Judge: City not liable for Cove odor By Pat Sherman A Superior Court judge has rejected claims against the City of San Diego contained in a lawsuit filed by La Jolla business owners and citizens who sued the city for what they view as public officials’ failure to rid La Jolla Cove of its pervasive odor from bird and marine mammal waste.
Confirming his previous tentative ruling, Judge Timothy Taylor granted the city’s motion for summary judgment on March 27 in the lawsuit filed two years ago by Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement (CONA). The city argued that the odor was among the risks and benefits of being located adjacent a
marine environment. The judge ruled the city doesn’t have a duty to control any nuisance caused by wild animals, and that the city isn’t the cause of the odor. CONA’s pro-bono lawyer, Norm Blumenthal, told La Jolla Light he plans to appeal the decision. See Cove Odor, A4

Educator was students’ middleman to the stars By Pat Sherman or nearly 25 years, University City resident Alan Greenberg served as a sort of luminary liaison, helping foreign college students studying in the United States learn about film, arts, politics and the military by posing their

questions directly to celebrities and notable figures — oftentimes conducting his interviews in La Jolla over lunch at sites such as the Grande Colonial and La Valencia hotels, or at the Dunemere Drive home of Academy Award-winning actor, Cliff Robertson.
Greenberg would have his students submit questions for everyone from comedian George Burns and actors Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon to former U.S. President Gerald Ford and feminist icon Gloria Steinem. Greenberg said his students —
largely from Japan, China, Korea or Vietnam — would ask questions via fax or index cards. After reading Steinem’s memoir, they had a lot of questions for the co-founder of Ms. magazine. “I got five or six pages of questions, See Celebrity Interviews, A6
Leaner, greener Cove Pavilion on its way By Ashley Mackin Although suggestions were still forthcoming regarding the new Cove Pavilion restroom project at Scripps Park, at the March 23 La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB) meeting, project organizer Judy Adams Halter said she is ready to turn the plans over to the city. Once the plans are in the city’s hands, the project will be put out to bid.
“We have a (community-approved) schematic plan to give the city,” said LJPB Chair Dan Allen, “and they will hire professionals and use their own resources and bring it back to us when they are ready to get started, so there will not be a lack of community input.” The project falls under the auspices of LJPB. The pavilion plan was introduced in January
2014 and proposed as a public-private partnership. However, in November 2014, the San Diego Regional Park Improvement Fund committee voted to fund the entire construction process. The city is dedicating at least $1.5 million for the pavilion, with the possibility of more funding coming from grants. See Cove Pavilion, A5

Concours d’Elegance events to rev-up auto enthusiasts of all stripes By Pat Sherman Whether a serious car collector or starryeyed sports coupe aficionado, there will be plenty of dream machines on display as gears and glamour converge during the 11th annual La Jolla Concours d’Elegance, Friday, April 10 through Sunday, April 12. This year’s show will highlight coach-built classic cars of the 1930s and ’40s, including the rarely seen 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe (aka Round Door Rolls) — on loan from the vaults of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles and rendered on canvas by official Concours artist, Scott Jacobs. “This is the baddest-looking Rolls you’ll ever see — the Batmobile of Rolls-Royces — but it’s a piece of art,” event chair Michael Dorvillier said. “You can’t put a price on this
car. … This is the crown jewel of their museum and they’re sending it to us with another car and two (vintage) motorcycles.”
Old-school custom In the early days of automobile production, car buyers would usually select an auto manufacturer to provide the rolling chassis, drive-train, engine, steering system and radiator, while procuring the services of a “coachbuilder” to create a personalized body. As auto manufacturing became more streamlined, only the affluent used custom coach builders. Completed in 1925, the Round Door Rolls with its cabriolet body was delivered to its original owner, Mrs. Hugh Dillman of Detroit, who did not fancy it. It was then sold to the Raja (prince) of Nanpara, India
and a series of owners before being sent to Belgium, where its cabriolet body was discarded and the vehicle fitted with its current, aerodynamic body, including namesake round doors, twin sunroofs, sloped radiator and large fin. Although Rolls devotees of the day thought the design too outlandish, the 20-foot-long, 6-foot-tall anomaly garnered one of the highest awards at the 1936 Cannes Concours d’Elegance. “We are going to have a large number of these beautiful, big old Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Duesenbergs and Packards on the field this year, including the Round Door Rolls, that are one-offs — there’s one in the world, and that’s what a coach-built car is,” Dorvillier chimed.

will be auctioned off during the AstonMartin VIP reception 6-9 p.m. Saturday night, April 11 in Scripps Park. Each year, Jacobs’ paintings of a featured Concours auto fetch as much as $80,000. “During the day on Sunday we sell posters of the car and he autographs them,” Dorvillier said. “We put the car by his booth and people can get their picture taken with it.” The Rolls-Royce Contemporary Classic Cocktail Party (co-presented By CJ Charles Jewelers), 7-10 p.m. Friday night, April 10 at La Valencia Hotel, will feature a circus theme and music by Los Angeles DJ Audiomoe and Saga Strings, a group of virtuoso female violinists who perform a mix of classical and high-energy contemporary music.

From Cove Odor, A1 Blumenthal maintains the city took on the duty to clean the rocks when former Mayor Bob Filner signed a May 2013 executive order to the city’s then Park & Recreation director. In the document, Filner states that the buildup of animal waste is a threat to human health and constitutes a “public health and welfare emergency,” calling for guano left by cormorants and sea lions to be cleaned up. “It was an order to Park & Rec to scoop the poop from the rocks — not only of the birds, but of all animal waste, including sea lion animal waste,” Blumenthal said, adding he believes Judge Taylor’s ruling to be “erroneous” because a judge cannot rule on disputed evidence during a summary judgment. “The judge did what he was not supposed to — interpret that order in a light most favorable to the entity seeking summary judgment. The judge is putting his own personal opinion in a place where it doesn’t belong. Mayor Filner’s order trumps everything else,” Blumenthal said. “The judge is responsible to order the city to follow its own orders, until the current Mayor changes those orders.” The city’s lawyer, Glenn Spitzer, told Judge Taylor the document from Filner wasn’t an executive order, but a memo, and that the issue should be addressed by the Mayor and City Council, not the courts. “This belongs in the political realm,” Taylor said. “The courts don’t run society.” City Attorney Jan Goldsmith added, “Sea lions are proliferating throughout California, and that is neither the fault nor

Everyone’s Pain is Unique
WE CAN HELP!
“We give you help and hope where you and others have given up.” ~ Dr. Bryn Henderson Certain conditions, such as degenerative arthritis, can cause severe joint pain, and conventional medicine offers treatment that may mask the pain temporarily, but not alter the condition itself. With the help of regenerative medicine and options such as platelet rich plasma therapy (PRP), things are changing right now to repair damaged tissue. PRP is an innovative therapy that is now gaining in popularity. The procedure entails drawing blood from a patient and then spinning it in a centrifuge machine. This generates a layer of concentrated platelets and growth factors that can possibly reduce pain and regenerate damaged tissue such as tendon or cartilage.
The PRP Therapy is covered by insurance. Here is a partial list of the conditions PRP helps considerably. • Golfer’s elbow • Tennis elbow • Shoulder tendinitis & Rotators Cuff Injury • Joint arthritis – hip, spine, knee, ankle, SI joint, elbow, wrist • Headaches – Migraines, Occipital Neuralgia
• Soft Tissue Injury – Tendonitis, meniscus tears in the knee, ligament sprains. • Sacroiliac Joint Pain • Ankle sprains • Achilles tendonitis • Plantar Fasciitis • Muscle tears • Call or visit us online for a complete list of treatments

Mayor Filner’s order and have people out there with shovels each day scooping the poop,” Blumenthal said. “In this regard, there’s no issue with the sea lions because you’re not touching the sea lions. All you’re doing is removing the poop.”
Plan that backfired CONA’s December 2013 lawsuit initially demanded the city remove a fence installed above La Jolla Cove that prevented human access to the bluff (CONA argued at one time humans on the bluff deterred sea lions from congregating there). However, in
response to pressure from La Jolla residents, the city added a gate in the fence of its own volition to facilitate that human access. Ironically, Blumenthal concedes, people are now on the bluff daily and the sea lions have become acclimated to their presence. “The city has the authority to be there and it can legally disturb the sea lions, as long as it’s not using lethal force under the Marine Mammal Protection Act,” Blumenthal said, noting that CONA has abandoned its attempt to use a marine mammal behaviorist to coax the sea lions from the area. He said the city is already following Filner’s directive, in part, by regularly applying microbial foam to the bluff that digests the bird guano (although it has little to no effect on sea lion waste and urine). “They’re halfway there, so the time has come for the City Council and the Mayor to complete the task as ordered,” Blumenthal said. “That’s going to be our appeal. I told the judge we will dismiss this case tomorrow (if the sea lion waste is removed). We don’t want a penny from the city, just a commitment to scoop the poop.” u
Real Es tate TODAY by Janet Douglas
Things to consider when stretching your budget for a new home often buyers find that the home of their dreams is not quite what they can afford to buy. But one can do some serious thinking about what really matters. Will granite countertops and spa bathtubs make you happier than living 15 minutes closer to work? is a third bedroom worth giving up a second car? is living in your dream neighborhood more important than having a yard? sometimes it is not all about the house. Features such as commute time and neighborhood amenities should also weigh heavily. do you want to be able to walk to shops, restaurants, and movies, or would you prefer to have a garden and yard? are certain schools for your children more important than the size of the house? a recent national association of realtors survey found that 75% of buyers said they had compromised on their home purchase, most commonly on the size and price.

From Cove Pavilion, A1 Leading up to the city vote to fund the project, private groups in La Jolla donated money to pay for schematic designs, which were later produced by architectural firm Safdie Rabines. With plans that opened up the pavilion’s ocean views, increased the number of public facilities and were aesthetically pleasing to the committee, Safdie Rabines presented them to the community for input in June and December 2014. In later rounds of presentations, including the December 2014 LJPB meeting and the February La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) meeting, feedback was given that prompted further plan revisions. The most recent version preserves an area of green considered “sacred” by SCUBA divers who use the nearby La Jolla Cove and is smaller than originally proposed. The city said its concern was, should the facility be too much larger, it might not have the resources to properly maintain it. “We had experts in their field and the city telling us it needs to be smaller, so we asked Safdie Rabines to advise and they gave us a new design with fewer restrooms,” said Adams Halter. “They said it was the inside restrooms and the storage area that was creating the bulk, so they suggested taking out one toilet from each of the single-sex indoor restrooms and one from either side of the 10 unisex stalls.” The configuration of the storage areas was also revised. The current, 50-year-old facility has 10 toilets in single-sex restrooms and one unisex facility, and the new restroom pavilion is proposed to have 17 toilets, predominantly in unisex stalls. The facility will also feature benches, outdoor showers, ADA-compliant toilets and showers, and storage for beach equipment. “We’re satisfied with it and at this point we are ready to turn it over to the city,” Adams Halter said. The pavilion committee previously considered further fundraising to hire Safdie Rabines to produce the bridging documents to ensure its plans are what actually gets built. However, the cost for such a contract would be $90,000,

Adams Halter said. “It doesn’t make sense to me to raise that much when the city is willing to fund it.” She added that she and committee member Patrick Ahern would act as liaisons between the community and the city to oversee the construction. While there is no guarantee the city will build the pavilion according to submitted plans, Adams Halter said the city seemed favorable to building something the community would be happy with. Ahern said, “This is a key asset for the city, that’s why the city is putting up the money to build it … so we are going to turn it over to them and be all over them to make sure it’s done right.”

n S-Curve update: The final stages of the WindanSea S-Curve project would replace the staircase leading to the beach at WindanSea and repair the rusted and deteriorating fence. The original amount needed to fund the project was privately raised, but higher-than-expected costs and permitting fees put the project behind schedule. One proposed solution is to take excess funds from the Children’s Pool Walk project – which would repair and upgrade the sidewalk area above Children’s Pool beach – and transfer them to the WindanSea project. Once it’s determined how much more is needed for the S-Curve project, the board will consider the transfer. n Cleaning Children’s Pool: In accordance with the
recent California Coastal Commission ruling that the city evaluate the quality of the water and sand at Children’s Pool beach and seek measures to improve it in five years (when the beach closure to protect it as a haul out site for pregnant and nursing harbor seals is lifted), Allen said LJPB could look at options for cleaning the beach that the city might find amenable. Options ranged from seasonally or permanently opening the sluiceways in the sea wall to allow water at high tide to come in and flush the beach, to community beach cleanups with shovels and pails, and commissioning a beach-cleaning machine. “It’s a list of what-ifs so we can look at the pros and cons and proceed accordingly, depending on the most favorable and practical solution,” Allen said. “We want to collect responses, so when the city opens up the discussion, we will have ideas thought out and feedback ready.” n Exchange Place reservoir parcel: The Exchange Place reservoir, located near the corner of Country Club Drive and Pepita Way, will be decommissioned and removed in 2016. Member Melinda Merryweather said she would like to see the parcel of land converted to a park. Discussion of how to do that is ongoing, and residents with feedback are encouraged to attend future meetings. n Next Meeting: 4 p.m. Monday, April 27 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org u

found the young real estate broker and tax consultant at a Palm Springs pancake house with his Hollywood mentor, who was then in his late 70s. When Capra was approached by a group of star-struck Japanese students studying film at the University of Southern California, Greenberg inquired about their curious green textbook. Capra, who directed most of the “Why We Fight” documentaries commissioned by the U.S. government during World War II (also shown in England at the request of Winston Churchill), lit up, Greenberg recalled. However, when Capra and Greenberg leafed through the Japanese textbook, what they found was “the most lopsided version of World War II you’ve ever heard,” Greenberg recalled. “You would have thought we attacked the Japanese,” he said. “Mr. Capra was very, very discouraged and depressed after that

meeting was over. He said, ‘Let’s tell the truth to the students. Let’s not have it biased on my side or their side.’ ” Having heard Greenberg lecture on real estate and finance, Capra was convinced he would do a stellar job conducting the free lectures — the first of which were intended solely to correct factual and perceptual inaccuracies on the U.S.’ role in World War II. Greenberg would drive to universities throughout Southern California posting index card notices about the lecture series in the administrative offices of UCLA and other colleges and universities. “The index card would say, ‘Community Service Program: Frank Capra and Al Greenberg present the unbiased, unvarnished truth about World War II’ — or something like that,” Greenberg said. “At that point Capra was as big as Steven
Spielberg is today. The phone would ring off the hook! That’s how we got started.” One student suggested they broaden the discussions to include film, art and politics. “They said, ‘Couldn’t Mr. Capra bring in people he would know, like Gregory Peck or Barbara Stanwyck? Wouldn’t it be a great thing to screen ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and have your guest speaker be Jimmy Stewart?’ ” Capra and Greenberg did just that, expanding what would become more than 1,500 lectures to bookstores in the Newport Beach and Orange County area, where Greenberg relocated in the 1980s. Greenberg would have students read autobiographies by everyone from former Republican Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater to Gen. Aaron Bank, founder of the Green Berets, and the late La Jolla resident and four-star Gen. Lemuel Shepherd, the 20th

In the late 1970s, when Greenberg was in his 20s, he read in a newspaper that Capra had just retired to nearby La Quinta and requested a meeting with the Hollywood legend, poring over Capra’s 500-page autobiography twice beforehand and astounding Capra with his in-depth knowledge of his career. From there, a friendship was struck that

Greenberg had his foreign students, including many from Japan, field questions to U.S. Air Force General Curtis LeMay (1906-1990, aka ‘The Demon,’ ‘Old Iron Pants’), responsible for the March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo, which was among the most destructive bombing raids in history. Commandant of the Marine Corps (who would help Greenberg arrange many of his high-profile military interviews). “He had stories that were just fabulous,” Greenberg said of Shepherd. “If I ever wanted a Marine who won a congressional medal of honor, I’d call Gen. Shepherd and the next morning that Marine would be on the phone with me. When the commandant calls you, you respond.” When Capra died in September 1991, Greenberg had a Rolodex brimming with celebrity contacts, and would continue the free educational program through 2005, living largely off his real estate portfolio. In one of his interviews, President Gerald Ford told Greenberg his life’s biggest disappointment was Nixon lying to him about the Watergate scandal when he was his vice-president. Nixon himself told
Greenberg conducted several interviews with Academy Awardwinning actor and part-time La Jolla resident Cliff Robertson (1923-2011) at Robertson’s Dunemere Drive home.
Greenberg how he financed his first congressional race with thousands of dollars in poker winnings. Interviewed at his favorite Mexican restaurant in San Juan Capistrano, Nixon confirmed the rumor that he did not do well with one-on-one exchanges, often glancing down into his menu long after ordering, Greenberg said. Interviews conducted in La Jolla included chats with Milton Berle, Carol Channing, Buddy Ebsen, Burt Lancaster, Jack Lemmon, Karl Malden and Gregory Peck. Some subjects were strictly professional associates, while others became close friends — particularly George Burns — who would bounce new comedic lines off Greenberg to get an unbiased opinion not always forthcoming from his staff — and Jack Lemmon, who let Greenberg film him getting into character on the set of one his last

films, the 1999 TV movie “Inherit the Wind.” “Imagine how much my students learned from that,” Greenberg said, going on to recall the time one of his students awkwardly asked Lemmon’s “Some Like It Hot” co-star, Tony Curtis, about his love life during a course. As Greenberg recalls, the leading man didn’t miss a beat. “He says to all of us, ‘You people wouldn’t believe the women I’ve had!’ and we’re all just like, whoa, here he is a top movie star looking like that, and you know he’s telling the truth.” Cliff Robertson—who Greenberg says would order a side of butter to slather on an already oily pizza — recounted to Greenberg his nerve-racking, early experience filming a passionate love scene with seasoned and stern Joan Crawford. “In the love scenes she was saying, ‘Cliff, over here, put this over
here, don’t do this’ … with 50 men around,” Greenberg recalled. Among his most difficult subjects to land an interview with was curmudgeonly “60 Minutes” commentator, Andy Rooney. “There was absolutely no way, he was going to do it,” Greenberg said. That is, until CBS News journalist Eric Sevareid suggested Greenberg stroke Rooney’s ego by talking about a little-known screenplay Rooney had written for a major studio early in his life, which was never made into a film. Sevareid mailed a copy of the script to Greenberg, and it opened the door for him. “Rooney said, ‘Where did you get that?’ ” Greenberg recalled. “I said, ‘Mr. Rooney, that’s how we do it. We do our research.’ ” u n Want to learn more? Interviews and info online at orcodevelopment.org and youtube.com/orcodevelopment

Examining the ‘luck’ factor
S
by an accumulation of mutated or other alterations in DNA. It has been known for many decades that there are three primary causes of cancer. First, environmental factors, such as overexposure to sun or smoking. Second, hereditary genetics like the BRCA1 factor in breast cancer. And third, random errors that occur during routine cell division. The Science paper from Cristian Tomasetti and Bert Vogelstein at Johns Hopkins was a purely mathematical model attempting to quantify the importance of these factors. Their model concluded that 65 percent of cancer is caused by random error occurring during normal cell division. According to their research, environmental effects or hereditary factors cause only one-third of cancers and the other two-thirds are just the result of bad luck. And thus, there is not too much to be done about it other than to rely on early detection and screening. However, there are several important points to keep in mind with this study. The mathematical model is based on estimated stem cell numbers and division rates of these cells in each organ. It is a number that is extremely difficult to accurately determine. Moreover, the model assumes that these rates are fixed and do not
Want to Know More? ■ For the past week, PBS has been airing Ken Burns’ documentary, “Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies,” in hour-long segments that begin at 9 p.m. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Siddhartha Mukherjee, the segments tell the complete story of cancer, from its first description in an ancient Egyptian scroll to the gleaming laboratories of modern research institutions. At six hours, the film interweaves a sweeping historical narrative with intimate stories about contemporary patients and an investigation into the latest scientific breakthroughs that may have brought us, at long last, to the brink of lasting cures. More at video.pbs.org and cancerfilms.org two-thirds of cancers considered to be “bad luck” cancers included these rare tumors. The study model did not account for the known effects of infection, inflammation or obesity on stem cell division and cancer development. There were inconsistencies with other cancers that fell into the “bad luck” category, such as head and neck and esophageal cancers that were put into this unfortunate group, but research also
s
ome of you may have read news stories recently that suggested getting cancer is simply a matter of bad luck, and that nothing can be done to significantly reduce one’s cancer risk. This conclusion is based upon a study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and published in the estimable journal Science in January. The study garnered lots of headlines, from the front pages of U-T San Diego to The New York Times. It generated discussion and more than a little confusion. The reason for the confusion is simple: The research was extremely complicated, but the media, by and large, distilled the results into headlines that were attention grabbing, but also misleading. In the service of science and, well, the facts, I would like to take this space to discuss the results of the Johns Hopkins study, why the findings should be interpreted with caution and why it is not in your best interest to abandon a healthy lifestyle and resign yourself to “luck” or “fate” in the effort to prevent cancer. A little background about the causes of cancer will be helpful. There is a great deal of scientific evidence that cancers are genetic diseases — caused
change over a lifetime, which is inconsistent with our understanding of cancer development. The model is primarily based on stem cell numbers in humans, but the researchers also extrapolated from numbers in mice. In some cases, the origin of stem cell numbers is not clear. A significant number of leading scientists who work with stem cells in cancer research do not agree with Tomasetti’s and Vogelstein’s figures. They are understandably cautious about accepting the results — for a number of reasons. For one, the model used by Tomasetti and Vogelstein did not look at certain cancer subtypes that come from the same stem cell. In cancers like leukemias, which arise from hematopoietic stem cells, you would expect equal numbers of different types of leukemias based on their stem cell mathematical model, but that isn’t what happens. The same is true for brain cancers, which arise from neural stem cells. You would expect similar numbers of the different types of brain tumors to arise from neural stem cells, but brain tumor types vary widely in the rate of incidence. Additionally, it’s not clear that all cancers arise from actual stem cells. For example, this is an ongoing debate regarding pancreatic cancer. Problematically, the study excluded breast and prostate cancer, which are among the most common cancers, but included several less studied, rare tumor types. Random stem cell replication errors may indeed be the initiating event in certain relatively rare cancers, but the fact is we just don’t know how they arise. The

I said REALTO R!
With 20 years of experience in the financial industry, I recently transitioned my practice to Wells Fargo Advisors in April of 2014. My previous practice with Edward Jones was located in the Danville, bay area of northern California. As a Financial Advisor, I help manage assets for individuals, trusts, retirement plans, and businesses. I especially enjoy working with women who have been divorced, widowed or recently came into an inheritance. I feel women are often underserved due to Financial Advisors’ lack of understanding of their needs simply by not listening or not being able to relate. As a woman Financial Advisor, I understand the importance of having specific plans for various life events. As a mother of two adults boys, married for 23 years, I understand the juggler role that women have - mom, daughter, caregiver, wife, career. I enjoy educating and empowering clients to take control of their financial future by providing a plan and investment advice. I enjoy helping couples obtain their financial dreams. My extensive experience throughout major shifts in the markets enables me to help my clients structure balanced portfolios to address their specific financial goals.I have earned a degree in Business Management and in addition to several applicable securities registrations, hold an Accredited Asset Management Specialist, AAMS professional designation.

shows that smoking and alcohol play big roles in the development of these cancers. These conflicting results underscore the concern about the accuracy of the stem cell numbers and assumptions used in the mathematical model — and if the resulting calculations were inaccurately magnified. It is admittedly very difficult to decipher the findings of this work, and even more so to effectively translate them for both public and healthcare professionals. Nonetheless, it seems that the magnitude of the findings was overstated in some tumors. It is not news that cancers can arise spontaneously from random genetic changes. What is new in this study is the magnitude of the claim that the majority of cancers are just bad luck. The study raises many questions and the public health message should not be that there’s nothing you can do about getting cancer. Even the authors agree that some cancers are preventable and every effort must be made to decrease the risk of cancer. With advances in technology and our understanding of stem cell biology, it will be interesting to see if the conclusions of this study remain intact. In the meantime, it seems prudent to make your own luck by living a healthy lifestyle and decreasing exposure to the toxins known to provoke DNA replication errors. u — Scott M.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS
Robbery victim foils gunman at La Jolla restaurant
A
robbery victim outsmarted a gunman during a holdup Monday morning, March 30 at TGI Friday’s in La Jolla, managing to escape and call police. The robbery occurred about 3:15 a.m. at the TGI Friday’s at 8801 Villa La Jolla Drive after the restaurant closed. Three people were cleaning up when one of them stepped outside to grab a mop. A man followed the worker back into the restaurant and made all three workers inside get down on the ground, at which point he robbed them of personal items including cell phones and wallets, according to SDPD Lt. Steve Hutchinson. One of the workers then pretended she wasn’t feeling well and needed medicine from her truck. The gunman told another employee, the woman’s husband, to retrieve the medication from the truck outside. Once outside, he ran into a nearby CVS Pharmacy and phoned police who arrived at the TGI Friday’s a few minutes later. The gunman had fled the scene. No one was injured.
campus came up with nothing suspicious. The San Diego County District Attorney’s office filed criminal charges against William John Cooper, 38, including one felony county of threats to a public officer and four misdemeanor counts of telephone harssment. FBI officials later confirmed the threat was tied to dozens of harassing calls reported to San Diego Police. School administrators said the issue is a “personal matter between individuals not employed by the school.” La Jolla Country Day is a private, college preparatory school with about 1,200 students, ages 3 through grade 12.

Listen up! HearUSA says it’s time to hear clearly again! By Marti Gacioch HearUSA can provide those with hearing loss with the ability to hear well again in a range of environments. A national corporation with offices throughout the United States and Canada, HearUSA opened in California in 1998. Evelyn Wilkinson, a California-licensed hearing aid specialist, has been with the California-based locations since 1998 and the La Jolla location since it opened in 2014. “We provide an evaluation, hearing aids, custom ear plugs and monitors, and we look at each person’s individual needs because everyone’s lifestyle and needs are different,” Wilkinson said. “Some people are often in noisier places than others, so I consider each situation to determine what hearing aid will provide them with the most benefits.” HearUSA provides the hearing test, the hearing aid fitting, adjustments, follow-up and annual cleaning for free. If a customer’s hearing changes, HearUSA provides free adjustments. “I want to help people in the beginning, three years later, and onward,” Wilkinson said. “I encourage patients to call if they’re having trouble; the biggest difference with HearUSA and other companies
measurement to test if the aid is hearing medium speech and soft speech, but not over amplifying loud sounds,” Wilkinson said. The only cost is for the hearing aid and customers typically make a deposit and return in a week to pick up the hearing aid and pay the balance. Clients receive a 3-year warranty that covers loss and damage insurance and a 60-day satisfaction period. If a customer feels their hearing aid isn’t working for them, they can exchange it for another model or receive a total refund. “Afterward, we do follow-ups to talk about the sound quality when they’re watching TV, visiting restaurants, etc.,” Wilkinson said. “We encourage friends and family to be part of the process because they often have been frustrated with the customer’s hearing loss for quite awhile.” u
is our patient care and satisfaction.” Wilkinson, who sees 5-15 people a day, said she evaluates customers’ needs and explains their options, then fits the customer
and checks to see if their new device provides clear sound quality. The visit ends with a lesson on all they need to know about hearing aids. “I also do a real ear

Each year, the Y helps more than 9 million youth nationwide “hop the gap” and achieve more, providing a safe to place to learn, stay healthy and build friendships. “The Y is so much more than sports, swimming, gymnastics and a place for kids to hang out.

La Jolla and San Diego: A marriage made in heaven By John A. Berol
I
n past letters to the La Jolla Light and at community meetings, one hears that with a wished-for gift of $2 million La Jolla could secede from the City of San Diego. My view is that La Jolla is better off remaining part of San Diego. I like voting in San Diego elections for Council District 1, mayor, city attorney and the school board. I would not want to find myself in a smaller pond John A. Berol — Del Mar II, as it were. While other beach cities are nice, four decades ago I made a choice for the more urban, diverse, dynamic, scruffy, wild, low-key and uniquely perplexing culture of the La Jolla community of San Diego. While very much its own place, La Jolla is also unalterably intertwined with the urban culture of the City of San Diego. The University of California recognized this fact in the naming of its La Jolla
campus as UC San Diego. With the same vision, the Art Center in La Jolla became the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. La Jolla’s attachment to San Diego has its frustrations, but there are social benefits of being part of a larger society. Small homogeneous wealthy enclaves tend toward a claustrophobic, stupefying sameness. In contrast, the culture and messy politics of the La Jolla section of San Diego are always fascinating and vibrant. As things are now, La Jolla is blessed with a very active core of volunteers who work tirelessly within the framework of the City of San Diego for the welfare of our local community. How that culture might change with secession is unknown. The La Jolla squabbles can become quite intense — see for example the current lawsuit brought against the La Jolla Community Planning Association. I believe the City of San Diego acts to modulate such fights and I am not sure who would keep things sane within a small separate city.
Moreover, on the positive side, I take great satisfaction from how the small community of La Jolla produces social good beyond the borders of ZIP code 92037. La Jolla was the first San Diego community to achieve a beach alcohol ban. After a massive battle led by the La Jolla Shores Association, the San Diego City Council voted for a test ban at La Jolla Shores beach. The results were so beneficial that ultimately the City Council expanded the ban to all beaches in San Diego. La Jolla leadership made the difference. And, La Jolla leadership continues to make a difference for San Diego: La Jolla’s Community Planning Association president Joe LaCava chairs the City of San Diego Community Planners Committee; past CPA president Tim Golba chairs the City of San Diego Planning Commission; and as stated in the La Jolla Light headline of Dec. 18, 2014: “La Jolla’s Sherri Lightner takes reins as City Council president.” La Jolla and San Diego have history together. Better to embrace than divorce. u

Sheila Joyce (Herz) Wilensky 1946 – 2015
Sheila Joyce nee Herz Wilensky passed away on Saturday 7 March 2015. Beloved by her partner, family, and many special friends, she was visited and tended to by her entire family in the final weeks of her illness. Sheila was a luminous, colorful and resourceful confidante to all who knew her. Sheila was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 17 August 1946, the second of two daughters, to Lotte and Hermann Herz. Her family emigrated to the United States in 1948. Her father found a position as resident symphony conductor in Duluth, MN, where she spent her childhood. She attended Stanbrook Hall and received a BS in International Finance from Boston University in 1968. She had a career
primarily in banking and international investment. Sheila had a working knowledge of several languages and was fluent in Spanish. She lived in Mexico City for 10 years and developed a client base there that remained with her for her whole life. Sheila was married to Stewart Wilensky, a noted film maker. Following his death in 1984, she cared for stepsons, Adam and Peter Wilensky, in Santa Monica and advanced through advisory positions at Citibank. During her time in La Jolla she was employed with Citibank, Coutts Bank, and EFG Capital. Sheila traveled widely and was an avid adventurist. Her sporting pursuits included hiking, skiing, scuba diving and sailing. She contributed broadly and in detail to a family genealogy project, as a source of history for a family with many accomplished members in music, art, finance and the professions. Sheila is survived by sister, Evelyn Herz Waxberg and Myron Waxberg, Esq., of Westfield, NJ; nephew, David Waxberg, of Phoenix and his children, Amanda and Jason; nephew, Gregory (Heather Ann) Waxberg, of Branchburg, NJ; stepson, Adam (Michelle) Wilensky, and children, Alexandra and Ethan, of Los Angeles; and stepson, Peter (Sidsie) Wilensky, and child, Emmett, of Denver.

Carl “Wayne” Vernon Ph.D. 1939 – 2015
Carl “Wayne” Vernon passed away peacefully on February 22, 2015, at Sharp Memorial Hospital due to complications from Parkinson’s. Wayne was born in Alamosa, Colorado, to Carl and Nina (nee Alexander) Vernon. Wayne was the eldest of four sons, Roger (d.1962), Ralph of Spanaway, Washington, and John of Tacoma, Washington. The family moved to Tacoma, Washington, following WW ll where Wayne attended Franklin Pierce High School. At an early age, Wayne demonstrated an aptitude for science, winning science fairs for his work on radio receivers and he received Honorable Mention in the Westinghouse National Talent Search. He came to be known as “The Professor” by his fellow students. He was a member of a jazz band and his love of jazz remained with him his entire life. Wayne graduated high school with highest honors and attended the University of Washington in 1958. Wayne married Charlotte Schmalle (d.1999) while a junior at the University. He
attended Graduate School at Princeton University, earning a Doctorate in High Energy Particle Physics in 1965. In 1966 Wayne became an Associate Professor of Physics and a Full Professor of Physics in 1980 at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) where he is considered one of the founding faculty of the University. He enjoyed all aspects of experimental physics and working in the laboratory where he found it rewarding teaching any student who wanted to work with him. He retired from UCSD in 1994 as Professor Emeritus. After retiring from the University he worked as a consultant to several local area businesses. Wayne enjoyed attending local concerts, opera, the theatre and spending time with his brothers. He is survived by his wife of 12 years, Eileen (nee Godek) of San Diego; daughter, Jessica Vernon Datte of Concord, CA; son, Roger of San Ramon, CA; two grandchildren, Tyler and Nicole Datte; and brothers, Ralph and John.

and was married for 36 years before her death in 1989. Together they raised five children. Frank left a 20 year career with Litton Industries and purchased a local typewriter business in San Diego. After completing their educations, his five children made the choice to become involved in the family business. The business today exists as an educational technology company headquartered in downtown San Diego and works with schools throughout California and across the country. His greatest pride was watching his children (and grandchildren) grow the business into to what it is today. Frank loved to travel with his family around the world but his favorite place to be was Italy where he and his children and grandchildren visited often. A week before his death he was on the golf course enjoying the beautiful outdoors showing off his effortless chip shot he was so famous for. He also enjoyed a great game of poker with his friends of many years and being down at the cove with his dog, KC, whom he cherished. Frank is survived by his children, Frank Jr. (Therese), Michael (Julie), David (Pat), Peter (Danielle) and Mattie; three grandchildren, Madeline, Michael Jr. and Domenic; sister, Mary Grace (Mario); and his companion of many years, Darcy Lara. A memorial service was held on March 9, 2015, at All Hallows Catholic Church. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.

Back-to-school in August? Forget it!
OPINION
OUR READERS WRITE
San Diego Unified School District wants to change its calendar “to benefit students”? Forget interfering with summertime by starting school in the heat of August. Instead, SDUSD might trim: 1) Elementary half-day-Wednesdays that happen throughout the year; 2) Week-long half-days of instruction that precede the now-expanded weeklong Thanksgiving vacation; 3) A second week of half-days of instruction that precedes weeklong Spring vacation. Those 10 half-days are supposed to cover parent-teacher conferences, which require working parents to figure out alternative childcare and show up at school for 10 minutes in the middle of a weekday afternoon. Whatever happened to report cards? By my count, in San Diego Unified only the months of September and October are without some kind of day off. Frances O’Neill Zimmerman
What do you know about your tap water?
six golf balls in my gutters. Over the past year, we have found at least a dozen in the yard and driveway. I walked around the neighborhood and found that no one knew who the culprit was, but two different neighbors told me that they had the same problem a few years ago. Given their location, and the direction the balls came from, their golfers were not the same as mine. (Unless we have a roving golfer, who is teeing off from different spots around the neighborhood.) This is a very dangerous thing. If a golf ball hits someone in the head, the victim will suffer a traumatic brain injury, and possibly die. I now have solar on my roof, but how long will the panels last with golf balls hitting them? I don’t think my warranty will cover that. There doesn’t seem to be any way of addressing this issue, other than walking around the neighborhood and hoping I find the culprit. So far, no one has ’fessed up. Laura Colban
La Jollans: Quit golfing Dog-walkers truly from your yards! need some manners It appears that a number of La Jolla residents love to golf, and don’t get enough tee time. Many have resorted to golfing from their homes. On Saturday, March 7, I had a worker installing solar panels on the roof, when a golf ball whizzed by, missing his head by a couple of inches. Another plopped onto the driveway 10 minutes later. While installing the panels, workers found
The problem with dogs leaving their excrement on public sidewalks is not restricted to the Village alone. We live on Cactus Way in a cul-de-sac off Soledad Mountain Road and have an almost daily deposition left behind on our sidewalk. In addition, some owners walk with their dogs unleashed and do not monitor their moment-by-moment
activity. We are looking for a solution. Heli Hofmann

Based on a letter in the March 26 La Jolla Light, someone has not been paying attention to local media for the past five years or so. There have been numerous articles in local newspapers, free tours of the Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF), television news items, public meetings, City Council sessions, and an entire website dedicated to the AWPF!
Many people share a lack of knowledge about water treatment processes, and, more importantly, no big picture view. San Diego’s tap water is hardly “pristine” (sic). It has been recycled many times before it reaches our distribution system. Our water supply comes from the end of the pipe, and includes treated municipal wastewater, treated and untreated industrial wastewater, agricultural irrigation runoff, precipitation runoff, and myriad of constituents ranging from simple dirt and sediments all the way to complex longchain hydrocarbons. All one has to do is go to the Water Department website, open the operational reports and see that the quality of water coming out of the AWPF is practically that of distilled water. The time for “public debate” is long past, and it’s now time to move the AWPF from the pilot stage to the full-scale production stage. Dale S. Duffala, CHMM

Beaches could benefit from Big Belly receptacles
A friend passed along your article about overflowing trash cans in La Jolla. I recommend a solution: Big Belly. Waste goes in and doesn’t come out! Jim Poss
Overflowing trash cans are still a problem At the foot of Sea Lane this week, I found garbage overflowing trash cans, broken beer bottles with glass in the sand, and trash blowing all over the beach. I saw a Park & Rec worker cleaning the horrible mess and I felt bad for him and thanked him. But nevertheless, we have a problem with partygoers who are clearly not respecting the beach alcohol ban. I propose that police come by more often! I know they increase their patrols in the summer, but this spring break week has been rough! Please publish the phone number for residents to request trash pickup. Elizabeth Ashcroft Editor’s Note: City Environmental Services can be reached at (858) 694-7000. The police non-emergency number is (619) 531-2000.
Parking lot frenzy is human folly at best I have a question about the people trying
to drive, walk and park in the parking lot at the Whole Foods in La Jolla. What planet are they from? It seems no one there has any concept of reality outside the interior of their car or cell phone. A typical day finds people walking across the lot talking or texting, completely oblivious to other people or cars. I totally understand it’s critical not to miss a text, Facebook posting or call about what the cat wants for dinner, but perhaps they can pause for three seconds to look where they’re going. And to the person texting in her car while blocking the “Keep Clear” intersection: Maybe you can stop sooner next time so the traffic trying to get in the lot does not get backed up onto Noble Drive? Getting out of my car and walking to the store is only slightly less dangerous than attempting to walk across Interstate 5 in the dark. Really, person texting while I’m waiting to cross the crosswalk, can you slow down to less than 15 miles per hour, so I can run to the store entrance? Backing out of a parking spot is like bumper cars at the carnival, with people remembering to look behind them as soon as they hear the screeching sound of metal on metal. If I were a San Diego police officer, I would park right in front of the store as no one would see me and I could easily write tickets all day long. I’m pretty sure I would make my ticket bonus quota for the quarter in about 20 minutes and be ready to retire to Hawaii after a few days. As for me, I’m now a full time Amazon Prime shopper and the doctor told me my life expectancy has increased by 15 years. If you think I’m making this up, take a drive through the lot and see for yourself. u Paul Angelos

DO YOU HATE THE THOUGHT OF GOING TO THE GYM? Many people do not like going to the gym. There are plenty of reasons why. Most people think they need 45 minutes of weight-training plus another 45 minutes of cardio. By the time you drive to the gym and back, exercise and take a shower, 2 ½ hours have passed. The gym can also be intimidating for both men and women and you can easily blow out a knee or tear a rotator cuff if you don’t know what you’re doing. The air-conditioning makes one feel they are in a meat locker and the music can be incredibly irritating. The cost and commitment is often more than one can bear. Let’s not even talk about the germs. But there are numerous benefits of exercise that simply cannot be ignored: • Lowers cholesterol • Decreases the risk of diabetes, stroke, certain types of cancer, arthritis and cardiovascular diseases • Increases longevity • Helps control weight and builds lean muscle • Improves mood, sex life and quality of sleep • Raises energy levels and reduces stress At La Jolla Wellness Studio we have patented a 30-minute workout called the MyoMetrix™ Workout that utilizes high-technology fitness equipment and delivers the equivalent of 100 minutes of weight-training for muscle tone and strength, 60 minutes of aerobic exercise for cardio conditioning and 20 minutes of stretching for limberness and flexibility ALL IN 30 MINUTES. Too good to be true? The fact is that it is not. Each workout is tailored to the client’s fitness level and guided through with a personal trainer on each visit. At most local fitness shops, the cost for one-on-one training is $60-$80 per hour, but we know that La Jollians like a deal. Here it costs approximately $30 an hour, but the fact that you only need 30 minutes means you’re paying about $15 for one-on-one training. You’re also getting a workout that provides so many additional positive benefits along the lines of anti-aging and stress reduction as well as improved circulation, fat and cellulite reduction, increased libido, decrease in cortisol levels, increase in HGH and energy healing because of our unique equipment. All of our trainers are eager to give nutrition and supplement advice free of charge and they practice what they preach. The trainers were voted “Best Personal Trainers” two years in a row and the studio was voted “Best Fitness Boutique” by La Jolla residents. We have been featured on television in news programs and various magazine publications. La Jolla Wellness Studio is a La Jolla familyowned business.

Boys Lacrosse: La Jolla High School Vikings 18, Mission Bay High School Buccaneers 0
Viking offense too much to handle for Buccaneers By Kyle Loomis he La Jolla High Vikings boys lacrosse team continued its strong season start with a resounding 18-0 home victory against the Mission Bay High Buccaneers on Friday, March 27. This latest win keeps the Vikings undefeated in league play, and increases their total record to 6-2. Even though it’s still early in the season, there is plenty of optimism regarding the team’s expectations for this season after statement wins against league rivals Point Loma High (March 6), San Diego High (March 11), University City High (March 18), and Friday’s game against Mission Bay. All games were won by at least eight goals. Junior Connor Usselman, who leads the team in points (goals plus assists), said he feels hopeful about La Jolla High’s chances to continue their strong play and go deep into the postseason. “The big difference (between this team and previous squads) is the attitude of our team,” Usselman said. “Everyone’s super positive and we’re working hard to do something this year. Hopefully it’s a Division II CIF Championship. I think our squad will do that.” Third-year head coach Tom Duerr attributes his team’s early success to the leadership displayed by the team’s juniors and seniors. “They’ve really just led the way,

Junior Connor Usselman leads his team in points this season, with multiple goals against Mission Bay in La Jolla’s 18-0 win. Photos by Kyle Loomis held guys accountable, really have been sharp with everything,” Duerr said. “I think our senior leadership has been the best that I’ve ever had in my three years here, and it shows just with their effort on the field.” While players and La Jolla High fans will bask in optimism, Duerr will remain focused on the task at hand. “It’s just one game at a time,” Duerr said. “Mainly our expectations are to just take one game at a time, and have fun and play with a ton of effort.” If the Vikings are able to maintain this high
level of play, they should be able to compete with the best teams in the county. Against the Buccaneers on Friday, they demonstrated their impressive capacity to attack their opponents’ net and score goals at will. Throughout the first quarter, the Vikings’ attackers executed crisp, clean passes around the perimeter. Usselman used his extraordinary agility to weave around defenders and drive toward the net. La Jolla also exhibited a remarkable ability to scoop the ball off the ground when it was loose. The efficient ball handling on the
offensive end of the field resulted in a 9-0 lead after the first quarter. After establishing a strong lead, the Vikings slowed down their offense and became more picky about when and where they chose to attack. “We were just trying to get in our offense and get our calls going,” Duerr said. “Get it around (the perimeter) and get everybody on the same page so we can work on what we want to work on.” The cautious strategy helped consume minutes, in addition to letting the Vikings efficiently run the plays they wanted. As a result, the majority of the game was played in La Jolla’s attacking half. The Buccaneers didn’t threaten to score until a close shot on goal with just over eight minutes left in the second quarter. At halftime, the score was 11-0. Behind multiple goals from Usselman, junior Kyle Jetter and senior Reid Martin, victory was all but assured for the Vikings after the third quarter ended with La Jolla up 15-0. “They played well,” Duerr said. “It was a good win.” n La Jolla’s next game is against Eastlake High from Sammamish, Washington April 6. The Vikings will play their second game against league rival University City High April 10. u

La Jolla High School inducts four new Hall-of-Famers By Ashley Mackin La Jolla High School’s Baseball Hall of Fame inducted four new members March 7, and then carried on the tradition of an alumni team playing a game against the current varsity team. La Jolla High School grads Patrick Christensen (Class of 2009), Trent Jemmett (2008), Jacob Grosz (1995) and Peter Sefton (2008), were commended for their achievements in baseball and joined 16 other former Vikings in the Hall of Fame. Jemmett and Grosz attended the induction, Christensen and Sefton couldn’t make it. Six previously inducted members were present and recognized: Bob Allen (Class of 1977); Rick Eveleth (1964), Jon Felfoldi (2000), Gary Frank (1990), Jason Green (1994) and Ed Olsen (1953). Howard Frank, a volunteer on the committee that finds these outstanding graduates (and father to La Jolla’s current baseball coach Gary Frank), said the search committee uses statistics that cover different categories to determine who should be inducted. “High school record book lists statistics and who is a leader in categories such as batting average, number of doubles, number of triples, on-base percentage, base on balls, winning percentages, strikeouts, complete games, etc.,” Howard Frank said, noting the board also considers CIF recognition, overall high school career success and any college and/or professional baseball experience. “Each of these former players fit the criteria and each in their own right had
Alumni include: Bob Coates ’54, Bob Allen ’77, Gregg Holdgrafer ’83, Mark Wayne ’84, Mike Adams ’90, Gary Frank ’90, Rey Morales ’93, Jason Green ’94, Jacob Grosz ’95, Matt Grosz ’97, Jon Felfoldi ’00, Jack Boyl ’01, Ryan Guidi ’01, Paul Misleh ’01, Jeff Ponsford ’01, James Greaves ’03, Spencer Oliver ’03, Kevin Jones ’07, Jack Peterson ’07, Blake Shelburne ’07, Trent Jemmett ’08, Bo Peterson ’08, Robbie Beathard ’09, Zac Zlatic ’10, Spencer Manlapig ’11, Michael Peterson ’11, Trevor Shelburne ’11, Timothy Biers ’12 Courtesy outstanding high school careers,” he said. “When the criteria were considered, each one more than qualified.” Pitcher Christensen’s accolades include being named the 2008 Western League Pitcher of the Year and an All-League Player three times. He is (as of now) an all time leader in wins during a season with nine and also in a career with 23. Christensen played four years of college baseball and in 2013, was selected in the 27th round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Houston Astros. When Grosz graduated, he was the alltime career win-leader with 19, but was surpassed by Christensen. Also a pitcher,
Grosz racked up impressive numbers in four different pitching categories, most notably, striking out 140 batters in his high school career. Grosz participated in the CIF Championship game in 1993 and played college baseball and was the manager of a La Jolla Youth Baseball 2014 PONY All Star Team. Jemmett, a shortstop, boasts the third highest batting average in La Jolla High School history with 377. He was a four-year varsity player and listed among singleseason leaders with 47 hits in a season and 38 runs in a season, and a career hittingleader with 120. He was named to the CIF First Team in 2007, the same year he led the Vikings to the second round of playoffs, and
CIF Second Team in 2008. Sefton, a first baseman, in addition to his leading numbers in eight categories, including an impressive season high of 38 Runs Batted In (RBIs), was the recipient of two awards in 2008. One was the Brent Woodall Award, named for the La Jolla High School graduate who played baseball and was killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, which is given to students who exemplify leadership. He was also named the 2008 San Diego County Student Athlete of the Year. This year’s alumni game was the tradition’s 22nd, and the current Varsity team managed to win, 15-8. u

to show off their talents,” said codirector Patrick Anderson. “If you love music, this is a way to hear it in a very informal and intimate setting. You’re sitting five to 10 feet from the singer and it feels like they are performing just for you. People seem to really enjoy that. It’s almost like a cabaret where you can get up and get a glass of wine and bring it back to your seat and enjoy the show.” The singers, often students preparing for a career in music or members of the San Diego Opera chorus, are encouraged to throw Broadway songs into the mix.

Viking Cynthia Chhoeung brings ‘let’s do this’ attitude to football By Ashley Mackin a Jolla High School junior Cynthia Chhoeung of Oak Park is one enthusiastic Viking. She played junior varsity football as a defensive right tackle, and said she looks forward to trying out again next year. “I started playing football when I was like 5 years old because I watched it with my dad and we would play,” she said. “I always wanted to play football for a school team instead of just outside with my friends.” During her season, Chhoeung would approach the field — and tackling — with gusto. And her teammates quickly figured that out. “At first they were worried about tackling me, but I didn’t care and once they saw how hard I could tackle, they didn’t care,” she said. In her last game, she almost tackled the opposing Kearny Mesa Komet’s quarterback. “I wish I had a lot of players with her drive,” said JV head coach Craig Gagliardi. “She had an overall positive attitude of ‘I can do this and so can you, so let’s do this’. There was a lot of ‘yes coach’ from her.” In five years of coaching, Gagliardi never coached a female player and said he didn’t know what to expect. “Everybody embraced her, it was great,” he said. “Everyone was just fine with bringing her in.” He pointed out that once the gear goes on, most players wouldn’t recognize that they were playing against a female. “My friends and family were really excited that I got on the team,” Chhoeung said. While she is not the first girl to don a Viking helmet, having a female player only happens once in a blue moon. La Jolla High School athletic director Paula Conway said she could only recall two. When not playing football, Chhoeung plays soccer. But she said football is “more my thing” because she can be more aggressive. “When she is out there blocking, you can tell she has the biggest smile on her face,” coach Gagliardi said. “She’s happy to be out there, happy to be doing it and she’s a great asset.” u

Youth Baseball focuses on player development in March By Tom Murphy
La Jolla Youth Baseball
M
arch can be a frenetic month for La Jolla Youth Baseball (LJYB) players who attend clinics, seminars and extra practices to boost their skills in the front end of the season. The highlight for most players was the fifth annual La Jolla High School Vikings Baseball Clinic for Mustang, Bronco and Pony players March 8. Varsity head coach Gary Frank, assistant coaches Jake Grosz, Steve Booth, Justin Martin, and the entire varsity team hosted more than 75 LJYB players at the Ronnie Spelman Field on Muirlands campus. The attendance was double over prior years, which underscores the growing relationship between the league and the Vikings baseball program. There were numerous stations set up for players to move around in small groups, picking up tips for fielding, hitting, pitching, running bases and game strategies. Regardless of age or experience, there was a lot to learn and the players showed their appreciation by listening closely, trying their best and having great attitudes. The following week, former Atlanta Braves player Ryan Lehr of The Pure Swing hosted a hitting clinic attended by 30 players and a number of coaches. Lehr is known for his expertise in the mechanics and analytics of hitting, and he’s generous with his time helping LJYB kids become better hitters. Around the league, March is all about applying what you learn from practices and

The remaining teams are bunched together within a game or two including MedImpact, Garden Communities, Voices for Children, La Jolla Community Foundation, Las Patronas and Willis Allen. John Hartford, TJ Bibler and Kevin Steel have hit a few home runs. These records indicate parity within the division, as well as coaches playing to gain experience for their developing players instead of winning games. n Pinto division has 10 teams, yet very few scores have been recorded. This early, it’s more important for the kids to experience playing full six-inning games without worrying about the scores. Many first year Pinto players are still learning the rules and there is plenty of time for recording wins and losses when they return from spring break. n The 10 Shetland teams do not keep or report scores. u

It’s
tIme for a sweep !
Spring is the perfect season for a professional chimney inspection and cleaning Spring has sprung and you’ve gotten another great fall and winter out of your fireplace. Time to put it out of mind and focus on other parts of your home, right? Wrong. After annual use, it is recommended that you have your fireplace professionally inspected and cleaned. Mold, mildew, pollen, dust and flammable creosote are among the hazards that can collect in the flue of the chimney. A thorough inspection and any necessary cleaning will dislodge and remove such hazardous buildups. Steven Carter and his company Chimney Sweeps, Inc., serve 40,000 customers across the entire San Diego County. The family-run operation has been in business since 1985 and holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Carter likens your chimney to a car. When regularly maintained, it can serve you well for decades. If left largely ignored, little issues can start to occur that eventually lead to the need for a complete removal and replacement. And that type of masonry work, he says, could run you up to $20,000. Carter and his team recently offered their insights related to some common questions they receive from customers. Find their answers below and take advantage of their $89 fireplace cleaning and inspection deal during the spring months. Q: Why are chimney inspections needed in summer, when we are unlikely to use the fireplace? A: There are several processes which occur in the summer, even though the fireplace may not be in use. What happens is that over the winter, the chimney is getting moisture from the air, whether in the form of rain, humidity, mist or morning dew. The chimney absorbs this moisture and retains it. Then when the warmer months come, that moisture is baked out of the chimney.
Due to the moisture itself, and the contraction and expansion that takes place, deterioration can occur of the bricks and mortar of the chimney. This deterioration reduces the structural integrity of the chimney and is something you want to check for and stay on top of. Q: What can be done about this? A: A routine safety inspection is what we recommend. We check for structural weaknesses, along with all other aspects of our 14-point inspection. You will receive our expertise, top service and a full condition report. Minor repairs can be done as needed, rather than potentially more costly repairs or even damage to your home down the road if you let these issues occur for too long. Q: Most people know that mold, mildew, pollen and dust can be health hazards, especially for people who are allergic – why is creosote such a concern? A: Creosote is the carbon residue that comes from burning wood. When it is mixed with heat and moisture in the summertime, it turns into an acid and can start to deteriorate the mortar that holds your bricks together from the inside out. Structural integrity of the fireplace can be at risk. Q: With those high San Diego energy prices, how much of an issue is the home’s cooled air escaping through the chimney during the summer months? A: It’s a costly one. I tell people your chimney is like an open vent in your home. We can install a type of damper that allows the homeowner to seal off the chimney when not in use. This way the heat stays out and the air-conditioned air stays in. Q: How big of a problem do unwanted pests and animals cause your customers? A: Birds, bugs, bees, lizards and even the occasional raccoon family love making chimneys their home. These uninvited guests can be quite a nuisance. There is even an instance of a whole house filling up with migrating birds, and they were found to have come in via the chimney. Again, the damper can be a good option here for sealing off the chimney when it’s not in use.

section b 10 QUESTIONS Melinda Merryweather
What’s new about growing old? n Gerontologist paints
rosy picture of aging in the future Surf, sand, sea are sacred trusts for Melinda Merryweather
M
elinda Merryweather was raised on a large ranch in Arizona. Her father, Hubert Merryweather, was president of the Arizona State Senate, where he served from 1948 to 1954. She moved to New York City after high school to work for the Ford Agency as a model and became an art director, a self-described psychedelic Martha Stewart. Merryweather married Mike Hynson of the “Endless Summer” feature film and followed the surf around the world. She made “Rainbow Bridge” in Maui with Jimi Hendrix, which was released in 1971. She gave birth to her son at home in La Jolla and created Rainbow Juice Bar on La Jolla Boulevard. Merryweather moved to Hawaii and lived there for seven years. She is co-founder of Friends of WindanSea, vice-president of Independent La Jolla, and a member of California Coastal Access Trust. What brought you to La Jolla? My grandparents built a house in La Jolla in 1935. My sister and I came for a summer when I was 4 and we stayed at the Beach Club. Once I put my toes in the ocean, I knew this is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I’d like to see us become our own city, and return the Children’s Pool to the children. See 10 Questions, B17
By Manny Lopez hat’s the secret to aging gracefully? Residents of Pacific Regent La Jolla retirement community got some answers during a March 18 presentation titled “Incredible things happening in the world of aging,” by gerontologist Jon Schwartz. Schwartz started the presentation by asking the audience to think about the most impressive event that has happened in the last century. To cue the crowd, he showed pictures of influential moments in American history: The Industrial Revolution, invention of the car/ plane, victory in World War II, landing on the moon, the dawn of the computer and Internet. His last picture was a series of age demographic charts that looked obscure. However, after explanation, these graphs showed the phenomenal shift in longevity See Aging in the Future, B3

Over 60? Time to Refire!
The best is yet to be! say life coaches By Will Bowen want to try and help older people make the rest of their life the best of their life,” author, business consultant and motivational speaker Ken Blanchard told a gathering at UC San Diego’s Price Center Ballroom March 12.

to aging. Blanchard has authored more than 60 books, including “The One Minute Manager,” a classic that has sold 13 million copies. Shaevitz, his collaborator, practices at Scripps Clinic, is the chair of Geriatric Psychology for the California Psychological Association, and is a professor at the UCSD School of Medicine. “We hope to encourage people to ‘Refire!’ and that involves developing an attitude of embracing the years ahead with enthusiasm rather than apathy,” Blanchard said.

La Jolla Cultural Partners
of the masses over the last 100 years. Schwartz said he believes the advancement of added years for many people is the greatest achievement in the past century. However, he posed, “Has our greatest accomplishment (Longevity) turned into one of our greatest burdens? “Medicine has helped us live longer, but what about our quality of life?” Schwartz asked the crowd, whose average age, according to several residents, was 92. Schwartz pointed out that in the year 1900, life expectancy in the United States was age 47, with the leading causes of death listed as communicable disease such as infection, tuberculosis and influenza. He said improvements in medicine, technology and sanitation have raised life expectancy to age 78 (in 2010), with non-communicable disease such as: heart disease, cancer and stroke the primary causes of death. Among the aging drawbacks outlined in his discussion were aches, pains, memory loss, strains on finances and inadequate retirement savings. Several audience members cited other difficulties — the loss of close friends, family members or a spouse, and the loss of one’s independence, sense of purpose and health. Sadie Berelowitz, who arranged the lecture, said many residents of Pacific Regent would probably be living alone in an apartment or home waiting for someone to call or visit, but instead they are part of a vibrant community where there is freedom and the ability to do all sorts of things. Schwartz assured the audience that a
Above: Jon Schwartz (at the podium) has an M.S. in Gerontology from USC. Right: Schwartz speaks with Robert Berk after the lecture. Photos by Manny Lopez positive attitude is critically important to aging successfully, adding that he believes the secrets to living beyond 100 years are to move naturally, have a sense of purpose, know how to relax, meditate, and only eat until you’re 80 percent full. He urged the group to consume more plants, fruits, vegetables and even wine; to have a religious affiliation; put their family and friends first, and associate with people who share their values. Looking to the future of aging, Schwartz said medicine is becoming more personalized and based on an individual’s DNA. Smartphones, 3-D printing, vaccines, nutrition, and more targeted and accurate surgeries performed by robots could stretch human longevity into the 120-year range. Google’s driverless car and smart housing will allow people to live independently like never before, “a
huge game changer,” he said. After the discussion, resident Ricki Polisar said the talk touched many and gave them something to think about moving forward. “He was very optimistic and did not paint a glum picture about aging,” she said. “He didn’t tell us about all of the things that we can’t do. Instead, he painted a good picture of all the good things that can happen, which I enjoyed very much.” Resident Betty Miller said she was inspired enough by what she heard to return to volunteering for good causes. “Up until the time I moved into Pacific Regent, I always did volunteer work, but I’ve just let it go,” she said. “It’s easy to just sit here and do whatever you want and not give back to the community. I spend a lot of time reading, but that’s not helping anybody else and helping others is what I feel I need to do.”
Nathan Zechter said he is excited, enthused and energized just being with people who have achieved things and continue to want to grow and enjoy life to the fullest. “The discussion was very stimulating and thoughtprovoking, challenging all of us to contribute to the future,” he said. Schwartz concluded with the proposition that a society with a population of elders who are stagnant is cause for concern, but creating a generation of elders in the 21st century who give back, volunteer and expose their talents could lead to living in a time that’s better than any other era humanity has ever seen. “I encourage younger people to work inter-generationally with older people to create wonderful solutions to real problems and in doing so, change the perception of what seniors can do,” he said. u

Four La Jollans to be honored at Salvation Army lunch By Pat Sherman The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary will honor 15 women for their longstanding record of community service — including four La Jollans — during its 50th annual Women of Dedication luncheon, “50 and Fabulous,” Tuesday, April 7 at Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel. The La Jolla honorees are: Vicki Baron, Diane Annala Chalmers, Micki Olin and Doreen Schonbrun. Baron recently served as board chair of Barrio Logan College Institute, an afterschool program providing underserved students with access to higher education, and is an advisory board member with University of San Diego’s School of Leadership and Education Sciences, where she established an annual scholarship. The outgoing president of ARCS Foundation, Inc., Chalmers has served on the boards of numerous nonprofit and arts foundations, including San Diego Repertory Theatre, La Jolla Cancer Research Foundation and Urban Corps of San Diego. Olin’s community service has benefitted schools, including Bird Rock Elementary, La Jolla High, The Gillispie School and Bishop’s School. She served five years on Las Patronas’ board of directors, chairing the 2004 Jewel Ball. Schonbrun serves on the executive board of the San Diego Center for Children, which is committed to the treatment of young people suffering from severe emotional or psychological challenges. She was appointed

That’s how we make really great friends — the Army is not just honoring them, but also inviting them to participate
in what we do.” La Jolla community volunteer and 2013 Women of Dedication honoree Sherry Ahern said that’s exactly how she got involved with Salvation Army. After finishing her service on the La Jolla Community Center board, Ahern was recognized as a Woman of Dedication for her efforts to raise funds for La Jolla schools by starting the La Jolla Open Aire Market, for helping establish the La Jolla Pediatric Diabetes Research Center and other charitable activities. “The Salvation Army came along at just the right time for me,” said Ahern, who held a luncheon at Door of Hope recently to show women how the money raised by the Women’s Auxiliary benefits those in need. Although Ahern said she didn’t know a
lot about the Salvation Army before being honored, she answered the organization’s call to service and is now fundraising chair for the Women of Dedication lunch. “More than 80 percent of every dollar comes back to the Salvation Army, (while) so many of the other nonprofits are paying a lot of money in salaries,” Ahern said of her reason for getting involved. “I’ve made this a choice. This is near and dear to me. It’s going to be in my life forever.” The Salvation Army is gearing up for a $10 million capital campaign to add an interim housing facility to its Door of Hope campus that will serve homeless families. “It’s short-term housing to help people get their lives restarted and get them back into permanent housing as quickly as possible,” See Women of Dedication, B16

Hearty laughs ahead in ‘Buyer & Cellar’ at Old Globe Theatre
Ron Lagomarsino (left) directs David Turner in Jonathan Tolins’ ‘Buyer & Cellar,’ April 4-May 3 at The Old Globe Theatre. Jim Cox
By Diana Saenger “Diva” has a lot of different meanings, all of which a young man who gets an opportunity to be close to a megastar experiences, and no one can anticipate the thrills and perils of such an unequal relationship. The comedy unfolds in Jonathan Tolins’ “Buyer & Cellar,” a hit Off Broadway, which continues The Old Globe Theatre’s 80th Anniversary festivities as part of the Balboa Park Centennial Celebration. Ron Lagomarsino directs David Turner in this funny oneman show. Lagomarsino has helmed everything from Broadway and regional theatrical productions to more than 40 TV films and shows including “Ally McBeal,” “The Unit,” “Homefront,” “The Fosters,” “Pretty Little Liars” and “Picket Fences,” for which he garnered a Directors Guild of America Award. He had several reasons for wanting to direct “Buyer & Cellar.” “I’ve done a lot of comedy in my career, as well as drama, and this is such a funny and wonderful play,” Lagomarsino said. “It also aligned me with The Old Globe for the first time.” Lagomarsino collaborated with Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein for casting. He wanted someone who was really funny, really smart and a great actor. Edelstein looked to one of the Globe’s associate producers, Eric Louie, and they agreed it would be a great role for David Turner. There were several candidates in the running, but after Lagomarsino met Turner, he knew Turner was the one for this role. “I felt pretty darn lucky,” Turner said. “It’s actually the first time in my life I’ve been asked to do something just on faith, and I’m very grateful for that. Once I saw the play, I was dying to do it.” Turner (Broadway’s “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever,” “Sunday in the Park with George”) plays Alex More, an out-of-work actor who lands a job that turns out to be far more than he expected. He’s employed by Barbra
Streisand to work in her collection of memorabilia shops in the lower level of her Malibu home. “I play all six characters in the story,” Turner said. “It’s not much different than the work I’d do for any play, but instead of doing it once, I have to do it six times. I don’t change costumes, so I have to figure out where these people are from, what they are like, and tell the story in the clearest way possible.” Lagomarsino added, “The challenge is he has to turn on a dime and carry on a dialogue between these different characters. It’s a real tour de force for an actor, and that’s part of the challenge in telling this story, but also part of the fun in creating the illusion.” Turner likened the play to a radio drama. “Because what you’re really doing is calling on the audience from the very beginning to activate its imagination. I tell them right off the bat, ‘You will be needed to see things and hear things that are not here. I will do my best, but you are the missing piece of this fantasy and you need to do the work.’ That’s what makes the play so fun and exciting … people see what we ask them to see, and it’s more real than if you had a Barbra Streisand impersonator here.” Despite the laughs, Turner said the play looks at why people are so fascinated by celebrities. “And not just from our point of view, but the pressure it puts on celebrities as well,” he said. Lagomarsino said he didn’t want anything to be literal, so set designer Erik Flatmo created sort of an “L.A.-scape,” a cool vibe so the audience can see David describing the characters. “Although this is a work of fiction, we want the audience to feel it’s actually true,” he said. u n IF YOU GO: “Buyer & Cellar,” runs April 4-May 3 at The Old Globe Theatre’s Sheryl & Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $29 at (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org

Sabzi Polo
(Persian herbal rice) This authentic Persian herbal rice dish bursts with the colors and flavors of the season, shared with you by Farnaz Amirfarzaneh of Carmel Valley.
n Ingredients: • 3 cups basmati rice • 2 bunches each of fresh parsley, cilantro, green onions and dill, chopped • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt • 3 to 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil • 6 strands of saffron (dissolved in 2 tablespoons of hot water if desired)
n Method: Rinse rice a few times in water, sprinkle with salt and soak for at least 2 hours. Bring a pot of water to boil then add rice. Once rice is half cooked use a strainer to drain. Then rinse the rice very gently. In a large saucepan, heat oil on medium temperature and start layering rice and herbs, gently mixing them. Add saffron and additional oil to the rice mixture, and allow it to steam at low temperature for about 30 minutes by covering the pot with a towel. The longer it steams the crispier the tahdigh (rice bottom crust). Noosh jan! Enjoy!

Let’s Party! Spring has sprung!
A
stream of festivals celebrating rebirth, longer days, blooming of flowers, liberation from slavery, and miracle of resurrection are heralds of the glorious spring season. Here’s a sampling of festivals throughout the lands and their gustatory offerings.
n Lamb Bam, Easter and Passover: Some traditional Easter eats include handpainted hard-boiled eggs, chocolate bunnies, marshmallow Peeps, and hot-cross buns, which were originally created by AngloSaxon ancestors who baked cakes to honor the spring goddess, Eostre. Roast lamb or glazed ham are favorites served on Easter Sunday. The versatile pig was not only considered a symbol of luck by early Christians, but the animals were slaughtered in the fall and cured for spring around Easter time, a convenient dish for the celebratory feast. Roast lamb harks back to early Passover Seders as depicted in Da Vinci’s painting, “The Last Supper.” Jews ate the sacrificial lamb along with unleavened bread or matzo and bitter herbs, praying the Angel of Death would “pass over” their homes, leaving them safe. As it was during “The Last Supper,” the Seder table must be free of chametz — taboo foods including leavening agents, flour, bread, grains and legumes. During the holiday, fresh fruits and vegetables are permitted, along with kosher fish, meat and fowl. On the two Seder nights, ritual foods are arranged on the Seder plate — the most scrumptious is the haroseth, a mixture of fruits and nuts that resembles the mortar Hebrew slaves used to build the Egyptian pyramids. n Persian Delights: The Persian New Year known as Nowruz, which translates to “new day,” has been observed for centuries in certain parts of the Middle East and Asia. This 13-day celebration of bonfires and
bountiful foods — including Sabzi polo va mahi, a dish of white fish with herbinfused rice. The fish is symbolic of abundance, the rice for rebirth, Kuku, an herb omelet that represents fertility and rebirth, and baklava for sweetness and prosperity. The Haft Sinn is a Nowruz ritual where foods that start with the Farsi letter sinn are presented at the altar to symbolize good things to come in the New Year, such as garlic for good health, vinegar for wisdom and patience, and dried fruit of an olive branch for love. n Cherry on Top: Each spring in Japan, friends pack picnic baskets and gather under cherry-blossom trees called sakura to celebrate the beauty of nature and the transition of the seasons. During Hanami or the Cherry Blossom Festival, favorite delicacies include treats like pickled cherry-blossom leaves, onigiri or seasoned rice balls filled with pickled plums or fish, chunks of fried squash called kabocha, along with assorted sweet treats like mochi, a sticky-rice cake dyed festive colors to embody the spirit of the Hanami holiday. n Holi Moly: During Hindu Holi, people of India rejoice in the arrival of spring. It is customary for celebrants to throw colored powder and water on each other, while indulging in goodies like gujhiya, a north Indian dessert of dough pockets made with whole-milk powder stuffed with nuts or dried fruits, dahi vada or fried balls of white lentils dipped in seasoned curd, and other treats prepared with chickpea or gram flour. The traditional drink of Holi called bhang lassi, blending the extracts from the buds and leaves of the cannabis plant with milk, ghee butter and spices, is a high point of the festivities. u — For more holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

to Build out or to Build up? No doubt there are numerous advantages to adding on to your home: increased living space, room for a growing family, additional sunlight, increased home value, etc. And while many times the purpose of your addition or the specific space you are dealing with will determine how and where you add on, many times you have the option – to build out or to build up? There are advantages and disadvantages to each, so before you decide what is best for your home, consider the following: Building Out The majority of home additions occur on
the first floor. Building out just makes more sense for additions to the kitchen, the living room, or is more affordable if the house is a single-story. The large pieces to this project include digging up the yard where the addition will be, installing a new foundation or slab, and opening up the existing exterior where it will link the new construction. Pros- One of the biggest advantages to building out is that it entails the least amount of disruption to your home and daily life. For the most part, the construction will take place outside your existing space. Additionally, for smaller additions, you may be able to do a bump out, which means you would not need additional foundation or slab work. Cons- The first obvious disadvantage is that you’d be losing some of your yard space, so you need to weigh this loss against the advantage of increased square-footage of your home. Secondly, you may run into zoning issues if you’re within the property
line setback, which dictates how far your home must be from your neighbor’s property. You also need to check your city’s limitations when it comes to Floor-AreaRatio rating. This sets forth what percentage of a lot can be built on. But an experienced contractor will be able to help you with all of these logistical issues. Building Up Building out, however, is not the only option. Whether you live in a one story and want to add a second level, or if you are already in a two-story home and want to expand that second floor, building up is often a viable and advantageous option. In this case, the contractor would have to expose the foundation and wall structure in order to reinforce and strengthen the existing space to be able to support the new additional weight. Pros- Gaining without losing. When you build up, you gain square-footage to your home without losing any yard space. You
also don’t have to worry about limitations like Floor-Area-Ratio and property line setbacks. Cons- As you can imagine, there is generally a lot more invasive construction involved with building up. Walls and ceilings have to be torn up to add more structural support as well as to connect all the appropriate electrical, plumbing and heating lines. If you’re adding a second story to an existing single-story home, then you also have to account for the stairwell which can take up to 120 square feet or more of your living space. Lastly, you may run into issues with high allowance. You’ll need to check your city’s ordinances. As you can see, there is no one right answer. Each house will have it’s own unique set of benefits and limitations. Whether you’re considering building out or building up, to discuss your home addition with experienced professionals, please visit us at http://murfeyconstruction.com.

From 10 Questions, B1 Who/what inspires you? Music … truth … love … People who fight to make the world a better place. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? It would be more than eight! My dinner party would include all the members of my amazing family of the last 350 years. I would love for my son to meet my great grandfather, and my grandchildren to meet their great, great, great aunts and uncles — especially the aunt who was captured by Native Americans and helped save John Alden. It would be a candlelight, sitdown dinner on the beach with mariachis playing. What are your five favorite movies? “Giant,” “Auntie Mame,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “The Man Who Came to Dinner” and “E.T. the ExtraTerrestrial.” What is it that you most dislike? Fake and phony people, people who lie, people who mess with Mother Nature. Monsanto. People who do not realize the planet is our responsibility. I also dislike cell phones and computers. What is your mostprized possession? I do not believe we really possess anything, so my favorite things would be my shell, crystal and stone
collection, and my music collection, especially a song written for me by Jimi Hendrix. What is your motto or philosophy of life? We are all one! Wherever we are, we share one air, one water, one love! Be
generous, fair and kind to all who live here! The planet is ours to save or lose. It is our responsibility and I believe our choice.
I do not like the word never, but I would say a pair of rainbow velvet airbrushed pants that were made for me in the 1960s.
What clothing item in your closet will you never part with?
What would be your dream vacation? To be in La Jolla in 1923. u

From Time To Refire, B1 “Our book urges those in their 50s, 60s and beyond to view each day as an opportunity to enhance their relationships, stimulate their minds, revitalize their bodies and grow spiritually.” The audience, which filled the hall to near capacity, was composed almost exclusively of older adults. Two seniors, who might have already read the book, rode scooters into the lecture hall in an age-defying gesture! The discussion unfolded into a wonderful and inspiring presentation, which both uplifted and brought tears to many eyes. The authors explained “Refire! Don’t Retire” was conceived during a four-hour plane trip from San Diego to New York, which serendipitously brought Blanchard and Shaevitz together. The result is a manual for approaching later life. The authors look at Refiring from four vantage points — the heart, the head, the body and the spirit. In their book, the experiences of several older adult couples trying to come to grips with the Refire! Approach, are used to illustrate the main points.
1) The Heart The first key to Refiring is to work on the heart and emotions to improve and enhance relationships. The authors say to “look for the pearl of good that exists in everyone,” and “begin loving people even when they are doing unlovable things.” Further, they advise one not keep score or hold grudges, but forgive. They put forth the reminder that our dogs never get mad even if we are late, but are always happy to see us. The authors further recommend focusing on positive things or what is right, rather than what is wrong, and to develop a plan for making the world a better place. They suggest always being open to new experiences — to reach out, force yourself to stretch, break old patterns, and put yourself into totally unfamiliar situations (aka the “Nothing Ordinary Rule.”)
To this end, they advise taking classes in unfamiliar subjects or turning your work skills into some kind of advising or mentoring project, focusing on “significance” rather than “success.” They urge you to be a voracious reader and become familiar with all the new technology, such as texting, e-mail, Facebook and Twitter, to better communicate with children, friends and relatives.
3) The Body
Morton Shaevitz, Ken Blanchard and Mary Walshok discuss new models of aging at a UCSD forum. Courtesy They advocate being part of a “Last Minute Gang,” which does new and different things together, even if at the last moment. To succeed, they said to set or remember your Refiring goals every morning and evaluate how well you did that day, every night.
2) The Head The second step to Refiring the whole person is to Refire the head (the mind, the intellect). The key here is to always keep learning. Even if you are 100 years old, they argue, you should still be learning every day. “Growing intellectually is like oxygen to the deep-sea diver: without it you die,” noted Shaevitz. “If you are not continuing to learn, you might as well lie down and let them throw dirt on you, because you are already brain dead.”
For Refiring the body, Blanchard and Shaevitz focus on diet and exercise. They recommend eating mindfully, not mindlessly. They say to eat less, but better, and not to do anything dumb — like eating a whole pizza. They suggest losing a little weight, if needed. Shaevitz said, “My research has shown that less than 20 percent of people over age 65 do any exercise at all.” He recommends the “minimally effective dose,” which is walking 30-45 minutes a day, five or six days a week. In addition to the cardiovascular benefits of walking, the authors recommend flexibility training, as in yoga or stretching; strength training, as in lifting weights; and balance training, as in standing on one leg.
4) The Spirit The fourth dimension of Refiring involves working on your spirit. The authors suggest finding a way of getting in touch with the marvelous mystery that we, as thinking, caring humans are, and the wonder of life that is all around us. Rather than focusing on what’s wrong or your inadequacies, Blanchard and Shaevitz say it’s important to count your blessings and look for pathways to inner peace. How so? Focus more on giving than getting.

A. KLINE. A Petition for Probate has been filed by HENRY M. KLINE JR. in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that HENRY M. KLINE JR. be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 4/23/15 Time: 1:30 P.M.

Zimmerman’s proficiency with staging fables, myths and ancient tales is why “The White Snake” resonates with audience members from beginning to end. Costumed musicians who take their place before the stage lead off this joyous journey. High on a mountaintop, two kindred spirits have had enough of their boring lifestyle and commands from Fa Hai, the wicked holy man. Having studied ancient traditions, the two have the ability to transform themselves from snakes into women, which makes White Snake (Amy Kim Waschke) and Green Snake (Tanya Thai McBride) ready to seek an adventure. They talk about listening to music, socializing with people and maybe even falling in love, as they make their way down the mountain. The exquisite set changes from designer Daniel Ostling include transporting the
women through a stage-sized cloth that represents the clouds they fly through. Arriving at their destination they find a world full of color, beautiful costumes, Chinese paintings and lanterns. In no time at all White Snake has her eye on Xu Xian (Jon Norman Schneider), a pharmacy assistant who lives with his sister and brother-in-law. White Snake enlists the help of her sidekick, Green Snake, to entice Xu Xian to visit their home where they can work their magic on him to fall for White Snake. While the story and acting is enticing, it’s the visuals that enthrall throughout the night — the scene changes are effortless and exquisite. McBride and Waschke nail their characters. Waschke is the loving and cautious wife who tries not to expose her “other” side. McBride is zany and hilarious with an “I Love Lucy” wackiness that is eager to please. At the same time, both women must be puppeteers for their snake sides, which they control using sticks. Schneider is adorable as the naïve and easily led suitor. Matt Decaro’s Fa Hai, is definitely a wicked soul to fear.
Jon Norman Schneider and Amy Kim Waschke star in ‘The White Snake,’ written and directed by Mary Zimmerman, now playing at The Old Globe Theatre. T. Charles Erickson “The White Snake,” celebrated as one of China’s Four Great Folktales, may soon become one America’s favorites alongside “Cinderella” and “Snow White.” No one will leave this show disappointed. u
n IF YOU GO: “The White Snake” runs matinees, evenings through April 26 at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $29 at (619) 234-5623 or theoldglobe.org

Pacific Sotheby’s real estate team sells Wallace Cunningham’s Ray House for $4.3 million
P
acific Sotheby’s International La Jolla real estate agents Amber Anderson and Brandon White have sold many luxury homes the last couple of years, but none have presented the challenges of 724 Muirlands Vista Way. This shining example of contemporary architectural ingenuity, which features an open floor plan and towering glass walls, was equal part home and piece of art. “We knew creativity was going to be a key to our success in selling a property with so much character,” said Anderson. She and White began to formulate a marketing plan like no other. The level of exposure the home received both online and in print was unparalleled. “Cultivating relationships with brand partners is equally important, as we experienced with Architectural Digest, The Wall St. Journal and Luxury Properties (the largest Asian Real Estate Publication),” White said. With feature editorials in each publication, the cliché of “who you know” rang true. The benefit of high-level
connections was only a small portion of the tailored marketing plan. With its pervasive grip on modern culture, video has revolutionized the way media is consumed. Anderson and White recognized this trend early, and have used the medium as a focal point for the luxury homes they sell. Sotheby’s International Realty’s chief marketing officer Wendy Purvey said, “Today’s consumers are looking to gather information through video because it offers a unique, immersive experience. Video enables us to truly showcase the intangible lifestyle a property offers, opening the door to their potential next home, no matter where in the world it is located.” Through the Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty brand initiative to increase video exposure of luxury properties coupled with Anderson and White’s creative digital promotion efforts, they’re ready for any luxury home. Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty is at 7855 Ivanhoe Ave., Suite 100, La Jolla. (858) 926-3060. pacificsothebysrealty.com u — From Pacific Sotheby Reports
