YMCA begins work on new fitness center in its historic home By Pat Sherman A $1.7 million remodel and partial restoration of the building housing YMCA Firehouse on Herschel Avenue is set to break ground this week, and be ready for a grand re-opening in November. The 1937 Works Project Administration building — home to La Jolla’s Fire Station 13 until 1976 — will be reconfigured to open up more of its interior space for members and guests, while restoring the façade to its original appearance. “It’s a very dysfunctional floor plan right now,” said YMCA regional vicepresident Sue Ball of the 6,000-square-foot building, a satellite of La Jolla YMCA, noting it was last remodeled in the 1980s. “When it’s done (and rechristened Shepherd YMCA Firehouse) it’ll be a modern, up-to-date facility that will serve the people of the Village better.” A large, roll-up garage Project manager Lucas Walls of CREW door like one originally Builders and YMCA regional vicefronting Fire Station 13 president Sue Ball review plans for will replace a series of YMCA Firehouse’s remodel. smaller windows in the Y’s spacious, main hall, which once housed fire engines. “We’ll keep that door up, weather permitting, most days of the year,” Ball said. “It will be very indoorsy-outdoorsy.” A mezzanine will be added to the main hall, creating additional space for state-of-the-art cardio and strength-training equipment, while an elevator near the front entrance will be relocated to the rear of the building, in what was formerly a tall shaft used to house fire hoses, said project architect and historic preservationist F.H. “Trip” Bennett.

Community shows outpouring of support for homeless woman By Pat Sherman A crowdfunding campaign created to find permanent housing for an intersex woman, Shauna Smith, who has been on the streets of La Jolla for more than eight years has received an array of both financial and emotional support from the community. In one week, the women of Soul Wise Coaching have raised more than $7,000 of their $10,000 goal to find “Shelter for Shuana,” including three months at a hotel and first and last month’s rent as deposit on an apartment. More than 80 donations ranging from $10 to $1,000 poured in since a story about their initiative ran in the May 28 edition of La Jolla Light (which can be found at lajollalight.com). Others, such as Bird Rock residents Arielle Ford and Brian Hilliard, donated kitchen utensils, bathroom items and bedding for Shauna’s future apartment, while lead organizer Kirsten Harrison-Jack reported some children were donating their allowances to help Shauna find a home. An angel investor has also stepped forward, proposing a larger donation of seed money to support Shauna and Soul Wise’s future initiatives to help women facing a variety of life transitions, she said. Donor comments on Shauna’s page — gofundme.com/ shelterforshauna — pay homage to both Shauna’s positive outlook and lively outfits, as well as her affinity for basketball and other sports as both Shauna and Sean, her birth name and identity until making her transition last year. “I love seeing Shauna about the Village. Her cheerfulness and colorful clothing and wigs always brighten my day,” one donor posted, while another wrote, “I am a fan of Shauna. I run into her almost every time I take my children to tennis. She is always happy and so nice. I hope that she gets the help she needs.” (Due to her random vocal outbursts, caused by mental distress, not everyone is a fan, see Letters, page A18.) Another donor recalled knowing Shauna (as Sean) from the La Jolla Rec Center basketball

Above: Kirsten Harrison-Jack (left) collects household items for Shauna donated by Bird Rock residents Brian Hilliard and Arielle Ford. Photos by Pat Sherman courts. “You were and are always a positive guy! Keep up the good work with the kids and locals.” Speaking with La Jolla Light from her hotel room Monday, Shauna said she was “overwhelmed” by the support of La Jollans and others, adding she has received a tentative offer from a local school to do some substitute basketball coaching in the fall. “Life has been wonderful the past five days — I can’t say it enough, just knowing I’m going to have a home soon has been such a relief … not even thinking about being outside anymore, wondering what will happen today or tomorrow,”

Shauna said. “I look at today as the best day of my life. It’s a new beginning and I don’t want to even look back.” Kirsten-Jack added, “The whole beauty of this story is the fact that La Jollans really adore Shauna. … The community’s actually saying, ‘You brighten up our community. You make it happier.’ While there’s been so much prejudice in the past for so many reasons, it’s so nice that people are willing to kind of stretch the boundaries of their understanding and be more tolerant and compassionate. ... As Shauna evolves, the community evolves as well.” u n Read more at: bit.ly/ShelterShauna

Toastmasters of La Jolla

Club sees record membership, speaker awards I

Toastmasters of La Jolla members gather for a photo — Joshua Rutherford, Sandeep Ponnuru, Melanie Klinghoffer, Prabhu Kandasamy, Alexandra Smiley, Annie Winners, Anthony Pascale, Renee Greenwood, Sherryl Santos, Vijay Tolani and Christy Gonzalez Courtesy Photos

By Ashley Mackin t’s been a busy year for Toastmasters of La Jolla, the local branch of the organization aimed at improving public speaking skills. Starting in June 2014, the club experienced a leap in membership — jumping from 18 members to 57 — and some existing members took their communication skills to new heights. Take for example, Joshua Rutherford, the group’s vicepresident of membership, who recently published his first book. Or Prabhu Kandasamy, who is prepping a speech for an international competition. “Our growth has been tremendous,” said Toastmasters president Melanie Klinghoffer. “We have people from all over the world as members, speaking publicly at different levels from novice to advanced. We also offer a mentorship program that allows new members to work with seasoned members on their first speaking experience. We believe you rise in leadership when you help lift others.” The club uses structured weekly meetings and exercises to address various communication skills. Members provide feedback in the “sandwich method,” offering something good about the speech, followed by a way to improve it, topped off by another something good. Klinghoffer added that oftentimes in the workplace, there aren’t opportunities to get that training or encouragement without repercussion. “Your livelihood and salary are tied to workplace performance and there’s a lot of pressure,” she said. “When it comes to Toastmasters, you get to work on skills at your own pace and in your own way. We look at how to practice a speech, how to speak in an advanced manner, and how to be a charming leader.”

The approach worked for Rutherford and Kandasamy. For Rutherford, his confidence level on day one at Toastmasters to the present is “night and day,” he said. “I remember my very first speech and I was incredibly nervous. I held it together, but I was shaking inside. Since that time, I’ve given countless speeches in front of people. My enunciation has greatly improved, and overall, I feel very comfortable speaking in front of an audience today.” Participating in Toastmasters also inspired Rutherford in a surprising way. “A lot of people wouldn’t associate joining a public speaking group with improving one’s writing ability, but I found it had a very positive effect on that. Toastmasters got me focused on dialogue: the way people speak, what they say and how they say it,” he said. In the acknowledgment section of his self-published fiction, “Sons of Chenia,” he thanks Toastmasters of La Jolla for its help and support. In his professional life, the Human Resources worker said he has learned to speak to people with confidence and handle situations calmly. For Kandasamy, participating in Toastmasters helped hone his skills so he could share his inspirational story — living with polio — in a way that reaches the broadest audience. At the urging of his now-wife, he looked into becoming a motivational speaker, and started with Toastmasters. Born healthy in India, Kandasamy said he contracted polio when he was 18 months old, but at early onset with seizures and a fever, doctors had no idea what was wrong with him. “When a doctor finally checked my legs, they did a test with a hammer where they tap your leg with increased intensity to see what you feel, I didn’t react to any of it,” he said. “They realized I was paralyzed.” He spent the next three years in physical therapy and in hospitals, getting to the point where he could walk without support. It wasn’t until he started school and saw how other children walked and ran that he knew he was different. “Every time people would look at me, they would have pity in their eyes,” Kandasamy said. “It was hurtful. I thought ‘there is no need to pity me, I’m fine and I am

happy with who I am.’ ” During his teen years, he learned self-sufficiency and how to pick himself up when he would fall — literally and figuratively. “We all have challenges in life. If you have courage and confidence to face life, face these challenges, you will get through it,” Kandasamy said. With his story prepared, all he needed were the skills to convey his message. “When I gave my first speech, I thought it was spectacular. Then I got feedback that offered me a different perspective and another way to structure my speeches,” Kandasamy said, especially for an American audience. For example, when he spoke about his time in “hostel” he didn’t know the American term was “boarding school.” “I also used to use a lot of filler words such as ‘um’ and ‘uh,’ but I became aware of that in Toastmasters,” he said. As his speeches improved, he decided to enter local competitions. He quickly made his way up to the division and district levels (District 5, which covers San Diego, spans all the way to Arizona), before qualifying for the Toastmasters International Semifinals and World Championship of Public Speaking. The World Championship is held in August in Las Vegas. Setting his own success aside, Kandasamy said he enjoys hearing the stories of others. “When you go to a Toastmasters meeting, you hear some amazing stories and learn incredible new things that people are passionate about. We don’t judge each other, and that provides a beautiful environment for sharing our stories,” he said. That lack of judgment, Klinghoffer said, contributes to the “tremendous amount of camaraderie” within the club. “In addition to the education component, there is the support of a group of people who are truly cheering you on. They want to see you succeed,” she said. u n Want to join? Although there is a waiting list for the La Jolla chapter, Klinghoffer suggests those who want to join a club find another meeting nearby. There’s a list of clubs at toastmasters.org

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS ‘Big Bang’ and ‘Blossom’ star stops by UCSD

C San Diego hosted “An Evening with Mayim Bialik” on May 27 at RIMAC Arena where the TV star known for her roles in the series “The Big Bang Theory” and “Blossom,” which aired 1990-1995, addressed students, faculty staff and alumni. Bialik, who was born in San Diego, began her acting career at age 12. One of her first roles was playing a young Bette Midler in the 1988 film “Beaches.” She later went on to pursue neuroscience at UCLA where she earned a Ph.D. in 2007. On CBS-TV’s “The Big Bang Theory,” Bialik plays neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler, a role for which she has received one Screen Actors Guild nomination and two Emmy nominations. At the event sponsored by UCSD’s Sixth College, she shared her life’s journey and signed her new cookbook.

He said it was “a huge job — probably the biggest show I’ve worked.” He also helped prep the band’s dressing rooms. “Mick Jagger’s dressing room was the entire visiting ball club’s locker room,” he said, noting that lockers and walls had to be obscured from view with black draping. He also helped place loveseats, couches and coffee tables in the dressing rooms. “It was pretty nice,” Halloran said. “Mick Jagger had one of those seats like you’d sit in if you were going to go see a shrink or a therapist. They had code names for each of the rooms. … Someone said, ‘OK, let’s go into the X-ray,’ which was the code for Keith

Richard’s room.”

Sherri Lightner, Surfrider urge area restaurants to reduce trash and waste Surfrider Foundation San Diego along with City Council President Sherri Lightner urge area restaurants to reduce their trash output via Surfrider’s new “Ocean Friendly Restaurants” campaign. The goal is to reduce beach pollution by having restaurants voluntarily decrease the use of plastic food service items, such as Styrofoam containers, plastic bags and

disposable cups and utensils. “Disposable plastic food-service items made up nearly half of all garbage picked up by Surfrider and Coastkeeper in 2014 during organized beach cleanup efforts,” said Jason Rubin, co-chair of Surfrider’s Rise Above Plastics Committee. During a May 20 campaign kickoff at Wonderland Pub in Ocean Beach, Lightner encouraged restaurants to sign on to the program, which rewards those that voluntarily agree to help decrease beach and ocean pollution. Restaurants that adopt the ocean-friendly requirements are eligible for marketing and promotional support from Surfrider.

From Advisory GroupS, A1 n Planning Association: A plea for ‘Clean Elections’ heard During the May 7 meeting of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), John Malugen of San Diegans for Clean Elections discussed his group’s goal to get an initiative on San Diego’s November 2016 ballot that would provide a voluntary system of public campaign financing aimed at curbing “the power of special interests at City Hall.” “The idea of our initiative is to provide (candidates with less money or name recognition) a certain amount of money to run a credible campaign,” he said, noting the contribution would be about $6 per year. “There is another election that goes on before the real election, and that is when the candidates go around and scrounge for money, and the big money donors determine who you’re going to choose from,” Malugen said. “We feel that a candidate who is funded by the public will be more responsive to the public, specifically to the neighborhoods, and to the planning groups.” sdcleanelections.org The LJCPA advises the City of San Diego and other government entities on proposed development and infrastructure projects in La Jolla. lajollacpa.org n Permit Review Group: PDO deviation up for discussion During the May 19 meeting of the Development Permit Review (DPR) group (a subcommittee of the LJCPA) trustees discussed a deviation sought by owners of the building at 1111 Prospect St. (at Herschel

The owner, PHP Management, came before the DPR in April, seeking to increase the amount of office space they are allowed per La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO) document, or blueprint for design, due to difficulty leasing retail space on the building’s ground floor. PHP initially sought a deviation from the PDO to allow 50 percent office use on the ground floor of its building, where a maximum of 25 percent is otherwise allowed. During the DPR’s May 19 meeting, the applicant requested a deviation for slightly less ground floor office space — 44 percent — although the DPR ultimately voted to recommend 35 percent be approved. “They prefer to keep the retail, but … at least for some time in the future, both the building and the community are far better off with something in the building rather than a vacant space,” DPR chair Paul Benton said.

Animal lovers gather to support adoption program and its founders By Pat Sherman he second Paws & Pints fundraiser to support Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) was held at La Jolla Brewing Co. May 28, in honor of the organization’s late founders, Peggy Howell and Sue Geller, both of La Jolla. The event was hosted by La Jolla Veterinary Hospital, in concert with Rancho Coastal Humane Society (which today administers the FOCAS animal rescue and adoption program). It included live and silent auctions, plus a raffle, and La Jolla Brewing Co. donated 10 percent of proceeds from food and beverage sales that evening to FOCAS. “My mom was a true activist and ahead of her time — 40 years ago nobody had even heard of animal rescue,” said Peggy Howell’s daughter, Susan Howell Mallory, who drove down from Los Angeles for the event. When FOCAS was founded in 1982, also with the assistance of Sue Blevins of the San Diego Department of Animal Control, most animals dropped off at the “county pound” — even healthy, seemingly adoptable

animals — were euthanized, Susan said. Howell and Geller would take cats and dogs home, then call their friends to serve as foster owners until they could find permanent homes for the animals. Peggy Howell’s other daughter, La Jollan Ruth Howell, said her mother also took in older dogs that were less likely to be adopted. “At one time she had 13 of them at our house,” Ruth said, noting that both she and her sister have carried on their mother’s legacy of rescuing older dogs from shelters that nobody wants (Susan specifically takes in animals whose owners have passed away). “They were committed to make this work,” Susan said of her mother and Geller. “The two of them really were on the forefront of animal rescue.” Stephanie Coolidge of La Jolla Veterinary Hospital said FOCAS was one of only three animal welfare organizations in San Diego when it was started. Today, there are more than 300 such agencies, she said. u n Want to know more? Visit focas-sandiego.org

the venue closes? what if the prices go up? — but if you have the show on a street, that street will always be there,” she said. “Plus, we wanted to create an experience unique to Fashion Week San Diego. La Jolla is beautiful, and it’s a geographical middleground for those who have come to past events and those that come from out of town; it was a natural fit for us.” Looking to the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York when it was held in Bryant Park (before it moved to the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts in 2010) Andrews said she wants San Diego’s event to have a similar effect. “When the tents would go up in the park, that signaled the start of Fashion Week,” she said. “We want that feeling here, so when the fences go up on Wall Street, La Jollans know its Fashion Week. I believe this will be a signature event that La Jollans will look forward to every year.” Spectacle aside, Andrews said the quality of designers that show at Fashion Week San Diego helped the event “earn its stripes” in the industry. “I’m very proud of the fact that in such a short time, Fashion Week San Diego has become a place to find the next great designer talent,” she said. One such example, Scott Rich, received national attention for an outfit he made for this year’s Fashion Week San Diego preview event. After showing the new outfit,

By Ashley Mackin ith the stamp of approval from La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (T&T) advisory group for the required street closures, Fashion Week San Diego will move its signature event to La Jolla this year. The two-night fashion show will convert Wall Street between Herschel Street and Girard Avenue into a giant runway, October 2-3. “It’s an experience you can’t have anywhere else,” said Fashion Week San Diego founder and director Allison Andrews. “Imagine being the first to see these designers up close and personal at the beginning of their careers. There is something so special about that experience.” Previously held downtown and at Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier, the fashion event presents the collections of 12 designers each night. Andrews said approximately 30 percent of the audience are industry representatives from magazines like Vogue and InStyle, and department stores such as Bloomingdales and Nordstrom. As Fashion Week San Diego grew in popularity over the last three years (the event started in 2012), Andrews said organizers were looking for a “forever home” for the event. “We’ve worked in venues, but with venues there are a lot of ‘what ifs’ — what if

Rich loaned it to a friend who was attending the Coachella Music Festival. The outfit was photographed and written about on designer/stylist Rachel Zoe’s online Zoe Report and a photo of the outfit was posted on the New York Times’ Fashion Section’s Instagram account. Two other new faces on the San Diego fashion scene are La Jolla residents Annaiah Jones and Charlie Yip. Both will have designs in the Fashion Week San Diego runway show for the first time this year. “I feel fabulous because it’s such a wonderful opportunity,” Jones said. “I was so thrilled they liked my pieces.” Having only shown her Dynamite Doll clothing line through occasional appearances at fashion events and social media, Jones said she looks forward to showing on a runway — and a local one to boot. Jones’ pieces use fabrics in “bright, glistening, happy colors,” and are cut with clean lines with a bit of quirkiness, such as her glitter skirt collection of skirts over puffy tulle with streaks of shimmery material throughout. “Whenever I get fabric, I want colors that make people happy. I’m always trying to bring lightness to people,” she said. “I made a skirt for a friend’s daughter and when she put it on, she started dancing and twirling. That’s what I want. It’s a beautiful thing for people to be able to express themselves. If my clothes can do that, I’m a happy camper.” She moved to San Diego in 2008 from Chattanooga, Tennessee where her creativity “hit a ceiling.” She came to La Jolla to visit a friend and became inspired. “I was here for 10 days and in that time I

exciting,” he said. Yip’s design career started when he wanted to give his father a nice wallet for Father’s Day last year. “It was hard for me to find something I liked and then to buy something that felt sentimental. I decided to make the wallet and went to a leather store for the raw materials,” he said. The wallet, Yip admitted, “didn’t work” (the measurements were wrong and it couldn’t fit credit cards) but it lit the spark for Yip to start creating. “I fell in love with designing and working with my hands,” he said. He set up a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for more materials. His handmade leather products are “minimal and really about form and function in a very modern way,” he said. “Leather-craft is a traditional form of art, but I want to take what I perceive traditional art to be and make it modern through my pieces. There’s a lot of black and white, and natural leather tones.” The San Francisco native said his pieces help modernize and complement La Jolla’s fashion sense, which he described as “conservative and classy mixed with lots of beachwear and lots of color.” For those who see designs that “speak to them,” Andrews said there is the opportunity to purchase the pieces at the trunk show following the runway shows. “When you get to see something or someone before they make it big, it enhances your life — and it makes you proud to see it happen in your own neighborhood,” she said. “It’s wildly entertaining.” u n On the Web: fashionweeksd.com

architecture — snapping photos to represent what they learned. Each student contributed at least three photos (one from each area of study) to a collective exhibit unveiled May 26 at the La Jolla Riford Library, which will remain on view through the summer. “As part of Outside the Lens’ mission to empower youth through digital photography, Innovation InSight embraced the artistic side of science,” Eagleson said. “Week-by-week and month-by-month, it’s been incredible to see students’ voices and perspectives finetuned and brought to life.” Through weekend workshops and in-school programs, OTL teaches photographic skills and techniques to promote digital media literacy.

PATHFINDER PARTNERS

The field trips focused on the various careers in marine sciences and biotechnology, but also examined the architecture of La Jolla landmarks. For some, the latter was the most inspiring. Student Ian Marcus, whose father teaches ceramics at La Jolla High School, said examining the intention of a building influenced his work. “We got to look at the message (architects) wanted to convey with their projects. These buildings are more than just four walls. It’s not just about the building’s function, but the inspiration behind it,” Marcus said. “I looked for the inspiration and figured out how to get that same message into a photo.” He used a layering technique he learned at

OTL and several pictures taken in one spot to convey his message in a photo he submitted in the biotechnology category. Drawing on the lessons in point-of-view she learned at OTL, student Stella Wineman showed two photos from opposing points of view — one from a balcony shooting down, the other from sitting on the ground and pointing up. “I really enjoyed taking pictures at the Salk Institute — all of the architecture was really natural and you could tell that’s what they were going for,” Stella said. Other students drew upon the vibrant colors found in nature for inspiration. “When we studied marine science, that was my favorite part. I learned a lot about

I like to give nature credit.” Yorgin’s photo of an orange fish swimming through a sea plant against bright blue water says it all. Muirlands principal Harlan Klein attended the exhibit opening to check out the finished products. “It’s really impressive how creative these students are and when given the freedom, they produced really high quality work. They should be really proud of their accomplishments. It’s all so creative, but it’s creativity with a sense of intention,” he said. Beyond the still photos, some students produced videos using techniques in pointof-view and stop-motion animation. A highlight was a stop-motion animation film that showed students “building” a cell using gelatin and candy to represent the parts of a

The historic fountain on the patio in front of the church was converted to a low bubbling water feature.

St. James Episcopal Church is landscaping to save water By St. James’ Landscape Committee he Landscape Committee at St. James Bythe-Sea has been conscientiously addressing the drought situation for the past several years. At this time, we are pleased to announce that the renovation of the landscaping on church grounds to minimize water use is in its final stages. The front lawn and mow strips outside the adjacent historic cobble wall have been replanted with Tif Green Sports Turf Bermuda grass sod. This type of grass grows very slowly and requires much less water than other grasses typically used in our area. We also installed a new irrigation system with MP Rotators, which feature a multi-trajectory rotating stream delivery system that achieves water-conserving results. MP Rotators deliver multiple streams of water at a slow, steady rate. This slower application rate allows water to gently soak into the soil and achieves an even

This increased efficiency results in 30 percent less water use when compared to traditional sprays and significantly reduces wasteful runoff. Our “Landscaping to Save Water” plan also included replacing the turf in the curb strips around the church with decomposed granite so those areas will no longer require irrigation. Unlike concrete, decomposed granite is porous and allows rain water to drain through to the roots of trees below rather than into street, and from there, into storm drains. We have almost completed replacing the irrigation systems in our gardens with water conserving types. Our grounds are minimally planted with drought tolerant specimens and the areas at the base of the trees, in the garden beds and pots, have a thick layer of mulch to

Other side of Shauna story missing from report I couldn’t help but notice the extremely misleading fluff piece, “Shelter For Shauna,” in the May 28 issue. This is the same unpredictably hostile individual who patrols Pearl and Fay streets during daylight hours. As a longtime Village resident, I witness (almost daily) this person screaming obscenities at both passerbys and vehicles, in front of everyone from small children to the elderly. I’ve witnessed this individual threaten to harm people at random, more times than I care to count. We live in arguably the most beautiful neighborhood in the country, yet the peaceful serenity is shattered once you hear the shopping-cart wheels coming and you realize the inevitable curse-laden tirade isn’t far behind. I’ll abstain from commenting further on the fundraising effort at hand since the end result will satisfy the Soul Wise Coaching folks as much as it will me: a threatening presence off of our streets. But how dare you author such an incomplete description making us feel like we owe something to this “victim”? If Hitler were still around, some people would start a GoFundMe site to encourage him and La Jolla Light would write a glowing review of his artwork. James DiCiocco

Commentary in its May 28 edition, “Historical Society endorses Art Museum, Music Society plans.” Heath Fox, the executive director of the La Jolla Historical Society, and its board of directors approved, with a thorough understanding, the plans for expansion of the La Jolla Music Society and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD). Each will bring excellent architectural structures and a park next to the museum that will provide a delightful view of the ocean. In terms of the MCASD, the expansion will allow exhibition of its “prestigious collection,” which will have dramatic and meaningful growth in the future. And the Music Society, with its expansion of the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, will yield a superb facility for the excellent programs it provides. These two institutions will be centers for enriching culture for the citizens of La Jolla and San Diego, the equivalent of the finest in the state of California.

conserve moisture in the soil there. The historic fountain on the patio in front of the church was converted to a low bubbling water feature so no water is lost by evaporation when sprayed up into the air or when the cohesive water column is subject to prevailing winds. The fountain pump recycles the water within the fountain and is controlled by a timer so it is on only a few hours each day. When the fountain is drained for cleaning once a month, a hose is attached and the end is put at the base of the nearby magnolia tree to provide deep water to its roots. We are very happy to have the opportunity to care for the grounds of our beautiful historic church in the center of the La Jolla Cultural District at 743 Prospect St. We hope the members of our community and visitors from afar who have enjoyed a visit here over the past 106 years will continue to do so for many more. u

OPINION

Shores neighborhood is not the lovely place it used to be

I’ve been a resident of the “Jewel” since 1963. At that time it was a Village of friendly people who cared about each other and the environment. As a business owner in La Jolla Shores (for 35 years) I was a member of the La Jolla Shores Association and participated in resolving many community issues. I’ve owned my property on La Jolla Shores Drive since 1974. Much love and financial effort has gone into making this my home, but it is becoming more and more difficult to live here. The vicinity around UCSD has contributed an abundance of traffic — something that can’t be changed, so it seems, at this time. However, what could be addressed more aggressively is the speeding and excessive noise. There is a sign at the corner of La Jolla Farms Road and La Jolla Shores Drive that indicates “Pedestrian Crossing.” Cars, for the most part, travel above the posted speed limit at 5060 miles per hour in either direction. Although there is a double yellow line, U-turns are constant and my driveway is used to make turns, day and night.

In many cases, the properties are slumlord rentals to students, who leave their trashcans out all week. The city establishes rules, which are never enforced. Two properties nearby are student party houses. More than 100 people gather there at least once a month with loud music and screaming. Police have made several visits there, to no avail. Nearby a Eucalyptus tree sheds leaves and huge junks of trunk, in immediate danger of falling over the street and on our houses. Trash — like plastic bottles, soda cans and paper — are part of the daily scenery. One corner house is an eyesore with droppings from banana trees and overgrown vegetation covering the sidewalk. Via Capri and Torrey Pines Road have speed indicators, but La Jolla Shores Drive (once called “Scenic Route”) does not seem to qualify, although the traffic is not less than on Torrey Pines Road. u Isabella Miram, CTC n Letters to the Editor for publication should be 250 words or less, and sent by e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com and must include the full name of the sender, city of residence and phone number for verification.

Rosalba Sherman 1931 – 2015

On May 19, 2015, Rosalba passed away from natural causes in Murrieta, CA. Her final days were spent around loving family. Rosalba was born on October 13, 1931, in Toluca, Mexico, and was a longtime resident of La Jolla, CA. Rosalba was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, sister and daughter. She worked in several high-end La Jolla department stores for over 30 years. Since her retirement over a decade ago she discovered a love for visiting local casinos and spending lots of time with family. Rosalba was a surprisingly great cook. This was a surprise to us all because her husband, Nate, was the cook in the family and nobody knew she could cook until after his death. She was an avid fan of the San Diego Chargers and Padres. Rosalba is survived by her daughter, Maria; grandchildren, David, Jessica, Martyn and Natalie; as well as six greatgrandchildren. Services will be held on Monday, June 29, 2015, at 10AM at Mary Star of the

Lois S. Roon 1924 – 2015

Lois S. Roon, age 91, died of natural causes on May 16, 2015, in her home with her three children in attendance. Born on April 12, 1924, in Iron Mountain, MI, she lived there through high school before attending Rollins College where she was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Lois went on to be certified at Catherine Gibbs Secretarial School and moved to New York City where she became personal secretary to the Publisher of the New York Times, Mr. Arthur H. Sulzberger, beginning in 1948. Soon thereafter Lois met Donald Roon, also of New York. They were married in 1950 and remained so for 52 years until his passing due to Parkinson’s disease in 2002. Lois and Don moved to Olean, NY, some 90 miles south of Buffalo in 1955 due to Don’s new

business. Their three children, Steve, Susan and Chris, were raised in Olean where the family resided for 19 years. While in Olean, Lois became President of Olean Hospital Auxiliary and President of the Cattaraugus County chapter for the New York Association for Aid to the Blind as well as a member of other local charities. Upon Don’s retirement from business, Lois and Don moved to San Diego in 1974 and years later to La Jolla to escape cold winters and live closer to Don’s parents, Ann and Leo Roon of La Jolla. During much of this time until 1999, Lois and her husband spent winter months in Key Largo, FL, where they cruised the Bahamas and indulged Don’s love for offshore fishing. While in San Diego and La Jolla, Lois and her husband were involved in a wide range of philanthropic activities. Lois served as President, as well as Life Trustee, of the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA), Trustee of the Timken Museum, Founding member of ARCS Foundation, and charter member of the Patrons of the Prado. Lois is survived by three children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Alan David Sapowith 1925 – 2015

Alan David Sapowith was born on February 20, 1925, and passed away on May 20, 2015. He was born in Delaware, the son of Reba and Harry Sapowith.

But for short stints in the Air Force and a family business, Alan’s career spanned over 30 years in the aerospace industry. A graduate of West Point with a master’s degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University, he managed multi-disciplined R & D programs in a number of fields ranging from nuclear weapons effects to stealth, contributing papers and creative designs in many of them. He had a passion for tennis, skiing, bridge and politics and in his younger years white water canoeing. He will be missed and remembered for his satire and wit, his great sense of humor, his strong moral values and his dazzling smile. Alan is survived by his loving wife, Carolyn Blumenthal; one son, Mark; three daughters, Andrea, Amy and Lisa; two stepchildren, Robin and Bill; four grandsons, Heath, Taylor, Brett and Mathew; two granddaughters, Emma and Annelies; one great-grandson, Rainen; and two greatgranddaughters, Layla and Lauren.

Judith Miller George 1935 – 2015

Judith Miller George, 80, died peacefully on May 25, 2015, at home in La Jolla, CA, surrounded by her family and supported by her many friends. Judith was born on February 1, 1935, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Arthur A. and Eleanor (Fletcher) Miller. She grew up primarily in Chicago, Illinois, and was graduated from the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Chicago in 1952.

CA. Over the ensuing decades, Judith reared her children, became an accomplished tennis player, explored yoga, completed a half-marathon, nurtured her friendships and travelled to six of the seven continents. She also worked in the financial services industry as an associate at Loeb Rhodes, Inc., which, after many mergers and name changes over the course of her career, eventually became Wells Fargo Advisors. Judith remained keenly interested in the Arts throughout her life and she was active in the Asian Arts Council of San Diego and the Garden Club of La Jolla. Judith was an intelligent, curious, and optimistic person who lived with grace and dignity. Judith is survived by her three children, Lisa Hukari of Mill Valley, CA, Jeffrey George of Safety Harbor, FL, and Susan George of Phoenix, AZ. She is also survived by her four grandchildren, Kallie and Jackson Hukari of Mill Valley, CA, and Devon and Hayden George of Safety Harbor, FL; and her daughter-in-law, Heather Peshak George of Safety Harbor, FL.

Dad and daughter dental team move practice to Prospect Street

Dr. Tracy Taddey, D.D.S. and Dr. John Taddey, D.D.S.

By Marti Gacioch John Taddey, D.D.S. and Tracy Taddey, D.D.S. — La Jolla’s father and daughter dental team — will open their new office on Wednesday, June 10 and invite the community to an Open House, 5-7 p.m. Friday, July 10. “Our new office at 875 Prospect St., Suite 301 in the Roppongi building has a great ocean view, plus it’s much more modern than our older one,” said Tracy Taddey. “We’ve improved the quality with new equipment and technology.” Previously on Ivanhoe Avenue for 40 years, the Taddeys’ new office will feature digital X-rays and the most modern types of crowns and fillings available. Newer crowns are available in pure white zirconium or the doctor can do porcelain veneers. “The crowns of metal plate are very strong and give the patient a beautiful pure white translucent natural smile that provides the patient with a good image of themselves,” Tracy Taddey said. “We see people, who weren’t very confident and never smiled, go from that way to feeling great about themselves and smiling; dental work transforms their personality.” She said her main focus is cosmetic dentistry, and she uses Invisalign for orthodontics work. While attending New York University, Tracy Taddey said she worked for Elle magazine where she was exposed to the world of models and cosmetics. “I grew an interest for cosmetic dentistry; I love the qualities that it offers,” she said. “Both my grandfather and dad are dentists and that

also inspired me to become a third-generation dentist.” While the Taddeys don’t place implants, John Taddey performs the cosmetic restorative work on implants that essentially gives a patient their tooth back. He also performs specialty work such as Temporary Mandible Joint syndrome (TMJ), root canals and extractions. The Taddey team also performs a full range of general dental treatments. “We are very family-oriented and want our patients to have a personal experience here,” said John Taddey. “We get to know our patients pretty well, and we treat every age group, including children. Our longtime patients are following us on this move.” Tracy Taddey added, “We strive to be a gentle, calming, friendly dental practice. After graduating from the University of the Pacific Dental School, I’ve worked for 17 years with my dad; we have a great relationship, we work well together and balance each other out really well.” The dentists work with most insurance plans and offer alternative plans to patients without insurance. u n Dr. John Taddey, D.D.S. and Dr. Tracy Taddey, D.D.S., 875 Prospect St., Suite 301, Roppongi building.

California olive oil is available in bulk, dispensed from fustinos (stainless steel containers) into bottles, and guests may bring their own bottles or purchase them at the store. What you may not know about We Olive is the hidden ocean view wine bar located at the back of the retail tasting room. Perched above Scripps Park and the La Jolla Cove, the wine bar features California artisan wines, craft beers and a delicious menu for lunch, happy hour and dinner. We Olive recently introduced a new spring menu with an emphasis on fresh, delicious

and heart healthy dining options.

n On the Web: lajolla.ymca.org/ firehouse.html

“That big elevator, to me, just destroyed the volume of the original engine bay,” Bennett said, noting that a second, lower ceiling that is not original to the structure will be removed to reveal the building’s original, pitched ceiling and wood trusses (structural framework arranged in triangles to support a roof). “We’ll just kind of reclaim the original volume and grandeur of that room.” In August, midway through construction, when the building has been stripped to its skeleton, the YMCA will hold an open house and donor appreciation party to give people a glimpse of the building’s bare bones. Small offices and studios on the second story will be opened up to create two large group exercise rooms for yoga, dance and other classes, while a child-care area, showers and a changing rooms will be added to the first floor. “People can shower after they work out or after they go for a run at the Cove,” Ball chimed. Original metal-framed windows on the second story of the building will be refinished and re-glazed, and an old police holding cell on the first floor will be preserved and converted to a closet for computer equipment. However, some historic aspects of the building — including two fire poles — will have to be “entombed” (stored) on site to

accommodate the new design. “The good news is there’s a lot of original material here that’s intact, a lot of things weren’t destroyed over the years,” said Bennett, who also designed and spearheaded a community remodel of Fire Station 13 on Nautilus Street in 2007. “To the Y’s credit we’re doing a lot more than I think they originally anticipated that will actually serve the building and give it life for the next 50 years,” he added. “We’re replacing all the roofing, all the mechanical and all the electrical.” Original windows currently in storage will be scraped, painted and re-entombed, Bennett said. “The challenging part is knowing where to stop,” he said. “Money,” Ball interjected, noting that the YMCA (with offices at 8355 Cliffridge Ave.) has raised about three-quarters of the funds it needs for the remodel, and are still in the midst of a fundraising campaign, with donor recognition available on a tile-androck mosaic being created by Bird Rock artist Jane Wheeler for gifts of $500 or more. “It’s hard to spend money that you don’t get to see that well, that’s invested in the bones, but for the longevity of the building it’s going to be one of the best things,” Bennett said. u

Fiery Village tragedies of yore As the YMCA Firehouse begins remodeling the building that once housed a fire station serving the Village from 1913 to 1976 (Station No. 13), La Jolla Light looks back on the Village’s two most catastrophic conflagrations. ■ 1921: A fire broke out at La Jolla Garage on Herschel Avenue the evening of July 3, 1921, destroying 24 autos stored there. According to news reports archived at La Jolla Historical Society, the blaze was discovered by the night watchman. Although fire engines arrived “promptly, a lack of water pressure for 20 minutes made it impossible for the fire department to do much. Most of the cars left in storage were locked and could not be started without the key. The flames went straight up, and were visible for miles. … A party of tourists in a beautiful new car drove into the garage about 7 o’clock, left their car and all their baggage, including suitcases, furs and wraps, while they went to get a bite to eat,” the report states, adding, “One man, who lost an almost new Packard, bought another on Wednesday. He didn’t seem worried.

La Jolla Historical Society

■ 1952: The Village’s next massive fire occurred March 15, 1952 (pictured above), when La Jolla Lumber Co. burned to the ground at 7600 Girard Ave., near the current site of Vons grocery store. According to a news report, “Flames vaulted 60 feet in the air. Hampered by high winds, but aided by civilians, 10 fire companies battled the blaze.” The fire, sparked by an electrical short circuit in the building’s wiring, caused an estimated $200,000 damage. … Too much for the lumberyard to absorb, it went out of business.” u

Rotarians, Salvation Army aid homeless

otary Club of La Jolla and the Salvation Army hosted an outreach project for homeless individuals living at Mariner’s Point on May 22. Coordinated by Salvation Army Donor Relations Director and Rotary member Camille McKinnie, the project provided lunch, books, toiletries, socks, sleeping gear, rucksacks and other essentials to approximately 60 homeless people living at Mariner’s Point. The project evolved from a series of discussions with community groups

regarding homelessness. “This is a complex problem,” said Rotary club president Russell King, who volunteered at the event. “The best way to help is not always clear. Our discussions helped us understand the problems facing people who are homeless and what we can do to make a difference.” The Salvation Army helped homeless people find resources to connect them to services available.

trends & events Silver Fillings… not a precious metal in your precious teeth

Let’s not beat around the bush… silver fillings are typically old, unattractive, and are most likely doing more harm than good over time. Unlike white fillings or porcelain, silver (amalgam) fillings cannot be bonded to the tooth. The problem with this is that healthy tooth structure must be removed unnecessarily to lock the silver filling in to place. Most patients that have silver fillings say they’ve had them for years and don’t even remember when they were placed. It seems like they would last forever. So why don’t they? 1.) With age comes the loss of compliance of tooth structure. Basically, teeth become more brittle. 2.) Chewing forces create enormous stress and over time take a toll on the tooth structure. This in combination with brittle teeth, generates small fractures that propagate. 3.) Hot and cold temperatures in the mouth cause the metal in silver fillings to expand and contract differently than the tooth, creating stress in the tooth structure, as well. 4.) The tooth was weakened from the beginning due to the preparation design to help retain the filling. Besides the silver fillings failing over the years, sometimes the bigger problem is the tooth failing because of the filling. When small gaps around the filling and fractures in the tooth form, microscopic bacteria can seep into the tooth, ultimately decaying the tooth underneath the filling. Often when we remove silver fillings, we find decay and fractures that were not necessarily visible in the x-ray and that the patient was not aware of. When the decay is deep or the fractures are extensive, the tooth may require a crown or root canal. Tooth colored, white composite fillings or porcelain are our choice for repairing teeth. Besides looking natural and matching your healthy teeth, these restorations have the important advantage of bonding to your teeth, thus increasing the overall strength of the teeth. These white fillings can last for years when they are placed correctly and precisely. So far, we’ve been very nice in calling these antiquated restorations “silver”. Actually they’re dark grey or black looking because of the surface corrosion… very attractive! Let’s discuss the obvious debate in regards to silver fillings: mercury content. Silver fillings are not pure silver. They are a mixture of silver, zinc, copper, tin, and mercury. Mercury makes up approximately 50% of the mix. High levels of mercury vapor exposure are associated with adverse effects in the brain and the kidneys. However, the researchers that have studied the effects of silver mercury filings can’t agree on whether the amount of mercury vapor that leaches out of these fillings is enough to do harm. Knowing these things, would you volunteer to have a “silver” filling placed? In our opinion, even the smallest amount of toxicity isn’t worth it, which is one of the many reasons we do not place silver fillings in our office.

Youth Baseball sends 13 teams to Memorial Day tourney By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball

As a tune-up for the PONY Section Tournament on June 19, La Jolla Youth Baseball entered as many tournament teams as possible in the Memorial Day event hosted by Tecolote Youth Baseball. A total of 13 teams could be some sort of record! LJYB also unveiled its new look for All Star uniforms featuring red-and-black lettering

on gray jerseys and caps — an “old school” look that players and parents seemed to appreciate. La Jolla’s three Bronco teams were eliminated in the semi-final round. Bronco Blue turned a triple play against Tecolote Blue. Tecolote teams took home most of the trophies, so it was great to see the Mustang 10U Red team come up with a big victory for La Jolla in the last game of the tourney.

Pinto Red (8U) runner-up team with coaches Greg Hansen, Matt Landa, Mac Armstrong and Michael Tu

Pinto 7U runner-up team with coaches Paul DePodesta, Brad Kates, Craig Beck and Charles Hartford

Mustang teams did well with an overall 11 — 5 record, with all teams winning at least one game. 9U Blue got an exciting win on Saturday, 10U Blue with three victories and 9U Red losing to Tec in the “Silver” championship — 30 Mustang pitchers saw action over the tournament. The Pinto Red (8U) team made it all the way to the Championship game, rattling off four straight victories before losing a 2319 slugfest to Tecolote in the finals. The Reds started the tournament with a convincing 21-5 victory over Paradise Hills. They went on to knock of a talented La Costa team 12-11 to earn a No. 1 seed in the elimination round. Next up La Jolla defeated Mira Mesa 17-13. In the semi-finals La Jolla overcame injuries to four players to beat Mission Bay Black 19-14; the game featured a home run by Santino Grasso. While the finals didn’t go their way, the Pinto Reds look forward to playing Tecolote again in the PONY Tournament. The Pinto 7’s battled their way to the Championship game by beating two 7- and 8-year-old mixed teams from North City and Mission Bay in exciting one run games. The Championship was a rematch of an earlier pool game versus the Tecolote 7’s that mercied La Jolla 19-2 in their first matchup. The La Jolla 7’s fought valiantly in the final, as it was a one-run game through the first four innings. The offense was powered by Ryan Kestler’s grand slam, and Carl Murfey and George Hartford each chipping in three hits. The defense was anchored by vacuum-like

performances from Luke Castagnola and Clyde Kates. Unfortunately, they fell short in the end, 17-12, and took home the runner-up medal. The Shetland league fielded three teams coached by Chris Circuit, Mac Armstrong and Aaron Hanson. All advanced to the final day of the tournament and finished in second, third and fourth place. The teams won a total of nine games in the tournament with many great plays and strong performances. Julian Benavidez, while playing for the Red team, drove a ball over the fence for one of the only home runs in the Shetland tournament. In an early game versus Mira Mesa, Nathan Thomson (playing for the White Team) turned a rare unassisted triple play. With runners on first and second base, Nathan caught a line drive playing second base, he stepped on second base for the second out, and tagged the runner coming from first base for the third out. Shetland parents and coaches had a great year introducing a new crop of players to the game of baseball. This season the Shetland League had about 90 players on 11 teams. n PONY Section Tournament: June 19-29 in Ramona, where LJYB will send eight teams to compete for the Region Tournament to start July 14. Each division tournament plays through Super Region, Zone and a World Series in different parts of the country.

Fastest sport on two feet!

Ladies lacrosse presence growing in La Jolla L By Ashley Mackin acrosse, considered the fastest sport on two feet, might also be the fastest growing in popularity in La Jolla. With expanding divisions, The Jewel is currently home to a female recreation league and a tournament team, in addition to thriving high school teams. Best friends Sam Farrell and Kitty Cullen coach all the female teams in town, and moved to San Diego from Maryland to establish a girls lacrosse program here. While there is a boys counterpart to these programs, it was established years ago; the girls are just gaining steam. La Jolla Lacrosse Club recreation league (home field La Jolla High School) consists of six girls teams — two peewee teams for those in kindergarten through grade 4, and four middle school teams for those in grades 4-8. “Anyone can sign up for the rec league. We practice twice a week with games on the weekend in the fall and spring,” Farrell said. She added there are other rec leagues throughout San Diego, and these compete against each other. Cullen said one of La Jolla’s middle school teams ended its season undefeated after winning the Division A championship in the spring. “It was awesome. It was really fun to watch them improve this year and they worked really hard.” The athletes who thrive in recreational lacrosse have to be fast and have good hand/eye coordination, Farrell said. “You are holding a stick and have to use it throw, catch and scoop up the ball. It’s a sport that’s easy to pick up, but athletes who played basketball and soccer pick it up a lot faster,” she said. The ladies tournament team, called the Mad Dogs, is by invitation or tryout only, and they travel across southern California to compete. Last summer was their inaugural season, so they stayed fairly local, traveling to other areas of

La Jolla seventh- and eighth-graders with coach Kitty Cullen after going undefeated and winning the spring Division A championship Courtesy

San Diego and Los Angeles. “We’ll play five or six games in a tournament and come home, but once we’re more established, we’ll travel further and play more, like to Colorado or the East Coast,” Farrell said. The La Jolla High School varsity team also had a successful season, Cullen said. They ended their spring season 14-7 overall, 7-4 in the league. “We were a very young team this year; we had six freshmen on varsity, which was crazy,” she said. “We ended up finishing in eighth place, which granted us a spot in the (high ranking) open division — a huge accomplishment.” A season highlight came when the lady Vikings defeated Coronado in overtime. “It was the first time La Jolla High School beat Coronado in 11 years. That was huge, especially for our seniors,” Cullen said. While victories are great, seeing the growing excitement in La Jolla athletes for the sport Cullen and Farrell love so

much has been the most rewarding part of the experience for them. “It’s so big back East, everyone plays it. It’s so crazy that it’s not bigger out here,” Farrell said. “But I guess it’s always been a New England/East Coast sport and now that people are starting to see it, it’s going to spread.” The two recently offered a demonstration at Bird Rock Elementary and Muirlands Middle schools to introduce young athletes to lacrosse. “We got so much interest. They just had no idea what the sport was … they didn’t know about lacrosse,” Farrell said. Cullen attributes the rising awareness to West Coast colleges adding lacrosse programs. “With nearby colleges offering it, young people are seeing lacrosse more,” she said. “My lacrosse experience helped me get into the college of my choice. I grew up loving the sport and being able to give back to it is really important to me.” u n On the Web: lajollalacrosse.com

That gives them a huge advantage against players who come from other parts of the country that have seasonal, limited time to play,” particularly when applying for tennis

scholarships, Romanov noted. “If a kid likes tennis, they have a chance to excel at a sport that’s going to last a lifetime,” she enthused. “You can play it when you’re 7 or when you’re 90, like (Dorothy) ‘Dodo’ Cheney,” who could be found playing La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club in the years prior to her death last year, at age 98. Romanov touts La Jolla High’s solid tennis tradition, going back to the days when Vikings boys tennis coach Russ Lanthorne (now deceased) led what Ramanov and many others still consider “the best high school team ever.”

By Pat Sherman Retired Romanian professional tennis player Lucia Romanov has faced some of the biggest names in tennis — including Chris Evert, Tracy Austin, Hana Mandlíková and Martina Navratilova. Now, as the new coach of La Jolla High School’s girls varsity tennis team, she’ll be sharing valuable insight with student athletes that she gained competing in the world’s top bouts — from the French Open to Wimbledon. “We are thrilled to have Lucia Romanov join our coaching staff at La Jolla High School,” LJHS athletic director Paula

SPORTS

www.lajollalight.com

Lucia Romanov (seen here at the height of her professional career) faced off against tennis greats Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Billie Jean King and others. Under Lanthorne’s leadership, the LJHS boys tennis team won 10 consecutive CIF team championships (1970-1979), with a national record of 185 consecutive wins. In 1971, his team nearly defeated University of Southern California’s collegiate tennis team. Romanov, who first came to San Diego to compete in the Southern California Open in Balboa Park (today played at La Costa Resort in Carlsbad) counts members of LJHS’s 1971 legendary team, including greats Chico Hagey and John Holladay of La Jolla, among her personal friends. “I hear stories about La Jolla High all the time through my friends, about the great tradition of tennis,” she said. “When this opportunity came along I was, like, OK, I’m filling some pretty big shoes here.” Romanov’s own shoes are fairly large, having competed against some of the sport’s top names, including Martina Navratilova. “Yeah, she got me,” Romanov concedes of the defeat, with a laugh. “It was not a pretty sight. I did break a serve, which I was proud of … but I unfortunately I played her on grass.” Conversely, recalling a match against Billie Jean King, Romanov said, “I got to beat my idol. She’s a little bit older than me, but she was still good that year at the French Open. It was on clay, which is my surface.” King, nevertheless graciously agreed to offer her opponent some pointers, which Romanov plans to pass on to her team at La Jolla High.

“I learned how to volley late, and I still wasn’t volleying well,” Romanov recalled. “Billie Jean was probably the best (at volleying) in the world. She was so nice and willing to share. She took me on a court and showed me some exercises and some things … that I still do today.” Romanov studied mechanical engineering via a college in her native Bucharest, while competing on the Women’s Tennis Association tour. After moving to San Diego, she earned a master of business administration from San Diego State University in marketing and entrepreneurship, going on to work in real estate development and on other small business ventures. “Tennis was my first passion, my first love … but I wanted to try another world. I was trying to be a well-rounded person. Now that I’m retired, I’m going back to my first passion,” she said, noting that she was referred for the position by LJHS boys varsity coach, Matt Previdi, and junior varsity coach, Blair Moses. Romanov met her team for the first time last month. “They’re such nice young ladies,” she chimed. “I was very impressed with their maturity level, and their enthusiasm for tennis — and that’s a must. If you want to play well, you have to love the sport.” To avoid injury during matches, which can last up to three hours, Romanov said players must also possess peak overall physical conditioning. The sport requires dexterity for proper footwork and strength to deliver a powerful swing, she said. “You’re kind of like a marathon runner,” Romanov said. “You have to have explosive muscles, as well your aerobic fitness.” After assessing her players’ skill level, Romanov said she will work to instill a sense of “mental toughness” in her players — the ability to perform well under pressure. “It’s grueling,” she said. “Tennis becomes very mental after a certain point. At the high school level they already have the strokes. Now you have to come up with solutions to problem-solve, find out what the weakness of your opponent is. … At some point everybody can hit balls just as good. What sets apart one player from another is the ability to rise to the occasion, to bring your best. I like to think that I can do well with them in that area.” However, at the end of the day, she said, “Winning should be a byproduct of improving one’s skills, rather than the ultimate goal.” u

Judy Shufro: Let’s get more art on display

Botanicals courtesy of La Jolla Garden Club flank the entrance to La Jolla Library on Draper Ave.

udy Shufro is an artist and art educator, specializing in contemporary realism with fantasy. “I feel power, pulse and electric when I paint,” she said. “Since moving to La Jolla, I’ve discovered pure primary colors are exploding all around me. I’ll never tire of the cerulean blue skies, stars visible at night, magenta hillsides in February, and cadmium yellow medium trees in summer.” Shufro likes to paint a series of about 20 works before moving on to another subject. Research for these has taken her to Japan, Barcelona, chicken coops, bakeries, La Jolla Shores Beach and Ralphs grocery store. “I have in my collection dancers, cafés, graffiti, flowers, animals and most recently, vegetables,” she said. One of her café paintings is in the permanent collection of the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina. Another, a kimono shaped triptych landscape of Mt. Koya, is in the private collection of the former curator of Far Eastern Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. What brought you to La Jolla? I got here by way of New York and Boston. I was hired to design an art studio and teach, and ended up teaching art at Torrey Pines Elementary School. I initiated an art gallery to showcase my students’ work that is still in place at Ralphs (8657 Villa La Jolla Drive). I’ve also taught at The Athenaeum, for City College at the Jewish Community Center, and at the former Riford Center. I’ve taught at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising and had the pleasure of being named “outstanding teacher” by my honor students twice.

An error by the water department resulted in Inga’s neighbor receiving a bill for $41,065.40.

Let Inga Tell You

Water bills from heck

La Jolla Cultural Partners

t’s never good news when your refrigerator suddenly starts sounding like a fountain. We actually have a small recirculating outdoor fountain that we turn on when we’re reading the paper on our patio in the morning. (Lighten up, water zealots: it takes like a gallon.) For several weeks, for hours at a time, I’d hear the familiar fountain burble and think we’d accidentally left it on until I realized the sound was coming from the refrigerator. Suffice it to say, this was an eventuality not covered by the fridge’s owner’s manual. I called our usual appliance repair place. Been in business 40 years, they said. Never heard of a refrigerator sounding like a fountain. Was it working? Yes, I said. No water on floor. Everything’s cold. Still makes ice. Then no point in coming out, they said, probably making a note to ignore future calls from this number. Then we got a water bill that was double the last one. I nearly fell out of my chair when I opened it. At that rate, per annum, we could get two first class tickets to Maui. Which, of course, we’d much rather do than pay the water trolls whom we suspect of unduly profiting at the taxpayer’s expense. Of course, one possibility was that they’d misread the meter, a way-too-common

experience in my neighborhood. The folks to one side of us have had their meter misread twice, receiving bills for over $2,000 for their very modest lot. But the real whopper was the neighbor on the other side of us who received a water bill for $41,065.40 for a 600 square foot rental property on a postage stamp-size lot in Pacific Beach with a customary water bill of $80. Good thing they didn’t have Automatic Bill Pay! My neighbor called the water department expecting they would immediately agree with the unlikelihood of a 36,326.5 percent (I love the .5) increase in usage from the last bill. Instead, the water lady replied, “Sounds like you have a leak.” 3.4 MILLION GALLONS WORTH??? My neighbor, who was quietly having a heart attack, replied, “For that much water, there’d be a sink hole the size of Qualcomm!” It was her husband who immediately suspected — and confirmed — the misread meter. 2742 was recorded as 7242. (Apology from water folks? Nope!) So that was our first thought: The Myopic Meter Reader Strikes Again! What was especially puzzling was that a year ago, we’d paid $2,800 to have our sprinkler system revamped and upgraded with low-

flow heads, and our water bills had dropped considerably. Until now. I called the refrigerator folks back and $81 later, they confirmed that nothing was wrong with the fridge that had remained maliciously silent while the repair guy was there but started burbling 10 minutes after he left. He didn’t think the bill and the phantom fountain noise were related. But on his way out he said, “You know, you might want to check under your house.” It is a testament to how much both Olof and I hate going under our house that we managed to ignore this suggestion for another five days. I wrote in my new book about crawling under the house — as nasty a rat and spider-filled place as you can imagine, never mind my personal vision of Hell — as a chronically broke single mom dragging two gallons of muriatic acid to pour into the cleanout pipe. My list of lifetime goals included never doing it again. A leaflet had come with our humongo water bill suggesting we check our meter. Instructions: 1.) Make sure no water is running. 2.) Open lid to the sidewalk water meter and be stung by black widow spiders who live in there. No, seriously, they do (live there). Actually, what it says is: “Check

the area around the meter to make sure there are no harmful insects or other animals.” (What, gophers?) Even before I took a reading we could see the meter moving. Bad news. So that’s how Olof ended up under the house. (I don’t want him to think that that’s why I married him, but truthfully, it was a factor.) As soon as he pulled off the door to the claustrophobic crawl space, we could clearly hear water running. Flashlight in hand, Olof had to army-crawl the entire length of the house risking rodential and arachnic assaults until he got to — surprise! — the area under the refrigerator where a 1/8 hole in a main pipe was gushing water. Plumber on a Sunday? Don’t ask. But definitely cheaper than letting it run. After the plumber left, we tested the meter again. Fifteen minutes and the meter didn’t budge. Phew! But you can believe I’m going to be on the sucker at least weekly from now on. Because I would have much rather gone to Maui. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Howell Foundation offers insight into osteoporosis By Ashley Mackin La Jolla-based Howell Foundation for Women’s Health held a luncheon May 28 at La Jolla Country Club, inviting guests to “bone up” on their knowledge of osteoporosis. Speaker Heather Hofflich, osteoporosis expert and associate clinical professor of medicine at UCSD School of Medicine explained the causes, treatments and recent developments in viewing the disease that affects approximately 54 million Americans. Osteoporosis, Hofflich explained, is caused by low bone mineral density and poor bone quality. As such, bones become porous and weak, and can fracture or break easily, especially from falls. Hofflich recommends that all women have their bone density screened starting at age 65, and men at age 70. However, she said, anyone who has experienced a fracture after age 50 should also have their bone density screened.

How it’s measured When bone density is screened, the patient gets what is known as a T-score. “People come in my office all the time and say ‘I don’t know what these numbers mean,’ ” she said. “A T-score of -1 to -2.5 registers bone density as having something called osteopenia. There has been some debate about this term because it’s essentially pre-osteoporosis and while fractures still can happen at this stage, your

chews all day, and I have say no, that’s too much!” she said. She pointed out that a glass of milk has 300 milligrams of calcium, as does six ounces of yogurt. Leafy greens such as kale, turnip greens and lettuces are also high in calcium. However, excess intake of calcium can contribute to the risk of heart attack if calcium deposits in the heart. When it comes to calcium supplements, she said there are two kinds: Calcium Carbonate, which needs to be taken with food to best be absorbed, and Calcium Citrate, which does not need to be taken with food. She added the bottle should identify which type of calcium it contains. She also recommends looking at dosage on the bottle, as some are two tablets per serving, others are only one.

Heather Hofflich, osteoporosis expert and associate clinical professor of medicine at UCSD School of Medicine, speaks at the Howell Foundation lunch. Ashley Mackin

Changes in treatment risk for fractures is lower. T-score of -2.5 and lower is considered osteoporosis.” The number is used as a comparison to the T-score to those of a healthy adult of the same sex and ethnicity. Patients under age 50 who need their bone density screened are provided with a number known as a Z-score, which compares their bone density to a normal adult of the same sex, ethnicity and age. Z-scores are read the same way as T-scores.

Risk factors Extended use of certain medications can contribute to osteoporosis, Hofflich said, particularly steroids of more than 5 milligrams a day for longer than three months or long durations of acid-reducing Proton-Pump Inhibitors, such as Prilosec or Nexium, which are thought to reduce calcium absorption. Other risk factors include age, tobacco products, excessive alcohol consumption, being underweight (less than 125 pounds), previous fractures and family history. Medications that cause dizziness contribute to falls, which she said is a leading cause of broken bones among those with osteoporosis, especially in the hips and spine. Being mindful of medications that affect stability and removing trip hazards from the home reduces one’s risk of a fall.

Almighty calcium Hofflich said the best way to prevent osteoporosis is to increase one’s calcium intake to “safe levels.” Whenever possible, do so from food sources rather than from supplements. “We recommend 1,200 milligrams daily for women over 50 years old; 1,000 milligrams for men over 50,” she said. However, some people take too much calcium in the form of supplements. “I hear people say they eat chocolate calcium

“In the past, we would take your T-score and if you were a certain age and had a score below -2, you automatically went on medication. Now we look at those that have osteopenia, and say to ourselves ‘they don’t have osteoporosis but they are at risk, so what do we do?’ ” she said. “Someone with a low T-score but with no risk factors might not need treatment, but monitoring.” With a focus on monitoring, the frequency at which patients are checked depends on the individual, she added. “Medicare suggests screening once every two years; however, if you are on a certain treatment you might be screened every year,” she said. “Studies are underway looking at how often people should screened. If you have osteopenia, you could actually wait five years between screenings.”

More information There is an osteoporosis education and support group that meets at noon on first Wednesdays at UCSD’s Thornton Hospital, third floor, SDG&E Room, 9300 Campus Point Drive. All meetings are free and open to the public. (858) 657-7236. u n The Howell Foundation presents luncheons throughout the year to discuss various women’s health issues.

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Money is the root of ‘Rich Girl’ mother/daughter conflict

76 Op 74 en Ca S m at in & ito S Co un ro 1 m -4 an de l

new romance between a struggling young man and a complicated young woman becomes a colossal crisis in “Rich Girl,” now playing at The Old Globe Theatre. Claudine’s (Lauren Blumenfeld) mother, Eve (Meg Gibson), is a well-off financial manager who even has her own TV show. She’s savvy about most everything until Claudine falls in love with someone she barely knows, and Eve is certain he only wants her money. Eve’s not too keen on men as her husband left her eight months pregnant with Claudine and she’s worked very hard to get where she is. Because Claudine has some quirky deficiencies, it’s been even harder. Claudine has a position in Eve’s Foundation, but it’s mostly in name only. When Claudine runs into Henry (JD Taylor), a former college schoolmate, she’s surprised at his friendly attentiveness. Henry is director of a floundering theater company in need of some backing. After Claudine brings him home, Eve is on him like a flea on a dog. She tells her daughter Henry only likes her because he hopes to get some money out of their friendship. But Henry is not put off by Eve, and

before she can slam the door behind him, he and Claudine are spending more and more time together. This delights Eve’s assistant and almost family member, Maggie (Carolyn Michelle Smith). She’s far more nurturing to Claudine than her own mother, and encourages Claudine to keep seeing Henry. Christmas arrives and Henry proposes and wants to get married right away in Las Vegas. Eve plays a trump card to separate the two lovebirds — a long awaited trip to Africa for herself and Claudine to tour their foundation beneficiaries. She privately orders Maggie to investigate Henry. When the girls return home it’s a pity party for Claudine, a swift out-of-the-picture for Henry and a big heartbreak for Maggie. One could call Stewart’s “Rich Girl,” an update on the classic Henry James’ novel “Washington Square,” and film, “The Heiress,” but now the plot unfolds in modern times and both sides of the conflict are surely felt by the audience. The cast is superb. Gibson shines on those TV shots as Eve, and maintains her harsh disappointment with her daughter so well it occasionally hurts. Smith is equally good as a woman who knows she can only go so far in helping Claudine because Eve’s

Carolyn Michelle Smith as Maggie, Lauren Blumenfeld as Claudine, JD Taylor as Henry, and Meg Gibson as Eve in the West Coast premiere of Victoria Stewart’s ‘Rich Girl’ at The Old Globe Jim Cox evil stares warn Maggie that she could be dismissed at any time. Taylor plays Henry so cryptically we don’t know – is he really schmoozing Claudine just to get her mother’s money? Blumenfeld has the hardest role. Sporting neon-bright fuchsia-colored hair and struggling not to drop or break anything or make a fool of herself, Claudine is lost in a wilderness she thinks she understands, but doesn’t, all the while trying desperately to be “normal.” During the time she really has to stand up to obligations it’s an

amazing performance. The simple, elegant set design validates this story and watching Gibson on the TV giving the audience financial advice lends a great credibility to the plot. Playgoers will enjoy the story and the acting, along with the challenge of deciding each character’s true motivations. u n IF YOU GO: “Rich Girl” runs through June 21 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

The Plays The Thing Behind the script with UCSD’S award-winning MFA playwrights By Will Bowen CSD Theatre Department grad student David Jacobi described his playwriting objectives. “I was at this World Wide Wrestling event, which is really like a form of theater,” he explained. “One of the wrestlers stood up on the ropes and yelled insults at the audience. The audience got so riled up that after the event they went out to the parking lot and turned his car over! My goal is to generate that kind of excitement on stage. I would like to get the audience at my plays as riled up as the audience was at that wrestling match!” Jacobi was just awarded his MFA degree and concurrently won an award for playwriting from the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. His latest play, “Widower,” performed at the recent Wagner New Play Festival on campus, tells the story of a washed-up lady wrestler, modeled on real life wrestler Tammie Lynn Sytch, who breaks into her drug dealing exboyfriend’s house seeking money and drugs. The boyfriend’s young son, visiting from his mom’s house, confronts her and in an odd transformation of enemies into allies, befriends her, based on their mutual love of wrestling. The play features plenty of wrestling moves, including some with a giant stuffed teddy bear that the boy’s father has been using to hide his stash. Kristin Idaszak, a fellow student playwright at UCSD, also won a Kennedy Center playwriting award, which is like an “Oscar” for graduate students, making UCSD the only college with two awardees. Icing on the cake: Jeff Augustin, a graduate from last years’ MFA program, won the Kennedy Center’s “Lorraine Hansbury Award” for African American playwriting — for the second year in a row. In contrast to Jacobi’s pursuit of excitement, Idaszak said she approaches writing for the theater in a manner more round about. She takes her own life struggles — like dealing with family secrets — and then explores them through fictionalized stories she invents. Idaszak’s contribution to the Wagner New Play Festival was “Second Skin,” which featured three long monologues woven into a kind of ghost story. In the play, a daughter

comes home to reconnect with her mother who is dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. The daughter discovers that her mother had a sister who was transformed into a “Selkie” — a drowning victim who lives forever young in the sea wearing the skin of a seal! “You have to write about something that is personally meaningful to you,” she said. “If you’re not invested in your story, how can you expect the audience to be? For me, the issue in my play is what we don’t know about the people we are closest to.” Although quite different in their approach to playwriting, both writers share a love of the collaborative process; they like working with the plethora of people involved in bringing a play to life — the actors, directors, choreographers, musicians, voice teachers, dramaturges, lighting, stage and costume designers. 2015 NINE-TEN Regular Ad.pdf “I will often ask the actors, who can really embody their

roles, what one of my characters might say or do in a particular situation,” Jacobi said. “Then I go back and change the draft manuscript accordingly.” Both are proponents of rewriting and developing their plays over time. “I was rewriting last year’s Wagner play, “Battlecruiser Aristotle,” up to the very last moment — until they told me I had to stop!” Jacobi laughed. “ ‘Widower,’ my current play, started out as a 10-minute short in 2011. Now four years later, it has grown to be an hour-and-a-half long!” Jacobi believes a play will partially write itself through happy accident, mistakes, chance and natural evolution, as other people in the theater interact with it. “You want to allow this process ... to be open and to trust the flow of change … and not over think things,” he said. Idaszak agrees. “A lot of the ideas and issues in my plays percolate for a long time, and I’d say 75 percent of my writing is rewriting. As the actors, directors, and designers contribute input, things begin to develop and the work deepens.” Jacobi said he came to theater later than normal, entering the undergraduate dramatic writing program at New York University when he was 24, after six years as a food quality inspector on Long Island, where he grew up. Idaszak has been involved with theater since she was nine years old, when she would help her father in the scene shop at the West Spring Community Theater in Chicago. After graduation, Jacobi spent three years in Beijing, China where he headed a theater company that produced plays spoken in English with visually projected Chinese subtitles. His next project will be a musical called “The World Tree.” It’s about a soft-spoken character who discovers he has dementia and plans to commit suicide. Jacobi also has a play called “Mai Dang Lao” (Chinese for McDonald’s hamburger restaurant), which will open in Chicago next year. Idaszak is moving back to Chicago where a fellowship awaits her at a local theater. She also plans to get married to her 05/28/2015 11:28:28also AM works in theater in the Windy City. u fiancée who

Eastman, with co-creator Peter Laird, is best known for giving the world the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (A bit more on that later.) Eastman, who now works for IDW, will make periodic working appearances in his studio at the SDCAG. “Every single item in that studio is from my personal studio, whether it’s reference books, art books, pens and pencils, the desk, the Turtle collectibles.” He said he’s excited about giving comic art enthusiasts the opportunity to observe his creative process. “It’s important for me personally. Every time I would meet an artist I was curious as to what his studio was like. Having an exhibit like this, in which I will be working fairly regularly and doing signings once a month, fits the tone of a place where people can say ‘Whoa! This is where it all happened!’ It’ll resonate with a lot of fans, and even with people who’ve never read a comic book.” The other studio at the gallery will be occupied by different comic artists on a rotating basis, according to curator Katz. “(CEO & Publisher) Ted Adams and (Executive Vice President) Robby Robbins at IDW have close ties to the top artists in the field.

there’s probably nobody we can’t ask. We can dream big.” In case you’re wondering, the new gallery is planning some special events to be held during July’s San Diego Comic-Con International, and IDW, which is relocating to Liberty Station from its previous North Pacific Beach space, will, as always, have a presence at the Con. For artist Eastman, this year’s Comic-Con will be his 31st. “It’s always been one of the highlights of both comic artists’ and fans’ yearly calendar, and it’s known for being just a wonderful environment that really supports us as a unique art medium.” Now for that anecdote about the creation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: “I had this idea one night,” Eastman recounted. “I was just trying to make Peter (Laird) laugh. Being a big fan of Bruce Lee, I thought to myself, ‘If Bruce Lee was an animal, what would be the silliest animal Bruce Lee could be?’ ” Laird added the “teenage mutant” to the title, the two at-the-time-struggling artists came up with a story about the characters, and then self-published their final product. That was 30 years and millions of fans ago. “It’s mind-blowing to me,” said Eastman. u n IF YOU GO: The San Diego Comic Art Gallery, 2765 Truxton Road, Liberty Station, Point Loma opens June 5 as part of NTC’s Friday Night Lights from 5 to 9 p.m. Free admission.

La Jolla Garden Club inducts new officers at spring luncheon

he La Jolla Garden Club held its Spring Luncheon May 20 at La Jolla Country Club, guests of a sponsoring club member. On the agenda was the installation of next year’s officers, presentation of three horticultural scholarships to local students, and a report on the success of its Mother’s Day Gardener’s Market. La Jolla Light was saluted for its coverage of club meetings which “in no small part has helped our membership grow,” said outgoing president Linda Ryan. “With increased membership, we have been able to increase the dollar amount of our scholarships, install a courtyard garden at the Historical Society, and plan a new landscape installation at the La Jolla Riford Library.” The La Jolla Garden Club was established in 1968 and meets monthly (third Tuesdays) September to May at La Jolla Lutheran Church. It boasts more than 70 members and is a member of the National Garden Clubs and the California Garden Clubs — Palomar District. Interested in knowing more? Visit lajollagardenclub.org u

La Jolla Garden Club members Nancy Koch and Roberta Saunders with some of the newly planted shrubbery at La Jolla Library. From Garden Club, B1 Saunders said club members originally thought of donating some gardening books, but realized these days, people tend to look things up online instead. “Librarian Shaun Briley said there was an area in the back of the library that was totally blank and he’d like to have something planted there,” Saunders said. The club already supports the library with weekly flower deliveries that brighten the lobby. Continuing its support with the landscaping project was “a great fit for us,” Saunders said. The Garden Club’s board approved the project and its $1,000 pricetag. The work was carried out by a landscaper.

Each week a new floral arrangement in the lobby greets library visitors, courtesy of the Garden Club. Photos by Susan DeMaggio and Ashley Mackin

Briley said it will take about six months for the plants to fill out the patch. Carissa Green Carpet plants are drought-resistant and require little watering once established. Pygmy date palms are also drought-tolerant, but will require slightly more watering by the present library maintenance crew. “Everyone connected with the library wishes to extend thanks to the La Jolla Garden Club for this generous gift,” Briley said. “We rightly praise the efforts of La Jollans who beautify their own businesses or residences, but this is an act of kindness that has been done entirely for the benefit of others. It isn’t just people who use the library, but anyone passing along Draper Avenue will benefit from this.”

La Jolla Garden Club meets 1 p.m. third Tuesdays, September-April (taking a break during the summer) at La Jolla Lutheran Church, 7111 La Jolla Blvd. Most meetings are open to guests, with an occasional members-only event. Annual dues are $35, with a suggested $25 donation to the club’s scholarship program for students studying horticulture at Mira Costa Community College and Cuyamaca College. The club also supports the Penny Pines Reforestation Program in the Cleveland National Forest. lajollagardenclub.org u n See related story: La Jolla Garden Club inducts new officers at spring luncheon, B12

North Coast Rep’s ‘Betrayal’ looks at treachery from all sides By Diana Saenger Naming William Shakespeare and Harold Pinter as his favorite playwrights, actor Richard Baird is overjoyed to be playing Robert in Pinter’s “Betrayal” at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Written in 1978, the five-character play is labeled “passionate, explosive and surprisingly funny.” It unfolds in reverse chronology to tell the tale of two couples, a love triangle, betrayed friendships and shocking revelations. “One of the things I find so exciting and interesting about this play, as much as the affair itself, is the betrayal factor,” Baird said. “We’re really uncovering what the different betrayals are and there are quite a few … they all betray one another. “The writing is fantastic and concise, and the structure of this play is fascinating. It’s almost like looking at a Mozart concerto with the wonderful way the scenes mirror one another. The first scene is actually the last; the last scene is actually the first; and the other scenes are arranged backwards. “Pinter’s my favorite playwright after Shakespeare, and as different as Shakespeare and Pinter are, they’re similar in the way they relish the language. There are certain words Pinter will pick out that are really fantastic and you have to savor them and not change them because it would mess up the rhythm or alter the content. “One of the things that make the story more than just a pulp fiction romantic novel is that the husband, throughout most

he and Baird have worked together before. Baird is founding artistic director of the New Fortune Theatre Company. Baird said he usually has one favorite scene he looks forward to, but in Pinter’s “Betrayal” there are several. “I really love all the scenes because I think the language is so fantastic,” he said. “Scene five, the Venice scene, is wonderfully compact as there’s so much going on underneath the surface. There’s a restaurant scene where Robert is getting really drunk and trying not to show that he’s upset. It’s a lot of fun.” Baird said departing a Shakespeare or Pinter play is an invitation for conversation among playgoers. “If you listen to everything they’re saying in a Pinter play, there are hundreds of questions you can leave the theater asking yourself. I, personally, find that more fulfilling than telling an audience what to think or having a message for them. Because, in real life, we have an idea of what might happen in our day, but we don’t know what’s coming around the corner, and Pinter is one of the only playwrights that I feel does know … ‘Betrayal,’ hopefully, will have audiences talking about it for weeks to come and wondering what it all meant.” u

of the play, knows about the affair. There’s also that added betrayal because he doesn’t tell his friend he knows, which as we often see in Pinter, is the one-upmanship in trying to mark territory. So after all these

Terrific cast creates compassion for ‘The Whale’

n Samuel D. Hunter’s “The Whale” at Cygnet Theatre, we meet Charlie (Andrew Oswald), a very smart man whose bad choices are compromising his life. He weighs more than 500 pounds and is bound to his couch, just waiting for that last breath. Charlie teaches writing to students via the computer, and gets up only to shuffle his feet behind his walker to the bathroom. His nurse and friend Liz (Judy Bauerlein) makes frequent visits to check his oxygen, maybe help him to the restroom and bring him some food, but it always turns into a battle when she yells at Charlie for not using his financial savings to change his fate. Charlie looks at her with appreciation, but insists he’s saving the money for his daughter Ellie’s schooling, and asks Liz if she brought anything to eat. More enraged because Ellie has not come to see her dad since her parents divorced years ago, Liz rants again before she gives Charlie a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken, which he begins to devour. When a stranger knocks on the door and is invited in, Charlie realizes that Elder Thomas (Craig Jorczak) is on a Mormon Mission. Charlie questions Thomas and

talks about how life can mimic the Jonah and the Whale story, which confuses Thomas who cannot take his eyes off the mammoth man. Charlie makes it clear he’s not a Mormon, but Thomas still decides to “save” him. When Liz shows up, she screams at Thomas, telling him not to talk to Charlie, and to leave and never return. Charlie explains the outburst has to do with her brother (and Charlie’s partner) Alan, who once attended Thomas’ church. Alan was bullied because he was a Mormon and gay, and he committed suicide. Thomas honors Charlie’s request to find out what really happened at the church to lead Alan to such a drastic measure. When Ellie (Erin McIntosh) finally decides to visit her dad, he’s excited. She refuses to get near him and circles around the perimeter of the room like a lion waiting to pounce. She pours out years of wrath telling him of her disgust. Charlie is so happy to see Ellie, that his smiling face becomes an invisible shield deflecting her every harsh word. Ellie tells her dad the only reason she’s there is to get the money he’s been saving for her schooling before he dies and her mother gets hold of it.

Charlie’s (Andrew Oswald) reality in ‘The Whale.’ Ken Jacques

Thomas shows up again and Ellie is intrigued by him, but gives him a hard time, too. Eventually it’s Charlie who changes Thomas’ life — Thomas does not change him. At last ex-wife Mary (Melissa Fernandes) makes her first visit to Charlie in a long time, but only to keep him from giving Ellie the money. They spar and Charlie has several of his coughing and heart-clutching episodes, which scares everyone but only deepens their anger over the fact that he doesn’t take care of himself. “The Whale” is a story that could have its audiences leaving depressed, but this special cast is able to convey the different intent behind every word written by Hunter. Jorczak makes us see that Thomas is a young man out of his element who needs to return home. In Bauerlein’s intensity as Liz caring for Charlie, we

understand why she brings him the food he should not eat. McIntosh is a standout as Ellie, whose cruelty to her father is rage that produces our sympathy for a girl who is obviously also in pain. Fernandes’ Mary rants and raves until all the frustration leaves her body. She cuddles up to Charlie, lays her head on his shoulder, and a moment of pure love settles upon their faces. Director Shana Wride was spot on when she said, “The humor and humanity in this play about real people has surprising aspects.” u n IF YOU GO: “The Whale” runs through June 14 at Cygnet Theatre Company, Old Town Stage, 4040 Twiggs St., San Diego.

get your legs ready for summer As May draws to a close, that can only mean one thing here in San Diego county: beach season! But as many of us get out our summer clothes and go swimsuit shopping, there is a large percentage of people who are

hesitant to slip into their shorts and expose their legs due to unpleasant spider veins. Spider veins are red or blue jagged veins that resemble spider webs close to the surface of the skin. If you are one of those people who finds themselves self-conscious about bearing your legs in public due to these spider veins, there is an easy solution. Educating yourself about the causes of these veins, and more importantly, about the amazing technology we now have to eliminate these veins in a quick, painless fashion, could make your legs summer-ready in no time! Causes There are multiple causes of spider veins, and while many can be prevented, some are

unavoidable: • pregnancy • heredity • weight gain, obesity • lifestyles requiring prolonged sitting or standing • hormone changes, including use of some birth control pills • injuries or conditions of increased pressure on the abdomen • history of blood clots • excessive exposure to the sun Treatment The two main forms of treatment are sclerotherapy and laser vein removal. Both are easy, pain-free solutions for unsightly spider veins:

Sclerotherapy: this is a simple procedure where a small amount of solution is injected into the damaged veins (a small needle is used, similar to that of a Botox injection). The solution causes the vein to collapse and then the body will naturally eliminate it. Laser vein removal: this is also a noninvasive, simple procedure involving a laser that eradicates the superficial vein. This is a pain-free solution as we use a laser that has a patented cryogen cooling system that anesthetizes the skin before, during, and after treatment.

From 10 Questions, B1 (A Reason To Survive) to teens with challenges. What might you improve in the area? On a small note: A more attractive setting for the display of children’s art at Ralph’s. Perhaps surrounding the café area. On a large note: More

places to showcase art. Banks would be great. Missing at UTC Westfield are galleries for the display of fine art. Would a co-op work? Surely there are enough artists around to manage one. With 160 shops at UTC Westfield and no fine art venues, what are we waiting for? Wouldn’t the outdoor sitting area near the food court be an

exquisite place for fine and performing arts? And what about the empty storefronts in downtown La Jolla? A reason quality fine and performing arts are disappearing from our curriculums is that they have disappeared from our daily lives. Who or what inspires you? Just being here is

inspiration. If you hosted a party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My parents, their parents, my nephew Steven and his wife, Pam. I never met my father’s parents. My grandfather, father of nine, was a tinsmith and, I am told, gathered his grandchildren

on Friday nights in a tin circle he made and cooked fish. My grandmother brought two samovars from Russia, smoked cigarettes in bed and demonstrated for women’s rights. I would love to know all of their histories, which are also mine. What are your favorite movies of all time? “On the Waterfront,”

5SDG13023__RATEREFORMPRINT__RUN:06_04_15__LAJOLLALIGHT_8.31X10

“Rebecca,” “Argo,” “The Artist” and “An Inconvenient Truth.” What clothing item in your closet will you never part with? My mother’s shoes: brown silk and suede slingback, ankle strap, open-toed with embossing on the platform high heels. I can see her going out in these and looking beautiful. What are your favorite comfort foods? I love Italian and Asian fare.

California’s new electric rate structure is coming this summer.

What is it that you most dislike? Arrogance. Intolerance. What is your philosophy of life? Have a passion. Embrace it. What would be your dream vacation? I’m living in it. Otherwise, India and Vietnam would be nice to visit. u

More grass replacement rebates coming July 1 In answer to the call for increased water conservation measures by the state, San Diego’s grass replacement rebate program was re-launched April 15 and $750,000 in rebates will be distributed. More than 350 residents and businesses will receive funding from the city to replace their grass lawns with droughttolerant landscaping. All told, the program will replace more than 500,000 square feet of water-thirsty grass throughout the city. The city plans to restart the program in the next fiscal year and encourages interested residents to apply for a rebate on or after July 1. Applications will not be accepted prior and no waiting list will be established. Applicants will be reviewed on a first-come, first served basis as of July 1, 2015.

Short sweet season for cherries

hey add eye candy (and antioxidants) to Shirley Temples and Singapore Slings. They star in seasonal summer soups, salads, sauces and desserts like jubilees, tarts and pies. They accessorize banana splits and sundaes, and they make fascinating folklore around George Washington’s integrity. Life is just a bowl of them and they’ve arrived for the spring of 2015, so get picking!

regulates circadian patterns and tempers jag lag, and a flavonoid called quercetin linked to reducing cardiac risk factors, in particular, belly fat. Finally, cherries, especially the tart varieties have a heap of immune boosting antioxidants, including Vitamin C and beta-carotene. Cherries are top banana when it comes to antioxidant load, surpassing grapes, plums, raspberries, strawberries and oranges combined.

n Cherry’s family tree: Summer’s super stone fruit or drupe — a member of the Rosaceae family and close cousin to plums, nectarines, peaches and almonds — has been delighting palates since Fred Flintstone days as cherry pits have been excavated in prehistoric caves. While there are more than 1,000 cherry varieties worldwide, there are only two main species — sweet or wild and sour or tart. The former are grown in California, Oregon, Washington state and Michigan, the rich maroon-fleshed Bing the most popular, while its offspring, the golden-fleshed Rainier the priciest. Of the sour species, the Montmorency is the most prevalent by a long shot followed by Morello and Early Richmonds. Authentic maraschino cherries are made from the Marasca cherry, a type of Morello grown in Italy. The American maraschino doppelganger is made from the sweet Royal Ann, an imposter that has caused a culinary controversy by cherry purists over the years.

n Pick a winner: When picking sweet varieties look for cherries firm to the touch (but not too hard as they will not continue to ripen once picked), glossy with rich ruby or golden hues, and stiff green stems. Discard ones with soft spots, blemishes and brown stems. For the sours, these scarlet beauties are smaller and rounder than their sweet siblings — and even though they are usually too tart to eat out of hand and will be used for baking or cooking — they should still be firm, not shriveled or blemished with bright green stems. If picking at an orchard don’t wear white and bring your own containers and an insulated bag for the ride home. Refrigerate for up to one week, and only wash before eating to prevent spoiling. Cherries freeze well so they can be enjoyed year round. Before freezing remove the pits with either a mechanical pitter or the twist or poke method. (Insert a toothpick at the stern-end of the cherry into the pit and twist to remove, or place a straw or metal pastry tip in the center of the cherry and poke through.

n Get out of the pits: The cherry has been revered for centuries for its divine flavor and Herculean healing powers. Packed with anthocyanins that endow the fruit with its rich hue along with its ability to block inflammatory enzymes that cause arthritic joints to creak, ache and swell. Its store of boron boosts bone health, potassium puts the skids on hypertension, phytosterols shrink “bad” cholesterol levels, while cherry’s high fiber content acts like nature’s roto-rooter keeping the constitution regular. The precious little package also has a load of melatonin, the sleep hormone that

n The cherry on top: Cherries pair well with everything from dark chocolate, soft cheeses and citrus to balsamic vinegar, bourbon and port. Cool your heels this summer with chilled cherry gazpacho, a cherry almond smoothie or wild cherry lemonade. Toss cherries with baby greens, quinoa and feta, or blend mixed seafood with refreshing cherry relish. u — For additional cherry recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
