By pAt sheRMAn Following rumors earlier this year that the tall, stately palm trees in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) may have been poisoned, the museum has replaced two of the trees at the northern end of the property, which it believed would not survive. “We see small signs of life (tiny green offshoots) at the top of the other palms and will wait to replace those in hopes that they may eventually recover,” said MCASD Communications Associate Leah Masterson, via e-mail.

Historic cottages spared demolition ... for now By pAt sheRMAn Historic preservationists gained considerable ground last week in their efforts to save four early 20th century cottages in La Jolla that they believe are worth preserving for future generations. The owners of both sets of cottages — one in WindanSea and the other in the heart of the Village — hope to raze them to make way for new development. Tudor or too-da-loo? On April 18, the city’s Development Services Department (DSD) approved a coastal development permit to demolish two Tudor Revival-style cottages in WindanSea, to make way for the construction of a 2,563-square foot duplex that property owners Jack and Karen Visin hope to occupy with their two sons. Preservationists wanting to appeal DSD’s decision — which found that the project was not subject to California Environmental Quality Act Review — asked the San Diego

La Jolla Shores Friends group sues contractor for crumbling park map By Ashley MAckin n June 20, Mary Coakley-Munk and Friends of La Jolla Shores filed a lawsuit against contractors T.B Penick and Sons, and Lithocrete supplier Shaw and Sons, for damages resulting from the deteriorating Map at Kellogg Park. The plaintiffs say the educational art installation depicting the ocean canyons off La Jolla Shores, and located at the corner of

O

Camino Del Oro and Vallecitos, began crumbling in 2012. Friends of La Jolla Shores allege T.B. Penick, the group hired to construct The Map, made claims about its durability and longevity, but The Map has come apart on two separate occasions during the past five years and T.B. Penick has refused to repair it.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - June 27, 2013 - Page a3

From map Lawsuit, a1 T.B. Penick, however, said the lawsuit comes as a surprise. Attorney Dave Golia, representing T.B. Penick, said the first course of action will be to “figure out what the specific, latest contentions are so we know what we’re responding to. At this point, our intention is to resolve the matter in a reasonable and amicable way.” The purpose of The Map was laid out at the June 20 press conference by Friends of La Jolla Shores member Catherine Douglass. “The Map was designed to create a beautiful, educational and scientifically accurate illustration of the topography of the deep water canyons, the location of the marine reserves, dive sites and points of interest, and to showcase the indigenous species,” Douglass told the assemblage. The Map has areas of increasingly deeper shades of crushed blue glass covered in a laminating product called Lithocrete to show depth, and over 300 two-dimensional, bronze, life-sized replicas of the native species. The suit states that T.B. Penick said Lithocrete would be “ideal” and “perfect” to cover the surface of The Map because it would permanently hold the fragments of glass in place without delaminating or breaking. The suit also claims T.B. Penick promised “A Lithocrete sealer would ‘permanently ensure the structural integrity’ of the surface, which would then require ‘minimum maintenance’ with ‘almost no maintenance costs.’” Douglass said of these claims, “We are sad and we are mad. We should not be looking

mayor Bob Filner (right) shows his support at a press conference announcing a lawsuit against t.B. penick and sons, the contractors who installed the map. Ashley MAckin at a pockmarked, crumbling surface littered with loose glass. The Map is not safe; it is not attractive, durable, stable or low-maintenance,” as she said was also promised by T.B. Penick. Friends of La Jolla Shores member Bill Lerach told La Jolla Light that after The Map’s official opening in September 2008, it started to crumble and the area had to be closed off by the city in late 2009. T.B. Penick repaired The Map in April 2010, but it started deteriorating a second time. In fall

of 2012, the city closed the area, calling it a “safety hazard.” “The lawsuit seeks damages to compensate the people for the money that was lost in the project — which is well over half-amillion dollars — the cost of replacement, which could also be a half-a-million dollars, and punitive damages as well, because other Penick projects have failed and they concealed that from the people who raised money for this project,” Lerach said. At the press conference, Friends of La Jolla

Shores members and local government representatives, including Mayor Bob Filner, showed their support for the suit and the project itself. Stating her love of the project in its intended state, former County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price said, “What has happened is a travesty. Only five years (after The Map’s installation), it is in disrepair and in fact is a hazard. … As far as I’m concerned, T.B. Penick is guilty of fraud against the taxpayers.” Mayor Filner was on hand because the project was funded by private donations, and once completed, donated to the City of San Diego. “You can be in tears when you look at this, right? It’s such a tragedy that something whose idea and initial execution was so powerful and so beautiful and so important and, whatever the reason, incompetence or whatever, it turns out to be ugly,” he said. “We need to change it. We need to make sure this is fixed.” He added, “It’s terrible that we have to sue, nobody wants to do that, and yet, we have to do it.” Friends of La Jolla Shores said the lawsuit follows T.B. Penick’s refusal — after multiple requests — to repair The Map again or reimburse the Friends of La Jolla Shores so it may use another contractor. With the team of lawyers working on behalf of Friends of La Jolla Shores, Douglass said, “Together we will fight and together we will win.”

said commissioners would give “a great deal of deference” to the mayor’s request, after more than a half hour of deliberations the commissioners decided they would honor the request of the property owners and discuss the issue that day. Moomjian argued that land-use approvals for the Visins’ proposed duplex were processed through the city’s Sustainable Buildings Expedite Program, and should not be subject to further delays. “Delaying the project two months is thoroughly inconsistent with the very nature and purpose of this program,” he said, adding that the “question of historicity was asked and answered more than two years ago.” Diane Kane, a member of the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittee and a former HRB staff member, argued in favor of continuing the discussion. She said her committee could not make the findings to recommend approval of the permit required to demolish the cottages and redevelop the property because the evidence they were presented — specifically Moomjian’s historic survey —

was inconclusive. “My committee was reviewing this project when we were summarily curtailed in (our discussions) by staff’s approval of the (permit),” she said. “We were told at our first meeting, ‘You don’t need to ask (about its historicity). It’s been decided.’ Our question is, ‘Who decided it?’ This did not happen with any kind of open public process. All we’re asking is that the light of day be shed on this.” However, property owner Karen Visin said she felt she and her husband had done their due diligence. “We are not developers and have our life savings into this project,” she said. “Wasn’t the question of historical significance asked and answered over two and a half years ago when we began this journey? We paid the City of San Diego for that answer, and now someone needs more time to revisit the answer again?” Leslie Davis, chair of the La Jolla Historical Society’s (LJHS’s) preservation committee, said the society requested a formal HRB review in August 2010. Based on Golba and Moomjian’s historic survey (also referred to as a “forensic analysis”), four months later

the city’s development services department decided not to request a HRB review, though the LJHS did not learn this until a notice was posted on the property in June 2012 that the cottages were to be demolished. When contacting the city for a copy of the forensic analysis, Davis said the LJHS was told the report was either in storage or destroyed. The current version, she said, refers to photos that are not included in the report. “The report was written by the folks that want to develop the property,” she said. “We would like to take a look at that report and give the other findings regarding its historicity.” Naslund opted to abruptly end the June 13 meeting, curtailing any further discussion, following another visit from Filner’s chief of staff, who voiced the mayor’s objection to the meeting on grounds that Filner’s two new Planning Commission appointments, Theresa Quiroz and Anthony Wagner (who Filner has deemed “neighborhood champions”), were not allowed to be a part of the discussions. Though the new commissioners had

s

Planning Commission to delay hearing the matter until Aug. 8, so the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) could have a chance to consider the historicity of the cottages, and potentially confer a historic designation. Preservationists say a historical analysis of the properties conducted more than two years ago by attorney Scott Moomjian and architect and Planning Commission ViceChair Tim Golba — the basis for DSD’s decision to allow their demolition — is woefully inadequate. During Planning Commission meetings on June 13 and 20, the commissioners grappled with the issue of whether to allow a continuance, which would give the HRB time to consider the cottages’ historic value. Commissioner Golba, the architect hired to design the Visins’ duplex, recused himself from both discussions. During the June 13 meeting, Mayor Bob Filner sent his chief of staff, Allen Jones, to voice his support for a continuance. Though Planning Commission Chair Eric Naslund

La Jolla Historical society executive Director Heath Fox argues the cottages on Playa Del sur and eads avenue/Bishops Lane are worth preserving.

A rendering of the 2,563-square-foot duplex (center) Jack and Karen Visin hope to build on their Playa Del Sur property, which currently contains two early 20th century cottages slated for demolition. Courtesy of Golba arChiteCture already been sworn in, Filner later told La Jolla Light, “They were told they shouldn’t be at the meeting” (while outgoing Planning Commissioner Robert Griswold, who made a motion not to approve the continuance, sat in on the hearing). “The staff person said, well you probably don’t know enough to be at this meeting, so you should be at the next meeting; she just acted on her own, improperly,” Filner said, adding that he believes the Visin project should be subject to a full Historical Resources Board review. On June 20, with the addition of Filner’s new appointments (who voted for the continuance) the commission had enough votes to postpone the matter to the Planning Commission’s Aug. 8 meeting. Prior to that, Historical Resources Board will consider a historic designation for the cottages at its July 25 meeting.

Council upholds HRB designation Meanwhile, on June 18 the San Diego City Council unanimously voted to uphold the HRB’s historic designation for the abutting “Lillian Lentell Cottages” at 7761 Eads Ave. and 7762 Bishops Lane (built in 1915 and 1913 respectively). “I support (HRB) staff’s work in determining that these cottages are historic,” said District 1 City Council representative Sherri Lightner, a La Jolla Historical Society member who made the motion to deny the property owners’ requested appeal of the designation (seconded by City Council President Todd Gloria). “They are some of the last remaining examples of early beach cottage architecture in La Jolla. … and I believe we should be making every effort to preserve and protect the remaining cottages.” Representatives for the property owners argued that there was nothing significant about the cottages that warranted a historic designation and that almost no information about the structures, their architect or inhabitants existed in the LJHS archives. Until recently, they argued, the LJHS failed to champion the cottages’ historic value. Moomjian argued that the designation should be overturned because the HRB erred

in designating the properties due to factual errors in materials and information presented to the board at the time of hearing — most notably, the testimony of an audience member who erroneously claimed the property was on the LJHS’s historic walk tour — as well as violations of HRB hearing procedures. LJHS Executive Director Heath Fox conceded that the property was not on the walking tour, though noting that the community has 130 historically designated sites. “It is, after all, a walking tour and not a force march,” Fox said, adding, “Just because there’s no material in our archive on a particular property is not a factor or an assertion of the qualification of the property for historic designation. … There are lots of historically designated properties in La Jolla for which we have no archival material.” Fox said the city’s general plan and the La Jolla Community Plan both call for the preservation of architectural scale and character. “Historic buildings anchor the scale and character of neighborhoods, and we believe that these structures have style and integrity, that they maintain their character-defining features and are the only remaining example of the beach cottage architecture in that particular block.” Property owner Taal Safdie conceded that she knew the cottages were in the process of being considered for a historic designation when she and her husband purchased them — though she said they planned to appeal any such designation. Safdie called the cottages “an eyesore for La Jolla and the neighborhood.” She also said the Eads Avenue cottage has no driveway or garage (adding to a shortage of on-street parking) and would be too difficult and costly to restore as historic structures. Safdie said she and her husband would be open to a dialogue with the LJHS on how to relocate the cottages, so they can develop their property, as suggested by District 5 Councilmember Mark Kersey. (According to the LJHS, such an arrangement existed between the LJHS and the final owner of Irving Gill’s ‘Windemere’ cottage, before negotiations ceased and the owner had the cottage demolished on Dec. 23, 2011, via an emergency demolition project.) “I think (relocation’s) an interesting option,” Fox said. “We’d be glad to pursue it with staff and the historical society.”

Academia-industry partnerships turbocharge cancer medicine

W

hat happens when you put the nation’s second largest cluster of life science companies in the same town with one of the world’s most amazing groups of academic biomedical research institutions? You accelerate a certain chemistry, the combinatorial kind that produces a phenomenon known as the academiaindustry partnership, or AIP. This supercharged chemistry happens in San Diego and La Jolla, where AIPs fuel the development of novel cancer medicines that help patients get better. More so than almost any other place on Earth, researchers and entrepreneurs from industry and academia rub shoulders in San Diego and La Jolla. They commingle in events that foster AIPs, like the annual UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center Industry/Academia Translational Oncology Symposium. They get together through two non-profit organizations, BIOCOM and CONNECT, that strongly facilitate AIPs via services to the region’s numerous biotechnology companies. This proximity matters. It’s hard to beat creative interactions stemming from spontaneous and short-notice encounters and meetings, from seeing raw data and

experiments in person in the lab, and from a host of other immediate advantages that Skype, e-mail and distance can’t offer. AIPs work, and work fast. For example, in 2008 Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D., and academic colleagues in La Jolla reported that a JAK2 mutation in cancer stem cells drives the hematologic cancer myelofibrosis (MF). MF is debilitating and life-threatening, with abnormal blood-cell production and scarring in the bone marrow. Jamieson linked up with another academic scientist, David Cheresh, Ph.D., who founded the local company TargeGen, which developed a JAK2-inhibiting drug. They formed an AIP. Only eight months after the JAK2‒stem cell discovery in 2008, this AIP began a clinical trial of the JAK2 inhibitor here and elsewhere. The earlyphase trial was quite successful, helping patients right away and a harbinger of things to come in this emerging era of targeted therapy. It caught the eye of the large pharmaceutical company SanofiAventis, which acquired TargeGen in June 2010. More trials were then launched at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and elsewhere, and last month, Sanofi announced that the drug’s large, multi-

national Food and Drug Administrationregistration trial, called JAKARTA, had exceeded its expected benefit. If all goes well, it’s expected the FDA will approve the drug for cancer treatments in 2014. This case of AIP-turbocharged drug development went from 0 to 60 in eight months and from 0 to the finish line in just five years. That’s lightning fast compared with typical cancer drug development, which often takes from 10 to 15 or more years to get an idea to market. Drug development moves fast in La Jolla because it’s easier to generate the AIPs that propel good science and medicine. Inspired by success stories like JAK2 targeting in MF, researchers from academia and industry are partnering to build and occupy the Center for Novel Therapeutics (CNT; originally announced as the Center for Innovative Therapeutics). The CNT will incubate scientific discovery and then foster AIPs that speed development of clinical testing and therapeutics. The 110,000-square-foot CNT will rise in the UCSD Science Research Park, just east of the Moores Cancer Center. Teams of potential CNT developers, architects, contractors and consultants attended a mandatory Qualifiers Meeting in May. By June 10, the teams must submit their qualifications to develop the CNT, which is slated to open in July 2016. The CNT will house academia and industry tenants in wet and dry laboratories, including space for bioengineering and medicinal chemistry. It will house people who know how to develop clinical protocols, as well

as core facilities to support joint research. Several large labs from Moores will become CNT tenants. The scientific leaders of these labs have all been involved in AIPs. They believe in the CNT’s ability to facilitate and hasten AIPs that will help them get their discoveries into therapeutics that help patients as quickly as possible. It all comes together nicely — all of the pieces needed to create and develop lifesaving cancer therapeutics and technology under one roof in the CNT. In turn, the CNT is near clinical doctors and researchers at the NCI-designated comprehensive Moores Cancer Center (just across the street) and at UCSD Thornton Hospital and the Hospital for Cancer Care (walking distance) within the Jacobs Medical Center (scheduled to open in 2016). Nearby as well are Moores’ large bank of clinical tissue specimens and the UCSD Center for Advanced Laboratory Medicine. Whether within the same building (CNT), campus (UCSD), community (La Jolla) or city (San Diego), close proximity spurs invention, inspiration and innovation — in this case, in the form of AIPs. These partnerships are at the heart of accelerated drug development that makes life better in our community, the nation and the world. — Scott M.

New compound kills drug-resistant tuberculosis

T

uberculosis resurgence has become a global health menace with new TB cases occurring at a rate of roughly one per second. This translates to infection in about a third of the human population. In its active state, TB kills more than one million people worldwide each year. Effective TB therapy requires months or years of drug therapy, but many patients quit treatment early leading to drug-resistant, often untreatable TB strains. If treating active (replicating) TB wasn’t challenging enough, the bacteria frequently reverts to a dormant (nonreplicating) state and also creates attack-resistant cell colonies called biofilms. Finding a drug that clears infection quickly requires that it be effective against both replicating and non-replicating TB. An international team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has identified a new anti-TB compound that in cell culture tests killed more than 99.9 percent of ordinary, actively replicating TB bacteria within three weeks, and in combination with current TB drugs, killed 100 percent within that period. Combination therapy also showed strong effectiveness against drugresistant TB strains. And, against a highly fatal, South African “superbug” strain the new compound by itself had a kill rate of more than 99.999 percent within three weeks.

Tests in mice confirm the compound’s effectiveness. — Findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. News release at http://bit.ly/17ibJAq

Previously unknown requirement for brain development

A protein used by embryo cells, and recently found in many different types of cancer, apparently serves as a switch regulating metastasis — the spread of cancer — which is responsible for 90 percent of cancerrelated deaths. Researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center discovered the association between the protein known as ROR1 and the epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT), an embryogenesis process whereby cells migrate during early development and then grow into new organs. In the study, high-level expression of ROR1 in breast cancer cells were found to correlate to higher rates of relapse and metastasis in patients with breast adenocarcinoma, a cancer that originates in glandular tissue. Silencing ROR1 expression reversed EMT and inhibited the metastatic spread of breast cancer cells in animal models. — Findings appear in the journal Cancer Research.

In order to function properly, it is essential that cortical areas in the brain are mapped out correctly during development. Until now, it was through that this “architecture” is genetically pre-programmed with environmental input only playing a role later in development. Now comes word that scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have demonstrated that sensory regions in the brain develop in a fundamentally different way with genes creating only a rough lay-out of cortical areas. The surprise finding is that input from the thalamus, the main switching station in the brain for sensory information, is essential to developing the fine differentiation necessary for proper sensory processing. This was demonstrated in mouse mutants that disconnected the link between thalamus and cortex, after early cortical development was complete. Under this condition the primary and higher order visual areas failed to differentiate from one another as they should.

From map Lawsuit, a3 Hoping the matter does not have to go to court, Golia, on behalf of Byron Klemaske, a division leader for T.B. Penick, told La Jolla Light, “We want to be part of the solution not part of the problem.”He said they won’t have additional information “until we research more of what is happening and how we can best deal with the issues and try to resolve them.” Golia said T.B. Penick met with Coakley-Munk in February to discuss solution alternatives and possible remedies to her concerns with The Map’s condition (Golia said he couldn’t disclose what those solutions were). He said T.B. Penick then received an e-mail from Coakley-Munk indicating she would discuss the options provided and get back to him in April. The next T.B. Penick heard, he said, the lawsuit had been filed. Coakley-Munk said at another time their offer “wasn’t really helpful.” Addressing how or why the “permanent” Lithocrete may have crumbled, Golia said maintenance is an issue they would have to investigate. He said in June 2010, CoakleyMunk bought a three-page manual on how to maintain the project. “The warranty was based on (proper management) and there were some pretty specific things that had to be done because this is a project that needs to be addressed, you can’t just ignore it,” he said. Unable to comment on any other details, Golia said T.B. Penick would keep La Jolla Light updated as their investigation develops.

Thinking of Going Condo? Pros and Cons 1) Storage-For the most part you will find far less storage. You may have to pare down or rent a separate storage room if you are not ready to part with some things. 2) Outdoor space-If you like to garden and entertain outdoors, you may not have this ability with a condo. 3) Maintenance-Many condos have onsite maintenance personal for common areas but may also have people that can be hired to do repairs in your unit or to let other workers into your home when you are not home. This could be an added benefit for you. 4) Condo rules-Check to make sure that certain rules will not affect your ability to use your property as you see fit. Are their pet restrictions? Rental restrictions? Home based business restrictions? Parking restrictions? 5) Security-Keyed entries and sometimes doormen are common in many condos. You will also be closer to other people in case of emergencies.

various plankton) in different areas in different seasons,” explained CalCOFI’s David Wolgast, during a tour of the facility, noting that their research is used to establish catch quotas for sardine fishing. Addressing those in attendance, UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla said the collaborative research to take place at the MESOM lab is what the university is increasingly known for, which he said involves the removal of boundaries and bureaucracy that often slow the research process. “My job as chancellor is to make sure this bureaucracy in fact speeds up the process of collaboration,” Khosla said. “I think the existence, the creation of this building is going to have an impact not just for Scripps Institution of Oceanography, but for UCSD as a whole.” The MESOM lab was funded, in part, by $12 million research construction grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). That grant program was established to help fund new construction or expansion at 24 research facilities across the United States. Willie May, NIST’s associate director for laboratory programs, said the MESOM project was selected from a pool of 93 project applications. “Of those, we were only able to make three awards, and this was the first of those three,” May said. “That gives you an idea of how highly we considered your proposal.” The grants were awarded to facilities studying everything from marine ecology to quantum physics and earthquake simulation, he said. “We at NIST understand … that science progresses more or less in lockstep with our ability to measure the world around us,” May said, noting the “public good” that comes from investing in science and technology. “The oceans are, to date, one of the new frontiers for measuring science — a huge and hugely challenging environment

By Pat Sherman and aShley mackin An invitation-only dedication ceremony for Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s new Marine Ecosystem Sensing, Observation and Modeling (MESOM) laboratory drew a crowd on June 14. The three-story, 40,100-square-foot building is located directly across La Jolla Shores Drive from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) 240,000-squarefoot Southwest Fisheries Science Center building, which opened in April. During the ceremony, UC San Diego and Scripps’ officials heralded the collaborative nature of the work to be conducted at the new ocean research facilities. Motioning to the five-story Southwest Fisheries building, Scripps’ Interim Director Cathy Constable touted the “extraordinary scientific achievements that lie ahead” for both research organizations, adding that the MESOM lab would provide “greater interaction with our NOAA colleagues across the street.” “They have a great location there where they can supervise everything we do by looking down on us,” Constable quipped, noting Scripps’ and NOAA’s collaboration on the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) program, which will have a lab in the MESOM building. CalCOFI was formed in 1949 to study the sardine population collapse off the California coast. As the population rebounded, the program’s focus shifted to the general study of the marine environment off the coast, the monitoring of its living resources and indicators of El Niño and climate change. The lab conducts quarterly research cruises from San Diego as far north as San Francisco to collect data on ocean temperature, salinity, oxygen levels, plankton levels and other information at depths of up to 500 meters. “We’re trying to establish the health of the food chain and the relative amounts (of

Its design allows for natural light to illuminate 75 percent of the building spaces during the day, reducing the need for electric light. In addition, 20 percent of materials used in the MESOM lab construction are recycled, such as old blue jeans and scrap waste used as wall installation.

The building also includes a 61-kilowat, rooftop solar panel system owned and maintained by SDG&E’s Sustainable Communities Program. During the ceremony, SDG&E’s Chief Environmental Officer, Pam Fair, presented the MESOM project with the utility company’s Sustainable Communities Champion Award. “The electricity that’s produced by those solar panels goes directly onto the SDG&E grid to serve local customers and our electricity system,” she said, adding that the energy produced by the MESOM panels would be enough to power 40 homes and prevent the equivalent of 128,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere annually.

■ Labs: 12 ■ Offices: 15 ■ Total staff: 76 ■ Cost: $26.5 million ■ Notable: The building is on track to become the first research facility at UCSD to be awarded the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification. Chancellor Khosla said UCSD’s history in sustainability harkens back to its pioneering global warming researchers, Roger Revelle and Charles David Keeling. “Their work and their vision sowed the seeds for where we are today and we’ve been reaping this harvest many times over,” he said.

Refugee of the Year Ibrahim Mohammed told his story, which started in Iraq. He said he knew he and his family were not safe after receiving death threats. “I wasn’t safe at home and I wasn’t safe at work,” he said. At one point, someone left an envelope at his house with a bullet in it and a note reading, “This bullet cost me 10-cents, do you think your life is worth that much?” Mohammed and his family then moved to Syria, eventually making it to the United States. He is now studying to become a dentist and hopes to join Doctors Without Borders. For more information about the Alliance for African Assistance, visit alliance-for-africa.org

A Better Deal Tuxedo: High fashion and timeless style By Marti Gacioch For 16 years, the familyowned and operated A Better Deal Tuxedo store at 369 Bird Rock Ave. and La Jolla Blvd., has provided the best in high fashion suits, tuxedos and accessories for every occasion. “We fit customers ages 4 and up for everything from weddings to proms to special events, school dances, fundraisers and more,” said owner Jerry Klein. “Our customers include the musicians’ union, the San Diego Youth Symphony, the wait staff and bartenders at many of the city’s better restaurants and some of the

city’s top athletes and media people.” In a way, Klein joked that he had to return to Earth to enter the formalwear business. “In the late 1960s, I was working as an ironworker 20 stories up, in the Chicago wintertime, when I saw an ad to work in the formalwear business,” Klein said. “I applied with Gingiss Formal International; they hired me, and I loved the work.” Klein said he began managing the company’s different stores and helping set up new franchises across the country. He learned every facet of the formalwear business and

advanced rapidly. He was promoted to vice-president of the company within 10 years. By then he and his wife, Janet, had three daughters, and his frequent traveling limited family time, so he resigned and moved to California. Retirement proved brief for Klein, who said he really enjoyed and missed the formalwear business. He opened his current location, offering both tuxedo and suit sales and rentals, and specialized in personal service. In 2011, the International Formalwear Association voted A Better Deal Tuxedo the best store in the country.

IMMEDIATE CASH PAID For: Broken Jewelry · Scrap Gold Vintage & Estate Jewelry · Sterling Silverware · Coins · Currency

The entire inventory is on location, and over the years, the company expanded the store into adjoining storefronts to accommodate its increasing volume. Among the designer styles in stock are suits by Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Perry Ellis. “We have something for everybody’s budget, and since we have everything on-site, it makes it easier for people to choose our store because we have control over the quality of our products,” Klein said. “Our customers don’t have to wait for something to be delivered and hope it fits.” Klein said weddings make up about 70 percent of his business, and July and August are the biggest wedding months. A Better Deal Tuxedo plans an August sale of rental formalwear.

Kevin Rugee Architect updates historic Coronado mansion

K

evin Rugee Architect, Inc. has completed the restoration of a well-known two-story Italian Renaissance-style historic home in Coronado. The house was originally designed by Architect Reginald D. Johnson for Frederick B. Sherman in 1915. It is historically known as the Sherman Mansion and more commonly known to Coronado residents as the Darnell Mansion, after James and Barbara Darnell, the third owners of the residence. The original 5,200-square-foot, 16-room home is situated on a 28,000-square-foot lot. It has a stucco exterior and doublehipped roof with two chimneys at the center, and features a detached garage, swimming pool and tennis court. There are two recessed porches on the second story with columns and balustrades. The front entranceway is recessed and has a flat roof, supported by columns. The house is a symmetrical U-shape, with a rectangle main portion and recessed wings. In 2011 architect Rugee of Coronado was commissioned by the newest owners of the property to do a full interior remodel

and expansion of the home. The home now features a covered loggia and second floor balcony off of the newly configured master suite that opens up to the expansive backyard. Reconfiguration of the majority of the interior walls creates a modern open floor plan on the first floor, perfect for entertaining. Additionally, the home now features four large bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a study and art room. In order to preserve the historical integrity of the home, no original details were altered on the exterior street-facing elevations of the home. Rugee also took care to design the addition to reflect the original detailing. Kevin Rugee has more than 25 years experience in the architectural profession and is best known for his attention to detail. His appreciation for the historic element is apparent in both his renovation and new construction projects.

OPINION

Congressman Scott Peters ‘frustrated’ with D.C. complacency, Obama’s ‘disengagement’ By Steve Dreyer eeting Friday with members of the editorial board of MainStreet Media San Diego (owners of this newspaper), Congressman Scott Peters of La jolla said he is approaching the six-month mark of his first term with a handful of first impressions of Washington, D.C. He called his first six months both hectic and rewarding. Peters said he’s been able to forge productive legislative relationships with key congressional members, but that some of the attitudes within the Beltway leave him a bit puzzled. He says he’s frustrated by what he perceives to be an overall attitude of “acceptance and complacency” among his peers regarding the state of politics in the nation’s capital. However, Peters said he is somewhat hopeful that he and other freshmen members of Congress can nudge that process away from party partisanship toward a more consensusbuilding atmosphere. “We need to start fixing and stop fighting,” Peters said. Himself a Democrat, Peters added that he is “very frustrated” with the leadership style of President Barack Obama, declaring him to be “the most disengaged person you could imagine.” “I am very disappointed in him,” Peters said of the president. “We could really use his engagement.” Peters narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Brian Bilbray last november to represent the 52nd District, which extends from the coast to take in much of inland north County. He is a former San Diego City Council member and port commissioner. “San Diego is the home of collaborative

Street trash is lowering La Jolla’s ‘class’ rating Fellow residents, when is the last time you took a critical walk throughout our Village of La jolla? I cannot believe how much trash and cigarette butts are strewn along the sidewalks and gutters. It is old trash, too; you can tell that nothing has been picked up or swept off or hosed down in ages. You can see old chewing gum stains spotting our sidewalks. It is really a mess and, yes, it is just disgusting. Furthermore, if you drive Torrey Pines or Route 52 (the trash along the roadsides) is unbelievable. Thankfully, the Chodorow Team of Realtors provided funds to clean up part of Route 52 and I thank them for that. With so many complaints about the seals, the foul smells and the Mt. Soledad cross, we are losing sight of our Village “jewel.” The City of San Diego has no money to throw at this problem, so the citizens and shopkeepers are left with the job. In europe, shopkeepers sweep and hose down their own portion of sidewalks and gutters every day. My husband and I recently visited Carmel, Calif. The streets are immaculate and the shopkeepers are so proud of their little immaculate Village. Recently, a prominent Realtor, attending a

Scott Peters during a visit to La Jolla Light in 2012 to discuss his candidacy for u.S. Congress with its editorial board. File cooperation,” Peters said. “In Washington, it’s more hierarchical. The first thing they want to know there is, ‘What school did you attend?’ and ‘What’s your title?’ ” During his first six months, Peters said he has focused on the federal budget, the economy and clean technology. San Diego, he said, is the “Silicon Valley of the military” and that the commandant of the Marine Corps is very interested in developing ways to use solar energy in the field as a replacement for petroleum. Peters has also been involved in helping veterans adjust to civilian life. Peters said there seems to be “a lot of motivation to do immigration (reform)” in Congress and to achieve some kind of tax code reform.

OUR READERS WRITE wedding in La jolla said she was shocked at how “dirty and tacky” our Village had become. I had to agree with her. Wake up La jollans! Look at the trash around our post office, CVS, Vons, our banks and in our planters (some of which are full of weeds, too). Look everywhere and you will find trash everywhere. Let’s open our eyes and personally get to work cleaning it up, please! Marie Newton 19-year resident of La JoLLa

Where does the ‘seals’ money go? The City of San Diego seems to have a plan now to manage Children’s Pool/Casa Beach as a public beach and marine mammal area. There is both consideration for public beach access and the marine mammals that use the beach — no thanks to the many so-called environmental organizations that used the Children’s Pool/Casa Beach marine mammal controversy to commit fraud by telling the public they were helping to protect the marine mammals at this beach. A number of organizations advertised that they were protecting the seals at the Children’s Pool

earlier this month Peters introduced the “Strengthening the Resiliency of Our nation on the Ground (STROnG) Act.” He said the act will save taxpayers money over the long run by having the federal government be more proactive, rather than reactive, in providing disaster relief funding in the wake of wildfires, hurricanes and drought. He also called on leaders in both the House and Senate to take definitive action to stop student loan interest rates from doubling on july 1. In the coming months, Peters said his office would conduct a series of local workshops designed to help businesses of all sizes prepare for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare. His “Congress on Your Corner” town hallstyle public forum will be coming to the uTCarea in july, he said. The congressman said he would launch a reelection effort early next year. However, he did have a few comments regarding his first declared Republican opponent, former City Councilman Carl DeMaio of Rancho Bernardo. “Carl is not right for the district,” Peters said. noting DeMaio’s reluctance to compromise and his penchant to achieve political goals through ballot initiatives, Peter said, “You can’t do a national ballot initiative.” Voter registration in the 52nd District is roughly one-third Democratic, one-third Republican and one-third independent. Peters said he wants voters to disregard political labels and study the qualifications and accomplishments of candidates. “I’m not nancy Pelosi, Donna Frye or Bob Filner. I am what I am. We need to break through the labels.”

and that they needed financial contributions to support their efforts. These organizations took in a great deal of money and did nothing for the City of San Diego or the marine mammals at the Children’s Pool/Casa Beach area. Let us hope that the regulatory arm of the Internal Revenue Service gets a chance to review this fraud. Kent Trago La JoLLa

Murals have added color to the Village Kudos to the La jolla Community Foundation for the series of murals in the Village! Some of them have been wonderful — creative, colorful, stunning; others I have been glad to see disappear. not everyone is going to like all of the murals or even agree that they are art but, if it is true that good art causes conversations, then the Foundation has succeeded wildly because people are talking about them. If you don’t like a mural take a deep breath; it won’t be there forever. If you love one, drop the artist a note and tell them. Susan Graceman La JoLLa

Zero emissions is a wise goal

Story helped spread the word

Mayor Filner: Recently you suggested a great idea for a bumper sticker: it would say 0% trash, 100% renewable energy and 0% carbon emissions. Those are laudable objectives and California is attempting to make your bumper sticker a reality. The California legislature in 2007 passed AB 118, a bill proposed by San Diego’s Christine Kehoe, which encouraged investments in clean technologies and advanced vehicle and fuel incentive programs. SB 11 and AB 8, now before the state legislature, will extend these provisions to 2023. The Senate has passed its bill (SB 11) 32-5. The Assembly bill, AB 8, will be voted on this week. One company, Transpower, that has been the beneficiary of this investment, produces zero-emission electric trucks. Soon these trucks will be used to haul cargo containers in and around the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and, in the process, clean the air. Investments like these, which I am sure you support, will help us get closer to the zero emissions objective in your bumper sticker. Art Cooley Founding trustee, environmental deFense Fund la jolla

More on La Jolla’s WWII ‘pill boxes’ When I was young, I climbed through an old coastal defense battery (artillery battery) in La Jolla at the dead end of Avenida Mañana. I was curious to know if it still existed, so I did some research and found that it still exists but is on private property. I remember seeing that the owner of the property had framed in a window in the main gun port about 30-plus years ago and over time, the vegetation had overgrown the battery site. The site consisted of three underground concrete rooms. Two of the rooms were connected by an underground staircase. One of the rooms had a raised dais and horizontal artillery port that, judging by the size, had once accommodated a fairly large artillery cannon. There was a third separate underground bunker that had been filled in with dirt and was inaccessible and was not connected to the other two rooms. The locals referred to them as the La Jolla pill boxes. I found a government diagram from the 1940s showing the position of the coastal defense sites and this one was designated site “Neptune” as listed at cdsg.org/pacific.htm A resident who lives below the battery confirmed to me that the battery is still there but overgrown with vegetation and on private property. It is totally obscured from view, but it’s still there, a piece of San Diego World War II history. Bob Straith san diego

Cormorants must go to get rid of the stench Cormorant colonies are the most foul-smelling areas you can possibly imagine. Besides their overwhelming inescapable stench, they destroy habitant for other sea birds, and their populations multiple very rapidly. Unfortunately, the laws subject everyone to their stench, unabated. This will not end well for La Jolla, as within five years their swelling population will cause the entire downtown area to smell like Hades. Good luck. Paula Paua via lajollalight.Com

By conducting a thorough vehicle inspection, motorists can determine how road-ready their vehicles are so they can have any problems fixed before hitting the road for a summer vacation spot: n Check the brake system and make sure the battery connection is clean, tight and corrosion-free. n Check filters and fluids, including engine oil, antifreeze/ coolant, windshield washer and power steering, brake and transmission fluids. Dirty air filters can waste gas and cause the engine to lose power. n Check the hoses and belts and replace if they become cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or show signs of excessive wear. These are critical to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air conditioning, power steering and the cooling system. n Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread. Underinflated tires reduce a vehicle’s fuel economy and uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. n Schedule a tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy. Rich White Car Care CounCil

FBI agents served a search warrant at this La Jolla residence at 5848 Soledad road June 19, at which time 37-yearold Amir mokayef was taken into custody. Files, jewelry, an $11,000 painting and an Audi sports car valued at $150,000 were among the items seized. Pat Sherman

The homepage for machosports.com was removed from the Internet June 19.

FBI raids La Jolla home in alleged gambling ring By PAT ShErmAn Soledad Road residents were surprised last week to learn that a neighbor in their quiet residential community is an alleged key player in a gambling ring, who pocketed millions in illegal gains and may have been involved in violent threats and intimidation. FBI agents served search and arrest warrants throughout Southern California early Wednesday morning, June 19, as part of an ongoing investigation. The agents arrested 37-year-old Amir Mokayef at his home at 5848 Soledad Road, also seizing boxes of files, an Apple computer, jewelry, a painting with an attached appraisal of $11,000, and an Audi R8 sports car (with a value of nearly $150,000). The car is owned by Marina Del Rey resident Joseph Barrios, also indicted in the scheme. In all, authorities seized more than $3 million from Mokayef’s home, including $67,000 in cash FBI agents found in the home, and more than $28,000 in financial and bank accounts, though a federal prosecutor told the La Jolla Light assets were still being counted. Four people were arrested abroad and 13 others were arrested in Southern California in connection with the ring. Those arrested — working mainly in California and Peru — were charged with operating an illegal Internet and telephone gambling business called “Macho Sports,” the U.S.

Amir mokayef Attorney’s Office said. Officials called the gambling ring “violent,” and participants allegedly took millions of dollars in illegal sports wagers over the last decade in the San Diego and Los Angeles areas. During a detention hearing on Friday, June 21, Magistrate Judge William McCurine Jr. agreed to allow Mokayef to post $1 million in bond, to be secured by his La Jolla home and a second residence. At press time, Mokayef was to be released from jail as early as Tuesday. According to U-T San Diego, Mokayef’s wife, mother, sister and brother, who all

Once their declining

appeared in court, agreed to co-sign the bond payment agreement. Mokayef will be required to wear a GPS device, seek legitimate work, avoid contact with gambling connections and travel only within Southern California. U.S. Attorney Andrew Schopler told the Light Mokayef will stay in Newport Beach, closer to where his wife works, in a home he began leasing several months ago. According to Schopler, a FBI agent met Mokayef in a San Diego Sports bar in 2011 during a Monday night football game. “(The agent) pretended to be talking to his own bookie while he was sitting in the bar,” Schopler said. “He pretended like he couldn’t get a line on a game … and Mokayef then approached him and said, ‘Hey, I can handle your action.’” The interaction led to a three-month wiretap of Mokayef’s phone, which found that he acted as a bookie in charge of a network of sub-bookies, each with their own customers. “They had a tier of collectors who were more low key and they would have another tier that were more violent,” Schopler said. “There were wiretap calls where they talk about how they would go beat somebody up. They talked about a particular collector who had pistolwhipped people and kidnapped people. … There were other calls where they talk about going to intimidate people in their places of work.”

condition became apparent, the arborist was called in. His efforts have appeared to help some of the trees at the south end of the property. The palms elsewhere on the site are doing great.” Palm trees across from the Prospect Street museum at St. James By-the-Sea Church were removed last year, following initial speculation that they had been poisoned. The health of MCASD’s trees began to wane at about the same time, Masterson said, noting “suspicious activity” related to St. James’ palms, including copper spikes found nailed to the trunks of the trees. “The idea that all 30-plus trees on both sides of the street would suddenly die of poor maintenance after decades of successful growth cannot be ruled out, but it does seem unlikely,” she said. “We also had some soil tested in May through a private lab. This sample was collected by security after they noticed a white powdery substance around the

base of the trees last summer. The sample proved to contain an active substance that was either an herbicide or pesticide, but the test was not able to determine which type.” Replacement of the two palms this month cost the museum $6,000. Masterson said replacing the entire row of palms in front of the museum would cost around $33,000. “Whatever caused these beautiful trees to die, it’s incredibly unfortunate for the museum,” she said. “Replacing them comes at a substantial cost that was not budgeted for. We take great pride in our building and property and as a good neighbor we will do whatever we have to in order to maintain its beautiful aesthetic.” According to California’s vandalism law (penal code section 594), when damages to property total $400 or more, the crime could potentially result in a felony conviction with a prison term of up to three years, a fine of up to $10,000 and formal probation.

Safety First

NFL, La Jolla Pop Warner football team up on Heads Up By Ashley MAckin he La Jolla Pop Warner youth football association is joining forces with uSA Football and the national Football League to launch the Heads up Football program to make youth football safer to play. Scott Rosecrans with La Jolla Pop Warner will represent the Southern California region at the first Heads up forum in Ohio this July. La Jolla Pop Warner uses coaches certified through uSA Football, a national, independent training and certification program for coaches at all levels. uSA Football plans to use the Heads up method at the La Jolla chapter, and the hope is to enact the program nationwide for all ages. Rosecrans said news of concussions and the subsequent effects coming from the nFL is one reason why this program is so important, but improving safety in general is the real goal. “We feel that safety is a paramount concern not only for parents (and players), but for us as an organization,” Rosecrans said. “If we can’t provide the utmost safety for a player we are remiss in our duties. It should be a safe, fun, enjoyable environment for all those participating.” Injuries and safety, he said, concern parents because nFL football is the only form of the sport most people see. “The size, strength, speed and impact you

up Tackle system. The Heads up Tackle system provides five techniques to use in each tackle to maximize a player’s body strength and minimize the impact to the head and neck. The nFL has signed on as an official supporter and nFL coaches are already praising the approach Heads up Football takes.

Bishop’s Junior wins at tennis tourney

K

elly Shaffer, 17, a student at The Bishop’s School, has reached the final round of the national Hard Court Championships at the Balboa Tennis Club in San Diego, receiving a uSTA Silver Ball award. In the women’s singles championship, top-seeded Megan McCray of Oceanside overcame a difficult first set and defeated third-seeded Shaffer 6-4 and 6-1, to win the title. “I was very happy to get to win other matches in this tournament, “ Shaffer said. “each match seemed to get more comfortable for me. This was my first national-level tournament back after a three-month injury, so I am happy I made it this far. Megan is a well respected player and I am thrilled to have had the chance to compete with her.”

Shaffer trains in San Diego with coach jon Hoffpauir and competes within the Southern California section and on the national level. She is ranked sixth in San Diego (in the girl’s 18 category) and 16th in Southern California (in the Women’s Open category). She was recently named “2012 Most Improved Player” for the San Diego District Tennis Association. Of note, Shaffer’s great-aunt is the famed tennis player, Helen Wills Moody Roark (1905-1998); winner of 31 Grand Slam Titles and two Olympic Medals. —Complete tournament results at: http://tennislink. usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament. aspx?T=125688

“It’s the first of its kind,” Rosecrans said. “They are bringing in representatives and player safety coaches to aid in the training and discussions going on. It should be a great opportunity to see what others have to say and what is available to our program.” While Rosecrans is representing Southern California on the issues, La jolla Pop Warner coaches will be in a separate training to learn the methods of the Heads up Football program in preparation for the start of football practice. “When we start practice on Aug. 1, all of our coaches will be trained in the various aspects that they will pass on to the kids and their parents,” he said. “The parents need to understand that this is what their child is going to be taught.” La jolla Pop Warner serves 180 players, ages 5-14, and Rosecrans said learning to play football at a young age will lead to fewer injuries than if learning the sport in teen years. In addition to implementing the Heads up Football program, La jolla Pop Warner recently purchased $37,000 in new protective equipment.

By Will BoWen rab your baggies, board shorts and bikinis and stop by the Riford Library Art Gallery for a summer exhibit that celebrates local surfers, artists, magical beaches and surfing hot spots. The show, produced in part through the generosity of the Friends of the La Jolla Library, opens Sunday, June 30 with a meet-and-greet from 2 to 4 p.m. Guests will be able to view the work of 12 proficient artists, who also like to surf. There will be paintings, drawings, photographs and surfboards on display through Sept. 15. “Wavelength La Jolla” is the idea of art curator Maura Walters, who also works at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. The exhibition theme, according to the library art committee, is capturing “the beauty or feeling of a moment in the water or on the beach.” It’s all about the work of “artists who have moved through the water in ways most of us will never experience. It’s about their love of the ocean.” Here’s a list of the participating artists: n Norm Daniels will exhibit impressionist paintings of surf station wagons (woodies), VW vans, sailboats, surfers, umbrellas and island scenes. n Paul Elder has designed surfboard logos and art for Rusty Surfboards and created graphics for Ballast Point Brewery, H&M Landing sportfishing and Bloody Decks Fishing Company. n William Feeney is known for his sculpture and performance art.

Let Inga Tell You

Duck, duck, duck ... poop!

A

La Jolla Cultural Partners

mere month ago I conducted what I call a Preemptive Rodential Offensive, denuding my orange tree of 700-plus oranges to avert our annual summer rat invasion. A rat accompli, the only fauna I’d now have to deal with was our visiting grand dog, Winston. That was until my husband remarked a week later, “Do you hear quacking?” We’ve lived in our house for decades and have never had a single duck in our pool, but suddenly a mallard pair, whom we dubbed Quick and Quack (a nod to NPR), decided to make our pool their personal lake. Winston, of course, went nuts when he saw them but they were (literally) unflappable. “Have at it, big boy,” they seemed to say with barely disguised ennui. At first we were totally charmed by them. Ducks! How fun! But by day three we couldn’t help but notice that our pool area and pool were sporting alarming amounts of duck excrement giving new meaning to the term “poop deck.” With regret, I called a local wildlife agency for advice about their relocation. I quickly discovered that wildlife agencies see ducks differently than poolowners. My wildlife person surmised that

they had created a nest somewhere in our backyard. “What luck!” she said. “Baby ducks are so cute! “ I nervously inquired about the gestation for duck eggs and she said 29 days. I thought I could probably live with 29 days of ducks until she added, “and then another 10 weeks until they can fly.” Definitely, she says, have to keep the dog out of the backyard once the baby ducks are born. And btw, we’ll need to put a wood plank at the shallow end of the pool so the baby ducks can get out. I said, what if the toddler grandchildren want to come and swim? And she said, “Oh, they’ll just LOVE the baby ducks!” One got the impression she was seriously focused on the innate adorableness of infant avians and not on 1) we have a duckling-eating dog 2) we have gardeners with loud mowers incompatible with baby ducks and 3) we (sort of) have a life. At first the wildlife lady had an ally in Olof, who was totally into the whole miracle of birth thing. That was until he heard that a typical clutch is 12-13 ducklings. Even he had to admit that 15 ducks pooping in our pool for 10 weeks was going to be a biohazard from which we were not likely to recover. It was also mentioned that once

‘Quick’ and ‘Quack’ enjoy a cruise in Inga’s pool. you make them feel at home, they come back every year in perpetuity. When the pool guy showed up a week later he nearly collapsed on the pool deck weeping when he saw the pool. Ducks, he maintained, are harder to get rid of than herpes. “Can you actually get rid of herpes?” I said. “No!” he practically sobbed. “And you can’t get rid of ducks either!” He’d had two other clients with “duck issues” where they’d tried everything under the sun (other than a .22). Makes the pool very hard to clean not to mention extremely unappetizing to swim in. He said we’d look back on the rats as good news. It appeared after two weeks that the ducks didn’t actually have a nest here; they just liked the locale. I quickly learned that we are hardly the first people in La Jolla to have this problem. No less than the pricey piscine of the venerable Beach and Tennis

Club has been mallardially afflicted. The Internet was full of duck eradication ideas, like buying a six-foot long plastic alligator pool toy to float on the pool. But this suggestion was followed by 24 posts of “Doesn’t work” and even one photo of ducks floating on the alligator. Many of the suggestions required crisscrossing the pool with fishing line or rope so that the ducks couldn’t access the pool. But you can’t either. Dozens of other non-lethal suggestions involved bright shiny objects, fake snakes, a product called King’s Duck Solution (“ a secret blend of herbs and spices that will naturally remove ducks” but probably contains strychnine), and even hiring a falconer. I had a feeling the falconer was out of our price range. Ultimately I went low tech: the hose. At first I just sprayed a shower in their direction but they just swam over and preened themselves in it, as if to say, “OK, a little to the left.” So I turned it to jet mode and directed it as close to them as possible without actually hitting them. (We were treating them no differently than we do houseguests who overstay their welcome.) They took off immediately, but I heard telltale quacking 10 minutes later. They seem to be reappearing less and less, however; days go by that we don’t see them. In some ways we’ll miss them. But we have a whole lot of duck poop on the deck to remember them by. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach Inga by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

Ham’s heirs remodel his ‘lighthouse’ on the bay By Kelley Carlson fter a recent $3.5 million renovation, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse is back in the spotlight. While it retains its classic early California design, the restaurant has a new interior, bayfront bar, outdoor dining deck and wedding site, along with an updated menu. “My father, Tom Ham, built Tom Ham’s Lighthouse in 1971,” said Susie Baumann, who co-owns the restaurant with her husband, Larry. “This was his dream, to build a restaurant that highlighted the history of San Diego. I think he would be pleased with the outcome of this remodel. The genius of our architect, Graham Downes, was that he could see what an older building could be.” The history is apparent from the moment you walk into the lobby of this functioning lighthouse, known as Beacon No. 9 on U.S. Coast Guard nautical maps. There are antique model ships behind glass and a shiny USCG 1893 Fog Bell stationed near the stairway. Patrons can peek through windows into the new keg room full of local brews before ascending to the dining room on the second floor. Along the walls of the grand stairway are multicolored panes of stained glass and illustrations of maps and nautical charts from the 1900s to the present. The upstairs landing opens into a spacious room that displays artifacts like shipwheels and oars, and has large panes of glass that provide unobstructed views of San Diego Bay, the Coronado Bridge and downtown San Diego’s skyline.

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. Wild salmon is served with an english pea puree, beluga lentils and pork belly. To the right is the dining room with tables next to the windows and “elevated” booths in the back, including a private “Sweetheart Table” for two. “You get a view no matter where you sit,” said Andy Baumann, who joins his sister and manages the restaurant with his brother Grant. On the left side of the space is the bar, which faces the bay and contains a collection of ship heads. Guests can slurp on $1 oysters during happy hour, gaze at the city as it lights up after sunset, root for their favorite sports teams on two TVs, and relax with mellow melodies while quaffing a craft beer. There are 32 brews on tap — 27 of them local — including Beacon No. 9, a light beer exclusively created for Tom Ham’s by Ballast Point. There’s also an extensive wine list, offered by the glass and bottle, and specialty cocktails such as the signature Saucy Sally, a citrus-flavored libation with light rum,

■ This week’s recipe: Tom Ham’s Pan-Roasted Wild King Salmon with beluga lentils and English pea puree Chambord and lemon verbena. Outside is a heated dining deck that extends over the ocean, bordered by infinity glass. On Wednesday through Aug. 7, it’s a hot spot to watch sailboats fill the bay for the annual Beer Can Races, while sitting in the cool shade. Most of the menu consists of seafood, delivered fresh daily. One of the lunch crowd favorites is the Crab BLT with heirloom tomato, butter lettuce and peppered bacon on brioche toast. “The minute you bite into it, the

bread condenses, it’s so soft,” Andy Baumann said. At dinner, many people start off their courses with an appetizer, such as Calamari with honey, lime and chili or the smoky Grilled Octopus with olive, confit tomato and sauce vierge. For the main dish, there is pan-roasted Wild Salmon in an English pea puree with beluga lentils and pork belly; Linguini and Clams with green onion and tomato, covered in a white wine sauce; Lobster Bouillabaisse with clams, mussels, scallops, fish and pieces of toasted baguette soaking in a saffron broth; and Executive Chef Lance Repp’s personal favorite, House Made Linguini noodles with uni butter, paddlefish roe, chive and pecorino cheese. A non-seafood entrée to note is the Jidori Half-Brick Chicken with wild mushroom risotto in pan jus. Among the desserts offered are Mango Cheesecake and Almond Brown Butter Cake with goat cheese Chantilly and cherry ginger compote. Reservations are recommended at Tom Ham’s and almost required for the popular Sunday brunch, which includes lobster claws, crab legs, an omelet station, pasta station and prime rib. Furthermore, the establishment hosts special events in its three banquet spaces — the California Room, Harbor View Room and Private Dining Room. And it has a new wedding ceremony site with an arch created by local artist Christopher Puzio, which contains 2,000 individual aluminum rings and frames the downtown San Diego skyline.

FROM 10 questiOns, B1 At the time, he worked on the radar and the Phoenix Missile for the F-14 Tomcat at NAS Miramar. We lived in an old Spanish house on the north side of Kolmar Street just a couple of blocks from WindanSea that we rented from my father’s Naval Academy roommate, Capt. Richard Martin and his wife, Peggy. I attended first grade at La Jolla Elementary School. We moved to Palos Verdes before the second grade and I grew up there, but I always had great memories of La Jolla — especially riding my surf mat in the WindanSea Womp! My wife, Jeanine, attended SDSU and I attended USD, and we both fell in love with La Jolla. So, after MY first stint on active duty in the Marine Corps, Jeanine came to La Jolla in search of our dream home. She found a little beach cottage in Bird Rock and turned it into the house of our dreams. We’ve lived in La Jolla since 1998 and plan to stay for a long time! What might you improve in the area? La Jolla could be a little more accepting of change and new ideas. Look at change in a positive manner! Who or what inspires you? I am humbled and honored to serve as the Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 506 at the La Jolla United Methodist Church. The Troop will turn 50 years old in 2014 and I’m just the latest in a long line of great volunteers who have served our Troop. I am so fortune to get to work with 40 Boy Scouts who inspire me everyday! I just watched a crew of 11- to 15-yearold Scouts backpack 37 miles and climb nine peaks, each over 10,000 feet high, in the San Gorgonio Wilderness. The Scouts worked together as a team and kept a positive attitude throughout the trek. That is inspiring!

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My perfect dinner party would include: Lord Robert Baden-Powell (founder of Boy Scouting), President Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, Edmund Hillary (first man to climb Mt. Everest), Ernest Shackleton (Antarctic explorer), Yvon Chouinard (Yosemite climbing legend and founder of Patagonia clothing), Captain Joe Foss (Marine Corps World War II Ace and Medal of Honor recipient at Guadalcanal) and David Frapwell. What are you reading? I recently read “To Be Brave” by Royal Robbins. Royal Robbins was one of the original Yosemite Climbers and he credits Scouting with setting him on the right path in life. Very inspiring! What is it that you most dislike? When a Leader lacks a moral compass. What is your most-prized possession? I prize my wife, my kids, my health, and the ability to travel the world. What do you do for fun? I love all outdoor adventures — backpacking, cycling, skiing, surfing, canoeing, swimming, climbing — you name it. Any time you have to sign a waiver, you know it is going to be fun! If I get to do it in an exotic location, even better! What is your motto or philosophy of life? “Nothing succeeds like perseverance!” And, of course, “Be prepared!” What would be your dream vacation? Backpacking in the High Sierra — the closest you can get to heaven on Earth — and traveling in Southeast Asia.

ICAM 2013: Where new media is born Let’s Review By Will BoWen t’s surprising that you don’t see many entrepreneurs shopping around for some new technology to fund at UC San Diego’s Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts & Music (ICAM) presentations. The productions occur on the last day of spring quarter each year and are really the place to see the latest developments, trends and realizations in computing and the arts. For the last five months, ICAM students have been working on their Senior Thesis Project, which is their stepping stone to graduate school or a job in the new media marketplace. “The projects of our students range from pure research, through computer games, all the way to art installations and performances,” said Visual Arts Professor Brett Stalbaum, who co-directs the program with Music Professor Peter Otto. “This is where you really see innovation,” Otto added. “It isn’t really happening in the game companies out there, as you might expect, but in student projects like these at ICAM.” “I have put every spare minute into my project,” said Wesley Hawkins, who single-handedly built and programmed his own combat simulator video game. “This is my fifth year at UCSD. I spent three years studying chemical engineering before

I made the switch because I finally realized that I wanted to make some ‘fun’ stuff; I consider myself a fun-gineer!” Hawkins constructed an army-green wooden cockpit, the size of a VW bug, and adorned the interior with a video screen, computer and controls, some of which came out of a Honda Prelude that he and his girlfriend tore apart at the junkyard.

“This is the Soviet version of the game. It’s big and heavy!” joked Hawkins. You climb inside the cockpit and play a video game that takes place on a mining planet, where you are inside a converted transformer-like salvage robot that has been armed to fight bandits who are raiding the planet. Hawkins built all the hardware, wrote the software computer program and drew

all the graphic art by himself. This is quite a feat because a game like this usually requires a team effort with many people involved in the various aspects. Fellow ICAM student Nick Wolford used two arduino devices, clear PVC pipe, lacrosse balla and LCD lights to create a new style of hand-held toy, which he calls a “Techno Icosahedron.” Modeled after a geodesic dome, the toy will play music and flash different light sequences as you spin

The Music Department gave Gehrich an award for “Best Composition Student” this year. Sophie Dowd constructed a four-by-four foot white box and projected different visual images on each of the five sides of the box using three external film projectors. She did the filming and also wrote the accompanying musical score. Otto called the piece “sublime” and encouraged Dowd to place it in an art gallery as an installation piece. David Lopez de Arenosa closed out the evening’s presentations by setting up as a band for computer, guitars and voice. He sang and played while the computer mixed and transformed his presentation to create a very beautiful sonic environment. “Five or 10 years ago a student could do a part of a project, such as a computer game,” Professor Otto observed. “But now students have the skill and mindset

to build the container, write the program, and create the music and artwork involved. They are now multi-talented and multi-tasking. They can do the whole thing themselves!” Professor Stalbaum noted that the department was “proud our major is adept at filling the top graduate programs in art and technology, and in industry, where our grads work at companies ranging from Sony to Yahoo.” Otto also noted that for the future, the plan is to help students bring their ideas to fruition in the marketplace. He said Larry Smarr, who heads up California Institute of Technology (Calit2) which supports ICAM student work has stated the next step is to build relations with entrepreneurs and game companies to shrink the gap between conception and manifestation of a product in the marketplace from six years to six months. “Right here, in this classroom, we are inventing the future of media!” Otto proclaimed.

Breathe in slowly …

La Jolla Community Center offers new meditation class

Meditation teacher Wendy stuart (at her Fay Avenue office) also guides classes at the la Jolla community center. Ashley MAckin

By Ashley MAckin When most people think about meditation, they picture someone in white, sitting cross-legged on the beach. Certified meditation instructor Wendy Stuart, through her new meditation class at the La Jolla Community Center, hopes to give participants techniques for meditating anyplace, anytime and wearing anything they want. “Wendy participated in our health fair this year and the minute I met her, I saw she had a warm presence and wanted to help people. I thought she’d be a great addition to the center’s roster of classes and instructors,” said Nancy Walters, executive director at La Jolla Community Center. “This class will fulfill the need of members looking for a holistic approach to balance, relaxation and healing.” Stuart’s class clarifies the things that meditation is — and is not. She said people have different hesitations about trying meditation, and many are based on misinformation. The “biggie,” she said, is that the act of meditation may conflict with religious beliefs. During Stuart’s guided meditation sessions, she insists people use any words, images or deities they wish to make them more comfortable. “If you don’t like how I (reference deities), bring in (that imagery) your own way.

Wendy Stuart’s Meditation Classes ■ When: 10 a.m. Thursdays ■ Where: La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. ■ Cost: $10 members, $15 non-members for the one-hour class ■ Registration: (858) 459-0831 or ljccinfo@gmail.com

What is Meditation? ■ Meditation is a practice in which an individual trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness to realize some benefit. The term refers to a broad variety of practices that include techniques designed to promote relaxation, build internal energy or life force and develop compassion, love, patience, generosity and forgiveness. — Wikipedia

You can say ‘angels’ or ‘Jesus’ or ‘Mother Mary’ or ‘Buddha’ — whatever words make you feel happy and safe — to supplement what I’m saying,” Stuart said. Another block people put up to meditation is telling themselves they can’t do it. “There are those who say, ‘I know I can’t break patterns in my head. I’ve tried and I can’t do it,’ “ she said. “But I have methods I use to assist these folks and they see that they can (meditate).” Some of the words involved with meditation also make people nervous — words like “pagan,” “Celtic,” “Druid” and “energy healing” — she said. In her classes these words are used as historical

reference and not as theistic suggestions. Lastly, Stuart said people worry over the idea of being vulnerable during meditation, which is why her primary objective is to make people feel safe. A class starts with Stuart getting an idea of how the group is feeling — whether they’ve had a stressful week or mellow week — and while she encourages people to talk, it is never required. “People will come in with similar energies most of the time,” she said. “If a group gathers, there’s a reason.” She then tailors the meditation session to the needs of the group.

The gallery will be featured in a special annual issue of the magazine showcasing the galleries making the biggest impact on the art world.

From meditation, B10 As practiced by Native Americans and Druids, Stuart creates a circle of energy and draws upon the four elements. She explained these elements represent different energies and can contribute to what meditators hope to accomplish by being there. “Fire” represents movement, change, purpose and passion; “Water” represents relaxation, a feeling of melting and expansion; “Earth” represents centering, stability, grounding and security; “Air” represents releasing stress and pain, bringing in clarity and the ego. Sometimes during a class, Stuart guides the class through visualization meditations, such as going to a place in nature, imagining a conflict being resolved, sending positivity energy to a situation or building confidence for the coming week. Stuart said each person meditates differently and will respond to different things, so she changes the class each week. One of the few constants, she said, is honoring the six aspects of the self. “There is the ‘spiritual,’ the ego, the ‘physical,’ the ‘soul,’ the ‘emotional’ and the ‘mental’ self. We try to honor each part,” she said. She asks, “When the mind wanders, is it due to an emotional, mental or physical distraction?”

That self-awareness, Stuart said, is what makes La Jollans receptive to her practice. After teaching meditation at community colleges (Palomar and Grossmont) and the School of Healing Arts, Stuart opened an office on Fay Avenue last year. “This is a community that knows who they are, and they are willing to keep working at themselves … and actually see the significance of being centered and seeing what

more can be,” she said. “They are not afraid to try and I think that’s pretty cool.” To skeptics, she insists, “Meditation can seem overwhelming, but when you meditate a little bit at a time, you can slowly bring it into your daily life.” She said some of the benefits include feeling happier, becoming a better communicator, experiencing more restful sleep, feeling more in charge and being more forgiving.

Avant-garde festival comes to San Diego

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt In the summer of 1947, when the first Edinburgh International Festival took place in Scotland’s capital to showcase performing arts, eight theater companies not included in the festivities presented performances on the side. Over the years, this Fringe Festival has grown to huge proportions as an open-access arts event that features thousands of performers from around the world and sells more than a million tickets every year. The Edinburgh Fringe has inspired dozens of similar festivals. Now San Diego is

that includes representatives from local arts organizations like Broadway San Diego, San Diego Visual Arts Network, San Diego Film Festival, Street Scene and Playwrights Project, The first annual San Diego Fringe is aiming to be the most engaging, electric and exciting arts festival in Southern California. Katherine Harroff, artistic director of circlecircledotdot, a community-based theater group, has been with the Fringe from the start, about a year ago. “Kevin Patterson, the executive producer of the Fringe, asked if I’d like to help out, since I’d helped start the first Phoenix Fringe Festival in 2008,” said Harroff, who is now press coordinator, and is also codirecting a performance. “With three main venues and a half-dozen others, our goal this year is just to make it all happen,” she said. “But we’re hoping to pave the way to a really major festival here.” Edinburgh, it turns out, is one of San Diego’s sister cities. With the luck of the Scottish, maybe our Fringe will end up as wildly successful as theirs.

Picnics are summer’s portable party

E

verybody loves a picnic (especially those pesky ants) — whether it be sharing crusty bread, cheese and grapes with friends on a canoe; eating box lunches on the beach with the kids; or a romantic tête-à-tête along the lake sipping wine and savoring caviar blinis and other gourmet treats sumptuously displayed from a bamboo picnic basket. Executing a divine picnic is truly an art form. Although we missed International Picnic Day (June 18), we still have the rest of the summer, including July 4th to celebrate. Imported from France The French lay a solid claim as any to the origin of the word “picnic.” Etymologists believe it is derived from the French, “pique-nique,” the verb “piquer,” meaning “to pick or peck,” and the rhyming suffix “nique,” which means “trifling thing or bagatelle.” Two sandwiches shy … Sandwiches, hands down, are the most iconic and perfect picnic food. They are portable, low maintenance in terms of serving and utensil use, and clean up well. They also appeal to a wide range of tastes (both savory and sweet), as there are more

sandwich amalgams than license plate combinations. Also, a sandwich properly constructed provides a complete meal (protein, carb, fruits and veggies). An outstanding sandwich should have five components: bread, filling, condiments, toppings and sides. For starters, use a fresh assortment of breads and buns (ciabatta, seeded baguette, Challah rolls, pita pockets), accompanied by organic meats and fowl, wild-caught firm fish, cheeses (Swiss and spreadable goat are good choices), raw or grilled veggies, nut butters and pure fruit preserves. You can easily convert your sandwich to different ethnicities by changing up the accessories (toppings, condiments and sides). A grilled Portobello can be done Italian-style if topped with arugula and pesto vinaigrette and sun-dried tomato chips. Do an Asian Portobello by topping with daikon radishes and wasabi, and a side of ginger-seasoned slaw. A Mediterranean sandwich is a mushroom stuffed in a pita pocket with feta crumbles, cucumber and black olives, drizzled with tzatziki. Picnic do’s n Bring a picnic basket filled with unbreakable plates and cups, flatware and

serving utensils, napkins and hand-wipes, a sharp knife, corkscrew and bottle opener, a durable tablecloth and plastic tarp (if the ground is damp), and multi-purpose cutting boards for prepping, displaying and serving cheeses and other goodies. n Bring the right amount of food — not too little, not too much that will be spoiled and wasted. n Keep cold things cold and hot things hot. Bring two coolers packed with ice – one for drinks that are opened frequently, the other for food items. Keep hot items in thermos containers. n Pack salt and pepper shakers, mustard, ketchup and other nonperishable condiments. Picnic don’ts n Skip heavy, bulky or breakable containers, packages or jars, candles or other fire risks, a cranky baby (or adult). n Pass on anything that will melt, stick to fingers or attract bugs (ice cream, pudding, gooey cakes) or anything mayonnaise or cream-based that will spoil in the heat. A-Tisket, A-Tasket n Early picnics were potluck feasts that preceded the chase during medieval hunting conventions in England and France. n When an ant visits a picnic site, it deposits a scent so it can find its way back from the nest after telling family members where to crash the party. n In 2000, France celebrated the first Bastille Day of the millennium with a 600-mile-long picnic extravaganza. — For additional picnic recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Plus: food, musical acts, contests and exhibits. Admission: $8-$14. Schedule: sdfair.com

Historical Drama “Neva” tells the story of Anton Chekhov’s widow, actress Olga Knipper, who arrives in a dimly lit rehearsal room in St. Petersburg in the winter of 1905. As Olga and two other actors await the rest of the cast, they huddle together, act out scenes from their lives and muse on their art form and love — while unseen striking workers are being gunned down in the streets by the Sue Cremin, Ramón de Ocampo and Ruth Livier star in Tsarist regime. Written the La Jolla Playhouse production of ‘Neva.’ Craig SChwartz and directed by Guillermo Calderón, the play savagely examines the relationship between theater and historical context in a tightly crafted piece that allows a palpable terror to creep through the theatre walls.

Laughs are sprinkled throughout, and a lot of them are attributed to Peter Quince (Charles Janasz) and his band of laborers, which include Bottom (Miles Anderson), Snug (John Lavelle), Snout (Triney Sandoval), and Flute (Sean-Michael Wilkinson). The group is so outrageously funny they could have appeared in the Marx Brothers’ comedies as they rehearse to perform their play, “Pyramus and

Thisbe,” for Theseus’ wedding. Anderson wonderfully takes Bottom through endless singing, dancing and rollicking antics that keep the audience in stitches. This production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is flawlessly entertaining. Talbot, who directed the play six times at London’s Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, said because of things like the magic and the 12 fairies, it’s the perfect vehicle for introducing children, as young as age 5, to the world of Shakespeare.

Here, tour members get the story behind ‘Applied,’ by Richard Allen Morris, at 7744 Fay Ave. The walk started and ended at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. To date, there are 10 such celebrated public murals on privatelyowned buildings in La Jolla and Bird Rock.

Jefferson, regarded as the most eloquent writer, wrote most of the document. True. John Hancock, President of the Second Continental Congress, was the first signer. This merchant by trade did so in an entirely blank space making it the largest and most famous signature — hence the term John Hancock, which is still used today as a synonym for signature. — U.S. Census

The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment.

No. 321191 Order No. 1306212 Loan No. 321191 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED MAY 16, 2012 UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the Notes(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the date of sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender

may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 7207827 or visit this Internet Web site (WWW.PRIORITYPOSTING.COM), using the file number assigned to this case (Ts#321191). Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Trustor(s): Brian D. Alexander, Administrator of Estate of James M.
