Owned by Hansborough Brothers, La Jolla’s outdoor movie theater debuted in summer 1912 on the southeast corner of Drury Lane and Silverado Street. Operator Willis Zader turned the silent film reels manually. Young lads often saved the 10-cent admission by climbing the pepper tree at rear. With the natural ‘balcony’ overlooking the theater’s bleachers, their view was never obstructed by ladies’ hats!
n When The Lot opens this fall, it will join the Village’s storied list of cinemas By Carol Olten n the evening of March 25, 1925, a splendid fete was underway at the corner of Girard Avenue and Wall Street. 1920s flivvers (Model Ts) beeped and crowded the streets. Flappers in gala garb waved and smooched. Everyone gazed up in wonder at a movie marquee that gazed back offering fantastic gilded minarets and the promise of the world premiere of “The Boomerang,” three vaudeville acts direct from Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, Paris Fashion Revue in natural colors, a comedy riot called “Crushed” and “the first showing of Cetalla’s historic run to the North Pole in his race with death” — all for 25 cents.

By Ashley Mackin La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (T&T) advisory board dealt a blow to the San Diego County Diversity & Inclusiveness Group (SDCDIG) plans for a second La Jolla parade in December, by denying their requested street closures at the Aug. 27 T&T meeting. The proposed parade — aka La Jolla Community and Holiday Parade — is designed to be a faith-neutral alternative to the 58th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, which is a completely separate event. The new parade is proposed for Sunday, Dec. 13, one week after the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6. See Parade, A6

Weekend Hammerhead shark sightings led to beach advisory
F
or the second time in two days, a Hammerhead shark was spotted in the waters off the La Jolla coast Sunday afternoon, Aug. 30, prompting lifeguards to extend a shark advisory that was issued after a Hammerhead was spotted in the same area Saturday afternoon. The 6- to 8-foot-long shark was seen by a kayak fisherman who was 1.5 to 2 miles from La Jolla Shores about 12:10 p.m., San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Lee Swanson said. The kayaker told lifeguards the Hammerhead swam by him in a non-aggressive manner. The water around him was bloody from fish he had caught earlier, and that may have attracted the shark, Swanson said. The kayaker paddled toward shore, and the shark followed him. When he was about 250 yards from a boat launch, he flagged down a lifeguard rescue boat and pointed out the shark and a nearby swimmer. The lifeguard crew watched as the shark swam toward the swimmer before suddenly turning toward deep water, Swanson said. It hasn’t been seen since. Lifeguards warned beachgoers of the sighting on Sunday but didn’t bar anyone from getting into the water. A Hammerhead shark described
as 8 to 10 feet long was seen on Saturday, Aug. 29 off La Jolla Shores, about 1 p.m. Similar to Sunday’s sighting, the shark approached two kayakers who had been fishing in the area and had bled a couple of yellowfin tuna into the water. The two kayakers alerted a group of nearby swimmers to the Hammerhead, and they headed back to shore. The shark followed the kayakers to the surf line, as the one on Sunday did. As a precaution, the beach was closed for the rest of Saturday, although visitors were allowed to wade up to their knees. No one was injured. Lifeguards made contact with Andy Nosal, a Marine Biologist at Scripps Institute of Oceanography to confirm the identity of the shark. Nosal said that the size, species and behavior of the shark warranted the closure and San Diego Lifeguard Lieutenant Andy Lerum held a news conference at the La Jolla Shores Lifeguard tower at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Lifeguards continue to search the ocean off La Jolla Shores for sharks to determine if any other precautions should be taken. u — From La Jolla Light/The San Diego Union-Tribune Reports
About Hammerheads
■ Of the 10 known species of Hammerhead, only three of them are known to be particularly dangerous to humans: the Scalloped, Great, and Smooth hammerheads. As of 2013 there have been 33 attacks, but no fatalities. ■ The Hammerhead sharks are named for the unusual structure of their heads, which are flattened and laterally extended into a “hammer” shape called a “cephalofoil.” Many functions have been proposed for the cephalofoil, including sensory reception, maneuvering, and prey manipulation. ■ Hammerheads are found worldwide in warmer waters along coastlines and continental shelves. Unlike most sharks, hammerheads usually swim in schools during the day, becoming solitary hunters at night. ■ Hammerheads are known to eat a large range of prey, including fish, squid, octopus, crustaceans and other sharks. Stingrays are a particular favorite. These sharks are often found swimming along the bottom of the ocean, stalking their prey. Their unique head is used as a weapon when hunting down prey. The hammerhead shark uses its head to pin down stingrays and eats the ray when the ray is weak. ■ The Great Hammerhead, tending to be larger and more aggressive than most Hammerheads, occasionally engage in cannibalism, as they are known to eat other Hammerhead sharks, including their own young. ■ The Great and the Scalloped Hammerhead are listed on the World Conservation Union’s 2008 Red List as endangered, whereas the Small-eye Hammerhead is listed as vulnerable. The status given to these sharks comes as a result of over-fishing and demand for their fins, an expensive Chinese delicacy. u Source: Wikipedia

Artist’s eye chart the latest ‘Mural of La Jolla’ By Pat Sherman he creator of the latest installation in the Murals of La Jolla public art series welcomes harsh criticism of his work — or even the occasional praise, probing question or dialogue. “I want people to respond and to react to what I’m displaying — if they agree with it or if they do not agree … but I don’t want them to be indifferent and I don’t want the piece to just be decorative,” said Marcos Ramirez (known by his nickname ERRE), speaking with La Jolla Light from his studio in Tijuana. His mural, “Is All That It Proves,” was installed last week at 7744 Fay Ave., replacing “Applied” by Richard Allen Morris. The work, created specifically for the Murals of La Jolla, is part of Ramirez’s Eye Charts series, which places compelling quotes from various authors into the form of the Snellen eye chart that optometrists use to test visual acuity. The lettering becomes smaller as the quote is completed. For his La Jolla mural, Ramirez (born Marcos Ramirez Pimienta) chose a quote by founding father, essayist and political activist Thomas Paine, who challenged institutionalized religion. The mural reads: “If I do not believe as you believe/it proves that you do not believe as I believe/and that is all that it proves.” According to a statement from the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, which oversees the Murals of La Jolla, Ramirez’s piece “deviates from its most obvious reference towards eyesight and becomes about another kind of vision, the kind of vision you perceive through common sense. … It exemplifies the notion that now, more than ever, we need to embrace tolerance and learn to respect individuals who choose to think in a way different than we do.” Other quotes in Ramirez’s Eye Charts series include “Nothing will work unless you do,” by the late poet and author Maya Angelou, and “Even the freest of free

This silver obelisk installed south of Brookings, Oregon is the first of 47 such sculptures that retrace the border between Mexico and the U.S. as it was in 1921, when Mexico gained its independence from Spain. The 2014 ‘Delimitations’ installations, by artists ERRE and David Taylor, attempt to show how ephemeral borders are.
Tijuana-born, humanitarian artist Marcos Ramirez ERRE went from practicing law to working in construction, and, finally, a career as a visual artist. His site-specific installations pose questions that leave room for the possibility of many truths. societies are unfree at the edge,” by author Salman Rushdie (who Warwick’s Books brings to University of San Diego’s Institute for Peace and Justice Sept. 12). “We keep bouncing these phrases against the same walls and it seems to me that we don’t learn, so that’s why I keep pulling them — it’s like a reminder,” said Ramirez, who in 2007 received a United States Artists fellowship and since 2009, has been a fellow of Mexico’s National System of Art Creators. Ramirez’s first work in the Eye Charts series was a harsh critique of the “U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan,” featuring two light boxes, one with the eyes of a 13-yearold, blued-eyed American boy peering forward above Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote: “Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.” Across from that quote was a box with the eyes of an Afghani girl and a quotation in Farsi from the Quran, essentially conveying the same message: “We are one, single human race and should be hospitable and kind to each
other,” Ramirez explained. Born in Mexico, Ramirez immigrated to the United States in 1983. He received a law degree in Mexico, though spent 17 years afterward working in construction in Southern California — “building boxes for people to live in” — before his passion for art altered his trajectory. His visual art has since been featured throughout the U.S. and Mexico, and in Sweden, France, Cuba and other countries. “Going back to my notes in law school I reviewed them and found that most of the time I was drawing instead of taking notes,” confessed Ramirez, whose 2007 solo show at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library was titled “Postales desde el filo” (“Postcards from the Edge”). “I was not happy with the legal environment. I had my taste of it for six or seven months working in my uncle’s law office and it seemed very corrupt and not very promising for my nature.” u n The Murals of La Jolla is a project of the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.

ERRE is in the process of restoring his 2003 piece, ‘Crossroads,’ which was featured for several years in the sculpture garden at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla.

From Parade, A1
Athenaeum Music & Arts Library executive director Erika Torri says the proposed parade conflicts with the Athenaeum’s annual holiday gala.

street closure and that’s what they wanted, and I wasn’t interested in changing their vote.” Between those who decided to sign after speaking with Warwick, and the additional petitions that came in after the July meeting, Warwick’s numbers reflected 32 were in favor and 52 were opposed. One of those who had not signed the petition during its circulation, because it was “left under the door” and subsequently lost, was the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. Athenaeum executive director Erika Torri was in attendance to explain to the T&T board that she opposed the parade because it would conflict with the Athenaeum’s annual holiday gala on Dec. 13. “The Athenaeum is the oldest institution
in La Jolla and one of the oldest in San Diego, having been established in 1899, and I have been a part of it for 27 years. For those 27 years, we have had our holiday on the second Sunday of December,” she said. “There are 2,000 members that come for different parts of the day … it’s a big event for our members and for the community, as members are allowed to bring guests. But they are not going to be able to come (and park) if there is a parade that day.” Warwick made a detailed, extensive motion that precisely explained why the board opposed the street closures for the second parade. “Even if we decide to vote ‘no’ on this, the city might decide to disregard that and proceed. This is our
In other T&T news: n Board changes meeting date: T&T decided to move its regular meeting date to the third Wednesdays at 4 p.m. to better accommodate members’ schedules. The next meeting will be Wednesday,
s
T&T board member Tom Brady explained, “The city is the responsible party for making decisions on special events, but they do look to community groups heavily to support or deny or make recommendations on these events,” after which the board voted 9-0-0 to recommend the city deny the application for street closures Dec. 13 along Girard Avenue around Wall Street. The chief concern about the SDCDIG parade expressed during the last few monthly T&T meetings, was the outreach (or what some said was a lack thereof) to affected businesses along the proposed parade route, and missing information about parade participants. Leading up to the T&T vote, the board asked SDCDIG to circulate a petition to these businesses to gauge their response to a second parade. Some business owners reported they found the petition confusing and a few admitted they thought they were signing off on a name/date change for the annual La Jolla Christmas Parade — and alleged intimidation tactics were used to gather approval signatures. When SDCDIG submitted the petition results in July, there were 45 in favor and 15 opposed. To verify the petition results, Warwick’s Books owner Nancy Warwick said she walked the Village to speak to business owners. “We needed to verify because, as a board, we needed to follow up on (the confusion that was brought to our attention). I didn’t have time to go to everyone, but I tried to visit most of the businesses on Girard Avenue,” she said. “Some of them were confused and decided to change their votes. Others understood the
chance to tell the city what our thought process is (in opposing the event).” Within the motion, T&T’s reasons for opposition included: the applicant has not demonstrated support from the affected businesses and organizations in the retaildense area for that high-volume time of year; the chosen date conflicts with an existing event at the Athenaeum (existing protocol recommends that for new events, organizers pick a date that does not conflict with longstanding events); no information has been provided considering the number or nature of participants and spectators, nor is there information on the website as to how to sign up; there has been no professional event planning, leading to concerns about adequate health and safety professionals available at the parade; and some T&T members consider the application an abuse of the City of San Diego’s special event procedures. The item now goes before the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s 5 p.m. Sept. 3 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. Of the T&T decision, SDCDIG member Howard Singer later told La Jolla Light, “Their decision didn’t matter, we’re happy to take a yes or a no vote.” He added that he is confident the city will grant SDCDIG a permit for its parade, regardless of local board recommendations.
Real Es tate TODAY by Janet Douglas
Does price per square foot really matter? Often when you are comparing properties, Realtors provide you with a chart that shows price per square foot on the property you are buying or selling. This chart often compares the subject property to other properties and you might assume you can make a judgment call regarding the price you are offering as a buyer or accepting as a seller based on similar selling prices per square foot. But in reality, this kind of comparing is not a foolproof method of judging a value even in a condo development comparing the same size units. Price per square foot is not a true means of determining value. Properties can differ in condition, updates, views, location, traffic noise, natural light, parking, walkability, age of property, and lot size among many things. Using price per sq ft is not the end all measure to determine value of a property. Many factors can figure into a price. It is best to ask for details of the comparable properties reflected in a price per sq ft analysis to properly compare the prices.

Sept. 16 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. n Parking committee meets: With the purpose of exploring the various parking time limits in the Village, a T&T sub-committee met to establish its goals. It was formed following a presentation by La Jolla Coastal Access & Parking Board chair Deborah Marengo that illustrated the confusing nature of the different time zones. Chair Patrick Ryan explained, “We aim to strike a balance in (parking) time limits so visitors have enough time to experience the Village, but a short enough time to allow maximum access.” He said their key goal is to review staying time in the Village and optimize parking times to suit visitors and businesses. While some businesses, chiefly restaurants, would like longer on-street parking times, other businesses would benefit from shorter stays. Before proceeding, he said the committee needed data from businesses, residents, municipalities, churches and schools as to what their ideal parking situation would be. n Prestwick speed limit stays 30 mph: As part of the city’s rotation of speed studies on San Diego streets, Prestwick Drive in La Jolla Shores was recently reviewed — and the city recommended the speed limit be raised from 30 miles per hour to 35 miles per hour. “Prestwick Drive’s study showed that in order to continue with radar enforcement, the speed limit would have to be raised to 35 miles per hour,” T&T chair Dave Abrams told the group. T&T member Ryan added, “The questions for residents becomes: Would you like to

With Prestwick residents reporting cars
already speed down their street, many voiced support for keeping the speed limit at 30 miles per hour, even at the loss of radar enforcement. Although the board voted in agreement, Ryan suggested the residents circulate a petition and present

officials to implement. Construction on the bridge began in February 1967; it opened Aug. 3, 1969. Don Allison, who with late business partner, William “Bill” Zongker, purchased the property where Mosher’s namesake lookout is located, hosted the event. Allison is in the process of developing the long vacant parcel just below Mosher Point as three townhouses, the design of which pays homage to the Green Dragon artists’ colony
cottages that once stood on the site (read more at bit.ly/GreenDragonhomage). Speaking with La Jolla Light, Allison said Mosher was appointed consulting architect on the Coronado-Bay Bridge by former Gov. Pat Brown (father of current Gov. Jerry Brown). However, Allison recalled, when Mosher went to Sacramento to visit with state engineers, they told him they had already designed a steel trestle bridge — “you know, like you see back East that go over train

By Pat Sherman More than 30 people gathered to honor the late La Jolla architect Robert Mosher Aug. 26, on the public observation deck above La Jolla Cove bearing his name, “The Mosher Point of View.”
The deck, adjoining Eddie V’s restaurant on the site of the former Green Dragon Colony, was dedicated in 2012. Mosher died this summer, at age 94. In addition to a bronze plaque and a basrelief of Mosher installed in 2012, a colorful new plaque was added last week during the event, touting Mosher’s work as designer and, some would say, savior, of the Coronado-Bay Bridge — a curvaceous, elegant design which Mosher fought state

Celebrating 25 Years in La Jolla! Dr. Joseph D'Angelo & Dr. Ashley Olson Many thought the late La Jolla developer Bill Zongker (inset) would never be able to build his ultra-modern, cliff-hugging home on La Jolla Mesa Drive, but he succeeded. It was finished in 2000. Zongker passed away May 14. tracks and are bolted together pieces of iron,” Allison recalled. “That’s what the structural engineers came up with because it was nice and strong. They said, ‘I’m sorry Mr. Mosher, but it’s already designed and we can’t do anything about it.’ ” Mosher, whom Allison recalled as “a very gentle guy,” didn’t want motorists to have to view San Diego Bay through metal beams. “He said I’m sorry you feel that way, but I must tell you that my clients own the two newspapers in town — The San Diego Union and The San Diego Union-Tribune,’ ” added Allison, nothing that Mosher’s business partner, the late architect Roy Drew, worked on Foxhill Estate (then owned by newspaper publisher James Copley). “He said, ‘If you insist on this design, I’ll have ask them to editorialize against it.’ ” Two weeks later, state engineers had changed their minds, and asked to see Mosher’s concept, Allison recalled, noting that Mosher reportedly used the same warning to prevent a woman who was then the head of California Division of Bay Toll Crossings — and had a strong affinity for the color pink — from painting the bridge pink. “That’s why it’s the color that’s known among architects today as ‘Mosher blue,’ ” Allison said.
William L. Zongker (1931-2015) During the Mosher dedication, Allison also feted longtime business partner William Zongker for his hand in helping him develop the wood-shingled Coast Walk property in 1975 (just north of the Green Dragon site). In the early 1990s, Allison and Zongker purchased the Green Dragon Colony property from Mosher’s family, attempting unsuccessfully to develop the property several times. Allison said he and Zongker submitted plans to develop four condominiums on the property in the early ’90s, although it met with community opposition. “As a result, we just let it go for a while and forgot about it,” Allison said. “About six years ago, I said I want to get this thing done. I’m not a spring chicken. So we started processing it again through Alcorn & Benton Architects.” Plans for the Green Dragon townhomes,
off Coast Boulevard, have been approved by the city. The project could break ground as early as November. In 2003, Allison and Zongker also purchased the building housing Berkshire Hathaway Home Services at 1299 Prospect St. across from Coast Walk. “We kind of maintained Green Dragon in the Mosher style because we have a great affinity for Bob,” Allison said. “My partner (Zongker) and I were kind of architectural — what do you call it when they follow rock stars around? — groupies. In fact, Bill wanted to be an architect at one point when he was in school.” Allison, who met Zongker as a client of Price Waterhouse (today PricewaterhouseCoopers), noted several three- and four-story condominium projects in Mission Bay and Pacific Beach that Zongker designed and developed, and his ultra-modern, cliffhugging home on La Jolla Mesa Drive, which Zongker completed in 2000 and resided in until his death May 14. Zongker’s son-in-law, Thomas Monroe Wright II, noted that Zongker started out in the electronics business, attending San Diego State University late in life, where he studied business and engineering, eventually gravitating toward real estate development. “He built one of the paramount featured homes up on La Jolla Mesa Drive, the one where everyone stops and takes pictures, with the stainless steel fence,” Wright said, noting that his father purchased the property more than three decades ago, though it was deemed unbuildable due to its location on a steep cliff. “He found a way,” Wright said, remembering his father as an “extremely kind and eclectic man” with a “keen eye for design.” “He built a model of a house and then looked at it from every angle,” Wright said. “They made him move a bunch of protected barrel cactus and he ended up building a super post-modern amazing house that everyone wants to get into and see. It’s just a work of art.” Because Zongker and Mosher were close friends, Allison said it is likely Zongker had Mosher review plans for his home, which features floor-to ceiling windows, ocean views, and grand marble walkways, inside and out. u

Meeks has served as interim principal at the district’s community day school program ALBA (Alternative Learning for Behavior and Attitude) and was 2009 Teacher of the Year there, Podhorsky said via e-mail. “He has a strong instructional background, experience as a science educator and is GATE certified. He has taught at ALBA, Lincoln, Crawford and Memorial (high schools), which has given him more than 33 years of teaching experience.” Ueckert, who sat down with La Jolla Light in July, said she is eager to use her background in special education to help meet the needs of all students. She has worked with Morse High in south San Diego; the district’s Trace program, an educational support network that helps
young adults with mental and physical disabilities, ages 18-22; and as a project resource teacher for the district. Additionally, the school underwent a Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) review in April, which commended La Jolla High for its learning strategies, and gave recommendations to improve student engagement, support for at-risk students and more. “I am very proud of our new strong academic focus this school year and focus on the academic success for all students,” Podorsky said. “La Jolla High is such an amazing school, and with continued laser focus on supporting every student to have an amazing instructional experience, we are well on way to becoming the best school in the State of California.” See Schools, A27

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS
Jewish center exec gets Attic Construction will help rodent-proof your home prison for $400K theft By Marti Gacioch
A
s the chief financial officer of the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Nancy Johnson was the one to field requests to fund everything from preschool scholarships to after-school programs to employee retirement pay. Her frequent replies became familiar: “We can’t do that, we don’t have any money in the budget for that,” recalled Larry Katz, past president of the board of directors. Instead, at least $412,000 meant to serve the La Jolla community center was pilfered by Johnson and spent on lavish vacations, excessive amounts of jewelry, designer shoes and home furnishings. “All selfish, decadent spending at the expense of a wonderful community organization,” U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw said Friday, Aug. 28 at her sentencing hearing. Denying a request for home detention, the San Diego federal judge sentenced Johnson, 59, to a year and a day in prison. He attributed the almost obsessive, addictive behavior to greed and emotional issues. “The depth of the crime is startling in the sense it went on for so many years,” Sabraw said. “There were so many opportunities to redirect, get this right, stop the conduct.” Johnson was hired by the center in 1991 and became a trusted employee who oversaw the $13 million annual budget. She pleaded guilty to wire fraud and filing a false tax return, admitting using the center’s credit cards to rack up personal expenses and then paying them off with the center’s funds. She was able to hide the
theft by doctoring financial records, indicating the expenditures were valid. Some of that money was actually paying for a $5,200 stay at the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, $3,666 in airfare to the Bahamas, $1,795 Jimmy Choo shoes, $879 in tickets to the ESPN X Games and a $375 dinner at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse, prosecutors said. She made small monetary donations back to the center, in an attempt to pay back what she’d taken, but nowhere near commensurate with her takings. Johnson’s defense attorney, Thomas Warwick, blamed the longevity of the theft in part on the center’s system for overseeing its finances. He said all checks are signed off by two people and noted that no one caught on to her illicit spending, not even auditors who inspected the books each year. Katz, who read a letter at the hearing Friday, said the center’s 8,500 members and 170 employees felt an immense sense of betrayal. While Johnson has since paid back the $412,000 she stole in full, Katz said the effects of her actions will be long lasting in the way of donations to the center. Johnson wasn’t the only one stealing from the center. Tamara Azizov, the center’s former accounts payable clerk, was also embezzling, using the same method for several years. She admitted to taking $152,000. Apparently neither woman knew about the other’s actions, authorities said. Azizov has also pleaded guilty and is set to be sentenced next month. — The San Diego Union-Tribune

There are few things worse for a homeowner than having visitors decide to stay — especially the four-legged kind like mice and rodents. To eliminate nesting and any future visits, Attic Construction’s professional and friendly technicians can help. The construction team specializes in insulation services and rodent solutions that provide an inventive, non-toxic way to evict undesirable creatures from attics, end their staycation and block their return. When one of the technicians at Attic Construction enters a client’s attic, they look for any openings for mice or rodents. “These creatures can crawl inside a crack the size of a quarter,” said Adam Daniels, lead technician at the company. “They are very smart animals, so it’s important to close up the entire structure’s openings because if they’ve nested, they know the place has their offsprings in it, and they’ll return.” Attic Construction uses professional grade metal screen mesh and sealant — the only material rodents can’t chew through — to treat all entry points. Every gap, crack and crevice is sealed while still allowing for maximum natural airflow. The cleaning part may consist of pulling contaminated insulation along vacuuming any rodent droppings and other debris. Their next step is to sanitize the entire attic area insuring any any foul-smelling contaminants homeowners may be breathing are eliminated. “We don’t use anything toxic, so our clients can remain in the home while we’re working,” Daniels said. Company’s co-owners Caine and Sheiner worked for six years in the Bay Area construction industry before opening San Diego Attic Construction in 2013. “Our key feature is that we don’t define ourselves as a pest control company, but we do offer solutions like closing up openings wherever pests can enter,” Caine said. “And while there’s no 100 percent guarantee with rodents, our methods provide a proven solution that an infestation situation won’t happen again.”

The Granada Theatre sat on the corner of Girard Avenue and Wall Street until 1952. When it opened in 1925, it boasted 712 seats. Admission was 25 cents. From Movie Theaters, A1 This was opening night at the Granada, the grandest movie palace yet to be built in La Jolla inspired, no less, by the magnificent architecture of the great Spanish city’s Moorish history. La Jolla’s Granada had 712 seats all upholstered in the finest Spanish leather and a sonorous Robert Morgan pipe organ. There was a glass crystal bead curtain that opened when the movie started and behind it a drop curtain with a Spanish horseman as the major motif. Gold-framed antique mirrors lined the walls of the lobby. The theater ceiling was a baroque celebration in colors of blue and gold. In a last nod to Spanish grandeur, ushers at the opening were attired in black mantillas set off with flirtatious red roses. For 27 years the Granada served La Jolla as the one and only truly grand movie palace ever to operate here. Its opening in 1925 bears remembering because today a movie “palace” of entirely another tone is opening its doors in the community. While the old Granada was ornate and old-fashioned, this one called “The Lot,” and featuring seven screens created within the framework of the former Jonathan’s Market on Fay Avenue, is lean and modern, edgy in technology and adds infinitely more high-end levels to what we have come to know as cinematic experiences. Adolfo Fastlicht, major partner in The Lot’s development, sums up the new project as “the 21st century neighborhood theater, a product that in today’s parlance offers a much more diverse exhibit space.”
Moving Pictures
In contrast, the early days of movie history in La Jolla were lucky to feature a projector, a screen and a venue. The first movies shown in La Jolla in 1912 were in the auditorium of the bathhouse at the Cove, the first show presented in January by operator Willis Zader, whose Edison machine lacked a fire shutter, thus closing down the entire operation within two months as a hazard. But Zader persisted in his endeavor to bring films to La Jolla and in the summer of that same year opened an outdoor arena at the corner of Drury Lane and Silverado Street.

The Cove opened at 7730 Girard Ave., with “Spence” in charge in 1952. It closed in 2002 shortly after his retirement. La Jolla has been without a movie theater since — all the better to hail the coming of The Lot!
Silent Films
Before the Granada and The Cove, La Jolla entertained a variety of other movie houses. A year after Zader’s outdoor operation, a large theater seating 500 opened its doors as a silent film venue at the corner of Wall and Girard. It was called the Orient, first operated by the Hansbrough Electrical Co. and then by the Stutz Brothers, starting in 1915 and continuing into the 1920s. They changed its name to the Garden Theater. In 1914, a rival called the La Jolla Theater opened across the street on Girard Avenue, attempting to catch the attention of the quickly growing movie audience. (Movies, after all, were about the only thing to do besides hunting abalone and sitting on the beach!) This new theater, however, closed in a short time. By 1924, one of the Stutz brothers, Louis, decided that La Jolla, with its growing number of resort hotels and more
sophisticated population, would support a larger and more up-to-date theater in tune with the ornamental movie palaces popular in Los Angeles and downtown San Diego. He tore down the Garden and announced plans for a new theater appropriately to be named The Jewel. It would be the star attraction within a larger structure containing a bank and several stores, both on Wall Street and Girard. By the time of its debut in March, 1925, The Jewel had been renamed The Granada — heralded in opening ceremonies as La Jolla’s “finest playhouse of any city of her size in the land.” The Granada was designed by architect William H. Wheeler and built at a cost of $170,000. The opening night featured a speech by the San Diego mayor and a packed house. A scribe in the La Jolla Journal newspaper recorded the festivities: “The wonderful pipe organ with Robert Gaderer at the console pealed forth in ecstasy as the picture hungry La Jollans marched down the aisle over nice soft carpet to their more than comfortable seats. … La Jolla’s prettiest girls dressed in their natty uniforms (a rare description of black mantillas as ‘natty’) ushered each expectant individual.” Another scribe noted he hadn’t “seen the town so lively since the Fourth of July.” After opening with “The Boomerang,” a full 70-minute silent comedy/romance
The theater also continued to be used for live performances of both vaudeville and light opera. On May 29, 1929, it hosted the first talkie to be shown here: “Coquette” starring Mary Pickford as a flirtatious Southern belle. Of her performance, a critic, in lieu of many silent film stars being unable to use their voices in the new medium, wrote “she talks as Mary Pickford ought to talk.” By the time the Granada closed its doors in May 1952, the new Cove theater had been built on Girard, seating 650 and financed by Major John H. Haring as a memorial to his parents. It originally was called the Playhouse Theater. A few months after the Playhouse opened, it was purchased by the Granada’s owner and renamed the Cove. Wilson took a giant step across Girard from being manager at the Granada to managing the new venue.
Independent Films
No history of movie theaters in La Jolla would be complete without an ode to the Unicorn Cinema, the unique art house that opened in 1964 at the corner of Pearl Street and La Jolla Boulevard. Although small and tucked into an out-of-the-way location, the Unicorn became a highly regarded repertory operation known for showing avant-garde and experimental films from around the world, as well as selections from the silent era and vintage Hollywood. The Unicorn opened with Adolfas Mekas’ “Hallelujah the Hills” and Francois Truffaut’s “Shoot the Piano Player.” It closed about 20 years later with the same bill. I spent many nights in the Unicorn enjoying its ephemeral ambience, its coziness, its whimsical potpourri. It was my education in movies — real movies — and when it closed, I did shed a tear. u n Carol Olten is the historian at La Jolla Historical Society. She also served as The San Diego Union newspaper’s film critic for 10 years.

n Friday, Aug. 28, a jury convicted longtime La Jolla Jeweler Karl Winchell of 10 felony counts — nine for fraudulent appropriation/embezzlement and one for grand theft. The jury also found cause to add a “white collar crime enhancement” charge, “which means that the defendant committed two or more related felonies involving fraud and embezzlement resulting in a loss of more than $100,000,” said Cari Philpott, a deputy district attorney in the economic crimes division of the San Diego County District Attorney’s office. The trial lasted four weeks, with the jury spending one week on deliberations. Winchell is scheduled for sentencing 9 a.m. Oct. 9 in Karl Winchell Department 15 of San Diego Superior Court, 220 W. Broadway. Philpott said Winchell faces a maximum possible sentence of nine years and four months in state prison, and will also be ordered to pay restitution to his victims.

Patty Maysent, M.P.H., M.B.A., has been appointed interim Chief Executive Officer of UC San Diego Health, bringing to the role more than 25 years of executive experience in hospital leadership and health services management. As interim CEO, Maysent will move UCSD Health, the region’s only academic health system, forward in its efforts to redefine health care delivery and ensure continued success with its tripartite mission of delivering outstanding patient care, groundbreaking research and inspired teaching. Maysent replaces CEO Paul Viviano, Patty Maysent who led UC San Diego Health as CEO for the past three years. Viviano is joining the administration of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. A national search for a permanent CEO at UC San Diego Health is underway. “We are excited that Patty Maysent has accepted the dynamic role as interim CEO of UC San Diego Health,” said David Brenner, M.D., vice chancellor for Health Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine at UC San Diego. “Her solid record of performance has helped elevate UCSD Health’s levels of innovation, accountability and efficiency. She has also accelerated efforts to create strategic affiliations with other key health care providers in California.” Maysent joined UCSD Health in 2012 as Chief of Staff to Viviano, and in 2013 became Chief Strategy Officer.

School district issues transportation safety tips With the new school year beginning Tuesday, Sept. 8, the San Diego Unified School District and National Safe Kids Campaign remind parents of the following guidelines to safely get children to school. n When walking to school: • Pedestrian injuries are the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related deaths among children ages 5-14. • To avoid injury never let children under age 10 cross the street alone, teach children to recognize and obey traffic signals and pavement markings, choose the safest route between home and school and practice walking it with children until they can demonstrate traffic safety awareness. • Remind kids to cross streets only in crosswalks, never enter streets from between parked cars or from behind shrubbery; always look both ways before crossing the street; walk, don’t run, across intersections; a flashing “walk” signal does not automatically mean it’s safe to cross; use the same route every day and avoid shortcuts; don’t speak to strangers, if a stranger approaches, tell a trusted adult such as a parent or teacher. n When riding the bus: • More than 11,000 district students take the bus each
day. Although bus travel is one of the safest ways to get to and from school, injuries can still occur, and most of them take place when children are getting on or off the bus. • Arrive at the bus stop at least 10 minutes before the scheduled stop, stay out of the street and don’t horseplay while waiting, wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before getting on or off, remain seated and keep head and arms inside the bus at all times, do not shout or distract the driver, do not walk in the driver’s “blind spot” (the area from the front of the bus to about 12 feet in front of the bus). n When riding bicycles: • Bicycles are associated with more childhood injuries than any other consumer product except the car. • To make sure kids are safe when riding bicycles to school check with your principal to make sure bicycles are allowed (some schools do not allow them); obey rules of the road, the rules are the same for all vehicles, including bicycles; stay on the right-hand side of the road and ride in the same direction as traffic; know and use appropriate hand signals; choose the safest route between home and school and practice it with children until they can demonstrate traffic safety awareness. • Always wear a helmet. State law requires it, and failure to wear one could result in a traffic citation. More importantly, helmets can reduce the risk of head injury by as much as 85 percent. n When driving: • Always use child safety seats and safety belts correctly when driving or riding in a car; arrive early — especially the first few weeks of school — and use the school’s designated student drop-off and pick-up zone; do not double park or make U-turns in front of the school (Police officers are issuing citations for traffic violations and there is no warning or grace period); children should enter and leave the car on

Modern Home Systems expands to Dallas
Visit Modern Home Systems’ showroom to discover the uses for automation in the home. Courtesy
By Marti Gacioch Modern Home Systems, the premier home automation products and service store in San Diego, recently celebrated the opening of a new store in Dallas, Texas. Their Dallas store marks their third location (and first store outside California) since owner Otto Benson opened his first store, La Jolla Home Theater, in 2007. “We opened the Dallas store because we saw a need in that area of the country and didn’t see any businesses there that were doing exactly what we’re doing,” said marketing director Danielle Ryan. “Our Dallas store is offering the same products and services that we offer in our Miramar headquarters store.” The power and uses for automation in the home continues to expand at Modern Home Systems, and after home owners experience the convenience and time-saving features of this new technology, they never look back. New users who decide to automate their homes will instantly gain fingertip control over an increasing number of household tasks. Whether it’s controlling home temperatures, security systems, lighting, doors and locks, irrigation, ambience, audio-video tasks or swimming pool maintenance, Modern Home System’s automation equipment and installations provide real-life solutions. As San Diegans became aware of all that Modern Home Systems offers, the business grew quickly until

It is staffed with certified Apple technicians for support and repair, and customers will find the latest Apple products in store or be able to order custom-built systems. “We’re doing a lot more custom homes from the ground up,” Ryan said. “We work directly with the builders and go through all the different phases of the whole construction process.” Recently, the store added two new employees to meet the demand, providing customers with one-onone training in the store or at their homes. In addition, the staff hosts group workshops every Saturday. “Our Rancho Santa Fe satellite store is doing great, and we’re now looking for another new location, probably in Del Mar,” Ryan said. u

Sand sculpture artists from around the world will compete for $60,000 in prize money in downtown San Diego at the B Street Pier, Sept. 4-7. Courtesy

T
he U.S. Olympic Committee is sending its Road to Rio interactive exhibit to be part of the U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4-7 along B Street Pier, 1140 North Harbor Drive, downtown San Diego. World Master artists will theme their sand sculptures around the Olympics as well. Team USA selected San Diego’s signature event as one of only three stops on its tour in 2015 because it was named one of USA Today’s 10 Best Events of its Kind and has become one of the world’s most important sand sculpture competitions. Sculptors from Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Canada, Singapore and Russia (for the first time) are coming to challenge the best Master Sculptors in the States. Along with national pride, $60,000 in prize and appearance money is at stake. While it takes two weeks from start up to tear down (including bringing 300 tons of sand onto downtown San Diego’s cruise ship pier), the public has just four days to see the sculptures. Road to Rio interactivity takes place on Saturday and Sunday. Virtualreality technology will enable fans to experience pole vaulting, beach volleyball, gymnastics and diving, and capture their own personal Olympic moments. The event also includes the Dimensional Art Exposition with 1,000 works of art (metal, wood, glass, jewelry, handmade clothing, wall-art, acrylic, fabric and gemstones) for show and sale; a Family Fun Kid Zone with rides and sandcastle-building lessons taught by professional artists; 15 gourmet food
trucks and a beer/wine garden; plus live entertainment all weekend long. A portion of the proceeds benefit San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, Young Audiences of San Diego/Arts for Learning, It’s All About the Kids Foundation, Maritime Museum’s Children’s Education Program and San Diego City College Sports. u

You have saved for many years and now looking forward to a great retirement. We financial planners constantly talk about the need to save for retirement. Max out all available retirement account & invest personally, and one day, when you are ready to retire, that portfolio will become income for you. Some pre-retirement points to consider: 1. What are your expenses today? How much money will you need in retirement each month to cover your essential expenses, and to also cover the fun things that you’d like to do in those golden years? Tracking this spending for the first few years of retirement is critical since expenses can run higher than expected. 2. Determine how much income you will need from your investments. The amount is your total estimated expenses minus your Social Security, pensions or real estate income. Once you know how much you need each year, you can then begin to formulate a distribution income strategy. 3. Review all you investment income opportunities. What investments can be rearranged to produce income? Choices like when to start taking Social Security can cut your retirement income by 25% or boost it by an additional 32%. Don’t take Social Security early – unless you need the income. It grows at an 8% guaranteed amount – so, delay to age 70 if possible. Married couples can also use strategies like claiming spousal benefits to increase income substantially. Do you own investment real estate? Tired of property management and tenants? Explore all the options of keeping your property, selling and paying taxes, charitable gifting for income and tax benefits or some form of a tax-deferred 1031 exchange. 4. Decide how much risk you are comfortable with. Your level of comfort with risk determines how you allocate your investment portfolio. In retirement, people usually don’t want much risk. Yet the reality is that for a 30-to-40-year retirement with inflating expenses every year, some allocation to growth assets is helpful if not necessary. 5. Identify how much you want to leave to your heirs. For some people, this is a top priority; for others, they want to spend as much as possible while they can. If you plan to leave behind a substantial inheritance, just be aware that it might place limitations on your income. These are the five simple but important steps that decide your ability to live the life you want in retirement.

Mayor visits La Jolla library, calls biotech lab a ‘game changer’
S
San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer literally rolled up his sleeves to observe a biotech workshop taking place at La Jolla’s Riford Library Sept. 1.
peaking to a group of library supporters and media reps at a news conference Tuesday, Sept. 1 at the La Jolla Library, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said of its new 3D printing and biotech lab, “This lab is a game changer for the city. This is the first of its kind, but probably not the last.” Faulconer and Congressmember Scott Peters celebrated the grand opening of the lab that has been available on a “soft-opening” basis to library patrons since April. After their statements, Faulconer and Peters toured the biotech lab — with equipment equivalent to that found in a high school biology lab and only open when a qualified volunteer is on hand — and observed a workshop taking place. San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner made a similar exploratory visit in early August. u Photos by Ashley Mackin

Kayak fishermen to blame for sharks near shore The recent shark sightings in La Jolla were caused by thoughtless practices of kayak fishermen. It’s irresponsible for kayak fishermen to gut and clean fish out in the ocean off La Jolla. The blood attracts sharks to the kayak, and when they paddle the kayak, trailing fish blood, back to La Jolla Shores, they lead the sharks through a swim zone to the beach. I’m not against kayak fishing, but this practice endangers peoples’ lives. It should be made illegal and it should be monitored by Fish and Wildlife. If the fishermen can’t or won’t stop doing this, kayak fishing from La Jolla Shores should be discontinued. Kayaks should then be required to launch from, and return to, a place where there are no swimmers or surfers ... maybe Mission Bay. Some species of sharks inhabit the shallow waters around La Jolla Cove. These include Leopard, Smoothhound, Horn and Soupfin. They’re not dangerous. Other shark species are typically found farther offshore in deeper water. These include Thresher, Blue, Mako and Hammerhead. The last two are somewhat more

Lifeguard tower delay impacts quality-of-life The “Again?” headline in your Aug. 27 edition was very distressing for those of us who have suffered with the condition of La Jolla Cove for the past year and a half. However, it did have a piece of good news when it indicated that “construction impacts would be minimal enough that the La Jolla Rough Water Swim (LJRWS) could take place this year.” In addition to the LJRWS, the construction caused the cancellation last year of another large event, the La Jolla Cove 10-Mile Relay. This charity event, “A Celebration of Swimming and Community Giving,” is held on the last Sunday in September, attracting 300-plus swimmers competing in five-person teams and raising money for the American Diabetes Association and the San Diego Junior Lifeguard Foundation. The last event (held in 2013) raised $6,500. So not only is the construction an eyesore and blight on one of the most beautiful places in
California, it has had an impact on the community’s ability to conduct worthy charitable events. Fortunately, with the assurance of the city’s deputy director of field engineering, we are planning on holding the 14th annual La Jolla Cove 10-Mile Relay on Sunday Sept. 27 and are hopeful that La Jolla Cove will again be available for events that benefit the community.

Surf scam may be surfacing My boyfriend and I encountered male and female instigators near WindanSea the afternoon of Saturday, Aug. 29. The couple parked themselves at the shoreline down at Little Point. The girlfriend/wife waited while the man paddled out to the lineup where my boyfriend was surfing with two others. The man kept harassing my boyfriend by circling him and nearly hit my boyfriend’s face with his surf board. The man was in and out of the water in approximately 15 minutes. There was no physical altercation in the lineup or the sand. When the man came in, the

OUR READERS WRITE woman had her phone ready like there was a plan in place. I was unaware they had called the police until they notified me later, as I walked past them while they loaded up their vehicle. Then, the woman started antagonizing me with obscene names when I had said nothing to them. This whole incident appeared like a setup for a fight where they can claim to be victims, have the police come, then sue. We have been in La Jolla for more than a decade and I have never encountered anything like this. I want to bring this incident to the community’s attention in case the man and woman return to instigate another such situation, so people are ready to walk away from a setup.

Let’s organize to ban leaf blowers today! The subject of banning leaf blowers is a reoccurring one for letter-writers in the La Jolla Light. I myself have written such a concern in the past. While I hat tip those who argue we have “bigger problems,” my stance is “small” problems deserve attention, too. After all, the big problems exist because when they were small, they were ignored. While we all note and have great gratitude for the privilege of living in the beautiful oasis that is La Jolla, our concerns are out of respect FOR this very beauty. The ambiance and health concerns within our streets and neighborhoods play into the overall serenity that we are blessed with here. I ask that every person who has written a leaf blower-related letter to the editor in the past, or those who nod their head in agreement when reading each grievance, please take five minutes of your day and contact Mayor Faulconer’s office. If e-mailing, please title your note “Let’s Ban Leaf Blowers.” Let’s move our concerns into action that can trickle into our daily lives. Mayor Kevin L.

Conflicting messages at Neptune and Playa del Norte? Just a few days after the city installed their “solution” to the condo signage encouraging wrong-way driving on Playa del Norte, I walked to the end of my street this evening to find this. Derek Edwards
City needs to put new sign on the sidewalk The one-way sign is gone. Not sure why, but two possibilities are: It was hit by a car because the driver was busy looking at a HUGE sign with a HUGE arrow pointing east up Playa del Norte, or it was ripped down by locals who understandably don’t want a sign in the middle of the spot where six generations of La Jollians have parked to watch the surf. I live on Playa del Norte. The number of cars now bombing up the street in the wrong direction has not been overstated. It is a tragedy waiting to happen. 1) The new sign (which I assume will go up in the next few days) needs to be ON THE SIDEWALK. 2) The owners of the condo project need to remove the signs that are causing the problem. It was reported that “the fire department made them do it,” but if that is true, surely there are small, special signs that fire department personal are trained to see that would do the job. In addition, everyone who works at the local fire station knows exactly where the main entrance is. They park there to watch the surf, too. Rob Schreiber

Muirlands Middle School Muirlands Middle School Principal Harlan Klein told La Jolla Light that this year, the school will utilize a Google Apps For Education platform. Using apps such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Slides and more, the students will be able to receive, complete and submit assignments electronically; store their work on a digital cloud system; and have access to a calendar created by their teacher — all through a school-issued e-mail address. “The idea is to improve communication between teachers and students, share paperless assignments and give them a digital portfolio of work,” Klein said. Because the assignments are shared through the school-issued e-mail and stored on a cloud, they can be accessed and worked on from any mobile device or computer (so much for “my dog ate my homework!”), and shared with the teacher when complete. “In addition, there is the opportunity to work on group projects or presentations in
real time next to each other, at home or in classes,” he said, adding that the work is automatically saved as students work on it to the Google Drive account attached to their e-mail address. The school maintains all administrative control for the accounts, and through the Google Apps For Education program — rolled out in 2014 — students are not exposed to ads while using the platform. “We’re investing a lot of time and energy into making Muirlands a school that gives the students access to the newest technology and opportunity,” Klein said.
Bird Rock Elementary Former Bird Rock Elementary School Principal Sally Viavada took a position at Tierrasanta Elementary School over the summer, and resigned from BRE.

neighborhood. Although I am sad to leave Bird Rock Elementary and the community, I have loved and been honored to be a part of, I am excited about a new challenge in my future.” She added that the school’s Area Superintendent Mitzi Merino is working to find a new principal to lead Bird Rock Elementary. Viavada’s letter stated this protocol was used so, “thoughtful consideration can occur when selecting a perfect match for years to come.” A community meeting to answer questions about the process is set for 8:35 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15, at Bird Rock Elementary, 5371 La Jolla Hermosa Ave.

La Jollans receive awards for harrowing water rescues By Pat Sherman wo La Jolla residents — one a professional lifeguard with emergency medical training and the other a citizen with no such experience — were honored last month for helping save the lives of people caught off guard by the power of the ocean. During the San Diego Lifesaving Association’s annual Hardy Awards Dinner at The Local Pacific Beach sports bar, La Jolla native John Maher was recognized as the Seasonal Lifeguard of the Year for his efforts the past 12 months. A former professional surfer employed 16 years as a seasonal lifeguard for the City of San Diego, Maher spends his summers patrolling WindanSea Beach, where his team completed 501 rescues in July, which he said was considerably more than in any other service area in San Diego that month. “For some reason all the stars aligned in July to make the rip currents stronger than usual,” said Maher, 33, a La Jolla High School alumni, whose parents, Michael and Lisa Maher, met 37 years ago at Marine Street Beach. “Even decent swimmers were unable to swim out of them. … People would get knocked over by a wave and it would drag them to the drop-off, which is only about 15 feet off the shore. Then they can’t touch (bottom).” Maher said the influx of people seeking refuge from the heat at WindanSea resulted in mass rescues, or those involving five or more people at one time. “Crews were making upwards of 70 rescues in one day, and our team is really small — five guards on a busy day,” Maher said, noting a rescue he performed shortly after ending an 11-hour shift, at 8 p.m. “I was walking off the beach when I heard a guy yell for help. He was a couple hundred yards off shore and it was almost dark and by the time I got to him. That was critical because he was exhausted. He had a very slim chance of making it back to the beach. That was a really gratifying rescue.” Maher also recalled his involvement in the rescue of a scuba diver at La Jolla Shores, at about 9:30 a.m. one morning this spring. “There were approximately 50 to 100 scuba divers (in the water). To be able to spot the one unconscious diver on the surface was incredibly challenging for my crew in the observation tower,” he said, noting that after lifeguard Mike Carr spotted the victim in the water, he and lifeguard Juan Gonzales bolted for the surf. When they reached the victim, who was outside the surf line, the man was not breathing and had no pulse. Maher and Gonzales got the victim on their rescue board and onto his back. While Gonzales kept the board stable in the water, Maher began administering compressions to get his pulse back. “It’s important that you begin compressions as early as possible,” said Maher, noting the duo next began administering CPR, eventually “catching a wave with the unconscious victim, which was imperative to get him to the beach in a timely manner.” Maher and Gonzales eventually got the man to shore where other guards assisted with lifesaving procedures. “We got his breathing back, did a turnover to medics and he survived,” Maher said. “That was a big call. … Every single lifeguard who responded worked seamlessly together. We worked as a cohesive unit.” Maher also serves as a rescue swimmer and personal watercraft operator for the Big Wave World Tour international surfing tournament. His rescue team is responsible for saving some of the most experienced big wave surfers in the world when caught in dangerous situations. During the winter, he keeps his lifesaving skills sharp abroad, beginning his winter break working as a lifeguard at Tavarua, an island resort in Fiji that is among the most dangerous surf spots on Earth. He began apprenticing there as a surfboat operator at age 13. By age 16, Maher was a licensed boat operator and lifeguard at Tavarua. “It’s one of the most powerful waves in the world, the reef is incredibly sharp and the currents are strong,” he said. “I’ve been back every year since.” From Fiji, Maher caps off his winter at a surf resort in Indonesia called Kandui, where he said he is the only medical resource (emergency medical technician) in the area.

Hardy Awards ■ The Hardy Awards are named for Charles “Chuck” Hardy, who began his career with San Diego’s lifeguard service in 1923, just five years after its inception. Hardy left to work in the airline industry, then returned to the lifeguard service in 1930, where he was promoted to captain three years later (then the highest ranking position). During his tenure, the lifeguard service transferred from the auspices of San Diego Police to Park & Recreation, growing from just five lifeguards to a workforce of 100 during the peak summer season. Mesa College student Jacob Petty (right) received San Diego Lifesaving Association’s Citizen Rescue of the Year award. He and friend Jonathan Flike (left) were on the observation deck above Sunny Jim’s Cave July 10 when they heard cries for help and sprung into action. Courtesy
Under Hardy’s leadership lifeguards received training in CPR and first aid, and were given peace officer duties. Hardy retired in 1966.
Maher (along with his younger sister Page, now 31) first honed his life-saving skills in San Diego Lifeguard Services’ Junior Lifeguard program. These days he’s taken to ocean art photography. View his work at johnmaherphoto.com “It’s just another excuse to get in the ocean,” he joked. Before heading into the water, Maher advises that people always check in with a lifeguard about water conditions and current patterns. “We are always really happy to let people know where the safest places to swim are,” he said, adding, “One of our mottos is: When in doubt, don’t go out.”
student in the culinary arts program at Mesa College. “Eventually we realized someone was yelling for help.” Petty said he and his friend spotted a young woman face down in the water, and a young man in the water next to her screaming for help and struggling to hold onto her. “At that point I ran down to the rocks seeing if I could pull them in while Jonathan called the lifeguards,” Petty said. “By the time I got to the bottom the young male was gone. We weren’t sure where he was, if he got pulled under into the caves, but we could see the young woman was still floating in the water.” Petty swam about 10 to 15 feet offshore to the woman. “Her face was blue and she had foam coming out of her mouth, so it was clear she had swallowed quite a bit of seawater,” he said. Flike helped pull Petty and the woman onto the shore and lifeguards arrived a short time later to perform CPR. Lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky said the area where the rescue took place is unguarded and largely obscured from the view of lifeguards stationed at La Jolla Cove, just to the south. Lifeguard Luke Collins entered the mouth of Sunny Jim’s Cave and started to dive, where he eventually recovered the 22-year-old male victim, Azfar Alam of Downey, who was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he later died. u
Citizen Rescue of the Year
Conversely, UTC resident Jacob Petty, who received the Citizen Rescue of the Year award, has no water safety experience. He merely happened to be in the right place at the right time, and had the courage and quick wits to spring into action, which likely prevented the death of a 16-year-old girl. He and friend Jonathan Flike — whom Petty also credits with helping save the girl’s life — were standing on the observation deck above Sunny Jim’s Cave at about 7:30 p.m. July 10, waiting to have dinner at at a local restaurant. “At first we heard some muffled yelling; we didn’t really understand what we were hearing,” recalled Petty, 23, a

Football: La Jolla High beats Country Day in season opener By Ashley Mackin a Jolla High School’s Vikings varsity football team started the season with a victory against host La Jolla Country Day School Torreys during its Aug. 28 opening game. Before the season began, the Viking varsity squad held a scrimmage, where coach Jason Carter told La Jolla Light the plan for this year was to finish games strong. Heeding his advice, the young squad scored its winning points in the fourth quarter. The Vikings scored 12 points in the first quarter against Country Day’s seven points, followed by 24 points in the second quarter to Country Day’s 14 — bringing the score at halftime to 36-21 Vikings. In the third quarter, the Torreys scored 21 answered points and took the lead 42-36. But the Vikings rallied back scored 16 points in the fourth quarter to close things on top, 52-42. La Jolla’s next game is the one most players look forward to the most — its cross town rival game against The Bishop’s School Knights. The Vikings take on the Knights 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4 at its temporary home field (while the high school’s athletic field is under construction) of Mission Bay High School, 2475 Grand Ave. Vikings varsity football games in September include: • 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11 vs Fallbrook High School at University City, 6949 Genesee Ave. • 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 vs West Hills at Mission Bay, 2475 Grand Ave. • 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25 away game vs Coronado High School, 650 D Ave.

14,505 Feet of Fun?
10-year-old La Jollan and her family climb Mount Whitney By Ashley Mackin ust in time to wrap up an eventful summer and continue celebrating her 10th birthday, Bird Rock Elementary School fifth-grader Jenna Jaffe successfully scaled Mount Whitney in late August. Mount Whitney, located in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, is the highest summit in the continental United States. But it was no match for Jenna and her family, mother Linda, father Mike and sister Brin, 12, a student at Muirlands Middle School. It took the family, plus friends Leah Nelson and John Betlejewski, a few days to scale the mountain. Coming from a family of climbers, Jenna’s parents have trekked Mount Whitney before, but have never seen children complete the challenge. “We were told by a ranger that is a very special feat for someone so young,” said Linda Jaffe. The Jaffe family prepared for the climb with two other backpacking trips, one in the Sierras and one in Big Sur, and some practice hikes on Cowles Mountain with backpacks. For the Mount Whitney climb, the Jaffes spent Thursday night (Aug. 27) camping in Lone Pine, and starting climbing early Friday morning. They got to the base that night and then climbed to the summit and back to base Saturday — and to zero elevation on Sunday. Jenna said while she was a little scared and, at times, not excited about the climb, “After I completed it, it was great to say to say I did it.” She added, “When I looked up at the summit when we were at the base camp, I was pretty scared we had to do it. It was super high up and probably 3,000 steps to get up there. At first I didn’t want to do it, but when I got to the halfway point … I just kept going for it.” The trip from base camp to the summit was five miles up (then five miles back). When they finally made it to the top, she said, “I just collapsed on a rock.” Her favorite part of the trip as a new 10-year-old, was spotting animals, which included marmots, pikas and tiny

birds. A few mountain creatures got close enough to climb on their support poles or crawl around the family. “A bird landed right on my lap one time,” Jenna said. Another memorable moment came when the family reached the top and took in the expansive scene. “The view was so beautiful and there were all these lakes you could see
from the top — one lake is called Guitar Lake because it looks exactly like a guitar from above,” she said. But there were down sides. Jenna said while they were climbing, she missed the family cat Payton and of course, “the precious Internet.” Plus, at one point, she found herself not feeling well due to altitude sickness; which can occur at great heights and cause headaches, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, shortness of breath and dizziness. Dad Mike Jaffe said the secret is being proactive to avoid altitude sickness, and to address symptoms right away when they come up. “Go slowly, keep hydrated, eat a lot of carbohydrates — sometime people get nauseous, but you have to keep eating — keep warm and keep dry,” he said. In heeding her dad’s advice, she was able to recover and keep going. For Jenna, the food was both a great part and a terrible part. Before the climb, she ate a pancake that was so big, she had to circle her stretched arms to demonstrate. However, the freeze-dried food they took with them was “nasty” Jenna said, and the oatmeal her father made wasn’t very good. When they returned, she said she couldn’t wait for a decent meal. But for completing the trip, her parents both said they are extremely proud. “To be honest, I didn’t think she could do it …” Mike said. “Wait, you didn’t?!” Jenna interrupted. He laughed, “But mom had the confidence and we are so proud of her. It reminded me to not underestimate what our kids can do.” He also said having his children complete the trek teaches them to be goal-oriented. “They also have to realize the process might not always be fun, but they will be so proud of themselves when they finish,” he said. “It’s hard for kids to understand the goal, especially if they aren’t having fun in the moment, so it teaches them to have goals.” It worked. Jenna said, “Now I feel like I can climb any mountain!” u

Bayard Rustin’s Historic March
Playhouse poised for premiere of ‘Blueprints to Freedom’ By Diana Saenger ast year’s “Selma” — an Oscar nominee for Best Picture — brought the unresolved issue of freedom back to the forefront for new generations. Theatergoers are in for a similar reawakening when the world-premiere of “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin,” debuts at La Jolla Playhouse, Sept. 8–Oct. 4. The script comes from Michael Benjamin Washington. Lucie Tiberghien directs the production. Bayard Rustin, an openly gay black man born a Quaker, was a civil rights activist who early in his life became a conscientious objector during World War II. He spent a few years in jail, and, while there, tried to racially integrate the prison system. “Blueprints” begins in 1963 where Rustin is a proponent of non-violent civil disobedience. In the South, racial tensions have fostered a radical state of violence and danger. Rustin is assigned to organize a march for jobs and freedom. However, he becomes exiled from the Civil Rights Movement and struggles with his last chance for professional re-establishment and spiritual redemption. Tiberghien, who directed the Playhouse’s acclaimed production of the Afghan warcentered “Blood and Gifts” in 2012, as well as the DNA New Work Series readings of “Tranquil and Being Henrietta,” replaced director/actor Phylicia Rashad, who left the

L
director Michael S. Rosenberg, playwright Michael Benjamin Washington, director Lucie Tiberghien and playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley prepare for the world-premiere of ‘Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin.’ production citing scheduling conflicts. Tiberghien said she decided to become a director after watching directors at a Geneva, Switzerland dance school she attended. She adds this production to her lengthy resume and said she became intrigued by Rustin’s story when she saw the PBS documentary “Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin.” “I was interested in Bayard’s life, contributions and personal and political story,” Tiberghien said. “He worked closely with Martin Luther King and was the main architect of the March on Washington in 1963. That’s the event this play is centered on. Bayard traveled to India, and after Gandhi was assassinated, he studied nonviolence. He encouraged Martin Luther King to
Courtesy
embrace the ideas of passive resistance and nonviolence as a way to make change.” Washington wrote the play and also stars as Rustin. Tiberghien acknowledged his challenge. “It’s hard to be inside and out at the same time,” she said. “He’s doing an incredible job and is a wonderful actor. He has to step outside and look at the play objectively, and then step inside and look through the eyes of the main character. For me to help guide that process is very interesting.” Tiberghien said the creative team of Neil Patel, scenic design; Beth Goldenberg, costume design; Lap Chi Chu lighting design; Joe Huppert, sound design; John Narun, projection design; Gabriel Greene, dramaturg; and Peter Van Dyke, stage manager, is
essential in this type of production. “Michael’s writing is really strong and he has a clear sense of visuals, so he has written in a lot of visual projection into this project,” she said. “The work of the production designer, as well as the other designers, is key in making this historical event a theatrical piece. The march itself is an exciting, big production with historical footage and images. There’s a scene with Rustin and King that reveals who they are behind closed doors. I was also intrigued that Michael, with great insight, wrote a female character who is passionate and very active politically and socially.” “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin,” is a co-production with Kansas City Repertory Theatre. Of the production, Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley said, “With victories and setbacks to the cause of equality in the news every day, the ideas and themes of ‘Blueprints to Freedom’ call out urgently to us. We’re proud to welcome this dynamic and talented cast and creative team to illuminate Bayard Rustin’s quest for identity and redemption.” u n IF YOU GO: “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin,” runs Sept. 8-Oct. 4 in the Potiker Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive on the UC San Diego campus.

Wilcox, whose own parents were big boogie-woogie piano enthusiasts, said from the first time he riffed with Palmer in the early 1990s, they’ve had great creative chemistry. Add to the mix the sultry vocals of lead singer Deejha Marie Pope (and, more recently, her daughter of equally powerful pipes, Sharifah Muhammad) and the lineup is complete. “Everybody in town wants to play with April,” Wilcox enthused of West, who can also be heard honkin’ and slidin’ with San Diego’s Euphoria Brass Band. “Not only can she play the trombone with her foot, but she’s a great singer and can just basically write out parts.”

Palmer, whose new CD, “Bricktop,” pays homage to New Orleans’ early jazz scene and the music of the Harlem Renaissance and Café Society Paris, said she enjoys her annual gig at Scripps Park (before or after which she said she usually finds time to take a dip in the Cove). “It’s really fun and it’s life affirming — and it’s the only time I can get a parking place down there,” she said, with a laugh, noting organizers always reserve a space for her. A recipient of numerous San Diego Music Awards, not only has Palmer kept her band employed but she’s long sang the praises of other musicians — most notably, for the past three years as DJ and host of San Diego

really think something’s happening. My band is just fabulous. In some ways, I think my band stays together because I continue to get work.” Palmer’s longtime guitarist, Steve Wilcox, credits the band’s longevity to Palmer’s business acumen and the musicians’ longstanding friendship. Most of the Motel Swing Orchestra — including Wilcox, drummer Sharon Shufelt, trombonist April West, bassist Pete Harrison and Saxophone player Jonny Viau — have played with Palmer since the 1980s, when she banged out hot jazz and swing with
Tobacco Road, or later, while traveling the world performing with award-winning San Diego Blues singer Candye Kane. “When we get together, it’s not like going to work, it’s like going to a party,” said Wilcox, who was mentored early on by the likes of Paul Cowie of King Biscuit Blues Band and the late, legendary blues guitarist, Hollywood Fats. “I am like the luckiest man ever to be standing on Sue’s left side most of the time. I get to watch her play piano and just groove to this great boogie-woogie styling. For me there’s just nothing better. … I’ve got the best seat in the house and I really enjoy making music with my friends.”

Palmer brushes aside the oft-repeated lament that jazz and blues may be dying as art forms. “Improvisation is not going to die,” she chimed. “It’s just circular. … Everybody loves real super-progressive jazz. My friend Jeannie Cheatham was saying how it’s just like Bach (but with a different beat). (Jazz and blues) just needs to get out to the people maybe more now, so it’s not so

People love live music and they love to get all worked into a frenzy. … That’s why they love to come see me because I play just enough of it that they think they’re listening to jazz.” “Bricktop,” which features a cover of “Down Among the Sheltering Palms,” popularized by the Boswell Sisters and included on the soundtrack to the 1959 film “Some Like It Hot” (filmed at the Hotel Del Coronado), is a nod to the “swingin’ mamas” in her band, who’ve all “evolved” toward red hair — including Palmer, originally a blonde.

commonly known as “Bricktop,” an American dancer, singer, vaudevillian and saloon-keeper who owned nightclubs in Paris, Mexico City and Rome. “I’m sort of a Francophile and (devotee) of the whole café society era,” Palmer said. “I’m always interested in scenes and who was involved and how friends collaborated and worked off each other. … It’s just a fascinating period in time with so much going on.” To transport listeners to café society-era Paris, Bricktop fuses trumpet by Phil Shopoff and clarinet by Jean Paul Balmat. Although Palmer said one of her more remarkable experiences in France was
playing for 20,000 people with Candye Kane’s band at a festival in La Mans, she also relishes visiting a little-known museum dedicated to French cabaret singer and actress Edith Piaf (located in two rooms of a longtime fan’s fourth-story flat in northeast Paris), as well as performing Cole Porter’s “I Love Paris” with Kane at the New Morning Club stage that previously hosted everyone from Stan Getz and Chet Baker to Bob Dylan (the song is also included on “Bricktop”). “I just thought, ‘Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful! I’m playing this here in Paris. … Of course, they didn’t think it was so hot,” Palmer said, with a laugh. u

Sept. 13. It begins with a grand overview, a wall-size video montage that’s a moving mosaic of faces. Sit down and watch for awhile, as selected faces zoom out, one by one, into supersized real people, gazing straight at you and speaking to you, heart to heart. It’s stunning; and the longer you look and listen, the greater the impact. In the rooms beyond are four minitheaters, offering extended face-to-face contacts touching on different themes. There’s also a “Making Of” video, a wall of “Messages” from some of the interviewees, and computers that give you a chance to contribute your own thoughts and feelings to the online Others.

Arthus-Bertrand was so moved by the encounter that he established the GoodPlanet Foundation, which became the launchpad for “7 Billion Others,” a massive project seven years in the making that interviewed people around the world to discover what differentiates and unites us. It is, in fact, an attempt to create a global dialogue, a sense of worldwide community. Shown in Europe, Africa and Asia, “7 Billion Others” is now in its U.S. debut at MOPA, ending its seven-month stay

About Yann Arthus-Bertrand n Yann Arthus-Bertrand has had a varied career, as photographer, author, hot-air balloon pilot, director of an African nature reserve. n He founded the world’s first aerial photography agency and became known for his book, “Earth From Above,” which sold more than 3 million copies. To date, outdoor exhibitions of photos from the book have been seen by about 200 million people. (While researching this story, I realized: I was one of them, in the fall of 2000, in Paris.) n Subsequently, he created the GoodPlanet Foundation to raise awareness of environmental issues, and developed the project that started out as “6 Billion Others.” n A quote from his website: “There will be no sustainable development if we cannot manage to live together. [This project] encourages us to take action. I hope that each one of us will want to reach out and make these encounters, to listen to other people and to contribute to the life of 7 billion others.” n Three of the questions: “What have you learned from your parents? What difficult circumstances have you been through? What does love mean to you?” n 7billionothers.org: Includes a second-by-second count of the number of humans on Earth. As I started writing this, there were 7,349,875,250 of us. When I finished, there were 7,350,947,029. u

But wait, there’s more at MOPA: in Hendrik Kerstens’ “Model and Muse,” a contemporary Dutch master shows a series of striking and witty photo-portraits of his daughter that seem like beautifully rendered 15th-century Dutch paintings. Look closely: her headgear may be made of steel wool, plastic bags, or other detritus of our modern world. And then there’s “Seeing is Believing?” a new gallery where MOPA’s old store used to be that’s full of interesting and sometimes interactive pieces, along with fascinating photographic and historical facts. Hot Tip: For the ultimate Selfie, add your own image and moves to Self/
Reflection. Skip lunch or the gym if you must, but don’t miss these three great exhibits. And give yourself plenty of time; you might end up spending a whole afternoon. u n If you go: “7 Billion Others” closes Sept. 13. “Model and Muse” closes Sept. 27. “Seeing is Believing?” is a semipermanent exhibit.

The series kicked off in May with Chef William Bradley of the Addison at the Grand Del Mar, followed in June by Chef Bernard Guillas of the Marine Room, and Chef Accursio Lota of Solare Restaurant & Lounge in July. The most recent event on Aug. 24 featured Tapanade Chef Jean Michel

Chef Diot impressed the guests with a rustic Lamb Navarin, a springtime stew combining seasonal flavors with succulent lamb shoulder and vegetables that transported tasters to the French Provence in one bite! Guests not only watched Chef Diot’s preparation, but engaged him in a Q&A while sipping on wine from Vin Diego. Canter Companies and doctors Guiseppe Ammirati and Sean Pakbaz, sponsor the events and make it possible for all the proceeds to go to the food bank. For those who haven’t experienced this one-of-a-kind dinner, the next will feature Chef Trey Foshee of George’s at the Cove, 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5.

Renowned academic librarian to speak at UCSD benefit
S
arah Thomas, vice-president for the Harvard Library, will be the keynote speaker at UC San Diego’s 12th annual Dinner in the Library, 5:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 in the Geisel Library building. The event, which is open to the public, will celebrate the theme “Building for the Future,” with proceeds supporting UCSD Library’s collections, services and learning spaces. Festivities will include dinner and cocktails and a silent auction. Thomas’ talk, “Back to the Future with the Brave New Library,” will focus on how libraries are changing to meet evolving scholarly and public needs in new and often unexpected ways. Before joining Harvard in 2013 to head the university’s vast library system, Thomas served as Bodley’s Librarian, overseeing the libraries of the University of Oxford, including the renowned Bodleian Library, which dates back to the 12th century. She was the first woman and non-British citizen to hold Oxford’s head librarian position, and published “The Bod Squad” in Transforming the Bodleian (2012), detailing her experiences. Previously, Thomas served as the Carl A. Kroch University Librarian at
The 12th annual Dinner in the Library takes place 5:30-9:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 at UC San Diego’s Geisel Library. Cornell University. “We are thrilled to host Sarah Thomas for a talk addressing the future of libraries in the digital age,” said Brian E.C. Schottlaender,
The Audrey Geisel University Librarian. “Like many libraries across the nation — and around the globe — we see library facilities and resources being used just as much as in the past, but in different ways.” UCSD Library provides access to more than 7 million digital and print volumes, journals and multimedia materials to meet the intellectual needs of scholars, students and community members. Library users have 24/7 digital access to almost 600,000 e-books, 42,000 e-periodicals and about 300,000 items from the Library’s digitized local collections. With a lead gift from Audrey Geisel, the Library recently launched the Geisel Library Revitalization Initiative to update key interior spaces. In addition to Thomas’ talk, the evening will also feature presentation of the Geisel Citation for Library Philanthropy. The 2015 recipients are the late Kenneth and Dorothy Hill. Their substantial gift to the Library of some 500 rare volumes formed the nucleus of The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages, recognized as the world’s most extensive gathering of publications documenting early voyages of exploration and discovery

From 10 Questions, B1 What brought you to La Jolla? My father received a job managing an apartment complex in Pacific Beach while my family lived in Coronado. I fell in love with La Jolla, where I have my primary residence. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Charger stadium on the waterfront! My vision was to build a world-class stadium that would not only support our Chargers team, but also benefit the City of San Diego and attract fans and visitors from around the world. I couldn’t imagine anything better than a sporting experience in downtown San Diego overlooking one of the most beautiful waterfronts in the nation! Who or what inspires you? God and family. God inspires me to be a better person every day and my family inspires me, as they are the most precious to me. I am so grateful for the gift of their lives and proud of each and every one of them. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Family — I am most happy and at peace when I am with my family. I cherish our times together creating positive memories. What are your five favorite movies? I only have two — “Cinderella Man” and
“Forrest Gump.” “Cinderella Man” because I admired James Braddock’s persistence, dedication and determination to fight and do whatever it took to win and support his family, and I was most fond of Forrest’s commitment toward those he loved most. What is it that you most dislike? Politicians who never honor their word. I believe politicians have one of the hardest jobs. Many men and women enter the profession with the right goals and objectives, and end up being swayed by their political party. I honor the leader who truly stands up for his or her own beliefs, has the best intent for our nation at heart, and leads our country forward. What is your motto/philosophy of life? My philosophy is to live life like it is the Super Bowl every day — only without any time outs or instant replays. What would be your dream vacation? A private yacht in Croatia. My lovely wife, Geniya, and I plan to travel to Croatia. What clothing item in your closet will you never part with? Comfortable running shoes. I have competed in 13 marathons and 16 half marathons, and believe that staying active is vital to a long and healthy life. What are your favorite comfort foods? Italian dishes are my favorite comfort foods! u

Remembering Sally B. at Haute with Heart luncheon
W
ith a nod to the late, great fashionista and philanthropist Sally B. Thornton who passed away in June, the 38th annual St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center “Haute with Heart” luncheon took the theme “I Love Fashion” Aug. 15 at the Hilton Bayfront. News anchors Dan Cohen and Kimberly King emceed the event where paddle raise donations included one at $50,000, one at $25,000 and one at $10,000 amid many smaller gifts to net more than $116,000. Proceeds will be used for St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center arts and aquatics programs, the El Cajon-based center serves adults with developmental disabilities. A moment of silence honored the memory of Sally B., and her widower, John Thornton, was presented with an award from St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center in recognition of the Thornton’s support over the years. He also took home the U.S. flag that was flown over the State Capital in memory of Sally’s philanthropic accomplishments, compliments of Assemblyman Brian Jones. The afternoon featured boutique shopping, lunch, live and silent auctions, a runway fashion show created by Leonard Simpson, “I Love Lucy” impersonators and a performance of “I’m a Believer” from the center’s recent production of “Shrek the Musical Jr.” Center students walked the runway in fashions from Macy’s of Fashion Valley. u Photos by Vincent Andrunas

Back-to-school food lessons, Part 2
S
tudents need to fuel their brains with high-octane foods. That means hearty breakfasts to jump-start the brain wiring, loads of leafy greens and Technicolor berries to tune up focus and concentration, along with healthful herbs and teas to spark energy levels and memory.
n Breakfast of Champions: Eat this meal like a king or queen, lunch like a duke or duchess, and dinner like a pauper. Food gurus, school administrators, teachers, athletes and smart moms and dads realize that breakfast, hands down is the most important meal of the day for shifting the brain into high gear. Whole wheat breads, muffins and energy bars have been found to channel mental focus; old-fashioned oatmeal is a nutritional source of glucose to sustain the brainpower throughout the morning; organic yoghurt, berries and bananas, an omega-3 breakfast pizza with smoked salmon and feta cheese, and especially a flax seed smoothie loaded with alphalinolenic acid will dial up mental performance and repair stressed brain cells. n Tea(cheers): If coffee is not your cup of
tea, try a steaming brew of Yerba Mate. These South American tea leaves will perk up the brain similar to a caffeine-infused drink, but without the energy crash. n Brainy Berries: Blueberries are packed with a variety of micronutrients, including Vitamins B6, C and K along with manganese, antioxidant pigments and phytochemicals. These are attributed to enhancing long-term memory and cognitive processing, along with shielding the brain from free-radical attack. So toss them on your pancakes, cereal, salads, ice cream and yoghurt, and rejoice. The açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-eeh, meaning “fruit that cries”) is another brainy berry. Packed with antioxidants, omega fatty acids, amino acids, fiber, Vitamins A, B6, C and E, iron and calcium this little gem has been linked to boosting mental performance, in addition to staving off age-related brain ailments. As a Brazilian import, the açaí is only available as a juice fruit pulp or freezedried powder. Its rich taste blending purple berries with bittersweet chocolate makes it delightful in smoothies and the traditional Brazilian frozen açaí bowls.
Minty Walnut Pesto n Ingredients: • 1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves • 1 large garlic clove • 1/3 cup walnut pieces • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese • Salt and black pepper to taste n Method: In a food processor or blender, add basil, mint, walnuts, garlic, salt and pepper, and blend until minced. Slowly add a stream of oil until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy texture. Place in a glass bowl and fold in the cheese. Blend with your favorite pasta or use as a sandwich spread. Cover and refrigerate for up to three days. n Salad Smarts: Popeye, the comic-strip character endowed with brilliant problemsolving skills and investigative powers along with scientific savvy (and impressive forearms), can surely attribute these talents to the large doses of spinach he consumed. A neurological study has shown that those who eat two or more servings of leafy green vegetables a day had significantly improved mental focus. n Memory Mentors — Jot them down: Rosemary, the aromatic evergreen of Mediterranean roots, not only jazzes up boring chicken and tames the gamey flavor of lamb, but also snaps memory back into shape. Rosemary contains carnosic acid

Self-taught musician Todd Hoover can be found playing a variety of interesting instruments most evenings on the Village streets of La Jolla.
photos by terry ratner
Garage Virtuoso
Flutist Todd Hoover performs in the key of free! By Terry Ratner t was a Wednesday evening in August, at an hour when most small American cities had gone quiet, but in the buzzy Jewel-by-the-Sea town, there was a flutist playing his heart out on Prospect Street. Performing to an appreciative audience doesn’t always mean having to pitch a venue, schedule a gig and promote it all over town. Todd Hoover, a self-proclaimed busker by night and mild-mannered pharmacy tech by day, takes his tunes to the streets playing informally to audiences in the Village of La Jolla. Hoover performs at the entrance to a parking garage, sandwiched between the First Republic Bank and the La Jolla Athletic Club. Lined up on a makeshift stage, his collection of exotic instruments assumes the respectability of a museum exhibit. If you walk downtown after 5 p.m., you’ll hear Hoover as he entertains strolling couples, tourists, seal watchers and dancing kids with his assortment of flutes, mouth organs and pipes. His music, soft and sweet, proves the perfect antidote to screeching cars, motorcycles and emergency sirens. I ask about a pipe instrument he made from a Victorian period easel bought at an old La Jolla consignment store. It reminds me of Gheorghe Zamfir, originally from Romania, the master of the pan pipe. “I transposed it into pan pipes with the help of a crafty friend. We had to work out the length of the various bamboos,” he laughs. “Whoever appreciates the easel? They’re looking at the painting. This pipe is a repurposed easel.”
I
I ask, “Which is your most exotic flute?” “This one, the moseño,” he answers, “made of the longest bamboo section found anywhere on the planet. It grows in Lake Titicaca, the highest fresh water lake in the world deep in the Andes where the Aymara Indians build their islands out of bamboo and reeds. For them, music is religion.” I ask him if he plays requests. “People are different these days. They like what they hear, listen from a distance, and hand their kids money to give me because they enjoy the music. They don’t want to stay too long because they are into their own thing.” He talks about a popular song he loves by Jennifer Lopez, the tune of “Lambada,” based on the “Llorando Se Fue” (She Left Crying), then precedes to play. I wanted to know how he learned to play all these instruments and asked him if he had lessons. “I’m mostly self-taught. At age eight, I took piano for six months and proceeded to write 10 songs. When I learn a new instrument, I simply close my eyes, picture the keyboard (the diatonic scale) and how it’s laid out. Every other instrument falls into place.” He asks me to choose an instrument from his collection and I point to a red plastic keyboard, looking like a children’s toy. “It’s a fancy key harmonica called a Hohner Melodica,” he says. “I tend to go back and forth between that and the traditional harp.” I liken the Melodica to an accordion and harmonica making love. He laughs and says, “The thing about the
accordion is you go in and out like a harmonica, but this is all blown out like a push-button harp.” “When you learn a new instrument, is there a learning curve?” I wonder. “No,” he says, “My motto is, ‘never practice, always play.’ Music teaches me — it has a spirit of its own.” “What is it that motivates you to come here five days a week and entertain?” I prod. “I love playing. This is a place where I can play as loud as I want. The fact that I am compensated for it with extra sushi money is a bonus,” he says. “I discover new musical options all the time. For example, I’ve never incorporated maracas before, but when you have a one-handed instrument, you’re free hand to play another rhythm and be like Stevie Wonder.” “What is it you love about being a street performer? Did you ever think about playing in a bar or dinner house?” “Been there, done that, back in the 20th century. I did gigs, for the La Jolla Historical Society, women’s clubs, parades, the country club. You get dinner for two and your mug in the paper. I like this better. I perform what I want and when I want.” Hoover admits to sometimes bringing his flute to his day job, “Always have my music on my person. You never know when there is a special occasion. In fact, today is my birthday.” I suggest placing a sign. He laughs and says, “No, I like to stay low key. As for my music, I’m not looking to get anything out of it, really, but the joy of playing.” u

North Coast Repertory Theatre primed for Season 34 From NCRT Reports
I
n choosing the roster for North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 34th Season, artistic director David Ellenstein said plays were picked that celebrate the joy, pathos and resiliency of the human spirit. “We chose works that we believe not only reflect the tastes of our loyal subscribers, but will also appeal to a wide spectrum of theater-lovers throughout the county,” he said. The intimate theater is poised to present a mix of West Coast premieres “including comic gems, absorbing dramas and a delightful musical.” 1) The season opens Sept. 9 with Ken Ludwig’s “The Fox on the Fairway.” Matthew Wiener directs the laugh fest, which plays through Oct. 11. 2) Tony Award-winning actress Judith Ivey directs the West Coast premiere of “Chapatti” by Christian O’Reilly, Oct. 21-Nov. 15. Two lonely animal lovers in Dublin cross paths, and an unexpected spark begins as they re-discover the importance of human companionship. This heartwarming second-chance comedy celebrates unforgettable characters who still believe in love. 3) “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Great Nome Gold Rush,” kicks off the New Year. Ellenstein directs the World premiere, Jan. 13-Feb. 7, 2016. The world’s greatest sleuth will stop at nothing to prove a client innocent of murder, even if it means traveling to the Wild West frontier town of Nome, Alaska, and ending up at a bar run by Wyatt Earp. This wild and wooly adventure is full of intrigue, mystery, deception and duplicity. 4) “Now You See It” plays Feb. 24-March 20, 2016. It’s the West Coast premiere of a farce by the French master George Feydeau, in a brilliant translation by British playwright Kenneth McLeish and directed by
Bruce Turk. Audiences witness a dizzying escapade fueled by jealousy bordering on paranoia, a philandering husband, hypnotism, a spurned lover and a scandalous discovery. 5) The third West Coast premiere, “Way Downriver: William Faulkner’s ‘Old Man’” debuts April 13-May 8, 2016 with Ellenstein at the helm. A flood of Biblical proportions on the mighty Mississippi provides the dramatic backdrop to this edge-of-your seat adventure. It reveals an unlikely pair of souls who are bound together by the forces of nature, and who struggle to overcome their fears and prejudice in order to survive their harrowing experiences. 6) “Hedda Gabler,” arguably one of the most complex and intriguing female characters ever written, will have its world premiere adaptation, created by the company at North Coast Rep, translated by Anne-Charlotte Harvey and directed by Ellenstein. It’s a mesmerizing tale of a woman trapped in a loveless marriage and driven by a need for power and freedom, June 1-26, 2016. 7) Season 34 concludes with “Ain’t Misbehavin’” July 13-Aug. 7, 2016, directed by Obie Award winner Yvette Freeman. Based on the signature Fats Waller song, this rousing musical revue takes audiences back to the glory days of the Harlem Renaissance when the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom served as playgrounds for high society. u n The holiday show will be the return engagement of “This Wonderful Life” by Steve Murray and starring James Leaming, Dec. 8-27. n North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets: (858) 481-1055 or northcoastrep.org

Helping Workers Reduce Workplace Stress The main area in which Americans feel growing stress in their lives is at the workplace. In fact, chronic employee stress has been considered by some researchers to be reaching epidemic levels. And while not every employee feels the same type or degree of stress, it is easy to see how a stressful environment can affect not only the workers but the workplace and company as a whole. So what can be done to fight this? First, it’s important to understand the causes of workplace stress. According to a recent study on stress in American households by the American Psychological
Association, parents, women, younger generations such as Millennials, and those making less than $50,000 a year report the highest levels of stress in general, mostly because they are worried about having enough money. On top of this, the APA study shows that struggling financially can strain people’s cognitive abilities, which often leads to poor decision-making, which in turn affects or perpetuates ongoing financial and health issues. All this leads back to the workplace. The five greatest workplace-related stressors start with the amount of compensation and a heavy workload. Next, employees report tension as a result of colleagues, their commute from home to work, and because they are not working in their chosen career industry. Rounding out the main aggravators of stress are concerns over poor work-life balance, fear of losing their job, and fear there is no room for them to advance within the company.
Unfortunately, employers don’t always have the ability to resolve all of the stressinducing aspects for their employees. Employers cannot change the length of an employee’s commute, for example, and often times, employers of especially smaller businesses are unable to offer additional compensation or wage increases. But there are still ways that employers can reduce employee stress, with the potential incentive of increasing productivity. First, it is up to employers to cultivate a positive working environment. This can be as simple as offering praise and recognition, and when possible, advancement opportunities, incentive programs, and even skill-building sessions. A negative working environment is a leading cause of workers’ insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Next, it is critical for employers to assess their employees’ workload. Since a heavy workload is one of the top sources of employee stress, employers should take note of how many hours of overtime are being
regularly clocked. This doesn’t mean simply to cut out overtime compensation to reduce costs, as this can increase the burden on employees’ finances. But when employees are forced to work longer hours, there is a high risk of burnout, or at least of decreased productivity in those extended hours. Employers should be mindful of when it is time to hire a new person, or if there is a specific seasonal increase in workload to consider taking on a temporary worker to keep up productivity when demands are higher. This is also why it is important for employers to not remain distant from their workers—they must listen and engage, beyond basic or everyday conversation. It’s no great leap between a lack of communication between departments or staff to frustration and workplace tension.
