Attention! Committee wants Children’s Pool bullhorn ban your voice counts

Bishop’s tops La Jolla High in water polo showdown, A18

‘Royal’ floral designer to visit La Jolla Village Garden Club, B1

By Dave Schwab No more bullhorns at La Jolla Children’s Pool by unanimous vote of La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. on Feb. 27. The committee, which is charged with oversight of coastal parks, voted to send a letter requesting the city begin enforcing existing ordinances relating to public nuisance noise at the wading pool that has become a battleground for pro-seal advocates versus ocean-users, including divers and fishermen. The bullhorn issue was raised by diver David Pierce, a committee member, who noted tensions between the two sides at Children’s Pool are escalating with the advent of the harbor seals’ Dec. 15 to May 15 pupping season. Pierce said pro-seal advocates have become more vocal in ramping up their efforts to protect marine mammals from human en-

croachment. “Weekend noise pollution down there is really getting out of hand,” said Pierce. “Anyone going on the sand is subject to harassment. We’re talking vulgar language; calling people ‘monsters.’ Monsters? These are tourists and visitors coming here.” Pierce pointed out there are numerous ordinances on the books prohibiting noise at beaches that are not being enforced by park rangers or police for fear of lawsuits being filed against the city. Ken Hunrichs, a pro-beach access advocate, said animal rights activists are “driving tourists off the beach.” He said the city, by allowing seal activists to continue violating city noise regulations with impunity, has fostered

he observation deck overlooking the ocean adjacent to Eddie V’s restaurant is now open to the public. Don Allison owns the property, which was once part of the historic Green Dragon Colony. Now a loose collection of galleries and boutiques, the small complex of a dozen rustic wooden buildings previously served as a retreat for writers, actors, musicians and artists. Allison said the observation deck will be renamed “Mosier Point,” in honor of the La Jolla architect who designed Eddie V’s as his last project before retiring. “Bob’s (Mosier’s) family bought the property in 1944 and he’s been closely associated with it for more than 65 years,” Allison said. “We bought it in 1991. I just felt it was proper to honor him in that way.” Allison said a plaque is being made and the observation deck will be dedicated in Mosier’s name in about a month.

From Bullhorns, A1 an attitude among them that “they feel entitled to do just about anything they want to do down there now during pupping season.” Hunrichs said people reacting to seal activists blaring messages with bullhorns invites physical confrontations. “People come up with their kids who’ve been yelled at and say, ‘Why are you doing this to my children?’ ” he said. Attorney Bryan Pease of the Animal Protection and Rescue League, who is also a First District City Council candidate, has said the benefit to using bullhorns at Children’s Pool is “a quick and efficient way to announce from the sidewalk for people to stay a safe distance from pregnant and nursing seals when they cross the rope and get too close during pupping season.” Pease said if the city would simply enforce the city council’s resolution to keep people out of the rookery during pupping season, “none of this would be an issue.” A hearing on whether to keep the rope barrier at Children’s Pool up year-round

separating people from seals, scheduled to be heard by the California Coastal Commission in March, has been postponed until July. In other matters • Preserving views: Mark Evans, a Park Row resident, said he and other neighbors have raised private funding for periodic tree trimming to restore public ocean views. • Beach signs: Parks committee member John Beaver will host a meeting of a new sign subcommittee to discuss specifications for educational signage along the coast, proposed by the La Jolla Community Foundation. The group will meet 3 p.m. Monday, March 5 at Café Mojo, 7513 La Jolla Blvd. “I want to extend an invitation to the La Jolla Community Foundation to have a representative meet with us,” Beaver said. “We want to discuss sign aesthetics, the size of them, the colors and so forth. We want to approve the placement of signs, since we have responsibility for the coastline and the parks.”

UC San Diego to host Dr. Seuss birthday bash Friday on campus The University of California, San Diego campus is making preparations for one of its favorite events — the annual birthday celebration to pay homage to the campus’s most beloved icon, Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991), also known as Dr. Seuss. The party, which is open to Dr. Seuss fans both on and off campus, will be held at 11:50 a.m., Friday at the foot of Library Walk in front of Geisel Library, named in 1995 for Theodor Geisel and his wife, Audrey. Guests will be greeted by a giant inflatable Cat in the Hat, and receive free punch and cake — some 2,000 pieces of cake will be served to mark the occasion. Dr. Seuss’ birthday also coincides with the release of “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax,” a feature film by Universal Pictures, a 3D adaptation (from the creators of “Despicable Me”) of the classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope. UC San Diego Chancellor Marye Anne Fox and The Audrey Geisel University Librarian, Brian E.C. Schottlaender, will be on hand to dole out slices of cake and greet attendees. Musical entertainment will be provided by The Teeny Tiny Pit Orchestra, directed by the Libraries’ Scott Paulson, which will be playing songs from “The Cat in the Hat Songbook.” In addition to the birthday party, an exhibit of materials from the Dr. Seuss Collection will be on view through March 9 in Geisel Library. UC San Diego’s Mandeville Special Collections Library is the world’s main repository for the original works of Dr. Seuss. The approximately 10,000 items in the Dr. Seuss collection, which includes original drawings, manuscript

Ooh La La Dance Academy will get diagonal parking on Cuvier Street parking change. Committee member Tom Brady moved approval of the change from parallel to diagonal parking, which garnered unanimous support from the group.

By Dave Schwab La Jolla Traffic & Transportation (T&T) Board unanimously endorsed a proposal by a Cuvier Street businessowner to replace parallel with diagonal parking on a section of the east side of the street creating 10 or more additional parking spaces. “I have more than 170 signatures and the support of all the businesses around,” Susi Nguyen, owner of Ooh La La Dance Academy at 7467 Cuvier St., told T&T Board Feb. 23.

client-intensive businesses, like a yoga studio and two dance academies, in the immediate vicinity. “I have parents dropping their kids off for dance classes from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. daily and they have to park at least two blocks away,” Nguyen said fearing the situation is becoming dangerous. A stretch of Cuvier near her business is exactly as wide as it needs to be — 54 feet — to have diagonal parking on both sides of the street. “It’s 54 feet until the street starts to narrow, 23 cars down,” she said. “If you put diagonal in, you could get a minimum of 10 more parking spaces in, maybe 12.” T & T chair Todd Lesser told Nguyen, “You’re going to be very well liked, people want more parking.” Phil Coller, chair of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), said the group has endorsed Nguyen’s request for a

In other action The board reiterated its stance that it will not approve any additional valet parking in the Village until a survey and a comprehensive master plan are done. Coller said LJVMA has also approved doing a survey of valet parking for its own members from Cave Street to Hershel Avenue. “There’s been a certain amount of confusion about valet parking,” said Brady adding an effort will be undertaken by La Jolla community planners to begin the survey process by first meeting with the three or four companies currently providing valet services in the Village. Note: The proposed Cuvier parking change and a request for new valet parking at 7979 Ivanhoe Ave. to accommodate the new Amaya La Jolla Restaurant under construction on Prospect Street, will both be on La Jolla Community Planning Association’s agenda at the 6 p.m. March 1 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center.

Cove stench ‘cleanser’ needs approval from board By Dave Schwab How to quell the smell from hell at this point is hard to tell. “It can be something complicated,” said David Barker of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), San Diego region, about resolving the odor problem caused by bird- and marine-mammal waste buildup at the Cove, one of La Jolla’s signature landmarks. A solution has been proposed to snuff the smell: Use of Prefered Water Alternative. A non-toxic, biomass agent derived from pomegranate and chia seeds, Prefered’s L.A.based manufacturer-distributor, Carlos Sebastian, claims his product is totally effective in counteracting odors and entirely harmless to the environment. “I’ve been using it for 35 years and I don’t have any complaints,” said Sebastian, who’s used Prefered to combat odors at everything from zoos to dairies and claims, “You can take it and squirt it in your eye and it won’t hurt you.” Approached in January with using Preferred Water Alternative at the Cove to stem the stench, Stacey LoMedico with the City’s Park and Recreation Department said the city would investigate the product’s chemical properties and render an opinion as to its viability. In an e-mail last week, LoMedico said city staff has sent a letter stating the next step in getting Prefered considered is to “get a letter from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) approving the use of the product.” “It’s not a simple process, like you apply for a driver’s license and you get it the next day,” said Barker about the hurdles that need to be cleared before Prefered could be used as an odor eater at the Cove. “It can be a drawn-out process depending on what the

City staff said the next step in getting Prefered Water Alternative OK’d for use as a cleansing agent is to “get a letter from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) approving the use of the product.” Susan DeMaggio product is.” Noting federal law requires anything discharged into surface waters to be permitted, Barker said the starting point in applying for Prefered would be to “write a letter to the RWQCB describing exactly what it is and what you want to do with it, and then take it from there.” Barker said an application would have to be filed for a permit, and that other agencies with jurisdiction might also conceivably

want to weigh in. The permit process, he said, could take months and would have to be renewed every five years with notice of renewal 180 days in advance. “Technical staff would have to review it to see if the discharge is allowable and would meet water-quality standards,” Barker said. Next, there would be a public hearing process. Ultimately, Barker said, “a board appointed by the governor votes on whether or not

to adopt the permit.” The process seems like a lot, but Barker said, “it’s done purposely to make sure that discharges that are allowed are appropriate and don’t result in pollution of the receiving waters.” Sebastian said he hasn’t applied for an RWQCB permit yet, but “I can jump through hoops,” adding the Cove’s odor problem is “just going to be compounding as it (animal waste) adds up.”

$30,000 gate will provide easier access to blufftop nature reserve By Pat Sherman Interpretive dancers clad in billowing white frolicked through Scripps’ blufftop nature reserve Feb. 25 as drummers drummed and a Balinesian dancer blessed the land where La Jollan Indians cooked shellfish brought up from the ocean some 4,400 years ago. The event was was held to commemorate the addition of a $30,000 steel entrance gate that will provide easier access to the reserve during the day and protect unwanted visitors from tramping through the sensitive habitat at night. The majority of the funding came from UC San Diego, at the urging of Chancellor Marye Anne Fox, who dedicated the new gate during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Fox said the gate, which offers access to the bluff and a half-mile Biodiversity Trail loop, was an opportunity for the university to be a “good neighbor and for the neighbors in the region to appreciate what we’re trying to do.” The blufftop reserve, also referred to as “the Knoll,” is one of 37 pieces of land that comprise the UCSD Natural Reserve System, which includes terrain ranging from coastal canyons to a submerged coastal plain. The bluffs just below and north of the Knoll serve as habitat for nesting Peregrine falcons, which returned to the site in 2005, after a 50-year absence. Last year, as many as 1,700 students attended classes outside at the reserve. Two research projects funded by the National Science Foundation also are underway there.

“A reserve of this sort has so many different uses,” said Fox, touting its “beauty” and “functionality.” Fox said the new gate is an extension of the university’s community outreach, which included spending more than $500,000 last year to restore lifeguard services at Black’s Beach, which is accessible from the Knoll via a trail leading down the cliff. “Even in times of complete austerity we have (to commit) to do things like this,” Fox said. The trail is home to various wildlife, from lizards and snakes to cottontail rabbits and the threatened California gnat-catcher, a relative of the wren, which feeds on small insects in the coastal sage scrub. UCSD’s Vice Chancellor for Research, Sandra Brown, said the old gate did not provide adequate security for the sensitive coastal habitat and made the trail difficult for seniors to access. “We’ve made it a much more inviting and welcoming,” Brown said. Isabelle Kay, academic coordinator and manager of UCSD’s reserve system, said the gate was 10 years in the making, and came at the urging of many La Jolla Farms residents, including the late surfer Ward Alksne. Earnest Lotecka and Carol Stultz, who lead hikes for the Sierra Club, found out about the event and the blufftop reserve after receiving a notice from the club. “We’ve actually never been on this trail,” Lotecka said. “This is a find.” Encinitas resident Christine Stevens, who

Meditation man guides students to calmer, more balanced selves By Pat Sherman When people hear the word ‘meditation,’ the image of a person sitting in the lotus position uttering the ‘om’ incantation often springs to mind — along with the misconception that it is a complicated mental process primarily designed to alter consciousness. La Jolla-based meditation instructor Michael DeFrancisco says that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Each week at the Blessing Meditation Center on Herschel Avenue, DeFrancisco guides his students through exercises that require little effort and are designed to keep the mind alert, while placing the body in a state of rest that he says can be more than twice as deep as the deepest sleep. “Meditation always looks like it’s somewhat esoteric, but it’s not — it’s practical,” said DeFrancisco, who has taught it to people of all ages and backgrounds, from teens struggling with peer pressure to doctors with overwhelming caseloads and artists striving to free up more creativity. In the short-term, these practical benefits typically include a reduction in stress, increased focus, and a sense of happiness and well-being that can last for days. “When I talk about stress, I’m talking about eliminating it, not managing it — purifying the nervous system so that stress is not present causing an imbalance,” DeFrancisco said. “Stress is a thief, robbing us of our own relaxed, loving, happy and productive nature,” he added, noting that stress often

Blessing Meditation Center ■ 7759 Herschel Avenue, Suite B ■ (619) 832-0205 ■ blessingmeditation.com ■ michael@blessingmeditation.com stems from today’s culture of over-achievement and people’s tendency to seek happiness in outcomes. The cumulative, long-term benefits of regular meditation, DeFrancisco said, include transformative insight, an enduring sense of joy that is independent of external factors, and an increased ability to convey love and compassion. “Rest is the primary prescription for correcting disease,” he said. “If you go to the doctor, the first thing they say to you if you’re sick is get some rest. They know the body’s going to go to work by itself and offer an opportunity for healing.” DeFrancisco, who grew up in the blue-collar steel town of Bethlehem, Pa., said he lived the standard “sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll” lifestyle when he discovered meditation in 1974. The following year, he completed a six-month resident training program with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, leader of the transcendental meditation movement. From there, he went on to work in a large meditation center in Philadelphia, ultimately preferring to take on students for private sessions as the years progressed.

Michael DeFranciso, explains the meditative process at the Blessing Meditation Center on Herschel Avenue. Along the way, he watched the wellness industry grow, and modalities such as acupuncture, yoga, Reiki and others flourish. “I realized that all these people who had taken advantage of much of the modalities were in the same stressful situations — a lot of neurosis, a lot of anxiety and tension.” Here’s how it works DeFrancisco’s students start by repeating a mantra — a meaningless word or phrase — that is spoken softer and gradually only repeated as a faint notion in the mind. He works to take students “off the grid” of their unconscious minds, which bombard them with negative messages or fight-or-flight responses that make them react to stress in negative or exaggerated ways. “The unconscious governs most people’s thought, speech and actions,” he said. “It’s a dastardly thing.” DeFrancisco helps guide students to an inner state of calm wakefulness he refers to as “pure being.” “All I’m teaching is how you become fully awake and what that means,” he said. “Does it mean that there’s not an issue with the kids or with finances? No. It means your response to it doesn’t throw you so far out of balance.”

Coronado resident Peggy Templeman began her meditation under DeFrancisco’s tutelage four years ago. She now meditates six to seven times per week and attends DeFrancisco’s Sunday morning group meditation, which includes a blessing ceremony. “I was looking for something to help control my temper and calm me down,” Templeton said. “It’s been incredibly helpful. I still have a temper but it gets longer to get there. I can feel the difference and the people around me can feel the difference.” Jane Wheeler of Bird Rock has been practicing yoga for nearly two decades. She decided to try DeFrancisco’s meditation sessions about six months ago, at La Jolla Yoga Center, where he also teaches two nights per week. “It takes the edge off when you get worked up over stuff — when your mind spins out of control,” Wheeler said, adding that meditation also has improved her sleep. DeFrancisco also offers sessions over the phone and via Skype to clients around the world, and is currently working on a podcast and book. “Everyone knows there’s something more,” he said. “What I do is offer a systematic way to help people uncover that value, which is already there.”

Migrating shorebirds are now stopping by our beaches, bluffs

Natural La Jolla By Kelley Stewart

pring in La Jolla is just around the corner and the little birds that are heading up north and east of us to start their families are making their way past our coastline. Every day when I’m out walking, I see little groups of light gray and white birds, some with tails bobbing and others standing around facing into the wind. There are several species migrating past right now, and many more that winter here. Shorebirds tend to be really hard to identify — at least for me — as most of them are now still in their winter plumage. Willets (Catoptrophorus semipalmatus) are tall light grayish birds with

greenish legs. They have characteristic black-andwhite bands on their wings when they are flying. Their call is strikingly loud — “willwill-willet-will-willet.” They nest further inland (and further north) as well as throughout the northern Midwest. Another little bird you might see is the black-bellied plover (Pluviatis squatarola). In breeding plumage this bird is quite beautiful with a dark black belly and face, but you’re not likely to see one in that plumage here. In winter, while he’s here though, he may be recognized by his short straight black bill and black legs. These birds are unique in that their footprint in the sand has only 3 digits as they lack a fourth (backward facing) digit that other sandpipers have. Black-bellied plovers nest on the Arctic tundra. For the next couple of months, and with the great weather we’ve been having, there should be plenty of opportunity for shorebird watching.

Standing around with a couple of friends, a black-bellied plover takes a rest. Birds may stand on one leg to minimize heat loss from an un-feathered part of their body.

A willet takes a walk. Light gray with greenish legs, this bird can be hard to identify when it is alone, but its wing bands and call are unmistakable. Photos by Jeremy W Smith

A marbled godwit (Limosa fedoa) looks for lunch. These birds like to probe their two-toned beaks way down into the sand to find worms and clams.

Students’ project to benefit Rwandan orphans By Pat Sherman About $1,000 that La Jolla Elementary School students raised through the sale of Valentine’s Day cards will help several Rwandan orphans attend school for an entire year. The card sales were part of the school’s volunteer Service Learning Program, in which 15 fourth- and fifthgraders meet monthly to discuss issues such as homelessness, caring for the elderly and protecting the environment. The students consider their options before choosing a charity for the entire school to get behind, usually on a monthly basis. Student leaders visit classrooms to explain the service project to their peers and help promote it. Parent volunteer Cynthia Kronemyer, who introduced the Service Learning Project three years ago, meets with students each month to educate them on fundraising options. “I find out what the kids know about various issues — animal abuse, the homeless, veterans — and then take them through some facts they might not really know, like 25 percent of the homeless population in San Diego are children,” Kronemyer said. Before students vote on a charity to adopt for the month, Kronemyer encourages them to consider where their money might have the greatest impact. For February, the students

chose the grassroots Rwandan Orphans Project, which was founded by local doctors Ronald Reinsch, Paul Oas and Sandra Bagley. Reinsch, a reproductive endocrinologist, founded the organization six years ago after taking part in a humanitarian mission in the capital city of Kigali, Rwanda. There, he saw large numbers of young boys living on the streets, alone and in poverty. Some children’s parents had died of AIDS; others had been kicked out of their homes when their mother remarried and her new husband chose not to care for them, Reinsch said. “They’re kind of like feral cats, kind of skittish and liv-

ing by their wits, surviving basically from day to day,” Reinsch said. The Rwandan Orphans Project helped turn an abandoned warehouse into a place where the orphans can get a hot meal, have a place to sleep and get an education. Reinsch said the donation from La Jolla Elementary students will pay for either two high school-age boys or three middle school-age boys to attend a full year of school. Other service projects at La Jolla Elementary have raised money or amassed food, blankets, eyeglasses and other items for organizations such as Storefront,

an emergency shelter for homeless youth. A Valentine’s card sale two years ago raised $550 for victims of the Haiti earthquake. Scripps Health CEO Chris Van Gorder and Chief Medical Officer Brent Eastman gave La Jolla Elementary students a PowerPoint presentation on the situation in Haiti after traveling there with the students’ donation. Several students were so moved that they started a lemonade and cookie drive that ran through the remainder of the year, raising another $500 for the cause. “That made it so real for them; they could actually see the devastation there,” principal Donna Tripi said.

“I fill up my tank three times a week, so that was $120 a week. Now I’m paying $150 a week, that’s $600 a month — to get to all the buildings I clean and going back and forth across the border. The biggest waste of gas is the daily idling for up to 2 1/2 hours in the lines to get across the border — and there are thousands of us doing that! I say we go back to horses.” Larry Oviedo Maintenance Supervisor

“I think you’re really going to have to watch what you’re driving. I just ended up getting a new Prius to conserve. My husband and I go back and forth: Who’s going to take the Prius to work? I also think people are really going to have to consider having their driving more planned out.” Candy Karas Muirlands

“If you need gas, you need gas. There’s not really much you can do. There are some things that we can show them, like the gas strikes, where people don’t buy gas for a day. I participate in those. But at the end of the day, if you need to go somewhere, you need gas to do it — unless we get into electric cars.” Kevin Phillips Solana Beach

What’s taking so long on coast improvements? Question: When will the scaffolding and fence eyesore around the existing lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool be removed? When will the new lifeguard tower and bathrooms be constructed so the horrible porta potties can be removed? Why create any space for the vendors or allow these nuisances to continue to obstruct public areas in the Coast Walk beautification plan? Chris Cott WindanSea Answer: On when the fence and temporary lifeguard tower are coming down, Jihad Sleiman, the city’s project manager for the Children’s Pool lifeguard replacement project said, “This summer or fall, worst-case.” Sleiman noted that the Children’s Pool’s condemned lifeguard tower (which is being replaced), and the Coast Walk Beautification, though related and overlapping to an extent, are nonetheless separate and distinct projects. “Beautification driven by the community is a private project,” he said. “My project is a public project. We’re (city and community) working very closely on these.” Sleiman said he has site and coastal development permits in hand to do the lifeguard tower replacement, but must wait to start construction until the seal pupping season ends May 15.

“We hope to start construction then, and it should take eight months to a year,” he said. “The ugly scaffolding and the (replacement) tower will come down before anything else is built this summer or fall.” Concerning vendor presence on Coast Walk, Patrick Ahern, chair of Parks & Beaches, Inc., which oversees coastal parks development, said, “It’s a First Amendment right and issue, vendors have a right to be there and express themselves.” Ahern added that in the new Coast Walk Beautification Plan, the walkways are too narrow to allow for tables, so tables have been provided off to the side, where they won’t be an obstruction to the main thoroughfare. — Dave Schwab Staff Reporter

Our Readers Write

Dr. Dulbecco will be missed I was saddened to learn of Nobel Laureate Renato Dulbecco’s recent demise. I felt that he was shortchanged in his length of days, because as a brilliant scientist, he had so much more to contribute to medical science in aid to humanity. Also, I would assume that due to his vast understanding of the causes and links with respect to cancers, he would personally benefit in terms of a greater longevity of his own life. This is so especially because he loved music, which must have Renato Dulbecco been health enhancing to a person who was involved in medical science research. And yet, my message to his descendents is that they should treasure the memories of such a great and brilliant individual who crossed all barriers after leaving his county, Italy, to be involved in such enormous strides of helping all those whom he touched personally. I had the opportunity to chat with him for just a few minutes when I had some work done on my eye glasses in a store that was on Girard Avenue in down town La Jolla, likely to have been a decade or so ago. Frieda L. Levinsky La Jolla Editor’s note: Renato Dulbecco (Feb. 22, 1914–Feb. 19, 2012) was an Italian-born American virologist who won the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on reverse transcriptase, which viruses use to translate their RNA into DNA inside the cells they infect.

Re: Peggy Davis letter to planning association La Jolla continues to grow and change, but some want to “shoot the messenger” of that change. Architects and designers are the messengers of change; they sculpt the designs that will grace La Jolla far into the future. The driving force behind this change is the unique geography and scenic beauty that make La Jolla one of the most desirable places to live on the West Coast. La Jolla, throughout its long history, has always been a community of constant

change, just as the waves are constantly changing the beaches and coast. Change will occur; the real question is how will that change be managed and under what guidelines? I have served the Community Planning Association (CPA) for many years, and my view of a narrow interpretation of the PDO (Planned District Ordinance) and municipal code have been consistent over those years. I have always advocated for good projects and fair assessment of property rights. Some seek to silence this diverse point of view. The Gatto home will be one of the “green-

est” and “smartest” homes in La Jolla. The home will have a “net zero” footprint in energy consumption through the use of a geothermal well and photovoltaic systems. The sensory system and advanced home energy management system will dynamically adjust as the microclimate changes at the site. Mrs. Davis continues to misstate the facts and misrepresent the true nature of the project. Consultants have certified that the Gatto project as built, fully conforms to the approved Coastal Development Permit (CDP) and this documentation has been accepted by

the city. The Gattos have worked closely with their neighbors to address any concerns during construction. They will shortly move into their new home and simply wish to continue to be an active part of the Shores Community. Mrs. Davis’ calls for my resignation, and her accusations against me and the reputation of my firm, are totally without merit or cause. I will continue to serve the community and advocate for property rights and the strict application of the PDO and municipal codes. Michael Morton La Jolla

OBITUARIES

John J. Wells Sr., MD 1919 – 2012

John J. Wells Sr., MD, 93, born on February 8, 1919, in Montpelier, Idaho, died peacefully on February 22, 2012, in San Diego, California, his hometown for over sixty years. John lived a full and long life of tremendous personal and professional accomplishments that started with his medical education at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and later the world renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Upon moving to San Diego in 1948 with his lovely wife, Marian, and their growing family, John began work as a Radiologist at the original Scripps Memorial Hospital Clinic on Prospect Street in La Jolla. It wasn’t too long before John co-founded his very own practice, La Jolla Radiology, in 1951. Some, but certainly not all, of his professional highlights included acting as Chief of Staff of Scripps Memorial Hospital in 1963, practicing Radiology in Palm Desert, CA, starting in 1990, and later becoming Head of Radiology at John F. Kennedy Hospital in Indian Wells, CA. John held various positions throughout his life which included serving on the Scripps Memorial Hospital Physicians Executive Committee for 18 years. He also was a Diplomat for the American College

of Radiology and CoFounder of San Diego County Radiology. He was also an Associate Clinical Professor of Radiology at The University of California, San Diego, when it was in Hillcrest. John was, of course, a member of the San Diego Medical Society and lifetime member of the La Jolla Rotary Club. He was also a 60 year active and retired member, (since 1951) of the San Diego Rest & Aspiration Club or as it was called by its’ 300 VIP members, The R & A Club. A list of John’s patients through the years reads like a “who’s who” of the last American century. Among them are J. Edgar Hoover, John Wayne, Robert Taylor, Gregory Peck, Jack Benny and President Ronald Reagan. John was a loving husband to Marian and father to his five children. He was an active member of Mary Star of the Sea Parish in La Jolla and a founding member of All Hallows Catholic Parish. John was also an avid golfer and spent many afternoons at the La Jolla Country Club, of which he was a member since 1950. He and his family also enjoyed spending time away at their home in Mammoth Lakes, where John could really embrace one of his life’s true passions, fishing. Later on, he and his family would also spend time in the comfort of their other home in Palm Desert, CA, where John could practice Radiology and Golf under never ending blue skies. “Grandpa Doc,” as he would become famously known and loved by his grandchildren, would always make himself available for whatever their needs were. John “Grandpa Doc” Wells was predeceased by his wife of seventy years, Marian (2008). He is survived by his five children, Cathy (George) Hronopoulos of La Jolla, John Wells Jr. of Beverly Hills, Justine

Millenbah of San Diego, Craig (Rosemary) Wells of 4S Ranch, and Mary “Gabby” (Paul) Janis of Clairemont (San Diego). In addition, Grandpa Doc is survived by 12 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. There will be a viewing on Thursday, March 1, 2012, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Aztlan Mortuary, 7856 La Mesa Blvd., La Mesa 91942. A service and celebration of his life will be on March 2,.2012, at 11:00 a.m. at All Hallows Catholic Church, 6602 La Jolla Scenic Drive South, La Jolla, 92037. A reception will follow at the parish hall.

Dottie Mae Haggerty 1924 – 2012

On Thursday, February 23, 2012, Dottie Mae Haggerty, beloved mother, wife, and grandmother, passed peacefully into Heaven to be with Our Lord. She had endured a brave battle with complications from rheumatoid arthritis and interstitial lung disease. Dottie was born Dorothy Mae Fallgren on August 13,1924, in Los Angeles, to her mother, the former Susan Gaines, and her

father, Clarence Theodore Fallgren. She was the twin sister of Clarence Theodore “Ted” Fallgren Jr. Her stepfather of 30 years, William Dever Johnson Jr., also held a special place in her heart. At the age of 10, Dottie won the title of “Little Miss Los Angeles.” She attended elementary school in Los Angeles and high school in San Diego. In her early years, Dottie worked as a bank teller. At the same time, she was also a popular fashion model and singer. Her stage name was “Dee Lorraine” and her favorite musical genre was jazz. Dottie met her husbandto-be, FBI Agent Patrick J. Haggerty Jr., in 1951. Their first date was at both the Marine Room in La Jolla and the El Cortez Sky Room in San Diego. They married the following year at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church in La Jolla. When Mr. Haggerty was assigned to San Francisco, the couple relocated and began their family, eventually having two sons and a daughter. They lived in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas until the 1980s, when they returned to live permanently in La Jolla. Dottie and Pat Haggerty quietly supported a variety of philanthropic causes. Throughout the decades, the center of Dottie’s life has been her family. She is survived by her husband and partner of 60 years, Patrick J. Haggerty Jr.; her elder son, Dr. Patrick J. “Rick” Haggerty III and his wife, Rosie Ribeiro Haggerty; her younger son, Dr. Colin M. Haggerty and his wife, Cathleen Roche Haggerty; and her daughter, Dr. Holly Haggerty Sokolowski and her husband, Dr. Bernd Sokolowski. She also is survived by her beloved grandchildren, Patrick Haggerty IV, Kelly Haggerty, Sophia Sokolowski, Colin

Haggerty Jr., Kyle Haggerty, Cameron Haggerty, and Mary Haggerty. To those who knew Dottie, she will be remembered for her joyful spirit and generous, loving nature. She had a song on her lips for every occasion, and her inner beauty even outshone her immeasurable outer beauty. The Haggerty Family would like to acknowledge the wonderful care shown to Dottie by the nurses and doctors of San Diego Hospice, as well as to Tanya Haupt for her loving assistance during Dottie‘s final days. A Mass of the Resurrection celebrating Dottie’s life on earth and the continuing journey of her soul in Heaven will take place on Monday, March 5, 2012, at 1:00 p.m. at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church in La Jolla, California. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Dottie to Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church, 7669 Girard Ave., La Jolla, CA 92037, 858-4542631, www.marystarlajolla. org or San Diego Hospice Foundation, 4311 Third Ave., San Diego, CA 92103, 619-278-6100, www. sdhospice.org.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

H. Moradi Fine and Estate Jewelers By Marti Gacioch At H. Moradi Fine and Estate Jewelers, all that glitters is not gold — platinum, diamonds and a rainbow of fine gems also sparkle in the exquisite collection. A longtime presence in the Village, the family-owned store is operated by Hossein Moradi, his wife, Pauline Beausoleil Moradi, his brother Hamid, and two other family members. Specializing in fine estate jewelry, Moradi buys and sells pre-owned fine jewelry, watches, diamonds and loose stones. Since 1999 Moradi has been at the 1237 Prospect St. location, but previously owned other businesses, including jewelry and gift shops. Two years ago, Moradi opened a second jewelry store across the street at 1230 Prospect St. While the selection at both stores is similar, every piece is unique and handpicked. “We don’t carry any new jewelry lines but buy from private individuals, other dealers, shows, auctions and estate sales,” said Pauline Beausoleil Moradi. “We have pre-owned designer pieces and watches and many custom and handmade pieces — we also do custom design and work with other jewelers.” According to Moradi, their typical customer has sophisticated taste and is seeking a unique piece not available anywhere else. Their stores have both loyal local customers and vacationers.

“One customer comes in every Christmas as a family tradition to buy something to commemorate their visit,” Moradi said. “The first year, they bought a beautiful Cartier watch; the second year they bought a sapphire ring; the next year matching sapphire earrings — now at year seven, they’re up to emeralds.” Moradi’s current stand-out pieces include a 5-carat, radiant-cut, fancy yellow diamond pendant in a custom-designed pave setting that hangs from a diamond Riviera necklace. “I also have a gorgeous 6.5-carat Columbian emerald that’s probably the most beautiful emerald I’ve ever seen,” Moradi said, “and we have an amazing collection of pins, including a silver and gold spider holding a pearl on a large piece of coral and an 18-karat gold beetle playing a mandolin.” But according to Moradi, even a small piece with a halfcarat diamond will be of top quality at their store. “Our prices are extremely competitive, considering the quality you’re getting,” Moradi said, “and an on-site appraiser is available so people can learn their jewelry’s value, and we also take things in trade and some consignments.” —H. Moradi Fine and Estate Jewelers, 1237 Prospect St., Suite A and 1230 Prospect St. (858) 246-7654.

Bishop’s School welcomes alumni director

Sarah Garro has joined The Bishop’s School as Director of Alumni Relations. For the past seven years, she was the Associate Director of Alumni Relations at the University of San Diego, where she served as the staff liaison for the Philanthropy Committee, and established collaborative partnerships with Student Sarah Garro Affairs, Annual Giving and Academic Affairs to enhance student and alumni involvement. Garro has a B.A. in sociology and an M.B.A. with an emphasis in international business from the University of San Diego. “I look forward to meeting more Bishop’s Alumni at Reunion Weekend, May 25-27,” she said.

airstylist Cheng Tan has signed a five-year lease at 7843 Girard Ave., Suite C, where she has opened KODA, a full-service salon for men and women. With warm woods throughout, KODA’s rich design includes bamboo flooring and zebrawood cabinets. Each stylist’s station has backlit mirrors that glow a periwinkle hue from the sides. In the center of the salon is a silver sculpture made from a mold of an Acacia tree. Tan said the name, KODA, is derived from the musical term coda, which means the conclusion of a piece. “It makes perfect sense because to me, this is the grand finale of my career. This is what I’ve been working for all these years. This is it!” Joining Tan at KODA are stylists Franco Chavarria and Jaylin Youm. The Salon is in the location of the former Travis Parker Salon, where Tan worked previously.

La Jolla Country Day, The Bishop’s School on course to play for CIF girls basketball title Both La Jolla Country Day and The Bishop’s School won their respective quarterfinals matchups last weekend to move forward in the Division IV CIFSDS basketball championships. The Torreys (26-1 overall), topped Christian with a 7817 victory thanks in large to part to Kelsey Plum’s 37 points. The Knights (18-8) defeated Escondido Charter on Saturday 80-15. If the two win their semifinal matchups, they would play each other for the CIF title on Saturday. That game is scheduled for 9 a.m. at the Jenny Craig Pavilion on the campus of USD. On the boys side, La Jolla Country Day also won its quarterfinal game, defeating Christian 65-53. Sage Burmeister led the Torreys (18-9) with 19 points in the win. LJCD played Army-Navy on Tuesday night for a shot at the CIF finals against the winner of Francis Parker and Santa Fe Christian. In other CIF news, The Bishop’s School’s girls soccer team is also on pace to play for a championship. The Knights, who are the No. 2 seed, beat Valley Center in the quarterfinals, 7-1. The Knights played Francis Parker in the seminfinals Wednesday and with a win, would play for the title Saturday at Serra High School at 11 a.m. After 25 years of instruction in North County

Bishop’s tops La Jolla, repeats as CIF champs By Rick LeBeau When it comes to San Diego County girls’ water polo, Division III is where it’s at. In Saturday night’s title match, Bishop’s and La Jolla weren’t just squaring off for their own division crown. The winner could assert that it was in fact the best team in the county, as both teams had recently beaten Division I winner, Carlsbad. You’d be hard-pressed to find two such competitive programs situated as close to each other as these long-time cross-town rivals. For years — 15 in a row, to be exact — Bishop’s has staked a place in the CIF Finals, almost always against Coronado. Starting in 2011, the Vikings have risen to displace the Islanders as chief rival to the Knights, and were poised to avenge last year’s loss in their first-ever CIF water polo final. At the outset, it appeared La Jolla may have some magic going their way, as Sarah Young fired a skip shot past a surprised Gab-

by Stone to open the scoring for the Vikings on their first possession. That goal would be all the offense La Jolla would muster in the opening period, as Stone and her defense clamped down, denying opportunities to La Jolla. Just after the 4-minute mark, Hannah Carrillo got the Knights on the board with a hard shot from outside, followed by a goal from Erin Pannek next time down the tank. The second quarter had as much offense as the first quarter had defense, as the Vikings’ other lefty, Scarlett Hallahan, put home a beautiful lob shot to tie the score early in the period. Shortly after, Ariel Arcidiacano put in another lob shot, as the Vikings re-took the lead. Natalie Chun answered for the Knights, but Arcidiacano fired a bullet into the back of the net to give La Jolla a 4-3 lead late in the quarter. As Bishop’s

LJYB to celebrate 60th Opening Day By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball In 1952, La Jolla Youth Baseball was a brand new league playing on the LJ Elementary School field. Team sponsors were venerable service organizations such as Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, Optimists and REBA. By 1956 they moved up the hill to the fields at Muirlands Jr. High and teams were producing high-performing players. A few years later the Cliffridge Athletic Area was dedicated and LJYB has been playing there ever since. Thousands of La Jolla kids grew up playing on and hanging out at these fields. It was the only game in town from February to June and this was La Jolla’s “outdoor classroom” to develop skills, learn about teamwork, handle adversity and win a few baseball games. It was kids being kids and it was all good. Fast forward 60 years, LJYB has a lot to celebrate and Opening Day is the time to do it. All LJYB players and families — past and present — are invited to attend the festivities starting at noon on Saturday at the Bronco Field. Every player from all 40 teams will be wearing their brand new Padres uniforms — 20 different styles going back to the 1948 PCL era — that were generously donated by the Padres as part of their noteworthy Youth Baseball Initiative. Padres President & COO Tom Garfinkel will be on hand to throw out the ceremonial First Pitch and he will be welcomed by LJYB President Jim Benham. In addition, the Padres will have the

Jerseys that will be worn by La Jolla Youth Baseball this season Swinging Friar and the Pad Squad on hand to get things started, so bring your camera and snap some photos with them. La Jolla High student Vaill D’Angelo will reprise her performance of the Star Spangled Banner from Opening Day last season (she also performed at Petco Park last year.) Following the traditional call to “Play Ball!” by Harrison and Jackson Garfinkel, all the kids will assemble in the outfield with the Padres representatives for a first-ever LJYB league photo. Rumor has it there may even be a fly-over! Saturday is also photo day for LJYB. There will be a BBQ going all day. Jersey Mike’s will have sandwiches available. The Game Truck will be on hand. Let the fun begin for another great season of baseball at LJYB. For more information, visit www.LJYB.org or “Like” us on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/LJYB.org.

From Water Polo, A18 often does, they created an opportunity with an ejection in the final minute before half. Using their man-up advantage, Sheila Gerrity buried a shot to tie the score again. Carrillo then got loose with just 18 seconds remaining in the half to give the Knights a lead going into the locker room. Coach Doug Peabody must have given his team just the right antidote at halftime, as the Knights set a defensive tone that would last until the waning moments of the game, shutting out the Vikings for the entire third quarter, while gradually extending the lead. Carrillo resumed the scoring duties, putting in her third goal of the contest, with an assist from Pannek on the play. Jill Bushman then scored on another man-up situation for the Knights, and then Jesse Webster scored her only goal of the evening with 2:18 to go in the quarter, giving Bishop’s an insurmountable 8-4 lead entering the final stanza. Both goalies continued

to make great plays in the fourth quarter, keeping the margin at four goals until the last 90 seconds, when Carrillo scored the last of her game-high four goals. La Jolla continued to press on offense, though, and got two late goals from Hallahan and Young, respectively, to close the gap to the final margin of 9-6. Stanford-bound senior goalie Gabby Stone snared 15 saves for the Knights, as did her counterpart Lauren Silver for the Vikings. Hannah Carrillo led all scorers with her four goals for the victorious Knights. Sophomore lefties Sarah Young and Scarlett Hallahan had two goals for the Vikings, as did Ariel Arcidiacano in her final game before heading to Colorado State to play water polo in Ft. Collins. For the Knights, Erin Pannek had a goal and three assists in her last game. Erin will be putting her skills to use for Indiana next season. Both programs have strong contingents of sophomores, so you may want to mark your calendar for a rematch in the finals in 2013.

10 QUESTIONS

Dr. Harold Simon reviews his legacy in medicine at UCSD Harold J. Simon, M.D., Ph.D., a founding member of the UCSD School of Medicine faculty and a leader in the field of international health and health policy, recently retired after more than four decades of service. He was one of the first academics to understand the importance of global health training in medicine, and today more than 50 medical schools across North America offer education in global health. Harold J. Simon A long-time La Jolla resident, Dr. Simon was one of the first faculty members recruited to the UCSD School of Medicine. Arriving in 1966, he established the Office of Student Affairs and set the policies for recruiting and admitting students. Simon was among those who designed the school’s curriculum and established many of its programs. The Harold Simon Chair in Global Public Health was established in 2001 in recognition of his contributions to global health, from his role in the design of health care systems serving developing countries, to his leadership in initiating cultural awareness training as part of the medical student experience. Dr. Simon specialized in infectious diseases and prevention of hospital infections. He has lectured throughout the world, and has traveled extensively as a public health adviser to many developing countries. What brought you to La Jolla? It was the founders’ vision for UC Diego, the nascent medical school and the stellar faculty to be recruited. For myself, the opportunity to begin at the beginning; the chance to do international medicine and the almost unlimited opportunity to start and establish the office of student affairs, student recruitment and admissions, curriculum planning and evaluation, and financial aid. La Jolla was, and is, a wonderful place to raise, educate, and sustain the family. La Jolla was, and is, a wonderful place to raise, educate, and sustain the family.

Royal wedding florist will address Village Garden Club By Linda Hutchison Although British floral designer Shane Connolly believes flowers have a language of their own and should speak for themselves, he will help them along Thursday, March 8, when he speaks at The Village Garden Club of La Jolla’s fifth annual Meet the Masters event. Author of “Language of Flowers,” “The Secret Language of Flowers,” and many other books on floral design, Connolly will share his artistry and passion for flowers with other garden enthusiasts. After visiting local gardens, he will create and demonstrate eight designs using living

flowers and plants unique to the area. The program starts at 1:30 p.m. in the Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St. Tickets are $55 for club members and $65 for non-members. Connolly’s floral designs have gained him a loyal following around the world — from Europe to South Africa. In recent years, he’s become well known for his royal customers as well. Based in London, Connolly is the official supplier of flowers for royal events.

TRUE OR FALSE? Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious bacterial illness spread by coughs and sneezes. True. People sick with pertussis have severe coughing attacks that can last for months. Vaccination is the best defense against whooping cough. However, the immunity from vaccines wears off over time and pertussis booster vaccine rates in adolescents and adults continue to be low. As a result, pertussis continues to circulate widely in California, resulting in the hospitalization and death of young infants who are too young to get their shots. In response to the high levels of disease and death from pertussis in California during 2010, the public health department is recommending that all Californians make sure that they are immunized against pertussis, especially if they are in contact with infants. — cdph.ca.gov

His designs have graced the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla ParkerBowles in 2005, Queen Elizabeth II’s 80th birthday celebration in 2006, the 10year memorial of Princess Diana’s death in 2007, and the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton (TRH Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) last April. For the wedding that was seen around the world last spring, Connolly transformed Westminster Abbey into an English garden. He graced the entrance walkway with eight 20-feet maple and hornbeam trees in planters and the altar inside with greenery and flowers from royal estates. He created an all-white bridal bouquet using British flowers such as hyacinth, lily of the valley, Sweet William and myrtle (originally planted by Queen Victoria and traditionally used in royal wedding bouquets). Despite Connolly’s connection to royalty and tradition, his approach to floral design is uniquely modest, modern and

ahead of his time and takes floral design to a new place.” A psychology major in college before he studied floral design, Connolly is sensitive to what his clients want and combines this understanding with a natural, understated philosophy of design. “He understands the essence of a person and an event and lets the flowers speak for themselves,” added Kaufman. “He is a good spokesperson for floral art in our time, with a fresh approach to flowers.” A tea at the La Jolla Women’s Club will follow the event. It is being co-chaired by Kaufman and Ann Craig, both past presidents of the garden club. The event also honors founding member Adrienne Green and benefits the club’s community outreach programs, including The Schoolyard Gardening Grant Program, the Penny Pines Project, the Native Plant Restoration Project at Torrey Pines State Reserve, and the Jacaranda Tree Project.

Diners find a tasty refuge inside Paradise Grille By Kelley Carlson t Paradise Bar & Grille, patrons can kick back in the low-key bar/lounge or on the comfortable outdoor patio, consume a drink from the award-winning wine list, and nosh on food made from fresh ingredients in a resort-like atmosphere. “I feel that Paradise Grille is a little hidden nugget inside Flower Hill,” said Shana Adair, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Conor. “It’s a favorite with locals; it’s a very relaxed environment to enjoy good food and get wine and cocktails with friends.” Guests often congregate on the outdoor patio during a typically pleasant SoCal day, receiving natural warmth from the sun’s rays or a temperature boost from heat lamps when it’s cooler. Green umbrellas provide plenty of shade, and a fire pit in the center of a glass table that can host up to a dozen patrons sparks interest. Water trickles soothingly over rocks in a corner fountain, and foliage accents the patio’s perimeter. Patrons lounge on couches or perch on stools at the bar to take advantage of the popular, daily happy hour. The dark wood-paneled indoor bar/ lounge provides additional stools for happyhour seating, along with booths for dining. Mirrors reflect soft lights; overhead fans with blades shaped like leaves provide the slightest hint of a breeze. Some guests may find entertainment on the bar’s two flatscreen TVs, usually defaulted to a sports channel; others may tune in to the restaurant’s mellow pop music programming. Several candles frame a picture of a gigantic, crashing ocean wave. One of Paradise Grille’s unique features is its wall of scotch, containing more than 50 single malts. Flight tastings are available, in which three glasses are placed on a wood

■ This Week: Paradise Salad board with a side of water and ice. The restaurant is also noted for its wine list, featuring 90 labels from all around the world. According to Adair, Paradise Grille has received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since it opened in 2006. Adair’s husband personally chooses the labels, from locales such as Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Chile, France, Italy and California. The Adairs also help plan the culinary selections for the customers. “If it’s not good, I don’t let it on the menu,” Shana Adair said. Focaccia, desserts, dressings and sauces are made from scratch, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The soups reflect item availability; among those currently on the menu are Roasted Tomato Basil and Dungeness Crab Bisque. One of the starters to note is the Firecracker Shrimp, with spicy Kung-pao sauce, peanuts, cilantro and a Daikon carrot salad. The establishment is well-known for its burgers, made from 100-percent Angus that was grass-fed. An 8-ounce burger — larger than the typical 6-ounce servings at some

restaurants — comes with a choice of fries: Parmesan cheese or sweet potato. Another favorite is the Chef’s Choice Market Fish of the Day, which constantly changes. Offerings have included Fresh Grilled Halibut and Pan-Seared Diver Scallops. Vegetarians may delight in the Paradise Salad, a combination of mixed greens, mango, hearts of palm, candied chopped macadamia nuts, cucumber and a light passion-fruit vinaigrette. Themed evenings in which specials are offered are Street Taco Tuesdays, and Prime Rib Night on Sundays. Wrap up a meal with a slice of Raspberry Key Lime Pie, topped with whipped cream and fresh mint, or the Molten Chocolate Lava Cake, served with vanilla ice cream and raspberry coulis. Being parents themselves, the Adairs welcome children at the eatery and offer a menu that includes hand-breaded chicken tenders, baby carrots, kid-sized pepperoni pizza, cheeseburger and pasta. Crossword puzzles and word searches can keep the kids busy while they wait for the food.

Coins for cash: where and how to sell rare coins from your collection

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

ost Jewish holidays are based on the tenet — the enemy tried to kill us, we survived, now, let’s eat! This is especially true of Purim, a joyous celebration of salvation, the Jewish version of Mardi Gras, complete with carnivals of masquerading, noisemaking, and a gustatory orgy, but without the retrospective dietary sacrifice. If the original story of Purim were translated into a screenplay, it would be a Hollywood blockbuster. Set in the Persian Empire 2,500 years ago, the ancient plot is a mix of an X-rated soap opera, a murder conspiracy and the reality show “Survivor.” The Purim festival honors triumph over evil Haman, the king’s prime minister, who plotted to slaughter the Persian Jews. Queen Esther, an incogni-

to Jew, used her wiles to convince her hubby King Ahasuerus to save her people. See, a man listened to his wife, and the Jews of Persia were spared. Haman, on the other hand, got his just dues on a public scaffold. Purim translates to “lots,” short for the lottery that Haman used to select the date of the Jewish massacre. He picked the 13th day of Adar (which usually falls in March). This year, Purim is right on target on sunset of March 7. Kids love the customs and traditions of Purim like a noisy Halloween party, the only time ever in synagogue or temple when they are not only allowed, but encouraged, to create a heavy-metal-bandbust-your-eardrums-out racket — orally and with a hand-held “gregor” whenever Haman’s name is

mentioned. This ruckus is accompanied by dressing up as ancient supermodel Queen Esther, Haman or the king. Also, this is the rare occasion when the Bible commands the Jews to get drunk in celebration of their survival. Traditional Purim fare includes braided egg bread or “challah,” symbolic of Haman’s noose rope; braided cookies for Queen Esther’s bracelets; and the popular Hamantaschen, a divine treat replicating Haman’s three-cornered hat. These typically have yummy fillings in the center of either a poppy seed paste, an apricot or other dried fruit puree or the kids’ fave — chocolate.

Hamantaschen with Apricot Filling

The spirit of Purim, sharing these goodies with family and friends as a show of gratitude, is a long-time custom, so bake a bunch. ■ For the dough: 3 cups unbleached flour 1⁄2 cup almond or hazelnut meal 1⁄2 cup white cane sugar 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 1 and 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder Zest from 1⁄2 lemon Zest from 1⁄2 orange 1⁄2 pound unsalted butter 1 egg 1 egg white beaten 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ■ Method: Preheat oven to 350º degrees. In a food processor or bowl of an electric mixer, combine the flour, nut meal, baking powder, salt, sugar and zests. Blend in the butter until a crumbly mixture forms. In a small bowl beat the egg, 1 tablespoon of water and lemon juice, blending well. Add to the flour mixture until a dough forms.Place the dough onto a floured board and form into a ball. Divide in half. Roll out 1⁄4-inch thick. Make 3 1⁄2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter or top of a juice glass. Place a dollop of filling in the center of the round, and pinch the edges to the middle to form a triangle.

Place the hamantaschen on a lightly greased parchment-lined baking sheet, and brush with beaten egg white. Bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

www.lajollalight.com From 10 Questions, B1 What makes this area special to you? UC San Diego’s founders’ determination to recruit and support a stellar faculty; the close interactions and collaborations between the general campus and the medical school; the siren song sung by my recruiters; the physical setting; the opportunities inherent in close associations with the Salk Institute, the VA, the biotechnical industry growing by leaps and bounds; and the proximity to Mexico for cross-cultural study and collaboration. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Better access to parking; light rail between the campus, the city center and the East County; a sea water to potable water conversion facility; and formidable efforts toward solar power. Who or what inspires you? See Question 5 below, also the students and my coworkers along with the missions, history, growth, development, governance, structure and functions of the University of California. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would ask Francis Crick, Goethe, Spinoza, Winston Churchill, James Fenimore Cooper, Abraham Lincoln, Sir William Osler and Thomas Mann. What are you reading? Medical and scientific journals (American Journal of Medicine; the Journal of Infectious Disease; Clinical Infectious Diseases; Science) and global news and commentary as presented in The Economist and Der Spiegel. What is your most-prized possession? Not any object … instead, recollections about my mentors, collaborators, students, travel and other aspects of my long career — especially my three years at Rockefeller University, my 17 years as a member of the Board of Governors of the Technion in Israel, and of St. George’s Medical School on Grenada in the Caribbean. What is your distinguishing characteristic? My insatiable appetite for new knowledge. Describe your greatest accomplishment. The establishment, development and functioning of UCSD School of Medicine’s Office of Student Affairs and its diverse functions. These include recruitment and admissions policies and practices that sometimes deviated from generally accepted ones. There were also some firsts in my infectious disease career at Stanford and in my pedagogic activities at UC San Diego. What is your philosophy of life? I believe in working with and furthering the development of young people toward defining and achieving their career objectives, combating discrimination on whatever grounds, and striving for excellence in every dimension.

Disco diva Thelma Houston will sing at Malashock Dance gala Dinner will be followed by a special performance by one of disco’s all time favorite divas, Grammy Award-winning recording artist Thelma Houston at the fifth annual fundraiser, Malashock Thinks You Can Dance! — A Night at Studio 54, 6:30 p.m., Saturday, March 10 at Anthology. Proceeds will benefit the artistic, education and outreach programs of the San Diego-based contemporary dance company. Houston is best known for her hits, “Don’t Leave Me This Way,” (Best Female R&B Vocal Performance 1977), “If You Feel It,” “Saturday Night, Sunday Morning,” and many others. Initially inspired by TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing With the Stars,” this year’s Malashock event takes inspiration from Manhattan’s legendary nightclub, Studio 54, with all its glitz, glamour, and celebrity guests ranging from Mick and Bianca Jagger to Liza Minnelli, Halston and Grace Jones. Studio 54’s infamous “velvet rope,” from which the

doorman turned away disgruntled luminaries such as Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton, Cher and Woody Allen, while allowing “beautiful nobodies” to mingle with the glamorous celebrities inside, will be in operation. However, Malashock guarantees that no one will be turned away. The evening begins with a cocktail reception and the opportunity to bid on luxury silent-auction packages with trips to exotic locales, along with dozens of other items. A three-course dinner will be served at 7:30 p.m., with entertainment provided by powerful company dancers performing Malashock’s signature emotionally charged choreography. The evening wraps up with dancing to master Southern California DJ Boris Granich’s special playlist of hits from the 1970s and ’80s. Tickets are $125, $250 or $500 per person at malashockdance.org or (619) 260-1622. Anthology is at 1337 India St. in Little Italy, San Diego.

FASTER GAIT, BETTER ODDS Want to know how long you or your aging parents might live? A recent JAMA article discusses walking or gait speed as a simple indicator of well-being and longevity among older people. Researchers from the Univ. of Pittsburgh analyzed 9 studies involving more than 34,000 seniors and found that faster gait speed was associated with living longer. They also found that predicting survival based on walking efficiency was as accurate as predictions based on age, sex, chronic conditions, smoking history, blood pressure, BMI, and hospitalization. Slowing down is associated with getting older. By age 80, gait speed is approximately 10% to 20% slower than in young adults. Walking is a reliable tool for measuring well-being because it requires complex integration of numerous body systems. It places simultaneous demands on the brain, spinal cord, muscles, joints, heart and lungs. At Ability Rehab we specialize in helping individuals improve their gait speed and walking safety. Our professional therapists evaluate for deficits in strength, coordination, balance, etc… and design a personalized treatment plan to address the underlying causes of the slow down. P.S.

FROM BRIDGE, B1 replaced by grass and the grounds adorned with flowers, plants and other decorative landscaping. Today, the club hosts bridge games Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from noon to 3:30 p.m. Membership is just $25 per year, and games are $2 a day of play for members and $3 for non-members. Coffee is provided and players bring a sandwich or lunch. “It’s like a second home for senior citizens,” said incoming bridge club board president, Herb Marcus. “The only difficult part is the parking,” he added, noting that most players either walk to the club or get dropped off. Former board member Carmel Repp-Pearl said the ocean view is the big draw for visitors. Members have witnessed amazing sunsets, whales spouting off the coast and waves crashing during storms. The club holds three or four parties per year, which inevitably spill out onto the lawn. “It’s a nice facility,” ReppPearl said. “Most of the members are senior citizens,

La Jolla Bridge Club is located at Ellen Browning Scripps Park on Coast Boulevard, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Bridge games are held Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from noon to 3:30 p.m. Membership is $25 per year, and $2 for a day of play for members and $3 for nonmembers. PHOTOS BY PAT SHERMAN but we have some young players and they’re quite good. We have people who come from Arizona that play for the summer or from the Midwest.” Marcus’s wife, Elaine, who serves as membership chair, said people have stopped in from as far away as Europe and Asia. “They all say how lucky we are to have a place like this to play bridge,” she said. Farr said Bridge is challenging and keeps seniors mentally alert.

“As you get older it’s important to not only challenge the body, but the brain as well,” he said, noting some of the enduring friendships that have been forged at the club. The building also is used for yoga and aerobics classes, as well as recovery meetings at a rate of $25 per hour. Lifeguards meet there periodically. However, the lion’s share of the money used to pay for operations and expenses comes from renting the

facility out for weddings and private parties. The rate is $1,800 to $2,500 all day Saturday (depending on the time of year) and about half that amount Sunday evenings after 4 p.m. Adjacent to the main hall where Bingo is played is a smaller room with a hardwood floor that can be used for dancing. “It has a couple of bathrooms and a full kitchen so catering can be done onsite,” Repp-Pearl said. “It’s a full-on community facility.”

Each year the club donates to various charities from the money it raises. “Last year we gave about $2,000 to different charities,” Marcus said. When somebody passes away in the club, the membership will give the family a condolence basket and make a donation to the deceased’s favorite charity. Though the city owns the building, the club is in charge of maintenance and upkeep, including landscaping, painting, and flooring. The club also pays

the telephone bill and building insurance. “That’s the deal,” Marcus said. “We always need something new.” In 2006, a volunteer group hired a landscape architect to draw up plans to improve the park, with the goal of creating a master plan. One of his ideas was to relocate the bridge club closer to Coast Walk, an idea that was rejected by a large and vocal segment of the community. “Any reasonable person would not have considered that to be an option,” Farr said. Though the club remains, membership has dwindled somewhat, from about 140 to between 100 and 120 members — something Herb Marcus said he would like to change during his tenure as board president. “It’s a safe haven for senior citizens (to gather), instead of sitting home and vegetating and feeling sorry for themselves,” his wife Elaine said. “It’s a meld of different professional people and non-professional people who have so much in common to look forward to each week.”

His works have been seen around the world and his approach was described in a 2010 Los Angeles Times review as a “delirious engagement with painterly hedonism.

A Tuscan romance unfolds in ‘A Room With a View’ premiering at The Globe By Diana Saenger The musical, “A Room with a View,” will have its world premiere at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park on March 2. Based on the novel by E.M. Forster, with book by Marc Acito, music and lyrics by Jeffrey Stock, and additional lyrics by Acito, the show gets offthe-chart excitement from its actors. Kyle Harris (“Sondheim on Sondheim,” “West Side Story”) plays the lead role of George Emerson, a free thinker who becomes attracted to Lucy Honeychurch (Ephie Aardema) in Italy’s beautiful Tuscan countryside. Lucy, a new transplant, hails from England and a far more sheltered upbringing than George. The storyline is an immortal classic. “George has passion, something Lucy sees in him and has been wanting,” Harris explained. “She has a small flame inside of her that wants to ignite and burn a little brighter, but she’s resistant, not knowing if George is the one, as he

Harris said he was overjoyed with the approach director Scott Schwartz took in rehearsals.

PHOTOS BY Henry DiRocco “Scott gives you the canvas and lets you throw paint at it, and then he mixes in his colors and you create a beautiful picture together,” Harris said. “He compromises with the actors and that builds the team of trust so many actors dream of having. Scott wants the individual actor to be a part of these characters and unique and

as organic as possible, and that’s such a great place for a piece to start from the ground up.” Harris said he’s also enamored with Acito and Stock’s work. “Marc has done a great job with the storyline, and the musical score by him and Stock has been breathtaking from our first workshop in New York City. It’s felt like a classic

from the very beginning.” Harris added that the setting in romantic Italy, and the piazza, will transport audiences, “and the score is so gorgeous it really speaks to the heart of these characters, which creates even more passion.” Harris said Stock shaped the songs to the actors by listening to their voices in the workshop and tailoring

the songs to best fit the right key for each actor so no one is reaching for something out of their comfort zone. “Instead of them fitting the shoe, they are the shoe,” Harris said. “A Room with a View’ is a very lyrical, very underscored masterpiece. It’s funny, heartwarming, and a great show for the entire family.”

Concierges guide La Jolla visitors toward a perfect stay By Pat Sherman For today’s tech-savvy traveler, a wealth of information about his or her travel destination is just an iPhone app or web search away. Yet, concierge desks at La Jolla hotels aren’t exactly collecting dust, with many guest-planning professionals busier than ever. “People still rely on concierges a lot,” said Ben Redfield, a front desk supervisor at the Empress Hotel, who’s tasked with everything from helping guests make dinner reservations to planning whale watching excursions. “Even though the Internet has Travelocity and Yelp, guests still want (recommendations) right from the horse’s mouth,” Redfield said. “They will go online and get the information, but they’ll ask for your opinion anyway.” Gaby Delgado, a

Local concierges book a lot of Segway tours for visitors. PAT SHERMAN photos “human touch” in their decision-making, versus blindly relying on the Internet, she said. “People still ask for the names of restaurants, but then they’ll go back to their room and survey (the

choices) on their iPad to see what the world is saying,” Delgado said. Lynelle Mar, a front office supervisor at the Grande Colonial Hotel, said it helps when guests have researched the area and

their options before coming to her for assistance — especially if they can’t get a reservation at the restaurant they desired. “We’re able to take what

From concierges, B14 they wanted and make some suggestions they didn’t even think of when they were reading the reviews,” she said. With so much information at guests’ fingertips, concierges must be on top of their game, having a vast knowledge of the hospitality options in their vicinity. Concierges say guests are asking for information about an increasingly wide array of areas and attractions, which helps them sharpen research skills and increase their knowledge. “It’s kind of given us more of a challenge, but it’s a fun challenge,” Mar said. “You learn a lot in this job.” Concierges fill guests’ itineraries with everything from an afternoon kayaking the La Jolla Caves to Segway tours, golf and hang gliding at the Torrey Pines glider port. Kali McDonald, a concierge at La Valencia Hotel, arranged for a recent guest to go skydiving. “He went three days in a row he loved it so much,” McDonald said. One of McDonald’s more challenging assignments was to assist a family from Saudi Arabia who were bent on going apple picking, though the fruit wasn’t in season. “One of their friends had told them they had gone to an orchard and it was so much fun,” McDonald said. “They wanted to go so bad. … I ended up printing out (information about) all the orchards in California, highlighting the ones in Julian.” “I didn’t hear whether they made it there,” she said. “They

definitely tried.” When it comes to creating lasting memories, online assistance only goes so far. Delgado helped a man recreate a scene from a photograph of his wedding taken 32 years ago, to surprise his wife as they renewed their vows. Delgado was able to find professionals to match the color scheme, flowers, cake and other and aesthetic elements of the photo on the La Estancia grounds. She also arranged for a pastor to officiate. Another guest came to Delgado distraught on the morning of her daughter’s wedding. “She called it a ‘family tragedy,’ ” Delgado said. “I thought something really intense had happened, like a death in the family.” It turned out the woman had chipped a tooth and was convinced she was going to ruin her

daughter’s wedding pictures. “I was able to find an emergency dentist to put a cap on her tooth and (she made it) back in time for pictures,” said Delgado, who worked her way through college as a concierge. “You really don’t know what the day will hold.” Lisa Marie Wyman has been a concierge for 25 years, the last eight spent working at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, which employs three full-time and two part-time concierges. Wyman recalled helping avert a similar guest tragedy at another property. A representative for a line of shoes was showing his product to a buyer from Nordstrom and his model canceled at the last minute — at an hour when the modeling agencies were all closed. “I had to go and find someone who looked nice who wore a size 6,” she said. “Never mind that they

canceled the meeting.” More recently, Wyman helped a guest honor his wife on Mother’s Day, filling their room with 10 dozen roses, six mixed floral arrangements, 200 latex balloons, 10 Mylar balloons, and several orchids. “He wanted to give her an award, so I had a glass trophy made and engraved with a special message,” she said. Wyman said she feels “blessed” to have found her career niche. “I love showing off the city of San Diego that I grew up in and love,” she said. “I love the relationships I develop between my guests and seeing the smiles on their faces.” Hotel Parisi guest services attendant Carole Somers, who acts as a concierge for the boutique hotel, has done everything from arranging in-room spa services and helicopter tours to car rentals and late-night bagel delivery service for a high-profile rock musician. “Whatever they ask I usually can research and find a resource, so there’s never been a situation where I couldn’t fill a request,” said Somers, a former United Airlines flight attendant. GPS devices notwithstanding, some guests just want a friendly face to give them directions — be it to Mt. Soledad or the Children’s Pool. “I get a kick out of telling them what the controversy is with the seals,” said Nick Yeager, part bell captain, part concierge at the Empress Hotel. “Sometimes they don’t understand it at all. Sometimes they’ll pick a side.”

Birch to offer Grunion Run experience The Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography will lead guided grunion run expeditions from April to early June. During the spring season, the mysterious sardine-sized grunion fish spawn on the beaches of La Jolla. On certain spring nights following high tides, hundreds of the small, silvery fish ride the waves onto shore for this mating ritual, which only happens in Southern California and Baja Mexico. While on the beach, female grunion bury themselves half-way in the sand to lay eggs, while males wrap themselves protectively around the females to fertilize their eggs. Both catch a wave to return to sea. Naturalists from the Birch Aquarium at Scripps will lead the moonlight exploration, starting with a presentation on grunion. Bring a flashlight and warm jacket. $12 per person, ages 6 and above. Ages 6-13 must attend with a paid adult. n Sunday, April 8: 10:45 p.m.-12:45 a.m. n Monday, April 23: 10:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. Reservations are required.

Hats Off to Life

Artists honor elders with memento chapeaux If you go ■ What: Hats Off to Life Exhibition ■ When: Free admission 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to May 18 ■ Where: Hera Hub, 9710 Scranton Road, Suite 160, Sorrento Valley ■ Contact: Felena Hanson (619) 889-7852 info@herahub.com By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Last December, eight local artists met one-on-one with nine residents of Fairwinds Ivey Ranch Retirement Community in Oceanside, asking them to talk about their lives. Each artist went on to create some form of fanciful headgear inspired by what she heard, and in January, Fairwinds presented a fashion show and reception, with the seniors modeling their one-of-a-kind chapeaux. The event was called “Hats Off to Life.” On Feb. 23, a photographic exhibit of Hats Off to Life opened at Hera Hub, “a work, meeting and event space for enterprising women” in Sorrento Valley. The large-scale photos are not

The original idea was an offshoot of Art Meets Fashion, an impressive collaboration of artists and designers who showed off their work last spring on catwalks at the airport and Liberty Station. AMF was co-produced by Patricia Frischer, founder of San Diego Visual

At the opening of the Hats Off to Life exhibit, Gloria Winship poses in front of her photograph by Melissa Au with artist Patricia Frischer, who designed and made her hat.

Arts Network (the main sponsor of Hats Off to Life) and Felena Hanson, founder of Hera Hub. “After Art Meets Fashion, we wanted to do something different, but still related to art and fashion,” Frischer said. “Someone suggested a project with the elderly, and someone else suggested hats. The hat woman went on to something else, but we still liked the idea. And then another of our collaborators, Denise Bonaimo Sar-

ram, got a job as Program Supervisor at Fairwinds, and found us our models. I love it when everything comes together like that!” Frischer loved the idea so much, she designed two hats for Hats Off to Life. And Hanson, whose main focus is building community, was happy to offer a perfect space for the photography exhibit. “Hats Off to Life is celebrating the lives of people who don’t often get cele-

brated by connecting them with talented artists,” she said. “And we do quarterly rotating exhibits by women artists at Hera Hub, so it’s a great fit all around.” Hera Hub, which launched last August, already has 120 members who use it as a co-working space. “It actually grew out of my own needs,” Hanson said. “I was working at home as a marketing consultant and found it so isolating. I wanted access to a place I could

meet with clients and network with other women in business but I didn’t really need a fulltime space. So I came up with Hera Hub. The look is professional, and at the same time, feminine. I call it ‘spa-inspired.’” The large-scale photos of Hats Off to Life will be adorning Hera Hub’s walls through May 18. All photographs are for sale, and the photographers and artists may be contacted for special commissions.

Math scholars join forces to win Stanford match

team of advanced high school math students traveled to Menlo Park for the annual Stanford Math Tournament, an international competition of 500 teen scholars held at Stanford University on Feb. 18. Following individual subject test competitions, the students participated in both the Team Test and the Power Round competitions. Beating out teams from China, the East Coast, and all over Northern California, the joint Torrey Pines High School-Canyon Crest Academy-La Jolla High School team placed first in overall competition with a score of 1,500. Second place in the overall category went to the Bergen County Academies team, a magnet school in the New Jersey-New York metro area, with 1,441 points, while the third place score of 1,385 points went to Lynbrook High School, a Santa Clara high school with an API of 938.

La Jolla Playhouse adds war drama to 2012 season The La Jolla Playhouse announced an additional show for its 2012-2013 season: “Blood and Gifts,” by J.T. Rogers, directed by Lucie Tiberghien, running June 12July 8, in the Mandell Weiss Forum. “Blood and Gifts” tells the story of the secret spy war behind the official Soviet-Afghan War of the 1980s. Spanning a decade and playing out in Washington D.C., Pakistan and Afghanistan, the play offers a slice of historical fiction laced with dark humor, as it follows the character of CIA operative Jim Warnock and his struggles to stop the Soviet Army’s destruction of Afghanistan.

Garcia attended San Diego State University to supplement the knowledge provided to her by her upbringing. She immediately garnered Prudential’s “Rookie of the Year” honors after earning a degree in Communications with an emphasis in Advertising and a minor in Marketing. “I love working in real estate,” says Garcia, who is fluent in Spanish. “The opportunity to help my clients achieve their goals has made my career very fulfilling.”
