Holiday Heroes BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS Gladys Kohn’s philanthropic contributions have evolved over the years, but her efforts, which range from advocating for women’s health to restoring the La Jolla Historical Society’s Wisteria Cottage, all stem from her insistence that “the jewel” is worth preserving. Kohn and her husband moved to La Jolla in 1986 when her husband’s job at Foodmaker, Inc. brought them to the beautiful coastal gem.

Community leader Joe LaCava and WalkSanDiego chairman Dave Schumacher led a neighborhood walk through Bird Rock on Dec. 17 as part of the organization’s ongoing series of historic walks throughout the city. Highlighting the area’s rich history — from the successful transformation of Bird Rock’s commercial district on La Jolla Boulevard to little-known facts about “Electric Avenue,” a single-track electric trolley line that ran parallel to the boulevard on La Jolla Hermosa Avenue — the tour provided guests with the ins and outs of recent and not-so-recent
Roundabout rundown Many Bird Rock residents probably remember when La Jolla Boulevard was not a charming, pedestrian-friendly commercial strip lined with thriving restaurants, cafes and businesses as it is today. Instead, it was a major five-lane thoroughfare that connected 20,000 commuters from south of Bird Rock to La Jolla Village, making it nearly impossible to cross safely, much less parallel park a vehicle to enjoy eateries, services or shopping in the area.

Keeping a lookout for crime SDPD buys, tests a ‘must-have’ surveillance tool for officers BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS The San Diego Police Department has enlisted the help of a new device intended to increase visibility and response time in busy, crowded areas — including the tourist-filled beach communities — to make policing more efficient. The cutting-edge contraption — officially called a Mobile Utility Surveillance Tower, (MUST) — is a fourwheel-drive van with an observation tower that rises 25 feet above the van’s roof, providing the officer in command with an bird’s-eye perch and a 360-
degree line of vision. The observation capsule atop the tower can be fully deployed in two minutes, can withstand winds of up to 40 mph and can accommodate recordable digital or thermal-imaging camera systems, communication and radio equipment, and a computing workstation. The capsule can even accommodate two people, said police officials. The $200,000 regional-purpose vehicle is built by Dallas-based TerraHawk LLC. “The MUST can be used in a variety of situations where mobility is key, as
this is a self-propelled mobile observation platform to perform commandand-control functions at events,” said San Diego police Lt. Andra Brown. She said MUST could be used to observe and take control of situations at the beach on a crowded holiday weekend, in the Qualcomm parking lot during football season, local malls for shopper security during the holidays, downtown parades and galas, or assisting in the backcountry during wildfires.

Suspect in Jack’s LJ embezzlement faces fresh charges BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS A Point Loma woman already facing charges of defrauding a former La Jolla restaurant has now been charged with defrauding her former mother-in-law out of more than $1 million. Tara Virginia Moore, 39, appeared in San Diego Superior Court on Dec. 16 on both cases, which have been filed separately. She has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to all counts. Moore faces a Jan. 12 preliminary hearing for the embezzlement counts involving Jack’s La Jolla, a fine dining restaurant that closed in July 2009.
She is charged with three counts of grand theft, two counts of fraudulent appropriation by an employee and obtaining property by false pretenses. An April 17 preliminary hearing was set for the latest case involving the mother of Moore’s former husband. Moore is charged with committing financial elder theft, grand theft and forgery of a real estate purchase and sales agreement that occurred on May 14, 2008, according to court records. Deputy District Attorney Bill Mitchell said the preliminary hearing for the second case will last at least several days because it involves introduction of bank records and financial
information. The victim is 77 years old and lives out of state. According to the charges, Moore told her then-mother-in-law she was a 50 percent partner in a $70 million commercial building, but that was not the case, said prosecutors. She borrowed the money from her then-husband’s mother, saying it was needed for soil tests, permits and applications to the city. Moore, who is free on $500,000 bond in both cases, is represented by former District Attorney Paul Pfingst. Pfingst has provided copies of documents that say Moore was helping the restaurant meet payroll and had loaned money to the owner of Jack’s.

Howell Foundation, which dedicates its efforts to providing $3,000 scholarship grants to students who conduct research on women’s health issues. “Dr. Dorris Howell is a retired pediatric oncologist. Dorris was a member of the club at the time, and she’s been such a huge influence in women’s health and the areas of the hospice movement,” she said. “So when she was out of town one time, we decided to name the foundation after her.” The nonprofit that was created out of the La Jolla Soroptimists’ health committee has been successful over the years in granting more than 150 scholarships for students, primarily at UCSD, San Diego State University and the Cal State schools, which focus their research on women’s health.
“It was a great thing that happened,” she said. “You wouldn’t think it’s a lot of money, but we’re really seeing results.” Some of the subjects that have been researched, thanks in part to financial support from the Dorris A. Howell Foundation, include cervical cancer, breast cancer, ovarian carcinoma and Parkinson’s disease, among many other health-related topics. In addition to co-founding the foundation, one thing led to another and Kohn also became involved at the La Jolla Historical Society, where she has served on the Secret Garden Tour committee for 13 years. Last year, she served as chairwoman of the committee, which creates annual tours of tucked-away gardens in La Jolla to benefit the restoration of Wisteria Cottage. “I really enjoy working on that and other projects. I would hope that everyone does things to make them happy. That’s what it’s all about,” she said. “I love La Jolla. I love living in La Jolla, and the town is just so well worth preserving.”

Rock down to ‘Electric Avenue’

BIRD ROCK CONTINUED FROM Page 1
Although the speed limit was posted at 25 mph, drivers clocked in as high as 45 mph, LaCava said. “That created two problems for us. One, it became a problem for the merchants because nobody stopped to even see there were merchants. We had a pretty good restaurant row I think, but nobody wanted to stop and try to parallel park when the cars are going 40, 45 mph, so the businesses were really suffering,” he said. “The other thing it did was divide us as a residential community. If you lived on one side of the boulevard, you drove to get to your friend’s on the other side because it was too dangerous to walk.” After years of community dialogue, a plan was finally developed to benefit residents and merchants alike. The plan
focused on calming traffic on La Jolla Boulevard, as well as residential streets, with roundabouts and a median, improving the aesthetics and walkability of the area with landscaping and crosswalks, and putting Bird Rock merchants on the map — with parking spaces. “The key thing was that we got everybody to agree that there was a problem,” LaCava said. “Once we got people to realize there was a problem, people were more likely to be able to work together to solve the problem, and there was a big momentum moving forward.” The five-lane thoroughfare — including two southbound lanes, two northbound lanes and a turning lane — was narrowed into a two-lane boulevard with a landscaped median, five roundabouts and numerous crosswalks that invited pedestrians to stroll, shop and dine at the area’s quality shops and
restaurants. “The real measure of success to me was when you could see 8-year-old kids be able to cross the street by themselves,” he said. “One of the other unintended, but pleasant surprises was the noise. Now you can have a pleasant conversation, which makes walking here more of a pleasant experience.” Though the move to alter the neighborhood’s makeup was not without controversy, the Bird Rock community today boasts nearly 100 successful businesses and restaurants on three and a half blocks of La Jolla Boulevard from Midway Avenue to Camino de la Costa.
Although many may have remembered the process of installing the roundabouts on La Jolla Boulevard, younger generations may not recall a time when the La Jolla bike path and La Jolla Hermosa Avenue, which run parallel to the boulevard, was actually a single-track streetcar line called “Electric Avenue” — or when the La Jolla United Methodist Church was actually an ornate passenger station. There were, in fact, two trains that came through Bird Rock. The first was a small railroad that extended to La Jolla from San Diego in 1894. The railroad ceased operation in 1918, and in the following year, the track was torn up and sold as scrap to Japan. The second track — which utilized the same right-of-way as the original track from 1924 to 1940 — was an electric railway, the first of its kind on the West Coast at the time. “San Diego has the distinction of being the first city on the West Coast to have electric streetcars, and the first city on the West Coast to get rid of the electric streetcars,” said Schumacher. Historic remnants of “Electric
5
Avenue” can be found along La Jolla Hermosa Avenue still today. The name “Electric Avenue” is stamped into the curbs, track indentations can be found impressed in residential yards and the architecture of the station’s former waiting area platform can still be seen at La Jolla United Methodist Church.
‘Socially correct’ real estate Just a quick stroll down the road from Bird Rock’s merchant district is La Jolla Hermosa, a neighborhood inspired by John Spreckels — developer of Mission Beach — that dates back to 1924, Schumacher told guests on the walking tour. He said there were unique restrictions for property-owners in the area including the requirement that $8,000 must be spent on the construction of the home, properties could not contain chickens, goats or other farm animals — despite the fact that much of the surrounding area was farmland at the time — and all occupants, other than servants or employees, had to be Caucasian. An advertisement for the neighborhood in the San Diego Union in 1926 emphasized the neighborhood was built for the upper crust of society, dubbing it, “San Diego’s socially-correct spot to live.” For information about WalkSanDiego’s outings, visit www.walksandiego.org.
Remnants of Electric Avenue remain on La Jolla Hermosa Avenue in the form of its name stamped into neighborhood curbs.

Recognizing the need for outside help in caregiving
• 38 to 50 months--Besides needing tranquilizers or antidepressants, the caregiver's physical health is beginning to deteriorate. Lack of focus and sheer fatigue cloud judgment and the caregiver is often unable to make rational decisions or ask for help. It is often at this stage that family or friends intercede and find other solutions for care. This may include respite care, hiring home health aides or putting the disabled loved one in a facility. Without intervention, the caregiver may become a candidate for long term care as well...read this entire article by going to www.planforcare.org.

Caregivers often don’t recognize when they are in over their heads, and often get to a breaking point. After a prolonged period of time, caregiving can become too difficult to endure any longer. Short-term, the caregiver can handle it. Long-term, support is needed. Outside help at this point is often necessary. A typical pattern with an overloaded caregiver may unfold as follows: • 1 to 18 months--the caregiver is confident, has everything under control and is coping well. Other friends and family are lending support. • 20 to 36 months--the caregiver may be taking medication to sleep and control mood swings. Outside help dwindles away and except for trips to the store or doctor, the caregiver has severed most social contacts. The caregiver feels alone and helpless.

La Jolla important historical hub for Red Cross
The history of the Red Cross in La Jolla began with an era of great need and production of operating room linens, dressings and bandages during World War I, followed by an active Motor Corps and civil defense program during the years of World War II. The La Jolla branch continued its work through the Korean War and, after moving around in various locations through most of its lifetime, was able to set itself up in its own facility at 7602 La Jolla Blvd. by 1960. In July 1973, the local branch was discontinued and services absorbed by greater San Diego. Activities of the La Jolla branch during World War II are chronicled as part of “Homefront La Jolla, An American
Community During World War II,” the current exhibit at the La Jolla Historical Society’s Wisteria Cottage. Although the La Jolla Red Cross played an important role during World War II (which included parading its Motor Corps of shiny Buicks and Plymouths in front of La Jolla High School in 1942), the years following its inception in 1917 proved the most challenging and productive in terms of community involvement. When the first group of volunteers formed to aid the military in the Great War, it included most of the leading pioneer figures in the community like Ellen Mills, Walter Lieber and Jacob C. Harper all coming together under the leadership of Ellen Browning Scripps, who

The vehicle was purchased with grant funding made available throughout the county, said officials. The police department has so far purchased only one, and there are no immediate plans to purchase another at this time, Brown said. “The San Diego Police Department is only the trustee of the vehicle,” said Brown. “All agencies throughout the county may use it.” The vehicle is in the “familiarization and training” phase, but the department hopes to have the MUST ready for use by the beginning of the new year. “We began the purchase process in 2009 with grant funds,” she said. “We are still in the process of transferring the paperwork so that we may take delivery of it.
CONTINUED FROM Page 3 said she received inquiries regarding its potential use to detect undocumented persons entering the U.S. by way of the beach. She said the vehicle was being tested in November for its off-road capabilities and wind stability, not for immigration interdiction. “The vehicle has four-wheel drive capability and, as a city with a good portion of beach area, we need to test its capabilities — thus, the test at the beach,” she said. “As for border patrol duties, those duties are handled very capably by U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel. We do not get into that sort of enforcement.”
donated extensively to the effort. The founding group numbered 150 dedicated men and women — a sizeable part of La Jolla’s entire population in those years. The first meeting place was the new Community House, now the La Jolla Recreation Center. As the need for places to assemble and make bandages and operating room linens grew, the group soon moved into other locations around La Jolla, including the La Jolla Woman’s Club and Brotherhood Hall (located on the second floor of a grocery store on Girard Avenue — not the site of Burns’ Drugs). Photos from those early World War I years show sizeable groups of men and women dressed in white gowns and aprons tediously stitching
cloth together on behalf of “our boys in khaki now in France actively engaged in the great struggle to make the world a decent place in which to live,” as written in a 1918 letter by chairman Louise Seeley. The output was amazing in the first 17 months. The La Jolla Red Cross branch produced and collected 7,236 hospital supplies, 2,102 knitted garments, 3,424 surgical supplies and 37,550 surgical dressings — all raw materials purchased and paid for by the branch. The materials and supplies were shipped to the Red Cross in San Francisco and then deployed to troops in France and Belgium. The Bishop’s School soon set up an auxiliary to the La Jolla branch and instructed students in the making of

hospital supplies in its own gauze room. A children’s class in the “preparation of surgical dressings” also was established. In January 1918, a report described that “thirty-five happy, eager little workers came to do their bit for their country. Many of them had parents at Camp Kearney and in far away France.” A motto of the Red Cross continued, “Good things happen when you give ... good things happen when you serve.” The La Jolla Historical Society’s exhibit detailing life in World War II-era La Jolla will be on display through May 27 at 780 Prospect St. Viewing hours are noon to 4 p.m., Thursdays through Sundays.

It is within such a context that anger can be diffused, irritations can be smoothed out and pain can be healed. I tried never to lie to my children, although I had lied to my parents (in youth) to escape reprimand for a misdeed and in older age, to protect them from bad news they could do nothing about.

En garde! Someone to watch over us
One sign of health is the ability to reproduce, have the young survive to adulthood, and and have adults thrive. Here, California harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) adults and pups let us know that there is hope for our ocean’s future. ©2011 Judith Lea Garfield
BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD | VILLAGE NEWS an it be that those considered by some to be vermin, those verbally scorned, those physically harassed, may — ironically — be allies to the very ones who condemn them? I refer you to Exhibit A, our local seal and sea lion populations. Plenty of data show that while these kindred mammal spirits toil away at their own survival, they simultaneously act as sentries to guard the health of the ocean and humans. Personally, I can’t think of any vermin providing an equivalent and planetwide environmental service. This is why NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), with offices on the hill above Scripps Institution of Oceanography, brought into its fold the Human Health Initiative, which addresses the importance of marine organisms as sentinels because they portend health-threatening trends and impacts for us. While the designated sentinels include all marine mammals, no coastline is blessed with every such species. What luck we have our own personal barometer pinniped populations nearby. Both harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) make up only small populations, but however many numbers we have are better than no pinnipeds at all, particularly now that their job description has extended to helping us gauge the unknown potential short- and longterm consequences of global climate change.

SCIENCEbriefs • A new drug candidate may be the first capable of halting the devastating mental decline of Alzheimer’s disease, based on the findings of a study published recently in the science journal, PLoS One. When given to mice with Alzheimer’s, the drug, known as J147, improved memory and prevented brain damage caused by the disease. The new compound, devel-
Because marine mammals like California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) are conspicuous and likely to be observed by nonscientists, health maladies that impact these species may make humans more likely to pay attention to deteriorating ocean health issues. ©2011 Judith Lea Garfield
According to various scientific journal articles (e.g., Veterinary Pathology, May 2011; Oceanography, June 2006), most marine mammals (like us) have long life spans, are long-term coastal residents, feed on prey we also eat and carry large fat stores (typically where manmade toxins collect and bide their time before oft-unknown triggers set disease in motion). Consequently, marine mammals are our doppelganger representatives in the ocean ecosystem; they interact in the threequarters of Earth’s real estate that we are not in the same way privy. Environmental degradation from human activities (like pollution, overfishing and climate change) is showing up as new diseases in ocean plants and animals, with potential for those diseases to be passed to us directly or eventually. As an example, a percentage of stranded California sea lions are showing up with an alarmingly high incidence of a newly described urogenital cancer. The disease appears to be rooted in a combination of novel herpes virus and PCB and DDT exposures (human-created contaminants swirling in the waters of their — our — feeding grounds). Another shared human and marine mammal disease, sometimes fatal to both, is a parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. It has reared its infective head at more than half of southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) found beached. And we can’t ignore those pesky algal bloom species that carry a little something extra — deadly toxins. The algal laundry list of biopoisons includes those
species responsible for neurotoxic, diarrhetic and paralytic shellfish poisonings, now permeating all coastlines where they have been incriminated in mass mortalities of dolphins, sea lions and manatees. So you can see how our desire for many of the same food preferences as animals the most like us — without being us — can result in our being afflicted by similar diseases. Maybe it’s time to trade in those rosecolored glasses and get a new prescription. It seems shortsighted to scapegoat the local pinniped population with a litany of unsubstantiated fears. According to the Marine Mammal Commission (2004), virtually all threats to marine mammals are ultimately related to humans via our population size, growth rate, and consumption and behavior patterns. We need our pinnipeds, if for no other reason than purely selfish human survival. The San Diego Lifeguard Service likes to tout itself as a 24/7 service, but it’s really our local pinnipeds who trump them as the true lifeguards at the beach. I am bewildered why everyone isn’t enamored of these charismatic animals and our great fortune in having them as part of our urban landscape, and it’s a wonder they are here considering all the depressing news about the environment. Instead, that our pinniped populations exist here offers concrete proof that even though the ocean is in poor health overall, it isn’t dead. Our seals and sea lions give us hope for the ocean’s health and provide ongoing
inspiration for us as individuals and a community to do much more to secure the natural world for future generations. Yes, we need the will, but it is possible. Maybe many folks will change their exaggerated negative views of the local pinnipeds once they discover the benefits to humans. And who knows, those choosing to shift their passion from seal eradication will free up time for dedicating toward inclusive community quality-of-life issues, like raising funds to extend the hours of La Jolla’s Rifford Library. Wouldn’t that be a thrill? And what better time to hope than this holiday season? — Judith Lea Garfield, biologist and underwater photographer, has authored two natural history books about the underwater park off La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Shores.

oped by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, could be tested for treatment of the disease in humans in the near future. “J147 enhances memory in both normal and Alzheimer’s mice and also protects the brain from the loss of synaptic connections,” said David Schubert, head of Salk’s Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory, whose team developed the new drug. “No drugs on the market for Alzheimer’s have both of these properties.” Although it is yet unknown
whether the compound will prove safe and effective in humans, Salk researchers said their results suggest the drug may hold potential for treatment of people with Alzheimer’s.
entists at the Salk Institute reported finding that proteins that control the body’s biological rhythms, known as cryptochromes, also interact with metabolic switches that are targeted by certain anti-inflammatory drugs. The finding suggests that side effects of current drugs might be avoided by considering patients’ biological rhythms when administering drugs, or by developing new drugs that target the cryptochromes. “We knew that our sleep and wake cycle are tied to when our bodies pro-

cess nutrients, but how this happened at the genetic and molecular level was a complete mystery,” said Ronald M. Evans, a professor in Salk’s Gene Expression Laboratory, who led the research team. “Now we’ve found the link between these two important systems, which could serve as a model for how other cellular processes are linked and could hold promise for better therapies.” — Staff and contribution

December was the month for Leonard Simpson’s fourth annual “Ten Best Dressed” awards, celebrating 10 very well-dressed San Diego-area women and 10 very well-dressed men. Are they really the best dressed ladies and gentlemen in San Diego? Well, the awards are based on partly on fashion sense (and these folks certainly know how to dress well), but their philanthropic efforts are an even more important factor. Hosted by Simpson’s company, Fashion Forward, and held at Ramin Pourteymour’s famed La Jolla “Atoll House,” the event was expected to draw about 350 guests — but friends invited friends, and the crowd was twice the anticipated size, making for quite a crush. Wait staff bravely served hors
d’oeuvres, doing quite a credible job. Live and silent auctions brought in funds for the event’s 10 local charity beneficiaries, including The Arc of San Diego, Kids Korps, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County, Home Start, NSW Family Foundation, St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center, San Diego Center for Children, San Diego Food Bank, San Diego Police Historical Association and United Way. Sally Thornton presented each of those noted organizations with a generous check from the Thornton Foundation. In case you’re wondering, the 10 ladies honored at the SEE SOCIETY, Page 14

C O A S TA L D I N I N G IN AND AROUND LA JOLLA Cafe Milano Owner/Chef Pasquale Cianni, brought Northern Italian cuisine to La Jolla 12 years ago & has been successfully pleasing both local residents & out of towners, even out of the country guests, with his home made pappardelle pasta, veal ossobuco, lobster ravioli and other many authentic Italian dishes. Cafe Milano offers your palate an exciting & incredible experience for the whole family at affordable prices. Early Bird Special: 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and choose a select soup or salad, menu entrée, and dessert for $17.95.
Donovan’s Steak House They may look good enough to eat, but the paintings and sculptures at Donovan’s of La Jolla are strictly off limits – so you’ll have to content yourself with the USDA prime beef, the eatery’s star attraction. If steak isn’t in the plan, pork and veal chops and succulent seafood will satisfy the most discriminating of palates. And at Donovan’s, fresh seasonal vegetables and your choice of potato are always included with each entrée.

The late Barbara Christensen and nine of her friends met in La Jolla in 1984 to do something positive about the problem of child abuse. They founded the St. Germaine Auxiliary to the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation, which grew rapidly, and was later renamed St. Germaine Children’s Charity (SGCC). Now with about 330 members, the organization sponsors social service agencies responsible for the care, shelter and treatment of abused and atrisk children from birth to age 18. SGCC’s signature fundraising event is its Silver Tea, held each December. Popular since the start, the event originally was free to attend. Guests placed checks and cash donations in a large silver bowl near the entry. But the attendance grew steadily, undeterred by the imposition of an admission charge. A few years ago, SGCC began making reservations available for two different afternoon tea times so that the roughly 400 attendees would not all arrive at once and overwhelm even the large estates at which these teas are held. Always in beautiful private residences,
this year’s tea — chaired by Aimee Lansky and Sheila Scaramanga — was at the lovely La Jolla estate of Maureen and Chad Carpenter. Guests enjoyed visiting the beautifully designed and decorated homes, the elegantly poured tea, and the little tea sandwiches and lovingly made sweet treats prepared by the SGCC members. Fourteen Mira Mesa High School students working toward careers as event planners provided lots of help. They shadowed the committee members, learning how to plan and execute a complex event and earning their community service hours. Snake Oil Cocktail Company concocted the St. Germaine Tea Time from vodka, chilled Earl Grey tea, lemon conserva and Tahitian vanilla bean. Wines were also served and a raffle with just 50 tickets (at $100 each) guaranteed each ticketholder a prize worth at least $75 — and some were worth more than $1,000. Varied silent auction items included artworks and vacation getaways valued as high as $4,700. New this year — but expected to become an annual tradition — were Silver Tea Paintings created right there at the event by talented artists (this year, Anne Waddell and Lisa Hill). SGCC has raised approximately $3 million in funds and in-kind donations for their causes over the years, and the 2011 Tea alone brought in $130,000. There’s no paid staff — every penny goes to the services the organization provides. Membership dues cover expenses, with leftover money going into the pot at the end. Grant recipients will receive their funds at a luncheon at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club on June 7.

Twas the week before Christmas, And all round the town, Not a buyer was buying... Not one could be found. The listings all hung, in their folders with care, In hopes that Saint Buyer, Soon would be there. Ma in her business suit, I with valise, Had just settled down, To draw up a lease.

Sunbeams off Mercedes, Lined in a row, Gave the luster of diamonds, To cars that cost dough. When what to my wandering eyes should appear, But a shiny Rolls Royce and a driver with cheer! “Close Thomas Street and buy Gennesse!” He shouted with glee. A true investor he was; No mere amateur was he. And we heard him exclaim as he JOSEPH DEAN KLATT PhD Rolls-ed out of sight, LIST WHERE THE REAL ESTATE ACTION IS “Merry Christmas Klatt Realty, KLATT REALTY INC.
