Judge clears way to reopen Princess St. beach access

Gratitude turns what we have into enough

ait. Stop your busy life for a moment. Thanksgiving Day will provide you that break. Don’t let it pass without taking time to truly reflect on the many wonderful things in your life. A wise woman remarked that if we took just half the time we spend lamenting all the things we don’t have and used that time to be thankful for all the things we do, most of us would be a lot more joyful and content. “It’s not happiness that brings us gratitude, it’s gratitude that brings us happiness” goes the old adage. At La Jolla Light, we wish to extend our gratitude to our contributors, our readers and our advertisers as we strive to present the community talking to itself — the hallmark of a good newspaper. See you at the Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8 along Girard Avenue.

Melinda Merryweather (left) and a Princess Street resident, who declined to state her name, debate the merits of reopening public beach access near her home. “I think it’s a disaster,” the woman said. “We have watched so much cliff (erode) in that area. It’s gone — and there’s nothing but rocks down there. It’s an absolute dangerous place.” Pat Sherman

By Pat Sherman A once-popular beach access point at the foot of Princess Street that has been blocked for decades by private development could soon be restored and open to the public — a victory for La Jolla beach access advocates, and a headache for the property owners and their neighbors, who only wish to allow emergency access to lifeguards. On Nov. 18, a San Diego County Superior Court judge ruled that the California Coastal Commission (CCC) may enforce a condition of the development permit it issued for the home in 1979, which requires that the property owner record an easement to restore public access to the beach. A path on the property, which had been accessible to the public since 1932, was closed off in 1978 when then property owner Jane Baker built her home on top of it while the original development permit was being challenged in court. The original permit did not include a stipulation requiring that public access be maintained. While the legal challenge to it was pending, Baker completed her home. Baker never signed the revised permit requiring public access, nor reopened the path, though she “nonetheless accepted its terms by completing the construction of her home,” the court ruled this month.

DPR rejects Valencia’s sidewalk café due to pedestrian issues

Proposed Cafe La Rue sidewalk seating at 1132 Prospect St. would front the La Valencia Hotel. Pat Sherman

By Ashley Mackin Plans for the proposed sidewalk café at the soon-to-be expanded Café La Rue (once home to The Whaling Bar) at La Valencia Hotel, underwent a second review by the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) at its November meeting. And then members voted the plans down. The project requires a neighborhood-use permit for the 198-square-foot sidewalk cafe at 1132 Prospect St., located in Zone 1 of the La Jolla Planned District. As reported in La Jolla Light, the Planned District Ordinance committee approved the project in October, but when

presented to DPR, members voiced concerns. At issue were repaving the entire area so a more continuous appearance would be provided; installing rounded angles at the railing corners; presenting a more detailed elevation of the walk, the railing, and the south elevation of the building; and providing more detailed information on a palm tree location. DPR members were also worried about the possibility of a bottleneck around the sidewalk café for pedestrian traffic. La Valencia representatives returned to

From Beach Access, A1 A handful of subsequent property owners, including current owners, Ure and Diane Kretowicz, who purchased the home at foreclosure in 1994, also did not comply with the public access condition. The Kretowiczes have been involved in litigation with the CCC over the easement condition since 1999. Settlement negotiations between the Kretowiczes and the CCC have broken down through the years. These include the Kretowiczes’ offer to provide alternate public access by paying more than $3 million to rebuild a stairway on bluffs near Coast Walk that burned down in the early 1960s. “There were a variety of proposals … to either provide alternative access or to delay opening of the accessway across the Kretowicz property,” CCC Supervising Staff Counsel Chris Pederson said. “Either the commission thought the proposal for alternative access wasn’t equivalent or Kretowicz balked at providing alternative access that the commission thought was sufficient. “In the last proposal, there had been an offer regarding a potentially significant delay in the opening of the access and the commission decided that that wasn’t appropriate — especially given the long delays associated with opening the access from the past several decades.” The Nov. 18 court ruling dismissed the Kretowiczes’ argument that the statute of limitations had run out to enforce the easement condition, stating that, “The passage of time will not legalize ongoing and continuing violations of permit conditions.” The Kretowiczes also argued that the CCC

Melinda Merryweather stands at a bluff-top gate that for nearly 35 years has blocked access to the shoreline below. There, she and her grandmother once took a path up from the shore after exploring the tide pools or walking from Scripps Pier. Pat Sherman can not enforce the public access condition because it has not, until recently, attempted to enforce it. However, the court found that “the mere failure to enforce the law … will not (prohibit) the government from subsequently enforcing it.” Pederson said he is not sure why it took the CCC several decades to pursue enforcement of the beach access condition. “This was now more than 30 years ago,” he said. “There are just gaps in the documentation about what happened during that time period. In the late ’90s it came back to our attention in the context of a proposal for some new development on the Kretowicz property.” The permit issued by the CCC in 1979

states that the public access requirement “runs with the land,” meaning that “all future owners and possessors of the property are bound to these terms and conditions” and that “third party transactions (sales) do not immunize defective land use approvals,” the court also found. La Jolla Parks and Beaches committee member Melinda Merryweather, who has long sought to reopen Princess Street access to the public, heralded the recent ruling. Others who also favor opening public access there include La Jolla architect Anthony Ciani (who recently fought the CCC to assure beach access would be maintained in front on Mitt and Ann Romney’s La Jolla property when their beachfront home is

rebuilt) and Billy Booth, the son of Jane Baker (whose home initially blocked the public access). “I am so proud of the Coastal Commission for fighting for what they stand for,” said Merryweather, noting that the Princess Street access point is part of the La Jolla Community Plan. “We now have our access back, which will need a lot of work, as it has not been maintained for all these years, but it can and will be done.” Before public access can be reinstated, the path leading down to the beach must be restored to a safe condition. Lee McEachern, a district regulatory supervisor for the CCC’s San Diego district office, said CCC’s staff engineer and geologist have reviewed preliminary plans for a stairway that would lead from the left of the Kretowicz property to the shoreline below. “They agree it’s feasible and could be done, once the easement is recorded and accepted by whatever entity (agrees to maintain it),” McEachern said. A locked gate on the Kretowicz property currently blocks access to the beach. Ure Kretowicz said he believes reopening full access puts the public at risk. “It’s a dangerous adventure to get from Princess Street down to that water,” he said. “We’ve always been willing to give an easement for emergency lifeguard service. … We would either give them a code or an override button that would just unlock the gate and allow them to head right on down the side of the house.” Neighbor Dave Reynolds, who resides in the adjacent, 1907 Wheeler J. Bailey house

State-of-the-Art Facility

Venter Institute researchers move into new digs

Geneticist J. Craig Venter poses on the deck of his second-floor office at his new research facility at the corner of Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Village Drive. Pictured with him is his miniature poodle, Darwin. Photos by Pat Sherman maximize its computer controlled, energy efficient technology. This includes everything from low-water landscaping to green rooftops, photovoltaic

panels, windows that flood the building with natural daylight and sustainably harvested wood, such as the bamboo used for furniture in founder J. Craig Venter’s

On the Web ■ J. Craig Venter Institute: jcvi.org “We don’t just let ‘em just walk in,” he laughed, “(but), yes, I want to be visible as well. … Everybody’s open and accessible. “I’m already seeing employees who have been hidden in offices and corners of the other building that I never saw before,” he added. “In my research career that started here (in La Jolla) in 1972, I’ve never seen such a gorgeous environment for working or doing research in. Sitting here looking over the ocean and La Jolla Cove, if this is not a great environment for you, we should move you to the ... psych ward.” The building is comprised of about 40 percent lab space and 60 percent office space — with no cubicle-style barriers separating

not-for-profit research facility even includes its own weather station to measure current conditions such as wind speed and sunlight intensity to

second-story office. “It’s trying to literally put our money where our mouths are in (terms of) the environment,” said the genial geneticist, tossing a drink coaster Frisbee-style to his publicist and wife, Heather Kowalski, seated on a sofa nearby with their 4-year-old miniature poodle, Darwin, at her side. “This is the most environmentally (friendly) research facility ever constructed,” Venter said. “We’re trying to practice what we preach and live and set examples for showing that (sustainable) engineering can be done for complicated research buildings, not just for office buildings.” “As you can see, it’s a very bright and open environment,” he added. Asked if that open atmosphere includes an open door policy with employees, Venter joked that an assistant is armed with a Taser at his door.

By Pat Sherman Sequencing the human genome requires a lot of freezer space to store DNA, the molecule in which most living organisms’ genetic instructions and hereditary information is contained. A model of energy efficiency and sustainability, the new J. Craig Venter Institute off Torrey Pines Road wastes none of the heat energy required to keep its copious freezers at around -80 degrees Celsius. “Underneath this building there are two 25,000-gallon water tanks that we use to store thermal energy,” explained Venter Institute’s chief operating officer, Bob Friedman, during a tour of the facility on its second day of operations. “We collect all the waste heat in the building during the day, including waste heat from (lab) freezers. Then we use what would have been waste heat to heat the building at night.” The 45,000-sqaure-foot,

researchers, which Venter said is designed to promote a collaborative environment. “Out of sight is often out of mind,” he said. “It’s to encourage the scientists to talk to each other … and encouraging interactions.” Patio furniture on the decks will provide further interactive space for researchers. “We are on the UC campus,” Venter said. “The goal is to have lots of collaborations — that’s what this facility’s designed for. There will be graduate students here, post-docs from the university, undergraduate students. … It’s forcing and encouraging interaction with people by having them be exposed to each other.” The move from the Venter Institute’s former building on Science Center Drive won’t change the work of its roughly 300 scientists and staff — which includes its efforts to create synthetic living cells and transform genetic code, as well as the study of the human microbiome, a collaboration with Dr. David Brenner, Dean of the UC San Diego School of Medicine. A microbiome is a community of symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms sharing the human body, which was first discovered by Venter Institute researchers. “You have more bacteria associated with your body than you have human cells,” Venter said. “It’s associated with almost every disease — obesity, diabetes. … We have a diverse group of scientists here for a small research institution.” While the research won’t change, Venter said the environment in which the research is conducted has definitely evolved. “I have offices in other places; I’m closing them down,” he said. “I’m moving into this as my permanent office.”

That’s how you beat cancer: One patient at a time.

Frontline Cancer SCOTT M. LIPPMAN, M.D.

Individual genome sequencing will become part of any treatment

magine trying to treat pneumonia with insulin. Pretty quickly, you’d decide that pneumonia is hard to treat or insulin isn’t much of a drug. Neither conclusion would be true, of course. Pneumonia is effectively treated with antibiotics. Biosynthetic insulin saves the lives of millions of diabetics daily. The point, as my colleague Dr. Razelle Kurzrock often says, is that a drug’s effectiveness depends upon matching it to the right disease or target. This might seem obvious, but often it is not the case. New cancer drugs and therapies, for example, have long been developed in large, lengthy, expensive clinical trials where success is measured by improvements that last only a few weeks. What happens to drugs and treatments that don’t have a widespread effect but do provide deep, perhaps profound, benefit to a few patients? Typically, they’re abandoned. The overarching goal is to create therapeutics with the broadest, most-profitable bang for the buck, not necessarily therapeutics with the greatest efficacy. Drugs and treatments that help only a few patients are considered inefficient and cost-prohibitive. They are orphaned and often forgotten. This hard reality of medical science is nowhere more apparent than in cancer, a villain that morphs into hundreds of henchmen. There are more than 200 types of cancer — from breast cancer to Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. Each type presents its own challenges. A treatment that works in some patients won’t in others, even if they have the “same” cancer type. As I’ve mentioned in previous columns, personalized cancer medicine is a fundamentally different approach to addressing this challenge. It fashions therapies and medicines based upon the precise, particular circumstances and needs of each patient. It’s one reason why individual genome sequencing will become, in the not-too-distant future, a routine part of any treatment. With a detailed clinical, social, genetic, genomic and environmental biography of each patient, doctors can more precisely tailor treatment to each patient. This is medicine matched down to the molecule. Achieving this kind of precision requires serious basic research. Massive cancer genome sequencing efforts by government-funded consortia, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas and the International Cancer Genome Consortium, reveal a dauntingly complex landscape of DNA sequence changes in tumor cells. It turns out that tumors from patients with the same cancer can look completely different at the genomic scale. Clinicians and researchers need to think differently about how to diagnose and treat cancer. They must think genomically. Our understanding of the human genome is still in its infancy, but early results indicate that personalizing drugs based on the list of DNA alterations in a tumor can be very successful. Clinicians, basic scientists and bioinformatics researchers across the mesa are tackling this challenge together. They come from The Scripps Research Institute, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, SanfordBurnham Medical Research Institute, J. Craig Venter Institute, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and the San Diego Supercomputer Center, which houses some

of the most advanced computing resources in the world. Research resources at all of these institutions, such as cell sorters to isolate rare cancer stem cells and highthroughput machines to sequence tumor-cell DNA, are integral to this effort. This work in cancer genome sequencing will be invaluable to us in building a robust, world-class system that matches each new cancer patient with the latest molecular technologies and therapeutics most likely to achieve the best, fastest results. Quick intervention is critical. More than 90 percent of all cancer deaths are due to metastasis, the spreading of cancer from its original tumor site. The impetus is to find what works based upon individual patients, not upon broad cancer types. It is essential to design a protocol that makes every patient a clinical trial of one. Dr. Kurzrock has developed just such a protocol, called PREDICT, or Profile-Related Evidence Determining Individualized Cancer Therapy. She is implementing such a protocol at Moores Cancer Center. Before coming to San Diego, Dr. Kurzrock earned wide acclaim for developing one of the largest and best phase 1 clinical trials programs in the nation at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Hallmarks of that program were innovative clinical trials with new, targeted therapies, and matching patients with drugs based on their molecular profile. Now she is building on this effort in the new Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy, a major initiative of Moores Cancer Center. This is complex work. It requires extraordinary resources — human, scientific and technological. But as we proceed and progress, we will better learn what works and why. Each patient and every case will add to our armamentarium of knowledge and abilities.

Home for the Holidays Many people hesitate to place their home on the market during the holiday season, thinking prospective buyers are too busy with holiday activities to bother with looking at homes to purchase. However, historical data shows the holiday period to be a very good time to find a buyer. Prospective buyers might have more free time during the holidays. Plus thanks to the Internet, buyers can still look at properties while holiday shopping or waiting for guests to arrive. The Internet gives the buyer the opportunity to review homes at any hour of the day or nigh to choose what they might like to select to visit. We have found that people looking at homes during the holiday season tend to be very serious buyers. Often they are operating on a need to move deadline, such as a job transfer. Home sales do slow down from Thanksgiving to January, but they certainly do not stop. Also, with a certain number of owners holding off with listing their homes for sale until after the holidays, the competition with other similar properties on the market is less. Considering all the factors, the holiday period is a particularly strategic time to offer a home for sale. The most special holiday gift for some family just might be a deed to a new home.

From Sidewalk Cafe, A1 DPR on Nov. 18 with modifications to the sidewalk café, seeking its approval before presenting the project to the Community Planning Association on Dec. 5. La Valencia hopes to open the café in December. Though each concern was individually addressed — with the exception of the rounded railing, which La Valencia decided not to change — DPR members voted not to approve findings for a Neighborhood Use Permit as presented. Member Diane Kane, although voting for the necessary permit, said she was “on the fence,” and hoped it would ultimately be voted down. “I think there is way too much going on in that location and this is adding to it,” she said. “We are losing more and more public realm to private uses, and that spot is really a critical bottleneck, so I think there are safety issues and pedestrian issues. There is just not enough room on that sidewalk for all the stuff people want to do there.” Representatives for the project said they would next proceed to the CPA, despite the “no” vote from the DPR. La Valencia Hotel representative Carey Algaze polled those who voted against the plans to understand their reasoning so she could address those concerns at the CPA meeting.

In other DPR news: n The Reserve Project

Plans to develop a four-lot subdivision

with three estate-home lots and one open-space lot at 6850 Country Club Drive (aka The Reserve Project) were back before the DPR for final approval. The DPR committee has reviewed the project twice, visited the site in 2012, and based on its observations, expressed concerns about height, view impacts, runoff and fencing options. Project representatives presented updated plans, and cited La Jolla design standards as the basis for their choices of color, height and building materials. However, some DPR members said they didn’t have the chance to review the design standards in the parts applicable to the project, and needed more time before they could approve the project. The DPR voted that findings could not be made for the necessary permits, but invited project representatives to their next meeting, when they’ve had more time to verify design standards. DPR Chair Paul Benton said project representatives have the option of returning to DPR or proceeding to the CPA.

n 6767 Neptune Place

One project that did garner DPR approval was the residential apartment complex located at 6767 Neptune Place. Benton said the applicant was “very responsive,” and changed the proposed bright white exterior to muted colors, and recessed the balcony, per DPR requests. — The DPR committee meets at 4 p.m. the second and third Tuesday of the month, at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. LaJollaCPA.org

From Beach Access, A3 (designed by Irving Gill), said he also does not want public access reinstated. “We’ve been against it forever,” Reynolds said. “It’s just not safe; it’s a liability issue. … There’s very easy access from the Marine Room. Plus, it would be an invasion of the neighborhood.” However, WindanSea Surf Club president Ozstar De Jourday said the beach access north of Princess Street, near the Marine Room restaurant on Spindrift Drive, is not always a safe route. He said the Princess Street access is the safest way up during high tide or rough water conditions, and a necessary point of access for divers, surfers and others walking the coast. De Jourday recalled once being stuck on the rocks below with a group of young surfers, having to cajole Ure Kretowicz into allowing them to come up through his property. “When the waves are big that’s super dangerous (trying to get up from the beach near the Marine Room),” he said. Ure Kretowicz said he is not yet sure whether he will appeal the Nov. 18 court ruling. “We’re sitting here with

counsel looking at all of our options — one of which is to appeal,” he said.

for the city’s Park and Recreation department, said it was most likely a city sign. However, he said the city did not modify it, nor remove it. Kretowicz also denied any implication that he removed the sign. Should the Kretowiczes appeal the ruling, Pederson said, the CCC would “certainly continue to vigorously defend the commission’s action and argue in favor of the trial court ruling.” Once a legal path is clear for the CCC to move forward with enforcement, McEachern said, “there’s some pretty specific time frames (in which) they need to get the easements recorded.”

n Sign of the times

Merryweather provided La Jolla Light with photos of a sign that once stood near the railing where Princess Street and Spindrift Drive connect, which she said denoted Princess Street as a beach access point. She said that at some point the words “At Marine Room” were added, with an arrow pointing north on Spindrift Drive. Several years ago, the sign was inexplicably removed.

La Jolla High debate ace ranks top in the nation By Pat Sherman La Jolla High School senior Ram Prasad has spent two years traveling the nation arguing for and against sides in some of today’s most pressing issues, such as rehabilitation versus retribution in the criminal justice system and the appropriate response to domestic violence. His dogged research skills and knack for persuasion have earned him the distinction of being the No. 1 ranked Lincoln-Douglas style debater in the United States. “To keep it up, I just need to keep doing well, winning tournaments and round robins,” said Prasad, 17, who also has the highest number of bids on the national circuit toward inclusion in the Tournament of Champions — the most prestigious high school debate tournament in the country, held the first week in May at the University of Kentucky. The Lincoln-Douglas form is based on a series of debates between Republican Abraham Lincoln and Democrat Sen. Stephen Douglas in 1858, which highlighted the issue of slavery in the United States. “Those debates emphasized questions of morality and our normative obligations,” said Prasad, explaining that today’s LincolnDouglas debates focus on a rapid rate of delivery and political and moral theory. La Jolla High’s lunchtime speech and debate club coach Robert Boyd said each year the school sends students to participate in the

You are forced to “debate for both sides of the topic. It’s not a question of choice, really. I think having to debate both sides gives me a degree of skepticism toward absolute credence in any one belief.

”

Prasad

La Jolla High School senior and No. 1 ranked Lincoln-Douglas style debater in the United States

state debate championships, though Prasad is the only one with national credentials. “I’ve seen other debaters who can be very hostile and aggressive,” Boyd said. “Ram has a very sophisticated approach where he doesn’t need to yell at his opponents or try to blow them away with histrionics. He gets them with the facts and a cool head.” With financial assistance from his parents, nearly every weekend Ram travels to various tournaments around the country to compete

against some of the nation’s top debaters. From Nov. 23-25, Prasad competed in the Glenbrook Speech and Debate Tournament in Chicago and will participate in seven or eight other debates before the end of the year. “He’s been chipping away at them, and finally this year he’s on top,” Boyd said. Ram said he got interested in debating after losing a debate in eighth-grade history class. He said he enjoys the academic challenge of preparing for debates, which

includes up to two hours a day researching, writing arguments and competing in practice rounds. “There is a large degree of freedom in researching and learning things on my own time, as opposed to say the constraints of school,” he said. Debaters must prepare to argue equally well for each side of an argument. “You are forced to debate for both sides of the topic. It’s not a question of choice, really,” Prasad explained. “I try to put in the same amount of work regardless of whether I like the topic or not. I think having to debate both sides gives me a degree of skepticism toward absolute credence in any one belief.” Tournament winners receive no money, just “shiny trophies and recognition,” Prasad said. “My parents are very generous and supportive,” he added. Prasad’s mother, Durga Rani characterized her son as a “voracious reader” with a “natural curiosity for learning about world affairs.” Though the national debate circuit can be “work-intensive, time-consuming and stressful,” Rani said she is excited that her son has reached the “pinnacle of competition.” “Debate is about more than just winning — although that’s always nice!” she enthused. “It’s about diving into thoughtprovoking topics that enable Ram to pursue his interests in ethics and public policy with unparalleled intellectual freedom.”

La Jolla Elementary team engineers success in robotics competition By Catherine Ivey Lee Three teams from La Jolla Elementary School prepared all fall for their first robotics competition. At the recent event at High Tech High, the young engineers presented to judges, maneuvered robots and made emergency fixes on the fly. What the rookie teams weren’t prepared for, however, was for one of them to take home a first-place trophy in one of the event’s main categories. “It was the very last award announced,” said Keegan Leonard, 11, a member of the winning team, Blank Paper. Leonard recalled that a loud plane overhead had caused a momentary delay in the award’s announcement. “And then, ‘The winner is team Blank Paper!’ ” Keegan said. “Our parents were right behind us, screaming.” For good reason. Not only was this LJES’s first foray into competitive robotics but its team members are also at the younger end of the competition’s 9- to 14-year-old age range, explained the team’s coach, Joan Boyle. “This was our first year and we didn’t expect to get anything,” Boyle said. “We’re so proud of their achievements. They worked so hard — every one of them.” It was only last winter that Boyle started LJES’s robotics program as

Members of La Jolla Elementary School’s three robotics teams: The Hairy Eyeballs are Ella Hagey, Tabitha Hibbs and Ariana Didomenico; Da People are Vito Anastasi, Alex West and Connor Reynoso Spurrier; The Blank Paper are Keegan Leonard, Ollie Mendel and Kristofer Backlund. Courtesy an after-school class. A third grade teacher with no formal background in science, the enthusiastic Boyle wanted students to have a chance to explore robots in a hands-on way. She also hoped the class might stoke girls’ interests in math and science. A generous parent, who wanted his daughter involved, donated funds for six LEGO Mindstorms, robots students can build and program using software on a laptop. This fall more than 30 students enrolled in her after-school program and Boyle decided to enter three teams of “seasoned” programmers into the First LEGO League, or FLL,

tournament at High Tech High. The teams included Blank Paper and Da People, both comprised of fifthgraders, as well as the Hairy Eyeballs, an all-girls team of fourth-graders supported by a grant to encourage girls in science that Boyle was awarded from the San Diego Chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering. Under guidance from Boyle and with support from two parents, Bill Hagey and Bjorn Backlund, the budding engineers met weekly this fall — sometimes more — to prepare for FLL. The elaborate competition has three categories, each related to this year’s theme of natural

disasters: a robotics challenge, in which students navigate their robots across a disaster zone and complete tasks such as raising buildings to higher ground and moving people to safety; a project, in which teams develop a novel solution aimed at thwarted a real disaster; and “core values,” in which teams show mastery of skills such as teamwork and cooperation. It was Blank Paper’s innovative solution to the very real disaster of wildfires that received high marks from the judges. The group, which also included 11 year olds Ollie Mendel and Kristofer Backlund, proposed dropping an enormous,

lightweight blanket of fire-resistant material from a helicopter to extinguish smaller wildfires. “It would be made out of the same material that firefighter’s outfits are made out of,” explained Backlund of Blank Paper’s idea. “Not only would it smother it but the oxygen would be sucked out and it would slowly start putting itself out,” Mendel added. In researching the idea, the boys received feedback from local firefighters. Team Da People also investigated wildfires, proposing a sensor that could detect materials such as leaves and wood just before they combust. The Hairy Eyeballs proposed a sensor to detect tsunamis before they hit. After coming in first place out of 24 teams in the project category, Blank Paper will advance to a regional championship at LEGOLAND in December, FLL organizer David Berggren said. And while they didn’t go home with trophies, LJES’s other two teams clearly considered their involvement a success, too. “All three of us had a lot of fun,” said Ariana Didomenico of her team, Hairy Eyeballs, as she and her teammates began to take their robot apart to rebuild it. The group said it was motivated to do better at LEGOLAND this winter.

Table 926 brings warm Latin flavors to cool San Diego nights By Marti Gacioch Chef Matt Richman loves blending Caribbean and South American flavors with his own fusion of California/Mediterranean cuisine at Table 926. Richman, who grew familiar with Latin flavor influences while working in restaurants in Coral Gables, Fla., sets his eatery apart by serving dishes seldom found in San Diego. “In Florida, they do a completely different style of cooking with ingredients like plantains, boniato (sweet potatoes) and yucca, which you don’t see here,” Richman said. He likes to pair a rib-eye steak or fish with mashed boniato, or transform yucca into fries. For more flavor, Richman adds chimichurri sauce (Argentina’s top condiment). “It’s wonderful on steak and red meats,” he said. Richman, who grew up in La Jolla, opened the restaurant with his father/partner, Douglas Richman, two years ago. He trained at San Francisco’s California Culinary Academy and honed his skills as sous chef at Del Mar’s Pacifica before moving to Coral Gables. While working at Otanique and the Nuevo Latino restaurant, Chispa, Richman learned the art of enhancing his dishes with Latin flavors. Returning to San Diego, Richman worked as executive chef at My Place and Illume Bistro before opening Table 926.

The setting at Table 926 is casual yet upscale, rustic and polished. “The focus of Table 926 is to capture the flavor of European-style restaurants, where we have four to six daily specials every night,” Richman said. “Our daily menu is based on the season — what’s freshest in the market that day — and what our meat and fish vendors say is good.” Fall specials for cooler nights include coq au vin — braised chicken marinated in red wine with a medley of delicious vegetables cooked together. “We’re serving a lot of braised red meats, ragus, lamb, beef, veal and sauces now, as

well as winter squash (pumpkin, butternut) broccoli, kale and chard,” Richman said. Steamed Venus Clams and his signature Duck Taco Carnitas are also top choices. For dessert, Table 926 offers its popular DIY banana splits made with Richman’s homemade ice cream served with ramekins filled with sauces and a variety of toppings. Beer Dinners are proving popular at Table 926. “We pick local craft breweries like Stone, Ballast Point and Green Flash, and do a fivecourse meal with beer and food pairings for $59,” Richman said.

A popular appetizer is the Steamed Venus Clams with fennel confit, Spanish chorizo, chili flakes, white wine-butter broth and salsa verde. For New Year’s Eve, Richman plans a prixfixe, three-course dinner for $75 with a free glass of Champagne.

‘One Shot at a Time’

La Jolla junior golfer competes in state championship By Ashley Mackin La Jolla High School junior Daniela Anastasi just returned from competing at the CIF State Championship in golf where she placed 37th. She is also the first female golfer to make it to the state level from La Jolla High School. But for the young golfer, it’s all about what’s next. “I’m just excited to see what happens after this, when it comes to the college search, but also my game, to see if I can improve and score lower and play better at tougher courses, and to be a better player overall,” she said. “It has motivated me to make state next year, too, and hopefully score even lower and place higher.” Looking beyond next year, she is also looking at how this achievement will affect her college applications. “I know I want to play golf in college, but this has solidified the idea that I can,” Anastasi said. “Now I might have options as to where I want to go; I might have my choice based on the school, not just if I’m on the team.” It was seeing the coaches at the CIF state championships that made Anastasi realize where she was. “I didn’t feel the pressure until the actual day, when I saw the level of competition and saw the college coaches with their clipboards, taking notes on the players,” she said. Before she made it to state, she competed

with her team at the San Diego CIF Championship. From the San Diego CIF competition, she as an individual qualified for regionals. There were 144 players from across Southern California participating in the regional level, and the top players in that group qualified for state. The top 54 players in the state competed at that level. Since this was her first year playing golf at the state level, she tried to just enjoy the experience, she said. “I knew whatever

happened, I was at state, and that was what mattered … just knowing I was there meant so much to me.” She earned her spot by improving her short game, she said. “I was at a level where I was decent and I was playing in tournaments, but I wasn’t considered a competitor. When I switched to my current coach, Bob Townsend, within two months, my game went from (scores of) high 70s and low 80s down to low 70s.”

She said she also uses a method called AimPoint, a putting strategy and way of reading the green. Mastering this skill has given her a new way of viewing the game and any possible mistakes. “Because my short game has improved a lot, I can hit bad shots (in long drives) and still recover,” she said. In addition to her short game, Anastasi said her attitude makes a huge contribution to her game. Namely, what she calls “Zen Mode.” “I don’t let things faze me, like another competitor or a bad shot or anything that comes up in the round, I just keep going, knowing it can always get better and always get worse,” she said. The first time she experienced Zen Mode, it came after a long night studying for finals and very little sleep. “I didn’t have the mental capacity to think about it,” she joked. Having experienced a clear mind, focusing only on that shot at hand, she saw how much pressure was lifted off her shoulders. She also has to remind herself that she will never be perfect; another Zen Mode-esque practice that helps her. “It’s a game of never being perfect, and that’s a hard thing for a lot of players to accept, the fact that you’ll never be perfect at it,” she said. “It’s about the want to get better and the want to shoot lower and the want to hit drives further that will create the best players. “I just play it one shot at a time.”

It’s an annoying idea! With people together in such tight quarters, it’s not appropriate to be talking about private matters on your phone. Maybe texting or using the multi-media apps is OK, but not having personal conversations. Ena Berdugo

Bad idea. It would be horrible to be sitting next to someone talking on a cell phone and overhearing what they’re saying. Many of us don’t start conversations on planes with the people next to us because we don’t want to talk for four hours. Maybe texts, but no phone calls. Adrian Fortmann

What happens if it’s an overnight flight and someone is really tired? Talking on your phone with others so close by will be disturbing. You’ve got to think of others. Many people on flights want silence. Joe Jagpat

That’s a terrible idea. Some people are on planes to relax, they’re starting a vacation. If they travel for business, they want to unwind and escape from work during the flight. They’re glad to know they can’t use their phones. Jiovauna Araiza

No. There’s too much noise on planes already. Maybe for emergencies only. But no thanks otherwise. Holly Bui

OUR READERS WRITE

Teen crash incident brings out more than one disturbing issue

n Todd: “Maybe it’s time you parents actually teach your over entitled, spoiled children how to drive a vehicle, before just buying them one of their choice. Gotta love La Jollans!”

I heard about the roll over, multiple teens, SUV accident through my daughter’s friends calling each other and reaching out through social media. The word was multiple injuries, some bad. We worried because the people involved were neighbors and friends. We just hoped that there would not be a lot of bad news. I looked for more news and U-T San Diego and NBC 7/39 both posted online stores. Both allow commenting on stories, but you must be logged in through Facebook where your real name is used, no aliases. The main reason many news sources have eliminated anonymity in forums is because anonymous online discourse has gotten so insulting, disrespectful and downright hateful. I realized while reading the comments that there are a lot of La Jolla “HATERS” out there. Below are some verbatim comments. Imagine what would be said if it was anonymous: n Marlene: “Next time this same situation occurs in any area of San Diego, we better not hear of anyone being cited ... what’s good for La Jolla teens is good for everyone else ... just saying let’s stop favoring and pampering those with money and penalizing those who have less $” n Jeremy: “Being from La Jolla has its advantages.” n Sunshine: “Law should be equal all the way across — La Jolla or not!” n Erin: “The point is that if this happened in San Carlos now, someone in that wreck would have been cited.” n Ken: “So when do the ‘rules’ apply to the rich folks who live in La Jolla?”

Those of us who live here know that there is much more economic and social diversity here in La Jolla than the perception of those who do not know us very well. Yes, we are fortunate to live here, but the implication that we are all in some kind of rich privileged bubble is absurd. Some really believe because we live in La Jolla that we are above the law and tragedy. As this story unfolds, as the lawsuits get filed and the injured heal, we have a front-row seat to the damage done to people we know. We’ll be hearing others gloat or degrade this collective tragedy. It is sad. John Dowd La Jolla

Just do it, La Jollans! Our La Jolla environment is being negatively affected by the presence of sea lions and harbor seals — dangerously polluted water and almost unbearable smelling and unhealthy air leading to a loss of tourism. Suggestions to drive the sea lions away by negatively affecting their environment have included projected sound, fence removal and adding plants. But why stop there? Why not just get some dogs down there and scare them the heck away but not hurt them, and then take the mammal-hugging environmental penalty hit? If they migrate to another La Jolla beach, do the same. While we wish, wring our hands, hold our

nose, plead and plan committee meetings, the problem just gets worse. Geez Louise. Pete Ward La Jolla

La Jolla residents are a caring lot

This is the time of year to give thanks for many reasons and to many people. I am an older woman who drives around La Jolla in her handicapped scooter, and I want to give my thanks to a great many people whom I don’t know, but who have been so very kind to me. I wish I knew you all — the young man who jumped out of his car to retrieve a plastic grocery bag I dropped that broke open; the school boy who pushed the traffic signal for me; The Bishop’s School girls who got me out of a deep groove on one of La Jolla’s badly-cracked sidewalks; the many who’ve pushed a letter into the mailbox for me; but mostly, I want to thank the many young mothers whose children give me their charming smiles as we connect — each of us in our own vehicle. Add to the list: Employees of the many stores who make shopping in La Jolla possible as well as pleasant. I shall lift a glass to each of you. Dorothy Bearman La Jolla

OUR READERS WRITE (Continued)

Parade name isn’t about being PC, it’s about showing respect

is important for our community, but to say that our tradition should be to call it the Christmas Parade because it always has been that way is a fallacy. In a democratic society, we should strive to serve the entire citizenry, not just its most powerful majority. Ulysse Carion La Jolla

This year, doctors, teachers, firefighters, our military troops and countless other people devoted to improving our lives will join us in enjoying the La Jolla Christmas Parade on Dec. 8. Many of these fellow La Jollans are non-Christians, agnostics and atheists. Perhaps the least we could do is give the parade a name that reflects the broad range of religious beliefs of our altruistic public servants? Or do we not want the citizens who spend their lives in the service of the people to feel welcome at community events? I agree with those who claim that tradition

Time for municipalities to change water policies The recent watermain break in La Jolla, “Repeat water line breaks on La Jolla streets raise concerns about infrastructure” (Nov. 12, La Jolla Light) is a red flag that our current water management systems need to be overhauled. If we don’t make changes, like including more competition in how the area’s water systems are managed, taxpayers and ratepayers will end up paying exorbitant utility bills and huge liabilities in the future. A recent study conducted by the National Taxpayers Union found that nearly a half-trillion dollars in government expenditures could be saved over the next four decades if processes like the adoption of open procurement for pipe materials and better asset management are incorporated. These are among the proposals supported by the Mayor’s Water Council of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. It’s time that our leaders become more proactive in supporting fiscally responsible approaches to water policy, both here and across the United States. Pete Sepp National Taxpayers Union, Alexandria, Va

A thought on the La Jolla Christmas vs. Holiday parade Yes, things change, but if I grew up in an area that had a tradition of a particular event, then others moved to my town and wanted to change that traditional event, would I be happy about it? Would you?

La Jolla has a long tradition of having a Christmas Parade and even though it represents a particular religion, it should be allowed to continue and to be enjoyed and visited by all of the people who are interested. No one makes anyone participate who does not want to, so if it offends someone, they do not have to attend. Barry Levine La Jolla

What’s in a name? Quite a lot. As far back as December 2004, as reflected in the article, “Thousands expected for holiday parade,” the La Jolla Light has referred to the name of our December

community event as a “holiday parade.” Readers, please ask yourselves why the Chula Vista, Encinitas, Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach parades are now “holiday parades” when they were formerly “Christmas parades.” Why did the City of San Diego change the name of its two-day event in Balboa Park from “Christmas on the Prado” to “December Nights,” and since its inception in 1978, the Holiday Bowl has welcomed everyone. Would the “Christmas Bowl” have been a more encompassing name choice? And, of course, the “La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival.” Which one of the above named events lacks diversity and inclusiveness? Howard Singer La Jolla

Melvin Male, incredibly loving and devoted husband of Diane Parker Male, passed away on 27 October 2013 following a brief illness. Mel was born in Tonawanda, New York, on 12 May 1932. Majoring in Geology, Mel received his BA from the University of Buffalo in June 1954. Shortly afterwards, he became a Field Geologist with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, later serving with the U. S. Air Force as an Officer. Mel moved to the west coast to work for General Dynamics, Convair Division, for 35 years, while also pursuing a Real Estate Brokership and later opening a computer consulting business. Mel, a lifelong scholar and multi-talented person, was gifted in science, philosophy, genealogy, history, writing, music and art. He also participated in sports and ran marathons.

Patricia Alksne 1933 – 2013

Patti Alksne, owner of The Second Act and “The RagQueen of Girard”. Patti Alksne, 80, left us on November 6, 2013, after a heroic two-year battle with a variety of health challenges; she died from complications related to her pulmonary hypertension. Patti was a mother, grandmother and businesswoman who made a real impact on each community she joined. Born during the Depression to a large Norwegian family, Patti

was raised in Eastern Washington where her family ran a general store. She married John Alksne in 1954, graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in English in 1955, and taught high school English while John completed medical school. They went on to have four children: Milton, Cynthia, Ward and Lorna. Although her marriage ended in divorce, she and John remained good friends and he was instrumental as Patti confronted the health challenges she faced over the last two years. Patti’s love of politics was a driving force in her life. In the 1960s, the Alksne family lived in Richmond, Virginia. Patti helped organize and open the first integrated swimming pool in Richmond, a radical and life-changing concept during that era. She taught the first integrated Head Start class in the Richmond area, with Ward and Lorna as two of her students. She was extremely proud of her time volunteering for Robert Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign, and her commitment to civil rights and public service that she successfully passed along to her children. After the family moved to La Jolla, Patti became a charter member of the City Club of San Diego, regularly hosting City Club events in her home. Patti opened the Second Act in 1982, a resale shop that sells “gently

experienced” upscale clothing to discriminating La Jolla shoppers. She sold so many T-shirts and jeans that she gleefully proclaimed herself, “The Rag Queen of Girard.” Typically, Patti used her shop to help others; clothes that were not purchased were eventually donated to the Friends of the International Center at UCSD. No description of Patti would be complete without mentioning her sparkling blue eyes and highlighting her passion for music, the arts and travel. Her great joy was to discover a young artist. She promoted and mentored many, helping them book events to play, letting them practice on her beloved Steinway, feeding them, even giving them a place to sleep as they made their way in the music world. When her children were young, Patti was on the Board and a docent at the San Diego Museum of Art. She loved leading tours of school children through the gallery, helping them to discover the beauty and symbolism in great works of art. For the last 30 years, she focused on travelling and exploring the world of modern art. Combining all her passions, she established her own Music Festival, placing it each year in a location she found compelling. From Bilbao to Prague to McCall, Idaho festival attendees flocked to the fascinating world of Patti Alksne. In her travels

she became a collector of a wide variety of things, and she had a knack for finding the unusual – vintage clothing, eye-cups, painted eggs, and Beidermeir furniture. Patti was many things: a professional business owner, a music lover, an anonymous philanthropist, a political activist and a community leader - but most of all she was a devoted mother and grandmother. She was crushed by the death of her son, Ward, in 2012, and is survived by three loving children and their spouses, Milton and Pam, Cynthia and Steve, Lorna and Chris, and her “adopted” daughter, Maria. Patti’s ten grandchildren were the light of her life - she took each one of them on a “Grandma trip” so they could begin to appreciate the wider-world. In summers, she treated them all to “Camp Grandma Patti.” Patti is also survived by her brother, Holly Rosvold; and sisters, Lorraine Lau and Carol Malcolm. A celebration of Patti’s life will be held at the family home on December 7, 2013, at 3:00 pm. As Patti’s favorite color was blue, attendees of the memorial are invited to wear blue in her honor. In lieu of flowers, please consider sending donations to Hospice By The Sea or Friends of the International Center at UCSD.

FOOTBALL: La Jolla High School Vikings 63, Mater Dei Catholic High School Crusaders 21

La Jolla High trounces Mater Dei to win CIF playoff game By Ed Piper La Jolla High Vikings feasted on visiting Mater Dei Catholic High, 63-21, to win its CIF Division IV quarterfinal football game Nov. 22. The Vikings gained the right to travel to Monte Vista High on Friday, Nov. 29 to play the topseeded Monarchs in the semifinals. The Vikings’ previous home playoff game was a 38-32 win over Palo Verde on Nov. 20, 2009. Viking middle linebacker Anthony Stanley preferred the image of a boa constrictor tightening its grip, as La Jolla equaled its highest point total in a game this season, and enjoyed the second largest winning margin — 42 points. Vikings defenders mauled Mater Dei Crusader quarterback Marco Morales, sacking him seven times, including four by guard Justin Cook, just named to the AllWestern League First Team for his sparkling performance this season.

But in early going, it wasn’t clear what the outcome would be. The visitors, Mater Dei (4-8) from Chula Vista, though not taking the field to warm up until an unusually late 35 minutes before kickoff, scored in the first 31 seconds on a 71-yard passing strike from Morales to Evan Davis. La Jolla (now 5-6) committed multiple penalties, came up short on fourth-and-three on a Carlton O’Neal run on a fake punt on its first possession and had an interception on its second. The Vikings then failed to complete a pass off of another fake punt on its fifth possession, subsequently trailing 14-7 after an Iman Chatman-Dixon reception with 9:19 left in the second quarter. But Stanley sacked Morales on third-and-12 from the 17, forcing Mater Dei to try a 43-yard field goal, which fell short. Then the Vikings put in 28 points during a blizzard

of scoring through the first 3:13 of the third quarter, to lead 35-14 and never be threatened again. Stanley described his sack: “I read what they were doing. They were blocking the other guy. I blitzed.” Eric Tims exhibited moves he hasn’t even shown before, racking up a whopping 236 yards rushing on 24 carries. He tallied three touchdowns. Asked humorously if he was drinking something different, Tims responded in complete seriousness, “Power shakes. This is the first time I’ve drunk a power shake on the day of a game. I don’t feel tired or empty.” Quarterback Collin Rugg employed previously unseen agility in shedding a tackler and scampering for a nine-yard pick-up on secondand-10 beginning the third quarter, before Reid Martin took the ball the remaining three yards on the following play to go up 3514. When asked if an alien had

taken over his body, Rugg flashed a smile: “I’m not sure if it was me (doing the running).” He said incredulously after the game, “I ended the game with positive rushing yardage. (Amazing.)” The other running demon was junior back Martin. He tore up 105 yards on 16 carries, scoring another three touchdowns. “It was nice to get some big runs in the first quarter and wear them out. Then we could relax later (with the big lead),” he said. Nic Skala, playing both ways, grabbed Rugg pass for a 5-yard touchdown play with 27 seconds left in the first half and made a nifty interception off Morales and ran it back 50 yards in the third quarter. Skala was asked which was more fun: “Defense. I read the quarterback. It was real obvious. He doesn’t look his receivers off.” Besides new red jerseys, the coaches surprised the players when

they went back into the locker room for a pep talk just before the game — La Jolla also hosted the SDSU dancers for the first half and exhibited a new “LJ” in big letters emblazoned at midfield for this historic home playoff game. — Ed Piper can be reached at lalopiper@san.rr.com n GAME STATS – Offense: Passing – Rugg 16-30, 89 yards, 2 TDs, 1 interception.

WATER POLO: The Bishop’s School Knights 9, La Jolla High School Vikings 6

Bishop’s water polo downs La Jolla in CIF semifinals By Ed Piper By the time the long line of ticket-buying fans waiting outside La Jolla’s Coggan pool got into the CIF Division III boys water polo semifinal match Nov. 20 and took a seat, The Bishop’s School Knights had already built up what turned out to be an insurmountable 5-1 lead over rival La Jolla High Vikings and the game was already basically decided. The Knights went on to win, 9-6. Zack La Grange poured in two goals, with Tommy Higginson, Richard Daly and Evan Elig one apiece, to build the early padding. La Jolla never got closer than 8-6 the rest of the game. Bishop’s (21-9 overall, 3-3 in the Western League) dropped their CIF final to top-seed Cathedral Catholic Nov. 23, 8-5, with Higginson scoring two goals. Bishop’s had been seeded second, La Jolla third in the playoffs. Said Daly, a senior who scored a goal in the second, third, and fourth quarters, in the win over La Jolla: “We played great defense all around, only letting six goals for them. That’s pretty good for us. We field-blocked the ball real well in front of Andrew (Chun, goalie).

La Jolla High’s Isiah Porter (10) takes aim on the goal against James Maysent (8) of Bishop’s. Porter wasn’t able to score on the play as the Vikings fell 9-6. Ed Piper He played a great game. We didn’t make too many mistakes.” Chun, a sophomore, registered 14 saves as Bishop’s took two of the three meetings between the two teams this season. The Vikings (19-12 overall, 3-3 in the Western League) made a furious attempt to claw their way back from the early deficit, but they were unable to score even during two penalty situations late

in the game playing with a oneman advantage. Bishop’s senior James Maysent, who had an assist, said: “It felt really good, especially for our seniors. We played strong really early, then our goalie played a great game.” The schools’ respective student cheering sections, sitting next to and intertwined with the fans of the opposing school, carried on a steady beat of chants, cheers and

barbs directed to the other side, many of the students from the two schools knowing one another. A rhythmic “I believe that we will win” was first struck up by Viking supporters in the second quarter, then returned by Knight fans a short time later. Some La Jolla students held up a sign reading “Knight Time,” meaning “It’s late, we’re going to put you to sleep with a loss,” while a Bishop’s student’s shirt reading “Knight Time” obviously carried a quite different meaning — “It’s our time.” Bishop’s coach Jim Fales commented, “I think the early lead ended up being crucial. We scored seven goals in the first half. La Jolla came in pretty emotional, (possibly working against them).” What was the difference from Bishop’s 10-9 loss at home to the Vikings in their last encounter? “That was early in the season. We were able to work our scouting report and game plan (in this game),” Fales said. Cole Martinez, a La Jolla senior and veteran of many battles between these crosstown rivals, said of the Vikings’ approach to trying to overcome the lead in the second half, “We just worked as a

team and tried to score each goal working as a team.” Daly’s goal with 43 seconds left in the third quarter to go up 8-4 came off a pass that he didn’t catch. He just redirected it with a tap straight in past junior goalie Matt Allen. In the fourth quarter, Daly was called for his second personal foul at 5:51, putting him out of the pool for two minutes on the penalty. La Jolla coach Tom Atwell called a timeout, but coming out of the timeout the Vikings were unable to take advantage of the 6-on-5 advantage to score. Allen made a nice save with 5:20 left, reciprocated by Chun at the other end 28 seconds later. Atwell summed the game up: “We spotted them four goals, and it’s hard to recover from that against a good team.” — Ed Piper can be reached at lalopiper@san.rr.com n GAME STATS – GoalS: Bishop’s: Daly 3, Higginson 2, Elig 2, LaGrange 2.

From Rowing Club Reports

Two women’s varsity athletes from San Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) competed in the October Women’s Youth Doubles at the Head of the Charles Regatta (HOCR) in Boston, winning a Silver Medal. The Women’s Youth Double consisted of Marissa Gibson, a senior at La Jolla High School, and Alexandra (Lexie) Tatra, a senior at Torrey Pines High School. The HOCR, held annually, is the world’s largest rowing regatta with about 55 races and 9,000 athletes. The course stretches for three miles along the Charles River and attracts an estimated 300,000 spectators. HOCR is a “head race” (a time-trial competition), where rowers race to complete the course in the shortest time for their event. Rowers start times are staggered as they are racing against the clock rather than directly against each other. Gibson and Tatro beat the times of 29 other boats in the highly competitive event to win the silver medal. The girls are part of the rowing club’s women’s varsity team, coached by two-time Gold Medal Olympian Susan Francia, who competed in the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Games.

Love

Natasha Josefowitz with her late husband, Herman Gadon Courtesy

Poems help heal author and others after loss of a spouse By Linda Hutchison When you’ve spent your life helping others, how do you help yourself when life delivers one of its worst blows, the death of a long-term, beloved spouse? If you’re La Jolla author, business consultant and social worker Dr. Natasha Josefowitz, you write a book that is very different from your previous 19. “This is my first sad book,” Josefowitz said. “I had no choice but to write it.” After her husband of 35 years, Dr. Herman Gaden, died four years ago, Josefowitz turned to writing poetry to express her intense feelings of grief. An active 87-year-old, she is often out in the world, but said that after the death of her husband, she felt alienated despite her best in‘Living Without the One tentions to put on You Cannot Live Without: a smiling face Hope and Healing after wherever she went. Loss’ by Natasha Josefowitz “So I came home and wrote, with no thought to anyone else,” she said. “I had no idea how it would help me with my journey.” The result is a collection of almost 100 poems, “Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without: Hope and Healing after Loss.” The books is available online through Amazon.com and locally at Warwick’s. It is receiving positive responses from reviewers and those who counsel grieving people, including mental health professionals, ministers and rabbis. See POEMS, B3

Poems for healing

La Jolla Cultural Partners

For Josefowitz, her 20th book is a departure from her usual subject matter. She has written many humorous books of poetry for different groups of people (family, friends, lovers) at different stages of life (mid-life, retirement, aging). A wellknown business consultant and social worker, she has also written several books for women in management, including “How to Be An Effective Leader,” “You’re the Boss,” “Paths to Power,” and “16 Ways for Women to Succeed at Work.” Josefowitz describes herself as a late bloomer. Born in Paris, France to Russian Jewish parents, she came through Ellis Island in 1939 with them and grew up in Beverly Hills, where she’s in the Beverly Hills High School Hall of Fame. She earned her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Scripps College in Claremont, Calif., married and had two children. Not until she was 40 did she go back to college

■ La Jolla author and social psychologist Natasha Josefowitz wrote ‘Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without’ after losing her husband of 35 years, Dr. Herman Gadon. Among the poems appearing in the book are the following:

Lost in the Periphery

After my husband died I was no longer the center of anyone’s life nor is anyone the center of mine family and friends are supportive and comforting but they are peripheral as I am peripheral in their lives they can continue without me as I am supposed to continue without him without the one person I cannot live without (Columbia) to earn a master’s degree in clinical social work and then a

Two Dreams

Two childhood dreams: becoming a famous poet and falling madly in love I became a poet and married that love and now that he is dead what is left are the poems they will have to do

doctorate in social psychology at the age of 50, while living in Switzerland.

It was there she met, began working with and eventually married Swiss-

born Dr. Herman Gadon. Together they taught classes in business management, moving to New Hampshire, where Josefowitz taught the first class for women in management in the United States. They continued teaching after moving to La Jolla, with Gadon at UC San Diego and Josefowitz at San Diego State University. A speaker and business consultant, Josefowitz has appeared on TV shows, including “Larry King Live” and “All Things Considered,” and hosted her own radio show. Today she writes columns for local publications. Although she wrote her latest book to help herself, she is delighted that it is helping others. “I like to make a difference,” she said. She is also using her social psychology skills to do research into how people grieve after the loss of a spouse. After interviewing 24 survivors, ages 60-90, she says she learned that people go through several steps to healing: First, there is the pre-grief of the caretaker;

second is shock and numbness when a partner dies; third is disbelief, “this can’t be real”; fourth comes when reality sets in and there is a feeling of alienation, of walking around like “half a couple”; finally, there is becoming a whole person, re-inventing oneself, with being alone the “new normal.” Not surprisingly, she sees a difference in how men and women cope with the loss of a spouse. Men don’t like to talk about it and will tell friends who have lost a wife, “don’t dwell on it.” “Men have a 6 percent higher suicide rate, they’ve lost a caregiver, but within a year they are usually hooked up with a casserole,” Josefowitz said. Speaking of food, men alone usually eat take-out with their hands standing up at the kitchen sink. Women, on the other hand, like to talk through grief and will go over and sit with a friend who has lost a husband. “And women will sit at a table and eat, even if it’s not elaborate,” Josefowitz said.

333 Pacific’s Ocean View Terrace overlooks the Oceanside Pier.

333 Pacific makes the most of its ‘oceanside’ views By Kelley Carlson t’s not difficult to find 333 Pacific. Named for its location — at 333 N. Pacific St., just across from the Oceanside Pier entrance — the restaurant is a standout in North County for its views, vodkas and viands. Part of the Cohn Restaurant Group, 333 offers fine dining that draws everyone, from couples on romantic outings to friends seeking an evening of fun. “The guest experience is our No. 1 goal,” Executive Chef Brian Hyre said. As patrons enter through the glass double doors, they find themselves in the dimly lit Vodka Lounge, which is often vibrant with activity due to the daily happy hours and specials, and upbeat music. The casually dressed guests gather around the backlit community tables (which cast a blue glow) and socialize. Some of the visitors focus on the vodka selection, and with 115 varieties, there’s always something new to try. Others take advantage of the themed specials (from Sushi Sundays to 3-Way Thursdays) featuring deals on wines, brews and spirits, often paired with hors d’oeuvres and appetizers. The lounge is open until one hour after dinner service ends. While the lounge is trendy, the dining room presents more of an upscale casual atmosphere. Candles flicker on tables draped in white cloth, and mirrors along the wall reflect the glow. Here, diners settle in for some serious meals, from the $33 three-course prime rib dinner on Primetime Sundays, to a three-course menu created specially by Hyre on Mondays and Tuesdays.

n This week’s recipe:

333 Pacific’s Togarashi Seared Ahi But it’s the intimate ocean view terrace that has the most coveted spots, and where Hyre recommends sitting. The focus is on the landscape — the waves and the surfers attempting to ride them, and the visitors strolling along the wooden pier. The windows are often open, allowing the ocean breeze to pass through. Whether patrons are in the lounge, dining room or terrace, the full menu is available to them, ranging from sizable steaks to fresh seafood. The most popular item happens to be one of the “beginnings,” the Sweet Chili Calamari, which is fried until crispy and tossed with a sweet-and-spicy sauce. People also gravitate toward raw bar and sushi offerings such as Pacific Oysters in a half shell, and the Steak & Sea Roll, a savory combination of tempura shrimp, crab salad, asparagus, avocado, filet mignon, spicy

mayo and basil mint chimichurri. Also among the seafood specialties is the spicy, thinly-sliced Togarashi Seared Ahi that’s fanned around sticky rice with miso beurre blanc swirled with hoisin-soy glaze and a side of mushrooms and bok choy. 333 also caters to meat lovers, who can select from different cuts of steaks. Hyre’s favorite is the 16-ounce New York Steak, but there are 8- and 12-ounce filets, as well. The 333 Filet Trio is a trifecta of temptations, each steak with a different topping: Peppercorn Demiglace, Blue Cheese Crust and Oscar-style (rab meat, asparagus and béarnaise sauce). The restaurant’s version of a surf-and-turf dish is the Mixed Grill for 2: twin lobster tails and a 25-ounce bone-in rib-eye to share with sides of mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans. While it’s primarily a seafood and steakhouse, 333 makes sure to include entree salads. One of the newest menu items is the Farro & Winter Fruits Salad, a colorful medley of apples, dates, green papaya, carrots, celery, fennel, candied pecans and a Maui onion vinaigrette. For a “sweet ending,” there are confections ranging from Pumpkin Cheesecake with pumpkin caramel, candied pecans and cinnamon whipped cream, to the Chocolate Goat Cheese Panna Cotta with salted caramel, pecan and graham Italian cake truffles. The lunch menu (served Friday through Sunday) focuses on sandwiches, burgers, salads and signature dishes — one of which comes with three items: Blackened Chicken, Andouille Sausage and Shrimp Mac & Cheese.

in Russia, which was important to the film’s storyline, since ballet first came to this country with the Ballets Russes. And the company’s founding director, Robin Morgan, danced with New York City Ballet under George Balanchine, the Russian-born choreographer who is considered the father of American ballet. “We were impressed with the company’s focus on technique and

innovation,” Murray said. “And we were very interested in how Max came and started a new life and career here, and how Stephanie deals with the difficulty of pursuing her passion in a time when everyone is cutting back.” It’s tough to survive as a dancer, when the performance season is only six months long.

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt “Ineffable” is a word for things that are too great, extreme or beautiful to be expressed in words. But film is another story. Producer/directors Joani Livingston and Renée McKay believe in stories that touch people’s hearts and raise their awareness. The Georgia-based, Emmy award-winning team recently spent several days in San Diego, shooting footage for their latest undertaking, “Ineffable.” A documentary about the struggle to keep the arts alive in this country, it spotlights three different ballet companies, one of which is San Diego Ballet. Why did they choose, in a film about the arts, to focus on ballet? “Because it’s a performance art, where music, dance, theater and visual art intersect,” Livingston explained. “And performance art is ephemeral. We watch for an hour or so, then poof! It’s gone. Ballet personifies beauty, wonder, strength and a whole gamut of emotions — basically, who we are as human beings. It’s transcendent;

Brief History of Ballett ■ Ballet emerged from the royal court dances of Renaissance Italy and flourished in France, where the Paris Opera Ballet was established during the reign of Louis XIV (1643-1715). ■ French became the language of ballet, as the form spread across Europe and into Russia, which established its Imperial Ballet in the mid-18th century. ■ The collaboration between choreographer Marius Petipa and composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky produced late-19th-century classics like ‘Swan Lake’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty.’ ■ After the Russian Revolution, when many artists fled to France, impresario Sergei Diaghilev started his Ballets Russes in Paris with a company of Russian émigrés. His association with composer Igor Stravinski and dancer/choreographer Vaclav Nijinsky produced daring works like ’The Rite of Spring,’ which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. ■ In the mid-20th century, another Russian émigré, George Balanchine, became founding director of the New York City Ballet and its ballet school. He choreographed some 400 diverse pieces, transforming American ballet. ■ Today, there are about 100 ballet companies in the United States, including three in San Diego.

TRUE OR FALSE?

The Mayflower didn’t land in Plymouth first. True. The Mayflower first landed at the tip of Cape Cod, in what is now Provincetown. The settlers had originally hoped to make for the mouth of the Hudson River and find fertile farmland somewhere north of present-day New York City, but bad weather forced them to retreat. They intended to try again for the Hudson, but the approaching winter and dwindling supplies eventually convinced them to continue on across Cape Cod Bay to Plymouth. — history.com

Science artist will discuss Hawaii’s ‘Galaxy Garden’ at UCSD Jon Lomberg will present a public workshop about the Galaxy Garden, an outdoor garden that is a scale model of the Milky Way Galaxy, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7 at UC San Diego’s Price Center East Ballroom. The workshop is free and open to the public. The Galaxy Garden, located in Kona, Hawaii, maps stellar objects such as stars, nebulae and globular clusters to scale, using representative

plant species. The vastness of the galaxy is hard to envision; a large garden provides a way to literally explore Earth’s place in the galaxy. Lomberg conceived and designed the garden, which is inspired by his famous mural (“Portrait of the Milky Way”) that was displayed at the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. This one-day workshop will explain the concept of the garden, outline

how it is used to encourage science education and demonstrate hands-on teaching activities that can be done indoors or outdoors using large-scale, explorable model galaxies. The idea of building such a garden in the San Diego region will be explored. The workshop is open to the public with a voluntary $10 donation suggested. Lunch, afternoon coffee and snacks will be provided as well as all materials. For information and

to register, visit imagination.ucsd. edu/galaxygarden Note: An additional free, public talk by Lomberg titled, “Becoming Galactic: Citizens of the Galaxy,” will be held 5:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3 at Atkinson Hall on campus. Lomberg is one of the foremost artists inspired by astronomy. He had a 25-year partnership with Carl Sagan and was chief artist for the original TV series, “COSMOS.”

Mixed Mushrooms and Wine Sauce

How to trim holiday fat from your dinner table

’T

is the season for stuffing your face silly from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, punctuated by some fattening pit stops (Chanukah, Kwanza, Christmas and various holiday cocktail parties). Studies in the New England Journal of Medicine suggest that although the average holiday weight gain is only one pound, it is not reversed during the spring and summer months, accounting for the increase in body weight during adulthood. Let’s leave the belly fat to Santa, and make this one a healthier, slimmer season, excluding high-calorie, artery-clogging celebratory monsters from the table.

Naughty noshes Traditional cocktail nibbles, mostly deepfried and accompanied by syrupy or creamy dipping sauces, are packed with trans fats, butters, heavy creams, sugars, hidden carbs, additives and GMOs. Steer clear of quintessential party hors d’oeuvres from Swedish meatballs and fried zucchini sticks to pigs in a blanket and egg rolls. Swap these out for turkey meatballs in marinara sauce, rice paper-wrapped spring rolls, vegetable crudités with assorted hummus and mint yogurt dips, grilled

skewers of shrimp, chicken or veggies, and steamed gems like a variety of dim sum.

Pork in the road Even though certain cuts of pork (like the loin) have been touted as leaner than chicken breast, for the most part holiday tables are dressed with unctuous and fatty spiral hams, bacon and pancetta. Many cuts are also loaded with sodium, carcinogenic nitrates, hormones and antibiotics. When there’s a pork in the road, choose grass-fed, immune-boosting lamb, or hearthealthy mineral-rich sea treasures, including wild-caught salmon and shrimp, Dungeness crab, deep-sea scallops and caviar.

n Ingredients: • 1/2 small red onion, minced • 1 pound, assorted mushrooms (oyster, crimini, shiitake, your choice) • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1/2 cup vegetable broth • 1/4 cup red wine • 5 tablespoons olive oil • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 1 /4 teaspoon each of turmeric, paprika and thyme • 1 tablespoon dried parsley • 1 teaspoon dried basil • Dash of ginger, cayenne and sage n Method: In a medium saucepan, heat oil on low and sauté onion, garlic and mushrooms for 2 minutes. Add Worcestershire, herbs and spices, broth and wine. Cover and simmer till mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Puree in blender and refrigerate. Heat before serving.

The dark side As domesticated turkeys are flightless, they give their thigh and leg muscles a good workout pumping them with myoglobin proteins, making the flesh darker and fatter, translating to more calories. But the skin’s the thing snagging first prize in the fat contest (3.5 ounces contain 44 grams of fat compared to the skinless breast with only 4 grams of fat). Ditch the skin, and substitute white meat for dark. If you’re game to try a more pungent fowl, go for Rock Cornish hen or quail, as

wild duck and goose are rich and greasy (and more fattening, too).

Carb control Put creamy green bean casserole with fried onion strings on the sidelines, along with candied yams and fatty sausage stuffings. Yams are sweet enough going solo, while string beans are divine steamed and drizzled with sassy lemon vinaigrette. Be an intrepid chef, experiment with healthier versions of stuffings using multi-

grain breads, cholesterol-busting oatmeal, shredded root vegetables, wild or B-complex rich brown rice with dried cranberries and toasted pecans, or aromatic quinoa for an exotic change-up. Slim down mashed potatoes blending in Greek yoghurt or goat cheese instead of the bazillion calories from butter and cream, while mushroom gravy trumps traditional fatty giblet. — For more holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

He’s a Mean One!

Whoville braces for another visit from The Grinch By Diana Saenger Based on the classic tale by Theodor Geisel, the 16th annual Old Globe production of “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” continues to solicit smiles for its silly costumes, as well as audiences singing along to “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Santa for a Day.” This whimsical musical is once again delighting children and families, onstage through Dec. 28 in Balboa Park. Of course, some kids can’t wait to see if the Grinch really scares them. Steve Blanchard is honing up for his third season as The Grinch. Steve Gunderson returns as Old Max, marking his 11th appearance, and two young actresses from La Jolla are ready for their roles in this year’s show. Gabi Leibowitz returns for her third year, this time in a new role as Teen Who. The 15-year-old said she loves “The Grinch,” and is excited to be back. “All the people associated with the show are amazing,” she said. “Director James Vásquez is so talented and also an actor. He filled in one day for Grandpa Who, and he did the entire track without any rehearsal. From the cast to the crew, everyone is really talented and helpful with the new kids.” Leibowitz said she wanted to be a performer since she saw “Oliver” at age 4 and started her career performing in dance, musical theater and film. She recently had a role in musicals at LEGOLAND

Leibowitz studies ballet, jazz and tap, and has won many accolades, including being named a National Youth Theatre Award nominee. Hourie Klijian has been coming to see “The Grinch” since before she was born. Now the 10-year-old actually has her first role in this year’s production in the Little Who

Ensemble. She said she began performing at age 7, in “Annie.” Klijian has appeared in “The Sound of Music” (San Diego Musical Theatre), “Christmas on my Mind” (Lamb’s Players Theatre), “Fiddler on the Roof” and “The Wizard of Oz” (Moonlight Stage Productions). She does solo, vocal performances at local venues and sings in her church choir. “I love performing, and I love

‘The Grinch,’ ” Klijian said. “I’m in the pink cast, and the rehearsals are so fun. We dance and sing, and work on our scenes. It’s amazing. The adults work very hard and always help us. My favorite part of the show is when the Grinch and Max sing “One of a Kind.” What little free time Klijian has, she spends watching classic musicals, such as “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “Annie Get Your Gun.” Both girls are keeping up with

They each have advice for kids who think about performing on stage. “It’s very fun and you meet nice people,” Klijian said. “But you have to work very hard.” Leibowitz added, “To go for it, you have to believe in yourself, and enjoy it. Everything is a steppingstone, but go out and audition, and take dance and singing classes. For a lot of the casting calls I go to, they like the kids who have spirit and are themselves.” “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” continues to capture hearts, and the wintery snow displays and decorations at the Globe are delightful. “It’s a happy Christmas Show and everyone likes it,” Klijian said.

Choose environmentally responsible charities and donate funds to their efforts in the name of people who do not need another package of pajamas. n Use decomposable shipping peanuts. Shipping peanuts are environmentally friendly packing products that are made from cornstarch. When they come in contact with water, they dissolve — making for easy clean-up and less trash. n Donate unused gifts. Nearly everyone gets an unwanted gift come the holiday season. Instead of putting items in the trash or taking them back to the store, donate gifts you’ll never use to a charity or a thrift shop. n Wrap gifts with wrapping paper alternatives. Wrapping paper is a luxury item and one that tends to be wasteful. There are many items around the house that can be recycled into decorative giftwrap. Sew scraps of fabric together for a patchwork bag or use glossy photos from a magazine to papier-mache a box. When you think creatively, you’re bound to come up with some very usable and eco-friendly ideas. Although many people tend to go overboard for the holidays, getting into the holiday spirit does not have to be unfriendly to the environment.

Thank you

for submitting to me the families who were in need during Thanksgiving. Because of you, I was able to reach out and help families who are having a difficult time. They will receive a full Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There is no better feeling than helping people who truly need it. They thank you for helping... I thank you for caring.

Happy Thanksgiving!

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

Tips for planning ahead to make entertaining easy

ne of the best parts about holiday entertaining is spending quality time with friends and family. If you’re rushing around trying to cook and prepare everything, your food may taste great, but you’re missing out on a key element of the season — togetherness. But the quality of your food doesn’t need to suffer for great conversation, say cooking experts. Plan to be relaxed and ready when your company arrives. “With a little advanced thought, you can have it all at your holiday gathering — both a delicious, hearty meal, and quality time with your friends and family,” said Christy Jordan, author of the new cookbook‚ ”Come Home to Supper,” a collection of budget-conscious, kidfriendly recipes designed for busy families. Jordan is offering this checklist for a more fulfilling holiday entertaining season:

Two to three days in advance n Shop for groceries and make dessert. n “If I know I am going to have company, I like to make my dessert a few days ahead of time so when it’s time for dessert, I know all I have to do is cut and serve!” n Refrigerator cakes are wonderful for holiday entertaining, because they can be made in advance and actually get better as the days go by. Some cakes also taste great cold.

Casseroles are easy entrees if assembled ahead of time and placed covered in the refrigerator to be baked just before supper. Ben Fink

One to two days in advance n Assemble the main course. n Many entrees can be made ahead of time, such as chilly weather soups and stews. Casseroles do very well if assembled ahead of time and then placed covered in the fridge to be baked just before supper. n Consider doubling your recipe and freezing half for

later use. Since the season is a busy time of year, having extra meals ready can save you a mid-week headache.

The big day n Set the table, make the bread, pop the entree on the stove or in the oven. Enjoy! — More cooking and holiday-entertaining tips at SouthernPlate.com

Two noted authors coming soon to La Jolla By Ashley Mackin Two distinguished authors, each with an adapted-to-film novel to their names, will showcase their newest projects at book-signing events in La Jolla.

Amy Tan

‘The Joy Luck Club’ author Amy Tan will speak about her latest book, ‘The Valley of Amazement,’ Dec. 9 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla. Courtesy Photos

Amy Tan, author of “The Joy Luck Club” will discuss her new book, “The Valley of Amazement,” 7:30 p.m. Dec. 9, at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St., La Jolla. Proceeds from this event will benefit Words Alive, a reading advocacy organization. Tickets are $35 and include a copy of the book. Published Nov. 5, “The Valley of Amazement” is Tan’s first novel in eight years. It focuses on Violet Minturn, a half-Chinese, half-American girl in 1912 Shanghai, torn between her two cultures. The story also showcases Violet’s mother, who herself is torn between her American upbringing and love for a traditional Chinese man, and explores the courtesan culture; escorts or prostitutes for the wealthy and powerful. Tan has said a photo served to inspire the story. While reading about courtesans, Tan came across

I contemplated the possibility that my grandmother might have indeed been a courtesan for unknown reasons. “In my family, secrets continue to unfold and the history of our women has always been about survival, persistence and passion, so I put down the novel I had been writing and started a new one.” The stop at the Museum of

Contemporary Art is one of 25 stops she will make across the country to discuss “The Valley of Amazement.”

Fannie Flagg

Fannie Flagg, author of “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café,” will sign and discuss her latest book, “The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion,” 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at Warwick’s Books, 7812 Girard Ave. The event is free but reserved seating is available and only books purchased at Warwick’s will be signed.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale

postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 7302727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting. com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site.

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

By Cassandra Wong On a sunny October day in South Carolina, one team shined above 15 other competitors at the 2013 USTA Junior Team Tennis 14 & Under Advanced National Championships. In its first trip to the Nationals, Team Top Gun from San Diego (representing USTA Southern California section), earned the 14U Advanced division title, beating USTA New England, 50 games to 37, in the final on Oct. 20. Two La Jollans were among this elite team. Nicholas Appel, 14, a sophomore at The Bishop’s School, was one of the 10 players on Team Top Gun. Appel has played team tennis on Team Top Gun (14U and 12U) and Team Trouble (10U) for almost six years. The teams have won the USTA JTT Sectionals Championships 2008-2013 and the Gar Glenney Cup 2011-2013 and this year the Nationals.

Team Top Gun is Jennifer Kerr, Julia Ronney, Andy Hu, Robert Liu, Kiev Moores, Nicholas Appel, Timothy Sah, Ryan Seggerman, Nicole Mossmer and Olia Javidi. Courtesy “It’s been awesome seeing the team grow and get better every year since I joined and now get to the point where we can come to Nationals and do so well,” Appel said. Nicole Mossmer, 13, an eighth-grader at All Hallows Academy, joined Team Top Gun this year. “There is a lot of support when you play team tennis,” Mossmer said. “Sometimes you would win matches when you

normally wouldn’t because of all the support and stuff (from the team).” For more than a decade, the USTA Junior Team Tennis 14U National Championships has brought together the top teams from the 17 USTA sections for a weekend of fun. With 13,000 teams and nearly 100,000 kids playing under the Junior Team Tennis banner in the United States, it’s also a chance for kids from different regions

of the country to see how tennis is taught and played in other places. “This week featured a fun group of really enthusiastic kids,” said Adrienne Di Menna, USTA Junior Team Tennis national manager. “We crowned two brandnew national champions (advanced and intermediate), yet the biggest win was seeing how the teams interacted with one another and established friendships.”
