Mayor orders Children’s Pool Questions arise on details of seal harassment video closed after dark to May 15 By Pat Sherman Last week San Diego Mayor Bob Filner ordered the beach and seawall at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool closed at nighttime. Both will now be off limits from sunset to sunrise until May 15, the end of the seals’ pupping season. A seal camera recently installed allowing the public to view seal births remotely has captured video of people harassing the seals, said the mayor’s office (See story at right). This prompted Filner to close the beach at night for 60 days via an emergency coastal development permit (which is still being processed). The city’s Park and Recreation Department filed the
permit application. “I felt it was important to take this step after evidence of individuals seen on video tape, harassing, taunting and causing stress to the seals at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla,” Filner said in a prepared statement. At 6:45 p.m. Thursday, March 21 about two dozen people walking along the seawall and another two dozen on the sand heard the park ranger announce: “Please folks, come off the seawall. We’re going to be securing the seawall shortly and closing the beach.” Also that day, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith
By Pat Sherman Two young women were observed kicking, punching, sitting on and pulling the flippers of pregnant seals and their pups last month via the newly installed “seal cam” at Children’s Pool. It is a claim that has been repeated as fact by local and national news sources, and used as justification by Mayor Bob Filner in a permit application to close the Children’s Pool at night through pupping season. ■ To watch the video, visit The abuse assertion was www.bit.ly/sealcamvideo first made by Larry Wan, founder of the Western Alliance for Nature (WAN) Conservancy. Wan’s nonprofit purchased the camera mounted atop the old lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool, which streamed the incident. Though it is clear that harassment of seals occurs in the

How do you feel about the decision to close Children’s Pool at dusk? We asked this question at the La Jolla Children’s Pool last week. “I‘m against it. The beach should be for the people, not for the animals. We have a whole coastline here, the seals could go any place they want, places locals and children cannot go. This pool was created for the children; it should be for the children.” — Nancy Frank
FROM Beach Closed, A1 issued the following statement regarding the closure: “Although I would have preferred to have been consulted before he took this action, I agree that protecting the seals is important. As such, this office will vigorously defend the mayor’s action in this matter. “Seal opponents have notified our office that they will seek an injunction on April 12 as to this order and the mayor’s prior order to lengthen the guide rope at the beach. We will vigorously defend the city and have already defeated the plaintiff’s motion for a temporary restraining order. (bit.ly/TROdenied) “I have seen the videos of the seal abuse and I am appalled,” Goldsmith added. “Once we receive information as to the identity of these perpetrators, they will be brought to justice. I urge everyone to obey the signs on the beach closure, because this office fully intends to enforce the law.” California Coastal Commission (CCC) staff analyst Kanani Brown told the Light the CCC is aware of the city’s emergency permit filing, though at press time the city had not sent the CCC an official notice of its action. “The city has the authority to issue an emergency permit in certain instances, such as this, when there’s an emergency — and in this case it’s clear that the seals are at risk,” Brown said. However, she noted, because the Children’s
“It’s good for the seals, if they need the space, let them be. But enforcing it by law seems to be ridiculous at the same time, so I guess both sides are right.” — Jamison Erwin
“It would be a good thing to have the beaches open at night and maybe just have some lights so people and things would be visible to make it safe.” — Bob Anthony
— Compiled by Ashley Mackin
“They should keep it open later than sunset, at least keep it open until midnight, so people could observe the (seals’) nightlife.” — Ashley Wilson
Capt. Brian Ahearn of San Diego Police’s Northern Division said he added a police officer to monitor Children’s Pool 24 hours a day, seven days per week, once video surfaced of the seals allegedly being kicked and punched. Susan DeMaggio
Pool is located entirely within a coastal zone, it is within the CCC’s jurisdiction to issue coastal development permits. “The city may issue an emergency permit, but it may not be completely effective because the sandy beach areas are within the Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction,” Brown said, noting that the CCC could contest the permit, but said it’s something the agency “will not pursue, given other priorities and limited staff, as well as the short-term duration of the permit. “And the intent of the city’s action is
resource protection,” Brown said, noting that it is clear from the video documentation that the emergency permit “may be warranted, since this is pupping season and the seals that are hauled out now include pregnant seals and seal pups.” Capt. Brian Ahearn of San Diego Police’s Northern Division said he added a police officer to monitor Children’s Pool 24 hours a day, seven days per week, once video surfaced of the seals allegedly being kicked and punched. Ahearn said the plan is to eventually

transition to using a private security company to monitor Children’s Pool. The security officers would be trained by Park and Recreation staff, in conjunction with SDPD. “We’re waiting to find out who the private security company will be and then begin training with Park and Rec,” Ahearn said. “It will be a slow transition. … We won’t carry it out beyond (the pupping season) unless anything changes.” The organization Friends of the Children’s Pool (FoCP), the beach access proponents seeking the April 12 injunction, responded to the beach closure via a release referencing San Diego Municipal Code, which states that “all emergency Coastal Development Permits shall authorize only the minimum necessary to stabilize the emergency.” The group questions why the closure is necessary when there is already a police officer stationed at Children’s Pool round-the-clock. FoCP President Ken Hunrichs said he is concerned that the city may already be resigned to close the beach permanently, albeit it in stages. “When the city attorney backs away from defending lawful land-use processes … it makes me a little bit suspicious,” Hunrichs said. “The city has had since May, 2010 to fulfill the resolution of the city council to close the beach December to May — nearly three years,” Hunrichs added, via e-mail. “Why have they not worked towards closing the beach through the established procedures?”

Council elects new trustees, hears historical society plans By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) held elections for board trustees during its March 14 meeting, welcoming newcomers Corrine Fleming, Joseph Pitrofsky and Glenda Rothberg. Trustees reelected to another three-year term include Michael Dershowitz, Nancy Gardner, Steve Haskins, Sonia Marie Olivas and Mary Soriano. Trustees will be seated and take the oath of office in April, at which time one additional trustee vacancy will open. Interested candidates should have attended at least three LJTC meetings in the past 12 months, be at least 16 years of age and reside or work within the 92037 zip code. Candidates should also submit a short biography via lajollatowncouncil.org stating their intentions as a trustee.

Planning Association elects new board members By Pat Sherman Eight new trustees will join the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) in April, following their election during the group’s March 7 meeting. Elected to full, three-year terms are Patrick Ahern, Helen Boyden, Gail Forbes, Bob Steck, Ray Weiss and Frances O’Neill Zimmerman (the latter whom was reelected after joining the board last year). Filling out the remainder of departing board members terms are Janie Emerson, elected to a two-year term, and Myrna Naegle, elected to a one-year term. Tim Lucas, a LJCPA trustee of five years who was serving his final day on the board, encouraged those in attendance to get involved in the community. “Run more than once if you don’t get elected the first time, but keep at it and participate,” Lucas urged. Trustee Devin Burstein, departing from the board after three years of service, thanked fellow LJCPA colleagues. “It’s really about the work that we all put into it,” he said. LJCPA officer elections will be held at the group’s April 4 meeting. Despite an earlier announcement by board president Tony Crisafi that he would be stepping down next month, Crisafi said he will stay on as president.
In other LJCPA news
n Bylaw amendments: The association approved several changes to its bylaws,
La Jolla Community Planning Association following words of reproach from LJCPA member Bob Whitney, who took exception to President Crisafi filing an “automatic appeal” on Feb. 4, which was confirmed by trustees during the Feb. 7 meeting (though it did not appear on that month’s agenda). Crisafi appealed the city’s environmental determination on the proposed Bernate Ticino residence on Virginia Way (site of Irving Gill’s Windemere Cottage, which was torn down in December 2011 via an emergency demolition permit). The city requested that the LJCPA’s appeal be placed on the March agenda. Trustees voted again to ratify the appeal, 11-0-3. One of the bylaw amendments — which were approved during the meeting by a vote of 36-5-2, but are pending city approval — involved the process by which the LJCPA may appeal an environmental decision issued by the city. Crux of the amendment: Should the city issue a determination that a project is
exempt from environmental guidelines — as its development services department did when finding the Bernate Ticino project was exempt from CEQA (state environmental) guidelines — and the period in which to appeal that determination expires before the next scheduled LJCPA meeting, “the (board) president is authorized to file an appeal based on the president’s judgment after review of the project files and any joint community board hearings. “Once filed,” the amendment states, “the president shall immediately distribute a copy of the appeal to the trustees. An appeal filed in such a manner is required to be brought to the trustees for confirmation.” Whitney noted that the LJCPA approved similar changes to its bylaws a year ago, which failed to garner city approval. A letter to the LJCPA from the city attorney’s office dated April 2012 (provided by Whitney) states, in part, “If you want to use this process, you need to define specifically what an ‘adverse decision’ is. Otherwise, none of the rest of these procedures works: the notice to the applicant, the ability of the president to file an appeal without a vote of the trustees.” Vice-chair Joe LaCava later told the La Jolla Light, via e-mail, that last year the city merely requested “refinements for clarity and consistency.” “The city had no objection to the core principals of last year’s bylaw amendments,”
he said. Whitney suggested that in instances where the deadline to appeal expires before the next publically noticed LJCPA meeting, trustees should hold a “special meeting” to vote on whether to file an appeal. Though it was suggested that there is often not enough time to gather all 18 trustees for a special meeting, Whitney countered that city policy allows community planning association presidents to request an extension of time to file an appeal from project managers. LaCava said he disagreed with Whitney’s assertion that Crisafi’s appeal on behalf of LJCPA trustees violated California’s open meeting policy, the Brown Act, and City Council policy 600-24. Whitney questioned whether the LJCPA could appeal the city’s environmental determination without first having reviewed the environmental document on the project. He also said the appeal filed by Crisafi was nearly identical to one filed Feb. 4 by the La Jolla Historical Society’s attorney. Trustee Mike Costello argued that the project had been discussed extensively at the subcommittee level prior to Crisafi’s appeal. “My concern was that we needed an attorney to help us with this issue,” Costello said. “I asked the La Jolla Historical Society if

until further notice. The applicant pulled the project from the agenda, Crisafi noted. Issues with the number of hotel rooms permited in the Village and the project’s height have been a concern.
they could help us and their attorney graciously sent us a copy of their appeal.” n Ongoing issue with Prop D: Trustee David Little raised the specter of Proposition D again, noting that the measure overwhelmingly approved by San Diego voters in 1972 — which placed a height restriction of 30 feet on development in the coastal zone — has been interpreted by developers in a way that allows buildings to exceed the 30-foot limit. Instead of measuring the height of a proposed building from the existing grade (or ground level), for decades many developers have been measuring the height of their buildings from the “finished grade,” or one they create artificially by building up the height of the existing grade with dirt. Little referred to a 2004 memo on the subject e-mailed to trustees by Crisafi (which can be viewed at www.bit.ly/PropDmemo). The memo states, in part, that a property owner’s argument that the city can only use the method of measurement listed in Proposition D is incorrect. “Consequently,” the memo states, “you are correct to apply both height limits to the property, as well as to other similarly situated properties in the coastal height limit overlay zone.” Addressing the newly elected trustees, Little said, “Imagine the shock of the guy next door who thought he was protected under Proposition D, only to find one morning that he was in the shadow of a 37foot building. … I would really hope that you take a close look at this as you go through the year making decisions about height measurements.” n Prospect Street hotel on hold It was noted that a boutique hotel proposed for 1020 Prospect St. is on hold
n Parking changes: Trustees approved installation of two-hour parking signs on Glenwick Place and Glenwick Lane. The Traffic and Transportation (T&T) subcommittee unanimously approved the signs in January. LJCPA trustees also approved relocating two 15-minute parking spaces from Herschel Avenue (in front of the now closed La Jolla Visitor Center) to Prospect Street (in front of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s new Information Center). The switch, also unanimously approved by T&T in January, was pulled for discussion last month by LJCPA trustee Dan Courtney, who noted an increasing paucity of free parking spaces on Prospect. “We really have to take a comprehensive look at how many spots we have left,” Courtney said. “Basically, what I think we should do is urge the Merchants Association to talk to George’s (at the Cove) and see if they would give up two of their valet spots (to accommodate these 15-minute spots).” n Hillel ad hoc findings approved LJCPA trustees voted to adopt the conclusions of a LJCPA ad hoc committee that met last month to discuss a re-circulated draft environmental impact report on the Hillel Jewish Student Center near UCSD. The committee found that the retooled report was “deficient and contains major errors and omissions.” (To read more on the ad hoc committee’s findings, visit www.bit. ly/hillelreport). After some discussion about the most effective way to present the committee’s grievances to the city, trustees voted to support the findings 10-3-1.

By Ashley Mackin n the second of at least three parts in our seal series, La Jolla Light continues its exposé on the pinnipeds (fin-footed mammals) at la Jolla Children’s Pool with help from Marine biologist Monica DeAngelis of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Federal Advisory Committee. In the second installment, DeAngelis answers questions about seal mating and pregnancy, as well as the illnesses they are subject to and how they’ve acclimated to 2nd of 3 Parts humans.

SPECIAL REPORT
The Seal Deal
Light series explores the pinniped world at Children’s Pool The presence of harbor seals at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla generates a lot of interest ... and a lot of controversy. Visitors and residents alike have questions about the seals,
and much misinformation abounds. In the interest of setting the record straight, La Jolla Light reached out to a seal expert for all the information we could gather about them.
Mating and Pregnancy n A seal will return to the site where it was born to give birth. Therefore, DeAngelis said the seals born at Children’s Pool would likely return there to give birth, making them more residents than visitors. n Because mating happens in water, very little is known about the courting habits of harbor seals. Scientists have observed tail flapping and attention-getting attempts during mating season. n Males can only produce one pup per season. “That male could have attempted to mate with 10 different females, but the (genetic) result of that encounter was one pup with one female,” DeAngelis said, “The action may have been there, but no result.” n Additionally, females can delay the implantation of a fertilized egg to ensure they give birth during pupping season. She will carry the fertilized egg for one to three months before she is officially pregnant.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - march 28, 2013 - Page A9
FROM SEALS, A8 Taking delayed implantation into account, a seal’s pregnancy lasts 9–11 months. (One theory of why males can only reproduce with one female per year is that she may already be carrying a fertilized egg that has not been implanted.) n Seals reach sexual maturity at 4-6 years old. They often give birth on land or some land-based object. However, because newborns can swim right away, seals can give birth in water. DeAngelis said she thinks the frequency of births in water is very low. n Because a seal’s sexual organs are internal, it is impossible to tell males from the females without an upclose inspection, which DeAngelis does not recommend. A nursing mother is one clue. Illness, Seal bites n The presence of Domoic Acid, a naturally occurring neurotoxin in the ocean that bio-accumulates in seals prey, makes them susceptible to seizures. n Seals are also subject to Phocine Distemper Virus, which also affects dogs. The Distemper Virus can kill. n A seal’s most common problem is a viral and/or bacterial infection, along with parasites that attack the heart, lungs, skin, nasal cavity and blood vessels. n In the event a seal bites a
human, the bacterial infection could spread to the human. DeAngelis said as with any wild animal bite, it needs to be cleaned and treated or the victim could lose the area around where they were bit or the infection could become systemic. n Seals bite if they feel threatened or if their pup is threatened. Seals might also be more defensive if they feel sick. Seals at Children’s Pool are so acclimated to humans, they are less likely to bite, DeAngelis said. n Mortality rates are higher for newborns than for adults, who could live to age 35. Seals and Humans n Living in an international tourist center like the Children’s Pool in La Jolla exposes the seals to humans. They are similarly exposed at a haul-out site in Carpinteria in Santa Barbara. “At this point, I would call (La Jolla’s seals) urban wildlife because of the conditions they are used to living in now,” DeAngelis said. n The human interaction factor extends further when humans take pups home with them, thinking the pups are abandoned. DeAngelis said they have received reports of people keeping them in the bathtub, something she does not recommend. “(People) take a pup home and then poor mom seal comes back from her foraging trip and her pup is
gone,” she said, adding that a mother might be gone for a few hours to a few days, depending on the age of the pup. “That’s why we have guidance in place; the public can call in if they see what they think is an abandoned seal,” she said. “What we do is put a watch on it to see if it indeed had been abandoned, if it is all alone or acting strangely, losing weight or if it’s been abandoned for a few days.” Influencing Seal Behavior The seals at Children’s Pool, now quite used to humans, are not easily influenced by human behavior. At the Carpinteria haul-out site, however, there was a behavior shift where seals took to hauling-out mostly at night when there were fewer humans around. “I wouldn’t say that they were trained to change their behavior; I think it’s just a response to the threat that humans potentially posed in that area,” DeAngelis said. “They didn’t abandon the site at all, they just shifted their haul-out pattern and in different places on the beach.” Up Next: In the April 4 issue, the community of seals at Children’s Pool, specifically, will be addressed. We will look at the legality of moving them, how they’ve impacted the environment, and how their environment has impacted them.
What is a Haul-out? ■ Hauling-out is the behavior associated with pinnipeds of temporarily leaving the water between periods of foraging activity for sites on land or ice. A distinction is made between reproductive aggregations, termed “rookeries,” and nonreproductive aggregations, termed “haul-outs.” ■ Other benefits of hauling-out may include predator avoidance, thermal regulation, social activity, parasite reduction and rest. — wikipedia
SeaWorld Involvement ■ If a seal gets sick or is confirmed abandoned, volunteers and staff from SeaWorld San Diego will come to rescue them. SeaWorld is not paid by NOAA for its services. Rescue Hotline: 1 (800) 541-7325. ■ David Koontz of SeaWorld addressed the rumor that the seal population at Children’s Pool has increased because SeaWorld releases rehabilitated pups in La Jolla. “We rescue, on average, less than 10 harbor seals annually,” Koontz said. “They are released in ocean areas where others of their kind are already and there is a known food source. ■ “Harbor seals are often found foraging in the kelp beds that are a mile or two off shore. We return this species to the ocean on the west side of the kelp beds. There is not only a good food source for the harbor seals present in the kelp beds, but the kelp beds also provide a degree of protection from other predators. We don’t return harbor seals at the Children’s Pool.”

to be the best business decision. “It takes a while to vet offers,” Alvarado said, noting that it could take two months or longer to locate a suitable buyer. Alvarado said USPS has not yet located a replacement facility to lease within or near La Jolla Village, as it said it would do. “If we find any, then we will send (a list of) the sites we are looking at to (city officials).” Once a desired replacement site is located, she said, USPS
will post a 30-day notice for public comment. A 15-day appeal period will follow any decision. A sliver lining? USPS also announced March 22 that the Wall Street facility would be marketed as a potential sale/leaseback, a strategy like that promoted by the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force. Alvarado said that if USPS can “find the right buyer,” it would consider “right-sizing

in place,” or leasing back only the portion of the Wall Street building it needs to maintain its retail operations there (USPS has said the historic 1934 building is too large for its current usage). “We think that (option’s) out there,” Alvarado said. Should USPS lease a portion of the building from a buyer, Fox said the historical society would much rather see “the remainder of the facility be used for a community purpose ... than an outside developer come in and take charge of the property.” Though Fox said “conceptually” the USPS’s stated leaseback option “seems like a good thing to move forward with,” he said he didn’t have enough details to discern the intent behind that option, as worded in USPS’s release. Sources close to the Light say USPS may only be seeking a five-year lease, as well as substantial tenant improvements that would make leasing to USPS unattractive to the lessor of an alternate site or to whoever purchases the Wall Street facility. According to USPS’s asset manager, the leaseback option could actually postpone the building being listed for sale, because USPS will first need to produce a drawing delineating the portion of the building it would lease for postal services, Alvarado said. “Due to the La Jolla post

From QUESTIONS, A1 footage produced by Wan, many have questioned his claim that the grainy video actually shows the women making physical contact with the seals — let alone employing the level of violence he claims. Friends of the Children’s Pool President Ken Hunrichs is one such skeptic. “I can’t see it either,” said Hurichs, noting that while his pro-beach access organization doesn’t condone cruelty toward or harassment of any animal, members of his organization are nevertheless suspicious of the timing of the video’s release, just weeks after the mayor approved installation of the camera (ostensibly for scientific research and to monitor seal births). “We can’t prove anything … (but) the exact nature of these girls’ actions, it makes a lot of us suspicious,” Hunrichs said. “This seems so staged and over-the-top.” Larry Wan and wife, Sara, said they were alerted to the harassment by website viewers in Australia, who recorded some of the footage from the WAN Conservancy’s site via smartphone. Larry Wan, a wildlife
photographer and former mayor of Malibu, where he and his wife reside, did not respond to a request to speak with the Australian who allegedly alerted them to the abuse, once hanging up the phone when contacted by the Light. Sara Wan, who served on the California Coastal Commission for more than 10 years, and has been hailed as a staunch advocate for preserving access to public beaches, told the Light early last week that she was pleased with Mayor Filner’s decision to close the beach. Wan repeated the couple’s assertion that a woman from Australia recorded part of the footage. “I’m assuming she put her iPhone up to the screen,” she said, “(but) there are programs where you can capture what’s on your screen and record it.” Wan said the women in the live feed were recorded harassing the seals twice during the same night — once between 8 and 8:30 p.m. and again from midnight to 12:50 a.m. Wan said she and her husband were alerted to the harassment and started filming their own footage
WAN Conservancy’s web camera at Children’s Pool. during the later time period. “By that time I was watching and knew what was going on,” she said. Capt. Brian Ahearn with San Diego Police’s Northern Division, said police are investigating the video and still photos to see if they can identify the suspects or any witnesses. “We’re looking at one potential screen shot (a little closer) that might have the license plate of a vehicle,” he said. “It’s very grainy.” Asked if police have spoken with the woman in Australia who allegedly recorded the video, Ahearn said police had “attempted to contact them,” though he
was unsure whether detectives were successful. “We’re trying to evaluate even the motive,” he said. “Were these people out there purposefully trying to generate all of this tension through the Children’s Pool? We haven’t ruled that out either.” Ahearn said that though some mild harassment of seals occurs, the behavior seen in the footage — and specifically the behavior alleged to have occurred by Larry Wan (what Filner frequently refers to as the actions of “professional seal harassers”) — is an anomaly at the Children’s Pool. “The way it’s being talked about by some people (is) that this is continual, (that) there’s been a pattern of this and I just don’t have evidence to show that it’s a pattern,” Ahearn said. “This is a one-time deal, but it’s kind of become the poster child of the Children’s Pool and I just don’t think that that’s an accurate representation of the activity that’s gone on there over the years. … I’ve been involved in this on and off since 2005 and nothing even remotely close to this has occurred.”
&Marti GeLLenS
However, Ahearn said, “We’re treating it as a legitimate event until we can prove otherwise.” Who’s behind the lens? Sara Wan said the WAN Conservancy relies on a team of remote camera operators to monitor the seals and zoom in when one is giving birth or nursing a pup. Aside from her and her husband, Wan said the camera operators are all based in San Diego, with several belonging to the La Jolla Friends of Seals organization. Others are whale-watching docents or members of other environmental organizations. Operators work round the clock, in four-hour shifts, and complete a monitoring form every hour noting the number of seals on the beach, in the water and on rocks, as well as the number of people on the beach and how many people are in front of or behind the seal guideline rope. Wan said the forms are sent to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is tasked with enforcing the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
The Wans said purchase and installation of the camera cost them about $40,000. When viewing live feed of seals at the WAN Conservancy website, visitors find a banner encouraging them to donate to the cost of the camera. Before the alleged seal abuse made national headlines, Larry Wan estimated that 1,000 viewers from around the world were visiting the page per day. Asked if the donation banner would be removed from the website once the conservancy has recouped camera costs, Sara Wan said, “Why would we? We’re a legitimate nonprofit organization … and it will continue to cost money for the camera and to run the program.” Wan said she has not heard whether the mayor plans to keep the seal cam in place beyond the end of pupping season on May 15 (the only time it is currently permitted for), or whether it will be reinstalled next pupping season. However, it will have to come off the condemned lifeguard tower if the city maintains its schedule to demolish the tower and build a new one in June.

Spotlight on Local
Gain without pain awaits you at La Jolla Wellness Studio By Marti Gacioch The expression “no pain, no gain” does not apply at La Jolla Wellness Studio on Fay Avenue where new technology and nutrition are providing a painless path to fitness. Ted Barduson, who co-owns the studio with his father, Gene, said he always knew the value of working out, but hated doing it because he didn’t like to sweat. After exploring alternatives to strenuous workouts for 26 years, three doctors introduced him to a pain-free, 15-minute workout with high-intensity training and vibration technology using sound waves. Barduson’s studio shuns traditional workouts and instead uses a four-point program that begins with a 15-point body assessment. “Our In-Body machine captures the electrical pulse going through the body that determines your lean muscle mass, body fat percentage, water in cells and BMI (body mass index),” Barduson said. “It also determines how much muscle clients have in their arms, legs and trunk, and it gives them the calorie burn they have at rest and shows them the areas they need to work on.” Next, a client uses the Turbo Sonic Vertical Sound Vibration device for five minutes.
The Range of Motion Machine works the muscles and the cardio and can provide a good workout in a shorter time period. Courtesy “This machine dissolves cortisol (the stress hormone) and breaks down lactic acid, which the body gets during a workout and that makes you ache,” Barduson said. Clients also use the Range of Motion
(ROM) machine that works the muscles and the cardio. The ROM’s purpose is to provide a good workout in a shorter time period. “Our trainers look at the client’s in-body analysis and decides if the client needs to
work on building lean muscle mass or cardio; if you’re working your body correctly, you can receive a full-body workout in four minutes,” Barduson said. Clients spend six minutes lying down on their third machine: the Turbo Sonic Horizontal Sound Vibration Device that provides the same benefits as the vertical device, while also stimulating clients’ serotonin, helping them feel highly energized. Studio chef and nutrition expert Alex Fioroni helps clients balance their diets to maximize their workout benefits. Open two months, La Jolla Wellness Studio has three trainers and 40 customers. Barduson said the typical client is age 45 or older, and their testimonials are positive. He shared this one: After six weeks, a 71-yearold tennis player, who previously played one set a day, was able to play (and win) three sets in a row before shopping at Walmart and walking her dog. La Jolla Wellness Studio’s Golden Ticket special features two free workout sessions with one in-body analysis. — La Jolla Wellness Studio, 7660 Fay Ave., Suite F, La Jolla.

La Jolla Town Council poised to enter 63rd year of activity By Cindy Greatrex La Jolla Town Council President
W
ith much pride I state that the La Jolla Town Council has held its 2013 Election, announcing the results at our March meeting. Eight excellent candidates were elected, several who were returning Town Council Trustees, to complete our cabinet of 24. These new trustees will be sworn in at our April 11 meeting. Those elected for three-year terms are: Michael Dershowitz, Corinne Fleming, Nancy Gardner, Steve Haskins, Sonia Marie Olivas, Joseph Pitrofsky, Glenda Rothberg and Mary Soriano. We welcome them onto the council for their new term and look forward to their ongoing contributions to the community. As we begin a new cycle, we reflect on our historic mission and also focus on the future. The La Jolla Town Council acts as a liaison with the City of San Diego in matters concerning land use planning, beautification,
OUR READERS WRITE
Extend pedestrian safety throughout La Jolla As a supporter of pedestrian safety, specifically for the Torrey Pines Road corridor where residents do not have safe access to complete sidewalks or cross signals for a two-third of a mile stretch of road on the south side of Torrey Pines Road between Prospect and Calle La Juela (see torreypinessafety.org for details), we were pleased to read the article about La Jolla jaywalkers and the police department’s attempts at creating better habits among our pedestrians in the March 14 issue. Though it might it be annoying to receive a warning or a ticket if you jaywalk or cross while paying attention to your PDA, it is really about rewiring our potentially life-threatening bad habits. We believe that the PEEP program (Pedestrian Education and Enforcement Projects) is a great start for increasing safety for our citizens. We’d like to encourage our local and federal lawmakers to take it to the next level and fix the dangerous roads that also cause pedestrian deaths. According to Transportation for America’s Dangerous by Design report (t4america.org/resources/ dangerousbydesign2011), between 2000 through 2009, more than 47,700 pedestrians were killed in the United States. Most of these deaths occurred on principal or minor arterials — wide, straight roads that are often extremely hostile to pedestrians. They feature little to no facilities for walking, so drivers aren’t looking for people on foot. These major roads are eligible to receive federal funding for construction and improvements with federal guidelines or oversight for design. The Torrey Pines Corridor project would be a perfect recipient for this type of funding. Councilmember Sherri Lightner has shown support by obtaining other federal funds for the
GUEST COMMENTARY traffic, parks, beaches, crime and many other vital concerns of our local community. Over 50 years ago, 37 different groups were merged to form the Town Council. These groups included the Chamber of Commerce, Merchant Association, Hotel Owner’s Association, Civic League, Planning Council and the Conservation Society, to name a few. This was done as an effort to have our concerns heard by the San Diego City Council. Roger Revelle first signed the Articles of Incorporation of the La Jolla Town Council back in 1950, so as to create a democratic forum for voices to be heard. In modern times, this messaging has not changed, although the vehicles have. As a group, we do our utmost to assist constituents in every way. Some of the content delivery methods would be surprising to our forebearers, but the information held within would not be. Recently we have modernized our website, created an online training platform to educate trustees, employed Facebook and Twitter, and implemented a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platform to best assist our
Torrey Pines Corridor project. We’d like very much to see her push pedestrian safety forward in the near future. Sherry Nooravi, Dori Robbins, Leigh Plesniak Residents for Torrey Pines Safety torreypinessafety.org
Disturbing seals is wrong I am so distressed by the rumor that some people have been violating the mama seals and their pups at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla. All have a right to their own personal opinions concerning whether the seals should stay or go, but to blatantly attack an animal that has no way to defend itself — or its pup — is despicable. In my day, one of a criterion for diagnosing a serial killer was that they often took great joy in purposely hurting defenseless animals. It’s disgusting and there is clearly something broken in such people. Ms. Scripps saved that little piece of beach for “the children.” I would imagine that she is restless in her grave, for animal or human, we are all God’s “children,” to be treated with respect. Katharine Henry La Jolla
Seals need protection I was a volunteer down at Children’s Pool Sunday for four hours on Sunday. The entire time, many hungry seals were bobbing their heads hoping for a safe spot to come ashore to nurse their young. As people ran up to them, some screaming, the seals were pushed back into the water leaving their pups hungry while the tide got higher leaving less beach. Thanks to myself and one other volunteer asking people to stand back, the seals got to eat and rest. We need help to place a rope here. If you just sit back from a distance without a political view, you might see the beauty and the gift it is to have this right here for free in La Jolla. The children much prefer to see this than
members and the community at large, and to provide that forum in every medium. In the upcoming year we will do our utmost to provide an education forum at our monthly meetings, and an engaging social forum at our monthly mixers. We have an outstanding fundraiser planed for Fall, with proceeds going to local organizations providing public works that benefit all. For me, it is an honor and a privilege to serve on the La Jolla Town Council with such highly esteemed, thoughtful and hard-working trustees and committee members. Their devotion to the Jewel never fails to inspire. I trust that each reader will seek involvement with one of the many La Jolla community organizations who endeavor to polish this Jewel of ours. An evening or two a month can do so much and can also give you so much in return. With questions on La Jolla community groups and how to participate, please feel free to contact me personally at (858) 454-1444 or president@lajollatowncouncil.org — The La Jolla Town Council offices are at 1150 Silverado St. The council meets at 5 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. The meetings are open to the public.
swim. There are hundreds of other places to swim, but the gift of watching nature is a blessing from above. Jennifer Manor La Jolla
It’s not about the seals It’s not about the seals; they’re mostly innocuous and peaceful animals. It’s not about the children; they’re also mostly tolerable and acceptable community members. It’s not about the Children’s Pool; it has long since silted over from years of neglect. It’s become about fringe special interest groups expressing their freedom of speech. It’s become about the imminent domain of public property and government sanctioned surveillance. It’s become about a megalomaniac politician and apathetic commissions. It should be about the environmental impact of encouraging or discouraging a seal colony or pelican or zebra or any other type of colony in our urban environment. It should be about mitigating the ongoing pollution, stench and decay of the beautiful cliffs and beaches that make this the “jewel of California.” It should be about the best interests of the community, and not just the fanatical fringe, and be devoid of the blatant extremism currently on show. Peter Kyle Martin Muirlands
Children’s Pool is not seal sanctuary You were nice enough to include my letter in a current edition. However, by leaving out the underlining of the Children’s and Harbor, the meaning of the submittal was muddied. Even my wife, when she read the submittal, asked me “are you for or against seals at the

FROM LETTERS, A18 Children’s Pool — I can’t tell from the article”. I want to make it clear that I object to the Children’s Pool being used for a seal sanctuary. So as make my input clear to your readers, I have an unusual request — that you re-publish my submittal with the underlined words as I submitted them. Pete Ward La Jolla

I don’t recall a there being a problem before the seals and the fenced-off seagull area. So, I assume some “influentials” believe La Jolla needs Harbor Seals and seagulls to attract tourists (follow the money). But do Monterey or Carmel? — no — they have their own unique draw. Where else can you see the true unique beauty of La Jolla, “The Jewel”? The Children’s Pool, and the Harbor Seals. Get it? Or lose it!

OBITUARIES
Donal Philip Hackett 1926 – 2013
Donal Hackett, beloved husband of Merrie Creasman Hackett and father of Sharon, Claudia and Doug, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 16, 2013. The son of Maurice J. and Helen Boyle Hackett, Don was born on May 11, 1926, in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He enrolled in the University of Texas as a Navy cadet and earned a degree in Business Administration in 1948. Don took great pride in being a Longhorn alumni. Commissioned initially in the U.S. Navy and later in the U.S. Air Force, he served during the Korean conflict stationed at Wright Patterson Air Base in Ohio. After several additional years of service as a reservist, he was discharged at the rank of First Lieutenant in 1958. Don followed his father’s footsteps into the banking business. He spent more than thirty-five years in the La Jolla community near San Diego as a banker with Security Pacific Bank and other San Diego banking institutions. He was a choir member and served as a Trustee for the La Jolla Presbyterian Church, was a

Rosamond Larmour Loomis 1911 – 2013
Rosamond Loomis was born February 14, 1911, in Berkeley, a small community in Norfolk, Virginia. She was the only daughter of loving and nurturing parents. Her father was a brilliant watercolorist, particularly inspired by trains and ships. After attending local public schools, Mrs. Loomis was given a first year scholarship to attend Hollins women’s college in Roanoke, Virginia. While working her way through college Mrs. Loomis picked up many of the qualities that would shape her into the engaging educator, dedicated community leader and beloved stepmother who inspired the lives of so many. Following her Master’s studies at Radcliffe College, Mrs. Loomis served as teacher, counselor and principal. Her students included First lady Barbara Bush. In 1953 she accepted the invitation to become Head Mistress of The Bishop’s School in La Jolla. During her nine years as Head Mistress Mrs. Loomis, or Miss Larmour as she was then known, left an indelible mark on her “girls”
and the school. Though she left in 1962, Mrs. Loomis has persisted in being deeply involved in Bishop’s and in the local community. Her “girls” continued to stay in contact with their beloved Head Mistress throughout the rest of her life. In 1963 Miss Larmour became Mrs. Richard Loomis and joined his family including two sons and a daughter. Her marriage to Richard Loomis introduced her to new roles as a housewife, cook, stepmother and eventually great grandmother; all of which she took on with the same keenness which marked her life and career. Richard Loomis passed away in 1994. Mrs. Richard Loomis was a role model whose guidance, inquisitive nature and enthusiasm was infectious, and during her 102 years, she helped shape many around her through example. She is missed by all the people whose lives she touched. Mrs. Loomis is survived by her family in Virginia; her family through her husband, Mary Loomis Dorn, David Loomis and Richard Loomis, Jr.; and their extended families. Services will be held Wednesday, April 17, 2013, at 3PM in the afternoon at St James by the Sea Episcopal Church, 743 Prospect Street, La Jolla, CA.

By Pat Sherman Luxury and classic automobile enthusiasts from San Diego and around the globe are headed to the Village for the La Jolla Historical Society’s ninth annual Concours d’Elegance auto show and related events, April 5-7. Event chair Michael Dorvillier said organizers hope this year’s event will not only highlight world-class cars, but offer guests a world-class experience, beginning with Rolls-Royce’s Contemporary Classics Cocktail party, 7 to 10 p.m. at the new Amaya La Jolla restaurant on Prospect Street. The event promises a modern and unique twist on the retro cocktail soiree, including a violin-playing DJ. The weekend continues Saturday morning with a motor tour covering 60-70 scenic miles of San Diego coast and countryside. The journey begins with breakfast at the San Diego Automotive Museum, with stops for tours at two private car museums, including Chuck Spielman’s Only Yesterday Classic Autos museum in Sorrento Valley. Saturday night there will be a VIP reception and Silent auction in Ellen Browning Scripps Park, with food and drinks from some of La Jolla’s finest restaurants, as well as a free screening of the family-friendly film, “Cars,” also in the park. Sunday’s Concours d’Elegance show — the main event in Ellen Browning Scripps Park — will feature some 60 restored classic autos, or those produced between 1926 and 1948. “This year our theme is honoring the classics … Duesenbergs to RollsRoyces to Hispano-Suizas, Bentleys,

Aston Martins, Packards and Cadillacs,” Dorvillier said. Just outside the park, the streets of La Jolla will be lined with newer, sporty automobiles from the 1950s-’60s for the Motor Car Classic, which is free for public perusing. Judging is from 9 a.m. to noon, with awards handed out at 2 p.m. First- and second-place prizes will be presented in each class, as well as two “Best of Show” awards, to autos produced before and after World War II. Also new this year will be an area for automotive artwork, featuring artists who have exhibited their work at the Pebble Beach Concours event. In addition, there will be live music on Sunday from the Malamaña’s trio (Latin, Flamenco), Dave Patrone (jazz vocals), King Legend (rock ‘n’ roll) and
the Jazz Pigs (guitar, vibraphone). This year’s event will also feature displays from the San Diego Automotive Museum, Peterson Museum, Blackhawk Museum and Mullin Automotive Museum. The La Jolla Historical Society is the primary beneficiary of the event. Last year’s Concours raised $56,000 for the society, said its director, Heath Fox. “It’s a great thing for the historical society to sponsor for this community,” Fox said. “We’ve estimated that about 1,000 hotel rooms are going to be booked up for people coming to this event. So it’s good for the businesses in the community, and it’s good for the image of the community. It’s a very prestigious event that’s growing in prestige. It’s ranked right up there with Pebble Beach and Amelia Island.”
Liliane Qoun McCain’s 1936 Bugatti Type 57 Suisse-Graber Cabriolet is one of the luxury autos featured at this year’s La Jolla Concours d’Elegance.

a Jolla Country Day’s men’s tennis team completed half the season with a 9-0 record for regular dual matches. The players have defeated such tops teams as Dana Hills (from Orange County), La Costa Canyon, and their biggest rival, La Jolla High School. Compared to last year, the team has more depth with strength in both their singles and doubles players. The Torreys are led by upperclassmen Amir Ferry, Alex Khorsandian, Jack Murphy, Gabriel Pamich, David Shaw and Ethan Krant. In addition, they have many returning sophomores and an impressive bunch of freshmen players, who are full of infectious, positive energy. Together this team is committed to bringing home the CIF Team Championship title and strives to get into the Regional Championships, which takes place mid-May. Until then, the Torreys still have another month and a half until the CIF Team Championships, and the road is not going to be easy as they have yet to play tough teams such as PV Peninsula and University High (both Orange County schools) and Torrey Pines. — Varita Sureephong

1913-2013 (and counting) Grande Colonial marks 100 years in La Jolla Editor’s Note: As part of La Jolla Light’s 100th publishing anniversary this year, we are featuring stories about fellow La Jolla centenarians throughout 2013. If you know a person, place or group which is 100 years old, please call (858) 875-5950 or e-mail sdemaggio@lajollalight.com
By Linda Hutchison any La Jollans are turning 100 this year. As they celebrate their centennial year, so is a distinguished La Jolla landmark — the Grande Colonial Hotel — that opened its doors to guests on Feb. 1, 1913. The Colonial Apartments and Hotel, as it was called then, was billed as a luxurious blend of European elegance and contemporary American ambience overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The original white, wood-framed building was designed by Richard Requa, the master architect of the California Exposition in Balboa Park. La Jolla Centenarians It is the oldest original hotel in La Jolla. The Colonial quickly became a popular gathering spot in La Jolla, which had been growing in size since its founding 25 years earlier. By 1913, La Jolla had train, phone and electrical service and was attracting more visitors, residents and businesses. In Europe, war was rumbling, but was still far away. At home in the States, Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president; the income tax was introduced, as were the first zipper, elastic bra and the moving assembly line at Ford Motor Company.

Pastor Paul Cunningham gives thanks for his life in ‘amazing’ La Jolla 10 QUESTIONS
P
aul Cunningham is the senior pastor of La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Before moving to La Jolla, he pastored churches in Lubbock and Wichita Falls, Texas. Cunningham grew up in Fresno and graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in finance. He earned his master’s degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and a doctorate in ministry from Reformed Theological Seminary. He currently serves on the board of directors for Urban Life (an inner city ministry focusing on City Heights and southeast San Diego), The Word at Work Paul Cunningham (a mission organization in Belize), and Whitworth University. He is married to Shannon, who is an artist, and they have two children, Morgan and Micah.
What brought you to La Jolla? Our family moved here in August 2006, so that I could become the senior pastor of La Jolla Presbyterian Church. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Honestly, we live in a pretty amazing place … maybe no more marine layer in May and June? Who or what inspires you? My parents taught me a lot about humility and integrity when I was a kid and I am grateful for their example. I tend to be inspired by people who are less famous and who live in such a way that they are making the world a better place one person at a time. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? My invitations would go to Abraham
Lincoln, Ansel Adams, Bono, C.S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, Jesus and Martin Luther.
much any kind of professional or college-sporting event is also a lot of fun for me.
What are you reading? I just finished “Leonardo and The Last Supper,” by Ross King, and loved it. Currently, I am reading “Bonhoeffer — Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy,” by Eric Metaxas, “Bad Religion,” by Ross Douthot and “The Righteous Mind,” by Jonathan Haidt.
What is your philosophy of life? Live fully, love like God loved us, and serve others in your community and world.
What is your most-prized possession? I know that family is not a possession, but I would have to say my wife and kids. They are a great source of joy and encouragement to me. What do you do to relax? I enjoy walking along the beach, reading a book, watching the sunset. I always love to travel. Going to pretty
What would be your dream vacation? I had to ask my family about this one because I would want them to go with me. They chose Africa. We would visit the seminary, our church sponsors, and go on a safari. What are your favorite spots in La Jolla? There are too many to choose from — from the great coffee places, to restaurants, to an amazing coastline to walk along — I don’t think it gets much better than this!

BarFly offers both family fun, sassy nightlife By Kelley Carlson s a sports-themed family restaurant that doubles as a nightclub on weekends, La Jolla’s BarFly is often buzzing with activity. With a capacity of about 300 people and plenty of floor space, reservations aren’t necessarily needed except during the holidays, according to co-owner Ben Tashakorian. The brick-accented dining room has an array of seating options, including large, semicircular booths that can hold up to six or seven people, cozy couches and polished tables with glowing candles. At the bar, customers can casually browse the selections of spirits and the 20 beers on tap, which include Stone and Karl Strauss. And there are no shortage of TVs — with more than 25 throughout the restaurant, there’s no need to worry about missing a major sporting event. During football season, families come in and watch games without the rowdiness of a “typical” sports bar, Tashakorian said. While their parents are rooting for their favorite teams and enjoying pizza-and-beer specials, kids are treated to cartoons and they get to eat free with each paying adult. But there’s more than just TVs to provide entertainment. Bands and disc jockeys take the stage as the weekend draws near. From 7 to 10 p.m. Thursdays, there are jazz tunes; Fridays feature salsa and flamenco from 6 to 9:30 p.m.; and R&B is the music of choice from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Saturdays. But after 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, BarFly transforms from a family restaurant into a nightclub, where adults 21 and older call the shots and dance away the evening to songs spun by radio station DJs from Z90 and Channel 93.3.
A The patio is equipped with heat lamps and several TV screens.
Southwestern-style Avocado Eggrolls is one of the popular appetizers.
Patrons are welcome to lounge around fire pits in the patio.

It’s a place guests often migrate to as many local hotels shut down their restaurants by 10 p.m., and it’s not unusual for wedding parties to find their way into the establishment, which requires classy attire during the later hours. While there’s plenty of action inside, things heat up outside, as well. The patio features a couple of fire pits surrounded by couches, tables for wining and dining and even more TVs. Nevertheless, Tashakorian emphasizes that BarFly is a restaurant first before a nightclub. The fare by Executive Chef Sean Sommer goes beyond the typical bar food. The restaurant offers a 43-page menu, which it shares with its next-door neighbor, Aroma Bakery and Café. The entrees reflect ethnic influences, from Asian and Mediterranean to Southwest and contemporary. One of the popular appetizers is the
Avocado Eggrolls. Large avocado chunks, sun-dried tomato, red onion and cilantro are stuffed into a wrapper and lightly fried; they are served with teriyaki and sweetcilantro sauces. Another favorite is the Chinese Chicken Salad with sautéed chicken breast, bean sprouts, snap peas, scallions, crispy wontons, cashews, carrots, bell peppers, Romaine lettuce, Napa cabbage and a slightly spicy ginger-soy vinaigrette. Among the restaurant’s specialties is the tender Salmon Sticks that rest on a bed of rice and are served with sautéed vegetables and wasabi-orange marmalade. Along with providing a venue for dining, dancing and sports viewing, BarFly is a “one-stop shop” for catering needs, Tashakorian said. Numerous dishes, a full bar, security, servers, bartenders and a DJ can be provided with as little as a day’s notice.

La Jollan to compete in World Irish Dancing competition By Ashley Mackin Stacey Haerr believes that certain sports attract certain types of personalities. In the case of Irish dancing, which her daughter Margaret, a student at La Jolla High School does competitively, these people are disciplined, organized, professional, poised, committed and well mannered. After 11 years of Irish dancing, Margaret Haerr exemplifies all these traits — and more. She is ready to compete in the World Irish Dancing Championships in Boston on March 29. “It’s considered an honor to just go. Most people at my dance school have never been, so it’s exciting to attend with my team and just be there,” Margaret said. “Usually the World Championships is held in Ireland, so we don’t get the chance to go, this is only the second time it’s been held in the United States.” In preparing for the competition, Margaret practices with her dance team at the Malone Academy of Irish Dance for about six hours a week; add to that, more practice at home. She has to be in La Mesa by 6 a.m. on most days so that the eightmember team can rehearse and still have time to get to school. If they can’t organize a morning

practice, they rehearse at night. Her interest was sparked after a family trip to Ireland where Margaret watched children her age dancing. “I thought it looked cool,” she said. She also saw the show, “Riverdance,” and felt further compelled. Margaret participates in a competitive troupe, a traditional dance troupe, and a show troupe, and also dances solo. Her competitive group dances in contests across Southern California about once a month. They also perform in regional contests to qualify for nationals and the World Championships. In this group, they perform a contemporary version of Irish dancing.
The competition team on which Margaret Haerr performs. Courtesy The troupe’s goal is not to be showy, but to perfect the art. “It’s straight out of a book that has all the steps in it and we have to go by the book,” she said. The uniforms get more exciting as the competitive level goes up. For non-competitive shows, such as ones they do on St. Patrick’s
Day, the team wears a black velvet slip dress. For competitions, they wear red, black and white dresses with Celtic designs. For solo performances, they wear bright, neon, flashy dresses with crystals that are made just for them because they must fit perfectly. The solo dresses cannot be
washed, so they are only worn onstage. “You don’t wear it downstairs waiting to dance (you wear a leotard and shorts) and right before you go on stage, you slip it on, then you dance, and as soon as you get off, you take the dress off,” she said. All the time, energy and financial commitment involved with the sport are worth it to Margaret. “When you are dancing, and you know you’re dancing really well, it feels like you are floating. It feels good … and you bond with the other people you are with,” she said. “It’s a lot of exercise and really tiring, especially in solo dancing. You are doing so much jumping and skipping that you are drenched with sweat. Some people think you’re just standing and tapping your feet, but it’s a lot of movement across the stage.” For as good as it makes her feel, Margaret knows she won’t be Irish dancing forever. After the World Championships, she will only dance for fun. “It starts to hurt the dancers’ ankles and toes, and at a certain point, you really can’t physically do it any more, it’s just too much.” Going forward, Margaret said she’s excited about attending a college in the UC system to study biology.

Who makes decisions at the library? Apparently, you do! By Ashley Mackin When head librarian Catherine Greene says the La Jolla branch is the people’s library, she means it. Library patrons influence much about the books available, as well as the event programming, and one young patron will even act as a community liaison. Ordering Books When it comes to choosing new books, Greene said she welcomes suggestions. Using a grid created at the city level based on demographics, Greene adjusts the types of books that will come to the Riford library. For example, she said she often requests more biographies and less computer books than what is proposed. She will also request specific titles and bestsellers if asked. “The more people do that, the happier I am, because it’s good to let me know,” she said. “I’ll order anything they ask for.” La Jolla patrons seem to prefer bestsellers and literary fiction, she added. While the city supplies books about once a week, Green said the Riford is fortunate enough to receive about 100 book donations a day from patrons. She goes through each one and decides whether to keep it or pass
movies that frequently screen. Coming soon is the revamp of Mystery Science 3000, which will screen at 4 p.m. the second Wednesdays of the month.
Florence Riford Library Center ■ Hours: • Monday, Thursday, Friday: 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. • Tuesday, Wednesday: 12:30-8 p.m. • S aturday: 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. • Sunday: 1-5 p.m. ■ Address: 7555 Draper Ave., La Jolla ■ Phone: (858) 552-1657 ■ Website: lajollalibrary.org it along to the City of San Diego. Paying Fines Overdue fees are one of the few things not influenced by patrons, they are set by the city, Greene explained. When a book is checked out, it can only remain out for so long before the city considers it lost. San Diego Public Library Public Information Officer Marion Hubbard (as in Marion the Librarian) said, “Materials are considered lost after being overdue 118 days. The maximum fine is
Librarian Catherine Greene sifts through the books for sale from the Friends of La Jolla Library at the Riford branch. Ashley Mackin $20. At 21 days and 42 days, e-mails are sent to patrons notifying them of items overdue. If a book is deemed lost, the $20 fine is removed, but the person needs to pay the cost of replacing the book, plus a $10 processing fee.” The La Jolla branch purged its lost items list in 2003, and nothing has been considered lost since then. For adult materials, the fee is 30 cents for each day overdue, with the exception of videos, which are $2 for each day overdue. For youth materials, the fee is 10 cents per day; $2 a day for videos.
Special Events Patrons contribute to exhibits, performances and presentations through suggestions and volunteering. “We get a fair number of people wanting to come in and do programming here because they feel what they have to offer is going to be appreciated by the people in this community,” Greene said. The Friends of the La Jolla Library Board takes suggestions and decides on the programs and
Youth Liaison needed For the past year, Girl Scout Maura Kanter served as the inaugural Youth Liaison between the Friends Board and local public schools. The position came about when Kanter approached Greene for ideas for her Gold Award project. Kanter’s work was so well received, the Board decided to make it a formal position. Now that her term is up, the Friends are looking for a new youth liaison. The job requires attendance at Friends Board meetings the third Wednesday of the month; the planning, preparing and promoting of school program partnerships; participation in committee work as needed; maintaining records of activities for monthly submission to librarians and board members. Those interested in applying, can mail an academic resume (with skills and activities) to Catherine Greene, Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. La Jolla, CA 92037. No e-mail or phone submissions will be accepted.

JCC event will mark 60 years of Holocaust commemoration A Holocaust commemoration (Yom Hashoah) program is set for 1:30 p.m. Sunday, May 1 in the Garfield Theater of the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. The theme will be “Remember, Honor and Teach: Our Survivors, Their Lives and Legacies.” May 1 marks the 60th anniversary of Holocaust commemorations throughout the world. Marilyn Harran, Ph.D., scholar, author and professor of Holocaust education at Chapman University will be the guest speaker. Her talk will be followed by a 20-minute documentary produced for the occasion. In the film, three local survivors speak about their lives before the Holocaust and how they survived.
Marilyn Harran Producer Bonnie Bart is a local filmmaker who also produced last year’s acclaimed film “Liberation: 65 Years Later.”
La Jolla High student earns a perfect score in English competition A team of students representing La Jolla High School won high honors in the February WordWright Challenge, a national competition for high school students that required reading and analysis of prose and poetry. The La Jolla High sophomores’ entries tied for 10th place in the country, with sophomore Nika Ostovar being one of the 22 tenth-graders in the nation to earn a perfect score. More than 58,000 students from 582 schools participate in the WordWright Challenge, which has one more meet in April.
The 90-minute program will open with a military color guard, a musical presentation and a traditional candle-lighting ceremony with the candles being lit by six Holocaust survivors and the Reverend Canon Jack E. Lindquist representing the nonJewish community. Dr. Harran is an associate of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, in addition to many other prestigious appointments and awards. In 2008 she received the “Spirit of Anne Frank Award” from the Anne Frank Foundation. The Holocaust Commemoration is free and open to the public. It has been held in San Diego for more than three decades and is the largest in the country. Last year, more than 700 people attended.

La Jolla Elementary boosters boogie down at fundraiser
M
ore than 300 parents, teachers and supporters of La Jolla Elementary School (LJES) busted their best disco moves during a sold-out gala on March 16 at the Cuvier Club in La Jolla. A fundraiser for Friends of La Jolla Elementary School, Inc., the event featured music from Polyester Express and silent and live auctions that included everything from a trip to Hawaii to the chance for one lucky LJES student to become “principal for a day.” Event Chair and LJES parent Angela Goodwin took guests back in time to the ’70s with swinging, retro décor, while music teacher Julie Greathouse led LJES teachers in a rendition of the disco hit “I Will Survive,” renamed “Your Kids Will Survive” — an homage to all parents do for the school. Alexa Scoma and Sharon Jones filmed a video of students showing their gratitude in a multitude of ways. — Pat Sherman

La Jolla resident to compete in state Geography Bee La Jolla resident Liam Fay, a seventh-grader at Francis Parker School, was named a semifinalist in the National Geographic Geography Bee. He will now compete in the 2013 California National Geographic Bee. Liam’s mother Melissa said his knowledge comes from a longtime interest, not from excessive studying. “For his 7th birthday, Liam asked for a globe,” she said. “Soon he wanted a world map for his wall, which he uses to this day to draw maps of the ancient empires he’s discovered through books, board games like ‘Diplomacy’ and ‘Risk,’ and yes, computer games such as ‘Civilization,’ ” she said. Liam even started a “Country of the Day” activity during his homeroom period at Liam Fay school. Geography Bees were held statewide for months (ending Jan. 15) to determine each school’s winner. The champs then had to take a qualifying test and those with the top 100 scores will now compete at the state level on April 5 in Sacramento. The state winner will win $100, a comprehensive National Geographic DVD, and a trip to Washington, D.C., where he or she will represent California in the national Geography Bee.

Animal charities accept grants at Ark Antiques luncheon By Ashley Mackin Celebrating its 10th anniversary at 7620 Girard Ave., the non-profit Ark Antiques shop held a St. Patrick’s Day luncheon for volunteers and beneficiaries to distribute monies raised for local animal charities. Ark Antiques — though it has changed names and locations over the years — has been donating its net proceeds to animal groups for 40 years, said owner Elizabeth Davidson. The volunteer-run store makes more than $2 million a year, funding what is distributed to beneficiaries through a grant process. The groups receiving funds this year include: The East County Animal Rescue, Feral Cat Coalition, The Fund for Animals, Horses of Tir Na Nog, Operation Greyhound, Project Wildlife, TERI, Rancho Coastal Human Society, Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary, San Diego House Rabbit Society, and San Diego Turtle and Tortoise Society. “I think it was a real plus for our volunteers to see

Left: Representatives from the charities give presentations on how the money they received would be used. Courtesy see their financials, how many people or animals they reach each month or year; we prefer to grant monies for capital items if possible and not salaries,” she said. Ark has also begun giving money for veterinary expenses so organizations can avoid putting animals to sleep. A typical grant is $15,000,
sometimes more and sometimes less. Davidson noted that for the Turtle and Tortoise Society, $500 would be huge. Ark Antiques also maintains an emergency reserve for organizations in need of help in disasters. Fitzgerald said during the 2012 wildfires in East County, they were able to
pay for Project Wildlife to send food to the animals that survived and pay for treatment of the animals that were burned. “During Hurricane Katrina, we funded three people to fly out and rent an RV so they could build an enclosure and save a lot of the dogs that were loose,” Fitzgerald said.
Davidson said they raise cash by selling mostly consigned items that are donated to the store. “Small things we accept almost any time, larger things we hope you’ll tell us, ask us, and send us pictures,” she said. “Donors like our mission and they like to see their family possessions go to such a nice place.”

FROM Grande Colonial, B1 The Lincoln Highway opened from New York City to San Francisco. It was the first paved highway to cross the country. During the 1920s, La Jolla began paving its streets, too, perhaps not with gold, but definitely riding into a golden age. The Colonial’s owner George Bane decided to give his hotel a new look to take advantage of La Jolla’s tourist boom. In 1925 he hired architect Frank Stevenson to design a hotel that would “rival anything in the West.” The original building was moved to the rear of the new building, where it still stands. The new building was completed in 1928 with 28 apartments, 25 single hotel rooms (available for

fireplaces with marble hearths, ornate chandeliers and lots of sunlight streaming through the decorative, domed windows. Soon the new building also included La Jolla Drugstore, which owner Silas Putnam moved from next door. He added an ice cream parlor on the sidewalk where, for more than 30 years, locals gathered to chat and enjoy sodas and banana splits. The drugstore’s pharmacist was Gregory Peck, Sr., the father of actor Gregory Peck, who grew up in La Jolla and in the 1940s, founded the La Jolla Playhouse with fellow actors Dorothy McGuire and Mel Ferrer.

FROM Grande Colonial, B18 own in the kitchen, although they’ve settled down since the latest remodeling. After the drugstore moved out in 1960, the Colonial fell on hard times, until three local partners bought and restored it in 1976. Since then, there have been four additional restorations, new owners, and two popular restaurants, Putnam’s Grille (1980-2001) and NINE-TEN since 2001 (both located in the space occupied by the drugstore). The hotel’s most recent renovation of its entry, foyer and lobby was completed a year ago in anticipation of this year’s 100-year anniversary celebration. The goal was to preserve the classic feel of a European hotel and blend its historic spirit with contemporary style. The renovation included preserving original Georgian style arches, crown moldings, lead glass windows and handstenciled ceilings. “The Grande Colonial holds a very special place in La Jolla’s history and a fond place in the hearts of many in the community,” said Terrence Underwood, general manager of the hotel since 1999. “We join a very exclusive group of other hotels in San Diego that have celebrated such a milestone, including the Horton Grand, Hotel Del (Coronado) and US Grant.”

Betcha didn’t know some of these spring food facts!
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
S
pring gently drifts in, bringing with it a stream of festivals, holidays and sporting events accompanied by a crop of tender shoots and other traditional foods celebrating rebirth, rejuvenation, freedom, the national pastime and the Earth’s bounty. Inquiring culinary minds want to know about spring’s best offerings. Here are the answers. n What’s the difference between green and white asparagus? While green asparagus is exposed to sunlight to produce its rich emerald color, its albino sister is buried under soil where it undergoes the process of etiolation (light deprivation), which prevents
the production of chlorophyll, producing white stalks. These are milder tasting, and more tender than their green counterpart. They’re also higher in calories as the sugar content is spiked. Both have a mother lode of antioxidant-rich vitamins A and C, stress-relieving B, along with potassium and calcium to dial up bone health. But ultimately, green trumps white, as it contains anthocyans for cardiovascular protection. White is also higher maintenance and needs a peel before cooking, while green can be steamed, roasted, marinated or chomped on raw without the necessity of peeling. n Are peppermint and spearmint interchangeable in savory and sweet dishes? These ubiquitous culinary herbs are grown in assorted climates enlivening cuisines globally. Although doppelgangers in appearance with bright green, jagged, spearshaped leaves, spearmint and peppermint are not created equal.
Spearmint has more bite to it with a distinct aroma, while its peppermint cousin is sweeter with a milder disposition. The latter also contains menthol; a breath of relief in cool drinks (ice teas, sparkling waters) that stamp out fires from spicy foods. And since it’s the mildest of the pair, it works best in desserts (chocolate mint cheesecake, crème de menthe parfaits, mint brownies), chutneys and relishes, sprinkled on peas, spuds and carrots, and blended in lassi (Indian yoghurt drink). The mighty spearmint is ideal as a rub for roasted lamb and chicken, blended in hearty sauces or jellies or as a riff on pesto swapping out basil for the tangier herb. Kudos to mint for also putting the skids on indigestion. Minty mojitos anyone? n When did eggs become a symbol of Easter? The egg is Mother Nature’s precious package and has been revered as a symbol of creation, fertility, rebirth and Easter celebrations since ancient times. The Romans,
The Kitchen Shrink’s
Lamb Ragu • 1-pound ground lamb • 3 garlic cloves, minced • 1 tablespoon chopped basil • 1/2 red pepper, diced • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 1-cup tomato sauce (adjust to desired consistency) • Salt and pepper to taste
n Method: In a skillet on low, sauté garlic and peppers in the olive oil until tender. Add the lamb, sauté until cooked thoroughly. Blend in remaining ingredients and simmer 15 minutes. Ladle over egg noodles, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs.
Chinese, Egyptians and Persians, who had yearly rituals of exchanging gorgeously decorated eggs during the Spring Equinox, honored it in rites of spring. Decorating eggs has been a custom since the days of Edward I of England in 1290 when royal records showed that 18 pence were paid for 450 eggs gold-leafed and colorfully painted by hand
for Easter gifts. n Are spring onions the same as scallions? Delicate scallions are the slender cousins to the more bulbous, zippier spring onion, which, true to its namesake, is available only in the spring while the other can be found throughout the year. They can both be used chopped fresh in salads, thinly sliced as a garnish for soups or Asian noodle dishes, and tossed in stir-fries, but the larger more sturdy spring onion stands up better than scallions when roasted or braised. Remember with the stronger flavored spring onion, more is less. This zesty pair of warriors also burns carbs and puts the skids on inflammation. n What’s the latest ballpark trend in hot dogs? While you can still relish a classic ballpark wiener like the Dodger Dog and the Fenway Frank, the latest hot dog craze at the stadium is triple by-pass on a bun. The Cincinnati Red is a deep-fried dog wrapped in bacon,
topped with chili and fried salami. The Sonoma Dog at Petco Park is wrapped in bacon and covered with onions, pinto beans, peppers, tomatoes, sauce, and served on a potato bun, with chips, of course. n Is it appropriate to serve roasted lamb at the Passover Seder? This year, Easter merges with Passover week, although some ritualistic and celebratory foods collide. While many families enjoy roasted spring lamb for their Easter Sunday meal, this tradition harks back to the inaugural Jewish Passover Seder (dinner). The sacrificial lamb was roasted and served with unleavened bread (matzo) and bitter herbs called maror, so the Angel of Death would “pass over” their homes and spare their first-born male. When many Hebrews converted to Christianity, the custom of eating lamb during Easter survived generations. Today, many Jewish families forgo serving lamb since it’s reminiscent of the ancient Paschal sacrifice.

Art of Elan brings stylish music to accompany art at Lux Institute
Art of Elan co-founders Demarre McGill and Kate Hatmaker will bring their nontraditional sounds of music to Lux Art Institute April 4. Courtesy
O H P on down 7766 Girard Avenue 858-454-0146 adelaidesflowers.com
Never heard of LJOVA? He’s a Russianborn, New York-based violist/composer who writes music for jazz combos, Gypsy bands, and string quartets. And “Vjola Suite” includes some unconventionally titled movements, like “Bagel on the Malecon,” “Crosstown” and “Budget Bulgar.” The hour-long concert will be preceded by an outdoor reception, which will give audience members a chance to meet the musicians and explore Lux’s natural landscape, before going in to experience what Hatmaker called “an intimate chamber music concert in a visually stunning space.” “There’s a real synergy that exists when the musicians and audience are placed just a few feet away from each other, especially when surrounded by the works of a fabulous visual artist,” she added. All this, plus drinks and light refreshments: sounds like a perfect way to spend a spring evening.

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Elan: It’s French for liveliness, spirit and style. And for the past six years, Art of Elan has been presenting refreshing programs of short, varied, and unusual pieces of chamber music to diverse audiences around San Diego County, most notably with a regular season of concerts at San Diego Museum of Art. Now, on April 4, they’re coming to Lux Art Institute in Encinitas, using their casually elegant style to provide a soundscape for the haunting pointillist paintings of Lux’s current artist-in-residence, James Chronister. It promises to be a delightful mix of sounds and visuals in the Institute’s striking hilltop setting. Art of Elan co-founder Kate Hatmaker, who is also a violinist with the San Diego Symphony, says the program will include some of A of E’s “best hits,” and will feature, besides co-founder Demarre McGill (principal flutist with Seattle Symphony) on flute, Pei-Chun Tsai on violin, Travis Maril on viola and Abe Liebhaber on cello. “People often think of classical music as being so different from the visual art world, but basically we’re all after the same things: to transport people, to express something and to unite people in our humanity,” Hatmaker said. “And the pieces we’ll be playing are colorful works that will transport our listeners to different times and places. The ‘Vjola Suite’ by LJOVA is a particular favorite of ours.”

Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
R
A ‘Google Map’ of human metabolism Building on earlier work by UCSD researchers, an international consortium of university researchers has produced the most comprehensive virtual reconstruction of human metabolism to date. Each person’s metabolism — represented by the conversion of food sources into energy and the assembly of molecules — is determined by genetics, environment and nutrition.
The new model, known as Recon 2, allows biomedical researchers to study the human metabolic network with more precision than was previously possible. This is essential to understanding where and how specific metabolic pathways go off track to create diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and even psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. In 2007, a Systems Biology Research Group at UC San Diego built the first virtual reconstruction of the human metabolism network (Recon 1). It featured more than 3,300 known biochemical reactions documented in more than 50 years of metabolic research. In
CELEBRATIONS
contrasts, Recon 2 contains more than 7,400 reactions. One of the most promising applications for the network reconstruction is the ability to identify specific gene expressions and their metabolic pathways for
targeted drug delivery. Recon 2 debuted in a paper published in the journal Nature Biotechnology. News release appears at www.bit.ly/15BNx5G Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

esearchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine have shown that a new imaging dye (known by the generic name “tilmanocept”), designed and developed at the Moores Cancer Center, is an effective agent in detecting and mapping cancers that have reached the lymph nodes. In a Phase III clinical study at 13 medical centers involving 148 melanoma and breast cancer patients, tilmanocept successfully identified cancerous lymph nodes and did a better job of marking cancers (94 percent detection) than the current standard dye (76 percent detection). In addition, the new dye takes less time to find lymph nodes and is cleared faster from the body offering surgeons a new tool to accurately detect and stage melanoma and breast cancers while in the operating room. On March 13, tilmanocept received U.S.
Fighting the leading cause of congenital birth defects A virus most people have never heard of, but that the majority of us carry, is the No. 1 infectious cause of congenital birth defects in the United States today. Known as cytomegalovirus (CMV), if infection is present during in utero development, 1 in 750 children will be born with or develop permanent disabilities such as hearing loss or brain damage. Creating a vaccine against CMV is listed as a “high priority” by the National Institute of Medicine, Efforts to develop such a vaccine received a boost with the discovery, by La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology and Cardiff University in Wales (UK) researchers, of a previously unknown cellular mechanism that blocks the ability of two key immune pathways to kill CMVinfected cells. In other words, it’s a novel trick that the virus uses to hide from the body’s immune detection. Knowledge of this mechanism could enable
vaccine counter strategies to flush out and eliminate virus-infected cells. The findings appear in the journal Cell, Host & Microbe. News release at www.bit.ly/10xG48c

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of DOROTHY CECILE HOFFMAN; DOROTHY CECILE NORDLING. A Petition for Probate has been filed by KATHERINE L. MCKINNELL in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. The petition for Probate requests that KATHERINE L. MCKINNELL be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: April 4, 2013 Time: 1:30 p.m. Dept.: PC-2. Address of court: same as
noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Shirleymae Davis 6051 Dunant Street San Diego, CA 92122 858-459-4053 LJ1335.

Researcher at Scripps La Jolla receives meteorology award Britain’s Royal Meteorological Society has awarded Tim Barnett, an emeritus research marine geophysicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, its Symons Gold Medal, the society’s premier award. It is the first time in the history of the award that a Scripps scientist has received the honor. The society, founded in 1850, will formally present the medal during its annual general meeting in London on May 15. “I’m stunned, but extremely honored to receive the Symons,” Barnett said. “The prior awardees were truly the giants in the field and I feel very humble to be in such august company.” Barnett has been a leader of modern efforts to improve the understanding of climate through computer models and advanced statistical methods. His use of the analysis method known as “detection and attribution” led Barnett and fellow Scripps researcher David Pierce to conclude that ocean warming trends in the second half of the 20th century could only be attributed to the influence of human activities rather than natural phenomena. Their first evidence of this causal relationship appeared in 2001. Barnett and Pierce’s 2008 prediction that Lake Mead, a crucial water supply source for much of the southwestern United States, could run dry in only a few decades without changes in water use, garnered worldwide attention and led to reassessments of how the supply should be managed. The Symons award is named for George

Courtesy Symons FRS, a 19th Century meteorologist noted for his creation of a vast rainfall measurement network throughout the United Kingdom. According to the society’s citation: “Dr. Barnett has contributed a large number of ground-breaking and highly influential scientific results that have fundamentally changed our view of climate variability, predictability, and change. … Considering his stature, he has won surprisingly few awards, the most distinguished being the Sverdrup Gold Medal of the American Meteorological Society and a share of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize as part of the IPCC. … He is eminently worth of the prestigious Symons Medal.” — UCSD/Scripps Reports

■ Video interview with Aimeclaire Roche at lajollalight.com talked about: investing in school,” Roche said. Her father, an obstetrician and gynecologist; and her mother, who earned a law degree and Master’s in social work after raising her own children, were part of the first generation of their
families to attend college. As parents, they sacrificed to give Roche and her four siblings an independent high school education. “The idea of going to school and gaining knowledge to contribute to the world was a part of our

Four years ago, she shifted coasts to become head of The Bishop’s School, a grades 6-12 independent school in La Jolla’s Village, where her dedication to education continues. “It has been phenomenal. I’m the luckiest person in the world,” she said. “Bishop’s is as it was advertised. It is a place where being authentic matters. It isn’t just academic rigor. It is about curiosity and being a life-long learner. If you live to learn, this is the school for you.” An enthusiastic and warm person who is equally quick to laugh or to become philosophical, Roche (who goes by the nickname “A.C.”) has been immersed in school culture since she began at Exeter in the tenth-grade.

As much as you missed your family, it was all about investing in that experience,” she said. Roche attended Wellesley College for two years before transferring to Harvard University to pursue Greek and Latin at a larger department. “For me, it was similar to math,” Roche said of her interest in Latin and Ancient Greek. “The details of the text really spoke to me. I loved that one letter alters meaning.” She also relished being able to access traditions, values and theories from 2,000 years ago through the “dead” languages. Roche decided to become a teacher to help other students to make similar connections. After graduating from college, she took a position teaching Latin to kids in grades 7-12 at The Williams School in Connecticut and knew she’d made the right career choice. “It was intellectually stimulating, and what you can’t anticipate is how much fun it is to hang out with teenagers, which is why my career has always been in middle and high school. There is something just endearing, fabulously mysterious and hysterical about the way teens function and live out their lives,” she said. Roche taught Latin and Ancient Greek at Exeter for a year, then spent 10 years teaching at St. Andrew’s School, a boarding school in Delaware. Over time, Roche took on administrative roles and obtained a master’s degree at Columbia University’s Teachers College. She was the assistant head of Groton School, a Massachusetts boarding school, for five years before coming to Bishop’s in 2009. Roche

NINTH ANNUAL LA JOLLA CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE AT L A J O L L A C O V E
Aimeclaire “A.C.” Roche Head of School at The Bishop’s School
■ Years at the helm: 4 ■ Education: B.A. in Greek and Latin, Harvard University; Master’s in organizational leadership, Teachers College, Columbia University ■ Best part of job: “2:30 p.m. on the quad! It’s madness. Yesterday, there were rockets going off, teachers moving around and kids catching up with each other. The best part of the day is the energy that exists when we just spend leisure time together.” ■ L east favorite part of job: “That there are only 24 hours!” ■ My alarm clock goes off at: 5:25 a.m. ■ Favorite energy snack/drink: Fritos and chocolate milk ■ Pets: Keeper of the family dog, Buster; an old, black Labrador ■ What I do to relax: “I hang out with students! And I force myself to workout at the gym a couple days of the week.” ■ What’s on my nightstand: “The Secret Race” by Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle about the culture of substance abuse in cycling. “What was informative to me is how culture allows one to make healthy or unhealthy decisions, how it plays into one’s individual choices. That is a teenager’s life: ‘Who am I as an individual and what is the culture that surrounds me?’” ■ Favorite book: “Homer’s ‘Odyssey,’ hands down.” ■ Favorite quote: “Tempus fugit.” (Time flies) loved the intimacy of the school communities in which she worked, places where students shared meals together and discussed issues of humanity, spirituality and purpose, she said. Two of the schools were affiliated with the Episcopalian church, as is The Bishop’s School. Roche’s transition to the west coast and to Bishop’s (which was once a boarding school) has been seamless, she said. “I have found San Diego and the Bishop’s community and the La Jolla community to be incredibly friendly and intimate,” Roche said. “Bishop’s is a school where you find kids here at 8 o’clock at night and on weekends. It functions with the heartbeat of that boarding school still in it,” she continued. Under Roche’s leadership,
Bishop’s has expanded to include sixth-grade, opened a library and adopted a complex daily schedule. Roche considers the greatest challenge in education today to help young people find balance in their fastpaced, tech-heavy lives. “The world they live in is so ready for them to disclose in a public forum what may be better held privately. The world around them says, ‘Technology is king!’ but yet what is the value of conversation? The world around them says, ‘Do it now!’” she said. “But yet we all know that patience is one of the single greatest gifts we can give ourselves as well as others.” To see every story and video from The Principal’s Office series, visit www.bit.ly/ lajollaprincipals
