City removes six 90-year-old trees from Village streets

By Dave Schwab “The last tall eucalyptus tree in The Village, in front of U.S. Bank on Girard Avenue, is being cut down as I write this on April 5 with a broken heart,” wrote bookkeeper Caran Hardy to The Light from her office on Herschel Avenue.

“There is also a big white X on another two trees further up Girard toward Vons. Slowly, all The Village places of uniqueness, history and wonderment are disappearing. Thank goodness the ocean can’t be trucked up and hauled away! Welcome to Any Commercial Town USA. If this community doesn’t succeed in saving our historical post office, then it is yet one more block in La Jolla that becomes truly unremarkable.”

According to city arborist Drew Potocki, a total of six eucalyptus trees in the area of U.S. Bank — three on Girard, two on Herschel and one on Wall Street — all suffered from the same deteriorating condition as the tree that toppled over last spring, crushing one car and damaging two others in front of Mary, Star of the Sea church.

“And, based upon the failure of that one tree last spring, we did a thorough analysis of the larger See Trees, A7

nd so it begins … now that it appears former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney will be the Republican candidate for U.S. President, his oceanfront home in La Jolla gets Secret Service scrutiny. Step one is to ensure only locals access the neighborhood. These restrictive traffic signs were placed at the entrance to Dunemere Drive off Monte Vista Avenue and monitored by security when Romney arrived for the Easter weekend on April 6.

Golden Opportunity

Bishop’s senior shares stunning scenes in blog, book

By Pat Sherman hen The Bishop’s School senior Brittany Comunale was tasked with finding a project to earn her Gold Award — the highest achievement in Girl Scouting — she had no trouble picturing what she would do.

A former La Jolla Light intern tasked with photographing events in and around La Jolla, Brittany was dismayed to learn how few people attend many of the city’s annual or visiting events — including the 2010 FINA World League Super Finals water polo competition, held at the aquatic complex near La Jolla High.

Though the competition featured teams from around the world, the stands were virtually empty, she said.

“That was an eye-opening experience,” said Brittany, 18. “There are amazing things happening in San Diego — and especially in La Jolla — that no on really knows about.”

For her Gold Award, Brittany compiled an array of annual events throughout San Diego County, from La Jolla SummerFest to the Miramar Air Show and San Diego Asian Film Festival, which she posted with her photos at projectperspectivesd. wordpress.com.

As an adjunct to her blog, which is updated on a regular basis, Brittany also published a coffee table book, “Project Perspective: San Diego through the Photographic Lens,” as well as a photo DVD and civilian and military photo calendars.

“I wanted to show people how awesome San Diego really is,” said Brittany, who roamed the county for a year with her Canon 5D Mark II camera at her side.

Alongside photographs of treasured pastimes, such as the San Diego County Fair and San Diego Chargers games, Brittany captured offbeat activities, like her experience flying above the city in a Word War II-era biplane (which is offered through Barnstorming Adventures at Montgomery Field).

The final photograph in her book is of a sunset reflecting brilliant gold on the San Diego Bay and Coronado Bridge — one of several shots she captured during the flight.

“I figured I could get a different perspective of San Diego

from the air,” Brittany said. “It was a little scary, I’m not going to lie, because it’s a rickety old biplane. … It could have been unfortunate for my camera at many times since it was very windy that day.”

Several other photos pay homage to subjects close to Brittany, including one of fellow Girl Scouts participating in a memorial for Ashley Heffington, a 9-year-old Girl Scout who was killed in a car crash on New Year’s Eve of 2010.

Another photo shows two young Cub Scouts saluting a grave at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.

“It’s a big ceremony,” Brittany said. “Everybody puts a flag at each grave, then respectfully salutes.”

Brittany’s mother, Mariacecilia Comunale, leads Brittany’s Girl Scout Troop 3145. Comunale said her troop developed a special relationship with the military at the onset of the recent war in Iraq.

One of three active duty servicemen the girls had been writing to in 2003 was the best friend of Lt. Thomas Adams, a La Mesa resident who became the war’s first Naval casualty.

“His best friend was unable to fly home (for the funeral) because of his deployment, so our troop decided we would go to his grave and honor him,” Comunale said. “It just stuck in the girls’ heads, so every year we go back to place flags on the graves.”

Brittany, who also serves as photo editor for The Bishop’s School yearbook, said she chose from about 3,000 photographs taken at 50 events and locations to come up with the best for her book, blog and calendars. After graduation, she plans to major in history and minor in photography at Brown University.

Reflecting on her years as a Girl Scout, Brittany said she wants people to know that the organization is about more than selling cookies and collecting merit patches.

“It was more of a community-building experience,” she said. “Girl Scouts is essentially the reason I started community service back when I was five years old and it’s such a big part of my life now. It’s what introduced that to me and wanting to be altruistic and help others.”

During their years in Scouting, girls learn everything from changing tires to kayaking , surfing and self-defense, Comunale said.

“Scouting helps girls reach their highest potential and it opens opportunities that many would not be able to see or afford,” she said. “It allows them to develop their independence and leadership capabilities that will take them through college and beyond.”

The view from the Mosher Point of View Observation Deck.

Guests turn out to toast architect Mosher

By Dave Schwab The Mosher Point of View, the name of the new public observation deck adjoining Eddie V’s restaurant at 1270 Prospect St., honors La Jollan Robert Mosher, who is as timeless as his work.

A public ceremony was held April 5 to dedicate the ocean-view deck with its bronze bust and plaques recognizing architect Mosher’s 60-plus-year career.

Mosher was appreciative, saying the tribute truly reflected the spirit of his work.

“My architectural attitude, which has guided me throughout my career, is pretty much expressed in a very brief way on one of those plaques right there on that deck,” he said.

Mosher’s family once owned the Green Dragon Colony site. As an architect, he’s since been busy gradually redesigning the property, taking something old and making it new.

To do that, Mosher said he used a “wooden vocabulary,” preserving the property’s historic character through the use of wood and other natural building materials.

“That’s the architecture I established way back in 1948,” he said of the series of small shacks from the colony he remodeled.

“We’re going to rebuild the rest of the place in conformity with that architecture.”

Addressing the uniqueness of “his” observation deck, Mosher quipped, “It’s the

only place the public can go out and look on that view without buying a hot dog, a hamburger or a steak.”

Mosher’s work includes the master plan for John Muir College and the Applied Physics and Mathematics Building at UC, San Diego; the Aztec Center (Student Union) at San Diego State University; the San Diego Fine Arts Gallery, West Wing (now the San Diego Museum of Art); the Bank of La Jolla Building (now the Wall Street Building); the La Jolla Branch of the California First Bank (now the Union Bank of California); and the Sherwood Auditorium, expanded galleries, and a new entrance for the La Jolla Museum of Art (now the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego).

He also served as design consultant for the San Diego/Coronado Bridge.

The architect’s last project before retiring was designing Eddie V’s.

“I was able to get all the (ocean) views nicely captured,” he said. “I worked hard to do that.”

Mosher thanked Don Allison, owner of Coast Walk, for his generosity in recognizing his architectural contributions.

“Don Allison has always respected the things that I’ve talked about in terms of my architectural life and design,” Mosher said.

“He and Bill Zongker did a very nice thing when they had the opportunity to make a nice observation platform. I’m very much in their debt.”

By Dave Schwab Taste of Bird Rock, the community’s signature summer festival fundraiser, will be resurrected this year and served up a little more palatable.

“Taste of Bird Rock is a great event and a community-builder,” said Felicia Parker of the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) at its April 3 meeting. The community advisory group launched the event as a Bird Rock Elementary School fundraiser in 2002.

“This is a good way to revitalize the (La Jolla) Boulevard. The focus isn’t going to be on the restaurants, but on a street fair with vendors coming in who won’t be competing with businesses.” Previously, Taste Of was held on a weekday evening. It was discontinued after 2009, following a successful seven-year run. The event grew too popular too soon.

Unexpectedly large crowds caused complications with traffic and parking. An unforeseen safety and security issue also surfaced: public alcohol consumption.

But ultimately, Taste Of proved too appealing — and lucrative — to abandon.“Bird Stock,” a September community picnic in the park that replaced it for two years,

couldn’t cut the fundraising “mustard,” so a core BRCC committee has come up with a hybridized solution.

“It’s going to be called ‘Bird Stock Taking It To The Streets,’ ” Parker said. “Instead of a Taste of Bird Rock happy hour on Thursday night, we’re going to have a daytime street fair on Saturday, July 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. so people can enjoy dinner on the boulevard afterward in a regular setting.”

Parker said the committee is open to new ideas for adapting the event. “We’re just getting the balls rolling,” she said.

In other council action: • Save La Jolla Post Office: Task Force member Joe LaCava exhorted residents to turn out at the U.S. Postal Service’s Thursday, April 26 public hearing at the Cuvier Club at 6 p.m. “That venue can hold 400 people and we’d like to see 400 people there,” he said.

• Newsletter: Council president Joe Parker urged people to get on board with compiling and distributing the group’s monthly newsletter noting, “One great feature of BRCC is this great, little, wonderful newsletter — a little slice of America.”

Charles Cochrane celebrates the ‘birth’ of Surfaxin: immunologist’s drug seen as gift to premature infants

By Dave Schwab Most of us have tasks taking minutes, hours, days — sometimes even weeks or months to complete.

Just imagine what’s it’s like to tackle a project that doesn’t come to fruition for 20 years or longer.

Such was the “quest” undertaken at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla by immunologist Charles G. Cochrane.

Now a professor emeritus at TSRI, Cochrane in 1988 began research to solve a chemical equation to counteract Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), a breathing disorder affecting premature infants.

Newborns with RDS aren’t able to make enough surfactant, a liquid coating their lungs allowing them to breathe. Without enough surfactant, the lungs collapse and the infant must work hard to breathe, which may result in oxygen depletion that can damage the baby’s brain and other organs if not properly treated.

Twenty-four years later, following extensive research involving lab and clinical testing on animals and humans, a potentially lifesaving drug developed by Cochrane, Surfaxin, was finally approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration on March 6.

What Cochrane developed is a synthetic pulmonary surfactant, KL4, that doesn’t cause an immune reaction when administered diFrom Trees, A1 (eucalyptus) trees in The Village last fall and found that all of them were suffering from significant internal decay,” Potocki said. “It’s one of those natural processes trees go through, especially urban trees.”

Potocki said the eucalyptus trees on Girard and environs were planted in the 1920s, making them all about 90 years old. “It was a matter of unknown time before they would have failed,” he said of the trees removed last week.

“But all the trees that were cut down will ultimately be

Right: Immunologist Charles Cochrane poses in his lab. rectly into the lungs of pre-term infants. KL4 restores much of their impaired lung function within hours after birth.

Development of Surfaxin was a long time coming, but all worth it because of the end result, said Cochrane.

“March 6 was the date that opened huge doors to save many lives … and improve life for millions of others,” he said.

The 81-year-old research scientist recalled

with glee how, in 2004, he was first informed that clinical testing of Surfaxin had been successful: “Charlie, we just delivered your baby.”

Until now, treating 90,000 RDS infants worldwide has involved use of “animal-derived” surfactants with multiple side effects: they’re expensive, injurious to the lungs, produce negative immune reactions, and cannot be produced in sufficient quantities to meet demand.

Now, said Cochrane, Discovery Labs, the company formed to manufacture and market Surfaxin (and for whom Dr. Cochrane consults) can begin distributing the drug that is applied in liquid form.

Still, Cochrane said development of Surfaxin is going one step further with a new aerosol application that can expand its use to treat other diseases and older patients.

“There’s a better way of giving it, freeze-drying the surfactant,” he said. “It will give it a long shelf life and make it inexpensive so it can be sent all over the world to start saving lives.”

Adding the drug could be used to treat other respiratory maladies, such as cystic fybrosis and acute asthma, Cochrane said, “It’s one drug for many treatments.”

Though not from a medical background, Cochrane said he always had a basic interest in science. He was among the “Pittsburgh 5,” a group of then-young immunologists who transferred from that Midwestern city to TSRI when it was founded in the 1960s.

Some now refer to Cochrane as “The Last of the Mohicans,” because he is the sole remaining original member of the Department of Immunology at The Scripps Research Institute.

Though he always intended to get into internal medicine, Cochrane said he found immunology so compelling that he never made the switch.

“The species will be determined by the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA). It’s their call.

“If we can possibly save or

retain a tree – we’ll do it.

Unfortunately, these trees had to be taken down.

Sometimes that’s necessary for the safety of the public in the right-of-way. This was one of those calls.”

Post Office to hear protests at April 26 meeting

By Dave Schwab Thursday, April 26 will be the only opportunity for La Jollans to meet face-to-face with the U.S. Postal Service to express their disapproval of the federal institution’s proposal to relocate the postal service at 1140 Wall St. and sell the “historic” building.

That’s the message the Save La Jolla Post Office Task Force wants to convey to the community about the event that starts at 6 p.m. at the Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave. “This is the meeting,” said interim Save the La Jolla Post Office Task Force chair Leslie Davis, noting the Cuvier Club seats about 400.

Besides imploring La Jollans to turn out at the special meeting, the task force released answers from the U.S. Postal Service to questions put forth by the task force via Congresswoman Susan Davis’s office.

Among its answers, the postal service said it “has not reached a final determination” to sell the (Wall Street) facility, but it is “under serious consideration” because the facility’s size “far exceeds our space needs.”

The Postal Service declined to release figures on revenues and expenses for its La Jolla facility, describing that information as “proprietary.”

Utility undergrounding in La Jolla continues toward 2035 deadline

By Dave Schwab If you’re wondering how utilities undergrounding is going in Council District 1, which includes much of La Jolla, 14 of the 47 block projects to be completed between 2004 and 2035 are in the works or finished.

Recently finished were Project Block 1F: La Jolla in the Beach-Barber Tract from Neptune Place to La Jolla Boulevard, including Vista Del Mar, Monte Vista and Olivetas Avenues, as well as Tyrian Street; and Project Block 1R: University City, which was “christened” recently in a pole removal ceremony attended by First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner.

San Diego associate traffic engineer Labib Qasem said there are two kinds of utility undergrounding projects — conventional block jobs and arterials, along roadways.

Utilities are being undergrounded for other than visual or aesthetic reasons.

“It’s a safety thing,” Qasem said. “You don’t want these poles to be falling down undoing electrical (service) and communications.”

Through the undergrounding program the city is replacing about 30 to 35 miles of overhead utility lines at an estimated cost of $50 million annually.

Undergrounding has been ongoing since 1970. But in 2003, when the California Public Utilities Commission approved placing an undergrounding surcharge on San Diego residents’ electricity bills, the city escalated

its undergrounding efforts.

Utilities undergrounding involves four phases.

1) City crews create a trench and install a round plastic conduit below the surface of the roadway.

2) Cabling, where technicians place new utility lines within the new conduits. The new lines are then energized and brought into service.

3) Cut-overs. Once a new underground system is in place and energized, and all properties have been prepared to receive underground service, the properties are switched over from the overhead lines to the new underground systems, a process typically taking a month or two.

4) Pole removal. After 100 percent of overhead systems have been de-energized and removed and all power has been switched over to the new underground system, the poles come down.

There’s also some finishing touches involved, including putting in new streetlights and resurfacing roads.

Coalition urges: Stay current on immunizations In honor of National Immunization Week, April 21-28, the San Diego Immunization Coalition (SDIC) urges people to make sure family members have all their immunizations.

SDIC is a coalition of organizations and individuals working together to identify and develop strategies to raise immunization coverage for San Diego County residents.

According to the group, fully immunized

children and adults derive the most protective benefit from the vaccines.

In 2010 there were 1,144 cases of whooping cough (Pertussis) reported in the County, including two infant deaths. Pertussis is a contagious disease that can make young babies very ill.

It’s the time for ice plants of every variety Natural La Jolla

By Kelly Stewart

I

am going to continue with the plant theme for this week’s article because there are so many flowers at this time of year that deserve mentioning. Ice plant is one of the best flowering plants in the spring, and there are many different varieties.

The most common and most noticeable is the thick-leaved ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis) that grows invasively along the shoreline, in yards and on embankments along the freeways. This ice plant, also called the Sour Fig (or Hottentot Fig) was brought to Cal-

ifornia from South Africa in the early 1900s to control erosion. The succulent leaves, triangular in cross-section, are edible (ground squirrels love them) and the fruit is also edible. Flowers are up to 4-inches in diameter and begin bright yellow and then fade to pale pink. This ice plant species may hybridize with another, Lampranthus sp., which has smaller magenta flowers. Many of the other purple ice plants are from the genus Delosperma, but there are over 100 different species so they are difficult to tell apart.

Although ice plant does provide some soil stability to crumbly cliffs and loose soil, it is not native to the area and quickly takes over once established, choking out natural desert and chaparral plants that would normally grow in our area. But they are very beautiful and are best enjoyed in the middle of a warm sunny day, as the flowers close up at night.

W

hen Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelry on La Jolla’s Wall Street in 1946, they could never have known that their business would later become one of the longest standing retail landmarks in the community. But 65 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelry, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business.

Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981. Since then, he and wife Sheila of 37 years, have been the go-to for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs and exceptional, personalized service.

With an unparalleled selection, fine quality and real personality, the

family feel at Bowers is contagious. Patrons are encouraged to pull up a chair while they marvel at the many unique necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and time pieces on the showroom floor.

The folks at Bowers remain true to their customers and work tirelessly to provide quality products at fair prices.

Boasting a highly qualified, passionate and friendly staff, Bowers keeps the tradition of old La Jolla alive and well.

In 1991, I was introduced to the La Jolla Community Planning Association by Fritz and Fred Leibhardt. Business was slow and I had time on my hands. Several Architects, which I considered to be my peers, told me if you want to be considered a respected Architect in La Jolla, this is something you should do. I jumped in with both feet. I rose up through the organization quickly.

I thought, wow, I must be good. I later realized, that wasn’t it at all. As anyone who has been involved in a community organization knows, warm bodies willing to volunteer rise quickly. I soon became a Trustee, Officer and finally President, a term I served for six years. The CPA was a wonderful experience, and I recommend to anyone interested in community development join the CPA and get involved. As a young Architect I became an expert in code interpretation, coastal development policies, agency and political impacts on growth and I helped write parts of the La Jolla

Community Plan. When the economy picked up in the mid 90’s, I benefitted from this experience. The greatest benefits to me however, were the people I met and ultimately the friends I made because of the organization. Unfortunately, some have passed.

However, I must say thank you to all of you who helped me, encouraged me, advised me and sometimes criticized me. You all know who you are. I truly cherish our friendships.

Thank you.

Since this month Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the opening of our firm, I would like to say a special thank you to a number of Architects who coached and supported me during those years. Fred Liebhardt, Gene Weston, Bob Moser, Roy Drew, Dale Nagel and Henry Hester. As a side note, these brilliant minds all practiced and are continuing to practice Architecture into their 80’s and 90’s. Architecture is a positive and honorable profession. I intend to practice the hell out of it.

Leichtag Foundation to buy Ecke Ranch property in Encinitas From Foundation Reports The Leichtag Foundation has signed an option agreement to purchase the Paul Ecke Ranch property in Encinitas that is located between Saxony Road and Quail Gardens Drive, adjacent to the San Diego Botanic Garden. The 67-acres of land houses some 850,000 square feet of greenhouse space. The Foundation plans to create a cultural and community resource for the San Diego region and the Jewish community at the ranch.

“We see the purchase of this property as a way to ensure the land’s use as unique space that inspires the community,” said James Farley, Leichtag Foundation’s president and CEO. ”Our founders, Lee and Toni Leichtag, cared deeply for the North County community where they lived and worked. This purchase honors and makes permanent their loving legacy, investing in a deeper sense of place and a more sustainable community.”

The Foundation is focused on combating poverty and increasing selfsufficiency for residents of coastal North County; supporting and inspiring vibrant Jewish life in coastal North County; strengthening education about the Holocaust and its modern-day lessons for tolerance, understanding, and civility; stimulating renewal, service, and social activism in Jerusalem, Israel; and building-

centers. Of course, any plan for this land will go through the appropriate public process that includes community engagement.”

Paul Ecke, owner of the ranch, said, “This was a difficult decision for me.

While we have properties all over the world, this is my family’s legacy and the house I grew up in. But I have honed a business model that will work for the long term, and I see this as the best decision for the company and the beginning of a new era for Paul Ecke Ranch. We are excited to continue our research and development work and leadership in the poinsettia and flower development markets, and we will use the transition to find the right site. I couldn’t have found a better buyer, and I hope the community will work with the Leichtag Foundation to create something here that can be really great for North County.”

Today the Leichtag Foundation expects the land will be used for continuing agricultural operations. Paul Ecke Ranch will hold a multi-year lease for their flower research and development while they seek a new location. Other growers will continue to lease and use greenhouse space for years to come. The Leichtag Foundation will also explore complementary uses, such as urban farming, service learning, and community engagement, which may start in the near term.

Max (Lee) Leichtag and his wife, Andre (Toni), founded the Leichtag Family Foundation in 1991. The Foundation and Family Trust granted more than $65 million to projects in North County, San Diego, Jerusalem, and around the world.

“While we don’t yet know the details of the site’s long-term use, we believe the kind of uses that will be explored include urban farming, service learning, expansion of the San Diego Botanic Garden, educational and cultural programs, and support of a strong Jewish community in North County,” Farley said. “Our purchase ensures that it will not be used for development of residential subdivisions, commercial office parks, or shopping

Scripps to replace WW II-era structures in Seaweed Canyon

By Pat Sherman Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) will spend $6.4 million in state funds to replace Quonset huts and latrine buildings in Seaweed Canyon, located on the Scripps campus just east of the Birch Aquarium. The structures, used for research and storage, will be replaced by three prefabricated metal structures.

SIO Director of Finance and Operations, Doug Bennett, said the existing wooden structures, originally used during World War II, have “pretty much been destroyed by termites already” and will be demolished to make room for about 24,500 square feet in additional storage facilities, which are used for Scripps’ seagoing research programs.

The renovations will improve access for emergency vehicles and include upgrades to infrastructure.

California Coastal Commission staff recommended that the commission approve the permit with “special conditions” related to water quality, landscaping, sensitive environmental resources and brush management. The commission is expected to vote on the project this month.

Bennett said the existing buildings — about 15,000 square feet — have been used to store seagoing equipment such as buoys, nets and moorings that marine biologists deploy from research vessels off the coast of Point Loma.

“This is a project that’s been in the state-funded cue for a number of years,” Bennett said. “We yielded to some other campus projects that were a higher priority about a decade ago, so this project got postponed.”

The project was originally supposed to be funded through the sale of lease-reve-

‘Seaweed Canyon’ History • The land known today as Seaweed Canyon was part of a 1907 purchase of 170 acres by the Marine Biological Station of San Diego — later to become Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) — for $1,000. The area has been variously referred to as “eastern lands” and “rattlesnake canyon.” It wasn’t dubbed Seaweed Canyon in documents until the mid-1960s.

• In a 1930 report, architect Louis J. Gill included a map showing only one structure in the area, identified as “Mouse House and Yard.” This was a deer mice research facility supporting the work of SIO biologist Francis B. Sumner. One oral report says that earlier the canyon may have been used as a pig farm.

• During WW II there was an acute housing shortage and a number of trailers were parked in the canyon and used as residences by people, including SIO staff. There was a dump, no sewage hookups, and lots of complaints after the war from people trying to get the trailers moved out and the area cleaned up. SIO finally booted the people out when Scripps Estates was established. The dump remained there for many years, although it was used mostly for green waste and seaweed scraped off the beach (giving the canyon its present name).

• In 1952, SIO’s radio facility, WWD, and its sizable antennae were relocated from the campus to a hilltop west of Seaweed Canyon. The radio shack was later demolished to make room for the Stephen Birch Aquarium Museum. During the 1950s and ’60s, Seaweed Canyon was used as a pistol range for police.

• During the 1960s and ’70s, as the seagoing efforts of Scripps increased, old Marine latrine buildings and Quonset huts were brought to Seaweed Canyon for use as SIO storage.

nue bonds this spring, though Bennett said the sale could be held back until the fall.

“There’s an uptick we’re hearing about in construction costs,” he said. “We’re exploring the possibility of actually using campus funds or UC system-wide funds now to keep the momentum going on the project. “We’re looking at having the university pay for and finance the project with the expectation that a bond sale will occur and then we basically just have to pay monthly interest until we get reim-

bursed by the state.”

Southwest Fisheries construction update Expected completion of the new $26.1 million Southwest Fisheries Science Center laboratory, located on the north side of La Jolla Shores Drive across from the existing center, has been pushed back from April to June, Southwest Fisheries spokeswoman Meghan Donahue said.

A dedication ceremony is expected in the fall.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Public welcome to watch Brees Celebrity Golf Championship

Home Care Assistance opens facility with expanded services

The Drew Brees Celebrity Championship will take place May 18-20 at La Costa Resort and Spa. Since its inception in 1999, the tournament, formerly known as the Celebrity Classic hosted by Stan Humphries, has raised more than $1 million on behalf of numerous San Diego-based charities.

“I am honored to be hosting the tournament for the third year,” said Drew Brees. “It has been a signature event for the Brees Dream Foundation to raise funds and awareness for such worthy charities.”

The tournament will feature more than 50 top celebrity golfers. The Drew Brees Celebrity Championship is comprised of a celebrity-amateur tournament (Friday and Saturday, May 18-19) and a 36-hole celebrity competition (Saturday and Sunday, May 1920), featuring more than 50 celebrity golfers competing for a projected purse of $100,000 and the coveted Drew Brees Celebrity Championship trophy.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo won the 2011 Drew Brees Celebrity Championship with an impressive 5-under par.

By Marti Gacioch For five years, Home Care Assistance has worked to keep La Jolla’s older adults living happily and healthfully in their own homes by providing them with quality caregivers.

Now the company’s recent move to 7521 Fay St. will enable them to provide even more services for the La Jolla community.

“We’ve always helped clients with all the basic daily living activities like housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation and personal care, such as bathing and dressing,” said Jennifer Muskat, regional director of client services. “But our new 2000-squarefoot facility is now offering a healthy cooking class for caregivers, a silver-age yoga class for seniors, and Chair Chi (a seated version of Tai Chi) for a nominal fee.”

According to Muskat, Home Care Assistance has 70 offices across the country, and the La Jolla office is the first to offer these classes to give back to the community.

To determine a client’s needs, Muskat visits their home to meet with an adult child seek-

ing help with an aging parent. While there, she assesses the client’s needs to determine what level of skilled caregiver is necessary.

Muskat said a typical client is aged 80 through the early 100s, and their needs range widely from simply basic companionship to transportation, cooking, and light housekeeping. Some need round-the-clock care for a medical issue. “If a client’s case becomes medically complex, we bring in a geriatric care manager to handle that aspect of the case,” Muskat said.

Home Care Assistance has approximately 240 caregivers, but they’re always seeking qualified candidates. “We’re very particular, though, and really take a lot of time doing background checks, checking references, and training potential caregivers before we hire anyone,” Muskat said. “Of 35 applicants, we may only choose one.”

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 12, 2012 - Page A17

Use your Voice to help out your community When you’re on the hunt for a purchase, whether it’s a new chair or an oil change for your car, where are you going to turn to find out the best product and deal for you?

According to a March 2012 report by Sociable Labs, “1 in 4 online shoppers, who shop at least quarterly online and log into their Facebook account at least monthly, have made a purchase based on a social recommendation.”

Word-of-mouth has long been an effective and common way to get recommendations, and it’s no surprise that it has migrated to social media.

It’s interesting to note that 41 percent of social sharers who responded to Sociable Labs’ inquiry said they shared their product recommendations so their friends could get the same deals, while roughly 25 percent wanted to explain why they liked the product so much. But the reverse is true for those reading the recommendations, as 43 percent were more interested in learning why the product was chosen, with 41 percent more interested in learning about deals.

LaJollaVoices.com is a place where the community can come together and share recommendations with each

other, like friends.

The fact that LaJollaVoices.com is made for the community means that the recommendations are from people who live, work and shop all around you.

A study released in October 2011 by Performics and conducted by ROI Research, showed that people were more inclined to trust a recommendation or deal from their social networks than from shopping or deal sites.

It’s understandable why people are more inclined to trust others who use social media over the websites themselves; a person who bought a product and posted about it just wants to share his or her enjoyment with their community.

Many people aren’t comfortable posting product recommendations or deals on their own personal social media pages out of fear they will seem like they’re pushing the product. Posting their business successes to a community so-

cial media site like LaJollaVoices.com is the solution to that dilemma, providing a place to share deals without the worry of clogging up a Facebook account or annoying friends.

“This is a great place to

share ideas and successes with local businesses,” said Phyllis Pfeiffer, publisher of the La Jolla Light. “It’s not personal, it’s more community focused.”

The more people who visit and post on LaJollaVoices. com the more it will benefit the community. Who better to trust about that new restaurant or store than someone in your community who has experienced it?

FBI warns grandparents of phone scam on the rise From FBI Reports You’re a grandparent, and you get a phone call or an email from someone who identifies himself as your grandson. “I’ve been arrested in another country,” he says, “and need money wired quickly to pay my bail. And, oh by the way, don’t tell my mom or dad because they’ll only get upset!”

This is an example of what’s come to be known as “the grandparent scam,” yet another fraud that preys on the elderly, this time by taking advantage of their love and concern for their grandchildren.

The grandparent scam has been around for a few years — our Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has been receiving reports about it since 2008. But the scam and scam artists have become more sophisticated. Thanks to the Internet and social-networking sites, criminals can uncover personal information about their targets, which makes the impersonations more believable.

For example, the actual grandson may mention on his social-networking site that he’s a photographer who often travels to Mexico.

When contacting the grandparents, the phony grandson will say he’s calling from Mexico, where someone stole his camera equipment and passport.

Common scenarios include: ■ A grandparent receives a phone call (or sometimes an e-mail) from a “grandchild.” If it is a phone call, it’s often late at night or early in the morning when most people aren’t thinking

that clearly. Usually, the person claims to be traveling in a foreign country and has gotten into a bad situation, like being arrested for drugs, getting in a car accident or being mugged, and needs money wired ASAP. And the caller doesn’t want his or her parents told.

at a hospital, or some other person. And we’ve also received complaints about the phony grandchild talking first and then handing the phone over to an accomplice to further spin the fake tale.

■ We’ve also seen military families victimized: after perusing a soldier’s social-networking site, a con artist will contact the soldier’s grandparents, sometimes claiming that a problem came up during military leave that requires money to address.

What to do if you’ve been scammed: ■ The financial losses in these cases — while they can be substantial for an individual, usually several thousand dollars per victim — typically don’t meet the FBI’s financial thresholds for opening an investigation.

■ We recommend contacting your local authorities or state consumer protection agency if you think you’ve been victimized.

■ We also suggest you file a complaint with IC3, which not only forwards complaints to the appropriate agencies, but it collates and analyzes the data—looking for common threads that link complaints and help identify the culprits.

Avoid being victimized in the first place: ■ Resist the pressure to act quickly.

■ Try to contact your grandchild or another family member to determine whether or not the call is legitimate.

■ Never wire money based on a request made over the phone or in an email, especially overseas. Wiring money is like giving cash — once you send it, you can’t get it back.

Coalition urges: Stay current on immunizations

In honor of National Immunization Week, April 21-28, the San Diego Immunization Coalition (SDIC) urges people to make sure family members have all their immunizations.

SDIC is a coalition of organizations and individuals working together to identify and develop strategies to raise immunization coverage for San Diego County residents. According to the group, fully immunized children and adults derive the most protective benefit from the vaccines.

In 2010 there were 1,144 cases of whooping cough (Pertussis) reported in the County, including two infant deaths. Pertussis is a contagious disease that can make young babies very ill.

To learn more about immunizations and vaccine-preventable diseases, visit sdiz.org

Our Readers Write

Let’s get creative about our post office building I believe a bigger view of the issue and area is required.

Perhaps the two blocks from the Post Office to the Athenaeum could be considered La Jolla’s second cultural core (the first being the Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla Women’s Club and La Jolla Historical Society sites).

This two-block stretch (of Wall Street) has restaurants, the Firehouse, and some small shops. With creative thinking about timed street closures and extensions of sidewalk cafes and a tenant in the historic post office, downtown La Jolla could have a new and unique venue.

The financial aspect is important and necessary, but not insurmountable. Let’s be creative and step out of the box.

Utility box artist takes a bow I gratefully write this to you to thank you for taking the picture of my artwork on the utility box near Scripps Institution of Oceanography on La Jolla Shores Drive and printing it in the Kudos column in the March 22 issue.

When I got the newspaper from my mailbox that week and started reading through it, all of a sudden I saw my familiar creature. “WOW!” I thought, “It’s my creature!” I could not believe my eyes. I felt a very warm, cheerful feeling jumping out of my skin.

I read under it, “Someone’s playful sense of humor ...” I am that someone, I am Katrin Azimi! Thank you very much for making my day. This utility box is not finished yet. It still needs a little more work on it.

Celebrity defense attorney shares insights during lecture series

By Pat Sherman Internationally renown criminal defense attorney Roger J. Rosen shared stories about his most high-profile cases, including those involving Phil Spector, O.J. Simpson, Kim Basinger, Al Pacino and the Church of Scientology, during April’s Group of 12 & Friends brown bag lunch.

The group, which meets regularly at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, listened attentively as the Los Angeles attorney spoke about the considerations of defending celebrities.

“No matter how much the client, both personally and professionally, has spent in the public eye, you as the lawyer have to prepare him or her to deal (with the media firestorm),” Rosen said.

“You sit next to Al Pacino and you can’t imagine what questions he would possibly have. He’s ‘The Godfather,’ right? But there are plenty. … No matter how many times they’ve sat in front of the camera — it may have been as a director or a producer — they’ve never sat in that chair that says defendant, and that’s a whole different ballgame.”

In an age where cameras and media are omnipresent, a celebrity defendant’s image is everything, including how he or she walks, holds themselves, dresses and styles their hair, Rosen said.

“Whenever I speak I always get the same question from some lawyer: ‘How much control did you exercise over Mr. Spector?’” Rosen said. “I always say, ‘It’s real simple — look at his hair.’ I exercised no control over him.”

Phil Spector was accused in the 2003 shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson, whose body was found in Spector’s Alhambra home.

Rosen served as lead prosecutor on the case, though he said he reached a breaking point with Spector when the music producer, famous for his “Wall of Sound,” repeatedly refused to follow his advice.

“Mr. Spector did not get my services in the second trial,” Rosen said. “I think if you look in the dictionary under the phrase ‘control freak,’ his picture is there.”

To deal with the often-insatiable egos and eccentricities of some clients, Rosen said he has to play psychologist, mother, father, best friend, and, at times, worst enemy — relaying truth a client may not want to hear.

When a trial is over, Rosen said he prefers to demur from the spotlight.

“When the play has ended, you go out the side door and down the alley,” he said. “You’re not the story, (although) a lot of these lawyers think they are. … You want to leave the party the same person who came to the party.”

Asked if he has ever feared for his safety, Rosen recalled receiving a death threat after he represented Joe Morgan, who was considered the kingpin of the Mexican Mafia and believed responsible for committing or ordering the murders of more than 300 people. In the end, Morgan was sentenced to life in prison.

High-profile criminal defense attorney Roger J. Rosen addresses the April 4 meeting of the Group of 12 & Friends at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute. Pat Sherman “A renegade member of the Mexican Mafia showed up at my office about two weeks after the case was over and told me that the Mexican Mafia had a contract out on my life and that he might be able to negotiate for me,” Rosen recalled. “That was one organization that I took very seriously and I had a personal bodyguard for two months.”

Asked if he has any moral dilemmas about some of the clients he defends — particularly when his instincts tell him a client is guilty — Rosen said defense attorneys must be able to step back and view the matter as a case, and not an individual.

“It has a name to it, but it’s a case,” he said.

“You don’t have to become personally involved. There’s nothing that says I’m required to like my client.

“I have defended some people, I don’t know whether they did it or not — even if they tell me they did it, I wasn’t there — but they have been set free,” he said. “This we know.”

Having visited courthouses around the world, including those in Cairo and Damascus, Rosen said he takes comfort in his belief that the United States possesses “the very best criminal jurisprudence system on planet Earth.”

“But if you’re going to ask me if it’s perfect?

Not even close,” he said, noting more than 100 inmates on death row who were released during the past decade when DNA-testing proved they hadn’t committed the crimes they were convicted of.

Rosen said that when he wins a case, he might be invited to a victory party and then soon forgotten. Should he lose the case, the defendant could sue him for a negligent defense.

“Either way I tell lawyers make sure you get paid before the verdict’s read,” he said.

San Diego State to face UCLA at 19th Annual Wooden Classic The San Diego State men’s basketball team is set to face UCLA at the 19th Annual John R. Wooden Classic in Anaheim on Dec. 1. Game time will be announced at a later date.

“We are honored to have an opportunity to play in an event that bears the name of John Wooden,” San Diego State head coach Steve Fisher said. “I had the privilege to get to know Coach Wooden and he is what every coach aspires to be. It is very special to play in his event against the school for which he coached.”

SDSU will be participating in its third Wooden Classic, but first since 2008 when it opposed Saint Mary’s. The 2008 game marked the second consecutive season in which the Aztecs played the Gaels in the yearly event honoring the legendary Bruins head coach.

The Aztecs, who finished the 2011-12 campaign with a 26-8 record, are coming off their fourth straight season with at least 25 victories and their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. In each of the last seven years, the back-to-back Mountain West regular-season co-champions have won 20 or more games and have advanced to the postseason.

In 2012-13, San Diego State is slated to return four of its five starters and its top four scorers from this past season.

The Aztecs are also slated to welcome three Division I transfers and a heralded recruiting class to what returns next year.

La Jolla High baseball comes up short in Lions Tournament semis

UCSD baseball sweeps Sonoma State, now in first place Pinch hitter James Mossholder’s RBI single sparked a threerun eighth inning to lead UC San Diego to a 6-4 victory over Sonoma State on Saturday at Triton Ballpark. The win moved the Tritons into first place in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

UCSD upped its season record to 21-15 and its CCAA mark to 19-9, allowing it to overtake Sonoma State (18-14, 16-8) for first place in the league. The win also gave the Tritons their first series sweep of the season. UCSD has now won 14 of its last 17 games.

The last time the Tritons swept a series was in 2011 when they downed league opponent Cal State San Bernardino in four straight to close out the regular season. UCSD last won a fourgame set vs. Sonoma State in 2010.

Up next, UCSD will play a home-and-home CCAA series against Cal State Dominguez Hills. Games one and two will take place today and Friday at Triton Ballpark. Both games are at 6 p.m. The final two contests will be played in Carson as a doubleheader on Saturday with the first game starting at noon.

By Phil Dailey The La Jolla baseball team had a solid run this past week in the annual Lions Tournament, falling just short of the 4A Division title game in a 3-2 loss at Westview.

For the Vikings (10-6 as of Monday), the early part of the season has gone well as the team has put up 103 runs in the team’s 16 games. The team opened up Western League play with a 7-5 win over Coronado on Monday.

On the season, Bobby Shuman leads the team with a .429 batting average that includes nine doubles. Austin Burke (.385) and Kevin Usselman (.419) have also been key factors with the Vikings’ success, combining for 30 RBI. The team played Coronado again Wednesday and will travel to Point Loma for another Western League showdown on Friday.

Torreys still hot on the diamond The La Jolla Country Day baseball team has continued their hot start to the season, finishing the first half of the season with a 10-4 record.

Heard & Not Seen This hearing aid does for your ears what a contact lens does for your eyes: improves your hearing without anyone knowing it’s there.

Breaking News

At a recent gathering of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), scientists revealed a hearing aid microchip processor so small that it can fit inside a hearing aid shell custom formed to your ear canal to fit right next to the ear drum. It sits so deep in the canal that it ends where other hearing aids begin. And that makes it completely undetectable to anyone else. In fact, we like to say it’s “invisible.”

Packs a Punch

Despite its miniature size, the processor inside the “InvisibleIn-Canal” hearing aid is so powerful it supports the most sophisticated advances in digital hearing technology to date.

It is so fast, that it samples the listening environment 2,000 times per second and makes automatic adjustments to the sound it delivers to your ear. When someone is talking, it is designed to quiet the background noise in-between syllables and amplify the speaker’s voice so that you can clearly hear and understand the words.

The Invisible In Canal (IIC) is virtually undetectable!

As shown in this image.

No Whistling, Buzzing or Plugged-up Feeling

It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellation technology. This means the annoying whistling and buzzing your uncle’s old hearing aids used to make is a thing of the past. In addition, the positioning of the hearing aid beyond the second bend in the ear canal is meant to work with the ear’s natural acoustics to deliver more precise and natural sound—and resolve that plugged-up or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint of many hearing aid wearers).

Are You Missing Too Much?

You’ve worked hard all your life. It’s time to be reaping some of that reward. Don’t let your hearing loss rob you of the things you enjoy most in life: the relationships with your friends and family. You can get help now without suffering the stigma of yesterday’s hearing aids.

My hearing ability had deteriorated so much that I found myself isolated from friends and coworkers, while my self-esteem, as well as my performance as an educator, as a public speaker, and as an amateur journalist, were seriously threatened...Your services have made a significant change in my life. You have brought me back to the person I used to be, and to the world I so much love.

The Christian Science Reading Room at 7853 Girard Ave. has been open at this location since 1965.

By Pat Sherman or more than four decades, people walking past the Christian Science Reading Room on Girard Avenue have peered inside quizzically, wondering what Christian Science is, and what takes place within its ubiquitous storefronts — of which their appears to be one on nearly every “Main Street” in America.

“They all want to know if we know Tom Cruise,” joked La Jolla resident and Christian Scientist Virginia DeGeneres, referring to Scientology’s celebrity defender-in-chief.

Like Scientology, the equally enigmatic Christian Science religion has its own high profile advocate in actor Val Kilmer (who, coincidentally, was Cruise’s on- and offscreen rival when they starred

together in the 1986 film, “Top Gun.”) Kilmer is currently producing a movie about Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, and author Mark Twain, who was one of the church’s most staunch critics.

criticizing Ms. Eddy,” said Pacific Beach resident and longtime Christian Scientist, Sheila Kelly.

Getting right with God Founded by Eddy in the late 1800s, Christian Science has been the target of much criticism — and misunderstanding, adherents say — largely due to the fact that Christian Scientists don’t, as a rule, visit a doctor when they’re sick (or, for that matter, believe that illness is anything more than an illusion that can be cured through prayer and a closer kinship with God). Christian Scientists believe the type of healing practiced by Jesus is possible today through prayer and communion with God. Baker was said to have founded Christian Science after being miraculously healed through prayer after a debilitating fall on the ice.

“She spent the next three years alone, just studying the Bible and praying — and she discovered the secret of how Jesus heals,” Kelly said. “It’s a

La Jolla’s annual Secret Garden Tour will take some new paths

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Linda Hutchinson “One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation,” said British author W. E. Johns. Local garden lovers will be able to experience this firsthand on Saturday, May 19 as they stroll through the 14th annual Secret Garden Tour of La Jolla.

Sponsored by the La Jolla Historical Society, the Secret Garden Tour allows participants to enjoy a variety of La Jolla gardens, normally hidden from view, in a variety of neighborhoods, from the coastline to the hills.

The event includes both a self-guided tour and a shuttle bus Platinum Tour. n The self-guided tour runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Participants check in at the Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St., to receive their program booklet with the locations of the six secret gardens, a map of the tour, and an ID wristband. The gardens can be visited in any order; visiting all six gardens takes approximately two-and-a-half hours.

Tickets are $40 for Histori-

Attendees tour a garden at last year’s event. cal Society members and $50 for non-members and can be purchased in advance or at the cottage on the day of the tour for $5 more. n The Platinum Tour begins at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, 9700 N. Torrey Pines Road at 9:15 a.m. and includes a tour of the hotel’s drought-tolerant garden and a brunch, followed by shuttle transportation to the gardens. The Platinum Tour includes one extra garden and docent guides. Tickets are $140 for Historical Society members and $150 for non-members and must be purchased by May 11. n New this year will be a focus on courtyard gar-

File

dens. The smaller courtyard garden, according to Garden Tour chair Penelope West, is one that is open to the sky, but enclosed by walls of the house, extending interior living space to include outdoor entertaining. It often features container and vertical, climbing plants and fountains and reflects the influence of travelers who brought ideas back from Mediterranean courtyard gardens. The courtyard gardens on the tour include many decorating ideas for entertaining.

One of the courtyards will be a re-purposed garden, which uses salvaged architectural pieces as part

of its design. The designers will be on hand to answer questions and sell many of the pieces. They include Terri Cornell of Majestic Floral, Barbara Gray and Krista Niskanen of Cottage White, and Lori Chandler and Karen Lampard of Vignettes.

In addition, two new vendors will be displaying and selling plants during the tour. These include orchid grower A. J. Floral Farms and succulent vendor Terri Cornell. Each garden will also include plant experts to answer questions and artists, photographers, and musicians, including painters Patricia Jasper-Clark and Andrea Gaye, pianist Anne Marie Haney, and violinist Victoria Martino.

“We hope all come out, it will be a wonderful tour,” said West. “It’s a great inspiration. People can relate to this and take ideas away.” n Another new part of the tour this year will be the addition of contemporary homes. To reflect this, the word “Old” was dropped from the name of the tour, which used to

When the idea for the Garden tour was developed in 1999 by members of the Historical Society, its main mission was to feature La Jolla’s unique architectural history.

But La Jolla’s unique architecture also includes many beautiful contemporary homes that reflect Southern California living, according to West.

The Secret Garden Tour is the Historical Society’s main fundraising event. Since the first tour 13 years ago with just a few organizers, it has grown to include more than 235 contributing volunteers.

“It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy our great variety of plants,” said the Society’s historian, Carol Olten, who also wrote the program guide. “We have such unique and exotic plant life with our Mediterranean climate, oceans and canyons. We can grow things here that they can’t in the Midwest or on the East Coast.”

“We have an interesting tradition,” she added. “We couldn’t really grow gardens here until the early 1900s when a fresh water supply became available. The only plants here were sage and sea lavender.”

The Last Supper: Romancing the Titanic’s Centennial

Kitchen Shrink

By Catherine Kaufman ne hundred years ago on a chilly evening of April 14, 721 third-class passengers on the RMS Titantic were having a jolly High Tea on the F Deck in their spartan saloon in “steerage.” Another 285 wayfarers were enjoying a hearty-yet-elegant meal in the second-class saloon; and 337 first-class passengers (including business magnate John Jacob Astor IV and socialite/philanthropist Molly Brown) all bedecked in extravagant bling, beaded evening gowns and crisp white tuxes as cool as the icy waters of the North Atlantic, were luxuriating in the firstclass dining room before a 10-course gustatory orgy.

As they reveled in the divine delights and waltzed to the rhythm of Wallace Hart-

O

ley’s band, little did they know this would be their last repast.

Titanic Fever has swept like a tsunamic wave over the nation as ghoulish dinner celebrations abound this week.

An authentic postcard-sized lunch menu retrieved from a Titanic survivor sold under Sotheby’s hammer for $49,500. But it was the 10-course feast served to first-class passengers that is being replicated around town.

All courses were served on fine English porcelain designed exclusively for the maiden voyage. The excess of food, drink and indulgences was a perfect storm for clogging the arteries, taxing the liver, spreading the hips, and shortening the life. How ironic.

The first course of assorted hors d’oeuvres and oysters was followed by a pair of hot soups — Consommé Olga and Cream of Barley.

A Poached Salmon with Mousseline Sauce and Cucumber Slices for pescavores was accompanied by Filet Mignons and Lilli Sauté of Chicken for die-hard carnivores; Lyonnaise Vegetable

The last dinner served aboard the Titanic for firstclass passengers featured a 10-course menu.

Marrow Farci for vegans.

More heavy protein was served during the fifth- course, including Roast Duckling with Applesauce, Lamb with Mint Sauce, and Sirloin of Beef complemented by Chateau Potatoes and Creamed Carrots.

This was punctuated by Punch Romaine Salad before the seventh- and eighthcourses of Roast Squab and Cress Cold Asparagus Vinaigrette. The penultimate course was Pate de Foie Gras, the final savory dish before sweet endings with Waldorf Pudding, Peaches in Chartreuse Jelly, Chocolate and Vanilla Éclairs, and French Ice Cream.

Each course was exquisitely paired with a different wine.

Fresh fruit and cheeses

were served post feast, topped off with coffee, cigars, port and distilled spirits. n The Prado at Balboa Park is collaborating with the San Diego Natural History Museum for an outrageous 10-course “Titanic Centennial First-Class Dinner” that replicates that last supper experience.

The salute to the Titanic takes place on Saturday, April 14 in the Prado Grand Ballroom, with guests served by a waitstaff dressed in Edwardian-era white tuxedo jackets and delighting in historically accurate dishes prepared by Executive Chef Jonathan Hale, perfectly paired with five wines. For more details, visit pradobalboa.com or call (619) 5579441. n The US Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego invites guests to embark on a firstclass luxury “Titanic Tea Experience,” which will include an honorary Champagne toast and strolling violinist reminiscent of the Ragtime-era. Inspired by delights served aboard the ocean liner, Executive Chef Mark Kropczynski will create a jolly good afternoon event with assorted looseleaf teas, and savory and sweet treats. For reservations, call (619) 744-2039.

Black Bean Soup topped with sour cream and cheddar is a standard option.

Along with the year-round core menu, there are seasonal specialties. In the fall, there is a Butternut Squash & Wild Mushroom Lasagna with truffle essence, thyme and imported cheese over a light Gorgonzola sauce; in the spring, the entree’s main ingredients shift to artichokes and spring peas.

The lasagna comes from a family recipe, Ciuffa revealed. “It’s a promise I made to my mother to keep them,” he said.

The café also has a kids’ menu with items like grilled cheese and sliders.

Ciuffa recommends dining al fresco and ordering a glass of wine, with selections from Italy, California and New Zealand.

“Don’t come in a hurry — enjoy the environment,” he said.

The youngest winner to date was a 10-yearold; the 2011 winners range in age from 11 to 18.

This year, as part of their annual New Play Festival, they are also presenting productions of scripts by adults over age 55 who have been learning to dramatize their life experiences in a series of workshops led by Playwrights Project founder Deborah Salzer.

June Gottleib, one of four senior writers whose work will be shown in rotation with Plays by Young Writers, said the idea for her piece, “Changing Roles/My Year of Being Alone,” came from an exercise in one of the Lifestages workshops.

“We had to do a ‘quick write’ on a variety of important events in our lives, and I selected the very last event I wrote down — my year of being alone after losing my spouse to dementia,” she said. “At first, I really didn’t want to write it, because it contained a lot of fresh and difficult emotions, but it kept calling out to me. I went through a number of drafts

Winners of Playwrights Project’s 2011 California Young Playwrights Contest — Eric Pak, Matthew Maceda, Kira Nolan, Nachi Baru and Caleb Roitz — will have their plays performed at the Lyceum Theatre this month.

■ Tickets: $9-$20

The 2011 winners are all from San Diego. “We didn’t plan it that way, of course, but that’s how it turned out,” said Playwrights Project Executive Director Cecilia Kouma. “So they’ve been very active in the whole preproduction process.”

Since mid-December, 16-year-old Nachi Baru, whose play, “American Idyll,” presents a futuristic world that is anything but idyllic, has been working with Deborah Salzer as his

Among the youngest of this year’s winning young writers — and the only female — is 13-year-old Kira Nolan, who attends The Bishop’s School in La Jolla and has been writing for most of her life. “The Eccentric Flight of a Fly,” written when she was 12, will be her second appearance in the New Play Festival, where her play “Russet,” was presented last year.

“I actually swallowed a fly, and that gave me the idea of a girl with a fly inside her head, controlling her mind and making her lose control of her body,” said the playwright. “She has a pet dog, too, for comic relief.”

dramaturg. Caleb Rotiz, now 19, is working with dramaturg Shirley Fishman, direc-

tor of play development at La Jolla Playhouse.

There’s some border-cross-

ing in the themes of the young and older playwrights.

“Caleb’s play, ‘Hallowed,’ about an old man who has decided it’s his time to die, is beautiful, poetic, and very insightful about issues of aging,” Kouma said. “And Topper Birdsall’s play, ‘Wahoo,’ is about being young. One is looking forward, one is looking back. It’s so exciting to watch these plays come together, and I’m so impressed by how thoughtful and creative all the writers are!”

his” could be the story of many experiencing relationship problems or trying to move on after a tragedy. Melissa James Gibson’s acclaimed play begins with friends Marrell (Judith Scott), Alan (Andrew Abelson), Tom (Richard Baird) and Jean Pierre (Matt Thompson) trying to entice Jane (Courtney Corey) into playing a game. After many objections, she relents and the result is one none of them expected.

As the curtain rises …

honest dialogue, but also plenty of time for each character to wallow in his/ her own unfulfilled life. A touch of humor is sprinkled in here and there to keep things bearable.

Although the characters are self-centered and hard to emphasize with, the clever dialogue and how proficient each cast member is in making it his/her own, counter balances that flaw.

Part of that accolade goes to director Kirsten Brandt who knew exactly what she wanted out of her cast.

Scott (“Doubt,” “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner”) has no problem letting the audience know she’s bored with a husband who no longer wants intimacy, and yet is focused on making life normal for her new baby.

Baird (NCRT’s “The Lion in Winter,” San Diego based Shakespeare troupe “Measure for Measure”) does a great job as a man so focused on what he wants that he can’t see his own deficiencies at home.

Jane is all over the place with her highs and lows, and Corey (NCRT’s “Lend Me A Tenor,” “Over the Tavern”) is superb in handling the inconsistencies.

Jean Pierre is the outsider who has easy answers for all

FROM CHRISTIAN SCIENCE, B1 science that she discovered. It’s always going on, except you had to be spiritually minded to discern it.”

The Christian Science emblem features a crown and cross and the words, “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons” (from Matthew chapter 10, verse 8 of the Bible).

“We come to learn in Christian Science that it’s God’s will for us to be well,” said reading room librarian Christine Welton. “That He sent his Son for three years, healing every kind of discord or disease that would confront Him, is to me very clear evidence that it is God’s will for us to be well, happy, provided for and content.”

Adherents say the “science” behind Christian Science isn’t as fanciful as some make it out to be.

They cite studies that affirm the power of positive thinking, or of people who have been healed when a placebo is administered in lieu of an actual pharmaceutical drug.

“There are loads of studies these days (showing) how thinking affects our body, how hatred isn’t

Welton added, “It’s basic metaphysics. What you choose to hold onto in your thinking and in your heart — the old grudges and the old resentments — does have a way of almost magnetizing more (negativity). Christian Science is very big on cleansing ourselves from holding onto erroneous, negative thoughts about ourselves and about others.”

country, including the one at 7853 Girard Ave. Reading rooms provide a comfy space where people can pray or relax on couches and read from numerous volumes containing accounts of what adherents claim to be modern-day faith healings.

The group also sells a number of Christian Science literature for adults and children, as well as DVDs on Christian Science, including some narrated by Kilmer.

A quiet space for reflection For spiritual guidance, practitioners rely on the teachings of the Bible and Ms. Eddy’s companion text, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.”

Together, Christian Scientists refer to the texts as their “pastor.”

These texts and many other resources are available at Christian Science reading rooms across the

“It’s one of our two most important forms of outreach to the community, providing this quiet environment that is conducive to healing and de-stressing,” Welton said of the reading rooms. “One of our visitors works at one of the stores nearby and comes in on her break once in a while … to get de-stressed.

“It’s a place where all the concerns and distractions at home — like the drooping plants or the telephone ringing — all of that is eliminated. It’s a place where you can just get close to God and listen for his guidance, his directives in your life.”

credits Christian Science with curing her “debilitating” hay fever. “From then on, that was it. I just knew there was nothing else.”

Historical perspective According to Carol Olten, a historian with the La Jolla Historical Society, Christian Science took root in La Jolla in 1903, when a couple women began meeting for Sunday service at the Cave Street home of Jane Easton.

The group later moved the service to Easton’s home at 1415 Torrey Pines Road.

Thumbing through the society’s old phone books, Olten said Christian Science appears to have been a “very big deal” in the early 20th century, with many people listed in the book as official “Christian Science practitioners,” or those who provide spiritual treatment through prayer.

The church has grown and relocated several times since then, with its reading room perched above La Jolla Cove at 1021 Prospect St. for three decades. The reading room was relocated to its present location on Girard Avenue in 1965, and was renovated in the mid1980s by local architect James Alcorn, including the addition of a rotunda near its entry door.

Exercise and Parkinson’s Disease Over the last several years, numerous studies have confirmed that exercise is extremely beneficial for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Weight training and riding a stationary bike have been proven to reduce stiffness, slowness, and tremors.Tai Chi and balance exercises have been shown to help with gait and mobility.

Some evidence suggests that exercise may do more than boost strength and balance - it may actually protect brain cells from degeneration and make Parkinson’s medications work better.

From newly diagnosed patients, to those with advanced PD, it is never too late to start.

Ability Rehab specializes in treating individuals with neurological deficits like Parkinson’s disease.

We can help determine the type of exercise and intensity that is most appropriate for your symptoms, fitness level and overall health. Our experienced therapists will design a program to address gait difficulties, dynamic balance, flexibility, strength, proprioception and compensatory strategies. If you or someone you know has Parkinson’s disease, call to schedule an evaluation today.

P.S. Please stop by our table at the “Fighting Parkinson’s Step

By Step” event on Saturday 4/21/12 @ Liberty Station in Point Loma. Visit http://pasd. donorpages.com/stepbystep/ for more information.

Cygnet Theatre offers glimpse Rescue Committee will host benefit film fest into the great Thoreau with ‘Ripples from Walden Pond’ Cygnet Theatre in Old Town will present “Ripples from Walden Pond,” a one-man show about Henry David Thoreau, the philosopher/author who found his place in the world by refusing to allow the world to find its place in him.

The script, written by Richard Platt, stars Francis Gercke, under the direction of Eric Poppick.

Show times are 7:30 p.m.

April 16, 17, 23 and 24, at 4040 Twiggs St., San Diego.

Tickets, priced from $44, are available at cygnettheatre.com Thoreau or (619) 337-1525.

Production program notes point out, “By 1854, 37-year-old Harvard-educated Henry David Thoreau had written what would become one of the most reprinted and influential political essays in history

— and no one knew it. He had published his masterpiece, “Walden,” one of the few books of 19th-century American literature that can claim indisputable status as a classic — and no one read it.

“Thoreau is the quintessential American archetype: selfreliant, blunt, hostile to rank and privilege, unwilling to accept any philosophy as true without the test of implementation, and above all fiercely and passionately steadfast in his insistence that government exists for the benefit of the governed, that its power is derived from the consent of the governed, and that each man is the equal of every other man and superior to any government. ‘Ripples from Walden Pond’ is an account of the questions he asked, and the answers he lived.”

‘Parade’ takes the stage The San Diego Center for Jewish Culture’s “Look & Listen” series travels to Cygnet Theatre in Old Town for a performance of “Parade” at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 21.

The Tony Award-winning score tells the true story of Jewish factory manager, Leo Frank, accused and convicted in 1913 of murdering 13-year-old Mary Phagan in Atlanta, Ga. The story explores the deep love that grows between Leo and his wife, Lucille, as they work together to fight for his freedom.

Camp experience enriches lives and boosts self-esteem

San Diego Tennis and Racquet Club

Camp provides children with a community of caring adults, who nurture experiential education that results in self-respect and appreciation for human value.

All of the outcomes — self-identity, self-worth, self-esteem, leadership and self-respect — build personal competencies. These personal competencies are reflected in the four “C’s” of the camp community: compassion, contribution, commitment, and character! For years, campers’ parents have reported that when their children return home from camp they are more caring, understand the importance of giving, are more equipped to stand up for what they know is right, and are willing to be more responsible. These are the qualities that will help build a successful nation and a civil society.

Camp professionals have enormous power in conveying simple teachable moments — special moments of passing experiences touched by the human spirit.

Camp helps children grow by providing a supervised, positive environment that has safety as a primary commitment.

Angel Lopez Tennis Academy at San Diego Tennis and Racquet Club runs one of the most successful tennis camps in Southern California. The camps are under the direction of USPTA Master Professional Angel Lopez, who is the Director of Tennis at SDTRC and has been teaching tennis at the club for 33 years.

PET CONNECTION Coco has never greeted a member of our staff with anything less than an enthusiastic wagging of her tail.

This sweet girl was recently chosen to help with one of our youth education demonstrations, “How to Meet a Dog.” Coco had a blast receiving all the attention and treats, and sweetly offered kisses of gratitude to the Girl Scouts as they learned the appropriate behavior when approaching a canine. Coco is full of love, now all she needs is a special home where she can spend her golden years sharing it. Her adoption fee includes her spay, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, a certificate for a free veterinary exam, and a license if residing in Oceanside or Vista! Coco’s special medical needs will be covered and explained by her adoptions counselor. Coco may also be a perfect match for the San Diego Humane Society’s Seniors for Seniors Program.

Paseo La Jolla to hold hard hat tour New luxury townhome community Paseo La Jolla will host a Hard Hat Tour from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on on April 15 at 1056 Pearl St., No. 1, where guests can see the progress of the homes. Refreshments will be served on the rooftop deck of the future model home.

All feature California coastal-style architecture, with craftsman, stucco and stone accents.

Board says land in La Jolla is always a sure bet!

From REBA Reports A number of years ago, a REBA (Real Estate Brokers Association) member was vacationing with his family in the blustery, bitterly cold Highlands of Scotland. It was August.

Seeking shelter and a heavy sweater inside a shop selling fine woolens, he was approached by a well-dressed clerk.

“Ah, and you must be Yanks. And where in America would ye be from?

“Southern California, ye say? And what town?”

When he was told, “A small place called La Jolla,” the clerk immediately exclaimed, “La Jolla?” (And he pronounced it correctly — unexpected from a Scotsman.)

“On days like this, when the rain is blowing sideways, La Jolla is the place we dream

FROM 10 Questions, B1 Who inspires you?

People who devote their lives to helping others inspire me.

I would send invitations to President and Mrs. Obama, Sean Penn, Tiger Woods, Elizabeth Warren, Barney Frank, Bono and Hillary Clinton.

What are your five favorite movies?

“Phantom of the Paradise,” “Almost Famous,” “Casablanca,” “The Usual Suspects,” and “Body Heat.”

of, here in the shop. We had a customer bring us pictures of his home, there by the sea, with the palm trees and sunny skies. And you live there. Do you know how lucky you are?”

Occasionally, an outside opinion reminds us of how La Jolla is perceived in other places. Taking the long view, owning property here is a good move, especially as we work out way our of the roller-coaster market of the Great Recession. According to REBA statistics, the average price of La Jolla homes sold in 1970 was $61,000. In 1990, it had moved up to $829,000. In 2011, the average sale price was $1,828,258.

Somewhere, that Scottish clerk is probably wishing today that he had sold up and bought here back in 1986, when he met the Realtor from REBA.
