Pillars of the Community

Rec Center board spearheads repair of 100-year-old fence Hard court championships start today in La Jolla, A21

Time to start planning for vacation fun, B20

By Pat Sherman Renovations to 39 historic fence pillars along the perimeter of the La Jolla Rec Center grounds were finished late last month. The $75,000 project was completed with money raised by former La Jollan Walt Hall, considered the patron saint of fundraising for La Jolla’s parks and recreation venues. “He went around from one business to another and raised a lot of funds for us,” said Schroeder of Hall, who has since left the area. Ellen Browning Scripps inaugurated the recreation center and its adjacent playground — designed by renowned architect Irving Gill — in July 1915. “We felt like the pillars had been neglected for the last 50 or 60 years,” said Hobe Schroeder, treasurer of La

Jolla Parks and Recreation, Inc. In the past, Schroeder said, the city periodically patched up cracks and holes in the pillars without regard to the original design. “They looked terrible,” Schroeder said. “The patch didn’t match. It looked absolutely horrendous, and the city didn’t have any money to restore them.” Some sections of the pillars were damaged down to the steel rebar, which had rusted and expanded in some areas, forcing cracks in the concrete. Doug Fitzgerald, president of La Jolla Parks and Recreation, Inc., said it is believed that the pillars were at one time crowned with urns, possibly to hold flowers. “There were (drainage) holes in the

HOSPITAL DRAMA

Doctor pens book on the history, legacy of Scripps Health By Kathy Day ho better to write a book about the history of Scripps Health and its effect on San Diego than a woman who says she “grew up” at Scripps? And what better title than “Good Company” to reflect the quality of the people who helped put the organization on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list five times, said Chris Van Gorder, CEO of the health system that stretches from North County to South County. “Our history and legacy is very important,” he said last week. “We are the oldest healthcare organization in San Diego, founded by two very generous women – Mother Mary Michael Cummings and Ellen Browning Scripps. I didn’t want to see it lost.” Van Gorder said he also wanted a history

book that is about people “because our strength is our people.” So he turned to Rancho Santa Fe resident Sarita Eastman, M.D., a former pediatrician whose mother, Anita Figuerdo, was San Diego’ first female surgeon and whose father was a pediatrician. “I’ve occupied nearly every role,” Eastman said, sitting in her home office with a shelf above her computer lined with neatly organized binders for each of the Scripps hospitals and books about each of the communities where they are located. The second of nine children and the oldest girl, Eastman was 2 when her family moved to a home on La Jolla’s Coast Walk, between the original Scripps Hospital and Metabolic Clinic and the ocean. “As an adolescent I went in the operating room with my mom and did neonatal rounds with my dad,” she recalled. During summer vacations, Eastman worked as a research assistant at Scripps Clinic. After graduating from medical school at the University of California San Francisco, she returned to work at Scripps Hospital. When she married, it was to a member of the Scripps Health family – Brent Eastman, M.D., who is the organization’s chief medical officer and corporate senior vice president. He is a general, vascular and trauma surgeon renowned for his work in trauma and emergency surgical care. Eastman, who spent 20 years writing the book about her mother, spent the last 20 months researching and writing “Good Comany,” which arrived at her house on May 1 — just four days before its unveiling on May 5 at the Scripps Legacy Celebration. Hers is a paperback, but guests at the event were to receive leather-bound copies. Eastman said Van Gorder gave her the liberty to organize the book any way she wanted. As it came together, it took the form of

FROM FENCE, A1 pillars and the rain used to go right down into the pillars,” he said. About $50,000 for the pillars went to Pomonabased Spectra Company, which specializes in historic renovations. Another $25,000, including $9,000 from the city of San Diego, went to South Bay Fence, for replacement of the chain link fence. The work was done in accordance with Secretary of the Interior standards for the treatment of historic properties, said project manager Reuben Lombardo of Spectra Company. “The main point is to maintain as much of the historic fabric as possible,” Lombardo said. “You never get it exact, but your goal is to strive to get that feel of the original piece. … There should also be a way to determine what the original historic fabric was and the due repair,” he said. La Jolla Historical Society Interim Executive Director Trip Bennett, an architect, and structural engineer Peter Curry, served as pro-bono consultants on the project.

Courtesy photos From Eastman, A3 internal struggles Scripps Health faced in the 1990s, when there were five different chief executive officers in five years or when they were working to merge the cultures of Scripps Hospital with the Mercy Hospital facilities in 1995, Eastman said. She turned often to her husband to get the “back story.” Having been chief medical officer since 1996, he “knew all the nuances and players in the middle of the maelstrom,” she said. “Chris, to his credit, wanted the full and true story. This is not an ad for Scripps Health.” The book even deals with the struggles between Scripps Memorial and Scripps Clinic. “They were divorced in the ‘40s and remarried three times,” she said. Eastman describes the Sarita Eastman book as a “cross section of views of Scripps from all stakeholders – physicians, nurses, administrators, board members, volunteers and some

patients.” She talked to many people around during the mergers and tough times, as well as those who recall the simpler days when Scripps was on Prospect Street in La Jolla. She talked to the founders of Bay General Hospital in Chula Vista, which joined Scripps Memorial in 1986, and with people involved with Scripps Encinitas, which was San Dieguito Hospital until 1978. The role of The Scripps Research Institute is a piece of the puzzle, too, since it was part of Scripps Health until the mid 1990s when it became independent. Michael Marletta, the new CEO there, said he wants to renew the relationship. Eastman said she feels fortunate to have been writing her book “at a time of great hope and enthusiasm” for Scripps Health, and praised Van Gorder for his idea to publish it. “It was his wish that if we all knew and shared our history, then we would feel like one organization,” she said.

Important Safety Considerations for Restylane Restylane should not be used by people with previous bad allergies, particularly to microorganisms known as gram-positive bacteria, or by people with serious allergies to drugs that have previously required in-hospital treatment. Restylane should not be used by people with bleeding disorders. Use of Restylane at the site of skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infection should be postponed until healing is complete. In these instances, Restylane use could delay healing or make your skin problems worse. After treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, or tenderness. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 7 days in nasolabial folds and less than 14 days in lips. Swelling may be more likely in patients under 36 years, and bruising may be more likely in patients over 35 years. Rarely, the doctor may inject into a blood vessel, which can damage the skin. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. If you have had facial cold sores before, an injection can cause an outbreak. To avoid bruising and bleeding, you should not use Restylane if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting. Restylane should not be used during pregnancy, when breastfeeding, or in patients under 18 years for nasolabial folds. Treatment volume should be limited to 6.0 mL in wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and limited to 1.5 mL per lip, as greater amounts significantly increase moderate and severe injection site reactions. The safety or effectiveness of treatment in areas other than nasolabial folds and lips has not been established in controlled clinical studies. Restylane is available only through a licensed practitioner. Complete product and safety information is available at www.RestylaneUSA.com.

Navy SEAL decides to become a writer and pen his memoirs By Kelley Carlson hen former U.S. Navy SEAL Sniper Course Manager Brandon Webb decided to write his latest book, he had a mission: to have his young children one day read about his experiences and understand why he had been away. The memoir, “The Red Circle,” now on the New York Times bestseller list, details Webb’s ventures that led him to becoming a Navy SEAL and his eventual work designing post-9/11 sniper training courses. It also covers his transition to life as a private entrepreneur. Though Webb has lived in La Jolla for the last 15 years, he originally hails from Canada. At age 7, his family moved to the United States, residing on a boat in Ventura Harbor. When he was 16, Webb was involved in a fight with his father and thrown out of the “house” — a small vessel anchored off Tahiti. His 6,000-mile journey back to California — which he accomplished without a driver’s license — helped lay the foundation for his successful military career. In 1993, Webb joined the Navy, where he initially served as an Aviation Warfare Systems Operator and Search and Rescue Swimmer. He went on to complete Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training with class 215. Brought to Coronado as a SEAL in 1997, Webb was involved in combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. After his last deployment with SEAL Team Three, he worked at the Naval Special Warfare Group One Sniper Cell. Webb said that during this time, he and some other SEALs were approached about helping to revamp the sniper program to “bring it into the 21st century.” For Webb, it eventually became a full-time job, and he took over as head instructor of the sniper course at the end of 2003. More than 300 SEAL sniper students grad-

One of them was Chris Kyle, the most decorated sniper in USSOCOM (U.S. Special Operations Command), with more than 250 confirmed kills. Another of Webb’s trainees was Marcus Luttrell, lone survivor among the dozen SEALs who were a part of the ill-fated Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. The following year, Webb’s career with the Navy came to a close, and for a short period, he performed contract work with an intelligence agency in Iraq. But after years spending large amounts of time away from his family, Webb decided a change was in order. “My first son was born ... while I was chasing bad guys in caves in Afghanistan,” Webb said. “It was time for me to spend time with

my family.” With his own entrepreneurial parents as an inspiration, Webb chose to attend business classes. It was there where he discovered he had a knack for writing through which he could better express himself. “I found I was good at it,” Webb said. He gained experience as a contributing editor for Military.com, and then merged his business and literary skills into SOFREP.com, or Special Operations Forces Situation Report, where he currently serves as editor-inchief. The site launched Feb. 1, and contains up-to-date information about the Special Operations community. Among the features at SOFREP.com is an online show titled “Inside the Team Room,” which debuted April 19.

Operations heroes. Before heading his own website, Webb decided to give book writing a shot. Two years ago, he co-wrote “The 21st Century Sniper” with Glen Doherty, a technical publication that provides tips and basic training required for aspiring marksmen. His most recent book, “The Red Circle,” was released on April 10, and debuted on the New York Times’ bestseller list in its first week. According to Webb, his desire to write it was inspired by Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture,” a speech about achieving childhood dreams, which later became a book. Although Pausch had been diagnosed with terminal cancer shortly before the lecture, he focused on living and overcoming obstacles. “I saw how powerful of a message it was,” Webb said. It was one he wanted to pass on to his family, relating it to his own experiences as a SEAL. “This is my first real serious literary foray,” Webb said. The author is already hard at work on two more books: one focusing on business, the other discussing the best sniper schools in the world. Of course, the SEALs are at the top, Webb said. Webb recently established the Red Circle Foundation, in which proceeds from fundraisers and donations go to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and the Navy SEAL Foundation. With all of his activities, Webb still manages to find leisure time. He is a member of the WindanSea Surf Club, and is also a free diver, private pilot and open ocean swimmer. “I love La Jolla — La Jolla is my home,” Webb said. “I’m proud to be a part of this community.”

A special cake was prepared for the 100th Anniversary of Boy Scout Troop 4 — La Jolla. Courtesy By Dave Schwab Boy Scout Troop 4 of La Jolla — the oldest troop west of the Mississippi — celebrated its 100th anniversary with a group photo and birthday cake in La Jolla Presbyterian Church’s courtyard, where the troop meets weekly. The actual “birth date” of Troop 4 is May 1, 1912. According to leaders, the celebration will continue through the year with various service projects and events, and culminate Saturday, Nov. 24, with a catered dinner for past and present Scouts, and their parents. Currently, the troop, which serves ages 1118, has more than 40 active Scouts and numerous others, mostly Eagle Scouts, who pay dues to remain part of the fun. “There’s a lot of history, heritage and tradition here,” said Scoutmaster Denis Tarakjian. “Boy Scouts strives to help its members develop as young men, and this troop also tries to instill civic values in its charges, so they become responsible citizens who appreciate and enjoy nature while respecting the outdoors.” To this end, Scouts, especially “Eagles”, engage in service projects to help the com-

munity. Recently, the troop volunteered at the La Jolla Half Marathon race that raises more than $200,000 annually for local charities. At the troop’s 75th birthday, one of the original Scouts, Bert Wilber, told the group that in his day, Scouts wore old breeches and puttees, high-necked jackets and hobnail boots. He also remembered that in the early 20th century, Troop 4 camped in such “far away” places as Mount Soledad and Torrey Pines. The modern Troop 4 is more likely to be white water rafting the Kern River, heading to summer camp in Emerald Bay on Catalina Island, and taking off for a week of high adventure camping and hiking in the Sierras. What accounts for Troop 4’s longevity? “I think the values that the Boy Scouts embody, and the fact that we’ve had very strong support from our sponsoring institutions, La Jolla Presbyterian Church and La Jolla Kiwanis Club,” said Troop Committee Chairman Harry Hixon, noting the organization’s values: Be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. “Those are timeless values and that’s what we stand for,” Hixon said.

FROM SHERRY AHERN, A1 immersed themselves in the cause 12 years ago, when their then 10-year-old son, Brendan, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes — a chronic condition characterized by unusually high shifts in blood sugar. “We went straight to Children’s Hospital and he was in intensive care for a week,” Ahern recalled. “To be seen by a doctor at Children’s, because there were only a few, you could wait easily for four hours.” Type 1 diabetes can be fatal if not managed with frequent insulin treatments. “It’s not hour to hour; it’s minute to minute,” Ahern said. “It is a nasty, nasty disease. Like any parent, I would take it from him in one second if I could.” Ahern and her husband delved into diabetes fundraising within a month of their son’s diagnosis in 1999, joining the board of the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute, where they remained for 10 years. They currently serve on the board of La Jolla’s Pediatric Diabetes Research Center (PDRC), which they helped establish a couple of years ago

The PDRC is currently housed in a building owned by Winkler on the campus of UC San Diego, and includes a research facility, under the auspices of Dr. Alberto Hayek, one of the world’s leading pediatric endocrinologists. The PDRC board is in negotiations to partner with City of Hope, and will relocate PDRC’s research facility to a larger building

that will include a center for the treatment of pediatric diabetes. The building, set to open in 2016, will be made possible by a donation from Qualcomm President Steve Altman and his wife, Lisa. Ahern said there are currently only a couple of physicians in private practice locally who treat type 1, or juvenile, diabetes. The only other treatment option is Rady Children’s Hospital, she said. City of Hope spokesperson Robyn Hima said Ahern’s vision of research institutes working collaboratively and sharing information to find a cure for diabetes appealed to the charitable organization.

Brendan, Sherry, Brianna and Kevin Ahern Courtesy “City of Hope at any one time has collaborations with over 200 medical institutions across the United States, so it’s a good fit,” Hima said. “We heard that Sherry hadn’t been honored in the community before and she does so much for so many. We wanted to thank her for what she has done.” Ahern recalls sleeping with one eye open during her son’s teen years — a time when rising hormone levels are accompanied by drastic fluctuations in a diabetic’s blood sugar levels. “If your blood sugars go too high or too low you can die

— and very quickly,” Ahern said. “Even if you’re doing everything right, you can still be in a position to have either one of those things happen.” Other possible complications related to diabetes include blindness, amputations, heart problems and neuropathy. “It eventually wears down your organs,” Ahern said. Ahern’s son, who was captain of the football team at Francis Parker High School, is now a senior at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where he also plays football. “He’s doing very well,” his

mother said. “He’s wearing a continuous monitor on his abdomen that he changes out once a week, (which feeds) his blood sugars 24/7. It gives him much better control of his diabetes. “We’ve made a lot of strides and I’m praying that in my son’s lifetime there will be a cure — or at least a treatment that will work for a long time.” Ahern is also known for her work with the Riford Center and Helen Woodward Animal Center. In 1998 she founded La Jolla’s Open Aire Market, which raises money for La Jolla Elementary School.

Giant kelp forest off La Jolla provides a rich habitat

Natural La Jolla By Kelly Stewart

ust offshore, we have one of the most productive habitats on Earth that supports extremely high biodiversity. The giant kelp forests of Southern California are dominated by two large brown algae species, the giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) and bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana). Giant kelp grows along rocky coastlines in cool, nutrient-rich waters at depths of up to 90 feet. Attached to the rocky seafloor by a holdfast, which somewhat resemble aboveground roots, kelp rises up through the water column supported by tiny air bladders (pneumatocysts) at the base of each blade.

Once it reaches the surface, it forms a broad canopy with a rich habitat below the surface. Giant kelp thrives in clear water that gets a lot of sunlight, and must always have a wave surge to keep it healthy, so Southern California is a perfect environment. Kelp may grow up to 2 feet per day, making it one of the quickest growing organisms on Earth. Kelp forests are home to many fish and invertebrates that depend on the productivity of the forest for food, shelter and survival. Seals and sea lions use the mysterious tall forests as a refuge from predators; gray whales have even been spotted within the kelp forest, presumably avoiding killer whales. Other animals may seek out kelp forests during storms because kelp helps dissipate the energy from waves, thus making a more stable environment. On the surface of the ocean, kelp looks only like a lifeless brown mat, but for those lucky enough to venture down into the water column, there exists a magical and peaceful green-lit world populated by many cryptic creatures.

At the bottom of the sea, the holdfast clings to the rocky substrate to keep the kelp in place.

fascinating aspect of owning a Business is the dynamic and always changing relationship you develop with your employees, both past and present. I am humbled when I think of all the talented people who have occupied this little space in Birdrock. Everyone has had a hand in molding the face of this firm. I smile when I think about all the different personalities and the exciting and sobering moments we have shared. In the twenty-five years on my own and the ten years prior working for others, I have survived several upturns and downturns. Upsizing and downsizing the firm is always a challenge. The analogy is like the fairy tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The porridge is like staffing; it is either too hot or too cold. You are either understaffed or overstaffed. The period where everything is just right lasts about two days. Nothing is ever static and the sooner you understand this the better you are able to adapt to a new landscape. Unfortunately the best employees, it seems, are destined to

leave and start their own firm. I now find myself on occasion, competing with them for projects and wishing them car troubles prior to their interview. Despite my temporary insecurity, I want them all to succeed. I know they are all responsible for my success and so it is only right I support theirs. Thank you to all those who have worked for me and with me over the years. I wish you all great success.

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.

UCSD wins bid for Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination By Dave Schwab Imagine studying imagination. Academics will be doing exactly that when UC San Diego teams up with the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation to establish the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination (ACCCHI) at the university. The new center, like its namesake, the late British sciencefiction author, inventor and futurist best known for having penned “2001: A Space Odyssey,” plans to not only stretch the boundaries of imagination, but reassess and redefine them as well. “The objective is to both study human imagination — the neurological aspects, where it occurs in the brain, how we can enhance, accelerate it — as well as understand how imagination figures into the way we, as human beings, exist in the world,” said Sheldon Brown, professor of media arts at UCSD, who will be Clarke Center’s inaugural director. “We use imagination constantly in very small-grained ways, as well as having a very large scope, imagining (like Clarke) possible Sheldon alternative futures and alternative worlds.” Brown The Clarke Center will span disciplines and collaborations among institutions and individuals across communities and continents, in fields such as technology, education, engineering, health, science, industry, environment, entertainment and the arts. Brown said the center, to be launched in fall 2012, will initially be housed at two UCSD facilities — the Caltit2 information and technologies center and the Visual Arts Department’s Structural Materials and Engineering building. “Depending on how things proceed will determine whether or not we develop its own separate building,” said Brown. “For a start, we’re focusing on developing a programmatic agenda.” Brown said programming will include public lectures and conferences, as well as support of specific research projects. Some programs will involve lab work and interdisciplinary study, both on and off campus — all exploring the phenomenon of imagination. “A number of excellent universities responded to our request for proposals to become the home of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination,” said Tedson Meyers, chairman of the Clarke Foundation. “But UCSD made the most compelling case. Its top-flight research resources, facili-

ties, and academic excellence in multidisciplinary collaborations, within the UC system and beyond, are ideally suited to approach the potential of human imagination from a wide range of perspectives.” Meyers said UCSD faculty provide “a practical as well as theoretical framework to put imagination under a microscope, to find its historic limits and go beyond them, and to promote or restore its positive use in education, commerce, science, social change and more.” “Clearly ACCCHI will also put Sir Arthur’s spirit back to work in a significant way,” Meyers added.

Quotable Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (1917–2008) For many years, Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Clarke were known as the “Big Three” of science fiction. Queen Elizabeth II knighted Clarke in 1998.

La Jolla High sophomore finds outlet to satisfy her need for speed By Pat Sherman Taylor Bertrand, a 15-year-old honor roll student and ace athlete at La Jolla High School, has added one more item to her list of passions — off-road racing. “It’s really different from everything else I do,” said Taylor, a sophomore member of La Jolla High’s top-ranking varsity water polo team. As a starting pitcher for the girls’ varsity softball team in her freshman year, Taylor had a batting average of more than .800. She also enjoys soccer, rock climbing and snowboarding. But nothing compares to the thrill of strapping into her limited buggy, off-road vehicle with its 1600 cc Volkswagen engine, hitting a dirt track at speeds of up to 70 miles per hour. “It’s really fast-paced and exhilarating — like a rush of excitement,” Taylor said. “You’re kind of nervous just waiting for (the race to start), but once you’re out on the track it’s totally fine. All you have to do is just focus on finishing and, you know, staying out of all the carnage.” In her short time racing, Taylor has experienced her share of “carnage,” competing against male and female drivers more than twice her age. During a practice round last month, another racer drove her off-course and she broke an axle. While competing in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series in Lake Elsinore April 24, her engine blew out. But never fear, says her mother, Jennifer Bertrand, Taylor doesn’t let setbacks hold her down. “She’s always been a super athletic, really adventurous person,” Bertrand said. After her engine blowout, Taylor was back the next day, finishing the race 16th out of 20. “I think three or four (drivers) couldn’t finish because they flipped or something happened that they didn’t expect,” Taylor

said. “My only goal was to finish.” To avoid obstacles and stay in the game, Taylor and other racers rely on spotters — people who sit in the stands and offer them advice about track conditions via a headset. “You’re completely strapped in and you can’t turn your head or look at anything around you like when you normally drive,” Taylor said. “Your spotter tells you who’s coming up on your left or right, or if there’s a wreck in front of you. If somebody flipped and you get stuck in it, you’re out, too. You just have to watch for everything; you always have to be prepared for it.” Taylor finished her debut race last fall in the middle of the pack — after learning how to drive a stick shift for the first time earlier that day. She was exposed to the sport watching her mother’s fiancé, Randy Minnier, compete in a larger, faster vehicle. They now compete on the same day, albeit in a different class. “She’s a little fish in a real big pond now,”

Minnier said. “It’s a little intimidating, but she’s doing really well. … She’s getting better.” One thing is certain: Taylor will never find herself helpless by the roadside with a flat tire. Her emersion in the sport has taught her about fixing cars — everything from changing spark plugs to working on engines. “It’s a cool learning experience,” she said. Minnier said the most important thing Taylor is learning is to be organized and patient. “That’s really key,” he said, “otherwise you’ll forget things and something will not get done right.” Patience and vigilance are crucial to staying in the race — whether avoiding ruts that can catch a tire and cause a vehicle to roll, or resisting the urge to get caught up in aggressively defensive maneuvers. “(Other drivers) have been real aggressive with her,” Minnier said. “If you’re patient and watch, people will end up taking themselves out. Wait until they make mistakes and then make a good move.”

In some divisions, off-road racers are as young as 8 years old, though they race in smaller, slower kart-type vehicles. The average speed of drivers in Taylor’s class is about 55 miles per hour. “Any time you’re in a race car there’s a concern for safety, but … they really take great care in how you’re protected,” Bertrand said. When not racing or playing sports, Taylor can be found volunteering with the National Charity League, a mother/daughter organization that delivers meals to seniors, helps at animal shelters and serves meals to the homeless. In November, Taylor and Minnier will compete in the Lucas Oil Regional Off Road Series in Las Vegas. “I definitely want to get a scholarship in water polo and then go to college, and then hopefully go into sports medicine and physical therapy,” said Taylor of her plans for the future, which, naturally, include more racing.

The ClearChoice team of specialists provides 21st century solutions to people struggling with dentures or bad teeth.

WHY SUFFER WITH DENTURES? For centuries, removable false teeth, or dentures, have been used to replace missing teeth. But denture-wearers report that many undesirable side effects come along with this less-than-ideal solution: Dentures are uncomfortable to wear and often slip or click; they can cause bad breath, and require ongoing and inconvenient maintenance; they often result in a weak bite, a fake-looking smile DQG DQ RYHUO\ DFWLYH JDJJLQJ UHĂ&#x20AC; H[ Care and comfort aside, those with dentures also are prevented from eating many of the foods and participating in many of the activities they enjoy. With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s science, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply no reason for anyone to struggle with dentures. In fact, many of the problems denture wearers struggle with can be solved in just one day* with the help of your ClearChoice team of dental implant professionals.

Implants perform and are cared for just like natural teeth!

Seal Rope decision is expected in July Children’s Pool park ranger sees his role as ‘educator’

Year-round Rope n Oppose: http://chn.ge/zW3DFg n Support: Irene Reldan (858) 459-6600

By Dave Schwab The longstanding controversy over a proposal to have a guideline rope separating humans from harbor seals at Children’s Pool in La Jolla year-round could be decided July 11-13 by the California Coastal Commission at a site yet to be determined. The battle over the year-round rope is now before the Coastal Commission because it was determined the rope sits on its turf, not on the city of San Diego’s. The rope is presently up only during the seals’ pupping season, Dec. 15 to May 15. “Our mapping folks found the mean hightide line historically extends up to and over the cliffs,” said Lee McEachern of the San Diego Coastal Commission. “That means it’s in our jurisdiction.” A decade-long clash over which species — human or marine mammal — should rightly hold sway over the pool has bounced back and forth between San Diego Superior Court and San Diego City Council, often with conflicting outcomes. An uneasy compromise, a shared-use policy allowing access by both species and policed by a ranger, is the current status quo. It’s the job of ranger Rich Belesky, assigned

Park Ranger Rich Belesky is on duty Saturday through Wednesday at the Children’s Pool. to the Children’s Pool since November 2011, to keep the peace. “I’m here to help keep things civil on the sidewalk (overlooking the pool) and to reduce police visits,” said Belesky from his post on Sunday, April 29. “It’s the park ranger’s job to manage human-human interaction, as well as human-seal interaction.” Belesky stressed that law enforcement is not his principal function. “Should the need

arise, I can cite for municipal code violations and violations of the California Penal Code for infractions and misdemeanors in parks,” he said, “But park rangers are not policemen.” If violence should erupt at the pool, police are called in. “The rule of thumb is, if people are approaching the seals to the point where seals are noticing them and starting to be disturbed … I’ll go down and have people

move,” he said. Belesky sees his role primarily as educational. “Visitors from all over the world are here and a lot of them don’t know how to behave around wild animals,” he said. “I educate them about their responsibilities. It’s a public beach. They can do anything they want as long as they don’t disturb the seals by doing it.” Meanwhile, as a prelude to July’s anticipated year-round rope showdown, pro-beach access advocates have launched an online petition drive to garner support for their position, which would return the pool to primarily human use. They insist that has been its purpose intention ever since La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps paid to create the pool as a wading area for children in the 1930s. “It’s our constitutional right,” said probeach access advocate Hen Hunrichs. “We’re talking about big issues here, not just park regulations. The city is really wrestling with some fundamental rights of California citizens. “A lot of people do support the rope being up during pupping season. Our position is that we (beach users) want at least some access — a corridor — all the time.”

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Coronado Historic Home Tour will Harland Property Management: showcase pre-World War II classics the property wrangling specialists Seven examples of classic architecture on one of the oldest and loveliest streets in Coronado will be featured during the 2012 Coronado Historic Home Tour, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 13. The event will take place rain or shine. From an early Craftsman designed by William Sterling Hebbard in 1898, to a two-story Colonial Revival mansion constructed for a Navy captain in the mid-1930s, all seven homes pre-date World War II. This year’s featured homes are within easy walking distance of each other on Adella Avenue, a tree-lined road named for the wife of Hampton Story, one of Coronado’s founding fathers. In addition to the Craftsman and Colonia Revival example already mentioned, they include an outstanding variety of styles, such as an English Revival, a Prairie-style and one described as Spanish Eclectic. Architectural details, such as gables, arches, niches and red-barreled tiled roofs

add to each home’s individuality and beauty. Interior renovations reflect a blend of original antique features with modern conveniences. Most of the homes date from the 1920s and ’30s. Through the decades, prior owners each contributed in their own way to the rich history of Coronado. They include the developer of the El Cortez Hotel (1927), the commander of President Hoover’s flagship (1932) and a major in the Civil War. The annual Historic Home Tour is a major fundraiser for the Coronado Historical Association. Tickets may be purchased in advance either at the Coronado Visitor Center (operated by CHA), 1100 Orange Avenue, Coronado, or online at www.coronadohistory.org. On tour day, tickets may be purchased or picked up at a booth located at 1013 Adella Ave. For more information, call (619) 435-7242 or visit coronadohistory.org

By Marti Gacioch Clients seeking Harland Property Management services usually have three concerns: the amount their property will rent for, and how repairs and evictions will be handled, according to Kayvon Homayoun, owner of Harland Property Management. “Property owners hire us to handle everything in regard to their property, so we basically become the landlord,” Homayoun said. “We do thorough background and credit checks for tenants, so we’re sure the tenants can afford what they think they can afford. “ Property management rates Kayvon are usually based on a percentHomayoun age of the rental income, and Homayoun said his rates differ greatly from his competitors. According to Homayoun, his competitors tell clients they charge a low percentage rate of 6 to 8 percent, but after they hook the client, their contract includes many additional fees. “We tell our clients we charge 10 percent and there aren’t any additional fees,” Homayoun said. “Property owners care most about seeing that the rent is deposited in their account at the beginning of every month, they don’t want to hear about all the problems.” Homayoun entered the world of property

management after working as a Realtor with Prudential. Through his broker’s license, he began doing property management for clients he’d already sold homes to. As that side of his business grew, Homayoun left Prudential and focused solely on property management. After 10 years in business, Homayoun’s team of seven licensed real estate agents manage residential, commercial and industrial properties throughout most of San Diego County. The residential side of their business includes single family homes, condominiums, and vacation rentals. The commercial side includes commercial office buildings, retail storefronts and large office buildings. “We market a property, screen tenants through background checks, and then place tenants in the property,” Homayoun said. “We also pay any expenses on the property that the owner requests, such as the gardener, and tenants can pay their rent or request a repair on our website.” Harland is now offering a summer special on vacation rentals. “Most of our competition in San Diego charges between 25 and 30 percent for managing vacation rentals, but we’re offering a 15 percent summer special for June, July and August,” Homayoun said.

Our Readers Write

Vons needs to rethink its posted parking rules Your article, “Vons’ parking leaves some customers and merchants flustered,” by Pat Sherman, provided an excellent summary of the issues that Vons is trying to solve with its parking restrictions. However, I believe that Vons has seriously misjudged its priorities. Several points come to mind: n Customer parking is extremely limited in the vicinity of Vons. This parking shortage can be seen easily by driving along Fay Street west of Pearl on any day when the businesses are open. n Vons is entirely within its rights in restricting parking in order to encourage customers to shop at Vons (as I do). However, it is difficult for me to imagine the logic that leads Vons’ management to park 28 employee cars in the lot in front of its store: n Twenty-eight spaces are lost, inconveniencing 28 potential customers. n Employees use those spaces all day rather than the two-hour limit for customers. n Employees are important, but customers are important, too. Ample free all-day parking is available just a few blocks away and other spaces behind the Vons’ building are well suited for employee parking. Saving a three- to five-minute walk for an employee working an eight-hour shift at Vons is hardly comparable to the inconvenience it represents for a Vons’ customer on a 10-minute shopping trip. Corporations neglect customer loyalty at their peril. Ironically, Vons’ parking problem is the result of its success as a low-price merchant. The company’s response to the parking shortage has created controversy and has distanced it from its own customers. It has made surveillance by a Modern Parking attendant the first point of contact, while also taking away one additional parking space for the attendant. Furthermore, the image of Vons as a good neighbor in the community is impaired by its actions that inconvenience customers at neighboring businesses, es-

pecially those abutting the Vons lot (and it is right there that no one but Vons’ employees are permitted to park). Vons is a member of our La Jolla community not by right but by permission. Its role as a good corporate citizen and neighbor is far more important to customer loyalty than its low prices. Justice is not based on what a powerful company can do, but rather on what it ought to do. Abandoning its current parking policy is what Vons ought to do. Larry Speidell La Jolla

Dalai Lama is no expert on global warming

Pat Sherman’s article on the Dalai Lama’s visit to UCSD, “He Came. He Spoke. He Inspired.” (April 26) was very one-sided and was a disservice to your readers. While I appreciate the Dalai Lama’s intelligence in spiritual matters like conveying the importance of cultivating compassion, I cannot see what he brings to the table when discussing global warming, especially on a panel where unsettled scientific theories were presented as fact (man is causing the planet to warm and we have the power to stop it) and

where no opposing opinions were offered (at least based on the article contents). Equating environmental policy with moral relativism and portraying skeptics as deniers didn’t do much either to affirm the panel’s validity. A large number of respected professionals question whether global warming is even occurring; some think we’ve been cooling since 1998 and that solar activity and volcanic eruptions may contribute far more to climate change than man ever could. In fact, over 1,000 scientists have come out against the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s position that man is causing the Earth’s temperature to rise. Considering the debate settled is nonsensical. Panel professors Veerabhadran Ramanathan and Richard Somerville’s rigid stance on this is highly irresponsible. While it’s true many scientists believe we are causing our planet to warm, many also don’t and their ideas should have been mentioned. Too many uncertainties abide to determine which path of action or whether any at this point is even needed. At the very least, policies that slow down our economy, such as capping CO2 levels or mandating alternative fuel use, should be measured against the very real effects of job loss and higher energy costs that will result. For the professors, this may mean a minor inconvenience of giving up a daily latte but it will devastate the delivery man forced to choose between filling up his truck or feeding his family that night. The Dalai Lama seems like a good-natured, smart man and I’m sure his presence made for a lively and entertaining event. A far more enlightening and productive session would have had those with challenging views participate. Both global warming skeptics and alarmists offer compelling evidence to support their positions, which should force us to admit the uncertainties and take a giant pause before enacting potentially ruinous environmental legislation.

Guest Commentary

Some call it ‘Israel Hate Week’ on college campuses By Marsha Sutton Education Writer for the Light’s sister papers Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun and Rancho Santa Fe Review Editor’s note: According to Christine Clark of the UC San Diego News Center, two student-sponsored “weeks” are held on campus, May 14-17: Justice in Palestine Week, which is presented by the Muslim Students Association (MSA) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), and Solidarity Week, which is presented by the Tritons for Israel (TFI) and J Street U (JSU). The week, she said, typically features tables staffed by students set up along Library Walk to offer fliers and informational pamphlets.

ext week, May 14-17, the University of California San Diego will present Justice in Palestine Week – otherwise known by the label Israel Apartheid Week or Israel Hate Week. An annual event at UCSD, the week mobilizes anti-Israel sentiment, to protest alleged Israeli persecution of Palestinians and dele-

gitimize the Jewish state. If UCSD were confronted with AfricanAmerican Hate Week, would officials sit still for this? How about Lesbian Hate Week? Mexico Hate Week? Yet Israel Hate Week is permitted — nay, endorsed — by an administration that shields itself under the umbrella of free speech. The fine line, so the argument goes, is that it is acceptable to hate Israel, the Mideast’s only democracy, because the protests are not directly targeting Jews. But this is a fallacy. When free speech turns to hate speech, it cannot be tolerated. It’s time to call Israel Hate Week for what it is — a flat-out assault against Jewish students on campuses across the country. And UCSD has become a prominent epicenter. Such an honor we San Diegans could do without. American Jews are linked to Israel, as a second homeland, in a similar way Irish-Americans or Italian-Americans are tied to their heritage. So an attack on Israel, especially attacks that distort the truth, is easily interpreted as an attack on Jews. Regardless of one’s political position on Israel (and there are many across the spectrum that should be legitimately explored and respectfully debated), no one at a public university has the right to make other students

feel harassed and afraid. Those who argue that they are only protesting Israeli policies and are not against Jews are splitting hairs. These public demonstrations have become shameful, blatant expressions of anti-Jewish rhetoric disguised as virtuous opposition to crimes against humanity. If the anti-Israel movement were really nothing more than a protest against nations accused of human rights violations, then surely other countries would be named. China, for one, with its horrendous record, should top the list. Saudi Arabia and North Korea would also earn high marks for this dubious distinction. And how about Syria? But only Israel is targeted, indicating a clear double standard and a transparent, ulterior agenda. The climate has become so toxic at many University of California schools that UC president Mark Yudof was compelled to write an open letter on March 8 condemning the intolerance. Yudof cited examples on UC campuses of vandalism of the Israeli flag and shocking insults hurled at invited Israeli guests during their presentations. He offered firm support for the frank discussion of issues of substance and encouraged the respectful exchange of conflicting ideas on

college campuses, but drew the line at words and behavior that inhibit or threaten others. When one of UCSD’s libraries known as CLICS (Center for Library & Instructional Computing Services) closed permanently on June 10, 2011 due to budget cuts, it was reclaimed by students, some of whom draped the public facility with numerous Palestinian flags. In reaction to this “takeover,” one lone Israeli flag was hung and quickly torn down a few hours later. Subsequent comments on social media made it clear that CLICS is not a friendly sanctuary for Jewish students seeking a quiet place to study. These actions would never be tolerated at a county or city library, so why are they permitted at a state-supported university library? Diffusing the anger, repairing its damaged reputation and re-establishing a climate of patience, acceptance and respect should be UCSD’s foremost cultural imperative. Let us hope that this year, during the coming demonstrations, people with opposing viewpoints will engage in civil discourse that helps bridge differences, rather than employ hateful words and actions that alienate and polarize. And let UCSD become, once again, a campus that respects the humanity, dignity and rights of all people.

Community Planning Association OKs Farms project By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) lent its support to the planned demolition and rebuild of a home at 9633 La Jolla Farms Road during its May 3 meeting. The rebuild, situated on 1.7 acres, would be more than double the size of the current structure — an increase of about 4,000 square feet to 10,834 square feet. Taal Safdie of Safdie Rabines Architects offered an overview of the project, for which the owner is seeking a Coastal Development Permit. CPA trustee Phil Merten, who previously opposed the project, expressed his concern with a 30-foot tower — the maximum allowable height for residential structures. It would be 15 feet from the right-hand property line. Merten said a section of the La Jolla Community Plan mandates a more gradual transition in scale between new development and existing structures “to promote good design and harmony.” Merten said the rectangular tower reminded him of “the original, early designs of Jack-in-the-Box restaurants.” “I hate to use that comparison,” Merten said, “but this is of about that same scale and about the same height. I could not come to the finding that this element made the reasonable kind of transitions in scale down to the one-story house next door.” Trustee Mike Costello added, “I have an appreciation for what that might do to a neighbor or maybe future neighbors and I’m wondering … is there some other place on the

property where you could tuck (your tower).” With regard to the tower’s location, Safdie said, “part of this was to create something dramatic in the entrance,” noting that homeowners on both sides of the property had seen the plans and written letters of approval. UCSD astrophysicist Brian Keating, who owns the property in question, was in the audience to weigh-in on the project. He said the neighbors nearest the tower are “close friends,” who attended his wedding. “If we were to move (the tower) north we would have been obstructing some of their ocean views,” he said. “They actually said it was OK if we did, but we wanted to be very neighborly.” Keating said his neighbors have no win-

dows facing the tower and that there is an existing hedge that divides the property line and blocks their view of it. Trustee Laura Ducharme Conboy said she was “not troubled” by the tower. “Sometimes a strong geometric form contributes to the overall look of the architecture,” she said, adding that the “scale is a bit deceiving and makes it look worse than it is.” Devin Burnstein made the motion to lend CPA approval to the project, which was seconded by Cindy Thorsen. The motion was approved 10-3, with one abstention. In other CPA news • Lifeguard tower parking lot. Erin Demorest, a representative for District 1 City

From CPA, A19 resurfacing and other projects, including renovations to the lifeguard tower at La Jolla Cove. Demorest said the parking lot in front of the La Jolla Shores lifeguard tower should be resurfaced before Memorial Day weekend, after which five parking spaces would be used as a staging area for ongoing La Jolla Shores lifeguard tower renovations, through July 4. • New Medical Center. UCSD Principal Community Planner Anu Delouri said work on the 10-story, 509,500-square-foot Jacobs Medical Center broke ground recently. The center is slated for completion in 2017. • Morton resignation. Architect Michael Morton addressed his resignation from the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee over what he views as an “unfair hearing” on the long-proposed Hillel Jewish Student Center near UCSD. Morton called for the CPA to organize a group to investigate the issue and report back to the CPA trustees and board with its findings. “A fair and impartial hearing by an applicant in front of a committee is a very important right that all applicants should be receiving,” Morton said. “Many members of the subcommittee were part of organized groups in opposition to that project. They neither disclosed nor chose to abstain or recuse themselves from that vote.” President Tony Crisafi said he would convene with CPA officers to investigate the matter and report back in the future. • Weiss resignation. Crisafi also noted that CPA trustee Ray Weiss has resigned, due to scheduling conflicts. • Sewer line update. City of San Diego engineering and capital projects manager Michael Ninh discussed the planned replacement of more than two miles of water and sewer lines in the Village, which was delayed for two years to due a lack of funding. The project is now in the final design stages, he said. The $4.6 million project boundaries are Torrey Pines Road, Coast Boulevard, Ivanhoe Street and Prospect Place. Portions of Jenner Street, Prospect Street, Prospect Place, Park Row, Exchange Place and Silverado Street will be affected during the 12-month work schedule, Ninh said. The project is slated for completion in October 2013 with a moratorium on work during the holidays and summer.

Three La Jolla students win city’s annual poster contest San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders and the entire San Diego City Council celebrated the creative efforts of the winners of the 12th Annual Children’s Water Conservation Poster Contest on May 1, in the City Administration Building Council Chambers on the 12th floor, 202 C Street. Out of the 19 student artists who won this year’s contest, three hail from La Jolla — Sage Cathleen Tellew and Audrey Tsai from Muirlands Middle School and Athena Tsai from La Jolla Elementary. This year’s theme was “San Diegans Waste No Water.” The winning posters are on display in the lobby of the City Administration Building through May, the San Diego Watercolor Society Gallery and San Diego County Fair “Kids’ Best Exhibit,” in June and The San Diego International Airport from June to September. The winning posters will also be featured in the 2013 Water Conservation Poster Calendar, which will be available at area libraries. More at www.WasteNoWater.org

UC San Diego freshman second baseman Monique Portugal pounded a twoout grand slam to cap-off a six-run fourth inning as the No. 24 Triton softball team trounced Dixie State via runrule, 10-0, to take the NCAA West Region II title on Sunday afternoon at Otter Sports Complex. UCSD (39-20), which fell in last Friday’s opening game of the tournament to DSC (38-13), won consecutive

games over Montana State-Billings and Cal State Monterey Bay on Saturday before downing DSC twice on Sunday to capture the West subregional title. The Tritons advance to the West Super Regional for the second straight season and will travel to face top-seeded Cal State Dominguez Hills in a best-ofthree series, Friday and Saturday, in Carson. The winner of the West Super Re-

gional qualifies for the eight-team NCAA Division II National Championships, May 16-19 in Lousiville, Ky. “Our goal was to leave here by winning the last game and we did that. In the end, it doesn’t really matter how many games you play, it just matters that you come out, play hard and respect the game. Fortunately, the results were positive for us,” said UCSD head coach Patti Gerckens.

LJYB celebrates “Cinco de Mayo” Mustang style By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball La Jolla Youth Baseball celebrates holidays with gusto and Cinco de Mayo was no exception. On Saturday in the Mustang division, the managers of the Baxter Foundation and Pharmatek teams decided to let their hair down and the kids went crazy with eye black — drawing mustaches, beards, glasses and more. The game was determined a tie before starting in order to let every kid pitch who hasn’t tried that position before. The umpire joined in on the fun and drew the largest strike zone in modern times. Most kids batted from the opposite side and there was a ban on base stealing to keep things light. Baxter coach Billy Egan made a run to Party City and outfitted his coaches with festive sombreros and mustaches, which really set the tone. Excellent pitching performances were turned in by a few rookies on the hill and game balls were handed out accordingly. Manny Coleman had a “web gem” play at third base that prompted coach Egan to run on the field and celebrate the play. Neither team will catch Mitch’s Surf Shop or Morgan Stanley for top seeds in the playoffs, but they will be fun teams to watch. Following the game, both teams had a BBQ in the Cinco de Mayo tradition. Mustang starts their double-elimination playoffs

UCSD baseball hosts CCAA tournament today

Baxter Foundation Caballeros: Ron Brunette, Billy Egan, Dave Odmark, Anthony Musante and Ray Fulks this Saturday. In Bronco, Aladdin Bail Bonds and Harry’s Coffee Shop are only a game apart for the top seed in their division. Aladdin’s Garrett Brown leads LJYB with eight moon shots, but Jack MacDorman of Las Patronas made sure he didn’t hit a grand slam on Sunday when he leaned over the fence to grab a drive that ended the inning and left the bases loaded. According to the fans in the bleachers, it was LJYB’s Play of the Year. One parent quipped “Call the cops because you’ve been robbed!” Las

Patronas went on to win the game and moved from the cellar into third place in the past week. Bronco plays their double-elimination playoffs next week and a lot of teams like their chances. Pinto games continue to keep the cardiologists on call with high scoring games and late inning theatrics. Although Patterson Bike holds a narrow lead over PacVentures and Retirement Benefits Group, there are seven teams with records over .500 that are within

Top-seeded UC San Diego will host the 2012 California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Baseball Tournament, which starts today at Triton Ballpark in La Jolla. UCSD will be gunning for its fourth consecutive title and an automatic berth in the upcoming NCAA Division II Championships. CCAA regular season co-champions UC San Diego (2921, 26-14 CCAA) and Chico State (36-14, 26-14) will be the tournament’s No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively. Cal State San Bernardino (27-18, 24-16) earned the third seed and Sonoma State (25-23, 23-17) is the fourth seed. Today’s opening round will feature Chico State against Cal State San Bernardino at 3 p.m. followed by UCSD and Sonoma State under the lights at 7 p.m. Action in the double-elimination tournament will continue Friday with three games at 11 a.m. (elimination game), 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. (elimination game). The championship game is slated for noon on Saturday. A second title game, if necessary, will follow. UC San Diego is making its ninth consecutive CCAA Tournament appearance. Chico State is making its third straight showing and 13th in the 14-year history of the event. Cal State San Bernardino is back for its sixth overall appearance and second in the last three seasons. Sonoma State returns for the second year in a row, its 10th overall showing. UCSD went 3-1 to take the CCAA Tournament crown in 2011. The Tritons recorded two wins and a loss versus Cal Poly Pomona and a win versus Chico State. The tournament is being hosted on a campus site for the first time since 2008. The past two have been held at the Klein Family Field in Stockton, Calif., while the 2009 event was played in Palm Springs.

RBC is the top LJYB team in Interleague play with a 10-4 record, followed by Rotary at 4-6-3 and SDG at 5-9-1. Michael Marshall and Johnny Agbulos have three homers to date followed by Carter Chopskie, Trenton Fudge and Michael Nance with two taters apiece.

On Sunday, May 20 LJYB will again host portions of the “Home Run for Chelsea” Tournament, which is a fundraiser for Chelsea’s Light Foundation. More than 100 teams throughout Southern California will participate and the teams that play on the LJYB fields will be great to watch.

Renaissance Singers have fun with old Italian street comedy

La Jolla Renaissance Singers will perform ‘Festino Nella Sera del Giovedi Grasso Avanti Cena’ on May 13 and 20. COURTESY

By Will Bowen The La Jolla Renaissance Singers (LJRS) will perform the amusing madrigal comedy hit of 1608, Adriano Banchieri’s “Festino Nella Sera del Giovedi Grasso Avanti Cena” (Entertainment for the Eve of Carnival Thursday) on two upcoming Sundays — May 13 and 20 — at different locales. Festino is a one-hour set of 20 a capella tunes, sung in Italian (English text provided in program notes) by a group of revelers who are slightly drunk. The scene is the Thursday after Mardi Gras and the revelers are still tipsy, although they should have been done with their feasting and partying, and attending to the austerities of the season of Lent. Festino is classed as a madrigal comedy — a precursor to

FROM SINGERS, B1 modern comedic opera. It was only popular for a short period of time, from the late 1500s to the early 1600s. Each of the vocal pieces in the piece, composed by the Benedictine monk Banchieri, follows the form of a humorous lyrical poem. It’s interspersed with short monologues from the characters, who are derived from the stock of Italian commedia dell’arte. According to Wendy Warhame Clemente, who has been the director of the LJRS for the past year, “The singers in this comedy imitate lovers, share inside jokes, sing bawdy songs and clichéd love tunes, mock those who walk by, dance like country folk, and imitate animals and musical instruments. “It’s an irreverent work, full of double entendres and silliness, all wrapped in lighthearted sentiment, with a very entertaining set of songs — not the usual serious fare that one finds at choral concerts.” LJRS was founded in 1964, making the group one of San Diego’s oldest early music organizations. Originally, it was made up of scientists and their families, who

by Juliana Beletsis Editor’s note: This is the second of a three-part story about one La Jollan’s dedicated search to learn the truth about another La Jollan’s claim to be a descendent of Spanish royalty. In her grief following the tragic death in January of her friend “Count” Alfonso de Bourbon, Juliana Beletsis traces his life story — not to Spain, but to Egypt — as readers will see.

t Alfonso’s memorial service, I told everyone that when I went out walking in the Village, I went looking for Alfonso. I told them how grateful Alfonso felt to be alive and I mentioned a thank-you card he sent me. I remember ending with the story that I had given Alfonso half a hug, recently, which made him laugh. That laughter, I said, is how I was going to remember Alfonso. Erika Torri, director of The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla, was right on when she spoke. She said that after interacting with Alfonso, she always left with a smile. Alfonso always made her feel good. She told us a funny story about an interaction she had with him that made everyone laugh out loud. That is how it was with Alfonso, even after he died. Whenever I thought of him, I was either laughing or crying — often at the same time. Reporter Dave Schwab wrote his account of the memorial service in the La Jolla Light. “Everyone in attendance agreed Bourbon was an unforgettable character, an individual so unique in his presentation that you always remembered him thereafter.” ••• The news of Alfonso’s death spread across Europe and journalists from El Mundo contacted me. Everyone wanted to know information about Alfonso. And the big question on everyone’s mind was whether Alfonso was indeed from royalty like he claimed. Royal Search When I moved to La Jolla 25 years ago and Alfonso mentioned that his grandfather was King

Alfonso XIII of Spain, I scoffed at the idea. But, the news sent me running to my French friend’s house on Genter Street, who, in turn, scoffed at me. She told me that this sort of thing (illegitimacy) happens in Europe all the time. So, I assumed Alfonso was from royalty. I met Heli Hofmann at Alfonso’s memorial service. She wrote, “Three things convinced me from the very beginning in 1981: 1) His physical resemblance to Alfonso XIII; 2) His enormous language ability; 3) His polite manners.” Alfonso told me that he was born in Lausanne, Switzerland and that he worked as an interpreter for the United Nations in New York City. It was only in our last conversation that Alfonso revealed more personal information about himself. That is why I was stunned when, out of the blue; he told me that he was

once married, but only for a brief period of time. I’ll never forget the moment. We were sitting on the bench on Girard Avenue facing the sun, when he mentioned this. I spun my head around to look at him. Unfortunately, that was all he wanted me to know, but I felt honored, as I’m sure Alfonso never told this to anyone. Now I’m left wondering what else he might have revealed had he kept on living. I never asked Alfonso about his royal past, even when I imported his personal photos of the royals into my computer. He asked me to put them on a disk for him. He was working on a project and he needed copies. In appreciation for my efforts, Alfonso gave me a photocopied image of King Alfonso XIII — Alfonso had signed his name on the back.

‘Herbert’s Wormhole’ creators entertain Gillispie School students By Jeanie Scott Los Angeles-based screenwriter Peter Nelson returned to The Gillispie School last week to review his second cartoon illustrated children’s book, “Herbert’s Wormhole: The Rise and Fall of El Solo Libre,” which was published by HarperCollins on April 17. The book was recently included in Amazon’s Children’s Book Week 2012 Featured Titles for Young Readers ages 9-12. The series highlights the adventures of three neighborhood friends who travel through a wormhole 100 years into the future. Just three years ago, Nelson contacted his brother-in-law Ed Whelan, The Gillispie School’s physical education teacher, in the hope he might be able to arrange an author’s visit for Gillispie students. That first presentation was a success and since that time, Nelson and the book’s Manhattan-based illustrator, Ro Rao, have shared their creative experience with other schools throughout the country.

Author Peter Nelson introduces his second cartoon illustrated children’s book, ‘Herbert’s Wormhole: The Rise and Fall of El Solo Libre’ to students at The Gillispie School. Photos by Annette Bradbury The Gillispie School visit featured a humorous presentation by Nelson on the writing process while Rao showcased his artistic ability, drawing pictures of the characters and plot in real-time using a document camera and projector. As the pair began to brainstorm for the sequel, they initially discussed the

book’s concept. Nelson said he then began writing for up to six hours a day, with Rao returning to Manhattan to illustrate his concept of the story, overnighting by mail, his daily drawings to Nelson for review. “His drawings often inspired me to take the storyline in a different direction,” Nelson said.

On the web herbertswormhole.com Nelson stressed to the students that there is story inside each of them just waiting to be told. He explained that even simple words could take on a new meaning when read with

bold expression. Nelson encouraged students to review their writing projects many times over, revealing that he typically does two to five rewrites of each chapter of a manuscript before sending it off for editing. Nelson and Rao answered questions and solicited storyline ideas for the third and final book in the

“Herbert’s Wormhole” series, which will be released in 2013. They ended the presentation by autographing copies of their books for students and staff. Students said they hope Nelson and Rao will return to Gillispie next year to reveal how the “Herbert’s Wormhole” series ends and what comes next.

FROM GARDEN TOUR, B1 is the picture that speaks to me?” Each of the artists will ask that question before the tour when they meet with the owner of the garden where they will be painting and decide on the best place to set up their easels. After the tour, the artists will display and sell their work — ranging from colorful abstracts to realism to loose impressionism — for the month of June at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. They will also set up their work on the walkways outside the cottage every Saturday and Sunday during June from 12:30 to 3:45 p.m. The artists in this year’s garden tour: n Patricia Jasper Clark — a still life and landscape artist who paints exclusively in oils. Her work has been featured in the La Jolla Art Association Gallery, a six-week show at the Riford Center last year, and on the 2010 Garden Tour poster. n Diane Estrada — a dedicated water media artist. Her artwork is known for its dramatic color and impressionistic style, ranging from abstract to realism. “Painting outdoors in a lovely garden is very enjoyable and one of my favorite subjects is flowers.

n Carol Shamrock — loves using color, which is reflected in her watercolor, oil, and acrylic paintings. Using subtle to bright hues, her paintings are embellished with rich layers of transparent and opaque color. Carol’s subjects range from the real to the abstract and from visual satire to the creation of a peaceful contemplative environment. She is a teacher at La Jolla High School.

Scenes from last year’s garden tour. lived in La Jolla for over 40 years and graduated from La Jolla High School and have seen many changes over the years.” n Jane Fletcher — works in a wide variety of styles (abstract, figurative, representational, landscape, cityscape, seascape, expressionistic, ornamental, portrait, nudes) and a variety of media (oil painting, wood carving, and glass etching). n Andrea Gaye — paints in oil on canvas.

His coastscapes depict the harmony he finds in the meeting of sea and shore and his landscapes reflect the tranquility he sees in the natural world. n Leah Higgins — specializes in personalized paintings of people and places, using the medium of acrylic or watercolor. Her paintings include houses, churches, pets, people, landscapes, seascapes, flowers and still life. n Sharon Hinkley — works from real life in vivid watercolors in the matter of the Impressionists and plein-air painters. An award winning artist, she has had numerous one-woman shows and is also an teacher and author (“Watercolor Basics: Painting Flowers”). “I love everything bright and colorful and in a garden there is usually a vast array

of color, even if it’s 1000 shades of green,” she said. n Sally Irwin — a former interior designer, paints in oils and likes to work with a bold and bright combination of colors. She enjoys painting a variety of subjects including landscapes and still life and has been influenced by Fauvism (of which Henri Matisse was a leader) and the alla prima painting technique (in which layers of wet paint are applied to previous layers of wet paint). n Salli Sachse — paints a variety of subjects in oil, including seascapes, sunsets, flowers, markets, and portraits. A former actress and counselor, her work is influenced by her travels and living in The Netherlands, where she fell in love with the light in the countryside.

Musicians The San Diego musicians who will be playing in this year’s garden tour are a highly-skilled group who love to share their music with others, especially for a good cause such as the La Jolla Historical Society, according to coordinator Dori Robbins. Many also teach and write their own music, said Robbins, a retired violinist who played with the Kennedy Center Opera House. n Cathy Blickinstaff — plays flute and piccolo for the La Jolla Symphony and teaches music at Point Loma Nazarene University. n Dusty Brough — is a nylonstring guitar player based in San Diego.

FROM ALFONSO, B6 But, before he gave me the photo, he held it up to his face and asked me if I thought there was a resemblance. Alfonso was pleased when I told him the resemblance was striking. My husband, among many others, thought Alfonso’s story about his past was convincing. Plus, he did look like King Alfonso XIII, don’t you think? If only I had known at the time that the couple Alfonso claimed were his parents were the eldest son of King Alfonso XIII, Alfonso de Borbón, and his wife Edelmira Sampedro. Later, when I read the interview José María Zavala had with Alfonso in November 2009, I was convinced that Alfonso knew only what the nuns told him and that the information was incorrect. I thought King Alfonso XIII might have been Alfonso’s real father since he was born in the same year as Leandro, 1929. Leandro was one of the many illegitimate children fathered by the “Bastard King.” Plus, I decided that Alfonso didn’t lose his fingers to frostbite like he told me, but he was born with a deformity, which led to his being put up for adoption. Alfonso did make the perfect orphan. Alfonso de Bourbon Case No. 12-104

Trying to get Alfonso’s story has not been easy. After interviewing two medical examiners, the public administrator, San Diego Crematorium, a lawyer, and The Salvation Army, the investigation is still not fully complete. The medical examiner told me the case was still open. She explained that there were three parts to a report: the investigation, the toxicology report, and the autopsy. She was not able to tell me which one was not yet completed. But, she said these cases take about 90 days and they would notify me via e-mail when all is said and done. I was in their system. When the medical examiner told me that Alfonso was not from royalty, the shock temporarily shook the grief I was feeling, and I smiled. It didn’t matter, prince or pauper, I loved Alfonso and there was nothing anybody could do about that now. Suddenly, I became the town crier and I ran to tell everyone the news. My second stop after Girard Gourmet was The Athenaeum. I arrived at the same time as a deliveryman. We stood and waited for Erika Torri. When I told her that Alfonso was not from royalty, we were speechless. We just stood there — in shock — staring at each other. Finally, the deliveryman, who overheard

our conversation, asked us if our lives.” But, like our we were talking about friend Ken Smith wrote, I’m Alfonso de Bourbon. We both not buying it. It’s Count Alstared at him in disbelief. fonso!

Times on Jan. 24, 1969, Alfonso bid on the world’s most famous and ancient pearl, La Peregrina. The bidding on the pearl, nicknamed, The Wanderer because it had gotten around so much, started at $10,000. Richard Burton outbid Afonso and bought the pearl for $37,000. It was his birthday present to Elizabeth Taylor who had just turned 37 years old. “An unsuccessful bidder was Prince Alfonso de Bourbon Asturias. In an interview later, he said: ‘I had telephoned-in a bid to $20,000. I didn’t think it was going to reach $37,000. I wanted to make a gift of it to Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain, in homage to her.’” Never mind that all the while Queen Victoria Eugenia claimed to have the “real” pearl tucked away in her possession. I read about our swinging Alfonso and the Gabor Sisters. I know someone who met Alfonso at one of their parties years ago. When she moved to La Jolla she looked up Alfonso, and the two became friends. “Magda (Gabor) dated around for awhile, specializing in princely titles. Among her squires were Prince Alfonso de Bourbon and Prince Umberto de Poliolo, both with residual royal

because, although Alfonso’s family was notified, they hadn’t responded. So, in order for them to move forward, they needed an abandonment release from the medical examiner’s office — signed papers that claimed our Alfonso was abandoned. Alfonso’s body was released on Feb. 17. Alfonso was cremated. Missy was looking at his ashes on the counter as we spoke. She said that at some point, her boss, the owner, will gather everyone’s ashes and he alone will go out to sea. He’s not licensed to bring along family or friends. I’ve been lamenting the fact that there wasn’t a place I could go and mourn Alfonso’s death, but Missy told me that San Diego Crematorium will provide me with a certificate that will include the date, and coordinates, after her boss sets sail with Alfonso’s ashes. ••• It was during this time that I started reading — not only the recent and numerous letters Alfonso wrote to the editor on topics as wideranging as expressing his concern for the victims of war, “advice to would-be condo owners” and a letter in loving memory, but I read about our Alfonso in days of yore.

FROM ALFONSO, B16 heritage from Spain. The former lived in La Jolla and the latter operated his art emporium, Gallery de Poliolo, in Palm Springs.” — From “Palm Springs Life” by Allene Arthur. And I read about King Alfonso XIII and his eldest son, Alfonso de Borbón and his Cuban wife of four years, Edelmira Sampedro. One article in particular, written by Miami historian Antolín García Carbonell in February 2009, would make a dramatic impact, “Tragic Drama Under the Miami Moon.” My husband and I planned a trip to Florida long before Alfonso died. We were set to leave at the end of January, but due to circumstances we didn’t leave until the end of February. This turned out to be a good thing as Alfonso was in legal limbo and I wanted to know what was going to happen to him. On Feb. 28 we took the red-eye to Miami and landed at sunrise (3:29 a.m. our time). We headed south on the Dixie Highway 953 in our rented Nissan. I suggested we stop for breakfast in Coral Gables, I was curious to see this suburb of Miami. My husband said he was surprised at my behavior when we arrived. He said I became focused and driven. He said it threw him off, as he had no idea I wanted to

go to the cemetery mausoleum and look for Alfonso de Borbón’s crypt. He said that I took us right to the unmarked crypt, straight away, without hesitation. I was just as surprised as my husband. Who knew I had this information and my desire was so strong? I thought we were going to drive straight down to The Keys and enjoy a tropical vacation. We did that, but we also went to three libraries and two cemeteries to research Alfonso’s story. Unlike Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, there were no maps available at Graceland Memorial Park in Coral Gables, so I approached two workers. “Spanish royalty?” I asked. Shoulders shrugged, so I started to walk away when one of the workers, Guillot, stepped forward. He said he remembered something and took us into the mausoleum. There are two crypts on the left as you enter the mausoleum that don’t bear an inscription, one lies on top of the other. “This is what you’re looking for,” Guilott said, pointing to the bottom crypt. We all stood and stared at the blank cover while he changed his mind. “No,” he said. “It is the one on top of that, I can tell by the color of the marble.” So, we all stared at the one on top. As I stepped forward to take a closer look, I noticed

that one of thingamajigs that held the crypt closed was loose. I asked if the crypt could be opened. Guilott flipped out a tool, and much to our surprise, he opened the crypt! Imagine our shock and excitement when we read what was written on the inside of the marble cover: HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALFONSO DE BORBON Y BATTENBERG MAY 10 1907 SEPT 6, 1938 R.I.P Guiilott was just as excited as we were. He told us that he had worked at this cemetery for the last six years and had heard rumors, but he had never opened the crypt. And, he explained that the bottom crypt bore no inscription because it was used for the cremated remains of those who were abandoned. I’ll let Miami’s historian Antolín García Carbonell tell the story of why the crypt that belongs to the man Alfonso claimed to be his father, Alfonso de Borbón, was empty, since it was his riveting article that brought us there: “During the 1950s, three of Don Alfonso’s siblings visited his grave during Miami stops while visiting the U.S. and Cuba ... n To be continued: The conclusion of this story will appear May 17 in La Jolla Light and LaJollaLight.com

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Office. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco. com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-0003460. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to

verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Personalize Mother’s Day Brunch to suit mom’s spirit

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.” — Tenneva Jordan Mothers throughout centuries have been treasured, honored and, yes, roasted. Mother’s Day celebrations hark back to the ancient Greeks who held spring festivals to worship Rhea, Mother of the Gods. This Sunday, May 13, treat your mama like a goddess with a customized breakfast in bed. I’ve created menu options tailor-made to suit most moms’ gustatory idiosyncrasies, and added a turnkey kid-and-dad recipe to keep mom out of the kitchen on her special day.

Farm-to-Table Mabel If mom’s an organic fanatic, visit a farmers market or fresh fruit stand and prepare a frittata with organic eggs, goat cheese and veggies of her choice — fresh spinach, asparagus, roasted peppers, wild mushrooms. Top it off with bananawalnut muffins, or highfiber, whole grain breads, an assortment of berries drizzled with a honey yoghurt dressing, and wash it down nicely with a mango-tango smoothie, glass of crisp pomegranate juice or cup of green tea with coconut milk. New York State of Mom For East Coast transplants, you can do a traditional bountiful display of assorted smoked fish, fruit or cheese blintzes or Danish, and, of course, bagels and lox with a variety of “shmears.” For something fun and easy the kids can whip up a breakfast pizza topped with cream cheese, strips of smoked salmon, thinly sliced red

Pomegranate Mimosa Cocktail Here’s my Mom’s Day contribution — a healthful, antioxidant (and gluten-free) twist on the traditional mimosa. Serves 1. Bottoms up! n Ingredients • Chilled Champagne or sparkling wine • Freshly squeezed blood orange juice • Pomegranate juice n Directions Fill 1/3 of a chilled Champagne flute with the orange juice. Add a few splashes of pomegranate juice then top off with bubbly. Cheers! Salud! Proost! Le Chaim! onion, heirloom tomatoes and capers. Serve with a pot of “hawt cawfee.” Lightweight Even if mom doesn’t do brekkie, whip up something light and lively. Try a flakey almond or chocolate croissant — slice of Persian, Casaba or other exotic, seasonal melon — and a cup of breakfast tea with honey and lemon. Carb Queen These moms really enjoy a hearty breakfast, throwing caution and calories to the wind. There are more amalgams of French toast combinations than the Super Lotto — stuffed with mascarpone cheese, almond butter and jelly, chocolate hazelnut spread or bananas and cream cheese. Or try crème brulé French toast, dipped in a toasted coconut almond crust or smothered in drunken berries with liqueur of your choice. Do eggs any style with a side of rosemary fingerling potatoes, hash browns a–gogo, sweet potato fries or potato latkes (pancakes) with fresh, chunky applesauce. Pancakes can be flavored ala blueberries, banana nut, Granny Smith apples with cinnamon, or dark chocolate. Gluten-Free Gal If mom suffers from gluten gut, a sensitivity or intolerance to the sticky protein found in wheat, rye, barley and “contaminated”

oats, there are a slew of other foods that are naturally gluten-free. Try potatoes, soy, eggs, cheese, corn and wonderful alternative grains including quinoa, buckwheat, sorghum and amaranth, along with choice proteins. And the best news — mimosas are gluten-free! Neat Freak Franny Now dads, if she doesn’t want anybody tinkering in her domain, then the only thing you should be making is reservations. Mother’s Day brunches abound throughout our fair city. If you want a spectacular ocean setting, fresh seafood, gourmet food stations, divine desserts and bottomless mimosas, then go see the Pink Lady (La Valencia Hotel). Celebrated chef Brian Malarkey’s fabric hot spots including Point Loma’s Gabardine will be featuring a mimosa bar, and Del Mar’s Burlap will be shaking things up with some kitschy Mom’s Day cocktails blending house infused lavender vodka, fresh lemon bitters, soda and rose hip perfume. For a fresh California fusion, try George’s at the Cove’s California modern, a special menu offering Brioche French Toast with Chino Farms strawberries, and Eggs Benedict with fresh Dungeness crab. And for die-hard carnivorous moms, try Donovan’s Steakhouse in La Jolla. — For more recipes, check out FreeRangeClub.com
