Owners call new theater a nod to changing times, La Jolla culture
By DAVE SCHWAB
La Jolla Village is losing a boutique market and gaining a boutique theater. Boffo Cinemas has signed a 20-year lease with Jonathan’s Market to transform the retail space at 7611 Fay Ave. from a high-end market into a premium multiplex theater. “We will have a bar and restaurant that will cater to our patrons and offer in-seat service,” said Adolfo Fastlicht of Boffo, a firm named for the movie industry term denoting a smash success. “It will be a family venue, an upscale boutique catering to everybody in the community,” said Carlos Wellman, Fastlicht's partner in the venture. Jonathan's announced on May 1 that it will close June 1 after 18 years at the Fay address. Fastlicht noted that Boffo will be something different — and more — than your garden-variety theater, as it will offer “reserved seating, online reservations and an augmented menu.” While not disclosing what cuisine exactly will be served, Fastlicht said such fair typically includes items like sushi, paninis, wraps, sliders, salads and pizza. Boffo’s decor, said Fastlicht, will
be well-appointed, with “warm and inviting finishes that will translate into a comfortable environment.” He said the affect will be to create a “hospitality-type feel that is pleasant and relaxed.” Preliminary plans include the building of seven screens, with 50 to 60 comfortable lounge seats each. The complex is scheduled to be open 365 days a year. Fastlicht said the former Jonathan’s space will necessitate extensive remodeling, including a partial second story. He said Boffo officials hope the theater will open next March. The retail space was a Big Bear supermarket before it was pur-
chased by the Dallo family in 1995. The Dallos turned it into a boutique market. Attorney Michael Dallo said Boffo came to them with a proposal for altering their retail space. “They approached us with this idea of leasing the property to them,” Dallo said, “and, after long thought, it made sense for us.” He said the final decision to lease the property was “tough, bittersweet.” But in the end, Dallo said, “We felt it was a (business) opportunity for us, and exactly right for La Jolla, which is developing and changing.”

Village’s sidewalk cafes are a seat of contention By DAVE SCHWAB Sides have been chosen and views expressed about new sidewalk cafes in La Jolla. Should businesses be increasingly allowed to capitalize on outdoor dining space along sidewalks, or is it more appropriate to safeguard the Jewel’s sidewalk space from commercial encroachment in the form of outdoor café dining, leaving it open instead for pedestrian use? On balance, sidewalks are needed — and good — for the community, said Claude-Anthony Marengo, president of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA). “The sidewalk cafés in La Jolla provide the type of fabric that we really support in the community,” said Marengo. “We really think as merchants that these sidewalk cafés provide energy that is similar to the shopping centers and their benches along the center common areas, like you see at Westfield Shopping Center.” Noting sidewalk cafés are meant to “create social circles and prolong your visit and interaction
from the sidewalk to the business,” Marengo said it’s always better to “have our sidewalks busy with activity, and if it means blurring the lines between our sidewalks and our business ... I say it is good for the beach community that we live in.” But there are those in La Jolla who view sidewalk cafés as more an obstruction than an amenity.

BRCC welcomes sushi-bar owner, cites damages to traffic calmers By DAVE SCHWAB Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) heard about a new sushi restaurant coming to town, got an update on ongoing Maintenance assessment district (MAD) issues and revealed that its monthly newsletter won't be going almost exclusively online. Restaurateur Gabriel Jaurive introduced himself at the BRCC's May 6 meeting at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. “We're bringing something new to the community, Bird Rock Oyster and Sushi Bar,” said Jaurive, who is remodeling the former Station Sushi retail space for his new restaurant. “We're going to bring Mexican fusion with some authentic Mexican seafood and a little variety with sushi.” Jaurive said he was hoping to be open by the end of June. “I'd love to host a future community meeting,” he said. The entrepreneur said his establishment will be family oriented and that he is opening initially with only beer and wine under his alcohol license. Speaking of his restaurant's ambiance, Jaurive said, “It will be like a surf shack, with palapas and corrugated metal.” It will be a
place where people can come and “enjoy some fresh seafood, which is what we are specializing in.” BRCC board member Barbara Dunbar said city and community reps recently inspected the voterapproved MAD, which taxes local residents and merchants to provide funding for ongoing upkeep of landscaped roundabouts and other community traffic-calming improvements. “Some of the reflecting dots attached to curb faces and median splitters at mini-roundabouts are in really bad shape,” Dunbar said, “as they've been run over (by cars) in a number of locations.” She suggested something might be done to make them “a little more noticeable” so people don't “drive over or through it.” Dunbar said the community is also asking the city to repaint some of the yellow curb facings in the community's entryways to improve safety. She urged residents to report any damage they see to infrastructure or irrigation by emailing info@birdrockcc.org. “The more people tell us,” she said, “the more we'll be able to follow up and get a good handle on it.” At the end of the meeting, BRCC
TEMPORARY HIATUS La Jolla's Rough Water Swim has been canceled for the first time since 1959 because of construction on a new lifeguard tower and a bathroom renovation at the Cove lifeguard tower above it.

president Jacquelyn Bell said a decision had been made not to distribute the advisory group's monthly newsletter primarily online. A recent survey, she said, reflected that “the majority, 67 percent, wanted us to go with the electronic version.” She added, however, that the small response led to the group's decision “to keep (print and online distribution) the way it is.” She said the group may reconsider that decision “in a year's time.” BRCC's next meeting will be Tuesday, June 3, from 6 to 7 p.m. at Bella Roma Restaurant, 5737 La Jolla Blvd.

HURRY! DEADLINE JUNE 5TH!
A spokesman for the annual La Jolla Rough Water Swim has released a statement that the 2014 event has been canceled due to the construction of a new lifeguard tower and bathroom renovation at the Cove lifeguard tower up above the beach. “Unfortunately, due to the City of San Diego’s La Jolla Cove renovation project and new lifeguard tower construction, our event venue will not be available this year,” said Bill Perry. “Originally, the City’s construction schedule projected completion prior to our event, but this is no longer the case. “ Perry said this is the first time since 1959 that the swim, currently in its 84th year, has been canceled. Longtime La Jolla William Robbins said the event was previously cancelled during World War II, one year due to a
shark scare and once because of a polio scare, before La Jolla's Salk Institute developed a vaccine. “Alternative venues ... were considered by the operations committee,” said Perry. “But after polling a random sampling of past entrants, the consensus was to postpone the 84th swim rather than organize a substandard event.” Perry said the swim organizing committee would be back strong in 2015 “without a doubt. Participants can look forward to all the beauty and excitement that this iconic race has been known for ...,” he said. The renowned open-water swim, held in La Jolla Cove, is a multi-race event for swimmers of all age groups. The event’s highlight is the three-mile Gatorman race. — Staff and contribution

News Condo residents hail decision to implement original trolley route By DAVE SCHWAB Bowing to public sentiment, the board of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) voted unanimously May 9 to implement an alignment for the Mid-Coast Transit Project’s proposed extension from Old Town to Westfield UTC that is further away from a La Jolla condominium complex in its path. “As a homeowner at Cape La Jolla Gardens,” condo spokesman Will Cooper said, “I am very pleased with the decision of the SANDAG board to revert to the northern I-5 trolley crossing alignment, which will preserve the use and enjoyment of the condominium complex for all the residents. I am especially grateful for the support of San Diego councilmember Sherri Lightner, who worked tirelessly on behalf of the local residents to ensure open and transparent government in this matter.” Echoing La Jolla condo residents’ concerns, Lightner said they “believed the trolley’s route had been resolved” only to find, following a SANDAG board vote last November, that the proposed trolley route had been shifted south and closer to them. “That action was taken without any meaningful community input or outreach and shocked the community,” Lightner said, adding that the board’s motion to revert to its earlier proposed trolley route alignment “will move the project forward without significant delay.” SANDAG board member and county Supervisor Ron Roberts, noting the Mid-Coast trolley extension proposal has “been around an awful long time,” added that the project is extremely complex, with “a number of issues, the most significant being the crossing of Interstate 5. “We moved the (trolley alignment) location and we thought there would be no significant impacts on anybody, but we wanted to find a solution that was acceptable to everyone,” said Roberts, who made the motion to defer to the trolley's previous alignment crossing I-5. The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project will extend trolley service from Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego to University City, serving Old Town, UCSD and Westfield UTC. Construction is expected to begin in 2015, with service starting in 2018.

LJCPA opposes lifeguard-tower construction La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) opposed summer construction on two lifeguard tower projects, debated the necessity of reducing dump site hazards in historic Pottery Canyon and OK'd valet parking for La Plaza boutique shopping center now under construction at its May 1 meeting. City engineer Jihad Sleiman came to the advisory group, which makes land-use recommendations to the city, on May 1 to ask planners for an exemption from the summer work moratorium so that Children’s Pool and Cove lifeguard towers could be completed sooner. “Construction on Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower was halted Dec. 13 due to the (seals) pupping season,” said Sleiman, justifying the city’s request to extend tower construction through the end of June past the
onset of the Memorial Day moratorium. If the summer moratorium is observed, Sleiman warned, completion of Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower could be delayed until Memorial Day of 2015. Bird Rock resident Mike Costello noted the summer tourist season is the busiest and “most visible” time of the year for visitors, noting construction is the “opposite” of the construction moratorium’s intent and not what visitors come to see. “I’m so sick of the city coming to us and asking us to vacate the (construction) moratorium,” said LJCPA member Janie Emerson, noting, “this is one of the iconic places to come in the world and in the City of San Diego.” A motion by LJCPA board member Patrick Ahern to grant an exemp-
Sentencing date is set in La Jolla Bank fraud A July 25 sentencing date is scheduled for a former San Diego resident who admitted making false statements to federal agents involving her role in a scheme to defraud La Jolla Bank, according to the local FBI office. According to court records, Laura Ortuondo, 33, helped her superior, small business owner Annand Sliuman, manage a loan application to La Jolla Bank. In May of 2008, she aided Sliuman in obtaining a $1.8 million loan from the bank by submitting two tax forms that falsely stated Sliuman had satisfied certain tax liabilities. Ortuondo undertook a nearly five-year effort to thwart a federal investigation of the fraud, according to court records.
She told investigators that she was unaware she had submitted false documents, destroyed a computer that contained evidence of the fraud and persuaded her husband to lie about the computer. Ortuondo faces a maximum fiveyear sentence and a $250,000 fine. Sliuman, also 33, pleaded guilty in a separate case to bribing an officer at the bank to approve loans on his behalf and admitted his role in the fraud conspiracy with Ortuondo. He is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 26. La Jolla Bank failed in 2010 and was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation after the bank ran up debt totaling $1 billion.
tion for work by the city on both La Jolla lifeguard towers to proceed during the summer was defeated by a 3-7-1 vote. “I don’t think this decision is good for La Jolla,” said Sleiman following the board vote. Joel Hyatt, of City Park & Recreation, gave a presentation on a city proposal to clean up waste and soil contaminated by hazardous waste in a portion of Pottery Canyon Park which was used as a dump site from the 1890s through the 1930s. Pottery Canyon was the home of La Jolla Canyon Clay Products Company, run by the pioneering Rodriguez family from the 1930s to the 1950s. Hyatt said evidence of small amounts of lead contamination have been found at the former dump site. Hyatt said the city is considering a remediation project to remove contaminated topsoil and “put two feet of new topsoil on the (previous) dump site.”

By DAVE SCHWAB
Don Schmidt, of La Jolla Historical Society, noted there are some “preservation issues” to be dealt with in the city’s dump remediation plans. “Part of Pottery Canyon is designated as a historical site,” Schmidt said, adding that “there could be prehistoric or historic remnants of what the Rodriguez family had done on that site that shouldn’t be leaving (through extraction) the community.” The LJCPA board also voted in favor of allowing four valet parking spaces for the new La Plaza shopping center complex being built in the 7800 block of Girard Avenue, overriding concerns expressed by some local residents that valet parking unfairly cuts into the amount of available public parking space. The next LJCPA meeting will be Thursday, June 5 at 6 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. For more information, visit www.lajollacpa.org.
Carlsbad man sentenced to jail in La Jolla By NEAL PUTNAM art gallery robbery A robber who was peppersprayed at the Carlton Gallery in La Jolla was sentenced May 7 to two years in San Diego County jail. About a dozen family members and supporters of Camron Dale Cash, 23, of Carlsbad, attended the sentencing by San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh, who also placed Cash on five years' probation. Cash had pleaded guilty on March 14 to armed robbery and two counts of grand theft. Deputy District Attorney Ted Fiorito recommended prison, and the probation department had
specifically urged a sentence of four years and four months. Cash agreed to waive his accumulated jail time as a condition of probation. Cash, who was remanded immediately, was also fined $1,484 and was ordered to pay probation costs set at $1,127. The sheriff ’s department said Cash's projected release is May 4, 2016. Walsh ruled out early release.

who view sidewalk cafés as more an obstruction than an amenity. “I’m hoping we don’t lose our public sidewalks for private, financial gain,” said Sally Miller, a longtime La Jolla resident and a fixture at community planning group and board meetings. Miller noted that La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO), the community’s blueprint for commercial development, seeks removal of most A-frame signs because they’re obstructions in the public right-of-way. Why, she asks, shouldn’t the same rationale apply to sidewalk cafés? “We’re not supposed to have public cafés in the sidewalk areas,” Miller said. “The PDO rules and regulations say there has to be eight-foot-wide clear, walkable sidewalks.” La Jolla Town Council woman Francis O’Neill Zimmerman concurred. “Outdoor cafes are lovely if they are sufficiently set off from pedestrian traffic, have table service using cutlery and dishes and permit comfortable observation of the human parade without impeding it,” she said. O’Neill Zimmerman said, “There is a huge difference between an outdoor café on a
patio (at Pannikin, MOCA and the small strip mall including Porkyland, Jose's and La Valencia) and what is getting foisted on this community as sidewalk cafés — often permanent structural barriers along the curbs serving as customer benches on the interior, maybe or maybe not under some trees, allowing not much room for pedestrians to pass between the shop front and the café (Girard Gourmet)." The Town Council woman noted outdoor cafés “sometimes are set off from the pedestrian path by ugly wrought-iron fencing and seldom, if ever, used (Spice n' Rice).” She said that, in her view, the only sidewalk café spacious enough to allow foot traffic and tables and chairs is the Bird Rock Starbuck's. “Generally, cafés end up being unsightly messes without charm and a source of litter,” O'Neill Zimmerman said. “Benches, welltended potted plants and hanging flower baskets around town would be a lot nicer than all the café clutter on our too-narrow sidewalks.” Bird Rock architect Ione Stiegler, who heads La Jolla’s PDO subcommittee, which deals with sidewalks and other public right-of-way issues, said there are clearcut rules in the city’s municipal code to prevent sidewalk encroachment. She noted La Jolla’s rules are stricter
News than the city’s. “The La Jolla PDO requires an eight-foot setback from any encroachment of sidewalks, whereas in the city of San Diego, it’s six feet,” said Stiegler adding, “That’s any encroachment — curblines, trees, power boxes, et cetera.” Stiegler said the concept behind setback requirements on sidewalks is “to allow for pedestrian traffic in both directions, three feet one way and three feet the other for the city, and four feet each way in La Jolla.” The overall objective of sidewalk setback requirements, said Stiegler, is to “create an easy flow of pedestrians on the sidewalk unencumbered by sidewalk cafés.” Speaking for merchants, Marengo said, “I would like to see more of them, if possible, and on various streets, that allow us to connect the Village into a social event of walking and shopping exercises La Jolla style. I would like to see more of this European style of dining and drinking like they have in other communities such as Del Mar and Little Italy … the only thing it has done for them is made them busier, with people gathering and socializing in their business district. As president of the merchants association, we want a lot more of that … and as a resident, I want to enjoy it the same way.”
Fires, heat force school closures; YMCA’s offer help Amid ongoing threats from area brush fires, San Diego schools closed Thursday, May 15. The decision was based on recommendations by the San Diego County Office of Education and the San Diego County Office of Emergency Management. Parents and district staff members are receiving automated telephone messages with information on the closure. At this time, it is expected that all schools will reopen on Friday, May 16.
La Jolla and local YMCAs meanwhile offered emergency child care for parents whose work and home schedules were disrupted due to fire and excessive heat. In La Jolla, the Cliffridge Y facility, at 8355 Cliffridge Ave., is offering emergency help. On a related note, some blood bank mobile drives have been redirected or canceled because of fire threats. — Staff and contribution
La Jolla fireworks display in jeopardy amid lack of funding Unless a sizable amount of donations come in — and soon — La Jolla’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show will not go on this year. Deborah Marengo, La Jolla Community Fireworks Association spokesperson, has been staging the annual Cove fireworks display the past four years since La Jolla restaurateur George Hauer, the event’s originator, stepped away from it. Marengo said it’s crunch time now as community donations, desperately needed to fund the annual patriotic event, which costs about $30,000 to stage, have not been coming in as expected.
“If I don’t have at least two-thirds of (the money) by May 25th, it (fireworks) is not going to happen,” Marengo said. She also noted that permits to host the event, the costs of which are rising, need to be secured. “It now costs $2,200 for the water quality control permit alone,” said Marengo, noting a court battle is continuing with environmental attorney Marco Gonzalez, who’s been suing La Jolla’s and other fireworks display organizations over water issues. Testing, he argues, needs to be done to ensure the displays are not harmful to the environment. The foundation was formed to promote patriotism and seasonal community spirit by preserving the annual event.

“The protection of society is attained,” Walsh said. “He’s (essentially) getting the same amount of time if he was sent to state prison.” Cash wore a mask and brandished a 9-millimeter gun when he committed the robbery on Sept. 18, 2013. Several employees were also robbed before the owner used pepper-spray on Cash. Fiorito said the money was recovered by a police officer, who found a black mask in Cash's vehicle.

Scripps La Jolla named one of nation’s 100 best hospitals
Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla is part of a five-campus network that treats 500,000 patients a year.
Becker’s Hospital Review has named Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla one of the “100 Great Hospitals in America” in its 2014 compilation of some of the most prominent, forward-thinking and focused health care facilities in the nation. According to the health care industry trade publication, the facilities included on the list are “home to many medical and scientific breakthroughs, provide best-inclass patient care and are stalwarts of their communities, serving as academic hubs or local mainstays.” “This recognition by Becker’s Hospital Review is a great tribute to the work that is performed at Scripps on a daily basis,” said Gary Fybel, senior vice president and chief executive of Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. “Everyone in our organization, including physicians, staff members and volunteers, works together to provide safe, high-quality and
compassionate care to all of our patients,” he said. The Chicago-based publication is geared toward upper-level hospital administrators and served a circulation of about 18,500. It evaluated hospital ranking sources such as U.S. News and World Report and Truven Health Analytics in determining its findings. The 318-bed hospital was the first in San Diego to receive a designation for nursing excellence. The campus is home to Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, scheduled to open in 2015. In 2013, Truven Health Analytics named Scripps Health one of the top 15 health systems in the country. U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Scripps La Jolla Hospitals and Clinics — which includes Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and Scripps Green Hospital, its affiliate — the No. 6 hospital in California and one of the top

It maintains an ambulatory care network of physician offices and 26 outpatient centers and clinics. In a related development, the hospital is one of three Scripps facilities to earn high-level performance achievement awards from the American heart and stroke associations. The award recognizes 24 consecutive months of exceeding the national benchmark in several categories of stroke care.

EDITORIAL
The sixth day and the five Samaritans In a lot of ways, Saturday is kind of our default time for frantically catching up with stuff we missed the rest of the week. Errands, kids, parents, paperwork, schoolwork, mortal spats: The rules of engagement command our attention to all these and more, and Saturday thus becomes the province of the sleep-deprived. Many biblical scholars regard Sunday as the seventh day of the week, when God rested. His excuse? We imagine he was plum tuckered from all that overtime on the sixth. So it was for one overtaxed La Jolla woman, whose recent Saturday trek across Girard Avenue would end in a case in point. She trudged the crosswalk like an acrobat, carrying two gigantic bags full of what sounded like glass containers – and the contents would be made public as she reached the other side of the street. She’d lost her footing at the curb, taking a serious header as a colossal clank and shatter echoed all the way to Carlsbad. Spent and exasperated, she sat on the mountain of shards, her arms akimbo, her language likely leaving nothing to the imagination.
That’s when La Jolla’s spirit of generosity broke through the week’s fatigue. No more than five seconds later, five onlookers – including one guy who’d pulled over in his car – gathered to help the lady, gingerly lifting her to her feet and pawing the splinters from her clothes. Earnest questions about her condition competed with the noise from the broken glass, and they stopped only when each Samaritan was persuaded that the lady was all right. Peace and health were restored to the land. The street cleaners would take it from there. If you’d seen what happened, you’ve have known that these benefactors weren’t fulfilling anybody’s sense of requirement. They were obviously from all walks of life (the guy in the car was driving a high-end Mercedes), and they’d rallied amid a sense of genuine concern. Rightly or wrongly, La Jolla and La Jollans may have a certain reputation for privilege, but that’s equaled by the size of the neighborhood’s helping hand, dropdead Saturdays notwithstanding. — Martin Jones Westlin is editor of La Jolla Village News.

Editorial LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Another look at the cross Since the early 1900s, the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial Cross has played an integral part in the life of the Village. Even before the first wooden cross was erected in 1913, a World War I veteran flew his mail-order glider from the top of the hill. In 1930, Anne Lindbergh also used the area to launch her glider. The old wooden cross was burned in 1923. The replacement cross, erected in 1934, was a tribute to veterans of World War I. The present memorial, built in 1954, stands 29 feet high and is surrounded by walkways and walls bearing photographs of veterans. It would be an insult to thousands of war veterans if the cross were to be removed. For several decades, however, a group has been actively trying to remove the cross. The federal Justice Department has now joined the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association in appealing a ruling that ordered the cross removal because of an opposing group that continues to say the cross is unconstitutional because it is an endorsement of Christianity held on federal property. Does the assault on the cross constitute an attack on our constitutional right to freedom of speech and religion? The preservation of the park and memorial is largely due to the efforts of dedicated members of the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association. Soaring into the sky, the cross imparts a sense of goodwill, peace and hope for mankind. Losing the cross would be like losing a bit of the heartbeat of La Jolla, where I’ve lived since 1953.

New theaters will probably be great, but they're not quite the White House By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN As this week's front-page story says, La Jolla is making what in the public mind — one boutique for another. With the June 1 closure of iconic Jonathan's Market, the community will lose a cultural brand that once sported a live lobster tank and served up the hands-down best deli fare in the Village; in return, it gets the latest installment in a development staple that's met with considerable success across the country over the last 40 years. In a few months, 7611 Fay Ave. will be the site of a seven-venue cineplex, replete with what lessee Boffo Cinemas calls “warm and inviting finishes” and a “hospitality-type feel.” Online reservations and reserved seating will cater to everybody's inner VIP, and refinements in the menu promise to take the comfort food a couple cuts above popcorn and Coke. This high-end concept already has face time here (note the big ArcLight Cinemas complex on La Jolla Village Drive past Genesee Avenue, which also offers reserved seating and serves stuff like beer, sandwiches and carrot cake), and, everything else being equal, there's no reason it shouldn't work in the Village locale. We wish Boffo every success in its venture, and we applaud Jonathan's owner Dallo Enterprises for its fortitude in what must have been a difficult business decision in many ways. But these days, such transactions carry a few less user-friendly elements, especially in permit-happy San Diego. The cost of building is through the roof; long-term movie demographics are never stable amid today's greater mobility; and politics dogs potential powder-keg issues like La Jolla's crumbling infrastructure. It's a jungle out there, and for all its outer beauty, the underbrush yields an indefinable threat. Fade to a typical Saturday morning in late 1950s Toledo, Ohio. Our crotchety Ford Fairlane was the lead vehicle in what amounted to a presidential motorcade, and Toledo's dog-eared Colony Theatre would morph into the White House, its immaculate grounds and servant staff standing at attention just for us. For the next three hours, the Colony was my oyster, and woe betide the plebe who'd made his way inside by mistake or to get out of the weather. There was something intensely personal about the filmgoing experience — the single-screen environment, the vastness of the seating plan and the simple, indispensable Coke and

popcorn (Milk Duds sometimes) assured my unilateral self-importance and joy, part of which would carry me through the next seven days. I love the cinema just as much today (this from a stage-crazy live theater geek), and I'm always happy to download and fire up the titles that interest me (the Frencher and more obscure, the better). When the time comes, I'm sure I'll enjoy the Boffo experience as well. But for some, its debut will signal a fundamental change in the community, and not just in its commerce. While the new cineplex will likely be a delight, so was Jonathan's (the Colony, too, for that matter) — and it came with a one-on-one, howdy-neighbor connectedness that a multi-venue theater, no matter its level of trendiness, simply isn't designed to replicate. The more youthful demographic (comprising groups of thirtyand fortysomethings who've never not known what a cineplex is) has declared its presence in La Jolla for at least the last ten years, and the neighborhood seems none the worse for wear. The new theater may help entrench that younger element, yield no effect or signal a social disconnect, however unintended, within the community's fabric. The latter option, I'm sure, is especially worrying to those who'll so dearly miss Jonathan's. Change is inevitable, even encouraged, but on a strictly human level, that doesn't mean it's always easily embraced. — Martin Jones Westlin is editor of La Jolla Village News.

UCSD graduate proud to have nearly landed Padre announcer post By DAVE SCHWAB Todd Leitz was one of two UCSD San Diego graduates, along with marine biologist Sam Chin — who also has ties to the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Center on Mission Bay — who were runners-up to New Hampshire resident Alex Miniak in the job hunt for Petco Park’s next public-address announcer. The trio was culled from a field of more than 800 who originally tried out to be the Padres’ next P.A. announcer. That voluminous field was narrowed down to 50, then 30, then 10 — with the help of a fan vote. It finally led to the last three standing. Miniak bested Chin and Leitz after each had the opportunity to announce a full game at Petco Park. A senior account executive with Gigunda Group, Miniak said he plans to move to San Diego, leaving his current role as the public-address announcer for the New Hampshire
Fisher Cats, the Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. “Alex has the iconic voice that we were looking for, and we’re excited to welcome him to the TODD LEITZ Padres family,” said Padres chief marketing officer Wayne Partello. He said Miniak, who was picked from “a tremendous pool of talent,” has “the right voice to take us into the next era of Petco Park.” Leitz, the first-runner-up for the announcing job, said the three-monthlong selection process was a real learning experience, adding he has no regrets and no hard feelings about not being picked. A Studio City resident in Los Angeles, Leitz is a public-information officer
for MYSAFE: LA. He is a former radio news anchor and reporter. “I’ve always loved baseball, and I thought, ‘I could do that. How fun would that be?,’” said Leitz about the seasonal, part-time position. Leitz came back to San Diego four or five times in three months for auditions. “I’m proud they liked my voice and of how I handled myself,” Leitz said, adding he felt the edge Miniak had in besting his final two opponents was his “eight seasons of experience as a minor-league announcer.” Leitz said he’d do it all again, too. “I hope I have another chance to audition for some other major league team. I thank the Padres for the opportunity and for a fun ride,” he said.
“I’m proud they liked my voice and of how I handled myself.”
Three area scholastic baseball teams making a pitch for the playoffs With CIF playoffs right around the corner, three area scholastic baseball teams are hoping to make their mark in the post-season. At La Jolla High School, head coach Gary Frank and the Vikings headed into this week with a record of 15-8 (7-2 league play). According to Frank, some key players to date include senior shortstop Brett Volger (.329 batting average with five doubles, set school record for most games played in a career); senior third baseman Alex Eliopulos (.333 batting average, five doubles, three triples, a home run, and 12 RBI’s); senior pitcher Sam Schneider (6-2 record, with a 1.10 ERA); junior second baseman/pitcher Tim Holdgrafer (.368 batting average with three doubles and 13 RBI’s, 6-2 record as a
pitcher with a 1.95 ERA); and junior right fielder/pitcher Weston Clark (.319 batting average and 1.81 ERA on the mound). As of the start of the week, La Jolla was in first place in the Western League (one game up on Madison) with three games left to play. “Our goal is to win the first league title since 2007 and fourth in school history, and compete for a Division II CIF championship,” Frank commented. Heading into action this week, the La Jolla Country Day School Torreys, under head coach John Edman, sat at 11-9 (3-3 in league). “We have lost three close games in the league that have put us in the running for second place but not a championship,”
Edman said. LJCD lost 3-2 and 7-4 to Santa Fe Christian, along with a 3-2 setback to Parker. In another meeting with Parker, LJCD tallied a 4-1 win on the strength of freshman pitcher Brennan Rubin's five-inning, onerun performance. Brandon Wachs had a huge two-RBI double to give the Torreys a 4-1 lead in the fifth inning. “So far, Brennan has been our standout on the mound, with a 3-2 record and an impressive 1.31 ERA, 38 strikeouts in 37 innings pitched,” Edman added. Offensively, Keaton Weisz (.369 with 11 runs, 3 doubles, 3 triples, a homer and 11 stolen bases), Wachs (.358 with 14 RBI, 7 doubles and 2 homers) and Dylan Robert-
son (.462 with 14 runs, 10 RBI, 3 doubles, 1 home run and, 7 stolen bases) are having big years. “Our goal for the rest of the year,” Edman said, “is to finish as high as we can in the league and then get in and make a run in the playoffs (Division I this year).” At The Bishop’s School, head coach Joe Centanni and the Knights entered action this week with an overall mark of 10-11. According to Centanni, key players to date include shortstop Bulla Graft, catcher Jamie Abrams and first baseman/outfielder Cyrus Nolan. “Our goal is to finish the regular season on a high note and make a run in the Division IV playoffs,” Centanni said.

Former La Jolla synagogue director to face mail fraud sentence By NEAL PUTNAM The former executive director of the La Jolla synagogue Beth El will be sentenced in U.S. District Court June 27 after pleading guilty to mail fraud. Eric Levine, who served as synagogue director from 2007 until his resignation in 2013, admitted to embezzling funds from Beth El by transferring his credit card and travel expense balances to the synagogue's credit card accounts and falsified the books, according to the U.S. Attorney's office. The U.S. Attorney's office cites the loss at nearly $400,000. Levine hid the payments under false categories and janitorial expenses and utilities. He spent $7,053.39 at a La Jolla jewelry store, $9,656 to the Disney vacation club and $1,400 for a personal trainer and monthly membership dues at a fitness club. Levine faces up to 20 years in federal prison. He is free on $25,000 bond, and his passport was surrendered to U.S. District Court. Restitution could reduce his sentence.

Luncheon draws a bead on gowns Fashion Files
Diana Cavagnaro
The Globe Guilders held its annual fashion show on May 9, featuring international designer Naeem Khan. Neiman Marcus and Hilton San Diego Bayfront presented the luncheon and fashion show. Sandy Redman was honorary chairwoman, and Lois Lewis was fashion show chair. “Cabaret” was the theme for the Khan fall collection presentation. The runway had gorgeous beaded gowns reminiscent of the Great Gatsby era, with one weighing in at 17 pounds. Each piece was a work of art, with an emphasis on detail, such as beadwork, embroidery and feathers. This year, Khan showed a day collection with prints that looked threedimensional and finished the show with his bridal line, launched last year. “I like clothes that make a statement or create drama,” Khan said, adding that he wants them to stand on their own.
The standouts were the leopard line. Some of the dresses had printed fabric with leopard, and others were crafted with sequins to resemble leopard (my favorite was a fur jacket dyed to resemble leopardskin). This beadwork is done in Khan's workshop in India, and the work is assembled in New York. I asked Khan what's coming up, and he said, “At the end of the year, I will launch a daywear business, so look for that.” The Globe Guilders are a volunteer auxiliary group of The Old Globe Theatre. Their efforts go toward the Globe’s artistic, education and community programs, which this event benefits.

Arts & Entertainment La Jolla Playhouse names resident theater company for 2014-15 La Jolla Playhouse, the acclaimed local live performance venue and one of a handful of regional theaters in the United States, has named San Diego’s Circle Circle dot dot as its 2014-15 resident theater company. Spearheaded by Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley in 2008, the residency program seeks to encourage the development of local performing arts organizations while contributing to the San Diego theater scene. The program provides a temporary home and sound and lighting support each season to a troupe without a permanent venue. “In just a few short years,” Ashley said, “Circle Circle dot dot has displayed a startling sense of ambition, adventure and creativity, devising plays alongside local communities and branching out into site-based shows. That commitment to new work and new forms resonates with the Playhouse's own mission and makes CCdd a natural choice for our next resident theater company.” Circle Circle dot dot, established in 2010, aims to engage audiences by creating original theater from local stories. In addition to the physical plant, the Playhouse provides its resident companies with market-

The story centers on a crew sent to Mars to test a luxurious resort intended for the socially elite and the psychological extremities they could never prepare for.

Finch's to hold fundraiser for UCSD's La Jolla Y and partners offering summer camps Moores Cancer Center director of La Jolla Y youth procanoeing and talent shows, Summer is the ideal time for kids
Rarely can a group of internationally trained executive chefs be found on the same continent at the same time, let alone at a bistro in La Jolla cooking up a storm to raise money for cancer. But that is what Martin San Roman (San Roman Catering), Martin Gonzalez (Aqua al d Due & Toast Enoteca), Flor Franco (Encuentro Guadalupe & Indulge Cuisine), Damasso Lee (Chateau La Jolla) and Fernanda Piembert (Sam the Cooking Guy) will be doing on Monday, May 19 -- preparing an extraordinary wine-paired dinner at Finch’s Bistro & Wine Bar, 7644 Girard Ave., an award-winning local eatery known for its community support of worthy causes. “As a local’s gathering spot and eatery, we consider ourselves more than just a restaurant,” said Linda Ravden, the active partner in this family-run bistro. Ravden has positioned Finch’s as an intrinsic part of the local community and offers many weekly programs there,
such as Monday evening’s Wine 101, Wednesday’s lunchtime Woman’s Wag and Fashion Fridays, which partners with local boutiques and supports consignment boutique My Girlfriend’s Closet, among others. Finch’s also participates in major fundraising events for the Make a Wish Foundation, Mama’s Kitchen and Promises 2 Kids. The recipient in the Monday event is the Moores Cancer Center Healing Foods Kitchen at UCSD, run by Susan Faerber. Supported solely by donations, she runs a series of free cooking classes that teach cancer survivors to cook and eat healthfully. The dinner honors host chef Mario Medina’s wife Amalia, a recent cancer survivor. The menu will showcase six courses of contemporary Mexican cuisine, accompanied by selected wines of the Guadalupe Valley. The winemakers will be there to present and talk about their fare. There will be two dinner seatings, at 5 and 8 p.m. For more information, contact Ravden at (858) 456 4056 or at info@finchslajolla.com.

Senior Lifestyles Doing it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. How often have you heard people say that someone is spiritual? I always wonder what they mean exactly, and when asked, no one has ever given me a satisfactory explanation until now. Dr. Dean H. Hamer, a geneticist at the National Institute of Health postulates in his book, “The God Gene,” about the origins of spirituality. He writes that new discoveries in behavioral genetics and neurobiology indicate we have a predisposed, inherent need to embrace a higher power. In other words, he says, we are genetically programmed to believe in something larger than ourselves. Throughout history, humans have worshipped a variety of gods (in ancient Egypt, it was the sun god Ra). Ancestor worship is still prevalent around the world. Primitive tribes have sacrificed animals and humans to appease their gods and made offerings of food to altars in order to gain a favor, be it a better crop or healing an injury or doing a dance to a rain god to ease a drought. We are not that different today. Whether we pray to Allah, Jehovah, Jesus or the multitude of

Testing for spirituality Hindu gods, we still invoke a higher power or powers who can hear us and act on our behalf. Some of us pray to a god to save an ill child, others for peace in the world or to win a sports competition. And all believe that their particular god is on their side. Hamer devised a self-transcendence scale based on the work of Dr. Robert Cloninger of the Washington University Medical School. It measures the ability to see oneself as part of a large, connected universe. This scale is based on three components of spirituality: self-forgetfulness, transpersonal identification and mysticism. I extrapolated from it the following:
Transpersonal identification
Are you concerned about protecting animals and plants from extinction? Do you feel a sense of unity with all the things around you? The hallmark of this trait is a feeling of connectedness to the universe and everything in it— animate and inanimate, human and nonhuman, anything and everything that can be seen, heard, smelled or otherwise sensed. People who score high for transpersonal identification can become deeply emotionally attached to other people, animals, trees, flowers, streams or mountains. They feel that everything is part of one living organism.
Self-forgetfulness
Do you ever get so involved with a project that you forget where you are or what time it is? Have you ever loved someone so deeply that you felt like there was no boundary between the two of you? Spiritual people score high for self-forgetfulness, the first component of self-transcendence. Selfforgetful people often experience flashes of insight or understanding when they are in this frame of mind. Creativity is maximized; originality is fostered. Even the most ordinary things seem fresh and new.
Tamara Rodriguez Mehl finds life lessons in 'Annie' Annie is slated to get her gun through May 25 as San Diego Musical Theatre presents Annie Get Your Gun , the 1950 musical love story centering on big-time sharpshooters Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Librettist Peter Stone added a secondary romance to the 1999 Broadway revival; beyond that, the show's pop-culture standards, like “There's No Business Like Show Business” and “Anything You Can Do,” are as recognizable as ever. To some University City residents, one ensemble member might be recognizable too. She's Tamara Rodriguez Mehl, who teaches at rancho Santa Fe's Rhythm Yoga Dance Studio and is assistant musical director at The Village Church Rancho Santa Fe. She has numerous musical and theater credits on her resume – but she's especially enthusiastic about the Annie experience. "Being in this production,” Mehl said, “has been so gratifying in so many ways. Not only are we singing and dancing to one of the most beautiful musical scores ever written for Broadway, but as

“Assisting with care needs when you need a little help”
1. When I write, I lose sight of time; when my husband was alive, I often felt like we were one. 2. I am a pantheist — my molecules vibrate in unison with the world around me. 3. I can be moved to tears by music or a poem, and indeed, I feel connected to some people without an explanation, incomprehensible, unconditional love. So I guess I am a spiritual person, which surprised me. I had never thought of myself that way. I have lived my life more in my rational left brain but have recently become more open to rightbrain experiences — everything seems possible.
Do you sometimes feel a spiritual connection to other people that can’t be explained in words? Individuals who score high for mysticism are fascinated by things that can’t be explained by science. They see a parking space that opens up just in the nick of time as evidence of a higher power. Often, they feel they have a “sixth sense” or extrasensory perception. They may believe in miracles. From what I gather, spirituality does not have to have anything to do with religion or belief in a particular god but more with a feeling of connectedness to all things in the universe. It may or may not include a specific deity or his or her emissaries, and it may or may not include a belief in the possibility of being heard by this god or emissary. In taking this test, I scored high in all dimensions:

Moonlit Mambo in Havana and Moores’ fight against cancer Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas With summer approaching, those dedicated ladies of Las Patronas are working full speed on their annual Jewel Ball gala, scheduled for August 2 at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. Taking a short break recently to host a brunch at the La Jolla Community Center, they gave interested parties a preview of their preparations. Titled Moonlit Mambo, the event will evoke the vibrant colors
excellence in care, and research there is leading to innovative changes in the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. Arguably, everyone has been or will be affected by cancer, either personally or through friends or relatives. One in every two men, and one in every three women, will be diagnosed with cancer sometime in their lifetimes. Directly or indirectly, the disease strikes us all. The disease has many forms and reacts differently with respect to each individual. Moores is pioneering the practical application of genomic medicine, immunotherapy and stem cell research, developing treatments personalized for individual patients — and for the near term, not the distant future. Research depends greatly on
and romantic energy of 1950s Cuba, with entertainment reflecting Cuban music that harkens to the famed Tropicana Club. Vintage American cars will be on display, with overall ambiance reminiscent of Havana at its most beautiful, as enjoyed by such greats as Hemingway and Sinatra, but juxtaposed with unexpected twists of 21st-century technology and design elements. The black-tie event will attract nearly 850 guests. Proceeds, projected to approach $1 million, will be distributed to dozens of worthy major and minor San Diego County beneficiaries. UCSD's Moores Cancer Center has been designated a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute. Numerous other accolades from national organizations honor its
the vision and generosity of philanthropists and donors at all levels. Moores’ 33rd annual fundraiser, its Spark gala, was held recently at the Hyatt Aventine. The 510 attendees enjoyed a wine tasting and elegant hors d’oeuvres by chef Matt Richman. For the seated dinner, chef Bernard Guillas concocted a deliciously complex salad and an excellent entrée of marinated local sea bass. Dessert was chef Margaret Nolan Carvallo’s trio of cheesecake, local berries and chocolate ganache. A live auction raised over $100,000; paddle-raise pledges (topped by $200,000 from Lisa and Steve Altman) brought in another $1.5 million. An anonymous donor matched that sum, and $1 million matches from
UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla and UCSD health system CEO Paul Viviano increased total proceeds to more than $5 million to help fund the Hospital for Cancer Care at Jacobs Medical Center. This in-patient cancer facility opens 2016 (currently, Moores is outpatient only). Tony and Grammy Award winning entertainer Heather Headley sang a soulful rendition of “At Last.” She continued with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz,” being obviously pregnant (she said she could envision Dorothy being older and pregnant … ). A chorus of two dozen joined her for her later songs. The audience responded with a standing ovation, and the evening concluded with a DJ playing for dancing until quite late.

Vacations are more than breaks in routine; sometimes, the experience changes lives By JULIE MAIN
All of us experience changes in our lifetimes. Our kids grow up. We move, we divorce, we change career directions. Change comes with age and circumstance. Now that I find myself without a (domestic) partner, I have the opportunity to view my life direction in an entirely different way. I feel a new sense of freedom and independence. After an acquaintance (who traveled through the Galapagos Islands with me in 2012) suggested I start doing things for myself, I decided to take a trip to Africa. Consulting my proverbial bucket list, I concluded that Africa was not to become a holiday destination — the trip was an effort to rediscover myself, to remember who I am and what excites me. To that end, I explored the possibilities for turning it into a volunteer working vacation. After much due diligence, I made arrangements through International Volunteer HQ, a New Zealand firm that provides volunteer programs in developing countries worldwide. I selected a three-week program that would fit my Christmas holiday schedule, opting for volunteer work at an orphanage in Kenya. I chose the Kenya Masai Mara program because it fulfilled many things on that bucket list.

Jane Goodall was in the wings At a very early age, I had fantasized about working alongside famed British anthropologist Louis Leaky after learning of the 1974 discovery of “Lucy” by Leakey's team in Kenya's Great Rift Valley trench. I got to see Lucy, whose skeleton is said to be 3.2 million

years old, in Nairobi's National Museum. I thought that perhaps I could be another Jane Goodall, who got her start with Leakey. After all, she was just a young college student who happened to be at the right place at the right time; she was given the task of studying the Bonobo monkeys in the Congo, and — well, you know the rest. Additionally, I have always wanted to go on safari. After an eight-hour venture into the valley, I and other volunteers got to see the animals loosely termed the Big Five – the lion, the African elephant, the Cape buffalo, the leopard and the rhinoceros – up close and personal. I enjoyed my one hot shower on the entire trip in my safari tent! And what about the tall, beautiful Masai people? The contrast of the Masai draped in colorful red and orange cloaks and beads against the greening pastures, blue skies and acacia trees kept our cameras busy. Nairobi, San Diego are similar As my favorite movie of all time is “Out of Africa,” I was thrilled to stand on the front porch of writer Karen Blixen’s home and imagine what it was like to live as she did during a patriarchal period of modern African history (Blixen, who died in 1962, penned her account of her life in Kenya under the name of Isak Dinesen). I enjoyed a sloppy kiss from a Rothschild giraffe and laughed as the baby elephants playfully enjoyed their lunch at the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, located near Nairobi National Park. After 24 hours, several in-flight movies and a span of 18 days, I concluded that Nairobi in general

is very similar to San Diego. The climate and vegetation seemed familiar, and I found Kenyans to be very friendly in general, quite beautiful and of the Christian faith. English and Kiswahili are the official languages, and most Kenyans have their own tribal language as well. I was not chosen to be sent to a rural community for my volunteer work, as I had hoped, but found myself staying in the second largest slum in Nairobi. My homestay was in a (fairly) western-style home. I bunked and volunteered together with a lovely young gal from Canada (half my age) and shared the (cold) shower and bathroom with several young volunteer adults from various parts of the world. A mountain of potatoes I had the privilege of sharing the home of Pastor Regina and her husband Pastor George (who ran the orphanage at which I volunteered), and their two younger children, McKenna and Vicki. I became good friends with Jane, the housekeeper. Most things we needed were available in the slum, including bottled water, an electrical current converter, flip-flops, toilet paper and fresh fruit and veggies. Each morning, we enjoyed Chai tea, which consists of milk cooked the night before, mixed with brown sugar and tea and made with love. Grace Academy Lighthouse orphanage was a 20-minute walk through the slum. Our work included wrapping protective plastic around new textbooks, teaching classes and art projects, such as stringing beads for necklaces and bracelets (a favorite among the kids), peeling a mountain of potatoes and playing an invigorating game of basketball. Most of the children are HIV orphans, blessed by the good work of orphanage founders. The orphanage has a rainwater system that provides water, warm quarters to sleep (often two to a bunk), a solid meal a day and a full curriculum. All the money to run the facility comes from local donations and church members. Many orphanages do not fare as well – no running water, little food, poor accommodations and greedy overseers, resulting in sickly, unattended children. Meanwhile, the volunteers visited the local mall, picking up supplies such as writing paper, scissors, pencils, knives (for peeling potatoes), tape and tape dispensers, books and whatever we felt was needed.

The boys need to visit Africa The children were gracious and well mannered. People go out of their way to open their homes to you, even if the home is a oneroom apartment with a charcoal stove. The Kenyans' strong Christian beliefs sustain them during difficult times and provides hope for the future. I traveled to Africa to give of my time, with the hope of making someone’s life a tiny bit better. What I brought back was so much more than I could have imagined (my first desire upon returning home was to send my two boys to Africa for a dose of humbling). We are a gluttonous society, so caught up in our material world, working harder so we can have more, while too many people have
too little or nothing at all. The Masai have survived on the milk and blood of their cattle, and the millions of slum dwellers live day to day hoping for a meal. I saw orphans who feel blessed to have a warm bed at night and count on a meal the next day. They feel lucky to be given the chance for an education. I met people who appreciate the kindness of others and are not concerned about the type of car you drive or what designer purse you purchased. I may have put a smile on a child’s face or provided some temporary supplies for one small orphanage, but what I brought home made an impression on me that will last a lifetime.

Torrey Pines Hotel. “In the past,” Haskins began, “we had a problem with a trustee related to funds of the Town Council, and this is something that really needs to be dealt with.” He said the council must “follow ethics no matter what” in order to “maintain the integrity of the group.” Haskins called for the board to initiate a vote of the council’s full membership to seek Gardner's removal from office. Gardner organized the Dancing with the Stars fundraiser. “Nancy Gardner,” Haskins continued, “acted without the voting approval of the Town Council in presenting a donation to an unauthorized organization completely misleading the public.” He said that some funds from the dancing event have somehow recently turned up missing. Trustee and Realtor Charles Schevker said he was “bewildered” by the recent turn of events in the fundraiser's aftermath, noting he resigned from participating in the event because “I saw what appeared to me to be an apparent disregard for financial controls and security, saw that as a possible future problem, and didn’t want to be associated with that.” Gardner responded that it was
which is developing and changing.” Dallo said Boffo will take control of Jonathan’s on June 1, the date of the market's closure. He said the boutique market’s approximately 45 employees will be offered employment elsewhere at the company’s Harvest Ranch locations in El Cajon and Encinitas and at its Foodland Markets in South Bay. For a number of reasons, Fastlicht said La Jolla was the perfect choice for their new theater concept. “La Jolla is a great market, has fabulous demographics — the right population density, the right average household income, the right education levels, the culture and sophistication,” he said, noting the community “has lacked a movie theater for many years.” La Jolla had a single-screen theater, the art-moderne-style Cove, at 7730 Girard Ave. The Cove was built in 1948. In 2002, it was sold and converted into a Europeanstyle furniture store. Currently, the nearest movie theaters to the Village are on La Jolla Village Drive and in La Jolla Village Square. Wellman and Fastlicht said there was a “void in the [La Jolla] market,” adding they wanted to “develop something here” given that the

unnecessary to put the matter to a full vote of the council’s membership and that she would resign. Defending her actions, Gardner said, “There was no way one person could have run that entire event and also handle all the finances. My job was to oversee the event, which I did. I never had control of the money; my name is not on the bank account; I don’t have any (account) access.” The Town Council board voted near unanimously to initiate a vote of the council's nearly 580 members to oust Gardner, with only Gardner herself and one other trustee voting against Haskins' motion for Gardner’s ouster. Following the May 8 meeting, Haskins said he had proof that Gardner had access to the Town Council's account into which dance fundraising proceeds had been placed. He also said Gardner's resig-
nation was not official, as it had not been approved by the Town Council board at the May 8 meeting. Firefighter Eric Topacio gave a slideshow presentation to the council on his new invention, the Cedar Valve, a detachable fire hose connection that he said saves invaluable seconds disengaging from a water source. He said he believes his invention could ultimately save lives and countless property damage in combating wildfires. Topacio, who lost a colleague in a fire fight, said he has made it his mission to convince firefighting agencies regionwide of his device's viability. He said he's vowed “that I was going to make a difference, make a change, in the fire service.” The next Town Council meeting will be Thursday, June 12, at 5 p.m. at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St.
Jewel is a “unique, wonderful destination... incredibly difficult — if not impossible — to replicate.” Fastlicht said his vision revolves around retro in that it harkens to the glory days of Hollywood, when movies were king. “We are returning to 50, 60 years ago, when going to a movie was an event,” he said, noting that concept has been lost with commercialization and the development of malls and multiplexes. “The theater just became another anchor,” Fastlicht said, adding that’s about to change. “We want people to make a conscious decision to come here (theater) because they want to be pampered,” he said, adding that a Boffo patron will no longer be “one of 300 people in an auditorium having to wait three, four or five deep in a concession line. Though our concept may not be right for everyone everywhere, the beauty of it is we will be right in the middle of a town that has the culture, the sophistication and the willingness to appeciate it.” Noting it’s “regretful that Jonathan’s is closing," Fastlicht pointed out that “times change.” “We really think this theater will have the ability to propel the village of La Jolla for the next couple of decades,” he said. “It should really become a classic.” For more information about Boffo, visit www.boffocinemas.com.

IN BLOOM A Jacaranda, San Diego's official nonnative tree, dwarfs everything else in its path.
By LINDA MARRONE
Right now, many areas of San Diego are dressed in a blaze of brilliant lilac-blue color, compliments of the many Jacaranda trees planted here over the years. A native of the high, dry areas of Brazil and Northwestern Argentina, the Jacaranda is very much at home in our Southern California climate. The first time I noticed this beautiful tree was on Maui. It was spring, and the trees looked like lavender clouds floating along the winding road leading to the top of Haleakula crater. There are more than 50 different species in the Jacaranda family, with Jacaranda mimosiflora being the most widely planted and admired. The Jacaranda is often chosen to line avenues because its shallow root structure will not pull up the concrete. The City of San Diego has chosen the Jacaranda as a suitable tree for our boulevards, in our parks and other public settings; in 2000, it became the city's official nonnative tree. The Jacaranda grows fast and thrives in fertile, well-drained, sunny areas, and it requires moderate watering. If it receives too much water, the leaves will appear before the blossoms, and you will not have the usual showy display of flowers. Along the coast, the tree needs protection from our damp, cool winds, while in other areas of the county it requires protection from frost in its early years. The tree is deciduous and will lose its leaves in the winter. The clusters of lilac-blue trumpet-shaped flowers appear in late spring on the bare grayish-brown branches, creating a

striking contrast in color. Before the full foliage appears, the flowers fall to the ground, forming a velvety blanket of blue. By midsummer, the tree will be covered with fernlike green foliage that provides filtered sunlight. Later in the season, leathery seedpods will appear where the flowers once bloomed. The Village Garden Club of La Jolla has a wonderful program that involves planting a Jacaranda as a living tribute to someone special. Late club member Sylvia Simpson Coleman started the program in 1986. Sylvia dreamed of San Diego becoming the Jacaranda capital of the United States; because of the club's continued efforts, her dream is coming true. For a donation of $50, a tree can be planted in memory of a deceased person, in honor of a living person, to commemorate a life milestone or just to help make San Diego more colorful. The trees are planted in public places throughout the county. The project has planted more than 2,200 Jacarandas to date. Checks should be made out to the Village Garden Club of La Jolla, Jacaranda Project, and mailed to Jacaranda Project, P.O. Box 99934, San Diego 92169. The club will contact you with information on when and where the trees are planted and the dedication date. And remember: If you walk under a Jacaranda tree and one of its lovely blue flowers falls on your head, it is said you will experience good luck!
JUST LISTED!
The La Jolla Historical Society has a secret – and it's keeping mum until Saturday at 10 a.m. That's when the group will launch its 16th annual Secret Garden Tour of La Jolla, with the locations kept under wraps until ticket holders pick up their wristbands and programs at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. Large, small, recent and mature spaces and arrangements by local designers are featured, with musicians and artists on hand for interpretive support. The artists' tour-inspired works will be on display June 2 to 27 at Wall Street Art in Framing, 1113 Wall St. The society developed the tour to highlight the community's architectural heritage and its pool of architectural talent. The tour can be either self-guided or begun with a brunch at Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa, 9700 North Torrey Pines Road, which includes shuttle service and a docent guide. For more information, call (858) 459-5335.

Final fate of De Anza residents rests with judge
By DAVE SCHWAB
STAIRWAY TO PHILANTHROPY La Jolla painter Scott Gillen got a special thanks for work he did for free recently, painting the benches and stairs at the "penalty box," at the end of Nautilus Street at Windansea Beach. "He literally painted those stairs for us for nothing, paid for the paint and everything," said longtime La Jollan Melinda Merryweather, a member of the grass-roots group Friends of Windansea. Merryweather said Gillen also painted the stairs at the end of Westbourne Street. "He's a hero, a good guy who's been around La Jolla forever," added MerPHOTO BY DAVE SCHWAB ryweather.
BAYSIDE BATTLEGROUND After a decade of wrangling, city officials are about to learn how much it will cost to displace residents of the De Anza Cove mobile-home park on Mission Bay. In turn, residents will find out if they will get monthly payments or a lump sum to be forced from their homes. Photo by Don Balch

How much and how often the city must pay residents of De Anza Cove mobile-home park to relocate following a decade-long court battle is in the hands of a Superior Court judge. Judge Charles Hayes is expected to decide soon what the city should pay mobile-home park residents in relocation fees. The process of trying to remove residents from the 75-acre park on prime real estate jutting into the water in Mission Bay Park west of Interstate 5 was initiated by the
city in 2003. Ultimately, the city reached a $3.6 million settlement agreement on one of three lawsuits involving current and former residents of the 500-unit De Anza Cove Resort mobile-home park. The settled dispute stems from the treatment residents said they received by a management company retained by the city to run the day-to-day operations of the park after the prime bay-front real estate was taken over by the city in November 2003.

De Anza residents claim strongarm tactics were used by the city to coerce residents to leave, like overly strict security measures and multitudinous speed bumps, highintensity Klieg lights and barbedwire fencing throughout the property. It is yet unclear whether the judge will order the city to offer up monthly payments to residents, as it is seeking, or whether the judge will mandate the city to pay a lump sum to residents up front.
Outpatient breast care unit opens Pacific Building Group has renovated Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla to accommodate a 4,700square-foot outpatient breast care unit. The Emily Fenton Hunter Breast Care Center is now open for patient care. The project involved remodeling a portion of the existing third floor of Scripps Green Hospital to accommodate the outpatient unit. The new center includes five treatment rooms with state-of-the-art technology and soothingly appointed diagnostic spaces, including three mammography suites, a stereotactic suite and two ultrasound rooms. Before moving into its new space, the hospital’s breast care center was located on the first floor of the adjacent Anderson Outpatient Pavilion at Scripps Clinic Torrey Pines. The new center offers all of the same services as before, in a more patientfriendly environment. Pacific Building Group worked with Rodriguez Park Architecture and Planning and Young + Co. Interior Design on the facility. Pacific Building Group team members included project executive Hollis Gentry, project manager Karin Fowler, and senior superintendents Brett Doop and Dave Harper.
