SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER GROUP

THIS YEAR'S EFFORT FELL FLAT The fallout from this year's Watermelon Drop, the oldest tradition at UCSD, didn't come close to record-breaking territory, but that didn't dampen the spirits of participants and spectators.

The tradition, begun in 1965 on the strength of a professor's simple theory, has the year's Watermelon Queen drop a watermelon from the seventh floor of Urey Hall in an attempt to break the school splat record (167 feet, 4 inches, set in 1974). This year, the impact spread a measly 49 feet, 6 inches; the first year's splat measured 91 feet. The melon's velocity on impact is about 112 miles an hour. About 500 attend the annual event, which features you-know-what at the afterparty.

Fireworks negotiations fizzle Event canceled despite the collection of sufficient funds at eleventh hour Eleventh-hour negotiations to save this year’s Fourth of July La Jolla Cove fireworks display in Ellen Browning Scripps Park failed, and the event has fizzled for 2014.

“After 29 years of strong community support and four years of litigation to preserve the Fourth of July La Jolla Cove fireworks display in Ellen Browning Scripps Park, the nonprofit La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation has finally raised sufficient funding for the 2014 show,” said foundation spokesperson Deborah Marengo on the group’s website at lajollafireworks.org.

“However, the foundation regrets to inform the community that this year's 2014 Fourth of July event has been unable to retain a fireworks company at this late juncture. The 2014 Fourth of July Fireworks at La Jolla Cove will need to be cancelled because of the lack of any available licensed fireworks companies to perform the show.”

It costs the foundation about $30,000 per year to stage the event.

Marengo said litigation by environmental activists seeking tighter regulations for fireworks displays held over water has “unfortunately significantly delayed the necessary 2014 funding to the point where all available fireworks companies have become committed to other events.”

Encinitas-based Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation has filed several lawsuits against the city's permitting process for events, including those involving fireworks.

Following its fourth action in 2011, it issued a statement that read, “Unfortunately, the city has instead chosen to vilify environmentalists, delay and avoid dealing with the issues head-on, and sidestep the law. All of this is being done for the right to play favorites with certain annual events."

Marengo said the city has been “wonderfully supportive in continuing the La Jolla event and has incurred substantial expense in settling the four years of litigation by environmental activists.” She said all submitted donations will be refunded upon request.

Marengo said there’s hope for the future.

“With the four years of litigation now behind us, the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation looks forward to putting on the 2015 Fourth of July event at La Jolla Cove,” said Marengo.

“Many thanks to the community for supporting this important civic event, and we sincerely regret this year's disappointing news. It has been a privilege to serve the community in celebration of America's independence,” she said.

Disability-ramp advocates launch drive for Children’s Pool access

By DAVE SCHWAB Referring to it as the “grandfather of disability ramps,” advocates are clamoring to get La Jolla’s Children’s Pool’s access ramp now under construction brought up to current Americans with Disabilities

Act (ADA) standards. The proaccess group Restoring Access to Many People (RAMP) has launched a drive to petition the California Coastal Commission (CCC) to restore safe access by disabled people to the beach at Children’s Pool.

“This is the only ocean pool, not only in La Jolla but on the West Coast, that’s been accessible for the disabled,” said RAMP spokesperson Cheri Jacobs Aspen. “It’s a cruel joke that they’re constructing new ADA-accessible showers

at the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower when there’s no ramp to get the disabled down to the showers.”

Jacobs Aspen said she began a petition drive May 8 to get the CCC to direct that Children’s Pool’s new lifeguard tower, now under construction, have its ramp leading down to the beach upgraded to current ADA standards.

Disabled-rights advocates say manmade Children’s Pool had a serviceable ramp for the disabled as early as the 1940s, built to accom-

modate wheelchairs, walkers, the elderly and toddlers, until it fell into disrepair in recent times.

Herself disabled, Jacobs Aspen insists that making Children’s Pool truly ADA-accessible once again would “put San Diego on the ADA map of the world.”

Jacobs Aspen said she’s gotten about 260 signatures counted toward her ultimate goal of 1,000.

BRCC declines to take a position on Christmas parade's name

By DAVE SCHWAB Community activist Howard Singer was rebuffed in his attempt to secure the endorsement of the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) in his quest to give the La Jolla Christmas parade a nonreligious name.

“The Bird Rock Community Council does not have a position on this issue,” said Jacqueline Bell, group president, in June. “Per our articles of incorporation, we are a Bird-Rock-focused organization.

The La Jolla parade falls outside of our purview.”

The La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival, now in its 57th year and run by the private,

nonprofit La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival Foundation, attracts more than 20,000 visitors to the streets of the Village in early December.

Decrying the Christian-inspired parade name as “noninclusive” and not representative of La Jolla’s diversity, Singer (who is Jewish) and other activists have been lobbying off and on since 2005 to have Christmas removed from the parade name.

Nine years ago, a handful of critics, including Singer, were successful in bringing the parade name change to a secret ballot vote of La Jolla Town Council, the event’s original sponsor. The effort to make the name faith-neutral fell short by a

single vote of councilmembers at that time.

Singer said “there are 10 major events, everything from two San Diego college football bowls to a two-night event in Balboa Park,” all of which have changed their names to “holiday” or something faithneutral, like “December Nights” in the case of Balboa Park.

Asked if he would be willing to place the faith-neutral name issue on an election ballot, Singer replied he would not.

IN OTHER ACTION

• Gabriel Uribe, proprietor of a new restaurant coming to town — to be named Bird Rock Oyster and Sushi Bar (formerly Station Sushi) — said his restaurant is scheduled for a June 13 Health Department inspection, after which, if all goes well, he will be able to announce an opening date.

• Bell encouraged local residents

to attend the BRCC’s annual picnic barbecue on Aug. 5, catered by Beaumont’s restaurant.

• Pablo Lanatta, owner of Adrenalina The Longboard Specialty Skateshop, at 5726 La Jolla Blvd., suite 105, told the BRCC he has launched a petition drive securing the names of local merchants advocating that the west side of the 5700 block of La Jolla Boulevard be changed to two-hour unmetered parking to prevent people — many of whome are Bird Rock employees, from parking there all day, disrupting customer flow.

• BRCC board member Barbara Dunbar, in charge of the community’s Maintenance Assessment District, which pays for median and other landscape improvements, said someone has been stealing trees, roots and all. She asked anyone with information on the thefts to report them at info@birdrockcc.org.

CONT. FROM PG. 1

Faulconer 'Meet the Mayor' set June 16 at rec center Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman will address City Council District 1 residents Monday, June 16 at 5 p.m. at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 617 Prospect St., as part of his “Meet the Mayor” Town Hall parley series.

The officials will take questions from the audience and expand on their visions for the city.

“The best way to run the city,”

Faulconer said in a press release, “is to hear directly from the people you serve ... I know how busy people are, so I am taking the conversation to them.”

Faulconer said he’ll call such a meeting every month in each of the city’s nine council districts. District 1 includes La Jolla, University City, Del Mar Mesa and Del Mar Heights, Torrey Hills and Torrey Pines, Carmel Valley and Highlands Ranch.

She intends to present her petition to create an ADA-accessible Children’s Pool ramp to the Coastal Commission at its August meeting in San Diego.

Children’s Pool was created as a safe wading pool for children by La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps in the 1930s. The pool is good for the disabled for many of the same reasons it’s good for children, including its being sheltered from turbulent wave action.

Jacobs Aspen said the disabled community is an underserved minority with the same need as everyone else to access the pool.

“We have 16,000 new limbless American Veterans, the most here in the military town of San Diego, that could heal in the waters of the Children's Pool,” she said. “An ADA ramp fits well there and needs to be included in the current Children's Pool beach facility remodel.

“We need this ADA access now, to serve the many disabled, including children, Wounded Warriors and the elderly. It is the only one we have, and it must stay open all year long with an ADA ramp.”

Bikeshare gaining no traction with planning association members

By DAVE SCHWAB La Jollans continued to balk at plans to put Bikeshare stations in their community by summer’s end.

Community planners expressed reservations about the new shortterm bike-rental program at the June 5 monthly meeting of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), an advisory group making land-use recommendations to the city.

In 2013, the City Council signed a 10-year contract to partner with DecoBike to create a citywide network of 180 Bikeshare stations for short-term rentals to encourage bicycling and alternative modes of travel other than cars.

Fourteen of those stations — eight in the Village, three in La Jolla Shores, two in Bird Rock and one in WindanSea — are proposed in

La Jolla.

DecoBike representative Angela Landsberg told LJCPA trustees that La Jolla’s proposed Bikeshare stations are not locked in and that the company is more than willing to switch them out for other viable alternative sites.

Landsberg said uniform Bikeshare stations typically come in 8and 16-bay setups that will be available for business advertising opportunities.

“They’re in essence billboards with public advertising,” said Cindy Greatrex, immediate past president of La Jolla Town Council.

Greatrex’s concern was echoed

by LJCPA secretary Nancy Manno, who said, “The idea of billboard advertising on kiosks is appallingly terrible. I find it tremendously offensive.”

“We’re going to have to take it (Bikeshare) whether we like it or

not,” said trustee Dan Courtney, who pointed out La Jolla’s often narrow sidewalks include competing car valets “grabbing every parking spot they can get.”

“It (Bikeshare) violates the La Jolla PDO (Planned District Ordinance governing development regulations),” said audience member Don Schmidt, a La Jolla Historical Society member.

Trustee Frances O’Neill Zimmerman said the stations “are aesthetically terrible” and questioned whether the topography of La Jolla, with its many hills, would lend itself to short-term rentals.

Though La Jolla is not included in the first phase of Bikeshare’s rollout, the city has said the entire network is expected to be in place by the end of this summer.

IN OTHER ACTION

• Trustees voted to reaffirm a

previous LJCPA vote against a proposed cell phone tower near Torrey Pines Elementary School.

Parents and neighbors of the proposed tower continued to lobby against it, insisting such facilities raise health concerns and shouldn’t be located near schools or other youth-oriented institutions.

• A brief presentation was given by the city on plans to install unseen photovoltaic solar panels atop the Bay View Reservoir at 9175 Parkview Terrace.

• Trustees were clued in by the city on plans to develop an Urban Forest Management Plan to account for and maintain city treescape.

• LJCPA president Joe LaCava noted two seats on the board are open. A special election for them is to be held from 3 to 7 p.m. at the group’s next meeting, July 3, at La Jolla Rec Center.

Man accused in bank holdup to stand trial in eight robberies An accused bank robber awaiting trial for allegedly holding up a Torrey Highlands bank has been ordered to stand trial in the robbery of eight other banks, including one in La Jolla.

Six witnesses, mostly bank tellers, testified June 4 in the preliminary hearing of Victor Lamar Moore, 32, for robberies that occurred

in 2012 and 2013. He is accused of holding up the Wells Fargo branch bank on La Jolla Village Drive on Aug. 24, 2012 and seven others, court records say.

He faces a June 16 trial date in San Diego Superior Court for the Jan. 4 robbery of the U.S. Bank at 7895 Highland Village Place and the

Jan. 3 attempted robbery at another U.S. Bank in El Cajon. Although Judge Eugenia Eyherabide set a trial date of July 24 for the other holdups, the cases may be consolidated later.

Moore has pleaded not guilty and remains in jail on $250,000 bail.

Sentencing delayed in death of noted architect The sentencing of a noted architect's former employee convicted of second-degree murder in the man's beating death has been delayed to July 8 after his attorneys requested more time to prepare.

The sentencing had been scheduled for June 6.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Joan Weber granted the defense request for Higinio Soriano Salgado, 32, who is facing a term of 15 years to life in prison following the jury’s verdict Feb. 24. Salgado remains in jail on $3 million bail.

Downes, 56, was the architect for Hotel La Jolla’s guest rooms, Tower 23 Hotel in Pacific Beach, Hard Rock Hotel San Diego and the Thin bar downtown. He is also credited with the overhaul of Tom Ham’s Lighthouse on Harbor Island and Bali Hai on Shelter Island.

Downes and Salgado were drinking heavily at a party at Downes' Bankers Hill home in April 2013 when Salgado argued over whether a former employee would return to the architect’s firm.

Downes, once a member of the Old Mission Beach Athletic Club, died of several blunt-force trauma injuries.

News Scripps scientists win $13 million grant in work on HIV vaccine

URGENT APPEAL The banner at La Jolla United Methodist Church has been visible to drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians on La Jolla Boulevard for the last several weeks, and the story behind it has fueled a public appeal. The national United Methodists have had a presence in Africa for 160 years, and they know well the troubles that the malaria parasite brings to the continent (a child dies there every minute from the mosquito-borne disease). Locally, the church seeks donations to fight the illness and has pledged to do its part in the national congregation's goal of $75 million in aid.

A team led by scientists at the Scripps Research Institute has received a grant of more than $13 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease of the National Institutes of Health to study antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus — HIV — which will play an essential role in the creation of any effective HIV vaccine.

Richard Wyatt, professor of immunology and director of viral immunology for the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative's Neutralizing Antibody Center at the institute, will be the principal investigator for the five-year study.

“The long-term goal is to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV,” Wyatt said. “This is a difficult task because of the variability of the virus.”

Property mogul gives $25 million to Salk Institute

CONRAD PREBYS San Diego philanthropist Conrad Prebys has donated $25 million to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies to boost the La Jolla research center’s endowment, according to published reports.

The gift is the second largest in the institute’s current $300 million capital campaign, following a March 2013 contribution of $2 million from the Helmsley Charitable Trust.

Prebys’ contribution brings the tally to $275 million, with a year left in the campaign.

Prebys, who made his fortune in real estate, has made numerous large gifts to area health, education and cultural institutions, most recently donating $20 million for a new scholarship program at San Diego State University.

News Preuss figures prominently among high schools amid 2014 graduations La Jolla's Preuss School UCSD, a charter middle and high school for low-income students who desire to be the first in their families to graduate college, was recently named by U.S. News & World Report magazine as the best high school in San Diego County and the fifth best in the state. That honor will take on a special meaning in less than two weeks, as Preuss joins the rest of the neighborhood's high schools in graduating its class of 2014.

Preuss' commencement will take place Thursday, June 26, at 4 p.m. at Manchester Field on campus.

“We are extremely proud to receive this recognition,” said principal Scott Barton in a statement. “With our longer school day and school year, we have

created a rigorous academic environment that offers the support students need to succeed.”

The lengthier year means the seniors will transition a little behind their counterparts. La Jolla High School graduated a class on Thursday, June 12; The Bishop's School transitioned a senior class (its 105th) on Friday, May 30; and La Jolla Country Day School bade farewell to its seniors the same day.

La Jolla High School is also regarded as one of the country's top secondary schools, as 92 percent of its graduating classes enter colleges or universities; a significant number of those wind up on Ivy League campuses. The Bishop's School, founded in 1909, is the neighborhood’s oldest high school and a

noted college preparatory institution. Country Day sports a student population from a vast area of San Diego County. Preuss is cut from the same mold of persistence toward excellence — of California's top five schools, it is the only one that requires all prospective students to be from a low-income family and have no parent or guardian who graduated from a four-year college.

U.S. News & World Report also named Preuss School UCSD the 42nd best school in the nation based on state-mandated assessments and the methods by which it educates its minority students.

Graduation at UCSD’s six colleges will take place Saturday and Sunday, June 14 and 15.

Weldon Donaldson, 78, TV executive, philanthropist Weldon D. Donaldson, a San Diego philanthropist and former television executive, has died. He passed on May 23 with his wife and family by his side.

He was 78.

Donaldson served in a variety of professional and volunteer positions with local television stations, the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Bowl Game Association and numerous civic organizations, but he always made time for his family and friends.

Donaldson took time to enjoy life, be it work or leisure activities. He was a very fun-loving person who loved his family and loved San Diego. He was quite a beachgoer and organized many beach parties.

He and wife Barbara traveled the world. In particular, their annual trips to St. Martin and Anguilla were their favorites.

Donaldson was born on May 5,

1936 in Orange, N.J. He grew up in El Paso, Texas, where he attended the University of Texas at El Paso. There, he joined the Officer Training Corps and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army. He served from 1964-66 at the Olathe missile site near Kansas City, Kansas. He and his family moved to San Diego, where he forged a 29-year career as a television executive, working as sales manager of KFMB-TV between 1970 and 1994 and then with KUSI-TV. He later served as executive director for the National City Mile of Cars.

“His reputation in San Diego was unparalleled as far as straightforward honesty and integrity, as well as his love of life and his feeling for the people he dealt with,” said Harry Melkerson, who worked with Donaldson and counted him

WELDON DONALDSON as mentor, best friend and brother.

Others shared the sentiment.

“He had this infectious ability to engage people in a way that everybody around him was having a good time or was motivated,” said Bob Sexton.

Aside from his TV work, Donaldson contributed his time and

skill to civic and sports organizations. He volunteered as a “Red Coat” with the San Diego Bowl Association, which has produced the Holiday Bowl and Poinsettia Bowl football games for more than 30 years. He served as president of the Holiday Bowl in 1998.

Donaldson also lent his experience to the San Diego Zoological Society’s board of directors, served as a trustee from 2003 to 2012 and collaborated specifically on the marketing and investment committees.

In addition, Donaldson was a member of the San Diego Ad Club and recipient of the group’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He was also a member of the San Diego Advertising Golf Association. He served on the boards of the Downtown YMCA and San Diego Crimestoppers.

He enjoyed the game of golf

and was a member of the San Diego Country Club.

He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Barbara; sister Marylee Skelly; sons Glen Donaldson and John Donaldson (Kim); daughter Val Lattin (David); three granddaughters, Jessica Donaldson, Shelby Donaldson and Grace Lattin; and several nieces and nephews.

Donaldson was very loving, generous, active and instrumental in all their lives and will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life is scheduled for June 26 at Qualcomm Stadium, Club Level Lounge, from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Guests can enter through security gate A on the Plaza Level.

In lieu of flowers, the family wishes for donations to be made to the San Diego Zoological Society or San Diego Hospice.

Ask The Retirement Concierge Q: My husband was laid off six months ago after 26 years on the job! He is 58 years old and SHARONANN spends all his HAMILTON w a k i n g moments watching TV! He refuses to take advantage of the free career evaluation and the execu-

tive placement services the company offered. He refuses to have a conversation about what he will do next, how he will find work. He refuses to go to counseling. He just sits and rots! I cannot take it anymore. Do you have any suggestions?

A: Many boomers across the nation are facing similar problems.

More than 900,000 are competing with all age groups. Joe Wasylyk, author of the book Encore!

Encore!, founded the Seniorpreneur Project to find ways to help boomers become more educated and productive, primarily by starting their own businesses. He believes that programs like Social

Security, Supplemental Security Income and medical services may be on the chopping block given the economic stresses of national debt.

Smart boomers will figure out how to create an income stream to be more secure in their golden years.

The re-employment rate for 55-64-year-olds is 47 percent and only 24 percent for those over 65, and securing a new position takes an average of 46 weeks. Despite the law, there is age discrimination, and experience does not necessarily win out over less-qualified but cheaper and younger employees.

Here are two other ways to move forward: • Write a letter to him. Putting your thoughts and feelings into writing and into the hand of your loved one can have a huge impact.

• Create a way for him to step out of his life, along with you, for some R&R at a place you both enjoy. Even a few days away in the mountains or at a beach can be beneficial and provide space for in-depth conversation.

confidence and fearful of letting the family down. Sleeping and watching TV may be the only things that shut out such thoughts. If he is seriously depressed, I suggest that you find a professional and call family and friends together for an intervention.

You and your spouse may want to look at this time as an adventure. That is a good way to evaluate your resources and goals and consider reinventing your lives.

El Niño, characterized by warmer seasurface water in the equatorial Eastern Pacific, is often associated with greater rainfall on much of the U.S. West Coast and frequently enhances the encroachment of storm surges by raising regional sea level for several months at a time. The opposite

phenomenon is known as La Niña.

An autonomous underwater glider known as Spray monitors water temperature and other parameters off Dana Point, Calif.

Scripps physical oceanographer Dan Rudnick said the Spray data so far strongly agree with a measure of National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-based El Niño findings based on temperature data collected at the equator. Currently, NOAA forecasts a probability of El Niño conditions at 70 percent during the Northern Hemisphere summer and reaching 80 percent during the fall and winter.

The Spray data are one of several means by which scientists are following the developing El Niño.

Deployment of Spray gliders off the Galapagos Islands began in October 2013 in a joint project with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Oceanographic Institution of the Ecuadorian Navy. The National Science Foundation (NSF) and NOAA fund this project, called Repeat Observations by Gliders in the Equatorial Region.

The next Spray deployment in

the Galapagos is scheduled for July.

Scripps oceanographers have beefed up their data coverage in the equatorial Pacific Ocean as part of a larger endeavor to demonstrate how long-term observations in the tropical Pacific Ocean can be improved.

Dean Roemmich, a Scripps oceanographer, said that a series of floating devices have provided an unprecedented view of the Pacific-wide evolution of El Niño conditions. A burst of westerly

wind in the western Pacific in January resulted in a strong subsurface pulse of energy that crossed the equatorial Pacific from February to April.

“This warm temperature anomaly became shallower in the eastern Pacific where it was felt as a warming of sea surface temperature,” Roemmich said. “The next few months will tell whether this warm pulse is followed by others and whether it will develop into an El Niño.”

Latest styles, low prices are among Haute Bridal’s rules of engagement Fashion Files

Diana Cavagnaro

The Haute Bridal Boutique has opened at 7514 La Jolla Blvd., directly across the street from Margaret's Cleaners. This elegant boutique offers past-season samples at terrific prices. Some of the top designers carried here are Oscar de la Renta, Badgley Mischka, Anne Barge, Monique Lhuillier, Kenneth Pool and Carolina Herrera. Bridal styles don’t change as fast as regular fashion, so this store is the perfect solution for the girl who wants a designer name, great construction, brand name quality and must-have deals.

Amia French, who owns this beautiful shop and recently moved

here from L.A., began her business as an online store. There is a wonderful boutique feeling here, with fabulous wood floors and designer mirrors, and I especially love French’s unique hand tags and business cards, made from silver foil wrap.

The Haute Bridal Boutique also carries trendy lingerie and intimates for the bride to be. Customers can also find exquisite jewelry and headpieces by American designers.

French said she is planning a grand opening on Thursday, June 26, from 6 to 9 p.m. This will be a networking event for those specializing in weddings, such as planners, stylists, hair and make-up specialists and, of course, the brides to be.

La Jolla artist makes rainy Paris weekend a little brighter

By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN One of the negatives about Paris (if there are any) is the weather.

The city's northerly latitude is often an accurate predictor of clouds and rain, sometimes when you least expect or want it.

But Paris didn't get its colossal reputation for beauty by everybody staying home. Case in point: Thousands braved the wet weather there May 22 to 26 to attend the annual Ateliers d'Artistes de Belleville, featuring the works of 250 artists from 130 studios, the largest exhibit of its kind in France – and one La Jolla painter was thrilled to note that a stranger held a key to her trip's success.

Judy Judy Judy, as she prefers to be known (with all due respect to Cary Grant), was invited by a friend to show her works. The

group was founded in 1989 as a center for cultural exchange, seeking to demonstrate “how art can be made accessible to everyone and contribute to the cultural vitality” of Paris.

An invitation to exhibit there is a pretty big deal, but Judy Judy Judy, a member of the La Jolla Art Association, is otherwise an old hand at travel to the City of Light.

She's been there about 20 times and has taken in the works of everybody from modernist photographer Robert Mappelthorpe to the legendary Vincent van Gogh to Leonardo da Vinci. The Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, any or all of Paris' 140 museums: She's likely been there, savoring the art and history that defines Paris and, by extension, much of the world.

“You know how all roads lead to Rome?” she asked. “All flights

lead to Paris for me.”

Taste and intelligence are her brands, she says as she seeks to evoke a nod to her subjects' femininity. Such is the case with “Midnight Rendezvous,” an oil on linen that features a lone woman with a phone in her hand – by the look in her eye, and for better or worse, the caller could be anyone from her past or her future.

It was through this work that Judy would experience a watershed in her career – for here, in a renowned metropolis of 11 million, surrounded by centuries of artistic expression in every venue from world-famous museums to corner cafés, a Belleville patron was moved to seek her out on the strength of some faceless introductory material.

“I usually go to other places when I travel,” she explained, “like

“Casey's got soft lips,” Jennifer Lopez said of rocker Casey Abrams when he so boldly and impudently stole a smooch during his “American Idol” turn in 2011. It happened right after Abrams killed the old Maroon 5 song “Harder to Breathe” – and the memory of the incident leads us to announce Abrams' headline appearance at the 28th La Jolla Festival of the Arts, to be held the weekend of June 21 at UCSD's Warren Field.

Artisans, families and tourists will convene to view the work of nearly 200 vetted artist who ply their trades in photography, sculpture, glass and, of course, painting.

Mediterranean and vegetarian food are featured among a menu dotted with fish tacos, hot dogs, cheeses and gourmet cupcakes. Craft beers are also on the agenda, as is wine.

The La Jolla Festival of the Arts is a charity event, with proceeds to benefit the nonprofit Torrey Pines Kiwanis Foundation. The foundation has collected nearly $2 million since the festival's inaugural

But the art always draws me back to Paris, and that's why it was so wonderful to be [sought] out there.

He was a little man, very polite and very interested. There was another man who was looking at something of mine, but we didn't meet.”

To make matters better, Judy said, she sold an unrelated painting.

“It's a destination,” Judy said of Paris and the untold activity surrounding the city's visual arts community. “Having your work recognized in Paris is an enormous thrill.” The voice is resolute and matter-of-fact, as if the prospect of settlement there is a foregone conclusion. For now, Judy Judy Judy is content to ply her trade amid the memories of the city that inspires her.

FRIDAY · JUNE 13 , 2014 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

'The play that will not be named' is a mother of an entry They call it “the play that will not be named” because it's got a big dirty word in the title. In an attempt to assuage their guilty consciences, they put a couple asterisks where the two telltale letters would be. Let's just refer to it by one of its alternate titles – “The Mother with the Hat” – and stop worrying about “them,” whoever “they” are. The title, after all, doesn't weigh that heavily into the final analysis.

The final analysis is that Old Town's Cygnet Theatre, wellknown among younger La Jolla audiences, has a perfectly good piece here, its 4 million f-bombs and all. Playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis fuels the show's ensemble culture amid his tight writing and ear for farce, and director Rob Lutfy heartily endorses his cast's enthusiasm and physicality. The so-called foul language has its place to a point, fueling this situational story about drugs, alcohol,

fidelity and thick hides in New York's Hell's Kitchen. It has its weak spots, but no play doesn't – and this one's major demerit could have been much worse.

Ex-drug dealer Jackie (Steven Lone) is loony with good intentions after his release from prison, but he has reason to suspect his girlfriend Veronica (an excellent Sandra Ruiz) hasn't been playing fair; he happens on a man's hat in plain sight in her apartment, and it's not his. His type-A feelings for Veronica result in the purchase of a gun — bad idea, says his drug counselor Ralph (Laurence Brown), whom it turns out had dabbled in Victoria's bed (he indeed owns the hat) as Jackie served his time. A tale of sexual suspicion, won and lost friendship and the meaning of trust is to follow.

Guirgis slathers his dialogue with “those” words, which serve less a purpose as the play progresses. Offensive? Nope, at least not to

me. Gratuitous? No, because they're an absolutely appropriate reflection on the characters, and their monosyllables fuel the busy tone Guirgis is trying to set. The problem is that they eventually grow wearisome, taking some of the dynamic from the action. Guirgis nicely threads his volatile situations with his characters' intro-

spective sides – all those bombs don't necessarily contribute to the latter climate.

Meanwhile, Guirgis plies the plot with character-building understories (not only does Veronica still use, but so does her mom; Jackie and Veronica have known each other since high school; Jackie's broken parole by firing the gun), and he adds a nice minor plot twist in resolving the sex-fueled issues between Jackie and Ralph. Jackie's going back to prison for a short stay, but Guirgis cleverly advances the idea that, for better or worse, ‘t the end for him and Veronica. This ensemble lays it out quite well, with Whitney Brianna Thomas as Ralph's sardonic wife Victoria and Esteban Andres Cruz as Jackie's cousin Julio (Cruz is pretty good, but his character's introduction and nuances are insufficiently explained).

I know something about Hell's Kitchen; a guy once threw a bottle

By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN at me there and missed my eyes by less than an inch. That fella obviously doesn't represent mainstream New York life, but Guirgis clearly knows what does. His Upper West Side rearing and his New York theater work have imprinted themselves on his facile writer's brain; Lutfy and his cast do the rest in this energetic piece that's as much tragedy as comedy.

Guirgis and Lutfy know how to separate the one from the other, and the taut tech direction and casting to type take it from there.

The play that will not be named runs at the Old Town Theatre, 4040 Twiggs St., through June 22.

OCEAN BEACH: Jose Lares, formerly at Avanti's in La Jolla, cooks your dinner at Espresso Cucina.

COURTESY PHOTO

Ex-La Jolla chef cooks your dinner at Espresso Cucina Italian cuisine always seemed to work for the old Espresso Pizza.

The popular Ocean Beach eatery served it with speed and pride as far back as the early 1970s. It built its reputation for service well before then, when it was first open as a malt shop in the 1940s.

Time marches on, and the malt shop and pizza place are gone. In their steads stands Espresso Cucina, recently reopened after a fourmonth facelift that features a new chef late of La Jolla, artwork by local artists and a respect for what the co-owner sees as a new OB vibe.

Chris Stavros and his wife Adri-

ana Alcaraz, owners of OB's Olive Tree Marketplace, bought the restaurant last year upon the former owner's retirement. Pizza, of course, is a staple (for $12, the customers get to make their own 14-inchers), and more than 80 entries, including beer and wine, dot a menu that features favorites such as smoked salmon and veal Parmigiana.

Jose Lares, formerly at Avanti's in La Jolla, cooks your dinner.

The Stavros family work ethic and Ocean Beach have essentially grown up together – and Stavros notes that the eatery's upgrade reflects the change in the neigh-

borhood's climate.

“You're seeing a huge influx of wonderful restaurants coming in in OB,” he said. You're finding people refining their taste buds, demanding higher-end foods and better product. It's the same in the craft beer industry, too. We've noticed the trends among young owners, and we went for it to give the city want it wants.”

Espresso Cucina is located at 1776 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. And is open from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. every day except Tuesdays.

Further information is available at (619) 224-2227 or espressocucina.com.

Art of presentation is king at University City’s Ahi Sushi If you love Sushi, then you’re in for a treat at the new Ahi Sushi & Grill. With more than 260 items on their menu, they are sure to have all your favorites.

As casual venues go, Ahi caters to a different level of taste, chiefly because of its attention to presentation. You get a dragon roll in the shape of a dragon, a caterpillar roll that looks like a caterpillar and an orange cut to look like a bear, a rabbit or any animal that comes to the artist’s mind. Meanwhile, that giant menu includes Chinese entries as well, and you can eat them in front of a big-screen TV. Ahi Sushi & Grill is located at 3949 Governor Drive in University City in the shopping center.

Speaking up for children – defending the defenseless Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas Imagine being born to parents with little or no sense of responsibility for their own children; where such horrors as alcoholism, addictive drug use and domestic violence are part of everyday life. Fortunately, many children in such situations are rescued from these threats — but without loving parents who care for them, who will speak for their needs and who will work to

give them a chance for a life with a promising future?

Fortunately, there are those who take it upon themselves to help in significant ways. Voices for Children (VFC), founded in 1980, transforms the lives of abused, neglected and abandoned children in San Diego County by providing them with volunteer advocates to ensure the children’s needs are met.

VFC is the only agency designated by the Superior Court to recruit, train and assign Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) to speak for the needs and rights of San Diego County's foster youth. CASA volunteers transform lives daily by serving as the “voice” of these children in the courtroom, the classroom and the community. Providing desperately needed guidance and support, a CASA is often the

one solid, supportive person in a child’s life.

But even for an organization with such a noble purpose, expenses must somehow be met. Disadvantaged kids need a friend, and so do well-meaning nonprofit organizations. Makua (the word is Hawaiian for parent) is a women's fundraising organization founded in Point Loma 31 years ago. In 2004, Makua “adopted” VFC as the recipient of its fundraising efforts, becoming that organization’s auxiliary.

Makua hosts an annual themed gala to benefit VFC. Clarissa Flamenco, Sheri Liebert and Sherri Worthen co-chaired this year’s, dubbing it “Vintage Hollywood.”

Held at La Jolla’s posh Marine Room restaurant, it attracted 142 guests, many costumed as stars of

the silver screen. They strode the red carpet past a vintage Rolls Royce and through a phalanx of “paparazzi.” A reception offered specialty cocktails, canapés, a silent auction and entertainment by vintage Hollywood stars “Frank Sinatra” (Peter Pavone) and “Marilyn Monroe” (Emily Marie).

Famed chef Bernard Guillas created a gourmet dinner that started with King Oyster Mushroom Bisque. A Braised Short Rib and Prawn entrée was next, followed by a Lemon Hibiscus Almond Tart dessert.

The nine-item live auction climaxed with a dinner for eight by chef Bernard that sold for $3,000 (bolstered by the good chef doffing his apron during the bidding) and a 15-night Russian cruise on the luxury ship “The World” that brought

$10,000.

VFC president/CEO Sharon Lawrence introduced Rosie Burton.

A foster child since age 3, Rosie finally received a CASA when she was 12 years old. Now in college, she also works to raise awareness of the CASA program. After she told her story, a “Fund-a-CASA” paddleraise brought in another $35,000.

Overall, the event netted $74,000 for VFC. Afterward, guests enjoyed dancing to the classic Rat Pack stylings of the Richard James Quartet. “Vintage Hollywood” was the latest in Makua’s continuing 61-year tradition of “putting the FUN into FUNdraiser.”

The organization is currently welcoming new members — interested parties are invited to visit www.makua.org.

The historic Cosmopolitan Restaurant in Old Town is unveiling a new brunch menu on Sunday, May 18, which combines traditional American favorites with Mexican breakfast staples that will be sure to delight hungry brunch-goers of all ages.

“One of the oldest hotels in California, The Cosmo isn’t just a beautifully restored building; we blend history with specially prepared dishes to provide an excellent dining experience that is unlike any in Old Town,” said Chuck Ross, owner and operator of the Cosmo.

Guests dining on May 18 will receive a special $2-off per person discount if they mention the secret word “Victorian.”

Served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays, the extensive menu features

moderately priced dishes, such as the Polenta Cake Florentine for $9.95 and the Goat Cheese Veggie Omelet for $8.95. Some of the must-try midday offerings include the BLT&A sandwich, the Savory Waffle Sandwich and the Monte Cosmo Sandwich, which features ham, turkey and Swiss cheese on brioche bread dipped in egg batter, pan fried and dusted with powdered sugar.

“The brunch menu was created to incorporate the newest culinary trends by using fresh fruits, vegetables and spices from the Cosmo’s garden, much like former residents Albert Seeley and Juan Bandini would have done in the 1870s,” continued Ross.

Visitors can indulge in mimosa offerings, such as Ysidora’s Mimosa with champagne, Triple Sec and cran-

berry juice, topped with a lemon twist and the Blushing Mimosa, made with champagne, orange juice, pineapple juice and grenadine. Other drink options include red sangria, margaritas and Bloody Marys.

The Cosmo’s new menu also serves up distinctive signature dishes, including the popular Fried Chicken and Churros, Piggy Grilled Cheese, and Biscuits & Gravy. À la carte breakfast staples such as Ol’ Fashioned French Toast, Seeley’s Buttermilk Slapjacks and Eggs Your Way, are also notable highlights on the menu.

Guests can enjoy specialty dishes like The No-Brainer -- braised short ribs eggs benedict topped with crispy onions and house-made horseradish hollandaise sauce. The menu also features Mexican dishes such as mole chi-

laquiles and huevos rancheros.

Children 12 and under can enjoy chocolate chip pancakes, cinnamon French toast, breakfast burrito, scrambled eggs and griddle potatoes, chicken fingers, and grilled cheese, each for $4.95 The Cosmopolitan Restaurant & Hotel is a meticulously restored 1870s-era restaurant and 10-room bed and breakfast hotel overlooking Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. Guests can choose to enjoy brunch al fresco in the lush orchard setting of the courtyard or indoors in the historic sala – the scene of many of early San Diego’s most elegant and extravagant parties.

A history on the founding of Father’s Day They go by many names: pops, papa, daddy, dad.

No matter what you call them, they're fathers, and they deserve some recognition.

Every year, on the third Sunday in June, we honor and celebrate the special men in our lives by bestowing upon them cards and gifts as a token of gratitude for all they've done; however, it wasn't until 1972 that President Richard Nixon officially made Father's Day a federal holiday.

The holiday's origins date

back to 1909 in Spokane, Washington, where a woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd tried to establish a Mother's Day equivalent for her father.

Raised by a widower and one of six children, Dodd campaigned across the state at local churches, YMCAs, and other organizations for a day to be dedicated to male parents.

By that time, Mother’s Day, celebrated on the second Sunday in May, had already become a successful commercial holiday. Finally, on June 19, 1910,

Washington celebrated the first statewide Father's Day, and the other states quickly followed suit.

This Father's Day, The Patio on Lamont Street is celebrating by offering a special entree and beer pairing all weekend long.

For each male diner on Sunday, June 15, $1 will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

For more information or to make a reservation, call (858) 412-4648 or visit www.thepatiosd.com.

LUNCH BREAK Pizza (and lunchtime) are all-around favorites at San Diego Community Newspaper Group, publisher of The Peninsula Beacon, Beach & Bay Press and La Jolla Village News. Amici's East Coast Pizzeria, which recently opened venues in La Jolla and Hillcrest, heard the call and responded accordingly.

Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. That’s really scary, I said to Heather, my 46-year-old trainer. I don’t want to do this. Heather insisted. It was not about a new set of exercises that she was promoting; it was for me to get online on a dating site. As I was resisting, stating huge embarrassment, she got onto my computer and signed me up. This was two years after my husband died.

A couple days later, she asked how it was going. What was she talking about? Oh, was I supposed to look? We did together. One 90year-old man had found my profile interesting — well, that’s a relief.

He wanted a photo, which I was reluctant to send. His photo looked a lot younger than his supposed age. I did not reply. A young man in his 60s wrote he wanted to meet me. I wrote back that he’s younger than my children, and he wrote: “Goodbye, mother.” And so ended my online adventure.

The problem is that I don’t know any older single men in my social circle; neither do my single women

Healthy Lifestyles

Adventures in online dating friends. This is obviously the reason for this new way of meeting people. We are a dispersed generation — having often relocated — with distant friends and relatives.

The protocol, as I understand it, is that first you e-mail each other for several weeks, then you talk on the phone for several more weeks, then you meet in a very public coffee shop and decide whether there is a future to this relationship. I’m in my 80s; I don’t have time for all this — it will be one e-mail, one phone call, and then on to the coffee shop.

As I was scanning the various supposed matches, I noticed that 80-year-old men’s cutoff age for women was 75 and their preference was someone in their 60s and thin, with a good sense of humor. I don’t qualify. No one seemed interested in a “woman of 80-plus years, retired professor, author, warm, friendly and fun, looking for conversation and a long-term relationship.”

Perhaps I just should sit quietly by the fireplace in my rocking chair with my slippers on, doing my needlepoint, and forget about adventures. Although that doesn’t sound appealing either.

There are many sites: PlentyofF-

ish.com is free; others, such as E-Harmony, Match.com and Jdate, require a fee. There are also many senior dating sites. The statistics are that a large number of marriages today began at an Internet site.

This is just a new technology to replace the marriage broker of past generations. My Russian greatgrandfather had never met his bride until their wedding day. They were both 13. When she lifted her veil, so the story goes, he exclaimed, “She’s so ugly!”

This is probably why, to avoid such disasters, photos are posted with the descriptive profiles. From what I have been told, some people use photos of their younger selves and lie about marital status and jobs. According to the New York Times, “men exaggerate their height by two inches and people exaggerate their income by about 20 percent.” But as I perused some of the photos, there are many grayhaired men who seem honest, at least at first glance. The Shadchans (Yiddish for “marriage brokers”) of yesterday had correct information and could be relied upon (shades of”Fiddler on the Roof”).

Yes, I still wish for companionship, as do so many widowed people, and I would like to find some-

Are you one of the people that celebrate and enjoy every birthday and each year that goes by or do you think life is on the downturn at 29? If you’re one of the latter, here is a list of positive things associated with aging.

You’re wiser — You have lived through a lot of things over the years and you’ve learned from it. Being a “wise old man or woman” can be satisfying and rewarding.

You’re more patient — By this time in your life, you’ve learned to be more tolerant and “not sweat the small stuff.” It makes for less stress and anger in your life.

You have confidence — This is the time in your life where you can reflect on what you have accomplished and know you still have a lot to offer.

You know your identify — At this time in your life, you know what you like and what you don’t. You don’t take rejection personally.

You may be a grandparent — Nothing helps keep you younger than grandchildren. They help you stay excited, be playful and curious. As my husband said “We should have skipped children and gone straight to grandchildren.”

You have a network of friends and family — By having long time friendships as well as new friends and your extended family, you stay involved and connected.

You Are Motivated to Make The Most of Your Time - You are aware of how quickly time goes by so you use it more wisely. Continuing a number of interests, such as learning, volunteering or work can help your good health.

We are all aging. Learn how to make the best of it by calling our RN geriatric care managers at Innovative Healthcare

Women with hair loss can have thick and healthy hair

Volume is the most requested service of all clients. Thick, healthy hair is never out of style!

Even with all the excellent professional volumizing products available,nothing compares with the real thing: thick , healthy human hair!

FRIDAY · JUNE 13, 2014 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

The unique patented process used at Judy's salon attaches a protein bond of real human hair to a small section of your own hair.The bonds are so discreet you can style your hair anyway you choose.This unique application process makes it the only system that does not further damage your hair.

How Do You Match Extensions ?

If you are blending colors choose extensions that are the same level of color as the clients own hair . If you are changing the level of the client’s hair choose a shade that works well with the skin tone. A coloring process can be done to the natural hair 48 hours prior to application and extensions can be matched to that.

How Do You Customize Extensions for a Client With Thinning Hair ?

Use an extension with a smaller attachment bond and a single strand application process so the hair is not damaged and can hold the weight of the extension.This will give natural looking volume and length to thinning hair.

What type of hair extensions do you use?

Judy uses Great Lengths all-natural hair extensions and prefers these extensions because they are created from 100% human hair and use a unique, application process that attaches a bond of protein the same molecular structure as your hair. This application process does not harm your own hair . While others use techniques such as welding, waxing, gluing or knotting,which strain your hair to a high degree Judy uses a much more gentle principle called modulating.An extremely high- tech method of bonding the hair strand

to your own hair. Extensions can be used for volumising, lengthening, colouring or simply adding texture; Judy will offer a free consultation guiding you through your new style. Whether creating a new look, following fashion or with a special occasion on the horizon. Judy’s hair extensions have over 55 colours to choose from and blend with your own hair for perfect colour matches.Most importantly your own hair will not be damaged and the extensions can be easily removed by an expert.

Can hair extensions damage my hair?

No, they will not. Actually, even very fine and damaged hair can become healthier if you’re wearing hair extensions because they will protect your hair from things that could damage it like curling irons, blow dryers, styling heat and environmental damage. Because of the unique application bonding system, the extensions can be easily removed. This is different than many hair extension methods that bond too tightly to your hair. Judy is fully trained on how to educate her clients to professionally take care of their hair extensions at home.

Plants, flowers and imagination fuel the living wreath

By LINDA MARRONE

A little elbow grease yields a big payoff amid a living wreath's beauty.

PHOTO BY LINDA MARRONE

A living wreath can be planted with almost any type of plant, succulent, herb and flower to suit the season or holiday, and the combinations of plants and decorations you can use are as endless.

From time to time, I add branches, artificial flowers, seashells and holiday decorations to my wreaths. By the end of June, I plan to add red, white and blue flowers along with small flags as a salute to the Fourth of July.

I have one wreath on my garden gate, one outside my kitchen door, filled with sun-loving herbs, and another by my front door, with plants that prefer shade, such as variegated ivy, angel vine and ferns. I've had a living wreath in one form or another on my garden gate since 1999, and last month, someone decided to steal it in broad daylight. I've replaced the wreath, and my husband ingeniously secured to the gate so that it will not walk away again!

Following are ways to make your own living wreath. You can take a tour of my garden on

www.LindaMarrone.com and see some examples of my ever-changing wreaths.

Materials • 20-inch, 2-piece coated metal, snap together wreath frame (forms are available at Green Gardens Nursery in Pacific Beach or online) • 12 dry quarts of sphagnum moss Approximately 3 4-inch pots of plants or flowers • 2-3 six-packs of plants or flowers • Quality organic potting soil • Peat moss • Wire or hanging device Step 1 Add wire or a hanging device to the center top portion of the bottom wreath frame. Soak the moss in water for a few minutes and squeeze out the excess water. Remove the top portion of the wreath frame and cover the entire bottom portion of the bottom with a thick layer of the moss.

Step 2 Mix several cups of potting soil and

It’s slow going, but this is a testament to tortoises in love Advertising through social networking couldn’t have been more convenient for Judy Dryden of North Pacific Beach. Now, thanks to Nextdoor.com, Charlie and Ms. Malcolm have a “time out” pen.

Dryden, a longtime Pacific Beach resident, was in a pickle as to how to separate her two amorous tortoises.

“He (Charlie) wouldn’t leave her alone, and she’s tired,” complained Dryden of her slow-motion pets who are “still inclined” despite being a century or more old.

Dryden’s Nextdoor ad worked unbelievably well, she noted recently, gesturing toward a wire-mesh pen in her backyard — a respondent to her Nextdoor ad built the enclosure to separate the two.

Dryden inherited Charlie from her father and later found him a buddy, Malcolm, a he (Dryden thought) who turned out to be a she.

It’s no small wonder they hit it off.

“They had both been alone for 40 years,” Dryden pointed out. Apparently, both tortoises were deprived for so long that they’ve become depraved, and now it’s a trial to keep them apart.

When she brought Ms. Malcolm climbed up and over it,” she said. over to Charlie, Dryden remarked Though they may not be exactly star-crossed, the trysting tortoises remain best of friends, They sleep together feet apart every night in a doghouse, and they hibernated next to one another every year between mid-October and mid-March.

During a recent visit with Charlie and Ms. Malcolm, Dryden served up a treat — strawberries and lots of kale, which her two charges proceeded to eat like it was their last meal.

Charlie (naturally) stole some of Ms. Malcolm’s share, taking it right out of her mouth.

“He’s the dominant one,” said Dryden of Charlie, noting her pets also love watermelon, cantaloupe and bananas (which aren’t good for SHELLING OUT SOME LOVE Judy them). They also enjoy red hibiscusDryden holds Ms. Malcolm with a mothes, a generous supply of which Dryer’s love, noting it’s impossible to keep den grows on her patio. her male tortoise, Charlie, away from Dryden has gutters turned the Ms. Malcolm.

Meanwhile, Dryden is as inseparaHow is the time-out pen working? ble from her pets as they are from one Well, it’s not as dependable as Dryden another. would like.

Ms. Malcolm once disappeared for “I put the fence up, and Charlie two weeks and was found by a neighdecided ‘I need to be out of here’ and bor, who asked Dryden to prove she

was the owner by describing her.

“Someone had chained her previously, so there was a hole in (the end of) her shell,” Dryden said, pointing to another spot where “someone had shot her with a BB gun. That’s how I described her,” Dryden said.

Dryden feeds her tortoises once a day, soaking her patio with water from a hose (“they won’t drink from a bowl — they don’t know how”).

At her advanced age, Ms. Malcolm is no longer sexually viable, but she still develops eggs each year, six on each side.

“But she can’t deliver them,” said Dryden, who has to take the tortoise to the vet every year to have her eggs extracted.

Tortoises generally have the animal kingdom’s longest life spans, with some known to have lived longer than 150 years. Female tortoises dig nesting burrows in which they lay from one to 30 eggs, which they cover with sand, soil and organic material and take from 60 to 120 days to incubate. Fully formed hatchlings dig to the surface of the nest and begin a life of survival on their own.

In most tortoise species, the female tends to be larger than the male.

SLOW BUT GOING STEADY Charlie the tortoise shares a treat with Ms. Malcolm.

Meanwhile, most land-based tortoises are herbivores, feeding on grasses, weeds, leafy greens, flowers and some fruits, although there are some omnivorous species.

Dryden said her pet tortoises are “very low maintenance.

“They sleep all night. They get up in the morning and sun themselves then go to bed for a nap until about 2 p.m., when I feed them,” said Dryden as she carried Ms. Malcolm, who weighs about 15 pounds (mostly shell).

Declaring she can’t conceive of being without her tortoises, Dryden said, “They’re sweet.”

Swimming is one of our strongest recommendations for most K9’s. It is an ideal form of exercise for a many reasons. Our rehab services offer assisted swimming in a warm water environment.

The benefits are: • Non-weight-bearing (reducing stress on joints) • Facilitates full use of the front and hind legs vs. partial use as seen with underwater treadmills • Dogs are often able to actively swim although unable to move their legs on land (due to stroke/ spinal injury) • Allows manual techniques by therapist/ manual resistance to an affected limb • Swimming in a controlled environment is the safest way for clients to exercise. • Speeds recovery following injury/ surgery • Improves function & quality of life • Works reciprocal muscle groups (helps correct muscle imbalances) • Reduces pain & inflammation • Reduces canine obesity thus decreasing the risk of other health-related problems • Increases strength, range of motion & cardiovascular conditioning • Prevents overheating through proper water temperature • Increases tolerance for extended cardiovascular training • Decreases recovery time • Reduces post-exercise soreness • Provides good cross training for the competitive, athletic dog (619) 227-7802

The food at Mary's English Kitchen is just like mother used to make In the 1960s came the British Invasion, with the Beatles and rock 'n' roll conquering the U.S. mainland.

Fifty years later, a new British import — Mary’s English Kitchen — arrived in April, taking the Jewel by storm, overwhelming locals with Anglo cuisine and culture.

“It’s a slice of Great Britain,” noted proprietor and native Brit Alison Brown of her homegrown menu, borrowed in large measure from her late mother, Mary Brown.

A La Jolla resident for a decade who returned to England but couldn’t stay away, Brown said, “My dream really was to come back and bring my mom’s recipe book and open up a café where people could come and have traditional, homecooked food. We wanted to give tourists a good time, a nice experience, bring something from home over here.”

Brown has succeeded in making Mary’s, at 7918 Ivanhoe Ave., “as

English as possible,” in part by employing relations so that “somebody from the family would be here to serve the customers.”

Mary’s features classic British entrees, everything from bangers and mash to toad in the hole. Breakfast headlines the menu, starting off with crumpets and finishing with a full English breakfast.

Brown said her eatery pays homage to her mom, whom she said was always “baking and making jams and chutney.”

“I have so many fond memories of friends coming 'round and loving her food,” Brown said, adding, “I thought it would be a fantastic tribute to her and everything she put into it to open a café in her name."

Brown said her English-style chicken pies can’t be topped, nor can her fresh soups made daily or her quiche Lorraine.

There’s a new tea party in La Jolla, but it has nothing to do with partisan politics. Afternoon tea is

served promptly at 2 p.m. at Mary’s, with a white tablecloth and fancy china along with a pot of tea, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and assorted homemade cakes and pastries.

In Britain, tea’s more than a meal: It’s an experience.

“In England, everybody drinks tea all the time,” said Brown, noting Brits stop at 4 p.m. for high tea. She said it “helps them get through until

the evening meal.”

Brown said Mary’s is also open for hosting parties and special occasions.

“We do dining inside and outdoor parties — baby showers, weddings, tea parties, birthday parties for little girls, et cetera,” she said.

Brown that added Mary’s is also up for doing company lunches.

Behind the scenes: get ready for the summertime gas spike With summer almost here, fun — and higher gas prices — are both likely right around the corner.

There are a variety of reasons why gas prices in Southern California fluctuate throughout the year, especially during summer, when consumers take to the roads in droves for seasonal vacations, according to experts and observers who track such statistics.

One reason for higher summertime gas prices, of which many consumers are not aware, is that gas, too, is seasonal in California, said experts.

“Our (state’s) air-quality requirements mandate a special blend of gasoline not used by many, if any, other states in the summer, so basically the California supply is pretty much limited to what California’s 17 oil refineries produce,” said Marie Montgomery, spokesperson for the Automobile Club of South-

ern California.

Though every year is different, Montgomery said there are seasonal trends in fuel consumption and gas prices that tend to repeat over time.

“How it usually goes is that we get a big spring price hike almost every year,” Mongtomery said.

“That price spike usually peaks in May before Memorial Day.” The reason why spring is sprung where gas price are concerned, Montgomery said, is that springtime is when refineries switch over from one blend of gasoline to another.

“We have two blends of gasoline, a summer blend and a winter blend,” she said. “The winter blend is for cooler temperatures and summer is for warmer. There’s a certain date, that varies by region, when gas stations are required to start selling the summer blend of gasoline.”

The change-over from winter to

summer gasoline blends typically isn’t an easy transition, she said.

“Refineries have to taper off production of the winter blend and start producing the summer blend every year, and it’s difficult to predict how much they’re going to need of everything,” Montgomery said.

“The summer blend is more expensive to produce — by about 12 cents a gallon or so.”

Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com, a Minnesota-based company that operates websites and mobile apps reporting fuel prices to the public, noted California’s higher gas prices are a trade-off for cleaner air.

“It’s important to remember why it began,” he said. “The summer gasoline requirement was a critical part of the Clean Air Act. It was approved with overwhelming support by Congress and signed into

law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990. That’s why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the volatility of conventional gasoline sold at retail stations during the summer smog season (June 1- Sept. 15) to reduce evaporative emissions that contribute to smog.”

Reformulated Gasoline (RFG), said DeHaan, was mandated for those metro areas with the worst smog beginning in 1995.

“It’s blended to burn cleaner than conventional gasoline, reducing emissions of smog-forming and toxic pollutants,” he said.

But DeHaan noted there’s also a trade-off with the change-over from winter to summer gas blends in terms of price going up in exchange for better performance and gas mileage.

“Cars like warm weather a lot better than the punishing cold,” he

Sluggers Make Hits During Season Several area scholastic baseball teams had some big hits during the 2014 campaign.

In recent CIF Division II play, fourth-seeded La Jolla High lost to Eastlake by a 10-5 score.

Despite the loss, the Vikings put together a solid season under head coach Gary Frank at 21-10, including winning their fifth Western League crown.

La Jolla opened up CIF play with a 5-3 win over Eastlake and then dropped a 7-2 decision to El Camino

said. “Winter gas contains more butane, and the fuel diluted with ethanol and/or butane typically lowers fuel economy by 1 to 3 percent due to lower energy content.

Gasoline sold in warmer months has a higher energy content, which results in better gas mileage.

“Heat reduces your oil’s viscosity and that reduces drag on the engine and increases your gas mileage,” he said. “Your car’s engine operates more efficiently when the oil flows like water, not sludge.”

GasBuddy.com is the premiere source for real-time local gas prices.

Founded in 2000, GasBuddy.com developed as an initiative to provide consumers access to local current gas prices. Through the GasBuddy.com website and the free GasBuddy mobile app, users can find and share gas prices with fellow drivers, saving at the pump.

Bishop’s School sports camps set to swing into action With the school year winding down for most students and parents, thoughts turn now to summer, including camps. Among the different options available in the La Jolla area are the annual sports camps at The Bishop’s School.

before being eliminated in its second encounter with Eastlake. Eastlake broke a 5-5 tie in the second meeting with two runs in the fifth inning and three in the seventh.

At The Bishop’s School, the Knights suffered a 5-1 loss to Southwest in the CIF Division IV playoffs late last month. Bishop’s posted a 12-15 overall mark, 2-8 in Coastal League South play.

At La Jolla Country Day School, the Torreys came in at 15-11, 7-3 in Coastal League South action.

On the softball diamond, The Bishop’s School compiled a stellar 22-2 mark, including 7-1 in Coastal League action.

In the CIF Division IV playoffs, the Lady Knights dropped a 5-1 decision in late May to Central High.

budget analyst Andrea Tevlin. While Mayor Faulconer originally wanted to take $500,000 from the library budget to support city venues, Tevlin and several councilmembers supported taking the money from other sources, including the general fund.

The City Council gave approval and praise to the mayor for adding four more hours to the anemic 44-hour schedule of neighborhood libraries.

Council President Todd Gloria thanked his colleagues, the mayor, Tevlin and the public for a “smooth and transparent process and sound

and fiscally responsible budget.” He also applauded those additional library hours.

President pro tem Sherri Lightner made the motion to accept the revised budget for 2015, seconded

by Gloria. Lightner cited the collaboration with the mayor's office and the council and was pleased to see the $500,000 restored to the library budget. Councilwoman Lorie Zapf gave a personal story about being a book person while her children were nook readers.

She wants a full evaluation of the collections in each library: What branches and locations are being used? How much online use does the public require?

Step 4 Fill in the entire wreath with the six-pack plants or flowers, planting them very tightly together. Fill the spaces between the plants with more moss, pressing it into the wreath as tightly as you can.

Lay the wreath flat and water it thoroughly. Hang your wreath on a large, sturdy hook, since it will become quite heavy.

Before the vote was taken, councilman David Alvarez thanked Gloria, Tevlin and his colleagues, but he felt "some communities are more equal than others" under the new budget. He felt his District 8 came up short, and so the vote was 8-1 in favor of the 2015 package.

After the meeting, listening to a few hours of the words “consultants,” “lawyers” and “feasibility studies,” all of which cost big bucks, questions arise: Who will oversee the distribution of funding for the planned tutoring program?

Is there a breakdown of costs?

Where will the money go? Who will provide the lesson plans? How much will tutors be paid? What are

their qualifications? What accountability do students have? Will success be measured by their test scores or for just showing up for seat time?

The Balboa Park Centennial Celebration committee is a recent memory, whereby money was squandered on lush salaries for little accomplished. Can history repeat itself with the tutoring program?

Libraries have reinvented themselves into community centers. You can see a movie or hear a lecture at Riford or UC. You can use a computer or check out a current DVD. In a recent New Yorker article, Ian Frazier wrote: “New York City has
