SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER GROUP

La Jolla Shores The perfect vacation destination is in our backyard By DAVE SCHWAB Most everyone knows about the Village of La Jolla or UCSD campus, but fewer may be familiar with the community nestled between them. Somewhat tucked away, La Jolla Shores is perhaps sometimes overlooked as a vacation or staycation destination. The community is thriving, however, and offers one of San Diego’s premiere locations. With its compact commercial district along Avenida de la Playa and mile-long beach stretching from the sea cliffs just north of La Jolla Cove to Black’s Beach south of Torrey Pines State Park, the Shores is the “pearl” within “the Jewel.” While there’s plenty going on the Shores year round, summer is the peak time, and the mostly small businesses there want people to know about it. There are more Shores businesses serving locals and out-of-towners than might be immediately obvious — 143 to be exact, according to Isabelle “Izzy” Tihanyi, co-owner of Surf Diva at 2160 Avenida de la Playa, and a member of the community’s micro-business improvement district. “We have retail businesses, professionals, including attorneys and architects,” Tihanyi said. “You can come here and spend the day on the beach going snorkeling, kayaking and surfing, then come and have lunch, then get your hair and nails done at the salon (Bella at 2182 Avenida de la Playa). You could live here and never leave.” Tihanyi said the beachfront economy continues to rebound, noting this year is

a good indication. “After the Fourth of July, which turned out to be a four-day weekend, which was really good for us, things got crazy,” she said. “Friday the fifth was our busiest day of the year and it’s stayed awesome ever since.” The Shores boasts a dozen or more restaurants, offering everything from burgers and pizza to international and haute cuisine. One of the Shores’ cornerstone eateries is Piatti Italian Ristorante & Bar at

QUICKHITS >> LA JOLLA HIGH ASB FUNDS MISUSE INVESTIGATED — A former La Jolla High School clerk is being investigated by San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) for shifting $25,000 in Associated Student Body (ASB) funds earmarked for student activities to other purposes. The investigation stems from a 52-page audit of La Jolla High’s ASB funds. La Jolla principal Dana Shelburne and Area 3 superintendent Julie Martel said the school would comply with all of the district’s recommendations to ensure its ASB funds are properly managed. The most serious audit findings dealt with the dealings of the financial clerk, who allegedly used a series of accounting manipulations to shift money from one account to another to cover missing funds, the audit report said. “The public can be assured that SDUSD takes very seriously our responsibility to properly spend funds from taxpayers and donors alike,” said SDUSD superintendent Cindy Marten. “In cases where an audit has shown that policies or the law are not followed, all appropriate action will be taken,” Marten said. Marten noted district employee-privacy rules preclude officials from always sharing the consequences of audits with the public. “However, the district will follow through with appropriate discipline/legal action as required,” Marten said adding that, as superintendent, she expects all district employees to “understand and follow our district policies, procedures and the law. It is the district’s responsibility to provide relevant, timely and clear information and training to our employees for this important function.” — Dave Schwab

JEFF RUTGARD led training for 11 opthalmologists from across the country on June 29 during SEE International’s sight-restoration training at SEE’s international headquarters in Santa Barbara. The training related to manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) and taught recent developments in the clinical management of cataract extraction in humanitarian settings around the world. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in developing countries. Upon conclusion of the training program, participants were able to fully comprehend and explain the latest

developments in MSICS, participate with a mentor in low-technology MSICS in a humanitarian setting and demonstrate skills needed for proficiency in the procedure. All participants were ophthalmologists who have traveled or plan to travel on behalf of SEE International. KEVIN DEFREITAS Architects recently completed work on a new 420-seat undergrad lecture hall built completely inside the shell of Galbraith Hall, the original campus library (c. 1965). “[It was] a tricky renovation made even more complicated by the fact the KEVIN floors below the DEFREITAS construction were continuously occupied and all building supplies and equipment had to fit between the front doors,” deFreitas said. The university also recently retained deFreitas, who won the 2010 Young Architect of the Year award, to renovate Student Center B, the original student center on campus, as well as for a feasibility study to rebrand the Warren College residential dormitories of Frankfurter, Stewart and Harlan Halls. “We are blessed to be working at UCSD, a place that deeply respects thoughtful and innovative design,” deFreitas said.

Wertheim said he finds the institute’s focus on the immune system intriguing. “I am a strong advocate for wellness and preventive medicine,” he said. “The potential to avert disease, rather than treating it after significant damage has already occurred, is exciting and something I have pursued in my own research. La Jolla Institute is the world’s premier immunology research organization, and I feel a real kinship with its mission. I am pleased to be a member of the Institute’s board and look forward to serving.”

Bird Rock Community Council, July 2

La Jolla Community Planning Association, July 4

At the July meeting of the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC), off-leash dogs were a topic of discussion. “If you see something, report it because that really helps us with animal services,” Sterling McHale, policy advisor for Fourth District Supervisor Ron Roberts, told Bird Rock residents about ongoing off-leash dog problems. BRCC chairwoman Jacqueline Bell said there have been instances where people have “literally been driven out of the park” at Calumet by unrestrained dogs and owners who felt entitled to let their pets go off-leash. “It’s a difficult problem to change the cultural attitude toward dogs,” she said, noting offleash dogs are virtually unseen in Canada, where it is unacceptable to ignore animal-control laws. “Ron knows that the beach communities are very concerned about two things: homelessness and animals,” McHale said. Resident Mike Costello suggested people could curb troublesome off-leash dogs by photographing them and their owners and taking them to civil court. “Right now it’s to the point where most of us agree there is virtual non-compliance with nuisance, off-leash and sanitation laws,” said resident Mike Costello, adding “a little bit of law enforcement would help, even if it is spotty.”

The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) endorsed an outdoor patio for an existing Starbucks at the group’s July meeting. Starbucks (previously World Savings Bank) at 1055 Torrey Pines Road is requesting a conditional-use permit (CUP) to allow for approximately 1,099 square feet of outdoor patio seating in a commercial building. The agenda item was pulled at a previous meeting by former LJCPA trustee Mike Costello, who warned that putting additional outdoor seating at the restaurant adjoining busy Torrey Pines Road “was a bad idea.” Trustee Myrna Naegle agreed. “It’s dangerous. There’s a tremendous amount of traffic going into that driveway as it is now,” Naegle said. Patrick Ahern said he frequents that Starbucks and has never had difficulty getting in or out. “They need this outside space and it will create a sense of community. I like the idea,” he said. Trustee Frances O’Neill Zimmerman liked the idea of Starbucks’ patio but said she thinks the store’s driveway “are terrible.” Planner Phil Merten said he didn’t know why people would want to sit on a patio next to such a busy street, but added he thought Starbucks was appealing to a younger demographic that doesn’t seem to mind. Representing Starbucks, architect Elizabeth Valerio discussed the patio expansion, noting the new patio would be constructed where the former bank’s drive-through was. “It’s a very simple patio with couches, chairs and loose-floating tables,” Valerio said, adding the patio will be “a nice addition creating a pedestrian-friendly environment.” The LJCPA vote was overwhelmingly in favor of granting the CUP for the project.

Las Patronas awards La Jolla High public school grant The Foundation of La Jolla High School has been chosen as the recipient of the 2013 La Jolla Public School grant of $10,000. The grant will be used to purchase security cameras to improve the safety on campus for the students, staff and administration. In light of tragedies that have occurred on school campuses across the country, the school’s administration felt that enhancing the current security system could prove to be a wise investment. La Jolla High School has always been a neighborhood school with few fences separating it from the surrounding community, which, said principal Dana Shelburne, has fostered a strong sense of pride and personal responsibility among students and a welcoming atmosphere for parents and neighbors. Simultaneously, the lack of perimeter fencing has created a need for other security measures, and surveillance cameras have addressed that need since the foundation first funded the purchase and installation of cameras more than a decade ago. The passage of time has necessitated upgrades and replacements, and the Las Patronas grant will help fill the void left by the shortage of funding from the school district. Student and staff safety is a necessary and fundamental function of any school campus, and the security cam-

eras purchased with the Las Patronas grant will greatly improve the functionality of the current security system. The addition of the new cameras will enhance the school’s ability to maintain a safe and secure environment for students and staff. Both the foundation and La Jolla High School are pleased to have been chosen by the Las Patronas organization as this year’s winner of the La Jolla Public School Grant. Foundation president Jeff Macelli said he is grateful for the generosity Las Patronas has shown La Jolla High School and he is pleased it has partnered with the foundation to help champion this cause. — Staff and contribution

How to Sell High: Avoid these Three Mistakes When Selling Your La Jolla Home this Summer La Jolla - When you decide to sell your home, setting your asking price is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Depending on how a buyer is made aware of your home, price is often the first thing he or she sees, and many homes are discarded by prospective buyers as not being in the appropriate price range before they're even given a chance of showing. Your asking price is often your home's "first impression", and if you want to realize the most money you can for your home, it's imperative that you make a good first impression. This is not as easy as it sounds, and pricing strategy should not be taken lightly. Pricing too high can be as costly to a homeseller as pricing too low. Taking a look at what homes in your neighborhood have sold for is only a small part of the process, and on it's own is not near-

ly enough to help you make the best decision. A recent study, which compiles 10 years of industry research, has resulted in a new special report entitled "Homesellers: How to Get the Price You Want (and Need)". This report will help you understand pricing strategy from three different angles. When taken together, this information will help you price your home to not only sell, but sell for the price you want. To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.SellHighLaJolla.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free (800) 474-3292 and enter 1216.

San Diego Superior Court Judge Robert Longstreth heard the detective and another witness in the preliminary hearing and set a trial date for Sept. 3. Gomez has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody on $50,000 bond. A prosecutor said Gomez could face 4 years in prison if convicted. — Neal Putnam TRIO IN UNIVERSITY CITY BANK ROBBERY — Three people involved in a June bank robbery in University City in which one robber was shot will have a preliminary hearing on July 22 in San Diego Superior Court. The trio is accused of holding up the Wells Fargo Bank on June 11, but a security guard shot Casey Allen Wilson, 27, who was later found at a hospital and was arrested there. Police also arrested Laura Joyce Elshire, 42. Mexican police arrested Robert Anthony Hodge, 28, and he was turned over to police on July 6. All three have pleaded not guilty, and they all remain in jail on high bail. Elshire has a misdemeanor case in El Cajon that involves possession of drug paraphernalia, records say. — Neal Putnam

LA JOLLA PHYSICIAN FINED, ORDERED TO REPAY MEDICARE — The corporate medical practice for La Jolla physician Joel I. Bernstein has been ordered to pay $1.7 million in restitution to Medicare for his billing and purchase of unapproved foreign cancer drugs. His practice was also fined $500,000 and he was placed on probation for one year with no jail time on July 2. Bernstein, 59, pleaded guilty in January to a misdemeanor charge of using interstate commerce to market a new drug, Mabthera, which is made in Turkey but is not approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. His medical practice pleaded guilty to defrauding Medicare, which paid for the use of foreign prescription drugs — a practice Medicare is barred from doing. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Bernstein purchased $3.4 million of foreign cancer drugs despite the fact they had not been approved for use in the U.S.

There are no allegations in any of the documents that state any of Bernstein’s patients were harmed. — Neal Putnam PLAYHOUSE AND DONORNATION PARTNER FOR SCHOOLS — DonorNation announced the La Jolla Playhouse will donate a pair of tickets for every performance in the Playhouse’s 2013-14 season to be sold on DonorNation.org at half price for $65.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – AIRPORT LAND USE COMPATIBILITY PLAN SCH NO. 2013031060 – SDCRAA # EIR-13-01 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION: The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, acting in its capacity as the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for the County of San Diego, has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for San Diego International Airport, located in the City of San Diego. The basic function of an ALUCP is to promote compatibility between an airport and the future land uses that surround the airport and lie within the airport’s designated airport influence area (AIA), to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses. (Pub. Util. Code, §21675, subd. (a)). The AIA is comprised of the areas in which current or future airport-related noise, safety, airspace and/or overflight concerns may affect future land uses or necessitate land use restrictions on those areas. The SDIA AIA includes portions of the cities of San Diego, Coronado, and National City; the County of San Diego; Civic San Diego; the San Diego Unified Port District; and all school, community college and special districts within the AIA. The proposed SDIA ALUCP would regulate the future development of new residential dwellings, commercial structures, and other noiseor risk-sensitive land uses. The proposed project designates as incompatible the future development of specified uses in certain portions of the AIA, conditionally limits the future development of these uses in other portions, and permits these uses without limitation in yet other portions. The proposed SDIA ALUCP would be utilized by the ALUC when it reviews proposed land use projects in the AIA. The ALUCP would also assist local agencies in their preparation or amendment of land use plans and ordinances, as state law explicitly requires local agencies to modify their planning documents to be consistent with the ALUCP, or otherwise overrule the ALUC within a specified timeframe. (Pub. Util. Code, §21676). The Draft EIR determined that the proposed project would result in potential significant and unavoidable impacts to land use and planning and population and housing. A PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD, during which the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority will receive comments upon the proposed Draft EIR, commences on July 12, 2013. Comments should be addressed to the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. The deadline for receiving written comments regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR is August 26, 2013. Comments may be submitted by: Mail to the Authority offices at SDCRAA, P.O Box 82776, San Diego, CA 92138-2776 (these comments must be postmarked by Monday, August 26, 2013). E-mail to the Authority offices at alucpcomments@san.org. The Airport Authority will accept comments to this notice via e-mail received by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, August 26, 2013, if the comments: (i) contain less than 2,000 words; and (ii) the e-mail comments do not contain any attachments. Any comments or responses to this notice containing more than 2,000 words, or which are accompanied by any attachments, must be delivered in writing to the address specified above, or they will not be considered as valid responses to this notice. Delivery to the Authority offices at San Diego International Airport or faxed to (619) 400-2448 by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, August 26, 2013. COPIES OF THE DRAFT EIR ARE AVAILABLE from the Airport Planning Department, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, with offices located in the Commuter Terminal at San Diego International Airport, 3225 North Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

La Jolla: An entrepreneur’s seaside paradise For those looking to shop local, La Jolla offers no shortage of options, no matter what you’re in the market for. But just what makes the community such a hotbed of unique, locally owned and operated businesses? In the following two pages, you’ll find a sampling — by no means exhaustive — of some of the business-minded individuals who give La Jolla a leading edge when it comes to avant-garde enterprise. They have sacrificed time, money and sleep to make their entrepreneurial dreams a reality, building their businesses from the ground up. Of couse, we don’t have the space to even get close to including all the ambitious La Jollans who have set up shop in the community, but check back from time to time as La Jolla Today continues to feature our most business-savvy residents. LAST SUMMER, RYAN BETTENCOURT noticed a woman trying on shoes at a store in Westfield UTC. She was taking photos of each pair with her phone and texting them to friends for advice on which pair to choose to wear to a party that night. Bettencourt thought, “There has to be a better way to do that.” After a few brainstorming sessions with friends Grant Bostrom and Keiran Flanigan — some of which took place in Bostrom’s grandmother’s La Jolla home — the three launched Blurtopia. A groundbreaking social-media platform, Blurtopia uses pictures and questions or statements to start online conversations. “We call it the real-time opinion network for the things you’re passionate about,” Bostrom said. “It’s a conversation starter.” Users create questions via their iPhone (an Android app will be coming soon) to start a conversation or simply get an opinion by “blurting” it

MARTIN HALL, OWNER AND CHEF OF GREEN DOOR CATERING, has always had an interest in food and health. The La Jollan has worked for years studying the effects food has on our health, particularly its healing aspects. He has been involved with several local restaurants and markets, and has developed his palate over decades in the food industry. A few years ago, Hall was involved in the opening of La Jolla’s Finch’s Wine Bar and Bistro, but a desire to focus more on his signature organic vegetarian fare prompted him to branch off and open his own operation, Green Door Catering. Hall developed a menu featuring locally sourced, seasonal produce. He is a regular staple at the

WHEN CAUE SUPLICY WAS A CHILD GROWING UP IN BRAZIL, his architect father one day brought home a broken skylight from a construction site. Upon discovering all the grass beneath the skylight had died by the next morning, Suplicy’s father decided to try out the phenomenon on fruit, creating a homemade dehydrator, with raw, organic, dehydrated bananas being his specialty. Fast-forward 20 years and Suplicy, a professional triathlete now living in San Diego, realized the dried bananas his father created years ago — which he had been using for years as energy supplements in his athletic training — were more convenient and nutritious than many of the energy bars and gels on the U.S. market. After sharing the treats with fellow athletes for years, Suplicy decided to turn them into an actual product, and Barnana was born. “I realized I had this big opportunity, so I started researching it some more,” he said. “I learned a lot about other products like acai berries and coconut water, and I realized no one was doing that with bananas. It’s the best-selling fruit in the

out to the world. Questions can be polled using a variety of options: “Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down,” “Rate 1-5” or “This or That,” depending on the nature of the question. Other users then answer quickly using a simple interface. A beta product launch quickly got featured in the iTunes App Store and received more than 100,000 votes in the first 10 days. “We knew we quickly had something that users enjoyed, but when we went to open the funding doors again, the mobile gold rush was over and investors wanted to see more,” Bostrom said. The creators realized that relying on iTunes as the sole market for the app was no longer a viable route. They branched out by allowing users to post their profile pages back to Instagram to promote their Blurtopia account and to get more followers, a move that proved to be a solid approach. Then, last month, Blurtopia got a big boost: the app and its founders won the San Diego Shark Tank

La Jolla, UCSD and Encinitas farmers markets, offering his most popular dishes, including quiches, salads and a customer favorite, the “Bombay Bomb,” a vegan curry burger made using 30 ingredients. “My business is purely organic and vegetarian,” he said. “I’ve built a real rapport with local farms and farmers.” Hall’s business is built mostly on catering — he services weddings and parties of every kind — but Green Door is growing and branching out. He recently struck up a partnership with the owner of downtown’s La Gran Tapa, where he’s offering lunch selections Tuesdays through Fridays under the guise of Green Door Café. And on that note, he hopes to open a permanent Green Door Café in La Jolla in the near future. He even catered a meal for vegan Natalie Portman and her family recently when she visited San Diego. Hall feels his food fills a niche in La Jolla — and the city as a whole. “I still feel [the food scene] is underdeveloped on [the vegetarian] front. I think my food is dif-

world, but no one [in the energy and athletic industries] ever tried to focus on the banana market.” Suplicy started the company with a few friends in La Jolla nearly four years ago, and Barnana has since grown exponentially. Now carried in more than 300 retail stores, Suplicy said the product is being added to “new stores every week.” He hopes to bring Barnana to international markets in the future. “It’s really important to us that our goal is to provide other options to people trying to lead a healthy lifestyle,” he said. “The great thing is that it tastes really good, has no sugar added and is really healthy. And you don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy it.” Barnana can be found in the following local stores: Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, The Rush Cycling Studio, Jonathan’s Market, La Jolla Fit, Brick & Bell Café, Lean & Green Café, Living Room Coffee House and Whole Foods Market. To order online or for other locations, visit barnana.com.

The win accorded the startup $5,000, but Bostrum said it’s the contacts and exposure resulting from the contest that hold real value.

FRIDAY · JULY 19, 2013 LA JOLLA TODAY

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, A FEW FRIENDS who had always enjoyed getting the freshest meat and produce they could, decided what La Jolla needed was an old-school butcher shop. Peter Morris, Dan Snyder and Matt Rimel had all been advocates of hunting for their meat — it allowed them to ensure their catch had lived a free life, as well as providing the opportunity to make the most out of nearly every part of the animal. The three were also accustomed to getting beef for their personal use from a farm on Palomar Mountain owned by the Mendenhall family. The beef was purely grassfed, and Morris said it was “the best-tasting beef we’d ever had.” Then, one day, perhaps fueled by “a beer or two,” the three decided they should put their personal proclivities to commercial use, and thus Homegrown Meats was born. Specializing in custom cuts, grassfed beef and meat with no hormones or antibiotics, Homegrown Meats opened its doors in 2008 — a rather unfortunate year to start a high-end specialty shop. Offering all kinds of meat, including homemade sausages, the business grew a bit slowly, but didn’t falter. “We sort of naively went in thinking

La Jolla Entrepreneurs

we would open up this little shop and people would flock to it because there isn’t one like it in La Jolla,” Morris said. “We did get a lot of early attention, but it didn’t just take off and go by itself. We had to stay really involved.” Then, two years ago, Whole Foods approached the partners. The organic chain loved Homegrown’s grass-fed beef and wanted to carry it in the region’s stores. At that point, the Mendenhall family came on board in an official capacity, along with additional partner Thad Benshoof to help with the huge inventory Homegrown was now responsible for procuring. The shop is now thriving. A new management team has been hired, and the owners will celebrate their five-year anniversary with a celebration on Aug. 4 with live music, entertainment — and a lot of food. Morris said Homegrown Meats hopes to branch out into prepared or ready-tocook food in the near future, and soon their signature grass-fed beef will be certified organic, as well. “I think we’re absolutely filling a niche. There are a lot of people who want [our products] because they’re healthier and they taste better. Plus it’s local. It’s never more than 100 miles from our shop,” Morris said. “It was something of a leap of faith, but it’s something we’re all interested in and passionate about. We’re all passionate about good, healthy food.” Homegrown Meats: 7660 Fay Ave., Suite C (858) 454-6328 www.homegrown meats.com

MEANING “PURE LIFE” IN SPANISH, PURA VIDA, an international retail jewelry business with a storefront at 737 Pearl St., Ste. 206, started out as an SDSU college graduation trip by business partners Paul Goodman and Griffin Thalls. During a visit to Costa Rica, Goodman and Thalls crossed paths with two men who were peddling colorful, handmade bracelets on the street. They asked them if they would be willing to make 400 bracelets to take back to the United States. Those bracelets quickly sold out with people asking for more, which led the pair to conclude they were selling not just jewelry but “a lifestyle representing the simple things.” Thall said Pure Vida is about being free and living life to its fullest with no regrets or taking anything for granted. “It’s an attitude,” he said, admitting, “Getting started, we didn’t really know what we were doing.” That led Thall and Goodman to talk to people and find out how to start a “fashion brand.” The rest is history. Pura Vida bracelets are now sold in 3,000 retail stores nationwide and distributed to 15 countries around the world. A portion of all bracelet proceeds benefit the Costa Rican artisans who create the bracelets, and the retailer also sells 160 custom bracelets to benefit other charities around the world. — Dave Schwab www.puravidabracelets.com (858) 444-5477

LOCATED IN UNIVERSITY CITY, LA CAFÉ is a unique eatery that specializes in kosher creations. Maija Vyas, formerly a nurse, and husband Rohit, a contractor, completely remodeled a rundown restaurant transforming it into a kosher vegetarian eatery. “Our slogan is: Get healthy the kosher way,” said Maija, noting she and her husband broke fresh ground in a number of ways with La Café’s opening. “Neither of us had had a restaurant before, so we learned a lot of things by making mistakes,” Maija said, adding their second biggest challenge was the “kosher aspect.” “We have to adhere to strict kosher laws, having things inspect-

ed by a rabbi, observing Jewish holidays,” she said. Maija said she and Rohit had to also overcome the stigma that kosher food is “bland and colorless.” “We actually have pretty tasty food,” she said, adding it’s also been a challenge to coax non-Jewish residents unfamiliar with kosher cuisine into their restaurant to give it a try. La Café offers a diverse vegan menu, including salads, burekas, pizzas and pastas. 6104 Regents Road rvyas@san.rr.com (858) 202 0097 — Dave Schwab

ow in its fourth year, the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival has become the annual global event for the worldwide fashion film community.

With films and productions being made specifically for LJFFF, the festival has truly become a world-renowned event, with professionals from as close as Hollywood to the farthest fashion capitals of the world coming together to network, watch top films, learn, participate, win awards, make deals and attend fabulous parties. This year, LJFFF introduces the International Fashion Film Awards (IFFA). As the event has grown over the last four years, it has attracted the most highly skilled and creative individuals in the fashion and film industries, prompting LJFFF creator Fred Sweet to develop the IFFAs to recognize the contributions of the best writers, directors, producers, hairstylists, makeup artists and more to the world of fashion film. With fashion film now firmly established as a worldwide art movement, LJFFF and IFFA gives recognition and enhances the careers of creative professionals, as well as putting La Jolla on the map as the location of the first North American international fashion film festival. The Academy Award-style IFFA ceremony will take place in La Jolla’s Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego on July 27 from 8 to 10:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.ljfff.com. — Kendra Hartmann

Four of Lagerfeld’s films will be screened at the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival in Sherwood Auditorium at MCASD. Guests will view “Paris-Moscou,” “Remember Now,” “Tale of a Fairy” and “Once Upon a Time” — his latest, which stars Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel.

La Jolla Fashion Film Festival LEADING UP TO THE LA JOLLA FASHION FILM FESTIVAL, La Jolla Today has featured several interviews with professionals in the fashion and film industries. Check out these Q&As with leading experts in fashion, photography and design.

FRENCH-BRAZILIAN JACQUES DEQUEKER is a self-taught photographer who works regularly with Vogue Brazil, Vogue Portugal, French Marie Claire, Glamour Paris, V Magazine and more. Q: How much did you know about La Jolla before hearing about the Festival? A: I got involved in the second edition of LJFFF. [Festival director] Fred Sweet contacted me and JACQUES invited me for the festival with DEQUEKER three of my films. It was amazing be a part of it. Q: Do you feel international events like LJFFF can bring people together in ways the Internet and Facebook can’t? A: Yes. Last year, I created the first fashion film festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was a great experience. I

got films from many top directors and photographers and put them together. It was a dream, and I think this is a new movement that could pull people with the same feelings and creativity together. Q: How did you get involved with fashion film? A: Five years ago, I heard about the RED camera and the Canon 5D, that they could film easily, and I started experimenting with them. I fell in love with this new wave and it became my passion. Since then, I have created more than 120 fashion films. Q: What are the important elements that make a fashion film successful? A: We never really know, but I think perfect timing is very important. There are interesting films that become boring when they run on too long. Q: What advice would you give to aspiring filmmakers? A: Try, try, try.

COSTUME DESIGNER AND FASHION EDITOR MAXINE VAN-CLIFFE ARAKAWA is the creator of Maxine Digital Magazine and has worked as a designer in films like “Another Nine and a Half Weeks.” Q: How much did you know about La Jolla before hearing about the Festival? A: I had heard of it but did not know what I know now! MAXINE Q: Do you feel international VAN-CLIFFE events like LJFFF can bring peoARAKAWA ple together in ways the Internet

and Facebook can’t? A: I think they have a positive effect on each other, and both have influence on us all through fashion. Q: What do you look for in fashion films? A: When I watch a fashion film, I want to be inspired, as I was when I saw the recent biography of Diana Vreeland, who actually started my career. Q: What will be the impact of fashion films on fashion marketing in the future? A: I think they will become more and more of a tool in the promotion and marketing of brands. The next big influence on the market will be “The Great Gatsby” — every brand has done a version of the Gatsby look before the movie even had a release date.

LJFFF is the perfect catalyst to bring together talented artists, producers, their creative teams, casts and fans from around the globe. I don’t think this could happen another way. People want to be there to share their passion and their ideas first hand. It’s exhilarating and engaging in an incredibly relaxed and gorgeous setting. It’s difficult to imagine the same experience online. Q: How have fashion films affected the world of fashion media and blogging? A: Fashion films are really exploding on the scene with a fastgrowing worldwide audience. The appetite for good fashion film is testament to why this festival is here today, LJFFF being one of the pioneers in bringing together the best of fashion films from everywhere. Q: What do you look for in fashion films? A: I look to be surprised. I look for intelligent beauty, a good story and great fashion. Q: What will be the impact of fashion films on fashion marketing in the future? A: Fashion film is still very young, but it’s bound to quickly become a giant. It’s going to change the publishing business for good. Innovators like [festival director] Fred Sweet are helping to shape this serious impact in a positive way.

MUSTHEAR >> Country music may not have a very high profile in San Diego, but there is a large audience locally that appreciates classic tunes in the Grand Ol’ Opry tradition. On Sunday, July 21, La Jolla’s Concerts by the Sea will present a performance from The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, playing a mix of old favorites and a few choice originals in the same style. You’ll hear evergreens like “Ring of Fire” and “Folsom Prison Blues,” as well as other genre perennials, but if any doubts linger as to just how good this band is, it’s a testament to its

vocal and instrumental strengths that its name was approved by none other than the late Johnny Cash himself. The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash: Sunday, July 21 at La Jolla Concerts by the Sea, Scripps Park. 2 p.m., All ages. Free. www.ljconcertsbythesea.org — Bart Mendoza

15-Minute workout!

The San Diego Center for Children (SDCC), the city’s oldest nonprofit organization serving children, celebrated its 126th year recently with a gala at the US Grant Hotel. SDCC promotes the well-being of children, families and communities by providing an array of proven and effective behavioral health, education and social services. Doreen Schonbrun, Anita Norton, Marla Black and Elizabeth Oliver were co-chairs of the gala, and their theme was “Imagine.” Arriving guests were offered Orange Julius martinis (orange juice, Grey Goose orange vodka, egg whites, vanilla extract, and cream — a really great idea!). Wines and champagne were also available, and servers tray-passed savory hors d’oeuvres. At the reception’s end, partygoers ascended to the Presidential Ballroom, passing The Capri Trio — lovely young violinists in black dresses, strategically positioned on the grand stairway, playing classical refrains. Welcoming guests to an evening filled with fun and entertainment, emcee and Channel 8 newscaster Barbara Lee Edwards invited them to imagine a future in which the children and families of San Diego are the healthiest in the nation, and living in a city so aware and committed to behavioral health for children as to present a model for others for preserving and regaining happy childhoods. The violinists played on stage as guests savored a dinner featuring petite tenderloin and seared salmon. A seven-item live auction started off with a “dirty chocolate martini” served by SDCC CEO Dave McCaslin, bringing in a stunning $3,500 from someone who either really loves chocolate martinis or who simply wanted to make a nice donation to SDSCC. Other items were similarly successful, aided by the wildly generous bids of Darlene Shiley, who’s never seen a bidding war she didn’t like. (She went home with a Corum luxury watch and a two-day Corvette-driving course at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. Never again will she be late for an event!) A moving onstage entertainment program began with a drum circle led by SDCC music director Sundiata Kata, later joined by 14 singers from SDCC’s Children’s Choir, and 24 more

Lifestyles Are You Planning For Long-Term Care? NORC Center for Public Affairs Research recently released the findings of a national poll on long-care. The poll interviewed Americans who were 40 years or older on their perceptions, attitudes and ideas about aging and longterm care. What was found was this: Most Americans underestimated the cost of nursing home care and overestimated what Medicare pays. Almost one-third of the people interviewed don’t want to think about getting older. Sixty-five percent of Americans are not putting money aside to help them pay for possible long-term care needs. Sixty-eight percent of Americans interviewed think their family will take care of them when the need arises. Even though Americans are concerned about aging, almost sixty percent have taken no steps of talking to their family about long-term care. A majority of Americans, regardless of political preferences, would support solutions from the government to finance long-term care. Seventy-five percent favor tax incentives to encourage saving for long-term care expenses and fifty-one percent would like a government administered plan. This poll has come at a time when the federal Commission on Long-Term Care is exploring policy options for making sure all Americans will be able to age with dignity and independence. For more information on health care needs and help with long-term care, call a RN Care Manager from Innovative Healthcare Consultants at 760.731.1334 or visit our website at innovativehc.com.

Grab Bars Provide Safety for Seniors

SAN DIEGO GRAB BARS is dedicated to helping you stay independent and safe in your own home. We offer grab bars, shower seats and hand held shower heads to help make the bathroom a safer environment. And while the bathroom is where people normally think that they need grab bars, we can install hand rails and grab bars anywhere in your home: next to the bed, at the top of the stair case, in the hall or outside the back door. When we visit you, we bring along a great selection of products for same day installation. Decide what diameter and texture feels best before you buy. We can match the finish of your existing hardware. Falls are one of the main reasons people leave home and move into assisted care. Let us help you prevent falls and stay in the home you love.

How To Tell If Its Time To Replace Your Hearing Aids If you wear hearing aids, you already know that they require regular maintenance. Dirt kills hearing aids, as well as exposure to humidity. Most experts recommend having your instruments professionally cleaned every four months. As the digital chip, wires and other hearing aid parts age past 4 years, the sound can become degraded, leaving wearers feeling that they are not hearing as well. This is why on average, hearing aid wearers replace their hearing aids every five years. It is also good to have your hearing retested annually. If your hearing changes, sometimes your instruments can be adjusted to accommodate your current hearing loss. If it has been over six months since your last hearing instrument cleaning and performance check, or over one year since your last hearing test, you should call for a complimentary appointment. Seacoast Hearing Care is conveniently located in La Jolla Village. (858) 9228941.

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! 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 Most women who want this service suffer from thin,weak and damaged natural hair, but once this application process has been applied, you will be amazed at the transformation that occurs, not only in your hair, but also in your outlook! • 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. • How Do You Match Hair Extensions for Clients With Curly Hair? If a client with curly hair wants to wear their hair straight then nothing needs to be done to the extensions . If the hair is worn curly most of the time the extensions can be permed prior to attacment to the natural hair.

on the horizon. Judy has over 55 colors 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. Those old methods can lead to hair breakage when being removed. Judy’s hair extensions are joined to your natural hair by using a safe, all-natural, keratin protein bond application system. We can match your existing color too!

La Jolla Wellness Studio A different kind of fitness Center What makes the La Jolla Wellness Studio stand apart from other fitness centers, is the technological approach it employs, utilizing vibration technology and focusing on the equal importance of preparation and recovery time. First time visitors have their body scanned to produce a 15-point comprehensive analysis that personalizes the exact areas and measurements to focus on. Then comes the workout, if you can even call it that. Unlike a sweaty and exhausting trip to the gym, here you can come in as you are at any point of the day. The process consists of three intervals; you begin by standing on a vibrating platform that prepares your muscles for action, then four minutes on the range of motion device, and followed by six minutes laying on a horizontal vibrating platform that facilitates muscle recovery and prevents aches and pains. Come give us a try. 7660 Fay Ave. La Jolla. 858-444-0340.

• Are hair extensions uncomfortable? Judy’s extensions are applied to your hair with a very small bond of natural keritin protein. Most people don’t notice a difference between the hair extensions and their own natural hair. • How do I maintain my extensions at home and between visits to the salon?

Judy is fully trained on how to educate her clients to professionally take care of their hair extensions at home. Judy will recommend hair care products, brushes, combs and appliances for use at home. Hairstyling is very similar to how you style your hair without extensions.

• 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 mod ulating. 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

an Italian-inspired meal accompanied by a craft beer, wine from our barrel-to-table program or a hand-crafted cocktail.” Other restaurants include French cuisine-inspired Voulez Vous Bistro & Boulangerie, Barbarella, El Charro Mexican Food, Jeff ’s Burgers, House of Pizza, Yogurt Escape, Cheese Shop Deli, Sushi Mori, Subway Sandwiches, Osteria Romantica, Squires Café & Deli and Cusp Restaurant in Hotel La Jolla. The Shores is unique and has much to offer besides its obvious oceanside amenities, said Terry Kraszewski, owner of Ocean Girl boutique at 2162 Avenida de la Playa. Part of the Shores’ charm, she said, is its serenity. “What I like about this area so much is that people and their kids are safe, everybody’s riding their bikes, walking their dogs,” she said. “It’s a really nice, family neighborhood. Everybody feels really good about being here.” The Shores is internationally renowned as a haven for surfers, scuba divers and kayakers. The San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park, with its 6,000 acres of ocean bottom and tidelands, has become a popular destination for snorkelers and scuba divers exploring the “buried treasure” of the unique ocean environment, which includes a 600-foot-deep offshore canyon. “That’s another thing really unique about La Jolla Shores, its being an area of special biological significance,” said Tihanyi. “There are only 19 of them along the West Coast and we have two of them, the Cove and Scripps.” If you’re looking to recreate in the ocean, the Shores is the place to come. Two local businesses, La Jolla Kayak, at 2199 Avenida de la Playa, and Everyday California (formerly OEX La Jolla), at 2243 Avenida de la Playa, are beach outfitters serving the masses. “We have been in business more than 19 years and offer kayak, snorkel and bike tours in La Jolla, La Jolla Cove and San Diego areas,” said co-owner Sharon Luscomb of La Jolla Kayak. “In addition to our tours we offer kayak, SUP, snorkel and other ocean recreational rental items. We have a highly trained, friendly and knowledgeable staff, excellent changing facilities for clients and a free shuttle service available upon request.” Visit www.lajollakayak.com. Christopher Lynch, managing partner of Everyday California, said the business’ goal is to help visitors “live the California Dream.” “Passionate watermen are the core of our company, providing safe and incredibly fun La Jolla kayak tours and snorkeling adventures,” Lynch said. “Everyday California truly reflects the athletic, health-conscious and eco-friendly lifestyle of California.” Visit www.everydaycalifornia.com. Other Shores establishments offering beach rentals and tours include Bike and Kayak Tours, Inc.; La Jolla Surf Systems; Hike, Bike, Kayak; Surf Diva, Surf School; Rusty’s Surfboards; San Diego Bike & Kayak Tours; and La Jolla Sea Cave Kayaks. The shopping, however, is far from limited to surfboards and bathing suits. The Shores offers world-class shopping, with stores like The Shoppe at 2210 (2210 Avenida de la Playa) offering one-of-a-kind items. The La Jolla Art Association, meanwhile, regularly presents exhibits featuring local artists and art for sale (8100 Paseo del

Ocaso, Suite B, www.lajollaart.org). Though the Shores is ideal for locals looking for a day of fun, it also offers plenty of both short and long term hotels. Hotel La Jolla, at 7955 La Jolla Shores Drive, offers high-rise overnight stays in a posh setting. Re-launched last August following a $4 million transformation, Hotel La Jolla is walking distance to La Jolla Shores Beach and features 110 deluxe rooms. A Kimpton Hotel, the property incorporates wellness into its many guest offerings, from local partnerships for surfing, kayaking and yoga, inroom yoga mats and a variety of healthy menu options. Visit www.hotellajolla.com. There’s also La Jolla Shores Hotel, adjacent to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. A local mainstay since 1970, the hotel is perched right on the beach and next to Kellogg Park. Visit www.ljshoreshotel.com. The Shores also has a world-class museum, Birch Aquarium at Scripps at 2300 Expedition Way across from UCSD, showcasing local marine life and other underwater marvels. “You can even see a green flash from the aquarium,” said Mary Coakley Munk, who spearheads nonprofit Friends of La Jolla Shores, which funds Kellogg Park improvements. At the Shores, recreation isn’t limited to the water. Visitors can soar above those plumbing the underwater depths of the ocean with a trip to Torrey Pines Gliderport at 2800 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive. A top-ranked paragliding school in North America since 2000, the city-owned, private-use glider port is home to hang gliders, paragliders, radio-controlled model sailplanes and full-scale, man-carrying sailplanes. The gliderport, listed on both the California and National Register of Historic Places, is considered by some glider enthusiasts “the Kitty Hawk of the West.” Whether you’re spending a day, a week or a month in La Jolla Shores, the community has everything you need for a quintessential California vacation.

It was another beautiful Southern California day. The forecasters were predicting a weekend filled with bright, blue skies and warm sunshine. Our schedule was clear for the next two days, so it was a perfect time to take that much-needed break and drive up the coast for a weekend getaway. We chose Santa Monica and couldn’t have been more pleased with our decision. This gorgeous, seaside community is about twohours away, so it’s a good alternative for San Diegans who want something different but don’t want to hop on an airplane. Whenever we go away, we like to stay in areas that offer lots of walking and biking paths. If you’re like us and enjoy an active lifestyle, Santa Monica is a great fit. We stayed at the Shore Hotel, a beautiful oceanfront boutique hotel on Ocean Avenue. Because of its prime location, we were within walking distance to many local attractions. As a matter of fact, we didn’t use our car once because everything we wanted to do was close by. Our room’s balcony had a full-

on view of the Santa Monica Pier. As we gazed out into the ocean, we could hear the excited kids on the pier’s amusement rides. We could even hear the surfers laughing and the waves crashing. The sights and sounds of summer 2013 were definitely in high gear. Getting onto the coastal bike path from the Shore Hotel is super easy. If you’ve never experienced this bike ride, it’s a must — the ultimate Southern California experience. The bike path is literally on the beach, so the views are fantastic. It’s also flat, making it ideal for people of all fitness levels. Even if you’re not a cyclist, the people watching is out of this world. Everywhere you look, there are colorful street performers or talented roller bladers showing off their moves. We even saw a reality TV camera crew — not a total surprise since Hollywood is just up the street. You can easily spend hours on the bike path and not even realize it. Nearby Main Street, which is

Summer is here

Time to revamp the backyard? Outdoor living spaces have become increasingly popular over the last several years. The home-improvement boom has shown many homeowners just how easy it can be to transform a home into a private sanctuary that caters to the personalities of the home’s residents. Outdoor areas have become an extension of the home’s interior, with many homeowners creating outdoor living rooms and dining areas where they can do some of the same things they do indoors. But homeowners thinking of creating outdoor living spaces should consider a few tricks of the trade before beginning their projects. Strategically place the space. Property often dictates where the outdoor living space will go, but it helps to keep in mind that the outdoor space is more likely to be used if it’s easily accessible from the inside of the home. For instance, if residents need to walk out the front door to access an outdoor living space in the backyard, they might find the area is inconveniently located and may not make the most of the space. Whenever possible, plan the outdoor space so it’s easily accessible from the home’s interior, preferably from the kitchen so it will be easier to

A FEW TRICKS OF THE TRADE can help homeowners create the outdoor living space of their dreams.

carry meals when dining outside. If you’re finding it hard to visualize a new outdoor space, talk to a professional. There are several local companies, like Urbana Design Group, Parsons DesignScapes, Van Brock Landscape and Design and many more, that can help you imagine your future outdoor living space. Emphasize comfort. Many homeowners look at their outdoor living areas as places to kick their feet up and relax, so comfort should take precedence when planning. Forgo the plastic patio chairs for furniture that’s more sturdy and roomy so you won’t feel cramped or sweaty on warm summer evenings and afternoons. In addition, don’t forget to shade the area. Some homeowners

choose to build pergolas — consult a local pro, like Gary Gelbman Home Improvement for estimates. Illuminate the area. Summer nights spent relaxing in the outdoor living area make for great memories. But such nights are nearly impossible if the area doesn’t have some lighting. Tiki torches might do the trick for some, while others might prefer solarpowered accent lights, which won’t require any wiring. If your backyard attracts its fair share of insects, look for insect-repelling lights or lamps. Consult someone who knows gardens — Ernesto’s Gardening is one, though there are many more citywide — to help you decide what’s best. Keep the design consistent with your

home. In addition to providing an outdoor respite from the daily grind, an outdoor living space can also increase a home’s resale value. However, homeowners who have one eye on R&R and the other on resale value should keep the design of their outdoor living space consistent with their home. One of the goals when designing an outdoor living space should be to create a seamless transition from the home’s interior to its exterior. The best way to do that is to keep the designs of both living spaces consistent. If you’ve done some of your own decorating, this might not be difficult for you, but for those who have relied on professionals for the interior look, it might be best to revisit them for the exterior. Another tip: keep an eye out for specials, which businesses will run from time to time. Double G painting specialists are offering 35 percent off exterior paint jobs in July and August. Don’t forget the fire pit. A fire pit provides a great focal point for an outdoor living area. Instead of sitting at the dinner table, families and friends can gather around the fire pit and relax with some s'mores and share stories. Companies like AAA Landscape Specialists can create a design to fit your lifestyle and look. With more and more homeowners transforming their homes into their own private sanctuaries, outdoor living spaces continue to grow in popularity. By employing a few simple tricks of the trade, homeowners can create the outdoor areas of their dreams.

whose credentials appears like a foreign language on their business cards, and that you spend the next six months interviewing before making your selection. Here are a few things to consider about that advice. First, this is not a dating experience and you do not have unlimited time to make your selection.

What you probably never thought about is that real-estate agents are actually small business owners. Whether we choose to be affiliated with a brand-recognized brokerage firm or whether we operate our own brokerage, we are bona-fide entrepreneurs — not unlike any other service provider.

Second, while a “neighborhood expert” is ideal, think about it — no one can make a living by only selling houses in a single neighborhood. You really want someone with a more global understanding of the local markets. Third, caution should be exercised when considering the advice of friends and family. Sure, their intentions are good, but their advice comes from their “know-itall” perspective. We all cling to the ownership of our decisions, and while your friends’ real-estate agent may have been great for them, that same agent may not be a match for you. Finally, while 90 years of experience will have its benefits, an agent who is current with technology, up-to-date with changes in laws and the industry and who has a diverse background and education will likely offer you new perspectives. This column is not long enough to articulate the many criteria for selecting the right agent for you. However, we feel it can be narrowed down to two specific points. First and foremost, remember that you are the “boss,” and the most important goal is that you get

what you want, whether that is to buy/sell a home for your family, and move onward. Second, the key to you getting what you want is to hire an agent who has (1) a powerful action or marketing plan, and (2) one who is responsive and available. You need someone you can trust and who will be proactive. Remember, when you hire a real-estate agent, you are hiring a local small-business owner. Do you have a question about real estate in San Diego? Send your inquiries to Cschevker@san.rr.com. We will respond directly to you, and those questions that have a broader public appeal will be published along with our next column in La Jolla Today.

Doing Jokes, irony and sarcasm

it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. A few days ago, I was standing at the ticket booth of a theater asking to have a couple of tickets reprinted because my friend had left them in his car. I tried to be funny and said to the ticket seller, “My stupid friend forgot his ticket,” being kind of in cahoots with her. “Could you please reprint them?” My friend said nothing at the time, but a few days later, he told me he was really offended by being called stupid. What I saw as humorous, he saw as hurtful. Of course, I felt terrible and wondered how often I use joking, irony, even sarcasm, which I see as humorous but may be perceived as insulting. How can one tell when it is okay to joke and when it isn’t? Realizing I had been insensitive to one of my best friends and that only a close friend may feel confident enough to say, “You hurt me,” I worried that I do this to others who, unbeknownst to me, also react negatively. Teasing, joking and making fun of ourselves and each other can

often create intimacy, diffuse barriers and bond friends and colleagues. Joking about myself with self-deprecating remarks is usually OK, but even then some people are literal and will reply to my remark about being so stupid about something with, “No, no, you are not stupid — you’re smart.” To the question: “How are you?” I have answered with the absurd statement: “I’m perfect and improving,” and then been told in a parental tone, “No one is perfect.” I often use irony as a reverse of the expected. For instance, if someone says, “I will have to work late for the next few days,” I might say, “How exciting!” as opposed to “What a bummer.” It really says the same thing, the tone of voice highlighting the intended incongruity. Sarcasm is a different story. It can by funny, but hurtful at the same time. Never use it with someone who would not feel free to reciprocate or who might be especially sensitive. An example of sarcasm used at White Sands, the retirement community where I live: our executive director said, “We are getting a new bus.” A resident retorted, “In our lifetime?” I joke and use irony with people

The problem is that people seldom admit to being hurt, because that makes them feel even more vulnerable ... Even if your intent is clearly to be humorous, they may wonder if you have a secondary motive because some jokes have an element of truth. I am fond of — I assume they know I like them and will take it with a grain of salt — but this is not necessarily true. Some people feel vulnerable when joked with. I am not very good with boundaries and tend to cross the line, thinking I am being terribly funny, when, in fact, I’m being hurtful. The problem is that people seldom admit to being hurt, because that makes them feel even more vulnerable just when they are under attack. Even if your intent is clearly to be humorous, they may wonder if you have a secondary motive

because some jokes have an element of truth. How to tell why a joke you have just told has gone sour? One way that may help is figuring out what went wrong by looking at the following components. The teller: What was the intent, to be funny or punishing? The receiver: Do you know if this person has a potential sensitivity? The content: Topics like race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, politics and one’s appearance may be off limits for some people. The tone: The tone of voice should indicate whether the statement was meant to be a joke. The culture: In the way some cultures allow kidding that would be unacceptable in another culture, each family also has rules about which types of teasing are acceptable. It is important to apologize for a perceived slight and when in doubt, don’t say it! We all love the sound of laughter — it’s our reward for having been funny. Humor depends on an element of surprise. All in all, adding fun to our lives by whatever means is a worthy endeavor and, notwithstanding the possible pitfalls, it is worth the attempt.

SOCIETY >> CONT. FROM PG. 14

from the San Diego Children’s Choir in bright red jackets. Their moving rendition of the Beatles’ classic “Imagine” earned a well-deserved standing ovation, after which the band’s singers accompanied them, encouraging the audience to join in singing “Stand By Me.” A short video highlighted SDCC’s caring programs for children, many of whom are experiencing tremendous amounts of emotional pain. They have amazing potential, but they need help, and the center strives to make sure they get it. Paddle-raise pledges were then solicited, opened by a $25,000 donation from Ms. Shiley. The event honored the life and legacy of Esther Burnham, a philanthropist and civic leader who passed away last December. An exceptional individual who truly cared about children, she began as a committee volunteer at the center and expanded her role over the years, eventually serving as president of the board of directors. A toast was offered in her honor. The popular band Haute Chile came on to play for dancing, and the dance floor soon filled with energetic partygoers. The successful evening was great fun and netted about $225,000 to help further the work of SDCC.

SANTA MONICA >> CONT. FROM PG. 16

just two blocks from the beach, is another cool area to explore. Filled with quirky shops, unique galleries and charming mom-and-pop restaurants, it’s a hidden gem. We happened to stumble upon it as we were riding our bikes, and we’d advise any traveler not to miss out on this friendly neighborhood where the locals hang out. Santa Monica is also a haven for foodies. It offers endless choices, from funky coffeehouses to fine dining and quick and casual. We decided to check out a guided food tour called A Taste of Santa Monica. Annie Breheny of Destination Food Tours led us on a three-hour adventure of the city’s fabulous culinary scene — a great way to experience some of Santa Monica’s wonderful eateries. Our tour group consisted of about a dozen people, with an interesting mix of both locals and tourists. During our tour, we stopped at six places and as we walked to each restaurant, Annie told us all about Santa Monica’s history. While we won’t give away any of the tour’s trade secrets, we will tell you the truffle burger at Fraiche on Wilshire Boulevard is worth every bite. The burger is served with an onion fondue, boschetto al tartufo (truffle cheese) and truffle aioli on a grilled brioche bun. The burger is

rich in flavor and melts in your mouth. For those of you who have a sweet tooth, N’ice Cream is a great spot at The Market at Santa Monica Place, an upscale shopping mall located at the south end of the famous Third Street Promenade. Annie said we could choose any flavor, which was a tough task, but in the end we went for the salted caramel and vanilla bean. Both did not disappoint. Later that evening, we checked out Blue Plate Taco, a fun, hip restaurant serving coastal Mexican cuisine. Although we were still

full from our earlier food tour, we heard rave reviews about their fresh guacamole and tasty tacos. How could we pass it up? It was a perfect spot to end our actionpacked day. As we headed back to our room and walked out onto our balcony, we couldn’t help but take in the view. While the view was fantastic by day, it was even better at night. We are definitely coming back. — Marc and Darlynne Menkin are the co-owners of Where You Want To Be Tours.

LOANS, LOANS, LOANS… SO MANY LENDERS TO CHOOSE FROM Over the last 25 years and thousands of loans, the question always comes up for me, “why should I use you for my real estate financing?” Three items of significance; Product, Pricing and Performance… with the emphasis on Performance! It’s quite obvious that a lender needs to have a valuable product with competitive pricing. But there is another component that many people ignore and in my opinion this can be more important than the first two, performance. The ability to effectively manage and control the loan application from start to finish, with minimal challenges and maximum communication. It is extremely important that you have an individual handling your loan that has product knowledge, the ability to foresee potential challenges in advance, and the competency to move your loan through the system as quickly as possible. Having these qualities can make the difference for a smooth and successful closing versus a nightmare of an ordeal.
