Scripps Institute chief Marletta to step down amid anger over merger proposal

MIDSUMMER COOL-DOWN As we bake in 90-degree temperatures around here, Tom Mangelsen seems comfortable in climates that don't normally see those highs. The iconic wildlife photographer, who took this shot during a trip to Antarctica, is celebrating his 40th year in business and opened La Jolla's Mangelsen Images of Nature Gallery in 1991. Mangelsen, who lives outside Yellowstone National Park, will be in La Jolla in September for a book signing.

Passage of minimum-wage law raises pros and cons By DAVE SCHWAB

Ordinance group OK's Boffo theater design plans, George's terrace expansion, cites eatery's special uses

By DAVE SCHWAB The La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Committee gave two big thumbs up to Boffo Cinemas’ preliminary design plans for its remodel/addition of the former Jonathan’s Market site at the committee's monthly meeting July 14.

The committee, which makes recommendations and rules governing commercial development to the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), also conditionally approved an expansion of George's Ocean View Terrace. But planners expressed concern about the restaurant’s substantial number of nonconforming uses.

Earlier this year, Boffo Cinemas signed a 20-year lease with Jonathan’s Market to transform the retail space at 7611 Fay Ave. from a high-end produce market into a premium multiplex theater.

“It’s pretty rundown and is also not code-compliant in many cases,” said Adolfo Fastlicht of Boffo about the old Jonathan’s building. He added the Jonathan’s space will be converted into a premium theater “with soft colors, light grays and beiges.

UCSD, Scripps hospitals again rank among nation's best in annual assessment by U.S. News and World Report The UCSD Health System remains among the nation’s best, according to U.S. News & World Report magazine’s 2014-15 issue of “America’s Best Hospitals.”

The magazine’s 25th annual findings placed the system first in the San Diego metropolitan area and fifth in California, with national rankings in 11 specialties, up from ten last year.

In a related development, the magazine recognized Scripps Memorial in La Jolla for its work in eight specialties. It ranked the facility No. 18 in cardiology and listed it in the fields of pulmonology, endocrinology and otolaryngology. The hospital lost its ranking in urology.

Meanwhile, the Scripps Hospital proton therapy center in Mira Mesa, of which La Jolla's Rady Children's Hospital is a part, is currently ranked 15th in the

United States and fourth west of the Rocky Mountains.

“These rankings are a reaffirmation of our standing as the top health system locally and one of the premier, high-performing health systems nationally,” said Paul Viviano, UCSD Health System CEO. “This recognition is further evidence of our tireless dedication to our mission to provide the best possible patient care by tapping an extraordinarily talented group of physicians, nurses and staff and the discovery-driven resources of the region’s only academic health system. Our goal, first and foremost, is to provide unrivaled care that is personalized to the needs of each and every patient,” he said.

For 2014-15, U.S. News evaluated hospitals in 16 adult specialties and ranked the top 50 in most

of the specialties. Just 3 percent of the nearly 5,000 hospitals analyzed for Best Hospitals 2014-15 earned national ranking in even one specialty.

UCSD Health System ranked in cancer (#25 in the country in this specialty, up from #42 in 201314), cardiology and heart surgery (#23, up from #42), otolaryngology (#22, up from #48), geriatrics (#19, up from #20), nephrology/kidney (#15, up from #17), neurology and neurosurgery (#25, up from #42), urology (#16, up from #22), pulmonology (#6, up from #9), diabetes and endocrinology (#32), gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery (#31), and orthopedics (#44). Gynecology and rheumatology were ranked “high-performing.”

The doctors of UCSD Health System are also faculty of the

UCSD School of Medicine, which is ranked 14th in the country in research-intensive programs among 128 medical schools in U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Graduate Schools, 2015 Edition.”

The data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. In 2016, UC San Diego Health System will open Jacobs Medical Center, the largest new hospital project in southern California.

The 10-story, 509,500-squarefoot expansion of UCSD Health System’s La Jolla campus will contain three specialty hospitals: the Pauline and Stanley Foster Hospital for Cancer Care, the Hospital for Advanced Surgery and the Hospital for Women and Infants.

NEWSBRIEFS >> DA's Office sets deadline for Citizens' Academy class The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office announced it will hold its popular Citizens' Academy starting in September on the University of San Diego campus and asks those interested to apply by Monday, Aug. 11.

The ten-week academy is a free course, taught in partnership with the San Diego County Sheriff ’s Department, that demystifies the criminal justice system and the workings of the District Attorney's Office.

Speakers from the DA’s office, sheriff ’s department and public safety partners will discuss topics ranging from homicide to prosecuting economic crimes. Prosecutors and deputies will also cover gangs and narcotics, the Computer and Technology Crime High-Tech Response Team, elder abuse, human trafficking and officer-involved shootings.

The course includes a behind-thescenes tour of the county’s medical examiner’s facility.

“We started this program several years ago, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive,” county District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said. “It’s a unique opportunity for people to meet some of the dedicated prosecutors in our office and get an inside look at what we do.”

The academy begins Thursday, Sept. 11, and ends Thursday, Nov. 13.

Classes will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Joan Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice on the University of San Diego campus.

More information and the required application are available at sdcda.org.office/citizensacademy.

Pro-Israel, Palestine protesters demonstrate in University City More than 700 people sang and cheered on July 20 during a rally at University City's Doyle Community Park aimed at strengthening support for Israel as violence escalates there.

Nearby, in the same park, some 40 people staged a counter-rally during which they described Israel’s latest combat missions in Gaza as war crimes.

The scene was secured by eight police officers and a private security team hired by the Jewish Federation of San Diego County, which sponsored the pro-Israel rally. Police said demonstrators on both sides were cooperative and peaceful.

That gathering included several leaders of the local Jewish community and some elected officials.

“I stand with Israel,” San Diego Rep. Scott Peters reportedly said of the demonstration, “and San Diego stands with Israel. Israel has not only the right to defend itself but the obligation to defend itself and its children.”

News Sentencing of four delayed in pistol-whip robberies Four men who participated in the pistol-whip series of robberies on Regents Road near UCSD and elsewhere had their sentencing delayed July 11 until Sept. 19.

The series was noted for four victims being hit over the head with a gun and other victims being ordered at gunpoint to lie on the ground while their personal items such as wallets and cell phones were taken.

The four men pleaded guilty to all charges of robbery, conspiracy and receiving stolen property in nine incidents in which 14 people were accost-

ed. Not every defendant participated in each hold-up. One or two robbers approached victims in a series or robberies that began March 30, 2013 and ended with the arrests on April 12, 2013.

Michael McGinnis, 19, Joseph Ragland, 27, Jamarious Porche, 24, and Askia Muhamad Toure, 21, face prison terms ranging from 18 months to 15 years. They all remain in jail on $500,000 bail.

One victim from City Heights appeared in court July 11, and San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeff Fraser

offered him a chance to read a statement, but he said he would do it when they are sentenced on Sept. 19.

A man and a woman were held up at 7600 Regents Road on April 9, 2013 and were robbed of a backpack, a cellphone and other items.

Other victims were robbed near San Diego State University, Rolando, University Heights and Mission Village.

One victim lost a computer and another an iPod, but most of the property was recovered by San Diego police.

Two plead guilty in bank-fraud ploy Two people have pleaded guilty to federal charges involving a $1.8 million fraudulent loan that was made by La Jolla Bank before it went out of business in 2010.

Annand Sliuman, 33, of Spring Valley, has pleaded guilty to bank bribery involving a loan to his business that was made by La Jolla Bank in May 2008. Sliuman will be sentenced Sept. 26.

Laura Ortuondo, 33, of Cupertino, pleaded guilty to making a false statement to a federal agent about her role in obtaining the loan for Sliuman, for whom she worked at the time. She will be sentenced Sept. 12.

California's death penalty unconstitutional, judge rules The federal judge who ruled California's death penalty unconstitutional said the system leaves inmates with uncertain fates, perhaps in violation of the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.

On July 17, Santa Ana Judge Cormac Carney vacated the 1995 death sentence of Ernest Jones, who had asked the court to decide whether his sentence was valid. No executions can proceed in California while the decision stands, although the deci-

sion will likely be appealed. Jones had been found guilty of the rape and murder of his girlfriend's mother.

California has 748 people on Death Row, the highest number of any state. Since 1978, more than 900 people have been sentenced to death. Thirteen have been executed, while 94 have died of other causes.

About 350 have been on death row longer than 19 years.

Matt Cherry, executive director of Death Penalty Focus, said the law in California needs to be changed.

“Justice requires that we end this charade once and for all," Cherry said in a published report. "It's time to replace California's broken death penalty with life in prison without the possibility of parole. That's the best way to ensure that convicted killers remain behind bars until they die, without wasting tens of millions of tax dollars every year on needless appeals.”

The state placed a moratorium on death sentences in 2006. The state attorney general's office is said to be reviewing Carney's decision.

vision of the future of Scripps and those of the faculty “no longer align.”

Marletta later said in a published report that further discussions to address the conflict are imminent. “As we move forward, representatives from the faculty, administration, and board are coming together to thoughtfully review a range of options for the institute’s future,” he said.

Marletta, a chemist by trade, served as chair of the chemistry department at the University of California, Berkeley.

Scripps, a private research organi-

zation with campuses in La Jolla and Jupiter, Fla., had a 2012 operating budget of $400 million. It relies mostly on grants and, to a lesser extent, philanthropic donations for its funding. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded 86 percent of the institute's revenue in 2013.

Meanwhile, competition for NIH funding has increased as the federal agency’s budget has hit a downturn, and Scripps hasn't established a track record of private fund solicitation.

The nonprofit Scripps is projecting a $21 million deficit for the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

Meanwhile, USC began a $6 billion general fundraising campaign a few years ago.

News Rankings center says UCSD is world's 20th top school The Center for the World University Rankings (CWUR), a Saudi firm that measures universities’ quality of research, faculty, influence, enterprise and successful alumni, has ranked UCSD the 20th best university in the world.

The third annual global ranking also listed UCSD as the 15th best university in the United States and the nation’s third best public university. In the category of “influence,” which measures the number of research papers appearing in influential journals, UCSD was named the fifth best university in the world.

“UC San Diego’s faculty, staff, students and alumni have been influencing and contributing to our community and world through our research and education since our founding,” said UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla. “We are proud to be recognized as one of the world’s top public universities, and we will

continue to advance the frontiers of knowledge and transform lives.”

The methodology for the rankings, which included 2,000 universities, is based on eight indicators.

According to CWUR, the rankings are distinctive because they do not rely on opinion-based surveys but rather take a transparent and quantitative approach through measuring the following: Influence, measured by the number of research papers appearing in highly-influential journals; Quality of faculty members, measured by the number of academics who have won major international awards, prizes and medals; Publications, measured by the number of research papers appearing in reputable international journals; Citations, measured by the number of highly cited research papers; Patents, measured by the number

of international patent filings; Alumni employment, measured by the number of a university’s alumni who currently hold CEO positions at the world’s top 2,000 public companies relative to the university’s size; Quality of education, measured by the number of a university’s alumni who have won major international awards, prizes and medals relative to the university’s size; and Broad impact, measured by both the productivity and the impact of published work.

Universities were ranked in each of these categories, and their combined totals equate to the individual college’s overall global ranking.

UCSD earned its highest mark in the categories of influence (fifth), and its placed 32nd in quality of education.

The complete list of the world’s top 100 universities and its methodology can be found at cwur.org.

San Diego Foundation names new president The San Diego Foundation board of governors has announced that Kathlyn Mead, former chief operating officer of The California Endowment, has been selected as the foundation's president and chief executive officer.

Current foundation president and CEO Bob Kelly will retire this year after 20 years of service.

“Throughout her 20-year career as a senior executive in the healthcare industry managing large and complex organizations, Kathlyn has developed hands-on foundation and philanthropy expertise,” board of governors chair Steve Smith said.

“She brings to the foundation a deep understanding of the needs of donors as well as the challenges fac-

ing low-income communities. Kathlyn has raised funds at the multimillion-dollar scale and has built major collaborations between for-profit, nonprofit and public/governmental entities. These are vital skills in addressing the challenges and needs community members identified during the CEO search process.”

The foundation maintains a branch in La Jolla.

In January 2014, executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates was appointed to assist the board search committee. The board conducted a community listening tour, holding more than 20 meetings across the San Diego region and engaging more than 350 community members who shared ideas about the future of the foundation and desired qualities for the new CEO. The Escondido resident “is an extremely bright, innovative and energetic leader who is deeply connected to San Diego,” remarked board of governors interview committee member Constance Carroll, chancellor of the San Diego Community College District. “She is an excellent communicator who will build on the tremendous success of the foundation and bring new focus and resources to Foundation programs, donors and volunteers.”

Mead previously held positions as CEO of the Council of Community Clinics in San Diego, vice president of CalPERS sector for Blue Shield of California, president and CEO of Sharp Health Plan in San Diego and vice president of managed care at the Children’s Hospital in San Diego.

She was recently appointed by Governor Brown to the Agricultural Association/San Diego Fair Board of Directors and serves as trustee and vice-chair for the Alliance Healthcare Foundation and trustee for the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science.

Level 1 water-conservation alert in force as city's drought woes continue

By DAVE SCHWAB After three successive years of drought, the city has issued a Level 1 alert calling for citizens to voluntarily participate in water conservation measures, including not watering lawns more than three days a week and watering lawns or washing vehicles only before 10 a.m. or after 6 p.m. during summer months.

“The cheapest gallon of water is the one you don’t use,” said council president pro tem Sherri Lightner, of District 1, who added she’s “proud to see San Diegans stepping up their water-saving practices to help address our drought conditions and long-term supply needs head-on.”

“We need to do everything necessary to deal with drought and water supply conditions,” said Lightner, adding, “Mandatory conservation could become the new standard in our efforts to secure an adequate water supply.”

To achieve an affordable, sustainable local water supply, Lightner said San Diego will need to use all the tools available including conservation, desalination, recycling and reuse.

Lightner said it’s her goal to use these tools to meet our local water needs and “to have enough surplus to sell to other water-thirsty regions."

The state of California is mired in a long-term drought, and San Diego is no exception. Noting San Diego’s annual rainfall average at Lindbergh Field is 10.34 inches, National Weather Service forecaster Jimmy Taeger said the rainfall amount for

2013-14, which ended June 30, was 5.06 inches. Taeger said rainfall levels the previous year was 6.51 inches and 8.03 inches the year before that. Taeger said you have to go back to 2010-11 to find the last year when rainfall was at or above normal. 12.62 inches fell that year.

Recent changes to the city's Emergency Water Regulations have established new restrictions on water use as well as stepping up enforcement and penalties.

All water waste is prohibited in the San Diego municipal code.

Wasting water is illegal at all times, even when no drought response levels are in effect. Any violations of the water use restrictions associated with drought response levels are also treated as water waste.

The city may penalize those who continue to waste water with an escalating series of penalties up to and including shutting off water service. When customers continue to

waste water after being contacted by the Public Utilities Department's conservation staff, the City's code enforcement section can step in.

Should a customer refuse to stop overwatering, fail to repair a leak or continue other water waste, the code enforcement officer or water waste investigator will fashion an appropriate response.

Code enforcement officers have a variety of remedies to help ensure compliance, including issuance of a warning letter, administrative citations ranging from $100 to $1,000, civil penalties up to $2,500 per day for violations, referral to the city attorney for civil or criminal prosecution and shutoff of water service.

On July 15, California’s Water Resources Control Board voted to impose mandatory water use restrictions statewide in response to California’s ongoing drought. For the city of San Diego, however, permanent mandatory water use restric-

tions in place since 2009 already meet elements of the requirements mandated by the state.

As a result, the state’s regulation does not require the city of San Diego to make changes to its emergency water regulations but should serve as a reminder to all San Diegans that using water efficiently, and in compliance with the City’s current water use restrictions, are important to help conserve water during this severe drought condition.

“I want to thank San Diegans, who for years have done a tremendous job of stepping up to the plate to incorporate water conservation into their way of life,” said Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “This summer, as we see temperatures climb, we must continue to be mindful of the current drought situation by adhering daily to the city’s permanent water use restrictions.”

The city will continue to review

the state’s decision and monitor the drought conditions throughout the state to determine if any changes to its drought response level are necessary. In the meantime, the city’s focus will be to reduce water waste by educating residents on how to comply with the restrictions through education, rather than an enhanced enforcement system focused on fines.

Meanwhile, the city recommends a few methods for water conservation: • Check faucets, pipes and toilets for leaks; • Plant drought-resistant lawns, shrubs and plants; • Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants; • Water during early parts of the day; • Don’t run the hose while washing your car; and • Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks.

UCSD’s embattled Ché Café is far more than an indie rock venue Editor's note: A preliminary-injunction hearing on the fate of UCSD's Ché Café arts/entertainment venue is scheduled for Aug. 1. If the Ché prevails, it will remain in operation until a final settlement is reached on the breach of contract matter that fuels the latest in an ongoing series of flaps over the facility's future. Below is a response by San Diegan Dirk Sutro to our June 27 editorial that advocated the Ché's permanent closure.

Your “opinion” piece against the Ché Café [La Jolla Village News, June 27] is disappointing and misguided.

It is clear that you do not appreciate the importance of the Ché Café as part of San Diego’s and UCSD’s historical/urban/cultural fabric. To say that it is a “poor man’s Student Union” and to cite a few past performances by indie rock bands as a key part of its importance is to completely ignore the many important reasons why it should be preserved.

Yes, the building is run down.

However, there is no other independent, edgy, rootsy location/hub for UCSD students. The Price Student Center is a very nice place, but opportunities for a variety of student performances there do not meet demand, particularly for sitespecific dance, performance art and multimedia events.

The murals at the Ché are an

essential part of the venue's history and ongoing value. This art is much more significant than the venue’s relevance as an indie rock venue. They depict Chicano history, and they were painted by prominent artist and activist Mario Torero — who also did murals in [San Diego's] Barrio Logan. In a city where Chicano culture is barely represented, the murals are essential. Torero’s San Diego art is on the order of importance of historical (white) San Diego artists like Alfred Mitchell and Charles Reiffel. I am certain that if Torero were a member of the white/Euro art mainstream, UCSD and community leaders would be bending over backwards to preserve the Ché and Torero's murals.

When Marshall College was founded at UCSD in the 1970s, its central mission was to add multicultural curriculum and identity to campus. Unfortunately, that mission was partially subverted by naming it after Thurgood Marshall instead of after a revolutionary figure; by low-budget buildings that do not meet UCSD’s generally high standard of design and materials; and by a lack of the institutional will necessary to sustain a significant multicultural mission. $700,000 is a drop in the bucket in the overall UCSD budget.

Many recent new buildings on campus cost $30 million or $50 million or more. In other budgetary spending categories, for line items that do not seem very significant, the amounts are much more than $700,000. UC Berkeley’s football coach is paid about $2 million per year. Total revenue for UCSD in 2012-13 was estimated at $3.44 billion. Expenditure for Student Services was $85 million.

The Ché occupies one of the few remaining buildings from the days

when the UCSD campus was Camp Matthews, a Marine base. As such, it represents the kinds of modest and functional buildings that were the predominant centers for education in the campus’ early years. I suggest you Google ‘Camp Matthews’ to get a better idea.

These old and unpretentious buildings illustrate how an important university is often born with innovation and creativity, not with fancy architecture. A few UCSD faculty were here in the late '60s, and

they fondly recall those days of creating a new university from scratch on the West Coast, in a setting very different from the East Coast Ivy League.

I really don’t understand your motivation for advocating a teardown of the Ché, but you omit many vital facts, and your arguments seem to be based on your personal experiences and biases rather than an informed view of the Ché’s importance to UCSD and San Diego culture and history.

We also have several new members including: Phenix Salon Suites, Family Auto Service, Heath Gallery, Village Gifts & Engravings, and Value Strategies Inc. Our next mixer will be held at Phenix Salon Suites on July 30th from 5:00 - 7:00PM. Tours will be offered and refreshments will be served.

The Chamber thanks them for their generosity.

1970 will go down in San Diego lore as the year that featured not one Comic-Con event but two. The inaugural parley, held March 21, was only meant to raise funds and possibly bump up interest for a future convention – but somehow, the idea took hold immediately, and the minicon morphed into a three-day gala that August, with 300 attending discussion groups and film screenings and featuring sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury as a guest.

The rest is history, of course. San Diego's Comic-Con International is the model for every popular-arts festival of its kind worldwide, with more than 130,000 attending a colossal slate of interviews, films, awards ceremonies and panel talks and generating about $160 million into the local economy over its single weekend. This year's edition opened with a preview night on July 23 and runs through Sunday, July 27, with most events taking place in the vicinity of the San Diego Convention Center downtown.

Among the favorite events is the Masquerade Awards competition, in which the entrants run with their imaginations in designing their escapist sartorials. Among last year's winners were Hannah Black (pictured) as a Femme Doctor of Dr. Who fame; Black designed the garb, and her ascot and parasol were painted by Jarrnell Williams (photo by Daniel Sakow).

The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club opened its 75th horse racing season July 17 to a crowd of more than 42,000, who wagered a total of nearly $15 million. The crowd arrived in ‘dressed to impress’ attire.

This is one of the largest fashion events of the year, with the emphasis always on hats and horses. Racegoers wore a variety of fare: Cindy Warwick looked lovely In a Nigel Rayment Couture hat, Kristi Pieper in Eric Javits; Sandra Maas and Andrea Naversen in Carol Bader; Suzy Westphal in Jill Coartemanche; and Lisa Marks in Lisa Marks.

Dining With its new brunch menu, Amici's is quickly coming into its own By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN Market your comfort-food product as a state of mind whose time has come, and results will eventually follow. Starbucks did it with something as nondescript as coffee and snacks, and today, it has franchises all over the universe and beyond. Melt Down is locking into its share of the marketplace with its obsession over the once-lowly grilled cheese sandwich, of which it now serves untold varieties (you can only get 'em in Pennsylvania so far, but that'll change).

Portland, Ore.'s PBJ won't hear of stopping until your peanut butter and jelly sammie tastes like mom's.

Amici's East Coast Pizzeria has exactly the right idea. A clutch of East Coast transplants started exploiting their take on the applied and fine art of the pizza 27 years ago in Northern California (the firm is headquartered in San Mateo); their hard-won concept, centered around centuries-old brick-oven bakery methods, found its way into the La Jolla marketplace in May of 2012. A Hillcrest location would follow a year later, with both venues fixating on the crusts – “crispy, airy and slightly chewy,” the way the East Coast takes its pizza, thank-you-very-much, and the centerpiece of this fixture in American culture.

end brunch menu, in force between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays at the La Jolla and Hillcrest locations. The roster sports a breakfast sandwich featuring herbed ricotta and lemon-dressed baby arugula and topped with a fresh organic farm egg. Oddly enough, several brunchspecific pizzas are on tap too – The Classic, with its fresh basil, cherry tomatoes and bacon or sausage; The Western, touting honey-cured ham, diced green peppers and red onions; The Mediterranean, featuring roasted Yukon Gold potatoes, baby spinach, roasted red bell peppers, feta

cheese and fresh basil; and Il Cavolo Pollo, which includes a chicken breast, shredded lacinato kale, cherry tomatoes, parmesan, olive oil and fresh basil.

Amici’s will also offer what it calls its Sparkling Specials during brunch – a glass of Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs wine or a Ferrer mimosa.

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.

You can also create your own pizza amid an exhaustive selection of toppings — and on brunch days, you're invited to try the Pizzarito, which involves pizza dough wrapped into a burrito skin with sauce and toppings inside it all. And remember that Amici's has fueled its reputation

on its salads, too, which hints it's an ideal place for lighter fare.

Coffee, grilled cheese sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly, pizza; take away the marketing strategies, and they're all pretty much unheralded staples.

Amici's East Coast Pizzeria cheerfully invites your comparisons about the latter, confident that after your first meal, the marketing will take care of itself.

Using failures constructively Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. Kill the messenger! In the old days, the bearer of bad news had his head chopped off. It isn’t much better today. We have a tendency to get upset with whoever brings us news we don’t want to hear. We vent our anger or frustration on that person even if it is not his or her fault.

It is no wonder that most people do not want to tell their superiors when something has gone wrong. Often, the problem could be lessened if caught early enough, so it is critical for those in charge to be in touch with the reality of the situation when they are responsible for the outcome.

There are errors that could have been prevented with some foresight. These preventable blunders or missteps are due to one of two factors: ignorance or neglect.

Either the person did not have the knowledge, competence or skill to prevent the error, or the person did not pay attention, dele-

Health BRIEFS >> Health scams abound Health scams have been around forever but it seems that there are more ways than ever to advertise miracle cures and “magic potions” with the Internet and emails bombarding us. A lot target diseases that have no cures such as diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer’s and the older person is the one that suffers most often with these diseases. You may see ads for: Anti-aging medications. Aging is normal and as of this time, no treatment has been proven to reverse the aging process.

Eating right, getting exercise and not smoking give you the best chance of aging well.

Arthritis cures. Symptoms of arthritis come and go so cures with a product are unlikely. If you think you want to begin a new treatment, discuss it with your doctor first.

Cancer cures. Cancer is frightening so scammers prey on that fear. There is no one treatment that can cure every type of cancer. Delaying conventional treatment may cause you to lose valuable time.

Memory aids. Many of us worry about forgetting things or losing our memory as we age. Many ads promise to keep or improve your memory with “smart” pills or removal of amalgam dental fillings.

These are untested approaches and the buyer must be cautious.

Dietary supplements. Most dietary supplements do not undergo government testing before they go on the market. While some may be helpful, they may also interact with certain medicines and become dangerous. Be cautious of supplements that say they shrink tumors,

gated without following up or just didn’t care. If the deficiency is in knowledge or competence, the person must either be trained or not given assignments that are too demanding. If the error is due to neglect, then it’s time to problem-solve together to find ways of preventing recurrences.

There are several steps to follow when receiving bad news: 1) Commend the person for coming in to talk about a difficult issue.

2) Identify the cause or causes of the problem. It is important to not blame someone too quickly, as the tendency is to search for a scapegoat.

3) Discuss how the problem could have been prevented in order to avoid a recurrence.

4) Estimate the possible consequences.

5) Find the best means to deal with those consequences.

6) Establish a monitoring system to prevent other errors from occurring.

In most businesses, there is a general tendency to forecast better results than is realistic. Then, when the poorer results come in, expectations are dashed and everyone is upset. Realizing this tendency, it is important to forecast more realistically, thus pro-

tecting oneself from disappointment.

Just as it is important for managers to know how to receive bad news, it is as important for employees to know how to give it.

Get all the facts: the causes of the mistake, what was done or not done to prevent it from happening and what can be done now.

Don’t just dump the problem on the manager’s desk; be prepared to suggest solutions. If it is your fault, admit it. If it isn’t, either say whose fault it is or focus on the resolution and future prevention.

We all make errors. A person who never makes a mistake is a person who does not initiate, who is not a risk taker. In an atmosphere where errors are tolerated as part of the learning and testing process, people will not be afraid to take a chance at being creative.

People should be encouraged to offer new ideas, to try different ways of doing things. Brainstorming sessions, where there is no such thing as a stupid idea, help people conquer their hesitancy to divulge their thoughts.

ment 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

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.

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.

encouraged and people are afraid of negative repercussions. Or worse, mistakes are being made and then hidden. People become afraid to talk straight, afraid to admit errors. And when secrecy becomes the norm, problems languish unsolved and systems and policies that promote errors continue.

And then there are those mistakes that can prove to be lethal, such as a faulty piece of equipment or a medical misdiagnosis. If unreported, they can continue to wreak havoc.

Whistle-blowing has had its negative repercussions. When to take a risk is a personal decision between opting for the good of humanity in some cases and the loss of one’s job.

There are also differences in one’s tolerance for making mistakes. Some people beat themselves up and won’t let go; others just shrug their shoulders and go on without altering their behavior to avoid the mistake in the future. Most people learn from their mistakes.

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. 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.

A failure should be an experience that helps us learn and grow. The way to avoid future mistakes is to have not only the courage to face the consequences of admitting your errors but also to encourage the open communication that will create an environment where it is comfortable for everyone to do so.

FRIDAY · JULY 25, 2014 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Brave New World: Sports travel clubs are the young athlete's boon (and bane) Back in the day, the young athlete had it relatively simple: Play for the school sports team or play Little League baseball, Pony League and Colt League. There might be a batting cage in town, and there might not be, for organized team trips to visit. Soccer isn’t yet established and is a minor influence in the American youth sports world.

Fast-forward to the modern era of heightened attention on sports in general in our culture, with its ESPN 24-hour news cycle. Young people can now get a highlight disk of their best plays custom-made for college recruiters. Parents may hire a personal trainer for their child to improve individual skills in the sport of their choice. Recruiting starts early, jet-propelled by the Internet and electronic communications.

Welcome to the Brave New World that young athletes and their parents already know and have been negotiating at least since the 1990s. The Holy Grail? Landing a full-ride athletic scholarship on a Division I college team. And for the .01 of 1 percent who make it: the pros.

Enter the travel team competition, pitting young athletes against visiting organizations that bring unfamiliar names and situations to the events and, with them, the opportunity to underscore success.

Class Schedule Children Age 4-6

4:15 to 5:00 Mon. - Fri. Children Age 7 and Up 5:00 to 6:00 Mon. - Fri. Kids Sr. Red/Black Belts or Teens 6:15 - 7:15 Wednesdays All Classes subject to change.

Joe Palatella, La Jolla High School’s All-CIF volleyball hitterblocker, sees the blue skies of travel team competition and highly skilled coaching that have accompanied his skill development by leaps and bounds since his freshman year.

“Since the Mizuno 18-1’s Coast Darrel team is so talented,” Palatella texted, referring to his club team, “we would be playing on the top courts, playing the best teams and getting all those reps. It’s a lot of work, but if you love volleyball and you want to get better, then it’s the way to go.”

Joe, a 6-foot, 5-inch leaper entering his senior year as a Viking, mentions USC, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia and Miami as colleges with talented volleyball teams he would love to play for next year.

Surely, he would be the first as well to talk about the enjoyment and success he has experienced on the La Jolla CIF Division III championship team in 2013 and the team’s march to the Division I semifinals in the recently completed 2014 season.

Across the La Jolla High campus, Riley Young, headed to LSU next month to play for the Lady Tigers, sharpened her skills playing for coach Dave Jones, who coaches both the boys and girls teams.

Young savored her fleeting times

with her classmates as a senior this spring and enjoyed social activities like the prom that are part of the school experience.

“I love how social activities are involved with school,” says Young, who leaves August 17 for Baton Rouge. “I like on the school team how close we all are.” Regarding her club experience, she comments, “A club team is good because you can pick the coach you want to play for. The competition is much better than high school is. It’s different

not having it tied to campus, because you’re playing with girls all around the county versus with the girls you go to school with.”

Jurgen Klinsmann, coach of the U.S. men’s soccer team that brought cheers in the just-completed World Cup, complained that American athletes lose the opportunity for full-time concentration on their sport by attending college and combining studies with play.

Athletes from his native Germany and other countries across the world can enter a sports academy at a young age, with their parents’ blessing (or pushing), and begin to receive professional coaching with an eye toward the pros. Witness Barcelona soccer and Lionel Messi, an Argentinian who transplanted himself halfway across the world and is now a three-time Ballon d’Or (Ball of Gold) winner, emblematic of the best player in the world.

Coach Paul Baranowski, varsity head coach of the La Jolla High boys basketball team, sees both sides of the road. Baranowski, with 20-plus years' coaching, has also directed travel teams.

“I have mixed feelings about the inherent conflict which exists for players,” the Viking coach says.

Sometimes players have to choose to play for the school team or a club team only. CIF recently reaffirmed by vote its rule against an athlete playing for a club team concurrent with the high school season. Club soccer teams have ongoing competition year-round. Some travel squads don’t allow team members to play for their high school teams.

Baranowski cited the value of travel teams in the interest of an individual player's improvement.

But he cautioned that families should gain information about coaches before signing up.

“My preference,” says the thirdyear La Jolla head coach, “is that high school players prioritize school team commitments ahead of club participation.”

Jones, the Viking volleyball coach, is also a classroom teacher.

Contacted during his teaching day in summer school, he voiced some strong opinions about travel clubs and non-teacher coaches in general.

“I think there’s a huge difference between (club and school teams),” Jones said. “The biggest difference I see are the intangibles that are taught in school, versus on the club teams. When you look at attitude and leadership (being emphasized), those things come in as factors on club teams, but not as much.”

Jones talked about the fact high school athletes carry out their activities in a school setting, with accompanying support and accountability. “Wherever you go or whatever you do, you’re representing La Jolla High,” he said. “On the other hand, when you’re playing for a CIF championship, you have the support of your whole school.”

Baranowski and Jones agree that athletes are told they need to participate in regional and national travel competition because of exposure they will receive to college recruiters.

Regarding walk-on coaches who are not classroom teachers, Jones reserved his strongest opinions.

“I don’t think it’s good to have walk-on coaches in high schools,” he said. “They don’t have the pedagogy... the understanding how to work with the students. I’ll give you an example. I’m teaching summer school at Clairemont High. I looked on their website, and 80 percent of their coaches are teachers. I’d say it’s more like 15 percent at La Jolla High.”

Jones said the valuable contribution club coaches bring is highquality instruction in individual skills, a fact that he tries to take advantage of by inviting club coaches in to teach his team members.

Well, it is officially summer, and you know what that means, right? I'm not talking about the longer days and warmer evenings. Not even thinking about the crowds and lack of easy parking anywhere within a mile of the beach.

Smaller surf and less of it? Nope.

I'm talking about stingrays. The gremlins of the ocean who always appear right around now as the tides drop out to negative lows and water temps climb up into the low 70s. These creatures are nasty, and it has already been near an epidemic year for people getting stung by them.

Beach breaks are the most likely place to run into them, but sand pockets in the reefs can harbor these little land mines as well. Though the wound that they inflict is usually just a small laceration, the pain can be a very serious thing to deal with. On rare occasions, the stingray’s barb can actually break off inside of the victim’s body, so great care must be taken to make sure none of this foreign matter is left in the wound.

Treatment for a wound is somewhat limited. It normally consists of putting the damaged area into water as hot as can be tolerated, then adding hot water at regular intervals. I have been told that the poison from the barb is protein based. Down in Mexico, the locals will squeeze lemon juice into the affected area as a way to help

neutralize the nasty stuff.

Some people can handle the pain better than others, just as some wounds are worse than others. My experiences with being stung have been somewhat lucky, I'd say. The initial sensation was a quick prick and a burning sensation. As the body starts to react to the venom, I felt that burn grow quickly in intensity and start to spread up my leg. Even with a hotwater soaking, the pain remained steady for nearly three hours. The affected area remained sensitive to the touch or occasional rub for a few weeks after the incident.

In 50-plus years of ocean enjoyment, I have only been hit two times.

But that’s still more than enough to remind me to stay vigilant at any time of the year while walking out to surf.

I shuffle my feet as much as possible.

I know a few guys who will slap at the top of the water in an effort to scare the critters away. How effective this can be is unknown.

In any event, walk soft and slow,

If it’s summer, this must be basil To me, basil is synonymous with summer – and even though you can find it year-round in the market today, it just doesn't have the same flavor during the rest of the year. There is nothing on a warm summer night like a beautiful Caprese salad, made with fragrant basil from the garden, heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, a splash of balsamic vinegar and the best extra-virgin olive oil you can find.

A member of the mint family, basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a hearty culinary herb that is easy to grow and will thrive in your garden and in containers. Besides its wonderful flavor, it is also known to have strong antioxidant and antiviral properties. Basil likes well-drained soil or containers that drain well and at least six hours of sunshine a day. If you have a warm, sunny place indoors, you can grow it inside, but I feel the indoor product doesn't yield as good a flavor. A month-

ly feeding of balanced organic fertilizer will keep your plants thriving and producing during the warm months. Since I use basil so frequently during the summer, I find I need to replace my plants every couple months.

Most basil plants are annual, but a few, such as African blue basil, are perennial in our mild climate. These plants have beautiful lavender blue flowers, and I grow them in my flower garden for the

flowers and the scent, but I do not eat them, because the flavor is much too strong for my taste.

I prefer sweet basil (Genovese), commonly used in Italian cuisine, and Thai basil that complements Asian dishes. Genovese basil is sweet, with a light licorice flavor, and Thai basil has cinnamon/clove undertones.

There are more than 60 varieties of basil, and some that can be found at most nurseries include

The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) invites public comment on a supplemental environmental document for the Mid-Coast Trolley extension project that evaluates a previously unidentified impact on San Diego fairy shrimp, a federally listed endangered species.

cinnamon, opal, lemon (that goes great with fish) and bush basil – an attractive small plant with tiny, slightly spicy leaves and a bushy, compact shape. If you plan ahead, you can find many different varieties in seed form. Basil seeds take seven to ten days to germinate and will mature in about two months.

Like most herbs, basil likes to be pruned — and as you cut it to add to your dishes, the plant will continue to grow and produce more flavorful leaves.

For the best flavor, cut off the leaves and some of the branches just as the plant begins to bud.

Make sure you cut off the flowers as they begin to form to ensure the formation of leaves instead of seeds.

Basil leaves bruise and discolor easily, so add them to your dishes at the very last moment. I find that tearing the leaves as opposed to chopping them helps to maintain the beautiful bright green color.

BOFFO >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

Fastlicht said the goal is to have the new theater complex, which will have seven screens and 363 seats, operational by the first quarter of 2015.

Boffo has also applied for a full liquor license.

“We bought the license from Zenbu across the street,” said Fastlicht. One operating condition, he added, is that the establishment is required to be primarily a restaurant, not a bar.

“I think it’s a great project and will be a wonderful addition to the Village,” said PDO committee member Deborah Marengo, who moved approval of the project’s design.

The design was endorsed by a 6-0 group vote.

La Jolla restaurateur George Hauer and architect Mark Steele detailed a proposal to expand the existing George’s Ocean View Terrace, at 1250 Prospect St., onto an adjacent existing roof. The proposal includes expanding the existing bar area, with additional bar and seating in an improved waiting area.

“It’s like a Japanese subway — people can’t move,” Hauer joked about his existing rooftop configuration. Hauer noted he’s revamp-

Basil Pesto My husband's summer favorite!

• 2 cups basil leaves, stems removed • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts • 2 garlic cloves, chopped • Zest from 1 lemon • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste • 1/2 to 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, as desired • 1 cup grated pecorino or parmesan cheese, divided In a food processor, process the basil, pine nuts, garlic and lemon zest. Slowly add the olive oil until it becomes emulsified. Pour into a bowl, stir in half the cheese and add salt and pepper as desired.

This is enough pesto for one pound of pasta. Serve the rest of the cheese on top of each serving and garnish with basil leaves.

ing the space not to expand it but to make it more comfortable and serviceable for customers.

The restaurateur added he had to undergo a historical review because the building dates back to 1962.

From the audience, longtime La Jollan Gail Forbes noted that equipment on the rooftop to which Hauer is expanding his restaurant can be seen and said it should be screened off from view as a condition of project approval.

PDO chair Ione Stiegler pointed out the rules require Hauer to have a “shared use” agreement to provide sufficient parking for his expansion. George’s employs valet service but does not presently have a shared-use parking agreement.

Given a suggestion that Hauer’s project ought to qualify to be “grandfathered in,” Stiegler asked, “What about all his other nonconforming uses in the building?,” to which Hauer quipped, “What’s one more?”

“We need to look at a fair and equitable application of the laws with George’s, and he needs a shared-parking agreement,” Stiegler said.

After debate, the PDO voted 6-0 in favor of George’s proposal pending the restaurant’s acquisition of a shared-parking agreement.

“There’s been a sad lack of critical reflection or moral responsibility among the American Jewish community,” he said.

The rallies ended after about an hour.

At the counter-rally, sponsored by the organization Jewish Voice for Peace, people reportedly carried signs saying “Jews Against Collective Punishment.”

ity. The survey also ranked California the top state in clean-tech activities.

San Diego ranks No. 2 in clean electricity and carbon management, fourth in advanced transportation and No. 6 in the categories of green buildings and clean-tech investment, innovation and work force.

Los Angeles ranked No. 7 on the overall list.

California leads the nation in clean tech for the fifth consecutive year, with Massachusetts and Oregon repeating their No. 2 and 3 rankings from the 2013 state index.

“Climate disruption and the growing availability of market-competitive clean-energy technologies are driving many states and cities to tackle climate issues head-on,” said Clean Edge founder and managing director Ron Pernick. “More than ever, this year’s leadership index highlights how some top regions are taking climate action seriously.”

can Mayor Jerry Sanders, have opposed the wage increase.

“I feel the deal we reached on minimum wage was a fair compromise,” concluded District 2 Councilman Ed Harris. “I’ve seen the research and data that points to the positive impacts of raising the minimum

wage and providing earned sick leave.

By paying a livable wage, we can help avoid paying higher social service costs, and by providing earned sick leave, we support higher employee productivity in the long term.

“I don’t know how people living in San Diego can make ends meet on $1,560 a month,” continued Harris, noting that “That’s what a fulltime minimum-wage earner makes at the current rate of $9 an hour.”

$9 an hour, the state's minimum wage law, went into effect July 1.

Supporters of the new minimum wage argue the pay increase helps the impoverished without hurting the local economy. Detractors counter that a higher minimum wage puts employers at a competitive disadvantage, causing them to hire fewer employees, thus hurting the segment of the population that the city is attempting to help.
