LIFEGUARD! THE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OF SAVING LIVES “Lifeguard! Southern California” showcases lifeguards on Southern California’s beaches as they take on rescue roles and law enforcement measures.

Lifeguards at odds: Is department getting a good deal for TV show? he Weather Channel’s airing of “Lifeguard! Southern California” may put a heroic spotlight on local lifeguards and showcase San Diego’s pristine beaches and great weather, but lifeguard union spokesman Ed Harris said there are a few downsides to the show that need to be addressed if another round of filming begins this summer.

From overzealous shark hype to distractions from real-life rescues, Harris said the impact of the show on lifeguards and citizens affects the smooth operation of the rescue department, and the lifeguards are simply not getting sufficient compensation for their burden.

The “Lifeguard!” docudrama series features an up-close-and-personal look at the lifesaving men and women of Southern California’s beaches as they conduct rescues and law enforcement measures.

The show is airing its second season, but San Diego lifeguards have also been stars of TruTV’s “Beach Patrol” and “Ocean Force” in previous years before the city was approached by Encino-based LMNO Productions two years ago.

RESCUE EFFORT Lifeguard union spokesman Ed Harris said his field lifeguards, like the one above, can be burdened by film crews following their every move.

When Steve Thompson, who for years worked as a publicist in the manufacturing sector, decided to give a career in the film industry a try, he never expected where he would end up.

When Thompson left manufacturing because of the decline in jobs on the East Coast, he simply thought he would enjoy working on movies, since he had always loved them. So he got in touch with someone who was currently producing “13th Child,” a horror film based on the legend of the New Jersey devil, and got hired on as a publicist for the film.

Not long after production started, Thompson met one of the actors starring in the film, veteran screen star Cliff Robertson. The film itself may not have been a huge hit (it went straight to video), but the friendship Thompson sparked with Robertson lasted more than a decade — until Robertson passed away in 2011.

“It was really intimidating for me, being thrown into this environment where I didn’t know what I was doing. But suddenly, there I was, face to face with Cliff Robertson,” Thompson said. “He was really good to me, helping me through the process [of working on my first film].

We just hit it off. He always found LOCAL LEGEND SEE ROBERTSON >> PG. 12 Cliff Robertson is honored as La Jolla High's homecoming football game grand marshal at Edwards Stadium a few years ago. He graduated from La Jolla High School in 1941.

Art for public good

After The La Jolla High School Splatter!

Art Club recently volunteered its time and talent to create a colorful tropical fish underwater scene on the electrical box in the South Belmont Park parking lot. Splatter! Club is an art and community service club centering around improving students’ artistic skills and taking part in community service projects.

The club combines art with helping those in need, as well as focusing on beautification, learning about different methods and styles of art, teaching how to draw, paint and create various forms of art, and giving tips and tutorials to help benefit students' artistic talents.

Club VP Kaitlin Wheeler had the club members sketch out tropical fish

A LIFE’S JOURNEY Remember Bonnie and Krishna Arora, the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotarians who embarked on the final leg of their 1,000-mile pilgrimage in southern France and Spain (“Finding a life of service on the path to spirituality,” April 11, Page 1)? They sent an update from their epic journey. Left, Krishna stands on the pilgrim bridge in St. Jean Pied de Port, France, as they prepare to begin a 26-kilometer trek over the Pyrenees into Spain.

Bonnie wrote, “The high pass that we wanted to take (called Route Napoleon) had been closed for a couple of days because of bad weather, so we were worried that we would have to take the road, but the pass reopened the day we arrived. As we walked, it got cold and began to rain and we had to trek through snow left over from the storm. It was raining when we arrived in Roncesvalles, but we were able to get our pilgrim passports stamped with our final stamp and finally complete this journey of 1,000 miles that started a decade ago.”

The La Jolla High School Splatter! Art Club volunteered to create a colorful underwater scene on the electrical box in the South Belmont Park parking lot.

Before ideas at the weekly meetings. Members Charlie Mann and Maddie Bolinger painted their own style of fish and seaweed on site. Mann used a crackle glaze to create a scale-like texture on his fish and a blend of colors to paint seaweed. Bolinger created large lips on her fish while Wheeler painted the angel fish and blue dory — her favorites. Parent Cal Mann assisted with painting the blended colored seaweed to create the background and artist Jane Wheeler helped direct the project.

Curious onlookers told the team they were excited to see the box painted and couldn’t wait to see the finished box. Several people stopped to thank the club, which hopes to transform two boxes a year into colorful works of art.

La Jolla community group civic reports La Jolla Town Council, May 9 ACCESS YOUTH ACADEMY USES SPORT TO PROMOTE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND LEADERSHIP

Access Youth Academy board member Malcolm Bohm and executive director Renato Paiva paid a visit to the La Jolla Town Council on May 9 to present their unique youth sports-based nonprofit to trustees.

Access Youth Academy invests in youth from San Diego’s poorest neighborhoods by giving them an opportunity to achieve academically, engage in community service and excel at the little-known sport of squash.

“What we’ve been able to do through Access Youth Academy is breed champions. We have nine individual champions and team champions, including the 2013 girls’ and boys’ senior national champions this year,” said Bohm.

The youth advocates do much more than just put a racket in the hands of children. They transform young lives by taking them from distressed circumstances and instilling inspiration and values that help the students become promising leaders of tomorrow, said Bohm and Paiva.

One of the values the academy teaches the children is to give back, said Bohm.

“They have chosen to get out of their distressed circumstance and make something of themselves,” he said. “We have fantastic results in the sport and we also do community service. We go out and clean the beaches, the sides of the streets and various things, and they are expected to put in a certain amount of hours.”

Another pillar in the program — and the most important according to Paiva — is educational achievement.

“No. 1 is always going to be academics. We’re not there to make champions. We are there to make students that had less chances to go to college, and we’ve been doing a good job so far,” he said. “Every day, the kids come to us and they study for at least one hour. Six years in a row, the same kids.”

Through its partnership with Preuss School, Access Youth Academy boasts a 100 percent graduation rate to top schools in the nation. This year, all students in the program’s graduating class are going to Ivy League schools, some on full scholarships.

The nonprofit has plans to expand its program to Hoover High by building a squash facility at the high school using Proposition Z bonds.

“Ours are the first set of bonds that have already been put up for sale and our contract to expand into Hoover High is within the top

three,” said Bohm. “We have a goal to match $3 million to $3 million that the city will give. Every dollar that we get into Access Youth Academy is matched through Proposition Z dollar for dollar. With that, we will be able to excel ourselves right up to No. 1 and affect many, many more kids.”

COAST BLVD. BEAUTIFICATION AT CHILDREN’S POOL STILL IN NEED OF FUNDING

With the upcoming demolition and reconstruction of the lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool beach slated to begin in mid-June, the community’s last chance to secure funding for the Coast Boulevard beautification project is nearing.

The community-driven landscape redesign project, spearheaded by La Jolla Parks & Beaches trustee Phyllis Minick, will widen the main walkway, add a secondary overlook, enhance seating, guide pedestrian access and generate plant barriers along the low bluffside wall to add safety without obstructing views in the area around Children’s Pool beach.

“The current cost is about $250,000,” said La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee Patrick Ahern. “If we wait to do it, it’s double. It would be more like $500,000.”

The one-time $250,000 price tag to restore the area is only valid if construction of the walkway coincides with construction of the city-funded lifeguard tower project.

If the projects take place simultaneously, the city has offered to share its construction team and contractors as well as waive permitting for the sidewalk reconstruction if the two projects overlap.

“All we’re looking for is six degrees of separation,” said Ahern. “Somebody you know might know somebody else who might want to make a difference.

Or we’re looking for seven donors at $35,000 apiece. It’s a one-time ask and it’s permanent. It’s going to be there for the rest of our lives certainly and for generations to come.”

Ahern said the area is currently messy, congested by the narrow walkway and can be a dangerous environment for elderly people who often trip on the edge of the sidewalk.

“This is one of the most beautiful, pristine places truly in the world,” he said. “It’s an incredible

La Jolla Shores Association, May 8 The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) got a positive reaction May 8 from the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) after DAR members suggested Kellogg Park be considered by the LJSA as historically significant.

La Jolla Village Merchants Association, May 8 The mayor has been approached about doing something to quell the smell at La Jolla Cove. The city’s council overseeing Business Improvement Districts (BIDS) could be out of business. And La Jolla merchants opted not to set a precedent by granting an applicant access to its email lists.

Those were some of the highlights at the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s (LJVMA) May 8 monthly meeting.

“The LJVMA had two meetings

last week regarding the smell at La Jolla Cove with Mayor Bob Filner and state Sen. Marty Block,” said LJVMA president Phil Coller. “The mayor said he would use his best efforts to get a team solution to the smell.”

“That’s not going to do much for merchants in the hot summer,” said LJVMA board member Trent Bonner. “[The mayor has] done a lot of other things. He ought to get out here with a fire hose.”

Mission Beach Elementary property sells for $18.5M to La Jolla developer Despite a joint last-minute attempt by Mayor Bob Filner and San Diego Unified School Board (SDUSD) member Scott Barnett to save the Mission Beach Elementary School property from sale to La Jolla-based McKellar-Ashbrook LLC, SDUSD trustees voted 4-1 to sell approve the sale for $18.5 million.

In a personal appeal to the school board, Filner gave his assurance that he would be willing to work with the school district to secure the prime coastal real estate and preserve the land for public use.

“What I would have liked to do — and I think Mr. Barnett thinks we can still do it in a timely fashion — is keep public lands in public hands,” he said. “It seems to me that we ought to be working very closely together on these lands.”

Although the city was offered the property prior to auction, Filner said he was unaware of any such sale and apologized for his 11th-hour proposal that he feared might have come too late.

“I’m embarrassed because I’m here on the day you’re making a decision. I should not do that,” he

said. “Frankly, when you notified the city that property was surplus and for sale, it went to a department that did not notify me. Otherwise, I would have gotten involved a lot earlier.”

According to Barnett’s plan, the city would pay $11 million over the next two fiscal years for the property and the school district would retain equity ownership of $7,500,001 — which amounts to one dollar more than the top bid offered by McKellar-Ashbrook at auction May 4.

“The city and San Diego Unified should work together with the community to determine short-term and long-term use of the property, which should include dedicated public uses and public revenue-producing opportunities,” said Barnett in his motion to the board. The motion failed because of the lack of a second.

“We [board members] will be gone in two, four or ten years, but that property is an asset that we’ve had since 1926,” Barnett said.

Community representatives from local planning groups and school cluster boards voiced strong support for Barnett’s proposal during the meeting.

CHANGE OF HANDS Despite an 11thhour bid by Mayor Bob Filner to stave off the sale of the old Mission Beach Elementary School property, San Diego Unified School District trustees moved ahead with the formal sale to La Jolla-based McKellar-Ashbrook LLC on May 14.

woman of the Mission Beach Precise Planning Board. “This is 2.23 acres of prime real estate in the heart of Mission Beach that is an important city resource. Our beach community would have to live with the negative impact of this sale, and SDUSD, the City of San Diego and Mission Beach will lose a valuable resource if it is sold to developers.”

Some community members expressed concern that if the developer builds a high-density condo in that location it would increase traffic congestion and criminal activity in the already densely populated beach community.

“Selling this incredible property would be a tragic, tragic loss to the district, the city and certainly to our community,” said Jennifer Tandy, past chairwoman of the Mission Bay Cluster of Schools. “You will have your one-time dollars for this sale, but we will live with the longtime ramifications of your decisions forever.”

In October, the same Mission Beach property drew an auction bid of $16.5 million by the San Francisco-based Carmel Partners, but it property was taken off the chopping block at the last minute by the school board — sparing it only temporarily.

This time around, the majority of school board trustees assured Filner and Barnett that they are interested in pursing joint partnerships for surplus properties in the future, but they could not justify the risk that would be taken in pursuing a last-minute change of heart for the Mission Beach site a second time.

Some said another last-minute retreat may send the wrong message to the real-estate community and the bond market, thus damaging SDUSD’s credibility and handicapping its ability to complete other real-estate sales.

doing our fiduciary duty because we are being watched,” said school board trustee Kevin Baiser. “The bond markets are watching, and we have to have our TRANs (tax and revenue anticipation notes) approved so we can make payroll. I think it’s a travesty and it’s unfortunate that it has come to this point, but unfortunately, there are no other alternatives I can see at this time.”

Trustee Marne Foster and board president John Lee Evans said the educational milestones they have worked so hard to achieve, despite difficult financial times, would be at stake should the school district fail to meet its financial responsibilities.

“We’ve had to balance our education mission and our financial solvency,” said Evans. “We are trustees for the education of the children of San Diego, and we will do what we can to preserve and protect their education. That’s why this is so necessary and so important that we accept this bid tonight.”

McKellar-Ashbrook principals Chris McKellar, Tim McGowan and Jeff Johnson said they are longtime San Diego residents who are interested in working with the community to craft a plan that is in line with the unique beach community character.

“We look forward to working closely with the community, the city and other stakeholders to develop a plan that is in keeping with the unique character of Mission Beach,” said McGowan. “We look forward to a project that everyone can be proud of.”

Blues and jazz aficionados are already hip to Whitney Shay and her wonderful voice, but of late she’s begun to cross over on to the mainstream public’s radar, a sure sign of bigger things to come. She performs around town with combos of various sizes, but for fans that really want to hear her expressive voice, the best option is her appearances at some of the area’s more intimate venues, such as the Marine Room, where she appears May 24 at 7 p.m. With an impressive stage presence, top backing musicians like guitarist Robin Henkel and pianist Ed Kornhauser, as well as an arsenal of standards and a deep catalog of vintage tunes dating back to the 1920s, Shay is a formidable musical force, ripe for discovery on a national level.

In The Schools

FRIDAY · MAY 24, 2013 LA JOLLA TODAY

School districts gain flexibility in governor’s budget proposal Big changes may be afoot for school districts if Governor Jerry Brown’s proposed 2013-14 budget comes to fruition.

For the first time since fiscal year 2008-09, California students will see increases instead of decreases in school, college and university funding.

“We have more work ahead of us before California classrooms are made whole, but the governor’s budget plan offers a substantial down payment on what our students are owed and what the voters wanted to make right by approving Proposition 30,” said Sen. Marty Block during a town hall meeting at University City High School in April.

Of the governor’s nearly $100 billion allotted for general fund expenditures, the budget proposes more than $50 billion for K-12 education, a five percent increase over last year.

The most substantial change in the budget proposal for K-12 educa-

tion is the shift in control of school finances from the state to the local level through a new local control funding formula.

“The local funding formula will do two things: it will give more money to districts that have a high percentage of low-income students and English-learner students, and San Diego Unified is one of those districts that will benefit,” said Block. “It will also then give each district more flexibility in terms of how to spend the money.”

Under the formula, each district will receive a base grant that varies by grade span. Supplemental grants will be generated for students who are English learners, eligible for free or reduced-price meals or in foster care, and concentration grants will be provided for districts with high concentrations of these special needs.

While San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) may benefit using the formula because of its high concentration of low-income and

The ceremony celebrated the 19 children whose remarkable artwork helps spread the vital message “Waste No Water,” including Muirlands Middle schooler Athena Tsai, who won first place in the sixth-grade category.

STATE SEN. MARTY BLOCK

English language learner students, California school districts with fewer low-income or special needs will receive less funding.

“Our board passed a resolution very strongly in favor of this,” said SDUSD president John Lee Evans at the town hall.

In San Diego Unified, one-quarter of the district’s students are Englishlanguage learners and a whopping two-thirds live at or below the poverty level, he said.

“The governor made it very clear that the needs of the schools in

Education Scholarship in recognition of their academic performance and dedication to the community. Carrillo and Rubi will receive $2,500 toward college expenses in the 2013-14 school year.

“Out of more than 200 applicants this year, 10 students stood out for their remarkable resilience, passion and drive,” said Christian Sandoval, a San Diego McDonald’s owner-operator and chair of the scholarship committee. “We are honored to help these students take the next step in their academic studies to reach their career goals.”

Compton are not equal to the needs of the schools in Beverly Hills, so we really need to make these adjustments on the statewide level,” he said.

To hold the districts accountable, each California school district, direct-funded charter school and county office of education would be required to establish a local control and accountability plan that aligns with the entity’s annual budget and spending plan. The plans must identify how state funding received through the new formula will be used to improve student achievement, graduation rates, college and career readiness and other conditions.

To shed light on what San Diego Unified’s plan might look like, Evans highlighted the district’s “Vision 2020” plan, which outlines several long-term goals the district hopes to achieve.

“While we were facing the budget crisis starting in 2009, we said we’re still going to make a long-term

plan. We really need to have a vision with this district in spite of these problems. Otherwise, we’re just going to be patching our way ahead from one year to the next without making any real changes,” he said.

The long-range goals include finding better ways to test student achievement that go beyond state test scores, establishing a bottomup approach for decision-making in the district, making teaching more effective in the classroom, finding ways to better engage parents, and ensuring each neighborhood houses a quality school.

As Brown’s budget proposal moves forward, Evans said he will keep a keen eye on the intricacies of the proposal to ensure all students have the best opportunity for a bright future.

“The devil’s in the details, so we’ll watch very closely how that proceeds,” he said.

The deadline for final legislative action on the budget is June 15, and the budget will take effect on July 1.

CURIE ELEMENTARY TEACHER IS EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR — Lisa Downard, third-grade teacher at Curie Elementary School in University City, has been named 2013 Educator of the Year by the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary (LJGT) Club. Now in its 15th year, the LJGT Rotary’s Educator of the Year program honors four local teachers and/or counselors in recognition of their extraordinary contribution to students’ personal and academic growth.

This year’s three finalists are Daniel Rupert, physics and robotics instructor at The Preuss School at UCSD; Wendy Martin, third-grade teacher at Doyle Elementary School; and Jenny Dohoney, history teacher at Standley Middle School. The winner receives a $1,000 cash award; each finalist receives a $300 cash award; and all winners and finalists receive a personal plaque and perpetual plaque for their schools. La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club has awarded over $28,000 to winners and finalists since the inception of the Educator of the Year Award program.

The Rotary Club of La Jolla presented 17 scholarships to high-achieving high school seniors at an awards luncheon May 21.

“We are so excited to be doing this scholarship program. This represents a tremendous amount of work on behalf of Rotary members,” said Russell King, facilitator of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program.

“We appreciate all the work you’ve done and the sacrifices you’ve made to get here.”

The $5,000 scholarships are divided into two types of scholarships: need-based Rotary scholarships and nonneed-based Riford scholarships.

“Congratulations to all of you who are scholarship recipients today,” said Cindy Goodman, co-chairwoman of the scholarship program. “You were all winners before you applied. You are winners now, and you will be winners in the future. We’re delighted to be involved in the process of helping you achieve your goals. You are about to embark on the time of your lives. You’re going to have a wonderful next four years and we’re glad to be a part of it.”

Scholarship winners for 2013 include Cameron Baggett, Tom Edman, Amir Ferry, Caitlyn Kellogg, Daniel Lee, Summer Beeson, Jessica Lange, Jacqueline Le, Brandon Khuu, Jessica Webster, Judith Martinez, Kailyn Miller, Delfina Gonsalez, Matthew Vasquez, Saron Goitom, Maura Kanter and Caroline Boldt.

All of the students hail from La Jolla high schools, including La Jolla High School, La Jolla Country Day, The Bishop’s School and The Preuss School at UCSD. — Mariko Lamb

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

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.

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.

• 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 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!

• 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

Technology complaints through the ages Doing it Better

By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. I am in the age group that decries new technology. We are not only the un-wired generation, we are now becoming the un-wireless generation.

When I had young children, I wished to be married to a pediatrician — now I wish for a computer professional. When my grandchildren visit, they set me up with blogs and other ostensibly helpful services. The problem is what I learn today, I tend to forget tomorrow.

They return home, and I am left alone and befuddled. Of course, I can always call someone to help, but I will be charged by the hour.

I am not one of those who is upset that the children are all on their cellphones and no one is talking to a real person. I am not raising my voice in protest about the lack of face-to-face communication. I am not throwing my hands up in despair that the grandchildren are texting while talking to me. I once asked one of them what he was tex-

ting, and he said he was telling his friend that he was talking to his grandmother.

And so let us look at how changes in communication have been received throughout history.

Although the invention of the alphabet has been popularly attributed to the Phoenicians, recent excavations have uncovered earlier writings using only about 30 symbols, suggesting the Egyptians may have invented script about a thousand years earlier. But it was in the fifth century BCE that the Phoenicians introduced the alphabet to the Greeks.

Plato criticized this spread of written language as an impediment to wisdom. He said that writing is only a semblance of truth and that people will seem to know something when, in fact, they will know nothing. He complained that writing things down would eliminate the need for memory. He said Socrates, too, had decried the written word, and had said that one can ask questions of or argue with a speaker, but the written word may not be understood and may be interpreted falsely — a precursor of today’s complaints about the lack of face-to-face communication.

In the mid-15th century, the next communication revolution occurred with the advent of Gutenberg’s movable-type press, and it,

too, was criticized for allowing the dissemination of misinformation.

The church, in particular, was losing control of what people could know and think about as the printing of secular books became more affordable. A Benedictine monk, a professional scribe, warned, “They shamelessly print … material, which may, alas, inflame impressionable youths …” The Reformation ignited by Martin Luther in 1517 was made possible by the popularization of scholarship. The dissemination of standardized information accelerated advancements in technology and science. (Think of today’s ease of global information and the possibility of movements like Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring.)

In the 1800s, the next communication revolution was taking place — the advent of the telephone.

There were privacy fears, that people would listen to the phone conversations and would lose the faceto-face communication. Complaints abounded about unwanted calls, and the annoyance of interruptions plagued even its inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, who refused to have a phone installed in his workroom. The phone was thought of as so intrusive that in 1890 Mark

Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas Mainly Mozart — one of the finest of San Diego’s fine music groups — is having a very busy year. This is MM’s 25th anniversary season, and much is in the offing. The six-week festival packs 43 events into 44 days, including five series performed in distinct venues from Tijuana to Carls-

bad. The day before the festival opened, MM celebrated Spotlight Series VIP supporters with a luncheon at La Jolla’s Piatti Ristorante.

The guests — among them several scientists who would later be speakers in the “Mozart and the Mind” lectures, which continue through June 1 — enjoyed perfect weather and some very fine wines, while chatting amicably. The free lectures, which take place just before each Spotlight concert, are part of MM’s “Connecting Through Genius” initiative. Blending music and science, the talks explore the impact of music on cognitive function — truly amazing stuff.

Lunch guests were offered serv-

ings of Piatti’s primo pastas. There were five to choose from, and it wasn’t easy. A fresh salad came first, and there were seven selections for dessert. Despite the size of the group, the service — like the food — was quite excellent. What a great way to kick off the new festival!

***

Nearly 800 people attended Mama’s Kitchen’s annual “Mama’s Day” event, held just before Mother’s Day at the Hyatt Aventine venue.

Ably chaired by Heather Bowden, it presented culinary delights from 55 top area restaurants. Guests at the VIP reception heard Mama’s Kitchen executive director Alberto Cortés announce a $2.6 million “Campaign

of Vision and Hope” (already 58 percent funded) to significantly expand the organization’s facility and its ability to provide meals for people affected by AIDS and cancer. TV’s Sam “The Cooking Guy” Zien (the event’s culinary host) showed everyone how to make the best salmon ever, and a noted mixologist gave inspired cocktail preparation instruction.

Food stations were cheek-by-jowl poolside, as well as in the adjacent Barcino Pavilion, where they shared space with silent auction offerings.

Tastings of delicious wines were poured, and no one wanted to risk missing such inventive dishes as RGang Eatery’s watermelon cucumber gazpacho with smoked sea salt,

Rancho Valencia’s Maine lobster and corn soup, or The Tractor Room’s pheasant and cognac sausage with polenta and spicy mustard. Marine Room executive chef Bernard Guillas made sesame sea salt-cured ono.

“It’s all about sharing the love and giving back to our community,” he said. “And love is delicious.”

Some guests had skipped lunch, the better to enjoy the myriad delights presented here. Sycuan topped the feast off with its massive dessert table, though decadent sweets were also served elsewhere.

Diets be damned — until the next day’s penance on the treadmill.

All in all, the event netted a record $215,000 for Mama’s Kitchen.

DININGBRIEF >>

By DAVID ROTTENBERG If you’ve driven by the Costa Verde Shopping Center, near UTC, in La Jolla in the last month, you’ve possibly noticed the change. Roy’s Restaurant has been renamed. It is now called Roy Yamaguchi’s Pacific Rim Cuisine.

The restaurant has not been sold or taken over by new management. Rather, La Jolla’s location is serving as a sort of beta test for other locations, said managing partner Brian Lee. “This is a marketing test,” Lee said. “We’ve chosen the La Jolla location as an experiment to evaluate the impact of the name change. If it makes a difference, we may roll it out and change other locations similarly.”

The menu, Lee said, will include some new dishes, “but the classic standards, which are so popular with our guests, will remain.”

Roy Yamaguchi is a phenomenon — a creative, dynamic and energetic chef and businessman who could easily be mistaken for one of the line cooks when he wears his toque.

Growing up in Hawaii, Yamaguchi experienced the joys of fresh seafood before graduating from the Culinary Institute of America and continuing his training with such famous master chefs as Jean Bertranou and Michel Blanchet at notable establishments Michael’s in Santa Monica, Escoffier Room and L’Ermitage.

In 1988, he opened his first eponymous restaurant in Hawaii Kai in Honolulu. He created a new

concept in cuisine — Hawaiian fusion, an eclectic blend of California-French-Japanese cooking traditions. The response to his culinary concepts and skills was astounding. Food & Wine Magazine named his restaurant the “crown jewel of Honolulu’s East-West eateries,” while Gourmet Magazine called him “the father of modern East-West cooking.” A few years later, he was the first Hawaiian invited to cook at the James Beard House, something of a culinary Academy Award.

Since opening his first location, he has grown his chain to 31 locations worldwide. He has written numerous cookbooks, developed a line of cookware and has become a TV personality on his

Hearing Loss Causes Embarrassment Probably the single most common experience among people with untreated hearing loss is embarrassment. Second guessing what one thinks one hears, offering inappropriate responses, missing the punch line to a joke, or getting wrong directions are examples of what you and loved ones experience.

Much research indicates that sufferers do not pursue help for themselves because the thought of wearing hearing aids is embarrassing. Ironically, failure to get help usually proves to be more embarrassing!

Recent developments in hearing technology have eliminated many people’s worries about wearing hearing aids.

This is because these instruments are invisible to others, and extremely comfortable to wear. They also sound very natural. Wearers report feeling relieved and in control again.

For a complimentary demonstration of these new hearing systems, and to see if they may work for you, contact Carole Van Straten at Seacoast Hearing (858) 922-8941.

A New Treatment Option For Alzheimer’s – Music New research is showing that memories of the past can be instantly retrieved when reminiscing to a song. Music is imprinted on our brains and has a powerful impact on memory retrieval.

While hearing and talking components of the brain are located in specific places, music is found throughout the brain. So music may be preserved, even if parts of the brain are lost through

own syndicated show, as well as on “Top Chef.” He has been invited to demonstrate his cooking style in 15 countries and has also cooked for nine world leaders, including presidents Clinton and Obama.

Now, Yamaguchi has partnered with OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC, a multibillion dollar company that operates eight major brands, including Fleming’s Steakhouses. Future expansion seems almost a certainty, although Yamaguchi’s favorite pastimes are to hang out with his children and to play drums in a local band.

Yamaguchi’s style of food preparation involves combining fresh local ingredients, European sauces and Asian spices to give his dishes texture, flavor and color.

Three principles guide his business approach: 1) Support of local farmers and purveyors. Yamaguchi insists on the freshest ingredients, and in Hawaii, his support of local growers has been legendary.

2) Allowing individual chefs to express their creative talents.

Menus at different locations may not be the same, as each chef may include stylized items.

Alzheimer’s.

Studies have found that a person who may no longer recognize his family, or even speak, will “awaken” and sing the music when they hear it. It’s a wonderful thing when a family or caregiver can watch the transformation of their loved one. This is because music memory is preserved better than short term memory. Music actually brings back func-

3) Giving back. Yamaguchi supports local charities and assistance programs where his restaurants are located.

Some of the new dishes that came with the name change include a tasty scallop and pork belly with fennel and light curry sauce; the akaushi beef tataki (thinly sliced and flavored by truffle powder that made the taste sparkle); and the grilled filet mignon, which was meaty, delightful and served with Japanese braised baby vegetables in a mushroom soy jus.

For a sensory treat in dining, Roy Yamaguchi’s Pacific Rim Cuisine is a definite winner. The newly named restaurant is located at 8670 Genesee Ave. Prices are moderate to high. Reservations are recommended. A daily aloha hour (4:30 to 6:30 p.m.) features an indulgent menu and drink specials. Call (858) 455-1616 for information and reservations.

LIFEGUARD >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

“At first, they wanted to shoot a pilot program, but it ended up being a 13-part series,” said Harris. “There seemed to be a decision made with no contract and no deal. The lifeguards were informed a week or two prior to filming.”

In the first year, lifeguard services received an $8,000 quad runner for its participation. In the second year, LMNO Productions agreed to a $37,446 contractual payment to the city, plus reimbursement totaling $1,641 for labor and equipment use.

Although that revenue reflects the highest negotiated compensation rate of the seven cities featured in the series, Harris said the city signed a poor deal because of soft costs associated with the production, ranging from retakes, film review and liability issues that were not accounted for.

“People don’t like to be filmed when they’re in distress,” Harris said.

“You increase your risk of exposure to the filming of very tragic incidents, which could potentially raise liability issues with the city. [Some lifeguard officials are] also concerned that production crews change the way we react to things. It certainly adds stress to the lifeguards who are doing these calls and distracts us from an already dangerous job.”

He said there is also no guarantee that city revenue generated by the production will be used for lifeguard services.

“We have a really skeleton crew patrolling the beaches, and they’ve turned lifeguards into actors,” he said. “It does not make financial sense. They need to cover all costs, eliminate impacts on lifeguard staff and pay the city a fair price.”

While Harris agreed that there are positive aspects to the show like good tourism exposure, there are exceptions when the show focuses heavily on shark attacks that scare off tourists and ocean-oriented businesses or films citizens when they are most vulnerable.

“The problem is the impact on the lifeguards, the impact on the beach for producing it and the lack of funds.

It’s not paying for itself,” he said.

new lifeguard representative, told the advisory group it’s anticipated that the new Shores Lifeguard Tower will be completed before the summer construction moratorium starts on Memorial Day. “The tower is something that’s been on everybody’s mind, as well as ours, and we’re (lifeguards) getting in there pretty soon, though we don’t have a date yet,” Lewis said.

Coakley Munk suggested the advisory group write a letter to the city stating “we would be fine with the work continuing, including the

wants to do it, but there needs to be some changes to how it’s structured.”

In addition to higher quality and more clandestine production equipment to ease the victims’ comfort level, it needs to make fiscal sense for the city, said Harris.

“No part of our operating budget should be used to support it,” he said.

“At the end of the day, this is the fifth year of the show [including TruTV’s shows], and it really hasn’t had an impact on us budgetarily and it really hasn’t helped us explain what we do.”

San Diego Lifeguard Services Chief Rick Wurts, however, said the department has had “excellent experiences” with the documentary-based productions and believes the show is successful in educating viewers about the lifeguards’ roles, promoting safety on the beach and identifying how beachgoers can avoid hazards in and around the ocean.

“With both production companies, the department has been very pleased with the way in which our lifeguards were showcased, their level of professionalism and the series in general,” he said. “Our lifeguards have recognized the value of the various TV series as an educational outreach to the public allowing them to see in a graphic visual manner the conditions under which lifeguards work and the challenges they face in their everyday duties.”

Wurts said he also feels the city is getting sufficient compensation, including an increased ability to attract corporate sponsorship and showcase it as a tourist destination.

“During every episode of ‘Lifeguard!,’ San Diego’s beaches and bays are prominently featured to hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Having the opportunity to feature our beautiful beaches to a national audience has intrinsic value to tourism and supports jobs and the community,” he said.

Wurts and the department’s senior leadership feel they are capitalizing on a rare opportunity to educate a national audience about the key role lifeguards play in the community and display the skill and professionalism of their guards.

“Our partnership with LMNO Productions educates the public on the

value that lifeguards provide to the community and replaces negative notions and stereotypes about the role of lifeguards with the image of professionalism,” he said.

Regarding allegations of safety concerns, Wurts said his guards have absolute veto power if they believe the film crew will complicate a scene, increase the risk of a rescue or act as an obstacle in any way. In such scenarios, the lifeguard can direct the cameraperson, citizen or other film crew personnel to back off or discontinue filming.

“At all times during the filming of the TV series, the production company was strictly supervised by a designated lifeguard officer,” said Wurts.

“Both the lifeguards and the production company staff were briefed regarding the absolute need for the film crew to provide appropriate space to the public and our personnel.”

While he admits that each lifeguard and citizen has varying levels of comfort and tolerance while being filmed, he said it is no different than when local TV news crews or members of the public film public safety personnel during the course of their duties.

“It’s no secret that we’re living in a YouTube world by virtue that almost every person over a certain age has the ability to video public events,” he said. “Within the department, there is an expectation of emergency skills expertise and professional conduct under all conditions.”

Lifeguards are not currently in negotiations with the production company for a new round of shows, said Wurts. If the show returns for another season, a contract would have to be approved by the mayor before any filming can begin.

Should the production company decide to return this summer, Harris said he hopes the lifeguards get a better deal for their trouble. Otherwise, the show is simply not worth doing, he said.

“I agreed to do it because they told us we were getting money, and we didn’t get money,” he said. “Now, most of us are over it. The lifeguard union is opposed to it. We did it for free. You put us on your website.

We’ve done the whole deal. We’re done.”

demolition of the old tower, after Memorial Day because it doesn’t start to get really busy there (Shores beach) until the end of June. The city should know we’d be supportive of something like that.”

Lewis added there have been an increasing number of marinemammal carcasses turning up on the beach in La Jolla Shores and at Black’s Beach, which have had to be removed.

“A lot of them are starving,” he said.

adding, “We need better outreach.”

Lucas also commented on a luncheon meeting LJSA board members enjoyed recently with University of California, San Diego chancellor Pradeep Khosla.

“What was interesting for me personally was that UCSD’s student population enrollment has been down the last two years,” Lucas said, adding he was also surprised that the size of the university’s budget devoted to students was actually relatively small compared with its research and medical budgets.

“They’re (UCSD) trying to make this campus the jewel of research,” he said. “It’s one of the top six uni-

ways to make you comfortable.”

Thompson kept in touch with Robertson after filming ended.

When Gregory Peck, who was a close friend of Robertson’s, died in 2003, Thompson called him to express condolences — and to inquire if he was planning to release a statement to the press.

Robertson, who had never had a publicist, replied he hadn’t planned on it, so Thompson offered to help him draft one, sealing their working relationship that continued until Robertson’s death.

“He was terrific to work with,” Thompson said. “Every time I had a question about the industry, he would answer it and he always helped me out when I needed it. Once, a producer was considering me for a film. Cliff called him to endorse me, and not 10 minutes later, I got a call from the producer. He said Cliff’s opinion was the gold standard for integrity in the industry.”

It’s that reputation that Thompson is now hoping to preserve in the annals of film history. Along with director and producer Brian Gillogly, Thompson’s next film project will be of a more personal nature: a documentary of Robertson’s life, with focus on both his acting and his love of aviation. Robertson, who was born in La Jolla and graduated from La Jolla High School, has starred in countless films and won an Academy Award for his role in the film “Charly,” but, Thompson said, there’s not much of a record of his life and accomplishments.

“Everyone spoke of what a great guy he was,” Thompson said. “Having seen how he affected so many people and because he was so open to me and helped me out, I would like to do a documentary on him. I want to have something to present to his family.”

Thompson is still in the initial phases of planning. The project, he said, will likely cost no more

versities in medical research in our country.”

UCSD community relations representative Anu Delouri confirmed UCSD student enrollment is holding steady.

“There are 26,999 full-time equivalent students this year, of which 6,000 are grad students, which is less than the number of students enrolled in 2008,” she said, noting the university’s staff numbers about 19,000.

“Health sciences is where the growth is happening, in medical,” Delouri said.

Neighborhoods near UCSD have had ongoing problems with stu-

than $200,000 — “A lot to you and me, but a drop in the bucket in the industry,” he said — and he hopes to crowdfund most of that from funding platform Indiegogo. So far, funding hasn’t exactly caught fire, with much of the $9,500 Thompson is hoping to get from the campaign — which ends on May 31 — still unfunded. Still, he said, he hopes fans of Robertson will come out to support the project.

Thompson is also hoping to get support from former colleagues of Robertson’s in the form of participation on the film. He plans to feature clips from some of Robertson’s biggest films, including “PT 109,” “Charly,” “The Pilot,” “J.W. Coop,” “Three Days of the Condor” and “SpiderMan,” and he’s in the process of trying to get Robertson’s co-stars from such films in front of the camera for interviews about their experiences working with him.

“The man was instrumental in my life. He was there for me, and he was there for a lot of other people, too,” Thompson said. “I just don't want to see him lost in history. I don’t know his granddaughter, but I would like to be able to give her something about how great her grandfather was, and to have something to give to all the people who knew him.”

New LJSA board member Matthew Edwards suggested the board keep pressure on the city to consider the possibility of adding a ranger to patrol Kellogg Park, one of the city’s busiest summer beach areas.

“A ranger is critical in the park,” Edwards said. “It also keeps the community a beautiful place.”

LJSA’s next meeting will be June 12 at 6:30 p.m. in Building T-29 at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. For more information, visit www.ljsa.org.

Kudos! But wait a minute … a fifth-grader could probably do just as well. We then compared that same company’s estimated selling prices for homes in La Jolla, especially homes with ocean views or those that offer other extraordinary benefits, and well, that company’s estimate was below the actual selling price by as much as 27 percent to 33 percent. Unfortunately some prospective buyers believe in these published estimates and are using them as a basis for making offers.

These search sites likely use some very sophisticated algorithmic models to estimate selling prices. The models seem to work effectively in “look-alike” areas, but seem to fail substantially when it comes to specialty home

markets like La Jolla. To purchase a home in a “look-a-like” area is like shopping for apples — every apple in the bin costs $2.49 a pound. Homes in La Jolla are more like unique pieces in an art gallery, and each can have a very different value.

For any seller who has received a ridiculously low offer, there may be a good chance that it was from someone who was doing their research from one of these online real-estate sites, and using that company’s recommended price.

Online third-party search site databases are a bit like online dating sites — both lack substance.

As much as we are all headed to more technology, for now, nothing takes the place of personalized service and knowledge from a real-estate agent. Whether you are buying, selling or both, we encourage you to hire a respected and trusted real-estate team.

The Closet to relocate in former Home Bank building The Closet is relocating to 875 Garnet Ave., just a few doors down the street from its current location at 4475 Mission Blvd. Construction at 875 Garnet Ave. has already broken ground and The Closet is anticipating opening its new doors by summer.

The relocation will provide The Closet with more visibility along Garnet Avenue, provide additional parking for its customers, and provide the store with more square feet to grow.

The Closet specializes in affordable clothing and accessories for women.

Home Bank of California has been at 875 Garnet Ave. since October 1981 and has relocated to 4493 Ruffin Road. Home Bank’s new location opened for business in March.

SUCCESSFUL NETWORKING EVERY WEDNESDAY IS YOUR AGENT A REBA MEMBER? 908 KLINE ST. LA JOLLA | 858.454.6126

It’s Wednesday morning and you’re dying for coffee and a muffin.

As you cruise Fay Ave. looking for a place to park, no luck, nada, zilch.

A quick left on Kline reveals the issue.A swarm of people looking like they’re dressed for church are gathering around a building you’ve never even noticed before. As you maneuver into a spot vacated by a fitness patron (maybe you’ll skip the muffin) the word REBA in foot high bronze lettering on the building’s face is all you can see. Clearly it’s not a country singing star’s fan club. What is this place?

La Jolla Real Estate Broker’s Association; REBA (If you’d already had your coffee you might have noticed that this is also on the building and that the R and the A in REBA also form the letters L.J.) REBA is one of the oldest business associations in San Diego County. Founded in the 1920s, it’s where the local real estate community meets to network and pitch their clients’ properties to each other. Many agents have been members for decades and all of them know the La Jolla market like the back of their hands. Every Wednesday morning the group gathers for a spirited one hour meeting to hear what’s new to the market followed by a Power Point presentation and then a tour of properties available for REBA members only (caravan) to view open houses that day. Most La Jolla agents consid-

er it their most important day of the week.As one of the group’s leaders was fond of saying “If you haven’t seen it, you can’t sell it.”

Even in today’s alleged technology-driven market this personal one on one approach provides sellers properties with maximum exposure to other agents. The relationships and friendly competition that REBA fosters is the source for many of the real estate transactions that take place in La Jolla. If your home is not listed with a REBA agent you may be missing a key component to selling your home.Ask your agent if they are a REBA member.

Behind the magic of the Secret Garden Tour Though La Jolla’s Secret Garden Tour has been a favorite of the community for 15 years, what many visitors to the tour, hosted by the La Jolla Historical Society, don’t see is the behind-thescenes action that takes place prior to the big event.

Each year, a committee is tasked with choosing the designers to take part in the tour. Designers are kept in the dark until a couple months before the tour, at which point they are informed which garden they will be assigned to decorate. They then have about two and a half days to complete their designs.

This year, a team from Vignettes in Ocean Beach was given the French Garden, for which they transformed a potting shed and garden into a fran-

Plants, flowers, vintage pots and moss rounded out the shabby chic look, created by Barbara Gray of Cottage White, along with Vignettes’ Karen Lampard, Robin McKeirnan and Lori Chandelier.

“Our team meets and tosses ideas back and forth then we come to the house with our cars loaded with items we think will work together,” wrote Gray in an email. “I personally have sleepless nights visualizing the whole project.

“It’s interesting the way it comes together — a lot of putting in, taking out, trying different props over and over again. We really look at the property, study it and see just how we can enhance it ...

It did help to have wonderful homeowners that allowed us the freedom to take their beautiful property to the next level.”

Twain wrote a Christmas card wishing all people rest and peace, except for the inventor of the telephone. Today, we also complain about interruptions in the form of spam emails and text messages.

And so it is, that writing and reading, the Gutenberg press and the telephone have all led us to where we are today — the internet.

We are living in the midst of another communication revolution. And what do we hear? Not only the same complaints, but in the same words. Fear of the written word as

opposed to the spoken one, fear of the invasion of privacy, fear of the rapid dissemination of ideas, fear of the loss of control over potentially oppositional social and political movements — these are all fears voiced over the centuries and again today.

Change fosters discomfort until we adapt and move on. So in the meantime, let us accept our texting children, tweeting grandchildren, our wireless phones vibrating in our pockets and celebrate our continuous need for invention, our endless creativity for what we call progress: the relentless pursuit of more, faster, better, which defines our civilization.

This almost one-acre lot backs up to the spectacular La Canada Canyon. The previously approved coastal development permit was for a grand Tuscan Estate and Guest House. However the current owner had spent an additional $300,000 on absolutely stunning new design plans with “House & Dodge” for a soft contemporary estate with guest house. This one of a kind property is now ready for the estate it so richly deserves.
