She showed as much with 'Pure Essence,' her movie on womanhood and the sensuousness of body art, at the 2014 La Jolla International Fashion Film Festival; she'll reportedly take on a major presence as well at this year's installment, which features a colossal look at clothing, its hottest designers and its latest trends as the niche world of couture takes on a life of its own in film. The sixth annual festival, called the Cannes of the fashion film industry, is set for Friday and Saturday, July 24 and 25, at La Jolla's Sherwood Auditorium, 700 Prospect St.; check ljifff.com, this paper and sdnews.com for updates as opening night nears.

Hats off to civic icon Esther Viti, 1932-2015 Esther Viti, La Jolla’s “Hat Lady,” was impossible to miss. The chapeau-clad, wheelchair-bound Viti was omnipresent in the Jewel. She hosted community clean-ups and attended civic functions. She took loving care of the community’s memorial benches, watching over them as if they were her children. S h e could be s e e n
roaming the Village, patrolling the streets looking for illegal signage or ensuring that everything was accessible for the disabled. Of Esther Viti, one thing is certain: She loved La Jolla. Which is why the community has been in mourning since news of her April 13 death, at age 82, in the Casa de Manana retirement community. “One of the benefits of serving on the La Jolla Town Council was that I had the opportu-
nity to meet and work with Esther Viti, the Hat Lady, said Council President and District 1 Councilwoman Sherri Lightner. “My first encounter with her involved working on the memorial bench program, followed by volunteer code enforcement efforts and her monthly clean-ups of the Village. It was incredible how much she did for the Village, and her tireless volunteer work will be missed.” “I will remember her dogged pursuit in making the Village a
Mt. Soledad Memorial Association’s new executive director, USN Command Master Chief Larry Wilske, has a new assignment – shepherding the veterans group through changing times. “I am honored and humbled by this appointment,” the highly decorated retired Navy SEAL said. “This organization is not only important to our region but to the country and our military community.” Wilske retired in 2011 after 30 years of U.S. military service and six tours of combat duty overseas. Recently, association president/CEO Bruce Bailey announced the new executive director’s hiring, noting that Wilske “was selected out of a pool of highly qualified candidates. His leadership skills are what the association needs for our future growth.” Asked if the association is at a crossroads in its history, Wilske replied, “Absolutely.” Noting the association has put a lot of hard work in, Wilske said the group is “just about ready to own our memorial.

News NEWSBriefs >> Man pleads guilty in robberies in La Jolla, Mission Beach, OB The second figure in 11 actual and attempted robberies in the UCSD area, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach and elsewhere pleaded guilty April 20 to committing two hold-ups. Joseph Andres Garcia, 20, has agreed to accept a seven-year term in state prison, said Deputy District Attorney Michael MacNeil. The sentencing for the getaway driver, Benjamin Hernandez, 24, is set for April 30. San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh set sentencing for Garcia for May 18. Both men remain in jail on $500,000 bail each. Hernandez also pleaded guilty to committing two hold-ups in March. He faces up to six years in prison, but as the getaway driver, he could get a lesser term. The remaining nine robbery charges against both men were dismissed. Hernandez was arrested Feb. 3, 2014 after a witness wrote down the license plate number of the BMW used as the getaway car in the Feb. 2 spree. It was traced to Hernandez’s home in National City. Garcia was arrested two days later. The victims, 10 men and one woman, testified last April in the preliminary hearing. Most victims said they were robbed at gunpoint; some said guns were held to their heads. The first robbery happened about 6:50 p.m. in Ocean Beach, and other hold-ups occurred in Hillcrest, Golden Hill, Mission Beach and the Midtown area. Two students were held up at UCSD in La Jolla. – Neal Putnam Playhouse receives grant for audience expansion study On the heels of an education outreach fundraiser that netted it $1.5 million, La Jolla Playhouse has received a $390,000 initial grant as part of a new national expansion initiative from the New York-based Wallace Foundation.The program, Building Audiences for Sustainability, is a $52 million effort at developing insights into how performing arts organizations can expand patronage. The $52 million is expected to sustain the effort for six years. The Playhouse is one of two theater companies in the state to be singled out for the award. The foundation will provide funding for the Playhouse to complete at least two “continuous learning cycles” of work. The Playhouse says it plans to use the award to develop multi-ethnic projects and increase the diversity of its audiences.

Wrestling made a new man of La Jolla High's Hathaway Interviewing Jack Hathaway, a wrestling co-captain at La Jolla High School, is different from interviewing other prep student athletes. One, he has a unique way of expressing himself. And two, rather than being highly task-oriented and way overbooked (including tackling four or five AP courses and a business initiative combined with a service project), the 16-year-old junior openly talks about his “self-doubt” and struggles in personal interaction. Once a scrawny 130-pound freshman who by his own admission had never really done anything athletic, Hathaway has filled out into a 155-pound junior who has gained self-confidence and who openly states: “I like myself much better than when I was in eighth grade.” The Clairemont resident's journey into wrestling, a sweaty, grappling sport, is a wonder for a young boy who disliked middle school and had few friends.

“I can’t run, I can’t throw, I can’t catch,” Hathaway said of his failed attempts to play football and run track. But then in a first-period American Sign Language class as a ninth-grader, he began to talk to upperclassman Matt Zucca about wrestling. “There wasn’t a day Matt would let me forget about wrestling,” Hathaway explained. The bigger student would physically pick Hathaway up and carry him, telling him, “You’re going to get into wrestling.” “I’ve only had a few male role models,” the co-captain said – “my dad (P. J.), my godfather and Matt, besides my coaches, Ryan Lennard and Kellen Delaney. Matt is everything a big brother should be. He was kind of a jerk, which I think a big brother should be.” Through Zucca’s persistence, Hathaway did join the Viking wrestling squad, then in its glory days. It has since had to rebuild after losing a senior-dominated
team from 2012-13. Hathaway, with co-captain Jake Harvey, is part of that rebuilding process. Hathaway chuckles about losing to a wrestler who was two years younger than him when he first started wrestling. His sophomore year went a little better. After his sophomore season, Hathaway began private sessions with Lennard, then one of the wrestling coaches, now the high school's strength and conditioning coach. “I lifted with him Monday, Wednesday and Friday after school,” Hathaway said. “He gave me a sheet (of drills) to do on weekends. I gained 20 pounds of muscle. My bench press went up 40 pounds. We did flexibility stuff and agility stuff. My agility has increased. (As a result), the season this year has gone great.” Hathaway is one of the leaders in new head coach Delaney’s revamped program. More important, he said, Zucca and his other teammates have helped him grow

Perspective
San Diego and its post-bombing sympathies were well-represented at Boston Marathon By TERRI STANLEY BOSTON – Boston is coming off its worst winter on record; accordingly, training for the 119th Boston Marathon, run Monday, April 20, had been no small feat for many East Coast runners. But here from the West were several marathoners who trained in some of the best weather in the country. Sunny and warm but not too hot, and with much less humidity, San Diego presents an ideal climate – and with all those miles under their belts, four San Diegans were pretty confident they’d finish the race and hit their time goals (in related matters, San Diegan Meb Keflezighi was unable to defend his 2014 title, and a race to the finish in the women’s division ended with Kenyan Caroline Rotich eking out a win over Ethiopian Mare Dibaba). But this is the Boston Marathon, and anything can happen here, as the world witnessed two years ago. The already storied event has risen to a new prominence since the bombings that led to four deaths and the injuries to hundreds during the race in 2013. And in a twist that rivals that of a novel, the surviving bomber is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of all 30 counts of murder and conspiracy on April 8 in a Boston federal court. San Diego was one of many cities that rallied behind Boston after the tragedy, raising funds and awareness. Events like The Boston Strong San Diego run, organized by Vavi, the San Diego running club (where thousands of runners came out to show their support for The Last Run To Boston, organized by boom RUNNING owner Mike Daly), were commonplace. Jenni Ceglowski, who completed

this year's half-marathon at 01.39.38, grew up in Arizona and has been a San Diego transplant for about five years. Her husband got her into running about a year after moving to San Diego as a way to explore, meet people and enjoy the legendary good weather. “It was really incredible to see the community come together here in San Diego after the Boston bombings,” Ceglowski said before the race. “I attended various events and runs, and the sense of support was unreal — just about everyone had a connection to the Boston Marathon. People came together to support their homes, friends and families, remember their pasts, defend their dreams and honor their country in what we did best — run. The Boston Marathon has come to symbolize our strength as a community and as a nation, our ability to stand up and push on, our empathy to reach out and support those around us, our

drive, our courage and our determination to put one foot in front of the other even when we are faced with obstacles.” For most of the runners, there are competitive and emotional reasons for running Boston. San Diego has a large running community, and there are many people with ties to Boston. A Road Runner Sports marketing manager who has been running for 20 years, Garrett Sheehan, originally from Kingston, R.I., has lived in San Diego for 10 years. He finished with a time of 03.03.03, remarking that Bostonians “bleed passion for this race, just like they do for their sports teams. “I think people around the world will tell you it’s ‘the’ marathon, the one that you have to do, a box you have to check as a runner,” said Sheehan, 32. “There are amazing runners out here, and the Boston
Marathon is a goal for everybody. We’re 3,000 miles away, but for people training for marathons, Boston is on the top of the list.” Sheehan said there is an added importance to running Boston this year. “I qualified last year, and I’ve been training the last six months to get ready for this. I’ve been working my butt off… and with the bomber trial happening, I think all runners took that personally, so I am excited to get out there, be a part of it, embrace it and take it back.” Lauren Padula, finishing at 03.19.54, is a running coach who received a doctorate in physical therapy from Northeastern University and has been living — and training — in the San Diego warmth for the last six years. “I ran Boston in 2007,” Padula said, “and actually went to school at Northeastern. I honestly think that the large number of people who live out here are connected to Boston. So many of us either went to college in Boston or are from the East Coast or have run Boston before, so it really affected us too when the bombings happened. It was on my college bucket list to run Boston. After the bombings, I said I want to run Boston again, I need to run Boston again.” Runners often talk about the electric energy to this race and that it is unlike any other marathon, with the possible exception of the New York City Marathon, that traverses that city every fall. Eric Marenburg, born and raised in Peabody, Mass., can say as much. He's a competitive runner, running cross-country and track and field in high school. He went on to run competitively at the University of Maryland as a walk-on and has completed six marathons, including Boston
three times. His personal best was 02:39:53, and he expected to finish this year at about 02:45 – but he had a rough day, struggling with foot pains and the inclement weather as he came in at 03.24. “During the last three miles, when I wanted to walk all the way in,” he said, “I came across a girl in tears as she was chugging along. When I asked what was wrong, all she could say was she was so cold. We understood that runner bond and that we were both struggling but [that] if we can do this together we can finish. Thanks to her, I was able to run all the way to the finish, hurting foot (and hips by that point) and all.” But the race is more than tears and weather and aching bodies. “As a runner,” Marenburg said, “the best thing about Boston is you don’t have to know anyone to be cheered on because it’s such a celebration — you feel like a rock star running down the street, especially Boylston (site of the bombings). In some ways, the Boston experience ruins you, because once you do that, nothing rivals the energy.” He, too, cited the inspiration of running the Boston Marathon this year. “My motivation to be here this year were the events in 2013. It was certainly a huge influence in wanting to qualify so I could get back out there. Since the bombings happened, a lot of the people who are running it this year were motivated by this.” Terri Stanley, former editor of Boston Common magazine, is a writer, television program developer and producer who saw her "styleboston" magazineformat program win two regional Emmy Awards, including in the Outstanding Magazine Program category in 2013.
Exchange student firm launches search for local host families
State Senate approves plan to install statue of late La Jollan Sally Ride in U.S. Capitol
EF High School Exchange Year has launched a search for host families in San Diego as part of its annual efforts to welcome international exchange students into communities across the United States. According to Stephanie Brown, an International Exchange Coordinator who helps find homes for EF exchange students in Rainbow City, Ala., host families come in all shapes and sizes. “I encourage all kinds of families to host exchange students,” Brown said. “My host families really represent the diversity of American culture, coming from many different economic, religious and social backgrounds. Some are parents looking to give their own children a glimpse of the world without having to travel themselves. Others have no children or their children have grown up and moved out, and they’re looking for new ways to connect to their communi-
The California Senate April 13 approved 22-10 a proposal to place a statue of late astronaut and La Jolla resident Sally Ride inside the U.S. Capitol. The move isn't without controversy, as it may lead to the removal of another prominent Californian's likeness. Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D. San Diego) is an author of the resolution. The plan must still be approved by the Assembly and Gov. Jerry Brown. At 32, Ride became the first American woman in space, aboard the space shuttle Challenger in 1983. Following her NASA career, she promoted science education among girls through the La Jolla nonprofit Sally Ride Science. The Stanfordeducated physicist died of pancreatic cancer in 2012 at age 61. Ride would be the first acknowledged gay or lesbian person with a statue in the collection. She would
ties. Still others just want to promote global understanding right in their own backyard.” In 2014-15, EF connected nearly 3,000 exchange students from around the world with host families across the country. The firm expects to place the same number for 2015-16. EF exchange students are between 15 and 18 years old, coming from one of 13 countries across Europe and Asia. Students live in the United States for one or two semesters and attend the local high school. Nonprofit, Cambridge, Mass.based EF High School Exchange Year is a division of EF Education First, an international education firm. EF High School Exchange Year has promoted global awareness through student exchange since 1979. The organization brings more students to the U.S. each year than any other high school exchange pro-
gram, having connected more than 100,000 international students with host families across the U.S. “Hosting an international student is a truly life-changing experience, and we’re excited to find wonderful new host families in communities all across the country,” said Dan Sodervall, president of EF High School Exchange Year. “The exchange experience is as rewarding for the host family as it is for the student. You bring a new culture into your family and community, you fulfill an international teenager’s lifelong dream of living in America and you form a lasting relationship that spans the globe.” San Diego families interested in learning more can contact local coordinator Neil McInnes at (760) 716-1731, or they can email him at nmcinnes237@gmail.com.

also be the first woman from California enshrined in the hall. Sen. Ricardo Lara (D., Bell Gardens), the proposal's chief author, said the addition of Ride’s likeness would thus build on California’s tradition of breaking from convention. Washington, D.C.'s National Statuary Hall, home to several likenesses of noteworthy Americans, also contains a statue of Catholic Spanish missionary Father Junipero Serra, who in the 18th century established the spread of Christianity through the future state's missionary system. With the addition of Ride's likeness, Serra's statue would be retired. Amid Republican senators' objections, Lara said Serra's statue wouldn't be removed for some time as the piece is commissioned and wrought. Serra is set to be canonized by Pope Francis later this year.

La Jolla fears permanent change amid short-term rental flap Those for and against the idea of short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) testified April 22 before the city’s Smart Growth and Land Use Committee, which took no action and continued the hearing to Friday, May 29. Meanwhile, the meeting had to be moved to Council chambers amid a huge turnout. “The purpose of this meeting is to come up with recommendations on how to change the city’s Municipal Code on STVRs,” said committee chair and District 2 Councilwoman Lorie Zapf. Following the meeting, Council President and District 1 Councilwoman Sherri Lightner said she was “glad to hear that both sides of the issue were being heard.” Lightner added she’s looking forward to “finding a solution that works for all parties, including the City.” La Jollan Jon Mangerich, a member of a grass-roots group seeking
STVR reform with a website at SaveSanDiegoNeighborhoods.org, said after the meeting that the attendance indicates just “how wide ranging” the issue is. “Going forward,” Mangerich said, “the concern we have is trying to get the city just to enforce what they have (codes), and that can be done quickly and take care of this chaos. Unfortunately, that’s not where the city (apparently) wants to go.” Mangerich pointed out that residents from everywhere along the beachfront were represented at the hearing. “PB is fearful they may end up like Mission Beach (saturated by rentals),” he said. “La Jolla is fearful it’s going to end up looking like PB (proliferating rentals). It’s (STVRs) migrating very quickly.” Mangerich drew a distinction between problematic STVRs, in which landlords are not physically
present, and Airbnbs, wherein onsite landlords rent out their facilities to guests short-term. This, he noted, has proven to be far less troublesome. Ultimately, Mangerich said, “We’d like to see rentals in residential or single-family zones of no less than 30 days.” Several residents in Pacific Beach, one of the areas most impacted by the recent proliferation of STVRs, turned out to speak. Brian Curry, chair of Pacific Beach Planning Group, said he thinks the issue comes down to zoning and semantics. “If it’s not in the code, then it’s permitted,” said Curry, noting STVRs should be classified as “visitor accommodations,” a category that includes hotels and motels. “The irony is, STVRs are included with visitor accommodations when it comes to taxes, but they are not included with visitor accommodations when it

comes to zoning. How can that be? It’s time to evolve the (municipal) code and provide good enforcement.” A large number of perturbed residents paraded up to the mic reciting their “horror stories” of how noisy and problematic STVRs have diminished their quality of life. Longtime PB resident Larry Emlaw noted STVRs are a “citywide issue.” Emlaw warned that the continuing proliferation of STVRs could forever change the character of communities. “STVRs can cause the destruction of neighborhoods,” Emlaw said, adding, “This is not a police matter, it’s an incompatibility matter. If you live next door to an STVR, you will be forced to move. That property (hence) will not be able to be purchased by families raising children but will only be purchased by an STVR investor.” Emlaw cited Mission Beach as a case in point – a community that once had a significant number of single-family households but now largely is an enclave for STVRs.

dedicated to doing the right thing. You knew if Esther said she was going to do something that she would take care of it.” Ashley said Esther “kept track of everything meticulously — the old school way. She had folders and folders filled with every detail related to every bench she ever installed." Kathleen Pihl knew Viti for 22 years. “I only saw Esther without a hat on once,” said Pihl, adding Viti’s favorite place to celebrate birthdays and Valentine's Day was La Valencia. “We met each other for lunch or dinner there almost every Feb. 14th and Sept. 14th (her birthday) for many, many years,” Pihl said. “She always reserved the far table on the patio overlooking the ocean and came dressed to the hilt. Eating a meal was always an experience with Esther. She used to say, ‘Sit- down dinners is the only way I celebrate — with tablecloth and napkins and candles.’” Fashion and looking good were very important to Viti, said Pihl, noting, “She always had a color-coordinated hat to match her outfit for the day and lots and lots of accessories — bracelets, necklaces, earrings and scarves. Pihl noted that “Esther was Catholic and very spiritual. If you had an ailment or special need, Esther knew exactly which saint to specifically pray to. She will be missed, but I know I'll see her again when I get to heaven.”
of San Diego, urged the growth committee to come up with new regulations that are “sensible and enforceable.” “There is no need to create new laws, just more efficiently use the laws in place,” Smith argued. Several residents, many along the coast, testified that they were responsible STVR landlords. Many of them noted that was the only way they could continue to own their homes given today’s high cost of living. Jonah Mechanic of SeaBreaze Vacation Rentals, which operates in PB and La Jolla, said the STVR industry is growing but added it’s “actually a very small percentage of all rentals.” Mechanic argued STVRs are good and necessary for the economy while providing an essential housing option for families and visiting business professionals alike. The spirit of the meeting regarding STVRs was summed up by one person who testified that “The genie has been let out of the bottle — and there’s no going back.”
Esther Viti was born Sept. 14, 1932 (sixth of nine children) in the Chicago area to a large Italian immigrant family with an insurance business. She moved to Phoenix in 1950 and worked as an insurance adjuster, raising her family of six children there. She was divorced in 1971 and moved to La Jolla in 1988. An avid golfer, she regularly volunteered to help with local tournaments. She started organizing the memorial bench program and the coastal bench program in the late 1990s, interacting with donors and getting the plaques and benches installed. Esther organized monthly cleanups in the Village area for many years as the chair of La Jolla Town Council's defunct Nell Carpenter Beautification Committee, identifying a street or area that needed attention and making the clean-up happen. On Dec. 7, 2010, she received a proclamation from Lightner declaring the day "Esther Viti Day" for all her years of volunteer service. Viti is survived by six children, 10 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Viti’s family will be holding a memorial service in the Phoenix area in mid-May. A local, informal remembrance for her is being planned. If anyone would like to remember Esther's contribution to La Jolla in helping to fund her memorial bench, please make checks to The La Jolla Town Foundation, P.O. Box 89, La Jolla, CA 92038. Please write “Esther Viti Fund” in the memo line.

Art was in fashion at the Timken's Masters of Style show Fashion Files

Park. This fashionable occasion also celebrated the Timken's 50th anniversary, with Dame Zandra Rhodes as honorary chair. Rhodes is an international fashion designer from London who rose to notoriety in the '70s with amazing textile prints in bold colors. The crowd was entertained by the haunting music from Jennifer Spingola, of Spags. Spingola performs on the electric violin, combining the old with the new in creating a style of music that delighted everyone. The delicious hors d’oeuvres were supplied by Catering Solutions, with the Timken staff creating an incredible Candy Bar (the guests filled containers with candy samplings to take home) Previous winning Art of Fashion designs were shown off on beautiful models, graduates of Fashion Careers College; the designs were inspired by the fine art in the Timken. Additional designs showcased the work of students from UCLA, who studied the painting “A Seaport at Sunset,” by ClaudeJoseph Vernet, from the Timken collection. The students did extensive
research on this painting, which depicts a Mediterranean seaport. They first began with an inspiration board and a fashion illustration, and the work itself was modeled on miniature mannequins. Each of these one-of-a-kind designs incorporated an element from the masterwork. Students from The David C. Copley Center for Costume Design were there to greet the crowd, along with their teacher, Prof. Deborah Nadoolman Landis, an Oscar-nominated costume designer and author. Charlotte Ballard, the winning participant, was awarded a $5,000 scholarship. Her inspiration came from the astrolabe, which determines the latitude at which ships travel; she thought that the brass of the astrolabe against the sunset hues would reflect beautiful warm colors. Ballard also interpreted the guiding light of the lighthouse for her design approach, and this created a truly artistic piece. Proceeds from this event will support educational programs at the Timken. For more information, visit timkenmuseum.org.

Athenaeum's membership figures don't jibe with mainstream La Jolla By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN Editor's note: This is the second installment in a two-part series on The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, a unique La Jolla repository for all things artistic. The venue will host an annual national Membership Libraries Group meeting on Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26 – meanwhile, its director notes that the community approaches it with something close to benign neglect. As nearby Whisknladle and Puesto Mexican Street Food noisily sanction the afternoon Wall Street bustle, The Athenaeum, at 1008 Wall, quietly recedes several feet in, secure in the universal significance of its rarefied bounty. A CD of 19th-century Moravian parlor music. A DVD of “Quadrophenia,” The Who's second rock opera. An exhibit of the works of the 2014 San Diego Art Prize winners, running through May 2. More than 8,000 volumes of art books, containing information on myriad techniques and surveys. Sheet music from as early as 1813. Administration of the Murals of La Jolla series, featuring regular walks and talks on the neighborhood's cool outdoor art. Outreach to the city schools' nine districts that touches
40,000 students a year. Funky satellite branches in Logan Heights and University Heights. The tranquility and history beckon one inside – but on a recent afternoon, the delicious fare at Whisknladle and Puesto holds sway, with The Athenaeum virtually empty. “Many [members] are here just for a short time,” Torri explained. “We have 2,000 members, and we pretend we remember everybody's name, which isn't always true. And the other thing is, more than 50 percent of the members are not from La Jolla.” Well, that tells you what you need to know right there. A highly educated neighborhood of 48,000 whose household incomes are nearly half again the national average, fewer than 1,000 of whom (knowingly or not) acknowledge The Athenaeum as the cultural trove it is. There's a definite disconnect here, and truth be told, part of it may be attributable to an Athenaeum PR practice itself. “We want to be very careful not to send out too many eblasts,” Torri explained. “We are very careful to remember that the members and nonmembers are not coming to the same thing. Some of them are interested in jazz; some of them are interested in chamber; some are interest-

ed in the books and manuscripts. The ones that are using the books and taking the CDs home, they probably don't have to come to a concert, because they already have the music. No. We're very careful.” Programming is central to the venue's divisions of labor, and membership facilities feel the winds of change in their offerings. The La Jolla venue takes notice accordingly. It presents an eclectic, year-round schedule of art exhibitions, concerts, lectures, studio art classes through its School of the Arts, tours and special events.
Jazz concerts, kids camps and parties for the venue's so-called young Night Owl members fuel activities for the bluejeans crowd and younger, but, Torri said, “We really haven't integrated into the more established programming yet. “You started out with television and now this and this,” Torri explained, “and now look where we are. You can have your little iPhone, and that's what you do. We need someone to offer more in social media, and we want to do iPhone photography and so on. We're also going back to letterpress, weaving, knitting. We also offer classes for the retirees, a doctor, maybe, who wants to go into painting.” These topics, she assures, will be among those front and center at the April meeting. For now, the topic turns back to London native and onetime La Jolla resident Ellen Browning Scripps and her colossal local clout. Lots of people are teachers and publishing tycoons and family heirs, but very, very few exploit those occupations to avocational status. “I wish I could express in living language,” Scripps once reportedly wrote of La Jolla and The Athenaeum, “what I feel in my heart... [m]y grateful appreciation of
‘…we pretend we remember everybody's name, which isn't always true.’ ERIKA TORRI ATHENAEUM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
the community spirit which has been, and continues to be, adding new life and strength to an organization which, it seems to me, should be never-ending in its scope of special and educational activities.” The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library wasn't made by Ellen so much as for her and others like her. She'd agree that La Jolla's face is changing (indeed too rapidly for some), but she'd add that a place like The Athenaeum is the exception to this rule in its history and aesthete. Just as 19th-century San Diego would yield so precious a gem, so too would its present-day stewards echo Scripps' fervent hope to mine it. The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, at 1008 Wall St., is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays through Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays.

barre3 fitness studio celebrates two years in La Jolla After four seasons with the San Diego Chargers, Lauren O’Bryon retired from her NFL cheerleading career but began searching for other dance-intensive workouts to help maintain her fitness level as an athlete. She traveled to Portland, Oreg.to try a class at a barre3 studio, and she knew this workout, combining the ballet barre with disciplines of yoga and Pilates, was something she wanted to bring to San Diego. This month marks the second anniversary of the barre3 UTC/La Jolla studio opening, the franchise’s first in California. O’Bryon opened the corporate-owned studio, located at 8895 Towne Centre Drive, with Chargers teammate Giselle McInnis. As studio manager and lead instructor, O’Bryon typically teaches between five and eight classes per week. “La Jolla is such a bright and wel-
coming community,” O’Bryon said. “I knew barre3 would thrive here because I felt results and transformations in my body. When I felt these positive changes in myself, I was sure there were others out there who would benefit from barre3 as well.” With more than 75 studios across the U.S., Canada and the Philippines, barre3 features a 60-minute workout set to upbeat music using light weights, a core ball, an exercise mat, a yoga strap and, of course, a ballet barre. Designed to burn fat, build muscle and break plateaus, this low-impact workout involves several small movements and isometric holds to build strength and endurance and larger dynamic movements to elevate the heart rate. “Connecting with our client base and hearing their successes reminds me why I opened the studio two years ago,” O’Bryon said. “Whether barre3

has given them more energy at work, improved their tennis game or decreased chronic aches and pains, each of our clients has a unique story and positive impact.” O’Bryon added that a handful of regular clients have continued on to become barre3 instructors. Some unique features of barre3 include amenities like access to daily childcare (except Sundays), cork flooring that doesn’t require special socks like most barre studios, two rooms to accommodate for larger classes and ballet barres at differing levels to support various heights. The “3” in “barre3” name is a symbol of balance in three areas of life, including a

healthy body, a clear mind and a positive spirit. Workout apps like ClassPass, which allow members to bounce between multiple workout studios, have increased locals’ awareness of barre3. Attracting a mostly female demographic, barre3 can be modified for anyone, including those who have injuries, are pregnant or are new mothers. For new clients, barre3 offers a three-class package for $40 (single drop-ins are $20) and a one-month unlimited package for $99.

North Coast's latest romp is necessarily funny By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN Billie Dwyer pretty much sucked at her coursework in cop school, just as Mayor Meekly, her dizzified boss, got in over his head in politics. Meanwhile, big bad security guard Agent Frank frantically falls to his knees in prayer if anybody so much as sneezes at him the wrong way. Even Meekly's wife Mary isn't the mousy little thing she seems in Unnecessary Farce, the current entry from North Coast Repertory Theatre. About the only figure he appears to be is playwright Paul Slade Smith, whose handle on farce and farceurs is unerring and decidedly unapologetic. Smith spent many years as an actor in the nation's premier theater city (i.e., Chicago), absorbing firsthand the cardinal rule to successful farce: Play to the absurdities of the situations (presuming they're absurd enough), and character development, at least in the audience's eyes, will take care of itself. Here, director Matthew Wiener stole Slade's playbook long enough to prove the point. By all means, this show is a textbook example of the genre, and if you can suspend your expectation of a mainstream payoff, you'll see what I mean. After that, the only question is a matter of taste. Dwyer, a hopeless tomboy who
played too many installments of cops 'n' robbers as a kid, shows her stuff (read: ineptitude) early on. She's one of two bumbling officers on a case involving cooked municipal budget books – they're hoping that city accountant Karen Brown can induce Meekly to bribe her into keeping her mouth shut and catch him in the act. Sounds clever, except for the way it's handled; instead of secretly taping the coup, we get a load of Brown and Eric Sheridan, Dwyer's partner, doing the nasty. From there, it's vintage farce. Doors slam, garments fly, bodies traipse in and out of bed, water pistols are brandished, identities are swapped, apple-cheeked Mrs. Meekly shows her evil true colors and a casehardened hit man's Scots brogue sounds like something closer to Klingon. It all comes out in the wash here – never mind that the dry cycle doesn't quite kick in. Of course it's mindless. But that's the point, and the fun of it. Whereas mainstream comedy is more effective amid its rhythmic points of reference, farce is designed for the opposite effects – incoherence and cacophony, to name two. Its effectiveness lies in its ludicrousness, and

Dining FARCE >> CONT. FROM PG. 12
therein it's the litmus test for the most accomplished actors, who must fight every urge to build on their characters at the expense of the crazy story. One-note portrayals? You bet they are. But try keeping what amounts to a straight face as all that lunacy colors your world. Farce is much, much more difficult to perform than it looks. But here's where the “taste” part comes in: It's also a desperately saturated genre. Everybody from Molière to Gilbert & Sullivan to Noël Coward to Philip King has been writing farce since God was about 3, beating a path to the public's door and inadvertently taking the rest of the house with it. As funny as it may
be, farce is hopelessly formulaic – a notion that besets Smith despite himself and his obvious way with words. On the other hand, there are as many preferences for genre as there are butts in the seats – and for better or worse, farce has earned an estimable share of those patronages. Jessica John's tousled Brown; Jacque Wilke's dyed-in-the-wool Dwyer; Christopher M. Williams' opportunist Eric; Ted Barton's ditzy Meekly; John Nutten's shallow Agent Frank; Dagmar Fields' sociopathic Mrs. Meekly; David McBean's jawdroppingly hilarious Todd: All build an excellent case for the genre accordingly. Farce may not be everybody’s cup, but the actors' culture of ensemble has created a very funny argument in its favor. Marty Burnett’s set is tailor-made
for the genre, what with all those doors and mirror-images. Just once, I'd like to see a scene design that doesn't scream “farce!” – in fact, I just did, when New Village Arts mounted Stage Kiss last February (the first-act set was a pleasant surprise). The rest of the tech comports well, down to the matching bedspreads and wall art; costumer Alina Bokovikova was correct in dressing Brown a specific way (guess what color she's wearing). I've gone on too long about the virtues and demerits of farce, so I thought I'd let a local theater maven add a comment or two. “So many companies,” Ocean Beach's Anne Goodale once told a local publication, “think they have to have a message. The plays never seem to be about [the situational] experience or about good acting or just the alive-

ness of theater itself — they all have to be about God or women or gays or blacks or some other cause. Me, I just want to have fun. I. Want. To have. Fun.” Goodale would love this show, then, because she obviously understands the genre. She might have said farce is theater's way of laughing at itself – and with a show like Unnecessary Farce behind it, that laughter marks a universally good time. This review is based on the matinee performance of April 19. Unnecessary Farce runs through May 10 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987-D Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach. $37-$41.

There's untold reward in prudent financial management
HATHAWAY >> CONT. FROM PG. 5
Ask the Retirement Concierge Sharonann Hamilton
Dear Sharonann: My wife passed away two years ago. She always took care of the finances while I brought home the money. After we retired, I just wasn’t interested, so she did it all; but now I have to do it all. Many people are asking for money: school loan payoffs for grandchildren, contributions to many causes, gifts for specific purposes, endowments, charitable trusts, grandchildren trusts. Unfortunately, I bought a house for my daughter – well, I forked over a down payment, and now I find out that I also am on the loan, a $1.2 million loan. I just thought that I would help, but now, after she lost her job, the mortgage bills started coming to me. I told them “no,” but they said I’d signed for the mortgage. What can I do now? Am I stuck? And how do I handle all these requests for money? Signed: All Too Much! Dear All Too Much: Yes, it is all too much for anyone without some experience in financial management even if you are smart and successful in your own work. Taking on the reigns of your personal estate is a huge job in the middle of the emotions of your loss, especially if you have no training. It is the
equivalent of riding in a steeplechase when all your prior rides were as a child on a pony. It is easy to err. Signing documents without understanding them can cost you a fortune. Unfortunately, if you signed as a guarantor on a loan, you are responsible, even if it was not your intention. What can you do now? Discuss with your daughter how long she thinks it will be before she is employed again. Talk about selling the house and moving into a more affordable place on her current budget. Then just do it. If you need to, get your advisors involved – a CPA, a financial advisor and an attorney. Get out of it as soon as you possibly can. Oh, and learn the lesson so you will not have to be in the same position again. No matter what your age, you can learn to manage your own money if you want. There are classes all around you, from university extension programs to adult learning programs, such as those at La Jolla Community Center or Oasis Mission Valley. You can find a thousand books on the subject in any library or on amazon.com. You do not have to learn it all at once, but making a practice of learning over time will help you help yourself for life. Your advisors are usually knowledgeable, and they welcome your questions, because they know that informed investors make better decisions for themselves. As far as requests for money: Many of my clients have put into place a systematic gifting strategy using discretionary money each year after figuring out how much
they can afford without sabotaging their own financial well-being. It makes sense to understand where your charity dollars are going and what they are doing. We all have a personal mandate to give responsibly. For example, if you fund a scholarship for a worthy high school student to go to college, doesn’t it make sense to find out where they are going to school, what kind of grades they are keeping, what their plans after graduation are? It is good stewardship to follow the money you give in order to evaluate whether you ought to give again when asked. “What do you passionately want” is a great question to ask yourself when making your gifting plan. Ending world hunger/slavery? Education funding for students? Finding answers to diseases like diabetes, cancer, lupus? Supporting your church or missionaries? Helping your favorite museum acquire equipment? The list is endless but always needs to begin with your own interests. If you need help organizing, then ask your advisors. Several years ago, a client was in a similar quandary. After discussion, he decided to volunteer at the USS Midway. He enjoys talking with visitors from all over the world, proudly showing his book of growing up in the Great Depression and his 30 years' military service. He is engaged with the museum’s mission to the world. Suppose you do all of these things and you just cannot stand taking care of all of these plans and details and decisions. Many people feel like you do, and they find an assistant or personal manager that can move your ideas into
action without much more than your supervision. The amount of detail that you can set up to run automatically is nearly endless. You can automate bill paying, report electronically to your accountant, send birthday cards, place standard orders, put information on your calendar. It takes some time to set up, but the relief is worth the time. The bottom line, though, is that you are personally responsible for your wealth. How you manage it has impact on your family and on the society around you. Your family members are impacted because they see what you are doing and hopefully learn good stewardship themselves. Society benefits from your gifting. Your financial responsibilities do not have to be heavy burdens if you are willing to step up. Learn more all the time. Make a plan covering your gifting strategies. Coordinate with your professionals. Get involved so you enjoy the giving results. And if you still cannot take the details, hire help. Simple? Yes, but not easy. Find your courage, and know that you can do it! — The Retirement Concierge offers estate settlement coordination assistance as a team member of attorneys, trustees and fiduciaries.

goals; he is athletic and popular. “But girls – they’re a mystery,” he said, shaking his head. “I have three sisters, but I have no clue about girls.” In his bulked-up experience, he does yoga with his mother Kayt, who grew up in her native England. His dad is a lifelong La Jollan, having attended both La Jolla High and Bishop’s. His parents met here, fell in love and got married. Hathaway said he would like to act in a play before graduating next year; “I haven’t been able to because of practice and meets.” For example, he recently returned from the CIF meet in Holtville, which was an all-day event two hours away, demanding on his time.
‘My freshman year, I was sad all the time. I didn’t think I could do anything. I had never excelled at anything. With wrestling, I am more confident. I can talk to people. I am much happier.’ JACK HATHAWAY LJHS WRESTLING CO-CAPTAIN
The young man also keeps a journal. “I write about my own distorted psychosis,” he said wryly. His jottings include attempts at the story about the nerdy eighth-grader who “wakes up four years later” with newfound athletic ability and being liked by people. As far as personal likes and preferences, “a solid burger and fries” means that In-N-Out and Five Guys tie for best hamburger. His sojourn in the wrestling brotherhood means “I definitely am not so much a pessimist as I was before. I told myself that I’m not getting better, ‘Everyone is beating me.’ I have gotten over my self-doubt. One thing that people should know about me: I am the biggest pessimist. I am extremely sarcastic.” “My freshman year, I was sad all the time. I didn’t think I could do anything. I had never excelled at anything. With wrestling, I am more confident. I can talk to people. I am much happier.” Having been picked on in elementary school, and “some” in middle school at Muirlands, the young man would like to follow Zucca to Spokane's Gonzaga University and study criminal justice “to get the bad guys. “When I was a little kid, my dad would tell me how his Uncle Tony brought down the bad guys. I’d like to do something like the FBI or DEA.”
Dining A half-century of Italian classics simmer at The Venetian Restaurant in Point Loma By FRANK SABATINI Jr. Few family-owned restaurants in San Diego can claim they’ve been around since before man walked on the moon. The Venetian Restaurant in Point Loma is among them, opening four years prior, in 1965, when the kitchen served plates of spaghetti for 85 cents and baked up whole pizzas for $1.25. Fifty years later, founder Vince Giacalone still drops in regularly to dine with his wife Carmella, usually after 5:30 p.m. Mass on Saturdays. Since retiring, he’s passed the torch to his sons Joey and Frank, who have ushered the restaurant into the 21st century with new dishes, a full redesign and brisk delivery service. The longstanding recipes for pizza dough and red sauces, however, haven’t changed. “Those are my father’s, the untouchables,” says Joey, adding that dishes such as chicken cacciatore and veal Parmesan have also remained firmly planted on the menu for the past five decades. The Venetian was originally located at 2910 Canon St. before moving in 1973 to its current location at 3663 Voltaire St., where it continued blossoming as a destination Italian restaurant. Through the years, both dining rooms have seen the likes of singers Frankie Laine and Barry White as well as famed author Joseph Wambaugh and players from the San Diego Chargers. “More so,” says Joey, “we’ve witnessed so many families come in with their kids over the past decades, and now those children are calling us up saying they’d like to have their wedding rehearsal dinners at the restaurant.” Vince, a first-generation American of Sicilian parents, served as an Army cook in the Korean War and first tried his hands at opening a bakery in San Diego. “But he was miserable,” says Joey. “It wasn’t for him.” The Venetian proved a much better fit, allowing him to develop dishes

from his family background while continuing to cook them until Joey and Frank were old enough to work the kitchen and bring some of their own recipes into the mix. Among the most recent additions to the menu are Mediterranean scallops bathed in butter, olive oil, basil, tomatoes and lemon juice. Topped with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, the scallops are sourced fresh from Pacific shellfish and appear in several other dishes. Another top seller is the brothers’ version of shrimp puttanesca tossed with olives, garlic and chili flakes and served over linguini. Equally memorable is the chicken piccata constructed with a perfected glaze of lemon, butter and white wine that comes together in the pan upon order. “Our red sauces are the only things we keep in steam tables,” says Joey, adding that the kitchen goes through up to 10 gallons on Friday nights. The menu extends to numerous pasta dishes such as baked cannelloni and lasagna using housemade pasta, plus fettuccine Alfredo, farfalle with prosciutto and peas and traditional spaghetti with meat or marinara sauce. Basically, there isn’t a classic Italian dish that goes missing. Two years ago, the brothers gutted the restaurant to give it a full interior makeover, which resulted in what Joey calls “a clean, Tuscan-style
look,” with modern high-back booths and a redesigned patio. The intent was to maintain the look and feel of a heritage, neighborhood restaurant rather than turning it into something showy and overly modern. The Venetian’s 50th birthday occurs officially in June. “We have things up our sleeves for celebrating it,” adds Joey, hinting that commemorative T-shirts featuring his father’s profile might be made. “We are very lucky,” Joey concluded, “that my father built a foundation that is un-crackable. It’s not an easy business, but at the end of a working shift, when you see people who have been enjoying our restaurant for years, it’s all worth it.” The Venetian is open for lunch Mondays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner every day from 4 to 9 p.m. For more, please visit venetian1965.com or call (619) 223-8197.

face it, sometimes that’s just easier! When it comes to accepting you, or a family member is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease however, the ‘ostrich routine’ will simply not cut it. The short answer is simply that the sooner it is recognized, and accepted, the sooner steps can be taken to make life a bit easier for all involved. So, as a starting point, have a frank discussion with your family doctor. Yes you can troll through the internet and self-diagnose for everything under the sun, but really leave the assessment to a medical professional. There are numerous guides, articles and organizations to assist in coping with someone who has Alzheimer’s but, the denial by one or more family member is oftentimes the biggest obstacle to getting the right help. And by getting the right help, it makes it easier to deal with: -Driving (or not), wandering/getting lost -Not recognizing family and friends -Anxiety, frustration & mood swings -Outbursts and irregular behavior Really, it’s not fair to them, yourself, or your extended family to not face the issue head on. True, there’s not much that can be done medically at this time, but there is plenty to do to make life more livable for all involved, but first it needs to be acknowledged!

Find Out What Motivates You
Doing it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. We all follow more or less predictable patterns of responding to our environment. Wanting to be significant and wanting to matter are common wishes for many people. Is being significant important to you? If so, how do you achieve that? Some people like to be visible, upfront, counted. Others prefer the back seat, working behind the scenes. Some people are self-promoting; others are self-deprecating. Do you seek center stage, or do you prefer to be invisible? Do you like to be in charge most of the time, or do you prefer others to make
decisions? Motivators can also be negative, such as avoiding an activity or outcome which you fear. There is no right or wrong; what is important is to be aware of what motivates us, because it influences our choices all day, every day. Contributing to the welfare of others, being of service or helping out is a powerful motivator for many people. Some people just pursue their own goals, unaware of others' needs. Some people love variety in their lives, adventure, change. Others prefer constancy and certainty. You? Most people need the feeling of being connected to others — family, friends, community — but not all. Some need more con-

Preliminary reset in attempted murder of Kyle Kraska A June 2 preliminary hearing has been rescheduled for an El Cajon man in the attempted murder of television sports director Kyle Kraska in a Feb. 10 shooting outside Kraska's home. Mike Montana, 54, had his preliminary hearing rescheduled April 16 in San Diego Superior Court. The hearing had originally been scheduled for April 30 in the attack on Kraska, 48, shot six times and rushed to surgery at Scripps La Jolla Hospital following a business dispute with Montana. Deputy District Attorney Rebecca Zipp said the case was assigned April 16 to Judge Michael Smyth and that the attorneys can now file legal papers and motions. Montana had a falling out with Kraska, who had hired him to paint the exterior of his Scripps Ranch house. Montana reportedly wanted more money than the two had agreed on and had left notes on Kraska's door. Witnesses saw a white van with the name “Superior Painting” on it leave the scene, and a neighbor of Montana's alerted El Cajon police. The owner of a business with that name said he did not know Montana.

Memories, jacarandas rule as 17th Secret Garden Tour nears
This photo of jacaranda trees inspired this year's Secret Garden Tour poster.
PHOTO BY LINDA MARRONE
What began as me and my friend Susan Vandendriesse's idea over a cup of coffee has blossomed into an event we are pleased to say has become a perennial La Jolla favorite. Our reason for starting the Secret Garden Tour, set this year for Saturday, May 16, was to make people aware of the La Jolla Historical Society and its efforts to preserve our unique seaside community. Now in its 17th year, the tour will take place on Saturday, May 16, with benefits going to the society. Susan and I are honored to have been chosen this year's honorary chairs – we nurtured the tour as a seedling and are delighted to see how nicely it has grown. In addition to the garden tour, there will be a Secret Garden Boutique and Gift Faire on the grounds of Wisteria Cottage, at 780 Prospect St. The faire will be open to the public and will feature gardening accessories, plants, vintage finds and an assortment of gifts for home and garden. This also makes it a great time to visit the newly restored cottage, now the society's home. This year's tour poster features a painting by artist Dot Renshaw, named "Jacaranda Bliss," which highlights a stunning jacaranda tree from a magical garden on last year's tour. Because of the

warm weather we've had this year, the jacarandas are in full bloom, a little earlier than usual. The clouds of purple blossoms on these magnificent trees reminds me of the Village Garden Clubs program that plants jacarandas throughout San Diego. For a $50 donation, you can have a tree planted in memory or in honor of someone special, or you can simply contribute to the beautification of San Diego. Thousands of jacaranda trees have been planted since the program was started 28 years ago. Don't miss out on the opportunity to celebrate spring with us in some of La Jolla's most beautiful cherished gardens, where you will also be treated to artists at work painting garden scenes, live music and the designers' attractive displays. One of the artist's paintings from this year will be chosen to grace the 2016 poster. Go to the society's website at LaJollaHistory.org or call (858) 459-5335 for more information on making your tour reservations. For the Jacaranda Tree Planting Program, contact dcarroll92109@yahoo.com or call (858) 750-2106. Linda Marrone is a Realtor with Coldwell Banker in La Jolla. Pictures of her garden have appeared in local and national magazines.

Planners OK controversial Whitney project The controversial Whitney mixed-use project, likely to be appealed to the City Council for a final decision, was approved after substantial debate by the city Planning Commission April 16. The commission sanctioned a revised environmental document for the project as well as a coastal development permit, a site development permit and a tentative map waiver. The project, at 2202 and 2206 Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores, already seven years in the making, seeks to
demolish an existing singlefamily home. It would be replaced with a new, threestory mixed-use development with retail on the ground floor and condos on the second and third floors. Some Shores residents contend the project violates the Planned District Ordinance, the community’s blueprint for development. Detractors contend the project’s bulk and scale is excessive, making it incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Whitneys have said the
housing portion of the project will provide residences for family members. Next-door neighbor Myrna Naegle, whose late husband Dale was involved with the project early on, said she opposed it because the height of the building would impede her view and access to ventilation. Commissioners gave conditional approval to the project, asking that the second and third floors be stepped back to allow more “breathing room” for the Naegle residence.

nections, others need more privacy, more time alone. Which do you prefer? We all have heard the terms “extrovert” and “introvert,” “outgoing” and “shy,” “social butterflies” and “homebodies.” Whatever the terminology, some of it fits you and impacts your behavior. These are some of the questions that most probably impact your daily behavior and your life choices. It is only by answering them that you will understand why you do what you do. You may not like some of your answers if you are honest with yourself. But whatever you find out about your inner — sometimes secret — motives, they are all part of
the way you were brought up, the environment you live in and the choices you have made along the way. Sometimes, these motivators are hidden deep in your unconscious mind and are difficult to expose or acknowledge. But whether you wish to capitalize on them to achieve satisfaction or to name them in order to revoke their power and transcend, the first step is revelation and acceptance. Unless you become conscious of your behaviors and their reasons, you will be bound to keep repeating your responses to stimuli whether you like it or not. Understanding yourself will help you decide on your career path as well as make daily choices. Become a social worker or a CEO, offer someone a helping hand or unwaveringly pursue your goals.

There’s a whole laundry list of things we’re going to have him do.” Bailey said that recent upgrades to the memorial site include the ongoing addition of electricity, expected to be installed by the end of April, to provide lighting and operate sprinklers. With electricity, Bailey said that memorial’s flagpole can remain lit at all times and that guests will be able to find where memorial plaques are located on the walls via an electronic directory onsite. “We also can have an announcer’s system. It will be fun,” said Bailey. Wilske had a recent political “calling,” running unsuccessfully for Congress against incumbent Susan Davis. Wilske characterized the experience as “humbling.” “There are a lot of Americans out there, regardless of party, who are saying, ‘It’s OK to be a patriot,’” Wilske said. He noted it’s remarkable in which all the different walks of life patriots can be found, adding he found that knowledge to be “refreshing.” Asked if he's politically conservative, Wilske replied, “No, I’m just a patriotic American.” Wilske intends to steer the association forward, preserving its integrity by sticking to what the organization

an opportunity arises, I tend to take charge. Why? Probably because no one else seems to want to. If someone else does, I am not competitive unless I feel that other person is not doing it right — of course, “not doing it right” means not doing it according to how I think it should be done. Having strong opinions colors my perceptions. So I need to ask myself: How often do I think I have the right answer? How does this impact my behavior? And all of a sudden, I may say, “Oops”; something seems a bit askew here; I should pay more heed to others’ judgments, preferences and values. In other words, this is an example of how by answering what motivates us we can become dismayed at the consequences of our behavior, and then — and only
19
then — we have the possibility and the power to change. This, of course, requires the ability to see unpleasant traits about ourselves as well as the desire to change. In order to become the person I wish I were, I must accept the ongoing process of self-discovery. I’m throwing this challenge out to my readers: Keep wondering what motivates you. It is an exciting journey of discovery, of meeting yourself — maybe for the first time — and learning to like your struggling self. Good luck! -- Natasha Josefowitz taught the first course in the U.S. on women in management and is the author of 20 books. She lives at the White Sands in La Jolla.
