Pinniped problems persist along West Coast There's 'no silver bullet' solution to the growing sea lion problem in La Jolla Cove or anywhere else By DAVE SCHWAB Given that the La Jolla coast's burgeoning sea lion population (and the odor it fuels) is an increasingly vexing and persistent problem, the question now becomes: What can be done about it? A lively La Jolla Town Council discussion in April allowed community planners, residents, animal lovers and wildlife biologists to register their concerns about the gradual encroachments of sea lions onto the
rocks and beach at La Jolla Cove. The consensus at that forum was that most prospective deterrents to sea lion settlement are likely to work for a short time before the animals become accustomed to them and then ignore them altogether. Seeking to find out what other affected communities are doing about these feisty pinnipeds, Village News contacted other areas along
the West Coast to find out if — and how — they’ve found a way to “tame their lions.” “Non-lethal deterrence is an option,” said Monica DeAngelis, a marine mammal biologist for the Los Angeles office of the National Ocean and Atmospheric Organization

La Jolla man caught in Nepal quake grateful for small favors By DAVE SCHWAB La Jolla psychologist Mark Schindler was standing on one leg in a yoga pose just before noon when it struck. “I was in the middle of the tree pose along with 11 other women and another man, and the building started literally moving — and we all just tumbled to the floor, and you could hear screams and cries,” Schindler said of the April 25, 7.8-magnitude quake in Nepal's Katmandu Valley, which killed more than 7,000 and injured more than twice as many others. “I was scared, even though I’d dealt with this kind of death dilemma before.”
SHHHHHH!! La Jolla's annual Secret Garden Tour is so named for a reason – the focal landscapes aren't revealed until the day of the event, which this year is Saturday, May 16. Not to worry; the tour never disappoints amid the colossal foliage and the accompanying musicians and artisans, and proceeds go to the sponsoring La Jolla Historical Society, one of the Village's finest causes. Meanwhile, you can content yourself with this impressive image of a stop from last year. Crawling vines juxtapose with a carefully cultivated assortment of flowers and brush at a house on Via Valverde. As to May 16, patrons are asked to meet at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St., at 9 a.m. for one of La Jolla's staple cultural events. COURTESY PHOTO

Worst of all, said Schindler, was how long the quake took. “It lasted two or three minutes, with lots of aftershocks,” he said, adding it was a continuous “rumble and shaking, moving and swaying.” “I told everyone, ‘Run out(side). Forget your shoes, just run out.’” He had anticipated it being his last day in the Asian Himalayan country, where he was celebrating his 60th birthday. As it turned out, it was just the start of a long ordeal. Once outside, Schindler witnessed firsthand the appalling destruction.

French-American School is also an extended family and a nod to poetic justice By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN Editor's note: This is the first in a twopart series on La Jolla's San Diego French-American School, which seeks to hold itself out as an institution uniquely capable of preparing students for life on the strength of France's profound international impact. The elementary playground at La Jolla's San Diego French-American School is decked out with a map of the world, each nation drawn in a different color. The object is simple and
twofold: The kids get an armchair lesson on where the borders between countries lie, and more important, they're reminded on a daily basis that the borders exist at all. The map is big and bold, vying for a sizable share of attention as a clutch of impressionable young minds saunter by. The fun starts with a closer look. The borders are drawn casually, almost lazily; exceedingly bright hues reflect an almost comic-book artistry
behind the spirit of the illustration. This is no declaration of cultural restraint but an almost glow-in-thedark message on the beauty of cultural diversity – and fifth grader Seiji Ayala-Sekiguchi has a pretty solid handle on the benefits to this approach. For one thing, Ayala-Sekiguchi,

AROUND THE BLOCK: That's entertainment! (This is an ongoing series profiling the representative businesses in sections of La Jolla Village. As many merchants as possible are contacted/mentioned, but this is not an exhaustive list. Those inadvertently left out in profiled areas can be mentioned online at sdnews.com by emailing reporter@sdnews.com.) As to the blocks bounded by Pearl and Kline streets on the north and south and La Jolla Boulevard and Fay Avenue on the east and west: It’s not what they are now so much as what they could become – part of a new Village entertainment district. “What we’re hoping to create on
Fay is a real flagship,” said Richard Walker, owner of Richard Walker’s Pancake House on Prospect and a La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) board member and block captain for the merchants group. The association represents a 30-block business improvement district including more than 1,300 businesses in downtown La Jolla. LJVMA president C.A. Marengo agreed that evolving a new entertainment district could be a real game changer for the Jewel. "It's such an exciting time in the history of La Jolla when night life expands past Prospect Street and we
can increase our walkable Village by creating zones of interest that tie our business community together," Marengo said. "We are excited to welcome the movie theater and the music society's new project. The LJVMA wishes to embrace and enhance their existence with a La Jolla walk of fame and increase the nightlife environment on Fay with infill retail and a street enhancement the caliber of the Hollywood district." “The (upcoming) opening of the movie theater (Boffo scheduled to open in late August) will go a long way as an anchor tenant to make it an entertainment district,” Walker said. “That’s what we’re going for.” It’s easy to see that this roughly triangular parcel is already undergoing a transformation. Plans are under way, not only for an upscale seven-screen, dine-in theater where Jonathan’s Market was at 7611 Fay (due to open in late August) but also for the $62.5 million Conrad Pre-

The Conrad is slated to open in January of 2018. Tapenade French Restaurant spokeswoman Sylvie Diot said they’ve enjoyed being a part of the mix on Fay, noting the restaurant will relocate to Upper Girard this summer. “Tapenade fits well into this block with the excellence of chef JeanMichel Diot, who convinced San Diego foodies that his background fit their taste,” she said. She added that Tapenade brought chefs in from around the globe, bringing their culinary savoir-faire to bear on the
La Jolla restaurant scene. Sylvie Diot pointed out that fitting into a particular block “is not only a real estate question” but also about “competence” and committing to become a local “destination.” Other existing businesses in the complex along with Tapenade at 7600 Fay include Salon Sage at 7594 Fay and Design Alchemy, 7602 Fay.

Schroeder ordered to stand trial in piano consignment flap After hearing from 18 witnesses, a judge April 23 ordered Peter Schroeder to stand trial on 38 counts of elder theft, grand theft and misappropriation of funds stemming from the placement of pianos in his business to sell on a consignment basis. Schroeder, 75, operated the Schroeder Piano Company, at 5680 La Jolla Blvd., for many years until it closed in February. Schroeder, of Pacific Beach, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains free on his own recognizance. San Diego Superior Court Judge Charles Gill ordered Schroeder to next appear in court May 7 to set a trial date. Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood said there are 19 victims in the criminal complaint and that two charges have been lodged for each victim. He said he expects to add four more charges based on testimony in the nearly five-hour
preliminary hearing. Greenwood said elder theft was charged in the event the victim was over 65 and that grand theft was charged in the remainder of the cases. The pastor at one victim, Grace Church of North Park, testified the church sued Schroeder after it placed a grand piano for sale in Schroeder's business and didn’t get paid initially after the instrument sold. Jacobs said Schroeder eventually paid the church $8,000 and that the lawsuit was settled for $11,000. Greenwood initially filed 14 felony charges but added more as news stories about the alleged business practices persisted. Carol Stark, 86, of La Jolla, testified she placed a Steinway piano in Schroeder’s business in August of 2010 but received “a pittance” of $5,203. She said she expected it would sell for “at least $35,000.” “It was a chase to futility, a song
and dance,” said Stark. “He never returned calls.” Tobe Rathaus, 85, of Pacific Beach, said she asked Schroeder to sell her Steinway piano that he estimated was worth between $12,000 and $15,000. Rathaus said Schroeder told her the piano sold but that she never received any money for it. Her financial planner, Harry Cougler, testified Schroeder told him he sold it for $13,500 but that he contacted the DA's office when he didn’t pay Rathaus. Vivienne Bennett testified her sister and Schroeder signed a consign-
ment agreement for their late mother’s piano in 2008. Bennett said Schroeder eventually paid $11,000 but that the contract said the piano should have sold for $29,000. “La Jolla,” Bennett explained, “is a reputable place to do business. [Schroeder] had been in business a long time.” James Hancock testified his late mother’s piano disappeared from Schroeder’s store a year ago. Hancock said it was appraised by Schroeder for $8,000 but that he never received any funds after Schroeder said he sold it. District Attorney investigator Byron Zmijewski testified about interviews he had with victims who could not testify in the hearing. Schroeder’s attorney said during cross-examination that the pianos in question were appraised at lower figures than what the victims said they were worth. – Neal Putnam

He was wearing glasses, a blue baseball cap, a white T-shirt and jeans.
New wine venue, bluff repairs report among Bird Rock meeting items By DAVE SCHWAB
Cove sea lion problem (what else?) main topic at parks group meeting By DAVE SCHWAB
Highlights of Bird Rock Community Council’s May 5 meeting included an introduction and taste testing offer by a neighbor starting a wine business as well as a report from a city official on Midway bluff repairs. Lowell Jooste, a native South African who is taking over the former site of Julian Bakery at 5621 La Jolla Blvd., discussed his new business venture, La Jolla Crafted Wines. “My family was in the wine industry for four generations in South Africa,” said Jooste, noting he’s turned the old Julian Bakery site into an “urban winery.” “We have a winery license, and we’re bringing wine down from Napa (Valley) in barrels for tastings from the glass,” he said, noting he’s taken a page from local microbreweries in offering “growlers,” takehome containers. “We’ve learned from the beer industry how to do things differently,” Jooste, said noting he’s done away with bottles in part because “70 percent of all bottles end up in landfills. Why not use reuse them (bottles)?” Jooste asked, adding that bottles also use preservatives and other ingredients that he noted tend to “remove a bit of character from the wine.” Jooste said he signed a three-year lease, with a two-year option, to set up his wine shop, which he hopes to formally open in July. “We will be serving appetizers,” Jooste said while pointing out his new space is not big enough for a commercial kitchen. Jooste invited Bird Rock community planners and residents over to his place for a taste test after the meeting. George Freiha, of the city’s
La Jolla Cove sea lions was the main topic of discussion at La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc.’s April meeting, which also touched on the La Jolla Cove Pavilion project, Whale View Point shoreline enhancement and the need for more seagull-proof trash cans. Dan Simonelli, head of the Cove Swim Club, said the sea lion problem is “getting out of hand,” pointing out sea lions are now fouling the Cove beach and the steps leading down to it. “It’s really becoming a public safety and cleanliness issue,” Simonelli said, adding he’s seen people walking through and children playing in affected areas not knowing what they’re blundering into.
Department of Public Works, gave an update on the Midway Bluff repair project, designed to stabilize the landform. “Previous storms caused water to go over and erode the bluffs overlooking the ocean,” Freiha told the council. “We are finishing the design right now.” Freiha said restoration of the bluff face will involve building a supporting wall as well as restoring droughttolerant landscaping to the affected area. He added the city will maintain the landscaping for 26 months to allow it to take hold. “Project design will be finished around the end of June, with construction anticipated to start between September and October and last about six months,” he said. The city official said construction will be done weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. “It’s good; we’re glad it's happening,” said Bird Rock resident Don Schmidt. “This has been really bad for 15 years.” In other action: • BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar noted an oft-damaged community bench in front of Lupi’s Italian restaurant has been struck yet again. Chair Jacqueline Bell suggested residents report the defacing of public property by emailing info@birdrockcc.org. She added that, if possible, it might not be a bad idea for people to take photos with their iPhones of any destructive activity going on in Bird Rock. • Bird Rock kindergarten teacher Lorraine LaCava said the elementary school’s annual open house will be Thursday, May 28, starting at 6 p.m.
See our related story on page 1. “Something needs to be done to clean it up on a daily basis,” Simonel-
li said, suggesting some kind of gate mechanism might be installed to “close it (stairs) off at night” and discourage sea lions from going where
they’re unwanted. Simonelli added he’s even witnessed marine mammals on the Cove stairs impeding lifeguards in the performance of their duties, forcing them to go out of their way to avoid the marine mammals. “Every day, the sea lions get more habituated to being there,” said board member Bill Robbins. “I would like the city to continue to investigate the gate. We’re concerned about the safety of people and lifeguards.” Longtime La Jolla resident Melinda Merryweather said the worsening situation at the Cove has turned into a “nightmare.” “It’s an accident waiting to happen,” concluded Simonelli.
SANDAG launches mini-grant program to promote school transportation The San Diego Association of Governments has launched its new Walk, Ride and Roll to School minigrant program to help increase active transportation and safety education and implementation of ideas on the topic throughout the region. In support of International Walk to School Day in October, minigrants of up to $1,500 will be awarded to public or private schools or school districts to help develop programs or projects that educate and encourage active forms of transportation to and from school or that promote pedestrian and bike safety around schools. Funded through the association's iCommute program, a total of $30,000 in grant funding is available. The mini-grants empower schools by giving them the resources and flexibility they need to organize events
and programs that work best for their students. Approved projects and programs will take place between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30. Funds may be used toward event expenses such as permits and supplies, marketing materials and student incentives. Examples of eligible programs and projects include events or fairs that promote and encourage students to walk, bike, skate or ride a scooter to school. Other concepts could include bike rodeos and safety obstacle courses for students; a walking school bus or bike train program; classes related to bike and pedestrian safety; and contests that challenge and reward students for using active transportation. iCommute will accept applications through May 22. The request for grant applications, complete eligibility criteria and application forms are
available on the Walk, Ride and Roll to School event web page. Completed applications should be submitted by email to iCommute consultant Maggie Li at schools#sandag.org. Questions relating to the mini-grants may also be directed to Li. iCommute, managed by the association, is the gateway to transportation choices in the San Diego region. Walk, Ride and Roll to School is an annual awareness effort implemented through iCommute. The goals of the program are to increase the number of children who walk, bike, skate or ride a scooter to school; raise awareness of the benefits of more active forms of transportation; and promote pedestrian and bike safety. For more information, call 511 and say “Schools” or email schools@sandag.org.

Walsh said Booppanon should have known that the medications' instructions stated that a person should not use them and drive. Walsh said she put others in danger, and he denied probation because a death occurred. Deputy District Attorney Mackenzie Harvey urged seven years in prison, stating that Booppanon was driving at 68 miles an hour in a 45-mile-an-hour zone. Booppanon, Harvey said, showed “total disregard for public safety. “Our position is this is not an accident,” Harvey, said, adding Booppanon was playing the “blame game” by citing her medical problems and the suicides of two coworkers. Casey said Booppanon left the Air Force after 14 years and was declared 100 percent disabled because she had taken an inoculation that resulted in liver disease.

Air Force vet receives five years in Pacific Beach man's traffic death A packed courtroom watched the April 27 sentencing of a disabled Air Force veteran to five years in state prison for killing a Pacific Beach man in a crash on La Jolla Village Drive while she was under the influence of prescription drugs. Attorneys for Soranon Booppanon, 40, asked that she be placed on probation in a veteran’s program and presented some top Air Force officials who testified on her behalf. Booppanon pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter of George Matteson, 77, killed instantly on Oct. 23, 2013 when Booppanon ran a red light and struck two cars and a truck at the intersection of La Jolla Village Drive and Genesee Avenue. She also pleaded guilty to being under the influence of drugs and injuring Betty Matteson, 74, George's wife. She was also fined $2,174. Defense attorney G. Cole Casey told San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh that Booppanon took the pain medications and tranquilizers the night before and that

Casey said she also suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. Retired Brig. Gen. Walter Jones told the judge that Booppanon was once responsible for cruise missile control command at an air force base. Col. Burnett Peters, who said he flew missions in Bosnia and Iraq, said Booppanon was his designated second officer. Both men said she didn’t know her medications affected her driving. Casey unsuccessfully urged Walsh to suspend a prison term and allow her to be admitted to a veterans residential program. He said she has no prior record and that alcohol was not a factor in the crash. Booppanon did not testify at her trial. Due to her disabilities, Booppanon might be housed at a prison medical facility. Walsh allowed her to remain free on own recognizance until May 4, setting a hearing for May 19 to determine credits. – Neal Putnam

Ask Ask The The Trust Trust & & Estate Estate Attorney Attorney Question:
SM
My parent wants to leave some money to their caregiver, can they do that?
Oh my goodness, if that question does not raise the hackles on the back of your neck, it should. There is a specific CA Probate code section 21350 that prohibits someone that is a caregiver from being named a beneficiary in the will or trust of the person for whom they are caring. The law holds someone that is in a close, fiduciary relationship to a high standard and it assumes undue influence was used by the caregiver to get the person to include them in their will or trust. The purpose of this law is so that elders who may not be able to resist undue influence have their assets and estate plan safe guarded. There is a way to accomplish a gift to caregivers, but it requires that two attorneys be involved.

Joblessness led to San Diego Beer & Wine Tours In 2010, La Jolla resident Shira Bliss was in between jobs walking the beaches when she had an epiphany. “You know that saying, ‘Do what you what you love to do and the money will follow?’” she asked. “I love to walk and drink good wine and eat good food. So I marched up to Café Milano, and I said, ‘How about I bring tourists and locals to taste your food and wine and that will get you more business?’” It worked. “I live here,” Bliss said, “and I was able to support my fellow merchants while providing a job for myself.” Five years later, she's expanded La Jolla Wine Tours, her one-person enterprise, beyond the Jewel to include other parts of San Diego, including the Gaslamp Quarter downtown. Now known as San Diego Beer &
Wine Tours, the business, which has nine employees including five tour guides, is still growing. “Our very first tours,” Bliss said, “showcased the restaurants and wine bars — La Jolla Brewery, Café Milano, Chedi Thai, Café Laureate and Finch’s — here in La Jolla.” Meanwhile, she noted, her repertoire has expanded as well to include winery-chauffered tours, winery train tours, even a beer train trolley tour. “Altogether, we’ve partnered with about 35 wineries, breweries and restaurants,” Bliss said, adding her guests can please their palates with fine local libations and culinary creations. “Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelor/bachelorette party or just want to have a great time, San Diego Beer and Wine Tours has the perfect tasty adventure for you,” she said.
Summer Camps
Best of all, said Bliss, is that her partners are strictly local. “We don’t go to the commercial wineries in Temecula in Riverside County,” she said. “Our mission is to promote family-run businesses, and we want to promote local.” Bliss said tour guests get VIP treatment and are fed gourmet farm-totable food on every tour, which also allows them to sample a dozen or more beers or wines while guides clue them in on the latest news and trends in the beer and wine scene. Bliss noted that her tours include sightseeing in some of San Diego’s most attractive areas. Her tours also include interactive, educational events, like taste testings wherein clients are schooled on the history, background and particulars surrounding any given spirit. “We often host corporate groups in their hotels or bring them to wineries or breweries,” Bliss said,

adding, “You get to see the very best of San Diego. So it’s not just a wine or a beer tour.” San Diego Beer & Wine Tours is also “green” in that guests can minimize fuel emissions by taking the Coaster train or trolley to San Diego’s
breweries and wineries rather than driving their own vehicles. The tour business is in the process of hiring more staff and acquiring additional vehicles, necessary because tours are hosted every day of the year except Christmas, New Year's and Thanksgiving. Bliss said she can accommodate one individual or up to several hundred people on her tours. “It’s a super-fun time,” promised Bliss, adding her business partners have been appreciative of their relationship. “La Jollans have thanked us for boosting their businesses,” Bliss said, adding, “We’ve been very happy to be able to support them and help them grow.” Tours run daily, year-round, by appointment.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Park Row falls victim to business community I'm writing to once again talk about issues in the Park Row area. Our streets are in horrible condition, with curbs broken and trash everywhere. The concern for the business community is that employees park in our neighborhood, as we have a 72-hour parking restriction that allows waiters, clerks et cetera to park all day and into the night without paying or being ticketed. The issue is that trash et cetera is never cleaned. I've lived on Park Row for four
years now, and not once has the gutter area of the street been swept. The street cleaner does come every other month (on the third Thursday), but when he arrives at 9 a.m., the street is filled with folks working in the Village, and thus the area where trash builds is never cleaned. You can only imagine the items of trash that accumulates – or maybe you can't (i.e., this week, human waste, with towels to wipe it with, was left across the street from my home on the circle on Park Row).
I suggest that the business community take a closer look at how the employees affect the neighborhoods of our Village with employee parking, et cetera. How do we get someone to clean the human waste in the street where maybe "visitors" might park? The Park Row area is a victim here. Thanks for listening. Ed Witt, La Jolla
CHANGING HANDS A Chicago real estate investment firm announced April 28 its plan to sell its interest in the landmark Hyatt Regency La Jolla in a deal valued at $118 million. Strategic Hotels and Resorts reportedly intends to sell the 417-room hotel to affiliates of Chicago's Walton Street Capital and California's JMA Ventures. The sale will close during the year's second fiscal quarter and will retire $89 million in Strategic debt. Strategic also owns a number of high-end properties, among them the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel and the Loews Santa Monica Beach. The hotel is located at 3777 La Jolla Village Drive, and it's no doubt familiar to you. COURTESY PHOTO

UC construction boom: Can traffic be far behind? By SANDY LIPPE
Traffic lines are the only things missing from this University City panorama – just wait'll the construction picks up. COURTESY PHOTO
North University City is exploding with construction projects like the Mid-Coast Trolley and Westfield UTC. The April 8 University City Community Association meeting crowd heard from two speakers: John Haggarty, of Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project, and John Alderson, who represented the Westfield expansion efforts. Haggarty said the 11-mile extension of the Trolley Blue Line will go from Old Town to Westfield parallel to I-5 for most of the ride. The nine new stations will include an elevated Nobel Drive station, a V.A. hospital station and two stations on the UCSD campus – Pepper Canyon and Voigt Drive. Executive Drive will have an aerial station too, and five of the stations will have parking. According to Haggarty, 21,000 trolley boardings a day will occur. Voters approved the $2 billion trolley project in 2004. The federal government is underwriting $1 billion. Who will ride the trolley when it opens in 2019? Looking at today's riders, folks going from home to work or school often use the trolley already. More than 53 percent use boarding passes. Full construction will commence in 2016, and operational hours (4:30 a.m. to 1 a.m.) should meet most people's needs in 2019. If you want to follow progress, check out sandag.org/ midcoast. Westfield project manager Alderson painted a beautiful picture of the future Westfield Shopping Center at UTC, where the transit station will be housed. The new and huge Nordstrom will be on Genesee Avenue and feature a restaurant and coffee bar as well as retail. There will be 2,000 new parking spaces and two hours' free parking. Seven to ten restaurants with farmto-table quality will be added. The community room will adjoin a 13,000-square-foot patio. Construction dates run from next month to June of 2017. Alderson requested only this of the audience: “I ask for your patience.”
Sears and 24-Hour Fitness will stay open during the construction. The parking structure on Genesee will expand from Macy's to the pedestrian bridge. Imagine UC 2020 The buzz around South University City is about Imagine UC 2020. A second meeting drew a large crowd eager to hear about what could possibly be the dream of the neighborhood – a joint-use project around Standley Park between the school district and the city. With Mayor Kevin Faulconer's emphasis on "safe and livable" neighborhoods, locals listened to ideas presented at an earlier meeting. Facilities manager Lee Dulgeroff talk about current and future projects at University City High School, Standley Middle School and Spreckels, Curie and Doyle Elementary. Afterward, people broke into small groups to talk about a proposed aquatic center serving schools and community, a pavilion for school and community performances, a jogging path around the perimeter of Standley Park and calming traffic suggestions to make the area inviting and safe. University City is alive with activity that will improve the neighborhood, but the potential for traffic congestion is not to be denied. The possibility of stationing a "fast response" team, part of the fire department, in South UC is good news as traffic increases the next couple of years. City priorities for fiscal year 2016 almost reads like the Pledge of Allegiance. City priorities include repairing streets, investing in infrastructure, safe and livable neighborhoods, economic prosperity and opportunity in every community, excellent customer service and open government. This month, the public will be invited to weigh in on budget priorities at public hearings in front of City Council. UC should be well represented.
Community QUAKE >> CONT. FROM PG. 1
“Everything that was not made with rebar and concrete, like brick walls, fell,” he said. “The world heritage site at Dubar Square (Nepal’s old royal palaces) was just in utter ruins.” Schindler said there were no bodies visible in the streets. “But you knew there were people under the rubble,” he said, adding, “There were areas where whole buildings collapsed.” Schindler was also caught off guard by the indigenous polytheistic population's reaction to the earthquake. “Most of the people there are Hindi or Buddhist, and this wasn’t the shifting of tectonic plates to them,” he said. “This was displeasing the gods. That was their view of why this happened. And anytime we had an aftershock, they thought, ‘The gods are still angry at us.’” A world traveler by his own admission who’s been to 50 or 60 countries, Schindler always packs a first-aid kit. But the contents couldn’t help him much in the hardscrabble, post-quake world he found himself a part of. As disturbing as the calamity was, dealing with its aftereffects, which deprived everyone of the necessities of modern life — power, water, food,

shelter et cetera — was just as disconcerting. “Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people were camped out on the streets under tarps or in tents,” Schindler said. “There was no electricity. With the toilets, the water flushed once, and it was done.” Schindler said he was forced to subsist on a daily diet of bottled water, chocolate and crackers. Near the end, there was some fruit being sold, oranges and bananas, in the disaster area; Schindler used these to supplement his meager diet. But then Schindler ran into the
most vexing problem of all – how to exit the country in the aftermath of a catastrophe that completely disrupted communication. “Their airport, the only one in the whole country, was in pandemonium,” Schindler said. “You couldn’t even get another ticket because the Internet was down.” There were long lines at the airport, with crowds of panicked, desperate travelers seeking any way out of the country. Schindler said he finally managed to find a satellite office of his airline in Katmandu that had electrical power because of a generator. But he was able to find only the neighborhood it was in, no exact street address. Miraculously, he found the office with the aid of a cabbie. Then he was asked by an airline attendant the words he was longing to hear: “Would you like to leave tonight?” A week or so later, at home with Farmer, his golden retriever, Schindler spoke of what he’d learned from the experience and how much he appreciates being home. “My happiest times have been taking my dog to OB Dog Beach,” he said, adding, “I also appreciate having an inside bathroom next to my room with a toilet that flushes. That’s just a luxury to me.” Of his experience, Schindler concluded, “It humbles you.”
LOCAL HEROES About 6,000 runners competed in the 34th annual La Jolla Half Marathon on Sunday, April 26, which started at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and ended about 90 minutes later in La Jolla Cove's Scripps Park. Only two (one male, one female) can win, however – and this time, San Diegans Kosuke Amano and Jillian Dyer did the honors in their respective divisions. La Jolla's Nick Sigmon repeated as the men's division 5K champ, with Kristen Schleicher of Solana Beach passing everybody in the women's 5K. The halfmarathon is a yearly staple for the La Jolla Kiwanis Club, which uses the proceeds toward several of its charitable causes. COURTESY PHOTO

Sports Memorial set for local Little League icon On August 16, 1914, the Indianapolis Hoosiers, with future Hall of Famers Edd Roush and Bill McKechnie in the lineup, destroyed the Pittsburgh Rebels 21-6 in Federal League action. That same day, Jim Carroll was born, in Winchester, Ind., 80 miles northeast of the capital city. In 1926, the Carroll family moved to San Diego, and 12-year-old Jim found a paradise where he could play baseball year-round. He was a star athlete at La Jolla High School and later played for the La Jolla Kiwanis baseball team in the 1930s and 1940s. The day after their wedding in 1936, Jim and his new bride, Lucille, attended a doubleheader between the fledgling San Diego Padres and Seattle Indians in the old Pacific Coast League at Lane Field. For the next 75 years, the couple's shared love of baseball was instilled in their sons, Tim and Jim Jr. Both boys were diamond standouts at Mission Bay High School. Tim spent three years in the Boston Red Sox farm system, and Jim Jr. was allleague at Chico State University. The senior Mr. Carroll was in the grocery business in La Jolla from the 1930s until his retirement in the 1980s, when he sold his interest in the La Jolla Shores Market. In 1952, Jim Carroll was one of the first Little League coaches in San Diego. The next year, he helped organize the North Shore Little League for Pacific Beach and La Jolla. North Shore played in the 1955 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.
Despite the success of the North Shore Little League, Carroll would have preferred less emphasis on tournaments and winning. He believed all the boys on the roster should learn to play the game and that there should be “a good educational program for parents in regard to their actions and attitudes around the ballparks.” In 2005, the Carrolls relocated to Orland, near Chico, Lucille died in 2011 at age 94. Jim Carroll, Sr. celebrated his 100th birthday last summer. He died shortly after on March 3, 2015. Today, few people remember the 1914 Indianapolis Hoosiers baseball

team, but hundreds of grandfathers who grew up in Pacific Beach and La Jolla remember Jim Carroll. They passed the same love and respect for the game of baseball to their sons and grandsons that coach Carroll had taught to them as boys.

Fashion Week's Viva la V event tells the full story Fashion Files
Diana Cavagnaro
The Viva la V Series, part of the year's events staged by Fashion Week San Diego as a preview of upand-coming designs and designers, continued at the La Valencia Hotel La Jolla on April 23. The event featured Fashion Week designers A'doreus & Gfash, whose show included some informal modeling. A'doreus is a plus- size label created by designer Sharlene Borromeo, voted last year's top Fashion Week designer. This full-figure collection embraces diversity, as many of the designs use a combination of fabrics and textiles. One of the creations
Hailey Toohey had fun sketching for the folks at the Ricky Drawstring event. PHOTOS BY DIANA CAVAGNARO
Borromeo showed was a printed fabric created on an iPhone. She created this with the San Diego artist Urban Fish Design, LLC. Most recently, she received a proclamation from the City and an award from the California Assembly and state Senate for her contribution and community service as a Filipino in the visual arts. Gfash is an accessory line operated by Gwendolyn Bates. The goal at Gfash is making women feel fabulous with each product. The beautiful jewelry complemented the A'doreus collection as models went from table to table showing off the fashions. Bates also displayed a table so everyone could see her beautiful jewelry. The accessories could be worn for day or evening. Gfash is also involved with organizations that have confidence-building programs for girls and women. Bates started the Glam Vendor Fair for women entrepreneurs. Fashion Week San Diego will be held in La Jolla from Oct. 1 to 4. Stay tuned for details or visit fashionweeksd.com. The Ricky Drawstring live illustration event took place on April 23 in the Ralph Lauren store in La Jolla. This champagne reception was for all their loyal customers and was the official launch of the Ricky Drawstring Bag. One clever addition to the event was the delicious cookies decorated with the image of the Ricky Drawstring Bag. Illustrator Hailey Toohey was on hand to
Not to be missed On Friday and Saturday, May 8 and 9, Bach Collegium presents the finale of its San Diego season with “A Tale of Two Cities.” No, not the Charles Dickens – this is a musical exploration of Giacomo Carissimi’s oratorio “Jepthe” and Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s miniature tragedy in music, “Actéon.” It all starts at 7 p.m. May 8 at St. James by the Sea Episcopal Church, La Jolla, and May 9 at San Diego History Center, Balboa Park. $25-$45 (students, $10). bachcollegiumsd.org/web/ events.aspx. There are exciting plans in the works for Darko Tresnjak, former artistic director of the Old Globe Shakespeare Festival. In May of 2016 at his home-theater Hartford Stage, Tresnjak (who got the Tony Award for “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder”) will direct a new musical titled “Anastasia.” The story concerns
an exiled/reportedly dead Russian princess who surfaces in Paris in the 1920s. The book is by Terrence McNally. The lyrics are by Lynn Ahrens and the music by Stephen Flaherty – the duo that brought us “Ragtime.” Tresnjak will stage “Kiss Me, Kate” at The Old Globe in July. Five-time Tony Award winner McNally (“Love, Valour, Compassion”) wrote the libretto for Jake Heggie’s new opera, “Great Scott,” which premieres in Dallas this fall and plays at San Diego Opera next season. Directing “Great Scott” is another familiar talent, Jack O’Brien, former artistic director of The Old Globe. Stephen Adly Guirgis, whose works have been produced in local theaters, has just received the Pulitzer Prize for drama for his latest, “Riverside and Crazy.” His other plays, all produced in San Diego, include “Our Lady of 121st Street,” “In Arabia, We’d All Be Kings,” “Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train,”

Anna Marie Jarvis, who was never a wife or mom herself, died in bitter regret as the spearhead for what we know as Mother's Day. What began as her successful campaign for the formal recognition of “the woman who has done more for you than anyone on the world” became a parody of itself in time – the candy, floral and greeting card industries had a field day at the expense of her genuine public sentiment. Mother's Day was the country's second largest consumer holiday amid a $19 billion expenditure in 2014, with Anna fervently decrying its capitalist foundations a generation before, until her dying day on Nov. 24, 1948 at age 84. Anna's story isn't unknown to those who see Mother's Day as the loving tribute it's supposed to be. She'd lobbied tirelessly for nine years to establish it, even quitting her good job with a finance company to eke out more time, until President Wilson proclaimed it a national holiday in 1914. This year, we're heading into our second century of Mother's Days, which is to say that the tribute has long ago taken on a life of its own.

12 Healthy Lifestyles The Effectiveness of Smiling Lovely Heritage Place is an oasis of local history Doing it Better FRIDAY · MAY 8, 2015 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone. These are the first two lines of Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s 1883 poem “Solitude.” Little did she know that this thought was the precursor of contemporary cognitive science, which has discovered the mechanism behind empathy: mirror neurons. When we get excited at a football game, cry during a sad movie or turn away from some horror depicted on a TV screen, it is because our brains think that what we see and hear is happening to us. This is why I no longer go to movies depicting events that will upset me or create lasting images of horror in my brain. On the other hand, when we watch something funny or read about a touching love story, we feel good inside. Our neurons mirror our perceptions of others’ feelings. We are wired to imitate behaviors — we yawn and cough when others do. We react to others’ moods and behaviors, and others react to ours. Knowing this allows us to take more control over others’ reactions than we might otherwise think possible. Just by smiling, we can elicit smiles in others and maybe even lift their moods. Servers make better tips and salespeople sell more when they
smile. But smiling goes well beyond reciprocity. Smiling people are seen as more trust-worthy, more approachable. Workers are not only seen as more competent when they smile, they become more creative and more productive. We have all heard the expression “Mind over matter.” Our thoughts influence our bodies on a cellular level. Positive thoughts induce physical relaxation, which in turn reduces stress and gives us the confidence to forge ahead and take action. Our brains can be trained to be more positive by smiling more throughout the day. Even though we may not feel like it, using our facial muscles to form a smile causes our brains to think something nice is happening and release feel-good hormones that boost our moods. Others smiling at us also feeds our reward systems. If we can change someone’s mood by smiling at them, we can also change a group’s affect by our behavior. We have all been in boring groups, complaining groups, ineffective groups. Each one of us as a member of the group shares a responsibility for the group’s improvement. If we are in a boring group, we can ask a question or share something for others to respond to. In a complaining group, we can change the focus by saying: “Is there anything good or positive we can say about the topic?” In an ineffective group, we can ask if we are focusing on the topic. I am not saying that this will always work; sometimes, it is impossible to improve the group’s performance or mood. However, it is always
worthwhile to make the effort. We can change the tenor of our voices, our body posture, eye contact, and, of course, smile. I don’t want to sound Pollyanna-ish by saying you should walk around grinning all day. Smiling is just one behavior you can control and use for your own benefit as well as that of others. It does not negate the use of empathy, which is needed when responding to someone else’s distress. We can protect ourselves up to a point but not to the extent that we become inured to the feelings of others. On the one hand, we are advised to surround ourselves with positive people, eschew negative ones, visualize success in our endeavors. On the other hand, we also need to be there with empathy for the friends who need our understanding of their problems, which we can only do by feeling what they are feeling and thus be truly helpful. And so I’ll put a twist on Ella Wheeler Wilcox’s time-tested wisdom: Smile and the world will smile with you, cry and hope someone will cry with you too. -- 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.

When we moved to our Barber Tract home in 1987, we saw Heritage Place every day – one of the many pleasures of living in the neighborhood. Even now, every time I see these endearing homes, they have the uncanny capacity to make me smile. The late La Jolla resident, author and noted San Diego preservationist Patricia Schaelchlin, along with her husband Bob, came up with the idea for Heritage Place - La Jolla in the 1970s. The concept was modeled after Heritage Park in Old Town, where endangered Victorian homes were moved to prevent their demolition. Determined to preserve some of La Jolla's endangered homes, the Schaelchlins purchased a property at 7210 La Jolla Blvd., a property designated historical in 1978. The designation meant they could move several endangered cottages to the 1/3-acre lot that spans a block in the Barber Tract. Today, Heritage Place comprises three early La Jolla homes: The Rhoads Cottage, The Galusha Grow Cottage and The Martha Corey House. At one time, La Jolla was filled with many similar homes, but as the years went by, most of these were demolished to make way for new development. Today, only a handful remain in our community. The Rhoads House was moved to the La Jolla Boulevard location from 104446 Wall St. in 1928 by its owner, Horace Rhoads. Originally designated a duplex, it was already on the La Jolla Boulevard

site when the Schaelchlins purchased the property, After Rhoads moved the structure to the site, he made it into his residence. Rhoads was a newspaperman and the vice president and general manager of the West Coast "penny papers." The 1895 landmark, Galusha B. Grow Cottage, was moved to Heritage Place in 1979 from 7831 Ivanhoe Ave. This cheerful Victorian Vernacular home is recognized throughout La Jolla as The Yellow Cottage. Galusha Grow was well known in San Diego banking circles and was also a fire commissioner. The last home moved to Heritage Place was the home of La Jolla's first female doctor, Martha Corey. The Corey House is a Victorian bungalow built in the early 1900s. Corey lived in and ran her medical practice from the home. During its lifetime, the home had been moved to several locations in La Jolla before finding a home at Heritage Place in 2003. The Schaelchlins sold Heritage Place in 2001, but it remains a lasting tribute to

Dining Mama’s Kitchen: Mother of all food festivals What began 25 years ago as a humble fundraiser involving several chefs helping to spur donations for Mama’s Kitchen has today become the Cadillac of food events in San Diego. The annual Mama’s Day culinary extravaganza, to be held from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. May 8 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, brings together the crème de la crème of local chefs and restaurants doling out their latest and greatest culinary creations. More than 55 of them are taking part. “It’s a smorgasbord of tastes that is pretty much unequaled in San Diego,” says Mama’s Kitchen Executive Director Alberto Cortes, adding that last year’s event raised $150,000. The monies are used each year for providing nutritional support to men, women and children affected by AIDS/HIV or cancer. Since its inception in 1990, the event has raised nearly $3 million, which also afforded the nonprofit agency a chance to move its kitchen and pantry from a basement church in Bankers Hill into a gleaming industrial kitchen in City Heights four years ago. Food stations at the event dominate the hotel’s indoor pavilion. Grazing through the entire track requires a ravenous appetite, as guests are faced with gourmet preparations of meat, seafood, seasonal vegetables, pasta and eye-popping desserts.

Among the restaurants taking part from La Jolla is The Hake Kitchen & Bar, a newcomer to the event that will serve ahi tuna on brioche crostini with wasabi crème fraiche and house-made teriyaki sauce. The dish will be added to the restaurant’s appetizer menu in a few weeks. The Hake’s managing partner, Ricardo Dondisch, says he was drawn to participating in the fundraiser because “the work that Mama’s Kitchen does in terms of food and nourishment is very important to San Diego County. And the event itself includes very respectable restaurants doing interesting things – and we
wanted to be part of that.” Coming onboard for the 24th year in a row is Chef Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room. Known in past years for ladling out his famous lobster bisque, he’ll instead provide sugar fixes to the crowd with elderberry panna cotta draped in spring berry compote, fennel crystals and candied almonds.

The Mother of Moms
FRIDAY · MAY 8, 2015 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
JARVIS >> CONT. FROM PG. 11
Such staying power doesn't evolve without a colossal central historical source – and as Anna led the crusade for a national statement on mothers and motherhood, it's maybe worth knowing a little more about the maternal object of her affections. Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis was born in Culpepper, Va. on Sept. 30, 1832 – from then on, life became a terribly brutal prospect. Ann would give birth to 13 children in 17 years; only four of them survived to adulthood, with things like measles and diphtheria claiming the rest. With every loss came a new resolve, fueled by a bond that excels life itself – and soon, Ann became exponentially bigger than her tragedies, harnessing her energies into what she called Mothers' Day Work Clubs, set up to address sanitation, homelessness and child safety during the Civil War. Even as Virginia had become a bloody hotbed of Confederate support, the clubs recognized

If all this reading has made you hungry... you might want to consider these mealtime alternatives, with all due respect to Ann and Anna: Beaumont's, the Bird Rock staple that always seems to have the specials vibe covered, is offering an Acoustic Sunday Brunch for the big day, with entrees like salmon Benedict, red velvet waffles, watermelon salad, spring veggie omelet, crab omelet and special “mom” drinks. The “acoustic” part means you can eat in peace alongside the light entertainment, knowing that the whole day didn't cost you a second mortgage. Beaumont's is at 5662 La Jolla Blvd. For more abut this special, see beaumontseatery.com or call (858) 459-0474. Don't forget that The Shores has that neat hotel around back – but before you draw your plans for an evening's lasciviousness, you might want to fill up on the eatery's Mother's Day buffet. $49 per person gets you familiar appetizers like an All-American cheese board and a bowl of New
England clam chowder or odd-sounding main courses like Cardamom Clove glazed ham and macadamiacrusted butterfish. Food is the second guilty pleasure, after all; the first may be lurking around the nearest corner for those who feel the need to indulge in that sort of thing. The Shores is at 8110 Camino del Oro; to find out more, go to theshoresrestaurant.com or call (866) 644-2630. And then there's George's at the Cove (you didn't think we'd leave out one of the granddaddies, didja?). George's serves brunch only twice a year (the other one's on Easter) – so here's your chance to get in on a rare event and cool dishes like grilled octopus and crab omelet. And don't be afraid of the weird cocktail called Xolo, the black salt around the rim won't hurt you in the least. George's is a hit every day, and its efforts toward mom's comfort once a year certainly don't go unnoticed. For more about George's, at 1250 Prospect St., see georgesatthecove.com or pick up the phone for once and dial (858) 4544244.
Restaurants from the greater San Diego area taking part include Pacifica Del Mar, The Oceanaire Seafood Room, Great Maple, Café Champagne, The Red Door and many more. “The event makes for healthy competition among the chefs, where they get to check out each other’s dishes while connecting with each other in a festive atmosphere,” adds Cortes.
can start competing for them now on their home computers and smartphones by visiting mamaskitchen.org and clicking onto the “events” page. Cortes says over the past several years the event has attracted between 600 and 800 people. “Given the hotel’s spacious pavilion, we’ve never had to close the doors on anyone,” he adds
General admission to Mama’s Day is $125 in advance (online) and $150 at the door. VIP tickets are $250, which includes early entrance into the event at 5:30 p.m., plus a hosted bar and cooking demos by Sam Zien. Hyatt Regency La Jolla is located at 3777 La Jolla Village Drive. For more information, call Mama’s Kitchen at (619) 233-6262.
Emceeing the evening is Susan DeVincent of KyXy 96.5. She’ll be joined by culinary host Sam (the Cooking Guy) Zien, who will demonstrate Asian-inspired fried rice griddlecakes and other dishes on innovative EVO grills in the VIP lounge. The event also features a silent auction on a variety of getaway packages, concerts and cooking classes. Bidders

I hate to say it, but I think many people would prefer to bury their head in the sand like an ostrich, than to accept that something very significant in their life has changed. Let’s face it, sometimes that’s just easier! When it comes to accepting you, or a family member is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease how-
ever, 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!

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Dated: April 16, 2015 FEIST, VETTER, KNAUF AND LOY, APC, as Trustee By: Lisa M.

How many eyes does a dragonfly have?
All those eyes let the dragonfly see in all directions, even behind. PHOTO BY LINDA MARRONE
By LINDA MARRONE One of our most beautiful and beneficial insects is the dragonfly – and recently, I’ve observed several bright orange dragonflies flying about my garden. A true garden assassin, the dragonfly feeds on flies, gnats, mosquitoes and other small flying insects. In fact, most dragonflies will eat up to fifty mosquitoes per day. Unlike many insects, dragonflies are strictly carnivores and are not attracted to flowers and plants, but they are attracted to the insects that are attracted to flowers. With four dainty but powerful wings, the dragonfly is considered the world’s fastest flying insect. Unlike other winged insects, the dragonfly has great acrobatic mobility, due to the fact that the front and back wings beat in opposite directions. Studies show the dragonfly also possesses a flying technique that can produce an optical illusion, making it look as though it is in a stationary position and thus fooling its prey during aerial combat before it attacks. Large multifaceted eyes also assist the dragonfly in hunting and capturing his prey. Each eye has more than 30,000 light-sensing
facets that are actually 30,000 tiny eyes in each eye. This eye structure allows the dragonfly to detect the slightest movement and lets it see in all directions, even completely behind. I was able to get quite close to the dragonfly in my garden and observed its large eyes rotating as he looked at me. It was fascinating. The dragonfly's life cycle begins when the female lays her eggs in water or near the water's edge. Her eggs may be laid directly in the water or on aquatic or nearby grassy vegetation. After hatching, the baby dragonfly nymph lives underwater, where it will spend most of its life. The tiny nymph does not resemble the adult dragonfly; while underwater, it will feed on tiny water creatures, especially its favorite meal, mosquito larvae. Depending on the species, the dragonfly's nymph state can last from months to years, and once it takes flight, its life span will be only weeks to months. The dragonfly's metamorphosis is much like that of the butterfly – the beautiful dragonfly eventually emerges from the unattractive nymph carcass and fly away on its new, intricately webbed iridescent wings. The adult dragonfly is black and colorless at first, but after a few
days to a week, it will begin to develop its dazzling color, which can range from bright hues of red, orange and golden to blue, green and purple. Many dragonflies bear luminous stripes in contrasting colors down their long, slender bodies. Dragonflies have inhabited the earth for millions of years and have changed very little from their prehistoric form. The oldest fossilized dragonfly is said to be more than 320 million years old. More than 5,000 species of dragonfly call the earth their home, and in North America, we have about 500 different species. North American Indians believed the dragonfly was the essence of the “winds of change” and that it brought with it prosperity and harmony. Many of our world’s dragonflies are beginning to vanish due to deforestation, pesticides and pollution, so I am very happy to see them visit my garden and believe that they do bring a sense of harmony with them when they stop by.

>> CONT. FROM PG. 1
11, speaks four languages (Spanish, French, English and Japanese). For another, he makes the daily trip to school from Chula Vista, 22 miles to the south, leaving plenty of time for conversations with kids less linguistically endowed. He's a walking example of the French- American School's worldly outlook on education, happily citing the reasons he thinks it works. “I have a lot of friends here,” he said, “and I like that they come in and out from year to year. It's nice to talk about where they're from, and we do it in more than one language, which helps to get a bigger idea of the person's life. We really are just a big family.” But “family” connotes a lot of different things. At this school, and in the traditions of the best educational ideals, the word fuels a historical state of mind. Manageable enrollment (about 350, the school's maximum capacity) and class sizes (optimally one teacher for every 10 students) not only enhance the student-teacher comfort level; the campus is sometimes sprinkled with children as young as 2 in the pre-elementary program. The lower school comprises first to fifth graders, with sixth to eighth graders in the middle school. About 20 languages and 30 nationalities are represented on campus, and it seems that, as often as not, the instructors are native French speakers. Dual-language immersion programs are endemic at this campus, one of 43 French international schools in the United States. The independent, co-ed school was founded in 1988 in Clairemont before moving to its current space at 6550 Mt. Soledad Road. Recent history has it holding its first open house on May 2, and its international festival two months ago met with great success – but extracurricular activities are only one measure of educa-

tional achievement. Hard science, the arts, math, history and sports hold sway here, with principal Christian Jarlov emphasizing that parents shouldn't draw conclusions amid the school's name. “This is not a French school,” principal and France native Christian Jarlov said, “and this is not an American school. We really should call ourselves something like San Diego International School, because so many different cultures are represented. And the French are... very bad at languages, because they don't really use them, so we feel we're filling a need with our immersion programs.” A small portion of the school's curriculum is taught in English only. And in a world of wholesale technological breakthroughs, the school opts for a sense of restraint. “We teach cursive in first grade,” Jarlov said amid a trace of irony. “Technology can sometimes get in the way of (brain) activity, and we want the students to make the direct connection between the idea and the objective.” “Yeah, our access to technology is limited,” eighth grader Seth Pablo Washabaugh Garcia concurs. “There's a reason for that, because the direct connection is important in language too. “If somebody's having a bad day, you know a little more about why.” That is an absolutely outstanding observation from a young man who totally gets the idea. In our May 22 issue, we'll explore his exponentially deeper meaning.

(NOAA). “However, sea lions are not as easily deterred as other animals. We are also getting pretty close to breeding season, so some males that are present may be exhibiting dominant behavior, which makes deterrence even more challenging. They may perceive the deterrence as a threat to their dominance and may not be as easily scared as, say, a younger animal.” Astoria, Ore., like La Jolla, has a colossal problem with sea lions. Janice Burk, marina manager at the city's Sea Lion Dock, agreed there’s no easy solution to controlling the behavior of aggressive sea lions settling in great numbers. But she said there is one thing that has been tried successfully. “The best thing is activity on your dock and people pushing (not literally) them off,” Burk said, noting the sea lion problem there involves anywhere from 1,500 to 2,400 marine mammals monopolizing the docks. “This year, they showed up two months early,” said Burk, who added the port did “a few different things” to dissuade them from coming in such large numbers. “We put up some orange surveying ribbon,” she said. “It deters them, but it does not keep them from going through it if they want.” Noting sea lions are “very curious animals,” Burk said the pinnipeds are

the couple's tireless preservation efforts. The new owners have accommodated their vision and worked with local architects and planners to design a unique historic compound that serves as a living preserve for these rare cottages. Surrounding these homes are landscaped grounds and gardens that include a collection of oldgrowth palm trees. Beautifully and sensitively restored, the homes now offer the best of old La Jolla charm merged
confused by “something new or different.” Burk said Astoria authorities have managed to keep one dock largely sea lion free by using the orange survey ribbons and by having “people live aboard their vessels and take it upon themselves to continually walk the dock,” which keeps the marine mammals away. DeAngelis concurred with Burk that there is “no silver bullet” for deterring sea lions. “That is why we suggest a toolbox of various deterrent methods rather than trying to only use one,” she said. “We've had very limited success when only one method is employed. It may work, but only for a very short period of time.” DeAngelis also urged that any deterrence be conducted “by someone with some training and/or knowledge of sea lions.” The marine biologist offered some insight into what might possibly be done. “In this situation, the use of ‘crowder boards’ which are typically employed at rehab centers to corral animals at these care facilities to administer care without endangering the safety of the care givers, should be employed in combination with any other non-lethal deterrence method,” she said. “Once the animals are off the area, there needs to be some consistency to ensure that they don't return.” Burk said other methods have been tried unsuccessfully to deter sea lions
in Oregon. “We’ve tried fluorescent green heavier-duty nylon fencing,” she said. “We’ve also tried seal ‘bombs,’ used to make noise. We’ve tried sprinklers on the dock — but it doesn’t work for very long. We even had an electrical company out of Vancouver, Wash., design a mat they have used to deter sea lions on oil platforms. It didn’t work in fresh water the way it did in saltier water.” Burk said officials are now constructing a railing system made with 4-foot-tall steel plates incorporating chicken coop wire or orange construction fencing. “I don’t know that someone has the magic answer,” concluded Burk, adding that Oregon has had a serious sea lion problem for about 30 years. She pointed out the number of sea lions has “almost doubled every year in the last three years.” “We certainly do not encourage the deterrence of (whole) populations, especially in their natural habitat,” DeAngelis said. “However, some of these pinniped populations are expanding their range, and I can certainly foresee more conflict in areas where humans and these expanding populations will overlap. “It's really a matter of being diligent,” added DeAngelis. “If animals begin to show up in an area, it's usually a few at first, and that is when there might be more success at nonlethal deterrence. But it has to be constantly monitored. One can't expect that one can apply a non-lethal deter-

rent and walk away expecting that it will retain its effectiveness.” Noting that the presence of sea lions in La Jolla is “not new,” DeAngelis reiterated that “the public should be aware that these are wild animals. We can't predict their reaction, especially if they are sick or attempting to establish dominance. They should keep their distance. Feeding them is not allowed, nor should the public

take matters into their own hands and attempt to deter these animals.” A list of possible deterrence methods is available at this link: westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov/publications /protected_species/ marine_ mammals/pinnipeds/sea_lion_removals/0 81914_potential_deterrence _methods_w-edps_steller.pdf

On Saturday, May 16th hundreds of real estate investors and service professionals from around the nation will unite in La Jolla for a day of networking, quality content and collaboration at the La Jolla Real Estate Investor, Finance and Tech Expo. Known as the “Crown Jewel” of the California coastline, La Jolla, located in San Diego County, is home to an affluent demographic and attracts both high-end retailers and tourists from around the nation. Fittingly, the La Jolla Real Estate Investor, Finance and Tech Expo will focus primarily on finance and its impact on the real estate investing arena. In addition to providing the first 200 guests with a complimentary print book of “The Insider’s Guide to: Attracting Private Lenders,” by Mark Hanf, author and owner of Pacific Private Money, located in the Bay Area, the La Jolla Real Estate Expo will provide information about realty syndication, private finance, traditional mortgage lending, trust deed investing, and more. Expo guests will receive a memorable event tote bag filled with Realty411’s latest hot-off-the-press publication filled with tips, techniques and strategies from some of the most prolific and successful investors in the country. The La Jolla Real Estate Investor, Finance and Tech Expo will focus heavily on technology and its impact on the real estate sales and investing sectors. For example, Reesio, a Bay Area-based technology company will provide information about their agency software designed to maximize organization, efficiency and marketing. Joining us from San Francisco will be co-founder Mark Thomas, who is one of the leading authorities on technology and its impact on the real estate industry.
Thomas also is the founder of RealTech, an annual technology expo for the realty industry that attracts hundreds of powerful leaders and startups. To maximize online creative tips and techniques, something that Realty411 is known for, a special presentation will also be delivered by Chris Bowser, a well-known educator and owner of Insider Online Secrets. In tradition with past Realty411 Expos, the La Jolla Real Estate Investor, Finance and Tech Expo will request that funds be donated directly to charity in lieu of an admission price. The expo charity of choice is the San Diego Rescue Mission, a local non-profit that reaches millions in need and provides essential services for the local homeless population in San Diego County. A team from the San Diego Rescue Mission will be on-site to receive donations, canned-food items and much-needed supplies, as well as to answer questions and recruit volunteers. Thus far, Realty411 Expos have raised much-needed awareness and thousands of dollars in supplies, food and donations for many charitable organizations, such as: Los Angeles Mission, Toys for Tots, Long Island Cares, Women’s Transitional Living Center, and the Nike Animal Rescue Foundation.
