SO OTHERS MAY LIVE Memorial Day is especially bittersweet in San Diego amid the city's military presence and its longstanding traditions of homage to those who have sacrificed their lives for their country. La Jolla's Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial (above), which will hold its annual memorial ceremony on Monday, May 25, has chosen Marine 1st Lt. Nathan Krissoff (inset), a counterintelligence officer deployed to Iraq on Sept. 6, 2006, as this year's honoree. Krissoff was killed Dec. 9, 2006, following a patrol outside Fallujah. A plaque will be dedicated in Krossoff''s honor at 2 p.m. Krissoff’s parents, Bill and Christine Krissoff of Rancho Santa Fe, will speak at the ceremony. The Mt. Soledad memorial is located at 6905 La Jolla Scenic Drive. Additional information on the facility can be found at soledadmemorial.com. PHOTO BY DON BALCH, INSET COURTESY SOLEDAD MEMORIAL

In May, La Jolla Village Merchants Association voted unanimously to endorse an attempt to use $400,000 in already-collected coastal access and parking funds to pay for a bird and marine mammal waste clean-up at La Jolla Cove. The merchants group also advocated requiring groups hosting
community special events to provide extra trash cans to help with clean-up efforts. Association president CA Marengo said the vexing problem of stench at the Cove caused by waste build-up continues. He noted the association has recently met with

Scripps Health response team to head home from Nepal After spending the last two and a half weeks caring for earthquake victims in remote villages in Nepal, members of the medical response team from La Jolla-based Scripps Health are resting in Katmandu and preparing for the long trip home to San Diego. The five team members have been working under the auspices of the International Medical Corps as part of two medical groups that included physicians and medical responders from other health systems and organizations. The first
Scripps group – corporate vice president Tim Collins, (corporate vice president, operations and research), assistant vice president and registered nurse Debra McQuillen and chief nursing executive Jan Zachry – are already in Katmandu. The second group – senior director of disaster and registered nurse Patty Skoglund and senior director of clinical services Steve Miller – were to follow.

AROUND THE BLOCK: Small, independent businesses are just around the corner Merchants within the Village block section bounded by Silverado Street, Torrey Pines Road and Herschel and Ivanhoe streets are truly diverse, with lots of small businesses and independents represented. “That block of Herschel is mostly service-oriented — beauty, dentists, CPAs et cetera, with the exception of the corner where Come On In, Marketplace Grill, Porkyland et cetera are, on the corner of Torrey Pines Road,” said Realtor Claudette Berwin, a block captain for the La Jolla Village Merchants Association business improvement district. Berwin pointed out that one huge anchor of this merchant area is The Crosby Center, 7730-7742 Herschel Ave. “The Crosby Center is the business center with individual one-person businesses like beauty services, CPAs, psychiatrists, therapists, et cetera,” said Berwin. She added another cornerstone tenant in the
area is La Jolla Village Lodge boutique hotel, at 1141 Silverado, on the corner of Herschel and Silverado. Across from the lodge is Prana Yoga studio, at 1041 Silverado St. Prana’s owner, Gerhard Gessner, said he likes his location and the visibility the corner provides him. “We get quite some business from drive-by and walk-by customers,” said Gessner. “Besides that, being located that close to ‘downtown,’ the main roads of Girard and Prospect, is a bonus.” Pointing out parking and traffic noise from buses and trucks nearby can be limiting factors, Gessner noted a primary advantage of Prana’s strategic location is that it’s in a building that “has been there for a while and is part of ‘old’ La Jolla.” “We are in walking distance from basically everything in town,” said Gessner, citing walkability as the biggest advantage of his location. “We (also) have one of the La Jolla

benches in front of our studio, which is very nice.” The Crosby Center has been a focal point for local merchants for many years. Two tenants in Crosby, Amorah Kelly, owner of Wonderworks Healing Arts, an acupuncture and holistic healing studio at 7742 Herschel Ave., suite Q, and Caran Hardy Bookkeeping at 7742 Herschel Ave., suite C, both say the Crosby Center is the place to be. “I like it here,” said Kelly. “It’s got a small-town feel. It’s got charm. I like the people. I like my office. It’s like a sanctuary, with gardens and ponds and a fountain with koi fish and palm trees.”
Hardy likes the sanctuary aspect too. “It’s because I like the outdoors,” said Hardy, whose office is near a flowing water fountain. “I like hearing the water and seeing the birds come down and take a bath.”
Hardy also likes Crosby Center’s central location, which is ideal for her business. “It’s near banks and restaurants,” she said. “I can walk to the ocean. I’m right in the center of things.” Typical of this area of independent small business owners is Jade J. Schulz Violins, at 7748 Herschel Ave., and Judy Judy Judy, a high-profile local artist whose studio is at 7734 Herschel Ave. “I am a full-service violin shop,” said Schulz, “including retail sales, appraisals, repairs, restorations, accessories and lessons (the school is called San Diego Academy of Strings).” Schulz noted he runs the business himself: “My customers
come from all over San Diego County, even some from Riverside and L.A. counties." "My block is very friendly between business owners,” said Schulz, adding “Volubulis Imports next door is making huge strides in importing Baja wines.” Judy Judy Judy, the name the artist prefers, said her art is inspired by frequent trips to France and elsewhere in the world. Her website notes that most of her paintings “are influenced by the feminine mystique: the femme fatale, the exotic, the ordinary woman… "

Hans Petersen gets two life terms in La Jolla double shooting “You couldn’t ask for more,” said Steven Dowdy on May 15, minutes after his ex-neighbor Hans Antone Petersen was sentenced to staggered terms in state prison for shooting him and an ex-brother-in-law. “I think it’s a very just sentence as well.” Petersen, 51, of University City, was sentenced to two consecutive life terms plus two consecutive terms of 25 years to life for the personal use of a firearm in the Sept. 18, 2013 shootings of Dowdy and real estate agent Ron Fletcher in their La Jolla homes. Petersen’s attorney, Marc Carlos, asked San Diego Superior Court Judge Leo Valentine Jr. to impose one sentence for both shootings and not give consecutive terms. Carlos said Petersen would likely die in prison if he received consecutive terms.
Valentine said he could not impose just one term, noting the jury convicted Petersen March 11 of two counts of premeditated attempted murder with the personal use of a gun in a crime. “He will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison,” said Deputy District Attorney Amy Maund after she argued for consecutive terms. The state legislature has determined that people serving life sentences can be eligible for parole after they serve seven years. If Petersen serves 14 years, he would then start serving the first 25 years to life term. After that has been served, he would then serve the last consecutive sentence of 25 years to life. Petersen was also ordered to pay $13,751 in miscellaneous costs. Dowdy has submitted a claim for $85,881, and a restitution hearing
HANS ANTONE PETERSEN
will be held May 21 as to whether Petersen will be ordered to pay that. Petersen was also given credit for 695 days spent in jail and fined $10,403. “The bullet that went through one side of me and out the other changed my body forever,” said Dowdy, whom Petersen shot in the torso, “leaving large scars and constant pain. I will never be able to go back to who I was before the shooting, not ever.”
Fletcher, a real estate agent in Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and La Jolla, was in the courtroom audience but said nothing. He was shot in the stomach, and his living room security camera caught footage of him fighting with Petersen. The footage was played during Petersen’s threeweek trial. Fletcher’s sister was married to Petersen, but the marriage ended in divorce, and Petersen blamed Fletcher for influencing his ex-wife into selling some property the couple owned. Petersen blamed his actions on a prescription anti-seizure medication he took. He said the drug ruined his life and that he was in a drug and alcoholic blackout during most of the two shootings. Petersen said the whole event “felt like a dream to me.” He said the drug
made him develop paranoia and caused him to lose his job in 2010. He also said he has developed auditory hallucinations, adding, “I’m still hearing things.” His defense claimed that he was unconscious and also intoxicated during the shootings. Petersen testified he only remembered being hit over the head with his own gun by Fletcher and being arrested and bleeding on the floor. “The jury didn’t accept (Petersen’s claim of unconsciousness), and it’s difficult for the court to accept,” said Valentine. “We cannot rehabilitate unconscious behavior.” He told Carlos that Petersen would be eligible for parole at age 80 if he did impose one concurrent term for both shootings. He added that he could not do that. --Neal Putnam
Officer wounded by fleeing suspect leaves hospital A San Diego police officer wounded when a fleeing suspect opened fire during a chase was released from the hospital May 19. Officer Heather Seddon, a fiveyear member of the force, was treated at Sharp Memorial Hospital for bullet wounds to her neck, where a round initially struck her, and shoulder, where it lodged. Seddon and other patrol personnel were running after 34-year-old Dennis Fiel of San Diego on the morning of May 17 in a neighborhood just north of Sharp Memorial Hospital when Fiel pulled a gun and shot her, prompting fellow officers
Joshua Hodge and Mario Larrea to return fire, Lt. Mike Hastings said. Fiel died at the scene. Medics took Seddon to the medical center. Police had come across Fiel — a suspect in a months-long series of noninjury shootings at buildings in Kearny Mesa — as he was driving on Interstate 805 near Convoy Street, according to Hastings. As officers gave chase, Fiel merged onto State Route 163 before exiting at Mesa College Drive, where the pursuing officers lost sight of his vehicle. Police soon spotted the suspect walking nearby, and he fled when
they tried to contact him, Hastings said. Moments later, the volley of gunfire erupted. Body cameras recorded the chase and shootings, Hastings said. Police have reviewed the footage and forwarded it to the District Attorney’s Office, which will determine if the officers’ use of lethal force was justified, the lieutenant said. During a subsequent search of Fiel's home, investigators found an assault rifle, ammunition and a large marijuana-growing setup, according to Hastings. HEATHER SEDDON
Robber gets seven years in multiple hold-ups
Bird Rock residents want McMansions off the menu
An armed robber charged with holding up 11 people on the same night in La Jolla, Ocean Beach, Mission Beach and elsewhere was sentenced Monday to seven years in state prison. Restitution to the victims of Joseph Andres Garcia, of San Diego, will be determined in a later hearing. San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh gave Garcia credit for a year in jail and fined him $4,533. Before his arrest, Garcia, 20, posted this question on his Facebook page: “Who knows how to unlock an iPhone 4?” The iPhone 4 is the type stolen from a UCSD student on Feb. 2, 2014. That tip led to Garcia's arrest three days later. Garcia pleaded guilty to two robbery charges, and the other hold-up and attempted robbery charges were dismissed after Garcia agreed on April 20 to accept the seven-year sentence. The getaway driver, Benjamin Hernandez, 24, of National City, will be sentenced May 27 after he pleaded guilty to committing two robberies. Hernandez faces a maximum six-year

sentence. One of the victims remembered his car license tag; the information led to his arrest on Feb. 3, 2014. The robberies started in Ocean Beach at 6:50 p.m. on Feb. 2, 2014, when three men on Cape May near Cable Street were approached by the robbers and a juvenile. One bandit held a tire iron. The men had their cell phones, cigarettes and a lighter stolen. Later, a man lost his cell phone and another man lost his wallet containing $2, credit cards and ID cards on First Avenue in Hillcrest, according to the probation report. Another man was then robbed of $250 in his wallet. Another man who was standing outside his apartment that evening had a gun held to his head; his phone was stolen, and one man hit him in the back with a tire iron. The last group robbed comprised UCSD students sitting on a bench outside a school gym. One man held a tire iron, and the students were robbed of their cell phones, student IDs, wallets and credit cards. – Neal Putnam
La Jollans were clued into the perceived threat of “mansionization” by Bird Rock residents at La Jolla Community Planning Association’s May meeting. Bird Rock residents Sharon Wampler and Dana Williams led a Powerpoint presentation to the community advisory group on land use. The presentation was designed to illustrating their contention that developers are redeveloping properties and turning them into mansions. They claimed that transformation is despoiling their neighborhood’s character. The pair told community planners that as many as 20 to 25 such residences in Bird Rock have recently been purchased and redeveloped. “We’re hoping to begin the process of having people’s voices heard on this issue of (refurbished) McMansions in our neighborhood,” Wampler said, adding, “It’s
a citywide issue.” Williams said they were not there to “pick on” individual developers but to point out that a growing number of remodels over the past decade or so have been trending in the direction of being oversize. “Something has got to be done,” Williams said. “More and more houses are being torn down and McMansions built,” he added. Concerning the city’s housing codes, association trustee Fran Zimmerman said, “There has to be a will to change.” “It’s been horrendous,” agreed Bird Rock resident Don Schmidt from the audience. “The whole (housing development) process needs to be changed,” he said, requiring a lot more specificity.” “These kind of conversion have been going on for 20, 30 years,” noted association president Joe LaCava. Wampler said she intended to
launch a petition drive in Bird Rock to build consensus against McMansions. “We also need to ask the City Council to either put a hold (on these developments) or change the rules,” Wampler said. Association trustee Dee Dee Donovan said construction on remodels “needs to be closer to the codified La Jolla Community Plan, which talks about community character. “We need to put that in the code, which should be amended to limit construction of excessive bulk and scale in residential development,” Donovan said. The association subsequently voted 13-0-2 to form a subcommittee to study the issue and come back to the group at a later date with recommendations on what to do about it. The association’s next meeting will be Thursday, June 4 at 6 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Beach-Barber residents are asking for help amid escalating alcohol and drug activity By DAVE SCHWAB La Jolla Town Council in May heard a plea from Beach-Barber Tract residents complaining of escalating alcohol and drug abuse and crime on their beaches. They're urging local government to come to their neighborhood’s aid. Beach-Barber residents Ann Kerr Bache, a council board member, and Cynthia Chasan told the council that social media is encouraging young people outside La Jolla to come to the Beach-Barber Tract beach, which is intensifying problems with drugs, alcohol and other unacceptable behavior. “We’re falling through the cracks,” warned Kerr Bache. “We have some very serious issues of concern — illegal underage drinking, drug dealing and huge sanitation issues.” “In the '90s, neighbors were able to get together and establish a private security patrol which (ulti-
mately) had to be disbanded,” said Chasan, arguing that’s left a void to be filled. “What’s happening is we are heading into the summer without (security) resources at the beach, which is being degraded.” Chasan said youths are being driven to the isolated neighborhood beach by social media promising them that it is “one of the best-kept secrets in San Diego.” “There is now a lot of drugs and alcohol, trash and dogs off-leash,” she said. Both neighbors insist the answer to the growing problem is simple: Hire a Level 2 lifeguard or two who are properly trained and qualified to issue citations to beach offenders. Both said their efforts thus far to beef up beach security have been stymied by a government bureaucracy that keeps bouncing them back between one group and another, without properly addressing any
of their concerns. “Windansea has two permanent Level 2 lifeguards through the summer and occasionally three,” noted Chasan. “We’re not saying we only want locals,” said Kerr Bache. “We want people to come to La Jolla, but we don’t want them to do it illegally.” “Our youth are being jeopardized by this criminal element,” Kerr Bache said. “This beach needs to be patrolled,” she added. Council president Steve Haskins suggested inviting police and lifeguards to the next meeting to thoroughly vet the issue of Beach-Barber Tract problems and what can be done to resolve them. “It’s an urgent problem,” concluded Kerr Bache. The council will next meet Thursday, June 11 at 5 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

The Hake, owners' memories in tow, celebrates two years in La Jolla Cove When Ricardo Dondisch and his local business partners were searching for a restaurant space in La Jolla Cove two years ago, they weren’t put off by The Hake Kitchen & Bar’s (then Aquamoree) lack of an ocean view — they were excited. Dondisch is a managing partner in a successful Mexico City restaurant group, Operadora Bajo de la Tintorera, and The Hake is the group’s first U.S. venture. The Hake, 1250 Prospect St., is located below street level and rather discreet, reminding the group of their first restaurant in Mexico City, called Puntarena. The Hake’s namesake is a white fish found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans often seen on menus in Spain and throughout Europe. The seafood-centric restaurant has an “ocean-to-table” approach, says Dondisch, with Mediterranean flavors from Spain, the South of France and the Italian coast. “We come from a place where we have to go to the market every morning in Mexico City,” said Dondisch “The only way we know to work is through fishmongers and farmers to get fresh ingredients.” Their goal was to create a neigh-
borhood eatery in La Jolla using many of the popular dishes from their menus in Mexico City. Their executive chefs were excited to develop new dishes using ingredients previously unavailable to them in Mexico. A year later, they were exporting dishes from The Hake to their restaurants south of the border.
Where: 1250 Prospect St Info: thehake.com. or 858.454.1637
Dondisch, a La Jolla resident in the Ridgegate community, still travels to Mexico City every few months. He says the first two years in business at The Hake have been full of learning experiences in cultural differences and American customs. “We come from the land of the five-hour lunch,” said Dondisch, “so
we’ve had to work out certain idiosyncrasies. In Mexico, we don’t bring out the check unless you ask for it—and Americans thought that was bad service.” They've also had to learn more about wine and craft beer to be able to cater to La Jollans’ tastes, whereas their Mexican clientele prefer mixed cocktails. In exchange, they’ve been able to teach La Jolla patrons about tequilas and mezcals. Accommodating special requests is customary at restaurants in Mexico City, says Dondisch, and The Hake is no different. “We come from a place where that’s very normal,” he said. To celebrate the restaurant’s second anniversary and give back to the La Jolla community, The Hake will hold a party in July to benefit Las Patronas, a philanthropic organization founded in La Jolla that raises money for nonprofits throughout San Diego. The Hake serves lunches and dinners and offers outdoor seating options. Daily happy hour selections are available from 4 to 7 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. until close at the bar.

UCSD’s public art collection receives $1 million endowment A recently endowed $1 million will help UCSD preserve and grow its internationally renowned 18piece collection of public artwork. The site-specific sculptures make up the Stuart Collection, launched more than three decades ago with the now-famous “Sun God” by Niki de Saint Phalle.
The new gift, by Mary Looker of Manhattan Beach, will establish an endowment to help foster the growth of the art collection for years to come. “The sculptures that comprise the Stuart Collection, created by some of the most eminent artists of our time, lend a unique distinction

“overflow that isn’t picked up until Mondays, two days after special events. We’d like to write a letter to the city’s special events department asking that permits require that extra trash cans be placed throughout the Village to handle the overflow. We just want to make sure it’s part of the permit process.” The group voted in favor of a motion to support requiring more trash cans for special events. In other action: • Sarah Fields introduced herself as state Sen. Marty Block’s new La Jolla representative. Her email is sarah.fields@sen.ca.gov. • Association board member Nancy Warwick announced that the next La Jolla Town Council special forum on art and culture in La Jolla will be held Thursday, June 4 from 6:45 to 8:30 p.m. at Warwick’s Bookstore, at 7812 Girard Ave. The program will include guest speakers representing La Jolla Music Society, La Jolla Symphony & Chorus, La Jolla Playhouse, The Stuart Collection, the La Jolla Historical Society, Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, UCSD's ArtPower! and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. • Marengo gave kudos to City Council President Sherri Lightner for removing foliage along Torrey Pines Road heading into town, saying this has significantly opened up ocean views and has had one other positive unexpected side effect. “I’ve noticed that cars have slowed down to look at the view, which is a reminder that they’re close to the Village,” he said.

representatives from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as well as Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins' office in attempts to get the odious problem addressed. Marengo held up T-shirts that call attention to the problem showing humans — and sea lions — with clothespins holding their noses shut. “It really affects businesses,” Marengo said. “Hopefully, we’ll find a solution soon.” Marengo pointed out there is an existing fund, derived from developer impact fees collected over the years, that could conceivably be diverted for use in cleaning up the Cove stench. Those funds are earmarked for coastal-access improvements. “Those coastal funds are kind of dead,” Marengo said, “because they’re supposed to provide coastal access in the form of a shuttle, which would be exhausted very quickly if we did that. But those funds could be used to clean up the rocks (where sea lions haul out).” Marengo noted there’s at least one major hurdle to be overcome: convincing the California Coastal Commission that using the funds for coastal clean-up would qualify as a coastal-access improvement. In his president’s report, Marengo also asked the board to endorse his writing a letter on behalf of the group, which would make a change in requirements for clean-up after special events by hosting groups. “We’ve noticed lots of trash around after special events,” he said,

with huge savings in time and maintenance. The fact is, turf grass is one of the most water-intensive plants a landscape can have. High-water demand and frequent maintenance make it a time-consuming and expensive yard option. At a minimum, grass lawns need to be mowed during the summer months. However, a lush lawn typically requires periodic fertilization as well as irrigation during dry weather. Insecticide may also be required if grubs, fleas or other insect pests are present. Artificial lawns are much easier to
care for than real grass, requiring no mowing, fertilizing or irrigation. They also do not attract insect pests. Synthetic grass that gets dirty can simply be hosed off. Artificial grass may also make the inside of your home a bit easier to care for, with no dirt or mud tracked in. Coastal resident Victor Grigorian made the switch from natural grass to artificial turf and is glad he did. “I did my front yard in 2009, and then a year later I put it in my backyard,” he said, adding there were three main reasons for making the change. “I had retired and I wanted to make my life easier and not have to deal with the responsibility of maintaining a yard,” Grigorian said. “I was also conscious about water concerns,

of 130 arts enthusiasts who help fund new projects. The collection was started by James Stuart DeSilva, a San Diego businessman who built a successful tuna fishing fleet. He used his middle name for the collection to deflect attention from himself. – Times of San Diego
Near mishap fuels La Jolla mom's crosswalk safety effort A local mother is working to have blinking lights installed at a La Jolla crosswalk after seeing a child almost struck by a car. "About a month ago, I saw a little boy almost get hit by a car, and I have a little guy – he's 4 years old – and I realized I was responsible, and I had to speak up," Stephanie Jernigan told a local TV news outlet. To date, about 300 people have signed Jernigan's petition asking the city to install a blinking light at the crosswalk on La Jolla Boulevard and Westbourne Street. "It's perfectly located in between a
beach, a high school and a convenience store," said Nathan Jernigan. The Jernigans say flashing lights will also make the area safer for drivers. "The first vehicle will stop for a pedestrian, but the second and third vehicle don't, and it'll make it safer for drivers as well so we're not getting rear-ended by the next guy who's on his phone, not understanding why someone is stopping," Nathan Jernigan said. Lori Boch said she still gets nervous trying to cross the street after she was hit by a car in the crosswalk
a few months ago. "The car came up and hit me on my side and my ankle; broke my ankle," said Boch. Neighbors presented their petition at a recent meeting of the La Jolla traffic and transportation advisory board. Since the April meeting, Jernigan said she was told the crosswalk improvements have been approved but that the potential funding source is unclear. "We're hoping the city does fund the project. If not, we'll figure it out," said Jernigan. – KGTV Ch. 10
Ex-nurses sentenced in La Jolla elder abuse case Two ex-nurses were sentenced May 12 to 325 and 365 days in jail respectively for the 2011 elder abuse of a La Jolla grandmother they had been hired to care for before they were spotted in a sex act on hidden camera footage. Russell Olvera Torralba, 43, and Alfredo Villagarcia Ruiz, 43, who had been free on $200,000 bond, were led to jail after San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh denied an attorney’s request to surrender at a later date. Torralba received one year in jail, while Ruiz was sentenced to 325 days. Walsh put both ex-nurses on five years' probation. Walsh gave Torralba credit for 273 days and Ruiz 20 days in jail. Torralba's attorneys had asked for credit for time served, with no additional jail. The family filed a civil suit against the company which employed the
men. The suit has settled. The men were hired by the family of a 98-year-old grandmother to care for her in her own home. She had suffered a stroke and could not speak or move freely, and her grandchildren testified May 12 how the discovery of the men’s sexual activities in front of her affected the family. Eduardo Diecas, a grandson, said his grandmother was in great distress and that they didn’t discover
the reason until the family viewed the security camera footage. He told the judge the ex-nurses took advantage of a position of trust. The licenses for both men were revoked by the state on July 2, 2013. They both pleaded guilty to committing elder abuse, a felony, and Torralba also pleaded guilty to committing elder abuse on a male patient in a board and care facility he used to own.
and they (turf installers) were offering a rebate.” Grigorian’s “very satisfied” with the end result, adding, “It looks good. What I lose in it not looking like real grass, I made up for in not having to mow it once a week and fertilize it a couple times a year.” Although artificial turf may be easier to care for than the real thing, artificial turf does not feel exactly the same as real grass. Many homeowners also struggle with the sound of artificial turf, which makes a soft rustling when walked on. Also, while the feel of artificial grass may not be quite the same as the real thing, the look of a high-end synthetic can easily fool your friends and neighbors. Grigorian said he can live with his synthetic grass not always looking
like the real item. “I will challenge you to tell me it (synthetic turf) doesn’t look like real grass at certain times of the day,” he said, “especially if you’re driving by (from a distance).” On the negative side, artificial turf installation costs significantly more than traditional sod. Statistics show that synthetic grass for landscaping and recreation is growing 10 to 15 percent a year nationwide, which means more and more homeowners are using fakes for lawns, dog runs, play areas, pool surrounds, rooftops, putting greens and decorative borders between patio pavers. It’s several times more expensive to install synthetic grass than to put in natural grass sod. Studies show it
takes about seven years for maintenance-free artificial grass to recoup its initial cost. The pluses of artificial grass is that it saves water, is easy to maintain and can be environmentally friendly. On the down side, artificial grass is not completely maintenance free, it can’t absorb and break down pet urine, it heats up in direct sun, it can’t be recycled and it has been banned by some homeowners associations and municipalities. As part of its drought-response efforts, the San Diego County Water Authority has launched a pilot program designed to help bring down the cost of replacing water-intensive grass with artificial turf.

French-American School mirrors namesake nation's gifts to humanity Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part 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. Everybody has bad days, after all – even in France, home to the world's sixth largest economy and the globe's biggest influx of tourists every year. French unemployment stood at an eye-popping 10.6 percent as of March, and taxes on some wealthy French households somehow topped 100 percent two years ago. To add insult to injury, famed French actor Gérard Depardieu left his native country for good in a huff, loudly lamenting the French system of taxation; he was granted Russian citizenship in January of 2013. But to hear the San Diego FrenchAmerican School tell it, such entanglements mean something only if they make the nightly news. “Multilingual – multitalented – worldready,” reads the school's new tagline, like some irresistible force pitted against a suddenly movable object. Take care of the little things, and the big stuff will take care of

itself. “We're committed to teaching good world citizens,” principal Christian Jarlov said, “and preparing them for a very different world. Two
out of three jobs require [or will require] knowledge of a second language – two out of three. We know this as we design our curriculum, and we're already ahead [of the
curve] with so many cultures represented.” But a French education means many things, at least in the eyes of history. Two centuries ago, France led the globe in educational progress, and its pursuits weren't limited to the classroom. All the world was its stage, and its actors led the way in movements and inventions that would eventually touch populations in every corner. The Abbé Charles-Michel de l'Épée, a philanthropic educator who in the Paris of 1760 founded what is now the world's oldest school for the deaf. Brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier, who in 1783 introduced the world to untethered flight in a hot-air balloon. Louis Braille, who in the 1820s invented the renowned reading and writing system for the blind and visually impaired – at age 12 (he himself was also blind). Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, whose invention of the daguerreotype deemed him one of the fathers of modern photography.
Walk, ride and roll to school with SANDAG amid new grants plan The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has launched a Walk, Ride and Roll to School mini-grant program to help increase active transportation and safety education for students 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 K-12 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 SANDAG 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, run and managed by SANDAG, 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.

“France has always given a lot to humanity,” Jarlov said. “World culture has its basis in language differences,” and thus French excellence was never intended as the province of France alone. Enter The San Diego FrenchAmerican School, supremely intent in its quest. True success lies in worldliness, it seems to say, even as one of its own reflects on the concept of globalism firsthand. “In my class alone,” AyalaSekiguchi said, “I believe I have ten different nationalities, and it's a fairly small class of 22. I think you learn a lot better, because you get more one-on-one time with the teachers and students. “And I like being with other international kids, because you're exposed to so many different issues.” So ends another school year accordingly, with the French-American School an outstanding community resource on what amounts to an educational global stage. As La Jolla is most proud host to this venue, it's indeed a host to the world.
Parents schooled on ins and outs of costs for college A noted expert on postsecondary schools presented a series of dos and don'ts to La Jolla parents April 21 on matching their children to the right college at the right cost. Lynn O'Shaughnessy, author of the bestselling “The College Solution: A Guide for Everyone Looking for the Right School at the Right Price,” said there are money-saving steps parents can take before the child applies for college, such as noting the school's available financial assistance and determining the actual cost of college, which often is weighted by unforeseen fees and premiums. Scholarships, college versus university and need-based aid are vital considerations in calculating the ultimate cost of a degree, O'Shaughnessy said, adding that parents should never assume there are only a handful of suitable schools to complete a given major. O'Shaughnessy, who also writes a blog called “The College Solution” and put her own two children through college, encouraged parents to stay acquainted with pricing plans at potential schools, as pricing packages change every few years. The talk, at La Jolla High School, was attended by about 150 parents.

The event was a collaboration by different departments of San Diego Mesa College. The fashion students, under the direction of their professors, organized and presented the program along with help from the multimedia students. Mesa Reprographics did the printing and publishing for the evening. Dancers from the Mesa Dance Ensemble presented the entertainment during the fashion show. The theme for the evening was “Mother Earth,” and each scene had corresponding names such as “Branching Out,” “May the Forest Be with You” “and Under the Stars.” The children's wear section always receives the biggest applause. Six-year-olds came down the runway, putting smiles on the faces of everyone in the audience. Program president Pamela Luster,

This week, I’d like to concentrate on sound and projection (double entendre the latter). Apparently, the projection gods demand appeasement this spring. First, we dealt with the failure of technology throughout San Diego Opera’s April 25 afternoon performance of “El Pasado Se Nunca Termina” (“The Past Is Never Finished”) at the Civic Theatre. Many sat in the dark missing the usual English projections and wishing they'd paid better attention in Spanish class. On May 8, the second act of kallisti ensemble’s “The Threepenny Opera” at the Experimental Theatre
in UCSD’s Conrad Prebys Music Building, which closed May 10, suffered a similar fate. After a few sputtering attempts at projecting the background, the computer and/or computer technician merely gave up. Reminds me of the opening of the old Festival Theatre at the Old Globe. Computer-generated lighting cues were in their infancy and failed, so on opening night, director Jack O’Brien and his lighting designer had to input the cues manually. Imagine that! Computer technology is far from perfect, and due to many factors, so

Dementia would be challenged to negotiate the market square! However, a number of community organizations, shopkeepers and local government have made a difference to those with Dementia trying to lead normal lives. Some of these initiatives are: • The police know who have Dementia through a registry which helps them find wandering individuals • Shopkeepers display a knotted red hankerchief meaning they offer compassionate assistance • A local choir (Foton) is made up entirely of people with Dementia Undoubtedly, there are other measures and I can’t help thinking residents of San Diego could benefit from similar initiatives. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation recently published an article outlining efforts in the city of York, England and here’s what they have to say about criteria for ‘Dementia Friendly’. • Find their way around and feel safe in their locality, community or city • Access local facilities they are used to (such as banks, shops, cafes, cinemas and post offices, as well as health and social care services) • Maintain social networks that make them feel still part of their community.

Scrappy, inexpensive Deli-icious stands up to the big guys By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN 1250 Prospect St. is something of an iconic address in the Village, home to equally iconic restaurants like gallant old-timer George's at the Cove, revered recent transplant Donovan's Steak House and wunderkind tough cookie The Hake Kitchen & Bar (see our related Hake story on page 8). Amid its proximity to La Jolla Cove and merchants of all persuasions, it's a marker for visitors and locals alike, and it seems to hold more than its own regardless of the season. With that kind of company, it's easy to forget that venues large and small have unceremoniously vacated the immediate areas (Donovan's is where the Steakhouse Azul La Jolla used to be, and don't forget the late Morrison Hotel Gallery, a small art house featuring absolutely magnificent photos of rock stars and their memorabilia).

New York is the only
other locale in which I can cite a similarly stellar feat, and New York's the deli mecca of the known universe. I should mention that Deli-icious isn't just take-out – you can of course dine in and stare across the street at the monument that is 1250 Prospect, with its commercial prowess and lore. You'll be looking at a few classic La Jolla eateries, but at Deli-icious, you're also sitting in one.

ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF OLD TOWN Winners Announced at Fiesta de Reyes Folklorico Competition In front of a crowd of more than 1,000 spectators in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, top honors were bestowed on four ballet folklorico teams from around the state Sunday afternoon in the culmination of the two-day competition which was part of the Historic Old Town Community Foundation’s Fiesta Old Town Cinco de Mayo celebration. Top honors in the adult category went to Sacramento-based Rincones de mi Tierra for their traditional rendition of “Jalisco-Danza de Paixtles.” Second place in the adult category went to Teocalli Cultural Academy of Fresno for their performance of “El Saro Campechano.” The teen category for students age
13 to 17 years old, was also won by a group from Fresno. The team from Clovis West High School won first place in the category for their performance of “El Cuadro,” which originated in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. In the children’s category for those 12 and under, the top spot was a tie between Corazon Purepecha of San Diego for “La Danza de los Viejitos,” a traditional dance originated in the state of Michoacan, and Grupo Folklorico Orgullo Mexicano of Long Beach for their performance of traditional mestizo dances of Sinaloa. In its sixth year, this competition was the biggest yet. Sixteen teams from Sacramento, Fresno, Long Beach and San Diego County entered
the competition and performed before three renowned ballet folklórico judges from Mexico on Saturday. Nine teams advanced to Sunday’s final round. The teams were vying for cash prizes from the Historic Old Town Community Foundation. Both days of the competition saw record crowds in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park with well over 1,000 people watching the competition each day. Ballet Folklorico is a traditional Latin American dance that emphasizes local folk culture with ballet characteristics. Children, teen-agers and adults competed in the three categories for the competition title and cash prizes. Dance instructor Luis
Oceguera of Oceanside produced the event on behalf of Fiesta de Reyes and Felipe Castaneda of Univision entertained the crowd as master of ceremonies. Fiesta de Reyes under the direction of Chuck Ross, spearheaded the effort to expand this year’s competition and to attract teams from all over California. Fiesta de Reyes is an anchor concession in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park and features three restaurants, a boutique historic hotel and 19 unique shops in the park.

Arts June 14 looms, and so does La Jolla Day at Petco Park If you hurry, there’s still time to get in on La Jolla Day at Petco Park. But don’t wait too long. Tickets are going fast, and the date draws near. “La Jolla Village Merchants Association is excited to partner with the Padres for our second annual La Jolla Day on June 14th versus the Dodgers,” said Sheila Fortune, executive director of La Jolla’s business improvement district. “The Padres have committed again this year to give back $5 for every ticket we sell. The money will be used for keeping our village clean through the Sparkle & Shine campaign.” Fortune added that any individual or business that sells 25 or more
tickets will go into a drawing for a contest incentive – First Pitch and VIP tickets – for a game later in the year. At the association’s May meeting, Padres spokesman Brad Dwight said La Jolla Day is part of the team’s effort to promote local baseball via community outreach. “We love having you,” Dwight said, adding, “It’s going to be a fun day.” Dwight said a total of 350 tickets need to be sold to reserve a section of the ballpark for the special occasion. For ticket information, email events@lajollabythesea.com or call (858) 454-5718.

or get jealous with other people because of what's on Facebook. Bur our thing is, and we tell them, 'Y'gotta be in on the game.' You can't take it seriously, but people really do.” Book publishing is a game too, in the most literal sense of the word, and Fenton and Steinke are in on that one as well. “Your Perfect Life,” their debut from 2014, was published by Simon & Schuster subimprint Washington Square Press nearly off the bat – no small feat in an industry wherein three of every 1,000 first-timers see the light of day. Washington Square is publishing “Status” as well; release is set for Tuesday, June 2. Maybe the attraction's in the genre itself. The magical realism handle reflects a very powerful pull in poop culture (television's counterparts might include the vampiredriven “The Originals” or the fairytale-fueled “Grimm”), and Fenton says there are a few books that fall into that category. Meanwhile, Fenton says anticlimactically, “You just have to keep writing. You have to keep at that novel that captures the attention of who you're sending it to,” especially the one that exploits a life-altering cultural phenomenon. The girls have been writing partners for eight years and talk a lot about having turned 40 (Fenton is 41, Steinke 42). But understand: That information was extracted over the phone, a central precursor to Facebook – so who knows the extent of the truth behind it. Guess we have to trust that it's accurate, lest today's electronic lessons fail us. That's what Kate did, and it looks and sounds as if she's quite the better for it. Warwick's is located at 7812 Girard Ave. The event is free.
CONT. FROM PG. 9
The book is called “The Status of All Things,” and in real life, it amounts to another coup for authors and former Vistans Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke, who will visit Warwick's Books at 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 8 to talk about their newest work and discuss magical realism, their genre's unofficial handle. They're veterans at these get-togethers already, having visited the venue last year for a talk about “Your Perfect Life” and its body-swap plot – in each case, Fenton says, the central figure's better angels prevail. “Does Kate want to look perfect, or does she want to be happy?” San Diego resident Fenton asks of Kate. “The two things are really different things, and I think that's what's at the heart of the book. Everyone wants to have their online persona. Lisa and I do it too with Facebook and (the photo-driven) Instagram. Everyone wants to frame their online lives. But the point is that that's not their real life. We thought it would be good to pursue that in a fun way.” Lately, that's sometimes difficult to reconcile. Online-generated crime (most notably the horrific 2014 stabbing of a Wisconsin girl by her friends, the latter attempting to appease a vengeful electronic character called Slenderman) is a reality, and to that extent, the real has merged with the ideal. “There's a part of the book,” Chicagoan Steinke says, “where, to her, her real life and her online life are the same. But without giving too much away, she learns to separate the two as the book goes on.” “But the Internet has changed our world,” Fenton adds. “It's changed our world in so many ways. We know people who hate other people

was “The Threepenny Opera,” the story of a Victorian Englishman who constantly eludes his fatherin-law's efforts to have him killed. First, there is the Experimental Theatre itself, which has now been modified with metal strips that run along the base of seatbacks, making the already stingy legroom unbearable. One used to be able to stretch one’s legs under the seat in front. No more. And even though the seats are padded, they grow hard over the course of 2½ hours. Second, we have the acoustical problem presented by the Experimental Theatre, in which sound, even though amplified, flies off into the high ceiling and wings of the wide playing space.

1928 is of prime importance. The composition of the orchestra – very brassy – is a factor too, especially here. The young sopranos’ diction was largely unintelligible, whether spoken or sung, contributing to the work’s dizzying events. In some cases, text intentionally mispronounced in Marc Blitzstein’s 1954 English translation for the sake of rhyme was not. With the exception of Jonathan Nussman as Mack I, director Ruff Yeager as Peachum, producer Susan Narucki as Mrs. Peachum and mezzo Julia Karis as Lucy Brown, most everyone was not understood, making for a long evening, backside endurance notwithstanding. Then there was the matter of two Mack the Knife portrayers. I am certain there were aesthetic and practical reasons for this, but I fail to imagine what they were. Cortez L. Johnson as Mack 2 is physically agile and does not sing. Jonathan Nussman’s Mack 1 narrates and sings, at first spread and under pitch; but improved as the evening

progressed. Even Michael Mizerany’s choreography could not a style re-create, and I went home feeling sorry for those who have never seen or heard a proper “Threepenny” production – something more and more rare, since Weill is seldom performed these days. Perhaps the difficulty of attempting to capture its style is the reason why. It’s interesting to note that Karis’ biography was omitted from the printed program, as was Lotte Lenya’s at the original performance. Maybe the program gods need appeasing, too, after all this time. If you are inclined to do some research, go to threepennyopera.org. Meanwhile, the incredibly philanthropic Conrad Prebys will receive an honorary doctorate from San Diego State University on Wednesday, June 3. Somehow, he just never had time to go to college. I’m sure he is thrilled.

Funding and design proposals for new UC High's Wahhab: Change your multi-use Chargers stadium unveiled approach, change your game The Citizens' Stadium Advisory Group (CSAG) released its “Site Selection and Financing Plan for New Multi-Use Stadium in San Diego” on Monday, May 18. CSAG concluded a new multi-use stadium in Mission Valley is the most viable option, and would cost approximately $1.1 billion, excluding land. To pay for the facility, CSAG outlined more than $1.4 billion in revenue streams without increasing taxes. “Despite so many dramatic changes and potential distractions, both here and elsewhere over the last four months, our community rallied and kept moving forward,” said Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “San Diego now has a framework to build a new stadium that’s tangible, that’s achievable and that won’t raise taxes.” To pay for the proposed stadium, parking, stadium-related infrastructure and operations and maintenance, CSAG’s financing plan includes 60 acres of land from the City of San Diego valued at $180 million, and more than a dozen funding sources that exceed $1.4 billion, including: • $300 million from the Chargers • $173 million in bondable construction capital from the team’s rent. • $200 million from the NFL. • $121 million from the County of San Diego. • $121 million from the City of San Diego. • $225 million from the sale of 75 acres of land. More than $100 million from fans, who would contribute through the purchase of personal seat licenses (PSLs), and ticket and parking surcharges. “CSAG’s plan is the first chance the community has had to solve a problem that has existed since I first arrived in 2001. I hope the city, county and the Chargers use this plan as a basis to retain the team in

the community it belongs,” said former Charger LaDainian Tomlinson. Included in CSAG’s plan is a $950 million proposed stadium designed by MEIS, a New York-based stadium design firm, that would take advantage of San Diego’s sunny and mild year-round climate. Stadium design veteran Dan Meis is the founder and managing principal at MEIS. He was the lead designer for the Staples Center in Los Angeles and two existing NFL stadiums – Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. MEIS currently is working on renovations at Paul Brown Stadium and designing a new 60,000-seat soccer stadium in Rome, Italy called Stadio Della Roma that includes a mixeduse entertainment village similar to LA Live at Staples Center. "Unlike major league baseball that has been so successful in developing stadiums that are well integrated and evocative of their locations – Camden Yards in Baltimore, AT&T Park in San Francisco – NFL stadiums have been, for the most part, fairly generic architecturally,” Meis said. “We believe the design we created for the proposed stadium in San Diego will alter that trend by presenting a venue that truly embodies the city's landscape and spirit." In addition to the stadium, CSAG’s research led it to estimate that parking and stadium-related infrastructure would cost $204 million. The
state-of-the-art venue would be home to the Chargers, San Diego State Aztecs, the Holiday and Poinsettia Bowls, and numerous other events – from corporate events to rodeos – that would help pay for operations and maintenance. CSAG released its financing plan at a news conference at the San Diego County Operations Center/Campus Center Chambers. As for the site selection, CSAG’s report says without Mission Valley a clear path to a stadium would not exist in San Diego. "Given the accelerated timeline the NFL and the Chargers established, the Mission Valley site emerged as the only option that leads to a ribbon cutting ceremony at a new stadium before the end of the decade," CSAG's report says. The city and the City’s Water Department own the land, valued at $180 million, and the 166-acre site has tremendous potential. CSAG also examined a downtown location, which proved to be unworkable for a variety of reasons outlined in the report. “From the beginning of this process you could tell this time was different, and CSAG’s plan confirms that,” said Rafael Alvarez, who heads Bolt Pride and helps lead Save Our Bolts, which represent more than 20,000 Chargers' fans. Now it’s time for the Chargers, the city and the county to finish what CSAG started. The Chargers belong in San Diego."
Yassin Wahhab, starting second baseman for University City High, has relaxed his approach to baseball over the past two years. Formerly, his drive to improve so he could continue to play past high school – whether in college or even the pros – met head-on with injuries that forced him to change his perspective. Yaz, as he is known, now seems reflective as he enjoys a stellar senior season batting at the top of new UC coach Rick Frink’s lineup. His changed approach to the game has enabled him to relax his hands at the plate, leading to a robust .361 batting average with a week left in the Western League season. Amid the bigger picture, he has also accepted the fact that he won’t play baseball at San Diego State University, where he will attend college next year. And he can even find a healthful way to look at his final season with the Centurions, which won’t include a league title. “I’ve relaxed,” says the 17-yearold scrapper, who Frink says will get on base any way he can. “The result has been better than I would have thought.” The statistics bear this out: Wahhab has scratched out 30 hits and crossed the plate 23 times to lead the team in both categories. Frink bats him in the leadoff or second spot in the order. Wahhab also has developed an unusual knack for getting hit by pitches this year. He has accomplished this six times so far. His coaches say it is because instead of pulling away on inside pitches, Wahhab stays in there. He turns his shoulder, and the result is contact. Though more relaxed at the plate, he has also gotten more aggressive in attacking pitches. His walks are way down this year. He sees this as being “more balanced” in his approach to the plate. “I get in the box,” he explains. “My hands are really relaxed. I’m thinking this is the pitch I want. I survey the field and think, 'What do I want to do with the next pitch?'”
Instead of taking so many pitches, as he did in the past, he looks at each pitch as a potential hit. This has meant not getting down in the count 0-and-1 or 0-and-2 as much, which put him at a disadvantage to the pitcher. As a result, his strikeouts are down, too. Wahhab, though philosophical, doesn’t give in to resignation. He loves the game of baseball, he’s a fighter, and Frink views him as the “quiet leader” who motivates his

teammates to play harder by his own hard work and dedication. It is not uncommon for schoolmates to take his name as Middle Eastern – “everything becomes Middle Eastern” – and he says he has been the object of more than his share of inappropriate terrorist jokes. He said the best response is not react, “to take it well. It’s a maturing process.” He adds that his name is Moroccan. He says he may explain that “I’m pretty white,” not just referring to his mother Janet but also to his being a typical teenager, to try to help others get past his name. The camaraderie he enjoys on the baseball team with his teammates seems to reflect the friendships he has with them. Says Frink of his second baseman: “He’s a big baseball guy. He’s a middle infielder who knows the game well.”
Playoff loss doesn't dampen spirits of Bishop's lacrosse girls By ED PIPER Alex Flagg’s stove-popped popcorn with Tajin seasoning, which contains chile peppers, salt, and lime, must be the fuel that powers Bishop’s highlyranked girls lacrosse team. Despite a recent playoff loss, something is going awfully well, and it’s reflected in the fun-loving, relaxed vibe that characterizes the team’s three captains – Flagg, a midfielder, the only senior of the three captains; Eileen Mahler, the “silent assassin” on attack;
and Sydney Yockey, a defensive wing, the latter two juniors. We like to keep it relaxed,” says Yockey, the youngest of the trio at 16. The threesome took time out for a photo in front of one of the goals on the field then returned to Coach Meghan Carr’s office to chat and pass around popcorn (not Alex’s type) and M&Ms. Standing with a 14-1 overall record, the Coastal League title already clinched on the eve of the Lady Knights’ final regular season game, didn’t hurt the mood.
“One of the strengths of the team is we don’t get down,” the captains echo. “We’re huge on lifting each other up,” says Mahler, a key scoring threat. In fact, the other two identify Yockey as the leader who “picks the team up when we’re down.” “We’re happy playing,” says Flagg, whose energy continued through the lively interview. “We’re happy to be together.” Case in point: Bishop’s trailed rival La Jolla, having a good year, 10-7 with seven minutes to play at home. The
Lady Knights held it together, scored four unanswered points in the last four minutes, and won 11-10 in a cliffhanger. Carr says, “We don’t play according to where we’re placed. We play to win.” Bishop’s, despite the momentum going in, suffered a narrow 11-10 loss in the Lady Knights’ initial playoff game in the Open Division May 9 to Canyon Crest. Flagg scored five goals. Bishop’s was seeded fourth, Canyon Crest fifth.

Epsom salt isn't just a cure for aches and pains
Epsom salt is actually magnesium sulfate, witch aids in the critical absorption of minerals, especially in roses. COURTESY PHOTOS
By LINDA MARRONE After I listed the charming Westbourne Street home, everyone who has seen the house and gardens has asked me how my client grows such beautiful roses. Her roses are breathtakingly large, with lush green foliage and strong healthy canes. She showed me the fertilizer she uses – Magnum Rose and Flower Fertilizer – and I noticed that it was full of magnesium sulfate, which made me remember a secret my grandmother used on her roses: Epsom salt. Used for medical, health and agriculture purposes, Epsom salt is actually not a salt at all. This naturally occurring mineral, clinically known as magnesium sulfate, is an economical supplement that will keep your plants thriving, especially roses. Named after the springs in Epsom, England, Epsom salt is no longer mined there, and what we find today is usually derived from the mineral epsomite. Magnesium assists plants with the photosynthesis process, which is how plants create the chlorophyll that allows them to convert sun-
light info food. It also helps plants soak up nitrogen and phosphorus, the minerals they need for growth and for the production of beautiful flowers. Sulfate is the natural mineral form of sulphur, and it also aids in the plant's ability to produce chlorophyll. The combination of magnesium and sulfate helps plants absorb the mineral nutrients and vitamins they need. In January or February and again in late summer, I use Walter Anderson's Ada Perry Mix on my roses. One of the many mineral ingredients in Ada Perry Mix is Epsom salt. Next January, use 1/2 a cup of Epsom salt on each rosebush after they have been pruned, and work it into the soil around the base of each bush. Then, as the leaves and buds begin to form, dissolve two tabs of Epsom salt per one gallon of water, and pour it around the base of the rosebush and let it soak in. You can use this "drenching" solution now and throughout the growing season about once a month. In August, add another 1/2 cup to the base of the rosebush, and work it into the soil to give your roses a
boost. Remember that Epsom salt is only a supplement that boosts your plants' ability to absorb the nutrients they need; you still need to nourish your roses with a balanced fertilizer. An organic fertilizer, such as Dr. Earth's Rose and Flower Food, will provide your roses with the other nutrients they need to be happy and healthy. Your entire garden will benefit from using Epsom salt, and there are many different ideas online for using it. Tomatoes and peppers enjoy a feeding of Epsom salt (a tab per gallon of water every two weeks). You can also use Epsom salt on your house and outdoor potted plants (one tab per gallon of water once a month), which will help flush away natural salt build-up and help roots stay healthy. You can see more of the garden at the Westbourne House at BarberTractBeachHouse.com. Linda Marrone is a Realtor with Coldwell Banker in La Jolla. Pictures of her garden have appeared in local and national magazines.

La Jolla lifestyle brand sold to Sherman Oaks’ Cherokee firm Sherman Oaks-based Cherokee Global Brands has acquired La Jolla's casual lifestyle brand Everyday California from owners and founders Michael Samer and Christopher Lynch. Samer and Lynch retain ownership of the Everyday California flagship store in La Jolla and will continue selling men's and women's apparel, accessories and footwear through a licensing agreement with Cherokee Global Brands. They also retain ownership of non-fashion categories, such as their signature ocean adventure business -- kayaking and snorkeling tours and board rentals, among others. “We are very excited to be adding Everyday California to our portfolio of style-focused lifestyle brands," said Henry Stupp, CEO of Cherokee Global Brands. "Everyday California's global potential made the acquisition a perfect fit for Cherokee Global Brands. The brand is more than a state of mind; it's a way
of life. Many great active lifestyle brands have been born in California, and we are confident that together with Mike and Chris we can take an already strong brand and make it even more successful." Stupp said Samer and Lynch will also become global brand ambassadors, leveraging Cherokee's existing design, marketing and supply chain infrastructure to expand the brand's presence internationally. "We have been actively working to identify new licensee partners for the brand," Stupp said. "Several licensees have already been identified, and we expect to announce them shortly. In addition, through our global platform and expanded licensing network, we are confident that we shall be able to swiftly secure international partners for Everyday California." Everyday California will be formally introduced under Cherokee Global Brands June 9 through 11at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.

AN EDUCATION IN FINE DINING On May 9, more than 120 Gillispie School parents and friends gathered for school's first Corks & Forks: a beer, wine and cuisine-tasting event held on Pirtle Field at the La Jolla school, bringing together Gillispie parents and community supporters. “Our wish,” Gillispie trustee Kelly Kjos said, “was to have a casual, fun-filled environment which lent itself to conversation and celebration of the year. What better way to create that atmosphere then to bring together the best in San Diego cuisine and brews with the top vintners in California? This was a great opportunity to invite our community onto our campus.” Puesto, The Promiscuous Fork and Landa Vineyards were among the participating businesses. Pictured are Gillispie parents Chip Harrison and Kim Pavel. COURTESY PHOTO

Senior Lifestyles Reframing Your Life Story Doing it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. Tell me the story of your life, and I will tell you how healthy you are most likely to be in the next few years. No, it’s not a joke. There are two ways to tell your story: One is with a positive spin — emphasizing the good things that happened and minimizing the bad things by talking about your resilience or the way they helped you grow stronger; the other way is with a negative spin — talking mostly about how much you suffered, the unfairness of life and the traumas and glossing over
the good times. How you tell — and perceive — your life story is important to your health, according to Jonathan Adler, assistant professor of psychology at Olin College and lead researcher on a study that looked at the way people told stories about their lives. Some participants could find positive outcomes even in negative experiences, while others believed that even good things eventually turned bad. What is interesting is that years down the line, the people who told their stories in a positive way had better health, while those who dwelled on the negative tended to have worse health or die earlier. You could argue here that it is not the way the story is told but the events that happened. Some people’s lives are easier, and others go through terrible times. Still, every-
My friend is mad at me! Ask the Retirement Concierge Sharonann Hamilton
Dear Ask: I gave one of my friends a referral for a professional service recently, and the person I referred her to has just been bothersome. He constantly sends out email and weekly phone calls to move his service forward. I feel like my credibility is harmed because of his actions. When my friend sees me, I feel her coolness toward me. Now, my reputation – and even worse, our friendship – is damaged. How can I repair this? Signed: Embarrassed! Dear Embarrassed, Ouch! Networking for trusted professionals has long been the best practice when finding needed resources. Unfortunately, the stories in history still hold
true. Solomon wrote in the Book of Proverbs, “He that walks with the wise will be wise, and he that walks with a fool will harm himself.” Euripides, an ancient Greek playwright, penned, “Every man is like the company he is wont to keep.” Even today, we say that someone is “tarred by the same brush,” meaning that friends of a rogue are like the rogue. On the other side of this picture is a true respect and trust you share with your friends and ethical networking professionals. Our friends introduce many of our services to us, and we are grateful. Do you really want to choose your podiatrist or dentist by going through a phone book? No. We look to those we respect to make good recommendations. Your reputation in your circle of friends must be more credible than ever before. Technology, like Yelp or Trip Advisor, is a poor substitute for a personal introduction. Should your referral
Windansea view condos set to open in summer One Neptune, a luxury condominium development that overlooks Windansea Beach and whose units feature private ocean-view decks, is scheduled to open for occupancy this summer. Seven of the 18 units are reportedly already sold. The 18 luxury condominiums, located at 6767 Neptune Place between Playa del Norte and Playa del Sur, are a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, each on a single level with a private deck. The three-story structure contains six homes per floor. Designed by San Diego firm Marengo Morton Architects, homes at One Neptune range from 797 to
2,196 square feet and feature solar electrical systems and tankless water heaters, underground parking and extra storage for bikes and surfboards. One Neptune sits on the site of the Strand Hotel, which opened in 1909 and 10 years later became known as the Windansea Hotel when its new owner, Arthur Snell, sponsored a competition to rename it. After that, the neighborhood took on the Windansea moniker. In 1953, the structure was replaced with a 19unit apartment building. For more information on One Neptune, call 858-735-1045 or visit www.oneneptune.com.

one has both positive and negative experiences, and the tendency to emphasize one or the other has an impact. People with good lives who don’t perceive the good do worse than people with bad lives who mitigate the bad and emphasize what little good they encountered. So can you do something about this? Yes, you can, in fact. By changing your narrative, you can improve your chances of a healthier and longer life. If you suspect your narrative is negative, tell your life story to a friend and ask him or her to take note of the way you talk about both the negative and positive events, what you dwell on and what you skip over. Or you can record yourself and then listen to the way you describe your life and make notes. Then if you feel you have overly described negative events, retell the same story, putting a more positive spin on it. Ask yourself the following questions:
1. Could this “bad” event be perceived differently by someone else? If so, is that a valid way of looking at it?
turn sour, you must act immediately. The most important issue is preserving your friendship. This is a difficult, perhaps gut-wrenching action for you to do, because you must meet with your friend, face to face, and apologize. We never like to be in the wrong or feel like we have harmed someone, so apologies are mortifying. The good news about this is that the more we apologize, the easier it gets. The more sincere you are, the more your friend will forgive you. Sincerity is shown when you make eye contact during your conversation and you own up to your mistake. Your true friend will easily accept your apology. The second area of brave action is to confront the person you referred to and explain how his actions are inappropriate and have caused you grief. You might or might not continue your connection depending on whether he mends his ways. Hopefully, he will learn his lesson and never let this happen again. The last arena is always a bit of a challenge. That is the self-examination that stems from challenges like
this, especially if you are a professional. We ask ourselves deep questions like, “Am I respectful when someone refers me?” “Am I really listening to what my client says he wants?” “Do I deliver when promised or before?” Sometimes, we realize that we need to shift our own thinking and our own actions to be persons of high integrity. If we are wise, we can learn from other people’s mistakes. Oh, and being “embarrassed” is not you. It is just a feeling that will disappear when you do what is necessary to make things right. Go do it right now! The Retirement Concierge offers estate management services in conjunction with your other advisors and family. We also wrote “A 10-Step Action Plan for Defining Your Mission,” helping Boomers on the verge of retirement to plan, make and manage life transitions by guiding them through a systematic process of discovery and re-creation wherein they write their own rules, make their own plans and reinvent their own lives.

2. What are the possible consequences of seeing this event differently? 3. Is this a pattern in your life? If yes, what might be the cause of it? do you bear some responsibility, and can it be changed? 4. Are there any benefits to viewing these events negatively? How would you feel if you changed your narrative? 5. Are you so entrenched in seeing the world in negative terms that it feels like you would lose something if you reframed your story? If yes, what might you gain? When my husband died, I saw myself as just half a couple, an old, lone widow. It took the better part

of a year to reframe my perception of myself into an OK single woman who can manage her life, find support in friends, engage in interesting activities, be there for others in distress and find a new strength in going it alone. By reframing your story and trying it out several times until it becomes easy to do, you may consciously change the outcome of your life by improving your chances of better health and possibly living longer. We have all heard about self-fulfilling prophecies; this is one example. Talk about your strength in the face of adversity and your gratefulness for all the good that has come your way. It is certainly worth a try. -- 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.
MUST DO>> Last year, La Jolla Veterinary Hospital decided to take its passion for animal welfare to the greater community by creating its “Paws & Pints” fundraiser, seeking donations through live and silent auctions and other events. It apparently worked so well that the hospital is doing it again, at the La Jolla Brewing Co., 7536 Faye Ave., on Thursday, May 28, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., seeking to contribute to the well-being of homeless animals not under the venue's care. Friends of County Animals Shelters and Rancho Coastal Humane Society are partnering for this event, which will include a raffle with San Diego Padres tickets up for grabs. All proceeds will go to Friends of County Animal Shelters in memory of Peggy Howell, who passed away in 2013. PAWS & PINTS: Thursday, May 28, La Jolla Brewing Co., 7536 Faye Ave., 6:30-9 p.m.
