Village's public right-of-way is target of cleanup effort amid city code enforcement By DAVE SCHWAB
YOU DON'T SEE THIS EVERY DAY If you live in San Diego, you almost never see it from end to end. But on the heels of intense heat and humidity, Tuesday's erratic weather spawned a pretty healthy rainbow in the Bird Rock area, its welcome presence underscored by a mosaic of droplets. San Diego's uncomfortable highs were expected to return to the seasonal average this weekend, although more humidity remains a threat. PHOTO BY SHARON HINCKLEY
Fundraising campaign introduced at LJVMA's board meeting, with beautification of the Village in mind By DAVE SCHWAB Plans are in the works to polish the Jewel. As a highlight of La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s (LJVMA’s) Sept. 10 meeting, board member and bookstore owner Nancy Warwick introduced a new, community-based fundraising campaign offering incentives for merchants to clean sidewalks and beautify the Village. Warwick said the Business Improvement District’s (BID’s) design division came up with the plan to spruce up La Jolla's downtown. “We’ve been thinking of ways to raise money to clean up the sidewalks in the Village, and we’ve come up with a fundraising campaign, Sparkle and Shine, that would allow participating businesses to have their names placed on banners,” said Warwick. Warwick said those contributing to the fundraising campaign will have their names placed on three promotional banners LJVMA will raise around town, possibly including one on Torrey Pines Road, where upward of 35,000 vehicles travel daily. “It (the campaign) would be something for the community to be proud of and recognize merchants for doing something very generous — and very needed,” Warwick said. “Once cleanup is done throughout the Village, leftover money
could be used to do trash cleanup, maybe add a few extra trash cans and some small landscaping,” said LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune. The Sparkle & Shine campaign will be conducted from December to March of 2015, allowing merchants and residents to purchase eight-foot-tall banners with their names on them at a cost of $400 a month to be strategically placed throughout the community. Tax-deductible, cleanup-campaign contributions will be deposited in an account with the nonprofit La Jolla Town Foundation. Those funds will be used only for cleaning La Jolla Village. “This isn’t just about the businesses; it’s for everybody,” said Warwick about the cleanup campaign’s purpose and impact on La Jolla. For more information, call (858) 454-5718 or email info@lajollabythesea.com. At its September meeting, the Business Improvement District (BID), representing about 1,400 merchants in the 30-block area of La Jolla’s downtown Village, also dismissed concerns expressed during the group’s August meeting that exploring revenue-generating alternatives would rekindle community debate over paid parking. “We’re not bringing up parking the subject was not even on the

With the aid of the city and code enforcement, coastal communities like La Jolla are cleaning up their acts, eliminating illegal signage and intrusions into the public right-of-way (PROW). “We want to make this an educational process, not a shaming of business owners,” said Sheila Fortune, executive director of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVM), a business improvement district (BID). Through the public right-of-way enhancement program, merchants with ground-level storefronts in the city’s 12 BIDs are able to use the sidewalks in front of their businesses to place A-frame signs, limited displays of merchandise and outdoor cafés without railings. The PROW program is designed to provide a lively experience for pedestrians and diners and give merchants more leeway to expand their businesses, enhancing profit. But there are rules to be followed by merchants and guidelines to be met. “The San Diego Municipal Code prohibits unpermitted encroachments in the public right-of-way including, but not limited to: portable A-frame signs, certain
Merchants set elections, mixer as 16 candidates issue statements La Jolla Village Merchants Association, the nonprofit group that creates economic development policies and programs to enhance business in La Jolla, will hold its board of directors elections Wednesday, Oct. 8, with 16 candidates contending for 10 positions. Voting is open to all merchants in the Village business improvement district possessing a current business-tax certificate. About 1,400 businesses are members of the association. Voting is set for 8:30 a.m. at the Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave. Results will be made public directly after the meeting. On Tuesday, Sept. 30, the association will host a “Meet the Candidates” gathering from 5 to 7 p.m. at We Olive, 1158 Prospect St. Light appetizers and tea will be offered, with a cash bar for beer and wine.

types of outdoor display items, umbrellas and other impediments in the PROW,” said Mike Richmond, deputy director of the code enforcement division for the city is Development Services Department. Richmond noted BIDs like La Jolla’s have a “certain amount of flexibility” in allowing changes related to PROW enhancement. And the city’s there to make sure PROW program standards are instituted and maintained. “The Code Enforcement Division of the Development Services Department conducts investigations and enforcement of PROW encroachments on a complaint basis,” said Richmond. “This includes business locations outside of the BID boundaries or locations within BID areas where the BID has not been able to get voluntary compliance through their required notification process,” he said. Once a code violation is identified by the division investigator, an administrative citation warning is issued that describes the required compliance requirements and time deadline, Richmond said. “If compliance is not achieved by that deadline,” he added, “an administrative citation with a monetary fine is issued. These citations may be appealed by the responsible party, which requires an administrative hearing before an independent administrative

Planning group votes down parade name change following request for closure of streets BY DAVE SCHWAB A routine request to close down streets to host the annual December La Jolla Christmas Parade turned into a debate over making the parade’s name faith-neutral, which was voted down 9-5-2 by La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) trustees in September. The meeting took an unanticipated twist as Cindy Marten, San Diego Unified School District superintendent, speaking on her own behalf as a private citizen, supported the ongoing effort to remove Christmas from the La Jolla parade name and have it changed to something more generic like “holiday.” “Yes, I do support looking at a
name for the parade that is faith-neutral and inclusive of all faiths and cultures,” emailed Marten after the meeting. “While the parade may be privately funded, the use of public city streets makes it a community event.” Marten said a discussion over a possible name change “offers us the opportunity as a wider community to have a meaningful, collaborative discussion about inclusivity that allows people to express their opinions without judgment and with politics aside. This is especially timely, given the increasing diversity of our American workplace, a good thing, and the associated challenges with observing religious-based holidays.” Marten said the issue of changing the parade name “may be a question
for local school leaders to discuss whether participation in events with faith-based names is appropriate. I am not suggesting specific action or a future agenda item – just that it may be timely to have a more global discussion.” A couple of LJCPA trustees and private citizens said they felt discussion of

the parade name change was inappropriate, given that the item was agendized strictly as a traffic and transportation-related street closure, with no mention of the proposed parade name change. In other action: • Following debate, trustees voted 10-1-4 to reject a city letter which
maintained that LJCPA violated its bylaws by not immediately seating disputed board candidate architect Michael Morton. • Trustees gave thumbs up to plans by George Hauer to convert his 1250 Prospect St. restaurant to expand his rooftop dining terrace. The vote was 10-4-2.
diving equipment areas as well as creating a new community gathering area taking advantage of the natural ocean side setting. “We have a beautiful place (Cove); we also have some problems,” said Ahern noting the existing restroom is not only blocking ocean views but is also “smelly, moldy, wet and dirty.” “We could do better,” he said adding, “It’s falling apart — literally.” Ahern said the concept is to move the restroom over to the side somewhere to improve the viewshed. He also said Safdie Rabines Architects has been chosen to do preliminary design work for the Pavilion. But he added there is an immediate timeline to meet on the project. “We need $26,000 by the end of the month for design work,” Ahern said. Noting the poor condition of restrooms at the Cove, which has as many as 5 million visitors annually, has a direct impact on businesses nearby, Marengo said he “wholeheartedly supports” the concept of Pavilion improvements. “Will you keep the grass out there?” asked Glen Rasmussen from the audience, noting saltwater contamination of Cove landscaping is problematic. “We would keep the grass,” replied Ahern, noting that’s a major draw of the Cove which attracts everyone from swimmers and divers to triathletes. LJVMA’s vote in favor of the Pavil-
ion’s preliminary plan was unanimous. La Jolla Art & Wine Festival
Sherry Ahern, promoting the sixth annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, said “one more street” and “80 more artists” have been added this year to the event, which will be held Oct. 11 and 12 in the downtown Village. Also new this year will be a brewfest featuring local craft brews as well as a beer stein-holding contest. Cost for the brewfest is $35, which includes unlimited tasting of craft brews. Fashion Week coming to La Jolla
Allison Andrews of Fashion Week San Diego successfully pitched the LJVMA on the idea of bringing the weeklong event held at the end of September and early October to the Village next year. Noting the event is a “traditional fashion week focusing on emerging designers from around the world,” Andrews said, “I’d love to work with LJVMA to make this the new home of Fashion Week for 2015.” Asked if this were a one-year thing or whether La Jolla could be a permanent venue for the event, Andrews said she was amenable to considering that. A motion was made and approved to support having Fashion Week San Diego come to the Village in 2015 pending community approval of plans to close off streets to accommodate event activities both during portions of the day and at night.

Woman given detention in La Jolla Bank fraud A woman who pleaded guilty to making a false statement to a federal agent about her role in obtaining a $1.8 million fraudulent loan from a failed La Jolla bank was sentenced Sept. 12 to eight months of home detention. Laura Ortuondo, 33, of Cupertino, was placed on three years' probation and fined $3,000 from U.S. District Court Judge Anthony Battaglia in San Diego. Ortuondo worked for Spring Valley businessman Annand Sliuman, 33, who owned numerous companies. Sliuman pleaded guilty to bank bribery. His sentencing date was changed recent-
ly to Feb. 27. The bank funded the $1.8 million loan after Ortuondo submitted two documents that falsely said the IRS released tax liabilities and liens on one of Sliuman’s businesses. Court records allege that Sliuman bribed an unnamed manager at La Jolla Bank in order to get the loan. So far, no other people have been charged by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, a prosecutor said Sept. 12. La Jolla Bank failed in February of 2010 and was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The bank ran up
a debt of about $1 billion, according to the prosecutor. It reopened later as One West Bank. Court documents also say Ortuondo destroyed a personal computer that contained evidence of obstructing the investigation into the failed loan. The loan was guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Sliuman faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison but could receive a lesser sentence if he agrees to pay restitution of $2.15 million. He remains free on $15,000 bond. — Neal Putnam
Murder charge added in La Jolla DUI death A murder charge has been filed against an alleged drunken motorist who made a U-turn on Morena Boulevard and killed a La Jolla waiter on his way home from work on his motorcycle. Initially, Jeremy Salcedo, 26, of San Diego, was charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in the death of Bryan Delaney on July 25. Delaney died at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla on Aug. 3. It is also alleged that he fled the scene. He is also charged with driving with a suspended license after a drunken-driving convic-
tion. Deputy District Attorney Geoff Allard said the murder charge was filed after his office reviewed Salcedo’s three prior convictions for drunken driving in San Bernardino County, one in 2006 and two in 2013. Allard said recidivist drunken drivers are made aware they could be faced with a murder charge if they get into another crash while they are intoxicated and someone is killed. Salcedo posted $100,000 bond after the vehicular manslaughter charge, but the bail increased to
$500,000 when the murder charge was added. Court records show Salcedo posted the $500,000 bond. Delaney, 36, who reportedly worked at George's at the Cove at the time of his death, served three years in the Navy. He was buried in Andover, New Hampshire, where his parents and other family members live. Salcedo has pleaded not guilty to all charges in San Diego Superior Court. A preliminary hearing has been set for Nov. 18.

Six-state initiative fails to make 2016 ballot A ballot initiative that would have asked voters whether they wish to split California into six states failed to qualify for the ballot in 2016, the secretary of state’s office has reported. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper submitted 1.37 million signatures in July in support of the measure, saying the state, with 38.3 million people, has become ungovernable because it has too many diverse interests for politicians to effectively represent their constituents. A sampling of signatures from
all 58 counties found that just 66 percent were projected to be valid. The effort fell more than 500,000 signatures short of the 807,000 needed to make the ballot. Draper, who has put more than $5 million into the effort, sought to split California into six states, called Jefferson, North California, Silicon Valley, Central California, West California and South California. On Sept. 12, he said that he believed enough signatures were valid and that a full review would prove that. Critics say Draper’s plan would
have separated the wealthiest and poorest Californians, potentially creating some of the poorest states in the nation. Former California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez headed a campaign opposing the measure Six Californias “would have created massive inequities among our states and caused chaos in our state’s water, energy, higher education, transportation and other systems,” he said in a written statement.

QuickHITS >> DecoBike releases map of rental station sites DecoBike San Diego, seeking to help privately fund, implement and operate a citywide bike share program, has released a map of bikeshare station locations to be installed prior to its Oct. 30 launch. The map includes 113 sites, and DecoBike is continuing to work with property owners and the community on remaining sites that will complete the network of 180 bike sharing stations. In 2013, DecoBike signed a tenyear contract with the city to create a citywide network of bike-share stations for short-term rentals. DecoBike stations will be located in communities from Pacific Beach to San Ysidro, providing a network wherein patrons can rent a bike at one location and drop it off at another. La Jolla community planners recently rejected a plan to install stations in the neighborhood. The Oct. 30 launch will take place downtown and in other communities, with the rest of the network going online in ensuing months. To view a map of the approved sites, see DecoBikeSanDiego.com. Safety measures ramp up following Fiesta crash Traffic and engineering improvements, including speed signs and directional arrows, are being made on Fiesta Island in the wake of a recent accident during which nearly two dozen cyclists were hit by a wrong-way motorist suspected of driving under the influence of drugs. The accident left several of the bikers injured, one critically. “All of these improvements can go in relatively soon without requests for additional funding,” said Craig Gustafson, press aide to Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “We expect everything to be installed by mid-October.” Theresa Lynn Owens, 49, has pleaded not guilty to felony charges of driving under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of methamphetamine. She recently was ordered held on $300,000 bail. Deputy District Attorney Jessica Coto said Owens drove the wrong way on a one-way road about 6:30 p.m., plowing into the group of 16 to 20 cyclists while traveling about 30 to 35 miles an hour, hitting 10 of the riders head-on as they were going around a blind curve. Owens was transported to a hospital, where a bag of methamphetamine was found in a body cavity, the prosecutor said. Toxicology results are pending. Fiesta Island, located in Mission Bay, has a 5-mile-an-hour zone on its east side that lures many water sports enthusiasts.
and Tijuana, launched a web-based resource for information pertaining to the removal of lead from candy. The website, leadfreecandy.org, provides information on lead poisoning, how to keep children safe from all sources of lead and how the coalition and its partners took action to regulate contaminated candies in California. It contains downloadable fliers of frequently asked questions abut lead, lists of popular lead-free candies and educational materials. In the early 2000s, lead was found in a variety of candy products sold in California. After a thorough investigation, the coalition, the California Attorney General’s Office and several other parties successfully filed a lawsuit to demand manufacturing processes eliminate lead in candy products. To keep children safe, candy manufacturers now undergo regular audits to ensure compliance. Blood-borne lead can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, hyperactivity and reduced IQs. Tourism group launches La Jolla marketing blitz The San Diego Tourism Authority has launched a plan to market La Jolla, Mission Valley and Mission Bay to travel writers in the United States and Canada, with the hope of portraying the Jewel as a luxury destination — at a cost of $3 million. Robert Arends, the authority's public relations manager, has recently held meetings with editors in Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, British Columbia, noting that the authority will host several travel writers for an expenses-paid tour of La Jolla in November. The yearlong publicity boost began in July 1. Rita Moore, director of sales and marketing for La Valencia Hotel, said more tourism equals more money and thus more tax revenue. Meanwhile, Grande Colonial Hotel manager Terry Underwood announced the formation of a hotel advisory committee for La Jolla, including hotel managers from the Village and nearby areas. Announcement of the launch was made at the August meeting of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association.

UCSD group gets $5.1 million grant to accelerate diagnoses of autism Autism spectrum disorder is now estimated to impact one in every 68 children born in the United States. Yet despite its rising prevalence and the known benefits of early detection and treatment, toddlers in much of the United States are routinely not identified as possibly having the disorder until well after their third birthday. By that time, much brain development has already occurred. A new five-year, $5.1 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health has been earmarked to remedy that by expanding an effort to reduce the mean age of disorder diagnosis in multiple cities across the U.S. The program, called Get SET Early, is based upon a one-year well-baby check that Karen Pierce, UCSD School of Medicine neurosciences professor and assistant director of the UCSD Autism Center of Excellence,

A recent survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found that children with autism living in Phoenix were typically not identified until they were almost 5 years old. In her study, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, Pierce and colleagues created a network of 137 pediatricians in the San Diego region and asked them to include a brief assessment at the toddlers’ traditional oneyear health checkup. The assessment consisted of parents or caregivers answering entries on a questionnaire that queried about a child’s use of eye contact, sounds, words, gestures, object recog-
nition and other forms of age-appropriate communication. Any infant who failed the screening was referred to the UCSD Autism Center of Excellence for further testing and re-evaluation every six months until age 3. While the NIMH grant will initially test the feasibility of establishing the Get SET Early model in Phoenix, research and testing will also continue in San Diego to assess the efficacy of new improvements like repeat an Internet-based tracking of referrals and treatment. “By creating a simple screening, evaluation and treatment initiation and tracking model,” Pierce said, “we hope to establish national standards so that one day ASD detection and treatment between the first and second birthday will happen for all children.”

Anonymous donation fuels Scripps’ plans for ocean-study hardware An anonymous donor to UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography has committed $500,000 to bring sensor, instrument and platform concepts developed by Scripps scientists to completion, enabling creation of equipment that will allow new types of measurements, detection and extended power capabilities for ocean research. “This generous gift will accelerate our ability to observe and measure the ocean through the development of a new generation of viable research instruments,” said Margaret Leinen, Scripps Oceanography director. “We are grateful for this investment from a donor with the vision to support the transformative research interests of our innovative scientists.” Underwater cameras and microscopes allow scientists to look closely, even in 3-D, at freely floating, minute organisms that drift with water currents. These close-ups provide unprecedented views of critical components of the marine environment. Many federal sources of funding for the projects' instrumentation are focused on developing new instrument concepts – research into instrumentation rather than deployable instruments – making it difficult to secure funding. Meanwhile, Scripps researchers
have developed many innovative inventions, such as floats, gliders, cameras, 3-D microscopes, earthquake sensors and pH detectors for ocean acidification. The donor, therefore, sought to support unique equipment development not commercially available or fabricated from off-the-shelf components. Proposal criteria focused on completing new instruments. A rigorous competitive process narrowed the field from 27 proposal submissions and resulted in awards for innovation and invention to three Scripps research teams: Making spectrophotometric seawater pH measurements convenient: Andrew Dickson, professor of marine chemistry, Scripps Marine Physical Laboratory With increasing levels of carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere and dissolving into seawater, the world's oceans are becoming more acidic. The Dickson laboratory provides reference samples of seawater that are used to ensure worldwide uniformity in measurements of these changes. An automated system that can efficiently make reliable and precise measurements of the pH of seawater samples is
critical to the study of ocean acidification. Dickson has a prototype precision pH measuring system that uses a spectrophotometric approach to measure the color of a pH indicator dye. With this funding, he and his team will optimize the existing system to produce a system more compact and better suited for widespread laboratory use. Scripps plankton camera system: Jules Jaffe, research oceanographer, Scripps Marine Physical Laboratory Jaffe is the innovator of new technology for observing oceanic phenomena and the development of inverse techniques for their interpretation. Funds will enable complete development of the Scripps Plankton Camera System (a prototype dark-field zooplankton microscope system initiated under separate funding) and support its operation for at least one year. This new funding will also support the addition of a higher-resolution phytoplankton imaging system. The installation will consist of two in situ dark field microscopes with compact computers performing realtime image processing and object detection. Output from these microscopes will be broadcast to the Internet, where

Mason’s team Scripps study fuels tests on drinking preventive over showed that gabapentin decreased the On the strength of a successful study on alcoholism conducted by the Scripps Research Institute, the National Institutes of Health and Santa Clara-based XenoPort, Inc. have announced they will test an extended-release version of an anti-convulsant drug in preventing heavy drinking relapses in adults with alcohol-use disorder. XenoPort will be supplying the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism with its anticonvulsant gabapentin enacarbil to conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in 350 adults with alcohol use disorder who are or will be abstinent at the beginning of the study. The alcoholism institute will assume the costs and logistics for executing the trial. XenoPort will have access to the
study data to support a potential supplementary new drug application for gabapentin in supporting alcohol abstinence in heavy drinkers. Gabapentin is approved to treat restless legs syndrome and to manage nerve pain that often follows a bout of shingles, the rash from herpes zoster infection. In the fall of 2013, a team led by Scripps alcohol researcher Barbara Mason tested two dose levels of generic gabapentin versus a placebo in a trial with 150 male volunteers that ran for 12 weeks, half the length of the proposed alcoholism institute study. The volunteers, who had no idea if their were getting gabapentin or the placebo, had clinically defined alcoholuse disorder but had to commit to reducing or eliminating their drinking
number of heavy drinking days (more than five drinks per day) over the placebo and quadrupled the percentage of men who remained abstinent from alcohol during those 12 weeks. The men came into the study with 14 to 15 years of heavy drinking, their consumption ranging from 41 to 47 drinks a week. An indicator of alcoholuse disorder is consumption of more than 14 drinks a week for men. The alcoholism institute anticipates beginning patient enrollment and dosing at the beginning of 2015. About 18 million Americans have an alcohol-use disorder, according to an article in the September issue of the National Institutes of Health's News in Health. — Scripps Research Institute

C-Gen: power generation for remote oceanographic instruments from ambient ocean currents: Drew Lucas,Matthew Alford, Michael Goldin, and Robert Pinkel, Scripps Marine Physical Laboratory With this gift, the Scripps science team will construct an electrical power generator that uses the energy of ocean currents to provide power for individual oceanographic sensors. Generating 1 to 10 watts from a compact, simple device will address a modern, practical oceanographic challenge: the power limitation of long-term oceanographic observations. The project will deploy the generator in a “clip-on” mode, where it attaches to a conventional sensor package and continually recharges sensor batteries. Alternatively, it can be deployed within a moored string of instruments to power clusters of sensors or along optical-fiber communications lines to enable the transfer of data from remote instruments back to shore.

Medication mistakes can be dangerous
Collagen Induction Therapy
Every year 1.5 million people are injured or become seriously ill when a medication mistake happens and 100,000 people a year die from the mistake. It is important for everyone to protect themselves from possible mistakes. Knowing how to avoid mistakes is important for everyone. Confusing two medications with similar names accounts for up to 25 percent of errors. Sometimes the doctor’s handwriting is misread, the wrong medicine name is put into the computer or the wrong drug is pulled from the pharmacy shelf but it happens. Drugs that could be confused might be Adderall (a stimulant for ADHD) with Inderal (a beta-blocker for high blood pressure), or Paxil (an antidepressant) with Taxol (a cancer drug) or Plavix (an anticlotting medication). Ask your doctor to write on the prescription what it’s for as well as the name and dosage. If the pharmacist sees high blood pressure but the name of the drug is an antidepressant, it should be a red flag for the pharmacist. Sometimes drugs can interfere with each other because of their side effects. One drug can magnify the other or one drug can magnify a side effect of the other. If you take one medication that says a side effect can raise blood pressure and then you take a second medication with the same side effect, the two together could cause your blood pressure to get dangerously high. So ask your pharmacist and doctor about side effects, read the written printouts and review and compare them. The RN Care Manager at Innovative Healthcare Consultants is experienced and knowledgeable about reviewing all medications to insure against drug interactions and errors. Her job is to make sure these errors don’t happen for the client. If you’re concerned about a loved one and the possibility of a medication mistake, call us at (760) 731-1334 or www.innovativehc.com for more information.

For better or worse, La Jolla is getting what it's been wishing for By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN Eateries with the handle “Azul” have recently closed in Seattle, San Francisco, Albuquerque and San Antonio; and now San Diego has added an entry to the list with the Sept. 2 closure of The Steakhouse at Azul La Jolla. The acclaimed Donovan's Prime Steakhouse purchased the eatery from owner The Brigantine, Inc. and will assume the space sometime late this year or early next after 15 years at its La Jolla Village Drive location across from Westfield UTC. Donovan's will probably fit in well at 1250 Prospect St., a tiny little enclave that's recently seen some big-city commerce close up. Restaurateur George Hauer, owner of the ever-popular George's at the Cove, recently won approval to expand his Ocean Terrace outdoor dining locale there, and a few nearby venues have scurried in and out in the last several years (the opening of the fine The Hake restaurant and The Morrison Hotel Gallery's sad passing are notable examples). But 1250 Prospect St. alone does not a neighborhood make. Even during the Great Recession, well-heeled La Jolla managed to add 4,000 residents, That brings its population to about 48,000, up 6,000 from the turn of the century. With numbers like that and amid its topographic sprawl, the area seems more like a small city (it's twice the size of Lemon Grove and has only 7,000 fewer residents than Santee), and, for better or worse, attendant changes to its village character are taking place on the same scale. One recent news item involves the sale of the building at 7545 Girard Ave., somewhat south of the Prospect locale. The transaction is notable in that Harry's

La Jolla Boulevard is awash in new construction, with mixeduse facilities, single-family dwellings and luxury homes dotting the plans. The Holiday Inn Express is getting up to 20 new suites; Bella Bridesmaids has rented space; and the remodel of a private home near Carla Way has traffic moving at a slower pace. The boulevard's sprawl absorbs a lot of the activity, but tell that to the contractors who La Jolla's popular Azul is to close negotiated the projects and the immediately amid a transfer of owner- laborers who built them. ship.

Morberg has served as the company’s interim chief executive officer since May and as chief financial officer and general counsel since January of 2007. “Over the past couple of months,” said board member Bud Terry. “John has demonstrated outstanding leadership as the interim CEO and has been working on improving the guest experience in the restaurants. After completing a thorough search, we are confident John is the right leader to take Garden Fresh to the next level.” “After the last two months as interim CEO,” Morberg said, “I am more energized than ever to capitalize on the potential of our strong brand that is even more relevant to today’s health-conscious consumers.

Fortune talked about what LJVMA and the city are looking for in terms of eliminating illegal signage and visual clutter. “Signs cannot completely block the public right-of-way,” Fortune said. “Any signs in La Jolla that are freestanding must be on private property.” Noting it “can get a little tricky” determining where a private-property line divides into the PROW, Fortune offered this general guideline. “Most times,” she said, “a person can tell by looking at the front of the business and following the façade of the building structure and any overhangs of the building. That should be the footprint of the building and private property. The remainder of the sidewalk is the PROW.” Fortune said that illegal sandwich boards have proliferated in the Village over the years due to a

number of factors, including the downturn in the economy; the city’s labor-force cuts and lack of staff to perform compliance inspections; lack of tourists visiting and patronizing establishments; and the need for locals to shop local. “This all fueled the need to do whatever (was) necessary for the merchants to attract business … thus, more and more signs were put in the PROW,” said Fortune. She said the LJVMA’s contract with the city gives it the responsibility of managing La Jolla’s PROW. “This is a huge task and very time consuming, considering how large our BID is,” Fortune said. “Trying to educate the merchants is a job that has been ongoing for the last couple of years.” Fortune said the city's Department of Neighborhood Code Compliance has recently hired more inspectors led by Duke Fernandez, senior land development investigator.

Scripps Radiation Therapy responded when a grateful patient needed it most I am writing to give recognition for the excellent performances of treatments which were given to me recently at Scripps Radiation Therapy Center. On July 17, I was a passenger in a car accident in Woodburn, Ore. Because of the injuries I received, I was seen and treated at a hospital emergency room. The second time I had to go to the emergency room, it was discovered during tests that I had cancer. Returning to California, I went immediately down to Scripps in La Jolla, where my primary doctor is (I live in central California). I saw my doctor, Bradley Patay, and gave him all records from my emergency-room visits in Oregon. He had new tests done starting that very day. From the moment I saw Dr. Patay to my last radiation treat-
ment three weeks later, it was nonstop. I had state-of-the-art tests, doctors, technicians et cetera, working to fight for me and with me. If I had been anywhere else, I would today still be waiting for tests and treatments. I learned something very valuable in the last three whirlwind weeks: I can literally entrust my life to Scripps and all the wonderful people who worked to help me. I want to give a commendation to some remarkable people; they deserve credit where credit is due and recognition for their unwavering dedication to their patients. Never once did I have to wait for a procedure, appointment or report. What a fantastic team you all are! I know it is not unusual there at Scripps for this kind of excellence,
because everyone at Scripps that I came in contact with were absolutely wonderful to me, and I appreciate every one of you. What a fantastic team you all are! I want the following people to get the recognition they deserve for exceptional, outstanding performance: Dr. Bradley Patay, first and foremost, for being the engineer of it all. He wasted no time getting the ball rolling, and he put me in the hands of the best! I am eternally grateful! You are my hero! And Mina, thank you for your kindness, patience and support. What a nice person you are! Dr. Ray Lin at the Radiation Therapy Center and his outstanding crew: no better hands could I have been in. Dr. Lin gave me the confi-
dence and determination to go on with hope. I am eternally grateful! Kristi G., you made the treatments actually enjoyable. Thank you so much! Phillip J., you were a delight and made treatments a happy time for me. Bless you! Amy D., your smiles and humor helped me through the process. Thank you! Marlene, your patience and understanding was a blessing, and you never once made me feel as if I were a bother. Thank you for that! Lilia Angulo, you are a receptionist extraordinaire! Dr. Alan Sawn, division of hematology/oncology. What a remarkable man and doctor! Lynn Grawunder, Green Cancer Center. Thanks for the encourage-
ment and support, and I love the wig and hat. You are such an asset to the Cancer Center. Dr. Harry Knowles, who did the biopsy and the nurses in recovery; Kate and Cheryl, whose smiles and friendliness helped me at a difficult time; Dr. Burdick, heart, lung and vascular specialist; and helpful and pleasant Melody, in medical records: Every last one of these people responded to me as if they had a personal investment in my getting well. Thank you one and all for making a frightening and desperate experience be so smooth-going, and thank you beyond words for giving me my life back. I'll never forget you all, ever!

HOT TIMES ON THE BAY Taylor Rhodes, company president of Hot Tub Cruisin, shows off the unique rental feature that is catching on for water lovers, romantics and adventurers at Mission Bay. PHOTO BY DAVE SCHWAB
Romantics, water lovers getting bubbly over hot-tub cruise rentals By DAVE SCHWAB Young entrepreneurs are bringing something new to the recreational mix of water sports and entertainment on Mission Bay. Along with boating, jet skiing and paddleboarding, ocean users can now go Hot Tub Cruisin. That’s the name of a company launched recently by the Rhodes brothers, originally from Washington state. The family-owned and operated business has set up shop in San Diego after launching the first pontoon-style hot-tub boat ever to ply Mission Bay. “My brothers and I grew up in Spokane sailing cold mountain lakes,” company president Taylor Rhodes said, “and the running joke with our dad was always, ‘Why can’t you just put a hot tub on the boat?’ When my brothers and I graduated from college and wanted to start our career paths and take on some endeavor, we loved this idea.” So the Rhodes family’s triplets did some background research putting together a design and business plan — and Hot Tub Cruisin was born. The company, which launched this summer, subleases its hot-tub boat operation out
of Mission Bay Sport Center, at 1010 Santa Clara Place in Mission Beach. It rents its pontoon-style craft seating up to 10 guests for a flat rate of $215 an hour for up to four hours. There’s a barbecue and an 18-gallon deck cooler onboard, and guests can bring their own food and drinks. The craft is also equipped with a Bluetooth-capable sound system with wrap-around seating to take advantage of the views. Hot Tub Cruisin’s pitch is that clients can “enjoy the bay any day,” whatever the reason — a birthday or special event, a date, a company outing or just a summer-night spin to catch a fireworks display. “We’re hitting every demographic: college students and young professionals all the way up to families and businesses going out together on groups on a Friday afternoon,” Rhodes said. Rhodes said no one has yet asked to get married on his Jacuzz cruise, “but we’ve reached out to some wedding planners, and they’ve made suggestions to people,” he said. The cruise, however, has attracted a fair amount of bachelor and bachelorette parties because of its attractive and unique venue for such fun-oriented excursions.
So far, Cruisin’s skipper hasn’t done much advertising. He said he hasn’t had to. “It’s a floating advertisement,” Rhodes said. “While the boat is out, we get four or five calls from people who’ve seen it going by, asking, ‘What’s the deal? Is it really a hot tub?’” Rhodes said Hot Tub Cruisin, for a variety of reasons, usually isn’t a tough sell. “It’s a unique, luxurious experience,” he said about partying and dining in a hot tub out on the ocean. He said the hot tub is drained and refilled after every excursion. “We fill it back up with water at a temperature of 104 degrees,” he explaied, adding the temperature can be adjusted at the customer’s request. Is this the start of something bigger? Rhodes said he doesn’t want his company to get too far ahead of itself. “Now that summer’s over, we’re going to take a step back and consider things,” he said. “There’s a ton of interest to bring this to other venues.” For more information or to make a reservation, visit hottubcruisin.com, or call (619) 905-5100.

La Jolla’s Star shines at San Diego Fashion Week preview Fashion Files
Diana Cavagnaro
On Sept. 4, La Jolla-based Star Fashion previewed some of its Fashion Week San Diego designs at the Valencia Hotel. Fashion Week founder and director Allison Andrews was on hand to greet the guests, and DJ Noel 2033 (Brandon Noel) set the mood with entertaining music. CA Botana, a sponsor of this event and a California-based leader in the development of natural and organic personal skin and body care products, handed out goodies to the attendees. The spotlight for the afternoon was on Wilhelmina, who began Star Fashion House of La Jolla in 1994. Everyone was delighted to see a special preview of the new line from Wilhelmina, whose fashion house specializes in high-end evening gowns and cocktail dresses. The runway was informal, with modeling of beautiful long and short dresses inside and outside on
the patio. They sported gorgeous updos and some wore intricate milkmaid braids. Star Fashion House is located at 1110 Torrey Pines Road, Suite D. Wilhelmina will show her collection at Fashion Week on Saturday, Oct. 4. It begins Sept. 29 at Broadway Pier, 1000 N. Harbor Drive. The lineup includes art and beauty behind fashion, with a hair and makeup runway show to be presented by Bellus Academy; a Woven Together runway show, with knitwear, children’s wear and RCHS dogs; a SoCal Style runway show, with Southern California designers; the Gentlemen and Ladies runway show (the menswear night), and the Finale Night runway show, with gowns and avant garde designs. On Sunday, Oct. 5, the week concludes with a trunk show at the Horton Grand Hotel and Theatre.

Balboa Theatre is site of SD Opera recital (and a traffic jam) What a way to open an opera season! When San Diego Opera education director Nicolas Reveles and board chairwoman Carol Lazier walked onto the stage of the Balboa Theatre on Sept. 5, the audience greeted them so raucously it sounded like we were at a football game. Reveles is among staff members who saved the opera from closure, and Lazier became board chairwoman last spring, when numerous board members, who’d voted to shut down, stormed off in protest. Needless to say, most of the departed were absent from the traffic-jamcausing recital, billed as the first event of the company’s 2014-15 season, in celebration of its miracle 50th anniversary. The event, featuring Ailyn Pérez and Stephen Costello in recital, was hardly an opera, not even a substitute for an opera production. However, the stars surpassed their advance promo and more than filled the stage with their lively, amazing work, beautifully accompanied by Danielle Orlando. Pérez wore three gowns, and she and her husband, Costello, were scrump-
tious. It was the classical music event of the season. ‘Pianist’ at the Rep The musical motif continued with Hershey Felder’s “The Pianist of Willesden Lane” at San Diego Repertory Theatre’s Lyceum (through Sept. 28). It’s a must-see one-woman show Felder adapted from pianist Mona Golabek’s acclaimed book, “The Children of Willesden Lane.” Felder also directs the piece, in which Golabek, a fine concert pianist and actor, portrays her Viennese mother, Lisa Jura, who in 1938, at age 14, was sent to London via the kindertransport, designed to transport warthreatened children to Great Britain. She survived the London Blitz, entertaining other Jewish war orphans with whom she lived out the war. Among others, the composers are Edvard Grieg, Ludwig van Beethoven and Alexander Scriabin.

Athenaeum's Murals of La Jolla is a popular wall-to-wall project If necessity is the mother of invention, then the Great Depression gave birth to public art in the United States. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's effort to fuel the country's collapsing workforce resulted in collections of free-standing whatzits, whoozies and flibbertygibbets on the street and at adjoining exteriors, supplying artists with jobs and Mr. and Mrs. America with stuff to talk about in passing. The era's Art in Architecture program helped create a principle of thought among creators and their millions of patrons — that true public art must truly belong to the public. That was then and this is now,
and in between, the principle hasn't changed a bit. If you don't believe us, then by all means, go take a peek at the 13 entries that make up the Murals of La Jolla project, begun in 2010 by the La Jolla Community Foundation and currently overseen by the people at The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. The Athenaeum holds free monthly walking tours of the artwork (the latest is set for Wednesday, Sept. 24, the last event until March of next year), and the murals feature everything from topical nautical themes to ponderous stills, reflecting several sides of the local public experience.
Lynda Forsha, project curator, concurs that variety is the spice of the program's life. The Athenaeum, she said, “has been very deliberate about the variety of work, about wanting to work with the artist and create a feel for the community and for the artist. These [patrons] always have questions about the muralist and the idea behind the mural, how it was created. These are involved, curious people who want to come back often. They'll go on one tour and ask 'Can I come on tour B?' because their interest was [piqued] the first time.” A maximum of 30 can take the walk, and Forsha said there's
invariably a healthy waiting list following an event. The installations are staggered amid the Athenaeum's consensus, Forsha said. “We don't expect everyone to love every mural, because they're always different,” Forsha said, “but we always get a responsive group.” Murals by John Baldessari, Gajin Fujita, Anya Gallaccio, Robert Ginder, Ann Hamilton, Robert Irwin/Philipp Scholz Rittermann, Nina Katchadourian, Kim MacConnel, Ryan McGinness, Roy McMakin, Richard Allen Morris, Catherine Opie, Julian Opie and Fred Tomaselli have been installed
BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN throughout La Jolla, which bears little resemblance to cities from a darker economic time in our history. But art is required to reflect the good times as well as the bad — and by accounts, Murals of La Jolla has the public's attentions accordingly. The Sept. 24 tour begins at the Athenaeum, 1008 Wall St., at 5:30 p.m. and runs until 7. Reservations are suggested and are available at (858) 454-5872. For more information, including a map fo mural sites, see muralsoflajolla.com.

Over the last two years, the Sephardic Kehillah of San Diego has taken its place as a vibrant, welcoming religious community, steeped in ancient Moroccan-style Kabbalistic Sephardic tradition yet modern in its embrace of all walks of life, including the Israeli Jews whose presence adds a strong Hebrew flavor to its bilingual services. Chief among the adherents is Rabbi Yonatan Halevy, affectionately known as Rabbi Yoni. Yoni's practice is long on worldly experience — he studied at the Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore for five years before pursuing his ordination at Jerusalem's Sheheber Sephardic Center, specializing in the laws of Kashrut, Marriage and Family Purity. Yoni founded the Jerusalem Rabbinical Academy in 2010, closing it two years later and graduating 11 American Kashrut supervisors.
While in Jerusalem, he was a rabbi and teacher at Yeshivat Orayta and Israelight's coordinator of alumni affairs and rabbinical education. He's taught classes in Tanach, Mishnah, Talmud, Zohar, Halachah, Mussar, Chassidic philosophy and lectures on a wide range of issues in Judaism. Yoni relocated to San Diego after four years in Jerusalem. He's married to Rabbanit Devorah, his partner and supporter in all things good and spiritual co-leader at the Sephardic Kehillah of San Diego and a social work student at Yeshivah University. Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, will be observed Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 24 through Sept 26. As it approaches, questions about the Sephardic Kehillah may arise. For more information, call Rabbi Yoni at (858) 752-1025.

Tenth annual Restaurant Week: What's in a name? BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN
The Marine Room, a 73-year-old local landmark, is trotting out a three-course menu at the eaterfriendly price of $45 per person. The fare includes the exotic-sounding Ras el Hanout spiced prawns, Loch Etive steelhead and braised Kurobuta pork cheeks. For $15 more, you can enjoy a helping of ahi tuna or center-cut Angus filet mignon. The latter two's names aren't as much fun, but that doesn't make the Marine Room any less ideal for marking the week. The restaurant, owned by the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, Inc., is located at 2000 Spindrift Drive. The number is (866) 644-2351, visit marineroom.com for more.
This year's San Diego Restaurant Week, organized by the local chapter of the California Restaurant Association, marks the end of the event's first decade, with more than 180 of the county's eateries offering prix fixe menus in their joint quest to define the art of area dining. Trouble is, the whole affair runs only seven days (Sunday, Sept. 21, through Saturday, Sept. 27), which means you'd have to hit almost 30 participating venues a day to take it all in. The job's a lot easier in La Jolla, where 35 merchants are giving the week a shot — many, if not all, are already your favorites, and the list includes the following, along with some very interesting choices Herringbone, whose $20 lunch of names of the fare: and $40-$65 dinner menus this week feature wine pairings as part Amici's East Coast Pizzeria, of the deal.

For more, come by 8980 University Center Lane; call (858) 638-1700; or visit meltingpot.com. The Shores thinks Restaurant Week is so cool that it's decided to extend it until Sunday, Oct. 5. That means that, for a paltry $25, you can lose yourself in Wasabi cured salmon, sweet-corn bisque and (for an extra $10) crispy-skin sea bass. Don't forget the flourless callebaut chocolate cake for later, and be sure to relax with a three-wine pairing (an additional $15) after the meal. The spectacular views of La Jolla Shores are yours for the taking. The Shores is located at 8110 Camino del Oro. Please call (858) 466-0600 or visit The Shores Restaurant.com for more. To see the full list of participants, visit sandiegorestaurantweek.com and click on La Jolla's little red spot on the home-page map. It's a cinch San Diego will eat itself silly next week, and La Jolla's got plenty of venues to fuel the cause.

Doing it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. This is the first in a series on the emotional states of grief. The poems are excerpted from Natasha Josefowitz’s book, “Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without: Hope and Healing after Loss.” Everyone deals with pain differently. What helps me is trying to understand it. When my husband died, the pain was so intense that I wondered whether I would survive it. I did survive and decided to learn and write about the pain of loss and the process of healing. I used my own experience after the death of my husband four years ago, my cousin and my brother two years ago, and my son last year. I also researched the literature. In order to better understand the grieving process and to discover if my experiences were universal, I
Senior Lifestyle
Seven states of loss and healing talked informally to about 50 people experiencing loss and then interviewed 12 widows and 12 widowers in depth. I used a questionnaire as a starting point, but I left it open-ended to capture more of their experiences. My criterion was that the death of the spouse should have occurred recently enough so that the memories were still fresh and often still raw. I chose subjects between the ages of 60 and 90 because this group tended to have had a long-term marriage and had parents who were no longer living and were also grown children who had their own lives and were often living far away and therefore not available on an ongoing basis. This group lived alone, with fewer resources than those who experienced the death of a spouse in an earlier part of life. (Younger people dealing with loss have very different issues—they usually have children at home, parents that are
supportive, friends and relatives and often a job or regular activities that involve a community of likeminded people.) In the older group, issues such as health and isolation were more prevalent; many friends and relatives had died or were not available due to problems with transportation. Even though people grieve in many individual ways and need different types of support — to wit, the activities that helped some were exactly what distressed others — there are common feelings and behaviors that most people exhibit in a continuum. I found that emotional states after the loss of a spouse had enough similarities that they were worth examining further. Although I have attempted to categorize these in some sort of sequence, not all people went through these emotional states. Neither did they all encounter them in the order I propose. At times, many reverted to a previous-
ly experienced state before moving on. These emotional states, painful as they feel, are the steppingstones to healing. Pre-Grief Still at Hospice We’re still here because his back is still hurting he has prostate cancer metastasized to his bones so we’re here to get some relief but the relief comes at a cost opiates put you to sleep so he lies there, only half-conscious and as the hours become days and the pain is only relieved by increasing the medications the days are turning into weeks we came here believing he would get better and come home but instead he only came home to die in a different hospital bed the one in our continuing care unit two floors up from our apartment

What I call “Pre-Grief” concerns only those whose spouses had been ill for weeks, months or even years. Those who are caregivers often reduce or drop out of their usual activities and stopped going out with friends. After the spouse dies, it is very difficult for them to re-enter the social scene. They are grieving — even if relieved after a long illness — and initiating contact feels daunting. They feel disconnected and may need to ask trusted friends to help by organizing outings and events for them to participate in as a way to start reconnecting.
If there's a cure for osteoporosis, vitamin C is it The following was produced by DeHart & Company, a Hickory, N.C. public relations firm. Most Americans believe that the best way to strengthen bones and stave osteoporosis is to ingest as much calcium as possible. No wonder: We constantly hear advice like “Drink your milk!” and (especially if we’re women of a certain age) “It’s soooo important to take your calcium supplements.” But Thomas Levy, M.D., J.D., begs to differ. He insists that an excess of calcium won’t improve bone strength or help fight osteoporosis and that the best way to protect from those is to load up on vitamin C. Yep. Vitamin C. “While many supplements can strengthen bones and help slow (or even reverse!) osteoporosis, vitamin C is one of the most effective,” says Levy, author of Death by Calcium: Proof of the Toxic Effects of Dairy and Calcium Supplements (MedFox Publishing, 2013, $29.95, deathbycalcium.com). “But to understand why, it’s first necessary to clear up a few widespread — and dangerous — myths about calcium and osteoporosis. “The problem with osteoporosis is that the body is unable to synthesize a new structural bone matrix and integrate calcium into it — an issue that more calcium doesn’t even begin to fix,” he explains. “The steady loss of calcium from osteoporotic bone is a symptom of the disease, not the cause. Actually, much of the calcium leached from the bones simply moves to other parts of the body, where it does you harm.” That’s right. Despite the good PR calcium tends to enjoy, Levy says too much of it promotes heart dis-

Scotland-born Colin Clyne says La Jolla is his musical home When Colin Clyne left his native Scotland in 2003 to follow the love of his life to sunny San Diego, he had no way of knowing all the changes the next decade would bring. He dreamed of being a musician, although he got a late start; an accident to his hand kept him away from the guitar until he was 23. Working as a seabed surveyor while in La Jolla, he became a husband and a father and slowly but surely built a career impressive by anyone’s standards. Clyne toured the West Coast, soon playing sold-out shows around California, and released three acclaimed albums, Cold Store (2006), Doricana (2010) and Doon Tae the Wid (2012). He took home trophies for Best Acoustic Performer at the 2011 and 2012 San Diego Music Awards, and he might have taken another in 2013 if he hadn’t had to return to Scotland for family reasons. He’s holding on to his San Diego connections, including those with Pacific Beach-based and Grammywinning producer Alan Sanderson (Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac); at Analog Chew Studios, which

has worked on all Clyne's albums to date; and with filmmaker Craig Riann, who is working on a documentary on Clyne, largely shot in San Diego. He also plans a West Coast tour this winter, using La Jolla as a home base. Clyne has noticed a few a differences between California and Scottish audiences. “People actually understand my between-song banter here — well,
for the most part,” he joked. Meanwhile, he said, the biggest surprise has been in the description of his music. “If you recall, people for the best part in the U.S. had me labeled as a Celtic artist,” he said. “Here, I’ve been described as country, which is fine, but I'd say Scottish, rootsy, Americana-ish! I'm like a stray dog. I've slipped my leash, sneaked through the fence, and I'm ready to
explore every corner.” Upon his return to Scotland, Clyne hit the ground running, acquiring a backing band, The Carrons, gigging relentlessly. The hard work has paid off. The Never- Ending Pageant, hit No. 6 on the iTunes country music chart, with the album’s first single, “Merry Go Round,” climbing to 48. He noted that the San Diego Music Awards wins helped with his current success. “Absolutely,” he said, “you just need to look at the list of previous winners in order for people to sit up and take notice.” That list includes the likes of Jewel and Jason Mraz. Clyne credits working with Sanderson as the catalyst for a hit record. “We were all proud of Doricana,” he said, “and it was the absolute best it could have been at that time. But this was a little more intense. We were genuinely moved while in the studio making Pageant. Eight years of working together finally birthed the record Alan and I had always discussed, over many beers, making together.”
BY BART MENDOZA While he did make preproduction demos to test the songs and to keep the passion in the material, the band never heard them. “I don't record demos that often anymore,” he said. “I keep them in my head, and if they are good enough, I'll remember them, hopefully! “However, for this record, we did a whole bunch of preproduction and demos to make sure the songs were absolutely spot-on before we got the band in. Of course, the band then wanted the charts and the demos, but I refused. What you hear on the record was done in the studio, unrehearsed and inspired.” Clyne said he looks forward to returning to San Diego and the “great Mexican food.” He’s happy with where music has taken him, and it all started for him in La Jolla. “Music means as much to me now as always,” he said. “It's saved me time and again. It's the thing I was meant to do. Making records is like a drug to me I'm obsessed with the pursuit of creating something akin to my heroes.” For more info, visit colinclyne.com.

Tired fall garden? Japanese anemone will wake it up
With its shiny green foliage, the Japanese anemone makes an attractive spot of color in either white or pink.
Before I was introduced to Japanese anemones, I always associated anemones with the brightly colored flowers that appear in the garden in springtime. However, the Japanese anemone (Anemone X hybrida) is a late-blooming plant whose flowers gracefully appear in the garden around early fall. The flowers are poppylike in appearance and bloom atop long, elegant stems that can grow anywhere between 2 and 5 feet high. When in full bloom, these lovely flowers will lend a breath of fresh air to tired fall gardens. Sometimes referred to as wind flowers (since the word “anemone” means “wind” in Greek), the Japanese anemone actually originated in China but was discovered in Japan in the late 17th century. These plants are long-lived, tuberous-rooted perennials that come in shades of white and pinks that range from pale to deep and rosy. The most common varieties have single petals, and several hybrids sport double petals. The center stamen and pistils are bright golden yellow, a striking contrast to
the flowers' pastel petals. The long stems of the plant may look delicate but are actually quite strong and do not need to be staked. During the spring and summer months, the plants' shiny green foliage is an attractive addition to the garden. Japanese anemones are easy to grow. They tolerate most soil types and are virtually pest free, but you do need to bait for slugs and snails. While they can be grown in most soils, they prefer soil with good drainage and organic matter. When you are ready to plant them, dig a hole the depth of the pot the plant is growing in. These plants thrive in areas with partial shade and can tolerate more sun along the coast. During hot, dry months, they require frequent watering, but when established and kept well mulched, the water requirement will be less. I feed my plants a balanced organic fertilizer in the spring through the fall. Choose an area in your garden where your Japanese anemones can spread out over time, since they can

These plants may take a year or two to establish, but once they become happily ensconced in your garden they will begin to spread out quickly. In time, one or two plants will become a large, attractive drift of fall flowers. If they begin to take up more space in your garden than you want, dig up some of the plants and divide them in the winter, right after they have finished blooming, and share some with your friends and neighbors. — Linda is a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker.

A San Diego developer has purchased several retail buildings with adjacent land in La Jolla for approximately $6.17 million – and one includes a landmark that traces its history to the Brooklyn Dodgers. USA Properties bought the facilities and acreage from the Dewhurst Family Partnership and Dewhurst Family Trust, represented by Cushman & Wakefield. The properties, which total more than 14,000 square feet, were fully leased at the time of sale. The sale included 9,800 square feet of retail space at 75457549 Girard Ave., a 9,700square-foot mixed-use property at 7527-7535 Girard and a 6,670-
square-foot parking lot on Herschel Avenue. Among tenants in the 7545 building is Harry’s Coffee Shop, a landmark in La Jolla for more than 50 years. Founded in 1960 by former Brooklyn Dodgers batboy Harry Rudolph Jr., the restaurant's ambience was and is inspired by Rudolph's love for the Dodgers – it's said that Rudolph moved to California because he was intent on following his team when it moved form Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1959. Rudolph and his wife Catherine raised nine children in the area, and three Rudolph siblings run the eatery today. Rudolph died in 2009 at 79.

award-winning California Mortgage Consultants/CMC Finance, Inc. real estate finance company in 1994. Nancy is a member of Infragard and is a police commissioner II for the Police Historical Association, with whom she chaired last year's La Jolla Dancing with the Stars event, featuring Mary Murphy of “So You Think You Can Dance” and Jonathan Roberts of “America’s Dancing with the Stars” as emcees. You may remember Nancy led the drive to redo the Police Store Front on Olney Street
in PB. The La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association and Dewhurst Construction were instrumental in the success of that remodel, and La Jolla Rotary Club stepped in to paint and landscape the exterior of the building. The giving hand of La Jolla Rotary, of which Nancy is community service board chairman, will again be seen in 2015, with a project they are planning at the same storefront location in which the police, led by Capt. Jerry Hara, and many community service groups will work together to create a day of
respite and needed services for those who are not chronically homeless but situationally so due to events beyond their control. Nancy welcomes other civic minded people to bring their talents to help with the Rotary project or, if they are interested in joining the FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association, to contact her at her office, (858) 456-3000, or by email at nancy@cmcfinance.com.

Through the La Jolla Solar Program, residents have committed to install over 165,835-watts of solar power. But the program, created and administered by local company Sullivan Solar Power, gave property owners an extra incentive to go solar – cash, regardless if the homeowner used a lease, loan or cash to pay for his solar power system. “While the La Jolla Solar Program recently came to a successful close, it’s not the mark of an end, rather the beginning of a strong transition for La Jolla to be the strongest solar community in the nation,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power. “La Jolla property owners get it – they understand the benefits of clean energy, both economically and environmentally, and appreciate the secure investment.” La Jolla residential and commercial properties have jumped on the solar bandwagon. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Southwest Fisheries Science Center installed a scenic 117,680-watt solar photovoltaic system on the rooftop of its new facility, and UCSD is reportedly the largest solar-producing institution in the region, with more installed solar capacity than any other university.
“UC San Diego is a living laboratory for climate change research and solutions. Our clean energy initiatives are part of our comprehensive approach to creating a more sustainable future,” said Pradeep Kohsla, UCSD chancellor. Sullivan recently completed seven on-campus solar power installations at UCSD totaling 763,858 watts of renewable power. The newest UCSD solar installations will save the campus more than $2 million over the next 20 years. San Diego was recently named the top solar city per capita by Environment America, and La Jolla played a role in that recognition The 92037 zip code is second in the city of San Diego, only behind the industrial neighborhood just north of the border, 92154, according to California Solar Initiativedata. Sullivan Solar Power is a turnkey solar system provider that delivers solar electric projects from concept to completion. The company has installed over 19,400,000-watts of solar power ranging from small-scale residential to large-scale commercial and municipal systems. For more information about the La Jolla Solar Program or going solar, call 1-800-SULLIVAN or visit SullivanSolarPower.com.
