HANGIN’ 20 Ricochet surfdog hits Shores on mission to save lives By DAVE SCHWAB

ANONYMOUS BEQUEST Nobody seems to know who's responsible for these pretty sand castles, erected at La Jolla Shores as part of the area's many nods to summer – but we're glad Terry Kraszewski and her daughter, Heather, ambled by to take the shot. Sculptures like these are commonplace along our coast, and the cool part is that they can crop up at almost any time of the year. COURTESY PHOTO

Two critically ill 19-year-old men, both named Jacob and both needing heart transplants, rode the waves at La Jolla Shores together with acclaimed surfdog Ricochet Oct. 10 to make a statement. “What we’re doing today is to try to raise awareness for the need for organ donors,” said Judy Fridono, Ricochet’s owner, during a live morning TV news shoot. “This is a special story because of all the similarities between these two boys,” Fridono said. Jacob Kilby of San Diego underwent four open-heart surgeries between his birth in 1995 and his second birthday to correct the problem. But the attempts failed, and he was given 24 hours to live. Miraculously, he received a life-saving heart transplant at the last minute. Today, however, he finds himself needing a second heart transplant. Even though there are a lot of similarities with the Jacobs, there is one big difference: Jacob Jumper of Texas did not receive a heart

Now you see ‘em, now you don’t — the franchises that ply their trades for only part of the year hoping to eke out inroads into other locales. They’re the so-called pop-up businesses, whose stated intention is to appeal mostly to seasonal interests (Halloween costumes and gear, Fourth of July flags and clothes, Easter bunnies and chocolate peeps) before closing up shop and moving to another destination in the interest of the target cities’ economic development. It’s actually been going on since 1999, when an L.A. retail chain called Vacant sold a limited number of niche items and opened

and closed several times in the process. That means Los Angeles has brought some popup experience to bear — in fact, one L.A. franchise is setting up shop in La Jolla, driven by the pay-it-forward climate the spirit of the season represents. TOMS is joining the neighborhood with its first pop-up “Give Shop,” which opened on Oct. 14 at 7802 Girard Ave. Shoes, optical frames, sunglasses and coffee are TOMS’ stock in trade, but charity is the motive behind each sale. Partial proceeds go to child welfare, compromised-vision programs and improvements in water-quality systems, in

Children's Pool beaches closed amid sewage leak The beaches around the La Jolla Children’s Pool were closed Oct. 14 after anywhere from 100 to 5,000 gallons of sewage leaked into the ocean. At about 5 a.m., a private sewer pipe became blocked in the 1000 block of Prospect Street, causing sewage to flow southwest down Coast Boulevard and into a storm drain that empties to the Children's Pool, said county officials. The spill was cut off around 8:45 a.m. Authorities have posted closure signs from 1,000 feet south of South Casa Beach to 1,000 feet north of the Children's Pool. The signs will stay in place until sample testing shows the water is no longer impacted. The county's beach water-quality website, sdbeachinfo.com, will provide updates on the situation.

Merchants group board votes are in It took a while, but the preliminary results of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association board voting have been recorded.

Seals come to the Children's Pool to bathe and give birth to their pups. The introduction of these seals to the Children's Pool in La Jolla has caused recent controversy over whether the beach should be preserved for the marine life or for area children. People are barred from the area beginning Dec. 15, the start of seal pupping season.

LJCPA bylaws meeting set A trustees meeting as provided for in the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) bylaws has been called for Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 6 p.m. at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. “The purpose of these special meetings is to resolve an ongoing dispute with the city of San Diego pursuant to... the LJCPA bylaws,” said LJCPA president Joe LaCava. “The city has determined a violation by the LJCPA as a whole in regards to the March election has been proven and there is a need for the LJCPA to take corrective action." LaCava said the resolution as described in the two agendas is a compromise solution offered by the Office of the Mayor in light of the arguments presented by the LJCPA. “Implementing the solution and thus resolving the dispute requires action in two parts, first by the members, then by the trustees,” LaCava said.

Suspect pleads guilty in multiple bank robberies and attempts A man suspected of holding up banks in La Jolla and Torrey Highlands has pleaded guilty to all charges, which include five other bank robberies and two attempted robberies. Victor Lamar Moore, 33, will be sentenced Nov. 24 and faces up to nine years in state prison, court records say. He pleaded guilty Oct. 1 before San Diego Superior Court Judge Timothy Walsh. Moore admitted to the Jan. 4 robbery of a U.S. Bank that was inside an Albertsons grocery store at 7895 Highland Village Place. He presented a demand note for $10,000 to the teller. The teller asked him if he was joking, saying she did not have anything near $10,000. Moore said he wasn’t joking and asked for what the teller had. He added, “There’s nothing personal” about the hold-up before leaving with $800. A San Diego police officer spotted a vehicle that fit the description of the getaway car and pulled it over on Interstate 5. Inside the car with Moore was money obtained from the bank. Moore’s arrest marked the end of the robbery series. Moore also pleaded guilty to holding up a Wells Fargo bank, the first bank he robbed, on La Jolla Village Drive on Aug. 24, 2012. The other banks and a credit union were located in Carmel Mountain, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, Solana Beach and San Diego. The series included hold-ups in 2012 an 2013. Moore also pleaded guilty to attempted robbery of two banks in El Cajon and San Ysidro. Moore was initially charged with only the Torrey Highlands bank robbery, but other charges were added after the investigation continued. He was ordered to stand trial June 4 on the other counts. He remains in jail without bail. — Neal Putnam

News Trial begins in La Jolla robbery case, Pacific Beach burglary Opening statements and testimony began Tuesday, Oct. 14 in the trial of a man whose ex-girlfriend wrote an incriminating letter to the sheriff ’s department that detailed the man’s crimes, such as accosting a La Jolla real-estate agent and a Pacific Beach burglary. The jury and alternates in the trial of David Allen Grub were sworn in Oct. 10 by San Diego Superior Court Judge Melinda Lasater. The courts were closed Monday in observance of Columbus Day. Grub is charged in four burglaries and three robberies. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in the central jail on $450,000 bail. A mysterious letter was found at the sheriff’s station in Alpine that named Grub, 45, as responsible for various crimes, but initially the writer's identity was unknown. Grub lived

in Alpine at the time, and a search of his residence and car turned up stolen property in several cases. A sheriff ’s detective is expected to testify that the writer was Grub’s ex-girlfriend who told her “she still loved him.” The detective testified in 2013 that the woman wrote the letter because “she felt what he was doing was wrong.” Grub is accused of showing up with a rifle and confronting a real-estate agent in La Jolla on Aug. 1, 2012 after the agent had just finished showing the house to a prospective buyer. Witnesses said a man demanded jewelry and money, grabbed fur coats and jewelry and took the agent’s cell phone. The robber fired shots at the homeowner, dropped the fur coats and fled in a black car.

Grub is accused of being one of two armed robbers on Dec. 20, 2012 in Rancho Santa Fe. The robbers handcuffed the maid to the front door and demanded jewelry, diamonds and cash. The home was ransacked, with a loss of $250,000 in jewelry, gold and other items, according to court records. The first burglary occurred on May 24, 2012 on Loring Street in Pacific Beach, when the resident returned home and saw a man carrying a drawer from his dresser. The suspect fled in a black car, and the victim discovered a large amount of jewelry was stolen. A detective testified that a jewelry box belonging to the Pacific Beach victim was found in Grub’s car.

Couple robbed, kidnapped near east campus of UCSD

Miller case suspended amid competency doubts

A 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman were robbed at gunpoint and briefly kidnapped early Oct. 5 near the east campus of UCSD. Police said the couple were walking south on Genesee Avenue and Regents Road about 2:15 a.m. when a silver Subaru stopped beside them. A man in the rear seat got out of the vehicle and pointed the gun at the couple. The victims handed over their backpacks and got in their car as ordered. After driving them to Campus Point Drive, the driver beat the man and then told both victims to get out of the vehicle. While the couple hid in bushes, the suspects fired shots in the air and drove away. Both suspects' faces were covered, according to police. The victims described both suspects as Hispanic and in their 20s. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

Criminal proceedings were suspended Oct. 7 for Odie James Miller Jr., who is suspected of stabbing a biotech executive near the Westfield UTC after his attorney told a judge she doubted he was mentally competent. Deputy District Attorney Geoff Allard said Oct. 10 that the San Diego Superior Court judge was obligated to order mental health testing for Miller, 21, since his attorney didn’t think he could understand court proceedings or help in his own defense. Miller remains in jail, and another judge will read psychiatric reports about him prior to a Dec. 3 hearing. If the judge finds Miller is not mentally competent to stand trial, Miller would

be committed to a state mental hospital and would likely be given medication. He would return for trial if doctors believe he regains competency. Miller is accused of repeatedly stabbing the 44-year-old executive, referred to in court records as Brian M., on Aug 6 in the vicinity of Renaissance Avenue and Towne Centre Drive. The attack occurred at random and without motive. Miller’s father, Odie Miller Sr., has told several television news stations he tried to warn police and the courts about his son having stopped taking his medication. Miller Jr. is on probation for attacking his father with a knife in an earlier case.

News Faulconer's infrastructure tour centers on Dist. 1 improvement projects By DAVE SCHWAB Mayor Kevin Faulconer on Oct. 6 fielded questions from City Council District 1 residents talking infrastructure, potholes, utilities undergrounding and the Regents Road bridge at a public meeting at UTC Forum Hall. “Infrastructure improvements are important to people in all corners of San Diego,” Faulconer said. “I want to take the conversation to community leaders and everyday San Diegans where they live so I can make sure that everyone has the opportunity to be heard.” District 1 includes the communities of La Jolla, University City, Carmel Valley, Del Mar Mesa, Del Mar Heights, Pacific Highlands Ranch, Torrey Hills and Torrey Pines. Faulconer intends to take his infrastructure tour to all of the city’s nine council districts. In UTC on Oct. 6, fully half the questions and comments were centered on the controversial Regents Road Bridge project. Faulconer and District 1 City Council President Pro Tem Sherri Lightner recently jointly supported a proposal to study the removal of the project from the general University Community Plan. The process to amend the plan will include a new analysis of traffic and emergency response times. Whether or not to build the Regents Road Bridge through the canyon that separates north and south University City has prompted considerable controversy and environmental concerns over the last two decades. The bridge proposal has been the subject of litigation, numerous City Council hearings and public debates. (See an in-depth story on the issue on this page.) “I’m here to talk about what the city’s been doing — and hasn’t been doing — about streets, sidewalks, libraries, rec centers and the inner workings of how you run the city’s sewer, water and stormwater systems,” Faulconer said. “The goal is to talk about some of the priorities for the different (city) areas, the things you are concerned about and what are some of the changes you’d like to see.” Faulconer promised that the city has abandoned its policy of piecemeal replacement of pipes and other infrastructure underground, wherein crews come back again and again to replace failing underground pipes, cables and other accouterments. The remark drew applause from the crowd. Faulconer referred to a new policy in place as “one dig.” “My promise,” he said, “is that 50 percent of all new revenues will go for infrastructure,” he said, adding the city intends to do a “condition assessment,” evaluating the condition of every city street and sidewalk.

Regents Road flap is recast amid council study vote Debby Knight, head of Friends of Rose Canyon since the group's inception, doesn't drink or smoke cigars the way Civil War Gen. Ulysses Grant did. But she's leading the troops opposed to the bridge in Rose Canyon Open Space Park, a rugged University City venue between Regents Road and Genesee Avenue offering trails, wildlife views and bird watching. “I moved here in 1998,” she said. “I didn't know what a canyon was. I just wanted a place to run off the urban roads. Then I discovered the peace of the canyon, a wonderful natural place to get away. As a magazine writer on environmental places, the last thing I wanted to do was get tied down with community activism. I grew up in Bethany, Conn. and loved to play in the woods as a kid.” But one thing led to another, and the bridge issue — initially fueled in 1960, when the City of San Diego proposed a a bridge to link Regents Road southern and northern dead-ends — took form in 2002, when Friends of Rose Canyon was founded in Knight's living room. Since then, Knight has educated herself about canyons and watersheds in San Diego. She is paid a modest salary for her efforts and has brought many people to Rose Canyon, especially children. The latter come to the canyon to explore, pick up bugs and get a hands-on lesson in nature. Kids from Spreckels, Curie and Doyle elementary schools, University City High School and several others are regular visitors. “When I grew up in Connecticut,” she said, “it was a time when you could go outdoors and feel safe. I wanted that for San Diego children.” Volleys have been shot across the pro-bridge and anti-bridge trenches, and the war of words has been pretty straightforward. Proponents of the bridge formed U.C. Connection, a group of residents promised relief from traffic on Genesee and a second surface street evacuation route in the event of a catastrophe like the 2003 Cedar fire, although UC has 805 and 52 available. In the opinion of Marcia Munn, president of UC Connection, development in North University City continues at an alarming rate, and the proposed trolley stop will not benefit South University City. “It will be a magnet to attract traffic on Genesee,” she said. In 2006, the City voted to certify an environmental impact report on the project and build the bridge. The report took three years to complete at a cost of almost $3 million. Friends of Rose Canyon sued over the adequacy

of the report, along with San Diego Coastkeeper, San Diego Audubon Society and Endangered Habitats League. In the settlement, the city agreed to withdraw certain essential elements of the report and agreed not to proceed without doing a new study. In 2007, with no report, the city voted to approve a contract for final design of the project, a violation of state environmental law. Friends of Rose Canyon sued again. The City put the contract on hold and eventually withdrew it in order to settle the lawsuit. When District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner was elected in 2008, she ran on a platform that opposed the bridge. In her opinion, the bridge would be an on-ramp for Route 52 and ruin the community — as well as the canyon — without providing traffic relief. She said she felt a fire station in South University City was the real answer for the community. Munn thinks Lightner has turned a deaf ear to anyone who wants the bridge. “In 2006,” Munn said, “the issue went to the City Council, resulting in a 6-2 vote in favor of the bridge. Three fire chiefs, starting with Jeff Bowman, have favored the bridge as the best safety measure for this community. A fire station would be a welcome safety trigger, but it would solve neither the evacuation problem nor the problem of reaching a medical facility when Genesee is blocked.” A few weeks ago, Mayor Kevin Faulconer held a press conference at the dead-end of Regents Road overlooking Rose Canyon Open Space Park. He talked about Regents Road improvements, with Lightner slated to announce Faulconer’s intention to take the bridge out of the community plan, along with the widening of Genesee. Faulconer has said he feels a South University City fire station is

the answer. Meanwhile, Knight thinks the bridge's time has passed. “It is estimated to cost $35 million to build,” she said, “and the City would need to do (a new environmental impact report), and it is likely the bridge would not be able to meet today's strict environmental standards. The fire station would cost a lot less to build, and there would be money left for parks and libraries. We are in a completely different situation today than 50 years ago.” “Genesee is not congested except for peak hours in the morning going north and in the evening going south,” according to Knight. “The facts are seen in the 24-hour traffic count, which is flat. The count is the same as in 1987.” Knight is also working to get rid of the widening of Genesee in the community plan. Munn feels the negotiations to remove the bridge were carried out without input from U.C. Connection under a cloak of secrecy. “U.C. Connection was never told about the mayor's Sept. 25th press conference at the rim of Rose Canyon,” she said. “We represent hundreds of stakeholders.” At a Sept. 29 City Council meeting, at which around 100 people showed up to voice their support for and against the bridge, the City Council unanimously approved an amendment to the University City community plant to study taking the Rose Canyon bridge and the widening of Genesee Avenue out of the community plan. Hopefully, this latest controversy will end in 2014, but has defined the University City community for a long time. Still, Knight and Munn have been dedicated leaders of their troops, and the war of words may be winding down. — Sandy Lippe regularly contributes her View from the 52 column to the San Diego Community Newspaper group.

Halloween

La Jolla's signature trick-or-treat fest might merge with another event.COURTESY PHOTO

No trick to it: ‘Pillage the Village’ event is bigger by the year By DAVE SCHWAB

HERE'S A GHASTLY THOUGHT Some beasts, as you might imagine, are kindly sorts who only come out during the day and treat you accordingly. Most others, though, are mad at the world and would spook ya as soon as look at ya. You can find out which are which throughout history – and, if necessary, how to defeat them – at Monsters!, a Halloween-based exhibit opening Friday, Oct. 24 at the San Diego Museum of Man in Balboa Park. Yetis, manticores, leshies, even an old-fashion dragon or two, like the one above – you and the kids can learn about them through sight and touch and interactivity as you explore monster caves and take in monster legends. The museum, located at 1350 El Prado, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. Admission ranges from $6 to $12.50 (children under 3 get in free). For more, see museumofman.org.

Halloween police presence to stiffen in Bird Rock Once again this year, there will be a beefed-up police presence in Bird Rock to discourage bad behavior during Halloween on Friday, Oct. 31. “Halloween is a Friday night, and we’re anticipating it will be very busy,” said Michelle of Neighborhood Watch in Bird Rock. Residents are encouraged to give out candy only between 5 and 8 p.m. The Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) has contracted for six offduty officers to walk the street. In addition, Michelle said, “The San Diego Police Department (SDPD ... will support us again with more resources than they did last year, which will include the Retired Senior

Volunteer Patrol (RSVP).” Michelle noted that the community has been plagued in the past by vandalism, teen drinking and fighting. “The San Diego police should be thanked for their continuing support,” Michelle said. The BRCC has issued these tips: know where your children are at all times; use a flashlight and light-colored/reflective clothing; walk in a group and report suspicious or illegal activity to police; and inspect all candy before consuming it. The BRCC also notes it’s important for parents and their children to have an arranged meeting point

should they get separated, which happens most every year amid the fun and excitement of the event. The SDPD has sent out a reminder that it will be enforcing laws, including the Social Host Ordinance, which holds adults responsible for hosting gatherings of three or more people where even one minor consumes alcohol. Alcohol is also not permitted on public streets. Citations for vandalism, including defacing property and damaging decorations and pumpkins, will also be strictly enforced by police. For more information, visit birdrockcc.org.

Expanded fall festival will have a surprise or two The seventh annual family friendly fall festival and Halloween contest, hosted by the nonprofit La Jolla Shores Merchants Association microdistrict, will be held Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 4 to 7 p.m. along the Avenida De La Playa commercial strip. “Hours have been expanded this year, and we’ll have face painting, a jumpee house for kids and a band on the Laureate Park lawn,” said Terry Kraszewski of Ocean Girl Boutique. The event will also feature live entertainment from the Hullabaloo Band and food by local restaurants like Osteria Romantica, Voulez Vous Bistro, El Charro, Piatti's and Yogurt

Escape. Kids can enjoy clowns, face painting and balloon art as well at train rides. Tickets are $7 presale and $10 the day of the event, with children age 3 and under admitted free. Presale tickets can be purchased at Shores businesses with event posters in their windows. “People will get passports from participating businesses that they can have stamped to get food and treats,” Kraszewski said, adding there will also be raffle prizes provided by Shores businesses. “Kids and adults are urged to wear Halloween costumes,” said Kraszewski.

Youngsters will once again “Pillage the Village” at this year’s installment in La Jolla’s downtown from 3 to 6 p.m. on Halloween, Friday, Oct. 31. Co-sponsored by La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association (REBA) and the La Jolla chapter of Kiwanis, Pillage the Village has quickly become a seasonal community tradition in the Jewel. “We’re getting more reach into the community and making it clear to everybody what we can do,” LJVMA’s Economic Development Division spokesperson Leon Chow said about the event’s growing significance. “This is a freebie, It’s such a natural.” Chow noted that local school kids will be going right from costume parades at their schools to trick-or-treating in the Village. LJVMA board member Claudette Berwin said there’s been talk of combining Pillage the Village with another event to make it even bigger in the future. “We were approached by the

La Jolla Rec Center to do an event on Saturday next year,” Berwin said. “Maybe we can do these two things together.” Berwin said REBA is on board again this year to do a kids costume contest. She added that Geppetto’s toy store, at 7850 Girard Ave., was “over-the-top generous” with gift cards it’s providing for the costume contest. “It’s become a great event,” Berwin said. Chow said event posters in two different sizes are being produced and will appear in participating merchants windows soon promoting Pillage the Village. “Merchants will get black and orange balloons so you know who’s participating,” Berwin said. Bookstore owner Nancy Warwick at LJVMA’s October meeting suggested that the event could be bolstered by people dressing up their dogs in costumes and having them take part in the fun.

Sports Vikings' Alex Krzyz: You can't keep a good man down Volleyball defensive specialist Alex Krzyz, a man of many consonants, wants to fly. Yet in his favorite sport, he stays grounded, guarding the rear row and backing up the highleaping hitter-blockers that populate the front. Krzyz — whose surname is pronounced “Chriz” (“like ‘Chris’ with a ‘z’,” the La Jolla High School senior says) — wants to be a commercial airline pilot. But right now, he’s doing quite well, thank you, with his feet firmly planted in the sand of Mission Beach as the Vikings sand volleyball team continues competitive play undefeated after the first month — this despite a health problem that threatened to sideline Krzyz for half a calendar year. Krzyz and new teammate Luke Lentin, a freshman who likewise is shorter by volleyball standards, play mostly as the Vikings’ third pair in coach Dave Jones’ varsity lineup. “Indoors, Alex is one of our best jump servers and passers,” says Jones, who coaches Krzyz in fall sand volleyball (not yet a California Interscholastic Federation sport) and in spring indoor volleyball. Meanwhile, Krzyz explained, the airplane and the idea of flying captured his imagination while on a family vacation to Cancun, Mexico (the first time he'd ever flown). Since then, piloting has grown to become his career goal. “I've wanted to be a pilot since I

was 4,” the 17-year-old said. But on the volleyball rectangle, things are quite different. In the six-man rotation of La Jolla’s indoor squad, he stays on the back line and is more likely to dive to the floor to intercept an opponent’s bullet serve than to jump for the ball. The one skill that involves him leaping is his jump serve, with which he registered 25 aces last spring, with an 81.8 percent success rate. He played a key role in La Jolla’s ascendancy to the CIF semifinals. But there was a time last spring when all this was taken away, when Alex couldn’t play the one sport he excels at. He was diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart, and doctors told him he would have to sit out for six months. He remained with the team and traveled to tournaments, but he couldn’t step on the court and do what he has enjoyed ever since his older brother Sebi told him he ought to go out for indoor volleyball as a freshman three years ago. He played tennis for eight years as a child, but eventually it lost enjoyment for him. He tried high school football concurrently with his initial taste of volleyball, but after two years playing cornerback and safety, he stopped. “I wasn't planning on playing (volleyball),” he remembers of his start in the sport. “I had never played before.” But instead of a half-year, Alex

had to sit out only a month and a half during the Vikings’ indoor season. After treatment and rest, he was OK'd by doctors for a return to the court. “It wasn’t fun sitting out,” he recalls. “I was excited to be able to practice again and to be able to play again.” The Vikings, having graduated much of their core from the 2013 CIF championship team, weren’t expected to go far in 2014. But behind juniors Joe Palatella, a middle hitter-blocker, and Jack Chapman, an outside hitter, and the likes of Krzyz and others who stepped up, Jones’ squad marched to the semifinals before falling. In his comeback, Krzyz averaged 4.6 digs per match from his position as a defensive specialist. He totaled playing in 61 sets, remarkable after the doctors originally said he would be out for the season. He’s philosophical about his forced time on the sidelines. “I knew there was nothing I could have done about it,” he remarked, seemingly offhandedly. Meanwhile, the Vikings sailed through their first three matches this fall. Krzyz enjoys studying science and U.S. history. He would like to stay in California for college as he begins his preparation to be an airline pilot. He says he wouldn’t mind staying really close by attending San Diego State University.

PROCLAMATION OF AN ERADICATION PROJECT REGARDING THE ORIENTAL FRUIT FLY On October 1, 2013, two male oriental fruit flies (OFFs), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) group, were trapped in the community of La Jolla, San Diego County. Based on the survey data, pest biology, information from the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Bactrocera Science Advisory Panel (BacSAP), recommendations provided to me by the CDFA Primary State Entomologist, and the CDFA “Action Plan for Methyl Eugenol Attracted Fruit Flies including Oriental Fruit Fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel),” I have determined that an infestation of OFF exists in the area. The OFF is an exotic insect originating in Asia, and has been accidentally introduced into a number of Pacific Islands, including Hawaii. It is a member of a closely related group of species, known as the OFF group, which are difficult to distinguish based on individual specimens. Several of the group species are major fruit and vegetable pests, and collectively members of the OFF group are known to attack over 230 types of fruits and vegetables. Important California crops at risk include pome and stone fruits, citrus, dates, avocados, and many vegetables, particularly tomatoes and peppers. Damage occurs when the female lays eggs in the fruit. These eggs hatch into larvae, which tunnel through the flesh of the fruit, making it unfit for consumption. Under my statutory authority, as Secretary of the CDFA, I have decided, based upon the likely environmental and economic damage that would be inflicted by this infestation of OFF, that it is incumbent upon me to address this threat. This pest presents a major threat to a wide variety of California produce, with the combined 2011 gross value of these commodities being over $12.5 billion. The permanent establishment and spread of this pest would result in increased production and postharvest costs to safeguard commercial fruit from infestation, increased pesticide applications on both production agriculture and residential properties to mitigate damage, and lost economic activity and jobs from trade restrictions imposed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and some foreign trade partners. My duty to act, and this decision, is based upon authority set forth in Sections 24.5, 401.5, 403, 407, 408, 5401-5405, and 5761-5764 of the Food and Agricultural Code (FAC) authorizing and mandating me: to thoroughly investigate the existence of the pest; to determine the probability that the pest will spread; to adopt regulations (Title 3 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 3591.2) as are reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this code; to abate the pest from the established eradication area; and, to prevent further economic damage. The enclosed project work plan describes the actions to be taken by the CDFA which are necessary to mitigate the establishment and spread of this pest. This decision to proceed with an eradication program is based upon a realistic evaluation that it may be possible to eradicate OFF using currently available technology in a manner that is based on the enclosed work plan developed in consultation with the Pest Prevention Committee of the California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association, the USDA, and scientists on the BacSAP. Due to the size of the infested area and the number of OFF detected, historical data indicates that eradication is possible. The first California OFF detections occurred in Orange and Santa Barbara counties in 1960, and since that time, numerous re-introductions have been delimited and successfully eradicated. In making this decision, the CDFA has evaluated possible eradication methods. In accordance with integrated pest management principles, the following is a list of the options that I have considered for the eradication of this OFF infestation: 1) physical controls; 2) cultural controls; 3) biological controls; and 4) chemical controls. Based upon input from my professional staff and outside experts familiar with OFF, I have concluded that there are no cultural or biological controls that are effective to eradicate OFF that allow the CDFA to meet its statutory obligations. To eradicate OFF, I am ordering that male attractant treatments, consisting of methyl eugenol, a pesticide (naled), and a thickener be applied to utility poles and street trees to eliminate this infestation. Additionally, in the event of evidence of a breeding population on a property, foliar bait spray treatments will be applied to host trees using ground based equipment and host fruit removal will occur. Descriptions of these options are contained in the enclosed work plan. The CDFA has prepared and certified a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) entitled “The Exotic Fruit Fly Eradication Program Utilizing Male Annihilation and Allied Methods,” which is implemented as per the operations described above. This FEIR identifies and analyzes alternative actions applicable to exotic fruit fly pest eradication projects. The enclosed work plan incorporates the appropriate integrated pest management techniques as described in the FEIR. The CDFA has not detected any local condition which would justify or necessitate preparation of a site specific plan. Sensitive Areas The treatment area has been reviewed through consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s California Natural Diversity Database for threatened or endangered species. The CDFA also consults with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Services when rare and endangered species are located within the treatment area. Mitigation measures will be implemented as needed. The CDFA will not apply pesticides to bodies of water or undeveloped areas of native vegetation. All treatment will be applied to residential properties, common areas within residential development, non-agricultural commercial properties, and right-of-ways. Eradication Plan The eradication area includes those portions of San Diego County which fall within an approximate nine-square mile area around each property on which an OFF has been trapped or on which another life stage of the insect is detected. A map of the detection sites with eradication boundaries and the proposed eradication work plan are attached. In summary form, the work plan contains the following elements:

1. Delimitation. Two types of traps will be placed throughout the project area to delimit the infestation and to monitor post-treatment OFF populations. The cardboard Jackson sticky trap is baited with the attractant methyl eugenol mixed with the pesticide naled (Dibrom® 8 Emulsive), and the McPhail trap is an invaginated glass flask baited with Torula yeast and borax in water. The Jackson trap is strongly attractive to sexually maturing males, while the McPhail trap is attractive to both sexes of the fly. Jackson traps and McPhail traps will each be placed at a density of 25 per square mile in the core areas, and Jackson traps will be placed at a density of five per square mile in the remaining delimitation area. Additional traps may be added to further delimit the infestation and to monitor the efficacy of treatments. These traps will be serviced on a regular schedule for a period equal to three OFF generations beyond the date of the last OFF detected. In addition, host fruit may be sampled for the presence of eggs and larvae in a 200-meter radius around each detection property. 2. Treatment. Any OFF detections within the original and/or expanded eradication area(s) will be treated according to the following protocol: The male attractant technique (MAT) will be used to eradicate the adult OFF. The MAT makes use of small amounts of the attractant methyl eugenol mixed with the pesticide naled (Dibrom® Concentrate), and incorporated into a clay matrix (Min-U-Gel® 400) to lure the male flies to bait stations. A second MAT product is undergoing logistical testing as a replacement for the current mixture. This product is STATIC™ Spinosad ME, a pre-mixed solution of methyl eugenol, spinosad, and SPLAT®, and may be used in place of the naled product in some instances. The flies are killed when they feed at the stations. In each square mile within the eradication boundary, a targeted density of 600 evenly spaced five-milliliter bait stations are applied to utility poles, street trees, and other unpainted surfaces using pressurized tree marking guns mounted on specially modified trucks. The bait stations are placed six to eight feet above the ground. The size of the eradication area is defined as that area within 1.5 miles of each detection site, and is squared off to create a nine-square mile block, and adjusted to use existing features as boundaries, such as roads. Applications are repeated every two weeks for one life cycle if no quarantine is triggered (typically two to three months), and for two life cycles if a quarantine is triggered (typically four to six months). Life cycle durations are dependent on temperature.

If evidence that a breeding population exists on a property (i.e., immature stages, mated female, or multiple adults are detected), foliar bait treatments will be used within 200 meters of each detection site in order to mitigate the spread of OFF by eliminating those adult life stages not directly affected by MAT (i.e., females and sexually immature males). The foliage of host trees and shrubs within 200 meters of each detection site will be treated with an organic formulation of spinosad bait spray (GF-120 NF Naturalyte® Fruit Fly Bait) using hand spray or hydraulic spray equipment. Treatments are repeated every seven to 14 days for one life cycle of the fly (typically two to three months, dependent on temperature). If evidence that a breeding population exists on a property (i.e., immature stages, mated female, or multiple adults are detected), all host fruit from each detection site and all properties within a minimum of 100 meters of each detection site may be removed and disposed of in a landfill in accordance with regulatory protocols. Fruit removal will occur once at the beginning of the project, but may be repeated if additional flies are detected. Public Notification Any resident whose property will be treated via foliar bait sprays or host fruit removal will be notified in writing at least 48 hours in advance of any treatment, in accordance with FAC Sections 5779 and 5401-5404. Following the treatment, completion notices are left with homeowners detailing precautions to take and post-harvest intervals applicable to any fruit on the property. For MAT applications in public areas, notification is given to the general public via mass media outlets such as newspapers or press releases, and information is posted on the CDFA website at www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/pdep/treatment/oriental_ff.html. Information concerning the OFF project will be conveyed directly to concerned local and State political representatives and authorities via letters, emails, and/or faxes. Press releases, if issued, are prepared by the CDFA information officer and the county agricultural commissioner, in close coordination with the project leader responsible for treatment. Either the county agricultural commissioner or the public information officer serves as the primary contact to the media. Please contact the CDFA toll-free telephone number at 800-491-1899 and staff will be able to assist with any questions related to this project. This telephone number is also listed on all treatment notices.

News Town council tackles Children's Pool flap A debate over opening the sluice gates to clean Children’s Pool and a presentation on creating a leash-free dog beach were the highlights of La Jolla Town Council’s (LJTCs) October meeting. Community activist Phyllis Minick also updated trustees on fundraising for the Coast Boulevard/Children’s Pool project. The project seeks to restore and improve the walkway overlooking Children's Pool at Coast Boulevard. To be added are sidewalk and viewing space, new seating with double-sided benches and new teardrop landscaping that will help direct foot traffic, which is prone to congestion. “We have requested and preliminarily been approved for $360,000 in La Jolla Development Impact Fees for the project,” Minick said in a handout. “These funds will be reviewed over the next several months, and if all goes well, will go before the City Council for approval early next year.” Longtime La Jollan Melinda Mer-

ryweather, who’s advocated opening Children’s Pool’s sluice gates for years, made her case with a slideshow presentation and explained the history of the gates. “The sluiceways were put in as a way to prevent buildup of sand,” Merryweather said, “but it was feared that they were losing too much sand, so they were closed and have never been open since.” She added that, without proper drainage, the pool has subsequently been polluted by accumulated seal waste. “It’s filthy,” she said. “There’s 20 years of seal poop. It’s a cesspool.” Merryweather noted that the Coastal Commission, in approving closure of Children’s Pool to humans during the marine mammals’ Dec. 15 to May 15 pupping season, directed the city to study ways to clean the historic pool, created as a children’s wading area. “The city should either open the sluice ways or take a bulldozer and move the sand and throw it over the

wall or push it down the beach,” Merryweather said. Seal advocates saw the issue differently. Adrian Kwiatkowski, speaking for Friends of the Seals, noted that “seals have been coming here for a long time, and it’s important not to forget that.” He described opening the sluiceways as “a premature conversation. We don’t even know when the city is going to do it (pool cleaning study).” He added that the Coastal Commission directed that that study be completed “in five years, not five months.” Susan Wilson and Cynthia Chasan discussed a proposal favored by local dog owners that calls for “permitting dogs to be off-leash before 9 a.m. only on a defined part of one La Jolla beach yet to be determined for a trial period.” LJTC meets the second Thursdays of the month at 5 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. It will next meet Nov. 13.

Cove stench among merchants meeting issues La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) elected new board members as well as giving updates on the stench at the Cove and the status of banner and holiday light promotion programs designed to improve and beautify the downtown Village at its Oct. 8 meeting. LJVMA president C.A. Marengo issued a call to action to the city about the lingering problem of bad smells coming from bird and marine mammal waste buildup at the Cove. “The smell has gotten bad again,” Marengo said, adding, “We have witnessed a reduction in tourism this summer.” Marengo added negative publicity from the Cove smell “has impacted us greatly.” He noted that’s something “we need to try and get ahead of.” Marengo added there continues to be jurisdictional problems with the federal government associated with attempting to eradicate foulsmelling Cove waste buildup. “Instead of pointing our finger at the federal government, it’s more important that the mayor and his staff take an active leadership role and put this problem on the front burner,” said LJVMA board member and attorney Mark Krasner. “This problem has existed far too long and damages the reputation of La Jolla.” LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said the Business Improvement District (BID) is working on a Holiday Festival of Lights competition. “It’s in our budget to light up the Village, all the storefronts and all the office buildings in whatever theme is festive for the holidays,” Fortune said, adding businesses in the competition will be judged according to categories like best retail or best nonprofit. “We’re just going to try and light up the Village from Dec. 15 to Jan. 1,” Fortune said, adding competi-

tion winners will be provided with “a little trophy or memento.” “It’s a great idea, giving La Jolla an opportunity to really make a statement doing lighting and decorating for the holidays,” said Krasner. “The more merchants do, the more business will be attracted into the Village.” LJVMA board member Nancy Warwick said a promotional banner program has “gotten off to a great start.” The goal of the Sparkle and Shine program, Warwick said, is to “raise enough to clean our sidewalks for a whole year.” Those contributing to the

fundraising campaign will have their names placed on three promotional banners placed around town. The campaign allows merchants and residents to purchase strategically placed, 8-foot-tall banners with their names on it for $400 a month. Tax-deductible clean-up campaign contributions will be deposited in an account with the nonprofit La Jolla Town Foundation. Those funds will only be used for cleaning La Jolla Village.

Playhouse extends show whose title should ring a bell On the boards I love it when things have such great advance sales that they extend even before opening. Such is the case with La Jolla Playhouse’s U.S. premiere of Alan Menken, Stephen Schwartz and Peter Parnell’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Directed by Scott Schwartz, the show opens in preview performances Sunday, Oct. 26, and plays its now-extended engagement through Sunday, Dec. 14, in the Mandell Weiss Theatre. The work is based on Victor Hugo’s novel and features music from Menken’s Oscar-nominated Disney film score. Single tickets for the added week (Dec. 9–14) go on sale to Playhouse subscribers Oct. 19 and to the general public Oct. 26.

den, Germany to Rancho Bernardo on Sept. 27, Michael Francis, Mainly Mozart’s Festival Orchestra new principal conductor and music director, celebrated his appointment by answering a few questions beamed across the big pond. In making the announcement of Francis’ appointment, Mainly Mozart concertmaster William Preucil said that selecting a maestro to replace co-founder and music director David Atherton, who retired from the organization in 2012, was a wonderful thing for those on the selection committee. The challenge of finding just the right person brought all those involved closer together. Once Francis was selected, he and Preucil had a long meeting in London. Preucil is convinced that Francis is “the man who’s going to take us where we want and need to go.” Francis said that during his conducting stint here last year, he was impressed with the sheer level of pasMeanwhile The world premiere of Steve Martin sion and innovation he witnessed and Edie Brickell’s “Bright Star” — a More from Mainly Mozart from “the world’s finest players” and In live-streamed video from Dres- the incredible musical minds brought new American musical — continues at the Old Globe through Sunday, Nov. 2. By the time you read this, the major reviews will have come in. No matter what they may say, I was blown away by the tight ensemble molded by the show’s director, Walter Bobbie, who is much admired by artistic director emeritus Jack O’Brien. Carmen Cusack, who plays an eraspanning protagonist, publisher Alice Murphy, has the vocal pipes and just the right amount of twang to bring off the bluegrass sound.

Local homeless and citizens academy projects keep Gardner and other volunteers busy

THE ART OF THE CHALLENGE For the past two years, the Martin Lawrence Galleries' La Jolla venue has had a booth at the Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge, held every fall at La Jolla Cove to benefit challenged athletes around the world in making it to the starting line (last year's event took in nearly $1.3 million). The 20th annual event, set at the Cove for Sunday, Oct. 19, is no different; the art venue, at 1111 Prospect St., will donate portions of its sales from the event to the Challenged Athletes Foundation. On Saturday, Nov. 8, the gallery will hold an art show and raffle, with portions of art sales and all the raffle funds going to the foundation. Perennial guest and former NBA star Bill Walton will be on hand to draw the winning raffle ticket. Pictured at last year's event are, from left, gallery director Brenda Kippel, Walton, galley spokesperson Richard Sertucha (fourth from left), Rudy Garcia-Tolson and two other foundation representatives.

Nancy Gardner, of La Jolla, has been busy working with La Jolla Rotary on its 2015 community service project benefiting the situationally homeless in La Jolla and Pacific Beach, along with Northern Division police Capt. Jerry Hara, Lt. Misty Cedrun of the San Diego Family Justice Center, La Jolla Rotarians and several community leaders and volunteers. Nancy and others recently led a group of San Diego FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association graduates to a week of briefings and tours in Washington, D.C. The 18 attendees had the opportunity to visit the Supreme Court in session, Arlington National Cemetery, The Rayburn Building Congressional offices of Darrell Issa and Scott Peters, a Capitol tour, special briefings and several other tours, including those at FBI headquarters, Quantico training center and the Pentagon. They experienced a lovely dinner reception at the home of Vice Adm. William and Monika French, along with other admirals who had commanded Naval Installations San Diego. The group also toured the White

House and availed themselves of Old Ebbitts Grill, The Willard, The Ritz Carlton and The Good Stuff Eatery in Crystal City… not to be missed on any future trips. The FBI Citizens Academy supports the FBI outreach efforts into communities in San Diego that can benefit from the education and integration projects afforded them. Throughout the year, many projects for students are sponsored, along with training and informational sessions for

alumni association members incremental to the classes taken by the Citizens Academy grads in their initial training. Nancy, pictured here outside FBI headquarters with Vice Adm.

Dining San Diego's a little less French with Maitre D' closing By MARTIN JONES WESTLIN Maitre D', the French restaurant ensconced in Bird Rock since its 1982 opening, was designed with the “old-style elegance” and cool “dress-up” ideal in mind. The reviews trumpeted touches like chandeliers, swanshaped sorbet, decorative lilies and tableside cooking, and the lofty prices were arguable proof that patrons got what they paid for. Louis Zalesjak, who at 79 has trotted the globe in the restaurant industry over 64 years, was behind his eatery every step of the way, noting that the reservations-only venue had takers through early 2015. Then came Sept. 20, the date of Maitre D's official closing. Zalesjak, who sold the building at 5523 La Jolla Blvd. to a Belgian firm for $2.35 million, says he has little additional knowledge of the transaction — he's been too busy calling the unhappy folks whose holiday plans included the restaurant. “They're a little sad,” Slovenia native Zalesjak said, “but I can't help it. This is a nice change. Y'know, for 64 years, I never had Christmas or New Year's off. Now I'll have the holidays, and the next 10 years, to find out what I

want to do.” Meanwhile, he said, his staff is well equipped for subsequent employment amid his drill-sergeant training. “They can cook and serve the wrong way,” he declared, “only over my dead body.” I never did visit Maitre D', whose menu included rack of lamb Dijonnaise and Tournados Marchant de Vin and other entries whose favor has perhaps faded with time. Most important to me is that Maitre D' was a

French restaurant; that alone was reassurance that the Republic (which, after all, is very seriously the reason the United States exists) lives to fight another day. But per Joni Mitchell, you don't know what you got 'til it's gone — and that's why I already miss this neighborhood staple. Paradise isn't exactly putting up a parking lot in its place, but to uninitiated (and regretful) admirers like me, it might as well.

Maitre D' opened on La Jolla Boulevard in 1982; with its shuttering, restaurateur Louis Zalesjak (inset) can enjoy the holidays for the first time in 64 years. COURTESY PHOTO

Wake up and ‘Swell’ the Coffee! A few months ago, The Patio Restaurant Group formed a partnership with the Mission Beach-based Swell Café to bring customers the best, locally roasted coffee in San Diego. Don’t just take our word for it; Swell Café was voted “Best Coffee in San Diego” by San Diego Magazine this year. The Patio on Lamont Street currently features a signature blend of coffee from Swell containing a mix of Colombian, Guatemalan and Ethiopian beans. It’s called the “Piazza” blend. It’s available at the restaurant for purchase or at The Swell Café. If specialty coffee drinks are more your style, look no further. The Patio is serving up cappuccinos, lattes and mochas for $4. Or, if you’re in the mood for something more adventurous, try our a Faux-Tella Coffee, made with Hazelnut Bailey’s, Godiva Milk Chocolate, coffee, whipped cream, and hazelnut. It’s perfect for fall as the nights grow cooler! The Patio on Lamont Street is currently open every day at 9 a.m. Stop by for breakfast and experience the coffee everyone is talking about!

Ahi Sushi & Grill is located at 3949 Governor Drive in University City in the shopping center. For more information, call (858) 678-0288 or visit iloveahi.com.

HEALTH BRIEFS >> Medication mistakes can be dangerous 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 medi-

It doesn't seem possible (at least not to the organizers), but the sixth La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, held Oct. 11 and 12, is history. Expected attendance of 40,000 was met as the free event fueled its reputation as one of the region's premiere festivals, with Talia Hayward's unusual coin art (below), street performance (upper right) and stationary visual pieces (lower right) fueling the imaginations of kids of all ages. Profits go toward underfunded programs like art, music, science, physical education, technology and on-site medical care at local public elementary and middle schools. Receipts for 2014 aren't in yet, but since its inception in 2009, the festival has raised nearly $340,000 for these programs. FESTIVAL COURTESY PHOTOS; TEXT BY MARTIN JONES WESTLIN

cation 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.

The poems are excerpted from my book, “Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without: Hope and Healing after Loss.” Disbelief Maybe it’s all a mistake maybe it wasn’t real maybe it was a bad dream maybe it didn’t happen maybe when I come home tonight he’ll be there, saying “Hi, how was it?” and I’ll tell him all about it except he wasn’t there and he didn’t ask

Healthy Lifestyles

Disbelief and Reality “Disbelief” is the third state. Slowly, numbness becomes cognitive dissonance. The phone rings, you think it’s him — it isn’t, he’s dead. You get some news you want to share with her; for a split-second you plan on doing so, then you realize you cannot, because she is gone. Even though you know your husband has passed, you keep expecting to see him sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper when you come home or to hear him making coffee when you get up in the morning; you shop for two; you say “us” instead of “me.” Your unconscious has not yet caught up with the new reality of your life, and it will take time to reprogram your reflexes and habits. Reality Pain The pain comes on suddenly while I drive or eat dinner or talk to a friend • Residential Assisted Living Homes • Quality & Passionate 24/7 Care • Enriching Activities & Outings • Loving Care, Great Locations, Great Food • Memory/Dementia Care Offered • Hospice, Short term stays (respite) OK

the pain is terrible it starts somewhere in the center of my body and radiates out everywhere it’s the pain of being aware of how I miss him in that moment the overpowering awareness of his forever absence and there is no one to turn to nowhere to go no getting away no possible refuge no stopping the pain it sits there enveloping me and I am helpless in its grip contemplating with awe the immensity of how much pain one can bear without dying from it Finally you are emotionally able to accept “Reality,” the fourth state. You get in touch with the finality of death, with the permanent absence of the beloved spouse, with having to live without the one you cannot live without. It is a period of intense grief for most people. You may be plagued with guilt, the urge to blame someone, and unanswerable questions. “How could this have happened?” “Maybe we could have done more to save him.” All

the “could have,” “should have,” “why did I?,” “why didn’t I?” come surging into our consciousness. You are left alone; there is no one to share the minutiae of daily life. You have lost the witness to your life. No one knows what you had for breakfast, what you just read, where you went, what you thought. And, worst of all, no one really cares. The feeling of isolation is pervasive. You are no longer the center of anyone’s life, nor is anyone the center of yours. Alienation Alone at a Party Going alone to a party will the people there be friendly? will someone talk to me? or will I stand in a corner glass in hand scanning the room for a familiar face not finding one looking for a smile or nod approaching close-knit groups unable to enter? I am a stranger among the natives an alien in a foreign land I will go home early tonight

experience the fifth emotional state, “Alienation.” We tend to identify ourselves in relationship to other people — daughter, son, mother, father, wife, husband, friend. ... So if you are no longer a wife, what are you? You are single in a couples world: you market for one, cook for one, walk alone, go to a party and stand in the corner with a glass in your hand watching happy couples. You’re not a whole person; you are half a couple. I became grateful when couples invited me to join them for dinner or a movie, but I found the odd number uncomfortable (“three’s a crowd,” “the fifth wheel”). Unless they are old friends, there is a level of discomfort felt by your companions too. This uneasiness is probably why many recent widows are dropped by some couples. It is also my experience. The way to keep up with the relationship is to reciprocate: treat the couple to dinner or lunch or get tickets to the theater or a concert. You must become creative to maintain friendships.

Getting out of your comfort zone to meet the world is both difficult and imperative. When you first begin to make that effort, you

Nierenberg Prize recipient says stop eating so much Award-winning author Michael Pollan says everything he's learned about food and health can be summed up in seven words: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." He’s also convinced that our grandmothers wouldn’t even recognize the food we are consuming today. "When you pick up that box of portable yogurt tubes or eat something with 15 ingredients you can't pronounce,” he says, “ask yourself: ‘What are those things doing there?’" UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the William Nierenberg family are proud to announce that Pollan has been selected the 2014 recipient of the Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest. The award was presented Oct. 9 at the Samuel Scripps Auditorium after a short awards ceremony. A journalism professor at The University of California, Berkeley, and a contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine since 1987, Pollan is the author of such books as “The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals” and the recently published “Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation.” He has received numerous awards for increasing eating consciousness with an often humorous approach while breaking down the ethical and ecological dimensions of our eating choices.

Pollan’s “In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto” suggests that the more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become. A contributor to the documentary “Food, Inc.” Pollan raises questions on the origination and processing of food and the giant agribusinesses' stake in food production. Pollan writes that the food we eat today would be completely unidentifiable to that our grandmothers ate, since the majority of their meals were made from scratch. He has launched a national conversation about the American way of eating, one meal at a time. Pollan is the brother of actor Tracy Pollan, wife of actor Michael J. Fox. The Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest is bestowed to those who have made a difference to the public at large. Recipients include director James Cameron, journalist Ira Flatow, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, primatologist Dame Jane Goodall and broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite. The prize was created to honor the memory of William Nierenberg, director of UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography from 1965 to 1986. The prize consists of a bronze medal and $25,000.

SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER GROUP | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2014 | SDNEWS.COM

Autumn is here – so chili weather isn't far behind Now that autumn is here, we are in the middle of harvesting a bumper crop of many different types of chilies. Easy to grow in both the garden and containers, chilies are an attractive addition to the landscape, with their shiny green leaves and brightly colored fruit. While the hot, dry months of summer are the best time to grow chilies, you can grow them in San Diego through the fall and winter if you have a sunny, warm area in your garden. Many local nurseries carry plants in four-inch pots and sixpacks throughout the year. Some believe that planting chili peppers around the other plants in your garden will help cut down on unwanted pests, since the chemical that makes the chilies hot can also ward off insects. Filled with antioxidants and vitamins A, C and B, chilies are a healthy way to add a little kick of heat to your food. A member of the Solanaceae, or the nightshade family that includes tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplants and potatoes, it has a high level of the alkaloid chemical capsaicin to give it its fire. The concentration of heat in

the chili is found in its interior veins and in seeds. The seeds become hot because they sit on top of the veins and absorb the capsaicin. By removing the veins and seeds, you can control some of the chilies' heat. The general rule with chilies is the smaller the chili, the hotter the flavor. Most can be harvested green, or you can wait until their full color develops, which can intensify both their heat and flavor. Fully ripened chilies will range in colors from yellow, orange and bright fire engine red; as you pick them, your plants will reward you by producing more. Always remember to wear rubber gloves when handling chilies, and do not touch your face or eyes, since they can burn you. Fresh chilies are hotter than cooked or roasted ones, and if you dry them, they could be as much as ten times hotter than when they were fresh. Whole chilies can be roasted on the grill or in a very hot oven. After they char, place them in a paper bag or a bowl covered with plastic wrap and let them sweat for about 10 minutes. By doing this, you will be able to remove the papery

skin and seeds with ease. I keep the roasted chilies in a jar with a little olive oil in the refrigerator, or you can freeze them for later use.

half and remove the seeds. Lay the chilies on a parchment-lined baking sheet skin side up and bake at 200 degrees for 1 to 3 hours, checking them to make sure they do not burn. Once dried and cooled, you can keep them in a glass jar away from the light. Once dried, you can process them in a food processor

and make chili flakes. The Internet is full of chili recipes, and if you haven't tried stuffed grilled jalapeños, or making your own Thai sweet chili sauce, look up recipes that suit your taste and enjoy! — Linda is a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker.

Regulations are central at plan group's short-term rentals debate La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) in October heard testimony from both sides on whether more rules and regulations are needed to reign in the short-term vacation rentals process but deferred final action until its Nov. 6 meeting. Increased police response and establishment of a comprehensive permit process were among suggestions made by the LJCPA’s ad hoc stakeholders committee on short-term vacation rentals in June. Institution of a minimum seven-day rental term, allowing individual properties to be rented a maximum of 12 times per year, was discussed but voted down. The ad hoc committee, comprising LJCPA members and representatives of homeowners and the rental industry, had been meeting for several months sorting through and debating items associated with short-term vacation rentals considered problematic by some. La Jolla residents have increasingly come forward complaining that noise, partying, traffic and other problems caused by troublesome short-term renters have become an intolerable disruption, eroding neighborhood character. At its Oct. 2 meeting, LJCPA heard a debate on short-term rentals between Jon

Mangerich, representing homeowners in favor of more regulations, and Jonah Mechanic, speaking on behalf of the rental industry. Mechanic insisted regulations already in place only need to be strengthened. “There was no unanimity on any of the motions to any of the proposed solutions,” said LJCPA member Helen Boyden, who chaired the ad hoc committee on short-term rentals. “The committee was also not able to pass a motion to limit vacation rentals to 30 days, or no more than 12 rentals in a 12month period.” Mangerich argued that troublesome short-term rentals are threatening “a way of life that attracted so many of us to La Jolla.” He said he felt the LJCPA’s ad hoc committee “failed to adhere to the direction of the LJCPA, which was to study short-term vacation rental policies in other cities.” Mangerich also took issue with the committee’s recommendation to beef up San Diego Police Department's Community Assisted Party Program (CAPP) as an answer to troublesome rentals, noting that “CAPP was designed for SDSU, not for the short-term vacation rental market. Shortterm vacation rentals in residential neigh-

borhoods disrupt our quality of life dramatically increasing the intensity of use. “As homeowners, is the only recourse to move away?” Mangerich asked. "If so, where? Why is this happening? Profit.” Noting problematic short-term vacation rentals are a “national problem,” Mangerich contended the “city has to do more with its regulations which have no teeth. We ask the city to strengthen municipal codes in residential zones to require rental of no less than 30 consecutive calendar days.” Mechanic argued that troublesome rentals are just a fraction of the entire local short-term market, pointing out such rentals are an important driver of San

Diego’s tourist-oriented economy. “There are about 460 short-term rentals in La Jolla, and problem rentals represent less than 1 percent of the total inventory,” Mechanic said, adding that procedures already in place, like CAPP, only need to be strengthened to deal with the limited number of chronically problematic short-term rentals. “A bad neighbor is a bad neighbor, and a nuisance is a nuisance, whether people are renting for three days, three weeks, three months or 30 years,” said Mechanic.

him to surf with Jacob Kilby and Ricochet is kind of like having a whole heart for the first time,” she added. Fridono said Ricochet, a female 6-year-old golden retriever, was “supposed to be a service dog but likes to chase critters.” Ricochet instead found her calling helping the disabled. “Now, she surfs with people who are disabled, counterbalances the board,” said Fridono. “She raises a lot of awareness.” Since the summer of 2009, she's won a kennel;s worth of awards and has brought in more than $300,000 toward causes to empower kids with special needs, people with disabilities, wounded warriors and veterans with PTSD. Both families contacted Ricochet for assistance within 24 hours of

one another. A “Waves of the Heart” campaign was subsequently begun to help raise awareness of the boys' life-threatening situations and need for organ donors. It was decided to bring both Jacobs together, and sponsors paid for Jumper's plane fare and hotel room to make that happen. “This shows just how much an organ donation can do,” said Fridono, adding it’s especially important to get that word out to the general public. “One organ donation can save up to eight lives,” said Kilby, who’d never surfed with a dog or another transplant recipient. “You never know who your organs are going to, so it’s very important.” Asked if he was afraid to try surfing, Jumper said no, adding, “I’ve always wanted to try it. It seemed interesting to me.” Ever surfed with a dog? “Never,” said Jumper. “It sounds really fun,

Ricochet inspires a book – and countless lives In the fall of 1995, Jennifer Kayler's life ended – and began – at Rady Children's Hospital. The San Diego facility's emergency unit had received her son Patrick Ivison, who'd been struck by a car in Imperial Beach and whose injuries would render him a quadriplegic at all of 14 months of age. But the ensuing six weeks saw Patrick recover sufficiently for discharge, with an immensely relieved mom intent on her boy's persistent needs and desires. Fade to July of 2009, with an irrepressible Patrick having taken to surfing as his means of physical and spiritual release. One miraculous thing would lead to another miraculous thing – and suddenly, 19-monthold surfdog Ricochet came into her own, choosing Patrick as her first tandem surfing buddy and an inseparable companion amid the waves' wholesale sanction. Judy Fridono, author of “Ricochet: Riding a Wave of Hope with the Dog Who Inspires Millions,” tells the story a lot better than I do. In fact, she and collaborator Kay Pfaltz track Ricochet's path to notoriety amid a disarming cadence and any

FAULCONER >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

Regarding construction of another fire station in UTC, Faulconer said, “We need fire stations to keep up with growth and development, and it’s my job to put that in the budget. You can hold me accountable to that.” Asked about his stance on encourage bicycling, Faulconer replied, “I’m a cyclist myself, and it’s important to encourage people to use them.

number of adorable pictures, including images of Patrick and the dog on a surfboard. Traumatic brain injuries, developmental delays, autism, post-traumatic tress, Fridono's own story of deeply personal loss and Ricochet as the central figure in several fundraising campaigns are masterfully and lovingly charted; the several experts' endorsements include that of dog expert and TV personality Victoria Stillwell, who calls the book “a truly inspirational read that will not only make you laugh and cry but also confirm what great love, trust and dedication can achieve.” You'll have to buy the book to find out if Patrick meets his goal of walking across the stage at his graduation from Scripps High School – meanwhile, it's a cinch that Ricochet, a born surfer and a true ambassador of her healing mission, was a major figure in whatever the outcome. The mysteries of the human-animal bond are many and complex, but Ricochet's life of service, and the book that reflects it, peels back several critical layers.

of San Diego.” “Next month,” he said, “we’ll be unveiling our bikeshare program, where you can rent a bike and do it in an urban environment.” Not all of the questions/comments Faulconer received were from happy campers. One audience member questioned the need for constructing the planned trolley extension to UTC. “I don’t think anybody in this room can honestly say the trolley, as it is right now, is useful and a good use of taxpayer money — it’s not,” the audience member contended.

though.” Everybody was stoked after the event. “They were able to stand up on their first wave; that was surprising,” Fridono said. “The one Jacob (Jumper) held onto Ricochet and gave himself the confidence to stand up (while) holding on to her.” The problem for both boys involves an overwhelming shortage

Right now, more than 120,000 patients are waiting for a transplant in the United States. But both Jacobs have kept a positive attitude and were excited for

retail Keith Eshelman said, “when I was thinking where can we extend our store reach to a community that represents progressive thinkers, students and that target customer that buys a product with a purpose. We found quite a bit of support in La Jolla. La Jolla just reaches to downtown as well as North County. There's a proximity to UCSD also, so I think this is going to resonate. “We could have found a very commercial part of San Diego to locate in, but that's not the way TOMS wants to be presented.” The concept behind TOMS is easy to grasp, but it stems from an idea formulated on decidedly foreign soil. In 2006, American Blake Mycoskie befriended some children in a village in Argentina, discovering that they had no shoes. He founded TOMS almost on the spot and called his concept One on One, declaring that his fledgling firm would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes to be given to a child in need. Realizing that One for One could serve other global needs, Mycoskie launched TOMS Eyewear in 2011 to help restore sight to persons in need with every purchase of sunglasses and optical frames. Three years later, TOMS Roasting Co. launched, with the mission to provide clean water to developing communities with the purchase of premium coffee. “We have a reason for poppping up,” Eshelman said. “We're testing if we can make viable a unique social currency here. There's always a reason for a Halloween store popping up, sure, and there's a reason for the Christmas tree lot coming to town for a month. But we have a reason for coming to the community. We want to drive home our commitment to giving as well as engage people in a new, fresh way.” TOMS will host a variety of events through the holiday season, including craft nights, movie screenings, panels with TOMS marketplace designers and “instameets” with local charitable organizations. TOMS Give Shop will be open daily from 10 a.m to 7 p.m. until closing on Jan. 6, 2015. For more information, please contact Emily Tschirhart, the store's public relations manager, at (424) 289-3634 or email her at emily.tschirhart@toms.com.

Shores plan group maps out refurbishment, storm-drain plans Community planners at La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) got updates on refurbishment of The Map at Kellogg Park and progress being made on the Avenida de la Playa infrastructure storm drain and sewer and water project 809 at its October meeting. Mary Munk, of nonprofit Friends of La Jolla Shores, formed to raise

funds to improve and beautify Kellogg Park, reported negotiations with contractor T.B. Penick & Sons, Inc. to fix work they did on The Map in the park are ongoing and that the outlook is hopeful. “When we replace The Map, there needs to be some sort of fence or rope around it to maintain it and also keep it in good shape,” Munk said.

The Map is a 2,300-square-foot plaza at Kellogg Park depicting marine life at La Jolla Shores. The Map has seriously deteriorated since the two contractors completed the educational project in September of 2008. Munk noted scuba divers and other ocean users who frequent the area and pass over The Map on their

storm drain and sewer and water main replacement on Avenida de la Playa is pending. That comes following a community survey on the advisability of night work. A project contractor said a target date of Nov. 15 has been set for completion of storm-drain improvements on Avenida de la Playa, which currently has the community’s small commercial strip torn up and fenced off for construction. The contract with the city for storm-drain improvements stipulates they must be done by the end of the year. The next meeting of LJSA will be Nov. 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, T-29 Martin Johnson House.

way to the ocean has been a problem. She added those people need to be redirected away from The Map and toward a path alongside it guiding them to the ocean. “There are a couple of ways this could be done, and it could be an Eagle Scout project,” Munk said, adding, “It’s something that could pull the community together.” Munk said preliminary plans now are to replace The Map’s current damaged crushed and stained glass surface with individual mosaic tiles intended to be more resistant to damage and weathering. Meanwhile, LJSA members said “a big decision on whether or not the city is going to allow work at night” to speed up ongoing construction on

San Diego Coastkeeper, designed to protect swimmable, fishable and drinkable waters in San Diego County, has published a five-part blog series — part one of which features information on La Jolla beaches — outlining healthful habits that protect and preserve the ecological gems in our waters when ocean-goers want to explore their beauty. The series uses protected underwater areas in La Jolla to illustrate the importance of careful tide pooling and snorkeling while offering specific steps to follow. The tide-pool tips include: • Know before you go • Take only pictures • Watch animals from a distance • Leave your pets at home • Don’t touch anything • Don’t overturn rocks • Don’t feed or attract animals • Don’t destroy or damage landscapes; • Several other common-sense topics on the enjoyment of area tide pools. Other entries feature marine ecology, tide pool dos and don'ts, staying safe and green and the dos and don'ts of snorkeling. For more on San Diego Coastkeeper, visit sdcoastkeeper.org.
