Medical marijuana dispensaries,including a handful along thebeachfront, are beginning to popup, apparently taking advantage ofcontinuing legal uncertainties overthe hot-button political issue.

“At least three have opened inPacific Beach, and it’s not just therebut all over San Diego,” said TonyFranco, broker at Income PropertyInvestors, Inc. covering Point Lomato La Jolla.

A commercial Realtor for adecade along the waterfront, Fran-co has noticed a distinct uptick indemand for dispensary locations

just recently after a long lull.“In 2009 there were several

places for rent for marijuana dis-pensaries through commercialreal-estate leasing,” he said. “Thatall died down in 2011-12.”

What killed dispensaries then iswhat Franco refers to as the “three-headed monster” — the IRS, polit-ical attacks on their legality and alaw enforcement crackdown bySan Diego U.S. Attorney LauraDuffy.

“Dispensaries were attacked fromdifferent angles, such as lawenforcement seizing landlord’s

property,” Franco said, adding thatnow, with a new, more favorablemayoral administration, the politi-cal climate has changed.

“[Mayor Bob] Filner has voiced apro-[medical marijuana] opinion,which has led dispensaries to bebrave again and start opening upretail shops with landlords that areliberal-minded enough to permitthem,” Franco said. “Now in 2013,my phone is ringing again withinquiries from operators that want

The La Jolla Relay for Life, thisyear organized by Jamie Meronoffand held at La Jolla High School,will begin at 9 a.m. with an open-ing ceremony celebrating thosewho have battled cancer. The sur-vivor’s lap around the track willtake place at 9:30 a.m., followedby continuous laps by family,friends and other supporters.

“It’s really a community-based

event with people who have beenaffected by cancer, whether theyhad it or have known someonewho has, or just anyone,”Meronoff said. “The idea is to haveat least one person on the track forall 24 hours to show that cancerdoesn’t sleep, so neither can ourefforts to fight it.”

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting YourPoint Loma / Ocean Beach Home Up for Sale

Local female boxer Danyelle Wolf— whose meteoric rise in the box-ing world was featured in the La JollaVillage News on May 12, 2011 —gave us an update on her recentaccomplishments and her ongoinggoal to make it to the 2016Olympics in Brazil.

When we last spoke, Wolf hadonly been seriously boxing for a cou-ple years but was gaining a reputa-tion on the female boxing circuit asa major contender. Her reputation,however, worked against her asother boxers refused to fight her,especially after they would see her6-foot frame and strong physique.

At the time, she had only been ableto schedule four fights — all ofwhich she had won.

Things have turned around,however, Wolf said. She recentlyreturned from Venezuela, whereshe won the welterweight divisionat the Continental Championships,which featured top female athletesfrom North, Central and SouthAmerica. Before that, she won herdivision at the USA Boxing Nation-al Championships and was invitedto join Team USA. She has been vis-iting training camps, including atthe Olympic Training Center in Col-orado Springs and has been meet-

ing with sports management com-panies and sponsors.

“I’m shopping management rightnow, updating my website, meetingwith a lot of big names,” she said. “Imet with a lot of people in the [Unit-ed States Olympic Committee] inColorado. There have been somecrazy good things happening.”

Wolf, a Pacific Beach resident,isn’t slowing down, either. She’shoping to attend the Women’s Gold-en Gloves National Championshipsin Florida next month, after whichshe’ll travel to Finland, Ukraine andChina with Team USA. Betweenthat, she’s hoping to attend several

national tournaments, though herbiggest obstacle at the moment isfunding.

“There are still a lot of tourna-ments that I have to pay to attend,”she said. “I’m hoping to get spon-sors to help with some of that.”

Meanwhile, she’ll be featured inPacific Magazine in July, meet withinvestors and potential sponsorsand keep training hard every day tomeet her goal.

AMENDMENT TO ACCOMMODATE

ESHA DENIED — Trustees rejectedthe city’s requested amendmentsto the La Jolla Community Plan toestablish an environmentally sen-sitive habitat area at Children’sPool beach in a 9-6-1 vote. Despiteseveral attempts to help shapealternative language for the citymoving forward, no other motionswere passed.

Some trustees expressed frustra-tion the changes were imposed onthe local planning group by thecity.

“The community plan is veryspecific about what needs to bedone with the resources we have,”said trustee Tom Brady. “There’s alot more to amending a communi-ty plan than just a two-weeknotice the city gave us to amendour plan. I think it’s just absolute-ly wrong.”

Although LJCPA vice presidentJoe LaCava said the city is goingthrough the appropriate processfor a discrete community planamendment, Brady said he is frus-trated that other proposed com-munity-generated amendmentshave fallen by the wayside.

“To change the community planis a very extensive process. Thepreparation of changes and theactivation of the community planis a hell of a process,” said Brady.“There’s an accumulation ofseven or eight items that shouldbe at the top of the list that I thinkthe community should be address-

ing instead.”Although trustee Ray Weiss

agreed that the changes areimposed on the local planningorganization, he also believes thefuture of the beach is out of thelocal community’s control and,instead, in the hands of state andfederal law.

“This is a way of the city cover-ing its rear end by having the com-munity plan conform to what theyhave to do anyway,” he said. “Thisis something that is in the com-munity plan not because the com-munity supported it, but because ithas to be in there for the commu-nity plan to be consistent with reg-ulations.”

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS MOVE

FORWARD — Despite some concernby neighbors about the impact onparking on Kearsarge Road, the1644 Crespo Drive project involv-ing a 700-square-foot detachedguest quarters on a 0.2-acre sitewas approved by trustees. The pro-ject stretches from Crespo Drive toKearsarge Road with the guestquarter construction closer toKearsarge Road.

NEWS FROM LA JOLLA’S CIVIC

ORGANIZATIONS — The city’s plan-ning groups will again have theopportunity to provide input forthe city’s fiscal year 2015 publicinfrastructure budget. The LJCPAwill begin the input process atJuly’s meeting, where all La Jollans

and La Jolla organizations are wel-come to submit suggestions forinfrastructure projects to prioritizein the community.

• The city is ready to sign off onLJCPA’s bylaw amendments, whichwere approved by the planninggroup members in March.

“We did have to make someminor changes to the language ofthe bylaws that the city foundwere a little confusing or wantedto be worded,” said LJCPA VicePresident Joe LaCava. “The essenceof what we did has been preservedin its entirety.”

The bylaws will be brought tothe trustees at next month’s meet-ing for final review.

• The LJCPA passed a motionrequesting the city refrain fromremoving heritage trees until thecommunity group has had anopportunity to provide its input.The motion came as a result of aheritage tree that was removed at7850 Ivanhoe St. because it wascausing damage to the sidewalk.Although the Planned DistrictOrdinance Committee recom-mended removal of the tree inApril, the LJCPA did not get theopportunity to review the projectbefore the tree was removed.

The next La Jolla CommunityPlanning Association meeting willtake place July 10, due to its regular-ly scheduled meeting falling on a hol-iday.

Volunteers and donations arebeing sought for the 34th annualBird Rock Fourth of July Paradethis year titled “Waves of Free-dom.”

That was the good news dis-patched at Bird Rock CommunityCouncil’s (BRCC) June meeting atLupi restaurant.

First-time event coordinatorsthis year are Mindy McNeill andKim Mcintyre, who “inherited” theevent from past coordinators JulieCockrell and Erika Meyer.

“We decided we’d try and take itover for them,” McNeill said. “Oth-erwise, it wasn’t going to happen.I thought that would be sad.”

The theme, McNeill said, cameto them naturally.

“The ocean is in our backyards,and Kim’s husband is in the mili-tary and was coming home fromdeployment, so it kind of rolled offour tongues,” she said.

The neighborhood parade,McNeill said, is truly homegrown,having started out modestly with afew “Beaumont Avenue residents’

children decorating their tricyclesand riding a couple of blocks andevolved from there.”

This year’s parade begins at10 a.m., lasts about 15 minutesand culminates with a party at thecul-de-sac behind La Jolla MethodistChurch at the corner of Caminode la Costa and Beaumont Avenue,where judges will present awardsto parade participants.

A first-place Uncle Sam Awardgoes to the parade entry with thebiggest impact. The Murfey CupFourth of July Spirit Award goesto the best-dressed house on Beau-mont Avenue. There are also SilverBowl and best runner-up entriespresented.

“It’s just a fun, neighborhoodparade,” said McNeill, who saidthe event costs between $4,500and $5,000 to stage.

“It’s all funded by donationsrather than sponsorships,” saidMcNeill, noting the parade needsthe community’s financial supportas well as volunteers willing todonate their time both before and

during the event.Parade donations can be sent to

Sandy Solis, 5781 Waverly Ave.,La Jolla, 92037. For more infor-mation, email McNeill at mcneill-sd@san.rr.com.

Whether it is enforcing regula-tions, managing crowds, crackingdown on drinking/drug use or col-lecting money from user groups forpark maintenance, Shores’ resi-dents believe hiring a park rangercould be the answer.

The city, however, has repeated-ly said there is no money currentlyin the budget to hire a ranger.

A record 2,500 participants

raised $300,000 in support of

student scholarships on June 8

at the UC San Diego Triton 5K,

an annual race that takes place

during alumni weekend. Since

1996, the event has raised more

than $3 million to benefit 900

students. Alumnus and current

graduate student at UCSD Nick

Sigmon was the top male run-

ner at 15:43. The fastest female

participant was Nihal Kayali at

17:17, a La Jolla native and cur-

rent undergraduate at Yale Uni-

versity. A corresponding race

happened the day before in

Hong Kong, where 17 UCSD

alumni held their own race on

the other side of the globe.

Stella Maris Academy held its

annual Field Day — a tradition

for 18 years — on June 11 at La

transitional kindergarten through

eighth grade, participated in the

event, directed by physical edu-

cation teacher Norm Guay.

Students up to seventh grade

SCHOOLBRIEFS >> U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter, Jr.(R-50) has introduced legislationthat would protect the Mt. SoledadVeterans Memorial with its land-mark cross by allowing “any of 57religious symbols authorized bythe National Cemetery Associa-tion, including the Christiancross,” at federal war memorials.

Reacting to Hunter’s legislation,San Diego attorney Jim McElroy,representing the American CivilLiberties Union (ACLU), which isopposed to the cross at the Mt.Soledad War Memorial owned by

the federal government, said, “Youcan’t pass a law that abrogates theU.S. Constitution. For 25 years thecourts have ruled that governmentshould not take sides in matters ofreligion, should not endorse orsupport one religion over all theother religions.”

McElroy argued there’s a quali-tative difference between crosseson individual gravesites and theone at the Mt. Soledad Memorial.

“A 40-foot-high, 20-ton crosscompletely dominates the memori-al and sends a message of govern-

ment endorsement of religion,” hesaid, adding the problem of thecross’s constitutionality “can onlybe solved by either moving thecross or having the federal govern-ment transfer it in some manner.”

The Soledad cross has been thesubject of litigation for 24 yearswith a lawsuit initiated by the latePhilip Paulson, a Vietnam Warveteran who alleged that a Chris-tian religious symbol was inappro-priate at a public monument.

A 2011 ruling from the 9th U.S.Circuit Court of Appeals said the

Soledad cross violated the FirstAmendment’s ban on governmentfavoring one religion over another.

“It would be nice to have some-one down at the park on a regularbasis to keep an eye out,” agreedLJSA chair Tim Lucas.

“With all the fees paid by outfit-ters and vendors going for permit-ting to the (city’s) general fund, weought to be able to fund a ranger,”said newly appointed LJSA boardmember Sharon Luscomb, owner ofLa Jolla Kayak.

LJSA board member Izzy Tihanyiconcurred.

“We want the money to stay atthe beach,” she said. “The way it’sbeen going, it’s a mystery where it(permitting fees) goes.”

Coakley Munk suggested a newavenue LJSA might try would be toget a group together to approachMayor Bob Filner about supportingfunding for a Kellogg Park rangerduring the office hours he hosts thefirst Saturday of the month.

In other matters, San Diego PoliceDepartment officer Cindy Meyer ofNorthern Division gave a presenta-tion to community planners on

what can be done to curb solicitorsand ice cream vendors in the Shores.

“Vendors can’t be parked illegally,they have to be moving throughneighborhoods, have to be licensedwith permitting showing and can’tgo within 500 feet of schools,”Meyer said, adding the police want towork the community to be proactiveabout enforcing regulations, partic-ularly governing ice cream vendorswhom some Shores’ residents feelhave become a nuisance.

Meyers urged residents who seeillegal vending activity to contact herat cmeyer@pd.sandiego.gov. Shesaid providing documentation, pho-tographs, license plate numbers, etc.are helpful.

Chairman Tim Lucas reportedthat, due to IRS rule changes, LJSA,at least temporarily, has lost its non-profit status.

“It will cost us a $400 applicationfee for reinstatement,” Lucas said,noting the group’s indemnity insur-ance is also coming due, which willcost another several hundred dol-lars.

“My hope is that we can get boardmembership back up to 16 mem-bers so that we can spread the cost ofindemnity insurance out more,”Lucas said.

Kosup said standards are being sethigh for the Mid-Coast project.

“The bar for us is to demonstrate anet benefit to the coastal resource,”he said.

Coastal rail improvements costingabout $6.5 billion will be done insegments over the next 40 yearsalong the 26-mile I-5 corridor fromdowntown San Diego north. Kosupsaid the project segment in La Jolla’sGolden Triangle will upgrade I-5interchanges in the area makingthem “more aesthetically sensitive.”

A case in point is the I-5 GeneseeInterchange Project, which willremove and replace the Geneseeovercrossing.

“There will be about two years ofconstruction on that,” Kosup said.

The I-5/Genesee Avenue Inter-change Project will expand, from fiveto 10, the number of GeneseeAvenue overpass lanes to accommo-date greater future traffic demand.The project will improve traffic flowand reduce congestion on GeneseeAvenue, including widening freeway

access ramps and adding auxiliarylanes, as well as adding a bicycle andpedestrian facility linking to trans-portation, employment centers hos-pitals and UCSD.

Fred Sweet, producer of the LaJolla Fashion Film Festival (LJFFF),visited the Town Council to discussthe upcoming two-day festival at theMuseum of Contemporary Art.

“It is a true international festival,”Sweet said, adding the festival willlikely sell out again this year.

The LJFFF is the world’s largestgathering of fashion film profession-als with hundreds of attendeesscreening the top 1 percent of fash-ion films worldwide, as well as net-working and attending seminars,panels and press receptions.

Town Council trustee Mary Sori-ano said she’s attended the fashionfestival and she praised the work offilmmakers involved as being “subtleand passionate.”

to open up a [dispensary] busi-ness.”

Franco thinks if done right, thereturn of dispensaries could bepositive.

“If we legitimize these business-es and do proper permitting withconstruction upgrades, theycould be profitable businesses,employ people and be good for theeconomy,” he said.

Beachfront planning groups,like those in Pacific Beach andBird Rock, which have had medi-cal marijuana dispensaries before,have mixed feelings about theirreturn.

“The position of the Bird RockCommunity Council has notchanged, we are against the loca-tion of marijuana dispensaries inour neighborhood,” said advisorygroup chair Jacqueline Bell.

Bell said District 1 City Coun-cilwoman Sherri Lightner’s officetold her that “under the mayor’sproposed regulations for marijua-na dispensaries, none would beallowed in Bird Rock or elsewherein La Jolla.”

Public opinion over the dispen-sary issue is not nearly as clear inPacific Beach. Brian Curry, chairof Pacific Beach Planning Group,said the community remainsdivided over the issue.

“I’ve entertained manyinquiries from PB residents whoare very concerned about the pro-liferation of dispensaries, who feltthat they were not necessarily forsick people that need marijuanato treat their illnesses but forrecreational use, which is a prob-lem and an issue,” Curry said.“But there are also some in Pacif-ic Beach who were supportive ofthem before, think they’re greatand are amicable about the possi-bility of them returning.”

Curry said Pacific Beach plan-ners have not taken a position foror against dispensaries, addinggroup members have mixed feel-ings on the issue. Curry said theplanning group has adopted await-and-see attitude toward dis-

pensaries.“There’s probably a reasonable

— and rational — way to handlethis,” he said. “Hopefully, themayor and the City Council willfigure it out.”

Filner, a medical marijuanaproponent, has nonetheless statedrecently that dispensaries, at pre-sent, are not legally permissible inany land-use zones anywhere inthe city, and that any that haveopened have done so illegally.

“In January, the mayor com-mitted to preserving the statusquo regarding it being illegal tosite medical marijuana dispen-saries in the city of San Diegountil the time the City Counciladopts a new ordinance,” said LeeBurdick, director of special pro-jects and legal affairs in Filner’soffice. “At the same time, [the CityCouncil] asked the mayor to pro-vide them with information,including mapping where medi-cal marijuana dispensaries mightbe located. They asked for addi-tional cost data regarding licens-ing, permitting and law enforce-ment. We are in the process ofdeveloping that information, andwe hope to return back to thecouncil with that information inthe next weeks, at which point thecouncil will decide how to followup with the community planninggroups.”

The questionable legality of dis-pensaries could be cleared up witha new draft land-use Medical Mar-ijuana Consumer Cooperative

Ordinance released recently bythe city for public review.

In October 2009, the CityCouncil voted to establish a Med-ical Marijuana Task Force. OnMarch 28, 2011 the councilvoted 5-1 to approve an ordi-nance allowing medical marijua-na dispensaries in designatedzones. However, on Sept. 27,2011 the council voted 7-1 torescind that ordinance.

But the city is back for a secondbite out of the apple. The councilon April 22 directed the city attor-ney to draft a new medical mari-juana ordinance using the previ-ously adopted 2011 ordinance asa template.

Medical marijuana dispensarieswould not be allowed within1,000 feet of public parks,churches, schools, child care cen-ters, playgrounds, city libraries,minor-oriented facilities or otherdispensaries.

The newly revised ordinancewould add a 100-foot bufferbetween dispensaries and residen-tial zones, and also prohibit themwithin 1,000 feet of sensitive“uses” like drug and alcohol reha-bilitation centers.

Under the new ordinance, Fil-ner would identify those citydepartments responsible for issu-ing permits and developing feestructures for dispensaries. Hewould also be required to providea list of community planninggroups to be contacted for inputon the new land-use dispensaryordinance, as well as providing ananalysis of potential zoningimpacts, including square footageof use allowed, within each coun-cil district.

Jonathan Heller, spokesman forCity Attorney Jan Goldsmith, saidthe new revised land-use ordi-nance is out for public review andwill likely not return to the CityCouncil for further action for sev-eral months.

Several medical marijuana dis-pensaries and landlords leasing tothem did not reply to repeatedattempts to contact them for thisarticle.

TODAY

Leading up to the La Jolla FashionFilm Festival and InternationalFashion Film Awards on July 26and 27, La Jolla Today will featureinterviews with movers and shak-ers in the fashion and film indus-tries, some of whom will be attend-ing the awards. This week, fashionphotographer Pavel Badzhakovtalks about what it takes to have aneye for fashion and how to capturethat on film.

Q: Do you feel internationalevents such as the LJFFF can bringpeople together in ways the Internet

and Facebook can’t?A: I am 100 percent positive that

Internet events or Facebook, etc.can’t even compare to a festival likeLJFFF. Being a part of this and thechance to meet some of the bestindustry professionals is a uniqueexperience. The direct contacts andthe ways to share the knowledgewith other people is something thatno Internet platform is able to offerso far.

Q: How did you get involved withfashion film?

A: I have worked as a profession-al fashion photographer for 16

years now. Four years ago, I predict-ed that still images were going toevolve to short movies, and myassumption appears to be correct. Itwas then I started to create shortfashion films. Two years ago, I wasspotted by one of the largest fashiontelevision networks in the world(FashionTV) and shortly after thatmy films were exposed to the world.

Q: What are the important ele-

ments that make a fashion film suc-cessful?

A: That’s a very good question.Videography and cinematographyhave become the new way toexpress ideas of the up-and-comingartists. It was something that hadnot been explored much yet, but itbecame very popular very quickly.Creativity is something that helps afashion film to become successful.There are no rules anymore and theonly boundaries we have are ourideas. Of course, the gorgeous mod-els are still the 100 percent rule forgetting attention. Makeup artists,hairstylists and designers from allover the world are creating the fash-

ion teams of tomorrow and onlythe future will show what else we’reabout to experience...

Q: What advice would you giveto aspiring filmmakers?

A: Be positive, try new tech-niques, break the rules, share yourknowledge and results, collaboratewith the industry professionals, donot be afraid to dream and ask“stupid” questions. And shoot,shoot, shoot. There are no wrongsteps, only new experiences. Also,it’s important to have a good eye.

Those searching for somethought-provoking art to take in overthe coming weeks might want to stopby Pannikin Coffee & Tea starting onJuly 1.

Fine art photographer John Purlia,whose work centers around large-scale photos of three-dimensionaldioramas he creates in his La Jollastudio out of a staggering collectionof found objects, will present “Talesfrom the Vinyl Dimension: Portraitsand Landscapes” at the coffee housefrom July 1 to July 31.

Purlia’s vignettes,which usually include amessage embedded intheir titles, send theviewer into a surrealworld where Kewpiedolls and other figurinesdominate strange land-scapes, often against thebackdrop of a vintagevinyl record.

For the upcomingexhibit, Purlia said hewanted to zoom in onthe central subjects —action figures and othertoys — to force theviewer to look moreclosely at what oftengoes unnoticed.

“Over the past few years, I’ve beendiligent about taking ‘behind the sce-nes’ photos of the stage constructionto document elements you don’t seein the final image,” Purlia wrote inan email. “I take these with my point-and-shoot camera from all kinds ofangles to give new perspective on apiece, or to just get a little closer to aninteresting aspect of the story. In thepast, I’ve used these shots in bookprojects or on my web site, but morerecently have posted these shots tosocial media as ‘sneak peeks’ of newphotos.”

Purlia was struck, while workingon “Tales from the Vinyl Dimension,”by one of these behind-the-scenesshots.

“The shot appealed to me becauseone of the things I’ve tried to accom-plish through my work is to invitethe viewer to look very closely atobjects they may otherwise take forgranted,” he said. “As kids, we lookvery closely at our toys, examiningevery detail and every flaw, and I feltthis particular behind-the-scenesshot accomplished this in a mannerthat likely would be missed in thelarge piece, as it brought the viewereven closer to the scene I had con-structed.”

He decided to add to the show aseries of “mini-landscapes” — close-in shots centered on a figure emerg-ing from the center of a vinyl record.He then wondered how much closerhe could get to the figures, and usingthe macro setting on his point-and-shoot, took another series of portraitsshot about an inch away from thetoys’ faces.

Purlia also added a video elementto the exhibit, with more than 30minutes of looping video, includingstop-motion animation, slideshowsand time-lapse footage. Viewers, hesaid, will get a sense of the three-dimensionality of his work throughthe video, for which he started witha finished photograph set up in hislight tent, and, step by step, removed

the figurines, toys and other ele-ments, slowly emptying the tent.

“The frames are then reversed onplayback to create the illusion of thescene building itself up from noth-ing,” he said. “It’s an interesting —and time consuming — process thatrequires me to develop a storyboardfor the animation in reverse.”

Purlia said his work is often mis-taken for Photoshopped images cre-ated by compiling images from dif-ferent sources.

“That is not at all the case — andI don’t even own a copyof Photoshop,” he said.“Each piece is built as athree-dimensional diora-ma inside a light tentusing all kinds of collect-ed objects: records, books,toys, curios, religious fig-ures, etc.”

Once the scene is setup, his exhaustive processinvolves taking photoafter photo for referenceshots and scrutinizingthem on his computer,then making minutechanges to the scene —a step that can take daysor even weeks.

“With the final staging in place Itake several photos, all from the exactsame vantage point using a variety ofcamera settings, then process theseshots on my computer — sometimesworking on a single photo, some-times combining as many as a dozenphotos — to generate a single imagethat will be shown at an exhibit,” hesaid.

“Tales from the Vinyl Dimension”will feature themes of political andreligious conflict, narratives Purliasaid he has been exploring for sever-al years. The exhibit will include areception with the artist on July 6from 5 to 7 p.m. Pannikin Coffee &Tea is located at 7467 Girard Ave.For more information about Purlia’swork, visit www.johnpurlia.com.

CONTEMPORARY FINE ARTS

GALLERY will host an artist

opening reception for its newest

exhibit, “Not Your Mama’s Teapot”

on June 22 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Artists Jane Burton and

Marcela Panasiti will be featured

in the show, which centers on

large-scale unique ceramic sculp-

ture. Burton’s work involves the

coil-building method of ceramics

to create her 4-by-20-foot pit-

fired figures.

“My work incorporates tech-

niques such as pit-firing, oxides,

stains and slips that create a

timeless and ancient look,”

Burton said. “I’m fully immersed

in the process from the first

time I dig my fingers into the

clay until I pull the vessel from

the ashes. In my large-scale

pieces I work in stages. The ini-

tial stages are like the beginning

of a relationship, dealing with sur-

face issues and structural prob-

lems, technical and conceptual

issues. As the sculpture grows

and becomes closer to my height,

my relationship with it changes,

becoming highly personal and

more intimate.”

Panasiti creates organic murals

using hand-crafted tiles she

shapes from the adobe red clay

of Sedona, Ariz.

“The shapes and the colors in

the unique Sedona landscape,

formed by the sun, the wind, the

water and the rain inspire me to

experiment with this art form

using simple materials like adobe

clay,” said Panasiti. “In working

with the earth in Sedona I have

learned to respect the natural

materials and to realize that I

can’t control exactly how the work

comes out. My work reflects my

love of architecture and construc-

tion. The reason I first came to

Arizona was to work for the Frank

Lloyd Wright School of Architec-

ture in Phoenix and the geometric

elements in my work are inspired

by his buildings.”

Are You Planning ForLong-Term Care?

The Associated Press – NORC Centerfor Public Affairs Research recentlyreleased the findings of a national pollon long-care. The poll interviewedAmericans who were 40 years or olderon their perceptions, attitudes and ideasabout aging and long-term care.What was found was this:

Most Americans underestimated thecost of nursing home care and overesti-mated what Medicare pays.Almost one-third of the people inter-viewed don’t want to think about gettingolder.

Sixty-five percent of Americans arenot putting money aside to help thempay for possible long-term care needs.

Sixty-eight percent of Americans inter-viewed think their family will take careof them when the need arises.Even though Americans are concernedabout aging, almost sixty percent havetaken no steps of talking to their familyabout long-term care.

A majority of Americans, regardlessof political preferences, would supportsolutions from the government tofinance long-term care. Seventy-fivepercent favor tax incentives to encour-

age saving for long-term care expensesand fifty-one percent would like a gov-ernment administered plan.

This poll has come at a time when thefederal Commission on Long-TermCare is exploring policy options formaking sure all Americans will be ableto age with dignity and independence.For more information on health careneeds and help with long-term care, calla RN Care Manager from Innovative

What makes the La Jolla Wellness Studiostand apart from other fitness centers, isthe technological approach it employs,utilizing vibration technology and focus-ing on the equal importance of prepa-ration and recovery time. First time visi-tors have their body scanned to producea 15-point comprehensive analysis thatpersonalizes the exact areas and measurements to focus on. Then comes theworkout, if you can even call it that. Unlike a sweaty and exhausting trip to thegym, here you can come in as you are at any point of the day. The process con-sists of three intervals; you begin by standing on a vibrating platform that pre-pares your muscles for action, then four minutes on the range of motiondevice, and followed by six minutes laying on a horizontal vibrating platformthat facilitates muscle recovery and prevents aches and pains.

Women With Hair Loss CanHave Thick, Healthy Hair

Volume is the most requested serviceof all clients. Thick, healthy hair is neverout of style! Even with all the excellentprofessional volumizing products avail-able, nothing compares with the realthing: thick , healthy human hair!

The unique patented process used atJudy's salon attaches a protein bond ofreal human hair to a small section ofyour own hair. The bonds are so discreetyou can style your hair anyway youchoose.This unique application processmakes it the only system that does notfurther damage your hair

Most women who want this servicesuffer from thin,weak and damaged nat-ural hair, but once this application pro-cess has been applied, you will beamazed at the transformation thatoccurs, not only in your hair, but also inyour outlook! • How Do You Match Extensions ?

If you are blending colors chooseextensions that are the same level ofcolor as the clients own hair . If you arechanging the level of the client’s hairchoose a shade that works well with theskin tone. A coloring process can bedone to the natural hair 48 hours priorto application and extensions can bematched to that. For clients with thinnerhair, extension with a smaller attach-ment bond and a single strand applica-tion process so the hair is not damagedand can hold the weight of the exten-sion. This will give natural looking vol-ume and length to thinning hair.

If a client with curly hair wants towear their hair straight then nothingneeds to be done to the extensions . Ifthe hair is worn curly most of the timethe extensions can be permed prior toattacment to the natural hair.• What Type of Extensions Do You Use?

Judy uses Great Lengths all-naturalhair extensions and prefers these exten-sions because they are created from100% human hair and use a unique,application process that attaches a bondof protein the same molecular structureas your hair. This application processdoes not harm your own hair . Whileothers use techniques such as welding,waxing, gluing or knotting,which strainyour hair to a high degree Judy uses amuch more gentle principle called mod-ulating. An extremely high-tech methodof bonding the hair strand to your ownhair. Extensions can be used for volu-mising, lengthening, colouring or simplyadding texture; Judy will offer a free con-sultation guiding you through your newstyle.

• Can Extensions Damage My Hair?No, they will not. Actually, even very

fine and damaged hair can becomehealthier if you’re wearing hair exten-sions because they will protect your hairfrom things that could damage it likecurling irons, blow dryers, styling heatand environmental damage. Because ofthe unique application bonding system,the extensions can be easily removed.This is different than many hair exten-sion methods that bond too tightly toyour hair. Those old methods can lead tohair breakage when being removed.Judy’s hair extensions are joined to yournatural hair by using a safe, all-natural,keratin protein bond application system.We can match your existing color too!• Are hair extensions uncomfortable?

Judy’s extensions are applied to yourhair with a very small bond of naturalkeritin protein. Most people don’t noticea difference between the hair extensionsand their own natural hair.

Judy is fully trained on how to edu-cate her clients to professionally takecare of their hair extensions at home.Judy will recommend hair care products,brushes, combs and appliances for use athome. Hairstyling is very similar to howyou style your hair without extensions.Contact Judy in La Jolla today foranswers to any more of your hair exten-sions questions. hairextensionsoflajol-la.com

Editor’s note: Bird Huffman,owner of Bird’s Surf Shed, is teamingup with La Jolla Today for a regularsurfing column to feature trends,products, locations and everythingelse related to surfing in San Diego.Check back regularly for more bits ofwisdom from this local surfing icon.

Hi all! This is Bird from Bird’sSurf Shed. Look for updates on allthings surf in issues of this publi-cation. I plan to touch on a widevariety of surf subjects rangingfrom extended surf reports and thelatest in surf gear and technologyto shaper interviews and some surfgossip. I’ll be glad to answer yourquestions if I can so feel free tosound off.

Thanks for coming along for the

ride.Let’s talk about the general state

of surfing in California right now. In the near 50 years that I have

been in the water, I have neverseen a more creative and excitingtime in surfing. No, the watersaren’t as clean as they used to beand yes, it’s more crowded thenever, but there are more accept-able waves to ride than there everhave been in the past.

At any given time at almost allbreaks, you see a wide variety ofpeople riding waves on all sorts ofequipment. Some ride a tradition-al surfboard or boogie board, whileothers body surf or ride a Paipotype of board. Hand planes and

surf mats are out in the lineup,and let’s not forget about thestand-up paddle surfers. To me, itmakes no difference on what youride, it’s still SURFING.

That being said, we must allshare the waves and show respectfor one another. Nobody likes awave hog — no matter what youride — so give a wave away hereand there and show some restrainton your wave count, even if youhave the largest surf craft in thewater.

If you’re a beginner or new toan area, wait out the crowds orhead to areas that are more user

friendly until you get up to speedwith local crowds and areas.

The bottom line is we are all outin the water to have fun, so let’sconcentrate on that. Ride whatyou want, how you want — andlet others do the same.

Questions or comments aboutsurfing for Bird? Send them toljvn@sdnews.com. He’ll answer asmany as he can, in print or byemail.

Where else can you go to a for-mal gala and see huge diamondsstrewn casually about the dinnertables? Guests at the Arc of SanDiego’s 2013 Jewels of San Diegogala had that experience. Therecent event, held at the US GrantHotel, was subtitled “All That Jazz.”The hippest guests donned 1920s-style attire for the black-tie affair,and many models and entertainerswore flashy costumes of the era.Attractive flappers and showgirlsposed seductively, complementingthe party’s Great Gatsby theme.

The fundraiser honored the Jew-els of San Diego — people whoseleadership and philanthropic con-tributions raise much-needed fundsto continue the Arc of San Diego’simportant work, serving more than2,500 children and adults with dis-abilities. The largest, most compre-hensive provider of such services

in the county, its mission is to sup-port and empower people with dis-abilities to achieve their life’s goals.Established in 1992, the nonprofitorganization now has a network of22 locations, providing a widerange of services to improve thequality of life of its clients.

Guests enjoyed a cocktail recep-tion and silent auction before head-ing into the ballroom for dinnerand finding diamonds all over thetables. The absence of securityguards should have been a tip-off— people finally realized the gem-stones were really just clever fakes.But the Jewels of San Diego beinghonored that night, announced byPam Slater-Price, were absolutely

Prudential California Realty has

awarded one of its best performing

agents and one of its top teams in La

Jolla for their achievements in sales.

Karen Hickman and the Tash Team

of Betty Toroyan and Barry

Tashakorian were recognized

nationally by Prudential Real Estate

for their contributions to the La Jolla

real estate community.

“Karen and the Tash Team contin-

ue to raise the bar for agents in the

La Jolla community, and among their

peers nationwide,” said David M.

Cabot, president and chief executive

officer at Prudential California Real-

ty. “These awards are a reflection of

our agents’ dedication and service

to their clients.”

Hickman, who currently has a

sales volume of more than $6 million

this year, was recognized for being

the No. 1 individual agent in sales vol-

ume in the La Jolla office in 2012.

Hickman’s sales production also

placed her in the top two for agents

across San Diego County. She has

been with Prudential’s La Jolla office

for more than 20 years and is a

member of the San Diego Associa-

tion of Realtors and the La Jolla Real

Estate Brokers Association.

Toroyan and Tashakorian were

added to the list of “Top 100 in San

Diego” for the first quarter of 2013.

The husband-and-wife team placed

seventh among the other Prudential

agents and 13th for their volume of

transactions — more than $21 million

— throughout those three months.

They have frequently ranked in the

top two percent of Prudential’s

agents nationwide.

REAL ESTATEBRIEFS >>

Whether you are sellingyour house on your ownas a “For Sale by Owner”

or you have listed your home witha great real-estate team, an openhouse can be an effective way toattract buyers. There are, however,a few considerations to thinkabout.

Within the real-estate industry,several reports published indicatethat only from between 1 percentto 2 percent of open-house eventsresult in a direct sale of that house— meaning the buyer offers a con-tract. Hardly sounds worth theeffort, does it? So why would any-one conduct an open house, otherthan to give away cookies to theneighbors?

One of the major reasons whythe percentage is so low has to dowith the emotional factors associ-ated with buying homes. Before

arriving at an openhouse, potential buyersassume they will be pres-sured by the agent orowner, who, they contin-

ue to assume, has undoubtedlybeen Ninja-trained with carefullyhoned selling techniques designedto hypnotize the buyer into buy-ing something they may not want.To protect and combat against thisexpectation, most potential buy-ers deploy a force field to repel allselling efforts, even at the risk thatyour house could be their perfectchoice.

Many buyers have a greaterinterest in a house suggested tothem by their real-estate agent orone referred to them by a friend orrelative.

Plain and simple, the primaryobjective of holding an open houseis to expose your property to asmany people as possible — and todo so effectively, you have to workhard at it. It does not so much mat-ter whether your visitors arepotential buyers. Remember, you

are networking and your goal is toimpress someone who knows ofsomeone searching for a newhouse. (Be sure to invite the neigh-bors — even those you hate.)

Most people mistakenly thinkopen houses are easy — not so! Ifyou think that, then try to shadowa real-estate agent. You shouldhave from between 15 to 20 openhouse signs placed at all of themajor highways and road inter-sections to direct traffic, sometimesas far away as five miles.

So you probably thought all youneeded to do is to set out yoursigns, sit on your couch watchingtelevision and magically yourhouse gets sold? Good luck withthat! There is much planning andpreparation that takes place wellbefore placing signs and bakingthose delicious processed cookies.The details are extensive and thereis not sufficient space here to coverall. Just know that it is imperativeto present your house in a “WOW”mode. Boring turns people away— by stopwatch they will come in,

look around and leavewithin a minute and a half.“WOW” factor retains theattention of prospects andslows people down so theywant to engage. Engagingallows an exchange of infor-mation and may motivatethe buyer to visualize the benefitsof your home to them. If yourhouse does not have a “wow” fac-tor, tape your college diploma tothe toilet seat — just do anythingto connect with your visitors andget in conversation mode, ratherthan selling mode. Real estate is abuying decision, not a selling deci-sion.

Now this is important: beforejumping to conduct an openhouse, be sure to think of theunthinkable. Protect your valu-ables. You cannot predict who willbe coming through your house,and unfortunately, there are a lotof bad people out there, so assumeyou may have discourteous andclueless people bringing alongtheir children, dogs, reptiles and

whatever. Be sure toremove anything eas-ily broken or stolen,avoid trip hazards,

have adequate insurance andremove or secure any jewelry andother shiny objects, prescriptionmedications, guns, antiques andcar keys. Also be on guard for largegroups of people: this may be asetup for one person to distract youwhile others seek opportunities.

of the event comes during the lumi-naria ceremony, for which luminarias— which participants are urged to dec-orate throughout the day — are set upalong the track and all participantstake a lap in silence. Photos or quoteshonoring individuals who have foughtcancer are shown.

“It gets quite emotional,” Meronoffsaid.

Meronoff, a La Jolla High Schoolgraduate and a financial advisor forEdward Jones in La Jolla, has beeninvolved with Relay for Life events forseveral years, since losing his cousin tocancer.

“Cancer has really rocked my fami-ly,” he said. “My brother and I startedgetting involved and we found that wereally had good time.”

At one point, Meronoff and hisbrother both served on the event’sdowntown San Diego committee. Nowthat the event has become the biggestone in the region, he has committedhimself to helping grow La Jolla’s ver-sion. His immediate goal is to simply“get people to the event, walk a couplelaps and see what it’s all about.”

“We want to get more survivorsthere, too,” he said. “The more sur-vivors that come, the more inspira-tional an event it will be. The wholepoint is to inspire hope in everyone.”

Meronoff encouraged even thosewho haven’t been affected by the dis-

ease to check out the event.“Chances are if you haven’t been

affected by cancer, at some point youwill, as much as I hate to say that,” hesaid. “But the great news is there’ssome very smart people out there, andthere are some great organizationssraising lots of money to pay forresearch, and scientists are makingsome impressive findings.”

Following the night spent walkingthe track and camping out at the highschool, participants will regroup for aFight Back ceremony at 9 a.m. on Sun-day, during which they will pledge tocontinue to promote the cause andeducate others on how they can con-tribute.

“It’s just a great community event,where people are able to share theirstories, survivors can come togetherand we can show those who are cur-rently fighting cancer that there’s hopeout there,” Meronoff said. “When youhave a track with 50-100 survivorswalking that first lap, it’s so inspiring.”

Participants can register for theevent in teams or as individuals atrelayforlife.org/lajollaca or at La JollaHigh School on the day of the event.Meronoff said he’s still searching forvolunteers to help with the event. Formore information, email lajollarelayjamie@gmail.com or tiffany.lynch@cancer.org.

For those who wish to have a photoor quote in honor of someone who hasfought cancer shown during the lumi-naria ceremony, email lajollarelay.luminaria@gmail.com.

RELAY >> CONT. FROM PG. 1

One of my friendsrecently told me shefelt she was always

searching for something, butdidn’t know exactly what shewas looking for. She doesn’thave a mission in life, she said,like a passion to paint or write.She has a job she likes, but itdoes not enthrall her. She ishappily married but worries ifthere is something extraordi-nary out there that she’s miss-ing.

Her question made me won-der whether it is a disservice tolead people to expect a “life pas-sion” or a “life mission” as nec-essary for fulfillment.

Is it necessary to have a pas-sion to be satisfied with one’slife? Yes, it is wonderful to havea great talent for painting, writ-ing or music or working in sci-entific discoveries, making a dif-

ference in the lives of childrenor the lives of patients in a hos-pital or being innovative intechnology, but these do nothave to be all-consuming.These and other endeavors canbe fulfilling but only one partof one’s life, with satisfactionalso found in family and leisureactivities.

After my husband died, I wasso bereft that I felt my life hadlost all meaning. A psychologistfriend of mine said, “Meaning isoverrated.” It helped me to putmy life into perspective. And soit is with passions and missions.They are unnecessary in mostpeople’s lives. Yes, it would benice to dedicate ourselves to thebetterment of mankind — buthow many of us have opportu-nities to do that?

Is it possible to expect toomuch of oneself, to romanticizepassion and mission? Can oneof life’s goals be somethingtotally different, like trying tohave integrity in all of one’sdealings, to be honest in com-munications, to do the best onecan in making others’ lives a lit-tle easier, to be compassionate— in other words to be contentwith being a good person? Con-tent with one’s work, with one’s

family life?Some people do have an all-

encompassing need to be cre-ative; the great artists of theworld sacrificed everything fortheir art. Other people are truemissionaries and spend theirlives in the service of others.

And then there are the restof us who muddle along won-dering what is missing when wedon’t feel the urge to do greatdeeds or lack the opportunityto be heroic. There is a need totranscend oneself, to be part ofsomething larger, to serve somegreater cause. Many of us haveknown the exhilarating feelingof sharing something momen-tous with one’s neighbors andcommunity. When people battlefloods together or unite as acommunity to raise a barn orrenovate a park, they experi-ence a high from working hardtoward a mutual goal. We feeljoy and camaraderie celebrat-ing the success of sports teamswe support and spill out intothe streets with our neighborswhen they win a champi-onship. But these events occurinfrequently, and so we must

make the best of just dealingwith our daily lives.

I, too, am often torn betweenfeeling, on the one hand, that Ishould do more volunteer workand be more active in my com-munity, and on the other hand,thinking that at 86 I can allowmyself to read more, see friendsand smell the flowers. So maybeit is also OK to not have a pas-sion or a mission but just do thebest we can every day.

Perhaps being oneself, beingthere for family and friends, is

really not only good enough, butactually quite wonderful. One ofmy goals is to never let a day goby that I don’t have some posi-tive interaction with someone.It can be a kind word to a check-out clerk at the supermarket or awarm “Hello, how are you?” tothe deliveryman. I believe thesesmall acts of caring may make adifference to the person in themoment and may even carry onfurther in the way he or sheinteracts with the next person.They say a butterfly flapping itswings in Africa has an impacton the air currents half a worldaway, and so it is with every lit-tle thing we do.

real. The honorary chairs includedPhyllis and John Parrish, JeanneJones and Don Breitenberg, JoyeBlount and Jessie Knight, Lee andFrank Goldberg, Sandy Redmanand Jeff Mueller, Denise andBertrand Hug, Sally B. and John M.Thornton, and Emma and LeoZuckerman.

A short video illustrated the Arc’swork. A five-item live auction fea-tured an adorable maltipoo puppy,which the winning bidder, RaminPourteymour, will name Gatsby. Apaddle-raise brought in thousandsbefore dinner, which featured anexceptionally delicious baseball-cutfilet of beef with a rich red sauce,and “chocolate majesty” fordessert. Wayne Foster’s group pro-vided stellar entertainmentthroughout the evening.

***A superb musical performance

was also the centerpiece of MainlyMozart’s latest soiree. Chaired by JoAnn Kilty, its venue — RanchoSanta Fe’s Village Church — waschosen for its magnificent architec-ture and acoustics. A pre-concertreception featured wines, tastysnacks and a silent auction; VIPpatrons enjoyed a special selectionof heavy hors d’oeuvres created byMM’s talented official caterer, RonMcMillan.

The concert began, perhaps

unsurprisingly, with works byMozart. The performance qualitywas astounding — also unsurpris-ing, because MM is noted for unsur-passed dedication to quality.Accordingly, the musicians areamong the very best — incredibly,the roster of MM’s festival artistsincludes no less than 10 concert-masters and 17 principal musi-cians from noted orchestras acrossNorth America.

Dessert buffets and champagneawaited at intermission, as well as asurprise. Adam, Ian and Sophie dela Houssaye, very young violinistsfrom the San Diego Young ArtistsSymphony (now merged withMM), delighted the guests with abrief but charming recital.

The concert’s second half pre-sented Beethoven’s SymphonyNo. 1 in C. Another stunning per-formance, it resulted in an enthusi-astic standing ovation and a cur-tain call. Afterward, several of thefestival artists joined the VIPpatrons for a celebratory port,cheese and chocolate reception.Conversations with the musiciansrevealed that they sincerely appre-ciated the opportunity to meet andperform with other top-level artists.They loved the fact there weren’tany weak links among the players.Musically, they’re all at the top oftheir game, so it was like a masters’group. Audiences find it a pleasureand a privilege to hear such anassemblage perform. And MMmakes it possible for us all.
