By Pat Sherman It has been a year since La Jollans learned that the Wall Street post office was among more than 4,000 properties the financially beleaguered U.S. Postal Service (USPS) intends to sell, in SAVE THE an effort to slash operating POST OFFICE expenses and generate revenue. It has also been a year since a UPDATE group of historic preservationists and other La Jolla professionals sprang into action to help save the 1935 post office building from being sold and its services relocated to a smaller leased space within the Village. Though USPS initially suggested that the sale would SEE POST OFFICE, A10

Housing Homeowners on the brink of losing their homes gained stronger protections, with state legislators banning banks from practicing “dual tracking” — renegotiating mortgage payments with struggling homeowners while simultaneously pursuing foreclosure against the homeowner.
Online Privacy California is making it illegal for employers to demand access to employees’ social media accounts. Gov. Brown said the legislation would protect residents from “unwarranted invasions.” Gay Rights Gov. Brown outlawed gay conversion therapy practices on minors — efforts by therapists to convert minors’ sexual orientation. However, the law has been delayed pending a federal appeals trial.

Education To ease the often overwhelming costs of higher education, select popular college textbooks are set to become available as free online downloads. More than 50 common textbooks for University of California, California State University and California Community College students should be posted in an online database by the start of the 2013-2014 school year.
Immigration Young undocumented Californians will be eligible for driver’s licenses beginning next year if they qualify for a new federal work program. Gov. Brown’s signing of the law followed in the steps of President Obama’s decision to stop deporting young undocumented immigrants if they meet certain requirements, including if they are 30 years old or younger and came to the United States by the age of 16. Health For parents who decide not to have their children vaccinated, they’ll need a signed waiver from a doctor verifying that they were warned of risks and benefits associated with opting out of vaccinations

Party Buses California will hold party bus operators to the same standards as limousine drivers, making them legally responsible for drinking by underage passengers. The law is named for Brett Studebaker, a 19-year-old from San Mateo who died in 2010 after drinking on a party bus and crashing his own vehicle while driving home later. Prisons Juveniles sentenced to lifetime prison stints in California have a chance of release after serving 25 years if they show remorse and spend time in rehabilitation programs. Supporters of the bill argued that the United States is the only country in the world that sentences teenagers to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

AMC La Jolla upgrades seating, concessions for New Year By Ashley Mackin La Jolla’s AMC Theater is getting an upgrade, with renovations already in the works. Hoping to make the theater more “upscale,” manager Jesse Dancy-Weathers said some of the improvements include replacing all seats with leather recliners, a new concession area and installing new digital projectors. “We’re excited about these changes and we think guests in the San Diego area are going to love the new movie-going experience,” said Ryan Noonan, AMC’s director of public relations. Dancy-Weathers said the La Jolla
AMC, located within the La Jolla Village Square at 8657 Villa La Jolla, Suite 129, is one of the oldest theaters in San Diego, and the renovations have been planned for a while. “(Now) just seemed the right time to do it. Especially with the movie industry moving in this direction,” he said, referencing movie theaters becoming more luxurious. One of the luxuries to the 12-screen theater will be a Coke Freestyle machine in the lobby, which allows patrons to customize their Coca-Cola beverages with flavors and sugar levels. The lobby will also be given a more upscale look.
Junior League to hold charity fundraiser at Prospect Bar & Grill The Junior League of San Diego will host “Clean Your Slate for the New Year,” a charity cocktail event, 7-10 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17, at Prospect Bar & Grill, 1025 Prospect St. The event is open to those over age 21. Chargers broadcaster Hank Bauer will emcee the party. Proceeds will benefit Friends of Scott Foundation to support children with cancer and their families. There will be live music and entertainment, signature Champagne cocktails, and an 8:30 p.m. raffle of donated items. Tickets are $20 and VIP tickets are $35 online at www.jlsd.org. VIP tickets include entry to the event, plus gift bags and two complimentary raffle tickets. Tickets at the door will be $25.
Additionally, the seats will be replaced with leather recliners one screening room at a time, so there will be little disruption in screenings, Dancy-Weathers said. Prior to and during the first round of renovations, the same leather chairs being installed inside were placed outside the theater to give patrons a preview of what to expect when the renovations are complete. The renovations are happening to AMC theaters nation-wide and the La Jolla renovations began Jan. 1. The entire renovation should be complete in the next few months. This comes on the heels of the November 2012 opening of the ArcLight Cinema; a luxury theater located less than two miles from the AMC, which also has amenities such as leather seats and an upscale lobby. However, Dancy-Weathers said the AMC renovations are unrelated and that the ArcLight has had little impact on AMC Theater’s attendance. He explained the two theaters don’t share film titles, so the movies showing at one theater would not show at the other. “We’ve still been able to keep high numbers,” he said. The other nearby cineplex, the Landmark Theater, shares only a few titles (two titles the week of

Landmark did not return calls by deadline as to whether the upgraded theaters have impacted their numbers or whether they plan to alter the facility. Unlike some other luxury theaters, AMC does not currently serve alcohol, though Dancy-Weathers said that
might be a possibility in the future. Also unique to AMC is the AMC Stubs club, a membership club that offer patrons free upgrades at concessions, waived online ticket fees and a $10 reward for every $100 spent. The Stubs club is $12 a year. For movie listings, times, tickets and to see trailers, visit amctheatres.com/movie-theatres/ amc-la-jolla-12

Torrey Pines, UC San Diego projects receive landscape architecture design awards By Pat Sherman Two projects in north La Jolla were honored last month by the San Diego chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), as part of the group’s 2012 design awards. ASLA recognized landscape architect Laura Burnett and the firm of Wallace, Roberts & Todd in the category of Planning and Analysis for the long-proposed Torrey Pines City Park General Development Plan. The conceptual master plan for the park’s design calls for replacing the existing, rainrutted dirt parking area north of Torrey Pines Gliderport with clearly marked spaces. A layer of gravel, soil and clay will first be added to smooth the lot, which will be covered by permeable, asphalt-like pavement that allows stormwater to run through it. The vast amount of stormwater running toward the bluff from the UC San Diego campus will be filtered by the underlying layer of soil and gravel, and then channeled to native coastal vegetation that will be planted on the bluff and throughout the park. Most important, Burnett said, the vegetation will help hold the soil in place, preventing further erosion. According to geotechnical consultants, the bluff could be losing as much as a foot per year from wind and rain, in addition to erosion caused by vehicle traffic, she said. “Nothing is better than native plant materials to keep that soil from washing and blowing away,” Burnett said. “The roots of the living plant material holds the soil in place.” The plan will retain the same amount of parking, though spaces will be delineated and organized in a way that allows for replacement of native vegetation, while maximizing parking and existing trails. “You gain a huge amount of area for habitat restoration just by putting things in an orderly manner,” Burnett said. “It’s a really simple, sort of obvious design.” The city’s Park and Recreation Board approved the plans last summer. An environmental report on the project was finalized last fall and received no appeals by a Dec. 27 deadline. However, the city must now locate an estimated $12 million to $15 million to

fund the project, Burnett said. “A sizeable donation could really make a huge difference,” Burnett said. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for city leaders, as well as community investors, to have a significant presence. … It seems like a great opportunity for any of those biotech firms (in the area).” Established in 1899, the 57-acre Torrey Pines City Park (adjacent Salk Institute) is on the national Register of Historic Places for its contributions to the development of windpowered flight. President’s Award The Charles David Keeling Apartments, which opened in fall 2011 at UCSD’s Revelle College, received ASLA’s highest honor, the President’s Award. The project is named for the late Scripps Institution of Oceanography professor who created the Keeling Curve, which measures the progressive buildup of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Designed by Spurlock Poirier Landscape Architects, the environmentally friendly housing project achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design platinum certification — the UC system’s first such designation for a residential project. This 158,000-square-foot, 500-bed dorm was recognized by ASLA as establishing a precedent for sustainability and stormwater management. The project’s vegetated roof captures stormwater, and is used as a pedestrian walkway between several of its towers. The dorms include a dual pipe system, which allows shower and sink water to flow to an on-site reclamation facility, where it is filtered for reuse in the facility’s irrigation systems and toilets. “We have zero water demand for any irrigation on site,” said Martin Poirier, the project’s principal landscape architect. “UCSD challenged us to experiment with the campus, to use the campus as a research tool. We took it to heart, so you’re seeing really cutting edge techniques as far as stormwater capture.” For more information about ASLA, visit asla-sandiego.org

LA JOLLA LIGHT - january 10, 2013 - Page A7
Whistle-blower to tell corporate tale at La Jolla luncheon The 2009 movie “The Informant!,” starring Matt Damon, is based on the real-life story of Mark Whitacre, the 1990s whistle-blower in the infamous Archer Daniels Midland price-fixing conspiracy. Whitacre, the FBI’s key informant in the case, has bipolar disorder and will discuss his life journey as a guest of the International Bipolar Foundation at a luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 24 at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel. Whitacre, an Ivy League, Ph.D. and the highest-ranked executive of any Fortune 500 company to become a whistle-blower in U.S. history, currently holds the position of chief operating officer and president of operations at Cypress Systems, Inc.
Drawing from his unique history, he will provide insight into corporate ethics, corporate greed and the warning signs of a flawed corporate leadership. After simultaneously completing B.S. and M.S. degrees at Ohio State University, Whitacre earned his Ph.D. at Cornell University in Nutritional Biochemistry. He worked for multiple Fortune 500 companies, including Ralston Purina, Degussa (Evonik), and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). He was hired at ADM when he was 32, and as the president of the BioProducts Division from its launch, was the youngest divisional president in the history of the company. In just six years, its fermentation complex became one of the largest in the world. At
age 35, he became a corporate vice president of ADM and was the leading candidate to become the next company president. His more than two decades of top management experience, as well as his experience with the ADM price-fixing scandal and the FBI, give him a unique, seasoned perspective on leadership in the corporate world. RSVP for lunch tickets, $65, by Jan. 15 to Ashley Jacobs at (858) 764-2496 or e-mail areitzin@ internationalbipolarfoundation.org Checks can be made payable to International Bipolar Foundation and mailed to 8895 Towne Centre Drive, Suite 105-360, San Diego, CA 92122.

FROM NEW LAWS, A1 Gun Rights A new bill outlaws openly carrying shotguns and rifles on the streets and in the malls of California cities. A similar law last year banned the open carrying of handguns. The new bill does not apply to hunters, law enforcement personnel and others with specified licenses. Child Abuse Reporting California coaches and administrators in K-12 schools, as well as higher education employees who have regular contact with children, will be required to report suspected child sexual abuse. Broken Parking Meters SB 1388 allows motorists to park at broken meters (up to the posted time limit) without fear of getting a ticket unless the local jurisdiction provides visible and adequate notice of any prohibitions at parking locations. Electronic Devices AB 1536 clarifies existing law by allowing drivers to dictate, send or listen to
text-based communications while driving as long as they do so using technology specifically designed and configured to allow fully voice-operated, hands-free operation. Drivers under age 18 are still prohibited from using any electronic device while driving. License Plates AB 2489 prohibits a person from operating a vehicle with a product or device that obscures — or is intended to obscure — the reading or recognition of a license plate by sight or use of an electronic device (like a toll or red-light camera). The new law also prohibits a person from erasing, painting over or altering a license plate to avoid visual or electronic capture of the license plate or its characters. Express Lanes AB 2405 exempts vehicles with special state-issued green and white stickers (all electric, natural gas and “plug-in” hybrid cars) from toll charges that single-occupant vehicles pay to access express or HOT (high occupancy toll) lanes. —This article was compiled from wire services and online sources.

‘Iron Chef’-type contest, other food events coming to La Jolla By Ashley Mackin January is shaping up to be the month of food in La Jolla. Between an “Iron Chef” competition, the premiere of the “Dishcrawl,” and San Diego Restaurant Week, there is much to taste around town. La Jolla’s Harvard Cookin’ Girl school will host an “Iron Chef” competition 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 7441 Girard Ave. It will pit Marko Dedic, maitre d’ at Rancho Santa Fe’s Mille Fleurs against Renata Meretskaya, blogger of “Tasteology: Not Your Average Food Blog.” The event is sold out. The competition will not be like the show on the Food Network, but uses the term “Iron Chef” as a mark of respect. There is no mystery ingredient, but the dishes will be a surprise to the diners. Harvard Cookin’ Girl owner and event organizer Bibi Kasrai said the chefs will have 45 minutes to make an appetizer and 45 minutes for an entrée, which will be tasted head to head. The presentation is just as important as the food. “They have to be able to entertain, they have to be able to cook and they have to be able to (maintain) an audience,” she said. So through Facebook and her newsletter, Kasrai put a call out to the community for those who meet the criteria. Finding several that worked, she matched Dedic and Meretskaya up for the competition. Dedic said he has “no doubt” that he will win with his dish because of his passion for food and love of competition. With neither himself nor Meretskaya being trained chefs, he said he can’t wait for the opportunity to

FROM POST OFFICE, A1 occur sometime last summer, the task force’s yearlong efforts — including rallies, community surveys, letter writing campaigns and correspondence with elected officials and postal service personnel, has thus far prevented the property from being sold or posted on a website listing postal service properties for sale (USPSpropertiesforsale.com). Last week, USPS Regional Property Manager Diana Alvarado confirmed via e-mail that the building is not on the market and USPS has received no offers on it. Alvarado said USPS is currently initiating the Section 106 process on the building. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies such as USPS to consider the effect of a sale or other actions on historic properties. Though Alvarado said she did not know when the Section 106 will be complete, she said USPS is working to define “covenants and restrictions that would be placed on the building should the building be put on the market for sale.” Though the property does not yet have a federal or local historic designation — something task force members are working toward — key aesthetic elements, such as the building façade and a WPA-era mural on the interior wall by artist Belle Baranceanu could be deemed worthy of preservation under the Section 106 process (ideally preventing demolition and redevelopment). Task Force member and La Jolla attorney Steve Milgrom is drafting language for covenants the task force would like to see
Save Our Post Office task force members held their first meeting of the year Jan. 4 to discuss their efforts moving forward. FILE attached to any sale of the building. The task force plans to submit the document to USPS real estate attorneys this month, after consultation with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and other agencies. Task force members held their first meeting of the year Jan. 4 to discuss their efforts moving forward. According to task force chair Leslie Davis, the strategy for 2013 is to “stay focused, stay engaged, remain optimistic, study the regulations and hold USPS accountable to them.” The task force will continue its efforts to
build allies at the state and federal level, she said. Working with Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-53rd, no relation to Leslie Davis), the task force was successful last year in getting the congresswoman to author legislation that would give a La Jolla nonprofit group, such as the La Jolla Historical Society, first dibs on purchasing the post office, should it be listed for sale. However, the legislation (HR 6238), which was co-sponsored by Bob Filner in his final year as a congressman, “is now ‘dead’ after
the election and redistricting,” Leslie Davis said, adding, “We are seeking to have the legislation brought back via one of our new representatives.” The task force hopes La Jolla resident and newly elected Congressmember Scott Peters (D-52nd) will become that key ally in this year’s preservation efforts. Peters recently told the La Jolla Light that saving the Wall Street post office is his primary goal for La Jolla this year. “I hope that if the building is sold, the post office might lease back the existing stamp sales and shipping area to preserve that longstanding and historic use in the Village,” Peters said. “As a La Jollan and as a member of our historical society, I can be an effective advocate on our behalf.” Peters said if Susan Davis’s legislation needs to be reintroduced, he could “possibly” do that, though his first step is sitting down with the task force. “I guess I’m really at the first steps of this,” Peter said. “I’m going to start to investigate it and find out who we need to talk to.” The task force has scheduled a meeting with Peters this month to discuss its “Plan A,” keeping postal services in tact at its current site. Leslie Davis said the task force hopes to schedule similar meetings with elected officials such as Congressman Juan Vargas (D-51st) and San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who expressed his support for saving the post office while campaigning in La Jolla last year. The task force will also continue efforts to get the 78-year-old post office listed on the

FROM POST OFFICE, A10 National Register of Historic Places. “This designation would offer another layer of protection for the preservation of the building,” Davis said. USPS Preservation Officer Dallan Wordekemper, while saying the building is eligible for designation, stops short of recommending the building to the “keeper” of the registrar, Davis said. “We have been unable to get any meaningful information on our (federal) nomination,” Davis said. “Furthermore, the city is not clear whether it would be able to designate the building historic without the approval of the USPS in it’s quasigovernmental status. National designation is critical in protecting this local landmark.” Davis said the task force is also asking U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), to help get answers regarding the Section 106 process, which in November was deemed incomplete and insufficient per the President’s Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP). “Feinstein’s office is keen to assist in some way,” Davis said, “so we are hoping they will be effective in getting answers on the topic. As long as Section 106 process is still in progress, a sale can not be completed.” Plans B and C Should the 15,480-square-foot post office be sold, task force members are preparing to employ “Plan B,” in which a nonprofit community group purchases the building and leases back some 6,000 square feet to USPS to maintain services at the site, which USPS argues is too large for current operations.
Davis said she also hopes Feinstein’s office will help the task force procure a face-to-face meeting with Congressman Darrell Issa (R-49th), who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has legislative jurisdiction over the U.S. Postal Service. “His committee on postal reform holds the key to our ability to get an initial option to purchase (the post office) prior to putting the building up for sale, as well as ensuring the lease back,” Davis said. “Additional information regarding the economic contribution of the La Jolla post office would assist in influencing Issa and his committee. Increasing our number of completed merchant surveys will be important in this endeavor.” Asked if USPS is open to giving a La Jolla nonprofit the first option to buy the post office, USPS’s Alvarado only said “the postal service is required to go through a competitive bidding process rather than go direct to a private group, whether for-profit or non-profit.” The task force’s “Plan C” remains to work with a sympathetic buyer “familiar with the community’s desires” to purchase the building and lease space back to USPS for operations. “Some potential buyers are known and many more have quietly investigated the building and site,” Davis said, “but should the building be officially put up for sale by CB Richard Ellis (See story at right), the realtor under contract with USPS, it’s likely the building would simply go to the highest bidder, who may or may not be from La Jolla and sympathetic to the community.”

Berkeley preservationists question senator’s ties to post office sales By Pat Sherman As people throughout the country continue efforts to prevent the postal services’ planned sale of more than 4,000 post offices, some Berkeley residents who have reached out to U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to help save their historic post office are questioning the senator’s willingness to assist, given her husband’s role in the sales. In July 2012, the United States Postal Service (USPS) awarded CB Richard Ellis Group (CBRE) the exclusive contract to broker the sale of its properties and manage lease negotiations for postal operations that will relocate to smaller facilities. Feinstein’s husband, financer and UC Regent Richard Blum, serves as chairman of the board of CBRE, the world’s largest commercial real estate services firm. Members of the group Citizens to Save the Berkeley Post Office question whether Feinstein stands to benefit from the sale of the properties — including La Jolla’s post office building at 1140 Wall St. — via her husband’s role with CBRE. Despite USPS’s announcement one year ago that it planned to put the Wall Street building up for sale within a six-month period, it has not yet been listed for sale with some 70 other postal facilities on the CBRE website. USPS has historically contracted with
U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein
Richard Blum, Feinstein’s husband
multiple real estate companies for sales and leasing, though in a July 20 release it said the exclusive contract with CBRE “enables USPS to consolidate these activities with one service provider.” Members of the Berkeley group point to previous potential conflicts of interest involving Feinstein and her husband. The most relevant occurred in 2009, when Feinstein introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), a government agency that had just given CBRE what the Washington Times referred to as “a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.” In April 2009, Washington Times reporter Chuck Neubauer wrote: “Mrs. Feinstein’s

Chemical-free: That’s what it’s about at Naturale Beauty Bar By Marti Gacioch As San Diego’s first all-organic and natural blow-dry salon, the Naturale Beauty Bar in La Jolla is boldly saying “No!” to using hair products with harsh chemicals. Refusing to damage clients’ hair with such supplies, the Naturale Beauty Bar specializes in using Moroccanoil products, including Moroccanoil Shampoo, Moroccanoil Conditioner, Moroccanoil Mousse and Moroccanoil Treatment, to safely and beautifully style hair. Moroccanoil formulas are infused with antioxidants and rich in nutrients. The products are sulfatefree, paraben-free and phosphatefree, according to proprietors. “People come to us and instead of using chemicals, we use allnatural products to straighten or curl hair,” said receptionist Brittany Evert. “We blow dry hair straight or blow dry it curly, and it takes about 45 minutes and lasts anywhere from 2-5 days.” Owned by Marla and Peter Ariza, the Naturale Beauty Bar opened in

Remodeling projects net Marrokal two design and contractor awards From Marrokal Reports
The San Diego Chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) announced its 2013 Contractor of the Year Awards (CotY) this month. Marrokal Design & Remodeling received two awards — one for Entire House Remodel over $1 million, and the other for Entire House Remodel for projects ranging from $500,000 to $1 million. Remodeling has been gaining favor among homeowners who want to stay put in a soft real estate market. Despite the now-increasing housing prices, many are still finding their home can become their dream home with a remodel. Homeowners are expected to increase spending on remodeling, boosting figures to double-digit growth in the first half of 2013. According to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA), homeowners’ expected spending would lead to an annual rate increase of $115.1 billion to $134.2 billion. San Diego is a hotbed for remodelers, but choosing the best contractor has eluded some homeowners. That’s why the NARI has national, regional, and local awards for its members, to

This is a testament to the quality, value, and trusted work we do each day on every single remodeling project for our clients,” said Gary Marrokal, president of Marrokal Design & Remodeling. These regional awards fall on the heels of Marrokal receiving the Remodeler of The Year Award in 2011 from Professional Remodeler Magazine. This year, the company celebrates 30 years in San Diego, another sign that this design/ build firm is an award-winning company. The over-$1 million-remodel category found some interesting treasures, including the discovery of a world-class art collection of original Asian masterpieces that

were later displayed in gallery exhibitions and auctions. The owner’s mother was an Asian art collector. This “gift” money provided funding for a complete redesign of the home and site, creating the retirement home of their dreams. The $500,000 to $1 million-remodel award was for a custom home circa 1970. It was originally built for national tennis celebrity Bobby Riggs and located at a thennew golf course. The current homeowners had done only cosmetic changes and wanted an entire renovation while maintaining some original architecture and updating everything from systems, layout, structure, finishes, and interiors/exteriors to reflect a contemporary style.
Paying attention to San Diego’s water issues, drought-resistant landscape was designed for the entire land. Green building practices were used to better insulate the entire home. Careful consideration was used in the design plan for sun angles and prevailing breezes to create a tightbuilding structure using green material selections. To be considered for a CotY Award, a company must be a NARI member in good standing. NARI members represent an elite group of the approximately 800,000 companies and individuals in the U.S. identifying themselves as remodelers. Gary Marrokal started his company 30 years ago, working out of his home. His first project was building a chicken coop. Since then, the full-service, design/build firm has grown larger and better, boasting two locations including a design center in Kearny Mesa. The company services all of San Diego, offering whole-house remodels, kitchen, bath, and bedroom remodels, room additions and outdoor living space renovations for all budgets.

Volunteers needed to visit shut-ins This letter comes to thank every one in our community who made a contribution to Greater La Jolla Meals On Wheels in 2012. If you gave to San Diego’s meals program, we’re certain its beneficiaries appreciated your gift, as well. La Jolla Meals On Wheels has been serving The Jewel since 1974. We predate San Diego’s Meals On Wheels organization by 23 years. We do not receive government funding. Our support comes from donations by La Jolla’s citizens, businesses, service clubs and organizations. Our primary mission for all these years has been to bring nourishment to our neighbors, who for whatever reasons, are unable to get to the grocer or prepare their own meals. With an eye to the future, we’re ready to expand our purpose. Every one of our more than 150 homedelivery volunteers knows the value of a friendly visit with a shut-in. Our clients remind us that we’re the only people they see all day and we’re important to them. In that spirit, La Jolla Meals On Wheels announces its new companion program, La Jolla Friendly Visitors. La Jolla Friendly Visitors has been created to offer a weekly, 1- to 2-hour visit with seniors or anyone who is homebound. The visits will dispel feelings of loneliness and isolation, and replace them with hope and fun visits to anticipate. Now we can offer food AND friendship, which are key elements in sustaining the quality of life. We need you to make La Jolla Meals On Wheels and La Jolla Friendly Visitors successful. Please consider your continued financial support as well as becoming a volunteer participant. You can learn more about La Jolla Meals On Wheels and our soon-to-be-launched Friendly Visitors program at LaJollaMealsOnWheels.org or by calling the office at (858) 452-0391 Ron Jones President, Greater La Jolla Meals On Wheels
Mayor acted irresponsibly by extending the seal rope As you are aware, the saga of the Children’s Pool rope continues. On Dec. 21, 2012 (right before the holidays), our new Mayor Bob Filner unilaterally ordered that the Children’s Pool rope barrier be extended from the legally permitted 130 feet to approximately 152 feet. Apparently, this illegal order was intended to deter persons from accessing the beach in order to “send them a message that they can’t do this” as he promised on Dec. 15 when the rope went up. In order to send this message, the mayor found it necessary to break the law. Unfortunately, San Diego has had all too much experience with permit violations and they can be costly. Last time the city illegally put up a rope at the Children’s Pool, it cost the city almost $1 million. State laws and coastal issues are not only complicated but designed to protect the rights of the citizens of the state. There are significant penalties for violating a permit. As the city attorney said in his Dec. 24 memo on the subject, “Civil penalties for development in violation of the Coastal Act may be imposed in superior court in the amounts of not less than

$500 and not more than $30,000.” Additionally, the city may be liable for court costs and attorney fees if someone sues on the matter. As was the case last year when the original permit violation was noticed, as well as other cases including the Sunroad “too-tall” building etc., permit violations are no small thing and can cost the city greatly. It is shocking that our new mayor would intentionally and knowingly (with written warnings from the city attorney) violate the law. Flagrant violations are costly and the disappointing reality is that the taxpayers will once again be on the hook for the poor decisions of their elected leaders. With a lawsuit currently pending in Superior Court on this very subject, it is inconceivable why the mayor would intentionally break the law. Such actions can only be called irresponsible.

architect” heading in the Jan. 3 La Jolla Light article is misleading. I only fundraise for a few select political candidates and progressive causes dear to my heart; my contributions are limited to my time only; and, most importantly, I have not practiced architecture for decades. My firm, Christine Forester Catalyst, is a business management, marketing, branding and community affairs consulting company that serves a varied clientele, from start-ups to large corporations. With a grateful heart for the recognition of my contribution to our city and our country, it is an imperative to me that the information disseminated about me is accurate and current.

Police need to enforce local vagrancy laws
If there were a simple, cost-effective way to reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy and abortion in the United States, it would be shortsighted of us not to take advantage of that resource. That’s why I am delighted that our state will make it easier for women in California to access birth control. Assembly Bill 2348 takes effect in January, and allows registered nurses to dispense hormonal contraceptives (like the pill) under a standard protocol. This will affect women, especially in rural areas where they often have to travel great distances or wait to see a doctor to get birth control. Now nurses are able to provide hormonal birth control to patients. This is a tremendous breakthrough in women’s health and I applaud the Legislature for its movement forward. Leanne Hull La Jolla
The point, of course, of my letter in the Dec. 20 issue of the Light, was to highlight that homelessness in La Jolla is a problem. (It’s interesting to note that Cindy Peterson, who responded to it in the Dec. 27 issue, never acknowledges this.) Being proactive is the only way to address this burgeoning blight. A do-nothing attitude, which is essentially what Ms. Peterson advocates, will not solve the problem. Indeed, it will only encourage more and more people to come here. The vast majority of La Jollans (not to mention business owners) want to see fewer homeless people in town, but they feel frustrated by what can only be described as an absentee police force. As a result, we see more panhandling, more trash and more personal effects piling up on the streets. In short, we see urban decay. La Jollans are very proud of their town and wish to maintain the cleanliness and charm of it. Taxpayers gladly pay for shelters and missions, to which homeless people can and should go for help. In the meantime, though, we have every right to encourage these people to get off the streets and into the programs they so desperately need. Bernard Lockhardt La Jolla

FROM SENATOR, A11 intervention on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was unusual: the California Democrat isn’t a member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs with jurisdiction over FDIC; and the agency is supposed to operate from money it raises from bank-paid insurance payments — not direct federal dollars.” On Dec. 4, Citizens to Save the Berkeley Post Office led a march from Blum’s offices in San Francisco to that of Senator Feinstein, where they engaged briefly with a staff member about the proposed sale of the 1915 Berkeley post office. “Our committee felt that we needed to talk to Feinstein because … we want her to do something to save the post office — and to do something would be contrary to what her husband was doing,” said retired letter carrier and Berkeley post office preservationist David Welsh. “If there’s a conflict of interest, what’s wrong with Dianne Feinstein saying, ‘We have to stop the sale of the Berkeley Post Office’? She’s not joined at the hip with her husband.” Feinstein representative Brian Weiss told the La Jolla Light the senator has “no awareness” of her husband’s business dealings. “His business and her public life are completely separate,” he said. In a follow-up e-mail, Weiss said that “If there is an agreement” between CBRE and the USPS, “Senator Feinstein would not have
in La Jolla, Galinson and his wife, Elaine, lived for a while in downtown San Diego, though they soon returned to the Village they missed so much, occupying a home on Prospect Street. “He was a big booster of La Jolla (and) a huge supporter of UCSD,” Schenk said. “He would love to stroll down Prospect Street and down to the Cove. I joked one time he was walking with several men (that) it looked like his posse, because Murray was so tall.” Peterson, a former San Diego County Democratic Party chair, met Galinson in the 1970s, when they both were active in the campaigns of Democratic candidates. Galinson would go on to serve as manager of Walter Mondale’s presidential campaign in 1984. Peterson said politics was truly Galinson’s lifeblood. He was a close, personal friend of former President Bill Clinton, and a regular at Price Club founder Sol Price’s breakfasts at Harry’s Coffee Shop and lunches at the La Valencia Hotel’s Whaling Bar. There, the group engaged in lively discussions on politics and current events. “If you were a Democrat and you wanted to come to town and meet people, you called on Murray first, and
been involved in any way. Senator Feinstein is not involved with and does not discuss any of her husband’s business decisions with him. Her husband’s holdings are his separate personal property,” Weiss wrote. Weiss noted an amendment to the 21st Century Postal Act of 2012, which Feinstein authored last year. The amendment would have placed a moratorium on the closure of postal facilities until Nov. 13, 2012 in states that conduct elections by mail, such as California. That bill passed the Senate in April, before dying in the House. Weiss said “Feinstein’s San Diego office has a positive working relationship” with members of La Jolla’s post office task force, noting that they met once in June of last year. “Without a request from the task force, Senator Feinstein’s staff contacted the California State Preservation Office to check on the task force’s application to receive historic status,” Weiss said. “The State Preservation Office informed our office that the group had not filled out their paperwork correctly, at which point the Feinstein office called the task force to advise them of the error and worked with the group to resubmit their application. “Our San Diego office has had numerous conversations with the USPS to confirm that La Jolla will retain a Post Office within the Village no matter the outcome,” Weiss said. “We have been told that if a suitable replacement cannot be found in the Village, it will remain at its current location.”
Murray would arrange introductions and in some cases a little private dinner or lunch,” Peterson said. “His role would be to help with the financing end of a campaign, trying to get people to contribute.” Peterson said Galinson viewed the Democratic Party as “the party of compassion,” and was a “liberal in every sense of the word.” Nevertheless, when partisan tensions were palpable in a room, Galinson would be the one to reach across the aisle and build consensus. Schenk said that, like fellow Minnesotan and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey,
Galinson was the “happy warrior.” “He took issues seriously, he took people seriously, but he treated everyone with respect, no matter whether they agreed with him or they didn’t,” she said. “He accepted people for what they were.” Jack McGrory, a former city manager and Galinson’s most recent business partner at the financial planning and investment firm of La Jolla MJ Management, said Galinson’s peacemaking skills were particularly notable as one of the first chairs of San Diego’s Citizens Advisory Board on Police-Community Relations, which was formed
in the aftermath of a raciallycharged 1985 police shooting. Though police at the time opposed any sort of oversight, McGrory said Galinson “really established credibility for the board inside the police department,” making constructive suggestions to the city manager for changes within the police department, which McGrory said led to the formation of one of the nation’s first neighborhood policing programs. In recent years, Galinson vocally denounced the mounting political partisanship that has led to gridlock and acrimony at the local and national level.

Torrey Pines High School defeats the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers of Chatsworth 56-35 to win the Mayor’s Cup Division in the Holiday Classic on Dec. 29. Michael Ragovin
LA JOLLA LIGHT - january 10, 2013 - Page A17
72 high school basketball teams compete locally in Holiday Classic tournament By Michael Ragovin The 23rd annual Holiday Classic presented by Lucky Duck Foundation took place Dec. 26-29 with teams from across San Diego country participating by invitation only. Five different venues hosted the 72 teams. Each venue represented a different division: Torrey Pines High School-National Division, La Jolla Country Day High School-American Division, Rancho Bernado High School-Senator’s Cup Division, Carlsbad High School-Mayor’s Cup Division and Santa Fe Christian High School-Governor’s Cup Division. Each division was a tournament within the tournament crowning a separate champion, most valuable player, all tournament team, etc. Tournament director John Olgive said during his pre-tournament press conference that, ”For a young man who is able to play in a national game in front of a packed house, it’s a lifetime experience and memory.” Historically, many participants have gone on to careers in the NBA, such as Derrick Williams and Kyrie Irving, who were the No. 1 and 2 draft choices a couple of years ago. Chase Budinger from La Costa Canyon also was an NBA draftee. Olgive said the tournament is able to
attract high quality players and teams year after year because “this is San Diego and we have been doing this for 22 years. Our hospitality is second to none.” Many college coaches were in attendance to observe the highly sought-after athletes, including SDSU head basketball coach Steve Fisher, who was observing his two signees from Sheldon High School in Sacramento — D’erryl Williams and Dakari Allen. n Torrey Pines High School wins Mayor’s Cup Division Three of the division title games were played at Torrey Pines on Dec. 29, beginning with The Mayor’s Cup Division. This contest matched the Torrey Pines Falcons against Sierra Canyon Trailblazers of Chatsworth with Torrey Pines winning the championship 56-35. It began as a tightly-contested game with the score at the end of the first quarter Torrey Pines 9, Sierra Canyon 8. Torrey Pines started pulling away during the second half of the second quarter with the half ending Torrey Pines 26, Sierra Canyon 20. Torrey Pines tightened up its defense causing turnovers and a cold shooting spell to begin the third quarter and continued throughout the rest of the game. The Falcons outscored the
Trailblazers 30 to 15 in the second half. Sierra Canyon committed 19 personal fouls as compared to seven for Torrey Pines. The Falcons scored 11 points on free throws and Sierra Canyon missed both of theirs. This accounted for half of the point differential. Sam Worman of Torrey Pines led all scorers with 20 points and was the Mayor’s Cup Division Most Valuable Player. Dominic Hovasse chipped in with 17 points and Connor Milmoe was named to the all Mayor’s Cup Division tournament team for Torrey Pines. n Mission Hills High School wins American Division The second championship game was for the American Division title between the Mission Hills Grizzlies of San Marcos and the Mesa Jackrabbits of Mesa, Ariz. The Mission Hills Grizzlies prevailed 60-53. The game was fast paced from the beginning. Both teams had difficulty converting layup opportunities throughout the game and could not effectively get the ball down low to their big men. Mesa’s 6-foot-10 center Isaac Allen had only three, two-point field goals and made three of

seven free throws for a total 9 points. Mission Hills 7-foot center Kameron Rooks had only five two-point field goals and converted one of five free throw attempts adding up to 15 total points. The score at the end of the first quarter was Mission Hills 18, Mesa 16. Scoring dropped off in the second quarter with Mission Hills scoring only eight and Mesa totaling only 12. Mesa went into the final period ahead 43-38 as a result of some fine outside shooting and ball movement. Unfortunately for Mesa, their shooting cooled off and they managed to score only 10 points in the final quarter while Mission Hills scored 22. With 29 seconds left, C.J. Wilson stole a pass and converted the lay in to put Mission Hills ahead to stay. Kibret Woldemichel of Mission Hills scored 26 points and was named the Ameican Division Most Valuable Player. Kameron Rooks chipped 15 point for Mission Hills. D.J. Hendeson of Mesa scored 12 points and was named to the all tournament team as well.
Parent Volunteer Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, which seems to be reflected in our own community. In 2012, the La Jolla Lacrosse Club saw its numbers grow from 80 to more than 140 elementary and middle school players (grades 1-8). “We hope to see even more boys from around the area come try out this year and learn about this tremendously fast and fun sport,” said Katherine Walsh, president of La Jolla Lacrosse, who has three sons playing for the club. “Our experience is that kids who play other sports can excel quickly at lacrosse.” Board member Scot Steinwinder added, “La Jolla Lacrosse has been a great experience for my sons. What other sport requires the physicality of football, the eyehand coordination of baseball, field awareness of soccer, and the speed and footwork of basketball? It is definitely the sport that all-around athletes enjoy playing.” The season runs February-June and coaching is by players from the college level and major league lacrosse. New players are welcome and will be assigned to teams according to their skill and grade levels, as spots are available. Registration for Saturday, Feb. 2 tryouts is required by Jan. 31 at lajollalacrosse.com The tryout schedule Feb. 2 at La Jolla High School Field, 750 Nautilus St. is 1011:30 a.m. Grades 1-4; noon to 1:30 p.m.

n Sheldon High School wins National Division Championship The final title game at Torrey Pines was between the St. Augustine Saints from San Diego and the Sheldon Huskies from Sacramento. The Saints were coming off a huge upset victory over Salesian High School of Richmond, ranked 17th nationally by ESPN. Sheldon, however, defeated St. Augustine 64-47. The Saints managed to keep it close in the
first period even though their shooting was very cold from the beginning and throughout. The Huskies didn’t play much better as the first period ended with Sheldon in the lead 14-10. The second period saw Sheldon begin to get second shot opportunities while St. Augustine continued its poor shooting although the score at the end of the second period was Huskies 30, Saints 24. Still very much a ball game, the wheels started to come off at the beginning of the third period when Sheldon went on a 10-1 run making the score 40-25 ultimately outscoring the St. Augustine 23-9 in the third quarter. The Saints played poor defensively and could not find an offensive rhythm. This was partially due to the pressing and trapping defense applied by Sheldon. The game was decided in the third quarter when the Huskies outscored the Saints 23-9. The period ended with Sheldon ahead 5333. Sheldon scored 28 field goals to 14 for the Saints, indicative of St. Augustine’s very cold shooting. Another large factor was the turnover ratio. The Saints had four turnovers for every one the Huskies committed. Dakarai Allen of the Huskies led all scorers with 21 points and was named Most Valuable Player of the National Division. Dakarai will be attending San Diego State next year. Brynton Lemar, senior guard, led the Saints with 19 points. n On the Web: For complete results, visit theholidayclassic.org

What brought you to La Jolla? Following the death of my father, my mother Edna and I moved to San Diego from Bellevue, Wash., to be closer to family (my sister, Stella, married Dave Bloom who is the son of Marty and Sherry Bloom, and grandson of the late Phyllis Seeber of the Bird Rock neighborhood). I have long enjoyed the unique La Jolla restaurants, shops and cultural activities. Coming to work for La Jolla Woman’s Club in April 2011 has involved me in the strong community of the Village of La Jolla. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would like to see an organized community effort to recognize and support, on a long-term basis, the historic institutions that help make La Jolla a special place to live. The economic challenges of recent years have made many of us working in the non-profit world recognize the need to marshal our resources carefully, and to create and fund foundations to insure our historic buildings, and the organizations that meet in them, survive for the next 100 years.

Two productions explore
May/December
romances Eliza’s makeover in ‘Pygmalion’ mirrors Reality TV By Diana Saenger he Old Globe Theatre starts the year with a 100th anniversary production of George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” Shaw penned his romantic comedy in 1912 and named it after the mythological Pygmalion, a sculptor in Cyprus who fell in love with a statue he had carved. The play is a sharp parody of the rigid British class system of the day. In 1938, Shaw adapted “Pygmalion” for the big screen with Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. It is best known, however, as the 1956 Broadway musical “My Fair Lady,” starring Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews — who was replaced by Audrey Hepburn for the 1956 film version.

T
Leonard as Professor Henry Higgins, Charlotte Parry as Eliza Doolittle, Kandis Chappell as Mrs. Higgins, Don Sparks as Mr. Doolittle, Deborah Taylor as Mrs. Pearce and Paxton Whitehead as Colonel Pickering. The story is about a young woman who sells flowers on the streets of London and who ends up being the prop of a bet between Professor Higgins — who believes teaching her how to speak properly will change her life — and a gentleman, Colonel Pickering. Assessing “Pygmalion” as “a brilliant play with great characters,” Parry said she has always wanted to play the role of Eliza Doolittle. “Eliza is a sensitive, kind of put upon flower girl … but confident in her own way,” Parry said. “She makes quite the journey in

Through a jog-a-thon in November 2012, the students raised $11,320. Half of the money went to the school and the other half was distributed between Angels Foster Family Network, Father Joe’s Villages and Hands United for Children. Representatives from the three organizations came to collect their gifts and each explained how the donation would benefit their cause. Tessa Maxsimic, director of special events for Father Joe’s, said the money would buy gifts for homeless children.

Eggs Benedict tops the menu at The Broken Yolk Cafe By Kelley Carlson rom scrambled eggs to grilled chicken, The Broken Yolk Cafe offers something for everyone on its ovalshaped menu. The family-friendly restaurant — which has nine locations throughout San Diego County and in Temecula — advertises that its food is fresh and the portions are ample, as scales are not used for weighing. Customers won’t find dehydrated potatoes here; the hash browns and home fries are prepared from genuine spuds on site. They will also discover the salsa is house-made, and fruit and vegetables are sliced and diced in the kitchen rather than prepackaged. “People like that (freshness); they see the difference,” said John Gelastopoulos, who co-owns the chain with his wife, Chris. Starting at the crack of dawn until its mid-afternoon closure, The Broken Yolk serves breakfast, so that even night owls can enjoy the most important meal of the day. The top seller is Eggs Benedict, featuring two toasted English muffins topped with Canadian bacon, two poached eggs and Hollandaise sauce. Fans of omelets will find seemingly endless combinations (28 to be exact), each containing four extra-large eggs. The Mom Vegetarian Omelet is one of Broken Yolk’s signatures; it is stuffed with avocado, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, alfalfa sprouts and finished with sour cream and salsa. “Mom always tells you to eat your vegetables,” Gelastopoulos said when

His own favorite is Tony G’s Special, named for a patron who has consistently customized his omelet in the same manner for 18 years at the Pacific Beach location. The plate-sized, open-faced egg creation contains sautéed mushrooms, black olives, water chestnuts, green onions, tomatoes and bell peppers.

To complete the challenge, one person must finish it within an hour; winners have the $25.99 cost waived, receive a T-shirt and have their names added to the Hall of Fame Plaque. Not only is breakfast an all-day event at The Broken Yolk, lunch is too. Customers have choices of sandwiches, street tacos, wraps, paninis, soups and salads, along with half-pound Angus burgers, many of which are named for local cities. For example, the Solana Beach Burger is defined by bacon strips, melted Jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on a buttered-and-grilled, sesame-seed bun, while the Del Mar Burger is piled with sauteed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Ironically, the most popular patty is “nothing
fancy,” according to Gelastopoulos: The Old Reliable Burger is layered with American cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Although the daily dishes are a draw, The Broken Yolk’s special events attract so many guests, lines form outside the door. One instance is the chain’s anniversary celebration, held every March, when about a dozen items are priced at $2.99. Another is National Maple Syrup Day on Dec. 17, when the establishment gives customers free short stacks. But no matter which location people visit, they will find consistency. The menus are identical, and appearances are similar. The Broken Yolk is a modern breakfast house. The walls have warm tones — soft yellow and brick red — and wood floors, and the majority of seats are cushioned booths. Upbeat music plays as televisions silently show sports.

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My guest list would feature Ellen Browning Scripps, Dr. Mary Ritter, Florence Riford, Irving Gill, Kate Sessions, Joan and Irwin Jacobs, and Walter Munk. Who or what inspires you? Miss Ellen Browning Scripps, founder and former president of La Jolla Woman’s Club, was a talented, progressive and articulate woman who was interested in the social issues of the day and in encouraging women to be involved in all aspects of their community. As a philanthropist, she had the vision to create many of the institutions we most value in our community today, both for the institutions themselves, as well as the physical beauty of their architecture. She commissioned progressive architect Irving Gill to design and build La Jolla Woman’s Club, the Recreation Center, three of the buildings at The Bishop’s School, and her own home (now the center building of the Museum of Contemporary Art). Considered a pioneer of the modern movement in architecture, Gill is now lauded as one of the five most important California architects and the buildings are now recognized as his masterpieces. As these buildings approach their 100th anniversary and as their fame in architectural circles grows, I have come to realize the importance of protecting these properties for the
next 100 years for members, residents and visitors to enjoy the historic treasures created by the philanthropist and architect working together.
Jewish Community Center to hold poetry readings
What are you reading and watching? I am currently reading several books on the flowering trees and bushes in Kyoto and studying a book on rose varieties and their care. My favorite movies include “Charade,” “Chan is Missing,” “Julie & Julia,” “Rear Window” and “The Last Emperor.”
Readings by three local poets — Rabbi Patti Haskell, Joni Gurstein and Ysmael Escudero Tisnado II — will kick off the fifth year of “Jewish Poets — Jewish Voices” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15 in the Astor Judaica Library at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. Ysmael will read his poetry in Ladino, followed by English translations. Joni Gerstein is published in San Diego Annual, Magee Park Anthology (Carlsbad), MiraCosta Tidepools and Expressions, Summations III and IV, and Phantoms of the Gallery. Introduced by poet Joy Heitzmann, the featured authors will read their works during the first hour. This will be followed by a half hour of open mic during which members of the audience are invited to read individual poems. There will a sign-up sheet in the library as people enter. Following the readings, there will be an opportunity to socialize over light refreshments.

She wants to get away from the life she’s trapped in.� At the time the play was first written, it was viewed as an observation on female independence. “At Higgins’s home where she’s being tutored, she grows into a sophisticated and confident young lady who realizes she has choices and even learns to stand up to Professor Higgins, who constantly puts her down,� Parry said. “At one point, she tells Higgins that the difference between a flower
girl and a lady isn’t the way she behaves, but the way she’s treated. “It’s a true rags-to-riches story, but always reminds me of the movie ‘Trading Places’ (1983, starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd) where if a poor person switches lives with a rich one, they are still the same people inside and a reflection on prejudice,� Parry said. “Today, we love watching reality TV shows and makeovers where people’s lives are transformed; it’s human nature. That’s the basis of ‘Pygmalion,’ but it’s also a really funny classic that will entertain the audience.�

Then Rita enters Frank’s life and inspires him. “She’s not a regular student, she’s a local who is plain speaking ‌ a workingclass girl,â€? Reynolds said. “She left school early and became a hairdresser. Her education was squandered by peer pressure to work, but she has a really curious mind and wants to learn. The dynamic of her coming into Frank’s life shakes him up considerably.â€? As revealed on stage and in the 1983 film starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters, there are some dark moments in this story. “These two people have a dynamic influence on each other, but it’s definitely a May-December relationship, even though they have an energy and passion between them,â€? Reynolds said. “Like all relationships, the first act centers on the newness ‌ Frank discovers Rita’s desire for knowledge and his own rediscovery of his passion and ability to teach. By the second act, Rita grows beyond Frank and does not need him as much.â€? “Educating Ritaâ€? has often been compared to “Pygmalion.â€? “It is similar,â€? Reynolds said. “Frank and Rita go through a huge arc in their relationship. It’s a very well written play that’s witty and charming with interesting characters who find unlimited potential in each other. That’s what that makes an audience root for them to succeed.â€?

Looking for Mr. Calm Let Inga tell you ...
I
think I can sum up my husband, Olof’s, and my different styles by the funeral instructions our estate attorney had us write when he set up our trusts. Mine went on for three pages. Olof’s were all of six words: “I don’t care. I’ll be dead.” I’ve always found the topic of why people pick the spouses they do endlessly fascinating, and particularly how people (not mentioning any names) try to compensate for their own perceived shortcomings in a spouse. In one sense, Olof and I couldn’t be more opposite. He’s a Cal Techeducated engineer trained in
reactor physics. I read once that some incredible percentage of “tech-ers” of Olof’s generation would now be diagnosed as having Aspergers. (The rest would be simply be considered socially maladroit.) (As an aside here, my younger son, Henri, always thought Olof was saying “COW Tech” and kept asking him about the animals. I thought that would be a cute story to send to the alumni news. Or not.) Olof also spent 10 years as an Air Force pilot happily traversing the world stopping in exotic places to drink beer. But three of those years involved extremely hazardous flying, requiring nerves of steel. I mention this because the one thing no one has ever accused me of is having nerves of steel. I myself have always embraced the creative but handwringing anxious wreck branch of the family. I was always clear I could
never be married to someone like me. We’d work ourselves into a frenzy of catastrophic possibilities, no outcome too implausibly dire. So it’s no accident that I managed to marry not one, but two husbands, who possessed quintessential calm. (My first husband was a physician.) I’ve always hoped that my spouses’ inherent serenity would somehow rub off on me. Choosing Mr. Calm turned out to be a choice that had ramifications I could never have imagined. Several years ago we were coming back from the airport after having gone to the Bay area to visit our newborn first grandchild, Elliott. We were in the second from right lane on I-5 when a very impaired driver in a white Mercedes roared up behind us and slammed into our car in excess of 80 miles per hour, obliterating the entire back end of the car and sending us hurtling toward the low
JoIn ouR nEw womEn’S muLtI SPoRt tEAm
the velocity, factoring in the torque, and of course, adjusting for mass, instantly concluding he must not over-swerve at this speed or he’d roll the car. The fact that Olof could so quickly formulate a plan (those might not have been his exact calculations) never mind execute it with a clear head astonished me. But then, I guess the Air Force frowns on you panicking and plunging to your death in their $30-million airplane just because the oil light flickers. I, meanwhile, was doing what I do best in an emergency: scream. (We all have to play to our strengths.) I didn’t think there was any possibility we were going to survive this crash that excised the front end of the car as well. So when we did, my third grateful thought (filtered through the agony of a broken sternum as sirens wailed in the distance) was: “Calm husband. Good choice.”
Had it been me driving, see “seriously deceased,” above. So I’ve always been clear why I picked him. (Besides being calm, he’s a total sweetheart and quite possibly the most honest guy alive.) But why did he pick ME? Well, we both love anchovy pizza, and believe me, that’s not so easy to find. One might think techno geek looking for outgoing social type, but despite the engineer image, he’s actually as social as I am. On one thing we definitely agree: we each think we got the better deal, that the other person could have done — nay, deserved — better. In the end, maybe that’s all that matters. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light. Reach her by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

concrete berm of an overpass. I was sure that at that speed, we were going to go sailing over the side and end up seriously deceased on the freeway 30 feet below. Several totally diverse but profoundly grateful thoughts flashed through my mind in what I was sure were my final seconds: first, that I was so incredibly glad that I got to hold Elliot. Second, that I’d never have to fly Southwest again. Olof’s mind, not surprisingly, went in different directions. Equally possible to the Thelma-and-Louise scenario, he feared that the car would ricochet off the concrete barrier, bounce back into six lanes of fast moving traffic, and be turned into aluminum foil. Hence he must get the vehicle under control immediately after impact with the berm. In the nanoseconds I was musing about Southwest, Olof was already calculating the cosine of the vortex of

Love it or loathe it: The polarization of cilantro
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
C
ilantro (aka Chinese parsley or coriander) is probably the mostloved, while at the same time, the most-hated herb on the planet. The cornerstone of Middle Eastern, Latin American and Southeast Asian cuisines, cilantro has caused culinary divisiveness among families and nations. Here’s the nitty-gritty and a little PR boost on this muchmaligned Biblical botanical. Roots and Relatives The glossy, bright green scalloped leaves are called cilantro or Chinese parsley, and the seeds are referred to as coriander. Ancients from India, Egypt, Rome and China have revered cilantro for thousands of years for its culinary charm and medicinal properties. A close cousin to carrots and parsley, cilantro is a hardy annual that originated in southern Europe, North Africa and western Asia, and happened to be one of the plants thriving in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Confessions of a Cilantrophobe If you are repulsed by the taste, smell or even being in the same room as cilantro, you are in good culinary company. Charter member of the anti-cilantro club was
the late-great Julia Child, who described the green herb as “having kind of a dead taste.” There is an “I Hate Cilantro” Facebook page and blog with a growing community of cilantro-despising followers. Scientific studies propose that the cilantro aversion might be caused by a genetic predisposition. According to behavioral neuroscientist Charles J. Wysocki of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, “Strong evidence suggests there’s a heritable component to the reactions that people have to cilantro, whether you’re a hater or a lover.” Cilantrophobes experience something akin to the taste of a mouthful of soap when eating the stuff. Funny enough, the similar aldehydes or fat molecules that give cilantro its distinct smell and flavor are also found in soaps and lotions. For some chemical reason, cilantro detesters perceive the soap aldehyde flavor rather than the sweet, pungent and aromatic cilantro aldehyde. For all you cilantro loathers out there, I’m sorry to say that the fragrant herb has assimilated nicely into the American gustatory scene and is relished by millions. As for finding a suitable substitute, cilantro is irreplaceable, but you can try blending assorted herbs like chopped parsley, mint and oregano or basil as a half-baked alternative. Perks of Parsley Packed with essential oils (both leaves and seeds), minerals including potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, folic acid and Vitamins
A, K and C, cilantro has been found to put the skids on everything from digestive ailments and creaky joints to an aging brain and “bad” cholesterol levels. An anti-oxidant phytonutrient powerhouse, this mighty herb warrior boosts the immune system fending off various viruses, has diuretic properties found to control mild cases of diabetes, and with high dietary fiber acts like nature’s roto-rooter for the intestines. Cilantro also detoxifies the body of heavy metals, wards off inflammation, maintains healthy vision, bone mass and skin, and has been linked to protecting against oral cancers. Cilantro’s seedy counterpart, coriander, has been used as a homeopathic Viagra, deodorant, fungicide and pain reliever. Turn Over a New Leaf To get the greatest flavor oomph out of cilantro, chop this fragrant herb just before using as a garnish for soups, stirfry, chilis, Thai noodle dishes, bean salads, grilled wild-caught salmon, seafood cocktails, salsas, whole fish presentations and veggie fried rice. Stuff it into fullyloaded baked potatoes, spring rolls and calzones. Use whole sprigs to jazz up savory cocktails like Bloody Marys, omelets and frittatas. Swap out curly parsley for cilantro in tabouli. Concoct a cilantrolime dressing to dial up chicken, or make a spicy pepper cilantro sauce to give a kick to lamb shanks.

San Diego REP takes on race and real estate
Come Sea the Fun
San Diego’s Only Year Round Whale Watching! Winter: Pacific Gray Whale · Summer: Great Blue Whale
By Elizabeth Marie Himchak The San Diego REPertory Theater will present “Clybourne Park,” the award-winning comedy about race and real estate in America, Jan. 12 to Feb. 10 on The Lyceum Stage, 79 Horton Plaza. Written by Bruce Norris and directed by Sam Woodhouse, “Clybourne Park” tells the story of one house through five decades, and the complicated race issues that play out over time. Act One is set in 1959, in the dream home of the Younger family in Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun,” where a white couple ignites controversy when they sell their bungalow to the neighborhood’s first black family. Act Two takes place in the same house, but 50 years later, with the reverse situation. Now, in 2009, a white couple is planning to purchase and demolish the house in the now all-black neighborhood, causing distress and anger among the neighbors. While “Clybourne Park” boasts a talented cast made up of both longtime REP actors and newcomers, Woodhouse said one of the most important characters is the house itself. “This is a piece that
Sandy Campbell, Monique Gaffney, Jason Heil and Matt Orduña star in ‘Clybourne Park,’ the San Diego REP’s new comedy. Darren Scott directly addresses the things people don’t voice about subjects of race,” said Woodhouse. “You’ll think,

‘did I actually just hear people say that?’” Despite the heavy nature of the issues, Woodhouse insists the play is very much a comedy. “It doesn’t mean that it is silly, but it’s funny,” he said. “The elephant in the room is articulated.” Woodhouse added that the script is also “incredibly smart and witty,” something backed up by its multiple award wins, including the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, a 2011 Pulitzer Prize, and a 2011 Olivier Award. In addition to the play, the San Diego REP is offering discussions prior to performances, 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. These events include a discussion about white privilege 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, excerpts from “A Raisin in the Sun,” 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 13, and “Sam’s Salon: An Honest Discussion of Race in America,” 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 24.

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment. To make a contribution, please go to lajollacommunityfoundation.org and click on GET INVOLVED. Become a member today!

REBA giving away free maps of La Jolla’s micro-neighborhoods FROM REBA REPORTS
La Jolla, like London, has hidden microneighborhoods. But London gives visitors a chance because they post signs. Not here! You just have to know where Upper Hermosa changes to Lower Hermosa, which part of Country Club doesn’t touch the golf course, and where to find Soledad South, the Old Muirlands, Bird Rock or La Jolla Mesa. Where did these designations come from? According to the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association (REBA), a group of real estate agents laid them out decades ago in an effort to bring organization to showing property here. Beach-Barber Tract, La Jolla Shores Heights,
Hidden Valley, the Village — once you get the hang of it, it all makes sense. Locals know their neighborhoods, and so do REBA agents. REBA has a free, portable, old-school, fold-up map of La Jolla and surrounding area, printed in a large, readable font, that unlike a GPS, will give those interested the big picture. The maps are available for the asking from Kathy Steever at the REBA offices, 908 Kline St., La Jolla. Visitors find them particularly useful, since La Jolla is not laid out on a Midwestern-style grid. For information about the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association, call (858) 454-6126 or visit lajollareba.com
ABC names La Jolla second most expensive for renters ABC News and Bankrate.com compiled a list of the most expensive cities for renters, with La Jolla coming in second nationwide, and highest in California. Looking at average monthly rent for a three-bedroom house, North Miami Beach in Florida tops the list at $4,489. La Jolla
comes in second with $3,922. Other cities on the list, in ascending order, include Santa Monica, Calif.; Newport Beach, Calif.; Dana Point, Calif.; Miami Beach, Fla.; New York, N.Y.; Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.; Bethesda, Md.; and Sherman Oaks, Calif.
