Merchants weigh fate of Haute Nights, return on events By Pat Sherman uring a special meeting held Jan. 16 at La Valencia Hotel, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) continued the strategic planning discussion it began during its regular monthly meeting the week prior. Topics broached included the future of the association’s Haute La Jolla Nights music and shopping events, which LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune said received dismal sponsorship last year. Founding Haute Nights organizer Julie Matibag,
D
who was instrumental in the success of the event during its first two seasons, has decided to end her involvement with the events, Fortune said. While the first Haute Night of 2013 did well, even garnering a title sponsor, “after that it just turned off,” Fortune said. “We couldn’t get $250$300 from people to save our lives. There are some businesses that still owe us money for participating (who) didn’t pay their sponsorship fees.” Last year’s final Haute Night, slated for November, was canceled. Though most board members agreed that they
liked Haute Nights, each monthly event, last year expanded from three to five, cost the LJVMA $5,000 apiece to produce, Fortune said. LJVMA board members discussed pulling the event back to only summer months, holding it quarterly, or tying them to shopping-related holidays, such as Black Friday or American Express’s Small Business Saturday, “when people are already interested in shopping (and) merchants will already be staying open late,” as

An icon reborn
La Valencia replaces Whaling Bar with Euro flair and novel cuisine By Pat Sherman The fish (er, Whaling Bar) has been gutted — and to marvelous effect. Though anxiety over the extensive transformation of La Valencia Hotel’s iconic watering hole ran high among some regulars, the sky hasn’t fallen since the eatery’s Jan. 1 reopening as the expanded Café La Rue (though the Sky Room restaurant, once located on the 10th floor, will soon be converted to guest suites).
“Loyalists came in and said, ‘I really wanted to hate this space,’ ” the hotel’s managing director, Mark Dibella, said, adding that though some turned and vowed to never return, many more initially skeptical guests were pleasantly surprised by the bright, open space, whose décor and menu take inspiration from the village cafes of Europe. “It’s been very rewarding,” Dibella said.

Crime NEWS Jewelry stolen from La Jolla Farms home An undisclosed amount of jewelry was stolen from a home in the 9700 block of La Jolla Farms Road during the evening of Jan. 16-17. San Diego Police have classified the robbery as a “hot prowl burglary,” meaning “the residents were asleep in the home while the burglary occurred,” said SDPD community relations officer Larry Hesselgesser. The home was entered through an unlocked gate and an unlocked sliding glass door at the rear of the home, he said. The residents were unaware of the theft until they awoke in the morning. Anyone with information about the crime is urged to call SDPD’s Northern Division at (858) 552-1700.
Vandalism on the rise in Bird Rock, La Jolla A Bird Rock resident who had eggs thrown at his Toyota Prius in November and again on Saturday night, Jan. 18 contacted La Jolla Light about a recent rash of vandalism in his neighborhood and elsewhere in La Jolla. The man said numerous cars were egged between the 5400 and 6000 blocks of Beaumont Avenue (where he resides), and on nearby La Jolla Hermosa Avenue, Jan. 18. Similar incidents in the area, which also include busted auto headlamps and taillights, have occurred from early
November to late December, he said. San Diego Police community relations officer Larry Hesselgesser confirmed the rash of eggings in the La Jolla area. “We believe (the perpetrators) are kids, but really have no solid evidence to make arrests,” he responded, via e-mail. “If the eggs are fresh on the vehicle and they can simply be washed off in a timely manner there is no permanent damage, meaning there is no vandalism. We have taken numerous reports where the eggs sat on the vehicle or house for an extended period of time damaging the paint and vandalism reports have been made.” He also confirmed recent reports of vehicles in the area being kicked, causing dents and damage to mirrors. “These are mainly insurance reports unless we have evidence to prove who is responsible,” he said. Police ask victims of such crimes to call (619) 531-2000. Anyone with information about possible suspects should call (858) 552-1724.
Driver hits hydrant and flees vehicle A pickup slammed into a fire hydrant in La Jolla early Tuesday, Jan. 21, causing a massive geyser that shot up higher than a nearby two-story home, police said. The crash at Soledad Avenue and Crespo Drive was reported about 12:20 a.m., according to San Diego Police officer Dino Delimitros. The driver and possibly other occupants of
the pickup abandoned the vehicle and were nowhere to be found when officers arrived, he said. No injuries were reported.

Museum of Tolerance tapped for lessons on bullying n Offending youths tell police, program directors: ‘I have a lot to think about’

The police department provides the transportation. Officers from the Juvenile Services Team supervise the participants, and the Jewish Community Center pays for their admission to the museum. Marcia Tatz, director of Literary Arts & Education for the JCC, said when the police approached them for support, she thought it would be a “wonderful” partnership. “We wanted to assist because the museum does not just teach about the Holocaust, it

teaches about tolerance,” she said, adding that’s much more important to teach when people are young. “The earlier the better, because that’s the time of your life when you are forming who you are,” she said. “You’re forming your own personal identity and what role you are going to play in the community as you grow up. Trips like this can give students tools to move forward.” For these custom tours, Servin called upon veteran docent, Diana Treister, because she understands the goals police hope to accomplish, and she takes the students through the museum, catering the messages. Treister said she starts each presentation

By Ashley Mackin In an effort to curb bullying at area schools, San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division (which covers La Jolla) has partnered with the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center to take at-risk youth (and students identified as possible bullies) to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The students are recommended for the trip by their parents or school administrators. The journey includes a three-hour tailor-made tour for this group. Sgt. Ernesto Servin, speaking on behalf of Northern Division, explained that some students are recommended as a part of a diversion program, which means they’ve been in trouble or gotten in fights at school or fights with their parents. “We do a lot of outreach to schools about upcoming trips and ask administrators to find students who meet the criteria. They provide the names and we contact the parents,” he said. Students are seen as potential bullies if they’ve been caught using racial slurs and other terms that suggest discriminatory thoughts. “Having been to the Museum of Tolerance in the past, I knew how meaningful and impactful the museum is and I know during the tours they talk about acceptance and tolerance, and there is a

Servin said. One of the directors of the Museum of Tolerance, who was attacked and bullied in his own youth, often speaks to the group to explain the long-term effects of mistreatment. ”The museum has been gracious in allowing us to have a tailor-made tour just for our kids,” Servin said. He added that the tours have been successful, based on feedback from parents and teachers. “They tell us that the kids have changed; they’re more respectful at home and their choices of friends have changed,” he said. “Schools report the kids now stand up for kids being bullied. We’re just planting seeds and letting the kids come up with their own way to solve these problems.” Treister said she knows the program is a success when the youths say to her, as they often do, “I have a lot to think about.” u

Town Council hears city’s project plans for 2014 La Jolla Town Council By Ashley Mackin During the first monthly meeting of the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) Jan. 9, District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner provided the council with an update on what to expect in 2014. “In the New Year, we will move forward with the Cove Lifeguard Tower and Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower, and maybe I should say, landscaping projects as well,” she said, motioning to attendee Phyllis Minick to call out the Children’s Pool Walk project, which recently received funding from community donations. Lightner explained that the Cove lifeguard tower is scheduled to begin construction this month, and that construction began at Children’s Pool tower, but has been suspended until the end of pupping season, May 15. Additionally, “The Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project is in environmental review … as soon as that’s done, we can move forward,” she said of the longawaited project to implement a
series of traffic-calming concepts to enhance vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic along the busy thoroughfare. Lastly, she said, “We have also been advocating for funding in the budget to develop a Coastal Management Plan to deal with the proliferation of marine mammals and wildlife on our coastline, some of it associated with odors that are not well received.” Commenting on the gate installed at the Cove on Dec. 31, 2013 for that purpose, Lightner said, “It’s amazing how long it takes from advocacy to implementation.” She said the city would continue to treat the bird guano as the issue arises, and hopes the human presence on the cliffs will help reduce the marine animal pollution there. Lightner also swore-in two new town council trustees: Natasha Alexander and Al Ramirez. Ashley Mahmoudian, Courtney Hibbard and Richard Ticho are also new trustees, but were not present at the meeting.

Resident says some street sweeping signs confuse the issue By Ashley Mackin If you are among the La Jolla residents who want street sweeping along your avenue, take a lesson from Edward Nigolian, who shares the following story: While his street on the 300 block of Prospect is swept by City of San Diego crews on a weekly basis, it is also a “Not Posted” street, which means residents are asked to
voluntarily move their cars on sweeping days. The problem is, since there are no signs posted to indicate the street-sweeping hours, Nigolian said residents do not move their cars, which leads to sub-par cleanups. “So I called the city and was offered signs I could put up myself the night before indicating there would be street sweeping the next day,” he said, and because the

street is swept Monday mornings, Nigolian put out signs Sunday night. “The first time I put up the signs, 50 percent of the cars moved,” he said. “But the street sweeper had to go around the cars that were still there. The second time, nobody moved because there is no enforcement.” His only hope, according to the city, is to change how his street is “categorized.” Bill Harris of the city’s Department of Transportation and Stormwater said there’s a process for requesting that street sweeping go from “Not Posted” to “Posted.” Log on to the SanDiego.gov website, click on “Departments,” and then click on “Transportation and Storm Water.” You’ll find a “Submit a Street Service Request” and from there, a map option and a text option, both of which pinpoint the location and the problem (i.e. not enough street sweeping or the lack of enforcement). Once the request is processed, a petition goes out to all affected residents, of which a high percentage must sign for the category to be changed. While residents are being notified, the Department of Transportation and Stormwater assesses the street to see if the service change request is possible and
La Jolla resident Edward Nigolian posts these signs on his street hoping neighbors will move their cars to ensure thorough street sweeping. Ashley Mackin merited (based on scheduling and the street’s proximity to other posted areas). Nigolian said he would “definitely” be making that request on behalf of the residents on Prospect Street. u

Updated Appliances Attract Buyers
From upping a property's curb appeal to decluttering the space and staging it to attract a wide range of prospective buyer's, preparing a home to be listed on the market can be a time consuming process. However, if you're in the early stages of preparing for a sale, it is crucial that you take the time to ensure that the major appliances within the home are in good working condition. This may mean replacing appliances if they are more than 10 years old. When it comes to replacing them, replacing just one can do more damage than good. If you bring in a new oven, it may just make your dishwasher look old and dated. It is also important to keep in mind: buyers have a fondness for stainless steel kitchen appliances. So if you replace appliances, they should all be of the same specific color and style for a unified appearance. In the end, selling your home is all about getting potential buyers to become emotionally attached to your home. This may prove to be more difficult with non-functioning and/or mismatched kitchen appliances. While some say new appliances may be a waste of money for a new buyer may have their own vision, it doesn't hurt to take one thing off their to do list. An investment in new appliances can make an older kitchen seem fresher and exciting. It may even distract the buyers from thinking about your older cabinets, flooring and tile.

From Merchants, A1 suggested by board member Justin Stewart. Part of the problem, Fortune said, is that some businesses promising to participate by staying open for the duration of the evening event, closed shop early. LJVMA board president Claude-Anthony Marengo said the events brought people near businesses, but not always inside the stores. Fortune said the business improvement district the association oversees is so large it is difficult for the event to benefit all merchants, even though the LJVMA shifted the core of the event and outdoor location of bands several times. Board member Nancy Warwick said that instead of using larger or louder rock-style bands, the event could transition to featuring more lowkey entertainment suited to shopping experiences, such as jazz ensembles. “(Then) it becomes a whole shopping environment, where people are really enjoying the music but they’re not just standing there (outside listening),” Warwick said. Stewart and others suggested adding additional “sensory stimuli,” such as sidewalk statues, art contests or a chili cook-off. Board member Krista Baroudi suggested the association hand out maps listing the location of performers, as well as merchant giveaways or discounts. Though Haute Nights may not always bring in extra revenue for businesses, Baroudi said they leave people with a favorable impression of their evening in the Village of La Jolla. “I think La Jolla really needs to get its vibe back,” she said. Marengo said the Village is in need of large
La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s board president Claude-Anthony Marengo Pat Sherman anchor tenants, to promote connectivity in La Jolla and complete the retail puzzle. “That’s going to be one of my goals this year, to try to solicit (anchor tenants) and find the connection points in our Village that makes the ‘L’ or the ‘T’ shape — and start talking to the owners to see if we can find a way to drag in an anchor that then makes the connectivity like a shopping center.” Though Marengo said the Sur La Table store at 7643 Girard Ave. didn’t move into as walkable of an area as he would have suggested, “it’s an opportunity now to try and build around them and see what we can do to encourage the traffic.”
Event payoff considered
The LJVMA board also discussed whether its participation in events constitutes an effective use of its time and resources — particularly the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival and the Concours D’Elegance auto show, the later of which the LJVMA once ran, but which no longer benefits
the association financially. The event was handed over to the La Jolla Historical Society several years ago when the LJVMA was forming from the ashes of the beleaguered Promote La Jolla, which previously managed La Jolla’s business improvement district funds. “That’s where I have a little rub,” Marengo said. “It’s great that we lend our name to participate on an outside event, but we’re not getting anything back. I’d rather give our efforts to our merchants.” Fortune said the La Jolla Historical Society wanted to hand the auto show back to LJVMA a few years ago, though they didn’t have the resources to do it at the time. “They went back to their board and just decided to grow it,” bringing in a professional event promoter, she said. “It just organically stayed with them.” Fortune also suggested that LJVMA use online crowd-funding campaigns to raise money for projects in the Village that need funding (such as the $1,100 per month it spends on landscaping), or organize its own golf tourney fundraiser, something with which she said she has had five years organizational experience. “It’s an easy money-maker,” Marengo concurred. A discussion of the LVMMA’s 2014-2015 fiscal year budget was delayed to give the board more time to disseminate the information to members. “(The city) didn’t want us to rush the process so they extended their timeframe to us,” Fortune later said, via e-mail. u — LJVMA meets 8:30 a.m. second Wednesdays at Cuvier Club, 7776 Eads Ave. lajollabythesea.com
Surf shop turns to Kickstarter for support La Jolla business owner Johnny Phillips, founder of the Phillips Surf Company, is using the crowd-funding site KickStarter.com to help get his company up and running. Those interested can pledge as little as $1, with rewards that increase as pledges go up. For example, a pledge of $25 or more earns a “Defend California” tank top. Pledges are only cashed in if the whole amount is raised, in this case, $4,250. Phillips’ surfboards are handmade from durable, light and unique woods, and often finless and in a vintage style. “I’m trying to find an alternative to the environmentally un-friendly polyurethane blanks that have been so commonly used for the past 50 years,” Phillips said on the KickStarter page. To make a pledge, visit KickStarter.com, and search for “Phillip Surf.” u

Three-story project rejected again by community planners La Jolla Community Planning Association By Pat Sherman During a special meeting held Jan. 8 at La Jolla Rec Center, the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) rejected a controversial mixed-use project proposed for .27 acres on Girard Avenue (next to the Von’s grocery store) that would place a threestory building in Zone 1 of the La Jolla Planned District (within the La Jolla Community Plan), which limits commercial structures to two stories. LJCPA’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO) and Development Permit Review (DPR) subcommittees both voted that findings can not be made to approve a coastal development permit and waive tentative map requirements for the 5,125-squarefoot project. The DPR committee rejected the most recent revision of the plans because members felt the “proposed design is not consistent
with either the intent nor the letter of the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (the community’s blueprint for development), which clearly is intended to promote pedestrianfriendly, accessible commercial environments.” It also found the “placement of commercial use is five to seven feet below the sidewalk level (and) not consistent with the PDO requirement that commercial use be placed at the ground floor.” Project architect Phillip Quatrino of PQ Design Studio said the project was approved as a threestory building by the city’s Development Services Department in 2011 (and initially by the DPR), though in 2012 the LJCPA returned the item to DPR for further oversight. Since then, Quatrino said his firm has been working with the city’s development services to “craft a structure which meets their definition of basement, ground level commercial (space).” At the suggestion of city staff, PQ Design continued through the discretionary process with La Jolla’s community advisory groups. The privately owned project site was sold to a developer after Vons — which currently uses it as a
Philip Quatrino and Ashley Prikosovits of PQ Design Studio take another failed stab at wooing the La Jolla Community Planning Association into approving a three-story mixeduse project (next to Vons market on Girard Avenue). La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance only allows for commercial structures of two stories in that area, the group contends. Pat Sherman
parking lot — decided not to purchase it. LJCPA board member and DPR chair Paul Benton offered a lengthy presentation outlining his objections to the project. Namely, the applicants are defining the partially submerged first-floor commercial space as a basement (and not a first-story), which would make the project conform with height limits in the municipal code and PDO.
For it to be considered a basement, Benton argued, the amount of vertical space below proposed or existing grade (sidewalk level) must be greater than that of the basement level above the existing or proposed grade. The proposed commercial basement space is seven feet below the existing, sloped grade in some areas, Benton said. Trustee Jim Fitzgerald said the project does not conform to the definition of a first story defined in
the municipal code. LJCPA Vice-chair Joe LaCava said Proposition D — which placed a height restriction of 30 feet on development in a coastal zone — could be massaged to define the space as a first story. However, he said, La Jolla’s PDO is clear on the matter. A motion rejecting the project, including findings of the DPR and

Ambassadors of Macedonia talk business at La Jolla luncheon
Zoran Stravreski, Macedonia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance takes part in The Ambassadorial Roundtable Jan. 20 at La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. Ashley Mackin
By Ashley Mackin As part of The Ambassadorial Roundtable, which brings ambassadors from around the world to San Diego for cultural and business exchange, three representatives from the Republic of Macedonia were in La Jolla Jan. 20 to speak at a luncheon hosted by La Valencia Hotel. The speakers highlighted reasons why they believe Macedonia is an ideal location for manufacturing companies. Introduced by Macedonian Ambassador to the United States, Zoran Jolevski, the country’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Zoran Stavrevski, explained how Macedonia’s conservative fiscal policy allows for low corporate taxes, making the country stable in macroeconomic terms, and a competitive market for investors. Macedonian Minister of Foreign Investments, Bill Pavleski, spoke of the highly trained workforce there. “One of our strongest selling points for investors is that we have the lowest taxes in Europe with a flat corporate tax of 10 percent,” Stavrevski said. “This tax is only paid if the profit is distributed as a dividend. If it is reinvested, then the tax rate is zero. If a company makes a profit and reinvests this profit for building new premises or buying machines, then they are not paying corporate tax.” Further, he said, Macedonia has Free Economic Zones in which a company can apply for a tax exemption of 10 years. The Macedonian government has also implemented new reforms, one of which — the “Regulatory Guillotine” — streamlines the procedures needed to obtain construction permits. As a result, Stavrevski said,
“One can open a company in Macedonia in four hours.” He added that land is available through the international bidding process; however, the starting price is one Euro per square meter ($1.30 U.S. for every three square feet). Those who invest 400,000 Euros can obtain Macedonian citizenship. Foreign Investments Minister Pavleski noted that, despite the low cost for land and taxes, he doesn’t want investors to confuse competitive with cut-rate. “When we say competitive, I never use the word ‘cheap’ because cheap is associated with bad quality,” he said. “What I mean by competitive is having a competitive cost structure, whether it be in labor or taxes, but not losing the quality of the workforce. And a good quality workforce guarantees you have good product, which your companies demand.” Pavleski said Macedonians make up a qualified workforce because of the governmental emphasis on education in math, science and engineering, plus the fact that students begin learning English in first grade. In addition to the investment incentives and highly trained workforce, Pavleski said Macedonia’s geography is also on its side. “Though we are landlocked, we are strategically located; you can have easy access to any western European market. In the past, companies would ship products to Europe from Southeast Asia and it would take them 35 days. Now, the companies that have migrated from China to Macedonia, they can ship their products in 24 hours,” Pavleski said. u — The Ambassadorial Roundtable has hosted nearly 20 international leaders since 2005.

Gala to honor local environmental ‘heroes’ n Producer of ‘Blackfish’ documentary to attend By Pat Sherman A fundraising gala to benefit Kids Eco Club — a nonprofit founded three years ago by La Jolla Country Day School student Max Guinn and his mother, Susan Guinn — will recognize local students, educators, businesses and elected officials for their efforts to protect the Earth’s environment and the creatures that inhabit it. The “Healthy Planet Local Hero Awards” will be 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1 at Rancho Valencia Resort, 5921 Valencia Circle in Rancho Santa Fe. Tickets start at $250. Proceeds benefit Kids Eco Club and its Youth Civic Engagement and Leadership program, held in February at the University of San Diego. Through the club local sustainability and conservation experts and entrepreneurs work with students from largely disadvantaged communities, giving them the tools to create eco-friendly start-up projects that engage their families and communities. More broadly, Kids Eco Club provides a variety of environmental education programs at schools. With the help of the organization and its board of directors (including John Spiegel, science coordinator for the San Diego County Office of Education) nearly 100 Kids Eco Clubs now

Max, 13, has started petitions to ban the practice of shark-finning and, more recently, to bring SeaWorld to the table to discuss its confinement of marine mammals for human entertainment (“Demand a Plan for Whales and Dolphins in Captivity”). “We’ve come to figure out that whales and dolphins are really, really smart so we’re trying to get them out of all the SeaWorld parks,” said Max, 13. “Usually in the wild they stay with their family their whole life. It’s sad that they take that opportunity away from them.” Special gala guest Gabriela Cowperthwaite, writer, director and producer of the 2013 documentary “Blackfish,” will attend the 5-6 p.m. VIP wine reception. u

Frontline Cancer SCOTT M. LIPPMAN, M.D.
The medical truth about e-cigs and hookahs
T
he number of Americans who puff cigarettes is steadily shrinking, from a high of 45 percent in the mid1950s to just 18 percent of adults in 2012. It’s a big reason why the overall cancer mortality rate is also in decline. That’s the good news. The bad news is the rising popularity of two alternatives — electronic cigarettes and hookahs — both of which may be just as bad for users’ health, and ultimately lead to smoking tobacco cigarettes. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that spritz nicotine-infused vapor into the mouth. Because they don’t produce a toxic cloud of secondhand tobacco smoke, promoters claim they’re safe, but the assertion is simply not true. Though not as polluting as conventional cigarettes, e-cigarette users, known colloquially as “vapers,� exhale a mixture of volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, ultrafine particles and aerosolized nicotine. Research has shown that people sharing the same air space with vapers have measurable levels of nicotine in their bodies. Hookahs pull burning tobacco smoke through a basin of water, often infusing it with seemingly benign flavors like strawberries, chocolate mint and Pina Colada. But even after it has passed
through water, the smoke from a hookah contains high levels of carbon monoxide, metals and carcinogenic chemicals. Hookahs deliver the same addictive nicotine dose as cigarettes — as well as the same carcinogenic toxicants from burning tobacco and other additives. Thus they can also be expected to increase the risk for the same diseases that afflict traditional smokers: cancer of the lungs, mouth, stomach and esophagus, reduced lung function and decreased fertility. Indeed, hookah smokers might be at greater risk. A typical one-hour hookah smoking session, which often occurs in a social setting, involves 200 puffs while the average cigarette lasts only 20 puffs. The volume of hookah smoke inhaled can be 180 times greater. The marketing of e-cigarettes and hookahs is massive and alarming. E-cigarette sales in 2013 surpassed $1 billion. Advertising techniques used by the tobacco industry in the 1960s and ‘70s (before significant regulation) are being employed again, primarily targeting younger users. Data from the 2012 National Youth Tobacco Survey shows e-cigarette use has risen among middle school students from 0.6 percent in 2011 to 1.1 percent last year. That might not seem like a particularly
troublesome number, but these are kids between the ages of 10 and 14. Among high school students, e-cigarette consumption almost doubled, from 1.5 percent in 2011 to 2.8 percent in 2012. Hookah use has risen from 4.1 percent to 5.4 percent over the same time period. All of this is in addition to the thousands of children who try regular tobacco. According to the American Lung Association, almost 3,900 children under the age of 18 experiment each day with their first cigarette. More than 950 will become daily smokers. Half will ultimately die from their habit. Though public indoor cigarette smoking is banned throughout California, hookah use is permitted in designated lounges, which Wael Al-Delaimy, MD, PhD, professor and chief of the Division of Global Health in the UC San Diego Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, says likely furthers the false impression that hookah is a safer alternative to cigarettes. The marketing machine is even bigger for e-cigarettes, according to John P. Pierce, PhD, professor in Department of Family and Preventive Medicine and director for population sciences at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. “There is a huge push from the industry to have e-cigarettes exempted from the clean indoor air rules so that people can smoke them inside, including in schools,� says Pierce. Both Al-Delaimy and Pierce say that would be a mistake. “The argument is that e-cigarettes do not contain combusted tobacco product, which has hundreds of known carcinogens, but
analyses of e-cigarettes show they do contain carcinogens, albeit less than cigarettes,� Pierce said. “There is no known safe level of these carcinogens.� Rather than ease or erase constraints upon the public use of hookahs and e-cigarettes, many researchers and public health officials have urged the opposite. Al-Delaimy, who has extensively studied rising hookah use among California youth, thinks policymakers should consider banning hookah lounges, “thus eliminating the implication that hookah smoking is safer and more socially acceptable than cigarette smoking.� Pierce argues that e-cigarettes should be regulated. “Without clear evidence that those exposed to the exhalation from these products do not have an increased cancer risk and that young people exposed do not become more likely to become cigarette smokers, e-cigarettes should not be exempted from the clean indoor air rules.� In a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration late last year, 40 Attorneys General urged the agency to issue proposed regulations addressing advertising, ingredients and sales of e-cigarettes to minors, something the FDA has long promised to do. So far, that hasn’t happened. In the meantime, cities like Carlsbad and Vista have approved their own bans of e-cigarettes to minors and others like the San Diego Board of Supervisors are considering similar actions. u — Scott M.

Martha Smith Fine Linens sells luxury for the bed and bath By Marti Gacioch When it comes to high-quality linens and towels, Martha Smith Fine Linens carries only the best. Brands such as Scandia and Matouk Milagro top the line of goods, and from now through Feb. 1, the store’s Winter White sale is offering 15 to 20 percent discounts on core down, sheeting, towels and rugs. Storeowner Michele Babcock is the San Diego dealer for Scandia down bedding, and sateen and percale sheets. In addition to Scandia, Babcock also selects her bedding from 10 other high-end sheet vendors, including Matouk Milagro of Portugal, maker of Egyptian cotton sheets (sateen and percale), throws and baby blankets. Matouk also makes the finest of towels that provide fluffy, soft, cotton absorbency. Matouk towels are well known for their zero-twist yarn that helps prevent snagging. “While Matouk offers about 12 different brightly colored towels, white and ivory are still the most popular choices for both towels and sheets from all the makers,” Babcock said, “I stock the most popular sheets in the shop, but I can order any maker’s colors, prints and monograms for customers.”
Martha Smith Fine Linens also offers luxury women’s sleepwear, including pajamas, nightgowns, robes and slippers suited for the taste of her clients in the 4070 age range. Babcock features the
luxuriously comfortable French brands Marigot, Canat and Teccia, Calida, and the Canadian line Frou Frou. Her shop also carries lush robes by Kashwére in pastels and natural tones.
At several tradeshows each year, Babcock said she shops for cotton, linen and silk pajamas and nightgowns in the colors and prints she likes (lighter colors in the spring, warmer tones in the winter) and “with both my blonde and brunette customers in mind,” she said. Her shop’s collection of decorative bathroom accessories features cosmetic bags, tissue boxes, soap pumps, wastebaskets, picture frames and mirrors. Gift items include Supracor mitt scrubbers, luscious triple-milled Mistral soaps, and fragrant lotions, bubble baths, room sprays and body and home scents from Antica Farmacista. Babcock said that when she purchased the shop from the original founder Susan Richardson in 2006, she brought 25 years of retail experience working for Sak Fifth Avenue to Martha Smith Fine Linens. Richardson opened the shop in 2000 and named it after her grandmother who gave her a love for fine linen. u — Martha Smith Fine Linens is at 7717 Fay Ave. (858) 459-8642. marthasmithfinelinens.com The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

From Community Planning, A9 PDO committees, was approved 16-0-1. Another successful motion (15-0-5), made by trustee Gail Forbes, rejected the project based on its dark stain and color palette, which does not conform to pastel shades required of commercial buildings in the PDO.

n Hillel update: LJCPA members also delayed discussion of a re-circulated draft environmental impact report (EIR) for the proposed Hillel Center for Jewish Life, a religious student hub proposed near the UC San Diego campus. The comment period to review minor revisions to the re-circulated EIR has been extended to Feb. 11. Hillel representative Michael Rabkin said he was not notified that the LJCPA would discuss the EIR until the day of the meeting, adding he feels the relationship between Hillel and community advisory groups has grown “adversarial.” Hillel established a
similar student center near San Diego State University with little incident. Early last year, an ad hoc committee of the LJCPA pored over an earlier version of the EIR, producing a 10-page response outlining its concerns. Following a motion by trustee Janie Emerson, who also serves on the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC), the LJCPA voted to send the item back to the PRC for further review at its next meeting, 4 p.m. Jan. 28 at La Jolla Rec Center. The LJCPA will revisit the issue afterward, during its Feb. 6 meeting. “I know it will make a long evening, but I don’t think this is a project that should rightly be short-circuited even though we’ve seen it many times,” Emerson said. n Consent agenda: All items on LJCPA’s January consent agenda were pulled for further discussion, except for the PRC’s recommendation to approve permits to demolish and rebuild a two-story single-family residence at 8347 La Jolla Shores Drive (the new address will be listed on Calle de la Garza).
Items pulled for discussion at a future LJCPA meeting include: The Reserve development on Country Club Lane (located on property formerly owned by the Copley newspaper family); amendments to permits for a Bird Rock home rebuild at 5372 Calumet Way; a 3,100-square foot addition to the Qin home at 2604 Hidden Valley Road; and permits to demolish and rebuild a two-story home at 8490 Whale Watch Way (the latter two items pulled by the applicants). n Coastal study plea: Former trustee Mike Costello, who holds a master’s degree in biology, offered a presentation on the need for the LJCPA to send the city a letter requesting officials initiate a comprehensive, scientific study of La Jolla’s beaches and rocky shores (largely in response to the pinniped population explosion at Casa Beach/Children’s Pool and La Jolla Cove). The LJCPA instead passed a motion stating that it “supports finding a permanent solution to the stench at the La Jolla Cove that does not compromise other beaches in
the area.” “The effort here is to try to get the city to do something,” Costello said. n Cove lifeguard tower: Erin Demorest, a representative for District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner, said construction on the new lifeguard tower at La Jolla Cove is scheduled to begin at the end of this month. n Vacation rental talk: The next public meeting of a LJCPA ad hoc committee formed to discuss residents’ concerns related to vacation rentals in La Jolla will be at 5 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3 at La Jolla Rec Center. The group met for the first time Jan. 6. n Trustee forum: A forum for prospective LJCPA trustees will be from held during the LJCPA’s next meeting, 6 p.m. Feb. 6 at La Jolla Rec Center. Elections will be held at the March meeting. Candidates must have attended at least three LJCPA meetings in the last 12 months to be considered (which may include February 2014). Interested persons should e-mail a candidate statement to info@lajollacpa.org u

A letter to my neighbors in La Jolla
Resident shares safety lessons after home break-in By Beau Gayner thought I’d take a few minutes and write down the series of strange events that occurred in our home last night. We live on Waverly Avenue, north of La Canada. Our home is a busy hub of perpetual motion with young kids, two dogs and two cats. Additionally, we have a full-time nanny, and I work 100 percent of the time from a home office. To top it off, our house is lit up like a prison yard. Additionally, I am an avid hunter and posses many weapons, all locked in biometric fireproof safes, all bolted in concrete. I consider myself an expert dead shot with every weapon I chose to own. Hundreds of hours in the field and the range give me a high level of comfort with weapons for both hunting and defense of my family, if needed. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I don’t consider myself an easy target for burglars. Nonetheless, at 12:30 a.m. Jan. 18, a burglar broke into our home. With three children sleeping, and in-laws in the guestroom, I was jarred awake by the screaming of our ADT alarm. I jumped out of bed and retrieved a Glock 20 handgun from one of my safes, checked the alarm pad and turned off the alarm. The code indicated that the motion alarm had been set off in my office, which is detached from the house, probably 40 feet from my backdoor steps. I grabbed both dogs and headed to the backyard. I immediately noticed that the side gate was open. Looking down at my office, which was pitch black, I noticed that the door was closed. For the first time in a very long time, I had decided to turn off the office light I always leave on, in an effort to show the kids that dad turns off lights, too! Without the ability to see into the office, I retreated back into the safety of the residence. Still not sure if I’d left the gate open when I brought trash out, several things just seemed out of place. I had forgotten to lock my sideentry gate leaving an easy entry via the side. The second gate that opens onto the yard was open (I don’t remember ever leaving it open), but thought maybe someone in the house did. With a ton of adrenalin pulsing through me, I did what any homeowner would do. I locked the backyard door, turned off the houselights and reset the alarm. It was now 12:40 a.m. I sat in my family room with my Glock 20 and dogs, and didn’t take my eyes off the office front door. At 1:25 a.m., I decided that there was no one in the office and I was going to head off to bed. One last glance to the office and a dark shadow, a person dressed in black quickly came out of the door! I was able to get a good look at the perpetrator as he quickly made his way up the side of my house. I caught a great profile view of a dark-skinned male, 5’8” to 5’10”, medium build, black watch cap, black shirt and jacket, black pants and shoes with my black leather Tumi bag slung over his shoulder. I immediately called 911 and reported the break-in. The San Diego Police arrived at my house within five minutes. I was still on the phone with 911. In preparation of their arrival, the 911 dispatcher asked me to secure my weapon(s) and place the dogs in a room. Once I saw the police were on the property, I complied with her request. She asked me not to open the house until the police had completed a walkthrough of the exterior. Within five minutes, two
may have simply found the bag and that the items may not be mine. I needed to be 100 percent sure that he was in fact the perpetrator of the crime; police did not want to send an innocent individual to jail. We arrived at the location in five minutes, and Officer Vollmar and Officer Cary Ochab had a brief discussion. The alleged perpetrator was removed from the back of the squad car and I was quickly able to identify him as the individual who had broken into my home. I was extremely relieved. The suspect was placed back in the squad car and I was asked to examine the items on the hood of Officer Ochab’s SUV. My MacBook, power cords, Tumi leather bag and checkbook were all accounted for. Officer Ochab had me input my password into the computer to prove it was mine. I shook hands with the officers and was provided with a ride back home, happy and surprised that my items had been returned to me within two hours of their unfortunate departure.
I
Here are things I would do differently:
Residents can report any suspicious activity to the police department at (858) 755-0355. uniformed officers approached my backyard door. I opened the door and began answering their questions. Two more officers came to the front door. There were six police cars outside the house. I walked one of the officers down to the office, and he instructed me not to touch anything and also told me where I could walk, being careful not to disrupt any potential evidence. I took a quick visual inventory and let them know that my 20-inch MacBook Pro, power cords, leather Tumi briefcase and a checkbook were missing. This information was shared over the radio and to all officers on site. The stolen laptop had a very long alphanumeric pass code, an encrypted harddrive, additional break-in features, including its ability to take a picture and send that picture with longitude and latitude to my secure e-mail address every time an incorrect pass code was entered and Lo Jack for Laptops. I called Lo Jack with the police, only to be told they couldn’t find my name in their system. The subscription is paid in 1- to 3-year intervals. I likely paid only a year, but their inability to find my name at all in their database was very disappointing. I had registered the product upon installation. By 2:50 a.m. the CSI team had come and gone and the last officer was leaving the house. I thanked them for all their help, reset the alarm and headed off for bed. At 4:30 a.m. I was awoken by my youngest dog barking at the front door. Looking through the shutters, I saw a police officer Tim Vollmar. I disarmed the alarm and opened the front door. Officer Vollmar informed me he possibly had good news; police believed they recovered my stolen items and needed me to identify them, as well as provide a positive or negative identification of the detained suspect who had my items. Officer Vollmar offered to drive me up to the stop location on La Jolla Scenic Drive, where the suspect and my possessions were waiting. He spent several minutes explaining that even though this individual was stopped while riding a bicycle unsafely, he may not be the suspect who robbed my home. He informed me that he
n Always, always, always lock all your doors and windows! I check every window and door every night before going to bed. It’s a ritual that continues to serve my family well. n Lock outbuildings — offices, sheds and guesthouses and make sure these structures are all hooked into the home security system. I added the alarms to my office only a month ago and I’m sure glad I did. n When the alarm goes off — CALL 911! I have monitoring by ADT — unfortunately, I turned off the alarm system before it had a chance to call ADT and report the alarm. If I’d waited at least 60 seconds before disarming the system, it would have called 911 and dispatched the police. The suspect would have been found at that time hiding in the dark office. n Despite the fact I’m proficient with the weapons I own, I’m not proficient at shooting people. Would I (could I) shoot someone who was breaking into the house and threatening my family? Without a doubt. If I were fortunate enough to just wound him and stop him, a plaintiff’s attorney, likely the ACLU, would be suing me before he was released from the hospital for use of “unnecessary” deadly force. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Better to just call the police. The officers made it very clear that they prefer to answer a false alarm then have a homeowner “do the dirty work” of sniffing out bad guys in the dark. n If you use tracking services like Lo Jack for your PC, make sure you keep the subscription current. n Light, lights and more lights! I’ve been growing tired of the ridiculous SDGE bills for all the lights we have on, day and night, but they are worth it! Bad guys, even ones dressed in black, can’t make a clean get away if you can see them! My yard was lit up like a prison and it’s the only reason I was able to identify the thief. As I walk through both lower and upper Hermosa, as well as Bird Rock, I’m constantly amazed at how dark this neighborhood is! Not even porch lights! Turn on your lights! In conclusion, I want to thank the 911 operators and the San Diego Police Department for an incredible job well done, especially Officers Cary Ochab, Carl Pira and Tim Vollmar. We are safer because of their dedication and attention to detail. u

Re: Presence of sea lions at La Jolla Cove Has anyone considered the influence of kayakers on the habits of the sea lions in and around La Jolla Cove? When I first arrived in La Jolla in 2002, and for several years afterward, the sea lions seemed to stay in the area below the Coast Walk, northeast of the cave. However, in the past few years, the sea lions in this location were subject to an apparent increase in traffic and disturbance from kayakers crossing over from La Jolla Shores. I don’t have statistics on this; perhaps others who have observed more closely can comment, but it seems to me that this disturbance from kayakers might have pushed the sea lions to relocate to the Cove — where kayaks are not allowed. The screenshot above (from Google satellite view) clearly illustrates the situation. I propose that the city should work with kayak tour operators to come up with a temporary plan to divert kayaks away from the preferred sea lion haul-out spots on a trial basis. I would consider not only the direct presence of the kayaks in the haul-out areas, but also the possibility that the kayak traffic interferes with access to and from the sea lion fishing grounds from these haul-out spots (those more familiar with sea lion behavior can assess whether this is a reasonable possibility). Perhaps, after a few months of peace in those areas, the sea lions will return there and leave the Cove alone. John Tellew La Jolla
This is a 1961 photo of my 5-year-old son and his friends swimming in the “Children’s Pool” in La Jolla. His younger brothers and their friends also played and swam there. Their offspring never will.

Where was our councilmember in the fight to rid Cove stench? Filing the lawsuit against the city to “fix” the animal waste stench wafting through our community is really an indictment of our Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who (seems) more interested in banning plastic bags than in improving our business community. Democrats like to do “feel good stuff” versus doing what will enhance the prospects for business and personal successes. u Lou Cumming La Jolla

La Valencia Head Chef Daniel Barron (left) and Café La Rue Chef Stephen Gage serve up Lamb Shank Pot Pie and Filet Mignon Flatbread. From La Valencia, A1 “Some regulars are already coming back, sitting at the bar. They love it.” Re-envisioning of the space formerly housing both the old Café La Rue and the dark and dated (albeit beloved) Whaling Bar were all part of a $10 million renovation Pacific Companies vowed to invest when it purchased the historic, 112-room hotel in 2011. The $1.2 million renovation of Café La Rue, including colorful terrazzo flooring, walnut accents, leather banquettes and chairs, Venetian plaster ceilings and European art deco lamps was inspired, in large part, by the paintings of the late Wing Howard, the hotel’s former artist-inresidence (who painted the murals to settle his hotel debt). Alongside already popular menu items, such Chef Daniel Barron’s Lamb Shank Pot Pie and house-smoked bacon (served on artisan bread with maple chili sage dip), regulars will find comfort in modern interpretations of some of the establishment’s most popular menu items, including Paella, Fish and Chips, Filet Mignon Flatbread and The Whaler, a frothy drink concocted of Kahlua, Crème de Cacao and brandy ice cream (inspired by the house drink of the same name, created in 1964 by recently retired bartender, Rey Arcibal). Dibella said those with a soft spot for the Whaling Bar — formerly frequented by the likes of Raymond Chandler, Gregory Peck and Theodore Geisel — were mostly “novelty regulars,” those who came in once a year for a birthday, anniversary or special occasion, which was not enough to sustain business. “We want to make sure it’s not a novelty room anymore,” Dibella said, adding that the Whaling Bar is a legacy that cannot be reproduced or replaced. “We have to make sure that we’re reopening something that takes on its own legacy.” The formerly one-sided bar has been replaced with a granite, u-shaped bar that
Three of four artworks by La Valencia hotel’s former artist-in-resident, Wing Howard, remain on the walls in the remodeled Café La Rue. The bright colors of the room were inspired by the iconic paintings. The works were recently appraised at between $45,000 and $70,000 apiece.
The ‘Drury,’ one of six signature cocktails at Café La Rue named after La Jolla streets, is made from Hendricks gin, St. Germaine, lemon, cucumber, mint and soda water.

Hotel management has rechristened happy hour as “The Appointment” — another nod to the hotel’s past. A former retail shop that existed in the same space for two decades after the hotel’s 1926 opening was called “La Cita” (Spanish for “the appointment”). Six specialty drinks are named after La Jolla streets (and one lane): The Prospect, Herschel, Ivanhoe, Drury, Coast and Fay.

Though the iconic Whaling mural is now in storage, adorning the walls are three colorful pastel murals, reproductions of French art deco scenes Howard created for Café La Rue’s 1947 opening (and recreated by the artist in 1977). The paintings served as inspiration for the restaurant’s color palette and design, which by late February will include a six-table sidewalk café. Wing Howard’s son, Point Loma artist Harrison Howard, served as a consultant on the project, working alongside Dibella with Los Angeles-based Paul Darrell Designs. “The impetus for the room was how do we respect the legacy of the space — and the art was the easy decision,” Dibella said.

Award winning chef and molecular gastronomy advocate Daniel Barron — whom Dibella said was brought aboard last year to “shake up food and beverage” — borrowed inspiration from various regions of Europe. However, the produce and meat is all sourced locally, including chickens grown at a farm in Alpine specifically — and sustainably — for the hotel. The animals are fed leftover lettuce, celery and other veggies from the hotel’s two kitchens. The beef is raised on a cooperative in Utah, while local ranches supply pork for Barron’s charcuterie, prepared meats such as bacon, ham and sausage (some of which, like the guanciale, or pork cheek served on flatbread, Barron smokes in-house). In the near future, the menu will also include a pine nut, spinach and roasted tomato flatbread; two more salads; and two new deserts — a beignet (deep-fried French fritter dusted in sugar) with dulce de leche, whipped cream and chocolate, and a hot cinnamon roll stuffed with caramelized banana and chocolate. u

BOYS SOCCER: The Bishop’s School Knights 2, La Jolla Country Day School Torreys 1
Bishop’s switches attack, overcomes La Jolla Country Day By Ed Piper Down 1-0 to La Jolla Country Day School at halftime at home, Bishop’s School coach Malcolm Tovey switched his Knights to a 3-4-3 formation to push more players closer to the goal. The tactic was successful, as Bishop’s scored two, second-half goals and prevailed over the Torreys in a Coastal League match Jan. 7, 2-1. Bishop’s maintained a 4-5-1 formation throughout the first half. But the Knights weren’t able to net a goal, finding themselves looking up from a deficit. Bishop’s assistant coach Jase Scarvaci pointed out that the 3-4-3 is riskier than the 4-5-1, because fewer defenders are back to help protect their goal. But it applies a lot more pressure on the opponents, and makes longer passes possible and provides more shot attempts. A header by freshman Tanner Coleman in front of the goal on a corner kick in about the 70th minute of regulation time served as the go-ahead goal. Coleman’s shot turned out to be the winning goal. Shortly after the start of the second half, senior captain Grant Brutten brought the Knights’ even at 1-1 on his trademark “Thunderbolt” shot — a right-footed blast from 25 yards out into the top left corner of the goal. Brutten had two previous “Thunderbolts,” as his team calls them, this season. Country Day sophomore Philip Lee scored his sole goal in the first 10 minutes of the
Chris Alleyne of The Bishop’s School goes above La Jolla Country Day School’s Alex Bigeriego (22) to head the ball away from the Knights’ goal to defend a slim 2-1 lead in closing minutes of regulation Jan. 14. Also in view are Grant Brutten (24), Will Caples (9), and goalie Jakue Aguerre (rear right) of Bishop’s, and Philip Lee (far right) of Country Day. Ed Piper game. His shot was set up by Ben Coden, who won a “50-50” (the ball up for grabs by either player) against the goalkeeper. That marks his fourth goal of the season. “We live for these games against Country Day, and Parker,” said Daniel Cohn, Knights junior defender out with a toe injury for two to four weeks and unable to play against
LJCD. “We run LJ.” Teammate and captain Ian Caples, interviewed before the game, as he was sitting out due to ACL surgery scheduled for Jan. 17, said a strategy was to “keep the ball on the ground.” That means, “If we pass the ball around a lot, we keep possession and the other team doesn’t have the ball and we
have it. That’s a good thing for our team. We’ll be able to tire the other team out.” Bishop’s was successful in controlling the ball, as the Knights dominated both halves at the time of possession. The ball rarely entered their defensive half of the field, especially in the second half. Country Day, though losing to Bishop’s, shut out Santa Fe Christian 2-0 at home two days later. Senior forward Nick Hawkins scored the first goal, assisted by Sean Shevel. Grayson Lyman scored the second goal on a penalty kick. LJCD moves to 1-2 in league, 5-4-2 overall. Said LJCD coach Jerry Fleischhacker of the loss to Bishop’s, “It was a tough game. We put up a good fight playing without two of our key players. I think they were missing some players, too.” Torrey Jose “Fofa” Arriola was at a soccer camp, which under CIF rules, requires the student athlete to sit out two games when he returns. Commented Cohn, “We’re a little down with players now. We have a lot of injuries. We have a really good young team. We’re giving a lot of young players a lot of playing time right now, so in the bigger games later in the season we can have them ready to go.” n Next Games: The Knights host Santa Fe Christian 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 23. The Torreys play at Francis Parker the same day in a 6 p.m. matchup, and then they host Preuss at 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25. u

BOYS BASKETBALL: The Bishop’s School Knights 65, Christian High School Patriots 32
Bishop’s School clobbers Christian High By Ed Piper Enter the mind of The Bishop’s School Knight Matt Lizanich: “If I’m looking for steals, I’m looking at (the ballhandlers’) eyes. And if their eyes are more focused on the defender guarding them, then I’ll go for the steal because they’re not focused on the ball and the pass they’re going to make.” Lizanich, a crazy ball-hawking guard, had three steals and disrupted countless other situations in the Knights’ 65-32 mauling of the San Diego Christian Patriots at home Jan. 15. That brings his season total to 29 steals, an average of 2.9 per game. The senior’s partner in crime, Eric Yu, the other starting guard for the Knights, added another three steals and is averaging 3.3 steals a game, in coach Matt Niehues’ aggressive pressure defense. Justin Woodley is not far back of the two at 2.4 steals per game. Led by their “big three,” the Knights average almost 12 steals a game. Largely as a result of the relentless pressure, and their own quick-shoot offense, the hosts kept mounting their lead, which was 27-9 after the first quarter, and 39-18 at the half. Woodley led all scorers with 17 points, on 7 of 10 shooting from the field. Yu had 13 points, Lizanich 12. The productive Yu added 7 rebounds, the versatile Woodley 6. The Knights jumped off to a 9-0 lead and never looked back. Lizanich scored the first bucket, and then he followed with a layup off his own steal to go up 4-0. Yu fed a teammate an assist for another basket. A short time later, another goal led to the rhyming announcement, “Yu for two.” The visiting Patriots (4-14) tried to keep up their own tempo, but committed a lot of mistakes. Their hosts were only too happy to accommodate them, since Bishop’s plays effectively at a high tempo. Senior Zack
Kinninger led Christian with 11 points. Bishop’s shooters have a green light to shoot threes. The team message, as Woodley said, is, “Be ready to shoot.” Yu was effective in moving the ball to get it to shooters, as was Lizanich. They have 37 and 31 assists on the season, respectively. Another asset the focused Lizanich, a sixfoot tall senior, brings to the attack is his long-range shooting. He had seven threepointers in a game last season. This year he is shooting an excellent 38 percent from three-pointer range on 28 of 74. Said Yu of his synergy with Lizanich, “We’re really aggressive off ball; that’s where we get most of our offense from — especially because Lizanich is a great shooter from the perimeter. So we can drive and kick and spread it out when we have to, and also on fastbreaks we can get out and run. We run a lot in practice, so when we get in games, we rely on our conditioning to out-run our opponents, and we saw that here.” Commenting on the season, thus far, Coach Niehues said, “We’re pretty young. Both freshmen (Woodley and reserve guard Cullen Bedingfield) have really impressed, have stepped up in everything — getting to practice on time, getting to games on time. They step up in games. Good kids.” Bishop’s (8-5) suffered a loss to Army-Navy Jan. 17, falling 59-50. The Knights have an important Coastal League game Friday, Jan. 24, at Santa Fe Christian, with a varsity doubleheader: boys at 7 p.m., girls at 6 p.m. Next, the boys play a non-league game Tuesday, Jan. 28 at Calvin Christian. u

The Map at Kellogg Park has been fenced off due to safety concerns, and Friends of La Jolla Shores and T.B. Penick have been meeting to come to a resolution. Ashley Mackin
Meetings over Shores Map are cited as ‘productive’ By Ashley Mackin In an effort to come to a resolution regarding The Map project — an educational art installation depicting the ocean canyons off La Jolla Shores at Kellogg Park currently roped off due to its crumbled condition — representatives from Friends of La Jolla Shores and contractors T.B. Penick have met several times in the last six months, and the overall tone is positive. “We’ve had meetings and discussions with different people within the Penick organization,” said Friends of La Jolla Shores spokesperson William Lerach. “The recent tone of the discussions has been cooperative but we have a long way to go with finding an acceptable solution to the problem.” Friends of La Jolla Shores raised the funds for the construction and installation of The Map. Said Tim Penick, president of the company hired to construct the Map,

“everyone is bringing ideas to the table and we’ve had some really productive meetings.” However, Lerach said there is no foreseeable timeline as to when they might reach resolution or any repair might take place. “We’re optimistic, but we have a long way to go,” he said. Friends of La Jolla Shores allege T.B. Penick made claims that the laminating substance Lithocrete, which covers the map and keeps the decorative crushed glass underneath in place, would be durable under the beach conditions. But over the last few years, the Lithocrete has cracked and come apart. The Map is currently roped off and the city has labeled it a “safety hazard” until it can be repaired. On June 20, 2013, Friends of La Jolla Shores announced they had filed suit against T.B. Penick due to The Map’s deterioration. However, Lerach said their court date has been stayed until the beginning of April. u

Chess champion Varun Krishnan is no rookie
V
arun Krishnan is the reigning 11th grade National Chess Champion and holds the title of National Master in Chess. Born in Austin, Texas, he moved to La Jolla with his parents when he was eight years old. Varun is also the youngest Southern California Open State Champion, and has been named to the All American Chess Team six times — the highest national honor attainable by a young chess player. Varun qualified and competed as part of the U.S. team in the World Youth Chess Championships in Turkey and Brazil. Varun is a junior at La Jolla High and he taught his younger brother, Ajay, to play chess. Ajay bagged second place in the fourth-grade National Chess Championship. Varun loves to travel and is curious to know how things work in other parts of the world.
How did you come to be interested in the game of chess? When I was in kindergarten, I took chess classes at my school; eventually I got hooked and started to play in tournaments, and things took off from there. Who or what inspires you? Many people inspire me. Perhaps my two biggest inspirations are Michael Jordan and Ben Franklin. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would send invitations to Abraham Lincoln, Michael Jordan, Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy, Ladanian Tomlinson, Mahatma Gandhi, Ben Franklin and Dwight Howard. What are your five favorite movies of all time? “Avatar,” “Harry Potter,” “The Exorcist,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” and “Titanic.”

La Jolla Cultural Partners
hen I was visiting my son at his college fraternity house a few years back, we were looking at the yearly group photos of members from previous decades on the wall, and my son was expressing disbelief that anyone could have thought those hair styles, glasses, and clothes could possibly be flattering. I said, “In another 30 years, some other guy is going to be standing in this spot saying the same thing about you.” He looked positively stricken. I have the same feeling when I’m watching Home and Garden TV shows about remodeling or finding one’s first house. I love watching the look of horror that overcomes prospective home buyers’ faces as they walk in and exclaim in dismay, “It’s so ’80s!” adding, “ALL of this has to go!” Sorry, prospective home buyers, but I remember lusting after the latest model homes featuring all-the-rage shag carpet, avocado or harvest gold appliances (instead of boring white), mirrored accent walls, wrought iron railings, large-pattern wallpaper, and the ultimate accoutrement, the sunken living room. I can therefore guarantee that in another couple decades, prospective home buyers on HGTV’s House Hunters will walk into
homes and announce, “These granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and trey ceilings have got to go!” Their Realtor will point out that painting over the red accent wall is an easy fix and that a structural engineer can be consulted as to how to get rid of that open concept layout that allowed absolutely no privacy, and add some walls for some more defined space. He will assure them that those stainless steel appliances that show every freaking fingerprint can be replaced with white ones, and those wine-glass-breaking granite countertops can be reconfigured in some eco-friendly version of Formica. It’s amazing how rabidly we can turn on styles that we once so adored. Or how good we are at euphemizing into current desirability old styles we can’t get rid of. I can’t help but notice that the “midcentury bungalow” the HGTV realtor is shilling is actually a 1950s tract house with lots of wood paneling. When my former husband and I bought our 1947 home in 1973, some rooms still sported the “in” paint colors of the 1950s: Pepto Bismol Pink and Penal Institution Green.

The restaurant is in the midst of a rebranding process, which so far has included new collateral materials and a catering menu, and an expansion of salad offerings. During the next few months, there are plans to change the café’s signature hues from red to blue, provide rental space on the patio, and even roll out a new dinner menu. “The goal is to bring France back to the cafés and really own it (the concept),” Devora Maximova, design marketing manager, said. “We want to provide the (French) atmosphere and experience for the customer.” It’s a place where people can relax on the patio and people-watch, much like the famous sidewalk eateries of Paris, or get to know each other on a first date over candlelight. Others grab a coffee and conduct casual business meetings or bring their families in for a sweet treat. A menu of traditional and modern fare is offered.

Champagne Café’s Burgundy Salade especially the cakes and pastries,” Maximova said. “We really stay true to our roots.” An array of confections is displayed in a large glass case. Among the pastries, the most popular is the triangular-shaped Jesuit, which is filled with cream and topped with slivered almonds. There’s also cinnamon rolls with nuts and swirls of glaze and brown sugar; and the moist almond-poppyseed muffin, sprinkled with slivered almonds.
See-through partitions separate Champagne’s patio from passerbys in Del Mar Highlands shopping center.
French Burgundy Salade includes poached eggs, bacon, roasted asparagus and almond slivers. Cookies abound with varieties that include chocolate chip drizzled with white chocolate; and lemon cookie, a rich and buttery shortbread covered with glaze. There are tarts and cakes, including one of Champagne’s jewels, the Princess Cake with layers of chocolate mousse and almond sponge cake and a thin, crispy praline wafer through the middle. To accompany these decadent desserts,
Guests can relax in the bistro, which will soon be redecorated.
Champagne has a number of beverages, ranging from wines to pick-me-ups such as cappuccino varieties and the seasonal Egg Nog White Chocolate Mocha. Of the three Champagne locations in San Diego County, the Del Mar Heights site is unique, as it is the only one with a bistro. Breakfast — served all day — has a range of items that encompasses everything from crepes to the American-based eggs benedict. Lunch focuses on light fare that includes Chicken Pesto Sandwich on a baguette, which is topped with Parmesan and Swiss cheeses, red onion, tomato and lettuce; the French Dip sandwich with Swiss, caramelized onions and horseradish sauce on French country bread with au jus for dipping; and an Albacore Tuna Salad Sandwich created with hard-boiled eggs, tomato and lettuce. As part of its rebranding, the café almost doubled its salad offerings. Among its new creations is the French Burgundy Salade, consisting of house greens, poached eggs, bacon, roasted asparagus, almond slivers and Dijon vinaigrette. For those concerned about gluten, options are available to satisfy sweet and savory cravings. u

true or false? Any parent or teacher who wants a boy to be successful must understand two crucial ideas: motivated engagement and discretionary effort. True, says Edmond J. Dixon, Ph.D., who has three decades experience as a teacher, parent of boys, and author of “Helping Boys Learn: Six Secrets for Your Son’s Success in School.” 1) Boys need a worthy challenge. Rivalry makes them better. The male brain responds to a challenge it deems worthy. A student, who daydreams during algebra class and appears lazy, may also pour attention and effort into mastering a skateboarding trick. Constructing a challenge for the male student will do wonders to engage his learning. 2) Boys crave legitimacy. Boys will only agree that something is meaningful or valuable if there is a valid process for establishing that value. Helping boys understand why and how learning a concept, skill or calculation has value for them will go a long way toward motivating them to learn. u

La Jolla author Doris McCoy releases eighth book
D
oris McCoy, whose books pose thought-provoking questions to influential figures, recently published her eighth book and gave the first copy to former President Bill Clinton. Clinton and his daughter Chelsea were featured in her most recent work, “Remarkable Leaders: Risk Takers Who Dare Us,” so she wanted to make sure he received a copy. She got her opportunity while attending the Health Matters Conference in nearby Palm Springs. From a previous meeting, there is a photo of McCoy and Bill Clinton in “Remarkable Leaders.” The Clintons were two of more than 80 people featured in “Remarkable Leaders,” which McCoy said she wrote to “Crack the nut of success open and see what it’s all about.” However, in looking at those who are deemed successful in different capacities,

the book changed direction and became about the risks taken by these leaders, she said. Others featured include Princess Diana, astronaut John Glen, retired Supreme Court Judge Sandra Day O’Connor, philanthropist Conrad Prebys and Nelson Mandela. The Queen of Bhutan wrote the introduction for “Remarkable Leaders,” whom McCoy met while writing her book, “The Magic of Gross National Happiness,” which explored how citizens of Bhutan – who make an average of $1,150 a year – are some of the happiest people on Earth.

“Our resulting selections are a perfect mix of live action and animation, dramatic story and abstract art, light and heavy,” Title added. The films range in length from four to 22 minutes, and come from five different countries. There will be two showings at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Sherwood Auditorium on Jan. 28, with several of the filmmakers on hand to introduce
their work, and a Q&A will follow. Cinema Society members will fill most of the seats, but once again, La Jolla Light readers are invited to attend at the members’ guest price of $20. Of all the shorts, Title’s favorite is “Broken Clouds,” an intimate father-and-son slice-of-life from Canada, which he will introduce at the screenings. “The film’s French title, ‘Ne Pas Reculer’ (Don’t back up), doesn’t mean much,” Title said. A longtime, leisure-time pilot himself, he
explained “Broken Clouds” is a pilot’s term for a patch of sky that is more than 50-percent cloudy, but can still be gotten through. “In the film, the dad is playing pilot with his kid in a carwash. It’s a beautiful, magical moment, but then you see the reality, and you’re slammed back to Earth. The metaphor is: Life can be difficult, but you can get through it. What feature film could give you so much immediacy and impact? Only a short film can do that.” u

Emmy-nominated actress takes the lead in Globe’s ‘Bethany’
Television, film and stage star Jennifer Ferrin plays a single mother down on her luck in ‘Bethany.’ Jim Cox
By Diana Saenger With the West Coast premiere of “Bethany,â€? The Old Globe Theatre’s Artistic Director Barry Edelstein continues his mission to bring new voices in the American theater to San Diego. Written by Laura Marks and directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, the drama runs through Feb. 23 at the The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. When bright, hard-working Crystal (Jennifer Ferrin) falls on bad times, she moves into a suburban house with a kind stranger. Her new roommate, Gary (Carlo AlbĂĄn), turns out not to be what she expected. What lies ahead for Crystal unfolds through the journey of “Bethany.â€? Television, film and stage actress Ferrin is rarely without a project. She has a continuing job on “Hell on Wheelsâ€?; will appear in the series “The Knick,â€? directed by Steven Soderbergh; has played in “The Following,â€? “Life on Mars,â€? “Royal Pains,â€? “The Good Wife,â€? “Unforgettable,â€? “White Collar,â€? “Nurse Jackie,â€? and “Boardwalk Empireâ€? — to name a few. “ ‘Bethany’ â€? is just right for me,â€? she said. “I’ve been looking for a play with a small ensemble, and I’m very excited to work with a female director. There’s a part in the play that talks about the power of positive thinking. I really believe in that because I was really putting this vibe out there to work on this kind of project and it came my way.â€? Ferrin characterizes Crystal as a woman

She has so much at stake and goes through so much, and that’s what drew me to this play. Because I have to constantly navigate throughout her journey, it makes the work exciting and worth the effort. “Crystal is an optimist whose charm and ability as a sales woman is at the forefront of who she is and how she moves through life. It will be interesting for the audience to see how she comes up against some real struggles where her attributes no longer work. Watching Crystal persevere with drive
and passion in these circumstances will be an inspiration to those in the theater.� Ferrin said she met director Upchurch at school, became friends, and worked with her at the Lincoln Center on “The Language of Angels.� “I had seen ‘Bethany’ in New York, and was adamant that I wanted to work with Gaye,� Ferrin said. “She’s an incredible generous director and she never makes you feel like you made a mistake, she just steers you toward a better choice — and that is such a positive experience. “ Ferrin has been nominated for two Emmys for her role on “As the World Turns.� She is classically trained and a graduate of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. u

Let’s Review WILL BOWEN
UCSD art exhibit forces you to confront how you’re feeling
H
i! How are you feeling? It’s a powerful question and one that the new art exhibition at the University Art Gallery (UAG) in the Mandeville Center on the UC San Diego campus asks you to entertain of yourself as you view the show, “And How Are We Feeling Today?” It opened Jan. 9 and will run through Feb. 14. “My hope is that anyone who approaches this show — or considers its art work or artists — will start from the question which titles the show,” explained curator Michelle Hyun. Added gallery assistant Merete Kjaer, “There are a range of works here, each of which invites you to
interact with it on many possible levels of emotional response.” There are odd things in this show: a set of three, related video installation episodes; a video linked to a motion sensor and a contraption with a pulley system; a tissue dispenser; a wispy sculpture made of hair flown in from Dublin; a written art manifesto from 1969; the resume, biography and loan payment statements of a student deep in debt; a poster installation about a Facebook project; and a room filled with pipe-like tubular bells hanging from the ceiling, each engraved with a grief statement that you read as you ring the bell. Hyun said she came up with the idea for

the exhibition after following the labor dispute of UCSD campus workers and thinking about how larger economic, political and cultural systems get into our bodies and control our thoughts and feelings. Not everyone who attended opening night liked the installation-type pieces and powerful social commentary the show presents. Hyun, who is about as brilliant and well informed a curator as you might ever encounter, creates shows that are always challenging, demanding, hard to access, and difficult to comprehend. Hyun wants you to think deeply about the work she shows, invest time, and return to the gallery for follow-ups. “If a show is easy to grasp in one viewing,” she said. “It would just be entertainment.” Many colorful patrons attended the opening reception. El-Gazelli, who came wearing an Australian Outback cowboy hat, described himself as a “sufi mystic,” who’s been coming to UAG shows for more than 20 years. El-Gazelli lamented the old days of the gallery, asking, “Where are the paintings — the fine art? I think art

is dead; this show is all about technology!” Charles Saint-Hill, who said he was a “life artist,” came wearing a Mexican Salvation Army officer cap that he bought in Tijuana for $20. He described the show as “inscrutable,” commenting, “You have to live it to penetrate it.” Armando de la Torre, a member of the Border Corps art collective, said he came to the opening to enjoy the company of friends and artists. He added that he felt the UAG gallery was consistently doing things that were appealing, but hard to understand. “You have to determine, at some point, if the show is relevant to your purposes, if you are to deepen your investment in it,” de la Torre noted. Sarah Rebolloso McCullough, Ph.D., the new associate director of the Center for Humanities at UCSD, had an enjoyable time playing the tubular bells hanging from the ceiling in the back viewing room.

Kitchen Shrink
Chinese Hot and Sour Soup with Lokshen
Catharine L. Kaufman
When moo shu meets matzo:
Horsing around Chinese New Year
S
trolling through the cookbook aisles of my local bookseller searching for something fun and creative for the Chinese New Year, two titles caught my eye: “From Lokshen to Lo Mein — the Jewish Love Affair with Chinese Food” by Donald Siegel and “The New Chinese Kosher Cookbook” by Ruth and Bob Grossman. These are likely combinations since Jewish and Chinese cuisines (and cultures) share many similarities, despite the presence of shrimp and pork in Chinese dishes that violate kashrut laws. One of the greatest mysteries among food historians is the burning question: Since the Hebrew calendar dates back to 5774, and the Chinese Lunar one only goes to 4712, how did the Jewish people manage to survive without Chinese food for 1062 years? A couple of entrepreneurial restaurateurs in my hometown of Toronto picked up this connection and launched a trendy eatery, “Ginsberg and Wong,” seamlessly blending Chinese and Jewish favorites. As an Asian food purist, I’m not a lover of the likes of Peking duck kreplach, sweet and sour brisket or egg drop matzo ball soup, but go figure, the restaurant had a
good run for many years — and was especially busy on Christmas Eve. Legendary entertainer Danny Kaye (who was Jewish), became known as a master Chinese chef, calling his kitchen “Ying’s Thing.” It was specially outfitted with a stove having metal rings to produce the super heat concentration needed to prepare authentic Asian dishes. Frequently flying guests in on his private plane, Kaye regaled them at his home with Chinese feasts. He also shared his passion by teaching Chinese cooking classes at a San Francisco restaurant in the heart of Chinatown. The approaching Chinese New Year is, in many ways, similar to the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana. Both of these holidays are a treasured time of family reunion shrouded in rituals and superstitions, while feasting on symbolic foods. Chinese families eat “jai,” a vegetarian medley of lotus seeds, nuts and noodles — a testosterone token, wishing for a crop of male offspring; dried bean curd for the fulfillment of wealth and happiness; and bamboo shoots to endow the members of the household with good health. Other foods eaten during the 15-day
n Serves 6-8 n Ingredients: • 6 cups of chicken or vegetable stock or broth • 1/2 pound of thinly sliced chicken breast (optional) • 1 can of sliced bamboo shoots • 1 can of sliced water chestnuts • 1 cake of soft tofu (12 oz.) sliced into 1/4-inch cubes or strips • 1 cup of sliced shitake mushrooms • 1 can of peeled straw mushrooms • 1/4 cup of black fungus (cloud ears), soaked in water for one hour, drained and thinly sliced • 1/4 cup of white vinegar • 2 tablespoons of garlic and chile paste • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce • 3/4 tablespoon of white pepper • 4 eggs, beaten • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil • Scallions (green part only), chopped • 6 ounces egg noodles, cooked, drained feast that begins Jan. 31 include a whole fish to symbolize togetherness, and a chicken for prosperity (the presentation includes its head, tail and feet to represent completeness). During the Jewish High-Holidays, round challah (egg bread) is served to symbolize fullness and completion and is dipped in honey for a sweet new year. Fish heads are also eaten so that “we be

Add the white pepper, vinegar, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, fungus and tofu. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Make a roux with the cornstarch and 5 tablespoons of water. Slowly add to the mixture. Bring back to a simmer and pour the eggs in a thin stream over the surface. Let stand for 10 seconds, and then gently add the sesame oil and stir. Finally, add the egg noodles. Ladle into soup bowls. Garnish with chopped scallions. Enjoy! as the head and not as the tail.” If you’re as hungry as a horse and have a yen for Asian/Jewish cuisine try celebrating this Chinese New Year with hot and sour soup and lokshen (Jewish egg noodles). It wouldn’t hurt. Have a double happy, healthy and prosperous new year! u — For additional Chinese New Year recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Bass player Nathan East to headline benefit at UCSD From UCSD Reports
Chances are you’ve listened to UC San Diego alumnus Nathan East all your life. You just may not know it — yet. East is one of the world’s top bass guitarists, a Grammy nominee who has played with the likes of jazz, rock and pop royalty from Michael Jackson and Eric Clapton, to Paul McCartney and Beyoncé. The 1978 UCSD grad (a native of San Diego and graduate of Crawford High School) will return to his alma mater for a one-time public performance “Eastbound: Home” 3-5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, in the Conrad Prebys Concert Hall on UCSD campus. Proceeds will be used for scholarships for students Nathan East attending UCSD’s Thurgood Marshall College who graduated from The Preuss School UCSD, a charter school for low-income students who strive to become the first in their families to graduate from college. East’s concert arrives on the heels of a performance for millions around the globe at the 56th annual Grammy Awards Jan. 26, where he will join Daft Punk to perform their chart-topping hit, “Get Lucky,” along with Pharrell and Stevie Wonder. East provided the baseline for the song, which is nominated for 2013 Record of the Year. The UCSD appearance will feature East performing with local jazz musicians and

friends, members of his family, and former UCSD professors including Cecil Lytle. The event is part of the annual Lytle Benefit Concert series, which raises funds for undergraduate scholarships—a cause that is especially close to East’s heart. “In addition to playing with the likes of Clapton and Madonna, East has topped Billboard jazz charts with his band Fourplay, and will release his first solo album, ‘Nathan East,” on March 25. East began his music career as a teen when he was hired by Barry White for a national tour. He became a member of the Love Unlimited Orchestra playing Madison Square Garden, the Apollo Theater and
other major venues. In 1978, East earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance from UCSD. He began work on a master’s degree when instructor Bertram Turetzky suggested he already had enough education and it was time for him to move to Los Angeles to start his lucrative music career. “The rest, as they say, is history,” said Lytle, who is a former professor and friend.

Jessel has also produced and written for “The Carol Burnett Show,” “ The Love Boat,” “The Dean Martin Show” and others.
Though people not entirely familiar with cabaret often associate it with seniors and songs from the Great American Songbook, Moore said, “rock, jazz, country, folk and a variety of other music genres and age groups are firmly in the mix of performers and audiences that either perform or attend cabaret events. “Cabaret is a style of presentation by any artist and genre of music, whereby the performer interacts with the audience to relate something about him or herself via their stories,” such as performers like Harry Chapin, Sting or Dan Fogelberg, he said. “These artists, these storytellers, offer up an intensely personal performance of song and stories, delivered in a simple and honest way. The audience participates in a direct emotional conversation with the artist, and leaves feeling connected and personally touched.” u

From Art Exhibit, B10 technology affects us, said she liked the inter-activity of the exhibits and how they provoked different conversations with fellow patrons. She thought the theme of the show was important because “the systems we live in effect the way we feel.” On opening night, performance artist and visual arts student Fedora Archive (aka Cassie Thornton), explained her astronomical and growing student loan debt, delivering one of her feminist performance art emotional breakdowns about it. “I say what most people are afraid to say about power, money or what is hurting us,” Archive claimed. “Nowadays, in education, we are likely getting much more debt than learning out of the situation. I’m using my own emotions as a weapon that will cut

I have breakdowns about the value of education, corruption in the UC system, and violence of financialization.” The value of this show is that it causes you to begin some self-examination and self-contemplation about how you are feeling out there in the world. It’s a bit painful at first, but you begin to look at your bodily sensations, emotions and interpersonal feelings, which seem to be personal, but are actually arising from participation in our current economic and cultural system, referred to as “Late Capitalism.” Many people are feeling anxiety, fear, dread and even despair about the economic and cultural conundrum that we seemed to have worked ourselves into.

going. We never have enough and always need more, and there is always another bill to pay. It’s so confusing to sort out and make conscious what are our personal anxieties, and what are the anxieties inherent in our cultural system; how the politics of everyday life direct and control our lives and interests, and shape our desires. Sometimes we end up focusing on our shortcomings instead of seeing our problems as arising from the milieu we are immersed in, and often sleepwalk through. All too often we can be led to act irrationally or buy into fears that might not be true. After a painful period of self-searching, this show leads you to liberation,
providing some tools to think with and to look at society and at our fears and worries with, which leads to a measure of distance or detachment, and finally, to the possibility of a more creative response to the situations in which we find ourselves.

San Diego Police seeking public assistance to identify wallet snatchers at local market San Diego County Crime Stoppers and investigators from the San Diego Police Department’s Elder Abuse Unit are asking for assistance from the public to help identify and locate two unknown male suspects wanted for grand theft. Detectives said on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2013, around mid-afternoon, an 80-year-old female victim was shopping at the Whole Foods market at 8825 Villa La Jolla Drive. The victim placed her open purse, containing her wallet, in the top basket of her shopping cart as she walked through the store. The two unknown suspects followed the victim while she shopped inside the store. While in the frozen foods section, one of the suspects distracted the victim by asking for the location of a food item. As the victim helped the suspect, the
second suspect took the wallet from inside her purse. The victim did not see the suspect take the wallet, but realized quickly the wallet was missing. Both suspects were last seen walking out of the store. Both suspect images, as well as video of the grand theft, were captured by a surveillance camera; the images can be viewed on YouTube at the following link: http://youtu.be/S9BxudqIb_o Anyone with information on this case should call the SDPD Elder Abuse Unit at (619) 446-1063 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477. Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest in this case. Anonymous tips can also be submitted at sdcrimestoppers.com u

Scripps Health offers tips as flu surges in San Diego County n Get vaccinated, check with your doctor if you feel ill From Scripps Health Reports
With cases of seasonal flu rising quickly across San Diego County, Scripps Health is reminding local residents of some basic tips for keeping influenza at bay and dealing with the illness if it strikes. “The sudden surge in local flu cases this year might have caught some people off guard, but there is still time to get a flu shot,” said Scripps Chief Medical Officer James LaBelle, M.D. “Vaccination, frequent hand washing and taking extra precautions around those who are ill are the best defenses against infection.” People who are 65 and older, children under 2, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions (including asthma, heart disease, neurological conditions, blood disorders, a weakened immune system or are morbidly obese) face a higher risk of developing flu-related complications. “If you feel ill, I’d encourage you to check with your physician,” Dr. LaBelle said.
Flu season tips
1) Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent getting sick. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for enough antibodies to build up in the body to Chuck Helsel La Jolla Light Ad.pdf 4/23/2012 2:05:14 PM protect against infection. 2) Wash your hands often with soap

and water. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Avoid contact with sick people. 3) Watch out for flu symptoms, which can include a fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. 4) If you become sick, stay home from work and school to avoid infecting others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone without using fever-reducing medicine. 5) Cover your coughs and sneezes. 6) Check with your doctor to see if you should be treated with an antiviral drug. 7) Avoid the emergency room unless you are suffering from more serious flu symptoms, which include trouble breathing or shortness of breath; chest or abdomen pain or pressure; sudden dizziness; confusion; severe or persistent vomiting; flu symptoms that improve but then return with fever and a worse cough. 8) For children, seek emergency medical help if they are breathing fast or are having trouble breathing; have bluish skin color; aren’t drinking enough fluids, aren’t waking up or interacting; are so irritable they don’t want to be held; have a fever with a rash; aren’t able to eat; don’t shed tears when crying; have significantly fewer wet diapers than normal; flu symptoms improve but then return with fever and a worse cough. u
