Webcam to monitor seals goes up at Children’s Pool By Pat Sherman A surveillance camera was installed atop the condemned lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool beach Jan. 24, which will be used to monitor harbor seals, and ostensibly potential harassment of pregnant seals and their pups. It was unclear at press time whether permits were required for installation of the camera, or who at city hall approved its installation. Once functional, the live video feed will be available for viewing on the website of the Western Alliance for Nature (WAN), founded by Larry Wan,

Forgotten survey dusted off as potential preservation tool n Historical society hopes document will help safeguard La Jolla’s characterdefining features By Pat Sherman A comprehensive, 308-page survey of La Jolla’s cultural landmarks — from its historic buildings and majestic trees to its bridges, view corridors and cobblestone-lined curbs — has been pulled from a shelf for further consideration, nearly a decade after its completion. The draft document was finished in 2003 and submitted to the city, though those who worked on it say the survey was shelved because the city didn’t have the budget to pay for staff to review it. Diane Kane, who serves on La Jolla’s Development Permit Review (DPR) committee, facilitated a presentation on the longforgotten survey at the DPR committee’s Jan. 8 meeting. The La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) retrieved the survey following media inquiries about the removal of one of two old ficus trees at the Top of the Cove restaurant last year — and the question of whether La Jolla’s planning and development documents offer protection for La Jolla’s significant trees. “(We) remembered that we had this cultural
This bridge on Castellana Road (circa 1930) is included in a cultural landscape survey that historical society members are hoping to have adopted by the city. The survey will serve as a tool to preserve La Jolla’s landmarks when threatened by development or planning. Photos by Pat Sherman landscape survey that nobody had ever looked at,â€? said Kane, who was a staff planner for San Diego’s Historical Resources Board when it was commissioned. “We started looking at it and ‌ we were so impressed by what we saw that we scheduled it for our (DPR) agenda this month ‌ to see if it’s something that, not only the historical society can use, but that community groups can use for planning purposes. “It’s more detailed than the La Jolla Community Plan,â€? Kane added. “The plan is a very broad-brushed
vision for the community and this is much more focused. It really clearly documents things with maps and with photographs and written descriptions.� Former LJHS member and architect Milford Wayne Donaldson, who served as California’s State Historic Preservation Officer until his retirement in September, was contracted by the city to produce the survey. His architectural firm had produced similar surveys on Kensington, Hillcrest and Golden Hill, though those documents were approved by the city and are
referenced today when significant landmarks are at odds with development. “Cultural landscape surveys were still pretty much on the cutting edge at the time,� Donaldson said, noting that LJHS volunteers and students helped prepare the document, which updated a historical resources inventory compiled in the 1970s by former LJHS President Patricia Schaelchlin. Once the city adopts such a survey, Donaldson said, “it becomes a nice planning document. It really helps provide a pride in the neighborhood and people

look at these (resources) a lot differently than before.� La Jolla’s cultural landscape survey includes obvious landmarks such as the Fay Avenue Bike Path, Torrey Pines City Park, Children’s Pool seawall and La Jolla Rec Center, as well as hidden gems such as two concrete, arched bridges built around 1930 and cobblestone curbs and gutters along Muirlands Drive. Significant street trees noted in the survey include various palm, ficus, juniper and coral trees, as well as Italian stone pines along the southern portion of La Jolla Boulevard.
Donaldson said when selecting buildings for inclusion in cultural landscape surveys, architects refer to criteria established by the Secretary of the Interior, which include a building’s level of integrity (or how many of its original, character-defining features remain), as well as its craftsmanship, setting, location and period of significance. “Of course, every local historical group has its own criteria that they feel is important,� he said, noting that sometimes a building

Spring Makeover

T
he shopping center at 1030 Torrey Pines Road (at Herschel Avenue) that is home to two restaurants, a market, hair salon, dry cleaners and other merchants will receive a makeover that includes renovated public restrooms, an expanded patio area and repaved parking lot.
Renovations will be finished by late March, said Asset Management Group Vice President Marilyn Schlueter. “We’re going to upgrade the bathrooms and patio area to include 30 percent more seating and give it a more contemporary look,” Schlueter said.
Additional upgrades include decorative, interlocking pavers for the patio, new landscaping, fresh paint and new planters. Pepe Stepensky, owner of Porkyland Mexican restaurant, has been a tenant in the center for three decades and says he looks forward to the renovations.
“It was about time to do something with the center and it’s going to be really beautiful,” Stepensky said. “We’re all very excited. … This location is a little piece of heaven. Now it’s going to look even better.” — Pat Sherman

People may also opt to dine in a booth on the Whaling Bar side, though the space will be used for open seating, no advance reservations accepted. The Whaling Bar will close at 11 p.m. its final evening. The remodeled Cafe La Rue is expected to open just prior to Memorial Day in May. Renovated and remodeled several times in the past 60 years, the space will again be re-crafted while maintaining the original artwork of Wing Howard as both theme and inspiration. La Valencia chose West America Corporation and VP of Operations Mike Schmidt as general contractor on the project. The team worked together on renovations for the US Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego. The new Café La Rue will include a larger bar, a signature wine vault and will maximize the architecture of the circa 1926 building by incorporating features of the hotel’s palmshaded patio as part of the dining experience. Hotel Managing Director Mark Dibella partnered with the younger son of artist Wing Howard, Harrison Howard, to determine the

said he feels it “improper” to allow a webcam to be installed on public property to promote the website of a private organization. “When cell phone antennas are placed on city-owned buildings or property, the city is provided a royalty or compensation of some kind. It would be interesting to see if WAN is paying such a fee,” he said. WAN describes itself as “a land conservancy that works with state and federal agencies, and partners with other conservancies and non-profit organizations to purchase, restore and manage critical ecosystems. … We have no paid staff. Officers and directors receive no compensation. Overhead and administrative costs are funded by the founders. Therefore, donors can make a significant contribution to conservation because 100 percent goes directly to the conservation project.”

La Jolla Elementary principal strives for continual improvement EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the seventh of a 13-part series bringing you interviews with principals of the 13 schools in La Jolla every other week. You can watch a video portion of the interview online at lajollalight.com — just click on “The Principal’s Office” image on our homepage.
By Catherine Ivey Lee ven as a child, Donna Tripi seemed destined for a life in education. On weekends, Tripi and her friends frequently rounded up the smaller children on her Long Island, New York block to play school. “My best friend and my sister would be teachers and we would do these little day schools,” she said. “And I eventually would be the principal of that little school. So I always knew what I wanted to do.” Today, Tripi is principal of La Jolla Elementary School,

Donna Tripi
Principal at La Jolla Elementary School ■ Years at the helm: 14 ■ Education: B.S. in education from St. John’s University (Queens, NY); M.S. in education from St. John’s University; Professional Diploma in K-12 Administration and Leadership from Long Island University, C.W. Post campus ■ Best part of job: Being in the classroom with students. Tripi likes to ’borrow’ students to read to them and enjoys learning from her students and teachers. ■ Least favorite part of job: Dealing with budget concerns. ‘It’s getting better, though. The passing of Proposition 30 and the governor’s new focus on education is already impacting us in a positive way as we plan next year’s budget.’ ■ My alarm clock goes off at: 4:30 a.m. ■ Favorite energy snack/drink: Green smoothies made with kale, chard, chia seeds, wild spinach and flax seeds purchased from the LJES Farmers’ Market ■ Pets: Six house cats and several strays ■ What I do to relax: Have friends over, play board games, read ■ What’s on my night stand: Various novels and professional reading materials ■ Favorite book or quote: ‘Not to go out and do your best is to sacrifice the gift.’ — Steve Prefontaine
grown up, Tripi herself is still in school on weekends: Each Sunday after attending church, Tripi heads to work until the afternoon. “It’s my quiet time,” she said. Tripi, a dedicated individual who rises at 4:30 a.m. each day, works out nearly every evening and keeps her energy up with green veggie smoothies, has a career that has spanned four schools, three states and affected countless students including those at La Jolla Elementary, where she is in her 14th year as principal. “I love to watch students learn and see what they come up with in the process,” she said. Under Tripi’s watch, La Jolla Elementary School has twice been named a California Distinguished School, a recognition given to the top five percent of schools in the state. The school’s API scores have soared to among the highest in the county and enrollment has risen — by more than 100 students in the last four years alone. Despite these successes, the self-described “focused” and “intense” Tripi (“I can’t break it, I’m a New Yorker”) says she is continually striving for improvement. Arriving at school by 7 a.m., she is in meetings by 8 a.m. She typically spends several hours inside classrooms “to get to know the kids, to support teachers and identify ways to meet their needs,” she said. Afternoons are spent writing, answering e-mail or in teachers’ meetings. Work comes home, too. Tripi
often reads professional development materials in her down time. “If something new is out there, I bring it to the teachers’ attention, and we look at it and decide if it’s something we want to take on. The teachers know that I’m always out there looking for the next thing,” said Tripi. “The teachers are as dedicated to that as I am; it’s an atmosphere of continuous improvement and always wanting to make sure we’re getting better.” The supportive school ethos is one that Tripi experienced in Illinois where she relocated with her then-husband following her first teaching job (at the same Long Island school she attended as a child). She taught at a K-3 grade school in Chicago’s North Shore area and was principal of a K-4 school. The region’s support for education inspired her.
“The Chicago schools were cutting edge. The community worked together to make sure that the schools had all of the resources they needed to meet the needs of the students,” she said. It was also an experience in educational “best practices,” which made her an attractive candidate to the San Diego Unified School District when she decided to move to San Diego a decade later. Thensuperintendent Alan Bersin was embarking on a districtwide school reform effort and Tripi was hired to replace La Jolla Elementary’s principal who was among several Bersin had removed. “In the 14 years, everything about our school is different,” she said. “We have looked at every piece of our curriculum. Each year we look at our test scores and student work and say, ‘Are we doing everything we
La Jolla Elementary School ■ Type of school: Public ■ Year established: 1897 ■ Number of students: 645 ■G rade range: Kindergarten to Grade 5
can?’ We look at our fifth grade and ask, ‘What do they need to know and be able to do by fifth grade to be successful in middle school and beyond? Are they using mathematical reasoning and coming up with different strategies? In literacy, are they critical thinkers?’” And while Tripi is pleased with the school’s rise in scores, she said she is not driven by testing and chooses programs that best meet student needs, such as the school’s Everyday Math program and its science program that allows students to study Earth, physical and life sciences in depth for 4-6 weeks each. “If you have strong teaching, kids are going to do well on the testing. What drives me is what’s good for kids and what’s good for kids is that they understand the concepts that they need to be proficient or advanced at their grade level.” Tripi said she is proud of having instituted grade-level collaboratives for teachers to plan curriculum and review student work together. Tripi has also created a supportive educational community. Generous parents have transformed the school through landscaping, painting and a whimsical courtyard. The school has a family feel, she said. “I think we have families that are very pleased with what we’re doing.” n Up Next: Meet Christopher Schuck, head of school at La Jolla Country Day School, in the Feb. 14 issue.

PUMP IT UP February isn’t just about celebrating Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart; it’s about celebrating Heart Health Month! The American Heart Association (AHA) recently released a statement advising physicians to prescribe physical therapy (PT) before recommending pain relievers to patients at risk of heart disease. Some pills may actually increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. In addition, the AHA suggests trying physical therapy including exercise, weight loss and heat or cold therapy first, to address musculoskeletal conditions resulting from osteoarthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and inflammatory joint conditions. At Ability Rehab, our therapists are specialized in orthopedic and neurological PT, addressing the above and more. If you are experiencing pain, loss of mobility, decreased range of motion or flexibility, balance deficits, general fatigue or weakness, PT can help you regain your independence and regular routine. Our professional therapists will provide a full evaluation of your condition and develop an individualized treatment plan to maximize your health and wellbeing. P.S. Staying active is important in order to keep your heart pumping strong. Call Ability Rehab to find out how physical therapy can help you!

E-waste collection event Saturday at La Jolla High By Jane Wheeler For La Jolla High School students, your trash is their treasure, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2 during the fifth annual E-waste Collection Day, when La Jollans can drop off their unwanted electronic goods for free. The drop-off site is at the end of Westbourne Street near La Jolla High, off Draper Avenue. Acceptable donations include computers, monitors, laptops, cameras, scanners, televisions, DVDs, cell phones, and small household items like toasters, vacuums and microwave ovens. Anything with a screen brings in the most value. Appliances and batteries are excluded. La Jolla High PTA is sponsoring the event, with the help of students in LJHS Interact Club, ASB and environmental advocacy clubs. Each pound of electronics will be sold to benefit the PTA. The event, over the past four years, has yielded eight, 18-wheeler trucks full of used electronics — more than 60,000 pounds. Everything collected will be shredded to avoid the landfills and help benefit the environment. Students from the Interact Club are handling promotions and volunteers for the event — they created a Facebook page and solicited the help of environmental studies teacher Howard Tenenbaum, who asked all his students to hang up a flyer around town and take a photo of its location.
The LJHS Lacrosse Team will be on hand to help unload the cars. “The E-waste event is a very eye– opening volunteer opportunity because it shows the excessive amount of electronics not used that can be recycled into new products to better our society,” said sophomore Kaitlin Wheeler, an Interact Club member. There are two shifts available: 9:30 a.m. to noon, and noon to 3 p.m. To volunteer at the event, contact Wheeler at (619) 822-1120 or e-mail dwheeler@san.rr.com

FROM SURVEY, A3 may not possess the same architectural “polish” as others, though it may be associated with an important person or events, and worth of consideration. Though the city reviewed the architectural portion of the survey, Kane said it was paper-based and incompatible with today’s electronic archival systems. “By the time that survey was done it was obsolete, because everything I was working on was electronic and … could be shared among departments,” she said. In addition, Kane said that, due to some errors in the architectural portion, then District 1 City Councilmember Scott Peters asked that the city not use the survey until it could be reviewed further. “The whole thing just kind of fell through the cracks, so, at this point, the historical society is reviewing it,” Kane said.
This concrete bridge at Al Bahr and Crespo drives (near La Jolla Natural Park) is one of the items deemed worthy of preservation in a La Jolla Historic Cultural Landscape Survey completed in 2003. The portion documenting cultural landmarks such as trees, view corridors, trails and parkland, completed by San Diego landscape architect Sharon Singleton of the firm KTU+A , was produced electronically and thus can be more easily revived for current use, Kane said. “She has descriptive forms filled out for each feature, which photographs and documents it at a specific
point in time so we can track changes over time,” Kane explained. Kane said she hopes to forward the list of trees identified as “significant” in the survey to the city’s Community Forestry Advisory Board as an official document of trees the community wants protected. “That doesn’t mean that’s all the trees,” Kane said. “We need to (review) this because
Character-defining features of the Muirlands area include cobble-lined curbs and gutters (circa 1927). Photos by Pat Sherman
the information is about 10 years old.” Though the survey would help protect trees within public rights-of-way, trees on private property, such as the ficus at the Top of the Cove site, are only protected if the property owner takes steps to have the tree registered with the city as a “legacy tree.” The property owner may also request a deed restriction preventing
FREE CLASS O
its removal by future owners. According to city’s tree protection policy (which can be viewed at bit.ly/14eEhW5), the city does not restrict the removal of a designated tree if it has been deemed a threat to public safety. Singleton, whose daughter learned to drive on the streets of La Jolla while she photographed and documented landmarks from the passenger seat, said
that until the survey is officially recognized by the city, it can serve as a guide to help designate some of La Jolla’s trees as heritage (those that are 50 years or older or have a connection to a historic event, building, district or were planted by a historically significant individual, such as Ellen Browning Scripps). Kane said she plans to bring the survey before the La Jolla Parks and Beaches committee and the La Jolla Community Planning Association for consideration and input. “It’s a great document,” she said. “It tells us what La Jolla looked like in 2003 when the survey was done, and it gives you a baseline to judge change against, and to make further planning policies. What do we want to protect? Are we losing views? Are there views we could gain if we had some favorable policies in place? How do we make La Jolla a better community?”

Traffic and Transportation Board approves short-term parking additions FROM PARKING, A1 By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Traffic and Transportation (T&T) Board met on Jan. 24 to discuss proposals for some parking spots, a change of use for an office building, and potential amendments to the Land Development Code. n Four proposals came before the board regarding curb painting and a change in parking time restrictions. The board unanimously approved two of these proposals. The first was to remove the 15-minute designation on two of the four parking spaces in front of the Visitor Center at 7966 Herschel Ave., and “move them” to the new La Jolla Village Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. The two spaces on Herschel Avenue closest to Prospect Street will keep their 15-minute limitations. The parallel parking spaces on Herschel will be converted to diagonal parking spaces and two 15-minute diagonal parking spaces will be created in front of the Prospect Street Information Center.
The second parking change proposal approved was for posting signs limiting all of Glenbrook Place and Glenbrook Lane to two-hour parking. Approximately 85 percent of residents signed a petition in support, and no one came forward in opposition. The change is designed to deter student parking and crime in that area. T&T Board Chair Todd Lesser said an added benefit of restrictive parking may be increased policing of those streets. The board unanimously denied two other parking proposals. The first came from the Maserati dealership at 7747 Girard Ave., which proposed painting the curb between the corner and the alley on Pearl Street “yellow,” to designate it as a commercial loading zone to make it easier for Maserati to unload vehicles. Lesser reported that some nearby merchants were opposed to the placement of the yellow zone, though none were present to speak. The second rejected proposal was to designate
One-Hour and Two-Hour Time Limit Parking Zones Time limit parking zones are designated by signs. These zones are in effect 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., except for Sundays and these city holidays:
These parking spaces will lose the 15-minute designation, and will be redesignated in front of the new La Jolla Village Information Center. Ashley Mackin the space in front of GW Eyes Associates at 7841 Fay Ave.as a 15-minute parking space. Members of the board said there is a 15-minute zone on the same block. No one from GW Eye Associates was present at the meeting. n The board heard a proposal from the Icon Hotel Group to buy and convert the building at 1020 Prospect St., which currently

houses an office building and gallery, to a 54-room hotel and restaurant. Janay Kruger, representing the interested buyer, said there are currently 89 parking spaces in the underground parking lot. The requirement for a hotel would be one space per room, but the restaurant proposed for the ground floor would have to be considered. Lesser said
SOURCE: CITY OF SAN DIEGO
the requirement of one parking space per room takes hotel and restaurant employees into account. Kruger said the new use would minimize peak hour traffic because people come and go from a hotel at all hours, as opposed to coming in at 9 a.m. and leaving at 5 p.m. daily. Audience and board members raised several
issues that were deemed inappropriate for T & Board consideration, such as whether the Planned District Ordinance (PDO) permits another hotel and land-use issues. Lesser reminded those in attendance that the only proposed elements they could examine would be potential traffic and transportation issues. A motion was made to table the issue until after the PDO committee approves the hotel project and requires T&T Board review. The motion passed 5-1. n Also tabled (unanimously) was a request to review proposed amendments to the Land Development Code. Board member Orrin Gabsch said, “If we are being asked to opine on this, I would really like someone, possibly from the city to come to us and … thoroughly tell us what the change (would be).” n The T&T Board meets at 4 p.m. the fourth Thursday of the month at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. For more information, visit lajollacpa.org

Scientists to use smartphones for monitoring air pollution
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
C
omputer scientists in the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering have built a small fleet of portable pollution sensors that allow users to monitor air quality on a smartphone. The sensors could be particularly useful to people suffering from chronic conditions, such as asthma, who need to avoid exposure to pollutants. CitiSense sensors detect the most common pollutants emitted by cars and trucks: ozone, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. The user interface displays a smartphone reading by using a color-coded scale based on the EPA’s air quality ratings, from green (good) to purple (hazardous). The ultimate goal of CitiSense is to build and deploy a wireless network in which hundreds of small environmental sensors carried by the public relay via cell phones information to central computers where it will be analyzed and delivered to individuals, public health agencies, and the community at large.

Expanded environments produce biofuels UC San Diego biologists have demonstrated that marine algae are just as capable as fresh-water algae in producing biofuels. Scientists genetically engineered marine algae to produce five different kinds of industrially important enzymes and say the same process they used could be employed to enhance the yield of petroleum-like compounds from these saltwater algae. The ability to genetically transform marine algae into a biofuel crop means the types of environments can be expanded in which algae can be conceivably grown for biofuels. The UCSD study suggests that algal biofuels can be produced in the ocean or in the brackish water of tidelands or even on agricultural land on which crops can no longer be grown because of high salt content in the soil. In contrast, corn, which is currently used to produce ethanol biofuel, requires prime farmland and lots of fresh water. The achievement is detailed in the journal Algal Research. News release at http://bit.ly/SpD1Ko Cancer’s ability to spread In 90 percent of cancer deaths, it is the spread of cancer (metastasis) that ultimately kills the patient by impacting more tissues and functions until the body fails. Ten years ago, a hypothesis arose that metastasis exploits a
developmental process known as epithelial-tomesenchymal transition (EMT) seen in developing embryos that transforms stationary cells into mobile cells able to migrate to new locations and create new types of tissue and organs. If cancer cells had the ability to hijack EMT, they could detach from primary tumors, enter the bloodstream and seed new tumors elsewhere. That said, the hypothesis was controversial because researchers haven’t in a decade been able to find supporting experimental evidence of this ability by cancer cells. That is, until now. A team of scientists, led by researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, used a mouse model for carcinoma to show that activation of an EMTinducing gene (called Twist1) is sufficient to turn “ON” the EMT switch promoting carcinoma cells to circulate in blood. Equally importantly, the researchers found that turning “OFF” the EMT switch at distant sites is essential for tumor cells to proliferate and form metastases. Other collaborators in the study are from The SanfordBurnham Medical Research Institute (La Jolla) and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (Cambridge, Mass.). Findings appear in the journal Cancer Cell. News release at http://bit.ly/ TvjFpx. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.
La Jolla High students win big in English contest A team of students representing La Jolla High School won highest honors in the December WordWright Challenge, a national competition for high school students that required reading and analysis of prose and poetry. The La Jolla High 11thgraders’ entries tied for 12th place in the country, with junior Trevor Menders being one of the 63 highest scoring 11th-graders in the nation. Every sophomore and junior student in teacher Jewel Weien’s Advance Placement (AP) English program participated this year. “I became aware of the competition through an AP teachers’ blog,” Weien said. “I thought it would give my pre-AP students some practice without being ‘graded,’ and
the AP students more exposure to literature they are not likely to read on their own. I also want them to be aware of how important it is to have a good vocabulary, both as readers and writers.” More than 58,000 students from 582 schools participated in the WordWright Challenge, which has four meets; one in October, December, February and April. The texts the sophomores analyzed for the December meet included an essay by Peggy Orenstein, paired with a sonnet by William Wordsworth for the ninth- and 10thgraders. For juniors, the texts included an excerpt from Charles Dickens’ “Little Dorrit.” The La Jolla High students will participate in the next two rounds as well. —A.Mackin

Community groups reject three-story project behind Vons By Pat Sherman Members of La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO) and Development Permit Review (DPR) city advisory committees declined to approve a mixed-used project on Girard Avenue, proposed for land currently used as Vons’ rear parking lot. On Jan. 8 the DPR voted against approval of a coastal development permit (CDP) and map waiver (deviation) for the proposed three-story project, which would include eight residential units and one 5,125-squarefoot, ground-floor commercial space. The PDO committee argued that La Jolla’s planned district ordinance (the community’s blueprint for development) restricts development to two stories in its commercial zone. The groups also expressed concern about the “very dark color” of the project. La Jolla’s planned district ordinance calls for avoiding dark colors in favor of earth tones, pastels and other light colors. DPR chairman Paul Benton likened the project to the Bird Rock Station development, proposed for the northwest corner La Jolla Boulevard and Bird Rock Avenue. Following community uproar over that project — initially proposed as three stories — the developer made concessions to limit the project’s perceived height to two stories by moving its parking garage underground. “This is kind of the problem when somebody comes into the area and they’re really not familiar with La Jolla planning,”
This employee parking lot behind Vons supermarket on Girard Avenue could be developed as a mixed-use commercial and residential building. Pat Sherman Benton said. “Everybody knows the height limit is 30 feet. … The (Girard Avenue developer) designed it thinking he could go to three stories, because it fit within 30 feet. … The planned district ordinance clearly states that you cannot go to three stories.” City staff told the applicant that the only
method of achieving three stories is to apply for a deviation to the planned district ordinance, which Benton said is approved in “special cases if members of the community think it’s a good idea.” Benton said a deviation and a variance are commonly confused, the latter of which
&Marti GeLLenS
requires a hardship. While a developer does not have to prove a hardship to obtain a deviation, it must be demonstrated that the project conforms to the community’s character and does not create environmental impacts such as view blockages, parking problems or incompatible occupancies, Benton said. Though DPR members generally liked the project’s “modern” and “leading-edge” design, and had no problems with proposed tandem parking, they found its location next to Vons could be considered an “incompatible adjacent use.” “What they’ve done is they’ve shown that Vons doesn’t really need that (employee) parking lot anymore,” Benton said. “That’s how they justified selling it (to the applicant).” Benton said the DPR committee would like to see the developer return with a twostory design, though that would likely reduce the number of residential units. Philip Quatrino, owner of PQ Design Studio, which presented the project to the advisory groups, said he is not certain whether the developer will ask him to present an alternate design to the La Jolla Community Planning Association or DPR at a later date. “We’ve already had two unanimous approvals on the project and then low-and-behold the three-story height limit thing popped up, which caught everybody by surprise,” he said. “Right now we’re still weighing our options, looking at the design and trying to figure out our next course of action.”

Despite new federal historic status, post office lacks similar nod from city SAVE THE POST OFFICE UPDATE By Pat Sherman Following news this month that La Jolla’s Wall Street post office has been added to the National Register of Historic Places, the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force announced that it is still working to receive such a designation from the City of San Diego’s Historical Resources Board (HRB). Since August, the task force has been inquiring with the HRB about having the building designated as a local historic landmark — another key step in its efforts to save the post office from relocation by the United States Postal Service (USPS), and its historic building demolished or significantly altered by a new owner. Currently, if a building has a national historic designation, but no such recognition from the City of San Diego, it is not listed as historic within the city’s permitting department — leaving the building vulnerable to demolition by a potential buyer. A spokesperson for the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner said that in order to obtain a local historic listing, the task force needs to provide the city with a copy of the historic nomination report accepted by the Keeper of the National Register (a National Park Service
official), as well as a city nomination fee of $1,185. “As soon as that has been received, city staff will docket the item for the first available HRB hearing, which is typically 3 to 6 weeks out, depending upon when the materials are received,” Lightner’s office responded. “So far, city staff has not yet received the information required.” Though, given the post office’s federal historic status, the task force had asked the city to waive its nomination fee, Lightner’s office said the fee can not be waived or reduced per the mandates of Proposition 26. Post office task force Chair Leslie Davis said the United States Postal Service, which favors local designation, has indicated that the post office may be exempt from paying a local nomination fee. In response to the task force’s plea that the city streamline the local designation process, Lightner’s office said city staff “agreed to bring forward options for possible code revisions related to automatic listing to the full board in January or February.” Since the property is listed on the National Register, a local Historic Resource Research Report will not be required, Lightner’s office said. Though USPS told the task force it had filled out the local nomination forms, Cathy Winterrowd with the city’s planning department said she had not yet received them.
La Jolla’s Wall Street post office, now listed as a national historic landmark, awaits a similar designation from the City of San Diego.

Spotlight on Local
Pediatrician researching cancer cure By Marti Gacioch While much of Scripps pediatrician Dr. Robert Bjork’s day centers on children’s care, his life’s passion lies in the cancer immunology research he’s pursued for more than 15 years. Bjork holds a U.S. patent for an innovative immunotherapy for cancer that could be available in the next two years and provide a major breakthrough in finding a cure. “It will be beneficial in all kinds of cancers, but the initial tests will be on chronic lymphocytic leukemia as a model,” Bjork said. “It’s the most advantageous to study immunotherapy in a disease like chronic lymphocytic leukemia because we can see the cancer and the immune system all in one teaspoon of blood by using our high-tech machinery and software.” As a pediatrician, Bjork cares for children from birth through age 18. He specializes in neonatal circumcision, infant colic, and attention deficit disorders. “My pediatric day job is a labor of love that helps provide a salary to continue my research work or I would have to rely on grants,” Bjork said. He also serves as a co-chair of the Scripps Health Institutional Review Board for the protection of human research subjects at all five Scripps hospitals. The board examines the ethics

and safety of every clinical research study at Scripps to make sure the documents given to patients inform them adequately about the risks of the studies. “I get to see all the new research that’s coming
out on all the different types of treatments for all kinds of diseases and all the new studies on cancer treatment,” Bjork said. He earned his M.D. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine in 1981. Cancer research became his passion while studying cancer immunology and biology during a fellowship at UCLA, 1984-1988. He foresees that his immunology treatment will complement the use of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to reduce the size of tumors. “After the cancer burden is minimized with conventional treatments, the immunologic infusion will be used to allow the immune system to destroy the rest of the tumor cells and maintain surveillance,” Bjork said. “This technology will reduce the risk of relapse, and in some ways, we now know what the eventual cure for cancer will look like.” Bjork primarily works with his mentor, Scripps oncologist Dr. Alan Saven. He credits his father, Robert Bjork Sr., a retired NASA scientist and nuclear physicist, for inventing the software program that enabled him to see the immune abnormality that allows cancer to grow unchecked by the host immune system. — Reach Dr. Robert Bjork at (858) 457-0030 or 4520 Executive Drive, Suite 350, San Diego.

Revised impact report on proposed Hillel student center available for review The City of San Diego’s Development Services Department has prepared a recirculated draft environmental impact report (EIR) for the Hillel Jewish Student Center, proposed near UC San Diego. Hillel’s executive director, Michael Rabkin, told the La Jolla Light that during the public review process it was determined that the existing residence at the site, used as Hillel’s offices, is more than 45 years old and requires a historic evaluation per the city. Hillel completed the analysis and included it in the re-circulated EIR. The public may review the new information
and any other changes by visiting bit.ly/ VnSjEE Comments on the report must be received by March 11, 2013 to be included in the final document considered by the city’s decision-making authorities.

Drowning victim is a Spring Valley woman A woman found dead and floating in the waters off Scripps Pier by surfers on Saturday has been identified as Alyssa Collette Pezzoli, 19, of Spring Valley. City News Service reports Pezzoli was spotted lifeless in the Pacific Ocean, about 100 yards northwest of the tip of the pier, and reported to lifeguards about 12:20 p.m., Jan. 26. The UC San Diego campus police
department is handling the investigation as the pier is within its jurisdiction. Jeff Gattas, a UCSD spokesman, told La Jolla Light the death appears to be accidental and that there were no signs of foul play. The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to release a cause of death. Gattas said Pezzoli was not a UCSD student. — Ashley Mackin
Police warn: Beware of phone scammers San Diego Police say phone scammers have recently been posing as members of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The criminals call the victims and identify themselves as sheriff’s deputies or representing the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The victims are told they have outstanding warrants. Callers claim they will clear the arrest warrant or cancel a pending court appearance if the potential victim sends money within a certain timeframe.
Victims are also told the Sheriff’s Department will have a local police officer come to their home and arrest them if they don’t send money. No deputy or employee of the sheriff’s department will ever contact members of the public by telephone to demand money or any other form of payment. If someone tells you they need money for you to receive money, hang up immediately. To report scams, contact the Sheriff’s Financial Crimes Unit at (858) 974-2322 or e-mail mark.varnau@sdsheriff.org
La Jollans light candles and share memories in front of a makeshift, mobile altar to Irving Gill’s demolished Windemere cottage Jan. 27. Pat Sherman
La Jollans attend vigil for Irving Gill’s ‘Windemere’
M
ore than 40 La Jolla residents and preservationists attended a “vigil” Sunday evening for Irving Gill’s “Windemere” cottage, which was demolished Dec. 23, 2011 via an emergency demolition permit. “We were happy to see the diversity of those who attended — from Bird Rock to the Shores, La Jollans and San Diegans who want to work together to stop the continuous elimination of our cultural, architectural history and community memory,” La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) Preservation Committee Chair Leslie Davis said. In an effort to preserve Windemere, historic preservationists sought to have the 1894 structure moved to the LJHS grounds on Prospect Street, but negotiations with the current property owner came to an impasse.
Sunday’s event was organized to draw attention to the loss of La Jolla’s historic homes and architecture, and city procedures relating to historic or potentially historic architecture, which preservationists say too often favor development over preservation. The LJHS’s Preservation Committee contends the city did not follow proper procedure in the demolition of Windemere. It has retained an attorney to appeal a recent city decision stating that the city acted correctly by allowing the demolition without a Coastal Development Permit. The committee also contends that the new owner is liable for “project splitting” by not disclosing his intent to build a home on the site when applying for the demolition permit. — Pat Sherman
La Jolla oncologist pleads guilty to dispensing unapproved drugs According to the U.S. Attorney’s office, a La Jolla oncologist and his medical practice pled guilty this month in connection with a scheme to import unapproved foreign cancer drugs at a deep discount, dispense them to unwitting patients, bill Medicare as if the drugs were legitimate, and pocket the profits. In a hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Bernard Skomal on Jan. 15, Dr. Joel I. Bernstein pled guilty to a single count of introducing an unapproved drug into interstate commerce — in this case, a cancer drug called “Mabthera” intended for market in Turkey — and administering it
to patients. The approved U.S. drug with the same active ingredient is Rituxan, which is used to treat lymphomas and leukemias such as nonHodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Bernstein was released pending sentencing, which is scheduled for April 16. In addition, his medical practice, Dr. Joel I. Bernstein, M.D. Inc., also pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo to one count of health care fraud. According to the plea agreement with the corporation, employees purchased $3.4 million in foreign cancer drugs, knowing they had not been approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States. From 2007 to 2011, Bernstein’s office purchased the drugs for significantly less than market value in the U.S. and then submitted claims to Medicare at the full reimbursement price. To conceal the scheme, the office fraudulently used Medicare reimbursement codes for approved cancer drugs, as Medicare does not pay for unapproved drugs. The plea agreement also calls for $1.7 million in restitution to Medicare, plus forfeiture of $1.2 million in profits. The medical practice is scheduled to be
sentenced May 17. In addition, the government has also filed a False Claims Act lawsuit in District Court against Dr. Bernstein and his medical corporation for submitting false claims to the Medicare Program for these unapproved drugs. According to this civil complaint, the Medicare Program was defrauded of over $1.7 million, and under the False Claims Act, the United States can recover triple the amount of damages plus monetary penalties. The FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) currently has more than 200 investigations nationwide involving schemes in
which medical practices purchase foreign, unapproved drugs and dispense them to unsuspecting patients for personal financial gain. Unlike traditional prescription drugs, which are dispensed to the patient by a pharmacy, oncology drugs are typically infused into a patient without the patient ever seeing the box it came in, or any of the related labeling. “In a worst-case scenario, chemotherapy drugs that have not been approved by the FDA may be fake, ineffective, unsafe, and dangerous,” U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said. — Staff Reports

This brief editorial from the La Jolla Journal in 1913 seems oblivious to its predecessor The Breakers. Courtesy of La Jolla Historical Society
e like the quote by playwright Arthur Miller that “a good newspaper is a town talking to itself.” We also like to think La Jollans chat it up through their La Jolla Light. As far back as we can find, the residents of this seaside Village have been lucky enough to have a hometown newspaper connecting them — maybe that’s why they’re so smart and sassy! For the purposes of celebrating our 100th anniversary in print this year, the Light discovered that the town of La Jolla has been supporting a news publication since 1905 — when it was just 18 years old! (The year 1887 is considered to be La Jolla’s founding year since that’s when the auction of lots in the first subdivision took place.) A paper called The La Jolla Breakers debuted in 1905, but it soon folded, and eight years later in 1913, the La Jolla Journal arrived on the scene. The Journal published independently for about a decade until the La Jolla Light premiered in the 1920s. The Journal and the Light co-existed until they merged in the mid-1960s under the La Jolla Light masthead. Historical Society archivist/curator Michael Mishler said he and volunteer assistant Susanne Hayase have been compiling print copies of La Jolla newspapers, which are stored in the converted, climate-controlled historic Carriage House on Eads Avenue. Mishler said the public is not allowed into the newspaper archives but people have access to it. “You request the newspapers — we bring them up to you,” he said. Elsewhere in the Village in the History Room on the second floor of La Jolla Public Library at 7555 Draper Ave., volunteer Darryl Templer has been busy creating a topical index of La Jolla Light from 1960 to 1994. Since 1994, only weekly hard copies of the Light have been kept. As you might expect, thumbing through old issues of the Light makes for a fun and fascinating trip down memory lane — especially for those who have lived here for many years. The pages bear witness to La Jolla’s evolution, evident through hairstyles and fashions, changing businesses and burgeoning neighborhoods — all the while chronicling the constancy of La Jolla traditions like the Rough Water Swim, Jewel and Candlelight Balls, art and wine events, and the Christmas parade. If you’d like to peruse some, the Riford Library History Room is open 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Fridays; 1-4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7555 Draper Ave. The La Jolla Historical Society is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays-Fridays at 7846 Eads Ave. Throughout 2013, the Light will mark its centennial with a historical perspective story published the fourth Thursday of each month. We’re also hoping to publish interviews with La Jollans born in 1913, who are celebrating their 100th birthdays this year. If you know someone who would like to be interviewed for the series, please call editor Susan DeMaggio with the contact information at (858) 875-5950 or send her an e-mail at susandemaggio@lajollalight.com Thank you for reading the Light.

Letter to Mayor Filner seeking yellow rope for grunion crowd control Dear Mr. Mayor: Congratulations on your election as Mayor. It’s good to see bold action in a bleak social landscape of apathy. I’m also pleased to hear that you have finally got a plan to “vacuum up” the stench at La Jolla Cove. Hopefully, this cesspool of political ping-pong has run its course, but don’t worry, the Victorian cottages across the street (Red Roost and Rest Rest) will continue to be a daily historical reminder that government bureaucracy is alive and well. The real purpose of this letter is to respectively request that same consideration that you have shown the seals at Children’s Pool, for the unique and much-loved California Grunion. As you know, these remarkable creatures only spawn on select Southern California beaches
OUR READERS WRITE for a few nights between March and August, and only at high tides and on full and new moons. We would like to help protect this species and not encumber them with humans harassing them during their most intimate mating and spawning rituals. The general public appears to have accepted the yellow rope method of crowd control and imminent domain of our beaches, so we would like to install a similar yellow rope on all grunionspawning beaches. We would also like to install webcameras on any old government property that may be close to the beach. I know these barriers are unsightly
and might be inconvenient to some people, but it’s only for six months during the summer, and it should not take more than three months to install and another three months to uninstall after the spawning season. As you know, permitting takes so long these days, and the call of nature simply cannot wait, so we will start deploying approximately 1million feet (212 miles) of yellow rope next week, beginning where you left off at Children’s Pool, going north to Point Conception. Big issues like this require bold steps. We hope that we can count on your support because the lives of millions of grunions are at risk. Peter Martin Muirlands

Glad the seal rope is now 152 feet long According to a La Jolla Light article by Pat Sherman in the Jan. 24 issue, the rope was originally “supposed to be 152 feet in length per a 2010 vote of the San Diego City Council.” “But in 2010, city staff mistakenly approved coastal development & site development permits for a 130-foot rope.” Now the rope has been restored to its originally designated length, so what is the problem? The mistake has been rectified! The rope was supposed to be 152 feet! Because the seals are such a contentious subject, I wonder how this mistake was made. It is a pity that our divers know of only one place to dive, what with a whole local coastline of beaches and diving areas (available). One would think that using only one diving area would get to be old hat and boring. Ina Brown La Jolla
Mayor is doing what’s right with longer rope Had I been able to attend the January meeting of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA), I surely would have voted with trustee Jim Fitzgerald against sending a hectoring letter to Mayor Bob Filner about his proper action to extend a 152foot rope at the Children’s Pool to protect people from hauled-out seals and vice versa. According to this story, a 152-foot rope was authorized by a San Diego City Council vote in 2010 and, strangely, was never implemented by the previous city administration. To correct that error of omission, Mayor Filner acted, installed the rope, and authorized future installation of a webcam. Melinda Merryweather, spokesperson for self-styled “beach access advocates,” narrowly claims “we are a community of surfers, divers and fishermen.” It appears she urged the CPA to send this letter, which falsely alleges that “residents of La Jolla have made it clear to the CPA that they are opposed to the recently lengthened rope barrier ...” In fact neither statement is true. The “community” is much larger than a small zealous group of activist anti-seal folks — “the community” is San Diego, of which we are a part (and from which Ms. Merryweather would like to secede) — and neither San Diegans nor “residents of La Jolla” have ever been polled about the seals’ presence at the Children’s Pool or about the length of any protective rope there. Frances O’Neill Zimmerman Member, La Jolla Community Planning Association
Mayor is following the seal rope law Mayor Filner was correct in acting to correct the length of the rope — no permit was needed. Dan Daneri, of SD Parks and Rec, admitted to the measuring error 1/31/12 in a hand delivered letter to the California Coastal Commission. The 152foot rope was the intent of the City Council Resolution and the attachment drawing submitted. The three-foot opening, not a 25foot opening, is wide enough for divers to get through to access the ocean. The three-

It’s time for the seals to leave Children’s Pool Even though I’ve been a Sierra Club member for over 30 years, I am adamantly OPPOSED to those miserable seals which have taken over the Children’s Pool. What would Ms. Ellen Scripps say? She had the jetty built specifically to provide a safe place for young children to swim and play. My parents took me and my two sisters to the Children’s Pool in the 1940s and ’50s. How wonderful it was. Ms. Scripps did NOT have the jetty built to provide a place for seals to breed, foul the water, and prevent children and adults from enjoying the beautiful cove which she created. Where else is there a safe and secure place for tiny children to enjoy the water in safe, peaceful, beautiful surroundings? La Jolla Shores? Boomer Beach? I don’t think so. This is the last bastion. We must take a stand to safeguard the integrity of the Children’s Pool (which the seal lovers call Casa Beach, pretending that the “Children” portion of the name is irrelevant.) The seals are a noisy nuisance. More importantly, they are also a great snack for sharks, which at some point are going to gobble up either a seal or a swimmer brave enough to enter the polluted water. Myrna Wosk La Jolla
Attorney C. Hugh Friedman dies at age 81 Prominent business attorney and University of San Diego law professor Casil Hugh Friedman, of La Jolla, passed away Tuesday morning, Jan. 29, following a prolonged illness. Friedman, husband of former Congressmember Lynn Schenk, received his juris doctorate from Stanford University in 1956, beginning his legal career as California’s deputy attorney general. He moved to San Diego in 1958 to take a position as an in-house corporate attorney with WestgateCalifornia Corp., going on to practice business law as a senior partner at Friedman, Kahan, Dysart & Frasier. Friedman was appointed by President Clinton to the White House Conference on Small Business Commission and appointed by Gov. Gray Davis to the California State Air Resources Board. He was a former director for the San Diego County Bar Foundation and member of the American Bar C. Hugh Friedman Association and International Bar Association. (1931-2013) In 2012 a graduate student fellowship at Scripps Institution of Oceanography was named in honor of Friedman, who, along with his wife, was a longtime member of Scripps’ annual philanthropic group, E.W. Scripps Associates. In interviews, he said he followed in the footsteps of his father, an attorney who died when Friedman was a boy. Friedman also served as notes editor of the Stanford Law Review, and received the Belva Lockwood Award from the Lawyers Club of San Diego. Friedman is survived by his wife, Lynn; and children Paul, Greg and Maria. Services will be Thursday, Jan. 31 at Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley.

Is the Children’s Pool webcam for profit? This device (the web cam at Children’s Pool) is to solicit donations on the website of an activist organization seeking action to restrict public access. The little goldmine was not put out for public bid or permit. Another mayorial decree. Does any part of the proceeds benefit La Jolla? Exploitation of the casual nature of these seals has always been described as “a lucrative tourist attraction” by the city. Why are profits being diverted to a special interest group?

Please tell other side of global warming tale I don’t claim to be any kind of scientist, however, I have followed the global warming claims for the past four-plus years and read dissenting articles. There is usually only one side of the “crisis” ever presented. Please offer another view. After all, most of this will be paid for with the American taxpayers’ dollars and there are billions at stake.

Lady Vikings slam Lincoln Hornets, 52-22 By Michael Ragovin La Jolla High’s girls varsity basketball team beat the Lincoln High Hornets, 52-22, in the “Big Gym” on Jan. 25. La Jolla came into the game with an overall record of 13 wins and eight losses, including three wins and two losses in league play. The girls played a very tight defensive game causing many turnovers by Lincoln. The point guards were excellent ball handlers, setting up set plays that got players good looks from the outside and shook players loose under the basket for easy hoops. Outside shooting was more than adequate as the Lady Vikings hit several long shots from behind the threepoint arc off plays designed to create space. Scoring in the first period was very limited. La Jolla didn’t reach six points until there was 2:47 left on the clock and the Vikings scored on a lay in. Lincoln scored its first points on a jumper from the key at 2:17 mark.

clock and the score, Vikings 12, Hornets 6. La Jolla scored the last basket of the first-quarter and took a 14 to 6 lead into the second period. Sophia Sowers made a jumper and two free throws to start the second quarter and Lincoln made a lay in with six minutes remaining in the quarter, La Jolla leading 18-8. Westham got an offensive rebound, a lay in plus a jumper for a 24-8 lead. La Jolla scored seven more points to one for Lincoln, and the second period ended with the Vikings ahead 31-9. Lincoln nailed a three ball, Sowers answered with a three-point basket of her own, and Lincoln added a freethrow to make the score 34-13. The Vikings scored 12
unanswered points to end the third quarter with a 4613 lead. La Jolla hit a jump shot and Lincoln made three straight lay ins to start the fourth period and make the score 48-19. Hannah Polcyn made two free throws, Lincoln hit a three-pointer, Ivana Lases made a twopoint jump shot and Lincoln made a three-point jumper to end the scoring at 52-22. It’s difficult to say whether La Jolla played a great game or Lincoln just played poorly. Probably a combination of both. La Jolla is well coached, plays very intensely, hustles all the time and is very organized. They are a little under sized, but should have a very good finish to their season.

La Jolla Youth Baseball prepares for 2013 Season By Tom Murphy
League Update:
La Jolla Youth Baseball
“All Hands On Deck!” is the call for January at La Jolla Youth Baseball. Behind the scenes, the board and League presidents have been working for a couple of months getting registration set up, facilities organized, uniforms ordered and sponsors engaged. When registration closed on Jan. 14, nearly 400 players, ages 5-14, were committed to play on 40 teams in five divisions. A clean-up day was organized and 20 volunteers painted bleachers, cleared out sheds, fixed and organized equipment, and overhauled an old batting cage with new turf and a pitching machine. By early February, assessments will be completed for the Pinto, Mustang, Bronco and Pony divisions, which involve every player and about 30 coaches, who carefully assess players on the elements of throwing, hitting, fielding and running. It takes a couple of days to complete and everyone compares notes for the sole purpose of organizing teams using a draft format that is fair and balanced. Parity is of utmost importance in this recreational league so players can develop new skills, learn important teamwork abilities, and most important — have fun playing baseball. The 10 Shetland teams are organized more by schools, friends and neighbors, because at ages 5 and 6, the kids are just learning the ropes and care more about what’s the postgame snack than how to turn a double play.
■ Shetland Registration remains open for ages 5-6. Sign up at www.LJYB.org ■ Feb. 4: Practices begin ■ Feb. 6: Positive Coaching Alliance Workshop 6:30-8:30 p.m. La Jolla High’s Parker Auditorium ■M arch 2: Opening Day! Noon ceremony at Bronco Field with representatives from San Diego Padres. Decade Award. Team Photo Day. ■ March 2-17: Jersey Mike’s fundraiser with free sub sandwiches for $2 donation to LJYB. Shetland coaches are paid in memorable stories they will reminisce about with their children when they grow up. LJYB will again participate in the Youth Baseball Initiative with the San Diego Padres. Last year, the Padres donated about 12,000 authentic MLB Padres jerseys and caps to youth leagues throughout the San Diego region. Player development is a high priority for LJYB with the introduction of multiple clinics, batting practices and workouts with professional and volunteer instructors in an ongoing program. LJYB organizes a series of “Sunday Sandlot Sessions” that are free to players and full of age-appropriate instruction in each division. In addition to player development, volunteer managers and coaches are
This year, there are 16 jersey styles representing the history of the Padres going back to its 1936 PCL team when they played at Lane Field. The Padres will outfit 16,000 kids. No other MLB team does this for their youth baseball communities. Courtesy expected to attend an educational workshop hosted by LJYB and the Positive Coaching Alliance. This two-hour certification program affords every volunteer the opportunity to learn philosophies, tools and techniques that certifies them as a “DoubleGoal Coach/Parent.” This season, the Positive Coaching Alliance workshop is open to any parent with a player in the league. The workshop is hosted by a LJYB family and is 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6 in Parker Auditorium at La Jolla High School. Registration is required at www.LJYB.org
Managers and coaches are also expected to complete a criminal background check that is organized and paid for by LJYB. The league is taking advantage of every opportunity to improve the quality of the youth baseball experience in La Jolla. LJYB is looking for former players who completed 10 years of baseball in our league. This is typically the kid who progressed from Shetland through Pony in 10 consecutive years. There will be a ceremony on Opening Day for players from the past 10 years. Please let us know if you enjoyed a Decade of LJYB!

Junior League President Jennifer Edstrom keeps a caring heart for kids Jennifer Harris Edstrom is principal of Edstrom Educational Consulting and president of the Junior League of San Diego (JLSD). Although born in Philadelphia, she has spent most of her life in La Jolla and said she is deeply committed to helping America’s Finest City be even finer. She attended The Children’s Jennifer Harris Edstrom School, La Jolla Elementary and The Bishop’s School. She graduated from Wellesley College in 1997. She went on to teach elementary
school in New Jersey, where she was the recipient of the New Jersey Governor’s Teacher Award. In 2000 she married her college sweetheart, Matthew Edstrom, with whom she is happily raising two daughters, Olivia and Avery. Upon moving back to La Jolla in 2005, she built Edstrom Educational Consulting, a firm that provides editorial and content services to educational publishers. She also became an active member of the JLSD, serving as chair of the 2007 Junior League of San Diego Food and Wine Festival (formerly known as Island Divine) and on the Board of Directors prior to being chosen as president. She also serves on the Alumni Advisory Board for The Bishop’s School.
10 QUESTIONS What brought you to La Jolla? I originally moved to La Jolla in 1979 when I was a little girl and my dad began his medical career at UCSD. I left La Jolla to attend Wellesley College and made a few pit stops in New Jersey and Chicago. Twelve years later, when my oldest daughter was born, Matt and I decided that we wanted to be closer to family. We moved here when Olivia was 6 months old. I adore raising my family in my hometown. What might you improve in the area? While I love how thriving and vibrant La Jolla is today, especially with the addition of the La Jolla Community Foundation murals, I will admit I miss some old favorites. I wish I could still purchase ribbon at Jane’s
Fabrique or buy my kids’ shoes at Scott’s. And I will always miss the Cove Theater, where I saw the “Black Stallion” and “When Harry Met Sally,” among many other favorites. Progress is important, but I wish that more of the past could survive alongside it. Who or what inspires you? People who devote their time, treasure and talent to their community inspire me. The women of the Junior League of San Diego exemplify this and inspire me as they work to improve our community by impacting the lives of transition-age foster youth and serve as civic and community leaders. What are you reading? I am finally reading “Language of Flowers,” after receiving many recommendations.

Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass is served with crab fried rice.
‘Best crab from around the globe’ make its way to Truluck’s By Kelley Carlson seafood lover in San Diego doesn’t have to travel far to enjoy edible crustaceans from all over the world. Truluck’s is a high-end establishment that offers fare from waters near and far, along with steaks. But it especially stands out for its crab. “Our No. 1 point difference (from other seafood and steak houses) is that we are committed to buying the best crab that money can buy from around the globe,” said Todd Perry, managing partner of Truluck’s La Jolla location. The privately held chain — which has nine additional restaurants in Florida and Texas — obtains much of its crab from the fisheries it owns in south Florida. Truluck’s operates 30 boats that catch Florida stone crabs daily. The crustaceans are cooked on the dock, packed in ice and jetted to the restaurants, less than 24 hours after they are trapped. Along with Florida stone crab, the La Jolla site serves Pacific stone crab, which it buys from an exclusive source. The establishment also sells “the largest Alaskan red king crab legs you can buy,” Perry said. Crab may be Truluck’s main focus, but other types of sustainable seafood are popular with guests, as well. One is the tender Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass (MSC certified), which rests on a bed of signature crab fried rice and practically melts in one’s mouth. Another is the Skuna Bay Salmon Bearnaise, featuring a mild, buttery and firm fish that is marbled with thin layers of fat and raised in glacier-fed Canadian waters. The dish is served with Parmesan mashed

Truluck’s dining room is dimly lit, featuring classic decor, mahogany colors and decorative fish. Photos by Kelley Carlson opened. There are more than 100 vintages by the sample, glass and bottle, and several sommeliers on staff. Perry acknowledges that Truluck’s is “pretty pricey” by most standards, but there are offers that make the restaurant attractive. Happy hour is celebrated daily with halfprice appetizers and cocktails. Also, every evening is “date night,” allowing a couple to choose soup or salad, an entree and a shared dessert for about $40 per person. Monday is all-you-can-eat stone crab — Florida or Pacific, depending on the season — when a person can feast on all the claws, soup, salad and sides they can manage in a sitting for $59. Finally, 50 sommelierselected bottles of wine are sold for halfprice on Wednesdays.
In addition to accolades for its cuisine and wine, the restaurant has been lauded for its service style. “We practice a particular brand of Southern hospitality,” Perry said. “We’re very fortunate to have some of the best service staff in the country.” Truluck’s showcases a timeless and classic decor that includes mahogany millwork and cove lighting. The lobby has a live-crab tank and fresh-crab displays. Seating areas include deep, semicircular leather booths in the dimly lit main dining room, which is accented with tubes of floating white orchids, mirrors and mounted fish; and two heated outdoor patios with fire pits. In the lounge, bartenders shake things up behind an illuminated onyx bar. And every evening, there is live entertainment from a saxophonist/pianist or jazz pianist.

Masterful drama explores slavery’s effects on families By Diana Saenger Through his series of 10 plays, each set in a different decade, playwright August Wilson took a long look at life for the African American. “The Pittsburgh Cycle” earned two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama. The Cygnet Theatre in Old Town is staging the first of the series, “Gem of the Ocean.” It takes place in 1904, shadowing the memory of slavery. Drifter Citizen Barlow arrives at the home of 87-year-old Aunt Esther in search of asylum and spiritual redemption. Esther is a powerful character who believes in holding on to where you came from, your roots and your ancestors. She guides Citizen on a soaring, lyrical journey of spiritual awakening to the City of Bones. Cygnet Artistic Director Sean Murray, who co-directs the production with Victor Mack, said he finds staging Wilson’s plays appealing due to the playwright’s ability to capture the mood, thoughts and attitudes of different decades. “They all contain characters who are fully realized,” Murray said. “They don’t tend to have heroes and

It’s interesting how different situations work out. “As I’m watching this cast, I’m realizing there is something big and universal about the play,” Murray said. “Until you’re able to look inward and find your personal strength and live a life of integrity, you’re not able to move forward with life. ‘We die as we live,’ I think is a political message August wrote as he was dying with cancer.

medications so he could keep his mind lucid and finish the play.” Much has been written about Wilson’s brilliant use of language in his plays. Murray said it’s almost like music, it just flows. “Our cast includes a mix of eight actors; some have performed in Wilson’s plays, some who are locally based, and some who bring new ideas to the play. I think it’s a good mix for some discoveries. “This play is about a vast community of people who still have a direct connection to slavery. There’s a lot of discussion about what is
freedom, and the of promise freedom not living up to itself because roadblocks have been set up to keep people from being free, politically, economically, and socially. We have to look at what that does to the soul of people with that legacy. I believe Wilson is trying to put tangible faces to people in this story and examine what the insult of human dignity does to people. When people fall, they fall hard, and usually it comes from not knowing who they are or what they are supposed to be.”

February is the coolest month for ArtPower’s offerings By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt If you haven’t experienced ArtPower yet, February would be a fine time to start. What is ArtPower? It’s a program at UC San Diego designed to pump up cultural life on campus and in the community by presenting exciting performances from around the world. Innovative dance companies and hip combos of classical, jazz and roots musicians are the norm here, and there are many opportunities to interact with the artists at intermissions. “We bring artists and audiences together to create, participate, energize and celebrate,” said Martin Wollesen, artistic director of ArtPower. February’s lineup is something worth celebrating. Along with a return visit from AP regulars, the renowned Emerson String Quartet (Feb. 10 at Prebys Concert Hall), there are a half-dozen special events that sound very intriguing. n First up (Feb. 7 at The Loft), and most unusual, is The Animal Cracker Conspiracy, which calls itself a “contemporary hybrid puppet company.” They are presenting “The Collector,” a mysterious tale set in an altered reality, which combines film, tabletop

The Conspiracy is actually a pair of local puppeteer/artists, Bridget Rountree and Iain Gunn, who have been working on “The Collector” for more than three years, and saw it win three awards at the San Francisco Fringe Festival, including Best of Fringe. “We’ve created a compelling new way of storytelling,” Gunn said. “You’ve probably never seen anything like it before.” n Simon Shaheen (Feb. 8 at Price Center East Ballroom) is an internationally acclaimed performer/composer of Arab-
fusion music, a virtuoso on both oud and violin. Born in Palestine and based in New York City, he mixes Middle Eastern, Latin American, and other global influences with a touch of postmodern jazz, and will be appearing here — in conversation and performance — with his quintet. n Ethiopian-born Meklit Hadero (Feb. 20 and 21 at The Loft) makes her home in San Francisco, and her soulful voice blends East and West Coast jazz, folk, and art rock with a sure connection to her African roots. n Sybarite5 (Feb. 22, The Loft) are a quintet of

classical string players who like to combine Stravinsky and Dvorak with Radiohead and Led Zeppelin. n Then there’s a Foovie: a Mexican movie, “Canela” (Cinnamon), preceded by a dinner featuring related cuisine. (Feb. 27 at The Loft).
It’s a film about a young girl, her grandmother, and their shared love of cooking, and the dinner includes tamales, chicken in molé negro, and Mexican chocolate cake topped with cinnamon whipped cream. n Closing out the month
is Ballet X (Feb. 28 at Mandeville Auditorium), an adventurous Philadelphia dance company presenting a trio of pieces by three daring young choreographers. n Tip: Discount tickets for some of these events are available at goldstar.com

Las Patronas awards grantee checks at annual Beneficiaries Luncheon By Ashley Mackin as Patronas held its annual Beneficiary Luncheon Jan. 23 at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club to present funds raised from the 2012 Jewel Ball to seven organizations whose needs won Las Patronas’ hearts. Last year’s ball, themed “Passeggiata!” netted $765,000. The proceeds were granted out in approximately $40,000 increments. Representatives from each non-profit honored were present to accept the money and explain how it would be used. “The organizations receiving funds were chosen from a pool of extremely qualified applicants,” said Pat Marsch, Las Patronas president. “Their grant applications were carefully screened on the basis of reach and impact within our community and the strength of the mission.” n The Alpha Project: A flatbed truck for work programs that help transition homeless and high-risk people back into the workforce n The American Red Cross: A touchtable system that allows emergency

Annual student talent show raises cash for scholarships
T
he 10th annual Stars In Our Eyes talent show, held Jan. 25 at La Jolla High School’s Parker Auditorium, showcased students’ abilities and raised money for college scholarships. Presented by the Rotary Club of La Jolla, the show featured 17 different acts, including singing, dancing and acting, as well as a student art exhibit. More than 125 students from La Jolla High School, The Bishop’s School, La Jolla Country Day School and Preuss School at UCSD performed, helped set up the show, worked backstage or contributed a piece of art. “We give around $150,000 annually in scholarships to college-bound graduates of the four La Jolla high schools,” said Kate Adams, Rotary Club president.

La Jolla high school students participate in first Global Youth Leadership Program By Ashley Mackin Eight La Jolla students are among the 10 selected for the inaugural Global Youth Leadership Program (GYLP) of San Diego’s Project Concern International (PCI). These students attend La Jolla High School, The Bishop’s School, La Jolla Country Day School and Torrey Pines High School. The five-month curriculum, which began Jan. 27, will teach participants leadership skills and then put them to the test, when the students organize PCI’s signature fundraiser, the Walk for Water. The event raises funds to get drinkable water to those in impoverished countries. The curriculum will cover five components: understanding PCI’s mission and programs; event planning and finding sponsorships; communication (including writing press releases for the Walk for Water); branding

and social media; resumewriting and interview skills. The students will use these new-found talents to produce and conduct the Walk in April. “I think it’s ideal that they can learn how to write a press release and then right away, do it for the Walk (for Water),” said Uli Heine, PCI Director of Development. For the students, the hoped-for benefits of the GYLP are two-fold; for some, working with PCI to get clean water to developing countries is as important as the skills they will develop in the process. Walk for Water Team Leader and La Jolla High School Senior Chase Abbott said, “Looking at Walk for Water, it’s kind

Renowned artists prepare ‘street’ works for Without Walls Festival By Diana Saenger The chilly morning at the La Jolla Playhouse’s outdoor event on Jan. 11 was warmed by an exciting announcement about its inaugural Without Walls (WoW) Festival, set for venues throughout La Jolla, Oct. 3-6. Funded by the James Irvine Foundation, the 12 to 15 one-of-a-kind site-based works will be created by local, national and international artists who are already hard at work on their projects. The WoW Festival will be a mix of free and ticketed events with a maximum ticket price of $25. Each event will include food trucks, drink venues and salons featuring artist talks. “My hope is that this festival puts us at the leading edge of site-specific art in the U.S. and that this festival is one of many,” said Playhouse Artist Director Christopher Ashley. He pointed out that more than 600 specific-site art festivals take place every year in Europe, but almost none occur in the United States. The Playhouse had good response to last year’s WoW experiment and wanted to expand such productions. “This is work without official walls that challenges the notions of form and place, and is predicated on the idea that the art is not

The WoW Festival projects, in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Arts San Diego (MCASD) and UC San Diego Theatre and Dance, will come from artists returning to work at the Playhouse and others participating for the first time. In some cases, audience members and actors will actually share a meal together. Here’s what’s planned: n Tom Dugdale, who earned his M.F.A. degree in directing from UCSD and his B.A. in theatre from Dartmouth College, will direct, “Our Town.” Dugdale’s vision is Thornton Wilder’s

classic re-imagined with an intimate backyard gathering featuring live, original music and real-time video assemblage. n The widely popular “Car Plays: San Diego,” from last year’s festival, returns with new work. Conceived by Paul Stein and produced by Moving Arts (a resident artist company performing in the model of voyeuristic intimacy), the plays will allow only two audience members at a time. n Based on a Chekhov play, Jay Scheib’s project, “Platonov,” will take place in and out of a unique modular house to create a carnival atmosphere. Scheib is a 2011 Guggenheim Fellow and a recipient of the Edgerton Award, The Richard Sherwood Award, and the NEA/TCG Program for Directors. He is known for works of daring physicality,

It will revolve around eight characters who are lost in a city. They move together, each carrying a suitcase and a souvenir. n MCASD will present works by visual and performance artists James Luna, Kate Gilmore and Jacolby Satterwhite. In a new work commissioned by MCASD, Luna will take up the iconic image of the American Indian storyteller as a vehicle for his narratives of contemporary Indian life. His fireside stories incorporate multimedia projections and live music, interweaving past and present, autobiography and cultural identity, and
genre-defying performances, and a deep integration of new technologies. n “100% San Diego,” a customized, reality-based piece by the German theater group, Rimini Protokoll, will feature a look at San Diego County’s population as represented by 100 people. Each participant will be chosen according to statistical criteria, which reflects the city’s demographics from U.S. Census data. n Puppeteer Basil Twist, who recently worked on the Playhouse’s “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots,” envisions his project as creatures coming from the Pacific Ocean onto the shores at La Jolla to profile the magic and vitality of the ocean. n The Polyglot Company from Australia will produce “We Built This City,” using families and kids to build a
poignancy and humor. The projects by Gilmore and Satterwhite will be announced shortly. n MCASD will also present a version of its signature TNT event (Thursday Night Thing) at La Jolla Playhouse on Thursday, Oct. 3. TNTs are held about three times a year at MCASD’s downtown location with artist talks, performances, hands-on activities and live music and cocktails — all inspired by the exhibitions on view. “We at the museum like that the WoW Festival really aligns with how we view ourselves, commissioning artists to make new work and giving them the opportunity to expand their artistic horizons. (WoW allows us) to meet our artists in a different way,” said Hugh M. Davies, executive director of MCASD.

Touch down Super Bowl Sunday with foods from the seafood capitals such faves as Andouille and Boiudin sausages — push pedestrian bratwursts to the sidelines. Cut sausages in quarters and wrap in puff pastry for a riff on pigs in a blanket. Serve with Cajun dipping sauces with varying degrees of hotness. Po-Boys are monster stuffed sandwiches on French bread which can be swapped out for brown pumpernickel loaves, resembling edible footballs. For pescavores, bake a heap of barbecue shrimp in their shells bathed in olive oil, garlic and bay leaves with a side of dirty rice or jambalaya. Big Easy Gumbo, an okra seafood stew, can be tweaked by adding red and white kidney beans for a Super Bowl-friendly version. Traditional munchies include crunchy praline, a confection of pecans, brown sugar, butter and vanilla, or for savory palates sprinkle a dash of cayenne and sea salt.

ailgate parties will be heating up in the Big Easy on Feb. 3 making a pit stop at New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome 6:30 p.m. ET. Super Bowl XLVII kicks off with a touch of Cajun spice, some San Francisco sourdough (the 49ers), Baltimore bivalves and crustaceans (Baltimore Ravens), and a friendly sibling rivalry as the Harbaugh bros vie against each other. Paying homage to a pair of seasoned coaching brothers and a trio of seafood towns, here’s a primer on how to quarterback a winning Big Game shindig.
Frisco Foods For some San Francisco treats, whip up a plate of sourdough bruschetta topped with pitted whole black olives reminiscent of mini footballs, or grilled Bay scallops with chopped garlic
Gumbo Jumbo New Orleans cuisine, a marriage of Canadian Cajun and European Creole flavors will spice up any party with
and tomatoes. Top crispy flat breads with San Fran’s famous Crab Louie salad accompanied by a mug of seafood cioppino, a staple of North Beach, San Francisco’s Little Italy. In honor of Chinatown, serve some Asian fingerfoods including sesame jumbo shrimp, football-shaped chicken balls, veggie spring rolls with ginger-mango dipping sauce and a pile of almond cookies and custom-made chocolatedipped fortune cookies with kitschy messages inside. Of course, San Francisco (or the upper East Bay city of Martinez) lays as solid a claim as any to the origin of the martini. So shake up a batch, James Bond-style. Do a purple martini representative of the color of the Ravens uniforms and bursting with antioxidant blueberry or grape juices, or a cranberry martini paying tribute to the red threads of the 49ers. Maryland Munchies Ravens fans can chow down on some Chesapeake Bay delights like crab cake sliders or a gooey crab dip

Bird Rock has an art attack as five new galleries open on La Jolla Blvd.

By Linda Hutchison Traffic may have slowed down in Bird Rock thanks to traffic circles, but a budding, bustling artistic community is very much on the move. Now home to several art galleries — with three opening in just the last few months — Bird Rock is cultivating and enjoying a new reputation as a mini art hub. This comes as no surprise to local artist Jane Wheeler, founder of the Bird Rock Artist Guild. “Bird Rock has an artistic vibe that is starting to grow. It is a very creative, entrepreneurial, grass-roots and tight-knit community. It has a lot of soul and I feel embraces the artistic spirit,” she said. Wheeler, who created the mosaic benches lining La Jolla Boulevard, added that one of her favorite quotes is “Art reflects

munity since 1996 with an event and wedding planning business, Anseth Richards opened the Art Nest two months ago. Just as she offers event planners a con-
venient meeting space, she wanted to give artists a place to meet and space to hang their work. “There are many creative artists without their own studios or galleries and this offers them a creative home, a nest,” she said. “We are eclectic and have something for everyone, all kinds of mediums, ceramics, paper art, oil painting, watercolor, photography, jewelry, mosaics.” Richards runs the gallery with her husband Keith and daughter Sienna Feerrar. She enjoys hosting a show for each new artist and also rents out the gallery for private events. The Richards do not take commission for any sales, but encourage artists to contribute to their non-profit, women’s health organization,CHEERS nationalcheersfoundation.org

EXPERT ADVICE
FROM ART, B18 Bird Rock Arts Gallery Also providing a gathering place for artists is Bird Rock Arts Gallery, which opened last spring. Owner Maria Parenteau offers gallery and studio space for a variety of artists including painters, sculptors and even shoe designers. One of her favorite artists is Iranian-born Jinah Abood, who uses coffee as a media for her paintings. Parenteau also teaches creativity workshops for artists based on The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. “Many artists who first came for the workshops are now giving back by teaching here,” she said. Two of her regular contributing artists and consultants include Sherilyn Clayes (feelinginspired.me) and Fernando Pinon (arthouseunited.com). Parenteau, who is originally from Brazil, is also enthusiastic about bringing people together. “I’d like to see this become another SoHo,” she said. She said she plans to spearhead a monthly art fair in the parking lot adjacent to her building. Bird Rock Coffee Roasters Chuck Patton, chief coffee roaster and owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is converting one side of his cafe into an arts cooperative for art and music. Already a popular music venue on weekend mornings, the space will now feature artwork, with the help of Jane Wheeler. Currently on display is the work of Michelle Anise Mackey, who paints acrylic abstracts, and Ryder Mackey, her husband, who sculpts with wood and paper. “This is a way of supporting the local art and music scene,” said Patton. A portion of any proceeds from sales benefits Art Reach, which brings art into local schools. GALERIe Another new art venue is GALERIe, which opened in September. The gallery features artwork, jewelry and clothing, all with ecologically and socially conscious themes and materials. Owner Sejla Holland is passionate about her commitment to supporting artists and designers who are recognized in the “green” world.

Designer Kao Pao Shu creates beautiful dresses, jackets and purses out of recycled ribbons and seat belts. “Even though these are made of organic or recycled materials, there’s no compromise with style,” said Holland. Other artists she features include Praire Underground, SunLight Paris, Cop Copine and skunkfunk. Originally from Bosnia, Holland has helped organize exhibits to benefit Bosnian orphans. Holland calls her model “buying with purpose, so customers understand what we support.” Her original store in Laguna Beach was successful, but with a fulltime director’s job at CareFusion and a daughter at Bird Rock Elementary, Holland needed to be closer to home. She hopes to promote the community support and spirit here. “I want this to be for the community, the people,” she said. Prodigy School of the Arts
Filling the gap in school arts education is Prodigy School of the Arts. The school was founded in 2007 by musician and singer Erin Roberts Hall. With six teachers, it offers classes in art and music for children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, and regular art shows featuring the work of teachers and students. General Manager Alex Dausch oversees the art shows, the day-to-day running of the school and teaches guitar. “I enjoy coming in every day knowing I’m doing something good,” he said. “The children grow by leaps and bounds. In just a year you can see the difference. It’s a great thing in a community like this, to see the support.” Wheeler said the movement should continue to grow. “The galleries offer another layer of art encounters. Art helps keep things fresh and exciting, as well as adds balance to a fast-paced, technologically driven lifestyle. I think Bird Rock enjoys art in all forms and will continue to creatively percolate.”

From Athenaeum reports
FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 I am moved by this novel about a former foster youth finding her way in life outside the system. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? This is the Wellesley woman talking, but I imagine a dinner of powerhouse women would be fascinating — Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary Harriman (founder of the first Junior League), my Wellesley girls Madeline Albright and Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Nora Ephron, Katharine Hepburn and my mom, Susan Harris! What is your mostprized possession? I started to say my kids … but they aren’t really possessions. We have several items that have been passed
down from grandparents — an old-fashioned phone that came from Matt’s family’s farm in Minnesota, an “Army-Navy” tablecloth that my grandmother used to use when entertaining, a scarf that I remember my other grandmother letting me use to play dress-up. I love these links with my family’s past. What is it that you most dislike? Disingenuousness. I like people who say what they mean and mean what they say. What do you do for fun? I am an avid reader and try to spend a little time each day doing something creative, whether taking photos, drawing or playing around with graphic design. My husband and I love to give dinner parties where we cook together and have a group of guests that jell. We particularly love our

Wine, Roses, & Chocolate PHOTO CONTEST
gourmet club — five couples that get together every other month and make absolutely spectacular dinners with wonderful conversation and loads of laughter! What is your motto or philosophy of life? I recently bought my daughter a shirt with the motto, “Be the good in the world.” To me that is one to live by, but I would add to it — “Be the good in the world, and laugh while doing it!” What would be your dream vacation? Last year I had the lifechanging experience of conducting educational research in Ghana on the west coast of Africa. I now want to go back and explore more of this continent — maybe a trip down the Nile! Every time I get to explore this world, it makes me want to go even farther abroad!

Knock-your-socks-off Super Bowl wings 425 degrees F. Combine sauce ingredients in a saucepan, heat low until butter is melted. Season ■ Ingredients: wings with sea salt and • 2 dozen chicken wings cracked pepper. Brush sauce • 3/4 cup hot sauce liberally on wings. Bake • 1/4 cup butter until they reach 165 degrees. • 3 garlic cloves, minced Cook on the grill until • 1 teaspoon brown sugar desired crispiness. (Add or honey more butter to hot sauce for ■ Method: Preheat oven to milder heat). Courtesy of Chef Matt, The Commons
FROM KITCHEN SHRINK, B17 with an assortment of raw veggies from purple carrots and cauliflower florets (go Ravens) to red peppers and radishes (go 49ers). Try oyster fritters or steamed oysters in the shell with a garlic olive oil drizzle (while February passes the rule of thumb test for safely eating oysters since it’s a month containing the letter “R”). For your just desserts, serve the “official state dessert” called Smith Island cake, a towering yellow cake layered with divine chocolate fudge icing. Love Grub Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, casts a wider gustatory net than the type-
cast Philly cheesesteaks (stuffing sliced beef and melted cheese between a crusty roll which makes for good Super Bowl fare.) This town is hoagie heaven, making “everything and the kitchen sink” sandwiches, soft pretzels, Turkish-spiced donuts, Cap ‘n Crunch cod fish tacos, soft, mozzaella-esque burrata perfect for snacks and sandwiches, Italian ices and handcrafted sodas. Local Wing King These quintessential Super Bowl eats must be prepared with masterful technique — you can’t just wing it. Chef Matt Ham of The Commons in The Gaslamp District brings his eclectic pub grub skills to this fledgling sports
bar. This wing specialist serves roughly 4,000 meaty monster buffalo wings a week, offered in 10 flavors, from volcanic honey mustard to spicy ranch that go down nicely with local craft beers from Stone Brewery and Ballast Point. For San Francisco 49ers fans, Chef Matt recommends Chinatown-inspired wing sauces and garnishes like sesame seeds, hoison sauce and chopped scallions, while Ravens fans can add assorted chopped peppers to the hot sauce. Always have blue cheese and ranch dressings on hand for dipping with celery and carrot sticks. For more Big Game recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

La Jolla has hidden microneighborhoods, but you just have to know where Upper Hermosa changes to Lower Hermosa, which part of Country Club doesn’t touch the golf course, and where to find Soledad South, the Old Muirlands, Bird Rock, and La Jolla Mesa. Where did these designations come from? According to REBA, a group of Real Estate agents laid them out decades ago in an effort to bring organization to showing property here. Beach-Barber Tract, La Jolla Shores Heights, Hidden Valley, the Village — once you get the hang of it, it all makes sense. Locals know their neighborhoods, and so do REBA agents. REBA has a free, portable, old-school, fold-up map of La Jolla and surrounding area, printed in a large, readable font. The maps are available for the asking from Kathy Steever at the REBA offices, 908 Kline St. Visitors find them useful, since La Jolla is not laid out on a Midwestern-style grid.
