■ Some advice for
2011 fiscal fitness Page A4
BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Following the federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling that the Mount Soledad cross on federally owned property is unconstitutional, legal scholars think the issue ultimately could be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. But it’s even more likely that whether the cross as a Christian symbol constitutes an unconstitutional “government preference” for religion, will be tested one last time in the local court system before possibly moving to a larger stage. “The only place for it to go higher than the Ninth Circuit is the U.S. Supreme Court,” said Glenn Smith, professor of constitutional law at California Western School of Law. “But the current (9th Circuit) summary judgment lets it go back down to the district court to let that court decide what should happen.”

Both medical centers have big plans in La Jolla BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer f you get the sense there’s competition between UCSD Medical Center and Scripps Health, you’re right, although the CEOs won’t actually say it in as many words. Both of San Diego’s major medical providers are in the midst of major expansions and have CEOs who contend their facilities are the best around. Chris Van Gorder says Scripps is aiming to continue the legacy

of Ellen Browning Scripps who donated money 86 years ago for Scripps Memorial Hospital and the Scripps Metabolic Clinic as a “compassionate place of caring” for the ill and injured and as a place to “to research new and promising treatments.” His counterpart at UCSD, Tom Jackiewicz, says the goal at UCSD is to “hold ourselves out as the best on the planet.” One can just picture them walking through their neighboring sites off Genesee Avenue — each wondering what cuttingedge piece of equipment or patient-focused feature the other is including.

Just to the north, at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, work is expected to start in June on a project that calls for three new hospital towers, two medical office buildings and an outpatient center.

La Jolla mystery: Who damaged the 52-year-old Torrey pine? BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer A half-century-old Torrey pine in Bird Rock may just have been “murdered.” The “victim” at 5372 Calumet Ave. across from San Colla Street is not yet dead, according to Gerald S. Kibby, who sent a note to the Light. But wounds inflicted in the form of circular cuts made around its base by an unknown assailant may ultimately prove fatal. “I have been trying to add shade and beauty to the neighborhood. ... My limbs and foliage have been trimmed regularly so as to improve the view of the ocean,” wrote Kibbey, executor of the Eunice M. Rice Estate

Kudos to Etceteras Home & Garden Antiques at 7503 Girard Ave. for its nostalgic plantings and front-window display. “Those were all old pieces that were salvaged from an old farm,” said Tina Henely Walshaw who, along with her mother, Celia Henely, runs the 2-year-old antique shop. The eye-catching front-window display showcases reproductions of bus signs in England that have been “localized.” “We decided to custom make those here only with the names of the beaches of La Jolla,” said Tina Henely Walshaw, a native La Jollan. “I grew up in La Jolla.

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer La Jolla merchants on Monday took some big steps toward forming a new nonprofit entity that stands to get a contract with the city to manage the downtown Village business improvement district. At a forum attended by about 30 business owners and residents — about 2 percent of those who pay fees into the business district — committee members proposed a new name and budget, and gave a progress report on proposed by-laws. Participants also debated how best to get out word about nominating prospective board members after the consultant hired by the city to assist in forming the group said some business owners did not get the first mailing last week. “This is the most important meeting we’ve had in two years,” said Phil Coller, owner of Everett Stunz, a luxury bedding and linens store on Girard Avenue. He spoke for the budget committee, one of three working groups laying the groundwork for the new group ,which was tasked with figuring out how to allocate approximately $170,000 in available funds for the next fiscal year, starting July 1. Coller said the initial proposal is to allocate 35 percent of available funds for office and personnel, 25 percent to both SEE BID, A9

Financial advisers offer tips down the road to fiscal fitness The Light asked some financial advisers around town for their No. 1 tip for fiscal fitness in 2011. Here’s what they suggested. ■ A.J. Gupta, UBS Financial Services, Inc.: This is a great time to take an authentic look at your financial situation and ask yourself the following questions: • Am I happy with my financial situation? • Do I have written goals and objectives?
• Do I have an updated comprehensive financial plan? • Should I review my estate plan given the recent tax changes? • When was the last time I auditA.J. ed the titling Gupta of assets and beneficiary designations to make sure everything was set up to respect my wishes?
• Does my investment strategy reflect my objectives and tolerance to risk? • When was the last time my financial adviser, CPA and estate attorney reviewed my financial situation together? • Do I understand the fees I am paying? • Am I overextended with leverage? • What are successful investors in my situation doing that I am not? If you are not happy with the answers you gave, sched-
ule a comprehensive financial review with a wealth adviser. Gupta, CIMA, senior vice president-Investments, wealth adviser, heads up the San Diego County wealth management teams for UBS, one of the world’s leading wealth management firms. ■ Arthur Q.

businesslike.” Investing in common stock or a corporate bond represents an ownership interest in or claim against a business enterprise. If an investor Arthur Q. seeks to Johnson make profits from the purchase and sale of securities, he or she is embarking on a investment operation that not only requires they know as much about the business enterprise as possible, but that it provide for a reasonable profit based on arithmetic not optimism nor speculation. Mr. Graham concludes in the final chapter of his book, “You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you. You are right because your data and reasoning are right.” Johnson, CFA, is president and chief investment officer of A.Q. Johnson & Co., Inc., a registered investment advisory firm in La Jolla. ■ Scott Kyle, Coastwise Capital Group: The end of the year is a time of reflection — filled with emotions as you reminisce over the year past. But Scott when it Kyle comes to investing, leave emotions at the door along with the mistletoe.My advice to be financially fit in 2011 is to invest with the left side of your brain. It’s all too easy to get caught up in a feeding frenzy (I’m not talking about seconds on the pecan pie) and buy the newest ‘hot’ stock … after its price has jumped 20 percent. It’s just as common for your portfolio to get dragged down in the panic — when everyone is selling and then you decide to join the crowd. Don’t let emotions drive you. Remember your goals, think rationally and act accordingly. Kyle is CEO and chief investment officer of La Jollabased Coastwise Capital Group, an independent money management firm. ■ Aubrey Morrow, Financial Designs, Ltd.: My No. 1 tip for financial fitness
in 2011 is to live within your means. Strive to become debt-free regardless of your income and follow these steps. Maintain enough in checking to cover oneAubrey month’s exMorrow penses; then keep three to six months in liquid reserves for emergencies or opportunities in a saving or money market account. Next, start chipping away of all non-deductible debts starting with the highest interest rate debt. Next, with low-interest rates, consider refinancing home or investment properties with taxdeductible interest. Max out all available retirement accounts including Roth IRAs then start a personal investment savings program with a diversified portfolio of a global portfolio of stocks, bonds, real estate and alternative investments. Why? Your financial future is up to you. Morrow, a Certified Financial Planner, is president of Financial Designs, Ltd., and host of The Financial Advisors on KOGO AM 600 each Saturday at 8 a.m. ■ Jeff Siegel, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.: The No. 1 New Year’s resolution for fitness in 2011 is moderation — in food, exercise and Jeff most espeSiegel cially in your financial fitness! Look for reasonable growth from a balanced portfolio that encompasses the following areas of opportunities: • Invest in companies that generate sales globally. • Invest in companies that consistently give increasing dividends. • Invest in emerging markets as they hold opportunities for growth. • REITS are great as they must return 90 percent of cash-flow back to the investor. • Consider investments that help you cope with inflation, the benefit of these investments may increase as the cost of living increases.

Michele Addington heading out of La Jolla BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Longtime La Jolla community activist Michele Addington is moving out of La Jolla and resigning her posts on several advisory group boards. Addington announced she was resigning as a trustee at La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA’s) Jan. 6 meeting. She also is a past member of La Jolla Town Council who currently chair’s the town council’s Parks and Beaches Committee, which is in the process of separating from the dues-paying council and forming a new independent nonprofit entity. Under new guidelines being enforced by the city, local groups making recommendations to the city on parks and recreation must be nonprofit.

its own city. A 13-year La Jolla resident, Addingtonlives on Eads Avenue. She said her property sold much more quickly than anticipated. “In seven days and I had two offers,” she said. “I was absolutely unprepared.” A native of Nice, France, Addington said she intends to move to downtown San Diego and become involved in civic affairs there. “I was born in the big city,” she said. “I’m basically down-
sizing. There is even a greater need (civic involvement) in downtown San Diego and so many more groups.” Addington already is involved in a civic group doing planning for a new downtown San Diego library. Addington, who has also lived in Australia, said it’s important to get involved in community affairs. “I’m just trying to help out,” she said. “I have no motive other than to just do community work.”

A Second Home for Fun and Profit If a second home is attractive to you but you are not sure you can afford it, consider a second home that doubles as a rental property. Buying a second home as a rental property may also make a great addition to your retirement plan. An experienced real estate agent can help you evaluate the factors involved in the purchase of rental real estate including down payment, tax benefits such as depreciation, deductible interest, deductible home owner’s association fees, and other costs. Most experts predict the interest rates will remain low for the foreseeable future, so it might be easier to qualify for that second home than you think. Prices in our coastal areas are at all-time lows. Now may just be the time to make that second home dream come true.

CROSS CURRENTS
FROM CROSS, A1 Smith said the 9th Circuit’s recent decision turned on answering one legal question: What is the primary or predominant message sent to an average observer of a religious symbol on government property? “The 9th Circuit said the cross is unconstitutional because a 43-foot cross dominates the whole landscape, and the message that’s created by the cross is that it supports the Christian religion,” he said. “The 9th Circuit Court of Appeal could hear the case as an en banc panel of 13 or more judges,” noted Dave Steinberg, professor of law at Thomas Jefferson School of Law. If the Soledad cross case should make it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, Steinberg said it’s difficult to assess whether the nation’s highest court would lean toward allowing the landmark symbol to stay, or order it to be removed. “The Supreme Court has decided these religious symbol cases really on a case-by-case basis,” he said. “The historic pedigree of a religious symbol is important. Something that’s been around a long time is more likely to be upheld. That helps the cross. The fact that crosses have been used traditionally as grave markers in veterans’ cemeteries, that helps. What hurts is the courts have been most inclined to uphold religious symbols that are parts of larger monuments. The Soledad cross is distinguishable because it stands alone: That hurts.”
The Light asked guests visiting the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial on Jan. 5 for their thoughts were on the latest court decision regarding the landmark cross, saying it was unconstitutional. Here’s what they had to say: ■ Friends Beverly Shalek and Jacquie Woods, who walk their dogs every day at the Korean war memorial. “I thought the whole thing was over with and then it gets dredged up again. It’s just a shame. I don’t know why people object. If they don’t like it, they don’t have to look at it.” — Beverly Shalek “The thing is, it’s been here for so long. It’s part of the history of the area.” — Jacquie Woods
Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Everett S. ‘Judge’ Penik was among those attending the Mount Soledad Memorial Association’s Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 6. He died 11 days later. JEROD HARRIS The Mount Soledad Memorial has been the subject of ongoing litigation since 1989 when Philip Paulson sued the city of San Diego seeking to prohibit it from allowing the cross to remain on city land. Paulson has since died, but the case continues under the stewardship of his attorney, Jim McElroy, who, on behalf of Jewish war veterans, is contending the cross is primarily a religious display and not the centerpiece of a war memorial, as those seeking to keep it on the mountaintop maintain. Charles Berwanger, attorney for the
Mount Soledad Memorial Association, noted the 9th Circuit, which could review the Soledad cross case once again with an en banc panel of judges, has ruled on it three times previously. Another legal avenue to pursue, he said, would be to submit a writ of certiorari asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. “The Supreme Court only hears 1 or 2 percent of the cases petitioned to it,” he said. “But this case has been around 22 years. It’s been to the 9th Circuit four times. It’s got a lot of pizzazz, a lot of curb appeal.”

Soledad memorial cross in the wake of the Ninth Circuit Court’s ruling that the cross as a religious symbol is unconstitutional on federally owned land will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 15 at the memorial site. “For more than a half-century, the Mount Soledad Memorial has been a fixture of the San Diego Community honoring the service and sacrifice of the brave Americans whose stories are told by the monument’s plaques, and millions of others who served in defense of our nation,“ Lynne Welke, cross supporter and rally organize, wrote in an e-mail. “Vigorously defend the Memorial Cross in response to the recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit declaring the sacred memorial unconstitutional.”

FROM BID, A3 design and beautification and outreach and promotion, leaving 15 percent to be used as “seed money” for special events. Robert Lane, a member of the identity committee who is an advertising representative for the La Jolla Light, said they settled, after much discussion on the name La Jolla Village Merchants Association. “We felt it was important the name be easily identifiable to new merchants moving into La Jolla who would see the name and feel immediately that the name would include them,” he said. Realtor Claudette Berwin, another member of the identity committee, added that
they "really struggled with business versus merchants. Merchants has a much better sound to it, while business is more inclusive of those who aren’t retailers. Business seemed stuffy and a little bit more vague than merchants.” La Jolla landlord and community planner Bob Collins said he felt Village ought to be dropped from the new name because it could preclude expansion by limiting the group to a geographically defined area, but consultant Mike McLaughlin said that was an issue that could be dealt with later. Now, he said, the group is limited by the established boundaries of the 30-block district that encompasses about 1,200 businesses. Speaking on behalf of the
Atkins,Gleason head Victory Fund Two San Diegans were recently elected to the board of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, one of the nation's largest political action committees. Susan Atkins is the new chair of the organization and Robert Gleason was elected vice-chair. “I am honored to lead the Victory Fund as it celebrates its 20th anniversary and enters its third decade working to grow the number of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender elected officials in government,” said Atkins, who has worked for
more than 20 year in communications management in life sciences and technology. She is the first woman to chair the Victory Fund board since it restructured in 2006. Gleason is currently the chief financial officer and general counsel of Evans Hotels, which owns and operates commercial properties and resorts, including The Lodge at Torrey Pines as well as the Bahia Resort Hotel and Catamaran Resort Hotel.

by-laws committee, Tom Brady described drafting a new set of by-laws as “a work in progress.” Michelle Lerach, owner of Cups La Jolla, said the panel had reviewed bylaws from other business groups such as Mission Hills, to help it craft its own set of operating rules appropriate for La Jolla. “We hope to have a final draft done by Feb. 11,” she said.

Calumet Avenue Torrey pine, whose gnarled limbs drape over the street and embrace its surroundings, was given to Rice, a dentist, as a gift when the oceanfront home was built in 1958. Rice’s widow, Eunice, died on April 30, 2010. Kibbey surmised a skill saw may have been used to wound the tree and that it likely was done by someone local. “They may think this (tree) is in the way of their view,” he noted about the motive. “It’s a darn shame.” The estate’s executor said the sliced-open Torrey pine’s trunk is oozing a sticky substance on its side facing the vacant home. “We have filed a police report,” Kibbey said. “Obviously, if they catch this person, there’s going to be very severe charges against them. We would dearly love to have some information from somebody who might have seen or heard something.” Without having seen the Calumet Torrey pine, Drew Potocki, an urban forester and the city’s right-of-way design arborist, said it’s possible the tree may not be a goner. “Every tree is different with different thickness of bark and sapwood,” he said. “Hopefully, this guy didn’t know what he was doing.” Potocki said Torrey pines are valuable. “I’ve appraised mature, well-placed Torrey pines at $100,000,” he said, adding
that the pines are protected in areas other than the Torrey Pines State Park preserve in northern La Jolla bordering Del Mar. “Through the municipal code we have the ability to protect them on all the lands owned or overseen by the city of San Diego, which is all your parks, all your government-owned building properties, i.e. fire stations, libraries, and all (public) rights-of-way,” Potocki said. But the city doesn not have jurisidiction over Torrey pines elsewhere. “The ones on private property we don’t regulate,” Potocki added. Trees are increasingly coming into harm’s way citywide because of all the development and redevelopment that’s continually going on, said Potocki. “No matter where you go in the city, there’s something — construction, repair or reconfiguration — happening in the right-ofway,” Potocki said. “Someone is putting in a new driveway, or a new water line, or a new traffic signal or cutting through the curb: There are just a lot of amenities in the street right-of-way where trees typically are found, and at times that can cause conflict. It’s just inevitable.” Kibbey concluded in his email about the damaged Calumet Torrey pine that, “For those in the area who have enjoyed my presence, ‘I say a fond good bye.’ For my killers, ‘I say why?’ ”

Excellence in Plastic Surgery
Building on philanthropy Because Scripps depends so much on philanthropy for support, it must be a “high-quality provider” and must run as a good business, he added, noting that UCSD can lean on government support because it is a state institution. Jackiewicz also sees costs and efficiencies as a critical factor in the medical center’s operaTom tions and Jackiewicz notes that investments like those made by Irwin and Joan Jacobs are critical to its future success. Van Gorder said that as Scripps officials considered the future —which includes a need to meet state seismic requirements that make it more practical to rebuild than retrofit —“we’ve taken a long, 25-year view of what we will build and need, in terms of technology and making it more green.” Coupled with limited land and California Coastal Commission regulations that limit the ability to raise the height of Scripps Green Hospital on Torrey Pines Road, it “made sense to be more visionary about the replacement,” he added. Meeting the needs of San Diego Scripps’ master plan for its $2 billion, 43-acre regional medical center will emphasize greater collaboration between Memorial and Green hospitals.

Each man waves the banner of being award-winning medical complexes with a broad expanse of specialties, and each renders an opinion on his center’s role in the healthcare landscape. Jackiewicz put it this way: “We provide really good healthcare and are focused on how we can get better. … We want to be as good as we can be and raise our game. Scripps wants to be as good as us. …. If we both succeed, it’s a winwin for the community.” Van Gorder’s take is of Scripps as a “healthcare community” that aims to deliver high-quality care and “meet unmet needs.” He added: “It’s not just a hospital, it’s a mindset.”

Map shows proximity of the two medical centers. ty, two medical office buildings, research and graduate education facilities, an outpatient center and more parking are planned. Meanwhile, Green will shift to more outpatient services. A press release describes the project: “Patients will have all of their healthcare needs met in one location, from wellness, prevention and advanced diagnostics … to the latest medical and surgical treatments …” At UCSD, seemingly a stone’s throw away, construction on the 10-story, 457,000-square-foot addition is expected to begin in 2012. It includes a new cancer hospital, a hospital for women and infants, and one for advanced surgery, complementing the existing Thornton Hospital. Jackiewicz says by being a “center for innovation” the university medical center should also be able to “attract patients from beyond San Diego … with programs only we can really bring.” Collaborate or not? While he said he does not confer with Van Gorder, he notes there are opportunities to explore coordinated care. “We don’t always need to duplicate,” Jackiewicz said. Today UCSD is in a partnership with Sharp Healthcare for bone marrow transplants and Scripps, the largest provider of cardiac services in the state, recently expanded its cardiovascular services agreement with Kaiser for 30 years. He points to what he calls a “pyramid of healthcare” that includes academic med-
ical centers like Johns Hopkins, Harvard and Duke that bring research and clinical efforts together at the highest levels, adding that’s where UCSD fits in. Scripps fits into the “community hospital” slot, he said. “We don’t look at Scripps as competition.” Van Gorder disputes the “academic” exclusivity Chris Jackiewicz Van Gorder claims for UCSD, noting that Scripps too provides graduate postgraduate training programs and internships even though it is not a medical school. “We were here before anyone else … we’re not going away,” he said. While there’s disagreement about how to serve San Diego’s health needs —and little conversation between the two that has roots in the decision to locate UCSD’s medical center near Scripps Memorial — they concur that nobody should have to leave San Diego to get the care they need. And they agree that as the local population grows older, the community’s medical needs are changing and influencing the direction healthcare institutions are taking. “San Diego is blessed to have very good healthcare,” Van Gorder said. “I don’t think the people know how good they have it.” Jackiewicz echoed his Scripps counterpart: “San Diego is very blessed to have good providers.”

La Jollan needs votes to win Super Bowl ad contest BY LINDA THOMPSON Contributor La Jolla High School graduate Tyler Dixon (Class of 1994) just won $25,000 by creating a commercial for this year’s Crash the Super Bowl contest. Dixon’s entry, “The Best Part,” is one of the 10 finalists selected from 5,600 commercial submissions made about Doritos and Pepsi Max. But the contest doesn’t stop there. The next stage is what Dixon considers to be a million-dollar uphill battle — to have his commercial aired during the Super Bowl — and he needs your help to do it. Myles Worthington of Ketchum Public Relations explained how the contest works. “As the contest enters its next phase, Doritos and Pepsi MAX fans in the United States are invited to vote for their favorite ads, helping to ultimately decide which spots air on the Super Bowl stage. Consumers can vote once daily per brand at www.crashthesuperbowl.com. “If during the Super Bowl, consumer-created Doritos or Pepsi MAX ads sweep the top three rankings of the USA TODAY Ad Meter, their creators will take home a
shared $5 million prize. In addition, the fan who creates the highest-ranking Doritos or Pepsi MAX ad will win a guaranteed contract to create an additional ad for the two brands in 2011.” Dixon needs help from La Jolla residents to earn a high ranking for his commercial and asks all to vote for his work at www.voteforthebestpart.com, if they deem it worthy. He said contest rules preclude spending money on advertising to gain votes, but mentioned Facebook, Twitter, and word-ofmouth as an acceptable means. “The La Jolla support would mean a lot to me,” he said. Current voting eliminates five commercials, after which three of the five ads will be aired during the Super Bowl. Dixon could win $1 million if the USA Today poll reveals his commercial is the best of all those shown on game-day. Dixon said his ad required very little brainstorming to develop and it only took him 10 minutes to write the two-scene script. It’s based on his love for eating Doritos and the ritual of licking his cheese-stained fingers afterward. He professed the Doritos' “most flavorable part” is the condensed cheese that is left behind on the fingers and hands, which he
dubbed “cheesy dust.” His commercial demonstrates one man’s extreme behavior to eat cheesy dust because “it tastes that good.” The finger-licking scene required 42 takes to capture a friend’s facial expressions. The second scene required Dixon create breakaway pants to show a coworker's desperation to eat cheesy dust off a pair of pants. Dixon said he had to remove all the stitches so the pants would pull off. Dixon was able to keep his budget low, at $82, by borrowing equipment and using two non-professional acting friends. The second scene was done in one take because his friend had to leave to go to class! The whole commercial was completed in four to five hours. (Dixon would like to thank another friend, Mark Anderson, for letting him use his high-definition digital camera to shoot the commercial.) Dixon said when he told his parents about the news of his contest win during his holiday visit home to La Jolla, “They went crazy.” He explained that even in high school, he had dreams of being a filmmaker or comedy writer, however, he considered the dream to be unrealistic and unattainable.

You can vote for Tyler Dixon at www.voteforthebestpart.com. Voting ends Monday, Jan. 30. Kick-off for the 46th Super Bowl will be 3:25 p.m. (Pacific) Feb. 6. The game will be played indoors at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas and broadcast on NBC. COURTESY stead, he became a history major at Brigham Young University with the intention of going to law school. In the ensuing next 10 years, he said he worked jobs that stifled his creativity. After losing one such job, he decided to jump on his dream and start writing. He set up an informal production studio be-
cause he was “tired of waiting around for someone else to approve my work.” Now he supports his writing by working as a satellite TV door-todoor salesman in Utah. Winning the contest would open the door to achieving his “unreachable” dream. Votes from La Jollans could help make this dream come true.

Happy New Year, neighbors Editor’s note: In light of the shootings in Tucson over the weekend and what we see as increasing rancor in public debate, we think Joe’s comments below deserved special emphasis. La Jollans should take his words about building a strong community to heart.
BY JOE DICKS Chairman, La Jolla Shores Association Another year has passed and a new year has begun. This is always a time for reflection, and recent events have me thinking a lot about what it takes to build a strong community. What I have concluded on this point is really quite simple. But, first, there’s
COMMUNITY LEADER’S VIEW someone I want to tell you about. … Recently, our dear neighbor Maggie Hahn passed away at the age of 89. Among those who gathered for her memorial service at Mary Star of the Sea were a number of Maggie’s neighbors. At that service, we heard wonderful stories about Maggie’s dynamic younger years. Maggie had campaigned for President Kennedy in the early 60s as one of “The Kennedy Ladies” and she danced at the Inaugural Ball. While Maggie’s life slowed in her later years, one of the most significant stories about Maggie came from
neighbor Barry Graceman who spoke of her steadfast calm during the winter storms of 2005. Barry and his wife Susan (who know a thing or two about being good neighbors) hosted Maggie in their home for a week after a city drainage pipe flooded Maggie’s yard. Yet, in the face of this flood, Maggie was not only undaunted, she was absolutely inspiring to her hosts. You see, Maggie was an optimist, and as a result, she was a good neighbor. She lived in the real world, but she lived here with hope, faith and good cheer. As chair of the La Jolla Shores As-
sociation, why am I telling you about my neighbor, Maggie Hahn? Because I believe that our community is built upon blocks and blocks of good neighbors — neighbors who, like Maggie, share their good cheer with fellow neighbors, day in and day out, year in and year out. The gestures of good neighbors need not be grand — they often come in the form of a wave and smile when you drive by, a “how are you doing” when you see each other on the sidewalk, or an occasional phone call just to say hello. So, this year, how can La Jolla become a stronger community? Let’s start by becoming better neighbors. Wishing you all the best in 2011.

I have been snorkel and scuba diving on the California coast for over 30 years, with most of these dives made off La Jolla Shores when I was teaching scuba diving. I also was a docent at
Scripps Institution of Oceanogrpahy in the ’70s. During these dives I have seen several “rip” currents and been caught in a number of undertows. I also have a degree in marine zoology from San Diego State. With all of the research diving that went along with this degree, I have seen, and learned, how to handle these problems. Here are

some tips that will help you learn to never, ever panic when in the ocean. Undertow is large waves breaking on the victim, causing him to be forced to the bottom. Cure: First and foremost do not panic. If you can remember this rule, the chances of getting to shore will be very good. First, crouch on the bottom like a bullfrog, then when the
waves go by, jump up and take a deep breath. Then go under the next wave and the next until the surge has pushed you all the way back into the beach and safety. Rip current is a strong current flowing seaward at a very strong velocity. This occurrence may be seen by noting a stream of brackish water flowing seaward. If the swimmer is caught in a rip,
he must go with the flow, letting the strong current take him out to sea until the power diminishes. After this, the swimmer can swim parallel to the beach a few hundred meters or so. By doing this simple technique, the swimmer can easily swim into the safety of the beach. As in the case of the undertow, the wise swimmer should never, ever panic.

The future of the print media — specifically newspapers — remains less than clear as the new year dawns. Print journalists face increasing competition from electronic media ranging from talk radio to nationwide television networks and the websites they manage. And although they can hardly be considered news, the posts found on social media sites have value too. Personally, I found out about two major events on Facebook last month long before they broke anywhere else on the Web. The first was the death of hockey writer Jim Kelley, and the second was the fire in Chicago in which two firefighters were killed. I guess it all depends on who you “friend” on Facebook. That’s the point. When you pick up a copy of your local community newspaper, you are “friending” it. True, you can “unfriend” it too, by ignoring it. But chances are someone you know will mention a story
GUEST COMMENTARY or photo in the paper and send you right back to it. Community newspapers are forgiving that way. They wait patiently for casual and dedicated readers alike, much like baseball. Washington Post columnist Thomas Boswell once said you didn’t have to listen to every baseball game on radio, but if you wanted to, you could. It would be there waiting for you. The same goes for your local newspaper. According to a 2010 Siena College Research Institute study, 82 percent of New Yorkers 18 and older say local community newspapers are the best way to know what’s going on in their community. Forty-one percent of readers keep their community newspaper around the house six or more days, according to the National Newspaper Association. That long shelf life — longer than that enjoyed by dailies — translates into more exposure for advertisers. In an era when it seems every
politician is promoting “transparency,” almost one-quarter of all community newspaper readers say they read the public (legal) notices very often. While 71 percent of these readers have Internet access in the home, 66 percent admit they never visit a website of a local government, according to NNA. The local newspaper is the primary source of information about the local community for 49 percent of respondents, also according to NNA. The next best source runs a distant second: friends and relatives at 18 percent. This is not to say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Newspaper readers have adapted to smaller size pages and other changes aimed at reducing costs. As professional journalists, it is our job to ask questions, get both sides of the story, and present the facts without smudging them with our own personal point of view.
That code of ethics makes an easy transition from print to Web, and consumers can place their confidence in sites operated and managed by reputable news agencies. I have no quarrel with Web versions of print media products, provided they uphold that test of legitimacy. Facts don’t matter much to bloggers or those who tweet about something they heard or think they saw. Electronic gossip is still gossip. When it comes to local news, it’s as much about the information as it is the experience. My generation craves accurate information presented in a beautiful form of design that evolved from the days of hot type. And if that news is about your kid’s Little League team, your neighbor’s accomplishment or plans for a new business in town, all the better. Clipping out the article and posting it on the refrigerator is the best form of “friending” I know. David F. Sherman is managing editor of Bee Group Newspapers based in Buffalo, NY.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Broken Yolk expanding its recipe for success BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer The Broken Yolk Café, which started out in 1979 at 1851 Garnet Ave. in Pacific Beach, is broadening its horizons by franchising and reaching out to new destinations. Fresh food quality and casual atmosphere are two main items on the restaurant’s recipe for success. “We are homemade,” owner John Gelastopoulos says about why his family-run restaurant is growing in popularity. “We have real potatoes — not dehydrated. We bake our muffins and biscuits on premises every morning. We have fresh-squeezed orange juice delivered to each of our restaurants every day at 5 a.m. It’s wholesome food, kind of like what grandma used to make back at home.” Gelastopoulos said his restaurant’s menu is extensive, boasting about 30 different kinds of omelettes and 10 different
Eggs benedict is only one of the variety of menu items served at Broken Yolk Cafe. COURTESY kinds of hamburgers and salads, as well as offering some Mexican and Spanish dishes. “A breakfast burrito is one of our major sellers,” he said. The lunch menu includes a host of hot and cold sandwiches. The restaurant devotes as much attention to the ambiance of its facilities as it does to its menu. The space in the original Pacific Beach site more than doubled from 3,000 to 7,500 square feet in 1999. In 2007, the expansion continued with franchising, which has delivered new restaurants in Eastlake, the Gaslamp Quarter downtown,
La Costa and San Marcos. Will there ever be a Broken Yolk in La Jolla? “We wouldn’t mind,” said Gelastopoulos. “We just need to find a location.” Gelastopoulos said he believes in giving back to the community. “We’re always participating, always donating gift certificates,” he said. Broken Yolk serves breakfast and lunch and are open 7 days a week, including all holidays, from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information visit www.thebrokenyolkcafe.com or call the Pacific Beach location at (858) 270-9655.

Pickleball offers social, competitive atmosphere Popularity of sport grows in San Diego BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer It's not as fast as tennis and not as slow as badminton. That’s two reasons why pickleball is becoming so popular, especially with seniors. Here in San Diego County, the sport is rapidly growing as well and the proof can be found at several country recreation facilities, including the Nobel Park and Recreation Center in University City. It's a sport that just started being played there in 2008, and starting this month, is now being played three times per week by as many as 20 players per day. "We started out one day a week and now we're at three," said Carol Wright, the center's director, which is located off Judicial Drive. "I probably could offer it five (days a week)." For the women who were playing Monday afternoon, the game is a great fit for them socially and athletically. It offers much of the same elements of tennis, a game many of them had been playing for most of their adult lives. "It is like tennis but you serve underhand and some of the rules are a little bit different," said Kathleen Forgione, who has been playing Pickleball since last July. One of the biggest differences in the game compared to tennis is the ball. Unlike the fuzzy yellow ball that tennis uses, the Pickleball is much like a Whiffle ball, but is more ridged and has smaller holes. As for the paddle, it is similar to a ping pong paddle. "It's growing leaps and bounds in this area," said Lynn Wise, who started playing
About Pickleball Pickleball is a racquet sport which combines elements of badminton,tennis and table tennis.The sport is played on a court with the same dimensions as a doubles badminton court.The net is lower than most other racquet sports allowing for faster play.The game is played with a hard paddle and a Wiffle ball,making the technique required for pickleball different than other sports. — Wikipedia about a year ago. "I was a P.E. teacher so I have played everything. I got to a point — I have had two knees replaced — I couldn't do tennis and things like that and this lets me get out and play. And it's not hard on my knees and it's not hard on my body. It's just fun." Along with the three days a week in UTC, the game is played at many facilities around the county at indoor and outdoor facilities, including at Mission Valley (YMCA), Oceanside (Melba Bishop Recreation Center) and Carmel Mountain (Sabre Springs Rec Center). One of the reasons the game is so popular is that it can be played by kids, active adults, and yes, the most popular age group, seniors. "It's a good inter-generational game" Wright said. "The grandparents can come in and play the game. It's not so aggressive that you could play with a child." For now, the games at Nobel are just pickup games, but the idea of starting tournament play could be a possibility as the sport continues to grow. If you’re intersted in playing, getting started is simple. “Just come by and grab a paddle,” Wright said.

Bumper To Bumper Q. Harold: I have a problem. My son accidentally put about two gallons of diesel fuel in my truck that is supposed to burn gasoline. Then, like a knucklehead he drove it home and then told me what he did. Dave Stall The good news I guess is he topped off the truck with gas. My question is, did he do any damage to my truck? Should I drain the tank and refill it with gas? By the way, my fuel tank holds 26 gallons of gas. Why is it that gas stations don’t have their diesel tanks separate from the gas pumps? I’m sure he is not the only person who has done this. I will admit the truck runs fine — no smoke, but I have kept it parked for the time being, until I hear from you. A. Dave: (For all you readers, Harold gave me his phone number and this is what I told him). You are in luck, Harold. Two gallons of diesel in 26 gallons of gas will not do any damage — so your son is off the hook. I would put a gas cleaner into the tank just for precaution. No, he is not the first person who has done this and the reason the tanks are not separated is cost. It is cheaper to put the diesel hose in the same box as the gas. They feel if they change the nozzle to green and make the nozzle smaller in diameter than a gas nozzle, then that is enough. My solution would be to make the diesel nozzle bigger than the gas nozzle so it wouldn’t fit in your vehicle if you tried — but I guess that is too simple! Q. Jerry: My son was trying to be helpful the other day and decided to check the engine oil level on his mom’s car, found it to be about a quart low and decided to add the needed oil.
by Dave Stall
Unfortunately he missed the filler hole and spilled most of the oil all over the engine. Now when the engine warms up, it smokes really bad. He cleaned up the mess as best he could, but I guess the oil is in all the nooks and crannies you would find in an engine. He wanted to spray it down with the garden hose and I said no, it is illegal to wash down a dirty motor in your driveway, correct? What would you recommend on how to correct this mess? A. Dave: You must give your son an “A” for effort. And yes, you could be fined if a neighbor saw you washing down an oily engine in the driveway. They could turn you in. The best way to clean up the mess is either to have the engine professionally steam cleaned (which I recommend), or take it to a car wash that has a separator and use a product called Gunk. Follow the directions and you should find it a simple task. If you do not follow the directions, you will need a tow truck to take your vehicle to an expert. There are a lot of electrical components that when soaked with water, may not allow the vehicle to start and could possibly damage the ignition system. Q. Dan: My son has a 1999 Ford Ranger that has been using synthetic oil from day one by the original owner. Is there any problem with switching to regular oil? A $20 oil change is more affordable for a college student than a $60 one. Please let us know if we can change and start using regular oil. Thanks. A. Dave: There is no problem going back to regular motor oil. In fact, the 1999 Ford Ranger didn’t recommend synthetic motor oil from the Ford factory. You don’t have to flush the engine either. Just get the engine up to normal running temperature and then drain it as you would normally. Change the oil filter and use the oil and filter recommended by the Ford factory and you should be good to go!

Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys off to fast start BY PHIL DAILEY Staff writer The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys soccer team is picking up right where it left off last season. The Knights are off to a perfect 60 start as of Monday, Jan. 10, but there are many tough tests on the horizon, including a showdown with Francis Parker on Friday. On the season, the Knights have outscored their opponents 16-1, including a 9-0 lashing against Army and Navy Academy last week. The success this season is a bit of surprise for coach Malcolm Tovey, who had several players graduate from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division IV CIF championship squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very young team compared to last year,â&#x20AC;? Tovey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have done well defensively. I am pleased with the progress so far.â&#x20AC;? Leading the way this season has been senior captains Tyler Evens and Brent Thomas as well as Matt Harris (sophomore), Charlie De La Lama (freshman), Harrison Flagg (sophomore) and Adam Malkiewicz (senior). Despite the fast start to the season, Tovey is weary since the meat of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule is about to get under way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are trying to do right
now is develop a team to where we are peaking when we reach the CIF playoffs,â&#x20AC;? Tovey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we do is focus on the next game that we have, bearing in mind the things we have to accomplish.â&#x20AC;? The team will play at Francis Parker on Friday, followed by their next home game on Jan. 21 against Horizon Christian. Here are the the scores from last week:

In his role for the league he will oversee all soccer programs and manage all coaching staff. LJYSL also added Kristen Jones as the director of girl's soccer. Both are former players at UC San Diego. "We are very fortunate to have such a top-notch soccer professional in our community. LJYSL will benefit greatly from Brian's leadership of
both the Recreational Program as well as the Competitive Program," said Fred Borrelli, league president. Beginning with an extensive background as a professional player, Brian has been nationally recognized for his coaching of UCSD's successful women's program. “I am excited to mix my college players into LJYSL's programs with clinics, camps, and other fun ways to get everyone involved in the most played sport in the world," McManus said.
Jones played at La Jolla High School and was a two time all-American while at UCSD. She is also the girls varsity coach for La Jolla High School. "Girls operate differently than boys, and the league needs to recognize that and offer programs to develop players at all skill levels. "Hiring and managing coaches is critical and working with team managers to provide leadership and guidance will be high on my list of priorities," Jones said.

Mitchelle Greenlee draws inspiration from working with optimistic youths
Gershwin-inspired cabaret show to premiere at Garfield Theater
Mitchelle Y. Greenlee lives and works with college freshmen as the Assistant Resident Dean of Thurgood Marshall College at UCSD. She is also the La Jolla Girl Scout Service Unit Secretary (coordinating the 150 Scouts who marched Mitchelle in the 2010 La Jolla Greenlee Christmas Parade), Torrey Pines Elementary School Pizza Coordinator, a member of Torrey Pines Christian Church, a wife, mother to Isabella, a fourth-grader at Torrey Pines Elementary School and leader of Junior Girl Scout Troop 3631. Mitchelle jokes that she can turn anything into an Excel spreadsheet. Mitchelle was born March 16, 1972 in Des Moines, Iowa and graduated with a B.A. in Mass Communications from St. Ambrose University, Davenport in 1994. She married Brian Greenlee in 1996. Her thoughts going into 2011? “I’m on Facebook way more than I should be!”
Members of San Diego Dance Theater interpret composer George Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue.’ BY LEIGH ANN DEWEY Contributor he world premiere of “By George/By Jean,” the biggest show ever staged by San Diego Dance Theater, will be held Friday through Sunday at the Garfield Theater, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. Show times are 8 p.m. Jan. 14 and 15, and 6 p.m. Jan. 16. Doors will open one hour before performances. A buffet and cash bar will be offered, and a dinner show package is available. Part of the San Diego Dance Theater’s annual Cabaret Dances series, “By George/By Jean” is a nostalgic evening of music, song and dance inspired by composer George Gershwin. The show will feature 12 Gershwin songs adapted by local musician and composer Steve Baker. Original choreography is by Artistic Director Jean Isaacs, who taught dance for 25 years at UCSD.

What brought you to La Jolla? In 1992, while studying at St. Ambrose University, I heard about Thurgood Marshall College and UCSD as it was compared to the Oxford system. It fascinated me to learn of a university that could create great scholars while also developing students who would learn to be great citizens. So when I got married, my husband and I spent some of our honeymoon in Disneyland and the other part in La Jolla. After exploring UCSD, shopping on Girard, exploring the caves and taking pictures of seals, we knew some day we would move to this wonderful jewel. In 2000 our daughter was born here and La Jolla became our home. What makes this area special to you? In just over 5,000 acres there is a top-notch university, breathtaking coast, endless history, and a rich community filled with giving people. We know how to come together for things like the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival that supports our schools, and the La Jolla Christmas Parade that showcases the people who make our Village great.

He’ll be home for Christmas (or else)! Olof and I are almost frighteningly compatible with the exception of one issue:Work crises that compromise major family occasions. So I had a familiar sinking feeling when he reported last month that his business trip to Saudi Arabia had been extended a week to Dec. 23. But not to worry, he said, we’d still leave the next morning for Christmas Eve with the kids in L.A. as planned. Olof does not have good airline karma. In fact, the airline gods lose no opportunity to poop on his head. It took him three weather-snafued days to even get there, which is why I suggested he say, “In deference to my adoring and endlessly supportive wife, I must regretfully insist on leaving The Kingdom by Dec. 21 so as to guarantee my arrival and appear at least marginally conscious on Christmas Eve.” “No can do,” said the ever-dedicated Olof. Business is business. But blowing Christmas — the wife’s favorite holiday — crosses a line. I tried to express this as best I could.
Let Inga tell you ...
Social Life UPCOMING EVENTS
“Not to put too fine a point on it,” I said, “but if you don’t make it back, by the time your wife lets you come home from the La Jolla Marriott, you’ll be a Platinum member.” Olof maintains that I have no understanding of the realities of the business world, having spent my career in what he maintains is a university welfare environment where firing an employee for gross incompetence would be considered “mean.” Be that as it may, I couldn’t help but recall the vacation that was cut short by the crisis in Montgomery or the son’s college graduation that was bollixed by the crisis in Dallas. But even more, I was recollecting Olof’s rolling in from Stockholm on Dec. 23 a few years ago and our leaving the next morning for the Bay area.Olof slept entirely through Christmas Eve at his mother’s and through Christmas Day and dinner at our son’s in Santa Cruz. The only time anyone saw him was when I woke him up to go to the airport.“Olof,” I said to him at the time, “we are NEVER doing this again. But here we were, doing it again. A week before Christmas, I learned that almost everyone else on the Saudi project was leaving by Dec. 22. Hence, the weekend was spent sticking pins into little effigies of Olof, the CEO, the CFO, the customer, and the travel agent who would book a four-flight

three-connection itinerary on Dec. 23 through two major winter weather stops including an hour-and-20-minute connection to clear customs and change terminals in Chicago. I admit it was a little unfair to be sticking pointy penetrables into the CEO and CFO who are great guys and travel a ton. But they rated their own effigies by virtue of the fact that their families, unlike me, could reasonably expect a sentient human on Christmas Eve. “Olof,” I said during our Skype chat that night, “What will you remember at the end of your life: all the company crises or time spent with family?” I have no idea what he replied because the bandwidth was so perennially bad that I was never sure I wasn’t having Skarnal relations with some guy in Dhahran. The short connection through Chicago was able to be changed to a longer one and a direct flight to San Diego instead of the idiotic layover in L.A. But as Christmas approached, the Riyadh to Frankfurt flight, originating in Qatar, was routinely running late.Worse, the Frankfurt Airport was shut down. But I was going to be in L.A. watching my tiny granddaughter open her presents whether my likely-to-be-ex husband made it or not.

drive on freeways anymore and the train was out with all the gifts. And even if Olof miraculously washed ashore on the 23rd, he would be on an 11-hour time difference, would have logged a grueling month without a day off, and would be working a final 20-hour sprint before embarking on some 30 hours of travel. Did I really want to be chauffeured by someone with the alertness of a root vegetable? At the last minute, I booked a town car for the trip to L.A. — $300 (huge holiday surcharge). Against all odds – and it was – Olof did arrive on the night of Dec. 23.He kissed me hello and fell face down on the bed where he slept for 13 hours straight. The next morning, the town car took me and the decerebrate Olof to L.A. where we had a nice lunch with the kids and he then napped until 5 p.m. But he did manage a very respectable four hours on Christmas Eve and even valiantly hung in there until 6 p.m. on Christmas Day before crashing for another 12-hour snooze. “See?” he said brightly when he next surfaced on the 26th. “I told you this would all work out.” Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in the La Jolla Light.

It’s true! Caesar Salad tops the list of fountain of youth foods Kitchen Shrink Catharine L. Kaufman
The new year brings us all another birthday and that means we’re all getting a year older, darlings. But that doesn’t mean we have to look older. Remember the portrait of Dorian Gray? Here’s my A (for anti-aging) List for foods that will erase years from your appearance and physique — my birthday present to you!
Nature’s Collagen The tropical guava is a Vitamin C powerhouse, having four times the amount as oranges. Like a collagen factory, guava helps build and plump up cells for a glowing, more youthful complexion. Try a guava smoothie; guava salsa with jicama, fresh lemon juice and cilantro served with grilled fish or topping for a seafood cocktail; or eat it straight up for your daily dose of anti-aging. Brazilian Bombshell Two Brazilian nuts a day will keep the plastic surgeon away. This hard-shelled nut loaded with the trace mineral selenium is responsible for replenishing damaged cells ravaged by free radicals.

FROM QUESTIONS, B1 Yet we also have fun at the YMCA, the La Jolla Library, the Museum of Contemporary Art, or just playing with the toys in Geppetto’s. From Windansea Beach to Mount Soledad to the great Torrey Pines and everything in between, lots of peace, love and community make La Jolla special. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might youadd, subtract or improve in the area? I would add a Star Trek-type way for everyone to beam themselves everywhere they want to go. This would decrease the pollution caused by the North Torrey Pines Road traffic. I would keep the streets themselves, however, so we could all still enjoy looking at the wide variety of cars the cool people of La Jolla move around in. Who or what inspires you? Working at UCSD and with Girl Scouts I see youth in its most beautiful stages of growth and development, creating leaders at critical times in life. I am surrounded by inspiration every day. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased)would you invite? I would ask Jesus Christ for prayer and answers, Thurgood Marshall for inspiration, Walt Disney for joy, Bill Cosby for fun, Fred Astaire for an after-dinner dance, and my great-grandmother Isabel Jimenez Chavez to get to know her. And, of course, I would invite my husband and my 10-year-old daughter to share the experience with me.
This year, 2011, marks the 200th birthday of composer and virtuoso pianist Franz Liszt. True. Liszt (Oct. 22, 1811-July 31, 1886) was a major figure in 19th-century music. The only child of Adam and Anna Liszt, Franz was born in Raiding, Hungary. He showed promise early, beginning lessons before he was 6; by age 7 he was writing music; at 10, he made his concert debut before the cream of Austrian society. It may be held his copious solo piano output is the most crucial part of his legacy, including the B minor Piano Sonata, his “Années de Pèlerinage” and the etudes. But his orchestral tone poems (the so-called programme music) are in a real sense his most permanent imaginative achievement. —classical.net Tell us about what you are reading. Though I enjoy PaperClip’s Student Affairs Newswire, Kim Edwards and Nora Roberts, I am currently dissecting the training manual for coordinating the 2011 Girl Scout Cookie Program in La Jolla and Pacific Beach. Cookie sales begin Jan. 30. What is your most-prized possession? Since I would not consider my daughter a possession, I would have to say a painting my great-grandfather made of a park in downtown Managua, Nicaragua before war and the 1972 earthquake destroyed it. What do you do for fun? In La Jolla? Surf of course! And eat at Jeff’s Burgers. Describe your greatest accomplishment. My greatest accomplishment is not complete. I have spent my entire life finding small ways to change the world generally through others. I’ve worked in higher education for 18 years helping create tomorrow’s leaders. I work with the La Jolla Service Unit of Girl Scouts influencing the leadership development of young ladies. I pride myself on teaching my daughter about ethics and leaving things better than you find them. What is your motto of life? Think positive, be positive, think positive. If you spend your time thinking positively it will help you to reflect a positive attitude in all you do and with everyone you meet. In turn, this will help others to think positively as well. And it just spreads from there.

LJ Historical Society to host photo workshop for students BY EMILY DERUY Contributor Young shutterbugs looking to become more confident behind the lens of a camera will have a chance to hone their photography skills during a free one-day workshop at historic Wisteria Cottage on Jan. 29. Sponsored by the La Jolla Historical Society in connection with Outside the Lens, the workshop will give students in grades K-12 the opportunity to learn basic camera skills, as well as how to capture the perfect picture. Outside the Lens is a San Diego-based youth media literacy program that helps children around the world tell their unique stories through photography, writing and other digital media forms. With guidance from professional writers, photographers, filmmakers and artists, the non-profit encourages children to engage with a variety of issues, particularly those impacting the environment and conservation efforts. Leon Chow, owner of Nelson Photo Supplies, said he was excited to learn about the workshop and offered to supply students with cameras for the day. Rachel Lebowitz, youth council
If you go ■ What: Student photo workshop ■ When: 10:30 a.m.to noon, Saturday,Jan.29 ■ Where: Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St.,La Jolla ■ Cost: Free, limited seating ■ Registeror submit photo : Kristina Gibbons (858) 459-5335,ext.1 or kgibbons@lajollahistory.org supervisor at Outside the Lens, will instruct workshop attendees on photography techniques, covering everything from how to choose a subject to framing shots.
The Historical Society is also sponsoring a Student Photography Contest and the workshop will give attendees guidance on how to snap a winning picture. Lebowitz will lead the children on a scavenger hunt designed to inspire the young artists to photograph different aspects of their village. Regardless of whether or not they attend the workshop, La Jolla-area students are invited to submit photographs to the Historical Society featuring everything from architecture to nature and people before March 31. The pictures will be judged by professional photographers and displayed, along with historical images of La Jolla, by the Historical Society. One winner will be selected from each grade level and awarded a prize. The Historical Society is offering the workshop in an attempt to reach out to youth and engage them in learning about the village’s vibrant past, said office manager Kristina Gibbons, who is spearheading the day. “We really want to let the younger generation know that we are here,” said Gibbons. “We want to educate them about La Jolla’s history.”

‘2 Pianos 4 Hands’ mixes humor/classical music at North Coast Rep BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor “2 Pianos 4 Hands,” the musical comedy opening Jan. 15 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, has been hailed by critics and audiences alike since its inception in 1996 by Canadians Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt. The story of their lives – two musical prodigies with similar upbringings who meet during their showbiz careers – became fodder for the play they wrote and starred in for many years. Playing Ted and Richard at NCRT are Mark Anders as Ted and Carl Danielsen as Richard, directed by Bruce Sevy, associate artistic director of the Denver Center Theatre Company.

Casting the show with actors who are also skilled concert pianists is difficult said Sevy. “I really felt lucky coming up with Mark and Carl,” he said. “I found Carl through a casting agent in New York and Mark in Seattle. I knew
him as an actor and a piano player, but I didn’t know how well he really played. The three of us have an incredible 10-year history together. They are both amazing performers.” For anyone who’s been to the intimately delicious North Coast Repertory Theatre (located in the Ross

Sevy said he’s been in all kinds of theaters and made it work. “We began communicating with the design team by e-mail so I’ve known the logistics of the NCRT stage for some time. The environment for the audience will be like attending a concert,” he said. Lighting plays a key role in the show, signaling the scene changes. The actors,
wearing tuxes throughout, fill the evening with impersonations, playing themselves as children, teachers and parent figures. In between, they dazzle with their piano skills. “They start out with pieces written for kids — rudimentary and simple — but then they move into playing extraordinary pieces by Chopin, Schubert and Beethoven, as well as contemporary selections. Changing quickly from playing classical works to acting takes an incredible versatility,” Sevy pointed out. What surprises him after

Meet the women behind Moxie Theatre’s ‘Toughest Girl Alive’ BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor If you’re a theater-lover, there’s a small mall near San Diego State University that’s definitely worth the trip. For the past year, it’s been home to Moxie, a 132-seat nonprofit theater that consistently presents some of the hottest shows around. The secret to its success is a quartet of gifted women who founded the theater six years ago: Artistic Director Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, Managing Director Jo Anne Glover, Associate Artistic Director Jennifer Eve Thorn and Liv Kellgren. The plays they present are edgy ones, often written by female playwrights, with wild and wonderful roles for female performers. This doesn’t mean men are excluded from Moxie. Helpful husbands and kidfriendly meetings are part of the lifestyle. In fact, Moxie is like one big, close, collaborative family — the kind you really wish you had. “You don’t have to choose between being an artist and being a parent,”
Local Blues diva Candye Kane stars in ‘Toughest Girl Alive’. LONNIE HEWITT
Moxie’s founders kid for the camera; meet Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, Jennifer Eve Thorn, Jo Anne Glover and Liv Kellgren. In 2009, before finding a home on El Cajon Boulevard, Moxie was Resident Theater Company at La Jolla Playhouse. JACK YONN
said Sonnenberg, a mother of two whose husband is a scenic designer and whose 8-year-old daughter, Zoe, made her stage debut in “Eurydice” in 2010 — directed by mom. “Someone in the company will always step forward so we all get to do what we love,” Thorn said. (Her two kids, ages 1 and 3, are used to taking meetings.) “People leave here at night and hug us and help take the trash out.” Glover agreed. “We have a
pretty strong community,” she said. “We help each other out so everyone can perform.” Glover first met Sonnenberg when both were students at the University of Texas in Austin. They shared an apartment in New York when both were starting out in theater. The original quartet of founders is now a trio, since Kellgren moved on to become a Feng Shui consultant, but the Moxie power is stronger than ever. Of course.

They’ve got Moxie, a name meaning “courage, energy, determination and spirit.” It was Glover who came up with the name, which Thorn said acts as a compass for them all. “It helps us when we’re tired or scared or wondering what we should do.” Sonnenberg chimed in, “It helps when you’re looking at a play like Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’ — our most recent production, which has 21 roles — and wondering how a theater with our little budget can manage to do it. You can’t call yourself Moxie if you’re too afraid.” They make decisions by asking: What’s Moxie-licious about this? Is it strong and
daring and ambitious enough for us? Their name keeps them on track. And they’ve got a slew of awards to show for it. They’ve also got Moxie to share. So they collaborate happily, and often. “We love working with other companies and giving new people a start, letting them try out new things here,” Thorn said. “Moving the art of theater forward as a whole is important to us.” Sonnenberg added, “Mentoring is really important to us, the idea of being supportive of other artists — we love that.” And Glover summed up, “Theater’s a collaborative venture. We want all artists to feel valued here.” This month, Moxie is trying something new by presenting its first musical show, “Toughest Girl Alive.” The autobiography of local blues diva Candye Kane, it’s the 99.9 percent true story of a former gang member, teen mom and plus-sized adult-movie star who became a cancer-surviving, award-winning, singer/songwriter phenomenon. “I’m in love with Candye as an artist,” said Sonnenberg. “She’s an extraordinary woman, such a positive, generous spirit, and so talented. We’re really excited

Perils of romance come to the stage in new musical ‘Emma’
‘Jane Austen’s Emma: A Musical Romantic Comedy’ comes to the Old Globe through Feb. 27. COURTESY year in the La Jolla Playhouse production of “Bonnie & Clyde,” were some of the reasons Calhoun felt this play was right for him to direct. “The beautiful score was a big enticement, but it was also a chance to do something different,” Calhoun said. “I’ve never done a show like this, especially
something Jane Austenbased, but it’s been fun to dive into a new world.” Calhoun said he had no problem deciding who would play Emma Woodhouse in the production. He worked with Patti Murin (“Xanadu,” “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast,” “Hairspray”) on “High School Musical”

Emma Woodhouse (Patti Murin) and Mr. Knightley (Adam Monley) lead the cast of ‘Emma.’ JOAN MARCUS and admired her work. “She’s taking on the biggest and most challenging role she’s had so far and to match this material with talent like hers is very exciting.” Other cast members include Adam Monley (“The Phantom of the Opera”) as Mr. Knightley; Amanda Naughton (Globe’s “Lost in
Yonkers,” “The Constant Wife”) as Mrs. Weston; Don Noble (“Mamma Mia!”) as Mr. Weston; Frank Churchill as Will Reynolds, Kelly Hutchinson as Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Elton, Suzanne Grodner as Miss Bates, Jane Fairfax as Allison Spratt Pearce, Adam Daveline as Robert Martin and Brian Herndon as Mr. Elton. The team includes music supervisor Brad Haak, scenic designer Tobin Ost, costume designer Denitsa Bliznakova, lighting by Michael Gilliam, music director Laura Bergquist, and voice and dialect coach Robert Barry Fleming. Calhoun said he hopes the play will attract the women and Austenites who love the story, but also their husbands and boyfriends so they, too, will understand and enjoy it. “Overall it’s still about human relationships. Austen is a master at recreating herself, and at the same time, in destroying everyone’s lives and then people have to put them back together. Jane Austen was ahead of her time, and we’re still enjoying her work.”

BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor While British author Jane Austen’s many fans have enjoyed her romance novels since the 1800s, even she would probably find it hard to believe her stories are still relevant and being adapted as musicals for the stage. “Jane Austen’s Emma: A Musical Romantic Comedy” comes to the Old Globe Theatre Jan. 15-Feb. 27. “Emma” is a timeless and charming love story about a matchmaker whose lack of romantic experience eventually makes her unsuitable to handle the situations that arise. Tony Award-nominated composer Paul Gordon (“Jane Eyre,” “Daddy Long Legs”) created the book, lyrics and music for this adaptation. Said director and Tony Award-nominee Jeff Calhoun of the production, “Paul has a gift for creating just the right music for his shows and he captures the feel of the era of “Emma” without making it feel old-fashioned.” Gordon’s musical score and the fact that he and Calhoun worked together last

Arts patron Todd Figi dies awaiting lung transplant BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer John Todd Figi of La Jolla, passed away on Jan. 9 at the UCSD Medical Center as he awaited a lung transplant. He was 66. Subsequently, Figi himself became an organ donor. He had served as chairman of the board of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Todd Figi and was respected for his collection of Latin American art and for his success as a businessman. Friends said his brother, Hans of Guilford, England, captured the arts patron’s persona in the obituary he wrote: “For all his success and notoriety, he was ultimately respected for being a “regular guy” who could just as happily share a beer with the gardener as be the host of a blacktie party in a foreign capital. When he spoke to you he made you feel
like you were the most important person in the world.” Featured in the Light’s 10 Questions column in 2008, Figi wrote that he was inspired by “creativity, hard work and those who practice both.” In answer to the question, “What is your greatest accomplishment,” he said, “Since I have never had children, my greatest accomplishment, I believe, was starting as a hippie with an idea and building it into one of the largest, most creative and respected gift companies in the country.” That company, Figi Graphics, had its roots in Wisconsin, where he was born and raised. He started a business called The Butcher, The Baker, making candles and following in his parents’ footsteps as entrepreneurs. They had started Figi’s Gifts in Good Taste in the kitchen of their one-bedroom apartment. Their pioneering company ultimately became a leader in the mailorder gift-food business. He merged it with another com-
pany in 1973. After a business trip to Southern California in February 1974, winter coat and hat in hand, Figi relocated his company to J Street in San Diego within three weeks. The company sold everything from photo frames and wall décor to refrigerator magnet to gift stores across the U.S. and around the world. He sold the company in 1998. In addition to his involvement with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Figi served as president of the San Diego Chapter of YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) and was active in many local and national charities, usually anonymously. Among them were the Old Globe Theater and the Monarch School. He also served as chairman of the California Gift Association and received the Award of Distinction from Gift for Life for his support of AIDS education and research. Kit Sickels, who knew Figi from traveling the world together and from business dealings, said when
his friend “set his mind to something, he always accomplished it.” Figi, he added, was an extremely honorable man and a very successful businessman. Sickels said as his friends and former employees kept watch over him via the website www.caringbridge.org as Figi’s health declined the past few weeks, it was apparent by their comments how much of an impact he had on them. In February 2010, Mayor Jerry Sanders appointed Figi to the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture. Hugh Davies, MCASD director, said Figi, who became chairman when the recession began, was “enormously important” to the museum which had just opened three new buildings. “His finest hour,” Davies said, was taking on the challenge of the annual auction that had previously raised $350,000 to $400,000. Through his hard work, the event that year raised more than $1 million.
Figi’s greatest passion was collecting Latin American art. He especially appreciated and collected works by Roberto Matta, Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera and other Latin American artists of note. He is survived by his wife, Norma Jean “Jake” Figi of La Jolla; sister Sara Finkle of Aspen, Colo; and brothers Hans Figi (Sharon) of Guildford, England, and Eric Figi (Alison), also of La Jolla; nieces Anna Patterson (Chris) of Bozeman, Mont.; Kate and Erin Figi of La Jolla, and nephews: F. Scott Thomson of Park City, Utah, and John Todd “Jake” Figi and Lucas Figi of Guildford, England. He was preceded in death by his beloved black Labrador retriever, “Nick.” A celebration of his life will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Sherwood Auditorium at the Contemporary Museum of Art in La Jolla. In lieu of flowers donations in Figi’s name are requested for either Lab Rescue or Lifesharing, a lifesaving and life enhancing effort of transplantation.

OBITUARIES
Beverly Moore Quady May 2, 1923 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dec. 24, 2010 Beverly Moore Quady, 87, of La Jolla, a resident of the San Diego area for more than 30 years, passed away Dec. 24, 2010. She was the loving mother of Lee Higgins of Oahu, Hawaii, and Clarinda Higgins (William Armstrong) of Westport, Connecticut, and stepmother of Andrew K. (Laurel) Quady of Madera, California. The daughter of the late Robert W. Moore Jr. and Josephine Appel Moore, she was born in Boston on May 2, 1923, raised in Newton, Mass., attended Beaver Country Day School and mastered the cello, which led to a music scholarship to Vassar College. In 1943, she married Bradley C. Higgins of Worcester, Mass., with whom she had three daughters. She was a lifelong scholar, a patron of the arts, painter, community theatre actress, activist volunteer, and adventurer. She worked as a nurseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aide in World War II, earned a private pilot license, and once climbed the Jungfrau (13,638 feet) in the Swiss Alps. In 1968, she married John C. Quady, an aeronautical engineer. His career led them to Pasadena and Pomona before the couple settled in La Jolla. They joined St. James-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, where Beverlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devotions and her commanding bass voice led to her being licensed as a lay reader; she became the ďŹ rst president of the congregationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saints and Sinners Club. She was active in the Social Service League of La Jolla and the Junior League of San Diego. In later years at Casa de Manana she was an energetic presence, serving most recently as head of the Welcoming Committee. She made every person feel accepted and special, often delivering homemade mufďŹ ns to newcomers, staff or friends in need. A generous, gracious and loving person who cared more for others than herself, she touched the lives of many people and sought to make the
world a better place. Curious, engaging, articulate and wellread, she was as lively a table guest as she was a hostess, and always seemed to be at the center of a vibrant, intelligent conversation. She excelled in her painting classes, happy to share her impressionistic creations, and made a memorable sight in her bright pantsuits and colorful ďŹ&#x201A;oral blouses. Privately, she laughed and boasted about her bridge and poker hands. She was preceded in death by John Quady, her husband of 37 years, in 2004; her daughter, Johanna â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jodyâ&#x20AC;? Higgins Reber in 1983; step-daughter, Melissa Sue â&#x20AC;&#x153;Missyâ&#x20AC;? Leszynski in 2005; and her brothers, Robert Moore and Frederick Moore. Survivors include grandchildren, Emily Lutringer and Eric Lutringer, John (Iwona) Pratt, Guy (Jennifer) Pratt, Kimberly Pratt (David Crouch); stepgrandchildren, Herbert (Meloney) Quady, Allison Quady, Jeffrey (Midori) Foster, David (Alesia) Foster, Nicole (James) Johnson and Matthew Leszynski; eight great-grandchildren; as well as several nieces and nephews. Through the years, Beverly treasured immensely the visits and phone calls from her children, step-children and the grandchildren. A memorial service will take place at St. James-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, at 1 pm, with a reception following. A Celebration of the Life of Beverly Quady will take place at Casa de Manana on Sunday, Feb. 6, at 11 am. Interment will be in May at Newton Cemetery in Newton, Mass. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, the family requests that donations be made in Beverlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to St. James-by-the-Sea Memorial Fund, 743 Prospect St., La Jolla, CA 92037, or to The Joslin Diabetes Center, Memorial Donations, 1 Joslin Place, Boston, MA 02215.
