By Pat Sherman hroughout La Jolla Village fresh faces are replacing formerly vacant commercial spaces, including the addition of several new eateries and an Italian Market.

Phil Wise, senior vice-president at Colliers International real estate, said a recent decrease in “For Lease” signs in storefront windows shows the commercial real estate market in La Jolla is improving.

Colliers recently completed a survey of 163 commercial properties in the Village, comprising 1,331,947 square feet of retail space. The survey showed that the total amount of vacancies was less than 70,000 square feet, or 5.24 percent.

When subtracting the vacant, three-story former site of Jack’s La Jolla, which closed in 2009 due to nonpayment of state taxes, the vacancy rate drops to just 3.34 percent, he said.

When Wise conducted the first such quarterly survey for Colliers on April 1, 2011, the vacancy rate was 7.18 percent, or 98,963 square feet.

“In a three-month period, this is amazing,” Wise said.

“This should be front page, national news.”

Wise concedes that there is some margin of error.

Merchants may enter and exit the Village at whim, as evidenced by the closure this month of a Bruegger’s bagel shop at the corner of Pearl Street and Fay Avenue.

However, Wise said the recent “positive absorption” or influx of new commercial business in the Village follows a period from 2008 to 2010 that saw a steady attrition of commercial businesses in downtown La Jolla.

“What that means is that rents are going to start going up again,” Wise said.

Merchants Association pins plans on three Village events

By Dave Schwab Three special events — Concours D’Elegance (March 31-April 1), San Diego Film Festival (Sept. 28-Oct. 2) and La Jolla Art and Wine Festival (Oct. 6-7) — won unanimous backing from the La Jolla Village Merchants Association at its Jan. 11 meeting.

LJVMA hopes the event trio will become the promotion cornerstone of its $350,000 annual budget.

“This budget, which starts July 1, we have to submit to the city by Feb. 1,” said LJVMA President Phil Coller. He noted that all three events, “have a proven record of success,” prior to the board’s unanimous approval of the 2012-13 bud-

get at the meeting.

“Now we have three events spread throughout the year supporting each other,” said Michael Dorvillier of the Concours D’Elegance, which he promotes for sponsor/presenter La Jolla Historical Society.

“It’s a way to make this more than just a car show. Plans are to expand Concours (formerly the Motor Car Classic, a fundraiser for La Jolla Historical Society begun seven years ago on the lawn at the Cove’s Scripps Park) to be more business- and guest-friendly.

“The car show is the key attraction, but you

Paddle out for Ted Smith draws hundreds to WindanSea

A

paddle out for Theodore Kenneth Smith was held at 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 15 at WindanSea Beach. Smith, 52, considered by many a WindanSea surfing legend, died Saturday afternoon, Dec. 31 from drowning after he had an apparent heart attack while surfing.

His friends bid him a fitting goodbye releasing his ashes into the sea he so loved. Smith had previously worked as a Realtor with Team De Jourday at Coldwell Banker La Jolla, and had been employed with the Hyatt Aventine at the time of his death.

Town Council welcomes new trustees, approves Coast Walk resolution

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Town Council approved the addition of two new trustees, Yolanda de Riquer and Charles Hartford, during its Jan. 12 meeting at the Recreation Center.

De Riquer, a former La Jolla business owner and Realtor who worked for the United Nations in Mexico, hopes to become the council’s bridge with the Hispanic community. She was installed as a trustee during the meeting.

Hartford, a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch in La Jolla, will join the board next month.

The council also welcomed two new members, Janet Armstrong of Prudential California Realty, and La Jolla resident Janet Fraser. The Vons grocery store on Girard Avenue was welcomed as a new business member.

Environmental study sought For Coast Walk parking Following a presentation by La Jolla Parks and Beaches chairman Patrick Ahern, the council voted to approve a resolution asking the city to study potential restoration of parking spaces on a La Jolla Shores bluff that serves as an entrance to Coast Walk.

The scenic walking trail, which begins at the Cave Store downtown and hugs the coast to La Jolla Shores, has been designated by the city as a historic resource. The Shores entrance was once a dirt lot containing six to seven parking spaces. In 1978, the city added a guard rail to further define the parking area and prevent cars from driving off the bluff. With help

from the city, nearby residents paved the lot and added curbs to limit parking, which left only two spaces.

The proposed study would determine whether the bluffs are stable enough to support additional cars, determine whether the land is owned by the city or private residents, and include a traffic analysis looking at police and fire access, and other safety issues.

“It’s basically to ask the city to do an environmental study to help us consider what, if any, changes might be made along Coast Walk,” Ahern said. “Over time people have said, ‘We want our parking back,’ and that’s risen up again recently.”

The council and community members fought unsuccessfully in 1981 and 1992 to restore the lost public parking spaces. The La Jolla Community Planning Association and Friends of Coast Walk have recently written to the city expressing support for the study.

“The residents understand that people will be walking there,” Ahern said. “Their larger concern is the number of cars parking there.

There could be noise issues. There have been other problems in the past.”

Town Council member Sue Geller said that additional spaces should include one designated for handicapped visitors. Elderly residents who come to enjoy the view often have to turn around for lack of parking, she said.

Vote for Independent La Jolla brewing Council treasurer Cindy Greatrex, represent-

Yolanda De Riquer, swears to uphold the tenents of the La Jolla Town Council.

Pat Sherman

ing Independent La Jolla, spoke of bringing its plan to have La Jolla secede from the city of San Diego to a public vote. A subcommittee of Independent La Jolla is being formed to undertake the effort.

In other action: • The Town Council voted to lend its support to the ITU World Triathlon, pending approval by the Traffic and Transportation committee. The event will wind through south La Jolla, May 11-12.

• District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner presented the group with a commendation for “successfully planning and executing the 54th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival.”

• First Vice-president Rob Hildt reported meeting with representatives of La Jolla

Country Club to discuss the locale as a site for the Town Council’s proposed golf tournament. The event could raise as much as $35,000 for the group, he said.

• A possible Town Council night out at Petco Park received much support from those in attendance.

• Rosemary Murrieta, of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, which represents 1,240 merchants within the business improvement district, said her organization is about to launch its website and ad campaign (see related story, A1).

“We’re looking to brand all of La Jolla, not just the merchants’ association,” Murrieta said. “We’ll be promoting all of the nonprofits, all the cultural and arts nonprofits within 92037, free of charge, and billing (La Jolla) as a wedding destination.”

La Jollans will try to save Wall St. Post Office building

By Dave Schwab La Jollans’ reaction to news last week that their main Post Office building at 1140 Wall St. will be moved and the building put up for sale as part of a national plan to reduce costs, was immediate.

Since the Post Office contains a 1939 Works Progress Administration (WPA) mural painted by Belle Baranceanu “California Landscape,” the news was particularly disturbing.

“This comes as quite a shock and surprise: We’re dismayed the Post Office did not reach out to the community,” said Joe LaCava, La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee.

Noting the Village Post Office “has a civic use” and is a “local gathering spot and a hub of activity,” LaCava said losing it would be a huge loss.

“This Post Office is vitally important not only for its contents, but the historical nature of the building as well,” he said.

John Bolthouse, executive director of La Jolla Historical Society, agreed.

“It has not been designated in the National Register of Historic Places, but is in the process,” he said. “The facility definitely is worthy of preservation and we’re going to be monitoring it very closely.”

Bolthouse added the existing Post Office is also historic in that it was remodeled in 1960 by Southern California master architect William Lumpkins.

La Jollans are also concerned about what will become of the Post Office’s Depressionera mural, an Earth-toned view of the Cove in 1935 and 1936, painted by the early modernist Baranceanu (1902-1988).

Diane Kane, formerly of the city’s Historical Resources Division in the Planning Department, who is on La Jolla’s Development Permit Review Committee, said La Jolla’s Wall Street Post Office and historic mural are both deserving of preservation as prime examples of architectural and artistic styles of an era.

“Very early Post Offices were quite large and very grandiose,” said Kane pointing out La Jolla’s Post Office recently marked its 75th anniversary.

“By the time they got to the period of our (La Jolla’s) Post Office, in the middle of the Great Depression, they were small-town structures built on small budgets that have name-brand architects who were federal employees.”

Timeline n Jan. 9, 2012: U.S. Post Office announces the sale of some buildings as part of its budget cuts.

The La Jolla Post Office at 1140 Wall St. is among those to be sold. n Jan. 12, 2012: La Jollans begin discussing strategies to try and save the historic building and its contents. n Spring 2012: USPS said financial analysis will be completed to determine whether it will set a price, or just put the postal building on the open market. n Today: La Jolla postal operations will remain where they are until there is a sale of the property.

When asked about preservation of the mural, Kane said it is possible — though difficult — with modern techniques to preserve and even transfer it.

She suggested it also might be possible to prevent the mural’s being destroyed by a new building owner by putting language in a restrictive covenant that would make preserving the mural a condition of the building’s sale.

Last week the U.S. Postal Service’s San Diego District identified La Jolla’s main Post Office as “a valuable asset whose potential sale would generate much-needed capital for the Postal Service.”

“We’ll be looking for a smaller facility within a mile of the old facility,” said Eva Jackson, USPS spokeswoman, noting the Wall Street Post Office is retail only. She said mail carriers for La Jolla’s 92037 ZIP Code would continue to operate out of a satellite office at 720 Silver St. Jackson said the Wall Street postal facility is “bigger than what (USPS) needs,” noting the property is “pretty valuable.”

“So in our financial state it will help us to sell it and relocate to a smaller facility,” she said. The post office’s ZIP Code, hours of operation, P.O. Boxes, etc. will all remain the same. The only thing that would change would be the location.”

Dave Rouse of USPS said it would take about three months to lay the groundwork for putting the La Jolla Post Office property on the market. He added USPS is not sure whether they will set a price, or just put it on the open market. He added La Jolla postal operations will remain where they are until there is a sale of the property.

From Future, A1 New in La Jolla is a recently opened franchise of Jersey Mike’s Subs, which occupies 1,326 square feet of space at 7836 Herschel Ave. Across the street, exciting renovations are taking place at the future site of Herringbone, the latest fusion eatery from restaurateur Brian Malarkey and nightlife visionary James Brennan.

The $2.5 million venture is scheduled to open April 12 in the long-vacant, roughly 7,500-square-foot space at 7837 Herschel Ave. (between Silverado and Wall Streets).

The project is being developed by Jaime Construction and Jaime Partners in concert with La Jolla-based Marengo Morton Architects.

The building, which will undergo substantial structural retrofits, will house Malarkey and Brennan’s latest marriage of food and nightlife, featuring an ocean bazaar theme. Designer Thomas Schoos, who tackled the exotic décor of Malarkey and Brennan’s existing ventures, Searsucker and Burlap, is onboard for Herringbone.

With the addition of Eddie V’s seafood and steak restaurant, which opened last fall on Prospect Street, Wise said he sees this new “synergy” enticing more business to the Village.

“It gives hope to other non-restaurant users: ‘If they can make it, I can make it,’” Wise said.

Scheduled for an early 2012 opening is Puesto Mexican Street Food, at 1026 Wall St. The brainchild of sibling La Jolla High graduates Alan and Eric Adler, the menu will feature San Diegans beloved street tacos, and include stewed meats called guisados, shrimp, salmon, carne asada, salads and soy chorizo potatoes.

Italian town in the province of Rome that is home to the savory pork roast, Porchetta, the market will offer fresh pastas, cured meats, cheeses, panini sandwiches and soups.

Ariccia co-owner Robert Pascucci said he and partner Stephanie Savchuk chose a business location where they wouldn’t mind spending their busy work days.

“I’ve always had an attraction to La Jolla,” said Pascucci, a native of Boston. “It always had that Mediterranean feel to it.

It always feels like you’re on vacation.”

The site is part of the recently renovated Shepard Trust buildings, which includes a vacancy at 7456 Girard Ave., formerly home to Mauldin home furnishings, which is set to reopen this month at 7755 Fay Ave. Mike Slattery, a commercial real estate broker with Cassidy Turley BRE Commercial, orchestrated the five-year, $348,222 lease of 880 square feet at 1241 Prospect St., set to open in the next few weeks as Krafty Krepes. The mainly take-out eatery will serve an array of custom breakfast, dessert and savory crepes.

Slattery said signs that the commercial market is improving in the Village have been evident for months.

“Business activity is picking up, I think there’s an optimism that the economy is turning the corner a little bit,” Slattery said. “When you see vacancies, it doesn’t mean that they haven’t been leased. It just takes some time for them to open up.”

Wise, who in the 1980s witnessed businesses flee the Village for lower rent spaces in the then burgeoning UTC development, and rode the real estate backlash of the early ’90s savings and loan scandal, said the recent revival is heartening.

“Every tourist comes to La Jolla and walks on Prospect Street, and some of those people stay,” he said. “It’s a very attractive location.”

Crime Report Alan Alvarez, Northern Division’s Community Relations Officer, noted there are several things homeowners can do to guard against their residences being burglarized: • “Lock your doors and windows,” Alvarez advised. “Many of the cases we go through, entry is gained through unlocked doors, windows and garages left open. People need to secure their residences prior to leaving the house. If you have an alarm, use it.”

• Don’t put valuable items in front of windows, in plain sight.

• Make sure residences are well lit and side gates are secured as well.

• Leave a light and radio on during your absence from home.

• Secure sliding doors and windows with a foot bar.

• Get involved with your local Neighborhood Watch program and report any suspicious activity in your neighborhood. If you see people you haven’t seen before who may be casing the neighborhood, report it.

• Keep in communication with your neighbors. If you’re away, share your cell phone number so neighbors can contact you in an emergency, or develop an e-mail tree with

From Merchants, A1 have a no-cost element — a car corral, music vendors, and lots of positive energy bringing people into the Village.”

For the event, Prospect Street will be closed from Jose’s down to the Cove for a free festival area with 50 to 75 cars and vendors.

The partnership with La Jolla Art and Wine Festival came as a result of founder Sherry Ahern telling the LJVMA that the event has outgrown its current site on Upper Girard.

In 2011, she said, the art and wine festival, which is a benefit for La Jolla, Bird Rock and Torrey Pines Elementary Schools, drew 105 artists, 35 wineries and eight microbreweries for the twoday event.

“Festivals like ours will bring people in from all over San Diego County and expose them to the Village, while they stay in the hotels and eat in the restaurants, and it will bring them back again,” she said after the meeting.

Ahern added that this year, a fourth school, Muirlands Middle, will be added to the list of those benefiting from the festival.

“It’s got the potential to be huge, to, at minimum, double the number of participating artists to 200plus,” Ahern said. “There’s also discussion of getting enough sponsorship to eventually make the art and wine festival free, with a

LJVMA is also negotiating to get the San Diego Film Festival to move the event to the Village. Its 10th anniversary was held last year in San Diego’s Gaslamp District.

“At this point, moving SDFF to La Jolla is an idea

on the table ... whether we move from downtown has yet to be determined,” emailed spokeswoman Jennifer Chidester of Limelight Public Relations.

She said film festival founder Robin Laatz is “weighing all the options for 2012 right now.”

SHOWING SOME RESISTANCE! Muscle strength tends to decline as we get older. Seniors may find it increasingly difficult to perform daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and carrying groceries. Progressive resistance training (using free weights, exercise machines, and/or elastic bands to strengthen muscles) can help make life easier. The Occupational Therapy Dept at Indiana University conducted a recent review of 121 trials involving 6,700 people aged 60 and older.They found that training 2-3 times per week significantly increased muscle strength and improved performance of simple everyday tasks.The key component of this muscle-strengthening regimen is adjusting the resistance (or weight) appropriately in accordance with the progress being made. A physical therapist can help keep things on track.

At Ability Rehab we look at each person as a whole. Our expert therapists not only work on increasing your muscle strength, but also evaluate other factors that might be limiting your daily activities. Balance can be an issue as well as joint mobility, muscle flexibility, walking and postural mechanics. You may need professional help in these areas in conjunction with strength training.

P.S. If you or a loved one has had a decline in ability to perform daily tasks, call today for a complete evaluation.

Election 2012: Who is Brian Bilbray?

An interview with the incumbent congressman who’s seeking his seventh term in a new locale Note: The La Jolla Light recently met with 50th District Congressman Brian Bilbray to discuss his bid for another term, this time as representative of San Diego’s newly redrawn 52nd District. Interviews with the other candidates in the race — Republicans John Stahl and Wayne Iverson, and Democrat Lori Saldaña — will follow in coming editions of the Light. An interview with Democrat Scott Peters, which ran in the Jan. 12 edition, can be viewed in its entirety at lajollalight.com.

By Pat Sherman San Diego Congressman Brian Bilbray, a native of Coronado and former tax preparer, served as mayor of Imperial Beach before moving on to spend a decade on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. From 1995 to 2001 the Republican represented San Diego’s 49th congressional district (today the 53rd) before his defeat by Democrat Susan

Davis, then a state Assemblywoman.

After leaving office that year, Bilbray registered as a Washington lobbyist. His clients included the San Diego Regional Airport Authority, Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, SDG&E, and the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a conservative, antiimmigration group.

In 2006 Bilbray joined Congress again, this time in the 50th District, winning in a special election to replace disgraced fellow Republican Duke Cunningham, who is currently serving time in prison for felony conspiracy and tax evasion.

An avid surfer who spent his youth catching waves at La Jolla beaches, Bilbray has five children, one of which, Brian Patrick Bilbray, currently serves on the Imperial Beach City Council. Bilbray’s daughter, Briana, who battled Stage 3 melanoma, recently declared herself an advocate for medical marijuana dispensaries — something her father remains opposed to.

Viewed as the only truly competitive congressional race in the San Diego region, political pundits will be eyeing 52nd District results

closely. In the first of California’s open primary elections on June 5 — during which independents or “Decline to State” voters may cast their ballot for a candidate from any party — the race should be close, as the district is divided nearly evenly between Democrats, Republicans and Decline to State voters.

The La Jolla Light recently spoke with Bilbray via phone. The interview, in its entirety, can be viewed at lajollalight.com.

La Jolla Light: Please discuss any connections you have to La Jolla?

Brian Bilbray: You cannot be a boy growing up in San Diego County, surfing, and not spend some quality time all over La Jolla — from Black’s Beach down to Win-

Brian Bilbray danSea all the way to the Shores. My first surfing contest was actually right there in the Shores. And probably the last one I did was a cancer luau at that same location that I competed at in high school. … It’s a surf contest/cancer research (fundraiser) we do every August, right in front of the Scripps Pier.

When I served on the California Coastal Commission we tackled some major issues

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JANUARY 19, 2012 - Page A9

From Bilbray, A8 like saving historical cottages down there. …

La Jolla’s always been one of those gems that everyone in San Diego County appreciates.

La Jolla Light: How has your time representing the 50th congressional district benefitted your La Jolla constituents?

Brian Bilbray Everything from being the representative in San Diego County for sand replenishment and being the go-to guy on water quality. La Jolla’s not the kind of community you just move in and understand.

There’s a deep cultural background there.

La Jolla Light: What could you do with two more years in Congress that you haven’t accomplished or already had the chance to do?

Brian Bilbray: I have been placed back on the (House) Energy and Commerce Committee. … I come back with congressional seniority, and, more importantly, the handson experience of working with the struggle and the interrelationship between government and business in the process of trying to create economic opportunity while maintaining quality of life. … It’s a cooperative effort. (Democrat) Bob Filner and (Republican) Darrell Issa don’t necessarily work together, but (they’re) somebody that I’ve been able to work together with for years, basically, because we try to build on each other’s strong suits. … You’ve got Republicans, who know they don’t like regulation, but they don’t understand it. And you’ve got Democrats, who are in denial of the impact of inappropriate regulation on the ability of small business to create jobs. It was, like, 1995, when I introduced the bill to eliminate the mandate that you have to use ethanol, because the Democrats in Washing-

ton thought ethanol was good for the environment. Because of my background in the Air Resources Board I knew ethanol was bad in the ’90s. It didn’t take me a decade to learn that. That kind of practical experience of understanding the huge gap between the theory of what is good for the business community and the environment, and the practical application, that huge gap is something that you cannot just learn overnight. The only way you really learn it is by working with it hands on, which is the way I’ve done it over the years.

La Jolla is one of the great powerhouses of biotech and high tech, and that is all administered through my committees. That is why you see me being very involved in FDA (Federal Drug Administration) reform, working on cancer breakthroughs, talking about the FDA and NIH (National Institutes of Health) working together with the private sector to create, not just the jobs that San Diego desperately needs, but the medical breakthroughs that save lives.

Last month I came to the administrative assistant of the FDA and said, ‘Why wasn’t this melanoma scanner — something that could detect cancer when a dermatologist couldn’t — denied a review process?’ The guy had to admit in public session that it was a major mistake. This was a mistake that not only kept a local business from being able to sell its product, but it was a mistake that was denying citizens the ability to protect themselves from a deadly disease. Sometimes they even admit they make mistakes. I think Washington doesn’t do that enough.

La Jolla Light: How do you plan to differentiate yourself as a candidate in the

52nd congressional district, where the vote is split almost evenly between Democrats, Republicans and undeclared voters?

Brian Bilbray: I come from the undeclared background. I used to be an independent voter myself. Frankly, (Former and current Gov.) Jerry Brown drove me over into the Republican ticket. I think the biggest issue is … (that) nobody elects a political party. They elect individuals. People matter, and the backbone and the core of politics should be people. Fifty years from now my grandchildren and great grandchildren won’t give a darn about a Republican or a Democrat, but they will worry about how strong an economy they have or how safe they are and how clean an environment they have. The one thing I got in the habit of doing when I was a county supervisor and mayor was, you learn to vote the issue; you don’t vote the party.

La Jolla Light: Some tout you as a maverick who is tough on immigration and has strong conservative credentials, while others have criticized you as a RINO (Republican In Name Only) who has received low marks from some conservative organizations, such as the Heritage Foundation.

Brian Bilbray: (Laughs.) Some people call me a squishy moderate. I like to think of myself as a radical incrementalist. I believe in America the things that are done right and that last are done in small, incremental steps. We’re not a radical country and I think extremists on both sides injure, not only the nation, but themselves. You’ve got to keep your eyes open and your mind open and I think that too often the extreme left and the extreme right do neither. I think

there are too many people in politics who think that being right is all that matters. … I think we should keep our minds open.

Sometimes the answer to problems comes from a different direction.

La Jolla Light: We’ve seen partisan gridlock in Washington (and in California) for a long time. How would you, if given another two years, help to build consensus?

Brian Bilbray: Like it or not, the voters have created an environment where you need to try to work with people in the other party. So, you try to find those things you may agree on and build a relationship on those things you agree on.

It’s like the immigration issue. Democrats are not going to support a whole lot of things, but for God’s sakes they darn-well should be supporting cracking down on not giving tax deductions to people who are hiring illegals, not rewarding businessmen who are breaking the law by hiring people who are illegal. You know, a lot of Republicans may not be comfortable cracking down on the employers because that’s where they get a lot of their political support. You don’t need to attack the immigrants, you don’t have to be anti-Latino, but you genuinely have to crack down on the real culprit here, and that’s the businessman who is (importing) the cheap labor.

La Jolla Light: What is your view of amnesty programs for illegal immigrants?

Brian Bilbray: My view is that they should come to the border and have to recover bodies the way I have. I’m the only member of congress that has rescued illegals when they’re drowning. … For anybody in

The reality of extreme weather: Part 2

By Lynne Friedmann Note: On Dec. 13, a public forum was held at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) where climate experts discussed California’s vulnerability to extreme weather events. Part 1 of the report on the meeting (printed in the Jan. 12 issue of La Jolla Light and online at lajollalight.com) examined the range of extreme events predicted to impact the state. Part 2 considers: What can be done?

C

atastrophic, extreme weather events — floods, droughts, heat waves, high winds, and associated wildfires – will be more prevalent this century in California as a result of climate change.

“Climate describes a system with a set of possible outcomes,” said Tony Westerling, a UC Merced researcher who received his doctoral degree at SIO. “How we view the outcome depends on how we’ve placed our bets.”

Hedging those bets calls for “adaptation planning,” a combination of proactive measures at the community, state, and federal level to slow the progression of climate change together with reactive measures to mitigate property damage, the risk to life, and the economic effects of an extreme event.

“The important thing is, we aren’t trying to

model just one particular future,” Westerling said. “We are trying to understand a very broad range of possible futures, so that we can see where outcomes are very certain, work on reducing critical uncertainties, and help people make smart choices for the future.”

Proactive measures begin with rigorous scientific research along with which have come technology advances leading to insights into major weather events. Take for example, winter storms fueled by moisture-laden “atmospheric rivers” (ARs), a key source of the rain and snow in the Western states. ARs often deliver the majority of California’s precipitation in intense storms causing flooding in coastal regions and inland mountains having devastating effects on people and property.

“These storms are now better understood,” said Marty Ralph, a climate researcher at NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). “There are prospects for several days’ lead time to know when these events are going to hit California.”

This means that emergency measures already undertaken by government agencies and citizens for earthquake preparedness – laying in emergency food and water, shelter preparations, regional communications networks,

COURTESY

mutual aid agreements – would be useful in preparing for a severe winter storm.

Sea-level rise and associated coastal flooding and erosion will also become more acute in the future. Current responses include “hard” technical solutions (concrete and steel seawalls) as well as “soft” solutions (SANDAG beach-sand replenishment). But are they the best solutions?

There are gaps between adaptation need and action, according to Susanne Moser, a research fellow at Stanford University and consultant, whose work focuses on adaptation to climate change, climate change communication, social change, and the interaction between scientists, policy makers, and the public.

Moser conducted a survey this year of California Coastal Managers and found that 10 percent have not undertaken any climate change adaptation planning, 40 percent understand the need, 41 percent have begun planning, and only nine percent are implementing an adaptation plan.

In ranking factors that motivated coastal managers to develop a plan, surprisingly having experienced a recent extreme event was at the bottom of the list. More motivating were state and federal legislative mandates, undertaking adaptation planning as part of a general plan update, or available funding for the planning process.

Barriers to adaptation planning, as perceived by local coastal professionals in California, include insufficient staff resources to analyze and assess relevant information, current pressing issues are all consuming, no funding to prepare a plan, and lack of public demand to take adaptation action.

Interestingly, “technical issues” and “science is uncertain” are not seen by managers as barriers to planning, according to Moser.

What about tackling climate change itself? If there is a bright spot to the dire news about the state’s climate future, it’s that California has taken the lead in U.S. efforts to combat climate change. For example, Assembly Bill 32 (the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) was enacted into law to establish a comprehensive program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources throughout the state.

The SIO extreme-climate forum was held at the behest of Gov. Jerry Brown as part of a series of events on climate change that the State of California is undertaking over the next several months with the goal of guiding contingency plans for extreme-weather disaster response. PDFs from the individual presentations are available at http://sio.ucsd.edu/ extreme_climate. Workshop videos have been posted on the SIO website.

La Jollans remember the late Alfonso de Bourbon

By Dave Schwab Alfonso de Bourbon, 83, was someone nearly everyone in La Jolla recognized … but hardly anyone knew.

Since his tragic, accidental death on Jan. 11 when he was pinned between the loading dock and dumpster bin at Jonathan’s Market by a tractor/trailer driver who was unaware of his presence, the town has been buzzing with Bourbon stories.

“He was a colorful part of La Jolla,” said Janet Becker, a Jonathan’s market employee who identified the body of the eccentric, flamboyant and well-mannered Bourbon. “All the business people knew him.

He was a nice man.”

La Jolla Town Council President Rick Wildman said he knew Bourbon well.

“He owned the condo he lived in,” said Wildman, who’d been a guest at Bourbon’s home. “His home was immaculate, with lots of pictures of beautiful women he’d dated.”

Noting Bourbon always had an eye for the ladies, Wildman said Bourbon would ask of him, “Would you talk to some of the women that you know and tell them I would be happy to escort them if they would buy me dinner?”

Chris Stokes, former executive director of Promote La Jolla added, “He was definitely one of those characters in the Village that you never forgot once you met him. He’d been around so long — it’s like he’d always been there.”

In Memory ■ A memorial service for Alfonso de Bourbon, a native of New York, is planned for Friday, Jan. 20 at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church, 7669 Girard Ave., where he was a parishioner. Call for service time.

■ Church Phone: (858) 454-2631 Community planner Joe LaCava said Bourbon “was just one of those institutions that everyone seemed to know about … he added a little bit of color and history to La Jolla. He seemed to be everywhere and know everyone. He is going to be missed.”

Bourbon was known for his daily strolls through the Village and as a storyteller.

One yarn Bourbon related, turned out likely to be true: He was of royal lineage.

“Our understanding is he was the illegitimate son of the prince of Spain who was third in line to the throne,” said Nancy Warwick, owner of Warwick’s Bookstore.

“He had a book about it that he wrote. He came in almost every day for half an hour before closing and just found a chair and read. He liked books about World War II.

It’s one-stop home shopping at lajollalight.com/homes

As he got older, he would fall asleep.”

Warwick’s was part of Bourbon’s daily pilgrimage about town after having dinner nearby at Girard Gourmet.

Diana Goedhuys, restaurant co-owner, said Bourbon ordered the exact same item off the menu every day and paid for it with exact change, $5.93, enough for a cup of coffee.

She said most folks, politely ignored his advances.

“A woman came in here yesterday who did exactly that with him for years, and she saw him coming out of the post office at 4 p.m. the other day, and instead of ignoring him she said hello and wished him a happy new year. That was two hours before he died. It completely spooked her.”

Scripps researcher showcases the restoration of marine park in Baja

By Chris Palmer A decade-log ban on fishing in a marine park in southern Baja has resulted in a dramatic resurgence of ocean life, according to Scripps Institution of Oceanography Postdoctoral Researcher Octavio Aburto-Oropeza. Aburto-Oropeza showcased the success of Cabo Pulmo National Park to a near-capacity audience at January’s Jeffrey B. Graham ‘Perspectives on Ocean Science’ lecture hosted by the Birch Aquarium.

Aburto-Oropeza’s lecture, ‘Marine Protected Areas: A Success Story’, detailed the restoration of Cabo Pulmo since it became a marine protected area in 1995 and featured stunning photography of the region. Aburto-Oropeza cited Cabo Pulmo, a now-thriving undersea Octavio park near the southAburto-Oropeza ern tip of Mexico’s Baja peninsula, as an example of how marine reserves can flourish given the proper protection.

“For me, this area is like a time machine. I am now able to see all of these species that I only read about in the literature,” he said.

Over the course of hundreds of scuba dives in 1999 and 2009, Aburto-Oropeza and a team of Scripps researchers inventoried the amount of fish biomass (a measure that reflects the number of fish and their individual sizes) in the waters near Cabo Pulmo, as well as several nearby marine protected areas. To the researchers’ surprise, fish biomass in Cabo Pulmo increased by 463 percent over the decade, the largest such increase ever recorded in a marine protected area. In contrast, the neighboring protected

Up next n Online: Aburto-Oropeza’s lecture can be viewed at ucsd.tv/oceanscience nO n Feb. 13: Marine biologist Heidi Dewar will discuss how high-tech tools used to track the complex behaviors of fish advance conservation, 6:30-8 p.m. $5-$8. n RSVP: (858) 534-5771 areas showed almost no increase in fish biomass over the same period of time.

In addition, the number of predators in Cabo Pulmo increased by nearly 1,000 percent from the initial 1999 count, which is significant given that research has shown that ecosystems top-heavy in predators tend to be the most sustainable. The average size of individual predators also increased.

“The largest predators in the Gulf of California are now in Cabo Pulmo,” said AburtoOropeza.

The difference between Cabo Pulmo and the other protected areas in the Gulf? The entire area of Cabo Pulmo has been declared a “no-take” area where fishing has been banned, whereas considerably smaller portions (close to 1 percent) of the nearby areas have been designated as no-take. Such small no-take zones are the norm for the vast majority of the world’s 5,000 or so marine protected areas.

“Cabo Pulmo confirms that by using notake marine preserves we can protect endangered species,” said Aburto-Oropeza, who hopes that conservationists can apply the lessons learned in Cabo Pulmo to the broad network of marine reserves that went into effect in last fall in Southern California amid criticism that such areas do not produce a significant amount of marine life.

Fish swim in roots of mangrove in Cabo Pulmo.

Initially, only one-third of Cabo Pulmo was no-take. Credit goes to the local population of Cabo Pulmo for initiating the expansion of the area to 100% no-take, making it, at a mere 71 km2, 70 times larger than the average no-take protected area.

“The local people changed their lifestyle.

They left their nets and fishing boats and decided to protect the reefs,” said AburtoOropeza, adding that the economic benefits of embracing tourism over fishing have been significant.

The locals still fish, but only outside the borders of the national park. “They know the beauty of the land and the ocean will attract more and more visitors in the coming

years and will generate enough work to sustain their community in the long term.”

In spite of the success of Cabo Pulmo, Aburto-Oropeza sees worldwide ocean productivity collapsing at an ever-quickening rate due to pressure from fishing as well as from coastal development. For example, in Cancun estuaries, mangrove forests, which are spawning grounds for some fish species, have been cleared for development, devastating those fish species.

Even Cabo Pulmo could be in danger. A 30,000-room hotel development is planned for Cabo Pulmo, but for now, financial difficulties for the developers have given the region, and its inhabitants, a reprieve.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Burns Drugs: La Jolla’s hometown pharmacy

By Marti Gacioch Personalized service with a smile aptly describes owner Wayne Wood’s business approach to Burns Drugs, a La Jolla landmark founded by Robert Burns and Struther Kay in 1952.

“I give my heart to the business and our customers daily and try to engage with them on a personal basis, so they know who I am and that they can ask me questions about their health needs,” Woods said. “I think that’s important and something that bigchain pharmacists have lost over the years.”

A San Diego native, Woods earned his B.S. at the University of WyoWayne Woods ming’s pharmacy school. Woods bought Burns Drugs from Orrin Gabsch and Art Keever in 1991. As an independent drugstore, Burns Drugs competes strongly with chain store pharmacies by matching their state-of-the-art equipment and providing a modern range of products (gifts, cards, cosmetics) and services with a personal touch.

“By being here six days a week and for consultation, we really get to know the peo-

ple of La Jolla, and we become more than just customers and management; we become friends and watch their families grow,” Woods said.

In 20 years, Woods took Burns Drugs from a traditional family drugstore to a modern pharmacy while maintaining its old-fashioned charm and hometown feel. Staffed by 43 employees, the store’s services feature a range of immunization programs, including flu and pneumonia vaccines and a travel clinic.

“People tell us where they’re going and we advise them about what immunizations and prescription products they’ll need and give the immunizations on the spot,” Woods said.

Three durable medical equipment experts guide customers through the store’s extensive selection of sale and rental wheelchairs, walkers, power beds, chair lifts, incontinent, diabetic, wound care supplies, etc.

Compounding services are a key focus of Burns Drugs’ two compounding pharmacists. Their areas of expertise include facial creams, pain therapy, hormone therapy and veterinary formulas.

Burns Drugs offers free mailing for all prescription products and provides home delivery within the La Jolla area.

Burns Drugs is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday-Saturday at 7824 Girard Ave. (858) 459-4285. burnsdrugs.com

More water projects on the horizon for Shores residents

By Dave Schwab La Jolla Shores merchants got a real sense of déjà vu when they were told yet another water project — emergency repairs to Sewer Pump Station 27 in Mata (Laureate) Park — needs to be done, disrupting business during its peak season, the summertime.

“This pump station needs a complete upgrade because it is having severe vibration and capitation issues leading to acute malfunction,” city civil engineer Luis Schaar told the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) at the advisory group’s Jan. 11 meeting.

“Last New Year’s, the pumps failed. Our wish would be to postpone construction, but because the pump’s in such bad shape, we’re really concerned about delaying this project further.”

The news came as an unpleasant surprise to board members, who after months of deliberation, just got the city to agree to significantly downsize a storm drain project on Avenida De La Playa.

Merchants feared construction impacts from that project would have driven some of them out of business.

“You’re going to be putting three kayak businesses out on the street,” said board

member Mary Coakley.

But Schaar warned the association, “If we have a pump station failure that closes down the beach, that will be catastrophic.”

Board member Tim Lucas suggested Schaar and the city “get the mediation group with the community and businesses back together again and meet with them to get a timetable up and see if we can get this work done in a way that’s not going to have a huge impact on the community.”

Engineers said they would consider what they had heard and return again with the city’s response to the advisory group’s request for community mediation.

It takes a lot more than just good intentions, because we’re actually going to decide what kind of America we leave our grandchildren in the next few years.

Our readers write: Fowl stench story draws comments Odor-eater ideas Regarding the article “Such a Fowl Stench,” in the Jan. 12 issue, I have a couple of suggestions: 1) Pray for rain … lots of it! It’s FREE and someone else does the dirty work.

2) If La Jollans feel throwing money at the problem might help (some might stick), I like Carlos Sebastian’s idea of spraying the cliffs with seeds. We could then set up an admission booth and charge folks to see the biggest chia pet display in the world.

Dave Ish La Jolla

Nature’s ‘smells’ are trivial Such a “fowl” stench? Well, I have only three little words to say: Live with it.

This constant complaining about Mother Nature’s environmental impact on the community is going on the nerves of many La Jollans. I came to the village Jan. 13, 1962, that’s 50 years ago.

Thousands of people would give a

lot to live here for the beautiful coastline, the climate, the everrolling Pacific’s gentle waves kissing the rocky and smooth shoreline, the sanctuary of sea life — all an integrated part of this beautiful area. A village by the sea.

Many La Jollans put up with far worse issues, such as traffic on La Jolla Shores Drive, which hardly ever stops and produces the noise and pollution from the cars. Other areas are affected by this as well.

There are no articles published concerning this issue.

People living in the hilly areas who have this daily “terrible ocean view,” are not bothered by some of the annoyances of others. It is always the impact of nature — the seals, a never-ending story — now the pelicans and the gulls making the headlines. Enjoy our Village ... and like I said: Live with it!

Isabella Miram La Jolla

Seaside living = fresh air, foul odors Regarding the cover story last week, “Such a Fowl Stench,” please

Our Readers Write

Shark sightings lead to canceled vacation The Dec. 29, 2011 Letter to the Editor, “Seal dumping has led to ocean safety issues,” has invoked a question. How have the resorts (Beach and Tennis Club, La Jolla Shores, etc.) been alerting their guests to this potential hazard?

They have “shuffling your feet” for stingray protection. What do they advise for Great White Shark protection, “ocean abstinence” or perhaps, “enter at your own risk?”

I find the casual attitude of some to be alarming. Our family has been coming to La Jolla for over 40 years and this year my daughter and her two daughters have chosen to not make reservations at their favorite resort because of all the recent shark activity. Our grandchildren have always spent from early morning to late afternoon in the ocean and last summer’s alerts and beach closure have frightened them. We would love some assurance that this is being addressed in a serious fashion.

Cruise Ship Safety

Passenger safety must be paramount on cruises As a former naval officer; officer-of-the deck underway, independent and formation steaming; and qualified marine navigator and instructor, I have questions concerning the grounding of the cruise ship Costa Concordia off the coast of Italy.

Was the captain on the bridge exercising control of the ship? If so, why was the ship so close to the rocks? If not, who was on the bridge conning the ship? What were their qualifications?

everyone, we need to remember that we live by the seaside — an unabashedly and unapologetically Mother Nature — warts and foul stench. This is not SeaWorld. Nor Marine Land. There is no artifice here. This is the ocean. This is nature. And to even consider that some magical potion would eradicate the unpleasant, albeit natural odor coming from pelicans and cormorants is akin is to the hairbrained suggestions offered several years ago to rid the seals from the Children’s Cove: barking dogs and loudspeakers blaring dog barking sounds. It is also reminiscent of an

Was there a maritime pilot on the bridge? The most dangerous period in peacetime for a ship underway is when it is leaving and entering port or traversing in close proximity to land.

This is when you have to be on full alert.

Why did the Costa Concordia only hold emergency evacuation drills once every 15 days?

During a 15-day period the ship would normally visit a number of ports and embark new passengers. A drill should be held prior to leaving every port. The maritime industry should evaluate the viability of lifeboat systems that fail when a ship takes on a significant list that makes it very difficult or impossible to launch lifeboats. More attention must be paid to the safety of passengers and crew.

Donald A. Moskowitz Londonderry, N.H.

Planning commission ignores codes At the Jan. 5 La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) monthly meeting, the Trustees voted to ratify a nominee to the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (LJSPRC).

They did this despite the fact that on April 14, 2011 the City of San Diego issued a Civil Penalty Notification for code violations for her home at 2210 Avenida de la Playa. The City cited her home for nine code violations, which includes an illegal garage conversion and the removal of three off-street parking spaces. The leadership of our community planning group has known of these violations for the past eight months, yet chose not to share this information with the other Trustees. When we informed the other Trustees of the violations, Trustee Joe La Cava stated his rationale for her ratification was: “To ensure as a member of the LJSPRC she would be under the umbrella of the LJCPA, thereby receiving indemnification and defense from the

over-jealous member of the then Promote La Jolla association who wanted to recruit bus bench sitters to sit on benches and deprive the homeless of a place to sit and then to send them packing on buses back to Arizona.

Please relax. This is nature. And we are fortunate to be this close to the real world … not SeaWorld.

Take a deep breath and accept nature for what it is. It could be so terribly worse with no pelicans or seals? Remember the canaries deep inside the mines?

Chuck Buck La Jolla

City of San Diego.” As residents of La Jolla we believe it is not rational for our community group to ignore our codes and knowingly appoint a nominee to the LJSPRC when that individual is in violation of the codes he or she is appointed to judge others by.

Although there is no Floor Area Ratio (FAR) restriction in La Jolla Shores, at this same meeting, Trustee Phil Merten urged trustees and the public to support the appeal of an applicant’s proposed home based on FAR. However, the author of the La Jolla Shores PDO and former City of San Diego Architect, Mike Stepner, has stated; “A FAR was not included in the La Jolla Shores PDO because it was not believed to be a useful tool for guiding development in our neighborhood. Because of the nature of the area, it was felt that more specific design guidelines were required. Set back and height requirements coupled with design guidelines was a much better way to ensure unity with variety in new projects.” Co-author of the LJSPDO, the late architect Dale Naegle, confirmed there is no FAR restriction, as evidenced on building plans he prepared for his clients in La Jolla Shores. It is time our community group must stop appealing applicants based on its self-serving and self imposed FAR restriction. Their arbitrary FAR will lower property values of older homes in La Jolla Shores by approximately 15 to 25 percent. As residents of La Jolla Shores, we believe it is reprehensible for this community group to disregard our LJSPDO and impose their capricious FARs when reviewing an applicant’s project.

Pedestrians beware: It’s a jungle out there guest COMMENTARY

By Linda Hutchison am fortunate to live in an area of San Diego where I can walk everywhere. As a freelance writer who works alone at home, I appreciate being able to get out almost every day in the fresh air and combine walking with running errands, going to exercise class, strolling along the oceanfront, meeting friends for lunch, or even calling on a business client. If the day ever comes that I have to Linda Hutchison give up driving, I could survive without a car.

But now I’m beginning to wonder how long I can survive walking. It’s becoming scarier and crazier out there every day to be a pedestrian.

We already know it’s crazier to drive on the freeways: more people with more to do, in a hurry in their huge vehicles. An attempt to lower the national speed limit to 55 mph after the oil shortages in the 1970s lasted only 13 years, so now everyone is tailgating, even if we’re doing 75 in the slow lane. I learned the hard way to get over my flippant habit of flipping off these tailgaters when one tried to run me off the road in his big pick-up truck. It could have been worse. He could have had a shotgun.

Now this me-first impatience has spread to the surface streets. What used to be sacrosanct

I

in California – the right-of-way of the pedestrian – has lost more asphalted ground every year. Anyone who’s been in California for awhile can remember feeling reasonably safe using a crosswalk. Cars would actually stop.

Now we don’t dare put a toe out over the curb even at a green light for fear it will be ripped off, New York-style, by a car careening around the corner.

Instead of looking once before stepping off the curb, I now look two or three times in all directions. I don’t assume the drivers see the little man light under the green light, or the sign, DRIVERS MUST YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS. I don’t assume, even if all cars are stopped and I am halfway through the intersection, that they will remain stopped. I have been surprised more than once by cars grazing my behind or making me run so fast my hat falls off.

I have seen cars bear down on women with children and old people with walkers.

What is it that is so important, I wonder, that they can’t wait an extra minute? Why have they forced us to become such defensive walkers, robbed us of our pleasant, strolling right-of way?

One embarrassing morning, I lost it completely in the middle of the street when a black Jaguar snarled toward me, leaping cat hood ornament aimed right at my midsection. I started shrieking and cursing. Under one arm, I had my yoga mat, but with my free one I gestured and gave the finger like a madwoman.

People were cringing around me. I felt like a hypocrite with my yoga mat, and when I got to class, I told the teacher, an extremely serene

man, what I’d just done. He laughed. “Oh, I do that,” he said. “People ask me if I’m always so calm and I tell them the only time I’m not is when I’m driving.” I laughed a little, but this did not make me feel better.

Walking back from class, I realized that we pedestrians are not safe on the sidewalk either.

Drivers pulling in and out of parking lots do not see us or do not care. Most large parking lots have stop signs at their exits to the sidewalk and street. They must be invisible. The majority of drivers (I have started to count) wheel right on through them.

At home, I can see and hear traffic from my second-story windows. At certain times of day, around the corner from two schools, it is a busy block between two intersections. Mothers stream by in silver SUVs, cell phones glued to ears, kids strapped into back seats. The parents on foot have a hard time navigating.

When I first moved here five years ago, I heard honking only once or twice a week. Now it’s several times a day. Occasionally, in a very satisfying scenario, two motorcycle cops set up at opposite corners and pull over drivers one after another and the honking stops.

What is the answer? Do we have to post cops on every corner to make people slow down? Do we have to put up what are called “traffic calming” signs everywhere? Slow down, smell the roses … Somehow we have to make drivers and walkers more aware.

According to the Walk San Diego website (www.walksandiego.org), we are 36 times more likely to be killed walking than driving a car; each year more than 6,000 pedestrians are killed and 90,000 are injured in the United States.

Often, as I am pondering and gazing out my kitchen window, I see families and other groups of people go by on those Segway people movers. In single file, they glide gracefully along the sidewalk. Walkers on wheels.

They have on helmets and look as if they are on their way to some sort of game, but really, they are tourists seeing the sights in a different way.

I try to imagine myself on one. Would I feel any safer? I doubt it. With my luck, I’d run over small dogs and sail right into a school bus. Come to think of it, I remember reading that the owner of the company that manufactures them died on one a few months ago.

Less than a year after British tycoon Jim Heselden bought the Segway company from its American inventor, he was tooling around his property in Yorkshire on a people mover and drove it over a 30-foot cliff into the river below. No specific cause of the accident was ever determined, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it involved a speeding lorry or mini.

So I guess I’ll stick to using my own legs, learning to be a calmly cautious walker. I can hope that the world and its drivers slow down long enough to read signs and spare a few lives. We may have to put up more blinking signs warning drivers they are going 60 in a school zone (as if they didn’t know!) or that right of way doesn’t always mean them. I may have to walk to more yoga classes. But I refuse to wear a helmet.

La Jolla High girls enjoy turnaround on hardwood

No. 2 UCSD caps best start in program history with win over Cal State East Bay Chelsea Carlisle and Lauren Freidenberg scored 20 points apiece to lead the No. 2 UC San Diego women’s basketball team to an 84-73 victory over visiting Cal State East Bay in a California Collegiate Athletic Association clash last weekend at RIMAC Arena.

All five starters scored in double figures for the Tritons, who rode their impressive offense to another convincing victory. UCSD shot a season-high 55 percent from the field to become the first team in program history to win its first 15 games of the season.

The Tritons (15-0 overall, 9-0 CCAA) eclipsed the previous mark, which was set two years ago when the 2009-10 squad won its first 14 games and finished with an overall record of 25-5.

“We’re very proud of the fantastic start that we’ve had, but we realize how far we still need to go to accomplish our goals,” fifth-year head coach Charity Elliott said. “That we’ve been able to win 15 games in a row is really a testament to the effort this team put in over the summer and the focus we’ve had up to this point. But we know its going to get harder every night and we have to continue to work and get better every day.”

Team already has more wins than last season

By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com Winning is more fun than losing, right? Just ask the La Jolla High School girls basketball team.

This year, at a little more than the midway point of the season, the Vikings have more wins than all of last season with a 7-9 record.

That record may not be that impressive to

some, but last year the team only won five games.

The last time the Vikings had a winning season was way back in 2006, a year they went 19-8 before losing in the second round of the CIF Division III Tournament to Santana.

Several factors are responsible for the turnaround this season.

“I think we’re a lot more focused at practice this year, and of course the new players are really good and help us out,” said Ashlyn Warney, a senior

The Triton men won by a score of 165-97 over Cal State Bakersfield, which is ranked No. 8 in the latest CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Division.

La Jolla Country Day ranked No. 11 in nation by USA Today High School Report

By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com The La Jolla Country Day girls basketball team was ranked No. 11 in the latest USA Today Super 25 rankings.

The Torreys are 16-1 on the season and have won the John Anderson Tournament in Phoenix. The lone loss on the team’s schedule this season was a twopoint loss to Long Beach Poly in the finals of the Oaks Christian Christmas Tournament.

Despite the high national ranking, there is one team ranked higher in California — No. 5-ranked Winward of Los Angeles.

Ironically, Windward was the team that defeated the Torreys last season in the semifinals of the CIF Division IV State Tournament. Windward won the state title a week later against St. Mary’s, Berkeley.

LJYB hosting ‘Positive Coaching Alliance’ workshop for volunteers

By Tom Murphy, LJYB La Jolla Youth Baseball feels strongly that better coaching makes for a better experience for all involved in the league. The baseball field is a virtual classroom and there are endless teaching opportunities for volunteer coaches and mentors to have a positive influence on youth athletes. To this end, LJYB is hosting a “Positive Coaching Alliance” workshop on Tuesday, Jan. 24 from 6:30 8:30 p.m. at the LJHS Parker Auditorium (750 Nautilus Street).

The workshop is free to any parent of players registered for the 2012 season.

Please go to www.

LJYB.org to RSVP for the workshop.

All parents who plan to volunteer as a manager, coach, team parent or assist during the season are expected to attend. Any volunteer unable to make the live training session can take the course online.

The Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) offers a number of programs and LJYB will introduce the “Double-Goal Coach®: Coaching for Winning and Life Lessons” workshop on Tuesday night. This interactive workshop presents re-

search from experts in coaching, education and sports psychology. Every participant gains access to dozens of practical, proven tools to increase success during their next practice or competition. Participants will receive PCA certification and a copy of the “Double-Goal Coach” book.

The Positive Coaching Alliance (www.positivecoach.org) is a non-profit organization formed at Stanford University in 1998 to transform the culture of youth sports to ensure that all youth athletes can have a positive, characterbuilding experience.

Youth sports organizations that have partnerships with PCA include AAU, AYSO, Little League International, Pop Warner Football, U.S. Lacrosse, USA Rugby, USA Water Polo and USTA. LJYB is the first San Diego PONY baseball league to partner with PCA. The PCA initiative has been generously underwritten for three years by a LJYB family.

Reminder! Assessments for Pinto, Mustang and Bronco leagues will be held on Saturday, Jan. 28. Assessment times will be posted online.

From Vikings, A20 and captain for the Vikings.

Having a focus is easy when the results are positive, but what the team didn’t know entering the school year was that they would have a few new additions. Sisters Ashley and Sierra Westhem transferred to La Jolla from Palm Springs, while sisters — and twins — Maren and Rakell Andreassen are at La Jolla High for one year as exchange students.

On the season, the foursome are responsible for nearly half of the team’s points.

The majority of the scoring output, however, is coming from Ashley Westhem, a senior, who was second team All-Desert Valley last season at Palm Springs High School.

She points to team unity as one reason the team has tasted success this season.

“I think that it has a lot do with at the beginning of the season, I came in there really with a sense of team unity and I’m used to the school sports being a part of the whole school atmosphere and team spirit,” Ashley Westhem said. “I really wanted to bring that feeling of camaraderie to the team.”

And it’s worked.

“The only way to be successful on the court is to be successful off the court,” Westhem added. “And now it’s all coming together.”

Hartzman, this season has gone much smoother than last year as she was taking over a team with players and a program she was not familiar with.

“Last year was my first year with these girls so it takes a while for them to get used to me and my style,” said Hartzman who played college basketball at Nebraska-Omaha and was also a graduate assistant at Arizona State.

The team’s success also has come from putting in the work to get better.

“I think we have really just become more devoted this year,” senior JD Neri said. “We take it a lot more seriously, our practices are a lot more intense. We’ve come together more as a team, everyone is kinda new so its easier to make bonds with people.”

Though the team has won more

this season than in the past several seasons, the goals at the beginning of the season were not necessarily based on wins and losses. It was about working each day to become a better team to be more physical and not get pushed around by other schools.

“Last year we had a great group of girls but this year I feel like everything is a little more basketball serious,” Hartzman said. “We are all here for the same goal — we are all here because we want to be good, we want to compete and we want to get better.”

For Hartzman, this season is about building something at La Jolla High.

It’s about building a team that can be respected in the community.

“Nobody likes to lose 20 games in a season, that’s tough,” she said. “It is about building a program and starting at the top with the varsity level and then creating excitement and buzz so the kids in junior high, they know they’re excited to go to La Jolla because there’s a girls basketball program that’s headed in the right direction.”

And of course, they want to have some fun along the way.

“It’s definitely more fun winning,” Warney said. “It’s kinda rewarding to be with a team, we all just click and are able to play well together.”

Up next for the Vikings is a home game Friday night against Scripps Ranch at 6 p.m.

UCSD exhibit pays homage to lost art of letter writing

I

n the fast-paced age of electronic communication, there remain instances when an e-mail or text just won’t do.

As part of UCSD Arts Library’s current exhibit, “The Lost Art of Letters,” visitors can browse through books on penmanship and cursive handwriting, as well as literature on the topic of crafting proper thankyou notes and letters of condolence.

“This exhibit reminds people about some of the etiquette and rules for letters, how to address a person, and things not to say, (including) a list of 10 things never to say in a condolence letter,” said Scott Paulson, the library’s outreach coordinator.

“It’s OK to thank someone via e-mail, but a handwritten thank-you letter? That’s bonus points!”

On Jan. 25, at 3 p.m. penmanship expert Sylvia Rubin will offer tips on how to improve handwriting. Using stationery and pens provided, participants will write their own onthe-spot letters, which the library will deliver via the U.S. Postal Service.

“So few of us are writing cursive anymore, and even in the schools

Among the artifacts on display are books on cursive writing. so little time is spent on it,” Paulson said. “That’s not the end of the world, but still, sometimes a handwritten letter can make a wonderful impression, and this exhibit celebrates that.”

The exhibit includes examples of 17th and 18th century inkwells, modern calligraphy sets, and books about calligraphy and cursive writing.

“We even have some art books from our permanent collection that show famous letter writing scenes from master painters like (Johannes) Vermeer,” Paulson said.

The more technology-based society becomes, he added, the more people long to express themselves using old-school methods.

“People are crazy over origami.

People love fancy pens and paper,” Paulson said. “It’s just that there’s so few tactile things left.”

Sincerely yours,

Pat Sherman Staff Writer

P.S.

“The Lost Art of Letters” exhibit runs through Jan. 27 with a penmanship course at 3 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 25, at UCSD Arts Library (Geisel Library, first floor, 9500 Gilman Drive, Building 0175Q). Admission is free. More details at artslib.ucsd.edu or e-mail spaulson@ucsd.edu

What might you add or subtract in the area?

Pecans will improve your love life.

True. If the body does not get enough zinc, it may have difficulty producing testosterone — a key hormone in initiating sexual desire in both men and women.

Pecans provide nearly 10 percent of the recommended Daily Value for zinc.

The nuts are also rich source of minerals like manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium and selenium. The United States produces about 80 percent of the world’s pecan crop.

Meet Captain Brian Ahearn, assigned to the La Jolla-area

By Dave Schwab Call us.

That’s the advice of San Diego Police Capt.

Brian Ahearn, new commander of Northern Division, which includes La Jolla, when asked how people could best help officers do their jobs.

“If something is suspicious, amiss, then give us a call and let us come out and take a look at it,” he said citing an example of why calling is important.

“Sometimes when bikes have been stolen people figure, ‘I don’t want to bother the police,’ and they might be the 10th person in that one neighborhood who’s had a bike stolen that hasn’t called us.”

Ahearn noted the exchange of information “is huge for us,” because it “helps identify the trends, figure out who’s stealing these bicycles so we can put a stop to it.”

Northern Division’s beat is a 41-squaremile area of nearly 220,000 residents in Bay Ho, Bay Park, Clairemont Mesa East, Clairemont Mesa West, La Jolla, La Jolla Village, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, North Clairemont, Pacific Beach, Torrey Pines and University City.

Each of the communities has its own special crime problems.

In La Jolla, it’s car break-ins, especially down by the ocean. Ahearn said those crimes are something local residents can take preventative measures against.

“In La Jolla Shores, and all along the shoreline, people need to secure their valu-

Brian Ahearn, a policeman since 1986, is the father of two teens whose wife of 27 years is a nurse. He considers himself to be a blue collar guy. “I’m a worker,” he said.

“Like a lot of cops, we’ll roll up our sleeves and get the job done.” DAVE SCHWAB ables before they go in the water,” he said.

“Bring your keys with you when you go out swimming, scuba diving or snorkeling, don’t leave them on a towel or in the bushes or on

your tires where people may be watching or casing you.”

La Jolla’s geography, according to Ahearn, is an advantage in crime fighting. “We have

one or two ways to go in and out, north through La Jolla Parkway and south through Bird Rock,” he said. “It sets up nicely for us in setting up surveillance posts.”

Ahearn said the police department prides itself on its peacekeeping role out in the community, and a prime example of that is the ongoing situation at Children’s Pool.

“What we’ve tried to do is establish some ground rules for the competing sides and try to get them to be a little more civil to one another,” he said. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to create an environment where people will have the ability to express themselves there without being ridiculed or hurt because of it.”

Ahearn said he is proud to be top cop in Northern Division noting, “The City of San Diego has offered me a satisfying position the likes of which I never imagined. I’ve enjoyed every day: It’s not work, to serve the citizens of this great city — I look forward to doing it.”

FROM 10 Questions, B1 this role, my wife Gretchen; my sons Bret, Blake and Tyler; my daughters-in-law Allison, Sarah and Megan; and my wonderful grandchildren Harrison, Harper and Finn.

And beyond my family, it’s the faculty and staff that I serve and the patients that we care for. A special inspiration comes from the opportunity to try to help people with Down syndrome and their families.

In all these people, I am truly blessed.

What are you reading?

“The Soul Made Flesh,” by Carl Zimmer.

It’s a really good, albeit somewhat technical, read about the emergence of neurology — i.e. brain science.

What is your most-prized possession?

The ability to listen.

What do you do for fun?

I really just like to work; my work is my fun. Having said this, I am planning to spend time re-engaging in my interest in model railroading, and would like to do some model airplane flying. Oh yeah, and I have a really nice camera that I need to learn to use more effectively.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

I think the perfect list would include Socrates, Plato, Spinoza, Emerson, Jesus, Martin Luther, the Dalai Lama, Paul McCartney and my mother and father. I know that is 10, but we can just order a little more food.

We would ask Jesus to say the prayer, Spinoza to lead the toasting, and Paul to sing a song or two. Then we would all revel in the evolution of human thought, how each age made and is making its very special contribution, and speculate about the future.

Describe your greatest accomplishment.

Living long enough, and being lucky enough, to realistically forecast a time when the science that has been done in our lab, and many others, is used to create medical therapies for people with Down syndrome.

What is your motto?

I have a number of them, but one of my favorites is “always happy, never content.”

RELIGION & spirituality SPOTLIGHT...

Rev. Raymond G. “Jerry” O’Donnell, Pastor We believe that All Hallows is much more than simply a place to worship once a week.

It is also a center for learning, teaching, sharing faith experiences, and for giving and receiving that strength that we all need for our life-long journey with God. We are those servants mentioned by Jesus (Matthew 25:14-30). Each of us have been richly gifted, but these gifts must be invested wisely and generously to help others, according to the principles of good Christian Stewardship.

Know that you are most welcome at All Hallows. We hope that you will find your faith home here in our community.

May God bless you.

Hopefully, the fortune cookie won’t crumble in the Year of the Dragon ■ Ingredients: 2 egg whites • 1/2 cup unbleached flour 1/2 cup super-fine sugar • Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon almond, vanilla, lemon or orange extract

presentation includes its head, tail and feet to represent completeness), and uncut noodles for longevity.

Desserts include homemade fortune cookies with Confucius-inspired wisdom tucked inside. Oddly, this novelty confection does not have Chinese roots, rather a Japanese immigrant lays a solid claim to its creation, while it has been popularized

by Americans with a yen for Chinese cuisine.

Makoto Hagiwara, a gardener who helped design San Francisco’s famous Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park, takes credit for inventing the fortune cookie in 1914 as an act of gratitude.

Hagiwara was fired by the anti-Japanese city mayor, then subsequently rehired by his successor to complete the Tea Garden project, and he concocted cookies with thank you notes slipped inside to his loyal supporters.

These handmade sweets became staples at the Tea Garden, and were even sold at the World’s Fair in San Francisco the following year.

A competing claim was made by the owner of the Hong Kong Noodle Company, David Jung. Disheartened by the plethora of impoverished people near his shop, he allegedly created a cookie containing uplifting verses written by a Presbyterian minister in the hood, and distributed these free cookies to passersby.

Around 60 years later, The San Francisco mock Court of Historical Review tried to settle this dispute. An exhibit introduced was a fortune cookie containing the message — “San Francisco judge who rules for L.A. inventor not a very smart cookie.” The persuasive piece of evidence led to a ruling in favor of Hagiwara, while members of the Los Angeles bench condemned the decision.

That’s the way the fortune cookie crumbles — with 3 billion mass-produced yearly in this country — 60 million alone from Long Island’s Wonton Food Company every month.

BIRD ROCK

The feisty Year of the Dragon rears its mythological head as it wrings out the Year of the calm and tranquil Rabbit. The Eastern Chinese dragon, unlike its beast-like Western counterpart, is a beloved symbol of wisdom, power and valor.

The Chinese New Year is like a combo plate — a blending of American Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a Polish wedding. This protracted holiday of family reunion, gift giving, reverence for ancestors and an attitude of gratitude is shrouded in sweet and sour rituals and superstitions revolving around a gustatory orgy during the 15-day celebration that kicks off Jan. 23.

The feasting begins on New Year’s Eve with the delicacies including prawns for liveliness and happiness, dried oysters for a fine life, and raw fish salad to herald a year of good luck and prosperity.

On New Year’s Day the family enjoys “jai,” a vegetarian medley of lotus seed to hedge the odds for producing male offspring, dried bean curd for the fulfillment of wealth and happiness, and bamboo shoots to wish members of the household good health. Other celebratory foods are a whole fish to symbolize togetherness, a chicken for prosperity (the

■ Directions: Print messages on strips of colorful paper (3 inches long by 1/2 inch wide). Preheat over to 400º F. Line two cookie sheets with lightly greased parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and extract until frothy. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients and add to the egg whites. (For less doughy cookies, add 2 tablespoons of cold water).

Drop 3 or 4 circles of batter about 4-inches in diameter, well-spaced on each cookie sheet. Bake one sheet at a time until golden, about 5 minutes. Lift each cookie with a spatula, flip upside down and transfer to a flat surface. Place the fortune in the middle of the cookie, then fold in half. Transfer the cookie to the rim of a juice glass, and pull the pointed edges downward, one inside the glass, one outside. Let cool. Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Diners develop a ‘Crush’ on Solana Beach’s new Italian restaurant

By Kelley Carlson rom its classical Italian fare to its large cushioned chairs by the fireplace, Solana Beach’s Crush exudes comfort.

It’s apparent to guests the moment they step in the door — with a sweeping glance, they can see patrons chatting and relaxing in all areas of this softly lit restaurant, owned by Rancho Santa Fe resident John Luciano.

Another immediately noticeable feature: Crush’s chic interior includes chairs created from French oak wine barrels just inside the entrance, a nod to the inspiration behind the name.

General Manager Derry Van Nortwick recommends kicking off an evening at Crush in the lounge, where one can lean against a pillow on a couch next to the fireplace and engage in conversation, while sipping a glass of Italian wine.

There are currently about 260 bottles of vintages stored in racks around the restaurant, and patrons are welcome to pull them off the shelves.

“Take the night slow,” Van Nortwick suggested.

Satisfy those initial hunger pangs with an appetizer such as Mom’s Meatballs, topped with roasted tomato sauce, sheep’s milk ricotta and basil, while tuning in to the sounds of the house.

Scampi Arrabiata Live music emanates from the bar area beginning around 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, ranging from contemporary jazz and classical guitar to old-school Vegas tunes and Latin, a la Gipsy Kings style.

Next, venture into the main dining area, an especially popular place to be Thursday through Saturday nights. Or enjoy the ocean breeze on the patio, where flames “dance” over rocks in the center of a 14-seat table. It doesn’t matter where you sit, full dinner is served in every area of the establishment.

As with traditional Italian food, a great

deal of time is spent preparing the dishes at Crush, Van Nortwick noted. For example, the Bolognese Tagliatelle — one of the few items appearing on both the lunch and dinner menus — features an old-school six-hour ragu, gioia ricotta and herbs.

Among the house favorites are the Chicken Parmigiana, with provolone, pomodoro and basil; and the Roasted Chicken Rigatoni, including rapini, cherry tomato, spinach, mushroom and Parmesan broth. Simpler entrees are offered for children.

Round out the meal with the Butterscotch Budino, a light Italian pudding that incorporates sea salt, toffee and cookies.

If there’s still room (and energy) in the tank, hang around for Crush’s late-night — and second — happy hour.

“Take in the evening,” Van Nortwick said. “It’s not just a dinner house. We’re offering a really nice experience here. The party doesn’t have to end.”

Specialty cocktails offered include Velvet Margaritas, Moscow Mules and The Ginger, but they do change seasonally.

“We’re a young, fresh restaurant that offers a fun evening in San Diego,” Van Nortwick said. “The service we provide here is exceptional, and we have a great staff. Being an Italian restaurant, we (are) warm and welcoming, and treat (guests) like they are family.”

‘Dividing the Estate’ is sure to become an American classic

By Diana Saenger Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award-winning writer Horton Foote has entertained more than five generations with his profound ability to connect with an audience.

The magic continues as Foote’s “Dividing the Estate,” which earned a 2009 Tony Award for Best Play, makes its West Coast premiere at The Old Globe through Feb. 12.

Co-produced by the Alley Theatre, the play is directed

by Michael Wilson, who directed it at the Lincoln Center Theater where it drew raves from critics.

“Dividing the Estate” unfolds with humor and drama as it peeks inside a family of socialites. Several generations have gathered at the Texas home of their octogenarian matriarch Stella (Elizabeth Ashley).

They are there to sort out her estate before she dies because Stella has specific requests she wants to make sure are followed out.

Naturally, there are those who object, and how that plays out — along with the

If you go ■ What: ‘Dividing the Estate’ ■ When: Jan. 14-Feb. 12 ■ Where: The Old Globe Theatre, Balboa Park ■ Tickets: From $29 ■ Box Office: (619) 23-GLOBE ■ Web: TheOldGlobe.org arrival of outsider and Son’s fiancée Pauline (Kelly McAndrew) — is an intriguing tale to behold.

McAndrew (The Globe’s “August: Osage County,” “Alive and Well,” “Sight Unseen,” and Broadway’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”) said she was pleased to land her audition as Pauline.

Although she hadn’t seen the play when she read the script, she was hooked.

“You can read a play and know it’s good, but it’s not very often you can feel how it will run or how funny and moving it is,” she said.

“I was laughing out loud

Kelly McAndrew plays outsider Pauline. Courtesy and that doesn’t always happen when just reading, sometimes you have to hear it or see it. I instantly thought this was Horton Foote at the top of his game.”

Pauline is a schoolteacher who comes from a family of lesser means than Son’s family. Although he runs the estate, Pauline faces scrutiny from his mother Lucile (Penny Fuller) and Grandmother Stella.

“Foote is such a good writer in the way he introduces her into the family,” McAndrew said. “My arrival happens on a day where so many things are occurring

Jann Whaley for the family so it’s a tense, uncomfortable, funny, and awkward couple of days. I love Son, so it’s my job to see where I fit in. Stella wishes I would stop behaving like an encyclopedia because she doesn’t care for over-educated women, and Lucille says I have to talk about something, and the only thing they ever talk

about is each other … so it’s kind of where does the round peg fit into the square hole.”

The inclusion of Foote’s own children, Horton Foote Jr. (Lewis Gordon) and Hallie Foote (Mary Jo), appearing in this play is an added value.

Other cast members include: Pat Bowie (Mildred), James DeMarse (Bob), Hallie

Foote (Mary Jo), Nicole Lowrance (Sissie), Jenny Dare Paulin (Emily), Keiana Richàrd (Cathleen), Roger Robinson (Doug) and Bree Welch (Irene Ratliff).

McAndrew said audiences will be awed by Jeff Cowie’s beautiful set design and everyone will find someone in “Dividing the Estate” they can relate to.

A self portrait of Perrietta Hester and one of her landscape paintings. COURTESY

Association to highlight the art of Perrietta Hester The La Jolla Art Association will honor La Jolla painter and educator Perrietta Hester with an exhibition of her work, Jan. 30 through Feb. 12 at the association gallery, 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, La Jolla Shores.

A reception will be held Saturday, Feb. 4, from 4 to 7:30 p.m.

During Hester’s 40 years teaching art to adults, she has developed a wide range of skills in portraiture, landscape and wildlife. She is the co-founder of the San Diego Portrait Society.

“A winning painting has some sort of

attraction, a pulling power that is not necessarily a representational concept,” Hester said. “It might simply be a confident brush stroke or a beautiful color arrangement. In some way the painting draws us in and involves our emotions.”

The show also will include work from some of Hester’s former and current students, including: Grace Booth, Jean Collins, Raye Anne Marks, Charles Pinckney, Renata Shafor, Tamara Stautland and Ingrid Wolters. For more information, call (858) 459-1196 or visit lajollaart.org

Southern Caregiver Resource Center (SCRC), a provider of caregiver support services for unpaid family caregivers in San Diego and Imperial counties, will hold a 25th anniversary event from 6 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11 at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar, 11966 El Camino Real, South.

Funds raised will go toward sustaining SCRC programs and meeting the direct service needs of family caregivers of adults with disabling brain impairments including stroke, Alzheimer’s and other related dementias.

Honorary Chair, Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, will “attend” via a special video presentation. The keynote speaker

will be Judith Fox, author and photographer of the acclaimed book, “I Still Do: Loving and Living with Alzheimer’s.”

Grammy nominated Allan Phillips and the Latin Constellation Orchestra will provide the entertainment. The live auction will feature an exclusive Padres package, a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; free golf for a year and more. Attendees will also receive a free copy of Fox’s book.

Steve Atkinson and Kimberly Hunt of 10 News will emcee the soiree.

Tickets are $225 until Jan. 31, and $250 beginning Feb. 1 at caregivercenter.org and (858) 268-4432 or (800) 827-1008.

St. Nicholas Choristers seeks young voices The St. Nicholas Choristers, a children’s choir based at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Del Mar, seeks girls and boys ages 7 and up (boys of unchanged voice) who like to sing — regardless of musical experience or religious affiliation.

Auditions are available by appointment with Director of Music Ruben Valenzuela by calling (858) 755-1616 or e-mail rv.hypodorian@gmail.com. No preparation is required for the audition; the five-minute informal appointment involves simple range and pitch-matching tests The St. Nicholas Choristers are introduced

to a world of great music from traditional hymns and Gregorian chants, to Renaissance motets in Latin, Bach in German, and English cathedral music from among the most prized gems of Anglican choral and liturgical heritage. Great emphasis is given to music-reading skills, basic vocal production and overall musicianship.

The St. Nicholas Choristers follow the Voice for Life chorister training scheme and are affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music, America and the Royal School of Church Music, UK. To learn more, visit stpetersdelmar.net

Friendships take an unexpected turn in ‘The Recommendation’

Brandon Gill (Iskinder), Evan Todd (Aaron) and Jimonn Cole (Dwight) mix up the drama in ‘The Recommendation,’ directed by Jonathan Munby, through Feb. 26 in The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. photos by henry DiRocco

By Diana Saenger “The Recommendation,” an upfront look at real friendship, begins its world premiere in The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre on Jan. 21.

In the script written by Jonathan Caren (“Friends in Transient Places,” “Catch the Fish”) and directed by Jonathan Munby (“The Winter’s Tale,” “The Canterbury Tales”) two young men — one of upperclass, the other middle class — must re-examine their friendship when a third person becomes involved.

The cast includes Jimonn Cole (Dwight Barnes), Brandon Gill (Iskinder Iudoku), and Evan Todd (Aaron Feldman). Todd (“The Seagull,” “A Raisin in the Sun”) and playwright Caren were attending the same school when Todd approached Caren to see if he had written any plays with a 20-year-old character in mind. He discovered Caren had just finished his first draft of “The Recommendation,” and later Todd auditioned for the role of Aaron.

If you go ■ What: ‘The Recommendation’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings, Jan. 21-Feb. 26 ■ Where: 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park ■ Tickets: From $29 ■ Box Office: (619) 23-GLOBE ■ Web: TheOldGlobe.org “I found the play funny, but at the same time, serious,” Todd said. “It’s smart, but not overly intellectualized and touches on a lot of issues — class, friendship, and to an extent, race. The play has depth and is contemporary.

The writing is very good, and the characters are fun to portray.”

The smart and charming Aaron comes from a privileged background, but his new college roommate, Iskinder (“Holler If Ya Hear Me,” “Neighbors”), hails from a middle-class immigrant family.

“Aaron is a guy that every one knows or has in their

lives,” Todd said. “He’s charming, has family connections and knows how to work the system … through his own ambitions, drive and determination ends up on top.”

At first Aaron becomes a mentor to Iskinder and opens new doors for him.

Then Dwight (“The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” “Taming of the Shrew”), an accused felon, enters the picture and everything changes for the three men. Aaron discovers it will take more than his clout or money to solve sudden problems.

All three actors attended

The Julliard, and Todd previously worked with Gill. “I think this benefited us in working together here, and gave us a bit of insight into the way we became these characters,” Todd said.

“The play is so relatable to situations that take place today and raises a question about giving something to someone: Is it really selfless or does that giver expect something in return? ‘The Recommendation’ is interesting and lively, and audience members will find some of the circumstances funny because they have been in those exact situations.”

Monies were raised from individual BIA members and BIA related firms. Bikes were given to under privileged children in San Diego County in 18 different charities and toy drives.

Eric Jones of Urban Real Estate Services and Mark McMillin of The Corky McMillin Companies established the annual bike drive in 1995. Over the years, BIA Cares has provided bikes to more than 6,500 children and to 65 different charities in San Diego.

“We’re so pleased with the monies raised this year in a down economy. We have touched so many different children’s lives with the one item a kid always wants for Christmas, a bike! Our BIA members each year donate their money, time, labor and trucks to get the bikes out to each and every charity. We make sure each child gets paired up with the proper bike. Walmart has been our ongoing community partner by assembling the bikes we purchase. Its very rewarding to see the joy on the children’s faces who receive the bikes,” said Eric Jones, Chairman of the BIA Cares Bike Drive.

This years recipients included: Pro Kids Golf Academy & Learning Center, United Cerebral Palsy, SD Center for Community Solutions, County of SD Foster Care Program, Voices for Children, Promises to Kids, Channel 7/39 NBC Toys for Tots, KUSI Toy Drive, Channel 10 Toy Drive, It’s All About the Kids Foundation, SD Family Justice Center Camp Hope, Marines Families
