later, the Fountain of Youth may have been discovered. As it turns out, it’s at the corner of Fay & Nautilus Streets on the La Jolla High campus and goes by the name Coggan Family Aquatic Complex.

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer La Jolla Town Council trustees last week endorsed a Bird Rock resident’s request that the group work with local military officials to find a way to curb noise from low-flying, coastal helicopters, a problem neighbors claim is excessive and worsening. The council also heard a plea from Bird Rock professor Martin Bunzl, who asked the council to reconsider changing the name of its year-end Christmas Parade to Holiday Parade to make it more inclusive of diverse groups. “The last couple of years activity along the coast with helicopters and small planes has increased dramatically,” said Ed Quinn, who’s lived with his wife Nancy along the coast in Bird Rock since 1987. The Quinns are leading a petition drive, which has netted 135 signatures from residents who agree a problem with low-flying aircraft exists. “What we’re asking for, when possible, is for helicopters and planes to fly a mile offshore and 1,500 feet above sea level,” said Ed Quinn. “Those rules have been established by other communities in San Diego with the Marines and Navy.” Quinn said he’s gotten an inadequate response from local legislators, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Homeland Security after approaching them about addressing the coastal aircraft noise problem. The Navy, said Quinn, has been more responsive, actually meeting face-to-face with Bird Rock neighbors to hear their concerns. But the Navy suggested neighbors secure the backing of the town council in formalizing a request that “course rules” governing flights from San Diego military bases over La Jolla be changed to accommodate neighbors, and address their concerns about excessive noise and the possibility of “pilot error” from low-flying aircraft.

Schools budget on agenda tonight BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer Mike Price, area superintendent for La Jolla, University City and Kearny Mesa schools, will host an informational meeting on the district budget Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Muirlands Middle School. Organized by the district, the meeting will focus on updating parents “on how we got to where we are now,” Price said Friday. He’ll also give a general overview of the budgeting process, but won’t talk about specific school issues. “If the principals are there, I’ll defer to them. If not, we’ll make sure the questions are given to them,” he said. Superintendent Bill Kowba’s message posted on the district website www.sandi.net, states that “While our new governor, Jerry Brown, came out strongly in favor of education in his budget message,the district isstill expecting another year of cuts — possibly $120 million —to the 201112 general fund.” Local principals have been asked to prepare their own

spending plans before any decisions are made by the board, which is what’s happening now. Price said it’s possible that La Jolla’s schools will be “hit just about as hard as others, or maybe a little less, but it’s Mike still going to Price hurt.” The possibility for a smaller local impact of the budget crisis is because La Jolla does not have any magnet schools and the five schools in the cluster do not get any Title I funding that some schools get to assistlower-income students, Price said. While some reports indicate that a number of teachers will be cut, he said it’s uncertain how those cuts would affect La Jolla. John May, a member of the La Jolla Cluster Association — a group formed a year ago to advocate for the five local public schools —is well aware of the budget issues. He also serves on the school site council at Torrey Pines El-

ementary School. He said he’s pleased that Price is hosting Thursday’s meeting because “people have had tons of questions.” It will be good, he added, to find out what’s going on from the viewpoint of someone who knows. Making plans for cuts now, May added, makes sense. “It’s a whole lot easier to add something later rather than go back in with chain saws,” he said. May and Price both said the budget process for schools in California is backwards. “They have to do a budget in detail without knowing how much is in the (state) budget,” May said. “Price explained that the district must present a balanced budget to the county schools superintendent on June 30. In the past, the state allocations for education have not been known until later, even though July 1 is the deadline for approving the state spending plan. “Last year it was 100 days before we had the budget,” he noted. “Fortunately last year we guessed correctly.”

Lighting issues continue to plague Village streets BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer La Jollans are working on resolving a chronically troublesome 70year-old streetlight circuit that’s continually knocking out power to a section of the Village. The problem is that as soon as one part of the circuit is repaired, another part of the circuit fails. Working through official channels to correct the problem is taking a considerable amount of time — and likely will in the future. “We’re continuing to collect signatures on a petition,” said La Jolla Town Council Trustee Egon Kafka, who’s leading the effort to get the city to completely rewire and modernize a 240-volt configuration old circuit that powers streetlights along Girard, Herschel and Wall streets, as was done with a similar circuit on Prospect Street a couple of years ago. In the meantime, 16 shooting stars put up during the holidays remain up in a two-block section of lower Girard Avenue, which would otherwise be dark. La Jolla’s Streetscape Committee voted recently to pass a petition to Mayor Jerry Sanders asking him to put the La Jolla streetlight circuit at the top of the city’s Capital Improvement Project List for prompt

San Diego’s Only 5 year consecutive Thermage Pinnacle and Black Diamond Award Winner

action. Kafka has been a member of the committee and on Friday was asked to take over its leadership as Glen Rasmussen is stepping down. The good news, Kafka said, is that a couple hundred people have already signed the petition which he has been personally circulating and bringing to community meetings. The bad news, with the rate at which things are moving, it’s likely to take until at least September for repairs to begin. “If this were at the top of the Capital Improvement Projects List, it would probably take six or seven months for it to be planned and put out to bid,” Kafka said. “That’s June or July before they could start work and there’s the summer (work) moratorium, so it wouldn’t be going until September. It seems to me, even with a tailwind and an optimal outcome, this won’t be done until Halloween 2011. What do we do in the meantime for streetlights?" The affected streetlight circuit, located on two blocks of Girard Avenue, two blocks of Herschel Street and all of Wall Street, encompasses 11 tall poles and 48 streetlights including 11 “cobra heads” on tall poles, 34 original

Shooting stars, seen here in December, remain up along two blocks of lower Girard Avenue where streetlights are out.

than five months in 2010.” First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office is also working on the streetlight circuit problem. “We have contacted the mayor’s office about the situation and are working with them to see what can be done about this aging circuit,” e-mailed Erin Demorist, Lightner’s La Jolla rep. “We’ve

been working with Egon and with the community over the last few months to get regular repairs to this circuit, but the problems have continued, so the community would like to see the circuit replaced rather than having to be constantly repaired.” For questions or comments call (858) 551-2001 or e-mail PolishTheJewel@gmail.com.

SIO to head $25 million climate research project BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN In the debate over global climate treaties, among the issues hampering progress is the need to measure, report, and verify the actions of individual countries in emitting and reducing greenhouse gases (GHG). Today, only a few dozen continuous-observing locations exist to measure carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4); the two most important long-lived GHGs in the atmosphere. This lack of instrumentation severely limits data collection

and analysis. On Jan. 12, Scripps Institution of Oceanography/UC San Diego announced a partnership with Earth Networks (formerly AWS Convergence Technologies) in the world’s first privately funded global network for observing atmospheric GHGs. “This is based on research being done at Scripps for 56 years,” said Tony Haymet, SIO director. Earth Networks will invest $25 million, over five years, in new technology to create the network

as well as establish a new research center for climate science at Scripps. Earth Networks will initially deploy 100 GHG observing systems, beginning with 50 in the continental U.S., followed by deployments in Europe and other areas of the world. “We are going to take the pulse of the planet,” said Robert Marshall, president and CEO of Earth Networks. On hand for the announcement in La Jolla were top representatives from SIO, Earth Networks,

PLJ board members consider disbanding As the deadline nears on Jan. 25 to nominate people to run for the board of the new La Jolla Village Merchants Association, the four remaining members of Promote La Jolla’s board continue to meet. But they’re doing it out of the public eye, said President Rick Wildman, explaining that they are discussing “what we might do as far as disbanding. …We are no longer considering bankruptcy.” Last week, Wildman, Deborah Marengo and Jennifer Clark, via phone, met, he said. The other remaining board member, Glen Rasmussen, had other obligations and did not participate. The nonprofit, which previously held public meetings, continues to operate, even though it no longer has a contract with the city to manage the Village business improvement district. That contract was not renewed af-

Planning association searches for candidates The La Jolla Community Planning Association, recognized by the city of San Diego to make recommendations on local land-use matters, will hold its regular annual election on March 3 to fill seven of its 18 trustee seats. Trustees serve for three years. Candidates must be a member of the association in good standing and must have attended at least three meetings during the 12 months prior to the election. Attendance can be verified at www.lajollaCPA.org/members.html. Elected trustees participate in monthly meetings on the first Thurs-

day of each month at 6 p.m. Upon election, trustees receive a brief training of land development law and processes. Meetings are open to the public and the group is guided by bylaws, city policies, and the Brown Act to ensure that its process is inclusive and transparent, said Joe LaCava, the group's president. The planning group's work is supplemented by a subcommittee structure that includes Planned District Ordinance, Development Permit Review, La Jolla Shores Permit Review, Traffic & Transportation, Coastal Access and Parking Board, as well as

various ad hoc committees. A candidate forum will be held during the Feb. 3 meeting, which begins at 6 p.m., La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. Candidates will be given two minutes to present their background and their interest in becoming a trustee. Let a current trustee know of your interest or send an e-mail to info@lajollaCPA.org by no later than the LJCPA’s next regular meeting on Feb. 3. As candidates are nominated or self-nominate they will be posted at www.lajollaCPA.org/elections.html.

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 Department of Occupational Therapy at the Indiana University at Indianapolis 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 largely 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, just to name a few. 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 Ability Rehab for a complete evaluation.

Country Club Drive residents upset at construction work BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Construction activity at the Copley properties on La Jolla’s Country Club Drive has neighbors questioning what’s going on. The Copley estate has been processing two projects, the ongoing remodel of 7007 Country Club Drive and a lot line adjustment between 7007 Country Club Drive and the adjacent vacant 25-acre parcel over the last 18 months. Several residents in The Summit, a high-end development near David Copley's residence on the top of the hill overlooking the canyon and ocean, have raised the red flag over the work. Kent and Barbara Freundt have enlisted the services of land-use consultant Michael Pallamary of Pallamary & Associates, to represent them. In an e-mail, Pallamary said he’s been trying to ascertain the longterm plans for the various Copley properties, but to no avail. “In spite of my efforts, he (Copley) and his consultants have not responded to my inquiries … This has been complicated by the fact that Mr. Copley own/controls his property(s) through various forms of ownership and it is a bit of a challenge to figure out under what

entity he is advancing his development plans. … It is my opinion, and the obvious perception of my clients and others, that these projects and perhaps others, are all associated with each other like the convenient pieces of a puzzle. Such an action would appear to violate the Municipal Code.” The construction has also gotten the attention of two other neighbors, Norman Sarkin and David Frerker, both of whom say the changes being wrought are objectionable. “He’s (Copley’s) developing parking lots and structures and putting up a concrete fence, when they should at least put up a green fence which will mix with the undergrowth of the canyon,” said Sarkin, who expressed fear that the construction is disrupting the natural environment in the area and its plentiful wildlife which he described as “probably the last canyon we’ve got left in La Jolla.” “I would just like to see the status quo,” added Sarkin. “If he leaves everything alone — I would be happy.” Frerker said he is concerned about erosion and dirt washing away from the development as well as “the bigger picture.”

“Realtors have told me Copley’s mom had said this (undeveloped land) was going be donated at her death to be open space forever. And, lo and behold, that obviously didn’t happen.” Frerker thinks Copley should come forward and make his intentions known to the community. “There should be a full hearing at La Jolla Town Council where people are invited to hear what’s going on with the long- and shortterm plans and be involved in the discussion,” he said. Joe LaCava, president of La Jolla Community Planning Association which makes land-use recommendations to the city, said the city is aware of complaints about Copley construction activity and is investigating. “The Copleys have filed an application to make some changes to the property, like expanding the garage, and that public notice went out,” LaCava said. “People have observed some grading and landscaping activities that seem to be a little bit beyond what might be appropriate for that particular home. The city is taking complaints very seriously and they went and inspected the property

Construction activity continues at the Copley residence on Country Club Drive. MIKE PALLAMARY and found that construction activity at the house is starting to spill over into the adjacent undeveloped lot.” LaCava said Copley has been informed by the city that the grading activity may be illegal. “The city is evaluating that

grading and thinking about what might be appropriate mitigation measures, and we will wait for them to decide what they want (Copleys) to do,” he said. Neither David Copley nor a spokesman could be reached for comment.

FROM SWIMMERS, A1 meets in swimming and water polo, andyear-round workouts for numerous high school and club aquatic teams. The pool has become a draw for college and club teams from as far away as Canada and the East Coast of the U.S. Two snow-bound college teams are even calling the pool home this week, as they escape the freezing winters of Colorado and Pennsylvania to train in paradise and shed a few layers of clothing for a week. A daily fix Don’t be surprised, though, if researchers discover what many local La Jollans have known for years — whether it’s the water, the air, or just the activities and camaraderie itself, a daily dip at Coggan is one of the best ways to keep in shape and enjoy the longevity that most people only read about or see on TV. You won’t find much down time in Joan Henderson Brown’s schedule. She arrives at the pool daily with a smile on her face and true affection for everyone she runs into. Like most of her fellow future centagenarians,

Fast Facts

Coggan Family Aquatic Complex ■ One of the few,if not only standalone, unsubsidized public pools in the county. ■ Opened in Sept.2002 ■ Offers daily,10-swim, monthly and annual rates ($5 a day or $360 a year for anyone 65 or older) ■ Offers lessons for all ages,water polo and swimming teams, masters swimming, summer camps ■ www.cfaquatics.org she sets aside a few minutes to chat with lifeguards Courtney Camin and Joey Cavallo, who warmly greet each regular patron by first name. One gets the sense that the momentary stop at the lifeguard tower on the way to and from your swim is as indispensable as the time in the water itself. Revving up for the day In her white cap, matching

goggles and blue suit, Joan looks literally 20 years younger than her chronological age, which this journalist was sworn to keep a secret. It’s no wonder Joan is still active in real estate and nonprofit activities. After spending two hours in the pool, she’s got to do something with all that energy she gets from swimming. Greeting Joan with a hug several times a week is the matriarch of the swimmers at Coggan, Virginia Flagg. At 84, she’s more active than almost anyone you’ll meet. With no need for a car, Joan walks three to five times a week from her residence near La Jolla Cove, a mile from the pool. Once she’s in the water, she’s all business, which you’d expect from the woman who has won the La Jolla Rough Water Swim in her age group more times than she can remember. She no longer has any competition, she says, but still does the swim with her sons and their wives. After being regaled with so many stories from people who’ve led such colorful lives, it’s hard to choose a favorite. One of the most

memorable, though, had to be the discovery that Jim Boily, a wiry and wily 79 years young, was teaching Garrison Keillor how to ride a horse six decades ago at a camp in Minnesota. (Keillor is known to most people as the voice of Prairie Home Companion on NPR.) For Jim, the fountain of youth is the hot tub he can soak in after his daily run or tennis match. Older role model The most senior, and perhaps most regular patron, at the pool is Bill Watts. At 94,

he isn’t as fast on land as he once was, but he’s still nonstop for a half hour or more each day in the pool. Mixingup backstroke and freestyle the way he weaves together his stories about life before World War II, Bill is looked up to as a great role model, for obvious reasons. After all, who wouldn’t want to be independent, still driving, still swimming daily, and making new- and sometimes old- friends well into your 10th decade of a long, happy life? Don’t be surprised if Bill celebrates his 100th birthday in 2016 at

the pool. If you spend enough time at Coggan, the inescapable conclusion is that you will get to keep coming back for a long time. Just ask Bill, Joan, Virginia, or any of the other dozen or so happy swimmers enjoying life well after retirement age. But you’ll have to ask them when they’re on the deck — you won’t catch them hanging onto the wall. They’ll probably tell you they relish life out of the water as much as they do in it … or vice versa.

New law requires student whooping cough vaccinations A new law requiring middle and high school students to be vaccinated against whooping cough will go into effect for the 2011-2012 school year, according to the County’s Health and Human Services Agency. This requirement is designed to help prevent outbreaks such as the current one that brought the highest number of pertussis cases to California in 50 years. More than 1,100 people caught whooping cough in San Diego County in 2010, nearly tripling the previous record, county health officials said Thursday. Beginning July 1, all students entering 7th through 12th grades in both public and private schools must show proof that they have had a Tdap booster shot before they can start school. Schools have been informed there will be no grace period and that they should strictly enforce the requirement. Previously, the CDC recommended that children receive a booster shot of Tdap vaccine at 10-11 years. For more information about whooping cough, call the Health and Human Services Agency’s Immunization Branch at (866) 3582966 or go to www.sdiz.org.

Coalition links older adults,technology The new Technology and Aging Coalition of San Diego County is working to increase technology education as well as work with technology developers to create products with the older adult in mind. Its website www.AgeTechSD.org (and look under “Resources”) provides a listing of many technology education options that are available along with a list of computer clubs for older adults. They welcome suggestions about other learning opportunities that could be added to the list. The group was formed after the County’s Aging Summit on Technology last June.

minutes for input but precludes group action. “The name doesn’t represent the whole community, which is very varied and it’s unnecessarily exclusionary being a Christmas parade rather than a holiday parade.” Noting much of the ritual surrounding celebrating Christmas is secular rather than religious, tracing its roots to Charles Dickesn and 19th-century popular culture, Bunzl asked the town council to “take up this issue in a timely manner.” In 2005, the town council voted on a proposal brought by a small group of La Jollans to change the name of the parade and their request was defeated by a single vote.

In other business, the controversial issue of omitting Christmas from the title of La Jolla’s annual year-end parade resurfaced in November, after a five-year hiatus, when Martin Bunzl and his wife Deborah at a Bird Rock Community Council meeting challenged the group’s building of a community float to enter in a “Christmas” parade. They said the name was not inclusive of non-Christian groups. “I request you take up this issue again of renaming the parade as the holiday parade rather than the Christmas parade,” Bunzl told the town council during the public comment period, which allows two

Wine bar coming to Village BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer

A new family-owned and operated wine bar and bistro is on its way into La Jolla and will arrive sometime in the next couple months. “Initially we were hoping to open by Feb. 1, but now it will probably be mid-February to March 1,” said Nick Ravden, who, along with his wife, parents and business partner Martin Hall, just signed papers for the new establishment to be located at 7644 Girard Ave. in the space formerly inhabited by Café Lavande. “We had a good opportunity to get involved and take over that space and sort of establish a new identity there.” The new wine bistro, which likely will be called Finch's Wine and Bistro Bar, has a large outdoor courtyard space which is being reconfigured to cover and landscape it, as well as put in heating elements to accommodate guests year round. Eventually, the goal of the new business, which will start out with a beer and

Nick Ravden and his wife and parents are set to open Finch’s Wine Bar and Bistro at 7644 Girard Ave. in the next couple of months. COURTESY wine license, is to be fullservice with liquor. The bistro will be open for lunch and dinner and will have happy hours. “We will have a full-service menu,” said Ravden, who noted he hadn’t planned on getting into the bistro business, but jumped at the opportunity when it presented itself through his business partner, Hall, who knew the previous tenants. He said he and his business partners did their due diligence in researching the prospects for running a successful

wine bar. “The concept was to be in the Village and a wine bar seemed to be one thing that was missing,” he said. “Our goal is to be there for a long time.” Ravden said he and his family are actively seeking customer feedback on their new establishment. “We want to know what people in La Jolla like in terms of wine or food, certain brands they’d like us to carry," he said. "Our bottom line is we’re very open to suggestions.”

Google acquires eBook Technologies BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer La Jolla resident Garth Conboy confirmed Friday that his company, eBook Technologies, Inc., has been acquired by Google. Google was not releasing details, he said, and referred to Garth a stateConboy ment on what remains of the eBook website. It reads: “eBook Technologies, Inc. is excited to announce that we have been acquired by Google. Working together with Google will further our commitment to providing a first-class reading experience on emerging tablets, e-readers and other portable devices.” While he could not offer additional details, Conboy said he said he has had an office in La Jolla “in one form or the other since 1997.”

He said he and his engineering team focused on client software, reading systems and content production tools in the ebook industry. They also were involved in developing standards for what is now called ePub. Before eBook Technologies was founded in 2004, he was general manager for Gemstar’s eBook group, which was “spun down” when Gemstar decided to get out of the technology business after the dot-com crash. He and his partner John Rivlin licensed back their patents and technology to form ETI, he said. Before joining Gemstar he was vice president of software engineering with Softbook Press. He holds a number of eBookrelated patents. Various publications across the tech world have commented on the transaction, noting it was Google’s first transaction of the new year.

Ben Parr, writing on his blog at mashable.com said, “It’s no secret Google has big ambitions in e’books.” He noted “this acquisition is mostly about patents, personnel and technology, rather than hardware or software.” Information Week’s Thomas Claburn wrote that “Google declined to provide specific details about its future product plans. ‘We are happy to welcome eBook Technologies’ team to Google,’ said a spokesperson in an e-mailed statement. ‘” Conboy, whose wife Laura Ducharme is a La Jolla architect, said they will remain La Jolla residents. However, he will be working between Google’s Mountain View headquarters and offices in Irvine. He said he could not discuss how many other eBook employees will go with him to Google.

Crowd turns out to show support for cross BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Several hundred people turned out at a pro-cross rally atop Mount Soledad Memorial Saturday morning that was filled with revivalist overtones. Bearing flags and banners, the majority of those in the assemblage were in La Jolla protesting the Ninth Circuit Court's recent decision declaring the Soledad Cross to be unconstitutional on federally owned land because it is a religious symbol violating the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution. Some carried signs saying, "Defend the wall ... keep religion out of government." "When I was a kid this was a wooden cross and all of this (memorial) wasn't here," said Sam Spidal of Carlsbad, a military contractor."The core of this thing that's frustrated so many people is 20 years ago a guy filed a lawsuit to remove a cross that had already been

here for decades and decades because it offended him. I get offended every day. This is as much about the establishment clause as it is about freedom of speech. People are getting fed up with one judge overturning the will of the people. The history of San Diego is really tied to Mount Soledad and I hope it (cross) stays." "I'm a veteran and I'm sick and tired of people using this, which is a monument to veterans, for their political and religous agendas," said "New York" Myke Shelby, owner of San Diego Harley Davidson motorcycles and an unsuccessful mayoral candidate who ran because of the Soledad cross issue. "Leave it alone. Let this issue rest, just like those who have died for us are now resting." Dennis Agajanian, a Christian present at the rally to play his guitar and sing, said, "A lot of people say this is a Christian thing, but Mike (Shelby) is Jewish. He looks at

the freedoms we should have in this country, and the military should have to keep that cross up there. It's a time of confrontation, not negotiation. It's time that we started standing up for the truth, and for our freedom.” Pastor Jim Garlow, speaking during formal presentations at the event, said,"The fact is we were founded on distinct, Judeo-Christian, Biblical values. That means that the cross is not some violation of the establishment clause. It is not establishment to recognize the uniqueness of our particular heritage, our particular history." Charles LiMandri of the Thomas More Law Center noted the Soledad Cross, built in 1954, is a "familiar and treasured landmark,” adding that the Ninth Circuit's recent decision flaunts the will of the people. "We got Proposition A on the ballot and 76 percent of you showed up to vote to keep this cross intact,

keep the memorial as it is, where it is," he said. "There have been setbacks along the way before we got that 76 percent vote. We believe the (federal) Justice Department can and will petition the U.S. Supreme Court to take the

(Soledad) case. But we want to leave nothing to chance. So we're asking you to please fill out a card to send to the White House and to urge the president to request that the Attorney General petition the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case."

Speakers share benefits of historic home designation BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer About 50 people attending a public workshop sponsored by La Jolla Historical Society at Wisteria Cottage last Saturday learned about the process for, and benefits of, having their homes designated as historic. Presentations were made during the three-hour workshop by society president Connie Branscomb and acting and retired city of San Diego planners Kelley Stanco, moderator Angeles Liera and Diane Kane. La Jolla architect Ione Stiegler and La Jolla historic real estate specialist Linda Marrone also spoke. Branscomb noted 977

homes have been historically designated in San Diego since 1967. “Approximately 100 of those are in La Jolla,” she said. “We’re here today to encourage more in La Jolla.” Branscomb added there are several hundred other homes in La Jolla that could be eligible for historical designation. San Diego planner Kelley Stanco defined what the city considers a historical resource — "any improvement building, structure, sign, interior element, fixture, feature, site, place or object." Those wanting something historically designated need to formally apply to the city’s 11-member Historical

Resources Board to be considered for eligibility. To be eligible, one of the following criterion must be met: They exemplify special elements of a city’s, community’s or neighborhood’s architectural development; they’re identified with signficant persons or events in local, state or national history; they embody distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period or method of construction; are representative of the notable work of a master builder, designer, architect, engineer, landscape architect, interior designer, artist or craftsman; are listed or have been determined eligible by the National Park Service for listing

Don’t complain if you don’t participate OUR VIEW The calls are out for people interested in playing a role in La Jolla’ s future, and they’re coming from several angles. Y ou’ll see one elsewhere on this page from Joe LaCava on behalf of several local groups, one from the new group calling itself the La Jolla V illage Mer chants Association seeking nominees for its board and one from the Shores Association looking for board candidates.

In a note urging Shores residents to step up, Joe Dicks puts it pretty clearly: “Without adequate representation on the Association’s board, the voice of our community will be silenced. The LJSA wants and needs your participation in the local political process to ensure that the vision we have for La Jolla’ s future becomes a reality.” That goes for the whole community as far as we’re concerned. If you care, get involved. If you don’ t, stop whining that it’ s always the

Working together the best way to improve La Jolla COMMUNITY LEADER’S VIEW JOE LACAVA President La Jolla Community Planning Association Let me open with an invitation to become a member of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA); there are no dues, just attend at least one meeting per year . The more members we have the more diverse our viewpoints and the more likely that the LJCPA’s deliberations will reflect our community. Our Feb. 3 meeting is your last opportunity to become a member or renew in time for our annual election in March. Do become a member and remember to vote on March 6. A couple of other thoughts: ■ While the city thinks about the 100th anniversary of Balboa Park in 2015, La Jolla should be thinking about a 100th anniversar y of our own — the La Jolla Recreation Center. Kudos to La Jolla Park and Recreation Inc. for its work towards that milestone, but they cannot do it alone. They need our support to deliver the long over due renova-

tion of the building and grounds. W ill you step up to help them? ■ We appreciate the hard work by the mer chants to form a new entity (La Jolla Village Mer chants Association) to manage their business improvement district. The LJCPA looks for ward to working with the new group to return the village to a thriving shopping and dining experience. From a communitywide perspective La Jolla is best served when we have highfunctioning community organizations serving their respective stakeholders and working together in areas of mutual interest. Much like a stool needs three solid legs, so too La Jolla needs the business district, the La Jolla Town Council and the La Jolla Community Planning Association to preserve and enhance our high quality of life. Let us resolve for 2011 to be the year that these three community organizations are up and operating at their full potential. So too, let us continue working together to truly make this a Happy New Year for La Jolla.

same people on the boards and committees that have a say in how things operate around here. In some cases we agree, but there are explanations for why that happens: Once you’re on a board, the groups name people to serve on committees. Of course, there are some people who either live to ser ve and those who have higher aspirations and like the limelight. While that overlap is not as rampant as some may think, it isn’ t always a nega-

tive — those people bring an understanding of the community and how it’s run. We need some continuity , but we also need new faces to bring a new perspective and new energy to organizations searching for new ideas. Right now the opportunities abound: • Jan. 25 is the deadline to nominate candidates to serve on the board of the new business group. If you own a business within the Village group’ s boundaries and want to ser ve or have an employee you want to

nominate, go to www .lajollabusinessesunite.org/ to find the form. • Feb. 3 is the deadline to join the LJCP A so you can vote in the Mar ch election. See Joe’s column below. • Feb. 9 is the deadline to nominate yourself or someone else to ser ve on the Shores Association board. To nominate candidates, send an e-mail to jdicks@ dicksworkmanlaw.com. And if you don’ t want to run, the least you can do is join up and vote. Let your voice be heard.

One great white shark off La Jolla is one too many COMMUNITY VIEW BY ROGER RAFFEE La Jolla resident

It's misleading for the marine biologist you interviewed to say that the chance of getting killed by a great white shark is less than getting hit by lightning. The problem is that the general population isn't generally in the water in La Jolla. The odds are much higher if you only reference the populations that regularly swim, surf and dive in close proximity to

the piniped population. He said that the population of great whites would probably increase with the increase in the piniped population. Even one more great white cruising this area regularly is one too many. There is no place in the world with large seal populations that could be considered safe to go in the water. Great whites follow them wherever they go. The seals are not endangered — no one is claiming they are. They do have the

islands to go to, which is where they came from. A few can stay and sleep on the rocks like they used to. Within the next 20 years this place will be considered a dangerous place to swim and surf. The people who pushed having what will by then be a fullblown seal colony will have serious blood on their hands. Families will be devastated by the loss of their loved ones who will die the most horrible deaths imaginable. Generations of families will suffer.

Drinking tap water with gratitude YOUR VIEW BY SALLY MILLER La Jolla

I chose to move to this beautiful little corner of the U.S.A. with the full knowledge that my lifesustaining water must be imported. I appreciate the luxury of having drinkable tap water flowing from my faucets. I appreciate that my city and county do not dump raw sewage into our ocean

so I can take my grandchildren to our local beaches and they will be safe to play there. I have visited several countries where we were warned not to drink the tap water or even brush your teeth for fear of becoming sick. With our ever-increasing population, our city and county must go farther and farther away to find locations that are willing to share more and more of their water with us.

We must build more and more sewage plants to keep our environment safe. The infrastructure maintenance crews have just started to prepare my neighborhood to replace my aged water pipes. The foreman says it will take two months to complete my little street. I have the time — but I will not be signing this petition and will drink my tap water with gratitude.

OBITUARIES

Dr. Jack Geller 1925 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2011 Dr. Jack Geller, formerly of Chappaqua, NY, known for his ambidextrous forehands and ground-breaking prostate research, passed away January 6, 2011, in his La Jolla, CA, home from non-Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lymphoma aggravated by recent radiation treatments. Dr. Geller was at the forefront of research into medical treatment of BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy) and was instrumental in the development and use of Finesteride, or Proscar, for the treatment of prostatic enlargement. This caused a substantial decline (over 50%) in the number of TURP surgeries after 1991. The son of the late Dr. Max and Ida Geller, Jack was born in 1925 in New Rochelle, NY. When he was ten, after losing his right thumb in an accident, he doggedly learned tennis again with his left hand, becoming Number 5 in the boys division, captaining the Yale tennis team and eventually ranked Number 30 in the U.S. before the days of pro tennis. He loved competing at Forest Hills in the Nationals, in the days when amateur athletics could be managed by a busy young doctor. He always remembered playing Pancho Gonzalez in the stadium. After graduating from Scarborough School and a year at Yale University, Dr. Geller served his country. He was discharged as a First Lieutenant and returned to Yale, graduating in 1948 with honors. He began his medical studies at New York University, ďŹ nishing in 1952, again with honors. In 1957, he was selected to be the Moritz Rosenthal Fellow in Endocrinology at Mt. Sinai Hospital. After his fellowship, he started his academic medical career at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York where he advanced to Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of the Hormone Assay Laboratory. In 1970, Dr. Geller moved to Southern California to as-

sume the position of Director of the Internal Medicine Training Program at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center and Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the University of California School of Medicine, San Diego. He held these combined positions for 23 years. Following retirement, he continued endocrinology consulting at Kaiser Permanente. Dr. Geller contributed 108 original publications and 79 abstracts to medical literature. In l978, he originated the now wellknown concept of panandrogen (adrenal and gonadal) blockage in the treatment of benign and malignant disease of the prostate. He was honored with the coveted and rarely awarded Mastership in the American College of Physicians. As a physician, he trained over 500 house ofďŹ cers, providing superior teaching and enduring leadership. In athletics he made his stellar mark until the mid-80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, when osteoarthritis of the knees forced him to take up golf which escaped the expertise of his tennis game. As a human being, he was simply an inspiration, exuding warmth, enthusiasm, and humility despite his major accomplishments. He leaves behind his wife of 64 years, Suzanne Geller; his children, Dr. Jon Geller of Fort Collins, Colorado, and Jacqueline Geller Newman of La Jolla, CA; four grandchildren, Alexandra and Josey Geller and Joshua and Jamee Newman; three sisters, Genevieve Wyner of Boston, Harriet GreenďŹ eld of Danbury, Connecticut, and Marjorie Levitan of Whalen, Massachusetts. Donations in his memory can be made to the Cancer Center or Department of Medical Education at the Mercy Hospital Foundation, Mercy Hospital, 4077 Fifth Ave. MER 42, San Diego, CA 92103.

Harry Emil Revkin, 96, died Wednesday, Jan. 12, of natural causes at White Sands of La Jolla. Born in Milwaukee on Sept. 1, 1914, Revkin was the son of Wolf and Gussie Revkin. He was the ďŹ rst in his family to graduate from college, earning a degree in business from the University of Wisconsin in 1937. He married Charlotte Oray on Dec. 5, 1941.

Long-time San Diego Actor, Helen Marquardt, passed away on January 15, 2011, of coronary artery disease. She was born in New York City in 1928 of an immigrant Danish father, Charles Claudius Nielsen, and a second-generation NorwegianAmerican mother named Inga Rhode. They had met in Japan in their teens, and married in Vladivostok, Russia, in 1919. Helen Nielsen moved to California as an infant, grew up mainly in San Diego (but also in Marin County), graduated from The Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School in La Jolla, attended Northwestern University, and eventually earned several degrees from SDSU. Theater was Marquardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest passion in life, among many other strong interests. Following an early career in modeling and her years starting a family, she became a wellknown stage actor in San Diego from the 1960s to the 1980s. She performed at the Old Globe Theatre, San Diego Repertory Company, Circle Arts Theatre, SDSU, and elsewhere, earning three Atlas Awards from the Old Globe Theatre for her performances. Notable roles included Blanche in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Streetcar Named Desireâ&#x20AC;?, Eleanor of Aquitaine in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lion in Winterâ&#x20AC;?, and Alice in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tiny Aliceâ&#x20AC;?, among many others. She also directed plays, was a member of Toastmasters and MENSA, worked professionally in San Diego real estate for many years, directed the American Diabetes Association of San Diego, and spent several years as a professional fund-raiser. Forevermore, Marquardt will also be remembered for her oil painting, which she ďŹ rst took up in the mid-80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. She created gorgeous canvasses, primarily portraits, still lives, and landscapes. Many of her works hung in the U.S. Embassies in Cameroon and Madagascar, where her son Niels served as ambassador, and some hang today in his current ofďŹ cial residence as U.S.

No grief has a right to immortality. That ground belongs to joy, to hope, to faith. ~ Henry Ward Beecher

Consul General in Sydney, Australia. Marquardt retired from real estate in 2003 and moved to Grants Pass, Oregon. She returned to San Diego in early January, to be close to family. Marquardt was widowed in 1965 by La Jolla ďŹ reman and pioneer surfer, Bobby Marquardt, whom she had married in 1951. She is survived by their three children and their spouses: Lucinda Scalco of San Diego and her husband, Gene; Niels Marquardt of Sydney, Australia, and his wife, Judi; and Inga CanďŹ eld of Santa Barbara and her husband, Jack; and nine grandchildren. Her only brother, Fred C. Nielsen, died in 2007. Please sign the guest book online at obituaries.lajollalight. com.

Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open big break for local BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer For one area golfer, next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Insurance Open is more than just another golf tournament, though he will try and tell himself that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. Anthony Paolucci has made a name for himself already in the golf world as he was named the Rolex Junior Golfer of the Year last fall, an honor designated for golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best national player among 12- to 18-year-olds. Paolucci, who lives in Del Mar, is currently a senior at La Jolla Country Day and has committed to USC to play collegiately. It was announced last week that Paolucci earned a sponsorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exemption to play in the event at Torrey Pines Golf Course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a really good summer in junior golf â&#x20AC;Ś and as a local player in the area asking for a sponsors exemption couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt,â&#x20AC;? Paolucci said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ended up working out really well.â&#x20AC;? Paolucci said he and his father simply crafted an e-mail with his resume and sent it in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a great field, and I knew it was going to be a difficult field to get in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was fortunate to be selected. Obviously I want to play well, but I also want to enjoy the week since this is my first Tour event. Whatever happens, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost in a win-win situation here so just go out and enjoy it.â&#x20AC;?

Anthony Paolucci, a senior at La Jolla County Day, will tee it up Thursday in his first PGA Tour event. COURTESY

Typically, the Torrey Pines event is one of the biggest of the early season as golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite players come together for the first time. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field includes Rocco Mediate, Angel Cabrera, John Daly, Bubba Watson as well as Phil Mickelson and likely Tiger Woods, who has not officially committed, but is expected to play in the event for the first time in three years. Mickelson, of course, is one of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest players and has won

the event three times. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitting that he will play a practice round with Paolucci, an up-and-comer who just may be the next great golfer in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a blast,â&#x20AC;? Paolucci said. Though he describes his first Tour event as a win-win, there are also some high stakes if he plays well among golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best players. Last season for the Torreys, he demonstrated just how good he is at such a young age. "He hits the ball a ton, he's got a great short game, but far and a way what stands out is his emotional maturity on the golf course and how he understands the game of golf," said Bill Cahoone, the golf coach at LJCD. "He doesn't really get nervous on the golf course, you don't see him get upset. He's definitely learned those lessons along the way." One of Paolucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals is to be named to the Walker Cup, which is the amateur equivalent to the Ryder Cup. A good showing at the PGA level will go a long way in earning that honor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another tournament,â&#x20AC;? Paolucci said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I can think of it like that â&#x20AC;Ś if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a 5-footer for birdie out there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a 5-footer. There shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be any more pressure out there because it is a Tour event.â&#x20AC;?

Bishop’s nets key win over Parker WEEK IN SPORTS BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer In soccer, sometimes the better team doesn’t always win. Against Francis Parker last week, The Bishop’s School peppered the net with several shots, but the game looked as though it was meant to end in a tie. That all changes with about five minutes to play in the game as Megan Hastings knocked in the game-winning goal as the Knights sent a flurry of shots at the Lancers net. It was a key win for Bishop’s as it topped the defending Division IV CIFSD champs, 1-0. It was also the first conference game of the season for the Knights. “We deserved the goal,” Bishop’s coach Brian Quinn said. “What we have to do is play to our strengths. We felt if we kept probing, that we kept looking for the ball, getting our attacking players in the right position we would eventually score.” Though the team has won a slew of conference titles during the past five years under Quinn’s guidance, the team is trying to put last season’s CIF loss behind them, an upset loss against Christian in the semifinals. Up next for the Knights is another conference game at Horizon Christian on Friday. Knight’s water polo win tournament The Bishop’s School’s girls water polo team cruised to TYR Cup held at El Dorado High last weekend. On the tournament, the Knights went 5-0, including a 9-5 victory over Palos Verdes in the final. The Knights had several players honored, including Gabby Stone, the goalie of the tournament, and Jessica Webster, who was named the tournament MVP for scoring 26 goals in the team’s five wins. Kaylee Kastrup, Erin Pannek and Claryann Olofsson-Loo were also named to the all-tournament team. Here are last week’s prep results: Tuesday, Jan. 11 Boys basketball • Bishop’s 61, La Costa Canyon 60 Stephen Kaiser led the Knights with 20 points and seven rebounds.

Bumper To Bumper Q. Roger: I have had a Ford F-150 for about two years now and I have noticed since it was new, that it burns around a quart of oil in about 1,500 miles. I took it to the dealer when I noticed the problem and they said that it Dave Stall was normal. I find that hard to believe. I’ve been driving for over 30 years and have never experienced this kind of oil burning. I never see any smoke when I start the truck up or even while driving down the road. I have even stomped on it to see if I could see smoke and there is nothing there. I use the correct oil as recommended by the factory and I even use a factory filter and still I have to add a quart of oil every 1,500 miles? What is your take on this problem? A. Dave: Concerning your F-150, you are not going to like my answer. As you may know, I was a service manager at the dealership for 30 years and your problem — as you call it — is considered normal in the eyes of the manufacturer thanks to the ruling of the California Air Resources Board and National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration. These government agencies feel oil burning is a normal byproduct of a combustion engine. That gives the manufacturer an out and the dealership can’t do anything about it, especially under warranty. The reason you don’t see any smoke is because the catalytic converter burns off any oil before it enters the atmosphere. If you wanted to pay to have the engine overhauled the dealership would certainly do it for you, but what is the cost of a quart of oil compared to an engine overhaul? I personally would opt for the quart of oil route. It also forces you to

look under the hood, which we all neglect time to time! Q. Phil: I have an older car with a sagging headliner. It sags so bad it actually lays on my head like a scarf. I can’t take anyone with me in the car because of the embarrassment. I was told by a buddy to stick thumbtacks in the ceiling and that should hold the headliner up. Oh, one more thing — it doesn’t hang down as far if it’s cold outside. But if the temperature gets above 70 degrees, that is when it really drops. Do you have another suggestion other than thumbtacks? The car is in perfect shape other than the headliner and I want to keep it as a classic. A. Dave: You do not want to use thumbtacks. That could be dangerous, or at the very least, painful. Take the car to an upholstery shop and they can repair the headliner or replace it with a hard compound liner. Depending on the make, model and year, you can even get the original replacement so the vehicle keeps its original condition for classic status for under $200 — depending on the vehicle and whether it has a sunroof. Q. Clyde: With the smog monsters going after motorcycles next, does that mean all custom exhaust pipes will disappear? You mean we will finally have quiet Harley-Davidson’s cruising our streets in harmony? I can’t wait — don’t get me wrong, I love Harley-Davidson, I just hate the noise they make. A. Dave: Sorry to hear that — I thought they sounded pretty cool! Right now, after-market exhaust pipes on any motorcycle are illegal — even ones you buy from the dealerships. It is like any other law; it is on the books, so if a police officer wants to stop you, he has a hundred reasons to do so. Be careful!

Torreys win county showdown BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer If there was any doubt about which girls basketball team is the best in San Diego County, the debate was settled Monday afternoon on the campus of Point Loma Nazarene University. La Jolla Country Day continued its fierce out-of-conference schedule as it faced off with San Diego High in the Hall of Champions Girls’ Showcase, taking out the reigning Division I CIFSD champs, 52-42. The game lived up to the hype, at least until the Torreys (15-3 overall) fell behind in the second half. The Cavers, led by Tia Dixon, who has committed to San Diego State, took a 2826 lead with three minutes to play in the third quarter as Dixon knocked down one of her five 3-pointers on the game. Little did she know that was the spark the Torreys needed to pick up their pace. “Our kids don’t like to lose,” La Jolla Country Day coach Terri Bamford said. “They’ve been on a big stage and in tough games before. I think that they maintain their composure and they went back to the things that make us successful, which is executing, taking the right shot for our team.” From that point on, the Torreys took command of the game and never looked back. Sophomore Kelsey Plum led the team with 23 points while teammate Maya Hood added 15 points and 13 re-

Sophomore Kelsey Plum signals a play Monday against San Diego. Plum, who wears a mask after suffering a mouth injury earlier in the season, led the Torreys with 23 points. PHIL DAILEY bounds. “Country Day is good and I really believe they are going to be our toughest opponent in San Diego,” Cavers coach Lonnie Smith said. “This definitely is going to help us go back to the Division I championship game.” For the Torreys, the game showed that they are starting to get back to full strength as a team. Of the team’s three losses this season, all of them came when they were without Plum, who suffered a mouth injury last month at the Nike Tournament in Phoenix. The only visual remnant of her injury is a facemask she wears

during games. Monday she was playing her third game with it. “It’s all mental — I can still breathe,” Plum said. The mask didn’t seem to slow her down at all. Midway through the fourth quarter, Plum single handily put the game out of reach with eight straight points — two 3s and two free throws — to give the Torreys a 44-35 edge with less than 3 minutes to play. Smith said the biggest difference between his team and LJCD was that the Torreys were more disciplined. “I think we play fast, but I think in order to win games, you have to be able to execute plays and get open shots,” Bamford said of the compliment. “It takes five (players on the court) to win a ball game and when you get against the same kind of athleticisms and speed, I think you have to execute to get open looks. I think we did an excellent job in that fourth quarter and knocking the shots down.” The Torreys will continue their stiff schedule Friday night as they host Bishop’s. There are still a few non-conference games on the horizon — including a trip to Mater Dei in Santa Ana — that will test this team before the post season begins. “There is definitely room for improvement, we got to keep pushing,” Maya Hood said. “We got to keep pushing as a team, keep pushing each other individually and make each other better.”

La Jolla Music Society presents Miró Quartet with Joyce Yang

10 QUESTIONS

Dancer John Malashock is in step with progress on the arts in San Diego

BY JENNA JAY Contributor Renowned chamber ensemble the Miró Quartet will unite with pianist Joyce Yang for the season-opening performance of the La Jolla Music Society’s Revelle Chamber Music Series 8 p.m. Jan. 22 at Sherwood Auditorium in the Museum of Contemporary Art. They will highlight their signature sounds for a concert that boasts pieces played together as a quintet and with variety in solos. “They’ll be doing a performance for us they won’t be doing for anyone else in the world,” said La Jolla Music Society director Christopher Beach, “This is an audience favorite, this pairing.” Yang and the Quartet are past performers at the La Jolla Music Society’s annual SummerFest that features dozens of world-class artists. Miró Quartet performs at summer music festivals across the globe and is currently the Faculty String Quartet-in-Residence at the Sarah and Ernest Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin. The ensemble features Daniel Ching (violin), Sandy

John Malashock brings more than 35 years of experience in dance, theater and film to his current endeavors as Artistic Director of Malashock Dance & The Malashock Dance School. He has created some 60 choreographic works, dance/theater John collaborations, theater Malashock and opera productions, and award-winning dance films. John founded Malashock Dance in 1988 after a distinguished performing career with Twyla Tharp Dance in New York, where he danced from 1979 to 1984. Under his leadership, Malashock Dance has grown to become one of California’s premier dance companies and his work has now been presented throughout the United States, Central America, Japan and Central Europe. He has garnered four Emmy Awards for his own dance films (“Love & Murder,” “The Soul of Saturday Night,” “Apologies from the Lower Deck” and “The Gypsy’s Wife”), which have aired on 30 affiliate PBS stations nationwide. Malashock took a leadership role in conceiving, developing and establishing Dance Place San Diego, an 11-studio facility that is now home to Malashock Dance & The Malashock Dance School and used by most choreographers in the city. What brought you to San Diego? My family moved to La Jolla when I was 8 years old. I went to Scripps Elementary (now The Children’s School), Muirlands Jr. High, and La Jolla High. After my professional dance career in Europe and New York (with Twyla Tharp), my wife Nina and I decided to move back to San Diego (where our family is) temporarily, with our son, Duncan, until we formed more of a clear plan. Well, temporarily has turned into 27 years in a hurry ...

Old Globe offers Arthur Miller classic ‘Death of a Salesman’ BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor If Arthur Miller were alive today he would probably be amused to find two degrees of separation between his Willy Loman character and a killer of zombies. That’s because playing the lead in the Globe’s revival of “Death of a Salesman” is Jeffrey DeMunn, who stars in AMC’s hit television series “The Walking Dead.” “Death of a Salesman,” directed by Pam MacKinnon (an Obie and Lilly Award winning New York-based director) and winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, runs in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theater Jan. 22Feb. 27. DeMunn played the role of Willy last year at the Dallas Theater Center and admits he rarely repeats a production. “But in terms of the man and the world he lived at the moment, I knew there was much more I had to learn. So when the opportunity

ing salesman and how he eventually realizes The American Dream has passed him by — is still both poignant and relevant. “There’s no question that could be said about any well-drawn character in a book or play,” DeMunn said. “Willy is sewn into the fabric of all of our lives, and if that was not so, the play would not be as wonderful, artful or meaningful as it is, mostly because it’s done by Arthur Miller.” With DeMunn’s impressive resume of nearly 35 years of acting it’s apparent he could fill any shoes. Called a favorite of writer/producer/ director Frank Darabont, DeMunn appeared in “The Shawshank Redemption,” “The Green Mile,” “The Majestic,” Stephen King’s “The Mist,” the 1988 remake of “The Blob” and the “The Walking Dead.” Other vast film credits include “Burn After Reading,” “Cayman Went,” “Hollywoodland,” “The X-Files Movie,” “Phenomenon” and “Blaze.” His awardwinng TV credits are many. On stage DeMunn’s Broadway credits include “Our Town,” “The Price,” “Bent,” “Spoils of War,” “Sleight of Hand” and “K2” for which he was nominated for a Tony. He also enjoys many off-Broadway credits. The characters he picks to play are quite diverse, but DeMunn said he has no particular method for getting into character — as a salesman or even a killer. “I often do research or look at footage, but sometimes that may not be appropriate if the script is a little different,” he said. “I just try to see what this human is about, stay as nimble as I can, and always try to tell the truth. ‘The Walking Dead’ was a complete surprise. When I got a call from Frank asking me to come to Atlanta and kill zombies, I said yes without knowing anything about it.”

It’s 20 years of Italian fare at this La Jolla Shores gem BY WILL PARSON Contributor

t’s been 20 years since Piatti first started serving its sought-after pasta, but only 19 since Bert and Gloria Levi shared their first date on this Italian ristorante’s patio. The couple lives just down the street in La Jolla, and now that dining is a family affair for the Levis (their oldest is 13), Piatti is still a favorite. It seems that for everything from first dates to 50th anniversaries Piatti can offer something special with a consistency that turns first visitors into regulars. Despite the elegant dining at Piatti, there is not a hint of pretension among the staff or clientele. On a quiet afternoon you can even park your stroller at your table and the waiter will deftly maneuver around it to pour you a glass of fine wine. If you find yourself waiting for additional guests in your party, Piatti can supply your children with some crayons and a paper scene to fill in with color. A full spectrum is welcome at Piatti. You can stroll off the Each week you’ll find a beach with sand recipe from the featured still clinging to restaurant online at your flip-flops, lajollalight.com, click impress a date, or ‘On The Menu.’ mark a special occasion. Large ■ This week: windows let a lot Piatti’s Basil Ricotta Ravioli of light in during with Lemon Cream Sauce the day, but you and Citrus Gremolata can choose the patio if you need an extra dose of sunshine. Most tables inside are either close enough to one the windows or near the open kitchen in the center of the restaurant. It is safe to say anything with pasta will be delicious, though the lemon ravioli and pappardelle are especially sought-after. Also of note is that Piatti offers a variety of gluten-free pasta dishes. This being La Jolla, there is, of course, a variety of seafood on the menu to take advantage of local ingredients, such as Carlsbad mussels. The menu is also seasonal, so if you’ve been to Piatti once already, you might find something new on a return visit. As for Gloria Levi, one favorite among several is the salmon salad. “It’s like home-style but just really delicious,” Levi said. “The kids enjoy it and the adults enjoy it and you can both come and eat and nobody will argue that they don’t want to come to the restaurant.”

New name, big plans for Women’s History Museum in 2011 BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor A local women’s museum has started the new year with the announcement of some significant changes, including a different name and a possible relocation. The Women’s History Museum and Educational Center, located in the Golden Hill area of San Diego, will now be known as The Women’s Museum of California. “As one of only five women’s history museums in the country, we felt it was fitting to claim the right to be the Women’s Museum of California,” said director Ashley Gardner in a news release. “Our tag line ‘preserving the past, inspiring the future’ encompasses our long-term mission to educate current and future generations about the experiences and contributions of women.” Gardner said in an interview that the museum has mainly had a local focus, with the Hall of Fame “very local.” “The name change gives

us an opportunity to give more widespread recognition,” she said. For example, Gardner said, women’s suffrage was a national movement, with California women receiving the right to vote in 1911. Nationwide, women were enfranchised with the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment, which eliminated voter discrimination by gender. The museum is plan-

ning a centennial exhibit this year to recognize the landmark decision by the Golden State. Yet despite a broader focus, the museum will always maintain a local theme, Gardner said. Along with the name change and a new logo, the museum has made a letter of intent to move to NTC Promenade at the former Naval Training Center in Point Loma. The museum cited increased activity, interest and donations as the reason for the possible move in a news release. “There are art galleries, museums, shops ... good parking and lovely restaurants,” Gardner said in the interview. “It’s becoming more of a destination.” She said the museum’s moving date is undecided at this time, due to financial factors and the need to sign a lease. But Gardner added that it’s possible the relocation could occur by the end of 2011. The museum has been in the Art Union Building at

Founded in 1983 by Mary B. Maschal as the Women’s History Reclamation Project, it has undergone a couple of name and location changes over the years. It has a variety of changing exhibits and displays on women’s history, provides speakers for the community, sponsors a monthly membership lecture series, and maintains a library and research archive. Several major events have been planned for 2011. During February, which is Black History Month, the museum will hold an exhibition titled “Celebrating

Giants: The Truth of Sojourner,” that focuses on the life and work of Sojourner Truth and the African-American Women’s Suffrage Movement. Truth was perhaps best known for a speech given at the Ohio Woman’s Rights Convention in Akron in 1854 in which she used the phrase, “Ain’t I a woman?” The multilayered, multiartist exhibition opens from 6 to 9 p.m. Feb. 4. In March, which is Women’s History Month, the museum will sponsor the 10th annual San Diego County Women’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This year’s inductees are Margaret “Midge” Costanza, the first woman to be appointed as assistant to the president of the U.S. (Jimmy Carter); Judy Forman, owner and operator of Big Kitchen Café; Rita Sanchez, professor emeritus at San Diego Mesa College; Clara Harris, who speaks out against discrimination in educational institutions; and La Jolla resident Martha W. Longenecker, founder of the San Diego Mingei International Museum. There will also be plenty to do this summer. The museum’s wine, cheese and chocolate festival is slated for June. And in August, there will be a suffrage parade and ball.

UC SAN DIEGO PRESENTS

REVELLE FORUM

at The Neurosciences Institute

“Those who truly knew Ronald Reagan best still grapple with the enduring mystery of his inner character.”

Reagan

Ron Reagan

Wednesday, January 26, 2011 > 7:00–8:30 p.m.

To mark the occasion of his father’s 100th birthday, Ron Reagan has written an intimate look at his father’s life told from the perspective of someone who knew him better than any friend or colleague. Ron observed the very qualities that made the future president a powerful leader. Yet for all of their shared experiences, there was much that Ron never knew about his father’s past, and he sets out to understand this beloved, if often enigmatic, figure. Reagan will be interviewed by Phyllis Pfeiffer, Publisher, La Jolla Light, Del Mar Times, Solana Beach Sun, Rancho Santa Fe Review, and the Carmel Valley News. Takes place at The Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Dr., La Jolla. Doors open at 6:30. Registration fee is $25; please refer to section ID 080748.

FROM STARS, B1 Susan Farrell is looking for donations from people who understand the value of a performing arts presence in schools and who have not participated in the past. “Running an ad in the Stars slickly produced printed program could be someone who has a new business or someone with a long-established business that may not be getting the attention it merits,” she said. “This program is very targeted marketing — it goes directly to parents, families and friends of students, and is perfect to

Students perform in a past ‘Stars in Our Eyes’ talent show from which proceeds go to fund scholarships and the arts curriculum at four La Jolla schools. PHOTOS BY LAZAR C. HAREL help underscore that sponsors are players in the community — people who are trying to help make things better.

“Additionally, it’s a great opportunity for Rotary members to share their good wishes, perhaps featur-

CELEBRATING FIVE YEARS OF COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CARE AT MOORES CANCER CENTER

In 2003, Rotarians Zeke Knight, a former Bishop’s School development director, along with La Jolla investor and club past president Dick Woltman, created “Stars in Our Eyes” to supplement the performing arts programs at the four La Jolla schools whose departments were then taking hits by the slashing of school district budgets, and continues today with more cuts being considered by the district. For the past five years, “Stars in Our Eyes” has been chaired by Rotary Club members Patricia Lynch and Russell King. Their work on the show starts in September. In November, the producers begin auditions. The program is finalized in late December and, this year, produced in late January. Drama and art teachers from the schools, realizing the importance of this oneof-a-kind fundraiser, devote many hours of time and support preparing their students and helping organizers coordinate the show. Students serve as the technical crew working under the direction of La Jolla High School drama teacher Ann Boutelle. It was decided at the beginning of the Stars production process that a poster art competition between participating schools’ art departments would be launched with the vote-getting winner’s art department awarded a cash prize and the selected piece used as the cover of the performance program. This year’s $1,000 winner

120 minutes of virtuoso music, comedy in ‘2 Pianos 4 Hands’ Anyone who thinks it peculiar to mix hilarious comedy with serious concert piano classics (we’re Diana talking Bach’s Concerto Saenger in D minor and Beethoven’s Sinatina No. 6 in F Major) will be surprised and delighted to see “2 Pianos 4 Hands,” now through Feb. 13 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre. I’ve rarely been to a performance where there was so much continuous applause. The play, created by Canadians Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt in 1996, has been performed in more than 150 countries and earned numerous theatrical awards. “2 Pianos 4 Hands” centers on two gifted musicians played by Mark Anders (Ted) and Carl Danielsen (Mark) who exhibit incredible talent performing dozens of classical and popular tunes throughout the show on two baby grand pianos sitting center stage. The plot concerns the thorny path from childhood piano student to teenager at the crossroads of college or concert circuit stardom. Lighting design by Don Darnutzer illuminates the transitions of the actors’ as they move through their ages, stages, and crazes. Scanning the resumes of Anders (“Souvenir,” “The Woman in Black”) and Danielsen (“King Lear,” “Singin’ In The Rain”) reveals the two performers are quite diverse, but their talents merge in their proficiency at the piano. Just watch their fingers fly! Aided by Bruce Sevy’s intuitive direction,

■ Where: North Coast Repertory Theatre,987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach ■ Tickets: $30-$47 ■ Contact: (858) 481-1055 ■ Website: northcoastrep.org the timing in this show is incredible. Ted and Mark intertwine their roles as teacher to student, father to son, and young players in competition. Their ability to shift their age through facial expressions, voice tone, but especially piano skills, is simply wonderful — along with their knack for delivering zingers. Whether it’s learning to play the piano or kicking a soccer ball or swimming toward an Olympic dream, the audience will relate to their own early days of learning something new and the long hours of practice required to “get good.” As “2 Pianos 4 Hands” ultimately communicates, there also comes a time when a professional must ask himself if this is what he or she really wants in life, or is the dream bigger than the reality? This highly musical and comical show with its thought-provoking resolution provides a perfect night at the theater. Don’t miss it.

It’s believed he might have done so to keep linen makers in business during a slow time of year.

It wasn’t until the late 1950s that prints, as well as colored sheets, were also included in January white sales. White sales also include blankets, bedspreads, sheets, towels and washcloths, kitchen towels, etc.

Three artists bring you ‘outside the box’ with new show BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO Lifestyles Editor The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego will open three solo-show exhibitions at its downtown Jacobs Building location on Sunday, Jan. 23: Jennifer Steinkamp’s “Madame Curie,” Raul Cordero’s “Hendrickje,” and Joan Jonas’ “The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things.” Speaking about the impact of the works, associate curator Lucia Jennifer Sandroman Steinkamp remarked, “Of course art gives us many reactions: joy, wonder, sadness, fear … but I hope visitors to this show will feel awestruck. The works are remarkable moments in the careers of these three artists.” Here is an overview of the show: ■ “Madame Curie,” on view Jan. 23-June 19, features a MCASD-commis-

Jennifer Steinkamp’s digital video animation, ‘Madame Curie,’ features a field of moving flowers and trees. COURTESY sioned digital video animation by L.A.-based artist Jennifer Steinkamp. Flowers rendered realistically for this work include marsh marigolds, May flower, chestnut blooms, and hop plants, among many others drawn from a list of some 40 plants mentioned in Marie Curie’s biography. Curie (1867–1934) received two Nobel Prizes for creating the theory of radioactivity, and for discovering radium and polonium. She loved flowers and was an avid gardener. This video commission is inspired by Steinkamp’s research into atomic energy, atomic explosions, and the effects of these forces on nature.

The work engages the architecture of the MCASD space and requires seven synchronized projections onto three walls of the 4,500-square-foot gallery. Steinkamp is one of the most accomplished timebased, digital video artists working today. The exhibit is made possible through a gift from Joan and Irwin Jacobs. ■ “Hendrickje,” Jan. 23April 17, Cuban-born Raul Cordero presents a series of nine related oil-on-canvas paintings that together fall under the title “Hendrickje.” Rembrandt van Rijn’s 1654 painting portrait of his lover and common-law wife, “A

Woman Bathing in a Stream” (Hendrickje Stoffels), is taken as the structural framework for the series. Each canvas is a section of Hendrickje’s likeness that is layered with fragmented images taken from film, high fashion, photography, avant-garde art, and the artist’s own imaginings, among other sources. ■ “Joan Jonas: The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things,” Jan 23May 1, presents a complex five-channel video installation, an artistic consideration of the Hopi snake dance, a ritual that strongly affected Jonas during visits to Arizona in the 1960s.

Since the 1970s, she has worked between media, freely incorporating video, movement, music, sculpture, and the spoken word into open-ended narratives. Woven through the installation are references to the Southwest taken from German art historian Aby Warburg’s (1866-1929) 19th century recollections to the commercial present. Jonas has commented that she is interested in “how stories are retold in contemporary terms and how stories come down to us in fragmented forms. The Southwest is a perfect example of different cultures layered on top of each other and next to each other.”

IN BRIEF Warwick’s ‘books’ local author

The book “My Father at 100” by Ron Reagan (right) will be released on Jan. 18 from Viking Press. COURTESY

Ron Reagan marks father’s 100th birthdate with book, discussion in La Jolla Ron Reagan will discuss his new memoir, “My Father at 100,” as a guest of UCSD’s Revelle Forum, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 26 at The Neurosciences Institute, 1640 John J. Hopkins Drive. Reagan will be interviewed by Phyllis Pfeiffer, publisher of the La Jolla Light. The 100th anniversary of the birth of Ronald Reagan is Feb. 6, 2011. The 40th President of the United States (1981–1989) and 33rd Governor of California (1967–1975) died after a long bout with Alzheimer’s disease on June 5, 2004. In an advance for the book, Ron explains that as

he grew up, he observed in his dad the very qualities that made the future president a powerful leader. Yet for all of their shared experiences, there was much he never knew about his father’s past. In “My Father at 100,” he sets out to understand this beloved, if often enigmatic, figure. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and advance registration is advised through UCSD Extension at (858) 882-8000, or online at revelleforum.ucsd.edu. Admission is $25. Parking is free.

Doctor to discuss Alzheimer’s findings The sad reality of Alzheimer’s disease research is that scientists are making more progress in diagnosis than treatment according to Dr. Michael Rafii, co-director of the Memory Disorders Clinic at UCSD Perlman Ambulatory Care Center in La Jolla and assistant professor of neurosciences at the University of California. He discussed the issue in a December New York Times article, “Tests detect Alzheimer’s risks, but should patients be told?” He will talk more about his research during a free lecture at noon, Wednesday, Jan. 26 at Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church, 2128 Chatsworth Blvd, San Diego. Guests are welcome to bring their lunches. Dr. Rafii will present a current understanding of the disease that impacts 5.3 million Americans with an associated annual cost of $172 billion. He will also discuss what research reveals about how to maintain a healthy brain. Most would agree that the key to successful aging is living a healthful, commonsense lifestyle, but medical experts are discovering many other factors that are less obvious. Dr. Rafii is also associate medical director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Co-

operative Study and a staff neurologist at the Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. He received his M.D. and Ph.D from Brown University and conducted neurogenetics research at Harvard Medical School. He went on to complete his neurology residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and a fellowship in dementia and cognitive disorders at the UCSD.

Work of sculptor Alison Saar heralds her LUX residency Lux Art Institute welcomes Los Angeles-based sculptor Alison Saar as the first artist-in-residence of 2011. Saarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multi-media sculptures and paper works are on view now through March 16, with her residency set for Feb. 3 to March 5. While she is in-studio carving a large-scale wooden figure clad in materials such as copper and tin, visitors can see art happen. Saarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrative, often life-sized works are emotional explorations of her personal and cultural identity. Sensual and buoyant with story, her carved figures and installations also address humanity in the broadest sense by delving into universal themes of family, fertility, life cycles, politics, human vulnerability and hope. Calling on a wide variety of sources â&#x20AC;&#x201D; African and Haitian folklore, contemporary African-American culture, Catholicism, mythology, voodoo, and the practices of â&#x20AC;&#x153;outsiderâ&#x20AC;? artists â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Saar constructs a visual language that is simultaneously

The fastest way to sell your home is the local newspaper... NOT the Internet, Facts and research says Home-Selling the La Jolla Light: 78% of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;home buyer poolâ&#x20AC;? is local and successful agents use papers to attract the best leadsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; while the Internet is best used in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;supportâ&#x20AC;? role The biggest problem with listing your home on the internet is this...the internet is huge! It would take hours to find all the available listings of homes for sale in this townâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if you could even find them all...which you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. This is no doubt why Borrell Associates, the nationally known research firm reports that 66% of Americans rely on their local newspaper to buy and sell their homes, compared with only 20% using the internet. The biggest reason that a paper like the La Jolla Light is such a powerful lead generating tool for agents, is the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term credibility with readers. When your home is listed or shown in this paper, it benefits from the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thorough reporting and â&#x20AC;&#x153;believabilityâ&#x20AC;?.

â&#x153;&#x201D; 70% - 80% of home-buyers, buy locally. â&#x153;&#x201D; The La Jolla Light is delivered by the Postal Service ... to each residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. â&#x153;&#x201D; Those most likely to purchase your home read The Light. â&#x153;&#x201D; Each week The Light features HOMES SOLD in 92037 and their actual price. â&#x153;&#x201D; The Light and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister publications, reaches 9 of the 10 wealthiest zip codes in San Diego. â&#x153;&#x201D; These publications reach 200,000 â&#x20AC;&#x153;qualifiedâ&#x20AC;? home buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;every week. â&#x153;&#x201D; Serious home buyers are reading these publications to find â&#x20AC;&#x153;prestigiousâ&#x20AC;? homes & estates, like yours. â&#x153;&#x201D; The top agents in La Jolla advertise in The Light, because it sells homes.

SEE PREMIERE, B23

FROM QUESTIONS, B1 be back out West.â&#x20AC;? Something about the spaciousness and variety resonates with me. I have often said to Nina that if I were blindfolded and dropped in La Jolla from anywhere in the world, I would recognize it from its unique air and feel. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Easy answer. Luce Auditorium! Malashock Dance is now located at Liberty Station (Point Loma) in Dance Place San Diego, a facility I helped conceive. Right next door to the dance building is an auditorium with beautiful designs to be renovated into three performance spaces for dance and film. It would become our home theater, house numerous film festivals, and bring Liberty Station to life as a true destination for the arts. Who or what inspires you? People doing extraordinary things inspire me. I cry when I see athletes do things that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem humanly possible. Writers who make their words dance thrill me. Dancers who blend their technical control with emotional abandon fascinate me. Artists who tap into something that is so personal that it becomes universal is where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at for me.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Marc Chagall (because I am doing a project about him), Stephen Sondheim (because not many people actually change an art form), John Irving (because he tells stories like no one else), Danny Kaye (who would be the life of the party), The Dalai Lama (to bring some humility and wisdom), Tina Fey (just for fun), and my dad, Irv, who passed away recently. Nina and I get to be there, too, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we?

What do you like to do for fun? Well, as unlikely as it sounds for a dancer, I love to ski. I like doing projects around our house and garden. I love traveling to new places and, of course, eating in great restaurants. Hearing wonderful music and seeing great theater are almost as much fun as making new dances.

What you are reading? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been a John Irving fan, but in the last couple of years, I have fallen in love with Michael Chabonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clayâ&#x20AC;? was a revelation for me. Its blend of intelligence, humor, literary fireworks, and storytelling skill made it magical. Right now, I am reading his book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manhood for Amateurs.â&#x20AC;?

Please describe your greatest accomplishment. My colleagues around the country look at the fact that I have kept a dance company going in San Diego for 24 years and marvel at that accomplishment. I think making a career in the arts in this country while being a family man is an accomplishment in itself. Besides that, having conceived Dance Place San Diego and helping make it a reality is the kind of big dreaming that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to do very often. It feels like a great accomplishment and benefit to our arts community.

What is your most-prized possession? Another easy answer. Our home. We are fortunate enough to live in a 1929 Tudor-style home on a half-acre canyon lot in the heart of South Mission Hills. The setting and the space give us a feeling of privacy and sanctuary while being right in the middle of the city. We moved there eight years ago and it has completely altered the way I feel about San Diego.

What is your motto or philosophy of life? Well, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about a life philosophy, but with my organization Malashock Dance, I like to borrow an approach from Robin Hood (no, not stealing from the rich and giving to the dancers). For anyone to join his merry band, they had to be better at something than he was. I love having talented people around me to work with. And I do.
