Cove comes closer to cleansing
Federal panel: Climate change now affects all Americans
n Governor responds to community pleas; city plans to vacuum offending bird waste By Pat Sherman with Ashley Mackin Following a year of inaction by local, state and federal officials, the City of San Diego has finally devised a plan to clean odoriferous bird waste off the cliffs at the La Jolla Cove: vacuum it. According to an e-mail from District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office sources forwarded to the Light, the city plans to “regularly vacuum up the waste that accumulates in the pools on the rocks (which biologists have determined to be the source of the worst odors) and to perform bird deterrence measures.” The City’s Park and Recreation Department is in the process of securing approval from two federal agencies, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to carry out the plan. The California Coastal Commission (CCC) and San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) indicated to city officials that they could support such an approach, as it doesn’t involve the discharge of pollutants into the ocean or any new bluff development, the e-mail states. The La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) and La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) both began the year reviving discussion of the unsavory See Cove Stench, A6

a Jolla Country Day Upper School government students spent several days watching the U.S. government operating in all its ceremonial glory over the Inauguration weekend. The 45 students arrived at 6 a.m. Saturday morning and visited Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, the White House, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Jefferson Memorial, and Smithsonian Erik Rundlett, Stephen Clark and Alana Pokros Museums. The students attended the Inauguration on Monday, Jan. 21 and were scheduled to visit with Congressional members from San Diego before returning to school.
By Lynne Friedmann A federal advisory panel has issued a draft report on the impacts of global climate change across the United States, and the findings are grim: Certain types of weather events are more frequent and/or intense, including heat waves, heavy downpours, and, in some regions, floods and droughts. Sea level is rising, oceans are becoming more acidic, and glaciers and arctic sea ice are melting. The Third National Climate Assessment (NCA) Report involved 240 authors who collected, integrated, and assessed observations, research, and economic data from around the country that demonstrate climate change effects and what they mean for peoples’ lives, livelihoods and future. Released on Jan. 11, the 1,100-page draft includes analyses of impacts on SEE CLIMATE CHANGE, A8
Officials say locked trash bins will deter the homeless By Pat Sherman In response to complaints about a seeming increase in the homeless population within the Village of La Jolla, the La Jolla Light received a tip from a former employee of Jonathan’s Market that the company was not following its policy of keeping its trash bins locked when not in use. The employee said the company had ramped up its efforts to secure the dumpsters in light of the tragic death of community

Dumpsters behind Jonathan’s market on Fay Avenue in La Jolla were left unlocked throughout much of December. FROM TRASH BINS, A1 member Alfonso de Bourbon, who died one year ago while rifling through the receptacles behind Jonathan’s market. Bourbon, 83, was pinned between the loading dock and a dumpster by a tractortrailer driver who was unaware of his presence. For a one-week period in December, the Light observed that Jonathan’s dumpsters were left open and unlocked throughout the day. Following the Light’s inquiry, the bins have since been kept locked. The company’s loss
prevention manager, Mike Hiden, initially questioned whether the locks had been tampered with. “I wasn’t aware that they weren’t locking them if they weren’t, but I also know that the transients break into the dumpsters,” he said. Hiden confirmed that the bins are supposed to be locked when not in use. “I checked over at the store and they understand they’re supposed to be keeping them closed,” he said. “It is our policy to lock those dumpsters.” Jonathan’s is adjacent a recycling center patronized by homeless people, as well as a Vons supermarket,

list of homeless prevention tips issued by the city suggests businesses keep dumpsters locked when not being filled or emptied. La Jolla Village Merchants Association Board President Phil Coller said the issue has been broached at association
meetings, and deemed a “safety issue.” “People are not supposed to be able to climb in and (have) the lid close on them and get trapped,” Coller said. “We want all our merchants to lock their dumpsters at all times.” Bob McElroy, president of San Diego-based Alpha Project, which provides outreach and services for the homeless, said open dumpsters are a magnet for transients, and advises business owners to keep them closed and locked when unattended. McElroy said the vast majority of services for homeless people are located
in downtown San Diego, and that “urban campers” are only in La Jolla because they have an incentive to be there, such as residents giving them money or food, and access to dumpsters, which he said homeless people typically access for recyclables to buy alcohol or drugs. “There are enough churches and other places that provide meals that I don’t think they’re looking for food,” McElroy said. “Somebody’s taking care of them; somebody’s enabling them to be there … and as long as somebody’s enabling them … they’re going to be there.”

Research projects selected for upcoming space mission
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
T
wo Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SanfordBurnham) research projects will fly as payloads to the International Space Station in late 2013. In one experiment, spacetravel effects on astronaut cardiovascular systems will be studied using fruit flies as a model. These organisms are ideal for modeling human heart health: They are small, easy to care for, and their genetics are well understood. In addition, flies and humans share many of the same genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in heart development and function. Spaceflight is wellknown to have a detrimental effect on the cardiovascular system. An increased understanding of this space effect could lead to preventive or treatment countermeasures. The other experiment will measure fluorescence as an indication of changes in the speed of molecular rotation as an antibody binds to a vitamin. This is important, because medicines may work differently in outer space without gravity or under significantly reduced gravity.
The project will also utilize — for the first time in space — plate reader technology that is widely used on Earth in the drug discovery process to identify promising compounds as candidates for new treatments for disease. The goal of these initial experiments is to open the door for future advanced biology and pharmacology research in microgravity. More information at http://bit.ly/ShjHzh Chinese medicine yields secrets The inner workings of Chang Shan — a Chinese herbal medicine used for thousands of years to treat fevers associated with malaria — have been revealed by researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). Scientists have known that a compound derived from the active ingredient in Chang Shan suppresses parts of the immune system, but until now nobody knew exactly how. A high-resolution image shows in atomic detail a two-headed structure that, like a wrench, jams the “gears” of a molecular machine, which carries out a crucial biological process that allows organisms to synthesize proteins necessary to sustain life. It is thought that Chang Shan probably mitigates malarial fevers by interfering with this same process in malaria parasites, killing them in an infected person’s bloodstream. The findings are described in the journal Nature. News
release at http://bit.ly/12zfrR1 Molecules in the ear convert sound into brain signals Finding the genetic machinery in the inner ear that converts sound waves into electrical impulses that the brain can decipher has been a lofty goal for scientists who study the genetics of hearing and deafness. Researchers at TSRI report identification of a critical component of this ear-tobrain conversion — a protein called TMHS — that appears to be the direct link between the mechanism in the inner ear that converts mechanical sound waves into electrical impulses transmitted to the nervous system. To date, dozens of genes have been identified and linked to hearing loss, but what has been lacking is a complete mechanistic picture to account for the various forms of hearing loss. With the discovery of TMHS, the picture is becoming clearer. In addition, the work also suggests a new approach to restoring hearing loss. When TMHS is missing in mice, signals are not sent to their brains and the animals cannot perceive sound. In the laboratory, scientists were able to place functional TMHS into the sensory cells for sound perception of newborn deaf mice thus restoring function. The study is described in the journal Cell.

FROM Cove Stench, A1 aroma wafting from La Jolla Cove. During the groups’ January meetings it was announced that the office of Gov. Jerry Brown sent identical letters to Councilmember Lightner and County Supervisor Ron Roberts. The letters were in response to the officials’ pleas for help cutting through bureaucratic red tape that is delaying a solution to the stench coming from bird and marine mammal excrement on the rocks at the Cove. The letter, dated Dec. 9, states that the governor’s office has contacted the Coastal Commission, which has been examining “environmentally responsible” solutions to eliminate the smell, “while keeping with regulatory requirements and remaining sensitive to the concerns of La Jolla citizens.” “The Coastal Commission has informed us that they will be in touch with applicable parties in San Diego to resolve the problem in a timely and effective manner,” the letter states. Though the letter is not a directive, noted LJTC President Cindy Greatrex, “it is Gov. Brown’s assurance that they are

aware of the problem, aware that La Jollans are suffering as a result — particularly our merchants and our tourists,” she said. A host of state and federal environmental laws that prevent human-induced runoff from entering the ocean have been the primary roadblock to managing the stench. Questioned during the LJTC meeting as to whether radio host Mike Slater or his employer will be fined for sweeping the cormorant offal into the ocean during December’s rains, and whether community members should also try this, Councilmember Lightner cautioned others not to attempt a similar stunt (which 77 percent of respondents in a recent La 1150 Silverado St., site of the La Jolla Town Council’s new office space. Pat Sherman Jolla Light readers’ poll said they support). Lightner’s reps later told people walk down onto the rocks at their own risk (which the Light the city is not pursuing fines against Slater, and would presumably cause the birds to abandon their roost) is that any penalties would be imposed by the San Diego also being discussed, he said.

homes sold for approximately 9 percent more than comparable non-green certified homes. Researchers analyzed 1.6 million homes sales from 2007 to 2012 to determine if “green” really helped net more at the time of resale. The researchers coined the term Prius Effect, since the California cities that had the highest sales prices of green homes also were in places that had the highest sales of hybrid vehicles. Countering these studies, however, a recent study by Lifestory Research found high interest in green items by home buyers but a reluctance of some to spend extra money on these features. Industry insiders say that the Prius Effect and eco-conscious movement may not sway everyone to go green, but the potential to save money on utility bills might be a more powerful motivator. It might cost more upfront to buy a green home, but each month you might pay less to the utility companies. There could even be more cost savings when you figure you might be able to deduct the mortgage interest on the higher loan amount for the green house but you can’t deduct higher utility costs each month. Some appraisers actually have a spot on their forms to list green features when valuing a home. We are sure to see more and more about green homes.....The Prius Effect!

• Lightner noted she is now chairing the city council’s new Rules and Economic Development Committee, and serving on the council’s new Infrastructure Committee. “We will be seeking a lot of input from the communities with respect to what you see as needs within the community for infrastructure,” she said. “I know the La Jolla community has already done quite a bit of that … and we have a list (of priorities) from the (La Jolla Community Planning Association) — but they are not the be-all-and-end-all in La Jolla, so I want you to be thinking about some of the needs here in the Village area — the parks especially.” • Commission vacancies: Lightner said there are also vacancies on some of the city’s more than 45 boards and commissions, which she said are being reconfigured, including the La Jolla Shores Planned District Advisory Board, the Historical Resources Board, and the Audit Committee (the latter of which has “very specific requirements.”)

For more information, call her office at (619) 236-6611 or e-mail edemorest@sandiego.gov • Budget deficit: Lightner said that while former Mayor Jerry Sanders’ five-year outlook showed no budget deficit, the city’s independent budget analyst came to a different conclusion. “We will be getting those numbers soon,” Lightner said. “I would believe the independent budget analyst because the mayor did leave a few things out of his fiveyear outlook ... It could be about a $30 million (deficit).” n Town Council Elections Trustee elections for the LJTC will be in March.

Two out of three youth exiting the foster care system will become homeless, imprisoned, trafficked or dead within one year, Harris Edstrom said. “That is an appalling statistic to all of us in the Junior League, as I’m sure it is to all of you,” she said. “We feel really strongly that this is an area where we can make some marked difference.” To get involved in the Junior League or purchase tickets to the food and wine festival, visit jlsd.org or e-mail foodandwine@ljsd.org

FROM CLIMATE CHANGE, A1 seven selected sectors: human health, water, energy, transportation, agriculture, forests and ecosystems, and biodiversity. The following week, nearly 80 climate experts and users of climate information from academia; local, state, tribal, and federal governments; nonprofit organizations; businesses; and industry met in La Jolla for an overview of the report findings, highlights of local and regional efforts to respond to climate change impact in the six-state Southwest region, and discussion of community participation in the long-term NCA process. The Jan. 18 meeting, at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, was the first of eight such “town hall” meetings on the NCA Report to be held across the country. Following a public-comment period and extensive review by the National Academies of Sciences, the draft report will be revised and finalized. The goal of the report is to provide national indicators of climate change and the capacity to respond to them. Previous NCA Reports were issued in 2000 and 2009. “California policies have been shaped by information in these assessments,” said Louise W. Bedsworth, senior researcher in the Governor’s Office of Planning and

A panel of climate experts answers questions from government representatives, nonprofit organizations, business and industry leaders at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club on Jan. 18. Lynne Friedmann
Research, who spoke at the La Jolla town hall meeting. It’s important to keep in mind that climate-change events don’t occur in isolation and are often linked with cascading impacts. For example, a heat wave creates demand for more air conditioning, which can lead to a power outage that, in turn, creates a waterdelivery problem when there’s no electricity to operate the pumps. In terms of agriculture, the impact of increased temperatures is evident in maps showing shifts in “plant hardiness zones” — the USDA standard by which growers
determine which crops are most likely to thrive in a location. “How we can grow, what we can grow, and when we can grow is changing in our country” said James Buizer, University of Arizona professor and Executive Secretariat of the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Board. A sobering thought when you consider that 95 percent of many crops important to the nation are only grown in California. The report notes that most climate change adaptation efforts to date have occurred at local and regional levels. Primary mechanisms that
local governments are using to prepare for climate change include: land-use planning; provisions to protect infrastructure and ecosystems; regulations related to the design and construction of buildings, roads, and bridges; and emergency preparation, response and recovery. “And California is leading the nation, from the local up to the state level, in planning for adaptation,” said Rebecca Smyth, division chief of Regional Coastal Services for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Since 2006, The San Diego Foundation has taken a leadership role
in preparing the San Diego region for the impacts of climate change. “Years ago when asked ‘What are you doing about climate change?’” said Emily Young, senior director of Environment, Analysis and Strategy at the foundation, “my answer was ‘That’s a global issue.’” Not anymore. The foundation has prepared a Regional Focus 2050 Study, the first comprehensive regional assessment of climate change impacts to San Diego County (http://bit.ly/Xuqkx2) as well as invested $1.5 million to help reduce the region’s polluting emissions and the harmful effects of climate change, and “on building a strong economy and healthy environment that expands business opportunities while protecting the San Diego region’s spectacular natural beauty.” The three-month public comment period on the draft NCA Report ends April 12, 2013. All comments must be submitted online via the “review and comment” section at ncadac.globalchange.gov. “We expect tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of comments,” said James Buizer, University of Arizona professor and Executive Secretariat of the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Board. “Every comment submitted will be addressed.”

City tells Shores Association lifeguard tower is almost finished By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) held its monthly meeting Jan. 9 to discuss upcoming board elections, as well as changing its meeting time, its new divers committee, the lifeguard tower and more. District 1 announcements Erin Demorest, representative for District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner, reported that there will be several openings on city boards and commissions at the end of January, including the La Jolla Shores Planned District Advisory Board (LJSPDAB). For the LJSPDAB, which is different from the Shores Permit Review Committee, members are appointed through the mayor’s office. The only requirement is that members live within the boundaries of the Shores Planned District. Those with questions may contact Lightner’s office at (619) 236-6611 or e-mail sherrilightner@sandiego.gov • Demorest said the Shores lifeguard tower, located near the intersection of Camino Del Oro and Calle Frescota, is in “the home stretch.” The contractor is changing the glass so lifeguards can see the boardwalk better. “As soon as (the glass) is finished, that’s really the last thing that needs to be done with the tower,” she said. • Demorest also updated the board on the request for outdoor showers at the beach near La Jolla Shores. She said Lightner’s office is working with city park planners, who said it might be possible to install the showers, but that would require an

■ On the Web: ljsa.org investigation of the sewer system where the showers would drain. Sand traps would also need to be installed to determine if a cover to the showers would be needed. Lightner’s office is looking into the various requirements and cost, with more information to come. Board elections Applications are due Feb. 13 for at least four, two-year-term seats on the La Jolla Shores Association Board. Applicants must be a business owner or resident within the perimeters of the Shores. Coco Tihanyi, Audrey Keane, Terry WinnKraszewski and Ruth Padgett are terming out, and Dolores Donovan and Mary Coakley-Munk must re-run to keep their positions. The remaining board members’ terms have not ended. The election committee — Janie Emerson, Brandon Price and Winn-Kraszewski — will prepare a list of candidates for the ballot. The election is in March. Those interested in joining the board may e-mail ljsa.org@gmail.com
The lifeguard tower at La Jolla Shores nears completion. Temporary meeting time It was decided that the LJSA will move its meeting time to 6:30 p.m. in the winter months and back to 7 p.m. in March when Daylight Saving Time returns. The LJSA meets on the second Wednesday of the month at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, building T-29, located at 8840 Biological Grade. Divers committee The Unregulated Commercial Use Committee of Divers, established with the hope of creating a fair and consistent permit procedure, has officially formed and drafted a code of conduct. “(We) appreciate the proactive steps you’ve taken to put that together,” Keane told the members.
Ashley Mackin
Coakley-Munk said the crux of the issue the committee hopes to resolve is, “How do you balance the already regulated commercial activities with the unregulated? And what do you do that’s most beneficial to the businesses as well as the park and the community?” The committee consists of Scott Anderson, president San Diego Council of Divers; Jeff Nadler, industry and governmental relations executive, Professional Association of Diving Intructors Americas; Michael Timm of Dive California, representing dive shop owners; Alan Blake of Al’s Diving, representing Independent Dive Instructors; and Robert Brauer of San Diego Divers as an alternate. Representing LJSA on the committee is Coco Tihanyi, Mary Coakley-Munk, Brandon Price and Janie Emerson.

City promises to begin building new lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool in June By Pat Sherman The long-stalled replacement of the lifeguard tower at La Jolla Children’s Pool will begin this year, said a representative from the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner. Though the city said last year that demolition of the lifeguard tower — condemned and rendered unusable five years ago — was scheduled to begin last fall, further delays in obtaining permits and approval from the city and other regulatory agencies continued to push construction behind schedule. The city now says demolition on the old tower is scheduled to begin sometime in June, after the seal’s pupping season — a projection that has left San Diego Lifeguards Union spokesperson Ed Harris “cautiously optimistic.” “But I’m not that optimistic,” Harris confided. “Every day people walk by and ask, ‘When is this going to be done?’ We’ve been told every year (it will be done) next year. It’s pretty clear that there wasn’t a desire in the last administration to get it done. … They got Petco Park done in a shorter period of time.” The city is currently awaiting approval of an Incidental Marine Mammal Harassment Permit from
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the application for which was submitted Dec. 3. The permit, which is required in case construction causes an unintended noise disturbance to the seals, is under review by the National Marine Fisheries Services, Lightner’s office said. In addition, the city still must apply for and obtain the building permit for the project — a process that will start in March. Construction is estimated to take about 220 days. Its target completion date is now December 2014. In 2011 La Jolla’s community advisory groups unanimously approved suspending La Jolla’s typical moratorium on construction during summer months, to expedite the project’s work schedule. However, all construction must still be suspended during the seal’s pupping season, from Dec. 15 to May 15. The cost for planning, design and construction of the project is $3.25 million, and will be completed by Stronghold Engineering. Following condemnation of the old Children’s Pool tower, lifeguards spent five months monitoring the beach from their trucks, until the current platform they are using was brought in as a temporary solution. Though Harris said lifeguards
The city condemned this crumbling concrete lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool beach five years ago. Lifeguards say it poses a safety risk if a chunk of it breaks off and falls to the beach below. Pat Sherman continue to make due with the platform, he said it is ultimately inadequate to monitor that stretch of coastline, which includes tide pools where children are frequently washed out to sea, cliffs where people are often stranded and one of the city’s most dangerous rip currents, at Shell Beach. “It’s a lot of water to watch and we need elevation,” he said. Meanwhile, Harris said he is
even less optimistic about the city’s projected fall 2014 start date for construction of a lifeguard tower at La Jolla Cove. The ongoing construction of the new lifeguard tower at La Jolla Shores has been plagued by problems, he noted. Its tower had to be redesigned due to blind spots built into its observation window, which block peripheral views of the boardwalk. In addition, clear
glass was used in the locker rooms, leading to a loss of privacy. Harris said such problems could have been avoided if the city had consulted a lifeguard during the construction, though the union was told budget cuts didn’t allow for it — an omission he considers “a penny wise and a pound foolish.” “These are projects that are several million,” he said. “It’s logical … to have fully engaged a lifeguard from start to finish.” Perhaps the only good news to arise from delays to the Children’s Pool tower is that it will buy more time for the La Jolla Parks and Beaches group’s sidewalk beautification project on Coast Boulevard. The project will cost an estimated $250,000 — but only if the work can be done at the same time as the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower replacement (to take advantage of the approved contractor). The group has been slow in raising funds for the project and the additional time to solicit grants and donations would serve as a welcome reprieve. Tax deductible donations to that project can be made to: La Jolla Parks and Beaches Children’s Pool Walkway, C/O La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., P.O.

Caring Transitions helps families and seniors ease the move to a new home A
Courtesy
s the first of the 79 million baby boomers began turning 65 in January 2011, an even greater number of families began trying to help their aging loved ones transition to another home or facility. To provide some much-needed assistance with these moves, local entrepreneur Will Fuller launched Caring Transitions, a business designed to assist families through the process, filling a unique niche in the marketplace. Fuller and his Caring Transitions team help to reduce family stress and anxiety by providing expert guidance on all phases of transitioning, including senior relocation, de-cluttering a residence, downsizing a home, preserving family heirlooms and organizing estate sales, among other things. Caring Transitions serves residents in the San Diego and surrounding areas. “Everyone will experience a ‘triggering event’ at some point in their lives that will put them into a difficult transitioning state — whether that event be moving your loved one to a new home, divorce, downsizing due to the economy, or death,” Fuller said. “Caring Transitions
provides a distinctive and valuable service so that individuals can ensure that all phases of transitioning are handled properly and at the same time, they won’t need to deal with the emotional and physical stress that comes with transitions. “After spending more than 22 years in the San Diego area, I have seen many friends and families, as well as my own, struggle during some of life’s most stressful and overwhelming times. This compelled me to start Caring Transitions.” Among the services that Fuller and his Caring Transitions team can provide are assessing items in a house and assisting with critical decisions about those items; working with families to declutter a residence; space planning for the new residence; facilitating the distribution of items to other family members; conducting sales of remaining items to the public; and then cleaning out the home in preparation for sale. — For more information about Caring Transitions, call (858) 768-2000 or visit EstateMoveLaJollaCA.com

Richard Giorla’s Cardio Barre can help reshape clients through his signature workout form
H
ollywood’s best-kept secret has reached the shores of San Diego as Cardio Barre opened its newest studio in the heart of La Jolla at 7580 Fay Ave. No. 107, between Pearl and Kline streets. Created by dancer/choreographer Richard Giorla, Cardio Barre combines weight training, flexibility and cardio moves in a no impact one-hour session. Another benefit is that using the ballet barre helps isolate muscle groups, which becomes very effective in body sculpting. It gives you the core strength to lift your own body weight. At Cardio Barre, you burn fat; you turn your muscles in a lean sculpted body. The class can be modified to any individual’s level of intensity to make it challenging for everyone. Men and women (over the age of 14) can get in shape through a fun and effective workout designed to shape, tone and define their bodies. Cardio Barre La Jolla offers three levels of difficulty for Intro, Beginners and Advanced. Testimony from Kristin Bergqvist “I’ve always been pretty physically active. I’d work out three, maybe four, times a week and was always able to maintain my weight and clothing size — until I started pushing age 30! In the past year or so I’ve really noticed that the pounds don’t come off like

She recommended I try coming to class five times a week, as that’s when she really started seeing results. “I’ve been coming to class five times a week for a month now and am seeing major improvements in my body as well as my mind. I’ve lost 1-inch off my thighs and 1-inch off my waist after four weeks. It has been three months since I started Cardio barre and even though I knew this workout would give me results I’m still surprised by the numbers! I’ve lost 12 pounds! 4-inches off my waist, 3-inches off my thigh and 2-inches off my arms. I fit in the jeans I wore in college again! I haven’t made any conscious adjustments to my diet, however, since starting this class my craving for sweets is almost completely gone! Aside from physical changes, I’ve noticed that I handle stress a lot better and am happier overall — all the endorphins, I guess! I can’t speak more highly of this workout. As our instructors say when we’re at the peak of class, ‘It’s an hour out of your day, push yourself!’ “ — Cardio Barre La Jolla, 7580 Fay Ave. Suite 107. (858) 454-1954.

f you live long — and lucky — people may show up from an earlier time whom you will recognize as markers by which you take your bearings. When I was a schoolboy at a small New England boys’ boarding school where I had By Blayney Colmore been sent from Manila, an elegant young couple joined the faculty. Mr. Buell, Tom, coached hockey, taught English, produced and directed school drama, was very funny, and handsome. Mrs. Buell, Joan, shepherded her three small children, wrote poetry, coached drama, listened patiently to adolescent boys’ silly stories at dinner in the noisy dining hall, was very funny, and breathtakingly beautiful. When she walked across campus all activity ceased until she was out of view. If she was aware, nothing about her betrayed it. Having grown up in Charlotte and Manila, I wasn’t much of a skater, but I became backup goalie so I could be coached by Tom. With no experience nor talent for drama, I faked my way into a bit part with a single line, so as to spend a few afternoons near Joan. Fast forward 50 years. Our class reunion. The Buells, loved by many in our class, were urged to join us. Uncommonly generous, they came. Fifty years of aging had made them more beautiful. They moved the old boys of our class as they had those many decades earlier. After I choked my way through speaking of my roommate, who had died, Joan wanted to talk, promised to send me an edition of the wisdom she writes, collects and memorizes. They live in Portland, Oregon, where our son, his wife, and now, daughter, live. In one of those seemingly offhand remarks, Joan urged us to come see them when we were visiting. By the time we returned from the reunion, Tom and Joan had entertained our children at dinner, along with several of the most fascinating people in town, from infants to the Buells in their 80s. Our children told of a marvelous evening, poetry, singing, finding new dimensions to life in Portland. They have been often since we have stayed there, and this past weekend, Joan and Tom again had us for dinner. Joan sang the song, the lyrics to which she had written for our granddaughter Safiya’s first birthday. Their house, in the hills above the city, was part of Joan’s life growing up. Tom’s sculpture studio and Joan’s phantasmagorical vision, crowd the place with fascination that could keep one entertained for weeks. I never had a conscious thought about them for a half century, yet the moment we reconnected, I recognized them: icons, become friends in the flesh. The peculiar idea of God being born, like us, living and dying, like us — the Incarnation — is often called the Anglican heresy. Anglicans, Episcopalians, make more of this idea than many think necessary, or sensible. A thoughtful person might find it somewhere between silly and insane. Either invisible, remote God, high in the heavens; or intimacy, human embrace, our richest encounter. I don’t mean to embarrass Tom and Joan. They are burdened with the modesty people of our generation believe good breeding requires. But an evening exploring Tom’s creations all over their place, hearing about their latest sojourn in a tiny fishing village in rural Mexico, watching them drink in year-old Safiya’s wisdom, their delight in hosting people at their table and in looking forward to another day, stirs in me the closest I can imagine, to religious experience. If there is more we are invited to taste here than an evening with Tom and Joan provides, I suspect it would be too rich for my palate.

Are pamphlets, T-shirt sales legal at Cove? An open letter to Councilperson Sherri Lightner: Surprise. I stopped in the 3-minute parking space at La Jolla Cove this a.m. so my wife could check the water temperature (54-degrees, too cold for her to swim). I am used to tables hawking T-shirts devoted to saving the Earth, but not to a table with signs and literature devoted to saving my soul. I think my temperature might have risen a few degrees when I was visually accosted by a plethora of signs set up on the grass and sidewalk inviting me to learn about God and the Bible, and offering Watchtower in the language of my choice. I offered to the smiling attendants at their setup table that their presence on city property was a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. The ever-smiling male attendant assured me that it was all right because the city had issued them a permit. Well, I opined to the still-smiling proselytizer, then that makes both you and whoever issued that permit in violation of the law. Correct me if I am wrong or please tell me who is responsible for this and what will be done about it. And while you’re at it, how about getting rid of those ugly T-shirts (sales) as well. Donald K. Ryan La Jolla Dear Donald K. Ryan: I was forwarded your e-mail about Jehovah’s Witnesses tabling in a public park. This is not illegal. Public parks are often opened by the government as “public forums.” This is a legal term that means the space is available for anyone to exercise their free speech rights (within normal legal limits). Often they require speakers to get a permit. If the government chooses to open a forum, they may not discriminate against who is speaking. Any group that wishes to speak may do so, religious or otherwise, so long as they obey the law. If this really bothers you, we always suggest that people counter the religious message. Again, the city can’t prohibit a message they don’t like so an atheist message must be allowed as well. Our group offers “non-tracts” specifically designed to counter religious leafletting. https://ffrf.org/shop/nontracts If you are going to stage this counter-protest, we may be able to provide you with some free nontracts. Andrew L. Seidel, Attorney Freedom From Religion Foundation, Inc., Madison, Wisc. Dear Mr. Seidel: Sincere thanks for your enlightening response. It is satisfying to be assured that this is legal though I fail to see the difference between this and putting the 10 Commandments on a lawn at city hall. I shall cc this to those with whom I shared my complaint. While firm in my belief, I am not a zealot and will let it rest. Daniel K. Ryan
Windemere House was historical gem I’ve been reading your articles on the Windemere House with some interest as we lived in the house from 2001 until it was purchased by the current owner who demolished it. We moved when the property was sold by the estate of my husband’s grandmother Janet Pattee. She and her husband Walter owned the property for many years (30 or so I believe). The house itself was donated to the La Jolla Historical Society but they didn’t have a place to move it to as far as I know. The property was perfectly habitable. We raised three children there. (I was pregnant with our second child when we moved into the house). We were shocked and dismayed to see it so abruptly destroyed. It was a lovely piece of La Jolla history and we have so many great memories of living there. I have pictures of the house if you would like me to send them to you. If you have any questions about the property I would be happy to answer them. Deborah Pattee

Preservationists to hold ‘vigil’ for historic La Jolla home Sunday By Pat Sherman Members of La Jolla Historical Society’s Preservation Committee will hold a candlelight vigil to draw attention to the unexpected demolition of Irvin Gill’s Windemere cottage more than a year ago. The event, “Remembering Windemere,” will be from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27 on the sidewalk at 1328 Virginia Way, in front of the vacant lot where the structure — one of the state’s earliest examples of craftsman style architecture — once stood. Organizers will construct an altar to Windemere, with candles and photos. Past Windemere occupants, neighbors and those familiar with Gill’s late 1800s cottage will speak. Organizers said the event is intended to acknowledge the “continuing loss of our cultural heritage in the silent passing of Windemere,” which occurred after the city issued an emergency demolition permit to the property’s
current owner. The demolition occurred after negotiations between the owner and the historical society to relocate the structure came to an impasse. Organizers hope the vigil will generate public awareness, so that solutions to preserve La Jolla’s remaining cultural landmarks may be developed in the future. Preservationists contend that the owner violated provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) by not mentioning his intent for “future development” at the site when obtaining the initial demolition permit. However, in a Jan. 11 memo, the city’s Environmental Services Department stated that the new home proposed for the site is “categorically exempt from CEQA, pursuant to CEQA state guidelines.” The owner is seeking to build a two-story, 3,061-square-foot residence above a 1,856-squarefoot basement with a 473-square-
The old-growth redwood Interior of Irvin Gill’s demolished Windemere cottage. Courtesy foor detached garage and 451-square-foot guest quarters. The city said the project, also known as the “Bernate Ticino Residence,” will not have the potential to cause significant environment impacts, and it also will not involve expansion of the property’s current use. The city also said a records search did not indicate any historic resources within or adjacent to the site. The city’s archaeological staff found “no
potential impact to any potentially significant archaeological resources,” following a field study. Preservation Committee Chair Leslie Davis said the committee plans to appeal the city’s determination. The appeal must be filed with the city clerk’s office by Jan. 31. Other organizations, such as the Save Our Heritage Organisation may file their own appeals, she said. During the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA)
Jan. 3 meeting a two-pronged consent agenda item from the Development Permit Review (DPR) committee — that would have required the owner to retroactively obtain a coastal development permit for the demolition of Windemere, and also recommended denial of that permit — was pulled from the agenda by LJCPA Vicechair Joe LaCava. “While there was a lot of focus on the demolition of the historic structure, the (DPR) subcommittee had not reviewed the new proposal at all,” LaCava told the Light. “I did not want the La Jolla CPA to miss an opportunity to review the proposed project, in addition to whatever opinion it wants to express about the demolition of the original structure. I’m hopeful that (LJCPA President) Tony Crisafi will be successful in contacting the applicant and bring it back so we can discuss the merits of the proposed project.”
OBITUARIES
Anne Penniman Ferguson 1926 – 2012
Anne Ferguson, long time La Jolla resident, dies at 86. Anne was born in Los Angeles on September 12, 1926, to Helen and John Penniman. Together with an older and younger brother (John and Russell III, respectively), she grew up in Winchester, Massachusetts. She entered Smith College in 1944 and played on the College’s women’s tennis team, winning the regional College Girls’ Invitation Tournament doubles in 1948. After graduating in 1948, she married William (Bill) Edward Ferguson of La Jolla, California, on November 5, 1949, in Laguna Beach, California. From the time she moved to La Jolla in 1949, Anne Ferguson was known for her support of La Jolla’s civic affairs, and in the process developed lifelong friendships with many founding members of the postwar La Jolla community.
Her support of local schools began in 1956 when she served on the La Jolla Country Day School Board of Trustees, which at the time was considering its move to a larger property from its existing downtown La Jolla location. She was an active volunteer at the schools her four children attended over the years. These included a stint as Treasurer of the PTA at La Jolla Elementary in 1968, and a lengthy role on the Board of Trustees of The Bishop’s School from 1964 -1971. Respected for her tenacity and dedication in a volunteer capacity, she occasionally found herself in these volunteer roles long after her children had graduated. She served as Treasurer of the fund raising effort which built the Parker Auditorium at La Jolla High School entirely through charitable donations. She remained in this position until the auditorium was completed, which turned out to be well after her youngest daughter entered college. Anne pursued extensive volunteer work outside her children’s school as well. “Mom set an example for all of us to give back to the community, an example that each of us have followed in our adult lives,” said Rich Ferguson, Anne’s son. She was an active member of Las Patronas during the early years of her marriage and of the San Diego
Junior League from the early 1950s through early 1970s, holding the board positions of Secretary (1957), Public Relations (1963) and Treasurer (1964). However, she probably most enjoyed her repeated wins of the Junior League’s annual bridge championship. She remained an active member of the Wednesday Club, which she joined in 1985, until her death on December 9, 2012. She lived in La Jolla her entire adult life, including 53 years in her home in the lower Hermosa section of town. Anne is survived by her husband of 63 years; their four children, Helen of Canby, OR, Linda of Tehachapi, CA, Richard of New Canaan, CT, Julia of Darien, CT; and three grandchildren, Alexandra, William and Christina. A celebration of life will be held in the coming weeks in La Jolla. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The Bishops School in her memory.

Born in London, Ontario, Canada, on December 8, 1934, she passed the morning of Friday, January 18, 2013, at Nazareth House up the hill from Mission San Diego de Alcala with
her sons, Edward and Christopher at her side. Raised an only child in Wallaceburg, Ontario, Canada, by George and Dora Chambers, Virginia was the Valedictorian of her graduating Class in 1952 from Ursuline College Chatham (AKA The Pines, UCC) a Catholic secondary school in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canada. She then received her Bachelor of Arts from The University of Western Ontario’s Brescia College in 1956 and lived abroad in the late 50s and early 60s for two years in Vienna studying at its famed Music Conservatory and three years in Florence studying the arts and music, where she performed a piano recital for former United States President Harry S. Truman and met and had an audience with Pope Pius XII. She returned to the United States to receive a Masters of Arts and Masters of Music from Indiana University’s renowned School of Music where she met her future husband, Dr. Jaroslav J. S. Mracek, distinguished Professor of Music at SDSU (who predeceased her in April, 1999), whom she married on August 5, 196, and they moved to new jobs at then San Diego State College in 1965 and raised two sons in the College Area. Virginia taught Italian at SDSU from the mid/late
60s through early 70s, took a break to be a mother of two growing boys and then went back to teach at SDSU’s English as a Second Language program (ESL) in the late 70s through the early 80s and taught numerous students from Japan and The Middle East and finished up her academic career at The San Diego Community College District teaching Humanities / Western Civilization at Grossmont and City College as well as at USMC’s MCRD, The U.S. Navy’s Sub base at Ballast Point and the 32nd Street Navy Terminal. In the mid-1990s she became a naturalized American citizen and voted in every election including November 2012. She converted to Catholicism in 2004 and was a Parishioner at Mission San Diego de Alcala after having been raised an Anglican by her English-Canadian parents. She was a San Diego Opera devotee from year one and with her late husband also supported the San Diego Symphony, then La Jolla Chamber Music Society, San Diego Museum of Art and the Friends of Czech Music. An avid reader of Hollywood biographies, she was a real cinemaphile and twice won the “James Bond” trivia contest at The Ken Cinema. A voracious reader, she also loved CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, JEOPARDY and
enjoyed boogie boarding at Torrey Pines State Beach, Gator Beach by the Navy SEALs base and South Carlsbad State Park Beach. Blessed with an operatic voice, great piano ability, a photographic memory and multiple language skills she touched many a life in the Greater San Diego area and will be dearly missed by her two sons and extended family and relatives in Canada and the East Coast. A Catholic funeral Mass will be held on Friday, February 1, 2013, at 11:30 a.m. at Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala. A viewing will be held Thursday, January 31, 2013, from 5:30–7:30 pm at Greenwood Memorial Park, 4300 Imperial Ave., San Diego, CA 92113.

Planning group pens letter to mayor against seal rope extension; webcam to be installed at Children’s Pool By Pat Sherman During its January meeting the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) voted to draft a letter to San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, in response to his decision to extend the guideline rope at Children’s Pool beach. At Filner’s urging, city workers extended the rope last month before required permits for the work were obtained. The rope, which is intended to keep humans and seals a safe distance apart during the fin-footed mammals’ pupping season (Dec. 15-May 15), was supposed to be 152 feet in length per a 2010 vote of the San Diego City Council. That length leaves a three-foot opening for divers and spear fishermen to access the shoreline. But in 2010, city staff mistakenly approved coastal development and site development permits for a 130-foot rope, which resulted in an opening of about 20 feet. Seal advocates say the wider gap emboldens visitors to disregard the rope and signage suggesting that the public stay 50 feet from the seals, and asked for Filner to rectify the situation. Filner obliged and instructed city staff to extend the rope to curtail potential harassment of seals. City Attorney Jan Goldsmith then issued a memo outlining potential repercussions of the mayor not first obtaining the proper permits, in which Goldsmith opined that Filner’s action could open the city up to litigation or penalties of up to $30,000. The LJCPA’s letter, dated Jan. 18, reaffirms beach access advocates’ opposition to a guideline rope at the beach at any time of the year. La Jolla residents “have made it clear to the La Jolla Community Planning Association that they are opposed to the recently lengthened rope at the Children’s Pool,” the letter states. “As a result, the LJCPA voted on Jan. 3, 2013 to inform you and your staff of our position and previous actions regarding this important community matter.” LJCPA board member and animal rights
Lifeguards and seal advocates say the three-foot gap is keeping the pupping seals safe, but pro beach-access residents are unhappy with the mayor’s autonomous rope extension. Pat Sherman advocate Jim Fitzgerald was the lone vote against drafting the letter, which concludes by stating, “The La Jolla Community Planning Association urges the mayor and city staff to abide by the conditions of the (existing 132-foot) rope barrier permit and the voices of the community. We wish to preserve limited and reasonable access to the Children’s Pool and maintain joint use of its coastal water.” However, seal advocate Dr. Jane Reldan said that the 152-foot rope is working as intended (as one lifeguard also commented to the Light). “The difference between the current threefoot opening and the former, gaping 25-foot opening is that visitors are not confused and now automatically stay behind the rope,” Reldan said, via e-mail. “Without the extra length, visitors ignore the rope and approach the seals even to touch them, causing them to flush, (flee rapidly into the ocean in fear). This flushing behavior interferes with the seals’ rest and
thermoregulation, which is particularly deleterious to mother and young in these critical final months prior to pupping. “Unless the professional harassers are present on the sidewalk or on the sand telling people to go close to the seals, … most people comply with the city’s recommendation,” Reldan said. “When people are not incited to violate the rope , it works very, very well.” Meanwhile, the mayor has since approved installation of a camera to monitor harbor seals at Children’s Pool beach during pupping season. The camera, to be funded by the Western Alliance for Nature (founded by Larry Wan, husband of former California Coastal Commissioner and seal advocate Sara Wan), was to be installed this week — though it was unclear at press time whether the appropriate permits for the camera had been issued. “Mayor Filner has bypassed the permitting process again, just as he did when he extended the pupping season rope,” said
David Pierce, director of the San Diego Council of Divers. “Mayor Filner should be setting an example for citizens to follow, not to violate the law but to go through (the city’s) governmental process.” Beach access advocate Melinda Merryweather, one of those present at the LJCPA meeting who suggested the group write the mayor, noted that the LJCPA, La Jolla Town Council and La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. all have voted against the rope barrier. Beach access advocates have said for years they’d rather have the city use approved methods of urging the seals to relocate to another area, such as Seal Rock, she said. “If somebody was to come and build a SeaWorld in La Jolla they’d have to provide the parking for it, and no parking has ever been provided for this attraction,” said Merryweather, who feels the seals have polluted Children’s Pool beach and are a lure for sharks. Merryweather provided La Jolla Light with copies of National Geographic feature stories from 1949 and 1952 that tout the Children’s Pool as an international destination for spear fishermen and free divers, decades before the seals arrived at Children’s Pool. Photos of Children’s Pool beach in both issues show no seals on the beach (in contrast to seal advocates’ claim that they have always been at the beach, Merryweather noted). “There is a rhyme and reason for the Children’ Pool,” she said. “For someone to just come along a say we want it for something else is ridiculous, (especially) from a mayor who said he was going to listen to the communities.” Merryweather said the three-foot opening is not wide enough for divers to haul their gear onto the beach. “We are a community of surfers and divers and fishermen and the Children’s Pool means the world to us,” she said. “Someday the seals will up and move and everyone’s going to feel pretty foolish for trying to cram this down our throats.”
Teenager stabbed at house party in La Jolla By Pat Sherman San Diego police are investigating the stabbing of a high school boy Saturday night at a house party in the 500 block of Fern Glen, just east of La Jolla Boulevard. Police report that sometime before 11:30 p.m. two young men tried to force their way into a party on Fern Glen, attended by 35 or more high school students. They were told to leave by people hosting the party and a fight ensued. Police said the victim was stabbed twice in the back by at least one of the crashers. The boy, who was later taken by friends to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla for treatment, is expected to survive, police
officer David Stafford said. Police said the suspects are described as 17- to 20-year-old Asian males, both with thin, 5-foot, 8-inch builds and last seen wearing gray baseball caps. Residents on Monday told the La Jolla Light the commotion began Saturday evening at around 11 p.m. at a house adjacent a parking lot used by La Jolla Lutheran Church. One resident said she called police to report a disturbance in the backyard of the home. “I called the cops at 11 p.m. and they were here like two minutes later, and then it was quiet from that point on,” the resident said. “This is a beach rental and there’s always a bunch of people who rent
CRIME REPORT it and stand outside and drink beer — that’s not unusual. But they wouldn’t shut up so I called the cops.” Police Lt. Andra Brown confirmed that police were called to the scene, though she said “the units that showed up were unable to locate anything or anyone and cleared.” It is not known whether adults were at the party, she said. SDPD was not alerted to the stabbing by hospital staff until “way after the fact,” Brown added. A couple who live several houses east on the block reported a confrontation between two large
groups of youth walking toward each other also around 11 p.m. Saturday. They said a racial epithet caused a fight between three of the youth to break out in the middle of the block. The couple doesn’t believe the youth were from La Jolla. “We came out on our deck and you could see a ton of people … running up and down the (south) side of the street,” they said. By the time the police appeared, they said, the youth had dispersed. No one answered the door Monday at the rental home in question where residents say the party occurred. San Diego police asked anyone with information regarding the attack to call (888) 540-8477.

La Jolla High girls water polo rallies past Cathedral Catholic

By Rick LeBeau On the strength of a balanced scoring attack, La Jolla High School’s girls water polo team managed to overcome several deficits in the first half, then pulled away in the third quarter for a victory over a strong Cathedral Catholic High School team, Jan. 16. The La Jolla High Vikings scored their only two first-quarter goals on penalty shots, and trailed 3-2 at the end of the period. The second period began with Viking Taylor Bertrand scoring her second goal, this time on an outside shot, tying the game at three apiece. Two minutes later, Bertrand spotted another opening and scored again on an outside shot, again to tie the score. Lexi Atwell got in on
the scoring action with a very wellplaced lob shot to give La Jolla its first lead of the second quarter. Sarah Young then got off a blast from the center position to pad the Vikings’ lead. La Jolla took a 6-5 lead into halftime, and it looked like the two teams were going to reprise their classic battles of the last few years, where each game during the league schedule was settled by one goal. Sarah Young had other ideas, though, as she scored again for the Vikings just 19 seconds into the third quarter. The game seesawed until midway through the third quarter, when La Jolla broke through for three straight goals to finish out the quarter with an 11-6 lead.
Cathedral did its best to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter, but La Jolla continued to apply enough pressure to keep the Cathedral Catholic Dons at bay. Scarlett Hallahan added her third goal of the game with a minute to go, dashing all hopes that Cathedral could somehow even the score with a late scoring run. Taylor Bertrand led all scorers with four goals for the Vikings, while junior lefties Hallahan and Young had three apiece. The win gives the Vikings victories over two of the top three rivals in the Western League, with their only league loss coming versus The Bishop’s School of La Jolla last week at Bishop’s home pool. League play will resume after the AFC Tournament.

La Jolla High boys basketball squeak past Scripps Ranch, 46-41, in defensive struggle
La Jolla High School Vikings overcome the Scripps Ranch High Falcons 46-41 in a home game Jan. 19. Michael Ragovin
By Michael Ragovin The La Jolla High School Vikings played Scripps Ranch High Falcons in boys basketball at La Jolla’s “Big Gym” on Nautilus Street, Jan. 19. It was a low-scoring battle from the beginning. Shooting percentages were low and defensive intensity was high. La Jolla came into the game averaging 54 points per game, but won the match 46-41. Scripps got the opening tip, however, the first score didn’t come until 1:32 was gone in the first period on a lay-in by the Falcons. La Jolla answered immediately with a jumper from the key to knot the score at 2:00. There was no scoring until 5:30 left in the first period when Scripps scored on an uncontested lay-in making it 4-2 Falcons. La Jolla followed with a lay-in and Scripps made four free throws. Each team had a threepointer and the quarter ended 1110 Scripps, after a couple more buckets. There was no scoring in the

second quarter until there was 4:49 left in the period. Almost half the quarter was gone as the Vikings scored from behind the arc giving La Jolla the lead for the first time, 13-11, which they never relinquished. The Vikings scored on a fast break, a three-pointer and a lay-in while the Falcons answered with a lay-in to make the score, 18-13 with 1:37 left in the second period. Then, La Jolla drives to the basket for two and makes the free throw. Scripps hits a three from the corner and the Vikings make a two-point jumper at the buzzer. La Jolla takes a 7-point lead at the end of the first half, 23-16. At the beginning of the third period Scripps came out in a zone and La Jolla stayed in their manto-man defense, which proved to be very efficient as they held the Falcons to only 16 points in the first half. A jumper by Scripps closed the gap, 23-18. A free throw and offensive rebound by the Vikings and a three ball by Scripps made the score 26-21.
The Falcons made a free throw with 4:39 left. La Jolla then made a long 3-pointer from the top of the key, followed by a lay-in, and the score became 31-23 at the 4-minute mark. The Falcons made a free throw and a 2-pointer from under the basket to close out the scoring in the third period with La Jolla ahead 31-25. The scoring picked up in the fourth period. Scripps made a run in the middle of the quarter scoring 10 points and limiting La Jolla to three. From that point on, the closest the Falcons got was five points as the game ended with La Jolla on top 46-41. Matt Needham was selected as player of the game. He had 12 points and his two baskets late in the game sealed the victory. Zach Ohara was the leading scorer with 17 points. After the game Vikings Coach Paul Baranowski said, “We are struggling to play man-to-man, but we thought this would be a good opportunity to work on it and they did a good job today.”

What brought you to La Jolla? I came to San Diego for a NROTC Midshipman cruise the summer of 1960. I was so impressed that I said I wanted to come back here to live. While I was at Amgen in Thousand Oaks, I visited La Jolla on weekends and finally bought a small condo. When I left Amgen in 1991, I decided to move to La Jolla and buy a home here in the Shores. What might you improve in town? I would invite UC San Diego to be a better neighbor and citizen. As the La Jolla Light pointed out when UCSD constructed a building in the Shores that is at least 10 feet higher than originally presented to the local community, this is not what one expects from a good citizen. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by the piano music of Chopin and Mozart. I am amazed that a person could sit down at a piano and write such music starting

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt f you’re a filmaholic, you’ve probably heard about the Cinema Society, and its director, Andy Friedenberg, who founded the Society in 1984. Having moved to San Diego from Chicago, where he was Regional Marketing Director for Columbia Pictures, he wanted to create a way for local filmlovers to meet, watch movies together and talk about what they saw. “That first year, we started out with 32 people — my mother, my father and 30 of their friends,” he said. “Now we have over 800 members.” For the past 15 years, MCASD’s Sherwood Auditorium has been the site of the Society’s popular Evening of AwardWinning Short Films.

‘Chasing the Song’ is high note in Playhouse’s DNA New Work Series By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt What’s the next hot ticket at the La Jolla Playhouse? It may well be “Chasing the Song,” a new musical exploring the world of pop music in the early 1960s, by award-winning book writer/ lyricist Joe DiPietro and composer David Bryan. The dynamic duo is best known for “Memphis,” about a white DJ airing black music in the 1950s, which was staged at the Playhouse in 2008 and scored four Tonys on Broadway in 2010. “They’re an extraordinary team,” said Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley, who helmed “Memphis” in La Jolla and New York and is now directing “Chasing the Song,” scheduled for its first public readings — with four pianos! — Jan. 25 and 26, at the Potiker Theatre on the USCD campus.
Book writer/lyricist Joe DiPietro, La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley and composer David Bryan are the powers behind ‘Chasing the Song,’ which will have a staged reading Jan. 25 and 26 as part of the Playhouse’s DNA New Work Series. Courtesy “Joe DiPietro has decades of experience in theater and is smarter than anyone I know about story,” Ashley said of the writer, with whom he has done two other shows.
“And David Bryan, who toured for years as keyboardist with the rock band Bon Jovi, brings a wonderful freshness of spirit. This is still a new adventure for him.”
It will be an adventure for audiences too, part of a sixweek array of plays-inprogress, Jan. 24-March 3,

The Old Globe’s ‘Pygmalion’ is delightful entertainment If you go ■ What: ‘Pygmalion’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings to Feb. 17
Let’s Review
By diana Saenger

La Jolla Cultural Partners
he story may be 100 years old, but The Old Globe Theatre proves George Bernard Shaw’s classic “Pygmalion” can still be funny and heartwarming. With a topnotch cast, a stunning set design and superb direction by Nicholas Martin, the production is delightful. Charlotte Parry fully embodies her character Eliza Doolittle in the first 10 minutes of the play. She rushes on scene as Colonel Pickering (Paxton Whitehead, Old Globe Associate Artist) is trying to console Mrs. Hill (Maggie Carney) and her daughter Clara (Danielle O’Farrell) for having to wait for a cab.
■W here: The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park ■ Tickets: From $29 ■ Phone: (619) 234-5623 ■ Web: TheOldGlobe.org Eliza immediately speaks in a loud cockney accent trying to sell her flowers when Freddy Hill (Robbie Simpson) runs in and accidently knocks her to the ground. Eliza demands payment for her ruined flowers while Clara adamantly orders her brother to ignore the obscene girl. Everyone is bantering about until the Colonel warns that there’s a man hiding behind a column writing down notes. Language Professor Henry Higgins (Robert Sean Leonard) steps from the shadows and reveals he’s appalled at the way Eliza speaks. After

blossom. But for every improvement she makes in her life she must also endure Higgins’ constant putdowns. The scenic design by Alexander Dodge with a rotating floor is gorgeous, drawing audible sounds of approval from the audience.
It’s hard to take one’s eyes off Higgins’ home with its tall walls and cases full of trophies and other objects — most especially when the floor rotates to reveal Higgins’ mother’s lavish mansion-like home artfully decorated with beautiful accessories. Against many suggestions, playwright Shaw was always adamant that “Pygmalion” was never intended to be a happy-ever-after experience. Nicholas Martin serves that objective well with this direction. In her Cinderella-like role Parry invites both empathy and pride throughout her journey. Leonard plays the man we admire but dislike with an even excellence. Whitehead is engaging and Don Sparks is zany and comical as Eliza’s estranged father. Kandis Chapell is totally transparent as a mother who is proud of her scientific son, but appalled every time he opens his mouth. Audiences will appreciate everything about this production, especially the laughs that just keep coming.

Campus crowd happily shares its tasty secret: Zanzibar Cafe By Kelley Carlson anzibar Cafe on the UC San Diego campus plays a supporting role during performances at The Loft, but when classes are in session, it takes center stage. Tucked into a corner on the second floor of Price Center East, it’s one of the restaurant’s two locations in San Diego. While Zanzibar Cafe’s downtown site is more of a full-service bistro, the UCSD counterpart is designed for quicker service. Inside the modern establishment — an artsy space with sculptural lighting fixtures and paintings that grace peagreen walls — customers order food at the bar/counter, and it’s brought to them at their seats. Some people opt to relax on the benches loaded with green and white pillows, with their companions sitting opposite them on plush ottomans; others socialize around tables large and small. The music is ambient, ranging from hip-hop to indie. It’s often a morning stop for campus crawlers, who start their day with a cup of steaming coffee and fuel up on fare ranging from burritos and egg dishes to bagels and parfaits. As the weather warms and lunch hour approaches, many people take their entrees onto the communal patio that contains about a dozen tables, some of which are shaded by umbrellas. Midday dish offerings include the Mango Chicken Salad, a colorful combo of grilled chicken breast, sliced mango, cucumber, jicama, goat cheese, roasted almonds and sun-dried cherries on a bed of mixed greens, with a side of sun-dried cherry vinaigrette; and the Turkey and Bacon Melt with Roma tomato, pepper jack cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato aioli on sourdough bread. Among other popular choices are the Zbar Mac & Cheese with a cornmeal crust and a side salad; and a trio of Fish Tacos made with blackened tilapia, spicy cabbage slaw, mango salsa and house-made hot sauce on the side. Zanzibar’s social hour begins at 4 p.m., and the selections become simpler, such as fried pickles, a basket of fries and chicken nuggets, flatbread and hummus with pita. Beer and wine are served inside only. Tyler Vandertie, The Loft’s general manager, suggests customers sit at the bar and interact with the staff by asking questions. “You get the full

scope of what’s going on, and people likely won’t go wrong with any of the food items,” Vandertie said. For a special treat, stick around after the end of social hour and catch a show. Officially, Zanzibar closes at 6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, but on performance nights, it rearranges seating and then reopens for dinner and drinks at door time. The kitchen operates through the end of the show — usually between 11 p.m. and midnight — serving items from the lunch and social hour menus. Events — spotlighting everything from rock bands to movies to art shows — are held about six nights a week. About half of the shows require tickets, which can be bought ahead of
time or at the door. Regular events include “Blabbermouth,” an open mic night drawing poets, singers and comedians held the first Monday of each month; and “Reply All: Jazz,” staged the first Wednesdays. Vandertie credits owner Carole Janks for the unique atmosphere at Zanzibar. “Her energy trickles to everyone involved,” he said. “It’s a friendly environment, good food, good atmosphere.” For nonstudents planning to visit Zanzibar at The Loft, the most convenient parking is the Gilman Parking Structure, at Gilman and Russell drives. Permits are available at stations inside the structure for $2 an hour. To find Zanzibar, walk to an exit and follow the signs to Price Center East.

Attack of the toddler terrors
OPENS JANUARY 26
when combined with any single digit between one and seven, suddenly makes something that worked before cease to. For example, Option + 2 turns off the timer bell so that one could, for example, discover that they’ve had one of the back yard sprinkler valves running for seven hours. Option + 4, which turns off the Cooking Completion Time bell, is a serious bummer as well. Fortunately, you can put the oven control panel in Child Lock mode so that they can’t use it. But you can’t either. More problematic was the fact that two Thanksgivings in a row, a grandchild took it upon herself to turn off the oven while the turkey was cooking. You walk into the kitchen and instead of the comforting hum of the oven there is an eerie silence and the heartstopping Black Screen of Death on the touch screen panel. Has the oven taken this extremely inopportune time to crump? Or was it a stealth toddler operation? I pressed the On button and the panel (and oven) blessedly sprang to life. But how long had it been off? Ten minutes? Oy, an hour? Deciding the dishwasher was suddenly on the fritz, I discovered that tiny fingers had simply re-set it to “Rinse and hold.” The really odd thing is that we never actually see them do it. And it’s not like they’re roaming around our small house unattended. But toddlers seem to have radar for Unattended Electronics upon which they engage in covert attacks. The Navy Seals could take lessons. Realizing three days after the Toddler Invasion had decamped that we had no phone service, we discovered with AT&T’s help that we

ver the holidays, it is always our hope to have the company of our four preschool grandchildren. And after they leave, it is always our hope to someday get all of our electronics working again. There is something about tiny persons and LCD panels that is just irresistible. In our home, alas, the electronics all seem to be located at perfect toddler eye level. I always tape covers over the CD player, amplifier, and DVD player, of course, but for the tots this just acts as a flashing neon beacon that there is something Really Neat underneath. Pretty much everything we listened to on our CD player for weeks after they left was really heavy on the bass. The lights on the DVD player still blink continuously. As for the remotes, even Olof, who is an engineer, is sometimes hard put to get them to ever operate a TV again should they be left unattended while the TV is on. (So many buttons! So little time!) The living room light timer is perpetually 10 hours off when the tots are in residence casting us into darkness at inopportune times and lighting up the house like a Christmas tree at 3 a.m. Tragically for us, the electronic touch screen panel on our KitchenAid range is on the front rather than the top. Exquisitely accessible to someone of the pre-school persuasion is the Options button, which
don’t have three phones but four: the last one is the small handset on our littleused fax machine that was ever so slightly off the hook. My computer is in the guest room and should I accidentally leave it up after I’ve checked e-mail, I find that all my desktop icons have been rearranged, my font settings mysteriously microscopic (must ask them how they do this since I can’t change my desktop fonts if I try) and the speakers cranked up to 150 decibels. I can only wonder what they’ve ordered on Amazon. My desk and desk chair, meanwhile, have been elaborately reupholstered with an entire package of Post-It Notes, some with personal “wuv” messages (the author informs me) in the form of Hi-Liter scribbles. All electronic transgressions are immediately forgiven. Ironically, all the grandkids over a year old can actually operate iPhones (to watch videos) and cameras. At four, our budding-portraitist grandson acquired his own (adult) digital camera with which he shoots away, reviews his photos, and deletes the ones he doesn’t want. Given his size, it is not surprising that most of his shots are of people’s nether regions. I have suggested to his mother that he could stage a pre-school retrospective entitled, “My favorite crotches.” At Olof’s office Christmas party, he won a Roku 2 as a door prize. We frankly have no idea what it is, and why it’s better than the Roku 1. But we have plan: the next time she’s here, we’re going to ask our three-year-old granddaughter. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

And the high note of the series is “Chasing the Song,” an insider’s look at the process of creating hit songs. The action takes place in Manhattan’s legendary Brill Building, which was headquarters for music publishers, labels and agencies in the big band era of the ’30s and ’40s, and continued putting out the top pop sounds in the ’50s and ’60s with hit-makers like Carole King, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, and Neil Diamond. The story is about a struggling music publisher and an ambitious young songwriter who make their way to the top of the charts before the Beatles come along and change the game. The DNA series will also include workshop productions of two non-musical plays: “The Tall Girls,” a drama by Meg Miroshnik, directed by Juliette Carrillo (Jan. 24–Feb. 3), brings the bright hope of a girls’ basketball team to a desolate town aptly named Poor Prairie. And “Brahman/i, A One-Hijra Stand-Up Comedy Show,” by Aditi Brennan Kapil, directed by Jeremy Cohen (Feb. 21–March 3), presents a precocious sixth-grader who talks about being “intersex,” or in the words of his traditional Indian aunt, a hijra. Each play will have eight performances in the Makineni Play Development Center. But wait, there’s more: six free readings (Feb. 7-9 and Feb. 15-16), ranging from local favorite Monique Gaffney’s “Being Henrietta,” about a poor black woman whose cancer cells became one of the most important tools in medicine, to the family-friendly “The Boy at the Edge of Everything,” by Australian playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer. If you’re a theater-lover, you won’t want to miss any of these adventures in play-making. The letters to remember in the next six weeks? Definitely DNA!

FROM SHORT FILMS, B1 “We scout the planet to find the most interesting films,” said Friedenberg, who mostly finds his awardwinning shorts at other film festivals. Some of his personal favorites this year: n The multi-awardwinning, Oscar-nominated “Asad,” a 16-minute South African film about a young boy who dreams of being a fisherman. Filmmaker Matt Lefebvre will be present at the screenings. n “Abiogenesis,” a 4-minute animated sci-fi fantasy from New Zealand. “I created the film on a standard desktop computer in my parents’ garage,” said filmmaker Richard Mans. It took him four years to complete, and has now been shown at over 30 festivals around the world. n “What You Looking At?” a 9-minute film from the U.K., about a Muslim woman stuck on an elevator with a drag queen.

Iranian architect living in La Jolla devoted to creating ‘spiritual space’ By Joe Tash Through his lectures, writings and, most importantly, the architecture he has designed and shepherded through construction, Fariborz Sahba has focused his energies on creating “spiritual space.” “Mostly that’s what I have done for the last 35 years, that’s been the focus of my work,” said Sahba, 65, an Iranian-born architect who now lives in La Jolla and works as a management consultant with a North County technology company. Sahba spent 25 years working on just two projects — a temple in India and a series of gardens, terraces and buildings surrounding a temple in Haifa, Israel. The first project, called the Lotus Temple in Delhi, has been considered one of the world’s most visited buildings since its completion in 1986, and a symbol of religious unity for India. The Haifa project was designated a World Heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO. The two projects were commissioned by members of the Baha’i faith, of which Sahba is an adherent. And both were intended to convey central tenets of Baha’i beliefs. In the case of the Lotus Temple, a concrete structure composed of five concentric layers of nine lotus petals, Sahba submitted his original design at the age of 26, and arrived in India to supervise construction two years later. The lotus “is a universal symbol of all the religions,” he said. “The main aim of the

design was to demonstrate the most important principal of the Baha’i faith, which is unity of mankind,” said Sahba. “Black, white, purple, pink, any color, we should be united.” The Baha’i faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. It was founded in the 1860s in Iran by Baha’u’llah, a Persian nobleman considered a prophet

by Baha’is. San Diego County has an active Baha’i community. Sahba said Baha’is believe in the concept of one god for all people, and that all religions flow from the same source. The religion has no clergy, and is governed by elected councils at the local, national and international levels.
People of all faiths are encouraged to visit Baha’i temples, where they can read aloud from the holy texts of any religion, or pray silently, but not deliver sermons or interpret religious teachings, said Sahba. From its opening, the Lotus Temple in Delhi has attracted millions of visitors annually — in 2011, he said, the total was 4.8 million visitors, more than the Taj Mahal or Eiffel Tower. A CNN report described the temple as the world’s most visited building, and it was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most visited religious building in the world. It has also garnered numerous architecture and design awards. India is a melting pot of many different religions, and believers from many faiths come together at the Lotus Temple, said Sahba. “I’m so happy to see after 25 years this is happening,” he said. The temple sits in the center of nine pools, and was designed to be cooled by drafts of air coming across the pools, up through the bottom of the structure, with warmer air exiting from vents at the top. Inside, a skylight and other openings allow natural light to enter. Sahba spent 10 years on the design and construction management, overseeing a workforce of as many as 800 local laborers. Among visitors to the site during construction was musician Ravi Shankar (an Encinitas resident who died in December at

‘The Brothers Size’ will heat up The Old Globe stage By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt One of the hottest names in theater these days is playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, a graduate of Yale School of Drama, member of Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company, resident playwright at New York’s New Dramatists and London’s Royal Shakespeare Company, and a multiple award-winner on both sides of the Atlantic. Now, “The Brothers Size,” for which he won the first New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award, is coming to The Old Globe Theatre Jan. 26. Originally staged at Yale, where the playwright, director Tea Alagic, and actor Gilbert Owuor were at school together, the play had its New York premiere in 2007 at the Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival. Part of McCraney’s “Brothers/Sisters” trilogy, three passionate, poetic pieces set in Louisiana’s bayou country that all started out at Yale, it has since been performed at theaters around the world. This will be its first showing

Production Update ■ Shortly before the play was scheduled to open, Gilbert Owuor had to withdraw from the company due to a family emergency. The part of Ogun will be taken by Joshua Elijah Reese, who played the role in the West Coast premiere of ‘The Brother/Sister Plays’ at San Francisco’s Magic Theatre and most recently in a South African tour with Syracuse Stage.

Henry DiRocco in Southern California. Pulsing to the beat of African drums, “The Brothers Size” is about two brothers who are opposites in nature: the older one, Ogun, is the hardworking owner of an auto-repair shop, while the younger, Oshoosi, a newlyreleased ex-con, is a carefree drifter about to be shaken up by a visit from an old prison friend. The characters are contemporary, but they’re informed by West African mythology, with names derived from Yoruban deities: Ogun, god of iron and metal-
work; Oshoosi, a hunter-god and solitary seeker; and Elegba, god of mischief. Gilbert Owuor, who originated the part of Ogun at Yale, and played it in New York and Washington, D.C., is no stranger to “The Brothers Size.” But this time, he’s performing with different actors. “That changes everything,” he said. “I have to step away from the world I was used to and approach the play in reference to the new actors, as if it were the first time. I have to ask new questions,

try to find new things — it’s amazing how, with good writing, you can endlessly find new things. It’s very exciting and refreshing.” Director Alagic’s style is exciting, too. “I had the pleasure of working with her at Yale, doing everything from Brecht to Shakespeare to Tarrell McCraney,” Owuor said. “She’s very much about the manifestation of character through physicality, encouraging actors to truly embody their roles.” Part of the play is stylized
movement, both athletic and dance-like, and the ever-present drumming. “It elevates everything to a different dimension,” Owuor said. “Our words are contemporary, but the music creates a sense of awesome power underneath. The drums are really another element, the African side, the side of worship and transcendence.” Composer/percussionist Jonathan Melville Pratt first
worked with the play’s original cast in New York. Now, at The Globe, he too is making changes, rewriting the score to fit the new trio of actors. “The Brothers Size” is an unusual play about family, and what we do for those who are most important to us. “Bring someone you love to watch the play with you,” Owuor suggested. “If you have a brother, come with him.”

What Comes to Mind?
Cutler-Shaw exhibit at Athenaeum combines nature and science
At the opening of her exhibit at the Athenaeum, Joyce Cutler-Shaw poses in front of her walk-in book, ‘Garden of Wild Birds and Grasses.’
Lilo Miller and Zeke Hlavacek
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt For the past 40 years, Joyce Cutler-Shaw has been exhibiting her drawings, artist’s books and installations at museums and libraries around the world. The artist, who has called La Jolla home since 1959, is currently showing an impressive selection of her slide-out, large-format and “tunnel” books at the Athenaeum in “What Comes to Mind: Nature-Human Nature and Visual Translation.” At the Jan. 11 opening, more than 100 art-lovers gathered to admire the exhibit, which continues from the main gallery into the North Reading Room and includes a 10-foot-tall walk-in book that supersizes an image from CutlerShaw’s original “Garden of Wild Birds and Grasses.” Another, more permanent, version of this piece is on view at the gateway to Stonecrest Village, a housing development in San Diego, in the form of a pair of steel

sample of her “Alphabet of Bones,” a unique calligraphy inspired by her detailed drawings of the leg bones of a messenger pigeon. But the most captivating works here are four wallmounted tunnel books, framed by her own brain scans, that invite the viewer to contemplate a loop of videotaped “memory pictures” within; it’s the artist’s way of showing how the brain accumulates images from the past, becoming a

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 with only a blank sheet of paper. I don’t play well, but when I play some of their music, I immediately recognize their genius. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? I would invite four Nobel prizewinning physicists from the early 20th century who solved problems in quantum physics and four from the modern era to hear their discussion of why there is so much more mass in the universe than we can explain with our current theories.
Kathleen Hallahan, Susan McFetridge, Joyce Cutler-Shaw and Rob Quigley FROM ART, B12 storehouse of personal and cultural memories. Also on display are “Limbs and Trunks,” three-dimensional drawings underscoring the connections between humans and trees, and “What Shall We Do When the River Runs Dry,” wall-mounted slide-
out books that act as a visual meditation on the dwindling supply of our most precious resource, water. Visitors are encouraged to open drawers and peer into cases to discover some of the artist’s interesting but lower-profile works. This is not Cutler-Shaw’s
first show at the Athenaeum, which has a number of her pieces in its permanent collection and was part of a four-library retrospective of her work in 2003. But it’s a show well worth seeing: “What Comes to Mind” will give you plenty to marvel at and think about.
What are you reading? Over the holidays I read “The Admirals” by Walter Borneman, “The Generals” by Thomas Ricks, and “Masters at War: Patton, Montgomery and Rommel” by Terry Brighton. I like reading military history and leadership. I am currently reading Tony La Russa’s “One Last Strike,” about the 2011 World Series Champion Cardinals. It is a great book on leadership and management. What is it that you most dislike? Those who do not appreciate the quality of San Diego’s performing arts organizations as exemplified by music as presented by the San Diego Opera and the San Diego Symphony, and theater as presented by San Diego’s Old Globe and La Jolla Playhouse. We do not need to go
to New York for great music and theater. What is your most-prized possession? Things are not important to me and you cannot possess your friends. However, music is precious to me, and my family’s Steinway piano helps my children and me bring music into our home. What wonderful craftsmanship by Steinway and such a beautiful sound! What do you do for fun? I like to travel with my family. We have been to Egypt, China, Turkey, England, France and Japan in the last four years. We were in Tokyo during the 9.0 Earthquake and that was frightening. We were in Egypt a few months before the revolution. Some of our friends think we are an early-warning system for undesirable world events and book travel in opposite directions. We plan to go to Africa on safari soon. What is your motto or philosophy of life? My motto is a combination of two that I learned in the Cub Scouts and Boys Scouts: Be Prepared (Boy Scouts) and Do Your Best (Cub Scouts). What would be your dream vacation? Two weeks on Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island with my wife, children and grandchildren.

For almost 40 years, Hagar, age 65, has been one of rock music’s most prolific artists. From breaking into the industry with the seminal hard rock band Montrose to his multi-platinum solo career to his ride as the front man of Van Halen, the “Red Rocker” has set the tone for some of the greatest rock anthems — “I Can’t Drive 55,” “Right Now,” and “Why Can’t This Be Love?” Hagar won a Grammy Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Van Halen and is currently on his fourth platinum run with the group Chickenfoot. “Baja Knights” will raise money for the school’s need-based student financial aid
and faculty professional growth programs. This year’s “casually cool” event is co-chaired by Bishop’s parents Janna and Marco Monroy and Tina and David Thomas. “Baja Knights” will also feature a premium wine auction, dinner for 500, and both live and silent auctions for items that offer unique experiences. For information or to discuss a sponsorship or donation, contact the school’s advancement office at (858) 875-0804. n “Baja Knights” kicks-off with a Wine Tasting Party 5:30-7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26 at the home of Dawn and Sam Maywood. Admission is $100 or a donation of one or more bottles of premium wine (Must have a Wine Spectator, Parker or Wine Advocate rating of 95+ points and a minimum $100 value.)

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. LA JOLLA LIGHT - JANUARY 24, 2013 - Page B21
Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment.
