Vol.99 Issue 1 January 6,2011

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Some who study the ocean’s inhabitants are countering concerns raised by La Jolla Cove swimmers who have complained that the area is becoming an uninviting and dangerous place for humans because of an overabundance of sea lions. “This is happening worldwide — there’s more of us and we’re interfacing with urban wildlife,” said wildlife biologist Renee Owens of Owens Environmental. She added that humans have no more to worry about with sea lions than they do with harbor seals. “Sure, they’re big and they can be scary looking, but there’s really extremely low risk of any sort of attack,” she said. ‘If something happened, I guarantee you it was because the person tried to do something like touch them.” Besides their aggressiveness, another concern raised by Cove users about the proliferation of sea lions there is that the marine mammals waste is polluting the waters creating the potential for humans to get sick. “There is absolutely no evidence of anything making people sick coming from those pinnipeds,” said Owens. “Most of the coliform bacteria in those waters that’s going to make people sick is coming from sewage runoff.”

Enlightening La Jolla Since 1913

Making a Wish: Here’s what some want for La Jolla in 2011 BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Turning the corner on a new year, newsmakers in La Jolla had some thought-provoking things to say about what they’d wish for in 2011 — or whether their wishes in 2010 came true. ■ Scott Barnett, newly elected San Diego Unified School District Board mem-

ber representing Sub District C that includes La Jolla, sees better times ahead and said he hopes his wish for greater educational autonomy for the Jewel is granted. “The La Jolla cluster is definitely more organized, more cohesive, has its act together much more than other areas in the district,” he said. “I think giving the cluster more autonomy on how it spends

in La Jolla and districtwide is “to have an honest and open civil discourse about our financial situation and all the various options, whether they be cutting programs or reducing salaries.” Despite tough recessionary times, Barnett’s convinced district finances can be “turned around.” “It may take a year or so, but I believe there’s enough

money in this district to run our schools adequately,” he said. “We’re not managing effectively. We don’t know how much we’re spending. We don’t know how many employees we have doing what. In the near term, we need to have some good open dialogue with all the interested parties: teachers,

Cups La Jolla Kudos go to Cups La Jolla, La Jolla’s cupcake lounge and cooking school, for the “edible” planters it has in front of its store at 7857 Girard Ave. Lounge manager Ashley Williams said the planters abound with rosemary and edible orchids. Kassir limes in boxes round out the plantings. “The edible orchids are officially called microorchids,” said Williams. “We use them for garnish for special orders.” They’re one of several La Jolla eateries brightening up the Jewel with the "green" benefit of putting their plantings to good use.

Meeting set for report on new merchants’ group BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer With the deadline approaching to submit a proposal for a new merchants group to the city council, those leading the effort will discuss their progress in a forum at 4 p.m. Monday at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. Three groups have been working since late November on preliminary steps that must be accomplished if a new, not-for-profit business betterment corporation can be formed in time to seek a contract with the city to run the business improvement district. The new group would replace Promote La Jolla. “The meeting is for the working groups to let people know the results of their deliberations,” said Phil Coller of Everett Stunz, one of those on the committees discussing a proposed budget, naming and by-laws. Coller expects the Jan. 10 meeting will bear fruit in the form of a proposed name, a preliminary budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year and a draft of new group by-laws. “Once the meeting is over, a decision will be made on the paperwork so that we meet the timelines for

forming the new group,” Coller said. “Things have been sort of tested with the city to make sure we’re not going in a direction they don’t like: We’ve gotten positive feedback.” First District City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner started the discussions at the end of October with the first public workshop. Mike McLaughlin, a consultant hired by the city to guide formation of the new group, sent letters out this week advising those within the boundaries of the 30-block Village business district about the meeting and what needs to be done. One of those tasks is forming a board of directors. Any businessowner who’s paid the La Jolla BID assessment can be nominated, he wrote. Business owners also can select an employee to represent that business on the 15-director board whose name will appear on the ballot for a term to begin in midFebruary. The deadline for nominations is 5 p.m. Jan. 18. For more information call the La Jolla Businesses Unite information line at (619) 295-5171 or e-mail mike@tmc2020.com.

‘Plunging’ into New Year

Swimmers enter the ocean. PEARL PREIS

Swimmers and surfers ushered in the New Year with traditional events at La Jolla Shores. On Saturday, more than 200 turned out for the La Jolla Cove Swim Club’s annual Polar Plunge. Then on Sunday, about 40 members of the La Jolla Shores Surfing Association gathered for their annual potluck on the boardwalk for what club President Lorainne Schmalenberger described as “fun surf, abundant sunshine, great food and good vibes.”

Copley Press selling La Jolla holdings BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Copley Press Inc., which sold the Union-Tribune for an unspecified sum to Platinum Equity in March 2009, is in the process of divesting itself of several of its holdings in La Jolla. In April 2010, the 15,000square-foot former Copley Library at 1134 Kline St. was purchased by Kevin Kinsella, who runs private venture capital fund Avalon Ventures based in San Diego, for $3.75 million. Kinsella will continue to maintain it as a library for his collection of art, books and fossils, and as an exhibit “for things of significance to La Jolla.” Other Copley properties remaining for sale include: • 0.72 of an acre of residential property at 7720 Ivanhoe Ave. that Alcorn & Benton architects in La Jolla has proposed redeveloping into The Heritage high-end condo project. • A 10,236-square-foot office building at 7701 Herschel Ave., formerly the Copley Press business (data) center.

• More than 25,000 square feet of office space at 7776 Ivanhoe Ave., formerly the Copley Press corporate office, listed by Mike Slattery and Bob Kuzman of Cassidy Turley. • Twenty-two acres of undeveloped land next to the Copley estate (not for sale) on Country Club Drive. For The Heritage project site, which presently contains several cottage-style homes including one considered historic, Alcorn & Benton have presented nine different condo redevelopment alternatives, ranging from four to 30 units, on the parcel allowing a maximum of 32 units. The firm’s optimum proposal calls for 14 total units, each about 2,200 square feet, including underground parking. “The Heritage is on two separate contiguous parcels and the total is being offered at $7.2 million,” said Paul Benton. “If a buyer does not come along, Copley Press is interested in going ahead and developing the property, or finding someone else to

do a joint venture.” The former Copley Press data center has been on the market for about a year and a half, said Curt Perry who, along with Thomas Olson, is listing the property for Coldwell Banker Commercial. “Copley stopped using it about two years ago,” Perry said. “It started out being offered at $6 million, but is now listed at $3.9 million, a price range where it will sell.” Perry said the building is on a 17,498-square-foot lot, which includes a 27-space parking lot. Alcorn & Benton also have submitted a design concept for the former business center, which calls for five or six residential units above com-

Abandoned seal pup dies An abandoned day-old harbor seal pup died on Dec. 29, a day after being rescued from the Children’s Pool and taken to SeaWorld San Diego. Calls about the undersized male pup began coming in during the morning on Dec. 28, and SeaWorld staffers responded around noon, said SeaWorld’s Kelley Terry. She said the pup weighed only 7 pounds

and appeared to have been born premature. That’s about half the COURTESY weight of a normal day-old pup, said SeaWorld’s Dave Koontz. “Typically, we try to wait a little while on a

young pup to see if its mother tries to come back,” Terry said. She said this one appeared to be injured from occasional sea gull attacks, so it was brought back to the park to warm up and be given nutrients. A necropsy will be performed to determine the cause of death. — City News Service contributed to this report.

Faulconer announces staff changes San Diego Council President Pro Tem Kevin Faulconer has named Katie Hansen as chief of staff. Hansen will oversee day-today operations, policy, communications, office management and legislative affairs for Council District 2, which includes south La Jolla. Hansen starts Jan. 10. She replaces Aimee Faucett, who recently was named deputy chief of staff and director of policy for Mayor Jerry Sanders. In a related move, Faulconer

promoted Tony Manolatos from communications director to deputy chief of staff and communications director. Manolatos joined Faulconer in 2009 following a 14-year career in journalism. Hansen has worked for the California Restaurant Association since 2007 as director of local government affairs for Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Previously, she served as the associate director of public policy for BIOCOM.

Think that surgery is your only option for effective pain relief from a herniated disk? According to a 2006 study by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, it may not be the only option. Although lumbar diskectomy is a common surgical procedure, its necessity in treating herniated disks has not been established. This study suggests that while surgery may be an effective route to relief for many people, longer term, nonoperative therapies may offer benefits that are similar to, if not equal for patients who elect not to have surgery. Physical therapy is an effective, conservative treatment method to help avoid herniated disc surgery. The Mayfield Clinic in Cincinnati, Ohio – one of the largest neurosurgical practices in the world – recommends that all patients try PT prior to scheduling surgery. The professional therapists at Ability Rehab perform a thorough evaluation of your muscle strength and flexibility, pain levels, joint range of motion, postural, spine, walking mechanics and more. We develop an individualized therapy program to address your specific needs. Our techniques can reduce or eliminate pain, protect the back and quite possibly help you to avoid surgery altogether! Please discuss this option with your doctor. P.S. Call Ability Rehab to get started on a treatment program as soon as possible!

FROM SEA LIONS, A1 Efforts to reach officials who might have specific data on the quality of the Cove’s water were unsuccessful. What of the charge that an increasing number of seals and sea lions will inevitably lead to greater numbers of man-eating sharks in the area? There is a risk, acknowledged Jeffrey Graham, a marine biologist at Scripps Institution of Oceonography. “But there’s a much greater likelihood of someone getting killed driving to the beach, or drowning, or not taking their sun screen and dying (eventually) from skin cancer,” he said. “You’re just as likely to get killed by lightning. Shark attack is a very, very rare occurrence with the person being in (just) the wrong spot at (just) the wrong time.” The other problem with trying to quantify the threat of a great white attack on humans sharing waters frequented by pinnipeds is that so little is known scientifically about great whites or their behavior, he said. “We have no idea how many great white sharks are in the world, much less in California waters,” Graham said. Attorney Bryan Pease, who represents the Animal Protection and Rescue League and has been a key figure in the ongoing issues at the Children’s Pool, concurred with Graham’s view that more seals and sea lions doesn’t automatically equal more sharks. “The shark thing is a red herring,” he said. “Shark populations are declining all over the world.” Pease also takes issue with those claiming seals or sea lions and their waste are counterproductive to the ocean environment. “Their waste is consumed by fish and lobsters and contributes to the health of the ocean ecosystem, not like human waste which is toxic and spreads disease,” he said. Noting there won’t be any problems in human-pinniped relations as long as humans maintain a respectful distance, as they should from any “wild” animal, biologist Owens pointed out the uniqueness — and value — of the pinnipeds’ presence along La Jolla’s coastline. “There are very few places you can go and get close to these animals without interfering with them,” she said. “I think we’re actually pretty lucky.”

Historic Designation Workshop to be held on Jan.15 BY DANIELLE DAITCH Contributor It’s fitting that a Jan. 15 Historic Designation Workshop will be held at La Jolla’s Wisteria Cottage, which was built in 1904 and designated a San Diego landmark in 1982. The La Jolla Historical Society and the San Diego Historic Resources Board (HRB) will host the program at the cottage, located at 780 Prospect St., where the society holds events and exhibits. The three-hour workshop begins at 9 a.m. and will focus on helping La Jollans determine whether their property is eligible for historical distinction based on the city’s criteria. Society board member Leslie Davis explains why La Jolla is the ideal place for such a workshop: “La Jolla has an extraordinary number of historically significant structures, and many homeowners are interested in the process of designating their homes.“ Speakers will present information and handouts outlining what it takes for a struc-

ture to be deemed worthy of historic designation, detailing the process from collecting archival research to presenting it for City review. Historical Review Board members and owners of historic homes will be on hand for any questions. According to Dr. Diane Kane, a member of the Preservation Committee of the Historical Society, ”all (speakers) are either former or current city staff or Historical Resources Board members, so they are among the most knowledgeable people in San Diego regarding preservation issues.” Kane formerly worked as a senior planner for the Historical Resources Section of the City Planning and Community Investment Department. She will focus on information on architectural styles that meet designation criteria. Other speakers include local architect Ione Stiegler, president of the California Preservation Foundation. She will explain how to maintain the historic value of a property while adjust-

Town Council to get helicopter update Bird Rock resident Ed Quinn, who has been soliciting the support of neighbors in the community in a drive to curb the growing number of problems associated with helicopter flyovers of La Jolla’s coastline, will share his concerns at the next meeting of La Jolla Town Council. The meeting begins at 5 p.m. Jan 13 at the La Jolla Woman’s Club, 715 Silverado St. “A group of neighbors circulated a letter, which 132 people responded to,” said Quinn, who began documenting nighttime and earlymorning helicopter flyovers several months

ago. “We’ve also met with the Marines and the Navy.” Quinn, who lives on Camino De La Costa, said the military has been responsive to listening to community concerns about helicopter noise and other issues, but cautioned it may take a while to get through the chain of command. “The real issue is the course rules for the military,” he said. “When they take off from North Island and go over Crystal Pier they’re at very low levels, and they need to fly further out and further up.”

VIP event set to kick off lecture series The La Jolla Historical Society will hold a “Meet the Speakers" VIP Reception on Jan. 9 for its upcoming lecture series featuring 10 of San Diego’s most influential architects who have contributed to the fabric of the region’s architectural character through a keen eye and an innate sense of passion for the uniqueness of local history. Board member Angeles Liera conceived the series and worked with the speakers to focus their topics, said John Bolthouse, the society’s executive director. Beginning in February, the monthly lectures at the Wisteria Cottage will focus on topics such as the historic preservation battles of the old, while invoking fresh ideas and crisp lines to create new landmarks. The speakers will address such ideas as whether architecture shapes not only buildings, but environments, neighborhoods, cities and even the health of our minds. The VIP event will be held at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Tickets are $25 for members/$35 nonmembers. The individual lectures will be held at the Historical Society’s Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St., unless oth-

erwise notified, and will begin at 7 p.m. Seating is limited. Individual lectures are $10 for members and $15 for non-members, or for the series, $75 for members and $130 for non-members.

Local Yorkshire named top dog A Yorkshire terrier owned by Mark Dearinger, owner of Dearinger Salon in La Jolla and San Diego, recently was named Best of Breed in this year’s AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. His winning dog is named Mini Cooper. The two-day event was held in conjunction with the AKC Agility Invitational and the AKC Obedience Invitational, the Junior Showmanship competition and the Eukanuba World Challenge, making for a record-breaking entry of 3,233 dogs competing in all events. Dearinger has been showing his Yorkshire terriers in competitions across the U.S. for years, often taking top prizes. He and his Yorkies also have been featured in national magazines. “This year I have two dogs that are currently ranked in the top five in the country and am so honored to be invited to participate in this competition, which is only open to the top ranked dogs

in each breed. This time, we chose to show Cooper,” said Dearinger. “Winning Best of Breed is so gratifying. Cooper is a stunning dog and did exactly as we expected during the competition.” Cooper was shown by his handler, Kirsten McGregor. Dearinger is currently personally showing Carlton, his other top-ranked Yorkie. “Weekly maintenance on a Yorkie’s coat takes about two to three hours per week and precise

attention. Their coat is very timeconsuming because it has to look healthy, shiny and perfect,” added Dearinger. “The work I do with my clients in the salon is similar — it’s as meticulous, exacting and the stakes are just as high because every day they go out into their jobs, social circles, on TV, the political landscape, school or just hanging out, they have to look their very best. I make sure their hair looks the part, from its condition, to the cut and style.” The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship (the 10th annual), took place Dec, 4 -5 in Long Beach and will air on ABC network television on Jan. 23. Dearinger has styled the hair of such notables as Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas, on-air television personalities, local politicians, and business leaders. The salon also has partnered with Giorgio Armani and has won numerous awards for its work and contribution to the community.

Trial set for Keigwin CITY NEWS SERVICE An April 19 trial date was set Monday for a man accused of strangling a La Jolla investor in his home and transferring $7.5 million from the victim's investment account to a new account opened in the dead man's name. Kent Thomas Keigwin, 60, is charged with murder for financial gain in the death last June of 65year-old John Watson, a retired biotech executive and member of a start-up investment group. The defendant pleaded not guilty Monday at his Superior Court arraignment. District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis will decide later whether Keigwin will face the death penalty or life in prison without parole if he's convicted. After a three-day preliminary hearing last month, Judge Yvonne Campos ruled that enough evidence had been presented for Keigwin to stand trial on the murder charge, along with charges of grand theft, burglary, forgery and use of the per-

sonal identification of another. According to court testimony, Keigwin was seen in the area of Watson's home on June 8, the day he was found dead. Prosecutor Sharla Evert said the victim and the defendant — who were acquaintances — struggled inside Watson's home, and the victim was Tasered and strangled. The next day, Keigwin transferred $7.5 million from one of Watson's investment accounts into a new account that he had opened in the victim's name, Evert alleged. Keigwin also opened a safety deposit box and put his passport, Social Security card and transfer codes for bank accounts inside, according to the prosecutor. Three days later, on June 11, Keigwin came back to Watson's residence with the victim's keys — dressed all in black and carrying an empty backpack — and was arrested by homicide detectives investigating Watson's death, Evert said. Keigwin is being held without bail.

SEE WISHES, A1 parents, employees and others. That’s what I would wish for.” ■ Todd Lesser, chair of La Jolla Traffic & Transportation Board which advises the city on traffic and infrastructure-related matters, said he wishes for Todd progress on Lesser the Torrey Pines Corridor project, improvement of La Jolla’s entryway off Intestate 5, streamlining valet parking, halting Village overdevelopment and restructuring of the city’s Development Services Department.

“I’m excited to hear what the city has planned to make the Throat (intersection) what it really should be,” said Lesser of Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s Jan. 19 informational forum on corridor improvements. “The entranceway to La Jolla is an embarrassment, i.e. rocks, weeds and plastic,” he added. “We need to beautify it.” Lesser thinks valet parking currently concentrated in front of a couple of restaurants on Prospect Street needs to be dispersed to multiple locations to make it more efficient and better serve the public. He noted La Jolla is built out. “Our roads already have too many cars on them. If we allow even more building, traffic will get even

worse and ruin the quality of life for everyone.” Regarding development services, Lesser said the system in place offers no incentive to discourage people from doing home improvements illegally, which increases the cost for those following the rules which discourages people from improving their property. “That’s a huge travesty,” he said. ■ Chuck Patton, owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, is a past president of Bird Rock Community Council. His flourishing, mom-andpop shop has become a community hub and model small business. His wish is for Bird Rock to use roundabouts and traffic calming as a stepping

stone to achieve even greater community improvement. “I’d like to see us build on what we’ve accomplished so far in the business district,” he Chuck said, noting Patton the neighborhood’s five traffic circles have “definitely created a more positive shopping environment.” Landscaped medians, added Patton, have made Bird Rock “a nice place to stop and a little bit more welcoming.” Though the recession makes things even tougher for businesses along the La Jolla Boulevard commercial strip to remain viable, Patton believes depth and diversity in retail are both emerging. “People forget about all the services that are available here besides the retail — legal counsel, restaurants, dry cleaning, gifts, etc., ” he said. “I think it’s a pretty healthy mix.” He also sees signs of optimism with the economy heading into 2011. “We’ve seen people kind of coming out of their shell a little bit when it comes to spending money,” he said. “Maybe indeed we’re through the worst of it, and hopefully we’ll start to see

some growth in 2011.” Have the wishes of those the Light queried in the past come to pass? Here’s what they had to say: ■ Architect Mark Steele had two wishes: That people would learn how to drive roundabouts properly, and that the down economy “would get back to Mark the way it Steele used to be.” “I think that (roundabouts) has worked out, it’s certainly improved the look and feel of the community,” he said. “I don’t hear the same complaints I used to.” Concerning the economy, Steele said the jury’s still out. In his own business, because there’s so little new development going on, Steele’s had to shift his emphasis to municipal planning projects in San Diego and elsewhere in California. He believes federal stimulus money is beginning to work its way into the local economy, albeit slowly. “Barack Obama doesn’t drive up to your door in a van and hand you a check,” he said. “It (stimulus) comes indirectly. Some stimulus money came to us by way of SBA (Small Business Administration) loans that we used to buy our own office build-

ing. There have been environmental grants. That is funding our work in Fresno. So it’s getting out there.” ■ Isabelle “Izzy” Tihanyi, La Jolla Shores surf retailer and instructor, a past president of the La Jolla Shores Merchant District, has wished for small busiIsabelle ness in La “Izzy” Tihanyi Jolla to be better promoted. Has it been? “In some ways, yes,” she answered, noting consciousness has been raised about shopping locally with a new day invented nationwide— Small Business Saturday on the day after black Friday in November. Tihanyi noted summeroriented businesses in the Shores depend on locals supporting them during the off-season. And they should. “We have a unique mix of products and services we offer that they won’t find anywhere else,” she said. Tihanyi has a new wish for the Shores commercial district in 2011. “This area needs more recognition and more signage, more of a pull-together feel,” she said. Known as one of the top

LJ financial adviser wins legal battle LIGHT STAFF La Jolla resident Kristian Colvin said last week he won a case involving his departure from Charles Schwab & Co., where he had worked for 10 years. When he left in September 2009 to start his own financial advisory office with Emerson Equity LLC, Schwab sued in Superior Court, alleging Colvin misappropriated personal and financial information and made unauthorized use of the information to get Schwab customers to follow him to his new firm. Schwab also filed a claim for purported damages with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The court denied Schwab’s request for injunctive relief, and found Colvin’s conduct permissible under existing law, Colvin said in a press release. Despite that Schwab con-

tinued its efforts through the FINRA arbitration process. After a four-day trial, an aribtraion panel ruled in Colvin’s favor. He was represented by Jenny Goodman of Sullivan Hill Lewin Rez & Engel, who said the victory was “very satisfying. He went through a lot.” Despite the ruling, Schwab sought to vacate the decision, claiming the panel was biased, according to Colvin. The panel rejected the request and ordered Schwab to pay Colvin $218,881.86 for the attorneys’ fees and expenses he had incurred in the litigation. Colvin said he received the payment this month and is happy to have the ordeal behind him. Schwab was represented by Fish & Richardson. The attorney handling the case has yet to return a call requesting comment.

FROM WISHES, A10 surf schools for women in the world, as well as having been nominated for the Surf Industry Manufacturer’s Association’s (SIMA’s) Women’s Retailer of the Year, Tihanyi’s business, Surf Diva, continues to grow and prosper. “We had the best October and November (retail) that we ever had,” said Izzy. “We’re stoked to have been nominated women’s retailer of the year.” ■ Orrin Gabsch, La Jolla Community Planning Asso-

ciation trustee, wished for a restoration of “trust” by the community in its civic leaders and their leadership. He believes their confidence, once again, Orrin has been Gabsch restored. “You’ve got to take your hat off to Joe LaCava (association president) who’s done one wonderful job the past couple years: The community owes him a debt of

gratitude,” he said. Gabsch however has some trepidation about the new merchant group being created to replace Promote La Jolla. “ Whatever organization will succeed them … It’s going to be difficult,” he noted, adding, “I sense a great deal of top-down coming from the city.” Gabsch said there remains a distinct dichotomy between tourist-serving and community-serving businesses in La Jolla’s commercial district.

FROM T. REX, A1 two possible outcomes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haul it to the dump vs. recreating it,â&#x20AC;? the owner said. Ned Scudder, who had a view of the T. Rexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head from his TV room across the street before it got knocked over, knows what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see done with it: something right out of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jurassic Park.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m encouraging them to use the old bent and battered T.Rex, get at least one more dinosaur, and have it standing over the downed one so it looks as if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been some kind of battle taking place.â&#x20AC;? Scudder said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bizarre just how attached neighbors are becoming to the backyard T. Rex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sort of adopted it,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting just how much is being demonstrated by peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction to its apparent demise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have stopped their cars, and their walks with their kids, and gone, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it, this is terrible. What are we going to do?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been leaving cards and flowers, stuffed animals on the fence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty amusing.â&#x20AC;?

The T. Rex is delivered two years ago and would become a local landmark. historic beast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a very odd reaction in the neighborhood, particularly elderly people,â&#x20AC;? the owner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving the thing one morning, a 90-year-old lady started screaming and asking me what I was doing. She told me not to move her dinosaur.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of become a

neighborhood icon,â&#x20AC;? agreed Scudder, who added it was fun to witness people reacting to it when it was fully outfitted at Halloween. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had a hydraulic ram in the tail powered by an extension cord and they had it hooked up with lights and when kids walked by, the dinosaur would rumble and

lean right down at them and freak them out,â&#x20AC;? he said. Scudder said people have also been making offerings to the thunder lizard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably 20 or more stuffed animals have been thrown upward into its mouth so it looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chewing some kind of small animal.â&#x20AC;?

Muirlands T.Rexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner is putting off the hard decision which has to made about the prehistoric yard sculpture, noting the original artist could be retained to recreate it to follow up on Scudderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion of adding an attacker so it has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;theme.â&#x20AC;? They almost fear the reac-

tion of their family and neighbors if they do decide itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for T. Rex to rejoin the fossil record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Children are pretty attached to it, approaching its being a pet,â&#x20AC;? the owner noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has given a certain status to the neighborhood defining that little corner there.â&#x20AC;?

La Jolla alleyways a reflection of yesteryear THOMAS J. ANDREWS Special to the Light Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This is one of the Lightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occasional stories about places to walk and hike in La Jolla. If you have a favorite one, e-mail editor@lajollalight.com. Off our main streets rests a somewhat unchanged network of small roads and lanes. While our main of roads and storefronts, street-facing buildings and houses have certainly changed, the little connection of alleys and little avenues behind the scene have remained somewhat intact. For someone who wants to travel back in time and experience a little of La Jolla from yesteryear, the back alleys might be your time machine. Personally, I enjoy the beauty offered from all these special areas. I even enjoy the edible fruit that hangs, unpicked, from trees that line some alleyways. These hidden trails remind me of the way La Jolla used to look. And it makes me feel that I can be alone and enjoy La Jolla without someone on a cell phone behind me while I wait in line for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. It is my theory that many of the most unchanged areas have remained so for a couple reasons. First, there is a complicated mix of agreements in regards to easements between the property owners. Also property owners are more inclined to spend their money increasing the size of their structures or upgrading areas that are visible to the main flow of traffic. Some easements are the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or they are there to allow the power company to provide electricity, phone, or cable to the adjoining properties. Any remodeling or upgrade to these areas needs the approval of all involved. Obviously, this can be an expensive and intricate process that most homeowners tend to avoid. Among my favorite areas are the priceless garden lanes and walkways in

Helping You Plan Your Financial Future TOPICS INCLUDE: Investments, Real Estate, Retirement Planning, Comprehensive Personal Financial Planning, Risk Management, Estate Planning, Income Tax Reduction Strategies and more.

THIS SATURDAY - JANUARY 8 lower Hermosa. There is a short alley off of Draper Avenue near La Jolla High where the neighbors collaborated on a vegetable garden. In Bird Rock, there are a couple alleys that run to the ocean with a view of the surf. The Barber Tract has several alleys worth exploring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the one that runs west of La Jolla Boulevard between Marine Street and Sea Lane. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck on Cabrillo Avenue off the top of Pearl Street you can find a cool access walk that will take you down to Virginia Way and the Village. La Jolla is even blessed with a bike path. It starts on Nautilus Street across from La Jolla High by the fire station

and runs all the way to La Canada Street. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place for alley hobos to orient themselves. It is long and beautiful and winds away from private property lines. I believe it was originally an easement to provide for an electric cable car before my day. There is a wonderful view of La Jolla from parts of the path. So instead of taking a hike up in the mountains or a ride to the supermarket, try taking a few walks that are off the beaten path and you will find yourself observing areas that remind you of the La Jolla of old. It is my special Time Machine and it can be yours too.

Make your charitable giving count in the new year COMMUNITY VIEW BY MARJORY KAPLAN President and CEO Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego As we celebrate the beginning of a new year, we at the Jewish Community Foundation want to express our gratitude to those who chose to give to important causes in 2010, For many of you, the decision to give was easy. What was difficult was choosing among the many wonderful nonprofits who reached out. These organizations will continue to need help in the new year, and your giving decisions will be more critical than ever. So how to choose? It’s a challenge the hundreds of donors who partner with the Foundation for their giving bring to us each day. There are a number of things to consider as you narrow down your many options, which is why we felt the time was right to update our Top Five Tips for Giving. Originally created to assist in giving choices during the recession, these tips will help donors make

the most impact in 2011 and beyond.

Tip 1 — Focus With so many important causes and extraordinary organizations, it’s imperative to use laser-like focus. Begin narrowing down by thinking about which issues most ignite your passions, which bring you the highest level of meaning and joy. Then, focus not just on the issues, but also on the impact. What results do you want to see and which nonprofits can attain it? Next, focus on the size of your gift and the number you will make. While a larger gift to one or two organizations would go far for those particular causes, with so many worthy nonprofits in our community you might prefer to give a number of smaller gifts to several organizations. Small gifts can have large returns. The important thing

is to be sure the gift will make a difference for the nonprofit in some way. Finally, think not just about the organizations that need the dollars right now, but also those that will use your gift in strategic and innovative ways. Consider organizations that have thoughtful and effective leadership, those that will use support to advance their missions most effectively and with the highest level of integrity.

Tip 2 — Give in a Way that Matters To You What kind of change do you want to produce with your gift? You have some choices. Your first is to get creative. Each day at the foundation we encounter examples of members of the community turning imagination into impact. Do you support a nonprofit serving spouses of deployed military? You can help pay for the couple to go out to dinner for the night, complete with a babysitter. Want to support those returning to the workplace? What about contributing to professional attire for their job interviews? For those who want to use their money more practically, consider

investing in the nonprofit’s longterm stability. It might not feel as compelling, but these nonprofits must keep the lights on, sustain their staff, and use appropriate technology. Consider providing unrestricted support to build infrastructure and promote long-term sustainability.

Tip 3 — Collaborate Just as we at the foundation encourage nonprofits to combine resources, donors can also collaborate to maximize the impact of their gifts. Join with others to support a program. Encourage friends and associates to give. Advocate for the needs of your favorite organizations. We often underestimate the power of our voices. Tip 4 — Communicate The spirit of giving doesn’t keep nonprofits from the anxiety that comes with running an organization during these uncertain economic times. If you plan to support an organization now and into the future, let them know. Communicating your intentions can help make these uncertain times more certain for a nonprofit. That could be the greatest gift of all.

Tip 5 — Keep Giving Levels Strong We stand at a time of year, and a time in our economic history, when the community needs us like never before. Consider what you can give during this time. Then consider if you can give even more. According to Jewish thought, when you change one life, you change the entire world. You have the power to make a real difference. Use it well. Last year, the Jewish Community Foundation awarded and facilitated almost $68 mi llion in 5,000 separate grants — more than any other organization in the region.

At 6:30 p.m. tonight the City of San Diego will appear before the La Jolla Community Planning Association at the Rec Center to explain its $11.8 million test program to prove it can filter what we flush down our toilets into water which is safe to drink. I bet 100 to 1 that the test results will say “yes it can.” But, before getting my vote to put that filtered water into our drinking water reservoir, the City (which is unable to fill potholes and keep our street lights working) would need to demonstrate a system design which would protect us from human error, malfeasance, and cover-up. Thinking about that system design should be the city’s first priority. So far I have only seen discussion of the exciting reverse osmo-

Not sure about ‘community art’ Re: What is your favorite color? (Dec 10). How about "none of the above"? This paint job trying to pass as art illustrates the arrogance and danger of "community art." The work is aesthetically bankrupt and conceptually dim. It is like loud music, which we

sis technology with no discussion of the dangers of having a human-made catastrophe such as Chernobyl, Three-Mile Island, Valdez oil spill, Katrina lack of preparedness, BP oil spill, and World War II fighter plane engine defects. As to the latter, see Time magazine, Oct. 18, 1943, "...the company (National Bronze) patched up the (defective) parts, changed the serial numbers and shipped them back to Packard as new parts (for fighter plane engines)...." www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,778034,00.html The city of San Diego deserves praise for planning to supplement our water supply with consideration that reclamation uses less energy than desalinization. It needs to also consider the risk to our lives if its future large-scale filtering project is not managed as well as its current small-scale test. To earn my trust, the city needs to speak openly about the risk of management failure and how it plans to minimize such risk. have no desire to hear but can't escape. Thankfully it is "temporary." I shall try to avoid this visual affront on Eads Avenue for the duration of its existence. I am curious, are the architects consulted before their buildings are defaced? Cinderblock and/or graffiti at least lack such insufferable pretension. Don Ryan LA JOLLA

Rubber meeting the road for Village group OUR VIEW Come Monday, we will have a better idea of how the effort to form a new merchants’ group in the Village is coming along. And, come Monday, we’ll get a sense of just who’s willing to give their time to help this new group succeed. The whole idea is to form a nonprofit — which has been labeled “a business betterment corporation” — to go after a contract with the city to run the La Jolla business improvement district. Over

the next 18 months, it’s been estimated the group could have as much as $250,000 to spend on beautification, promotion and special events that comes in from fees that businesses are paying. If it comes together as envisioned, the organization would fill the void left by Promote La Jolla, which lost the contract with the city over a year ago. Subcommittees have been hard at work for the past few weeks coming up with ideas for a name, a proposed budget and bylaws. We applaud

their efforts because they’re working under tight time constraints. They have to file corporate paperwork with the state next Tuesday and have to hold elections within the month after that to meet IRS requirements. The application to the city is due in the February-March timeframe. Meanwhile, anyone interested in being on the 15member board — or in nominating someone — needs to submit forms by Jan. 18. Then come elections. More than 1,200 businesses sit

within the boundaries of the district. Each one paying fees will get one vote for each assessment paid. While the group seemingly doesn’t affect the many thousands of residents and businesses in other parts of La Jolla, the potential for the as-yet-unnamed nonprofit could be great for helping our community regain its once sparkling reputation as a great place to shop or spend an evening or afternoon dining or just strolling. We urge anyone who cares about La Jolla’s future to turn

The La Jolla Recreation Center was built in 1915 by Ellen Browning Scripps whose residence was next door. It was dedicated that same year to the City of San Diego for the children of La Jolla. Today the "Rec Center" is considered a historical site in San Diego. Equivalent in size to approximately two city blocks, the Rec Center consists of two sand play areas with interesting climbing structures, picnic tables, four basketball courts, six tennis courts, a recreation center with classrooms and an auditorium, and the La Jolla Tennis Club and Pro Shop. I have fond memories of visiting the Rec Center as a child. It was a no-brainer for my folks — the center was safe, close to home and provided endless op-

portunities no matter what age we were. For us kids, it was less complicated than that — we simply had a great time and looked forward to every visit. My wife and I have continued the tradition of bringing our children to the center and enjoy annual events such as the Easter Egg Hunt and the Holiday Festival. That said, the empowerment of the center does not stop at children's activities. It is also a major venue for public meetings where generations of La Jollans have come together to vet important issues affecting our community. These hallowed rooms and the time-honored traditions of the center make it a special place worthy of respect for its benefactor and those who endeavor to preserve what it has to offer. Unfortunately, budget cuts threaten the sustainability of the center and its many programs. I was surprised to learn that the center could only af-

ford to stay open for limited hours if it were not for the generosity of local groups and citizens who step up every year to support a facility that truly offers something for every member of the community. La Jolla Parks and Recreation Inc. is one volunteer organization that serves the center and has done so for many years. They need your help and so does the center. Dianne Brittingham is a member of this organization and the center’s director. You can contact Dianne at (858) 552-1658 for more information about donations and opportunities to volunteer. Public meetings affecting the Center are also held every fourth Wednesday of the month at 5 p.m. The Bird Rock Community Council intends to raise public awareness about the center's needs and possibly sponsor fund raising to preserve this important legacy of La Jolla. You can help by submitting your ideas at info@birdrock.org.

out for the meeting at 4 p.m. Monday at the Rec Center and find out what’s going on. Even better, if you own a business within the district, be sure your fees are paid and give serious thought to nominating yourself or one of your employees for the board. At the very least, plan on turning in your ballot when it comes in the mail. Let’s not let a few people make decisions that others will grouse about later. Get involved now while the group is in its formative stage.

YOUR VIEW

Bird Rock student’s point well taken In response to the feature/editorial written by Bird Rock Elementary student Brooke Kaufman, it would be wise for the school administration and school community parents to take a warning and lesson from an alert and wise fifth-grader. School safety patrol members are trained to facilitate safe school arrival and departure on the streets surrounding the elementary school. They are advised to report unsafe conditions and circumstances to the patrol teacher adviser, if possible accompanied with a name or license plate number. Nothing more. I sincerely hope that Bird Rock’s principal will immediately assign herself and other adults (parents are usually more than willing to volunteer for a weekly shift) to the problem areas on a daily basis, to back up and support enforcement of the safety of the student population. It would be helpful if the SDPD officer assigned to the school would increase his involvement at the school. Brooke’s article was a loud wake-up call. Listen now and we won’t have an incident to break our heart. Joyce Singer Abrams LA JOLLA

La Jolla Playhouse a community asset COMMUNITY VIEW BY DORIS SUTTON La Jolla Newcomers Club It was a great event having Michael Rosenberg, Managing Director of the La Jolla Playhouse come to speak with us on Dec.3. He was much enjoyed by the attendees at the La Jolla Newcomers First Friday Breakfast at

Bernini's Bistro, hosted by our own John Weinstein. Michael reviewed for us the history of the Playhouse, the amazing current season, the relationship with UCSD & Jai (Wolfgang Puck's restaurant), and he offered exciting glimpses of the future. Of particular interest was his explanation of how the Playhouse connects with other innovative theaters to

create licensing arrangements of programs initially produced by the Playhouse. For many in the audience this was a brand new insight. Also, mentioned, (I was the one who brought this up) is that a $250 dollar taxdeductible gift to the Playhouse brings an invitation to the March 19 Gala, a chance to mingle with other enthusiastic supporters for a truly

festive evening. I love this idea, and I hope others will love it too. The Playhouse honored my husband Paul and me in 2009 as second runners-up in the "Your Life, Our Stage" contest. Being "La Jolla's Legendary Couple" is a blast this late in the game for WWII people like us. Yes, we are now forever fans! More and more we are all

beginning to grasp that our distinguished Playhouse is not only a remarkable community asset, but also a welcoming place where the best interests of La Jolla and San Diego converge for the good of all. With its awesome honors, it is more than local, truly a national treasure ... . Hope to see you on March 19 at the fabulous Playhouse Gala.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Midnight Oil Motors moves into mainstream street cars Midnight Oil Motors, a San Diegobased automotive service shop specializing in racing and exotic cars, is gearing up and expanding into a more mainstream mode. “Our core business is building and maintaining track and race cars, but we’re branching out more now into parts and service for street cars,” said Ian Middleton, owner/principal of the shop at 9040 Carroll Way, Suite 3, off Miramar Road. Midnight Oil Motors handles everything from basic maintenance to high-performance modification. It is a full-service shop specializing in BMW, Mazda, Mercedes and Alfa Romeo. They also specialize in afterwarranty care for vehicles. The business’s name derives from the tendency of those in the racing industry to “burn the midnight oil” staying up late just prior to a big road race. Noting San Diego’s racing community is small, Middleton, who’s been involved in the race car business for

Loving care is Turquoise Animal Hospital specialty Turquoise Animal Hospital has been around nearly 55 years because of the loving, quality care it’s always delivered to pets in La Jolla, Pacific Beach and Clairemont. “We like to take care of each individual pet as if it was our own,” said Dr. Al Atkinson, who’s owned the animal hospital since 2003. “We understand most people’s pets aren’t just pets, they’re family members. We try to approach it that way.” Turquoise is a full-service, small-animal hospital treating dogs, cats, rabbits, other pocket pets, birds and reptiles. The hospital is American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) approved, and the chief of staff is board certified with the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP). The hospital has an in-house laboratory, which enables it to perform a number of medical procedures, including ultrasound and soft tissue surgery — everything from lacerations and abscesses to removing bladder stones — as well as endoscopy

involving fiberoptic instruments used to visualize intestinal and respiratory tracts. Other medical services offered include acupuncture and chiropractic, dental care, microchipping and blood pressure monitoring. There’s one procedure the hospital performs most often. “By sheer numbers, it’s spaying and neutering of dogs and cats,” said Atkinson, adding it’s just as important to practice preventative medicine with animals as it is with people. “One of the key things is preventative care,” he said, noting it’s best for clients to bring pets in when they’re young and annually thereafter. “That way, we can pick up problems, like lumps or kidney disease, in the very early stages,” Atkinson said. “Then we can often manage it with diet or medications. You also want to make sure to get vaccinations in a timely fashion.” Turquoise Animal Hospital is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 7:30

Bishop's basketball gets back to full strength BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer If you take a quick glance at their record, it looks like there are tough times ahead for The Bishop's School's boys basketball team as they dive into conference play in the coming weeks. After the first 12 games, the Knights have only won five contests and have already surpassed the loss total from last year, a squad that went 20-6 and secured the No. 1 seed in the Division IV CIF playoffs. But there should be an asterisk next to the team's record â&#x20AC;&#x201D; firstyear head coach Matt Niehues hasn't had his full squad on the court at one time this season. Niehues is in his seventh season with the Knights, but took over the head job from Tom Tarantino, who is now the basketball coach and athletic director at the Army and Navy Academy. Several reasons attribute to the sluggish start: Two starters, Micha Seau and Dominique Love, were playing with the Knights' state championship football team well into the month of December, and another starter, Ryan Chong, has been out with an illness. "It's about everything that's

against you as a team is against you," Niehues said. During last week's Torrey Pines Holiday Classic, it was evident the team was more or less winging it given the lack of practice time the team has had. Last Thursday, the team lost by two points to Carlsbad, a game where the Knights shot a paltry 2-for-16 from beyond the 3-point line and missed several short-range shots as well. "When you have practice time, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss that many layups," Niehues said. "I can call one play out here, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how much practice time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one play. "We haven't had a full team practice with everybody, we haven't been able to go 5-on-5 full court this year. But yet we are still in all these games. We lost by two (against Carlsbad) and we lost by two (against Paraclete). We just shoot ourselves in the foot.â&#x20AC;? With the holiday tournaments in the rearview mirror, the Knights now have time to start working on their game, instead of just showing up and trying to improvise their way to a victory. During the holiday break, the team played eight games and practiced as an entire team just once. "Whenever we have practices, we

come out and compete like no other," Niehues said. "But when we do this stuff like we did here (against Carlsbad), the focus is so hard." Before the conference season starts on Jan. 14 against Francis Parker, the team will get two more tests as they play Otay Ranch (9-4) and La Costa Canyon (12-2).

The Knights should start to look more like a team that won 20-plus games the past four seasons. Niehues expects to add several plays to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playbook this week. In the past, he said the team has had as many as 20 to 25 sets to choose from during a game. "It's gonna get better," senior starter Stephen Kaiser said. "We

have been missing players and now we are getting players back and now it should only be uphill from here." Despite the sluggish start, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals remain the same and the first 12 games of the season are now just a memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just win league and CIF,â&#x20AC;? Kaiser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That's our goal.â&#x20AC;?

At the national level, she’s worked with Congressmen Darrell Issa and Brian Bilbray, Senators John McCain, Bob Dole, Barbara Boxerand Dianne Feinstein, among others. The San Diego native founded The Dorsee Company eight years ago as “an expert at leveraging relationships to promote public awareness,” drawing from her life’s fabric of political campaigns, social events and promotional fund-raising. Also a mixed-media artist, Dorsee recently held an “After the Fires” exhibit at Roppongi in La Jolla to showcase her landscape works of vivid color, movement and organic shapes, inspired by her work in helping rebuildparts of Rancho Bernardo damaged by the 2007 fires.

If you go

What brought you to La Jolla? I am a San Diegan so I visited La Jolla many times before moving here and have always loved the area. In addition to its stunning landscape, La Jolla has the unique feeling of a closeknit community. Why is the area special to you? I truly believe that those who live here are the luckiest people in the world. To be able to live, work and play by the beautiful ocean and in this terrific community is a dream come true. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you improve in the area? I would love to see more young people involved in our local community groups, such as the La Jolla Town Council.Their perspective is so important to the long-term success of our area.

The average lifespan of a seal is between 30-40 years. True. Seals have large, round eyes that are able to focus both above and below water. Seals also hear very well both above and below water. Females and pups often call to each other. Seals have an excellent sense of smell, too, allowing them to detect predators. Seals can sleep underwater. They can even surface to breathe without awakening. A seal’s milk consists of 40- to 50-percent fat so its offspring gain weight quickly and grow fast. The offspring are usually weaned at three weeks of age. A seal’s diet consists of squid, shrimp and a variety of fish. Seals use their coarse, sensitive and continuously growing whiskers to search for food in murky waters. —veganpeace.com

Kick off Hibernating Season with energizing foods Kitchen Shrink Catharine L. Kaufman

Let’s kick off 2011 with some powerful foods that will lift your spirits, nix the post-holiday fatigue, and keep the hibernation pounds off you as we all snuggle into the cocooning winter months.

Endorphin Eats Certain foods trigger the body to produce mood-elevating chemicals. High levels of endorphins in the brain give a euphoric bliss while staving off the aging process — another reason why they’ll make you so peppy. Chilies or hot peppers contain capsicin that give the veggie its heat, which also stimulates the nervous wiring in the mouth, sending the signal to the brain to release endorphins that produce a temporary high. This in turn reenergizes the muscles and might even kick you out of your comfy couch for a brisk walk or a spinning class at the gym. Hey, this could be why chips and salsa are so addictive! Chocolate, the most beloved endorphin producing food, considered by the ancient Greeks as “food of the gods,” contains 300 substances including anandamide that mocks marijuana’s mellow effect on the noggin, making you happy and buzzed.

Bittersweet is best, especially with cocoa content more than 70 percent, while the flavonoids also give an antioxidant boon.

mozzarella cheese, and you’ll go nuts over pecan and apple pie with whole grain flour and sweetened with a drop of brown sugar, honey or fruit juice.

Going Bananas This tropical treat is loaded with potassium and magnesium to energize the brain and brawn. Legumes and wheat germ are also good magnesium sources, along with walnuts — the Brazilian variety also provide the trace mineral selenium to the body, boosting bone and muscle strength.

Cup of Uppers A steamy infusion of herbal tea always seems to warm the cockles of your heart, while energizing your soul – peppermint, rosehips and hibiscus teas are peppyuppers, while black and green tea brews will inject you with a caffeine lift. Hot chocolate made with high cocoa content bitatersweet chocolate gives a double dose of zip-a-dee-doodah and desire – verve along with a side order of libido-boosting amore.

Comfort Foods Go on a Diet When you chow down on nostalgic childhood faves like mac and cheese, meatloaf doing the backstroke in brown gravy with bazillion-caloried mashed potatoes, and pecan pie, these release both endorphins and serotonins into the nervous system giving you a feel-good feeling. But these high fatty, sugary comfort foods can be revamped to be healthful and just as comforting, but less prone to pack on the pounds. Loaded with lean protein for energy and calcium for bone strength, the lighter versions will keep you just as sated without being logy. Whip up a chicken meatloaf with ground breast meat topped with a fresh tomato sauce, roasted garlic and pureed celery root mashed potatoes with olive oil replacing the butter and cream, whole grain macaroni with skim

Smiley-Face Foods Potatoes seem to make people happy, along with a carbo-loading boost of zing for the muscles, but choose boiled, roasted (doused with a mixture of olive oil and dried herbs), and baked (with a light-handed dollop of butter and sour cream, if you must) rather than Frenchfried or potato chips. Other giggly foods that rev up your motor include chocolate-covered strawberries, pudding, pizza, pasta and bread, along with anything chewy, cheesy, crunchy, cinnamony, bubbly, buttery, wiggly, jiggly, frothy, frosted or frozen (choose frozen yogurt, ice cream knock-offs made of rice or almond milks, and sorbet instead of high fat ice creams).

Home-style Chicken Meatloaf with Pepper, Onion and Tomato Glaze

One of my family’s favorite comfort foods for this time of year is the down-home meatloaf recipe below. Happy hibernating! 2 pounds of ground chicken (lean) 2 eggs, beaten 1 onion, grated 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 red pepper, diced 1 tablespoon of spicy mustard 1/2 teaspoon each of dried oregano, basil and cumin 1/2 cup of good quality jarred marinara sauce 3 tablespoons of olive oil Coarse salt and cayenne pepper to taste Panko breadcrumbs Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a skillet and sauté the garlic, onion and peppers until tender. Transfer half the veggies to a large mixing bowl and combine with the meat, eggs, mustard, remaining oil and seasoning. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs until the meat is firm enough to shape. Mold into a greased loaf pan, and top with the remaining vegetables and marinara sauce. Bake for about one hour or until cooked thoroughly. Serve with garlic and celery root mashed potatoes. E-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com to tell me what foods energize you. Also check out the Kitchen Shrink and company’s healthy eating blog at www.FreeRangeClub.com.

Dorsee’s ‘After the Fires’ art uses vivid color, movement and organic shapes, inspired by her work in helping rebuild parts of Rancho Bernardo damaged by the 2007 fires. COURTESY

FROM QUESTIONS, B1 What inspires you? Positive people!

This photograph, taken in July 1888 in Brewster, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, shows 8-year-old Helen Keller seated next to her teacher, Anne Sullivan, as they hold hands. COURTESY OF NEW ENGLAND HISTORIC GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY

Junior Theatre to perform ‘The Miracle Worker’ in Balboa Park San Diego Junior Theatre’s production of “The Miracle Worker,” Jan. 7-23 at Balboa Park’s Casa Del Prado Theatre, will bring the audience into Helen Keller’s world, sharing the dramatic story of Annie Sullivan and her struggle to teach the deaf, blind and mute 12-year-old Helen how to be a part of the world she could not see or hear . Written by William Gibson, the drama unfolds to show Helen much like a wild animal. Scared out of her wits, but still frighteningly strong, she claws and struggles against all who try to help her. Half blind herself, but blessed with fanatical dedication, Annie Sullivan begins a titanic struggle to release Keller from the terrifying

prison of eternal darkness and silence. The production is directed by Desha Crownover and Shalico Leaverton. The cast features 16 area students, including seasoned Junior Theatre performers, and introduces the talents of several new students. Performances are at 7 p.m. on Fridays, and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are $8-$14 through the box office at (619) 239-8355 or online at juniortheatre.com. The production is recommended for ages 10 and up. San Diego Junior Theatre is continuing its 63rd season with nine productions at its sites in Balboa Park and La Jolla.

If you hosted a dinner par ty for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Honestly, it would have to be the Hawaiian friends who have been friends of my family for more than 30 years. They have added so much culture and richness to my life. Tell us about what you are reading. I am always re-reading “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron to keep my artwork on track. However, I am currently reading “The Warren Buffett Way” by Robert Hagstrom. What is your most-prized possession? It’s my family and friends.

What do you do for fun? I like to travel to Hanalei, Kauai to visit many close family friends and work on my mixed-media art. I have been an artist all my life. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. That would be creating and launching my own consulting business. I have also been greatly inspired by my experience assisting the community forge a blueprint for rebuilding after the 2003 and 2007 wildfires the county alongside two building companies — New Pointe Communities and Stonefield. It’s been so rewarding to witness the positive results. What is your motto? “Never, never, never give up!” borrowed from Winston Churchill.

Prime Time Viewing

Latest San Diego film festival celebrates aging with international movies about growing older BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor It’s a new year and we’re all a year older. Appropriately, film-lovers of all ages are invited to start 2011 at the premiere of Coming of Age, San Diego’s first annual festival of movies on aging. Hosted by the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) and San Diego State University’s Gerontology Student Association and sponsored by Alvarado Hospital, the festival will be showing six films from four different countries, focusing on the diversity of the experience of growing older. On the second Thursday of each month from January through June, a different film will be introduced, screened, and followed by an audience discussion. The idea is to make gerontology — the study of psychological, social, and ethical issues of aging and their effects on the individual and society — more accessible to the community at large. The film fest is the brain-

with aging populations to suggest some of their favorite films. He selected six categories of special relevance: continuing growth; dementia and care giving; new adventures; sex, love and intimacy; independence; and intergenerational relationships. Each committee member chose a category and a film to introduce. Garrett will kick off the festival this month by introducing “The World’s Fastest

their own way.” Next up on Feb. 10 is the Swedish film, “A Song for Martin” (2001). The story follows famous composer Martin as he meets concertmaster Barbara at one of his performances and the two fall in love. After divorcing their spouses, Martin and Barbara marry and begin a happy life together. Five years later, as the couple is working on a new opera, Martin is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. As Martin’s condition worsens and his personality changes, the couple strain to hold on to the love that once brought them together. Young and old are invited to come to Coming of Aging, and join in the postfilm discussions. The screenings are free, but reservations are required. “This is just the beginning,” Garrett said. “We hope to get bigger and better each year.”

A decorative sign welcomes visitors to Wolfstein Sculpture Park at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. KECIA HARPER

FROM SCULPTURES, B1 the Wolfsteins created the Park with several pieces by Leucadia sculptor Jeffery Laudenslager, including that giant steel circle. “For special events in your life, instead of just giving a big party, it’s wonderful to give something permanent, something positive and encouraging that people can see and appreciate for years to come,” Ralyn said. In 2003, they discovered the Port of San Diego’s Urban Trees exhibitions, an annual display of works along downtown’s Embarcadero. Twelve of these “trees” are now at home in the Sculpture Park. One of the newest additions, and one of the most whimsical sculptures, is a bicycle built for two, commissioned by the Wolfsteins two years ago and installed this past summer. “There’s Nate in the front, driving, and I’m in the back going Yeahhhhh!” Ralyn said. “The name of the piece is ‘We-eeeee!’ with one ‘e’ for each of our five grandkids. ‘We’ has always been a key word in our lives. My husband feels the trouble with a lot of marriages today is that people have lost touch with that word.” Their ‘we’ must be working. The piece is a celebration of their 62nd anniversary. The Sculpture Park is part of the hospital’s Arts for Healing program, the aesthetic component of Scripps’ “World of Healing.” “We really try to create a healing environment, not only with medical care, but also through the aesthetic features of our campus,” said Lisa Ohmstead, the hospital’s public relations manager. Added Joyce Hyde, who has been a volunteer art docent since 2004, “This could actually be an art destination, like Cedars-

Sinai Hospital in Israel, with its Chagall-stained glass windows.” On Jan. 19, Hyde will lead a special tour of the Sculpture Park to provide an opportunity for visitors to get “up close and personal” with the artworks, some of which may be harder to see as the hospital embarks on an extensive building program this summer. Hyde is full of interesting stories about the park’s art

and artists. She’ll tell you the secret behind the lifesized “Little Girl with Fishes” who dances in a fountain outside the hospital’s main entrance. She’ll lead you to fascinating pieces you never even noticed and show you how to put a spin on the kinetic sculptures, too. You don’t have to be ill to come to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. This month, come for the art.

The lectures will Dr. Nicolas be held at the Reveles Neurosciences Institute, Congregation Beth Israel, St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, San Diego Museum of Art, Torrey Pines Christian Church, Carlsbad Public Library and the Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla. All events are free and open to the public, but an RSVP is required. For more information and to reserve a seat, visit the website www.sdopera.com/CommunityCon versations. Lecture Schedule 1. “Turandot: The Operatic Designs of David Hockney,” 3

On the Web

www.sdopera.com p.m. Jan. 9, Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla, 700 Prospect. Kathryn Kanjo, chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, and Dr. Reveles will discuss the opera designs of David Hockney, the great contemporary British artist. MCASD will offer guests free admission before or after Community Conversations to see its current exhibition “Collection Applied Design: A Kim MacConnel Retrospective.“ 2. “Authentic Chinese Melodies in Puccini’s Turandot,” 7 p.m. Jan. 10 at Cooper Music Center, Crill Performance Hall, Point Loma Nazarene University, 3900 Lomaland Drive. Maestro Jahja Ling, music director of the San Diego Symphony, will join Dr. Reveles in lively conversation with examples of music from “Turandot” to help guests understand how Puccini composed his operatic score and how

he used his political connection to find original Chinese music.

Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavalier,” — 18th century Vienna (the era of the opera’s setting) and early 20th century Vienna (the era and culture of the opera’s creation). From the opera’s lavish sets and costumes to the world of Freud, Klimt and Mucha, the explosion of diverse styles that the opera represents will be followed through examples of the art and music of the times.

3. “Faust’s Pact with the Devil: An Interfaith Dialogue on the Concept of Evil,” 2 p.m. Feb. 27, St. James by-theSea Episcopal Church, 7776 Eads Ave., La Jolla. In a roundtable discussion anchored by Dr. Reveles, leaders from the Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist communities will discuss how each of their faiths understands evil within the context of contemporary society, using the classic story of Faust as a starting point. The panel will explore Faust’s contract with Méphistophélès to give insight into how individuals and communities, even nations, make “deals with the devil” in order to cope with daily life. 4. “A Collision of Old and New: Rococo, Art Nouveau and the World of Der Rosenkavalier,” 7 p.m. March 1, San Diego Museum of Art, Balboa Park. Dr. John Marciari, Ph.D., curator of European art at the museum and Dr. Reveles will discuss the two worlds represented in Richard

5. “Der Rosenkavalier: The Role of Sacrifice in Relationships,” 7 p.m. March 8 at Torrey Pines Christian Church, 8320 La Jolla Scenic Drive North, La Jolla. The touching moment at the end of Der Rosenkavalier when the Marschallin gives up her relationship with the young Octavian becomes a jumping off point for a discussion between Rev. Dr. Michael Spitters, lead pastor of Torrey Pines Christian Church and Dr. Reveles.Does sacrifice in relationships mean a complete nega-

tion of self?Is there a place for selflessness in a world that surrounds us with examples of looking after one’s own needs to the expense of others?

6. “Carmen on the Couch: A Study in Dysfunctional Relationships,” 7 p.m. April 25, Carlsbad Public Library, Schulman Auditorium, 1775 Dove Lane. Psychotherapist Gita Morena, coordinator of the Sandplay Therapy Studies Program at UCSD Extension and a doctor of Transpersonal Psychology, joins Dr. Reveles to look at the dysfunctional relationship of the two main characters in Bizet’s Carmen — Don José and the gypsy seductress. What happens when a classic obsessive personality meets a free spirit? Through the application of myth and Jungian analysis guests will get a closer look at what goes wrong in a popular opera that ends badly for everybody.

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 “home buyer pool” is local and successful agents use papers to attract the best leads— while the Internet is best used in a “support” 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 town—if you could even find them all...which you can’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 paper’s long-term credibility with readers. When your home is listed or shown in this paper, it benefits from the paper’s thorough reporting and “believability”.

✔ 70% - 80% of home-buyers, buy locally. ✔ The La Jolla Light is delivered by the Postal Service ... to each resident’s home. ✔ Those most likely to purchase your home read The Light. ✔ Each week The Light features HOMES SOLD in 92037 and their actual price. ✔ The Light and it’s sister publications, reaches 9 of the 10 wealthiest zip codes in San Diego. ✔ These publications reach 200,000 “qualified” home buyers—every week. ✔ Serious home buyers are reading these publications to find “prestigious” homes & estates, like yours. ✔ The top agents in La Jolla advertise in The Light, because it sells homes. Ask your agent if they are using the La Jolla Light and sister publications. If not, have your agent call the La Jolla Light at 858-875-5945 and ask for Claire to get your home sold faster.

Q. Christina: I’m glad to see your column in The Light. I’m surprised there isn’t a similar column in the Auto Club’s “Westways” magazine. The reason I am writing: I have a 2003 Honda Dave Stall CRV with around 93,000 miles. I suspect I’ll be keeping it for another two or three years, possibly longer. I don’t want to take money out of investments to replace it and cannot afford a loan at this time. Is this particular year/make/model worth the ‘nickel and diming’ that comes with older cars? Also, can you recommend a non-dealer quality mechanic for this car in the UTC/Clairemont/Mission Valley areas? A. Dave: You have a good vehicle and with proper maintenance you should get 300,000 miles out of it. The key to longevity is to follow the “severe section” in your owner’s manual. Try and insist on Honda parts when you can and you should get an easy three more years out of her, maybe more. A good shop in your area is Convoy Auto. Stop by and tell them I sent you. Q. Sally: Would you buy a used hybrid vehicle. If so, which one? I like the Toyota Prius but the Honda would be OK as well. A. Dave: If you must have a Hybrid then you must first look at where you are going to drive. If you do more freeway driving, then either the Honda Civic or Toyota Prius would be fine. If you do more city driving then the Toyota would give you better

by Dave Stall

mileage. Before you buy a Hybrid I would look at a lot of other cars that get great mileage like the Mini Cooper, Volkswagen Jetta and Toyota Yaris just to name a few. If the battery on your Hybrid dies, you are talking more money than the vehicle is worth and extended warranties do not cover the battery pack — be aware! Q. Ken: I just purchased a new car and my question is, do you recommend using any of those products that keep the dash shiny? I have never bought a new car and I want to keep this car for as long as I’m driving so I want to take really good care of it. Do you have any other suggestions to keep my new car new all the time? I love your column and because of your review I bought the Camry and love it! Thanks! A. Dave: You bought a great car and to keep it in tiptop shape, you need to follow the maintenance guide in your owner’s manual. There should be a section on exterior care in the book as well. I don’t like putting chemicals on dashes or door panels because they may have a tendency to dry out when you lose the enthusiasm of having a new car. What I would do is buy a good car cover. The next recommendation is to stay out of automated car wash systems. Either do it yourself or have it detailed by hand. Lube the doors, trunk and hood hinges once a year with good lithium grease. Keep tire dressings on your tires — it will help to keep them from cracking. Try and park out away from other vehicles and only wax the car when it needs it (your detailer will help you there). Use nothing but factory parts on your car and the road should be long and rewarding. Oh — one more thing — stay away from cheap gasoline!

Beat goes on at Bronowski Forum with lecture on music and the brain Kicking off the 13th year of Bronowski Forum presentations with the 112th lecture will be renowned neuroscientists Aniruddh D. Patel and John Iversen, and celebrated UCSD music professor Steven Schick speaking at 7 p.m. Jan. 13 in the Neuroscience Institute auditorium. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;trioâ&#x20AC;? will present an evening interlaced with performances and insight into the inner workings of the brain to reveal how instrumental music reflects speech and language, how beat becomes an endogenous product of the mind, and the role culture plays in rhythm perception. The public is invited to the free forum curated by Ron Newby to â&#x20AC;&#x153;bridge the divide between art and science.â&#x20AC;? Patelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work focuses on music and the brain as an Esther Burnham Senior Fellow in Theoretical Neurobiology at The Neurosciences Institute. He is the author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music, Language, and the Brainâ&#x20AC;? (2008, Oxford University Press), and is president of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition

Percussion professor and performer Steven Schick

Neuroscientists John Iversen, Ph.D. and Aniruddh Patel, Ph.D.

(musicperception.org). Iversen is anassociate fellow in theoretical neurobiology at The Neurosciences Institute. Iversonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research is devoted to understanding how humans actively create a rich and detailed view of the world from sensory stimuli. Fundamental to this work is the use of rhythm as a tool for the study of complex brain processes. Schick, a distinguished professor of music at UCSD and a consulting artist in percussion at the Manhattan School of Music, has championed contemporary

percussion music by commissioning and premiering more than 100 works for percussion. In 2007, Schick became music director and conductor of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus. He was the percussionist of the Bang on a Can All-Stars of New York City (1992-2002) and from 2000 to 2004 served as artistic director of the Centre International de Percussion de GenĂ¨ve in Switzerland. Schick is founder of the percussion group, red fish blue fish, and author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Percussionistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art: Same Bed, Different Dreams.â&#x20AC;?

Through Eveoke, he made his choreographic debut with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hip Hop is Everywhereâ&#x20AC;? (2006), an exploration of the movement on a global and personal note. He also choreographed for San Diego Dance Theater's Trolley Dances (2007) and debuted the modern-hip hop fusion piece, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Arrange i+n koncert,â&#x20AC;? with Katie Griffin at Emerge (2009).
