Calling for help in La Jolla Police, fire officials aiming to improve response times
By Joe TaSh olice and fire agencies from La Jolla to Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe are working to maintain or even improve emergency response times in the face of challenges such as increased traffic congestion and tight local government budgets. Although clogged roads can impede emergency responders, innovations in technology and cooperative agreements between agencies can help them reach people faster, officials said. In the city of San Diego, whose jurisdiction includes La Jolla and Carmel Valley, the Fire-Rescue Department said response times are expected to decrease after “rolling brownouts” — in which staffing was reduced across the city for budget reasons — ended on July 1. San Diego Fire Chief Javier Mainar said that prior to the brownouts, the Fire-Rescue Department responded to emergency calls within 5 minutes 54 percent of the time. He According to Mainar, there said the department expects to reare three components to turn to that level of service now that response times by firefighters: first, the rolling brownouts have ended. the time it takes for dispatchers to The most recent statistics from receive the call and assign it to fiscal year 2010 show average firefighters; second, the time it takes responses ranging from 5 minutes firefighters to stop what they are and 16 seconds (5:16) to 6:33 in La doing, put on the appropriate gear Jolla and from 6:18 to 7:35 in and roll out the door; and third, the Carmel Valley.

Editor’s note: As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Light is sharing several stories about people who have survived the disease as well as those working to improve their odds. Today we profile Bird Rock resident Lisa Hinkley, who owns Green Flash Brewing Company with her husband Mike. Lisa Hinkley was on vacation last July when she began reading Kelly Corrigan’s book, “The Middle Place.” She credits this book with inspiring her to perform her own selfexam that led her to find a large lump which an MRI revealed was a 5-centimeter tumor. In May, after surgery and chemotherapy,

Bao Nguyen, owner of Elite Nails at 7544 Fay Ave., said it was his wife Ha Lai’s idea to spruce up their neighborhood by adding a cute little rock garden with African Milk Tree and other cacti along with a miniature water fountain in front of their salon. “Bernini’s next door has torches lit up at night — fire — so the idea behind our display was yin and yang, having water to go along with the fire to create harmony.” Nguyen said the salon gets lots of passersby and Ha wanted their salon front to “look pleasurable for locals and tourists alike.”

Fire hazards: Right down La Jolla’s streets By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com In La Jolla you don’t have to go far to find a high-risk wildfire hazard area. In fact, there’s one just down the block from Fire Station 16 at 2110 Via Casa Alta on Mount Soledad. “What you have here is light, flashy fuels like this that don’t burn very hot, but they burn fast — get the fire from Point A to Point B,” said Eddie Villavicencio, fire prevention supervisor for San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Gesturing toward a vacant lot with dry brush on top of a steep canyon rim he added, “Then, when you come down here (in the chaparral) this is where you get your intense fire that burns hotter and takes copious amounts of water to put out.” As an older established neighborhood, La Jolla has dated infrastructure — narrow streets, widely spaced fire hydrants, wooden and overhanging roofs, etc. — that creates problems for firefighters. “We’ve had to have vehicles moved so an ambulance and a fire engine can enter with cars parked on both sides of the street,” said Capt. Ed Cardenas of Station 16, noting access is also key during a
wildfire because “evacuation is the number one priority.” “What we try to get a homeowner to do is create a defensible space by a selective trimming and pruning of the vegetation, controlling the fire by reducing its fire fuel load,” said Villavicencio. “Reducing the height of the vegetation reduces the height of the flame. Reducing the density of the fuel load reduces the intensity of the fire. By spacing it (vegetation) out, you space out the speed of the fire.” Villavicencio stressed firefighting in La Jolla and throughout San Diego is year-round because it’s a dry desert. He added major fire events can happen any time of year, but especially when people’s guards are down. That reality isn’t lost on community planners like Joe LaCava, who believes La Jolla isn’t being proactive enough in addressing wildfire preparedness. “We tend to forget we are full of open space and canyons and that the urban-wildland interface is right in our own backyard,” he said, noting some La Jollans, spared the devastation of the past two major wildfire events, think being so close to the coast and water grants them immunity.
eddie villavicencio points out potential trouble spots on Mount Soledad. DAVE SCHWAB
Even the smallest fire can become big under the right conditions, noted LaCava, citing a small Sept. 26 brush fire on Avenida Amantea in Bird Rock started accidentally by hot barbecue coals that was quickly extinguished as a case where “we were lucky with very fast response from firefighters and the winds were just right.” “But if we’d had different winds or drier conditions — it could have
turned out much worse,” he warned. There’s a two-step approach to wildlife preparedness. “One is work hand-in-hand with the city to do brush management on city-owned canyons and open space,” LaCava said. “The other is to get more organized, start a systematic neighbor-to-neighbor conversation about what you need to do to make your house more de-
fensible in the event of a wildfire.” Helping communities organize to prepare for wildfires is what The Fire Safe Council of San Diego County, a state nonprofit formed in 1997 to provide education, exchange information, and foster fire prevention and fire safety, is all about.

From Hazards, a4 vegetation “issues” with all its canyons and steep slopes, Marty Leavitt, president of the regional council, said it’s a lot easier to organize “on a neighborhood basis where you have more commonality of issues and concerns.” She added neighbors need to “take responsibility for their own properties” in clearing brush to maintain 100 feet of defensible space as required by law. “It’s not just clearing brush but hardening the structure — removing stacks of wood, debris, furniture, fencing, anything that can catch on fire,” she said. Noting late September through early November is “our most vulnerable time for wildfires,” Robert Balfour, senior forecaster for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in San Diego said, “We’re predicting at least two moderate, off-shore Santa Ana wind events with rainfall likely occurring in early November in Southern California.” He added the weather forecast is for normal rainfall so “the fire outlook from October through December looks pretty good based on that.”

Exercise & Brain Health A recent study provides strong evidence that regular exercise may protect and even improve brain function. Researchers at the University of Washington found that seniors with mild-cognitive impairment (often a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease) showed significant gains in mental agility after a 6-month program of supervised aerobic training. The non-aerobic group, however, continued to decline over the same time period in thinking speed, fluency with words, and ability to multi-task. In addition to slowing the rate of mental decline, exercise can help reduce falls and increase endurance, strength & flexibility. Alzheimer’s patients who perform stretching, balance, and strength training as part of a physical therapy program typically exhibit improvement in their mood as well. Physical therapists also use techniques to improve fine & gross motor skills, making daily activities easier - from picking up the morning paper to walking safely. The professional therapists at Ability Rehab will design a customized program to restore and maintain maximum movement & function, while helping to prevent further mental decline. If you or a loved one has noticed a decline in mental or physical capacity, call our office to see how we can help. P.S. Please join us on Sat 10/22/11 for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Balboa Park.

Scuba diver found dead near Children’s Pool NBCsaNdiego.Com A 35-year-old Oceanside scuba diver was found dead in the water outside the Children’s Pool on Sunday. His body was spotted by someone walking past the area. Lifeguards said the man washed up along the reefs near a beach called “Hospital Point” just south of the Children’s Pool area. He was identified as Jimmy Somphirigna
Tanovan. A resident said they had seen him hours earlier diving for lobsters, according to the Medical Examiner’s office. Emergency crews attempted to perform CPR but said it was apparent the man had been dead for several hours. The diver was wearing full scuba gear. Lifeguards impounded the gear and will transfer it to Scripps Institute of Oceanography to assess if there were any malfunctions in the gear.

Ahoy, La Jolla
he crew from the submarine USS La Jolla — including La Jolla High graduate Lt. j.g. Travis Dziubla — visited town last week. They stopped at La Jolla High, Muirlands Middle School and The Children’s School. They also were treated to lunch at Alfonso’s by Shirley Wilson, who, with her late husband Bob, was a sponsor of the submarine. It was originally to be named the San Diego, but when it was discoved that another
Navy ship had that name, then Congressman Bob Wilson stepped in and asked that it be named La Jolla. The 360-foot fast-attack submarine of the Los Angeles class, based at Pearl Harbor, was in San Diego for the 30th anniversary of its commissioning. Before pulling in at Naval Station Point Loma, the La Jolla took part in exercises to prepare for its next deployment, according to the Navy. More photos online

Riford Center side entrance nixed By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com The Riford Center will not be required to have a temporary construction entrance for the disabled on Bonair Street, the center board’s president said Monday. Glen Rasmussen said in an e-mail to the Light that the city attorney’s office has ruled that “during construction (the ambulatory disabled) can continue to enter and exit the Riford Center by the rear door. The city has also mandated the second construction entrance must be in the front of the building.” Rasmussen added the Friends’ board believes “these city directives may insulate the board from liability that may arise from the alternatives the city has mandated.” The news was welcomed by neighbors. “People just want the Riford’s front entrance to be accessible to the disabled and

do not want a side entrance on Bonair Street: That’s all the community wants,” said Frances O’Neill Zimmerman adding, “Nobody’s complaining about the Riford’s programs or the Riford’s new mission.” Last week, after hearing Zimmerman and other residents’ protests about the temporary side entrance, planning group trustees referred the matter back to the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Committee for further review. The PDO Committee gives input on local projects to the planning group, which then sends its recommendations to the city based on conformance with La Jolla’s rules and regulations. Rasmussen said Riford is not required to go back to the PDO for additional public review but added that’s a decision to be made by the Riford board.

Iraqi boy’s story inspires new LJHS club
Hiking to ... Los Angeles?
Teens reach out to make a difference through volunteering By Mojy yavari Special to the Light At the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year, a new club named Children of the World was created at La Jolla High School. It started with five members — Jahan Tajran, Stephen Wilkinson, Mehrdad Ghamaty, Mehran Ghamaty, and Alex Wong. This year they hope to have 25 more. Its founder and president, Jahan, had met a little Iraqi refugee boy who had shared with him his life story but also his struggles with school. Jahan in turn shared this boy’s story with his friends at school and together they came up with the mission for this club. “This club helps the students with English and mathematics, and they also enjoy an after school activity,” Jahan said. “Some of the parents don’t speak English fluently and can’t help their kids with school work. This is where we came in with the tutoring. We also had more time one on one to help the students understand concepts that were not understood the first time. “ He noted that the “students’ grades improved and so did their attitude and outlook, and, in the after-school activities, that included soccer and basketball, they learned about team work.” Once their mission was agreed to by all founding members, they chose Anza Elementary School of El Cajon as a spot to volunteer. During the school year, each club member contributed up to 70 hours to fourth- and fifth-grade students. Their hard work paid off when John Marshall Elementary School also requested their volunteering. Each Children of the World club member helped with an additional 25 hours to this school.
Children of the World members include, standing from left, jahan Tajran, Matt Twohig, Mehran Ghamaty, ricky Naiton, Chance Miller, Mehrdad Ghamaty, and Ethan Bark and, seated from left, Stephen Wilkinson, alex Wang, and Eric Ly. COURTESY “It was so exciting to see the kids,” Mehran said. “They were genuinely happy to see us and that made all the hard work worth it. It was very rewarding for us to find out that the kids’ scores improved. We look forward to do the same this year.” By the end of the 2010-2011 school year, the club had 14 members. It is anticipated that by the end of this year, the club will have increased to 30 members thereby being able to help more students. “The plan for this year is to have more students participate in this club because we know we can make a difference for each and every kid. It has been a positive experience for everyone involved,” Jahan said. “A difference can be made — it just takes some time. We live in a very generous world and children are our world.” Mehrdad added, “If you are a LJHS student and want to help, please stop any of us and join the club.”

n Tuesday afternoon, La Jolla photographer Sharon Hinckley spotted four hikers carrying bundles of sticks on their backs at the Encon Gas Station at Torrey Pines and La Jolla Shores Drive. Curious, she asked what they were up to and learned that Greg Spencer, Woodbury Roland, Jordan Mellul and Austin Mann were just starting on a walk from San Diego to Los Angeles that they expect to finish on Oct. 13. She said they told her they are walking for The Paradigm Project to draw attention to women around the world that they say go to painstaking lengths every day just to cook for their families. Their goal is to raise money to buy basic $40 stoves to improve the lives of people in developing countries, with the side benefit of reducing carbon emissions.To learn more, go to theparadigmproject.org or text 44836

FROM EMERGENCY, A1 stations, road and traffic conditions in a community and fire department staffing levels. In order for San Diego to move closer to the 6-minute responsetime goal, 10 new fire stations and nine roving “fast response teams” of two firefighters each are needed, according to a city-commissioned study by Citygate Associates LLC which came out in February. “At the city’s desired firefighting response time performance measures, there are just not enough fire crews and stations in all areas,” said the report. “It starts by the community identifying what they want the outcome to be,” said Mainar. “You tell us what you want us to accomplish, the fire department, the police department, we’ll tell you the resource levels we need to do that.” Part of the challenge, said Mainar, is that as the city has grown, it

■ Working together In North County, cooperation between four different fire departments serving Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, Del Mar and Encinitas has helped keep response times level, when otherwise they might have risen due to increased population, said Darrin Ward, deputy chief of operations for the four agencies. Among the cooperative agreements between the departments is sharing battalion chiefs and consolidating management functions such as finance, training and administration. Beyond the four departments, agencies across North
County have combined their dispatch centers, and adopted a policy of boundary drops, meaning the closest unit will respond to a fire or medical emergency, no matter where the emergency occurs or which agency the unit belongs to. “We don’t have city borders like we had 23 years ago when I started,” Ward said. “Even though we’re not one county fire department, the guys on the floor, they act like it.

leveled off,” Ward said. Geography also plays a part in response times, he said. Rancho Santa Fe tends to have longer response times because each station covers 9.4 square miles. The entire city of Del Mar is just 2 square miles in area, while Solana Beach covers 3.6 square miles. Overall, Rancho Santa Fe has a lower call volume than more urbanized areas and is mostly residential, while in contrast the cities have more commercial areas and taller buildings, Ward said. ■ Getting police to emergencies Capt.

sponse of 9:02, according to department statistics. In 2010, the citywide average police response time for emergency calls was 6:30 minutes, said Capt. Lori Luhnow, of Northwestern Division, which includes Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights and North City and other areas. Carmel Valley — at an average of 6:46 — is right in line with the citywide figure. The community had the lowest call volume among the city’s nine divisions, Lunhow noted. In the incorporated cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach, which contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department for police services, responses came more quickly: averaging 4 minutes in Solana Beach and 4:36 in Del Mar. Rancho Santa Fe also utilizes sheriff’s services for emergencies, but uses CHP for traffic, so comparable times aren’t available. However, the community’s response time for calls such as robbery, vehicle theft and burglary came in at 16:42.

From EmErgEncy, A12 According to John Firman, director of research with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the group does not have guidelines for police response times due to two factors: the significant differences between 18,000 police agencies across the United States, and the many variables that go into how police respond to emergencies, and how quickly they respond, such as their vehicles, equipment, staffing, number of calls, type of calls, geography, terrain, etc. “Our position is this is a uniquely local number based on the satisfaction of police and their citizens,” Firman said. n Impact of traffic, road conditions Traffic is one of the key factors that affect response times, especially during morning and afternoon rush hours, Guaderrama said. The layout of a neighborhood’s roads can also have an impact. Detective Gary Hassen, a San Diego police spokesman, said average response times in La Jolla are higher than in Carmel Valley, and part of the reason is that La Jolla is an older community, with daily traffic bottlenecks at its major entrance and exit points. “There’s significant geographical barriers you have to deal with, and traffic congestion,” he said. “That’s why some communities have faster response times than others.” n The public can help Authorities can do their part to reduce response times, but there are some things residents can do as well. With the proliferation of cell phones, many people grab their cell phone to make a

9-1-1 emergency call, even when a landline is nearby, said Ward. But a landline call can often be dispatched more quickly, because the caller’s address is displayed on the dispatcher’s monitor and does not have to be typed in. “If you’re in a home or business and there is a regular phone, use that phone,” Ward said. “It’s quicker for them to get the guys or gals rolling to your house.” Another thing people can do is to pull over when a fire truck, ambulance or police car approaches from behind with its lights and siren on, officials said. “If you see that patrol car with its lights and siren, we’re going to need you to pull

over to the right shoulder,” Northern Division’s Guaderrama said. Another way residents can help police respond more quickly to emergencies is to use the department’s non-emergency line, (619) 531-2000, or website to report thefts and other less serious crimes, Luhnow said. “If they use those services, it’s quicker for them and it doesn’t tie up an officer to come take a report, leaving them more available for proactive work or emergency calls,” she added. n Crime rate in decline Budget cuts have challenged police managers to do more with less in recent years, but favorable crime trends have helped — a re-
port issued earlier this year by the San Diego Association of Governments noted that crime in San Diego County hit a 30-year low in 2010, at 3.61 violent crimes and 21.04 property crimes per 1,000 residents. In spite of the downward trend in crime statistics, police seem to be keeping as busy as ever, said Capt. Sherri Sarro of the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station, crime-fighting headquarters for Encinitas, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach. “Even though crime is down, it doesn’t mean calls for service are down,” Sarro said. “I think overall, we’re still doing what the public expects of us, and using our deputies in the best way we can,” she said.

From Survive, A1 A: I was first diagnosed on Aug. 17, 2010. I was originally diagnosed with DCIS, but later found to have Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, that had spread to the sentinal lymph node. Q: What type of treatment did you receive? A: I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction, on Oct. 5, followed by four rounds of chemotherapy, which started on Nov. 4 and finished on Jan. 4. Q: Was there any one person/thing/routine that served as your rock during this time? Lisa Hinkley A: My husband Mike was definitely my rock during that time. He put everything on hold for me, and made himself available for all doctors appointments and any other support I needed. It was so great to have him at the appointments. I was so overwhelmed that I would forget things the doctor said, yet he remembered everything. Also, while I was going through diagnosis and treatment, Green Flash was in the midst of a major brewery expansion as well as a complete packaging redesign. Focusing on these projects helped take my mind off the severity of the situation and staying busy made the time pass quickly. I would be remiss not to mention all of my amazing friends who were a beacon
of light during this time. They sent constant messages, offering support and prayers, and I felt so loved and cared for! Another dear and supportive gesture which I truly appreciated: My son Michael arranged for his school’s football team — the Bishop’s Knights — to wear pink socks and wristbands at football games during October. Q: How did this diagnosis impact your finances? Did you have any insurance struggles? A: I am fortunate to have very good health insurance coverage, so my outof-pocket expenses were minimal. Q: Did this diagnosis impact your work? If so, how? A: Because we are self-employed, I was lucky to have the flexibility to go to doctor’s appointments and take whatever time I needed during treatment. Everyone at our company was extremely supportive. Q: Is there anything about this experience you want people to know, that they may not know or is not commonly known? A: Mammograms, although extremely valuable, are not a fail-safe diagnosis.I found my very large tumor through selfexam, only three months after my mammogram came back negative. Women with dense breast tissue need to be especially vigilant about self-exams, and if anything does not look or feel right, insist on additional tests (i.e., ultrasound, biopsy). Breast cancer, if detected early, is 100 percent treatable.

Did you know? • One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. • The most significant risk factors are being a female and getting older. • Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate. • Breast cancer typically strikes women during their most productive years, both professionally and personally. • Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in U.S. women ages 40-59. • Men can get breast cancer, too. One percent of breast cancer diagnosis will be in male patients. — Source: Susan G. Komen for the Cure San Diego

He’s always been interested in underwater photography, Chow said. Now, with the addition of Hinkel, an awardwinning underwater photographer and former customer to his shop’s photographic mix “it’s all come full circle.” Hinkel, who’s done underwater photography since 1972, said, “We’re going to have everything for everyone from beginners to very advanced.” Now, he added, he has a

Chow said C & H would continue to provide all the services it did as Nelson’s. With the addition of an underwater division in the store, all supplies needed to shoot beneath the waves, including surf camera housings, will be available for purchase.
“It’s something we needed in Southern California,” said Chow, adding it doesn’t hurt that C & H is just a couple of blocks from the ocean. C & H intends to teach classes on underwater photography to educate the public so they can take better pictures, he added. Store hours are 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Organic produce shop coming to Bird Rock By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Bird Rock is about to get its own locally grown organic produce outlet. And the neighborhood might also soon have a wine shop, although that venture is still working its way through approvals so details haven’t been announced. Farm to Fork, co-owned by La Jollans John Hart and business partner Jamie Cleveland, is opening at the end of October in a 500-square-foot space being remodeled at 5604 La Jolla Blvd., Suite B, next to Starbucks. The business will sell produce only. “We want to cater to people in this whole slow-food movement, helping them buy the highest quality fruits and vegetables for their families to enjoy every day,” said Hart. He was inspired by a recent overseas trip to Italy where he was “overwhelmed by the quality of their locally grown organic produce,” he added. Joe Parker, president of Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC), said the community is “thrilled about the news of this new venture,” noting residents “have repeatedly expressed their desire for the opportunity to
purchase organic produce in the neighborhood.” Even though “the business plan does not provide a means of support for Bird Rock Elementary (BRE) as originally contemplated by the proponents of a farmers market in Bird Rock, we hope this venture at least meets the community’s desire to purchase produce in a local setting from local farmers,” he added. The details about Farm to Fork are yet to be worked out, but Hart said it will likely be open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. He added the new business would include an educational component teaching people the nutritional value of food. Two previous attempts to get some sort of market in Bird Rock died on the vine. Now, those in need of groceries have to head to Vons in the Village or into Pacific Beach. Last March, a proposal for the market in front of La Jolla Methodist Church was abandoned after stiff resistance was encountered from neighbors. An earlier effort by Michael Krambs to develop Bird Rock Station — that would have included a gourmet grocery and deli below
Fork to Farm will open at the end of October next to Starbucks at 5604 La Jolla Blvd. condominiums at the corner of Bird Rock Avenue and La Jolla Boulevard — ran into neighborhood opposition as well. A lawsuit claiming its three-story design violated local zoning was filed, and in Febru-
ary 2010 a Superior Court judge ordered an environmental impact report for the mixeduse project. Krambs said recently that and the slow economy have led him to nix immediate plans for developing the site.

But 65 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelry, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business. Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981. Since then, he and wife Sheila of 37 years, have been the go-to for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs and exceptional, personalized service.

chelsea King has a way of protecting california children By Brent King Co-founder/President, Chelsea’s Light Foundation Although she is no longer able to roll up her sleeves in community service as she so often did, Chelsea King continues to work for the well being of others through the California legislation that now bears her name. Signed into law one year ago, Chelsea’s Law (AB1844) enacted legal reforms to further protect children from violent sexual offenders. Put simply, our objective in advocating for this legislation was to protect our children from “the worst of the worst” — sexual predators who target children. With 19 people charged in San Diego County under Chelsea’s Law, we believe we are meeting our objective here at home. (In order for Chelsea’s Law to be applied, the crime must have occurred after Sept. 9, 2010.) Chelsea’s Light Foundation is now reaching out to district attorneys offices across the state to aggregate similar data from their counties for an accurate 12-month analysis of the law’s impact.
Our hope is that the number will decrease over time as we restrict this segment of the population with not just longer prison and probation terms, but also two other key pieces of Chelsea’s Law, enhanced GPS monitoring during parole and probation and a first-of-its-kind in California “containment model” for monitoring and assessing that includes the use of polygraph testing. Today, however, the containment model languishes due to a lack of funding. Funding decisions by our legislators evidence what they view as our greatest community priorities. Carefully monitoring released felons who previously sexually assaulted a child should be one of those unmistakable, non-negotiable priorities. We are committed to holding legislators and responsible agencies accountable for this priority and have begun to focus our efforts on seeking ways to fund enhanced GPS monitoring and the containment model to keep our children safe from these released criminals. Chelsea’s Light Foundation is a San Diego County nonprofit dedicated to the safety and well being of children. Learn more at www.chelseaslight.org.

Where can La Jolla residents recycle compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)? The two locations I can find don’t seem to make sense as one would use a lot of gasoline to drive there. Apparently it is against the law to dispose of the CFLs in solid waste trash or recycling. City staffers say you’re right about there not being any spots in La Jolla. Here are some options: • City of SD’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility at the City’s Miramar Landfill, north of Highway 52 at 5180 Convoy St. Open Saturdays by appointment only. Call (858) 694-7000 to make an appointment or go to http://tinyurl. com/3p3tm7u. • Home Depot, 4255 Genesee Ave., (858) 2778910 or other Home Depots in San Diego.

Take a look for signs elsewhere In response to Craig Morgan, who seems to condone the continued use of so-called Aframe signs, I have a suggestion: Drive up to Del Mar or over to Coronado and — surprise — you won’t see them. Is business bad in these places because owners are prevented by the law from placing signs on the sidewalks? Hardly. The truth is, business is better because visual pollution is rare, which makes it welcoming and suggestive of success. Nothing succeeds like success. Likewise, the existence of billboards, banners, signs and other man-made visual elements, meant to drum up busi-

ness, leads instead to a situation in which the overall aesthetic features of the town decline. It’s a vicious cycle. Thus, I commend the La Jolla Light for highlighting this burgeoning problem and for stressing that, like it or not, A-frame signs are illegal for a reason — a reason that in fact has much to do with encouraging more business, not less. James P. Rudolph La JoLLa
Another side to the A-frame signs debate This subject should not even be up for debate. A-frame signs, banners up over 30 days, and oversized signs are all a violation of our Municipal Code. This law was created to prevent the very clutter that now litters Pearl Street and more and more of our Village. The A-frames are not “great little signs,” but an example of putting profit before the public. A business with a bad sign is a sign of bad business. We can easily support our merchants without having to endure the obstacle course that exists now. Some stores have more than one A-frame plus a banner. I ask that the merchants remove the illegal A-frames and the old faded banners voluntarily and enjoy the improvement in business and the view. The sign spinners are as of yet not illegal FYI, but just as annoying. Chris Cott Windansea
Sharks, seals and La Jollans l. Jordan-smith, Ph.d. La Jolla resident Since moving here, I have enjoyed reading the Light, however some contributions are upsetting. A letter published on Sept. 8 frightens residents that “great white sharks have arrived,” implicating seals as the reason. White sharks in this area are not a new phenomenon. There is no evidence that their movements are related to seal presence, or that their numbers are increasing. White sharks are actually listed as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List. Most of these sharks in Southern California are juveniles that feed on fishes, not marine mammals, and they are more common in the summer, not when it gets colder. If sharks are not a valid concern for keeping seals off of the beach, what is? Other arguments relate to beach safety, claiming the beach the seals like, referred to as “Children’s Pool” is the safest for children. This was also refuted in a letter from a former lifeguard. The ocean will never be a “kiddie pool.” That doesn’t mean children of all ages can’t enjoy it, but anyone entering the ocean should understand that there are dangers. Thousands die annually from drowning while typically less than 10 worldwide die from shark interactions. The number suffering

Hormone fights fat with fat
Research Report By lynne Friedmann There are two types of body fat: white fat that stores energy and brown fat (packed with blood vessels and mitrochondria) that burns white fat. Long thought to disappear after infancy, brown fat has been rediscovered in adults humans using new imaging technology. Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute researchers now report the discovery of orexin; a hormone that activates calorie-burning brown fat in mice. Orexin deficiency is associated with obesity, suggesting that supplemental orexin could lead to a new class of fat-fighting drugs focused on peripheral fat-burning tissue rather
than the brain’s appetite control center which is the aim of most current weightloss agents. The research was conducted at Sanford-Burnham’s Diabetes and Obesity Research Center, in Orlando, Fla., and is reported in the journal Cell Metabolism. News release at http://bit.ly/okWXeh. Immune memory where it is needed most La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology researchers have identified a mechanism that generates protective immune “memory cells” at the body’s mucosal linings, the main entry points for many viruses and other infectious organisms. The discovery involves a distinct process by the body for establishing strong immunity at the mucosal borders — found in the mouth, intestines, lungs, and other areas — and identification of a molecule that shows when mucosal protective immune cells are in place.
The generation of pre-existing immune memory is the basis for successful vaccination. Heretofore, the protective quality of most vaccines has been judged by a robust memory T cell response in the blood and lymph nodes which doesn’t necessarily mean protective immunity has been generated in the intestines or at other mucosal borders. The team conducted experiments in mouse models using Listeria, currently in the news as the bacterial agent in a number of cantaloupe-contamination deaths. Findings are published in the journal Nature Immunology. News release at http://bit.ly/oDXuID. High-but-normal blood pressure a stroke risk High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and strokes, but less is known about the health threat posed by “prehypertension,” a clinical category created in 2003 to describe
patients whose blood pressure is elevated, but still within normal range. New insights are now available via a meta-analysis by researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine of published scientific literature seeking to determine the extent of prehypertension risk and whether particular characteristics were associated with higher stroke risk. Their findings: People with prehypertension have a 55 percent higher risk of experiencing a stroke than people without prehypertension. Combined, the studies reviewed involved more than 518,000 participants from the United States, Japan, China, and India. The results of the analysis held regardless of sex, race-ethnicity, blood pressure type (systolic or diastolic), or the type of stroke documented. Findings published in the journal Neurology. News release http://bit.ly/qlJTri. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.
SD Foundation expands civic engagement effort The San Diego Foundation recently announced the establishment of the Malin Burnham Center for Civic Engagement, advancing the foundation’s effort to find solutions to community issues. The idea behind the center is to create a movement of people coming together to solve problems, Bob Kelly, president and CEO of the Foundation, said in a recent interview. The hope is that the center will serve “as the hub of civic leadership for San Diego — a place that generates information and ideas, spurs vigorous conversations about San Diego’s future, helps launch ambition initiatives and contributes to the development of action plans,” a press release announcing the center states. Named for one of the county’s better known business and civic leaders, the center will afford county residents an opportunity to become part of the process, Kelly said. Burnham, a Point Loma resident, has shown his philanthropic nature through the Burnham Foundation, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and the countless positions on boards, committees and as a volunteer for multiple organizations. He established a $5 million endowment to help underwrite the civic engagement effort. The San Diego Foun-
Krill still drawing in blue whales City newS ServiCe Massive blue whales spotted unusually close to shore in La Jolla and Del Mar were likely attracted by an unusually abundant supply of krill, the result of this summer’s upwelling of cold ocean water, according to the executive director of the Birch Aquarium. Nigella Hillgarth, the head of the aquarium, said blue whales, the world’s largest mammals at 100
feet, are twice as long as the gray whales usually seen near land in San Diego. They also have less regular migration patterns than gray whales, she said. Hillgarth said she saw the spouts of at least three or four blue whales off Scripps Pier. A pod of as many as nine blue whales was spotted earlier. “This year, we’ve seen them closer than usual,’’ Hillgarth said.
From SealS, a18 from skin cancer dwarfs those drowning. There are real concerns for a day at the beach, but sharks are realistically, very low on that list. The dedication of people determined to keep seals off the beach is tremendous. I am humbled by the many greater problems facing our community, state and country that could benefit from this energy and commitment. “Shared use” is not possible when people are encouraged to populate the beach, thereby frightening the seals away. We are fortunate to have many lovely
beaches at our doorstep. I fail to understand why some are not content to enjoy them, leaving just this one as a special place to observe another species. For those concerned with increasing tourism, while the roads could certainly use improvement, promoting and celebrating seals, instead of banning seal images from community art projects, would do more for encouraging visitors than fixing a few cracks in the sidewalks. I hope we can all show our appreciation for this beautiful place through respect for each other, including other species.

dation will also provide operational funding for it. “I believe that if we each embody a commitment to community before self, we enhance our communities; we see safer neighborhoods and create a prosperous region,” he said in the release. “My hope is that the Center for Civic Engagement creates an epicenter for the convening of nonprofits, businesses, foundations, community leaders and government agencies to address the issues of our region.”
Bob Dynes, former president of the University of California and a former UCSD chancellor, is chairman of the center, which expects to hire a director by the end of the year. The San Diego Foundation is in the midst of an effort they’re calling “Our Greater San Diego Vision” initiative, engaging residents in developing “a vision plan and roadmap for our region’s future to create positive change,” said Jennifer Adams-Brooks, who chairs the foundation.
Lee Redson Schwamm, a long time resident of La Jolla, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 3, 2011. Born in London, England, Lee moved to the U.S. and lived for many years in Rye, New York, and Greenwich, Connecticut, before moving to La Jolla. Lee was actively involved in music, the arts, and the community. Lee was predeceased by her husband, Sidney Schwamm. She is survived by her sons, Garth R. Schwamm of Connecticut and Paul Anders Schwamm of the Philippines; sisters, Tricia Patterson of Tennessee and Joan Licht of Australia; and many loving relatives. She will also be missed by many caring friends.
A gathering of Lee’s family and friends was held Sunday, October 9, 2011, at the clubhouse of Villa La Jolla, 8540 Via Mallorca Drive, La Jolla.

Sprint, Toyota now have ‘official’ status with city By James R. Riffel City News Service The City Council on Monday unanimously approved marketing partnerships in which Toyota will provide nearly three dozen new vehicles to San Diego’s lifeguards and Sprint Solutions will provide wireless services. The two-year agreement with Toyota will provide lifeguards with 34 vehicles and could be worth as much as $1.1 million if renewed for an additional two years, according to Mary Lewis, the city’s chief financial officer. Toyota will be known as the “official vehicle’’ of San Diego’s lifeguards, and dealers can use the phrase in advertising and other promotional material. Since the city will not have to pay for new vehicles, about $245,000 will be saved annually, according to Lewis. Sprint will pay $100,000 for two years, with three oneyear options, and will be able to call itself the “official wireless partner of the city of San Diego.”

Challenged Athletes event one-of-a-kind By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com When Tara Butcher was in her early 20s, she says she wasn’t really that athletic. Fast-forward more than five years later, there’s no debate about Butcher’s athleticism, especially when it comes to endurance races. Butcher, who is now 29 and works at Armonia Skin Care in La Jolla, will be one of more than 125 of the world’s top physically challenged athletes who will compete on Oct. 23 at the 18th annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge. The event also has more than 500 ablebodied participants. “I wasn’t into triathlons or racing,” Butcher said. “I was the girl who would go to the gym occasionally and do the elliptical, but I was never athletic and never raced and trained.” That all changed when Butcher was fitted for a prosthetic on her left leg. When she was 22, Butcher was in a fender-bender and got our of her car to see the damage. When she did, she was struck by another car and broke both legs and severely injured her neck. The doctors put most of her body back together, but
Tara Butcher were unable to save her lower left leg. Once her injuries healed, she was given an opportunity by the Challenged Athletes Foundation to try out a running leg. “At that point you just want to try everything again and see what you can do,” Butcher said. What she found out was that she was not only driven to become an endurance athlete, but she was pretty good too. Since the accident,
Butcher has competed in a number of marathons, triathlons and has even climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. She has also been involved with CAF for five years now and will once again take part in their premier event in La Jolla on the 23rd. “I ask myself, ‘What would I be doing without this?’ I don’t know,” Butcher said. “I have always admired runners … but I don’t think I would have taken the initiative to push myself. The accident really gave me an extra push to really try everything and live life and push myself.” Danny Gabriel has always been a life-long athlete. Despite being born without a left hand, Gabriel excelled in sports at La Jolla Country Day and went on to play college soccer. Now 37, Gabriel has been a supporter and fundraiser for many years with CAF and has helped raise more than $150,000. “It’s one of the unique charities where the people who give to the the challenged athletes get just as much out of it as the people that are receiving the grants,” Gabriel said. “It works both ways.”

La Jolla volleyball set for 'Dig for the Cure' The La Jolla High girls volleyball team will hold its second annual "Dig for the Cure" event Wednesday, Oct. 19. The event is in conjunction with the team's senior night against University City High School. Proceeds from the event will go to the San Diego chapter of the Susan G. Komen For the Cure. Last year was the first year for the event. "I think it's going to be so fun," senior Ryan Farley said.
"Being able to do it again and keep it a tradition and build it up for years to come," Farley added. "I know we had a big turnout last year and I think the people who came last year are going to come back. We had so much fun, it was a spirited game." And the team won, too. The game will take place on the 19th at 5 p.m. at La Jolla High School. It is also the final regular-season game of the season for the Vikings.

What makes the Triathlon Challenge great for Gabriel is that it’s much different from other triathlons that he’s seen or participated in. “I think they all love it because it’s the one race that is
really not a race. When you’re running, normally you’re trying to beat the guy next to you … and CAF is totally different,” he said. “When you run past a person you try and lift them up by saying, ‘Good job, keep it up.’ It’s the only race where you see that sort of spirit in people.” For more information, go to www.challengedathletes. org.

10 questions
Biochemist Richard Ulevitch continues his lifelong quest to understand life sciences Richard Ulevitch was raised in Cleveland and studied at Washington and Jefferson College, B.A., and the University of Pennsylvania, Ph.D. He started a Fellowship at the University of Minnesota but was offered the chance to Richard Ulevitch come to The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). After meeting his wife of 37 years, Susan Slesinger, who had come to La Jolla to live in a beautiful place where she could also work as a clinical social worker, he decided to put down roots here. He became a TSRI faculty member in the Department of Immunology. In 1986, he moved to Geneva Switzerland to work for one year with Bernard Mach, a top European molecular biologist and one of Europe’s first biotechnology entrepreneurs. This relationship resulted in learning important new scientific approaches that Ulevitch applied on his return to TSRI in 1987. It also served as a unique beginning for his current endeavors. In 2008, he reduced efforts at TSRI and joined a life-science focused Venture Capital Fund (5AM Ventures). “I am still first-and-foremost a scientist,” he said, “but now use my professional experiences to build new biotech companies.” He joined the board of the La Jolla Jewish Community Center at the time the center was being planned. In 1985, he joined the La Jolla Playhouse board and remained a board member for 15 years.
What brought you to La Jolla? After finishing graduate school, a serendipitous set of events resulted in Charlie Cochrane, M.D., one of the founders of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), offering me a post-doctoral fellowship in immunology. Although moving to California was never on my “to do” list, this was the beginning of four decades in this community.

In many countries, chrysanthemums are a beautiful reminder that autumn has arrived. True. The flowers occur in various forms, and can be daisy-like, decorative, pompons or buttons. Chrysanthemums come in two basic groups — Garden Hardy and Exhibition. Garden hardies are defined by their ability to produce an abundance of small blooms with little if any staking, and can withstand wind and rain. Exhibition varieties require staking, over-wintering in a relatively dry cool environment, sometimes with the addition of night lights. Yellow or white chrysanthemum flowers of the species, C. morifolium, are boiled to make a sweet drink in Asia. Chrysanthemum tea has many medicinal uses, including an aid in recovery from influenza. In Korea, a rice wine flavored with chrysanthemum flowers is called gukhwaju. — mums.org

Artist Stephanie Paige readies exhibit for La Jolla Gallery Wine, Walk & Taste By Will BoWen “I don’t use brushes when I paint. I use trowels,” says Stephanie Paige, one of the featured artists at Contemporary Arts Gallery, 7946 Ivanhoe Ave. Paige will be at the gallery to greet visitors and discuss her technique at the upcoming La Jolla Wine Walk & Taste from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20. Paige uses marble powder, which she mixes with water and applies to pine wood panels with a trowel, to create oversized modern abstract mixed-media landscape paintings. She adds color with powdered pigments, which she swirls into the mix, and actual rust powder, applying all in layers that need about a day each to dry. Sometimes she will even place “found objects” — pieces of metal from the junkyard, rebar, or bits of sand and pebbles — into her creations. Paige has a proclivity for the colors blue and turquoise painted to look like a peaceful and serene seascape with the sky in the background. One such, titled “Wind & Sea,” recounts the time she paddled her kayak up to La Jolla from Mission Bay. She was swamped by 20 swells and required a lifeguard powerboat rescue. Sometimes Paige will switch things up by applying

In all of her art, the thing that grabs your attention is the play of chance — the way the colors swirl or melt by their own accord. The contrast of open space versus density of images is also important. There are often intriguing allusions or shadows in her landscapes, which are actually created by the mind of the viewer trying to make

sense of randomness and abstraction. The surfaces of Paige’s landscapes are textured, but surprisingly smooth when felt with the fingers, and she encourages patrons to “touch my art.” Even if a small piece of the marble plaster chips off one of her paintings that’s OK with her — she likes imperfection. She thinks every piece should have at least one. Paige’s work is decorative and influenced by an eye for design, interior decora-

tion, and architecture. Her paintings look great in the living room or bedroom, offering a pleasant meditative experience of peace and calm, which is derived from her interest in Buddhism and the idea of benevolence — mixed in with a good dose of a deep love of nature. Paige will often work with clients who commission her paintings by going into their homes so she can see the setting and the client’s

Scientist’s slideshow to tout orchid conservation
Peter Tobias
Peter Tobias will speak to the San Diego County Cymbidium Society about “Orchid Conservation through the Orchid Conservation Alliance,” 7 p.m. Oct. 19 in the Ecke Building at the San Diego Botanic Garden. An orchid culture class will precede the lecture at 6:30 p.m. In his non-orchid life, Tobias is a professor of immunology at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. He studies the mechanisms by which fatty plaques accumulate in the arteries and lead to
atherosclerosis. He points out that preserving orchids in the wild will probably not prevent atherosclerosis, however, lots of hiking to get to the orchids will probably slow its development, and growing orchids will make you happier, “both of which are good.” His presentation will include a slideshow from several orchid trips, highlighting a 2010 trip to Brazil’s Atlantic Rain Forest, and a 2011 trip to Colombia. The event is free and open to the public. For more details, call (760) 732-0055.
Children’s artwork needed for wounded Marines project The National Museum of the Marine Corps is conducting its “Art for Wounded Warriors” program for the second year, after receiving overwhelming support from youth across the country in its inaugural year. For 2011, the museum is working with the Wounded Warrior Regiment to distribute the artwork submitted by children and teens to brighten the
walls of hospitals from coast to coast. Those who wish to participate should create a picture and write a supportive message on an 8.5-inch x 11-inch piece of paper. Artists should also write their names, hometowns and grade levels on the back of their pictures. The museum will accept drawings, paintings or colorings from children of all ages and abilities.
All works of art must be submitted in a flat, rigid envelope postmarked by Dec. 10. Artwork becomes the property of the museum and cannot be returned. Mail all submissions to: The National Museum of the Marine Corps, Attn: Teacher-in-Residence, 18900 Jefferson Davis Highway, Triangle, VA 22172-193.
FROM WINE WALK, B4 needs and tastes. Paige was raised in the small town of Ortonville, Mich., on 10 acres of open woodsy land. Her father was a builder and her mother an artist. She describes her childhood self as, “a nature girl who loved and rescued animals.” After experiencing a broken heart, she said she threw a dart at a map of the USA and it landed on Tijuana, Mexico, so she made a call, packed up, and came out to San Diego for a job in an art store. She began her art career by painting murals for restaurants and clubhouses. Her work with faux- and Tuscany-styles evolved into her work with landscapes on wood panel. Paige is basically selftaught, although she had a

bit of art education at Farmington Hills Junior College in Michigan, and Palomar College out here. She said she begins each new painting without plans or a scheme, allowing the creative muse to direct her. “I’m overjoyed to be invited to show at Contemporary Arts Gallery,” she said. “It has been a dream for many years to be in that gallery. I submitted work for consideration to Contemporary in the past, but this is the first time I was accepted. This is a dream come true.” But then Paige believes in dreams. She says, “I love dreams! I believe that anything is possible for me ... and for others.”

Gloria Penner to join KPBS Hall of Fame San Diego’s public broadcasting station, KPBS, will host a Venetian Masquerade Ball to honor its 2011 Hall of Fame inductees: Gloria Penner, “for 40 years of service and outstanding dedication to KPBS,” and Danah Fayman and Carol and Dick Hertzberg “for their extraordinary gifts.” The black-tie affair, “KPBS Celebrates: Masquerade de Venezia,” is set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at the Lodge at Torrey Pines. The gala will double as a benefit for the station’s programs and services. Mark L. Walberg, host of PBS’ “Antiques Roadshow” will em-

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 What makes this area special to you? First and foremost is meeting my wife of 37 years, Susan, in La Jolla in 1972. La Jolla has so many features that distinguish it from other places I have lived — East Coast, Midwest, Europe. It remains a unique Southern California beach community and vacation destination for the rest of the world. We have world class educational and research institutions that have been here for decades and new ones added on a yearly basis. And the people who populate these institutions add incredible creativity, diversity and special skills to our community. At the same time, we have individual business owners who love this area and are committed to providing great services and venues for its residents. All of this is within easy reach from this seaside Village. How would you improve the area? • Return the Children’s Pool to the same condition it was in 1972. • Construct a safe pedes-

grandparents because of living far apart and due to the passing of all grandparents when our children were young. And none of the grandparents had the pleasure of watching their grandchildren grow into adulthood. This dinner would provide the opportunity to let our children and their grandparents make up for this gap in their respective lives.
Who inspires you? Here I narrowed my focus to members of this community who are inspirational. And in my mind two individuals really stand out — Ellen and Roger Revelle. I was privileged to know both. The Revelles were the moral compass of the community, setting the highest standards for themselves and expecting the same of others. Most importantly, they helped build and support educational and cultural organizations that form the core assets of what makes this community great. They set an example that many have followed. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? This dinner party would include my wife and two children Annie, 33, and David, 29, both the maternal and paternal grandparents and me. Our children had limited contact with their

a sculpted metal trumpet player stands over the patio doors.
Music inspires the menu, decor at Solana Beach’s Wild Note Cafe By Kelley Carlson he 60-seat, bistro-style restaurant — open daily for lunch and dinner — is tucked in among the shops, boutiques and galleries of the Cedros Avenue Design District. As expected, Wild Note Cafe’s main theme is music, and it’s reflected in much of the decor. A sculpted metal trumpet player hovers over the patio doors, where tiny, silver music notes add a bit of sparkle on the glass. Guitars, drums and various other instruments are displayed high above the semicircular bar that’s part of the indoor dining area; on the opposite side of the room, carved wooden band figures play underneath an American flag. A number of images hang on the cafe’s golden-hued walls, including pictures of the legendary BB King, San Diego rock band Switchfoot and Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, taken by local photographer Aaron Chang. Other works of art reflect scenes of San Diego and Baja California, such as an oil painting by deceased artist

■ This week: Wild Note’s Shrimp Dumplings Kenneth Dale Draper that depicts Hussong’s Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico. While cafe guests don’t necessarily hear songs emanating from the Belly Up next door, they can listen to pop, indie rock and reggae tracks played inside the restaurant. Music videos are often shown on the TV centered over the bar, along with sports programming. The chef is Israel “Izzy” Balderas, and the sous chef is Jorge Benitez. The cuisine served at Wild Note Cafe can be described as “Pacific coastal with Mexican fusion.” For example, there are Shrimp Enchiladas with Spanish rice
and refried pinto beans, and Lobster Dumplings with a port wine sauce. There’s also the Ahi Sashimi Grade Salad, containing organic greens, fresh seaweed, papaya, crispy wontons, cucumber and champagne vinaigrette; and the Dijon-Herb Crusted Salmon, with Israeli couscous, broccolini and lemon-tarragon buerre blanc. Burgers and sandwiches are included among the offerings, as well as a variety of gourmet sliders — Jalapeño Turkey Burger, Fried Chicken Tender, Filet Mignon and Seared Ahi. The children’s menu consists of pasta with Parmesan, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, a burger and a quesadilla.
Patrons who leave room for dessert will find options such as the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pie and the Peach-Berry Puff Pastry. According to Beth Bennett, director of marketing and events at the Belly Up and Wild Note Cafe, everything is housemade except the herb bread and butter, which is provided by O’Brien’s Bakery in Del Mar. “We use the freshest ingredients locally when we can,” she said. Bennett recommends that customers “crack a bottle of wine and try a variety of offerings.” “From the starters, if you like seafood, there are plenty of options,” she said. “Sit on the patio, watch the people go by.” The lunch crowd tends to be Cedros shoppers and beachgoers, while dinner tends to be “very show-driven,” Bennett said. Reservations are recommended on nights of popular concerts. But there’s a perk for Wild Note patrons: There is a side entrance to the Belly Up through the cafe, where the line is often shorter, Bennett said.

After working in New York as a textile designer, she moved to San Diego, and in 2003 embarked on a career in painting.

Her exhibition, “Immaterial,” opens Friday, Oct. 14, at the UCSD Faculty Club, curated by professor Alain Cohen. Admission is free from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MondayFriday. The show runs to mid-January.

Puppet exhibit at Carlsbad Library is a feast for the imagination By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Alan Cook, founder and director of the International Puppetry Museum in Pasadena, loves puppets so much that he’s collected about 6,000 of them, representing cultures all over the world. For the next few months, you can see some of his treasures at Carlsbad’s Cannon Gallery. More than 200 puppets from the Alan Cook Collection are beautifully displayed in the gallery that is part of the library complex. There are Punch and Judy hand puppets, Indonesian shadow puppets, life-size Burmese puppets, rare Japanese Bunraku puppets meant to be manipulated by two or three puppeteers, Broadway and Hollywood celebrity lookalikes, and a whole company of Chinese marionettes ... and that’s just for starters. There are probably more puppets on display than you’ve ever seen in your life. Cook, 79, started collecting as a child, and began his own puppet-making/puppeteering career at age 8, thanks to a WPA (Works Progress Administration) program at his grade school. “I’ve built this collection on a very small income,” he said. “I was able to buy things when they were cheap. Many of them I wouldn’t be able to afford today.” Twelve years ago, with the help of a core group of volunteers, Cook started a

Now heading toward age 80, he has been searching for a permanent home for his collection, and has settled on the Northwest Puppet Center in Seattle. But he’s still hoping to find the right place in Southern California. “Our dream is to find a place here and work in tandem with Seattle. There are certainly enough pieces to go around,” said Collections Coordinator Steve Golden, a former puppeteer who says no one is ever really a “former” puppeteer and has worked with Cook for years.

Symphony gala opens 101st year with salute to Paris
T
he San Diego Symphony hosted its seasonopening gala, “Opus 2011: A Night in Paris,” Oct. 1 at the University Club atop Symphony Towers. The Frenchthemed pre- and post-concert activities, included cocktails, dinner, cabaret music, can-can dancers, mimes, richly decadent pastries, casino games of chance, and even a silver service of French toast, French fries and French dip! Joyce and Craig Grosvenor chaired the gala to raise funds for the symphony’s education and outreach programs that serve more than 53,000 students each year. The concert starred soprano Kathleen Battle and French pianist Jean Yves Thibaudet, and under the direction of maestro Jahja Ling, the repertoire included Gabriel Fauré’s “Piano Quartet No. 1” and Maurice Ravel’s “Bolero,” which ended in a standing ovation.

It will be a Stravinsky Circus! for La Jolla Symphony & Chorus’ new season By Linda Thompson Picking his favorite program in the upcoming La Jolla Symphony and Chorus 2011-12 concert season is nearly an impossibility for Maestro Steven Schick. “I can’t say. It’s like saying which is your favorite kidney,” he quipped. Schick is passionate about the entire season ahead, which surveys the works of 20th-century composer Igor Stravinsky and is aptly christened “Stravinsky Circus!” For Schick, each of the concerts rises to “a lifechanging artistic event.” That’s in part because of the intensity of the rehearsals and labor of love that his community musicians put into each performance. “Stravinsky Circus! will present the many faces of Stravinsky,” Schick said. “You will hear the Stravinsky of the ballets in his ‘The Rite of Spring’ and ‘The Firebird,’ and you will hear some later works of reduced instrumentation of which ‘Les Noces,’ written for pianos, percussion and chorus, is a fabulous example. We

will have ‘Symphony in C’ from his neoclassical period and ‘Ebony Concerto,’ in which he embraced jazz in a work written for the Woody Herman band. There is so much to choose from!” It was two years ago that Schick decided Stravinsky’s
UCsd professor steven schick conducts the La Jolla symphony and Chorus. Bill Dean compositions should be used for a concert series. “Stravinsky changed the musical world. He was as important to the 20th century as the

music of the 19th-century masters was to theirs. In a way, he was the Beethoven of the modern era.” In addition to Stravinsky,
patrons will hear the music of Beethoven, Brahms, Verdi, and Mozart alongside contemporary composers David Lang and John Adams.
“Music belongs to a time and often to a place,” Shick said. “We believe in playing the music of and for our time, in addition to the great classic works.” Schick, who begins his fifth season with the LJS&C, likens appreciating music to learning a language by listening; those who listen more gain a deeper understanding. To enrich the LJS&C experience, pre-concert lectures given by program annotator Eric Bromberger, Choral Director David Chase, and Schick give patrons insight into the composers and their music. Audiences are invited to ask questions in these sessions to help bring perspective and understanding to the performances. “When speaking about the music to a La Jolla Symphony and Chorus audience, I try to give them access — perhaps by providing some concepts or background information — without robbing them of the chance to listen for themselves. We encourage everyone to find their own pathway through the music.”

Business leader says ‘ya gotta have heart’ in new management book By Steven Mihailovich When the Conference Board of New York in 2009 reported that only 45 percent of American workers were satisfied with their jobs, a continuous 22-year decline since the indicator was initiated, Mark Crowley decided to do something about it. For Crowley, who had spent the last 25 years professionally leading one successful team after another in retail banking and who has lived in La Jolla for the same period, the statistic made no sense, especially at a time when the highest priority for business is to get the most out of its precious resources. With the age-old axiom that “a happy worker is a productive one” in tow, Crowley penned a 137-page book, entitled “Lead from the Heart,” to prove that simple changes in management style can matter more than money in propelling employees to the peak of performance and thereby maximizing a company’s bottom line. “More than half the people hate going to work,” Crowley said. “Their needs have changed and leadership hasn’t. Leadership hasn’t identified what it takes to get people excited. “The information I’ve
‘lead from the heart: transformational leadership for the 21st century’ by Mark crowley, Balboa Press, 137 pages, 2011, markcrowley.com gathered, from my experience and scientific research, is a breakthrough for business and I don’t think business understands what I’ve learned. If they understood, they’d realize that this is the way to business nirvana.” The book’s premise is straightforward: A leader must listen to his/her heart, as much as his/her mind. Employers who take into account the individual needs of workers on the job and who treat employees as human beings, instead of components of the operation, outperform their competitors in the market. Numerous studies from
leading universities and research organizations substantiating the claim fill the pages. Yet Crowley acknowledges that his remedies face an uphill battle, not because of present practices, but past prescriptions. “I realized that (using) the heart was traditionally seen as being soft, sentimental, and the antithesis to success in business,” he said. “There’s an historical bias against it. Business doesn’t really operate that way. Yet the more I helped other people, the more successful I became ... people know this is the right thing. Most people tell me, I’m glad someone finally said it.” Crowley said he started writing in early 2009. About midway through the book, he wondered whether there was any scientific evidence to support his assertions that showed in the physiology of the human heart. However, Crowley never received any responses from the cardiologists he had written. During a routine medical examination, Crowley said his doctor directed him toward Dr. Mimi Guarneri, founder and director of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine in La Jolla. To Crowley’s amazement, he discovered revolutionary research over the past 20
years, which indicates that the physical heart might have a form of cognizance that works in tandem with the brain to direct the body. “For 300 years, they didn’t believe the heart had any function except as a pump,” Crowley said. “I fell upon information that not only was unknown in business, but was generally not known by the public. It profoundly validated what I had to say.” Crowley completed the manuscript by March of this year and the book was released on
Aug. 31. In the brief month and a half since its release, Crowley said interest has come from places as diverse as China, Russia, the United Kingdom and Japan. “The first CEO who responded to my book was someone in India asking if I would come and speak,” Crowley said. “The message is universal. This is something that anyone in any business, any organization, can adopt and immediately become effective.” A book launch party at the Riford Library was attended by more

than 100 people, according to branch manager Catherine Greene. The event was so popular that a second will be held there on Wednesday, Nov. 9. “Leading and heart are not often in the same sentence,” Greene said. “That kind of thinking is the most advanced, sophisticated and humane you’ll see, in my opinion. A lot of these popular self-help books [argue] that all these issues that consume our lives can be solved in seven or 10 steps. That’s pretty insulting to people. Or it ought to be.” With the book barely out of the gate, Crowley plans to augment his message with speaking engagements, consulting, and blogging at markcrowley.com. He said he can’t rest until the lessons of his life lead to a healthier, heartier, business environment. “It really became the fulfillment of my life to write this book,” he said. “This was the journey I was supposed to take. My ambition is to move this message and change the way we do things in America. If you open your mind to it, you’ll immediately have productive, loyal workers. You move pretty quickly once you accept it.”

Malashock Dance will bring ‘RAW2’ to La Jolla Playhouse By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt RAW: Rude. Rough. Unrefined. Not words that usually come to mind in relation to Malashock Dance, a bright star on the local dance scene since 1988. But last fall’s “Malashock/ RAW,” featuring pieces by artistic director John Malashock, assistant artistic director Michael Mizerany, and guest choreographer Bradley Michaud, was a big hit at the late, lamented Sushi downtown. Now the company is bringing “RAW2,” an all-new trio of provocative, boundarysmashing dances, to the La Jolla Playhouse, and it’s definitely a hot ticket. “It’s a nice balance to have different forums for our work, to be able to tap into different sides of ourselves as artists — raw and refined,” Malashock said. “And we wanted to expand our choreography, invite other people’s work in, besides just using my own.” The stripped-down format also applies to the RAW budget. “We’re not spending much on costumes or sets,” Mizerany said. “We’re concerned with the dances and the dancers.” This time, they’ve invited Henry Torres and Angel Arambula from Lux Boreal, a Tijuana dance company that’s been making a name for itself on both sides of
If you go ■ What: Malashock ‘RAW2’ ■ When: 8 p.m. Oct. 20-22 ■ Where: Mandell Weiss Forum Theater, La Jolla Playhouse on UCSD campus ■ Tickets: $20-$15, (619) 260-1622 ■ Website: malashockdance.org the border. “We’ve known Lux Boreal for a long time, and always admired their work,” said Malashock. “And Henry Torres has taught master classes in our studio. Now they’re creating a new piece, “Harem,” here, and basically all we know about it is in their press release. That’s part of the excitement of RAW, for us and our audiences: You don’t know what you’re gonna get.” Malashock and Mizerany are also excited about their own new pieces for “RAW2.” “With ‘Piece of Work!’ I’m going back to how I began creating dances. I really wanted to get very intimate and personal, to develop some unique characters and emotional story lines,” Malashock said. “And I’m using some really exciting
music, like Brian Eno and David Byrne, along with some more current sounds.” Mizerany’s ‘Desperate Love’ is set to a score that combines tribal drumbeats, techno, and new age music. “The piece is in five sections, with four dancers, and it’s about desperate people trying to find a way to love,” Mizerany said. “There’s lots of skin, lots of sweat, lots of conflict, lots of fast, dynamic movement. My pieces tend to be very carnal, about how people relate to each other through their bodies and their hearts.” In “RAW2,” the company is introducing a wider variety of dancers, with eight guest artists augmenting their regular troupe. And RAW promises to be an annual event, with new pieces and guest choreographers every year. “RAW2” also signals the beginning of a new working relationship between Malashock Dance and La Jolla Playhouse. “We’re hoping to develop a complete workshop version of ‘Chagall’ at the Playhouse,” said Malashock, referring to the dance/musical about artist Marc Chagall that he and klezmer musician/composer Yale Strom have been working on for years. But first: it’s RAW time. Three brave new dances, three nights only.

Rockin’ with Kenny Loggins raises funds for pediatric hospital
A
s he walked down off the stage and into the audience to perform “Celebrate Me Home,” Kenny Loggins drew a standing ovation. His Concert for the Children on Oct. 7 in the ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Aventine in La Jolla helped raise funds for the work of the Hospital Infantil de las Californias, which has been providing healthcare for the most needy children on both sides of the border since 1994. Gala guests were treated to full-out jammin’ versions of “Angry Eyes,” “Whenever I Call You Friend,” “What A Fool Believes,” and “This Is It!” as the crowd jumped up across the room to dance in the aisles. As the band left the stage, calls for “Kenny!” “Kenny!” brought them back for three more tunes, laughing and shooting each other glances of surprise at the audience’s heartfelt reception.
