Veterans test Mount Soledad lighting plan, A4
By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla parade, “Christmas in the Village,” is back for the 55th year to ring in the holiday season for residents and visitors alike, beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2 down Girard Avenue. Despite funding concerns (organizers were $5,000 short as of Nov. 20), Parade Chair Ann Kerr said “We’re going to go ahead with the parade. I’m confident.” Kerr added that people could continue to donate to the cause because some parade bills are not due until January. Several classic attractions are returning to the lineup this year, along with some new participants and partnerships. The popular equestrians and their horses will arrive at 10 a.m. to their designated space on Girard Avenue between Kline Street and Virginia Way. SEE PARADE, A7

Task force buys time in effort to delay La Jolla post office sale By Pat Sherman The Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force received good news last week from a federal agency that says selling La Jolla’s Wall Street post office would have a negative impact on the 1935 structure and beloved community landmark. The federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) determined that the United States Postal Service’s federal preservation officer ruled incorrectly when he said in October that selling the post SAVE THE POST office would have “no adverse effect” on the structure. It has been nearly a year since the United States Postal Service (USPS) announced its plan to sell La Jolla’s post office at 1140 Wall Street and relocate services to a smaller building elsewhere in or near the Village. The post office task force, comprised of attorneys, land use experts, historic preservationists and other community members, was formed shortly after the announcement to devise a plan to keep postal services on Wall Street — including having a nonprofit organization, such as the La Jolla Historical Society, purchase the building and lease a portion of it back to USPS. USPS has determined that the Wall Street building is eligible for placement on the
National Register of Historic Places for its WPA-era architecture and 1935 mural by artist Belle Baranceanu. The sale has been delayed about six months by the Section 106 process, which requires federal agencies, such as the USPS, to study the impact of a sale or alteration to buildings either listed on or eligible for inclusion on the National Register. In a letter opining that selling the post office would have no adverse effect on the building, Federal PresOFFICE UPDATE ervation Officer Dallan Wordekemper wrote that a “preservation covenant” with the new owner would require that the new owner restore, maintain and preserve the property and mural in accordance with Secretary of the Interior standards, and that no construction, alteration or rehabilitation be permitted that would affect its historic features without prior approval of the California Historic Preservation Office. However, on Nov. 20 ACHP Director Reid Nelson sent a letter to Wordekemper stating his opinion that the covenant as worded is “insufficient to justify the finding of no adverse effect” and “does not include provisions that ensure the long-term preservation of the
By Pat Sherman Scaled-down plans for the proposed Hillel Center for Jewish Life near UC San Diego were shot down again by the community — this time by the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance Advisory (LJSPDO) Board, which declined to grant its approval of a site development permit and public right-of-way vacation for the project during its Nov. 20 meeting. Approval of the center — proposed for a pie-shaped parcel on the south side of La Jolla Village Drive, between Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Scenic Way — was also denied by the La Jolla Community Planning Association in June.

Bennet Ratcliff COURTESY
Kudos to Westfield UTC and artist Pat Downing
M
etal artist Pat Downing unveiled this 6-foot-tall copper sculpture last week in front of the new Tiffany’s store at the remodeled Westfield UTC mall. Downing is the first local artist to be featured by the shopping center as part of its commitment to building strong community connections. The work was created from a single 10-by-3 foot sheet of
copper using a method called Foldforming, an origami-like process moving metal into dramatic shapes. After folding the copper in half, Downing used traditional hammers and anvil as well as a power hammer, to create texture and move the copper into the curves of the wave-like sculpture. Once he had the shape, he unfolded the copper using a
variety of tools. Finally, multiple layers of blue and green patinas were applied to give the piece a water-like look. Downing has been working in metal since 2001. He splits his time between his home studio and the Blacksmith’s Shop in Old Town San Diego where he works as an 1850s-style blacksmith doing demonstrations for school groups and tourists.

Vets test scaled back Mount Soledad lighting plan By Pat Sherman Members of the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association conducted a second test of lights proposed for the veterans memorial atop Mount Soledad on Nov. 19. The association tested 3.4-watt LED lights, which will be placed into the end of six walls, providing lighting for the lower memorial steps. Minor concerns that light might spill onto the sidewalk were addressed once test lights were placed into their recessed fixtures. The lights would be on from sunset to 10 p.m. The proposal also calls for lighting the U.S. flag from below, which was tested in July. An original plan to light the memorial plaques around the circumference of the wall was nixed after community input that it was too bright and would detract from the ambiance of Mount Soledad Natural Park — a popular spot for stargazers. The association, which manages the memorial for the Navy, is seeking city council approval for an easement needed to provide electricity from the park entrance to the memorial. Memorial association trustee Bob
Mike Williams, right, with San Diego-based Rock Electric, conducts a test of step lighting at the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial Nov. 19. Pat Sherman Phillips said it is critical to get city council approval for the memorial by Feb. 1, in order to take advantage of an initial price quote for the work from San Diego Gas & Electric contractors. La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. granted its approval of the scaleddown step and flag lighting at its Nov. 26 meeting.
Phillips said the association expects to begin construction on the easement as soon as it receives city council approval. Meanwhile, work on four new memorial walls at the site is ongoing. The walls will provide room for an additional 2,200 memorial plaques.
There are currently 80 plaque spaces left on the existing walls. Phillips said he expects the work will be complete in early February. The association receives funding for the site from plaque sales, membership dues and other donations. For more information, visit soledadmemorial.com

Hundreds gather at vigil in La Jolla to pray for Israel By Pat Sherman On the eve of a cease-fire at the Israel-Gaza border, meant to end eight days of rocket and warplane attacks that resulted in nearly 150 deaths, hundreds of Christians and Jews attended a vigil at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street to pray for peace in Israel and the region. The Nov. 20 vigil, which included prayer, music and speeches by several local pastors, was organized by the San Diego chapter of Stand With Us, a nonprofit Israel advocacy organization with chapters around the world. The event, predominantly attended by Christians, was billed as “an open call for people of faith to pray for peace in Israel and an end to the violence.” “Thank you for standing up when it counts, not when it’s easy or popular, but when it’s difficult and sometimes even dangerous,” Stand With Us Regional Director Audrey Jacobs told those in attendance. Among the speakers was Israel Deputy
Consul General Dr. Uri Resnick, who spoke of the unending conflagration. “We’ve had years upon years of missile attacks,” Resnick said. “At some point when you look your children and family members in the eye … you have to say enough is enough.” Harkening back to Israel’s 2005 unilateral disengagement plan, in which Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called for resettling all Israelis from the Gaza Strip and four settlements in the northern West Bank, Resnick said the proposal had largely failed to bring about peace with Palestinians in Gaza. “Since the withdraw in 2005, thousands upon thousands of rockets have been smuggled into Gaza and many thousands have landed on Israel,” he said, noting that many of the rockets were supplied by Iranian sympathizers. “There’s a lot of feverish diplomatic work going on now, as we speak, to try and find a long-term solution to this problem,” he said.

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas 8 Ways to Make Small Rooms Feel Larger
Whether you are selling your home or just want it to feel more spacious, here are some ideas that decorators have used to give a room a larger feeling. 1) Lighten the color. Dark colors on walls often make a room feel smaller. Cream colors and soft tones of greens and blues create space. Using monochromatic color schemes, colors all from the same color family, also make spaces appear larger. 2) De-clutter. Go through your belongings and try to reduce them by 1/3. You can take them to a storage place or actually give them away. We all have more “stuff ” than we really can use. 3) Remove excess furniture from rooms. Less is better. 4) Let the light flow in. Take down curtains, open blinds, let in natural light. 5) Hang mirrors. Mirrors reflect light and give an illusion of depth. 6) Opt for plain fabrics. Upholstery that is plain and neutral can make a space feel larger than upholstery with bold prints or stripes. 7) Find secret storage places. Ottomans that double as storage units can be helpful. 8) Make smart furniture choices. See through furniture such as glass tops can open up a space as can armless chairs and sofas. Bottom line: The more floor space you see in a room the more open and bigger it will feel.

FROM PARADE, A1 Also back, after a hiatus, is the Wells Fargo Stagecoach, and The Living Nativity, fire engines, marching bands and units, classic cars, business and civic floats, youth marshals and a color guard. San Diego Mayor-elect Bob Filner, District 1 Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, and 52nd District Congressman Scott Peters are expected to join the festivities. The Innovation Marshall will be new UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla. Girard Gourmet’s Diana and Francois Goedhuys will serve as Grand Marshals, along with Cultural Marshal Erika Torri, Educational Marshal Reggie Smith, Marine Marshal Nigella Holgarth, Military Marshal Charles Hartford and a dozen youth marshals representing local schools. Kerr said the Parade and Festival is a great opportunity for young performers. “It gives kids who have been working hard to achieve skills in dance or gymnastics or marching, a chance to show them off,” she said. n Street closures on Dec. 2 The day of the parade, there will be several street closures starting at 10 a.m. Cars not involved with the parade will be towed. Streets closed to make room for the parade include both sides of: Girard Avenue between Torrey Pines and Kline; Kline Street between Ivanhoe and Fay; Herschel Avenue between Torrey Pines and Silverado; and Drury Lane Alley between Kline and Pearl. Starting at noon, additional streets will be closed and cars will be towed. They are both sides of: Girard Avenue between Kline and Prospect; Prospect Street between Girard and La Jolla Boulevard, including the Cuvier culde-sac, and Draper Avenue between Silverado

Patricia Lowell Principal of Stella Maris Academy keeps children in mind EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the third of a 13-part series bringing you interviews with principals of the 13 schools in La Jolla every other week.

A statue of the Virgin Mary is on display, a school award from the Department of Education hangs on one wall, and an amusing photo of students dressed as Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper” disciples hangs on another. On Lowell’s desk sits a well-worn book of daily meditations for teachers, a gift from a student’s family she received not long after becoming a teacher at the K-8 school in La Jolla’s Village. Lowell has marked numerous pages over the years, but it’s the inscription she cherishes most: “Thank you, Mrs. Lowell, for instilling the love of learning in our daughter.” It’s a message that the 63-year-old Lowell said reminds her that what teachers say and do really matters to children. “That’s really important to me,” the Stella Maris Academy principal said recently, “to make sure that we all are aware — administrators as well as

■ Video interview with Patricia Lowell at lajollalight.com teachers — of the impact that we have on our students.” Born and raised in Chicago, Lowell became an elementary school teacher nearly four decades ago after studying education at Northeastern Illinois University. Though she briefly considered teaching high school English, Lowell fell in love with “the sweet little children” in lower grades who offered her hugs on a regular basis. “That’s my daily vitamin,” she said.
Lowell taught at public schools in Illinois and Kansas for more than a decade, but when she and her husband and their two daughters relocated to Southern California in 1992, there were no full-time job openings in the Poway Unified School District where she applied. Lowell answered an opening to teach first grade at Stella Maris, which is the parish school of Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church on Girard Avenue. Having attended Catholic
elementary and high schools herself, Lowell appreciated the small school’s combination of strong academics, faith-based values, social curriculum and community service opportunities. By the time a teaching opportunity opened up in Poway the following year, “I had already fallen in love with Stella Maris,” she said. That was 19 years ago. After teaching first grade for 12 years and simultaneously serving as the school’s vice principal, Lowell became principal in 2006. On a typical day, Lowell rises at 4:30 a.m. She arrives at the office at 6:30 a.m. — with a Starbucks coffee cup in hand — to tackle her to-do list and to be available for teachers. “I want to make sure that I’m accessible,” she said. “There is nothing worse than someone who puts you off when there is something you want to talk over.” She holds meetings at 7:15 a.m. before greeting students at 8 a.m. She then leads students and teachers in a daily morning prayer over a school-wide intercom. For a campus that sits on two different street corners, “it’s a great way to have everyone come together,” Lowell said. When asked to name the biggest challenge in education today, Lowell’s focus on children remains paramount: “Our

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE, A8 biggest challenge is to make sure that we help struggling students reach the potential they can have in their learning,” she said. Whereas once the school could simply not afford to meet the needs of special learners, Lowell said it is now reaching out to meet the needs of all students as part of an effort to broaden the appeal of a Catholic education to many and to ensure the school’s strong academic programs. Working in what she calls a democratic and collaborative leadership style, Lowell gathered support to open a resource center two years ago and hired an educational specialist to assist students with special needs or those working below grade level. Lowell also introduced LiPS, which teaches K-3rd grade students how to move their mouths to make sounds correctly, a program she credits with helping young readers to selfcorrect their reading and spelling. Another program, called D.I.B.L.E.S., is helping to identify reading problems early on, she said. Other initiatives Lowell has instituted include offering a “transitional” kindergarten program this year to attract students too young for regular kindergarten but who would benefit from a full-day school program and working to make Stella Maris a welcome home for Spanish-speaking students. The school is also exploring expanding to include a preschool. “I think we have become very, very successful in looking at how we can best address the needs of our students,” she said. n Up Next: Meet Christian Jarlov, head of the San Diego French American School, in the Dec. 13 issue.

FROM JEWISH CENTER, A1 A draft environmental impact report (EIR) on the project issued Oct. 31 by San Diego’s Development Services Department found project impacts to be negligible. LJSPDO members and residents, however, still expressed concern about potential traffic impacts, as well as Hillel’s design and scale, and the question of whether the project is primarily intended for religious or student use. The 7,084-square foot center would be comprised of three buildings positioned around a central courtyard. The surrounding area would include some parkland and a meandering bike path. There would be an estimated 12 to 15 gatherings at the center in a typical week and about 20 cars traveling to and from the center per day, said Hillel Director Michael Rabkin. About 80 percent of traffic from the center will be pedestrian, he said. There are about 2,000 Jewish undergraduate students attending UCSD. “We need a space that will allow the students to gather and allow for religious expression,” Rabkin said. Hillel project attorney Bob
La Jolla Shores resident Kim Rebeiz says the site of the proposed Hillel Center for Jewish Life is not large enough to accommodate the project. Photos by Pat Sherman Lapidus said the kitchen would only be used to enhance religious observances, such as Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah, and not for catering or regular on-site food service. The center, which would include 25 parking spaces for vehicles and two for motorcycles, would primarily be used for religious study and observance, Lapidus added. Julie Hamilton, an attorney representing Taxpayers for Responsible Land Use, a group of La Jolla Shores residents opposed to the project, said structures intended for religious use
are required by the city’s land development code to have 30 parking spaces per every 1,000 square feet, or one space for every three pew seats. “They’re providing one space per every five people,” Hamilton said. “It’s going to require 47 parking spaces. They’re providing 27.” Hamilton said the project would also remove as many as 10 existing street parking spaces, including seven on a cul de sac that would be vacated for conversion to parkland, and three that would be lost on La Jolla Scenic Drive North. “If you’re a religious insti-
SAN DIEGO
La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance Advisory Board Chair Paul Benton discusses the Hillel project. tution, you’ve got established parking ratios,” Hamilton said. “If you’re not a religious institution, you’re not allowed in this zone.” Several people who spoke during the LJSPDO meeting said the buildings are out of character with the surrounding neighborhood, which largely features one-story, single-family homes. La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee Mike Costello said the EIR failed to delve into the center’s impact on residents’ property values and quality of life, as well as the potential for the project to open the door for approval of other student centers or fraternity houses in the immediate area. Hamilton said the project setbacks — between 10 to 14 feet from the street — are also inadequate per the Shores’ Planned District
Ordinance. As the La Jolla Traffic and Transportation Board determined, Hamilton opined that findings could not be made for a street vacation on the cul de sac, because cars are still using it. “You have to be able to say that there is no present or prospective use of the public right-of-way,” she said. “I provided pictures of cars parked there last Friday.” The project also would reduce the width of La Jolla Scenic Drive North by two to four feet to accommodate setbacks and a sidewalk. “That’s not traffic calming, that’s jamming up an already difficult situation,” Hamilton said, adding, “the draft EIR is not adequate. It doesn’t meet the requirements of CEQA (the California Environmental Quality Act). … They never even mention the La Jolla Shores Design
Manual — and that needs to be a consideration in every project that’s approved in the Shores.” Board member Nate Fisher, who expressed approval for the center, said he’d always viewed the proposed site as an “undeveloped eyesore.” In the end, Fisher’s motion to approve the project failed 2-3, despite an addendum to the motion that the width of La Jolla Scenic Drive North not be reduced. In other LJSPDO news n Second-story home office: Board members voted 3-2 that a secondstory addition to a singlestory home at 7904 Roseland Drive would create only minimal impacts, and thus did not require the applicant to pursue a coastal development permit. The office would add 500 square feet to the 4,340-square-foot home. The dormer-style pop-up additions would include a deck and interior elevator for access. Built into the home’s pitched roof, it would add only about five feet of elevation to portions of the structure, said a representative for Golba Architecture. n Meetings: The La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance Advisory Board meets 9 a.m. the third Tuesday of the month at La Jolla Recreation Center, 616 Prospect St.

La Jolla students hold fundraisers for Sandy relief
Muirlands Middle School students staff a bake sale to benefit the Hoboken Rotary in New Jersey.
By Ashley Mackin Students at La Jolla Elementary and Muirlands Middle Schools recently did their part to raise funds for Superstorm Sandy relief efforts — one with a photo booth and the other with a bake sale. LJES, through its Service Learning Program, hosted a photo booth at the Open Aire Market over the past few weeks to raise $258 for the American Red Cross. Supporters had their pictures taken behind a backdrop of a surfer and mermaid with the faces cut out. Cynthia Kronemyer, the mother of Muirlands school twins who went through LJES and started the Service Learning Program, said she is glad to see it put to good use. “I don’t think there is anything more important that we could possibly teach kids than doing service for other people,” Kronemyer said. Past efforts included students selling Valentines to benefit the victims of the Haiti earthquake in January 2010. The Muirlands Middle School bake sale, with a little help from Hoboken Pizza in Pacific Beach, raised $400 for the Hoboken Rotary in New Jersey. Organizer Laurie Weiss, a friend of the mayor of Hoboken, has a personal connection to the cause. After the bake sale raised $200 on Nov. 11, Weiss paid a call on Hoboken Pizza which matched the funds with an additional $200. Weiss said she was proud of her own children, Rafi and Talia, both students in their first year at Muirlands and the other children who participated in the Bake Sale. “I am continually impressed that my kids and their friends don’t hesitate to give of themselves,” she said. “Whether it’s due to living in the small town of La Jolla, or from participating in service learning at school, I am really pleased with the values they are developing.”

Young Rotarians build 17th home
M
embers of Rotary’s youth Interact community service clubs at The Bishop’s School and La Jolla High, along with their parents and three members of Rotary Club of La Jolla, constructed a new home for an impoverished Tijuana family Oct. 27. The home replaced the family’s dirtfloor shelter. Rotary volunteers assembled the wood frame home in seven hours, from the first nail to completion, which included paint
and a matching dog house for the family pet. About $3,900 in building materials was raised by Interact students, La Jollans and the Rotary Club of La Jolla. It was the 17th home constructed by the two Interact clubs during the past five years. Interact clubs are high school, community service organizations sponsored and led by Rotary clubs. To contribute to the clubs’ home-building fund, contact Cal Mann at (858) 336-2557 or e-mail calmann@mac.com

Westfield UTC ‘re-opens’ upscale shopping center with new retailers By Ashley Mackin A remodeled and revamped Westfield UTC shopping center reopened Nov. 15 with a fashion event designed to showcase the outdoor mall’s new offerings. It included a fashion show hosted by E! News Correspondent and Fashion Police panelist Giuliana Rancic and a concert by Natasha Bedingfield. As an introduction to the festivities, several speakers
addressed the crowd to talk about the center’s $180-million makeover. “We could not be more proud of the project that we’re delivering here to La Jolla and the San Diego community,” said Westfield’s U.S. CEO Greg Miles. “It’s a resort-inspired fashion and lifestyle destination.” Outgoing Mayor Jerry Sanders told guests, “This is a great remake of an old shopping center and we’re

really happy with Westfield for giving us this deluxe shopping center in San Diego.” Sanders added that the 35-year-old mall, which originally opened in 1977, is expected to bring in $3 million in tax revenue per year. He said the renovation project created 2,400 jobs, of which 1,000 were construction-related. In addition to the renovations, 40,000 square feet of new space was developed at the center. Before the fashion show, Rancic praised the mall’s management for “all the amazing things they’ve added here.” She said she specifically liked the family area and “bark park.” The mall is dog friendly and has drinking fountains of varying heights for pets. Of the clothing retailers, Rancic said, “You guys are on the forefront of fashion.” When Grammy-nominated singer Natasha Bedingfield took the stage, she

Bolillo Torta, Via Moto, Stone Oven Gourmet, Eureka Burger and Seasons 52. Miles said the center is seeking LEED Gold-Level certification. Sustainability features include highefficiency plumbing, recycled water for landscape irrigation, and “cool roof” technology that reduces the need for air conditioning.
Aesthetic changes include the restored pools that include statues of dolphins in different stages of play, and the addition of the Palm Plaza, where the fashion show and concert occurred. Miles said he hopes to have entertainment events year round at the Plaza. Festivities continued through the weekend, with an official grand opening at ArcLight Cinemas, a 12:01 a.m. Saturday showing of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2,” and a treelighting ceremony and performance Saturday night by “American Idol” contestant Jessica Sanchez, the San Diego Children’s Choir, the Body Poets dance crew as seen on “America’s Got Talent,” and the San Diego Youth Ballet.

Spotlight on Local
Fashion meets furniture AT-HOM
COURTESY
By Marti Gacioch Fashion meets furniture at San Diego’s AT-HOM showroom where manager Richard Romano and his colleagues guide clients through the many options available for their homes’ signature look. Whether it’s a hand- rubbed fourposter spindled bed, a stylized Baroque mirror fashioned in silver leaf, a mid60’s-influenced sofa, or customized hardwood furniture by Noir (featuring textured, hand-hammered zinc designs in the form of dining tables and dressers), AT-HOM elements are anything but ordinary. Owner Lee Thomas’ inspiration to open AT-HOM two years ago grew from his realization that designer trends had slowly disappeared over the years in San Diego. “We wanted to bring designer styles back and give San Diego a fresh, new look,” Romano said. “We feature transitional modern furniture and carry a lot of unique pieces that you can’t find in any of San Diego’s manufacturers.”
Visitors can explore a multitude of design elements by strolling through AT-HOM’s 5,000-square-foot showroom offering dozens of manufacturer’s pieces. “We don’t put one manufacturer’s works all in one setting because we like our clients to see how a contemporary dining table would work with traditional chairs or a crystal chandelier over a very modern living room set,” Romano said. “That gives them the opportunity to see how different genres of design can be fused into one area, so clients feel like they have their own individuality.” AT-HOM offers its clients either inhome or in-store service at no charge where a designer will present the many options for everything from a simple dining room to a complete house makeover. “We do everything from window treatments to bedding to area rugs, and we’re getting into custom cabinetry and hardwood flooring, as well as lighting and accessories,” Romano said. Color plays a significant role at AT-
HOM where Romano finds that design is directly related to fashion. “I tell my female clients, ‘let me see what’s in your closet and I’ll design your home around it,’” Romano said. “We want to know what colors they like.” According to Romano, there is no single popular color right now; instead a pattern of colors rule design. “We’re color blocking patterns of bright colors and rich jewel tones and doing a winter/summer mix,” he said. “We’re introducing deep royal blues this winter, but we’re popping that with the soft roses and tangerine colors that are summer influences.” AT-HOM’s new area of the store features gift and accent pieces. Besides books, candles and fragrances, unique pieces include a bowling-pin decanter and serving set and vibrantly colored rubber bowls. — AT-HOM is located at 2310 Kettner Blvd., Suite B in San Diego. Hours are noon to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. (619) 744-9974. at-hom.com

County urges consumers to watch for overcharges when shopping The start of the holiday shopping season means it’s also time for shoppers to remember to double-check their receipts to be sure that they’re not being overcharged by faulty cash registers. Last year, inspections conducted by the County Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures (AWM) showed that 20 percent of all stores inspected — 1 in 5 — had overcharging errors. Shoppers can protect themselves from
overcharges by following simple steps: n Always verify receipts and immediately notify store management of any price discrepancies. n Take sales advertisements with you when shopping to verify prices. n Know that stores cannot legally charge more than their lowest advertised, posted or quoted price. n Call AWM at (888) TRUE SCAN (1-888-878-3722) to report overcharges you can’t resolve with store.

La Jolla gains national notoriety for its Cove stench
W
e all know we have a foul marine odor to deal with in La Jolla, but now the whole world knows it, too. Thank you New York Times. In its Nov. 24 issue, Ian Lovett writes, “until a few years ago, the smell was never a problem because the bluffs were open for people to walk on. But since the rocks were closed off, partly because of safety concerns, sea gulls and cormorants have taken over, their droppings have piled up and the smell has grown more acrid by the day … Just how bad the smell is is a matter of personal olfactory perception. Everyone agrees that it is worst in the hot summer months. Even on a cool November day, though, the smell was noticeable inside ocean-facing rooms at local hotels and half a mile inland in the commercial center.” Lovett goes on to report that a visiting Ms. Long from Tennessee covered her nose with a scarf as she walked around the Cove, and said she would not eat at any of
Fire dept. could rescue us from the Cove stench What would be the result if the fire department parked at the edge of the Cove and shot their hoses on the rocks to clean them? The water wouldn’t hurt anything environmentally and the animals would probably jump off into the sea. Seems pretty simple to me. Janet Turek Sarasota, Fla.

La Jolla motorists should Never underestimate the see traffic police on patrol This morning (Nov. 21) I was rear-ended need for handicap access while driving northeast on Torrey Pines Road
This afternoon, Friday, Nov. 23 at 2:30 p.m., I arrived in La Jolla for a nice holiday visit to the Village. I found the Athenaeum closed, so I walked across the street to Panera Bread for a cup of tea and a muffin. I entered the street lobby and found a fairly long flight of stairs leading down to the area where one could get food. Since I was using a walker, I looked to the right and left, and I found short halls with dead-ends at the street level. I waved and waved, and finally a waitperson noticed me. I asked her where the ramp was for the handicapped? She said there wasn’t one, but she would be glad to walk me out the front door around to the rear of the building where there was a “lift.” The “lift” was a white plywood box with a gate — right at the edge of the sidewalk — that would take me down one level where I could go in a back door and get some food. It would not work for me nor for the female employee, so she left me standing there in the box while she went for keys. The keys did not work either. Again, she left me standing there in the box with all the people walking by and looking at me and wondering what was going on. The manager came out with another set of keys and the “lift” still did not work. He apologized and said he would bring me some food — for free! I felt so humiliated by that time I got out of the box and walked with my walker to my car and left La Jolla behind. It may be a while
right in front of the new Starbucks, just northeast of the intersection with Girard. Fortunately, the damage is minor, because the jackass who hit me drove off and I didn’t get a description or a license plate number. But I need to point out a few things about this incident and my subsequent drive to work: 1) The immediate cause of the accident was Starbucks. A car had pulled in front of Starbucks to wait while a passenger had “run in” to get a coffee. The illegally parked car started to pull out in front of me and I had to slam on my brakes. This type of accident will keep happening here unless the ingress/egress is idiot-proofed. Starbucks should be asked to come up with a traffic management plan and modifications to their driveway/parking area so that people aren’t tempted to pull up in front illegally. 2) The jackass who rear-ended me was following too closely. This is symptomatic of nearly all driving in La Jolla. People are in a hurry, do not obey laws or common courtesy, and they don’t feel they are accountable. This is partially because there is no police presence in La Jolla. The only time I see police in La Jolla enforcing traffic laws is up in the Muirlands area. It would be great if police could establish a presence on the main corridor through La Jolla (Torrey Pines/Girard/Pearl) and actually enforce traffic laws there. Just stand out on Torrey Pines with a radar gun near that monstrosity of a
probably take at least two years.” We’ve all been given that two-yearsaway figure for a solution to the Cove stench. That’s because Cove waters are part of a coastal area protected by the state that requires multiple state regulatory agencies issue permits (after lengthy environmental impact reports) before any cleansing agents — or even hoses filled with ocean water itself — could be used to cleanse the nauseating excrement from the cliffs. Each news report quoted the bottomline solution stated by Kanani Brown, an analyst for the California Coastal Commission: “We need to consider a range of alternatives for cleaning the rocks, and one of those could be no project, just sit and wait for rain. I know that’s not ideal for businesses, but that’s historically been the approach.” OK. Guess we just keep holding our noses and asking for a rain check.
construction project near Princess Street — do this for a few days a month, and visibly pull over the most egregious offenders — maybe this will calm things down on that road a bit. 3) To expand on the general issue of traffic in La Jolla: I make it a point to try to drive at the speed limit on Torrey Pines and Pearl because it’s not safe to drive faster than that. Oh, and it’s the law. When I drive at the speed limit, other drivers desperately swerve around me and cut through small gaps in the traffic to pass me. They do this so that they can be one car length ahead of me while we both wait at the traffic light at the top of the hill. This happened today, when another jackass in a Lexus pushed his way past me in the middle of the S-curve on Torrey Pines Road on the way up to UCSD. He evidently felt it was his right to endanger everybody else so that he could have that one-car-length advantage. If I were to walk down the street swinging a machete, I would be arrested. Why should someone recklessly driving a 4,000-pound piece of steel be given any more grace? Selfish, unaccountable driving is so ingrained in our society that we can’t even see it for what it is.

‘End of an Era’: David Copley leaves behind legacy of giving By Pat Sherman La Jollan David Copley, one of San Diego’s premier art patrons, died last week, just hours after attending a board meeting at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego on Prospect Street, for which he served as board president. He was 60 years old. The former San Diego Union-Tribune publisher died of an apparent heart attack the evening of Nov. 20, hours after crashing his Aston Martin into a parked car on Silverado Street, near Eads Avenue. Copley passed away at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, where he was taken after the crash. He underwent heart transplant surgery in 2005. Copley had lunched with MCASD Director Hugh Davies and Assistant Director Charles Castle the day before the board meeting, during which he said he wasn’t feeling well enough to attend a post-meeting reception the following day. “David was engaged, but was clearly fatigued,” said Davies, whose position Copley endowed in perpetuity in the early 1990s. “He had a cough; we were concerned. … He said. ‘I think I might have a bit of bronchitis.’ ” Though Davies and Castle told Copley not to feel obliged to attend the board meeting, Davies said Copley was “quite insistent” on attending. “He got there early,” Davies said. “He was quite animated (and) led a terrific board meeting … with a lot of good discussion. He gaveled the meeting to an end at 6:06 … and crashed his car nine minutes later.” Police monitoring the peace rally event at MCASD
(see page A5) heard the crash and discovered Copley alone in his car and unconscious around 6:15 p.m., fire department spokesman Maurice Luque said. The heir to the Copley publishing empire — who made Forbes magazine’s 2005 list of the 400 richest Americans — was notoriously private and shy. However, Robert Singer, M.D. and other members of Copley’s inner circle remember him as gregarious, funny and knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, including French cinema and costume design. “He had a zest for life; he was curious,” said Singer, a close friend who met Copley in the 1960s. “He had a depth of knowledge about many subjects that most people never saw. He never flaunted it.” Copley was well known for his philanthropy as an individual and as a representative of the James S. Copley Foundation, particularly favoring local arts organizations such as MCASD, La Jolla Playhouse, the Old Globe Theatre, and the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park. Copley was also a major contributor to the new downtown San Diego Library ($2 million), and pledged $5 million to Sharp Healthcare following his heart transplant, and $6 million to endow UCLA’s David C. Copley Chair for the Study of Costume Design and for the David C. Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design in Brentwood.

e.g., in addition to opposing government involvement in health care, it argues against concerns about global climate change and minimizes concerns about the environment. While these may be arguable positions, the article is a polemic that is out of place in the Light. Donald Yeckel La Jolla
tests of Christo’s fabrics,” Davies said. “He was intimately involved with Christo until the day he died. I think David was drawn to the ambitious scale of their projects, their sheer beauty and the fact that they were ephemeral and fleeting.” Davies recalled Copley having lunch with Hockney during a Francis Bacon exhibition at MCASD. “They really hit it off,” Davies recalled. “They were both smokers (then) and they laughed a lot. David Copley has always admired, not only David Hockney’s art, which he collected as well, but I think his courageous lifestyle as an openly gay man in the art world at a time when it wasn’t necessarily comfortable or fashionable.” Copley’s largesse always extended to his friends, who often accompanied him on his yacht at destinations around the globe. Robert Singer and his wife, Judith Harris, traveled with Copley several times to the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Singer said Copley was largely a “creature of
habit” at home and abroad, always returning to his favorite spots. Schwab said he enjoyed simple foods, such as Margherita pizza, and enjoyed an annual splurge at In-N-Out burger. However, since undergoing heart transplant surgery Copley worked hard at exercising and maintaining a healthy diet, Singer said. Born David Hunt in San Diego in 1952, Copley took on the surname of his adoptive father, former publisher of the San Diego Union and Evening Tribune newspapers, James Copley, who wed Copley’s mother in 1965. The Union and Tribune merged in 1992. David Copley became publisher of the UnionTribune in 2001. His mother, Helen Copley, transferred leadership of the paper to him before she died. A representative for the James S. Copley Foundation said a private memorial service is planned for Dec. 16. Christo plans to give a lecture in honor of Copley at MCASD La Jolla in the future, Davies said.

La Jolla man pleads not guilty in attempted kidnapping

Windemere HOA gives $1,500 to Station 16 By Ashley Mackin The Windemere Homeowners Association gathered on Nov. 19 to present $1,500 to the officers of Station 16 (2110 Via Casa Alta) and the San Diego Fire and Rescue Foundation. The money was given to thank them for their efforts in extinguishing a canyon fire on Aug. 24 near the gated Windemere community. “We’re here to present checks to San Diego Fire and Rescue Foundation (and) to those at Station 16. We want to thank you very much for your efforts that night … it could have been a real disasters … it could have
been a loss of property or of life,” said Windemere Manager David Abrams. San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation Executive Director Wendy Robinson said at the presentation, “It’s the mission of the Fire (and) Rescue Foundation to provide enhanced equipment, training and technology for our fire fighters so we are here exclusively to make sure that they have the tools and the training and equipment they need to protect all for us. The donation today will be used for station 16 (and) the greatest need for that particular station.”
Winning lottery ticket Free lecture to explore sold at Dick’s Liquor diet of early man La Jolla resident Lisa Orviss cashed in a winning Mega Millions lottery ticket worth just under $185,000 that she bought at Dick’s Liquor, 737 Pearl St. The winning ticket matched the numbers 47, 37, 8, 44 and 48 and missed the Mega number 27.
FROM POST OFFICE, A1 property’s historic significance as required (by ACHP regulations.)” If the USPS maintains its finding of no adverse effect, it must summarize in writing its reason for the decision and the evidence that it considered the ACHP’s opinion, Nelson wrote. Post office task force chair Leslie Davis said the ACHP’s determination will prolong the Section 106 process, further delaying a sale while the task force works on its strategy to keep postal services in place. “Section 106 is what is keeping us from having that post office sold — and it continues to keep us from that,” Davis said. In addition, in order for the USPS to sell the post office, an agency must first accept responsibility for maintaining the preservation covenants and assuring that the building’s historic facets are maintained

— which can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Davis noted that five days after the City of Los Angeles accepted responsibility for overseeing the covenants on Venice Beach’s historic post office, the building sold (to film producer Joel Silver). Thus far, neither the City of San Diego, nor a state or local preservation agency has stepped up to accept financial responsibility for maintaining the covenants on the Wall Street building. “Happily, no one is accepting that,” Davis said, noting that both the task force and ACHP have requested additional language be added to the covenants. Postal reform on hiatus A postal reform bill introduced this year by Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-53rd), which would give communities like La Jolla the first option to purchase their historically
An 18-year-old La Jolla man accused of trying to kidnap two teenage girls in National City before he was struck by a car in National City on Nov. 19 pled not guilty Nov. 21 to three felony counts. During his arraignment at Scripps Mercy Hospital, Mandelaaxe Watson-Newsome was ordered by Judge Alvin Green to remain in custody in lieu of $1 million bail. According to National City police, the defendant drove up to 13- and 14-year-old girls as they walked home from a convenience store. “Two girls were propositioned by Mr. Watson Newsome, but they ignored him and continued to walk,” Deputy District Attorney Harrison Kennedy said. “He stopped his car and ran after them.” The older girl sent her younger cousin for help. The prosecutor alleged that the defendant struck the 14-year-old in the face and ground his pelvis against her buttocks until he was chased away. Kennedy said the young man lay down in the street and was struck by a car, but got up and ran to a fast-food restaurant, where he was detained. Relatives kept the doors of the establishment shut until officers arrived, according to National City police. Details on the defendant’s medical condition were not released. He faces 11 years in prison if convicted of attempted kidnapping with an intent to commit rape, assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury and forcible sexual assault. Defense attorney Denis Lainez said his client is a recent high school graduate and lifelong La Jollan whose 19th birthday was days away. The judge scheduled a readiness conference for Dec. 3 and a preliminary hearing for Dec. 6. — City News Service

They did say that La Jolla seemed “ to have the most organized and relevant effort to save their post office. ”
— Leslie Davis Reps for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force
significant post offices, will not likely be considered before year’s end — though it could fare better next year. Leslie Davis and other task force members met recently with representatives from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which oversees USPS and is chaired by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-49th). Though Issa has authored his own postal reform bill — viewed by many as a Draconian cost-slashing measure that would seem at
odds with the task force’s preservation efforts — Issa makes the final determination as to whether Susan Davis’s bill is heard in committee and ultimately advances. Though Issa’s committee had previously offered the task force only tepid acknowledgement of Susan Davis’s legislation, Leslie Davis said the task force’s meeting with oversight committee reps last week offered some hope. “We’ve put faces to voices, which I think is good for us, because now we can open up the
conversation,” she said. “They did say that La Jolla seemed to have the most organized and relevant effort to save their post office.” The representatives left the task force with some things to consider regarding the legislation, Leslie Davis said, adding that the congresswoman’s staff and task force members are revising the legislation to make it more palatable to Issa and his committee members in the coming year. Leslie Davis also said Issa’s committee reps acknowledged that 80 percent of the cash-strapped USPS’s budget is comprised of labor costs. “That’s another reason not to focus on real estate holdings, because it’s a drop in the bucket,” Davis said. Still, the committee reps maintained USPS’s commitment to selling off its real estate — particularly in California where property values are high — as it is an “easier divestiture,” Davis said.

Country Day loses CIF Quarter Finals to Horizon Panthers, 40-24 By Michael Ragovin La Jolla Country Day School’s varsity football team trounced Calvary Christian Academy, 70-6, in its first CIF playoff game of this season on Nov. 9. Hopes were high, confidence was up and momentum was moving in the right direction … then the scene shifted to Nov. 16 at Balboa Stadium where the CIF quarterfinals took place matching the La Jolla Country Day Torreys with the Horizon High School Panthers. For the 11th consecutive year, Coach Hutzler’s Torreys had reached the quarterfinals. Optimism continued as Country Day built a 10-0 lead in the first quarter on an interception return of 33 yards by Josh Church and an 5-yard touchdown run by Sage Burmeister, followed by a Wallace field goal. Cole Goldklang would score on a 29-yard run in the second quarter, however, the wheels began to fall off as the Panthers scored 26 points
JUST IN!!
A Horizon High ball carrier is stopped after a short gain. before the half ended for a 26-17 halftime lead. The third quarter saw Country Day score on an 11yard run by Burmeister, and it ended with Horizon in front, 26-24. Horizon went on to score 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter ending up with a 40-24 win. As Coach Hutzler put it, “In the end, the Torreys could not overcome Horizon’s talented playmakers or their own errors.” Unfortunately, these miscues were very untimely coming in the form of an interception, a fumble and a muffed kickoff.
Outstanding performances were turned in by running backs Burmeister and Goldklang. Burmiester rushed for 122 yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns. Goldklang carried 11 times for 108 yards and one touchdown. Linebacker Josiah Poutoa had nine solo tackles and Josh Church had seven tackles and an interception. The future of Torrey Football looks very strong. Darian Brown and Goldklang, both sophomores, had outstanding years on the junior varsity as running backs. Brown ran for 657 yards on 44 carries for a 15-yard average and
11 touchdowns. Goldklang had 445 rushing yards on 43 carries for a 10-yard average and 10 touchdowns. Both performed extremely well when playing for varsity. Brown had 28 carries for 144 yards and two touchdowns and Goldklang ran the ball 42 times gaining 437 yards for 10-yard average and four touchdowns. Matt Yandel and Chris Bee produced a potent JV aerial attack. Yandel passed for 752 yards completing 40 of 65 attempts yielding 10 touchdowns with no interceptions and a passer rating of 144. C. Bee caught 16 balls for 367 yards and a 23-yard per catch average. He also had four touchdown receptions. Congratulations to Sage Burmeister and Josiah Poutoa for their monster seasons and careers. Burmeister led the offense with 1,286 rushing yards on 164 carries with a seven-yard average while scoring 23 touchdowns. Poutoa had 54 solo tackles, 82 assists and 5 sacks.

Jordan Colina scored the first of his four goals to bring the Dons within two, and then took advantage of a 5-meter penalty shot to get Cathedral within a goal. Wrobel then scored his third goal from outside to give Bishop’s a bit of breathing room, but by the end of the quarter, lefty Austin Rone had scored his first goal for the Dons, and Colina added his third goal of the quarter on a counter-attack to tie the game heading into the final quarter of regulation. The fourth quarter continued the seesaw scoring, with Bishop’s taking the lead on another outside shot by Hewitt, then Elig gave the Knights the lead at 7-6 when he buried a beautiful backhand shot while being double-teamed. Rone then put in a perfectly placed lob shot tie the score once again with a full three minutes to go. Both teams were unyielding on defense until the final buzzer of regulation, and the crowd was whipped into a frenzy at the prospect of overtime play. Both defenses dominated again in OT, as Bishop’s scored to take its final lead at 8-7 on a penalty shot by Wrobel late in the first 3-minute overtime period. Cody Smith knotted the game yet again for the Dons on their first possession of the second overtime, setting the stage for the final act, a 5-meter penalty shot by Colina with 1:27 remaining. Cathedral defended their only lead of the game for the remainder of the period, as Bishop’s was unable to mount a serious threat offensively. Viktor Wrobel and Jordan Colina led scorers with four goals each, while Cody Smith, Austin Rone, Evan Elig and Chriss Hewitt each contributed two to their teams’ efforts.

By Rick LeBeau In Nov. 17’s CIF Division III boys’ water polo championship final, Cathedral Catholic High School Dons played catch-up all game long, through regulation play and then into overtime, finally taking its first and only lead of the game with 90 seconds remaining in the second overtime period, then holding on 9-8 to give coach Bret Ormsby’s squad the crown. Playing at La Jolla’s Coggan pool, it looked promising early for The Bishop’s School Knights, who scored on their first possession when senior Chris Hewitt’s shot from 7 meters found its way through a thicket of outstretched arms to hit the back of the net. From there, Viktor Wrobel took over scoring duties for Bishop’s, scoring on a manadvantage situation and then again from outside to put the Knight’s up, 3-0, with just five minutes gone in the game. Moments later, Caleb Schultz blocked a penalty shot for the Knights, preserving the shutout. At that point it looked like it was going to be all Bishop’s. When Evan Elig scored with 2:13 to go in the half, the Knights once again had a threegoal lead in a contest that was increasingly dominated by defense. On their last possession of the first half, Bishop’s earned another ejection foul, and called time out. Coach Ormsby told his team that he just wanted a stop on that man-down situation, and even if they went into halftime down 4-1, they would figure out a way to scrape their way back into the game. Ormsby’s words were prescient, as the Dons did hold off the Knights for those 30 seconds, and started the third quarter with a renewed offensive purpose.

What brought you to La Jolla? I was lucky enough to be giving a seminar with my then fiancé, Richard Bolles, author of “What Color Is Your Parachute?” when during a break at the Catamaran Hotel, some of us decided to go over to La Jolla. We went to Alfonso’s for lunch. After seeing the rest of La Jolla, in particular the Cove, I fell in love with the town. It was my 36th birthday the next day and I got on a plane and landed at O’Hare Airport during one of the biggest blizzards Chicago ever had. When I got home, I made a decision that I wanted to spend the rest of my life in beautiful La Jolla. I feel very lucky to live in one of the most outstanding towns in the United States. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would return a movie theater to the Village. I believe it’s greatly missed and there are certain buildings in the Village that would be a perfect fit for a theater, restaurant, art gallery and fine shopping all in one.

Philanthropy 101 La Jolla Country Day School embraces new program for future philanthropists
La Jolla Country Day students taking part in the Philanthropy 101 program are Demi Surnamer, Rebecca Shanks, Cori Wong, Annalisa Race and Sheridan Rice. COURTESY local non-profits.” Rice said a big reason for participating from a student’s viewpoint is that this program is different from a typical school project. “There is a business component to it … plus we had so much leeway with what we wanted to do and so many opportunities that the San Diego Foundation is providing us.”

Race added, “I think for all of us, we just want to get our community and school more involved with philanthropy as a whole and get people to be more passionate about service and helping — and making people more aware of what’s happening in our community.” Wong said, “I think it’s important to participate in a program like
Philanthropy 101 because there’s not a lot of the young generation who know about (philanthropic) ideas and we need to make sure young people do that.” The students in the program start by surveying other students on topics they consider important. La Jolla Country Day participants chose homelessness as the issue they will pursue, and were given
$5,000 by the La Jolla Community Foundation under the umbrella of the San Diego Foundation to begin their efforts. The San Diego Foundation also supplied the students with an advisor, Lindsay Cadell, who is the previous director of the Philanthropy 101 program. Now that they’ve chosen their topic, the students are reviewing how to best tackle local homelessness by distributing cash — the initial $5,000 and any additional funds they independently raise. The students are researching local organizations they want to support. From there, they will contact these organizations for grant letters. It will be up to the students to determine which organizations get funding and how much. Students are also looking to host fund-raisers to add to the amount of cash they can distribute. One fund-raiser will be the annual La Jolla Palooza, held in May. This year’s Philanthropy 101 students will use the event for outreach and fund-raising for next

By Ashley Mackin Five students from the La Jolla Country Day School are working through the Philanthropy 101 program administered by the La Jolla Community Foundation as an affiliate of the San Diego Community Foundation to help the local homeless population. Juniors Corinne Wong and Demi Surnamer, and seniors Rebecca Shanks, Annalisa Race and Sheridan Rice said their emphasis would be on youth homelessness. Several La Jolla schools were offered the Philanthropy 101 program, but only La Jolla Country Day accepted the invitation to participate. “Through the leadership of a staff member from the Foundation and an assigned teacher or leader, the students in Philanthropy 101 actually operate much like a mini foundation,” said Charlene Pryor, director of the La Jolla Community Foundation. “They learn the A to Z of philanthropy — everything from determining a need by exploring community issues — all the way through to distributing grant money out to

Ring the dinner bell: Ranch-style favorites now served at Estancia’s Mustangs & Burros By Kelley Carlson our years ago, Estancia’s Mustangs & Burros transformed from a cosmopolitan watering hole into a full-service, ranch-style restaurant. Today’s version can accommodate anyone — from resort guests to locals — who desires an intimate fine-dining experience, family meal, group celebration or casualevening cocktail. “I love that we have so many different types of guests,” said Danny Fancher, director of food and beverage at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa. Many of them soak up the Spanish-themed atmosphere on two heated patios. The centerpiece of the main patio is a fireplace decorated with horse-head busts and pottery pieces. Nearby are wood tables with candle centerpieces and wrought-iron chairs. Around portions of the perimeter are long, brick benches amply cushioned with pillows in orange, brown, red and yellow. As evening approaches, lanterns that hang from the trellises overhead cast warm glows. “It’s an amazing atmosphere at nighttime,” Fancher said. Inside the restaurant, which served as a stable in the days before the resort was built, patrons can dine at one of the polished, dark-brown wood tables set with cobalt-blue glassware next to a fireplace and listen to the sounds of Spanish guitar. Or they may unwind in leather chairs at a

n This week: Mustangs & Burros’ Herbed Seared Sea Bass highboy table by the bar and follow playby-play action on two TV screens. Just like the restaurant’s atmosphere, the fare is fun. It’s basic, yet creatively prepared, and the selection is eclectic. Most items on the menu are listed with beer or wine pairing suggestions; the beers are predominantly craft-style, and the majority of wines are from Australia and Spain. For example, diners may consider beginning their meal with a Jumbo Crab Cake served with a chive remoulade and chayote slaw, paired with a Karl Strauss Windansea Hefeweizen; or perhaps the Mustangs Angus Burger topped with caramelized onions, a choice of cheese and cilantro aioli, along with a Stone Pale Ale. While reading the menu, patrons will
find the entrees divided into sections: n Salads and soups such as the Roasted Corn Soup with smoked chile, lime and crème fraiche compose the “Garden” portion. n “Farm” offers vegetarian and vegan options, including the Asparagus and Shiitake Risotto with balsamic syrup and sweet pea jus, which goes well with a Sarapo pinot noir. n A “Ranch” favorite is Pork Short Ribs, served with house-made barbecue sauce that contains a smokey IPA flavor, along with cocoa nibs and artichoke puree — a dish enhanced with a Falcor zinfandel. n “Sea” provides selections like the Pineapple Glazed Salmon with asparagus, heirloom tomatoes, fennel, sweet onion marmalade and crispy shallots, ideally complemented with a Harvest Girl pinot noir.
Although it emphasizes the pairings, Mustangs & Burros does have a full-service bar, which uses its own simple syrups. Among the specialty cocktail highlights is the Hot Mango Hop, a fizzy, chilled beverage with a kick that blends Ballast Point Vodka, spicy mango syrup, lemon juice, jalapeño and Yellowtail Pale Ale. Fancher noted that chef’s specials are available Friday and Saturday nights. For the holidays, Mustangs & Burros will continue to serve its regular menu, plus Jewish-inspired dishes for Hanukkah, Dec. 8-16. Among the items are Leek Latke with Smoked Salmon, Herb Poached Salmon with butter lettuce and lemon-garlic vinaigrette, and a Zinfandel Short Rib with parsnip and roasted vegetables.

Game’s on!
incredibly nice, and as she had been in the column biz a lot longer than I had, even shared some hot tips.
Let Inga tell you ... Editor’s note: This column is a collaborative effort between the La Jolla Light’s Inga, and Laura Walcher, humor columnist at the Presidio Sentinel. It is running simultaneously in both papers.
I
nga: At the San Diego Press Club Journalism Awards in 2010, the first year that my column in the Light was eligible, I won second place in the Humor division after Laura Walcher, who writes for the Presidio Sentinel. Sensing (correctly) that she would continue to be my chief competition, I hunted her down, er, looked her up, and invited her for coffee. Annoyingly, she was
Laura: Uh-oh. I was only “nice” to disguise my cutthroat competitive nature. I’m hoping she really embraces my long-discarded tips. Inga: We put each other on our distribution lists. This was not altogether a great idea. One of Laura’s pieces would show up in my In-box and I’d laugh myself silly, followed by a sober realization: Dang! I just lost again! And sure enough, in 2011, she was again first and I was (again) second. Was I simply going to have to outlive her to ever get first? Now, I suppose I should have been happy with second, but I’m a veteran of many years of youth sports. Second is the first loser. Laura: “First” is SO my favorite! If you’re going to
win first, best that you boot some super contender — that’s so satisfying!
Inga: Our awards are judged by a press club in another city to avoid all the ugly politics that are rampant in, well, politics. Laura’s style couldn’t be more different than mine, definitely more highbrow. I feared that some stuffy press club with pretentions, like San Francisco, was probably judging ours (I don’t think they even HAVE a Humor category) and I was doomed in perpetuity. The awards committee won’t reveal which club does the judging, probably to avoid the potential of mail bombs from people who come in second (not mentioning any names). But surely Arkansas has a press club? I could totally take Laura down. Laura: I am SO excited. “Highbrow” is just not a word that normally describes me ...? Must be my New York City origins? Or,
Inga just has more courage: she sends up her neighbors, friends, family, pets SO high … mine would stop talking to me altogether. Besides, mine provide less “material” all the time; now that my grandchildren are teenagers, they’re just NOT THAT FUNNY ANYMORE. Inga: Fortunately, the kids live out of town and Olof is simply resigned to being fodder. The neighbor whose sex life I wrote about used it to pimp dates. The pets have retained counsel. Laura: The thing we have in common, though, is that we never write fiction. Life provides. What worries me, though, is that, one of these days, she could have better material — I mean, just TAKE Olof, her husband; he’s such a source. (“Olof” — ? Hmm, to preserve the marriage, that name might be “fiction.”) Inga: The 2012 San Diego Press Club Awards
event took place Oct. 23 and Laura was one of the first people I saw when I got there. I thought I had some strong contenders (the Humor category is judged on individual columns) but so did she. This year, I got first and she got second. I figured that if I couldn’t be a gracious loser, I could at least be a gracious winner. I gave her my heartiest (nyeh nyeh) congratulations. Laura: Well, per chronology, she could outlive me. Then, she can try all my tricks? But now, she’s finally made a serious impression on journalism judges, probably because this year’s judging panels have no sense of humor. Inga: As for the 2013 Press Club awards?

There are endless ways to keep up service and most of us will be going to different parts of

the country, so working with different organizations (and) finding new ones there will definitely be interesting.” Shanks also said she plans to bring her service efforts to college because she wants to study medicine and travel abroad helping others. Added Rice, “Part of our mission statement is to inspire other students, so hopefully after this year, if we do everything well and it
goes smoothly, we will have inspired others and Corinne and Demi can lead the way.” Surnamer said she looks forward to taking over next year and carrying on the Philanthropy 101 program. “Hopefully (we’ll) fund a new issue and get the school involved again and do more surveys and see what worked this year and what we can change for next year to make it better.” LJCDS Community
Service Coordinator Susan Nordenger said the Philanthropy 101 program is a good fit for Country Day students. “The kids here really care about their community and the world around them, and they’re taking (to heart) what they’re learning in classes. What we like doing here is empowering kids and letting them take on a project and take ownership of it.”
I think it’s important to participate “ in a program like Philanthropy 101 because there’s not a lot of the young generation who know about (philanthropic) ideas and we need to make sure young people do that.

FROM PRESIDIO, B1 excavations at the Presidio, called it, “One of the most important and best-preserved Spanish colonial sites in the entire Western United States.” But if the Royal Presidio is so important, why is it buried under 4 feet of earth and covered with grass? Why hasn’t it been unearthed, restored, and turned into an educational and cultural center that could benefit the city of San Diego? Myra Herrmann, senior planner/archaeology, environmental analysis section of the city’s development services department; said the city hopes to do just that, but until it completes an analysis of the artifacts and oral histories it currently possesses, “you wouldn’t want to start an excavation or do a reconstruction.” Herrmann said the San Diego Presidio Park Council meets at 4:30 p.m. the third Wednesdays of the month in Balboa Park, and shares Chace’s dream for the site. “I don’t think anyone has a price-tag on what such a project would cost,” Hermann said. “And it would have to be accomplished in phases

The other presidios are at Santa Barbara, Monterey and San Francis-
co, but they were built later. At its heyday, the San Diego Presidio housed upwards of 100 leather-jacketed soldiers and 500 civilians, including Native Americans from various tribes in upper and lower California. Although there were “pure-blooded” Spanish, as well as other nationalities (including English and Russian), living at the

presidio, most of the soldiers and civilians were from Baja California or Sonora. Historian Steve Van Wormer describes them as, “Largely of a pioneer stock who had adapted to the deserts of Northern Mexico in Sonora and Baja and who brought this desert culture with them to San Diego.” “For the first 60 years of
operation,” Chace explained, “everyone had to live inside the walls of the fort made from adobe bricks. But after the Mexican Revolution, which freed Mexico from the rule of Spain, the Presidio was not funded and it fell into disrepair. Soon after that, the people of the Presidio began to move down the hill to live in Old Town. By 1835, the Presidio was totally abandoned.” The Presidio was also the first site of interaction between Native Americans and Europeans in California. When the Spanish arrived, they were confronted with a large Native American village at the foot of Presidio Hill called “Cosoy.” Although there were some instances of conflict, the Native Americans were soon integrated into the daily life at the Presidio. Native American expert Richard Carrico discovered that the first five marriages at the Presidio were between Hispanics and local Native American women and the first six burials were Native American. Through the years, the fortress at the Presidio has been subject to six

archeological investigations. In 1999, after the last one, the city reburied the entire site under 4 feet of earth to try and protect it from vandalism and the elements. Since then, there has not been any further excavation, but the existing collections of archaeological artifacts have been subject to a small amount of study. Paleontologist Mark Roeder has cataloged thousands of fish bones found at the Presidio. Roeder speculates Indians were fishing for the Spanish using tule boats in the local kelp beds with the most favorite fish being sheephead. Aaron Sassoon and Susie Arter of the Zooarchaeology Lab at the Museum of Natural History in Balboa Park have been analyzing bird bones from the Presidio. They believe raising chickens was an import activity at the Presidio. Also in the collections are thousands of cattle bones, ceramics and shell fragments.

Silvas would like to see a marker for the graves of people buried at the Presidio erected on the site. Currently, there is only one marker there for a man named Sylvester Plattie. Unfortunately, the city policy is not to put up such markers or memorials, Chace said. The problem of the lack of development of the Presidio by the city as a resource dates back to when George Marston bought the land to protect the site and built Juniper Sierra Museum in the 1920s. Marston tried to give his park to the city, but for many years, San Diego officials refused to accept it. There are some people who say, off the record, that the city does not want to promote the Presidio because its points out that San Diego was developed by meztizos from Baja California and Sonora, who were the first settlers and soldiers, and by the local Indian groups with who they intermarried and not Anglo Saxon entrepreneurs, cowboys and pioneers. To confront these issues, Chace conducts a monthly sharing circle in the second-floor meeting room above El Fandango restaurant, 2734 Calhoun St. in Old Town State Park. During the gathering, 6-7:30 p.m. on the last Thursday of each month, attendees discuss the past and future of the Presidio. Attendees have included historians, archeologists, natural scientists, city officials, park rangers, Native Americans, Presidio descendants and concerned citizens.

true or false? A Twinkie contains 2.5 grams of saturated fat, representing 13 percent of the recommended daily intake of saturated fat based on a 2,000 calorie diet. True. Twinkies were invented in Schiller Park, Ill., in 1930 by James Alexander Dewar, a baker for the Continental Baking Company, a forerunner of Hostess Bakery. Realizing that several machines used to make cream-filled strawberry shortcake sat idle when strawberries were out of season, Dewar conceived a snack cake filled with banana cream, which he dubbed the Twinkie. During World War II, bananas were rationed and the company was forced to switch to vanilla cream. Dewar rose to be regional vice-president at Hostess and held that position until 1972. He died on June 30, 1985. — wikipedia

Musical contrasts will fill the air at next Symphony & Chorus concert From LJS&C Reports
The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus presents its second concert of the 58th season inspired by Wallace Stegner’s novel about the American West, “Angle of Repose.” The December program, titled “Dark/Bright,” offers bright works of texture and musical color by Handel and Brahms, set off against the darker hues and stirring passions of Arnold Schoenberg and Luigi Dallapiccola. Music director Steven Schick will conduct the concerts featuring orchestra and chorus, Dec. 8 and 9, in UC San Diego’s Mandeville Auditorium. n The program will begin with Handel’s “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba,” a popular three-minute Sinfonia in the composer’s oratorio “Solomon,” composed in 1748. The music evokes a royal, grand entrance befitting a queen, and sets the stage for the contrasts of light and dark to come. n Brahm’s “Nänie,” for chorus and orchestra (com-

town square on a quite summer night lit by moonlight. The piece might be described as a nocturne for orchestra, a mood-piece that tries to capture the sultry, lonely atmosphere of Machado’s poem. It is one of Dallapiccola’s most frequently performed compositions.
n Arnold Schoenberg’s “Five Pieces for Orchestra,” composed in 1909, are his first atonal works. These five brief movements may be thought of as “mood” pieces — each generates a particular atmosphere. Throughout, the emphasis is on instrumental color; melodies tend to be fragmentary, with the line leaping from section to
section and acquiring different colors as it proceeds. n Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola composed “Piccola Musica Notturna” as a commission by German conductor Hermann Scherchen in 1954. The title translates to a “little night music.” However, the inspiration, rather than Mozartian, is Antonio Machado’s poem “Noche de verano” (“Summer Night”), a contemplation of an empty
n The program concludes with Brahm’s “Triumphlied” or “song of triumph,” written in 1870-71 in
commemoration of the victories of the German army and unification of Germany. Brahms’ use of double chorus spreads the vocal line over eight parts, and he contrasts the sound of these choruses with a baritone soloist, 2012 Young Artists Winner Anthony Martini-Whitson, in the final movement. Combined with huge orchestra, these forces make some of the grandest sounds Brahms ever created.

www.lajollalight.com FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 We have some of the best restaurants, and it would be lovely to be able to go to dinner and a movie in town. I would also like to see more open space. And of course, I would encourage all La Jolla residents to become members of the La Jolla Community Center on La Jolla Boulevard and volunteer. Who inspires you? That would be the volunteers, sponsors and donors of the La Jolla Community Center who give back freely and have a lifetime of experiences to share. The simple things that people do to help others inspire me. If you hosted a dinner

party for eight, whom would you invite? There are many individuals who have volunteered to make La Jolla the fabulous place it is. The following are just a few who I would enjoy having dinner with: I would invite Anne Kerr Bache for her 14 years of devotion in organizing the La Jolla Christmas Parade; Phil Coller for his stellar organization of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association; Cindy Greatrex, colleague and president of both the La Jolla Town Council and Independent La Jolla; Don Hodges, colleague, for his time, energy and contributions to the Kiwanis Club and La Jolla Community Center; Lee
Vida, colleague and member of the La Jolla Rotary Club for all he has given selflessly; Glen Rasmussen, colleague, for his 30-plus years of volunteerism in the Village and his work at the La Jolla Community Center; Susan DeMaggio, for her outstanding job as editor at the La Jolla Light; and lastly, Sherry Ahern, colleague and founder of the La Jolla Open Aire Market and the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival, because she will have us laughing all night long. I would have my dear friends, Chef Urs and Ursula Baumann, plan a beautiful sunset dinner for us on my rooftop. What are you reading? I read the New York Times
cover to cover, every day for updates on current events, finance, art, music, medicine and books to read. A book that truly influenced my thinking was “History of Religion.” I am currently reading “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln” by Doris Kearns Goodwin, “Beautiful Ruin” by Jess Walter and “The Chaperone” by Laura Moriarty.
volunteering with a pure heart without expecting anything in return.
What is your greatest achievement? By far, my greatest achievement has been making a major impact at the La Jolla Community Center by helping to provide excellent programs for the community that will go on for years and years to come. I believe in giving back to the community and
What is your mostmarked characteristic? I believe I am focused and have a positive outlook in life. I am a self-starter and a problem-solver. I’ve also been told I’m generous and witty, and I am somebody who makes things happen.
What is your mostprized possession? That would be my wonderful family and friends, and my Bishon Frise, Precious. I also cherish historical photos of my ancestors that are nearly 100 years old.
What is your philosophy of life?
One must develop his or her own mission and purpose in life. Just go for it in life and have fun while you’re doing it. Make everything you do in life unique, not just ordinary. What would be your dream vacation? I would enjoy going back to some of the most interesting cities in the world: San Francisco for the view; New York for people watching and restaurants; London for the theaters; Paris for the cafés and the flea markets; Vienna, Austria for desserts and concerts; Prague for its night life; and Morocco, Fez, Marrakech and Casablanca for their unique culture and architecture. To finish it off, a cruise around the Greek Islands!

uests of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus gathered at the Del Mar Marriott on Oct. 13 for this year’s gala fundraiser, “Midnight in Paris.” As partygoers arrived, they were transported to Jazz-Age Paris with thematic décor. Many dressed for the part in boas, flapper dresses, beads and other chic 1920’s garb. The evening began with a hosted reception, silent auction and opportunity drawing for an “Instant Wine Cellar.” Then the curtains to the ballroom parted, and guests entered for dinner to the sounds of Cole Porter’s “I Love Paris,” performed by Big Band Express. During the evening, Music Director Steven Schick recognized honoree Bonnie Wright with a special tribute as the LJS&C Arts Angel 2012 for her visionary concert presentations and support of local artists. A second surprise tribute was made in the name of love when guest Randy Stewart took center stage on the dance floor and proposed to his date, Trisha Snider, with 125 guests as witness.

Dancer’s got the moves like Jackson in tribute show Let’s Review
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt
D
evra Gregory’s bio is a little unusual. She started out as a young ballerina, moved on to jazz dance, went from performing in kids’ shows at SeaWorld to being a Las Vegas showgirl and an “exotic dancer,” and then found her greatest success as a Michael Jackson impersonator. In 2010, a year after the death of the megastar who was as famous for his moonwalking moves as his music, she produced and starred in “Man in the Mirror,” an MJ tribute at Jewish Community Center’s Garfield Theater in La Jolla. This year, she won a Bravo San Diego Award for “Woman in the Mirror,” a look at her own life in dance that she wrote and performed at the Tenth Avenue Theater in May. Now the piece has been revised, re-directed, and ramped-up for a pre-holiday week at The Lyceum Space, starting Dec. 1.
If you go ■ What: ‘Woman in the Mirror: A Dancer’s Journey’ ■ When: Matinees/ evenings Dec. 1-9 ■ Where: Lyceum Theatre Space at Horton Plaza ■ Tickets: $31-$58 ■ Box Office: (619) 544-1000 ■ Website: lyceumevents.org ■ Moon-walking lessons: DEVasMJ.com She calls it “reality theater.” The theme, she says, is “transformation” — all the changes she’s gone through in her personal and professional life. And she hopes to inspire others with the sense of empowerment she found along the way, as she kept on exploring different dance styles, life styles, and spiritual paths, always ready to rise to a new challenge. But how did a nice Jewish
Different phases of Devra Gregory in ‘Woman in the Mirror: A Dancer’s Journey’ at the Lyceum Theatre Dec. 1-9. Photos by Manuel Rotenberg girl from Chula Vista find herself playing Michael Jackson? In the late 1990s, she was part of a Vegas act on the island of Aruba, and there was an MJ impersonator in the show. “One night, I was watching him, and somehow the idea went off in my head that maybe a woman could do this,” she said. “I’d never really been a fan, but once I bought Michael’s videos, and started
to study his moves, I understood why he had such a fanatic fan base. He exudes such a compelling energy! I had to find a way to impersonate that, too.” She spent many months learning a whole new system of movement, developing the right “body camouflage” and working up a routine, which she finally got to perform for a week in Aruba. Back in San Diego, she continued playing Michael,
which she has been doing professionally for more than 10 years. “I wasn’t born a princess,” she said. “I didn’t have a king to support me. But now the King of Pop is supporting me!” She’s gone beyond dancing, too, honing her skills in choreography, acting, writing and costume design, delving into meditation and nature-based spirituality, leading women’s empower-
ment rituals, and becoming a certified Massage Therapist — her “day gig.” These days, her focus is the new, improved “Woman in the Mirror.” “It’s a culmination of all my life’s work,” she said. “Not just me doing someone else, but me doing me, in all my incarnations.” How has the show changed since its original awardwinning production? It’s got a tighter script, a new look, and a new pair of directors — Andy Lowe, producer/ director of Chinese Pirate Productions, and Rhys Green, artistic director of San Diego Black Ensemble Theatre. “Rehearsals are interesting,” Gregory said. “I get two different angles. If one misses something, the other fills in.” “Woman in the Mirror” is an invitation to come along on an unusual journey. Audiences will surely thrill to Gregory’s onstage transformations — “shapeshifting” — as she goes from one character to the next. It’s touching, fascinating, and funny.
For fun and flavor, make it a holiday full of ginger confess I do feel somewhat uncomfortable, even cannibalistic, when chowing down on a leg or an arm of the Gingerbread Man!)
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman “An I had but one penny in the world, thou should’st have it to buy gingerbread.” — William Shakespeare, ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’
G
ingerbread is the quintessential treat for the holidays. A Christmas without this seasonal delight is like New Year’s without bubbly. Whether your sugar-andspice and candied-sweet vice comes in the form of the adorable Gingerbread Man, decorated cookies, crispy snaps, rich dark loaves or an enchanting gingerbread house, you’re in for a divine sensory experience. The blissful aroma will pull you into the heavenly blend of flavors that’ll hook you for good. (Although, I must
Historically speaking Gingerbread is an old soul, around since the days of Ancient Greece and Egypt where it was used for rituals and religious ceremonies. Food folklorists believe the 11th century crusaders imported the culinary novelty to Western Europe via the Mediterranean. A popular treat in medieval Europe for festivals and fairs, the gingerbread had romantic and superstitious connotations as Ladies gave their Knights in shining armor a piece for good luck in battle (and secretly ate a “Gingerbread Husband” for wishful matrimonial thinking). Germany was also a big fan of gingerbread cookies aka Lebkuchen, a staple at street festivals, while the gingerbread houses were all the rage following the publishing of the Brothers Grimm tale of “Hansel and Gretel” who stumbled upon the witch’s candy cottage.
Gingerbread People Cookies ■ Ingredients: • 12 ounces unbleached flour • 6 ounces brown sugar • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • 4 tablespoons molasses • 4 ounces butter (softened at room temperature) • 1 large egg •R aisins, currants, chocolate chips or gum drops for decorations
As for the creation of the Gingerbread Man, Queen Elizabeth lays as solid a claim as any, presenting to visiting dignitaries baked gingerbread replicas of themselves. On the homefront Americans have been enjoying the spicy delight for two centuries, while George Washington’s mom was known for baking batches shaped like diminutive kings and eagles. In these parts, Old World Flemish baker Francois Goedhuys of Girard’s Gourmet in La Jolla whips up from scratch nondiscriminatory Gingerbread Men and their female
■ Method: Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer blend flour, butter, spices and baking soda until crumbly. Add sugar, molasses, and egg until a smooth pastry dough forms. Roll out dough 1/4-inch thick on a floured board. Cut out shapes with favorite cookie cutters. Decorate facial features with currants, chocolate chips or candies. Gingerly (ha, ha) transfer cookies to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Cool and decorate with icing, if desired.
counterparts with wheat flour, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, of course, all beautifully decorated with glossy icing. The master baker customizes the decorations, and will even write personalized names on the gingerbread people to use as creative (and tasty) place-card settings for holiday tables. Village Mill Bread Company in Carmel Valley bakes both large gingerbread figures (6-inches long), along with little people, tree ornaments, snowmen, stockings, bells, dreidels and menorahs (for Chanukah) in both gingerbread and sugar cookie doughs. They also sell undecorated
versions along with colored frostings and pastry bags to jazz up at home. Cupcake Love in Solana Beach offers Gingerbread Man cupcakes topped with vanilla bean whipped cream and miniature gingerbread cookies as flavor of the month for December. Starbucks does a riff on the treat with a gingerbread loaf spice cake smothered in sweet cream cheese icing and candied orange peel. You can then wash it all down with gingerbread latte — a blend of espresso, steamed milk and gingerbread syrup topped with whipped cream and ground nutmeg.

As for gingerbread houses, The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego is the creative architect behind the 19th annual Gingerbread City Gala and Structure Competition, with the theme “Myths and Legends,” hosted by the Grand Del Mar Nov. 29. It’s a charity extravaganza unparalleled in magnitude on the West Coast. There are two categories — grand and petite — with strict rules and high stakes, including $2,500 first prize in the grand category.
