Fay Avenue Bike Path is not part of open space dedication By Pat Sherman The San Diego City Council voted to dedicate nearly 6,600 city-owned acres as open space during its Nov. 27 meeting. The mass dedication, however, did not include lands comprising the Fay Avenue Bike Path, as some La Jollans hoped. The scenic bike path — stretching from Nautilus Street south to Turquoise Street in Pacific Beach — is currently “designated” as open space, meaning a majority city council vote could change its use, potentially making it available for sale to a private developer. “Dedicating” the land would provide an additional layer of protection by requiring a two-thirds majority public vote to transfer the land for an alternate use. District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner expressed support for dedicating the Fay Avenue Bike Path by adding it to the list of parcels to be considered for dedication at a Land Use and Housing Committee SEE BIKE PATH, A5
Local officials still grappling with Cove stench NEWS UPDATE By Pat Sherman During the Nov. 26 meeting of the La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. (LJP&B) city advisory group, retired attorney Mark Evans, the community’s point person on the stench emanating from La Jolla Cove, offered an update on the situation. Though progress is slow, he said, “I think we’re moving in the right direction.” Several companies have come forward to suggest spraying the rocks with their organic, non-toxic solvents as a means of breaking down the seabird guano and eliminating the odor, though environmental and bureaucratic regulations have thus far precluded the products’ use. La Jolla Cove is designated as an Area of Special Biological Significance by the state. “We have to find somewhere, someplace that is suitable to test these products that is not as environmentally sensitive as La Jolla Cove,” Evans said. “We’ve also tried to find some agency, probably in the county, that’s equipped and willing to test the air quality. “Even though (the bird excrement) is natural and flows into the ocean with the rains, it is viewed apparently as a pollutant if you do
“
Once people
are back on the bluffs, the birds won’t be there and the nightmare will be over.
”

Merryweather La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. member something unnaturally” to wash it into the ocean, Evans added. Some have suggested sandblasting the rocks with a containment mechanism to assure that nothing goes back in the ocean. Others have suggested collecting or “harvesting” the guano for sale as fertilizer. Evans said that if there is a risk of guano or discharge entering the ocean, removing it requires a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit as mandated by the federal Clean Water Act.
Ray Weiss, a chemist with Scripps Institution of Oceanography, said a lack of oxygen permeating the layers of excrement on rocks at La Jolla Cove is allowing stench-inducing bacteria to flourish. Pat Sherman However, due to a backlog in permit applications, the request could take two to three years to process, Evans said. Evans said he hopes Mayor Bob Filner will urge city staff to be “super helpful” in finding a solution to the problem. Both Filner and state Senator-elect Marty Block were taken on “a smelling tour” of the Cove by La Jolla Village Merchants Association board President Phil Coller, during which Evans said Filner apparently became nauseated.
Evans also hopes Congressmanelect Scott Peters will help by “peppering the EPA at the federal level with questions, because it may help inform what the water quality control board does here.” District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner recently wrote a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown asking him to help speed up the bureaucratic process for a cleanup. A city council resolution on the issue

Winner: ‘Fishing on the Cliffs’ by Jenny Chen
Kudos to Bowers Jewelers Light readers submit their
K
udos to Larry and Sheila Combe, owners of Bowers Jewelers at 7860 Girard Ave., for their festive and charming display of Dickens Village miniatures in their storefront window. Their holiday village within La Jolla Village has delighted both adults and children; passerbys have been known to stare into the window for several minutes to admire all the intricate details. “Seeing it makes people happy and represents the spirit of Christmas,” Sheila Combe said. Window gazers especially love the trees
with blinking lights and numerous moving pieces, which include ice skaters, swans, a watermill and Santa Claus in his sleigh flying with reindeer. Inside Ebenezer Scrooge’s home, one can see a ghost circling around Mr. Scrooge. The Combes have showcased their Dickens Village of about 60 pieces for the past five years. Some of the pieces are not for sale, but if they have duplicates, they’re willing to sell them. The miniatures are on display at Bowers Jewelers from Thanksgiving through the first week in January. — Daniel K. Lew

Preservationists fearful about the fate of post office mural By Ashley Mackin Adding to concerns surrounding the possible sale of the La Jolla post office at 1140 Wall St., are worries about the Belle Baranceanu mural that hangs there. Post office supporters are concerned that if the building is sold, the mural, which is rare and historically significant, will not be properly preserved. The La Jolla Light is working to report a monetary value for the mural. Commissioned by the Public Works of Art Project during the New Deal in 1934, the mural depicts a colorful, cubist-style La Jolla Village landscape. As part of its PWA project during the height of The Great Depression, the U.S. government turned to local artists to create paintings for federal buildings, particularly post offices. Across the country, 1,400 murals were created as a result. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) oversaw these pieces until its termination in 1942.
Who was Belle Baranceanu? ■ Belle Goldschlager Baranceanu was born July 17, 1902 in Chicago to Rumanian immigrants, who separated during her childhood. ■ She grew up on her maternal grandparents’ North Dakota farm. ■ She studied at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts under Anthony Angarola, to whom she was engaged until his death in 1929. ■ Active in Chicago during the 1920s as a teacher and exhibitor, she worked in Los Angeles, 1927-1928.
The WPA-era mural, ‘Scenic View of the Village,’ by Belle Baranceanu hangs on a wall in the La Jolla post office at 1140 Wall St. Ashley Mackin Currently, the General Services Administration (GSA) inventories the pieces if they hang in a federal building the GSA owns. They do not own the Wall Street post office, the United States Postal Service does.
La Jolla Historical Society Director Health Fox said the WPA commissioned Baranceanu to do seven pieces, but only two are still in existence — the one at the La Jolla post office and one in the Balboa Club in
Balboa Park. Non-WPA works by Baranceanu are exhibited in galleries across the country, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
■ She moved to San Diego in 1933. During the Great Depression she painted murals at the La Jolla post Belle Baranceanu Courtesy chicagomodern.org office and Roosevelt Jr. High School as part of the Public Works of Art Project. ■ She exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago, Carnegie Institute, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Denver Art Museum, and others. ■ Baranceanu taught at the La Jolla School of Arts & Crafts, and Frances Parker School. ■ She died in La Jolla on Jan. 17, 1988.

The scenic Fay Avenue Bike Path is a popular spot for both people and canines to get some fresh air and exercise. Pat Sherman FROM BIKE PATH, A1 meeting in October. However, the city attorney’s office said that land can not be dedicated without a parcel number or a “legal description” — neither of which the Fay Avenue Bike Path currently has. A representative from Lightner’s office said the councilwoman would work to obtain a parcel number and ensure its dedication in the future. Lightner has also established measures that will aid the dedication of additional lands, including an annual review of open space. “Going forward, we are putting together a five-year
plan to dedicate even more open space, such as the Fay Avenue Bike Path,” Lightner said, in a statement. An additional roadblock to dedicating the Fay Avenue Bike Path is that it was acquired in the 1960s for a planned extension of Fay Avenue south through Bird Rock — a plan the city has since rejected. The bike path would first require a street vacation — a process that could take years and includes consideration of encroachments by adjacent property owners. One portion of the path traverses through land that is owned by La Jolla United Methodist Church.

Gillispie School acquires new land for sports field By Pat Sherman The Gillispie School has purchased a 7,500 square-foot parcel at 7411 Fay Ave. for use as a sports field. The independent learning institution purchased the land and single-family residence this fall for $1,050,000. The field will be set back from the street by 15 feet with landscaping fronting Fay Avenue, and include a playing field for children and seating area for instruction. Gillispie’s building and grounds
committee chair Mike Ryan said school officials hope demolition of the home and field construction will begin during Spring break and be complete by mid-June. “It’ll be strictly for school use,” Ryan said. “This will give (the children) an area to run, play kickball and practice their soccer skills.” The school purchased a lot on Girard Avenue earlier this year, two doors down from the school. Gillispie officials initially planned to relocate its parking lot to that

site, while converting the existing parking lot into a sports field. However, they ultimately decided it would be best to have all school property, including the parking lot, be contiguous. Ryan said he is not sure what the school intends to do with the property it purchased on Girard, though he said it will likely be sold. “We will discuss what to do with that property after the first of the year,” he said. School officials met with the city prior to
Thanksgiving and received a favorable review of the project, Ryan said. “We are not asking for any variances,” he said. “It’s applicable with underlying zoning to have a sports field there.” Ryan said the community’s Development Permit Review Committee would consider the project at its Dec. 18 meeting. He said he hopes to present the project to the La Jolla Community Planning Association for approval in January or February.

Redevelopment of ‘Windemere’ site moving too fast for preservationists By Pat Sherman It has been nearly a year since historic preservationists received a giant lump of coal in their holiday stockings — the Dec. 23, 2011 demolition of architect Irving Gill’s Windemere Cottage at 1328 Virginia Way. Though the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) fought to obtain a historic designation for the 1894 Craftsman-style structure (one of Gill’s earliest designs), San Diego’s Historical Resources Board failed to deem it historic, citing a “lack of integrity.” Now, the property owner is on a fast track to redevelop the site and construct a 4,918-square-foot, two-story home with a basement, detached garage and guest quarters — a proposal preservationists feel is moving much too fast. Representatives for Golba Architecture are seeking to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for the project through the city’s Sustainable Building Expedite Program. The program reduces the time it takes city staff to review development permit requests by as much as 75 percent, in exchange for incorporating environmentally sustainable materials and energy-saving devices like solar panels. The project was heard by the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) on Nov. 20. LJHS Preservation Committee Chair Leslie Davis, who attended the DPR meeting, noted that the property was referred to on the agenda as the Bernate Ticino Residence, with no reference to its property owner or Windemere Cottage. “I thought, boy, they were definitely trying to slide this thing in under the radar,” Davis said. In a letter sent to project manager Laura Black with San Diego’s Development Services Department, the Preservation Committee requested that a full environmental impact report be conducted on the property, which was not done prior to the demolition of Windemere. “There could be artifacts on the property based on the historic nature of that cottage,” said Davis, who also requested the city conduct a California Environmental
Davis also requested that the environmental report outline Windemere’s “alleged structural failures, … how they were created, and who created them. “Mitigation should include, first and foremost, reconstruction of the lost structure,” Davis wrote. In his own letter to the city, Dan Soderberg, chair of the Neighborhood Historic Preservation Coalition, wrote that “after the applicant purchased this property, character defining features of Windemere Cottage were systematically removed or destroyed in an apparent effort to render the building void of historic integrity. … “Our coalition asks for a complete review of this application, including the flawed Historical Resources Board designation process.” Davis said that when questioned by DPR members as to what was on the Virginia Way property previously, a Golba Architecture representative responded, “a vacant lot.” “She tried to pretend that she had no idea what (was there),” Davis said. “They didn’t have any contextual photos either of any of the things that you would typically have wanted. The (DPR) committee was not too happy with that.” Though Davis characterized the proposed development as a “French Monster,” DPR Chair Paul Benton said the proposed development is closer to an Italian chalet, rectangular, and “very conservative.” However, Benton said, DPR members had many questions about the demolition of Windemere, the appearance of the proposed development and its relationship to surrounding residential structures. “It’s a fairly small lot (6,995 square feet), with buildings very close on both sides,” Benton said. “The (design) issues are focused on the appearance, and the height and mass of it.” DPR members requested a litany of additional information on the project before moving the discussion to a future DPR meeting, mostly likely Dec. 11. The Development Permit Review Committee meets 4 p.m. the second and third Tuesdays of the month at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.
Irving Gill’s Windemere Cottage, one of the state’s earliest examples of Craftsman-style architecture, was demolished unexpectedly on Dec. 23, 2011. Courtesy Quality Act report. Prior to demolition, Windemere was deemed historically significant by staff at the California State Office of Historic Preservation. “The site was noticed for public hearing, which prompted the owner to quickly demolish it just prior to Christmas Eve, on the excuse that the building was unstable and not fit for habitation,” wrote Davis, on behalf of the Preservation Committee. “It should be noted that any instability was created by the owner itself, by directing the removal of the roof brackets, eaves, and other features critical to the stability of the singlewall construction methodology of this rare, two-story structure.” Davis said the property owner previously expressed willingness to relocate Windemere to an alternate site. “The society believed that the owner was negotiating with it in good faith,” Davis wrote.

Shop owner seeks to replace Cove bluff plantings that ruffled residents’ feathers earlier this year By Pat Sherman Jim Allen, the owner of Sunny Jim Cave store at the north end of Coast Boulevard, is hoping his plan to add native vegetation and post-and-chain barriers to a coastal bluff adjacent his shop will get the green light from community members and the city. Allen said he also hopes his plan will appease community members who were upset by small Torrey pine trees and other non-native vegetation he placed there earlier this year, without permits, in order to keep people off the bluff and slow erosion. Allen recently hired La Jolla landscape architect Jim Neri to devise a plan for re-vegetation and erosion control measures on the bluff at Goldfish Point (adjacent the Coast Walk hiking path). “Let’s remove the wellintentioned plantings and replace them with proper plantings that won’t require supplemental watering,” Neri said during a Nov. 26 presentation to the La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. (LJP&B) city advisory group. LJP&B board member Melinda Merryweather, who alerted city officials to Allen’s unpermitted plantings earlier this year, said she approves of Neri’s plan, as long as it allows access to a path leading to the rocks below, which divers can use to enter the ocean. “Mr. Allen is willing to comply and he’s willing to pay for the improvements, so it’s a win-win situation,” she said. Native vegetation such as coastal sage scrub would be

The bluff is accessed through a gate the city added in the 1990s. Allen’s plan calls for adding a circular, post-and-chain barrier inside the gate. Neri said another option to stop people from accessing the bluff is to close the gate off entirely. However, he said, adding a post-and-chain corral beyond the gate would limit bluff access while still providing just enough human presence to deter birds from roosting on the bluff.
“If divers want to go diving, they simply step over the chain and go down the path that leads to the rocks below” at their own risk, Neri said. “If we close (the gate) off completely, we’re going to have more of the same seabird stench that we have now, except now it will concentrate in this area.” Neri’s plan also calls for filling a deep fissure on the bluff that was created during a storm in the 1990s. Grading conducted at the site at that time (when the Goldfish Point observation deck and other city improvements were added) allowed storm water to rush down the slope and carve a rut into the cliffs above Emerald Cave, a popular spot for kayakers.
The cliffs at Goldfish Point are also a popular access point for divers. Photos by Pat Sherman
Neri’s plan involves using local cobblestones to fill the fissure. “As the soil erodes it will fill in the space between the cobble and … slow down the process of erosion,” Neri explained. “We’re not ever going to beat nature, but we can certainly slow some things down.” Following Neri’s presentation, LJP&B board members approved the plan, 13-0. Neri will present his plans to the La Jolla Community Planning Association for approval at today’s meeting, 6 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center. The city’s Development Services Department spokeswoman, Lynda Pfeifer, said Allen could be required to apply for an engineering permit, Site Development Permit and Coastal Development Permit to do the work.

The FBI cites fraudulent n classified ads or auction sites, giftcard scams, and “phishing” on social networking sites and e-mail. When it comes to shopping for the holidays, the FBI issued tips on safe Internet shopping, with the caution to interact with gift providers as directly as possible. This advice is especially geared toward responding to classified ads or when buying gift cards. The FBI warns to not give bank account or credit card information to sellers, and to always use legitimate payment services to protect that information. When buying gift cards, the FBI suggests buying from the merchant or authorized retailer directly. When shopping online, go to the sites directly. Do not respond to or open links found in spam e-mails, and when an e-mail provides a link to a site, avoid filling out forms that ask for personal information. An active scam involves e-mails or text messages indicating a problem or question regarding your financial accounts. “In this scam, you are directed to follow a link or call the number provided in the message to update your account or correct the problem. The link actually directs you to a fraudulent website or message that appears legitimate; however, any personal information you provide, such as account number and personal identification number (PIN), will be stolen,” the FBI stated through a press release. Finally, the FBI cautions consumers to be wary of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files as they may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders, and always run a virus scan on an attachment before opening it. When in doubt, contact the actual business that supposedly sent the e-mail to verify it is genuine.

By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Traffic and Transportation Board voted at its Nov. 29 meeting to deny short-term parking spaces for the Puesto restaurant, located at 1026 Wall St. The restaurant owners requested two 15-minute parking spaces in front of their building. Marco Cortez, on behalf of the Puesto restaurant, said it circulated a petition
to the businesses on the 1000 block of Wall Street asking for support, and presented the signatures at the meeting. However, the board determined there are several other green zones within the city block, including two in front of the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library at 1008 Wall St. Additionally, there was concern it would cause confusion regarding the
hours, given the petitioners were requesting the short-time parking end at 5 p.m., while city-regulated short-term parking ends at 6 p.m. There was also discussion about there not being enough long-term parking in the area. A motion was made to deny the project. It passed 4-3. The restaurant will now take its request to the La Jolla Community Planning Association.
La Jolla Parks & Beaches Board takes actions n Soledad lighting approved Following a presentation by a representative of the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association, La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) members voted 10-3 to approve proposed lighting for the veterans memorial, with reduced intensity, at the group’s Nov. 26 meeting. The plan includes step lighting at the end of six memorial walls from sunset to 10 p.m. and all-night lighting of the U.S. flag — both of which were positively received during tests in July and November. The association said it would lower the flag and turn the lights off in anticipation of meteor showers or other celestial events. To inform the association of such an event, phone (858) 459-2314. LJP&B member Fran Zimmerman expressed concern about the addition
of four walls atop the memorial site, instead of two, which she said the association initially presented. “I feel you are encroaching constantly on the public’s goodwill as you proceed with the growing of this memorial,” she said. An electronic kiosk to help visitors locate plaques will be added to the site, though it will not include lighting. n Officer elections in January LJP&B will hold officer elections at its next meeting, Jan. 28 at La Jolla Rec Center. The group voted during its Nov. 26 meeting to go dark in December. A nominating committee comprised of LJP&B member Debbie Beacham, board President Patrick Ahern and Secretary Anne Podney recommended the following as officers: Dan Allen (president), John Beaver (vice
president), Rebecca Morales (secretary) and Phyllis Minick (treasurer). “If anybody else wants to jump in and says, ‘I’d like that job,’ let us know as soon as possible and we’ll put you on the slate,’” said Ahern, who will remain active in LJP&B, but is stepping down as president to devote more time to his real estate business. Ahern took the reigns as LJP&B’s interim president in July 2011, when the group broke away from the La Jolla Town Council to establish itself as an independent nonprofit. The group directly advises the city on most of La Jolla’s coastal park assets, excluding the La Jolla Rec Center and those in La Jolla Shores. The city now prefers its advisory recreation councils to be nonprofits. The La Jolla Town Council is a duespaying organization, so LJP&B decided to break away last year.

Bird Rock Elementary competing for $50,000 music grant By Ashley Mackin Bird Rock Elementary School is competing to win $50,000 through the Power A Bright Future grant program sponsored by the Clorox (bleach) Company. The program counts community votes to determine the winning schools. The deadline to vote is Dec. 19 and those interested can vote once a day by texting 2309pbf to 95248 or vote online through a link at sandi.net/birdrock As of Dec. 4, Bird Rock Elementary ranked 75 out of 397, in terms of vote-getting schools. Contest press material states: “The school program that receives the highest number of votes will be awarded the $50,000 grandprize grant, and the next top vote-getters in the Play, Create, and Explore categories, respectively, will each be awarded a $25,000 grant. Clorox’s judging panel will select three additional lucky schools, one in each category, to win a $25,000 judge’s choice grant.” Bird Rock is nominated in

the Create category and if it wins, the money would be used to expand the music and art program at Bird Rock. Currently offering five hours of music instruction per year, the school’s program is affiliated with the Center for World Music, which offers culturally based music classes.
“The new approach to music at our school is transformative. Before initiating a partnership with the Center for World Music last year, our students didn’t really touch an instrument until fourth grade, and that’s only if they chose to participate in the district’s instrumental music
program, which means missing out on some other regular academic time,” said Lisa Bonebrake, Music and Visual Arts Liaison for the Bird Rock Foundation. “Now, students are beginning to play instruments from around the world at all grade levels, learning from visiting teaching artists who
are masters at their craft.” Some of countries represented include South Africa, Iran and Spain. “A grant of $25,000 to $50,000 would double or quadruple the current funding available for music, allowing us to expand the teaching artists’ time on campus and invest in both
instruments for the students to use far into the future, and visual art materials for students to create works of art related to the cultures of the music they’re studying,” Bonebrake said. “Winning a grant of this size would absolutely be a game-changer for the arts programming at Bird Rock Elementary.”

Companies have come forward to suggest spraying the rocks with their organic, nontoxic solvents to break down the seabird guano and eliminate the odor at La Jolla Cove, but environmental and bureaucratic regulations have so far prevented the use of those products. Photos by Pat Sherman
We Are Buying ...Immediate Cash Paid
FROM COVE STENCH, A1 that Lightner planned to present to her colleagues this fall has been postponed until 2013 when Filner is in office. The guano accumulation largely stems from a colony of Brandt’s cormorants, which have taken over the rocks above La Jolla Cove in recent years. Evans has sought the professional expertise of Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) geochemist Ray Weiss to help tackle the problem. Weiss, a former member of the La Jolla Community Planning Association and La Jolla Town Council, has participated in discussions on the issue involving city officials and other stakeholders, such as the California Coastal Commission and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Weiss told La Jolla Light his major observation is that the noxious odor is caused by a lack of oxygen permeating the layers of excrement. This absence of oxygen allows bacteria to thrive, producing ammonia and other gasses. Though some have suggested the ammonia could be a health hazard to asthmatics and those with other respiratory problems, Weiss said he doesn’t suspect it would produce significant health risks. “Ammonia is toxic; it’s not good for you,” he said. “There are regulations about the levels of ammonia people can be exposed to. … I just don’t know if anybody’s measured it.” Weiss said SIO scientists and officials aren’t stepping up to solve the problem due to a “dearth of knowledge across the spectrum.” “We’ll see what happens with these (current and projected) rain storms, and whether that washes it away,” he said. “Unfortunately,” he added, “moisture also has the effect of blocking oxygen permeation. … I suppose it possibly could get worse after the rains.” LJP&B member Melinda Merryweather said she spoke with a representative from
Petition to clean La Jolla Cove ■ In an effort to force some action on the Cove stench predicament, George Hauer, owner of George’s at the Cove restaurant, started the online petition, titled ‘Sherri Lightner, Councilperson District 1: Clean up the bird excrement at the La Jolla Cove.’ ■ To sign the petition, visit www.bit.ly/lajollacovepetition the county health department who confirmed that the bird guano contains E. coli bacteria. When the waves wash that the guano into the water, it may pose a health hazard for divers or swimmers who come into contact with it, she said. A fence that was erected in the 1990s to prevent people from traversing on the Cove rocks and injuring themselves or further eroding them, created a human-free zone for the birds to roost, Merryweather said. “I think we can ask (that the fence be removed) and let everybody back out on the bluffs and just travel at your own risk,” she said. “Once people are back on the bluffs, the birds won’t be there and the nightmare will be over.”

Story in the Light leads to a touching veteran reunion By Ashley Mackin After reading the story, “The Bishop’s School honors Padres announcer Jerry Coleman” in the Nov. 8 issue of La Jolla Light, a Nebraska man reconnected with Coleman, a former Marine with whom he served in the Korean War. Over Veteran’s Day weekend, Raymond Dobias was watching a football game at his home in Atkinson, Neb. that was honoring some special veterans and Dobias recognized Coleman. The two served together in the Korean War, where Coleman was a pilot and Dobias loaded ammunition. Dobias’s daughter, Marsha Meyer, then searched the Internet for the most recent news of Coleman in an effort to connect the two, and up popped La Jolla Light’s report on Coleman’s visit to The Bishop’s School for a Veterans Day salute on Nov. 2. “My dad mentioned that it would be good to be able to talk to someone from so many years ago ... dad knew all about Coleman’s broadcasting career, and, of course, he knew about the baseball fame, but of all the things (Coleman) did in his life, the most important (to Dobias) was being a pilot during the Korean War,” Meyer said. She e-mailed the Light and was put in contact with the Bishop’s School. Staff there connected father and daughter to Coleman, who promptly called Dobias on Nov. 27. Meyer said she doesn’t know exactly what they discussed, but she knows they spoke about Dobias’ health and future correspondences. Dobias is battling pancreatic cancer and Meyer said her father said he was touched that Coleman asked about his heath.
Jerry Coleman receives The Bishop’s School Medal for his achievements in the military and in baseball at a Nov. 2 ceremony. Ashley Mackin They also talked about Coleman sending photos from Korea, including one of Dobias working on Coleman’s plane. Meyer said at the end of the conversation, Coleman asked to speak to Dobias’ wife and requested that she do something for him. “He told my mom that when the phone call was over, he wanted her to go over and give my dad a great big long hug. “Jerry Coleman is truly a class act,” Meyer said.

Reception offers sample of upcoming Kyoto Prize lectures By Pat Sherman More than 50 people gathered at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library Nov. 28 to learn about three free lectures that will be offered next spring when this year’s Kyoto Prize recipients visit San Diego. One lecture will be offered at each of the following institutions: University of California San Diego, University of San Diego and San Diego State University. The Kyoto Prize honors individuals who have contributed significantly to the scientific, cultural, and spiritual betterment of mankind. Japan’s non-profit Inamori Foundation presents the prize annually in the following categories: Advanced Technology, Basic Sciences, and Arts and Philosophy. It includes a cash gift worth about $625,000, making it Japan’s highest private award for international achievement. For more than a decade the laureates have visited San Diego to give presentations on their work. This year’s Laureates
La Jolla Women’s Club manager Sharlene Thompson, Charlene ‘Chuck’ Walrad and Darrel Strom include computer scientist Ivan Sutherland, molecular cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi, and literary critic and educator Gayatri Spivak. During the reception, Scripps oceanographer and 1999 Kyoto Prize recipient Dr. Walter Munk, recalled attending the awards ceremony in 1999 and again last month. While there last month, he and his wife were invited aboard the Chikyu, a Japanese drilling vessel designed to
bore seven kilometers beneath the ocean floor, and ultimately into the Earth’s mantle — a quest Munk was involved in five decades ago as part of Project Mohole. Though Munk and his crew never reached the mantle, his expedition invented technology that prevents a ship from drifting during such research, which is still used today by Chikyu researchers. SDSU entomologist and Vice President for Research
Dick Davis, executive director of the Kyoto Symposium Organization; Athenaeum board President Max Elliott; Scripps oceanographer and 1999 Kyoto Prize recipient Walter Munk; and SDSU Vice President for Research Stephen Welter Photos by Pat Sherman Stephen Welter offered an overview of the Kyoto Prize recipients’ professional achievements. Dr. Oshumi, who won the prize in Basic Sciences, gave a talk titled “50 Years of Autophagy” (a process in
which the body or cells selfdigest to provide sustenance, as happens in dieting). “Autophagy is this process by which cells take portions that are either damaged or unnecessary, they recycle them, then move them along,”
Welter said. “It’s important for cancer, for anti-aging — which I’m very fond of.” Welter said Oshumi’s talk moved from the technical to the esoteric, focusing on how

FROM MURAL, A4 “Preserving the heritage art and architecture of our community, like this mural and the post office, is a vital link to our cultural, aesthetic and economic legacies — all of the things that make us who we are,” said Leslie Davis, chair of the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force. Davis said her big concern is that because the federal government owns the art (which is painted on a canvas and mounted to the post office wall) it may not have the expertise required to protect it. “It seems there is not an agreed upon plan related specifically to the art. There have been cases of other art being taken off government properties and never seen again,” she said. Fox said it would take a high level of competence to properly move and preserve the work of art, should the need arise. “Moving (the piece) somewhere is a very delicate procedure and it requires a very high level of expertise from a trained art conservator, such as what they have at the Balboa Park Conservation Center,” he said. “It could be done, but it really has to be done by experts in the field who know how to do that to avoid any damage to the work.” Davis said she has no assurances the
“
The Federal government, as the owner of the art, is responsible for it, but I’m not sure if there is or is not regulation related to ‘maintenance’ and ‘storage’ procedures. — Leslie Davis
”
Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force chair government would utilize those experts if they sold the building and mural. “Very little is known about the government’s procedures related to WPA art … The Federal government, as the owner of the art, is responsible for it, but I’m not sure if there is or is not regulation related to ‘maintenance’ and ‘storage’ procedures,” Davis said. Don Smeraldi, manager of corporate communications for the USPS Pacific Area, said “The mural will always be owned by the Postal Service, and if the building were sold, the Postal Service would have the new buyer sign a loan agreement. The mural would be part of the covenants and restrictions placed on
the deed, and the Postal Service would do its best to find an entity that would oversee these covenants and restrictions.” He also said the USPS would consider loaning the mural to the Historical Society. A specialist in how the USPS would care for the mural could not be reached by deadline. The U.S. Postal Service announced its plan to sell the Wall Street building and relocate its services in January, as part of a nation-wide cost-cutting plan. Soon after, the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force was formed to prevent the sale. The building is eligible for historical designation, partially because of the mural. “This work of art, and this work of architecture, both have the same historical lineage to them … and should be retained in the Village where they are,” Fox said. He added the installation of the mural is, in a way, a predecessor to the current Murals of La Jolla program, which is installing temporary murals across La Jolla. Davis added, “The mural is associated with our heritage, both as Americans and La Jollans. As natural beings, we are more stable and healthy when connected to our roots. We have already lost so many of our heritage treasures, we risk the slow death of our community identity.”

Turnout proves that we all love a parade OUR VIEW
C
all it a Christmas pageant, a holiday happening, a winterparty-in-the-streets, but it was a great day for La Jolla Sunday afternoon when the 55th annual parade wound its way around the Village. People of all ages and ethnicities lined the curbs to experience the sights and sounds of the season and they were not disappointed. The parade lasted almost two hours and included more civic organizations, school groups, politicians, clubs, costumed characters, marching musicians, floats, roadsters, equestrians, livestock and pets
than you’ve seen all year! Each brought a message of peace and goodwill. Smiles and waves all around. The holidays are upon us! Let’s have a big round of applause for the work of the parade committee, headed by Ann Kerr Bache; for all the volunteers and participants; and most of all, for the folks who donated the funds required to produce this beloved tradition. While, for one reason or another, such Christmas parades have been cancelled by other coastal communities, we are so very fortunate that it continues to be one of the many sparkling jewels in La Jolla.

OUR READERS WRITE
Tax increase? What were California voters thinking? Regarding the “Wish I’d Said That” quote from Jerry Brown in the Nov. 22 issue: “We have the vote of the people....” on voting our OWN tax raise (Prop 30) — a big LOL! Amazing that after so many years of being blatantly lied to by our politicians and unions, just mention police, fire, kids or schools, and the majority falls for whatever they’re selling. Politicians must just laugh themselves sick at the gullibility of “the people.” Good luck with your tax raise — generating revenue that has no oversight, and simply goes into the General Fund on an “Honor System,” because we all know those government politicians are sooo “honorable”! As my father used to say, “Stupidity is its own reward.” Rand Hogen La Jolla
Build a bird barge and off they’ll go! With all the talk over the stench in La Jolla (caused by the buildup of nasty-smelling cormorant guano along the shore-side cliffs) I have come up with the perfect solution. We can have a Bird Barge constructed and anchored about a halfmile off shore. It can have food delivered to it over the first few months to entice the birds to go there, and once they discover their new floating island, they will no longer need to hang out at the Cove and cause all these issues. I created a graphic image to illustrate how this Bird Barge could look. Melissa Macis La Jolla Light, Senior Graphic Designer

Where’s SIO in all the stench talk?
Police can’t always use radar to slow traffic
Endless talk but no action about the offputting odor at the La Jolla Cove. One of the world’s leading oceanographic research institutions is within walking distance of the Cove. Isn’t it time to get Scripps Institution of Oceanography involved? Donald G. Yeckel La Jolla
In a letter last week (Nov. 29) a reader frustrated by the traffic on Torrey Pines Road in central La Jolla suggests that the police “just stand on Torrey Pines with a radar gun,” adding that drivers should drive at the 35 mph posted speed limit because “It’s the law.” Unfortunately, it appears that “the law” does not permit police use of radar on a principal arterial street where the posted speed limit is significantly lower than the prevailing speed as recorded in a traffic survey. The speed limit on that stretch of Torrey Pines was lowered about a dozen years ago from 40 to 35 mph by the City of San Diego with knowledge that the new limit would not be enforced, but this was what the La Jolla community groups wanted done at the time. I believe their thought was that enough drivers would drive the new posted limit, so as to reduce average speed. However, as the writer points out, there are a large number of aggressive drivers out there, and I expect a good number of those are conscious of the actual “law.” The “law” is not what you see on the sign. Rather, it is defined by some tricky regulations (Calif. Motor Code, Section 40802.c.2.B.i.II) and court precedents (for example, People v. Goulet, 1992) collectively called the speed trap rules. The continuing speeding problem on Torrey Pines was the principal reason that a task force of La Jolla community was convened 2004 through 2006 to suggest improvements on Torrey Pines Road. As well as slope stabilization, pedestrian and landscaping works, the task force presented a series of “traffic calming” proposals. The Plan can be viewed online at torreypinesroad.com Since then, the hangup in implementing the Plan has been mainly the city’s poverty. It is encouraging, however, that the La Jolla Community Planning Association last month elevated the three remaining phases of the Plan as priority 1, 2 and 3 among traffic projects recommended for the city’s capital improvement plan in the coming years. Dan Allen La Jolla
Parade announcers could have used a script The La Jolla Christmas Parade was a great success. Sights, sounds, entertainment for the family. That said, I think the consensus regarding the announcers is that their enthusiasm, while appreciated, at times crossed the line into silly, chuckleheaded peanut gallery commentary. Guys, your job is to announce the floats and to give relevant information regarding the participants. Unrelated, extraneous commentary should, like Dasher, Dancer and Prancer, be reined in. Bill Smith La Jolla
‘Happy Winter Solstice’ is preferred term Editor’s note: The following letter was sent to the La Jolla Colony Board with a copy to the La Jolla Light. It is printed here to make the community at large more aware of the varying viewpoints and cosmopolitan nature of La Jolla’s residents. I observed the banners recently hung around “The Colony” announcing the forthcoming winter “Holiday Festivities.” Although I give you kudos for using the title “Holidays,” the Christmas trees on the banner and the business about Santa Claus bothered me. Both are very Christian. You see, as an atheist, and one being sensitive to seasonal events that are biased toward one religion, I believe that inclusion should be the rule, not exclusion. As you are most likely aware, our neighborhood has quite a variety of people with non-Christian religious beliefs, and folks like me who do not accept anything having to do with the supernatural. Though it may be too late for this year and costly (although the banners’ Christmas trees could be easily covered with something white — paint, cloth, etc.), don’t you think we could appeal to inclusiveness by just referring to the season’s venues as just “The Holidays.” I, personally, use “Happy Winter Solstice.” As for Santa, and the appeal for the kiddies, my opinion is that (as the grandfather of four youngsters) just having community, food, games, etc. is enough. It avoids the conflict of non-Christians and us heretics feeling kinda on the outside, not really being represented as first-class residents. I am sure there are numerous unbiased characters that could be substituted, for example, isn’t La Jolla home to our renowned Ted Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss? Ted Rodosovich Resident since 2007

More funds needed for police hub renovations A police storefront in Pacific Beach that serves as a hub for police patrolling La Jolla and Pacific Beach is still in need of funds for much-needed renovations to the center. The project, with financial and organizational assistance from the Bird Rock Community Council and La Jolla Town Council, needs another $10,000 for the work, which is scheduled to commence in January. The storefront is also home to SDPD’s Homeless Outreach Team and the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol. The building has mold, its sinks and toilets are in disrepair, the floor is worn, wiring is precarious, windows are broken
and there is no heating or air conditioning. The City of San Diego has no money to repair the building, so volunteers are doing the work and raising money. Dewhurst and Associates and their sub-contractors have volunteered their time and talent, along with Sherwin-Williams paint. Other vendors are discounting services for the project. Real estate agents, service clubs, and other groups have raised about $18,000 toward the project. Checks can be made to the San Diego Police Officers’ Association and mailed to 5666 La Jolla Blvd., Box 168, La Jolla, CA 92037. For more information, call Nancy at (858) 775-7575.
OBITUARIES
Mathilde A. “Hilde” Schneider 1920 – 2012
Hilde was born in Buchen, Germany, on July 10, 1920. After a long illness, she passed away peacefully at home on November 10, 2012, surrounded by her loving sisters. Very bright and independent from a young age, Hilde became a successful buyer in the Fashion Industry in Germany. In 1957, Hilde immigrated
to America in search of the sun and the ocean and came to Coronado. After moving to San Francisco, Hilde became employed by I. Magnin. When the company opened to a larger location in La Jolla in 1963, she asked to be transferred. Over the next 25 years with I. Magnin in La Jolla, she worked in sales and as department manager. Hilde was enjoyed by her many clients and co-workers for her taste and sophistication. Of her many passions, she had love for the arts, music and dance. Hilde maintained a beautiful garden where she always shared her flowers and harvest. Hilde was an excellent cook and incorporated her German heritage into many of her dishes. Hilde is survived by her sisters, Marianne Schneider and Brigitta and husband, John Patrick Lamer; one nephew; three nieces; and
three great-nephews. We will miss her much. A Celebration of Life will be held at Mary Star of the Sea on December 15, 2012, at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to San Diego Hospice, 4311 Third Ave, San Diego, CA 92103. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Jaguar makes its mark at San Diego European Motors By Marti Gacioch San Diego European Motors recently debuted its new state-ofthe-art showroom for Jaguar San Diego with a gala “thank you” grand opening party for 400-plus customers. The evening of cars, cocktails, appetizers and entertainment was highlighted by an opportunity to experience Jaguar’s new 2014 Type-F. Hosted by San Diego Home and Garden magazine, the evening featured musical stylings by John Nadro. Adding to the festivities were servings from San Diego’s Table 926, Café Japengo, Seasons 52 and Urge American Trattoria, along with drinks from South Coast Winery, Krater Lake Vodka and beer from Urge Gastropod. Jaguar San Diego is part of San Diego European Motors’ threedealer franchise group that also includes Aston Martin and Lotus luxury cars. The facility’s current in-stock inventory includes 55 cars and 60 used cars. And with the opening of the new showroom,
The new Jaguar F-Type Jaguar Motor Cars is set to make its mark again in San Diego. The debut of the prototype Jaguar 2014 Type-F is already sparking the interest of luxury car enthusiasts. “The 2014 Jaguar F-Type goes back to the heritage years of the Jaguar 1957 XKSS and the E – Type,” said Jaguar Manager John Canales. “It’s a two-seater that will
be released as convertible, and it’s really a revival of the sports heritage of the brand.” According to Canales, the Type-F is a 6-cylinder supercharged sports car with a 340-horsepower engine. “It has as much power as an 8-cylinder car, but it delivers better on gas mileage,” Canales said. “It has very unique headlights that
look like cat’s eyes, and it will be available in the standard colors of black, silver and white, as well as special order British Racing Green and a couple of shades of red.” Canales has been involved in the auto business since age 18. He worked for Toyota and Ford before he started working with Land Rover in 2004, followed by Jaguar

Event guests listen as SDSU’s Stephen Welter discusses the 2012 Kyoto Prize Laureates’ work. Photos by Pat Sherman
FROM Kyoto Prize, A20 students can succeed by taking the path less traveled. “If you do daring research, that’s where you make a difference,” he said. “In (Oshumi’s) case it turns out the daring path was yeast. Most of us think of yeast as things that make beer or bread, but the truth is that yeast is a very simple organism that allows us to
such a different experience. “It could have been left at just a criticism,” Welter said, “but she’s one of those people that’s taken criticism and turned it into action.” Computer graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland, who received the prize in Advanced Technology, is often referred to as the father of computer graphics. Sutherland later moved on
do very elegant experiments.” Welter said he relishes the oft-used image of Indian theorist and philosopher Gayatri Spivak in a sari and combat boots, marching to a remote village to teach women how to educate impoverished populations. Prof. Spivak, who won the prize for Arts and Philosophy, was educated at University of Calcutta and at Cornell.
“She really is a philosopher, an intellect, a social critic and her topic is basically post-colonialism,” Welter said. “Her concern is that the Western world’s perspective ultimately defines how we see India, or how we see other cultures, and that it’s very difficult to evaluate another group through the prism of our own eyes when we’ve had
from computer graphics to form companies and conduct research at Harvard, California Institute of Technology and elsewhere. Welter said Sutherland deemed computer graphics “no longer a worthy intellectual opponent. “I think that gives you some kind of insight into these kinds of people,” Welter said. “There’s a
hunger in him you can see. … People in his companies went on to form Adobe, Pixar. It’s like for every river, there’s a source for that river. … Clearly people came to him. He nurtured them, he spun them off and they became tributaries.” —For information about San Diego’s Kyoto Symposium Organization, visit kyotoprizeusa.com

Distributed Health Lab hopes to bring diagnosis devices to developing world
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
A
high-performance car isn’t designed to function in the Sahara Desert. So, why design medical equipment for developing countries the same way we do for developed ones? It’s a question researchers at the new Distributed Health Laboratory at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) aim to address. In collaboration with the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the
Universidade Eduardo Mondlane (UEM) in Mozambique, Calit2’s DH Lab is designing low-cost medical devices, such as microscopes and wireless sensing devices, that can be used by virtually anyone anywhere in the world to prevent and even diagnose illness. For example, a low-cost (less than a dollar) waterquality measurement device that can quantify the amount of toxins, heavy metals, and pollutants in drinking water. The team plans to deploy the devices in the Gobi Region of Mongolia, which has become increasingly polluted as a result of mining activities in the area. The concept is to create sensing instruments implemented at the community level, taking advantage of cell phone networks to create a distributed web of sensing.
Eventually, the team hopes to deploy other devices and apps over a wide range of health applications to other parts of the world. — More information at http://bit.ly/10hcJyr New hands-on online tool for science education Computer scientists at the UC San Diego and at St. Petersburg Academic University in Russia, have developed a one-of-a-kind, hands-on online learning tool that weaves together for the first time science and programming education. While modern biology is inundated with computation, biology students at U.S. universities are taught neither programming nor bioinformatics and as a result are unprepared for the challenges that await them in their own discipline. This tool (called Rosalind) can fill that learning gap. Instead of listening to a

lecture, students are required to complete increasingly difficult problems at their own pace. Researchers say that to their knowledge it’s the only online tool using this method to teach science. Computer scientists hope to make Rosalind a premier educational resource not only for students lacking access to higher education, but also for universities aiming to update their curricula. This environment promises to help universities offer online courses to a larger student population by creating a “zero-cost teaching assistant.” Rosalind was named after Rosalind Franklin, a British X-ray crystallographer whose findings were used by Francis Crick and James Watson to formulate their hypothesis that DNA is structured as a double helix. — More information at http://bit.ly/10xGUAI
A measure of ‘biological’ age When it comes to biology, our clocks clearly tick differently with some individuals appearing or feeling years younger – or older – than their chronological age. In a new study, researchers at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, with colleagues elsewhere, describe markers and a model that quantify how aging occurs at the level of genes and molecules, providing not just a more precise way to determine how old someone is, but also perhaps anticipate or treat ailments and diseases that come with the passage of time. Heretofore, identifying markers and precisely quantifying the actual rate of aging in individuals has been challenging. In this study, researchers focused on DNA methylation, a fundamental, life-long
process in which a methyl group is added or removed from the cytosine molecule in DNA to promote or suppress gene activity and expression. The researchers measured more than 485,000 genome-wide methylation markers in blood samples of 656 persons ranging in age from 19 to 101. The scientists found that an individual’s “methylome” – the entire set of human methylation markers and changes across a whole genome – predictably varies over time, providing a way to determine a person’s actual biological age from just a blood sample. — The findings appear in the journal Molecular Cell.

Hard Court Tennis Tourney nets winners from 300 participants By Michael Ragovin More than 300 tennis players ranging in age from teens to grandfathers descended on the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club to participate in the USTA National Over 40 Hard Court Championships at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Entrants had several categories to choose from including men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, mixed doubles, father-and-son doubles and grandfatherand-grandson doubles. The tournament took place from Nov. 26 to Dec. 2.
Dina McBride wins the USTA National Over 40 Hard Court Championships in Women’s Singles.
Men’s Singles The men’s singles began with 128 players, and ended with Oren Motevassel defeating Martin Barba 6-4, 6-2 for the championship. Both players formerly participated in the ATP World Tour. Motevassel, who won the title for the second straight year, was the No. 1 seed. Barba
In addition, Motevessel always seemed to be where the ball was without much effort. Barba would hit the ball into the corner and Motevassel would be waiting for it. It got to be very frustrating for Barba. Motevassel had to win five matches to reach the finals. He did not lose a set until the semifinals when he dropped the first set to Jeff Greenwald, 1-6. After that he won easily taking the next two sets, 6-0, 6-2. After the match Motevessel said, “Martin played pretty well ‌ We’ve known each other for 25 years. It’s great to play him again. It’s always fun to come here. This on my calendar all year long.â€?
Oren Motevassel wins the USTA National Over 40 Hard Court Championships in Men’s Singles. Courtesy Photos was seeded No. 4 and won the tournament in 2008. Barba prefers to hit the ball with a lot of pace and go for the early winner, whereas
Motevassel is much more deliberate. He likes to hit the ball to spots and build a point creating an opening and then going for the win.
Women’s Singles Dina McBride won the women’s singles title defeating Ros Nideffer 5 and 2, which is tennis shorthand for 7-5, 6-2. McBride did not drop a set during the entire

It was a gritty and determined McBride who just refused to lose. Behind 4-5 in the first set, she scrapped and fought her way to 7-5 win and thought that was the turning point of the match. After the match, McBride said, “I just tried to stay in each point mentally and play one point at a time because I haven’t worked any sets or tournaments recently.” She went on to say that she was very excited and happy to get the win. Last year, McBride reached the finals only to have to retire because of a tear in her Achilles tendon. She dedicated the victory to her dad who has been ill.

Men’s Doubles The men’s doubles was a study in contrast. Pete Smith (USC men’s tennis coach) and Neel Grover, who were seeded No. 1, defeated Denny-Zanio on Thursday in the quarterfinals. Everything was working for Smith-Grover. First serve winners, strong net and baseline play added up to a 6-0, 6-0 win. It was no contest. I saw the match and it looked as if no one would win another game against them. Enter Tarango-
Trevion, seeded No. 4, for the semi- final match on Saturday. By the time I made it over to court eight, Smith-Grover were losing 1-5 in the first set. The people watching couldn’t believe what they were seeing. At this point Smith-Grover got themselves back in the match, but eventually lost the first set, 4-6. They struggled to win the final two sets, 6-4, 6-4. It wasn’t pretty. Another quarterfinal match on Thursday saw the No. 5 seed, Hessler-Tyrell, played HernandezHoffman (No. 2 seed) in real barnburner. They traded “shots” for well over two physically draining and exciting hours. Hessler-Tyrell finally won by the slightest of margins, 7-6, 1-6, 7-5. It just doesn’t get any closer or better for “us” spectators. Sunday matched Smith-Grover against Hessler-Tyrell for the championship. It was a blowout. Smith-Grover completely dominated Hessler-Tyrell, 6-0, 6-2. Nothing more can be said. Again, Smith-Grover’s performance was completely the opposite from the day before. Will the real SmithGrover please stand up? This tournament is a huge undertaking and due to an experienced and dedicated staff, it played out without a wrinkle. Bill Kellogg, Ralph Anderson and Fred Sidhu, et al, were just plain terrific.

Ed Hujsak with his sculpture, ‘Rainbow Arc.’
Former scientist-turned-sculptor makes his front yard his gallery By Ashley Mackin d Hujsak spent much of his adult life around metal. A rocket engineer by training, the 88-year-old La Jolla resident now makes metal sculptures and re-landscaped his front yard to showcase them. Hujsak said he finds a flexibility in working with metal, a counterintuitive thought that keeps his sculptures fun. He said that’s his inspiration: creating something funny. “An occasional thought might strike me — something in the news, something I remember or something that might be funny.” From there, he fashions metal in his home workshop and decorates the pieces. Though some works have been exhibited and sold over the years, Hujsak said he likes to “have them around me.” There are about 20 sculptures on his property on Nottingham Place where he resides with his dog, Barney.
E
For one piece in particular, ”Riven Sky,” Hujsak said he could envision it at the top of a hillside with the sky behind it so the blue center strip would give the illusion of splitting the sky. For the majority of his pieces, Hujsak laughs off the question of where his inspiration came from. One piece, however, is a tribute to his late wife, who died two years ago. A concert pianist and harpist, Hujsak said she was “just a great lady.” In his front yard sits “Arpa,” a work created in her honor. His favorite piece, he said, is whichever one was made the most recently; in this case, “The Dome.” A sculpture standing only a few feet tall and looking like a flying saucer, “The Dome” has solar cells embedded in brick and glows at night, in tribute to his interest in space. That interest carries over from childhood and he combines it with sculpting.

true or false? Holly offers protection from lightning and witchcraft. Well, the early Romans thought so! They decorated their homes (particularly the fireplace) with holly and other plants during their celebration of the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. Holly was believed to help protect them from such misfortunes as lightning, and evil spirits entering in through the chimney. So, besides decorating with the colorful plant, the Romans also gave holly as gifts to their friends and loved ones. Birds and animals eat holly berries in the winter when their food supplies are low. But, the same berries are mildly poisonous to humans. If you eat holly berries, you can suffer a stomachache, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea. — Kassidy Emmerson, on Yahoo Voices

Athenaeum Jazz at the Studio Matt Wilson's Christmas Tree-O Friday, December 7, 8:00pm NYC-based drummer Matt Wilson, joined by multireedist Jeff Lederer and bassist Paul Sikivie, returns in the lead of a stellar mainstream jazz trio that takes a swinging, high-spirited, and often humorous perspective on the beloved yet sometimes well-worn standards of the holiday season. Of his Christmas Tree-O, JazzTimes commented, "Wilson has a great sense of humor and invests even the most serious challenging music with a certain mischievous glee. This trio powers its way through tunes traditional ('Hark the Herald Angels Sing') and contemporary ('You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch'). This is, in short, serious fun and possibly the most creative holiday jazz album to come out this year."

Exotic nutmeg can be so naughty … and so nice!
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

othing rings in the holiday season like a sprinkling of fresh grated nutmeg in a frothy glass of eggnog, in a gingerbread cake, in an apple strudel or in a pumpkin tort. Nutmeg has been coveted since antiquity for its enchanting properties, making it the object of a grizzly and greedy tug-ofwar. Here’s the vice and the nice on this captivating spice. Double Agent Nutmeg from the tropical evergreen plant, native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, is actually a combo spice. The fruit (or drupe) the size of an apricot is covered with orange lacy threadlike arils called mace. When the fruit ripens it exposes the hard oval kernel or the nutmeg seed. Both nutmeg and mace have sweet aromatic notes reminiscent of cinnamon and clove.
Royalty of the Spice World
The Roman writer Pliny had been singing the praises of nutmeg since the first century. Emperor Henry VI was so enamored with nutmeg’s aroma he had the streets fumigated with the spicy perfume in preparation for his coronation. Five centuries later, Arab merchants brought gifts of nutmeg to Constantinople. By the 14th century, nutmeg had been elevated to a luxury good status, only available to the affluent, a mere half a kilogram costing the equivalent of three sheep or a cow. Nutmeg Wars European nations were in a bloody power struggle to gain control of the nutmeg trade, the diamond of spices with enchanting culinary, aphrodisiacal, medicinal and hallucinogenic properties. The Dutch became fierce aggressors in the fight, targeting nutmeg grown in the Banda Islands, aka the Spice Islands. In 1602, the Dutch signed a treaty with village chiefs to secure the monopoly, but the Bandanese, misunderstanding the agreement, continued to sell nutmeg to other traders. The Dutch waged war against the islanders deporting, enslaving and even massacring thousands of Bandanese to enforce the
Worry-Free Eggnog ■ Ingredients: • 4 egg yolks • 1 6 ounces whole milk (3.25% milk fat) • 1 cup whipping cream • 1/2 cup cane sugar • 3 ounces bourbon or rum • 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg • 1 /2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
In a saucepan, heat the milk, cream and nutmeg, stirring frequently until it comes to a boil. Pour into the egg mixture in the mixer bowl and gently blend. Return to the pan, and heat until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F. Remove from the heat, add bourbon or rum and extract, and mix well.
■ Method: Beat the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer until lemony yellow. Chill in the refrigerator. Ladle into toddy glasses, and garnish with freshly Add sugar and continue to beat until grated nutmeg and gingerbread snaps. dissolved. Set aside. monopoly. The Dutch also contended with the British who controlled Pulau Run, a small Banda island with a plethora of nutmeg. In 1667, the British agreed with the Dutch to exchange Run Island for another island, New Amsterdam, which they later renamed … Manhattan. The Dutch lost control of the nutmeg monopoly around World War II, and today thanks to the British East India Company, nutmeg thrives in various parts of the world, including Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and Grenada. The Good Nutmeg is loaded with

essential oils and other phyto-goodies having antioxidant, anti-fungal and antidepressant properties, along with aiding digestion. The spice also provides a mother lode of valuable minerals and vitamins for fluid balance and bone and blood health such as, copper, potassium, calcium, manganese, iron, zinc, along with B-complexes for stress management and vitamins C and A for an immune boosting oomph. Nutmeg and its essential oils have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Indian homeopathics for nervous and digestive disorders, and to ease creaky arthritic joints, migraines, tooth-aches and to sweeten bad breath.
The Bad and the Ugly Nutmeg is considered the LSD of the spice world as it contains an organic compound called myristicin that can cause hallucinations if consumed in large amounts. Known on the street as a “nutmeg high,” this is followed by horrendous gastrointestinal side effects. Standing advice: use in moderation (usually 1/4- to 1/2- teaspoon). Spice it up Nutmeg is as equally divine in savory dishes as it is in sweet ones. Use it to dial up hot chocolate or mochas; apple ciders or mulled wines; warm wilted spinach salads; Alfredo and cheese sauces; soufflés; lentil and other Mid-eastern
soups; Italian sausages; risottos; lasagnas; raviolis; pumpkin and butternut squash dishes; rice puddings; custards; apple pies; peach cobblers; spice cookies; scones, muffins and pancakes. Whip up a Moroccan dry rub with a blend of nutmeg, mace, chili, cumin, rose petals, cinnamon and cardamom to jazz up chicken, lamb or wildcaught fish. Cook’s tip: Where possible, buy whole nutmeg over ground because the former retains its sassy flavor much longer. Use a fine microplane to grate.

Evans School hosts veterans at a Thanksgiving lunch By Ashley Mackin In accordance with a new tradition, students at the Evans School treated active and veteran marines to a Thanksgiving luncheon Nov. 19 that took place at the school, 6510 La Jolla Scenic Drive. Last year, Evans School parent Brigid Hannon spearheaded efforts for students to “adopt� marine service members. The students each adopted three marines, to whom they wrote letters and sent boxes while overseas. In December, the students sent them gifts and cards. On Valentine’s Day, the students .).% 4%. ,* ,IGHT .9% !D AND hand-wrote messages to the service
members. In May, when many of marines were able to return home, they were given “welcome home� boxes. “We had a Welcome Home Party for them in June and (the service members) came and spent the afternoon at Evans and it was so great. The kids sang patriotic songs and we all got to meet the guys that we were corresponding with,� Hannon said. “So we thought, wouldn’t it be fabulous if we had a Thanksgiving event and you guys can come and bring some of your buddies and we’ll have a big turkey dinner.� However, several months into planning, PDF 0the adopted marines were sent to another
location and could not attend. So Hannon contacted local military groups, such as the Wounded Warriors, Marine Corps Recruiting Depot, the Miramar base, and the USO. The students ended up with approximately 130 service members at their Thanksgiving event, which included turkey, cranberry sauce, corn, salad and rolls. During the luncheon, the service members introduced themselves by name, rank and time in service. “We had everybody from recruits who had literally only been in the Marine Corps for five months to a gentleman who stormed the beach of Normandy on D-Day. We had
admirals and the oldest active-duty SEAL, so we had a great mix of old and young, and they fed off each other and had a wonderful time,� Hannon said. Principal Margaret Baer said there were 890 years of millitary service represented at the luncheon. In addition to the food, the students presented the service members with medals with the inscription: “You are a true hero, thank you for your courage and loyalty� on the front, and “The Evans Families Appreciate You� on the back.

Left: Ed Hujsak’s latest piece is always his favorite, in this case, ‘The Dome.’ Right: Hujsak’s piece, ‘Riven Sky.’ FROM METAL SCULPTOR, B1 He joked that his interest in art started from reading Buck Rogers as a child, when he would replicate the spaceships described in the stories. While the interest in art never stopped, he said it seriously started about 20 years ago, when he retired. His career brought him from New Hampshire to San Diego in 1955, because he said that’s where the jobs were in his field. His work
earned him several accolades, including being named the 1989 Engineer of the Year by the Engineering Society of San Diego. When not sculpting, Hujsak said he likes to write. He has his own blog, rocketscientist20.blogspot.com, contributes to Science News magazine, and has written seven books on varying topics. He also spends time with his two sons, Jonathan and Michael, and one grandson.
A member of a large family, Hujsak has 11 brothers and sisters, leading to 48 nieces and nephews. He said he’s lost track of how many grandnieces and grandnephews he has. A special moment with his family included a show he did two years ago with the La Jolla Art Association, where his niece, Elizabeth Lisewitz, and grandniece, Elizabeth Zaykowski, also showed their artwork.

he second annual tour of La Jolla’s architectural gems took place Sunday, Nov. 18 with architects on hand to answer visitors’ questions about the one-of-a-kind buildings that comprise the La Jolla Cultural Center. Participating campuses included The Bishop’s School, The Woman’s Club, St. James By-the-Sea Episcopal Church, Cuvier Club, La Jolla Historical Society, La Jolla Presbyterian Church, Bed & Breakfast Inn, and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Many of the 1913- to 1932era buildings were designed by Irving (and Lewis) Gill and gifted to the community by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. A San Diego Municipal Code defined the Zone in 1987 to protect its historical heritage. The Open Doors La Jolla event was established in 2011 to showcase the Zone to both residents and tourists. — Susan DeMaggio

Art Association honors master painter Sebastian Capella with tribute exhibition Let’s Review
By WILL BOWEN
S
panish-born master painter (and respected teacher) Sebastian Capella was feted with a special exhibition of his students’ works and his own at the La Jolla Art Association. In the front room of the gallery were 50 paintings by 50 of Capella’s students. In the back room were seven of Capella’s recent large, colorful landscape paintings. Rae Ann Marks, who is Capella’s assistant, said each of the students submitted what they considered to be their single best work. Capella’s own paintings were landscapes, a departure from his celebrated portrait paintings, and they presented a different side of his remarkable artistic abilities. On Nov. 25, a reception was held at the gallery. In addition to the presence of his many adoring students, Sebastian and his wife were surrounded by three generations of descendents, including three daughters, two
Sebastian Capella with his great granddaughter Sophia Photos by Will Bowen sons, three granddaughters, and two great-grandchildren. Granddaughter Thais Gonzales Capella, visiting from Madrid where she works for the Foreign Ministry of Spain, shared the story of how once, when she was 3 years old, she picked up a paintbrush and painted red lips on one of Capella’s expensive and time-consuming portraits, “because I didn’t like that he painted outside the lines!” Rather than react with
‘Grand Canyon with Red Stripes’ by Sebastian Capella
anger, Capella (demonstrating the patience and compassion he is known for), told his granddaughter that he liked her work and encouraged her to tell him more about why she had painted the lips that way. Student Tyla Colton, who claims to be Capella’s “Second Favorite Student,” submitted a painting of water lilies, titled, “Murmur.” Colton shared that Capella likes to call her “Mrs. Schematic,” because he
thinks that her work is so strong and powerful. “Sebastian has taught me about life, love, and compassion. He is a teacher of life not just painting. And he taught me how to look at the world. Now I see 20 different greens instead of just one,” Colton said. Joey Riley submitted a painting titled, “Cowboys.” She remarked that, “Sebastian taught me how to simplify, and he taught me about the difference
‘Pond Reflections’ by Sebastian Capella
between light and dark, which is what artists call ‘Value.’” Sallie Sachse painted a nicely rendered copy of a painting by Jon Van Meer, titled, “The Red Hat.” She also composed a poem she presented to Capella, which read: “Sebastian says ‘Squint your eyes’ Sebastian says ‘Think more, paint less’ Sebastian says, ‘Shape, Value, Color’
What Sebastian does not say Makes him a gentleman.” Kim Wilkins, who submitted a painting of ballerinas warming up before a performance, had her own Sebastian story to tell. “I was in Madrid at the Prado with Sebastian. It was nearing closing time and we were examining the painting, ‘Las Meninas,’ by

Art Nest hatches a new gallery in Bird Rock By Will Bowen Anseth Richards, a La Jolla High School graduate and longtime Bird Rock resident, opened a promising art gallery on Nov. 28 at 5648 La Jolla Blvd., just a few doors down from Beaumont’s Eatery. The gallery space is called the Art Nest and it’s actually part art gallery, part event space, part bridal bar, and part charity headquarters. That there is so much going on in this reconverted flower shop is just a reflection of
Richard’s high energy and dynamic personality. “Anseth is the brainchild behind all of this,” said Russ Ingledew, a La Jolla CPA, who attended the opening. “She is a non-stop dynamo, someone who is always reinventing herself. It’s hard to keep up with her!” Artist Sallie Sachse agreed. “I am really happy to be showing my art here, I just love this place!” Running an art gallery in La Jolla is a difficult and
Guaranteed the Most Comfortable Pillow You’ll Ever Own! Hi, I’m Michael J. Lindell, Inventor, Manufacturer, and CEO of MyPillow, Inc. Years ago I found myself extremely frustrated with my pillow going flat. I’d wake up in the morning with soreness and would toss and turn all night not knowing why. I tried many pillows on the market and none worked. So, I started to research pillows and was adamant about creating the world’s healthiest, most comfortable, and most durable pillow. MyPillow® uses our unique, patented medical fill that stays cool, conforms to your exact individual needs regardless of sleep position, and stays healthy for your full 10-Year Warranty.
MyPillow® is not available in stores. I have sold hundreds of thousands of pillows and have received thousands of testimonials (refer to mypillow.com) regarding how MyPillow® has changed lives and helped relieved disorders such as:
• • • • • • •
Snoring & Sleep Apnea Fibromyalgia & TMJ Restless Leg Syndrome Migraines/Headaches Neck & Back Pain Asthma/Allergies Anxiety & Insomnia
risky undertaking and there is plenty of competition. But with her characteristic abandon, self-confidence, and never-say-die attitude, Richards has thrown herself into the undertaking. “Since 1996, I have had a wedding shop and bridal bar next door where I have helped people plan and pull off their weddings and events,” Richards said. “Some of my clients have included Jane Seymour, football great Junior Seau, and model Nikki Taylor. Elton John even played piano at one of my weddings. “Last year, I decided I would do my event planning for free if the people I was helping and the vendors I referred would commit to a charity I founded called Cheers — a womencentered health charity that is going to help fund promising research on heart disease, cancer, auto-immune disorders, and osteoporosis. We are new and we are planning an inaugural Masked Ball at the Scripps Forum at Scripps Institute of Oceanography Oct. 28, 2013.
Art Nest owners Anseth and Keith Richards

“Even the artists I invite to show in the gallery must promise to donate an art piece once a year for our silent auction. I like the idea of symbiotic relationships … where there is a win–win for all concerned.” Keith Richards, Anseth’s husband, a retiree from San
FOOD DRIVE
Diego Gas & Electric Company’s land department division, did the handywork for reconverting the building. “There is a practical aspect to all of this,” he said. “Having an art gallery here is a logical way to have a tenant to go along with the bridal and charity business.

Instead of taking commissions on the art that is sold here, we just rent the artists wall space. If the artist sells 1,000 copies of their work that is OK by us.” Richard’s daughter, Sienna, who is a former radio talk show personality, is the manager of the gallery space. Anseth said she choose Bird Rock for her gallery because it is on the move artistically. “I am the fifth gallery to open down here. I like this area because, while downtown La Jolla has gotten touristy, Bird Rock has remained charming and quaint and is a perfect place for a gallery.” Jennifer Broomberg is one of the artists whose work is featured in the gallery. She is a realist figurative artist born in South Africa who does large passionate paintings of dancers and musicians. Broomberg’s daughter, Narusa Broomberg Broderick, is also featuring work in the gallery. She paints quite differently than her mother. She is much more expressionistic and likes to focus on jazz musicians. Bird Rock Artist Guild founder Jane Wheeler also rents wall space at the Art Nest. She specializes in fused glass mosaics. For December, Richards has already booked five events for the Art Nest, including two art shows, a birthday party, and a holiday benefit for La Jolla High’s Madrigal Choir.

The Evans School host active and veteran marines for a Thanksgiving lunch on Nov. 19. FROM VETERANS THANKSGIVING, B10 Hannon said the Evans School is very patriotic, and instills respect and admiration in its children for the military and what it means to serve, and they include first responders — firefighters and police officers.” “It was extremely meaningful for our parents, students, and staff to be able to express gratitude to those heroes who have shown amazing courage and unselfishness,” Baer said. “(It was) a memorable, successful event for all (and) it will become an annual tradition for The Evans School.”
“
We had everybody from recruits who had literally only been in the Marine Corps for five months to a gentleman who stormed the beach of Normandy on D-Day. We had a great mix of old and young and they had a wonderful time.

auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

Capella student Joey Riley shows her painting, ‘Cowboys.’ FROM CAPELLA, B14 Velasquez, which some consider to be the best painting in the world. The security guard kept trying to usher us out and Sebastian kept gently and humorously trying to talk her into letting us stay. “Little did the guard know that she was ushering out one of the world’s foremost painters, someone who is well-known throughout Spain, someone whose paintings would stand up to any in any museum throughout the world! She should have been respectfully saying, ‘Oh, take all the time you need Señor Capella!’” Judy Judy Judy had an intriguing painting of a woman, titled “Mystery Girl,” in the show. She commented on Capella’s penchance for intervening in the paintings of his students in order to add a more special touch. “With just one simple stroke or a drop of paint, intelligently applied, Sebastian can turn an ordinary painting into a masterpiece,” she said. Capella’s delight in the exhibition came through his comment, “Well, I was not that surprised by the art in the show because at some point, I participated in all of it, by way of my collaborative interventions. But I am very happy and honored to have my paintings, and those of my students, here in the LJAA gallery.” In perspective, the student works in this show are all very interesting because you can see 50 different expressions of Capella’s theory of painting and use of color, and his ability to teach others. The seven Capella paintings in the show are really quite brilliant. “Pond Reflections” is probably his

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis.

The painting is of a pond in Canada from a photograph that Kim Wilkins gave to Capella. His “Tropical Sunset” is very different from his other works. The sunset is so alive and bright. The gaudy light from the sun bedazzles the viewer as the light floods over the canvas and out into the viewing room. Capella’s “Baja Surf” is awash with colors and his “Grand Canyon with Red Stripes,” is a wonderful interpretation of the iconic landmark. These works possess the power to change how you
see things, especially in regards to the richness and variety of color that exists in the world. Capella’s work helps one to better appreciate, embrace, and treasure their sense of vision and the gift of seeing. The show was an unusual opportunity to see and consider what makes for a modern master painter and to try and define that ineffable quality which makes a painting great. A closing reception was held Dec. 1 at the La Jolla Art Association gallery, 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, La Jolla Shores. (858) 459-1196. lajollaart.org

With the election over, most of the uncertainty that held U.S. markets in suspense is gone. Much of the news lifting consumer confidence is in the housing sector, which is showing signs of stability and recovery.

“National credit scores are the highest they’ve been in 12 years,” said David M. Cabot, CEO of Prudential California Realty. “The housing market is returning to normal, with more qualified borrowers adding stability and increasing demand.” Benchmark 30-year fixed rate mortgage interest rates hovered near all-time lows in November, making borrowing costs for housing

compared to other forms of credit irresistible. Home prices have risen nationwide for seven straight months and housing inventories are below six-month levels, found the National Association of REALTORS. In California, housing supplies are critically short. September sales volume was down 5.2 percent from August on a tight 3.7-months’ supply, reported the California Association of REALTORS. The median price of a single-family detached home in California was $345,000 in September 2012, up 19.5 percent from $288,700 the previous year, according to DataQuick. Median California home prices peaked at $484,000 in 2007, hit bottom at $221,000 in 2009, and are currently at $287,000, the highest level since August 2008. “There’s still good news for buyers,” said Leeann Iacino, COO of Prudential California Realty. “While California prices were rising rapidly, the typical mortgage payment for borrowers remains 63.9 percent lower than the 2006 peak. It’s an excellent time to buy a home.”
