Parade will bring street closings Sunday BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com This year’s 54th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival Sunday, Dec. 4 starting at 2 p.m. at the corner of Girard Avenue and Kline Street promises to deliver on its “Classic Christmas” theme.

“We have probably the biggest parade yet with more than 100 entries, nine bands, a bunch of equestrian units, three canine units, four fire engines and lots of beauty queens,” said Ann Kerr Bache, parade chair for the La Jolla Town Council-sponsored event.

And with the crowd of an estimated 20,000 when you count attendees and participants come lots of cars. This year’s parade grand marshal, June Barrymore Ash, recalls antique cars were always a big part of the event, with 15 classic Rolls Royces carrying dignitaries, like the late ac-

tor Cliff Robertson, during the early days when the parade resumed after being suspended a few years during and after World War II. Noting she’s “quite honored and pleased” to be this year’s grand

Road Remedy: Pothole patching fills the bill BY KATHY DAY kday@lajollalight.com City street crews have been working in La Jolla and other parts of Council District 1 this week on what Councilwoman Sherri Lightner calls a “pothole roundup.” She announced the “event” recently on Facebook, urging people to submit repair requests as they did last April after the Light urged readers to let city officials know where streets needed fixing. The streets that residents report most often, according to her spokeswoman Jennifer

Davies, are La Jolla Parkway, Torrey Pines Road, Via Capri and Coast Boulevard. The staff compiled a list for this week’s effort from the requests and “from staff driving around the different communities to make sure we had a comprehensive list,” she added. They have noted about 60 streets that need fixes, some of which have several potholes. In La Jolla more than 15 stretches of road are on the list. When Lightner set up the spring “roundup,”

FROM PARADE, A1 marshal, she said the parade when it resumed again had no grand marshal. “It was small, pulled together very quickly,” she said. “There were no floats. We had a school band and a fire truck.” Barrymore Ash’s husband, Neil, is also a parade marshal. “I’m just a lowly military marshal,” he said adding, “We’ve got some responsibilities that day.” Kerr Bache warned cars parked in restricted areas will be towed — a recurring problem that parade organizers are trying to avoid by getting the word out at www.ljparade.com. “The website has street closures in color telling you exactly where you’re not to park,” said Kerr Bache. “We’re also having volunteers on the street to remind people. Our goal is to have absolutely nobody towed.” Kerr Bache said last year 19 cars were hauled off. The year before that the number was 40. “The city is aggressive with it,” she added. Following the parade activities continue with the Holiday Festival at the La Jolla Recreation Center which ends with the lighting of the Christmas Tree, sponsored by the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club and GDC Construction. At press time on Tuesday, parade organizers were still $5,000 to $7,000 shy of the approximately $45,000 cost of staging the event, she said, imploring La Jollans to continue donating because “every little bit helps.” Parade honorees this year include: June Barrymore Ash as Grand Marshal for her contributions to the community; Robert Meanley (Ace Hardware), William White (Ascot Shop), Nancy Warwick (Warwick’s), Dennis Wills (D.G. Wills) and Neil Ash are being honored as Goodwill, Cultural, and Military Marshals, respectively. Joining them as Youth Marshals will be students nominated by public and private La Jolla schools recognizing their community service.

Secret donor lights up season

n anonymous donor stepped forward last week with about $1,600 to cover the cost of putting the Season’s Greeting sign at the Torrey Pines Road entry into the Village of La Jolla. The sign went up on Friday night and was lit on Saturday, said Darcy Ashley, a community volunteer. “It’s been a long tradition, a nice entry to our community,” said Joe LaCava, La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee

and past president, who spearheaded the fundraising effort the past two years to cover the cost of the seasonal sign. It hangs on the pedestrian bridge over the roadway from Hotel La Jolla to The Children’s School. “I did it two years in a row and it was time for someone else to take up the torch,” LaCava said, adding Hotel La Jolla has graciously volunteered to provide electricity to light the sign “which they’ve done every year quietly without fanfare.”

One family’s message

n Nov. 21, a crew from SD Party Lights finished installing a cross with 5,000 lights on a palm tree at the Kholi home on Sea Ridge Drive in Bird Rock. Because of the distance, they were not able to use a lift to do the work. Instead, Jonathan Davis, the lead installer who has a background in mountain climbing, as well as military search and rescue, used professional grade ropes to get up the tree to finish the job on the 65-foot-tall tree. The cross measures 20 feet across. According to the company’s website, “When he came down he said it was a bit chilly up there, but that he could see the entire city.” Homeowner Sam Kohli owns a trucking company with “Jesus Christ Is Lord Not A Swear Word” on the side of his vehicles, said his sister Laverne Kohli. She said it cost $10,000 initially to set up the tree cross, adding more is being added for the Christmas display including lighted figures of Jesus and Mary. “It’s going to be on a timer and the lights will be on from when it gets dark until light the next morning until Jan. 6,” said Laverne Kohli, who added that her brother “wants to spread the message not to swear in the name of Jesus, and also the lights celebrate the birth of Christ.” She said the display was a A lighted cross shines over the Kholi home in Bird surprise for her brother who was Rock.

FROM POTHOLES, A1 crews fixed close to 400 holes in La Jolla, University City, Carmel Valley and Rancho Penasquitos and the other neighborhoods of her district. “The reason for the roundup is that streets continue to be a big issue for residents,” Davies wrote on Monday. “It is a tangible sign of how well the city is doing, or not doing, at providing and maintaining its infrastructure. While there is much more to be done, these pothole roundups demonstrate to residents that the city is serious about getting its

streets up to snuff.” The repairs will follow several key jobs recently completed on area roads, said Bill Harris, spokesman for the transportation and stormwater division. Among them are a stretch of La Jolla Village Drive, Genesee Avenue near the UCSD and Scripps Memorial medical complexes and along Nobel Drive. Acknowledging reports that the city has struggled with available money on street maintenance, he said, that the issues with purchasing and contracting have been resolved and money is being

added to get projects on track. “We will see a lot of projects flying out the doors (soon),” he said last week. Funding is coming from a variety of sources, including the city’s General Fund, bond funds, voter-approved Transnet taxes and Proposition 42, which allows use of gas tax for transportation purposes. With pothole reports, the streets division “remains committed to a 72-hour turnaround, although that’s sometimes hard to meet given the magnitude of work,” Harris noted. Those that get the most immediate responses are the ones reported through the city’s website at http://apps. sandiego.gov/streetdiv or by calling (619) 527-7500 since those calls and reports are logged in daily and carefully tracked, he said. While they get more phone calls, using the website is very helpful because residents can report more specific details about the location and condition of the problem, he said. Direct reports to the city work better than those “through intermediary reporting processes that take 10 to 14 days (to get through the system) and are worsening the bureaucracy,” he added. Lightner’s spokeswoman encouraged people to contact their staff at (619) 2366611. They will put in the reports as they come in.

A pothole on Torrey Pines Road awaits repairs last spring. That way, Davies added, “We can track the progress and help navigate the process. Plus, it helps us know where the trouble spots are so that when we conduct one of these roundups or make requests for repaving, we know where we should focus the city’s efforts.” In mid-November, a report presented to City Council’s Land Use and Housing Committee members said the condition of San Diego’s streets and paved alleys deteriorated over the past decade. According to a survey commissioned by the city’s Transportation and Storm Water Department, San Diego’s 2,800 miles of paved streets and 200-plus miles of paved alleys earned an overall rating of 57.6 out of 100, compared to 67 in 2001.

jor cities in California. A street in good condition has a rating of at least 70. A figure between 40 and 69 means a street is in fair condition. Below 40 is poor. The survey conducted between March and June of this year found that 35 percent of the roads and alleys were in good condition, compared to 49 percent 10 years earlier. Harris noted the survey was much more extensive than in previous years since someone drove over all 2,800 miles of city streets. In two prior assessments, only about 50 percent of the streets were surveyed. During the Nov. 16 meeting the city’s Independent Budget Analyst Andrea Tevlin told Budget Committee members that staff “will need considerable time” to

figure out how much higher expenditures would have to go to fix the streets. Extra road repair spending would be on top of $12 million in capital project expenditures that Tevlin said was underestimated in Mayor Jerry Sanders’ recent fiveyear fiscal outlook. The upshot is an increase in projected budget shortfalls in the next four fiscal years, and a lower surplus in the fifth year. However, city Chief Operating Officer Jay Goldstone said the $12 million discrepancy could be resolved. Financial Management Director Mark Leonard said it stemmed from the two sides calculating the numbers differently. — City News Service contributed to this report.

Homes for the Holidays Many people hesitate to place their home on the market during the holiday season thinking prospective buyers are too busy with holiday activities to bother with looking at homes. However, historical data shows the holiday period to be a very good time to find a buyer. Holiday buyers tend to be without children and interested in "moving up"...good news for sellers of high end properties. People often have more time available during the holidays to inspect homes and make an offer. Also, with a certain number of owners holding off listing their homes for sale until after the holidays, the competition with other similar properties on the market is minimal. Considering all the factors the holiday period could be a particularly strategic time to offer your home for sale. From a buyer's perspective, the holiday are a great time to seek out a home. You may have more free time to work with your Realtor in researching the market and inspecting selected homes. The home may end up being the central theme of your holiday activities. Often with families together, this might be a particularly good time to discuss your dream home. Your most special holiday gift might be a new home.

Neighbors still standing up against Hillel plan By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Opposition to a proposed UCSD Jewish student center in a single-family neighborhood near UCSD has not waned even though the proposed project has been cut in half. Originally proposed in 2000 at 12,000 square feet, the Hillel UCSD Center For Jewish Life plan now calls for a 6,600-squarefoot building. “This is a gorgeous project — it’s just in exactly the wrong spot: a single-family residential zone where it’s not allowed,” said Julie Hamilton, an attorney representing a citizens group, Taxpayers For Responsible Land Use, at the Nov. 22 meeting of La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee. The neighborhood group has long opposed plans by the non-profit Jewish campus center to build on a triangularshaped, 0.76-acre lot known as Site 653 on the south side of La Jolla Village Drive between Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Scenic Drive North. Hillel currently rents space on campus. There is a provision in the city’s Municipal Code allowing religious facilities to be built in residential neighborhoods, but Hamilton argued Hillel is a “student center with a religious affiliation” servicing the adjacent university but not the surrounding neighborhood. “This is not a synagogue or a temple but a university student social organization,” said resident Ross Starr, noting approving the Hillel facility would set a bad precedent and open the door to more than 50 other religious-affiliated university organiza-

tions to expand into surrounding neighborhoods. Robert Lapidus said Hillel plans to have 12 to 15 small-group gatherings (under 50) weekly at the center and host numerous Jewish studies programs during non-peak hours. They want to develop the center in two phases to include three building structures clustered around a central courtyard including a student center, a library and chapel and an administrative building furnishing meeting, storage and balcony space. He said Hillel would turn the exterior space into a public park with bike paths, a drinking fountain, landscaping and benches. After an hour and a half, the committee voted to continue the matter until their Jan. 24 meeting. They asked applicants to return with more detailed information on building materials, conceptual designs for the buildings, and more specifics on project lighting, parking and visibility.

Hotel La Jolla remodel shifts gears; restaurant stays put By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Bowing to popular demand, the new ownership group of 108-room Hotel La Jolla has abandoned plans to move the hotel’s trademark restaurant — formerly Elarios, then Clay’s and now the Grill at Hotel La Jolla — from the 11th floor to street level. “They heard the neighbors loud and clear that the restaurant should stay on one of the top floors,” said Caroline Dyal, the hotel’s new general manager. “They got the general sense that it was not the right thing to do, and did a gut check and made the decision.” Dyal said the decision not to bring the lounge-style restaurant known for its jazz, atmosphere and commanding views of La Jolla Shores was made after several people stopped in to say “it was such a shame that the most gorgeous, perfect view of La Jolla Shores” was going to be altered. Trading upper-level views for enhanced ground-level access interconnecting the lobby, bar and restaurant on the same level creating an indoor-outdoor feel was the idea behind moving the restaurant’s location. Dyal said plans to close the hotel completely for remodeling until

April have also been scrapped. “We’re not closed, but we’re only supporting very limited occupation, a few rooms here and there, as there is going to be a lot of noise and service interruptions,” she said, noting hotel remodeling, which is to include converting a portion of the 11th floor restaurant area into meeting and event space, is expected to continue until late Spring 2012. “We’re refurbishing the rooms, updating the restaurant, expanding the pool area, enclosing the front lawn to make it more of a barlounge with outdoor space for nice, cozy fire pits to be family-friendly by day and loungey by night,” she said. Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants recently took over management of the establishment at the community’s gateway on La Jolla Shores Drive next to Torrey Pines Road. San Francisco-based Kimpton also manages Hotel Solamar and Hotel Palomar in downtown San Diego. It is known for introducing the boutique hotel concept in America. The hotel is now owned by an affiliate of Westport Capital Partners LLC and Cove Equity Group, an investment firm owned by La The hotel La Jolla is seen in a time exposure taken from the Shore Tower condos.

AIDS: 30 years of progress and promise By Lynne Friedmann Thirty years ago, the first cases of what would later become known as AIDS were reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Since then, HIV/ AIDS has become a pandemic, infecting more than 60 million people worldwide. During that time, extraordinary progress has also been made in treating and preventing HIV, and annual new infections have fallen. Even as people continue to become with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which weakens the immune system leading to life-threatening Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), work in La Jolla’s Torrey Pines Mesa labs is advancing the limits of basic research, establishing centers of excellence, and spearheading innovative public health and community outreach all in an effort to better understand and combat this global public health menace. In the U.S, approximately 56,000 new infections occur each year, and more than 1.1 million people are living with HIV. High-impact research In 2008, Sumit Chanda, Ph.D., of the Sanford-Burnham Institute;

A new report by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDSm the UNAIDS World AIDS Day Report 2011, indicates: n New HIV infections were reduced by 21 percent since 1997, and deaths from AIDS-related illnesses decreased by 21 percent since 2005. n Worldwide, 34 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2010 with 1.8 million AIDS deaths reported that year. his is lower than the 2.2 million AIDS deaths in 2005.

The challenge: Figure out how the virus, with only nine genes that code for 15 proteins, could be so effective with such a small genetic payload. They knew the virus hijacked human proteins to succeed, but they wanted to pinpoint exactly which proteins were affected. The team identified 295 host proteins involved in HIV infection providing both a significant advance in understanding viral-host interactions and suggesting new approaches for developing antiviral treatments (now underway) that

Neurological damage in HIV Many people living with HIV and AIDS must also contend with weakened minds. Despite recent successes suppressing the infection, roughly half of all AIDS patients experience HIV-associated neurological disorders (HAND), which range from mild cognitive impairment and memory loss to stroke or dementia. But to stop HAND, its cause must be understood. According to surprising findings by Marcus Kaul, Ph.D., assistant professor in Sanford-Burnham’s Infectious and Inflammatory Disease Center, it’s not necessarily the virus that damages neurons. Kaul and Kathryn Medders, Ph.D., a recent UCSD grad and the study’s primary author, noted that microglia, a type of immune cell, can flood the brain with lethal levels of a toxic factor in response to an HIV protein that resides on the virus surface. Thus immune cells — not the virus — were shown directly responsible for damaging neurons. More information at http://bit.ly/sUZMXT. HIV and meth In San Diego, more than one-

FROM PANTAI, A1 ‘We could make this a very unique Balinese enclave.” The Jackman family was previously a minority owner in La Jolla Cove Suites. That relationship ended when the three families comprising that corporation — the Herons, the Heimburges and the Jackmans — agreed to a legal settlement dividing the assets of properties jointly owned, including Shell Beach Apartments-Motel, which became a Jackman holding. Jackman said he and his staff did extensive research revealing there wasn’t “anything like this type of facility anywhere on the West Coast.” It was at that point that plans to develop Pantai Inn were launched. The first 10 of 40 to 46 total units opened on Monday; with the second phase opening in Spring 2012 and the full property expected to be completed by early 2013. “It is the highest-end property in our portfolio that we call super luxury,” said Bob Rauch, a hotel owner and developer who is president of R.A. Rauch & Associates. The Jackmans contracted Rauch’s firm to manage Pantai. “We really are excited about the boutique sector, which clearly is the hottest sector in the industry,” said Rauch. “This is our second, independent boutique hotel in San Diego.” Pantai is truly one of a kind, noted Rauch. “Each suite is different with unique features, very high-speed Internet, large HD TVs and very spacious,” he said.

Suites at Pantai Inn are filled with Bali-inspired decor, art and wood-carved furniture. “Everything in the hotel is Balinesian — the furniture, the art, the rooms look like art museums,” said Jackman. Soanes, the friend of Jackman’s who conceptualized the project, died five months into it and was replaced by Greg Castle of Castle Architect who is known for his beach bungalow designs in Hawaii and California. “When I came on board they had finished the infrastructure and had begun rehabilitating the

rooms,” said Castle. “I took David’s initial design concept on which he’d done some freehand drawings, and finished the development based on his work. There is nothing like this on the coast. That’s part of why we’re so excited.” Rates range from $399 for a one-bedroom suite to $599 for the three-bedroom villa. There also will be two-bedroom suites. Once the hotel’s restoration of all 40 suites is completed, rates will start at $599.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Coldwell Banker Previews International reach is broad Coldwell Banker Previews International continues to build on a revolutionary idea introduced in 1933 by company creator Henderson Talbot that redefined luxury real estate marketing, says Jeff Nunn, manager of the company’s La Jolla office. He quoted from a company publication describing Talbot’s plan: “He captured the essence of some of the most prized real estate homes on film and held exclusive gatherings around the world for affluent buyers to preview them as cinema. Nearly 80 years later, the Coldwell Banker Previews International program continues to set the benchmark for luxury real estate marketing around the globe.” Noting that the company, with offices in 50 countries is in more places than Sotheby’s and Prudential, he also said that in 2011 the La Jolla office has seen its most explosive growth since it opened in 1966. They’ve added 30 sales associates who came from other local real estate offices and now have a staff of 90, Nunn said. Based on Real Trends 500, they also have more than twice as many homes sales and volume as their next nearest competitor — and this year’s highest priced sale in the country, Nunn said.

“It’s our attention to detail and our personal interest in our clients that set us apart from all the other brokers,” he added. To further its international marketing prowess, Coldwell Banker Previews is the exclusive provider of real estate listings on www.1stdibs. com. “The site touts itself as a website ‘for the finest things on earth,’ featuring jewelry, antiquities, automobiles and fashion,” Nunn said. “And we’re the only real estate company on it.” Another selling point for listing with a Coldwell Banker agent is that agents have “exclusive access to our databases of the world’s ultra-affluent people all over the globe that’s updated every year.” In addition, on a case-by-case basis, the company’s national marketing department assists local agents in “getting our exclusive homes press coverage through the Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and other publications,” Nunn said. Check out what Coldwell Banker Previews International has to offer. Visit the office at 930 Prospect St. or www.californiamoves.com or call (858) 459-3851.

ask before you give: avoid scams and con artists By PAul Downey CEO & President, Senior Community Centers Giving to a charity each year is easy for most of us. We find ourselves drawn to a cause, a particular group, mission, etc. When you have that personal tie to an organization giving your hard-earned dollars is simple.

However, what happens when you don’t have a charity and you are new to donating? Or maybe you want to support a cause aligned with a new interest you have. Often during this time of year, con artists take advantage of the generosity of San Diegans and take the hard-earned money for themselves, rather than for reputable and legitimate non-profit organiza-

tions that serve the most vulnerable in our community. Here are six quick tips to help you chose a legitimate organization and avoid being scammed: n Only give to a charity you know. n Do your research by visiting California Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts (www.oag.ca.gov/ charities), the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance (www.give.org),

Guidestar (www.guidestar.com) and Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org). Plus, go to the organization’s website and really get a good understanding of what the charity does and who benefits from your donation. n Ask questions. Real charities will

L. Jordan-Smith follows one fallacy with another in dismissing concerns that human sponsored intentional increasing of the seal population in La Jolla will increase the possibility that great white sharks will visit the area, or stake out La Jolla as part of their predatory territory. Ms. Jordan-Smith also accuses me of trying to scare La Jollans. I’m not trying to scare anyone — I’m scared. She’s not an oceanographer and she really obfuscates the actual issue by hiding behind some related facts. No oceanographer would ever state that increasing a seal population won’t increase the presence of great whites. There is some question by scientists as to whether the increase would be great enough to increase the amount of

tree-climbing prohibition over the top I am a long-time resident of La Jolla. All of a sudden this weekend two signs went up at the Cove that said that children, (or anyone else for that matter), cannot climb on the trees anymore. There is no code reference on the signs — just plain white signs. I think it is important to point out that my grandfather climbed on these trees at the Cove when he was a young boy. My mother climbed on the trees at the Cove when she was young, as did I. Now my children have been banned. What a tragedy! Children have

strikes on humans, but none of them would guarantee you it wouldn’t. Interview oceanographers and find out for yourselves. I personally surf with and have known oceanographers all my life, including the famous Ricky Grigg. Ms. Jordan-Smith’s comments stating basically only that there haven’t been great whites around here is completely dismissing and missing the point. I think your paper does the community a great disservice in not providing comprehensive objective reporting on this issue because there is a lot of interest in this story. Scientists should be asked their opinion about how much the seal colony can potentially grow if provided encouragement and protection by the local human community, and how many predators might be drawn to the area based on how large the seal community could grow. For an extended version of this piece, go to www.lajollalight.com. been climbing on these trees for a hundred years and without any damage to the trees or to themselves (other than a few occasional scrapes here and there). The attached picture of some unknown children on Thanksgiving Day says it all. The war on childhood, written about in the Wall Street Journal last week, has now extended to one of our most cherished La Jolla memories. Is there no end to the political correctness of our time? First, we made it practically impossible for children to use The “Children’s” Pool as our rapidly declining legal system acted contrary to the clearest possible existing laws and trust indentures. Now they are going to take one of the last remaining pleasures from our children and grandchildren and our own enjoyment at their delight in accomplishing the not so formidable task of getting to the next branch? If getting sued was the root of the city’s abandonment of this 100-year childhood pleasure, perhaps instead they could have simply put on the sign “Climb at Your Own Risk.” While this may seem like a small thing to most adults, the expansion of the “Nanny State“ now knows no bounds. Lest we not forget it is really just a small step from here to the abridgement of most of our other cherished freedoms. Baxter Carlson Long-time La JoLLa resident

Community Leader’s view

we’ve done a lot, but there’s more to do By Sherri lightner Councilwoman, First District

This time of year is always a good time to look back on the past year’s accomplishments while gearing up for the new challenges that wait in the New Year. No doubt 2011 has been a busy year for both the city of San Diego and La Jolla, and there is more to come in 2012. This year the city continued to solve its ongoing budgetary shortfall while protecting neighborhood services and public safety. One of my proudest achievements was helping to end fire engine brownouts effective July 1. We were also able to find money in the budget to maintain library hours and improve lifeguard staffing and training — an issue vitally important to La Jolla. The City Council also approved the historic retiree healthcare deal, which will save the city hundreds of millions of dollars and puts us one step closer to true pension reform. We continued to implement managed competition, and our city workers did not disappoint, coming up with innovative ways to save taxpayers millions of dollars a year. I was also proud that passage of my Comprehensive Water Policy received unanimous support from my council colleagues. This policy, more than a year in the making, will serve as a blueprint to address San Diego’s long-term water needs. In La Jolla, I was pleased to be a part of the effort to establish the La Jolla Village Merchants Association. The group is up and running and recently hired Rosemary Murrieta as its executive director. Under her and the board of directors’ leadership, I am confident that La Jolla will deliver as a premiere destination for visitors and locals alike. In the coming year, I will work to support the merchants association and other small businesses as well as focus on economic development initiatives on the City Council. I also will move along my Comprehensive Water Policy, working with a task force to come up with an effective action plan. Workforce housing, urban agriculture regulations and improving our streets are all on the top of my priority list, too. There is plenty to do in 2012 but for now I wish you peace and happiness this holiday season. Contact me at sherrilightner@sandiego.gov or (619) 236-6611.

Edward ‘Spence’ Wilson, local institution, dies at 99 By DAve SChwAB daves@lajollalight.com Edward Spencer “Spence” Wilson, former manager of The Cove Theater who was the substitute “dad” to a generation of La Jollans, died Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, just nine months shy of his 100th birthday. A La Jolla Kiwanis Club member since May 1937, he had “perfect attendance” as a club member and was present for nearly every event and fundraiser for 74 years. Wilson was a close friend of wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelsen, who has an art gallery in town. Mangelsen recalled that “Spence had a gift with people … I never met anyone who didn’t like him.” Lifelong friend Nancy Miller, said in an e-mail, “Spence Wilson died rather quickly on Thanksgiving morning. He had a really good day the day before, but it appeared that his heart just got tired out. He was rushed to the ER at Scripps LJ.” She noted he had “been an integral part of this community for several generations” and “babysat” half the town at one time or another From CAlenDAr, A3 Point Solutions on “Social Media for Career and Employment Branding, La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Ave. in the Life Center.

when in his theater. “He has counseled many generations of children, teaching us all ‘theater manners’ as well as helping many with life’s lessons,” Miller wrote. ”Many adults give Spence credit for helping them to ‘get it together’ when they were youths.” Wilson had been retired for many years. He had been living at the White Sands of La Jolla for several of those years, in an independent apartment for a few years, and then a full-care facility for the past four and a half years. Wilson’s parents taught him the family values of honesty, honor and hard work, said Mangelsen who came to know Wilson when he was opening his Images of Nature Gallery on Girard Avenue. Wilson worked at the gallery seven days a week and got great joy from going on photo safaris to Alaska and elsewhere with the renowned photographer, doing the only traveling of his long life. “Spence’s kindness, generosity and deep love of family, friends, children and animals will long be remembered. His sparkling blue eyes and impish smile will always be

He had regular coffee meetings with Charles Lindberg and he helped “Charlie” launch his gliders off the bluffs south of Pacific Beach.” He, also knew the likes of J. Edgar Hoover, who secretly came through the back door of The Cove Theater

when he was manager, he added. “Spence loved the movies and took away the best of humanity and human qualities found in those honorable characters and roles played by Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck and Henry Fonda,” Mangelsen said. Walter Robertson Jr., another lifelong friend of Wilson’s, recalls Spence delivered milk part-time when he was a youngster. “He managed the Granada and Cove theatres for 60 years and knew every adult and their kids,” Robertson said. “Many of us worked for Spence at the theaters. He was our ‘grandfather,’ and straightened us out when we got out of line.” Robertson added Spence was “Mr. La Jolla” during the ‘40s through the ‘60s when “it was a small, quaint town.” Edward Spencer Wilson was born on Aug. 22, 1912, in the high desert community of Randsburg, Calif. His father had been a Merchant Marine captain, later moving to Randsburg where he worked in gold mining. When Wilson was 8, Will Rogers, Sr. was making silent films in Randsburg and included him as an extra

in some of those films. That’s where he first became interested in movies. His uncle, Harry Wilson, moved to La Jolla in 1915 and opened the Western Union Telegraph Company office. Spence and his father came to La Jolla often to visit his uncle Harry, subsequently moving here permanently. Spence began working at the Granada Theatre in 1929 while a sophomore at La Jolla High School. He graduated in 1931. He managed the Granada and then the Cove Theatre from until his retirement in 1989. Even then, Wilson continued to help out at the Cove Theatre until it closed in 2005. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Wilson knew the town so well, friends would always say if you really wanted to know what was happening in La Jolla, you asked him. A remembrance is set for Saturday, Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. at La Jolla Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 7708 Eads Ave. Bring stories to tell about Wilson. Those with pictures of Spence are asked to submit them to Leon Chow of C&H Photo for use in a slideshow.

he week before Thanksgiving break was a busy one at La Jolla Elementary, where there was a book fair and the annual Family Dance. While in the book fair, students and parents had a chance to purchase books for their home libraries, with the money raised being used to purchase

more books for the school library. At the dance, students enjoyed dancing with each other and their parents. The Rey Vinole Swing Band got everybody’s feet moving, and professional photographer Tom Dochstadler took formal portraits when they needed to rest. The event was organized by PTO member Ruth Leivers.

From Downey, A18 tell you how they use their donations and what portion of your contribution will go directly to the group they are trying to help. Also, ask them for a 990 tax form. If they cannot answer those questions, don’t give them your money. n Do not send to a P.O. box. Make sure the organization has a real live street address, where you can go and see

them at work. n Ask for a tour. Or even better just show up unannounced. n There should be no hard sell. Organizations don’t need money “today.” If they cannot give you an answer for what the donation is to be used for then walk away. With these quick tips you will be positioned to avoid scams and know where your money is going.

LJHS students renovate school garden By Giovanni Moujaes Before the Thanksgiving break, students from instructor Howard Tenenbaum’s environmental science class worked on fixing up the La Jolla High School garden. The garden is on a narrow strip of land surrounded by a concrete wall on Rushville Street at the end of the football field.

of a weed infestation. Incorporating gardening into his lesson, Tenenbaum said he decided to take his two Advanced Placement environmental science classes and conduct an experiment with different fertilizers and seeds to see what would grow best in this environment. The goal of the project was to teach students to appreciate the hard work that it takes to produce food and to realize that a farmer’s job isn’t easy. Tenenbaum said he plans to continue to take his classes to the garden throughout the year and get it back to its lively state.

Bishop’s tops LJCD; advances to semifinals By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com The game had a different meaning but it had the same outcome as The Bishop’s School played La Jolla Country Day in Division V CIF quarterfinals.

Her services sherry nooravi include coaching, training, team building and creating accountability systems.

What brought you to La Jolla? I always dreamed of living near the ocean and when my husband Karrar and I moved to San Diego, we knew La Jolla was perfect for us. What makes the town special to you? La Jolla is an interesting paradox. On one hand, it is a top visitor destination with beautiful scenery, beaches and neighborhoods, yet it is also a beach community filled with residents who support the merchants and our town’s continual growth and improvement. The shops and restaurants in the Shores and at the Village are a big part of La Jolla’s charm. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would do two things. First, I would enhance our current local governance system with social media, technology and outreach so more people could be involved with the issues, challenges

Riford’s new director puts business degree to work By Joceyln Maggard With the Riford Center in need of a new director, Nancy Walters transitioned from interim director to the permanent position in October, filling the vacancy left by Dona Aumann. “I really love being here, everything from putting on events, to scheduling classes, to writing the newsletter, to getting to know the members is all excellent. It’s really a blessing,” Walters said. The Riford Center is a nonprofit active adult community center, serving La Jolla. Walters became the first assistant director at the center

a year and a half ago, and had already been responsible for many of the administrative tasks that are expected in her

new position. Having studied business at San Diego State University, she said she used to picture herself in the corporate world. She added it was only recently that she realized her calling was in the non-profit sector. “The Riford Center is a business, and I’m applying what I learned in school and in my previous work experience.” Before coming to The Riford, Walters worked for almost four years as the coordinator for after-school programs at Border View YMCA; Walters is from South Bay. At the YMCA, she garnered experience creating enticing programs to

retain enrollment, something very much needed at a center like The Riford that is funded by memberships. When Walters started, there were 160 members, and now, there are 400 members. The goal, she says, is to keep that figure growing. In the past two years, the center has seen three different directors, but Walters insisted the job is for her. “I’m planning to make a life here and I have plans to move to the La Jolla area soon. As long as they will have me here, I want to be here.

New Sinai Circle brings ancient wisdom to contemporary life

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Marti Gacioch La Jolla’s new Sinai Circle learning center hopes to shine a contemporary light on the ancient writings of the Torah and the soul of Kabbalah through a series of classes and lectures designed for 21st century living. The center, located at the Chabad of La Jolla, 909 Prospect St., Suite 210, opened in late September, but only recently celebrated its official grand opening. According to Rabbi Baruch Ezagui, the center’s goal is to offer an accessible environment where people from all denominations and backgrounds can learn how the authentic writings of the “Holy Books,” can be applied in their daily lives. The staff also includes Debbie Ford (creator of the Shadow Process Workshop and founder of The Ford Institute, a personal and professional training organization) and Audi Gozlan (a certified yoga instructor who teaches and leads Kabbalah Yoga workshops around the world). “Sinai Circle’s dream is to

If you go ■ What: Sinai Circle of La Jolla ■ Where: 909 Prospect St. No. 210 ■ Contact: (858) 456-7828 ■ Website: sinaicircle.com ■ Special Event: Dec. 7, ‘Mind Matrix,’ lecture on Kabbala-based stress management and mind control

rabbi Baruch Ezagui create a name that’s synonymous with inspiration, with meaning, and a welcome environment where people can come and leave with something substantial that belongs to them so they don’t feel like they’re dependent on an institution, or a center, or a guru or a lifestyle,” Rabbi Ezagui said. The idea to create such a learning center came to the Rabbi after a member of La Jolla’s Jewish community shared his epiphany that the Torah held a personal place in his life. “That’s when I began to think that maybe

the Torah wasn’t as accessible as I thought it was already, so our objective is to create an environment where we break the myth that the secrets of life are esoteric and beyond reach,” he said. “Anyone can sit in our classes and realize that the Torah wasn’t just talking to Moses; it was talking to them.” To realize the dream, Sinai Circle is offering lectures, classes and a series of three, six-week courses throughout the coming year that will address contemporary issues. Classes will be held every Monday, and each course

will focus on a different area of life. Their first six-week course, “Fascinating Facts: Exploring the Myths and Mysteries of Judaism,” is now in progress. The second six-week course, “Money Matters: Jewish Business Ethics,” will begin in January. “It will address anything and everything finance-related,” Ezagui said. “The Torah can give clarity to anything business-related that might be questionable in a moral or ethical setting.” The final six-week course, “The Art of Marriage,” will

be offered in May. “This series will address the concept of love, and we’re going to bring forth all the great sources of Torah in its wisdom to examine all the areas of love — respect, intimacy, communication and marriage,” Ezagui said. “And not only a marriage between husband and wife, but the concept of love in general; the Torah will give a person a love experience like no other love they’ve experienced before in their lives.” Sinai Circle also offers Kabbala classes on Thursday nights. “The Kabbala is the

best book ever written about you,” Ezagui said. “It literally takes a human being’s character apart one piece at a time and it puts it back together with the assistance of the participant, so that a person understands the complete structure of his or her intellect, emotions, and character attributes in order to have absolute control of themselves in any situation.” According to Ezagui, every class is an open session that encourages questions and candid dialogue. “We’re not here to preach or push a specific agenda; we’re here to discuss, share ideas, and allow for people to grow at their own pace, and digest and understand what we’re speaking about at their own level, “Ezagui said. On Wednesday, Dec. 7, the center will present the “Mind Matrix,” a lecture on Kabbala-based stress management and mind control techniques by Dr. Gill Heart Ph.D. Heart is a member of the elite Israel Defense Force Units. “It will be an interactive lecture and a fun, hands-on experience,” Ezagui said.

■ To create the ballet, Tchaikovsky joined forces with Marius Petipa, with whom he collaborated on “The Sleeping Beauty.” The material Petipa chose was an adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” by Alexandre Dumas called “The Tale of the Nutcracker.” The plot of Hoffmann’s story (and Dumas’ adaptation) was greatly simplified for the two-act ballet. Hoffmann’s tale contains a long flashback story within its main plot titled “The Tale of the Hard Nut,” which explains how the Prince was turned into the Nutcracker. This had to be excised for the ballet.

FROM SANTA, B1 makes gift purchases, and finances the face painter and soft drinks. The party is both a joyous time and a family affair for Baroudi. Her cousins bake hundreds of cookies and both of her sons help out. Marco, an 11th-grader, distributes the sodas, and Max, 11, plays Santa’s helper, handing out the gifts. “The party is three to four hours of pure happiness and total chaos,” Baroudi said. “A close-knit group of people have helped underwrite the event for years, but every year we have to raise enough donations to cover pizzas and limo service that brings the children to the party.” Baroudi said she enjoys assembling goody bags for each child that contain everything from toiletries to school and dental supplies. “Some years we’ve also been able to hand each child a few dollars on their way out because they normally don’t have anything in their pockets,” Baroudi said. “It would be awesome if we could also hand out gift cards from Target or In-N-Out Burger, but we’ve never had the budget to take it that far.” San Diego HOG (Harley Davidson Owners Group) donates about 200 toys each year and also escorts the 11 limos bringing the children to the party. Local attorney, Sam Frazier, will play Santa again this year, and his wife, Pam, will play Mrs. Claus. Tom Ritz, a La Mesa Boy

Also participating are the Kiwanis Club, the La Jolla Rotary, San Diego Pad Squad, University of Dayton Alumni, Lawinfo.com employees, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and local residents. “Some of these kids have never been out of downtown San Diego, and some years we’ve actually seen some of the same children from previous years,” Baroudi said. “But I’ve learned that children are so resilient: if you show them negativity, it will come back to you as negativity, but if you show them something positive, it will come back to you positively tenfold.” Baroudi said that she feels blessed that her sons volunteer at the party. “La Jolla is an entitled area, so it’s good for them to see that not every child is as fortunate as they are, and as my kids participate, their friends start coming to help as well,” Baroudi said.

According to volunteer Phil Cenedella, the event arose from a 1999 goodwill effort by a small group of La Jolla residents, who decided to create a “random act of kindness” event to honor the passing of their friend Arnie Karush. They chose the children of St. Vincent de Paul Village as the beneficiary of a Christmas party. For their first party, they had enough funding to take 24 children in three limousines to an In-and-Out Burger and a caroling session with San Diego’s Pad Squad at La Jolla Cove Park. “We still had to leave 90 kids back at the center back then, and that was terrible, but the next year we left 60, and the following year just 30,” Cenedella said. “Now we can take all the kids, and we’re trying to upgrade the party, so anything anyone can contribute would be great.” The youngest partygoers hug Baroudi on their way out. “You see in their faces how grateful they are,” Baroudi said.

FROM RIFORD, B1 “It’s really fulfilling to work in a place like this because we have a really talented board and members, but also because The Riford is an attribute to the La Jolla community,” she said. Walters noted in an e-mail that her goal for the center is “to make it a household name by elevating the programs and special events. The center is really important to a lot of people.” According to Glen Rasmussen, who chairs The Riford Center Board, Walters brings youth, vitality, intelligence and experience to the job. “With the exceptional assistance of Jamie Saenz, Nancy is doing a fantastic job and has helped make the transition much easier. Our members love and respect her,” Rasmussen said.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - DECEMBER 1, 2011 - PAGE B7

Writing really CAN be fun — honest

Let Inga tell you ... Sometimes people ask me to help their kids with their college application essays under the assumption that I actually have any expertise. I’m happy to help, but first feel compelled to issue the disclaimer that my sum total writing training has been comprised of wantonly publishing often-ill-considered personal stories in my local paper. In fact, I explain, I was turned down as an English/creative writing major on the basis that my writing was way too lowbrow for the literary standards to which the institution aspired. In spite of it, I’ve had some literary successes over the years and at one point was tempted to send them to the head of the English Department at my alma mater. But then I realized that this would only have vindicated her position. (“Thank GOD we didn’t let that woman be an English major here!”) Fortunately for me, I had a mother who instilled in me a love of writing from an early age. The rules were pretty simple, she said: Write from

heart, write what you know, show rather than tell. Sadly, she lamented, most people have had the joy of writing sucked out of them. My mother intentionally never critiqued what I wrote but would buy the stories and poems she liked best for a nickel. Looking at the folder of her purchases that I found after her death, I couldn’t decide whether this was to gently reinforce better writing, or simply to get the stuff out of circulation. For example: When I wake up By Inga (age 9) The morning dawns bright and soggy And the sound of the flushing toilet Wakes me from dreamland I hear the sound of soft clodhoppers lumbering down the stairs. I then hear a strange sound like an elephant being wounded by a hunter. It is only my mother blowing her nose. It may be coincidental, but her frequent suggestion to “write what you know” wasn’t as much emphasized after that. When my son, Henri, was 8, his teacher had the students do short daily writing assignments. Diorama-challenged, I hoped I could at least impart my mother’s

lesson that writing should be fun, but Henri was unconvinced — definitely his father’s child in this regard. (I think I wrote every one of my writing-averse ex’s professional journal articles. At one point, my thenhusband said to me, “I really should give you a credit in the foot notes.” I said, “How about ‘I would like to thank my wife for writing this paper in its entirety.’”) Anyway, one day Henri had to write a story about what you’d say to your younger sibling if he wanted to go to the park alone. Bad assignment for my house; they’d be only too happy to get rid of the sibling. Anyway, Henri predictably wrote, “Little brother, it is not safe to go to the park, etc. etc.” “Henri,” I said, “would you talk like that? Particularly to a brother? No way! You’d say, ‘Forget it, butthead! There’s weirdoes in the park. You wanna end up on a milk carton?’ ” Henri brightened. This had possibilities. I don’t recall the final product but I do recall the inscription on top: “Excellent – rare flash of brilliance!” Like writing what you know, writing from the heart has liabilities. My kids tended to write thank you notes waaaay too much from the heart. We worked on Writing From the Heart — But Correcting For Tact. Of course, in college essays, showing rather than telling is

The deadline is Jan. 6 to nominate a philanthropic Jewish teen for a Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Award at www.jewishfed.org/teenawards/process Teens, ages 13-19, may be nominated by themselves, a teacher, community leader, rabbi, or friend, just not a family member. Their service projects may benefit the general or Jewish community. In the sixth year, the Diller Teen Tikkun Olam Awards are given annually to five young volunteers who demonstrate leadership and commitment to making the world a better place. Recipients are each awarded $36,000 to be used to further their education, to expand current projects or to explore new possibilities.

Jewish teens sought for service awards

That, I said, is showing. OK, so neither of my sons is as much a fan of writing as I am, but when motivated, both have a good time with it, often at my expense. But then, looking back at “Waking Up by Inga, Age 9,” I guess that’s the family tradition.

one of the hardest concepts to master. I was recently helping a friend’s son with his essay about what he learned from foreign travel in the Far East which he described, typically, as “one of the most amazing experiences of my life.” (Yawn.) As luck would have it, my former co-worker, Dave, had recently been in Indonesia and had had a close encounter of the scary kind with a Komodo dragon. Now Dave could have just said it was “scary” (telling). But what he wrote, I said to my teen-age essay writer, was: Of course I couldn’t help but think of how they are dangerous, not because they attack viciously enough to kill you, but rather because their mouths are such a foul breeding ground of intractable diseases that if they ever did bite you, the wound would fester agonizingly until your entire body rotted and slid off your skeleton in great wet chunks.”

Taste the best of both worlds when East meets West at The Inn By Kelley Carlson xecutive Chef John Beriker brings a world of experience into the kitchen at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Growing up in the business since age 14, Beriker at one time worked with legendary chef Wolfgang Puck at Spago, and has served as executive chef at hotels in locations such as Singapore, Germany, Australia and Thailand. Subsequently, Beriker brings an “East meets West” flavor to his dishes. Managing Director Kerman Beriker (who is also John’s father) noted that the best quality ingredients are used and the food is 95 percent organic. “Be open-minded (about the menu),” Kerman suggested. The lunch and dinner menus vary, but among the starters on both are the Thai Vegetable Spring Roll, served with a sweet chili sauce; and The Inn’s Royce Salad (named for the owners) with Parmesan, avocado, bacon and buttermilk ranch dressing. Entree salads, burgers and sandwiches compose most of the lunch lineup — from the Organic Nicoise Ahi Tuna Salad to the Inn Burger (bacon, lettuce, tomato aged white cheddar and grilled red

The pink-hued Oven Roasted Wild Salmon is accompanied by a raspberry beurre blanc, while the Grilled Prime Brandt “All Natural” Filet Mignon is served with red wine lentils, smoked bacon, sugar snap peas and purple cauliflower. From the wok station, there’s Kung Pao and Panang Curry; both can be ordered as meat, seafood or vegetarian dishes. As for dessert, options include Peach Lavender Tart, Coffee Creme Brulee and Chocolate Trilogy Cake. An “Innfusion Kids Menu” is available for the under-12 crowd.

the restaurant from others is that guests can enjoy their food anywhere on the picturesque property. There is a main dining room with red cushioned chairs surrounding tables draped with

white tablecloths, but choices abound. The adjacent library presents a cozy atmosphere, where guests can choose to dine near the fireplace and select a title to read, such as “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy or “Eat Pray Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s also a popular location for wine dinners and eight-course menus. Patrons can also warm up next to hearths in the bar (where locals enjoy watching sporting events on the TV) and on the patio, which gets plenty of shade from umbrellas stretching over the tables. Some guests take their food into the spacious nearby lobby and lounge on couches, often listening to Dan Troxell playing piano from 6 to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Others head outside the Spanish Colonial building to the floweraccented terrace during pleasant weather, getting an eyeful of the Rancho Santa Fe landscape. Kerman added that along with room service, the Inn’s restaurant provides delivery to nearby homes — complete with china and glassware. “(It’s) the same way we do delivery in a guest room,” he said. “Our goal is to offer the best quality and consistency and professional service.”

J*Company to present the Pinball Wizard story Based on The Who’s 1969 double album rock opera “Tommy,” the J*Company Youth theater (now in its 19th Season) will stage its version of the La Jolla Playhouse production by Pete Townshend and Des McAnuff, tempered with respect to family values. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Dec. 3 and Dec. 10; 1 and 4:30 p.m. Dec. 4 and Dec. 11; and 7 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Garfield Theatre in the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive. The production boasts a full rock band and many memorable songs including “Pinball Wizard,” “I’m Free,” and “Amazing Journey.” The curtain rises on post-World War II England, when after witnessing a traumatic event, Tommy losses his ability to speak or care about life. He is saved however, when he falls in

love with pinball and becomes an international superstar at the game inspiring youth around the world. Directed by Joey Landwehr the production is suitable for kids, ages 10 and older. Tickets from $14 at (858) 362-1348 or ddcjc.org/jcompany

FROM 10 questiOns, B1 and events that affect our community. One method to increase participation in our democratic process would be to host live meetings online and allow people to comment and debate on the issues. I would also create outreach to residents by engaging a professional facilitator who would help residents express their thoughts and develop solutions as a team, resulting in a more harmonious and unified community. We have intelligent and passionate people in our town and with the proper leadership, we could be our own best resource. Second, and this will come as no surprise to many, I would love to have walkability and bicyclist safety in La Jolla. A great start would be a safe and beautiful Torrey Pines Road that would provide residents safe access to cross TPR without having to wait between four lanes of high-speed traffic. Enabling this access would also increase foot traffic to The Shores and Village business districts. Residents for Torrey Pines Safety looks forward to seeing these changes in La Jolla’s future.

portrays Molly’s ex Ben. Other cast members include Jenni Barber as young Molly, and Andrew Mueller as young Ben. Duffy said the story reminds her of “Midnight in Paris.” “As actors, we’ve been figuring out the main storyline for how we go in and out of time, what the rules are for time travel, and when it’s magical and when it’s real,” she said. “The idea that maybe we were born in the wrong era or that everyone seems to think there was a better time than today can be tricky to display to an audience. “I just closed a the play ‘Shooting Star’ about exlovers stranded at an airport together who revisit the decisions they made based on bad information. I was surprised how much that play resonated with people.

Concert will feature Italian holiday music from Cristina Fontanelli International singing star Cristina Fontanelli will perform a program of Italy’s best-loved songs, arias, Neapolitan and Christmas classics during her first San Diego “Christmas In Italy” concert, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, at the Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Drive. The holiday concert is in its 8th year in New York City. For the show, Fontanelli will be accompanied by piano, mandolin, guitar and accordion to evoke the authentic Italian flavor of the music. The Italian Cultural Center of San Diego’s Children’s choir will join her as a way to accomplish her goal of preserving such musical gems for future generations. The San Diego program

More on Cristina Fontanelli ■ Website: cristinafontanelli.com ■ Video: http://bit.ly/cristinaontv will also feature classical mandolin artist Chris Acquavella and guitarist Joe Amato. Called a “vocal genius” by the New York Sun, Fontanelli’s show is a love letter to her Italian heritage and a tribute to her grandparents, who kept their traditions alive in their new country. “I decided to begin this tradition of performing

holiday favorites and wellknown songs and arias because of my concern that Italian folk and classical music is quickly becoming a lost art,” she said in a video describing the program. Her repertoire will include works by Donizetti, Tosti, and Puccini, along with the classics “Torna A Surriento,” “Ave Maria,” and the Italian Christmas song “Tu Scendi

dalle Stelle” (You Came Down From The Stars). Born in Brooklyn, she is a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and attended The Juilliard School. Her CD, “Cristina Fontanelli Sings Great Italian Favorites,” is available. The Brooklyn-born singer was awarded the OSIA Lifetime Achievement Award in the Arts (previous recipients include Luciano Pavarotti), and has been cited as one of the top alumni of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and has been named “Woman of the Year” by many Italian organizations throughout the country. Tickets are $38-$48 at brownpapertickets.com/ event/203626 or by calling (800) 838-3006.

Annually since 1962, the REBA award committee (consisting of all previous award recipients) reviews the nominations submitted by the REBA membership and selects the one candidate who best exemplifies the principles of personal integrity, cooperation, salesmanship and community activity. “REBA is such a fine organization with great cooperation by all the members,” said Rob Insinger, award committee chairman, “and each year there are many very qualified nominees. This award is only given to one person each year, and Bob is a great reflection of what the award represents.” REBA was established in 1924 to promote communication and cooperation among Real Estate Brokers and Agents in La Jolla and San Diego. Every year, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of homes are bought and sold with the assistance of REBA member agents.
