City touts shared use; seal rope up Saturday By Pat Sherman As city employees prepare to reinstall a rope barrier at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool on Dec. 15, San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith is touting what he is calling the success of “shared use” between humans and seals at the Children’s Pool (also known as Casa Beach). Presently, the 152 linearfoot rope barrier is only up during the seal’s pupping season, through May 15. It provides a three-foot path for divers to access the water — while serving as a psychological buffer suggesting that humans should stay away from pregnant seals.

Copley Press still seeks to develop land near estate By Pat Sherman Following the death of David Copley — the final heir to San Diego’s Copley Publishing dynasty — Copley Press is forging ahead in liquidation mode, with plans to develop 25 ocean-view acres near the family’s “Fox Hill” estate. Ironically, the plans were presented to the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) on Nov. 20, less than two hours before Copley crashed his car a couple of blocks from La Jolla Rec Center, where DPR meetings are held. Copley died hours later at a nearby hospital, of apparent heart failure. Dean Dwyer, chief financial officer of Copley Press, confirmed

By Pat Sherman The Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) has found its new president in Jacqueline Bell, a Certified Financial Planner and investment manager who previously served as BRCC’s vice president. “Joe Parker talked me into it — that’s my excuse,” joked the Harvard graduate of her decision to assume leadership of the 350-member organization. The BRCC is charged with overseeing a small tax collected from business owners and residents within Bird Rock’s maintenance assessment district (MAD) via their property tax bill. MAD funds are spent on items such as decorative benches, streetlights and

other community beautification, as well as dog litter bags and minor infrastructure projects not covered by the city. “We have so far never had to increase the tax rate at which people pay (into) the MAD and our goal would be to try and keep that at the same level for as long as we possibly can,” Bell said. BRCC membership dues are $35 per year for business owners and residents and include: monthly meetings at Bird Rock Elementary or a local restaurant; a neighborhood watch program; a monthly newsletter; a summer picnic and other community and promotional

FROM PAYPHONES, A1 Waterville Communications President Mike Barone said he sold the business about five years ago. David Thatcher, who owned Waterville Communications with Barone and was listed as the company’s vice president, said they sold the business to someone they eventually filed suit against for alleged “lack of payment on a note associated with the sale.” As a settlement, Thatcher said, “we received the California assets (of Waterville), including the phone located in La Jolla, plus some cash. “We immediately (in 2008) sold the assets to a company in Northern California by the name of TSI. TSI immediately sold the Southern California assets, including the phone in La Jolla, to Mark Edgecombe.” Edgecombe, who could not be reached for comment by press time, lists his business as “Public Payphone” in a voice greeting. “I assure you that this is the slimiest business I have ever known — that is why we are out,” Thatcher responded, via e-mail. Jack Poyer, owner of the building to which the phone

Mike Poyer said the family, largely based in Los Angeles, hasn’t had a contract with the phone operators for years. “We don’t have a lot of resources down there, but I contacted a friend who manages shopping centers and got the name of two different contractors, so I’m going to look into having them take care of that,” he said, assuring that the broken phone will be removed. CPUC spokesperson Christopher Chow said the CPUC will send a commissioner to inspect a dilapidated payphone upon request. “Ultimate responsibility for

CRIME REPORT
Mail riffling reported in Lower Hermosa A resident in La Jolla’s Lower Hermosa neighborhood reported several incidents of a couple riffling through her mailbox to San Diego Police. The resident, who resides on La Jolla Boulevard, said she spotted a Caucasian couple in their mid-40s with dark hair and average builds riffling through her mail as she returned home earlier this month. The female of the couple was reportedly wearing Capri pants and tennis shoes, and the man sported long pants and a windbreaker. The resident said two packages have gone missing from her mailbox in recent months. Anyone witnessing similar suspicious activity should contact San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
Ersatz city employees rob Hillside Drive home Two suspects posing as city water workers burglarized a home in La Jolla Dec. 5. The suspects targeted a home in the 7500 block of Hillside Drive at around noon. According to San Diego Police Lt. Andra Brown, one of the suspects told the victim he needed to check the water on her property. The victim led the suspect through the house, turning on faucets. When they arrived at the victim’s bedroom, the suspect said he needed the victim to go turn on the rest of the water in the house. When she returned, the suspect
was gone. The victim then called the water department, which said none of its workers had been dispatched to the area. The victim noticed three rings missing and called police. Police are warning La Jollans to be cautious before allowing unknown persons to enter their home. — Staff reports

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.

coln and Lynn Reineman. Michelle Fulks, who is taking leave after eight years on the board, will continue to chair BRCC’s annual home tour, which will take place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 26. Also next month will be a dedication ceremony to
commemorate the new median streetlights on La Jolla Boulevard, 4:30 p.m. Jan. 13 across from Bird Rock Coffee Roasters.
A plaque honoring late BRCC member George Sutton will be affixed to a light pole there in his memory. “We’ve got a couple lights not functioning there, which we hope to have fixed before the dedication,” Bell said. In 2013, BRCC will also replace roundabout and median landscaping along La Jolla Boulevard with heartier plants that are more resistant to trampling by wayward humans and vehicles, and dogs relieving themselves, Bell said. BRCC has also redesigned its website, birdrock.org. The site includes a regularly updated community calendar
FROM COPLEY, A1 that the company was “still going forward with the development,” although the plans could be “slightly modified” as the company seeks coastal development and site development permits from the city. “Time will tell,” Dwyer said, noting that all the corporation’s assets are in the process of being sold off. The Copley Press land was listed with California Prudential Realty for about $22 million a few years ago, though the price failed to garner a buyer. Copley Press now seeks to subdivide the land for sale and development, with permits and design specifications in place — an effort to make the property
more palatable to potential buyers, said DPR Chair Paul Benton, of La Jolla-based Alcorn & Benton Architects, which is overseeing the design process. The lots would be sold with permits that include design restrictions pertaining to all future home construction and improvements to the property. The development would include two or three estatesize homes, the largest of which could be as large as 25,000 square feet. Because the land has been designated as “open space” by the city, only 6.3 acres can be developed, said Project Manager Greg Shannon, with Sedona Pacific Corporation. The land will include a conservation easement
preventing 75 percent of the land from being developed. About 1.4 acres have already been developed as an adjunct to the Copleys’ adjacent Fox Hill estate, Shannon said. Last month DPR members and more than a dozen neighbors toured the site. “They’re worried about their views — or what they consider their views,” Shannon said. “Most people are not familiar with the property and it’s very large by La Jolla standards.” The project will come before the DPR committee once more for a vote. From there it will go before the La Jolla Community Planning Association and, ultimately, the city’s planning commission, Shannon said.

and an area where people can renew memberships. “We really want to try and use that more as a means of communication with our neighbors and friends moving forward,” Bell said. “It was kind of static for a long time. … In conjunction with that we are hoping to get a membership card discount program off the ground, so all our members can (enjoy) a tangible benefit of belonging to the Bird Rock Community Council. “It’s also a way to incentivize people to support our local merchants and shop locally,” she said.
“That’s a ways off because an environmental impact report has to be prepared,” he said. Though Shannon said it has been the Copley family’s intent to develop the land or sell the land for development since they purchased it in the late 1950s, a concerted effort wasn’t made to market the property until recently. “The biggest challenge when they started about four years ago was that no one knew it was designated as open space,” he said. “All of a sudden the city took 75 percent of our land value.” Determining which 25 percent to develop has posed added challenges, as neighbors grapple with the potential loss of coastal views, and wildlife habitat. Clark Straw, president of the La Jolla Summit Homeowners Association (HOA), said there are 142 homes in his community, many of which overlook the Copley property. Working with the HOA, Shannon has done a “good job of trying to appease the people that were upset,” Straw said, largely by reducing the number of proposed homes in the development, as well as their height and size. “A couple (of residents) wouldn’t settle for anything, and one’s a lawyer,” Clark said. The property contains an earthquake fault line, according the DPR presentation. • Development Permit Review Committee meets 4 p.m. the second and third Tuesdays of the month at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. • A private memorial service for David Copley at The Salk Institute on Dec. 16 has been postponed to a later date, at a location to be determined, Dwyer said.

Filner spends some of first day as mayor in La Jolla By Ashley Mackin In his first day as San Diego Mayor on Dec. 3, Bob Filner visited schools, neighborhoods and the La Jolla Playhouse to meet with constituents. “Today I was sworn in downtown, but we moved it out of City Hall – the swearing in – we moved it to Balboa Park to show not only that we want to get out of that bubble of City Hall, but, of course, because Balboa Park is such a jewel,” Filner said. After being sworn in at the Balboa Park Club at 10 a.m., Filner visited Memorial Preparatory for Scholars and Athletes Middle, Patrick Henry High, and Central Elementary schools. Filner served on the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education from 1979 to 1983. He then visited the La Jolla Playhouse to meet and take photos with supporters. He said he came to advocate for UC San Diego, the Playhouse, and La Jolla, in general. “We’re absolutely honored that Mayor Filner has chosen to kick off his evening of inaugural events here at the La Jolla Playhouse,” said its Artistic Director Christopher Ashley. “(We’re) excited to have a mayor who is such an art supporter to the San Diego arts community.” Filner began his speech by acknowledging those who

He also said he will be an arts booster and would be attending a play at the Playhouse soon. “We have to do a lot of work in this city on our arts. Yes, (at) the La Jolla Playhouse, but (also) throughout our city and throughout our neighborhoods. We know that a great city is defined by great art. It makes us better human beings,” Filner told the crowd. In addition to supporting the arts and education, Filner said he would work to improve infrastructure in La Jolla. “Even La Jolla needs infrastructure repairs; even La Jolla needs its roads and parking (and) parks maintained,” he said. “The socalled ‘showers’ and so-called ‘lifeguard towers’ need improving, too. “We have a tough job ahead. … It’s a new day and we’re going to listen to new voices and there’s going to be new faces at City Hall, and I hope you will join in with

Meet Christian Jarlov Seasoned bilingual educator proud of La Jolla’s French-American School EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the fourth of a 13-part series bringing you interviews with principals of the 13 schools in La Jolla every other week. You can watch a video portion of the interview online at lajollalight.com — just click on “The Principal’s Office” image on our homepage.
By Catherine Ivey Lee hen it comes to exhtolling the benefits of French bilingual schools, Christian Jarlov speaks from a world of experience — literally. Prior to becoming head of the Mount Soledad-based San Diego French American School three years ago, Jarlov had taught at, run or founded no fewer than six French international schools on five continents. His wife, Sylvie, taught at the schools as well, and the couple’s son graduated from a French international school (he is now, dad proudly notes, working on a Ph.D. in physics in Switzerland). Given the family’s ties to such schools, it is little wonder that Jarlov believes his current school has much to offer the community. “We are very lucky to have such a good school like this here in La Jolla,” Jarlov said in a recent interview in his office, which is decorated by black-and-white photographs of his native France along with two clocks,
W
program in French and English. Not only do students master important language skills, Jarlov says, but they also learn to think in another language and to evaluate different perspectives and question viewpoints. In addition, students benefit from the school’s international environment. Jarlov estimates that nearly 20 languages and nationalities are represented at the school, which draws 40 percent of its students from the La Jolla area.

Dated Design Items That Might Turn Off Buyers AOL recently spotlighted some pet peeves of home buyers that were said to date a home at first glance. 1) Popcorn ceilings. The speckled ceilings can attract dirt and be hard to paint. Plus if the home was built prior to 1980, the ceiling may contain asbestos and need to be tested by an inspector. It can be scraped off and retextured, but it is best to hire a professional for this job. 2) Carpeting everywhere. Many homebuyers today prefer wood floors over carpeting. If you are selling your home and do not want to take out carpeting, it is important to at least have the carpet professionally cleaned, spot free and smelling fresh. 3) Brass fixtures. Shiny brass fixtures are viewed by some as out of date. Often today's buyers prefer satin-nickel or oil rubbed bronze finishes. Big Box retailers offer many affordable lighting options that may give your dining or entry hall a more up to date look. 4) Vanity lighting strips. The Hollywood style strips with a line of rounded bulbs hanging over your bathroom mirrors can also quickly date your home. A quick replacement may give your bathroom a more contemporary look. Just as with so many things in life, it is the little things that count.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE, A8 the day’s agenda before greeting students as they arrive at school at 8 a.m. Detailed and organized by nature, Jarlov said he spends considerable time planning the school’s future, including developing its middle school, which was recently expanded with five new classrooms. In addition, Jarlov has overseen the addition of a fourth language at SDFAS; besides French, English and Spanish, students now have the option to learn Mandarin. Jarlov is eager to educate the public about the school, including the misconception that students must speak or be French to attend. While the school attracts native French speakers and the children of French parents, he explains, all young students learn French at the school: pre-elementary school students, ages 2-5, receive nearly all of their instruction in French. By the third grade, instruction takes place half in French and half in English. Students learn all subjects including math, science, French and American literature in both languages. Jarlov, who loves to stroll the campus and chat with students in French, is also working to inform the La Jolla community about the benefits of bilingual education beyond just language acquisition. “If you learn a language at an early age, before 5 or 6, the brain’s nervous system develops differently. It has more facilities to process data and information. Students develop skills that make them a lot stronger in their own language in disciplines like science and math,” he said, sharing that a new alum recently told Jarlov that he found American high school (in which all subjects were taught in one language) easy by comparison to SDFAS. Jarlov was thrilled. “Our students are challenged all the time to look at the situation, and to ask questions. Our students are probably different but when they move on to high school they will be the type of students who are always questioning, always wanting to know why. That’s really in the spirit that we try to work with our students.” n Up Next: Meet Jim Solo, principal of Torrey Pines Elementary, in the Dec. 27 issue.

Customize your fragrance at new La Jolla perfume shop By Ashley Mackin At the opening of its first store in the United States on Dec. 5, the Parfumerie, 7853 Herschel Ave., hosted a party to find La Jolla’s signature fragrance. Voters sampled different fragrances – and sniffed coffee beans in between to clear their noses and prevent the smells from blending together. The results of their choices will be announced in January. Those interested can still cast a vote through December by visiting the store. The only other Parfumerie location is in St. Martin in the Caribbean. Managing director Rachelle Crumrine said when coming up with La Jolla’s signature scent, “I was looking for something that represented La Jolla’s ‘sunshiny’ days and basically the fresh coast that’s right down the street; just a kind of whiff of the coastal ocean breeze along with the sunshine — something light and refreshing.” Addressing the stereotype that beach fragrances smell
Trish Getch and Maryann Nicoletti sniff the custom fragrances as they develop.
Rachelle Crumrine, managing director for the Parfumerie, stands in front of the more than 300 oils to choose from when making a custom perfume. PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN like the ocean, she said, “there are certain notes in it, it’s not all ocean.” She explained that when sampling different scents (a process that is more psychological than physical), the testor needs to clear his or her nose in between the different scents to get an accurate “reading.”
Crumrine said that smelling something new creates a memory, and so by smelling something familiar, this resets the brain by referring it to another memory. Crumrine’s father, John, owns the St. Martin location and was on hand to help her with the La Jolla opening. On how a signa-

ture La Jolla fragrance would be chosen, he explained that Tijon, which makes the fragrances for the Parfumerie, created 20 that were narrowed down to eight before Rachelle and her friends narrowed it down to three. When it comes to the rights to produce La Jolla’s scent, John Crumrine jokingly said, “We’re just going to do it. If we get in trouble, we’ll change the name.” In addition to voting for the scent, which will be called, “La Jolla,” grand-
opening guests got to experiment with making their own perfumes by combining oils and working with perfume specialists. The Perfume Lab is in the back of the store, where Rachelle Crumrine said, “the magic happens.” In the French tradition, the Parfumerie offers classes in making-your-own fragrances, in addition to selling pre-mixed perfumes and body products. There are more than 300 oils to choose from — ranging from traditional perfume scents, such as flower fragrances, to more thematic scents, like Amber Rain. One of the more popular oils, Rachelle said, is tomato. She said it adds fresh-
ness to the perfume. Trish Getch, who participated in the voting, said the Parfumerie is a “great addition to the town.” John Crumrine agreed. “We always loved La Jolla and my daughter has been living and working in San Diego … so we thought if we’d expand, we’d want our daughter to run it. La Jolla was obviously the first choice. It’s an incredible village (and) we love the people …” The Parfumerie is closed Mondays, open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, noon to 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays.

Adelaide’s: Flowers for every season, reason COURTESY
Say Puesto for upscale Mexican street food By Marti Gacioch When brothers Alan and Eric Adler first tasted Chef Luis Gonzalez’ tacos, they loved them so much that they wanted to open a restaurant. “We’d tasted his cooking at catered parties in San Diego and Los Angeles, and teamed up with our cousin Isi Lombrozo to open Puesto in February (2012),” Eric Adler said. “We wanted to offer La Jolla an upscale Mexican restaurant serving his street food.” The brothers share a Mexican-American cultural background and grew up around
taste treats similar to Gonzalez’ cuisine. “We’d never seen anyone cook such amazing Mexican food,” Adler said. “We also love Mexican architecture and design and wanted to open a modern Mexican restaurant.” Open and bright with two colorful murals by graffiti artist Chor Boogie, Puesto offers a casual family friendly atmosphere. Its simple menu centers on tacos made from all-natural meats, including grass-fed

By Marti Gacioch Adelaide’s has known how to say it with flowers for over seven decades. The Girard landmark still provides traditional floral arrangements while also keeping pace with the growing demand for contemporary designs. According to general manager Jerry Parent, Adelaide’s has served three generations of La Jolla family members with its flower arrangements, and the company’s website reflects a wide range of designs that appeal to all age groups. “Our job is to make sure that our look and our online presence keeps up with our customer’s needs while we provide the same quality of service and individual attention to detail that clients have come to know at Adelaide’s,” Parent said. Adelaide’s customers appreciate its flair for incorporating multiple elements into unique floral designs. “We’ll combine a merry-goround, a Ferris wheel or a nativity scene into a floral arrangement,” Parent said. “We can also add a prized family possession into a design; Adelaide’s attitude is: ‘There isn’t anything that we can’t do.’ ”

During the holiday season, Adelaide’s is busy decorating homes for Christmas and Hanukah, and many La Jolla businesses are also benefitting from their holiday treatments. “This week we had fun decorating the La Valencia Hotel with the traditional elements they’ve used for years, while adding contemporary ornaments,” Parent said. “We also decorated the Hotel La Jolla using natural elements like driftwood, along with marine pieces, like seashells.” For holiday gifts, Adelaide’s offers a “12 Days of Christmas” theme and a selection of Patience Brewster’s whimsical holiday creatures, including a reindeer in high heels!

Everything is made from scratch daily, including the salsas, stoneground tortillas and freshly prepared fruits and vegetables. Chicken al Pastor tops Puesto’s popular menu items. Freshly diced chicken cooked in an al pastor sauce, it comes wrapped in crispy cheese and topped with linga (hibiscus, chipotle) and pineapple. Puesto’s zucchini flower and cactus in crispy melted cheese is a vegetarian favorite. For the holidays, Puesto is featuring shrimp ceviche. “We also have a lot of salads, including our grilled salmon salad, and people can have hot meats and vegetables in their tacos or in a salad or a bowl,” Adler said. “People love our tacos with crispy melted cheese; we put the meats or vegetables inside the cheese and let it get
crispy before putting that on a tortilla.” Mexican side dishes include black beans, white jasmine or brown rice and sweet Mexican corn. Dessert treats include frozen horchata (milkshakes) and fruit cups packed with juicy fresh mango, watermelon, jicama, cucumber and carrots splashed with fresh lime juice, chili and salt. Later this month, Puesto’s food truck will start visiting Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff and Encinitas, as well as downtown San Diego and North Park. Puesto offers Negro Modelo and Pacifico Mexican beers on tap, as well as local craft beers, such as Ballast Point, Stone and Karl Strauss. “Puesto is an upscale high-quality, but casual place to have a quick bite to eat,” Adler said. — Puesto, at 1026 Wall St., is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Sunday.

Is cliff cleaner Slater saint or sinner? Fed up with what he calls “Sacramento’s bureaucratic cowplop,” talk radio personality Mike Slater last week took it upon himself to sweep away the cormorant and sea lion poop from the Cove cliffs to rid La Jolla of the stench now making national headlines. Those it’s-going-to-take-two-years naysayers be damned, Slater blogs about his solo efforts at: http://sdrostra.com/?p=32151 “While our bureaucratic-laden government racks its collective brain, it rained on Friday afternoon,” he writes, “So I walked out on the rocks with a push broom and facilitated Mother Nature’s natural
OUR VIEW cleaning process and pushed the poop into the ocean. It’s not illegal to be on the rocks, and I didn’t use any ‘outside’ water source. Just the rain. “It took two hours to clean the entire cove. Is this going to solve the problem for all time? No. The birds started pooping the next day.” For his bravado, the cove-side restaurant Brockton Villa named a sandwich after him. Now, Slater is calling upon Boy Scout troops and others to “tell Sacramento to take a hike and just clean the bird poop.
Consider it our duty as San Diegans.” Posted responses to his activity ranged from “atta boy!” to “must be nice to break the law when you don’t agree with it.” Whether a publicity stunt (seems like a trend with radio hosts these days) or a civic-minded duty, Slater’s actions point to the frustration and desperation that leads to anarchistic acts. Will he face prosecution? Will he be fined? It’s surely something to think about, and it’s this week’s poll question at lajollalight.com if you want to weigh-in. Our vote is for sinner … wink … wink.

OUR READERS WRITE
Applaud, don’t hinder Christmas is a Christian Cove preservation progress holiday, not a problem (In the story about the Cove bluff plantings in the Dec. 6 issue) it appears that Mr. Jim Allen is shouldering the entire cost and is working for a solution to a problem that occurs on private property and affects a lot of residents, businesses and tourists alike. I find it laughable how the City of San Diego is trying to get in on the action purely from a (financial) interest. Why aren’t people thanking this effort rather than eroding it before it begins — especially when it is non-polluting and is a restorative effort, not like the negative nostarter proposals that have been discussed in the La Jolla Light in previous articles. Peter Conneely posted at lajollalight.com
Homeless congregations troubling to resident Have you noticed all the homeless people gathering at the corner of Torrey Pines and Girard Avenue in La Jolla? It’s disgraceful. I (recently) counted seven shopping carts full of personal effects, trash, rotting food and alcohol. All of this is clearly visible from the street, which makes this doubly disgraceful, as this is the main way in and out of La Jolla. Especially now, with tourists visiting La Jolla for the first time, this is a bad time for this to be happening. How can the San Diego Police Department not proactively get out there and clean up what is clearly loitering, littering and lodging — right on the sidewalk? The Homeless Outreach Team is available, yet when the cops show up, they simply look around and drive back to Pacific Beach. This also goes for all the people begging for money at Torrey Pines and La Jolla Shores Drive. Dear Captain Brian Ahearn of the SDPD, Northern Division: Please do your job! Be proactive. Don’t turn a blind eye to what you see every day. The people of La Jolla deserve more attention and protection, which is why we need to secede from San Diego. Bernard Lockhardt La Jolla
n In response to the Ted Rodosovich letter in the Dec. 6 issue: For three quarters of a century, I have suppressed my thoughts on the blatant discrimination against Christians at this time of year. Christmas was established in the 4th century by Christians to celebrate the birthday of Christ. Just as Hanukkah celebrates the re-dedication of the holy temple of Jerusalem by the Jews, after emerging victorious over the Hellenist Syrians in 165 BC and Ramadan is observed in remembrance of the Prophet Mohammed receiving the Qur’an (653-656 CE). Christmas is a Christian event. These holidays are for the members of the faiths Christians, Jews and Muslims. I have yet to see any protests against Hanukkah or Ramadan yet each year at this time someone raises the discriminatory banner against Christians under the rubric of inclusion. All three religions are willing to include anyone who wishes to join and follow the tenets of the faith. Many groups including Jews, Muslims and Jehovah Witnesses do not believe in Christmas and do not celebrate or criticize others for doing so. May I suggest atheists join together, pick a date and establish their own celebration to which they can invite all non-believers and include believers is they see fit. Eleanor Mosca La Jolla Shores n It seems that Ted Rodosovich (Happy Winter Solstice letter in the Dec. 6 issue) is one of the small minority of American adults who don’t celebrate Christmas. However, a recent Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 88 percent of American adults say they do celebrate Christmas, and 81 percent of this group says they celebrate it as a religious holiday. I think it’s rather arrogant of Mr. Rodosovich to think that his opinion (and that of the other 47 local members of Americans United) should determine what the rest of us can or can’t do. John Cotter La Jolla
n “Happy Winter Solstice” writes Mr. Rodosovich. No doubt, he celebrates his significant holiday on April 1st. Ben Stein, a noted economist, author and Jewish man of letters, writes that he is not offended by “Christmas,” in fact, he loves the spirit of the Christian season for all of which it stands. Why can’t some non-Christians get used to this holiday without donning the cloak of being another of society’s victims? So sad really. Lou Cumming La Jolla

Julia Harting “Judy” Keelin 1918 – 2012
Judy Keelin passed away on November 30, 2012. She was born January 19, 1918, in Elwood, Indiana. She graduated from Indiana University. In 1942 she volunteered for duty in World War II with U.S. Navy as a Wave. Judy was selected for top secret duty under the Pentagon as a code-breaker. She was part of the team who broke the German and Japanese codes. She married Thomas W. Keelin in July, 1947. They moved to La Jolla in 1949 where she actively engaged in community service. Judy helped organize the University of San Diego Auxiliary and served as President for two years; helped organize and served as Dean of the Invisible University of the University of San Diego (La Jolla group); and served as Chairman of the Jewel Ball and President of Las Patronas. She later became a top-producing realtor with the Willis M. Allen Company. Judy was predeceased by her husband, Thomas W. Keelin (1903-1976), and sister, Nancy Harting Woltman (1930-2008). Judy is survived by her only child, Thomas W. Keelin III, his wife, Elizabeth, and their children, Ryan, Patrick and Kristen; niece, Susan Woltman (Scott) Tietjen; nephew, David (Jane) Woltman and their children, Jake and Nicole; and by Susan’s and David’s father, Richard Woltman.

Sheldon Saul Hendler, Ph.D., M.D. 1936 – 2012
We mourn the loss of Sheldon Saul Hendler, Ph.D., M.D., scientist, physician, musician, who died on November 12, 2012, in San Diego, CA. He was 76. He was born May 12, 1936, in Brooklyn, NY. Dr Hendler attended Boys High School and went on to Columbia University where he received a Bachelor’s degree and a Ph.D. in biochemistry. He conducted post-doctoral studies at UCSD and the Salk Institute in La Jolla, CA, where he made seminal discoveries on the structure of the nucleosome and contributed to the development of the first antiviral drugs. After helping found the Medical School at Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, Tijuana, and chairing their first Department of Biochemistry, Dr. Hendler returned to complete his M.D. at UCSD and his medical residency at Mercy Hospital, San Diego. Later, he was affiliated with
UCSD as a clinical professor of medicine. A brilliant biochemist, Dr Hendler was recognized as one of the leading authorities on micro nutrition, human physiology and the impact of diet and lifestyle upon health and disease. His patients benefited from the depth of his knowledge and his ability to customize treatments. During the early phases of the AIDS crisis he had one of the largest AIDS practices in California and was a prominent member of the San Diego Community Research Group. Out of this work he developed special approaches to treating HIV infection. The author of over 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts, Dr Hendler was the author of The Doctor’s Vitamin and Mineral Encyclopedia, The Complete Guide to Anti-Aging Nutrients and The PDR for Nutritional Supplements among others. As founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Medicinal Food, Dr. Hendler pioneered a new level of scientific rigor in the field of nutritional science. Lecturer, educator, physician and scientific consultant, Dr Hendler has sat on the Scientific Advisory Board of Archer Daniels Midland, the Pharmacy Nutrition Advisory Board of the AARP and the US Olympic Science and Nutrition Subcommittee. As a practicing internist, Dr Hendler applied his encyclopedic knowledge of biochemistry to address the most profound mysteries of human metabolism to advance therapeutic options in patient care. Among his many achievements was the world’s first description and biochemical characterization of an entirely new human disease, Elastoderma, described by Hendler and colleagues in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1985. An accomplished musician and concert-level jazz trumpet player, Dr Hendler composed the original musical score for Jacob Bronowski’s acclaimed 1973 television series “The
Ascent of Man”. He was kind, generous to a fault and thoughtful yet incisive and discriminating in his analyses. Dr Hendler’s creative spirit and unique intellect reminded us, as Baudelaire said, that “Genius is nothing more nor less than childhood recaptured at will”. Dr Hendler was preceded in death by his son, Seth. He is survived by his wife, Joyce, and their son, Ross. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.
Tom Montgomery Mowry 1914 – 2012
Tom Mowry was 98 years young when he passed away December 4, 2012, from complications from a fall the day before. Tom was born April 12, 1914, in Alliance, Ohio, to John Logan Mowry and Eleanor Montgomery Huston Mowry. Tom led a rich, fulfilling life and has always been an inspiration to all those who knew him. His wonderful attitude made him loved in the community. He was a member of La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Tom grew up in Alliance. He graduated from High School in 1931 and attended Mt. Union College in Alliance. He was a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity and graduated from Mt. Union in 1935. Over the years, the Mt. Union football teams and their excellence were a source of interest to Tom. He met his wife, Martha, pre-deceased in 2003, when he purchased her father’s insurance agency
and moved to Mansfield. They were married in 1942 and a month later he was drafted into the U.S. Army as a Private earning $21.00 a month. Four months later he was sent to Officer Candidate School at Fort Knox, KY, and 90 days later he was a 2nd Lieutenant. They called these men “90 Day Wonders”. Martha was able to join Tom in the various places where he was stationed, until 1944 when he was sent overseas with the 12th Armored Division, serving in France defending the Maginot Line. Martha returned to live in Ohio with her sister and mother and their first child, Faith, was born in 1944. Faith was so named because Martha had “Faith” that Tom would return from W.W.II safely – as he did. Tom returned home in 1945 as a Major. His children later affectionately called him “The Major”. Two sons were born, John in 1947 and Jeff in 1950. The family lived in Mansfield, Ohio, with Tom running his insurance company. As a side occupation, Tom and Martha built and opened the Motor Hotel in 1949, which they sold in 1955. He included the whole family in this adventure, hiring his kids to help out with the mowing of the lawn, planting flowers and weeding! Martha painted watercolors for each of the rooms and often worked at the switchboard. A road trip west for the family in 1956 was a turning point in their lives. An Ohio friend said to be sure to visit La Jolla on the trip, as it was a beautiful spot. The family did, staying for a week in a cottage at the Shell Beach Apartments. After the return home, Tom and Martha told the family that they would be living in La Jolla for nine months, to see what it was like! During the nine months, Tom sold real estate from the S.M. Simmonds office located in The Colonial Hotel. The nine months stretched into the rest of their lives and could not
have made them happier. He soon was a partner with Willis Allen and they formed The Allen Insurance Agency. Tom was always the most positive, inspirational and loving person. He never judged anyone for any reason. His walks with his lovely wife Martha were legendary in the La Jolla community. Martha passed the cooking torch to Tom around 1990 and he gladly accepted. He continued to bake his whole wheat bread from scratch. Tom and his pals enjoyed their weekly golf game. At 98 he still played golf! Tom cared for Martha throughout most of her Alzheimer’s, never complaining and always helping her remember things. During this sad time his bravery, strength and love will always be remembered and admired. He is survived by his three children, Faith (Norm) of State College, PA, John of La Jolla, CA, and Jeff (Ann) of Morro Bay, CA; six grandchildren, Max (Robyn) Clifford, Alex Clifford, Martha Clifford, Whitney (Justin) Bush, Tom Mowry and Colburn Mowry; and four great-grandchildren, Nina, Molly and Tom Clifford and Ryder Mowry. A brother, John, and a sister, Ann, pre-deceased him. Tom will be sorely missed but long remembered by his family. He was a man of dignity and his word was gold.

FROM SEALS, A1 City prevails in seal suits Superior Court Judge Joel Pressman ruled in favor of the City of San Diego Nov. 13 in two lawsuits involving the seals at Children’s Pool — one filed by seal advocates and another filed by beach access proponents. In one case, Pressman ruled against the Animal Protection and Rescue League, which asked the court to force the city to install the rope barrier year-round. In the other case, Pressman granted the city’s request to dismiss a lawsuit requiring it to disperse the seals. The court ruled for disbursement once before, though that decision was dismissed when state legislation suggested by Goldsmith (AB 428) established Children’s Pool as a marine mammal park. “SB 428 was intended to end legal objections to the city’s policy of shared use (between) humans and seals,” Goldsmith said. “Unfortunately, the lawyers have recently come back hoping to overturn SB 428 and reignite the litigation.” The 300-foot seawall at Children’s Pool, bankrolled by Ellen Browning Scripps in 1931, paved the way for the city to grant the beach in trust to the city as a “bathing pool for children.” In 2009, SB 428 amended the terms of that trust to “give the
(city) council the discretion to create a marine mammal park at the Children’s Pool for the enjoyment and benefit of children,” Goldsmith said in a release. Meanwhile, advocates on both side of the issue are holding fast to rulings in their favor. Two years ago the San Diego City Council ruled in favor of installing the rope at Children’s Pool year-round, a decision that was echoed again this year by the California Coastal Commission. However, the San Diego Planning Commission has ruled twice against the year-round, stating that the pupping season rope is sufficient. Although in his release Goldsmith said Pressman’s rulings “made it clear that under SB 428 the city council decides how the Children’s Pool is to be used,” per the city’s municipal code, “the planning commission has the final say” on the rope barrier. A spokesman for the city attorney’s office told the Light that the city council could “change the law so that for future applications it would have the last word, not the planning commission.” SB 428 gives “broad discretion” to the city council to determine a use for the Children’s Pool, though it “does not set forth a methodology or process. For that, the city must still rely on its municipal
Jerry Horna, president pro tem of La Jolla Friends of the Seals, and fellow seal advocate Dr. Jane Reldan, discuss the ongoing conflict at Children’s Pool. Pat Sherman code and other relevant, existing laws and regulations, including the California Coastal Act,” the representative said. Seal shenanigans According to seal advocate Jane Reldan, with the La Jolla Friends of the Seals (LJFOTS), La Jolla’s pregnant seals are currently in their third trimester. Anywhere from 20 to 40 pups are typically birthed during the month of March, though that number is on the rise, said LJFOTS President Pro Tem Jerry Horna.
Meanwhile, Goldsmith said he is hoping bad behavior from adult activists on both sides is on the wane. LJFOTS’s immediate past president, Ellen Shively, faces charges for spitting in a diver’s face at Children’s Pool last winter. Reldan said the “unfortunate incident” is “close to a resolution.” “Ellen apologized for that,” Reldan said. “She’s taking a sabbatical.” Despite that outburst, Horna said that LJFOTS has a strict code of conduct in place for its docents,
who, like himself, started out merely to provide information about the marine mammals before controversy erupted. “We don’t use bullhorns,” Horna said. “One of those things (we tell docents) is ‘Don’t yell at people, and if there’s a confrontation, walk away.’” Beach access advocates and divers who started a Facebook page titled “Flush the Seals” have since changed the name of their page to the more disingenuous “Marine Mammal Protection Association” (as if to imply association with the Marine Mammal Protection Act). The page, Reldan contends, suggests ways people can cause the seals to flush, or shuffle back into the water — a process which researchers say places undue stress on the animals. “The rope does not prevent people from coming down to the beach, watching the seals and accessing the water,” Reldan said. “There is a need to have the rope because most tourists do not understand that they need to stay away from the seals and not get too close to them. “The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) recommended guideline at Children’s Pool beach is 50 feet, and that is the distance that people should be keeping from the seals.”

Glenn Vanstrum mixes medicine, music, waves with love of family A Minnesotan by birth, Glenn Vanstrum majored in music at Grinnell College before attending UCSD School of Medicine and training in anesthesiology. He jokes that though he has surfed for 37 years, he still wipes out frequently. A pianist since age five, Vanstrum studied with Cecil Lytle and Nathan Schwartz. He practices daily and performs works from the classical, romantic, and modern repertoire on a regular basis, Glenn Vanstrum playing duos with violinist Roy Bak and trios with Bak and cellist Janet White. Vanstrum’s fiction has been published in LITnIMAGE, the Bellevue Literary Review, and THEMA. His book of nature writing, “The Saltwater Wilderness” (Oxford), won a San Diego Book Award. Essays of his have appeared in Sierra, California Wild, and the Los Angeles Times. Vanstrum has e-published five novels and two story collections. Kirkus Reviews wrote of his novel, “Northern Liberties,” — “smartly written” and “a fascinating read.” Find more surfing, writing, and music info at vanstrum.net
Village by the Sea
George Webster Heald, one of La Jolla’s founding fathers, built the first house in La Jolla in 1887, a Victorian-style farmhouse at the corner of Silverado and Exchange. Because he loved horses, he actually built his barn first and lived in it until his house was completed. Painting by Lena Nans
La Jolla’s story unfolds in Historical Society exhibit

What brought you to La Jolla? I was studying piano in the Bay Area and came down to attend UCSD med school in 1976. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? It would be cool if La Jolla had a local Village bus system —something to cut down on traffic. Hard to say, of course, if anyone would use it ... Who or what inspires you? Music is my writing muse these days; along with my wife, Diane; surfing; and crazy stuff from the hospital. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

Ease on down to Fat Fish Cantina for good grub in a pub By Kelley Carlson ere’s the skinny on Fat Fish Cantina Grill: It has an upscale menu, yet it maintains that casual Pacific Beach vibe. Located within walking distance from the sand and Crystal Pier, it’s almost customary for flip-flops to be part of guests’ garb at this restaurant, which offers “SoCal dining with a Latin flair.” But the fare leans toward contemporary Baja California cuisine rather than typical tacos from shops often found along the shore. By day, Fat Fish is often laid back and mellow, although Sundays during football season can be an exception, as fans cluster around flat-screen TVs in the sunlit cantina. During fair weather, patrons often sit on the wrap-around patio and sip Blood Orange Margaritas or other libations while relaxing to the sounds of artists like Jack Johnson. But the tempo picks up in the evening with Latin-fusion tunes, and the festive nighttime atmosphere tends to draw more of a crowd, chef Chris Bates noted. From 6 to 9 p.m. Thursdays on the patio, a band plays melodies reminiscent of the styles of Santana and the Gipsy Kings. In the dining room — which features a high-beam ceiling and skylight — the booths and tables are filled, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

n This week: Fat Fish Cantina’s Shrimp Pozole Likely contributing to the restaurant’s popularity are the weekday specials in the cantina, which begin at 4 p.m. and continue through close. There’s the $5 Maine lobster tail on Mondays; Taco Tuesdays; half off all appetizers on Wednesdays; reduced prices on fish tacos and Pacificos on Thursdays; and $3 Tecates on Fridays. To get a true taste of the Fat Fish experience, Bates suggests pulling up a seat at the bar and selecting a starter such as the Lobster Stuffed Mushrooms, which are oven-roasted in a white wine and garlic-butter sauce, or the Fresh Corvina Ceviche, consisting of
The cantina is a popular location to watch sporting events or to take advantage of weekday specials. PHOTOS By Kelley Carlson white fish marinated in squeezed lime juice with serrano chiles, sweet onion, cilantro, tomato and fried corn. To accompany the appetizers, try one of the cocktails — one possibility is the Drunken Mermaid, a sweet yet spicy concoction of pear vodka, cucumber, serrano chiles, lime juice, agave nectar and elderflower liquor. For entrees, diners may consider the Spicy Carnitas Lettuce Wrap — slow-roasted pork wrapped in romaine lettuce leaf with roasted pumpkin seeds, habanero pickled red onions and fresh lime garnish. There is also the Potato Wrapped White Sea Bass,
which is oven-roasted with a sun-dried tomato chile champagne sauce and served over a sweet corn cake and steamed asparagus; and the Shrimp Pozole, composed of Mexican black tiger shrimp poached in a dried red chile broth with hominy, oregano, shredded green cabbage and pork belly chicharron. Along with lunch and dinner, Fat Fish serves breakfast with items, such as pancakes, omelettes, French toast and “Baja breakfasts” with a side of refried beans and tortillas. “We give a great product for a very decent price, especially at the beach,” Bates said.

Olof swears off medical care forever! Let Inga tell you ...
T
he older we get, the harder it is for me to get Olof to medical appointments. Olof maintains this is because at our age, there’s just no good news to be had. Do they ever say, “Wow, you look so much younger!” he queries? Or, “You really should be drinking more Scotch?” No, he says, they just take pains to remind you that you’re one day closer to decrepitude and death. I’ve previously written about our primary care doctor, whom we affectionately refer to as Dr. No. As in no bread, no pasta, no rice, no potatoes, no fun. Dr. No has a personal vendetta against highglycemic carbs. It’s the potatoes that are hardest for Olof who is a serious spud man. It’s not, of course, that we religiously adhere to this regimen, but it sure sucks the enjoyment
out of eating something your doctor insists will kill you. “Shouldn’t have eaten that,” Olof will mutter glumly after a rare meal of pasta. “It’s got troglodytes in it.” “Triglycerides, Olof,” I’ll say. He’s got the concept if not the details. At this point, Olof refers to a week without white carbs as being “clean and sober.” Not coincidentally, he has developed what he calls a “food porn” habit. He closes the door to the bedroom to watch Rachael Ray make baked potatoes with butter and sour cream, although he admits he always feels dirty afterwards. Anyone who knows Olof knows that he has a strict Do Not Feed the Lions philosophy about medical care. In his experience, comments of any kind to a medical professional only engender tests or more drugs, or more commonly both. Hence, Olof goes into Total Deaf-Mute Mode in a doctor’s office. He’s only there because I’ve bludgeoned him into it. Dr. No and I talk while Olof sits there looking like he’d rather be watching a 12-hour marathon of feminine hygiene product commercials. Never have I known a person with a more world-class
aversion to medical care. But sending him alone to a medical appointment is an exercise in futility. I carefully write out a list of his medications (he has no idea what he’s taking) and a list of questions, which I admit are mostly mine. OK, totally mine. Both usually evaporate into the ether between our home and the doctor’s office. And when he gets home we end up having conversations like this: Inga: So what was your blood pressure? Olof: How would I know? Inga: Um, you were there when she took it? Olof: I didn’t ask.She wants me to take some drug. Inga: For what? Olof: I don’t know. It’s at CVS. Inga: Well, did you ask about side effects? Olof: She said something about calling her if something happened, but I can’t remember what. Still, I have to admit Olof may have a point about medical care. Recently, I strong-armed him into
a physical that just as he feared, showed something that required further tests. And then more tests. Followed by, well, more tests. (Olof’s theory is that our top-ofthe-line medical insurance is just a little TOO good.) Olof missed a ton of work over this and became increasingly surly about it. Ultimately, it was determined that although he had nothing symptomatic, and in the end, nothing imminently wrong, that given his international business travel schedule to places with questionable medical care, it was strongly recommended that he undergo a minimally-invasive preventative one-hour surgery so pathetically routine that a child could practically do it. He could even have dinner the same day! Back to work in two days! Then he wouldn’t have to worry about ending up in a (statistically unlikely but possible) crisis in some far away country. I am definitely adding, “it’s a simple outpatient procedure” to my list of cautionary phrases,
right after “packed flat for easy assembly.” Through nobody’s fault, including and especially Olof’s, the one-hour procedure deteriorated catastrophically into five, and Olof spent most of the next week at Scripps Memorial sucking ice chips, pushing his ondemand pain pump button and muttering through clenched teeth, “But I wasn’t even sick!” I think if he hadn’t been tethered to a lot of machinery, he would have fed me into a wood chipper. Really, really, slowly. Suffice to say, I am not currently his favorite person.This is EXACTLY, he grumbled, 25 painfully-lost pounds and weeks of lost work later, why he avoids medical care. But in all things, there is a silver lining. When he was finally paroled from Scripps, the surgeon recommended a “surgical soft” diet including — yes! oh, yes! — mashed potatoes. For the first time in a week, Olof actually perked up from the dead. He looked at me and whispered, “You will never tell Dr. No.” — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

Mexican photo exhibit opens with film screening By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt It would be difficult to talk about Mexican photography without mentioning Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002), whose long life included some 60 years of creating compelling images of ordinary people and places in the country of his birth. He managed to capture the realities of everyday life in post-revolutionary Mexico in a way that was both poetic and unsentimental. On Friday, Dec. 14, the Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla, 700 Prospect St., will open an exhibit of 35 works from its permanent collection, focusing on Bravo’s impact on contemporary Mexican photographers. Notably featured are 10 pieces by one of his students, Graciela Iturbide, which were recently donated to the museum in memory of Murray “Mickey” Gribin, longtime member of
FROM EXHIBIT, B8 The first Rough Water Swim was held in 1916. Every Fourth of July a daredevil named Horace Poole dove from the cliffs above the caves into the ocean. His most daring feat was covering himself with kerosene and setting himself on fire before plunging into the ocean in 1898. He survived and lived another 45 years. The 1920s were prosperous years for La Jolla, with a building boom and lively tourist economy. Creative architects such as Irving Gill, Rudolf Schindler and Thomas Shepherd were challenged by La Jolla’s unique topography and developed the mixture of architectural styles we enjoy here today. These include California beach bungalows, California craftsman, Mission, Spanish Colonial Revival, English Tudor and Modern (even though La Jolla’s first house was Victorian, it was not a popular style. Several major hotels were built in the 1920s, including The Cabrillo Hotel (1909), later annexed to La Valencia (1926), and Casa de Manana (first built as a resort in 1924). By this time, the streets were paved and

Preceding its opening at 5:30 p.m. will be a screening of “El Velador” (“The Night Watchman”), a film that premiered on PBS-TV. It’s a quietly beautiful docu-
mentary by Natalia Almada, who won a MacArthur Fellowship this year and a Sundance Directing Award in 2009 for her previous film, “El General.” In “El
Velador,” the central figure is a cemetery guard who watches over the lavish mausoleums of murdered Mexican drug lords while everyday life goes on all around. Born in 1942, photographer Iturbide works in black-and-white and shares Bravo’s interest in portraying the daily life of Mexico’s indigenous people. Like him, she has influenced a new generation of photographers in Latin America and beyond with her striking, politically charged, often woman-centered works. Besides Bravo and Iturbide, others featured in the exhibit include Gabriel Orozco, considered the pioneer of conceptual art in Mexico, and several photographers from other countries who have documented the Mexican experience, including Canadian Alex Webb and American Geoffrey James.
“Most of these artists are very well-known in Latin America, but not in the States,” said MCASD’s Education Curator Cris Scorza. “My hope is that showing them here will give people on this side of the border a chance to get to know them.” Of the opening night film Scorza said: “The movie does a great job of telling the story of the narco-cartels from a unique angle, and it speaks to a quintessential Mexican theme of caring for our deceased ones, even if they have done terrible things. Are there other countries where elaborate memorials to criminals are built by their relatives, who still care about them? I don’t know. But the film is a wonderful complement to the photography exhibit.” For more details, visit mcasd.org or call (858) 4543541.

Glassblowing classes make hot, hot, hot holiday gifts By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt If you’re looking for outof-the-ordinary gifts this season, how about this: an ornament-making class at Stone and Glass in Rancho Bernardo? Or a special group tour of Garry Cohen’s Glass Ranch in Escondido (bring your own group) including glassblowing demos? No one on your gift list will say they have one of those! And you can’t beat the hot glass experience, watching someone twirl a fiery blob of molten sand on the tip of a slim metal rod, plunge it into the “glory hole” of a 2,000-degree furnace to keep it pliant, then tweak it with tools that look like they came from the Iron Age, thrust it back into the glory hole, tweak it and pull it and paddle and thrust it, again and again, always twirling, in a mesmerizing fire dance that could easily end with a “Floor Model” — a shattered mess of too-cooled-down glass — but comes instead to a grand finale with the rod held aloft to show off a beautifully colored and shaped piece that’s ready to be tempered overnight in a 900-degree kiln. Even more exciting (though not quite as graceful) is getting to do it yourself. Two North County craftsmen, with spaces, equipment and apprentices reminiscent of Renaissance masters, are known for opening their studios to watchers and doers, giving novices a chance to try their hands at off-hand glassblowing, an art form that dates back more than 2,000 years. James Stone, who set up his Stone and Glass studio at Bernardo Winery a dozen years ago, has been blowing glass for almost three decades. “I know the glassblowing experience changes your life,” he said. “It changed mine. I got hooked at Palomar College, like just about every glassblower in San Diego County, and every week I drink out of that first glass I made with my teacher, Garry Cohen, to remind me I’m still on the journey.” A Jersey boy who started out as a prop-maker for TV and movies, Stone had to leave the trade after a serious injury. He made his

way to San Diego, where he now creates fantasy hot glass furniture, sculptures, and pieces of public art and enjoys sharing his passion with interested students, both young and old. “Kids are fearless,” he said. “They’re not afraid of the fire. Adults come in, and they’re afraid. For me, it’s all about taking them on the journey, so when they go out, everyone has a smile on their face.” In the world of San Diego glassblowers, all roads lead to Garry Cohen, head of Palomar College’s glassblowing program for
the past 20 years. It’s a small world; Cohen calls it “The Brotherhood of the Burning Sands.” And it all began with Val Sanders, who started the program in 1969. Cohen began as a potter and jeweler, but once he discovered hot glass, he was hypnotized by the process. He opens his studio and gardens to the public two weekends a year, at Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day, so hundreds can have the Glass Ranch Experience for themselves. “It’s my Field of Dreams,” he said. “If you build it, they will come.”

In her essay, Melodyanne writes about her family’s traumatic home-buying experience. “Personal ethics, especially honesty and civility, are much more imperative in business than ethics imposed by the government, because marketplace ethics established upon honorable personal ethics ensure that consumers and businesses can respect and trust one another,” she writes. — Light staff

The Bishop’s School pours out 23rd Christmas Tea By Ashley Mackin he Bishop’s School hosted its 23rd annual Christmas Tea, “Joy to the World” on Nov. 29. It featured the school’s choir and a Living Nativity, along with tea and food at the school’s Ellen Browning Scripps Hall. As parents, teachers, community members and students mingled, finger foods and tea were served. Then a performance from the school’s choir and a prayer led by Rev. Brian Fidler entertained the standing-room only audience. In accordance with the theme, Bishop’s Head of School Aimeclaire Roche opened the ceremony with a reading of the lyrics to “Joy to the World” and thanked her fellow organizers, Cassandra Wong and Susan Zau. Roche then introduced the choir, who sang Christmas songs as a living nativity walked through the hall and stood in front of the choir. “The theme ‘Joy to the World’ and the Tea itself is a great community moment,” Roche said. “It reminds me, particularly at a time when we face unrest in geo-political circles, that all peoples and nations — and in turn, their peace and prosperity — are interdependent. There is no better time than Christmas to remind ourselves how precious joy is, and to work with all our talents for more joy in our communities and more peace in the world.”

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 Such a fantasy... Beethoven at the head of the table, of course, the young Beethoven who could hear; and Mozart with his wife, Constanze; Brahms would have to be there to meet Ludwig and, of course, his friends, Robert and Clara Schumann, the former, hopefully, before he went insane. Franz Liszt could perform for us after dinner, and Albert Einstein — a fine amateur violinist in his own right — might round things out. Dream on, eh? What are your five favorite movies of all time? Diane and I are studying a slew of flicks now, since I’m writing a screenplay with the tagline, ”A young psychiatrist, ignoring her lecherous director, puts three musician-patients together to find that the deeper the madness, the sweeter the music. Brooklyn Notes.” My current five: “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” “Shine,” “Music of the Heart,” “Mozart’s Sister,” and “Mr. Holland’s Opus.” What is it that you most dislike? Cancer. The body turning

A CEREMONY OF CAROLS La Jolla United Methodist Church Sunday, December 16 at 4 p.m.
What is your mostmarked characteristic? I’ve always been the tall guy. What is your motto or philosophy of life? “In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they ain’t.” Thanks, Yogi! What would be your dream vacation? Just had one. I stayed here in La Jolla with my wife and two sons, practiced trios with Roy Bak and Janet White, gave a solo concert at Encinitas Library, and had a great Thanksgiving dinner party. Did I mention there was also a bitchin’ NW swell? The Vanstrum gang (Erik, Nick, and moi) surfed together at WindanSea. That was a dream, and reality, too.

A.P.N.: 356-090-10-00 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being 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. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case file number. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Put the skids on the Seasonal Seven Clam Bam Thank You Ma’am – A Garden Mary Mocktail
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
’T
is the season for packing on pounds — from Halloween’s candy orgy through to New Year’s cocktail culture with some fatty, carbo-loading pit stops in-between — Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Kwanza and Christmas — not to mention the assorted holiday parties. Studies in the New England Journal of Medicine have reported that the average person gains over a pound during this period, while 10 percent actually put on five to seven pounds of holiday cheer. Make this a healthier, slimmer season, just as divine, but minus the high calorie, artery-clogging celebratory monsters. Get a leg up Die-hard dark meat, leg, wing and skin lovers need to keep abreast of their birdeating habits. Since domesticated turkeys are flightless, they use their legs for trotting, causing the thigh and leg muscles to become rife with myoglobin proteins. This makes the flesh a darker color along with a higher caloric and fat content. But the skin’s the thing, winning the prize for the most fat (3.5 ounces contain almost 500 calories and 44 grams of fat compared to the leanest, skinless breast meat with 161 calories and 4 grams of fat). So chuck the skin, choose white meat over dark, and avoid the wing altogether, which packs a whopping 13 grams of fat. If you prefer a more elegant bird for holiday dinners, choose Rock Cornish hens or quails over the gamier, fatter fowls like duck or geese. As a heart-healthy bird alternative, serve grilled or poached, omega-3 rich wild-caught salmon with a crunchy almond crust for an added oomph of omega-3s, along with fiber and
■ Ingredients: 2 cups clam or vegetable juice 1 cup carrot juice 1 English cucumber (unpeeled, cubed) 2 tablespoons lemon juice (I prefer Meyer) 2 to 3 teaspoons white horseradish 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 jalapeno (stemmed, seeded) 1/2 teaspoon celery salt 1 sweet red pepper (seeded) Sea salt and black pepper to taste ■ Directions: Puree cucumber in a food processor then strain the juice through a fine sieve. Discard pulp. Add juice and remaining ingredients to processor, and puree. Pour into martini glasses and garnish with toothpick-skewered caper berries, or carrot and celery sticks.
friendly mono and polyunsaturated fats. Use your noggin’ Trim down some faves like decadent eggnog by swapping out cream for skim milk, sugar for agave, rum and brandy with extracts of vanilla and rum, and whole eggs for egg substitutes. For canapés and hors d’oeuvres, go lean and light with crudités and assorted hummus and baba ganoush dips instead of creamy, fatty ones, grilled veggie or shrimp skewers, and steamed gems like a variety of pot stickers. Kibosh deep-fried, breaded munchies and baconwrapped anything or sub with turkey bacon. Be carb-conscious You can still enjoy all your scrumptious holiday sides, just rejigger them using friendly fats, complex carbs, and fiber-rich, low fat grains. When sautéing veggies for stuffings and other dishes, put butter on hiatus and use organic olive oil instead. Make stuffings with whole wheat or multigrain breads rather than pasty Wonder White. Or concoct a cholesterolbusting oatmeal, prima vera blend with shredded zucchini, carrots, peppers and broccoli loaded with antioxidants and fiber. Rice is always nice, especially wild or B-complex rich brown with assorted mushrooms, dried cranberries and toasted pecans, or high protein quinoa with nutty, aromatic notes for an
elegant change-up. Slim down mashed potatoes blending in Greek yoghurt, goat cheese or rice milk instead of the bazillion calorie butter and cream combo. As for the gravy, do mushroom or vegetable-based instead of traditional fatty giblet. Sweeten the deal When baking holiday pies, choose pumpkin, apple, berry or sweet potato fillings over the sugary, buttery, high-calorie pecan, and lose the top crust. Be frugal-handed when doling out whipped cream or ice cream, or use frozen, dairyfree treats made of coconut, hazelnut, rice or almond milks. Bake heart-healthy dark chocolate treats (70 percent or higher cocoa content) such as, walnut brownies packed with antioxidants and mood elevating goodies to end the meal on a sweet high. Skinny swigs Shake things up with these refreshing and festive low cal non-alcoholic drinks: a pomegranate keylime spritzer garnished with the precious ruby seeds; a Hibiscus Cosmopolitan with hibiscus tea, honey, coconut water and lime juice jazzed up with floating petals; a Grapefruit Mint Mojito blending grapefruit soda with agave syrup and lime juice; a Mango Lada, a twist on a Pina Colada with fresh mango chunks, cream of coconut and limes. — For more holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit FreeRangeClub.com

SDAR stats show bump up in San Diego home prices From SDAR reports The most recent local housing statistics – released Dec. 10 by the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SDAR) – show median prices of resale properties continue to climb. The median price of single-family (detached) homes in San Diego County was $408,000 in November 2012, up 2 percent from the previous month and 17 percent higher than November 2011. November resales of condos and townhomes (attached properties) were even stronger, up 6 percent from October and 27 percent higher than November 2011. Year to date, median prices of all existing properties are up 6 percent compared to 2011. The number of sales of existing homes drooped in November as inventory remains at historic lows. Single-family home sales were down 13 percent from the previous month, and condos/townhomes sales were down 5 percent. However, the number of resales rose compared to a year ago, and year to date they are up 12 percent compared to 2011. “The competition for resale homes is fierce because inventories are so low,” SDAR Board President Donna Sanfilippo said. “We’re seeing multiple offers on homes across the county and median prices are being driven up as a result. Sellers should take heart. The local real estate market simply needs more homeowners to take advantage of this

REBA has free maps of La Jolla neighborhoods FROM REBA REPORTS La Jolla, like London, has hidden microneighborhoods. But London gives visitors a chance because they post signs. Not here! You just have to know where Upper Hermosa changes to Lower Hermosa, which part of Country Club doesn’t touch the golf course, and where to find Soledad South, the Old Muirlands, Bird Rock, La Jolla Mesa. Where did these designations come from? According to REBA, a group of Real Estate Chuck Helsel La Jolla Light Ad.pdf 4/23/2012 2:05:14 PM agents laid them out decades ago in an effort to bring organization to showing prop-

erty here. Beach-Barber Tract, La Jolla Shores Heights, Hidden Valley, the Village – once you get the hang of it, it all makes sense. Locals know their neighborhoods, and so do REBA agents. REBA has a free, portable, old-school, fold-up map of La Jolla and surrounding area, printed in a large, readable font, that unlike a GPS, will give those interested the big picture. The maps are available from Kathy Steever at the REBA offices, 908 Kline St. Visitors find them particularly useful, since La Jolla is not laid out on a Midwestern-style grid.
