By Ashley MAckin duardo, 5, loves his present from Santa Claus. He is one of more than 100 kids from the St. Vincent de Paul’s facility for homeless children in San Diego who attended the 13th annual holiday party on the rooftop of La Jolla Cove Suites, Dec. 6. Cove Suites owner Krista Baroudi hosted the event with help from the San Diego Harley Owner’s Group (HOGs), who donated toys, and “a generous donation from The Kiwanis Club of La Jolla that truly helps to make it the special night it is,” Baroudi said. “The party gives these children, who are experiencing transition and difficulties in their personal lives, a special night that is all about them,” she added. While waiting to greet Santa, the kids ate pizza and listened to DJ Brett Matson spin holiday tunes. When Santa arrived, he offered each child a gift and a few big hugs. u

From Cove StenCh, A1 Though the work seemed to temporarily rid the Cove of its reek — the odor has returned, nearly as pungent as before. Outcry from La Jolla merchants who have lost business from the smell prompted Stacey LoMedico, the city’s new assistant chief operating officer (formerly director of park and recreation) to issue a memo stating that city staff would consult the city’s risk management department and city attorney’s office to determine whether an opening and/or gate can be installed in the fence on Coast Boulevard to make it easier for humans to access the bluffs at La Jolla Cove — their presence a possible deterrent to coax sea lions from the area.

Pat Sherman squirting them with Super Soakers — a few of the tamer methods a government may use to thin sea lions or other marine mammal profusions under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). It is estimated that there are as many as 241,000 sea lions residing off the coast of California and Baja, Mexico. Any a given time there may be between 500 and 1,500 sea lions off the coast of Monterey, though during periodic, two-week infestations, Pryor said, as many as 5,000 mostly male sea lions (each weighing an average 700

pounds) have been known to take over Monterey Bay. The creatures haul out on docks, boat ramps and coastal walking trails, capsize boats, destroy dock plumping and leave large amounts of bacteria-laden fecal matter in their wake. “All that stuff costs the citizens money,” Pryor said.

In an effort to reduce the number of sea lions at La Jolla Cove (and to create an overall plan to severely reduce the odor), San Diego city officials are analyzing methods employed by other municipalities along the California coast that have unwieldy sea lion numbers. The City of Monterey, also experiencing a proliferation of sea lions, has trained staff and volunteers to walk its docks generating noise to shoo them away. Scott Pryor, a marine operations supervisor with the City of Monterey, said Monterey’s paid “animal behavior modification” specialists have spooked seal lions with the Theremin-like sound produced by wiggling a metal tape measure, by jangling keys or

public perception is crucial, Pryor said “To what degree do you want to make it look like you’re hazing them?” he questioned. “The danger is that people think they’re cute. … Mothers and fathers want their kids to get a picture next to an animal that’s unpredictable. It’s about public safety, health and protecting people’s personal property.” At Bonneville Dam near the OregonWashington border — where California sea lions threaten salmon populations — the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which administers to MMPA, has allowed the states to trap and kill a number of sea lions each year, by lethal injection. Under section 109(h) of the MMPA, officials, employees and designees of governments have the authority to harass, capture or euthanize a marine mammal if such action is done to protect public health and welfare. A government may also remove a marine mammal by non-lethal methods if it is determined to be a public nuisance. In Monterey, the city at times has erected two-foot tall, plywood barriers in front of sea lion haul out sites, which Pryor said is usually enough to cause them to move to a fenced-off rock jetty on the northwest side of the harbor, about a third of a mile way. There, the public can view the sea lions safely, from behind a fence. Controlling such incursions is particularly challenging, said NOAA marine mammal biologist Monica DeAngelis, who has helped municipalities create and study sea lion

deterrent methods. California sea lions — which have been taught to jump through hoops of fire and balance balls on their noses in theme park shows — multiply faster than seals and other pinnipeds because they are highly intelligent, adaptable and opportunistic. “You have to stay one step ahead; you have to have a lot of tools in your basket,” said DeAngelis, noting that one sea lion will often challenge a deterrent method, and if successful, others will follow. The best way to control a sea lion population is to employ a variety of deterrent methods simultaneously, she said. “It’s that randomness that works really well at continually deterring them,” DeAngelis said, noting that no one method will work all the time. “We’re trying to build this creative toolbox of methods; we are open to anything and everything.” Deterring sea lions by making noise has, overall, not always been successful, said DeAngelis. More effective deterrents, she said, include spraying them with water (when they haul out, they don’t like to get wet) and the use of gyrating, inflatable air dancers like those seen at street fairs and car dealerships (which have been particularly effective in coaxing sea lions from docks at Moss Landing, California for long periods). DeAngelis worked with San Diego-based Hanan and Associates marine consulting company to create a fence that prevents marine mammals from hauling out at specific sites, which proved effective in several Southern California spots. The fence rungs are encased in PVC pipe, which spins, preventing sea lions from gaining a flipperhold when they attempt to breach the fence. However, she noted, “It’s permanent, so that can be somewhat unattractive for a lot of these public areas.” At Moss Landing and in other areas, use of a low-level electrical current has also proved an effective barrier/deterrent to keep sea lions from hauling out. Though the current annoys the sea lions, it is not harmful to the marine mammals or humans, DeAngelis said. “Researchers could put both hands on it and didn’t feel it,” she said of the current, developed by Smith-Root Fisheries Technology.

California sea lions multiply faster than seals and other pinnipeds because they are highly intelligent, adaptable, opportunistic. Pat Sherman considerable community consensus during the past year, in part fueled by recollections of a time when people walked down along the cliffs daily, and there were no sea lions (before installation of the fence more than a decade ago). Early last week, Gina Coburn, communications director for the city attorney’s office, e-mailed La Jolla Light to say that the city attorney’s office had sent the mayor’s office and other city staff “confidential advice … pertaining to legal issues and risks” associated with facilitating easier human access to the unstable bluffs. “There is no legal prohibition against removing a portion of the existing fence adjacent to the bluffs,” Coburn reaffirmed in her e-mail, though adding, “we believe input from a safety expert should be considered by city staff if they wish to go forward.” Alex Roth, a spokesperson for Interim Mayor Gloria, said the mayor, LoMedico and other city officials are “analyzing” that advice to determine “the best course of action” to eliminate the odor. “Every option remains on the table,” Roth said, noting that removing or opening the fence is not the only solution city staff is considering. “We recognize this is an issue that needs to be addressed. It’s high on the priority list of this administration.” u

From Business roundup, A1 Also on Prospect, two prominent buildings sold in the past month, including the 5,623-square-foot, two-story office building at 930 Prospect St. leased by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage (which went for $6.2 million in cash). The longtime La Jolla real estate company will remain as the sole tenant. The building was constructed in 1990, and remodeled five years ago. In addition, the approximately 29,252-square-foot building at 909 Prospect St. (home to Barfly nightclub and restaurant) sold for $12 million. The twostory building, originally housing a Hard Rock Café, was built in 1989.

past,” said Davlyn CEO Jon Williams. The project team also includes La Jolla’s Alcorn & Benton architects and Jim Rinehart of CBRE, among others. Williams said Davlyn is in “advanced talks” with multiple tenants, and continues to court others, though none have been announced to date. “We are searching for a salon or a luxury spa for the third floor, as well as a restaurant for the premier space in the building that includes ocean views and terrace seating,” Williams added in a news release. “We expect to finally begin announcing the names of our first group of shops (sometime this month).” Speaking with La Jolla Light, Mike Slattery of Cassidy Turley commercial Real Estate, and Phil Wise of Colliers International Real Estate, both said they have great hopes for the upscale, high-profile center, though note that it could be hard to lease, given that there is no direct ground-floor access to the facility (though there is an exterior elevator).

n The Commercial Pulse Given today’s array of online shopping

options, national retailers are more tentative about brick-and-mortar sites, and their associated overhead costs, Slattery said. “They’re signing shorter leases typically (and) they want provisions that allow them to cancel early,” he said. “Some want to be on a yearto-year basis, so if they have a marginal store they’re not stuck in a 10-year-lease.” Slattery said retail tenants also seem to be downsizing, and deliberating more before they open in a particular market, such as La Jolla, taking into consideration what tenants are already there (to drive customer traffic), as well as the availability of parking and the condition of streets, sidewalks and other common areas — something Slattery said is sorely lacking in La Jolla. Given budget cuts at the city, Slattery said funding for common area upkeep may have to come from a private funding source, noting the La Jolla Community Foundation’s upcoming Partners in Grime community beautification project. “Sometimes you only get one shot and (if potential tenants) see a lack of attention (they go elsewhere),” he said, noting that many of the buildings in La Jolla are owned in trust or by heirs that don’t live in the

region and thus aren’t as invested in the property’s upkeep. “You’ve got to convince people that this is a first-class market and that we’ve got a first-class venue that’s going to be taken care of,” Slattery said. “That’s the issue I run up against every day.” Another challenge, said Wise, is that many of La Jolla’s historic buildings have façades or window spaces that don’t meet the needs of modern retailers, yet a potentially historic status may prevent them from being altered. “If you can’t really change the look of the buildings, then you can’t get the tenant and you have an empty building,” he said. “In the Village, you have a community that really is stuck in the wrong century,” Wise added, noting further impediments to change codified in La Jolla’s copious design standards. “You have all these roadblocks in front of you to do deals, or to attract people. This is a resort community that is so set in keeping things as they were — and the world’s moving on.” Wise also noted the trend away from retail merchants toward service-based merchants, particularly the proliferation of gyms and exercise studios.

The much-anticipated remodel of the three-story building formerly home to Jack’s La Jolla restaurant and nightclub complex at Wall Street and Girard Avenue is taking longer than anticipated. Its unveiling as the luxury, boutique shopping complex, La Plaza, La Jolla should now take place in February or March of 2014 (instead of this month, as initially announced), according to Dempsey Construction, which is completing exterior and interior renovations. A Dempsey representative said the company took the demolition phase as far as it could, and was waiting for the city to issue the actual building permit, which it received this month. Improvements to the 33,626-square-foot complex include installation of plaster and pre-cast concrete features, new windows throughout, decorative guardrails, new pavers, hand-painted accent tiles and a combination elevator-clock tower. Davlyn Investments acquired the property at auction in November 2012. “We saw this as an opportunity to redevelop and revitalize, arguably, the premier corner in La Jolla with a new energy, while bringing back the elegance that existed in La Jolla in years

“Health clubs do help certain types of retailers, so they’re actually good for the Village,” he added, noting people often stop for a bite to eat or to buy clothes or other exercise-related gear after their workouts.

n Dining options The space formerly occupying Forever Fondue (adjacent Barfly at 909 Prospect St.) will soon reopen as Richard Walker’s Pancake House. The gourmet breakfast spot, which has another San Diego location in the Gaslamp District, was founded in 1948 in Evanston, Ill., just north of Chicago. Owner Richard Walker, son of the eatery’s co-founder, said he feels La Jolla’s mix of discerning diners and business professionals is a perfect fit for his establishment. “I feel very confident we’re going into the right market,” said Walker, who also considered opening in Coronado, Del Mar, Liberty Station and Rancho Santa Fe before choosing La Jolla. Earlier this month, New Orleans native and La Jolla resident Kate Masel set her gourmet food truck, New Orleans Cuisine and Catering, in motion. Kevin Smith, the former owner of Extreme Pizza, is serving as the truck’s operations manager. The business features an array of Cajun offerings such as chicken and Andouille sausage gumbo, and shrimp and Andouille sausage jambalaya, as well as creole offerings like shrimp and corn bisque and crawfish or shrimp etouffee. Everything is prepared on site, including po’ boy sandwiches, California catfish tacos and warm, powder sugar-dusted beignets (deep-fried creole-style fritters). In addition, the space formerly occupied by Ortega’s Place at 621 Pearl St. has been replaced by an authentic, Tijuana-style eatery called, The Taco Stand, owned and operated by the proprietors of Pizza on Pearl. Mary’s English Kitchen is scheduled to open at 7918 Ivanhoe Ave. in early 2014, in the 1,346-square foot space formerly occupied by Mr. Taco (which has been vacant since the space caught fire and was remodeled last year). The building is owned by Capital Growth Properties, a representative for which said they are in negotiations to lease two other vacant spaces in the building (located next to the Wall Street post office).

n Health and wellbeing Dentists David and Jeffrey Brockett are moving into the former James S. Copley Library and Copley Press headquarters at 7776 Ivanhoe Ave., Suite 100. The 25,659-

square-foot building and adjacent parking lot sold for $6.15 million in October 2012, as part of the Copley Press liquidation process. It is now almost completely occupied. In early January, La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic will open in a newly remodeled space in the 7700 block of Fay Avenue, that is quadruple the size of its former site at 1111 Torrey Pines Road. Finally, Dr. Thomas Yee has opened the La Jolla Medical Clinic for Rapid Opiate Detox in the La Jolla Professional Building at 1150 Silverado St. With assistance from Dr. Jennifer Prager of Counseling Clinics of La Jolla, Yee’s program helps people overcome addiction to opiates — from heroin to the powerful prescription painkiller, Oxycodone. The “rapid detox” procedure, performed in a hospital, helps patients overcome their addictions while minimizing painful, physical withdrawals.

n Other transitions SoCal Queen has opened at 1010 Torrey Pines Road, at Girard Avenue. The owner is Benthe Fahr. The women’s boutique focuses on the plus-sized market, featuring designs from Diane Kennedy, X-two, Not Your Daughter’s Jeans and Liolà Italian knits. In Spring 2014, Women’s Elite Yoga (WEY) studio will open in the space formerly occupied by Max Muscle nutrition shop (7514 Girard Ave, unit 3, near Vons grocery). Alex Arias, a former professional ballerina and native of Ecuador, is the owner. Arias moved to the United States at age 19. While in college, she started teaching step aerobics, Zumba, group exercise classes and spin. She was introduced to yoga three years ago, and previously taught at Hapa Yoga in San Diego. The Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines hotel is undergoing a renovation, which includes new exterior paint, new guest room balconies and upgrades to its gym and pool. A remodel of guest rooms was recently completed.

n Curtain call? A longtime fixture in the community, Schroeder Piano Company at 5860 La Jolla Blvd., is for sale. Owner Peter Schroeder, whose family got started in the piano business in the late 1800s, is hoping to sell the business to someone who will keep it in Bird Rock. Inquires should be addressed to Robert McCullough at (619) 581-7112. From noon to 6 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 21, Thumbprint Gallery artists will set up easels for a spontaneous “flash art” event in front of the piano store. People may come in and try out some of the instruments. u

Running Posture Proper posture while running is important to prevent knee injuries. According to a recent article in Advance for Physical Therapy & Rehab Medicine, 42% of all running injuries occur at the knee with the most common symptom being pain. Studies by Blackburn and Powers have shown that when the trunk is in flexion, there is less stress on the knee, while running with an erect trunk can create torque at the knee joint and quadriceps muscle resulting in pain. There are four phases of movement when running: stance, early-swing, mid-swing and late-swing. Stance is when the foot strikes the ground and forces are transmitted from the ankle up to the knee where the patellofemoral joint absorbs shock. The stance phase is when most injuries occur due to the joints decreased ability to absorb shock.

San Diego Police Northern Division Capt. ne home Jerry Hara said parents of the 18-year-old white male suspect phoned a neighbor and asked them to check on their son. The neighbors found the suspect m had unconscious in his apartment in the 400 block of Rosemont Street. ully theyCapt. Hara said police arrived at approximately 6:50 p.m. Dec. 13 and found the suspect dead. Near the body police found a suicide note, an empty bottle of wine and several bottles of prescription drugs, including the powerful narcotic Oxycodone and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. The man allegedly robbed a CVS in the 7500 block of Eads Avenue at gunpoint shortly before 11:30 a.m. Dec. 13 while wearing a suit and a mask like that used in

the film “V for Vendetta,” police said. Hara said police recovered an Airsoft (nonlethal) gun at the Rosemont Street residence, along with a mask, a black blazer and black dress slacks (like those witnesses describe the suspect wearing during the crime). According to San Diego Police Lt. Misty Cedrun, the suspect brandished his weapon at the pharmacist, staff and several shoppers, though nobody was injured during the incident. A witness at the scene told La Jolla Light he saw the suspect arrive and depart the pharmacy in a white, Volkswagen sedan that matches one Hara said police found parked outside the Rosemont Street address. Sources close to the Light say the suspect was a 2013 La Jolla High graduate who worked as a bagger at Vons grocery store in La Jolla. The results of an autopsy conducted Dec. 14 were inconclusive. At the time of this report, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s office was waiting for a pathologist to determine the cause of death. u

By Pat Sherman Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography will close its largest exhibit in January to repair cracks in its concrete base, and possibly add new fish to the mix. Birch’s kelp forest, which mimics Southern California’s diverse marine ecosystem, will be closed from Jan. 6 to Feb. 8. The $120,000 repair involves draining the 70,000-gallon tank and temporarily relocating fish while workers fix cracks in the rockwork, due to rusting rebar embedded within, which caused the rockwork to expand. “This is by far our biggest tank,” Birch’s executive director, Nigella Hillgarth, said of the exhibit, which is located halfway through the aquarium and has public seating in front of it. “It fills up the entire wall,” Hillgarth said. “It’s

Judge orders removal of Mount Soledad cross From StaFF reportS A federal judge in San Diego issued an order on Dec. 12 declaring that the government’s display of a 43-foot-high cross atop Mount Soledad in La Jolla violates the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ordered the cross be removed within 90 days, but stayed the order until all possible appeals have been exhausted. The federal monument was challenged in a 2006 lawsuit by the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America and several local residents, all of whom were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union. “We support the government paying tribute to those who served bravely in our country’s armed forces,” said Daniel Mach, director of the ACLU Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief. “But we should honor all of our heroes under one flag, not just one particular religious symbol.” The cross was erected in 1954 and dedicated at an Easter ceremony describing the monument as a “gleaming white symbol of Christianity.” In 2006, the federal government,

Local Reaction

the mount Soledad Veterans memorial at the base of the cross displays more than 3,000 plaques honoring veterans — living and deceased, from the revolutionary War to the current conflicts in the middle east. File

■ VIEWS: La Jollans express their thoughts about the cross decision, A18 through an act of Congress, obtained the title to the cross and its surrounding property by eminent domain, and declared the cross to be a national war memorial. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2011 that the cross violates the First Amendment. After the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, it was remanded back to federal court in San Diego, where last week’s order was issued. The Mount Soledad Memorial Association, which maintains the cross and surrounding walls covered with plaques honoring war veterans, is appealing Judge Burns’ decision, which association spokesperson Bob Philips called “a reluctant ruling.” In 2008, Burns ruled that the cross was constitutional and did not need to be removed. But the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals sent it back to him, ordering that either the parties

agree to a resolution or, if not, Burns provide a remedy. The memorial association is hopeful the Supreme Court will eventually hear the case, noting that Justice Samuel Alito said in his concurrence for denying review that the court might look at it after such a remedy was in place. “We believe the (Supreme Court) court left the door open,” association president and CEO Bruce Bailey said, adding that last week’s ruling, “while disappointing

… was not unexpected.” Phillips acknowledged that the cross could be removed, while the memorial walls remain, though he said it is the association’s view that “the cross is still part of an integrated memorial.” Phillips said the association would abide by the Supreme Court’s decision, once it has heard the case. “So many people say the cross must stay, and they want it to go through the process of getting to

the Supreme Court,” Philips said. Rev. John George Huber, pastor emeritus of University Lutheran Church in La Jolla, said in a statement that he would like to see the cross remain as a tribute to military personnel who gave their lives to protect U.S. citizens’ freedom of religion. “A much larger cross stands 103 feet high on the top of Mt. Davidson, a public park in San Francisco,” Huber’s statement read, in part. u

La Jolla Shores infrastructure projects underway La Jolla

Shores

Association

By Ashley MAckin The Sewer and Water Group 809 Project and Infrastructure Replacement Project began along Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores Dec. 9, so engineers and contractors overseeing the projects provided a question-and-answer session at the Dec. 11 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting. The projects include demolition of the 50-year-old storm drain at the end of Avenida de la Playa, and 1,300 feet of piping leading up to it, and repairs on more than 9,000 feet of sewer and water pipes throughout the Shores. The projects will happen concurrently. City engineer Akram Bassyouni explained the benefit of combining the projects, which came at the encouragement of the LJSA. “This way you have just one person who can control all construction facets,” he said, which eliminates possible traffic control conflicts. The Infrastructure Replacement

Project began with the demolition of the storm drain, which will close off the intersection of Avenida de la Playa at Camino del Oro for at least two-and-a-half months, said community liaison Vic Salazar. The kayak rental companies that use the intersection to launch their kayaks will temporarily launch one block north at Vallecitos. City traffic engineers visited the site to lend their final approval to traffic detours, a temporary loading zone and parking restrictions created for the project. The project starts at the beach and will work its way east. It is scheduled for completion in April 2014, in accordance with the summer construction moratorium (Memorial Day to Labor Day). Because of the summer moratorium, construction must take place during the “height of tidal changes” LJSA chair Tim Lucas explained, and with the rainy season, three workdays are lost every two weeks, which could create delays. The Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement budget is $4.5 million, but covers planning and design in addition to construction.

Project 809 Project 809 will replace (or

The end of Avenida de la Playa west of camino del Oro (next to la Jolla shores hotel) will be closed for at least two months. Ashley MAckin install where needed), sewer and water pipes underneath streets in La Jolla Shores. Wherever possible, the pipeline replacement will be trenchless, Bassyouni said. Public works information officer Bill Harris explained the trenchless system at a previous LJSA meeting. He said for pipes that still have some integrity and minor thinning of the seams, “You can insert what amounts to a balloon and … there is an adhesive and sealant that goes around it and you inflate in place,” he said. “It offers a way to keep the pipe integrity and builds a strong extra layer. It opens that pipe up and

you get more life out of it without having to get into the ground along the entire length of the pipe.” Harris said in using this method, the street opening would be much smaller than traditional construction and add 50 years to the life of the pipe. However, trenchless does not mean there won’t be any trenches, Bassyouni said. Some section of pipes along Avenida de la Playa (between La Jolla Shores and Camino Del Sol) will be re-sloped and require trenching. He said that portion of work would not start until after Labor Day 2014.

Crews will work block by block to minimize parking and traffic impacts, and normal working hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but subject to change. The budget for this project is $10.5 million, encompassing planning, design and construction. All work west of La Jolla Shores Drive will pause during the summer moratorium. However, the work planned for the streets east of La Jolla Shores Drive is not affected by the construction moratorium, and crews will work during the summer on those streets. Taking the various timelines into account, the last stage of work should be completed in fall 2014.

Construction Timeline n Residents who wish to know which blocks will be under construction and when, can e-mail vic@vicsalazar.com to sign up for regular e-mail updates. However, construction engineer Steve Lindsay cautioned, in order to guarantee accuracy, they could only provide two-week projections. n Alternatively, visiting bit.ly/ project809updates allows those interested to enter their e-mail address to receive updates for Project 809 and the Infrastructure Replacement Project. u

Solar shines with financial, eco rewards for homeowners By Marti Gacioch With the abundance of free, available sunshine, a growing number of San Diego homeowners are earning financial and environmental rewards by choosing the solar electric (photovoltaic) industry as their energy provider, according to Martin Learn, president and founder of Home Energy Systems. “Installing a solar energy system in a home is an investment that will provide an immediate lowering of energy bills and will provide up to 30 years or more of lower energy costs for homeowners,” Learn said. Home Energy Systems, a full-service provider of photovoltaic energy products and systems, specializes in low-cost alternatives to utility power that include the sales, design, installation and monitoring of residential, commercial and governmental energy systems. It has designed and installed some 500 quality solar solutions in San Diego in the past 12 years. Learn, a seasoned expert in solar technology and NABCEP-certified (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners), said he lives 100 percent off the utility-grid, harnessing free energy from the sun. He has researched and promoted

With plummeting system costs, rising energy rates, 30 percent tax credits and newlyreinstated cash rebates, solar is a smart economic move for many San Diego property owners, according to representatives from home energy Systems. Courtesy renewable energy technologies for 32 years. When Learn opened his business, the cost of solar installation was much higher. But with module prices plummeting, efficiencies increasing, the bipartisan

passage of a 30 percent federal tax credit for solar installations and a new infusion of cash rebates via the California Solar Initiative to drive additional savings, the industry has seen tremendous solar growth,

Learn said. Toss in the benefits associated with fueling an electric vehicle with free solar energy and the savings continue. Remember, a watt of power generated today will be worth even more in five, 10 or 20 years. Energy prices aren’t going down, so solar investment return keeps going up. “I’ve seen demand for solar energy increase 30-50 percent nearly every year,” Learn said. But not all solar installers are created equal, according to Learn, who is dedicated to helping San Diegans realize their true solar potential. To him, that means educating homeowners on the questions to ask to identify properly-licensed professionals, who use the best quality solar products available to meet their needs. Find a list of questions he’s identified to help consumers find a qualified solar professional at hessolar.com/faqs “Solar products may look similar, but the quality and performance of today’s solar offerings can vary widely, with solar panel efficiencies ranging from 14 -21 percent,” Learn said.

New Pearl Street eatery offers authentic Mexican street food by pAt shermAn hen Orgtega’s Place Mexican restaurant closed after decades on Pearl Street, the owners of the adjacent Pizza on Pearl — both of Mexican descent — saw an opportunity to open an eatery serving authentic Mexican street tacos, basic with no frills. “We know what an authentic taco is,” said co-owner Gibran Fernandez. “We were always of the mind to bring that concept north. The Taco Stand mimics a real taco stand from Mexico.” All menu items are made from scratch daily, including the tortillas, guacamole and hot churros sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Other menu items include: flame grilled nopal (cactus) tacos with melted cheese, cilantro sauce, tomato and avocado; battered or grilled fish tacos; rotisserie marinated pork tacos with pineapple; grilled shrimp tacos

the taco stand co-owner Gibran Fernandez and manager Armando Córdova Pat Sherman

NEW BUSINESS REPORT with melted cheese, avocado, cabbage and chipotle sauce; and corn on the cob with parmesan, mayo and chili powder. Co-owner Aram Baloyan said the eatery’s niche is the tender Angus beef it uses in its tacos and burritos. “I can sincerely say that no taco shop has that quality of meat,” Baloyan boasted. “Even the supplier said, ‘Do you really want to serve that meat? It’s not cost effective,’ and I said, ‘yeah, yeah, I really do.’ What we don’t make on the meat itself we make on other products — and we get the best advertising, which is word of mouth, and that’s what we’ve been getting.” Baloyan said they don’t have to cut their meat into tiny pieces, like taco joints that use a cheaper grade. “It’s bigger, tastier, juicier,” he said.

To appeal to a wider variety of tastes, the Taco Stand offers some nontraditional items such as carne asada fries (also made with Angus beef), veggie tacos, a California burrito and a creamy cilantro-style salsa. The eatery also serves Mexican hot chocolate (perfect for the season), and fruit popsicles made fresh and delivered weekly with flavors from caramel to walnut, pistachio and spicy mango. Baloyan said patrons will soon be able to have tacos added to the delivery of any pie from Pizza on Pearl. “When they order a pizza and it’s ready to go, we just coordinate,” he said.

OUR READERS WRITE

Thanks for the memories I thought readers might like this picture I took at the La Jolla christmas Parade on dec. 8. I bumped into ron Jones, this morning, and he suggested I pass it on. my wife, Sheila, said, “Look! That float is just like the church!” and I starting snapping shots and came up with this one. We moved here three years ago, and love everyone we are meeting in this great community. To celebrate the christmas season, I was inspired to charter a 56-seat bus for a day trip from San diego to Pasadena to decorate floats for the New Year’s rose Parade! I met bill Walton in the Village a few months ago, and he introduced me to the challenged Athletes Foundation, so I am reserving seats for them along with my family and other client friends. Should be fun! We’re going to provide breakfast from the brick & bell, along with lunch and snacks along the way. Gregory J. Wright La JoLLa

Don’t let seals rule pool As a 50-plus year resident of La Jolla, I think what best exemplifies ellen browning Scripps’ reason for building the sea wall is shown in a picture within the dec. 12 “bottom Scratchers” article published in your paper. On page b16 there is a great shot showing two members of this club coming to shore with some white sea bass they had speared. In the background are children climbing on the sea wall, children climbing and jumping off the rocks protected by the seal wall, and children with their parents swimming in this area. This is what I remember as a child, and this is what ms. Scripps had in mind when she built this wall. It was not to have this beach over run with seals, and sea lions! It was to develop a safe location for humans to enjoy. As stated in other letters to the editor, there are hundreds of miles of california coastline, and many offshore islands for these mammals to live and breed on. We do not need to let them slowly over run and destroy this jewel of an area. Mark Albers La JoLLa

Re: Seals vs. People The absurd posturing of a few sanctimonious despoilers to promote the destruction of our

beloved and previously pristine beaches at the cove and casa by these marine Yahoos1 has turned La Jolla into a “wasted city” from the Jewel of the west coast that it once was. PeOPLe Are ALSO PArT OF NATUre! And we occupied the cove and casa long before the marine Yahoos invaded. How about the Garabaldi, a protected species, whose golden highlights I treasured while snorkeling in my youth along the coast? The invasion by the voracious seals, sea lions and cormorants is leading to the gradual decimation of these jewels in “our” part of the ocean. There are thousands of miles of unoccupied beaches and cliff locations up and down the west coast and offshore islands where seals, sea lions, cormorants, and other befouling denizens can sequester themselves without destroying the life of humans. The letter by a reader in the dec. 5 issue is typical of the twisted posturing of a few human Yahoos who do not use the beaches ... not for all of her family’s 51 years per her own admission. To claim that “statements” by another writer are “negatively affecting the La Jolla environment” is one of the most ill-guided comments on the topic that I’ve heard yet. The marine Yahoos are the ones destroying the La Jolla environment, and will continue section by section unless action is taken to eliminate the menace. To further claim that ms. Scripps “would have

endorsed their presence” is absurd. She had the sea wall built specifically to create an area clear of ocean waves ANd its denizens in order for children to have a safe place to enjoy. She wanted this little haven for cHILdreN and NOT as a breeding ground for marine Yahoos. These are OUr beaches! I have enjoyed The cove and The casa since I came from war-torn europe in 1945. These were the two safest and most delightful beaches on the whole west coast of the Americas for people, and particularly for children. denying the current generation and all future generations of children the joy and pleasure that we shared on these beaches is deplorable. many of The despoilers are not even residents of La Jolla and should have no say in how our city and its resources are maintained. They are INVAderS of the rights of citizens of La Jolla. When termites move into The despoilers’ domiciles, let us prohibit any form of extermination of the creatures. demand that The despoilers vacate their homes and allow the poor creatures to fester and thrive. Let’s take a poll of La Jolla residents as to what we want for The cove and casa. I’m convinced that the Houyhnhnms2 will prevail.

La Jollan wants to re-establish Charlotte Park La Jolla

Parks and Beaches

By Ashley MAckin When the La Jolla Parks and beaches, Inc. advisory group (LJP&b) submitted its list to the city with suggestions for projects to be included on the 2015 capital Improvements Projects list, it included a curious item called the charlotte Park development Plan. currently a canyon behind a private residence, charlotte Park was once a park at the end of charlotte Street, a “paper street” (a road or street that appears on some maps but does not actually exist). It is perpendicular to Torrey Pines road, leading to the bluff edge between Princess Street and coast Walk, across from Amalfi Street. LJP&b member melinda merryweather explained that since a fence was installed blocking off charlotte Street, the park space has eroded over the years, becoming a canyon overgrown with

CRIME REPORT

vegetation. The 2003 community Plan confirms, “Neither charlotte Park nor charlotte Street are accessible at the present time. Opportunities to link charlotte Street with coast Walk have been lost due to bluff erosion.” While there is no formal development plan, merryweather said she would like the charlotte Park development Plan to involve redeveloping the area, filling in the canyon, making it safe for public access and designating it as open space. charlotte Park appears on the Unfunded Park Improvements List of 2013 — a collection of improvements for properties maintained and operated by the San diego Park and recreation department — and has been carried over from previous year’s lists. The LJP&b is hoping some funding will be available for this project in 2015, and submitted its wish list to the La Jolla community Planning Association (cPA). From there, the cPA integrated the LJP&b suggestions into its recommendations (including developing charlotte Park), and submitted them to the city.

Having scratched the children’s Pool Walk project off her list (now that it’s been funded), merryweather said the charlotte Park project “has always been one of my babies.” One of the homes adjacent to the space is vacant, so merryweather wants to get the project moving before the next tenants move in. “Now that the house is going to have a new owner, things can change. I want to make sure we announce there is a street (and

park) there and that we are going to do something with it,” she said. Hoping to avoid public access issues after the fact, merryweather wants to establish the charlotte Park accessway as open space on the record before a homeowner is found, so when the home is purchased, there’s no question that the park space is there. A wire mesh fence backed by tarp currently blocks views to the ocean from Torrey Pines road.

merryweather said she would like to see the vegetation and the tarp cleared so there is an ocean view from Torrey Pines road. From there, her best-case scenario would be to fill the canyon in with dirt, install a walkway and set up picnic tables, creating another oceanview park space. “Any time we can create more areas where people can see and get to the ocean, it is our duty to do so,” she said. u

Howard Lee Ramstad 1944 – 2013

Howard Ramstad was born in San Diego, California, on February 22, 1944. He passed away unexpectedly November 17, 2013. Howard grew up in San Diego with a love for music, horses, and wildlife in the canyons of San Diego County. He played drums in the bands, “Fat Albert,” the “Mystics,” and with other various renowned musicians. During that time, he started his horse transportation business; traveling, driving, moving, and caring for those magnificent animals. He had a special love and way with animals that was on full display to his friends when

he nurtured a drowned ground squirrel back to life over a two day period. His superstar was his beloved canine companion, Char, by his side and always along for the ride. In the 70’s, he moved to Santa Barbara and spent many years making friends and hanging out with his buddy Joele, who later became the Godfather to his son, Cole. He stayed involved in the horse business and later owned a video store in Summerland. He was always ready with a smile, a joke, and time for conversation. He knew how to have and bring the fun. In later years, he moved back to San Diego and started driving once again. He was involved with an Airport Shuttle Service, getting people to and from their destination with that same engaging personality. Customers could not wait to get in his van to hear the latest Howard joke! His free spirit, sense of humor, and kind and outgoing nature will be missed by many friends, family, and loved ones. His enthusiasm and love of life inspired everyone around him. It could only

be matched by his uncanny ability to remember and tell a joke that had everyone laughing hysterically! The family and Howard are especially grateful for all the care and love his daughter, Dana, his son, David, and his friend, Greg Parker, provided him in his final days. We all miss and love him. He is preceded in death by his parents, John and Mildred Ramstad, and brother, Roger Ramstad. He is survived by his long time partner, Ryn; Barbara, the mother of his children David and Dana; JoMae, mother of his son, Cole; his grandchildren whom he loved dearly, Janae, Kief, Lily, Max, Shane and Bronson; his greatgrandchildren, Skylin, Ryder, Saylem, Saydee and Harlee; his sister-in-law, Sharon; nephews, John, Kenny and Doug; niece, Laura; son-in-law, Tim McGowan; daughter-in-law, Gina Ramstad; and the many nieces and nephews who love him dearly and will miss him. We are still waiting for the joke of the day – “IBRB!” (I’ll Be Right Back!) A celebration is to be held

on his birthday, February 22, 2014, in San Diego and the location is to be determined. Please call Dana (530) 3079884 if you are interested in attending. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

William Marshall Weston Hart “Bill” McKusick 1930 – 2013

Bill McKusick passed away Tuesday morning, November 19, 2013, in Flagstaff, AZ. Bill was born in Cass Lake, MN, on March 3, 1930, to Cecilia Hart and George A. McKusick. For many McKusick family members he was known as Uncle Bill

because he was adopted and raised by his paternal grandparents, Elizabeth and John Chester McKusick. Bill is survived by his daughter, Holly Ann McKusick, and grandson, Bear McKusick, who reside in Flagstaff, AZ; and his “brother”, Robert C. “Bob” McKusick. Included on the McKusick side of brothers and sisters are George “Bud” Healy, Thomas C. McIntyre, Brooke F. McKusick, Stephanie Mosley and Charles W. McKusick. Bill was renowned as a professional fixture at Shelter Island Chart House, San Diego, for more than three decades. He was one of the prominent early surfers in La Jolla and the Tijuana Sloughs in the 40s and 50s. “Woody” Ekstrom says he started surfing Windandsea in 1945. He was also quite well known in Sun Valley, Idaho, in the 50s for his skiing prowess and poker game. There will be a paddleout memorial scheduled at Windandsea in the spring of 2014.

Town Council elects trustees, divvies up dancing profit La Jolla Town Council By pat Sherman During its Dec. 12 meeting, La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) trustees elected five new board members, including Natasha Alexander, Courtney Hibbard, Ashley Mahmoudian, Alberto Ramirez and Richard Ticho. The new trustees, who begin two-year terms next month, fill vacancies left by departed trustees Deborah Arnau, Corrine Fleming, Egon Kafka, Sonia Marie Olivas and Greg Phillips. LJTC President Cindy Greatrex also announced that the LJTC’s Oct. 5 La Jolla Dancing with the Stars event at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines raised about $6,000 for its four chosen beneficiaries (after Las Patronas was paid for its organizational assistance). Event Chair Nancy Gardner, who was not in attendance, reported the event’s proceeds to the LJTC’s executive committee. During the meeting, trustees filled out ballots stating how much they felt each beneficiary should

receive. When ballots were tallied, it was announced that the La Jolla Town Council would receive 60 percent of proceeds, while 20 percent would go to the La Jolla Christmas Parade. The La Jolla Community Center, and Warriors and Quiet Waters will each receive 10 percent. “I think, considering that this is the first year of the event, any surplus is admirable,” Greatrex said.

In other Town Council news n Children’s Pool walk update: During a recap of the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project planned for Coast Boulevard (above Children’s Pool/Casa Beach), lead organizer Phyllis Minick recounted the project’s recent $200,000 donation by La Jollan Tom Morgan, as well as various contributions that made up the additional $50,000 initially required for the project. However, costs — first estimated to be $250,000 — are now $53,000 (or 20 percent) more, Minick said. “Surprisingly, in that same week, we got a letter from the San Diego Department of Park and Recreation, and they have designated, they say, $70,000 for repairing the Children’s Pool walk.” However, the allocation is pending approval by the San Diego

town Council president Cindy Greatrex (second from left) honors ann Kerr Bache with a plaque for her work as chair of the La Jolla Christmas parade and holiday Festival. “I couldn’t do what I’ve been doing for 16 years without my husband, tom (far left), and my son, David (far right),” she said. tom Bache is in charge of banners and David Bache is the event’s webmaster. Pat Sherman City Council, Minick said. “We don’t really know what will happen there, but if that should come to us that would make up the difference,” she said. Minick said some of the 25 grant proposals she has submitted for funding in the past three years are still outstanding. If the city council does not approve the $70,000 allocation, Minick said she is hopeful that one or more of her grant proposals will generate the difference.

n Guest speaker: Diane Salisbury, executive director of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, offered a presentation on her organization, formed in the Village in 1954. In its 59th season, the organization is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its choral director, David Chase. The symphony, which has been affiliated with the University of California San Diego since 1967,

performs its six-concert season at Mandeville Auditorium, which began in November. Its all-volunteer orchestra includes more than 200 musicians. “Many of them have advanced degrees (in music) but in their day jobs, some of them are oceanographers, physicists, doctors, lawyers, homemakers, butchers — just about everything,” Salisbury said. “It’s a wonderful group. They play for the love of it.” Each concert is performed twice — Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. “Part of our mission is affordable pricing,” Salisbury said. “The best seat in the house is just $29.” The organization opens 7 p.m. Friday night rehearsals to the public for free. “We usually get 80 to 100 people to show up for that,” Salisbury said. “It’s like being on the inside of a creative experience.” lajollasymphony.com n Planning group seeks volunteers: It was also noted that the La Jolla Community Planning Association is seeking new members for its organization, which advises the City of San Diego on development and land use issues in La Jolla. u — More information at lajollacpa.org

Chargers president Dean Spanos donates $500,000 to UCSD Athletic Center From UCSD reportS

Dean Spanos, chair of the board and president of the San Diego Chargers, has pledged $500,000 to UC San Diego to support a new Athletic Performance Center. The gift will support the expansion of the existing Alex G. Spanos Training Facility, located at the north end of campus. The revamped facility will be renamed the Alex G. Spanos Athletic Performance Center. The new center, overlooking Triton Track and Field Stadium, will include a strength and conditioning area, outdoor performance plaza, hydrotherapy room and more for student-athletes. Currently, strengthtraining equipment at UCSD’s Recreation, Intramural and Athletics Complex (RIMAC) is shared by the entire student body, with space at times reserved for student-athletes. The additional training space, thanks to the Spanos gift, will benefit all UCSD students with improved access to campus weighttraining equipment. Collectively, the Spanos family has made gifts totaling more than $1.6 million to UCSD Athletics. This represents the most any family or single donor has given to the intercollegiate sports program at UCSD. “We truly appreciate Dean Spanos’ generosity to UCSD Athletics. This gift represents a continuation of the Spanos family’s support which has spanned the decades,” UCSD Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla said. “This new facility will have a significant impact for our Triton student-athletes, as well as our

Dean Spanos (left) of La Jolla, is pictured with UCSD athletic Director earl edwards. erik JePSen/UCSD student body as a whole.” The family’s support of UCSD Athletics dates back as early as 1976. For many years, the San Diego Chargers had an annual agreement to use UCSD as a training camp. In 1988, then Chargers owner and Dean Spanos’ father, Alex Spanos, offered to construct and donate a locker room and training facility in the north campus recreation area — an in-kind donation that was valued at $1.1 million. In recognition of his generosity, UC Regents approved the naming of the Alex G. Spanos Training Facility that same year. “I’m proud to be able to support UCSD

rendering of the alex G. Spanos athletic performance Center.

Athletics and the university where our family, the Chargers and Chargers fans have so many great memories,” Spanos said. “The donation will continue my father’s legacy of giving to the university while helping to provide an athletic experience on par with the school’s first-class academic experience.” With Dean Spanos’ wishes, the new center will be known as the Alex G. Spanos Athletic Performance Center, in honor of his dad. Bassyouni said, “We are truly grateful for the Spanos family’s generosity in supporting UCSD Athletics throughout the decades,” Earl W. Edwards, UCSD director of athletics, said. “This new center will be a state-of-the-

art training facility that will help ensure that our Triton student-athletes reach their full potential.” UCSD Athletics is consistently ranked as the top NCAA Division II program in the nation according to the National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA) Power Rankings. More than 600 student-athletes compete in 23 men’s and women’s sports. UCSD has garnered 30 national championships in eight different team sports and 136 individual national championships. u — To learn more, visit givetoathletics.ucsd.edu

Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lose early lead, end in tie against Kearny, 3-3 By Ed PiPEr The bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School boys soccer team jumped out to an early 2-0 lead over visiting Kearny and seemed well on the way to victory dec. 10. but such are the fortunes and unpredictability of high school sports that the Kearny Komets scored three straight goals in a nine-minute span to start the second half, and forced the bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Knights to settle for a 3-3 tie in a non-league encounter. Freshman midfielder carlo Tridenti started things off for bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with a header from straight in front of the net in about the 20th minute of play. (High school teams play two 40-minute halves.) Fellow freshman Tanner coleman followed about 14 minutes later, with six minutes left in the first half. His kick came off a ball that rolled toward him on the left in front of the goal after players from both teams, including the Kearny goalie, went up in the air to try to head the ball. coleman took advantage of the open goal to score. coleman, playing left midfielder, recalled of his goal: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goalie was next to me. I kicked it to his right.â&#x20AC;? Tanner, 15, commented on the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first half success, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We

great group. Although we came up short this season, there is no other team out there I would rather coach than those 13 girls.” Colleen Mellinger and Taylor Mohrdardt made it to the CIF Individual Doubles Finals. u

That’s how they scored.” Bishop’s coach Malcolm Tovey said: “The beginning of the second half, we started some of the younger players to get them some experience. It’s a non-league game, so it’s not as if the result matters as much. We’re trying to integrate them into the squad, because you don’t win a CIF championship with a team. You win it with a squad. And they’ve (subs) got to be able to play. “Unfortunately, Kearny started out really brightly (in the second half). We made a couple of mistakes. It turned around from being up two to being down 3-2. “I give my guys a lot of credit. We then reasserted ourselves, changed our formation, changed the way we played, and they really didn’t get out of their half (of the field) the last 25 minutes. “So overall, if it was a boxing match, we would have won on points. But I’m glad we didn’t lose the game.” Tovey singled out defender Alleyne for his work: “I think Chris is such a dominant force, whether he plays in the back or in midfield. Wherever you play him, he always instigates something and makes something happen. We call him the ‘Iron Lung’ because he can run forever.” Tovey, with his delightful Bristol, england accent, said he has been Bishop’s coach for “16 or 17 years.” Of the season’s outlook as a whole, Brutten, 18, in his fourth year on varsity, said: “We think we’ll have a good run in CIF. Last year we went to the semifinals and lost to Coronado, 0-1. We hope we can get to the same spot this year. It’ll be tough because we lost a lot of good seniors (10). But everyone lost students. So I think we should be on the same playing field.” Tovey applauded the play of his four captains so far this season: “Matt Healey, Ian Caples, Brutten (all seniors), and Alleyne are all having outstanding seasons and providing excellent leadership to their peers.” u

Ann Romney speaks at Holiday Tea benefit for medical research By Kristina HoucK s a breast cancer survivor who was also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, part-time La Jolla resident Ann Romney, wife of presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, has become a health advocate. She and her family recently returned from a mission trip to Peru, where they worked with eye doctors to conduct vision screenings in remote villages in the Andes. In support of breast cancer and vision research, she gave the keynote address Dec. 9 at a fundraiser tea at The Grand Del Mar. “It’s an extraordinary thing to see how none of us really escape a lot of ann romney pain when we live on this Earth,” Romney told the crowd at the “Visions of Success: From Research to Reality.” Romney made a short speech and was later interviewed by Channel 10 news anchor Bill Griffith, who co-emceed the event with fellow anchor Kimberly Hunt. Griffith and La Jollan Susie Spanos, both breast cancer survivors, also served as honorary chairs of the event. Susie is the wife of San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos. Romney attended the event with one of her five sons, as well as two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters. She said her family supported her through her cancer battle in 2008, as well as her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 1998. “Life is so precious,” Romney said, acknowledging the tough times. “You really feel like it might just get ripped out from underneath you. You realize how much you want to hang onto life and how you want to hang onto moments. You realize what’s important in life.” Rancho Sante Fe resident Vivian Hardage and Wanda Garner served as co-chairs of the event, which was hosted by The Vision of Children Foundation. Hardage and her husband, Samuel Hardage, established the foundation in 1991, after their son was diagnosed with ocular albinism, a genetic vision disorder. The organization funds research to cure hereditary childhood blindness and other vision disorders. As a three-time breast cancer survivor, Hardage is also an advocate for breast cancer research. “I am grateful for each new day,” Hardage said. “I tell my story to pretty much anyone who will listen. In doing so, I hope people will understand the critical need for medical research for both breast cancer and vision disorders. It has become my passion, and in my mind, my reason for still being here. My vision of success is translating research into reality.” Romney praised the couple for their efforts.

Let Inga Tell You

Imagining Amazon delivery drones in La Jolla

La Jolla Cultural Partners

mazon CEO Jeff Bezos recently announced that within four to five years, Amazon packages weighing five pounds or less and being delivered less than 10 miles from a distribution center could be delivered aerially by drones, all within 30 minutes of ordering. Even Bezos conceded that there were definitely kinks to work out with the new vehicles, like making sure they didn’t land on someone’s head. I was intrigued by the demonstration video, and given that the U.S. Postal Service hasn’t been able to find my house after 66 years, even enthusiastic. But I also think La Jolla would have some unique difficulties with this technology. First, our community consists of a fourmile strip of land running along the coast where there is already some pretty crowded low-flying air traffic in the form of INS, police, and local military base helicopters, not to mention the occasional golf tournament blimp. But the real competition for delivery drone air space would, of course, be sea birds. Hundreds of pelicans endlessly cruise the coastal air currents over our homes, never mind the ever-present sea gulls who are always on the lookout for picnic leftovers. How happy would they be with a

perceived competitor for pizza crusts? And who would prevail in a gull-drone encounter of the worst kind? Would the drone (with assorted gull parts) come crashing through someone’s roof? Would the affected homeowner at least get to keep the Amazon item? These are details Amazon may not have thought through. But unlike the birds, at least the drone wouldn’t poop on people’s patios. Another issue that Amazon may encounter in La Jolla is that the locals are very big on security. Think of all the La Jolla bastions with gated entrances that require delivery people to be buzzed in. How do you buzz in a drone? It had better not even THINK of landing its four little legs inside the gate unannounced. Even in less fortress-y homes, La Jollans are nothing if not picky about delivery instructions. Amazon would be well advised to seek guidance from the longsuffering newspaper delivery folks or risk the wrath of messages like this: “Your drone dropped my package in the driveway where my wife ran over it with the Lexus. Please re-send ASAP and this time leave it on the second step of the front porch, AWAY from the sprinklers and

Guests can dine outside in Monello’s sidewalk patio or inside the dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a modern-contemporary design.

Get a taste of Milan in Little Italy’s Monello By Kelley Carlson encotto’s “naughty little brother” is growing up. Monello has made a name for itself since opening next door to its older “sibling” in Little Italy in 2012, already earning accolades from patrons and food critics. “San Diego has shown interest and passion for Milanese food culture,” co-owner Valentina Di Pietro said in a news release. The eatery showcases a slice of the Italian lifestyle — it’s sophisticated, yet still casual and relaxed. With no pressure to hurry through a meal, guests can bask in the sunshine that passes through the floor-toceiling windows, or find seclusion in a banquette, while listening to lounge music. A patio provides views of tree-lined Fir Street and nearby San Diego Bay. As night falls, spotlights softly emphasize each table, along with depictions of the Duomo di Milano cathedral along the walls. The bar’s specialty is the Sweet Vermouth, a 27-ingredient creation by mixologist Jennifer Queen. The exact components of the concoction are kept secret, but they do involve roots, bark, botanicals and herbs, and there are hints of cinnamon and citrus. Visitors can also be tempted by the Panini al Latte (stuffed mini bites) displayed at the end of the bar. These light sandwiches consist of simple-yet-satisfying combinations such as San Daniele prosciutto and mozzarella, and mortadella with provolone cheese that is slightly melted. Providing further allure are the pasticceria (pastries): There’s Cornetti, akin to a sweet croissant that’s dusted with sugars and contains fillings such as pistachio; and the Bomboloni, a doughnut filled with custard or whipped cream. The inspiration behind Monello can be seen

The Frittata Monello is filled with parma prosciutto, fontina and zucchini.

Polenta e Uova is made with two sunnyside-up eggs over mortadella, yellow cornmeal polenta and fontina.

n This week’s recipe:

Monello’s Pasticcio (Bread casserole with vegetables and Parmesan sauce) in the hallway around the corner from the bar, where there are images of Italian street scenes and a quote by Giuseppe Verde: “You may have the Universe. If I may have Italy.” Those who come on the weekends can start their day with the Farmer’s Brunch. Monello acquires ingredients from the Little Italy Mercado and incorporates them into dishes such as the pesto-covered Monello Eggs Benedict; Frittata Monello filled with parma prosciutto, fontina and zucchini; Polenta e Uova with two sunny-side-up eggs over mortadella, yellow cornmeal polenta and fontina; and Pasticcio, a bread casserole with kale, onions and parmesan sauce. Guido Nistri, who co-owns Monello with his wife, said his favorite item is the Brunch Pizza with toppings of sunny-side-up eggs, bacon, spinach and cheese sauce on a house-made crust. Patrons who arrive for lunch often choose the toasted paninis with filling choices, such as grilled zucchini, eggplant, speck and grilled jidori chicken. The sandwiches are

A traditional Milanese aperitivo awaits customers 4-7 p.m. With each cocktail comes three to four complimentary small bites from the menu or by the whim of Executive Chef Fabrizio Cavallini. Occasionally, Cavallini introduces new creations in an effort to gather feedback for future menu items. These “piattini” rotate daily, and on a recent visit, they included Porcini Mushroom Crepes, Grilled Octopus, and Grilled Zucchini with Mint Aioli. Aperitivo gradually turns into the dinner, which offers more hearty selections. There’s an array of choices, including polenta, flatbreads, spaghetti, fried foods, vegetable plates, roasted meats and seafoods, and thin-crust pizzas.

mike glancy and his businesses, moonglow Design and erling rohde Plumbing Company, created this float for a past la Jolla Christmas Parade. The float was inspired by both the Bird rock locale and characters from Dr. seuss books. From moonglow Design, B1 What many people don’t see at first when they drive by is Glancy’s other business, also located in the building — the Erling Rohde Plumbing Company. The plumbing business was founded in the early 1900s by Glancy’s maternal grandfather and great uncle in downtown San Diego. Eager to move to a quieter area, the brothers relocated to La Jolla in 1910. According to Glancy, it is one of

the oldest companies in La Jolla and has been listed in the La Jolla Blue Book since 1937. First located in the Arcade Building, the business moved to several other buildings on Girard Avenue throughout the years. Glancy started working for the company in the 1970s after a stint in Vietnam and going through a five-year union training program. “I always knew I was going to be a plumber,” he said. Although he grew up in La Mesa, he was an avid surfer and

enjoyed combining work with catching a few waves at WindanSea. He also attended San Diego State University on the GI Bill, studying philosophy, art and aesthetics, his favorite class. He especially enjoyed traveling through Europe with his wife and bringing back photographs of famous works of art and architecture to share with his class. Although not an artist himself, Glancy appreciates creativity and enjoys helping artists.

“Art is a tough way to make a living,” he said. His idea for an art gallery started to grow before he moved to Bird Rock, while still on Girard Avenue. “I got more into selling high-end kitchen designs in my plumbing showroom,” he said. “We featured several glass artists. Their etched glass went into windows, shower doors, decorations in homes, restaurants and even hotels, like the Hotel Del Coronado.” He also featured another artist who painted and glazed ceramic

sinks and faucet handles. When Glancy had a chance to move his plumbing business to its current location in 1993, he realized the building on La Jolla Boulevard was perfect for both the business and a gallery — full of rooms and nooks and crannies to display art. “I cut out some walls and put in the etched glass,” he said. Recently, one of his three daughters joined the plumbing business, so the gallery can be open to the public more hours. u

ix students from The Children’s School visited the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla Dec. 3 to deliver 19 handmade beanie hats for the babies there. The students made the hats in second-grade teacher Vanessa Abisror’s after-school knitting class, “Connect the Knots, Connect the Dots.” The backstory is charming. When The Children’s School’s development director Laura Lavoie heard about the class, she “audited” it to learn how to knit hats to donate to the NICU to show her appreciation for the dedication of its staff. In May 2012, her son, Luke, was born nine weeks prematurely at the hospital and lived for 37 days in the NICU, which is a Level 2 nursery operated by Rady Children’s Hospital. Coincidentally, one of the students in the class, Lillian Wegner, was also born prematurely and also delivered by Luke’s doctor, Dr. Casey Wang. When the young knitters learned why Lavoie was taking their class, they asked if they could also make hats for the babies. After seven hour-long after-school sessions, the children and their teachers had knit 19 beanies to donate.

true or false? Eggnog is a sweetened dairy-based beverage made with milk and/or cream, sugar and whipped eggs (which gives it a frothy texture). Brandy, rum, whisky, bourbon, vodka or a combination of liquors are often added. The finished serving is garnished with a sprinkling of cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin spice. True. Furthermore, kitchen records from Mount Vernon indicate that George Washington served an eggnog-like drink to his visitors, and since the general wasn’t strapped for cash, he didn’t skimp on the sauce. Washington’s potent recipe included three different types of booze: rye whiskey, rum and sherry. Nobody could tell a lie after having a few cups of that. — mentalfloss.com and wikipedia

Rose Creek public art mural unveiled in Pacific Beach

he new Rose Creek Community Mural in Pacific Beach, painted by participants at the inaugural Rose Creek Fest in February, was unveiled last week at a ceremony at the Mike Gotch Memorial Bridge, which spans the creek near its delta on Mission Bay. Installed behind handball courts at Mission Bay High School, the public artwork is best viewed from the bike and pedestrian bridge that links a paved path encircling Mission Bay. The mural was created on 15 wooden panels, each measuring 4 by 8 feet, for a total length of 40 feet and a height of 12 feet. Local artist Thom Guerra designed the mural in a “paint by number” process so that Rose Creek Fest participants could simply paint inside the lines to create the cohesive image. San Diego EarthWorks provided the materials. Campland on the Bay donated the cost of construction and the labor to create easels for painting, as well as the final design and installation. Friends of Rose Creek provided logistical support. “Although hundreds of thousands of people live, work and play along Rose Creek and its urban canyons, many don’t realize that it also provides a haven for local wildlife ranging from hawks to herons,” said Karin Zirk, founder of Friends of Rose Creek. “The creek serves as a natural corridor and has been connecting this area’s communities since the Spanish first wrote about the tribes of the Kumeyaay Nation living along its banks.” Learn more about the project at rosecreekwatershed.org

The mural, 12 by 40 feet, is an illustration depicting the natural environs of Rose Creek, which flows for 16 miles from Miramar to Mission Bay. Courtesy

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

eppetto’s Toy Store owner Brian Miller released his list of the Top Toys for 2013. It’s no surprise that they lean toward the hottest trend in the industry — toys that focus on imaginative play, construction and engineering. “With the increased presence of technology in our children’s lives, it is more important than ever to balance screen time with play and imagination time,” Miller said. “Toy companies have really upped the ante when it comes to the quality and build of products on the market.” Miller has owned and operated Geppetto’s Toys, with nine locations in San Diego, since 1992.

ARTS awarded $10,000 matching grant by Matt and Nancy Browar ARTS, “A Reason To Survive,” a San Diego-based organization that provides, supports and advocates for art programs that heal, inspire and empower youth facing adversity, has been awarded a $10,000 matching grant by Matt and Nancy Browar of La Jolla. The Browars will match all donations made through Dec. 31, up to $10,000 resulting in a $20,000 donation, to support ARTS programs and allow ARTS to reach more children in the new year. Matt Browar is the chair of the Murals of La Jolla art advisory committee, a public art project that installs murals across La Jolla, under the umbrella of the La Jolla Community Foundation. “We are honored to receive this generous matching grant from the Browars,” said Matt D’Arrigo, founder and CEO of ARTS. “With this donation along with the donations from the San

Diego community, we will be able to help many more children that are in need of a place to escape and bring forth their creativity through art.” He also emphasized the impact could be doubled because of the matching nature of the grant. For information, visit areasontosurvive.org

LA JOLLA LIGHT - DECEMBER 19, 2013 - Page B23

Two local artists exhibit at Coffee Roasters cafe

ird Rock Coffee Roasters Music & Art Cooperative is featuring the works of photographer Pearl Preis and abstract painter Kerry Riche throughout December. n Pearl Preis, a mother of three, has the unique ability to capture the essence of her subject matter through the lens of her camera and transform it into dramatic fine art. Her work is in the Bird Rock Community Council newsletter and on its website, and in the La Jolla Light, where she has helped create a positive stream of visuals to reflect the community for all to enjoy. Preis of Short2000 Photography was born in Quezon City, Philippines, and grew up on the island of Guam, where she first gained attention for her artistic talents. As the daughter of Guam’s most prominent cultural artist, Salvador Bidaure, she was exposed to a myriad of styles and

Photographer Pearl Preis

techniques at an early age. She said she draws from her father’s lessons to this day. Preis graduated from the Connecticut Institute of Art with a degree in commercial art. After re-locating to the Pacific Beach area in 1992, she has focused her lens on all things local. n Artist Kerry Riche resides in La Jolla, but grew up on the East Coast. Her experiences in these different locations, coupled with the many vacations she spent living in France, have enabled her to appreciate the arts of the three different cultures. Riche uses heavy acrylics and cement to create her abstracts, which capture life and energy. While her techniques display her whimsical side, the sense of reality in her work is readily embraced. Riche’s work is exhibited throughout San Diego, Aspen and the East Coast. — Jane Wheeler

Tipsy No-Bake Fruitcake Balls

Catharine L. Kaufman

Some naughty Noel noshes

hristmas brings a bounty of seasonal goodies to our tables from the much-lampooned fruitcake to close cousins of stollen and panettone. Here’s a decadent sampling of traditional holiday favorites from fruit to nuts.

The edible paperweight

“There is only one fruitcake in the entire world, and people keep sending it to each other.” — Johnny Carson

indulgence. Today fruitcake has become deeply ensconced in our Christmas culture, razzed for its doorstop density and lengthy shelf life, so it can be re-gifted the following Christmas. All kidding aside, the next generation of fruitcake (no longer your grandmother’s version) is lighter, fresher and healthier with honey and sucanat instead of white sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, whole wheat pastry flour rather than refined white, and dried and fresh fruits, including cherries, dates, pineapple, plums and apricots trumping syrupy preserved neon nuggets. Grandma also didn’t have fair trade organic rum to dial up her fruitcake.

Food historians trace the origins of fruitcake to ancient Egypt where relatives were believed to place the dense, nutrient-rich treat on the tombs of their dearly departed for nourishment in the afterlife. The Romans honed the Toni’s treat recipe adding pomegranate Panettone is Italy’s seeds, pine nuts and barley airier, virgin riff on mash, sending the portable fruitcake in the form of a fortification with soldiers off cylindrical cupola-shaped to battle. ViLLage miLL Bread Company sweet bread. Many versions Over the centuries, the of this Christmas cake contain candied fruitcake recipe was tweaked to include orange and lemon peel, dried cranberries preserved Mediterranean fruits, luxurious and bittersweet chocolate chunks. spices and alcohol, creating a high-octane

• 1/2 cup brandy, rum or sherry • 1/2 cup unsalted butter • 1/2 cup honey • 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots • 1 cup chopped dates • 1/2 cup golden raisins • 1/2 cup dried cherries • 1/2 cup dried pineapple, chopped

• 1 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped • 1/2 teaspoon each orange and lemon zest • 1 teaspoon almond extract • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg • 1 cup almond meal • 3 to 4 cups crushed gingersnaps, vanilla wafers or Graham crackers

n Method: Soak fruit in liquor until moist and soft. (Overnight is best). Drain. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and add honey, beating until light and fluffy. Add fruits, nuts, zests, extract and spices, mixing well. Blend cookie crumbs until desired consistency is reached. Form into balls and coat with almond meal. Refrigerate in airtight container. The panettone is also swathed in romanticism with a 15th century Milanese legend about Ughetto Atellani, a nobleman who fell in love with Adalgisa, the daughter of a poor baker named Toni. To help her father’s struggling bakery business (and spend more time with his sweetie), Ughetto disguised himself as a baker boy working in Toni’s kitchen. Selling his prized falcons to earn money for costly ingredients, he bought butter, raisins and candied citron, and whipped up an concoction to outshine the competition. His devotion to Adalgisa earned him marital blessings by the Duke of Milan. Their extravagant wedding with such notable guests as Leonardo da Vinci, also served the new fruity cake dubbed, “Pan de Toni” — the bread of Toni.

Almond Joy

Marzipan, the quintessential Christmas

confection, is a scrumptious blend of almond meal or paste, confectioner’s sugar or honey and almond oil. No one country lays a solid claim to its creation, although Toledo in central Spain, which is full of almond trees, is a logical birthplace. In Europe the making of marzipan is strictly governed by a body of laws, for example, almonds must comprise no less than 50 percent of the total weight.

Log On

A German hybrid of fruitcake, panettone and marzipan is the stollen log, aka Christstollen with a motherload of dried fruits and nuts, orange and lemon zest, cinnamon and cardamom. It is light in texture and low in sugar, although traditionally dusted with powdered sugar. u For additional holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

raveling by limousine from the St. Vincent de Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility for homeless children to the rooftop of La Jolla Cove Suites, Dec. 6, kids of all ages were treated to pizza, music, dancing and a meet-and-greet with San Diego Padresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mascot, The Friar. The kids got an escort from the San Diego Harley Owners Group (HOGs), who also provided an extra toy for each child. Once Santa Claus arrived, he gave toys to everyone, while Cove Suites owner and party host Krista Baroudi looked on in happiness.

The San Diego Padres Friar plays cards with guests.

Santa is excited to see 12-year-old Sebastian.
