Merchants ready Information Center for Jan. 2 opening By Pat Sherman The new La Jolla Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. won’t just be a place for tourists to stumble into with questions about souvenirs and harbor seals. It will also be a place where the community can learn about Spike and Mike’s Festival of Animation’s upcoming 30th anniversary celebration or charitable opportunities, such as a police storefront renovation or the Children’s Pool Sidewalk Beautification Project, said La Jolla Merchants Association (LJVMA) Board President Phil Coller at the group’s Dec. 12 meeting. “We’d love to help you promote your event,” Coller told Spike & Mike co-founder Craig “Spike” Decker. “We think it’s a great thing for La Jolla.” The festival, Feb. 9 to March 22 at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street, will include 11 days of screenings and early works by Disney•Pixar directors John Lasseter (“Toy Story,” “Cars”) and Andrew Stanton (“Finding Nemo”).

La Jolla unified once more in City Council District 1
La Jolla-centered gift ideas for the civic minded, B1
By Pat Sherman District 1 City Council representative Sherri Lightner began her second term Dec. 3 — the same day the Southeast corner of La Jolla transitioned from District 2 to District 1, effectively reunifying La Jolla as one constituency. “I look forward to representing the whole of La Jolla for the next four years and thank the community for their tireless work to ensure that all of La Jolla was included in District 1 as part of last year’s redistricting process,” Lightner said.
Bird Rock resident and land use expert Joe LaCava attended a litany of redistricting commission hearings that began in April 2011, to assure the entirety of La Jolla and University City Joe were included in his LaCava district. The commission had the final say on boundaries for the new City Council districts — which included the creation of a ninth district, as mandated by the
city’s strong mayor form of government. LaCava drew up plans for what became known as the “Coast and Canyons” map of District 1 — boundaries that received so little Sherri resistance from the Lightner judicially appointed commissioners that they were the first to be approved. “I went and met with anybody that would listen to me — planning
groups, town councils, a couple of rotary groups, and then I went to every single redistricting commission hearing and made our case,” LaCava said. “We said, ‘You guys can carve up the rest of the city any way you think is best, but we want to define the new District 1.’” To LaCava, reunifying La Jolla — which was split in the redistricting process of 2000 — made perfect sense. “It just makes it easier,” he said. “If you have a project or entity that

Town Council signs lease for more affordable offices n Trustee Pourteymour helps fund overpass ‘Seasons Greetings’ sign By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) will be moving its office from Herschel Avenue to more affordable digs at 1150 Silverado St. — thanks to the negotiating prowess of its treasurer, Realtor Yolanda de Riquer. During the LJTC’s December meeting, First Vice President Steve Haskins said the rent on the new space would be about a third of what the organization currently pays. “This is going to put us in a whole new financial situation having this office,” Haskins said. “It’s $400 a month and that includes telephone, long distance, wireless, a receptionist, everything.” The LJTC was scheduled to begin moving this week.

Other Town Council news n Seasons Greetings sign: Trustee Egon Kafka noted that the “Seasons Greetings” sign spelled in lights that usually graces the pedestrian bridge over Torrey Pines Road would not likely go up this year without an “angel” to pay for it. “It wouldn’t be appropriate to try and squeeze the same (Christmas parade) donors,” Kafka said. By the end of the meeting, newly installed LJTC trustee Ramin Pourteymour had pledged to be that angel, giving $1,100 to install the sign.
Here’s a shout-out to some of those responsible for the sensational holiday sights around town this month: 1. La Jolla Recreation Center staff decorated the tree on the property at 615 Prospect St., adorning it with oversized Christmas ornaments for all to see. 2. Billed as the “biggest cross in San Diego County,” the Kholi family of Bird Rock had this 65-foot tall, 5,000-bulb cross installed on their Sea Ridge Drive lawn. The cross is affixed to a palm tree. Workers had to use mountain climbing gear to reach the tree’s peak. 3. Homegrown Meats butcher shop on Fay Avenue got into the spirt, adorning mounted deer, moose and boar heads with holiday lights.

The newly reconfigured City Council District 1 (in dark blue) includes the entirety of La Jolla. Courtesy City Clerk
FROM DISTRICT 1, A1 crosses district boundaries, then you’ve got to get two council members to coordinate and work together. Council members, just by their nature, like to do their own thing, set their own agenda, and pursue their own way of solving problems. When you split the community up, things can happen slower and less efficiently.” LaCava said the newly reunified portion of La Jolla, which includes the southern part of Mount Soledad and a sliver of Bird Rock, is comprised of quiet, mature neighborhoods that are largely devoid of redevelopment and commerce. Lightner, who spoke in opposition to the division of La Jolla at redistricting commission hearings in 2000, told the Light that during her first term she did not neglect the District 2 portion of La Jolla. She said she worked closely with District 2 council member Kevin Faulconer on issues affecting their adjacent constituencies, which included the Mount Soledad landslide and a ban on alcohol at Kate O. Sessions Park. “I have always recognized that I represent La Jolla, and if they had serious issues I would take them to Mr. Faulconer’s
office to be addressed,” she said. “Now, (those issues) will just stay with us.” At the beginning of the redistricting process, LaCava noted, there was a concern that University City would be split in half, and that all of La Jolla might be placed in District 2. “Some of the arguments used were (that) La Jolla and Pacific Beach are both older coastal communities and kind of share those problems that older communities have,” LaCava said. When San Diego’s population was much smaller, District 1 stretched east to include Rancho Bernardo. During last year’s redistricting, that boundary moved further west, and the district lost Rancho Peñasquitos. LaCava said the loss was inevitable, given that District 1 experienced the greatest population growth in the city during the past decade, due to a spike in new residential development in areas such as Carmel Valley, Torrey Hills and Pacific Highlands Ranch. Barring any dramatic changes, LaCava said, the configuration of District 1 should remain stable for the foreseeable future. “Most of those areas are built out. We won’t see any explosive growth in the next 10 or 20 years.”
Mayor promises more monitoring at Children’s Pool By Pat Sherman San Diego Mayor Bob Filner made his position on the seals at Children’s Pool beach known Saturday morning, during a visit just hours after city workers reinstalled the pupping season guideline rope. Filner said he believes the rope, intended as a barrier to keep humans a safe distance from seals, should be up year-round — not just during the seal’s pupping season, Dec. 15 to May 15. “The rope is something that’s been a long time coming,” Filner said. “It should be year-round and we ought to figure out how to do that, respecting all the wishes of the community.” Filner also said he would order more resources to staff a park ranger at Children’s Pool from “dusk to dawn,” seven days a week — by year’s end. Currently, Park Ranger Richard Belesky monitors Children’s Pool beach from about 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. “We have the rope up; it should not be violated, and we’re going to have a ranger present for all the daylight hours to make sure that we enforce that,” Filner said.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner spoke with the media and members of the La Jolla Friends of the Seals on Dec. 15. PAT SHERMAN FROM CHILDREN’s POOL, A4 “Tourists come here all the time just to see the seals, and I think we ought to be protecting them (seals) and showing some respect and some love. It’s good for our ecology, but it’s good for our tourism also. We’re going to do whatever we can to make sure that this is a (marine) mammal preserve.” Asked what he would do to satisfy divers and beach access proponents who don’t want the rope up year-round, Filner told the La Jolla Light, “I understand that there are two points of view … but my observations, personally, are that without a rope people harass the seals. They come here to do that. … I think if we left it to the local people everything would be just fine. … I don’t think it’s the local people who are the problem. … I trust them. I think it’s the outside people.” Filner also assured that the rope would be increased from its current length of 130 feet to 152 feet, as was the intent of the San Diego City Council and the California Coastal Commission when voting for a yearround rope. The city previously approved a coastal development permit for a 130-foot rope barrier with a 3-foot opening along the east
wall for divers and spear fishermen to access the water during pupping season. However, 130 feet was a miscalculation by city staff. The rope should be 152 feet. As the guideline rope stands, it leaves about a 25-foot opening. Seal advocate Jane Reldan said the 25-foot gap is large enough that some visitors do not see the rope or informational signage posted on the support posts. “People think it’s an open invitation to go down to the waterline because they don’t know better,” Reldan said. “I was hoping that the city would correct its own error.” Longtime La Jollan Howard Zatkin, who viewed the seals Saturday morning from behind the rope with wife, Christy, and young grandson, Axel, said he does not favor the rope barrier in winter or summer, but feels the pupping season rope is a “nice compromise.” “I don’t like the rope idea because (the seals) are not an endangered species,” he said. “I just think it’s too much restriction.” Mark Pretorius, who recently moved to La Jolla from San Francisco, said he has seen seals take over Northern California beaches and bays and thinks the city should be careful not to encourage colonization. “They’ll move on eventually,” Pretorius said.

Critics: ‘Windemere’ demolished without proper permit By Pat Sherman Members of La Jolla’s Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) say the city should have required the owner of a property where Irving Gill’s “Windemere” cottage once stood to obtain a coastal development permit before demolishing Windemere last December. During the DPR’s Dec. 11 meeting, the committee voted unanimously that findings could not be made for a
coastal development permit the property owner is seeking to build a two-story, 4,918-square-foot replacement structure on his parcel. The committee found that the proposed project did not comply with a municipal code requirement that all demolition in a coastal zone requires a coastal development permit. Historic preservationists and some community members are upset that the city

instead issued the property owner, Frank Bottini, a sameday emergency demolition permit to dismantle what they say was arguably the state’s oldest example of Craftsman-style architecture. The demolition at 1328 Virginia Way occurred while the California Office of Historic Preservation was in the process of considering a historic designation for Windemere. “This applicant did have options,” said La Jolla attorney Courtney Coyle, who spoke during the meeting. Coyle said Bottini could have purchased another property in La Jolla that was closer to the French aesthetic he desired, or continued working with the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) to move Windemere to its Prospect Street headquarters. Coyle said Bottini’s action showed a “disregard for the values of the community — and the community cares about history.” During the DPR meeting, committee members also questioned whether the property owner engaged in “project segmentation,” in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), for not initially disclosing an intent to rebuild on the site. According to “A CEQA Primer” by Keith Sugar, development project descriptions must include all relevant aspects of a project, including future development. “The danger of segmentation is that it chops projects into smaller bits, which standing alone, may not present the full range and intensity of adverse impacts resulting from the entire project,” Sugar writes. Project manager Laura Black, with the city’s Development Services Department, maintained that there had been “no project segmentation pursuant to CEQA.”

Photos by Pat Sherman In September 2011, the city’s Historical Resources Board declined to grant Windemere historic designation, saying the property had suffered a loss of integrity. However, preservationists contend that Bottini, acting on the guidance of historian and attorney Scott Moomjian, removed or altered character-defining features of the property, such as windows, eaves and accompanying hinges that destabilized the building and diminished its historicity. Speaking at the DPR meeting, Moomjian also maintained that there had been no segmentation, adding that the property owner

only decided to develop the property after the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) declined to deem Windemere historic. Addressing the DRP meeting attendees, Coyle said the property was a prime example of “demolition by neglect.” Coyle, a CEQA expert who lives in the vicinity of the former ‘Windemere’ site, said Bottini had left a second-story window open and banging in the breeze for months. Former LJHS Director John Bolthouse and board President Tom Grunow were in discussions with Bottini about relocation prior to its demolition, she noted. “That gave me hope that there was a way to work this through,” Coyle said. Representatives from the LJHS and the Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) said Moomjian suppressed much of the contents of a historic report prepared by San Diego-based Legacy 106 during the HRB hearing. When the report’s author, Ron May, attempted to publish the report on his blog, Bottini threatened him with legal action, said SOHO Vice
President Dan Soderberg. Preservationists say the report contained information crucial to help the HRB make its determination. “It’s very suspicious and problematic,” Coyle said. “It sets a terrible precedent that someone can go through and work the system.” La Jolla Community Planning Association member Phil Merten said the city should have required greater environmental review of Windemere, and not issued an over-the-counter permit. “In the municipal code, the demolition of any structure, whether historic or brand new, requires a coastal development permit,” Merten said. “The Development Services Department really dropped the ball on this.” Addressing the DPR committee, Bottini said he followed all the city’s rules, and that Windemere had been “condemned by the City of San Diego.” Bottini said Windemere was “in very bad disrepair” when he purchased it and uninhabitable, standing as an “attractive nuisance for children on Virginia Way to come in.” “The foundation was in very bad repair, as you can imagine with the move from Prospect Street to Virginia Way,” he said. However, historical society representatives said they had been in the house prior to the sale and that it was still structurally sound. If Windemere was in a state of irreparable disrepair when Bottini purchased it, Coyle contended, then he must have known he would rebuild on the site from the start. That this intention was not disclosed as part of the demolition permitting process shows that project segmentation occurred, she said. “Why buy the property then if it was in such bad shape,” she said. “It’s very suspicious.” Diane Kane, a member of the LJHS’s Preservation Committee, questioned how Windemere could be structurally sound one day and bulldozer-ready three months later. “It seems to me there was a highly cynical approach in the development process — and I think it’s troublesome for our processes as we go forward in the city,” she said.

Pain in the Neck Are you suffering from neck pain and headaches? Currently, 1 in 5 people experience neck pain and have a 1 in 3 chance of developing chronic symptoms lasting longer than 6 months. A report published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (2005), studied the benefits of exercise in treating mechanical neck disorders. Many studies have proven that exercise regimens with a physical therapist consisting of stretching & strengthening exercises and hands-on (or manual) treatment, resulted in reduced pain, disability and improved function.

FROM INFORMATION CENTER, A1 Sheila Fortune, thanks to assistance from Claude-Anthony Marengo of Marengo Morten Architects. “Who are not stepping up is the rest of the community,” Fortune said, noting that though the facility’s electronics have been donated, $25,000 to $50,000 is still needed for the additional renovations and furnishings. The grand opening is scheduled to take place sometime before spring break. “If you want to donate … no amount is too small,” Fortune said, noting that advertising will be available on an array of flat-screen monitors placed strategically throughout the Information Center. Despite the lack of cash, Coller assured the center would be open Jan. 2, “regardless.” The Information Center replaces the more modest Visitor Center on Herschel Avenue. The LJVMA is seeking city approval to relocate two 15-minute parking spaces from the Visitor Center to the street in front of the Information Center.
Craig ‘Spike’ Decker and Josef Liebhardt of Spike and Mike’s Festival of Animation discuss plans to hold a 30th Anniversary celebration at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, Feb. 9-March 22. Pat Sherman The LJVMA has issued a request for proposals (RFP) for landscape architects to design a prototype sidewalk and landscaping on the block encompassing the Information Center. The association hopes the redesign will set a tone and design standard to which other Village building owners will aspire.
The LJVMA also seeks to set a standard for trash receptacles, bike racks, benches, newspaper racks, lighting, tree grates, sidewalk pavers, public art, planters and crosswalk enhancements. Proposals must be submitted by noon, Jan. 18 to La Jolla Village Merchants Association, Attn:

problem of the stench emanating from La Jolla Cove, which seems to be on hiatus since recent storms blasted the built-up layer of bird guano on the rocks. “Council member Lightner’s office continues to work with the community and elected officials at the local and state level to find a solution to the odor problem,” Demorest said. “All the stakeholders — including the Mayor’s office, city staff, the Regional Water Quality Board, the Coastal Commission and state representatives — are cooperating to find a solution that is both environmentally friendly and that requires the fewest number of permits and can be achieved as quickly as possible.” n Police Storefront Renovations: San Diego Police Capt.

Thus far the LJVMA has received four positive responses from business owners adjacent the proposed project, though all 10 businesses adjacent the proposed streetscape improvements are required to submit “no objection statements” to enable the LJVMA to proceed and approach city permitting agencies. Due to the slow response from the remaining six property owners, Coller said he is not certain the project will break ground in the coming year. The pedestrian
promenade, proposed for a one-way stretch of Prospect Street between Girard and Herschel avenues, is the first major element of a larger overall planed revitalization of the entire Village, he said. n Golf Tourney: The LJVMA will partner with the Farmers Insurance Open golf tourney at Torrey Pines, Jan. 24-27. The association is asking all merchants to remain open until 9 p.m. to provide a captivating shopping and dining experience for guests. This year’s event is expected to draw 120,000 to 160,000 visitors. “This event will be on half-amillion TV screens,” Coller said. “The whole world is watching. … It’s an opportunity that should not be missed for this community.” The partnership will include three Haute La Jolla Nights events with live music, gallery exhibitions and merchant specials.

Homeless children invited to Cove for Christmas cheer By Ashley Mackin hristmas came early for some 75 children of St. Vincent De Paul’s Village Dec. 7, when the La Jolla Cove Suites hosted its annual rooftop party for the kids. Hotel owner Krista Baroudi said the children were brought to the event in limousines that were accompanied by the San Diego HarleyDavidson Owners Group (HOG). Pizza, toys and welcoming faces awaited their arrival. Bobby Glaesner, director of San Diego HOG, said he enjoys participating because “there are too many children out there who are homeless. They have been abandoned, abused, forgotten and go unnoticed. They need love and care from an adult. “They may have had some trauma in their life and a story to tell you if you’re willing to listen. When you give them a night of love and security, you give them a vision of what home could be.” The HOGs also purchased toys for the kids, and Baroudi brought the toys “from Santa.” She said a generous donation from the Kiwanis Club made a difference when it came to buying the gifts. Additionally, Bowers Jewelry provided an ornament for each child. “Our party gives the kids a special evening that’s an escape from what they are normally dealing with,” Baroudi said. “It’s all about

They also chatted with the Friar and members of the San Diego Padres’ Pad Squad as they ate pizza. But the chatting ceased at the mention Santa Claus was on his way. The kids scattered to look for him until a shriek of “There he is!” drew kids to the entrance.

Students’ experiment ready for blast off to space station By Ashley Mackin The Better Education for Women In Science and Engineering program (BE WiSE) has launched a program calling on female students from 15 San Diego high schools to design a micro-experiment to be deployed on the International Space Station in March 2013. La Jolla High School’s Gracie Young and The Bishop’s School’s Grace Young represent La Jolla on the project under the mentorship of teachers, industry volunteers and BE WiSE alumni. Grace Young explained that the students would be growing alum crystals in space to test if such would result in development of a more pure structure. Alum crystals are found in several household items, such as dyes, water purification systems, and deodorant. If the crystals do grow differently in the microgravity environment, there is the possibility of growing more crystals in space so they could be used on Earth. Gracie Young said these crystals would also be stronger. If the young researchers could prove that, it could
Participating High Schools ■ La Jolla High School and The Bishop’s School each have a student in the BE WiSE program. One student from each of these schools is also on the team: Academy of Our Lady of Peace; Canyon Crest Academy; Carlsbad High School; Cathedral Catholic High School; Mission Vista High School; Patrick Henry High School; Rancho Buena Vista High School; San Diego High School of International Studies; San Marcos High School; Santa Fe Christian School and Torrey Pines High School. Students in the BE WiSE program develop their experiment, which will soon make its way to the International Space Station. Courtesy lead to the growth of other crystals, such as those used in steel, to make these products more resilient. The results of this experiment could also help in the field of medicine, as pure crystals are used in insulin and other medications. The purity is beneficial because it yields synthetics that would be closer to what the body produces naturally. The experiment will spend one month in orbit traveling approximately 15 million miles at an altitude of about 250 miles above the Earth.
The dimensions of the capsule are two-inches by twoinches by four-inches. The students will have a control experiment on Earth for which they will perform an identical test to see if the results vary due to the influence of microgravity. The dimensions of the capsule carrying the experiment are small – the girls have used toilet paper rolls to approximate size – so it can fit on the NanoRack of the cargo rocket that will take the experiment up to the space station.
The cargo rocket is scheduled to go into space in March 2013, drop off the experiments and cargo to the space stations, and bring the experiments back in May 2013, when the results will be recorded. For Grace Young, having an experiment actually go up into space — a benefit only 100 students have experienced — was shocking when it set in. “When I first heard about this experience, I didn’t really think about it … but when they started stressing that this was going on the space station, it finally hit me one day and I thought ‘oh my god, only 100 kids in
viSit OUr New SHOwrOOM
the whole world get to do this and I’m one of those 100,’ so I think this is an amazing opportunity and I’m really excited to be participating in it.” Press materials stated that BE WiSE is a program under the San Diego Science Alliance (SDSA), which focuses on teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning. “As part of our mission, SDSA strives to build bridges between business, education and scientific research communities to ignite STEM learning. We are extremely excited to be a part of this collaborative voyage into space,” said SDSA Executive
Director Nancy Taylor. A big factor of the BE WiSE program is its orientation to young women. “I don’t mean to be stereotypical, but most people, when they think of scientists, they think of guys in the lab,” Grace Young said, “so having a program for women is a good thing.” She also said the program helps girls develop a passion for science. “I hope to study science in college and through this experience I‘ve found a new interest in space and I kind of want to be an astronaut when I’m older,” she said. Gracie Young said there is also value in getting students interested in science when they are young. “It’s very important because they start (working with the students) in seventh grade, which is when girls start saying, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I can do well in science because there’s all these guys in my class doing better than me’ … it’s really important that they introduce you to these women who have done great things. It’s really inspiring.”

Scripps marine biologist shares findings on deepest dive
Scripps marine biologist Doug Bartlett describes gigantism among crustaceans found nearly seven miles below the surface of the ocean. Claire Discenza
By Claire Discenza “The most exciting dive was the very first one,” said Doug Bartlett, marine biologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Bartlett was one of the researchers who accompanied film director and producer James Cameron on his famous journey to the depths of the Mariana Trench in the spring of 2012. Bartlett presented “Exploring Beyond the Abyss: The DeepSea Challenge Expedition” as December’s installment of the Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean Science lecture series hosted by the Birch Aquarium. In his talk, Bartlett gave the audience a play-by-play of Cameron’s adventures. “It was just magical. It was like ‘2001: A Space Odyssey,” said Bartlett as he played an eerie video of Cameron drifting down through a haze of sediment toward the floor of the Mariana Trench. At 8.2 kilometers below the surface, it was the deepest descent of a manned submersible at the time. The researchers later beat
It was just magical. “It was like ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’ ”
— Doug Bartlett Scripps Institute of Oceanography marine biologist, on the voyage of the Mariana Trench’s Challenger Deep
their own record on March 26 when they sent Cameron down to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the base of the Trench. “There is still some issue as to exactly how deep [the Challenger Deep] is,” said Bartlett. “But it is in the ballpark of 36,000 feet or more. That’s ‘deeper’ than commercial airlines fly, than Mount Everest or any mountain is high.” Cameron traveled the nearly seven vertical miles inside of what Bartlett jokingly referred to as “12 tons of fun”— a one-man torpedo submarine so small as to require the pilot to sit all 9 to 12 hours of the trip cross-legged. The sub provided other discomforts as well: the internal temperature
occasionally rose to above 100-degrees Fahrenheit. Yet the strenuous voyage paid off, as Cameron and the submersible were able to film, photograph and collect never-before-seen marine samples — both biological and mineralogical. At the most extreme depths, the team observed examples of gigantism, collecting shrimp-like crustaceans called amphipods that were over twice the size of their shallowwater counterparts. The researchers also found some of the largest known singlecell organisms. “In these deep-trench environments, it’s a feast or famine existence,” said Bartlett. “There’s some benefit to being
larger. An organism that can get the most nutrition from that sporadic nutrient source has an advantage,” he said. Bartlett and the others made several other surprising discoveries, including the finding of what was likely to be a new species of sea cucumber. “Sea cucumber abundance goes up with depth, and that is even true in the challenger deep,” said Bartlett. “This was an absolutely incredible experience. I think one of the great things we have going in oceanography, and at Scripps in particular, is that we have the opportunity to hobnob with scientists from across disciplines. It’s all very fulfilling and dynamic and productive.” n The Birch Aquarium’s Perspectives on Ocean Science lecture series is held from 6:30-8 p.m. on the second Monday of every month and is open to the public.

According to Swain, olives are traditionally grown in wineproducing regions, so We Olive works with farmers in the Central Coast, Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles
and San Luis Obispo, and the company represents a few dozen artisan olive oils at any given time. “Olive oils offer a vast array of aromas and flavors to choose from, and we look for a nice balance between fresh fruity aroma, pungency (a peppery kick that comes from olive oil) and the natural bitterness coming from olives,” Swain said. A visit to We Olive makes for a learning experience. “We educate our guests about the health benefits of olive oil, which include helping to reduce the risk of heart disease and inflammation,” Swain said. “Olive oil is packed with antioxidants and polyphenols.” We Olive’s knowledgeable staff of 12 walks customers through a tasting to help them find an olive oil they’ll love. “Our staff is culinary school grads, inspiring sommeliers and food stylists, who create all the food in the store, including cheese plates, salads, spreads and charcuterie,” Swain said. “So if
you’re a foodie or a gourmet, you’re immediately immersed in an environment of like-minded people.” We Olive offers California wines from small estates and family producers. Three dozen wines are featured and 30 of them are offered by the half glass, full glass, or by the case at retail prices designed to be affordable. “Our staff handpicks all the wines and helps guide our guests through the list to help them find the right wine for a dinner,” Swain said. We Olive recently opened a new kiosk at UTC’s Westfield Mall that showcases olive oils, balsamic vinegars and other holiday gifts. — We Olive, 1158 Prospect St. in La Jolla, is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday-Thursday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Happy Hour runs 4-7 p.m. Monday-Friday. Free Foodie Friday is 6-8 p.m. (858) 551-8250. http://lajolla.weolive.com

Morgan Stanley broker named to Barron’s Top 100 Financial Advisors list From Morgan Stanley Reports
Robert Inbody
For the third year in a row, Robert Inbody, a managing director with Morgan Stanley in La Jolla, was named to the list of Barron’s Top 100 financial advisors in the nation. Inbody, a Del Mar resident, is the only broker in San Diego County to achieve this honor. Barron’s rankings are based on each advisor’s “assets under management, revenue generated for his or her firm and quality of the practice.” Morgan Stanley boasted 30 of the top 100 advisors. Inbody has been with Morgan Stanley for 40 years, starting as a trainee in the company’s downtown San Diego office in
Courtesy
1971. When it opened the satellite office in La Jolla in 1975, he became the producing manager, a title he held until 1996 when he went back to being a broker, leaving the management side behind. “This has been a fantastic job, and I am lucky to have chosen this as my career,” Inbody said. “It is something I truly enjoy and it’s rewarding helping other people. I have great clients who I have come to know very well over the years.” By staying in one place for 40 years, Inbody has generated the trust and respect that has allowed nearly all of his business to come from referrals. Inbody said he was honored, but somewhat surprised, to be on this presti-
gious list because he is not your typical financial planner. “My success comes in doing things that no other broker does,” Inbody said of his creating a niche in investing to protect against a depreciating U.S. dollar by investing in equities, gold, foreign currencies and other nontraditional investment vehicles. “I am unique in that I utilize a broader range of products than the average broker. For the last 10 years, a good portion of our investing has been in gold, energy and foreign currency.” He said the biggest challenge is to provide income for clients in a low-interest rate environment. The idea is to
look for investments that can provide good rates of return with reduced risk. In developing his own style, he’s made his career exciting and different, even while working long days. “The ‘sun never sets’ when investing one’s money and if I weren’t doing it with Morgan Stanley, I’d be doing the same thing for myself. There is also the game aspect of the market and any game is fun when you win.” — Morgan Stanley is at 1225 Prospect St. in La Jolla.

Hillel Center addresses misconceptions about its proposed building in La Jolla BY Michael Rabkin Executive Director Hillel of San Diego
A
t the November meeting of the La Jolla Shores Planned District Advisory Board, the motion to approve the Hillel project failed by a vote of 3 to 2. Had board member Susan Starr, whose household has been a lead public opponent of the Hillel project, abstained, chairman Paul Benton would have broken the tie and voted in favor of the project. This kind of bias among the local planning group is unfortunately not new. The La Jolla Light article on Nov. 22 highlighted several arguments against the Hillel project without providing the counterpoint. Since the Board did not permit Hillel to offer a rebuttal, we would like to call attention to just a few. Others are on our website at ucsdhillelbuilding.org Myth: “The project will result in significant environmental impacts.” Fact: There are no impacts that cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. For example, we need to have a paleontologist on site during grading activities to preserve any disturbed artifacts. This is a standard permit requirement for all projects in La Jolla regardless of whether a project has an EIR. Myth: “The development of the Hillel Center opens the door to fraternities in the neighborhood.” Fact: This “slippery slope” argument is invalid. A fraternity would have no standing to receive a permit in a single-family zone. Furthermore, Hillel is not a fraternity; it is a Religious Corporation organized under the California non-profit law and is qualified as a
GUEST COMMENTARY religious charity under the Internal Revenue Code, just like a church or synagogue. Myth: “If you’re a religious institution, there are established parking ratios: 30 parking spaces are required per every 1,000 square feet, or one space for every three pew seats.” Fact: This requirement may work for churches with pews, but Hillel does not have pews. A Hillel Center is a unique religious use, and a parking study more accurately determines the parking impacts. We typically have three programs a week during non-peak hours, and most of these are small groups of 10 to 20 students. The opponents of the project are basing their argument on the maximum occupancy of the facility, not the actual number of people who would attend events. Hillel Centers typically provide limited student parking and have very low parking demand. Over 80 percent of students use alternate methods of transportation to access Hillel. The UCSD Hillel Center for Jewish Life will provide a parking ratio of 3.7 per 1,000 square feet whereas other California Hillel centers surveyed provide fewer than two spaces per 1,000 square feet. For example, UCLA Hillel, which is also located just off campus, is a 25,000 square foot center and provides 15 parking spaces. Our study concludes that 27 on-site parking spaces are more than adequate to provide for the regular parking needs of the facility. Myth: “The buildings are out of character with the surrounding neighborhood, which largely features one-story, single-family homes.” Fact: The three small structures that make up the Center fit well in the neighborhood, which has a mixture of architectural styles. There are quite a few two-story homes in the immediate vicinity including one directly opposite the
proposed site of Hillel on the corner of Cliffridge and La Jolla Scenic. The opposition’s statement is purely subjective, and they offer no evidence to support their claim. The architect has designed a facility that matches the bulk, scale and character of the neighborhood. Myth: “Narrowing an already dangerous street would make it more dangerous.” Fact: According to CHP, there have been no traffic incidents in the past five years on that roadway. Furthermore, research shows that narrower streets tend to lower the speed of vehicles and calm traffic. The Hillel development would only narrow the street by two feet, which would keep the street within the required minimum width. Myth: “For the past 20 years, Hillel has not been a good neighbor.” Fact: Hillel has been a good neighbor for the eight years we have occupied the temporary location pending the permit approval. (Hillel was not in the neighborhood prior to eight years ago.) There have been no gatherings of students, and certainly no events that have caused disruptions in the neighborhood. Over the years, Hillel leadership has made multiple good-faith efforts to sit at the table with our neighbors to achieve a workable outcome, but the neighbors have so far refused to dialogue. Instead, they have chosen litigation. Hillel has made several major modifications to the project, including reducing the size by almost half, to address the concerns of the neighbors raised during the public review process. Hillel will continue to be a good neighbor during construction and operation of the new facility, and we hope that our neighbors will respond in kind. — Robert Lapidus, Past President Hillel of San Diego, also contributed to this article.

To each his own holiday
OUR READERS WRITE
Vote comes in strong for sainthood, Mike Slater Editor’s note: Last week the Light editorialized about radio talk show host Mike Slater’s self-directed cleanup of the Cove stench. During the recent rains, Slater walked out on the rocky cliffs and push-broomed the decomposing cormorant guano into the ocean. The next day he blogged about it as a call-to-action in the face of all the bureaucratic delays over solving the issue. We wondered if he was a saint or sinner? Well, start polishing your halo, Mike; here are some of the replies via LaJollaLight.com: n Oh good grief. He swept birdcrap off rocks into the ocean and he’s an anarchist? Thirty years ago, he’d have been elected president of the Town Council. — Brian Brady n Here’s to anarchy!
— San Diego Rostra Twitter
n I think what he did is awesome, if the birds and seals would have pooped a little sooner it would have ended up in the ocean anyway. You think that the city would realize it’s going to lose money by not taking care of this problem … it would be cheaper to hire a few people to clean here and there (as needed) than lose all those visitors and tourists. Being that money is all the city ever cares about, I’m surprised it hadn’t have thought of this already. — Theresa Cirrito n What a beautiful Christmas present to La Jolla, and all of us thank you, Mr. Slater! — zktty@aol.com n My vote is SAINT for Mike Slater.
Why is it that people want to turn the world grey and extinguish our holiday cultures for political correctness? This country is full of rich holiday traditions that people brought here from all over the world. My family celebrates Christmas. I look forward to the food we eat and the traditions we keep with great expectation. Every year, around the Christmas tree during the holiday season, I get together my family while we eat delicious handmade pierogi and other foods my Polish ancestors have shared for generations. These are the times when we all get to see one another and celebrate. If we would have to refer to Christmas as “Winter Solstice,” it wouldn’t be the same. When we celebrate Christmas, we embrace our religion and traditions but never cast out other people’s beliefs or ask anyone to change what they believe or practice. We just want to come together and have fun. It is understandable that people with different beliefs are offended by the celebration of a Christian holiday, but if Christmas was censored and changed to bring happiness to the people who are offended by Christmas, then the people who celebrate Christmas would become offended by a change in their traditions. If you don’t believe in Christmas then refer to the time of year as anything you want, as long as it makes you happy because that is what the holiday season is about. The most interesting thing about the holiday season for me is the way different cultures celebrate this season. It does not matter what holiday people are celebrating or the way they celebrate them because every single form of celebration brings happiness and joy, which is what this season is about. Kristoff Pawinski Born in La Jolla, 1995
n Many thanks to Mike Slater for taking personal action with a simple, rational and effective solution. (I thought on many occasions of sneaking out at night and rinsing the cliffs or getting together a group of volunteers to “just do it!” His is not an anarchist action, but rather (the work) of a rational community member taking responsible action. — Sharon Wampole n Good for you, my friend. Good for you. Next time, I’ll help. — Bill Smith

Rotary pairs with the Y to spread seasonal cheer Reaching out during the holiday season is an intricate part of serving community needs. The Golden Triangle Rotary Club is doing just this. Dec. 15-16, it partnered with YMCA OZ, a social service through the YMCA of San Diego County that provides a temporary residence for teenagers experiencing personal, school, or family difficulties. On Saturday, the Golden Triangle Rotary Club sent out 12 volunteers to decorate the YMCA OZ homes for the holiday season. As part of a tradition since 1995, the volunteers decorated the homes and provided a holiday dinner — complete with gifts, a holiday card-making party, and movie tickets for the well-deserving teens. In connection with the Golden Triangle Rotary Club, teens involved in the La Jolla YMCA’s Youth and Government Program have also developed a support for their peers that YMCA OZ serves on a weekly basis. The Youth and Government Program delegates learn the basics of the California Government system. The group of teens volunteered to raise money to purchase gifts for the residents of YMCA OZ. Together, the Golden Triangle Rotary Club and the La Jolla YMCA are making a difference in our community. Jen Rivieccio Development, Communications and Childcare La Jolla YMCA

In the early morning hours of Monday, the 3rd of December, 2012, Elizabeth (Beth) Secrest Poppendiek passed away. She died peacefully in her sleep. She was 92 years old and had a wonderful life. Beth was born on October 14, 1920, in Modesto, CA, growing up on the family farm in Empire, a small community seven miles east of Modesto. She was the youngest of four children, two older sisters, Wilma and Esta, and a brother, Robert. She attended Empire Grammar School, Modesto High School and Modesto
Junior College where she decided to become a high school history teacher. She chose UC Berkeley to get her teaching credential, where at an Honor Student Society rumba dance class, she met her future husband, Heinz. After graduation, she moved to San Francisco and worked for a chemical shipping company during the war years. She and Heinz were married August 15, 1943, and settled in Berkeley where she worked at the UCB Registrar Office and Heinz worked in the Engineering Dept. Two years later their first child was born. While raising their family of three children they lived in Venice, California, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee, before moving to La Jolla in December 1956. Always the loving, upbeat and encouraging center of the family, she was enthusiastically supportive and involved in many aspects of her family’s lives, whether serving as Girl or Boy Scout troop leader, field trip chaperon, PTA member or working alongside her husband as bookkeeper for his two companies, Geoscience Ltd.
and Thermonetics. She was both a corporate officer and company bookkeeper for a 52 year period, contributing greatly to the success of both companies. Over the years she played many roles in community organizations such as the League of Women Voters and the La Jolla Women’s Club. But she was most passionate about volunteering for the Scripps Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and its important support role for the hospital, serving different terms as an officer or staff member for 47 years, from 1963 until 2010. Beth always looked forward to family gatherings and summer visits with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, loved cooking for her family, especially baking pies from the fruit she and Heinz grew on their hilltop, ocean view garden. She loved entertaining her many wonderful friends, was an avid bridge player and belonged to at least two groups at any one time. She is survived by her husband of 69 years, Heinz; her son, Niel; daughter, Carolyn and son-in-law, Sam; son, Mark and daughter-inlaw, Margaret; grandson,
Ian and his wife, Carrie; granddaughter, Erin and her husband, Nate; and three great-grandchildren, Natalie, Riley and Alice. She is also survived by her nieces, Freya, Linda and Vicky; sister-in-law, Arlene; and nephews, John, Doug and Eddie. A family memorial gathering will be held in early January. Please call 730-473-8458 for more information. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the new Scripps Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, c/o Scripps Health Foundation, P.O.

Naked, machete-wielding man shot by Torrey Pines park rangers CRIME REPORT Charles Collins, 29, who was accused of coming at park rangers with a machete at Torrey Pines State Reserve last week, was hospitalized in stable condition Dec. 13 after one of the rangers shot him. San Diego Police Department presented a case for arraignment on Dec. 17. The shooting took place along a trail in the park shortly after 2 p.m. Dec. 13, said San Diego police homicide Lt. Jorge Duran. A California State Park Ranger was responding to a call about a nude man acting irrationally when he came upon the suspect inside a camping tent in a brush area along a trail, the lieutenant said in a statement. The ranger ordered the man to come out of the tent and show identification, prompting him to become verbally combative, Duran said. The ranger called for backup and another ranger arrived a short time later. At some point, the man allegedly reached inside his tent and pulled out a machete, turning toward the rangers in a threatening manner. “Fearing he was about to be assaulted, one of the rangers fired one round from his duty weapon striking the male in the torso,” Duran said. “The male dropped the machete and was taken into custody.”
Medics took Collins to a local trauma center. Duran said the wound to the torso was not life-threatening and Collins is still in stable condition. He is being kept under guard at the hospital and it is not yet known if there were drugs in his system. The ranger who fired his weapon is an eight-year veteran of the State Parks Department. San Diego police homicide detectives are investigating the shooting. — City News Service

posed for the rear parking lot of the Vons grocery story on Girard Avenue. “The city admitted that they made a mistake,” Dershowitz said. “Now they’re thinking about what else to do.”
FROM TOWN COUNCIL, A3 Trustee Egon Kafka will fund the remaining $300 for the sign. n Fundraiser update: LJTC trustee Nancy Gardner said the organization’s much-anticipated fundraiser, Dancing with La Jolla Stars, will be the evening of Sept. 21, 2013 at the La Jolla Financial Building, 1200 Prospect St. Gardner said several highprofile names have already expressed interest in being dancers, including Dixon Smith, commander of Navy Region Southwest (aka “Mayor of the Navy”). The event will be held on the patio overlooking the ocean, most likely from 6 to 10 p.m. The event committee is still seeking local “celebrity” judges with good chemistry and charisma. “There is a groundswell of support from the community every time I mention this,” Gardner said. “This is now on the desk of the mayor’s office. I suspect that if either he or his fiancée aren’t dancers, they’ll be involved (somehow).” Gardner said a friend’s organization in Arizona is
The La Jolla Town Council recognizes board member Ann Kerr Bache, left, for her efforts as chair of the La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival. Pat Sherman now raising $800,000 with a similarly-themed event. “My goal is $400,000 our first year, at a minimum, and that money goes through the town council, straight back into the community for projects that we need, per a vote of the council, such as the Belvedere Promenade.” Anyone wishing to help is invited to attend event committee meetings, 5 p.m. the first Monday of the month at Hennessey’s Tavern, 7811 Herschel Ave. n Christmas Parade recap: La Jolla Christmas
Parade Chair Ann Kerr Bache was given a plaque recognizing her annual efforts to pull off the parade and holiday festival. Though this year’s parade almost didn’t take place due to an initial scarcity of funding, Kerr Bache said an estimated 25,000 people attended the event on Dec. 2, making it the largest turnout in the parade’s history. Kerr Bache also recognized the efforts of LJTC member Rob Hildt and trustee Kafka and his wife, Maureen. Calling themselves, “Rob’s Riders,” the trio walked the
parade route the night before, putting flyers on windshields to alert people that they needed to move their vehicles. As a result, no cars were towed along the parade route, Kerr Bache said.
Subcommittee reports n Coastal Access and Parking (CA&P): Nancy Gardner reported that the CA&P board is still working to obtain status as a separate nonprofit organization. “The city does have our money captive,” Gardner said. “In the meantime, the (La Jolla Village) Merchants
Association has graciously agreed to … sponsor our 501(c)3.” n La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO): LJTC trustee Mike Dershowitz said a mixed-use project that came before the PDO committee recently was not in compliance with the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance because it exceeded the height limit for its proposed location — despite having been approved by city staff. The project, which would include two stories of condominiums above groundfloor retail space, was pro-
n Looking ahead: LJTC President Cindy Greatrex commended immediate past president Rick Wildman for his ability to line up engaging guest speakers. Greatrex said as president she hopes to continue that tradition, securing speakers to address La Jolla issues, such as the Torrey Pines Road Corridor project, Cove stench or green technologies. Greatrex said such discussions are consistent with the town council’s mission: “to provide a forum for people to come and hear both sides of the story.” “Let’s not forget that the core mission of this town council always has been as a feeder to the city council, to allow the city and greater areas of the county or state to know what La Jollans are thinking,” Greatrex said. “It doesn’t mean we can solve the problem or even move the needle … but we can provide a forum for discussion.”

section b 10 QUESTIONS
Rev. Sam Greening finds joy in service to God, community Rev. Sam Greening, pastor of the Congregational Church of La Jolla, is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. Originally from Ashland, Kentucky, he received his undergraduate degree in German from the University of Louisville, and his Master of Divinity from Drew University in New Jersey. Rev. Greening has been a pastor for more than 25 years, with eight of those years spent abroad — five as a pastor in Latin America (Bogotá, Sam Greening Colombia and San Juan, Puerto Rico), and three coordinating international ministries in Europe, based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In La Jolla since 2005, Rev. Greening is a past president of the La Jolla Kiwanis Club and is currently on the board of the University Community Planning Group. He also chairs his denomination’s Church & Ministry Committee and will be a delegate to its General Synod.
What brought you to La Jolla? When I returned to the United States after several years abroad, I had my pastoral profile sent everywhere in the country. Because my church is strongest in New England and the Midwest, I wasn’t expecting that San Diego would be where I ended up. But fortunately, the La Jolla congregation and I were a match, and so when they issued what’s termed a “pastoral call” to me, I was very happy to accept. I’ve been here for seven years now. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? There’s not much to improve about our community. But if I could change one thing, it would be involvement. La Jolla is not exactly losing population, but it seems that fewer and fewer people are becoming part of the fabric of our neighborhood. Whether it’s a service club or a faith community, there are many ways to get involved here. La Jolla has beautiful scenery and great restaurants and stores, but I wish more people would participate in the community this place has to offer as well. It’s very much like a small town.

Seasons 52 offers UTC shoppers a healthful spot to dine By Kelley Carlson t the newly opened Seasons 52, guests won’t find the traditional calorie-laden foods of the holiday season. Instead, they may be delighted to discover that there is nothing on the menu over 475 calories — not even the desserts. “We use all-natural cooking techniques,” Executive Chef Steve de Barril explained, which includes the use of a brick oven and an oak-fire grill. Other secrets to the healthy fare: no deep fryers, no butter, and no cooking with cream. “We let the product speak for itself,” de Barril said. The cuisine apparently speaks volumes, as the restaurant — which opened Nov. 19 in the Westfield UTC shopping center — already seems to draw quite a few people. Located in a brand-new building with a stone exterior, Seasons 52 — one of 26 in the Darden-owned chain — has a prominent spot next to Sears. When patrons first walk in, their attention is often drawn to the wine collection in the “Chateau” behind the front counter. It houses a sizable portion of the establishment’s 2,000 bottles, from renowned wine producers such as France, South Africa and, of course, California. “With 60 (wines offered by the glass), there’s always something new to try,” de Barril said. Just a few steps away is the Chef’s Table room, which displays “spiced artwork” — aromatic herbs and spices built into frames on the wall and table. Up to 10 people can feast on a seven-course meal chosen by de Barril. In the heart of the restaurant is the main dining room, which is timeless and elegant, yet casually contemporary. Its design is

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.
n This week’s recipe: Seasons 52’s Cider-glazed Chicken Skewers inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, featuring autumn ledgestone and solid Honduran mahogany throughout, and hand-made vases add brilliant colors. Also adjacent to the dining room is the full-service piano lounge/bar, with operable floor-to-ceiling windows. From 6 p.m. to close daily, and all day long on weekends for the remainder of December, live music emanates from a rotating piano in the bar. Guests often request songs while sipping on beers or signature cocktails such as the Blackberry Storm with Atlantico Reserva Rum, blackberry preserves, lime juice, agave nectar and a hint of allspice; and the Pomegranate Margarita Martini, a blend of Patrón Silver Tequila, Patrón Citrónge and pomegranate juice.
The design of the main dining room is inspired by the work of architect and interior designer Frank Lloyd Wright. PHOTOS By Kelley Carlson Diners who relish the outdoors may opt to sit on the wraparound patio with two fire pits and watch shoppers ambling along. While Seasons 52 does not have a traditional happy hour, it offers “Flights and Flats” from the time it opens until 6 p.m. daily. For $15, patrons may choose three samples of wine from eight varieties, and then receive a full glass of their favorite along with a flatbread. Among the flatbread selections are Artichoke & Goat Cheese and Steak & Cremini Mushroom. Since Seasons 52 relies on fresh produce and seafood for its fare, its menu is constantly changing. Nearly all of the core dishes shift with the season, but a handful of new items — primarily soups, flatbreads, fish and desserts — are introduced every Tuesday.
Some of the primary items on the fall menu that may change slightly for winter are BBQ Chicken salad; Vegetarian Tasting with quinoa-farro salad, soft taco, chile relleno, cedar-roasted tofu and mango chutney; and Springer Mountain Farm AllNatural Grilled Chicken with tamarind glaze, sweet potato mash and pumpkin seeds. However, there are some plates that will remain the same, including the Kalymnos Greek salad; Caramelized Grilled Sea Scallops and roasted asparagus; and Cedar Plank Roasted Pacific King Salmon. As for dessert, Seasons 52 presents Mini Indulgences — individually sized portions of classics such as Meyer Lemon Pound Cake, Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse and Rocky Road.

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 Who or what inspires you? I think my most important inspiration in life came from Cosby Hatfield, my maternal grandmother back in Eastern Kentucky. She would’ve turned 100 this year, and I preached a sermon about her in July. Though I thought I knew what a great influence she had on me, in talking to my family about her and then putting my thoughts into words, I gained a new appreciation for my roots. Most people think of Southern Appalachia as a backward place, but that wasn’t my experience of it. My childhood gave me a thirst for knowledge and a desire to experience diversity that many urban and suburban kids don’t receive. I attribute a lot of that to my grandmother. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? In alphabetical order: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Calvin, Hillary Clinton, Toyohiko Kagawa, Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Sojourner Truth.
What are you reading? I usually read several books at once. Right now I’m reading “Songs of the Nativity,” John Calvin’s sermons on the first two chapters of Luke, to keep me grounded and “The Color of Christ: The Son of God and the Saga of Race in America,” by Edward Blum, to broaden my horizons. To prepare for the new film, I’m rereading “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien for the umpteenth time. To challenge my thinking, I’m listening to Rachel Maddow’s “Drift: The Unmooring of American Military Power” as an audio book, while I’m driving. What do you do for fun? I most love to read. My favorite genre of fiction is scifi/fantasy (more the latter), but I read a lot of theology, too, both the classics and contemporary works. I also enjoy history, and have been reading quite a bit about the Civil War, since we’re observing its sesquicentennial. I used to love to travel, but haven’t been able to do nearly as much of that over the past few years. I tend to obsess about college sports, and a typical Sat-
urday can easily be wasted watching football on TV, while a typical Monday (my day off) can be squandered devouring conference realignment news. I’ve also developed a fondness over the years for odd things, such as Latin music and (believe it or not) German comedy. What is your mostprized possession? I have a favorite Bible that was falling apart. A member of my church took it and had it rebound in black leather for me, and I’d say that is the one possession I would least like to give up. What is your mostmarked characteristic? Adaptability. I seldom do things the same way twice, and I love the challenge of adapting to the unexpected. When people apologize for throwing a curveball at me, I genuinely mean it when I tell them that I received it as an opportunity, not an inconvenience. Having lived in four different countries, I’ve learned to cherish change. What is your motto or philosophy of life? There’s a line in a poem
by fellow Kentuckian Wendell Berry that I think sums up my philosophy while respecting my theology: “We live the given life and not the planned.” Like most people, I make my plans. But when something unexpected happens, I go with the flow. Ultimately, I’m not really the one in charge. I have a responsibility to use the gifts and abilities I’ve been given; but for me, true freedom is best experienced in faithfulness to the Giver, and that sometimes takes me to places I never planned to go. What would be your dream vacation? I don’t really like the word vacation, since I don’t tend to separate my calling from the rest of my life. But I’ve got a sabbatical coming up and I’m currently in dialogue with my denomination’s Global Ministries division to spend a considerable chunk of time in Latin America, getting to know people and sharing with them my North American experience. My preference is to return to Cuba (a place I visited for a couple of weeks about 10 years ago), and I think we’re going to make it happen. If it does, I’ll be working there with the Protestant theological seminary in Matanzas, the Cuban Council of Churches, and the Centro Memorial Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Havana.

‘Blue’ Christmas worship service set at La Jolla United Methodist Church La Jolla United Methodist Church will be offering its second annual Blue Christmas Service at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21 in the sanctuary at 6063 La Jolla Blvd. Following the service, there will be a fellowship time with coffee, cookies and conversation in Memorial Hall. Church staff said the service is open to all and designed for people who experience “the blues” during the holidays due to a recent loss or emptiness that leads to feeling alone, discouraged, disconnected or bereft. “The Blue Christmas service is an opportunity to gather for a quiet, reflective time of worship, remembering the one and only essential thing about Christmas … that God came to us bringing light for our darkness, peace for our turmoil, hope in the midst of our despair,” according to church officials.

Local artist offers free art classes for kids beginning in January Through a grant provided by the Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation, Janene Farmer will offer free art classes to elementary and middle school students starting Jan. 8 at the North University Community Branch Library, 8820 Judicial Drive, San Diego. Farmer, an artist since age 3 and a public school teacher for 23 years, said students will work with drawing, painting, watercolors, ink, pastels and charcoal, and sometimes in groups to learn problem-solving techniques. “I think the arts are so incredible as far as offering kids ways to become adventurers and problem-solvers, and to think outside the box. Art helps them in their other classes, too,” she said. n Seventh- and eighth-graders will meet 4:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesdays. n Third- and fourth-graders, 1-3 p.m., Wednesdays. n Fifth- and six-graders, 3-5 p.m., Wednesdays. “Most students in the schools around here have half-days on Wednesdays, so that’s why we selected that (date),” she said.

Salvation Army to honor two La Jollans at spring Women of Dedication luncheon By Ashley Mackin The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary will present 15 women — including La Jollans Sherry Ahern and Kathryn Stephens — with a Women of Dedication award at the 48th annual Garden of Giving luncheon on March 8, 2013. The event is open to the public and will be held at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, 1380 Harbor Drive. This year’s honorees were announced at a tea held on Nov. 1. The Women of Dedication were chosen for their community projects and selected by a committee of past honorees, said Nancie Geller, vice president of communication for the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary. “The criteria is basically women in our community going above and giving their time, talent and financial resources to make our community a better place,” Geller said. Tickets for the luncheon are available through Pamela Lennen at pamela. lennen@usw.salvationarmy. org or (619) 446-0273. Geller said the event is the largest fundraiser for the Women’s Auxiliary. All proceeds will go to the Transitional Living Center at Door of Hope, which offers a temporary living arrangement for women with children, as well as supportive services. The following list of Ahern’s and Stephens’ contributions were presented by the SAWA in recognition of their accomplishments:

Stephens also spent two years as director for the New Children’s Museum. She has crafted cheerful, vibrant mosaic murals at Bird Rock Elementary, where she taught for several years, and at the San Diego Osteopathic Center.

Silver Tea raises funds to aid child protection services By Ashley Mackin he St. Germaine Children’s Charity hosted its 29th annual Silver Tea on Dec. 4 at the home of Holly Casele Holden and Emmet Holden to raise money for programs that care for abused children in San Diego. St. Germaine’s sponsors agencies that provide care, shelter and treatment of at-risk youth. Its statistics state that in 2007, the San Diego Child Abuse hotline received 75,000 calls. At the fundraiser, members sipped tea and nibbled cookies and sandwiches as they shopped the silent auction. This year’s beneficiaries include the Angels Foster Family Network; A Reason To Survive (ARTS); Casa De Amparo’s children’s shelter; Center for Community Solutions; The Children’s Initiative; Family Health Centers of San Diego; Healthy Start Military Family Resource Center and SAY San Diego; Home Start; New Haven Youth and Family Services; San Diego Armed Services YMCA; South Bay Community Services; Sports Training, Academics, Recreation/Police Athletic League (STAR/PAL); and the Women’s Resource Center.

Time of the year to go nuts about chestnuts
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
T
he Nat King Cole Christmas tune chimes in my head,
“chestnuts roasting on an open fire,” and I go gaga over these holiday delights. Shiny, mahogany gems are piled high in mounds in the grocery produce aisles, cans of delicate puree and jars of whole, peeled kernels line the shelves and dominate seasonal displays. Here’s a little chestnut primer to help you get the best out of these scrumptious nuggets while they’re still good and plenty.
CELEBRATE ThE hoLidAys at Beaumont’s and Brockton Villa
New year’s Eve at Beaumont’s
Caveman Candy Chestnuts are possibly one of the oldest food sources, dating back to the Flintstone era. Biologically known as the Castanea sativa, the chestnut tree originally came to Europe from Greece. European immigrants imported the tree to America, while today Spartan groves exist in California and the Pacific Northwest after the chestnut population was devastated by a blight at the turn of the last century. Most chestnuts are imported from Japan, China, Spain, Italy and France where the latter call these precious jewels marrons. The Shell Game Chestnut flowers form into spiny burrs with a shiny brown shell encapsulating usually a pair or trio of creamy white, soft kernels. When buying chestnuts, the outer spiky husk is shed, leaving the thin-skin brownish covering, a stubborn shell that is difficult to remove from the starchy nut. To make your life easier, blanch or cook the chestnuts first. You will need a sharp pointed knife to score the flat side of the nut with an “X” or a horizontal cut. Place nuts in cold water, bring to a boil and simmer for three minutes. Keep them

Sweet Chestnut Puree A-Go-Go This heavenly chestnut puree has been savored around the world by commoners and royals alike, particularly at the century-old Gerbeaud Café in Budapest, a favorite haunt of the Habsburg royal family, and the Queen of Hungary who dropped by to get their fix of this blissful delicacy. ■ Ingredients: • 12 ounces chestnut puree (canned) • 1/2 cup heavy cream • 2 tablespoons Brandy, or pick your poison (Amaretto, Frangelico, Cognac) • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract • 1 tablespoon chestnut honey • Sea salt to taste ■ Directions: Combine ingredients in a food processor and blend until the mixture forms a smooth texture, much like a Spackle. If it is too thick, add more cream. Chill and serve in martini glasses. Garnish with shaved bittersweet chocolate and a dollop of whipped cream. Serves 6. immersed in the hot water, peeling one at a time. Your chestnuts are recipe-ready. One word of chestnut warning: Do not eat raw or even partially cooked, as the high tannic acid will likely cause digestive problems. So boil or roast completely before indulging. Pick a Winner Fresh chestnuts are at their prime in December. Make sure they are glossy and glabrous without nicks, cuts or blemishes. Feel their heft, and choose solid, heavy ones that are not cracked or shriveled. Shake them, and if you hear a rattling sound, or feel it rock ‘n’ rolling, discard it. To keep them from drying out, store in a cool, dry

place for one week, or in a storage bag in the fridge for up to one month. A Chestnut a Day Atypical of other nuts and seeds, chestnuts have a fairly low fat content and are low in calories, although rife with starch on a par with sweet potatoes, spuds, corn and plantains. They contain a mother lode of phyto-nutrients, minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber. Rich in anti-oxidant Vitamin C, chestnuts have immune-boosting oomph. Packed with folates they are a great pregnancy food for the health of the growing fetus, and for red blood cell production. An excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acids, chestnuts have been found to lower total as well as bad cholesterol levels. Endowed with B-complex vitamins, they put the skids on stress, are abundant in iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and zinc, and as a final boon — are gluten-free, a holiday treat for the gluten-sensitive and Celiac sufferers.

savory dishes as sweet ones. In Europe and Asia, due to the high starch content the kernels are used as a spud substitute. Chestnuts go solo braised, roasted, steamed or grilled. To warm the cockles of your heart, whip up a chestnut amaretto soup with toasted almonds, or a chestnut butternut squash bisque. For a riff on Italian dishes, try chestnut risotto or ravioli.

Artist’s whimsical ‘Library’ takes new look at Athenaeum By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Artist Mathieu Gregoire is known for his large-scale public projects, as well as more intimate temporary installations using found and fabricated objects. His skill at the latter is on display this month in his first solo show at the Athenaeum. Gregoire has incorporated images of books, plants, fabrics and fragments of architectural features from the music and arts library into his show, titled “Library.� He even sanded down a gallery wall to reveal all the layers of paint used in past exhibitions. It’s his way of looking at the different layers that make up the Athenaeum. “What do you do in a library?� he asked himself, swiftly answering the question: “You look up things. You look up the relations between things. You connect ideas. That’s the key to my installation.� “Library� is all about making connections, finding new ways of looking at things. This is not an exhibit to rush through. Every section expands in interest as you give it more careful attention. Consider the large blackand-white wall pieces: all the black shapes are negative spaces. The black symbols that look like some form of

Wagners help endow student production fund at UCSD effort that will sustain the future quality of theater at UC San Diego, one of the top programs in the nation,” said Wagner, professor emeritus. “We need to ensure that the show goes on for students. Thanks to their experience in student productions and the training they receive, our alumni make significant contributions in film, television, Broadway, off-Broadway and at major regional theaters.” In addition to providing the lead gift, the Wagners have agreed to be cochairs of the Student Production Fund
From UCSD reports
After an academic theater career that spanned nearly 40 years, Arthur Wagner, founding chair of the UC San Diego Department of Theatre and Dance, is still passionate about training the next generation of performing artists. Concerned that professional training opportunities are vanishing because of shrinking budgets, Wagner and his wife, Molli, announced a lead gift of $2.2 million to endow the UCSD Division of Arts and Humanities’ Student Production Fund. “It is time to launch a fundraising
initiative that seeks to generate a $7 million endowment in support for student performances. Private support is critically needed to help continue the training students need, including funding actual productions and associated expenses. To support the fund, visit http://theatre.ucsd.edu In recognition of the generosity of Arthur and Molli Wagner, the campus has renamed its annual new play festival the Wagner New Play Festival, which each spring produces plays written by students in the MFA playwriting program.

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. Date: November 28, 2012 WT Capital Lender Services, a California corporation

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us.

and where to find Soledad South, the Old Muirlands, Bird Rock, and La Jolla Mesa. Where did these designations come from? According to REBA, a group of Real Estate agents laid them out decades ago in an effort to bring organization to showing property 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 for the asking from Kathy Steever at the REBA offices, 908 Kline St. Visitors find them useful, since La Jolla is not laid out on a Midwestern-style grid.
REAL ESTATE Realtor Bob Andrews completes Furnace Creek 508 bike race Willis Allen Realtor Bob Andrews recently completed the Furnace Creek 508 cycling race. Known as “The Toughest 48 Hours in Sport,” The Great American Bike Race and the world’s premiere ultra-bicycle race, the 508-mile ride treks through mountains and desert. The ride stretches from Santa Clarita across the Mojave Desert and through Death Valley National Park and the Mojave National Preserve before finishing at the gateway to Joshua Tree National Park. Andrews conquered the race as a solo rider with a three-person support team, saying he was surprised and moved by the number of people who offered their support and encouragement. “I have come away from Bob Andrews the event with an incredible feeling of gratitude for these relationships, and I really look forward to giving back,” Andrews said. La Jolla Branch Manager Jane Dreher said, “We have an amazing team of
individuals at Willis Allen, and Bob is a shining example of the commitment our agents put into their work both professional and personally. We are incredibly proud of him.” Andrews explained that he has been cycling since he could walk. He started training for this race after he fractured his hip in a crash last year and realized time was of the essence “because my health could change at any time.” An established Willis Allen agent with wife Terri, Andrews rates his cycling accomplishment equal to helping a 95-year-old couple sell their home and move. “In cycling, as in real estate, I've learned you can accomplish anything Courtesy if you have a viable plan and are willing to follow it. You have to be prepared to make adjustments along the way — things change!” To contact Bob Andrews, e-mail randrews@willisallen.com or call (858) 459-4033.
