BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN La Jolla, already in the vanguard of scientific research, has become the hub of San Diego’s stem cell research community with the dedication of the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine (SCRM). The four-story structure on Torrey Pines Scenic Drive contains 150,700 square feet of space designed to support both focused individual and collaborative team research. SCRM is a consortium of five research institutions on Torrey Pines Mesa: Salk Institute for Biological Studies, The Scripps Research Institute,
Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, University of California, San Diego, and La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology. Scientists from the collaborating institutes will focus on basic science as well as pursue projects to invent tools and technologies to advance stem cell research with the ultimate goal to discover and develop innovative diagnostics and therapies for chronic disease and injury. Despite the building’s imposing size and science focus, the nonprofit SCRM is not a

Noting that it’s been more than two years since a La Jolla home sold for that much, she said it took three times on the market and 40 or 50 showings before a buyer showed up at the home at 1330 Inspiration Drive “who loved the house when they walked in and, shortly after, bought it.” The buyers closed on the property after a 90-day escrow, said Gellens, who with her daughter and

Kudos to Graeme Kudos this week go to Graeme, whoever he may be. We like the art he’s created on the electrical boxes on Silverado Street in front of the Brow Lounge and the Cinderella Shoe Clinic, but no one seems to know who the artist is or when they were done. We just like the fact that someone took the time, not just to beautify the otherwise obtrusive boxes, but to draw attention to local businesses at the same time. PHOTO: SUSAN DEMAGGIO.

Children’s Pool seal rope controversy has new twist By Dave Schwab daves@lajollalight.com With seals already bearing pups at the La Jolla’s Children’s Pool, the recurring debate over how to separate the mammals from beachgoers is shifting to a new venue — the California Coastal Commission. The panel is tentatively set to discuss an application for a year-round rope barrier across the beach at its March meeting, which will be held in Chula Vista. It’s also one subject on the Dec. 12 La Jolla Parks & Beaches Inc. agenda. On Dec. 15, with the “official” pupping season starting, the rope will be be reinstalled — as of now only until May 15 when the season “ends.” Phyllis Minnick, Parks & Beaches board member, says she’s concerned that “the city of San Diego has accelerated efforts to close the La Jolla Children’s Pool to human access” with the Parks and Recreation Department’s application to the coastal panel to extend the length of time the rope is up. Bryan Pease, an attorney representing the Animal Protection and Rescue League which has been fighting in the courts to require the year-round rope, said the March Coastal Commission hearing could be “the final step in the (rope) approval process.” He said not having a way to keep people off the beach has led to numerous miscarriages by seal mothers already this year.

He noted local government has been going back and forth on the issue with the City Council previously approving a yearround rope barrier, only to have the City Planning Commission rescind that decision. The commission has since weighed in claiming jurisdiction and now has put the proposal on its agenda. The prospect is distressing to Minnick and other beach access proponents who argue all Californians have a right to be on the beach. They contend “shared use” — the status quo — is working and there’s nothing “broken” about the current system that needs repairing. Minnick is imploring local residents who don’t want the rope barrier up all the time to send letters to the local Coastal Commission office at: 7575 Metropolitan Drive, Ste 103, San Diego, CA. 92108-4402.

Concours D’Elegance raises issues of park priorities By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com La Jolla Concours D’Elegance got the green light to go this spring from two community planning groups despite some members questioning whether a private event in a public park is appropriate. La Jolla Parks and Beaches and La Jolla Community Planning Association both signed off on the annual event, formerly known as the Motor Car Classic, which is a fundraiser for La Jolla Historical Society. It was started seven years ago by Promote La Jolla, which used to manage the business district. This year the event, which has always been held on the lawn at Scripps Park at the Cove, is set for March 31 and April 1.
“We shouldn’t be renting the whole (Scripps) public park out — some of it should be left open,” said Melinda Merryweather, a member of the parks group. Event promoters this year asked that they not be required to have a setback on Coast Walk, which they claimed causes “crowd cramping.” LJCPA trustee David Little warned against allowing private groups to monopolize the park. “That’s the problem, once you start renting public facilities out — there’s no end to it,” he said. “What if the Hell’s Angels wanted to come in and rent it out? Then you’d have a different attitude.” At least two planning group trustees asked what the event does to benefit the community.

John Bolthouse, the Historical Society’s executive director, responded: “The event last year cost about $135,000 to put on and we grossed $179,000 and 10 percent of the $43,000 leftover went to the Monarch School (homeless charity),” Michael Dorvillier, volunteer chair of the event, gave presentations before both community advisory groups. Noting admission is $40 at the door this year, $35 in advance, Duvalier said a real effort is being made to expand the free portion of the event while involving the business community in it. “Part of Prospect Street is being closed this year from Jose’s all the way down to the Cove for a festival area with 50 to 75 cars and vendors that will be free,” he said.

City delays ‘draft’ on kayak companies A Dec. 9 deadline to select qualifying companies for the 2011 Kayak Permit Request For Proposals process has been extended for at least 30 days, said San Diego Lifeguard Chief Rick Wurts. Three years ago, the city officials conducted a draft among qualified kayak operators in La Jolla Shores to limit the number of tours they were offering in an effort to rein in the activity, which was creating extra demands on lifeguards.

Wurts acknowledged the draft has helped lifeguards manage kayak traffic. He added demand on the boat launch ramp at the Shores has since increased, noting volume during the summer peak between Memorial and Labor days is up on some weekdays, as it typically is on weekends. A three-judge panel will assess applications in the kayak RFP process. There are presently six kayak companies operating in La Jolla Shores.

Working with Gravity Any sustained activity that works against the force of gravity is essential for maintaining bone mineral density. When bones are subjected to this strain against gravity, specialized bone cells called osteoblasts respond by building more bone. The more load or “weight-bearing” that is placed on the bone, the greater the bone building benefit.Therefore, high-impact or resistance workouts are the best and include running, jumping rope, aerobic dance, basketball, tennis, baseball, skiing, skating, stair climbing, hiking, and weight lifting. Walking, low-impact aerobics, and most cardio machines are good but not as effective. Because many people will begin to experience bone loss as early as their twenties, it’s important to focus at least part of any exercise program towards the development and preservation of bone strength. If you are new to exercising or have a pre-existing condition – a physical therapist can help you to prevent injury. Ability Rehab’s professional therapists specialize in training and rehab for a wide variety of sports and leisure activities. We will work with you to develop a plan that involves weight-bearing exercises you will enjoy. P.S. The bone-building benefit of weight-bearing exercise is site specific. For instance, running will build strong leg bones.

and sharing new perspectives and teaching strategies with my colleagues.” The five-year MfA SD Noyce Master Teaching Fellowship is supported through a $1.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The program offers comprehensive leadership training and professional development to experienced middle and high school mathematics teachers who currently teach in high-need school districts. Fellows receives an annual $10,000 stipend and rigorous professional development, including participation in a three-week summer institute and yearlong training sessions. Five additional Master Teaching Fellows will be selected for the 2012 program. Under the direction of Guershon Harel, professor of mathematics UCSD and principal investigator of the NSF grant, fellows review existing teaching approaches and curricula, and explore alternative, research-based teaching practices, including DNR (Duality, Necessity and Repeated Reasoning), a teaching methodology developed by Harel. The DNR approach works by simultaneously concentrating on a teacher’s knowledge of mathematics, of how students learn and on specific teaching methods.

Karate program builds stronger kids, schools By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com La Jolla Karate instructors are sharing martial arts lessons — and discipline with Bird Rock Elementary School students, all while helping out with fundraising. “It’s a way, with the huge budget crisis in California, to build stronger, better, healthier kids and raise money in our schools,” said instructor Nay Flinn, describing Life Lessons/Character Counts Program she was offering to a group of energetic students in the school’s auditorium last week. Nay said the program issues a karate “challenge” to kids to clean up their rooms or do something else responsible. In exchange, they can earn white belts when they’ve conquered those challenges. “One hundred percent of the money goes back to the elementary schools; we take none of it,” said Flinn. “This program builds strong bodies inside and out. Strong bodies on the inside by making good choices. Strong bodies on the outside with exercise and karate techniques.” “What we strive to do is not just teach the kids self defense and martial arts techniques, but how to be their best in life and build character, reinforcing what parents and teachers want to build: the whole person,” said Mark Truscott, who owns La Jolla Karate along with program director Ian Sheres. Parents paid $69 for the four-session program, making checks out to the BRE Foundation. Sheres said the program has already raised $4,500 for the school In the auditorium during a rendition of the Life Lessons program, Flinn introduced students to the discipline of martial arts. She taught them to bow and pay respects to instructors. Then she performed skits with student audience volunteers illustrating the right —

Dave Schwab photo and wrong — ways to greet people. “This is the first of four hour-long sessions,” noted Truscott. “The first sessions are about etiquette, the most important part that we start with, then we shift the focus at the end to martial arts exercises and techniques.” “We’ve done this life lessons program at 14 elementary schools and families are continuing to sign up,” added Truscott.

From houSe, a1 Prudential agent who represented the local buyers — La Playa LLC — said, “I think this sale, along with other high-end sales this quarter, prove that La Jolla’s real estate value is alive and well.” Rodger added that the buyers are “extremely astute business people” who have plans for “an extensive remodel of the property.” In terms of the market shifting a bit, a report released Nov. 28 by First Republic Bank showed luxury home values notched modest gains in the San Diego region in the quarter ended Sept. 30 compared to the second quarter, but were down nearly 4 percent from a year ago. “Luxury home prices in many California communities increased due to low inventories, low interest rates and home prices that have declined over the past few years. This has improved the economics of investing in residential real estate,” said Katherine AugustdeWilde, president and chief operating officer of First Republic Bank. “All three major metropolitan areas in California experienced gains in home prices in the third quarter, which is the first time that has occurred since the fourth quarter of 2010,” she said.
San Diego area values increased 1.1 percent from the second quarter and fell 3.9 percent yearover-year. The average luxury home in San Diego is now $1.63 million, according to the First Republic Prestige Home Index. Even so, buyers are still driving hard bargains and picking their deals carefully, agents are saying. In the case of the Inspiration Drive sale, the home was listed at a range of $13,250,000 to $15,000,876. It is located on what Gellens described as a “flat, gorgeous, 1-acre lot” and includes a theater room, wine room, game room and nine fireplaces. The walled and gated home has ocean views from some rooms, a seven-car garage and extensive landscaping and outdoor living areas. Gellens, who first listed the home at $19 million to $21 million in 2006, said the Ganes took it off the market for two years. When they tried again, they received an offer but decided not to sell. “They were reluctant to move,” she said. “They loved the home.” But when they put it on the market this time, they found buyers that shared their love for it and are happy about that, she added. — City News Service Contributed to this report.

Coast walkway moves forward
artist rendering By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Landscape architect Jim Neri thinks there should be more hardscape, fewer plants and a more streamlined design along the Coast Boulevard walkway plaza. With broad brush strokes, he painted a verbal picture for members of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches Committee on Nov. 26 of how best to remodel the plaza on the bluff overlooking Children’s Pool. The presentation followed by two months a public workshop on what the new look could encompass. During that workshop, local residents toured the site, filled out questionnaires on what they liked and didn’t like about its design, and brainstormed ideas for improving it. That day, Neri said the area is “more a plaza than a park and needs to be designed as such,” returning “this space to the pedestrians” while still accommodating the much needed parking. Neri’s draft plan for reconfiguring the plaza calls for creating one major, wider walkway with 12 feet of space broken up with loveseat-like benches allowing people to sit on both sides. “The idea is to have space for five people to walk abreast, where you can only get two
or three people to walk now,” he said. “We’d like to see this space move a little better.” One of his suggestions — to add shade trees to soften the look of the new Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower — was not favorably received by those hearing his plan. “That’s the only thing about the plan that’s inappropriate,” said Joe LaCava, a La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) trustee. “Trees will block views. We want to make this building as ionic as possible, and I think it should be as open as possible.” Neri proposed using succulents — aloes, agaves and other varieties of drought-resistant plants — that do well near the ocean. He noted the plan calls for moving tables used by competing seal and pro-beach activists off the main walkway so that passersby can choose to go by them or not. Committee member Sally Miller suggested any fencing or railing in the redesign not be made out of wood but stainless steel or some other more weather-resistant material. As he did with the public workshop previously, Neri said he would use the suggestions he heard at the meeting to fine-tune his design. Next, he will present a more fleshed out proposal to the planning group, likely early next year.

Signs posted to protect trees By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com A couple of trees in La Jolla Shores and an Australian Tea Tree at Scripps Park have been posted with no climbing signs to protect them, city officials said last week. “Staff has them posted for the long-term health of the trees in those locations,” emailed Stacey LoMedico, city of San Diego Park and Recreation director. “I requested the department’s arborist to evaluate the tree at Scripps, and he agrees with staff’s assessment that it is best to keep people off that tree.” Concern was expressed by at least one local resident, Baxter Carlson, who e-mailed the Light complaining that children have climbed on those trees for generations and that it would be a shame to lose that public amenity. City park arborist Mike Marika said the public is generally discouraged from climbing on park trees due to liability issues, and because some trees may be old and in ill health. But he acknowledged there is no enforcement policy or procedure in place to prevent trees from being climbed in. “It’s rare,” he said of signs being posted specifically prohibiting tree climbing. “There must be significant issues that they’re (city’s) concerned about from the health standpoint of the tree.

Historical Society wraps up series, opens ‘Homefront’ By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com The success of the year-long, 10-part “Contemporary Architects Making History” series sponsored by La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) portends things to come. “It was an extraordinary success, far beyond our expectations,” said executive director John Bolthouse. The series concludes at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 with architect James Alcorn’s lecture, “Can we save historical buildings and give them new life at the same time?” It will be held at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. “We thought people would show interest and enjoy it, but we had a packed house at every lecture,” Bolthouse added. As the architecture series winds down, a new World War II-era exhibition at Wisteria Cottage titled “Homefront La Jolla,” opened
If You Go • Homefront La Jolla • Now through Memorial Day • Noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays-Sundays • Admission free • Contemporary Artists Making History • 7 p.m. Dec. 15 • Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St • Members, $10, Non-members $15 Dec. 7 in remembrance of the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Bolthouse said this was the first time in recent memory that the Society has sponsored monthly lectures, a practice he said will continue into the future. “We’re not going to do a year-long one for
a while, but go back to thematic spring, summer and fall series, trying to pull together details like we did for “Homecoming,” including the speakers,” he said. Previewing his Dec. 15 presentation, Alcorn, who joined with colleague Paul Benton about 16 months ago to form Alcorn & Benton Architects at 7757 Girard Ave., said “we’ll try to relate passion to patience, and how the (building) codes help — or hinder — you in this (architectural) process.” Alcorn said he will include a slideshow offering examples of good — and bad — historical architectural redevelopment inside and outside La Jolla. The architect, who has had an office in La Jolla for nearly 40 years, said he’s optimistic about the future of the industry, despite the fact that increasing regulation over the years “has made it very difficult to make things happen.”
James alcorn
Nonetheless, Alcorn said his industry was well showcased by the historical society’s architectural series. “I learned a lot from other architects, seeing their point of view,” he said, adding architects are constantly challenged these days to “know the codes very well” so they can avoid pitfalls and “get the codes to work with us, instead of against us.”

From SanFord, a1 sixth research institute on the Mesa. Nothing duplicated “We are not duplicating anything that already exists in partner organizations,” said Edward Holmes, president and CEO of the nonprofit Consortium. Rather, SCRM is a collaborative laboratory space where biologists, ethicists, physicians, mathematicians, computational scientists, and engineers will work together under one roof with the aim to speed stem cell research and its translation to the clinic. “There is ‘something in the water’ that has made this area a more collaborative community,” said Holmes. Nicknamed the “Collaboratory,” SCRM is the only site in California where five institutions have joined forces to create a research facility supported by Proposition 71, the stem cell research ballot measure approved by state voters in 2004. When move-in is complete later this month, 330 researchers and associated staff will take up residence. Researchers’ rights The Consortium will hold no intellectual property rights or interests in discoveries, new techniques or therapies developed at SCRM. Researchers will retain those rights in accordance with patent law and the policies and procedures of their respective employer institutions. Designed by Fentress Architects of Denver, in association with Davis Davis Architects of San Diego, and Jacobs Consultancy, SCRM features offices, open labs, and specialized lab cores with advanced imaging, state-of-

the-art robotics, and protein and nucleic acid analysis facilities. Two-story break rooms interconnect on all floors, encouraging collegiality and unplanned “creative collisions” among researchers from various disciplines. “You cannot get from point A to point B without walking through someone’s space,” said Larry Goldstein, Ph.D., director of the UCSD Stem Cell Research Program and chair of the Sanford Consortium’s Scientific Steering Committee. Writing on the walls Wall surfaces throughout the building can be written upon, thus, ideas can be captured when and where they occur. Other major members of the construction development team included general contractor Hensel Phelps Construction Co. of San Diego; engineering firms Hope Engineering,
Project Design Consultants and Exp, all of San Diego; and landscape architect Civitas Inc. of Denver. The cast-in-place concrete structure, with adjoining conference center and café, features the latest sustainability innovations and is on track to achieve LEED Gold Certification. Natural daylight is optimized by opening spaces to views. The design also takes advantage of San Diego’s Mediterranean climate and ocean breezes to lower utility bills and improve the quality of the workspaces. Landscape design features include recycled and salvaged material used as part of a rainwater capture system and a water conservation strategy that eliminates any need for potable water for irrigation. Collaborative funding The $127 million center was funded in part with a $43 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state agency created to disburse $3 billion from Prop 71. The project also received a $30 million donation from T. Denny Sanford, for whom the Consortium is named. The Sioux Falls, S.D., philanthropist also has a home here. “If you want your philanthropy to have the greatest impact on society, you can make no better investment than funding basic research in the life sciences,” said Sanford. “And there is no better place to make that investment than here in San Diego and La Jolla.” At the building dedication ceremony, speakers acknowledged the important role that the community and patient advocates have played in bringing SCRM to fruition. “If you look over the specs for this building, you will see that it provides 150,000
square feet of physical space. As patient advocates, we see something more,” said Lorraine Stiehl, CIRM Patient Advocate Coordinator. “We see 150,000 square feet of hope.” Meeting of minds Twenty-four hours after its dedication, the SCRM conference center was front and center as one of two venues for Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa. Now in its sixth year, the two-day gathering featured a nationally recognized scientific symposium of leading stem cell scientists and researchers reporting on advances in the fields. Ultimately bringing stem cell research to the clinic will involve overcoming scientific challenges as well as regulatory and reimbursement hurdles. As stem cell discoveries are translated into marketable therapies, businesses in the area will also expand. With that in mind, this year’s Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa included a first-ever Investor and Partnering Forum exclusively for regenerative medicine. Business, academic researchers, and investors from around the world met in one-on-one meetings to explore strategic partnering. Attendees also heard panel presentations from experts on commercialization, regulatory, access to finance, business models, and reimbursement issues. “The horizon we see is near-term and incredibly bright,” said Greg Lucier, chairman and CEO of Carlsbad-based Life Technologies, a provider of systems, biological reagents and services for the research community worldwide. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Kory Kramer, Pacific Hospitality Group’s vice president of acquisitions and development, said Estancia “fit nicely into our portfolio, it’s a beautiful property, a great location, and we can continue to build upon the success of the hotel and get to the next level.” Founded in 1997, PHG currently operates seven resorts, hotel and properties representing more than 1,400 rooms and 90,000 square feet of meeting and event space including The Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa and The Doubletree Irvine Spectrum. Kramer noted Pacific “had both the equity and the debt to get the deal done, which is not easy in this market right now.” The Los Angeles-based real estate firm’s Destination Hotels & Resorts, which sold the hotel had operated it since it opened in 2004. Kramer said Estancia was an attractive property because it is a four-diamond hotel with 210 guest rooms and “a very generous amount of meeting and conference space with an indooroutdoor experience, not rooms with no windows.” PHG has “been wanting to get into the San Diego market for a long time, and Estancia presents a great opportunity to take advantage of that,” he added. The property features Spanish hacienda-style architecture

with lush gardens, courtyards, and outdoor seating areas across the 10-acre property. It includes three restaurants and lounges including Mustangs & Burros, the 8,000-square-foot Spa at Estancia and a 26,000-square-foot conference facility. The long-term ground lease with UCSD, which has another 55 years to go, was seen as a positive not a negative in the sale,
said Kramer. “A lot of hotels in San Diego are on long-term ground leases including the Lodge at Torrey Pines,” he noted. “It’s positive that we have a partnership with the university, which is one of Estancia’s largest clients for meetings. It’s a positive relationship we want to build upon even more.”

Community Leader’s view
By Joe Panetta President and CEO, BIOCOM I recently attended the annual meeting of a group in which I have participated for many years called the Council of State Bioscience Associations, or CSBA. Its members are life science associations like BIOCOM in most of the 50 United States. Some of the other CSBA members are somewhat close in size and scope to BIOCOM; others consist of one or two people who support fledgling efforts to create biotechnology clusters in states such as Kentucky and Oregon. After returning from the most recent meeting, I realized that these other organizations — many, unlike BIOCOM are backed directly by state economic development funds — continue after many years to envy the strength and stature of our Southern California life sciences community. Meanwhile, BIOCOM, its members and the greater community, having enjoyed the success of continued growth and diversity within our cluster, might take for granted what we have created. In Southern California, over 3,000 life science
companies and research institutes employ more than 97,000 people, making this one of the most concentrated and vibrant life sciences hubs in the world. The groundbreaking science conducted in this region ranges from stem cell research, genetic sequencing. The region’s products include drugs to fight diabetes, cancer and hepatitis, as well as medical devices that help make spinal surgery less invasive and those that scan the nation’s blood supply for infectious disease. Right now there are drugs in the late stages of development that would treat cystic fibrosis, superbugs and melanoma. Meanwhile, the region is emerging as a hub for companies that make fuel from alternative sources such as algae and jatropha. Despite the economic and regulatory pressures, we should never lose sight of our accomplishments here because it is a model for so many other regions: A hub of dedicated professionals who are bringing hope and relief to patients around the globe, driving down the cost of health care and finding alternatives to fossil fuels, while remaining a key economic engine.

weed blower ‘song’ less than desirable New songbird of La Jolla — the weed blower. I think the term “beating a dead horse” could well be applied to the overuse of these noisy, trashy, and basically useless polluting machines. I watch and hear tiny lots being assaulted for 30 to 40 minutes — two times — with these monsters. What are they doing? Is a leaf here and there now “socially unacceptable’? And then people wonder why their houses are always so dusty? Many areas of L.A. have actually banned their use, and I’ve read of “days allowed” type of plans, limiting the days each week for yard
great gig to have. The influence of people in this community who are constantly giving time, energy and money to make the world a better place for those less fortunate has inspired me to want to find some small way to contribute, too. I hope I can live up, in a small way, to the example they have set. Meanwhile, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. May you smile as you move into the new year. I know I will.

a thanksgiving i’m lucky to remember By ricK WilDman La Jolla resident
While decorating the Rec Center Christmas Tree, Jim Poirier invited me to join the “Dawn Patrol” for the annual Thanksgiving Day swim at the Cove. At 8:30 a.m. the surf was heavy with a 7-foot high tide, strong current and 59-degree waters. Not to worry. Even in a thin wetsuit and heavy surf I had swum out to the quarter-mile buoy many times. I eagerly raced to beat the next high wave. Within about three minutes I was fighting a strong current 100 yards from the shore. Just past the rocks the next wave was cresting. Suddenly, I was gasping for breath. No big deal, I thought. Then the cold hit, followed by the big wave. I was hyperventilating. My heart was pounding. I was quickly losing strength. I stopped to rest. I could barely tread water. I was gasping for breath when my swim buddy, attorney Bruce Beach, asked me, “How are you?” I replied, “Not good.” He asked, “Do you want me to bring you in?” I was in real trouble. I said, “Yes.” My friends onshore said that I was as stiff as a board, dead weight in the water. Dick Russell and another swimmer helped Bruce haul me the last few yards to the wall where the surf stopped. The whole experience took less than 10 minutes. My friends told me that I was white as a sheet for an hour. My speech was slurred. Bruce later told me that while he was dragging me in he could hear my heart beating over the noise of the surf. I am alive because I swam with my friends — not alone. I took a foolish risk. I was not prepared for the cold, rough water. Don’t make the same mistake. Hypothermia can happen fast. If you become disoriented and pass out you can suck water into your lungs. Then you can quickly sink to the bottom. Never hesitate to ask for help. I am here today because Bruce (an attorney like me) and my friends saved my life: The ultimate professional courtesy. I hope that your La Jolla Thanksgiving was as happy as mine turned out to be. Thanks friends!

‘Operation Santa’ helps families Press release UCSD students joined in on “Operation Santa,” an annual fundraising effort to help families in need all over San Diego County. On Nov. 29, members of the service-orientated fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, wrapped presents for families who have been nominated to receive food and gifts in time for the holidays. This year, they worked student organizations to raise enough funds to adopt more than 100 families “This year, it’s more critical than ever to help those in need. We received many nominations for families who are suffering from the tough economy,” said Alpha Phi Omega organizer, Miller Huang. “We can really see the positive impact of our work on these families when we deliver the gifts in person. I was fortunate enough to believe in Santa Claus and to have something to open on Christmas day during my childhood. I want to help as many kids as possible get the same experience.” Many of the “Operation Santa” families the fraternity helps are led by single mothers, including mothers who are victims of domestic violence, facing illness, experiencing the loss of a family member and others who are struggling financially.

Eight-time defending champs fall in semifinal thriller Plenty of action at USTA event in La Jolla Top-seeded Brett and Brian Joelson of Beaverton, Ore., the eighttime defending Father and Son National Hard Court champions saw their eight-year winning streak come to an end as they dropped a thrilling 6-7 (9), 7-6 (5), 7-5 decision in the semifinals to fourthseeded Peter and Tanner Smith of Los Alamitos on Court No. 2 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club during the weekend. Peter Smith, the head coach of the University of Southern California men’s tennis team and his 16-year-old son Tanner, fell in the Father and Son final to third-seeded Travis Rettenmaier of Las Vegas and Tom Rettenmaier of Fountain Valley, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. The top-seeded Joelson tandem were expected to make it eight straight, but fell short of the lofty goal. In a men’s singles final featuring two former touring professionals, second-seeded Oren Motevassel of Sunnyvale, defeated defending champion and top-seed Jeff Tarango of Manhattan Beach 6-4, 6-3, to win the USTA National 40 Hard
Court Championships men’s singles title. It was a year ago when these same two left-handed players met in the tournament final as Tarango dropped the first set of the 2010 title match before coming back to win the next two sets and capture the championship. After being awarded a USTA gold ball for winning the national championship, Motevassel spoke about the difference between losing last year’s three-set final and winning the title this year. “After last year I was kind of upset. I had the match. I was up a set and I was up a break. I just lost a little focus. “I was focused today. I had a good game plan and it worked fine,” Motevassel said. “I took the ball a little earlier. I put him on the defense more. Getting the ball more on the rise helped me a lot today.” Motevassel plans to return to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club to defend his title next year. “I plan to come back. I like coming here. It’s a nice place and a good venue. It’s fun to play here,” he said.

La Jolla Country Day comes up short in state title bid Three in a row was not meant to be for the La Jolla Country Day girls volleyball team. The Torreys took on El Dorado Union Mine at Concordia College in Irvine last weekend. On the line not only was another state championship, but a chance to three-peat for the Torreys. Country Day, however, fell in four sets to the Northern California champ, 25-18, 2927, 19-25, 25-18. The Division IV title marked the first state title in the 12-year history of Union Mine High. La Jolla Country Day’s run to the title game came after the Torreys lost several Division I players from last year’s team. Despite that, coach Peter Ogle and his team finished the season as state runners up with a more than respectable 33-9 record.

La Jolla Youth Baseball unveils new diamond anniversary logo By Tom murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball You only turn 60 once so it better be good, especially if we are talking about La Jolla Youth Baseball. LJYB recently unveiled a special logo for the 2012 season to commemorate the 60th Diamond Anniversary of LJYB. Nearly 600 players and coaches will be wearing vintage SD Padres jerseys this coming season and every one of them will be adorned with this logo on a patch on the left sleeve. The new logo has a nostalgic look to it and of course this diamond anniversary has to include an image of a baseball diamond. Baseball and nostalgia go together like a hand and glove. LJYB is actively soliciting nostalgic photographs and news clippings that cover the 60 years of youth baseball in La Jolla. Dr. Richard Small, a Bird Rock native now retired in Temecula, recently shared team photos from his 1952 Lions team and recalls playing on fields at La Jolla Elementary School where LJYB first started.
That photo will soon be posted on the La Jolla Youth Baseball Facebook page. Dr. Small was assisted by Leon Chow, owner of C&H Photo at 7720 Fay, who scanned the old photo for him and uploaded the image to LJYB’s digital photo album on Facebook. Leon is a LJYB parent and coach who generously offered to assist anyone who wants to share their baseball photos but may not have the scanning equipment, so feel free to pay him a visit. Bret Sandstrom is another LJ native who recently shared a 1971 La Jolla Light photo of his Bronco All Star Team in the stands of the Las Patronas Field. Most of the kids in that photo are still in town 40 years later. Please dig out those old photos and share them with the local baseball community. Registration for the 60th Anniversary season in 2012 is open until Jan. 11 but families are encouraged to sign up before the holidays so the league can better plan for managers and coaches, equipment and of course the popular Padres uniforms. Online registration is at www.LJYB.org.

UCSD falls short at Final Four UCSD came up short last weekend at the NCAA water Polo Final Four as the Tritons dropped their first match to UCLA 10-1, followed by a 9-7 loss to Princeton in the consolation game at Spieker Aquatics Center on the campus of UC Berkeley. The Tritons finished in fourth place at the tournament and ended the year at 17-11 overall while accounting for the most wins in a season since 2006, the last time the Tritons appeared in the NCAA Championship. UCSD finished fourth for the third time in school history. Down by two in the fourth quarter against Princeton, Josh Stiling scored consecutive goals to pull the Tritons even at 7-7 with 3:49 to play. However, Princeton’s Thomas Nelson answered with two scores in the final 94 seconds to hand the Tigers a 9-7 win. The victory marks Princeton’s second third-place finish in the past three years.

“I told the guys that the only way to feel better after losing to UCLA was to win this third-place game and obviously that didn’t happen,” UCSD head coach Denny Harper said. “We have a lot of studentathletes that are a little bummed out now. But, we’ll be alright.” The Tritons came out firing as Graham Saber scored twice within the first 90 seconds to take a 2-0 lead. Princeton clawed its way back, evening the score on a pair of goals by Drew Hoffenberg (The Bishop’s
School) by the 5:11 mark. Luke Syka put the Tritons up two minutes later and UCSD took a 3-2 lead into the break. Hoffenberg extended Princeton’s lead to two from five meters 29 seconds into the fourth after drawing the penalty shot. UCSD advanced to the NCAA Championship by virtue of its 15th Western Water Polo Association title. The Tritons downed UC Davis 8-7 on Nov. 20 to earn the WWPA’s automatic berth to the tournament.

In 1940, a 6 room Bird Rock home was advertised for $3750. Average price of a detached La Jolla home in 2011 - $1,787,947 (by the way, the average price the year before in 2010 was $1,629,281)

Have you thought of buying but find yourself reluctant to buy because of fear about where values may go? There are some amazing deals in La Jolla and interest rates are at record lows. Today represents the buying opportunity of a life time.

La Jolla doctor takes cause up Kilimanjaro
What brought you to La Jolla? My family moved to La Jolla from Boise, Idaho, in 1951 when my father took a job at Convair, a division of General Dynamics. What makes this area special to you? Today, it’s UCSD and the Salk Institute. They have brought a diversity and wealth of intellectual strength to our community that makes it absolutely fascinating to be here rubbing shoulders with some of the best minds in the world. Looking back, it’s the wonderful memories of growing up in a small coastal village before Interstate 5 existed, when there were few homes in the Muirlands, even less up by UCSD. We used to ride horses from the ridge tops of La Jolla down to the beach and tie them up to palm trees, or ride our bikes over to the Ready on Girard Avenue that sold ranch supplies like baby chicks, bales of hay, and leather saddles, or we’d walk over to the Pink Poodle ice cream

BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH When you ask a question of Dr. Anna Kulidjian, orthopedic surgeon and chief of the Musculoskeletal Oncology Unit at the Moores Cancer Center in UCSD (University of California San Diego), you’ll find yourself intermittently asking her to repeat the answer. The reason is not a lack of attention on the listener’s part. It’s not the slight accent that bares her Armenian roots. It’s just that Kulidjian answers with so much depth, detail and zeal that the listener sometimes has to hear it again to get it all. Kulidjian pours her passion and prowess into the matter at hand, whether it’s her research at UCSD, her patients, Anna her family, the environKulidjian ment, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or improving medical care for the Massai people of Kenya. For Kulidjian, it’s not a question of her countless interests, though she has many. She just believes all of them are connected in a big, almost spiritual, way. “I think that connectedness is what fascinates me,” she said. SEE DOCTOR, B6

t is one of the most beautiful compensations of life,” wrote transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson in the 1840s, “that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.” That warm and wonderful feeling Emerson describes is the good that comes from doing good. The Karma of the 21st century. As the year 2011 draws to a close, thoughts turn reflective, and the holiday spirit moves us to think of others. If you’re so inclined, here are 10 “others” that could use a little help for their work with people in need. ■ 1.

In 1862, in order to support the Civil War, Congress enacted the nation’s first income tax law. True. It was a forerunner of our modern income tax in that it was based on the principles of graduated, or progressive, taxation and of withholding income at the source. During the Civil War, a person earning from $600 to $10,000 per year paid tax at the rate of 3 percent. Those with incomes of more than $10,000 paid taxes at a higher rate. Additional sales and excise taxes were added, and an “inheritance” tax also made its debut. In 1866, internal revenue collections reached their highest point in the nation’s 90-year history — more than $310 million, an amount not reached again until 1911.

FROM DOCTOR, B1 “In my profession, I’m just connecting people to different specialists. That ability to look at something and learn that it’s connected makes life so much fun.” Kulidjian moved to La Jolla three years ago to develop an oncology unit for treating and studying rare cancers and tumors of the bone and soft tissue. Because of the numerous types of tumors and cancers, including malignant sarcoma, affecting the specific tissues, the highest risk of each occurs at different ages, ranging from teenagers to senior citizens. However, Kulidjian said the growths are so uncommon that they are often misdiagnosed, leading to incomplete procedures she calls “whoops” surgeries. “The complexity of it, the variables, is what makes it so fascinating to study,” she said. “Research has shown that it requires a population of 3 million to generate one surgeon (in the field). And that’s not enough for a training center. By being so rare, the whole thing is to centralize the treatment. I interviewed at various centers but chose this center because of its reputation. The care we can give and the research we can do all made sense to me.” The new unit has 11 staff members, including five specialists, that concentrate

solely on the debilitating disease and serve the region from Irvine to the Mexican border and as far east as Las Vegas, Kulidjian said. The doctor’s efforts to establish the unit earned her the Health Care Champions Award in the Health Care Staff category on Oct. 13 from the San Diego Business Journal, which recognizes achievements by local medical professionals and groups. “To be among those people is truly an honor,” Kulidjian said. “I was surprised really to be recognized but it’s great to bring awareness.” Kulidjian’s dogged determination is not merely a professional trait. This August, she and her husband, Ara, organized an expedi-

Kilimanjaro’s base. An ardent environmentalist, Kulidjian said she learned about the Massai and the clinic through an email about a program to preserve lions in the area. Having previously donated her medical skills in the Dominican Republic when she lived on the East Coast, Kulidjian spent 10 days at
the Massai clinic in 2010 to set up the trauma care, she said. She witnessed their needs first-hand, recounting a story of a pregnant woman who walked one and a half days to the clinic while carrying her 1-year-old child. The woman and child suffered such acute dehydration, Kulidjian said, that the woman had an infected kidney and both had to be airlifted to a hospital an hour away. It was through her first experience that Kulidjian conceived the idea to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. “The interest is there, so why not climb the mountain and raise awareness and funds?” she said. “The simplicity, affordability and sustainability of solutions are
quite astounding if you have one doctor (which they do).” Though the goal was set, Kulidjian said she was unprepared for the hardships and splendor of the climb. In fact, she had never climbed a San Diego peak beforehand, let alone the glaciers, crevices and narrow ledges of one of the world’s greatest mountains. “I never even owned a backpack until I did this,” she said. “I did Torrey Pines and thought I was going to die. Like life, when we’re almost there, we tend to think we’re not going to make it and turn back. You just need to take those few extra steps. My experience led to the realization that you can, that you need help to make it and at the end, there is this beauty that can change your life.” Like many aspects of her life, the experience has become a passion and Kulidjian said she plans to summit Mount Ararat or Mount Fuji in the future. However, she hopes the life she leads provides an example to her greatest passion, her three children. “I came back and felt the simple things are the most important,” she said. “A simple smile or a look in the eye. I honestly do it because I have a lot of fun and I really want to teach my kids to learn about the bigger world and not just their own personal ones.”

La Jolla Playhouse reveals three of the shows in new season La Jolla Playhouse has announced three productions for its 2012-2013 season: ■ The world-premiere musical “Hands on a Hardbody,” written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Doug Wright (“I Am My Own Wife”), Amanda Green (“Bring It On: The Musical”) and Trey Anastasio of the band Phish, with direction by Neil Pepe (“Speed-thePlow”) and choreography by Benjamin Millepied (“Black Swan”), April 27June 10, 2012 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre. “We are ecstatic to launch our new season with a project we’ve shepherded through the commission, reading and workshop phases and now to a full production on our stage,” said Ashley of “Hands on a Hardbody.” “This thrilling new piece offers a trenchant slice of Americana that explores the most exuberant and most troubling aspects of our competitive spirit.” The plot begins when an auto dealership in Longview, Texas, launches an endur-
between Achilles and Hector. But this storyteller points at something more. In this eye-opening version, the audience is on the front lines of every major war in history, reliving a futile struggle that has replayed itself over thousands of years and millions of lives.
If you go La Jolla Playhouse’s 20122013 season will include: ■ ‘Hands on a Hardbody,’ April 27-June 10, 2012 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre ■ ‘An Iliad,’ June 19July 15, 2012 in the Mandell Weiss Forum ■ ‘Glengarry Glen Ross,’ Feb. 2-March 3, 2013 in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre ■ Contact: (858) 550-1010 lajollaplayhouse.org ance contest and 10 economically strapped strangers embark on a journey that puts their hearts, minds and bodies to the test. The contestant who keeps at least one hand on a brand-new hardbody truck the longest gets to drive it off the lot. What initially seems like a mere publicity stunt soon becomes a soul-baring battle of wills. Only one can win, but for all involved, the truck

holds the key to their own private American dream. Based on the documentary film of the same name, “Hands on a Hardbody” features a rock, folk and country score. ■ “An Iliad,” a one-man
adaptation of Homer’s classic tale, reworked by Lisa Peterson (“Surf Report,” “Be Aggressive”) and Denis O’Hare (“Take Me Out”), from a translation by Robert Fagles, directed by Lisa Peterson, June 19-July 15, 2012 in the Mandell Weiss Forum.
In “An Iliad,” a poet appears from the back of the theater to re-tell Homer’s epic about the 10-year siege of Troy, with Greeks and Trojans locked in a brutal combat. It culminates in the heroic and ferocious final battle
■ David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Glengarry Glen Ross,” directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley, Feb. 2March 3, 2013 in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre. “Glengarry Glen Ross” is Mamet’s scorching play about a group of desperate salesmen in a Chicago real estate office. When a contest is announced to earn the new sales leads, the men resort to manipulation, bribery and even theft to keep their jobs. The Darwinian struggle that ensues is a stinging indictment of a culture that rewards the strong, punishes the weak and values success above all else. More information at lajollaplayhouse.org

Guests can enjoy fine dining in the main dining room.
Red Tracton’s: A traditional steakhouse for the horsey set and seafood lovers, too By Kelley Carlson ed Tracton’s is an old-schoolstyle steakhouse that exudes class. Perhaps it’s due to the dim lights, big red leather booths and tables draped in white cloth in the main dining room. Or maybe it’s guests in seats that intimately surround the piano in the lounge, as tunes ranging from Sinatra standards to pop music are played live five evenings a week. “You won’t find anything else like this around here,” owner Tracy Tracton said. “We’re unique to the area.” The family-owned and operated Red Tracton’s was originally established in the Los Angeles area in the 1960s. First located on La Cienega, it was near the Forum and Hollywood Park, which were at the peak of popularity. “It (Red’s) was a sportsman’s hangout back in the day,” Tracton said. After about 35 years, friends of Red — Tracy’s father — persuaded him to relocate across the street from the Del Mar racetrack, and the restaurant opened during the 1988 racing season. “He almost had a built-in clientele,” Tracton said. Many of the customers were horse owners, trainers and

Blackened Fish jockeys, and a number of them continue to dine at Red’s today. Subsequently, much of the decor is influenced by the establishment’s “regulars” and location — there are racehorses etched in glass, jockey statues, winner’s circle photos, including some of Del Mar Futurity victor Icecoldbeeratreds, named in honor of Red; and silks from Sid and Jenny Craig’s Epsom Derby winner, Dr. Devious. And naturally, the TVs found in the bar and in the Triple Crown Room (used for private functions) are often tuned to horse racing telecasts or other sporting events. Patrons will find an array of meats, seafoods and salads on the menu.
First-timers who love meat can’t go wrong with a full bone cut of prime rib, along with a gigantic baked potato and a Green Goddess Salad, Tracton said. Tracton emphasized that shrimp can be served several ways — blackened, golden fried or scampi style. And while there isn’t a children’s menu, Red Tracton’s is kid-friendly, she said. Entrees for the younger crowd include chicken fingers, hamburgers and barbecue ribs. “Kids love this place,” Tracton said. “They grow up here, then they bring them (their kids) here.” Happy hour and late-night bar menus are available, featuring items such as prime-rib sliders, onion rings and a Buffalo Chicken sandwich. Also, Sunday brunch is offered during football season only, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. She also emphasized that because the main dining room is fine dining, long pants are required on males. However, the lounge/piano bar and the Starlight Terrace are more laidback. “We’ve kept an old-school ambience and customer service, along with great quality food and large portions,” Tracton said.

Alice Waters bringing book to Rancho Santa Fe’s Chino Farm
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman Chino Farm, the cognoscenti of farmers’ markets in
our own Rancho Santa Fe backyard, has become a rock star in agronomy and is now a cookbook seller of famed chefs. In a nutshell, here’s the backstory and tasty upcoming events. Tom Chino’s studies at UC Berkeley were interrupted when serendipity came calling. He was forced into the family farm business to take over the reigns from his ailing parents, who began farming the land in
1947. He and a trio of siblings became devoted hands-on farmers, whose pioneering organic practices, revolutionary hybridizations, and five-star produce offered for sale at the Vegetable Shop put them on the gourmet map for the glitterati of foodies. Famous patrons include legendary restaurateur Wolfgang Puck, who first started using Chino’s gems to enliven Spago’s menu; Nancy Sil-

Although they initially focused on taking produce to Los Angeles, now you can purchase not only divine produce from Chino Farm — like Technicolor heirloom tomatoes, itzy-bitzy Brussels sprouts, exotic lettuces and sweet corn — but also gorgeous books signed by the famed authors. Chino Farm, in collaboration with seasoned bookseller Milane Christiansen, handling sales through her Vintage Works, will host a series of celebratory literary receptions to honor the foodies who elevated Chino’s to international gustatory status.

Silverton fans also sampled culinary collaborations with her recipes and Chino’s veggies — crostini made by Mozza chef Chad Colby, with Chino winter squash, sautéed bitter greens and smoked bacon, washed down nicely with flutes of champagne.

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 parlor on Silverado after school. Those of us who were fortunate enough to be here then had great fun. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I’d bring back the sea life we’ve lost in our near coastal waters. In the 1950s, the tide pools of La Jolla were teeming with different types of small fish, crab, keyhole limpets and so many other creatures I never knew the name of. Abalone were so plentiful that in high school the boys would dive for them offshore, come back and we’d slice, pound, roll them in Ritz crackers, then fry them in butter and lemon. Absolutely delicious. Who or what inspires you? My son and daughter, my grandchildren, my four sisters, my best friends — they all inspire me by showing me what a gift life is, that it’s not to be taken for granted. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? That makes a table for nine! Head of the table, Leonardo da Vinci, without a doubt, because he could chat up anybody at the table about their fields of interest. On da Vinci’s right, Fritjof Capra, then Barbara Tuchman, Galileo Galilei, finally me. On da Vinci’s left would be Anthony Storr, Deborah Tannen, Richard Feyman, and finally Margaret Mead. If I could sneak in a 10th guest at the foot of the table it would be Jacques Cousteau. I think he and
Margaret Mead would hit it off.
Submit announcements of engagements, weddings and anniversaries for publication in La Jolla Light via e-mail to sdemaggio@lajollalight.com A high-res photo of the couple (4x6 size) should be attached.
What is your most-prized possession? My small library of 100 or so books that I’ve read at least twice. I love my iPad for books while traveling, but sitting in a comfortable chair, holding a real book in my hands that I treasure re-reading, is like visiting with an old friend. What are you currently reading? “Brandwashed� by Martin Lindstrom (on my iPad); “Leading Minds,� by Howard Gardener; “Fresh from a Monastery Garden, Vegetarian Recipes,� by Brother VictorAntoine d’Avila-Latourrette (da Vinci would approve of this cookbook. He was a vegetarian). Describe your greatest accomplishment. Whatever it is — whether a new book, a magazine article, or replanting my vegetable garden — I give it my all, so when it’s done, I always feel that what I just finished is my greatest accomplishment. What is your philosophy of life? “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.� — Galileo
