La Jolla High bracing for budget news BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer It’s been nearly two weeks since La Jolla High School Principal Dana Shelburne submitted his “budget book” to the district office. Today, he and the other La Jolla principals may find out what San Diego schools Supt. Bill Kowba thinks of their ideas — and those of principals across the district who were asked to submit spending plans for their schools. Shelburne, in an interview last week, said each school was given a target number —per pupil, depending on the size of the school. He was given enough, he said, for 57 teachers and one principal and $733 per student “to buy everything else.” This year the staff includes 13 classified employees, 59 teachers, four counselors, two vice principals and Shelburne.

Planning group unanimous in call to open Princess Street access BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer La Jolla Community Planning Association trustees are urging that both emergency and public access to the cobblestone beach at the base of the home at 7957 Princess St. be restored. The advisory group, which makes land-use recommendations to the city, on Feb. 3 unanimously backed a motion by Trustee Devin Burstein saying the group “supports the restoration and maintenance of the historic full and open public beach access … and not simply ‘emergency lifeguard’ access.” to the beach below Ure and Dianne Kretowicz’s home. The action was to have been heard today when the California

preparing a letter for commissioners. He said a commission staff member told him the item was not likely to be heard until June. Kretowicz has been involved for years in a lawsuit he filed against the Coastal Commission in an effort not to dedicate a public access easement along his property. He also wants improvements and modifications made to the residence he now owns to be “grandfathered in.” “A requirement for an easement wasn’t on my property title,” Kretowicz has said. “I question what is historic access. A prescriptive easement was never granted. We have never agreed to granting a public easement.”

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer It might be the beginning of the end for “Rancho Relaxo.” That’s what Bird Rock residents have dubbed the house at 5460 La Jolla Hermosa they say is a nuisance to the neighborhood. Neighbors have been compiling a laundry list of complaints against a revolving door of tenants on the 900square-foot, single-family residence, whose landlord, they claim, has been operating it for years as a lodging and rooming house in an alleged violation of the San Diego Municipal Code. Recently, 18 neighbors banded together with the cooperation of San Diego Police, First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner and a host of

Blood,bone marrow drive celebrates what a difference a year makes

BY JEANIE SCOTT Contributor Just one year ago, Gail Chehab was watching her daughter Sydney undergo aggressive medical treatment due to a leukemia relapse. She could never have imagined that just 12 months later Sydney would again be cancer free and they’d be enjoying an afternoon of ice skating together. Sydney’s remarkable recovery is the inspiration for the second annual Blood and Bone Marrow Drive at The Gillispie School, to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 16. Last year, the teachers and administrative staff of the small school were eager to show support for the Chehab family, where both their children were students. Chehab explained the importance of blood and bone marrow donors for the treatment of cancer patients. Her 10- year-old daughter had had more than 30 blood transfusions. Sydney’s best hope for recovery was a bone marrow transplant. A sibling donor would be the best option. But if Max, Sydney’s older brother was not a perfect match, the doctors would search the National Bone Marrow Registry for a donor, she was told. Yet with only a 25 percent

Kudos to the Friends of WindanSea for the upgrade of the parking lot on Neptune Avenue between Nautilus and Bonair. This project was 18 years in the making with a goal to keep the beach area natural looking and preserve the bluff by moving the cars back. Project designer Jim Neri donated his time for the landscape design, the Coggan family gave the seed money to get the project started, and Scott Peters (who was the council representative at the time) found grant money and worked with the city on the parking lot.

Reprogramming cells can lead to errors Ethical issues concerning the use of embryonic stem cells is Lynne Friedmann driving research efforts to reprogram mature body cells for use in regenerative medicine. Now, researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies report that stem cells created from mature cells — called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) — retain a distinct “memory� of their former cell purpose.

Research Report

In addition, common reprogrammed errors were seen in the regions of telomeres and centromeres, structures that help direct how chromosomes divide. Evidence that iPS cells did not revert completely to an embryonic state begs the question: Could this limit their therapeutic use? Further research is necessary to determine if iPS can substitute for embryonic stem cells or if reprogramming technology can be improved to erase cell memory. The findings appear in the journal Nature. More information at http://bit.ly/gpjuCu. â– Skin cells to beating heart cells

A team of researchers from Scripps Research Institute and UCSD have converted adult skin cells directly into beating heart cells without having to first go through the time-intensive process of generating embryoniclike stem cells. Instead of taking mouse skin cells all the way back to a stemcell state — which is a process that can take two to four weeks — researchers initiated cell reprogramming, switched off gene activity after a few days, and then gave a signal to turn skin cells into beating heart cells in a lab dish in 11 days. Researchers hope the new method will overcome safety and other technical hurdles currently

More information is available at the website http://bit.ly/e14gLq. â– Different evolutionary paths of plants and animals As different as they may seem, both mammalian and plant cells need to be able to perceive small molecule hormones in order to respond to changes in the environment. In analyzing the molecular sensor for a plant growth hormone, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered that plants and animals took different

evolutionary pathways to arrive at similar solutions for receiving and processing incoming signals. The study provides the first documented example in plants of a particular “on� or “off� switch long through to be unique to animal cells. By defining common features in plant and animal receptor signaling pathways, researchers from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies hope to learn more about the requirements for a robust signaling system. Findings are published in the journal Genes and Development. More information is available at http://bit.ly/ffqKwE. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Two firms volunteer to fix SIO lifeguard tower CITY NEWS SERVICE Two San Diego firms are volunteering their time to fix up the lifeguard tower at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, city and UC San Diego officials announced on Feb. 3. Sundt Construction and Safdie Rabines Architects are working with city and school officials to repair the decaying structure as part of UCSD’s 50th anniversary celebration. Their contribution means the school will only have to shell out a small amount of money for the project. The tower is owned by the school but staffed by city of San Diego lifeguards. “The new lifeguard tower will have more efficient space with increased visibility and better public announcement systems that will help lifeguards perform medical aids and rescues,’’ said Rick Wurts, lifeguard chief for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. “These improvements are especially important at this popular beach. In 2010, lifeguards performed 84 rescues and 95 medical aids in this area,’’ he said. The building is tentatively scheduled for partial demolition next week, with completion of the rebuilding project scheduled for the end of April.

R.S.V.P. uses La Jolla locale in recruiting effort A La Jolla neighborhood became the backdrop for a photo shoot on Wednesday for a recruiting brochure for the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (R.S.V.P.) Traffic Division of the San Diego Police Department. Joseph Manno, an R.S.V.P. volunteer, who lives on Rue de Anne on Mount Soledad, played host to the session in the cul de sac near his house. Equipment and personnel from the Fire Department, the Police Department Traffic Division and the R.S.V.P. Traffic Division were on hand. The photos will be used in a brochure to help recruit volunteers for the RSVP Traffic Division, a force of 50 to 75 senior volunteers devoting 30 to 60 hours monthly supporting law enforcement. R.S.V.P. traffic volunteers field three to five patrols across the county daily between 6 a.m. and

midnight who perform a variety of tasks, including radar speed surveys, surveillance, traffic control, crash scene management and traffic hazard control. Other R.S.V.P. units handle other duties like vacation checks and promoting awareness community awareness of the program. To qualify for R.S.V.P. men and women must be 50-plus years old, in good health, fluent in English, possess a California driver’s license and be able to pass a standard police background check.

How to Improve the Odds of an Offer 1) Price it right. Set a price at the lower end of your property's realistic price range. 2) Prepare for visitors. Get your house market ready; remove clutter, repair minor problems, tidy the yard, clean everything, put higher wattage bulbs in light fixtures to brighten up rooms, make sure the entrance is enticing. First impressions count! 3) Be flexible about showings. It's often disruptive to have a house ready to show at the spur of the moment but the more amenable you can be, the sooner you will find a buyer. 4) Anticipate the offers. Decide in advance what price and terms you can accept. Ask your Realtor about different types of offers that might be expected. Ex: seller carry backs, lease options, buyer credits for repairs. 5) Don't refuse to drop your asking price. IF your home has been on the market for more than 30 days without an offer, you should be prepared to at least consider lowering your asking price. The market is telling you something.

FROM DONORS, A3 likelihood of success, Max was a perfect match. The La Jolla community generously came out to support last year’s drive, donating more than 50 pints of blood and adding 30 names to the bone marrow registry. “Blood is so precious that I’ve heard some cancer patients call it ‘red gold’,� Chehab said. This year’s Blood and Bone Marrow Drive will be a celebration of Sydney’s recovery. The Chehab family hopes The Gillispie School can double the number of blood donations and bone marrow registrations. Advance donor appointments can be made by calling The Gillispie School at (858) 459-3773. Walk-in appointments are welcome The Gillispie School is located at 7380 Girard Ave.

He added that “if I have to cut something else, I may have to cut someone who teaches a specific program,” although he would not specify which one. What, he wondered aloud, would he do without counselors? Or does he keep vice principals because they, like counselors, can double up as teachers? In 2008, the La Jolla High Foundation rallied behind its teachers and raised more than $100,000 to preserve several positions, and Foundation President Sandy Coggan Erickson said they are currently organizing an effort to pitch in again this year, although the goal this time will be to fill in the “supply-side” and technology gaps. She said two parents have agreed to head up the campaign, which will be announced within a few weeks. They also are continuing to hold regular

This year, each principal was asked to determine how to spend the money, even if it meant using the “everything else” funds to cover vice principals, counselors, nurses and other staff. The per-student allocation is based on a formula that calculates costs based on school size, with smaller schools receiving more per student, Shelburne explained. For La Jolla High, that allocation for next year is $3737.61; this year it was $4,032.38. Shelburne said the “system is itself is full of difficult issues.” Teachers must be notified by March 15 if there is a possibility they won’t be needed the following year. Then, seniority must be considered as well. Once you’re done counting heads, he said, you have to look at program cuts. “I believe we won’t see a

real dimunition in the students’ day-to-day experience,” the veteran educator said. “These are adult problems. The kids shouldn’t be part of the solution. We want their year to look like the last one and not for them to suddenly find there’s no auto shop.” Already, he has plans to take away added preparatory periods for things like supervising student government. Collecting five prep periods, he said, saves a teacher. In the end, he said, “Behind the scenes fewer people will be doing more work.”

FROM BEACH, A1

FROM HOUSE, A1

In ongoing negotiations with the commission, Kretowicz has proposed that the commission delete a requirement that he dedicate both vertical and lateral public access along his property in exchange for his paying $3.3 million to fund various public coastal access projects elsewhere as mitigation. The argument being presented by several longtime La Jollans is that a 5-footwide vertical easement along one side of the Kretowicz residence ought to be officially dedicated allowing public, as well as emergency, access from the Princess blufftop cul-de-sac down to the shoreline. Melinda Merryweather, a longtime member of La Jolla Town Council’s Parks & Beaches Committee who’s mapped beach access for the La Jolla Community Plan, contends Princess Street has historically provided public access to the beach all the way back to Native American times. She contends it should be restored “because we need to keep, improve, preserve and create new beachaccess.” She said in an e-mail last week that she would like to see stairs similar to those at

governmental agencies to bring a consolidated legal action against the property owned by the Blakely Nan M. Trust. A judicial decision on that case in Small Claims Court is pending. But San Diego Police Lt. Jim Filley told Bird Rock Community Council members at their monthly meeting last week the outlook on “remedying” the nuisance situation is positive and hopeful. “It’s a flop house with a commune-style environment,” said Filley, noting a police raid there several weeks ago revealed 11 people living on the premises, some in cars in the front and back yards. “He’s (homeowner’s) a hoarder so the inside of the house is a mess. He also has issues with dogs labeled vicious: He can’t get mail there anymore.” Filley said complaints on the residence stretch back 10 to 15 years. “There’s been virtually every kind of nuisance that you can imagine — noise, dogs; at one point they even had a senior citizen living in the garage with no electricity,” Filley said. “There have been rats and cockroaches moving through the property: It’s just been really challenging.” The Bird Rock community worked with Leo Wilson, director of Safe Streets Now: San Diego, to put together a case against “Rancho Relaxo.” “Safe Streets is a program where communities can get individuals to file petitions together for a small claims action seeking relief,” said Wilson. “The maximum reward per individual is $7,500. If this action is successful, the court could find that each of the plaintiffs is eligible.” In a statement of facts submitted by plaintiffs in their nuisance lawsuit in Small Claims Court heard Jan. 31, it was documented that the latest San Diego Police Department raid on “Rancho Relaxo” on Jan. 14, 2011, resulted in three arrests. One person was charged with felony possession for sale of several narcotic substances, including methamphetamine. Two others were arrested for parole violations. A letter from the City Attorney’s Office to the court noted the presence of “known convicts and drug users” loitering and staying overnight on the subject property. “I think we’re going to get a favorable verdict,” said Filley. “If he (owner) has the money, and I don’t think he does, it would be about a $127,000 verdict for the plaintiffs.” “I applaud you (community) for your efforts,” Filley added. “It’s a very courageous thing for people to get together and take an action. Oftentimes we (police) get told: It’s your problem, go fix it. This time it was ‘our’ problem. Anybody who lives next to a nuisance property that doesn’t go away understands how uncomfortable it can be.” “It’s a serious and significant safety issue,” said BRCC president Joe Parker. “There has been fighting, yelling and screaming at all hours of the day and night, extremely aggressive dogs, loud music, dilapidated cars … it just goes on and on. We’re tired of it.” Parker talked about they would like to see ultimately happen with the property. “We want him (owner) to sell his house and leave,” he said. “He’s made it clear he has no intention of changing what’s going on.”

Residents are asking for restored access to the beach area below 7957 Princess St. Swami’s in Encinitas built to lead to the rocky beach, where people are able to walk and enjoy the tidepools at low tide. On Feb. 3 at the request of planning association president Joe LaCava, Burnstein’s motion also included incorporating a request for an easement and public access through the Kretowicz property to the beach intoLa Jolla’s Community Plan. The motion also stipulated that, should the Coastal Commission grant the Kretowicz’s request to move the beach-access ease-

ment elsewhere, it should be somewhere along La Jolla’s coastline. Trustee Dan Courtney cautioned the group against making a hasty decision on an issue involving private property rights. “It’s a big difference allowing lifeguards emergency access with a key and a locked gate and allowing a public easement through someone’s private property where anybody can come down all the time,” he said. “We need to establish what type of legal access has been established in the past.”

Trustee Ray Weiss disagreed. “Letting the lifeguards go to the beach during emergencies is not public access,” he said. “Public access is public access. People have been going down there for years and the fact is public access has been encroached upon. The idea of selling public access is something I find unacceptable.” Lucas, speaking at last week’s meeting, noted the city Parks & Recretion Department a decade ago said they were unwilling to accept an easement across the Princess Street Beach property because they did not have the money to develop or maintain it. “The Coastal Commission is still reluctant to grant the easement if the city isn’t going to accept it,” he said. “The nice thing about it is the city would have up to 21 years to find the money to develop this site if we restore the public beach access — it’s a doable thing.” Also at the meeting, Erin Demorest of District 1 Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office said the city is exploring the viability of restoring public beach access at Princess Street.

UCSD hosts youth science events ■ ‘Nifty 50’ series spreads word on science careers

La Jollans filled the community room at the La Jolla Riford Library on Feb. 2 when Councilman Carl DeMaio held a Town Hall meeting to brief people on his ‘Roadmap to Recovery.’ His plan focuses on ways to balance the city’s budget and reform the pension with the goal of sparing city neighborhood services, public safety, road repairs and other city services from further budget cuts. DAVE SCHWAB

Fifty science role models — 30 of whom are from UCSD —have joined the “Nifty 50,” a speaker series that is part of the San Diego Science Festival. The 50 science professionals from a wide range of fields and backgrounds are visiting classrooms around the county to raise interest and awareness in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Life Technologies Foundation, a platinum corporate sponsor of the festival is the lead sponsor. The event kicked off Feb. 3 with a reception at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park for scientists, teachers and select students. The scientists are visiting middle and high schools to speak to students about the rewards and challenges of these fields, their own career paths and today’s “hottest” careers in science.

7 Facts About the Human Heart 1. Heart attacks and heart disease may be viewed as an illness that primarly affects men. However, women have more cases of heartrelated illnesses than men, and heart disease kills 500,000 American women, which is 50,000 more women than men.

2. A bigger heart isn’t necessarily a sign that a person is more inclined toward love. An enlarged heart is actually a medical condition, which can lead to heart failure. 3. A hearty laugh is good for the heart. This laugh attack can actually cause the lining of blood vessels to relax, enabling more blood to flow through for at least 45 minutes afterward. 4. Romantic endeavors in the bedroom can be as good for the heart as a brisk 15-minute walk. 5. A glass of wine can be good for the heart because of the antioxidant properties contained in grapes. Alcohol can also thin the blood, enabling better flow. Be sure to stick to one or two drinks per day. 6. The heart is a fist-sized muscle that can beat an average of 100,000 times every day. In under a minute the heart can deliver oxygen-rich blood to every cell in the body. 7. A woman’s heart beats faster than a man’s. In some cases doctors are able to predict the gender of a fetus by the baby’s heart rate.

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer The new director at California Sea Grant, James Eckman intends to “stay the course” at the marine research and education program based at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla. “I come into an extremely healthy, vibrant program and I have an amazingly excellent staff,” Eckman said last week. The statewide program supports "science-based management, conservation and enhancement of California's coastal and aquatic resources through research, extension and education," according to its website. “We promote a healthier, more sustainable interaction of the public with the coastal ocean,” noted Eckman, a biological oceanographer and longtime senior science administrator at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in Arlington, Va. “Jim brings a fine mix of stellar leadership James skills and excellent research credentials that Eckman will enable Sea Grant to continue its upward momentum,” said Scripps Director Tony Haymet in a prepared statement. “We look forward to a new era with Jim at the helm.” California’s is the largest of 31 sea grant programs nationwide in states having ocean borders. Before his tenure with the Navy, Eckman, 58, was a professor at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography in Georgia, and held adjunct faculty positions at University of Georgia and University of South Carolina. For the last 25 years, he has participated in kelp ecology studies on the West Coast. “I genuinely miss an academic environment and the stimulation of day-to-day contact with research, students and scientific colleagues,” Eckman said. “I have a sincere wish to apply my skills to research that can solve serious societal problems related to our oceans.” Noting Californians have a growing awareness that the ocean is “a complex system,” Eckman said they also “value tremendously the impact the ocean has on quality of life and the economy.” Eckman said projects investigating the alleged impact of global warming on ocean systems are among those supported by California Sea Grant. “We’re investigating the effect of changes in sea level, as well as ocean acidification from carbon dioxide,” he said. Admitting it will take time to get acquainted with Californians in his new role, Eckman said he intends to use his expertise and contacts to “engage a broader suite of federal partners” in promoting and furthering ocean research. “It’s a very healthy program and Californians should be proud of it,” he said of California Sea Grant. “It’s below most people’s radar screens. They don’t know it’s here. It’s a very valuable program.”

Originally purchased by the University of California system in 1967 for $2.7 million, as recently as July 2006, the UC Board of Regents had been considering spending $7.85 million in mostly private funds to rebuild the blufftop residence in La Jolla Farms.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Juice Kaboose getting into health foods Juice Kaboose is back on track. That’s what owner Michael Jelveh said about his 16-year-old business at 7556 Fay Ave., in La Jolla, that is evolving into more than a juice bar. “We no longer function as a smoothie bar — that’s how we started,â€? said Jelveh. “Right now we’re more of a health cafĂŠ. We want to be known as a healthy place to come and get your juices and food.â€? Besides the standard fresh fruit and smoothies, Juice Kaboose now serves a host of unique vegetable juices not to be found anywhere else, as well as a full sandwich bar. “Our sandwiches are meant to be low calorie, healthy,â€? Jelveh said. “We’ve got lots of vegetarian options.â€? Jelveh noted his health cafĂŠ does catering. It also offers handpicked healthy

snacks that are organic, gluten free or low calorie. Juice Kaboose is known for its acai energy bowls which serve fresh fruit topping pudding-like acai. “It’s very popular among students, surfers, people who want to have a meal replacement either for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s very filling and full of antioxidants and vitamins," Jelveh said. The latest addition to the Kaboose’s repertoire of fruit and vegetable offerings is Pitaya, the so-called “dragon� fruit of a cactus. Another house favorite is certified organic wheat grass juice. “We have the lowest price on wheat grass and we do a lot of wheat grass shots,� noted Jelveh. Juice Kaboose is on the verge of embarking on a couple of new ventures. “We’re about to franchise, partnering with a name celebrity,� noted Jelveh,

A Juice Kaboose employee prepares an order. DAVE SCHWAB who added he’s also getting into weight-loss management. “We’re going to start a weight-loss program designed by a nutritionist and a weight trainer,� he said. “All the ingredients come from fresh-squeezed juices with calories and carbohydrates kept in line.� Juice Kaboose is open 8

a.m. to 7 p.m. in winter, an hour later in summer. There is a food court immediately behind the health cafĂŠ so there is always seating available. Those who want to can order ahead for quick pick up. For more information call (858) 456-9300 or visit www.juicekaboose.com.

iPhone app guards privacy of photo data BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer La Jolla resident Ryan Kairer, an independent Web and mobile developer, has developed deGeo — a photo-sharing app that protects iPhone and iPad users’ locational privacy. The app helps to guard personal privacy by removing the built-in location information — geotags — embedded in photos. The data shows the latitude and longitude where a picture was shot, which while useful to the user may not be such a good thing for those who receive the photos to have. “It is very trivial for anyone with a little bit of com-

puter understanding to view the geotags,� he said via e-mail. “For instance one could scan a someone’s Twitter account for photos and in under a minute find their precise address or location on a Google map, tell that they are away from home, etc.� Kairer, 31, added that “the inspiration for deGeo came about as I think geotags are a hidden privacy issue with rather serious implications that has not received much attention. I would wager that most of the public is not aware that most modern smart phones (iPhone included) records and embeds your precise GPS coordinates (latitude

and longitude) within each photo.� He said he wanted to simplify sharing photos on the Web and also to raise awareness about this issue in general. Kairer’s business got its start with the website PalmInfocenter.com, which he described as “the leading source of news exclusively covering Palm Inc. PDA's and handhelds computers, and nowadays smart phones.� For information on geotagging and privacy, he pointed to the San Diegobased Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, www.privacyrights.org/geotagging-privacy.

Trattoria Acqua closes after 17 years BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Trattoria Acqua Italian restaurant in the Village, which nearly shuttered its doors a year ago but remained open due to an 11th-hour lease agreement, has closed again: This time for good. “They worked out a year’s lease with a five-year option and they didn’t exercise their option — their lease is up at the end of the month,� said landlord Don Allison of restaurant owners Michael and Victoria McGeath, who operated Trattoria Acqua for 17 years at 1298 Prospect St. “It was a great run but everything has to come to an end,� said Michael McGeath. The restaurant closed on Jan. 31 after the final meal was served. “The lease came up and we decided to move on. We just decided we want to relocate somewhere else. We don’t know yet where.� McGeath said his family is looking at opportunities that might be available to lease restaurant space elsewhere. “But we’ve made no decision yet,� he said. “Hopefully, people will follow us to where our new location is, wherever that may be.� One loyal customer, Chuck Buck of La Jolla, wrote in an e-mail on Feb. 2: "Quite a sight this after-

The awning came down after Trattoria Acqua closed on Jan. 31. CHUCK BUCK noon. Quite sad, actually. A charming one-of-a-kind restaurant with a knowledgeable wait staff, excellent wine selection and a refreshing take on traditional Italian dishes. I will miss her quaint interiors, fresh crisp linens, and a rustic patina that graciously aged in a charming and captivating manner." McGeath intimated tough economic times factored into his decision to leave. “The recession has affected everybody in La Jolla all the way down the food chain,� he said. “Tourist business is down. The hotels aren’t doing a lot of business.� The restaurant was set to go out of business in March

2010, but reconsidered after coming to terms with landlords Allison and Bill Zonker. At that time, the McGeaths credited the loyalty of locals for their decision to remain in La Jolla Village. After that, McGeath, who co-owned the Italian restaurant with wife Victoria, attempted to reinvent his business, which he described as “American-style� Italian, by going back to being a full-on Italian restaurant and taking his menu back to what it was when the couple started their business. “We’d like to thank the tens of thousands of people who supported us over the last 17 years,� McGeath said.

Bird Rock farmers market a promising idea OUR VIEW While the details have yet to be finalized about plans for a farmer’s market in Bird Rock, we like the idea and hope that it gets a fair airing as it moves through the community approval process. Bird Rock residents have to journey north or south to find a grocery store so having a market set up in the immedi-

ate neighborhood for a few hours each week makes sense. It might just keep a few cars off the streets — or at least shorten the amount of driving some residents do. It’s especially appealing in that it stands to benefit Bird Rock Elementary School, which like all of our other public schools, is bracing for more cuts this year. The La Jolla Open Aire Market, which benefits La Jolla Elementary,

set the precedent locally for the concept. No harm in sharing the wealth, we think. The proposed location — on Mira Monte near the La Jolla Methodist Church — has some advantages in that it’s visible and a place with easy access. It also has potential to be a nightmare if it’s not carefully planned. We also hope that this is a true “farmer’s market” full of lots of wonderful foods, from

organic and locally grown fruits and vegetables to things we can’t find in our markets. We’re not looking to bring a swap meet to Bird Rock. We’re hopeful that Catt Fields, who operates markets in Normal Heights, North Park and Little Italy, will be sensitive to neighborhood concerns about parking issues and noise as she works with the people who want to bring the market to Bird Rock.

Muirlands shows off at open house COMMUNITY LEADER’S VIEW

PHYLLIS PFEIFFER Publisher

www.lajollalight.com

The recent open house at Muirlands Middle School was a big success. The auditorium was filled with over 150 parents of (mostly) fifthgraders who will be attending Muirlands next fall. Principal Chris Hargrave did a wonderful job explaining the ins and outs of Muirlands through a slide presentation. Teachers Luke Lundmark, Althea Jones and Julie Latta gave up their lunch hour to talk academics at the school and the school as a community. Mr. Lundmark brought along three of his ASB students: Adana McWhinney, Austin Bello and Karla Quevado, who shared what it is like being a student at the school. “Their experiences seem to be, overall, happy,” said Kyle Katz, the mother of a fifth-grade boy. “They discussed some of the challenges most all kids experience with change and described how they managed to get through it (such as getting up at 6 a.m.).” The principal, teachers and students stayed after the presentation to answer lots and lots of

questions. The auditorium looked great because of the school's custodian, Mark Hennessy. The large village of Muirlands parents brought in salads, sandwiches, desserts and drinks so that everyone had a lovely lunch. “The teachers who spoke to us seemed very connected to the students and assured us they would be available to us to navigate anything that might pop up,” Katz said “The school itself provided an accommodating environment and lots of open space.” After the presentation, current parents took smaller groups of visitors on a tour of the campus. Several of the parents who attended the open house were appreciative that they had received so much information about the school and were really glad to have had the opportunity to walk around the campus and see what it looks like on a regular school day. "I was impressed by their commitment to communication with parents: online grades, eblasts, teacher emails, parent-friendly campus, etc," said Sandra Munson, whose daughter will go there in September. "Another bonus: one hour of P.E. a day!" Natascha Vossen serves on the La Jolla Cluster Association and has a daughter in sixth grade at Muirlands.

County jobs outlook on slow mend MARK CAFFERTY President and CEO San Diego Workforce Partnership

COMMUNITY VIEW While we feel certain that regional unemployment will improve in the year ahead, and we feel equally confident that we will see hiring pick up in most industries across San Diego County, we should still be prepared for years (not months) before full economic recovery surrounds us. This was pretty much the message we took to the 2011

San Diego Economic Roundtable held on Jan. 28 at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego. Hosted by the County of San Diego, the San Diego Economic Roundtable is the longest standing forecasting event of its kind in the county. More specifically, San Diego’s unemployment rate remains at 10.1 percent and we can expect to see this slowly decline throughout the coming year, first dipping below 10 percent in January/February and reaching an even 9 percent around October/November. While this is a long way from the years of

3 to 4 percent unemployment enjoyed by our region, it is still a clear signal that jobs are being created. Across all industries we expect to see 15,000 to 18,000 new jobs added throughout the year. We need to maintain this rate of growth for at least another four years before seeing the levels of employment and job creation that were the norm in 2006/2007. Despite some improvements we still have sections of the county where unemployment is closer to 20 percent, and sadly for many of our military

far, they’ve been mum on many of the details but we hope they’ll be forthcoming soon. Meanwhile, let’s see what comes of the plan, ask intelligent questions about it when it gets to the Traffic & Transportation Board and the La Jolla Community Planning Association. Then, if it comes to fruition, give it our support as we have, and will continue to support the Open Aire Market.

The fight for civics The Dreyfuss Initiative, founded by Encinitas resident and Academy award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss, seeks to revive Marsha and expand the teaching of Sutton civics in our public schools. There’s nothing like some major star power to bring a lot of resources and attention to a worthy cause. Begun in 2006, The Dreyfuss Initiative is a nonprofit organization focused on the pressing need for young people to increase their understanding of U.S. history, the principles of American democracy, founding documents, the workings of our country’s government, and the importance of civil, rational discourse in a free and democratic society. “America is a miracle, and only Americans don’t know that anymore, because we don’t teach it,” according to TDI’s mission statement. Since his organization’s inception, Dreyfuss has been speaking regularly and passionately about the need for more civics awareness in public education.

Words of praise, hope LETTER TO THE EDITOR We want to acknowledge the efforts of folks from the community who have stepped for ward to help establish the La Jolla V illage Mer chants Association (LJVMA). The business community owes its appreciation to the three formative working groups. Maureen and I want to direct special thanks to the Bylaws W orking Group. This group has met for more than 30 hours to write and critically refine this important 12-page document. La Jolla needs more organized special events, advertising, and promotion. W e are sad to see that this past month a half dozen businesses have ceased operations, including T rattoria Acqua and Cafe Uropa. We note that almost no one came to the village from the PGA tournament last week. We hope that LJVMA can bring needed improvements to beautify and ener vate the Business Improvement District.

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

Physician’s warning:Playing with ‘magnet balls’ carries dangers shapes and even strung end to end in a necklace. Apparently, some of the students have been "playing" with them and placing one on the top of the tongue, and one on the bottom of the tongue in order for it to appear as if their tongue were pierced. Some students have been placing them on their braces way back in their mouths to avoid detection at school. The problem is that in playing with them in this manner, some students have also been swallowing these magnets. Swallowing one or two at a time when they are stuck together is probably not too much of an issue, but the problem comes if multiple magnets are ingested at different times. As these magnets traverse the intestine and lodge in different parts, they can attract

each other across the intestinal wall, trapping the bowel between them, and cause obstruction and even perforation. There are many reports in the medical literature of just such occurrences and in most of the cases surgery was required to remove the magnets and repair the intestine, and there have even been a couple of deaths reported. If a young man or woman swallowed multiple magnet balls with intervals of hours or days between then they should see their doctor. If abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or fever occurs in the setting of swallowing multiple magnets don't wait, go to the emergency department. I thought it would be wise to spread the word that these magnets should never be placed in the mouth or nose for any reason in order to avoid a possible ingestion, and some serious complications that can ensue.

and wonder to children of all ages.

Who doesn't love the La Jolla seals? I found out for myself after making a pro-seal comment to my daughter at Casa Beach, only to find an angry and militant anti-seal supporter telling me how wrong I am. As a long-time San Diego resident and writer of a San Diego tourist website (www.localwally.com), I was angered that we've let the seal debate mutate to the level of provocation and insults. The anti-seal supporter was clearly trying to start a fight or cause a scene and would not back down until I left. This isn't right. I have no problem with people stating their views in a peaceful manner, but aggressive and antagonistic behavior should not be tolerated. I've since contacted the groups who support turning Casa Beach into a

marine mammal reserve and learned of some of the tactics the anti-seal group have been using ‌ I've also learned that the anti-seal group is actually a small group of elitist individuals who want their dive spot and swimming area back and who, unfortunately, have great influence on the La Jolla planning committee and La Jolla Town Council. But imagine if the anti-seal group (or as they like to be called, "probeach access") got their way. What do we gain? What do we lose? Will San Diegans be happier that this group got their 200 feet of beach back, or will we wonder how lost such a unique local treasure? It's time for the mayor and our elected officials to take a stand to protect one of San Diego's most precious natural attractions. Ellen Browning Scripps might have dedicated the sea wall to the children of San Diego, but I doubt that if she were alive today that she would support the antics of the anti-seal activists nor the removal of a resource that brings so much joy

FROM EDUCATION, A18 Since his organization’s inception, Dreyfuss has been speaking regularly and passionately about the need for more civics awareness in public education. Americans, Dreyfuss said on Fox in November 2008, are not bound by race, religion, geography or heritage. “We are bound only by ideas,� he said. “And if you don’t teach those ideas, we are not bound.� On Jan. 17, Dreyfuss hosted “It’s Time for a Talk: The National Conversation on Revitalizing America’s Civic Future.� Two sets of panelists, one in San Diego at the University of San Diego and the other in Washington, D.C., as well as education historian and author Diane Ravitch

in New York, were linked through a Webcast, with live broadcast coverage provided by C-SPAN. At the event, Dreyfuss spoke about the deterioration of civics education in schools and the need for more active engagement of citizenry if we are to preserve our unique democracy. “We have removed those classes from almost all of our public schools,� he said. In place of understanding and appreciation for the unique freedoms America offers, we now have “common senselessness, apathy and ignorance.� Dreyfuss said that people who have come to America from other countries — places where oppression, tyranny and abysmal poverty limit access to opportunity and liberty – under-

Think before you complain about helicopter noise COMMUNITY VIEW

I found myself deeply disappointed and sad when I read the front page article about "Bird Rock neighbors getting support fighting helicopter noise" I live on the coast in La Jolla, and while I wouldn't call helicopter noise my favorite sound track I tolerate it and this is why: Every time I look up at one of those military helicopters (usually unable, due to size to really travel too close to the coast line but none the less are loud helicopters) I find my heart strings get tugged just a little bit. I think about how the people who are on that helicopter are fighting for our country and putting their lives on the line for us and while it must suck for them to fly over people on the beach having a good time while

they are out working on one of those gorgeous San Diego days, their comrades are flying over desert and enemy territory, in harm’s way, for us, where they themselves, will more than likely soon be. I'm sure once they're over the dangerous terrain of the Middle East, they daydream about days flying over the friendly San Diego waters. It's sad to me that people who live along the coast, (which let’s face it,) in million dollar properties, can't stop and check themselves and think twice before they complain about an inconvenience of noise for those who sacrifice EVERYTHING for us and our cushy lifestyles. If one chooses to take the time to complain about air noise along the coast, think of taking it up with someone who isn't putting their life on the line for you.

BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer It's been a long time since the La Jolla High School wrestling team captured a championship of any kind. That changed this season as the Vikings won the Western League title and now set their sights on even a bigger prize. At the start of the season, coaches Ryan Lindenblatt and Ryan Lennard knew this team had a chance to be good given the return of several quality wrestlers. However, getting the wrestling program back on track has taken a bit of work. "We're trying to teach the freshmen, teach the parents and trying to educate the community as well as teaching our wrestlers how to compete in the sport," said Lindenblatt, now in his fifth year with the team. It wasn't that long ago when the Vikings were simply unable to get many wrestlers to come out for the sport and had high turnover with the coaching staff. Now with experienced coaches in place, the wrestling team at La Jolla is starting to get noticed. "So far we are league champions," senior Kirk Lee said. "As a

Knights win another tournament BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer The Bishop's School's girls water polo team captured the team's second tournament win of the season last weekend as they cruised by the competition at the San Diego Open. The Knights capped the tournament with a 10-4 win against Torrey Pines. Jessie Webster and Kristen Casey led the scoring with three goals each. Casey, Webster, Claryann Olofsson-Loo, Gabby Stone and Erin Pannek were all named to the All-Tournament team. The team's most impressive win came against Valhalla in the semifinals. "We had the best game of the tournament as 10 different girls scored," head coach Doug Peabody said. The Knights won the semifinal match, 20-3. SEE SPORTS, A21

Hall of Champions honors local high schoolers Three La Jolla high school student-athletes were honored this past week by the San Diego Hall of Champions. Anthony Paolucci, a La Jolla Country Day senior who is headed to USC, topped the list of high school honorees. He shot four rounds of par or better golf to finish in a tie for 29th after getting an amateur exemption to the Farmers Insurance Open.

Others gaining Stars of the Month honors were La Jolla Country Day girls’ basketball sophomore Kelsey Plum, and Bishop’s girls water polo player Jessica Webster. Plum, who played most of the month of January with a facemask has helped the Torreys to a 20-4 record. Webster has helped the Knights to two tournament wins this season.

Bumper To Bumper

Dave Stall

Q. Anonymous: Gas prices are killing me — can I run 87 octane gas in my car that requires 91 octane gas? I was told that it would do damage to the fuel injectors. I drive a 2002 Corvette in case you were interested.

A. Dave: If the vehicle requires 87 octane, you need to run 87 octane. If it requires 91, you need to run 91. The car’s computer modules communicate with each other and adjust when the vehicle is not within its parameters — and your emissions and fuel mileage will be affected. Wash and wax your car, inflate your tires to their maximum requirement, drive like you have an egg under your gas pedal, avoid excessive lane changes, do a fuel injector service every 30,000 miles or sell your Corvette and buy a Hybrid! Q. Leroy: I just noticed after the last rain storm that my left-turn signal light on my dash flashes faster than the right side. The emergency flashers work fine. Is this something I should be concerned with? Could I fix it myself? Sorry for all the questions — money is tight. A. Dave: Most likely your left-side turn signal light bulb is burned out. It could be either the front or the rear. Turn on the ignition and flash the left side and walk to the front, then to the rear and see which one does not flash. Yes, you should be able to replace the bulb yourself, but if you can’t it shouldn’t be a costly repair. If you go it alone, make sure there is no water in the lens that has the burnt out bulb. If you find water in the lens, this may be the problem. Seal the outer edges of the lens with silicone or replace the gasket if it comes with one.

!

Q. Bill: I would like to learn how to replace the brakes on my truck. How hard of a job is it? The price at repair shops is outrageous. I have seen the brake pads — how difficult can it be? I have changed my own engine oil, replaced wiper arms (which was a task), so any help you can give me would be appreciated. A. Dave: Dave: Since you have never done a brake job, it could be a little difficult for you, but the real concern is the safety of others. If you don’t do the job correctly and the brakes fail, you could be endangering yourself and others — not to mention damaging your vehicle and whatever you may hit. That would offset the savings of doing your brake job yourself. I would recommend stopping by a garage and asking the manager if you could observe a technician doing a brake job. Don’t be offended if he says no. You would be taking business out of his shop and also there is the insurance issue. The other problem with doing the brake job yourself is having the tools for removing the rotors and measuring them to see if the thickness falls within the federal safety standards, and then taking them somewhere to have them cut. Last but not least, if a shop does the work and something fails, at least you have a warranty! Q. Frank: I have a Toyota Tundra with 140,000 miles on it and I was concerned about the timing belt. Should I change it now or wait? Please let me know so I won’t get into any engine trouble. A. Dave: It depends on which engine you have under the hood. If it is a four-cylinder, it has a chain and there is no recommendation to change it out. If you have a V6, it has a belt and needs to be replaced at 120,000 miles. Good luck!

La Jolla High soccer starting to break away in league play BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer New season. New coach. Better results. The La Jolla High School boys soccer team has experienced a major turnaround on the pitch this season, and as of Monday, the team was in first place in the Western League. Not a bad place to be for the Vikings (9-4-3 overall, 5-0-1 Western League) considering the team only notched two wins all of last season. The changes at La Jolla started at the top as the school hired long-time soccer coach Tony Bruno. Bruno, a native of Scotland, has strong ties to Southern California as he’s led La Costa Canyon to a CIFtitle and has coached several years in the Los Angeles area. “It’s a new system,” Bruno said. “They are all kinda starting with a fresh canvas and it took a little bit of time to adjust to what I am used to doing.” The team got off to a slow start, winning only one of its first seven Bruno DaMatta tries to dribble past a Kearny High games. But since Dec. 16, the Vikings have been unbeaten with a defender last week at La Jolla High School. 8-0-1 record. PHOTO AND ILLUSTRATION BY PHIL DAILEY “We have a lot of seniors and a David Beary and one each from Jose Ibarra lot of guys who know each other pretty well and Lawrence Cook. and have kinda come together as a team As the team moves forward, the goals and really this has been the reason they have done pretty decent,” Bruno said. “They have still stayed the same for the long-time coach and his upstart team. are willing to fight for each other, play as a “If we can make the playoffs and make a team.” good run, I’ll be happy,” Bruno said. The team’s offensive skill was on display The team’s next game is today at 3 p.m. last week as the Vikings routed visiting against University City at La Jolla High. Kearny, 4-1. The Vikings got two goals from

La Jolla edges Cathedral Catholic BY RICK LEBEAU Special to the Light The season may appear to be winding down for most high school girls’ water polo teams, but it’s still heating up for La Jolla Vikings and Cathedral Catholic Dons, who are vying with Coronado to take down this season’s favorite, The Bishop’s School, when CIF playoffs start just after Valentine’s Day. While Bishop’s has appeared dominant this season, the Vikings, Dons, and Islanders have been scrapping for bragging rights and seeding positions. Having both recently defeated Coronado decisively in recent weeks, La Jolla visited the Dons on Wednesday, Feb. 2. Facing mostly outside shots, goalies Stevie Schweighardt for the Vikings and Jilian Wilding for the Dons kept the game close, with the score knotted at three as the first half came to a close. In the third quarter, La Jolla showed more energy, but the game remained a defensive battle, with coaches Bret Ormsby (Dons) and Dante Laghetto (Vikings) trying to figure a way to give their team a match-up advantage. With the game tied 5-5 in the fourth quarter, La Jolla was able to put the game away

Cathedral’s Rachael Rosi defends against La Jolla’s Amy Wright’s shot. JON CLARK with the final two goals. Sarah Young scored the insurance goal in the 90 seconds, locking up the win for the Vikings. The teams will meet once more this week at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex on the La Jolla High campus.

Cindy Greatrex leads the charge to make The Gem its own city Cindy Greatrex is the president of Independent La Jolla, a community organization comprised of citizens united by the desire to best preserve La Jolla’s great historic and environmental jewels via selfgovernance and lessened reliance on the Cindy Greatrex City of San Diego. Greatrex is active in the field of telemedicine, an application of clinical medicine where patients in war-torn or geographically remote areas receive immediate medical diagnosis. She also the executive director of a foundation focused on assisting children in need of cochlear implants, via fund-raising, technology research and regulatory support. What brought you to La Jolla? La Jolla is an internationally recognized hub of medical technology research, which interests me both professionally and personally. We have the Salk Institute and abundant medical research facilities along the Torrey Pines corridor. As example, next month I am attending the Comprehensive Stroke Centers of Excellence conference in La Jolla. It is a global event and most participants are flying in from far and wide. As for me, I am walking there. And of course, the sheer physical beauty of the topography in La Jolla is astounding. The first time I drove through town, on what was meant to be a day trip, I stopped the car in the middle of Coast and said: “Where do I sign”? My reaction was that immediate and that visceral.

♥ La Jollan launches dating site to link like-minded interests

BY TINA SAFI Contributor he new online dating site Heart and Hobby (heartandhobby.com) connects people through their common interests. La Jolla resident Alice Vysata, 32, started the site after spending years working in real estate. “I’d been thinking about creating an online dating site for nearly 10 years and the idea was born in Miami,” Vysata said. “I was sitting on a jet ski in the middle of crystal clear water, thinking that it would be great if I could find someone who

T

enjoyed boating and exploring Bahamian islands as much as I did.” But it wasn’t until the construction market stalled that Vysata had the time to sit down and develop her idea. “As a child, I helped my father restore our 1890s Italian Renaissance Alice Vysata house in New Jersey,” Vysata said. “He was very good at carpentry and I always helped him by

carrying materials, stripping paint down from the original millwork, helping to rewallpaper each room, etc. This is where my interest in and love of historic homes began. “When I had the opportunity to see how custom homes are built after college, I jumped in and felt right at home.” Vysata’s work in real estate continued for a decade and took her to Las Vegas as a developer in 2004. When the market took a downturn, she moved to La Jolla and began contemplating a new career path.

15 percent of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine’s Day. It’s true, according to corsinet.com. Also interesting is the fact that though California produces 60 percent of American roses, the vast number sold on Valentine’s Day in the country are imported, mostly from South America. Approximately 110 million roses, the majority red, will be sold and delivered within a three-day time period. Why red roses? The red rose was the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Red stands for strong feelings, which is why a red rose is a flower of love.

Sharon Hinckley blends watercolor style into photography BY JENNA JAY Contributor A small but sprightly photography display in the window of Nelson Photo on Fay Avenue earlier this month got passersby to slow their strides to study the vivid images of area beaches, flowers and figures. This is the work of watercolorist Sharon Hinckley, whose first photography exhibit embraces her plein-air (a French term that means sitting outside) artistic style through images of San Diego scenery and activity. “I call it plein-air photography because it’s essentially the same way I Sharon would make a Hinckley painting, only using the camera instead of a paintbrush,” Hinckley said. Hinckley’s fascination for art through the telephoto lens has materialized after years spent behind an easel. She retains the similarities in her art forms through a naturalistic style that paints a straightforward picture of outdoor surroundings. In photography, Hinckley often finds surprises in her images that are only clear to her after snapping photos. “I discovered things I never

Watercolorist Sharon Hinckley channels her energy into plein-air photography, which she describes as “the same way I would make a painting, only using the camera instead of a paintbrush.” COURTESY noticed before, like squirrels and crows play together,” she said. “I would never have thought that those two species would have gotten along.” Hinckley, an accomplished artist specializing in watercolors, has only recently taken the plunge into the realm of photography. In such, she has become a student to an art form rather than a teacher, the role she’s had over the last several years leading art classes and yoga sessions. A yoga and painting instructor by patience and practice, Hinckley has enhanced both passions by relating them to her everyday life. “I probably did the whole thing

backwards. I knew when I was painting that I was doing something that I wasn’t doing in the rest of my life,” Hinckley said. “Whatever it was I was doing when I was painting was a very good thing; I just didn’t know how to verbalize that, so when I started doing yoga I was like, ‘Oh, that’s what I was doing when I was painting.’” Finding a correlation between yoga and creating art through what she calls “relaxed attention,” Hinckley has coached a range of pupils through her creative processes, whether at painting workshops around town or in yoga classes she leads at the Jewish

Community Center and La Jolla YMCA Firehouse. Hinckley encourages students to “have fun and just enjoy what you’re doing,” which is advice she has taken to heart. A Maryland native and Stanford University graduate, she first got into watercolor painting by accident, stumbling upon a watercolor class after quitting a different course when she didn’t care for the instructor. Similarly, she never predicted she would get involved with teaching yoga, and professional photography sent yet another unexpected twist her way. Learning to embrace whatever comes her way is an acquired skill that’s helped Hinckley to excel in photography. Frequenting high traffic areas like Windansea to capture moments, colors and actions on film, Hinckley has utilized her renowned plein-air art technique and particular interests in light and color in more than one form, parlaying them into a multifaceted career. She continues expanding her market around La Jolla, with watercolor paintings on sale at My Art Shed, greeting cards available at La Jolla Mailbox, and a book, “Watercolor Basics: Painting Flowers,” on shelves at Warwick’s. Her next photo exhibit will run March 1-31 at Nelson Photo in Little Italy.

Sharon Hinckley’s

5 tips for beginners in art

■ Keep a sketchbook. ■ Keep working. “I threw away at least 600 paintings before I kept one.” ■ Be gentle with yourself. “If you come back with an absolutely horrendous painting but it’s got really nice green in it,then you go,‘that was the best green I ever made,’ because every painting has something in it.” ■ Don’t be afraid to try something new. “I’ve been teaching yoga for 11 years now,which was not something I ever planned to do.” ■ Learn how to view things. “Painting is easy.It’s the learning how to see things and where to emphasize things that is hard.”

Market Street Group plans silver anniversary exhibit BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Twenty-five years ago a group of fine artists banded together in the spirit of cooperation to provide a venue to exhibit and a place to learn. The association, made up of several La Jollans, called itself the Market Street Group, a nod to its location in downtown San Diego, an area noted for its vibrant art community in the mid 1980s. In celebration, the public is invited to attend an anniversary art reception at the group’s current location — Studio 247, 2400 Kettner St. in San Diego’s Little Italy. The studio will open at 5:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11 with an award program starting at 7 p.m. The Sebastian Capella Scholarship Award, named for the group’s founder, will be given to Barbara Trzcinski, an art student from La Jolla’s Athenaeum. Capella and Athenaeum executive director Erika Torri will present the award that grants free access, classes, and full use of the studio

Wahab. There is also an award for two emerging artists to use the facility, without fee, for one month. The exhibition will feature the work of Capella, plus art from group members past and present. Much talent has grown from its inception in 1986 when Capella, a transplanted Spanish artist and teacher in the classical tradition, creat-

Hable, Aline Gest, Andrea Gaye, and Alberta Casey. “He said ‘it’s not enough for you to take classes, you have to practice art to develop your skills,’ ” said Wahab, a retired physician, who joined the group 20 years ago, steered it through its ups and downs, and remains an active member. “The group also acted as an incubator for emerging artists, protected them, gave them an environment to perfect their skills, and after

Many notable artists in San Diego started in the group.” Members Ken and Stephanie Goldman, and Kirby Kendrick are three such artists, now enjoying international acclaim. Figure drawing sessions are a key benefit. “We have models sit, four times a week, for our three-hour drawing classes. As a cooperative studio, each member shares expenses, making it affordable, and each has the freedom to come and go to work anytime,” said Wahab.

The work created ranges from landscape to portraiture to still life and more. Members are in their 30s through 80s, and the group recently celebrated the 84th birthday of Robert Crisler. Until his death last year at age 94, Ralph Geisberg was the oldest member. Under Wahab’s watch, the group held an exhibition at the Mona Bismark Foundation in Paris in June 1990, and several members have held leadership positions in the local art community. Wahab, like Ron Spelman,

Stephanie Goldman and George Wahab each served as past presidents of the San Diego Museum of Art’s Artist Guild, and were also SDMA board trustees. Other members have been active in the San Diego Museum of Living Artist, the La Jolla Art Association, and the Pastel Society. “The story of Market Street Group is a unique one,” said Wahab. “It was kept secret for a long time. It deserves to be uncovered and brought to the public attention.”

Valentine’s Day calls for vitality vittles, n’est pas? Kitchen Shrink Catharine L. Kaufman

Pay attention guys! Here’s an A (aphrodisiac) List of foods and suggestions to help prepare an amorous breakfast in bed, afternoon delight for lunch, or cozy dinner for two that comes from the heart while jumpstarting the libido.

� Use your ‘Stalk’ Options Asparagus, renowned for centuries for its aphrodisiac properties, including its erotic spear shape, was fed to bridegrooms as a natural Viagra for the wedding night, and found especially titillating when finger fed by the bride. Whip up an asparagus omelet or frittata, toss the tips in a primavera pasta, or concoct an asparagus antipasto salad with slices of vine-ripened love apples (aka tomatoes), fresh mini mozzarella balls and artichoke hearts drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. � World is Your Oyster Seafood rich in zinc (including Alaskan king crab, wild-caught lobster, and caviar) stimulate testosterone production, which can lead to romantic possibilities. Oysters, the zinc heavyweight was discovered by Romans circa the 2nd century A.D. as a high octane aphrodisiac, while Casanova, the 18th century’s version of Charlie Sheen was said to have consumed 50 raw oysters a day. Of course, that was before these bivalves became a reservoir for PCBs, mercury and other aquatic toxins.

The Department of Theatre and Dance at UCSD debuts a program of projects by graduate students. Dancers Rebecca Salzer and Alicia Peterson Baskel perform at 6:15 and 8:15 p.m. Feb.10-12 at the Potiker Theatre; Anthony Luciano directs “Hedda Gabler� 2 and 8 p.m. Feb. 1819 and Feb. 24-26 at Mandell Weiss Forum Theatre; Kim Rubenstein directs “The Hot L Baltimore,� 2 and 8 p.m. Feb. 22-26 at Arthur Wagner Theatre; Yolande Snaith in “Winterworks� 8 p.m. March 9-12, Potiker Theatre. Tickets $10-$20 at the door or (858) 534-4574.

Now that we’ve helped the guys with romantic recipes for their sweethearts, here’s a dish for any woman to find her way into a man’s heart.

Lusty Chocolate Mousse 1 large acorn squash (halved,seeds scooped out) 2/3 cup dark chocolate syrup 1/3 cup dried cherries 1 cup heavy whipping cream 3 tablespoons dark rum or fine cognac Directions: Whip cream until peaks form and set aside.In a medium pot,half-filled with water,bring to a boil,and simmer squash until tender.Scoop out flesh and semi-puree in the food processor. In a mixing bowl,combine the squash,chocolate syrup,cherries and liquor,and gently fold in the whipped cream.Serve in martini glasses and garnish with a Godiva or your chocolate of choice. For other labor of love recipes e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit FreeRangeClub.com So standing advice — moderation. Make a passionate pizza with dollops of red and black caviar, a seafood martini or a spicy crab quesadilla. � Going Bananas The sexy banana with its seductive shape is also loaded with potassium and Vitamin B to rev up sex hormone production, while studies have shown that the enzyme bromelain sparks male performance. These tropical treats can be blended in smoothies, mashed in pancake batter, sliced on a piece of toast with a slather of almond butter, or sautÊed in a pan with a splash of your favorite liqueur, and used as

a topping for vanilla bean gelato. � Forget Love, I’d Rather Fall in Chocolate But the two are inextricably meshed as chocolate has been found to contain a magical substance that affects the romantic wiring in the brain so powerfully that it was banned in monasteries centuries back so the monks would not be enticed to break their vows. Bittersweet is best, and the higher the cocoa content the better to unleash your amorous tigress. Anything you do with chocolate is divine. Sprinkle shavings on French toast or waffles, or make a chocolate fondue to warm the cockles of your lover’s heart. Dip fresh or dried fruit into melted chocolate like strawberries chunks of pineapple, cantaloupe, apricots or bananas for a double dose of desire. Imagination is the only limit for the many uses of drizzled chocolate.

www.lajollalight.com FROM QUESTIONS, B1 their efforts. The Rotary, St. Germain … too many to list. I am a member of the San Diego/Jalalabad Sister Cities Foundation and in that guise I see people who enter dangerous lands to support a civilian populous that is economically downtrodden to provide them with schools, health facilities and hope. I was raised with the belief that to inhabit this Earth, you need to pay rent. I am inspired by those who pay more than their share. What might you improve in the area? Our infrastructure is poor. The coastline topography is stunning beyond belief, but the manmade maintenance of same is lacking. Road surfacing, beach cleanliness and water runoff are recurrent issues. If I could snap my fingers for change, I would like the outcome to reflect thoughtful governance that maintains the bounty that we have all been given, for the benefit of our children and grandchildren. At Independent La Jolla, we are vetting ways in which our infrastructure could be improved via lessened reliance on the City of San Diego. Who inspires you? Actually, my personal heroine is Marlo Thomas. To many, she is an actress. Yet in truth, she is the driving force behind St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, arguably one of the best charities in the country. In one given day, Thomas will raise a million dollars at an event, and then stop off later that same day to deliver a requested toy to a young patient. And she sees equal value in both of these acts. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? There are endless fascinat-

ing figures in history to invite, but I believe I would go in a very specific direction and focus on the storyteller: David Sedaris, Spalding Gray, Wendy Wasserstein, Garrison Keillor, Atul Gawande. I would ask Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa, to act as chef, and I would invite Annie Leibovitz to photograph us for posterity. What are you reading? I’m just finishing “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot. This is a fascinating non-fiction that I would recommend to everyone. It involves the ethics of research and its sometimes-unintended consequences. What is your mostprized possession? That would be a large portrait of Billie Holliday in her prime, taken in 1947 by the noted jazz photographer Herman Leonard. Only 50 of these were produced, and no more shall be. All 50 were off-market in private hands. I knew Mr. Leonard had one, hanging on his living-room wall. For years, I called his office in the hope that I could buy it from him, to no avail. On the day of my 33rd birthday he called me himself and said, “You want this more than I do … I shall sell it to you right off of my wall.” True story! I have a special light on the portrait hanging in my living room. What do you do for fun? Oddly enough for someone my age, I collect transportation toys, such as pond yachts, airplane models, train sets and radio-controlled sail/glider planes. Regarding the latter, we are all so lucky to have one of two U.S gliderports right here in our backyard!

cial assistance to deaf children requiring cochlear implants, as the FDA considered this an experimental technology. I was confounded by such a notion, as to me it was, in essence, quite simple. Prior to the implant the children could not hear, and afterward they could. Not every child, or parent of the child, wishes to have such a procedure, but for those who do, it seemed unfair to watch parents mortgage their houses to pay for it because insurance companies would not. I always stated that my biggest goal in opening the foundation was to close it … in other words, to live in a world where such technology would be paid for by insurers. We are approaching that point now. What is your philosophy of life? Margaret Mead’s expression comes to mind: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Very true, and very demonstrable in La Jolla. I also think of the words of Dr. King: “The time is always right to do what is right.” To anyone who does not have the time to join any of La Jolla’s civic or philanthropic groups, I say please give just one a tr y. One group, one hour, one evening per month. Come to a Town Council meeting, or check out the Historical Society. You will get more than you give.

Schick adds new music group to fold The UCSD Department of Music reported by email Monday that Steven Schick, its distinguished professor of music and renowned conductor and percussionist, has been appointed artistic director of the San Steven Francisco Schick Contemporary Music Players, now in its 41st season. According to music department spokesman Dirk Sutro, “This is an outside gig, he'll still be here!” Schick is also music director and conductor of the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus, a post the Iowa native has held since 2007. Further, he is founder and artistic director of the percussion group red fish blue fish. For the past 30 years, Schick has championed contemporary percussion music as a conductor, performer and teacher by commissioning and premiering more than 100 new works by composers as varied as Brian Ferneyhough, David Lang, and Iannis Xenakis. In the announcement on the Music Players website, Schick writes,

Girl’s pageant dream brings disparate family together in Playhouse’s premiere musical ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Watching a rehearsal is always fun but most especially so last week at the La Jolla Playhouse as it readies the world premiere of “Little Miss Sunshine” for a musical opening Feb. 15 on stage at the Mandell Weiss Theatre. The inside of the rehearsal room is like a train station with so many people moving in different directions. The floor is marked for where the young pageant girls will strut their stuff in the play’s climactic competition scene. That’s where this production, based on the 2006 Oscar-winning film, takes us as we travel along with the dysfunctional Hoover family who make a road trip to get their youngest member, sweet little Olive, to a beauty pageant. The infamous “Sunshine” prop van appears in different forms —from a small radio-controlled car to one without a roof so singers are visible. There are four different sized vans used in the production, said Tony and Pulitzer Award-winning director/writer James Lapine. His long-time collaborator William Finn is composer/lyricist of the play. “This is a very free adaptation and not slavish at all to the movie … we’ve been lucky to invent scenes of our own and develop characters in ways movies can’t,” Lapine said. The cast and creative team began working on the show nearly two years ago so it’ s been a big commitment and labor of love for all involved. The star, Olive, is 10-year-old Georgi James of Poway, who began acting in commercials at age two and recently appeared in Broadway’s “Billy Elliott.” From the moment she strolls across the rehearsal room

until she sings her first song, there’ s no doubt she’s perfect for the role. “When I saw the movie I wanted to be that girl,” James said. “When I saw it was going to be a play, I had to tr y out for it.” The relationship between Olive and her cantankerous grandfather (Dick Latessa) is key to the story. Latessa’s (“Cabaret” “Damn Yankees”) singing, acting and dancing talents have made him a veteran of theater, film and TV, plus a Tony Award winner for “Hairspray.” He didn’t have to audition for the role of Grandpa. “I got the call from Bill, said yes, and have been working on it since 2009,” said Latessa. “I’m the antagonistic grandpa in the play. He’s a wonderful character.”

Taylor Trensch (national tour of “Spring Awakening”), who plays Olive’s mostly silent brother Dwayne, began acting at age six. “This movie touched me so much and the creative team for this show includes people I’ve been looking up to since I started in theater,” he said. “James Lapine and Bill Finn are my Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears. Their sensibility and what they bring to a stage made me want to do the show .” One of the script changes includes a flashback of Olive’s parents (Jennifer Laura Thompson and Hunter Foster) when they were dating. “I think (the stage play) will be a different experience for the audience. They will recognize the movie, but it won’ t be like seeing the same thing over again,” Lapine said.

Scout’s ‘history’ project earns her the coveted Gold Award BY EMILY DERUY Contributor Last summer, while many soon-to-be high school seniors were relishing their last few months of freedom, Emily Hogue was painstakingly compiling oral histories of senior citizens at the Gary & Mary West Senior Wellness Center, part of the Senior Community Centers of San Diego. The Bishop’s School senior, a member of Girl Scout Troop 3451 since first grade, recently earned her Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouting, for a project that involved transcribing the histories of underrepresented seniors into binders that she then donated to the senior center and the San Diego Historical Society. The Gold Award, earned by less than 10 percent of Scouts ages 14-18, requires girls to develop and execute projects that serve their communities. Each girl who “goes for the Gold” must submit a project proposal and a final report to their Girl Scout Council, and work

Barrie — his last play was an abysmal failure and his career is threatened by crippling writers block. With his deadline fast approaching and an impertinent producer hounding him, a chance meeting in a London park with a woman and her spirited young boys provides just the inspiration he needs. Based on the 2004 Academy Award-nominated film — which in turn was adapted from Allan Knee’s play, “The Man Who Was Peter Pan,” this musical tells the story of the real boys who inspired a literary masterpiece.

Each has a history, and many of them were pleased to see young people taking the time to listen. “It’s fun to read the interviews and see how the elders and the teenagers interacted,” said Martha Guy, Emily’s mother. “It’s so good for the kids to go see these people. The stories are so poignant.” Jane Kenealy, the archivist, agrees. “I was so impressed with Emily’s project,” she said. “The standard was excellent, and we gladly accepted it.” Emily received final approval from Girl Scouts in December. She will be presented with her Gold Award at a ceremony this spring.

Contributor ucina Urbana’s neighborhood feel could very well be the result of the entire neighborhood showing up for dinner on any given night. Luckily the spacious interior is better described as lively, not crowded, even if it is almost always well populated. If anything, it is primed to please large amounts of people — many of them at the same time. One thing to consider is that if you are set on dining at 7 p.m., you should plan a few weeks ahead. La Jollans Tony and Margaret Acampora, for example, visit twice a month and know full well when to secure a table. “This is not a gourmet restaurant, but it’s very good and consistent. And you can just tell by the crowd,” said Tony. “This is the only place that we’re aware of in San Diego where you need to call a month in advance for reservations. It reminds me of

C

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com, click ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Cucina Urbana’s Risotto Carbonara being home in New York City.” If you’re flexible, though, then Cucina Urbana can flex as well and find space for you even if you just walk in. If the Acamporas haven’t made a reservation and don’t find a lastminute opening, Margaret points out that they’ve also enjoyed dining at a community table. “And it was fun. You get to know the other people who are eating in the restaurant.” The menu at Cucina Urbana is

just as sprawling as the restaurant itself, so there’s a strong chance that you’ll not only find a seat but something to your tastes on the menu. If you don’t want to overdo it, you might do well treating appetizers like the Polenta, or salads like the Burrata and Prosciutto Caprese, as culinary destinations in and of themselves. Or you can go all out and have them both in conjunction with the Pan Seared Atlantic Cod, and a Blood Orange and Ricotta Cheese Fregolata for dessert. Perhaps the best deal comes on Thrifty Thursdays, when all pizzas are half price, putting them in the $6-$7.50 range. If you’re careful, you don’t have to shell out for a good experience at Cucina Urbana. But then again, much about this restaurant — from the sizeable bar, open floor plan and high ceilings to its impressive menu and wine list — says go big or go home. Whether or not you resist the temptation is up to you.

Geographically speaking, we’re at sea Recently I hired an amiable local kid to help me move some boxes, explaining that my husband was in Saudi Arabia. My teen helper’s brow puckered for a moment before he inquired, “Is that near Fresno?” At some point, it seems that geography ceased to be taught in the U.S. When Olof and I were relocated to Scandinavia for two years in 2005 by his company, I stopped by a La Jolla shipping office and queried the sweet young thing at the counter about shipping rates to Sweden. “Is that like a country?” she asked. “Yes,” I said, “it’s very much like a country.” There must have been a least some minimal geography instruction at one point as my older son remembers being taught the

mnemonic Not So Fast at Bird Rock Elementary to help remember the order of Norway, Sweden and Finland on a map. By pure luck, my younger son was blessed with two years of concentrated geography courtesy of a third and fourth grade teacher who began each day with a student giving a presentation with maps of a city, country, or region of their choosing anywhere in the world. By his second year, Henri, then 9, wanted to come up with something really different. “How about Abu Dhabi?” I said, since Olof had just been there. “Mom,” said Henri with barely disguised annoyance, “Abu Dhabi has been done three times.” Inspired by this teacher, I had acquired a Map of the World shower curtain for the kids’ bathroom.They might never look at a globe but they had to take a bath. Several years later, Henri and I were watching a quiz show and the clue was “is-

Young artists win symphony/chorus contest The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus announced the winners of its 51st annual Young Artists Competition, held Jan. 29 at UCSD.

T

he San Diego Natural History Museum’s 9th annual Dos Aguilas/Two Eagles gala took place at the museum on Feb. 5 to celebrate many years of bi-national research and collaboration between Southern California and Baja California.

so excited,” he said. “I had tears in my eyes. And afterwards, I said to Candye: I have an idea that together we can do a wonderful thing.” UBM was born some months later, and Candye, who has lived a blues life herself, became its bandleader, mentor and coach. The blues seemed the right kind of music for people dismissed by society. “Disabled people are historically chanceless people — like blues people,” van Wijngaarden said. UBM was created to offer

them chances. First, there’s the chance to come to an open audition. “It’s like a party,” he said. “Anyone can come, they’re all part of the event, and they all get to go onstage. And there’s an audience to applaud them, whatever they do.” But only the best and most motivated are chosen, mentored, and given a chance to perform for the general public. For many of them, it’s the first time they’re looked at for something they can do. And for the professionals, it’s the first time they see how blurred

the line is between “normal” and not. As one client wrote in a song: “I’m not special, I’m just like you.” After four concert tours and 60 shows in the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, and South Africa, UBM has now crossed the Atlantic, under the direction of Barbara Hammerman, a Seattle-area resident and longtime friend of Candye’s who has spent 30 years in nonprofit fundraising and development. Born in Louisiana, she grew up loving the blues. “We didn’t call it the blues

there. We just called it music,” she said. She went on to serve on the National Blues Foundation in Memphis, and received the National Keeping the Blues Alive Award in 2009. “Three years ago, when Joris wanted to expand into the U.S. and Canada, Candye told him: you’ve got to meet my friend Barbara,” Hammerman said. Now UBM’s North American Director, she successfully shepherded UBM through a summer of concerts from Vancouver to Santa Cruz. She calls what they’re doing “the Special Olympics of music.” The local event, featuring performances by Candye and Friends, drew a small but enthusiastic crowd of about 40 musicians, mental health workers, and prospective volunteers and donors. It was hosted by Martha Sullivan, a Del Mar resident who produces house concerts at The Oasis, an attractive space that doubles as a showroom for her online art, crafts, and book store.

The fastest way to sell your home is the local newspaper... NOT the Internet, Facts and research says Home-Selling the La Jolla Light: 78% of the “home buyer pool” is local and successful agents use papers to attract the best leads— while the Internet is best used in a “support” role The biggest problem with listing your home on the internet is this...the internet is huge! It would take hours to find all the available listings of homes for sale in this town—if you could even find them all...which you can’t. This is no doubt why Borrell Associates, the nationally known research firm reports that 66% of Americans rely on their local newspaper to buy and sell their homes, compared with only 20% using the internet. The biggest reason that a paper like the La Jolla Light is such a powerful lead generating tool for agents, is the paper’s long-term credibility with readers. When your home is listed or shown in this paper, it benefits from the paper’s thorough reporting and “believability”.

✔ 70% - 80% of home-buyers, buy locally. ✔ The La Jolla Light is delivered by the Postal Service ... to each resident’s home. ✔ Those most likely to purchase your home read The Light. ✔ Each week The Light features HOMES SOLD in 92037 and their actual price. ✔ The Light and it’s sister publications, reaches 9 of the 10 wealthiest zip codes in San Diego. ✔ These publications reach 200,000 “qualified” home buyers—every week. ✔ Serious home buyers are reading these publications to find “prestigious” homes & estates, like yours. ✔ The top agents in La Jolla advertise in The Light, because it sells homes. Ask your agent if they are using the La Jolla Light and sister publications. If not, have your agent call the La Jolla Light at 858-875-5945 and ask for Claire to get your home sold faster.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Mexican art may not be what you think. The new exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art-La Jolla aims to prove just that. “Mexico: Expected/ Unexpected,” in collaboration with the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, features more than 100 artworks from the Isabel and Augustin Coppel Collection, one of Mexico’s most impressive collections of contemporary art. Each museum is showing about half of the original exhibition, which was created in 2008 for La Maison Rouge, a large gallery space in Paris that’s known for cutting-edge art. After an extensive European tour, the show is making its U.S. debut in California. There’s plenty to catch your eye here, a mix of media, moods, and perspectives to give viewers a sense of the

Floor-level view of ‘Suspended Landscape’ by Rivane Neuenschwander. The art display is made of garlic peels and vegetable fibers. MAURICE HEWITT multiple faces of modernday Mexico. First, in the lobby, is a neon sign that spells BORDER —and sometimes ORDER— in flashing red lights. Then there’s a striking design in black-and-white vinyl that covers the entire west wall — “PostPop F***22.” They’re both by Kendall Geers, from South Africa. Surprise! These aren’t all

Mexican artists. Some are international artists who have spent time in Mexico. This show isn’t narrowly focused, but global in scope. Mireya Escalante, director of the Coppel Collection, who has worked with the Coppels for the past 15 years, said they started by collecting modern Mexican art. Not Diego Riveras and Frieda Kahlos, but lesserknown works. “In Mexico, what we call modern art is the period from 1910-1950,” she explained. “After that, it’s contemporary. The 1960s had too much rupture and abstraction, so we didn’t go there. But we moved on to artists from outside our country, and then, like a circle, we came back to Mexico.” The main attraction in the Fayman gallery is “Suspended Landscape,“ an installation by Rivane Neuenschwander made of dozens of string-like vegetable fibers hung from floor to ceiling. At the bottom of each one is

Maurizio Cattelan’s ‘Seated Donkey,’ a full-sized, sad-eyed burro, invites contemplation. LONNIE HEWITT garlic — that is, the papery peel of a garlic bulb. “So sexy! I love how it moves when you move through it!” said Lucia Sanroman, associate curator at MCASD, who installed the exhibition. “Of course, it was a Brazilian who made it!” In the Kirchman gallery, there’s the “Seated Donkey,” a full-sized, sad-eyed burro by Maurizio Cattelan, an Italian. Two rooms away is the oddly engaging “Zocalo,” a 12-hour video of Mexico City’s main square, by Francis Alys, a Belgian artist who has made the city his home. Another notable wall-

length black-and-white painting is Daniel Guzman’s “Exilio.” Underneath it is written, in Spanish: “I was for a long time exiled from myself, so much so that on my return, I didn’t recognize who I was.” “The last time I saw him, he was ... in a bar ... in Mexico City,” a young woman said. “He’s one of our greatest artists.” “Mexico: Expected/Unexpected” is an adventure, like taking a trip to a country you don’t really know. See it, enjoy it, and for the full experience, plan to see the rest of the show in Long Beach sometime soon.

San Diego playwright chooses Cygnet Theatre for world premiere of ‘The Tragedy of the Commons’ Stage, screen and TV writer Stephen Metcalfe brings Diana both humor Saenger and harsh reality to the Cygnet Theatre stage with the world premiere of his play “The Tragedy Of The Commons.” The fine cast, directed by Cygnet’s artistic director Sean Murray, presents a tale with a San Diego “hook,” that is fresh and absorbing. A homey Adams clan livingroom scene launches the journey into this complex family. Dakin (Jim Winker) and Macy (Veronica Murphy) are empty nesters but the Golden Years have not yet arrived. Dakin, seriously missing his days as a teacher, spends his time on the computer sending out random blogs he calls “Notes from Zone 10.” Although the couple’s sons Spencer (Francis Gercke) and Alan

Meanwhile, mother Macy is getting plenty of exercise because every time she tries to reason Dakin back into the real world, they end up in a stalemate and she takes the dogs for a walk. It’s only when their neighbor Carl (Tim West) announces he and his wife are selling their home that

Dakin comes energetically alive. Dakin suddenly understands that his treasured view of the beach directly above Carl’s house could disappear if a new owner decides to build up. And that’s exactly what happens when new neighbor Diane (Monique Gaffney) shows up with a cheap bottle of wine for Dakin. Even the un-chilled wine is no match for the cold-hearted stern investor who tells Dakin she is indeed going to rebuild and block his view. But the prickly predicament reveals that Dakin and Macy have far bigger issues between them. Metcalfe, who brought humor to his adaptation of “Pretty Woman,” nailed difficult family relationships in “Jacknife” with Robert De Niro and Ed Harris, and then dove into complex character interactions in the Old Globe’s “Loves and Hours,” continues his magic in “The Tragedy of the Commons.” The show shines from Metcalfe’s ability to make an audience laugh, think, and be surprised. Just when you think you know where it’s heading, the story goes deeper and takes unexpected turns.

Francis Gercke, Jim Winker and Veronica Murphy appear in ‘The Tragedy Of The Commons’ at Cygnet Theatre. DAREN SCOTT

www.lajollalight.com FROM DATING, B1 To begin with, she considered the void in the online dating world that she witnessed. “My experience (in addition to my friends’ experiences) in online dating has been that you pull hundreds of profiles in your Zip code without an initial way to see if you actually have anything in common with the person,” Vysata said. “I wanted to focus on bringing people together on a deeper level than physical characteristics, which unfortunately is the way that many people narrow down their dating choices online.” Vysata maintains that common interests and hobbies are important in keeping a relationship going after the “honeymoon phase” is over. At Heart and Hobby, the goal is to create longer lasting, deeper bonds between partners. The site, which had to be coded from scratch due to lack of precedence in the market, took about eight months to create. The finished product allows users to search for their interests first, ultimately finding profiles of other singles who share those same interests. “Initially, I could not figure out how the site should be laid out,” Vysata said. “It’s not like other dating sites where people just submit profiles. I had to draw out and then re-draw out the way it was going to be organized, and I eventually decided the site was going to be organized by the interests and hobbies themselves, with user profiles inside.” Vysata has faced some setbacks along the way.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - FEBRUARY 10, 2011 - PAGE B21

Did you know ... ■ The U.S.Online Dating Market is expected to reach $932 million this year — that’s almost one billion dollars worth of online dating services. ■ There are about 20 million monthly users. ■ There are 1,500 Internet dating sites. ■ 31 percent of adults in America say they know someone who has used an online dating service. Source: Pew Internet & American Life Project Report, 2006. Social Media Network News

“Some people sign on, create a profile and don’t go beyond that because they are so used to other dating sites operating that way,” Vysata said. “On Heart and Hobby, you actually go and choose the Interest Groups you want to be categorized in, and some people miss that step.” To alleviate this problem, the site now features explanation buttons. Vysata will be spending Valentine’s Day in Florida, promoting her site and attending parties. Is she too busy to use heartandhobby.com? “I poke around the site when I have some time, yes!” she laughed.
