South Casa Beach stairs facing repair BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer South Casa stairway in La Jolla, closed indefinitely by the city of San Diego in mid-December, awaits repairs for erosion damage. “They’ve (stairs) been deemed unsafe,” said Stacey LoMedico, director of the city Park and Recreation Department. “It was an emergency closure. We’re in the process of having engineering staff review them to let us know what’s needed, and then we’ll go into the process of securing funds and repairing.” In a letter dated Feb. 8 to the California Coastal Commission, LoMedico noted city park and rec staff, while performing routine maintenance at South Casa Stairway in December, noticed the stairs were more damaged than at the last check.

Juvenile shark sighting stirs up conversation BY RICK LEBEAU Contributor On a beautiful clear sunny February day in La Jolla — you know, the kind that makes everyone across the United States envious— the only thing wrong with the day was below the surface: 30 feet below one of the marker buoys in La Jolla Cove, as it turned out. Shortly after lunch time on Thursday, two divers —one of whom was reportedly a dive master experienced in local waters —encountered what they said was a 5-foot great white shark. The youthful shark, swimming 25 miles west of a known nesting area, circled the pair of divers and concluded they were not on the menu.

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer eeking sculptures in The Stuart Collection at UCSD that are sprinkled about the university’s 1,200acre campus is one big treasure hunt. Some sculptures, like Niki de Saint Phalle’s Sun God are obvious. Others, like the Jenny Holzer Green Table, are virtually hidden. But whether overt or subdued, evocative or understated, the enjoyment in “discovering” each of the 17 public sculptures in the collection is in the search itself. If you’re in a questing mood, do take advantage of the collection and see it for yourself. But expect to spend some time — at least the better part of a day — especially if you’re on foot as objects are scattered and not always easy to find. Treat it as a hike: You’re going to be doing some walking. Take along water and bring a snack if you like. Best of all, prepare to transport yourself back in time to your school days as you traverse UCSD campus: You’ll feel like you’re a student again as you’re making the journey.

Plans resurface for homes on Green Dragon site BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Architects laid out preliminary plans for residential redevelopment of the historic Green Dragon site that requires a city special use permit during Monday's La Jolla Planned District Ordinance Committee meeting. La Jolla architect Jim Alcorn of Alcorn & Benton Architects presented the developer’s plans to redevelop the nearly one-acre former Green Dragon site. “This location right now doesn’t have anything on it, but it used to be the site of four little cottages removed in 1991, and is near the heritage house which was turned into Brockton Villa restaurant,” said Alcorn speaking for Allison-Zongker. Alcorn said a 1995 site development proposal calling for four residential units on the former Green Dragon site has been scaled back to three. He noted a problem remains to be resolved with zoning, which currently doesn’t allow ground-floor residential. “So we’re going to go back to the city with a modified request for a special use permit to support our having residential, but no commercial, development on Coast Boulevard,” he said.

Ships ahoy! La Jolla Elementary students build Spanish galleons

s part of their study of early California history, every fourth grader at La Jolla Elementary built a Spanish galleon out of “found” materials (not purchased at a store). The students — over 100 of them, from four different classes — also wrote letters or journals from the perspective of someone who was on their ship. All of them brought their galleons to school on Feb. 9 and showed them off to their peers, teachers and parents.

FROM ART, A3 After the meeting, Alcorn’s business partner, Paul Benton, said the proposed residences would be townhouse-type units with underground garages. “We’re going to three units with a little more open space around them,” said Benton. “The community really does not want commercial space on Coast Boulevard but thinks commercial is great on Prospect Street.” Benton noted Green Dragon redevelopment would be directly below the old Chart House site (now being converted into an Eddie V’s restaurant that is set to open later this year). “The project would have at least two stories above decks and balconies overlooking the Cove and still be in keeping with the character of the area,” he said. The committee could not take action because of a lack of a quorum after committee member Goldfish Point Cafe owners Deborah Marengo noted she had a conflict of interest because her landlord is the project's developer. The advisory group also heard a presentation from former First District City Councilman Scott Peters on behalf of the La Jolla Community Foun-

Tribes begin cross-country walk against diabetes in LJ Shores

dation, a nonprofit promoting community enhancement, defending an ongoing public art program in the Village. Peters’ presentation came in answer to previous concerns raised by PDO Committee members who said they weren't properly notified about the foundation's mural projects on private property and that the ongoing art projects might not conform with PDO design requirements. “The idea is to do eight to 10 of these world-class art projects, all privately funded,” said Peters, noting two are already done and a third, a photographic blow-up of a grain of sand on a wall near the new Rubio’s restaurant on Fay Avenue, is in the works. Chairwoman Ione Stiegler noted signage requirements in La Jolla’s design ordinace do not cover public art, therefore the Foundation’s projects are in conformance. But she noted Foundation project’s color palettes, and the materials used, may not conform with the rules. Members asked Peters to return at a later meeting with more details about the particulars of colors and materials to be used in future Foundation pubic art projects.

n estimated 200 people turned out at La Jolla Shores Monday for the start of The Longest Walk 3, a 5,400-mile walk-run-ride relay across America to draw attention to the epidemic of diabetes among Native Americans. La Jolla was chosen as the starting point because of its historic significance to the Kumeyaay Nation. Participants are slated to reach Washington, D.C., on July 8.

FROM SHARK, A1

A lifeguard makes a sweep off La Jolla Cove on the afternoon of Feb. 10 after a great white shark sighting was reported. ANNE CLEVELAND

The meeting ended amicably, though the divers did swim directly to shore to report the encounter to lifeguards. The lifeguard service responded by closing the beach and adjacent swim area briefly, then posted a warning on the white board next to the lifeguard shack. To most aquatic veterans at the Cove, the unusual thing wasn’t that the shark was there, but that someone had spotted and reported it. To many, it was a mundane matter, which served as a

source of humor, or humorous philosophy perhaps. One observer remarked, “It’s their ocean. Where else are they going to go … downtown?” When asked if such a shark sighting would keep him out of the water, bodysurfer Tom Keener commented, “We know they’re out there. They’re always out there. Shark sightings are rare, and attacks by sharks are even more rare.” Indeed, Keener was able to name the three confirmed shark attack deaths in the county since the 1950s. In 2008, a well-known Solana

Beach resident was attacked and killed by a shark estimated at about 15 feet long while swimming with a group of triathletes in Solana Beach. Lifeguard Lieutenant John Everhart was similarly nonplussed by the events. In between interviews by every TV news crew in the county, he related that it was not the type of situation that people should get alarmed about. The reports were carried across the country and relayed to locals by relatives. Sean Van Sommeran, executive director of the Santa

Want to pr olong independence and delay biological aging by up to 12 y ears? A 2008 study published in the B ritish J ournal of S ports Medicine indicates that maintaining aerobic fitness can help y ou do both. Aerobic capacity generally begins to fall steadily at middle age. According to Science Magazine, the aerobic capacity of a sedentar y person at age 60 will typically be about half of what it was at age 20. When aerobic capacity falls too lo w it becomes difficult to do anything without fatigue. B ut regular cardio workouts can slo w or r everse this decline, ev en in later life. The research shows that doing relatively high intensity aer obic activity consistently over time boosted aer obic capacity by up to 25% - equiv alent to a r eversal of 10-12 biological years. Boosting aerobic capacity can help elderly people stay healthy and increase their independence. Whether y ou ar e inter ested in sports/exercise training or need rehabilitation w e can help . O ur professional therapists will tailor a program to help maximiz e y our health and wellbeing. We provide a thorough evaluation and treatment of your gait, joint mobility, muscle strength, flexibility , balance and more. Exercise education and injury rehabilitation ar e y our gate way to initiating safe aerobic activities. P.S. February is H eart H ealth Month – it’s a great time to get fit! Call A bility R ehab today for an evaluation.

Cruz-based Pelagic Shark Research Foundation, said he thought the shark might have been a salmon shark, which shares some features and is closely related to the great white species. “We’ve had several sightings in the Pismo Beach to San Francisco area in the past week that were originally reported as small whites,” he said. But, he added, they were actually salmon sharks. The organization’s website, www.pelagic.org, says “This classically ‘Lamnid’ looking shark is often misidentified as juvenile white sharks because of the conical snout, dark round eyes and keeled and lunate tail section.” Long-time endurance swimmer Anne Cleveland, who has seen her share of off-shore predators during her thousands of miles of ocean swimming, considers it no coincidence that there are sharks in the area of a “smorgasbord” that includes seals and sea lions concentrated in the waters in and around the cove. By late afternoon, with news crews and even helicopters circling like sharks looking for their next meal, the local swimmers and triathletes were donning wetsuits and goggles, headed out into the frigid 56-degree water. To them, hypothermia was a much bigger threat than a baby shark touring the coastal waters.

FROM STUART, A1 Plan out your sojourn. Even do it in sections if you like, as sculptures tend to be clustered. At the end of the journey, you’ll feel like you’ve accomplished something. And, perhaps, the lesson that will be imparted is that the sculpture walk, like the educational journey to which it pays homage, is unending. The collection, as describe on its website, “seeks to enrich the cultural, intellectual and scholarly life of the UCSD campus and of the San Diego community by building and maintaining a unique collection of site-specific works by leading artists of our time. It has been inventive in

both its curatorial point of view and its working processes.” The collection, resulting from a 1982 agreement between the collection and the university that was renewed in 2003, opened up the entire campus as sites for commissioned sculpture. “The Stuart Collection gets its logic from its particular setting in a university community and its primary audience, people whose lives are being shaped every day by a process of observing, discovering, rethinking and debating,” saidJohn Walsh, art historian, author and director emeritus of the J. Paul Getty Museum in a lecture he gives titled “The Stuart Collection: Campus as

Sculpture Park.” “This helps to account for a lot of the devices these artists use and the messages they deliver.… It’s a key to the hide-and-seek quality of many of the pieces.” In his lectures, Walsh concludes Stuart Collection works on campus “get embedded in the lives of the people who work and study here.” Noting sculptureshave important things to teach beyond the value of staying open to visual experience, Walsh notes they encourage everybody to “feel free to think imaginatively, to experiment with ideas ... These works of art do the first great work of the university: liberating students’ minds.”

Photonics,life sciences converge at Salk Institute BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Contributor Think back on your experience using a microscope. For many of us it was a simple instrument in high school biology class that used visible light to magnify the surface of small, preserved objects. In the last 100 years, the science of microscopy has made phenomenal advances with technology now available that can reveal even the sub-cellular components of living cells. The frontiers of this new technology — known as biophotonics —were on display at the grand opening of the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies (www.salk.edu/biophotonics/). “We are able to image even single molecules. This was something I was taught (in school) was impossible,” said Salk President William R. Brody before an audience of researchers, board members, and donors who gathered for the dedication and

By observing how single molecules and cells function in real time and deciphering what goes wrong when they malfunction, scientists will learn, among other things, how certain diseases develop, how a cell turns cancerous, and how neurons in a living brain respond to stress, exercise, learning and diet. The resolution of conven-

tional optical microscopes is limited by the wavelength of light. Biophotonic yields super-resolution livecell imaging that allows researchers to capture short videos of fast-moving cellular processes while discerning the precise location of nearly each individual protein they are studying. A video presentation during the Waitt Center dedication presented images so detailed and powerful they

The funds will be used to sponsor one year of tuition and supplies for a child at Humble Hearts. Soon the “Kids for Kenya” students will know which child they will be sponsoring and will begin to communicate with a Humble Hearts kindergarten teacher. In addition to funding tuition, part of the $600 raised by the students will fund an entire kindergarten classroom for one year. Similar to the “Kids for

TRUE B E

In the summer of 2010, a unique teaching opportunity fell into the hands of The Children’s School (TCS) kindergarten teacher, Lisa Jardine. Humble Hearts, an orphanage for deaf children located just outside of the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, needed teachers. Jardine jumped at the offer. While in Africa, she was moved by how grateful and appreciative the children and teachers were of simple items like crayons and sharp pencils. Even though they were in need of very basic items that her students had an abundance of at TCS, the children and people of Kenya didn’t ask for anything at all. They were happy, they were content, and they were proud. Inspired by her experience in Kenya, Jardine organized the “Kids for Kenya” club at TCS in an effort to expose the students to the resource needs of schools in countries like Pakistan, Kenya, Ghana, and Sudan. “My overall goal is for the children to have gratitude, grace and a sense of giving,” Jardine said. “I want them to be grateful for what they have. I want them to feel

BY BECKY STICKNEY NBCSanDiego.com A replica Shelby Cobra convertible was totaled and its driver sent to the hospital after a nasty wreck in Torrey Pines on Feb. 9. The driver was traveling into La Jolla when he lost control and hit a Nissan Altima coming in the opposite direction on Torrey Pines Road. The Cobra then ended up in a home’s front yard, partly through a fence. The driver went to the hospital, although there was no word on the extent of his injuries. People in the other car complained of pain, but did not go to the hospital. According to Sgt. Kevin Friedman from the San Diego Police Department Traffic Division, this isn’t the first time a car has landed in the front yard of the home on Torrey Pines Road. It’s an unfortunate common occurrence for the homeowner, according to Friedman. Not only was the fence damaged, but a car that was parked in the home’s driveway was also damaged. The fuel tank was knocked out of the convertible and flew up close to the home.

Ansel Adams’ little-known photos of UCSD on display BY GREG ALDER Contributor Ansel Adams, one of the American West’s most beloved photographers, famous for his black-andwhite images of Yosemite National Park, once took pictures of UCSD. Who knew? In 1963, the University of California commissioned Adams to photograph all the campuses for its centennial celebration book, “Fiat Lux.” Since then, the negatives of the images have been stored

at the Museum of Photography at UC Riverside. But now, a selection of them is on display in the Mandeville Special Collections Library, just inside the entrance to UCSD’s Geisel Library. “I picked out some of the better shots, the classic images,” said Lynda Corey Claassen, the director of the Mandeville Special Collections Library, who is responsible for the exhibition. On display are portraits of figures who were instrumen-

tal in the early years of the university, such as the founding provost of Muir College, John Stewart, shown in one photograph standing beside a bicycle, smiling broadly, with the campus’s iconic eucalyptus trees in the background. There are also photographs Adams took of Walter Munk, Nobel Prize winner Harold Urey, Carl L. Hubbs, Per Fredrik Scholander, and UCSD’s first librarian Melvin Voigt.

Some of the photographs now on display have never before been published. “Fiat Lux” contained only 10 im-

ages of UCSD, but Adams shot 70 in all. Claassen was able to print and format 19 photographs with a grant from the chancellor as part of UCSD’s 50year anniversary celebration. “Students are really enjoying them,” says Claassen. “They’re saying, ‘I didn’t know Ansel Adams took pictures of UCSD!’” The photos were originally set to be on display until April 1, but their popularity has caused Claassen to extend that date to May 1.

Town Council names two interim trustees

FROM STAIRS, A1 “Staff noticed further erosion from the base,” said LoMedico, adding, “It’s going to be closed for a while. There needs to be some reconstruction of the stairs. We should have more information within the next few weeks.” On Jan. 28, city staff met with the city’s Risk Management Department, which concurred with the decision to close the stairway until repairs can be made. City Engineering and Capital Projects Department staff have begun laying the groundwork for stairwell reconstruction, preparing repair documents and obtaining the necessary building permits. LoMedico’s letter stated the stairwell will likely be closed for at least the summer season.

Two new trustees, Ken King and Sonia Maria Olivas, were named last week to the La Jolla Town Council board. They will serve the balance of the terms of two trustees, who will be determined by the executive committee, according to President Rick Wildman. J.R. Sullivan and Pancho Dewhurst, John Frangos and Melissa Stephens have resigned in recent months. King, who has lived in La Jolla Shores for about a year and a half, previously lived in Rancho Santa Fe where he served as president of the Rancho Santa Fe Association and was a member of the San Dieguito Planning

Group. He is the owner of San Diego Pools. Olivas, a two-year resident of La Jolla, is a freelance harpist and music teacher. Meanwhile a nominating committee headed by Trustee Rob Hildt is beginning the process of recruiting candidates for the April election. Trustees Dan Courtney, Cristull Hassen and Earl Van Inwegen are “termed out” and cannot run again. In other action, the council heard a report from Inwegen, who said he is continuing his efforts to get in touch with military representatives to discuss the concerns about helicopter flights along the coastline.

Environmental groups seek ‘king tides’ photos

The South Casa Stairway in La Jolla has been closed since mid-December for repair work. PHOTOS BY DAVE SCHWAB

Local environmental organizations are part of a statewide project seeing volunteers to document this winter’s “king tides.” This Wednesday, Thursday and Friday some of the highest tides of the year are expected. On Friday, particularly high tides from 7:30 to 9 a.m.— raising water levels five to eight inches above normal— are likely, according to a press release from the sponsoring organizations. They are calling on residents to submit photos taken during high tides of areas known to flood and areas where high water

levels can be gauged against sea walls, jetties, bridge supports, or dikes. NOAA’s Tidal Charts show locations and predictions (www.co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/tides11/ tab2wc1a.html#122) for the expected high tides this week. Residents who take photos are asked to submit them along with contact information, photo location, orientation and date and time of day, directly to the San Diego King Tide’s photo page at the website www.flickr.com/groups/sandiegokingtides/.

some others who don’t want to be on the board but have pitched in on committees — already have shown they’re in for the long haul.

BY DOUG DAWSON President, Friends of the La Jolla Library Two Library volunteers recently were talking about the city’s financial problems, and their own frustrations. One said, “I’m angered when I’m referred to as taxpayer-this and taxpayer-that! I’m a whole person, a citizen of this still-great City, an appreciaDoug tive user and conDawson tributor to San Diego services, and a citizen concerned for all of us. I’m not just a taxpaying wallet.” Frustrations come from many residents, and these volunteers were voicing their own worries about the library’s beloved services and overall wellbeing. Many patrons have been asking about how the city’s budget constrictions will be affecting our library. The simple but uneasy answer is: we don’t know yet. The city’s department

heads, e.g., the library department, must have their proposed budgets for FY 2012 on the mayor’s desk by April 15, after which his approved budget goes to the City Council for their approval. Mayor Sanders initially told the library that it would have to cut its budget by roughly 24 percent. Given that the materials budget has been so frequently cut in previous years, this year’s cuts will primarily land on staffing, and thus library services and/or hours. What if the La Jolla Library were closed three days a week? In 2005, when the city was faced with serious financial/budget problems, the mayor and City Council closed libraries on Sundays and reduced hours on Saturdays and Fridays. The Friends of La Jolla Library worked tirelessly in communicating our patrons’ concerns to elected officials and to find alternate solutions through private philanthropy, and thus, kept the library open on Sundays. From week to month, new data on the city’s current revenues and expenses keeps emerging, but citizens can be hard put to find consistent patterns. Now is

Otherwise, we may wake up one day soon and read that our incredible community resource, the La Jolla Library, is closed! There is much work to be done to preserve and grow our La Jolla Library. In 2011, we are beginning a comprehensive strategic planning initiative. We will be exploring numerous courses of action going forward, both public and private. We need your help.

Some questions about school spending YOUR VIEW ELVIJA CEPONYTE A concerned student I read the article about spending at La Jolla High and how Dana Shelbourne gave an interview saying teachers and staff may be in danger of being let go due to budget issues. What concerns me, as a student at the school, is why classrooms are being installed with high-

tech "smart board" systems, which the teachers not only do NOT use, but also complain about due to the space they take up in the classrooms. (Note: these pieces of equipment usually cost thousands of dollars apiece.) My classes average about 35 to 40 students each. Some people don't even have seats to sit in; we are crowded and there are teachers that don't even know some student's names ... after a WHOLE semester of

teaching them. The government is giving money to prisons in which prisoners are given top medical care and other advantages that most people in the real world do not have ... and yet our public school systems are paying the price. I could go on and on about spending, and the things that are wrong with the system. I think there's a real story here, and it's a lot more than just laying off a couple of teachers for a few extra bucks.

commitments, but some of the candidates who didn’t make it had people speak on their behalf. That’s the least we expected from the candidates. More than 1,200 ballots were sent out. The last time an election was held for Promote La Jolla — the predecessor organization — only 284 votes were cast. Here’s hoping that business owners in the Village take time to make their voices heard.

Hard work pays off for merchants association COMMUNITY LEADER’S VIEW BY SHERRI LIGHTNER Councilwoman, First District In great news for our business community, elections for the new La Jolla Village Merchants Association are being conducted now. Ballots have been mailed to all businesses located within the boundaries of the Village’s Business Improvement District and are due on today by 5 p.m. If you haven’t already completed and mailed in your ballot, it’s not too late to deliver it in person to the City of San Diego’s Office of Small Business, located in the Civic Center Plaza, 1200 Third Ave. Suite 1400, San Diego, 92101. Ballots will be counted beginning at 1 p.m. on Friday at the La Jolla Rec Center. The top 15 vote-getters will constitute the first Board of Directors for the new group. The new board will be ready to hit the ground running, thanks to the efforts of many dedicated volunteers who have worked tirelessly over the past several months to draft bylaws and a concept budget for the new group to consider. We’re looking forward to the group’s first meeting, scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 24 at the La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. The public is invited to attend. Thank you to all the community members who participated in the informational forum on the conceptual design of the Torrey Pines Corridor Project on Jan. 19. We received many good suggestions and comments from the community. The discussion on this project will be continuing with an opportunity to provide public input at the La Jolla Traffic and Transportation Board meeting at 6 p.m. on Feb. 24 at the La Jolla Rec Center. If you’d like to receive our e-newsletter, please visit www.sandiego.gov/cd1 to sign up. Please contact my office at (619) 236-6611 or sherrilightner@sandiego.gov if we can be of assistance.

OPINION

Beach access issue worth bus trip to Coastal Commission hearing COMMUNITY LEADER BY JOE DICKS President, La Jolla Shores Association The La Jolla Shores Association and other citizen groups have been watching closely as a La Jolla Shores homeowner is atJoe tempting to conDicks vince city and state authorities to close the Princess Street public beach access, which sits adjacent to his home. As chair of the La Jolla Shores Association, I attended the regularly scheduled Coastal Commission hearing in Chula Vista on

Feb. 10 to speak on this issue. Only days before, this very important item was pulled from the agenda by the homeowner, again. The homeowner pulled the Princess Street Public Beach Access issue from the agenda the last time it was scheduled to be heard in San Diego County. According to the Coastal Commission, the hearing will be postponed until the June or July time period. The location of the next hearing on this matter will likely be Orange County or Los Angeles, and this is no coincidence. This is a not-so-transparent effort to ensure that our local community does not have an opportunity to be fully heard. Many people simply cannot drop what they are doing, leave family and work, and attend out-of-town meetings. Apparently, there is nothing

that can be done about this manipulation of the Coastal Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing schedule, short of rallying a group of concerned citizens to travel north for the hearing. To that end, members of the La Jolla Shores Association will be trying to organize a bus to take just such a group up to the hearing when it next comes on the Coastal Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda so that our voices will not be squelched. Maybe a hired bus will make it easier for citizens like you and me to attend and speak out on this pressing issue. Please contact the La Jolla Shores Association at ljsa@san.rr.com if you are interested in joining in on a bus trip to the Coastal Commission hearing. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preserve our rights to the Princess Street Public Beach Access.

OBITUARIES

Tyler K. Norton May 18, 1922 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Feb. 5, 2011 A wonderful life drew peacefully to a close on February 5, 2011, when Tyler Norton quietly passed away at his home in La Jolla. Ty was born on May 18, 1922, in Oakland to Harold and Alice Norton. He was raised with his sister, Marilyn, in Alameda, and, on his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, was a fourth generation Californian. Growing up, Ty learned to sail in San Francisco Bay and loved sailing all of his life. He played football at Stanford University and was a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Navy during World War II, serving in the PaciďŹ c Theater as a communications ofďŹ cer. When the War ended he moved to Manila, in the Philippine Islands, for a job, and it was in Manila where he met his bride, Jody. In 1954 they were married in the chapel at St. James-by-theSea in La Jolla. Afterwards they returned to Manila where they

raised three daughters, Abbie, Marilyn and Beverley. After living in the Philippines for more than 20 years, Ty and Jody moved back to La Jolla where he owned and operated La Jolla Hardware for several years. During his retirement, Ty crewed across the Atlantic Ocean twice and down to Puerto Rico once on friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sailboats. These were adventures he relished. Ty often said he was a very lucky man who had lived a wonderful life. He treasured his family, loved his friends, and enjoyed making new ones. He was a story teller at heart and loved a good joke. He also enjoyed traveling, the outdoors, playing golf and cards, watching sports, and writing poems to commemorate special occasions and people. In a nutshell, he embraced life. He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, his daughters, son-in-law, grandchildren, sister, cousin, nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind many dear friends. Ty Norton will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. A Celebration of his life will be held on February 25, 2011, at 10:30 am at St. James-bythe-Sea Episcopal Church, La Jolla. A reception will follow at La Jolla Country Club. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, please send donations to the Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

A greatly deserved thanks! COMMUNITY VIEW BY DEVIN BURSTEIN La Jolla resident The ideal of community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we are not simply isolated individuals, but committed, considerate, and caring neighbors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; might be on the decline some places, but it is alive and well in La Jolla. It was this sense of community that first led me to volunteer as a trustee of the La Jolla Community Planning Association, and which has now come rushing back to reward me and my wife. When we made the decision to purchase our first home, we were scared by the possibility of having to leave our beloved La Jolla and worried that none of the local real estate agents would pay us any attention, given our relatively small budget. Then we met Todd Bloom and all that changed. Todd came highly recommended, but we had no idea how lucky we were. Todd told us not to despair, that

if we were patient, the right property would come along. He then looked, followed up, and finally, when that right place appeared, he pounced. With Todd's guidance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; literally step-by-step â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our offer was accepted. He then helped us, with unending patience, through the countless complications that came up. I have no doubt whatsoever that without Todd Bloom we would not be celebrating the closing of our first home! It is not just what Todd did, but the way he did it that caused me to write this letter. I never once felt that Todd was just doing his job. Given how hard he worked â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and how little he made â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there is no question that Todd genuinely cared (and cares) about us. We were part of his community, and he treated us like family. So, the next time you see Todd, give him some kudos for being such a great neighbor. And Todd, please know that Devin and Amanda Burstein are eternally grateful for everything you did for us.

Findings may help end itching caused by meds A team of researchers from UCSD School of Medicine and three South Korean institutions has Lynne Friedmann identified two neuronal signaling pathways activated by a topical cream used to treat a variety of skin diseases. One pathway produces therapeutic benefit; the other causes severe itching. Itching and scratching are part of an imperfectly understood sensory process that includes complex, confounding psychological factors. In fact, just thinking about itching can provoke the reaction. In many cases, the side effect of itching is severe enough to make it impossible to use otherwise effective therapies. It is hoped the new findings will lead to future drugs that effectively treat targeted conditions while blocking the cellular signals that can lead to problematic itching and scratching.

Research Report

â&#x2013; Nerves glow in surgery Accidental damage to thin or buried nerves during surgery can have severe consequences, from chronic pain to permanent paralysis. Scientists at the UCSD School of Medicine may have found a remedy: injectable fluorescent peptides that cause hard-to-see peripheral nerves to

glow, alerting surgeons to their location even before the nerves are encountered. The new study complements earlier work in surgical molecular navigation by a team of researchers that includes UCSD professor Roger Tsien, Ph.D., co-recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on green fluorescent protein. The findings are published in the online edition of the journal Nature Biotechnology. News release at http://bit.ly/dIEXQq. â&#x2013; Impacts of Airborne Particles on Climate and Water Supply Scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD (SIO) are participating in CalWater, a multiyear project to investigate the possible effects of air pollution on Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precipitation. One phase of the study involves five weeks of airborne measurements in the Sierra Nevada and Central Valley to document cloud microphysics and aerosol impacts on clouds and precipitation. The research aircraft is equipped with an aerosol particle analyzer developed at UCSD along with a suite of other state-of-the-art cloud probes and instruments. About 15 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity is generated by hydroelectric sources. The data collected and analyzed from these flights will contribute to better climate projections important to planning for Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water and energy resources.

Bloomers takes root in new location

Bloomers Flowers, long a fixture on Torrey Pines Road, has moved to a new spot at 7520 Eads Ave. Owner Kristen Tebbetts and manager/designer Melissa Orth say the new home off the busy street seems to be a hit with customers. The shop now has a 200-square-foot cooler —they didn’t have one at all at their old spot — and a larger area for the staff and a quiet, indoors sales area. They still offer the “flower-stand” so people can pick out fresh flowers, Orth noted. They also have full design capability for custom arrangements as well as weddings and other large events, Tebbetts said. KATHY DAY

Challenged Athletes Center opens its doors BY PHIL DAILEY Staff writer It's been 17 years in the making and now the Challenged Athletes Foundation finally has a home worthy of its cause. The newly minted Deni & Jeff Jacobs Challenged Athletes Center opened its doors last week, a project that got under way more than two years ago. The foundation's new home in Sorrento Valley offers a place for challenged athletes to work out and get educated. It's also a place to showcase the triumphs of just how far athletes with disabilities have come — and how far they can go despite their physical challenges. "This is a place where everyone can gather and share their experiences and share their stories," said Jeffery Essakow, who along with Bob Babbitt and Rich Kozlowski, started CAF in 1997. The organization, which prides itself on being "the world leader in empowering physically challenged athletes to find success in sport and life," has helped more than 5,000 athletes get back in the game with prosthetics, wheelchairs and education. "We believe through sport, that it makes people whole," Essakow said. "It makes people feel a sense of independence and makes them feel a sense of accomplishment." On Tuesday, Feb. 8, the center held a ribbon-cutting and building dedication

that included Mayor Jerry Sanders and hall-of-fame basketball player Bill Walton. "After two years of tenant improvements, Deni and I are so excited to see the opening of the new Challenged Athletes Center," Jeff Jacobs said. Jacobs is the former vice president at Qualcomm and now owner of Rancho Valencia Resort and Spa in Del Mar.

Highlights of the facility include: • The RC Baker Foundation CAF Educational Center, a place where people can tour, interact and learn that it takes more than a strong will to overcome physical limitations to participate in sports. • Half basketball court that will host wheelchair basketball, sit volleyball, spin, mobility and conditioning clinics onsite for the first time in the organization's history. • Matrix Training Facility adaptive sports gym to teach challenged athletes how to correctly use equipment found in their neighborhood gyms. • State of the art audio visual system graciously donated by Sony, Electronics and Meyer Sound Systems that will project the message of hope and the faces of CAF — athlete's stories triumph over adversity. About CAF The Challenged Athletes Foundation

was formed in 1997, but it was in 1994 when its three founders first put forth the idea to help injured triathlete, Jim MacLaren. That first event in La Jolla was such a success for MacLaren, it continued in 1995. In October, the San Diego Triathlon Challenge enters its 18th year at La Jolla Cove and is now considered one of the top events for all triathletes. It's an event for world-class challenged athletes and celebrities to compete with top triathletes and former Ironman winners. "The goal has always been since 1994 to try and make a difference in peoples' lives," Essakow said. "We have seen the progress of athletes we have helped."

What's ahead With its permanent home firmly in place, CAF is far from resting on its accomplishments. The organization still has many requests from athletes that they are unable to grant. "We have this goal one day to fulfill every single request that comes in," Essakow said. "We will continue to build what we believe is a one-of-a-kind building and one-of-a-kind organization to directly help individuals." ■ For more on CAF, go to www.challengedathletes.org.

Q. Walter: I’m sure you have answered this question before, but what is the difference between leasing and buying a new vehicle? I have never leased before but I try and get a new vehicle at least every five years. One of my co-workers said I Dave Stall should lease if I keep buying every five years. He said I am losing money by buying. I read your column every week and enjoy the information. A. Dave: My rule of thumb is if you are only going to keep a car for five years or less (usually the length of the lease), then I recommend leasing. If you keep vehicles for five to ten years or longer, then buying is a better deal. If you don’t know if you are going to like the vehicle you have picked out, then leasing is a good way to find out. At the end of the lease, you can refinance the vehicle and keep it if you would like, give it back, or sell it outright. A bonus to leasing is that it keeps a lot of your money in the bank with reasonable payments. The biggest pitfall to leasing is mileage. Most lease companies will give you 12,000 to 15,000 miles but if you go over your mileage, you will be charged for the extra miles — 10 to 15 cents a mile. You are also responsible for the condition of the vehicle — scratches, dents, worn tires, etc. Remember when you lease it is not your vehicle. If you are considering leasing, always make sure to see if there is a penalty to ending the lease early. Good luck! Q. Hal: I have a 1988 Ford pickup that my dad gave me. I love the truck and it runs just fine. The problem is that it leaks a little bit of oil on my driveway. My wife is having a fit! She hates to see her driveway get messy. I have had a couple of estimates to stop the leaks, but

by Dave Stall

everyone I have talked to wants to reseal the engine, which means a complete engine overhaul. I have been reading your column since you started and I remember you saying if it’s not broken don’t fix it. Since the truck runs well and passes smog, what product would you recommend I put in the crankcase to stop the oil leaks? A. Dave: I don’t recommend putting anything in the crankcase. If it leaks, let it leak. Just keep a close eye on the oil level and put the truck on the side of the house or in the street. You might even ask your wife if she wouldn’t mind if you put a drip pan in the driveway and promise to wipe it clean every day. You are correct: if it isn’t broken don’t mess with it. I have a truck myself that leaks oil, not a lot, but enough that I can’t park in the driveway either. Tell your wife when it comes time to rebuild the engine that is when you will fix it. My truck has 297,445 miles on it. I’m still saving money to rebuild the engine. Q. Roy: I heard on the radio the other day that if it is raining, you have to turn on your headlights. If not, a police offer can pull you over and give you a ticket. Is this true? What is the reasoning? I have been driving for over 40 years and never heard of such a thing. I’m not originally from San Diego and where I lived it rained a lot harder and a lot more, but we never had such a silly law. Also it is going to cause a lot of folks to have dead batteries. A. Dave: I agree with you on the point about dead batteries, but I feel having your lights on when it rains must make sense from a safety point of view. I am on the road all day long and it gives me a sense of security to have my lights on and yours too, especially your taillights. I wouldn’t get too upset about this new law. Your first offense will most likely be a warning. I would suggest walking around your vehicle to check your lights before leaving, especially if your vehicle will not warn you that your lights are left on.

Friends of the Poor will serve up spaghetti … and compassion BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor Friends of the Poor cofounder and president Jean Colarusso will host an allyou-can-eat spaghetti dinner at Mary Star of the Sea Church on Friday, Feb. 25, where for a mere $20 (wine is an additional $1), those in attendance will help raise funds for the group whose motto is “material and spiritual partnership with those most in need.” Diners will also feast on photos from Jean’s latest visit to Nigeria and hear about the Friends’ goals and success stories. When Jean went on her first trip to Nigeria in 2002, she told her family it would be her only trip, but the La Jolla resident just completed her 13th. “I absolutely fell in love with the people and their spirituality,” Jean said, “I truly believe God sent us to answer their prayers.” Jean’s friend, the late Dr. Anita Figueredo (the first female surgeon in San Diego) formed Children of the Poor in 1998. When Figueredo passed away last February at age 93, her daughter, Teresa Doyle, Ph.D. joined forces with Jean to continue the work of Friends of the Poor. The team includes vice-president Carmina Morfin and

We buy our own plane tickets and so do those who accompany us to Nigeria. We really think God honors hard work and feel that He has blessed our mission because of how our organization is run.” Jean makes a yearly pilgrimage to check up on her various projects in Minna, located two hours from the Nigerian capital of Abuja, and the rural Idha, eight

COURTESY hours away. “I have never been disappointed,” Jean said proudly of the progress she views. On her most recent twoweek visit, Jean was thrilled to see the advancement of an ambitious water project. Finding that the city water was too expensive and not clean, Friends of the Poor set about creating a six-well system to provide their compound with clean, fresh water that will eventually be bottled. One of the reasons the compound was in dire need of clean water is that it’s home to a first class hospital — complete with a full laboratory, wards with new

bedding, a birthing room, and a pharmacy. “Nigeria has one of the highest mother and child mortality rates in the world and many mothers are HIVpositive. We have had 500 births in our hospital with no deaths — and no children born there have been born with the disease,” Jean said triumphant. The Idha compound also includes a teen center to educate the youth about how HIV is spread and prevented. Despite its somber mission, the center boasts a computer room, sewing machines and other tools to provide teens with opportunities to advance.

There are also ping-pong tables and plays are frequently staged. One of Jean’s biggest undertakings is an academy for girls. Spanning 93 acres, the land was a gift from 20 local chiefs — half Christian and half Muslim. The school will eventually accommodate 400 students. “In Nigeria the girls leave school after sixth grade to work in the fields or gather water,” Jean explained. “We offer scholarships and our school educates girls from wealthy families, too. Not only do they help with funding, but they bridge the gap between the poor and the rich.”

The compound’s bakery specializes in whole grain treats and the constantly overflowing church displays an 8- by 7-foot crucifix with an African likeness of Jesus. Despite the compound’s many merits, it is the people who perpetually amaze Jean. Her face glows when talking about David, who is deaf, and his wife Elizabeth, who has polio. Jean helped David open his own business fixing mopeds (a lucrative career that has helped many Nigerian men advance) and Elizabeth now has help caring for their sons. Friday, the prideful owner of a T-shirt stand, is another one of Jean’s success stories.

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Twenty-three women’s collective giving groups will come together in San Diego March 1-3 to network and explore the power of collaboration to make a difference in their communities as guests of the San Diego Women’s Foundation (SDWF). The Women’s Collective Giving Network unites women philanthropists from around the country who are committed to pooling dollars for philanthropic power. “Women are taking the lead in philanthropy fueling positive change with maximum impact, evidenced by the significant growth in women’s collective giving funds nationally,” said Cindy Olmstead president and founding Member of SDWF. “We are delighted to provide a forum that brings

together talented women.” Speakers will include women from the inspirational book “The Necklace,” who will share their stories of how the power of connection can transform an individual for the greater good. SDWF was established in 2000 to educate and inspire women to engage in sustainable philanthropy to strengthen the San Diego region. Made up of 200-plus members who contribute $2,000 each year for a minimum of five years, SDWF has granted $1.9 million to 53 non-profit community projects since its inception and created an endowment of $2 million. SDWF is a supporting organization of The San Diego Foundation. (619) 235-2300. sdwomensfoundation.org

TRUE OR FALSE?

The third Monday in February is designated as Washington’s Birthday, more commonly known as Presidents Day. True. Many across the newly formed United States celebrated Washington’s birthday in the 17th century while Washington was still alive. However, it wasn’t until 1885 that Chester Arthur signed the bill that made it a federal holiday. Even though many states celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday concurrently with Washington’s, it is not a federally designated holiday. On Feb. 22 of almost every year since 1888, Washington’s Farewell Address has been read in the U.S. Senate. While this does not happen on Presidents Day, it is an annual celebration of Washington’s Birthday that stems from 1862 when the Address was read as a way to boost morale during the Civil War. — americanhistory.about.com

When the occasion calls for ‘grand’ the Addison stands ready to serve BY KELLEY CARLSON

Contributor ddison at The Grand Del Mar is a world-class restaurant with a relaxed Southern California influence. “People come here for the experience — it’s not really stuffy dining,” Executive Chef William Bradley said. “Service, wine, food — it’s approachable now.” The award-winning establishment has a decidedly European atmosphere. Guests enter through an iron-and-glass doorway trimmed with gold accents into a foyer with a 20-foot-high pyramid ceiling, and flooring featuring inlaid limestone and aubergine marble. While waiting for a table, patrons may linger in several areas: The Library, with cushioned chairs, a fireplace and books; the patio, which offers sweeping views of The Grand Del Mar’s private 18-hole golf course; or a full-service bar made of a rich wood that is lit by blue micro lights. For the actual dining, guests have several options from which to choose. The main area seats up to 80 people. There are large windows, a limestone fireplace

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: Addison’s Calvadospoached Apricots imported from Italy, and arches and columns. As an added touch, patrons can peer through the windows of the air-conditioned, 3,600-bottle wine room. The bottles are obtained from vineyards around the world, along with California top vintage cult wines. The entire dining staff is certified as sommeliers and ready to help guests make selections, Bradley said. For special occasions, such as anniversaries and weddings, Addison has a private dining room that seats up to 40 people. There is also a Chef’s Table where Bradley presents each course and explains the back-

ground of the dishes. The Chef’s Table, which holds up to 12 people, is adjacent to the kitchen and main dining room. Bradley recommends that participants in the Chef’s Table announce all food allergies before arrival to ensure a great experience. On the menu for all restaurant guests is contemporary French cuisine that incorporates fresh, local ingredients. Much of the produce comes from Crow’s Pass Farms in Temecula, but some is obtained from Fallbrook and other sites around the region. There are three- and fourcourse prix-fixe menus, along with a Carte Blanche Menu for which Bradley creates “seven courses for the table.” There is also a cheese cart featuring selections from California, Wisconsin, Italy and France. Addison’s signature winter dish (and Bradley’s personal favorite) is Alaskan King Crab with Cured Lemon and Tahitian Vanilla. “We dare to be different,” Bradley said. “We don’t follow trends. We have a strong respect for tradition and genuine hospitality, which is timeless — regardless of the current trends.”

The flooring, including the bar area, features inlaid limestone and aubergine marble.

Chef Bernard said it’s encouraging to see kids behind the stands at farmers markets where they acquire a taste for fresh land-totable foods. The master chef waxes poetic comparing a painter’s use of color on a canvas to a chef’s use of spices in the kitchen. “When both finish their Bernard Guillas masterpieces, you have a joy for the art and the canvas of flavor explodes,” he said.

Stone’s noteworthy collection contains some 500 maps and atlases that span the 1400s to mid1900s with “items that would be considered rare cartographic material — and most have some critical importance in a historical or political context,” he added. Indeed. Like his 1777 “Theatre of the American Revolution” map produced to inform the French public of Burgoyne’s surrender to the American Army at Saratoga. Or his fur trade map from the 1600s with an ominous red line down the watercourse between Labrador and Nova Scotia dividing the French and British “interests” in North America. Or his fanciful 1958 “Southern California Roads to Romance” map, once a developer’s

Melissa Fay admires one of the 500 items at the new La Jolla Map & Atlas Museum. SUSAN DEMAGGIO marketing dream. Family friend Melissa Fay moved through the museum studying the maps with awe. “You can learn a lot about people’s perceptions of the world by looking at their maps,” she said. “And the maps are really amazing works of art when you consider that they were all done by hand — no computers or graphic designers back then.” Stone, 48, is originally from Connecticut. He moved to La Jolla with his family seven years ago. He said his fascination with maps blossomed with a visit to the Lancaster, Pa. fair when he was dating Karen. A

vendor was selling maps and their beauty and educational value captivated him. Stone attended Duke University and Harvard Business School going on to establish the private firm, Westwind Investors. He serves on the board of the San Diego Museum of Art and also advises the board of the Norman B. Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library. His love of old maps led him to befriend Barry Ruderman, 48, a La Jollan who’s become “the largest online antiquarian map seller in the world,” and Daniel Crouch, 36, who created the map and

atlas department of Bernhard Shapero Rare Books in London. Both men spoke at the museum opening and applauded the collection. Crouch advised viewers to keep three things in mind when looking at maps from antiquity — practicality, politics and price. “One of the earliest maps ever discovered from about 1380, covered the seas and basically said at the bottom corner, ‘There are really good fish here.’ That was practical information back then!” In regard to a map’s politics, the elaborately illustrated Dutch maps from the 1600s clearly tout their trading prowess. The price of a map was (and is) determined by its details and the materials it’s made from — those made for kings and courtesans were (and remain) costly and valuable possessions. Though none of the items in the museum are for sale, visitors who are interested will be directed to vendors. Stone declined to comment on the value of his collection.

Did you know? ■ A map reflects the priorities, sensibilities, fears, and the state of knowledge of the mapmaker and his or her cultural context. ■ The map is one of the oldest forms of nonverbal communication. Humans were probably drawing maps before they were writing texts. Mapmaking may even predate formal language. ■ As far as historians and geographers can determine, every culture in every part of the world uses and makes maps. ■ The earliest known maps are of the heavens, not the Earth. Dots dating to 16,500 BCE found on the walls of the Lascaux, France caves map out the night sky. ■ Cave painting and rock carvings used simple visual elements that may have aided in recognizing landscape features, such as hills or dwellings. A map-like representation of a mountain, river, valleys and routes around Pavlov in the Czech Republic has been dated to 25,000 BP. SOURCE: Center for History and New Media, George Mason University

Reagan Library’s new looks herald 100th birthday year events BY MERA KELLEY Contributor Nestled in the heart of Simi Valley is a library like no other in America and the state of the art technology used in The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum’s recent renovation makes it perhaps unique in the world. I visited on Feb. 4 on the occasion marking the late president’s 100th birth date. It also marked the first official opening of the gallery of exhibitions for visitors from throughout the world. The festivities started at noon and closed at 8 p.m. A birthday cake was served after dinner. The day was sponsored by General Electric and featured remarks by Nancy Reagan, actor Gary Sinise, James Baker, who held many offices in several Republican administrations, and Fred Ryan, Jr. chairman of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith and Lee Greenwood performed, as did The Beach Boys — all choices of

Nancy Reagan. The Marine Band played as a fly-over by VFA-154 Black Knights followed a loud 21-cannon salute, which could be heard for miles. Reagan’s cronies quipped that were Reagan here today, he might have been watching the Super Bowl instead of staying for all the folderol. On Feb. 7, the Library/ Museum was open for the first time to the public since the renovation. Birthday cake was again served until the

last piece was given away. That evening, an elaborate invitation-only dinner-dance was held “below” the threestory building housing the original Air Force One and a yearlong party of museum special events was underway! Being part of this oncein-a-lifetime celebration was an exhilarating experience, and the memories are still whirling around like confetti. Most Americans think this location is The Ranch, the land the Reagans owned

before he became Governor of California or had ever run for political office. They expect to see horses and the famous canoe he gave Nancy on their 25th wedding anniversary. However, that working ranch is in Rio del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, about an hour’s drive north. The Library/Museum occupies 30 acres of the 100 donated by a developer. Plans were conceived while the Reagans were still occupying the White House. That dream became a reality

The Memorial Site with these words by President Reagan engraved in marble: ‘I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s purpose and worth to each and every life.’ in June 1989 and was financed by private funds. Although near the residential part of the city, it has an unbroken spectacular view of the hills and valleys that typify California. After leaving office, Reagan helped build the museum. Attempting to duplicate the Oval Office with exact measurements, the architect told the President that the 18-foot ceiling of the Oval Office would not fit under the existing first floor of this building. Reagan suggested

that they dig down, scooping out enough dirt so that that the reconstructed room would be proportioned correctly according to scale. Consequently, visitors walk down into that office, which includes bronze copies of Remington sculptures, a portrait of George Washington, porcelain vases from China, a desk given by Queen Victoria to then President Hayes, and other memorabilia.

Any dream will do in J*Company’s ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ The J*Company Youth Theatre, a program of the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture, will present “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” Feb. 25-March 13 at the Garfield Theatre in La Jolla. The musical tells the story of how, though beset with adversity, Joseph perseveres through wit, faith “and a rockin’ 21st century score” to become the governor of Egypt, second in command only to the Pharaoh. Jason Chase directs the production that stars Daniel Myers, 18, of High Tech High as Joseph, along with 18 other local students in supporting roles, including David Ahmadian, Alexander Barwin, Talia Berkstein, Evan Bramberg, Samuel Brogadir, Cameron Chang, Jacob Davis, Jonathan Edzant, Emily Hoolihan, Mady Maio, Michael McDaniel, Rebecca Myers, Scott Peterson, Ethan Rappaport, Ashlen and Darien Sepulveda, Joshua Shtein and Megan Spector.

Author’s memoir on her mother reveals life in pre-1979 Iran BY JOE TASH Contributor Jasmin Darznik was helping her mother sort through her father’s things shortly after his death when a photo slipped from a stack of letters written in Persian. She was stunned — the photo showed her mother, then 13, on the day of her wedding to a man Darznik had never seen before. The revelation touched off a series Jasmin Darznik of events that led to the publication in January of “The Good Daughter,” Darznik’s memoir about her mother’s childhood and early adulthood in the family’s native Iran. Darznik, who will give a reading and sign copies of her book at Warwick’s at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22,

Lili later sent her 10 cassette tapes on which she recounted being physically abused, forced to give up her infant daughter, tricked into taking a near-fatal opium overdose, and other secrets she had never shared with Darznik or her closest friends in America. “This is all unknown to me, completely shocking, as if I was meeting another woman entirely,” said Darznik in a telephone interview about her reaction to her mother’s taped account.

Among her mother’s reasons for keeping the story secret is that in Iran, especially when her mother was growing up, divorce was considered shameful and on a par with prostitution, even when the woman’s husband beat her. Darznik, a professor of English and creative writing at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., said she decided to write the book because little has been written about the lives of ordinary Iranians during the 1950s and 1960s. “What I can offer is a true story that hasn’t been told and hopefully break down the shame and secrecy that we’ve preserved even in America in the Iranian community,” Darznik said. At the time her mother sent her the tapes, Darznik and her mother were barely on speaking terms. Darznik said her mother’s harsh rules and restrictions during her own childhood had led to her to reject both her mother and the Iranian culture.

“I didn’t want to have anything to do with this Iranian world of hers,” Darznik said. “Iran was my mother, my mother was Iran.” In fact, during her own youth and young adulthood, in the aftermath of the Iranian hostage crisis and later the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Darznik said she intentionally hid her heritage and sought to “pass” as another nationality. Darznik used her mother’s tapes as a jumping off point — she spent a year meeting with her mother and interviewing her about her life and also conducting research. The result is a book filled with rich detail about the food, the home life, the clothing and rituals of life in Tehran, Iran’s capital, in the 1950s, especially from a woman’s point of view. An example is a passage describing how 13-year-old Lili was prepared for her wedding night: “The Khorammis rented the whole bathhouse, and it was there that her aunts and cousins commenced to groom her from head to foot. First they washed her body with a mixture of milk and honey, lathered her hair with yogurt, and rinsed it clear with rose water... They scrubbed Lili vigorously with kiseh, the rough woolen mitts that drew out every impurity from the skin.They worked quickly, two of them tending to each part of her body, and

The cookbook ‘Flying Pans: Two Chefs, One World’ by Ron Oliver and Bernard Guillas was released in 2009. ($65 a class, MarineRoom.com for details). His motto is: “Enjoy the journey through the kitchen, preparing seasonal and simple meals with no fighting of flavors on the plate.” For home entertaining, Chef Bernard suggests an intimate get-together with a potluck theme that takes the pressure off the host. “Someone can do a side dish, someone else does dessert or wine, and this makes it fun.” With his Ron Oliver chef de cuisine at the Marine

Room, Guillas’ produced an award-winning cookbook, “Flying Pans: Two Chefs, One World.” Their inspiration came two years ago when the pair playfully looked at an Atlas, surveyed the 50 countries they collectively visited, and decided to collaborate on a cookbook. “Flying Pans” was received with flying colors as Cookbook of the Year at the San Diego Book Awards, and was one of the Top 10 at BookExpo America in New York/ Chef Bernard said humbly that his accolades continue to amaze him — especially when he received a call from Paris about his selection to the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was an apprentice,” he said. Only two other chefs in the U.S. will be inducted into this culinary hall of fame in Paris this spring. Chef Bernard has a dual celebration — coming home to see his family, and receiving this astronomic, gastronomic honor.

Penwomen group to offer publishing tips

Artist will discuss color at upcoming workshop

For writers on the brink: The La Jolla branch of the National League of American Penwomen will hold its regular meeting from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at the La Jolla Riford Library, room 106, 7555 Draper Ave. The program is geared to women who have enough experience, interest or training to be ready to submit work to a publisher but who don’t know how to take the next step. There will be a panel discussion with professional writers to answer any questions. The public is invited to this free event.

The La Jolla Art Association will host a free painting demonstration by Barbara McVey, 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 26 at its galleries, 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, as part of its monthly “Share your Art” program. McVey will show participants how she developed BarbMcVey an understanding of color. RSVP to Catherine MacDonald by e-mail at classes@lajollaart.org.

FROM QUESTIONS, B1 potholes on our streets are deplorable; we must make the necessary repairs. Second, power lines and poles are beginning to look like a bunch of porcupines; put these lines underground. Third, loading zones and temporary parking spaces are taking up a disproportional amount of spaces; parking spaces should be increased. Who or what inspires you? I was inspired by the opportunities that opened up for me through the love and support of my family and church. With its support, and if you are willing to work hard, this country opens its arms to you. Tell us about what you are reading. “Decision Points” by George W. Bush. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? I enjoy learning about the lives of our past presidents, therefore, I would invite John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham

Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and of course, my wife and two daughters. What do you do for fun? I enjoy traveling around the world, golfing with my buddies, and cycling around San Diego Bay on a tandem bike with my wife. The bike was a wedding present from my daughters when we got married 10 years ago! What is your most-prized possession? That would be my home here in La Jolla that I bought in 1965, and my garden. What is your greatest accomplishment? That would be having served 30 years in the U.S. Navy as a Naval aviator, landing and taking off on aircraft carriers, and fighting to keep America free. What is your motto or philosophy of life? “Keep the faith and press on.”

PAGE B16 - FEBRUARY 17, 2011 - LA JOLLA LIGHT

FROM REAGAN, B10 When entering the museum, the background of Reagan’s family and parents, early years in high school and college, as well as the family Bible used in two inaugurations are displayed. The Conrad Hilton Foundation sponsored the GuideCam, similar to an iphone, that for a small fee, visitors can use to take 40 pictures and 16 videos of the museum, returning the machine before leaving. Each photo is sent to the visitor’s e-mail for copying — a first for any museum in the world. The exhibits, including one from General Electric of Reagan’s TV days, take the visitor on a tour of his careers in movies and politics. There are two dozen hands-on projects for visitors, such as the opportunity to appear in a movie with The Gipper, then have it recorded with a museum camera for a copy to take home. Most presidents are judged on their first 100 days in office, but Reagan’s critical days stopped at 70 when the following day he survived an assassin’s bullet. Each year of his dramatic presidency is chronicled and events graphically portrayed, such as his sitting on crates to watch videos of Iron Curtain days. Each exhibit now has at least one “participation event,” such as standing in front of a podium with teleprompters to record a speech or mounting a plastic horse next to a photograph of the Reagan at the Ranch to have a picture taken “with” him and his horse. Another outstanding, but temporary, exhibit is a miniature reproduction of the White House more than 50 feet long and 18 feet wide. Seen from the front, it is recognizable, but the back is an open dollhouse, complete with furniture, chandeliers, paintings and all items sized to scale.

Space in the museum has not been enlarged since the original museum was created, but the innovations have almost doubled the displays, according to the docents and more than 350 volunteers. One of my favorite displays is of the daily notes made by President Reagan that fill seven journals and cover all eight years of his presidency. A monitor lets visitors pick a day and date, and within seconds, the selection is brought up on a screen. The entry Reagan wrote when in the hospital is poignant, “Whatever happens now, I owe my life to God and will try to serve Him in every way I can.” At the back of the museum, outdoors overlooking the mountains, is a piece of the Berlin Wall, spray-painted depicting a flower topped by a butterfly — a sign of life after death in most religions. The slab of concrete stands 10 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 8-10 inches thick with the work “FREE” scratched in red. Reagan was there when the edifice was brought to the site. The exhibit chronicles the path to Reagan’s infamous words: “”General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” One of the most poignant photographs in the museum is one of Gorbachev and Nancy. After four meetings, resulting in signed agreements by both sides to reduce/limit nuclear arms, the two leaders surprisingly became friends of mutual respect — so much so that Gorbachev and his wife Raisa were invited to The Ranch, a rare privilege reserved for old friends, but few dignitaries. Reagan had the knack of negotiation, even with adversaries.

For expert advice on local real estate, call a LA JOLLA REALTOR

To sell your home faster...use these proven strategies: 1 To get the best asking price, pull the “best comps.” 2 Realize your potential buyer is local...78% of the buying

pool either live in La Jolla or in an adjacent town—so market locally. 3 Make sure your home is marketed aggressively and showcased in local media. Strategy #1: Price is the key, so price your home to sell. Since they have the biggest sway in determining your home’s value, you want comps, which determine a price, putting yours in the most attractive standpoint. For prices of homes that sold last week, you can check the LaJolla Light real estate section.. For prices of homes that sold yesterday, go to LaJolla Light.com. Select comps as close to your address as possible. But note, there are exceptions. For example, a comp close to you may not be good because it sits higher on the hill, and has phenomenal views, or it’s closer to a main arterial or freeway. But a house similar to yours could be a mile away, and still part of the same market since neigh-

borhoods don’t always have neat boundaries. And homes in developments should be compared against comps from the same development since these homes were built together at the same time, by the same builder/developer. Remember, a good agent will help you price your home correctly.

Strategy #2: Your buyer (most likely) lives here in La Jolla or in an adjoining town...so focus your advertising in the local newspaper. According to research by First American Title company here in San Diego, the buyer for your home lives right here in La Jolla or just a few miles away. 78% of the buying

pool live within 5 miles, while 15% come from out of state and 6% from out of the county. The point is, most people moving in La Jolla are moving to a different street in La Jolla. It’s a coveted place to live. And when people move here they plant deep roots in the community. The La Jolla Light newspaper is the only paper in town that’s delivered by the U.S. Post Office into each and every home. So everybody gets it. And because the content is hyper-local, most everybody reads it. And prospective home-buyers actively search The Light for homes. Listings show up in this newspaper that don’t appear in other papers. According to the percentages, the most likely buyer for your home is reading The Light this week...and next. If you’re home isn’t shown in The Light, you’re missing a potential buyer.

Strategy #3: Make sure your home is marketed aggressively and showcased in local media. In choosing an agent, review their marketing plan for selling your home and be sure it includes advertising in the local paper. If there is more than one paper, pick the one that carries the most real estate ads. While the internet is often a free source of distribution, research by Borrell Associates shows that 66% of home buyers rely on the local newspaper, compared to only 20% using the internet. It’s your agents job to sell your home for the maximum amount. This effort takes a fully developed marketing and sales plan that includes: With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is prepared to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.

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.

10 ways to help lower your homeowners insurance costs

BY BOB KEVANE President, San Diego Association of Realtors The median price of single family homes in La Jolla was $1,332,000 in January as compared to the median price across the county, which fell slightly last month to $368,750. The high cost of homes in this neighborhood is reflected in expenses including your property taxes and homeowners insurance. The San Diego Association of Realtors, with the help of RealtorMagazine Online has compiled a list of 10 ways to lower your homeowners insurance: 1. Raise your deductible. If you can afford to pay more toward a loss that occurs, your premiums will be lower. 2. Buy your homeowners and auto policies from the same company and you’ll usually qualify for a discount. 3. Make your home less susceptible to damage. Keep roofs and drains in good repair. Retrofit your house to protect against natural disasters common to your area. 4. Keep your home safer. Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, burglar alarms, and dead-bolt locks. All of these will usually qualify for an insurance discount. 5. Insure your house for the correct amount. Remember, you’re covering replacement cost of the improvements, not market value, of the entire property. 6. Ask about discounts. For example, retirees who are home more than working people may qualify for a theft insurance discount. 7. Stay with the same insurer. In a tight insurance market, your current vendor is more likely to give you a good price. 8. See if you belong to any groups—associations, alumni groups—that offer lower insurance rates. 9. Review policy limits and value of home/possessions annually. Items depreciate and may not need as much coverage. 10. See if there’s a government-backed insurance plan. In some high-risk areas, such as coasts, federal or state government may back plans to lower rates.

Two unique exhibits open Friday at The Athenaeum The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will host an opening reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18 for two new exhibits: a first-ever retrospective of mixedmedia works spanning four decades by renowned Mexican poet and artist Alberto Blanco in “Visual Poetry/Poesía Visual," and an interactive photo-assemblage by Tijuanaborn commuter student Omar Pimienta. At the event, a time-lapse camera will be set up to record the comings and goings of visitors. Both exhibitions take part in the conceptual and graphic work involved in creating artists’ books and poetry. The exhibits will be open to public viewing Feb. 19 through March 26. A special lecture with artist Alberto Blanco is set for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011. Admission is free. According to museum press materials Blanco’s mixed-media works focus on the creative crossovers between varying disciplines — including literature, music, sculpture, photography, video, and installation. Born in Mexico City in 1951, Blanco is considered one of Mexico’s finest poets.
