La Jolla group still pushing for secession from San Diego By Pat Sherman hough La Jolla has its own mailing address, it is not, as some people who live here still believe, its own city. It is, as one group of La Jollans is well aware, part of the city of San Diego — and that group has long been irked by what they view as San Diego officials’ shoddy stewardship of their “Jewel by the Sea.” “Our sidewalks are appalling, our streets are appalling and our alleys are appalling — and it doesn’t have to be,” said Melinda Merryweather, a founding board member of Cindy Independent La Jolla, a group working to see La Jolla Greatrex, President secede from San Diego and Independent incorporate as its own city. “Cities are just becoming La Jolla too big,” Merryweather said. “I think if you have 22 children, somebody’s going to go to bed without dinner.” Merryweather and other Independent La Jolla members look toward neighboring independently governed cities, like Solana Beach and Del Mar, as examples of what La Jolla could be. They say the city of San Diego is not properly maintaining La Jolla’s beach facilities and has a disregard for its historic properties. “When I drive through Del Mar, which has only 4,000 residents, it’s immaculate — not a pothole, the trees are trimmed,”

UC San Diego Health System acquires Nevada Cancer Institute By Lynne Friedmann UC San Diego Health System is set to acquire the Nevada Cancer Institute (NVCI), which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early December 2011. The purchase price is $18 million for the four-story, 142,000-square-foot facility located in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas. NVCI will remain the official cancer institute of the state of Nevada with UC San Diego Health Service as affiliate health care provider. The arrangement represents a partnership between California and Nevada. “In light of health care reform, innovative partnerships between states and their health systems will be key to Tom increasing access to specialMcAfee ized care while managing health care costs,” said Tom McAfee, M.D., interim CEO of UC San Diego Health System and dean of clinical affairs. This strategy is already employed by other academic-based medical institutions such as the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center with locations in Texas, Arizona, Florida; and the Cleveland Clinic (Ohio; Nevada; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and next year Abu Dhabi). “This is definitely a trend that I expect to grow,” said McAfee. Immediate plans for UC San Diego NVCI include the recruitment of medical and surgical oncologists, as well as a national search for a
physician-scientist to serve as director of the institute. Insight Oncology, a management services company, will assist with the integration of the two organizations and provide operational oversight of the Las Vegas facility. With four million residents, the greater Las Vegas area is similar in population size to San Diego. Nevada patients will continue to see their current physician, now with the advantage of potentially qualifying for a wider range of clinical trials and access to surgical specialties not currently available in the region. “We anticipate that the services we will be providing will be an attractant to Las Vegas,” said Mark Adler, M.D., interim director of UC San Diego NVCI. The nonprofit NVCI opened in 2005 with ambitious goals but was hit hard by the recession leading it to file for bankruptcy protection. UC San Diego Health System used clinical revenue generated by its hospitals to purchase NVCI. No state funding was utilized. The terms of the sale also require the NVCL parent organization to raise $24 million in philanthropy to support expansion of the Nevada facility, according to Adler. While the timing of the acquisition appears opportunistic, McAfee states it is in keeping with long-term strategic plans to expand its patient-care outreach with out-of-region affiliate hospitals, clinics, and specialty centers. Less than a year ago, UC San Diego Health System acquired San Diego Cancer Center with locations in Encinitas and Vista and also
The chemotherapy infusion room at the Nevada Cancer Institute. Courtesy operates a radiation oncology site in South Bay, multi-specialty clinics in Murrieta (Riverside County), a liver clinic in Henderson, Nev., and telemedicine clinics throughout the state of California. UC San Diego Health System is comprised of UC San Diego Medical Center in Hillcrest, and UC San Diego Thornton Hospital, Moores Cancer Center, Shiley Eye Center, and Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center in La Jolla, as well as other primary and specialty practices of UC San Diego Medical Group. UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center is home to nearly 350 medical and radiation on-
cologists, cancer surgeons, and researchers. It is one of only 40 National Cancer Institutedesignated comprehensive cancer centers in the country, and the only one in the region. The designation signifies high achievement in research, clinical care, education, and community outreach and partnerships. “Our goal is that NVCL be part of the NCI umbrella,” said Adler. “We are looking into what the rules are to either expanding our NCI designation or if (NVCL) has to quality on its own.” — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach

Walter Munk discusses his life in the sciences at Riford Center event By Pat Sherman On Jan. 19, world-renowned oceanographer Walter Munk shared stories from a career as vast as the oceans he has spent 70 years studying at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Munk addressed a full house during the Distinguished Speaker Series at the La Jolla Community Center for Active Adults on La Jolla Boulevard, formerly known as The Riford Center. The venue’s name was changed late last month to more accurately reflect the demographic it serves. Despite the change, the center will carry on in homage to the late UCSD benefactor, Florence Seeley Riford, said center board member Reena Horowitz. Beginning his presentation, Munk shared some of the changes he has witnessed in La Jolla since arriving in 1939 to accept a summer job at Scripps, fresh from earning his bachelor’s degree in physics at the California Institute of Technology. “Scripps had 15 employees, including the gardener,” said Munk, 94. “It now has 1,500.” Giving partial credit to the U.S. Navy for his lengthy career, Munk confided that it was not a love of oceanography that brought him to La Jolla. “That wouldn’t be the truth,” he said. “I was dating a girl at Scripps College and she was spending the summer in La Jolla. Well, that romance did not last, but I fell in love with Scripps and I have been in love with Scripps ever since.” The director of Scripps at the time, oceanographer Harald Ulrik Sverdrup, took Munk on as a doctoral student. Munk recalled his mentor discussing his belief that scientists had missed “a major problem” related to “the melting processes at the bottom of floating ice sheets.” Munk applied for U.S. citizenship following the occupation and annexation of the German Republic of Austria into Nazi Germany, enlisting in the U.S. Army as a private in 1939. He was later excused from service to help with defense-related research at Scripps, such as the development of methods used to predict surf conditions for Allied landings in North Africa and the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Munk and other researchers determined that there were only a few days a month when weather conditions would be favorable for a landing at Normandy. Though wave conditions turned out to be very poor, after postponing the attack for 24 hours General Dwight Eisenhower proceeded, believing the Allied Forces would lose the element of surprise if they waited for the next tidal cycle. “General Eisenhower had the courage to make a decision, and I think it was the right one,” Munk said. Between 1946 and 1958, Munk and his team helped analyze water conditions during the nuclear weapons testing at Bikini

Pat Sherman Atoll, located in the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. The tests included a 180-foot deep lagoon explosion. Munk said he and his crew used the remnants of two cases of beer to test the rise in water levels caused by the blast — nailing beer cans to palm trees at various heights. On March 1, 1954, Monk witnessed the explosion of a 17-megaton hydrogen bomb detonated by the U.S. at Bikini Atoll. The covert blast, known as Castle Bravo, resulted in the most severe radiological contamination ever caused by the U.S. Fallout contaminated nearby islanders and the crew of a Japanese fishing boat. “It was a frightening sight that I have not forgotten after all these years,” Munk said, quipping: “I was there when we were rained upon, but I haven’t been affected, been affected, been affected.” Munk closed his presentation by weighing in on the topic of global warming and its effect on sea level, the fear his mentor at Scripps had confided in him when he first arrived in 1939. “Between 1950 and 1990, sea level rose at the rate of 1.5 millimeters per year, of which about one-third was due to thermal expansion of the warming ocean and the other two-thirds were not understood,” he said. “I wrote a paper calling it an enigma. … “Now, the sea level is rising at 3-½ millimeters per year and we know that most of the water comes from the melting of the Earth’s glaciers,” he said. “The sea level rise is really scary. … If it goes up a meter (within the next 100 years), which I think it will, 150 million people around the world (will be displaced). The U.S. Navy and other government organizations have accepted that as a security issue.”

Group has three-point plan for saving post office By Dave Schwab Time is short for the grassroots movement to save La Jolla’s post office. “In 60 to 90 days, theoretically, the post office could be sold,” warned community planner Joe LaCava, one of a dozen members of Save the La Jolla Post Office Committee. “This is moving really fast,” agreed Leslie Davis, chair of the ad-hoc group. “We want to let them (postal service)

committee is comprised of representatives from the La Jolla Historical Society, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, community advisory groups and interested citizens including Ellen Merewether, who established a Post Office Preservation Fund on the historical society’s website with a $10,000 donation. Two weeks ago, the U.S. Postal Service’s San Diego District identified La Jolla’s main post office at 1140 Wall St. as “a valuable asset whose sale would generate much-needed capital for the Postal Service.” At that time, USPS initiated a formal process to appraise the Wall Street
building, arrange for its sale to the highest bidder, and find a suitable spot nearby to relocate postal operations. Holding its inaugural meeting Jan. 27 at Balmer Annex of Wisteria Cottage, the postal preservation group laid the groundwork for a multifaceted effort to achieve its objective. That drive is to include lobbying local legislators, resubmitting an application to have the Wall Street Post Office building designated “historic,” and launching a publicity campaign to save the post office at a public rally 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 4 at Wisteria Cottage.

volunteered services in an area of expertise. Diane Kane and Angeles Leira will spearhead the effort to have the Wall Street facility declared historic. The building, Leira noted, is not only deserving of preservation as “a part of the history of the community,” but because it has become “a social meeting hub.” LaCava will enlist the aid of Congress members Susan Davis and Brian Bilbray and Senator Diane Feinstein. Realtor Patrick Ahern will investigate the property’s resale value, estimated at $4$6 million. Murrieta of the Village Merchants Association, will evaluate the post office’s business impact and potential. “This is critically important for our local economy,” Murrieta said. Regarding the post office’s move to relocate its Wall Street facility, committee chair Davis noted the group must take community action to “slow this down and make a difference.” Ideally, the committee would like to save the post office, preserving its existing status. “That’s unrealistic,” pointed out LaCava after the meeting, “so our next priority is a beneficial purchase of the property with the post office being preserved in the front of the building, and some adaptive reuse for the remainder of the building. “But the sense of urgency
■ 2. Resubmit application to have Wall Street post office building designated ‘historic’ ■ 3. Launch petition campaign to save the building at public rally 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Wisteria Cottage — that’s the main challenge,” he added. David Rouse, a real estate specialist with the USPS on the East Coast, said there must be a public solicitation to put the Wall Street postal property on the market. “That’s definitely something that’s going to occur,” he said. “We’re very early in this process and going through due diligence.” Diana Alvarado, with the Postal Service in San Francisco, noted postal service in La Jolla is not being terminated. “There’s a big difference between a closure, a consolidation, and a relocation,” she said. “We’re not leaving La Jolla without postal service.” She said postal relocation in La Jolla could be a winwin. “We get out of a building that’s too large, save operational expenses, go into a right-sized facility, and the building goes back on the tax rolls,” she said. The committee’s next meeting is Feb. 3 at 1:30 p.m. in the Balmer Annex of Wisteria Cottage.

From UCSD, A1 Architects of San Diego, will feature a 75seat tiered classroom, two 45-seat instructional flat classrooms, study rooms, conference rooms, a student media room, student support offices, faculty offices, executive classrooms and research areas. It will also include a 295-seat auditorium to accommodate conferences and student programs, named in honor of Philanthropists Betty and Dr. J Robert Beyster. The building will be used by faculty and students in the school’s Masters of Business Administration and Doctor of Philosophy programs, as well as business professionals seeking continuing education. The five-story structure will connect with the first phase, also known as Otterson Hall, on four levels. It is expected to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification. Phase I of the Rady School opened in June of 2007. n Also scheduled for completion in April is the new Southwest Fisheries Science Center laboratory, located on the north side of La Jolla Shores Drive across from Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the existing Southwest Fisheries Science Center. The $26.1 million project, originally scheduled for completion in December, was delayed due to the magnitude of the development, UCSD officials said. UCSD is leasing land for the project to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with which it has a long, collaborative research history. The 124,000-square-foot structure will contain an experimental aquarium, animal necropsy lab, specimen processing lab, ge-

Construction of the facility was paid for in part by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds. The original Southwest Fisheries facility is located on the edge of a 200-foot cliff on the coastal side of La Jolla Shores Drive — a site deemed too precarious for long-term use. Removal of three buildings and native plant restoration at the original Southwest Fisheries site will begin in April. The new building design includes photovoltaic (solar) cells, water retention systems, recycled materials and green roofs planted with California coastal chaparral. It is expected to earn a LEED gold certification. A Marine Ecosystem Sensing, Observation and Modeling Laboratory, slated for completion in May of 2013, will be located across the street from the new Southwest Fisheries building. n UCSD’s Structural and Nano Materials Engineering Building, located diagonally across from Canyonview Aquatic

The $85.2 million project, designed by Safdie Rabines and Miller Hull architects, is funded almost entirely by the state. The 169,000-square-foot project is expected to receive LEED sliver certification. It will provide instruction and research space for the Department of Structural Engineering and the Department of Visual Arts, merging the areas of advanced materials testing with scientific visualization. n A $26.1 million parking structure at UCSD Medical Center should be complete early this month. The project provides 1,245 parking spaces and a recreation field, under which some of the spaces were constructed.
In other campus construction projects: • Roughly $2.1 million in improvements to the campus’s theater district should be finished in June. The project includes the addition of 1,200 square feet onto the existing Mandell Weiss Theatre for a new visitor center. The work will include enhanced signage, simplified pedestrian circulation and improved nighttime lighting, as well as restoration of two acres of grove reserve that lend an identifiable character to the theater district. • A 75,000-square-foot office building on the east campus was completed in October, at a cost of $35.2 million.

Election 2012: Who are Wayne Iverson and John Stahl? Note: The La Jolla Light recently spoke with Republican congressional candidates Wayne Iverson and John Stahl to discuss their bids to represent the newly redrawn 52nd District. Interviews with the remaining candidates in the race — Democrats Scott Peters and Lori Saldaña and Republican Brian Bilbray — which ran in previous editions of the Light, can be viewed at lajollalight.com By Pat Sherman Though perhaps not as well known or funded as their rivals in the race for San Diego’s 52nd District congressional seat, Republicans Wayne Iverson and John Stahl both believe they have something to offer constituents of the newly redrawn district, which includes La Jolla. The La Jolla Light spoke with both candidates last month via phone. Read the entire interview at lajollalight.com
Wayne Iverson A physician with offices in Poway and La Jolla who specializes in heart attack and stroke prevention, Iverson spent the past several years challenging the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) — often referred to derisively as “Obamacare.” Iverson, a graduate of Chicago’s Northwestern University Medical School who completed his residency at Scripps Mercy Hospital, contends that the law was “poorly crafted” and “overreaching.” The Tierrasanta resident helped establish
the graduate medical education program at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, serving as its chair for several years. La Jolla Light: You want to see a repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. What would you like to see in its place? Wayne Iverson: There are some real significant things that could be done. Medicaid could be sent back to the states in block grants (federal lump-sum payments to states), and let the states decide how to handle indigent care. In California, we’re facing this problem now. Governor Brown would be very much in favor of that, so that’s a nonpartisan issue. The other thing would be to allow people to buy insurance across state lines. If they could do that, it would give the consumer a chance to have the insurance companies compete. That would be beneficial to people. We also want to make certain we hang onto health savings accounts, because people can put money into these accounts and then have some tax benefits with that and use that judiciously to purchase medical care. There is good legislation that’s been written by (Georgia Congressman) Tom Price — H.R. 3000, the Empowering Patients First Act. This puts the patients back in control of their healthcare. Unfortunately, in the prior
Wayne Iverson congress, while Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker of the House, this bill (was) turned down. We’d like to bring that back again. La Jolla Light: What do you see as your opponents’ primary deficiencies? Wayne Iverson: I consider my opponents to be Scott Peters and Lori Saldaña. I think I offer a significant alternative to these people. The Democrats have been taking us in the wrong direction for the last two election cycles and ever since President Obama has taken over, the country has had a great deal of difficulty. It may be unfair to say that it’s all the Democrats’ fault. However, there’s certain ways of judiciously budgeting and spending that are consistent with a stronger economy

Peters is going to have to run on his record of public service in the downtown San Diego area. I think that you can go back and take a look at how he performed when he was on the city council. Right now the city of San Diego is facing terrible budgetary problems related to the pensions. He was at the control of the city council at the time that a lot of these things were brought in. La Jolla Light: How to you plan to combat Bilbray’s power of incumbency? Wayne Iverson: I think Brian Bilbray has served the community well while he has been a congressman … but if you go back and take a look at his voting record, he hasn’t been as conservative as Duncan Hunter or Darell Issa. Bilbray is what you’d consider a moderate Republican. I think in past decades there was some thought that moderate Republicans had something to offer the community, but with the terrible economic situation we currently have, the thing that I’ve been hearing from the community since July is that they want somebody to take a stronger stance against spending and a stronger stance about cutting the deficit — and that’s where I think I present a significant advantage over Congressman Bilbray. La Jolla Light: Are you aligned with the Tea Party? Wayne Iverson: Definitely. I’m the co-organizer of the National Doctors Tea Party. We had our tea party over at Spanish Landing in August of 2010. I’m (also) affiliated with a conservative organization that has physicians all across the United States, the Association of

Instead of these districts being crafted to be uncompetitive, the law should require them to be competitive. This is why I’m excited about running in this race. It’s the only unsafe seat in San Diego County. La Jolla Light: Say something about your affiliation with the Tea Party. John Stahl: I would prefer to call it a ‘conservative coalition.’ There’s the Tea Party in San Diego, there’s the 858 Tea Party, there’s the North County Conservatives, there’s the Election Integrity Project. I look at those groups as basically fiscal conservatives who, half of them care about social issues, some don’t. I find them to be regular folks. Most of them are working people, taxpayers, retired — there’s not a lot of young people there. I don’t see them as radical; I don’t see them as extreme. The Tea Party gets a little bit of a negative tone to it sometimes, but I look at this group as a conservative coalition. I have my own campaign team. It’s all volunteers. Basically that’s my army, my navy. I look at the other groups as my national guard. I’m going to use these groups (in other areas). I’m going to talk to them (and say) ‘There’s only one competitive Congressional district in this county, so if you want to see if we can make a change, you’ve got to help me.’

John Stahl Former Naval Aviator John Stahl spent 30 years in the semiconductor industry, transferring to San Diego with Raytheon Semiconductor as vice-president of worldwide sales in 1995. A resident of Del Mar, Stahl characterizes himself as a pro-life, fiscal conservative and has vowed not to collect Political Action Committee (PAC) money from special interest groups. The year before moving to San Diego, Stahl ran unsuccessfully for Congress, challenging fellow Republican and incumbent Rep. E. Clay Shaw Jr. Stahl also considers himself aligned with the Tea Party.

Panel of Iranian-Americans holds culture discussion at UCSD BY JOE TASH A group of successful, prominent Iranian-Americans took to the stage of UCSD’s Mandeville Auditorium Jan. 29 in an event designed to motivate youth and showcase the accomplishments of the IranianAmerican immigrant community. “Every good thing you do makes all of us look good; there’s nothing too small,” said Firoozah Dumas, a humorist and author of “Funny in Farsi,” urging the young people in the audience to be involved in community service. “You have to invest in excellence. You have to work hard,” said Vali Nasr, a professor of international politics at Tufts University, author and former senior advisor to the Obama Administration on issues related to Afghanistan and Pakistan. The event, called “Passing the Torch of Success,” was organized by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans,” or PAAIA, and has been held in cities around the country in recent years. Sunday’s sold-out event, which drew an audience of about 800 people, marked its debut in San Diego. Jamile Palizban of Rancho Santa Fe, an event organizer, said one goal of the forum was “to empower
From left, hosts Maz Jobrani and Shally Zomorodi interview Vali Nasr, professor of international politics and diplomacy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University as his image is projected on the big screen. our young Iranian kids and to teach them a little about our community.” Maryam Famourzadeh, also of Rancho Santa Fe, and co-chair of PAAIA’s San Diego chapter, said she has two teen-age daughters. “I want to make sure they grow up proud Iranian-Americans.” Another goal of the event — and of PAAIA — is to show the general
public in the United States what the Iranian-American community is about, said Palizban. “We are not all terrorists. It breaks our heart, the actions of the Iranian government. We don’t like it, we don’t support it. That’s why we came here,” she said. More than 90 percent of the Iranians in the United States came after Iran’s Islamic revolution of
1979, and their children have been born and raised here, she said. La Jolla resident Ali Mojdehi, a member of PAAIA’s national board of directors, said the event was designed to do three things: “educate, inspire and empower.” That sentiment was echoed by Aref Tehranian of La Jolla, president of the Iranian Student Association at UCSD. The speakers, said Tehranian, would share “the inspirational and motivational ideas that brought them here, and pass them on to the younger generation.” Actor and comedian Maz Jobrani, a founding member of the “Axis of Evil Comedy Tour,” and Fox 5 Morning News anchor Shally Zomorodi served as interviewers for the program. The featured guests included a business executive, authors, musicians, a philanthropist, and a local physician, Shahram Daneshmand, who started a program called “Miracle Babies” to assist families with infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. San Diego State University student Ehsan Lari said he wanted to attend because he had read about previous Passing the Torch events, and friends attended a similar event
at UC Berkeley. However, because Sunday’s event was a sellout, he was not sure if he would be able to get a ticket. “I want to get inspired by their experiences,” he said of the speakers. “I just want to get the feel of what this is all about.” Among the challenges facing Iranian-Americans is the tension between the United States and Iran, the speakers acknowledged Sunday. With the United States imposing economic sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, and some political leaders even talking about possible military action to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, Iranian-Americans feel the pressure in their daily lives. “It’s a very trying time for the Iranian community,” said Nasr, the Tufts professor and author of the New York Times bestseller “Forces of Fortune.” But in spite of those hurdles, he said, Iranian-Americans have much to offer their adopted country, from serving as cultural ambassadors, to careers in government service. “Ultimately if we’re going to be responsible citizens of America, we have to give back and participate in political life,” he said.
Committee wants valet parking master plan devised for businesses along Prospect Street
City reschedules hearing on a Shores home project
By Dave Schwab La Jolla Traffic & Transportation (TNT) Committee called once again for creation of an overall master plan delineating valet parking in the Village after voting down a new request for more service at its Jan. 26 meeting. The group voted to deny a request for designating a new valet parking zone at 7979 Ivanhoe Ave. and 484 Prospect St., for a new restaurant, Amaya La Jolla. The vote was 5 for, 0 op-
An appeal of an environmental negative declaration for demolition of an existing single-family home at 8490 Whale Watch Way in La Jolla Shores, considered by some to be out of scale and character with the surrounding community, has been rescheduled to Monday, Feb. 6 starting at 2 p.m. in Council Chambers on the 12th floor of City Hall, 202 C St. The hearing was postponed from Jan. 24 due to Council time constraints. The project proposes a tear down of an existing dwelling and
posed, with three abstentions. Dan Courtney made the motion, pending completion of a valet master plan for the Village. Committee member Tom Brady said, “There is no question that valet parking is absolutely critical to the restaurants, but it’s a question of getting the most efficient use of valet spots.” Brady suggested the private companies involved in providing paid parking and valet in town, like Ace and Sunset,
come together and “powwow to get the elements of a master plan for valet parking on Prospect Street.” Committee member Orrin Gabsch cautioned, “there is no way every restaurant in the Village can have valet parking.” TNT member Keith Kelman said, “We need to get the opinions from many more merchants as to the impacts of more valet space,” before making any final decisions on the matter.
replacement with a new one. The appeal has been filed on grounds that this project could only be built in La Jolla Shores because Floor Area Ratios (FARs) there (guidelines determining the proportionate size of homes allowed on lots) is far less restrictive than it is elsewhere in the city of San Diego. City staff’s recommendation is to deny the appeal and adopt the negative declaration, which holds there are no environmental impacts associated with the project that could not be compensated for.
Woman robbed, assaulted on Girard
USC launches website for climate education
By Dave Schwab An unidentified female pedestrian was beaten and had her purse and other personal items stolen when she was attacked by two male assailants shortly after midnight on Saturday, Jan. 28 on her way to Vons supermarket at 7544 Girard Ave. in La Jolla. “She was walking to Vons to buy cigarettes and two males came up from behind her yelling obscenities at her,” said Alan Alvarez, community relations officer for San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division. “When she turned, they hit her

from behind with a hand-carried object and stole her purse.” Police are continuing their investigation into the incident and are looking for two suspects. Alvarez said one suspect is a white male, approximately 17 years old, who is more than six feet tall and weighs approximately 185 pounds. The suspect was wearing a black hoodie and dark pants. Alvarez described the other suspect as a Hispanic male, 5 ft., 6 in. tall, weighing about 130 pounds, with black hair, who was wearing a dark sweatshirt.
awarded to USD and its organizational partners. The award is one of only 15 awards nationwide that were made to institutions taking the lead in planning collaborations centered on increasing the public’s understanding of climate science. “Climate science education and communication strategies are keys to the success of this grant,” said business leader and advisory board chairman Mike McDade. “The ultimate goal for the project is to develop a deeper understanding of climate change impacts and the science that supports it.”

From Secede, A1 Merryweather said. “Here, we have megamansions next to cottages. “If they can destroy an old house and put up a new one, they get a new tax base,” she said. “It’s just better for them.” Independent La Jolla members hope to take their quest to voters in the next few years. The group’s president, Cindy Greatrex, moved to La Jolla four years ago, not long after helping the beachside village of Sagaponack, New York incorporate as a city. Though many have criticized La Jolla’s potential separation from San Diego as a tall order that San Diego officials will never allow, Greatrex said it is not as difficult a prospect as people might believe. “I’m telling you, if you talk to people around town, more people than not want this,” she said. “In this country as a whole, there has never been one village that became a city and then went back, and said, ‘Man, we are over our heads; we want out.’ It’s very doable.” Greatrex envisions the city forming its own government, with a mayor and city council, while contracting out the majority of its services — including police, fire protection, code compliance, lifeguard service, animal control, land use planning and road maintenance — to the city of San Diego. It’s a template that most communities that convert to cities have used. Longtime La Jolla resident and former U.S. congressional representative Lynn Schenk, who also served as a chief of staff to Gov. Gray Davis, got onboard the secession movement after attending an Independent La Jolla meeting several years ago. Like a couple going through a divorce, Schenk said La Jolla would have to make multi-million dollar “alimony” payments to the city of San Diego over a seven-year period. Schenk believes it’s reasonable for La Jollans to make up for San Diego’s sudden loss
in tax revenue. However, the separation also would require more than 50 percent approval from the citizens of greater San Diego. “Having to have the bigger city vote its approval is fundamentally unfair to the community that wants to break away and be masters of their own destiny,” Schenk said, noting that discussions are taking place in the state legislature that could potentially remove that requirement, as long as a village pays its “alimony.” Schenk said she believes La Jolla has more resources to stand on its own than some other cities that have incorporated, including a “bigger tax base, larger population, and more diverse economic base.” “Depending on how the lines are drawn we have major universities, hospitals, research institutions. … We’ve got quite a lot,” Schenk said. In 2005, Independent La Jolla members spent about $45,000 to have an independent feasibility study conducted by a Sacramento firm, which they say shows that La Jolla has the money and resources to govern itself. “This company had to go through every single thing you could think of about La Jolla — the topography, the demographics, the tax base, every tiny detail,” Greatrex said. Before proceeding with a vote, Greatrex said the study must be updated to reflect current property and transient occupancy taxes (which are tacked onto hotel guests’ tabs), as well as a metes and bounds survey for the 92037 area code to reflect new development, erosion, land encroachments and other changes since the first survey was completed. The group must also pay applicable fees to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), a state-mandated agency that helps local communities navigate the legal and bureaucratic process of incorporating as a city. Total secession costs for La Jolla, which has roughly 44,000 residents, is close to $2

million Greatrex said, about half of which would be spent on a much-needed print and broadcast advertising blitz to persuade San Diego voters that secession is a sound idea. “Studies have shown a significant correlation between (advertising) monies spent and the outcome of elections,” Greatrex said. Schenk said timing is the key to the movement’s success. “When a critical mass of La Jollans who live here year-round get disgusted enough with the potholes, with the traffic, with the dirt, with the unenforceable laws … and want to take their destiny in their own hands, it can happen and I think it will,” Schenk said.

re you going? Saturday’s rally to Save La Jolla Post Office (9:30-10:30 a.m. Feb. 4 at Wisteria Cottage) will be a public display of a behind-the-scenes movement that has been growing stronger over the past 16 days, since the post office announced a budget-cutting plan to sell the building at 1140 Wall St. to the highest bidder. One by one, stunned and frustrated La Jolla entities and individuals have stepped forward to speak up for preservation of the beloved building. Breakfast meetings, têteà-têtes with Village philanthropists, and talk on the street has led to the formation of a committee, a growing “purchase” fund, and a petition (printed below) that requires your signature to keep the post office building in the hands of the community — most likely under the auspices of La Jolla Historical Society, though the next steps have yet to be determined. “First we need time to get our ducks all in a row,” said Leslie Davis, chair of the Save La Jolla Post Office Committee, who is also on the board of La Jolla Historical Society and chair of its preservation committee. “We’ve come up with a petition we hope will open doors to the post office rethinking its de-
cision and getting us some face-toface with them. The post office called its action, a ‘relocation,’ but it is in fact, a ‘closure,’ which requires further input and review, and the petition calls for this.” THE PETITION The Community of La Jolla served by the La Jolla Post Office for over 75 years hereby petition the Postal Regulatory Commission, pursuant to 39 C.F.R. § 3001.111, for review of the Jan. 10, 2012, decision by the United States Postal Service to close the historic La Jolla, California Post Office (LJPO). The petition is made on the following grounds: • The Closure Decision improperly describes the closure as a “relocation” of a customer service facility to another existing building. The Closure Decision accordingly purports to have been made under 39 C.F.R. § 241.4, a regulation concerning relocations that provides only for a review by the Vice President, Facilities of the Service. Specifically, the Closure Decision states that “This is the final decision of the Postal Service with respect to this matter, and there is no right to further administrative or judicial review of this decision.”

Let’s get the facts straight on cityhood In regard to the letter in the Jan. 26 Light, “Independent La Jolla ... hmmm,” there are inaccuracies that are easy to correct. Independent La Jolla has had the same website for several years: www.independentlajolla.org. It is hosted and maintained by a La Jolla web-hosting company. Our website is most assuredly up-to-date. It is periodically updated as information changes from the State, County or City. Therefore it is always a living document (as any website is) but never out of date. All documents supporting Incorporation are on the website, filed under the tab: “Documents Supporting Incorporation.” The fiscal analysis is indeed being updated but that process takes many months, as all aspects of life in 92037 (environmental analysis, taxation base, et al) must be updated to reflect the present day. The previous fiscal analysis data was in fact not provided to the City by Independent La Jolla. Rather it was culled, collated and presented to the City by Sacramento-based Economic & Planning Systems. At no time was ILJ involved with the data findings. The City vetted the completed data over a two-year period and concurred with the data presented in the analysis by EPS, which was that a “City of La Jolla” would be fiscally sound. The venture endures only because fiscal viability was indeed determined, with the numbers approved by the City of San Diego as accurate.
In fact, the Closure Decision would result in the elimination of a large retail post office and the establishment in its place of a much smaller retail operation. This dramatic decrease in the size of the LJPO simultaneous with its purported “relocation” means that in fact, the action is the functional equivalent of a closure – or at least a partial closure – of the LJPO. Thus, the decision should be, and is, subject to all procedures and considerations associated with a closure under 39 U.S.C. § 404(b) and 39 C.F.R. § 241.3, including an appeal to this Commission. • The Postal Service has failed to comply with 39 U.S.C. § 404(b)(2), which requires the Postal Service to consider, before closing the LJPO, numerous factors including the effect on the community, the effect on employees, and the economic savings to the Postal Service; • The Postal Service has failed to comply with 39 C.F.R. § 241.3(a) (5), which requires that an initial feasibility study be prepared before any decision to discontinue the LJPO. • The Postal Service has failed to comply with 39 C.F.R. § 241.3(c)(1) (i), which requires that the District Manager, in considering whether to recommend closure of the LJPO,
As a side note, the City of San Diego was so impressed with the accuracy of the data presented by EPS that they later hired EPS to perform City of San Diego data analysis (unrelated to La Jolla). The hiring of EPS by the City certainly is an indication of faith in the presentation of facts pertinent to the fiscal analysis. The author of the letter urges one to not financially invest in Independent La Jolla. In reality, to act in regard to a City of La Jolla all one needs to do is to vote “Yes” or “No” on a ballot referendum. No financial investment is needed for either a Yes or No vote.

Col. William Barrett will be missed I was saddened to read the obituary of William Robert “Bobby” Barrett in the Jan. 26 Light. I had the pleasure of interviewing Col. Barrett for the Bird Rock History Project in 2009. He was 88 at the time, and I assumed he would have someone bring him to my home. But he arrived under his own power wearing tennis whites, racket in hand, and apologizing for being a little sweaty. I spent a thoroughly pleasant morning with this lovely man on my patio recording stories of life in Bird Rock in the 1920s and 1930s — a

Cove stench grows worse Regarding the Light story on the stench at the Cove and some readers’ responses, I think it’s important to remember that this stench is a new development, not some minor natural annoyance that’s always been there. I grew up playing on those rocks as a kid in the 1950s and ’60s, and we never had this stench until those rocks were fenced off and the birds began their guano buildup. I worked on Prospect Street in the ’80s and I or anyone else can assure you there was no smell then. If this trend isn’t reversed, eventually the entire Village will smell like overripe guano.

I like the Congressional candidate profiles I read the articles about the Congressional candidates the Light has been running, since I will need to vote for one in June.

OPINION
www.lajollalight.com From Petition, A14 Manager to prepare a written proposal to close the LJPO, which would describe, analyze and justify in detail the proposed change and its effect on available services, the community, employees, economic savings to the Service, and other factors; and which would notify the public of where to inspect materials on which the proposal was based, and its right of appeal from any final determination; and which requires the District Manager to preserve for the record all documentation used to assess the proposed change. • The Postal Service has failed to comply with 39 C.F.R. § 241.3(d), which requires that the written proposal and a signed invitation for comments be posted prominently at the LJPO and elsewhere, that a community meeting be held on the proposal, and that a complete copy of the record be avail-
able for public inspection during normal office hours; • The Postal Service has failed to comply with 39 C.F.R. § 241.3(e), which requires consideration of all public comments and a final local recommendation by the District Manager concerning the proposal to close the LJPO; • The Postal Service has failed to comply with 39 C.F.R. § 241.3(f), which requires the preparation of a final written decision by the responsible Headquarters Vice President, including a specific notice advising the public of its right to appeal the determination to this Commission within 30 days after the posting of the determination; • The Postal Service failed to comply with 39 U.S.C. § 404(b)(3), which requires the determination to close the LJPO to include written findings with respect to the consid-

erations required to be made under with 39 U.S.C. § 404(b)(2), and by failing to make the determination and findings available to persons served by the LJPO; and • The Postal Service has failed to comply with 39 U.S.C. § 404(b)(4), which requires it to refrain from taking any action to close the LJPO until 60 days after its written determination is made. APPLICATION FOR SUSPENSION OF CLOSURE DECISION Petitioners further apply pursuant to 39 C.F.R. § 3001.114 for an order suspending the effectiveness of the Closure Decision pending the outcome of this appeal. Such application is made based upon facts that are not subject to dispute, namely, as follows: • The closure would result in an immediate and dramatic reduction in the services
now provided at the LJPO. • The Postal Service is, as a result of the Closure Decision, already preparing for sale of the historic structure that has housed the LJPO for over 75 years; and • If said structure is sold while this appeal is pending, the Postal Service would be incapable of restoring the services that are the subject of the appeal. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Petitioners request that the Commission: • Make an immediate order suspending the effectiveness of the Closure Decision until the final disposition of this appeal; • Reverse the Closure Decision and return the matter to the Postal Service for further consideration; and • Provide such other and further relief as the Commission deems just and proper. n
OBITUARIES
Joseph Francis Kennedy 1935 – 2012
Born October 6, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York, the youngest of 16 children of Katherine and Louis Kennedy, Joe knew early in life that he wanted to be a physician. After graduating cum laude from St John’s University, his ambition and keen intelligence were noted by several members of the Catholic Physician’s Guild. They encouraged him and then loaned him the amount needed to go to NY Medical College. After interning in Berkeley, CA, he took a Residency at Johns Hopkins in OB-GYN. By 1965 he entered the U. S. Navy serving two years as Chief of OB at Marine Corp Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. He returned to Hopkins for an endocrinology Fellowship in the School of Medicine as well as the School of Hygiene and Public Health in Reproductive Biology. It was during this time that his research began into the early development of oocytes. He published his first scientific paper in 1969 in the prestigious peer reviewed journal “Science”. He was an attending staff
member of Hopkins as an OB-GYN while also being on the faculty of the School of Medicine. His work was done in the same laboratory as John Edwards, PhD who developed the first in vitro fertilization methodology that led to the first test tube baby. Dr. Kennedy took great pride in paying back his loans to the doctors who first helped him in his career. He never forgot their collective generosity. Subsequently, Dr. Kennedy moved to UCSD School of Medicine and resumed his early human oocyte research with a five-year Ford Foundation grant as well as two NIH grants. In 1974 he co-founded IGO (Infertility, Gynecology, Obstetrics) with two fellow faculty members. IGO went on to establish an independent and freestanding IVF program that resulted in the first IVF pregnancy in San Diego. He was valued as a skilled surgeon with excellent clinical judgment. IGO continues today as a well-respected medical group. Joe retired in 1995 from clinical practice and joined the Medical Board of California as a district medical consultant retiring just before his death. He was known by his medicallegal colleagues as a good evaluator of complicated issues and an expert in communication. Joe found time to be active on the Boards of both the Museum of Natural History as well as the Museum of Man spending several years helping each museum grow. He was a strong supporter of the La Jolla Playhouse, The La Jolla Community Foundation, San Diego Rotary and the Hubbs Research Foundation.
Joe was an avid cyclist, a writer of poetry, a terrific dancer, and was always ready for an adventurous trip. He and his wife, Geri Ann, traveled extensively throughout their 25 years together. After he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer more than four years ago they took many ‘last trips’ to all parts of the world including Turkey, Chile, the Baltic, Southeast Asia and a two-month trip from the Seychelles, to India and the Persian Gulf. The final last trip in October was to his roots...Ireland. His sense of humor stayed intact as he struggled this last year. Always the optimist, he founded a movie/book club for his closest friends in the past year. He was known by his wide circle of friends as intelligent, sensitive, quickwitted and loyal. Decades of shared dinner parties with favorite wines from his cellar sealed deep bonds of friendship and caring. He had an extraordinary group of devoted friends. His death at home on January 24, 2012, has left behind a family and friends that loved him dearly and are grieving his loss. He is survived by his wife, Geri Ann Warnke; daughters, Jocelyn (David) Dal Ponte and Lauren (Guy) Cumberbatch; and sons, Joseph Kennedy Jr. and Scott Broadley Kennedy. He considered Douglas Broadley a son. He has five grandchildren all of whom loved to play scrabble with him; brothers, Arthur (Barbara) and Frank (Catherine), and sister, Virginia Ould, of Florida; and another sister, Margaret Schlichter, of NY. Pancreatic cancer is one of
the deadliest diseases that are seriously underfunded. At this time there is no cure and detection is difficult. In lieu of flowers, donations to aid in continuing research would be greatly appreciated to Joe’s memorial page at TGenFoundation.org or checks can be sent to TGen Foundation, One Arizona Center, 400 E. Van Buren Street, Suite 850, Phoenix, Arizona 85004. Services will be held Thursday, February 2, 2012, at 4PM at Sherwood Auditorium, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, 700 Prospect Street, La Jolla, with a reception to follow.

San Diego State drops in polls after loss The San Diego State men’s basketball team (18-3, 4-1 Mountain West) is ranked 17th in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches polls released on Monday. It marks the sixth straight week the Aztecs have appeared in the AP Top 25 and the fifth straight appearance in the coaches’ poll. San Diego State was ranked 13th by the AP and 12th by the ESPN/USA Today poll last week, but lost 77-60 to Colorado State. San Diego State is one of 19 programs in the country to have been ranked in each of the last six AP top 25 polls. That streak dates back to the final poll of last year, released on Dec. 26, 2011. Overall, the Aztecs have been ranked in 25 of the last 32 AP polls dating back to last season. The Aztecs are back in action Wednesday night against Boise State. Game time for Wednesday has been pushed back to 7:15 p.m. to accommodate CBS Sports Network coverage of the game.
UCSD keeps rolling with 20th win in a row The No. 1 UC San Diego women’s basketball team collected its 20th consecutive victory on Saturday, defeating San Francisco State, 68-55, in a defensive struggle on the SFSU campus. Emily Osga scored a game-high 18 points and Chelsea Carlisle finished with 16 to pace the Tritons, who used an outstanding defensive effort to add another win to their impressive streak. UCSD improves to 20-0 overall and 14-0 in California Collegiate Athletic Association play with the win, reaching the 20-win mark for the seventh straight season. The Tritons have now won 23 of their last 24 CCAA games dating back to the end of last season. “We were never really in sync tonight offensively, but we still found a way to get the win on the road,” head coach Charity Elliott said. “It’s always a battle on the road and San Francisco State played really hard. Our defense was the difference for us again tonight.” The Tritons will now return to La Jolla for their final four home games of the regular season Feb. 3-11. UCSD will begin the four-game home stand Friday against Cal State L.A. on Spirit Night.

Snedeker’s comeback at Torrey Pines one for ages By Phil Dailey Brandt Snedeker’s day at Torrey Pines was over. He just completed a 67 in his final round and was pleased to take home a second-place check. But then Kyle Stanley had one of the worst holes of his life, going into the water and then three-putting on the 18th green at the Farmers Insurance Open. Snedeker was just starting his media interviews after completing his final round, where he started by saying “I knew I needed to shoot something low and kind of got off to a little bit of a slow start,” Snedecker said. “But I just kind of was too far back. Kyle had too big a lead.” And that’s when it started to go south for Stanley. As Snedecker was talking about his final round, he was starting to see on the TVs in the media tent that he just might have to get back out there for a playoff. Stanley, who had a four-shot lead heading into the final hole, shot an 8 on the final hole. Snedecker was back in the tournament as the two were set to start a playoff to determine the winner. The two played the 18th hole to start the playoff where each made birdie. But on the second playoff hole — the par 3 No. 16 — Snedecker made par first, while Stanley was unable to get his 5-footer down in regulation. “I’m kind of in shock right now,” said the 23-year-old Stanley after blowing his big lead and then losing in a playoff.
Brandt Snedecker holds the winner’s trophy after beating Kyle Stanley in a playoff Sunday. PGA Tour At the start of play Sunday, Snedecker was seven shots back of the lead. It marked the biggest comeback on the PGA Tour since Stuart Appleby came from seven down at the Greenbrier Classic in 2010. “I went through a whole range of emotions over the last two days let alone in the last hour and half,” the 31-year-old Snedecker said. The win for Snedecker was his fifth on the PGA Tour. He has now finished in the top 10 at the Torrey Pines event the past three years. “I’m just floored right now,” Snedecker said after winning.” I had no idea I was going to be in the room right now for a second time. I am so excited.”

La Jollan seeks second win for Super Bowl commercial By Phil Dailey Do you remember the commercial where the two co-workers are eating a bag of Doritos and then one (who apparently can’t get enough of the taste) licks the other’s finger to secure the remnants of Dorito dust? You should, since it aired last year during the Super Bowl and many times since. The creator of that is Tyler Dixon and he just might make it back on TV this Sunday with another Doritos commercial. This time the theme is centered around dog owners. Dixon, who is a La Jolla High graduate, has seen some results from his winning commercial last season, but not enough to make it on his own as a director of commercials in Hollywood. He hopes with a second-straight win — which is up to online voters — he can nudge his way further into that fraternity. “It’s been difficult,” Dixon said. “I think the economy has affected it a lot and it’s just hard to break into. “I thought I might as well just try and get back in the Super Bowl. If I can get two in a row of my self-made ads, then somebody is going to want to give me a job.” Dixon has also won a commercial competition for Quiznos and Sports Authority. This year, just like last year, Dixon’s commercial for Doritos was picked out of thou-

The top two winners get their commercial aired during the Super Bowl. “I definitely want to air and it would be nice to win some money this time. We aired last year but we did not win the $1 million.” In order to win the grand prize of $1million, the winning commercial has to be the No. 1 rated Super Bowl commercial, which gets ranked by USA Today and Facebook. Up next for Dixon are a few short films and hopefully get a short comedy in the Sundance Film Festival next year. “That’s the only thing I am good at,” Dixon said of writing comedy.

Living in La Jolla is dream come true for attorney Robert Tyson Bob Tyson is a trial lawyer with the Bird Rock law firm Tyson & Mendes. The firm has 17 attorneys, with offices in Los Angeles and Riverside. Tyson recently won a landmark case before the California Supreme Court in Howell v. Hamilton Meats. He founded Lawyers for Tots and is active in The Century Club of San Diego, San Diego County Bar Association, San Diego Barristers Club, the Villanova Robert Tyson University Alumni Association, The Risk Management Society (RIMS), and the San Diego Defense Lawyers. Tyson is a former member of the parish council and finance council of All Hallows Catholic Church, and has served on several committees at La Jolla Country Club.
What brought you to La Jolla? The TV show, “L.A. Law.” I visited Los Angeles while in law school at Villanova in the late 1980s. During this trip, I also drove down to San Diego. When I arrived in La Jolla and the weather was 70º in January, I knew I wanted this to be my home and I was never going back to New York City. What makes this area special to you? La Jolla is an oasis in the eighth largest city in America. Running a small business and owning our building in Bird Rock, combined with living in the same community where I work, is truly a blessing. It is great to live in a place where most people have chosen to live and have worked very hard to afford to live here, as opposed to a place you “have to live.” There is no better place to live in America.

10 days of movies at Jewish Film Festival By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt For 22 years, San Diego’s Jewish Film Festival has been presenting movies from all over the world about different facets of the Jewish experience. And now, even more than ever, you don’t have to be Jewish to find a movie to love. This year’s selection includes films from 15 different countries, including heartwarming dramas, romantic comedies, incisive documentaries, and a special free program of short films from
emerging directors. There are films that deal with the coming together of opposites: young and old, straight and gay, deaf and hearing, left-wing and right-wing, Jews and Muslims. There are films about historical events, not only the Holocaust, but also the Soviet purges of the 1930s and the virtually unknown long march from Ethiopia to the Sudanase border in the 1980s by thousands of Ethiopian Jews

There are bio-pics about Gustav Mahler and Jascha Heifetz, each so full of music it’s like going to a concert, and the not-so-musical lives of Henry Kissinger, Tony Curtis, and Otto Frank (Anne’s father), as well as the lower-profile Polish Catholic priest who discovered and set out to reclaim his Jewish roots. There’s a Teen Day, featuring “Kaddish for a Friend,” a film chosen by the festival’s teen-age focus group, and there’s a Family Day for preschoolers, featuring “Shalom Sesame Street.” Want a few laughs? See “Jews in ‘Toons,” with a special appearance by Mike Reiss, writer/producer for “The Simpsons.” Or “Jewish Food For Thought,” a series of animated pieces about life with his physicist father by Hanan Harchol. “Our theme this year is The Power of Hope,” said Sandra Kraus, who has been the festival’s producer for the past five years.

‘Miss Representation’ Documentary, discussion expected to draw moms and daughters
La Jolla Cultural Partners
From local reports The Girl Scouts, Outside the Lens, and the Junior League of San Diego have joined forces to present a screening of the documentary, “Miss Representation,” 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, at Sherwood Auditorium in the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, 700 Prospect St. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. It challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. “Miss Representation” includes stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, activists, entertainers, and academics like Condoleezza Rice, Lisa Ling, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Rosario Dawson, Jackson Katz, Jean Kilbourne, and Gloria Steinem. “The film offers startling facts

David Levy and Barry Robbins are coowners of Milton’s Restaurant-Delicatessan in Del Mar.
Scenes from 1940s San Diego and ‘old-school’ advertisements can be seen on the dining-room walls.
Make it Milton’s when you’re in the mood for deli-delicious By Kelley Carlson ilton’s RestaurantDelicatessen offers the nostalgia of 1940s San Diego, with a fresh food selection of classic cuisine. Owned by David Levy and Barry Robbins, Milton’s features more than 200 items on the menu alone, appealing to everyone from ages 3 to 93. And that doesn’t even include all the deli selections. “We bake our own breads and pastries on the premises, and we import our meats (from Chicago) and fish (from New York),” Robbins said. “The portions are very generous.” When entering the establishment, customers have a chance to feast their eyes on the deli’s offerings and the green-neon Milton’s sign. Meats hang over display cases filled with additional cold cuts and seafood; corners are filled with baked goods, while colorful pastries abound. There’s an array of beverages, from specialty coffees to Dr. Brown’s sodas. And naturally, Milton’s-brand items are available for purchase, including multi-grain crackers, bread and preserves. Turn right and enter the restaurant for a step back in time. Black-and-white pictures of cars, people and businesses from the 1940s decorate the walls. There also are “old-school” advertisements for companies such as Kellogg’s, and large photos depicting Milton’s fare to entice the customer.
M
Milton’s offers a variety of desserts and baked goods.
Our Famous Mish-Mosh Soup features chicken, noodles, carrots, matzo ball and kreplach in a chicken broth.

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Milton’s Potato Pancakes Meanwhile, a gigantic clock with Roman numerals tracks the hour in the center of the dining room, keeping patrons in the present. Large, arched windows provide a glimpse of palm trees swaying in the Southern California breeze. Seemingly every breakfast dish imaginable is served throughout the day — from Milton’s Yogurt Parfait with house-made granola and fruit, to Lox Benedict and Cheese Blintzes. For later meals, entrees cover the spectrum, from vegetarian to comfort foods. On the “light” end, try Milton’s Stuffed Tomato or Avocado, filled with your choice of tuna, chicken or egg salad; or the Chinese Chicken Salad. For richer options, consider the Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie, Signature Meat Loaf, Pot Roast served on a bed of rice, or Baby-Back Ribs. And in between extremes are hamburgers with a variety of toppings, hot dogs and bratwurst, and “overstuffed” sandwiches.
Patrons in a hurry during midday can opt for a Brown Bagger Lunch Special with a build-your-own sandwich, pickle, coleslaw and a cookie. From 4 to 8 p.m. Friday to Sunday, Milton’s serves deep-dish, Chicagostyle pizza — a carryover from Levy’s and Robbins’ days as owners of Chicago Brothers restaurant. Still can’t decide what to order? Levy and General Manager Maria Colyer suggest a cup of the freshly made Our Famous Mish-Mosh Soup (chicken, noodles, carrots, matzo ball and kreplach in a chicken broth) and a sandwich with such meats as corned beef and pastrami. Make sure to include a side of homemade onion rings, fries or potato salad. Keep in mind that a complimentary, mini-cinnamon-raisin loaf is served warm on the table every evening and weekend mornings. Children can amuse themselves by playing games and drawing the server on their special menu, which includes kid-friendly meals like grilled cheese and a turkey dinner.

FROM ART, B1 country, is the largest offering of Baldessari’s graphic work ever assembled. It is part of the massive holdings of Jordan Schnitzer, an Oregon businessman/philanthropist whose collections comprise more than 5,000 prints by Baldessari, Frank Stella, Jim Dine, James Rosenquist and other major contemporary artists. His donations to the University of Oregon’s Art Museum have been so significant that the museum was renamed for him in 2005. Baldessari is no stranger to MCASD. In fact, his first exhibition, in 1960, was at the “Art Center in La Jolla,” now known as MCASD-LJ. His last solo show there was in 1997, but a number of his works remain in the museum’s permanent collection. Though he started out as a painter, best known for his provocative “word pieces,” he burned all his paintings in 1970. As part of his “Cremation Project,” the ashes were placed in an urn, with each painting’s birth and death date listed on a commemorative plaque. Since then, his projects
If you go ■ What: A Print Retrospective from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation ■ When: Feb. 5-May 13 ■ Members’ Opening: 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4 ■ Where: Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla, 700 Prospect St. ■H ours: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday-Tuesday; to 7 p.m. third Thursdays; closed Wednesdays ■ Admission: $5-$10, free 5-7 p.m. third Thursdays, and to members ■ Contact: (858) 454-3541 ■ Web: mcasd.org have included artist’s books, videos, films, billboards, public works, and of course, prints, often embellished with colorful cutouts and altered photographs. His signature style in all media is witty and experimental, and he continues to expand the
field of printmaking in his own unique ways. “Though John is primarily identified as a conceptual artist, he was one of the first to take photography as a serious medium in the 1970s, and his use of photography and text combine naturally in printmaking,” said MCASD Director Hugh Davies. “And printmaking, like photography, is a very democratic medium, which he likes, because he can make multiple examples, so more than one person can own a piece.” Also on display will be a sampling of Baldessari’s works from the museum’s collection, including two of his early word paintings. But the main attraction is the Print Retrospective, which Davies called one of the most exciting traveling shows around today. “Jordan Schnitzer is a very passionate and generous collector who focuses on prints and really cares about the artists and cherishes their work,” he said. “Aside from, possibly, John himself, he’s THE collector of Baldessari prints, so we’re very proud to have the exhibit here.”

Magical Mystery Tour
Quilted homage to The Beatles opens at Visions Museum By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Over the years, The Beatles have been honored by film, stage, and musical tributes, but probably never before in the medium of quilts. On Feb. 3, the small but mighty Visions Art Museum will present 43 pieces in homage to the Fab Four at an artists’ reception, part of the monthly First Friday event at Liberty Station. “Magical Mystery Tour” is the theme of this year’s “challenge competition” from Canyon Quilters, a University City group that includes many of Visions’ members. The challenge: To come up with a 14-inchsquare quilt inspired by The Beatles. Judy Warren-Tippets, a La Jolla resident who is also a Visions board member, was pleased to have her “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” chosen for the show. “At first, I couldn’t come up with any ideas,” she confessed. “But when I went online and found a list of their song titles — they wrote about 200 songs! — my memories of the tunes came flooding back. And ‘Lucy’ sounded like so much fun for an art quilt.”
If you go ■ What: Magical Mystery Tour: en hommage to The Beatles & more ■ When: Feb.3-April 22 ■ Artists’ Reception: 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3 ■ Where: Visions Art Museum at Liberty Station, 2825 Dewey Road, Suite 100, San Diego ■ Contact: (619) 546-4872 ■ Website: visionsartmuseum.org Fun is definitely the key word for this exhibit, which promises to be a real crowdpleaser. “The quilts are whimsical, the artists are local ... What’s not to like?” said Visions Executive Director, Beth Smith. But wait ... there’s more. There will actually be three shows and a total of 118 quilts on display at Visions. “Art Meets Science” is a traveling exhibit of 35 quilts

plating scientific issues in a whole new way. Last but not least is a display of 40, 12-inch-square quilts from the Del Thomas Collection. D el Thomas, who has lived in Southern California since the 1950s, started making quilts as a child in Oregon. Her work has appeared in magazines and various exhibits, and she has collected some 180 contemporary
quilts of all sizes from all over the world, which she frequently lends to museums and galleries, to promote the art quilts she loves so well. A strong and continuing supporter of Visions, she will be honored by the museum at the exhibit’s opening by having the main gallery renamed for her. Warren-Tippets said she’s looking forward to seeing all
the quilts on display. “It’s interesting that we’re doing The Beatles show, because art quilting hadn’t yet developed when they were performing,” she said. “It really started to emerge in the 1980s, but now it’s a huge category, and it’s thrilling that we in San Diego have a world-class art quilt venue and that Visions is on the map in the international art world.”

Groundhog, woodchuck — What’s the difference? Woodchuck and groundhog are common terms for the same animal, the rodent with the scientific name of marmota monax. Most closely related to squirrels, woodchucks actually can climb trees and also swim. Celestially speaking, Groundhog Day on Feb. 2 is a “crossquarter” day, about halfway between the winter solstice in December and the vernal equinox in March, and is celebrated in some cultures as the midpoint of winter. It’s not far from the time many groundhogs end their hibernation anyway, around the second week of February. What goes on in that burrow? In the winter, not much. Groundhogs go into profound hibernation, greatly reducing their metabolic rate, and their body temperature drops to just a few degrees above ambient temperature. Because their hibernaculum, the deepest portion of the burrow where they hibernate, is below frost line, that produces a body temperature as low as 39º to 40º F. — College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University

High energy and high anxiety steer ‘The Recommendation’ If you go What: “The Recommendation” Where: The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park When: Matinees, evenings through Feb. 26 Tickets: start at $29, (619) 23-GLOBE or www.TheOldGlobe.org
Let’s Review By Diana Saenger
H
ow many times have we said something to a friend that would come back to bite us? That’s what happens to three young men in Jonathan Caren’s “The Recommendation,” which is premiering at The Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre through Feb. 26. “The Recommendation,” contains a brief fight scene and lots of profanity. However, Caren’s imaginative plot and astute dialogue create funny, tense, conventional and yet unexpected moments that travel a winding road and remind the men of a father’s quote, delivered as he patted his heart, “Everything you need (in life) is right here.” The curtain rises on bright, charismatic and quick-on-his-toes Aaron Feldman (Evan Todd) who has, not only attending Harvard to his credit, but also the Ivy League Brown
University. He’s anxious to make his mark as a filmmaker, and somehow after all the schooling isn’t quite sure how to go about that. He befriends Iskinder Iudoku (Brandon Gill), the son of an Ethiopian, who warns him when setting off for his career, “be wary of a man who offers you the world.” Aaron and Iskinder become roommates in college, but while Iskinder wants to buckle down and study hard to become an attorney, Aaron sets his sights on planning lots of parties. One night, as Aaron is making a store run, he gets pulled over for a traffic infraction and thrown in jail where he meets Dwight Barnes (Jimonn Cole). Dwight is a chameleon; one minute playing nice to Aaron as he sizes him up and learns more about him, the next minute switching personalities to scare Aaron to tears with fear of what could happen to him if he gets moved into county prison. Transition to a few years later after Iskinder has a successful law career and even ends up defending felon Dwight in an effort to lessen his jail time.
Iskinder (Brandon Gill) finds himself involved in a difficult situation between his acquaintances (Todd and Cole). The drama is having its world premiere in San Diego.
Dwight (Jimonn Cole) and Aaron (Evan Todd) have a tense moment in ‘The Recommendation,’ directed by Jonathan Munby at The Old Globe. Henry DiRocco photos
All three actors do a wonderful job in cementing their characters, difficult with a simple set design by Alexander Dodge of just a square box stage and two benches that easily “transform” through several different scenarios.
Aaron finds his golden sunset in Hollywood. All three lives are turned upside down when Iskinder and Aaron visit a gym and discover Dwight is a janitor there. Old wounds flare as accusations reach a fever pitch.

Romantic concert storm brewing with Brahms, Verdi, Adams, and a premiere The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus will present its third concert of the 57th season with music director Steven Schick leading the orchestra and guest soloists in a program of stark and beautiful drama titled, “The Populist.” On the playlist are Giuseppe Verdi’s overture to “La Forza del Destino”; Nicholas Deyoe’s “Still getting rid of” (2011-12 Thomas Nee Commission); John Adams’ “The Wound Dresser”; and
Brahm’s “Symphony No. 1 in C minor.” n Verdi’s opera “The Force of Destiny,” was based on a Spanish drama “Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino” (1835), by Ángel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas. The story is one of love and bloody revenge featuring a young nobleman who has fallen in love with a woman whose father prohibits her from marrying him. The opera was first performed in St.
Petersburg in 1862. The overture is a favored concert opener. n Deyoe is a composer, conductor, and guitarist born in Colorado. He is a Ph.D. candidate in music composition at UCSD, studying with Roger Reynolds, and serves as assistant conductor of the La Jolla Symphony. Deyoe has said he strives to bring together noise, delicacy, drama, fantasy, brutality, and flexibility of intona-

when the composer was 43. He was only too aware of the example of Beethoven’s nine symphonies and of the responsibility of any subsequent symphonist to be worthy of that example. Brahms may have been uncertain about his symphony, but audiences were not, and the new work was soon praised in terms that must have seemed heretical to its composer. Some began to speak of “the three B’s,” and the conductor Hans von Bülow referred to the work as “the Tenth Symphony,” suggesting it was a worthy successor to Beethoven’s nine.

arol Shear, a third-grade teacher at Bird Rock Elementary School, led her class in a parade around the campus last week to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Students created vibrant-colored masks and painted red banners with Chinese lettering, then some helped carry the dragon while others played music. It was quite a spectacular sight to see as the dragon moved along for all to enjoy. In Eastern philosophy, the Dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune and a master of authority. Therefore, those people born in Dragon years are to be honored and respected.

staying young at heart Want to prolong independence and delay biological aging by up to 12 years? A 2008 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine indicates that maintaining aerobic fitness can help you do both. Aerobic capacity generally begins to fall steadily at middle age.According to Science Magazine, the aerobic capacity of a sedentary person at age 60 will typically be about half of what it was at age 20.When aerobic capacity falls too low it becomes difficult to do anything without fatigue. However, regular cardio workouts can slow or reverse this decline, even in later life. The research shows that doing relatively high intensity aerobic activity consistently over time boosted aerobic capacity by up to 25% equivalent to a reversal of 10-12 biological years. Boosting aerobic capacity can help elderly people stay healthy and increase their independence. If you are looking to improve your aerobic fitness, Ability Rehab can help you do it safely. Our professional therapists will customtailor a program to maximize your health and wellbeing. We provide a thorough evaluation and treatment of your gait, joint mobility, muscle strength, flexibility, balance and much more. P.s. February is Heart Health Month – it’s a great time to get fit!

Time to quarterback a winning Super Bowl soiree
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
T
ailgate parties will be heating up from Boonville to Gary, making a pit stop at 500 South Capitol Ave., Indianapolis this Sunday, 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Roughly 70,000 stalwart Super Bowl attendees will be cozying up under the retractable dome of the $720-million Lucas Oil Stadium. Frigid temperatures outside, the field turf will soon sizzle as hot and hunky quarterback stars — New England’s Tom Brady and New York’s Eli Manning — bandy their football prowess with halftime punctuated by an iconic tight end — Madonna.
For the remaining 151.6 million fans, it’s high-definition homebound when friends coast-to-coast share in the Big Game comradery and gustatory orgy. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest grilling day of the winter season, along with the second largest food consumption day of the year, losing out to Thanksgiving. With just days to go ’til the XLVI extravaganza, it’s time to strategize a creative and healthful game plan if you’re hosting a shindig. Organize a regional potluck incorporating the cuisines of New England, New York and Indiana. For a New York state of mind, culinary cultures merge into a melting pot of American, Latin, Italian, Greek, Cuban and Jewish deli. Try black bean chili with plantain chips and mango salsa; lighter, leaner, turkey, chicken or lamburgers; do a football field pizza — fill a rectangular cookie sheet with pre-made pizza dough, marinara sauce and
Patriotic Red, White and Blue Bean Chili This all-American dish is sure to score at any event.
■ Ingredients 1/2 can red kidney beans 1/2 can white navy beans 1/2 can black beans 1 pound lean ground turkey 1 red pepper, diced 1/2 medium red onion, diced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, diced 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon oregano 1 bottle amber lager beer 1 can or jar (28-ounce) pureed tomatoes 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate Sea salt, cracked pepper, Tabasco
■ Method: In a large skillet, heat half the oil on medium and add the turkey. Cook thoroughly, about 10 minutes, strain with a slotted spoon, transferring to a bowl. Heat the remaining oil and sauté the onion, pepper and garlic until tender. Add cumin, chili and oregano, chocolate and beer, stirring until the liquid thickens. Add turkey and tomatoes, and cook on low, partially covering until the chili thickens, about 45 minutes, adding beans the last 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Tabasco, and garnish with red, white and blue toppings–roasted red peppers, white onions, Greek-style yoghurt, blue cheese. Serve with tortillas. shredded mozzarella, replicating the field of play with chopped broccoli and

green peppers, the end zones with black olives and crumbled Italian chicken sausage, pepper strips for goal lines, onion rings for yard markers, and mozzarella sticks for goal posts. Serve turkey pastrami sliders topped with pickle chips, and shake up New York-inspired libations like a Long Island Iced Tea or a classic Manhattan. Some light and lively New England eats might include a seafood or corn chowder
or chili, lobster rolls with New England–style hot dog buns, turkey or roast chicken subs or grinders, Boston baked beans, and for your just desserts New England apple, rhubarb or blueberry popovers. Quench that Big Game thirst with crisp apple cider or cranberry cocktail, local New England lagers and ales like Samuel Adams or geographic-appropriate libations as the Cape Codder. For Hoosier cuisine, die-
hard carnivores should at least choose organic pork tenderloin and grass-fed ribeye steak for the sandwiches, Stromboli with goat cheese, corn on the cob and airpopped popcorn along with persimmons pies, blending northern and southern Indiana faves. — Contact Catharine Kaufmann by e-mail at kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.

PET CONNECTION While she enjoys spending quality time with her people friends, HORTENCE is also content to spend time on her own. She has an independent spirit.

She likes to take her time approaching new situations. She’s a bit shy with new faces and places, but warms up as she becomes more familiar with her environment. Hortence is a mellow and easy-going companion, content just to feel loved. Hortence would prefer a home with older children.

Safari Park half-marathon set OPEN HOMES THIS WEEKEND to raise cash for tiger habitat A spring Safari Park Half Marathon will offer runners the chance to race through the scenic San Pasqual Valley, past vineyards, golf courses and orange groves, and ending in the heart of the Safari Park surrounded by giraffes, cheetahs, rhinos and flamingos. The second annual competitive half marathon starts at 6:30 a.m. on May 6 in the parking lot of the Westfield North County Mall, off of the I-15. Awards will be given to the top three overall half-marathon finishers and the top three finishers in each division. The 13.1-mile course is limited to 3,500 runners and has a time limit of three hours. Runners can get a refund on their registration by raising $300 in pledges for the tiger habitat. All funds raised from the race will go
toward building a new tiger habitat at the Safari Park. Last year’s race raised $150,000 for the exhibit and this year the Park has set a goal to raise $200,000 for tigers. On race day, shuttles will transport spectators to the Safari Park between 6 and 6:20 a.m. for special activities while they wait for friends and family running the race to enter Park grounds. All roads to the Safari Park will be closed to traffic starting at 6 a.m. to reopen at 8:30 a.m. Shuttles that will return runners and spectators from the Safari Park to Westfield mall will run throughout the day until 6 p.m. Each registration includes admission to the Park on the day of the race, T-shirt, and a virtual goodie bag. Spectators can enter the Safari Park on race day for $20 (valid on race day only).
