BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Life may be a little tenser now for the owner of “Rancho Relaxo.” Last week neighbors won a sizable legal judgment against the Bird Rock “nuisance” residence. On top of that, the county will put the house up for public auction in March if the owner does not pay up on an overdue property tax bill. “The total judgment was $136,000, the largest Safe Streets judgment since 1995 when the program began in the city of San Diego,” said Leo Wilson, director of Safe Streets Now: San Diego, a county-sponsored program

FROM RANCHO, A1 helping residents clean up their neighborhoods by allowing them to file joint petitions seeking legal relief against nuisance properties in smallclaims actions. The maximum reward per individual in a small-claims action is $7,500. The Bird Rock community —18 plaintiffs in all— worked with Wilson, First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and a host of other government agencies to build a case against the “nuisance” residence at 5460 La Jolla Hermosa. Neighbors amassed a laundry list of complaints against a revolving door of tenants on the 900-square-foot, single-family
residence, whose landlord, they claim, has been operating for years as a lodging/rooming house in likely violation of the San Diego Municipal Code. Their nuisance lawsuit was heard in Small Claims Court Jan. 31. John Weil, chief of staff for Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, said the homeowner, Blakely Nan M. Trust, has until March 18, the day of the public auction sale, to come up with back taxes owed or lose the property. “The amount of back taxes to redeem is $5,997.14, which includes defaulted taxes, penalties and cost of sale,” said Weil, who added the property’s first installment of $889.74 on this year’s tax bill is also delin-
quent and will need to be paid. “They have until the day of the auction to present the check; otherwise the property will be sold for tax proceeds and the winning bidder owns the property,” added Weil. Weil noted the starting bid for the house and lot, located in a prime La Jolla neighborhood, will be $37,000. “Typically, the price of such homes escalates dramatically and should go up very quickly,” he said. In testimony presented in court, police noted the property is a commune-style environment and that police raids revealed a total of 11 people had been living on the premises at one time. There is a history of
neighborhood complaints on the property going back more than a decade. A San Diego Police Department raid there on Jan. 14, 2011, resulted in three arrests. One individual was charged with felony possession for sale of several narcotic substances including methamphetamine.Two other individuals were arrested for parole violations. A letter from City Attorney Jan Goldsmith to the court noted the presence of “known convicts and drug users” loitering and staying overnight on the subject property. The March 18 public auction when the property will be offered for sale starts at 9 a.m. at San Diego Convention Center, Ballroom 6A.

Gillispie third graders gather Pennies for Peace
Members of La Jolla High School’s National Ocean Sciences Bowl team meet up at a regional competition. COURTESY OF LA JOLLA HIGH NOSB
La Jolla High team to compete in Ocean Sciences Bowl qualifer BY ROGER LI Contributor La Jolla High School’s best and brightest will compete Feb. 26 at the Grunion Bowl, the regional competition that will determine which Southern Californian team will advance to the Annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB). NOSB is a competition sponsored by the Consortium of Ocean Leadership to foster ocean awareness among high school students. Teams, who have been preparing for months, face off in buzzer races to test their knowledge with multiple-choice marine science questions. According to Varsity Team Captain Ian Fong, a senior at La Jolla High, the Grunion Bowl is gearing up to be one of La Jolla’s toughest challenges yet. “From what I have seen so far, there are at least two other teams who are well-
prepared for the regional competition that we have to watch out for,” said Fong. “I believe we have a strong team this year, but it doesn’t mean we are going to cease studying or practicing. When we come together, we cover each other’s weaknesses with our strengths.” La Jolla High has traditionally been the team to beat at the regional competition. With weekly before-school practices, La Jolla High has consistently come in first for the last several years, beating out rival Dana Hills High. At last year’s National Ocean Science Bowl, it placed fourth in the nation, the best La Jolla High has ever done. Along with their plush ocean sunfish mascot, this year the team hopes to match their already impressive accomplishments. Fong also spoke of how participating in NOSB shaped his high school career. “It has helped me devel-
op better interpersonal skills through collaborating with teammates and persuading potential recruits,” said Fong. “Through NOSB, I’ve learned about how much society and the ocean interrelate and affect one another.” Beyond NOSB, Fong said he hopes to pursue science in college, but he says he will miss the community that NOSB has given him. “I love learning about the world — how it operates, why certain things are so, and what exists in it — and scienceis a great outlet for me to satisfy my curiosity,” said Fong. “I have made many friends and have many wonderful stories from my experiences in NOSB. I will definitely miss it.” Visitors who want to cheer on the Vikings are welcome to stop by 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Feb. 26 at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, 8602 La Jolla Shores Drive in La Jolla.
Gillispie third grade students and teachers Erica Hurley and Linda Davis show off the poster and collection jars used in the Pennies for Peace campaign. COURTESY
G
rade Three students from The Gillispie School, along with their teachers Linda Davis and Erica Hurley, raised $459.23 in support of the Central Asia Institute Pennies for Peace program. As the students studied the continent of Asia during social studies, they brought in their own pennies — 45,923 of them — and educated their fellow elementary school students about the value of even
modest donations for schools and social services in developing countries. The program is designed to help students broaden their cultural horizons and learn about their capacities as philanthropists. It educates students about the world beyond their experience and shows them that they can make a positive impact on a global scale. For example, one penny buys a pencil and opens the door to literacy.

My interest in running for trustee is to constructively contribute to the continuing preservation and evolution of La Jolla. I live here but work outside La Jolla. I would put at the top of my priorities working toward presentation of a united La Jolla advocacy to the city, county and metropolitan government entities, where various community groups have separately argued in decision-making forums. I am expecting a lesser commitment in my job and more time to be involved in community affairs in the coming year. Twice I have served on the Town Council, and I alternately chaired the Traffic and Transportation and Parks and Beaches committees. I was a board member of La Jolla Youth for 10 years. I was a San Diego Park and Recreation Board member. I have
been on the board of Citizens Coordinate for Century 3, and I am a board member of the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon Foundation. ■ CYNTHIA A. BOND Director of investor relations, Overland Storage.

Researchers find surprising view of brain formation As the human brain develops, newly formed nerve cells travel from their place of origin to different brain regions where they connect to one another to form the intricate circuits and networks responsible Lynne for various brain functions. Anything Friedmann that disrupts the course of this nerve cell migration results in an improperly formed brain often with devastating consequences. Researchers had long known that newly formed nerve cells crawl along a particular type of cell in the brain, called a glial cell, which acts as a cellular guide for the nerve cells. Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute report on a study focused on a protein called “reelin.” They found reelin to be a key player in the migration of new nerve cells to the neocortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher-order functions, such as language and movement. Unexpectedly, researchers also found that reelin affects this migration process independent of glial cells. The findings have implications for understanding a host of diseases, including some forms of mental retardation, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism.
Research Report
The study appears in the journal Neuron.News release at http://bit.ly/gpynm9.
■ Finding key to nicotine addiction Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have identified a pathway in the brain that regulates an individual’s vulnerability to the addictive properties of nicotine. Nicotine is the major addictive component of tobacco smoke, and nicotine acts in the brain by stimulating proteins called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). These nAChRs are made up of different types of subunits. One of these subunits (_5 subunit) was the focus of the TSRI study that examined that receptor’s response to nicotine in the brain. The scientists found that animal models with a genetic
mutation inhibiting _5 consumed far more nicotine than normal. This effect could be reversed by boosting the subunit’s expression. Thus, the findings suggest a new target for anti-smoking therapies. The findings appear in the journal Nature. News release at http://bit.ly/gDg0yK.
■ Breast cancer metastasis culprit identified When doctors discover high concentrations of regulatory T cells in the tumors of breast cancer patients, the prognosis is often grim — though why exactly has long been unclear. Research at the UCSD School of Medicine suggests these regulatory T cells — whose job is to help mediate the body’s immune response — produce a protein (known as RANKL) that

What Happened in the LJ Real Estate Market in 2010? It is always interesting to compare one year to the past year in real estate activity. It is impossible to predict the future, but with the help of title companies, multiple listing data and the county r ecorder, we can see what happened in 2010 compared to 2009. In 2009 the median single family home v alue seemed to fall around $1,460,000 and in 2010 that same v alue was $1,390,000. At the height of the market in 2005, that value hovered around $1,750,000. There is good news in all of these statistics though, for in 1996 the median single family home value in La Jolla was $460,000. Which just goes to prove that real estate although not a liquid inv estment, is a good long term inv estment. In 2010, 607 properties sold in La Jolla versus 616 for 2009. This is only a 1% downward change so most hope this sho ws the market is stabilizing.

FROM CORRIDOR, A1 At that point, residents and others asked questions of the presenters but suggestions weren’t taken into consideration. At Thursday’s meeting, set to wrap up around 7:30 p.m., the public will be able to ask additional questions of city staff and provide their input on project priorities and objectives. The traffic board will consider all ideas and will hold an additional meeting if necessary to give everyone a chance to be heard, Chairman Todd Lesser has said. The Torrey Pines Corridor Project, which has been several years in the planning stage, proposes traffic calming, slope stabilization, pedestrian and bicycle safety and landscaping improvements to the heavily traveled stretch of Torrey Pines Road between La Jolla Shores Drive and Prospect Place. In 2010, a $500,000 federal stimulus grant to fund the design phase of the corridor project was secured. For information on the Torrey Pines Corridor Project visit the website www.sandiego.gov/engineeringcip/projectsprograms/torrey pines.shtml
Political message at LJHS causes stir BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer La Jolla High has its own free-speech movement going —at least in the eyes of some students. It all started on Feb. 15 when concrete “senior” benches routinely painted by students conveying support for school “spirit” carried a sterner, more political message: support of freedom for Iran. The messages, painted by members of the school’s Persian Club, were promptly painted over when school administrators deemed them as inappropriate in an unapproved location. Then, two days later students Wilson Mokiao and Yumehiko Hoshijima painted a slightly different message on the benches: “Freedom for Iran and LJHS.” Those too were whited-out. And then someone painted “USA,” which Principal Dana Shelburne said he also had painted over in the name of fairness. Mokiao and Hoshijima, in a press release they put out last week in which they were joined by other students, stated “The senior benches at La Jolla High School have always been an important message board for student life. … However, in a troubling turn of events, the administration at La Jolla High School has recently taken to moderating the bench’s messages. … “California Education Code 48907 stipulates that California students may express themselves freely at school unless speech is ‘obscene, libelous, or slanderous,’ ” the release continued. “We believe — although we do not have legal expertise — that the La Jolla High School administration’s actions are highly questionable given the protections guaranteed to students under state law.”
Benches painted by La Jolla High students were whited out by the administration. Shelburne said the situation is not about free speech, but that it stems more from a misunderstanding blown out of proportion rather than any real disagreement over students’ rights. Shelburne said the purpose of senior benches is being misconstrued. “Those benches are to carry positive, school-related messages — birthdays, athletic events, dances, the sad occasion when we lose a student — pertaining to campus,” he said. “If it’s negative: We paint it out. If it doesn’t pertain to school functions: We paint it out.” Shelburne said there is an appropriate, designated spot elsewhere on campus for noncampus-related student self-expression. “We have a bulletin board in the center of campus identified to be used if you want to make a poster or post anything,” he said. “The rules of posting are very liberal. If you want to say “Free Iran, down with the dictator” — we’ve got a spot for it.”
COURTESY
On Friday, he said, a student did just that, posting “Free Iran,” although it was done on the back of an ASB announcement. A notice was sent to all students reminding them about the policy. He said that if inappropriate signs continue to appear on the benches, disciplinary action will be taken. Mokiao and Hoshijima’s release raised other isssues: “A political bulletin board is by no means equal to the senior benches as an alternative medium of expression.No public announcement by the school or its administration as to the limitations of the benches or the bulletin boards was made prior to the incidents.” By Feb. 17, a Facebook page “LJHS Freedom of Speech” carried photos of the benches and a message saying, “The administration at LJHS has violated the students’ freedom of speech. The message ‘Freedom For Iran’ is a call for awareness, ‘Freedom For LJHS’ is a demand for our rights.”

Solar-powered trash compactors Biochemist to take reins at TSRI coming to La Jolla’s Kellogg Park BY GREG ALDER Contributor In March, the north end of Kellogg Park will have nine solar-powered trash compactors installed as part of a six-month pilot program overseen by the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation. Chelsea Klaseus, an environmental specialist with the Environmental Services Department, said at the recent La Jolla Shores Association meeting that the “Big Belly” trash cans compact the trash four times. They also have secure doors that keep litter in but vagrants and animals out, which will decrease the amount of trash strewn across the park by seagulls. With less time being spent emptying cans and cleaning up trash, maintenance workers will have more time to spend on other maintenance issues. There is already one outside the Post Office on Wall Street in the Village, paid for by La Jolla Businesss Improvement District Funds. In other action, the Shores group heard:
A Big Belly, solar-powered trash compactor like this one will be installed at Kellogg Park. DAVE SCHWAB ■ That SIO’s proposed Marine Ecosystem Sensing, Observation and Modeling (MESOM) building project was rejected by the Coastal Commission because of its effect on coastal visibility on La Jolla Shores Drive. But Milt Phegley, UCSD’s campus community planner, informed the Shores’ meeting that a modified plan would be brought to the Coastal Commission in April.
No adjustments to the height of the MESOM building that will affect visibility have been made, but trees in other areas along La Jolla Shores Drive will be removed in order to improve coastal views there. The trees will be replaced, said Phegley, most likely with Torrey pines, in other parts of the campus where ocean views are not an issue. In addition, the new proposal includes construction of public ocean viewpoints on the SIO campus, as well as future height limits on development. ■ Cindy Greatrex, president of Independent La Jolla, the group which wants La Jolla to separate from the city of San Diego, announced that LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) has approved its mapping of the desired independent city limits. This is an important step forward, said Greatrex. The Shores Association invited Greatrex to head the agenda at a future meeting and provide a complete presentation on the group’s mission and its feasibility.
Renowned biochemist Michael A. Marletta, Ph.D., has been named the next president of The Scripps Research Institute. He will succeed President Richard A. Lerner, M.D., who has led the institution for 25 years. Marletta, past chair of the Department of Chemistry, co-director of the Chemical Biology Graduate Program, Aldo DeBenedictis Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Biochemistry in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Berkeley, will join the Scripps Research faculty on July 1, and become president and CEO on Jan. 1. “We are thrilled Michael is assuming this important role,” said Dick Gephardt, president/CEO of Gephardt Government Affairs and lead trustee of TSRI’s board, in a press release “We are confident Michael’s leadership and vision will ensure the Institute’s continued preeminence in biomedical re-
search and graduate education.” In that same press release, Marletta praised Lerner’s leadership and added, “In addition to my excitement about being asked to serve as president, I am thrilled about moving my research program to Scripps Research and working with my new Scripps Research colleagues to push forward the Institute’s legacy of creating knowledge, improving healthcare, and educating the next generation of scientists.” Marletta is a former recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship who has focused his research on the intersection of chemistry and biology. He is acknowledged as a pioneer in discovering the role of nitric oxide, a critical player in communication between cells. Marletta completed an AB at the State University of New York (SUNY), Fredonia; a PhD from UC San Francisco, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

FROM FIREWORKS, A1 fireworks display to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is pending. The San Diego Water Quality Control Board recently issued a tentative order exempting small-scale, one-time fireworks displays from proposed rules. Meanwhile, Diane Harkey, the Dana Point assemblywoman whose district includes parts of North San Diego County, has introduced AB206. Her legislation would exempt municipal firework shows from the California Environment Quality Act and California Coastal Act. “The regional board’s revised proposed ordinance limits monitoring requirements of sediment testing to the biggest fireworks displays — SeaWorld’s and those over San Diego and Mission bays that exceed 1,000 pounds, the threshold for a fairly sizable display,” said Robert Howard, an attorney with Latham & Watkins who represents La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, a nonprofit formed in 2009. “The regional board has gone through the scientific evidence and determined that once-a-year fireworks displays do not create a significant environmental problem,” he added. The order, as originally proposed, would have required the sponsor of any fireworks display over water to submit a notice of intent, pay
an application fee and participate in or execute a monitoring and reporting plan. Reacting to the regional board’s revision of its tentative order, attorney Gonzalez said, “Regardless of how watered down that permit process becomes, we’ve accomplished our goal of getting a regulatory process in place.” He also said he doesn’t “know that what’s been proposed by the regional board in its revised tentative order is legal.” In 2010, Gonzalez filed a lawsuit against the city of San Diego, the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation and Promote La Jolla, alleging fireworks would harm sensitive coastal resources in La Jolla and that the coastal display needed to comply with CEQA. Promote La Jolla was recently dropped from the lawsuit. In late June 2010, Judge Linda B. Quinn denied a temporary restraining order sought by Gonzalez that would have blocked the La Jolla Fourth of July event. “Our lawsuit would require CEQA law to apply to that (La Jolla) show, which hasn’t been subject to any environmental review,” Gonzalez said, adding CEQA requires an initial environmental study of fireworks be done before determining whether a full-blown environmental impact report would be required. “Our goal is to get a greater understanding of what the impacts are
from these fireworks shows … So we can decide whether we need more (environmental) regulation or less,” said Gonzalez. Deborah Marengo, a board member of La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, formed after La Jolla restaurateur George Hauer ceased hosting the event after 24 years due to rising costs Deborah and lagging supMarengo port, said the nonprofit has already begun fundraising on its website, www.lajollafireworks.org, for this year’s event. “We want to get fundraising done so we can secure everything and not have to get the show on at the 11th hour like we did last time,” she said. Marengo said they’re dealing with a problem from last year as about 20 percent of those who pledged funds never actually delivered. The cost of staging the event exceeds $40,000, said Marengo, noting permitting, staging and cleanup costs go up every year. “I urge all the businesses that benefit from the pyrotechnics display to make an early and large contribution,” she said. “This event has been a staple in La Jolla for 26 years, and if we want to see it continue, we need everyone’s support.”
Architectural historian aims to spur response during talk BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Keith York will engage La Jollans in assessing their architectural heritage and helping them understand their community’s design future rests with them Thursday as the La Jolla Historical Society kicks off its Contemporary Architects Making History 2011 Lecture Series. “I’m going to highlight some of the great things — and not so great things (architecturally) — that have happened in La Jolla,” said York, a non-La Jollan who is an architectural historian and board member of San Diego Architectural Foundation. “I will open showing some slides, a survey of La Jolla architecture, and hopefully enlist a response from La Jollans.” York’s lecture, at 7 p.m. at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St., is the first of 10 to be held in the series featuring mostly local architects talking about their work and how it’s woven into the community’s rich architectural tapestry. The architecture lecture series includes a husband-wife team, Taal Safdie and Ricardo Rabines of Safdie Rabines Architects on
March 24, as well as longtime La Jolla architect Robert Mosher, a practitioner of the Modern Movement in architecture, on June 2. Noting he’s not an architect but a historian, York will be evaluating the work of others and not his own. Given his outsider’s perspective, York characterized his approach as very much “a people’s view of architecture.” “The rest of the architects in the series will be talking about sighting, materials and budgets,” he said. “I stand out as the only person in the series that isn’t coming from that perspective.” York intends to break La Jolla down into regions, like the Muirlands, in discussing its characteristic architecture, evaluating where it’s been and where it’s going. “I want people to get wrapped up a little bit with the history, talking about stylistic shifts,” he said. “What I’m trying to bring across is that it (community’s character) has definitely radically changed over a century.” Tickets are $10 for Historical Society members, $15 for nonmembers; $75 or $130 for the series.

Chevron in business during remodeling Italian food truck heads for LJ BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer With obstacles overcome, work is under way on the long-delayed remodel of La Jolla Chevron at 7475 La Jolla Blvd. from a fullservice gas and repair shop to a gas station and high-end convenience store. Crews began demolishing the existing station on Feb. 11 and workers with shovels and heavy machinery were engaged in mopup the following Tuesday. “Financing and a few other issues we straightened out and we finally got a loan and we’re doing it (rebuilding) now,” said station owner Chris Medeiros, who has owned the business at the corner of Pearl Street and La Jolla Boulevard for 13 years. The service station, which has been open and selling gas and propane during reconstruction, actually had to be closed down for 10 days. “We had to make a kiosk and a temporary cashier area working out of a container,” Medeiros said. Concerning the timeline, Medeiros said, “It will probably be another three and a half to four months. Hopefully, if we don’t get too much rain, they (contractors)
The old service station has been razed and a new convenience store will take its place. DAVE SCHWAB are going to be done by June 1.” Zigman Shields is the general contracting firm doing the work. A service station of one kind or another has been on the La Jolla Chevron site since the ‘60s, Medeiros said. The format for his new convenience store is based on the Chevron model named Extra Mile. “I own it,” said Medeiros of the station site. “But I have an agree-
ment with Chevron to be able to use their products. Extra Mile is pretty nice. We’re going to have some real nice equipment and sell lotto and high-end coffees, beer and wine, and hot foods.” Medeiros added his gas station remodel has been in the works five years. “I’ve lost a lot of money and a lot of time,” he said. “I hope it’s going to go good.”
AUCTION
BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Two former La Jolla restaurant employees are looking to put a new, high-end twist on an old working-class standard: the lunch truck. Marco Pavlinovic, a former waiter for the defunct Trattoria Acqua, and Enzo Mauri, who was chef at that Italian eatery, are jointly involved in a new lunch truck venture named "Mangia, Mangia," — eat, eat in Italian. Scheduled to begin operating in La Jolla and elsewhere around San Diego in March, Pavlinovic said he’s busy finishing customizing his lunch trunk. “We’ll be serving Italian gourmet cuisine, sandwiches, paninis, salads,” he said, noting lunch trunks are a much more common sight in his native Italy. “There are no food trucks in San Diego that are specifically Italian." The fledgling entrepreneur said he's secured a spot in La Jolla to site his lunch truck on weekdays. “We have an agreement with the owner of Ace parking lot to be across the street at 1250 Cave St. from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.," said Pavlinovic. He added that he intends to stop over in other spots in San Diego in Little Italy,
Mission Hills, Golden Hills and North Park at other times during the day. La Jolla landlord Don Allison, who owns the space the Italian lunch truck proposes using, said he doesn’t have a problem with it “as long as he has permits and nobody objects to it.” “I wish him well,” Allison said, commenting the space he’s chosen to use, the parking lot behind the Christian Science Church fronting on Cave Street, is not “the greatest business location. He might have better luck in a park situation." The city’s Municipal Code spells out food handling and sanitation requirements for foodvending vehicles. The code requires permittees operating mobile units to notify a health officer. No person is allowed to operate a mobile food unit on any public street, highway, road, parkway or sidewalk, except in a planned district as expressly permitted. “Under no circumstances shall the location or operation of a mobile food unit be permitted to interfere with the free use of the public right–of–way,” states Municipal Code regulations.

‘Science a welcoming field’ LIGHT STAFF We asked Juan Carlos del Alamo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of biomechanics from UCSD, about his role in the “Nifty 50” speaker series that is part of the San Diego Science Festival. Its purpose is to encourage students’ interest in science, math and technlology. Del Alamos’s research interests inJuan Carlos clude bioengineering, fluid dynamics del Alamo and flow turbulence. His work has applications in a variety of engineering disciplines, from airplane design to developing new medical instruments. He talked with students at the Language Academy about the movement of fluid in the heart and body. ■ What's the most compelling point you make to get across to students the opportunities for careers in the sciences? I try to convey the idea that science is a welcoming field that is open to all of them because it revolves around new ideas. Indeed, young generations of students

with a fresh perspective are the most likely ones to come up with new approaches to solve outstanding challenges, and more importantly, with fresh questions that can open new fields and lead to the development of advanced technologies. I also try to explain that innovative ideas are good ideas regardless of their race, gender, background, etc. so that science is open to every one of them. ■ What influenced your own career path? Since I was a kid and through my teens, my family spent all our holidays in a tiny countryside village by a lake surrounded by mountains where my father and grandparents were born. There was nothing much to do there in the long summer days but to hike, swim, or ride a bicycle, so I was al-
ways wandering around nature. So I was somewhat of a "curious observer" of plants, birds, stars, etc, and I was most fortunate to have a very good friend, Dani, with whom to share my curiosity about nature. I am positive that these experiences shaped our career paths because both Dani and I eventually became scientists. ■ Is there anything you’d like to say about importance of the Nifty 50 program? The SD Science Festival Nifty-50 program is a wonderful initiative that will motivate students at an early age about the importance of Science to society and about new exciting career opportunities in science and engineering. I would like to add that, from the scientist perspective, bringing our passion and career experiences to K-12 classrooms is quite a stimulating experience that revitalizes our commitment to education and to society. In a sense, this program is not only good because it brings the lab to the classroom, but also because it takes the scientist out of the lab and puts him/her in closer contact with the "real world."
Probation violation leads to LJHS student’s arrest Facebook postings drew attention BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer While a student’s arrest was attributed on Friday to probation issues, La Jolla High Principal Dana Shelburne acknowelged in a note to parents Saturday that the student had “posted disturbing notices on his Facebook page.” In the e-mail, sent Saturday shortly after noon, Shelburne wrote that the Student, who was arrested at his home on Thursday evening, “will not be returning to La Jolla High.” He also wrote that parents should “be assured that authorities were involved from the outset and, contrary to rumors, no weapons were found on the student or at his home.” On Friday, Shelburne and district officials said the arrest was not related to the Facebook postings, but was strictly due to a probation violation.
The principal said then that they were aware of the postings because “a number of students came forward and gave us information that we needed so we could pass it on to authorities.” He praised the students for taking “active steps” when they learned of the postings. On Saturday, his letter to parents expanded on his original statement: “Earlier this week several students came to the administration with information about a young man at school who had posted disturbing notices on his Facebook page. Vice Principal Bev Greco, with the help of these students, collected pertinent information and worked with district authorities to take appropriate action. The young man was taken into custody at his home and will hopefully receive the help he so clearly needs.” The school is not taking any extra security measures at this time.

Give new Village group its voice — now OUR VIEW As the new La Jolla Village Merchants Association steps into the void left by Promote La Jolla, it’s important that city officials and our other local leaders take immediate steps to be sure the group has a seat at the table. As the groups that vet local development and community issues are structured now, many of them have represen-
tatives still serving who were appointed by Promote La Jolla’s board. That group has been all but a shell of itself for nearly two years and still its representatives have a voice, ostensibly the voice of Village business people. While we appreciate their service on the Traffic & Transportation Board, the Planned District Ordinance Committee, Coastal Access & Parking Board, and the Streetscape Committee, we
can’t wait any longer for their replacements to be named. The changes will require action from several fronts, including city officials because there are existing agreements or by-laws defining the makeup of the committees. Councilwoman Sherri Lightner has championed the formation of the new group. Today the new board will take the next steps to
get the City Council’s OK to become the operator of the La Jolla Business Improvement District and thus gain access to its funds. Lightner will be on hand to swear in the 15 new directors. We encourage her to make it clear today that the La Jolla Village Merchants Association will be the new voice of our business community. We also urge the organization’s new board to push for their voice to be heard.

BY RICK WILDMAN President, La Jolla Town Council The La Jolla Town Council is running on high-octane fuel since our increased residential and business memberships and donations have enabled us to hire Valerie Strocco as our administrator. Having concluded one of our most successful Christmas and Rick Holiday event, we are looking for Wildman people of all backgrounds to join next year’s committee. Please call Valerie, Ann Kerr Bache or me if you are interested in being a member of the organizing committee. Everyone is welcome. We want to make
our next signature event more inclusive than ever. April is the month for Town Council election of trustees. Three of our dedicated trustees are now termed out of office, so we will be looking for new faces who are willing and able to make a significant contribution to ensure that La Jolla is wellrepresented in all matters that involve Our Town. Greater San Diego now looks to the Town Council as the voice of La Jolla. This reality is something we will build on. Sunday’s Annual Orphan Car & Handcrafted Vehicle Meet, hosted by prominent La Jollan Howard Singer, brought droves of auto enthusiasts and shoppers to our village. It featured 72 unique and vintage autos from San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange and Imperial Counties. Our March 10 “Clean Elec-
tions” meeting — to be held at the Riford Center — will feature the guaranteed-to-blow-yoursocks-off La Jolla Historical Society introduction to the April 3 La Jolla Motor Car Classic. Presenters will also include folks from Independent La Jolla, the Surfrider Foundation, and the April 17 30th Annual La Jolla Half Marathon. We continue to build closer relationships with UCSD, Bird Rock, the Shores and the Riford Center. So please join us wherever you live in 92037. Don’t miss the chance to be part of our town’s history-in-the-making as we continue to put all the pieces together. There is no reason why, with wisdom and perseverance, our Town Council should not emerge as our City Council before the decade is out. Now there is a high-octane concept.
Some good news on streetlights YOUR VIEW BY EGON KAFKA La Jolla Village Lodge
If you live in a rural area you expect dark roads, but if you live in the city you expect to see bright streets that are illuminated by streetlights. La Jolla can thank San Diego General Services and the Streetlighting Section for fixing the streetlights on one of La Jolla's darkest streets, where the lights have been off for months due to the complete failure of an underground street lighting circuit which dates back to 1945. Fifteen new streetlights have
been ordered and are due to be installed in about two months on Girard from Prospect to Silverado. The new lights are classically styled to resemble the existing streetlights. To replace the old-fashioned constant amperage high voltage series circuit design, the new lights will be wired in a 240V parallel configuration. The new streetlights will employ modern luminaires that will provide better color rendering than the current (very yellow) Low Pressure Sodium lamps. In order to light Girard during this period leading up to the installation of new streetlights, I rigged and mounted crude "temporary streetlights" to the existing poles. Please
thank the landlords and merchants who are graciously providing “shore” power through umbilical cords from their buildings to energize these lights. La Jolla business community members are working cooperatively together to make do while awaiting a more permanent solution to this problem. If you are taking a walk on lower Girard at night and you notice that one of these naked CFL twistie bulbs is not lit, please give us a call here at the Lodge at (858) 551-2001 so I can come out and fix it. I am a member of the Streetscape Committee. The next meeting is at 6 p.m. Feb. 28 in the Conference Room at 1150 Silverado St.
Even more important: It’s critical that La Jollan residents know they too have a voice through the La Jolla Community Planning Association, the Town Council, Bird Rock Community Council and La Jolla Shores Associations and their homeowners groups. Together we can build a stronger community — one that is unified with a goal of restoring La Jolla’s jewel-like luster.
Together, we can stop elder abuse COMMUNITY LEADER’S VIEW BY PAUL DOWNEY CEO & President, Senior Community Centers Elder abuse victims often live in silent desperation, fearing retaliation from their abusers. Many times, it takes the courage of a family member or loved one to take action and stop the abuse. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse (www.ncea.aoa.gov), “elder abuse refers to intentional or negligent acts by a caregiver or trusted individual that causes (or potentially causes) harm to a vulnerable elder.” Paul California’s most prevalent Downey areas of elder abuse are physical and emotional abuse, financial abuse, and abuse in long-term care facilities. Elder abuse can occur anywhere and affects seniors across all socio-economic groups, geographic locations, educational backgrounds and cultures. However, women and “older” elders are more likely to be victimized. Dementia and other mental health conditions are significant risk factors. Elder abuse often comes with physical and behavioral warning signs. Physical warning signs may include uncombed or matted hair, malnourishment or dehydration, and unexplained bruises or scratches. An elder may display behavioral warning signs such as becoming withdrawn, helpless, angry or frightened. Elders may become depressed or withdrawn. It is also important to watch for signs of isolation.

Las Patronas gift recipient grateful YOUR VIEW BY TERRANCE E. STARR Redding, Calif. On a recent trip to San Diego I read an article about the Las Patronas Jewel Ball. I am writing to express my gratitude for something Las Patronas did for me 55 years ago. At that time I had just graduated from LJHS and was attending SDSU. I was 19 years old. I was working for Dr. Puterbaugh at the La Jolla Veterinary Hospital. A blood clot formed in my leg and I ended up in the old
Scripps Hospital. Complications kept me in the hospital for six months until July 1956. I had no medical insurance. Las Patronas paid for my hospital stay and I remain through all these years, thankful to them. While I am still a paraplegic, I have lived an active life, have great children and have enjoyed a successful career as a probation officer. I can only wonder what my fate might have been without the help Las Patronas gave me in 1956. I was also fortunate to be the recipient of the generosity of Bob and Amelia Hermann of La Jolla, who paid for my
physical therapy while in the hospital and for years following. In addition, the Hermanns paid my tuition at SDSU for the remainder of my education there. I graduated from SDSU in 1961. I still maintain my friendships with my classmates from the LJHS class of 1954, particularly Ed Magee. I want to thank Las Patronas for their great work. In all of our lives there are people who help us along the way. I am so very grateful for the help given to me at that crucial time in my life and I try to do my share of giving back every day.
YOUR VIEW
Stop using leaf blowers Today I am listening to leaf blowers in stereo — one in front of my home and one behind it. Ahhhhh the lovely incessant drone, like a twin-engine aircraft buzzing my windows. And then there are the clouds of dust being churned into the air, and the gasoline fumes coughing out the back. What do these machines accomplish, other than noise and air pollution? Well, they do a great job of moving leaves from one house to the next, only to be moved back by another leaf blower. Leaf blowers are not illegal in San Diego, as they are in a growing number of cities that have recognized the idiocy of a contraption whose sole purpose is to kick dust and leaves into the air while emitting air and noise pollution. However, we do not need to wait until San Diego (allegedly a forward-thinking green city) comes to its senses. We don’t need to be regulated into doing what is right. Here is an easy step: Tell your gardener not to use one. There is a lot of competition in gardeners; let’s use a free market society to correct what is a bane to many people’s existence. If your gardener refuses, get a new gardener. You will have done something to help the environment, and your neighbors will thank you! Beth McKinley LA JOLLA
which is housed at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. However, I was perplexed at your use of the phrase "alleged impact of global warming on ocean systems...." The word "alleged" is ambiguous and could seriously mislead your readers. The rise in sea level is not "alleged"; it is a fact. The long-term warming of the ocean (first reported for the California Current by Scripps scientists nearly 20 years ago, and since increased) is a fact. So are the progressive acidification of the ocean, decreased optical clarity of ocean waters, changes in coastal upwelling, and other properties. Please do not demean the serious, rigorous, peer-reviewed science that is the foundation of our knowledge base. Allegations are unproven; climate change impacts on the ocean are proven facts and we ignore them at our peril. Mark D. Ohman PROFESSOR, SCRIPPS INSTITUTIONOF OCEANOGRAPHY
Priorities all wrong if library services are cut
Thank you for your Feb. 10 article about our new colleague, Dr. Jim Eckman, the director of the California Sea Grant program
Closing La Jolla Library, or any library, three days a week would be shameful. Libraries are an ESSENTIAL service to the community. We'll be forever stupid, uninformed, illiterate and pathetic. Children will suffer the consequences of our short sightedness. It is clear that San Diego’s priorities need to be re-examined. Now! Tanja Winter LA JOLLA
FROM DOWNEY, A18 Be suspicious if an elder is not given the opportunity to speak freely or have contact with others without the caregiver being present. The first thing you can do to help prevent elder abuse is to be aware of the possibility of abuse. Look for warnings signs and ask others to do the same. Keep in contact with your
older friends, neighbors and relatives. Maintaining consistent communication helps decrease isolation, often a risk factor for mistreatment. Report suspected mistreatment to your local law enforcement or adult protective services agency. To report suspected abuse in the community, contact your local APS.
Sea level rise is a fact
OBITUARIES
William “Nick� M. Necoechea
Aug. 9, 1930 – Jan. 21, 2011 Nick Necoechea, a long time leader in the aerospace industry, died peacefully at his home in La Jolla, California, on January 21, 2011, after a long illness with cancer. He was 80. Born August 9, 1930, in Philadelphia, PA, he joined the Army at age 17 and served three years. A graduate of Santa Clara University, he then entered General Electric’s management training program and continued there until joining Aerojet. Nick was an executive with Aerojet General Corporation for three decades and retired in 1993 as Vice President. He joined the company at its Sacramento facility in 1962 in the accounting department and rose to several executive positions. At a crucial point in the company’s growth in 1977, he was asked to leave the financial field and become GM/President of the Tactical Systems division which produced small rocket motors for many military missiles. At the completion of that assignment in 1985, he moved back into the financial arena as VP Finance Aerojet General in La Jolla. He and his wife Gloria sup-
ported the Sharp Healthcare Foundation, UCSD undergraduate program, Ronald McDonald House, Meals on Wheels and various other charities in San Diego. Up until his passing, he was also one of the stalwarts of QED, an organization of retired and active business leaders concerned with challenges of San Diego County. The name QED stands for Quandaries, Explorations, Decisions and is patterned after the scholastic phrase QED – an abbreviation for the Latin phrase quad erat demonstratium, or which was to be demonstrated. An avid golfer, he played regularly at the La Jolla Country Club. He is preceded in death by a daughter, Debbie Wells. He is survived by his loving wife, Gloria; sisters, Eve Necoechea of New York and Jeanne Roe of San Jose; three children in Sacramento, David (Laurie) Necoechea, Steve Necoechea, and Leanne Welch; three step children; nine grandchildren; two step grandchildren; two greatgrandchildren; and a very large extended family of cousins, nieces and nephews. He will be truly remembered by his many friends from Aerojet. A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held March 2, 2011, in La Jolla. In lieu of flowers in honor of William’s memory, please send gifts to Sharp HealthCare Foundation (Sharp Stephen Birch Memorial Hospital), 8695 Spectrum Center Blvd., San Diego, CA 92123 or online at www. sharp.com/sharp-foundation/ tribute.cfm.

League championships cap seasons for local teams WEEK IN SPORTS BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer The regular season came to an end last week for high school sports teams and a few local teams were crowned champions of their respective leagues. The La Jolla Country Day girls basketball team, a state title contender, scorched through the Coastal South with a perfect 6-0 record. The Torreys (23-4 overall) begin their CIF playoffs Friday against Christian or Escondido Charter. The Bishop's School's girls soccer team also cruised to a Coastal South title with a perfect 8-0 record in league play. The Knights (11-3 overall) will take on either Chula Vista High Tech or Guajome Park in their CIF quarterfinal game Saturday. The Bishop’s School also had its girls water polo team win the Western League title and now are focused on the CIF playoffs (see story, A22). La Jolla High’s wrestling team won the Western League as well as having had four wrestlers capture CIF titles in Peter Donchev (135pounds), Kirk Lee (140), Quinn Strauser (152), and Matt Vasquez (160). Just missing out on a league title was the La Jolla girls soccer team. The Vikings finished right behind Coronado for the Western League title with a 6-2-2 conference record. The Vikings (11-4-3 overall) are

Nominations will be taken until March 4.
Bumper To Bumper Q. Juan: I just bought a brand new Chevy Silverado and want to personalize the truck. My question is where should I go to get parts and pieces to trick out my truck? There are so many Dave Stall magazines out there all saying their stuff is better than the next guy. I do not want to void my warranty or buy something that I am going to put on the truck and then regret the modification. What would you recommend? Do you have a shop you would recommend that sells and installs components for a Chevy Silverado? A. Dave: You didn’t really state what you wanted to do to your Chevy but if it were me I wouldn’t want to do anything to the truck that would void the warranty. The first thing I would do is make an appointment with the parts manager at the nearest Chevrolet dealership and ask him if he is a Pro Shop dealer. If so, ask him what he has to offer that will personalize your truck but still keep it under warranty. Once you have consulted with the dealership and decided on what you want to do, get all implied warranties in writing and you are good to go. I do want to mention that the aftermarket shops out there really do good work and have a good warranty system, but when your truck is still under the factory warranty, any warranty issues are less of a hassle if you have the work done at the dealership that sold you the modifications.

Q.Ted: I have a question. Why do kids today put a spoiler on the back of a frontwheel drive car? Doesn’t the spoiler work as a down force device? A. Dave: Simply put: it is “cool.” You are right — it doesn’t do a thing for performance; in fact the manufacturer does it as well. Kind of like white wall tires. No enhancements, just looks cool!

Q. Lance: I inherited my grandfather’s 1962 Chevy Biscayne four-door. It is not as cool as a two-door, but it runs and even has a V8 with an automatic transmission with the shifter on the steering column. I am 17 and don’t know much about cars of this vintage. My grandfather passed away in January and now I have the car with a book full of maintenance items that have been done and what needs to be done. My question is should I work on the car myself or take it to the shop? Any suggestions would be helpful. A. Dave: My first suggestion is go out and buy a shop manual so you can look at what needs to be done and then decide if you are able to complete the work. You will need a small amount of tools to get started. Call the San Diego Automotive Museum for any help: (619) 231-2886. They have a comprehensive library that is free to use and is a great source of knowledge. I would also recommend joining a Chevy Club in San Diego. You can get information on clubs at the museum as well. Once you are in the club, getting parts and information will be a lot easier. And don’t fret, the fourdoor is coming back and any classic can become a collectable for the right person.

Knights cruise,eye CIF title BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer It didn’t take long last Saturday morning for the Bishop’s School’s girls water polo team to flex their muscles during the Division III CIF quarterfinals at Coggan Family Aquatic Complex. The Knights dominated their first opponent in the tournament, cruising to a 21-5 rout against Santana. “Ithought we played very good team water polo,” head coach Doug Peabody said. “We were communicating well, finding the open player and were able to show our depth with the amount of girls who were able to contribute.” Among the leaders offensively were sophomore Jessica Webster, who led the way with four goals. Seniors
Claryann Olofsson-Loo and Kristen Casey each added three goals while freshman Natalie Chun also added three goals. Seven other Knights also scored in the lopsided game. However, the goal all season was to avenge last year’s disappointing loss in the CIF finals against Coronado. In fact, no players on the current roster have won a CIF title. That could all change this season as the Knights (23-4, 6-0 Western League) won two team tournaments as well as winning every game in Western League play — winning the team’s 10th league title in 14 years. One thing is for certain, the Knights won’t be playing Coronado in the finals — they actually play the Is-
landers in the semifinals (which took place Wednesday night). Coronado topped Mission Bay, a team that had 23 wins and won the Central League title to advance to the semifinal game. A win against Coronado will put the Knights back in the CIFchampionship game, a spot they are familiar with. In 14 seasons of water polo at The Bishop’s School, the Knights have reached the CIF title game every year. On the other end of the bracket, La Jolla and Cathedral Catholic will battle for the other spot in the finals. The Vikings routed University City 18-4 while Cathedral Catholic topped valley center 14-2 in other quarterfinal action.

Jane Burns is focused on finding the cause of Kawasaki disease Kawasaki disease is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children, yet its cause remains unknown. It’s a mystery Jane Burns has dedicated more than two decades to help solve. Burns is the director of the Kawasaki Disease Dr. Jane Burns Research Center at UCSD/Rady Children’s Hospital where she leads a multidisciplinary team that cares for about 80 new Kawasaki disease patients each year and follows more than 1,200 families in the clinic. Her husband, Dr. John B. Gordon, is an interventional cardiologist who cares for adults with long-term after-effects of Kawasaki disease (KD). Together, the couple and a team from UCSD have launched The Adult KD Collaborative, an epidemiologic and clinical study of cardiovascular biomarkers and functional studies in adults who suffered from KD in childhood. Burns, who is also a mother of two daughters, earned her M.D. degree at the University of North Carolina and completed her pediatric residency and chief residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. In 1983, Burns went to Harvard Medical School and the Boston Children’s Hospital for additional training in pediatric infectious diseases and molecular virology. She joined the faculty at Harvard in 1986 and in 1990 moved to San Diego and joined the faculty at the University of California, where she was appointed Chief of the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology in 2000. What brought you to La Jolla? My husband was recruited to join the San Diego Cardiac Center and I was the tag-along spouse. I am a native Californian and I was eager to move back to California to raise my children. We were living in Boston at the time with two small children so we took turns flying out.

FROM KIDS, B1 “Essentially we want parents to know what the warning signs of suicide are,” said SPEAK program coordinator Jean Foster. “We want them to know exactly what things they see or hear in a youth that should alert them that there’s a problem … that a child is suicidal.” They advised parents what to do for children suffering with thoughts of depression or self-inflicting injuries, which are often times due to the issues kids face — like bullying, trauma, relationship woes and stress. Above all else, the presentation placed emphasis on its acronym: SPEAKING. “We want to destigmatize the conversation around suicide and make sure we’re starting that conversation about mental illness,” Foster said. “That’s really our objective, to get people talking about mental illness so it’s not such a scary subject. By talking about it, we’re really doing something about it.” In association with the San Diego chapter of the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program, the SPEAK workshop included a suicide prevention video that students at Muirlands and La Jolla High also viewed during the week. SPEAK intends its message to touch children in need who haven’t received treatment for potentially dangerous issues. “We feel there are a lot of kids who might be depressed who aren’t in treatment,” Forster said. “We want to make sure we identify and get them the help they need.” Going forward, SPEAK coordinators hope to keep suicide prevention and awareness talks circulating to keep more San Diego youth from becoming suicide statistics.
Statistics on Suicide ■ On average, 34,000 Americans die by suicide every year.Of those, 5,000 are ages 15-24. ■ Suicide is the second leading cause of non-natural death among ages 10-14 in San Diego County. ■ Suicide is the third leading cause of non-natural death among ages 15-19 in San Diego County. ■ For every death by suicide,there are 100-200 suicide attempts by youth. ■ 13.9 percent of San Diego high school students reported having seriously considered suicide in the previous 12 months. ■ 80 to 90 percent of suicide deaths involved some form of diagnosable mental illness, usually depression. ■ More males of all ages die by suicide than females,though females attempt suicide twice as much as males. ■ The highest rates of suicides are among white and black males, 15-19. ■ 75 percent of people who completed suicide had given a warning sign about seriously considering it. ■ More than 50 percent of the youth who complete suicide are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

‘Green’ company picks La Jollan’s speakers as eco-friendly designs BY EMILY DERUY Contributor La Jolla resident Conor Hulburt has been designing speakers for more than a decade, since he was in high school. Now, all the time spent developing and testing new models is paying off. Hulburt’s bamboo theater system has been selected as one of the top 12 projects in the United States by Cali Bamboo, a company committed to sustainable products and Earth-friendly design. Finally built on his 30th birthday after extensive planning and constructing with the help of his father, the speakers took Hulburt a year to design. Made from bamboo plywood and banana pulp, the materials used to build the speakers are durable, renewable and sustainable — exactly the type of project Cali Bamboo wants to promote. Founded in 2004 by two friends, Jeff Goldberg and Tanner Haigwood, the company operates on the philosophy that a business can have a positive impact on the environment. The
company sells only products made from renewable resources, and donates one percent of its revenue to environmental organizations. As the website calibamboo.com reads, “Cali Bamboo’s mission is to promote the use of bamboo as a new material for everyday products. It is our hope, that by providing alternative products made from renewable resources, we can make a difference in the future of our planet.” Each month, Cali Bamboo hosts a contest, asking customers and those who visit its website at calibamboo.com to choose three “Project of the Month” winners from 12 candidates. Each of the projects displays innovation and a commitment to utilizing ecofriendly material. Additionally, all bamboo used must have been purchased from Cali Bamboo. “(Since) I used bamboo and banana pulp,” said Hulbert, “everything is sustainable, everything is green. The bamboo wood is super dense, so you don’t get any unwanted vibrations, and they’re very lightweight.”
The design utilizes a single point source driver with a rear facing port to enhance the bass, and the speakers’ frequency response is tailored by a digital equalizer. The speakers are powered by a custom amplifier also constructed by Hulburt. Environmentally friendly, they produce a high-quality sound as well. While Hulburt acknowledges, “bamboo is not cheap,” the reaction to his speakers has been overwhelmingly positive, and he sees a market in buyers who shop on sites like Etsy. “They are a prototype (VSN 1.0) for a series of speakers that I’d eventually like to market,” said Hulburt. “So far, I’ve received a lot of interest in the final product, which is encouraging.” If he wins one of the top three spots in the February contest, Hulburt will get anywhere from $100-$500 to spend at Cali Bamboo. He said he would use the funds to continue developing environmentally friendly, top audio quality home theater systems. “Most speakers are plastic and made overseas,” he said. “These are more artisan speakers.”

TRUE OR FALSE?
The most popular dog in America is the Shih Tzu. False. According to the American Kennel Club’s registration statistics, the most popular dog (for the 20th year in a row) is the Labrador Retriever. 2: German Shepherds. 3: Yorkshire Terriers. 4: Beagles. 5: Golden Retrievers. The gentle, intelligent and familyfriendly Labrador Retriever, is originally from Newfoundland, Canada. It’s a versatile hunting breed that comes in three colors —yellow, black and chocolate. Because of its aptitude to please its master, the Labrador Retriever excels as a guide dog for the blind, as part of search-and-rescue teams, and in narcotics detection with law enforcement. It will thrive as part of an active family. The Labrador Retriever sports a doublecoat that sheds seasonally; so regular grooming keeps the coat at its water-resistant best.

Simple savory dishes for the short month of February Paying homage to the shortest month of the year — here are a few abbreviated Catharine L. recipes (five ingredients or Kaufman less — salt, pepper, other spices and water are freebies) to please the palates of vegetarians, pollotarians, pescavores and carnivores. I’ve thrown in a side dish on February folklore to explain why this month was short-changed by the calendar gremlins — only 28 days, except 29 in leap years.

■ February Facts & Folklore In ancient Rome, circa 8th century B.C. the calendar only had 10 months, March to December, and was constantly being refigured since the Romans, an agriculturally based people, had lives dictated by the cycles of planting and harvesting. King Numa Pompilius tacked January and February onto the calendar to give the year 355 days. The rest of February’s fate was controlled by political power and ego. When Augustus became emperor, the senate did not want August, the month named after their leader that only had 30 days, to be outnumbered by Julius Caesar’s month, July, which had 31 days. So they borrowed an extra day from the unpopular February, then the last month of the year, a winter month with no agricultural significance. That’s why poor February, already short with 29 days, got snipped to 28. For other quick recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit the blog at FreeRangeClub.com

Changing our décor gave me the shutters OK, I admit it. I don’t like change. When Olof married me 16 years ago after eight years of commuting from the Bay area, I knew it was important for him to have his own space in my house since he’d had to give up his own. Since Rory had just left for college, I told Olof that room was his to do what he wished. Who knew I married someone with no taste? What I really meant when I made the offer, of course, was that he was free to do what he wanted with the furniture. Buy more. Decorate at will. No Air Force souvenir too tacky. What I wasn’t prepared for was his decision to dump the wall-to-wall carpeting and shutters in favor of hardwood floors and blinds. I still remember the dagger that went through my heart when he announced this. I grew up in upstate New York in a house with hardwood floors and blinds. The floors were cold, noisy, high maintenance and uncomfortable to sit and play on. And those Venetian blinds? I spent my childhood in enforced labor dusting those suckers slat by slat on Saturday mornings. From the time I was six, my dream home included only wall-to-wall carpeting and shutters. OK, so shutters have slats, too, but
Let Inga Tell You ...
FROM WOMEN, B1 States, aiding Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1979. Her causes included civil and human rights, curbing world hunger, and supporting the arts and humanities. Costanza passed away in March 2010. • Judy Forman of South Park is a community activist and supporter of women’s issues for decades. As owner/operator of the “Big Kitchen Café,” she opens her home, her business and her heart to making change in women’s lives. • Rita Sanchez of Normal Heights taught the first Chicana course at Stanford University as a graduate student. The product of that class was a Journal of W omen’s Writings published that same year. Sanchez was the first woman to be hired as a full-
my dream included a cleaning lady. Meanwhile Olof was peeling back a corner of the wall-to-wall. “Great!” he said. “There’s hardwood under here. All we have to do is rip out this crummy carpet.” Crummy carpet? Could this marriage be saved? I have to confess that I delayed, stalled, cajoled, and otherwise resisted removing my beloved carpet and shutters. But ultimately, a deal’s a deal, even if the dealer was a total idiot to ever have made such an ill-considered promise to the dealee. The day the floor refinishers showed up to take out the room’s carpet, I panicked. In my heart I knew this was a terrible decision, one that Olof was going to regret once the sterile Siberian floors were exposed and the nasty charmless blinds in place. But we’d never be able to match the carpet again. Which is when I hatched upon a brilliant idea. For a large undisclosed sum, I hired the floor folks to roll up the carpet and pad and wrestle it up into the crawl space in the attic. (No garage in this house.) Who knew carpet could be so heavy? But when Olof realized the error of his ways, I could say, “Tada! It’s not too late! The old carpet is still here!” He would be in awe of my prescience and creativity. The floor guys saw it differently. “I just hope you realize that that carpet is up there permanently, lady,” they groused. “And we wouldn’t advise standing underneath it in an earthquake.”
When Olof came home from work that night, he admired the newly sanded floor awaiting its first coat of urethane. “You’re taking this all remarkably well,” he said. “I would have thought you’d be on your third glass of wine by now.” I smiled beatifically. “Olof, my little lutefisk, my only goal in life is to make you happy.” Which he was until he got out the ladder some months later to bring down a computer box from the attic. “Inga,” he said tersely, “why is there 500 pounds of carpet in our crawl space?” Ultimately, all the carpet in the house had to be replaced; the worse for wear after 20 years of kids. So it was either all new carpeting – or go for all hardwood. But by this time, the kids were gone, and I’d come to realize that these were not my mother’s hardwood floors. Nowadays they were easy to clean, almost maintenancefree, lovely to look at. OK, so Olof was right about the floors. (I still dispute the blinds.) When the refinisher guys came to rip out the carpet throughout the house, I had to pay them six times the original undisclosed price to get the quarter ton of carpet out of the crawl space. “What moron would do this?” they grunted as they wrestled the carpet down. That’s easy: One who hates change. Look for La Jolla r esident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in the La Jolla Light. Reach her by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

Contributor assersby might have noticed the large inflatable frog delivering a silent Valentine’s Day greeting in front of Barbarella Restaurant on Avenida de la Playa. Or perhaps they spied the dozens of fuzzy hearts and other love-espousing paraphernalia spread throughout the indoor patio. The holiday flair is just one of many ways that owner and executive chef Barbara Beltaire keeps things playful at her Italian bistro. Caught within this month’s decorations are two Barbarella mainstays that should not be overlooked. The first is a graceful vase behind the bar, holding roses this time of year, and the second is the pizza oven in the corner, covered in decorated tiles. Both pieces are by Niki de Saint Phalle, the world-famous French artist whose “Sun God” sculpture adorns a hill at nearby UCSD. De Saint Phalle lived in La Jolla from 1994 until she passed away in 2002 and was also Beltaire’s unofficial

The vase, the oven and the graphics she designed for the fledgling restaurant reflect the support that de Saint Phalle gave her friend. “She was a big influence in my life, and her art reminds me of her playfulness. So she brought out the playfulness in me, too.” Another way Beltaire keeps things playful is with a special “yappy hour” menu, coinciding with happy hour, which offers visiting canines items such as organic eggs, prime beef and even ice cream. If one of her neighborhood dogs is passing by, she might

offer up a biscuit personally. Barbara is decidedly hands-on, so you might see her in as many places throughout the restaurant as the dangling heart-shaped Valentine’s adornments. Along with her staff, Barbarella achieves a dining experience with personality. That experience might include a beautiful roasted fish, or if you are less ambitious, the seared salmon or the pizza max, which is topped with smoked salmon and crème fraiche. The burgers are also well executed, if unexpected on an Italian menu. “Believe it or not they do have a hamburger in Italy,” Beltaire insisted. If you aren’t the type to enjoy the decorations, maybe you’d come just for the food, or the patio well-stocked with both heaters and stacks of blankets. You’d think twice about Halloween, which has become a major investment for Beltaire. But quieter seasons are certainly nothing to be afraid of — with the friendly staff, warmth and cozy atmosphere year-round.
David and Laura Lorver enjoy the warm indoor patio on a cold night before Valentine’s Day.

Music Society brings the Vienna Philharmonic to San Diego BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor One of the world’s finest symphony orchestras will be making its first appearance in San Diego on March 4 at the Civic Theatre, thanks to the La Jolla Music Society. The 160-year-old Vienna Philharmonic has as its motto six words from Beethoven’s preface to his Missa Solemnis: “from the heart, to the heart.” Beethoven’s heartfelt words and works inspired the creation of this orchestra, but it’ll be presenting two other great German romantics here - Brahms and Schumann. And they’ll be under the baton of Russianborn Semyon Bychkov, who has been musical director of an international trio of orchestras: the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, and the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln in Cologne, Germany, where he was principal conductor for the past 13 years. A frequent guest conductor in the U.S. and Europe, Bychkov is married to Marielle Labèque, who, with her sister, Katia, comprises the acclaimed piano duo known as the Labèque Sisters. Music is obviously a family enterprise: Bychkov’s brother, Yakov Kreizberg, is chief conductor/artistic advisor of the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra and the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, and principal guest conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the other major

orchestra in Vienna. Unlike most symphony orchestras, the Vienna Philharmonic has no principal conductor. Instead, since 1933, they’ve had a succession of guest conductors, including such luminaries as Richard Strauss, Arturo Toscanini, and Leonard Bernstein. Semyon Bychkov’s name isn’t quite as well known, but his reputation is impressive: He’s been called elegant, exemplary, and exciting, “a beautiful moulder of orchestral colour.” On the March 4 program is Brahms’ Symphony No. 2, which the Vienna Philharmonic originally premiered the year it was written 1877. Bychkov has been hailed as a sensitive interpreter of Brahms, whose
four symphonies he recorded with the WDR Orchestra. “For a conductor, the most difficult question in Brahms is balancing the classical discipline and the romantic spirit,” Bychkov said. “The music of Brahms is always intimate, no matter how loudly it’s talking.” The La Jolla Music Society has come a long way since its beginnings as a chamber music group in 1968. It now presents not just classical music, but contemporary music, jazz, and dance, and it’s gone beyond the borders of La Jolla to include larger venues like the 730-seat Birch North Park Theatre and the 2960-seat Civic Theatre downtown. LJMS programming has become even more adven-

Beach’s background encompasses both music and theater, including positions at the Metropolitan Opera and the Santa Fe Festival Theatre, which he started in 1980. More recently, as director of The Performing Arts Center at New York’s Purchase College, he is credited with turning a rather modest program into a major arts complex. So he’s no stranger to large undertakings, and the March 4 concert is certainly LJMS’s largest, involving the transport of 125 members of the Vienna Philharmonic and four years of negotiations and planning.

“We’re the ones who bring the world to San Diego,” Beach said. “So when the possibility of bringing an orchestra here that was on everyone’s list and had never been here before arose, I said: ‘This is exactly what we’re about!’ “ To make the undertaking a little less “wildly expensive,” Beach helped invent a 5-city West Coast tour for the orchestra. To give San Diegans an extra-special taste of old Vienna, the concert will be followed by the WinterFest Gala: a Viennese Ball. But the heart of the evening is of course the concert. “It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for San Diegans,” Beach said. “It will be a blow-the-roof-off-the-building kind of performance.”

MUSEUM OF ART
In a grand departure from its traditional bill of fare, The Timken Museum of Art (known for the past 45 years for its collection of European and American master paintings) will showcase four of Robert Wilson’s groundbreaking contemporary video portraits, Feb. 25 to May 15. Three of the portraits will be displayed on 65-inch high-definition plasma monitors. The fourth will be projected on the south exterior wall of the museum. According to museum press materials, the portraits depict personalities from the world of performing arts, including Robert Downey, Jr., Mikhail Baryshnikov, Jeanne Moreau and Winona Ryder, who take on an aspect of their professional lives by being captured in character — but in character inspired by great masterpieces of European art. Robert Downey, Jr., lies as the corpse recalling Rembrandt’s “Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp”; Mikhail Baryshnikov poses as Saint

art of our own time as a means to acquire a greater understanding of the art of the past and of shared concerns that transcend the ages,” said John Wilson, Ph.D., executive director of the Timken and no relation to the video artist. “While a traditional Timken visitor might infer that this exhibition is a departure from the core mission of the museum (a museum devoted to the art of the past) it is precisely because of how these contemporary video portraits are inspired by Old Master paintings which makes them so trenchant to the Timken’s vision.” The models appear in near-motionless poses, instructed to “think of nothing,” and to limit any gestures to one or two movements. The result is
that it appears to be a still image, but one with almost imperceptible movement by the subjects. The videos are created to be infinite in length to eliminate any narrative beginning or end, approximating a still image.The portraits are accompanied by a discreet, individually composed, soundtrack. “As with all great portraits, these are poetic biographies of their subjects in addition to likenesses.Inspired by past works of art, history, or popular culture, Wilson’s portraits take a minimalist approach, but in a theatrical setting punctuated by dramatic lighting and high production values,” John Wilson said. Robert Wilson has been described as “a towering figure in the world of

experimental theater.” His productions have decisively shaped the look of theater and opera, and with all his work having a profound base in fine arts, his work transcends media and genre. Born and educated in Texas, he moved to New York in 1963 and by the end of the decade was considered a leader of Manhattan’s downtown art scene.His monumental “Einstein on the Beach” with music by Philip Glass (1976) is widely considered one of the most influential productions of the second half of the 20th century. While Wilson’s earliest work was in theater and opera, he began working in video in the mid-1970s. Influenced by Andy Warhol’s series of threeminute films, “Screen Tests,” Wilson created a piece called “Video 50,” with 100 episodes, each 30 seconds long. Among the episodes were portraits of Louis Aragon, the Surrealist poet, and Michel Guy, the French minister of culture at that time. Meeting a few years later in Japan with Sony chief Akio Morita, Wilson shared his idea of life-size vertical video portraits that would break the horizontal screen traditional for televisions. Since that time, Wilson’s portraits drew considerable attention and in 2004 Voom HD, a media company specializing in high-definition entertainment, named Wilson its artist-inresidence and commissioned his works. Dissident Industries produces the video portrait works as well as the traveling exhibition.

Local teen photographers will report on town meeting in unique newspaper
San Diego Foundation seeks artists’ input on funding The Arts & Culture Program of the San Diego Foundation is asking San Diego County-based artists to participate in an online survey to help the organization assess the needs of professional artists in consideration of a potential new individual artist grant program. The 10-minute survey closes Monday, Feb. 28. To participate, artists are asked to link to http://sandiegoarts.questionpro.com. This two-year program will be customized based on the artists’ feedback. The arts and culture program works to ensure that the region has all of the resources it needs to be a nationally competitive arts and culture center, now and into the future. “Too many artists are lacking the resources to complete their dream project. I hope to hear directly from them so I can tailor a program that meets their greatest needs,” said director Felicia Shaw.

Russian artist Butirskiy to visit Monarch Gallery this weekend
Meyer Fine Arts gallery plays host to 11 Hodgkin prints … until Friday
Monarch Gallery, 1205 Prospect St., will host two receptions for Russian artist Alexei Butirskiy whose works are on exhibit at the gallery through February. Art-lovers can meet and watch Butirskiy work from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24 and Friday, Feb. 25. Reservations are requested at (858) 454-1231. Born in Moscow in 1974, Butirskiy entered Moscow Art College in 1992 and in 1998, entered the Russian Academy of the Arts where he studied under L.S. Hasyanova. The sophisticated application of light effects with color reinforce the majesty of his compositions, according to the gallery website promoting his visit. Butirskiy’s paintings are reminiscent of the works of Claude de Lorraines and Caravaggio with their luminescent qualities and skillful variations of light and dark. Since 1996, Butirskiy has participated in exhibitions, one-man shows and auctions in Russia, England, and the United States.
Meyer Fine Arts is the only private gallery on the West Coast to display original, hand-colored PRINTS by internationally renowned 21st century British printmaker and painter, Howard Hodgkin, in connection with the Hodgkin PAINTING exhibition “Time and Place,” at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park now through May 1. Hodgkin’s prints have never been shown together with his paintings until Meyer Fine Art, Inc. closed the separation. The gallery’s limited engagement of 11 small prints by Hodgkin will be on view through Friday, Feb. 25 at 2400 Kettner Blvd., Suite 104, San Diego.

Scripps will host pet therapy workshop
Amber and Libby take part in last year’s Pet Therapy Holiday Party honoring volunteer handlers at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. COURTESY
M
eet some of the volunteer pet therapy dogs at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and learn about the healing effects pets have on humans from a panel of certified pet therapy professionals from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 2 in the Volunteer Services Workroom at Scripps. The program is open to the public and beneficial for anyone interested in certifying a dog for the Scripps Pet Therapy program. Pets will not be allowed at the workshop, which is an educational opportunity for humans only. For questions or to register, contact Sandy Dooley at dooley.sandy@scrippshealth.org or (858) 626-6076.
FROM QUESTIONS, B1 for this job more than anything else in the world. So, I flew out to San Diego by myself and had five days to find a house and a job. I found both and the rest is history. That was in 1989.
about 100 new cases in San Diego. W e celebrated the 50th anniversary of Dr. Kawasaki’s discovery of the disease and yet the cause remains a myster y. You can visit www.pediatrics.ucsd.edu/ kawasaki to learn more.
What makes this town special? I grew up in San Francisco on Union Street and, as a child, I could walk down to the shops and say hello to people that I knew. The village in La Jolla has the same small town feel. The views of the ocean are spectacular. Swimming at the Cove followed by breakfast at The Cottage.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom would you invite? I would invite my parents and their parents. My parents died when I was in my 30s and I never took the opportunity to really talk to them about their lives and ask the questions that an adult child wants to know. How amazing it would be to sit there with two generations and to get insights into how I came to be the person that I am.
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add or subtract in the area? I would make the four tall buildings disappear that were built before the Coastal Commission was created. They are a blight on our beautiful views. Thank goodness zoning protected us from the developers! What inspires you? Medical mysteries and sick children; I have devoted my career to tr ying to solve the mystery of Kawasaki disease. Every year we diagnose and treat
What are you reading? I am working on a grant to fund my research and I am reading about how a master molecule in the body called “transforming growth factor beta” signals cells to behave as they do. My work is my passion and it’s exciting to read about the inner workings of cells. Probably wouldn’t be most people’s first choice, but I’m enjoying it! What are your prized possessions? I don’t really prize possessions. I am
a people person. My family, friends and colleagues all over the world— that’s what is important to me. What do you do for fun? I have lots of energy so tennis, swimming at the Cove, walking the dog with friends — all great outlets. I also love to travel and I speak four languages. I love diving into a new culture and soaking up ever ything I can. What is your greatest accomplishment? Raising two wonderful children definitely tops the list of greatest accomplishments. Outside of my family, I am proud of creating the Kawasaki Disease Research Center at UCSD and creating an environment where researchers and students can bring their creative talents to bear on solving aspects of the Kawasaki disease myster y. What is your philosophy? The way you change the world is by one person at a time. I spend my life touching other people’s lives through healing my patients and, hopefully, inspiring my students. One person can make the world a better place, one person at a time.

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.

Confidence points to stronger market The gradual recovery of the real estate market has only been held in check by consumer confidence, a category that has recently made substantial gains, according to Prudential California Realty’s February 2011 real estate report. The report, which includes an analysis of data created by the Wells Fargo Economics Group, showed that consumer confidence jumped 7.3 points in January to a total of 60.6. All of the key components increased solidly during the month, making this the best report for consumer confidence since the onset of the financial crisis. In Southern California, investors have returned, indicating an increase in confidence among people that understand the dynamics of real estate. — Mark Johnson, Vice President, Marketing and Technology, Prudential California Realty
