Pair document La Jolla’s access points to beach BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com La Jollans Debbie Beacham and Melinda Merryweather have been busy on a “walkabout.” But it’s La Jolla’s beaches they’ve been wandering, not the outback. Both members of La Jolla Town Council’s Parks and Beaches Committee, the two longtime La Jolla women have been surveying the community’s nearly 100 beach access points from Tourmaline Street to Box Canyon in La Jolla Farms, photographing them and documenting their condition. The pair’s efforts have uncovered some This Winamar Avenue surprising results: Such as some spots are path leads to the ocean. courtESY in total disrepair, while a few no longer even exist. “The community had to know what was left of these access points because some, like Princess Street, are actually gone,” said Beacham. “Others have changed over the years with cliffs sliding.” Beacham said the public should be aware of beach access. “It should be on everybody’s radar,” she said.

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com Painting broad-brush strokes of what a community farmers market would be like if it opened in front of La Jolla United Methodist Church off La Jolla Boulevard, the promoter on Thursday discussed the market’s prospects for success. “We’re hoping to be successful,” Catt Fields White told a mostly receptive crowd at the Bird Rock Community Council’s monthly meeting March 1. If approved it would be open Fridays from 2 to 6:30 p.m. The market is being presented as a fundraising opportunity for Bird Rock Elementary School.

La Jolla couple gives $10 million to UCsd Health sciences facility La Jolla philanthropists Steve and Lisa Altman have pledged $10 million to the planned Clinical and Translational Research Institute (CTRI) building to be constructed on the UCSD medical campus, UCSD Health Sciences officials announced March 3. Steve Altman is president of Qualcomm, Inc.; he and his wife, Lisa, have been generous patrons of many local and national charities. Their annual charity event, “Rock the Cure” has raised money in support of research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. “We are thrilled that the Altmans have stepped forward to accelerate a project that has been our dream for many years — to have a special building dedicated to having researchers and clinicians working side by side with patients to address major diseases,” said David A. Brenner, M.D., vice chancellor for Health Sciences. The Altmans know personally the impact that disease can have on a family. “Type 1 diabetes has afflicted many generations of our family,” said Lisa Altman. “Our son, who is now 21, was found to have type 1 diabetes when he was 13; Steve’s father, now 78, was diagnosed at age 4; Steve’s brother, Jeff, at age 12, and Steve’s niece — who is now 16 — at age 6.

Planners support Muirlands project By dave SchWaB daves@lajollalight.com After architect Tim Golba detailed changes to plans for two planned homes on Muirlands Drive that addressed neighbors’ concerns, La Jolla Community Planning Association trustees opted last week not to appeal the city’s approval. The 8-1-3 vote by the group, which makes landuse recommendations to the city, was a course reversal from a previous 6-0 vote by the La Jolla Development Permit Review (DPR) Committee against the project. The permit review panel opposed a variance for the project as well as the proposed lot split. More than two dozen residents turned out at the earlier meeting to object to the earlier request from the property owner to build two new dwellings — a 4,500 square-foot house to the south and a 5,500-squarefoot house to the north. Golba said at the LJCPA meeting on March 3 that the odd, boomerang-shaped property at 6604 Muirlands Drive is very unusual because it is just about the only neighborhood parcel wide enough and deep enough to accommodate a lot split. Golba’s presentation showing nearby homes re-

And the winners are ... ■ The top six vote getters in LJCPA’s election were David Little, Ray Weiss, Toni Crisafi, Orrin Gabsch, Jim Fitzgerald and Joe LaCava. ■ Dan Allen won election to a two-year term and Cynthia Bond won the seat for a one-year term. There were 10 candidates for eight open seats. vealed many of them are nearly or completely built out with little or no landscaping or open space. “Our project would preserve views and enhance community character,” he said, noting he had come up with a solution to a problem raised by neighbors about what to do with two existing driveways that exit into the narrow roadway just before the curve. “Paying homage to Bird Rock, we’ve designed a little roundabout that allows vehicles to turn around without backing up onto Muirlands Drive,” he said. From the audience, Darcy Ashley, former La Jolla Town Council president, applaud-

ed Golba’s redesign. “This is a good example of someone willing to work with the community and listen,” she said. After the meeting, planning association president Joe LaCava agreed. “The applicant and architect listened and did a substantial redesign to the project addressing the issues raised, and the planning group decided it was now a good project that they could support,” he said. Not everyone at the meeting however was pleased with the project or its redesign. Amy Chesire, who lives on Via Verde across the street from the proposed homes, said she’s not convinced redeveloping 6604 Muirlands won’t worse the existing traffic hazard, adding a lot split would also set an unwanted precedent in the neighborhood. n In other action, Bob and Kim Whitney, whose proposed three-story, mixed-use project in La Jolla Shores has been controversial, has retained an attorney and submitted a letter alleging the LJCPA violated the Brown Act, which calls for open meetings. They contend the decision to appeal the project to the City Council was made without proper action and notice by the La Jolla group.

Councilwoman Lightner calls for revised city water policies Staff and Wire reportS Councilwoman Sherri Lightner unveiled a plan at last week’s meeting of the council’s Natural Resources and Culture Committee to overhaul the city’s policies for maintaining a sustainable and affordable water supply. Residents tell her their lawns are brown but they aren’t seeing lower water bills, while business leaders say they need access to a stable water supply, Lightner said. Existing policies are outdated and often inconsistent, she said. Lightner said she hopes to bring her proposals forward for approval during the summer. She outlined the patchwork of existing, outdated Council policies that currently deal with water before describing her draft policy and the importance of creating an implementation plan after City Council approval of the new policy. She called on her colleagues to join in developing a plan with other stakeholders in San Diego to implement the new policy. In a press release, Lightner described her water policy efforts as “one of my top priorities for this year because the City Council is relying on policies that are over a decade old to make critical decisions about our water supplies, water rates and infrastructure that are affecting all businesses, residents and other ratepayers in the city.” Lightner then highlighted resident and business concerns about water rates and reliability. “Business industry groups tell me that San Diego is a great place to do business, but we must ensure that there is enough water to sustain our economy in the future. Residents tell me that they continue

Policy Highlights ■ Development of a diverse local supply including conservation, desalination, graywater and rainwater collection and wastewater recycling ■ Collaboration between local and regional businesses, agencies and other partners for securing water reliability ■ Rate structures that encourage conservation and discourage waste ■ Increased communication between the City Council, Public Utilities Department, County Water Authority, Independent Rates Oversight Committee and Ratepayers Source: www.Sandiego.gov/citycouncil/cd1/

to conserve water, and yet their rates continue to rise. Their lawns are dead, and they haven’t saved any money on their water bills,” Lightner noted. Also at the meeting Councilman Carl DeMaio said he is forming a task force to find ways to lower water rates by 15 percent over the next five years. In January, the City Council approved a 5.9 percent increase in rates, passing along hikes from water wholesalers. DeMaio was one of two dissenters to the action. The increase amounted to $3.41 per month for the average homeowner, with the typical bill around $72. DeMaio invited members of the public to either serve on the task force or pass along their ideas. He said he hoped for a report by fall. — City News Service contributed to this report.

Seal ‘wars’ at LJ Children’s Pool continue By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Like the Energizer bunny, the seal “wars” at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool just keep going on, and on, and on … In the wake of a recent, failed attempt to keep the rope barrier separating humans from the harbor seals up year-round instead of just during the five-month pupping season, incidents involving the two camps have intensified. In February, pro-beach access advocates filed a complaint alleging some of the seal supporters stole a beach umbrella with a message that Casa Beach was open for public use. The matter was settled when a judge ordered $30 restitution and allowed the defendants to keep the old umbrella. Then, on Feb. 20, Eric Bizzigotti, his young son and a friend were playing on the beach at Children’s Pool when a foam football Bizzigotti was using to play catch with his son rolled down the beach into the middle of a group of seals. Retrieving the football flushed a large number of them into the pool. The incident was videotaped by seal advocates who subsequently showed it to authorities. The following Sunday when Bizzigotti returned to the beach, he was issued a $500 ticket by a National Marine and Fisheries Service (NMFS) agent for the earlier incident. Bizzigotti said he has 30 days to mail

in the fine or appear in San Diego Superior Court. He said he intends, as a matter of principle, not to pay the fine and to challenge the ticket. “Shared use is great,” he said. “But there needs to be an understanding that people and seals are going to interact. It’s like when you go to the park and the squirrels and the pigeons run away from you. People on the other side (pro-seal) are chanting, ‘Get off the beach. Shame on you.’ People (beach users) don’t want to get yelled at. They don’t want to be made a spectacle of. Harassment, apparently that’s legal.” Andrea Hahn, the seal advocate who shot the footage that led to the citation, said the situation merited enforcement. “This citation was long overdue primarily because the participants involved were keenly aware of the dangerous affect their insurgence so deep within a rookery full of newborn puppies and females in the late stages of their pregnancies involves, and simply didn’t care to comply in deference to the singularity of their particular political leanings,” she said. She added that a seal pup born prematurely “as a direct result of their decision-making” survived despite the intrusion. Meanwhile, beach-access proponents are ramping up lobbying efforts with the city and local community advisory

groups urging enforcement of a new permit system requiring “free speech” tables at Children’s Pool to participate in a lottery system, pay a user fee and be licensed. Pro-seal groups have refused to participate, claiming such permitting is unconstitutional and doesn’t apply to nonprofit groups. Kenneth L. Hunrichs of Children’s Pool Friends, one of the two groups backing beach access with permits for booths above the beach, has sent a letter to the city’s Park and Recreation Department stating: “The City of San Diego began a new permit system at Children’s Pool on Dec. 1, 2010. The presence of illegal vendors has interfered with the financial support our organization needs to conduct our educational activities As expected, the city-sponsored rope barrier is used as a tool of harassment and misinformation by extremist groups. The city appears to be leaving the enforcement to individual citizens. The continued failure of the City of San Diego to regulate the permitted table sites is irresponsible. The City is legally vulnerable for any injuries or damages due to lack of law enforcement at the Children’s Pool.” Hunrichs said no one from the parks has responded other than to tell them it has been received and passed along to management.

By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com City and UCSD officials teamed up with lifeguards Monday to announce restoration of lifeguard services at Black’s Beach in La Jolla. “Our highest priority is to provide for the safety of our citizens and visitors,” said First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who adding lifeguard service is to be restored March 14. “Restoring lifeguards to world-famous Black’s Beach will keep people safe as they surf and swim — the very activities that help make San Diego special.” “We understand the need to collabo-

rate, to help each other,” said Gary Matthews, UCSD vice chancellor for resource management and planning, noting the city and university are both suffering budget crises. “Our staff, faculty and students use this beach on a routine basis. However, it’s one of the most dangerous beaches in the city of San Diego. We feel it’s extremely important that we participate by ensuring lifeguard services are here.” Matthews cited “supporting safety and the value of one life” to justify why the university is contributing to lifeguard funding for Black’s at a time when university budgets are being cut and student fees are going up.

Praising UCSD and Lightner for their collaborative efforts, San Diego Lifeguard Chief Rick Wurts said the city “is excited to be able to put lifeguards back up at this beach.” Noting Black’s has very strong ocean conditions and some of the best surf anywhere, Wurts said, “Not only are we involved in rescues when we’re up here, but what we do with regard to preventative action is really the most important job that we do. If we can get to an incident that’s developing and keep it from becoming a critical situation … It’s going to be a very positive thing having lifeguards back up here patrolling the beach.”

LJHS e-waste drive nets 26,000 pounds La Jolla High School's third annual e-waste drive on Feb. 19 collected more than 26,000 pounds and raised revenue for the PTA. A portion of the funds will be used by the THUGS club (Tree Huggers Utilizing Green Resources) led by president Tracy Warren, a junior, and science teacher Howard Tenenbaum. They will be purchasing 10 more recycle bins for the classrooms at school and supplies for the outdoor campus interactive garden. This year e-waste was supported and driven by the student energy of Interact, THUGS, and ASB clubs. Ryan Mann, a junior, coordinated the THUGS and ASB clubs into the e-waste drive pro-

motion and volunteer assistance, while juniors Tom Wheeler and Kevin Riley, Interact members, helped with e-waste for their third year in a row. More than 23 students worked at LJHS collecting, sorting and receiving e-waste during a seven-hour period. Jane Wheeler, a parent who helped coordinate the event, said, “We could not have managed without dads of e-waste who lugged TVs and coerced teenagers all day.” Lisa Coy won the prize for the biggest donation of the day — her giant TV that had to be fork lifted away. Wheeler urged La Jollans to save their e-waste for next year’s drive.

Looking beyond the Cosmetics

Many buyers make home buying decisions based primarily upon emotional reactions to the homes we show them. A freshly painted home, attractively decorated with clean windows and little clutter will usually sell near the listing price and more quickly. Nearby a similar sized home which needs a lot of cosmetic attention lingers on the market even though sometimes priced considerably less. If you find yourself in the position of comparing two such houses, put your imagination to work. If the only difference is the decorating, cleanliness, floor coverings and clutter, remember that these items can all be easily changed. If you focus your attention on the location and the condition of the structure and major systems, you may be able to buy in the neighborhood you want for less money than you think. Your fears about problems with the less attractive home can be satisfied with a physical inspection of the property. Your offer will have a contingency for you to have a professional inspection of the structural components and working systems so that you can feel comfortable with your purchase.

FROM MARKET, A1

An area on Mira Monte in front of La Jolla Methodist Church, off La Jolla Boulevard, is the proposed site for a farmers market on Friday evenings. Dave Schwab

“The fact you’re a little out of the loop not next to a restaurant or a hotel — you’re only going to be so successful on a Friday afternoon in that location,” she said responding to one resident’s comment about the possibility of the market becoming “too popular.” Fields White’s remarks came less than a week after numerous Bird Rock residents living near the church turned out at a meeting of La Jolla Traffic and Transportation (T&T) Committee to question the appropriateness and viability of a market in their neighborhood. They expressed fear that the proposed venture would worsen rush-hour traffic and exacerbate existing parking problems in surrounding neighborhoods. Keith Kelman of T&T’s board talked Fri-

Swilley-Francoeur pleads guilty to identity theft, burglary Steven Swilley-Francoeur, who has worked at several La Jolla real estate firms, pleaded guilty on Monday to one charge of identity theft and a charge of burglary at Neiman Marcus. He will be sentenced on April 5. Superior Court Judge Ted Weathers told Swilley-Francoeur he faces 180 days in jail, according to Prosecutor John Cross, who said he could not release any other details of the case. Swilley-Francoeur, who was arrested in January, remains free on bail.

day about what he’d like to see farmers market proponents come back with in terms of canvassing community support for the venture. “For me good information is more a poll and less a survey,” he said. “I’d like them to ask if people are in favor or against, and then we can get a handle on percentages. It seems like there are a lot of people that support this, with a contingent of very vocal people not in favor of it because it’s closer to their homes.” Kelman added he’d also like market proponents to come forward with a better market map, as well as talk about who owns the empty lot where vendor parking is proposed. Chuck Patton, past BRCC president and owner of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, asked

about the potential impact on local business. “What are you going to do to ensure merchants on the boulevard are not directly competing with vendors at the market?” he asked. “We would love to involve Bird Rock merchants,” Fields White replied. “If their businesses fit, we’d be happy to talk to them about having a booth.” “There has to be a plan in place to ensure merchants on the boulevard are not directly competing with vendors at the market,” Patton added. Fields White reiterated what she said at the T&T meeting: that a Bird Rock farmers market would primarily serve local residents, many of whom would be expected to walk or bike to the event rather than drive their cars.

Liver a source of Alzheimer’s plaques? research report

By Lynne Friedmann Unexpected results from a Scripps Research Institute and Cardiff-based ModGene, LLC study could alter long-held ideas about Alzheimer’s disease — pointing to the liver instead of the brain as the source of the amyloid that deposits as brain plaques associated with the devastating condition. A mouse model for Alzheimer’s disease was used to identify genes that influence the amount of amyloid that accumulates in the

brain. One gene encodes a cell membrane protein (Presenilin2) believed to contribute to the development of human Alzheimer’s. Unexpectedly, expression of Presenilin2 was found in the liver of study animals but not in the brain. And, higher expression of Presenilin2 in the liver correlated with greater accumulation of beta amyloid in the brain and development of Alzheimer’s-like disease. The study appears in The Journal of Neuroscience Research. News release at http://bit.ly/dZDZfW.

Better survival after blood loss Scientists have used nanoparticles to improve survival after lifethreatening blood loss. Massive blood loss due to battlefield or trauma injuries can cause cardiovascular collapse, also

known as hemorrhagic shock. Nanoparticles containing nitric oxide (NO) were infused into the bloodstream of hamsters to help maintain blood circulation and protect viral organs. Increasing the body’s levels of NO gas relaxes blood vessels and regulates blood pressure which counters hemorrhagic shock. Nanoparticle therapy is lightweight and does not require refrigeration; a plus for battlefield and rural field conditions. The nanomedicine research was undertaken by scientists at UCSD and Albert Einstein College of Medicine who report their findings in the journal Resuscitation. News release at http://bit.ly/fLxLYh.

Mammoth undersea mountains discovered Scientists aboard Scripps Institu-

tion of Oceanography’s research vessel Melville are mapping a series of colossal and previously uncharted undersea mountains in remote areas of the South Atlantic Ocean, approximately 1,200 miles southwest of Cape Town, South Africa. The largest seamount spans some 87 miles across (the approximate distance from San Diego to Long Beach) and rises more than 14,700 feet from the seafloor— higher than California’s Mount Whitney. These undersea mountains were known from satellite data but never before charted at sea. These particular seamounts are so steep that navigating over them is described by scientists and the research vessel crew as “nerve wracking” as the R/V Melville found itself cruising over

9,840 feet of water to less than 1,640 feet in 15 or 20 minutes. News release at http://bit.ly/feP1C9.

Missing sugar molecule raises risk of diabetes Researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine and Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego say an evolutionary gene mutation that occurred in humans millions of years ago and our subsequent inability to produce a specific kind of sugar molecule appears to make people more vulnerable to developing type 2 diabetes, especially if they’re overweight. The findings appear in The FASEB Journal, a publication of the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology. News release at http://bit.ly/dJyCf9. n Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Salk gets Prebys gift

PATINA

Conrad Prebys, a trustee of The Salk Institute for Biological Studies recently contributed $1 million to establish the Conrad T. Prebys Endowed Chair in Vision Research for Dr. Tom Albright. In addition, as part of their senior scientist endowed chair challenge, Joan and Irwin Jacobs will match the donor's gift with an additional $1 million to establish the donor's named chair at $3 million, according to a press release. Albright is a professor and director of the Vision Center Laboratory at the Salk Institute. His work focuses on understanding the neuronal structures and events that underlie visual perceptual experience, and their contributions to knowledge, behavior, and consciousness. "This unique gift will help change the way we view the world," Salk Institute President William R. Brody said in the release. "The discoveries from Tom's lab will illuminate the mechanics of information processing in these high-level visual areas and define their unique contributions to visual perception and visually guided behavior." Prebys is the owner of Progress Construction Co. and a developer of real estate enterprises in California and Texas. He is a major philanthropist in San Diego "I couldn't be more pleased to support this extraordinary research,” Prebys said. “To work with the Salk on discoveries that can potentially impact millions of people is what draws me to the Institute.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of UCSD, the Light has asked La Jollans for their thoughts on how the university has influenced or changed La Jolla. This week, we share some thoughts from former UCSD Chancellor Richard Atkinson, who is also President Emeritus of the University of California. Here are excerpts from a presentation to the La Jolla Historical Society which he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;UCSD: From Field Station to Research University.â&#x20AC;? To read Dr. Atkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation in full, go to www.lajollalight.com. UCSD Chancellor Richard Atkinson The seed that grew into UCSD was planted early in the 20th century when William Ritter, a zoologist at Berkeley, honeymooned in San Diego and decided this would be a great place for a marine biology field station. He approached E.W. Scripps, the owner of the Scripps newspaper empire, and his half-sister, Ellen Browning Scripps, and they committed to providing support. As a result, in 1903, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marine Biological Association of San Diegoâ&#x20AC;? was officially established in the Hotel Del Coronado boathouse, where today its beginnings are on exhibit. A few years later the Association moved to its current site on what is now our lower campus. E.W. Scripps and Ellen Browning Scripps arranged for the transfer of the La Jolla land. Miss Scripps provided a substantial gift to fund the first building, and she asked the architect Irving Gill to design the building. That building is still there today. By 1912 the Association had become a complex of significant size. There was the Gill Building, a public aquarium, a pier and about two dozen wooden cottages where staff and faculty lived and worked. At that point the project was transferred to the University of California. The Regents accepted responsibility for it and changed its name to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scripps Institution for Biological Research.â&#x20AC;? In the mid-1920s the charter was modified. Its scope was expanded from marine biology to include marine geology, meteorology, biochemistry and physics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; laying the groundwork for the field of oceanography. At that

time it was renamed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scripps Institution of Oceanography.â&#x20AC;? In 1931 Roger Revelle arrived at SIO as a graduate student. â&#x20AC;Ś In the 1950s, SIO weathered the McCarthy era and prospered, ironically, because of Cold War concerns. â&#x20AC;Ś With Revelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, the institution prospered, as federal funds flowed in to support research. That growth gave Roger an inspiration. By the middle of the decade, he presented President Sproul with a plan for the future of SIO. His original idea was to build something like a Caltech in San Diego. That's not the right term, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a term that was often used in describing Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early plan. There were to be three divisions to the new institution, one of which would be SIO. The three divisions would span virtually all fields of science and engineering. The idea was that this would be like Caltech in that it would principally focus on research and the training of Ph.D.s in science and engineering. There would be the possibility of a few undergraduates, but only a few. President Sproul was enthusiastic about Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan and asked for a formal proposal. The formal proposal was submitted to a committee made up of faculty Sproul selected â&#x20AC;Ś The committee recommended that the plan be implemented. But faculty and administrators at the Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses soon learned about the details of the plan and were not happy. â&#x20AC;Ś At this point, considerable confusion arose, when another university-statewide committee recom-

mended that in view of the future needs of California, three new campuses of the university should be established and should be full-fledged campuses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with undergraduate and graduate facilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;on the model of UCLA and Berkeley. â&#x20AC;Ś About this time Sputnik was launched and there was much concern throughout the nation about whether American science would be able to compete successfully with its Soviet rival. Based on these events President Sproul decided â&#x20AC;&#x201D; independent of any decisions about three new campuses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that the university should move quickly to establish the School of Science and Engineering in La Jolla. He placed that proposal before the Regents of the University of California at a meeting in 1957 and it was approved. Revelle was named dean and given authority to begin recruiting faculty. At the last moment of the Regentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting, President Sproul announced that he did not believe the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;School of Science and Engineeringâ&#x20AC;? was appropriate and recommended that it be called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;University of California at La Jolla;â&#x20AC;? the Regents agreed. â&#x20AC;Ś At a Regents meeting in November of 1960, President Kerr recommended that the name of the campus be changed from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;University of California at La Jollaâ&#x20AC;? to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;University of California at San Diego,â&#x20AC;? and the name change was approved. The date of the Regentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; action was Nov. 18, 1960. In the early 1980s the decision was made to designate that date as the official â&#x20AC;&#x153;Founders Dayâ&#x20AC;? for UCSD.

Property owner Sally Whitney talks to firefighters after the blaze. WILL PARSON

Crews extinguish kitchen fire on Nautilus Street Police and a dozen firefighters responded to a blaze that was quickly extinguished in a one-bedroom, cottagestyle, single-family residence at 307 Nautilus St. in La Jolla Monday at 3:06 p.m., reported Lee Swanson, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman. “The fire was in the kitchen and it was of an unknown cause,” said Fire Department Capt. Bob Bilz at the scene. “We’re going to get our investigation team in.”

Bilz said there was some significant damage caused, though the fire was restricted to the kitchen. “I’d say there’s maybe $10,000 damage at least,” he said. “There was a small amount of fire in the kitchen when the first firefighter got inside. There was a little bit of water damage.” Bilz said four fire engines and two fire trucks responded initially to the blaze. — Dave Schwab

FROM BEACH, A1 Merryweather agreed, noting chronicling the beach entryways is a function that needs to be done and updated regularly. “I helped do beach access for our community plan many years ago,” she noted. “They need to be checked on to make sure they still exist and what shape they are in, so we can report back to the city if something needs to be done to them.” Merryweather said she and Beacham have been hopping in a car and “driving around like little mothers,” surveying paths to the beach and noting if they’re obstructed by anything like a tree or a house that’s been put in their way. Beacham and Merryweather recently clued the La Jolla Parks and Beaches Committee in on the progress of their walkabout. Committee member Bill Robbins asked whether it’s known whether the access

points are designated or not, noting “that’s a big problem, not knowing where to go for records to find out if they’re dedicated or not.” Beacham said they’re about halfway through their survey. She said the idea is merely to record the paths and evaluate their condition, not alter them in any way. “We’re just documenting what’s already there, not changing things or adding new access,” she said, adding she’s also photographing the points and putting all the information into a binder which can be made available for reference and use by local community groups. La Jolla beach access points can be located on the Community Plan and Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan at the website www.sandiego.gov/planning/ community/profiles/lajolla/plan.shtml.

By KAtHy DAy kday@lajollalight.com La Jolla’s Coastal Access and Parking Board account is whole again — after a roundabout series of events that culminated in settlement of a claim against Promote La Jolla and some of its current and former directors. Last week, Rick Wildman — on behalf of what remains of PLJ — received a check for $3,999.01 from First Republic Bank, resolving the last apparent issue surrounding the organization’s dispute with the bank over funds Rick Wildman that are to be used to assist with parking and traffic issues in La Jolla. When PLJ failed to pay $65,000 that was due on a line of credit used to fund a La Jolla marketing campaign, the bank took the money to cover the debt. It had been held in a certificate of deposit under Promote La Jolla’s name, meant for Coast Access expenses. There was $3,999.01 left after the debt

was covered. When Wildman received that check he returned it because he disputed the bank’s taking of the money. Joe LaCava, who heads the Coastal Access board,” explained that the group has “a narrow mission to improve the quality of parking” and create a shuttle system to bring people to the Village and the shoreline from “remote parking lots.” However, they have not come up with a financially viable solution to a shuttle system so that money is held in reserve in a city account. Joe LaCava It currently subsidizes parking for about 100 employees in the Village, using funds from developers that go into a special fund under a California Coastal Commission requirement that they must offset the impacts of their projects. The fund — now totaling about $440,00, according to LaCava — also previously provided reduced-cost bus passes to Village workers.

The $65,000 was embroiled in the city auditor’s report that Promote La Jolla had misused city funds as well as in a claim filed by the City Attorney. The claim was settled when PLJ’s insurance company agreed to cover the costs, which totaled $112,070. The city has since received the $65,000 and, now that the money issues are resolved, the parking board has held its first meeting in months and is gearing up to take another look at possible shuttle options. “It’s time to dust off the ideas and see if we can find different ways to come up with a remote parking solution,” LaCava said. At a meeting on Feb. 2, the group spent some time explaining its operations and mission to Phil Coller, president of the newly formed La Jolla Village Merchants Association. Assuming the group accomplishes its goal of becoming the city-approved operator of the La Jolla business improvement district, it is likely they will have appointees on the parking board to replace PLJ’s members.

One bloomin’ classroom at Bird Rock Elementary

ne fifth-grade class — which their teacher calls the b-8 Scholars — at bird Rock elementary School has a brighter entryway into their room these days thanks to a “random act of kindness.” a couple of weeks ago their teacher, Ginny LaRowe, arrived at school to find flower boxes hanging on the rail outside. She was greeted by flowerboxes and hanging plants installed by her husband Kirk and Mr. victor, the school’s custodian, working by flashlight before school started. cOuRteSy

FROM TREES, A1 “It would have been a fatal accident I’m sure if I was in the car or Cher (Battoe) had been in her car,” Clarke said. Carlyle wasn’t as lucky. She was standing beside her open car trunk when “branches were on my head … I knew something weird was happening.” Carlyle made a split-second decision “not to move.” “Thank God,” she said in retospect. “If I had moved to the right I would have been smooched by a big limb.” What all three women have in common is being eyewitnesses to what could have been a tragic accident on Feb. 2 at 8:45 a.m. They talked about that day last week. Another thing all three share, other than trauma and memory of the incident, is a sincere desire to ensure people don’t just forget about the event and move on. As shocking as it was personally, Battoe said the incident’s been even harder for another family member. “My 2 ½-year-old son was crying his eyes out again yesterday about the car,” she said. “He tells everybody, ‘Mommy’s car died — a tree killed it.’ ”

Christel Carlyle, Sara Clarke and Cher Battoe stand near a tree on Girard Avenue not far from one that crashed down on their cars. Dave Schwab

Clarke will always see trees differently. “I’m more conscious … I look at trees a lot now,” she said. “Every day I go to the store and I go, ‘Is that tree gonna fall, and if it falls which way will it hit the store?’ Parking spaces by a eucalyptus I don’t take.” “It’s like a miracle,” Carlyle said. “It’s just amazing no one was injured.” Drew Potocki, the city’s arborist, inspected the felled eucalyptus as well as another one close by which he proclaimed “perfectly healthy.” With the one that fell, he said it had “decomposed from the inside,” something not noticeable from the outside. Potocki said the city

does everything possible to keep its public rights-of-way safe. But added there’s only so much that can be done. “In an urban environment there’s inherent risk crossing the street,” he noted, adding signals and crosswalks are put in to minimize pedestrians being struck by vehicles, yet it happens daily. “We work with trees to minimize those risks too.” He said anyone noticing what they think are problem trees should call the hotline number (619) 527-7500. “Folks need to be aware of the need to report these things so we at the city are aware of them,” he said. “This is a wakeup call be-

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Physician in two worlds Dr. Nasrin Mani has the best of both worlds: As an eye doctor she helps the seriously ill, and at her La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic she helps healthy people look younger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three days a week I do eyes, and three days a week I do skin,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Nasrin said Mani, a Mani board-certified ophthalmologist of her cosmetic laser practice at 1111 Torrey Pines Road, Suite 102. Maniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s La Jolla cosmetic laser practice is cutting edge, using the latest techniques and technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we do are non-surgical aesthetic procedures for rejuvenation, basically reversing aging â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tightening skin, injecting filler,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are one of the top centers for doing thermage, radiofrequency skin tightening that we can use on all parts of the body. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won awards for that five years in a row: The only one in

Southern California.â&#x20AC;? In her practice, Mani uses Sculptra, a liquid facelift. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also do state-of-the-art resurfacing of the skin,â&#x20AC;? she said. Mani noted the fillers she uses to help make people look 10 years or more younger can be shortterm or last as long as 10 years. Mani shares medical office space with Jasmine McLeod, who has 24 years of experience treating a full range of medical skin conditions from rashes to treatment of cancers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She does the skin diseases and cancer screening, and I do all the aesthetics, the skin tightening and rejuvenation,â&#x20AC;? said Mani. Mani said she has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;naturalâ&#x20AC;? kind of cosmetic practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to reverse aging but very naturally without the need of plastic surgery,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Campus apartments immerse students in sustainability “Wind scoops” pull Pacific breezes into the energy-efficient rooms in UCSD’s newest student apartments, cooling them the old-fashioned way in buildings aligned to capitalize on wind and solar rays. Non-potable “recycled” water nourishes native outdoor plants through an efficient drip-irrigation system. The apartments’ plaster, paving, carpet and metal wall studs are made from recycled material, and the residents of the North Campus Housing Phase II project will bathe with water heated by sunlight instead of natural gas or electricity. The university’s newest oncampus dwelling will be home to 807 transfer students enrolling in the fall. “Who would have imagined a few years ago how stylish and cool an ultra-sustainable student apartment development could be?” said Mark Cunningham, executive director of UCSD Housing, Dining and Hospitality. “Our Village II apartments are not just an outgrowth of the campus’ well-known commitment to sustainable operations, but they also will immerse students in a personal lifestyle that’s environmentally sustainable, which they will

hopefully emulate the rest of their lives.” The 267,000 gross-square-foot, Village II project, adjacent to the similar-sized Village I apartments, has transformed the campus’s north entrance into a modern architectural statement. No State of California money was used in the project: external financing will be via UC-issued bonds to be repaid by student housing fees, and from UCSD Housing reserves. Gary C. Matthews, vice chancellor for Resource Management and Planning noted that “by living in such extreme-green apartments, eating in dining halls that use sustainable practices, and using mass transit and other transportation alternatives, students living in the Village II apartments will be contributing in a very significant way toward the campus’ goal of reducing its carbon footprint.” Even the construction of the project by Clark Design/Build of California was ultra-sustainable. The company, a subsidiary of Clark Construction Group, worked closely with the project architect and the university’s Facilities Design and Construction Department, taking such steps as

Bus caught on a curb A Metropolitan Transit Service bus headed north on La Jolla Boulevard on March 1 failed to negotiate a roundabout at Forward Street. The bus partially knocked over a crosswalk sign and got stuck in the median with its rear wheels dug into the curb. Witnesses said the driver apparently did not see a right-turn detour sign that had been set up, sending traffic onto La Jolla Hermosa Avenue during construction of a sewer line. The next morning a large truck suffered a similar fate before crews relocated the sign so that the detour began at Midway Street.

Wind scoops aid air flow into the student apartments. UCSD photo using recycled and regionally produced building materials and practices that helped the project garner sufficient green points for a LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Gold application with the U.S. Green Building Council. The project was designed by

Carrier Johnson + Culture. “The most advanced feature of the Village II project is the solar water-heating system, which is one of the largest, if not the largest, installation at a North American university,” said Ed Murray, president and CEO of Aztec Solar, which installed it.

Word to the wise: Don’t forget economic development our vieW When the new La Jolla Village Merchants Association held its first meeting a few weeks ago (their second one was on Wednesday), the board members were advised to put their focus on economic development before worrying about beautification and special events. We think that is sage advice. As they think about on hiring someone to help them

run the operation once they get the expected nod from the City Council to manage the La Jolla Business Improvement District, it would behoove them to find someone who understands the commercial and retail real estate markets. As Patrick Edwards, who has played a part in the growth of the North Park business community as a member of its business district, told the LJVMA board: You need to have a good mix

by glen rasmussen Community Volunteer, LJTC and BID Member The Light’s article last week quoting La Jolla Town Council and interim Business Improvement District Advisory Board (and former Promote La Jolla) President Rick Wildman challenging myself and Egon Kafka as not “legitimate” with respect to serving on the Streetscape Committee does not promote volunteerism nor cooperation between community groups, as should be one of his roles. I am sure many readers are turned off by the politics of volunteering in La Jolla and the last thing any volunteer needs is to be totally surprised to see his or her name in print challenging one’s vol-

unteer spirit. My wife read the article and was also shocked by its inferences and inaccuracy. Rick is incorrect: Unless unbeknownst to me my appointment was rescinded, I was appointed by each the LJTC, PLJ and the interim BID, and therefore still do “legitimately” serve on Streetscape as an LJTC appointee. If Rick is right that “the Town Council controls Streetscape” then it must still exist, despite PLJ’s demise. Because the interim BID has all but stopped functioning pending the newly forming BID, Streetscape has continued to meet through a group of concerned volunteers, headed by Egon because of his volunteer spirit, decorating for the holidays. Thank you, Egon. I think what Rick should have said was that PLJ breached the

Streetscape Agreement when it lost its BID contract. Streetscape still functioned through the Advisory Board, the LJTC and the City. The city, by operating the interim BID, kept it alive and looked to the Advisory Board and Streetscape for input on such things as the hanging baskets, tree trimming and the “Clean News” to try to inspire merchants and visitors to keep the Village clean. Many volunteers, including Egon, came to the Streetscape meetings. It will re-form when the new BID gets its contract. Maybe the LJTC will be a part of that. “Legitimacy” has no part of the equation when we are talking about volunteering to help keep our Village as beautiful as we can, despite all the challenges. We don’t need to create more difficulty.

Here’s other side on beach-access story your vieW Mr. Dicks is a trained attorney and as such is well aware of the importance of hearing both sides of a story. Thus, it is unfortunate that he, as president of the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA), at no time asked, or noticed, either me or my wife, to attend any LJSA meeting wherein the proposed, and controversial, beach-access easement across our property was discussed. Before going to the Coastal Commission meeting in Chula Vista, I would expect that Mr. Dicks took the time to read the Coastal Commission's staff report and the certified La Jolla Local Coastal Plan regarding the easement issue. If he did, then in writing his La Jolla Light

opinion piece he could not have misrepresented that the "... homeowner is attempting to convince city and state authorities to close the Princess Street public beach access, which sits adjacent to his home." The facts are, and the truth is, that the Coastal staff report, the certified Local Coastal Plan, our property’s title report, and both the County and the City of San Diego's records clearly reflect that at no time has there ever been a public-access easement anywhere on our property and that none presently exists. The fact is that the San Diego City Council reviewed this matter of the easement request in a public hearing and voted overwhelmingly against the request for

public access. The fact is that the certified LCP does not request a public easement but rather a restricted easement for Lifeguard emergency access only. To that end, we have repeatedly included an offer to grant an emergency easement in all of our applications to the Coastal Commission, but an emergencyonly easement is a far cry from the liability of having an open public easement running across our rear yard just a few feet from our kitchen and family-room windows. This purported easement is nothing more than an illusory path that I doubt that Mr. Dicks has never set foot on. Ure R. Kretowicz La JoLLa

Farmers market is good for everyone As a long-time resident of La Jolla, with children attending Bird Rock Elementary, I was quite excited to learn that a farmers market was coming to Bird Rock. … For years, La Jolla Elementary has had a monopoly on this revenuegenerating forum and now our school will reap similar benefits. Those against the market point out problems with parking on the streets, issues with the bike path, and so on. These issues are ever present and not new. Keeping in mind that the streets in front of our houses are public this is a limited intrusion for a short period of time with a positive outcome. If the market proves to be a nuisance, the city will not renew the limited use permit that it will surely issue in the first instance. Also, it is unlikely that the organizers, all of whom live in the neighborhood, will allow the market to be a nuisance. Let's all try to focus on the positive things … What a great place for friends to congregate on a Friday evening, enjoy each other's company, catch up, allow their kids to play and have fun and to purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables. Jason Meyer Bird rock

Freedoms are beginning to be taken away I read the article by Joe Parker regarding offleash dogs at one of Bird Rock’s dog parks. I am the fourth generation in my family to be born in San Diego and I have watched our freedoms diminish as our population grows. I love the diversity that new people bring, but I regret the forcible changes they bring with them. I am guessing that Mr. Joe Parker is not a native San Diegan, not sure how long he has lived in La Jolla, but this park and the bike path have been open and welcoming to off-leash dogs as long as I can remember. I agree that dogs should be well mannered and if they are not, then they should not be off leash. I am saddened by the fact that once again a freedom that we have all enjoyed for so many years may be taken away. Mr. Joe Parker I ask that you consider the desires of your neighbors rather than just your own. Jamaica Grace La JoLLa

New startup companies key drivers of innovation economy Community LeAder's View By Steve Hoey Senior Program Manager CONNECT San Diego is home to a thriving technology innovation economy of industry clusters that include life sciences (pharma/biotech/ medical devices), wireless communications, software, defense, cleantech and action and sport businesses. These companies are part of an ecosystem that includes larger, established innovation companies such as Qualcomm, SAIC, Pfizer, Kyocera and Cubic Corp.; more than 80 research organizations such as the Salk Institute, SanfordBurnham, SPAWAR SSC Pacific, UC San Diego and SDSU; and hundreds of small, startup and earlystage companies that drive research, development and commercialization of new technologies. These early-stage companies are a critical component at the heart of innovation economies like San Diego’s because they are key engines that drive

growth in terms of new technologies and their novel applications to the problems faced by society, industry and consumers. In addition, these early-stage innovation companies are a source of new jobs and attract money and talent to our region. In San Diego, a new tech startup is created almost every day. During 2010, almost 300 new technology and life sciences companies were started in San Diego County creating almost 1,000 new jobs. New data from the quarterly CONNECT Innovation Report, which tracks the health of the San Diego innovation economy, shows 84 tech startups were formed in the fourth quarter of 2010 and created almost 200 new jobs. These startups included 29 communications and computer electronics companies, 20 software companies, 15 life sciences companies, 11 recreational goods manufacturing companies, six defense and transportation companies and three environmental

technology (cleantech) companies. CONNECT, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and sustaining the growth of innovative technology and life science businesses in San Diego since 1985, has assisted in the formation and development of over 2,000 companies and is widely regarded as the world’s most successful regional program linking inventors and entrepreneurs with the resources they need for success. CONNECT focuses on research institution support, business creation and development, entrepreneurial learning, access to capital, public policy advocacy, awards, recognition and networking. Nearly 40 countries and regions have adopted the CONNECT model, including the U.K, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Australia, and China, and most recently New York City.

Herb would like to say a final goodbye to his dear friends at La Jolla Shores. An aerospace engineer beginning in the early 50s having worked on the first nuclear submarine project, missile and satellite navigation systems and early space travel testing, his retirement in 1986 brought a whole new life. Traveling the world through China, Tibet, India, the Middle East and elsewhere, he appreciated and loved the people and their basic goodness. Once the backpack became too heavy, he settled in San Diego and spent many an hour “talking to the seagulls” at La Jolla Shores – he chatted with lifeguards, tourists from different lands and loved the children and dogs playing on the beach. After heart surgery several years ago, the Shores facilitated his recovery – he established “water walking” as his favorite pastime using the resistance of the water to rebuild his leg strength. He is survived by his daughter, Diane Wagenbrenner of Encinitas. A Celebration of Life Ceremony will be held on March 26, 2011, at 2PM in the Chapel at First Unitarian Universalist Church on Front St. Please send any messages or memories you would like to share to dianesue@san.rr.com for inclusion in his legacy website.

Torreys capture another title The La Jolla Country Day girls basketball team did it again. The Torreys won their ninth Division IV title in the last 10 years. This time, they did once again against The Bishop's School. Despite surrendering an early lead, the Torreys (25-4 overall), topped their crosstown rival 79-50 in the title game. Both

teams now will advance to the state tournament and begin play today. LJCD will host the winner between Junipero Serra or Sierra (Tollhouse) while the Knights (17-11) will host either Valley Christian (Cerritos) or LACES (Los Angeles). Both schools received first-round byes for the state tournament.

Heading into the CIF Division IV playoffs, The Bishop's School's boys basketball team was a bit of an unknown. After all, the Knights were a team that didn't even have a winning record overall or in conference play. During the playoffs, however, the Knights were able to put their mediocre season behind them, topping Francis Parker 73-70 in the Division IV finals. The tournament run started as Bishop's got a semifinal win against La Jolla Country Day, a team they had lost to twice before in the regular season. The team got more revenge against Francis Parker, a team the Knights also lost to twice earlier in the season. Dominique Love (picThe Bishop's School's Dominique Love looks for a layup on tured left) led the Knights with 27 points in the win. Saturday during the Division IV final. BriTTany Comunale

La Jolla High School

Vikings secure CIF title By Johnny Zee Special to the Light Sophomore Karly Zlatic's sure-footed penalty kick clinched the CIF Division III soccer title for the La Jolla Vikings on Saturday night, but Zlatic and her teammates said the big story in this year's CIF showdown of the perennial rivalry with Cathedral Catholic was the stellar play of their goalkeeper Gabby Dubick. "It's a lot easier making a penalty kick than it is stopping one," Zlatic said, "and Gabby dove to block three good shots. She and our defense kept us in the game all night and then she goes and blocks three out of four penalty kicks. Wow! That's the reason we are able to celebrate right now ... we have an amazing keeper who brought her “A” game to the championship." Prompting repeated chants of "Gabby, Gabby, Gabby" from La Jolla fans who — braving the nighttime chill — went shirtless to paint "V-IK-I-N-G-S" across their chests, Dubick was forced to leave her feet again and again to fight off the high-powered Cathedral offense through a tense 80-minutes of regulation and nail-biting 15-minutes of overtime that ended in a 1-1 tie. In an harbinger of what to expect in the championship game, the teams' other two meetings this season both ended in ties. Cathedral Senior Kendall Kraus scored the game's initial goal midway through the first half on a perfect cross from Jamie Schnieders.

But just seconds later, La Jolla Senior Callan Parra took the ensuing kickoff, juked two defenders and launched a shot that found the goal just under the crossbar from 35 yards out. Kraus and Parra are expected to remain on opposite sides of the pitch in the Ivy League next year, with Kraus headed to Dartmouth and Parra to Penn. Cathedral Senior Elya Jasper initiated the penalty-kick tiebreaker with a chest-high missile destined for the left corner, but a completely horizontal Dubick was able to get just enough of her right hand’s outstretched fingertips on the ball to tip it inches wide of the net. She rose with a large smile and pointed toward midfield with a confident swagger that seemed to say, "Bring it on!" In her two other stops of Cathedral's well-placed penalty kicks, Dubick seemed prescient about where the ball was going. Parra and Itzel Caro both scored their penalty kicks for La Jolla before Zlatic nailed the door shut, prompting the

team to wildly mob their heroic goalie. “Gabby and our defense rose to the occasion tonight,” said La Jolla High coach Kristin Jones, a two-time college All-American at UCSD. “Gabby is an emotional player and once she got the first few saves under her belt she rode those emotions higher and higher. It was a battle out there with Cathedral bringing what their coach called one of their most complete games of the season. My hat is off to them and I appreciate the competition they bring us year after year.”

Vikings win regional first-round game On Monday, the Vikings beat San Dimas in the first round of the CIF regional, 1-0. La Jolla High got a first-half goal from Catlin Williams to advance in the regional tournament. Up next for the Vikings was a second-round matchup against Bishop Amat on Wednesday.

Fight for human rights keeps Emily Holland behind the camera Emily Holland is a TV producer, human rights law scholar, and co-author of “And Still Peace Did Not Come.” The book (due out March 22) is a memoir of a woman who spent her life gathering the stories of former child soldiers and Emily their victims — both Holland in her home country, Liberia, and in New York. It’s a record of Liberia’s descent into civil war and its subsequent healing. Following four years at ABC News (“Pzzrimetime Thursday,” “Good Morning America”) and producing for CNN (“Anderson Cooper 360” and “Paula Zahn Now”), Holland spent four years producing advocacy films about the International Rescue Committee’s efforts to assist refugees in Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Darfur. She worked on the Don Cheadle/Cathy Schulman documentary, “Darfur Now,” and reported on the post-genocide peace efforts in Rwanda with Tom Brokaw. She’s written about Somali pirate hunters for Glamour, the Darfur crisis for JANE Magazine, Ethiopian micro-finance entrepreneurs living on the Somali border for Women’s Adventure Magazine, post-genocide peace efforts in Rwanda and Iraqi refugee resettlement efforts for McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and the plight of a band of Iraqi heavy metal rocker refugees for the Princeton Alumni Weekly. She’s worked on the peace process in Cyprus, assisted child tracing and placing efforts in Rwanda, and researched the South Africa Truth & Reconciliation Commission. A magna cum laude graduate of Princeton University, Holland is pursuing her J.D. at Berkeley Law School, specializing in transitional justice and human rights. She also teaches street law to youth at a juvenile detention facility. What brought you to La Jolla? My dad’s job brought us to La Jolla when I

BY JENNA JAY lorencia Gomez Gerbi is both stylish and eco-conscious, attributes she hopes to pass along to the La Jolla community through her new collection of authentic Panama hats. The Argentinean entrepreneur is CEO and founder of Greenpacha, a local business with a focus on sustainability that sells balsa surfboards and, as of this spring, hats. Lots of them. In a small studio on La Jolla Boulevard, Gerbi and a core team of business-savvy young women, work amid an assortment of chapeaus, from classic Panama hats to head-turning wide-brim styles in various colors and patterns. Dozens of hats await new noggins to adorn, and will infiltrate boutiques in La Jolla with the launch of Greenpacha’s spring line of wholesale Panama hats. Gerbi’s Panama hats are handmade in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, in the hat-making community of Sigsig. The hats are 100 percent natural, and Greenpacha gives back 2 percent of all sales to the Ecuadorian community. The retail price per hat is about $70.

Panama hats are also known as Jipijapas, after a town in Ecuador, a center of the hat trade. PHOTOS COURTESY OF GOMEZ GERBI

Brothers from Boston serve American favorites at Iris By KeLLey CarLSon armel Valley’s Iris Food and Spirits reflects the roots of its owners Tommy and Edd Golden. The restaurant is named for their mother’s favorite flower, and the showy plant is the main focus of the decor. Pictures of the iris hang from the restaurant’s purple walls, and tiles with its image are seen behind the bar. The carpeted floor has a floral print pattern, and the species can be found blooming around the establishment’s exterior. Yet Iris Food and Spirits also has a bit of East Coast flair — the staff wears Boston team sports caps as part of their uniform in honor of the Golden brothers’ hometown. Described by Tommy Golden as “neighborhood-y,” Iris is a destination restaurant for many customers, but there are quite a

few regulars as well. “People will come in wearing shorts, T-shirts, flip-flops, and buy $150 bottles of wine; they feel comfortable,” Golden said. Diners have a choice of sitting in the main dining room, at the bar, or on the patio that offers views of the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon. The dining room and patio can each accommodate 45 people; the bar seats 10. Golden recommends reservations — especially in winter when the patio is covered but not enclosed and not open for seating if it rains. However, there are heaters for the occasional chilly evening. Dinner is served daily at Iris, with lunch during weekdays. Children receive their own special menu along with crayons and paper to pass the time. The grownups can order specialty cocktails

Co-owner/chef Tommy Golden says his favorite menu selection bears his name: Tommy’s Pork and Beans

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com, click ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Iris Cassoulet made with the establishment’s own syrups, such as the Iris Petal, which incorporates the actual plant. They may also choose from a number of wines or brews, many of which are discounted during happy hour, held from 4 to 6 p.m. weekdays. The restaurant’s menu is primarily American cuisine; the signature dish is Iris Cassoulet,

similar to the French Cassoulet except chicken is used instead of duck making it “lighter,” Golden said. His personal favorite menu item: his namesake, Tommy’s Pork and Beans. Local organics are used in dishes whenever possible, Golden added. Much of the greens come from San Marcos and Chino’s Vegetable Shop in Rancho Santa Fe, while shellfish are obtained from Carlsbad Aquafarm. Iris occasionally holds special events — the wine dinners and beer dinners are usually limited to 40 people and often have waiting lists. Tuesdays are Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB) Nights, where the corkage fee is waived for up to four bottles. The restaurant does limited catering in the area, mostly in Carmel Valley and Del Mar, Golden said.

Seasonal Vegetable Timballo is layered with herbed ricotta, crispy parmesan, raw tomato and basil salsa.

The message is it’s so easy to help, and at the same time you’re having fun, you’re protected from the sun and you’re looking good.” Greenpacha literally means “green times,” with “pacha” coming from the Aymara (Inca) word meaning time. Gerbi’s efforts to bring green times to La Jolla comes one hat at a time, with no limitations on

who can get involved in the hat-toting craze. “It’s not going to be divided by gender or age but by spirit,” Gerbi said of her clientele. “If you’re into the green movement or paying attention to what you’re buying as a consumer, probably you will buy this hat. We welcome people to be part of this.” South American countries have seen the Panama hat gain traction lately for its sunshielding practicality and the trend is picking up Stateside, as well. “The straw hat is becoming huge,” Gerbi said. Whether it’s a wide-brim hat used for a cover-up at

The hats come in styles for men, too. the beach or a short-brim hat accessorizing an outfit for nighttime style, Greenpacha is adapting to the trends in head-toppers, boasting styles for men, women and children alike. Plaid and colored fedoras adorn Greenpacha shelves alongside the classic Panama hat, and Gerbi has plans for further personalization. “Our idea in the near future is to launch an accessories line,” she said. “Our plan is to bring seeds and feathers and a lot of natural elements that can be put as accessories on hats.” Sustainability no longer must be a sacrifice to fash-

ion, and Gerbi and the Greenpacha team is testament to the fact. Greenpacha’s current focus is on hats, but the company’s sustainability efforts expand to surfing, one of Gerbi’s passions. Greenpacha sells balsa surfboards, which are lightweight wooden boards made from balsa wood found in Ecuador. For every balsa board Gerbi sells, she is committed to planting two balsa trees in the Amazon. “We are spiritual, but we also live in a material world, and we enjoy it and we celebrate it every day,” Gerbi said — with a hat for every occasion, of course.

Pageant dream is a win for family down on its luck in ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ at the Playhouse Left: Olive’s family riles about an upcoming road trip in the La Jolla Playhouse musical ‘Little Miss Sunshine.’ Craig SChwartz

Let’s Review

If you go ■ What: Premiere of the musical version of the 2007 film, ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ ■ When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays-Wednesdays 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays 2 p.m. Saturdays-Sundays 7 p.m. Sundays through March 27 ■ Where: La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre, UCSD Campus 2910 La Jolla Village Drive ■ Tickets: $44-100 ■ Contact: (858) 550-1010 ■ Website: www.lajollaplayhouse.org

By diana Saenger The adorable Georgi James plays Olive in the La Jolla Playhouse’s world premiere musical, “Little Miss Sunshine,” and nothing gets in her way of creating humor and inspiration as the precocious 10-year old who longs to win the title of Little Miss Sunshine in a Redondo Beach pageant. Though the ensemble cast is terrific at delivering their songs and staying true to their very peculiar characters, it’s James who upholds the show’s joie de vie as a simple little girl who sees beyond family strife to hang on to her dream. Since her family returned home to Albuquerque after she lost the chance to move forward in the Little Miss Sunshine competition, Olive has moved on to other hopes. But at a family dinner her father (Hunter Foster) reveals there’s a message on the phone about the competition: It seems that due to one girl becoming disqualified, Olive has another chance. Now everyone at the table must decide what’s next since Olive will need to be back in California almost immediately. Sheryl (Jennifer Laura Thompson), Olive’s mom, thinks about flying but decides they can’t afford that. Grandpa (Dick Latessa), who has been

Olive’s dance coach, insists he must go along. Sheryl has just brought her frenzied brother Frank (Malcolm Gets) home from the hospital after he slit his wrists. She promised the doctor she wouldn’t leave him alone. Finally, it’s decided that everyone will take the trip in Grandpa’s ailing VW bus. This highly upsets Olive’s brother Dwayne (Taylor Trensch). He’s taken a vow of silence for some 80 days, but he’s adamant about his displeasure over having to go along. Creating a musical from an Oscar-win-

ning screenplay (2007) is surely a challenge, but it fell into reliable hands with Tony and Pulitzer-winning director/writer James Lapine and his long-time collaborator William Finn, the composer/lyricist. I found some of the songs very peculiar (this is an odd family story that sticks closely to that of the film) but apropos, as today’s world is a far cry from “The Little House on the Prairie.” Still, with Frank trying to get over his gay partner deserting him, Grandpa singing ex-

plicit words to Dwayne to have lots of sex with girls and some profanity, I wouldn’t recommend this play for children, even though the pageant idea sounds fun. The stage set plays a character of sorts in the action and is well done. Scenic designer David Korins and lighting designer Ken Billington handled the difficulty of a drama that unfolds through a road trip with great creativity. The props, moving scenery and different sizes of the VW van with lighting and special effects, brings the story to visual life.

Journalists Steve and Cokie Roberts to discuss interfaith marriage at JCC

Leather goods needed for benefit to raise funds for pet medical care

Husband and wife, political analyst Steve Roberts and ABC co-anchor Cokie Roberts, will share strategies for a successful interfaith marriage at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 16 in the Garfield Theatre of the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla. Their talk is part of the 2011 Distinguished Author Series, presented by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture. A book signing will follow the discussion. In their new book, “Our Haggadah: Uniting Traditions for Interfaith Families,” the journalists chronicle their experiences as an interfaith couple and provide insight on the core values of togetherness, compromise, and love that unite partners across all religions. Steve and Cokie are the parents of two children and grandparents of six. They live in Bethesda, Maryland. Press materials for the book reveal that when Cokie and Steve met in college, they both believed their different traditions (she is Catholic, he is Jewish) would prevent them from ever getting married. Yet in 1966, they found themselves together in the garden of Cokies girlhood home, standing under a flower-covered chuppah. Almost 45 years later, they have learned not only to respect and reconcile the religious traditions they once thought might divide them, but to celebrate those traditions as well. “Over the years since our own wedding, lots of other Jewish-Christian couples have talked to us and some have asked our advice,”

The FACE Foundation is collecting new and gently pre-loved handbags, wallets and sunglasses for its upcoming silent auction, Bags & Baubles, to raise funds for pet medical care when owners can’t cover veterinary costs. In what is labeled “economic euthanasia,” beloved companions are either left to suffer or be euthanized when their owners cannot afford the often-unexpected cost of life-saving treatments. Tax-deductable donations “will be enthusiastically accepted” through April 15 by contacting Brooke Haggerty at (858) 450-3223 or brooke@face4pets.org. Fashion-loving women and girls will gather together at a Rancho Santa Fe estate on May 1 to bid on the array of designer handbags and other finery. Bags & Baubles hopes to offer at least 150 designer handbags to bidders. Established in 2006 by veterinarians and community members, The Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) is a not-for-profit 501c(3) charity, whose mission is to enhance and preserve the quality Got any old handbags to spare? of life of animals.

Steve and Cokie Roberts have been married for 45 years. COURTESY

If you go ■ What: Steve and Cokie Roberts discuss interfaith marriage ■ When: 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 16 ■ Where: Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla ■ Admission: $12-$14 at the door ■ Contact: (858) 362-1348 ■ Website: lfjcc.org writes Steve. “We’re careful to stress we have no formulas that work for everybody. But I do think we learned several things from that process, and one was inclusion. Every effort that makes people feel wanted or respected is worth doing.” Cokie Roberts, political commentator and co-anchor of ABC’s “This Week with

Sam Donaldson,” and senior news analyst for NPR, is the author of several books including her No. 1 New York Times bestseller, “We Are Our Mothers’ Daughters,” as well as “Ladies of Liberty “and “Founding Mothers. Joining forces with Steve, she has also co-written “From This Day Forward, an in-depth look at the institution of marriage. Together, Steve and Cokie write a weekly syndicated column and are also contributing editors to USA Weekend. Steve is the author of “From Every End of This Earth” and “My Fathers’ Houses.“ He has worked as a journalist for 40 years, and appears regularly as a political analyst on the ABC radio network and NPR. He has also taught politics and writing at George Washington University for the last 20 years; he often counsels young interfaith couples and has performed two weddings.

Market hosts month of special fun for foodies Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman Long gone are the days of the pedestrian supermarket experience when you’d troll the aisles scouting for lackluster staples and hunting down phantom sale items, shuffling through the store in a bored stupor before pushing your squealing cart to the check out counter, the most challenging query about to be posed to you, “Paper or plastic?” — the whole affair about as titillating as a senior Scrabble tournament. Today upscale markets practically wine and dine you at every department (who said there’s no such thing as a free lunch?) and seduce you with samples of Belgian chocolates, gluten-free cookies, power bars and organic skin care products, while providing health food lectures, book signings and back house tours. Whole Foods Market, the anchor store in the shops of La Jolla Village, is now offering a string of mouth-watering and inspiring events in-house. Here’s what’s on their shopping list for March. n Global Gastronomy This week kicks off the first in a series of sit-down dinners taking you on a gastronomic journey around the world, “using products sourced from emerging countries and suppliers,” said Chassie Bell, marketing supervisor. Proceeds from the dinner (6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 10, tickets $25) will benefit the Whole Planet Foundation, whose mission is to empower impoverished women in nations like Peru, Guatemala, Kenya and Haiti by giving them microcredit loans to dial-up their entrepreneurial spirit with regard to locally harvested products. The five-course global dinners will focus on Whole Trade products supplied by these inspired women. As an added bonus, the exotic dishes will be paired with wine. Cheers!

n The Big Cheese Join Jeff, the big cheese aficionado for a saporous jaunt through cheese land that will teach you the who, what, where, why and how of gourmet cheeses, 2 p.m. Saturday, March 12; tickets $5. Learn the differences between grass-fed cow, raw milk, goat, sheep and lactose-safe cheeses, and how to bring out the distinct flavors of each. A fruit and cheese sampling will follow. n Iron Chef Cook-Off Eat lunch and be a judge for this Iron Chef-esque competition as team members compete for culinary bragging rights during an in-store cook off from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 19. Tickets, $5, will benefit Whole Planet Foundation. Popular dishes from emerging countries will be prepared with whole trade, sourced products. Stuff your face silly, then cast your vote for your favorite department’s delicacies. n Meet Herbivore Superman Brendan Brazier, an ironman triathlete, is one of a handful of athletes fueled by a 100-percent plant-based diet. When he’s not riding the bike, swimming strokes and running cross country in training for the next triathlon (or recovering from one), Brazier is writing bestselling books, such as, “Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide,” and creating the award-winning line of whole food products called Vega. The latter includes smoothie blends, protein shakes, vitamins, minerals and maca root chocolate bars to boost energy, relieve stress, enhance libido and balance hormones, among other boons. Brazier will give an enlightening seminar on reducing nutritional stress with plant-based whole foods, followed by a book signing with goodies to take home, 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 22. n Beer Tasting Extravaganza Firestone Walker Brewery will pour samples from their limited-release brews, including Double Barrel Ale, Union Jack IPA, Velvet Merlin, Red Nectar and others. Sip, snack and take home a beer stein, on the house. 5-7 p.m. Friday, March 25. Tickets $10. Program spaces are limited. RSVP at (858) 642-6700 or LaJollaEvents@wholefoods.com

There’s help available for people who talk to produce Let Inga tell you ... It’s a phenomenon I call “Talking to the Tomatoes at Vons.” You’ve seen it yourself: A well-dressed La Jolla matron is poised over the tomato station in rapt conversation with the produce. Several possibilities immediately come to mind, none of which are mutually exclusive: 1. She is certifiably nuts. 2. Her conversational companion has fallen into the tomato display and is awaiting assistance by the next available associate. 3. There is a Bluetooth earpiece hidden by a perfectly coiffed blond head. The social dilemma of determining whether people are off their meds or just oblivious cell-phone users has been widely documented. But People Who Talk to Produce is a newer phenomenon.

Of course, People Who Talk To Produce often talk to canned goods, hard cheeses, and pasta sauces as well. Once you get going talking to food, it’s pretty hard to stop. I’m finding this an alarming development. Pretty soon it will need a DSM-III classification. Drugs will be used to treat it, including Paxil used off-label. Since Vons is pretty much the cradle of civilization in La Jolla, it’s pretty hard to go there and not encounter someone you know. More problematical is encountering someone you know who is not carrying on a conversation with an invisible someone else. There is a woman I see there frequently whose son grew up with mine. She walks toward me smiling brightly, gesturing with her hands. She appears to be waving. I push my cart in her direction, smiling and waving back. “Hi!” I exclaim as she approaches. She points at her ear, and keeps on walking. Minutes later I see her Communing with the Cauliflower. Obviously, Customers Who Commune with Cauliflower and Chat With Cantaloupes are a direct result of hands-free phones. Pushing a cart and holding a phone to your

The kumquats are pretty good about keeping secrets, but can the rest of the world be trusted? If I could figure out how to use the camera part of my phone, I could even include a photo of the speaker. Or a video clip. But I would probably have to worry about hearing from someone’s lawyer. Because even though the person said something in full earshot of a bin of Idahos, there is probably a law on the books protecting privileged communication between a person and a potato.

Ready, set, go! How to pick the right camp for your child You are considering a summer camp, but how to choose? There’s a camp that is ideally suited for every child, providing a summer of growth and fun whether your child attends a day or overnight camp, a specialized or traditional camp. With a little help from the camp professionals at the American Camp Association, here’s some sound advice that helps parents sort through the choices and benefits that camp delivers. As spring approaches, parents and children can look forward to planning for the future — a future that includes

the opportunities for exploration and discovery that arrives with summer camp.

When is your child ready?

Children are ready for new experiences at different stages. Parents know their children best and these questions can help gauge whether this is the summer your child will start camp. What is your child’s age? Children under age 7 may not adjust easily to being away from home. Consider the day

camp experience to prepare them for future overnight camp. How did your child become interested in camp? Does your child talk about camp on a sustained basis? How much persuasion is necessary from you? Has your child had positive overnight experiences away from home? Visiting relatives or friends? Were these separations easy or difficult? What does your child expect to do at camp? Learning about the camp experience ahead of time allows you to create posi-

tive expectations. Are you able to share consistent and positive messages about camp? Your confidence in a positive experience will be contagious.

A camp for every child

Camp can last for just a few days or stretch to all summer long. It’s well worth the trouble to investigate the variety of choices offered by camps before your child packs a backpack. These questions help you consider the options.

Near or far? Where to go?

Where do you want your child to go to camp? Locally or far away? While each camp experience has something unique to offer your child, this is an opportunity for families to assess what they value for their campers.

Benefits of camp nearby

Easier to evaluate and visit. Friends and family are likely familiar with camp. Minimal travel costs. Likely contact with classmates or children from same region.

Benefits of camp far away

Different experiences, different geography, e.g., mountains or oceans—even different languages. Promotes independence, particularly for early and late adolescent campers. Chance for family to visit and vacation at close of camp.

Session length offers choice

Camps offer widely varying options to help parents and children reach their goals for summer fun and exploration. Talking with your child about the goals you both share helps determine which choice is right for you. For more information about child development and the camp experience, please visit our family-dedicated website, www.CampParents.org or call 1-800-428-CAMP (2267).

Friendship is tested in ‘The Drawer Boy’ at North Coast Rep Let’s Review By diana Saenger A play about a theater student leaving Toronto to research farm life in the countryside may sound trivial, but the scenario becomes a harvest of fun in Michael Healey’s humorous, intriguing and well-acted script, “The Drawer Boy,” on stage through March 20 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCR). Miles (Kevin Koppman-Gue, “Into the Woods,” “The History Boys”) arrives in rural settings with expectations and a notebook. He knocks on the door of one farmhouse and meets Angus (Paul Hopper, “Richard III,” “Scoundrel”) a somewhat disheveled man who Miles later learns suffered a brain injury in World War II. Miles explains that he’s looking to become a farmhand in exchange for the experience he needs to finish a script he’s writing. Angus agrees to get his roommate/caretaker Morgan (Frank Corrado, “Madagascar,” “Oedipus”) on the case, but once he closes the door on Miles, Angus returns to what he always does best — make a ham sandwich. However, Morgan hears Angus talking to someone and so re-opens the door to listen to Miles’ curious offer. Always in need of

He also explains Angus’ delicate condition and lays down the do’s and don’ts to Miles about his dear friend. Much humor ensues, as Angus becomes the focus of attention. Everyday is a new day for him because he’s unable to process or recall the past and is locked into daily patterns — mainly making that ham sandwich. “The Drawer Boy” is lightly based on the experiences of some young actors who, in 1972, were sent to Canada to live with and

interview farmers. From their new associations came a script, “The Farm Show,” that was transformed for several mediums. David Ellenstein’s direction of “The Drawer Boy” is seamless, and all three actors excel in their portrayals of these quirky characters. Koppman-Gue as Miles has the effervescent of a young and unsteady youth who isn’t sure about his future, but willing to go to the distance to make good at what he’s doing. It’s the story-telling aspect of what Morgan tells him about his and Angus’ past, however, that makes Miles determined to change Angus’ life. Corrado is steady and unbending as Morgan. A man, seemingly with a chip on his shoulder, his actions lead the audience to think one thing while, in essence, it’s far from the truth. His realization that letting Miles into their home may be worse than a past transgression consumes his every move. Hopper steals the show with his sensational performance as Angus. Playing a character stuck in a rut would appear easy, but it’s those few moments in conversation with either Miles or Morgan, when Angus connects with a moment from his past and steals a trifle of happiness that makes this play profound. A good story and superb actors can only transport an audience with the proper backdrop. So thanks to the NCRT team — Marty Burnett (Scenery), Matt Novotny (Lighting), Valerie Henderson, (Costumes), Chris Luessmann (Sound/Projection) and Annie Bornhurst (Props and Set) — The Drawer Boy’s journey between truth and fiction becomes one well worth taking.

By Diana Saenger Post apartheid South Africa may seem far away from here, but the tale that unravels in “Groundswell,” which is set there, is one many Old Globe audience members may relate too quite easily. Written by Ian Bruce and director by Kyle Donnelly, the thriller follows three men who traverse a tightrope of greed and desperation in a chaotic scheme. The cast includes Anthony Hagopian (Johan), Mfundo Morrison (Thami), and Ned Schmidtke as Smith. Before rehearsals got underway, the trio was presented with background material to reacquaint them with the history, said Schmidtke who plays an investment banker. Schmidtke said the play’s setting is the far west coast of South Africa near the Namibia border where the area has been left dredged and desolate by diamond mine conglomerates. “This is a contemporary play, kind of like (Jean-Paul) Sartre’s ‘No Exit,’ ” Schmidtke said. “In ‘Groundswell,’ you can’t change a society or erase the scars that a

Mfundo Morrison, ned Schmidtke and antony Hagopian star in ian Bruce’s ‘groundswell’ at the Old globe. J. Katarzyna WoronoWicz

society or culture has inflicted upon people’s souls; and by decree it takes a long time to heal as we know in this country as well.” Schmidtke worked with director Donnelly (“The Constant Wife,” “Dancing at Lughnasa”) years ago and has performed at the Globe in the productions of “The Pleasure of His Company,” “Sea of Tranquility,” “A Body of Water, “Blue/Orange” and “Pericles.” He has also starred in many television and film roles. “I’m thrilled to return to

Globe, it’s like coming home,” Schmidtke said. “The people here — past and present — are wonderful to work with, and so is

Kyle. She’s smart, suggests rather than demands, asks questions of the actors that lead to discoveries, and is an acting teacher who trusts her actors and wants them to follow their instincts and then shapes them.” Schmidtke knows what it takes to bring a play to the stage. He earned a B.A. in speech and theatre arts at Beloit College in Wisconsin, and received his Masters in directing at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg where he went on to be a stage manager and director at the Pittsburg Playhouse for five years. Schmidtke said he totally understands the conflict in “Groundswell.” “These are

three guys with shifting alliances and all with considerable need and the energy to suave that need,” he said. “They are literally locked-in together in this remote area because of the fog and left to thrash it out.” With a haunting background and back-story, the psychological drama feels perfect for the intimate Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre.“It all happens in an emotionally charged and dangerous environment,” Schmidtke said. “And the characters are hewn out of a culture we know about from a distance in the news – but these are living breathing corporeal people that bring the news to life.”

¡Buenas Películas!

San Diego Latino Film Festival to feature 195 offerings By Steven Mihailovich Organizers of the 18th annual San Diego Latino Film Festival are expecting to break a record this year by drawing more than 20,000 attendees to the 11-day celebration of Latino culture that begins on March 10. Showing on four screens at the UltraStar Cinemas at Hazard Center in Mission Valley, the festival will present 195 films, including 56 feature-length motion pictures, of the highest artistic as well as entertainment merit from Latino filmmakers in the U.S., Spain and across Latin America. The film festival is more than just movies, however. With an art show and large parties that include food, drink, music and dancing, the festival will offer total immersion into the Latino culture. Festival organizers believe that just a glance at headlines that include booming isaac artenstein economies in Brazil and Chile, as well as drug wars in Mexico and Columbia, can generate interest in an event highlighting films and culture from one of the most dynamic regions in the world today. “If you see a movie from that area, it gives you a wide view of what’s going on there,” said Lisa Franek of the Media Arts Center San Diego, which throws the festival. “Art is a reflection of culture. You don’t have to be from that culture or speak Spanish to appreciate the films and enjoy the good times.” All films are either in English or subtitled in English, she added.

Graphic designer Matt Bonner of london won the film festival poster contest with this entry. With almost 200 films on the roster, presentations run the gamut from featurelength narratives like those at any cinema to documentaries, animation and shorts. At least 12 films will be shown on any given day, Franek said. The festival is divided into showcases focusing on a particular country or theme that runs through a number of films over the course of the festival. This year’s five showcases are Brazilian Cinema; Jewish Latino Cinema; Cine Gay, which highlights films from and/or about the Latino LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transsexual) community; Documania, featuring documentaries; and Family Showcase. “If it’s part of the Para la Familija Show-

Festival Highlights ■ March 10 (opening night): “Go For It.” The film stars Aimee Garcia, a regular on “The George Lopez Show.” ■ March 11: “Sowing the Seeds of Justice.” Documentary on the life of Cruz Reynoso, the first Hispanic American justice on California Supreme Court.

case, it’s most definitely fine for the family,” Franek said. “If not, it’s possibly inappropriate for younger viewers. The best thing is to ask the volunteers at the festival. We’ve seen most of the films and can direct any filmgoer.” The San Diego Latino Film Festival website also provides synopsizes of each film that can help guide parents, Franek added. Aside from films produced in motion picture meccas such as Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and the U.S., Franek noted that this year’s festival includes films from smaller countries that don’t make many, such as Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama. “We try to program those films that people want to see but can’t see anywhere else,” Franek said. “Most are not going to the Landmark (art cinema) after this. Whether you just want to be entertained or see something that makes you think or get information from a documentary, there’s something for everyone.” Isaac Artenstein is a local filmmaker whose credits as director and/or producer include “A Day without a Mexican,” “Love Always,” and “Break of Dawn.” He also teaches film at UCSD. Artenstein will be showing his latest film “Imagining Tijuana,” an hour-long documentary that incorporates the latest techniques to tell the stories of renowned figures from Tijuana’s Walk of Fame. As a filmmaker, he said the festival is a superb venue because it draws an audience already keen on the content and style. “You get to gauge the audience reaction during the screening,” Artenstein said. “You might see that they’re missing things that you think are clear.” Artenstein is equally a fan of the festival as a filmgoer because it offers a chance to speak to the filmmaker and get insight during the Q&A sessions after the screenings. “The diversity of films they bring is really

■ March 16: “Cartas a Elena.” The film stars Xavier Lopez, aka Chabel, the “Captain Kangaroo” of Mexico, who has starred in the country’s most popular children’s show for more than 40 years. ■ March 19: Isaac Artenstein, professor of film at UCSD will show his latest documentary “Imagining Tijuana.” His festival faves are: “En los Passos de Abraham” (In the Steps of Abraham) (Mexico) screening March 13 and “Anita” (Argentina) screening March 16 and 20. ■ March 20: “Runway.” The film stars Demian Bichir, who played Fidel Castro in the movie “Che” and

Free parking. ■ Tickets: $10-$8 single screenings; multiple-film packages available, including VIP seating ■ Media Arts Center: (619) 230-1938 ■ Film schedule: sdlatinofilm.com first class,” Artenstein said. “If you want to keep up with Latin America, this is the place to go. (The festival) really broadens the perspective of people. And you get it in the full 35mm movie experience, hot buttered popcorn and all.” Proceeds from the festival benefit the Media Arts Center San Diego, which furnishes media skills and equipment to people from “8 to 80” years old through its various programs. Franek said the festival has gradually built a loyal following in the community because of the organization’s own commitment to the community. By enjoying a film at the festival, patrons are potentially contributing to the production of films they will enjoy in the future, she added. “You can feel good that when you’re spending $10 at the festival, it’s not going to a (guy in a) suit who doesn’t need it,” Franek said. “It’s going to a kid who’s learning to work with media.”

Prudential’s market data signals time for buyers to act The belief in the economic recovery among those in leadership positions has had a substantial impact on consumer confidence, as reported in Prudential California Realty’s March 2011 real estate report. An analysis of data from a variety of reliable sources, the report indicates that a gradual recovery in the national economy will lead to a stronger housing market by years end. Confidence among the CEOs of large companies has increased, according to the Vistage CEO Confidence Index Survey. For the first time in three years, CEOs expressed intent to hire more employees in 2011 instead of reducing their workforce. Even though inventory levels for homes in California in conforming loan ranges are at their scarcest in years, the amount of distressed properties that will continue to hit the market will keep prices in check.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 10, 2011 - Page B27

To sell your home faster... use these proven strategies: 1 2 2 3 3

To get the best asking price, pull the “best comps.” Realize your potential buyer is local...78% of the buying pool either live in La Jolla or in an adjacent town—so market locally. 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 La Jolla Light real estate section... For prices of homes that sold yesterday, go to La Jolla 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 neighborhoods 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.
