Jaywalkers Beware!

n Police step up pedestrian citations in hope of saving lives Meet La Jolla High Principal Dana Shelburne, A4

By Ashley Mackin an Diego Police Department (SDPD) launched the first of what will be many “unannounced” single-day Pedestrian Education and Enforcement Projects (PEEP) on March 7, in response to an increase in pedestrian-and-vehicle accidents. During the PEEP detail, officers said they kept an eye out for distracted pedestrians and drivers — those looking down at a cell phone,

iPod or other handheld device. Officers issued a total of 328 citations involving pedestrians that day — 12 involved bicycles, 30 involved vehicles — and issued 81 warnings to pedestrians. Police did not break down the ticketing by area, so it’s unknown how many were written in La Jolla. “Over the last couple of years, we have seen an unprecedented rise in pedestrian-related accidents within the city of San Diego,” said

Assistant Lieutenant and Chief of Special Operations for SDPD Lawrence McKinney. “Many of these accidents (resulted) in fatalities. Through our research, we’ve found that many of these accidents are as a result of pedestrian violations. In order to address that, our traffic division has enacted the plan that went into effect this morning.”

By Pat Sherman The City of San Diego’s Historical Resources Board will decide whether to add the Wall Street post office to its list of local historic places at its April 25 hearing. The city confirmed receipt of a roughly $1,200 fee submitted by USPS this week, which is required to consider a site for inclusion on San Diego’s historic register. In January, the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force was successful in its attempt to have the National Park Service add the Wall Street post office to its National Register of Historic Places, affording the building another layer of protection. It has been more than a year since the cash-strapped USPS announced plans to sell the Wall Street post office and relocate its services to a smaller, rented facility within a one-mile radius. A USPS representative assured the La Jolla Light last See Post Office, A14

Belvedere Promenade receives required property owners buy-in By Pat Sherman A cornerstone Village revitalization project first proposed more than two decades ago has inched one step closer to fruition — receiving the necessary approval of all 10 Prospect Street property owners immediately adjacent the project site. The revived Belvedere Promenade project would replace an existing one-way section of Prospect Street between Herschel and Girard avenues with a pedestrian promenade where people could enjoy outdoor dining and gaze out over the ocean and

Ellen Browning Scripps Park. The multi-million dollar project, conceived by La Jolla architect Jim Alcorn, became an official component of the La Jolla Community Plan in 2004, though the question of how to fund it has largely kept it from moving forward. Alcorn was successful in renewing interest in the project last year, garnering unanimous approval of his latest concept from the La Jolla Community Planning Association,

La Jolla Light to present two-part series about seals

Kudos to Jane Wheeler

a Jolla High School parent and artist Jane Wheeler created an inspirational bench, placed outside the school’s office, to commemorate its nine decades. The inscription reads: “90 Years On Nautilus,” and includes fused-glass tiles made by patrons of the Day of the Arts fair held in April 2012. Clay tiles inspired by LJHS educational values and the seaside environment are incorporated into the design. — Ashley Mackin

n Have any questions about the seals?

n the interest of public (and tourist) service, the La Jolla Light is working on a story of legendary proportion that will answer all the questions we get about the seals (especially, the pinnipeds at the Children’s Pool.) We’re going to the top of the naturalists chain for these answers, interviewing the marine biologists at the National Marine Fisheries Service and the folks at SeaWorld are serving on standby.

The piece is shaping up nicely thanks to the questions readers have sent us. If you’ve been wondering about any seal

stuff, please take a minute to e-mail your questions to ashleym@lajollalight.com or leave a message at (858) 875-5957 by March 20.

Meet Dana Shelburne La Jolla High principal is proud of school’s landscape, autonomy gains EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the 10th of a 13-part series bringing you interviews with principals of the schools in La Jolla every other week. You can watch a video portion of the interview online at lajollalight.com — just click on “The Principal’s Office” image on our homepage.

By Catherine Ivey Lee rincipal Dana Shelburne remembers his first visit to La Jolla High School some 30 years ago. He was an English teacher at a high school in Mission Valley when he came to the campus for a track meet. He had the idea that a high school in La Jolla “ought to be a pretty nice place,” he recalled. That wasn’t what he found, he said. “You came down the hill and what you saw were a bunch of rickety-old bungalows and a hodgepodge of architecture” and parking lots of busted asphalt, he said with a laugh.

“I thought, ‘What a dump!’” It’s little surprise then that as he looks back on his 18 years as La Jolla High’s principal, Shelburne believes part of his legacy will be his role in improving the school’s campus, including getting rid of the old bungalows and making way

for the Coggan Family Aquatics Complex. “I’ve had a hand in changing the look of the school very much for the better, I believe,” said the 61-year-old Shelburne, who plans to retire in the next six years. It’s also little surprise that after spending more than

half of his many decades as a teacher and administrator at La Jolla High, Shelburne is especially fond of the school, which serves 1,550 students in grades 9-12. “I love the place; I love the community support and the kids. I couldn’t ask for a better job,” he said.

After graduating in the mid-1970s with a degree in English from University of Southern California, Shelburne took a while to discover his calling in high school education. The San Diego native believed he’d become a college professor one day but, in no rush, he

worked in Antarctica, earned a second bachelor’s degree and toiled as a gardener and bartender at a yacht club. Then a friend encouraged him to apply to teach at the high school where he worked. Shelburne did, drawn in by the promise of “real money” — an $8,000 annual salary — and was hired to teach English at the University of San Diego High School, now Cathedral Catholic High School. “It turned out that I loved it,” Shelburne said. “I loved the interplay with the students. They were actually able to hold the kind of conversations I was thinking I was going to find only in the college setting.” Shelburne taught for 15 years before shifting to administration. He became La Jolla’s principal after working as both a teacher and a vice principal at the school. Today, the self-described

From Principal, A4 “nerd” and English buff (Shelburne’s office houses a collection of old and rare books), says he loves watching the evolution of teens during high school. “From the time they enter as ninth-graders and leave as seniors, they are in this growth pattern that is marvelous to behold,” said Shelburne, whose collegeage sons both attended La Jolla High. He credits the school’s diverse makeup with adding to the experience at La Jolla High. About 45 percent of students come from outside La Jolla, and students learn how to get along with others, he said. “If you go to a school that is all one sort, that’s not what you’re going to meet when you get out in the real world and you have to learn to how to be comfortable around people of different walks, different looks, different accents,” he said. Shelburne called the state’s fiscal “crisis” the biggest challenge in education today. “We are currently in about the seventh year of a fiscal downturn and Prop. 30 is not going to provide enough to save that crisis from still having its impact,” he said, adding that he works hard to protect critical student classes and programs from being affected. “Students are still receiving a top-flight education.” Despite the tough fiscal climate, Shelburne has overseen numerous improvements to the school. He raised money for a synthetic football field, making the high school the first in Southern California to install one. He also initiated construction of an Olympic-sized swimming pool and aquatics center, then raised funds to replace the aging bungalows that were displaced at the pool site with a two-story math and

Other improvements included adding a synthetic softball field and giving the girls’ locker room a makeover, he said. Shelburne and his staff also negotiated a unique “autonomy agreement” with the San Diego Unified School District in 2000, becoming the first school to secure the right to determine which courses to teach and when, as well as what textbooks to buy. The school must meet certain academic benchmarks to keep the agreement in place. “That really was a heady decision back then. When you say we would like to chart our own course, you are wholly responsible for the results of charting that course. When you are doing what the district tells you, you can point and say, ‘It’s

not our fault. That’s a bad plan.’ By taking it on as our own personal challenge, we did accept that responsibility,” he said. Talkative, cheerful and colorful by nature, Shelburne said he prefers to lead through “the power of personality” rather than the “power of the office,” and to talk through issues to reach consensus with others as much as possible. But he acknowledges that his decisions have not always been controversy-free. “I don’t know that there is anything you can ever do that’s going to please everybody,” he said. “Somebody’s always going to be upset.” n Up Next: Meet Aimeclaire Roche, head of The Bishop’s School, in the March 28 issue.

Peters reintroduces bill to save La Jolla’s Wall Street post office By Pat Sherman Congressman and La Jolla resident Scott Peters (D-52) reintroduced the Community Post Office Relocation Act with Congresswoman Susan Davis (D53) on March 7. The bill is a slightly updated version of legislation introduced by Davis during the previous Congress that gives communities across the country the right of first refusal to purchase post office buildings that are subject to closure. “We’re changing some of the timelines to make it a lot easier to execute,” Peters told the La Jolla Light last week. “It’s pretty similar.” Meanwhile, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is continuing to reduce its services and sell off its assets — including the proposed sale of La Jolla’s Wall Street post office — due to a decline in revenue and ramifications of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act. That law, passed by Congress in 2006, requires USPS to prefund its future Retiree Health Care Benefit Fund for 75 years, within a 10year span. USPS, which last fall reached its $15 billion debt limit and is barred from borrowing more money, has already defaulted on those payments. Should La Jolla’s post office be sold,

SAVE THE POST OFFICE UPDATE Peters’ legislation will allow a nonprofit community organization, such as the La Jolla Historical Society, the right of first refusal to purchase the post office building at fair market value. If La Jolla’s post office and its services cannot be preserved as they are on Wall Street, the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force has a plan to have a community nonprofit purchase the Wall Street building, and lease a portion of it back to USPS to keep postal services in place. (USPS has said the building is too large and impractical for its current usage.) Peters weighs in on pre-funding of USPS retirement benefits As more people push Congress to repeal the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, or at least modify the law to remove the retiree healthcare pre-funding mandate, Peters said he is instead considering measures that give USPS the ability to be more competitive with package delivery services such as United Parcel Service (UPS) and FedEx.

Peters told the Light he is cautiously considering whether he will support the Postal Service Protection Act of 2013 (HR 630), which would eliminate the requirement that USPS pre-fund its retiree health benefit fund, place restrictions on the closure of postal facilities, and create incentives for innovation within USPS (including the formation of a “chief innovation officer”). While Peters said he supports the portion of HR 630 that would allow USPS to ship beer and wine (as UPS and FedEx already do), and establish an innovation officer to “help USPS be more competitive with ways to generate more revenue,” he was less enthusiastic about rescinding the prefunding of retiree health benefits. “While the current formula puts too great of a burden on USPS, we should not eliminate the plan entirely, rather adjust the formula,” Peters told the Light, via e-mail. “It is important that we make sure retiree health benefits for the hardworking men and women at USPS are adequately funded now and into the future.” Last month, Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe announced his decision to end Saturday mail delivery, starting in August.

Judge denies request to shorten rope barrier at Children’s Pool By Pat Sherman A superior court judge has denied a request to shorten the seal guideline rope at La Jolla Children’s Pool (aka Casa Beach) via a temporary restraining order (TRO). The lawsuit to obtain the TRO was filed last month by the Friends of the Children’s Pool (FoCP) organization. The beach access advocates claim Mayor Bob Filner violated “lawful land use planning procedures” when he ordered city staff to reduce the opening in the guideline rope from about 25 feet to three feet, without first issuing a public notice of his intent to do so. The yellow nylon rope spanning the beach is up during the seals’ pupping season, Dec. 15 through May 15, and is intended to serve as a visual deterrent from people coming too close to pregnant seals and their pups. Disagreement over how wide the gap should be remains a point of contention between seal advocates and beach access proponents. Though the rope was initially intended to be 152 feet long — with a threefoot opening for swimmers, divers and spear fishermen to access the shoreline — in 2010 city staff mistakenly approved coastal development and site development permits for a 130-foot rope barrier, which resulted in an opening of more than 20 feet. Filner ordered city staff to extend the rope shortly after taking office in December, later amending existing permits to reflect the new three-foot gap. Environmental law attorney Bryan Pease, who attended the FoCP’s March 7 hearing, told Judge Joel Pressman that his existing lawsuit to enforce the city council’s May 2010 resolution supporting a year-round guideline rope with a three-foot opening would render the FoCP’s lawsuit moot. The city’s planning commission has twice denied a site development permit for the year-round rope. Pease successfully overturned the commission’s first denial of a year-round rope. In July of last year, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) approved a permit for the year-round rope, though the planning commission denied it again in September when it came before them a second time. Pease argues that the San Diego City Council and CCC are both above the planning commission in the city’s land use hierarchy. During last week’s hearing, Deputy City Attorney George Schaeffer agreed on this point, noting that City Attorney Jan Goldsmith recently issued a concession of error stating that the planning commission erred by not issuing a site development permit for a year-round rope barrier, based on the evidence before it. “The planning commission is not a separate legal entity; it’s created under our land-use code — and there’s a priority under the land use code, with the city council being the highest decision maker … and the planning commission being in the middle,” Schaeffer said. Representing FoCP, attorney Bernie King said the city attorney has a responsibility to protect public trust lands such as the Children’s Pool. “There’s case law … that allows a member of the public (such as FoCP) to intervene to enforce rights on behalf of the public trust,”

The takeaway ■ North San Diego Superior Court Judge Joel Pressman scheduled a preliminary injunction on the case for 12:30 p.m. Friday, April 12, urging both sides to consider ‘coordinating or consolidating’ Judge Joel their suits. Pressman he said. King produced a photo of the three-foot gap taken from the top of the steps leading down to the beach, which he said makes it appear as if it is completely roped off (though Judge Pressman said he could clearly see a “little gap” in the rope from the photo). King argued that, without fully understanding the issues, the average citizen “understands (the shorter gap) as a prohibition to beach access. “If you are a Friend of the Children’s Pool (member) and you know the law and you’re well-acquainted with it, you’re not going to be deterred,” King said. “But even the opponents of the Friends of the Children’s Pool concede that the extended rope barrier is denying access and is keeping the public away from the coast.” King cited a La Jolla Light article in which La Jolla Friends of the Seals member, Jane Reldan is quoted as saying, “visitors are not confused and now automatically stay behind the rope.” Deputy City Attorney Schaeffer argued that how the public perceives the guideline rope is speculative. “The city has a responsibility to try to, legally, comport with federal law, in this case the Marine Mammal Protection Act, in terms of not encouraging people to inadvertently violate that law, and harass the seals,” Schaeffer said. “There has been no injury to this organization (FoCP), which is not even a person, by this guideline rope.” King told Pressman that by extending the rope without public notice the city and Mayor Filner “acted in defiance” of City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, who in a Dec. 24 memo opined that the city could be subject to litigation and legal fees by not following proper land-use procedure. “I understand the council’s concern about the Marine Mammal Protection Act,” King said. “We’re not saying take the rope down. We’re just saying put the rope back to the length it was and is in the only approved permit for that.” Noting “a great deal of ambiguity” surrounding the issue, Pressman said he believed it prudent to keep the three-foot gap in place “until we have a full hearing of all the issues,” and denied the TRO to reduce the rope length, without prejudice. Pressman scheduled a preliminary injunction on the case for 12:30 p.m. April 12, and urged both sides to consider “coordinating or consolidating” their suits during an ex parte hearing this week.

FROM Jaywalkers, A1 Police report that in 2011, there were 14 fatal incidences involving pedestrians. In 2012, there were 20. Two of the 2012 fatal accidents were in La Jolla; one on Aug. 25 on Torrey Pines Road, the other on Oct. 13 on La Jolla Village Drive. In both of these accidents, the pedestrian was deemed at fault. Lieutenant Steve Hutchinson confirmed a more recent spike, revealing that from January to February 2013 alone, there were 13 pedestrian-and-vehicle accidents. In 10 of them, the pedestrian was found to be at fault; six of those 13 accidents were fatalities and in five of those six, the pedestrian was at fault. Of the fatal accidents, none occurred in La Jolla. In the next PEEP, Hutchinson said citations would be issued for basic pedestrian violations, because “A $100 ticket will send a message. You’ll think about it later on.” As to who would get a warning versus who would get a citation and fine, Lt. Hutchinson said it would be

up to the officer’s discretion. The two most egregious violations reported were the two most common: jaywalking and walking across a red light (see info box). Hutchinson said people believe the pedestrian always has the right of way, but this is not true. “The pedestrian does not always have the right of way,” he said. “That is a misnomer that we hear all the time. You (jaywalk) and you get hit, you are at fault. In any of these collisions, even though the pedestrian may not be at fault, they get hit by a car, they lose.”

Pedestrian Violations T he two most common infractions committed by pedestrians: jaywalking and crossing on a red light. The fine for each is about $100. ■ Jaywalking: Walking in between two controlled intersections — an intersection controlled by traffic lights or signage. (That can include walking across the middle of the street between two intersections.) ■ Crossing on a red light: Entering a crosswalk when the crossing indicator is a solid, non-flashing red hand. (Entering a crosswalk when the hand is flashing is OK.) “A lot of pedestrians look around, see no cars (and they think), ‘OK, I’m in a hurry, I’ve got places to go’ and they go. But it is illegal.” — Lt. Steve Hutchinson The latest hit-and-run One such pedestrian vs.

vehicle incident happened on Feb. 6 in La Jolla. A

51-year-old victim was crossing La Jolla Boulevard at Westbourne Street about 6:20 p.m. when a dark vehicle struck him, said San Diego police. The driver of the vehicle didn’t stop and fled the scene. Police are working to identify the driver. The vehicle was described as a dark gray SUV, similar to a Toyota 4Runner, possibly a 1998 to 2002 model. The license plate possibly began with 5D and had a G or 6 as the third item. The vehicle may have damage to the front right headlight. Police are also hoping to

speak with a woman in a red Range Rover who chased after the suspect vehicle after the crash. She never reported back to police, and investigators would like to interview her for details. Anyone with information can call traffic detectives at (858) 495-7800 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. Tipsters may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. n Up next: The corollary to this report is a story on what motorists need to know when pedestrian are in the picture.

Community Center hosts disaster preparedness class By Ashley Mackin The La Jolla Community Center hosted a disaster and emergency preparedness class on Feb. 19 to showcase some of the resources available during an emergency situation. La Jollans Naomi Broering and Greg Chauncey explained a few websites under the National Institute of Health umbrella that offer up-to-date health information, interactive tutorials, a page for applications to download to a cell phone or tablet, disaster preparation and emergency response tools. Broering also presented an overview of what to do in case of various emergencies. The website Chauncey recommends for up-to-date health information is MedLinePlus.gov because it is updated and peer-reviewed regularly. “If you check WebMD (.com) or some other things, look at the bottom and see when it was last reviewed,” he said. “(On WebMD) I found some that were reviewed in 2005. So if nothing happened in seven years, stick with WebMD, if you want something current, go to MedLine Plus.” The MedLine Plus site also has interactive tutorials on how to treat burns at different stages, and fractures and sprains, and other injuries. Another useful resource is

A screenshot of one of the downloadable apps found through the National Institute of Health. disaster.nlm.nih.gov that has a page for emergency apps to download. For example, The American Red Cross has a step-by-step app with instructions on how to perform CPR, based on individual situations. This app costs $1.99. The National Library of Medicine also has a reUnite app, which allows people to upload missing and found person information for family reunification during

and after disasters. It provides structured information to the National Library of Medicine’s People Locator service. The PTSD Coach app offers information about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including educational resources, information about professional care, a self-assessment tool, opportunities to find support and tools to help manage the stresses of daily life with PTSD, which

can occur after a disaster. These are just a few of the dozens of apps available on the site. Also found on the site are pages with preparation tips for emergencies, including fire, geological emergencies (earthquakes and tsunamis), chemical emergencies and bioterrorism. For each of these, the site also lists emergency response tools. Broering next offered what-to-do’s in different emergencies:

n In an earthquake: “Just hold on, grab a column or a frame, grab a hold of something stable,” she said. n What if you are in a situation where someone starts shooting a gun? “Hit the deck and pretend you died,” she said, adding, only move when the dust settles. n In a blackout, like the one San Diego experienced last year, she suggests always having gas in your car and a manual way to get in and

out of the garage. Keep an emergency tote bag near the door or in the car. Based on a FEMA list, Broering assembled a condensed checklist of what to have in that tote bag. To keep costs down, she suggested going to the 99-cents store for many of the items. Visit lajollalight.com to print out the checklist of items to fill an emergency tote bag.

Research Report By LynnE Friedmann

t has been five days since the switch to Daylight Saving Time. Feel fatigued? Feeling a bit listless? It’s not just because of that lost hour of sleep. Our biological systems are intimately tied to the daynight cycle that sets our circadian rhythms: Circadian from the Latin circa (approximately) and diem (day). Understanding the basic biology of circadian rhythms (the study of “chronobiology”) is vital to our daily lives as one half of the population suffers from some problem in their daily sleep cycle. In addition to Daylight Saving Time, medications, artificial lighting, shift-work, jet lag, even 24/7 Internet access all represent chronobiological changes that can affect productivity and physical and mental well-being. “People are fascinated about sleep; about performance rhythms,” said Stuart Brody, Ph.D., an emeritus professor of biology and founding director of the Center for Chronobiology, at UCSD. Established in 2009, the CCB is the larger center of its kind in the world devoted to the study of chronobiology. An organized research unit

of the University of California, it consists of an interdepartmental group of faculty members and students. What sets the CCB apart from other chronobiology research centers is the large number of investigators, all in one place, and the breadth of the research being conducted: More than 30 scientists who are on the UCSD faculty, The Salk Institute, The Scripps Research Institute, or are part of other research centers. CCB research — conducted on bacteria, fungi, plants and animals — span general and reproductive medicine, pharmacology, psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, biological sciences, neurosciences, bioengineering, biocircuits and physics. From the beginning, the CCB has attracted investigators with skills in molecular biology. It is the ability to look for genes related to problems (such as sleep disorders) that has transformed the science of chronobiology from merely “descriptive” to research that can be measured. “This has helped research efforts reach critical mass,” Brody said.

Brody and his colleagues not only want to build up chronobiology as a field, they also want to make study findings important to medicine. Researchers involved in the center investigate the basic mechanisms of the circadian clock as well as the role of human circadian disorders in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, glucose stability and weight control with the long-term goal of developing new molecular treatments for patients suffering from disorders as diverse as insomnia, diabetes and obesity. “Many, many diseases have chronobiology underpinnings,” said Susan Golden, Ph.D., current CCB director. “But, it’s taking a frustratingly long time to incorporate chronobiology into the clinic. For example, lots of data indicate that if cancer chemotherapy is given at a particular time of day it can be more effective.” In February, the CCB held its 4th annual chronbiology symposium. The title says it all: “From Cells to Clinic.” Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

FROM Belvedere, A1

The LJVMA hopes the project will become a model for the type of public-private partnerships aimed at revitalizing communities that Mayor Bob Filner championed while running for office. Courtesy

La Jolla Town Council and La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA). The LJVMA is overseeing the project, and will help identify public and private funding for its construction, and assist with grant writing. Architect Paul Benton, Alcorn’s partner in La Jolla-based Alcorn & Benton Architects, said the project could benefit from community development block grant (CDBG) funds, which are property taxes made available for community development projects. The money is redistributed at the discretion of local governments. “Sherri Lightner’s office has offered any assistance they can in applying for those grants,” Benton said, though noting that they have become increasingly difficult to obtain. “There’s other sources of grants that are possible and we’re getting some favorable responses in those areas as well.” However, donations from private citizens and businesses will still be key to fund the project, he said. Benton said the most recent project concept was submitted to the city about six months ago, and has been reviewed by the fire

marshal, as well as the city’s planning and engineering departments. “I feel that we’ve largely overcome the larger technical issues with the city, and the city’s about ready to issue their final letter of agreement, which, of course, is a tremendous step,” Benton said. “We don’t have it until we have it, but I have confidence it’s on the way.” Benton said a minor issue related to fire safety and access to the buildings that had to do with the configuration of the street and retaining wall has been resolved. “We’ve got the preliminary concept worked out to a degree that we know what to expect, and how to (execute) the final design when the time is right.” The most recent concepts for the project include the addition of an ocean-view overlook, traffic calming measures, reconfigured parking and outdoor café seating. “I want it to be a consistent and coherent design, in which all the parts seem to relate well to each other so that you’re in an identifiable area, rather than having a hodgepodge of café seating or landscape,” Benton said. “I want it to be uniform.” LJVMA Board President Phil Coller confirmed that the organization received “noobjection letters” from all 10

adjacent property owners between Girard and Herschel avenues, something he said the city will require prior to permits being granted. “We thought it prudent and a positive move to get the letters before going too far with this process,” he said. “We want to build consensus and a sense of community. La jollans must buy in to what happens to the La Jolla infrastructure.” Benton said approvals were also forthcoming from the owner of 1020 Prospect St., the building where a 54-room boutique hotel has been proposed (which is kittycorner to the project site), as well as the operators of the proposed hotel (Alcorn & Benton are the architects hired to design the hotel). “It means the (property owners) are in agreement with us proceeding, with trying to get the necessary permits and money and complete the design and construct the Belvedere,” Coller said. Coller said the LJVMA hopes the project will become a model for the type of public-private partnerships aimed at revitalizing communities that Mayor Bob Filner championed while running for office. “He wants to do this, well, here’s a community that has all the property owners signed off on it,” he said.

FROM Post Office, A1 week that the building has not yet been listed for sale. Should the 1934 building be sold, whoever purchases it will have to assure its historic characteristics remain in tact. USPS regional property manager Diana Alvarado confirmed that the “defining characteristics” of the Wall Street post office’s interior and exterior were recently identified. Those characteristics will be placed on a covenant easement that will transfer with the deed of the property should the building be put on the market, she said. The post office sale was largely delayed last year pending completion of the Section 106 process, which requires federal agencies, such as the USPS, to study the impact of a sale or alteration to buildings either listed on or eligible for inclusion on the National Register. According to USPS Federal Preservation Officer and real estate specialist Dallan Wordekemper, the final step in completing the Section 106 is for an entity to assume responsibility for maintaining and enforcing the covenant — including financial responsibility for assuring the buyer maintains the WPA-era building’s historic characteristics. Wordekemper said the characteristics of the Wall Street post office to be listed in the covenant include “all of the features as defined” in the nomination packet the task force submitted for inclusion on the National Register. Locating an entity to assume

SAVE THE POST OFFICE UPDATE

responsibility for the covenant may prove challenging for USPS. Both the San Diegobased Save Our Heritage Organisation and the La Jolla Historical Society said they do not have the financial resources to oversee the covenant. According to Alvarado, USPS is currently working with the Los Angeles Conservancy to assume responsibility for a covenant easement onthe Santa Monica post office for a one-time fee of $25,000. Wordekemper said the California State Office of Historic Preservation (which also granted the Wall Street post office historic designation) said it also does not have “the financial capacity nor the ability (to oversee and enforce the covenant).” (Preservation covenants on post office properties have

typically been overseen by a state’s historic preservation office, he said.) “We’ve had to seek another method or solution to the problem here,” said Wordekemper, noting that USPS would “prefer to have the City of San Diego take on the responsibility” for the covenant. “They gave us the impression that they had no problem with this,” Wordekemper said. “We’ll find out on April 25.” However, a representative with the office of City Council representative Sherri Lightner told the task force last week that the city has no plans to accept responsibility for the covenant. Wordekemper said whether the city will ultimately assume that responsibility “has not been determined at this time.”

Fate of the mural One key element Wordekemper said would not be included in the preservation covenant is the interior WPA-commissioned mural by artist Belle Baranceanu, which he said is USPS property. USPS could enter into a loan agreement with a buyer to maintain the mural where it is, perhaps for a 25-year period with an option to renew, or find an alternate home for the mural. Though Wordekemper said USPS has a “boilerplate of various things that need to be in (the covenant),” he said “some of those things are more a work in progress” when it comes time to negotiate with a buyer, such as the mural. “It is our goal to keep it where it is,” he said. “Now, is the buyer of the building ideal for that? We don’t know until it happens.” When the post office in Fairfield, Conn., was sold last year for $4.3 million, USPS paid to have its WPA-era mural shipped to Chicago, professionally restored and reinstalled in Fairfield’s Independence Hall. A committee of residents, town selectmen and university staff was organized to determine the best site for the mural. Alvarado said that should La Jolla’s post office mural be moved, similar input would be sought. The La Jolla Historical Society museum would likely be the first place USPS considers moving it to, she said. More on the proposed sale Though Alvarado said USPS had the Wall Street post office property appraised about

www.lajollalight.com FROM Post Office, A14 10 months ago, she declined to disclose that figure, which she said would likely need to be updated to reflect subsequent market fluctuations. Should the post office be listed for sale, Alvarado said USPS would provide the public and city officials with “a list of contending sites that we would possibly relocate to, and post a 30day notice of USPS’s intent to list the building for sale. “Then when we’ve actually selected a site, another notification goes out with the same 30-day posting,” she said. The public would have 15 days to appeal the decision to list the building for sale, Alvarado said. “Of course, by the time you negotiate a lease and renovate it for us to occupy it, it could take up to a year — that’s after we clear the Section 106, so it’s a pretty long process,” she said. Alvarado said a rental property has not been found in which to relocate the Wall Street post office services. “We’re just beginning to think about it,” she said, adding that there have been no “formal” negotiations.

She said USPS is looking for a space in the range of 6,000 square feet that can accommodate window boxes and post office boxes. “We sometimes can get pretty creative (with the space),” she said. Alvarado said USPS has not yet considered such a creative use of the existing Wall Street post office building, though she maintained that USPS is not averse to the task force’s plan of having a community nonprofit purchase the building and lease a portion of it back to USPS. The postal service would then maintain services on Wall Street, leaving the remainder of the building for various community or commercial uses. “We’re obviously looking for appraised value and higher, but you know (USPS will) weigh different things,” she said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that the most cash is what they’re going to go with. It could be its (future) use too.” According to the website, savethepostoffice.org, about a dozen historic post offices have recently been sold, and another 40 — including the Wall Street post office — are listed as for sale or about to be put on the market.

Online course to seek participants’ future food and energy solutions From UCSD reports

UC San Diego is developing a free online course designed to educate students — and anyone else around the world with a computer and an Internet connection — about the challenges and potential solutions for meeting the global demands of food and fuel in the 21st century. Called “Our Energy Future,” this Massive Online Open Course, or MOOC, is supported by a $50,000 grant from Google and will use Google’s suite of web-based tools to encourage social interactions inside and outside of the virtual “classroom.” Stephen Mayfield, a professor of biology and co-director of UCSD’s Center for Food and Fuel for the 21st Century, a research entity designed to apply basic research to sustainable food and biofuel production, is heading the effort to develop the MOOC, which he expects to be online later this year. Mayfield said participants will be taught about the global demands for food and fuel through lectures delivered by UCSD experts in the fields of engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, economics, climate science and social science. Then scholars, policymakers and others from around the world will be linked through the MOOC portal to discuss and develop solutions. Small groups of students will team up to propose a site-appropriate, cutting-edge, clean energy project in any location, which could produce a significant amount of energy for that population, be economically sustainable and have positive environmental and social impacts. Students will be able to obtain credit for completing the course in partnership with UCSD Extension. In addition, the MOOC will develop a series of lay-language lectures to educate everyday citizens about the challenges and potential solutions for providing for our food and energy future.

Spotlight on Local

Murfey Construction gets to ‘The Point’ in Pacific Beach By Marti Gacioch Murfey Construction, Inc. gets right to the point with their recent Pacific Beach groundbreaking for a 21-unit, high-end, mixed-use urban apartment complex in the Crown Point neighborhood. The Point at Ingraham, a three-story 35,000-squarefoot project, will feature nine two-bedroom apartments, 11 one-bedroom apartments and one studio. Amenities will include solar electricity, air conditioning, washers and dryers, a gas range and tankless water heaters. “It will have every modern amenity, including LED lighting and wireless connections,” said Scott Murfey, president of Murfey Construction. “We’re trying to be a green builder, so we’re using recycled blue jeans for insulation — denim is non-toxic and mold-resistant, has excellent insulation values and is sound-deadening.”

Left: Scott and Russell Murfey Below: A rendering of The Point, the Murfey’s new apartment building project in Pacific Beach. Courtesy

The Point will feature a private entrance and an elevator lobby with key card access. The gated parking lot will provide 45 spaces, and every apartment will have its own storage unit with ample space for bikes and surfboards. The Point’s second floor, 500-squarefoot outdoor deck will feature tables and a BBQ for tenant socializing. The 3805 Ingraham complex will include a

2300-square-foot ground floor space for commercial retail tenants. Murfey envisions that the retail space may feature places to relax, like a neighborhood café and a yoga studio. According to Murfey, the large outdoor patio on the building’s Southwest corner will be available to both the tenants and the public. It will include a wall where people can park their bikes and get something to eat or

drink and congregate. “Our goal with The Point is to bring the same sleek contemporary urban feeling to Pacific Beach that’s present in downtown San Diego and Little Italy,” Murfey said. “We feel like there’s a great need in PB for some newer apartments that people will enjoy being part of.” Scott Murfey and his brother, Russell, are the property developers (under Veritas Urban Properties)

and the general contractors and builders of Murfey Construction, Inc. Their new office space is across the street from The Point at 1571 La Playa Ave. “We just started the project a few weeks ago, and it will be completed early next year, but we’ll be leasing the apartments out ahead of time, so people can contact us at (858) 3562284,” Murfey said. The brothers, who grew

up in La Jolla, have built other mixed-use properties around San Diego and are currently building a 4,000-square-foot home in La Jolla Shores. — Murfey Construction, Inc.

hen Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelers on La Jolla’s Wall Street in 1945, they could never have known that their business would later become one of the longest standing retail landmarks in the community. But 65 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelers, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business. Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981. Since then, he and wife Sheila of 39 years, have been the go-to for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs and exceptional, personalized service. With an unparalleled selection, fine quality and real personality, the

family feel at Bowers is contagious. Patrons are encouraged to pull up a chair while they marvel at the many unique necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and time pieces on the showroom floor. The folks at Bowers remain true to their customers and work tirelessly to provide quality products at fair prices. Boasting a highly qualified, passionate and friendly staff, Bowers keeps the tradition of old La Jolla alive and well.

Finding a solution to the sequester By Congressman Scott Peters California’s 52nd District

’ve been in Congress for two months now and something that still surprises me: How out of touch and political Washington is. I ran for office because I believed I could make a difference, and I still do. I am as tired as you are of partisan posturing, and a perfect example is the sequester. The sequester was crafted in 2011 to force legislators from both sides of the aisle to come to an agreement on a bipartisan budget. It was intentionally nonsensical, so that Congress would do everything in its power to avoid it. But Congress proved once again how broken it truly is. Two weeks before the sequester took effect, House leadership called a recess and sent us home. As a former Port Commissioner and City Council president, that was foreign to me. I could not believe, with the amount of work still to be done, that we were sent home. Even more frustrating was that we were sent home without being allowed to vote on a single alternative to

GUEST COMMENTARY the sequester because leadership didn’t agree with the legislation. This is not the democratic process that the United States is regarded for. The belief that the indiscriminate cuts from the sequester are minimal and won’t affect everyday people is unique to Washington. This is why I spent my time at home sending a message back to Congress. I enlisted the help of our port commissioners, scientific research community and maritime workers to tell Congress that San Diego will feel the negative effects of the sequester through layoffs, furloughs, stifled research and decreased GDP. Last week, I spent every day on the House floor bringing attention to the sequester and urging Congress to work together. On Thursday, our last legislative day to avoid the sequester, I asked leadership to stay in session to find a solution. Leadership decided to adjourn the House, but my appeals did not fall completely on deaf ears. This week, since returning, I have heard from both Democrats and Republicans who want to find a responsible alternative to the sequester, and who believe these solutions can be accomplished in our upcoming budget negotiations. On March 27, the stopgap bill that Congress

passed last year in lieu of a budget, called the “continuing resolution,” will expire. My colleagues on both sides of the aisle see an opportunity for us to stop the politics enough to address our serious fiscal problems — including the sequester — with a responsible budget that raises revenues by closing tax loopholes and reins in our spending. I’m determined to do my part to get Congress working again. Since day one I’ve looked for partners on both sides of the aisle who have a similar mindset and determination to put aside political agendas and problem solve. I’ve found a group of lawmakers in my freshman class, known as the United Solutions Caucus, which I am proud to be a part of and look forward to working with. I have also joined a group of lawmakers who are not only freshman or members of the House. In February I joined No Labels, a bipartisan group of lawmakers from both the House and the Senate who have been in office for a variety of years but who haven’t forgotten that they were sent to Congress to serve and get things done. This is just the beginning of a trying journey, but if we remember our purpose, this journey will also be rewarding. I thank you for the opportunity that you have given me to represent you in Congress, and I am working hard every day to make you proud.

What’s on YOUR mind?

Sign pollution is an issue in Bird Rock community In regards to your recent article about the over-abundance of signs, I hope the Bird Rock area is also addressed. The signs and banners are completely out of control creating excessive visual pollution. Just between the nail salon and liquor store at the corner of La Jolla Boulevard and Forward Street, there are more than 30 signs including neon or flimsy plastic signage. While there are many improvements in Bird Rock, this makes the area look cheap and transient. Local store owners and residents should not put up with this. By continuing to beautify La Jolla Boulevard, Bird Rock can set an example for all of La Jolla. David Bruce La Jolla

Stormwater diversion project bears further scrutiny Thank you for highlighting the new, very dangerous traffic configuration along Torrey Pines Road in your March 7 issue. I am sure many in La Jolla were caught by surprise by the relocated traffic lanes since the city gave no advance notice, not even to those with driveways along the impacted section who have to risk their lives to pull into traffic. Hopefully, everyone will drive slowly enough to reduce the danger. The whole stormwater diversion project along Torrey Pines Road seems to have proceeded without appropriate notice or public review, and is most likely illegal as it will dry up over 500 feet of year-round streams, diverting naturally flowing water to which

Too many competing messages lead to confusion and excessive visual pollution. David Bruce adjacent landowners have riparian water rights, including aesthetic enjoyment. Diverting this water except during periods of high flow will increase downstream erosion and siltation of the adjacent ocean which is a federally designated Area of Special Biological Significance (ASBS). Animals and plants that rely on this water will be affected, and we should also expect an increase in mosquitoes and West Nile Virus as the remaining water stagnates. The city is making no beneficial use of the diverted water, and it appears that the ASBS supports an abundance of wildlife with the streams in their existing condition. Eric Korevaar La Jolla

Don’t give up on yoga, Inga Bravo Inga for searching for a perfect yoga class, yet after reading your La Jolla Light article, “Yoga for the maimed and feeble” in the March 7 issue, I wouldn’t be surprised seeing a yoga mat at your next garage sale… between your funny and witty lines, seems to transpire a frustration.

doesn’t dry in spite of challenges placed on our path (perhaps Queen of Universe Bhuvaneshvari tests our dedication?) is that practicing yoga facilitates Union, Contentment, Adaptability and Lighthearted Attitude — quite opposite of the feelings of “separation” and self-judgment. Let’s celebrate the day when “students with special needs,” realize that when a teacher kindly stops the class in order to adapt a pose, it’s an opportunity for other students to practice compassion, patience and learn about a selfcare. Karma comes back, so in return, why not cultivate patience (or chant silently a mantra) while standing in a line, putting props away, integrating B. Gita’s teachings (II/50) of “Yoga as a skill in action” — every action! I don’t own a car, but I wholeheartedly support the need to address the parking issues in La Jolla. Many blessings for your chakras to spin the right way, right speed and in the right alignment; so when you lay down in a final Savasana, you’ll be able to experience the “bliss of pure being,” beyond the senses, sound or snoring; dissolving your thoughts into the space filled subtle energy, the vibration and a profound meaning of NAMASTE.

OBITUARIES

Ragnhild “Rani” Thorsen 1933 – 2013

Rani Thorsen died Wednesday, February 27, 2013, at the age of 80, at UCSD Medical Center after a short battle with cancer. Rani was born on February 20, 1933, in Oslo, Norway. She spent much of her youth in Norway before moving permanently to the U.S. in 1972. She settled in La Jolla with her mother and two young sons in 1975 and never left. Rani overcame a lot to provide a great environment for her family. She loved baseball (the Giants and Padres in particular), photography, Indian crafts and culture, knitting, stamps and polar bears. She was an avid walker and enjoyed taking photos all over La Jolla and San Diego, but was particularly fond of the La Jolla Cove and other beach areas. She is survived and

missed tremendously by her two sons, Henning and Lars and their families; her brother, Henrik and all of her nephews and her niece; her grandchildren, Lisl, Olina and Finn; as well as her dear friends, Cornelia, Larry, Tommy, Virginia, Jan and others too numerous to mention. An informal wake will be held on March 17, 2013, at 5pm at the Brockton Villa. Memorial contributions may be made to the World Wildlife Fund for Polar Bears at http://worldwildlife.org/ species/polar-bear.

Richard William Naitoh 1994 – 2013

Ricky Naitoh, treasured son of John Naitoh and Becky Zeiner, and beloved brother to Sarah, Emily and Steve, was taken from us prematurely on March 3,

2013. He was only 18 and succumbed after a long battle against depression. Ricky was born in Middletown, CT, and was named after his mother’s father. While he spent his early years in Middletown and Los Angeles, the majority of his life was spent in La Jolla, CA. His most special childhood years were at Torrey Pines Elementary School; but through his life at Muirlands Middle School and at La Jolla High School, he built true friendships that gave him moments of true happiness and relief from his illness. Ricky strived to be a writer and was attending Long Beach State University. He also was a poet whose potential will sadly never be realized. He loved his family and his friends. He also enjoyed hiking, camping with his family, photography, painting and reading. His spark was to create art. He was a gentle soul who looked after others he felt were less advantaged or needed attention. In high school he tutored underprivileged students. His last message to all of us was, “I am sorry to everyone who cared for me. I wish you all the best. I am sorry. I love you. Be strong. Never give up.” We believe that his wish was for all of us to carry on and make the world a kinder place. We believe the best way to pay tribute to his life is to be

empathetic and loving to each other. He wanted us to reach out to those in need, to those who appear lonely, who are in pain or need a hand. Every day he would want us to prove that the world does not have to be cruel. In his memory, we have to make choices to be sure that the gift of life is never extinguished prematurely again.

New Athenaeum book celebrates 20 years, 40 artists

Erika Torri with James Hubbell, the first artist in the book, and his wife Anne

Roman de Salvo and Joyce Cutler-Shaw are among the artists signing copies of the Athenaeum’s new book.

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt La Jolla’s oldest cultural institution, the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, had its modest beginnings in the 1890s, when six local women formed a Reading Club, which became a membership library following the generous donation of a corner cottage, land, books and piano from a frequent visitor to La Jolla. The first president of the Library Association was Ellen Browning Scripps. One of only 16 nonprofit membership libraries in the country, the Athenaeum now attracts more than 110,000 visitors a year. The last 20 years have been really productive due to Erika Torri, who first came to the Athenaeum in 1989, and became its executive director in 1990. Under her guidance, the Athenaeum has flourished. She has overseen a major expansion of the facilities, a more lively art exhibition program, the creation of several popular jazz and chamber music concert series, and the

Guests at the preview celebration of Athenaeum’s book, ‘Selections from the Permanent Collection — 1990-2010,’ gather for a group photo. Photos by Maurice Hewitt acquisition of an impressive array of artists’ books. Not least of her achievements has been helping the library amass a permanent collection of some 150 works by regional artists. “We’ve had 20 years of jazz, 20 years of chamber music, and 20 years of galas, and we celebrated each of those with a special event or publication,” Torri said. “Then I realized we had 20 years of collection in hand.”

That seemed to deserve a book of its own, so in January 2011, the work began. “We looked at all the pieces we have by artists who exhibited in a solo show in the main gallery between 1990 and 2010, and we came up with exactly 40 artists and 40 pieces,” Torri said. “Most of them are San Diego artists, still alive and working today, though some, like Italo Scanga, Harry Sternberg and Manny

Farber are no longer with us.” The artists range from Adam Belt to Zandra Rhodes, and include Joyce CutlerShaw, James Hubbell, Becky Cohen and Roman de Salvo. Among them are a couple of art couples: Patricia Patterson and Manny Farber, Jean Lowe and Kim MacConnel. The book contains photos of all the artists and their selected works, along with

Lady Torreys defeat Troy Warriors in Regional CIF Playoff By Michael Ragovin La Jolla Country Day women’s basketball team hosted the Troy High School Warriors in the next round of CIF playoff games, with the Torreys winning 51-31 on Friday, March 8. The victory was never really in doubt and was even more impressive because one of Country Day’s starting five was unable to play due to illness. The team never missed a beat and just did what they do best: win. The game started out slowly. With 2:40 left in the first period, only eight points had been scored, all by the Torreys. The scoring consisted of a two-point jumper by Kelsey Plum after intercepting a pass, a free throw and then a long 3-pointer by Brianne Yasukochi, and another 2-pointer by Plum. Troy missed on a drive to the basket and multiple offensive rebound opportunities. Country Day then scored on an Isabel Aguirre free throw, a Yasukochi layup and a Plum offensive rebound, closing the first period at 13-1, Torreys. The second quarter began with the Warriors getting a defensive rebound and taking it to the other end of the court for a layup with 7:29 remaining in the second period. Plum hit a jumper from the baseline and the score was 15-3 at the seven-minute mark. Scoring picked up again with 4:46 remaining in the period on a layup by the Warriors after traveling the length of the court. With 4:18 left in the period, Mai-Loni Henson drilled a 3-pointer to make to score 18-5. The Warriors then missed a shot and an offensive board opportunity, but were

La Jolla Country Day’s Torreys women’s basketball team defeats the Troy High School Warriors 51-31 in the first round of CIF So Cal Regional Championships at a March 8 home game. Michael Ragovin fouled and got both free throws making the score 18-7 at the 3:55 mark. After another three by Henson and with 3:29 left in the period, the Torreys led 21-7. The Warriors missed from under the basket and failed to convert two free throws. The only score the rest of the period was a free throw by Plum. There is something to be said for the Country Day defense, as holding any team to seven points for an entire half is quite an accomplishment. Though Plum missed a three to begin the third period, on the Torreys next possession she got nothing but net from behind the arc. Country Day was ahead 25-7 with a 1:07 gone in the third.

remaining in the third quarter, Troy made a short jumper and closed in on double digits at 25-9. The Warriors got the rebound off Plum and went coast-to-coast, laying it up and in with 5:44 left in the period. Plum scored on a drive to the basket and Country Day led by 16. The Warriors then hit on a 10-foot jumper to make the score 27-13 with 3:50 left in the third. Plum drove to the basket and put it through. On the next play, with 1:50 remaining in the third quarter, Plum got a rebound and made a long pass to Henson for a layup. The Warriors got a layup, a free throw and a three-point play. Plum hit on a 12-foot jumper and the quarter ended 35-19.

The fourth quarter began with Yasukochi intercepting a pass, but missing the layup. However, she converted two free throws less than a minute into the fourth period. The Warriors made a free throw, and Henson did the same. Yasukochi made both ends of a one-and-one, making the score 40-20 with 5:53 remaining in the game. Troy was fouled on the way to the basket and made both free throws. Plum soon scored on a layup and a free throw and Country Day was ahead 43-22 with 4:27 left in the game. Plum then went the length of the floor with a rebound to score it. A Warrior got fouled in the act of shooting and made one free throw, giving the Torreys a comfortable 22-point lead. Troy then scored on a free throw, a backdoor layup and another free throw before Plum hits Henson with a no look pass under the basket for two, holding a 21-point lead at 47-26 with 2:34 left in the game. The Warriors hit a three and Yasukochi intercepts to make a long pass to Henson who scored from underneath. The Torreys score two more on a Plum putback and Troy scored on a drive to the basket to end the scoring at 51-31. When asked if taking over at the end of the game is just natural, Plum said “Coach puts us in a position to be successful. My teammates (are) setting screens and passing the ball. My job is to score. It may look I take over, but it’s just our team playing…” Not a textbook win, however it sends Country Day to the next round: Semi-finals of the CIF SoCal Regional Championships on March 12 in Los Angeles.

Reena Horowitz chairs spring gala in support of foster youth on their own Former foster youth, community volunteers, civic leaders and Nashville recording artist, Jimmy Wayne (himself a former foster youth) will come together for Just in Time for Foster Youth’s 10th anniversary gala, “Help from the Heart,” 6-9 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. Reena and Sam Horowitz and Wendy Walker and Randall Woods are chairing the black-tie event. The gala will raise funds Reena Horowitz to support programs that Michael C. Campbell assist 18-year-olds leaving the foster care system with little or no family support with housing, college resources and community networks. Last year, that meant more than 600 young men and women were helped and now know someone believes in them and their futures. The gala will include a car raffle with the grand prize: a 36-month/10,000 miles-peryear lease on a 2013 FIAT 500. Just 2,000 tickets will be sold at $99 per ticket.

By Ashley Mackin hen describing her history as a swimming instructor, soonto-be centenarian Virginia Andrews of La Jolla, points to the two great loves of her life — water and children. “I always loved to swim, water is my best friend, and I always loved children. I always loved helping them learn to swim. It was one of my most fun things,” she said. While her love of water and swimming didn’t bring her to La Jolla, it finalized her decision to retire here. The first time

having been born in Spokane, Wash., she wanted to live by the ocean before she had even seen it. It was in La Jolla that she founded the Neptune Swim Club, where children were taught to swim at no cost. She said she wanted to make sure all of her students could rescue themselves and one other person, should the need arise.

He was then transferred to Austin, Texas, but the couple decided to head back La Jolla for good in 1959, along with their four sons — Simon, Ruben, Richard and Thomas.

The March 16-17 concert, titled “Repeat/Move On,” will provide a spectrum of music from the 20th century — from minimalism to rockinfused experimentalism. “Repeat/Move On is the conundrum,” conductor Steven Schick said. “It is one of the main questions a composer, or anyone, asks of himself: ‘How do I know when this piece has played out and when it’s time to go on to the next thing?’ In this concert, we will experience how this question produced remarkably different approaches to musical language in the 20th century.” The program features Philip Glass’

The Melting Pot blends flavors for fanciful dining fun By Kelley Carlson hether it’s dipping an appetizer into a cheese fondue or diving into a four-course meal, The Melting Pot offers a blend of dining experiences under one roof. It starts with selecting the perfect setting. The bar and heated front patio are the centers of socialization — customers can commemorate happy hour and catch the latest sporting event on TV. Also downstairs, there’s a festive party room and booths in the dimly-lit main dining area that easily allow for family-style dining, and a back patio that is occasionally the scene of special events. Couples on dates often indulge their cravings upstairs, with some requesting booths in the quiet and semi-private “Lover’s Lane.” Light, relaxing music in jazz and soft rock genres helps set the tone. “(The Melting Pot experience is) meant to be enjoyed,” said Frankie Becker, operating partner. “Take your time and enjoy each course as it comes.” While the establishment has a romantic ambience, it’s fun for families, as well. “Kids love it here,” Becker said. “They love dipping food in cheese and chocolate.” Children can choose up to three items to dip — whether it’s beef, shrimp, teriyaki, steak, filet, chicken or ravioli — and cook them in a pot on the table with their parents. The menu is a la carte-oriented and no

n This week’s recipe: The Melting Pot’s Cheese Fondue matter which of the 140-plus Melting Pot locations a person visits, the dishes are nearly identical, and the primary focus is on fondue. The signature Fondue Features change seasonally. Currently, there is the Bacon & Brie Cheese Fondue, a blend of baby brie, Gruyere and Emmenthaler cheeses, white wine, Nueske’s applewood-smoked bacon, chopped onions, mustard and cracked black pepper topped with scallions. Also featured are the Strawberry Almond Salad, dressed with a raspberry black walnut vinaigrette and White Chocolate Creme Brulee. To whet the appetite, there are a handful of cheese fondues available, served with

bite-sized vegetable pieces and artisan breads. Among them is the Wisconsin Trio, featuring Fontina, Butterkäse and buttermilk bleu cheeses with white wine, scallions and a sherry base that is creamy and buttery. Entrees can be ordered individually or in combinations of up to three and are presented with multiple dipping sauces. One example is the French Quarter with filet mignon, chicken breast and Pacific white shrimp seasoned with Cajun spices and accompanied by Andouille sausage. Items are cooked at the table in a choice of Seasoned Court Bouillon (seasoned vegetable broth), Mojo (Caribbean-seasoned bouillon with garlic and citrus flavors), Coq au Vin (burgundy wine infused with herbs, spices and mushrooms) or Bourguignonne (Europeanstyle fondue in cholesterol-free canola oil, served with tempura and sesame batters). To round out the meal, there are three types of chocolate fondues — milk, dark and white chocolate — that use a variety of mix-ins, from caramel and pecans, to peanut butter and marshmallow cream. Members of the military receive 20 percent off their food bill on Mondays; couples can order four courses and a bottle of wine for $99 on Tuesdays; Wednesdays offers 50 percent off bottles of wine priced under $100; and Thursdays is Ladies’ Night Out with cheese fondue, salad and chocolate fondue for $20 per person.

www.lajollalight.com FROM 100 YEARS OLD, B1 Her son, Simon, said people tell him all the time, “I wouldn’t be surfing today if your mom hadn’t taught me how to swim.” While she loves all children, Virginia’s own are the most precious in her life — and it shows. “(My boys are) all wonderful boys,” she said. “I was always so thankful and grateful that I was given these wonderful boys.” When asked which decade out of her 100-year life was her favorite, she answered, “I think it was about the time that my children were blossoming into adulthood … four boys growing to be men. I enjoyed them at each passing decade and I’m glad to be among them.” Her attitude toward motherhood — which she said is “my everything” — is both loving and realistic. “I’m enjoying the privilege of helping the four boys learn everything that I can, and be around to back them up,” she said, adding that the lessons she wanted to teach them were to be honest and never to blame. “I got my hand on their shoulders and if they need anything that I can do, I hope they let me do it,” she said. Joking with Simon, she said, “I think they would have made it without me, but it was a lot of fun anyway.” To which Simon replied, “Doubtful. If we made it all, it would have been a much different story.” Virginia said she tries to get her extensive family — which includes eight grandchildren and one great-grandson — all together as often as possible. “I’m glad they go work and do their own thing, but I am so happy when we get together ... but they have

100-year-old La Jollan speaking about her four sons living to do.” The Andrews sons all still live in La Jolla, which proved to be a nurturing environment for the family. The boys graduated from La Jolla High School, and Virginia and John were chosen as Senior Marshals in the 2009 La Jolla Christmas Parade, the year before John’s death. As to how La Jolla has changed over the years, Virginia simply shrugged. “Since I have changed so much, and we all have changed so

much, that’s where it all is. It isn’t that the town has changed, but when you talk about change … you better like it, because you are at the wheel,” she said. Over time, Virginia was able to evolve not only as a mother, but as a woman. She said women are more courageous now than they may have been in the past, but as a result, they’ve had to give up some of their femininity. “They had to sacrifice being totally feminine and nothing else,” she said, and as a result, “We had to be strong and use our strength, and know what we are and know that if there is something that needs to be done we can do it — and we did it.” It is Virginia’s “We Can Do It” attitude that she attributes to her longevity. “I don’t want to quit,” she said. “I just feel very fortunate. I got put in a good place and I’m thankful.” n Up Next: Meet 100-year-old Leona Adler in the March 21 issue.

You’ve got a lot of stalk options in celery

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

o most kids, celery is a snack found in lunch bags or a prop used for science experiments to show how colored water transports through vascular bundles. To most adults, celery is a stirring stick for a Bloody Mary. But this Mediterranean native — a sibling to carrots, cumin, parsley and cilantro — is an unsung hero in the gustatory world. As March roars in, let’s celebrate National Celery Month with every cook’s best stalk-in-trade. The Skinny on Celery At just six calories a stalk, celery is considered a “negative” or a “freebie food,” since you probably burn more than those six calories chomping away on the juicy stick (which also gives the old jaw a good work out). With its satisfying crunch and loads

of non-soluble fiber, celery is a dieter’s bliss. The mighty herb is also a nutritional powerhouse packed with folic acid, riboflavin and Vitamin C to keep metabolism on its toes, along with Vitamin K to dial-up bone mass. It’s also rife with minerals, including calcium, magnesium, manganese and potassium — the latter is key for stabilizing cell and body fluids to keep heart rate and blood pressure on an even keel. The aromatic leaves are loaded with antioxidant flavonoids, especially lutein, Vitamin A and betacarotene to keep eyesight sharp. Finally, the leaves contain essential oils (like limonene) to put the skids on everything from nervousness to creaky joints, while the seeds have also been used as a homeopathic pain reliever. Dirty Little Celery Secrets Throughout the ages, celery has been lauded as a high-octane aphrodisiac sparking passion and fueling stamina from the courts of ancient Rome to the parlor of French courtesan Madame de Pompadour (and even the bedroom of famed Italian playboy, Casanova). Today, scientists have confirmed

Aromatic Celery Lemon Risotto

■ Ingredients: • 1 cup of Arborio rice •6 stalks of celery (from heart) coarsely chopped • 1 tablespoon of olive oil or unsalted butter • 1/2 cup of dry white wine • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese • 4-5 cups of hot water or vegetable broth • 1 small red onion, chopped • Zest from 1 Meyer lemon and juice from 3 Meyers • 1 cup kale leaves, chopped

■ Method: Heat the olive oil or butter in a heavy skillet and sauté the celery and onions until translucent. Add the rice, coating the grains with the oil. Stir in the wine over medium heat until absorbed. Cook for 20 minutes, adding juice and the remaining liquid a cup at a time. Stir in kale with last cup of liquid. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese and garnish with zest from the lemon and celery leaves. (Serves 5-6) celery’s sexy attributes, as it has been found to contain a pheromone called androsterone, a substance secreted by the male sweat glands to entice females. Bedtime celery snacks, anyone?

the call. Select firm, crisp bunches with bright green leaves and pass over brownleafed limp stalks. A Bunch of Trivia n Celery is the sixth most purchased vegetable in the country. n One ounce of celery seeds produces an acre of celery crops. n 75 percent of celery grown in the USA comes from California. n Celery contains an internal pesticide producing psoralens that ward off hungry fungi. These compounds cause skin allergies in some people after eating celery. n Hippocrates, the father of medicine, described celery as a nerve soother,

while a Sears Catalog (1897) featured a celery nerve tonic. Chew on That Every part of the celery herb is edible — the hearty root, the savory seeds, the fragrant leaves and the crispy stalks, of course. In French cuisine the marriage of the aromatic trio of celery (whether the conventional Pascal variety or the celeriac root), carrots and onions is known as “mirepoix.” These three musketeers sautéed in butter or olive oil are used as the base for assorted soups, stews, sauces and stocks. Whip up a green machine smoothie with celery, kale, cucumber and almond milk or a pineapple celery stir-fry. Chop into potato, egg, tuna

or chicken salad for an added crunchy oomph. Braise celery hearts or slices of celery root for a savory side. Stick some stalks into your chicken or turkey cavity or toss some leaves into your soup pot for added aromatic flavor. Stuff the stalks with hummus, cream cheese, almond butter or crab dip for a refreshing appetizer or snack. Jazz up coleslaw or salad dressings with a sprinkling of tasty celery seeds. Chop into a marinara sauce or concoct the blissful risotto above for a scrumptious change-up, adding zero calories and tons of flavor. Bon appetito!

United Way’s book drive aims to give children summer reading material Fourth grade is considered the year when children switch from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” Since a quarter of San Diego County fourth-graders not reading proficiently (and more than half of the county’s students are considered economically disadvantaged) United Way of San Diego County will host its second Virtual Book Drive, with the goal of purchasing 48,000 summer reading books for local kids, ages preschool to 8. The United Way’s Virtual Book Drive will be held March 18-30 when donations of any size can be made at the “online bookstore” found at UWSD.org (bilingual books cost $2.50 each). A donation of $20 will buy books for eight young San Diego readers. In 2012, the Virtual Book Drive raised enough funds to purchase 21,500 bilingual books for low-income children. Each child will receive his or her own book, a bookmark with an inspirational note, and tips for parents to encourage the love of reading. The drive will culminate with United Way’s annual Day of Action, June 21, where volunteers will help package the books and write notes to kids.

Salon treats alopecia patients to a day of beauty and smiles More than 20 kids and adults, who are living with alopecia, an auto-immune disorder that attacks the hair follicles causing hair loss, enjoyed a spa day at KODA Salon in La Jolla where they were taught how to tie and wear scarves and hats, and have their wigs cut and styled to best frame their faces. They also received facials, manicures and pedicures. A makeup artist was on hand to teach them how to draw on eyebrows, a facial feature that is also lost with alopecia. The event was created and sponsored by the Junior League of San Diego. KODA Salon owner Cheng Tan said, “We were thrilled to participate in this event to help these individuals learn to celebrate their beauty —whether they choose to wear a scarf, hat, wig or celebrate their baldness.” In San Diego alone, there are almost 30,000 cases of people living with alopecia. Those afflicted are often subject to bullying and harrassment.

Mainly Mozart

Chamber Music Festival marks its 25th year with new ‘arrangements’ By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Mainly Mozart is all about making beautiful music and sharing it with the community. Now in its 25th year, founders began in 1988 with a 10-day outdoor festival at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park, and have now expanded to two months of musical delights, featuring a range of composers besides their main man. Since 1996, one of its regular venues has been the acoustically lovely auditorium of the Neurosciences Institute on Torrey Pines Road, now known as The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). n A little MM history Mainly Mozart co-founders David Atherton and Nancy Laturno Bojanic met in the 1980s at San Diego Symphony, where he was music director and she was director of communications. They decided to start a Mozart Festival to bring the best musicians they could find to San Diego.

Club Amadeus concert hosts Bill Jech and DeAnn Cary, pianist/Evolution Series Director Stephen Prutsman, Club Amadeus Chair Esther Nehama and Mainly Mozart Executive Director Nancy Laturno Bojanic after a recent concert. Maurice Hewitt

Chamber music — which only requires small orchestras — was affordable and Mozart was the perfect choice. Twenty-five years later, maestro Atherton is leaving San Diego for Europe and will lead the Mainly Mozart Festival Orchestra for the last time at a pair of galas in June.

n Special in 2013 Mainly Mozart is spreading its wings. Besides Club Amadeus, a membership group that helps support the festival and gets to enjoy private meet-the-artist concerts in intimate settings, there are several new programs, designed to attract new audiences.

• Mozart & The Mind (MATM): UC San Diego neuroscientist Tim Mullen, who is spearheading MATM, describes it as “a unique way of integrating research and art with cutting-edge scientific discourse and live musical performance.” He promises “an exciting blend of ground-breaking learning and amazing music that includes free lectures, interactive exhibits and world-class musicians.” • Music-Brain Exposition: A subset of MATM, this

Mozart & the Mind, a unique blend of science and music, will be paired with Mainly Mozart’s Spotlight concerts in May and June. Tim Mullen “interactive playground” gives Spotlight concertgoers a chance to engage with scientists and musicians demonstrating some of the latest discoveries regarding the connections between music and the brain. • Evolution: A jazzy June concert series celebrating the kind of music Mozart might have written if he were alive today. Evolution will feature three concerts at The Abbey in downtown San Diego, including Mexico’s next wave of classics and jazz,

and an assortment of master classes, open rehearsals, and school programs. In charge of the series is Stephen Prutsman, a charismatic pianist/composer whose work incorporates not just classical, but innovative jazz and world music, which he calls “downtown music.” “Mozart had an incredibly curious mind, along with a sense of innocence and joy, and he was definitely outside the box,” Prutsman said.

‘Big Nate’ cartoonist visits Bird Rock Elementary School By Lorri Sabban he “Big Nate” tour bus rolled into La Jolla and stopped at Bird Rock Elementary School on Feb. 13 for author Lincoln Peirce to speak to students about his popular book series. Peirce explained his creative process — tapping into his childhood memories for inspiration for the characters and situations. He also showed the students how he illustrates his stories by making sketches that were projected on a screen in the school auditorium. The students oohed and aahed as Peirce shared the finer details of what goes into creating the entertaining tales of Nate Wright, a rebellious and energetic sixth-

grader, who is no stranger to the detention room. The “Big Nate” series is No. 4 on the New York Times children’s bestseller list. Peirce told the students that at almost 50-years-old, he feels he is a better illustrator now than when he first started doodling comics as a kid. His books have been translated into many different languages, including German and Mandarin Chinese. Peirce said he has four more “Big Nate” books in the making. The students seemed to enjoy listening to his inspiring words to “keep reading and drawing.” The visit was arranged by parent volunteer Ronit Austgen and Warwick’s bookstore.

Here’s your chance to solve a ‘crime’:

Become a detective in ‘Accomplice: San Diego’ By Diana Saenger The entertainment industry continues to reinvent itself with unique and surprising productions. San Diego patrons of the many wonderful theater companies in our town know this first hand. A few months ago, the La Playhouse announced its expanded Without Walls (WoW) series, and “Accomplice: San Diego” by Tom Salamon writer, director and co-creator (with Betsy Salamon-Sufott), is the fourth WoW. This one plays out in Little Italy, March 19-April 14. Those purchasing tickets will find themselves in a game-like experience that takes them on a mysterious journey through particular spots in Little Italy. It all begins with a phone call disclosing a secret meeting location, as they become partners with a series of shady characters (actors) to investigate a criminal plot. “All of our shows are

entire show, constantly resetting props, as there can be four to six groups in route, and some groups may be faster than others. The goal is not to win or compete, but to enjoy the thrill of the game. “Everyone finishes at the end,” Salamon said. “It’s about going and being in the middle of a caper where

PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR MS Those of you who have Multiple Sclerosis or know someone who has MS are familiar with some of the symptoms. They range from cognitive issues such as problem solving and memory deficits to spasticity, vertigo, fatigue, muscle weakness, pain, coordination, balance & walking problems just to name a few.

Symptoms vary significantly from person to person; therefore, physical therapy (PT) treatment must be tailored to each individual by a skilled therapist trained to work with the various components and unique combinations of deficits faced by those with MS. PT can help to improve and maintain muscle strength & flexibility, increase overall fitness, improve balance reactions, address walking problems, teach energy conservation and safety strategies, and assess an appropriate assistive device if necessary. At Ability Rehab, our therapists specialize in treatment methods for MS. From pain management to neuromuscular re-education, balance & proprioceptive training, strength & flexibility training, compensatory strategies and more, our goal is to improve your overall health, wellness and independence in your daily life. P.S. The MS Society will be holding the 13th Annual MS Symposium on Sat. 3/16 presenting information on MS management and treatments. Visit calendar. MSpacific.org for more information.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction. com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-3711-11. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
