53 La Jolla teachers receive pink slips By Pat Sherman arch 15 was a sobering day for public school teachers across the state, including approximately 1,650 within the San Diego Unified School District, who each received preliminary pink slips. As many as 53 La Jolla teachers were given walking papers, including three at Bird Rock Elementary, nine at Torrey Pines Elementary, 13 at La Jolla Elementary and 14 at both Muirlands Middle and La Jolla High schools. The California Education Code requires school boards to issue the preliminary layoffs by March 15,

and then make a final decision on the notices by May 15. La Jolla High School principal Dana Shelburne said he issued pink slips to employees who teach English (3), math (3), world languages (2), science (1), social studies (1) and band (1), as well as a nurse, a counselor and a resource teacher. Shelburne said the school has not had to discontinue any programs yet due to the cuts. He hopes other teachers will be able to take up the slack until the state budget turns around and more money is allocated for education. La Jolla High also lost three classified employees, including a library assistant, a fulltime security guard and a bilingual office clerk, leaving the school without a person to translate for Spanish-speaking parents.

Trio of new Village projects delights merchants association By Dave Schwab Three proposals for support and consideration were brought before the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) at its March 14 meeting at the La Jolla Woman’s Club: 1) plans for a new high-end hotel in town; 2) plans for a promenade at The Dip; and 3) plans for a series of festive Saturday evening events in the Village. “We’re working with the owners of 1020 Prospect St. in an attempt to acquire the building to convert it to a high-end hotel,” said Adolfo Fastlicht, a La Jolla resident representing Napa Valley-based Solage Hotels and Resorts. “We want to build 60 hotel rooms and incorporate a wine gallery with front and back outdoor dining, a pool and a bar, and fire pits on the rooftop.” Fastlicht said the new hotel’s streetlevel lobby would be “very transparent,” allowing “the energy,

what’s happening inside, to pull you in.” He said one hurdle to be cleared concerns a change that would need to be made to the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO), the community’s development blueprint, which sets a limit on the number of hotel rooms allowed in the Village. “It’s a number you wouldn’t imagine, just over 600 rooms (right now). It’s nothing (compared to the need in town),” said LJVMA President Phil Coller, adding that the addition of a new, more modern and contemporary hotel would create “a different signature here.” When contacted for comment on the proposal, a representative of the Prospect Street building’s current ownership declined discussion on the proposal. Julie Matibag, of WSI Digital Marketing, pitched LJVMA’s board on Haute

Teacher’s trip to Tanzania connects students globally By Pat Sherman hen faculty at The Children’s School was considering options for their annual fund-raising project last year, kindergarten teacher Lisa Dutton came up with an idea: Send a teacher or two to a developing country to create a reciprocal bond with a “sister school.” The progressive, La Jolla-based learning institution’s Head of School, Brian Oliphant, and other faculty liked the idea so much they decided to send Dutton to Tanzania, South Africa for a week. While there, she connected with students and teachers at the Mbahe Primary School, delivering supplies from Children’s School students and establishing a relationship that she hopes will endure. Dutton and Oliphant envision eighth-grade students and other teachers at The Children’s School traveling there in the future. “For me, the biggest part and the purpose of my going was to see if it was a good fit for the

kids to even go — In preparation for and it really was,” the trip, students at said Dutton, who The Children’s ■ To read about Dutton’s experiences and traveled 36 hours School wrote letters view photos from her trip, visit tcsroom5. to get there. to their grade-level blogspot.com/p/tanzania-and-tcs.html While there, Dutpeers at Mbahe Priton blogged and mary School, inposted photos online regularly so that stuquiring about their culture — a correspondence dents could follow her trip day-by-day, includDutton envisions both La Jolla and Tanzania ing a visit to a local hospital where she delivstudents continuing. ered blankets for newborn babies made by stu“I could easily see them building friendships dents at The Children’s School. and relations with the students there, year afIn one entry, she recalled helping Tanzanian ter year bonding with students at their same students create Valentines and maps of Tanzania. grade level in another country,” Dutton said. “The children loved the map job, (but) During her trip, Dutton delivered two teamweren’t really sure what to make of the Valening duffel bangs full of clothes, blankets and tines and coloring,” she said. “We could tell school supplies for the students. that the children are used to being instructed In 2010 she spent a summer working at an on what to do, when to do it and how to do orphanage for deaf children in Kenya, which it.

Those are their supplies — nothing beyond that,” Dutton said. “They just never let go of that one pencil, because it was really their tool to education. … It just reminds me all the time of how lucky we are, and it’s just a pencil.” Oliphant said the trip was in line with the Children’s School’s global awareness program, which is embedded in its mission statement. Learning to be “respectful and appreciative of other cultures” is something he says will benefit students in an increasingly globalized workplace and society.

MTS says ridership rises as local gas prices soar

ome ladies of Las Patronas joined San Diego Fire-Rescue Chief Javier Mainar and firefighters at Fire Station 13 (809 Nautilus St.) on March 16 to mark the giving of a $32,484 grant from Las Patronas to the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation for purchasing 34 high-tech portable VHF radios. These devices will allow firefighers to better communicate with state and federal agencies during mutual-aid calls in the

region. Formed in 2006, the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation is a San Diegobased 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity. www.sdfirerescue.org.

More people are taking Metropolitan Transit System buses and trolleys as fuel prices continue to rise and more people reenter the workforce, the agency said According to MTS, there have been more than 3.6 million trips in fiscal year 2012 than during a similar period in 2011. Year-to-date ridership is up 6.4 percent for the entire system, with bus ridership up 7.1 percent (2.5 million more trips) and trolley ridership up 5.2 percent (1.2 million more trips). February ridership increased more than 7.5 percent over the previous February, setting a record in ridership for the month.“We are on pace to approach our record-high annual

ridership of more than 91 million trips that was set in our fiscal year 2008, which was the last time gas prices got to $4.50 per gallon,” said Paul Jablonski, chief executive officer of MTS. “At that time, unemployment was very low. If the price of gas and job creation keep going up, our ridership gains will grow.” MTS is already adding buses to routes that are at capacity in order to carry more commuters. The American Public Transportation Association calculates that the average twoperson household that gives up one car in favor of riding public transportation can save more than $10,000 a year.

From Teachers, A1 In addition, a school nurse’s schedule was cut back to three days a week and the remaining librarian’s schedule was cut to two days a week — meaning the library will only be open two days a week next year if the cuts are cemented May 15. “Back in the good old days we had a full-time librarian and a full-time librarian’s assistant,” Shelburne said. Across the state, layoffs were issued based on seniority. Shelburne first notified the teachers that he did not have enough money for their salaries in February, when he completed his budget for the coming school year. Some of those employees have received preliminary pink slips for the past two years. Though the layoffs were all rescinded in 2010, only some of them were rescinded last year, he said. “I don’t know how long we’ve been playing this horrible little dance,” Shelburne said. “You’d think after a decade we’d be safe from these draconian cuts.” Until recently, layoffs have only been given to employees who have taught in the district for four years or less,

Shelburne said. However, this year he gave notice to a teacher who has worked in the district for nine years. He fears schools like La Jolla High will lose bright, energetic young teachers who are dissuaded by the tenuous nature of California’s public education system. “Their lives are in chaos every year,” he said. “They can’t make any plans to buy homes, to get married or have children. Every year they go through the meat grinder. It doesn’t take too long to see it in their eyes.” Across the state March 15, parents and students held rallies on campuses to protest the cuts, blowing bubbles to send a message to state legislators — “Don’t Blow It.” Organizers with the statewide, parent-led organization, Educate Our State, are urging people to send letters to their state legislators, asking them to fully fund K-12 public education. Bird Rock Elementary School parent Marnie Fay said she has watched her fourth-grader’s class size increase to 36 students due to previous education cuts. “It’s impossible with 36 kids to really give them a

good education,” she said during the March 15 demonstration. “Our children are not going to get as much individual attention. The teacher is just trying to focus on the basics, but not every kid learns at that speed.” Bird Rock Elementary parent Mitch Brucker blamed a broken state government on the cuts. “I don’t think there’s any way we can really plan on being successful and competitive as a community or nation if we treat our school systems like a private business (where) we simply shed workers when the economy gets bad,” he said. Lisa Bonebrake, a member of the Bird Rock Foundation and co-chair of the La Jolla Cluster Association (which represents La Jolla’s five public schools), said the state is slated to lose as many as 20,000 teachers in the 20122013 school year. One in eight students in the U.S. is educated in California, yet during the 20082009 school year, California ranked 44th in the nation in per pupil spending, Bonebrake said. “California ranks near the bottom in math and reading

Bird Rock Elementary School fifth-graders Cavan Walsh, Jake Austgen and Preston Laos blow bubbles during the ‘Don’t Blow It’ event to protest state-wide teacher layoffs. Pat Sherman (scores),” she added. “Our current high school dropout rate is 30 percent.” Parent-run organizations such as the Bird Rock Foundation are increasingly picking up the financial slack. “Every year we have to raise the bar in terms of what we can raise at our school site through our foundation,” she said. “The district has cut out supplies, librarians, the arts — and these are all things that now parents pay for directly. “We want to encourage state legislators to pass a balanced school budget now that isn’t tied to some statewide ballot initiative in November that may or may not pass. We need to know those numbers way in advance so that we can plan for what our students need in September.”

In the spring of 1996, California Gov. Pete Wilson championed a class size reduction initiative to limit all kindergarten through thirdgrade classes to 20 students. Bernie Rhinerson, San Diego Unified School District’s chief of staff, said the average K-3 class size is expected to rise to 30 or 31 students next year — up from an average of 24 this year and 20 the previous year. (By comparison, La Jolla Country Day School classes max out at 20 students, and are usually smaller). Rhinerson said some of the pink skips could be rescinded by the May 15 deadline if representatives for the San Diego Education Association (the local teachers union) return to the negotiating table, though he said

no negotiations are underway at this time. The school district is currently facing a $120 million deficit. “When 91 percent of your costs are in personnel, you have to have concessions from employees or we have to do layoffs to balance next year’s budget,” he said. The school board has asked the teachers union to forgo raises planned for next year and to continue a five day per year teacher furlough that started last year. They may also ask the union to consider potential cuts to health insurance, Rhinerson said. District-wide, the cost of next year’s raises is $21 million and the amount saved by furlough days would be about $17 million.

Shores residents want a sign that says, ‘we’re here’ By Dave Schwab La Jolla Shores residents say they endorse erecting a “Welcome to La Jolla” sign at the community’s gateway, but hope it could be customized to acknowledge their neighborhood. Discussion on the La Jolla Community Foundation’s proposal to create a welcome sign across the pedestrian bridge on Torrey Pines Road at La Jolla Shores Drive with privately donated funds took place at the La Jolla Shores Association’s (LJSA) March 14 meeting. “I don’t object to a sign with La Jolla on it,” said Shores resident Patrick Mower, “but the ‘welcome to’ part leaves me cold.” He pointed out that other community monument signs, like Hillcrest and Normal Heights, have just the name. The Jewel’s proposed sign “doesn’t fit with other neighborhood signs,” Mower said. LJSA board member Mary Coakley expressed concern that the proposed sign did not mention La Jolla Shores. “It’s such a special community and merchants are concerned that people don’t know The Shores is there. Maybe they could put a sign with an arrow straight ahead for La Jolla (Village), and to the right for La Jolla Shores,” she said. The La Jolla Shores merchants are working on branding the Avenida De La Playa commercial strip as “a beach business district,” and have chosen a dolphin for their sign logo because “it’s a friendly symbol” and “kids love them.” The Shores merchants are also looking into putting small banner signs on light poles in the district to direct visitors to beach businesses. LJSA chair Audrey Keane said the “Welcome to La Jolla” sign, as depicted on LaJollaVoices.com, the new online community bulletin board hosted by the La Jolla Light, looks “big and neon.” She noted most negative comments shared about the sign say “it doesn’t convey the character of the beach,” or that “money should be spent elsewhere.” Keane questioned whether a welcome sign is best positioned “right on the bridge.” “Maybe the sign should be in the median and not up above,” added board member Janie Emerson.

Stock Market Matters March Madness: stock selection criteria for savvy fans and smart investors

By Scott Kyle, Chief Investment Officer at Coastwise Capital Group La Jolla Shores Association members Terry Winn-Kraszewski, Nanci Kirk, Mary Coakley and Barry Graceman. DAVE SCHWAB Board member Bernie Segal suggested, “Maybe there should be two signs, one saying La Jolla Village and one saying La Jolla Shores.” Looking at the bigger picture, Coakley said, “La Jolla Shores merchants are desperately trying to figure out ways to market their business district, so let’s think about what we’d like to see in a sign and bring some ideas to the next meeting.” When asked about the status of the sign project after the meeting, Phyllis Pfeiffer, Light publisher and chair of the La Jolla Community Foundation, said the sign is on hold pending further discussion. From the feedback received on La Jolla Voices, the respondents appear to be split on the concept of a sign with few in favor of the proposed design. “If the community decides it wants a sign with a different design, the Foundation can ask the donor if there is still an interest in funding the project,” Pfeiffer said. Bob Kelly, president/CEO of The San Diego Foundation, a philanthropic nonprofit fostering civic leadership, and the umbrella foundation of the La Jolla Community Foundation, noted that the climate under which community improvements are undertaken is changing. “In the past few years, private-public partnerships (to implement community goals) have become increasingly common as we experience city and state budget issues,” Kelly said. “It is important to remember that these agreements are partnerships to enhance the quality of life for San Diegans throughout the region.”

With the college basketball tourney in full swing – and millions of devoted fans pouring over bracket picks – it is a good time to discuss the topic of stock selection criteria. You often hear market commentators state that “It is a stock pickers’ market.” Unless you are buying thousands of publicly listed securities throughout the world, by definition you are always a stock picker. But there are times when stock picking becomes even more essential to determine returns; we are likely now in one of those periods. Let us split the market into 3 buckets: wildly overvalued (think 1999), hugely undervalued (like March of 2009), and fairly valued. It is within this final market condition when stock selection becomes increasingly important to achieving superior returns. Opportunities arise when otherwise great companies temporarily falter and provide you the chance to buy this security at 10% - 20% less than the day before. It is like a micro-crash: rather than the whole market dropping, a given stock drops due to a non-fundamental reason, giving you the opportunity to pick up relatively inexpensive shares. But you need to have the ammunition – the cash – to take advantage of such scenarios. Also, you need to have a watch list of high quality companies. If your portfolio consists of 30 – 50 positions, you should have another 50 – 100 companies you monitor regularly: that way, if opportunity strikes and one of these companies makes the “% losers” list for the day, you will not be starting from scratch on your research. It is important to note that there is bad news, and then there is bad news. Sometimes stocks crack because the company is broken. In this case, you need to resist the temptation to purchase what may appear to be a bargain but may instead be a falling knife. This is usually the case when the news relates to things like restating financials or executive departures. Monitor the situation but don’t pull the trigger yet. There are often additional down legs to be had, especially as all the investment banks pile on their after-the-fact down grades, putting further near-term downward pressure on the stock. The scenarios I am referring to are when good companies falter on a short term basis. The reality is: it is always a stock pickers’ market. That is just a cute term financial commentators use when they want to look smart and have nothing meaningful to say about the overall market. However, after big run-ups like we have had nearly unabated since October 2011, where stocks in general are neither screaming buys nor shrieking sells, knowing how and when to pick up some shares on the cheap can be a good way to reduce risk in your portfolio and enhance returns. In the meantime, enjoy the tourney! The information in this article is strictly for educational and illustrative purposes and is not an attempt to furnish personalized investment advice or services.

Tar balls reported near Scripps Pier in La Jolla By Pat Sherman ocal photographer Greg Nelsen was running on the beach at La Jolla Shores March 14 when he encountered black blobs near Scripps Pier, which coated the soles of his shoes with a sticky residue. The tar balls — globs or lumps of solidified petroleum — were anywhere from fist- to plate-sized. Peter Lonsdale, a professor of marine geology at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, said there are three possible explanations for the tar balls’ appearance — including a fuel spill from a ship or a leak from an offshore oil-drilling rig. “There were oil wells in the 1960s off Oceanside,” Lonsdale said. “They were supposed to be capped, but they might still leak.” However, the most plausible explanation, he said, is that the tar comes from a natural seepage in the bottom of the ocean floor. It is a fairly common occurrence, Lonsdale said, and mostly likely the source of a deluge of tar balls that washed ashore on North County beaches in July of 2010. “You can’t tell from casual observation, but most of the ones that have been analyzed here turn out to be from a natural (source) — offshore seepages under the ocean,” he said. “There are a lot of natural seeps off California. This happens a lot in the Santa Barbara channel.” Lonsdale believes a similar seepage area exists on the ocean floor about six miles

Save the Post Office Task Force makes strides in preservation effort Task Force Options ■ Plan A: Save the post office as it is today. ■ Plan B: Community buys building with a not-for-profit organization. ■ Plan C: Find a sympathetic developer to keep the building for community uses.

Public Forum March 29 A ‘Re-imagining the La Jolla Post Office’ community meeting has been set for 6:30-8 p.m., Thursday, March 29 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The event will feature three or four expert panelists discussing alternative uses of the Wall Street building. state historical designation, said she’s been told by state postal officials that “we’re the only post office being considered for National Trust consideration as one of the 11 most endangered postal properties.” She said La Jolla's post office is a “poster child” for preservation. Davis said the task force has three plans for the outcome of efforts to preserve La Jolla’s post office. “Plan A is to save the post office as it is today,” she said. “Plan B is for the community to own it with a not-for-profit organization. Plan C is to get a sympathetic devel-

building and relocate postal services elsewhere in the surrounding community. La Jollans are also concerned about what will become of the Post Office’s historic mural, an Earth-toned view of The Cove in 1935 and 1936, painted by the early modernist Belle Baranceanu (1902-1988).

By Dave Schwab The latest Save the La Jolla Post Office meeting (March 16) was all upbeat with reports that legislators have been engaged, a public meeting to “reimagine” what the Wall Street building could be has been set, and an application for historical designation that would protect the Depression-era building is on a fast-track for acceptance. “This was a very good week for us,” said Leslie Davis, interim chair of the La Jolla Post Office Task Force, whose representatives met with both Democratic Congresswoman Susan Davis and Republican Congressman Brian Bilbray last week. “This is a bipartisan issue and I got the sense of them working together,” said task force member Joe LaCava. Davis said the task force submitted questions for legislators to give to the Postal Service for answers, such as the financial justification for La Jolla’s Post Office relocation. It’s been estimated the post office building at 1140 Wall Street is worth about $3 million. The task force, comprised of a cross-section of community volunteers, has been working to counteract the U.S. Postal Service’s Jan. 9 announcement that the La Jolla Post Office is to be relocated and its building sold to raise revenue for the financially strapped federal institution.

glaries that occurred in Bird Rock on 5200 Chelsea St., 5944 Folsom Dr. and 5700 Waverly Dr. on Monday, March 12, Alan Alvarez of San Diego Police Department Public Affairs told La Jolla Shores Association on March 14 that the three incidents, which took place within 90 minutes, are believed to have been perpetrated by two or three African-American males who gained entry into the residences by breaking rear glass windows. “They stole jewelry and cash,” Alvarez said, noting the neighborhood mailman spotted what he believed to be the criminals’ vehicle casing the neighborhood. Alvarez cautioned residents to keep a look out for solicitors who don’t have permits to operate, or passersby who “aren’t your neighbors,” and for unusual vehicles that “don’t seem to fit” the type found in the area. “We had solicitors in the La Jolla Mesa area who didn’t have permits and were booked into jail,” Alvarez said. “We had mail thefts in that area, too.

Scientists ‘uncover’ lost Leonardo masterpiece

Research Report By Lynne Friedmann

Bone Disorder Sparks Autism Insights Children with multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) suffer from growths on their bones that cause pain and disfigurement. But beyond the physical symptoms of this genetic disease, some parents have long observed that these children also experience autism-like social problems. Now SanfordBurnham Medical Research Institute scientists report discovery of the molecular basis of these autistic symptoms in MHE children. While not all autistic children have MHE, nor are all MHE children autistic, studies involving mice with a genetic defect that models human MHE did show symptoms that meet the three defining characteristics of autism: social impairment, language deficits, and repetitive behavior. After demonstrating the MHE link between skeletal de-

formities as well as social and cognitive problems, researchers then went on to define the cellular, molecular, and physiological basis for these symptoms. n The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. http://bit.ly/ykDKBl ‘Nanotrees’ Harvest the Sun Electrical engineers are building a forest of tiny nanowire trees in order to cleanly capture solar energy without using fossil fuels and harvest it for hydrogen fuel generation. The team from the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering say nanowires made from abundant natural materials like silicon and zinc oxide offer a cheap way to deliver hydrogen fuel on a mass scale. The trees’ vertical structure and branches are keys to capturing the maximum amount of solar energy because they can grab and adsorb light while flat surfaces simply reflect it. The 3D branched, nanowire array uses photo-electrochemical water-splitting to separates water into oxygen and hydrogen in order to extract hydrogen gas to be used as fuel. This process uses clean energy with no greenhouse gas byproduct. By comparison, the conventional means of producing hydrogen relies on electricity from fossil fuels. n Reported in the journal Nanoscale. http://bit.ly/xG1vO0 — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

vidence uncovered in Florence, Italy supports a theory that a lost Leonardo da Vinci painting resides behind a superimposed mural. At stake, is confirmation of the painting “The Battle of Anghiari,” commissioned in 1503, and considered by some as one of da Vinci’s most significant works. An endoscopic probe, fitted with a camera and inserted through a wall, allowed researchers to view the existing mural and obtain samples for analysis. While not conclusive, chemical analysis suggests the da Vinci painting, long assumed to have been destroyed in the mid-16th century, lay behind a Giorgio Vasari’s mural titled “The Battle of Marciano.” Supporting evidence includes: 1. A sample showing a chemical composition similar to pigment found in brown glazes on Leonardo’s “Mona Lisa” and “St. John the Baptist.” 2. The presence of flakes of red material unlikely to be present in an ordinary plastered wall.

3. A beige material seen on the original wall that could only have been applied by a paintbrush. 4. Confirmation of an air gap that suggests that Vasari may have preserved da Vinci’s masterpiece by building a wall in front of it before executing his later mural. Research was led by the National Geographic Society and UC San Diego’s Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture, and Archaeology (CISA3). CISA3 is based at the UCSD division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2). n More information at http://bit.ly/y0xd61

SIO geophysicist uses hundreds of underground sensors to watch Earthquakes ripple across the country By Claire Discenza hen a major earthquake hits, Scripps Institution of Oceanography geophysicist Frank Vernon watches resulting terrestrial waves flow across the middle of the United States, bounce off of mountains and oceans, and return after rippling around the world and back. Vernon presented his work on earthquake mapping at the March installment of the Jeffrey B. Graham “Perspectives on Ocean Science” lecture, hosted by the Birch Aquarium. In his talk titled, “Seismic Networks and Arrays: Observation from Near and Far,” Vernon gave an overview of EarthScope, a National Science Foundation project studying the causes and propagation of earthquakes across North America. As part of EarthScope, Vernon and his team are working with the Array Network Facility (ANF), a group charged with deploying and managing some 400 portable broadband seismic stations to study movement of the earth’s crust underneath the United States. Starting in 2004, the ANF inserted its first stations in the ground along the West Coast. Each station records the movement of the Earth at millimeter resolutions, and lasts approximately two years before it is removed, recycled, and relocated farther East. In this way, a rolling network of seismometers is slowly migrating across the country, collecting real-time data along the way. The project will continue until 2013,

SIO Geophysicist Frank Vernon describes the worldwide effects of the Tohoku Earthquake in Japan last March. Claire Discenza

when the sensors are scheduled to reach the Eastern Seaboard. “With this seismic array, we’re getting great images, and a better understanding of the Earth’s crust,” said Vernon. “We can also take the raw data and use it to model how a rupture happens. This is the type of capability we’re developing — a better understanding of how earthquakes work.” During his talk, Vernon presented data collected from the array during major events worldwide. “After an earthquake, the whole Earth rings,” described Vernon, showing an

animation of the array data following the 9.0 magnitude Tohoku Earthquake in Japan last March. “Wave phases go around the world and wrap around 10, 20 times. It’s pretty astounding in a large earthquake.” In the animation, an arrow at each of the stations displayed the magnitude and direction of the crust’s movement after the quake. “We don’t just measure the up-down movement of the Earth, but also back-forth and East-West,” Vernon explained. He and his team were able to study the two different types of perpendicular surface waves emanating from Japan, and watch as they formed swirling and rhythmic patterns of motion across the array. Vernon’s team also looked at local earthquakes, and examined how the waves make their way back to the epicenter. “In a perfectly homogeneous world, energy goes around and comes back and re-phases together in exactly the same spot,” Vernon said. Yet this did not occur — when the waves returned from their circumglobal journey, they

collided in a slightly different location. “I guess we don’t have a perfect world after all,” he quipped. The team encountered many surprises and unexpected earthquake hotspots as the sensors moved across the country. “We saw a sequence of events in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. Who knows? These are not things I expected to see. I expected it to be kind of quiet there.” While the ANF is in the process of recording seismic activity from the entire country, other EarthScope and ANF subprojects are exploring detailed movement of the West coast states where most U.S. epicenters are recorded. In particular, the Cascadia project is looking at activity along the Cascadia Fault Line, which extends from Vancouver, Canada to northern California. “A major earthquake is something we don’t want to see in our backyard,” said Vernon. “Unfortunately, there’s an opportunity in the Cascades.” During the question-and-answer period following the talk, one audience-member asked: “If you were sitting at the table with the president of the United States, what would you advise that he do as far as putting in nuclear power plants?” “Don’t!” Vernon replied. “You can’t say there’s any place devoid of earthquake possibility in the United States. Make sure you understand and assess potential dangers. I’d definitely not want to be building plants right next to faults.”

COURTESY FROM VILLAGE PROJECTS, A1 La Jolla Nights, a proposed weekend-evening series of events using music and the arts to spur shopping. “The intent is to bring foot traffic to the merchants on Prospect, Pearl and Girard by partnering with the arts community,” Matibag said. “We would bring in five or six musicians and ask merchants to have displays and activities outside their stores.” For example, Matibag suggested a clothing store could have a runway show, other businesses could offer giveaways or cocktails and appetizers. Preliminary plans call for Haute La Jolla Nights to be held Saturdays on June 9, July 28, Sept. 15 and Nov. 3. More details will be forthcoming at future LJVMA meetings, Matibag said.

“It will create focus and a center for the Village, as well as a spectacular view,” said Coller. In other LVMA news: n Several bylaw changes were ratified. Directors’ terms were altered to three, twoyear stints rather than two, three-year ones. Directors must attend mandatory Brown Act training. Directors may appoint an impartial inspector from its members and directors to ensure fair group elections. n Tom Brady recapped developments on a Village valet master plan. He said parties are meeting to draft a survey that will be sent to merchants, property owners and businesspeople on Prospect Street from Cave Street to Herschel Avenue. “We want to get their input before we make a recommendation to the city on the application for new valet parking places in front of the restaurant going in at Ivanhoe and Prospect,” he said.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Let the Men in Black take you for a ride By Marti Gacioch Men in Black wants to take you for a ride — to San Diego Airport or a wedding, prom or party of your choice — in a stretch limousine or luxury sedan. After opening Men in Black, their high-end transportation service in 2009, co-owners/brothers Selim and Umut Aslan, worked hard to grow their business to the 15 employees and a fleet of 11 luxury vehicles it has today. The pair learned the limousine business by working for another San Diego limousine company for three years. “While working there we recognized a lot of flaws and realized how we could run a company with better practices,” Selim Aslan said, “so we decided to start our own business that would provide a cost-effective service.” The brothers work as a team with Umut handling the marketing and Selim, an SDSU (San Diego State University) management student, doing the accounting and management. The owners are proud of their expanding fleet, which comprises seven luxury sedans, Lincoln Town Cars — including a new Lincoln MKZ — as well as Chrysler sedans, an SUV, and two Lincoln stretch limousines. Their largest stretch limousine (180 inches long) carries up to 14 passengers. Always seeking ways to improve their business, the Aslans are now in the process of upgrading their fleet by buying more fuel-efficient vehicles like the Lincoln MKZ sedan, which gets

Athenaeum hosts Beethoven memorial marathon Monday

Local violinist Victoria Martino and Los Angeles pianist James Lent will perform Beethoven’s complete sonatas for violin and piano on March 26. Lonnie Burstein Hewitt

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Beginning at 7 p.m. on March 26, the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library at 1008 Wall St. will host a marathon that’s not just another race-to-the-finish. It’s a tour-de-force concert by two gifted musicians performing all 10 of Beethoven’s sonatas for violin and piano on the 185th anniversary of his death. Violinist Victoria Martino and pianist James Lent have been training like athletes for this very special event. Not that they’re strangers to marathons. Their first experience, in 2006, was a Mozart Marathon (26 sonatas, eight hours) on the composer’s 250th birthday. Four years later, on Schumann’s 200th birthday, they did a Schumann Marathon, and a pair of marathons (on baroque violin and organ) to celebrate the 325th birthday of J.S. Bach. The Beethoven memorial marathon will run a mere 3-1/2 hours, less than half the playing time of the Mozart, but Martino calls it their most ambitious project yet. “It’s like climbing Mt. Everest,” she said. “It makes the Mozart

seem like a breeze.“ According to Martino, Beethoven is technically, musically and intellectually more demanding than Mozart. “With Mozart, you’re swept along on some ethereal plane,” she said. “Even after eight hours, we’re so invigorated, we think we could do the whole thing again. But Beethoven expresses the full panoply of human emotions, and there isn’t one note where he doesn’t indicate exactly how he wants it played.” Martino, who was raised in La Jolla, has had a long and varied career on three continents. She has been playing with Lent, who has a doctorate in performance from Yale, for seven years now, and calls him one of the most sought-after collaborative pianists in Southern California. Not many musicians, she says, could handle a musical marathon. “It’s really a spiritual experience, a full immersion into the mind of a genius,” she said. “As a performer, I basically try to be completely transparent, and give the composer a chance to communicate di-

rectly with the audience.” Beethoven, a fine violinist as well as a pianist, dedicated the first three sonatas to Antonio Salieri, known to most of us from the film “Amadeus.” Salieri was one of Beethoven’s classical mentors, which also included Haydn. “These 10 sonatas are an overview of Beethoven’s development as a composer,” said Martino. “They give you the best of all possible worlds.” Besides being a Beethoven memorial, the concert is a memorial to Martino’s father, Jim Phelan who died last June, her greatest and most personal musical influence. It’s also a memorial to several friends Martino has lost in the past few months. “Working with Beethoven is a constant reminder of the indomitability of the human spirit,” she said. “There was so much suffering in his life, and he put it all into his music. But there’s always hope too, and the last sonata ends with a burst of unconquerable joy.” Tickets $30-$35 at (858) 454-5872. www.ljathenaeum.org

Our Readers Write

Proud to be part of the bird recovery program As you well know most of my emails have been about climate change. Today, the subject is the ban on DDT and the recovery of four magnificent bird species; the bald eagle, osprey, brown pelican and peregrine falcon. Phil Unitt in his book, “San Diego County Bird Atlas” (2004) reports that all four species are recovering from the extensive use of DDT. With the Federal ban on DDT in 1972, that recovery began. With the introduction of hand-reared birds, the recovery continued and strengthened. Today, for the first time since 1936, a bald eagle pair is nesting successfully in San Diego County. Ospreys increasingly are building nests, one even on the mast of a boat in a local marina. And, anyone who goes to the beach will be impressed with the scores of brown pelicans that regularly soar on the updrafts. Earlier this month while watching (intermittently, I will admit) the seals at the Children’s Pool and reading, I saw a peregrine fly in, and after four or five passes, capture a pigeon and fly off to the north, presumably to a nesting site. It was especially significant to me as I helped form the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), the organization that is most responsible for the ban on DDT. Today, in a building across from the EDF office in San Francisco there is a peregrine falcon’s nest. The link below leads to a page on EDF’s website and a click away from the image transmitted by a camera that has been documenting this nesting pair for nearly a decade. The camera has been placed and is maintained by the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group. While one is lucky to see a peregrine falcon at the Children’s Pool, you are guaranteed a view of the pair nesting in San Francisco. This pair now has four eggs with hatching due sometime later this month. Please watch both online and

at the Children’s Pool for peregrines and enjoy the remarkable recovery of the other three iconic species. It is, indeed, a time of rejuvenation. Art Cooley, La Jolla

An open letter to Mayor Sanders, city council My husband and I have a condo here in San Diego, as well as a home in Boston. For every spring trip we make to San Diego, we see the condition of the seals has not improved. Visitors are encouraged by a number of people, who are obviously hostile to the seals, to cross the rope and get so close as to drive the seals into the water, with impunity. The seals in the Children’s Pool indeed are pitiable to see, having to flee human encroachment, getting ensnared with fishing lines and hooks, and suffering open gashes from collision with motorboats. Whereas, in Massachusetts near Cape Cod, people volunteer to rescue dolphins, seals and turtles. People there have great respect for ocean animals that are a treasure to the businesses for the money tourism brings. Cape Cod has a similar ocean environment and marine mammals visiting the beaches, and yet the attitude of the visitors of Cape Cod and La Jolla could not be more disparately apart. For this comparison, it is ever more mind boggling for some visitors to La Jolla to see such inhumane and cruel treatment of your marine life. I am absolutely sure that San Diego’s economy depends a great deal on the richness of your seascape and ocean life that generates much revenue for the city. And yet, the city legislators cannot make up their minds for more than a decade to preserve this economic asset. What you could have achieved is to build at the Children’s Pool, a visitor’s center like that at Point Loma, where telescopes are installed on

the deck for visitors to observe marine mammals and birds, and to wander and rest. A lifeguard tower could have been built above with restrooms at the bottom. This visitor’s center would have made enough profit to help pay some of your lifeguard’s salaries as well as the cost of a modern lifeguard facility. Health risks aside, the existing lifeguard facility is also cramped. And lifeguards, having UV rays reflected off the water on their exposed skin, sit under a small umbrella, out on the cliff day in and day out. How do San Diego legislators justify their inaction? Do the city leaders have any plans for the future of Children’s Pool? Those portable toilets emit a strong, sickening odor on a busy day when they are brimming full. Is this really the best the city could do for such an attractive oceanfront property? Shouldn’t the lifeguards who perform heroic deeds regularly, rescuing swimmers in trouble, deserve better from the city? Agnes Hancock La Jolla

Keep the sign tasteful

Thanks for proposing signage at the footbridge. We in La Jolla appreciate all efforts to improve our community. The electric sign might be a good idea if it is small and tasteful or perhaps a no-light sign. Most impressions of La Jolla seem to be reserved and we need to think twice about large signs — for example the Beverly Hills (Hollywood) sign. We don’t want people to think we are Las Vegas or Coney Island. Would this interfere with the annual holiday lights sign in the same location? Thanks for suggestions and desire to financially contribute. William Dunne Editor’s note: The Light has been advised that the annual Season’s Greetings sign would appear above the proposed Welcome to La Jolla sign during the months of November and December.

La Jolla Country Day student works to ban shark fin trade By Pat Sherman While exploring nature videos on YouTube one day, La Jolla Country Day School fifth-grader Max Guinn discovered footage of fishermen slicing the fins off of sharks, then throwing the sharks back in the ocean to bleed to death. “He was profoundly disturbed,” said his mother, Susan Guinn. Shark finning, a widespread, lucrative and largely unregulated practice has increased in the past decade due to an increased demand for the delicacy, shark fin soup, which is served at Chinese weddings and banquets. The soup costs upwards of $100 per bowl. Also sold in dried form for its purported medicinal properties, shark fins can fetch more than $500 per pound. In October Gov.

Understand the ‘seams’ where nature, development come together Guest Commentary

By Tony Crisafi President La Jolla Community Planning Association

As expressed in the La Jolla Community Plan, the people of La Jolla value “the delicate relationship that exists between [their] community, its coastline, bluffs, hillsides, and canyons.” Residents, commuters, and visitors experience this delicate relationship in the images of the coastline, village aerials, hillsides, and Mount Soledad. North of La Jolla Shores, hikers, cyclists, and hang-glider pilots benefit from the open system of dramatic canyons, bluffs and mesas. Numerous beaches, shops, and restaurants attract a mixed crowd of locals and guests year round. The ocean and coastline of La Jolla are as powerful and wild as the Sierras. They offer dynamic visual and olfactory experiences through the ebb and flow of the tide, foggy mornings giving way to sunny afternoons, and the reflection of the moon on still water in the evening. Paris may prize its towers and arches, Rome its venerable architecture, but La Jolla has its own natural treasures both ancient and beautiful.

A scene from the cliffs along the Coast Walk. As we integrate these historical treasures with our roads and infrastructure, buildings, gardens and recreation areas, are we truly aware how delicate that balance is? The natural and manmade aspects of La Jolla come together like a seam in an article of fine clothing. The seams of even the finest garments are usually first to show wear after years of enjoyment and first to fail with age, sudden impact, or fatigue.

Susan Demaggio

In La Jolla, the stresses created by two different environments converging continue to show signs of wear and tear. Consider the hillsides where irrigated and developed private property interface with natural, open spaces and designated parks. Take a trip to view the slopes above the Fay Avenue bike path. These natural hillsides meet in stark contrast with a single-family development on the ridge above.

The seam of lush, relatively wet, privately irrigated land and the semi-arid natural hillside is readily visible from La Jolla Boulevard and other public vantage points above and below. Is this the delicate balance that the community values? Should it allow new development to wall and reinforce a seam in order to protect the natural and man-made environments from each other? Consider the effects of winter storms, summer brushfires, and other natural occurrences in an increasingly unnatural setting. Each redevelopment has the option to pursue a line of isolation and reinforcement along its boundary. Alternatively each one can weave into the natural system and supplement the delicate balance that the community values. This may be the answer to creating a holistic and powerful intersection of aesthetics and functionality. I believe that the community and visitors of La Jolla prefer a balanced approach. This is why La Jolla is chosen as a place to visit, live, and work in over other communities in San Diego and Southern California. The goal of balance is why your trustees and community volunteers dedicate their time to land-use review every month, year in and year out. Support a strong, nuanced, and thoughtful approach to redevelopment for a creative and unique La Jolla. An approach that offers to protect private property rights and preserves La Jolla’s natural resources. This approach will serve the community best by providing enduring value to those who enjoy her beauty.

The Torreys defeated Serra (Gardena) 46-36 last weekend in the Southern California regional final. Country Day advances to the CIF Division IV championship and will play Salesian (Richmond) on Friday. In the 10-point win against Serra, the Torreys’ Kelsey Plum was just too much for Serra to handle. The junior went for 23 points on the game. “Stopping Plum was one of our goals, but we didn’t get the job done,” Serra coach McKinsey Hadley told ESPN Los Angeles. Friday’s game against Salesian (31-4) is in Sacramento at the Power Balance Arena, home to the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. Tipoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.

UC San Diego’s Carlisle named All-American After leading UC San Diego to a recordbreaking season, senior point guard Chelsea Carlisle was named to the 2012 WBCA Division II All-America Team this week. Carlisle earned a spot on the 10-member first team for the second time in three years, becoming the program’s first threetime All-American in the process. The Agoura Hills native was an honorable mention selection as a junior last season. Carlisle led UCSD to an Chelsea overall record of 30-3 this Carlisle season, averaging 16.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.6 steals in 33 games. She shot a career-high 47.5 percent from the field and converted better than 40 percent from the 3-point line, also a career-best. Carlisle was named the California Collegiate Athletic Association’s Most Valuable Player for the second time in her career after leading the conference in scoring, assists and steals. She also directed the CCAA’s topranked offense as the Tritons averaged a league-high 78.9 points per game during the

regular season. Carlisle became UCSD’s all-time career assist leader with eight helpers in a convincing win over Cal State San Marcos on Nov. 25 and finished with a total of 575 assists for her four-year career. In addition to Carlisle’s honor, UCSD head coach Charity Elliott was recognized as one of eight 2012 Russell Athletic/WBCA Division II Regional Coaches of the Year on Monday. Elliott, who took home the honor Charity for the West Region, is now a Elliott finalist for the Division II National Coach of the Year award, which will be announced during the second annual WBCA Awards Show on Monday, April 2 in Denver. Elliott guided UC San Diego to a remarkable run in 2011-12 as the Tritons set both school and conference records with 26 straight wins to open the season. The Tritons earned the program’s first-ever No. 1 national ranking and spent seven straight weeks atop the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll from Jan.17 to March 6.

La Jolla Country Day baseball set for big year By Phil Dailey aseball season is upon us, and for the La Jolla Country Day Torreys, they have a season of high expectations. Despite the team’s record of 2-3 (as of Monday), the Torreys are looking to challenge themselves with tough competition with their early-season schedule. As well they should as the Torreys are coming off their best season in school history, winning the San Diego Section’s Division IV title last season, a 7-0 route of Francis Parker in the championship game. “There were some special seniors in that group. Especially from a leadership standpoint,” said head coach John Edman, now in his 13th season for Country Day. Two players from last year’s squad are now playing in college with Anthony Torres at Iowa and Austin Rooke, who is playing at Miami University Hamilton, in Ohio. This year’s team also has some top-level talent with seniors Sam Ayala, Ian Lutz as well as a junior class chock-full of playmakers. But despite the talent, this is a group that knows how to have fun together as well as understands when it’s time to get to work. “We got a great group of guys,” said Ayala, who will play baseball next year at UCSanta Barbara. “We all care about each other. We love to play the game most of all. We have tons of fun out here.” The Torreys are in the middle of an early-season

schedule that is going to challenge them well beyond what their conference schedule will. The team already played in the Aztec-Foothiller Tournament for the first time ever, facing teams such as Helix (last year’s Division II champion) and Eastlake (CIF Division I qualifier last season). Though they lost those two games, they were competitive with scores of 6-4 and 6-3, respectively. “They were good ball games,” Edman said. “But the good thing for us is that those teams make you pay

f you ask 10 parents and 10 kids about their Shetland experience (aka T-ball), you will get 20 different answers. It’s hard to put your finger on the magic of baseball when it comes to 4-, 5- and 6-year-old kids. For starters, there is a vast difference in skill and ability between a 4-year-old “daisy picker” and an older 6-year-old “slugger” — yet the goal of teaching the basics and enjoying the game remains the same. Last season LJYB accepted an invitation from the PONY Region to enter an all-star team into their annual tournament. “Shetland All-Stars — are you kidding me?” was the collective guffaw from most circles. Scheduling games around nap times was a reality. “They’ve been doing it in L.A. for years” we were told. The decision was made to give it a try, initially entering two teams of mostly 6-year old kids into the Memorial Day Tournament hosted by Tecolote Youth Baseball. Not only did the experiment prove successful, but the two La Jolla teams reached the championship game with the Red team edging out the Blue team in an exciting game. Heading into the summer PONY tournament, the two teams folded into one — mostly because of summer vacation schedules — and they proceeded to win the Section, Region and earned a berth in the PONY World Series in Los Angeles. It was an amazing experience for the players and their families, even if it was “two games and a BBQ” against the more experienced L.A. leagues. The lesson LJYB learned in all of this was the need to develop two groups of Shetland players in an age-appropriate manner that keeps them coming back for more, and better preparing the 6-year old players for Pinto baseball. The opportunity to “play up” for the most skilled players isn’t an option, especially when the Pinto divi-

sion is full with 7- and 8-year-old players. Shetland President Greg Hansen, a nine-year LJYB parent, coach and board member came up with the idea of splitting the kids into smaller teams with two levels of play — Majors and Minors. The first-year kids would stick with tee-ball and work hard on the fundamentals, keeping things light, fun and safe for everyone. At the same time, the 6-year-old players would use the pitching machine from the beginning, and work on making plays in the field that more closely resemble the Pinto experience. With the small team sizes (9 max), everyone gets more play time and are better engaged, hence learning at a faster rate and enjoying successes along the way. Rick Macdonald, head of player development for the league and manager of the Willis Allen team, added a number of “Sandlot Sessions” for the Shetland division designed to specifically enhance the Shetland players’ ability to hit, throw and run bases. It is still early in the season, but by all accounts, these three changes to the Shetland baseball experience appear to be working out well for the kids and their parents. n Shetland Majors teams and managers include: Bank of America Home Loans (Chris Circuit), California Bank & Trust (Mitch Yaruss), Donovan’s Prime Seafood (Marc Howard), La Jolla Playhouse (Jim Weaver), Makaira Partners (Greg Hansen), Party City (Mike Gibbs), SD Storage (Roy Clark), and Willis Allen Real Estate (Rick Macdonald). The Minors teams and managers are: Brockton Villa (Michael Cairns), Jersey Mike’s of La Jolla (Mike McBride), Kiwanis Club of La Jolla (Philip Boczanowski), Murfey Construction (Scott Murfey), and Scoma Pediatric Dentistry (Ellen MacLean).

From LJCD, A22 for your mistakes.” The team will head to Arizona this weekend to play in a tournament in Phoenix and the weekend after (April 2) is the San Diego Lions Tournament. In the past few years the Torreys have won their division (5A champs in 2011, 3A champs in 2010), but this year Edman and his squad will bump up to the Premiere Division. “We did it with the idea that we had a pretty good team and taking a loss or two — taking our lumps early on — was OK as long as we knew we were getting better,”

Edman said. “We have no light games in our schedule, and by design,” Edman said. “We have a lot of guys who want to play in college and this will definitely get them better. We also feel like this is a decently-talented group and we want to see how talented.” If nothing else, a tough schedule gets the team ready to for a run at another CIF title. “We know we’re gonna be ready,” Ayala said. “No offense to (Division IV), it’s great competition, but obviously in the higher divisions you get better competition and better pitching.”

Journalist Carol Olten becomes La Jolla’s resident historian Carol Olten was born in the Midwest and decided early on to be a journalist. She graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism with extensive studies also in art and architecture. A reporting and writing job with the San Diego Union newspaper brought her to California in the 1960s. She served as the newspaper’s film critic for 10 years and also wrote extensively about art and architecture. Olten currently is the historian for the La Jolla Historical Society and has written two books on La Jolla history. She resides in an historic home on Park Row originally built in 1908 by playwright H. Austin Adams, which is Carol Olten known as The Dreamery.

What brought you to La Jolla? A 1965 VW bug. It was my first car. I drove it to La Jolla on Easter Sunday, 1965, and decided I had to live here. I had moved to San Diego only a year earlier to work for the San Diego Union newspaper and had been living in Ocean Beach. But when I saw La Jolla it was love at first sight. What makes this area special to you? Its unique history, the topography of the ocean cliffs, the architectural diversity of the residential areas.

10 QUESTIONS What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I’d create more open space, clean up the streets and sidewalks, and get rid of some of the crow and seagull population that seems to be getting out of hand. Who or what inspires you? Mozart, Manet and the fresh ocean air after storms in February.

for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? My list would include Orson Wells, Frank Baum, A.S. Byatt, Nijinsky, Shakespeare, Virginia Wolfe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Ellen Browning Scripps. What are your five favorite movies of all time? Those are “Citizen Kane,” “Orlando,” “The Artist,” “Gone With the Wind,” and “Cinema Paradiso.”

Student entrepreneurs provide sweet charity with cookies

La Jolla Cultural Partners

By Marti Gacioch Business is a sweet one for enterprising Bishop School seniors and business partners, Giulia Dugo and Michelle Ramey, who founded Charity Cookies to Go in February. Their new baking business benefits such San Diego charities as the Ronald McDonald House, The Humane Society, and My Girlfriend’s Closet, which provides fashionable gently used clothing to disadvantaged girls. Dugo and Ramey said they organized and planned carefully before going public. They bought baking supplies in bulk with money they earned from babysitting and other jobs, and also borrowed from their parents. “We talked about our project to people we know at different San Diego schools and did fliers,” Dugo said. “Then Michelle took photos and designed our web page, and we designed our Facebook page and started taking orders online.” The baking partner’s online efforts have been a boon to marketing their desserts — cookies, cupcakes, miniature cheesecakes, cake pops and cakes. After taking orders, they schedule home delivery service for La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and downtown San Diego. “We only bake on certain days at each other’s homes, depending

on our schedules, so say we’ll announce online that we’re having a mobile bake sale on Thursday, and people can place their orders until Wednesday night; then on Thursday we deliver,” Dugo said. “Our orders come in through e-mail and we rely on Facebook and Twitter.” Dugo bakes some of her grandmother’s recipes, and Ramey uses family recipes as well, and they both enjoy the wealth of recipes on the Internet.

Charity Cookies to Go continues to thrive according to Dugo, who said they receive many positive responses and testimonials for their desserts. The partners donate 25 percent of profits to their chosen charities. “We’ve been on spring break the past couple of weeks, so we’ve been taking orders more frequently because we have more time,” Dugo said. “We’ve had a good response from people who never heard of having desserts delivered

to their door before, and we just delivered a huge order of miniature cheesecakes and vegan cookies.” Their inspiration to create Charity Cookies to Go came from Dugo’s success last year with Cookies for a Cause, her Girl Scout project focusing on teaching children at Ronald McDonald House how to bake. Then in February, Dugo and Ramey decided to expand their baking efforts to benefit additional San Diego charities. “We’ve gone through days where we just sit and bake when we don’t have school or events,” Dugo said, “but we really enjoy what we’re doing, so the time goes by quickly because we’re best friends and enjoy baking different things, making customers happy, and helping out the community.”

Cakepops

Because they’re still in school, every week is different for the bakers, but they devote 10 to 20 hours a week to their business, as time allows. “There’s been a lot of interest in what we’re doing across the country, so we may expand into a shipping segment,” Dugo said. College lies ahead for both students, and while they said they would like to continue their baking business, much still depends on where they’ll go to school. “We really enjoy what we’re doing now, and in the future we’d like to go into business, so this is a good way to start,” Dugo said. “But we may need to put the business on hold and pick it up later, and maybe down the road we may open a bakery or something.”

Golden Triangle Rotarians bring cheer to families in distress La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club members recently gathered at Ronald McDonald House to serve families whose children are undergoing treatment at Rady Children’s Hospital (lajollagtrotary.org). Community Service chair Diane Burch and charter member Frank McGrath organized more than 20 Rotarians to assist. The band California Cogs, comprised of Rotarians, provided entertainment. “Tonight we met a couple from Hawaii who have been here for three months while pediatric cardiologists performed a second surgery on their son,” said McGrath. In addition to serving food, waiting tables and filling the pantry with additional canned goods, La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club presented a check to Ronald McDonald House Charities for $750. “Our club serves more than 50 non-profit organizations in San Diego County,” said Burch, “and there is nothing like doing hands-on projects.” The Rotary’s 22nd annual benefit, Cheers For Charity, will take place on June 2. The fundraiser includes auction items plus wine, beer and spirit tasting from more than 20 local providers, along with food from more

What my (pathetic) life says about me

Let Inga tell you ...

’m always a sucker for those Internet and magazine self-help articles on the theme of “What your car/phone/hair style/electronics/wardrobe says about you” or the ‘How-To’ pieces: How to Land the Man of Your Dreams, How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner in One Day, or even How to Look Great Naked.

You know the ones. Catchy copy gushes breathlessly: “Your Audi screams fun and flirty! You’re a go-getting jetsetting trendsetter yearning for the wanderlust lifestyle! You were born to live on the other side of the pond. In your ideal life, Fridays would find you on your way to a weekend rendezvous with your Italian lover!” Now as a regular reader of these articles, the one thing I’ve noticed is that they never seem to reference my particular car or phone or electronics. I’m not sure why, but it irritates me beyond belief. I can only wonder, if they wrote about me, what would they say? What Your Car Says

About You: Your 2005 Corolla fairly screams Cheap Car! But the fact that this one actually has automatic windows says it is a huge step up from your Jetta. You were truly born without the car gene! Still, this is the first car you’ve ever owned that your husband doesn’t tell people belongs to the cleaning lady. Next time go wild and crazy and get a Prius! What Your Cell Phone Says About You: Like your car, it says cheap! Insanely cheap! It doesn’t even have a camera! The fact that it is a pre-paid minutes phone means it doesn’t have Internet either! It also fairly shouts, “I have no idea how to text! In fact, I’m not totally sure how to answer

it!” When your two-year-old granddaughter watches Yo Gabba Gabba on her iPhone, which she can operate herself, you ask, “What’s that thing called?” How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner in One Day: Photoshop, Baby! Heck, go for 50! What Your Wardrobe Says About You: You have a wardrobe? Did you age out of contention for “What Not to Wear”? Giving away the iron 10 years ago was a great feminist statement: You’re not about to wear anything that isn’t wash and wear. But eventually even wash and wear wears out! Yes, it really does! Are you going for Bag Lady Chic? How to Land the Man of

The clean and simple, yet modern decor in Smashburger is essentially the same at all 151 locations nationwide, with variations.

the goods. Smashburger’s signature words — “smash,” “sizzle” and “savor” — are boldly painted in red on antique-white space. Light, “middle of the road” music fits in with the casual atmosphere. During those idyllic, warm and sunny Southern California days, many patrons gravitate outside to the dog-friendly patio. They may lounge at tables underneath umbrellas while observing the activity at one of Del Mar Village’s busiest intersections, 15th Street and Camino del Mar. They can also catch a glimpse of the Pacific, just a couple of blocks away.

EXPERT ADVICE

FROM WALKS, B1 and you meet all these people from every walk of life.” Each year the group offers as many as 1,000 varied walks, most of them free or for a nominal fee. La Jolla resident Addie Scholfield began participating in the all-volunteer, nonprofit organization shortly after moving to California. “It was a wonderful way to get acquainted with the city and the people,” said Schofield, who participates in about two walks per week. “What I like is that you don’t have to make a reservation (for most walks). You just go when you feel like it.” Since it was founded, Walkabout International has organized more than 25,000 treks, covering more than 2 million people-miles, or the equivalent of walking around the equator more than 80 times, organizers say. The group also organizes some paid trips to locales in the U.S. and abroad. Past destinations have included Switzerland, Scotland, France, Mexico and Japan. The group has planned a trip to Hawaii in April. Detailed information about each month’s walks and meeting locations are posted on the group’s website, walkabout-int.org, or for a small annual fee members can receive a monthly newsletter in the mail. Schofield said her favorite walks have included those in Tecolote Canyon and at Torrey Pines State Reserve. She has also taken part in several of the group’s day

Kay Hughes, Walkabout founder Larry Forman and Walkabout trip leader Jane Zeer. Courtesy trips, including sojourns to the Anza-Borrego Desert and a tour of the late midcentury craftsman Sam Maloof’s home, near the Huntington Library. Schofield will help lead a walking tour of the La Jolla Cove area March 26, which culminates with a tour of Casa de Mañana retirement community, where she resides. “I like living at the Casa, but I also like having some outside friends,” said Schofield, who likes that the group plans “frugal” lunch outings with its walks, for those who are on a budget. Walker said her favorite excursions were those led by the late “Downtown” Sam Minsker (1927-2001), who specialized in tours of San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. A Walkabout tour on March 10 included a visit to Minsker’s grave at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, where participants paid their respects to the quirky tour guide who knew downtown like the back of his hand. “He did simple things,” Walker said. “There’d be 30 or 40 of us out there throw-

ing Frisbees around. People loved it. It brought you back to your childhood.” That trip also featured stops at the Tijuana River Estuary, Liberty Station, La Jolla Cove and the San Diego Cake Club’s annual show in La Jolla. Walkabout past president Dan Haslam has been active in the organization since he moved to San Diego in 2000. Haslam, who is purchasing a part-time property in Cap Cod, said he hopes to start an affiliate organization there. The group currently has affiliations with walking groups in Phoenix (Walkabout Arizona) and Los Angeles (Footloose). Walkabout has some members in their 90s, though the average age of walkers is between 50 and 70, said Haslam, who leads tours for the group. One of his favorites was a tour called the “Beautiful Stranger,” which included sites in Coronado and San Diego related to the supposed suicide of Kate Morgan, who died under mysterious circumstances five days after checking into the Hotel Del Coronado (and is believed by some to be the ghost haunting the property). “We went to all the sites downtown that were associated with the suicide, (including) the place where she bought a gun and the mortuary where her body was taken. Then we went to Mt. Hope Cemetery and used a map to find her grave,” Haslam said. “It was just a fun day … almost like a scavenger hunt.” Walkabout also includes a subgroup called TWEEBS (Tuesday Walkers Ethnic Eating Brunch), which ends each walk at an ethnic restaurant, from Korean to French. There are also slower, lower-impact walks organized for those in wheelchairs or who use walkers, as well as walks in which leashed dogs are permitted.

He’s convinced that with the help of new board members, special events, and an emphasis on technology, plus “crackerjack” executive director John Wilson at the helm, the museum will gain new visibility and renown.

Timken’s future, brings a broad base of experience to his chairmanship — and a commitment to make a difference in Balboa Park, which he calls the “heart and soul of San Diego.” Opened in 1965, the museum is the permanent home of the Putnam Foundation Collection, known especially for its European Old Masters paintings. Now, Wilson and the board are in search of a new painting to expand the collection, Zinn said. More imminent is the “Soiree Festive et Visionnement Prive” on Friday, March 23, that he and his wife of 44 years, Ellen, are co-hosting.

Real Estate

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas Preparing the outside of your home for sale The condition of your home’s exterior is the most important item when you are getting your home ready to sell. If the home does not have curb appeal, the buyers may just drive on by and never come inside to check out your other features. Here are some items that might help lure them in. 1) 2) 3)

Your house numbers should be easy to read and look fresh. If you have grass, mow it regularly, weed it and keep it watered. Overgrown shrubbery should be cut back to show off as much of the exterior as possible. 4) Touch up trim paint on doors, window frames and fascia. Power wash any stains on stucco, patios and walkways. 5) Make sure gutters and down spouts are in good repair, especially if it is the rainy season. 6) Repair any cracked or broken windows. 7) Inspect the roof for any broken shingles or missing tiles. 8) Fences should be mended and painted. 9) Wash all windows inside and out. 10) Clean your garage so that you don’t have to park in the driveway. 11) Haul away any clutter. Empty, broken flowerpots, old patio furniture and dead tree branches need to go. When you are done, step back and take a look. Would you want to see more of this house?

of Patrons of the Prado. But it was his role on the board of The Old Globe Theatre that really fired up his involvement in all things Balboa Park. He acknowledges not knowing much about theater when Lou Spisto asked him to join the board — or about art when asked to join the Timken board. “He said, ‘You have a track record in business turnarounds and running businesses, so you could chair our finance committee,’” Zinn recalled. When asked if he has expanded his knowledge of art since joining the board, he responded enthusiastically: “Absolutely.” His own preferences in art

tend toward Caravaggio — “one of my all time favorites” — and Canaletto. “What he finds most interesting about art is the “back story — where has it been, who framed it, why did the artist paint that subject at that time. … It makes the art come alive.” Soon, the Timken will become the first private museum to put its entire collection on an “app” that will enable visitors to take a photo of a painting that will link to an audio history and description of the work. Some other museums have similar offerings, but with this one “you won’t have to dial in the number. You just take a photo that shows where you are in the museum.” Other ideas for expanding the reach of the Timken include hosting more events like Friday’s soiree, or Mainly Mozart concerts and educational programs — more “stuff,” Zinn said, “to bring staid art to life.” When Zinn is looking for a little relaxation, he may be found on the golf course. He’s on the board of the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club and is a member of the La Jolla Country Club. He might also be sailing, scuba diving, playing tennis or practicing his Western riding skills — or traveling.

Torrey Pines Elementary families find physics is fun! Second graders Ryan and Cresent get a little help from dad on their sound machines.

ore than 250 junior scientists and their parents turned out for the second annual Torrey Pines Elementary School Fantastic Physics Family Science Night on March 2. The event was held in cooperation with the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. The evening was full of experiments and discoveries about science in our world. Families found out how fun physics can be — especially when they saw how scientific principles affect their everyday lives. Using hands-on investigations, participants explored air pressure, gravity, buoyancy, electricity, magnetism, motion, sound and light. Event organizers say it could not have been such a great night without physics teacher Martin Teachworths’ dedicated science team from La Jolla High School and Torrey Pines Elementary’s teacher/parent volunteers. — Cathy Isom, science teacher

The best age to start camp? As a simple but dependable guideline, a child is usually ready for overnight camp when he or she can successfully spend one night away from home with a buddy. On average, sleepovers start at age 8 or 9, as the social skills and independence that emerge in first and second grade provide kids with the confidence to spread their wings. For some, this might not happen until age 11 or 12 or later, but the bottom line is that one productive night away from home sets the stage not just for surviving but, in fact, thriving in a threeand-a-half and, yes, even seven-week session. This “rule of thumb” often serves as a benchmark for parents who might otherwise assume their children are too young for sleep-away camps. — americancampingassociation.com

and supported “Meals on Wheels” and encouraged others to do the same. As an avid sportsman, he especially enjoyed water and snow skiing, mountaineering, golfing, tennis and racquetball. Always a good sport, he made lifelong friends in every endeavor he undertook. He was quietly and deeply proud of his link to his North American Native ancestry by way of Pocahontas. A gentleman and philosopher, he had a very balanced sense of dignity, integrity and humility. Exceptionally loyal, supportive and positive, he was a gentle soul and also a man’s man. As a mentor to many he has helped us all to value the joy, humor and fun in life, and above all how to love.

Willard Vincent “Bill” Markey 1913 – 2012

Bill Markey, a La Jolla resident for 64 years, passed away on February 12, 2012. He was born April 4, 1913, in Brooklyn, New York, to Andrew Vincent and Maude Renaud Markey. Bill attended Public School 152 and Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, then finished his education at Webb Institute of Naval Architecture in the Bronx from 1931-1935, where he met his future wife, Florence

Baasch, whom he married in 1940. He remained a loyal supporter, friend and participant in Webb events, having attended his 75th reunion and Alumni Homecoming at Webb in 2010 as the oldest Alumnus. Upon his graduation from Webb Institute, Bill attended Yale University School of Engineering and obtained his Third Assistant Engineer’s License in 1936. During the next eight years including WWII he built ships for the Navy, holding positions as Quaterman Shipfitter, Hull Inspector and Assistant Hull Supt. at Sun Ship, Bethlehem-Sparrows Point, Baltimore, Maryland, and Consolidated Steel Corporation. Orange, TX. After WW II, he purchased and ran, Teche Steel Works, Inc., New Iberia, LA, where he built small Naval vessels under 100 feet. In 1948, Bill and his wife, Florence, moved to La Jolla. He managed apartments on Bon Air Street for three years during which time he participated with the La

Jolla Players Community Theater, the patrons for which included Ms. Caroline Cummins, Ms. William S. Kellogg, and Gregory Peck. In 1951, Bill bought Acme Ornamental Iron Works, Inc., in National City, which he ran as President for 27 years before his retirement in 1978. At Acme, he parlayed his shipbuilding skills into steel fabrication and participated as a subcontractor in the construction of many San Diego buildings, including the Aviary at the Wild Animal Park, Scripps Memorial Hospital, The Bishop’s School, Mr. A’s, and the San Onofre Power Plant. His favorite construction always remained his home on Country Club Drive and the Two-Headed Eagle at the Scottish Rite Center on Camino Del Rio South in Mission Valley. Bill donated the eagle after being a member of the first Scottish Rite class to be held in that building. Bill was a member of the La Jolla Masonic Lodge No.

518 for 54 years. He served as Master of the Lodge in 1964, and received the Hiram Distinguished Service Award in 2000. He was an avid and excellent bridge player, joining the La Jolla Men’s Bridge Club in 1948, where he served as President several times, organizing annual meetings and fund raisers to encourage new membership. After his wife’s death, Bill played duplicate bridge at the Soledad Bridge Club, the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club and Adventures in Bridge, eventually becoming a Bronze Life Master. Also, he was a Life Associate and 50year member of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Because Florence and Bill loved to travel, they visited many countries. After her death, Bill joined Global Volunteers Service Program to teach English to high school students in China, Thailand, Vietnam and Italy, even though

he was in his late 80’s. He also volunteered in the community by reading to pre-schoolers at the La Jolla Library and kindergarten at Pacific Beach Elementary. His strong sense of civic responsibility, commitment to bettering the community, and love of La Jolla led him to establish the Markey Family Grove of Trees, at the La Jolla Cove. Bill was known not only for his many accomplishments but also for being a true gentleman. He could be spotted a block away by his warm smile, beret and bowtie. He enjoyed people, young and old alike. He was always up for an adventure and showed a vitality and passion for life to the end. He will be profoundly missed by many. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 53 years, and two brothers, Milton and Richard. Survivors include one daughter, Melissa R. Markey of La Jolla, California;

nieces and nephews, Lynne and Hank Geib of Seattle, Washington, Nancy and Terry Comstock of Beaverton, Oregon, Caryl and Paul Morrell of Denver, Colorado, Jacquelyn and Leslie Collins of Warwick, New York, Joanna and Pete Christman of Oneonta, New York, John and Joanna Taylor of Phoenix, Arizona, Pamela and Mark Stutman of Yardley, Pennsylvania, and Sue and Steve Latus of Long Island, New York. Surviving grand-nieces and nephews include Suzanne and Dick Steiner of Severna Park, Maryland, and Christopher and Amanda Collins of Warwick, New York, among others. A memorial service will be held on his 99th birthday April 4, 2012, at 2:30PM at St James By-theSea Episcopal Church, 743 Prospect Street, La Jolla. Interment and reception will follow immediately.

By Scott Paulson In 2002, David Bowie made a surprising Stylophone confession: “It’s the only instrument I take on holiday with me to compose on.” In fact, Bowie’s 1969 album, “Space Oddity,” was composed entirely on a Stylophone. The small British company that manufactured the instrument (Dubreq) was surprised to hear this news, as it had originally invented and marketed the instrument merely as a musical toy. An exhibit of Stylophones — with items from the collections of UCSD grad student Sean Ryan, composer Pea Hicks, and UCSD Arts Library outreach coordinator and alumnus Scott Paulson — will be on display March 28-April 30 on the lower level, West Wing, of Geisel Library at UCSD. The exhibit will open with a free “concert” at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 28 featuring a premiere of works for Stylophone by Hicks. At 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 15, there will be a second premiere of a work for multiple Stylophones by Paulson. Invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis, the Stylophone is a pocket electronic musical synthesizer. The little instrument was presented as a novelty electronic organ with an iconic transistor radio look. A small pen (or stylus) was attached to the unit, and touching the metal tip of the stylus upon the engraving of a flat piano-like keyboard, allowed single notes to be played. The limited aspects of this single note action made the Stylophone a popular musical toy for amateurs. A 1968 British television show hosted by novelty songwriter Rolf Harris was the

Harris’ image was often featured on the packaging that one received after placing a mail-order for the instrument. The earliest models had no volume control, a flaw that was later addressed. The Stylophone was re-launched in 2007 by Ben Jarvis, son of the inventor. The retrolook of the instrument is intact, as well as the simple, charming, naïve functions. While the Stylophone is probably not the world’s greatest little musical instrument, it has a lot of charm in small doses.

It’s worth a trip to The Old Globe to meet Anna Christie

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

Bill Buell (Chris Christopherson) and Jessica Love (Anna Christopherson) on the engaging set of Eugene O’Neill’s ‘Anna Christie,’ at The Old Globe Theatre. Henry DiRocco

ugene O’Neill’s, “Anna Christie,” which won the author his second Pulitzer Prize in 1921, has played on numerous stages over the decades, but the version at The Old Globe Theatre this month, may be the best place to see this heartfelt story yet. Anna, a motherless girl, estranged from her father, has survived, though in unpleasant ways. After ending up in a hospital, she decides to find her father, a crusty old sailor who captains a coal barge. Chris Christopherson is delighted to reacquaint with Anna after 15 years, and despite her reluctance, persuades

her onboard to recuperate. O’Neill seasoned the character of Chris to perfection. Perhaps that’s because O’Neill himself lived in a flophouse above a bar and got a real insight into the sailors who came through the door. Actor Bill Buell inherits O’Neill’s vision of Chris with distinction. He shifts between a robust sea-faring mariner who would rather drink than eat, to a guilt-ridden father who can’t hide his joy that his “angel” is home. Buell does an incredible job of handling the brogue of his character and tosses out the line “that old devil sea” — which he blames on anything bad that has happened to him — like he was born saying it. His mannerisms are spot-on, like when he’s serious about something and his furrowed brow settles his left eyebrow just a tad further down his face than his right brow. Shortly after Anna is aboard, a group of stranded sailors are rescued from their lifeboat. One is Mat Burke (Austin Durant), a

If you go ■ What: ‘Anna Christie’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings through April 15 ■ Where: Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre at The Old Globe Theatre, Balboa Park ■ Tickets: From $29 ■C ontact: (619) 234-5623 TheOldGlobe.org strapping, abrasive sailor who clings to Anna on the deck like he’s found the best thing since canned tuna. She, of course, is instantly appalled coming off the trauma of being groped to survive. Chris is all over Mat, instantly shielding Anna and setting the rules Mat must follow to stay on board. Actor Durant fills the boots of Mat well. His few tender moments are believable, and the one problem I had toward the end where he berates Anna way too many times about her former life, is a script problem, not

one of Mat’s doing. Kristine Nielsen drew loud applause for her role as Marthy, Chris’ drunken girlfriend who lovingly gives up her spot on the ship for Anna. Jessica Love doesn’t quite measure up in her portrayal, I never felt she was Anna; she always seemed to be an actress delivering her lines. She lacked emotion in some of the pivotal moments of Anna’s story, particularly in the later scenes when she suffers so many angry blasts from Mat, but seems willing to bend her life once again just to be loved. Wilson Chin’s scenic design is so authentic playgoers will think they are actually aboard the barge. From the inventive rope work, and the transitions from bar to ship, every scene is transporting. The fog easing in eliminates any thought that one is setting in a theater, and the sound design by Paul Peterson of the sea, bells and horns add to the realism and enjoyment of “Anna Christie.”

REAL ESTATE

Tight supply hints at higher home prices By Rich Toscano Voice of San Diego The supply of San Diego housing for sale has abruptly tightened, reaching levels that have historically portended of near-term price increases. I’ll discuss that more below, but first, let’s look over the February resale data. The median price per square foot for San Diego resale homes was mixed — up 2.0 percent for the month for single-family homes, and down 4.3 percent for condos. Overall, prices by this measure were up by .3 percent in February — close enough to flat. Closed sales were also pretty close to flat, which is unusual for February, which usually sees a drop. And pending sales rose to a level higher than in any recent Februaries past. The real story, however,

was in inventory. The number of homes for sale fell — also unusual for February — to a level 20.5 percent below a year prior. Housing supply is even tighter than the above numbers would indicate, as the amount of “contingent” inventory (typically short sales or foreclosures that have had offers accepted but not yet approved by the lenders) has been growing. Since contingent properties are effectively off the market during the time they are contingent, more of this type of inventory means less inventory actually available for buyers. This latter type of property — “active” inventory — is actually down 33 percent from a year ago. The number of months’ worth of (total) inventory dropped to 3.8 months. This is very low compared to recent years.

HOME OF THE WEEK Bright and Elegant Gated Community

Months of inventory is an important statistic. In the chart above, inspired by the economics blog Calculated Risk, the blue line tracks months of inventory (inverted, so that the correlation with price changes is more obvious to the eye). The red line shows the annualized monthly change in

home prices (according to the Case-Shiller index, and then my estimate of the Case-Shiller index for the most recent two months). It’s clear that there has been a good correlation between months of inventory and home price changes. In addition to the directional similarities, there appears to

have been a dividing line of about 6 months’ worth of inventory (the thick black line) that tended to separate periods of price increases from those of price decreases. The relationship has only really broken down twice over this time period. The first was in late 2008 and early 2009 when inventory got a lot tighter, but prices continued to plummet. I theorized the following previously: “There is an obvious candidate for this discrepancy: the fact that the economy was more or less imploding during that same period. The economic turmoil was so bad that even a reduction in inventory couldn’t staunch the price decline. But prices did eventually make a bit of a catch-up move to the upside in mid-2009 after the crisis had receded.” The second and quite a bit less dramatic breakdown

has been underway since mid-2011. Despite inventory remaining under 6 months, prices have been steadily declining. It’s possible that the preponderance of foreclosures and short sales (perhaps helps along by higher unemployment and subdued economic growth) is keeping prices lower than they otherwise would be at similar levels of supply. Now, though, inventory has dropped even lower (gone higher on the inverted chart), and these factors may not be enough to keep prices in the doldrums. The estimate for February’s CaseShiller index (assuming it turns out to be right — it is calculated based on the past three months’ median price per square foot change) suggests that prices may have stopped declining at least

FROM REAL ESTATE, B26 for last month. It’s worth noting that prior to the current period, prices have always been rising, and usually pretty fast, when inventory was at or below 4 months. Foreclosures and high unemployment were a big issue for most of that period, too. Inventory levels, as measured by the ratio between current supply and demand, say nothing about the longerterm prospects for housing, nor about exogenous factors that could come into play and change that ratio (the possibility of sharply interest mortgage rates is my favorite one to talk about). But the level of inventory can provide clues about price pressures in the months ahead. Should the rather dramatic tightness in supply persist, the nearterm pressure for home prices could be to the upside. — Rich Toscano is a financial advisor with Pacific Capital Associates.
