LJHS backers aim to ‘Conquer the Cuts’ BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer Expressing a firm belief that students shouldn’t have to feel the impacts of budget cuts, the La Jolla High School Foundation has launched a drive to raise $200,000 to “maintain the status quo.” Called “Conquer the Cuts,” the campaign formally began on Wednesday and is being headed up by foundation board members Beth Penny and Dana Irwin. The name, they said, does not symbolize that the school and students “are victims, but that they are conquerors.” Acknowledging that the students are in a generation that will continue to see reductions in spending

Farmers market plan draws residents’ ire BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Bird Rock residents packed the La Jolla Rec Center on Thursday, sharing concerns about the prospects of inadequate parking, traffic disruption and children’s safety if a farmers market is approved in their neighborhood. They let members of La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation board know how they felt if the market is allowed on Friday evenings in front of La Jolla Methodist Church. Following an hour-long discussion by those for and against the idea, the board directed event promoters to return with a more complete survey of residents’ opinions and concerns. The market has been proposed as a way to raise money for Bird Rock Elementary and Muirlands Middle schools.

BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer Muirlands T.Rex is extinct — for now. The fate of the mighty 14-foot-high T.Rex that for two years had prowled the estate at 1401 Muirlands Drive has been decided. “I’m afraid the T.Rex was recycled in an environmentally sensitive manner: mainly chain saws and the thing was hauled off to the dump,” said the anonymous owner of the much-beloved, metalsculpture dinosaur which has become a local landmark in its La Jolla neighborhood. “The gods did not seem to like our yard ornament.” After the terrible lizard was crushed by a eucalyptus tree a couple of months ago onto a fence during a storm, a decision had to be made on whether it should be repaired or recycled back into the fossil record. Though he opted for the latter, the owner of the late T.Rex said his decision to ter-

The T.Rex in The Muirlands, shown before it got crushed, is gone for now but maybe not for good. COURTESY minate the noble beast may not be final. “There could be a replacement — but not imminent,” he said, adding he’s not real popular right now with his 8year-old daughter who, along with many others in the community, had become attached to the prehistoric beast. “I’m starting to feel guilty,” the owner admitted. “I may owe the kids another dinosaur.” Should he ever decide to resurrect his prehistoric yard
display, the owner said he would likely opt for a different, more juvenile meat-eating dinosaur. “I’m thinking more of a velociraptor mode,” he said. “A neighbor suggested a theme, rather than just one large animal.” After the T.Rex was downed, neighbors expressed their feeling for it leaving cards, flowers and stuffed animals near it on the fence in a makeshift shrine.

BY KATHY DAY Staff Writer In one of his first acts as president of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association Phil Coller made a simple, but direct statement: “The more people who get involved the more we can do.” The group plans to seek a contract from the City Council to operate the La Jolla Business Improvement District, a role formerly held by Promote La Jolla. The district covers about 1,200 businesses in the Village. Coller, who owns Everett Stunz with his wife, has been a leader in pulling the group together and was elected unanimously. “There has been a lot of hard work by a lot of people — board members, business Phil Coller people and members of the community,” he said, adding that it’s now critical “for anyone involved to please approach others and get their involvement.” The 14 new board members and consultant Mike McLaughlin, hired by the city to help organize the group, were joined by an audience of about 20. Among them were two city staffers, Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, her aide Erin Demorest, and representatives of the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau. SEE MERCHANTS, A11

FROM MARKET, A1 Saying her opposition to a weekly market on the church site off La Jolla Boulevard had nothing to do with an attitude of “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBY), Candace Kane who lives on Beaumont Avenue said she supports the school “but this is too dangerous.” Noting Friday evenings are a busy traffic time and one of the worst to find parking in surrounding residential neighborhoods, Kane asked, “Why should it be in a residential neighborhood not designed for this type of thing?” Troy and Julie Cockrell, representing Bird Rock Elementary parents, and Christopher Smyezek of SD Weekly Markets, which would contract with the community to host the farmers market, answered neighbors’ questions and concerns. “The farmers market would have two purposes: first and foremost to raise money to offset budget cuts, larger class sizes, and supplement art, music and physical education at Bird Rock Elementary and Muirlands Middle schools,” said Troy Cockrell. “We also want a place in Bird Rock for people to shop and buy fresh produce at a local market.” Cockrell added the market is
A crowd filled the La Jolla Rec center meeting room to talk about the proposed farmers market in Bird Rock. DAVE SCHWAB meant to serve the local neighborhood only. He said he expects many patrons will walk or ride their bikes rather than drive cars. Julie Cockrell said she has a petition signed by 120 residents in Upper Hermosa who favor a farmers market. Several people who live near the church and spoke against the market said they were surprised to hear about it and were dismayed they hadn’t been asked for their opinions. Smyezek said the farmers market would be open from 2 to 6:30 p.m., have between 40 and 60 vendors and accommodate 300 to 600 patrons. They would like to launch it this spring. Following the meeting, Julie Cockrell said she wasn’t discouraged by opposition.
“When you truly believe in something for your kids and for your community, it outweighs the negative,” she said, adding robust discussion of issues surrounding the market “indicates we’ll work together to make this happen.” Cockrell noted safety concerns raised by people fearing for children’s safety around vehicles“is an issue regardless of whether there’s a farmers market.” Darcy Young, manager of the 10-year-old La Jolla Open Aire Farmers Market held Sundays at La Jolla Elementary School, said promoters were downplaying what it takes to stage such an event. “Our event fills two dumpsters full of garbage and we have a total of 420 parking spaces,” she said, adding “customers with heavy bags of oranges and arm fulls of flowers” will likely not be walking or riding their bikes to the event. Julie Cockrell said the market couldn’t be held at Bird Rock Elementary for several reasons: “You can’t have it on the school grounds on Fridays because school programs are going on until 6 p.m. (City) Park and Rec also told us you can’t close the Upper Field on a weekly basis because that’s public space that has to be open at all times.”
Questions raised on phasing of Torrey Pines Road project BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer The wisdom of breaking the $26.5 million Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project into four segments was questioned at a Feb. 24 La Jolla Traffic & Transportation Board meeting. “We should look at breaking the project down into much smaller — $1 million to $3 million — more bitesize pieces and actually get funding for those and take those on,” suggested Joe LaCava, president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association, the community’s advisory board to the city on land use. A Bird Rock resident, LaCava said slope stabilization and aesthetics would be his two highest priorities for the road improvement project. The T&T meeting was a follow-up to a Jan. 19 forum hosted by First District City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, during which city engineers laid out a conceptual plan designed to stabilize slopes, widen sidewalks, calm traffic and increase safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. On Jan. 19 the city proposed dividing the project up into four pieces: ■ Segment 1, Prospect Street to Coast Walk; ■ Segment 2, Coast Walk to Viking Way/Hillside Drive;
■ Segment 3, Viking Way/Hillside Drive to Little Street, and ■ Segment 4, Little Street to La Jolla Shores Drive. At that time city engineers also expressed a preference for which segment to do first — Segment 4, the entrance to the Village from La Jolla Parkway, which is the longest segment and least costly because it has very few retaining walls. Several people who live along Torrey Pines Road and others commented: “It doesn’t really matter what segment goes first, as long as we could just get a (traffic) light somewhere so we could cross to the other side of the road,” said Linda Sherman. “I’d like to see a big sign saying ‘entering a residential neighborhood,’ so people know they’re leaving a freeway,” said Kate Adams. “We’re suggesting at least one safe, lighted crossing giving pedestrians a protected crosswalk on this road,” said Leah Ostenberg, program manager for Walk San Diego, a nonprofit promoting walkable communities. “We also suggest having narrower lanes which would slow the traffic down.” No action or vote was taken by the traffic board which will continue discussion of the proposed project to its next meeting March 24.

Few hackles raised over University House project BY TERRY RODGERS Contributor As evidenced by the sparse turnout at a public hearing on Feb. 24, a proposal to revamp the long vacant official residence of the UCSD chancellor is no longer pushing many hot buttons. That wasn’t the case seven years ago, when historic preservationists and Native Americans became shocked and outraged over the university’s plans to demolish
the historic adobe home and build a mansion at the oceanfront site where the Kumeyaay once buried their dead. After getting heavy pushback from critics in 2004, the university took a step back and formed a community advisory council to help rethink the project. The result is a completely different approach, which is described in an inch-thick draft Environmental Impact
Report recently released for public review and the subject of the hearing attended by eight people at the USCD Faculty Club. The former plan to demolish the house has been abandoned in favor of an extensive remodel job that advisory board members say could end up costing between $8 million and $10 million. The cost will be high because the 1950s-vintage adobe house needs to be
made earthquake-safe by attaching the roof more securely to the walls. In addition, new utilities must be installed along with extensive drainage alterations and bluff stabilization to protect the clifftop property from collapsing onto the beach. The property also is situated on what is essentially an Indian cemetery. University officials emphasized that great care would be taken not to disturb the
numerous remains of Native Americans that are concentrated at the 7-acre La Jolla Farms property, which overlooks Black’s Beach. For instance, excavation needed to install a sewer line and to sink piers to support a retaining wall at the southern edge of the property will be dug by hand with a Native American monitor present in case any remains are unearthed.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month and on 3/26/2011 Ability Rehab will be participating in the 4th Annual Walk for Thought. This event is sponsored by the Brain Injury Association of California (BIACAL). It will raise critical funds for the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation and the Freedom House - helping them to continue their efforts to improve the quality of life for local brain injury survivors and their families. According to BIACAL, brain injury is not merely an event or an outcome but the start of a misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and under-funded neurological disease. Patients who sustain brain injuries must have timely access to expert trauma care, specialized rehabilitation, and lifelong disease management. They also require individualized services and support in order to live healthy, independent, and satisfying lives. The Walk for Thought is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together to help increase awareness and show our support for those who have sustained a brain injury. If you would be interested in joining our team please visit: www. calbia.org/calbia-events.htm, click on the San Diego event and search for “Ability Rehab.” Donations in support of our efforts can be made through our team webpage or by contacting our office. We look forward to giving back to our community and thank you in advance for supporting this important cause.

ney representing Carmen Lucas, a prominent member of the Laguna Band Indians, said her client supports the revised project but doesn’t feel the environmental report accurately reflects how, despite the extensive mitigation measures, the sacred site will still be disturbed. Some members of the Kumeyaay are still angry over previous removal of Indian bones from the site. They’ve asked the university to issue an official apology and to allow tribal members to hold a healing ceremony at the property, Coyle said. Don Schmidt, a representative of the La Jolla Historical Society, which fought to prevent the demolition, said his group was pleased with the project’s new direction but still had lingering concerns about preserving key features of the landscape. No one has lived in the home since 2004, when the house was deemed to be unsafe for habitation. Chancellor Marye Anne Fox receives reimbursement for university-related expenses for the home she and her husband purchased near Mount Soledad. Brian Gregory, an assistant vice chancellor who chairs the community advisory committee, said current plans are to pay for the project with donations.

In my opinion, there needs to be open dialogue between businesses and residents of La Jolla Shores. I believe the work of the LJSA is pivotal to maintaining these lines of communication, and I hope to be part of the open dialogue. Every day when I drive down Mount Soledad to work, I consider myself lucky.

Hair growth discovery a surprise Salk Institute researchers, investigating how Lynne stress affects gasFriedmann trointestinal function, may have found a chemical compound that restores hairgrowth by blocking a stressrelated hormone associated withhairloss. The compound’s effect was discovered entirely by accident. The experiment involved mice genetically altered to overproduce a stress hormone called CRF (corticotrophin-releasing factor). As the mice age, their backs become bald, making them visually distinct from control animals with which they are housed. Researchers developed a peptide called astressin-B and injected it into bald mice to observe how its CRF-blocking ability affected gastrointestinal tract function. After five days of injections, researchers realized they couldn’t tell the mice apart except for their ear tags. The bald mice had grown hair.
Research Report
The serendipitous discovery is described in the online journalPLoS ONE.News release at http://bit.ly/hOdUrW. ■ Two hearts beat as one The team from the UCSD Center for Transplantation performed a rare, life-saving cardiac surgery called heterotopic heart transplantation, in which the patient’s heart remained in place while a second donor heart was implanted.The patient, a Talmadge man, now has two beating hearts. In the procedure, the new heart ispositioned on the right side of the patient’s own heart. The donor and recipients’ left atria are surgically attached, allowing oxygenated blood in the patient’s original heart to flow to the new heart. It is then pumped by the new left ventricle into the patient’s aorta which brings new and increased flow to all parts of the body. The patient’s condition was such that he faced two surgeries — one to implant a ventricular assist device (LVAD) — and then months of recuperation before receiving a standard heart transplant. Having the heterotopic heart transplantation instead

FROM CUTS, A1
Other schools facing budget cuts,too La Jolla’s other public schools are facing similar challenges, even though principals say they won’t know the final impacts until later this spring. Their first look at their budgets included responding to the district’s request for each to present a spending plan for staffing and operations based on a per-student allocation. That’s different from the past when they were given the number of positions they would have, said Muirlands Principal Chris Hargrave. While Supt. Bill Kowba has presented his first recommendations to the board — which would include cutting 910 full-time positions among faculty, administrators, nurses and counselors —no action has been taken. The board will reconsider issuing layoff notices at its March 10 meeting. Even then, the picture is not complete as the governor issues a May “budget revise” and this year is proposing a ballot measure for tax extensions that could cut the deficit from a projected $120 million to about $63 million. Then, in late September, enrollment counts can also affect the number of teachers, depending on whether estimates are on target. Here’s a quick look at how cuts could affect two other schools, based upon the first “budget books” submitted by principals to the district office: ■ MUIRLANDS • Would eliminate one teacher/class sizes would rise in English classes • Would cut counselors from 2 to 1.5

positions, meaning an administrator would have to pick up some counseling duties since each counselor is limited to 500 students. • Would eliminate a half-time librarian/keep library tech • Would eliminate a half-time secretary • Keeps nurse two days per week • Unknown impacts from support staff cuts where seniority comes into play • Muirlands Foundation contributed about $100,000 this year and helps support the nurse, a portion of the two vice principals as well as instructional and technology materials and support. The projected need for next year is about the same. — Source: Principal Chris Hargrave ■ BIRD ROCK ELEMENTARY • Would lose three teachers • Would lose one nurse • Would lose half a library assistant • Bird Rock Elementary Foundation has a target to raise $400,000 that could be used to pick up the cost of two teachers as well as supplemental programs, technology and materials. — Source: Principal Sally Viavada ■ TORREY PINES ELEMENTARY • Would lose one or two teachers, depending on class size increases • Would look to foundation for visual and performing arts, technology and perhaps to fund teacher to hold class sizes down. — Source: Principal Jim Solo

for schools, Irwin said this is a good lesson for the students to see that they need to take action if something is going to be affected. The two talked last week about the challenges Principal Dana Shelburne is facing amidst the district’s likely estimated $120 million budget shortfall. On March 10, the school board will consider whether to issue layoff notices to 910 full-time teachers, administrators and other staff members. The high school’s estimated deficit is $225,000 to $235,000. Each campus leader was asked to come up with a plan, which in Shelburne’s case included not eliminating any people but leaving no money for supplies of any kind, he said in a recent interview. On top of the new campaign’s $200,000 goal, the LJHS Foundation has already pledged $125,000 for supplies and technology, Irwin said last week. At PTA, governance committee and foundation meetings, people were asking “What can people do to help that’s tangible,” Irwin said. “This evolved as a direction, an easy way to help the kids,” she added, noting that it doesn’t require “attending a gala, sitting through an auction or

several positions. They hope to reach their goal by May 1 “and not keep asking after that,” Penny said. “People have said they want to help, even if they don’t have children at La Jolla High,” Irwin said. She and Penny cited parents of children at area private schools who see the value in good education, as well as grandparents and others who want to pitch in. Even area Realtors who are members of REBA have offered to contribute. Both say they are optimistic and excited that they will reach and even exceed the $200,000 mark. “The stakes are so high in getting our children the programs they need to get into college,” Irwin said. “We just need to give them all the right tools.”

ird Rock Elementary students are creating, learning and pitching in to help their own school throughout each day, through activities such as the annual Science Night and art projects. Recently the students enjoyed two evenings of Science Nights organized by PTA programs chair Roni Lincoln. The fun featured a show by Mad Science. On another day the children in Lynne DeGooyer’s thirdgrade class worked with parents and their teacher on an art piece to represent their classroom to auction off at BRE Spring Gala 2011. Each class creates a piece for the event, this year being held May 14 at Anthology. For information go to www.sandi.net/birdrock.

FROM MERCHANTS, A3 Also on hand were former PLJ president Deborah Marengo and Maryam Bakhsh, PLJ’s bookkeeper. Lightner led the swearing-in ceremony; Leon Chow (Nelson Photo Supplies), whose name was drawn to break a tie, was absent and will be sworn in later. Then the board got down to the business of electing Coller along with Nancy Warwick (Warwick’s Bookstore) as vice president, Tom Brady (La Jolla Cove Cottage Rentals) as treasurer and Sheila Fortune (Aquamoree) as secretary. They also adopted by-laws, a resolution to form a tax-exempt 501(c)(6) nonprofit and a resolution to proceed with seeking the contract with the city. Next came approving a concept budget, allocating an estimated $365,000 for fiscal year starting in July. Meredith Dibden-Brown of the city’s Office of Small Business, which oversees the business districts, said she and Lightner’s staff would look for ways to give the group access to funds currently in the LJBID account before the formal contract process is complete. She said it was possible they could have some money to work with by May. Many raised their hands to
volunteer for marketing, beautification and special events committees. But it was Patrick Edwards, of the North Park business district and the San Diego Business Improvement District Council representing 16 similar groups across the city, who noted a key element was missing: the need to “bring merchants here.” The strongest BIDs are those with strong economic development efforts, he said, explaining that those groups have looked at the mix of businesses that will attract shoppers and diners and worked with landlords and businesses to “seed” new establishments. “I want to push you in that direction,” said Edwards, who has attended many of the LJVMA formational meetings. “Special events are ancillary.” At the urging of Brady, the board members agreed to seek out information from well-established business districts like those in North Park and the Adams Avenue neighborhood. That group was the only formal committee named at the meeting; others will be established after that group reports. The next Village Merchants Association meeting will be at 8 a.m. March 9 at a location to be announced later.
Advisory boards adjusting to new business group groups on how rigidly they interpret their bylaws,” said LaCava on what the various La Jolla committees may need to do in accommodating representation from the newly forming La Jolla merchants group. One particular group already is trying to deal with this issue —the Streetscape Committee, which is a joint committee of the La Jolla Town Council and Promote La Jolla. Previous committee chair Glen Rasmussen — who represented PLJ and the interim LJBID’s appointed advisory board —has Rick Wildman stepped down, and Egon Kafka has been serving as interim board chair. But the “legitimacy” of both Rasmussen and Kafka to serve on the Streetscape board, let alone lead it, has been challenged by La Jolla Town Council President Rick Wildman. Wildman cites a 1992 agreement with the city that established the committee that states “In the event PLJ no longer provides administrative services as the administrator of the La Jolla Business Improvement District then the City and Town Council will determine the process for future improvement installations.”
BY DAVE SCHWAB Staff Writer The transition from the all-but-defunct Promote La Jolla (PLJ) to the new La Jolla Village Merchants Association has left some La Jolla advisory groups like the Streetscape Committee in limbo: functioning, yet deficient in funding with questions surrounding their membership. Joe LaCava, chair of the La Jolla Community Planning Association — the community’s advisory group for land use, said he will ask the board tonight to take action to allow Joe LaCava the PLJ appointees to serve out their terms. He also intends to seek a change in the language from specifying PLJ members be appointed to the more generic ”manager of the La Jolla Business Improvement District (LJBID).” “Those subcommittees have historically had dedicated seats for businessowners,” he noted. “It’s very important to keep that business perspective. Hopefully, when the new group gets formed and organized, we will work with them to make sure they make the appointments to those dedicated seats.” “It’s really up to the individual

“He (Kafka) declared himself to be head of it (Streetscape) but he was not appointed,” Wildman said. “PLJ appointments expired June 30, 2009, with the end of PLJ’s BID contract (with the city). There is no provision for anybody to replace PLJ. The Town Council controls Streetscape, and since Egon (Kafka) was not appointed by the town council, he is not on Streetscape and neither is Glen (Rasmussen).” Kafka said he willingly stepped forward to fill a void on the group to hold things toEsther Viti gether until the transition from Promote La Jolla to the Village Merchants Association is complete. Esther Viti, who has served on the Streetscape Committee and heads up the Nell Carpenter Beautification Committee (a Town Council committee) has taken a different tack in reacting to PLJ’s departure from the committee. “PLJ doesn’t exist anymore so technically speaking there isn’t a Streetscape Committee,” she said. “I’m not divorcing myself from Streetscape, but I’m not a businessowner — I’m a volunteer.”

■ Angel Rodriguez, a server at NINE-TEN Restaurant in La Jolla, has been named the 2010 Food & Beverage Person of the Year by the San Diego County Hotel-Motel Association (SDHMA). The award was bestowed upon Angel by San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, in front of nearly 500 members of the local hospitality/tourism industry at the annual Gold Key Awards Dinner. "The Energizer Bunny may have originally been created as a character developed to sell batteries on television. Today, however, it has become a pop-culture phrase to describe someone with strength, determination and a spirit to keep going, and going and going,” said Terry Underwood, general manager of NINE-TEN and the Grande Colonial Hotel, where the restaurant is located. “To Angel Rodriguez, it’s all that and more. For him, it has been a heart-felt philosophy since March 2002 when he joined our team as a table busser.” He knew that in order for him to continue growing in his career in the hospitality industry, he would need to master the English language. In July of 2007, after studying and practicing and becoming fluent in English, he achieved his next goal: Being promoted to a server at NINE-TEN. His new position required him to learn how to describe complex and involved dishes, constantly changing ingredients, wines from all over the world and recommended wine pairings.
In late 2008, Angel became the lead day server for NINE-TEN and in December, Rodriguez began supervising the restaurant, in addition to serving. Now in 2011, he is starting to serve at night. ■ Executive Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef Ron Oliver from The Marine Room recently won the “Top Chef Korean Food Challenge” at the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center in downtown San Diego. Their first prize consisted of two round-trip tickets to Korea sponsored by Asiana Airlines and a cash prize of $1,000. Each team represented a color from the Korean flag; white, red and blue respectively. The three teams of two chefs each randomly handpicked an authentic Korean recipe written on a scroll and had 30 minutes to recreate the dish using all the ingredients from a basket that they were presented and were encouraged to interpret the dish by adding their own flair and culinary styles. The private event was sponsored by the Korea Tourism Organization and was hosted by Cathlyn Choi, the host and producer of Cathlyn’s Korean Kitchen.

Alcorn & Benton:A dynamic duo There’s a good reason why clients in La Jolla choose Alcorn & Benton Architects to design for their projects. “They know that we can do it — we can make it happen,” said Jim Alcorn, one half of the architectural partnership he established with Paul Benton nearly a year ago at their loft office at 7757 Girard Ave. Benton’s and Alcorn’s styles complement each other. Becoming a team has established a synergy benefiting both. “Usually people select architects based either on their history of work or the kind of design that they do,” said Benton, who is also an engineer. “Jim is a modernist and that’s a wide range.” Diversity and hybridization are a big part of the successful mix at the architectural firm. “Right now we have some very classical, traditional buildings under way but with a modernist element,” said Benton, noting the firm’s project list under development presently numbers 23, a body of work including everything from individual homes to redevelopments to large, upscale new construction. The pedigree of the two architects is impressive. Paul Benton has been practicing in California since 1984, serving a variety of client needs ranging from architectural design to structural renovation to planning and project management. He was appointed by the mayor to serve

Persistence pays off for Bird Rock residents OUR VIEW Bird Rock residents who live near the house on La Jolla Hermosa Avenue that sports a sign dubbing it “Rancho Relaxo” deserve credit for persistence. While the house still is a blight on the neighborhood and there is some question whether they’ll ever see their money, the 18 neigh-
bors who complained for years and finally won a judgment last week should be proud of themselves for sticking to their guns. On top of that, if the homeowner doesn’t come up with nearly $7,000 in back taxes, the house stands to be sold at auction next month. In their effort to rid the neighborhood of a house that law enforcement officials described as a “com-
mune-style” residence where “known convicts and drug users” stayed, they turned to Safe Streets Now: San Diego. The organization, which helps residents clean up their neighborhoods by seeking joint petitions for relief in small claims court, assisted them in their court battle. They also got help from the offices of Councilwoman Sherri Lightner and Supervisor Pam Slater-Price.
Some neighbors have said they feared for their own and their children’s safety because of the type of characters that hung out at what they said was essentially a flophouse where people came and went at all times of the day and night.

WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF A ROMANTIC DATE IN LA JOLLA?
BY JOE PARKER President, Bird Rock Community Council Bird Rock has gone to the dogs. Don't get me wrong for saying so. I'm a huge lover of pets and a dog owner myself. But enough is enough — the situation at Calumet Park and other locations throughout Bird Rock is rapidly approaching Joe Parker chaos. For months now, the BRCC and Councilmember Sherri Lightner's office have been receiving complaints from neighbors asking folks to obey leash laws at the Park and other public areas in our neighborhood. Dogs off leash at Calumet Park are causing major problems. For one, Calumet Park is not a dog park (even though it's really fun for them). And, in fact, most people are surprised to learn that dogs are prohibited at the park during daytime hours.

watchers, and those brave enough to chance a picnic on the grass. I witnessed one owner throw a tennis ball into a crowd of people while his dog ran with wild abandon, bent on retrieving that ball at all costs. It looked like the parting of the Red Sea combined with the running of the bulls. On another occasion, I figured the eighth time the same dog knocked over our picnic food, the owner would get a clue. He didn't. Sound like an exaggeration? Don't take my word for it. Go see it for yourself. To those of you who bring your dogs to Calumet Park and follow the rules — good for you, and sorry that the rest have ruined it for us. Unfortunately, Animal Services has been deployed to address the problem. They will be visiting the Park on a regular basis and issuing tickets. My hope is that the problem will abate itself through public awareness. For leash-free locations, you can view a map at www.sandiego.gov/park-andrecreation/generalinfo/dogs.shtml.

They say rules are for fools and here is why. A handful of dogs at the park during off hours isn't the problem. Massive civil disobedience is. The dogs tear up the grass, owners don't pick up after them, and during the afternoons, the packs of excited and sometimes aggressive dogs are just plain dangerous. I've received reports of dog bites, dogfights, confrontations between dog owners and neighbors, and many, many complaints that the quiet enjoyment of this special coastal overlook is being ruined. It’s a dog-gone shame for sure, and I regret having to write such a negative piece to highlight the problem. We are a dog-friendly town and I want it to stay that way. However, the dog population in Bird Rock has exploded over the years, and equally evident is the doubling of bad judgment and lack of self-regulation by dogowners. Two weeks ago, I drove by Calumet Park at 4 p.m. There were at least 20 dogs (big dogs) off leash chasing balls in the middle of babies in strollers, toddlers, elderly folks, sunset
YOUR VIEW Thank you for dedicating space in your newspaper to yoga. The article, “The journey of yoga begins at LJYCenter,” has inspired me to reflect and share my insight with your r eaders. While yoga in the west is often reduces to a few “ elegant looking, body-shaping poses,” this ancient discipline can be practiced by anybody who is
still breathing (Are you??) — even by those in a wheel chair. It ‘s wonderful that we have so many places to practice yoga in La Jolla; however, location is secondary to the personal attitude one brings to the practice (so essential to safety, enjoyment and transformation). If your breath begins to initiate movements transforming “motion into meditation,” ego
steps aside from the yoga mat, will is willing to surrender to the “inner teacher’s“ guidance, thought waves dissolve into a deep healing silence... and your heart is filled with contentment and blissful serenity. That is where the Journey of yoga truly begins! Jaruska Solyova, M.A.E-RYT 500 LA JOLLARESIDENTSINCE 1986

The Bird Rock community’s fight may not quite be over, but their unity in their struggle is what neighborhood is all about. Here’s to Bird Rock for showing what can be done if you stick to your guns.
Sharing roles of committees key to success BY JOE LACAVA President, La Jolla Community Planning Association
COMMUNITY LEADER’S VIEW Last week’s op-ed pieces may have caused some confusion at best or fear of returning to the bad old days at worse. I can say that the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) is committed to sustaining the joint committees that are unique to La Jolla and put in place nearly twenty years ago. This workJoe LaCava ing relationship is by mutual agreement with La Jolla Town Council (LJTC), La Jolla Shores Association, Bird Rock Community Council, and the local manager of the La Jolla Business Improvement District (LJBID). The value to La Jolla in this joint advisory approach has clearly been proven time and time again. The LJCPA recognizes the LJBID appointments to the committees that were made last year and intends to respect the hardworking merchant volunteers to the conclusion of their one-year term. As further evidence, up for consideration at tonight’s Annual LJCPA Member meeting is an amendment of our bylaws to ensure that the manager of the LJBID, the La Jolla Village Merchant Association (LJVMA), continues its role in making appointments to the joint committees and we look forward to the announcement of their appointees in May. Certainly part of the job ahead for LJVMA is to address other committees and authorities created by direct action of the city previously under the jurisdiction of Promote La Jolla. The LJCPA will do its part to help, recognizing that a smooth transition will be to the benefit of the LJVMA, the merchants and La Jolla. To that end I have already started working with the LJVMA and LJTC. Paraphrasing my op-ed piece in January, let 2011 be the year that the LJTC, LJVMA and the LJCPA are each up and operating at their full potential.

Nobel laureate to Lecture at UCSD Noble-prize winning economist Amartya Sen will speak on “Justice: Local and Global” at 7 p.m. March 31 in the UCSD Price Center Ballroom Amartya West. The event Sen is free and open to the public with no tickets or reservations required. Sen is regarded as one of the world's foremost thinkers in the field of famine, poverty, social choice and welfare economics. His groundbreaking
U
work has not only been academically influential, but has also had a profound impact on the formation of development policy worldwide. He has published numerous highly influential books and articles, including the seminal "Poverty and Famines: An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation" (1981) in which he proposed the radical — and now widely accepted — theory that famine occurs not because of a lack of food, but rather because of inequalities built into the mechanisms of distributing food. In recognition of his work he was awarded the 1998
Nobel Prize for Economics, the first welfare economist to be thus honored. He has since used some of the prize money to establish the Pratichi Trust to promote primary education in India. He is currently Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Harvard University. The lecture is presented by the Helen Edison Lecture Series in partnership with the UC San Diego Division of Social Science, and the Institute for International, Comparative and Area Studies. Attendees should enter campus at Gilman Drive. Parking is $4 after 4:30 p.m. in the Gilman Parking Structure.
UCSD celebrates innovation
CSD alumnus Kip Fulbeck, an American artist, slam poet and filmmaker, gave the keynote address last week during UCSD’s IDEaS Innovation Day Expo.

BY RICK LEBEAU Contributor In a convincing display of balanced scoring and tight defense, The Bishop’s School on Saturday captured the CIF girls water polo title again, asserting themselves as the dominant program in the county. In defeating the game, but overmatched, La Jolla Viking squad — appearing in their first championship match — Bishop’s completed a nearperfect run through county teams this season, with just one blemish on their record. That was a loss to Division I champion Vista late in the season. The Knights opened the game at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex with their trademark high-intensity, inyour-face defense and crisp passing on offense. They had opened up a 2-0 lead midway through the first quarter before La Jolla settled down and seemed to find a workable scheme to contain the Knights’ potent offense. Christina Kirby scored on a rebound put-back late in the quarter to bring the Vikings to within a goal, but the Knights’ Jessie Webster found a hole in the defense with 2 seconds to go in the quarter to put Bishop’s up 3-1. The second quarter was more of the same, with Bishop’s killing La Jolla’s 6-on-5 power plays with key steals, then getting counter-attack goals before the Vikings were able to regroup on defense. Bishop’s defense again clamped down on La Jolla, allowing just one more goal before half-time. Again, just seconds before the buzzer for the end of the period, Bishop’s scored two consecutive goals to stretch their lead to 7-2. With Webster posing as the outside scoring threat and Carryann OlaffsonLoo battling for position nearer the goal, the Knights kept the La Jolla defense off balance throughout the game, allowing for 8 of the 10 Bishop’s goals to come from uncontested looks at the goal. Webster led all scorers with 4 goals. Olaffson-Loo had perhaps the prettiest goal of the night, a powerful back-

hand cross-cage shot out of the center position in the third quarter. For the Vikings, Christina Kirby came up big in her final game as a senior, scoring twice on heads-up rebounds as well as a beautiful tap-in off a pass from Greta Gettelfinger in the fourth quarter. Bishop’s goalie Gabby Stone kept La Jolla’s shooters frustrated, recording
13 saves for the game. The win gave Bishop’s their eighth CIF title in the last 14 years (they’ve played in the final in each of those seasons). With their first appearance in the finals, La Jolla showed that their program is maturing — don’t be surprised if these two teams meet in the finals again next season.

Local high schoolers set to compete with college players BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer The best attribute about playing above your competition level is that there is not much to lose. That's exactly the mindset that two local doubles tennis teams will have when they play in the 122nd Annual Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Championships. The tournament gets under way today at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and goes through Sunday. Traditionally, the event brings together some of the top college doubles team from across the country. However, if there are teams that are good enough, they can enter the tournament as well. For the duo of Daniel Faierman and Warren Wood, they are playing the tournament for the final time as high schoolers. Faierman is off to Yale in the fall while Wood will be heading to Clairemont McKenna. Both will play tennis in college. In the tournament last year, the two La Jolla Country Day players made it all the way to the finals of the back draw before a school commitment forced them to drop out of the competition. Faierman and Wood went on to win the CIF doubles title last year in the high school ranks. "We know that it's gonna be a tough tournament," Wood said. "All those college kids have much more experience than us, but I think that if we just play well and we don't make a lot of stupid mistakes, I think we can do pretty well in this tournament. Obviously, the college kids are more mature.
La Jolla Country Day’s Daniel Faierman (left) and Warren Wood.
"We're locals and we might as well play in it," Appleby said. "And we're decent enough to try and compete. I feel like we should win a few matches this year."
Said Rosen: "This year, we're expecting to get a win. I don't know if we'll beat a USC team ... but a team that's not USC, UCLA or Stanford, I think we definitely have a shot to win, if it's
not their top couple of teams." Admission to the 122nd Annual Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Championships is free. For more information go to www.ljbtc.com.

Bigger shots, they work more on their game allaround, so that's the disadvantage we have." They may be at a disadvantage because of their age, but playing the role of underdog has its benefits. "We are more doing it to have fun," Faierman said. "It's not a tournament that we feel pressure. We're the young guys — we're just trying to have fun. All the pressure is on the older guys." One key for Faierman and Wood that could be a benefit is that they have been playing tennis together since they were little boys. "We've been neighbors since we were 2," Wood said, "so we work well together." This year marks the 69th straight year the event has been going on at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club adding to the rich tradition that started back in 1890 when
the event was first held at The Hotel Del Monte in Monterey. The event started as an idea to have the best players in the East play the best in the West. Past winners include Jack Kramer, Arthur Ashe and John McEnroe. Two of the youngest in the field this year will be Ryan Rosen and Addison Appleby, both sophomores at La Jolla High. The two also competed in last year's event and gave a few teams an unexpected tough time. "Last year, we almost beat a USC team which would have been huge," Rosen said. "And we went three sets with a Villanova team that we probably should have won. Both were good experiences." Despite not winning a match last season, Rosen and Appleby think this year could be different.
Q. Pat: I took my 2009 Ford Escort in for service and asked for a complete lube, oil and filter service. When I looked at the receipt after the work was completed, there was nothing on the paperwork stating that the grease fitDave Stall tings had been lubed. I questioned the kid behind the counter. He gave me a deer-in-the-headlights look and stated he didn’t know what a grease fitting was and that they only do what is on their list and grease fittings were not on the list. I asked for the manager but of course he wasn’t in. What should I do? I have a squeak up in the front end somewhere. Now I am forced to go to the dealer unless you have another idea. A. Dave: Your car is a 2009. Take it to the dealer. They will be able to find the noise better than most technicians and who knows, it may be under warranty. Lubricating grease fittings are a thing of the past. Some vehicles still require lubricating, but most companies have gone to sealed components that used to get lubed. So now, lubing means spraying the hinges and lubing the door locks. Q. Larry: Every morning lately when I start my truck I get this squealing noise for about a minute, maybe two and then it goes away for the rest of the day. I have looked under the hood but could not see anything loose or missing. I am a student and my parents didn’t want me to buy this truck, so they are not willing to help me with it. The truck is a 1976 Toyota pickup with a million miles on it — any suggestions?
A. Dave: I had a truck of that vintage and it may just be the fan belt. Here is a simple way to find out if it is just the belt. First, when the engine is off, reach down and see if it is loose. If so, tighten it. When it is tight, get a spray bottle; fill it with water and with the engine running spray the belt with the water. If it stops squealing, replace the belt. If it still squeals, it could be a pulley on the alternator, smog pump or water pump. Unless you are mechanically inclined, you may need to take the truck in to a shop for a true diagnosis. Q. Chad: I heard something about motorcycle helmets that I could not believe and, if I didn’t know better, what I heard is nothing more than a ploy to sell helmets. I was told that a helmet is only good for a year or two. That can’t be true! I have had my helmet for at least five years. It looks like it has been through the mill, but it still works. Have you heard anything about this? A. Dave: Believe it or not, a helmet is only good for two to five years. It could look brand new, but because of the material used, the interior impact material will break down due to outside exposure. With the sun beating down on the helmet, the interior will start to break down and the helmet will lose its safety properties. If tested by DOT (Department of Transportation), it would fail the required safety test. Now, let me give you another fact that may curl your hair. If the helmet is dropped on the asphalt or cement, it is no longer good. Just one impact and it needs to be replaced. If you helmet looks like it has been through the mill, then you are riding on borrowed time! Do something nice for yourself and buy a new helmet!

CIF action at full speed this week BY PHIL DAILEY Staff Writer This weekend many La Jolla teams will finally get a chance to compete for what they have been waiting for all season — a shot at being crowned champions. With start of the CIF playoffs last week, several local teams are eyeing a title in their respective sports. In Division IV girls basketball, La Jolla Country Day and Bishop's are on a collision course to meet up in the finals on Saturday morning at Jenny Craig Pavilion. The story won't be the same in boys basketball as those same two schools will battle in the semifinals with the winner earning a shot at the title. In Division III soccer, the La Jolla girls team, which upset No. 2 seeded Southwest, could also be playing for a championship Saturday. In Division IV the girls team from Bishop's is on pace to make the finals as well.

Since 1952, La Jolla Youth Baseball has celebrated Opening Day and generations of families have enjoyed this tradition at the Cliffridge Fields. This year's crop of players have been warming up for a few weeks of “spring training” but the recent rains have occasionally kept the players off of the fields. This season, there are 420 players assigned to 40 teams in Pony (13 to 14-year-olds), Bronco (11-12), Mustang (9-10), Pinto (7-8) and Shetland (5-6) leagues. Opening Day begins at noon on Saturday with players and families on all five fields standing at attention for the raising of the flag, playing of the National Anthem and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Following the ceremonial First Pitch comes the traditional call to “Play Ball!” Plenty of sponsors will be on hand to greet their teams. Game Truck will be on site from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for kids to play some of their video systems. Of course, the snack bar will have hamburgers and hot dogs grilling all day and the favorite slushies will be flowing.

10 QUESTIONS
Dr. Lawrence Hansen has a soft spot in his heart for animal rights
ON THE MENU B8
Information Station Director says library gets by with a little help from its Friends
A native son of the American heartland, Lawrence Hansen was born, raised and educated in and around Chicago. After medical school and residencies in Psychiatry and Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Loyola Dr. Lawrence University, he went Hansen south to Atlanta for a three-year fellowship in Neuropathology. Like many loosely attached Americans, he said he then drifted west, until stopped by the Pacific Ocean, taking up residence in San Diego in 1988. In the intervening 23 years, “I have been fortunate enough to acquire a wife, Susan Lamson. Susan is a San Diego native, a graduate of La Jolla High School and Berkley, a former model, and an attorney.

What makes this area special to you? It would sound better if I could claim that it was the rich collaborative scientific environment that allows me to pursue my research, but really, the beaches are great, the weather is fantastic, and my wife who is from here refuses to indulge my fantasy of returning to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would immediately convert the so-called “Children’s Pool” into a seal wildlife refuge for the protection of the seals, and the enjoyment of all who come to see them.

FROM LIBRARY, B1 for history and literature at the branch downtown. Greene says she is happier working at the La Jolla branch, a post she’s held for just over two years. Her main frustrations, however, come from worries over her staff being downsized. “The hardest part of the job has to be dealing with the morale of the staff,” Greene said, in reference to looming rumors of more budget cuts and reduced operating hours. And as for the best part? “Dealing with people and purchasing library items to benefit the community,” she said. If the budget weren’t a concern, she said she would beef up the library’s staff and add a coordinator for all the special programs the library offers and a clerical worker to handle all the paperwork she’s had to shoulder due to recent cuts. When addressing the subject of a possible reduction in operating hours, Greene said she doesn’t know what the future holds. She points out that there has been a surge in library use due to the tough economy while the hours of one library assistant were cut in half and there are no plans to replace another staff mem-
ber who retired. Still, the Riford branch survives, and thrives, largely due to donations and endowments. Plaques listing benefactors pepper the place and the entire Joan and Irwin Jacobs Library Annex is the result of gifts. The Annex houses the colorful Youth Area on its main floor, the nonfiction collection on the lower level (which includes a local history room) and fiction, periodicals and magazines on the third floor. Greene is especially proud of the selection here. A self-professed bibliophile, she places green tags on books she’s read and respects to give the stacks and stacks of novels a bookstore feel. Friends of the La Jolla Library enhance the bookstore atmosphere. This nonprofit group helps support the branch by raising an average of $3,000 per month from used book sales. The city matches the amount, which is then deposited into the San Diego Library Foundation account. Friends’ boasts some 30 volunteers who sort through about 300 donations per week. Most of the books and DVDs that are donated and don’t make it into the library’s stacks are sold at big-
ger biannual book sales (the Winter Book Sale is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 12), while the rest are donated to veterans, families of service members, and local charitable organizations. Aside from the book sales, the children’s events draw the biggest crowds, Greene said. In addition to craft and music programs, holiday happenings, book clubs, and the beloved Summer Reading extravaganza, Youth Services Librarian Laurie Bailey hosts Preschool Storytime at 10:30 a.m. each Thursday and PJ Storytime at 6:30 p.m. the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. The library also plays host to dozens of adult activities including a drop-in film series, book discussions, concerts, art exhibits, lectures by community leaders, and up next for spring, The Holocaust as Living Memorial series, and a homeless information forum. About 25 people regularly attend the bi-weekly chair yoga sessions. Most of these events are free to the public with time and materials donated, but there is no telling how the Riford Library’s events and resources will be affected in the future.
Flanking the entrance are bookshelves full of community flyers, brochures, and free publications.
Each week the La Jolla Garden Club donates a fresh floral arrangement for the lobby.
Products help launch personal histories Do you want to tell a life story but lack the time, talent, or inclination to write a biography? Bill Burch of San Diego has created lifetime memory keeper products that make it easy for senior citizens, genealogists, and others to tell their stories and pass them on. He said the value of creating a legacy is so that future generations of your family know who you are and where they came from. His “classic edition” comes with LifeLines (a timeline format), LifeImages (a corresponding scrapbook), and an archival case. The products are $49.99$99. Learn more by logging on to archivalife.com To help those interested get started on their memoirs, Burch offered these five tips: ■ Write what you remem-
ber.You might be avoiding the task because it seems daunting to go back through your life and remember the details. Take a moment to write about what you remember most. You can fill in the gaps later. ■ Write what other people remember. Ask your family members to contribute their memories from your life. ■ Use photos. Photos are a great way to jog your memory.
Pick one photo a day and write down what you remember about the occasion. ■ Use a timeline.Separate your life into decades or other major events (school years, places lived, etc.) and work on a section at a time. ■ Be yourself. Don’t worry about spelling, grammar, or even how it is going to look; the most important thing is to get started, write in your own voice, and be yourself.

Plein-air painters find La Jolla inspirational as exhibit guests will see BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor Azure waves, graceful eucalyptus trees, ethereal shorelines and panoramic bluff top vistas — each are a facet of La Jolla’s aesthetic beauty. While these images are lovely to look at up-close and personal, when viewed through the eyes of a pleinair artist they are transformed and become so much lovelier. Now the scenes appear more vibrant, have texture, and possess a spectrum of color that the untrained eye may not perceive. During an evening of wine and cheese on Feb. 23, a dozen such artists shared their freshly painted La Jolla canvasses with the public at the La Jolla Fine Art Gallery, 7602 Fay Ave. Their work will remain on exhibit through March 23. Mark Slusser, one of the artists, organized the exhibition to bring together some of San Diego County’s most noted and impassioned plein-air painters. The group is not an official organization, but rather a loose association of like-minded artists whose work celebrates La Jolla’s most memorable scenic spots and some of its signature urban sites. Included in the show are paintings by Joli Beal, Norm Daniels, Mark Fehlman,

Carolyn Hesse-Low, Patty McGeeney, Lynne Schulnik, Dottie Stanley, Paul Strahm, Marjorie Taylor, Toni Williams and Jeff Yeomans. Several of the artists have award-winning stature, like Yeomans, Hesse-Low and Stanley. Slusser explained that “en plein air� is a French expression that means “in the open air.� It is used to describe the act of painting outdoors. “Each of these ex-
hibited plein-air paintings is a gem that I think people will really respond to because they will recognize many of the gorgeous scenes of La Jolla,� he said. A transplant from Utah, Slusser moved to San Diego in 2008. He said as he searched for the gorgeous places to paint in La Jolla he would often see other painters. “I started to meet more and more plein-air

artists and they each struck me as being exemplary painters of this area.� Dottie Stanley opened the La Jolla Fine Art Gallery five years ago. She is a Fellow of the American Artists Professional League and renowned internationally for her portraiture. Slusser joined her in the gallery seven months ago. Both offer classes at the gallery that doubles as a studio.
Norm Daniels, Patty McGreeney, Mark Slusser and Carolyn Hesse-Low
Several other artists also teach their craft; Taylor at the San Diego Art Institute and Williams at locations around the county. Slusser said there seems to be a resurgence of this plein-air painting as though it’s a backlash to the abstract work that has been prevalent for many decades. “Art lovers are now seeking out realism and impressionism as a breath of fresh
air,â€? said Slusser. “There’s something about painting in the environment that captures and imbues a painting with a freshness, a lightness ‌ a lot like the work of the French Impressionists ‌ somehow the air and the light permeates the paint. A local painter capturing the beauty of local scenes is something that La Jollans may have a great deal of pride in.â€?

Ash Wednesday opens the Christian season of Lent on March 9 this year. True. Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of believers as a sign of repentance. The ashes used are typically gathered after the Palm Crosses from the previous year’s Palm Sunday are burned. A priest dips his right thumb in the ashes and, making the Sign of the Cross on each person’s forehead, says, “Remember, man, that thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return.” In the Roman Catholic Church, Ash Wednesday is observed by fasting, abstinence from meat, and repentance — a day of contemplating one’s transgressions. The Anglican Book of Common Prayer also designates Ash Wednesday as a day of fasting.

Cupcake craze leads to trendy shops The cupcake craze has exploded like muffin tops swelling over the lips of the pan: The Catharine L. Food Network is airing Season 2 Kaufman of “Cupcake Wars.” A whole cottage industry revolving around cupcakes has emerged as cupcake bakeries pop up in towns across the country. The popularity of these mini cakes is due to their multi-tasking nature and their appeal for indulging the sweet tooth without the “Super Size Me” mentality. Cupcakes are as suitable to serve at a kid’s birthday party as they are at an elegant wedding or a baby shower. The nostalgic Hostess cupcake of the 1950s has truly evolved into a cultural phenomenon with connoisseurs concocting mini masterpieces. Here’s a roundup of the hot cupcake spots around town:

Most Sprinkles’ cupcakes are stamped with signature color-coded candied dots, large replicas of which grace their storefronts. ■ Cupcake Love, 437 S. Hwy. 101 A retro, nostalgic-style cupcake parlor is at the Beach Walk Shopping Center in Solana Beach. Cupcake Love waxes poetic with such fun and romantic flavors as German Chocolate Love Story, Bunny Love (carrot cake with smooth cream-cheese icing), Girls’ Night Out Cosmo, Fancy Pants Red Velvet, and seasonal spring flavors, like Irish Cream Kiss for March. Cupcake Love offers cupcakes and love bites, with everything made in-house including the marshmallows used in the Rocky Road treats. ■ Cupcakery, online at cupcakerysd.com A brother-and-sis baking duo created Cupcakery, designing specialty, custom-order cupcakes, like the West Coast “Cake Boss,” delivered free to your door anywhere in San Diego.

Breast cancer survivors needed for two-year study BY LINDA THOMPSON Contributor Dr. Cheryl Rock, professor of Family and Preventive Medicine at the UCSD School of Medicine, is committed to helping the 2.5 million women who are breast cancer survivors. To do that, she needs 200 women from San Diego for a two-year study involving diet modification and exercise. These volunteers must be between the ages of 21 to 85, overweight, and surviving breast cancer. The goal is for the women to lose at least seven percent of their body fat. Funded by a National Cancer Institute grant of $5.3 million, Dr. Rock’s study, ENERGY (Exercise and Nutrition to Enhance Recovery and Good Health for You) will involve cancer survivors in San Diego, Denver, Birmingham and St. Louis. She is working in collaboration with other doctors recruiting a total of 800 women from these four cities. Dr. Rock said many women experience weight gain while battling breast cancer — and not from overeating. She said the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation often make it difficult for women to maintain an active lifestyle. This inactivity creates muscle atrophy that in turn lowers
Dr. Cheryl Rock, Ph.D., R.D., is a professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine and the Cancer Prevention and Control Program, at the UCSD School of Medicine. She completed undergraduate training in nutrition and dietetics at Michigan State University, achieved a Master of Medical Science degree in clinical nutrition at Emory University, and was awarded her doctoral degree in nutritional sciences from UCLA School of Public Health. COURTESY
the metabolic rate needed to burn calories. Rock said being overweight is the “big gorilla in the closet,” which needs to be tackled because 60 percent of U.S. adults are overweight and data indicates a 78 percent increase in risk for recurrence of breast cancer patients if they are overweight at the time of diagnosis. During the clinical trial, scientific evidence will be collected that either proves or disproves her hypotheses. If the evidence supports her beliefs, the study could change the way doctors treat breast cancer patients. Data is also necessary to ensure insurance companies provide coverage to support weight loss and management for breast cancer survivors as a new standard of clinical care. Dr. Rock said study participants could expect to have their blood samples analyzed for estrogen and insulin hormone levels. Scien-
tists are concerned about high levels of insulin and estrogen because these hormones are designed to grow cells — whether cells are cancerous or not. Studying the issue since 1997, Dr. Rock authored a paper that showed a correlation between high blood estrogen and the recurrence of cancer. Her study has raised the call for postmenopausal women to lose excess body fat because at this stage of life, estrogen is no longer produced by ovaries, but by fat. The new study will include participation in a 2year behavioral weight loss program, with a support group that will meet weekly for the first 16 weeks. “Changing behavior is not easy. Losing weight is not easy,” said Dr. Rock, “and that is the reason for having weekly meetings comprised of about 12 women in each group. The program is to encourage a greater consumption of
fruits, vegetables and high fibers in the diet and fewer calories. The trial doesn’t provide food, but participants will receive a scale, a food diary to track food intake, and a pedometer.” After 16 weeks, participants will not simply be cut loose, but they will enter a less intense program created by Dr. Wendy Demark-Wah-
nefried, Ph.D., R.D. in Birmingham, Ala. As far as the exercise involved, Dr. Rock said she encourages women to aim for an average of one hour each day of moderate purposeful exercise to be tailored by study coordinator and certified cancer exercise trainer Shoshi Barkai, M.S., R.D. Related issues, like incontinence, hot flashing, and mastectomies have all been taken into consideration. Dr. Rock discussed the positive transformation women encountered in her previous study, SHAPE. She said the women in the program went from “literally being couch potatoes” to exercise addicts.
To join the study: ■ Participants must be at least 21 years old and have been diagnosed with stage I, II, or III A breast cancer. They will be involved in a twoyear active intervention program. If interested, contact Shoshi Barkai at Moores UCSD Cancer Center, (858) 822-2779.

Oh là là! It’s French cuisine at its finest at Tapenade BY WILL PARSON
Contributor he fine French dining experience can be a daunting one for the uninitiated, but rest assured that Tapenade is accustomed to regulars and first-timers alike.

After all, Diot and his wife Sylvie sought out San Diego specifically as a place to raise their two children, citing the weather and the family environment. So they are well aware that they are a long way from New York where their old restaurant was one of many. However, you will feel a bit closer to Provence, where their menu originates.

Tapenade’s Maître d’ Ludovic Mifsud, himself a Provençal export, sees San Diego’s unique character positively. “It’s definitely more laid back than you will have in New York or Chicago, which is actually really good. It’s a nice twist and we like it. I think here people try to learn a lot about food,” he said. Accordingly, Mifsud and trusted staff will gladly guide the willing through their meals. One inevitably starts with the amusebouche and can then progress either to an appetizer like the Wild Mushroom Ravioli, which has been a favorite since the restaurant opened in 1998 (and is on the Happy Hour menu as well). Alternatively, one can head straight to an entree from the traditional menu, replete with escargots and coq au vin, or the

A classic choice might be the Homard au maïs blanc, made with lobster, white corn, porcini mushrooms, English peas and a Tahitian vanilla broth. A popular winter offering is the Noisettes de biche (Axis Venison Loin “Noisettes”), served with butternut squash,

spätzles, braised cabbage and wine-poached Seckel pear. For dessert, try a poached pear stuffed with hazelnut chocolate, plated with a smattering of fruit, a streak of caramel sauce and a scoop of ginger ice cream. It goes well with a glass of champagne. Weekends at Tapenade keep the waiters bustling, but the main dining room isn’t overwhelming even at full capacity. Private rooms are available for larger groups, but with few at the bar, a smaller party might find that the bistro area can be quiet enough. The bistro area has the added benefit of being a more casual area, even if the service is the same. So, if you feel a little underdressed — even for San Diego — there’s no need to worry. You can try your first escargot without a large audience.

Master sitarist brings Indian music to UCSD concert series BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor His playing has been called breathtaking, ethereal and mesmerizing. He has been performing since he was six years old and now heads one of the largest programs of Indian classical music in the U.S., which happens to be at UCSD. When master sitarist Kartik Seshadri isn’t teaching, he’s usually touring worldwide, but he’ll be appearing March 9 as part of Wed@7, a concert series featuring experimental and international music. A protégé of Ravi Shankar, Seshadri didn’t come from a family of musicians but grew up in a home full of music. He never thought of music as a career. It was a way of life. Though he has lived in the U.S since 1981, his ties to his native country remain strong and constant. “I come and go a lot, and I’ve been doing it for 46 years,” he said. “Jet lag is part of my life.” In 1996, when he was invited to start an Indian music program at UCSD, 20 students
If you go ■ What: Kartik Seshadri Wed@7 concert ■ When:7 p .m.March 9 ■ Where: Conrad Prebys Concert Hall,UCSD Campus ■ Tickets: $10-$15 at the door or (858) 822-2166 ■ Website: extemp.org enrolled; now there are about 120 each quarter. “We’re actually turning people away, because we don’t have enough instruments,” he said. The Beatles may have popularized Indian music in the 1960s, but Seshadri stresses that it’s an ancient musical tradition that goes back over 2,000 years and continues to thrive and grow. “My mission is to demystify Indian classical music, to take it away from that ‘60s aura of incense and yoga, where people think there’s going to be a flying carpet every time the music is played,” he said.
Kartik Seshadri with the sitar he designed and made himself. Probably the best-known Indian instrument is the sitar, which has seven main strings and 13 “sympathetic” strings that respond when the main strings are played. Unlike Western stringed instruments, the sitar’s frets are movable, and can be microtuned to make sharps sharper and flats flatter. At the heart of sitar music is the raga, a precise melodic form that is completely improvised within a very
s e l i m s e r fo
tight structure — a complex tonal system, with 22 divisions in an octave. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 ragas, each one relating to a specific time or season. Because every performance is improvised, no raga ever sounds the same twice. Ragas also include a rhythmic component called tala, which can range from a simple 3-beat cycle to a 108beat cycle. “You learn to find your free-

dom within boundaries,” Seshadri said. “The years you spend studying with a master, the hours of practice and self-knowledge all help cultivate your ability to do this on the spur of the moment. I live by the word ‘rigor.’ That’s where the spiritual aspect of Indian music lies.” How do his UCSD students respond to that rigor? “They get tremendous gratification from awakening their dormant capacities,”
he said. “I’m teaching them what it takes to become an improvisational musician.” Seshadri is always exploring the places where Western and Indian music meet and contrast. He enjoys collaborating with people like performer-composer Philip Glass, with whom he has toured several times, most recently last summer. “His ensemble is fun to work with, and one learns a lot performing cross-culturally,” Seshadri said. “You always have to be a student in music. Otherwise you get stuck in your ways.” No chance of that for Seshadri, who has now started his own nonprofit Indian music academy, Extemp that welcomes improvisational music from different cultures. He just completed a new Concerto for Sitar and Orchestra, and has a musical score for an Indian film in the works. But first: it’s Wed@7, when he’ll be performing with his UCSD colleague, Arup Chattopadhyay, on tabla. No magic carpet, just an evening of mesmerizing music.

San Francisco performer/composer Pamela Z will open the Fresh Sound series ‘Voice and Electronics’ on March 12 at UCSD’s The Loft. ARS ELECTRONICA “My whole time there, I was out about five nights a week, imbibing culture,” she said. “Then it started to seem hedonistic. I was only taking in, I wasn’t doing anything. And my family was all in California, so I thought it was time to come home.” It was the Wright time. She was invited to be music curator at Sushi, on whose board she had served years before. That’s where Fresh Sound premiered in 2009, with the motto: “We avoid the mainstream.” Part of that inaugural season was Pamela Z, a San Francisco performer/composer who combines operatic bel canto with percussion, spoken word, and computer-processed sounds. She’ll be kicking off the first series at The Loft, titled “Voice and Electronics.” “I love her music, so I
wanted to open with her,” Wright said. Coming back to UCSD brings Wright full circle. “It’s home,” she said. “I like home.” Meanwhile, she’s got a lot going on in her life. She’s a founding member of the New Music Society, runs her own record company, produces music soirées, and sings in a gospel choir. At 72, she’s hotter than ever. Small wonder she was one of San Diego Magazine’s “50 People to Watch in 2011.” Her advice to people new to “new music”? “It’s a process, like the first time you look at a Picasso. Music doesn’t always have a discernible groove or beat or the same 12 tones you have on the piano. As your ear gets accustomed to new sounds, a whole world opens up for you.”

Musical fun with fads and flappers in La Jolla High’s ‘Millie’ BY EMILY DERUY Contributor When Ann Boutelle, director of the theater department at La Jolla High School, decided to involve her advanced drama students in the selection of the next school play, she didn’t anticipate they’d want to tackle one of the trickiest musicals around. But that is exactly what her department has been doing for countless hours over the last several months. Since January, Boutelle and about 60 students have been working on a production of “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” a musical with 28 scene changes, dozens of costumes, and a dizzying array of song and dance numbers. “We were going to do another one,” she said. “But, I opened it up to my students and this was a favorite. It’s one of the biggest musicals you can produce.” Based on the 1967 movie featuring Julie Andrews, Millie tells the story of a young woman as she makes her way to New York City in the early 1920s in search of

The musical explores the Flapper era, a time when the rules of love and acceptable conduct were in flux. Featuring rousing jazz numbers and complicated dance routines, Boutelle says Millie provides the perfect opportunity to showcase the talent at La Jolla High. Katheryne Penny, the senior who plays Millie, has been in a number of other plays and musicals.

Maddy Harvey provides comic relief with impeccable timing. I did the musical because of these girls’ voices. The show’s just chalk full of
extraordinary talent.” Those working behind the scenes, from the tech students who make up the set crew to parents and other volunteers, have helped with everything from painting scenery to coaching the actors. “I’d really like to send a great thanks to all the people who have helped pull this together,” said Boutelle. “Former La Jolla High theater teacher, Walt Stewart, my husband Andy, Beth

Next ‘Face of Music’ concert will engage ears, eyes … and noses An interview with La Jolla Symphony & Chorus director Steven Schick BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Steven Schick, UCSD Distinguished Professor of Music, was born and raised on an Iowa farm. There weren’t many musicians around, but his mother played piano, and he wanted to be a drummer in a rock band. He ended up studying percussion at the University of Iowa. “It was the drums that hooked me,” he said. “But percussion is not just drums, it was a whole new world. And we weren’t just trying to master the medium, but expand it. We were bringing down the property values of classical music!” For the record, percussion encompasses anything that makes a sound when it’s struck, scraped or shaken, and that includes gongs, cowbells, marimbas, trashcans, and brake drums. A renowned performer and
ardent advocate of contemporary music, Schick joined the UCSD faculty in 1991. His graduate course in “new music performance” morphed into the percussion ensemble redfishbluefish, whose artistic director he remains. “After we were invited to play at Lincoln Center, calling it Music 201C didn’t cut it anymore,” he said. In 2007, he became music director and conductor of the all-volunteer La Jolla Symphony & Chorus, which includes musicians and singers from all walks of life, and sometimes has 300 members onstage. “How does a percussionist become a conductor? By dropping one stick. That’s the standard joke,” he said. And how does a percussionist manage to assemble so many devoted volunteers? “When you play the music we’re playing

It’s a labor of love,” he said. “I’m a volunteer, too!” Its season series is called “Face of Music,” and features concerts that do more than merely engage the ears. Schick calls it “music for all the senses.” The March program sounds particularly engaging. It includes Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto, featuring 16-year-old soloist Hannah Cho (who won La Jolla Symphony’s Young
Steve Schick, master percussionist and conductor of La Jolla Symphony & Chorus, with his sticks. LONNIE HEWITT Artists Competition in 2009) and Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra, which Schick rates as “the greatest orchestral concerto of them all.” But the real novelty is a world premiere of Mark Applebaum’s “Concerto for Florist & Orchestra.” The composer is a UCSD alumnus, and the florist is being imported from Mississippi. According to Schick: “He’s the Yo Yo Ma of performing florists!” Mark Applebaum, who received his M.A. and Ph.D.
in Composition at UCSD, is a tenured associate professor at Stanford, which he calls “UCSD North.” Besides being known worldwide for his “serious” contemporary music, he’s an awardwinning jazz pianist who often performs with his father in the Applebaum Jazz Piano Duo. He also builds electro-acoustical instruments and sound sculptures out of junk and found objects. His idea of music performance? “Things should sound cool and look interesting,” he said. Applebaum first came up with the idea for a florist concerto on an airplane in 1999, when he found himself seated next to James DelPrince, head of the floristry program at Mississippi State University, where they both taught. “I’d never heard of a floristry program, but I immediately asked if he’d ever thought of being a performance florist,” Applebaum said. They did their first performance in 2000, with
the composer and a percussionist making music while DelPrince created a 15-foot cornucopia of spruce fronds, apples, flowers, and tinsel. Once Applebaum came to Stanford, they did two more pieces there, in 2002 and 2008. Schick was part of the 2008 performance, which included an elaborate set of Dada-ist activities. Schick liked it so much that he commissioned Applebaum to make a new version for La Jolla Symphony. “Steve is fearless, endlessly curious and excited to try new things,” Applebaum said. “Like me, he’s an experimentalist at heart. But none of those Dada-ist things are in the new concerto. It’s a 3-movement, 18minute piece that could stand on its own, even without the florist. But the florist will take it over the top.” As 80 musicians play, DelPrince will create three floral sculptures, each corresponding to one of the movements. His only requirement: to finish when the music ends.

www.lajollalight.com FROM QUESTIONS, B1 Who inspires you? People who sacrifice their own time and energy for the benefit of animals, especially the local volunteers at the animal shelters, animal adoption events, and spay and neuter clinics. Such selflessness is almost sufficiently inspirational to get me to do it myself, but not quite. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I would invite Abraham Lincoln, and give the other seven the wrong address so that I could have time alone with Abe to get to personally know the greatest human America has ever produced. What are you reading? I am re-reading, for the umpteenth time, “The Fabric of the Cosmos,” by Brian Green. It’s one of those “physics for idiots” books that try to explain to the mathematically illiterate how almost everything our common sense tells us about the world is wrong.
LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 3, 2011 - PAGE B17
What is your mostprized possession? The enlightened Zen master is too wise to prize possessions. What do you do for fun? My English bulldog, Jimmy, is the Mayor of Dog Beach, so we go there every week and hold office hours. Describe your greatest accomplishment. Along with hundreds of other physicians, I help to end dog killing teaching exercises as part of the required curriculum in the first year Physiology and Pharmacology courses at UCSD’s School of Medicine. They still have an elective dog-killing lab in Pharmacology, but far fewer dogs are killed now. We have helped convert the wholesale slaughter of the innocents into a boutique brutality still inflicted to an unfortunate few at UCSD. What is your philosophy of life? Except with respect to cruelty to animals, about which I am grim and humorless, I agree with Oscar Wilde who said, “Life is too important to be taken seriously.”

To sell your home faster...use these proven strategies: 1 To get the best asking price, pull the “best comps.” 2 Realize your potential buyer is local...78% of the buying
pool either live in La Jolla or in an adjacent town—so market locally. 3 Make sure your home is marketed aggressively and showcased in local media. Strategy #1: Price is the key, so price your home to sell. Since they have the biggest sway in determining your home’s value, you want comps, which determine a price, putting yours in the most attractive standpoint. For prices of homes that sold last week, you can check the LaJolla Light real estate section.. For prices of homes that sold yesterday, go to LaJolla Light.com. Select comps as close to your address as possible. But note, there are exceptions. For example, a comp close to you may not be good because it sits higher on the hill, and has phenomenal views, or it’s closer to a main arterial or freeway. But a house similar to yours could be a mile away, and still part of the same market since neigh-
borhoods don’t always have neat boundaries. And homes in developments should be compared against comps from the same development since these homes were built together at the same time, by the same builder/developer. Remember, a good agent will help you price your home correctly.
Strategy #2: Your buyer (most likely) lives here in La Jolla or in an adjoining town...so focus your advertising in the local newspaper. According to research by First American Title company here in San Diego, the buyer for your home lives right here in La Jolla or just a few miles away. 78% of the buying
pool live within 5 miles, while 15% come from out of state and 6% from out of the county. The point is, most people moving in La Jolla are moving to a different street in La Jolla. It’s a coveted place to live. And when people move here they plant deep roots in the community. The La Jolla Light newspaper is the only paper in town that’s delivered by the U.S. Post Office into each and every home. So everybody gets it. And because the content is hyper-local, most everybody reads it. And prospective home-buyers actively search The Light for homes. Listings show up in this newspaper that don’t appear in other papers. According to the percentages, the most likely buyer for your home is reading The Light this week...and next. If you’re home isn’t shown in The Light, you’re missing a potential buyer.
Strategy #3: Make sure your home is marketed aggressively and showcased in local media. In choosing an agent, review their marketing plan for selling your home and be sure it includes advertising in the local paper. If there is more than one paper, pick the one that carries the most real estate ads. While the internet is often a free source of distribution, research by Borrell Associates shows that 66% of home buyers rely on the local newspaper, compared to only 20% using the internet. It’s your agents job to sell your home for the maximum amount. This effort takes a fully developed marketing and sales plan that includes: With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is prepared to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.
Ask your agent if they are using the La Jolla Light and sister publications. If not, have your agent call the La Jolla Light at 858-875-5945 and ask for Claire to get your home sold faster.
