Shores market owners seek way out BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com La Jolla Shores Market owners and landlord Bill Kellogg are looking for someone to take over the 7,495square-foot, ground-floor retail space at 2259 Avenida De La Playa. “Whether or not someone who takes the space and wants to be a grocery store or a 24-hour fitness … We can’t stay here anymore — we’re
not making ends meet,” said Sancharee Spain, who along with husband Jim, has owned the neighborhood market for six years. Noting most Shores’ businesses are seasonal and summer-dependent, Spain said: “We had a really bad summer last year because it was so cold. That hurt us.” Located three blocks from the beach off La Jolla Shores Drive, the
market offers farm-fresh produce and a full-service meat counter, fresh seafood, roasted chickens and prepared meats. The market also has a sizable liquor and wine section, and offers hot and cold snacks, grocery items and a wide assortment of beach gear. “The weather was not good last

Investor reinvents Copley Library BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com enovation is nearly complete on the iconic 15,000-square-foot, ivy-covered former Copley Library at 1134 Kline St. The building is being converted by new owner Kevin Kinsella as exhibit space “for things of significance to La Jolla,” including his one-ofa-kind Jersey Boys collection to open with an invitationonly event April 27. In April 2010, Kinsella, who runs private venture
R
capital fund Avalon Ventures, bought the Copley Library property for $3.75 million with the intention of maintaining it as a library for his collection of art and books, and as an exhibit space. Last week, Kinsella, who uses a portion of the building for his offices, received a present from Bob Mosher and two other La Jolla architects, Tom Grunow and Trip Bennett, who are helping him remodel: the library building’s original hand-drawn designs.

Cars run the gamut at Motor Car Classic BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com The stars of the show at the seventh annual La Jolla Motor Car Classic this Sunday will be the vehicles themselves, and this year’s lineup includes a rare Tucker owned by the late automotive entrepreneur himself, a custompainted 1972 Volkswagen “hippie” bus and a locally owned 1954 Ford V-6 that was sponsored by Juan Peron in the 1954 Panam V. The collectible vehicles will be among the 150 classic autos in 30 specialty classes, plus antique motorcycles, on display at Ellen Browning Scripps Park at the Cove from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the event which has car enthusiasts “buzzing” from near and far. The Tucker is truly a prize, one of the “rarest of the rare,” of which only 47 of 51 ever produced remain. This one, owned by the entrepreneur himself and his wife, was “secreted” away from public view from for many years before being purchased in August 2010 by Eric Breslow.

“It’s a godsend: You understand the building and you’re putting it to good use and you’re retaining it,” said Mosher while handing over the drawings. He and the late Roy Drew co-designed the building, which went up in 1980-81. “It could have been knocked down; it could have been turned into condominiums,” noted Grunow. In 2010, Grunow Construction began working with

Whitney project opponents fight back By DAve SChwAB daves@lajollalight.com Opponents of Bob and Kim Whitney’s controversial proposal to build a mixed-use, three-story project in La Jolla Shores have labeled the developer’s allegation of Brown Act violations by the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) “totally irresponsible” and “without merit.” “Whitney and his lawyer made broad-based allegations without tying it to any specific code section at all in saying the planning group violated the Brown Act (calling for open and transparent public meetings),” said Bernie Segal, a
Shores resident who has been vocal in his opposition to the project. “Their attack is totally unjustified and an effort to try to impose on La Jolla a massive project this community does not want.” The Whitneys have proposed demolishing a one-story residence and store at Avenida de la Playa and Paseo Grande in La Jolla Shores and replacing it with 2,300 square feet of street-level retail space with parking underground and two condos above. In July 2010, their project was approved by a city hearing officer, but it

Bird Rock woman a magnet for lost dogs By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com Bird Rock resident Lorri Sabban found another lost dog last week. While that may not seem unusual, she’s found so many in recent weeks that her friend gave her a lead to carry with them on their morning walks. This find — the fifth in about a month — was a golden retriever, she wrote in an e-mail. “He darted out in front of my truck on Draper. No tags,” she wrote. “So, I took him to the local vet on Draper and they looked for a micro-chip. Nothing. Poor guy.” Sabban, who used to have a black lab, said she knew the next step would be for an Animal Control officer to pick the pup up and take him to the shelter, where he would be held for two weeks to see if the owner claimed him. If not, he would be up for adoption. “I left the vet with such a heavy heart,” she added. But her sadness was short-lived. At the end of her walk a little later, an Animal Control officer drove by and asked us if anyone was looking for a lost golden. “I told the lady that I had just found him,” she wrote. “Then, a car pulled up from behind and the driver said he had lost his golden. So the Animal Control lady followed him back to his house on Fern Glen. Happy Ending. Lucky dog! Lucky owner!” The moral, she said, is that if a dog “goes missing, owners should know the best course of action is to call the local vets and then Animal Control.” That — or live near Sabban. Her other finds included Paris, Buddy, Rocky and Cody — all found on Cardeno Street. “I genuinely just want to see a happy ending,” the mother of two said. “I wish dog owners would

be more vigilant about putting ID tags on their dogs and getting them micro-chipped.” Daniel DeSousa, spokesman for the county’s Department of Animal Services, followed up with an e-mail emphasizing “that if a person finds a stray dog that they must notify the Department of Animal Services and either bring the animal to the shelter or arrange for an animal control officer to pick up the dog (as was done in this case).” That’s because any one who is looking for a lost pet will turn to the shelter and “may not look at a veterinary hospital much less another residence in the neighborhood,” he added. Anyone turning in a lost animal can put a “finder’s hold” on the pet and will be given the first chance to adopt the pet if it’s not claimed. The department has a spot on its website where people can go if they have lost a pet: www.sddac.com/ lostandfound.asp.
Motorcyle crash closes roads La Jolla Village Drive was closed at Torrey Pines Road for a while on Saturday when a 25-year-old motorcyclist crashed into the center divider of a La Jolla road near UC San Diego, seriously injuring his leg, police said. The man was riding with two other motorcyclists in the 3200 block of Torrey Pines Road when he hit the center divider at around 2:30 p.m., said San Diego police Officer Frank Cali. He was ejected from his bike and hospitalized with a serious leg injury, according to a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department dispatcher. The other two riders were not involved in the crash, Cali said. — City News Service
Revelle Lecture looks at Gulf of Mexico oil disaster Nancy Rabalais, executive director and a professor at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, will present “Troubled Waters in the Gulf of Mexico” at 4 p.m. on April 5. Her talk is the 12th annual Roger Revelle Commemorative Lecture,
presented by the Ocean Studies Board, part of the U.S. National Research Council. The event, at the Scripps Seaside Forum 8610 Kennel Way in La Jolla Shores, is free and open to the public. With the approach of the one-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil well blowout, Rabalais’ lecture will highlight the challenges of developing and implementing large-scale restoration plans for the Gulf Coast ecosystem. Rabalais, who holds a Ph.D. in zoology from the Nancy Rabalais University of Texas at Austin, researches the dynamics of oxygen-depleted environments, interactions of large rivers with the coastal ocean, benthic ecology, science policy and other areas. She has earned several research awards for her work on the causes and consequences of Gulf hypoxia. The Revelle Lecture was created by the Ocean Studies Board to honor former Scripps Oceanography Director Roger Revelle for his contributions to ocean sciences and his dedication to making scientific knowledge available to policymakers.

LJHS Persian Club a learning experience
LJHS students encourage cars to honk in support of its ‘Conquer the Cuts’ campaign.
La Jolla High students rally to ‘Conquer the Cuts’ BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com A group of about 20 La Jolla High students will rally again in front of the school Friday, imploring vehicles passing by to honk in support of La Jolla High School Foundation’s drive to raise $200,000 to “maintain the status quo.” Last Friday, students’ screaming was loud and honking by supportive passers-by was responsive. Called “Conquer the Cuts,” the fundraising campaign was begun recently, spearheaded by foundation board members Beth Penny and Dana Irwin. The name symbolizes that the school and students “are victims, but that they are conquerors.” By Monday morning, the campaign had raised $105,000 since it was launched on March 2. On Friday, ASB President Victoria Frager donned Viking horns and led the morning rally on Nautilus Street. “In implementing budget cuts they’re taking about cutting nine of our teachers and a lot of our school programs which are really important to us,” she said. “So we thought we would do our part to increase awareness

about the Conquer the Cuts program.” The students also held a rally and bake sale at the school on Saturday, raising $250. “We want to just get people to actually go online,” she said. “If people see us out here in the morning, then maybe they will come to the bake sale and go online.” The ASB president added the rally is “something we’ll probably do a couple more weekends.” To donate to the campaign, visit the school’s website at www.ljhs.sandi.net.

BY RogER Li La Jolla isn’t known for its ethnic diversity, but the minority groups that exist at La Jolla High are proud of their roots. These feelings have manifested into several cultural clubs on campus, including MEChA, Asian Club, Irish Club and, one of the most active, the Persian Club. Under the leadership of president and La Jolla High senior Yasamin Elahi, Persian Club has established a positive campus presence. Currently, there are 20 regular members, but the club has been growing ever since it was restarted last year. Each meeting involves a discussion of different aspects of Persian culture, which range from food to holidays to history to contemporary politics. According to Elahi, the meeting “is a place for people to come and talk about interesting topics relating to their Persian background. (Members) don’t just sit and listen, like many other clubs. It’s an active experience.” She says, however, the primary goals of the club aren’t focused on discussions at

actual holiday. This year, the club participated in a charshambe soori at Mission Bay Park. The Persian teens were exposed to a variety of cultural traditions, like jumping over a bonfire to burn away the misfortunes of the past year. By bringing members to more celebrations and holidays, she believes LJHS teens can see “a new side of Iranian life.” Some members of the club were also involved earlier this year in painting the school’s spirit benches with the words “Free Iran.”

Street collapses, water main breaks in Bird Rock
Speaking of Rotary
F
our La Jolla High students participated in La Jolla Rotary Club’s annual speech contest last week at La Valencia Hotel. First place went to Nicholas Halbert, a musician/organist aspiring to be an orchestral conductor, for his speech outlining a bold solution to homelessness in San Diego. Ralph Sathre, an Eagle Scout who wants to attend the Naval Academy, took second-place with his take on happiness. Two other contest finalists were Rishi Sangani who spoke on sports teams and
bargaining and Haziq Siddiqi who spoke on Hispanic racism/assimilation. Halbert will go on to the regional semifinals, and hopefully to the district finals next month. Each student received a cash prize and a plaque. In
their speeches, all four students addressed the “Rotary Four Way Test of the things We Think Say and Do.” Those are: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Is it beneficial to all concerned?

737 Pearl St., Ste. 108 La Jolla • 858.456.2114
By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com The road remained closed Tuesday after a large section of collapsed street and a broken water main in front of 5915 La Jolla Hermosa in Bird Rock. “You should have been here earlier when the backhoe fell into the hole,” said Rima Singer who lives right in front of the affected street section and witnessed it give way. “Apparently the backhoe was in there cleaning out stuff, and part of the concrete gave way underneath him and he went right into the hole so he was sort of at an angle. They had to pull him out with a crane about two hours ago (11 a.m.).” Singer said the street had been starting to sink. “So they (water crews) came out to see what was going on,” she said. “They figured it was going to be a quick repair, not knowing what was going on underneath.” Arian Collins, public information officer for the city’s Public Utilities Department, said an emergency water main was shut down about noon after an 8-inch concrete water main was hit by a city street division crew. He added 15 residential water customers on the 5900 block of La Jolla Hermosa were without water. He estimated repairs would be completed by that evening. Singer said nothing like this has ever happened in her neighborhood. She said she overheard water crews discussing speculation about a leak “somewhere in the storm drain pipe further down.” “They don’t want to repair this (street rupture) till they know if it’s (pipe’s) leaking, and if it’s leaking, where it’s leaking,” Singer said. “They’re talking about running a camera through it in order to get a picture of what’s going on.” Water was restored after crews rigged a temporary fix. Earlier, Joe Parker, Bird Rock Community Council president, reported what he assumed to be a sewer spill at the overlook at Chelsea and Camino de la Costa that he noticed while out walking his dog.

FROM WHITNEY, A3 has since been subjected to multiple appeals. In January, the city Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve development permits and declared that an environmental impact report for the project was unnecessary. That vote would have let the project proceed except that LJCPA President Joe LaCava appealed the decision to the City Council, which the Whitneys say was done without action by the full board and thus a violation of the Brown Act. The group does not meet again until April 7, but LaCava has said they are taking the challenge “very seriously.” The planning group’s appeal, originally scheduled for March 29, has been postponed until May 3 at 2 p.m. Segal and attorney Julie Hamilton, who represents the project’s opponents, say the couple’s Brown Act violation claim is a red herring. “All of this is an effort to try and avoid coming to grips with the community, which is opposed to the massiveness of the project,” said Segal. “They need to exhaust their administrative remedies, which they never did.” Segal responded to another Whitney contention that a series of e-mails among planning group members about their project constituted an attempt to reach “collective concurrence,” an alleged Brown Act violation as well as a violation of City Council and LJCPA rules.

■ La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) Appeal set to be heard at 2 p.m. May 3. “I believe the Brown Act does not apply to private individuals, only the government,” Segal said. “In this case, there’s no need for that. The CPA ratified what it had previously done. Their contention that one or two trustees’ exchanged e-mails was a collective action — that’s a joke.” Hamilton said the Whitneys’ threatened lawsuit against the planning group could backfire. “The reality is there is simply no merit to his allegations,” she said. “He stands the risk of losing the lawsuit and having some form of sanctions against him because it’s a frivolous action.” Hamilton said the Whitneys claim of Brown Act violations by LJCPA is simply an attempt “to try and keep the planning group from doing their job.” She said the advisory group simply has established a policy allowing the president to file an appeal in between meetings if the group previously denied a project in an open meeting. The Whitneys contend the new rule requires follow-up action by the group after the fact and say that never happened so the appeal must be withdrawn. Their attorney has sent a “cure and correct” request to the La Jolla Community Planning Association
with a request for action by April 2. If no action is taken by then, they will ask the court to invalidate the action, the letter states. Both Segal and Hamilton believe it is still possible for the Whitneys and the community to reach a compromise. “Were they to reduce the project to a scale more compatible with the rest of the development in La Jolla Shores commercial center, they’d be able to get the community’s support,” Hamilton said. “The building is too big for that project site. By reducing the size of the building, you’d solve all of the other problems because you’d have more space to work with.” “If you were to scale it down it would be welcome,” agreed Segal. “Once you have a building of this magnitude permitted, every other storeowner on the block will want to do the same thing.” Segal and Hamilton contend the Whitney project’s Floor Area Ratio (FAR), the percentage of the lot taken up by the building, is excessive. “It’s about 50 percent larger than it should be to be compatible for this type of property,” said Segal. Whitney says there is no FAR limitation on commercial-zoned property in La Jolla Shores. He has a letter from former city architect Michael Stepner backing his position as well as a note from 2007 from Dale Naegle, the original architect on the project who owns the adjacent property and is now opposed to Whitney’s plan.

Boys raise $1,000 for tsunami victims Four La Jolla boys held a bake sale Sunday to raise money for victims of the recent Japanese tsunami, raising more than $1,000. Nick, Casey and Aidan Holden and Drew Yashar, ages 7 to 10, had watched the news of Japan’s earthquake and the resulting tsunami and began talking about the unfortunate victims of the disaster. One of the boys said, “We are so lucky here; we should do something to help these poor people.” Over the next hour, they brainstormed ideas on how they could help. They decided that a bake sale in their Bird Rock neighborhood would be a great way to raise money to send to the Japanese victims.
Drew yashar, aidan holden, Nick holden and casey holden raised more than $1,000 to help victims of the recent Japanese tsunami. CourteSy
Over the next two days the boys made signs to advertise their cause and, with a little help, baked dozens of brownies, cakes, and cookies to sell along with lemonade. They held their sale on Sunday n front of the CVS Pharmacy on La Jolla Boulevard. The sale drew many buyers
happy to help the cause, including one extremely generous customer who agreed to match any money they raised. All of the money collected will be sent to the Red Cross, specifically to help the tsunami victims. — Submitted by Emmet Holden
Volunteers needed for bike path cleanup on Saturday Glen Rasmussen, a longtime member of the Village Streetscape Committee and Town Council trustee, is looking for volunteers to help remove weeds from the community’s bike path this Saturday. He asks volunteers to meet at Vicente Way at 9 a.m., requesting that they bring bags, rakes, gloves, hats and water. The La Jolla bike path extends from the fire sta-
tion across the street from La Jolla High on Nautilus Street to Via Del Norte in Bird Rock near the pocket park at La Jolla Methodist Church. “A lot of weeds dry out on the path and become dangerous for pets and a fire hazard,” said Rasmussen. “We do this weed control, without touching any native plants, cutting the wild oats and foxtails. We get a permit from the city to do it.” For more information call (858) 456-9751.

Children’s Pool ranger asks out Transfer request leaves La Jolla beach unattended By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer Lisa Wilson, the ranger recently hired by the city of San Diego to patrol Children’s Pool, has requested and been granted a transfer. “That ranger position will effectively be open on Saturday (April 2),” said Stacey LoMedico, the city’s Park and Recreation director, adding funding for that position derived from an anonymous donor is scheduled to run out June 30. “Funding was for one fiscal year,” she said. Any request to renew funding for that ranger position will have to go through the usual annual city budget deliberation process. “The mayor’s proposed budget comes out April 15,” LoMedico said, noting the donation for the Children’s Pool ranger ‘s salary is being handled through the San Diego Foundation. Asked whether the ranger would be replaced temporarily, LoMedico replied: “We’re evaluating our options now.” “I understand the Park and Recreation Department plans to bring back provisional Park Ranger Randy Hawley to patrol the Children's Pool while they work to identify longer-term options,” said First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner. “I am very committed to
keeping the Ranger program going. I believe the ranger provides the best solution to ensure that all visitors to the Children's Pool have a safe and enjoyable experience while also keeping the seals safe.” Lightner added private fundraising efforts are ongoing to ensure the program can continue beyond the end of this fiscal year on June 30. Meanwhile, altercations at Children’s Pool have been on the increase, with both pro-seal and pro-beach access parties challenging the legal status quo at the pool. Seal advocates continue to operate a “free speech” table at the pool without a permit, while those advocating open access to the beach continue to recreate at the beach near seals. One group had a campfire there last weekend, that appeared from photos taken by a tourist from Detroit to be inside the rope barrier. A police spokesman said officers responded to a call complaining about shouting match and possible altercation last weekend, but no one was cited. “As long as their behavior does not aggravate or flush those seals, they’re within their legal rights,” said San Diego Police Lt. Jim Filley. Those interested in contributing to the ranger program can contact Lightner’s office at 619-236-6611 or e-mail sherrilightner@sandiego.gov.

FROM CARS, A1 Breslow related the story of how he acquired an automotive “legend.” “I’d been looking for one for years trying through auctions,” he said. “This one was in private hands and had been bought from Tucker’s wife in 1963. The car had been hidden in South Dakota for 50 years.” Breslow said he bought his Tucker from the family of J. Busker, who had purchased the car from Tucker’s wife after Busker’s heirs had inherited clear title to it. “I happened to catch them on the right day at the right time,” said Breslow, who purchased it and keeps it in his private museum which can be accessed at www.breslowcollection.com. “This isn’t just a Tucker,” said Breslow. “It was Preston Tucker’s Tucker, very historically important, and tested at Indy Raceway. It was one of the cars (used) in the movie ‘Tucker: The Man and His Dream.’ ” Breslow said the last Tucker that exchanged hands sold for $1.2 million, adding, “I would think this car would break the bank.” Another featured car, one of two being shown by La Jolla

San Diego Automotive Museum will display a 1972 Volkswagen bus at the La Jolla Motor Car Classic. The airbrushed bus pays homage to the hippie era. COURTESY resident Howard Singer, is a 1954 “Straight 6, 223 cubic inch” Ford that finished 71st out of 300 cars entered in the last trans-Mexico road race. “None of the V-8s finished,” Singer said, noting that they all overheated. The car was driven by Americo Guzzini and Marcelo Bernardo Guzzini and bears the name “PERON,” for its sponsor, the legendary Argentinian dictator. Singer also has managed to get an Ohio license plate with the word “PERON” on it. He purchased the car in 2002 and drove it straight to a museum in Auburn, Ind.
Prior to this weekend, which will be the first time it will be seen in California, the car’s only other public showing was at a vintage grand prix show in Pittsburgh, where Singer grew up.

FROM LIBRARY, A1 Trip Bennett AIA (Bennett & Associates) to complete renovations and updates to the building, including matching new windows and doors, moving partitions for offices, and upgrading the theater and display areas. The lighting was upgraded to new, much more energy-efficient LED lighting. Kinsella said he’s always fancied the building but never imagined he’d ever have the opportunity to enter it, let alone purchase it, as it was previously owned by newspaper magnate James Copley for his private collections. “It’s just this wonderful slice from the East Coast that looks like it had been dropped out of Harvard Square right into La Jolla,” he said. “I just fell in love with the building. It was always mysterious.” In fall 2009, Kinsella’s lease for Avalon was about to expire and he was looking for new space to buy rather than lease. When he found out the Copley Library was on the market, he couldn’t resist. For one thing, it’s the perfect venue to showcase his Jersey Boys collection. “I’m the largest investor in

•
By Jeanie Scott Eight years ago, Gillispie School teacher Jessica Epperson, then the student council adviser, suggested to the council’s class representatives that they create an international learning event for the school. During the brainstorming session, the students realized that recruiting their parents to help run the event would let them enjoy more of the learning fun first-hand. That first year, Epperson and the students recruited enough parents to create nine immersive classroom environments representing various countries. This year, more than 50 parents, grandparents, extended family, and teachers “hosted” 12 different countries for the eighth annual International Day. During a day without classes for grades prekindergarten through Grade 6, students traveled from room to room with handmade passports and travel bags. Each room represented a different country and was decorated and otherwise prepared by parent and teacher volunteers to provide an engaging experience for students. They hear national music, see flags, eat local and ethnic foods, pursue other relevant physical activities (games, dance, drumming, singing), and learn a great deal of history during educational presentations. The first parent volunteer meeting is held in November — a full five months

history while viewing photos taken by Drucker while she lived in Denmark and recent visits. They “sailed” in a cardboard Viking boat hand-painted by the volunteers, sampled a Denmark pastry, also homemade by the parents, and painted rocks with a Viking motif as one of their souvenirs. Epperson’s vision from eight years ago has grown into one of the most beloved days of the school year and there is no shortage of parent volunteers who are willing to help as “teachers for a day" as they share their knowledge and time.

Witnesses and teen victims testify about Bird Rock crash
FROM MARKET, A1 summer and I know that impacted their sales and put them in a precarious position questioning whether they could hang in there,” said Kellogg, whose family has owned the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club for generations. “We’re looking for new tenants for that space, either to take over the business or take over the lease. We can arrange that.” Kellogg said the two-story building housing the market was built in 1961 in memory of his great-grandfather, F.W. Kellogg. “We’ve only had three tenants and they’ve all been market operators in that major space,” he said. “The anchor tenant has always been a market.” Other tenants in the building include La Jolla Postal and Squires delicatessen. There is also 500 square feet of office space available upstairs. Kellogg said rent in the retail space is $2.25 to $2.50 a square foot. “That’s the base rent and triple net expenses are 45 cents a square foot,” he said, adding the commercial space

Losing La Jolla Shores Market would impact the community, said Joe Dicks of La Jolla Shores Association. “The overwhelming input that I have received from community members during my tenure on the board, and as chair, is that the market is a much needed and appreciated resource,” he said. “Many have referred to the market as ‘beloved’ and will miss it terribly.” Spain said it’s especially
difficult this time of year during the slow winter offseason. “This whole street is a seasonal street,” she said. “Business for the kayak shops and pretty much everybody else dies during the winter once it gets cold and people go back to school. The economy also hasn’t come back all the way yet. For us, it’s just been a mix of everything.” Noting the landlord is working with them to find a taker for their space, Spain said: “We’re hanging in. We’re going to do the best we can to hold on as long as we can.”
By KELLy WHEELER City News Service Testimony was set to continue through the week in the trial of a man accused of running his car onto a La Jolla sidewalk and hitting three teenagers before crashing into a bakery. On Monday, a witness testified the driver was acting “erratic” and wanted to know how his vehicle got inside the business. (For the latest, go to www.lajollalight.com.) Brad Partington testified on Monday that he was leaving work last Aug. 15 about 6:30 p.m. when he heard a “metal on metal” sound and saw a car driven by Ronald Troyer hit a roundabout and run onto the sidewalk on La Jolla Boulevard. Troyer’s car hit an electrical box and the teenagers before crashing into the Cass Street Cafe, Partington testified. The witness said he saw two victims go up in the air after being hit and observed a man inside the bakery with a head wound.

Troyer said “What happened? What happened?” as he got out of his car inside the bakery, Partington testified. The witness said Troyer grabbed some papers from inside the car and started to walk away from the crash before being detained. “I heard him say, ‘Someone has stolen my car. What is my car doing here?’ ” Partington testified. The witness said he couldn’t tell if Troyer was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but said the defendant was acting “erratic” and wondering what was going on right after the crash. Troyer, 66, is charged with driving under the influence of drugs causing great bodily injuries, reckless driving causing injuries, failing to perform his duties following an accident that caused permanent injuries and driving on a suspended license. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, said Deputy District Attorney David Uyar. One of the injured teenagers, Alani Aguerre, testified that she heard a friend yell “Watch out!” just before the accident. The crash dragged the 14year-old girl into the bakery, where she was found pinned under Troyer’s car. She said she was in a coma for two weeks and her speech was checked when she woke up.
“They (doctors) just wanted to see if my brain was working well,” the girl testified. She suffered injuries to her left shin, hip and right arm. Another 14-year-old victim, Myles Polger, said he was walking with a group from a Mexican restaurant to a friend’s house when the accident happened. The boy, now 15, said he saw Troyer’s car hit the roundabout at an angle at about 30-35 mph. “It was going pretty fast,” the witness said, recalling that he blacked out and was on the ground, with arm and leg injuries, when he regained consciousness. A passenger in Troyer’s car, Jeffrey Stewart, testified Friday that he tried to get the defendant to pull over just before the crash. Stewart, who described Troyer as a friend, said they were headed toward a scenic vista to look at the surf when the driver spotted a classic 1956 Chevrolet carrying some young people and then, without explanation, took his foot off the accelerator and coasted at a slow speed. When the vehicle struck the curb of a roundabout hard, Stewart suggested to Troyer that he stop driving, he said. n More online: Read the rest of this story at www.lajollalight.com

Design Line earns honors Design Line Interiors, whose president Dawn Davidson is a La Jolla resident recently won two national design awards. The firm received both Gold and Silver awards for its interior design work at the Rockrose project in Carlsbad during the recent International Builders Show in Orlando, Fla. Dawn In praising Design Line’s Davidson work, the judges made
special note of the “living wall” incorporated into the Plan 2 model, which won Silver award. Each home goes 35 percent beyond the state of California’s energy-efficiency standards. In a press release Davidson said, “The flexibility in terms of size, coupled with various plant combinations make ‘living walls’ a viable project for any home; they help save money on energy bills by limiting thermal fluctuation; improve room acoustics, and enhance one’s well being via improved indoor air quality.”

Fix our potholes — NOW! Our VieW To adopt a line from a movie of days past: “We’re mad as hell about our potholes and we’re not gonna take it anymore.” Whether you drive up and down La Jolla Parkway, up or down Torrey Pines Road or through our neighborhoods, it’s tough to find a street that doesn’t force you to dodge a dip or let out a few choice words when your car hits one. In our campaign to put attention on this problem down at City Hall, we should look to our friends in Scripps Ranch and Councilman Carl DeMaio. In the latest edition of the Scripps Ranch Civic Association newsletter,
the councilman announces a “Road Repair Rally, with the goal of documenting and repairing every pothole on the Ranch in one day.” He calls for volunteers to document the holes and report to the city staff, which will have a crew on hand that day to fill in as many as possible as they are identified. What a great idea! We call on Sherri Lightner and our La Jolla Town Council to follow the Scripps Ranch lead. Between that and our campaign to get people to take photos of La Jolla potholes and send them to us, maybe our rides will be a little less bumpy. We know San Diego has financial problems that are challenging the way city officials do business. But this pot-

hole mess just keeps getting deeper and deferred maintenance isn’t helping. The longer they wait to fix the damaged streets, the more expensive it becomes to do the repairs. And while the city is doing what it can, its announced plans to resurface streets around the city barely scratches the heart of our community. The initial list for work in 92037 in Fiscal Year 2011 included sections of La Jolla Village Drive, Via Capri, Draper Avenue, Pearl Street and Soledad Mountain Road, along with a few others. Lightner got them to add some parts of Prestwick Drive and Campina Place. We don’t have a solid answer on how to solve this problem short of raising a whole lot of money (Maybe
an “Adopt a Pothole” fund ?) or do-ityourself repairs (Don’t think that would fly!). But DeMaio’s idea is definitely a step in the right direction. Sherri Lightner, Town Council, are you reading this? The ball’s in your court. In the meantime, anyone who sees a pothole should take a photo, fill out our form on page A13 and either mail or e-mail it to us. We will deliver the package of photos to City Hall and publish a pothole photo on our editorial page every week until they are all fixed. And if you see a pothole report immediately to the Street Division at http://apps.sandiego.gov/streetdiv/ or by calling (619) 527-7500.

Like many residents along Torrey Pines Road and the surrounding neighborhoods, I have dreamed of seeing real improvements to the aesthetics and safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists along this corridor for years. On Jan. 19, I was puzzled by the city engineer’s recommendation to start work at the end of Torrey Pines Road near La Jolla Shores Drive (Segment
4). Then I was stunned to read that the La Jolla Shores Association voted unanimously to prioritize Segment 4. More people would benefit from improvements to Segment 1 and Segment 2 (Prospect Street to Coast Walk, Coast Walk to Hillside Dr/Viking Street, respectively). The sidewalks and bike lanes between Prospect and Princess Street connect the Village to the Shores, and potentially connect the South (uphill)

nation needs to nurture, not negate, public broadcasting YOur VieW Michael flaster La Jolla resident I have watched with growing concern how the national debate over what constitutes the public good has been reduced to political fiats. Hamhanded attempts at defunding all things public, from education to healthcare and now public broadcasting, have moved forward with reckless abandon and little consideration for the consequences. The recent sound and fury which suggests that federal and state support for the arts, humanities and broadcasting are not in our collective interest rests on a specious argument: that these public goods could survive in both quantity and quality without such funding. Our city’s commercial classical
music radio station went off the air nearly a decade back and there exists no commercial equivalents to KPBS, KSDS, the San Diego Symphony or the La Jolla Playhouse. This country created the NEA, the NEH and CPB to help ensure broad access to excellence. Since our nation’s founding we have created non-commercial entities to complement the commercial marketplace and provide services that would otherwise be unavailable or inaccessible to many. There is a reason that Public Broadcasting content is different from that of its commercial brethren. Its mission demands that PBS and NPR stations aspire to more than bottomline goals and federal subsidies keep them somewhat insulated from the vicissitudes of the marketplace. Should those subsidies go away, public broadcasters would most likely become another marketplace creature
whose fare will more and more approximate that of commercial outlets. As a nation, we have nurtured a partially subsidized public media system precisely because we value universally accessible in-depth reporting, informed civil discourse as well as great performances and meaningful science, history and children’s programming. Behind today’s political demagoguery is a purposeful anti-intellectual agenda. While public funding to schools, the arts and broadcasting are called into question, similar subsidies to public basketball programs (go Aztecs!) and public stadium incentives (go Chargers!) are encouraged. It has been this country’s embrace of a wide range of public/private partnerships that has been key to our collective success. Commercial broadcasters use the public airwaves, the cable industry uses publicly fi-
nanced infrastructure and the Internet developed as a direct result of publicly funded research and continues to grow as a result of an ongoing tax moratorium. Public broadcasting would not exist without the support of a strong and enlightened commercial marketplace. In turn, KPBS and other publicly subsidized educational and cultural institutions enrich our lives and our communities. Michael Flaster, a long-time La Jolla resident, is the former associate general Manager for programming for KPBS Radio and Television. He was the architect of the radio station’s news and information format and created the popular programs “These Days” and “A Way With Words.” His works have received numerous regional and national honors and in 1995 he was named Public Television’s Programmer of the Year. For the past decade he has worked as a media consultant and educator.

Editor’s note: The two Community Views below are representative of the letters the Light has been receiving from readers on both sides of the proposal for a farmers market to support Bird Rock Elementary School. We don’t have enough space this week to publish all of the letters, but have posted them at www.lajollalight.com/category/news/opinion/.
Community view
Some church neighbors like market idea
Other church neighbors have an alternative
By Stacey Haerr Upper Hermosa I think the proposed weekly farmers market (Friday nights) at the La Jolla United Methodist Church is a fantastic idea and hope it comes to fruition. I live directly behind the church, and even though our street (Beaumont Avenue) may be impacted with overflow traffic, I am in full support of the market. The benefits of a weekly market definitely outweigh the possible traffic inconveniences. I welcome the smell of cultural foods wafting through the air and will be more than pleased to share our neighborhood with locals looking for fresh fruits and vegetables, and whatever other goodies the market may bring. I have lived in Bird Rock for over 24 years and here on Beaumont for the past 13 years and know some of my neighbors make a point to fight every change, yet after the change is implemented, i.e., making the Beaumont 4th of July parade an official event, or making improvements to the park adjacent to the church, these same neighbors take full advantage of these lovely additions to our neighborhood. I can't help but think that they will enjoy the market once it is in place. My children have moved on from Bird Rock Elementary so my family will not directly benefit from the money generated for the school. My motivation is to support the broader community. Although a market might impact the quiet nature of our street I still believe it will be an asset to our community. Please know there are at least eight families on the 6000 and 6100 block of Beaumont (directly behind the church) in full support of the market and hope that our voices count as much as those who do not support the market.

from roadS, a18 side of Torrey Pines Road to both the Village and the Shores. These are very large pools of pedestrians. The La Jolla Half Marathon, the Susan G Komen 3 Day Walk for the Cure, marathon training groups, track clubs, triathalon events and bicycle tours use the sidewalks between Princess and Prospect Streets, almost exclusively. Further, according to the engineering consultants presenting the plan, Segments 1 and 2 both have the most urgent need for safety improvements. At the Feb. 24 special meeting of Traffic &
We, the undersigned, live less than a block from the Mira Monte Plaza Methodist Church and are strongly opposed to the proposed farmers market to be held there each Friday afternoon. The anticipated problems with traffic, noise, commotion and crowding by vendors and hundreds of shoppers and just curious visitors have been amply discussed by others in the past. We are concerned that each Friday for up to a total of eight hours or more our narrow street will become inundated with an overflow of cars, trucks and milling crowds. The setting up and tearing down of the vendors’ stall, the use of generators and even cooking classes (!) will result in unacceptable noise, odors and other nuisances for us. It has been asserted that over a hundred signatures have been collected in favor of the farmers market mostly from residents on streets farther removed from the church who would be less affected. In order to make the market more palatable to our neighborhood the promoters have come up with the idea to share a percentage of eventual profits with the Bird Rock Elementary School. The actual benefits for the school in dollars, are of course, unpredictable and at best limited. They may possibly turn out to be zero while we then remain burdened with the market. It appears reasonable that a simple fund drive in our neighborhood for the needs of the school could easily surpass the benefit potential created by the farmers market with the advantage that 100 percent of collected funds would accrue to the school! We feel that the turmoil to be anticipated each Friday is an unfair imposition on our neighborhood by the profiteering promoters of the farmers market and it would degrade and cheapen the residential character of our environment.
Transportation, the consensus among audience members was for improvements to Segment 1 and Segment 2, not Segment 4. What are the benefits of spending $5.8 million on Segment 4 now? Not safety. Not walkability. Let’s move forward on securing permits, detailed engineering and funding for Segments 1 and 2. Let’s get the deferred maintenance on the north side of Segment 4 done (i.e., weeding and fixing toppling fences). Let’s NOT revisit the community planning stages. The plan has already been approved by the LJCPA (Feb. 1, 2007) and City Council in 2008.

Power surge for LJYB teams Four weeks and 80 games into the season, a lot more home runs are being hit and double-plays are becoming routine for La Jolla Youth Baseball. Austin Caulk in Bronco hit a couple of home runs for On the Inside Design team, while Luke Bucon went yard twice for RBC in Pony. Michael Campagna hit a three-run blast for Cass Street in Mustang and Caden Fiorini on Baxter has hit two home runs in Pinto. The “Player of the Week” is Jamie Abrams on Pharmatek in Pony. Not only did he throw seven strikeouts in three innings, but he hit a “Ruthian shot that cleared the scoreboard by 20 feet and was later found down at the Shores parking lot!” according to one of the managers. He followed up that performance with another home run on Saturday afternoon. In addition to the fun on the fields, LJYB is helping
Luke Bradbury of SDG in Bronco at bat. Courtesy out in the community by participating with “Kids Gear for Baseball” to collect and donate used baseball equipment that will be used in other leagues in San Diego. This collection took place March 26. Also in the community, Islands Restaurant in La Jolla is hosting a “LJYB Night at Islands” fundraiser to support the league by donating 20 percent of the proceeds from the evening to La Jolla Youth Baseball.

Alexander Salazar brings finer artistic deals to San Diego A Harvard alumnus, art critic, historian, collector and respected art dealer in La Jolla and Boston for many years, Alexander Salazar opened three locations in 2010 in downtown San Diego Alexander designating some 7,000 square feet to art. Salazar The corner of 7th and Broadway, was transformed into a 2,000square foot-high fine art salon featuring the works of national and international mid-career and emerging artists, and just two doors down at 635 Broadway, Salazar offers an artist-in-residency studio each month to an emerging San Diego artist. Head north to 1040 7th Ave. to see the 5,000-square-foot open gallery space featuring modern and contemporary art. Salazar holds a master’s degree in theology and art from Harvard University and he earned a second master’s in sociology and art from Boston College. While an undergraduate at Colorado College, he lived in London where he studied modern and contemporary art before moving to Florence, Italy to do research on the masters, such as Bernini and Botticelli. With more than 13 years experience as an art dealer around the country, Salazar continues to build museum-quality private, corporate, and celebrity collections worldwide. A collector himself, he said he understands that art is a reflection of oneself and his only requirement for acquiring a work from his gallery is that “you love it!”
Pfizer image contest proves work is both! By JoSeph herrgArd Pfizer Worldwide Communications Special to the Light tate-of-the-art imaging technologies have the ability to enhance the scientific data coming out of Pfizer’s research and development labs, including microscopes that employ X-rays and fluorescent dyes to detect the spread of breast cancer cells or the reduction of lung cancer tumors in lab experiments. But can these images also be viewed as art? Without a doubt, according to Suchitra Ananthnarayan, a scientist at Pfizer La Jolla, one of the company’s major research and development facilities. Ananthnarayan was inspired to launch the site’s first annual Art Microscopy Contest after using a fluorescent microscope in her work pursuing potential cancer drug targets within the company’s Oncology Research Unit. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view samples and objects, such as human and animal cells, which could not otherwise be seen with the unaided eye. “As scientists and non-scientists working on different aspects of making medicines, we can appreciate each other’s roles by understanding the beauty of science,” said Ananthnarayan. “At Pfizer we have state-of-the-art imaging technologies but they are only as outstanding as the experts who operate

Some of the other 47 submissions included an image of cells from pulmonary arteries as photographed by Jeffrey Nickel using a fluorescent imaging microscope at 40x resolution, and a botanical specimen captured by Lars Engstrom using an automated inverted fluorescence/bright field microscope at 20x magnification. The images submitted by Nickel and Engstrom, both scientists in Pfizer’s Oncology Research Unit, tied for second place. Each of the contest winners received gift cards and framed copies of their images. The contest was coordinated by Pfizer La Jolla’s Art Connection, a colleague resource group whose mission is to “support the development, expression, and preservation of arts and culture by providing opportunities, increasing awareness and fostering diversity in cultural arts for the benefit and enjoyment of Pfizer La Jolla Colleagues.” According to co-chair Carolyn Lemm, Art Connection

true or false?
April Fool’s Day was created in 1929 to mark the Wall Street crash. False. The history of April Fool’s Day is uncertain, but the thinking is it began in France in 1582 with the reform of the calendar under Charles IX. When the western world used the Julian calendar, the year began on March 25 to coincide with the start of spring. But since that fell in the Holy Week, they celebrated it on April 1. With the switch to the Gregorian calendar in the 1500s, the New Year was moved to Jan. 1. Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change years later. These people were labeled “fools” by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on “fool errands.” These pranks became known as a “poisson d’avril” or “April fish” because a young naive fish is easily caught. One common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone as a joke. — www.april-fools.us

smoked seafood Plate with Caviar Pepper sauce
In the mood for something unique? Try Pamplemousse Grille By Kelley Carlson he Del Mar racetrack isn’t the only place along Via de la Valle where the turf meets the surf. Pamplemousse Grille, named for the French term for grapefruit and located across the street from the oval, serves a range of entrees from land and sea, from the Kobe Beef Burger to Basil Roasted Chilean Sea Bass. Items are prepared using French, Mediterranean and Asian culinary techniques. “Come with an open mind,” said chef/owner Jeffrey Strauss. “Try to be creative, although there are a few conservative things on the menu. Make the best of it.” Signature dishes include Lobster Ravioli and Mixed Grille of Game, the latter consisting of Venison Chop Au Poivre, Lemon Thyme Marinated Quail and Smoked Breast of Duck. Strauss said he’s most proud of the Smoked Seafood Plate with Caviar Pepper Sauce. There are lunch and dinner menus, and food is also offered during the weekday happy hour, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. There are well drinks and plenty of wine options — the restaurant has more than 2,000 bottles that can range from $30 to $3,000. Specialty cocktails include the Pamplemousse Martini and

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Lobster Ravioli with Seared Scallops, Asparagus, Pear Tomatoes and Ginger Soy Buerre Blanc Trackside Lemonade, a nod to the racetrack crowd that frequents the restaurant during the summer. Be sure to leave room for dessert: Choices include Toasted Coconut Cream Pie with Passion Fruit Coulis and Chocolate Shavings, Warm ChocolateCaramel Cake with Salted Caramel Anglaise and Vanilla Gelato, and a variety of artisan cheeses. Many of the baked goods are prepared in front of guests just inside the entrance. Kids can choose from simpler menu items — there are pastas, chicken fingers, burgers and quesadillas. Strauss said he often teaches young visitors how to use a blowtorch to make crème brulee. Reservations are recommended for the restaurant, which can seat
up to 130 people. Figurative paintings featuring subjects such as pigs, chefs and cafe scenes adorn the walls, and much of the decor consists of wood and neutral colors. A small statue of a swine holding a wheelbarrow full of candy greets guests as they enter the establishment. Along with the bar and main dining room, there are two private dining rooms. The “Wine Cellar” is available for groups of up to 12 people, and has a $1,000 minimum food and beverage requirement; guests can dine a la carte or create a custom limited menu with Strauss’ assistance. “The Cow Palace” accommodates up to 45 people and requires a $1,500 minimum food and beverage purchase; Strauss will help create a customized menu. In regards to the restaurant’s dress code, “We require pockets to hold your wallet,” Strauss said with a smile. If you don’t want to hold your gathering at the restaurant, Pamplemousse Grille offers catering for as few as 10 and as many as 1,000 people. The restaurant serves at venues throughout the county, and even travels around the country. Several big wine dinners are held at Pamplemousse Grille throughout the year.

It’s easy to trick your senses with April Fools’ Foods! Now potatoes have no correlation to toes while the thick, hardened corns you get on your toes have nothing to do with the maize crop.
Kitchen Shrink
By Catharine L. Kaufman With April Fools Day around the corner, let’s have some great food fun. Many foods can fool your taste buds, eyeballs and imagination. Here are some for your amusement. No kidding! n Food Misnomers A coconut is a fruit from the coconut palm tree, not a nut. No nuts in peanuts either, as they’re legumes. And peanut butter is devoid of butter. Same with buttermilk, which is really a low-cal drink. And there’s no nuts or butter in butternut squash. Pineapples have also been misleadingly named; they neither taste nor even vaguely resemble the forbidden fruit. Grapefruit has no connection with those bunches of sweet, juicy grapes. Eggplants, elliptical, purple-skinned nightshades, a first cousin to the tobacco and potato plants, have nothing to do with eggs.
n Size Shenanigans Shrimps are not always the puny, mealy ones you toss in your salads or omelets, especially the jumbo or colossal kinds. Baby carrots are really fully-grown but have been whittled down to appear diminutive and dainty. Then there’s the Green Giant who promotes petite peas and baby limas. n Food Fake Outs A famous restaurant on Fukuoka, the southern most Island of Japan, in better, happier days served masterpieces made of tofu, everything from seafood and vegetable appetizers to soups, main courses, side dishes and elaborate desserts (such as birds in a nest). Vegans worldwide can indulge in fake meat including tofu turkey, (tofurkey), tofu dogs, and textured soy “ground beef.” While Spam is a mystery meat of “spicy ham,” hamburgers do not contain ham. Chefs have now expanded their burger repertoire to include chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, mushrooms, tofu and assorted grains. Super steamed cauliflower
openminds
put through a ricer mixed with butter, milk and spices masquerades as mash potatoes. Spaghetti squash strands topped with marinara sauce is a fabulous veggie linguini. Root veggies shredded and mixed with eggs, flour, seasoning, formed into patties and pan fried pass easily as potato latkes. Finally, for lactose intolerants, frozen treats beautifully mock ice cream made of tofu, rice milk, almond milk, goat’s milk and even hemp milk for pleasant fooleries. n Colorblind Fare Blueberries are really purple, same with blackberries. Red onions are magenta. Potatoes come in hues of violet, rose and yellow, while carrots have morphed into white, yellow and purple varieties as well as the classic orange. And speaking of orange, was the fruit named first, or was it named after the color? Beets are golden hues along with red, and tomatoes are no longer exclusively red, as the heirlooms come in designer shades of golden, green, tie-dye and striped zebra print. n A Hot Tamale People as foods? Anything’s possible on April 1. The hot tamale mentioned above could be your town sexpot
or cheesecake. The geek down the street is an egghead. The hunky pool guy is a beefcake. The fivetime “Jeopardy” champ is a hot dog. The CEO of Google is not only a smart cookie, but a big cheese, while the summer apprentice would be a small fry. The former boxer has cauliflower ears, when people get out of shape they can be saddled with a beer belly, cottage cheese thighs or muffin tops that can make them real crab apples. If you stay as cool as a cucumber and use your noodle, you can cook up dozens more. For me, this is the last straw.
Lamburger on a Bun here’s a grilled lamburger, the leaner, better alternative to the beef hamburger. and this is no joke! • 1 pound of fresh ground lamb • 1 small red onion, diced • 1 garlic clove, minced • 1 teaspoon of spicy mustard • 1 1/2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil • Panko breadcrumbs • Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste For the toppings: Sliced heirloom tomatoes, grilled red onions, roasted red peppers or sautéed mushrooms Directions: In a small fry pan, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until tender. In a large mixing bowl combine the lamb with the remaining ingredients and the sautéed onions. Add enough breadcrumbs until a firm consistency forms. Shape into four patties, and grill to desired doneness or about 4 minutes on each side. Serve on your favorite bun with toppings of your choice.

New CEO plans to expand Ronald McDonald House profile By Catherine KolonKo To begin his new position at Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, Charles Day walked across the street and closed the final chapter on a 15-yearstint at Children’s Hospital but kept a professional commitment to help sick children and their families. “Every family deserves a home away from home,” said Day, 53, explaining the mission of the Ronald McDonald House. A place to rest that feels more like home than a hospital room or corridor means a great deal to mothers, fathers and siblings who want to spend as much time as possible with a seriously ill child. Around the world, Ronald McDonald Houses offer a respite to families during the sad, as well as the joyous times, in a sick child’s life. “We see both sides of that spectrum,” Day said during a recent tour of the 65,000-square-foot Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. New to the job as its
On the Web ■ Ronald McDonald House: rmhcsd.org ■ Dream House Raffle: sdraffle.com president and CEO (he took the helm in December) Day said he wants to elevate the profile of the place he calls “the best kept secret in the community.” The facility, formerly located a few blocks from Rady Children’s Hospital, expanded less than two years ago to accommodate the growing needs of families who come from far reaches of the county and beyond to be by the bedside of their ill or injured children. The family-care center offers 47 rooms for overnight stays and is often at 95 to 98 percent capacity, Day said. A typical stay for any family is about 10 days. Families who can afford to are asked to pay $10 a day, but none are turned away because they cannot pay. While staying
Charles Day, ronald McDonald house Charities of San Diego president and Ceo COURTESY at Ronald McDonald House, families are close to the hospital and have access to laundry facilities, a dining area and kitchen with individual refrigerators, a play room, computer room, hair salon, a room for contemplation or prayer, and an outdoor
amphitheater for activities such as puppet shows and barbecues. “Giving a tour here is one of my favorite things to do,“ said Day, extolling the virtues of the facility and the hundreds of volunteers who keep it operating on a daily schedule.
Day, a resident of Bonita, said his biggest challenge is securing the future of the Ronald McDonald House. To meet that goal, he frequently attends and promotes fundraising events, large and small, including two recent gatherings — a Mardi Gras-themed cocktail party and cake-decorating extravaganza. One of his most pressing goals is to find endowments for the facility that can reduce the $15 million construction debt incurred to open the present location. He said he also looks forward to the day when he can plan for the next house in San Diego County. Speaking of fundraising, Day reached for a stack of brochures on a table in his office and touted the dream house raffle. Proceeds go to the facility and whoever gets the winning ticket gets to choose from the $1.8 million house featured on the brochure cover or $1.5 million in cash. The non-profit executive has a background in public
relations and fundraising. To take his new position at the Ronald McDonald House, Day left a post at Rady Children’s Hospital Foundation where he worked various positions since 1995 on fundraising campaigns, including the final four years as vice president and senior director of philanthropy. Early in his career, he worked for the Scottish Rite Clinic for Childhood Language Disorders training and supervised a full-time staff and 50 volunteers. What may surprise many is that the Ronald McDonald House is not funded by Rady or McDonald’s. Though it does get a small part of its budget from local franchise fundraising, the charity is mostly financed through donations.

Young chess player makes his move to capture Masters rank By Steven Mihailovich Varun Krishnan of La Jolla was awarded the title of Life Master by the U.S. Chess Federation in December, a rank reached by only one percent of all chess players over their lifetimes. Varun earned the title with a rating above 2,200 out of a maximum 3,000 after playing 300 games in more than 200 tournaments over a seven-year career in which the bulk of his tournament play has been with the San Diego Chess Club in Balboa Park. While such success is noteworthy when anyone achieves it, Varun is just 13-years-old and an eighthgrader at The Bishop’s School. “It’s not unheard of, but it is very rare,” said Chuck
Ensey, vice president and tournaments director of the San Diego Chess Club. “I’ve been playing chess for 20 years and I doubt if I’ll ever get there. It takes a lot of study. Very few ever get it.” Although Varun initially thought the game was “easy” when introduced to it, he said it proved to be much more complex as he was being matched against more talented players in tournament play. The crucial ingredient to Varun’s advancement was his study of classic games and past masters as well as analysis of his own games. Varun said he studies and plays chess about 24 hours in a week, on top of his other studies from school. “No matter how smart you are, even if you’re

talented, if you don’t study, you can’t improve,” he said. “At times, you can’t do any chess at all and sometimes you have a lot of time. I do homework between rounds if I need to. It’s hard to balance chess with other studies. But it’s not stressful yet.” Varun said he started playing in tournaments at the urging of his friends, adding that the entertainment aspect of the game was as critical to his achievement as his studies. “They key to playing chess is to have fun,” Varun said. “If you’re doing it just to win and make progress, you won’t learn anything and move forward.” Varun’s father, Vish Krishnan, is a professor of innovation technology at UCSD’s School of Management. He said chess was a common activity among families living in crowded cities back in his native India, where parks and playgrounds aren’t widespread.
Introduced to the game by his family, Vish said his son quickly outgrew his family’s skill level and began entering tournaments when he was six years old back in Austin. Moving to San Diego six years ago, Vish said the family supported Varun’s growing interest in chess. “It’s very gratifying that he found something deeply engrossing and yet very intellectually stimulating,” Vish said. “These days, it’s hard to get kids away from video games.” Yet with Varun’s early success, Vish worries that his son might become so immersed in chess that he neglects other, equally important, aspects of his development. “Taking it with a grain of salt is how I would describe it,” said Vish. “You don’t want to over expose him too early. There are other examples (of children who) think they’ve arrived and don’t have to develop anymore. It’s a fine balancing act. You don’t want them to get carried away. That’s the real challenge as parents.” Varun seems to understand that point. His other interests include tennis and advanced mathematics. In fact, Varun is currently analyzing data on organ transplants for a project at UCSD. Yet Varun still eyes the exalted title of Grand Master, two levels up from his current rank and only

achieved by a renowned few such as Bobby Fisher and Hikaru Nakamura.

The related exhibition, “Silent Witness: Recent Work by Ken Gonzales-Day,” features selections from two of his projects: “California Hang Trees” and “Erased Lynchings.” An opening reception is 5:308:30 p.m. Thursday, March 31; hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 1-3. UAG hours are typically 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday. In the “Erased Lynchings” series, Gonzales-Day uses enlargements of postcards and photographs created to commemorate and publicize lynchings. Such images became so pervasive that the U.S. Postal Service had to ban their circulation in 1908. Lynchings were often seen as festive occasions and a form of entertainment, especially in rural communities, so these images frequently included enthusiastic crowds of on-lookers. The re-presentation of this material raised a number of compelling questions for Gonzales-Day: How do you overcome historical amnesia surrounding America’s

Miss La Jolla aims next for Miss California Teen title By Blair Brice Student Intern Kristin Cleavinger may be a stranger to La Jolla, but she is no stranger to Donald Trump’s Miss California Teen pageant. While the newly crowned Miss La Jolla may reside in Scripps Ranch, Cleavinger considers herself to be greatly immersed in the 92037 community — she is a native La Jollan, is employed by the local Sprinkles Cupcake branch, and is an active member of the Student Board at La Jolla Playhouse. Locale aside, Cleavinger said she is thrilled to be representing “such a beautiful area of San Diego.” Hoping to clinch the title of Miss California Teen, the 17-year-old Scripps Ranch High School senior and daughter of Lhen and Jeff Cleavinger, has begun her race toward the big win at the statewide pageant set for Palm Springs in November. Winning this coveted title would grant exposure and opportunities including “appearances and work at charity events, scholarships, prize money, celebrity events, exposure among show business professionals, building self confidence, communication skills, and gifts from sponsors (of the organization/ pageant),” Cleavinger said. In the upcoming months,
Kristin cleavinger is Miss la Jolla.

Cleavinger will be busy networking with companies, organizations, stylists, photographers and artists to sharpen her Miss California Teen image. Cleavinger’s campaign and event information is fueled primarily through her Twitter and Facebook accounts, each relaying dates of fund-raisers, benefits and happenings, and extending promotional discount codes to followers for her sponsor’s clothing lines. Cleavinger’s fervor for stage appearances began in youth theater. Her first taste of pageantry came a few years ago after a meeting with an agent from Abrams Artists Agency
in Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, she was signed with LACasting.com, where she learned of the Miss California Teen program. “I submitted my profile for the role of a contestant pretty pessimistic about receiving a call or response,” she said. “A few days later I received a call from a recruiter for Miss California and Miss California Teen contestants. She conducted a phone interview and based off her impressions, she invited me and my mom to meet her at her Beverly Hills office.

All of my friends and family were so supportive, and because of them I am a current contestant.” Cleavinger’s outlet for community service comes from working with children. The organization closest to her heart is Isabella’s Giraffe Club, a non-profit that offers emotional and educational support to parents of stillbirths and SIDS. Founder Angela Amoroso and her husband Drew have donated countless hours to the cause since losing their daughter to SIDS. The Amorosos happen to own Scripps Performing Arts Academy where Cleavinger performed in musical theater as a child and currently volunteers as an instructor. Cleavinger has also recently worked as an event coordinator for the American Girl Fashion Show, and Art with HeArt. “I believe that part of my responsibility as a human being and a member of society is to help in any way I can to positively influence the younger generations and to be a good role model,” she said. If all goes well for Cleavinger at the November pageant, she will earn a seat in the nationally syndicated Miss Teen USA pageant held in the Bahamas.

Local author releases second fantasy novel for teens By Steven Mihailovich Avid fans of fantasy fiction featuring phantasmagorical creatures and demons vexing teen heroes will be thrilled with the March 29 release of “Fury of the Phoenix,” the latest book by San Diego author Cindy Pon. A sequel to Pon’s lauded first work, “Silver Phoenix: Beyond the Kingdom of Xia,” the story aims at young adult readers enthralled by the adventures of Ai Ling in an imaginative kingdom based on Chinese folklore. As she prepares for a small tour next month to promote her book, which includes a signing at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in Kearny Mesa at 2 p.m. on April 9, the author finds that her feelings haven’t abated the second time around. “I’m excited,” Pon said. “I’m always nervous. Writers are the most angst-y people ever.” The book stands apart from the copious titles in the fantasy genre because the protagonist is female, but more so for its Asian setting and culture. That richness, along with Pon’s writing style, appeals to a broader base, according Pon’s agent, Bill Contardi of Brandt and Hochman Literary Agents. “Cindy’s novels are young adult fantasy that easily crossover to an
‘Fury of the Phoenix’ by cindy Pon (left), UcSD graduate and resident of Utc, March 2011, harper collins, 323 pages, hardcover (about 79,000 words) COURTESY PHOTOS adult audience,” Contardi said. “(Her books) are sexy and thrilling and have an epic energy to them. Not to mention romantic with a highly empowered heroine.” Although the romantic scenes are sensual, the content is not gratuitous, Pon said. Since the 17-year-old female character is considered of marrying age in ancient Chinese society, her
sexuality gives the story plausibility. That is crucial when writing to a teenage audience plugged into a world of Internet, iphones and TV, the author explained. “One of the first things is never to write down to them,” Pon said. “You can’t be condescending and didactic. You don’t go into writing thinking that you’re going to teach
them a philosophy. If you write anything that seems fake, they can spot it a mile away.” With two young children of her own, Pon understands the concerns. However, Pon is always astonished that the violent scenes with various ogres never raise an eyebrow. “People always bring up the sexual element and not the violence,” Pon said. “It’s indicative of the society today. My writing is very personal. I don’t write for anyone but myself. When I’m done, I gauge whether I’m comfortable with what I’m putting out there.” A UCSD graduate, Pon entered the waters of fantasy writing because she was already immersed as a young reader. Restricted only by the imagination, the genre allows Pon to portray genuine issues and human feelings without becoming mired in realism, she said. “It’s hard to read about, say, bulimia or depression,” Pon said. “Real stuff is hard to digest. Fantasy cushions that. I grew up reading fantasy. I wanted to go somewhere else. It’s the books I read as a kid that I remember the most. I think that’s an age that’s very important.” “Fury of the Phoenix” took four months to write and another four months for three major revisions,
On the Web ■ cindypon.com Pon said. Although the second book firmly establishes her prominence in the fantasy realm, Pon is ending her series in the limitless genre before it limits her as a writer. “I don’t write seven books in a series,” Pon said. “I think a story has an end. I want to end on a high note. I don’t want to be the writer that dragged it out, so people say she should have ended two books ago.” Pon said her next work will be a children’s picture book illustrated with her own Chinese brush painting, an “art therapy” she’s been pursuing for the past 10 years. The shift follows Pon’s own advice to young writers starting out. “Always challenge yourself with each project,” she said. “Be courageous. It’s more important for the young writer to know and acknowledge that they’re special. At that age, it’s so hard to believe in yourself and what you can do. Give yourself permission to write poorly. No one is perfect the first time.”

Three fine actors face a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Groundswellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at The Old Globe If you go
Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Review
By diana Saenger
Patrons taking their seats in The Old Globeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Groundswellâ&#x20AC;? see a seaside lodge in South Africa on the stage before them. The sounds of continuous crashing waves and an occasional sea-bell clang set the mood for the nautical tale. The boding scene soon becomes the backdrop for a psychological thriller that builds to a powerful conclusion that will change the lives of three men. Owiso Odera portrays Thami, a South African still reeling from the Apartheid aftermath. As he pens a letter to his wife (back in the city and caring for the cou-

(as Johan) plays the perfect villain, eliciting sympathy for his plight before revealing his true self. Thami, a good and moral man, attempts to rein in Johanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s threats, but is drawn in by Johanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hypnotic tirades of â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is for usâ&#x20AC;? and insinuations that he is not measuring up to being a man. Odera (who plays Thami superbly) is a UCSD grad. We feel his agony over missing his family, we flinch when he does after an inappropriate action by Johan, and just maybe we understand how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easily swayed to the dark side. Schmidtke steers Mr. Smith along a gentle slope of revelation. At first heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patient as he listens to the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business deal, but then he tells them it is probably a scam and negotiations get ugly when Johan pulls out a long knife. As bells from the buoys in the foggy sea ring out warnings to approaching boats, the situation inside the lodge becomes far more threatening.

If you are selling a home or estate in La Jolla, read this...
How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase La Jolla real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www. lajollalight.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 115 countries and over a 30-day period in March, the site generated 32,826 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily foreign visitors come from Canada, the
United Kingdom, France, Germany and India. Yes, the countries with the largest numbers of foreign investors, looking for La Jolla real estate. And those investors also work with local agents intimately familiar with the La Jolla market. And those agents are not only looking online, they’re reading the La Jolla Light newspaper because it has far more local La Jolla listings than any other paper in town. So to maximize your home or estate’s exposure, it’s important your agent is using a dual track: 1) showcasing your home or estate with ads on www.lajollalight.com and, 2) running ads and listings in the La Jolla Light.
To reach foreign investors, be sure your agent has a well-developed marketing plan To sell your home or estate quickly and for the most money possible, a thorough marketing plan is a must. So make sure your agent’s plan includes: n Proper “staging” of your home and property. n Showcasing your home or listing in the local paper—like The Light. n Holding open houses, including “broker previews”. n Adding your home to the local multiple listing service so buyers and agents will see it. n Preparing and sending brochures or well designed flyers to potential buyers. n Using Internet advertising such as www. lajollalight.com, which attracts tens of thousands of readers monthly from 115 countries worldwide. With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is prepared to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.
LA JOLLA LIGHT.COM FAST FACTS:
1. The site daily attracts its most unique foreign visitors from: • United Kingdom • Canada • Australia • India • Germany • France • Mexico 2. The site in March, 2011 attracted 32,826 visitors from 115 countries. LA JOLLA LIGHT FAST FACTS:
t
What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, Japanese or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in La Jolla can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. La Jolla real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, La Jolla real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.
t
Prime Real Estate in La Jolla is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?
1. The paper is hand delivered by the US Post Office to 19,290 La Jolla homes each week. 2. The paper has more local real estate listings than all other papers delivered to La Jolla combined.

The fastest way to sell your home is the local newspaper... NOT the Internet, Facts and research says Home-Selling the La Jolla Light: 78% of the “home buyer pool” is local and successful agents use papers to attract the best leads— while the Internet is best used in a “support” role The biggest problem with listing your home on the internet is this...the internet is huge! It would take hours to find all the available listings of homes for sale in this town—if you could even find them all...which you can’t. This is no doubt why Borrell Associates, the nationally known research firm reports that 66% of Americans rely on their local newspaper to buy and sell their homes, compared with only 20% using the internet. The biggest reason that a paper like the La Jolla Light is such a powerful lead generating tool for agents, is the paper’s long-term credibility with readers. When your home is listed or shown in this paper, it benefits from the paper’s thorough reporting and “believability”.
✔ 70% - 80% of home-buyers, buy locally. ✔ The La Jolla Light is delivered by the Postal Service ... to each resident’s home. ✔ Those most likely to purchase your home read The Light. ✔ Each week The Light features HOMES SOLD in 92037 and their actual price. ✔ The Light and it’s sister publications, reaches 9 of the 10 wealthiest zip codes in San Diego. ✔ These publications reach 200,000 “qualified” home buyers—every week. ✔ Serious home buyers are reading these publications to find “prestigious” homes & estates, like yours. ✔ The top agents in La Jolla advertise in The Light, because it sells homes. 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.
