Fireworks funding starts as ruling nears

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com The show can — and likely will — go on again this year for the annual Independence Day Fireworks display at La Jolla Cove.

One major impediment

imperiling the show, put on for the past two years by the nonprofit La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, may have been cleared by a recent revision of a tentative order from the San Diego Water Quality Control Board.

Even as they await the final decision, the foundation on Friday began tackling another obstacle — raising the funds to put the show on.

Volunteers key to LJ Half Marathon’s success

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com The annual 13.1-mile La Jolla Half Marathon from Del Mar Racetrack to La Jolla Cove is more than a race: It’s an experience.

And what goes into creating that experience year in and year out is a never-ending process.

“We have north of 500 volunteers and it’s pretty much year-round,” noted Doug Bradley, who, along with Robin Cahill, Bill Uncapher and Barbara Baisch, spearheads organizing and coordinating the home-grown event, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary this

Starting out as a weekend fundraiser sponsored by La Jolla Town Council, the event has grown over the years in size and magnitude.

Federal prosecutors in San Diego said the organizers conspired to bribe players to alter the outcome of games so the defendants could profit by betting on games in Las Vegas. The indictment accuses the group, but not Brown or the USD players, of running an illegal sports bookmaking operation and distributing marijuana.

Former University of San Diego players Brandon Johnson and Brandon Dowdy were also named in the indictment.

Sentencing in Bird Rock crash brings relief to some

Kudos to Debbie Newell and the staff at Adelaide’s for making the palms on Girard near their store as vibrant as the renowned flower shop. They have planted the elegant Tecoma capensis — cape honeysuckle — to embrace the towering palm as well as planting the colorful flowerbeds at the base of the trees.

StAff AND WiRe RepoRtS While the teens injured when Ronald Troyer ran his car onto a Bird Rock sidewalk in August 2010 are still coming back from their physical injuries, those close to them say there is some relief in knowing the 66-year-old has been been convicted in the case.

La Jolla Merchants group gains city’s recognition

By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com On Tuesday, the fledgling La Jolla Village Merchants Association expected to be approved by the City Council as the official advisory board for the La Jolla Business Improvement District.

The vote, after press time, came on the heels of word received last week that the organization has been granted 501(c)(6) tax-exempt status from the IRS. LJVMA President Phil Coller said Monday it was “great we got the 501(c)(6) on the scheduled day,” which he attributed to attorney Steve Haskins who submitted the application Phil for them.

Coller He said as the group has taken shape he’s heard from business people interested in becoming involved, adding that he’s hopeful many would show up for the next meeting at 8:30 a.m.

Wednesday at the La Jolla Women’s Club.

With Tuesday’s City Council vote, the group will have limited access to funds from the city to move forward with some of its plans. Full access is not far behind.

Also on Tuesday, the council was to approve the proposed LJVMA budget — as

well as those of 16 other business improvement districts in the city — and declare the city’s intent to continue to levy assessments in those districts. Then, on May 10, the council will hold a public hearing on the matter, vote to confirm the BID budgets and authorize the mayor to sign the contracts, according to Beth Murray of the city’s Office of Small Business.

La Jolla’s merchants association represents more than 1,200 businesses in the Village area who pay a fee with their business tax. Since last year, those funds have been managed by the city and a fourmember advisory board from Promote La Jolla, which formerly had the contract to manage the district.

Among the items the new LJVMA board was set to consider on Wednesday were: • Appointing 11 people — who do not have to be board members — to various La Jolla boards and advisory groups; • Reports on committee structure; • An initial schedule of events the group wants to organize over the coming 18 months; • Branding, its website and social networking plans ; • Discuss the process for selecting an executive director; • Consider options for office space, and • Discuss establishing an associate member category.

Antimicrobial resistance:

No action today, no cure tomorrow

Research Report

By Lynn FrieDmann

The use of antimicrobial drugs to treat infection and disease has, over the past 70 years, changed the course of medical and human history.

Now, those discoveries and the generations of drugs that followed them are at risk, as high levels of drug resistance threaten their effectiveness, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) which calls upon governments, health professionals, industry and civil society, and patients worldwide to slow down and restrict the unnecessary use of antibiotics in order to tackle microbial resistance.

“The world is on the brink of losing these miracle

cures,” WHO Director-General Margaret Chan, M.D., said in a news release issued on World Health Day (April 7). “In the absence of urgent corrective and protective actions, the world is heading towards a post-antibiotic era, in which many common infections will no longer have a cure and, once again, kill unabated.”

The warning is more sobering with the knowledge that less than 5 percent of products currently in the research and development pipeline are antibiotic drugs.

“Antibacterial drug discovery is the most difficulty area of discovery,” Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., president and CEO of the biotech company Trius Therapeutics, said during a recent press conference.“You don’t see a lot of large pharmaceutical companies taking these risks.”

Daniel Burgess, president and CEO of Mpex Pharmaceuticals, who was also on hand, said, “We don’t have hundreds of thousands of people dying of infection to-

day, said “The concern is the panic is going to be there in five to seven years … and, are we going to have effective treatments.”

In general, there are three ways to convey antimicrobial resistance (AMR): ■ Develop a new class of drug that disease agents have never encountered (great in theory but in reality hard to accomplish); ■ Overwhelm bacteria with high levels of antibiotics at the site of infection and ■ Make existing therapies potent again (a cocktail approach that combines two or more drugs) Mpex is in the final stage of clinical testing of a proprietary inhalable formulation of levofloxacin (a therapy currently taken orally) for the treatment of microbial infections in patients with cystic fibrosis who are prone to chronic respiratory infections.

Café owner calls for fine-tuning of car show

By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com A La Jolla businesswoman is calling on organizers of the La Jolla Motor Car Classic event at the Cove held April 3 this year to consider scheduling it some time other than spring break.

Deborah Marengo, owner of Goldfish Point Café and former head of Promote La Jolla which previously hosted the event, said the promoters and La Jolla Historical Society, which is now hosting the exhibition, are getting away from the intent of the event previously held in January.

“I was a part of the formation of the Motor Car Classic and the purpose was to generate traffic flow for the merchants in the Village during slow times very low in tourism and traffic,” said Marengo. “Now they have food vendors from outside the business district selling food and they’ve moved it to a date right in the middle of spring break with street closures that take away parking.”

La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (T&T) Board voted 5-1 at the March 31 meeting to close portions of Prospect Street and Coast Boulevard to accommodate the April 3 La Jolla Motor Car Classic.

Some of the cars in the La Jolla Motor car classic sit on coast Boulevard, which was closed to traffic on april 3.

Dan Dreifuss

At that meeting Marengo said the Classic should be returned to January or some other time when it does not conflict with the summer tourist season or other seasonal special events which merchants depend on to offset slow off-season business.

Tom Costello, representing newly forming La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc., which is splitting off from the La Jolla Town Council, asked event promoters March 31 whether the event fencing would be setback from sidewalks, which organizers had agreed to keep open for public use.

Tripp Bennett from the historical society assured him both conditions would be met.

T&T chair Todd Lesser cautioned the organizers that in the future they need to address merchants’ concerns in a more com-

plete and timely manner.

“We want any event to be successful, but we also don’t want it to affect business,” he said.

On Monday, April 4 — the day after the classic car meet — Marengo said her business was down 49 percent from the same Sunday the previous year.

“I know that business at the Cave Store, another main attraction, was also down,” she said, noting she hadn’t had time to query other businesses impacted by street closures caused by the car classic.

Not all businesses near the car show however were adversely impacted. David Hein, who along with wife Meghan owns Brockton Villa restaurant above the Cove, said his business was positively affected by the Motor Car Classic. “We had a really good day,” he said.

On April 7, John Bolthouse, executive director of the La Jolla Historical Society, said his group had not yet had a chance to review the event, but would do so soon.

“The impact on the community and local business, both positive and negative, is very important to us,” Bolthouse said. “We want to be good neighbors.”

Regarding changing the future date of the event, Bolthouse said, “What we don’t want to do is have it all over the calendar from year to year.”

Noting event attendance was down a bit this year, Bolthouse said when the historical society committee meets in the next couple of weeks to examine the event and its effectiveness, one of the things members will look at is other events happening elsewhere in town that same day which could be competing.

“There will be quite a bit of introspection and evaluation of the event and how it is organized,” Bolthouse said.

On the April 2-3 weekend, there was another car event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the GoodGuys Rod & Custom Association’s Meguiar’s Del Mar Nationals, which some said might have affected the La Jolla event.

Transportation board nixes adding valet spots

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com How much valet parking is enough? In the Village of La Jolla, that question always invites debate.

And it did again April 7 as La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) said enough is enough in nixing, by an 8-7 vote, a proposal to add four more valet spaces at 1298 Prospect St. The proposal to add four more spots to 12 already ex-

isting in front of George’s At The Cove was meant to accommodate the new Eddie V’s (formerly The Chart House) restaurant scheduled to be open by July.

Immediate past LJCPA president Joe LaCava said the group’s narrow recommendation not to add four new Prospect valet spaces will now be forwarded to senior traffic engineer Gary Pence for his consideration.

“It’s an administrative ac-

tion,” LaCava said. “The city has final authority whether to grant what the applicant is asking for, which is four new passenger loading zones with the classic white curb paint.”

The hour-long valet parking discussion and vote at the April 7 LJCPA meeting had residents, restaurateurs, community planners and local landlords all choosing sides.

At issue was whether valet is self-serving or communityserving, and what the opti-

mal number of valet spots on Prospect Street actually is.

Conceding valet is here to stay, longtime landlord Lincoln Foster nonetheless argued against adding any new spaces.

“The 12 there now are not being utilized efficiently,” he said. “These parking spaces are parking storage stalls.

Putting 16 valet parking spaces on this street that was never designed for it creates an additional backlog of traffic onto Torrey Pines Road that is a compromise to this community.”

Restaurateur George Hauer disagreed. “Valet parking doesn’t cause the lines going out Prospect Street and down Torrey Pines,” he said. “It’s the demand to come to La Jolla and its restaurant district.”

Hauer said his 170-seat restaurant alone with its 180 employees served 275,000 meals last year. He added the new Eddie V’s, adding nearly 300 more seats, will place an

increasing demand on valet parking, which he described as a “parking extender.”

Hauer pointed out, since the community can’t build a parking garage, there is no alternative place for people to park.

“If you don’t have valet to extend parking, what you end up with is people who have no place to go circling around and finally saying, ‘I’m getting out of here, there is no place to park,’ ” said Hauer.

LJCPA member Orrin Gabsch said he felt a decision on adding valet spots is premature. “We should be studying it further, whether to split the spaces, try to make sure that valet is operated efficiently,” he said.

Colleague Dan Courtney noted valet proponents have been subtly altering their expansion proposal over time.

“This started as a battle between Ace and Sunset shifting four spots, and now

they want four more spots so there will be no more battles between the two,” he said. “This is a form of paid parking. We should wait until we get a business association up and running to see what merchants really want before we add four additional valet spots.”

In other action: n Architect Tony Crisafi was elected new LJCPA president replacing Joe LaCava. n Lifeguard Sgt. John Sandmeyer and other city officials gave an organized presentation on disaster preparedness/emergency evacuation plans to tsunamis, hurricanes and floods in the La Jolla area.

Sandmeyer said studies have shown La Jolla Shores is the area most likely to be inundated in a catastrophic event. He said evacuation signs pointing to high ground in the event of a tsunami have been installed in high-risk areas of La Jolla.

La Jolla Woman’s Club hires new manager Sharlene Thompson has been named manager of the La Jolla Woman’s Club, which recently has seen changes in its management and board of directors.

Pat McGill, the club’s house director who tends to the building and grounds, said the club is awaiting the installation of Jane Graham as president in May. Lois Clifton, a longtime club member, is

the interim president.

Thompson, who most recently served as director of special events and outside sales for the San Diego Natural History Museum, will be responsible for managing and operating the facility at 715 Silverdo St. as well as booking events and functions at the club and representing the club in the community.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 14, 2011 - Page a7

FROM CRASH, A1 convictions for driving on a suspended license, will be sentenced May 4.

Reacting to the decision, Pepper Prietto, a Bird Rock teacher and spokeswoman for Bird Rock Against Drunk Drivers, said she felt relieved.

“It was such a horrible thing to have happen, but everyone including the driver (Troyer) are so lucky that no one got killed,” she said.

“We can be thankful for that. He’s lucky he didn’t kill anybody and have to live with that.”

Prietto noted she’s pleased to hear the injured teens are all recovering from their injuries, adding the community “is still strong and not going to tolerate drunken driving.”

Myles Polger, 15 — one of three teens run over by Troyer before his car smashed into the cafe — said he hopes the defendant gets what he deserves at the time of sentencing.

“It was very tough to see

Troyer ... for all the tough times he brought on me and my family,’’ the boy told reporters outside the courtroom.

The teen, who suffered serious arm and leg injuries in the accident, said he was beginning physical therapy and hopes to be active again soon.

Following the verdict Myles’ father, Lorne, said he was pleased that “justice was served,” and that he hopes that Troyer “won’t be able to inflict harm on anybody else.”

“It’s a chapter we can close and move on from it,” he said.

Alani Aguerre, the most severely injured of the three teens, had numerous surgeries to repair several broken bones in her pelvis and left arm and was in the intensive care unit for weeks.

Reacting to the verdict, Alani’s father, Santiago, said, “It’s a big victory for the system, for (prosecuting attorney) David (Uyar) and for our family. Uyar and his team did an incredible job

researching every single detail of this case. The American system of justice is on the top of the world.”

Aguerre thanked everyone associated with the case, including witnesses who voluntarily stepped forward.

Referring to Troyer, Aguerre said, “I hope when his sentencing comes up that they put him away for the safety of our community and our children.”

The light was unable to reach the family of Ian Brininstool.

The incident Troyer was involved in last Aug. 15

happened about 6:30 p.m. when his car veered onto the sidewalk, struck the three teens, then crashed into the Cass Street Café & Bakery.

Deputy District Attorney Uyar said in his closing argument in the trial that Troyer had smoked marijuana at some point before his car plowed into the teenagers and bakery.

Uyar said Troyer tried to shift the blame away from himself after the crash, saying things like, “Oh this is bad,” Someone stole my car,’’ “I wasn’t driving’’ and

“I must have blacked out,” along with blaming the crash on mechanical failure.

The prosecutor said Troyer’s blood was drawn three hours after the crash, and marijuana was found in his system.

Witnesses at the crash scene thought Troyer was under the influence of something, Uyar said. The notion that the marijuana detected in Troyer’s system had been there for a week was “rubbish,’’ the prosecutor said.

“He smoked recently,” Uyar told the jury.

Defense attorney David Thompson told the jury that

there was reasonable doubt that Troyer was under the influence of marijuana or any other substance at the time of the crash and suggested he suffered a seizure.

Thompson said Troyer was driving normally beforehand, then “all of a sudden, something happened.’’

“That could have been the seizure right there,’’ the defense attorney said. “Something happened in his body and it wasn’t the pot. Seizures don’t give notice.’’

FROM MARATHON, A1 noting organization is critical, with guidelines developed from experience used to let volunteers know “what they should be doing and how they should be doing it.”

The secret to training and improving, said Bradley, is to take down everything.

“We get a lot of feedback in writing and e-mails,” he said.

“Everyone gets heard and it gets acknowledged, reviewed and prioritized.”

Bradley credits participation as another key to success.

“We’re like a group of ants: We really can accomplish a huge task with everyone just doing their part,” he said.

What it is about the La Jolla Half Marathon that entices people to volunteer their services and keeps them coming back despite the demands on their time and energy, is something that can be pinpointed.

Bradley says it’s “giving back.”

“None of us would have the lives we have — quality of life, health, infrastructure — if it weren’t for society,” he said. “We all really benefit from the fact that we come together. Maybe it’s just a law of the universe … when you do give back something, you just feel really good. Everyone seems to know it’s a race for charity. Everyone feels good about that.”

Though the Half Marathon is over by noon on race day, its benefits persist, not only with the crowd it brings into the community on race day itself, but also in the incalculable goodwill the event engenders amongst everyone participating.

Said Bradley: “Runners, volunteers and spectators, that’s 10,000 people, and a ton of commerce that comes into town. It’s a great way to celebrate La Jolla and the people around it.”

Volunteers are now being sought to participate in the La Jolla Kiwanis Half Marathon. Those interested should call Anita Hansen at (858) 518-6556.

Road closures

for the La Jolla Half Marathon Sunday morning, April 17 ■ Southbound lanes of North Torrey Pines Road will be closed from Carmel Valley Road to La Jolla Shores from 8 a.m. to approximately 9:30 a.m.

■ Other streets will stay closed later because they are toward the end of the event, which is expected to wrap up by 11:30 a.m.

■ Both sides of the smaller streets are used by runners, except along Torrey Pines Road and Prospect Street going towards the Cove.

■ Access to La Jolla Shores will not be restricted.

www.lajollalight.com FROM FIREWORKS, A1 raise and this year I’m setting a June 1 deadline,” Marengo said. “If we don’t have all the money secured by that point, I will most likely be canceling the show.”

On Friday, she e-mailed past supporters asking them to participate again. In an interview, she said she was hopeful those who say they will contribute will follow through with donations, which some did not do last year.

The 2010 Fourth of July event, the community’s 26th, was nearly stopped in its tracks when a lawsuit was filed over the permitting requirements.

Originally, the water quality board had proposed increasing permitting requirements and monitoring costs for coastal fireworks displays, in apparent response to the lawsuit. But the board’s revision now calls for exempting small displays, like La Jolla’s, from tighter regulation. It will be considered again on May 11. The board meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the regional office at 9174 Sky Park Court in Kearny Mesa.

“The original version of the tentative order would have required that any group doing fireworks be required to do monitoring of both water and sediment,” wrote Clif Williams, land use analyst for the law firm

of Latham & Watkins, which has been representing the fireworks foundation.

In an e-mail to the Light, he also stated: “This would have made the show cost prohibitive, because the monitoring would have cost upwards of $50,000 while the show costs less than $30,000 to put on.”

Williams said the revised and final tentative order will only apply to the monitoring requirements to shows that shoot fireworks with a net explosives weight of more than 1,000 pounds.

“We estimate that the La Jolla show is a little less than 400 pounds,” Williams said, adding the revised permit will affect big shows like SeaWorld and the Big Bay Show, which were already

required to do it.

Attorney Marco Gonzalez of the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation (CERF), an environmental group dedicated to protecting coastal natural resources, has been lobbying for stricter regulation of fireworks over water. He argues caution should be exercised given that not enough is known or understood about the impact of fireworks on the environment.

Gonzalez filed the 2010 lawsuit against the city of San Diego and the La Jolla fireworks foundation, insisting they failed to comply with CEQA and other environmental laws in conducting fireworks shows over water. Last June, just days before July 4th, a San Diego judge rejected CERF’s request to halt the event.

Regarding the recent revision of water quality control board’s rules, Gonzalez emailed, “I have nothing to say about the current draft of the Regional Board’s fireworks permit. I’ll be more than happy to discuss it when we’re closer to the hearing date. There’s nothing newsworthy about it at this point.”

To contribute to the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation fund go to www.lajollafireworks.org.

UCSD, Cal Western pause talks on law school With the state budget crisis in their faces, the leaders of UCSD and California Western School of Law have agreed to take a break in discussions to create a UCSD School of Law. In a press release issued Wednesday, UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox thanked those on the committee who have been exploring the potential relationship. “Their time and valuable work over these past 15 months helped us see the tremendous benefits of this idea for both institutions and our region,” she said.

“California Western’s strengths made the concept of an affiliation appealing, but the state’s changing fiscal picture makes this opportunity

difficult to pursue at this time.”

Kenneth L. Greenman, who chairs the California Western Board of Trustees, added, “These discussions identified new possibilities for interdisciplinary work which meet the needs of our region’s innovation economy and contribute to economic growth and competitiveness. Given the enormous benefits of this combination, we look forward to a time when formal talks can resume.”

The schools plan to continue current collaborations, including dual and joint degree programs, speaker series and the Community Law Project, the release said.

FROM BASKETBALL, A1

TJ Brown is seen at a La Jolla Hoopers practice at the high school earlier this year. PHil DAilEy

Brown previously was an assistant coach at the university and has coached at the La Jolla High School junior varsity basketball team for the past three years. In an e-mail, Principal Dana Shelburne said Monday afternoon that Brown “will be placed on administrative leave while the investigation runs its course.�

Brown has been the director of the La Jolla Hoopers, a local youth basketball organization, four four years.

The teams won four division championships this past winter.

Brown played college basketball at Texas A&M but an injury derailed his Division I career. He opted to transfer to Emporia State University to continue

playing basketball. He graduated with a degree in business administration in 2002.

He started his coaching career at USD as a volunteer before being promoted to head team manager. He then was promoted to a fulltime assistant. When former USD head coach Brad Holland was fired at the end of the 2007 season, Brown was not retained.

According to the indictment, Johnson — while he was the starting point guard for USD — took a bribe to influence the result of a game in February 2010. U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy would not be specific on which game was involved.

The indictment also alleges that Johnson, after

leaving from USD in January 2011 -â&#x20AC;&#x201D; solicited an individual to affect the outcome of USD basketball games.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Keith Slotter said the investigation, dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Operation Hookshot,â&#x20AC;? began more than a year ago and started out as a drug probe.

Slotter said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many basketball games were affected by the illegal bookmaking activity.

Authorities said USD is cooperating in the investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not an indictment on an outstanding academic institution,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Slotter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not an indictment against USD.â&#x20AC;?

Of the 10 defendants named in the indictment, eight, including Johnson, have been arrested, Duffy said.

She alleged that the three lead defendants in the case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; San Diego residents Steve Warda Goria, Paul Joseph Thweni and Richard Garmo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; orchestrated multiple schemes, including the sports bribery scheme involving Johnson, Brown and former USD player Brandon Dowdy, who played for the school during the 2006-2007 season and later for UC Riverside.

Brown coached at USD the same year Dowdy played there. The indictment alleges that in February 2011, Brown and Dowdy solicited an individual to affect the outcome of a college basketball game at UCR. Johnson, 24, was arrested Saturday in Texas and was expected to be arraigned today.

Eight others were expected to make their first appearance in San Diego federal court on Tuesday, Duffy said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City News Service contributed to this report.

Damaged trees line the street near the church.

DAVE SCHWAB

Vandals damage palm trees at St. James church

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com It appears that a vandal has taken his passion out on the palm trees next to St. James by the Sea in La Jolla.

Several trees lining the sidewalk in front of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift shop at 743 Prospect St. appear sickly, with their fronds yellowing, and the church has filed a police report on the situation.

Parishioners raised the money to plant the trees about 20 years ago, according to Blayney Colmore, the former rector. He shared a message in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent newsletter from Rev. Randal Gardner who reported, â&#x20AC;&#x153;After several months of working to improve the health of the palm trees that surround the St. James campus, we have come to the conclusion that their poor health is very likely the result of poisoning. An arborist who is an expert in palm trees confirms that conclusion.â&#x20AC;?

The rector was out of town and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reached for additional details, but his message to parishioners states there has been a pattern of â&#x20AC;&#x153;malicious intentâ&#x20AC;? the past two years with those palms, claiming theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been â&#x20AC;&#x153;saltedâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;copper spikes have been nailed into their trunks.â&#x20AC;?

The latest apparent â&#x20AC;&#x153;attackâ&#x20AC;? on the trees, according to Gardner, appears to involve an herbicide used to affect them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our arborist believes that there is really nothing to be done to save the trees,â&#x20AC;? Gardner concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have begun to make plans to work with the city to have them removed.â&#x20AC;?

He also noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;For whatever kind of hardness of heart that moved someone to do this, we pray not to be afflicted with hardness of heart ourselves.â&#x20AC;?

Church officials noted that the harm done to the trees on the grounds of the Episcopal church does not seem to include the king palms or the dragon tree that are part of the front lawn and patio of the grounds of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buildings.

Bully beware: A serious issue takes center stage

Education Matters

By MARSHA SUTTON

In an attempt to bring more focus on the chronic problem of bullying in schools, local California Assembly member Ben Hueso introduced a resolution declaring March to be School Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. The resolution, which was heard in Sacramento March 25, passed.

A related bill sponsored by Hueso, AB 630, would establish programs to train teachers and educators to spot bullying and provide techniques for prevention and intervention.

According to the resolution, bullying in California causes 160,000 students to miss school every day due to “fear of attack or intimidation by their peers.” It states

that “both bullies and their victims are more likely to drop out of school and engage in unlawful activity.”

School violence and suicides have also, famously, been connected to bullying.

Growing awareness of the seriousness of the problem extends across the country, even to the highest office.

On March 10, President Barack Obama convened a gathering of about 150 educators, researchers, staff, parents, and bully victims to shine a light on bullying and its consequences.

“With big ears and the name that I have, I wasn’t immune,” Obama was quoted as saying.

The purpose of the conference was to encourage schools and communities to cooperate in efforts to control bullying and take actions to stop it. Obama said it’s not a rite of passage, “part of growing up” or a harmless example of the “kids will be kids” adage.

Nor does it “build character,” as some people say.

According to an Associated Press story, White House

officials estimate that onethird of America’s children, or about 13 million kids, have been bullied, leading to increasing drop-out rates, discipline problems in school, drug and alcohol abuse, depression, self-destructive tendencies, violence and even death. n Changing concerns Cyber-bullying, in particular, has increased at alarming rates and has fueled worries about the changing dimensions of bullying and its potential for far-reaching detrimental effects that go well beyond playground torment.

Obama tied bullying to the over-arching concern of America’s academic preparedness for college, the workplace and international competitiveness.

Kids can’t learn if they don’t feel safe at school.

A new Web site was unveiled at the conference, www.stopbullying.gov, managed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, in partnership with the departments of Education and Justice. The extensive site offers tips, guidance and help

for teachers, parents and kids.

The San Diego Unified School District has made available on its website a lengthy 15-page Education Week section called “Spotlight on Bullying.” In addition, Education Week on-line offers numerous articles on bullying at the various grades, different types of bullying, prevention techniques, and other informative reports. n Dangerous old stereotypes Bullying is defined by California’s Crime and Violence Prevention Center as words or actions that are “habitual harassing, intimidating, tormenting, browbeating, humiliating, terrorizing, oppressing and/or threatening.”

Bullying, the center says, “has no social, financial or cultural boundaries,” and children often become bullies by watching adult behavior.

An article in Education Week’s Feb. 23, 2011, issue reports on a study showing that bullies aren’t always the social outcasts people often think they are. After four years of surveying over 3,700

La Jolla Light’s First

CAUGHT ON CAMERA Community Contest

my favorite

middle and high school students, University of California Davis assistant sociology professor Robert Faris found that “students in the middle of the social hierarchies at their schools, rather than the most popular or the most socially outcast, are more likely to be bullies.”

Faris said in the report, “These kids view aggression as one tactic for gaining or maintaining their social status.” Other ways to climb the social ladder, he said, include being pretty, funny, athletic, rich and even just being nice.

Physical aggression is easy to spot, Faris said in the report, but more troubling, more common, and harder to detect is a more subtle form of aggression that includes manipulation, verbal remarks, gossip and social exclusion. It’s the need to gain power and status by putting others down, said one educator in the report.

Faris concludes by noting that “old stereotypes of school bullies are dangerous in the modern world.”

Another Education Week report on the subject re-

vealed that adolescent girls are more likely than boys to have experienced cyber-bullying, 25.1 percent compared to 16.6 percent. Girls also reported cyber-bullying others more than boys, 21.3 percent to 17.5 percent.

The types of cyber-bullying were found to differ by gender: “Girls are more likely to spread rumors, while boys are more likely to post hurtful pictures or videos.”

The 2010 report used data from a random sampling of 10- to 18-year-old students from one large school district in the south and was presented by the Cyberbullying Research Center [www.cyberbullying.us], which offers resources. Other websites with information on cyber-bullying include: the Center for Safe and Responsible Internet Use [www.cyberbully. org], Stop Cyberbullying [www.stopcyberbullying.org], and Wired Safety [www.wired safety.org].

FROM POTHOLES, A1 group of people to go around and identify where the potholes are and let the city know about it,” Wildman added. Reports of pothole problems have included one driver, Zeke Woolley, who reported to the Light he has sustained damage to his car and tires not once, but twice, from the same large hole on Torrey Pines Road near Ivanhoe. That followed an earlier incident, he said.

When he hit the Torrey Pines spot, which he said is about 1- to 2-feet in diameter and about 6 inches deep, Woolley wrote to Lightner’s office on March 29 about the flat tire and asked how to file a claim. He was referred to the Risk Management office.

Two weeks later, his wife hit the same pothole destroying the just-replaced tire as well as damaging the wheel and requiring a wheel alignment. So far, Woolley says, his total damage is more than $1,900 — and the pothole still isn’t fixed.

That’s the kind of situation Wildman hopes the Town Council can help rectify by organizing a committee.

He said he called the city a

He said he called the city a while back about a major pothole that erupted after the city completed work on Girard Avenue.

The pothole was near US Bank, and Wildman said, “Nobody did anything about it. We may need to start talking about self-help.”

On Tuesday morning, he said he had sent an e-mail to Town Council Trustee Egon Kafka asking him to chair the committee as well as to observe the Scripps Ranch “Road Relief Rally” being organized by Councilman Carl DeMaio.

Community foundation to seek mayor’s OK for future public art

By DAvE SCHwAB daves@lajollalight.com Former City Councilman Scott Peters, a La Jolla Community Foundation board member speaking on efforts to bring public art to the community, on Monday promised to seek the mayor’s approval on future projects and to make sure the art is maintained.

Peters’ offer gained the endorsement of the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Committee on a 5-0-1 vote on April 11. Orrin Gabsch, who is a community foundation donor, abstained.

The PDO committee oversees design standards such as colors, building materials and signage and makes recommendations to the La Jolla Community Planning Association, the official advisory group to the city. Members had previously raised concerns that some might question subjective public art and that such art could potentially violate the community’s PDO standards.

The community foundation has funded two colorful murals so far — on the back of the building at 7724 Girard Ave. and the side of the one at 7596 Eads Ave., and artists have been selected for two more sites, according to a letter Peters signed spelling out the Foundation’s proposal.

Noting all Foundation public art is privately funded, the letter said the art program will fund artwork at eight to 10 sites dependent on donations.

“The artwork is on orphaned blank walls and is designed to beautify La Jolla for La Jollans everywhere,” said Peters, adding it is intended to be temporary and periodically “rotated out.”

At a prior meeting, the committee had determined that

Foundation’s initial public art program — a series of murals on buildings throughout the community — did not constitute “signage,” as the artwork is not commercial or meant for advertising.

“If public art is not commercial and not a sign, why should it come before us?” asked member Michael Dershowitz.

Noting public art “will not be on the front of buildings,” committee chair Ione Steigler answered that some aspects of public art, such as site placement and “bright and garish colors,” falls within the committee’s purview.

Committee member David Little suggested future Foundation public art projects ought to be brought before the PDO committee as well for review, but there was no official action on his request.

Committee member Jim Fitzgerald characterized Foundation public art as a “controlled experiment.”

Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center opening delayed UCSD Health System officials are still working on some final details before the $228 million Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, a spokeswoman said Monday. It had originally been set to see its first patients on April 3.

But in an e-mail on Monday, Jacqueline Carr said they hope the center will be “eligible for final inspection in May.” She said the opening was delayed to “update a water system and for improvement within our emergency department.”

The university is working with the California Department of Public Health “to address and resolve all needs,” Carr added.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Heart care gets personal In today’s confusing and oftentimes frustrating healthcare environment, patients are looking for more options available to them when it comes to their heart health. One such physician delivering exactly what people are clamorRobert ing for is Orr Dr. Robert Orr. Orr is one of the first physicians in the country to begin offering private, individualized care for patients with heart disease or a family history of heart disease with focus on prevention.

“Our unique concierge program offers cardiac care that puts your needs first; you will receive extensive screening tests and sameday appointments.” This

means the days of waiting weeks to see a cardiologist or obtain diagnostic testing are well behind you. There are other options available to those patients who would like to be more closely monitored by the doctor. One of them is the comprehensive cardiovascular exam and consultation with a cardiologist.

The Tier 1 benefits program involves several tests: • The CIMT evaluation measures the "age" of your blood vessels and is highly predictive of development and progression of blockages in the arteries of the heart.

• Carotid ultrasound evaluates blockages in arteries in the neck that could cause strokes.

• Abdominal ultrasound evaluates the presence of aneurysms in the abdominal aorta.

• Complete lipid panel.

• Stress test to evaluate

blockages in the arteries of the heart as well as determine heart function, valve status and heart muscle thickness.

After the tests, you get a same-day appointment with the cardiologist and can also speak directly to cardiologist or nurse practitioner from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In addition, cardiac records are provided on USB memory for you to take anywhere in the world in case of cardiac emergency.

The Tier 2 plan includes all of those in Tier 1 plus 7/24 cell phone or Skype communication with the cardiologist and house calls when needed.

Contact Dr. Orr’s office at (760) 635-9171 for scheduling and visit www.coastcardio.com for further information.

Egg hunt comes to La Jolla A children’s egg hunt and a special appearance by the Easter bunny will headline the April 17 La Jolla Open Aire Market. Open nearly every Sunday, the market is held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the La Jolla Elementary School grounds at Girard Avenue and Genter Street.

“We’ll have two hunts, one at 10 a.m. for kids ages 4 and below and noon for the older kids with 5,000 Easter eggs,” said Darcy Young, market manager. “Every year I increase the (egg) number: We’re getting such a huge turnout.”

“We have 49 farmers — that is huge, the biggest in San Diego County,” noted Sherry Ahern, a former La Jolla Elementary School mom who started the market as a school fundraiser more than 12 years ago. “People want farmers. That’s the hardest thing to find. I was also the first person to have an artisan at the market.”

Ahern, with help and support from San Diego Unified School District and local community and school groups, organized the first market at La Jolla Elementary School on Oct. 25, 1998 with 14 farmers and one artisan. The market has continued to grow and has become a vibrant weekly community event, now with more than 100 vendors every Sunday.

Scott James, an Open Aire Market vendor who sells leather and ceramic goods imported from Italy, talked about what he liked most about the market — the customers.

We believe that positive outcome flows from the physical to the psychological and the emotional.

Time for both sides to take a time out at Children’s Pool Our View With only a month left in the official seal pupping season, we’re hopeful that the advocates on both sides of this emotional issue will take a time out to consider what they have created.

We realize people are passionate about wanting or not wanting the harbor seals at the Children’s Pool.

We’ve listened to both sides and are as conflicted about it as many locals are. Our own staff stands on both sides of the discussion.

The point here is not to take a stand, but rather to ask those that feel they have to cross the rope barrier and set up their beach camps and those that shout and send videotapes showing what they say is harassment to step back. Take a look at YouTube and you can view both sides, and neither presentation is pretty.

People who live here and come to La Jolla enjoy our spectacular views and usually peaceful beaches. Some like seeing the seals; others partake of our shopping, dining and vacation spots. Sometimes do all of the above.

But when the experience is inter-

rupted by shouting matches or the view is cluttered by tables full of literature and items for sale, we believe the Jewel loses a good bit of its luster.

The Light has received many letters from tourists complaining about the tension they feel walking by the Children’s Pool, and even a few who said they will never return because of what they and their children witnessed.

We urge the “pro-beach” people and the “seal advocates” to take a look inward. If they were innocent passersby with their children in tow, how would they explain the shout-

ing and the people who don’t respect the signs or the rope barrier?

We don’t have a solution but think city and state officials should take another look at the rules, including the “free speech tables” and the use of a ranger, none of which seem to be working at this point.

Meanwhile, we encourage the two sides to step back. Maybe they could all take the rest of pupping season off and see what happens. Maybe the people and seals who want to use the beach would all be better off. For sure, those of us who like to walk along the coastline would be.

Value in linking ‘Big Pharma,’ S.D. biotech industry COmmunity LeaDer’S View

By Joe Panetta President/CEO, BIOCOM BIOCOM recently held its first Global Life Science Partnering Conference, in which the leaders of Southern California’s biotechnology community and representatives of large pharmaceutical companies were brought together to fuel the alliances that are the lifeblood of the region’s drug discovery industry.

For three days, attendees from small biotech, large biotechs and Big Pharma participated in panel discussions on everything from biotech company shareholder activism, to in-licensing models used by pharmaceutical companies. More than 240 people attending the conference net-

worked at receptions and dinners, and, most importantly, sat down face-to-face in dozens of pre-arranged meetings to consider collaborative opportunities in product development.

San Diego is fortunate to have the most innovative biotechnology community in the world. Also part of the community are research and development operations from most of largest pharmaceutical companies in the U.S., including such well-known names as Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lilly. That’s quite an impressive list on its own, but add to this the presence of foreign giants such as Novartis, Teva and Sanofi-Aventis and it becomes obvious that something is happening here that is most attractive to “Big Pharma.” The at-

tendees at BIOCOM’s Global Partnering Conference confirmed, for me, the importance of this presence in San Diego.

Partnering dollars account for half the financing brought into the region’s life science cluster.

But it’s not just the funding that makes the collaboration of biotech and Big Pharma so appealing. By bringing together the expertise of the small biotech, usually concentrating on a narrow disease area, with the broad expertise, equipment and experience of Big Pharma, one can begin to imagine the innovative drug and therapeutic development taking place right here.

These partnerships also lead to acquisitions that further strengthen the region’s life sciences. For example, Pfizer acquired Agouron Pharmaceuticals and Idun

One person’s perspective on potholes A couple of major blobs that were recently fixed but are now sinking might fit into the Light’s pothole project. One on La Jolla Rancho Road at intersection of Cottontail and the other on La Jolla Parkway in the left hand turn lane to get to Hidden Valley Road. I don’t have photos, but they are BIG. I will send along others as I bounce over them. I have been phoning in potholes to the City for years and have very good results — sometimes fixed within 24 hours. The Scripps Ranch project on April 23 emphasizes not only smooth roads and less damage to cars, but also cost savings to the city as a crew can take care of multiple problems in the same area at one time.

An ode to the Coast Boulevard regulars Community View Louise BLakesLee GiLPin Dean of Students The Bishop’s School

I begin my workdays before dawn by walking down to WindanSea and along the coast past the wedding bowl, the Children’s Pool, around the Cove accompanied by the sea lions’ lively debates, up the hill by the Cave Store, a quick stop at Brick and Bell for a coffee, and then on to work.

I don’t pass many others until I get to Coast Boulevard where there is a band

of other regular early morning walkers. Some speak reluctantly, seeming to resent the intrusion into their morning reverie, but most greet me with a “good morning” or a small wave. I know only one of these regulars’ names, but they have come to feel like friends.

There is the woman who wears headphones and a maroon parka, her gift a wonderfully warm smile; the elderly man with a cane and a Harvard zip-up sweatshirt; and the blond woman with a small tan and white dog.

This week, one of the regu-

lars remarked that I was going to live forever, a comment likely inspired by my fast paced walking.

The small interactions with these people punctuate my walk, a connection that is not to be underestimated.

During a terrible time in my life last year, these moments helped me get through each day. So, to my morning compatriots, my Coast Boulevard regulars, thank you for brightening my days with your smiles and your companionship, unplanned and unintended as they may be.

French-American school gets jump on earth week On Monday, students and parents at San Diego French-American School kicked off a week-long series of activities for their own “Semaine de la terre/ Earth Week,” in advance of next week’s “Earth Day.” Under the supervision of the school’s Green Campus Committee, students planted flowers to spruce up the

campus and some brought plants for the herb garden they are growing next to the lunch area.

The weeklong program includes litter clean up, water and energy conservation, and cell phone and battery recycling. An exhibition of art made from recycled materials will be on display at the pre-elementa-

Be vigilant around St. James church I have learned that St. James Episcopal Church has been experiencing a series of acts of vandalism. They released an internal message that a row of 20-year-old palm trees were going to be removed since they have been poisoned beyond repair. Additionally, motor oil was recently poured on the church steps. It seems like the level of vandalism seems to be escalating. I am calling upon La Jolla residents to be extra vigilant when walking around the church and report any suspicious activity to the San Diego Police Department.

For sale signs need to go I was reading last week’s REBA 87th Anniversary section and had to laugh out loud when I saw the picture on page 9 with all the old signs and read the line below: In La Jolla, for sale signs are not permitted.”

The photo reminds me of every intersection where

there is an open house, and that occurs every weekend or more often! Seriously, there are hundreds of signs and it seems no one respects the rule their organization created. It really is an eyesore, but like with the news racks, one leads to more and with no enforcement, the sheep follow to the detriment of all of La Jolla. We all have GPS these days and one sign in front of the property for the day is enough. We have sold many homes while still following the rules. It would be great if the agents would respect their own rules and the community they make a living in.

Situation at Children’s Pool makes no sense Two weekends ago, it was sad to see the doe-eyed seals in the La Jolla Children’s pool waters, looking at the beach lined with people, but not coming up onto the beach, due to their fear. If the beach is to be truly shared, which it should be if people can be peaceful with the animals, the geniuses who implemented the barri-

er would have placed it perpendicular to the shore such that a section of unpopulated beach with water access is available to these animals to nurse their pups, while the other allows people to enter waters without disturbing the seals.

The blatant stupidity and escalation of this situation is heartbreaking, and placement of the barrier makes no logical sense. The seals are innocent creatures, a valuable educational asset, a tourist attraction, and need to be respected. People also have rights to enter the waters if they choose, but to line the shore, such that the seals are afraid to come up on the beach, is cruel.

There is a happy medium to the situation, which is sharing, which is possible with a sectioning of the beach that actually makes sense. When I first moved here over 15 years ago, the seals were present, appreciated and the use of the beach by people unrestricted. It is a shame to see animals that just want to do what they have done for years, tormented and driven off the beach, for no real reason other than satisfying the needs of fanatics.

COURTESY

From Panetta, a18 Pharmaceuticals. Eli Lilly acquired Applied Molecular Evolution and Structural Genomics and Merck acquired Sibia Neurosciences and Corvas. Each of these pharma companies established itself here as a result of one of these acquisitions.

Their presence continues to contribute to the research, talent and diversity of the

biotech community. These companies also integrate themselves into BIOCOM and other business-supporting organizations, bringing with them expertise in public policy and advocacy.

They create licensing opportunities, bringing needed capital to small biotechs while improving their own pipeline of innovative technologies.

The acquisitions also provide the real opportunity for small biotech companies to see their research efforts come to fruition through development and commercialization arrangements that many companies could not fund exclusively. With the growth of collaborations between small biotechs and Big Pharma, I see a brighter future for patients everywhere.

Torreys earn extra-inning win against Vikings

By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com Never count out the La Jolla Country Day baseball team. Not as long as they still have a chance to bat.

The Torreys faced a two-run deficit against crosstown rival La Jolla High on Monday as they headed into the top of the seventh inning. Needing two runs to keep the game alive, sophomore Dustin Hughes came up big with a two-run double to send the game to extra innings tied at 3-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was his most significant hit of the year, really,â&#x20AC;? La Jolla Country Day coach John Edman said.

From there, Country Day took over, notching three runs in the top of the eighth to secure the win against the Vikings. 6-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually have a really mentally tough team, which is great,â&#x20AC;? Edman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have won a bunch of games late. Either tie ball games that we win or ball games that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down by a couple and we come back and win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably been our biggest mark, our mental toughness, especially late in the ball game.â&#x20AC;?

Not only did the Torreys (10-3 overall) come up with clutch hits in the late innings, they also got a superior effort on the mound from Sam Ayala to close out the game.

For the Vikings (6-8 overall), they got off to 3-0 lead after the first four innings as Bobby Schuman, Max Needham and Kevin Usselman all drove in runs in the fourth inning.

But the early lead proved to not be enough as the Torreys rallied in the top of the eighthw, led by three straight hits from Austin Rooke, Anthony Torres and Alex Guenette to notch the go-ahead runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our lineup is very deep,â&#x20AC;? Edman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go all the way down our lineup with threats to score.â&#x20AC;?

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 14, 2011 - Page a21

Busy spring break for LJCD golfers The La Jolla Country Day boys golf team had an active schedule during their two-week spring break.

During that time frame, the Torreys played nine matches and had an overall record of four wins and five losses. The biggest loss was a 200203 setback to Francis Parker. The two teams will play again this week.

The Torreys had some very close matches which includes a one-stroke win over Westview at Maderas by the score of 198-199, a two-stroke loss to Coronado 213-215 and an impressive nine-shot win against St. Augustine, 194-203, at Riverwalk. The team also had a one-stroke loss to La Costa Canyon at Del Mar Country Club, 210-211.

Senior Anthony Paolucci shot a 35 at Maderas, a 35 at Del Mar against Santa Fe Christian and a season-low 32 at Riverwalk against St. Augustine to earn medalist honors in all three matches.

Junior Alberto Sanchez was co–medalist against La Costa Canyon with a 38 and junior Bernardo Bustamente was medalist against TriCity Christian at San Luis Rey Downs with a 41.

This week, Country Day gets right back into it with Coastal League matches against The Bishop’s School at La Jolla Country Club. The Torrey’s also travel as a split squad to face St. Augustine at Cottonwood and Thursday will host La Jolla High at Encinitas Ranch .

“I was pleased with the wins against St. Augustine and Westview, but am looking for more consistency in the bottom third of the lineup to turn these close losses into wins,” Torreys golf coach Bill Cahoone said. “With C.I.F. on the horizon, the team needs to be more consistent with their scores.”

Here are last week’s scores:

Plenty of excitement surrounds LJ Youth Baseball Between Opening Day and Spring Break, all La Jolla Youth Baseball games are considered “preseason,” which means the results are not counted towards the playoffs. The 21 home runs

certainly count as do the 45 RBI that were scored from them. This allows more kids to play new positions such as pitcher, shortstop and first base and younger players are allowed to develop

when they move into the next league. Think of it as spring training without the trip to Peoria.

The report from every league was that preseason was a big success.

Caden hit three home runs in the last two games of the preseason for a total of four in the month of March — all of them 3-run blasts.

Four swings — 4 HRs — 12 RBI. Not only does this lead LJYB in home runs, but the league is unsure the last time that has happened.

Diane Salisbury works to keep Symphony & Chorus playing to packed houses Diane Salisbury is in her fifth year as executive director of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus, an affiliate of UCSD that performs six concert weekends a year on campus in Mandeville Auditorium. She Diane assumed the post in Salisbury 2006, but her history with LJS&C dates back to 1993 when she served as a board member and, in 19992000, as board president.

Besides being an avid music lover, she has a marketing background in both retail and corporate communications. She previously was owner of a retail store (Mex-Art Pottery & Home Accents) and traveled frequently to central Mexico, sourcing and importing the store’s artisan products. Prior to that she was a partner in Salisbury-Figueroa, a marketing communications firm.

What brought you to La Jolla?

I’m a 32-year resident of San Diego and have always enjoyed La Jolla. The views, the park, the restaurants … it’s a unique place.

What brings me here mostly now is my position as executive director with La Jolla Symphony & Chorus.

What makes this area special to you?

I love that La Jolla is sophisticated yet still feels like a village. It’s a walkable town, and you almost always run into someone you know. I like the familiarity of businesses that have history in the community, too, like La Vie, Warwick’s, even places like The Spot and Alphonso’s.

If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you improve in the area?

I hope the community is able to maintain a balance between tradition and new. There are so many wonderful historical buildings. At the same time, there are many new businesses with little or no attachment to the community that have cropped up. It’s a tricky balancing act to keep a town vibrant but not lose its soul.

After a long career as a poet, La Jolla filmmaker creates ‘documentaries that make a difference’

By Lonnie BurStein Hewitt on’t worry, be happy.

Those four little words are a key to the full, fulfilling lives of the 90- and 100-year-olds featured in “Over 90 and Loving It,” a documentary by longtime La Jolla resident Susan Polis Schutz.

First screened at the Jewish Film Festival in February, it drew such a crowd that two additional screening rooms were opened to accommodate the audience. On April 20, it will have its “official” premiere at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla.

For the film, she interviewed

D

people across the country, from all walks of life, including her husband’s uncle, a 94-year-old New York City cabdriver. Each five-hour interview included the same 50 questions.

“The hardest part was cutting that five hours down to five minutes,” Schutz said, “and deciding which people to use in the film. It’s always hard to drop people, when you come to love them all.”

The 13 who made the cut have certain things in common: a healthy lifestyle, a positive attitude, and a commitment

Haven for Hardbacks

Bauer’s Rare Bookstore stocks stacks of wonderful works

By Jenna Jay Bauer’s Rare Bookstore reinforces Alfred Bauer’s stance on the importance of preserving literature in its written form — a stark contrast to trends in technology with reading devices.

“Kindle be gone!” he says.

To that end, Bauer, 71, is a proponent of maintaining the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library at UCSD, which is in danger of closing under proposed budget cuts.

His bookstore, one of a few in downtown La Jolla, carries on the tradition of ceiling-to-floor rows of shelves stocked with reading materials and Bauer plans to keep it that way.

“Long live the timeless ‘hands on’ approach to reading and browsing,” Bauer said, “for whatever age, it is our fortune to be.”

Bauer is also proprietor of the Alcala Gallery, 950 Silverado, the oldest pleinair art gallery in La Jolla.

‘The King’s Stilts’ was first published in 1939.

If you go ■ What: Bauer’s Rare Books, in its second year, buys and sells fine books and collections, and also accepts books on consignment.

■ Where: 7466 Girard Ave. (facing Drury Lane) ■ Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends and by appointment ■ Phone: (858) 551-5103 While he incorporates books about the gallery’s artists in his shop at the gallery, Bauer’s greatest literary findings are located in the alleyway behind Girard Avenue, facing onto Drury Lane.

The pet-friendly Bauer’s Rare Books is a hidden gem.

Bookstore manager Drew Sinclair (left) at the shop with owner alfred Bauer.

The shop features collections on subjects like the fine arts, architecture, photography and interior design, but the bookstore’s most impressive gems are its literary classics.

Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald and even Dr. Seuss are VIPs here with several of their first editions available

Revolutionary War pamphlets on display.

for purchase. “[I have] John Steinbeck, he’s very popular,” Bauer said. “Mark Twain, ‘Huckleberry Finn.’ It’s endless what I have.”

Bauer collects, preserves and conserves books, buying and selling hard-to-find literary keepsakes. The oldest book in his collection dates

to 1508, but Bauer declines to disclose their monetary value, “out of respect to my clients,” he explained.

“Everything is original,” Bauer said. “We handpick everything here. I put the covers on all the books. It’s a big job.”

Young readers will find

delights, as well. Original Dr. Seuss books, like “The King’s Stilts,” sit on the shelves behind the counter, and other signed books by Ted Geisel are available for purchase.

Among other prized possessions are original Revolutionary War pamphlets, “The Great Gatsby” (sans its original cover), and a signed book by Richard Nixon.

The store is managed by Drew Sinclair, whose bronze and aluminum sculptures add even more value to the interior.

Bauer has been a bookstore owner since the 1960s, when he opened his first shop on Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach. “In the very near future,” he said, “it is our intention to offer talks to the public about book collecting, the proper care of books, book conservation, how to identify a first edition, and the lure of children’s literature.”

La Jolla’s League House gets the royal treatment from artist Paula McColl

By KirBy BrooKs What do the Queen of England and the residents of La Jolla’s League House have in common?

The work of artist Paula McColl, that’s what.

McColl’s art pops up in unexpected places throughout League House, perking up an otherwise industriallooking staircase and making an antiquated exercise machine look downright charming.

And across the sea, there are two McColl’s hanging at Sandringham, the Queen of England’s Norfolk country home. (More on that, later.)

League House is owned and operated by the Social Service League of La Jolla, a non-profit incorporated in 1947 that is dedicated to providing affordable housing for those who have lived and worked in San Diego but cannot provide their own housing after retirement.

In addition to League House, which boasts 52 apartments, Social Services League of La Jolla owns and operates Darlington House, located right next door at 7441 Olivetas Ave. Darlington House, an enchanting Sevillestyle villa, hosts fundraisers, weddings and other gatherings to enhance support of

League House.

Its director, Lois Stanton, said she first met worldrenowned artist Paula McColl when she painted the neonatal wing of Scripps Mercy Hospital, where Stanton’s husband works.

McColl has a vacation home in La Jolla and spends half the year here, the other half in Calgary, Canada.

“She gives art where it is so appreciated,” said Stanton.

“Her artwork nourishes the soul and makes people feel better.” Stanton said her friend made her first mark on League House in the form of painted Birds of Paradise in the hallway to the laundry room. Pointing

to the dining room — to create something that the male residents of the League House would appreciate.

“Residents love the whimsy and wit of Paula’s paintings,” Stanton said — so much so that a few of them approached McColl about beautifying the walls outside their units. McColl painted a pot of cherry-red geraniums outside the door of one apartment per the resident’s request, while bougainvillea snake around a utility door that another apartment opens out into.

Visitors and residents are greeted by McColl’s artwork from the moment they walk up the entrance to League

Award Winning German Cuisine

across the courtyard to a stairway brought to life with McColl’s whimsical Morning Glories, Stanton revealed, “She painted the stairway on her own.”

McColl’s most recent pro bono addition to League House is a cheeky mustached man, wearing a top hat while riding a unicycle. The painting adorns a dimly lit corner housing an exercise machine that can best be described as “vintage.”

“I like to balance the masculine and feminine,” McColl explained, adding that she wanted to deviate from flowers — like the brilliant bougainvillea winding around the doors

House. Life-size birds of paradise and other plants cover one wall, while on the opposite wall, home to the directory and intercom, McColl painted a playful butterfly and matching tangerine-colored flowers.

A native of Zanesville, Ohio, McColl said she attended Hunter College in New York City. After graduating with a degree in studio art, she exhibited at Edward Thorp Gallery and subsequently held several shows focusing on her architectural work in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

She was commissioned to create pieces for homes and hotels scattered across the globe, from Austria and Finland to Hawaii, but one home stands out from the pack: Sandringham.

McColl said she called London home in the early 1980s and befriended the family of the then private secretary to the Queen, who suggested that the Queen might be interested in her work. Rather than Windsor, McColl was taken on a special visit to Sandringham.

odd fellow gives residents something to smile about in the ‘workout room.’

Of her resulting collection, the Queen handpicked two paintings that now hang somewhere at Sandringham.

“It was marvelous because of the validation,” McColl recalled, before joking. “I don’t know where it’s hanging, it might be in the washroom!”

Despite her modesty, McColl’s body of artwork is vast and includes portraits of the Royal Ballet’s Cuban star Carlos Acosta, yet she continues to choose to improve the lives of others through her paintings.

At the League House’s St. Patrick’s Day party, numerous residents approached Stanton to gush about the colorful images that now pervade the once-white walls of League House, with one resident stating the work, “gives us great integrity.”

The famous “lily” portrayed in France’s “fleur de lys” heraldry, first adopted by the French court in 1179, actually depicts an iris.

True. People have cultivated the lily for at least three millennia.

Ancient Chinese and Assyrians revered the flower. To the ancient Greeks, the lily stood for tenderness, while early Christians used the lily as a symbol of purity. Today 95 percent of all bulbs grown for the potted Easter Lily market are produced by just 10 farms in a narrow coastal region straddling the California/Oregon border. The Easter Lily bulbs are harvested in the fall, packed and shipped to greenhouses where they are planted in pots and forced under controlled conditions to bloom for the holiday.

FROM Schutz, B1 to following their passions.

They don’t focus on their age or health problems, and they’re not afraid of death.

Some of these over-90s have extraordinary skills, like the Senior Olympics medalist who is still running, shot-putting, and pole vaulting at age 94.

Or the ragtime-pianoplaying couple who have been making music together since 1947.

But most are just ordinary folks busy making the most of the rest of their lives. And that involves doing for others. As one woman, a 97-year-old African-American who organizes major giveaways to the needy, says: “Helping somebody — that’s what I love to do.” Says another, “To be able to make a difference is exhilarating.”

“That’s why I’m making my films,” said Schutz. It’s the motto of her film company, Iron Zeal: “Documentaries that make a difference.”

Schutz has come a long way from Peekskill, the small town in upstate New York where she grew up in the 1950s, wanting to be the first female pro baseball player.

Newlyweds Dr. Ernest Rogers and his wife, Anele, plan to attend the ‘Over 90’ premiere party. Courtesy Instead, she began writing heartfelt poetry, took a teaching job in New York City’s Harlem ghetto, was drawn into 1960’s activism, and met her husband, Stephen, who had a doctorate in physics and a talent for art.

The two made their way

to Boulder, Colorado, where Stephen had a job in solar physics, and Susan worked as a freelance writer until one fateful day in 1970, when he decided to illustrate a poem she had written to a friend.

They started silk-screen-

ing posters in their basement, selling them from the back of their pickup truck.

Then they branched out into greeting cards — the humble beginning of their wildly successful company, Blue Mountain Arts.

With Susan’s ability to put her personal experiences into words that millions of people could identify with, Blue Mountain cards were like something you’d get from a caring, compassionate, sweetly articulate friend.

Books and calendars followed, and then, in the 1990s, they pioneered electronic greeting cards by launching bluemountain. com. They sold that part of the company in 1999.

“We got into it because we had nice messages,” said Schutz. “But the business part — all that deal-making — was not for us.”

Filmmaking became her new passion. In 2005, she produced and directed “Anyone and Everyone,” with parents of gay sons and daughters speaking

frankly about their kids’ coming out. Like her poems, the film came from personal experience, since her oldest son is gay.

“I saw the torture he and his friends went through, telling their families, and what the families went through, and I found some wonderful people to be in the film,” Schutz said.

All her films have the same interview format, and generally deal with some issue she’s faced in her life. There’s one on depression, another on following your dreams.

Her current project deals with resiliency: How do you turn your life around after tragedy? And she keeps in touch with many of the people in her films.

Schutz works with the same team, year after year.

Karen Bidgood, her executive assistant for the past 13 years, is her associate producer.

(Not so long, in Schutz-time — many of the Blue Mountain staff have been with her more than 30 years!)

KPBS has presented all her films, and distributes them to other public television stations. It will host the screening/reception at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

An excerpt from one of Susan Polis Schutz’s poems This life is yours ...

Take the power to create your own dreams and try hard to reach them.

Take the power to make your life healthy exciting worthwhile and very happy.

It’s What Makes La Jolla Special. It’s What Makes Us Different.

Board Members: Phyllis Pfeiffer, Chair Rochelle Bold Matthew Browar George Hauer Susan McClellan Andy Nelson Scott Peters Matthew Peterson Buzz Woolley

Those of us who live and work in La Jolla know we are a fortunate group. Unmatched in its unique beauty and extraordinary sense of community, there can be no doubt that La Jolla is truly special.

It’s up to all of us to keep it that way.

The La Jolla Community Foundation focuses on enhancing the aesthetic character of the community through the investment and enrichment of the environmental, social and cultural experience of LaJolla by creating and improving inviting public spaces.

Current and Future projects include: • Preserved Fire Rings

• Installation of shoreline pedestals

• Created Murals of La Jolla

• Beautification of Torrey Pines Corridor

We ask you to join us.

Join us as we focus on what’s important to La Jolla.

Join us as we make a difference that will last for generations.

www.lajollalight.com FROM questiOns, B1 Who or what inspires you?

The people I work with inspire me. The musicians of LJS&C are incredibly talented volunteers who show up for rehearsals every Monday night after working their day jobs. That’s passion, and it’s what got me hooked on this organization in the first place. And it is inspiring to work with a visionary like music director Steven Schick.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

Only eight! There are so many people I’d love to have a conversation with over a good meal and glass of wine. But here is my guest list: Betty Friedan, Julia Child and her culinary co-conspirator Jacques Pepin (not only for the conversation, but perhaps a little help in the kitchen), Margaret Mead, what an extraordinary life she led, Howard Schultz (founder of Starbucks), and since we’re on a La Jolla theme, Ellen Browning Scripps, a visionary and successful business woman in her own right, plus Leonard Bernstein and Igor Stravinsky — one of the most influential people of the 20th century.

one of my deeper moments: “The Looming Tower” by Lawrence Wright, about the rise of Islamic extremism.

What is your most-prized possession?

Our home. My husband and I live in South Mission Hills and wake up every morning to a wonderful view of downtown San Diego and the bay. I love being close to the city, with the cruise ships and airplanes coming and going, but still being in a neighborhood.

What do you do for fun?

When I have a chunk of time, I love to travel. Other lands and cultures have always held a fascination for me. I enjoy golfing, going to hear music and see theater, dining out, and entertaining friends at our home.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

I hope my greatest accomplishment is still out there! Something I’d like to accomplish is to gain for LJS&C the recognition it deserves. It’s been a “best-kept secret” for too long. And I want to make sure it has the financial resources to keep going for another 50 years.

The speakers are interested in efforts to make political decisions and art collaboratively, rather than individually in the case of art, or hierarchically in the case of politics. They will explore whether democratic art is possible or democratic politics practical.

The two scholars come to the conversation with an interest and shared recognition of the necessary interdependence of the political and the cultural in social change. For each, this has involved research that pushes against the boundaries of their respective disciplines.

“The Bronowski Art & Science Forum is a venue for the intellectually curious, an evening of conversation with great minds at the convergence of art and science," said Forum founder Ron Newby in a press release advancing the lecture. “In a very

Bubba’s signature menu item is the Pit-smoked Baby Back ribs served with a choice of sauces.

The smokehouse Cobb salad is topped with pulled pork, pulled chicken and applewood smoked bacon.

Frickles (fried pickle chips)

When it’s barbecue you crave, it’s Bubba’s Smokehouse that’s a fave

By Will Parson ust up the hill from Children’s Pool and La Jolla’s famous Harbor Seal colony, the casual walk-in atmosphere at Bubba’s Smokehouse BBQ attracts a lot of tourists. But locals look to Bubba’s as well for their smoked meat fix, as the eatery offers the best bet for barbecue in the village.

Owner and New York transplant Jeff Nicoletta charms his hungry visitors with personal attention right when they come in the door.

Serving up top sellers like baby back ribs and sliced brisket, the Navy veteran keeps the wait time to a minimum while making his guests feel welcome.

Lunchtime on a weekday doesn’t leave the place crowded, and it’s that quick service and food quality, rivaling Phil’s BBQ in Point Loma, that made a repeat customer out of Sergio Javier. He comes every Tuesday with a friend.

“If I were to go to Phil’s, I would

■ This week: Bubba’s Frickles (fried pickle chips) be standing outside for like an hour trying to get in. I can come (to Bubba’s) and my food is here in not even 15 minutes.”

The menu at Bubba’s includes meaty sandwiches, half-pound burgers, pit-smoked ribs, and a hearty Cobb salad.

There are several other leafy choices, but if you are a vegetarian, then this certainly isn’t the place you want to be. However, if you

are searching for jerked chicken, frickles (deep-fried pickle chips) or fried catfish, you’d be hard-pressed to find them elsewhere in La Jolla.

The frickles are $3 during the daily happy hour, as are snacks like hush puppies and fried okra, as well as beer and wine.

Javier’s table on a recent visit was dotted with several cups of self-serve barbecue sauce to supplement his sandwich. There are two types of self-serve barbecue sauce available, aside from the typical ketchup. The Kickin’ BBQ Sauce is the spicier variety, and the Lip-Smackin’ Sweet Sauce is just as its name suggests.

Javier notes, “Sometimes I go all out with it, I’ll pour a bunch of barbecue on here, but I don’t really like the Kickin’ barbecue, so I’ll go with the Sweet.”

Whichever sauce you choose, it will certainly go well with a majority of the items on the menu.

Just avoid putting it on the frickles.

By Diana Saenger Tom Dudzick is a busy playwright. His trilogy about family life rings true with audiences, and includes humorous scenarios and hearttugging situations that keep it on theater marquees across the country. In 2009, North Coast Repertory Theatre staged his first installment, “Over the Tavern.” The second, “King O’ The Moon,” has its west coast premiere at NCRT beginning April 13.

(Part three, “The Last Mass at St. Casimir’s,” will hopefully come to NCRT sometime down the line.)

“Over the Tavern,” based on Dudzick’s own upbringing, centers around the Pazinski family of five in the 1950s who live above a tavern but maintain their Catholic family values.

“King O’ The Moon,” is set 10 years later in the chaotic 1960s when life in America has changed and the family must deal with weighty issues like divorce, remarriage, war and draft-evasion.

Dubbed by many theater critics as “the Catholic Neil Simon,” Dudzick and his plays have broken box office

records across the Midwest.

Matt Thompson, a frequent artist at NCRT both as an actor and director, directs “King O’ The Moon.” He played the father in “Over the Tavern” and NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein said he thought Thompson would be perfect to direct “part two.”

“Since I understood the family dynamics and the characters, David thought that made sense, so I agreed,” Thompson said.

The cast includes Kandis Chappell (“Collected Stories”) as Ellen, Julian Conrad (“Twelfth Night”) as Georgie, Kevin Koppman-Gue (“The History Boys”) as Rudy, Ross Hellwig (“The Rainmaker”) as Eddie, John Herzog (“The Tempest”) as Walter, Sunny Smith (“Smokey Joe’s Café”) as Maureen, and Krysten Hafso (“Rebels”) as Annie.

“Kandis, as the mother of the family, is a seasoned actor who has performed all over San Diego and is a joy to work with,” said Thompson. “She and John (the family’s long-time employee) get along well together.

Kevin, who has been doing

a lot of work, is only 20 years old and played the boy in the Rep’s recent play “The Drawer Boy.” And we have some new actors to the Rep, like my wife Sunny who plays Eddie’s wife. She does a great job. We’ve directed each other before, and we work well together.

Georgie is back as a 22-yearold man and Conrad plays him well.”

Because of the serious issues facing the characters, parents might want to leave kids ages 12 and under at home. One of those issues is the Vietnam War. A topic, Thompson said, audiences might relate to.

“There’s a good parallel here because of the war we’re involved in right now,” he said. “The play touches on some of the horrors of war, and hopefully, the audience will be able to respond to that.

This play was written in 1998, but it’s art imitating life. It really gets to the salt of the Earth … who humanity really is. You look at these characters on stage and you recognize yourself or somebody you know.”

Laughter spills all through the Old Globe’s ‘Rafta’ Rafta’ If you go

Let’s Review

By Diana Saenger

The gales of laughter hailing from the Old Globe Theatre are coming from audiences enjoying the West Coast premiere of “Rafta, Rafta,” onstage through April 24.

The 2008 Olivier Awardwinning comedy by Ayub Khan-Din brings Indian family traditions forefront when a recently married couple must live with the groom’s family. The British play examines what happens when a young couple must choose between saving money or their marriage … … The Dutt family migrated to England years ago.

The play opens as the wedding of second-generation son Atul Dutt (Rachid Sabi-

tri) and Vina Patel (Mahira Kakkar) is about to take place. Merriment and dancing fill the stage until it’s time for the evening to wind down.

At the Dutt home, both sets of parents are anxious to let their children retreat to their room, which happens to be located right across the hall from Atul’s parents Eeshwar (Kamal Marayati) and Lopa (Geeta Citygirl Chopra), and his brother Jai

(Ariya Ghahramani).

But before the “send-off,” the women congregate in the kitchen where Vina begs her mother Lata (Gita Reddy) to quit talking about sex while in the living room, Eeshwar wants to party.

As the girls re-enter it’s soon apparent that Eeshar and Atul don’t get along.

Eeshwar says what he thinks and acts out his thoughts while Atul is quiet, reserved, shy. When Eeshwar has too

much to drink and falls down, the newlyweds bid farewell to their parents and head upstairs.

Although Atul takes steps to make the room romantic while Vina changes, the wedding night is a disaster because Atul can’t consummate the marriage. Vina, of course, is so perplexed she spills the beans to her mother, and soon everyone knows Vina remains a virgin after weeks of marriage.

As the families get to know one another and try to help the newlyweds as best they can, personalities flare. Lata keeps a tight rein on Eeshwar, Vina chastises her mother for babbling, her father Laxman (Nasser Faris) tries to hold on to his daughter, and Jai becomes moon-eyed over Vina, too.

The play, directed by Jonathan Silverstein, is filled with music and funny oneliners, and the characters

are easy to like — even the crazy Molly (Carolyn Kozlowski). On the downside, trying to deliver lines in an Indian dialect with a British accent is difficult and many words spoken were missed, dulling some conversations.

Despite the troubled accents, “Rafta, Rafta” is a fun time with a simple story that requires little work to understand. It takes even less work to really enjoy it and have a good time.

he Scripps Research Institute recently hosted a High Tea in the galleria of the Beckman Center for Chemical Sciences to recognize local donors for their research support. Donors were provided with a behind-the-scenes update on recent discoveries and a peek into the breakthroughs around the corner.

Special recognition was given to the Scripps Legacy Society whose members have supported the science at Scripps Research by making a gift in their estate plans. Legacy Society member Kim Doren spoke briefly about her personal experience with disease and how it inspired her to support biomedical research.

Third-year graduate student Keary Engle also made a presentation. Engle is pursuing a joint Ph.D./D.Phil. at Scripps Research and the University of Oxford as a SkaggsOxford Scholar.

Soroptimist luncheon shines spotlight on women helping women

T

he Soroptimist International of La Jolla Annual Awards Luncheon was held March 19 at Good Samaritan Episcopal Church. Lunch was catered by Gretchen Vedder and Tiffany Trevino of Indigo Cafe, which has donated the food for the luncheon for the past three years.

The event raised more than $16,000 for the club’s service projects — all in support of programs for women and girls.

It included a silent auction underwritten by many local businesses. SILJ was founded in 1947. Learn more by visiting silj.org The Violet Richardson Award went to Megan Hastings who was presented with a $1,000 award, plus $500 toward her selected charity, Becky’s House, a YWCA project that runs domestic violence shelters.

Hastings is a junior at The Bishop’s School. She was also recently recognized as an “Everyday Hero” by Youth Service America for donating her own books, as well as books collected by her school, to the shelters.

The Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Award winners

were Luman Sellers, first place, who received $3,000, and Gloria Bradley, second place, who received $1,000. The funds are designed to benefit female heads of households, who return to school to improve their careers to support their families.

Applications for the award were submitted in the fall, and a panel of judges from the community chose the winners from many qualified applicants.

The Ruby: Making a Difference for Women Award, $500, was given to Cora Cormody to benefit her organization, Technology Goddesses, which provides mentorship and education to girls pursuing careers in technological fields.

Keynote speaker Gretchen Means, an assistant district attorney working with the San Diego Sex Crimes Unit, discussed the growing concern over sex trafficking of girls in the greater San Diego area.

Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher was also a guest at the luncheon. He helped congratulate the winners and hand out awards.

AllStar Baseball and Softball Academy a hit with pros

“If you wish to have your child learn how to play the game of baseball, send them to Coach Kurtis,” said Mike Sweeney, a five-time All-Star when he was with the Kansas City Royals.

Kurtis Swanberg, who runs the AllStar Baseball & Softball Academy, draws praises from other former Major League players including Brad Ausmus, Steve Finley, Mark Loretta and David Newhan.

Camps for boys and girls ages 5 -to 13-years-old start June 20. Participants will work to better their pitching, pickoff, hitting, fielding, base running, bunting and bagwork skills. They’ll also play live games each day and get T-shirts and trophies at the end of camp.

For details on the camps go to Allstarbaseballsoftball.com or call (858) 342-5931.

The bottom line about camp costs Parents know that camp is an experience that will last a lifetime. However, they may worry about the cost, especially if there is more than one camp-aged child in the house.

The good news for parents is that there is a camp for just about every budget. While fees to attend camp vary, they can range from $75 to over $650 per week for American Camp Association-accredited resident and day camps.

Parents may also reduce the costs by asking the right questions. When talking with the camp director, parents should ask the following: n What is the refund policy?

Refund policies vary greatly from camp to camp. Some refund for illness only, some will

give a total refund prior to certain date, and some don not refund at all. Most camps will ask for a small non-refundable deposit at the time of application, which may or may not go toward the cost of tuition. It is important to know the refund policy before you send any money. n Is there financial assistance available?

Many camps offer camperships, which is a partial or total subsidy of the tuition costs, but parents need to ask if they are available. Although they are usually awarded based on need, don not assume that you make too much to qualify. It is important to apply early.

Ready, Set, Camp! How to find the right camp for your child You are considering a summer camp, but how to choose? There’s a camp that is ideally suited for every child, providing a summer of growth and fun whether your child attends a day or overnight camp, a specialized or traditional camp. With a little help from the camp professionals at the American Camp Associa-

tion, here’s some sound advice that helps parents sort through the choices and benefits that camp delivers. As spring approaches, parents and children can look forward to planning for the future — a future that includes the opportunities for exploration and discovery that arrives with summer camp.

When is your child ready?

Children are ready for new experiences at different stages. Parents know their children best and these questions can help gauge whether this is the summer your child will start camp.

What is your child’s age? Children under age 7 may not adjust easily to being away from home.

Consider the day camp experience to prepare them for future overnight camp.

How did your child become interested in camp? Does your child talk about camp on a sustained basis? How much persuasion is necessary from you?

Has your child had positive overnight experiences away from home? Visiting relatives or friends? Were these separations easy or difficult?

What does your child expect to do at camp?

Learning about the camp experience ahead of time allows you to create positive expectations.

From Cost, B15 n What is included in the tuition?

Day camps will typically include transportation as part of their tuition. Resident camps may offer limited transportation, such as a van ride from a major local train station. Other amenities to ask about are fees for special programs and trips, laundry service, camp canteen, special equipment that is required and service organization membership. Also, ask the camp director if it is appropriate to send spending money with your child. n Are special discounts available?

Often, camps will offer special discounts for such things as early registration, full-season enrollment, and enrollment of multiple family

Le TOUR du MONDE 2011

Children will enjoy the excitement of new languages - French, Chinese and Spanish. Learn about other cultures in theme-based activities. $15 EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT

by April 30th, applies to full time camp only.

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

A Camp for Every Child Camp can last for just a few days or stretch to all summer long. It’s well worth the trouble to investigate the variety of choices offered by camps before your child packs a backpack.

These questions help you consider the options.

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

members. If more than one special discount applies, parents may only be able to take advantage of one.

Founded in 1910, the American Camp Association is a national community of camp professionals and is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults through the camp experience. The ACA camp database provides parents with many ways to find the ideal ACAaccredited camp. For more information, visit ACA’s family-dedicated Web site, www.CampParents.org.

Nico is an affectionate, loving dog looking for a home. Nico has the unfailing ability to brighten anyone’s day. A sweet little ball of love, he can’t wait to find a family to cherish. Nico came to us as a stray with bite wounds to his chest, and this resilient little pup has won over the hearts of our entire Veterinary Medicine department! Nico has fully recovered and loves spending time with people friends that he knows and trusts. He gets along very well with other dogs and enjoys interacting with them. Nico will do well in a variety of homes, but due to his initial shyness with new faces and places, a home with children 12 years and older is recommended.

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?

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.
