Street crews earn their keep on the streets of La Jolla By KAthy DAy kday@lajollalight.com tanding in the middle of a major street with a city crew filling potholes gives one new perspective on their job. There’s the dirt, the 350degree asphalt, the danger of standing in the middle of a street — and then there are the disrespectful drivers. As a team began working on North Torrey Pines Road on April 28 under the watchful eye of City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, her aide Erin Demorest and two key city employees, most cars slowed down. But one driver, seemingly caught off guard by flashing lights on a truck several Sherri hundred feet Lightner away, the lights on a second truck and a long line or orange cones, floored his accelerator. As the car blew by the somewhat stunned group smoke pouring from its exhaust, Public Works Director Joe Castillo said that speeding cars and disrespectful drivers go with their jobs. He described one time someone spit on him. Then there was the time he was working on a drainage problem near the Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course. Standing near the puddle that reached midway into the street, he said, a driver steered his car into the water and splashed the entire crew.

Maneuvering starts over redistricting By KAthy DAy kday@lajollalight.com Joe LaCava is a man on a mission. Recently termed out as the chairman of the La Jolla Community Planning Association and a year out of his role as president of the Bird Rock Community Council, he’s trying to focus La Jollans’ attention on the current process of drawing new lines for City Council Districts. In addition to satisfying the requirement to redraw boundaries to balance population changes, this year the process includes adding a ninth council district as approved by voters in last year’s Strong Mayor measure. (Similar rebalancing must be done for the county supervisors and Joe congressional districts.) LaCava The city council district realignment is the subject of a public meeting set for 6 p.m. May 11 at the La Jolla Library, where people can have their say, and a three-week old push to get the word out about the impacts.

I have to confess my husband implored me not to write about the seals. He works hard enough, he says, without having to come home to crosses burning on the front lawn. So let me start out by saying that it was incredibly generous of Ellen Browning Scripps to have donated the money for a breakwater at Seal Rock Point some 80 years ago as “a gratuity to children.” But in more recent years, WHAT children?
Maybe I just walked by at all the wrong times, but I rarely – pre-seals — saw many children at the Children’s Pool. In fact, most of the habitués in the last few decades seem to have been teenagers with group death wishes hanging out on the sea wall during storm surf. (They’re actually still there, same death wish, going for up-closeand-personal photo-ops with the seals.) I’m sorry, Ellen, because I know you were very well intentioned. And because in 1931, I’ll bet there weren’t that many backyard pools.

Casa stairway repairs set By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com Work will begin May 16 to reconstruct the stairs to South Casa Beach. Joe Castillo, public works superintendent for the city, said last week that crews will have to do much of the work by hand and 5-gallon buckets because of limited access to the concrete stairway leading to the beach just south of the Children’s Pool. The stairs have been closed since mid-December when city officials deemed them unsafe. Last month La Jolla’s Parks and Beaches Inc. board agreed to keep the pressure on the city to get repairs done before summer. News of stair repairs was welcomed by Patrick Ahern, interim chair of La Jolla Parks and Beaches, who noted the committee found it “unacceptable” Casa stairs had been proposed to be closed all summer. “We presented them with a temporary fix similar to what we did at WindanSea using wooden stairs and other methods to get the stairs through the summer,

the South Casa Stairway in La Jolla has been closed since mid-December for repair work. DAVE SCHWAB and to their (city’s) credit, they responded quickly looking at multiple approaches and coming up with a relatively long-term solution,” Ahern said. With the seal pupping season ending on May 15, a crew of about a dozen workers will begin the next day, jack-hammering out the broken stairs and carrying buckets of concrete up to the staging area on Coast Boulevard. They plan to cut holes where they can and backfill the steps with slurry and concrete to stabilize
them, Castillo said, adding that work may be intermittent because of tides. “We’re at Mother Nature’s mercy,” he noted, pointing out that high tides wash water up onto the stairs. Workers will use the lifeguard parking area during the workday so the public may be inconvenienced for the two weeks of the project. Castillo said they plan to complete the work by the time the annual construction moratorium goes into effect just before Memorial Day weekend.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MAY 5, 2011 - Page a5
By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com On a 6-0 vote, the San Diego City Council voted Monday to ban dogs from Children’s Pool and adjacent areas in La Jolla except for service dogs and city employees in performance of their work. City Park and Recreation Director Stacy LoMedico reminded the council that the ban was first proposed at a special City Council meeting on May 17, 2010. “That includes the stairway and the breakwater wall,” said LoMedico. Asked by Councilwoman Marti Emerald the purpose of the move, LoMedico replied, “The idea was that this prohibitive measure would prevent potential conflicts between harbor
seals and dogs.” First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner an made the motion to approve the ban. Council members Tony Young and Lorie Zapf were absent. The action will alter the existing rules that allow dogs on the beach before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m. The move comes just before the officially designated end of the seal pupping season on May 15, when the guideline rope separating humans from seals is scheduled to come down. The barrier has become a major bone of contention between those who want the beach closed to humans to protect the seals and those who want access to the beach. Earlier this year the City Council opposed a plan to keep the rope up
year-round. Since then, a group of regular beach goers has been deliberately crossing the line to press their point that California law guarantees coastal and beach access. Also set for May 15 at the beach off Coast Boulevard is a beach cleanup from 10 a.m. to noon sponsored by the San Diego Council of Divers, Children’s Pool Friends and the San Diego Adopt A beach program. Beach cleaning tools and supplies, snacks and water will be provided to volunteers. Those wishing to participate can e-mail info@sddivers.comor visit www.sddivers.com or www.friendsofthechildrenspool.com. To comment on this story go to www.lajollalight.com.

Keep an eye out for turtles at the Shores research and conservation projects worldwide, connect with old friends and talk a lot about turtles! Although it’s not too widely known, we have sea turtles here in San Diego. Southern California represents the northernmost limit for resident East Pacific green turtles, a subpopulation of the pan-tropical green turtle. These hard-shelled airbreathing reptiles, named for their green body fat, have beautiful carapaces (shells), especially when they are younger. They generally eat aquatic vegetation like eelgrass but may consume invertebrates as well. One population lives in south San Diego Bay near the now-decommissioned South Bay Power Plant in Chula Vista. This annual grouping of about 40 to 90 turtles spends time in the bay foraging on eelgrass and invertebrates, and lounging about — especially during the winter when the water in the bay is warmer than the ocean. Sea turtles make long-distance migrations from nesting beaches to foraging

In the spring, some of the adults head for nesting grounds in Michoacan and the Revillagigedo Islands in Mexico, returning in the fall. Turtles are also often spotted in the La Jolla Ecological Reserve by swimmers and kayakers. I’ve overheard the long-distance swimmers report seeing them along their swim route from La Jolla Shores to the Cove.

have enough time to get to know the students. And just as these pre-teens are uprooted from their familiar school environment at a time when they most need to stay connected to familiar adults and surroundings, a single primary teacher or adult in the system to whom they can approach for help has been removed. Making matters worse is that parents begin to withdraw from direct involvement in their children’s schooling. A scattering of San Diego schools, however, incorporates the K-8 model. As an example, a K-8 program has been in use for decades in the Rancho Santa Fe School District. All on one campus, RSF serves 800 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Before 1968, the school was a K-6. But in 1968, the community approved construction bonds and authorized the return of seventhand eighth-grade students from Earl Warren Middle School (then called a junior high school) in Solana Beach. The school expansion was complete in 1971, when the district officially became a K-8. Former RSF school superintendent R. Roger Rowe,
who came to the school district in 1958 and retired in 2001, said the decision to pull the community’s seventh- and eighth-grade students back from SDUHSD’s Earl Warren was mostly for financial reasons. “We had 25 percent at that time of the assessed valuation of the San Dieguito Union High School District, but we had 5 percent of the youngsters,” said Rowe, adding that many RSF students were attending private schools for seventh and eighth grades instead of Earl Warren. “So we looked around and thought, gosh, we don’t have many people over there,” he said. “And yet we’re paying a lot to educate them.” He brought his case to the community, “and the community voted big-time for the youngsters to come back.” Rowe bases his belief that a K-8 is better for kids on personal observations. He agrees with those who say children this age should remain with a primary classroom teacher for most of their day. Going from teacher to teacher during the day “is not always a beneficial thing,” he said. He said having K-8 students intermingle during the day “was a real plus,” be-
ing a small community “didn’t hurt,” and having grades 7 and 8 in town saved families from driving long distances to either Earl Warren or private schools. “It worked out quite well for us,” Rowe said. ■ Role models for younger students Current RSF superintendent Lindy Delaney said, “The K-8 setting … tends to enable the seventh- and eighth-graders to stay a little bit younger in some ways.” She said the middle school students are asked to be role models for younger children, which “helps them realize that they have a bigger place in the world and in our school community.” Delaney said she often hears demand for a K-8 from incoming parents. “When people come and look at this school, they want a K-8,” she said. “They are seeking that out, because I think they realize that it is more of a comprehensive education without disruption.” When students enter RSF’s middle school grades, teachers already know them and “they’re part of the school community,” she said. Delaney, who began at Rancho Santa Fe as a middle
school teacher 26 years ago, said the school is not immune to bullying. “But because we have a tighter knit community, we might hear about more of it and be asked to intervene [earlier],” she said. “Whenever we get word, we address it and we deal with it severely. We want students to realize that they’re part of a community and that’s not how we treat our community.” Both Delaney and Rowe said they believe students feel more connected in a K-8 campus, which they say provides numerous advantages over a middle school facility that’s removed from a K-5 or a K-6 setting. “We have what I think is an ideal community feeling within our school,” Delaney said. Juvonen’s work, as well as observations over decades from Rancho Santa Fe and other K-8 schools, offers convincing evidence that a K-8 model can provide developmental support for adolescents at exactly the time in their lives when they need it most. And that supportive environment translates into higher self-esteem, stronger academic performance and kinder young citizens. Marsha Sutton can be reached at: SuttComm@san.rr.com.

The Right Price for Luxury Establishing the correct price for your home when you first put it on the market has even greater importance if you are selling a million dollar plus property. Buyers who are shopping in higher end markets are likely to be well educated in real estate protocol and well aware of how other properties are priced. They are usually not first time buyers and are experienced in buying homes. If a luxury home is overpriced by a quarter of a million dollars or more, a qualified buyer will probably look elsewhere, or wait for you to drop your price. What features can legitimately push the listing price to the top of its range? Generous square footage in the house and on the lot, a fantastic view, recent updates like a new kitchen, baths, sky lights, dual paned windows, energy efficient appliances and draught resistant landscaping can all add up to a winning listing. The amenities must be equal to or greater than those of neighboring homes in the same price category. Trust your real estate agent to help you set the right price.

New Northern Division captain ready for challenge By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Twenty-three year police veteran Albert Guaderrama, the new captain of San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division, is undaunted by the challenge of enforcing the law within a 41-square mile area of nearly 220,000 inhabitants serving a dozen neighborhoods. “My mission, every captain’s mission, is to keep crime down,” said Guaderrama noting Northern is a division with high morale “completely committed to making people’s lives better and their communities a better place to live.” The sprawling Northern Division includes La Jolla, La Jolla Village, Bay Ho, Bay Park, Clairemont Mesa East, Clairemont Mesa West, Mission Bay Park, Mission Beach, North Clairemont, Pacific Beach, Torrey Pines and University City. Serving under Guaderrama is a division staff of 145 officers including detectives, with a coastal contingent that patrols beach areas swelling with visitors during the summer tourist season. “I would say it’s double in terms of the number of people actually visiting our beaches (in summer),” said Guaderrama, adding police seasonally beef up beach staff, especially during busy Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day holiday week-

ends. “We actually bring in additional beach teams, train them on bikes, make them very visible with 7-day coverage at night as well as daytime,” he said. A native San Diegan, Guaderrama has served in numerous capacities and in far-flung locales from San Ysidro on the Mexican border to downtown San Diego during his long tenure on the police force. He patrolled both Central Division and Gaslamp sections of downtown San Diego, noting both are “very busy like beach areas.” Northern Division’s captain also spent some time in neighborhood policing and crime prevention, as well as doing stints in internal affairs, economic crimes, the narcotics division and backgrounds and recruiting.
Working side by side with local communities is a high priority for him. “We work with people to make their homes and neighborhoods safer focusing on quality of life issues,” Guaderrama said, adding, “People want to be able to feel secure in their homes and enjoy the neighborhoods they live in.” The best way for people to network, said Guaderrama, is to show up at community forums and become active in their neighborhoods. Regarding the growing number of squabbles at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool between pro-seal and pro-beach access proponents, Guaderrama said: “We’re out to preserve the peace and make sure no criminal activity takes place. When we’re called we’ll make sure both sides are separated and that everyone is getting along. If criminal activity has actually taken place, then we’ll go ahead and take action.” Asked what message he’d like to get out to the public, Guaderrama said, “We’d be happy to walk people through setting up a neighborhood watch program,” adding, “We always suggest people do target-hardening in neighborhoods: Keep their doors and windows closed, lock their cars and don’t keep things of value in plain view so burglars or criminals want to go somewhere else. Make yourself a hard target so that you don’t become a victim.”
Students from the Torrey Pines elementary UcSD afterschool program take part in the ‘Paper cranes for Japan’ fundraiser. CoUrteSy
Torrey Pines Elementary - UCSD afterschool program participants fold cranes for Japan fundraiser By virGinia GorDon UCSD Torrey Pines Elementary School students in the Wednesday UCSD Afterschool Program recently made origami cranes to raise money for the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. The crane project was in conjunction with the Students Rebuild “Paper Cranes for Japan,” which will donate $2 for every completed crane. Miki Kihara, a visiting scholar from Japan, described the devastation and the problems faced by survivors, including some of her relatives. Six-year-old Adrian (referring to the tsunami) asked Miki, “Was your family hurt by the … the salami?” Fourth-grader Luis, wanted
to make 2000 cranes. Together, the children and their UCSD buddies folded 106 paper cranes, raising $212. The Torrey Pines-UCSD program provides enriching activities and tutoring assistance for children who are bused to the school from low-income communities under San Diego Unified School District’s Voluntary Ethnic Enrollment Program (VEEP). Funded by the state, the Torrey Pines-UCSD afterschool program creates pathways to higher education for children whose parents do not have a college education. UCSD students participating in the joint Torrey Pines program are fulfilling a service-learning requirement for graduation.

Nanofibers sense toxic fumes sorb toxins. This could lead to new sensors that provide accurate readings of how much toxic material a respirator’s filter has absorbed. The research is described in the journal Advanced Materials. News release at http://bit.ly/lmHtrm.
Research Report By Lynne Friedmann
First responders protect themselves from toxic fumes by breathing through respirators equipped with activated charcoal filters. As filters become saturated, however, toxic chemicals pass through eventually rendering the protection useless. Currently there is no easy way to determine when a filter is spent. A team of researchers from UCSD and Tyco Electronics in Menlo Park has developed carbon nanostructures with the same chemical properties as activated charcoal to absorb organic pollutants. The difference is the nanofibers — arranged into iridescent photonic crystals — reflect specific light wavelengths, changing color as they ab-
■ Fighting multiple sclerosis Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have developed the first of a new class of compounds that suppresses the severity of multiple sclerosis in animal models. Researchers focused on a pair of “orphan nuclear receptors” (receptors with no known natural binding partner) involved in both autoimmune and metabolic diseases. These receptors play a role in the development of TH17 cells, a newly discovered subset of T helper cells. TH17 cells have been implicated in numerous autoimmune diseases, including MS. The study compound selectively targets Th17 cells; eliminating the cell signals and effectively eliminating
MS in animal models. Because the new compound blocks only the actions of a specific cell type, it avoids many of the side effects of current therapies that suppress a patient’s entire immune system, leaving patients vulnerable to infection and other complications. The study appears in the journal Nature. News release at http://bit.ly/iReKbq. ■ Slowing vision loss Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes cells in the macula — the part of the eye that allows us to see in fine detail — to die and is a leading cause of vision loss in Americans age 60 and older. Now, a phase 2 clinical trial for the treatment of a severe form of AMD has become the first study to show the benefit of a therapy to slow the progression of vision loss for this disease. The multi-center research team, including the USD Shiley Eye Center, found that long-term delivery of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) — a protein that ef-
fects cellular function and serves as a “neuroprotective” agent that stops cell death or can rescue photoreceptors on their way to dying — renourished the retina and stopped or slowed the loss of visual acuity. Delivery was via encapsulated cell therapy (ECT) — implanted in the back of the study subject’s eye — containing genetically engineered cells to continuously produce CNTF over a 12-month period. The results appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS). News release at http://bit.ly/kxfV7H. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

The Sally Ride Science Festival on May 14 at UCSD will give fifth- to eighth-grade girls a chance to explore a variety of science, technology and math fields and to meet inspiring scientists. Registration is now open. The lineup includes workshops, guest speakers, and a street fair with food, booths and music. A highlight of the day will be the keynote presentation by former NASA astronaut Wendy Lawrence. Others on hand will include Sally Ride, Laurie Leshin, and Ellen Ochoa. “We know that girls are encouraged to pursue science when they are free to investigate and discover through hands-on activities that are meaningful and relevant to their lives,” Dr. Sallly Ride, CEO OF Sally Ride Science, said in a press release. “These festivals allow girls to explore their innate curiosity while giving parents and teachers tips on how to further support that interest.” Presented by the Northrop Grumman Foundation, the festival runs from 11 a.m. until 4:15 p.m. and, with the exception of workshops, will be held outdoors. The event is open to the public and advanced registration is required. Tickets cost $20 and can be purchased online at www.sallyridescience.com or by calling (800) 561-5161.

LJ Rotary Day at Work focuses on restoration projects
O
n Saturday at the La Jolla Rec Center, it was an intense day of sanding and painting for members of the La Jolla Rotary and the La Jolla High Interact Club who spent the annual Rotary Day at Work rehabilitating benches, tables and plaques. The club gave special thanks to Larry Schurnow of Dewhurst and Associates who provided the expert hands-on direction. The benches have been taken to the high school for refinishing. “The plaques on the center’s wall came alive with much polishing liquid, rags, wire brushing and elbow grease, wrote president-elect Ron Jones. “You can actually read them now.”

embers of La Jolla Sunrise Rotary spent their Day at Work on Saturday at the San Pasqual Academy, a residential high school for foster teens in Escondido.They joined Coronado, Rancho Santa Fe and Escondido Rotaries in planting an entire watermelon patch for the school, as well as hundreds of tomato plants, and weeded and fertilized trees and strawberry plants. When the planting was done, six San Pasqual students fed the hungry group with fried chicken and barbecued ribs. “For the first three years, we fixed houses around the perimeter of the school,” said Lauren Pickard, a member of La Jolla Sunrise Rotary and coordinator of the annual event. “We painted houses inside and out, furnished a home, renovated a bathroom and landscaped. Beginning in 2008, we turned our attention to San Pasqual’s vast fruit and vegetable garden.”

They also represent a positive arm bridging community needs and addressing citizens’ concerns without taking up valuable and limited police resources.” Duties include patrolling local neighborhoods, assisting at crime scenes and supporting crime prevention and homeland security efforts. In addition, RSVP volunteers visit elderly residents to check on their safety as part of the YANA (You Are Not Alone) program. Flexible schedules are available. Volunteers must be at least 50 years of age, retired, and have a valid driver’s license. For information, contact call (858) 552-1737 or e-mail sdpdnorthern@pd.sandiego.gov.
BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com The body of an unidentified man believed to be in his 50s was found washed up in a cave along the La Jolla coastline Monday afternoon. “At 4:30 p.m. two snorkelers reported to lifeguards what they observed to be a dead body on the rocks inside one of the La Jolla caves,” said San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Andy Lerum. “Lifeguards responded and confirmed that the body was deceased and contacted the police department and the Medical Examiner’s Office, who turned out to document the scene and extricate the
body, which had been transported to the La Jolla Shores boat launch.” A report issued by the Medical Examiner identified the place of death as 1200 Coast Blvd. west of Prospect Place in La Jolla. The decedent was described as an unidentified Caucasian male. Death was confirmed without medical interventions due to skin color changes, the report states. Police are investigating the matter and attempting to identity the victim through fingerprints. San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesman Maurice Luque said Tuesday evidence found on the victim’s body suggested

FROM POTHOLES, A1 With a wry smile, he added, a little later a police officer came by and said he had witnessed the incident, chased the car down and “he had to pay a big fine.” As Castillo and Hasan Yousef surveyed the row of small potholes that the crew was preparing to fill — one of a number of spots being repaired on at least nine La Jolla streets on April 28 and 29 as part of a pothole event organized by Lightner — they spotted several other problem areas. By the end of the week, the crew had patched 147 potholes, Castillo reported. Hassan immediately wrote himself notes about a bulging curb that indicated a tree-root problem that would likely push into the street and the other a pothole around a manhole cover. On the latter, they had the crew make a temporary fix and planned to call in the water department for a more permanent repair. Hassan said the push in La Jolla is a way to get a handle on a long list of complaints in a short amount of time. Normally, they aim for a seven-day turnaround. “If it’s a hazard that’s popping tires or bending rims,

we’ll dispatch by radio and fix it immediately,” he added. This past year, the city spent more money than ever on potholes, even issuing bonds to address the problem. The amount tops $54 million, and, if the city were to repair all the streets that need work today, he added, it would cost $377 million. After watching the crew spray a tacky emulsifier on the street, cover it with asphalt, roll and compact the new surface, and sprinkle it with sand, Lightner reiterated her call for people to report potholes when they see them. “They’ll get fixed sooner and people will get the gratification of seeing them fixed,” she said, adding that if needed she’ll schedule another “pothole event.” “This was a grand slam!”

“It’s difficult to grasp what’s going on and why it’s important,” LaCava said in a recent interview. Adding the ninth district, he said, “throws everything up in the air. In the past it was just a matter of tweaking the boundaries of the eight districts.” At present, La Jolla’s representation is split between Sherri Lightner’s Council District 1 and Kevin Faulconer’s District 2. Lightner’s ranges over the northwest part of the city, including areas around Torrey Pines, Carmel Valley and Rancho Penasquitos; Faulconer’s, to the south of La Jolla as far as Point Loma and Downtown. First and foremost, LaCava said, La Jolla needs to be brought into one district. Currently, District 1 has a population of about 199,000; with the new boundaries it should have about 144,000. The district is the largest of the eight with more than 33,000 more residents than the next closest in size — Carl DeMaio’s District 5. LaCava — and others — believe picking up the rest of La Jolla and dropping Rancho Penasquitos into a new ninth district is the best solution. The idea has taken the form of a proposal being called the “Coast and Canyons Plan” that has the endorsement of several North City organizations affected by the changes. LaCava became motivated after attending the first meeting of the appointed, seven-member Redistricting Commission that was for Council Districts 4 and 8 in the city’s southern reaches. Before the meeting, he said, he heard that the Asian-Pacific American Coalition wanted a new district that would bring together the Asian populations in Mira Mesa (District 5) and Rancho Penasquitos (District 1). Their initial plan sliced Carmel Valley and Pacific Highlands Ranch out of District 1 and into District 5 with Rancho Bernardo and other communities to the east. That discussion had already motivated members of the Rancho Penasquitos Town Council and the Rancho Penasquitos Planning Group to say “we want to align with

FROM REDISTRICT, A12 communities that share our common interest,” LaCava said. They reacted by proposing that they join a North City district that overlaps with the boundaries of the Poway Unified School District — currently represented by DeMaio -—and that the other coastal/canyon areas to the west remain in District 1 along with the southern part of La Jolla. One of the charges of the Redistricting Commission — which has come under some fire for not being fairly balanced — is to “preserve the identifiable communities of interest.” That, say those backing the North City proposal, is obvious in that the school district covers Rancho Penasquitos, Rancho Bernardo, Sabre Springs, Torrey Highlands and the Black Mountain Ranch/Del Sur/ Santa Luz area. It also overlaps parts of the Palomar Pomerado Health District.

Pines Community Planning Board joined the push for the coastal/canyon plan. In a letter to the commission, they voted that “two simple modifications to the current boundaries of Council District 1 will achieve the 2010 redistricting population target while meeting and exceeding the requirements of the City Charter ...” They also suggested that the Carmel Valley Planning Board be given oversight for the San Dieguito Valley subarea as well as the Via de la Valle and Fairbanks Rancho specific plan areas. Their letter cited similar rationale to the Rancho Penasquitos group: natural boundaries, communities of interest, contiguous territories, geographically compact as well as

“reasonable access between population centers.” And last week, the Carmel Valley Planning Group voted to back LaCava’s Coast and Canyon Plan, with Chair Frisco White saying it was important for the board to support a plan or risk being left in the dust without a say.
The La Jolla Historical Society has endorsed it as well, and the Bird Rock Community Council was set to consider it on May 3. It’s also on the agenda for endorsement tonight at the La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, May 11 by the La Jolla Village Merchants Association and La Jolla Shores Association as well as the University City, Torrey Hills and Del Mar Mesa planning group meetings in the next couple of weeks. LaCava, who wants people to pay attention to what could be considered a dull and bureaucratic matter, said he believes “the challenge at the end of the day all depends on who your council member is. It all depends on getting someone who represents your interest.”

NeuroVigil completes significant initial financing round Light Staff NeuroVigil, a La Jolla-based company founded by Philip Low, closed its initial round of financing over the weekend, which the company said in a press release has a “pre-investment valuation reportedly over twice the combined seed valuations of Google and Facebook’s first rounds, and for less than 2 percent of the company’s stock.” The company said only Philip that “the round was led by Low an anonymous American industrialist and technology visionary, with participants distributed across both the U.S. West and East Coasts.” In the release, Low, who is the company’s chairman and CEO, said, the company is pushing “forward on (a) challenging, signifi-
cant and audacious journey.” The company’s vision, he states, “is that one day people will have access to their brain as routinely and as easily as they currently have to their blood pressure. We are contributing to that effort by building an innovative technology platform at the confluence of artificial intelligence and wireless engineering, and putting it out in the world. The Internet journal medGadget, which calls the company’s technology “the first substantial breakthrough in really understanding the information within brainwaves,” reported Monday they have a source who indicated the investor is either “Bill Gates, Sergey Brin (he does have a gene associated with Parkinson’s), Qualcomm’s Paul Jacobs, Larry Ellison, or perhaps even Steve Jobs.” Low, who founded the company when he was a graduate student at The Salk Institute,

FROM INGA, A1 Heck, there weren’t that many people (less than a tenth of what there are now.) And you could probably even park in downtown La Jolla since there weren’t that many cars either. But the times I took my now30-something kids to the Children’s Pool, I had to schlep a twoyear-old and a four-year-old and all their beach stuff a number of blocks from my parking place across traffic then navigate down three slippery sets of steps to the beach. The teeny weenie beach. The beach that had about 50 feet of waterfront and if I recall, a rather nasty drop off. This wasn’t exactly the beach of this toddler parent’s dreams. As a nice enclosed space where it was fun to wade, it was good. But if the kids actually wanted to get wet, I found La Jolla Shores or Pacific Beach at low tide preferable and a lot more accessible. Now, of course, the entire infrastructure of the Children’s Pool is disintegrating. Even the bathrooms have succumbed to decay, replaced by five totally rank viewbusting Porta Potties (aka The Restrooms of Last Resort) on the street level three flights up. But during its heyday, the Children’s Pool enjoyed a definite success. People in my age group who grew up here would attest to many
The walls and the stairs are disintegrating. happy memories there. Probably not coincidentally, a number of such acquaintances are among the most vocal members of the Nuke The Seals (as one insists she’d happily do) faction. But in my observation, over the last three decades, the Children’s Pool has been pretty much abandoned. If Ellen had had a crystal ball along with her desire to promote water safety, she would have left a second bequest to the Murray Callan Swim School. It was there, the Y, the Back Yard Swim program, the Beach and Tennis Club, the family pool or a host of
other swimming locations, that kids in the last 30 or so years have been hanging out. As for the shared-use proposal, however appealing the concept is, I’m not seeing tiny kids, tiny beach, wild animals, and coliform bacteria as a winning combination. I don’t remember precisely when our controversial Pinnipeds first moved from the adjoining rocks to the sand but I am fairly certain that the seals didn’t stage a Normandystyle invasion against a beachlet of terrified tots. The beach was pretty much there for the taking. So what’s going on here?

For some, is this a case of nostalgia run amok? For others, I have no clue. Hate marine mammals if you will, but deliberately crossing the rope barrier to torment baby seals in the name of “children” has a logic that I don’t get. Assuming the seals are driven from the beach in Ellen’s honor by continued marine mammal mayhem, is this suddenly going to become a Shangri-La full of frolicking kids again? Maybe, but not likely. It will still be a massively decaying structure with impossible parking and a residual seal poop problem akin to Chernobyl.
There is now a security guard at the Children’s Pool to mediate warfare between the Seal Sadists and the pro-animal Sealots. The adults in our otherwise-wonderful internationally-renowned community have been polarized by a legal and verbal fight to the death over the exclusive rights of use of a tiny beach that the exclusees abandoned years ago. The kids, meanwhile, are adoring the seals. Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in The La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Turn to artificial turf for appearance Whether you’re a golfer wanting to put in a putting green for practice, or an ecominded homeowner seeking to cut down on lawn water usage, Get a Putting Green has the artificial surface for you. The La Jolla Shores-based company will gladly visit your residence to answer questions surrounding artificial grass for yards. “Artificial turf is very realistic these days: It’s come a long way,” said company owner Edward Sides. “It’s aesthetically pleasing and a great, long-term investment that lasts up to 10 years or longer for anyone that wants to improve their house. People often look at it and take a double-take, not even realizing it is synthetic.” Synthetic turf has obvious appeal for golfers, but is equally valuable in creating more attractive, livable, useable, lowmaintenance outdoor space at a reasonable cost. The charge for synthetic turf
is typically $10 to $12 a square foot, depending on the type of material used. “We’re more than happy to go out and give an estimate after we’ve looked at what they have,” said Sides. Sides, who has always been interested in landscaping, said he got into the artificial turf business after realizing, “We all have to do our part to contribute to more eco-thinking. New at playing golf I figured, ‘What better way to get involved?’ ” Besides realistic appearance and durability, Sides said artificial turf offers benefits other than not having to water it. “It saves on maintenance and gives them a place to have fun and use their backyard,” he said. “You also don’t have to have people come over and mow it using gasoline and making noise. It’s the future.” For more information e-mail ed@getaputtinggreen.com, visit www.getaputtinggreen.com get a Putting green can install artificial turf or call (858) 210-2680. for a yard or play surface.

Back that computer up By Mark Daughters Interlaced Inc. Computers are amazing. Think of how much stuff is in your computer right now. Thousands of pictures, music tracks, videos, contacts, calendars, documents, spreadsheets, e-mails, and probably, a lot more. To store that in the physical world would fill a ton of photo albums, rolodexes, CD/ DVD shelves, and file cabinets. A lot of my clients have a hard time letting go of those physical hard copies. They take comfort that they can actually feel and know that their memories are safe, just by seeing that the file cabinet or photo album is there. And they have a point. Without the proper steps, your data can randomly disappear in the blink of an eye. Your computer contains a small part called the hard drive. … Since this is a mechanical part, at some point it will fail. Let me restate that. Every hard drive, ever built, in any device, Mac, PC, desktop, laptop, iPod, will fail. …When this happens (not if), all the data on the drive
will be inaccessible. You can stop this data Armageddon from happening, and it is quite easy. All you need is a copy of your data in another place. With every Mac sold today, Time Machine is included. … All it requires is an external hard drive. (Around $100.) Once it is set up, your Mac will backup every hour. There are other options as well. You can get a wireless version of the external drive so you don’t need to keep your computer plugged into the backup at all times. There are backup utilities that work for PCs or older Macs, as well as off-site backup solutions … Back it up. Do I fear for my data with this lifestyle? No, because Iʼve taken steps to prepare for the inevitable. You should too. To read a complete version of this column, go to www.lajollalight.com.

La Jolla company links with EvoNexus EvoNexus, a business incubator of CommNexus, recently entered an agreement to support NewBlue, another La Jolla company, on expanding market availability of Vibop, its patent pending, cloud-based technology for video editing, refining and social sharing across mobile devices and smartphones, according to a press release. La Jolla-based CommNexus is a nonprofit, high-tech organization created to help stimulate the growth of new San Diego companies.
It provides office space, mentoring and expertise as well as connections to other businesses and venture capital companies. An easy-to-use mobile video editing technology, Vibop allows users to share their experiences through instant distribution of video snippets from their mobile phones — with their own personal “brand” and creative style. They can then post on their favorite social networks. Over time, Vibop users are able to create a moment-by-
moment video picture of their world more simply than they could using current video editing option. Vibop is based on NewBlue’s extensive and proprietary library of NewBlueFX video filters. Melissa Jordan Grey, cofounder and chief creative officer, and Todor Fay, cofounder and chief technology officer, are both La Jolla residents. Last year, they dedicated more than 300 hours on a pro bono music and video production for a La Jolla elementary school.

La Jolla should own a piece of redistrict puzzle Our View On the front page of this edition and elsewhere on this page you can read about the current effort to realign our City Council districts. Normally it’s just a matter of redrawing some lines to adjust for population shifts, which in itself isn’t even an easy task. This year, it’s more challenging because San Diegans voted last year to create a ninth district. While it seems like an exercise in democracy that we can’t influence, that’s not true. Tonight and next Wednesday you have two opportunities to learn and be heard. As the appointed Redistricting Commission takes on this task that one might want to leave up to an
emotionless computer, charges are flying that the group is biased/has an agenda/has already made up its mind. We’re not going to jump on that bandwagon. But we are ready to chime in with the call to bring La Jolla together in Council District 1 and create a district that makes sense, not just because it would unite our community, but because in the bigger picture we share mutual interests with others in the proposed Coast and Canyons district. And that is supposedly what creating a new council district is all about. The City Charter states: “To the extent it is practical to do so, districts shall: preserve identifiable communities of interest; be geographically compact — populous contiguous ter-
ritory shall not be bypassed to reach distant populous areas; be composed of whole census units as developed by the United States Bureau of the Census; be composed of contiguous territory with reasonable access between population centers in the district, and not be drawn for the purpose of advantaging or protecting incumbents.” Joe LaCava, who sailed a fairly steady ship during his time as president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association, has taken the lead in trying to get residents to pay attention to this process. And he’s investing a whole lot of his own time to see that other planning groups are informed and buying into the plan. The proposals being bandied about
are numerous. We’re not saying others are bad; just that the District 1 Coast and Canyons proposal will put all of La Jolla under one council person’s watch as well as align us with other communities with similar geographic and social interests. It is also a good complement to the North City proposal, which would create the new district in the inland areas, overlapping the Poway school district. Now that you know probably more than you want, it’s time for you to be heard. Go to tonight’s Town Council meeting to learn more and then at 6 p.m. on May 11, be there when the Redistrict Commission comes to the La Jolla Women’s Club to hear what District 1 residents want — before new maps are drafted.
redistricting commission seeks public comment
redistricting plans have meaning in La Jolla
COmmunity Leader’s View
COmmunity View
Midori Wong Chief of Staff of the Redistricting Commission With the 2010 U.S. Census complete, the City of San Diego has begun the process to create City Council Districts as equal in population as “possible and practicable” — meaning, according to the data, representing about 144, 624 San Diegans. This year, the once-per-decade process is more complex because last year San Diego voters approved a ninth City Council District, the first since the 1960s. The mission to redraw the new city council district boundaries lies in the hands of the 2010 Redistricting Commission — seven resident members appointed by an appointing authority of retired Superior Court judges, selected at random. In addition to adopting a plan that creates boundaries for districts nearly equal in population, the City Charter
also lists a number of other legal criteria regarding the size and shape of districts. The charter also requires the commission to preserve “communities of interest” identified by both Census data and public testimony. Ultimately, the way districts are drawn will affect voters’ ability to elect city council members of their choice. The commission is hosting 20 public hearings to gather information from San Diegans. Because residents are the eyes and ears of the community their testimony is critical to assist in identifying and preserving “communities of interest” — places where, for example, common activities and social and lifestyle patterns are shared within an area. Because of deadlines associated with preparing for the 2012 primary election, the Redistricting Commission’s deadline to complete the new plan is August 2011. The current round of hearings takes place prior to

By now you have heard about the City’s 2010 Redistricting Commission. Its task is to reevaluate the city council districts in light of the 2010 census and to include an additional council district (the ninth). Council District 1 was the fastest growing in the city and is now significantly in excess of the 2010 target for each district (199,000 versus 144,000). Changes to the current CD1 will be significant and the commission is asking us to weigh with our thoughts for the new CD1. Other groups in the city are proposing their own vision for redistricting the city. We recognize their good efforts; however, we don’t want our portion of the city to be backed into a new dis-
trict cobbled together with the leftovers from other proposals! Some of your community leaders have developed a template for the new CD1 that we call the “Coast & Canyons Plan.” A growing number of community organizations are endorsing it. The new CD1 would include the communities of Carmel Valley, Del Mar Mesa, Fairbanks Country Club, Flower Hill, La Jolla, Pacific Highlands Ranch, Torrey Pines, Torrey Hills, and University City. This is essentially the old CD1 except that Rancho Penasquitos, Black Mountain Ranch, and Torrey Highlands would shift to an inland district. The proposal also returns portions of University City and La Jolla to CD1. There are compelling reasons why this proposal is as good for the current constituents of CD1 as well

community needs to protect our local recreation center COmmunity Leader’s View Joe PArker President, Bird Rock Community Council In January, I wrote that the future of the La Jolla Recreation Center is in serious jeopardy. I write again on the same topic to raise the community’s awareness about significant
challenges we face in the upcoming months and to highlight the importance of preserving this treasured jewel. Impending budget cuts threaten the sustainability of the Rec Center and its many programs. As it currently stands, the Rec Center would only operate under limited hours if it were not for the ability for private donors
to “buy hours” to maintain its current schedule. These privately purchased hours include keeping the facility open so that community groups can hold public meetings and invite your input on important issues. Many of these meetings must adjourn before completion of the agenda because staff has to leave and close the building. Rest assured, as budget cuts continue, so will the availability to hold these meetings at this location.
La Jolla has only one public recreation center and it is regularly used by people from all of La Jolla. In addition, local organizations such as Community Planning Association (“CPA”) and its related committees such as Traffic & Transportation (“T&T”) and Planned District Ordinance (“PDO”) hold their public meetings there. These organizations

Salk announces promotions The Salk Institute recently announced some key promotions: Leanne Jones and Satchidananda Panda have been promoted to associate rofessor and E.J. Chichilnisky, Andrew Dillin, Martin Hetzer, and Jan Karlseder to full professor “Faculty are the intellectual capital of the Salk Institute and these young scientists have proven their extraordinary talent and creativity,” said Salk President William R. Brody. “They are the heavy hitters among their peers, and their research efforts and dedication will have a profound impact on human health through scientific discovery and creative research. That’s what really matters.” n Chichilnisky, a member of the Systems Neurobiology Laboratory, is working on deciphering how the retina, the tissue lining the back of the eye, encodes visual information so the brain can use it to produce visual experience. n Dillin, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and Director of the Glenn Center for Aging, uses the tiny roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans to study the genetic and molecular pathways that regulate aging and aging-related diseases.
n Hetzer, who like Dillin and Karlseder is a member of the Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory, is interested in how the organization of the nucleus influences gene activity and how disruption of its three-dimensional architecture can cause developmental defects, cancer and aging. n Jones, a member of the Laboratory of Genetics, uses the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to establish paradigms for how stem cell behavior is controlled and how the relationship between stem cells and their environment changes during development, aging, and tumorigenesis. n Karlseder studies how cells keep tabs on their telomeres — the protective ends of chromosomes — and prevent catastrophic meltdowns to gain a better understanding of the interrelationship of aging and cancer. n Panda tries to understand how our brain clock keeps track of time in all seasons and time zones and tells our body when to sleep, when to wake up, and when to eat. His work focuses mostly on melanopsin, a photopigment he had discovered before he joined the Salk Institute.

From PArker, A18 have made some pretty heavy decisions affecting the people of La Jolla — it would be a shame if this public process was given short-shrift by a further reduction of the facility’s hours. The Rec Center also sponsors some great events. For example, the annual Spring Egg Hunt is a time-honored tradition we look forward to every year. The egg hunt is an entirely free event sponsored solely for the delight of children, their parents and relatives. Where else can you go for that kind of free and memorable entertainment in such a beautiful setting? That kind of community interaction is priceless. Now, the bad news. The two-year plan to fix San Diego’s troubled finances includes cuts that will leave recreation centers closed on most days. As reported by the Light last week, beginning Sept. 6, “Under the current proposal, branch libraries would be open two days a week and the equivalent

of 77 full-time positions would be cut, saving $7.4 million. Park and Rec would take an equivalent hit, with hours of rec centers pared from 40 to 20, losing the same staff as libraries for $6.5 million in savings.” I’m still in shock over that news. This is a disaster. I’m asking folks to find a way to continue funding of the Rec Center (whether private or public) so that we can address the impending cuts. I’m also calling on all of the local groups in La Jolla to join this cause. One idea is for the BRCC to coordinate fundraising activity with other local groups in La Jolla so that we can jointly share the responsibility of saving this important resource. By banding together, we can empower a La Jolla-wide effort that everyone can be proud of. Dianne Brittingham is the Director of the Rec Center.

LJYB teams up with Positive Coaching Alliance La Jolla Youth Baseball’s Board of Directors unanimously approved and recently signed a partnership agreement with the Positive Coaching Alliance that will provide every manager and coach with the opportunity to receive PCA’s “Double Goal Coach” certification through their online training program in 2011 and interactive workshops plus on-line training in 2012. The Positive Coaching Alliance (www.positivecoach.org) is a 501(c)3 non- profit organization formed at Stanford University in 1998 to transform the culture of youth sports to ensure that all youth athletes can have a positive, character-building experi-
ence. USA Water Polo, Little League Baseball and Pop Warner Football are good examples of youth sports organizations that have developed partnerships with PCA at a national level. LJYB is the first San Diego PONY league to introduce PCA’s “Double Goal Coach: Coaching for Winning and Life’s Lessons” training program. LJYB decided to embrace this program proactively at the recommendation of a number of parents who have experience with PCA in other youth sports, where it is a requirement to complete PCA certification in order to manage a team.

Local among surfers featured in new movie Local surfer Tiare Thompson is one of many surfers featured in the upcoming movie, Manufacturing Stoke. The film is an introspective look into the surfing culture’s struggle to be beneficial unto itself, a tapestry of both influential and eclectic members of the surfing community that are constantly striving for positive change. The story begins in the 1960s, the golden
era of surfing, a time of innocence and discovery. Surf culture erupted onto the collective consciousness and became the epitome of cool. Fast forward to Dec. 5, 2005, and the closing of Clark Foam for environmental reasons, the largest surf blanks manufacturer in the world. For more about the movie, go to www.manufacturingstoke.

Draft may keep La Jolla brothers from reuniting By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com Kyle and Bradley Zimmer started playing baseball together as far back as they can both remember. Next season, the two look forward to reuniting on the diamond at the University of San Francisco. But for Bradley, there may be one big reason why he doesn’t make good on his scholarship to play for the Dons. The Major League Baseball Draft is June 1 and Bradley has been targeted by many MLB teams to play professionally right out of high school. Last week, Bradley had 12 MLB scouts in town to watch him in a private session and he recently had the San Diego Padres’ scout at his house. “He’s got a lot of ability, he’s got good size,” said Gary Frank, now in his eighth season as the head coach at La Jolla High. “When you hear about the five-tool athletes, Bradley fits that bill. He’s got the arm strength, he’s got the speed, he can hit, he can hit for power and he play defense. He’s got everything they are looking for.” Bradley, who will graduate later this year, currently leads La Jolla High in just about every offensive statistic, including batting average (.452), RBI (26) and triples (5). Kyle, who graduated in 2009 from La Jolla High, is currently one of USF’s top pitchers. He leads the team in strikeouts for the West Coast Conference’s first-place team. After the college season, he will play in the prestigious Cap Cod League, a league that boasts some of America’s top college players and is a stepping stone to the minor leagues. He is also a draft prospect, but is not eligible for the draft until after the 2012 college
season. Once a college baseball player enters college, he can not be drafted until after his junior season. Kyle will be in town this weekend as the Dons play a three-game set with the University of San Diego and will pitch Saturday’s game against the Toreros. “It’s gonna be cool to pitch down there in front of some friends from hometown and my parents will be there so it’s going to be kinda nice,” said Kyle, who has four solid pitches in his arsenal, including a fastball that tops out at 94 mph. The two come from an athletic family as well. Their father, Eric, who is an anesthesiologist, was a baseball player at UCSD and their mother, Cathy, who is a counselor at La Jolla High, ran track at San Diego State. Both Zimmer boys value education, which for Bradley, is one reason why he wants to play in college. He knows that if not drafted high enough, it might not be worth it to him to miss out on his education. “I feel like I would be missing a chapter in my life,” Bradley said. “I have such a good offer there, my brother is there and I would love to play with him again.” The higher a player is drafted, the more money he can get with a contract and a signing bonus. Bradley is not sure where he will get drafted, but he thinks somewhere in the first 10 rounds. “I would be disappointed if we didn’t get to share the field like we did back in the day,” Kyle said, “but I want whatever is really best for him ‘cause I know he’s got the skills to take him as far as he can go. If somebody is going to offer life-changing money, I would definitely say go ahead and take it.”
Kyle Zimmer, a 2009 graduate of la Jolla high, pitched earlier this season for the University of San Francisco.
Bradley Zimmer, playing in a game earlier this season, has a scholarship to San Francisco, but could opt for the MlB Draft.

Jennifer Spengler runs hard to raise money for Leukemia Society Jennifer Spengler has lived in La Jolla since she was 8 years old. She is founder of PR in a Flash, and co-owner of studio m la jolla with her husband photographer Michael Spengler. The couple has three Jennifer daughters, Kyra, 12; Spengler Mila, 9; and Evie, 2. Spengler sits on committees at La Jolla Elementary School and The Bishop’s School, and is a member of National Charity League’s San Diego Chapter. Spengler is also a member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Endurance Sports Team in Training. She is working toward her second race and has raised more than $20,000 in the last two years toward cures for blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma, which took her father’s life. You can read more at http://pages.teamintraining.org/ sd/rnr11/jspengler. What brought you to La Jolla? My sister’s desire to escape the Midwest brought us to La Jolla when I was 8. We were living in Hinsdale, Illinois, when my sister Terrie was applying to the University of San Diego and the whole family accompanied her on her campus tour trip. We stayed at a hotel in La Jolla and my parents fell in love with this beautiful coastal community. So while my sister thought she was making a fast break to the West Coast on her own, her five siblings, parents, and the family dog all followed her! What makes this area special to you? La Jolla is my home. I have tried to leave a few times (a semester in London, a stint in Michael’s hometown of Munich after college, a year in Northern California for a job) but I always came right back. My mom and stepfather and sisters live here, several of my close friends from elementary school and high school live in the area, and this is where my daughters were born. I have so many great childhood memories of growing up in La Jolla and I hope my daughters will feel the same when they look back on their upbringing here.

ARTS Center gives San Diego kids a reason to survive … and succeed By Lonnie BurStein Hewitt n 2001, after a terrible year spent watching his mother succumb to cancer and almost losing his sister to the disease, Matt D’Arrigo founded ARTS, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children overcome life challenges by learning to express themselves through the arts. His own love of art and music sustained him through that year and the grieving that followed. So he set up the Pat D’Arrigo ARTS Center (named for his mother) to help others as he had helped himself. “Heal, InArtS Development Director spire and EmKathryn power” is the Stephens ARTS motto, and its 7,000-square-foot “creative space” at NTC Promenade includes a music room, media arts lab, painting and ceramic studio, performance space, and a gallery where student works are on display and for sale. ARTS’ primary targets are children facing chronic or terminal illness, abuse or neglect, physical and emotional disabilities, poverty and homelessness. Every year, ARTS enables more than 10,000 young people to “explore their creative soul and transform their lives” through a range of communi-

She soon became the “mama intern,” a mentor to other students and interns, and was just awarded a scholarship to the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where she plans to produce her own graphic novel. The new development director of ARTS is La Jolla’s Kathryn Stephens, who has
been active in Las Patronas for the past decade and was chair of its ARTRAGEOUS Jewel Ball in 2007. A former Eileen Ford model, Stephens taught art for several years at Bird Rock Elementary and more recently designed murals for the fifth graders’ annual mosaic projects. When she first came to ARTS, it was love at first sight.

By KirBy BrooKs Residents can stroll through some of the most exclusive gardens in town when the Historical Society presents its annual fundraiser “The Secret Garden Tour of Old La Jolla” on Saturday, May 14. This is the 13th year for the highly anticipated event. The garden locations remain a secret until the day of the tour, but according to organizers, this year’s guests will be able to wander through the extensive gardens of one of the most exclusive estates in La Jolla to study botanical grounds created with extravagant outdoor living and entertaining in mind. Guests will also be able to visit one of 10 original homes built in Bird Rock where strawberry fields previously reigned. Its naturalistic — not to mention edible — landscape is sure to be a highlight. “This year’s tour features such a wide variety of gardens that there is certain to be something to excite everyone,” said Devonna Hall,
2011 tour chairman. “Be sure not to miss this one-time opportunity to see one of the town’s most private and grand oceanfront estates.” Artists will be scattered throughout the gardens, painting the perennial event as it unfolds before their eyes. Designers will display creative table decorating projects to help guests get ideas for living out their own outdoor-entertainment fantasies. The experience will be further enhanced by a variety of accomplished musicians performing throughout the tour. Choose to experience the
gardens on a Self-Guided Tour or embark upon the luxurious Platinum Tour, which begins with brunch at Estancia La Hotel and Spa. The Platinum Tour boasts an additional exclusive Secret Garden, shuttle service including docents, and a commemorative gift. The La Jolla Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has been preserving La Jolla’s heritage and educating the public since 1963. “The Secret Garden Tour is an important part of the Society’s success,” said executive director John

Chedi Thai sets a traditional table with contemporary ‘twists’ By WILL PARSON y the way that Thawee Techathamnukool casually recounts how he made the switch from software engineer to restaurateur, you’d think the move was easier than the impressively laid-out reality suggests upon walking through the door of Chedi Thai Bistro. Thawee (who goes by Tom) and his wife, executive chef Sutharin Pia Kampuntip, decided to create a multi-faceted experience that drew on a rich tradition in a refreshing way. The experience begins with the décor. Custom-made replicas of towers known as Chedi — the restaurant’s namesake — make the centerpiece. Colorful lanterns hang near the windows. Clean lines blend with ornate elements, such as the statue of Buddha smiling from an alcove just past the full bar (an uncommon sight in a Thai restaurant). Sutharin, who is also a designer, made a deliberate effort to weave traditional Thai Buddhist culture

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Chedi’s Thai Crispy Calamari into an updated fabric. “She wants to present Thai culture in a contemporary way, a modern way,” said Tom. Accordingly, Chedi Thai presents a diverse array of culinary experiences. As Tom says, “We don’t want to just reuse the same (traditionally Thai) ingredients on too many dishes like most of the other places.” The result can be found in dishes like the New Zealand Rack of Lamb, which is stewed and served with a Massaman curry sauce. The Spicy Beef Salad
delivers slivers of Granny Smith apple and a hint of lime along with the Angus beef, for a clean and fresh taste. One of the current specials is the Siam Duck, which is also stewed, leaving it much more tender than your typical roasted duck. Tom also claims to be the first Thai restaurant to start serving Chilean Seabass, served with sautéed wild mushrooms. And, the popular Thai Crispy Calamari works well as both an appetizer and an entrée if you are so inclined. There is no happy hour, but a “prix-fixed” lunch menu at $9 is available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. And the traditional wok, curry or noodle dinner selections are unexpectedly affordable as well — especially considering the attention to detail present in the surroundings and extending through to the food presentation. Those traditional choices also do well to balance out the forwardthinking items on the menu, so you can still opt for something that is refreshingly familiar.

La Jolla High grads work to save Great Whites from extinction on television’s ‘Shark Men’ By Arthur LightBourn For the past two years, photographer Mark Frapwell has shot thousands of images of Great White sharks (in and out of the water) on scientific “catch, tag and release” expeditions to help collect data that will hopefully help save these threatened marine animals from extinction. The expeditions are being broadcast through Fischer Productions’ “Shark Men” TV series on the National Geographic Channel. The first season premiered April 10 and will continue on Sunday evenings through June 12. Frapwell, 44, is the expeditions’ still photographer, and his former La Jolla High School classmate, Brett McBride, 43, is the expeditions’ marine captain. Fischer Productions is an outdoor-oriented television content provider and six-time Emmy Award winner. McBride has been with the company for 14 years. He captained the vessel on “Offshore Adventures,” a televised sport-fishing program that ran on ESPN Outdoors for some 200 episodes. Frapwell has accompanied McBride and an 18-member crew of scientists, deck hands, and TV videographers on Great White expeditions to waters off Northern and Southern California, Mexico and Costa Rica where they have been gathering data on the breeding, feeding and migratory habits of the Great Whites. Sharks are particularly vulnerable to overfishing because they grow and mature slowly, and only have a small number of young. Of his up-close encounters with the Great White shark, Frapwell said, “It is the most exhilarating and exciting thing I have ever
Photographer Mark Frapwell (left) and Captain Brett McBride are graduates of La Jolla high school. Jon Clark done. It is so intense being in the water with a 4,000-pound Great White shark coming at me and no cage for protection.” Frapwell was born in Normal, Illinois, the youngest in a family of three brothers. The family moved to La Jolla when he was six months old. His father, who passed away two years ago, was a State Farm Insurance agent. “I’ve been taking photographs since I was about 10 years old,” Frapwell said from his studio in Carmel Valley. “My dad made a darkroom for us when we were little kids and we used to go out and play Army in the canyon and everybody would have their Red Ryder BB guns and I would have the camera [a Brownie]. And I’d take the pictures and go back to the darkroom and develop them.” When he wasn’t shooting portraits, he focused on photographing landscapes. He began photographing
wildlife commercially in 2002 on assignment for the San Diego Zoo in Botswana and Tanzania. In 2005, he returned to Africa to shoot photographs for a safari in Kenya. He later accompanied a group of doctors to Nigeria to document their work in surgically removing goiters caused by the excessive use of palm oil in the diets of the locals. McBride was born in Washington, D.C., while his mother and father were in medical school. The family moved to La Jolla when he was 11 months old. “I started fishing and diving when
I was 5,” McBride said. Also about that time, he met legendary San Diego-based, long-range sportfishing skipper Don Sansome, who became his hero. “So from the time I was 5, I wanted to be a captain,” McBride said. “And I started working on boats when I was in the sixth grade.” After high school, he captained private yachts into Mexican, Costa Rican and Alaskan waters. In 1987, he moved to Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, where he lived and worked for 21 years. With a growing family, McBride recently returned to La Jolla with his wife, Gabriela, and their two children. “I heard that Brett had been doing the ‘Offshore Adventures’ fishing shows,” Frapwell said, “and when we got together he told me about how he was catching and tagging Great White sharks and I said, ‘Are you serious?’ And I asked him if they would also need still photography, and he said, ‘Yeah,’ — and I said ‘I’m in.’ ” A 25-foot Contender sportfishing boat and the 126-foot mothership “Ocean” (a Bering Sea crabber retrofitted with a 37-ton hydraulic submersible platform) are employed to land, tag and release the Great Whites. A hand-line with a barbless baited hook is used to lure the powerful predators. No fancy rods and reels

FROM SHARKS, B5 seawater are pumped into the mouth and out through the gills. The shark is measured, a DNA blood sample is taken, and, from male sharks, a sperm sample is taken. A satellite tracking tag is attached at the dorsal fin, the highest point on the shark and the bodypart thought to have less blood flow to nerves and less sensitivity to the tag. The tracking device, calibrated to relay a signal in real time every time the shark’s dorsal fin breaks the water’s surface, is built to last six years. It is capable of sending 120,000 messages. A secondary pop-up tag is also attached to the shark, and the hook

For identification purposes, Frapwell photographs the shark on the platform and, when possible, in the ocean. The shark is returned to the sea in less than 20 minutes. The total number of Great Whites caught, tagged, examined and released thus far is 24. Next, the expedition is off to Boca Grande, Florida, in search of Great Hammerheads and Bull Sharks for season four of “Shark Men.”

FROM ARTS, B1 “The minute I walked in, I felt instantly welcomed, and so energized by the creativity all around me,” she said. “They happened to be looking for a new Director of Development, and the job description exactly matched what I’d been doing for so long — fundraising and art.” Since November, Stephens has been organizing ARTS’ 10th anniversary gala, which will feature four stars from the original cast of “Jersey Boys,” including Honorary Chair Christian
Hoff. The show, which premiered at La Jolla Playhouse in 2004, went on to Broadway and won a Tony Award for Best Musical in 2006. After the gala, Stephens plans to start teaching ARTS classes in painting and mosaics. “It’s such a happy place, with a great staff,” she said. “I look forward to going to work, and I truly enjoy knowing we’re making a difference. I wake up happy, I’m happy there, and I always leave happy. And I still feel that the best is yet to come.”

FROM questiOns, B1 What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I know this response is tired, but I’d love to subtract some of the traffic and “For Lease” signs in the Village. It breaks our hearts every time another business has to close its doors. I’d love to see more outdoor dining in town and more walkable areas … maybe even a couple of car-less (gasp!) blocks. What I’d like most, though, is a touch of the La Jolla of old; where kids can run to a friend’s house or ride their bikes into town or to the beach without parents having to agonize over their safety; where we’re not all concerned about others’ financial well-being or marital status; where kids are just kids regardless of the labels on their clothes or the cars their parents drive.
Who or what inspires you? Teachers inspire me every day. I don’t know how they do what they do, day in and day out, and remain passionate about education and children. My husband inspires me. He has worked so hard to follow his dream, then comes home and jumps right in with the family. Authors inspire me. Those who sit down and write — whether it’s one hour at the crack of dawn before the kids wake or eight hours throughout the day. Finally, my mom inspires me. With six kids, two stepchildren, and 20 grandkids, she continues to give endless amounts of love and support to us, while also caring for my grandmother.
deceased) would you invite? Well, if you know me well enough, you know the first person I’d have to invite is a caterer. I hate to cook. Honestly, though, I’d love to have a dinner with my dad. Just me and my dad. He died after a valiant battle against leukemia when I was 12, and I’d love to have just an hour or two to sit with him as an adult and ask him how he thinks I’m doing, what he’d like to see me do differently, and whether we’ll all be together in the end.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or
What are you reading? I have Jonathan Franzen’s
What is your most-prized possession? I most value my husband’s photographs of our girls and the home they hang in.
“Freedom” on my iPad and I’m in awe when I can sit and really ingest each brilliant sentence. What do you do for fun? Because I’m training for a race with TNT right now, I’m enjoying running along the coast and La Jolla’s streets of dreams. I also love to jump on my treadmill in the garage and catch up on “Grey’s Anatomy” or a “Real Housewife” or two. We love to go to the movies as a family and don’t mind the occasional gloomy day in San Diego so we can sneak off to a matinee. Quick trips to L.A. or the desert keep us happily going through the mundane of the dayto-day for weeks. What is your greatest accomplishment? Well, I felt pretty great crossing
the finish line of my first marathon last January. I was turning 40 and wanted to do something “epic,” and I was able to raise $13,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and honor the memory of my father at the same time. But I am most proud of the family Michael and I have built together. What is your motto or philosophy of life? “Hope is not a plan.” While we may buy the occasional Lotto ticket, we have come to realize that it’s all on us. We can make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of others, but to do so, we have to be consciously proactive. All that consciousness can be exhausting, but when the results are positive, it is incredibly rewarding.

Chihuly’s ‘Sun’ will now beam brightly at Salk Institute
I
rwin and Joan Jacobs have given another gift to the community: A 9-foot glass sculpture called “The Sun” by Dale Chihuly that was unveiled on April 14 at The Salk Institute. The couple dedicated the sculpture, which they commissioned following the 2010 Chihuly exhibit at the research institute that drew more than 6,000 visitors. “The Sun,” is made of brightly colored individual glass pieces, and is now framed by the concrete walls of the southeast building entrance. In a press release, Chihuly said, “When I received the Salk’s invitation to exhibit there in 2010, I knew I had to put my own artwork, ‘The Sun’, facing the Pacific Ocean. I heard from many people that it was their favorite piece, so it was a logical starting point when I was asked to create a permanent installation.” He added that he hopes “this new artwork will serve as a touchstone of the 50th anniversary celebrations, and provide inspiration for many future achievements at the Salk Institute. For me, it is a great honor to have my art presented in this masterpiece of architecture.” The event doubled as an occasion to honor new members of the Institute’s Board of Trustees — Benjamin H. Lewis and Faye H. Russell.

A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: “My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I?” When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word Mother. — mothersdaycelebration.com

A new report finds that 1 in 4 children in the United States is being raised by a single parent — a percentage that is higher than in other developed countries, and expected to rise, according to The Associated Press. True. The U.S. had 25.8 percent of children being raised by a single parent, compared with an average of 14.9 percent across the 27 other industrialized countries studied by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. By 2025 to 2030, that percentage is expected to increase by 8 percent, the report predicts. Why are so many moms and dads going it alone? Experts say changing gender roles, the rise of contraception, high incarceration rates in some communities, and an acceptance of having children out of wedlock have all contributed to the statistic. — msnbc, Time Magazine

Pulitzer-winning drama ‘August: Osage County’ unfolds at The Globe BY DIANA SAENGER “August: Osage County” is set in Oklahoma where three generations of the Weston family have lived, struggled, got along, not gotten along, and grown. When the patriarch, Beverly, suddenly disappears, there are many mysteries to uncover and secrets to unveil about his disappearance. As the family deals with the horrific occurrence, each scene reveals how they really feel toward one another. The dark, yet sometimes humorous, “August: Osage County” has only been around for a few years but has racked up much audience praise and many awards, including a 2008 Tony Award for Best Play, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Written by Tracy Letts and directed by Obie Award-winner Sam Gold, the play runs through June 12 at The Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park. Among the cast members are Todd Ceveris and Angela Reed, who graduated from UCSD in the late 1990s.

The couple has performed together in “Talley’s Folly,” and the “Spring Awakening” tour that included a San Diego stop. They said they are thrilled to be appearing in “Osage County.” “It’s a major work of modern American Theater,”
said Ceveris who portrays Sheriff Deon Gilbeau. “Audiences around the country have found it a very significant and profound play.” Reed, who plays the eldest daughter of the Weston Family, Barbara Fordham, said the company is aided by a few of the original cast members.
“Kimberly Guerrero, originated the role of Johnna, and played it on Broadway, in Chicago, London and Sydney. We’re fortunate to have her and a few others who played replacements on Broadway, including Guy Boyd (Charlie Aiken) and Robert Foxworth (Beverly Weston),” Reed said. “All of
them have been able to offer some insight during difficult moments. “This play is just brilliant. There’s a lot going on — sometimes at the same time with different characters in different rooms. As an actor I don’t know if I will ever play another role that takes me on a journey like this one has.”

Bishop student lands a role in The Globe’s ‘Life of Riley’ By Diana Saenger Sir Alan Ayckbourn, who received a special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theater, sees his 74th (and newest) play, “Life of Riley,� have its U.S. premiere at the Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park under the direction of Richard Seer, now through June 5. The Old Globe has staged 10 of Ayckbourn’s plays since 1978. Enter someone newer to the footlights, Rebecca Gold, a senior at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, who is making her first professional appearance in the role of Tilly. Gold played Celia in The Globe’s 2010 Shakespeare Intensive production of “As You Like It,� and caught a casting director’s eye. “I became aware of the Shakespeare Intensive program for students when our teacher saw an ad and told us about it,� Gold said. “I auditioned and got a call back along with 30 other San Diego students. It was an incredible opportunity to participate in workshops with professional actors and the Globe’s costume design-

It’s What Makes La Jolla Special It’s What Makes Us Different
“This is the story of three couples whose women have been involved with George in some way,� Gold said. “When he asks each woman to come on a holiday with him and take care of him in his final days, at first they agree. Eventually the women are convinced not to go.� While her thoughts are wrapped around her role, Gold said she is also focused on her future. She’s been accepted to Stanford University where she will begin this fall. “I feel like I have learned so much about myself, other people, and the way people react to one another as an actress,� Gold said. “It’s an amazing art form.� Gold said she believes “Life of Riley� will appeal to a wide range of patrons because “it’s very fun, and George is like a hippie Peter Pan who never gets old and wants a fun life forever. “The play contains some great classic music,� she said, “and is easily relatable to everyone as they watch how couples see things change from their 30s to 40s and beyond.�

Globally, Mother’s Day breakfasts are all a sweet treat
Kitchen Shrink BY CAThARIne L. KAufmAn Mothers are honored around the world on different days with distinct cultural customs and foods. Here’s a rundown on what assorted countries do to celebrate their special women and what citizens serve for a Mom’s Day breakfast or brunch. n American Woman In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother’s Day a national holiday to be observed the second Sunday of May each year. Today in this country, Mother’s Day is the most popular day to dine in a restaurant, squeezing out Valentine’s Day. According to the National Restaurant Association 75 million people
are expected to dine out Sunday May 8, one-fourth “doing brunch.” Some AllAmerican choices include peanut butter and jelly stuffed French toast; veggie or seafood egg scramble with home fries; and bagels, cream cheese and lox. Mimosas or pomegranate juice will wash it down nicely. n Japan’s Haha no hi Also celebrated the second Sunday in May, haha no hi derived from hahaoya meaning mother in Japanese, was first observed during the Showa period to commemorate the birthday of Empress Kojun, mother of Emperor Akihito. In happier times, Mother’s Day was celebrated with great fanfare, one of the busiest restaurant days of the year. In Japan, a Mother’s Day breakfast might include miso soup, grilled fish, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) or a raw egg, pickled veggies, seasoned nori (dried seaweed), natto (fermented soybeans), and rice porridge with a cup of green tea.
n Mum’s the Word In England during the 1600s, “Mothering Sunday” became a festive day when children spent time with their moms, presenting them with home-baked almond or simnel cake, aka a “Mothering Cake.” Today Mother’s Day is celebrated the fourth Sunday in the month of Lent. The Brits pay homage to their moms with bouquets of chrysanthemums and the “Mothering Cake.” A conventional British brekkie might include bangers (sausages), rashers (bacon) and oozing sunny side up eggs, mopped up with buttered toast or crumpets, followed by sweet scones and a strong cup, or two, or three of English tea.

n Canadian Mother’s Day, eh? On the second Sunday in May, moms are bestowed with boxes of iconic Laura Secord bonbons, pampered with luxurious breakfasts in bed or hearty family dinners, the Stanley Cup Playoffs likely blaring in the background. As Canadian cuisine is a melting pot of cultures, typical breakfast items include Canadian pea
Almond-Crusted French Toast n Ingredients: 2 eggs 1/3 cup shredded coconut 1/2 cup almond meal or crushed almonds 1/2 cup crushed corn flakes 1/4 cup almond milk 1 to 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 4 slices thickly sliced egg bread or challah n Directions: Combine the shredded coconut, almond meal and corn flakes in a bowl. Transfer to a flat container. Beat the eggs, milk, extract and cinnamon. Dip the bread into the egg mixture, then coat with the dry mixture. Melt the butter on a griddle and add fry until golden brown, turning once. Garnish with powdered sugar, and serve with pure maple syrup, hugs and kisses.
meal bacon and sunny side up eggs, porridge or oatmeal, and flapjacks with Canadian maple syrup. n Ole Madre Mother’s Day in Spain is celebrated on Dec. 8. Spaniards honor their own mothers and the Virgin Mary. Breakfast known as el desayuno usually includes café con leche, a strong espresso coffee blended with frothy, hot milk, accompanied by sweet rolls or magdalenas, lemony cupcakes or sugary-doused churros.
Mother’s Day in Mexico is also celebrated on a fixed day, May 10, with special church Masses. Mothers early morning treats include tamales and atole. Other breakfast foods include nuevos rancheros, breakfast burritos and tacos. n Something special: Join me for a free Mother’s Day cooking class for dads and kids (moms welcome) at Whole Foods La Jolla, 11 a.m. Saturday May 7.

LIVE MUSIC
n Fete des Meres The French celebrate Mother’s Day the last Sunday in May. A home-cooked family dinner is traditional, while mother is presented with a cake resembling a floral bouquet. A customary French breakfast tends to be more sweet than savory with such fare as a brioche, pain au chocolat, an almond croissant, a tartine (buttered baguette) to dip in café au lait or chocolat chaude (hot chocolate). For the savorytoothed French diner a Swiss cheese and mushroom omelet with seasoned potatoes would be fantastique.
The Riford Center is a recipient of a grant from Met Life administered through the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, which will provide the adult activities center with a series of three lectures taught by instructors from the museum using digital photography equipment. The initial presentation will focus on famous French photographers and include images of France, its people and culture from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, May 27 at the center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. The event is free to members. Seating is limited to the first 12 people to register at (858) 459-0831.
Young women sought for San Diego Cities pageant Pageant organizers are seeking outgoing women, ages 13-26, to participate in the Miss San Diego Cities 2011 program on Monday, May 30 at the Joan B. Kroc Center. The winner will receive at $1,000 scholarship, while Miss Teen San Diego Cities will receive a $500 scholarship. The pageant will be the first countywide pageant since the “Fairest of the Fair” ended in 2004 that does not have a swimsuit nor talent competition but instead asks contestants to participate in essay writing and speech presentation. Pageant director Alexandra Kuty (who also directs the Miss La Mesa and Miss Santee pageants) said, “Miss San Diego Cities will be a woman who represents all of the cities that make up San Diego County.” The 22nd Agricultural Association still holds the rights to the titles “Fairest of the Fair” and “Miss San Diego County.” For more information, contact Kuty, at (619) 698-4163 or via e-mail MissSDCitiesPageant@yahoo.com

Changes come to Mainly Mozart to position it for the future The Mainly Mozart Festival, which takes place over 2-3 weeks each June, will expand to 2 months next year with pianist and chamber musician Anne-Marie McDermott joining maestro David Atherton in artistic leadership. Atherton, founding artistic director, will continue to lead the festival orchestra, comprised of concertmasters and principal players from the nation’s leading orchestras, while McDermott will program all chamber music concerts as Curator of Chamber Music. The Mainly Mozart Festival began in 1989 with Atherton conducting the festival orchestra on stage at the Old Globe Theater. Since 1996, Mainly Mozart’s Spotlight (chamber music) Series has taken place January-May at The Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla, and in more recent years at St. Elizabeth Seton Church in Carlsbad, and The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. In 2012, the La Jolla series will merge with the orchestral concerts to form a late-April to late-June festival. This year’s 2011 festival is June 7-18. In addition to her position with Mainly Mozart, McDermott leads the Ocean Reef Chamber Music Festival in Florida, the Avila Chamber Music Celebration in Curacao, and the Vail Music Festival. The mainly Mozart Spotlight Series (held in Rancho Santa Fe and Carlsbad) will continue January-May, with McDermott programming those as well. New for 2012, programming for the La Jolla Spotlight Series concerts will NOT be repeated in Carlsbad and Rancho Santa Fe. Program details for

If you are selling a home or estate in La Jolla, read this... 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?
Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase La Jolla real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www. lajollalight.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 115 countries and over a 30-day period in March, the site generated 32,826 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily

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.
