ast week The Light published the above artist’s rendering of a sign proposed for the bridge on Torrey Pines Road at La Jolla Shores Drive. We asked residents to weigh-in on the concept using our new online community bulletin board lajollavoices.com. Here’s a sampling of the responses. Read more on page A-18 and online. There’s still time to add your thoughts. Heartfelt thanks to all who contributed opinions! The La Jolla Community Foundation, which is overseeing the sign project, will consider all viewpoints.

I think it is a terrible idea and very tacky. Use the money to fill potholes in our streets. —Patricia Hambleton I like the concept of a sign, and this one is simple and very readable. However, as La Jolla is such a historic community, I would prefer one that better represents that history. —Nina Stark Awful idea. What happened to our quiet little village that we native La Jollans had known and come to love? Put the donation to other, better causes like more trees and fountains. —Joseph McGoldrick I just love the fact we are finally getting a sign. La Jolla is the St. Tropez of America and we have not had a sign for all these years. Give the sign a beach-village feel. I always thought the sign would be made of wood, have some sort of beach logo and be installed in the median coming down La Jolla Parkway. However I’ll take what we can get! — Jawad Bisharat

Couples’ deaths appear to be assisted suicides Police say assisted suicide appears to be the cause of the death of La Jollans, Howard Frank Jaffe, 81, and his 78-year-old wife, Elaine Fern Jaffe. The couple was found dead seated on couches in their townhome on Caminito Sueno, Wednesday, Feb. 29 about 12:30 p.m. Frank Jaffe had a plastic bag over his head with a clear breathing tube leading to a helium tank. A friend of the couple, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Light

the pair was despondent over a financial downturn of events in their lives. The Medical Examiner’s office has subsequently released information that a suicide kit was found inside the Jaffe’s home. The couples’ bodies were found by police after their son, who does not live in town, called to request that officers perform a welfare check on his parents, whom he’d been unable to contact. Autopsy results are pending. Jaffe was a former stockbroker in Chicago.

Project chair Phyllis Minick strolls the path to the Children’s Pool. Dave Schwab By Dave Schwab The easy part for the proposed Children’s Pool Walkway beautification project is over — getting community approval for the plan. That was accomplished by unanimous consent of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) at its March 1 meeting. Now comes the hard part — finding the money for walkway improvements. Those improvements are to be done adjacent to, and concurrent with, replacement of the Children’s Pool’s Lifeguard Tower, which will begin in May after the end of seal pupping season at the pool. Landscape architect Jim Neri, who’s done

a landscape concept plan for the revitalized walkway, noted at the meeting that there’s a long way to go in raising the cash to execute the plan. “We need about $250,000,” he said. “Because the lifeguard tower includes a portion of the walkway to be improved, we have $10,000 (from the city), seed money for this project.” La Jollan Phyllis Minick, who spearheaded the walkway beautification project from the start, has a plan for raising the other $240,000, which includes a “best-case”

Post Office Update: Progress slow, steady By Dave Schwab More than 1,000 people have signed the petition to save the Wall Street Post Office from closure, an application has been submitted seeking state historical designation (and protection) for the building, and a community forum to “re-imagine” other uses for it is being planned in late March at La Jolla Rec Center. Those were the highlights of the Save the La Jolla Post Office Task Force’s March 2 meeting. Task force member Joe LaCava said the public meeting in La Jolla with federal postal representatives, which is required by law to discuss the planned closure of the Wall Street building, has not been set.

La Jolla Scenic Drive South, in the vicinity of Mt. Soledad. Pat Sherman photos

Within the past six months there were four accidents along La Jolla Blvd., south of Pearl Street.

Traffic cops say La Jolla streets safer than others, but problems remain By Pat Sherman Though San Diego police say there are fewer collisions and traffic problems in La Jolla than in other San Diego communities, The Jewel has its share of hotspots where speeding and unsafe driving practices persist. “With the amount of traffic you have going in and out of La Jolla it could be a lot worse,” said police Sgt. Eric Hays, a supervisor in charge of four officers who patrol La Jolla via motorcycle. “We’ve got a sporadic amount of accidents here and there — one could be an improper turn, one could be possibly speed related, but nothing really stands out. “The major problem is the La Jolla Boulevard corridor going in and out of La Jolla, as far as speed goes,” he said. During the past six months, there were four accidents in the 7400 block of La Jolla Boulevard, just south of Peal Street, including two caused by improper turns. “The speed limit is only 25 through there, but people obviously speed through,” Hays said. “You have a lot of driveways coming out, cross-streets, and people parked on both the east and west curb-lines. So, speed’s always a factor on La Jolla Boulevard. It’s a major thoroughfare” Hays said his officers frequently monitor the intersection of Pearl Street and La Jolla Boulevard to check for cell phone use and improper turns. “If you’re in a straight lane and you realize you needed to turn left and now you make the left from that lane, it causes confusion for other drivers,” Hays said. “We have a lot of vi-

olations of that nature.” Southbound on La Jolla Boulevard, from about the 7100 to 7200 block (between Fern Glen and Nautilus Street) is the area of La Jolla’s highest speed complaints, Hays said. There were 79 citations issued there during the past six months, including 68 for speeding. Further south on La Jolla Boulevard, in the 6400 block near Winamar Avenue, police handed out 130 citations, 115 of them to people talking on their cell phones while driving. Race to the Cross Though it’s known for its stunning homes and vistas, motorists on La Jolla Scenic Drive S. aren’t exactly slowing to take in the view, with 180 citations issued in the 6400 block

(near Soledad Park and the Mt. Soledad Cross), 162 of them for speeding. Further up, at the intersection of Cardeno Drive and La Jolla Scenic Drive S. (near All Hallows School), police issued 67 violations, including 58 for violating traffic signals. At the intersection of La Jolla Scenic Drive N. and Moonridge Drive, police issued 120 citations, 108 of them for violating stop signs. At 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive, between Gilman and Nobel drives, police reported eight vehicle accidents in the past six months, including those caused by violations of the right-of-way, speeding or following too closely. Hays also noted several bicycle accidents in the past month, including one at Girard Avenue and Virginia Way on Jan. 17 that resulted

in minor injuries. “We’ve had a couple of them that have been pretty significant, but nothing really of any major violation of the law,” Hays said. “It’s mostly inattention or somebody not seeing the bicyclists.” Kathleen Ferrier, policy manager with Walk San Diego, which works to make San Diego’s streets more walker-friendly, said her organization has been working with city officials and residents along Torrey Pines Road to advocate for improvements along Torrey Pines between Girard Avenue and La Jolla Shores Drive. “There are no crossings along there and there’s not a complete sidewalk system,” Ferrier said. “There are as many as 60,000 cars going along that stretch each day, using it as a connection to Interstate 5 or other parts of La Jolla. For pedestrians and bicycles, it’s pretty dangerous.” For more information on that effort, visit torreypinessafety.org. Ferrier said the two main conditions that make an intersection dangerous for bicyclists and pedestrians are dual turn lanes, which she said create 32 potential conflict points in either direction, and the widening of roadways. “The result is that it’s a wider distance for the pedestrian to cross, especially for aging populations or kids,” she said. “Pedestrians have to rely on vehicles to do the right thing.” A national report issued last year, titled “Dangerous by Design,” ranked San Diego as fifth out of 50 regions for having the highest number of pedestrian fatalities.

Post Office Frequently Asked Questions Question: Are they proposing to take away the 92037 ZIP code? Answer: No, this proposal does not affect our ZIP code. Q: If they close Wall Street where can we get postal services? A: This proposal includes relocating the postal retail services to another location within one mile. Unofficially, the USPS has stated they want to remain in the Village.

sible to the general public. Q: If the building is designated historical does that mean that it cannot be demolished or remodeled? A: No. A historical designation does not mean the building cannot be changed to accommodate new functions or demolished because it is economically or functionally obsolete. But, designation will trigger CEQA review of any proposed

uncommon for non-historic features to be considered non-contributing. After consultation with the State Office of Historic Preservation, the Post Office’s 1935 front section, including the lobby mural, are proposed for designation for their WPA-era art and architecture, whereas the entire building is being proposed for designation for its contribution to our community’s history for the 1935-1960 period.

Q: Will we lose our P.O. Boxes? A: We have been told that the post office boxes would be available at the new location. We do not know whether the current ones will be reused or whether they will be discarded in favor of new ones. Q: Is the building historical? A: While the building is more than 75 years old and appears eligible for historical designation, it currently is not officially designated as historical. The La Jolla Historical Society is working with local, state and federal officials to gain the designation. It is being submitted for listing on the National Register for its WPA-era architecture and its Belle Baranceanu lobby mural, and for its significance to the history of La Jolla. Q: Is the interior mural historical? A: Yes. It is a Cubist-inspired oilon-canvas mural of La Jolla’s hillsides that is comprised of composite vignettes taken from Mt. Soledad looking north towards Scripps Pier. It is one of two WPA-era murals by Belle Baranceanu still acces-

changes, including demolition, and mandate use of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for preservation, rehabilitation or restoration. CEQA also requires a review of feasible alternatives to demolition that often involve appropriate adaptive re-use of the building and mitigation measures if the building cannot be re-used. Q: Is the goal to designate the entire building as historical or just the older front part? A: Historic designations cover the entire property, although it is not

Q: If the building is sold to a private developer/investor, what might happen? A: The new owner would be guided by local zoning regulations, plus any applicable state and federal regulations. The building could be demolished and a new building constructed. Or the façade and mural could be retained as is and the interior remodeled to accommodate uses allowed under the zoning. Or the retail postal operations could be retained and the remainder of the building adapted for other uses.

Q: How big is the building and how much of it does the post office use? A: The building is approximately 11,000 square feet in size and the post office reportedly uses about 6,100 square feet. Q: What does the local zoning allow on the property? A: The property is within the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance that allows retail and office uses on the ground floor and residential above. On this 10,000-square-foot lot, a new building could be 13,000 to 17,000 square feet in size if all the other regulations (parking, loading zone, landscaping, etc.) can be satisfied. Up to six residential units would be allowed. The coastal height limit of 30 feet would apply and a maximum of three stories. Q: Will the USPS consider moving the retail operation into their Silver Street Annex? A: As we understand, the Silver Street Annex is fully used and could not accommodate the 6,000 square feet the retail operation requires. Q: Will the USPS consider moving the mail delivery operations at the Silver Street Annex into the vacant portion of the Wall Street building? A: As we understand, the Wall Street building does not have sufficient space to accommodate the mail handling operations at Silver Street Annex. While first-class mail volume is on the decrease, bulk mail and packages keeps the USPS active. The Wall Street location also could not handle the overnight parking for the mail trucks.

From Post Office, A1 said, is good because once that meeting is held it starts the clock ticking for potential closure of the facility. “After that meeting there will be 30 days for public comment, then a decision (by U.S. Post Office) and then a two-week appeal period,” said LaCava. Reporting on behalf of Diane Kane, whom she said saved the task force as much as $6,000 by using her professional expertise in assembling the historical designation package, chair Leslie Davis said consideration of that application would take a minimum of nine months. The good news is the building will be protected and preserved as it is while that application is pending. Davis said the post office “re-imagining” panel would consist of development consultant Joe LaCava and architectural historian Kane. She said visionary San Diego architect Rob Quigley, who’s doing work on the new San Diego post office downtown and Christine Forester, a member of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, have also been invited to join that panel but have not yet been confirmed. The re-imagining meeting had been scheduled for Wednesday, March 21, but the Rec Center is not available then, according to Erin Demorest of Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office. Demorest offered Thursday, March 22 or 29 as alternative dates. The task force also approved the final wording for a FAQ flier to be used in publicity

Community support still strong for injured Bird Rock café worker Fundraising efforts continue for Jocylynn Breeland, the 27-year-old woman employed at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters who is recuperating from the injuries she sustained in a train accident last November. “Her spirits are pretty good and she’s geared to come back,” said BreeJocylynn land’s employer, Chuck Breeland Patton, owner of the coffee shop. In the early hours of Nov. 22, 2011, Breeland and a friend were watching a train go by near the Beech Street crossing west of Kettner Boulevard in downtown San Diego, when

they attempted to jump onto the slow-moving train. Her companion was successful but Breeland lost her footing and was hit by a tanker car that took her right arm and the toes of her right foot. To date, Patton said about $50,000 has been raised to help Breeland’s rehabilitation. He said she does have insurance, but added prosthetics are custom-made and extremely expensive costing $20,000 or more. “We raised an additional $1,500 for her in January just putting out a donation bucket at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters,” Patton said. “People have been unbelievably generous and supportive. People who aren’t even our customers have been coming in and wanting to help out. This has reaffirmed the fact that people will help out if the need is there.” Patton said donations are still being accepted for her rehabilitation.

Committee to begin interviews for new UCSD chancellor By Pat Sherman A search advisory committee comprised of University of California regents and faculty will convene this month to interview candidates seeking to fill the chancellor’s position when Marye Anne Fox ends her stint as UC San Diego’s chancellor. Fox, an esteemed educator and scientist, will step down in June and resume teaching and research as a distinguished professor of chemis-

try at UCSD. Her annual salary as chancellor is $392,000. Campus media relations manager Steve Montiel said the committee, as a group, will interview a number of people who are “considered the strongest candidates.” “Everything is proceeding according to the plan,” Montiel said of the international search, which is being assisted by Isaacson, Miller, an executive search firm that UC officials use for other staff

and medical center vacancies. “There’s been a great deal of interest and a number of very strong candidates. Things are moving along.” Montiel said Fox’s replacement should be someone who can form a similarly strong bond with the community, be a good fundraiser, and a person who commands the respect of the faculty. “It’s big shoes to fill,” Montiel said. “Marye Anne Fox is a tough act to follow.” Speaking with the La Jolla Light last month, Fox said she hopes to form an innerdepartmental umbrella organization to discuss ways of boosting math, science and technology education at the university, which she said has decreased significantly in schools across the country. “We’ll use it to start to talk with each other,” Fox said. “We can give critiques and use that as a way of actually making research return its value to education.” After stepping down, Fox said she might also “be drafted to teach organic chemistry, which I can do by rolling out of bed.

“I suppose there will be days when I do (miss being chancellor),” she said. “Typically, when I’ve left positions in the past I’ve made myself available (to the new hire). I might do a checklist (for him or her) of what the problems are.” Issues Fox said she would like to see the new chancellor continue working on include the $10.5 million renovation of University House. Last month, the UC Board of Regents approved a second renovation phase for the historic structure, to be formerly renamed the Geisel House, after UCSD philanthropist Audrey Geisel. Located in the La Jolla Farms neighborhood, the venue, used for fundraising events and campus celebrations, has been closed since 2004 when it was deemed uninhabitable due to seismic, plumbing and electrical deficiencies. “We also have to find a way to make sure that relationships with the private sector will give us the support for things the state used to support,” Fox said. “Student services are just being

The student-tofaculty ration is very high. “We know that we have to do things more efficiently,” she added, noting that the UC system is in the process of “re-benching,” a means of budgetary reform that redistributes certain types of funding, placing more emphasis on current campus needs rather than the histor-

ical reasons for allocation. Another ongoing concern, Fox said, is the loss of middle management at the university, “mostly due to attrition.” “Some people are doing what three or four people were doing the year before,” Fox said. “You can do that for six months or maybe even a year — that dual responsibility — but it begins to wear on you. It’s corrosive.”

Dr. Matthias von Herrath works in dogged pursuit of diabetes

Research Report By Lynne Friedmann

n recent months, La Jolla has been the center of research “firsts” that promise to significantly advance efforts to better understand and ultimately conquer type 1 diabetes. In each case, front and center has been the work of Matthias von Herrath, M.D., director of the Center for Type 1 Diabetes Research, at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology. In December, international headlines were generated with the announcement of von Herrath’s creation of the first real-time movies of the cellular destruction underlying type 1 diabetes in mouse models. This technical feat is already providing never-before insights into the disease. Heretofore, researchers had to extrapolate cellular processes from photos, computer modeling, or lab experiments. In January, came publication of research findings that identify, in human tissue, the specific immune system T cells that trigger pancreatic beta cell destruction. This validates information previously known only in petri dishes and mouse studies. Moving forward, it provides a focal point for interrupting the disease process. Type 1 diabetes (so-called juvenile diabetes) results from a self-destructive immune response against the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. As a result, patients with type 1 diabetes develop a life-long dependence on insulin-replacement therapy that often brings with it debilitating complications such as heart disease, blindness, and kidney disease. The cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. Confounding researchers is that while type 1 diabetes predominantly develops early in life, it can also suddenly strike adults. Also

Matthias von Herrath, M.D. bewildering is that symptoms can at times flare up then get better. This has led researchers to wonder if type 1 diabetes is a true autoimmune disease or “immune-mediated;” triggered by a bacteria or virus in people who are genetically vulnerable to the disease. “Something else, in addition to genetic factors, renders the pancreas vulnerable (to immune attack),” von Herrath said during a recent Frontiers in Science & Technology forum, sponsored by CONNECT. And, von Herrath’s lab has found that certain viral infections could trigger or dampen the autoimmune response in diabetic cases. In addition to current insulin-replacement therapy, researchers question whether it’s possible to “reset” the body’s immune system to eliminate beta cells destruction by T cells. “Life-long immune suppression is difficult to imagine with type 1 diabetes,” said von Herrath. “You cannot take (immune-response cells) out completely.” Elsewhere, bone-marrow transplantation has been tried with some success, but it does not offer a universal therapy due to its high cost and low success rate (only 30 percent remission in patients after six years). Even attempts to transplant a piece of a healthy pancreas between donors who are twins have only relieved type 1 diabetes symptoms for two to three months. “(In the future) the goal is a site-specific, antigen therapy with low side effects,” said von Herrath. A step forward in realizing that goal occurs this summer when von Herrath assumes

leadership of a new Seattle-based translational type 1 diabetes center funded by Novo Nordisk, a global healthcare company specializing in diabetes care. The center will focus on the development of type 1 diabetes immunotherapies; von Herrath will continue to lead his current research program at the La Jolla Institute on a part-time basis. “We are excited by the opportunities that this dual appointment will provide Dr. von Herrath to take his discoveries to the next level – clinical development,” said Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., La Jolla Institute president and chief scientific officer. “My dream has always been to see the most promising immune-based interventions translated into better treatments for patients with diabetes,” von Herrath said. “As head of the translational center, I will have an opportunity to pursue this dream, as well as forge new public-private collaborations to access other novel research ideas for potential development into better treatment options for people with type 1 diabetes.”

Gateway median to receive expanded makeover By Pat Sherman A dingy, long-neglected median on La Jolla Parkway known as “The Teardrop” is getting a makeover, courtesy of the La Jolla Community Foundation. Work on the median, which is one of the first things motorists see as they enter La Jolla from Interstate 5 or state Route 52, will cost between $50,000 and $60,000. It is being made possible through a grant from the La Jolla Community Foundation, partly through a contribution from an anonymous donor. In addition to renovation of the 300-foot median, another 500 feet along the north and south sides of the road will be renovated. The entire project will involve replacing 7,000 square feet of dirt, weeds and trash with decorative, pre-cast concrete cobblestones. The project was designed by La Jolla-based Island Architects; the work will be completed by Joe Marsh of Point Loma-based Pavers 4 Less. Tony Crisafi, a founding partner of Island Architects who pulled the permits for the job, said the original scope of the project was expanded to include the north and south sides of the road.

The ‘Teardrop’ project will involve replacing 7,000 square feet of dirt, weeds and trash with decorative, pre-cast concrete cobblestones. Though there were discussions with members of the La Jolla Shores Association about using natural cobblestones or river rock, Crisafi said the city wouldn’t approve natural rock due to liability issues and the potential for stones to break loose and interfere with traffic. The foundation and community members decided against landscaping to avoid high maintenance and irrigation costs. “The idea was to have something that is maintainable,” Crisafi said, noting that the foundation is still seeking donations from private citizens to fund a two-member crew and a truck to keep the median free

of trash and automobile detritus. “It’s going to look a lot better than plastic, dirt and mulch,” Crisafi said. Charlene Pryor, executive director of the La Jolla Community Foundation, said the delayed work should finally begin sometime this month. “It’s still quicker than waiting for tax dollars to pay for it,” said Pryor, who hopes the public-private partnership will be the first of the foundation’s revitalization projects that rely on private funding to fill gaps left by a paucity of tax dollars. “It’s the wave of the future to get some of these things done,” she said. The La Jolla Community Foundation was able to get the work done at a significantly lower cost than it would have by using tax-funded city contractors. According to Crisafi, the city’s estimate was $564,000 for a landscaped median and $349,000 for the faux cobblestone. Crisafi said the project is still “a few dollars short” and that lastminute donations from the public are welcome.

HOW A SAN DIEGO HOT SPOT IS TURNING PEPPERONI AND HOPS INTO A SMALL-BUSINESS

SUCCESS STORY.

When Gina and Vince Marsaglia of Pizza Port were looking to offer their pizza and craft beer to more people in San Diego, they turned to Bank of America. By providing a business loan, we were able to help them expand their operations and open a fourth location — creating more jobs and economic growth in the area, and giving more people a chance to taste why Pizza Port is such a popular destination. Pizza Port is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in San Diego — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $1.27 billion in new credit to small businesses in California — an increase of 14% from 2010.

From Project, A1 scenario. “I would hope we could find somebody locally, one person (not necessarily a La Jollan because the broader population of San Diego uses this area as do visitors from all over the world) who could support the entire project,” she said. Short of that, Minick is working on Plan B. “Second is the possibility of a fundraising event and I’m inquiring into several,” she said. “Third is grantproposal writing. We’ll appeal to local foundations as well as national ones that offer opportunities for beautification projects.” Neri said a plaque or some other form of name recognition will be worked out and offered as incentive for a walkway beautification donor to step forward. Jihad Sleiman, city project manager for the Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower, said the city and walkway beautification projects, though separate, are “working together closely on coordinating colors, benches and plantings, as well as landscape and hardscape features.” He said the new lifeguard tower is “design-build,” which means, “we’re going to design it and construct it at the same time. The ugly scaffolding and old lifeguard tower will come down first before anything is built. “We hope, in May, to start major construction and it should take eight months to a year to finish,” Sleiman said. Completion is scheduled for summer 2013. Neri said he and others would very much like walkway beautification to become an amendment to the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower project. “Now that the project has been conceptually approved, the next step will be for me to do construction drawings,” Neri said. “The aim of redeveloping the walkway to go along with the new lifeguard tower, is to make it a better place to walk, rehabilitating the old and tired site by replacing aging concrete and planters that don’t make sense around this brand new icon.”

Roslyn residents concerned about ‘possible’ new restaurant on Prospect By Dave Schwab Developers of the former Simic Art Gallery space at 1205 Prospect St. insist the site is just being rehabbed for future use and neighbors’ fears that a new restaurant is going in there soon are unfounded. But nearby residents point to ongoing construction work at 1205 Prospect, as well as valet parking being sought by Grand Parking LLC on behalf of Amaya La Jolla at 7979 Ivanhoe Ave., as evidence suggesting otherwise. “It’s a long, narrow space and we’re making some improvements on the walls, ceilings and floors to get it in better shape for whatever tenant we end up having,” said Tom Voss, president of Manchester Resorts, which owns and is remodeling the former gallery site. “If I could tell you there was going to be a restaurant there, or an art gallery, an office or a bank — I would. I will tell you there is no definite plan for it.” Manchester owns the high-end restaurant, Amaya, inside the Grand Del Mar resort in Carmel Valley. Phil Wise, a commercial Realtor with Colliers International in La Jolla, confirmed there is no restaurant tenant lined up to go into the former Simic space, but restaurants are expressing interest. “We’ve had some credible tenants, several restaurant groups, that we’ve talked to about the space in the past year but nothing has happened,” he said adding, “the market dictates a tenant.”

Construction work at the former Simac Art Gallery site on Prospect Street (left) has neighbors like Leigh Hyman on Roslyn Lane (right) worried that the space may one day house a restaurant. Dave Schwab Wise said the current plan now by the Manchester interests is to expand the Simic Gallery’s 3,600 square feet of space. “They want to take one of the ground floor office spaces in the back and incorporate that into the 3,600 square feet that is being converted into a restaurant space making it larger,” he said. “We have told them it’s too large. We think the sweet spot is the smaller space, not the larger space.” A neighbor immediately behind 1205 Prospect St. on Roslyn Lane, Leigh Hyman, caught wind of the prospect that the space is being converted for restaurant use, and has

been actively lobbying La Jolla community advisory groups against such a move. “This is a street (Roslyn) like an alley with residences and commercial at each end,” she said. “Roslyn is a one-way fire lane with a sign that says, ‘No stopping any time.’ You’re not supposed to get out and leave your car at all. Where would a restaurant located there get truck deliveries?” Hyman’s next-door neighbor, John Alksne, said he would also oppose the site’s use as a restaurant. But more immediately, he’s concerned about the ongoing construction activity there.

“We got no notice whatsoever (about construction activity),” he said. “We just assumed if anything was going to happen there, there would be some kind of notice. They’ve closed the street and are totally indifferent to us. Already their dumpsters are across the red (fire) line and are blocking traffic a good part of the time without notifying anybody. It’s been very hard for residents getting in and out of our garages.” Nate Sposato of Grand Parking LLC acknowledged that his company has applied for a 40-foot-wide passenger loading zone to be used for valet parking at a building at 7979 Ivanhoe Ave. on the front side of Prospect St., which would be open to the public from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Ryan Kiesel of Manchester Financial Group, denied that valet space is being sought for a new restaurant. “There is no lease in place for that space,” Kiesel said. “We’re getting it (valet space) ready to lease it out to a potential tenant, whether it’s another art gallery or a restaurant.” Sposato said further consideration of Grand Parking’s valet plan “has been put on hold until we get the master plan for valet parking on Prospect Street.” Tom Brady, a member of both La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation Committee (T&T) and the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), said preliminary meetings are being

Mission to end Ugandan killings departs from La Jolla last week San Diego-based nonprofit Invisible Children is on a mission to make reviled war criminal Joseph Kony a household name — albeit a very bad one. Sixteen vans departed from the Mt. Soledad Cross Feb. 23, each team on a mission to canvas the United States and Canada screening the organization’s new documentary, “Kony 2012.” The group hopes their campaign and film will raise awareness of the brutal murders perpetrated by the Ugandan guerrilla group leader. Kony is head of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), which has abducted an estimated 66,000 children to fight for its militant cause, in some cases forcing children to kill their own parents and countrymen. Each van holds a group of five who will screen the documentary at high schools, universities and places of worship. A Ugandan citizen displaced by the LRA is riding

with each group to give a personal account of Kony’s bloody crusade. In October, President Obama sent 100 U.S. troops to Uganda to assist in the battle against the LRA. UC San Diego graduate and Invisible Children intern Jeanette Ordonez said the organization hopes that through their efforts people will see Kony’s name online or in print and know of his crimes. “No matter who you are, one individual can make a difference,” said Ordonez, 23. “A lot of people here are very young but that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot that we can accomplish.” A screening of the documentary will be May 1 at 7 p.m. in the UC San Diego Student Services Center, multipurpose room (Rupertus Way and Myers Drive).

View down Black Gold Road looking toward the project site and its ocean views. Dave Schwab

Planning Association approves Farms’ home plan amid protests By Dave Schwab Overriding some neighbors’ objections that public ocean views would be compromised, La Jolla Community Planning Associaton (LJCPA) endorsed the Encore Trust home redevelopment project in La Jolla Farms. The March 1 vote by the advisory group, which makes land-use recommendations to the city, was 8 for the project, 3 against and 3 abstentions. The association determined the project conformed to local planning regulations and findings could be made for required permits. Review of this project was noteworthy in that it pitted two LJCPA trustees, current group president Tony Crisafi and immediate past president Joe LaCava, against one

another in representing opposing sides, requiring both to recuse themselves from voting. LaCava is representing project applicants Marty and Michelle Weinberg who said they want to redevelop the vacant, 1.52-acre site at 9872 La Jolla Farms Road into their “dream home.” Crisafi is representing neighbors opposed to the Weinberg’s proposed plan, claiming it wrongfully — and irreversibly — impinges on public ocean views. Neighbors engaged Crisafi to devise and present a counterproposal for the Weinberg home design, calling for “sinking it” deeper into the site to reduce its visibility. Opponents also presented a petition signed by 62 residents in the Farms neighborhood against the project.

Real Estate

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas Keep Your Home Sale From Falling Apart!

After finding a buyer, your work is not done. Here are 5 things that could cause your sale to not culminate... 1) If you ignore contingencies you could be in trouble. If your contract is contingent on certain repairs being done, don't delay doing them or do cheap patch jobs. The buyer will notice things were not done properly. 2) If things break during the escrow period, fix them before the pre-closing walk through with the buyer. If the home is not in the same condition as when they made their offer, the buyers may lose confidence in your integrity and worry about the condition of the home. If the furnace fails, get a professional to fix it and keep the buyer informed of what work was done. 3) Don't get lax about deadlines. Respond within the contract time periods. 4) Don't count your money before the deal closes. You may have to negotiate a little further if inspections uncover safety issues or the appraisal does not come in at the price the buyers offered to pay. Being prepared to give a little credit to the buyer might save your sale and help you move on with your life. 5) Don't ignore unpaid liens against the property when selling. The title company will find them and they must be paid before a buyer can receive clear title. If you have a condo, unpaid home owner assessments or regular payments will have to be brought current. If you have not paid property taxes, delinquent fees and the taxes will have to be paid. These items will not be over looked, so make sure you have accepted a price that gives you enough money to pay off these expenses. Just remember, your sale is not a done deal until it closes escrow.

Project review was also unusual in that the applicants, both Marty and Michelle Weinberg, defended their home project personally before LJCPA trustees. “Our house was designed very carefully to fit into the topography,” said Michelle Weinberg. “I respect that the public needs to have views. But we’re entitled to some kind of view of our own, and if you drop the house down – there would be no view at all.” Marty Weinberg said his family has made extraordinary concessions to appease neighbors’ concerns. “They told us they wanted us to modify our home in many different ways and we did: a 25 percent reduction in its size, removal of a guest house, preservation of a 50foot view corridor on the side of the house, and dedication of a public trail leading down to the beach,” he said. Attorney Evelyn Heidelberg, speaking for neighbors opposed to Weinberg’s plans, argued the project as presently construed violates La Jolla’s community plan because its encroachment into public views does not “protect or enhance them” as intended. LJCPA trustee Phil Merten, an architect, countered that provision in the La Jolla Community Plan, if taken literally, would not allow any development. He said public thoroughfares in the Farms neighborhood all overlook private property, which obscures views to some extent. Trustee Mike Costello disagreed saying public views are “precious and should be protected.”

New restaurants without parking spaces trouble planning association By Dave Schwab A theme is surfacing in La Jolla development projects seeking community planning approval — the intensification of building use without additional required parking. “It’s an ongoing issue, especially with the wave of new restaurants coming in,” said Joe LaCava, a La Jolla Community Planning Association member entrusted with making land-use recommendations to the City of San Diego. “It is a struggle because La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (development blueprint) doesn’t talk about parking directly, but refers to the city’s municipal code, which is difficult to decipher in terms of what the park-

ing requirements are.” Upon close inspection of the code, LaCava said there’s a loophole in the city’s parking regulations governing restaurants. “If a restaurant is in a building classified as ‘mixed use,’ the parking requirements are actually quite less,” La Cava said. That’s correct, said city senior planner Chris Larson. “In La Jolla, for a stand-alone restaurant, the PDO requires 5 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of development,” he said. “But if it’s in a mixed-use building with retail, 1.7 spaces are required per 1,000 square feet.” Restaurants permitted recently in La Jolla have been in mixed-use buildings, said Lar-

son noting they are merging with existing retail, commercial service or office space, allowing them to be “grandfathered in” under regulations different than those applying to stand-alone restaurants. The discrepancy is a problem La Jolla community planners want to address. “Some members of the board would say that parking ratios we had originally intended in our PDO are currently being misapplied; that the city is choosing to interpret them differently than we’d hoped they’d be interpreted,” said Ione Stiegler, chair of La Jolla’s PDO Committee, which evaluates application of building development standards to colors, materials and signage. “It’s a dis-

agreement between us and the city.” Stiegler said the advisory group is presently drafting a letter asking for a dialogue with the city, arguing restaurants going into existing mixed-use buildings ought to compensate by providing additional parking. Larson said it’s possible to change the rules applying to mixed-use restaurant parking in La Jolla, but it will be a process. “The San Diego Municipal Code would need to be changed,” he said. “Advisory board members need to make a request to their council person. Then we have staff in Development Services whose role is to make changes to the San Diego Municipal Code.”

Crime Report Rape update The two rapes reported in The Light last week that took place on Feb. 23 in the 300 block of Kolmar Street, and on Feb. 25 in the 7500 block of Charmant Drive, were both domestic violence cases involving people who were acquainted, said Gary Hassen, San Diego Police Department spokesman.

From restaurant, A12 held between members of both advisory groups and valet vendors to come up with a master plan for valet parking in the Village, which was requested recently by T&T. The committee said it doesn’t feel right approving additional requests for new valet space without having an overall plan for citing valet parking in the Village in place. “Nobody has taken a position as to whether or not there’s too many valet spaces,” Brady said. “We need to have a comfort level that we’re doing the most efficient thing with valet parking proposed for all concerned — the applicants, the merchants, and the property owners.” Brady added it’s the intent of groups meeting on the valet master plan to “have a framework of what we’re doing by the end of March.” He said reports on valet master plan progress will likely be made at T&T’s March and April meetings, held the fourth Thursday of the month at 4 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Home Care Assistance opens Fay St. branch By Marti Gacioch For five years, Home Care Assistance has worked to keep La Jolla’s older adults living happily and healthfully in their own homes by providing them with quality caregivers. Now the company’s recent move to 7521 Fay St. will enable them to provide even more services for the La Jolla community. “We’ve always helped clients with all the basic daily living activities like housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation and personal care, such as bathing and dressing,” said Jennifer Muskat, regional director of client services. “But our new 2000-square-foot facility is now offering a healthy cooking class for caregivers, a silver age yoga class for seniors, and Chair Chi (a seated version of Tai Chi) for a nominal fee.” According to Muskat, Home Care Assistance has 70 offices across the country, and the La Jolla office is the first to offer these classes to give back to the community. To determine a client’s needs, Muskrat visits

their home to meet with an adult child seeking help with an aging parent. While there, she assesses the client’s needs to determine what level of skilled caregiver is necessary. Muskat said a typical client is aged 80 through the early 100s, and their needs range widely from simply basic companionship to transportation, cooking, and light housekeeping. Some need round-the-clock care for a medical issue. “If a client’s case becomes medically complex, we bring in a geriatric care manager to handle that aspect of the case,” Muskat said. Home Care Assistance has approximately 240 caregivers, but they’re always seeking qualified candidates. “We’re very particular, though, and really take a lot of time doing background checks, checking references, and training potential caregivers before we hire anyone,” Muskat said. “Of 35 applicants, we may only choose one.” — Home Care Assistance, 7521 Fay Ave. (858) 842-1346. www.homecareassistance.com

Site selected to build Scripps’ research vessel The U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) has chosen a shipyard in Washington to construct a new research vessel for Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. The vessel will be owned by ONR for the Department of the Navy and operated by Scripps under charter party agreement. Dakota Creek Industries Inc. of Anacortes, Wash., will build AGOR 28, a new “ocean class” research vessel that will assist Scripps in its study of the ocean’s most vital environmental and scientific challenges. The vessel will support both oceanographic research and U.S. Navy objectives, including submarine detection and applications for detecting and neutralizing mines. AGOR 28, to be launched in 2015, will be designed to support ocean science for the next 30 years. The seagoing lab will feature powerful research equipment, including mapping systems, sensors and profilers that will investigate features from the seafloor to the atmosphere. The vessel will be the fifth in the Scripps fleet. Its homeport will be the Scripps Nimitz Marine Facility in Point Loma, which is also homeport for Scripps’ vessels Roger Revelle, Melville, New Horizon and Robert A rendering of Scripps’ fifth research vessel, the AGOR 28.

I graduated from Cal Poly Pamona in 1978, moved out and started looking for a job. It was a tough time and I must have applied to every Architectural office in San Diego. I finally got a break with Don Reeves and Associates. Don was great and I learned a lot. I was exposed to a wide variety of work; Military, Commercial and Historical Restoration. I worked for Don for five years and was then asked by Architect Wayne Donaldson to run his office. Wayne specialized in Historical Restoration and Downtown San Diego was a happening place in the 80’s. When I left Wayne’s office I was doing a lot of Bank and S&L work. I opened my office in April 1987 with little fan fare and a small group of friends. We called it the Incunabula, the “Birth or Beginning” and I went from 0-60 in four seconds. Then in 1991 it all collapsed and in two weeks I had lost almost all my Bank Clients, which was about 75% of my workload. I had eight employees who had all become very close and in a few months I had to let them all go. This was a very difficult time. The

silver lining was, I did not have a lot of debt and while looking for small jobs, I started doing residential work. I loved it! I began working with homeowners and families. Residential work was what I wanted to do. One of the great joys is that I have become friends with many of my Clients. To hear them tell me how much they love their homes, keeps me excited and eagerly looking forward to the next project. I would like to sincerely thank all my Clients. Your support and friendship has enriched my life more than I can explain.

By Rick Wildman La Jolla Town Council President

A few years ago some people in this town identified me as a community leader. My take has always been that the best qualification for leadership is for a person to have enough common sense to be able to appreciate what thoughtful and reflective people want and (often through trial and error) to try, in all candor, to reflect the common pulse with good reason

Guest Column

and good cheer. Time has shown that Roger Revelle had a very good idea when he signed the Articles of Incorporation of the La Jolla Town Council back in 1950. According to legend, Revelle had several other good ideas over the years. Before him, Ellen Browning Scripps also had some very good ideas. A good idea that was articulated by local actor Gregory Peck in the movie, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” was that if you wanted to understand someone “you just needed to get inside their skin and walk around in it for a while.”

I have to admit that any past identification of me as a community leader might have been a case of mistaken identity. Still, perhaps the next best thing to an original idea is an ability to appreciate someone else’s good idea and to learn from the example. My best idea was to choose to live in La Jolla. This clever idea was rewarded by the gift of so many precious friendships here. As my years of presidential glory draw to a close, I relish the chance to see how our new Town Council leadership will continue to welcome everyone in our community

Let’s ticket parked recreation vehicles I think Inga’s story, “Not in front of my house,” is right on and deserves some attention by those who are paid to enforce city rules regarding recreational vehicles being parked for extended periods on our neighborhood streets. I reside in the Mount Soledad area of La Jolla in a lovely older neighborhood; however, to get in and out I need the neck of an ostrich to see if any cars are coming. Not only is it RVs, but also boats, camper shells, empty trailer frames etc. that line Soledad Mountain Road. At times, people live in these and I see the electric cords running across the sidewalk between the vehicle and a home. Every once in awhile someone moves their boat or camper around the corner onto our street. The worst part is when they move it again, trash and broken glass is often left behind. At what point are these recreational vehicle owners required to move them permanently? Last week I saw the “RSVP” Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol writing down plate numbers, but nothing really changes. I wish our town leaders could do something about this ongoing problem that should be a revenue source for the city. I applaud Inga for her story. She has a lovely way of getting to the heart of things. Elisa by email La Jolla

Architect should resign from planning board In your March 1 edition, there is a letter from Mr. Morton, an architect, denouncing the request by Peggy Davis to have him removed from any of the planning commission’s dealings with La Jolla Shores development. This has arisen because of the erection of a “bully on the block,” the 8300 section of Paseo del Ocaso, known as The Gatto House, which was designed by Mr. Morton. The house exceeds the height limit because they had to raise the ground in putting in an underground garage as it was too close to the

water level in The Shores. It lacks any green ground cover, has 12-foot walls to give privacy to its lap pool, and occupies an enormous percentage of the lot space. Its setback from the sidewalks and street is minimal. It will do nothing to contribute to the beauty of La Jolla Shores. It may be the “most environmentally green house in La Jolla,” according to Mr. Morton, but this adds nothing to its overpowering mass in relation to the other houses on the street or in front of it on El Paseo Grande. Mr. Morton’s position on these boards represents a conflict of interests. He may consider his position on these boards as a community service, but it has the ring of a “fox watching over the chickens.” In short, he should resign. Peggy Davis has done a great of service for her neighbors in opposing the Gatto House. We hope the Gattos realize this is not a salvo at them but at their architect. It is like a doctor who makes the wrong diagnosis and causes the patient much trouble. We will embrace the Gattos as new neighbors and afford them the hospitality of our neighborhood. Herman F. Froeb M.D. La Jolla

I recall Ernest Kloeble with fondness In your recent obituary of Ernest Kloeble, owner of the Rheinlander Haus, the photograph presented with the article is not captioned accurately. From left: Ernest Kloeble is joined by a cook, who I believe is Erich, not a La Jolla Town Council president wearing an apron, and his partner, Al Williams on the right. I began a 20-year restaurant career at the Marine Room and the Rheinlander Haus in 1977. Ernest Kloeble was very supportive of my calligraphy business, and while working for Al and Ernie from 1977 to the closing of the restaurant in 1982, I was responsible for the hand-lettered menus, signs, and party invitations, as well as my work as a waiter. Al and Ernie were both very generous to the entire staff. As a struggling college student, I was able to eat two staff meals at each shift, and I would often drop by for apple strudel “mit schlag” on my way to the

beach to go windsurfing! Employess of the Rheinlander Haus also enjoyed a complimentary beer in the bar at the end of each shift. Who does that nowadays? John Lake

Here is a lane that needs red-curbing In reference to the article in the Feb. 23 issue on red curbs on Hillside Drive, there is a place in La Jolla that DOES need a red curb, it is at the end of Princess St. This is a cul-de-sac, a public right of way, a place where you and I could put up a table and have dinner, yet the city lets the owner of the property nearby put in fancy pebbles, so when you get to the end that should be a turnaround, the black top stops, there are cars and artwork there, and you believe you are about to enter a private driveway, so you back out, but when you do, all the traffic on Spindrift is coming down on top of you, very dangerous! I believe the fancy pebbles should be taken out, but until that can happen, it should be redcurbed now so it can be used for what it was created for, a turnaround, not a gift of public land to a homeowner to do what he or she wants with it. This is a public right of way, public land, and should be marked as so. Melinda Merryweather La Jolla

Falcons welcome at Children’s Pool Sunday, people were, as usual, enjoying the seals and the many new seal pups at the Children’s Pool, but seals aren’t the only game in town. Just after 4 p.m., a flock of pigeons took flight. Knowing that might mean a predator, I looked for a peregrine falcon. Sure enough, there was a magnificent bird wheeling and diving toward a pigeon. She didn’t catch it on her first attempt, but after four or five passes, she grabbed one near the wall under the gazebo. Unfortunately, only

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com From Letters, A18 a few locals and tourists observed this sight. For me, it was an exciting event but, for the peregrine, it is a necessary, daily routine. Peregrines can be seen in La Jolla regularly but infrequently. The ban on DDT permitted the return of the peregrine. Both the Peregrine Fund and the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group have helped the peregrine restoration by releasing hand-reared birds into the wild. The latter group has put a camera on a nest on a San Francisco skyscraper where a pair of peregrines has been raising young since 2005. The pair this year has just started nesting and can be seen on this link: www2.ucsc.edu/scpbrg/nestcamSF.htm The next time you are at the Children’s Pool and you see a tightly flying flock of pigeons, look for a peregrine.

Don’t ban the bullhorns Dave Schwab’s front page “bullhorn” article in the March 1 La Jolla Light is biased against protection of Southern California’s only mainland harbor seal rookery and will simply encourage those who believe they must have the rookery beach for themselves. Mr. Schwab refers to the rookery beach as a “wading pool,” and characterizes the antiseal faction as “ocean users.” He fails to mention the thousands of visitors who come to La Jolla to do recreational seal watching, but who find, upon arrival, that a few selfish humans are disrupting the pupping season and scaring the seals by occupying the beach and the shallows just offshore. Further, Mr. Schwab fails to mention that people should stay off the beach to avoid seal fecal matter in the sand. Perhaps County Health should be using the bullhorns?

The seawall was built on a rock complex shown as “Seal Rock” on La Jolla’s earliest maps; “Seal Point” on those maps lies under the current lifeguard tower. Harbor seals have returned to La Jolla after many years of absence due to being hunted almost to extinction in Southern California waters. As an ecotourism destination, no community in Southern California can surpass La Jolla for its diversity of coastal wildlife, which includes its unique mainland harbor seal rookery. Shouldn’t we protect this asset using all of our means? James Hudnall

Scratching my head ... Your last issue with back-to-back articles on the Casa Seals and the Cove pelicans illustrates a conundrum. They (seals and pelis) poop incontinently into and on our pristine environment. This is one of many dirty little secrets of enviro-mania. The pelis and the seals are cute. Therefore, they are tolerated, even favored, by a book of regulations. They eat when not sleeping, which negatively affects the population of unfavored species on which they dine, but never mind. Baitfish are on the menu until a bio-entrepreneur gins them up a “friends of” committee and a few UC grants. And then, of course, they defecate. They defecate 24/7, bullhorns notwithstanding, directly into the “receiving waters” of La Jolla, which are “protected” by the Regional Water Quality Control Board, a Federal agency. This is roughly the equivalent of pumping the entire flow of raw sewage from the City Administration Building directly into the receiving waters of Washington D.C., from whence the Water Quality Board derives its appointed (not elected) power. Of course, this would be an improvement

The card that saves lives Yellow Ribbon Week took place recently at La Jolla High, bringing awareness to the growing issue of preventative suicides. An assembly was given to juniors, while the freshmen had class presentations from members of the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program. Not only did students come out with a newfound understanding of suicide, but also with a prevention card. The card itself seemed not much more significant than a business card; however, a closer look yielded important steps and phone numbers to deal with someone having suicidal thoughts. This valuable piece of information has helped several people with severe depression find hope to live and turn their life around. Also, it has helped their friends, who knew the proper steps to take in order to prevent the loss of someone special. If you or someone you know has contemplated suicide, don’t feel shy to “use your yellow ribbon” and get real help immediately by calling 1-800-479-3339 or 1-800-273-TALK. Giovanni Moujaes La Jolla

on the output of City Hall and would enhance the atmosphere at the headwaters of enviro-mecca-U.S.A. Meanwhile, our ocean is polluted with feces and bacterial counts are soaring, but never mind. These e-coli are Federally approved, and if they make you sick, it’s the fault of some insensitive toddler who startled them out of a seal with higher authorization. And how does one talk to the Water Quality Control Board? Across three time-zones, by voice-mail, by letter, by tedious application, and with deference, that’s how you start. Then they tell you about the studies they require for the next step. You must then hire some environmental biologists (there is a list), and pay them to talk to their fellow biologists who work for other “native” species or for other departments of your government, who you also pay. Along the way, like Alice, you will meet strange characters, who are all wiser than you. You should proceed with hat, and checkbook, in hand. These biologists are fairly expensive. Some of them, depending on grants, are very well paid, although otherwise unemployable, but never mind. The pelis and the seals will keep them busy until someone runs out f money. Then you start the hearings. So, how will this eco-friendship work out for you snobs in 92037? Hopefully, you don’t get into the water or live downwind. Beasties that enjoy political support get beach-front sanctuaries with fences and paid custodians at UCSD and Washington D.C. The rest of you can go suck coliform. And don’t hold your breath, although it might be necessary, for a quick or logical conclusion. The local poop is going to pile up until the stink reaches Washington D.C., but who would know?

And, in case you wonder for whom the biobell tolls, the runoff from your driveway is now subject to Federal control, with or without feces. Don’t answer the phone. The only real solution, and it wouldn’t take long, is a bounty on biologists. Better yet, politicians. Or wannabes with bullhorns. J. Hollow La Jolla

n Instead money should be spent on improving Torrey Pines Road! As a resident of La Jolla Shores, I drive it several times a day and it’s a shame to have such a terrible road leading in and out of the Village. Additionally, this sign looks tacky and cheap. I don’t know who came up with the design, it doesn’t reflect our “Jewel” of the Sea, and if there is to be a sign it should be a low profile, ground- level sign with style and class that captures the charm of our wonderful La Jolla. I prefer to have a wellpaved road than look at something that belongs on the strip in Las Vegas. —Jacklyn James n The idea of installing a sign on the bridge is a good one, however, the messaging and look of the sign itself is not appropriate for La Jolla. Instead of “Welcome to La Jolla”, why not use it as a branding opportunity to convey La Jolla’s desired image and/or message/tag line; i.e.La Jolla by the Sea? —Dana Williams n I find this idea distasteful. This would be the beginning of a change from tourist destination to tourist trap. La Jolla is a lovely community on its own and this (sign) does nothing to enhance that. I think we would be shooting ourselves in the foot by adding this even if someone has generously offered to pay for it. It would certainly move us away from the Village ambiance. —Elizabeth Rice Maget

Country Day boys capture section title against Parker By Phil Dailey he La Jolla Country Day boys basketball team didn’t exactly appear to be the best Division IV school in San Diego County heading into the postseason, but they sure did when it mattered. After finishing third in the Coastal South standings, the Torreys were expected by many to compete in the San Diego Section championships, but to take home the title seemed to be a long shot after they were seeded third behind Army-Navy and Francis Parker. None of that mattered to this group of boys, who not only beat Army-Navy in the CIF semifinals, but blew out No. 1-seeded Francis Parker in the finals, a team they lost to twice — once by 22 and another by 18 — during the regular season. During the Division IV final last weekend at the Jenny Craig Pavilion, it appeared as though the Torreys would suffer the same fate as the Lancers came out ready to play, dominating the first 13 minutes of the game. But Country Day held on to only trail at the break, 24-20. “We weren’t defending like we know we can defend,” said Ryan Meier, now in his sixth season as the Torreys’ head coach. “It was our first time here, it was kinda a shock-value type of thing and we had to respond. We were doing just enough to hang around a little bit.” But whatever transpired in the lockeroom at halftime, the message was received by the Torreys as they dominated the third quarter with a 22-3 run that proved to be the difference as

the team captured their first ever Division IV basketball title in convincing fashion, 57-40. “We knew the first half there were going to be jitters, we were going to be rattled,” Meier said. “But the second half, the guys said, ‘We need to play (defense) better than this.’ ” The defense was key to slowing the Lancers, but so was the offense. On the game, Sage Burmieister led the Torreys with 16 points while Frank Bamford went for 14. “The defense definitely generate the offense,” Meier said. “When they feel good about defending they get a different kind of energy and more confidence on their shots, and that definitely played a part in it.” What looked to be like another defeat against Francis Parker turned into a one-sided affair as the Torreys simply kept the pressure on the Lancers for the final eight minutes of the game, cruising to the championship. “It definitely was the goal to win CIF. We got a good group of boys. My five starters have been together since they were in third grade,” Meier said. “It was their goal to cap their career with a banner in the gym, a CIF championship. “This is a great accomplishment even getting here, but they wanted to win.” Francis Parker standout Dalente Dunklin, who will play next season at UC Santa Barbara, was held to only 13 points.

UC San Diego women earn No. 1 seed in NCAA Regionals After recording an overall record of 28-2 and winning a third California Collegiate Athletic Association regular season title in the last four years, the UC San Diego women’s basketball team was awarded the No. 1 seed in the 2012 NCAA Division II West Regional Field, it was announced on Sunday. The top-ranked Tritons will host the eightteam West Regional beginning Friday and face No. 8 seed Chico State in a first round matchup at 7:30 p.m. at RIMAC Arena. The winner of the Triton-Wildcat clash will advance to face the winner of No. 4 seed Western Washington (21-7) and fifth-seeded Cal State Monterey Bay (21-8) in the semifinals on Saturday. Friday’s other two first round matchups will feature No. 3 seed Grand Canyon (23-3)

against No. 6 Cal Poly Pomona (19-8) and No. 2 seed Alaska Anchorage (27-4) vs. No. 7 Cal State L.A. (18-11). The two West Regional Semifinal games are scheduled for 5 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 10, with the regional championship game following at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 12. The winner of the West Regional Championship will move on to face the winner of

the Midwest Region in the Elite Eight on March 20 in San Antonio, Texas. UCSD went 2-0 against Chico State during the regular season, defeating the Wildcats, 9791, in double overtime on January 7 in Chico, before claiming the rematch by a final margin of 93-76 on Feb. 10 in La Jolla. The Wildcats enter the NCAA Tournament with an overall record of 18-10 after losing to Cal State Mon-

terey Bay in the CCAA Tournament. The Otters went on to claim their second straight conference tournament championship with a thrilling 71-69 victory over Cal State L.A. on Saturday. UC San Diego owns a 6-6 record in six previous NCAA Tournament appearances at the Division II level, including a trip to the Final Four in 2007. The Tritons were knocked out in the first round in their last West Regional appearance, losing a 76-72 decision to CCAA rival Humboldt State in Seattle in 2010. UCSD, which was left out of the West Regional picture last season, will have plenty of motivation when it takes the floor on Friday after being upset by CSULA on its home floor in the CCAA Tournament Semifinals this week.

LJYB shines on 60th Opening Day By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball Saturday was a picture-perfect day for LJYB’s 60th Opening Day. For the very first time, all of the brand new Padre uniforms were on display and it was a sight to behold. Hundreds of kids in 20 different uniform styles were checking out the goods on the other teams and it was fun and festive. LJYB President Jim Benham served as Master of Ceremonies for the brief program at noon. When San Diego Padres President Tom Garfinkel arrived with the Swinging Friar and the Pad Squad, he had a fun surprise for everyone — Cy Young Award winning pitcher Randy Jones was in the house! Between the Friar and Randy Jones, they must have posed for a hundred photos with players — and their parents! Benham did a nice job of welcoming and thanking all of the families who do so much for the kids and to support the La Jolla baseball community. Garfinkel spoke further about the Youth Baseball Initiative that he spearheaded on behalf of the Padres that resulted in 11,000 kids in San Diego all wearing Padres uniforms for the 2012 season — which is a first in Major League Baseball. Following a beautiful acapella performance of The Star Spangled Banner by La Jolla High student Vaill D’Angelo, Garfinkel was invited back to the mound to throw out the ceremonial First Pitch. According to Chip Murphy, who played on the 1954 LJ Contractors team and served as Tom’s catcher, it was a strike on the outside corner — “with some mustard on it!” Jackson and Harrison Garfinkel closed out the ceremony with the two words everyone loves to hear at a game — “Play Ball!” Before the kids took the field, everyone in uniform — coaches, players and Padres’ representatives – posed for a memorable league photo. Moments later, everyone was treated to a surprise flyover with a bi-plane sent by Barnstorm Adventures, who proceeded to circle the fields and with a tip of the wings, waved at everyone below. In all, there were 20 baseball games played on

Saturday and even though it is early in the season, the Sports Center highlight reel was active — especially in Pinto. The first home run of the season was recorded by Alex Brown to lead Sector 9 over Retirement Benefits Group by a 19-14 margin. Nathan Latimer and Christian Nava led the RAK team to a 10-7 win against SD Pools with three triples and an inside-the-park homer between them. Johnny Leutzow hit two insidethe-park HRs plus a triple on behalf of Voices for Children against Herringbone Restaurant (note: they hope to open their new restaurant on Fay in April!) Devan Dooling went 4-4 with 8 RBI’s to lead Solis Chiropractic’s potent offense in

their 20-7 victory over Garden Communities. Around town, Rubio’s hosted a successful fundraiser for LJYB on Wednesday, Feb. 29 that was very well attended. The league promises not to wait until the next Leap Year to schedule another event with them. This Sunday the Brickyard Cages will again host LJYB for an afternoon of hitting at their state-of-the-art facilities. This is also a fund-raiser for the league and with the free cage time from 3 to 8 p.m., a big a turnout is expected. Parents should check the LJYB web site for specific times in each division.

Padres extend contract with spring training facility through 2034 The city of Peoria, Ariz., announced Monday a new longterm lease agreement with the San Diego Padres keeping the Peoria Sports Complex as the teams’ spring training and player development home up to 2034. The stadium is also the spring training home of the Seattle Mariners. “Coming to an agreement with the two teams was a top priority for the city,” said city of Peoria Mayor, Bob Barrett. “The Mariners and Padres are a big part of Peoria’s history, and I am proud that we were able to keep the two teams in a sustainable and fiscally responsible manner which benefits everyone.” The Peoria Sports Complex, built in 1994, was the first dual team spring training facility in the Cactus League. The San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners utilize the complex year-round for spring training and player development. The term of the agreement between the city and the teams is for 20 years. As part of the agreement, the city will invest $48 million over the life of the contract, which includes an initial investment of $15 million each for improvements in the Mariners and Padres clubhouses ($30 million total) and $6 million in stadium improvements. Construction of clubhouses is expected to be completed by spring of 2014.

From Hoops, A20 Girls team also wins title The Country Day girls, as expected, cruised to the title after topping The Bishop’s School, 64-39. The Torreys (28-1 overall) were led by Malina Hood’s 20 points, while her sister Maya added 13 points and 19 rebounds. During the tournament, the girls team was not tested much, beating Christian 78-17 and Horizon 74-34 before topping the Knights in the final. USA Today ranks the Torreys as the No. 9 team in the nation this week. Moving forward The Country Day boys team was seeded 6th in the state tournament and will face Cantwell Sacred Heart (Montebello), a team that went 25-6 on the season. That game was played Wednesday night at LJCD. “I think we want to go out and definitely represent the county, I think we’re competitive and we have played a really tough schedule,” Meier said. “We want to get out to the (Los Angeles area) schools and the Southern Section schools and really compete and really show that San Diego has some really good basketball.” As for the girls’ team, the Torreys were seeded No. 1 in the state tournament in the Southern California Bracket. They will get a first-round bye and await the winner between Elizabeth Learning Center (Cundahy) and Campbell Hall (North Hollywood). That game is at La Jolla Country Day on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Bishop’s School, which lost to Country Day in the section finals, also advances to the state tournament.

Shoot for the Stars

Gabriel Lawrence, left, and Regan Linton COURTESY

Two UCSD acting students triumph over adversity to reach their dreams By Will Bowen very day should be extraordinary,” claims Regan Linton, 30, a second-year student in the MFA acting program at UC San Diego. Linton is herself quite extraordinary — she is the first person with a disability admitted into the program. Ten years ago, the car Linton was riding in was rear-ended on Interstate 10 in L.A., while

she was a student at USC film school. Linton’s spinal cord was injured and she became paralyzed from the chest down. But Linton doesn’t like the value-loaded and sometimes judgmental term “disability,” rather she says, “I have a

different physicality,” which she is learning to know better and adjust to. It is a more equalitarian way of looking at things, an “I am mine,” response to the societal coercion to see things in certain preconceived ways. “We are all different and we

need to accept our differences. We are not all cookies made from the same cookie-cutter,” she said. Linton was born and raised in a musical family, “a bunch of hams,” she said.

LOCAL STARS SHINE AT ANNUAL HEART GALA BENEFIT

Sandra Bernhard brings her highoctane show ‘I Love Being Me, Don’t You?’ to the Playhouse, March 14-17. Courtesy

By Diana Saenger For years, performer Sandra Bernhard has marched to her own drumbeat. A comedian, actress, screenwriter, author, singer and producer of her one-woman shows, Bernhard has entertained, shocked, amused, and angered audiences across the country. La Jolla Playhouse patrons will get to experience Bernhard’s muse when she brings her new show, “I Love Being Me, Don’t You?” to town, March 14-17. The Playhouse design teams are going all out for Bernhard’s energetic cabaret concert that features comedy, monologues and her

usual riff. A unique performance space is being created in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre to resemble a 1920s supper club with multi-level platforms, banquettes, and beverages and refreshments for purchase. Bernhard started her performance career at The Comedy Store in the 1970s. Her shows include: “Without You I’m Nothing,” (also a feature film that she wrote), “Excuses for Bad Behavior,” “Giving ‘Til It Hurts,” “Hero Worship,” “The Love Machine” and “Everything Bad and Beautiful.”

TRUE OR FALSE? Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 11. True! Most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time. In the U.S., 2 a.m. was originally chosen as the changeover time because it was practical and minimized disruption. Most people were at home and this was the time when the fewest trains were running. It is late enough to minimally affect bars and restaurants, and it prevents the day from switching to yesterday, which would be confusing. It is early enough that the entire continental U.S. switches by daybreak, and the changeover occurs before most early shift workers and early churchgoers are affected. — webexhibits.org

An artist’s life celebrated at Oceanside Museum of Art By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Dennis Batt (1952-2012) would have loved being at his memorial, a celebration of his life at Oceanside Museum of Art that brought together hundreds of artists, art-lovers, and FODs (Friends Of Dennis) on Feb. 25, nearly a month after his unexpected death from a heart attack in his Carlsbad home. The event featured many of the things the gregarious artist/arts coordinator enjoyed: DIY art-making, fashion, street theater, bellydancing, food, drink, music, a virtual art show, and most of all, a sense of community. There was plenty of laughter, and some tears, as people recalled what Dennis had meant to them. “I just don’t know what to do without him,” said Ian Ashley. “He’s been such a big part of what I do.” Her grand-scale events at the House of the Future were collaborations with Dennis, and she wore a bracelet she had made as a tribute to him.

Wishing there were a cure for doctor worship

Let Inga tell you ... Given the number of doctors in La Jolla, it’s probably not surprising that I would count among my friends a certain number of fellow exwives of physicians. Virtually all of us have remarried (as have our former spouses) and I’m happy to say that despite early rancor, we all have good relationships with them now. At a recent lunch, we were reflecting on our lives when we first divorced. Overnight his status as a single doctor soared while ours as single mothers tanked to reptilian

levels. But what irked us more than anything was what the exes could get away with that we couldn’t. We were up against some serious doctor worship. After my physician husband and I divorced, I went back into the workplace in an entry-level job and with a custody schedule written in stone. My ex solved the problem of soccer practice on his custody day by charming the female soccer coach — whom he didn’t know from Adam — into taking our son home with her after practice and keeping him until the child could be picked up. She was glad to do it, she told me reverently. “He’s a busy doctor, you know.” When the ex brought the kids to a birthday party in mismatched clothes, jam on their faces, rumpled hair, and bedroom slippers, the

other moms all thought it was adorable. If I’d done that, there would have been anonymous calls to Social Services. Even the school perennially suffered from what I could only refer to as felony physician fawning. Our divorce decree had stipulated that if the kids were sick on Monday, Thursday or Friday, it was my problem. Since Tuesday night was the ex’s weekday custody night, Tuesday and Wednesdays were his days to make arrangements. Like that ever happened. One long ago Monday in December, I called the ex and alerted him that the kids had been home with temperatures of 103º and obviously wouldn’t be able to go to school the next day. He says OK. The next morning he comes to get them. At 10 a.m., I get a call at

work from the school’s office staff. They’re not happy. “Your children are much too sick to be in school today.” Inga (puzzled): “I know. That’s why I called them in absent this morning.” “But they’re standing right here.” “They can’t be.” “They are. Do you want to talk to them?” Inga: “No, but I’d love to talk to their father, whom you’re supposed to call on Tuesdays and Wednesdays per the instructions we gave.” “We already did, but his office says he’s unavailable.” (Pause.) “He is a doctor, you know.” Inga (drily): “Yes, I’ve seen the diploma. I’ll call you right back.” Ex’s answering service: “I’m sorry, but Doctor is teaching this morning and left strict instructions not to

be disturbed.” Inga: (Did they think they were dealing with an amateur?) “Tell ‘Doctor’ to get on the phone right now or I’ll be over in five minutes to blow up his frigging office.” Seconds later: Ex: “Hi Inga. My answering service said a distraught psychiatric patient was on the line and that I might need to evacuate the building. So I knew it had to be you.” Inga: “You took the kids to school!” Ex: “Well, once I got them in the car, they didn’t look that sick to me.” Inga: “The perception of illness in a family member has never been within your visual or auditory capabilities. I pumped them full of Tylenol an hour before you came but they’re still really sick.”

Ex: “Gee, this is a problem. I’m teaching all day. If you could just help me out today, I promise I’ll never do this to you again.” Inga: “Except that this is already the fourth time!” Ex: “Oops, gotta go! You’re the best! Bye!” (School again:) “Henri just threw up on the office floor. These children really need to go home. Oh, and they’re crying.” As I picked them up from school a short time later, the secretary enthused, “It must be wonderful for the children to have a doctor for a father. Especially when they’re sick.” “Yup,” I said, “I couldn’t be more grateful.” Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 fitness and nutrition back into all of our elementary schools. Our YMCA is woven into strong partnerships with neighborhood schools with a goal of mobilizing resources to reestablish these needed activities to all children. What inspires you? I’m inspired by working alongside my current and past board chairs, who are committed to our Y and creating a healthy and caring environment, while working together as a team to achieve our common goals. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? I would invite John Lennon because I love the Beatles, Michelangelo because he is truly God’s own artist, Beethoven for the love of classical music, Pope John Paul II to bless our meal, Anne Frank because of her optimistic spirit, Jane Goodall to study our behavior, Rosa Parks to show us the great power of ordinary people, and Mother Teresa to show us the power of devotion and compassion. What are your five favorite movies? “The Champ,” which gets me crying every time; “Sergeant York,” which portrays a hero against fighting; “The Ten Commandments,” which is just a great story; “The

Green Mile,” which speaks of a compassionate heart; and “Pirates of the Caribbean,” for its fun action. What is your most marked characteristic? I am very persistent and patient, which go hand-in-hand with the overall development of our La Jolla YMCA. Our strong core of committed volunteers and staff has been steady in how we managed and progressed our Y over the years. We have been very persistent in providing sound programs and activities for people to have fun, learn, and play in a safe and enjoyable environment. What do you do for fun? I enjoy spending weekends with my wife and family. I love taking hikes on San Diego trails, seeing concerts in the park, and relaxing on hot, summer days at the beach. I also get satisfaction from remodeling my home. Describe your greatest accomplishment. I’m proud that, year in and year out, I’ve been able to be a part of the YMCA and its positive effects on thousands of La Jolla families, including my own. What’s your philosophy on life? I believe that a spirit of cooperation accomplishes more than a spirit of competition.

Rep to tackle border-related tensions in ‘Tortilla Curtain’ By Pat Sherman Following on the heels of La Jolla Playhouse’s production of “American Night: The Ballad of Juan José,” San Diego Repertory Theatre will further examine the dreams, fears and apprehensions surrounding Southern California’s transborder experience with a stage adaptation of “The Tortilla Curtain.” The production, based on T.C. Boyle’s gripping novel of the same name, explores the issue of illegal immigration through the viewpoint of two couples living in close proximity to each other in Topanga Canyon. They include the affluent and idealistic Kyra and Delaney Mossbacher, and Cándido Rincón and his pregnant wife, América, homeless immigrants camping in the canyon below the Mossbacher’s gated community. As the story unfolds, Cándido and América, who entered the U.S. illegally via the so-called “Tortilla Curtain,” unwittingly and repeatedly collide with the Mossbachers as they search for work and an apartment to raise their child. The resulting miscommunication and misunderstanding between the couples begins to challenge Delaney’s liberal worldview. “He goes through such a radical transformation,” said playwright Matthew Spangler, who adapted the novel for the stage. “At the beginning of the book he’s a liberal environmentalist and takes all the liberal, progressive lines on almost any issue you can imagine, but by the end of the book he’s sort of the neighborhood vigilante trying to hunt down Cándido with a gun.” Though each of the characters goes through a psychic shift, the Rep’s artistic director, Sam Woodhouse, said Delaney’s is the most pronounced. “It’s not so much (a shift in) who he his, but what he is capable of doing,” Woodhouse said. Before paring Boyle’s 355page novel down to a 90minute script, Spangler had discussions with the author, whose works also include “Drop City,” and “The Road to Wellville,” which became a film staring Anthony Hopkins and Matthew Broderick. In both the novel and the

If you go ■ What: ‘Tortilla Curtain’ ■ When: 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays, March 17-April 8 ■ Where: Lyceum Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego ■ Tickets: $32-$57 ■C ontact: (619) 544-1000 ■ Web: sdrep.org play, immigration is addressed from three distinct viewpoints, that of Mr. and Mrs. Rincón, and Delaney Mossbacher. “I found that really exciting, so I’ve written the script as monologues,” Spangler said. “Three main characters speak directly to the audience, so you’re constantly shifting points of view.” Through the course of the fast-moving “Tortilla Curtain,” the Rep has the challenge of delivering a rape, car accident, forest fire and landslide. “It’s a tricky piece to adapt,” said Spangler, who teaches playwriting and immigration studies at San Jose State University. “There are these epic things that happen, but I think that’s kind of the magic of theatre, because so much of that will ultimately happen in the audience’s imaginations.” Spangler and Woodhouse both read the novel shortly after its 1995 release, envisioning it as a play. “Immigration is a topic that gets a lot of political discourse in our society, but I think there’s relatively little

of that in art, and especially in theatre,” Spangler said. For Woodhouse, one of the most evocative passages in the book is Boyle’s description of coyotes howling in the canyon. “It’s an extraordinarily evocative sound,” he said. “It’s sensual and scary and seductive and primitive and wise all at the same time. The coyote is a metaphor for a lot of things. … It’s that bugle call of change.” Spangler, who also adapted T.C. Boyle’s short story, “Killing Babies,” for the stage, said the author’s literary voice and use of dark humor lends itself nicely to the theater. “Almost all of his works rely on a kind of a satirical, dark and humorous take on his characters,” Spangler said. “He’s like other writers, too, that I think work well on stage, (including) Flannery O’Connor and John Cheever.” Woodhouse noted the irony of entering 2012 with a production that highlights the struggle of the haves and have-nots, given last year’s deluge of “Occupy” demonstrations. He said he hopes the audience will walk away questioning how they would react in a situation similar to what unfolds throughout ‘Tortilla Curtain’s’ 38 scenes. The production stars Mike Sears (Delaney), Lisel Gorrell-Getz (Kyra), Vivia Font (América) and Kinan Valdez (Cándido), with music by French-Mexican musician and composer Bruno Louchouarn (“A Weekend with Pablo Picasso”).

www.lajollalight.com FROM STARS, B1 She was athletic growing up and threw herself into theater in high school, where she was also elected Head Girl (read ASB President). After her accident, Linton went back to Denver to recover. There she became part of a theater for people with disabilities called “Phamaly.” She won several awards for acting, including a Denver Post Ovation for playing Aldonsa in “Man of La Mancha.” “Phamaly gave me inner strength. It basically saved my life by pulling me out of the shell I had retreated into and helping me realize that I could be who and how I am.” Later, Linton returned to USC where she graduated with a degree in American Studies. She then decided to apply to the UCSD acting program. Linton has been in several plays at UCSD, including, “Three Penny Opera” and “Glass Menagerie,” performing all of her roles in a wheelchair. The set crew constructed special ramps to allow her access to the stage. Linton said the interdisciplinary character of the de-

vided by The Salvation Army, and at night, he often heard gunshots. A highly developed ambition for success is what makes Lawrence extraordinary. “By the time I was in the third grade, I had decided that I would do everything and anything to get out of the ghetto ... and hopefully end up being a movie star.” Lawrence said he worked hard in a number of areas but had the most success in speech/debate and power lifting. He made the nationals in both while in high school. When he was 17, he benched-pressed 274 pounds, dead lifted 578, and squat thrusted 515, to become first in the nation. Lawrence ended up with 24 scholarship offers to college. He decided on Texas A&M in Amarillo, where he earned a degree in Mass Communications. After college, Lawrence went to Los Angeles where he worked as a video editor. But he did not find his job fulfilling. “I am not getting any younger,” he thought, so he decided to pursue his dream of acting, at UCSD,

If you don’t care for it and nourish it, you will lose it.” And, “The sky is the limit but you have to shoot for the stars.” And, “Never admire another man’s swagger more than your own.” And “If you don’t go, you won’t know.” Lawrence said UCSD’s training has helped him better become the characters he plays. “I’ve learned to drop in, to embody, and go deep into how the character lives in my body, so as to be the person in a believable manner,” he explained.

Professor Kyle Donnelly is head of the MFA acting program. A director by trade, she has an uncanny ability to help students learn how to perform. “I am part of the quest for The Great American Acting Method,” she said. “I try to teach each student how to make best use of himself. I teach the students to seek the truth on stage in an honest and transparent manner. “I help them to find their own unique and improvisational way into a role, with the text as the map to guide them. We want the audience to feel as if the acting is truly happening right in front of them, for the first and only time.”

FROM PLAYHOUSE, B1 She has amassed a huge following for her work, and said she always had an unusual take on how she wanted to perform. “I’ve been an outspoken person throughout my life, and it kind of dovetailed into my performing style and what I have to say. It was never premeditated,” Bernhard said, “It just kind of came together through years and years of getting up and doing it and finding out who I was as a person and my voice as a performer.” Bernhard said she gets ideas for her one-woman shows every day of her life from travels, what’s happening politically and with pop culture, and from her friends, family, girlfriend and TV. What can patrons expect from “I Love Being Me, Don’t You?” “The entire show is crafted of oneliners, monologues, music with some original songs and some covers,” Bernhard said. “It’s all blended seamlessly together, and the stories just go in an out of the music. I never pin it down; the show is always in flux. Even though a show may keep the same title for several performances, it kind of morphs from one thing to the next.” Putting one’s all into an edgy performance like Bernhard’s requires total commitment. Her shows are full of emotional arcs — joy, anger, sarcasm, and controversy — yet her energy level always seems charged. “By cause why the petition should not be granted.

Corrigan and Cohen named Five Star Agents Susana Corrigan and Patty Cohen, of Prudential California Realty’s La Jolla office, have been named FIVE STAR: Best in Client Satisfaction Real Estate Agents for 2012. Five Star Professional partnered with San Diego Magazine to conduct research to identify a select group of real estate agents who are exceptional in both their ability and their commitment to overall satisfaction. Fewer than 7 percent of San Diego area real estate professionals were selected. To conduct the research, a survey was provided to all San Diego area residents who purchased a home over Susana Corrigan $250,000 within a 12-month period from 2010 to 2011, 7,000 subscribers of the magazine and 250 mortgage and title companies. Respondents were asked to evaluate real estate agents they

knew through personal experience and to evaluate them based on nine criteria. Both negative and positive evaluations were included in the scoring. All qualified real estate agents were screened with the California State Real Estate Commission’s database to verify that licenses were current and no disciplinary actions were pending. The final list was reviewed by a panel of local realty company executives, professional and trade association officers and others directly involved in housing-related businesses. The award winners will appear in a special section in the Patty Cohen March issue of San Diego Magazine. For additional information, contact Susana Corrigan and Patty Cohen at (858) 551-3359.

Quinoa: It’s the old/new OPEN HOMES THIS WEEKEND gluten-free super grain! Cooking Class

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

uestion: My husband and I are summer sizing to get in shape for our June vacation. I’ve noticed quinoa is the new healthy grain, popping up everywhere from divey diners to high-end eateries and even on supermarket shelves. Should I be eating it as a carb side dish or a main-course protein? What’s quinoa’s status update? Lisa S. La Jolla Answer: Lisa, darling, a plant food source like quinoa is neither fish nor fowl, making it a ticklish task to label its status. This supergrain is like a combo plate with various quantities of both protein and carbs. So you have to look at your overall carb and protein intake throughout the day to decide whether you want to convert quinoa into a carb side or a main-dish protein. Embrace its multitasking attributes — toss it in pilafs, stews, salads, stir-fries, turkey burgers or meatloaves or anywhere you want to swap out pasty, empty carbs like white flour and Styrofoam white rice for the nutritional powerhouse busting with nutty and grassy nuances. Quinoa pairs well with legumes making a fine vegan or vegetarian meal or grilled deep-sea scallops or

■ Join The Kitchen Shrink for a Passover cooking class and full seder meal, 6-8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 24, at Cups La Jolla, 7857 Girard Ave. Sign-up at (858) 459-2877 or visit cupslj.com/culinary chicken breasts for die-hard pescavores or pollitarians. Try dry roasting the seeds before cooking for a toasty, savory flavor or boil in apple or orange juice, adding a touch of sweetness ideal when adding to breakfast cereals or desserts like a quinoa “rice” pudding with dried fruit and coconut milk. Whip up muffins, breads, cookies, scones or pancakes with quinoa flour. Or go raw and sprout the seeds, topping off sandwiches or munch them straight up. Even the leaves of the quinoa plant are edible and nutrient rich, so toss with salad greens or steam like spinach, sautéed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil. Quinoa is nature’s nearly perfect and complete food packed with assorted nutrients. One cup of the cooked grain has more calcium than a quart of milk, ounce for ounce more protein than a slab of meat, eight essential amino acids along with tons of iron, vitamins A and B and phosphorous. Quinoa, pronounced “Keen-wa,” is not a true botanical grain since it’s the seed of the herb plant Chenopodium or Goosefoot. As a pseudocereal rather than a member of the grass family quinoa makes an

ideal substitute for celiacs or gluten intolerant folks. Although quinoa, a close cousin to beets and spinach, has recently arrived on the culinary radar screen as a hip grain, this Andes native has been around for centuries. A sacred staple of the Incan people since 3,000 B.C., their precious “mother grain” provided a mother lode of nutrients that fortified them to build the largest empire in preColumbian America. While over 120 species, only three are cultivated today, including the basic cream-colored seed, the crunchier, slightly bitter red variety, and the rarer black seed. You can mix and match for interesting Technicolor on your plate. And since all varieties require the same cooking time, they can be boiled together. Generally, use 1 cup of raw quinoa to 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the water is absorbed, and the beautiful seed pops, about 12 minutes. When cooked, it’s both fluffy and crunchy at the same time, showing off its characteristic shape, when the outer germ of each individual grain curves outward to form a white spiral-like tail. One word of quinoa caution: Since the seed is naturally coated with a bitter-tasting substance called saponins, to be on the safe side, simply rinse using a fine sieve before cooking. However, most quinoa (especially that sold in North America) has been processed removing this coating.
