owers Jewelers is once again dazzling holiday shoppers with its annual Dickens-era street scene set in the storefront window at 7860 Girard Ave. The display takes two weeks to install and this year’s work was done by store owners Sheila and Larry Combe with help from employees. It will stay up through Jan. 1. The Dickens Village serves as a beacon, drawing the curious into the store to delight in many more seasonal décor items and gifts. The display includes intricate details, twinkling lights and some animated pieces, including Santa Claus and his reindeer circling above the rooftops. u — Ashley Mackin

Sherri Lightner tapped for City Council President By Pat Sherman La Jolla’s own Sherri Lightner received an early holiday gift Dec. 10 when the District 1 city council representative was elected by her colleagues to replace fellow Democrat and District 3 Councilmember Todd Gloria as City Council President — a post conveyed in one-year installments (Gloria served two years as president). “I’m very excited to be the first woman council president and hope that can be used to make young women aware of what they can achieve in their lives,” Lightner told La Jolla Light Dec. 12. “I look forward to working and collaborating with my council colleagues. We have a lot of work to do here at the city.” Lightner said she is not certain whether the post will lighten or increase her workload at city hall. “Right now it’s pretty crazy, but that’s just the transition,” said the former engineer and onetime La Jolla Town Council president. While Lightner will serve on fewer committees, as president she decides which of her colleagues serve on those committees — a list she had completed by Friday, and which the council was set to vote on Monday, Dec. 15. Lighter will continue as a member of the Committee on Economic Development and City Councilmember Sherri Schuler International Relations (on which she recently Lightner, a La Jolla Shores resident, served as vice-chair), and will chair the newly was elected San Diego City Council See Lightner, A18 President Dec. 10.

Form vs Function: Designers, divers discuss Cove Pavilion blueprints By Ashley Mackin After gathering community input at a workshop in June, Taal Safdie and Ricardo Rabines of Safdie Rabines Architects unveiled proposed designs for the Cove Pavilion planned for Scripps Park, during a Dec. 8 special meeting of La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJPB). The group makes recommendations to the city’s Park & Recreation La Jolla Department, Park & Recreation Board, and other park advisory committees on matters involving La Jolla’s parks and beaches. The item was on the LJPB agenda so divers and swimmers in attendance could offer their feedback, and the discussion quickly became one of form versus function. With a focus on preserving the view corridor and improving pedestrian flow and circulation, the Cove Pavilion design includes single-sex and unisex bathroom stalls, indoor and outdoor sinks, changing rooms with interior showers, outdoor showers, water fountains, benches, a storage area and the addition of trees. Paths would also be created. The plans must also include a garbage corral, utility closet

City to hear La Jolla Shores’ list of improvements for 2016 By Ashley Mackin Eyeing the budget process beginning in January for fiscal year 2016, City Council President Sherri Lightner’s representative Justin Garver came before the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) Dec. 10 to encourage board members to create a list of community priorities for what they’d like to see included in the budget. A formal list will be created at the next meeting, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday Jan. 14. “That list can include a ranger, which has been requested in the past … or new trash cans on the south side of the park … It’s a wish list that gives us an idea of what the priorities of this group are as far as park improvements, capital improvement projects, etc...,” Garver said. Other ideas brought forward at the meeting included warning signs about stingrays at the Shores, Big Belly solarpowered trash compactors, additional trash cans, more trash pickup times during the summer, trash cans with hard-to-remove lids, additional dumpsters and signs pointing to dumpsters. “Anything within the purview of the group can be on that list,” Garver said. “So when we go through the six-month budget process, we’ll have that list as opposed to having things come up in April, May or June, when it’s not as easy to add things.” Should funding be available, the city would start at the top of the list and work down, Garver said. However, Lightner’s office will not know how much it will have
More frequent trash pickup at Kellogg Park could be on the list of improvements in the city’s 2016 budget. available until the mayor releases the annual budget in June 2015. “Sometimes we can get one item from each community funded, sometimes it’s one item for the entire district, so we don’t exactly know what we’re dealing with,” Garver explained. “We know there is a big push for infrastructure, so a lot of money is going there.” LJSA chair Tim Lucas encouraged anyone with ideas to e-mail ljsa.org@gmail.com and attend the next meeting.
In other LJSA news n Busy summer for lifeguards: At the
request of one of the LJSA members, Lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky presented statistics on lifeguard actions conducted over the summer. In July, lifeguards engaged in 6,365 preventative acts at the Shores and another 2,000 near the Scripps Pier. In August, 9,085 preventative acts took place at the Shores and 615 at the pier. In September, there were 5,650 preventative acts at the Shores and 181 at the pier, Stropky said. Although unsure if this is an increase from previous years, Stropky said he assumed so due to the ocean being warmer later into this year, increasing the number of beachgoers. Additionally, lifeguards conducted 230 rescues in July, 61 in August, 63 in September and 65 in October. However, there was a UCSD “meet the beach” event in October, where a majority of the month’s rescues took place. Lifeguards also responded to 308 medical calls in July, 83 in August and 61 in September. Stropky also reported that lifeguards are on flood alert with motorists misjudging how deep a pool of water is. “A lot of people think ‘I can drive through that’ and get caught in a flood situation,” he said. “It only takes one foot of moving water to move a vehicle and barricades are there for a reason.” n Police add patrols: Responding to last month’s request for more police presence at the Shores, city rep Garver reported that Lightner’s office has been “working closely with police to increase the frequency of patrols in and around Kellogg
Park,” and will continue to do so. He added that it’s a slow time of year, but police expect an increase in activity, as spring break gets closer. LJSA secretary Dolores Donovan, who frequents the park, said there has been a “notable increase in police presence.” n Beautifying efforts to begin: Chair Lucas said the La Jolla Shores Merchant’s Association, (chiefly Surf Diva owner Izzy Tihanyi) is looking for ideas to beautify Laureate Park. Early thoughts include planting trees, but due to the sewer infrastructure underneath the park, nothing too deep could be planted. Those with ideas are encouraged to attend the next LJSA meeting. n Cell tower discussion rescheduled: Also at its next meeting, LJSA will hear a presentation from Verizon, which is seeking a Site Development Permit, Coastal Development Permit, Neighborhood Development Permit and a Neighborhood Use Permit for a new Wireless Communication Facility at Allen Field. The proposal (originally on the December agenda) is for two antennas concealed inside two 30-foot tall replacement light standards (one antenna per pole), and an associated equipment structure. n Next Meeting: La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6:30 p.m. Wednesday Jan. 14 at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Building T-29, 8840 Biological Grade.

La Jolla piano store owner charged with 14 felonies By Pat Sherman The owner of Bird Rock-based Schroeder Piano has been charged with 14 felony counts that include fraud, grand theft and elder abuse (the later charge stemming from the fact that many of his alleged victims were at least 65 years old). Longtime La Jollan Thomas Hull, the first dean of UC San Diego’s Revelle College and one of the alleged victims listed in the complaint filed by the district attorney’s office, said he and his late wife placed a piano on consignment with store owner Peter Schroeder in 2009, after Hull’s wife was diagnosed with cancer. Hull said the piano was a Steinway grand Model L built in 1928 or 1929 — an heirloom that belonged to his wife’s mother, which he said had been independently appraised at $38,000-$40,000. “At the time, he said he was going to ask $35,000 for it,” Hull said, adding Schroeder later told him he had received a down payment of 10 percent on the piano and would pay Hull the rest of the money when he received it. Hull said he was later told the sale fell through and the down-payment was returned, though Hull said Schroeder never returned his piano. “We kind of let it slide for a while,” Hull said. “When my wife died in February and my daughter was here I was trying to wrap up some things, so I went down to the (store) and luckily caught him in his place of business, which is unusual.” Hull said Schroeder told him he had sold the piano for $13,000 — though he would
In this 2013 photo, Peter Schroeder plays a piano he told La Jolla Light was used in concert by Leonard Bernstein. Later that year, Schroeder contacted the Light to say he was looking to sell his business to someone who would keep it in Bird Rock. Pat Sherman have to confirm the figure and get back to him. But Schroeder never did, Hull said. Returning to the store again, Hull said he was told by a woman named Lisa (whom Hull said is Schroeder’s daughter) that he is “an honest man” and would pay him. In June, Hull received a cashier’s check for $2,000. Hull said Schroeder’s wife told another reporter that amount constituted 25 percent of what he was owed. “I’m assuming from that, that he’s trying to claim he sold the piano for $13,000 and that $8,000 was my share … but I’ve never heard anymore from her or never had anymore contact with him,” Hull said. “I’ve written a number of letters to him and they all come back undeliverable. I’ve not been able to get in touch with him.” In September, Jesse Jacobs, a pastor at San

Diego-based Grace Church, told 10 News Schroeder also never paid the church for the sale of its piano. Lance Pelky, one of Hull’s earlier victims, who also left a piano on consignment with Schroeder, said he was eventually compensated for his piano after he took his story to KUSITV’s consumer troubleshooter, Michael Turko. Pelky said he has nevertheless continued to lead the charge to expose Schroeder’s practices. “I can track one of the victims back as far as 19 years. This isn’t someone who maybe ran out of money. It’s my feeling there are tons more victims out there and we need to strike while the iron is hot. “He never presents a bill of sale that I’m aware of,” Pelky added. “Not only is the customer getting screwed, if that’s happening, but what about the Board of
Equalization and the IRS … the taxes?” Hull said he’d like his wife’s piano back, or to be fairly compensated, though doesn’t expect that to happen. “If somehow he and his wife and daughter are all put out of business and couldn’t come back in six months under another name or corporation and start the same stuff all over again, I would be fairly well satisfied,” Hull said. n Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood said Schroeder’s next court appearance is Jan. 13, Dept 29 in San Diego Superior Court, 220 W. Broadway. Anyone who feels they have been similarly scammed by Schroeder Piano can phone Greenwood in the elder abuse department of the San Diego County District Attorney’s office at (619) 531-4300. u

Merchants discuss 2015 priorities, recycling truck problem La Jolla Village Merchants Association
Heather Vrana, a fulltime employee in the LJVMA’s Information Center at 1162 Prospect St., helps Delsa and Joseph Charbonnet of Slidell, Louisiana, find fun things to do in the Village via a tourist map provided at the center (the couple was in La Jolla for their son’s wedding). Moving forward, Vrana will be giving five-minute updates on the Information Center during monthly LJVMA meetings. Photos by Pat Sherman the group was able to get more merchants to file their business tax certificate (or business license) with the city and pay the associated La Jolla BID assessment (which helps fund the LJVMA and its efforts to promote business in the Village). An annual report released just prior to the Dec. 10 meeting noted that, as a result of those efforts, the group’s average annual monthly BID assessments increased from a low of $12,000 per month to $26,308 in August. However, LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said there are still more than 600

businesses within La Jolla’s BID that haven’t filed their business tax certificate, nor paid their assessment. “I think we’ve grown our merchant base significantly,” Fortune said, adding that by getting more businesses to file their tax certificates the LJVMA has been recognized as a model for the city’s other BID groups in conducting such outreach. “I’m going to be leading a group for the city to now challenge the tax office to go after business tax monies — properly. It’s all about educating the merchants and potential
s
By Pat Sherman In its fourth year, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) is faced with an ongoing conundrum: most business owners within the La Jolla Business Improvement District (BID) have only a tangential sense of what the group does and, as board member Billy Borja of Orange Theory Fitness noted during the group’s December meeting, when he reached out to business owners in his area this year, many did not even know the group exists. Thus, the organization the City of San Diego contracts with to manage fees assessed on merchants within La Jolla’s BID, is making “education” one of its primary objectives for 2015. This and other plans for the coming year were discussed during the LJVMA’s strategic planning meeting Dec. 10 at the Cuvier Club. Through its “Block Captain Program,” by which board members go door-to-door in their respective areas speaking with merchants about the LJVMA and collecting data on what businesses have opened and closed,
merchants and maybe formulating a new system for the City of San Diego, which Mayor Faulconer is very much open to.” The LJVMA hopes to create synergy from the cachet that several commercial projects in the works will add to La Jolla’s commercial district, including the soon-toopen La Plaza La Jolla boutique shopping center, a three-story structure at Wall Street and Girard Avenue that sat mostly vacant when Jack’s nightclub complex closed in 2009. Other projects include a seven-screen cinema complex under construction on Fay Avenue (formerly Jonathan’s Market) and La Jolla Music Society’s future concert hall, which will go in directly across the street on Fay. Fortune and newly elected board member Elsie Arredondo (of Monarch Gallery) said they would like to create a system to woo high-end or more appropriate businesses for the Village. The program would involve putting together a database and marketing package that can be presented to potential retailers or restaurateurs, with demographic and other information about the Village and specific regions in which they may consider opening shop (possibly in concert with local real estate brokers). “How do we bring businesses that we want to attract to La Jolla, rather than just letting whoever can sign the lease and pay a couple months rent come in and see how it goes?” Fortune posited. LJVMA board president Claude-Anthony Marengo said it would be preferable for the group to create its own database of

www.lajollalight.com information about the Village, noting that project applicants for an Alzheimer’s care facility presented information at a recent La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting that painted a “bleak” picture of the Village’s commercial health. Fortune said the applicant’s strategy was to make it appear that, “ ‘Nothing else will ever go into this building … (so) you should be happy that we’re even thinking about (opening) a business here because of your occupancy levels in La Jolla.’ “We don’t need attitude,” Fortune said. “If that were the attitude then Jack’s would never be anything again and we wouldn’t have this beautiful new La Plaza that’s coming into it.” Marengo said the group should work to more concretely define loosely branded areas of the Village, such as its cultural, arts and design districts. “(Those) could be enhanced and highlighted more to attract new business ... and show them, ‘Look, we’ve got a new arts center; we have a new theater. Come in on the ground floor. This is how it’s going to happen,’ ” Marengo said. He further noted his push to have LJVMA signage in the windows of vacant spaces that would provide potential renters with tastefullydisplayed, useful information about zoned uses and specs for available spaces, as well as contact info for the LJVMA to help potential renters navigate the city permitting process. Fortune said the empty, dark storefront of the former Burns Drugs space and other vacancies are unsightly and often trash-strewn. Borja said it would help to reach out to landlords and let them know that beautifying their spaces will make them

more attractive to potential tenants. Although business owners such as the Grande Colonial Hotel and Warwicks Bookstore have gone to great lengths to beautify their sidewalks and storefronts, Marengo reported, “a lot of building owners are not walking the sidewalks every year. If we could just share that vision. … say we’ve priced this out and have buying power … then, when someone goes to do some of these items, they can go to the Merchants Association to get a better price.”
In other LJVMA news n It was noted that LJVMA board member Richard Walker (of Richard Walker’s Pancake House) will take over from James Niebling as head of the design committee, which manages LJVMA’s hanging flower basket program, holiday lights, banners and memorial benches. n Items to revisit: The group also discussed reviving its Haute La Jolla Nights live music and shopping events in the Village, which were suspended for 2014 due to a lack of participation and complaints about the events’ configuration. Fortune said the group will also seek more sponsors for a fundraising “La Jolla-opoly” board game, which earlier this year failed to garner the interest and support a similar board game did for Ocean Beach’s BID group. Fortune’s annual report noted the group is working with Fashion Week San Diego to bring that event to the Village (possibly holding it on a section of Wall Street), as a signature LJVMA event.
n 2014 audit: Fortune said the LJVMA yearly audit was almost complete and would be discussed during the group’s January meeting, and be available online prior to that on the group’s website, lajollabythesea.com n Marketing 101: The group also hopes to launch a monthly “Marketing 101 Roundtable Education Group” to help inform merchants of marketing, public relations and social media resources. n Recycling woes: During the meeting, Park Row resident John Brice asked the LJVMA for its help cracking down on a “years-old” and “possibly illegal” beer and libation bottle recycling business operating in a residential neighborhood, just off Prospect Street (taking advantage of bins full of recyclable bottles at restaurants and bars). “We all support recycling when done correctly,” Brice told the group, though adding, “this is not being done correctly. Every day multiple pickup trucks full of empty beer bottles are parked for hours, sometimes all day and overnight, on Silverado Street, Park Row and
other Village streets. “At various times, often as early as 6 a.m., the bottles are moved from one pickup to a larger truck. The process makes a very loud racket and wakes up the neighborhood. And during this process the street is partially blocked by various trucks that are doubleparked, parked in red (zones) and/or blocking residential driveways. … “We request that these businesses not work with this recycler until they conduct themselves with respect to residents — and until it is determined if it is a legal, licensed businesses that has the right (or is zoned) to conduct such activity on residential streets.” Marengo said he would create a flier “to let the owners of the restaurants know that by not locking their recycling trash cans, (they) are being pillaged. “Now, some of the restaurants, you have to understand, don’t mind being pillaged, because they get charged for the removal of the glass from the container,” Marengo noted, adding business owners may not be aware of the noise and disturbance to nearby residents. u

Senate-approved bill would allow veterans’ group to buy Soledad cross
The Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial in La Jolla could soon have subtle night-time lighting to illuminate its many steps and the U.S. flag. Ashley Mackin believes this proposal “has the potential to be a permanent solution. “That’s my hope,” he said. “I think the solution is reasonable and answers the question of the separation of church and state. … It absolutely gets the government out of owning a cross.” Kellogg said during the past several decades the memorial association has
proven its dedication to use the site to honor veterans. “I don’t think (the transfer) is something that could be characterized anymore as a pretext (to show favoritism to a religion),” he said. Bailey called the legislative provision a bipartisan effort, noting Democratic Sen. Diane Feinstein’s efforts to advocate for the bill. “She was the spearhead on the Senate
end of this,” Bailey said, adding Feinstein called for the association to pay “fair appraised value” for property, rather than fair market value — a key distinction. The legislation stipulates that the property is to be used in perpetuity as a war memorial. “That is what I believe is going to be the difference (from) what we did in the past and what the courts will see now,” Bailey said of previous transfer attempts. “As a memorial, does it have the same value as if it were a commercial piece of property — certainly not.” Bailey estimated that the land would be appraised for somewhere around $1 million. In 1992, San Diego voters approved selling the cross and surrounding land to the memorial association, but a federal judge later voided the sale, saying it wasn’t open to competitive bidding. In 1998, the veterans group bought the land as the highest bidder, although the 9th Circuit ruled the sale unconstitutional, saying the city gave the association the upper hand in the deal. Should the president sign the bill into law, which would go into effect Jan. 1, Kellogg is crossing his fingers that the courts won’t nix the cross transfer this time. “Obviously, that’s a risk, but we’re certainly hoping that that doesn’t happen again,” he said. Jim McElroy, an attorney representing atheist Steve Trunk in his suit against the government, said it is too soon to say whether details of the transfer will satisfy
s
By Pat Sherman Members of the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association are hoping the third time’s the charm in their quest to purchase the halfacre site on which its veterans memorial and contentious cross are situated, atop Mount Soledad in La Jolla. The private group built the concrete cross in 1954 and has maintained the memorial since, adding some 3,600 veterans memorial plaques over the years. It currently maintains the land for the U.S. Navy. Last week, the House and Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Bill, a $585 billion military spending bill that included the land-transfer provision by Rep. Duncan Hunter Jr. (R-Alpine). It authorizes the Defense Department to sell the land and transfer the cross to the memorial association. The president has 10 days to sign the bill, which association President and CEO Bruce Bailey said he is hopeful the commander-in-chief will do. “It’s very encouraging to believe that after 25 years all of this litigation is hopefully over,” Bailey told La Jolla Light. The issue has bounced around in the courts for nearly three decades. In 2011, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the presence of the cross on federal land constituted the government’s endorsement of a religion. La Jolla’s Bill Kellogg, who was president and chair of the memorial association when the previous two land-transfer attempts were derailed in the courts, told the Light he

all parties involved — particularly how much the association will pay for the land. However, on Dec. 12 McElroy told U-T San Diego, he was optimistic. “Our point from the very beginning is it’s just not constitutional to have a 43-foot, 20-ton cross on government property,” he said. “We stuck to our guns and we proved our point, and now if we can get something worked out that makes sense, let’s do it.” Bailey, himself a retired lawyer, said he knows McElroy well and will do his best to work with him on a deal amenable to both parties. “We have our differences of opinion sometimes,” Bailey said, with a laugh, “although we’re still friends. … I’ll call him and say, ‘let’s sit down and talk.’ ” Bailey said he is not sure who will conduct the appraisal, though he said the association would start a fundraising campaign to purchase the land. “I am very confident that with the support we have and the people who want the memorial to stay where it is, as it is, we will be able to raise those funds,” he said. “That’s pretty much what we’re going to have to do.” Lighting the flag and memorial steps Bailey said transfer of the land from the Department of Defense to the memorial association would also free the group to bring electricity up to site, so it could light the steps and flag at night, increasing safety and reducing the need to lower and raise the flag daily. In 2012 the association conducted lighting tests to determine a level that wouldn’t create light pollution and that would be acceptable to the community,
“
I think the solution is reasonable and answers the question of the separation of church and state. It absolutely gets the government out of owning a cross.
”
— Bill Kellogg Former president/chair of Mt. Soledad Memorial Association though Bailey said the Navy preferred that the association remain low-key, and hold off on those plans. With electricity, the association also plans to add a kiosk to help visitors locate memorial plaques, access the association’s website and make donations. Earlier this year, the group emblazoned its name in large letters across one of the granite walls, featuring the seals of each branch of the U.S. military. “Instead of a regional memorial, we’re trying to make this a national (site). We want people who are in Washington, D.C. saying, ‘We want to go (to San Diego) to see the zoo, Midway Museum and Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial,” Bailey said. u
Lights out on La Jolla Boulevard
T
wo street lights near a crosswalk on a busy section of La Jolla Boulevard (at Westbourne Street) have been out for months, reported La Jollan Melinda Merryweather. “It’s a super dangerous crosswalk,” Merryweather said, adding she witnessed a pedestrian nearly hit as she was crossing La Jolla Boulevard at dusk, coming up from the beach. “We’ve been asking the city for three months to bring these lights back … and the city is doing nothing about it. I can tell you that in Del Mar (which is its own city) those lights would be on within two weeks of somebody asking. … I just pray every day that someone comes forward with the $2.5 million (required for La Jolla to file with the state to become its own city.)” A representative with the office of District 1 City Council President Sherri Lightner cited a damaged conduit leading to the street lights as the cause of the outage. This streetlight at La Jolla Boulevard and Westbourne “City staff replaced Street is one of two that are not functioning. The city the damaged conduit, and SDG&E say they should be fixed in the near future. but they cannot energize the wires until San Diego Gas & Electric authorizes this,” spokesperson Erin Demorest said, via e-mail. “The city has asked SDG&E to expedite this authorization. We’ll let you know as soon as we receive word that this issue has been resolved with SDG&E and the street lights are functioning.” SDG&E Communications Manager Amber Albrecht said SDG&E workers inspected the site Dec. 9. “The city has some follow-up actions from that visit,” including a “remaining conduit to install,” Albrecht responded. “Once those city actions are complete, we will resend the inspector and energize the lights.” In the meantime, the public is urged to take extra precautions when driving by the intersection of La Jolla Boulevard and Westbourne Street. u — Pat Sherman

Town Council fills three seats, honors Alfonso’s owner La Jolla Town Council
La Jolla Town Council elected Taylor Bloom, Brandon Heess and Estela Aguilar to its board of directors during its December meeting. from Bill Gates to actors Raquel Welch and David Arquette, and sports luminaries Sugar Ray Leonard, Pete Rose and Tiger Woods. “He has faithfully supported the Town Council over the years and has been an important part of La Jolla’s civic life,” Haskins said. Alfonso thanked those in attendance for their patronage. “When I came to this town in 1962, it was a little tiny beach — and I’ve seen so many changes, and I remember many wonderful people here,” he said. However, part of those changes include a decline in business from the convention center downtown, he later told La Jolla Light, adding he is hoping to open a new location
in San Diego’s North Park neighborhood before his lease in La Jolla expires. n New trustees: Three candidates for three open seats on the LJTC board of directors introduced themselves, and were elected unanimously during the meeting: Estela Aguilar, Taylor Bloom and Brandon Heess. Aguilar, an international law expert, worked as an attorney in Mexico and was Chief Judicial Clerk at the 15th Federal Court of Appeals in Mexico. Bloom, an attorney and Bird Rock native who came recommended by La Jolla resident Julio DeGuzman, a director of community and government relations with
the San Diego City Attorney’s office, returned to the area recently after passing the California bar exam. As an attorney, she specializes in international property and sports law and serves on the San Diego Bar Association’s board of directors. “After law school I looked for every opportunity to come back here to La Jolla — to my hometown,” she said. “I’d really like to get more involved in the community I grew up in, the community I live in now and the community I work in professionally as a lawyer,” she said.

The commendation was bittersweet, however, as Fierro announced he will close his eatery at 1251 Prospect St. when his lease expires on Oct. 15, 2015. LJTC President Steve Haskins referred to Fierro as a personal friend and a friend of the community. “He is someone who was friends with my father and friends of many other people from many other generations here in La Jolla,” Haskins said, noting that Fierro started his culinary career in 1962 as a busboy (and later, bartender) working for Albert Hernandez, the man believed to have created the modern margarita at his La Jolla restaurant, La Plaza. Since then, Fierro has served everyone

From Cove Pavilion, A1 and storage room. “The idea to consider this structure as a ‘pavilion’ is important, because it’s an asset — more than just a restroom,” Rabines said. “We thought this project was not just about its functional elements — because a building is just a building with four walls — but this project is so much more. The intention is to have views of the ocean be open from the park. The bathroom’s current location (and orientation) blocks some of those views.” LJPB member Patrick Ahern said that maintaining the view corridor is recommended in a general development plan for Scripps Park that suggests pedestrian and visual access. Citing the importance of foliage, Rabines said, “There are not a lot of trees around the area and I think trees are very symbolic and give a strong identity to the space.” The designs include trees positioned in a way that they create “the feel of nesting” and the trellising on the structure’s roof would continue that effect — feeling like the branch of a tree — and assisting in preserving the view, Rabines noted. However, the proposed orientation of the structure and installation of the trees would take up a grassy area considered “sacred” and “a treasure” by SCUBA divers as a staging and gathering point. Several in attendance stated concern that the spot where they used to congregate would be lost should the structure be built as proposed. Some called the space that would remain “useless.” Additional concerns were that with the proposed pavilion’s placement, lines of people would spill out into the staging area.
A sketch of the proposed Cove Pavilion planned for Ellen Browning Scripps Park with improved ‘flow.’ The proposed facility would be larger than the current one because the number of toilets would increase – although it was unknown at the meeting by how many square feet. Safdie said there are no requirements as to how many toilets need to be in a given area, but based on current usage, planners determined there needs to be more. She said the unisex stalls would hopefully mediate the typically longer lines for women’s bathrooms. She added that she hoped people would consider the balance of giving up “that little bit of green” for the improved view and better facilities. The architects said they would consider the comments and feedback, and return at a
meeting to be announced. When final designs for the project get the community and LJPB’s OK, Safdie Rabines will hand over the designs to the city for construction. Spearheaded by Judy Adams Halter, the Cove Pavilion project would replace the nearly 50-year-old facility, under the auspices of LJPB. The San Diego Regional Park improvement Fund oversight committee unanimously voted to fund the construction Nov. 20.

From Lightner, A1
District 1 City Councilmember and La Jolla Shores resident Sherri Lightner signs her first document as the newly elected president of the San Diego City Council. Darcy Ashley and public safety going forward. ... “I think as a city council we’ve been quite clear about our commitment to infrastructure and public safety, with respect
to police, fire and lifeguards, assuring their retention and attracting some folks for those (positions). The police are in the most desperate need right now. We have an
s
formed Special Issues Committee on Charter Review. The latter committee will be tasked with analyzing, studying and evaluating San Diego’s City Charter. Lightner said there are a variety of issues that warrant revising in the document approved by voters in 1931, which has had various amendments made to it through the years. “There’s some portions of the charter that, essentially, every year we take action to waive,” she said. “We have had lists (of proposed revisions) provided by the city clerk’s office and the city attorneys’ office. We know that some of the departments have issues where there’s conflicting portions and so it requires what the (city) attorney calls ‘harmonization.’ We will be taking a very hard look at all parts of the charter. We are asking for input from the various departments — the city attorney, the mayor’s office, the city council, and, of course, the public.” As council president, Lightner will also set the city council’s legislative agenda, deciding which items are docketed, discussed and voted on during meetings — a fairly powerful assignment. Although Lightner said her position as council president doesn’t dramatically increase her ability to tackle specific issues in La Jolla, she said it will provide more opportunity to focus on the things she wants to accomplish overall. “I wanted to be council president to advance my agenda with respect to economic development, the water policy and, I do have an interest in infrastructure
attrition rate that’s a lot higher than we’ve seen in a very, very long time. We want to keep our officers, so we’re in the process of hiring a bunch more, but they have to be the best of the best.” Lightner said she expects most of the ongoing assessments of the city’s sidewalks, public buildings and park and recreation facilities will be complete this year, adding District 5 Councilmember Mark Kersey — who on Friday she listed as chair of the Committee on Infrastructure — “is very anxious to get the fiveyear plan developed for the CIP (Capital Improvement Program) and get some costs out there so we can (determine) how we will go about financing those.” Lightner also stressed her focus on highlighting the role of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in San Diego’s workforce development, and in highlighting binational relations and economic development. “We have been working since the formation of the Committee (on Economic Development and International Relations), at my urging, to get the economic development strategy complete. That is done and we look forward to now implementing it. There are various parts of that strategy that can be implemented relatively quickly, as far as regulatory relief, but then we also want to be looking at economic incentives for our businesses here to encourage manufacturing and onshoring” (relocating a business process or department to an area of the same country or region where the cost of labor or operations are lower).

City Council President shares recipe in new Kiwanis Club cookbook n “This is a recipe I got from my mother, who got it from a neighbor over 40 years ago.” — Sherri S. Lightner
Peach Cream Puff Pie n Puff pastry: 6 tablespoons butter (or margarine) 3/4 cup water 3/4 cup flour 3 eggs n Cream filling: 3-ounce package regular (not instant) vanilla pudding mix 12-ounce can peach or apricot nectar 1 ½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin 1 tablespoon cold water 1 cup whipping cream 2 tablespoons sugar 1.5 cups fresh peaches, sliced
president could offer Lightner a future political boost (she is termed out in 2016), when asked if she will seek another office in the future, Lightner maintained, “No, I’m not. … My interest in being council president is in serving my colleagues the way that I’ve served my community and to help us achieve all we can for the greater good of the City of San Diego.” Before the city council could vote to elect Lightner as president, it had to vote to replace Gloria — a vote in which Lightner joined with the four Republican members of the nine-member city council (the other four Democrats initially voted to retain Gloria). Although some have speculated the
n Method: Preheat oven to 425-degrees F. For the pastry: Combine butter and water in a medium saucepan and boil until butter melts. Remove from heat. Immediately add flour all at once, beating rapidly with wooden spoon until batter leaves the sides of the saucepan to form a ball. Quickly beat in eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until egg is completely absorbed. Spread into an 8-inch pie plate, building up an outer edge of one inch. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Cool. For the filling: Prepare the vanilla pudding using peach nectar instead of milk called for on the package. Sprinkle gelatin over water to soften. Add to hot pudding mixture and stir to dissolve completely. Cool. Whip cream and sugar and fold into the cooled pudding. Pour half the pudding mixture into the pastry shell, and then arrange a layer of peach slices using half the sliced peaches. Repeat layers. Cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill for 8-10 hours or until set.
Republicans preferred Lightner as president because she might be easier to sway on their agenda than the more liberal-leaning Gloria, Lightner called the implication “absolutely baseless.” “I am known for not being easily swayed on anything,” she said. “My engineering background is fact-based and solutionoriented. … I make fact-based decisions.” Lightner credited Gloria for working “very extensively on homelessness and family housing” issues during his two terms as council president. “I know that will continue to be an issue,” she said. Steve Haskins, current president of the La Jolla Town Council, noted his work with
La Jolla Kiwanis Cooks n To commemorate 100 Years of Kiwanis International (1915-2015), La Jolla Kiwanis has created a cookbook with 94 recipes by 34 Kiwanis donors, edited by Ann Ellis and Phyllis Minick. Included are photos of Kiwanis main events — Junior Olympics, Pancake Breakfast and La Jolla Half Marathon — with recipes recommended for each. The book is $25 (tax deductible) and available at Kiwanis meetings (noon to 1:30 p.m. Fridays at La Jolla Presbyterian Church, 7715 Draper Ave.) and at C&H Photo, 7442 Girard Ave. Proceeds benefit child-related charities. u
Lightner through the years, as a fellow town council trustee and “as a resident supporting her efforts on the city council to preserve La Jolla’s small town atmosphere and our cultural and historical heritage. “I cannot think of a better person to serve as council president,” Haskins said. “Sherri is a down-to-earth person, who really cares about doing the right thing. She is also quite smart and uses her background in engineering to make informed decisions on
land use matters.” u Editor’s Note: At press time, Lightner had scheduled the city council to re-vote on her presidency, 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 23. The re-vote was set to address allegations that the council may have violated the state’s open meetings law by discussing the post prior to last week’s vote. It has been alleged that individual meetings among city council members were held in the days leading up to the vote.

Seal supporters gather for start of pupping season
O
n the first day of harbor seal pupping season, Dec. 15, Seal Conservancy of San Diego (formerly Friends of the La Jolla Seals) members gathered at Children’s Pool to express their excitement over the ruling that prohibits people from going onto the beach during the seals’ five-month pupping season, which went into effect that day. (See commentary A26.) An August decision by the California Coastal Commission to close Children’s Pool (aka Casa Beach) during the season will be enforced through May 15 via a chain and signage indicating people may not go onto the beach. “This has been a long time coming here in San Diego, so we wanted to come down here to thank San Diegans, the San Diego City Council, the mayor of San Diego and the California Coastal Commission for supporting pupping season closures,” said Adrian Kwiatkowski, executive director of Seal Conservancy of San Diego. “What we are asking of San Diegans for these next five months (Dec. 15 to May 15) is to please not go on the sand during the closure … when the seals are giving birth to their pups. There are people out there who want equal access yearround, and we feel this is a balanced compromise. The other seven months, people and seals can have equal access
This sign directs people to stay off the beach until May 15, 2015. PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN

to the beach.” Kwiatkowski said there have been no discussions with the WAN Conservancy — the nature preservation organization responsible for the Seal Cam that went up last year — as to whether the camera would be re-installed. “But we are optimistic that in 2015 our organization will encourage the city to look at installing a camera again,” he said.

volunteers would continue to stand above Children’s Pool to “educate the public about the seals and encourage them to follow city law and not go on the sand.” Questioning the constitutionality of the California Coastal Commission decision, the beach access advocacy group, Friends of Children’s Pool, filed a lawsuit suit claiming that the city is denying citizen access to the ocean. Press material announcing the suit states: “This beach closure illegally excludes the rightful users of Children’s Pool; San Diego’s children, their families, swimmers, divers and fishermen. The city’s action puts all ocean users at greater risk as the safest beach in San Diego is closed and the very people for whom it was built are directed to use less safe beaches.”

T
he beach area at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool will be closed to the public from Dec. 15, 2014 through May 15, 2015. This seasonal closure is intended to provide special protection to the harbor seal population during the vulnerable pupping season and to address public safety concerns. The California Coastal Commission granted the city’s request for the seasonal closure Aug. 14 2014. The area that will be off limits to the public during this period is the area of sand at the base of the coastal bluffs/slopes, the rocks, the breakwater and the lower staircase. The Children’s Pool seawall will remain accessible as will the walkway on top of the bluff, on the east side of the pool (see map top right). Due to construction of the La Jolla Lifeguard Station adjacent to the site, public access may be limited at times. Per the city’s permit from the Coastal Commission, signs will be placed at the site to alert the public of the closure (see example bottom right). Failure to heed the signs is a violation of the city’s municipal code and is a misdemeanor and punishable by up to $1,000. Harassing, disturbing or flushing the seals violates federal and local laws. A condition of the Coastal Commission’s approval of the seasonal beach closure requires the City of San Diego to conduct ongoing monitoring of the area, recording the number of harbor seals present, the tide and weather conditions, instances of harbor seal harassment, as well as the number of warnings and citations

Easy end to recycling trucks: Just lock it up, restaurants! Ed Witt’s dilemma with plastic and glass yucky booze bottle recycling operations and trucks parked in residential neighborhoods is indeed smelly, noisy, invasive and just plain disgusting. The problem can be solved very easily if the commercial establishments (particularly the restaurants), simply lock their commercial trash containers. That should keep the trash recycling thieves at bay. It’s not asking too much for these commercial establishments to step up to the plate and do their part to make this community a safer and happier place in which to live. Just lock it up, folks. P.S. Note to City Council President Sherri Lightner: Just have one of your staff members telephone the major restaurants in La Jolla and strongly suggest they lock up their trash containers. Be firm and suggest that a voluntary resolution is much better than then a city ordinance. Tom Carroll La Jolla

Who really knows what Miss Scripps would think? Did you notice an interesting quotation in the Dec. 11 La Jolla Light article “Historian clarifies Ms. Scripps’ garden wishes”? In the article, USD historian Molly McClain cites a memorandum from Miss Scripps’ lawyer, quoting her response to a suggestion she reserve a specific lot as a public park: “Miss Scripps very promptly said in substance that she could not see what might be desirable in the future, that she
did not want to tie things up...” Yet some would have us believe that Miss Scripps would feel exactly the same today as she did 83 years ago when she funded construction of the Children’s Pool breakwater in 1931, despite the circumstances having changed so radically. I don’t know how her opinion would have evolved, but neither do those who oppose measures protecting the seals. I for one suspect she would be delighted that so many children enjoy watching the seals. Donald G. Yeckel La Jolla

OBITUARIES
George Nelson Gafford 1916 – 2014
The world lost a true gentleman on December 6, 2014, when George Nelson Gafford, 98, passed away at home in La Jolla, California. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, on March 25, 1916, to first-generation Hungarian immigrant parents, Mr. Gafford was educated in Cleveland Heights and Griffon House School in London. He received a four-year scholarship to Yale College, where he was on the 3-man Epee fencing team that won the Intercollegiate Fencing Championship. He went on to qualify as a member of the U.S. Olympic Fencing Squad. He graduated Cum Laude with A.B. Orations Appointment from Yale in 1936. Mr. Gafford received his J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 1939, where he was Vice President of the Student Bar Association, received the Order of the Coif and graduated first in his class. Immediately after law school, Mr. Gafford worked for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, where he took on civil and criminal investigations, civil federal litigation and was Special Assistant to the U.S. Attorney for criminal litigation. During World War II he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps as a civilian,
where he specialized in counter-espionage and counter-sabotage as well as labor negotiations. He then joined the U.S. Navy for active duty from 1942 to 1946, where he was first introduced to San Diego. As a lieutenant, after Midshipman School and Anti-submarine Warfare School, he became Executive Officer of PC 816, a submarine chaser for the West Coast Frontier Command. Later, after Civil Affairs Training School, Mr. Gafford served as Military Governor in Ulsan Gun, Korea, and, following the war, he served in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1946 to 1962. Returning to Ohio after WWII, Mr. Gafford was in private practice from 1946 to 1969. He served as Assistant Attorney General of Ohio and was Adjunct Professor at Cleveland College, Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University School of Law, cultivating a deep love of teaching. Realizing he could teach in a beautiful place and play tennis year-round, Mr. Gafford moved to La Jolla in 1969 and became a full-time professor at California Western School of Law, where he taught until 1986. He devised the strategy and negotiated the purchase of California Western by a non-profit corporation from United States International University, creating a newly independent law school in 1975. There he coached law school jury trial, appellate moot court, patent court and client counseling teams, achieving three National Championships. After his retirement, Professor Emeritus Gafford served on the school’s Board of Trustees for 25 years, including as chairman. The moot courtroom
and the intramural trial competition at California Western bear his name in honor of his role in launching the school’s successful team competitions. Mr. Gafford contributed much to his community, serving on the board of directors or board of trustees for numerous organizations, including La Jolla Playhouse, San Diego Symphony Pops, San Diego Museum of Art (Collection Committee), and Mainly Mozart. He was a member of the University Club and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. He authored four books: Odyssey of a Law School, Lawyers Are Us, 80 Years of Adventure and Take It Easy!, based on his signature phrase. George Gafford had a zest for life, loved traveling the world and was kind and wise. Though his body failed, his pride and intellect never waned. Our lives have been immeasurably enriched by knowing and loving him. Mr. Gafford is survived by his wife of 34 years, Martha Austin Gafford; his children, Gerald Cockrell of Abilene, Texas, Jana Bartlit and her husband, Fred Bartlit, of Castle Pines, Colorado, and Kathryn “Casey” Bolinger and her husband, Timothy William Bolinger, of Scottsdale, Arizona; as well as five grandchildren; six greatgrandchildren; and four nieces and their families. George was preceded in death by his first wife, Toni Mehas Gafford; daughter, Diane Gafford; son, Frank Cockrell; sister, Joyce Grant; and his son Gerry’s wife, Maxine Cockrell. George N.

OUR READERS WRITE (Continued) From Our Readers Write, A27 and well being; in addition, family caregivers must be sociopolitical advocates for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, who, with waning powers of articulation and will, are politically voiceless and therefore vulnerable.” — Dr. Stephen Post, associate director at the Center for Biomedical Ethics, School of Medicine, Case Western University. My sensibilities were shocked listening to what I perceived as a breach in moral fortitude when the building owner and the proposed project representative presented plans for an Alzheimer’s unit at 7630 Fay Ave., dubbed “Monarch Cottages,” during the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meeting on Dec. 4. One had the audacity to emphasize the amount of empty retail space in La Jolla (110,000 square feet) to lull the LJCPA into approving the “cottages.” (The LJCPA voted 11-4-1 that findings could not be made for Monarch Cottages because the proposed facility thwarts the Planned District Ordinance [PDO] requirement for retail use.) The story line was embellished by outlining how families could visit their loved ones at Monarch Cottages, enjoying the amenities of the Village together. (We now call Alzheimer’s facilities Memory Support Units.) Actually, the building at 7630 Fay Ave. does not resemble a “cottage,” but is rather a large, two-story building without any opportunity for windows and natural light on the north or south
sides; the back of the building faces an alley. Patients in the early stage of Alzheimer’s are most often at home, focusing on maintaining their independence and some normalcy in their lives for as long as possible. Alzheimer’s disease is rarely about a leisurely walk down Fay Avenue with family on a Sunday afternoon, or even attending a symphony. By the time one is admitted to a Memory Support Unit, the patient is well along the agonizing trajectory of this dreaded disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a tragic, progressive and terminal illness that has no respecter of person. The diagnosis can come as early as in one’s 50s. The average life span after diagnosis is two to 20 years; patients may present with a secondary psychiatric diagnosis or a psychiatric overlay, often from an awareness of their cognitive decline; anger, frustration and hopelessness, along with feelings of panic that may be directed at others. Anxiety, paranoia, sadness and clinical depression may require treatment. Supervision by a home healthcare provider, a gero-psychiatrist and/or a neurologist may be indicated. Memory Support Units best serve their patients with thoughtful aesthetic environments, structured activities and music, as well as places to sit and rest. Patients thrive on the availability of natural light and secured places to walk outside where there are benches to rest, promoting an experience of personal freedom. Carol Mills, RN, MA La Jolla
Arrest made in ‘Chit Chat Bandit’ search A man believed to have robbed a La Jolla bank led Riverside County sheriff’s deputies and CHP officers on a vehicle pursuit from Riverside County to San Diego County, and was arrested on charges related to the pursuit and carjacking. Jared Levi Hansen, 31, was arrested Dec. 4 at 9 p.m. in the vicinity of the Interstate 15 southbound lane near the Mercy Road exit. At the time of his arrest, Hansen was driving a stolen mini-van and armed with a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. Hansen is alleged to be the bank robber known as the “Chit Chat Bandit.” Since Nov. 26 local law enforcement and the FBI have been investigating a string of bank robberies by an unknown male dubbed the “Chit Chat Bandit.” He is believed to be responsible for robbing three San Diego County banks during the period Nov. 26 through Dec. 2, 2014. The first robbery in the series occurred Nov. 26 at 3:05 p.m., with the robbery of the Wells Fargo Bank at 7544 Girard Ave., La Jolla. During this robbery, the suspect handed the teller a demand note for cash. He also made a verbal demand for cash and attempted to engage in small talk with the teller. After receiving a sum of money, he exited the bank.
Investigators believe Hansen fled San Diego County to Riverside County to avoid capture. Anyone with information concerning the “Chit Chat Bandit” bank robberies is asked to contact the FBI at (858) 320-1800 or San Diego Crime Stoppers at (888) 540-8477. An arrest is not evidence that the defendant committed the crimes charged.

Spotlight on Local
Bird Rockers love to perch at Beaumont’s Neighborhood Eatery By Marti Gacioch When Bird Rock resident Dave Heine saw the need for a local restaurant nine years ago, he decided to add something special to his community. He more than succeeded with Beaumont’s Neighborhood Eatery, a local favorite with the motto: “Eat, Drink, Vibe.” Beaumont’s diverse menu (brimming with ample breakfast, lunch and dinner choices), nightly live music and active bar scene spurs the restaurant to live up to that motto and keeps locals coming back for more. “We’re strongly supported by La Jolla residents who make up 90 percent of our customers,” Heine said. Breakfast (available only on weekends) is far from ordinary at Beaumont’s. “Our Coast Toast is a soufflé-styled French toast with a hint of orange. It’s cooked on the griddle and finished in the oven, and it goes well with our wonderful maple syrup,” Heine said. Other breakfast choices offer a spicy spin. “We have some amazing Mexican dishes like our Chilaquiles with eggs, tomatillo sauce, pulled pork, Oaxacan cheese and our homemade tortilla chips,” Heine said. Beaumont’s Grande Breakfast Burrito features three scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, guacamole, cheddar cheese, crema and homemade salsa. Other egg specialties
“Our Southern Wedge with fried chicken, baby iceberg lettuce, red pepper, red onion, bacon, gorgonzola and a Tabasco-spiced ranch dressing is also a top favorite,” Heine said. Skirt Steak with crispy potatoes, crimini mushrooms, kale and fromage blue sauce is Beaumont’s most popular dinner item, and its pan-roasted Mary’s Natural Chicken Breast with roasted sweet corn, hominy and morita chili, is a close second. Hazelnut Gelato Bon Bons topped with homemade bittersweet chocolate pistachio dust, caramel sauce and locally made vanilla gelato round off any meal at Beaumont’s. u
Beaumont’s is a popular spot for meeting friends and dining casually, live music some evenings and weekends, adds to its welcoming ambiance.
include its bespoke Beaumont’s Benedict and Chicken & Waffles Benedict. Numerous sandwiches, burgers, chargrilled meats and fish, along with flatbreads, tasty soups and salads make up Beaumont’s daily lunch menu. “We have a lot of shareable plates, but our most popular lunch order is the Cuban Panini with smoked ham, pickles, roasted pork, melted Swiss, house aioli and Dijon
mustard,” Heine said. The BLHT is an easy rival of the panini. It features grilled heirloom tomatoes, truffle mayo, Applewood smoked bacon and redleaf lettuce on toasted sourdough bread. Salads bridge both lunch and dinner, and Beaumont’s Chopped Salad rules the menu. It features hearts of palm, artichoke, romaine, spinach, garbanzo beans, kalamata olives and sherry vinaigrette.

Vikings boys water polo team wraps up 2014 season By Tom Murphy La Jolla High School Foundation
La Jolla High School Vikings Boys Water Polo team wrapped up an outstanding season with an awards banquet Dec. 8 for its three teams and their families. The Vikings are always one of the top teams in the county and this year they moved from Division III into the new and highly competitive Open Division. The U-T San Diego Power Rankings placed the Vikings Varsity team in the top six in the county all season. They fell to No. 2-ranked The Bishop’s School in the CIF playoffs. The Varsity team finished the season with a record of 15-14, which included a number of tournaments and non-league games. The Junior Varsity team, finishing with a 29-2 record, dominated their opponents throughout the season and their strength bodes well for Vikings water polo program in the years ahead. Much can be said for the similar record of the Novice team. Varsity Coach Tom Atwell, accompanied by JV and Novice coach Sam Busby, presented awards and regaled players at the annual team banquet at the Mission Beach Women’s Club. Coach Atwell forms a special bond with his players and it’s clear when he describes the eight seniors leaving the program: Matt Allen, Aaron Carswell, Jack Frager, Tobin Groth, Carlos “Tito” Hernandez, Jake Le Beau, Chase Repp and Henry Smith. Atwell invited his team to vote for Varsity players most deserving of recognition:

St. Vincent’s kids celebrate Christmas at White Sands
I
t may have been raining Dec. 12, but the faces of the pre-school aged children visiting from St. Vincent de Paul’s children’s services program brightened up White Sands in La Jolla. As in years past, the retirement community once again hosted the children for an afternoon of holiday cheer. Residents each donated $150 to fund the purchase of toys, clothes and other gifts for the children. In return, they got to see the joy in the young faces as the kids watched Disney characters sing and dance (actually White Sands’ staff members in costume), meet Saint Nick and get a big bag of presents! The children were allowed to open the gifts then and there, resulting in an explosion of wrapping paper, before heading back. u Photos by Ashley Mackin

Casa de Mañana celebrates 90 years of its Village history By Ashley Mackin asa de Mañana, La Jolla’s resort-turnedluxury-living facility, celebrated its 90th anniversary Dec. 10 at 849 Coast Blvd., opening its doors for prospective members to sample food served there, meet staff and mingle with potential new neighbors. Among the staff to welcome them was Roberta Jacobsen, president of Front Porch Communities, which owns and operates Casa de Mañana. Jacobsen said with the exception of some modern upgrades — indoor plumbing, electricity, room renovations — the building is almost identical to its state in 1924. “Except there were horses parked out front instead of cars,” she joked.

Historic Hotel Originally a resort hotel, Casa de Mañana was built by Isabel Hopkins and was considered an upscale seaside destination for visitors to San Diego and La Jolla, Jacobsen said. Its original structure, the main building located at 849 Coast Blvd., included several cocktail lounges and a restaurant for guests. The restaurant, Jacobsen said, was the “upscale place for special occasions,” such as first dates, engagements, wedding receptions and celebrity spotting. Retired teacher Mary Lou Brown, who worked at Casa de Mañana from 1990 to 1995, said legends of who’s who sightings would be passed on from former employees. One encounter, a particular favorite of hers, came from a waitress decades ago. As the tale goes, the waitress was serving drinks in one of

Inga’s front yard in 1986.
Let Inga Tell You
The ghosts of Christmas trees past
A
La Jolla Cultural Partners
few days ago I went to buy my Christmas tree and couldn’t help but reflect on the ghosts of Christmas trees past. My first husband always insisted we get a small live tree, which we would then plant in the yard in what he considered a charming post-Christmas tradition. Folks: do NOT try this at home! Little did we realize how much those suckers would grow — one to 40 feet! By the time my husband and I divorced 10 years (and Christmas trees) later, anyone driving by would think our place was a tree farm with a driveway. Meanwhile, the interior of the house descended into a barn-esque gloom since the tree tops had created a rain forest canopy effect. The tree roots made for constant plumbing problems and grass wouldn’t grow under pine needles. Ultimately, it cost me $4,000 to have 10 originally $20 trees removed from the property. (I knew I should have had a Christmas tree removal reimbursement clause in the divorce decree!) Now single with two little kids, I went for the 6-foot Douglas fir simply because they were the cheapest. I’d be on my stomach trying to screw the trunk into the
stand while 6-year-old Rory was holding up the tree. Three-year-old Henry was supposed to tell me when it was straight. I crawled out from under the tree to discover that it was listing 45 degrees. Irrefutably demonstrating the principle of gravitational vector forces, it promptly fell over. It was several more years at least until we had a Christmas tree that wasn’t leaning precariously. In a brilliant Single Mom Home Repair School solution, I tied a rope midway up the trunk and tethered the other end to a ceiling plant hook. Miraculously (since I guarantee that butterfly bolts are not rated for Christmas tree stabilization), it stayed vertical. Some years later, Henry, who was about 11 at the time, and I brought home a bargain supermarket tree. After nearly amputating digits using a rusty Pinewood Derby-era jigsaw trying to cut off bottom tree branches so the tree would go into the stand, I made a mental note for the next year: better saw, or a tree from a Christmas tree lot. Since I wasn’t all that interested in replicating the experience even with appropriate tools, the next year I did indeed go to a tree lot and got full service branch trimming. The tree lot guys
mentioned that they could probably get the tree on top of my little Toyota if I wanted to save the delivery fee. (I think they sensed a cheap tipper.) I was dubious but they did indeed get the tree tied securely on top of the car by having me open the two front windows and running the rope through the car and around the tree, knotting it on top. IQ test: What’s wrong with this picture? Off I went in the early evening darkness driving as slowly as possible through back streets. I was terrified that a sudden stop would put this tree on the hood of my car, or worse, through the windshield of the car behind me. With enormous relief, I pulled up in front of my darkened house. It was the kids’ night at their dad’s, and Olof was not yet living in San Diego. My plan was to untie the tree, drag it onto the front porch and have the kids help me set it up the following night. Obviously over-focused on saving the delivery fee and failing to engage even a single synapse, I had not stopped to realize that with the rope threaded through the car windows, the doors couldn’t open. I was trapped in my car. It was well before cell phones.
I sat in my car thinking, “Geesh, Inga, it’s amazing you’re allowed to leave the house without a conservator.” (And also: Would it have killed those tree guys to ask if there would be anybody at home?) I sat there shivering in my open-windowed car and pondering my options. I didn’t really want to have to go all the way back to the tree lot. But it would probably take all evening to cut through the rope with my car keys. (Note to self: Keep 9-inch bowie knife in the glove compartment!) As luck would have it, a neighbor arrived home from work shortly after, and, graciously avoiding voicing what must surely have been his assessment of the situation, extricated me from the car. Why all of my neighbors were not hiding from me after the first year I was single is still a mystery. But ultimately, I married Olof and we could afford to have not only the Noble fir I had always coveted, but have the nice Christmas tree lot people deliver it and set it up to my satisfaction. Personally, I think I’ve earned it. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Bay views complement dining experience at Tidal By Kelley Carlson ith a diverse clientele and a menu that shifts with the seasons, Tidal is a restaurant that tends to go with the flow. Located in what was once a private beach house that’s now part of Paradise Point resort, Tidal offers 180-degree views of Mission Bay. It attracts people fresh off the beach, couples celebrating anniversaries, and families on vacation. Many are drawn to the Bayside Lounge patio, where they can watch an ocean sunset or curl up next to a fire pit on a cool evening. Others gather around communal tables or relax on couches in the lounge and dining room areas. These experiences are highlighted by the food and beverage program, designed by general manager/executive chef Amy DiBiase. She creates traditional entrees with Mediterranean influences, and incorporates vegetables and seafood that vary by season. To accompany the dishes, there are wines from around the world and craft cocktails. To start the meal, DiBiase presents more than a half-dozen appetizers. Among them is the Heirloom Pear Salad, with soft and juicy fruit slices tucked in among leaves, accents of blue cheese crumbles and Marcona almonds, a base of creamy cheese and preserved fig, and a drizzle of syrah syrup. Moving on to the main course, guests can select from seafood and meats. One of the

True or False? The North Pole is at the center of an international controversy right now. True, due to the fact that 30 percent of the world’s untapped oil reserves are located in the Arctic Circle! The U.S. Geological Survey says that amount could actually be higher, since so much of the region has yet to be explored. Complicating matters is the fact that multiple countries lay claim to the Arctic Circle — Russia, Canada, Norway, Denmark (via Greenland), and the United States (via Alaska). Each country is allowed to explore potential oil reserves within 200 miles of their coastlines, but in 2007, Russia used a mini-submarine to plant the country’s flag on the floor of the Arctic Ocean in an attempt to claim the region and its natural resources, a move that was rejected by the U.N. as the countries 2014 NINE-TEN NYE Ad.pdf 1 12/12/2014 9:30:12 AM continue to work toward a solution. u — Budget Travel Magazine

Art in the Garden proves ‘art’ is limitless
A
fundraiser and showcase for the work of area artists held at a private home in Bird Rock Dec. 6, set out to demonstrate that “art” cannot be limited. Artists offered examples of art you see, hear, wear, taste and grow for show and sale. A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to Art Reach and the La Jolla Historical Society.

Local artist Bryan Pepper examines Tim Schwartz’s homemade book scanner.
Let’s Review WILL BOWEN
Exhibit explores demise of the printed book
I
the paper-and-print book become obsolete in the digital age? Statistics seem to point that way. Last year, the population reading printed books dropped from 72 percent to 67 percent, while the readers of eBooks grew from 16 percent to 23 percent.
If the end of the book is near, it’s important that we consider what will be lost and what will change if we transition to purely electronic reading. These are the themes artist Tim Schwartz explores in his exhibit “Bookends,” which opened Dec. 4 at the new Structural and Materials Engineering (SME) Art Gallery on the ground floor of the SME building on the UCSD campus. In case you’re wondering what an art gallery is doing in an engineering building, the truth is there are many artists working there — especially those specializing in new technology and new materials use. Schwartz is an UCSD Visual Arts MFA alumnus, currently based in Los Angeles, who was invited back to campus because
of his work with new technology. In addition to his education in the arts, Schwartz has a B.A. in physics from Wesleyan University. To gather material for this show, Schwartz orchestrated 30 different “performances” in libraries in Los Angeles and New York over a two-month period this year. How people browse library books was “treated as an instrument that could be played,” explained Schwartz. The performances involved various individuals who were invited to browse through library materials for 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Schwartz followed the browser/ performers around the library with a portable book scanner he built, scanning whatever people chose to look through.
s
n September, the nation’s first all electronic library — equipped with 10,000 e-Books and 500 eReaders — opened in San Antonio, Texas. They call the library BiblioTech. Does this eLibrary forebode the end of the published book, as we know it? Has

After the performance, the scans were processed with Abby FineReader, one of the most advanced Optical Character Recognition software systems available. With Abby FineReader, Schwartz created a PDF file from which a hardbound book of each browse session was printed. There are 30 of these books in the exhibit. Schwartz then used another software program called eScape 50 to create 50 ePaper (an electronic paper developed at MIT) screens that transformed the entire material of each book into one digital representation (visualization), each resembling a misty black-and-white mountain landscape or stormy seascape. The 50 sheets of framed ePaper were placed in one long row upon one wall for viewer contemplation. Also included in the SME show is Schwartz’s homemade portable book scanner, which is housed under a small black pup tent. All told, Schwartz’s show is sparse in eyecatching materials, but deep in concept. The value of art projects like his is the personal contemplation they trigger. As you look through the printed books and examine their digital representations, you begin to think about your own experience of reading, both real books and electronic material. You are enticed to shift through your own memories and experiences, and by way of reflection, develop a new perspective on things you’ve been experiencing without much thought. Perhaps the most beguiling things to look at are the books. You get to “browse”
Digital books using eScape Photos by Will Bowen
the browsing of others and watch how their minds work. You are confronted with many random fields, serendipitous subjects, odd pictures, and diagrams that your mind naturally seeks to order and to plumb. This browsing function of the mind on some path toward discovery of something that might be of importance to us is one of the things Schwartz says we will lose if we transition to solely electronic reading where computerized browsers and search engines organize and prioritize electronic material in a linear manner — and often with the commercial aim of trying to sell us something. “It is the narrowing of ideas that may come in the digital age, where filters and online curators direct you to the information they think you want, that I fear,” Schwartz said. He added that the digital age makes too much information too readily available on any subject one might choose to “Google,” and all that information gets presented in

such a standardized fashion (i.e. Wikipedia) that it leads to a kind of “hyper-reality.” That, said Schwartz, is the loss of one’s sense of reality or the creation of an alienating symbolic reality, where the past and the future are no longer felt, but are flattened into a sense of an allpervasive present moment, in which we can easily lose our bearings. Jennifer Rutherford, who curated one of Schwartz’s art exhibitions in Australia, also
laments the potential loss of the book as a physical object one can bond with. She warns, “the book as a tactile, olfactory, haptic, visual, and sensory memory bank of the interior life may be lost in the future. In my memory, there is not a critical moment without a book in it. Books have been fellow travelers and bedfellows. I have gone hungry for books, wept over books, devoured books, fought over books, and loved through books.” Schwartz, too, is fearful of what the loss of books could mean. “That is why I am on the trail of the loss, hopefully, finding new ways we might make aesthetic gains over the imminent changes we are facing,” he said. u n IF YOU GO: “Tim Schwartz: Bookends” runs through December at the Visual Arts Gallery, Structural and Materials Engineering (SME) Building #142, UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla.

anta Claus left the North Pole to take a break from making toys, visiting Mount Soledad Presbyterian Church Dec. 6. He visited with children, posed for photos and asked kids
what they wanted for Christmas. While waiting for Santa, children visited craft stations, nibbled on pancakes and other breakfast items, sipped hot cocoa and drafted wish lists. The Presbyterian Church offers the Breakfast with Santa each year for its congregation and the community. u

12 reasons why experiences make the best gifts From PR Reports
E
n 4) Eat with a purpose. Organize a lunch or dinner with an uplifting theme. Consider having a “2015 Bucket List Dinner,” ask everyone to share their goals for the coming year, then discuss how to help each other achieve them. (And follow through!) If you don’t want to cook for a group, host a potluck and ask everyone to bring his or her favorite holiday food — maybe a family recipe from your parents or grandparents. This nostalgic theme can bring back rich memories, as you honor loved ones and your family’s heritage.
ach year, we stress about which gifts we’re going to give our friends and families and how we’re going to pay for them. Financial writer Donna Skeels Cygan suggests an alternative to the traditional gift exchange: give experiences instead of things. She offers 12 options and explains why they’re so meaningful. n 1) Savor the season together. Take a drive to look at holiday decorations, attend a holiday concert, visit a museum with a seasonal exhibit, or walk down decorated city streets — whatever you and your family or friends would most enjoy. Get creative as you plan your experiences. The point is that you’re purposefully taking time to experience this special season together, instead of breathlessly running from obligation to obligation. In the midst of stressful lives (which tend to get even more hectic during the holidays) the gift of time enjoyed with loved ones is invaluable. n 2) Bake up a holiday storm. Spend a morning baking cookies together with foodie friends. You can focus on old favorites or try new recipes. After baking, the cookies can be packaged with holiday ribbons, providing the added benefit that everyone goes home with several types of cookies to enjoy or give as gifts. n 3) “Give” it forward. Together with
n 5) Get creative. Make plans to do an art, craft, or home-improvement project together with family or friends. You could make holiday wreaths or paint mugs at a local pottery studio, for example, and every time you use these items in the years to come, you’ll be reminded of the fun time you spent creating them — and of your valuable friendship.
Instead of exchanging gifts, do something you and a friend has always said you’d do together, but never managed to find time for. Courtesy family or friends, choose a local charity or “adopt” a family that is less fortunate. Spend a half-day shopping for food and/or gifts, then wrap them and deliver them. Or

Know which foods are ‘naughty’ or ‘nice’ “I’ve been on a diet for two weeks, and all I’ve lost is two weeks.” — Totie Fields
I
n December, temptation takes many holly, jolly edible forms — from rich hors d’oeuvres and calorie-laden cocktails to fatty fowls and decadent desserts. Let’s leave the belly fat to Santa by choosing “nice” foods over “naughty” ones while still enjoying some seasonal cheer. n Party poopers: Beware of traditional cocktail hors d’oeuvres that are a secret store of trans fats, sugars, additives and GMOs. Steer clear of the deep-fried and fatty offerings, including tempura, mozzarella and zucchini sticks, calamari and onion rings, party wings, egg rolls and meatballs. Creamy, cheesy or syrupy dipping sauces, bacon-wrapped treats, quiches, pigs in a blanket, and quesadillas are holiday no-nos. Instead, scope out better, lighter choices, such as, turkey meatballs in marinara sauce, rice paper-wrapped spring rolls, vegetable crudités or roasted veggies with hummus, eggplant and yogurt dips, grilled skewers of shrimp or chicken, steamed dim sum, turkey bacon wrapped goodies and, if you’re lucky — caviar canapés. n Pigging out: While pork-marketing campaigns have touted “the other white meat” as a leaner alternative to beef, most cuts (other than the loin or crown roast) contain a lode of fat, sodium, hormones, antibiotics and carcinogenic nitrates. So when there’s a pork in the road, veer off the baked ham, pancetta or pork sausage route to grass-fed, pasture raised, immuneboosting lamb or pescavore preferences, including heart-healthy, mineral-rich wild caught sea treasures, especially salmon, diver scallops, Dungeness crab and shrimp. n Don’t be left in the dark: The dark meat of assorted fowls are more tender and juicy than the white breast meat, with a trade off of having more saturated fat and cholesterol, translating to more calories. Waterfowl, including ducks and geese are entirely dark meat, while the domestic birds tend to be even fatter than their wild
counterparts, (except Muscovy which is leaner than its Peking cousin). So for the cholesterol- and calorieconscious, choose the breast meat of turkey, chicken or Cornish hen (pass on fat-laden wings altogether), adding cranberry relish or sauce to counter the dryness. n Skinflints: The skin’s the thing snagging first prize in the fat competition (3.5 ounces contain 44 grams of fat compared to the skinless breast with only 4 grams of fat), so go au natural and shed the skin. n Slim sides: Swap out rich, high fat carbs, gravies and stuffings for lighter, guiltless choices. Put the creamy green bean casserole with fried onion strings on the back burner for steamed beans with a citrus vinaigrette drizzle, or roasted Brussels with a balsamic glaze. Instead of the sickeningly sweet marshmallow topping on the yam casserole, you can substitute the healthier and less cloying toasted walnuts or pecans. And ditch fatty sausage and pedestrian white bread stuffings for exotic and lighter concoctions from chestnut and fresh herbs or shredded roasted roots to aromatic wild rice, quinoa or buckwheat blends. Put mashed potatoes on a diet by replacing sour cream and butter with plain yoghurt and goat cheese, while adding an antioxidant oomph with roasted garlic and mashed celery root (see recipe above). You can still indulge in gravy, but do a vegetable-based one instead of traditional fatty giblet. n Svelte sweets: Transform favorite holiday treats with slimming slights of hand making fats and sugars vanish. Lose top pie crusts to instantly cut carbs. A little dab’ll do you with whipped cream or sub for less fatty non-dairy toppings, a dollop of Greek yoghurt or sorbets. Today’s fruitcake is not your grandma’s clichéic doorstopper. The neon glow-in-thedark fruit nuggets and gobs of butter have been replaced with lighter, more nutritious ingredients, such as nut oils and dried cherries, cranberries, figs and dates. u — For additional holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

During the 1940s, in midst of World War II, the hotel business was struggling, so Hopkins opened Casa’s doors to U.S. Navy soldiers coming home from combat, operating the hotel as a rest and recuperation center. Unable to bounce back from the economic downturn, Hopkins sold the hotel for $5 million to Pacific Homes in 1953,

The actor’s name escaped Brown, much to her dismay. However, she did recall that J. Edgar Hoover, former director of the FBI, was also a visitor. A La Jolla Light article dated Sept. 30, 1937 reported his stay. It read: “J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, visited Casa de Mañana for a week with Clyde Tolson and Guy Hattee, all of Washington D.C. They spent most of their time in seclusion at one of the hotel’s cottages and left Friday by plane to Washington. Mr. Hoover expressed himself as highly pleased with the scenic conditions here and the high moral tone of the community, promising to come again.” A supplementary article reported that British actor Arthur Treacher also visited the hotel. Treacher is best known for his role as The Constable in the 1964 film “Mary

Ever expanding, ever changing As adjoining properties became available, Pacific Homes acquired them to expand
Casa de Mañana. In 1965, six “Loma” cottages were opened and quickly occupied. In late 1967, Casa de Mañana held a groundbreaking ceremony for what would be the Riviera Cottages. Further, after “numerous delays,” according to “The first 20 years,” permits to construct the Villa de Este were granted in 1972 and the two buildings that make up the Villa were built in 1973, which marked “the most exciting event of this five-year period (1968-1973).” In late 1987, Casa de Mañana was added to San Diego’s list of designated Historic Landmarks. In 1999, Pacific Homes merged with three other not-for-profit organizations to form what is now Front Porch Communities. No longer affiliated with the Methodist Church, Front Porch Communities operates Casa de Mañana to this day and there is no religious association. Despite several renovations to the

to live at Casa de Mañana, but chapel services were Methodist. The La Jolla community originally opposed the change in use. A booklet produced by Pacific Homes chronicling the history of the resort, “Casa de Mañana: The first 20 years,” explained some of the Villagers’ concerns: “1) We had deprived them of the hotel which had been the center of much of their social life, 2) We were a tax-free institution, which removed this property from the taxproducing rolls, and 3) We were indigents replacing wealthy hotel guests whose money benefited the town.” In its retort, Pacific Homes explains: “We had to admit to the first and second allegations, but erelong the merchants, bankers and brokers realized that the third was a false assumption. Rumor soon had us all millionaires — equally false, but it did
lessen resentment. To further good will, Stevenson’s Department store (Walker Scott at the time) sent a car twice a day to take us to the shopping center. We, in turn, served in such local organizations as Red Cross, Thrift Shop, Visiting Nurses and (La Jolla) Woman’s Club, and in the churches. During the first five years, we also promoted the fund drives for various philanthropic groups. When the number of such appeals had reached eight (and was rapidly growing), we cut back to one for which the (Casa de Mañana) Club collected — the United Crusade — with permission to the Red Cross to have one of our members accept contributions for it. Finally, resentment toward us died, and we were accepted as an integral part of La Jolla.”

Photos by Ashley Mackin interior — converting hotel rooms into living quarters and upgrades as needed — much of the exterior has not changed, Jacobsen said, honoring its historical designation. The only major change took place around 15 years ago, she said, when some old units were torn down and rebuilt. Today, Casa de Mañana spans five acres and has accommodations for 200 residents, although Jacobsen proudly noted the facility is at almost 100 percent capacity.
Still got that feeling
For Marti Kranzberg, the fact that Casa de Mañana looks the same as it did decades ago is part of the appeal, and why she said she wants to “end her days” there.
Sophie Chien and Patricia Wilkey dance at the party.
“I moved to San Diego in 1979 and when I did my initial walk along the waterfront in La Jolla, I came across Casa de Mañana. I just became enamored with this place,” she said at the 90th anniversary celebration. When a friend moved there, she saw that the place hadn’t changed, and decided she wants to retire there. “I’m not a La Jolla resident now, I am a potential La Jolla resident, if my dreams were to come true and I could move here (to Casa de Mañana),” she said. “I just love the view, the community involvement and the people.” u n For information about Casa de Mañana, visit frontporch.net or casademanana.org

Social Life Calendar
n 7) Go to class. Take a cooking class, sewing class, self-defense class, painting class, wine-tasting class — whatever you and the other person would enjoy. n 8) Become a day-tripper. Think museums, landmarks, shopping destinations, unique restaurants, wineries, etc. Why not visit one of them with a friend? Be sure to snap photos so you can remember the best parts of your outing. n 9) Make them a member. Consider buying a gift membership to a zoo, theme park or museum, or season tickets to the theater, orchestra, or a sports team’s home games. Every time the recipient uses your gift, he or she will be reminded of your thoughtful relationship. n 10) Take care of some chores. You could “gift” a repairperson or a maid service, or purchase a gift certificate to a restaurant. Along the same lines, if you know a family with children, you could offer your baby-sitting services for free so that the parent or parents can enjoy a few evenings out n 11) Mark your calendars. Do you and a friend, Donna Skeels Cygan despite your best intentions, never quite manage to get together so that you can catch up over a meal? Give a 2015 calendar and tell him or her that you want to fill up one afternoon or evening each month with a shared meal, movie, drink, walk or cup of coffee. Remember, what gets planned gets done — as opposed to those vague “we should really see each other more often” intentions. You’ll both be enjoying the gift of a deeper friendship by the end of next year.”

7 Ways to Prepare for Winter and Save money In San Diego, we normally don’t have to worry about winter weather. Our pipes aren’t going to freeze, and we aren’t going to spend our mornings shoveling driveways. But with weather forecasters all over Southern California predicting an El Niño winter, and a big one at that, it’s important
that we properly prepare for the coming rainy months and all the possible problems that they can cause homeowners. While you still might not get any sympathy from those living in Buffalo, these seven tips could help you and your house stay dry while at the same time save you money in the long run. 1. Prepare for mudslides. This is a real concern for many homeowners in San Diego County, especially those living in La Jolla. But there are precautions you can take to help prevent the worst from happening. • Be informed. Mudslides usually occur in places where they have happened in the past. Know your land and your area’s history to assess the potential risks. Also be up to date on your insurance policy and what is and is not covered.
• Educating yourself about your property will help you understand if you need to build retaining walls or deflection walls, to direct debris flow around your structure. • It’s a good idea to install flexible pipe fittings to avoid gas and water leaks. • You may want to stock up on sandbags and other similar barrier material. • Lastly, be sure to have am emergency kit, evacuation plan, and phone numbers to local fire and police stations. Getting help immediately, could save your house from damage. 2. Repair and clean rain gutters. While mudslides may be the biggest potential catastrophe, damage to your roof and walls can still be very costly. Clean out dirty and clogged rain gutters and
downspouts. And when repairing gutters, use extra-long lag screws as they tend to be stronger and will hold better. 3. Fix cracks in concrete. While concrete does have a tendency to crack, it can get much worse during winter. If water gets into the cracks and softens the ground underneath, the cracks will worsen and multiply. For cracks up to a quarter inch, you can use concrete caulk. For larger cracks, use concrete patch. It’s better to repair cracks now instead of repairing whole patios and driveways later.

a Jolla High School cheerleaders Reign Salas and Kayla Sabo got a chance to jump, shout and let it all out on the field at Qualcomm Stadium with the San Diego Charger Girls — before thousands of screaming fans. Reign, a sophomore varsity cheer captain, and Kayla, a freshman, each raised a minimum of $175 in donations for the local Makea-Wish Foundation chapter and the San Diego Chargers Community Foundation in order to participate during the Nov. 23 game (along with other participating “Junior Charger Girls”). As the girls took the field, family and friends held up signs urging, ‘Go Insane Kayla and Reign!” Reign’s mother, Patty Belardes, said the honor was particularly special for her and her family — longtime San Diego Charger fans who recently moved to La Jolla from Las Vegas.

Cheer About!
La Jolla High School cheerleaders Kayla Sabo, 14, and Reign Salas, 15, cheered with the San Diego Charger Girls at halftime during the Chargers’ Nov. 23 game against the St. Louis Rams (which the Chargers won, 27-24). Courtesy with the Charger Girls were the roll-offs (aka peel-offs), in which a team is divided into two or more groups and performs the same movement or motion at different times. “I definitely wasn’t as prepared for as many people as there were,” Kayla said. “I
was really nervous before we started, but once we got out there it actually seemed a lot more fun than nervewracking. You know, you only have one shot like that, so you have to make the best of it.” u — Pat Sherman

A specialist in residential real estate, Gutierrez is known for his integrity and focus on community service.
