Whale watching returns The prodigal art dealer returns for yet another season Alexander Salazar returns to La Jolla with downtown gallery experience under his belt
BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS Every year, San Diego plays host to an event that provides tourists with another reason to envy locals. In addition to beaches and parks and the weather that (sort of) cooperates enough to enjoy them year-round, San Diegans get to take advantage of living in an area boasting incredible biological diversity. One of the most impressive environments in which to see mother nature at her best is that property-value-increas-

n three short years, Alexander Salazar has become a trailblazer in the San Diego art world, wearing many hats, including those of art collector, gallery owner, art critic and consultant for private collectors and museums. Salazar, a Harvard graduate with more than 15 years of experience as an art dealer, owns 30,000 square feet of dedicated art space downtown, including two art galleries, two artistin-residency studios and a 20,000square-foot five-level building to house the gallery’s inventory. Salazar is hoping to launch up-andcoming artists into the realm of living legends by opening his sixth space — Salazar Contemporary Art Exhibits La Jolla, located at 1162 Prospect St., with rotating solo exhibits by emerging local artists each month. “La Jolla was good to me when I first came here,” Salazar said. “It only made sense to me to come back to La Jolla and continue what I’m doing, but in a different way — and that’s by supporting local artists.” The temporary gallery will focus on one local artist at a time, giving them most of the gallery to showcase their work, with some of the gallery’s staple artists and sculptors’ work dotting the gallery as well. “Sometimes you go into a gallery and there’s so many things going on that you don’t get to focus,” he said. “Here we encourage people to come in, look at the entire collection so they make a selection based on looking at

Bird Rock Elementary School (BRE) is transforming into a movie theater for two days to highlight the struggles of raising children in America today. The school will host two film screenings of the highly-acclaimed film “Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America’s Achievement Culture” — a documentary complete with compelling real-life stories of students, parents and educators and their struggles with issues like the prevalence of cheating in schools, the rise of stressrelated illness and depression among teens, disengaged students and ill-prepared high school graduates who enter college. “We decided to show ‘Race to
Nowhere’ at Bird Rock Elementary School because we feel that it is important to raise awareness and generate dialogue among parents, students, teachers and school administrators regarding the current assumptions on how to best prepare American youth to become healthy, bright, contributing citizens,” said Ronit Austgen, BRE PTA member and parent. The documentary was produced by a concerned mother-turned-filmmaker who illustrates the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has become a reality for students across the nation. By the end of the film screening, the hope, Austgen said, is that parents, teachers and students can take a numSEE FILM, Page 5

New state laws grow teeth
SB 332 says landlords may prohibit smoking in apartment buildings and other rental properties.
Changes abound for smokers, bullies, workers, animal protectionists BY PATRICIA WALSH | VILLAGE NEWS
Fasten your seats belts (properly) and leave those unloaded handguns at home. A slew of new state laws that took effect Jan. 1 are sure to make life’s ride a little more interesting in 2012. What’s in: recycling for renters and revised standards for use of car seats for children. What’s out: smoking for renters, open carry of unloaded handguns and self-service check out of alcohol at retail stores. In the realm of technology, out-ofstate online businesses will be subject to a California use tax, and digital readers won’t have to worry about Big Brother watching. California will also become more

Arnold Schwarzenegger, was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October. It replaces the old law that required children who were 6 years old or younger — or who weighed at least 60 pounds — to be secured in an appropriate child safety seat or booster seat. The fine for violating the new law (California Vehicle Code section 27360) is $100, plus penalty assessments, which could add up to more than $400.

French Gourmet socked with $387,000 fine for hiring undocumented workers BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS While the owner and manager of The French Gourmet Restaurant were placed on probation for hiring undocumented workers on multiple occasions, the restaurant was fined nearly $387,000 on Dec. 22 by a federal judge. Owner Michel Francois Malecot and manager Richard Kauffmann, both 59, dodged jail time from U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Whelan, even though Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Kanter had asked that Malecot and Kauffmann get six and four months in prison, respectively. Kauffmann and the Turquoise Street restaurant pleaded guilty
Oct. 13 to hiring 10 illegal immigrants. Malecot pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of continuing to employ undocumented workers since first being raided by authorities in the 1990s. The families and friends of both defendants filled the courtroom. After the court hearing, Malecot, flanked by his supporters, was asked by a television reporter if he was satisfied with the sentence. “Well, yes, I don’t really have the choice. I wish it would have never happened,” said Malecot. His lawyer, Eugene Iredale, said Malecot was “too generous, too compassionate to pull the trigger on people who had been working for him for five,
for six or eight years.” “I think the judge did an excellent job … and came to a decision that was fair and just,” said Iredale, who noted the restaurant now employs “100 U.S. citizens,” including part timers. The restaurant never closed following a 2008 raid, in which dozens of illegal aliens were arrested. The restaurant was also fined in the 1990s for employing illegal aliens. “We have lost some catering business … because people don’t realize most businesses in San Diego have a certain percentage of illegal aliens,” said Malecot. The owner said he urged owners of other businesses to try to determine whether a potential employee is ille-
Suspect in cabbie murder found dead off La Jolla The remains of Ismael Lopez, suspected in the Sept. 28 La Jolla murder of cab driver Mir Sahou, were discovered off the coast of La Jolla in November, according to police. On Oct. 24, a recreational diver saw what appeared to be human bones in an underwater reef, approximately 150 yards off the beach near the 200 block of Coast Boulevard. San Diego Lifeguard Services divers and San Diego Police Dive Rescue Team members were alerted and searched for the bones, but did not find them. On Nov. 15, a second diver found bones off the shore, in the same general area as the first report, and turned them over to police. Three subsequent dives by public safety personnel produced additional bones, including part of a skull with a
bullet hole in it. The Medical Examiner’s Office examined the bones while the department’s Crime Lab extracted DNA from them. On Dec. 21, the Crime Lab determined the bones were those of fugitive Ismael Lopez. Lopez was wanted in connection to the shooting death of Sahou. On the evening of Sept. 28, Sahou was working as a self-employed cab driver when he picked up Lopez at an unknown location. The cab stopped in the 8600 block of La Jolla Scenic Drive North, where Lopez allegedly shot Sahou. Lopez fled in the cab, which he abandoned in the 1200 block of Coast Boulevard. Paint transfer on the cab matched marks on the wooden fence above the ocean, leading investigators to conclude Lopez jumped the curb by accident or

What is the proper way to list the beneficiaries on my IRAs? When you open an IRA you fill Answer: out a form and you list one or more Beneficiaries. If you have not reviewed these Beneficiary Designations Forms lately, you should do so now. If you fail to list a beneficiary or if they have died, the asset is part or your estate and may be subject to probate. You Virginia Weber want to avoid this court procedure. Laskowitz The best way to list the beneficiaries is to TRUST LAWYER name an individual or list of individuals. If the spouse is the appropriate beneficiary, it is best to list them as the beneficiary. The spouse can rollover the IRA into their own IRA. Other individuals can rollover the IRA into an inherited IRA, but they will be required to take a yearly minimum distribution. This amount is based on the beneficiaries’ life expectancy and the financial institution will figure it out for you. In certain circumstances you can name a trust as a beneficiary and it can get the same rollover treatment. Check with your financial institution and your estate planning attorney. The benefit of a rollover IRA is that the funds can continue to have tax deferred treatment. The interest income and dividends will not be taxed until the money is taken out of the IRA. Now I have a question for you– Have you funded your Roth IRA yet?

Employment If you’re lucky enough to have work in this economy — or if you are being considered for a job — you could be affected by a slew of new employment laws in 2012. Here’s a snapshot from the California Chamber of Commerce on new rules that have taken effect: • Credit reports: Employers and prospective employers won’t be able to obtain and use consumer credit reports to review job applications beginning this year. AB 22 does not apply to some financial institutions or managerial employees. California is now in a club with Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Oregon and Maryland — the states that have already restricted credit checks by most employers from employment decisions. • Pregnancy disability leave: SB 299 requires all employers with five or more employees to continue to maintain and pay for health coverage under a group health plan for an eligible female employee who takes pregnancy disability leave (PDL) up to a maximum of four months in a 12month period. The benefits are at the same level and under the same conditions as if the employee had continued working during the leave period. • “Gender expression:” AB 887 amends the Fair Employment and Housing Act to further define “gender” to include both actual gender and “gender expression,” as defined by the new law, and to make clear that discrimination on either basis is prohibited. • Genetic information: SB 559 amends the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to state that employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees on the basis of genetic information. • Insurance non-discrimination: SB 757 prevents employers that operate in multiple states from discriminating against same-sex couples by not providing the same insurance coverage for domestic partners as they do for spouses. • Independent contractors: The “willful misclassification” of independent contractors by employers carries penalties ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 under SB 459.

ber of lessons home with them to prepare and inspire the youth of America through healthy means. “First, families and teachers need to examine their practices and see if they need to make changes,” Austgen said. She urged parents to identify individual goals that work for the family dynamics and reduce performance pressure on their child, encouraged students to talk with their parents about stress in their lives and stressed the importance for teachers to become knowledgeable about research on the correlation between homework and academic success. “Communities need to examine school practices to fit the needs of our individual students,” she said. “The purpose of the documentary is to help communities redefine success and achievement for young people by moving away from creating stressed-out students who are not learning to developing engaged lifelong learners through making students’ physical, social and emotional health a national priority.” She said excessive homework, AP classes and high standardized test scores are not necessarily accurate indicators of students’ learning or future success. The film has already ignited a “Homework Pledge” in public schools and districts across the nation. The initiative, which was launched by the film’s online action platform, www.endtherace.org, calls for an elimination of homework on weekends and school breaks to promote healthy learning and growth outside of struc-
5,000-mile journey from the frigid waters of the Arctic to the sunny lagoons of Baja California. The most obvious thing one expects to see on a whale-watching cruise is a whale. This, however, may not happen, and most local companies — Hornblower included — prepare for this with a guarantee: see a whale or get passes for another cruise. Upon boarding the boat, most passengers anxiously anticipate the sight they’ve been promised, hoping they haven’t just paid for one of the few cruises for which the whales choose not to make an appearance. What most don’t expect, however, is what also happens while on board: they have fun, whale or no whale (some might even find themselves hoping they don’t see a whale so they have a free chance to come on board again). As it turns out, our oceans are chock full of life, and passengers would be hard pressed not to find themselves marveling at all the myriad components of our aquatic ecosystems, however large or small. At one point during our cruise, a pod of bottlenose dolphins decided to join us, riding our bow wave — jumping out of the water, turning in circles and spiraling alongside us for a couple of miles. And while, yes, “whale watching” was printed on our tickets, we were pretty satisfied with this display, whether or not it was the cetacean we had paid for. Another pleasant surprise: even for locals, puttering around San Diego Bay and out into the open ocean just off our coast provided an unexpected opportunity to view the city in a way we don’t normally see it.

As for our cruise, we did get the opportunity to see a whale. Not long after we passed through the last buoy marking the bay, the captain spotted a spout a few miles out. We followed it, and were able to find and stay with one gray whale (or possibly two — they look remarkably alike to the layperson), which twice granted us full view of its fluke (or tail) as it headed down for deep dives. We learned, both from the captain and from the on-board volunteer naturalists — trained by the San Diego Museum of Natural History — that gray whales breed every other year, and with a gestation of 12 months, the pregnant females heading down to Mexico at this time of year are likely the same ones we saw last year heading down to breed. They’ll come back this way in the spring with their newborns. We also learned the gray whale gets its namesake not from a naturally occurring color. In fact, the whales are born almost black, but eventually, barnacles that attach themselves to the whales scar the skin as they fall off, leaving behind a mottled, whitish-gray coloration. Whales also have dominant sides of their body, just like humans. Whales that favor their right side tend to have more scarring on that side of their body, and just like humans, “left-handed” whales are in the minority: roughly 15 percent of whales favor their left side. There’s also the possibility, while out on a whale-watching cruise, that passengers might observe some man-made “whales.” Our ship happened upon a helicopter carrier and a Navy submarine — complete with a visibly happy, homeward-bound topside crew — cruising into the bay. The views will change for each individual cruise. Some may see one whale,

OPINION
GUEST COMMENTARY
Razing of Windemere Cottage a catastrophic loss of community’s heritage John Bolthouse Admirers of La Jolla’s architectural and cultural heritage are deeply saddened by the recent demolition of historic Windemere Cottage, formerly located at 1328 Virginia Way. This incredible 1894 structure was one of the first designs of Irving Gill, a celebrated master architect who would later conceive other icons of La Jolla and San Diego: The Bishop’s School, Wisteria Cottage, La Jolla Women’s Club, La Jolla Recreation Center and many others. Windemere’s Orientinfluenced “flying” eves, decorative roof brackets and rare, two-story, single-wall construction made this Craftsman-style architecture unique among California’s disappearing turn-of-thecentury beach bungalows. Originally located on Prospect Street, Windemere was moved to Virginia Way in 1927 — a common occurrence in La Jolla throughout the 20th century, for even as our community grew, Windemere and other La Jolla structures of historic significance and architectural character were deemed worthy of preservation. Until now. During late summer of 2011, with indications that the cottage was at risk of being demolished, the La Jolla Historical Society and its allies worked hard to convince San Diego’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) to grant historic designation and, hence, greater protections. The society conducted extensive research to build its case, and the preponderance of the documentary evidence clearly showed Windemere met at least the minimum threshold for HRB’s own designation standards. The society’s efforts to secure historic designation were strongly supported by the La Jolla Town Council and Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO). In an astonishing move, however, HRB staff advised against designating Windemere as historic. Then, at its September meeting, the HRB board, operating under a confounding process that truncated due diligence, failed to support historic designation. Given this decision, and the lack of an appeals process, the La Jolla Historical Society reached out to the property’s new owner in late November to broach the idea of allowing the cot-
tage to be relocated to another site. We gave our word to the owner that, if given such an opportunity, the society would do everything it could to expedite the move and limit the owner’s financial burden as much as possible. The owner was receptive to the idea and a partnership seemed to emerge. The society had every indication that a mutually beneficial compromise was at hand. Our volunteers and staff began surveying locations in La Jolla for the relocation of Windemere and we expected to begin taking the next steps after the first of the new year. Then we woke up on Dec. 23. We were shocked to watch this 117-yearold cottage ignominiously deposited in dumpsters after a morning of hastened demolition. And in the blink of an eye, another piece of our heritage was gone. How could this have happened? Our questions about the process are many. We want to know how the city of San Diego could grant a demolition permit without the state-required coastal development permit. Ultimately, we want to understand why the city’s historical review process seems so stacked against preservation. The culture within our local government that permits the systematic disregard and removal of the historic landscape is disheartening. It is here where our collective disappointment should be directed. As long as we as a community accept a status quo that devalues the heritage of our built environment, expect more Windemeres in the future. The La Jolla Historical Society believes that preservation and progress are not mutually exclusive. Preservation is progress. The extraordinary historic architecture of Pasadena, Santa Barbara, San Antonio, Texas and Charleston, S.C, stand as shining examples of communities that not only value their heritage but incentivize their protection. And they enforce these values, as reflected in the culture these communities demand of their government. It’s up to us, La Jolla. Demand better. — John Bolthouse is Executive Director of the La Jolla Historical Society.
NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS With 2012 just days old, the La Jolla Village News asked several community members what their hopes are for the new year. Some of them gave us a peek at their personal goals, while others shared their aspirations for the community as a whole. It would be nice, every day during this year, to find a way to show thanks for the gift of living in La Jolla, nestled between the blue sea and the green hills, whose alluring beauty is perfectly complemented by so many kind, thoughtful and generous friends who gratefully share this same good fortune. Rick Wildman, La Jolla Town Council president Here are our predictions for 2012: • La Jolla will become a hotbed of thriving small businesses, with nary a “For Lease” sign to be found. • The real estate market will revive just enough to keep locals out of foreclosure and homes at affordable prices. • The weather will maintain its glorious norm, save for at least one day of snow so our children can experience a true white Christmas. • School budget issues will become a thing of the past as our representatives will recognize the importance of education over pensions. • Restaurants will be required to provide outdoor dining and, in doing so, will find themselves on a clear path to success for years to come. • Children will be made to appreciate all the wonderful things we enjoy about living in La Jolla, recognize this lifestyle is unlike what most of the world experiences and will take that knowledge and work to improve the lives of others. • The tourists will still flock to our resortlike town to stay in its world-renowned hotels and shop and dine by the sea, but will arrive on foot, so that finding a parking
spot and getting down Girard Avenue will not require the patience of Job or 10 gallons of gas during the summer or holidays. • The seals will stay with us, but instigate a swim hour each day, during which they’ll promise to nap on shore while the swimmers get their workout — like open lap swimming in the local pool, the seals will create “Open Cove Swimming.” • And, finally, La Jolla will continue to become the town we know it can be: friendly, generous, pothole-free, open, flourishing and full of neighborly love. Happy New Year to all! Michael and Jennifer Spengler, owners of Studio M Photography and PR in a Flash I am very impressed that the sense of community and mutual support seems to be returning to La Jolla. What makes La Jolla such a world-class area to live, work or visit is the stunning natural beauty, the charming neighborhood village feel and the diverse people who make up our community. My hope for 2012 is that we continue to work together with cooperation and have the strength and compassion to appreciate our differences and debate civilly on how to improve our quality of life. Our special events — Christmas Parade, LJ Art & Wine Festival, Concours d'Elegance and other events in the Cove (and potentially a major 2012 film festival) — enhance the richness of our experiences together. I hope we continue to produce such events, and if I had my way, add a little more nightlife to the Village. Others call it paradise, we call it home! John Weinstein, LJTC second vice president
For 2012, I would like to do more shopping in La Jolla prior to going online or elsewhere. Also, I need to drink less diet soda and do more yoga. Katie Dillon, La Jolla Living, LLC 2011 saw a resurgence in community pride. La Jolla was made a better place with major private and public improvements; including putting the art back in the art colony, cleaning street by street, reclaiming coastal access, preserving our past, turning on the lights, fixing and enhancing our streets, bringing back shoppers and rallying to those in need. My hope for 2012 is that we expand on that pride and engagement. Whether as an individual or as part of an organization, whether one steps up or simply funds up, let’s make 2012 the year we all get involved. Pick a project, pick a cause, or pick an organization; let’s continue making good things happen in La Jolla. Joe LaCava, LJCPA trustee We both vow not to improve ourselves this year. Audrey Geisel and columnist Natasha Josefowitz Three words to describe 2011 for me! OOH LA LA! The grand opening of Ooh La La Dance Academy in the Village has been my greatest milestone. The power of dance changes life beyond imagination, touches depths and inspires the human soul. My 17 dance master instructors and I look forward to growing with La Jolla. Salsa Susie Nguyen, owner of Ooh La La Dance Academy
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Our family is pleased to announce our lawsuit against the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) and the city of San Diego has been resolved. With the filing of our lawsuit, we wanted both the LJCPA and the city to acknowledge the automatic appeal policy and procedures of the LJCPA were inconsistent with City Council Policy 600-24 and their own cityapproved bylaws. Although our family is regretful as applicants we were required to take this course of action, the purpose in filing and pursing our lawsuit has been accomplished. The LJCPA has been instructed to incorporate its appeal policy and procedures into its city-reviewed and approved bylaws. In order to comply with the city’s request, the LJCPA has established an ad hoc committee instructed to rewrite and incorporate their appeal policy and procedures into their city-approved bylaws. We are hopeful the ad hoc committee members read and understand City Council Policy 600-24, Appeal Procedure Information
Bulletin 505 and Information Bulletin 620 (Community Planning Committees) prior to rewriting and submitting their appeal policy and procedures to the city. Following the city’s receipt of the ad hoc committee’s request, the city planning staff will review the amendment language for content and conformance with Council Policy 600-24, the city-approved bylaws shell and the Brown Act and submit their appeal policy and procedures to the City Attorney’s Office for review. Following city review, staff will work with the ad hoc committee on any needed changes. If the ad hoc committee’s appeal policy and procedures conform to the City Council Policy 600-24, the city-approved bylaws shell and the Brown Act, they will be approved administratively by signature of the deputy director of planning and the deputy city attorney. Additionally, since the filing of our lawsuit, the city of San Diego on Aug. 4 changed the San Diego Municipal Code to comply with California state law concerning their own appeal

review process involving environmental appeals. Having accomplished our goals, we have decided to dismiss our lawsuit and concentrate in 2012 on obtaining the final approval from San Diego City Council for our mixed-use project on our 3,952square-foot commercial lot. To date, our project has been approved by the city of San Diego planning staff, a city hearing officer and the San Diego Planning Commission. Based on District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s request, we will now prepare a costly full environmental impact review for the City Council’s final approval. We want to thank the many La Jolla residents who have logged on to www.lajollashorestoday.com and registered their continued support for our dream and the fundamental concept of personal property rights that we all share as residents of La Jolla.

“La Jolla is an exciting town, but it seems like there’s been a lull,” he said. “A lot of art galleries have gone out of business. It’s my philosophy that it’s not the art dealer. It’s not the space.

My goal is to bring in the art with the support of the marketing that the gallery has already established itself with.” He is seeking property owners in La Jolla who have vacant storefronts and are willing to allow him to display monthly temporary art exhibits until the owners find a permanent renter, “so that there isn’t another empty window in La Jolla,” he said. “I’m keeping the inventory fresh. If it doesn’t sell in an exhibit, it goes back.

Recognizing the need for outside help in caregiving Caregivers often don’t recognize when they are in over their heads, and often get to a breaking point. After a prolonged period of time, caregiving can become too difficult to endure any longer. Short-term, the caregiver can handle it. Long-term, support is needed. Outside help at this point is often necessary. A typical pattern with an overloaded caregiver may unfold as follows: • 1 to 18 months--the caregiver is confident, has everything under control and is coping well. Other
friends and family are lending support. • 20 to 36 months--the caregiver may be taking medication to sleep and control mood swings. Outside help dwindles away and except for trips to the store or doctor, the caregiver has severed most social contacts. The caregiver feels alone and helpless. • 38 to 50 months--Besides needing tranquilizers or antidepressants, the caregiver's physical health is beginning to deteriorate. Lack of focus and sheer fatigue cloud judgment and the caregiver is often unable to make rational decisions or ask for help. It is often at this stage that family or friends intercede and find other solutions for care. This may include respite care, hiring home health aides or putting the disabled loved one in a facility. Without intervention, the caregiver may become a candidate for long term care as well...read this entire article by going to www.planforcare.org.

Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas In 1890, the Sisters of Mercy opened a five-bed dispensary named St. Joseph’s at Sixth and Market in downtown San Diego. A year later, it relocated to Eighth and University avenues, and moved again in 1924 to its present Fifth and Washington address, where it was renamed Mercy Hospital. Fast-forwarding to 1995, Mercy — by then grown to 520 beds, eight healthcare centers, more than 2,400 employees and 943 physicians — joined the Scripps system. The hospital has made many friends along the way, including the Mercy 1000 — donors who make annual gifts of $1,000 or more. The Mercy Hospital Foundation and the Sisters of Mercy annually invite the Mercy 1000 members to a holiday reception, the most recent of which was held in the Verandah Ballroom of the La Valencia Hotel on Dec. 7. Graciously hosted by Mary and Dan Mulvihill (Mercy Foundation founders) and Lata and Ashok Israni (of Pacifica Companies, the La V’s new owner), the elegant affair began with cocktails, tray-passed hors d’oeuvres and a sumptuous buffet of beautifully prepared foods. A saxophonist and a
keyboardist entertained throughout the evening with jazz stylings and holiday tunes. Mo King, chairman of the foundation, presented a short program highlighting the progress of the hospital. She introduced second-generation board members Michael Mulvihill and Tom Mulvaney (sons of previous board members), and then Mercy chief executive Tom Gammiere, who thanked the Mercy 1000 members for their generosity and for “helping us to continue to serve the mission that the sisters brought here so many years ago.” He read a letter from a fifth-grade student whose class had visited Mercy. She penned, “I decided to write to you because you do so much for our community. You help sick people, and most of the time they’ve done better.” Sister Mary Joanne DeVicente, CEO of Mercy Hospital until her recent retirement, was there. It’s said her efforts raised more than $100 million for Mercy during her tenure. She thanked the donors for the part they had played, saying “… and will continue to do so — right?!” (The response seemed positive.) The Jan. 4 dedication of Mercy’s new Conrad Prebys Emergency and Trauma Center was also announced, and guests socialized happily for the rest of the evening.

The next day, the wonderfully elegant Timken Museum of Art in Balboa Park (adjacent to the much larger San Diego Museum of Art) hosted its annual holiday party. Phemie Davis chaired the affair, with Linda Blair and Ruth Stan-
SOCIETY ton co-chairing. They did all the decorations, basing their theme on John Singleton Copley’s portrait of Mrs. Thomas Gage (a work in the Timken’s collection). Linens, chairs, floral décor and centerpieces — all were selected with faithful adherence to that Colonial American theme. And the food was fabulous! English items included cottage pie and lamb Cornish pastries; colonial American dishes featured Virginia ham and blue crab corn fritters; and there were such Turkish treats as honey figs with feta, and apricot game hen pilavi with almonds, raisins and exotic spices. Desserts ran to English bread pudding, chocolate chestnut cake and helva apple crumble. A tasteful addition was a string ensemble playing 18th century music. Tim Zinn, the Timken’s new board chairman, spoke, thanking outgoing chairman Gary Meads for his 13 years of service. Gary was known as “The Dragonslayer” because of his talent for solving difficult problems. He instituted the Timken’s first strategic plan and also headed the search committee that brought the energetic John Wilson in as executive director in 2008. (Tim just spent a week in London, where he
found that John is very highly regarded by the cognoscenti at Christie’s and Sotheby’s.) Announcing the inauguration of a newsletter that will disseminate word of the Timken’s activities, Tim said “We’re the best-kept secret in town, and we want to become better known.” While in London, Tim stopped at the Timken: above: George and Alison Gildred, John and Annasue Wilson (he’s Button Queen, Timken executive director), Lisa Zinne, Salah Hassanein which (he claimed) Below: Joe and Linda Satz, Murray and Patty Rome, Pamela Hartwell, Maurice has 3 million differ- Kawashima ent kinds of buttons.

Surfing community Well-known surfer and La Jolla native Ted “Shred” Smith died while surfing at Windansea beach on New Year’s Eve. Smith collapsed in the water and was hauled to shore by friends, where lifeguard and fire-rescue personnel administered CPR. The cause of death is not known at this time. He was 52. Smith, an avid short boarder and mainstay in the surfing community, was honored that night with a bonfire memorial, right. The beach where he died has been scattered with tributes to the beloved surfer, including flowers, candles, photos and messages like “RIP Ted Smith” spraypainted onto the sides of the pump station. Virtual memorials were set up, as well. Websites for organizations like the Windansea Surf Club, Surfline and Boardistan posted obituaries for Smith. On www.hungrywalrus.com, John Maher wrote, “Ted surfed really good, always rode a shortboard, and looked for the barrel. One Christmas morning years ago, I watched Ted surf perfect, sunny, glassy WindanSea better than anyone else in the lineup. He got barreled ten times before walking up the beach with a huge smile. That’s one of the many awesome memories I’ll always have of him.” — Staff

Polar bears in La Jolla
Family awarded nearly $18 million in UC jet crash
The annual Polar Bear Plunge, hosted by the La Jolla Swim Club, took place on New Year’s Day. Hundreds — some in party dresses — celebrated the new year in the chilly waters (the water temperature was a brisk 58 degrees) at La Jolla Shores on a foggy morning that usually would have drawn few beach goers.

A federal judge awarded nearly $18 million in damages on Dec. 28 to the extended family of relatives of four people who were killed in 2008 when a Marine Corps jet crashed into their University City home after losing both engines. At the start of the trial on Dec. 13, the United States admitted sole liability for the crash, which occurred after the jet took off from an aircraft carrier for a routine training exercise. Both sides waived having a jury to decide damages. U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey Miller ordered $9.6 million to go to Don Yoon, 41, who lost his wife, Youngmi Yoon, 36, his 15-month-old daughter, Grace, his 7-week-old daughter, Rachel and his mother-inlaw, Seokim Kim-Lee, 59, in the
Dec. 8, 2008 crash. The rest of the award went to Yoon’s father-in-law, Sanghyun Lee, 67, and Lee’s three adult children, some of who live in South Korea. Both sides agreed on a $65,000 loss on material possessions like clothing and Yoon’s belongings, who was at work when the jet crashed into the home. Yoon’s attorneys had asked for $56 million for all parties, but after seeing the judge’s written ruling, they said they were satisfied. The U.S. Attorney asked financial experts to calculate how much Yoon’s wife would have earned as a nurse had she lived, but a specific award was not suggested. Yoon testified he has been unable to work since the crash. His two children were buried in his wife’s casket and he visits the gravesite daily, he said.
Yoon said he looks forward to being reunited with his family in heaven. “That is all I have to look forward to,” he said. Because the government admitted to military negligence, there was no testimony about mechanical defects in the plane or the traffic controllers who urged the pilot to keep flying to Miramar. The student pilot, 1st Lt. Dan Neubauer, told controllers he lost his second engine three miles short of Miramar and tried to aim the jet toward a canyon. Neubauer safely ejected 17 seconds before the jet crashed and was not injured. A number of military personnel lost their jobs afterwards. — Neal Putnam

Tile and Grout Cleaning Specialists Have Floors Sparkling and Homeowners Smiling As many homeowners know, keeping a clean and beautiful home can be a full-time job. After picking up, doing the dishes, vacuuming the floors, folding the laundry, and gardening, most homeowners don’t have the time or energy to tackle their grout and tile floors. Cleaning your floors by hand can be a lengthy and frustrating process, and sometimes no matter how hard you scrub your grout it still doesn’t look clean. Perhaps it is time to turn to the professionals. Professional tile and grout cleaners can come to your home and apply a certified green cleaning agent to your floors. Then they use a commercial scrubber to remove dirt and debris, followed by a steam extraction of your soiled grout lines. Once your floors are sparkling clean, a solvent-based sealer is applied to your grout lines to ensure easier cleaning for years to come. For more information on tile, grout, and upholstery cleaning, you can contact Frank Blake Tile & Cleaning, a company with 15 years experience serving San Diego, at (619) 264-7676.
