Parents explore LJ schools cluster BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS Parents from La Jolla’s schools want to ensure that their voices are heard loud and clear before school district officials. A group of 10 parents (two from each school) is working to organize La Jolla’s schools into an official cluster, similar to the Point Loma cluster, in the hope of building a strong platform to represent the schools before the Board of Education. The group presented its ideas before a favorable crowd of 130 parents, teachers and administrators at the inaugural La Jolla cluster meeting on Jan. 21 at La Jolla High
School auditorium. “We’ll have a much stronger voice if the district understands what we need,” said Lisa Bonebrake, a parent of a first- and a third-grader at Bird Rock Elementary. “If the district knows that we’re speaking for 5,000 families, we’ll have a much louder advocacy than one parent standing up there asking for the district to save a program.” Board of Education member John de Beck, who represents the coastal schools, said the cluster isn’t going to solve the budget crisis but it’s a start.

Bandits get 3 years for violating parole BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS After a judge said bluntly “you guys blew it,” three members of the so-called Bird Rock Bandits were sentenced Jan. 22 to three years in state prison for violating terms of their probation that the judge described as “the break of a lifetime” for their roles in the 2007 beating death of professional surfer Emery Kauanui Jr. “What a sad ending to senseless conduct. I promised each of you if you violated probation, I would send you to prison,” said San Diego Superior Court Judge John Einhorn. “I am living up to my side of the sentencing … The overriding concern of mine is that I do consider them still a danger to the community.” Matthew Yanke, 23, Orlando Osuna, 24, and Eric House, 22, all of La Jolla, got prison after the judge revoked terms of their 2008 probation after they pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. A murder charge was dropped after they reached a plea agreement in 2008, and Seth Cravens, now 24, stood trial alone and was convicted of second-degree murder. Cravens is serving 20 years to life in prison.
“You guys blew it. I’m done being your cheerleader. At the time of sentencing, I clearly told you that you were getting the break of a lifetime.” JUDGE JOHN EINHORN SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT
The Bird Rock Bandits were known as a group who sometimes crashed parties and punched people, mostly with Cravens as the lead attacker. It was Cravens’ lethal punch to Kauanui’s face that caused his death when his skull was fractured after his head hit the pavement in front of his La Jolla home on May 24, 2007. He died four days later in a hospital. “You guys blew it. I’m done being your cheerleader,” Einhorn said. “At the time of sentencing, I clearly told you that you were getting the break of a lifetime. I find it to be significant violations.” All three tested positive for marijuana use in 2009, with Osuna testing positive in nine separate tests. They were barred from associating with each other, drinking alcohol or visiting nightclubs or bars for three years. The
judge heard testimony from Kauanui’s girlfriend who said she saw Yanke and Osuna together in a nightclub Dec. 4. Deputy District Attorney Sophia Roach introduced evidence from the trio’s Facebook pages, including photos that suggested they were drinking alcohol and were fraternizing. House and Yanke were seen together at a chili cook off. Roach said a news photo of Cravens was posted in which they wrote they “wished Cravens well.” Roach urged four-year prison terms. She said the marijuana use was “really a slap in the face” to probation conditions. Roach said the trio had contacted people they were barred from associating with and had traveled outside San Diego County without permission. The prosecutor said House was in possession of a firearm during deer hunting season in another state. Felons are barred from contact with firearms. Attorneys for all three men urged that probation be reinstated, and each offered their client to waive all 246 days already served in jail in order to get up to a year in jail with probation. Osuna’s lawyer, Kerry Yianilos, said marijuana SEE PAROLE, Page 3

“It’s a good way to position yourself,” de Beck said. “If the school board listens — that’s another thing.” The Point Loma schools found that organizing as a cluster enabled them to develop a shared strategic plan between the schools, according to Christy Scadden, president of the Point Loma Cluster Schools Foundation. Together, the schools determined common values, formed a vision statement and worked to build programs across the cluster, which can be seen at www.pointloma cluster.com. “I think our stakeholders feel like they have an organized voice,” Scadden said. “When we do bring it before the board, there’s an identifiable source. The [district] knows where it’s coming from and why.” Board of Education member John Lee Evans compared a school cluster to the community planning groups that make recommendations on landuse issues to City Council. “The ability to come together and make decisions and advocate back to the school district is very important,” Evans said. The group plans to survey parents and staff to gauge their support for forming a cluster. The La Jolla Cluster would include La Jolla High, Muirlands Middle, and Bird Rock, La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary schools. Forming a cluster would also foster better communication between schools, the group of parents said. The cluster could help establish curriculum priorities across the schools, and perhaps coordinate fund-raising. For example, the cluster could help ensure each elementary school pro-

vides a strong foundation in technology learning so students arrive at the middle school with a similar knowledge in the subject. “I hope the cluster would create better dialogue with the middle school to help ease parents’ anxieties about their kids moving to the middle school,” said Alison Lee, president of the Muirlands Foundation. The cluster would not replace the activities of the foundations or PTAs, however, nor would it use funds from the foundations to become established. The cluster would have to raise funds — or rely on parents for pro bono work — to establish a 501 C3 nonprofit. Each school would nominate two parents and two staff members to serve on the cluster committee. It took three years for Point Loma to organize its cluster, but Bonebrake believes La Jolla can organize much more quickly because it already has a model to follow, as well as active parents to implement it.

autonomy in its curriculum — or even to form charter schools or break away as a separate costal school district — are not off the table. “Nothing is off the table, but we need to unify as a cluster first to do this,” Bonebrake said. In 2002, La Jolla High School managed to negotiate an autonomous agreement with the school district to gain more control over its curriculum since the high school has strong student achievement levels.

THE PREVALENCE OF DEPRESSION IN THE ELDERLY Researchers estimate that 20 percent of elderly people living in nursing homes or assisted living experience symptoms of depression. Late in life depression can have serious repercussions. It can increase mortality and disability, may result in higher health care utilization and longer hospital stays. An estimated 15 percent of U.S. adults are providing care for seriously ill or disabled relatives. These family caregivers are simultaneously caring for their own children and also often working outside the home. Add the problem of elder depression in perhaps one in five of all family caregiving relationships and you can see the problem is huge. Many families don’t even know what they’re dealing with or how to care for their loved one when they don’t fully understand what is happening to that family member. Elderly people themselves will “ignore the blackness that descends on them” because it is hard for them to move away from the belief that depression is a sign of weakness and a result of flawed character. Also, they may think they should just handle things. That’s where the RN Case Managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants can help. They can recognize the warning signs of depression and can help advocate for your family member with their family doctor.

Attorneys noted that no new crimes were charged. As to their associating with one another, attorney Earll Pott, who represents House, said it was “the inability to close the door on friendships formed since childhood.” “I’m worried about going to prison. I’m flat out scared,” Yanke told the judge. He said he smoked marijuana after running out of costly medication to treat a psychiatric illness. Roach responded to Yanke’s statement about costly medication, saying that “marijuana is not free.” “I should have been following my probation conditions,” Osuna said. “I am sorry for the anguish I caused. I am not a threat to my community.” House didn’t say anything Friday, but he told probation officials he smoked marijuana because of the stress of the civil lawsuit that is pending against them all.

“... if our school had to survive solely on what the district gave us, it would be a very bleak and meager existence teaching at La Jolla High School for the sciences and the arts, math and English.”
BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS Finding money for La Jolla High School has grown into a hobby for physics teacher Martin Teachworth, who has taught at the school for the past 20 years. Teachworth has become rather apt at applying for grants from any hand that will extend funds, including the federal government, major companies and charity Websites. Teachworth sees himself as another fund-raising arm for the high school to provide materials and opportunities for students that exceed the curriculum requirements. He has pulled in an estimated $60,000 in grants for the high school in the past five years. “If people out there are willing to donate, let them help La Jolla High School,” Teachworth said. “Negating anything that comes from the alumni association, PTA or La Jolla Foundation, if our school had to survive solely on what the district gave us, it would be a very bleak and meager existence teaching at La Jolla High School for the sciences and the arts, math and English.” Teachworth is all over the place, asking for everything. He posted requests on the nationwide, online charity for schools, DonorsChoose.org, for seemingly small requests that strangers have paid for, such as medicine balls to demonstrate inertia, markers and crayons for drawing diagrams and meter tape and stopwatches. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match donations that equip students for college. “They’re tiny things that, in theory, we could get the school to pay for but I’m supplementing,” said Teachworth, whose children attend the high school.

MARTIN TEACHWORTH Teacher, La Jolla High School
La Jolla High School physics teacher Martin Teachworth is utilizing many avenues to garner grants for the school, in order to provide materials and opportunities for students above what the district can give.
Teachworth isn’t only pulling in money for his own classroom, however. The time-consuming grants he’s written have benefited various sectors of the school. For the past 16 years, Teachworth has successfully applied for a $1,000 grant from the Armed Forces Communication and Electronic Association. Auto shop students have used some of the money to convert a gas-powered car into an electric-powered vehicle. The grant has empowered other students to learn hands-on skills like soldering and electrical work, which has helped students land internships, Teachworth said.

Teachworth pulled in a $10,000 grant from British Petroleum, also for the electric-powered automobile project wherein auto shop students converted the gas car into electric. The graphic arts students photographed the project and the physics students learned about the process. Four years ago, Best Buy granted the high school $17,500 to purchase computers, digital cameras and colored printers — yes, thanks to a grant Teachworth wrote, and his list goes on. “The special project that we have the kids doing — I couldn’t justify asking the community to raise the money because a lot of those things go totally above and beyond the curriculum for the state,” Teachworth said. Currently in the pipeline, Teachworth is asking philanthropic-minded strangers on DonorsChoose.org to dip into their pockets and supply his class with eight Bunsen burners, burner tips and a convection of gas apparatus on DonorsChoose.org. His set is too old and too dangerous. Teachworth is unsure why people are willing to donate online to schools they may have no connection with, but he welcomes the generosity. Teachworth hasn’t had any takers yet for the Bunsen burners, but the word’s out. I

Coffee Roasters serves up Bird Rock history BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS The Bird Rock train station was tiny and architecturally fitting, built from rocks from the area shores. It was the only structure in sight standing next to a dirt road and a field of scrub near what is now La Jolla Hermosa. Train tracks had once run along the dirt road but the city had pulled them in 1918 to lay down trolley tracks nearby instead. The black-and-white photo hung at the hamburger joint, Boll Weevil, and it had captivated Philomène Offen, who has lived on La Jolla Hermosa for the past 37 years. The photo disappeared when Boll Weevil went bankrupt last year. Offen frantically searched for the photo fearing it would be destroyed. Her search quickly progressed into a 250-hour-long project to piece together parts of Bird Rock’s history, which ultimately led to the creation of the Bird Rock History Museum that opened in November. The museum is essentially a small exhibit that hangs on a wall at the coffee shop, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, at 5627 La Jolla Blvd. “I discovered that Bird Rock had more history than I could ever imagine,” Offen said. Offen spent hours tracking down La Jolla High School alumni, researching the San Diego Historical Society and flipping through archives of the La Jolla Light newspaper. She began to make friends with octogenarians who possess valuable memories and archives. Offen found dozens of photos at the San Diego Historical Society for $40 a pop. “It was heartbreaking,” Offen said. “I was drooling all over these photos. If I had $1,600, I would have bought all
40 of them.” Offen said she had never undertaken a history project before. She is now retired after working as an administrative assistant at the University of California, San Diego for 21 years. Chronologically, the exhibit starts with photos of Japanese farmers at the turn of the 20th century who grew vegetables on vast, flat farms spreading across Bird Rock and Pacific Beach before the government rounded them up and sent them to internment camps after Pearl Harbor. Like many small communities, world history touched Bird Rock in significant ways but left no visible traces or memorials when the times changed. During World War II, the U.S. Navy stationed a gunnery school at the foot of the Calumet cliffs. The location of the school was not publicized in newspapers to avoid attack, but it became a great source of entertainment for neighborhood kids who kept a close ear to the radio to wait for parachuting “targets” to land on streets nearby if the sailors failed to shoot them down. The adolescents often got to the parachutes first and striped them bare of their engines and radios before the Navy could arrive to retrieve them. The exhibit shows a photo of a young boy poking his head out from within a silk parachute. A grave tragedy struck off the shores of Bird Rock in 1917 when two submarines collided during a foggy storm. Nineteen sailors died and a submarine sank, which remains at the bottom of the ocean adjacent to Bird Rock to this day. Charles Lindbergh apparently ate his last meal at the Bird Rock Inn before departing for his transatlantic flight. The restaurant had been built from
smooth stones brought up from the Shores, and is now a private residence on Dolphin Place. The exhibit also shows there are elements of history that continue to recycle themselves as part and parcel of community and democratic life. Twenty-nine residents gathered to protest an unwanted neighborhood development in 1946 when Standard Oil proposed building two more gasoline storage tanks on a resident’s property. The neighbors ultimately prevailed. “It was the first example of community activism in Bird Rock,” Offen said. Since the advent of the car, calming traffic has continued to dominate community planning as newspaper articles show from the 1950s. Bird Rock Elementary School has bounced between having too few students and facing the threat of closure in 1981 and presently as the school district contemplates closing the school to save money – to a time when the school couldn’t accept all its students in 2003. The exhibit ends with a question to the community: “Should the community resurrect the rock sign that once spelled out ‘Bird Rock’ atop the scrub bluffs?” Responses so far have been varied. Offen never did discover who had placed the white washed rocks there in the first place or who had cut the brush around them to keep the rock sign visible, but she did track down a La Jolla alum living in Hawaii who admitted mischievously to rearranging the rocks to spell out “Turd Rock.” A photo of the prank hangs in the exhibit. During her investigation, Offen learned that Bird Rock was largely dis-

regarded by the La Jolla village as a place where its working class employees lived. Offen said she had difficulty unearthing history about the community. “Bird Rock was never where the mover and shakers lived,” Offen said. “It was where the help for the village lived, and a place to drive through…Even to this day, a lot of people don’t consider Bird Rock to be a
part of La Jolla.” Offen welcomes photos and stories to contribute to the history museum. E-mail her at philoff@san.rr.com.

Room Bandit” who held up two pet stores in Point Loma and La Jolla and committed 18 other robberies in San Diego, was sentenced Jan. 25 to 14 years in state prison. San Diego Superior Court Judge Kathleen Lewis ordered Jones to pay restitution of $160 and $135 respectively for the robberies of Pet People stores on Midway Drive and Villa La Jolla Drive that occurred during a month-long crime spree in September and October. Lewis also ordered restitution of nearly $4,000 to other stores Jones robbed. Deputy District Attorney Amy Maund said Jones selected small stores with only one or two female employees on duty and ordered them to the back of the store while he took money from the register. Jones pleaded guilty Dec. 3 and Lewis gave him credit for 98 days spent in jail. Jones lived in Tijuana and was arrested Oct. 31 at the San Ysidro border crossing. Police agencies had identified him from fingerprints left at the stores, leading to a warrant for his arrest. Jones’ attorney, Mel Epley, said her client only used a pellet gun and

THURSDAY · JANUARY 28, 2010 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
No willing witness to catastrophes: longevity in this world
T
he other day I saw on television some scientists who said that within our lifetime, we will be able to live till 150 and stay healthy. I’m in my early eighties and started contemplating living another 70 years. To my own surprise, that did not sound very appealing. I sort of feel “done.” I have traveled to wherever I had wanted to go and have lost my wanderlust; I have seen a lot of theater, listened to a multitude of concerts, danced, sang, played. I have not missed a thing. So while I still enjoy a good play or symphony and a dinner at a fine restaurant, I do not need to live longer in order to see, hear or eat more. I used to like shopping; now I’m happy to just wear out what hangs in my closet — no, it’s not the latest fashion, but the slacks with the elastic waistband and the shirt that goes over it will do just fine. One of my main reasons for not wanting to live till 150 is the current
state of the world. I do not wish to be a witness to its disintegration. Just reading about the coming famines that will engulf a large number of people, the climate changes that will create draughts and floods, the rising oceans that will displace millions of people living on coasts who will have to migrate inland to already overpopulated areas and will surely not be welcomed, not to speak of drowning polar
bears and all those animals losing their habitats. I don’t want to worry about rogue dictators with nuclear capacities nor about the increasing disparity between very rich and very poor and all this leading to civil unrest and more wars. As the world’s religions are leaning more toward extremism, terrorism is on the rise. Right now, I am safe in my little cocoon of a retirement community —
surrounded by friends with not a care in the world, except for reading the newspapers and getting upset about the treatment of prisoners or the orphan children who have lost their parents to AIDS or the emaciated mothers with dying infants trekking through the desert to escape the invaders, the killings, the rapes, or the soldiers returning with post-traumatic stress syndrome and our hospitals unable to cope with the numbers. Reading the papers, watching TV and realizing that none of this will get better, why would anyone want to live to see all this get worse? And yet, what amazes me is that we still complain when the soup is served lukewarm or the haircut is not becoming or we misplace our keys. Yes, I get upset if I gain a couple of pounds or my children forget to call on Mother’s Day. How is it possible to worry about such mundane matters when the rest of the world is collapsing under the
weight of incompetence, greed and lack of planning, lack of caring? Are we all in denial about the worldwide suffering? No, I don’t want to live until 150. I’m ready to go at a minute’s notice. I am done; it’s been a great adventure; I have participated; I have also led; I pioneered some; I have loved well, raised good children, seen grandchildren prosper. No, I’m not saying I want to die — I’m enjoying this present ride too much to let go voluntarily — but I’m not extending this beyond the normal expectations. There is nothing left undone. So, in the meantime, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s lunch with friends, to seeing that good movie and reading that book everyone is talking about. I’m looking forward to going to bed with the sound of the ocean through the open window and hearing my husband’s steady breathing by my side. This is still absolutely wonderful, but not for another 70 or so years. I
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Celebrate scouting! La Jolla United Methodist Church will celebrate Scout Sunday on Sunday, Jan. 31, at 10 a.m. The contributions to church and community by scouting organizations is significant, and this Sunday has been set aside to recognize all of our community scouting organizations and their leaders, past and present. La Jolla United Methodist Church is especially proud of Boy Scout Troop 506, founded 46 years ago and chartered by the church ever since. Over the years, Troop 506 has produced 56 Eagle Scouts. It currently consists of 40 youths and 16 registered adult leaders, led by Scoutmaster Clark Smith. The ultimate mission of Troop 506 is to impart the principles of the Scout Oath and Law and to enable the boys to grow into ethical and self-reliant young men. That mission is being fulfilled! Community service is a hallmark of the troop. Recent Eagle projects have included creating a meditation garden at La Jolla Congregational Church; renovating the exterior of the Florence Riford Senior Center; improving areas of Crest Canyon, Balboa, Marian Bear and Torrey Pines parks; completing numerous projects at La Jolla High, Pacific Beach and La Jolla elementary schools, the La Jolla United Methodist Church Pre-School, and for the Audubon Society. The troop also sponsors an annual Christmas service project for the needy and helps out its home church every March after the annual rummage sale. Troop 506 scouts also like to have fun with events such as backpacking

They enjoy many such activities plus overnight camping trips to local parks, exploring local hiking trails and working on merit badges and rank advancement. La Jolla United Methodist Church wishes to acknowledge not only the members and leaders of Troop 506, but also ALL of the other wonderful and productive scouting organizations of the community this coming Sunday. All generations of scouts, past and present, and their families are cordially invited and encouraged to attend — and don’t forget to wear your uniforms, badge sashes or any other mementos you may have of current or past scouting activities.

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
La Jolla’s Top Picks of 2009 It’s no secret that La Jolla is home to fine dining — a destination where people from all over gather to celebrate special occasions. But there are many other eateries that are favorites with the hometown crowd as well. Here are the results of our 2009 Best Restaurants Readers Choice Awards. Many are repeat winners, meaning friendly service and good value are timeless, while others are new restaurants that have sparkled from the get-go. Along with the places that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner you’ll find noted family restaurants, Sunday brunch spots and establishments with special wine and beer selections. Like to people-watch as you sip or sup? We have it covered. There are also listings for sports bars as well as cafes that cater to your best friend Fido. Ballots were printed in La Jolla Village News and also distributed online at our website, www.sdnews.com. Although our poll is not scientific, we think it presents a pretty good picture of the restaurants that give La Jolla its ster-
ling reputation. We hope these awards will delight those who aspire to excellence every day and inspire new businesses to go the extra mile — with a smile — in these tough economic times. La Jolla Village News would like to thank all the readers who took the time to single out the restaurants that give the Jewel its shine. And to the winners — we salute you!
Congratulations! Anne Terhune Editor, La Jolla Village News
The 2009 Readers Choice Award winners were selected by La Jolla Village News readers
Overall Restaurant:
Osteria Romantica
Best Chef:
Nine-Ten Nine-Ten is the place to go to stimulate your taste buds and expand your appreciation of the culinary art. Voters recognized the restaurant again and again for its service, wine selection, happy hour and even nominated its burger as one of the best in the village. Plus, its executive chef Jason Knibb took chef of the year. The restaurant is not just about fine dining by night. Nine-Ten also serves breakfast and lunch, and patrons are welcome to stop by for a casual bar-side panini. Breakfast can get gourmet fast, if you opt for the Short Rib Hash in a red wine sauce served with poached eggs and roasted onions.
Osteria Romantica has brought the charming, rustic ambiance of an Italian Osteria — a tavern of sorts where Italians traditionally gather to drink wine — to the only village square in the Shores: Avenida de la Playa. Patrons sit in wooden chairs and tuck themselves into a checked tablecloth to dig into a steaming platter of homemade pasta followed by succulent breaded veal, chicken or fish. The two Italian men who own the restaurant explain that the Osteria was traditionally a place for the rich and poor to sit closely over wine and a deck of cards. Minus the cards, Osteria Romantica is a friendly place to socialize over good food and wine.

Mustangs and Burros La Jollans looking to relax with friends on a warm, festive patio should skip the hubbub of Old Town and head to Mustangs and Burros, a California ranch bar and lounge at Estancia La Jolla Hotel on Torrey Pines Road. The rustic bar with its Spanish décor serves up a mouthwatering array of comfort food. The line-up includes duck carnitas with roasted Jalapeno and grilled onions and Mustangs Calamari with cilantro lime crème fraiche, plus micro beers on tap. Set in the ranch ambiance with its brick fireplace and red rocking chairs, you’ll soon start to feel like you’re in the backyard of a good friend. Mustangs and Burros 9700 N.

Prepkitchen Prepkitchen will make a regular out of you. This cozy, shoebox bistro offers gourmet food to take home or back to the office, as well as a patio café to lounge outside with a glass of micro brew beer and a platter of in-house cured meats and French cheeses. A spin-off of Whisknladle, the small kitchen is geared toward whipping up creative meals out of produce from local farms. People get stuck on their favorite dishes at Prepkitchen and so tend to revisit time and time again to rotate through the menu to savor more of the dishes. And, at times, it may be apt to just pop in for a side of sautéed greens in garlic oil or to relish a side of the shrimp salad. Prepkitchen 7556 Fay Ave. 875-7737 www.prepkitchen.com
Jason Knibb has traveled the world as a chef and landed at La Jolla’s Nine-Ten Restaurant and Bar in 2003. He stands by a farm-to-table culinary philosophy, using local, fresh ingredients to prepare simple, extraordinarily delicious dishes. Before Nine-Ten, Knibb had a gig as the executive chef for Robert Redford’s Sundance Village. Raised in Southern California, Knibb began his career at Wolfgang Puck at L.A.’s Eureka restaurant. His next stop was the island of Maui to help open Roy’s Kahana Bar & Grill. He headed back to Southern California to cook at Rockenwagner’s in Santa Monica and Rox restaurant in Beverly Hills. Knibb made his California mark on Warsaw, Poland to oversee the opening of Malibu. La Jollans are now recognizing this acclaimed chef for his work. 0
Bernard Guillas Marine Room If you hope to replicate chef Bernard Guillas’ masterpieces at home, check out his latest book, “Flying Pans: Two Chefs, One World,” that features recipes from around the world. Redwood Hill Goat Cheese Brulee sounds mouth-watering enough to try. Executive chef of the Marine Room, La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and La Jolla Shores Hotel, Guillas sees himself as a sorcerer who creates happiness on a plate. Originally from Brittany, France, Guillas feels happy by the ocean in La Jolla. Guillas trained at La Bretagne in Questembert, France. He worked at Maison Blanche under chef Pierre Chambrin, former White House executive chef. He also spent five years at the Grant Grill at the U.S. Grant Hotel downtown.

A flamenco guitarist performs Restaurants come and go, but Harry’s has become an institution in La Jolla since it opened 50 years ago. The oldfashioned diner has not slapped on layer upon layer of modernity to keep pace with the decade. Instead, the breakfast joint steadfastly has served up good American fare of eggs, bacon and pancakes in the morning and club sandwiches and charbroiled burgers in the afternoon, and has kept the customers coming back. Open at 6 in the morning, closed by 3 in the afternoon, Harry’s remains a familiar, friendly place near and dear to La Jollans’ hearts.

The Cottage
Local Winery:
Ponte Winery The Ponte Winery spent 25 years growing and tending its vineyards before it was ready to release its wine to the public in 2003. Now, the winery is on the move once again with the construction of its new vineyard patio, to be completed just in time for summer weddings. The winery is particularly proud of its Super T blend and smooth “Beverino” wine. After an afternoon of sampling wines, stop by the Smokehouse Restaurant for a hearty steak and live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Ponte Winery 35053 Rancho California Rd., Temecula (951) 694-8855 www.pontewinery.com 0
The Cottage is a quintessential La Jolla destination beloved by locals, tourists, young, old, regulars and newcomers alike. Set in the historic “Columbine” cottage built in the early 1900s (recently renovated to become more accessible to the handicapped), The Cottage serves up exceptional breakfast and lunch on a sun-drenched patio behind a white picket fence. Its gourmet omelets, stuffed French toast, health-crazed muffins and trademark granola are memorable and worth the weekend wait, which is sweetened by the coffee and cake samples offered to those milling on the sidewalk waiting for a table. In the summer, the restaurant stays opens for dinner. The Cottage also is available for rent for parties and receptions year-round.

The Cottage 7702 Fay Ave. 454-8409 www.cottagelajolla.com
For all the La Jolla residents not fortunate enough to live somewhere else in order to spend a night at the historic La Valencia Hotel, the three unique restaurants within the hotel extend the favor. The Mediterranean Room serves dishes from its namesake region from the recently renovated dining room or open-air patio overlooking the sweeping blue Pacific Ocean for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the evening, the mahogany Whaling Bar grills steaks in an old-world seaside atmosphere complete with harpoons, lanterns, pewter candleholders and antique wooden shutters. Then there’s the exclusive Sky Room on the tenth floor that may offer the most stunning, panoramic view of the ocean in La Jolla. A small kitchen, literally a holein-the-wall, prepares dinner for the 11 tables in the intimate dining room.
Lunch:
Girard Gourmet For the past two decades, La Jolla residents, office workers and tourists have refreshed themselves at the midday hour by indulging in the made-from-scratch sandwiches, soups and hot platters at Girard Gourmet. The line wraps around the bistro but moves swiftly since the mom-and-pop store has perfected the art of sandwich making. The sandwich begins with the homemade bread (grain or baguette). Our recommendation is the chicken curry salad with chutney or the salmon lox with cream cheese and capers. The lamb stew, lasagna and spinach and cheese quiche are also delicious. The small store is a feast for the eyes with its array of specially designed cookies and Belgian-style cakes. Girard Gourmet 7837 Girard Ave. 454-3321 www.girardgourmet.com 0
Too tired to trek to Temecula for a tipsy day spent in the tranquility of a vineyard? Orfila winery is only 30 minutes north of La Jolla in the state’s smallest American Viticulture Area. The 70-acre vineyard grows Rhone-style wines and has already garnered 1,300 medals for its wine since opening in 1994. Orfila Winery should also not be overlooked when entertaining guests, hosting parties and corporate events and for weddings. Orfila Vineyards & Winery 13455 San Pasqual Rd., Escondido www.orfila.com

Family Restaurant:
Whisknladle
Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza
Whisknladle has created a buzz among foodies in San Diego for its dedication to selecting top-notch ingredients from local farms and then working diligently to create its own delectable dishes. The cooks passionately tend to every detail and the result is homemade breads, inhouse cured meats, complex sauces and ice cream churned by the cooks. Whisknladle is ratcheting up the culinary bar across the city. It’s about time! For lunch, patrons are invited to dine on specialty dishes like duck confit salad or a platter of crispy sweetbreads. Whisknladle is not for the undiscerning eater looking to wolf down a sandwich and rush back to the office. Time is taken to prepare each component of the meal at hand, and complete attention, even if brief, is required to appreciate the subtleties of the fare.
Families with discerning taste should count on Sammy’s pizza for their family night out. Patrons clearly support Sammy’s mission to mix flavor with freshness in its pizza since Sammy’s now operates 18 stores in the San Diego area and Nevada. Forget cheese and pepperoni of old–Sammy’s redefines the genre with pies such as artichoke and homemade sauce, five cheeses or a salad pizza comprising of organic arugula, pear and prosciutto. Sammy’s offers a more simplified menu for the kids. The Ladeki Restaurant Group also owns Roppongi Restaurant and Sushi Bar on Prospect Street, another beloved eatery in the village.

Pasquale on Prospect Pasquale’s isn’t exactly an underground club, but it sometimes feels like it with the number of Hollywood stars that show up for dinner at this Italian bistro seemingly hidden down a staircase off Prospect Street. Patrons are chummy enough with each other to give the impression they come here often. NBA player Dennis Rodman captures its ambiance poignantly: “I wish my crib was like your hang,” he told the owners. The Rome-raised chef Enzo Mauri must have something to do with the restau-
on Thursday and Friday nights, and a rock-and-roll band takes the stage on Saturday nights from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. Pasquale on Prospect 1250 Prospect St., B10 456-7227 www.s156022313.onlinehome.us
Restaurant Wine Selection
Burgundy Grill & Wine The next best place to sample wines from the Burgundy region of France — apart from flying across the world — is to head
to Burgundy Grill & Wine. This quaint cottage restaurant has selected five reds and five whites for sampling. Patrons can also set themselves the happy goal of sampling all of the five flights: Red Burgundy Flight, White Burgundy Flight, California Flight, International Flight and Karl Strauss Beer Flight. Happy hour runs from 3 to 7 p.m. The menu features seasonal and organic foods, and plenty of the French cuisine that has made the country so deliciously famous.

Karl Strauss Brewery & Restaurant San Diego’s very own microbrewery, Karl Strauss brews and bottles its beer in a converted greenhouse just east of Pacific Beach. La Jollans concerned with becoming oenophiles should not miss out on the freshness and flavor Karl Strauss has to offer. Two college graduates mixed their passion for handcrafted, old-world beer with technical finesse to build a strong reputation. Karl Strauss now brews 30 beers each year with seasonal offerings, and sends it to 2,500

The La Jolla Brewhouse is a favorite hangout in the village with its dozens of flat-screen TVs, delicious American food, tall wooden tables and pool table in the back.

La Jolla Brewhouse 7536 Fay Ave. 456-6279 www.lajollabrewhouse.com
Wine Shop:
BevMo It’s not difficult to understand why this warehouse of alcohol has grown popular: It sells every brand and region of alcohol desired. There are thousands of bottles of wine, beer and spirits on these shelves. “What to choose?” is the only problem. Browsing the company website may help out the wandering shopper. Rating agencies give their top picks for the beer, wine and spirits. Kegs are also sold for parties. BevMo 844 Pearl St. 729-0775 www.bevmo.com
Sports Bar:
The Spot Restaurant and Tavern This eatery opened its doors in 1978 in the oldest La Jolla building in continuous use as a restaurant. It’s become a favorite for its fresh fish, steaks, burgers, salads, pasta, sandwiches and Chicago-style pizza — in other words, it offers just about anything a late-night diner could want. There’s a full-service bar and a large selection of fine wines, too. The warm fire burning in the middle of the
room seals the cozy ambiance of this late-night spot. The Spot Restaurant and Tavern 1005 Prospect St. 459-0800 www.thespotonline.com 0

Place to People Watch:
George’s at the Cove George’s at the Cove has been in La Jolla since 1984, but there’s not a solitary sign that it seeks to rest on its laurels. The exceptional dining experiences are no accident — this restaurant has a whopping three on-site restaurants dedicated to providing guests with the best food and service possible. Guests can either opt for California modern or a more casual, bistro dining experience at George’s Bar, complete with an outdoor patio. For a spectacular view of the ocean, head upstairs to the ocean terrace. George’s at the Cove 1250 Prospect St. 454-4244 www.georgesatthecove.com 0
Living Room Cafe The Living Room has truly lived up to its name in La Jolla. The café has drawn young and old alike to sip tea, coffee and deluxe smoothies in a homey ambiance furnished with antique, ornate coaches and wooden tables. Patrons find the communal atmosphere inspiring and relaxing; you’ll find groups of friends smoking the hookah on the patio and others pouring over books in the back. At the far end of the café is a quaint view overlooking rooftops and glimpses of the ocean. Scrumptious desserts are available, along with wine, beer and hookah tobacco. Living Room Cafe 1010 Prospect St. 459-1187 www.livingroomcafe.com
Pet Friendly:
Come On In What started as a La Jolla bakery has turned into a pet-friendly gourmet restaurant sensation spreading through-
out San Diego’s north coast. The current owners kept the flavorful selection of pastries and desserts and added fresh, Euro-California cuisine, having converted Come On In Café, established in 1993, to a Euro-bistro in 1999. Come On In maintained its focus by providing fresh, delicious food that won’t ruin your diet, though you’d hardly know it by the taste.

Bull and Bear Bar & Grill All agree this has been a Bear year for the market, and this bar is just the right place to drown financial woes in a draft beer and some steak medallions. (For those of you not familiar with the lingo, a Bear market refers to a decline in the stock market and a Bull market shows investor confidence.) The grill serves up a mix of American, Italian and Mexican dishes served indoors or on the patio. So whether you’re feeling bearish or bullish, this is a welcome place to relax. Bull and Bear Grill 1271 Prospect St. 551-0077 www.bullandbearbarandgrill.com
Restaurant with Live Music:
Beaumont's Eatery Beaumont’s has become the focal point — the only point — for nightlife in Bird Rock. Live bands play on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and neighbors like to throw back drinks and get a little rowdy (think Bird Rock rowdy, not PB!). The food is exceptional and unique, and offers a range of entrées, from a juicy burger to Spanish seafood paella and French country-style meatloaf. The chef focuses on local produce and is concerned with the flavor of ingredients.

Wahoo’s has become a La Jolla tradition for young and old. Ask any kid who grew up in La Jolla — they remember hanging out after school at Wahoo’s. Walls, tables, windows and even bathrooms are laden with signed memorabilia and stickers, like a giant skateboard. Starters include tasty Maui onion rings and spicy chicken tortilla soup, but it’s the fish tacos that draw the crowds. Kids continue to love the place because of the free stickers!

Jeff's Burgers After a morning of surfing and a mouth tasting of salt water, Jeff’s Burgers is an ideal place to refuel with a burger and a soda. A burger with cheese, avocado and bacon will definitely do the trick. And the thick milkshakes are delicious. Hearty, salty foods always taste delicious at the beach. Forget the cooler, Jeff’s Burgers is the place to go. Jeff's Burgers 2152 Avenida De La Playa 454-8038

The Marine Room When The Marine Room opened at its current location, Franklin Roosevelt had just been elected to his third term as president. That pretty much makes The Marine Room the oldest San Diego restaurant still owned and operated by its founders in its original location. Executive chef Bernard Guillas uses all that history to his best advantage — he’s got a lot to draw from as he travels the world in search of the finest cuisine for The Marine Room’s legion of customers.

Crab Catcher Perched atop an oceanside La Jolla bluff, the Crab Catcher offers a spectacular view. The elevated dining room overlooks waves crashing onto La Jolla Cove and an elegant coastal backdrop. Chef Jon Burwell’s extensive menu fetes the ocean’s bounty with dishes such as king crab-stuffed Hawaiian ono with chili-garlic puree and dill-infused buerre blanc, montrachet goat cheese and roasted shallot Pinot Noir reduction. It’s not for nothing that the Crab Catcher is celebrating its 30th year of success.

La Jolla Rancherita This rancherita is festive, and even more so after a few margaritas and a hearty platter of Mexican food. The adobe walls are painted burnt orange, and murals of the traditional working life in Mexico adorn the walls. This Mexican restaurant is an ideal place for people eating alone (the bar is cozy and the staff friendly) or for a spontaneously large group that needs to pull tables together. Patrons rave about the House Special Cheese Crisp — a sort of Mexican pizza with a tortilla crust. La Jolla Rancherita 7404 La Jolla Blvd. 459-5877 0
Mr. Taco Mexican Food Here’s where you’ll find the quality of a better restaurant and the quantity that seems to mark the better fast-food eateries. Everybody says to try the cheese enchilada.

Burger Lounge In many ways, Burger Lounge is the antithesis of a fast-food joint. It is about a passion to create something great. Starting with all-natural grass-fed Tallgrass beef delivered directly from the rancher, hand-cut french fries, fresh-made onion rings and home-baked buns, Burger Lounge has created a food experience it hopes you will want to have again and again. Burger Lounge also serves cool, crisp salads, a turkey burger with fresh basil and its own vegetarian burger made from organic quinoa. Burger Lounge 1101 Wall St. 456-0196 0

Each cupcake flavor is the unique handiwork of a pastry chef and worthy of critique — far and above the shot-of-sugar cupcakes sold in supermarkets. The chefs blend a fantastic array of organic ingredients. For example, the pumpkin cardamom spiced cupcake is topped with cardamom-spiced chocolate frosting and pepita brittle. The lounge also serves organic milk on-tap to accompany the richness of the cup-

If steak isn’t in the plan, pork and veal chops and succulent seafood will satisfy the most discriminating of palates. And at Donovan’s, fresh seasonal vegetables and your choice of potato are always included with each entrée. Donovan’s of La Jolla 4340 La Jolla Village Dr. 450-6666 www.donovanssteakhouse.com 0
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar Fleming’s has perfected the art of preparing a steak: corn-fed, aged up to four weeks for flavor and texture, broiled at 1600 degrees to seal in all the juices and flavor, and seasoned with salt and black pepper with a touch of butter and parsley. The steakhouse didn’t stop there: It also became an expert in wine pairings to help you echo the flavors and textures in your meal or juxtapose them. Fleming’s is an experience to savor.

El Pescador Every La Jollan should know about El Pescador, one of those places that will make your life happier and easier. El Pescador sells only the highest quality fresh fish for ambitious home cooks to broil, steam or slice into sushi. For fish connoisseurs who want to enjoy fresh fish in a hurry, El Pescador serves a variety of char-grilled fish and seafood sandwiches, as well as homemade chowders. Lunch or dinner doesn’t get better than a local sea bass in olive oil and garlic served on freshly baked roll with lettuce, tomato, greens and onions and avocado, if desired. Interestingly, a 19-year-old surfer first launched El Pescador with a refrigerator, display case and plenty of ambition in Del Mar in 1974.

Zenbu Sushi Bar & Restaurant
Asian/Fusion
In an era of disappearing fish, Zenbu attempts to take a sustainable approach to offering the bounty of the sea. Founder/owner Matt Rimel developed his own seafood company to exert better control over his product. Zenbu also serves locally raised grass-fed beef. Zenbu means “all” in Japanese so whether the word refers to a complete culinary experience or that all are welcome, both are certainly true no matter the definition. Each platter of sushi is artistically presented in a très chic lounge almost as alluring as the sushi.

Better yet, the coffee shop is located right next to the treasure trove that is D.G. Wills Books.

SPORTSbriefs La Jolla girls water polo goes 4-1 at tourney The La Jolla High School girls water polo team came out strong for their first tournament of the season, finishing 4-1 at the recent America’s Finest City tournament in Coronado. All five games at the AFC were against Orange County teams, and La Jolla (8-2) didn’t disappoint its fans when losing to number two El Toro High School by only three goals. Senior Kate Woods (46 goals so far this season) led the team against Riverside Arlington for fifth place at the AFC along with senior Bridgette Souza, who has scored 29 goals this season, and senior Kelsey Ryan, who has been incredible in the goalie position. La Jolla was to meet The Bishop’s School on Jan. 26 in a big Western League match-up. “This will be our chance to see what we need to do in order to be seeded well in the CIF,” La Jolla High head coach Dante Laghetto said. “We are a very united group that are finding our own unique way to get to the top.”
LJCD boys soccer drops 1-0 decision Despite a great effort, the La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School boys soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to San Dieguito last week. LJCD failed to convert several scoring opportunities, including two penalty kicks. Hunter Khaleghi, Michael Bailey, Max Ferre and Danny Rogers had especially strong games, according to LJCD head coach Jerry Fleischhacker. Noah Wolfenzon also played very well in his first varsity start.

LOVE IN ACTION
THURSDAY · JANUARY 28, 2010 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS
For the 28th year running, San Diego will host the action sports industry’s leading trade show Feb. 3-4 at the San Diego Convention Center, drawing approximately 18,000 business professionals from 60 countries to the downtown area. Action Sports Retailer (ASR) takes place bi-annually, showcasing upcoming apparel and product trends for skateboarding, surfing and the snowboarding market. This year, ASR Access will combine three unique environments: the main ASR trade floor; Class@ASR, a higher fashion, boutique show; and Crossroads, a more relaxed, core skateboard event held in the Petco Park parking lot. In previous years, the main floor’s mini-ramp demonstrations have been skated by pro-boarders from Steve Caballero to Shaun White and Tony Hawk. With the addition of “best street” and “best trick” demonstrations at Crossroads in February, organizers anticipate the highest level of skating yet. (ASR events are not open to the public.) As the epicenter of action sports,
Southern California attracts retailers from across the country and around the world. Seeking an authentic connection to the industry’s roots, they generate an estimated $30 million in local revenues per year. ASR’s vice president Andy Tomkins calls the convention the “flagship” of action sports industry trade shows. Having expanded beyond specialty shops in the mid-’90s to department stores and sporting good chains, the industry has come to represent a culture rather than just an activity. “It’s a unique opportunity to see what’s happening in the marketplace,” Tompkins said. “When you touch down at the airport, you immediately feel the surf/skate culture.” Despite the recession, major players are reporting positive sales. With 500 vendors exhibiting and 5,500 retailers expected, attendance is on par with last January’s show. However, this year’s lagging economy has squeezed out many smaller start-ups. Tompkins considers San Diego ASR’s “perfect” host city for its balance of urban and beach communities, which embodies the lifestyle.

BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS While their older counterparts continue to improve on the mats, the La Jolla Junior High wrestling team is also making a name for itself this season. The younger Vikings under the direction of coach Joe Sauriol have some 30 wrestlers on the roster, and have already competed in five San Diego Imperial Kids Wrestling Association (SDIKWA) Tournaments. According to one of the coaches, Everett Roach, the kids are rapidly gaining experience, improving and getting tougher each week along with bringing home some medals. Some of the regular wrestlers are Carson Sauriol, Everett Roach, Aaron
Creswell, Eric Johnson, George and Arthur Champion, Tristan Macelli, Aaron and Casey Granfors, Gabriel Sanders, Trevor Scully and Luka Stojic. “Our goal is to bring the culture of wrestling to La Jolla,” Coach Joe Sauriol said. “We want to start the kids early and have them feed right into the high school program to help make La Jolla High a force in the San Diego wrestling community. We are grateful for the coaches and kids at La Jolla High School for helping make the junior Vikes program a success. “Wrestling is a tough but fair sport. It’s a terrific character builder for our young boys and girls.” For more information, visit www.causaw.org/assn/sdikwa.html.

Celebrating the New Old Globe Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas Who cares about theater in this town? Well, our area’s theater scene doesn’t exactly eclipse that of Manhattan, although plays developed in San Diego’s best theaters often become big Broadway hits in New York City. And the truth is, there’s a lot of vibrant interest in theater here, as recent trips to The Patte Awards
and the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Awards clearly demonstrated. But certain people have demonstrated a truly “dramatic” level of interest by their willingness to support San Diego playhouses at exceptional levels of financial generosity. Many of those big Broadway hits were developed at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre. To keep them coming — as well as to secure the theater’s growth and viability, and to commemorate the Globe’s 75th Anniversary this June — a $75 million Capital and Endowment Campaign (begun in 2004) has now reached fruition. Of that amount, $22 million went for the construction of the just-completed Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. The Center comprises the landmark Old Globe Theatre and the newly-constructed Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre (which replaces the Cassius Carter Centre Stage), the Karen and Donald Cohn Education Center, Hat-

READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS
tox Hall, the Viterbi Family Lobby, Lady Carolyn’s Pub, and the Donald and Darlene Shiley Terrace. Making this all possible were multi-million dollar gifts by Donald and Darlene Shiley, Conrad Prebys, Sheryl and Harvey White, Karen and Donald Cohn, Kathryn Hattox, the Viterbi Family Foundation and Carolyn YorstonWellcome, plus myriad other very generous donations. The Center’s black-tie gala opening, named “Some Enchanted Evening,” was held in early December, on the stormiest night of 2009. The weather deterred few (if any) but delayed many — including Jo Ann Kilty, who arrived halfway through the opening reception in a show-stopping Naheem Kahn red gown, distracting enough to overshadow her lateness. Renee Schatz arrived wearing new customdesigned gold earrings, from which hung two glittering diamonds — but both stones disappeared before evening’s end, victims of insecure attachments. (Fortunately, one was found later and eventually returned; the other is still missing…) After cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, guests enjoyed the first performance in the new White Theatre. Performed by soprano Kelli O’Hara and baritone Paulo Szot (a superbly talented married couple, and either totally in love with each other or just very good actors), the musical program consisted of romantic solos and duets. The full-house audience seemed rife with enamored hand-holding couples having a great time enjoying the familiar songs so beautifully performed in this intimate new 250-seat arena-style theater. An elegant dinner was next, served in Hattox Hall. It started with spicy crab and ahi roll and white asparagus soup, followed by a dual entrée of filet mignon and crusted sea bass. A triple chocolate mousse made an enchanted ending to the evening, and guests were relieved to find that the rain had finally given up, making the drive home significantly more relaxing.
