SDPD Northern Division welcomes new captain BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS Over the course of his 23 years with the San Diego Police Department, Capt. Al Guaderrama has had more than a few chances to become what he describes as “well-rounded.” He gained experience in both the central and mid-city divisions, beating the streets in a wide range of areas from Barrio Logan to the College Area, worked hard on recruitment during a time of record attrition within the SDPD, and became a captain at the Southern Division 18 months ago. Now at the helm of the Northern Division as of Jan. 8, Guaderrama describes the difference between his new post and his most recent one at Southern Division as that of “night and day.” In line with a citywide policy of community-oriented policing, he emphasizes the value of community input as a way to prioritize the department’s objectives. “I want to focus on the quality of life in the area,” he said. “We want to establish a few goals, and everyone in the community should be involved in establish-
ing those. Everyone should know what they are.” Community-oriented policing, Guaderrama says, sets the SDPD apart from other cities. He plans to implement the policy in his position at Northern Division by providing resources and information to the community that will help stem crime, and by developing a system of communication with residents to confront their most pressing concerns. “It really should be a joint partnership between the police department and community members,” he said. One way the department attempts to address the community’s needs is through the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP). Consisting of a corps of volunteer retirees from all walks of life, the patrol offers services designed to address citizens’ concerns without tying up valuable and limited police resources. The volunteers can, for example, check in on elderly residents on a regular basis or keep an eye on the house of a resident who’s on vacation. Volunteers go through two weeks of
training for the program, and a new class started Jan. 24. In addition to his varied experience within the department, Guaderrama also recently completed the FBI National Academy training in Washington D.C. An 11-week program, the academy brings together law enforcement worldwide for what Guaderrama calls “cutting-edge” training. He said the most valuable aspect was the chance to network and gain insight into a wide range of policing strategies, while living in close quarters. Guaderrama resided in a small dorm with a roommate, sharing a bathroom with three other men. “I was glad to be home, that’s for sure,” he said with a smile. Capt.

Long-time La Jollan to be memorialized on Feb. 20 Darlene R. Russell: Oct. 31, 1934 — Jan. 2, 2011 Darlene Denton was born in Tucson, Ariz. to James and Ruth Denton on Oct. 31, 1934. In 1947, she and her family moved to California. She attended La Jolla High School, where she met Donald Russell, and they became high school sweethearts. She went to the University of Arizona and, after graduating, she and Don were wed in August of 1957. The Denton family quickly became key figures in the Pacific Beach real estate scene. When Darlene’s father, James, passed away, it was up to Dar and Don to run the family business. In her spare time, she learned needlework and won several awards while also working and teaching others at a needlepoint shop in La Jolla. She supported the arts with Don, and the two were frequent visitors of the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art, the UCSD theatre and the Old Globe. She was an avid Padres fan for more than 40 years, and enjoyed going to the games. She played tennis, loved working out every day and enjoyed the company of her dogs and her long-time beach friends. A long-time resident of La Jolla, Darlene liked to serve her community. In 1991, she became a val-

NEWS Study could aid conservation practices in Mexico Finding could require curtailed fishing BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS Researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have completed a new study that could have farranging implications for the sustainable future of marine wildlife in Northwest Mexico.

The scientists, led by Scripps post-

doctoral researcher Brad Erisman, detected patterns between the geography of the species and their habitats in the region, accounts for more than 60 percent of fishing production in Mexico. In doing so, the researchers were able to create five clearly-defined subregions, differentiating between: areas rich in mangroves versus rocky shores, reefs versus soft-sea bottoms and temperate versus tropical regions. While fisheries in Northwest Mexico are currently managed as one homogeneous area, researchers said these sub-regions could be crucial for implementing specific, customized fishing and conservation practices,
including so-called “ecosystem-based management” approaches. “This gives us a framework to operate both fisheries management and conservation priorities within the same region and on the same spatial scale, thus meeting criteria for maintaining healthy ecosystems and also for maintaining economic livelihoods and productive fisheries,” Erisman said in a recent statement. For the idea to be effective, however, the researchers said large-scale industrial fishing activities in Northwest Mexico would have to be curtailed. In addition, they said customized sub-regions could help other areas of the world that are threatened by shrinking fisheries resources.

But she won’t say anything more about health-related issues. “I don’t like to talk about my ailments,” she said. “You give power to what ails you; I don’t want to do that.” It seems Simon has not given an ounce of power to any ailment. She tidies her apartment by herself and gets around easily, hustling down the halls of her building at a quick clip. Inn fact,

Batteries and Light Bulbs: Universal or Hazardous Waste? You Choose!
W
hat do you do when batteries die and light bulbs burn out? And after that, what do you do with your brand-new electronic waste?
In California, discarded batteries and electric lamps (light bulbs and tubes) are regulated as universal wastes, which must be recycled— or be managed as hazardous waste, and legally disposed of as such. Wouldn’t you rather recycle? Here are the details, according to the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC): Universal waste batteries include rechargeable nickelcadmium batteries, silver button batteries, mercury batteries, small sealed lead-acid batteries (burglar alarm and emergency light batteries), most alkaline batteries, carbon-zinc batteries, and any other batteries that exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous waste.* Note: Spent, automotive-type lead-acid storage batteries are not universal waste. They are hazardous waste, and managed under different regulatory requirements. Universal waste lamps include fluorescent tubes and bulbs, high-intensity discharge lamps, sodium vapor lamps, and any other type of lamps that exhibit a characteristic of a hazardous waste.* Also, any electric lamp that contains added mercury, whether or not it exhibits a hazardous waste characteristic, is a universal waste.* *Hazardous waste can be poisonous, flammable, explosive, and/or corrosive. Recycle San Diego recycles unwanted electronics in accordance with state and federal laws, and we’re proud of our commitment to ensuring that the materials we collect will never enter a landfill. We accept all rechargeable batteries for free, and single-use batteries for $1 per pound. And we accept not only lamps (bulbs and tubes), but also light fixtures (without lamps) for a small fee. Recycle San Diego can collect e-waste at your location and recycle it—for free. (The recycler dismantles the devices, separates the different components, and ships them to various U.S. end recyclers for further processing.) Need to recycle TVs, computers, or monitors? No hassles, no worries, no problems!
Need a local solution? Think Recycle San Diego! We host household e-waste collection events every weekend and offer on-site business pick-ups during the week. Jeffrey Harding is the President and Founder of Recycle San Diego. Founded in 2006, Recycle San Diego is the largest e-waste collection company in San Diego.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A call for future leaders BY FRIEDA L. LEVINSKY We are announcing a search for a potential military academy candidate. The requirements for this person, male or female, are as follows: the candidate must be a high school student with top grades in all high school subjects; He or she must have read 15 books annually in addition to school requirements, with a six-page report on each book, highlighting the book’s most important points. The student must have done at least a year of volunteer work, such as tutoring students in elementary education; He or she must exhibit integrity and ethical behavior, as well as an understanding of the commitment and the benefits of being accepted to the military academy. Other credits, as well as a photo, may be helpful. The purpose of grooming the candidate to learn about military history, via works of Carl von Clausewitz or other historians, is also very important in the potential selection. We wish to groom such a candidate to be a leader, with the effort to find a candidate who may become helpful to our country, which will regain its position of respect among nations. To be clear, I am not guaranteeing acceptance. The intention is simply to allow potential legislators to consider an acceptance as candidate for the military academy. Which military academy the applicant wishes for consideration is the individual’s own choice. Please send written material only to the following address: CIS Investments, Inc., 2333 Camino Del Rio South, Suite 160, San Diego, 92108, care of Frieda L. Levinsky. No communication other than the above information should be sent to this address. Editor’s note: In an interview with Frieda L. Levinsky, the former teacher said her goal is to give deserving military academy applicants a better chance of being accepted. “There are so many students who want to be accepted,” said Levinsky, who resides in La Jolla. “I want to help both my legislators and potential candidates with the process.” According to the White House website, each year there are several thousand applicants per academy seeking nominations from the U.S. vice president, and the number is even higher for those seeking nominations from local congressmen. Even if nominated, the academies are selective. West Point, for example, only admitted about 12 percent of applicants to its class of 2012. Levinsky wants to take time to scour over applications, and upon finding candidates she thinks will have a good chance, she plans to contact her local political leaders. With more than three years of research in former U.S. military leaders, Levinsky said she believes she is qualified to help with the process. She said she has had three plaques mounted at Mount Soledad: Sir Winston Churchill, President Harry S. Truman and John Lee Levertow. “Whether Democrat or Republican, we’ve had some good leaders,” said Levinsky. “Now we need leaders who understand even the most complex matters. The question is how and who.” Above all, she added: “It’s of my interest to see that our country is respected.”
The root problem: unintended pregnancy In his recent letter to the La Jolla Village News, “Remembering Roe v. Wade” (Jan. 20), Steve Casey from Louisiana asserts his strong belief that a woman should not have the right to choose abortion. One of the many things that makes America great is our freedom to express our views in public forums like the press. Passions run high on both sides of this issue. Many of us remember a time when abortion was illegal — and was also the leading cause of emergency admission to obstetrics and gynecology wards at local hospitals. Women have “always” made their own decisions on whether to bear a child. Before Roe, their choice was often self-inflicted and often resulting in death. As vehemently as most Americans believe abortion should remain a safe, legal option for women facing an unintended pregnancy, there are others who feel it should not. On this anniversary of Roe v. Wade, let’s not try to change each other’s firmly held beliefs on this issue, as it is an exercise in futility. Instead, let us focus our energy on issues where we can agree. Together, we can reduce the need for abortion by solving the root problem, unintended pregnancy. The abortion rate is at its lowest rate since 1974. This is because reproductive health-care providers are able to offer a wider and more effective range of contraceptives than ever before. The rate of unintended pregnancy also decreases when there is broad access to comprehensive sexuality education. We can also agree that we should encourage young people to learn about the risks associated with sexual activity. Research consistently shows that comprehensive sex education reduces the risk of unintended pregnancy, and as a result, abortion. Age-appropriate sex education that includes both abstinence
and contraception should be offered at every school. Nothing positive is accomplished when we point fingers and labels at each other. Although I disagree with Mr. Casey’s position on abortion, I respect his right to express his views. My hope is that we can find common ground and work together to reduce the need for abortion by decreasing the rate of unintended pregnancy. Lynn Bruser La Jolla
A case for sex education In regard to “Remembering Roe v. Wade” (Jan. 20): and “Government financing moral decay of our nation” (Jan. 13): Steve Casey, the author of both letters, is an evangelical Methodist chaplain for Evergreen Presbyterian Ministries in Stonewall, a small white fundamentalist enclave in northwestern Louisiana, population 1,904. Both letters published in the LJVN were previously published unchanged in several right-wing newspapers and websites. In his diatribe on Roe v. Wade, Mr. Casey opposes any role for abortion, even in the case of rape or incest or to save the life of the woman. He is an outlier in the whole anti-abortion movement. His views mirror the thinking of those who attack Planned Parenthood clinics and murder doctors who provide legal abortions. They hide behind the U.S. Constitution while blocking access to legal abortions. During the founding of our nation, abortion was legal. Not until the 1840s, when the evangelical movement circuit riders and revival camp meetings emerged, was anti-abortion legislation passed. The first law making abortion a crime was passed in 1845 in Massachusetts. Pregnancy places a woman at risk for illness and death. About 20 percent of confirmed pregnancies result in a spontaneous abortion. In 1975-1977 there were 1.7 deaths per 100,000 sponta-
neous abortions. In 1972, the year before Roe v. Wade, there were about 30 deaths per 100,000 illegal and selfinduced abortions. After legalization of abortion, in 1987 there were only 0.4 deaths per 100,000 legal abortions. This is much better than the overall pregnancy-related mortality of 11.8 deaths per 100,000 live births (years 1991-1999). Therefore, it is safer for a woman to have a legal abortion than to have an unwanted pregnancy go to term. The most important effect of the legalization of abortion was the near-elimination of deaths from illegal abortions. In his other letter, Mr. Casey offers no solution for unwed motherhood other than to attribute it to a lack of morals. However, there is a strong positive correlation between a state’s religiosity and both its teen birth rate and teen pregnancy rate, despite a negative correlation between teen abortion rate and religiosity. Therefore, the more religious a state’s population, the higher it’s teen pregnancy rate. This is attributed to evangelicals’ opposition to sex education in schools and their funding of abstinence-only programs. Casey accuses Johnson’s war on poverty with causing an increase in unwed motherhood. Some have said this program contributed to the destruction of African-American families. However, this program reduced the percentage of African-American families below the poverty line from 55 percent in 1960 to 27 percent in 1968. The solution is education.

GUEST COMMENTARY
An anecdote to commemorate Reagan’s 100th birthday By Dr. Paul Kengor Feb. 6 will mark the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth. In a telling development, Republicans around the country have begun holding Reagan Day dinners, as they’ve long traditionally done every February for Abraham Lincoln. Having written so much on the man, I get lots of questions about Reagan this time of year, running the gamut from his domestic achievements to his historic foreign-policy triumph: peacefully ending the Cold War. Sometimes I get asked for unreported anecdotes reflecting on his personality and character. I have a bunch of those, which have been eagerly shared with me by people who have met Reagan (he talked to anyone) or that have been dug up from the thousands of letters Reagan wrote to everyday Americans over his long lifetime. Reagan was just plain likable. Central to that likability was Reagan’s humility. The word “I” didn’t dominate his con-

versation, unless he was poking fun at himself. He was no narcissist. Ronald Reagan was not full of pride; he was thoroughly unpossessed of self-love. And so, I’d like to take the opportunity presented by Reagan’s time of year — not to mention the month of Presidents’ Day — to share an anecdote that was told to me by Bill Clark, Reagan’s close friend and most significant adviser. At the time this happened, Clark was serving as Reagan’s national-security adviser. His driver was a man named Joe Bullock, a Georgia native who had moved to Washington during the Great Depression. Bullock was a victim of the cruel Jim Crow laws that afflicted the South. He went to Washington for a better life. Bullock first found employment as a mule driver. He eventually began chauffeuring various seniors in the federal government, some of whom didn’t treat him well. In fact, Bullock said a previous Carter cabinet secretary didn’t speak a word to him in three years.
had one in mind, made by a Santa Barbara friend of both Clark and the president. (Reagan, too, was a California rancher.) “Well, what does it look like?” asked Reagan. Clark noted he had a model in the car: Bullock, who was wearing the belt. “Send him up,” ordered the president. Joe had worked for the federal government for half a century, but had never been within 50 yards of the Oval Office. He walked in. He saw Clark, Vice President Bush, the senior aides and the president. He was in awe. Suddenly, this tough six-foot-four-inch man began weeping: He had come so far since Jim Crow and the Great Depression. He was choked up. No one in the room was prepared for that reaction. They were dead silent, uncomfortable, unable to respond — except for Reagan. The president rose, walked over to the driver, extended his hand, breathed in and said matter-offactly, “Mr. Bullock, I understand you

Thus, Bullock was taken aback when Clark not only talked to him, asking questions about his life and family, but also asked whether he could sit up front. Clark rode shotgun with Bullock, drawing more than a few stares and safety concerns as well, since Clark, given his influence in national security, was a target of America’s enemies. One morning, Clark’s father visited Washington. He hit it off with Bullock. Clark’s father was a rancher, a man of the West. He gave Bullock a gift: a Western-style belt, with a kind of “John Wayne belt buckle,” as Clark described it. Bullock loved it, proudly displaying it by always leaving his blue suit-jacket unbuttoned. That belt soon assumed a life of its own. A state visit by England’s Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip was upcoming, and protocol demanded that the White House provide gifts. Clark, Reagan and a few others brainstormed following a morning briefing. For Philip, Clark suggested a “Western belt.” He

have a belt to show me?” It was an “every man” touch. And it put old Bullock immediately at ease. He showed the belt, and then he and Reagan began swapping stories, chatting away like old friends. No, this anecdote is nothing dramatic. It’s not like challenging Gorbachev to tear down the wall. It’s simply another of many small stories I hear constantly about Reagan, a good president and a good man. The White House needs more of them. That’s a thought worth bearing in mind this February. — Dr. Paul Kengor is a professor of political science at Grove City College in Pennsylvania and the executive director of The Center for Vision & Values there.

Hench sentenced; Baby-scratching crime labeled ‘predatory in nature’ by judge BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS Anxiety and a vague psychiatric disorder was the explanation offered for the bizarre conduct by a former La Jolla real estate agent who scratched and tore off the skin of eight babies she offered to hold for their mothers at social events. A psychological evaluation of Lisa Marie Hench, 45, was ordered sealed by San Diego Superior Court Judge Michael Smyth, who tried to make sense of the crime at her Jan. 25 sentencing. Hench will surrender on March 18 to begin her two-year term at the Las Colinas Women’s Detention Facility, and she remains free on $75,000 bond in Del Mar. Smyth said if Hench gets a job, she could be eligible for serving her sentence in a work-furlough facility. Her attorney, Steve Feldman, told Smyth “she was run out of town” and “moved her children from one school to another” following stories of the bizarre case. “She’s been filleted. She’s had her career destroyed,” Feldman said. “She’s in therapy taking psychiatric medications. She’s remorseful. She’s been punished.” Feldman unsuccessfully sought no jail time and asked the judge for community service. Hench pleaded guilty Dec. 2 to eight misdemeanor counts of inflicting corporal injury to a child and received the maximum sentence. “It does seem predatory in
nature. It appears to me she did seek out infants or children to cause pain to them,” Smyth said. “It’s possible she’s just evil, but I doubt that’s the case.” The judge said the crimes spanned several months at different locations. “I accept there is a mental health basis,” said Smyth. “I do believe they were planned because of the requests to hold babies.” The injuries were all minor, but they included scratched ears that bled, skin torn off toes and at least one baby was punched or pinched five times in the torso, the judge said. Smyth said Hench would apparently injure babies in response to personal anxiety. Smyth also imposed four years probation, a $714 fine and ordered Hench to continue psychiatric treatment. Hench is barred from having any contact with children except her own. The parents of two victims told the judge Hench offered to hold their babies at a school event and the infants began crying and wailing shortly afterwards. It was at that event that Hench’s conduct was uncovered because two babies who were both held by Hench suffered injuries. In court, Hench said she was “truly, truly sorry this happened.” “I’ve been in therapy since the incident happened,” Hench said. “I wouldn’t want somebody to do that to my children.”

Coastkeeper’s former chief cites successes, work ahead BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS San Diego Coastkeeper continues to hunt for new leadership to fill the shoes of its exited executive director and longtime shepherd, Bruce Reznik. As it does, the environmental group is keeping its focus on important beach- and water-related issues central to its namesake. Reznik stepped down in November after an 11-year run because, he said, he couldn’t muster the energy to “fight the battles” any longer, especially in the economic downturn of the last few years. “I needed to step back,” said Reznik. “And recharge the batteries so I could move forward.” The following are some prominent issues on Coastkeeper’s agenda, which Reznik mentioned in an interview prior to

Hicks leads UC to victory over Vikings BY ROB STONE | VILLAGE NEWS The University City High School (UCHS) boys basketball team defeated the La Jolla Vikings 53-37 in a Western League game at La Jolla High on Jan. 28. Behind the performances of 6-foot4-inch junior forwards Amir Hicks and Tim Patrick, and 5-foot-9-inch junior guard Stephen Rivera, UC jumped to a quick 7-4 lead and opened it up to 1510 early in the second quarter. By halftime, the Centurions were enjoying a 21-13 cushion. Led by the play of 6-foot-5-inch senior forward Nick Reynolds, the Vikings outscored UC 18-6 to take a 31-27 advantage at the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Patrick raced in for three dunks and Hicks hit four of six free throws from the charity stripe as the Centurions outscored La Jolla 26-6 down the stretch to pull away for the victory. “When Tim (Patrick) dunks the ball the way he’s capable of doing, it gives the rest of our team the energy to pull through,” said Rivera. “Sometimes there’s some trouble with free throws, but Amir [Hicks] was awesome in the clutch.” Hicks finished with a game-high 18 points and 15 rebounds, and Patrick added 14 points and eight rebounds for UC. For La Jolla, Reynolds tallied a teamhigh 11 points.
In other action: • In a Western League girls contest played prior to the boys game, the UC Lady Centurions were victorious over the Lady Vikings of La Jolla by a score of 41-22. • In Coastal League basketball action, the tenth-ranked La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) boys team suffered a tough 72-65 loss to the eighth-ranked Francis Parker Lancers. • Six-foot sophomore guard Sage Burmeister totaled 17 points to lead the Torreys.

Watson wins Farmers Open at Torrey Pines BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS While local fan-favorite Phil Mickelson added to his memorable finishes on the PGA Tour, the San Diego native also added to his list of near misses, finishing a stroke behind Bubba Watson in an entertaining Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines that ended Jan. 30. “I just got outplayed by Bubba, who shot really a wonderful round of golf in a lot of pressure being in the second to last group and in tough conditions,” Mickelson said. Mickelson, who was playing in the final group, needed to sink a 72-yard chip shot on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Watson. He took aim and delivered an excellent effort that sent the crowd roaring, but his ball stopped a few feet short of its target, which resulted in another second-place finish for the left-hander. “I felt like it had a chance,” Mickelson said of his final wedge shot. Watson, also a lefty, played a tremendous final round that included making a pair of clutch putts on the final two holes. First, he rolled in a tricky 10-footer for par on the 17th. He then he sunk what proved to be the tournament winner from 12 feet for a birdie on the 18th. Despite his steady play on the course, Watson admitted to feeling a lot of nerves coming down the stretch. “I felt like I wasn’t going to throw up anymore,” Watson said of how he felt after making the putt on 17. “It went in, but I knew the next tee shot on 18 was going to be tough and I knew I needed a birdie on 18. I was hoping it would be a little easier than it was, but it worked out.” Although he may not have the mannerisms (which include perpetually keeping his head down and talking to himself) of someone like Tiger Woods, who displays so much confidence, Watson delivered a Woods-like performance, grabbing onto the lead in the final round and doing what it took to keep it. “I had to stay focused on what I was doing, just keep going and don’t get down,” Watson said. “I’ve played here the last six years and I don’t ever plan on missing it (in the future).” Woods, on the other hand, steadily played worse as the tournament wore on in his initial PGA appearance of 2011. In the first two rounds he showed signs of life, shooting a 69 in each, but a 74 and 75 on the weekend

caused him to finish a disappointing 44th. Up-and-coming PGA star Dustin Johnson closed with a 66 on Sunday to finish in a third-place tie with Jhonattan Vegas at 13-under-par. Vegas, a PGA Tour rookie from Venezuela, played an inspiring final round with Watson. They matched each other shot for shot until Vegas’
attempt to reach the par-5 18th with his second stroke found Devlin’s Billabong pond in front of the green. Mickelson, who shot a final round 69 and finished 15-under-par for the tournament, earned $626,400 for his play. Watson, who carded a 67 on Sunday and finished 16-under-par for the week, took home $1,044,000 for his second career PGA Tour victory.
Paolucci places 29th La Jolla Country Day School senior Anthony Paolucci finished in 29th place at last weekend’s annual PGA Tour stop at Torrey Pines. The 18year-old played consistently throughout the four-day Farmers Insurance Open, posting scores of 70-71-72-72 — 285. Paolucci received a rousing round of applause from fans upon completion of his final round. The current Torrey and soon-to-be University of Southern California Trojan beat out Tiger Woods among many other professionals in his first taste of PGA competition. Paolucci, who received a sponsor’s exemption to get into the event, would have collected $33,814 had he not been playing under amateur status. As the top-ranked junior player in the world, don’t be surprised to see the La Jolla native back on the pro tour in the not-too-distant future. — Lee Cornell

MM visits italy, and LP gives it all away Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas Mainly Mozart (MM) changed its annual mid-January evening gala to a new format in 2010, celebrating young composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s travels in Austria with an elegant Sunday late-afternoon affair. After Austria, Mozart next traveled to Italy, as did MM this year with its recent Festa Italiana celebration at the Westgate Hotel. Arriving at the “Grand Piazza” (the Westgate’s lobby) at 3 p.m., guests were offered champagne by servers attired in 18th-century finery. Roman Holiday musicians and dancers entertained during the cocktail hour, and then led partygoers up the “Spanish Steps” to the “Piazza Novona” to visit the “Brera Art Gallery.” There, a splendid silent auction display offered scores of fine wines and many dining, travel and luxury items. Among the “priceless” packages were private concerts — or private piano lessons — from worldrenowned pianists. One was from Anton Nel; the other from AnneMarie McDermott, who additionally offered a five-night stay for two in her luxurious New York penthouse near Lincoln Center. While bidders perused the auction items and enjoyed a buffet of exotic cheeses and flatbreads, the talented
Aiana String Quartet gave two performances in the adjacent Versailles Room. They played Mozart’s String Quartet No. 1 in G, composed during his first trip to Italy when he was just 14. Alas, poor Mozart — he only lived 35 years — and poor us, deprived of what further beauty he surely would have composed had he lived longer. Dinner was an exceptionally elegant Italian buffet in the “Fontainbleau Ristorante.” The cuisine was excellent and varied, including a particularly delectable veal piccata Milanaise with lemon caper butter sauce. Tony DiBona entertained on the piano throughout the feast. Espresso and dessert were available in the adjacent “Regency Pasticceria.” With 200 guests and major support from the Westgate, the event was a great success. Proceeds will benefit the MM Festival and MM’s educational outreach programs, which reach more than 40,000 children annually.

Jewish Film Festival hits the silver screen BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS The San Diego Jewish Film Festival is once again hitting theaters across the county, starting Feb. 10. The 21st installment of the festival is boasting the theme “Something for Everyone,” and it promises to deliver, with an array of films and events for everyone, from teens to centenarians. “Film is such an interesting medium because it spans generations,” said Helen Fleming, chair of the festival. “We strive to get movies that are exclusive, that people might not be able to see somewhere else, and we want to convey the Jewish experience from all over the world.” The festival will host 31 feature-length films and 13 short films at five different theaters in San Diego, La Jolla, San Marcos and Carlsbad, with its main venue at the Clairemont Town Square Reading Theater. Moviegoers don’t have to have a connection to the Jewish community to enjoy the variety of subjects covered by the films, Fleming said. “The Jewish experience is a very wide and large umbrella, and the themes are universal,” she said. “When you go to an Italian or Latino film festival, you realize that everyone has the same issues and challenges, the same hopes and dreams.” Highlights this year include various events and numerous guest speakers.

What’s in store for First Friday?
Blade runner stalks rocky reefs
BY WILL BOWEN | VILLAGE NEWS Take an enchanting evening stroll along the most colorful and lively street in La Jolla. Sip wine, savor tasty snacks and view fine art. It’s the La Jolla First Friday Art Walk. On the first Friday of each month, from 6 to 9 p.m., some of La Jolla’s art galleries, mainly along Prospect Street, from Girard Avenue to Cave Street, open their doors late and offer special features and treats. The next Art Walk will take place Feb. 4. The first stop on your art gallery itinerary could be Martin Lawrence Gallery at 1111 Prospect St. This month, Martin Lawrence is featuring the work of the multi-talented Kerry Hallam, considered to be a cross between a modern impressionist and a bold and vibrant Fauvist. Hallam is known for his nautical themes and views of ports of call such as on the French Rivera or the Amalfi Coast. Hallam likes to paint on actual nautical depth charts and Martin Lawrence has two of his paintings of sail boats on nautical charts of San Diego Bay. Hallam was born and raised in Northern England and attended London University Central College of Art. He is a member of Great Britain’s Royal Society of Artists in Watercolor. He is also is a musician. He has traveled the world and he has written a book, “Getting to Nantucket,” which is where he established his first studio and gallery.

Down the street and across the intersection from Martin Lawrence you will find Monarch Gallery at 1205 Prospect St. Monarch will be previewing the work of the young Russian artist Alexei Butirskiy, who was trained at Moscow Art College and still lives in that city. Butirskiy recently had a week-long solo show at the very prestigious Piazza Venezia Gallery in Rome. Butirskiy is known for his paintings of the lights of night in the city or of snow in the winter.

Recent flat conditions make for sublime snorkeling, swimming and diving explorations, water temperatures not withstanding. The place to visit is the submerged shallow rocky reef habitat of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve. Enter either from La Jolla Cove or La Jolla Shores, because the reef extends the length from one entrance to the other. From the Cove, take one step into the water and you’re there. At the Shores, you’ll need to access the leafy-covered substrate from the Marine Room. From under water, the labyrinth of submerged rocks and boulders are evidence that the cliffs above won’t stand forever.

Other galleries to visit: Legends Gallery, right next door to Monarch, Contemporary Fine Arts, a half-block down and back at 7946 Ivanhoe Avenue, the Derissi Studio, up the block at 1237 Prospect St., and Fiore Del
Mare, in the alley off 1295 Prospect St., are highlights. After Fiore Del Mar, you may elect to cross the street and walk back down the ocean side of Prospect. Do not forget to stop at Charles Hecht Gallery, at 1264 Prospect St., Galeria Jan, where you can view the paintings of Dr. John Diamond (who is said to have therapeutic power) and Africa & Beyond Gallery, where there are some wonderful color photographs of the Masai cattle herders. Next stop is Hallmark Gallery, at 1162 Prospect St., and then Carlton Gallery, at 1144 Prospect St. You finally end up at Madison Gallery, at 1020 Prospect St. for show of women artists.

ther out, but the shorter, tougher algal species prevail in the rocky arena abutting the cliffs, caves and shore. This setting attracts various red, brown and green plant and plantlike growth. The lush foliage provides an inviting foundation that attracts other life to come and stay. One resident ideally suited to make a home here is the giant kelpfish (Heterostichus rostratus). With a sharp, pointed snout and forked tail, giant kelpfish are impossible to mistake for other local fish — that is, if you can find one. Though relatively abundant, many long-time divers have never laid eyes on one of these stealth beauties because they travel solo and masterfully blend into their background using a variety of disguises. Females may be red, brown or green (like the foliage) and grow to more than a foot long. Males top out at about a half-foot long and can’t muster colors beyond brown to olive-green. Both sexes may add stripes, bars or mottling, whatever best matches their immediate surroundings or emotions. Be they patterned or plain, as an added cloaking device the giant kelpfish body is flattened and elongated to mirror the shape of the weedy blades. Further, giant kelpfish orient themselves to the angle of the fronds and sway in rhythm with the surge, just like their algal alter egos. Kelpfish spawn year-round, but spring is high season. Each male safeguards his nest of algae to which a female lays eggs that sport entangling threads for adhesion. Males remain vigilant for a couple of weeks until the eggs

hatch. The resulting larvae drift in the sea soup for another couple of weeks, then juvenile kelpfish settle, especially around the giant kelp fronds, schooling with others of their size and ilk while feeding on tiny crustaceans. Kelpfish coloration follows development. Half-inch-long youngsters are transparent, and inch-long ones are amber-colored with white blotches. Unlike adults, juveniles remain in clear view within the kelp canopy, but once they grow to a couple of inches long, they descend deeper and go it alone. This makes sense, because hanging out with others would likely sabotage the
many traits that allow these fish to hide in plain sight. If I were to choose a favorite fish, it might be the giant kelpfish, and not because they are challenging to find. Each is like a snowflake or fingerprint because no two are identically colored and patterned. Every sighting, then, is a surprise, because I have no idea what one-of-a-kind outfit any giant kelpfish will be wearing. Au couture! — Judith Lea Garfield, a biologist and underwater photographer, has authored two natural history books about the underwater park off La Jolla Cove and La Jolla Shores.

UCSD presents ‘Threepenny Opera’ through Saturday BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS Theatergoers thrilled by full engagement of all the senses must rush to the University of California, San Diego’s production of Bertolt Brecht’s “The Threepenny Opera,” with music by Kurt Weill and performed by UCSD Masters of Fine Arts students in Marc Blitzstein’s English translation. Created in 1928, “The Threepenny Opera” is what might be called “in-your-face” theater. It’s big, bawdy and charged with the anger and attitude of angry, disenfranchised people, as timely as images from Cairo. In Brecht’s book, the underdogs are the petty thieves, beggars and prostitutes of London. UCSD’s production is a colorful one, with scenic designer Ian Wallace’s red-light district cribs fully lining the walls. They are as many as five tiers high, festooned with ladders, a spiral staircase and a hangman’s noose for the execution of Macheath, a.k.a. Mack the Knife (Zachary Harrison). Macheath has taken as his mock-wedding bride Polly Peachum (Taylor Shurte). Polly, the daughter of JJ and Celia Peachum (Zachary Martens and Jennifer Putney) is virtuous when it suits her. Having divided London into districts, JJ and Celia run a commune of beggars, whom they instruct and outfit, and from whom they profit. Macheath is a notorious criminal with a gang of comically inept henchmen. He is pursued by Tiger Brown (Mark Christine), a crooked lawman, and immediately after bedding, Polly must go on the lam. However, he can’t resist Thursday night with his No. 1 whore, Jenny Diver (Anne Stella). Also on the scene is Macheath’s knocked-up “wife,” Lucy Brown (Megan Robinson). Production of this piece allows MFA student director Jeffrey Wienkowski, along with his MFA creative team and student actors, to
design and perform an iconic work that is so full of itself and was mined by musical creators since (think “Cabaret,” “Sweeney Todd” and “Les Miserables”). If it has a flaw, the UCSD production is too busy (something constantly draws the eye from the action that moves the piece forward), but that is also part of its attraction. Purple and orange dominate Elisa Bezoni’s amusing costumes (she puts Macheath in a purple wide whale pinstripe suit, dark red fedora and orange vest). David Corsello solves sound challenges, and Sarah Cogan lights the goings-on cogently. UCSD MFA theater students are not selected for their singing prowess. “The Threepenny Opera” is not simple musically. While simultaneously creating his own theatrical style (the great Lotte Lenya, Weill’s wife, was the original Jenny), Weill parodied George Frideric Handel, writing complex harmonies, vocal lines and ensembles. Not all the MFA students are adept musically and stylistically; and that is the point, they are learning and we are benefiting. Best performances musically are that of Martens as Peachum and Regan Linton as a wheelchair-traveling street singer, who introduces the show and the final ensemble with the hit tune, “Ballad of Mack the Knife.” Music is in the capable hands of Mark Danisovszky, a multi-instrumentalist and an experienced Weill interpreter. Heidi Wienkowski assists in numerous seamless ways. “The Threepenny Opera” continues at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 3-5, at the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre, UCSD Theatre District. Tickets are $15-$20 at the box office prior to performance. Information is available at theatre.ucsd.edu/season or by calling (858) 534-4574.

They don’t just mow the lawn and take out the garbage (their fathers’ sole responsibilities); they do everything else, from changing diapers to bathing the children and from shopping to cooking.

At work, men have multiple roles that create overload. They don’t just shout orders anymore; they must “communicate.” When I taught management skills, I suggested that bosses explain “the big picture” to subordinates, to make them feel more committed to the task at hand. I preached mentorship: be a coach to your staff, be a team player and share with colleagues within your department and outside of it as well. All this leads to information overload and anxiety. Performance now comprises both the bottom line and having the right attitude. Taking on new roles, both at work and at home, reduces leisure time — time to relax, to recover, recuperate, regenerate.

If so, they have named persons to assist them. If there are no documents, the person should see an attorney and draft them right away. If the person has the capacity to understand what they own and who will take care of them, then all is good. It is so easy to have a power of attorney for financial affairs and one for healthcare. If they do not understand what is going on, then the court will need to be involved. A conservatorship must be done for developmentally disabled adults and other adults (over 18) that can no longer take care of themselves. There is a lot of paperwork to name another to take care of the person’s estate and health care decisions. This is the last place where you want to have to bring your parent.

FASHION RED
CONTINUED FROM Page 1 tury pieces, from pop artist Andy Warhol to painter Pablo Picasso, as well as new, fresh contemporaries who combine inspiration from art legends with insight from modernday issues. Sorrell recommended a painting incorporating the clever use of red, engineered dots and an enthusiastic sense of optimism portrayed by French contemporary pop artist Phillipe Bertho in his painting “The Big Jump.” It is a popular red piece for the not-so-vintage, contemporary art connoisseur.
In your closet
Thinking retro red might compliment your hair and skin, but your personal style is far from retro? True, that Coca-cola color looks great on many — it compliments pink skin tones, silvery gray hair and is perfect for those with dark eyes and raven hair. Many up-to-date red tops and dresses can be found at Corrine Fine Apparel, a designer boutique located at 7644 Girard Ave. and specializing in contemporary and elegant sportswear, special occasion and eveningwear. Tia Ballentine, one of Corrine’s fashionable and friendly saleswomen, loves wearing Corrine’s fashions and lives for contemporary style, interior design, art and fashion. Ballentine recently recommended a sophisticated, simple dress by Porto. The clean lines and cut flatter the figure, while the red color adds a hint of excitement. It’s perfect for a Valentine’s social event or special occasion.
Around your neck
If all-over red is too bold for you, try wearing an accessory that incorporates red in a print. Touches of retro red are worn best by those having a fair complexion, aqua-grey or hazel eyes and blonde to ash-brown hair. Lauren Turek, owner of Kerut, located at 7944 Girard Ave., recently recommended a fun, red and light pink, feather-motif, printed 100-percent-cashmere scarf, designed by We Are Owls. She said her clients love the item. The beautiful soft color combination can compliment a wardrobe’s brown, denim or white jacket. The luxurious scarf is super-chic when styled in a bow, giving a sweet look for Valentine’s Day. Color is key in triggering certain feelings. If you haven’t noticed, La Jolla’s atmospheric cosmos connect both color and attitude to transform busy shopping streets into a picturesque vignette painted from a pallet of ocean blues, reds and romance. Enjoy the ambiance, and know that whatever fashion element you reintroduce into your lifestyle, color can be a fun and exciting way update both your look and outlook on life. — Holly Lauren Beedle has been designing for New York City luxury brands since her graduation from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, where she studied fashion and textile design. A new addition to the Southern California fashion scene, Beedle has worked for Isaac Mizrahi, Bettye Muller, Coach, Macy’s Inc. and New York & Company. She is an instructor at Fashion Careers College of San Diego.

Imagine finding yourself in an animal shelter at the age of 13 (in cat years), after living the good life with a family since you were an 8-week old kitten! That s what has happened to Romeo, through no fault of his own. A handsome brown tabby, Romeo is a cat who lives up to his name — a real lover boy, even in the shelter environment. Romeo has recently received a complete dental cleaning, and thorough vet. check. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all his shots, and has many years ahead of him as a healthy and active cat. Romeo s front paws have been declawed, so no worries about your furniture with this boy. Our goal is to have Romeo in his forever home by the new year. To obtain more information about Romeo, call (858) 2059973, or go to the FOCAS website: www.focas-sandiego.org/ adopt/romeo.htm.
