BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS Bird Rock has a beautiful, tranquil coastline, but it’s difficult to access and arduous to traverse the smooth, round rocks and boulders that form the beach. Bird Rock resident Claudia Anderson is a surfer who would like to see more access points to the coastline. She proposes building a staircase at Calumet Park to enable more people to visit the tide pools in Bird Rock. A well-worn dirt path currently leads from the park down to the beach. Anderson aired her suggestion at the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting on March 2. “The question is, ‘What is Bird Rock?’” Anderson said. “We’re not just restaurants and shops. People are missing the fact that we have a great natural resource in our backyard — tide pools. Access to the beach will help bring people to visit Bird Rock. [The tide pools] will bring the right type of person who is an educated person interested in tide pools. They’ll shop in our stores.” BRCC member Felicia Parker said she is hesitant about the idea because she worries about the impact more people would have on the ecosystem of the tide pools. Anderson argued that the tide pools are a great resource for children to learn about marine life and oceanography. Other attendees at the meeting questioned whether the neighbors would want more visitors in their neighborhood. No city funding is currently available for the staircase. “If the proposal receives the support of the community groups, pri-

vate funding would likely need to be identified before the project could proceed,” said Erin Demorest, spokeswoman for District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner. Meanwhile, the city is working to redesign the vista point at the end of Midway Street in La Jolla that is currently closed off. The city plans to install an iron fence, new benches and to landscape the area. The city has identified $65,000 of the estimated $125,000 needed, according to BRCC past-president Joe LaCava. The city needs to secure all the funding for the project before it can begin construction, which is estimated to start in late 2011.

Northern LJ gateway receives funds Stimulus dollars will go toward beautification and safety BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS A half million dollars in federal stimulus money has been allocated to spruce up the northern gateway into La Jolla — namely the last leg of Torrey Pines Road from the village to the shores. More than a dozen members of the community banded together six years ago to study the corridor to make it safer for pedestrians and neighbors, and to beautify the area in a project called the Torrey Pines Corridor Study. To beautify the corridor, a wooden fence will be built along Torrey Pines Road and trees will “It’s probably the most significant proCOURTESY ART ject to come along since the Bird Rock be planted along the roadway and sidewalk.

corridor project,” said Robert Thiele, who chaired the Torrey Pines Corridor Study Committee. “This is the entrance to La Jolla on the north side and it’s really a gateway project that will benefit La Jolla for years and years to come for walk-ability and safety. It connects the village to the shores and from the shores to the hillside. It’s a very important triangle of walk-ability.” City engineers will start with $167,000 to begin the preliminary design work and cost estimates. The city plans to return to the community within the next three

months to prioritize the improvements. The community will have a chance to revisit the more controversial proposal to install a pedestrian signal light at Princess Street, for example. The light will provide easier access to the beach for neighbors and pedestrians on the east side of the street but will also slow traffic. The idea is to redesign the street to make it safer for pedestrians to walk along the road and to open up view corridors to the ocean that are currently SEE FUNDS, Page 4

UCSD administration agrees to fund diversity initiatives BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS Administrators at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) signed an agreement with the Black Student Union (BSU) on March 4 to fund more diversity initiatives after an off-campus party to mock Black History Month incited a torrent of protest. A noose was later found hanging in the library on Feb. 25, and someone placed a Klu Klux Klan-style hood on a statue outside the Geisel library on March 1. UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox agreed to fund a number of programs and staff positions to help increase the number of minority students. The university agreed to fund a BSU-

initiated program to attract more minority students; a program coordinator position for the African-American Studies minor; reactivate six unfilled faculty positions dedicated to African Diaspora, Indigenous Studies or California Cultures, as funding becomes available; and create three new faculty positions over the next three years for diversity-related topics. The university will create a task force to promote the recruitment and retention of minority faculty as part of the agreement. Fox also agreed to dedicate more space to public art that represents minorities, as well as to make the Chicano Legacy mural permanent. Fox also agreed to establish a Campus Climate Commission to assess the campus climate that black students have

called “hostile and toxic.” Daniel Widener, an assistant professor of history, is cautiously optimistic about the agreement. “If implemented fully, the agreement would constitute an important first step to rectify a longstanding problem on our campus,” Widener said. Creating a diverse campus is not only a moral imperative, it’s financially important to retain funding from state, federal and private sources, Widener added. “I also think there is a strong degree of faculty confusion about the importance of the accord,” Widener said. “I think many faculty will perceive the question of diversifying the campus as the property of a small group of people instead of Students attend a demonstration on the University of California, San Diego campus March as the responsibility of all of us.

BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS The fate of the Children’s Pool returns to the forefront as the city’s Natural Resources and Culture Committee will take action on how to manage the beach on March 17 at 1 p.m. in the council chambers on the 12th floor of City Hall, 202 C St. The public will have the opportunity to comment. Those who cannot attend can e-mail comments to committee Chair Donna Frye at donnafrye@sandiego.gov. The battle over the use of the beach shifted gears when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill permitting the beach to also be used as a marine mammal park in late 2009. Until then

the city had been obligated to maintain the beach as a bathing pool for children, according to Ellen Browning Scripps’ stipulations when she funded the breakwater and deeded the city the property to maintain in 1931. The City Council now has the authority to decide how to manage the use of the beach. If the City Council decides to close the beach to people and dedicate it to the seals, the city would need permission from the Coastal Commission. Advocates for joint-use of the beach for both humans and seals presented their ideas to the La Jolla Community Planning Association on March 4. Debbie Beacham, a former world surf-

ing champion, proposed dividing the use of the beach into two seasons: seal season and human season. Seal season would run from Jan. 1 to May 31 to protect the seals during pupping season, Beacham proposed. Humans would have full access to the beach without a rope barrier from June 1 to Dec. 31. Designating a season for human use would not preclude people from violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) if anyone incidentally harasses or disturbs the seals. “There are plenty of beaches in the U.S. where pinnipeds haul out and there SEE POOL, Page 3

NEWS One-year sentence given for vehicular manslaughter BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS A worker at a La Jolla nursing facility who drove drunk and killed a passenger in her vehicle was sentenced March 3 to one year in jail under conditions of five years probation that bars her from drinking alcohol for five years. Iveth Zea, 27, of San Diego, pleaded guilty to committing gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, stemming from the Oct. 25, 2009 crash that claimed the life of Nicholas Zagunis, 22, of La Mesa. She also pleaded guilty to drunk driving with great bodily injury to her boyfriend, Clayton Perham, who suffered a skull fracture. Zea has worked at an unspecified nursing facility in La Jolla since 2004 and had planned to become a registered nurse, according to her probation report. She suffered a concussion in the 2 a.m. crash on Miramar Road when she was driving her Chevy Avalanche too fast and struck an electrical transformer. Her car then struck a building and several trees, and Zagunis, who wasn’t wearing a seat belt, was ejected and died at the scene. “I considered Nick my friend. I wish it was me and not him,” Zea said. “I accept the consequences, but I am having a problem forgiving myself.” “I will never in my life touch alcohol, never, never (again),” said Zea, who added that she attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings while in jail. San Diego Superior Court Judge T h e o d o r e We a t h e r s a g r e e d t o place Zea on probation but only after she waived her 130-day jail c r e d i t s s o s h e wo u l d a c t u a l ly ser ve a full year in jail.

Perham told the judge, “I don’t think a jail is where she belongs.” Her attorney, Joseph Judge, said Zea was “extremely remorseful and extremely embarrassed.” Deputy District Attorney Steven Marquardt asked for a prison term of four years and three months. “She knew she had an alcohol problem. Mr. Zagunis is not going to come back,” said Marquardt, adding that her alcohol level was .20, which is more than twice the legal limit for drunk driving.

are no specific or special provisions about whether people can use the beach or not,” said Sarah Wilkin, a marine mammal biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “The general rule is, if people are not harassing the pinnipeds, then it’s not a violation of the MMPA.” Beacham also suggested the city set up a “free speech” booth for activists to rally for their causes that is away from the entrance to the beach. Swimmer John Steel also called for the city to protect public access to the beach at the meeting, saying it is “one of the best dive access points in San Diego.” Steel is president of Friend’s of the Children’s Pool, which advocates returning the beach to a recreation area.

Turning concrete into art Benches become canvas for colorful mosaic artwork in Bird Rock BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS

A guardrail and concrete bollards will be installed along the road from west of Coast Walk to east of Prospect Street to protect homes and pedestrians from wayward drivers. COURTESY ART

blocked by chain-link fences and construction vehicles. The plan calls for installing a 5foot-wide sidewalk on the north side of Torrey Pines Road and removing utility devices from the path. A guardrail and concrete bollards will be installed along the road from west of Coast Walk to east of Prospect Street to protect the homes and pedestrians from wayward drivers. To help residents on the north side of the street make left-hand turns into their neighborhoods, the

plans call for constructing a 10foot-wide median in the center of Torrey Pines Road. The bluff on the south side of Torrey Pines Road is slated to be stabilized with a concrete stone wall, starting with a segment from Lookout Drive to Roseland Drive. To beautify the corridor, the chain-link fence will likely be replaced with a wooden fence. Little Street Park is slated to be landscaped, and the plan calls for creating a new pocket park at Amalfi Street that includes a bus stop. The plan also calls for tree plantings along the roadway and sidewalk. The plan further suggests establishing a maintenance assessment district to upkeep the new plantings.

What most people see as ugly concrete surfaces, such as benches and retaining walls, Bird Rock artist Jane Wheeler sees as potential canvases for artwork. Such was the case two years ago when the city wanted to tear out the terra cotta-colored concrete benches to replace them with wooden ones along La Jolla Boulevard. Wheeler had the vision to recycle the benches by tiling them into colorful mosaics. Wheeler finished her third bench along the boulevard near the Lupi Italian Restaurant on Jan. 3, and she has plans to create two more. The latest bench mosaic is themed “Children are the Future,” and was sponsored by two Bird Rock residents in honor of their grandchildren. “Bird Rock” is spelled out in large letters across the bench in 1,000 small pieces of glass beads, rocks and tile. Small mirrors reflect the sun, and cross-sections of Brazilian agate resemble tree stumps. Wheeler wrote the couple’s mantra for raising children across the bench in tiles: “Tend to your children so they grow up kind, respectful, healthy and joyful.” She imbedded small objects of family memorabilia across the sides and legs of the bench: children’s handprints, a bar mitzvah cufflink, a banking money clip and a wild parrot inscribed “Sofia and Leon.” Wheeler called the project a game of “eye spy.” “It’s a treasure hunt. First you see the visual and then you see the words,” Wheeler said. “The whole idea is that there’s a lot of depth going on.” Pedestrians sit on the benches, run their hands over the smooth pieces of tile, pebbles and beads to find little messages. Wheeler believes the positive messages inspire people subliminally. “I believe in making art come alive in the community,” Wheeler said. “People see something beautiful and it makes them want to do something for the community in any way.” Each bench will also feature these lyrics from one of Wheeler’s favorite childhood songs: “By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea.” Bird Rock Community Council President Joe Parker and his family sponsored the second bench outside Bird Rock Coffee Roasters in honor of his father, who loved music and was seen

as a pillar of the community. Donors pay $1,500 to re-tile a bench, which takes Wheeler more than 100 hours to complete. “Like an alchemist, I spread out a whole bunch of colors and textures and play around with them until the right combination appears,” Wheeler said. “It is definitely a work of divine inspiration.” A resident of Bird Rock for 16 years, Wheeler is a selftaught artist who retired from a career in event planning to raise her two children and devote more time to her art projects. She calls her husband her patron. Now, the artist has her eye on painting the utility boxes in Bird Rock. Currently, she is working on a mosaic sundial for Bird Rock Elementary, and had led students in the after-school club at Muirlands Middle School to paint the “Peace, Love and Change” mural across the retaining wall on Nautilus Street.

NEWS NEWSbriefs Taste of Bird Rock canceled The Taste of Bird Rock party will not he held this year. The Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) has decided to end the annual event that has become too successful for its own good. To replace the popular fundraiser, BRCC is considering hosting a concert in September to raise money for Bird Rock Elementary School, or organizing an Octoberfest along the boulevard. The Taste of Bird Rock has grown in popularity over the years, attracting a larger and more rambunctious crowd. BRCC President Joe Parker said he saw people pushing 12-pack cases of beer around in strollers and tailgating on the backs of their trucks. Police had also noted the increased foot traffic and drinking, and had informed BRCC that it needed to bolster its security and traffic control measures. BRCC decided it didn’t want to take the additional steps to handle the crowds, which would increase costs. “The point is to interface residents with merchants and to raise funds,” Parker said. “When you have to fence off areas, the costs escalate and it becomes counterproductive.” The Taste of Bird Rock, typically held in July, started in 2002 to promote area restaurants and evolved into a fund-raiser for Bird Rock Elementary School in 2005.

La Jolla competes for high-speed broadband Google is experimenting with introducing speedier Internet access to the public and La Jolla is vying to become its test dummy. The new ultra-high speed broadband is anticipated to be 100 times faster than the current network. La Jollan Adam Harris is preparing the paperwork to compete for the spot along with other cities like Seattle, Davis, Sacramento and Pittsburgh. Harris was

the man who led the fundraiser to save the Fourth of July fireworks last year. La Jolla’s world-class status in science and educational institutions gives it a fighting chance, according to Joe LaCava, president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association. “In a relatively small area, La Jolla combines world-class researchers and educational facilities, a business district and a large residential area,” LaCava said “These stakeholders are already well-connected, no doubt hungry for cutting edge service, and yet this area has a high barrier to entry for new Internet providers. We believe those characteristics and others will be appealing to Google.” Harris must submit the paperwork by mid-March.

OPINION

THURSDAY · MARCH 11, 2010 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Saying ‘yes’ when one should say ‘no’ “I’m just a girl who can’t say no,” goes the song. In the case of the musical, her problem was saying no to men. Yet the problem is much more pervasive than just romantic relationships. I do it, all my friends do it, everyone I know does it. We all say, “yes,” “OK,” “I’ll do it,” when we don’t want to. It can be a favor for a friend, additional work for an employer, a helping hand to a co-worker, an errand for a relative, a committee we don’t want to sit on, a fundraiser we don’t want to attend. Why do we say yes when we really mean no? Do women do it more often than men? I believe they do. After I have said yes, agreed, committed myself, I often regret it. By then, it’s too late. If it is hard to say no, it is 10 times harder to say, “I’ve changed my mind.” So why do we do it? Often it does not seem such a burden at the time. Many of us underestimate the time it takes to fulfill the added responsibility or else the deadline is weeks or even months away. I frequently ‘Me Too!’ accept to write a lengthy arti- I am always someone’s daughter cle or to give a talk “due next someone’s mother year.” But then that inexsomeone’s wife orable date arrives and I’m frantically trying to fit it in I am also someone’s teacher with everything else I have to someone’s neighbor do. someone’s friend Another reason is that it feels better at the moment to I am available say yes to someone than to responsible say no. None of us likes to be can reliably be counted on rejecting, and this is perhaps I wish I, too, had ME to lean on. where the gender difference — Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. comes in. Women generally are more attuned to the needs of others, more consciously dependent on relationships. Turning our back on a request feels like a rejection of the person, instead of just a denial of one request. It is not very different from the statement that women tend to personalize more than men. In other words, if a woman’s behavior is criticized, she feels like the criticism is an attack on her whole person, not just a reference to one of her actions. If refusing one favor is seen as akin to rejecting the person, it becomes understandable why women would have a harder time doing so. Another reason is that women either are genetically programmed to be more nurturing or have been brought up to be more giving. That being the case, it is not surprising that when asked to extend themselves, they tend to do it. We have been taught to think of others and thus are quick to respond when we hear a plea for help. There is also the issue of assertion. It often feels like being assertive in responding to one’s own needs instead of someone else’s is selfish. “I’m going to take care of myself first” smacks of the “me” generation. The voices disagree between my needs and wishes versus your needs and wishes. Of course, when it’s our children, their needs come first until adolescence — then it’s up for grabs as to who wants and gets the car or how much money they’re allowed to spend. Discipline and teaching values comes into play and the “why” of decision making becomes more complicated. We tend to say yes more often to people we like, to people in power, to people with whom we have a reciprocal relationship. We also tend to help out people we feel sorry for, those who can’t fend for themselves. The issue then is how real are our feelings of responsibility. Are we taking on too much — is it a burden that can be shared or are we not paying attention enough? Now, I am not saying we never should respond to others. I like that nurturing side of women. I like it in me. It becomes an issue and a burden, however, when it is not what we really want to do, when we pay too high a price for it. What is important here is to know whether there is enough available time and energy or whether there is not.

Dear readers, It has been a joy and privilege to bring you the Village News each week for the past several years. So it is with a somewhat heavy heart that I say farewell.

Could seal population cause a shark attack? As a 17-year resident of La Jolla, I’ve watched the seal controversy closely. Or I should say, I’ve smelled it. Living just upwind of their rank aroma, I still love seals, but the growing overpopulation of seals in La Jolla is woefully misplaced. The fervent welcome and protection from some is based on a misunderstanding of the situation and the risks. Extensive citations discuss the serious illnesses that humans will get from the documented contamination from seal fecal matter and other viruses and waste from the seal population in La Jolla. According to marine researchers, there are now hundreds of seals and they have eaten all the fish. Seals eat between

6 percent to 8 percent of their body weight in fish PER DAY. Those beautiful goldfish that we used to love to snorkel with? Gone. And yet we don’t see anyone out there with a petition to save the fish. Just as the seals have preyed upon these former inhabitants of the cove, seals also attract great white sharks. Across the Web you see warnings, “Do not swim, snorkel or surf near seals.” Why then did they knowingly and enthusiastically open a great white bait shop in the middle of the most populated swimming, surfing and snorkeling areas in the world? Based on what I’ve learned about the loss of a fantastic triathlete, father and husband, David Martin, to a great white shark in June 2008, the seals were a factor. Seals have a 25-mile colony range and when

David was fatally attacked, common sense dictates that it was likely a morning shark-hunt-seal chase gone bad because that morning, according to lifeguards, a seal beached itself just before the attack. We can be sure that there are sound arguments from the seal colony’s self-elected custodians, and that there are details of this debate that I have missed, but this letter is an appeal to rationality. Will the seals directly cause another shark attack on a human?

FOOD & DRINK

California’s rising star VINEYARD PLACE By MIKE KALLAY

One of the most wonderful aspects of California as a grape-growing region is the virtually unmatched diversity in growing sites. From the cool coastal regions like Santa Rita Hills and Sonoma Coast to the warm valleys of Sonoma and Napa to the hot areas like Lodi and Amador and the higher-elevation areas west of the Sierras like Eldorado. You would be hard pressed to find another growing region on Earth with

both the climatic and geographical diversity of this state. (I’m sure the French may disagree, but they probably won’t read this anyway.) This incredible diversity means that not all varietals will ripen correctly in all areas. I don’t want to name names, but let’s just say that Cabernet from San Diego isn’t too good, and I contend that Sauvignon Blanc ripens so well that it almost has none of the Loire’s minerality or zestfulness, leaving it as uninteresting as a Steven Seagal straight-toDVD movie. But, there is one group of grapes that seems to be incredibly adaptable to the different parts of this state, and there’s an advocacy group working hard to advance this agenda: The group is The Rhone Rangers, and I’m sure you can guess the group of grapes. The Rhone growing region in France officially has

22 varietals of grapes permitted for planting, with the primary four being Roussanne, Viognier, Syrah and Grenache. And guess what? They all do amazingly well here in many parts of this state. Let’s focus on Syrah. The mysterious, full-bodied, sometimes smokey, sometimes jammy wines are true chameleons. I don’t think there is a better wine example that truly shows its terroir while still being adaptable to many different climates and soils. The good news for wine lovers is that plantings of Syrah are on the rise in this state, and for that we can thank winemakers and growers in The Rhone Rangers. This group was formed in the ’80s by Bob Lindquist of Qupé Wine Cellars, Randall Graham of Bonny Doon, and John Alban of Alban Vineyards. Their stated mission is, “Advancing the knowledge and enjoyment of Rhone wines produced

in America.” John Alban was allegedly the first to plant Syrah in the Central Coast — arguably the state’s most revered region for the grape. The stretch of land between Santa Ynez/Santa Barbara up through Santa Maria and Edna Valley, San Luis Obispo and finishing around Paso Robles might just be the epicenter of great Syrah. Yet, as I finish that statement, I can’t ignore the amazing Syrah coming from Monterey, or the amazingly Hermitage-like juice coming from Carneros & Russian River. What about those big brooding examples from Lodi, or the unfortunately under-represented ones from Napa? Lake County has some great examples too. This might surprise you, but the best Syrah I’ve ever tasted from California was from San Diego! South Coast Winery’s Wild Horse Peak vineyard at 2,400 feet produces a scant 1.5 ton/acre per winemaker Jon McPherson. Less fruit equals more interesting juice. The point here is that Syrah truly can grow anywhere in this state AND show well, albeit differently. Syrah plays really nicely in the vineyard. It is late blooming, resistant to rot and ripens early. This means that the grower can feel good about quality fruit every year as the blooming avoids Spring frosts, and it gets harvested early, missing the Fall rains. It ages well with the full fruit, medium-to-high alcohol and firm tannins. It’s probably best aged in American oak (again, don’t tell that to any French people you know). Syrah pairs extremely well with food. It will stand-in for a Cab just beautifully when paired with

grilled meats, and it will make your eyes roll back when coupled with some tangy Santa Maria tri-tip. Who should be drinking California Syrah? You! Unlike some of the other red wines, Syrah is approachable when young, affordable, and very readily available. You can’t go wrong with any of the Qupé wines. Bob actually makes five or six different Syrahs depending on the vintage. They’re all from different vineyards, or different blocks in the same vineyard. Zaca Mesa in Santa Ynez has been committed to Rhone varietals since the ‘80s. Not surprisingly, many of the Rhone Rangers’ biggest advocates came through Zaca Mesa at some point: Bob Lindquist of Qupé, Ken Brown of Byron, Lane Tanner and Adam Tolmach of Ojai. And to go for the hat trick of sticking it to the French in this article, President Clinton served Zaca Mesa Syrah to French President Chirac when he first visited the White House. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I would say that Syrah can’t be imitated. It’s far too unique to its site to be made to look like something else. Grab a bottle of California Syrah and have a one night stand with it. You’ll likely fall in love!

With countless Bishop’s screaming his name, Peabody saved three of the first four penalties to send the passionate Bishop’s fans into a frenzy with the title. Bishop’s School had advanced to the championship game following a 2-1 win over Mater Dei last week in the semifinals. “While this was a disappointing loss, it was certainly a great game and a spectacular season,” LJCD head coach Jerry Fleischhacker said. LJCD reached the finals following a 52 upset victory over top-seeded Holtville. In that win, LJCD got scores from Ryan French (two goals), Klitzner (two goals) and Alex Fleischhacker. LJCD head coach Jerry Fleischhacker also credited the play of goalie Michael Bailey, Alistair Dobke, Philip Poyhonen and Danny Rogers. BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

Leading up to third-seeded La Jolla’s matchup with the top-seeded Mt. Miguel Matadors for the CIF title in Division III, boys’ basketball coach Kamal Assaf already considered the Viking campaign a success. “We’ve had a phenomenal season,” Assaf said. “This was our third straight trip to the finals. If we’d won it, every one would have said, ‘Wow!’” Unfortunately for La Jolla, it came up just short in suffering a tough 47-46 loss to Mt. Miguel on a free throw with no time left on the clock at the University of San Diego’s Jenny Craig Pavilion on March 6. “We’ve shown we’re a consistent program,” Assaf said. “However, you have to finish games strong.” To their credit, the Matadors showed their strength, jumping out to an early 13-8 lead before four quick points by 6-foot, 2-inch senior Taylor Davis cut the Mt. Miguel cushion to 13-12 at the end of the first quarter. “We were controlling the tempo of the game,” Assaf said. The Vikings started to assume control in the second quarter, outscoring the Matadors 16-8 to take a 28-21 edge into the locker room at halftime. During the second period, Davis led La Jolla with nine points and was followed by 6-5 senior Jack Latta with four points, while 6-2 junior Ryan Mills had three of his own. After the intermission, it was more of the same as the Vikings went on another one of their vaunted runs, this time of the 9-6 variety, to vault ahead 37-27. “At that point, we wanted to slow t h e game down and make it a grinder,” Assaf said.

La Jolla’s Jack Latta goes to the hoop during the Vikings’ narrow 47-46 loss to Mt. Miguel PAUL HANSEN | Village News on March 6 at USD.

But, it was Mt. Miguel’s turn to do the grinding on La Jolla as Yuel Hagos hit his first three-point goal of the game to get the Matadors going on a mini 52 run to close the third quarter and trim the margin to 39-32. In the fourth quarter, Mt. Miguel continued to get the job done as Hagos hit two more three-pointers, narrowing the gap to 42-40. “Playing in a big gymnasium like this, they (the Matadors) made their three-point shots and free throws to win it,” Assaf said. Down the stretch, Mt. Miguel’s Harry Brazelton hit seven of nine free throws, including the game-winner with no time remaining. With the score all tied up at 46-46,

Brazleton put up a shot but was fouled as the buzzer sounded. He was awarded three free throws but sank the first one to seal the 10th straight victory for the Matadors. Davis finished with a game-high 25 points and 13 rebounds for the Vikings, followed in the La Jolla scoring column by Latta (10 points), Mills (5 points), 6-1 senior Max Greenberg (2 points, 7 rebounds), 5-11 senior John Walsh (2 points) and 6-6 senior Mike Soumekh (2 points). For Mt. Miguel, Brazelton and Hagos each had a team-high 13 points apiece, while A.J. Stanford added 11. NOTE: La Jolla High was defeated by Huntington Beach Oceanview High 47-62 on Tuesday, March 9 in the first round of state playoffs.

My parent/spouse does not Question: want to talk about death and dying. How can I get them to a lawyer to get their estate planning done? I have actually heard this many times and have to say that once I talk to the reluctant client, they always end up taking care of business. To make this easier, I make home and hospital visits. I do give prospective clients a free consultation to discuss their situation and for them to see if they would like working with me. You can also schedule a phone consultation with me to talk to them. My friendliness and approachability can be heard over the phone.

team again. As Elegado returned to the game and LJCD pushed its lead to 60-45, the Lady Torreys were en route to the crown. Freshman Briteesha Solomon led LJCD with 17 points, while fellow freshman Kelsey Plum added 11. For Bishop’s, Elaina White scored 12 points while Alissa Campanero and Bryn Stark each added 10. Both teams advanced to state play, which was set to tip-off this week.

My goal is to keep all estates from going through the court process of probate. It just takes too much time and costs too much money. I hope to help you and your family member do this before the end of the year. Now what is stopping you from calling my office to set up a few minutes consultation? This does not cost you anything, but a probate will cost your heirs tens of thousand of dollars and be a real hassle. I have a way to accomplish this and I need your help.

Rainbows span spectra from sky to shining sea BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD When showery weather arrives, can rainbows be not far behind? While not entirely predictable, if there is a break in the clouds, the part of the sky opposite the sun may display a rainbow. In other words, the sun will always be behind you and the rain will always be in front of you when a rainbow presents itself. Even if you can’t be sure a rainbow will appear, you can always count on seeing its color bands in the same order: red (outermost), orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (innermost). Light is not only a key ingredient for rainbow formation, it is the only ingredient because rainbows are white light — sunlight — that is split into its individual parts, which are different wavelengths, and these wavelengths correspond to different colors. Sunlight traveling through air remains in one piece (as white light) but if it strikes a different medium, like water, it splinters into different wavelengths, thereby revealing different colors. Take, for example, water in the form of rain drops. Here, the sun rays strike each drop at a slightly different angle, with each drop acting as a prism to yield a tiny rainbow. While there is no way you can see a rainbow of this size, when millions of drops

Italian-born Renata Spiazzi, who once used paint brushes and chisels to create other forms of art, now uses software to make colorful fractals, which she overlaps and interlaces to create ADRIANE TILLMAN | Village News abstract compositions.

The tools in 84-year-old Renata Spiazzi’s spacious art studio at her home on Torrey Pines Road are now primarily three computers and a 44-inch Epson printer. The Italian-born artist has put away her oil paints, marble chisels, bronze slabs and canvases for computer programs like Photoshop, Ultra Fractals, Kai Software and Apophysis. Spiazzi uses the software to create an inventory of colorful fractals, which she later overlaps and interlaces to create rather abstract compositions. A fractal is a shape or pattern comprised of miniature replicas of itself. A snowflake and Romanesco broccoli are both examples of fractal patterns. “When I feel that I have a shape that is worthwhile, I start experimenting, overlapping different images with different backgrounds and I create my compositions. This operation takes sometimes several images or even fragments to finally have a message. I think there SEE SPIAZZI, Page B3

have rainbows, the visible color spectrum is revealed to our eyes. We see a rainbow and not, say, a rainsquare because raindrops are round. The only reason we don’t see a circular rainbow is our orientation on land. To see a rainbow in full circle, you’ll need to be airborne or high atop a mountain peak where atmosphere is both above and below you. Personally, I’m more than satisfied seeing any size or shape of rainbow. I just like to see all the pretty colors diffusing from one to another.

Gala features Sue Wong Restaurant spices up fare Tabu Sushi is both a sushi bar and a late-night lounge on Girard

BY DIANA CAVAGNARO | VILLAGE NEWS A style-studded gala will be presented by The Fashion Group International (FGI) on March 26 at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter San Diego. The evening will include an awards ceremony and dinner followed by a fashion show with top designers, produced by Gretchen Productions. FGI announced that celebrity designer Sue Wong will highlight the evening with Style 2010 … Night of Stars. The house of Sue Wong specializes in opulent evening wear that is meticulously hand-beaded and embroidered. “I strive for that alchemy, where the romance of the clothing transforms a woman into a goddess — an emissary of beauty,” Wong said. A goddess is what every woman feels like when wearing one of her signature styles. Robert Rodrigues and local celebrity designers including Gordana “Goga” Gehlhausen (“Project Runway 6”) and Jesus Estrada (“Project Runway 7”) will show additional designs. The Fashion Group will present awards to professionals who have demonstrated leaderSue Wong ship and philanthropic endeavors. The awardees are: Sue Wong, fashion industry; Susan Lazear, education; Burl Stiff, media; Virginia Napierskie, community outreach; Maria Barry, interior design; and Gordana Gehlhausen, rising star. Burl Stiff, who has been an institution in our community for more than 30 years, also has a love of fashion and will show three creations that he has designed at the show. Julie Fought and I are event chairs along with Honorary Chair Joyce Glazer and Honorary Celebrity Chair Tadashi Shoji. Several fashion schools will have student representations at the event. Gladys Villacorta, a student from Mesa College ,was announced winner of the Style Illustration Contest. Proceeds from the event will go toward the fashion student scholarships as well as the Monarch School. For more information, call (619) 239-4287.

Tabu Sushi & Grill hopes to pull in some of the clientele who once only headed for Girard Street after dark to carouse at Jack’s. Three business partners designed Tabu to serve as both a sushi bar and late-night lounge to bring back some of the nightlife. The bar is fully stocked with high-end liquors, wine and beer. The lights dim and music plays until 2 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Live jazz music plays until 9 p.m. on Sundays. Tabu Sushi opened three weeks ago at 7734 Girard Ave., across from Mary Star of the Sea. Owner Andy Sliuman also runs a Tabu Sushi & Grill in El Cajon and Del Mar. “The concept was to make it a cool, modern, hip sushi bar,” said partner Pablo Aguilar. The 27-year-old helped open the Hard Rock Hotel and worked in VIP services at the Ivy Hotel downtown. Aguilar said he and Sliuman sat looking at the plain walls of the Girard location for hours before they decided to decorate the restaurant in contemporary colors of white, gray and black, and then to place a rolling red drapery across the ceiling to add warmth. An immense black glass wall hangs behind the bar seating. The lights change colors to fit the mood. A specialty sushi roll to Tabu is the Kai Roll: tuna, salmon and yellowtail shrimp with two main surprises — spice and a cucumber wrap instead of the ubiquitous seaweed. Executive chef Tony Parker wields his knife like a writer moves a pencil. He moves at an insanely fast pace — slicing

into a fresh oyster, carving cucumber into ribbons — and rarely cuts himself after 17 years on the job. Before Tabu, he worked at Benihana. “I grew up in Chula Vista and I love spicy food,” Parker said. “Then I realized that 95 percent of the people love spicy food like I do.” So, Parker weaves jalapeños and habañeros into enough rolls to satisfy others who enjoy spice as much as he does. Aguilar said business is flowing so far, despite little marketing. Tabu Sushi & Grill is open Mondays-Wednesdays, 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m.; Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 11:30 a.m.-2 a.m.; and Sundays, 1-9 p.m. Call (858) 456-2020.

should be a message in every composition or the work is just a pretty object,” Spiazzi wrote on digitalartguild.com. “When God created the universe he started with a fractal,” Spiazzi said about one of her compositions called “Creation,” in which she swirls rainbow fractals to paint an image of the beginning of time. “[The art] should communicate a feeling, and in choosing abstractions I feel the viewer could compare my work to a piece of music,” Spiazzi continued. “Like in music, there are no flower pots or seascapes or pretty dancers. There are lines and shapes, that through their meaning, transmit feelings and emotions.” When a friend gave Spiazzi a computer in 1990, she wasn’t afraid to explore the digital world even though she had spent the past 30 years teaching tactile arts like sculpture, painting and handicrafts in the San Diego Community College District. She read the manual and became engrossed in using the new, technological tools for creating art. Plus, the new art form wasn’t as messy as oil and acrylic paints. “People who have computers say, ‘I want to do this, too,’” Spiazzi said. “But I’ve been doing this all my life.” Spiazzi collaborates with fellow artists and shares her work online as a member of the international Digital Art Guild at digitalartguild.com. She says galleries aren’t too keen on printed art since the older versions of ink usually faded within a week, even though Spiazzi said the ink has since improved. So, Spiazzi displays her work wherever it’s wanted. She overlapped images of San Diego with fractal patterns for the City Attorney’s Office and plans to hang a few pieces at the Treasury Department office downtown. She is preparing for an 80-piece

our ability to see rainbows. Our brains do the rest because we perceive colors by three different particles in the retina. Our eyes respond to the different wavelengths (colors) with these three receptors. Though rainbows are made up of many more than seven colors, the human eye limits our thrills here. This is why we can’t see radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, x-rays or gamma rays. What may be most surprising is that rainbows can be had under water. I see them sometimes while scuba diving. As with rain drops, water in the ocean is always moving and acts like a prism just like As a school of sargo fish passed by, two members swam at just the right angle for the sun© 2010 JUDITH LEA GARFIELD for rain drops. In this respect, I light to create a rainbow on the reflective fish scales. think of the ocean as one gigantic rain drop. While I’ve never seen a complete rainbow submerged, I have witnessed pieces of rainbow when sunlight passes into the water and then bounces off reflective objects like fish scales, shiny white animal skin, or light-bending sand particles. What is so awe-inspiring about rainbows? Is it their ephemeral nature? Is it their orderly arrangement of colors? Whatever the case, rainbows are a magical meeting of water and light transformed into Nature’s color wheel where they can be savored for only a brief time.

art show at Poway Center for the Performing Arts in May. In La Jolla, Spiazzi recreated Belle Baranceanu’s mural “The Seven Arts” for the school’s auditorium after the mural was destroyed in an earthquake. Spiazzi’s house is a testament to her life as an artist. Her sculptures, paintings, embroideries and quilts decorate each nook and cranny. She even designed her front door, which she carved the five rivers of life into. Spiazzi and her husband of 57 years, Mario, moved to La Jolla in 1958 to be close to the ocean. Spiazzi grew up in Trieste, Italy, where she was trained in oil painting, drawing, pottery, sculpture and jewelry-making. She also learned to sew, embroider, knit and crotchet. Spiazzi is willing to sell her fractal artwork but that’s beside the point. “I’m interested in the search … I’m interested in the science,” Spiazzi said.

Dr. Alicia Kennedy, DDS La Jolla’s Best Dentist! Dr. Alicia Kennedy is a graduate of the UCLA School of Dentistry as well as the Seattle Institute for Advanced Dental Education. In addition, she has completed over a 1,000 hours of advanced education relating to dental innovations and research. Dr. Kennedy was voted the number ONE dentist in the La Jolla Village News Reader’s Choice poll and voted number ONE dentist in the “La Jolla Light’s” consumer poll. Dr. Kennedy is also one of the very few dentists that uses a high-powered microscope for ultimate precision with her work!

Helping Seniors Thrive Thirteen years ago, Colleen Van Horn, the CEO of Innovative Healthcare Consultants, was a discharge planner in a local hospital. She saw an incredible lack of guidance for people leaving the hospital and going to a skilled nursing facility or home. “The care was so fragmented and the system was so complex, I decided to help families by setting up my own company to help.” When clients are discharged from a healthcare facility to go home, the family and elder can go into panic mode. They often need a person that is especially knowledgeable in the care and resources available to the elderly and that’s what makes the RN Case Managers at Innovative Healthcare the best. They will bring the family together with the older adult to assess and evaluate the current situation to enhance their lives as well as improve their safety and well-being. All the care plans put together are individualized after talking to the client and their family to consider what life was like before they called us and what has changed. The geriatric case management process allows the elder to live as independently as they can. “We will use insurance benefits the client may have, interact with the primary care

If there is a problem, such as an elevated blood pressure, our RN’s can call the physician, obtain a verbal order for any changes and educate the family and caregivers. We can also accompany the client to doctors’ visits, to make sure the physician has a clear picture of what’s going on at home.

Going Local The local food movement certainly deserves support and it’s helpful to identify what we mean by local. Commonly, the “one day’s drive” definition serves well; this can include Riverside, the Imperial Valley, the Central Valley, and our local growers in the county and in Mexico. Access to so many growing regions combined with our 365-day growing year gives us a wonderful advantage. What isn’t so great is that most of our commodities, including wheat, rice, beans, corn, canola and oats are grown somewhat further away. Since the redevelopment of San Diego’s downtown district, we are down to just one produce “house,” forcing most local growers to sell on the Los Angeles market. This means that much of our locally grown food goes first to LA and then back down to us. For this reason, a group of farmers and other interested parties are working to reinstate San Diego’s marketplace by refurbishing the old Farmers’ Market Building located on Imperial Ave., creating a local produce distribution center once again. That effort and the resurgence of interest in local farming, especially by young people, is a positive sign that “local” will be increasingly available. As oil reaches peak production, a food revolution is certain, since it is upon oil that our current farming system depends.
