La Jollan donates priceless gems to Historical Society Recipients ‘like kids in a candy store’

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

James McDonald, owner of Antiques and Art and one of La Jolla’s main estate appraisers, recently donated about 10 boxes filled with priceless items such as La Jolla postcards, Scripps family photos and Jessop family letters to La Jolla Historical Society.

“We’re like kids in a candy store,” said Mike Mishler, archivist for the Historical Society. “McDonald built the collection up over the years from his antique business and estate sales. He set it aside knowing it would be important

to us.”

Pieces from the collection fill in gaps for the La Jolla Historical Society’s various collections, according to Mishler.

From a postcard collection to turn-of-the-century Scripps family photos to real estate brochures from the 1950s and ’60s, the donation spurred excitement at LJHS’ Wisteria House headquarters.

“Usually our donations are a bit smaller and more piecemeal. It’s a significant donation,” La Jolla Historical Society historian Carol Olten said.

LJCPA OKs expansion of Children’s School

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

Dan Courtney learned La Jollans had elected him to sit on the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) board during the Dec. 4 meeting. But Courtney lost an ongoing battle with his neighbor, The Children’s School, when LJCPA board members voted 10-0-1 to approve a motion to endorse the school’s plans to expand enrollment parameters, allowing entrance to junior high school students.

Many supporters brought their children to the LJCPA meeting, filling La Jolla Recreation Center’s auditorium. The families spoke in favor of the

school and its successes.

“This is not about the kids or the quality of the teachers,” LJCPA President Joe La Cava said. “It’s a land use matter.

Floor ratio, parking … Really, it’s a boring matter.”

Jim Kelly represented the school, presenting a slideshow that included provisions the Children’s School was willing to make after mediation with Courtney.

Kelly said the school began outreach meetings in 2006, focusing on the neighborhood, which includes Via Calle Juela, the street Courtney shares with about six homes.

District Court trumps state on seals

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

United States District Court Judge William Q. Hayes signed an order last Thursday that overrides a state court decision banning a guideline rope meant to protect a seal colony at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool during their annual pupping season.

In a Dec. 18 electronic ruling, Hayes sided with Bryan Pease, attorney for the Animal Rescue and Protection League’s (APRL) SealWatch. Pease has battled for the seals’ rope barrier in federal and state courts over the past year.

“The injury plaintiffs seek to avoid through an order requiring the … city of San Diego to comply

with its own resolutions is serious and irreparable, including physical harm to the public and the marine mammals,” Hayes wrote.

Third sewage treatment waiver appears to have the green light

BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS

With local experts and politicos claiming the city imports too much water, treating and reusing sewer water for irrigation — or even drinking — takes on a new meaning.

Meanwhile, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency is verging on granting the city another five-year pass in upgrading its sewage treatment processes to the next level of cleanliness, called secondary treatment.

At least one local environmental group has met with the mayor and city staff in an effort to tackle the problem of rethinking the city’s water and wastewater infrastructure.

“We’re trying to reach an agreement [with the city] over the next month or so … to really lay the groundwork for long-term planning for our sewage and water infrastructure in San Diego,” San Diego Coastkeeper executive director Bruce Reznick said.

The city applies for a permit every five years, allowing the city to empty treated sewage about four miles off the Point Loma coast.

San Diego is one of the last big cities to keep applying for the waiv-

er, Reznick said. This is the third waiver the city has applied for since 1995.

A public comment process for the waiver will continue over the next several months, requiring approvals from agencies such as the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board and the California Coastal Commission. The first public hearing takes place Wednesday, Jan. 21 at the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board offices, 9174 Sky Park Court, at 9 a.m.

Environmental groups such as Coastkeeper have traditionally opposed the city’s application for the waiver.

They sued the city in 2000 because of it, Reznick said. The suit

partly resulted in a water recycling report to the city, released in 2005.

Though another lawsuit is “not off the table,” Reznick said, now is the time to work with the city “hand in hand” to plan for future water recycling. He added that he needs a more comprehensive study of the city’s water infrastructure.

Environmental groups have advocated for an upgrade to cleaner treatment processes at the Point

Loma wastewater treatment facility for environmental reasons.

However, mayoral spokesman Bill Harris said upgrading to secondary treatment processes would cost too much and does too little for the environment.

olutions of its city council by placing a guideline pupping season rope at the Children’s Pool beach in order to maintain the status quo until the issues presented in this case can be fully addressed.”

La Jolla’s harbor seal colony has been the center of an ongoing controversy, mainly between some locals who want to use the area for swimming and diving and animal groups who say they want to preserve the natural rookery, which is home to about 200 harbor seals. The seals’ birthing season begins around Dec. 15 and runs through May 30, according to government officials. Seal advocates claim pregnant mothers and nursing pups need protection from the public by a guideline rope provided throughout pupping season, representatives said.

In 2004, swimmer Valerie O’Sullivan sued the city of San Diego after a group including O’Sullivan swam from La Jolla Cove to the calmer waters of the Children’s Pool, created in 1931 when Ellen Browning Scripps paid for a cement breakwater. The pierlike cement structure extends into the Pacific, calming the area for swimming, according to Scripps’ trust.

Over the years, the harbor seal colony residing at the Children’s Pool has grown in size and is among a handful of natural seal rookeries. When O’Sullivan and the swimming party landed at the Children’s Pool, they allegedly frightened the seals, a violation of the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), court documents said.

Officials cited the swimmers for violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act, according to published sources. So O’Sullivan sued the city, claiming the city breached its fiduciary duties. O’Sullivan said the Children’s Pool was not meant for a seal sanctuary, and she claimed that allowing the seals to establish a colony was a breach of the 1931 Scripps Trust, according to court documents.

Pease, who filed several federal lawsuits last year over seemingly similar issues, said this is a big win for La Jolla’s harbor seals.

FEDERAL COURT TIMELINE • On Dec. 11, 2007, Pease filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of APRL – in U.S. district court – against the city and state, asking for the rope’s issuance. Pease lost. But he said he focused on the MMPA, not the rope.

• On Dec. 18, 2007, Pease and APRL moved for a temporary restraining order regarding the barrier rope, but the district court denied the request in a Feb. 4, 2008 ruling.

• But on Feb. 27, 2008, the district court issued an order “abstaining from exercising subject matter,” court documents stated. Furthermore, the federal court said, the (federal) MMPA “does not preempt the state law at issue in this action.” So Pease immediately filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

• On March 10, 2008, the court of appeals granted an “emergency motion for injunctive relief pending disposition of the appeal staying ‘application of state law or any state court order to prevent placement of a guideline rope in the La

Jolla Children’s Pool Beach.’” Then the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit dismissed APRL’s lawsuit June 17, 2008, saying the court lacked federal jurisdiction, documents stated.

So Pease said he filed another federal lawsuit for the 2008-09 pupping season with official letters that National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) officials sent to the city requesting the rope. Pease focused on the city council’s previous motions allowing a pupping season rope barrier.

• Pease requested a barrier rope and a restraining order in an October 2008 APRL lawsuit against the city of San Diego and NOAA agents and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Pease said.

At this stage, Hayes said the record supports that federal interest is substantial enough to support the question of federal jurisdiction. At this point, the MMPA “does not provide for citizens to enforce the statute but expressly preempts state laws which conflict with the provisions of the act,” Hayes wrote.

All issues regarding marine mammals revert to federal law, Hayes said.

“Consistent with his conclusion … filed on August 26, 2005 by Superior Court Judge William C. Pate which the city is obligated to follow specifically states that ‘noth-

fit. It’s excruciatingly costly, almost physically impossible to construct and provides very little additional benefit to what we’re currently doing,” Harris said.

Mayor Jerry Sanders is making good on his announcement to apply for the Point Loma wastewater secondary treatment waiver.

He announced the decision last year after he gathered a team of UCSD scientists to study the environmental impacts of the treated wastewater on the ocean. While the report stated that more data is needed to fully understand the environmental impact, the Point Loma sewage outfall presents no significant impact to the ocean environment.

Reznick said the dearth of accurate assessments of environmental impacts is part of the problem.

“I don’t think we have that data,” Reznick said, “but there is a lot of information that is required for [determining] overall ocean health.”

The public comment period for the waiver closes Jan. 28.

The Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant treats about 175 million gallons a day of the city’s sewage, according to the city’s Web site. ■

Hayes granted Pease’s application for a temporary restraining order in the Dec. 18 electronic ruling, “…requiring the city of San Diego to follow two resolutions of its City Council by placing a guideline pupping season rope at the Children’s Pool beach in La Jolla, California.”

City crews installed the rope barrier, which will remain throughout May 20, 2009, according to Pease.

Although Hayes said all parties plan to return to his courtroom Feb. 13, 2009, when he will hear Pease’s request for a preliminary injunction, Pease said the date has been extended to March 2009. ■

A San Diego man pleaded guilty Nov. 25 to stealing copper wire from schools in Ocean Beach, the Midway area and elsewhere, and may join his brother who is in prison for the same crime.

Jason Warren Tait, 32, faces a maximum term of seven years and eight months in prison, said Deputy District Attorney Michael McCann. Tait pleaded guilty to eight counts of grand theft. San Diego Superior Court Judge David Danielsen set sentencing for Dec. 29.

“He’s gonna go to prison. No question,” McCann said.

Aaron Charles Tait, 31, pleaded guilty to grand theft on Sept. 9 in the copper wire theft from La Mesa Middle School and asked El Cajon Superior Court Judge Peter

Deddeh for immediate sentencing.

He got it, and is now serving 16 months in prison, according to court records.

Aaron and Jason Tait were both arrested July 22 by La Mesa police after they were discovered on the school grounds at La Mesa Middle School. Officers found 250 feet of copper wire had been removed from the school’s electrical panel. Police said other schools were victimized by copper thieves 16 times before the pair’s arrest.

McCann said the thieves often left live wires exposed.

“The potential was there for some kid to walk along and get shocked and could get electrocuted,” McCann said.

Jason Tait was charged with stealing copper wire from Silver Gate Elementary School on May 18. He was also charged with taking copper from Correia Junior

High on March 17.

Jason Tait was also charged with stealing copper wiring from three other La Mesa schools, including Murray Manor Elementary, Parkway Middle School and Murdock Elementary. He was also charged with stealing copper wiring from Chase Elementary School in El Cajon, Longfellow Elementary and Kroc Middle School of Clairemont, Correia Middle School and Longfellow Elementary School in Linda Vista.

Jason Tait pleaded guilty to eight counts, and eight other charges were dismissed. McCann said Jason Tait pleaded guilty with a waiver that will allow the judge to order him to pay restitution to the other schools involving the dismissed counts.

Jason Tait remains at the downtown central jail in lieu of $50,000 bail. ■

ety’s collection.

“We are calling this the McDonald Collection,” Mishler said.

Olten and Mishler said they hope to use some of the McDonald Collection inside the La Jolla Historical Society’s next exhibit called “Merchants and Memories,” opening Feb. 6.

Mishler and Olten learned that McDonald planned to donate the collection about one month ago, Olten said. When the boxes arrived, the duo perused them, Olten said.

A collection of postcards from professional 1940s La Jolla photographer Lloyd Gillett caught Mishler’s eye, he said.

“It was the most surprising piece,” Mishler said. “Our local expert had never seen him before.”

Organization officials researched Gillett, searching through Blue Books until Mishler said they found his Eads Street office listed.

“He had an ad that he was a portrait photographer and now I’m looking for anything on him,” Mishler said.

Mishler opened one box, grabbing a stack of Jessop family letters. Although La Jolla Historical Society members looked through the letters, they hadn’t thoroughly read them.

Mishler shuffled through a stack of Jessop envelopes, choosing one letter written by a young lieutenant. The letter was written in 1918 from Lt. R. Jessop to J. Jessop. Mishler read the envelope, surmising the young soldier wrote the letter from France at the end of World War I. Mishler

pointed to an emblem from the American Expeditionary Force.

“They censored it, of course,” Mishler said. “It says January 1, 1919.”

Mishler donned his reading glasses, carefully opened the envelope and pulled out papers dating from almost one century ago. He read an excerpt of a letter for the first time — a boy communicating at war’s end to his family.

“Dear dad and bunch … I finished chores, and chow ... I couldn’t help but …,” Mishler read 90year-old words as if they could have been written inside an email. “There are eight San Diego boys here, Don McMillan, Gordon Wells, Cliff Tracy …”

Although Mishler said the society might not display the Jessop letters, he said other items such as Scripps family baby photos and books, including one with Ellen Browning Scripps’ signature, may make the cut.

The collection includes additional La Jolla Blue Books, silverware and memorabilia from La Jolla Country Club, and various nightclub matchbook covers. In every La Jolla collection, the Scripps family name exists.

According to Mishler, La Jolla Historical Society would appreciate donations to fill in gaps from the 1950s through the late 1970s, in addition to the earlier items.

“On Calle Juela, we’ll use the main entrance and make it strictly a staff parking lot and redirect deliveries,” Kelly said. “Despite that we are just the tenants, we offered to pay to patch and sealcoat Calle Juela but we do not support curbs and sidewalks.”

Kelly said the school plans to make additional concessions, including capping current enrollment, in an effort to limit traffic.

About 260 children currently attend the school, according to school officials. The Children’s School plans to enhance the current landscaping, Kelly said.

“There is no negative impact and we have great support from city staff,” said La Jolla Shores Association chair Jim Heaton, adding that his son attends the school.

Courtney said he would like the school to keep the eucalyptus trees, stay closed at night and close its soccer field to outside groups.

LJCPA disagreed with Courtney, passing the Children’s School’s plan without any conditions.

Keep pets safe from holiday dangers

BY SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY & SPCA

he San Diego Humane Society and SPCA reminds pet owners to consider their pets’ safety when decking the halls this holiday season. Holiday decorations, seasonal plants and festive treats can sometimes spell disaster for pets such as cats and dogs, and an emergency trip to the vet can quickly put a damper on any holiday celebration. To keep your pets safe and healthy during the holidays, the San Diego Humane Society recommends keeping the following tips in mind:

T

FOOD: • Feasting on wonderful treats is all part of the fun, but sharing those goodies with your favorite animal companion could be dangerous. Too much fatty, rich or even just new types of foods can lead to digestive problems.

• Bones can tear up or obstruct your pets’ insides, and onions destroy a dog’s red blood cells, leading to anemia.

Chocolate, especially baking chocolate, can actually kill your dog, so keep it all well out of reach.

• Instead, indulge your pets with a special pet food or treat, or place a few tablespoons of peanut butter stuffed in a favorite “food carrier” toy. Be sure all guests know the house rules about feeding table scraps to pets.

More views on Prop 8

DECORATIONS: • Twinkling lights around the house mean extra cords and plugs, which are very tempting “chew toys” for pets. Taping down or covering cords will help prevent shocks, burns or more serious injuries.

• Dangling tree ornaments seem like great toys to cats and dogs. Be sure dangerous ornaments such as glass and tinsel (which can be a choking hazard) are hung on high branches, out of the reach of little paws, and very well secured.

PLANTS: • A number of holiday season plants are toxic or can cause digestive upset to pets if nibbled or eaten, including ivy, holly, mistletoe, poinsettias and lilies. Be sure all of the plants are kept out of reach of pets.

VISITORS: • Guests coming in and out of your home will be at a peak, and this increases the potential for pets escaping through open doors. Keep your pets safely indoors and always make sure they’re wearing current ID tags and that their microchip information is up to date, just in case!

• Our pets can get just as stressed as we do with increased guests, noise and activity. Make sure your pet always has a quiet, secure place to escape the commotion.

• Pets thrive on routine, and increased activity or visitors during the holiday season can upset that routine. Try to keep your pet on his regular schedule for feeding and exercise and be sure the pet gets plenty of love and attention from you!

— Serving San Diego County since 1880, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA provides vital services to animals and people alike through sheltering and adopting animals, providing positive reinforcement behavior training for adoptable animals and for owned animals through public training classes, investigating animal cruelty and neglect, providing adult and youth education programs, sharing animals through pet-assisted therapy and rescuing animals in emergency situations. A private nonprofit organization that receives no public or government funding, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA is supported solely by contributions, grants, bequests, investments, proceeds from the Humane Society’s retail store Muttique and some fees for service. ■

Your [guest] editorial (notwithstanding your disclaimer) of Nov. 20 (“No apologies needed in voting in favor of Prop 8,” page 7) most clearly demonstrates your lack of understanding of how a democracy works. Whatever happened to majority rule? In America, and even in California, the majority rules but not unchecked.

The most basic purpose of having a Constitution is to protect against the majority ruling without regard for minority interests. The California Constitution creates the right of the majority to enact propositions such as Prop 8. That same Constitution guarantees that the State, the government, shall not, cannot, enforce any law, whether enacted by the Legislature or the majority of the voters through a Proposition, that discriminates against a minority.

Similarly, the same section of the Constitution that guarantees your right to publish your editorial (even if a Proposition was passed wanting to prevent your doing so) likewise guarantees that lesbian and gay Californians shall have the same rights under State law as those who voted for Prop 8 (even if that Proposition wants them not to).

myself a liberal, one who has had numerous gay friends and acquaintances; however, to me, marriage between “same sex” couples is a joke. It’s hard to believe anyone could take it seriously. The purpose of marriage has always been the uniting of a man and woman to form a family unit. Two members of the same sex cannot produce a baby and are forced to turn to normal and traditional methods in order to secure children.

By opposing gay marriage no one is denying the great contributions gays have made to society, nor condemning their right to be homosexual. However, marriage is, and should always be, a union between a man and a woman. In the animal kingdom has anyone ever heard of two of the same sex mating? I might add that Obama was very clear in his opposition to gay marriage. Perhaps most of those posting indignant letters in the Village News voted for him.

Mary Rayes La Jolla Although I voted for Prop 8, I have since realized that it is perhaps a little too harsh. If foreigners overstay their visas or enter our country illegally, we show compassion and sooner or later grant them a path to citizenship.

We need to show the same compassion for the gay community. We should amend Prop 8 to allow two men or two women to marry when they can have a child naturally and show, through DNA tests, that they are the parents. If and when God gives mankind that ability, then he would surely want them to be married to provide a home for the child.

Nanette

Despite explicit instructions from the hostess, Joan Bowes, all the signs for garage parking in the building at USD where her function was being held stated “No outside visitors permitted” or words to that effect, and since only her invited guests were attending the annual Distinguished Speaker lecture at the Joan Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, imagine their frustration and hers. Then, to compound the problem, John Bolton, former ambassador to the United Nations (he served for 16 months) with a list of credits too numerous to list before and after that appointment, pontificated on the sad state of the U.N. and the rest of the world. A bit different than the usual holiday event.

One more typical party was given by Jim and Joy Furby at La Valencia, and neither one could recall how many years they had been doing it there, with the usual array of edibles, sliced-to-order turkey, et al. As usual, the two had pre-arranged parking for their guests and, as Joy said, it was for them the best, easiest and most appreciated of holiday parties.

All the old familiar faces were there, including newlyweds Richard and Wanda Levi, Lael and Jay Kovtun, etc., etc., et moi aussi, merci! And a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and joyous Kwanzaa to all.

R E FLECTION S

Feasting with the Social Club in 1908

BY CAROL OLTEN

November and December bring thoughts of feasting and holiday cooking as favorite recipes are revisited and new ones join the old ranks. La Jollans in the early 1900s had their own thoughts about recipes, to the point that in 1908 leading residents of the village formed an organization called the Social Club whose functions were public dances on alternate Thursdays and the publication of a cookbook.

The cookbook — officially titled “La Jolla Directory and Special Recipe Book” — was published in a single and only first edition. It consisted of 17 pages bound together with string and a quote on the cover from Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”: “Now good digestion wait on appetite and health on both.”

Recipes came from leading pioneer La Jolla residents, among them Nellie and Ellen Mills, Olivia Mudgett, Eliza Virginia Scripps, Jane Easton, Mary Good and Helen Hannay. Entries were divided into soups, relishes, fish, meats, vegetables, salads, bread, pies, cakes, desserts, beverages, breakfast dishes and a catch-all called fragments that included oddities such as guava jelly and Indian meal gruel.

As in today’s trend of eating local, early La Jollans shared an interest in things they could harvest and prepare from nearby farms and, of course, the sea.

Mrs. James Wilson, wife of “Squire” Wilson, who built and owned the Cabrillo Hotel, offered

... a grocery and restaurant ran a full-page ad reading, ‘When in La Jolla DO NOT COOK ...’

Abalone Chowder, with the recipe starting with “clean and prepare the abalone.” Nellie Mills, who ran a La Jolla rental and real estate business, proposed an oldfashioned apple pie as well as orange marmalade. Mrs. Walter Lieber, wife of another prominent Realtor, contributed several recipes, including one for White Stewed Fish. Helen Hannay of the well-known Hannay family that started Spindrift Inn in La Jolla Shores shared a recipe for Deviled Lobster.

While many of the recipes have real downhome sense, others indicate that La Jolla in the early days had a few fashionista foodies as well. The booklet includes esoterica such as Norwegian Meat Cakes, Vanities (tiny doughnuts), Impernarda (a fish casserole layered with pogies — West Coast perch — and potatoes) and Sweets a la Parisienne (a mixture of figs, dates and nuts daintily sprinkled with sugar).

Simplicity was important in some recipes as well. Alice Dickey’s Celery Dressing for Ducks reads “mostly chopped celery,

very little bread, poultry seasoning, one large onion, pepper and salt; moisten with milk.” For Economical Soup: “Cut into small pieces three good-sized potatoes, one large onion, one head of celery, four small tomatoes, one sweet pepper. Cover with quart of salted water and boil until vegetables are well done. Add a pint of milk and a lump of butter. Boil up and serve hot.”

While Ellen Browning Scripps was known for her love of simply prepared foods such as biscuits and baked potatoes, she failed to make a contribution to the recipe booklet. Her half-sister, the ebullient Eliza Virginia Scripps, however, offered her recipes for Curry and Walnut Cookies.

Besides the recipes, the 1908 booklet contained many advertisements for local businesses as well as several in downtown San Diego. The La Jolla Merchandise Co., a grocery and restaurant, ran a full-page ad reading, “When in La Jolla DO NOT COOK. Have breakfast and lunch at the La Jolla Merchandise Co.’s lunch counter or take it home with you from our fine delicatessen table.

The big white store has everything good to eat.”

A number of local graduates turned in fine sports seasons at their respective colleges this fall.

On the women’s volleyball courts, Lily Durwood (La Jolla High) played setter at Harvard.

Durwood helped the Crimson to a 10-16, 5-9 Ivy League record. In the team’s final regular season match-up, the junior co-captain dished out 51 assists and four blocks in a five-game loss to Cornell.

Laurel Casey (The Bishop’s School) was a contributor for the Yale University squad that finished as Ivy League champs at 21-6.

She notched a season- and matchhigh 16 digs Oct. 4 versus Brown.

On the gridiron, Travis Golia (La Jolla Country Day School), a freshman kicker at Stanford University, and Andy Altman (La Jolla Country Day School), a freshman defensive lineman, were members of the Cardinal football team. Stanford finished its season at 5-7.

Brian Klene (La Jolla High School) was a freshman defensive back at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT ended its campaign with a 5-5 record.

In the pool, the University of Southern California had a number of Bishop’s School grads on its men’s water polo roster as the Trojans capped an unbeaten season with a 7-5 win over Stanford in the NCAA championship game.

Bishop’s alumni Will Cherashore, Kevin May, Nico Sardo and Andrey Artamonov were members of the top-ranked USC squad, while Alex Pulido (The Bishop’s School) and Peter Sefton (La Jolla High) were members of

SPOTLIGHT ON SENIORS Overload: Take time off in the new year No, it’s not going to get any better — those of us who live on a semester basis were hoping that “next semester” it would be easier.

Those of us who make New Year’s resolutions say that “next year” we won’t be as frantic. Some of us say we will have time to relax more after we get caught up.

But the reality is that “overload” is a major issue, and it’s only going to get worse. There are several reasons for this: Each of us knows far more people than our parents did or that we knew even 10 years ago. These people have expectations that we will spend some time together.

So, even what used to be leisure time, having fun with friends, has become a burden — something we must do if we want to keep up all these friendships.

I have come to realize that when someone calls to ask if we could get together three weeks from Wednesday, and I happen to have a blank space in my calendar, I will automatically say “yes” and put his name down.

Thus, I’ve probably filled the only blank in my calendar without a thought as to whether I really want to see that person in three weeks. In other words, I give control of my calendar to whoever the next caller is. And then we have to reciprocate.

At work it isn’t any easier. There is so much information available now that not keeping up with it puts us behind. Expectations from bosses as to performance mean working evenings and weekends.

Expectations from colleagues for a helping hand, a chat or a drink after work mean time away from families, who also have expectations of their own — for most of us are spouses, parents or children of aging parents.

Often it is the family that gets short shrift, and the result of their expectations of some time together, which go unheeded, make us feel guilty.

I believe that the cause of much of the stress we feel is not meeting others’ and our own expectations of what we should do or how we should be.

The best way to monitor overload would be to not accept any-

Gifts for the elderly Finding a gift at this or any time of year can be difficult, but finding a gift for an elderly person with dementia, Alzheimer’s or other disabilities can be even more daunting. Families will ask us our staff at Innovative Healthcare Consultants what might be appropriate and we offer you a small list at this time.

To help improve cognition or memory: • Crossword Puzzle Books • Board games—and take time to play with them.

To offer comfort and sensory stimulation: • Throws and pillows in unusual textures or stuffed animals.

• Buckwheat neck pillow • Microwaveable heating pads Gifts that take time but little or no money: • Making a family memory video • A Personalized Calendar with family photos and birthdates.

• Collage of family photos for their wall.

There are many more great ideas. Innovative Healthcare would be happy to talk to you. Call us at (877)731-1442 or write us at our website www.innovativehc.com.

thing new, no matter how enticing, unless you can take off an equal amount of hours from some other project.

We tend to add on but not to reduce. Learning to postpone, delegate or refuse is something at which most of us need to get better.

The skill to say “no” or “not me” or “not now” is difficult to acquire because it feels like if we reject the other’s request, we are either rejecting the person or the legitimacy of the request.

Saying “no” to someone means other things have a higher priority, and we don’t like telling people that their needs have less importance. In other words, we’re too nice, afraid we won’t be liked if we refuse — or too insecure, afraid that there won’t be another opportunity.

Well, we may be right, but is the price worth it?

We have theater and concert subscriptions that we attend because we have paid for the tickets even though we’d rather stay home that night. We go to parties and fund-raising events that we know will be boring, but we promised …

On the other hand, we live in a community that requires some obligations. How does one walk that fine line between time for oneself and time for more social pursuits?

Not only do I have a stack of

books I will read “someday,” but I have a pile of journals, a file of unread articles, last week’s Sunday papers and now a new growing mountain: DVDs of programs previously recorded that I plan to watch when I have time.

Then there are things that need to be fixed around the house, items that need to be bought — I won’t mention the family photographs, accumulating in shoeboxes, that need to be put into photo albums or the files that need to be updated or the old clothes that need to be given away.

The result of all this: a feeling of always catching up but never being caught up, running from emergency to crisis, the panic when facing any unscheduled event, feeling we’re depriving all those around us by not meeting their legitimate expectations of time together.

And, of course, we have totally lost sight of our own needs. We do not exercise enough, we eat fast foods, take work with us on holidays and fall into bed at night so exhausted that we fall asleep watching the TV. Being overbooked and feeling overloaded is becoming the national complaint. We need to support one other by being less demanding, lowering our expectations of others and ourselves, and encouraging one another to take time off to live life and not run breathlessly through it.

Remember that “not everything worth doing is worth doing well!” I have never seen a tombstone engraved with the words: “I wish I had worked harder.”

And I have a foolproof New Year’s resolution: “I will not improve this year.” ■

Ducks meet Cowboys at Holiday Bowl

FiberArts comes to end of skein Virtual shop will go online in ’09

BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

While the programs may not be rich in tradition, both Oklahoma State and Oregon will bring years of recent success with them to San Diego for the Dec. 30 Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.

The 13th-ranked Cowboys and 15th-ranked Ducks will meet for the first time ever on the gridiron next Tuesday night at 5 p.m. at Qualcomm Stadium in the 31st annual contest.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN once again.

Oklahoma State (9-3) makes it second appearance in the game, being the highest-ranked available team in

Oklahoma State is a great football team and this match-up is going to be exciting ...

MIKE BELLOTTI OREGON COACH

the Big 12 following the selection of No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 3 Texas and No. 8 Texas Tech for the BCS Championship, Fiesta and Cotton Bowls, respectively.

“We’re very excited about heading to San Diego for the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl,” OSU head coach Mike Gundy said. “It was a tremendous experience for me as a player (played in the 1988 contest for Oklahoma State) and I’m happy our team will get to enjoy San Diego and the festivities that surround a great bowl game. We look forward to playing an excellent Oregon team.”

There should be no shortage of offensive firepower on display, as Oklahoma State scores 41.6 points per game, while Oregon, making its third Holiday Bowl appearance this decade, is at 41.9 ppg.

Oklahoma State, which fell to rival Oklahoma 61-41 in its regular season finale, looks to sophomore running back Kendall Hunter, who compiled a conference-best 1,518 yards on just 228 carries, while also scoring 14 TDs. Oregon, which ended regular season play with a 65-38 win over archrival Oregon State, is led on offense by senior running back Jeremiah Johnson, who concluded the regular season with 1,082 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Close behind was junior LeGarrette Blount, who set a Ducks record with 16 rushing TDs and also ran for 928 yards.

“We are honored and excited to accept this invitation,” Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti said. “Oklahoma State is a great football team and this match-up is going to be exciting for our players and fans, and fans of college football.”

VILLAGE NEWS | MERCY ARCOLAS

Lovely handmade ornaments glisten during a previous holiday open house at La Jolla FiberArts, which last week closed its doors at 7644 Girard Ave.

Lynn Noble clutched at a tissue Friday, wiping tears from behind her glasses as she stood one last time behind the counter of the La Jolla shop she has owned for more than a decade.

“Today, the artists are coming in for their work,” said Noble, owner of La Jolla FiberArts.

Noble described the store as a wearable art gallery. She displayed and sold myriad art, from jewelry to silk scarves. When Noble opened more than 11 years earlier, she said La Jolla FiberArts’ concept caught on with the public.

“We grew and had a loyal following,” Noble said.

Noble pointed to art around the store.

“There’s art still up there,” she said.

Noble walked to the front of the store, looking into a case containing wearable art by Christie Dunning.

Noble said Dunning was the first artist she displayed, and her pieces are now the last sitting inside her windows.

La Jolla FiberArts remained closed to the public Friday, Dec. 19. Though Noble waded through remnants of her “store closing sale,” from the previous three days, she said she wanted to focus on her artists, pointing to a table that held refreshments.

“I’ve been making jewelry for 28 years,” artist Mershid Arjmand said. “And I loved working with Lynn — she is the nicest person.”

Arjmand showcased her jewelry at La Jolla FiberArts but she collected pieces that didn’t sell during the store’s three-day sale.

Arjmand said she plans to sell her designs online with Noble, when FiberArts opens virtually in 2009.

“We were full of wonderful things. We had over 60 artists in here. In the front, we would show an artist just like a regular gallery for about six weeks,” Noble said. “We’d send out a postcard, announcing it.”

San Diego film critics pick 2008’s top flicks FROM STAFF REPORT

The San Diego Film Critics Society has selected “Slumdog Millionaire” as Best Film of 2008. Also honored was its director, Danny Boyle, as Best Director. “‘Slumdog’ is an inspiring film of hope,” said James Colt Harrison, one of the founding members of the critics society.

“Boyle captures the hopes and dreams of a young Indian boy who manages to use his knowl-

edge to make his way out of the slums of Mumbai.”

The Best Actress was Kate Winslett for her role as a German prison guard who has an affair with a young man (David Kross) in “The Reader.” Making the comeback of the decade is Mickey Rourke. He was selected for Best Actor in “The Wrestler.”

One-time Oscar winner Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinney”) was selected once again as Best Supporting Actress for

her role as a stripper who befriends Rourke in “The Wrestler.” As was expected, the late Heath Ledger was picked as Best Supporting Actor for his startling portrayal of TheJoker in “The Dark Knight.”

Best Original Screenplay went to Tom McCarthy for “The Visitor” and Simon Beaufoy was honored for Best Adapted Screenplay for “Slumdog Millionaire.”

The art of cinematography was easily won by Anthony

Dod Mantle for his work at capturing India in “Slumdog Millionaire.” Graham Burt was selected for Best Production Design on Brad Pitt’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” Music plays an important part in a film, and A.R. Rahman won for his work on “Slumdog.” Another “Slumdog” winner was Chris Dickens for his editing.

International Auto Show will drive into SD Convention Center

BY JOHNNY MCDONALD | VILLAGE NEWS

The New Car Dealers Association will put on a happy face to offset the economic doldrums when it showcases polished new beauties at the San Diego International Auto Show, scheduled for Dec. 31 through Jan. 4, 2009.

Smiling through the auto industry’s turbulent times is brave theater amid talk of mergers and bankruptcy. But the Convention Center show must roll along.

The “Looky Lous” obviously will focus on these new models, so easy to touch but right now out of buying reach. But there won’t be any sales pitches.

Overall, though, maybe they should color the Center a bright green.

Its Eco-Center will lay out the industry’s commitment to developing fuel-efficient, low-emission technologies for a cleaner and healthier environment to cut through the smog. It will feature alternative and flex fuel vehicles, hybrids and a VW Dieselution.

Micro-, mild- and full-hybridization are said to be undergoing extensive development, and study participants believe that within a decade all new vehicles will have some level of hybridization.

Engine/fuel options include a variety of advanced lightweight vehicles: internal combustion engine vehicles fueled with gasoline or hydrogen, compressed natural gas, diesel, Fischer–Tropsch liquids or methanol.

I was there for dinner, and the first thing I noticed was the crusty, delicious bread that is delivered partially baked and finished when ordered, giving it a unique exterior. I could have eaten the whole thing but the food awaited.

I started with the lentil soup, which melted my heart. I can say unequivocally that this perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned soup is the best lentil concoction I have ever tasted, so good I could eat it every day without tiring of it.

With my tongue still vibrating from the flavor, I turned to the seared scallop, sided with borlotti beans, tomato confit, done with herbs and white wine — another winner. And I was convinced — something that isn’t too hard to do in my case — to try a bit of

Actually, this is only one of many shows scattered about the country over the next five months.

Hopefully the nation’s tight-fisted consumers can be swayed into buying somewhere on this circuit, which tours California, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and New York. Counting Frankfurt, Tokyo and Paris, 30 shows are on a lengthy schedule. The calendar hardly has room for more.

The basic auto show format has been around since the turn of the 20th century. Prospective customers then would take home pamphlets and brochures to make a choice. It used to be that simple. *** To get an idea how important

car sales are in San Diego, an economic impact report reveals that as a group, the new car dealers are one of the larger employers in the county. These 2007 figures offer some of the contributions to San Diego’s economy: • Total dollar vehicle sales last year was $7 billion for 233,017 sold. The dealerships employ 11,208 workers.

• Financial contributions include $4.8 billion in dealership taxable sales and sales tax at $425 million, while federal, state and local taxes paid or collected was $586 million and payroll taxes at $97.8 million.

• In addition, real estate/business property taxes paid out $24.7 million, local advertising came in at $97.9 million and charitable contributions were $10.2 million. ■

Still to come was the chiantibraised short ribs with valdivia fall vegetables and a bit of rapini, richly sauced and melt-in-yourmouth tender.

4500 feet elevation, Julian is one of the few places in San Diego County where “it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas” and the local weather forecast predicts snow

next week in the mountains.

Julian’s Country Christmas festivities began at 4:00pm on Saturday, November 29th with a Tree Lighting Celebration at 6:00pm of the town’s huge living Christmas tree. This popular annual event draws hundreds of visitors who gather at Pioneer Park to watch the tree lighting, drink hot cider, and visit with Santa. There will be warming stations throughout the town offering hot cider or cocoa, pastries, candies, and other holiday treats. The entire town has been decorated with Christmas wreaths and garlands and most businesses will be open until 9:00pm. Entertainment includes

the Julian Wandering Carolers, a Living Nativity scene, Santa’s arrival in a fire engine, and more.

“Julian offers holiday visitors the perfect Norman Rockwell Christmas experience,” according to Tracy Turner, President of the Julian Merchants Association, “with its nostalgic, small town atmosphere and cold temperatures.”

Everyone is feeling uncerA. tain about today’s investment environment and it is only natural to be inclined to sell stocks now and then buy them back when the market rebounds. Although getting out of stocks and moving to cash will realize your paper losses, attempting to guess the market may cost you even more money.

A 1994 study from University of Michigan found that an investor who stayed in the US stock market during the entire

www.towneley.com/academic_ studies.htm) Very few investors are capable of getting back in the market at the right time; predicting exactly when the market may spike is virtually impossible. This is why I always caution that past results may not be repeated in the future and your returns may not match that of an index.

If your intent is to sell and get back into the market, it may be better to hold tight and stay invested. With a long time horizon and an age-appropriate asset allocation, sticking with stocks through volatile market downturns may likely be a more profitable strategy in the long run. Don’t lose sight of the fact that time in the market, not timing the market, determines financial success. As always, please let us know if we can be of assistance.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer "employment" but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it's illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.

Statewide Ads Be wary of out of area companies. Check with the local Better Business Bureau before you send any money for fees or services.
