By Dave Schwab Ten residential burglaries occurring in the last two months in Bird Rock had one thing in common. “In all but one incidence, the point of entry was an unlocked door or window,” San Diego Police Lt. Paul Rorrison told Bird Rock residents at a special meeting at Bird Rock Elementary School called last week to discuss home security concerns in the La Jolla neighborhood. Rorrison, who’s in charge of scheduling and overseeing three police patrols a day, seven days a week in the area advised, “If you’re a (crime) victim, let us know. If we don’t know about it — we can’t do anything about it. If you see something that isn’t right: Call us.” Responding to audience queries about Lt. Paul Rorrison speaks to what to do about Bird Rock residents about strange solicitors cancrime prevention. DAVE SCHWAB vassing door to door, community relations officer Alan Alvarez said, “Don’t answer the door.” Alvarez pointed out solicitors can be criminals who often employ runaways or homeless youth to case homes — and neighborhoods — to see which residences have valuables or easy access.

Whoa! It’s a Whale!
PHOTO BY Ed Witt
Final days to submit great wildlife photos to win C&H gift card It was about 3:15 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19, about a half mile offshore, when I saw a huge splash from my condo balcony (the top unit at 457 Coast Blvd.) and then the whale breached perhaps four more times. I caught it in various stages, but this is by far the best photograph, especially with the kayaker in view. I drove to the shore to rendezvous with the kayaker so I could send him the photo, but I missed him. Perhaps he’ll see it; I’m sure he’s telling everyone he knows about the “one that got away.” I definitely need a better telephoto lens! — Scott Beard

Councilwoman facilitates funds for electronic speed alert signs By Pat Sherman Newly installed traffic-calming signs along Torrey Pines Road are hoped to slow vehicles whooshing through the scenic artery. “V-Calm” electronic speed warning signs were placed along Torrey Pines Road at Kings Way heading into La Jolla and at Amalfi Street heading eastbound. The radar-controlled signs display the speed of any vehicle traveling more than 35 miles per hour, encouraging drivers to slow down. For years La Jolla residents have complained about speeding cars along Torrey Pines Road, a precarious stretch that is difficult for law enforcement to police. A business owner had previously sought to sponsor and pay for the signs, though red tape and questions about how big the proprietor’s logo would appear on the signs caused the deal to fall through, Lightner said. The signs, which cost $10,000 each to install, were eventually purchased using funds from Lightner’s council budget. Work on the Torrey Pines Corridor Project, which is intended to beautify the scenic stretch and improve safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, is ongoing.
Nuts4Cars to launch nine classic car shows in La Jolla By Neal Melden Girard Avenue will be the venue for not just one car show in 2012, but nine. These free shows are the efforts of a dedicated group of La Jollans known by the jovial moniker, Nuts4Cars. Each venue promises to be a museum-quality exhibition featuring at least a million dollars worth of four-wheeled motoring memorabilia that visitors can view and then speak to the owners. The brunt of the $35 fee for the car owners to exhibit their machines will go to the San Diego Police Officers Widows and Orphans Fund. All cars will be judged and prizes will be awarded for a

Map indicates the types and locations of the 33 reported crimes throughout Bird Rock from Nov. 25, 2011 to Jan. 16, 2012. COURTESY OF SAN DIEGO POLICE DEPARTMENT From Burglary, A1 map showing 33 reported crimes throughout Bird Rock and where they occurred from Nov. 25, 2011 to Jan. 16, 2012. The crime list included 12 car prowls, 5 auto thefts, 2 commercial burglaries, 10 residential burglaries and 5 vandalisms. Michelle Fulks, head of Bird Rock’s Neighborhood Watch Program, said it’s important to document the day and time of a crime incident and get an incident number. She added it’s also good advice to make sure there are visible addresses on the rear, as well as the front, of homes to help officers locate crime scenes. Target hardening is the most important thing residents can do to discourage home burglaries, noted Rorrison, “crooks want an easy victim.” Rorrison added many home burglaries happen during the day when residents aren’t expected to be home. “If you have double locks, use them,” advised Alvarez about home security. “Padlock side gates and close garage doors locking all doors leading into homes.” Regarding car theft, Alvarez said, “There is only a piece of glass separating a prowler from the interior of a vehicle. It’s a 5-second smash, grab and go. People shouldn’t use their cars as storage lockers, leaving valuables in full view.”
After the meeting, Alvarez talked about what burglary victims should do. “Don’t touch anything, especially if there’s a point of entry,” he said. “If your doors and windows are wide open when you come home, call police to have them check the house first.” Alvarez added fingerprints are generally taken around points of entry and come out best on smooth surfaces like glass or metal. He explained that how long it takes for police to respond to a particular call depends upon what “priority” that call is, and how busy it is at the time. He added crimes in progress get the highest priority and are responded to the most quickly. Discussing how a crime is recorded, Alvarez said an officer is sent to the scene to take a statement from the victim, and examine the crime scene “where the points of entry are, what items were taken, etc.” After that, Alvarez said standard procedure is for officers to do fingerprinting, as well as a witness check, asking neighbors if they’ve seen or heard anything, before filing a crime report. Neighborhood Watch is invaluable in crime prevention for a number of reasons Alvarez said. “It’s a networking communications system and that network is the eyes and ears of the police. It also warns people to be wary of stuff that is going on.”

I hesitate to make a list, Of all the countless deals I’ve missed, Bonanzas that were in my grip-I watched them through my fingers slip. The windfalls which I should have bought, were lost because I over thought. I thought of this, I thought of that I could have sworn, I smelled a rat. And while I thought things over twice, another grabbed them at the price. It seemed I always hesitate, then make my mind up much too late. A very cautious man am I, and that is why I never buy.

Cluster Association launches initiatives for better education By Sharon Jones La Jolla Cluster Association About 85 elementary school educators in La Jolla came together on Jan. 18 to learn new strategies for teaching mathematics, at a training supported by the La Jolla Cluster Association (LJCA). The gathering marked the first time that different public schools in La Jolla brought their teachers together for professional development. The principals of La Jolla, Bird Rock and Torrey Pines Elementary Schools organized the event. San Diego Unified School District math experts showed a video and led gradelevel group discussions. The LJCA provided lunch, courtesy of Girard Gourmet, which gave the group a discount rate. LJCA represents the five public schools in La Jolla — La Jolla High, Muirlands Middle, and the three elementary schools. The five principals sit on the governing board, along with 10 teachers and 10 parents. The board meets regularly at the Muirlands Middle School library. In other LJCA news: 1) At its most recent meeting, the board heard an update on efforts by the community education committee to start a speaker series.

From Rice, A1 students not to coast along with a sense of entitlement. “There are many, many people just as smart, just as intelligent, just as capable, who will never get the chances and the opportunities that you’re getting,” she said. “It’s a privilege to get a great education. Never take it for granted.” Rice spoke of her youthful ambition to become a concert pianist, a dream she abandoned in college after attending the Aspen Music Festival and School training camp, where she discovered there were students more advanced than she. “I thought, uh-oh. … I’m about to end up teaching 13-year-olds … or maybe I’m going to play piano bars or at Nordstrom,” she quipped. As a student at the University of Denver, Rice took a course in international politics and became smitten with Russia. “There was no Earthly reason that a black girl from Birmingham, Alabama ought to want to be a Soviet specialist,” she said. “It was just what I was passionate about. … Don’t let somebody else define your passion by your gender or your race or where you come from.” In order to be on top of their game, Rice advised students not to burn the candle at both ends, taking time to get rest and exercise. “When I was the Secretary of State … I told my staff, ‘You do not want me making decisions on behalf of the United States of America on four hours sleep,’” she said. “Take care of yourself now. You’re body will take care of you when you are older.” Following her presentation, Rice fielded questions from students. Sophomore Alejandra Gallegos asked Rice for her definition of success.
Sixth-grader Justin Porter (left) asks Condoleezza Rice about her role models as a young girl. Rice flashes a smile during her talk at The Bishop’s School on Jan. 19. PAT SHERMAN “Financial success can go away just like that,” Rice cautioned. “To me the most successful people are people who find meaning in their lives. They believe that they are having an impact on issues or causes that they care about.” Seventh-grader Andres Worstell asked, “How do you argue against a president when you disagree with their action, statement or decision?” Rice said the key is to have an “open and honest” relationship with the president. “If
the president ultimately disagrees with you and takes another course, if it is something that somehow violates your values, then you have one choice, which is to resign,” she said. “Then you can say whatever you want. “I never faced that situation with President Bush. I never felt that a decision — if it was a decision that I didn’t agree with — had violated my principles.” In regard to the Bush Administration’s decision to enter into war with Iraq, sophomore Hanna Bourne asked, “Knowing what

you know now, is there anything you would have done differently?” Rice answered, “Where we really didn’t succeed was in quelling the violence in Iraq among the insurgents. We probably didn’t have enough troops on the ground. ... We put too much focus on Baghdad, and not enough focus on what was a very big country. Yes, there are several things that I would do differently, but the one thing I would not do differently? I would not leave Saddam Hussein in power.” Freshman Adeline Shin asked what it was like to experience the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 as a member of the Bush Administration. Rice said the worst moment of that day was “15 awful minutes” in which she and other White House officials believed that the Pentagon had ordered the military to shoot down United Airlines Flight 93, which she said they later learned had been “driven into the ground by passengers to prevent another attack.” “What happens to you if you’re in a position of authority on that day is you resolve that you can never let it happen again,” Rice said. “I’ve often said that after September 11, every day after that was September 12.” Following the presentation, Rice lunched with eight people who won the honor through a school auction. “Collectively, the people who bought this opportunity raised the equivalent of two full scholarships to Bishop’s,” said the school’s director of marketing and communications, Suzanne Weiner. “It goes to our financial aid program, which speaks to Condoleezza’s passion for children and education.”
www.lajollalight.com From Dukakis, A1 chronic depression, which Mrs. Dukakis formerly treated with a heavy regimen of antidepressants. The controversial treatment received attention when actress and author Carrie Fisher discussed her success using ECT to treat bi-polar disorder, which she recounts in her recent memoir, “Shockaholic.” “She brought it to the public in a way that, frankly, left me horrified,” Mrs. Dukakis said. Seated in the room with his wife, Michael Dukakis told how ECT treatments have mellowed during the decades. He said the practice has come a long way since its depiction in the 1975 film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” in which Jack Nicholson’s character receives vicious jolts of current in a “shock shop.” “It’s a very different treatment today,” Dukakis said, noting that the patient is anesthetized and less electricity is used. Mrs. Dukakis said she received her first ECT treatment on her wedding anniversary. With ECT treatments, she was able to stop taking antidepressants. “Look at her, folks,” Dukakis said. “Here she is, 75 year of age. I keep introducing her as the best-looking social security recipient in the country.” However, he noted, his wife’s depression is chronic and must be constantly managed. She receives ECT treatments once per month at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dukakis said the procedures have caused some memory loss in his wife. After undergoing one of her first ECT treatments, Kitty Dukakis had no recollection of a trip to Par-

is. When the couple returned to Paris, it was as if she were experiencing the city for the first time. “That’s kind of become a model for us,” Mrs. Dukakis said. “You just forget.” Following the discussion, Dukakis visited several classrooms to speak with students and field questions about his two terms as governor of Massachusetts, as well as his stint as the 1998 Democratic presidential nominee. Addressing students in Robert Grasso’s eighth grade American History class, Dukakis said his positive impetus to seek public office was John F. Kennedy, and his negative impetus, former Sen. Joseph McCarthy. He recalled his time in the early 1950s as a student at Pennsylvania’s Swarthmore College, where he helped organize a boycott of
the town’s barbershops (in response to their policy of refusing service to black customers). Dukakis wound up starting an integrated barber service on campus, he recalled. “All of this progress that we’ve made (in this country) was because good people got involved,” he said, urging students to become “actively engaged” in their community and perhaps consider a future in politics. “It’s not only important,” he said. “It’s fun. It makes life a lot more interesting.” Fielding questions about the current crop of GOP presidential contenders from students and parents, Dukakis did not hold back, reserving harsh criticism for frontrunners Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. “We are experts on Mitt Romney,” he said of his successor to the Massachusetts governorship. “Before you ever think of
voting for that guy, talk to us. … He was a lousy governor.” Of the GOP contenders, Dukakis said he preferred Jon Huntsman, who dropped out of the race following the New Hampshire primary. Huntsman was “head and shoulders” over the other Republican candidates and “has a very responsible worldview,” but “he’s not a Tea Party guy,” Dukakis said. During a mid-day assembly, Dukakis received the school’s inaugural “Friend of Country Day Award.” This is the third year Dukakis has visited with students at the school, in concert with the City Club of San Diego. On Jan. 21 he delivered his annual “State of American Politics” address to City Club members in the school’s community room.

Sea stars are models of engineering, efficiency Starfish are iconic animals of the sea, immediately recognizable by everyone. Although many insist that the proper term for these calcareous By Kelly Stewart creatures is “sea star,” starfish is more commonly used. Starfish are Echinoderms (along with sea cucumbers and sea urchins) and many belong to the Class Asteroidea. There are hundreds of different species around the world in all kinds of habitats, but there are 3 or 4 commonly seen starfish in our area. Starfish have incredible features and complexity. Their bodies are made up of calcium carbonate materials, which give the exoskeleton a hard structure. Internally, they are all hydraulics. By controlling the amount of water in their system, and moving it around their bodies, they can move and feed very effectively. The madreporite, which is a calcareous porous plate on the top of the starfish just offcenter of the central disk, is used to regulate the amount of water in the vascular system. Sea stars move along the seafloor, gliding on tube feet. Tube feet extend from the internal water system out through spaces in the hard exoskeleton, and water pressure is used to
Natural La Jolla
move the feet, distributing pressure to different areas where it’s needed. Water can be pumped out into the feet, or contracted back into the body. Most starfish have five arms (pentaradial symmetry) that radiate from a central disk. Many people are familiar with the amazing regeneration capabilities of the starfish. As long as part of the central disk is present, a starfish can regenerate its entire body (although it takes some time). Arms lost to predators are able to grow again. Oftentimes when you pick up a starfish in a tidepool, you’ll see a jelly-like protrusion on the underside, coming out of the central part of the body. Often there will be a mussel or other hard-shelled creature caught in the jelly. This is the stomach. Many species are able to push one of their stomachs (cardiac stomach) to the outside of their body to feed on hardshelled items like mussels and urchins. The digested food is then passed to their pyloric stomach, which stays inside the animal. Starfish, although technically eyeless and earless, have many senses. They can sense light and dark using ocelli (light detecting pigmented skin cells) on the ends of their arms. Tube feet in this area are equipped with chemical sensors, which help the starfish detect odors of food. Sea stars play a critical role in the ecosystem as predators, and are known as keystone species, because they help regulate fast-growing populations of invertebrates and maintain biodiversity.

Society search on for new director, post office save By Pat Sherman and Dave Schwab Since La Jolla Historical Society’s executive director John Bolthouse announced his resignation last week to become executive director of the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College on Feb. 20, the Historical Society has formed a committee to find his replacement. Also on its agenda is a move to save La Jolla’s Wall Street Post Office from sale, and a revamping of The Society’s website. Board member Doug Dawson is heading up the 5-member search committee and in the meantime, Society office manager Carlos Gonzalez has been appointed interim executive direcJohn tor. Bolthouse “We’ve started putting the word out to the (local) nonprofit community,” said contractor Tom Grunow, a member of the search committee, which also includes Christina Freundt, Suzi Bustamante and an as-of-yet-to-be-named, board member. “We’re hoping to see if there are any people who will come forward that we might consider, someone who has experience with nonprofits.” “(My move) is just a tremendous chance for professional growth,” Bolthouse said. “The Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College is a wonderful place and there’s an opportunity to make a difference there.”
La Jolla Historical Society
Address: 7846 Eads Avenue Phone: (858) 858-459-5335 Website: www.lajollahistory.org/
Bolthouse joined the Society in August 2006 and during his five-plus years at the helm, he worked with the board of directors to establish a broader community profile. He added a larger professional staff; a public exhibition and gallery docent program; emerging youth-oriented programs; increased partnerships with La Jolla’s business community; and an array of events, including the annual La Jolla Concours d’Elegance and walking tours. The Society also completed renovation of its new collections storage facility, expanded its donor base, nearly doubled its operating budget with exponential growth in financial assets, and acquired a more diverse, philanthropic-minded board of directors. Most significant, during Bolthouse’s tenure, was the 2008 donation of historic Wisteria Cottage to the Society by La Jolla’s Revelle family, a turning point in the organization’s history. Grunow said Bolthouse’s replacement will be someone who can pick up where he left off. “We’re looking for a fresher vision of where the Historical Society should go with all of this growth going on now that we’ve reached this plateau,” he said. “The recent
tear down of Windemere Cottage and news that the Wall Street Post Office is being moved and sold, underscore the escalating need for historical preservation.” The Society is also nearing completion of a $2 million fundraising campaign to complete build-out of Wisteria Cottage and the rest of its campus. “We’re in the high $1.8 million range and we’re wrapping up the campaign, waiting to see if the last of the donors out there can help us close that gap,” said Grunow. After Windemere Cottage’s unexpected demolition on Christmas Eve, Grunow said the Society is working with Save our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) to make the City of San Diego aware that “their process for issuing demolition permits needs to be significantly improved.” With public interest growing to save the post office and its historic mural, Grunow said the Society has responded by forming a Preserve the La Jolla Post Office Committee intending to resubmit an application for the post office’s historic designation. “That will happen immediately with this committee being co-chaired by Ann Craig and Janet Evans, with information and input from the community,” he said. “There will also be some public meetings to collect ideas.” The Society has also updated its website at lajollahistory.org with an easier-to-use design providing search tools for key words and easy access to the Society’s Twitter, YouTube and Facebook accounts.

Dying palm trees removed from church property By Dave Schwab A city of San Diego work crew removed the ailing trees lining the sidewalk in front of St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church’s gift shop at 743 Prospect St., on Jan. 19. “We had multiple arborists come out to corroborate that the trees were dying of redbud rot fungus,” said Walter DuMelle, assistant to the rector at St. James. “Arborists were actually pulling bark off the trees that were dead or dying of the fungus.” Since all the trees were infected, DuMelle said the city took them out all at once instead of piecemeal. He added the church’s Building and Grounds Committee has yet to determine whether to replace the trees. “Right now we’re just mourning our loss,” he said. Several months ago, St. James filed a police report when the church noticed several palm trees appeared sickly with their fronds yellowing. Parishioners had raised the money to plant those trees about 20 years ago, according to Blayney Colmore, the former rector. At that time in a church newsletter, St. James current rector Rev. Randal Gardner concluded, “After several months of working to improve the health of the palm trees that surround the St. James campus, we have come to the conclusion that their poor health is very likely the result of poisoning. An arborist who is an expert in palm trees confirms that conclusion.”

student center in neighborhood
By Dave Schwab A smaller Hillel Jewish student center proposed across from UCSD got the same answer from the adjoining single-family neighborhood: No. La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) voted 5-2-1 and 6-1-1, respectively, against recommending issuance of a site development permit and granting a street vacation for a 6,600-square-foot Jewish student center (significantly less than the 12,000-square-foot facility originally proposed) on a small triangular parcel on the south side of La Jolla Village Drive between Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Scenic Way. “The bulk and scale of the project and its style would be disruptive of the architectural unity of the area,” argued architect and committee member Phil Merten who made the motion for denial. Committee member Michael Morton disagreed. “There are other modernistic homes in that area that have this type of architectural vocabulary,” Morton said. Hillel spokesman Bob Lapidus detailed project changes disputing the notion it would be an exclusively religious facility or incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood. He said improvements would include a park-like setting with enhanced pedestrian access. Attorney Julie Hamilton, representing residents, argued the size and nature of the project make it inappropriate for its designated site, exacerbating parking and traffic problems.

By Pat Sherman Native San Diegan and former Bird Rock resident Lori Saldaña was a member of the California state Assembly from 2004 to 2010, representing the 76th District (which includes a sliver of Bird Rock). Saldaña, whose father served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a reporter for the San Diego Evening Tribune, was raised in Clairemont, where she currently resides. She earned a bachelor of arts degree and a master’s degree in education from San Diego State University. After college, Saldaña went on to teach business information technology for the San Diego Community College District, where she also managed Department of Labor grants used for student technical training. Saldaña has distinguished herself as a champion of environmental causes. From 1992-1994, she chaired the San Diego Wetlands Advisory board, and in 1999, President Clinton appointed her to the Border Envi-
ronment Cooperation Commission’s advisory council. In 2007, Saldaña was named Legislator of the Year by Californians Against Waste for her legislation regarding E-waste. She also co-authored the state’s Million Dollar Solar Initiative and the Global Warming Solutions Act. She was appointed assembly speaker pro tem and served as chair of the bipartisan California Women’s Legislative Caucus. Saldaña has been endorsed by seven Democratic Clubs, including those in La Jolla, Pacific Beach and Rancho Santa Fe. She also has received endorsements from the American Federation of Teachers, Congress members Karen Bass and Judy Chu, former San Diego City Councilmember Donna Frye, current City Council members Marti Emerald and Tony Young, San Diego School Board President Richard Barrera, State Controller John Chiang and State Senator Mark Leno. The La Jolla Light recently met with Saldaña to discuss her candidacy and plans for the 52nd District. To read the interview in
its entirety, visit lajollalight. com. La Jolla Light: Please tell us something about your ties to La Jolla? Lori Saldaña: I was born in La Jolla, at what was originally Scripps (Memorial) Hospital on Prospect Street, so I felt like I had come home to be able to live in (Bird Rock), a neighborhood just a few miles from the hospital where I was born. Walking the bike path that connects Bird Rock to the Village, I started watching the infill happening there, in that open space area along the bike path. I watched the development (in Bird Rock) just as it was getting started, when they turned the old hotel on the bluff into the high rise condos La Jolla Light: What do you think about the redevelopment of Bird Rock overall? Lori Saldaña: It’s pretty dense, compared to when I was there. La Jolla Light: As a member of Congress how would you use your position for the benefit of your La Jolla constituents?

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JANUARY 26, 2012 - Page A15
From Election, A14 infrastructure, just like the rest of the city of San Diego. Part of the clean water act funding is to go to help rehabilitate and maintain old wastewater and water infrastructure. So, I want to make sure that San Diego gets its share of those funds that would go into communities all along the coast. There are federal programs and funds available. What’s missing is the management. Members of the city council were actually found negligent in mismanaging the Clean Water Act funds. San Diego had a terrible legacy of sewage spills for a very long time. It took people like Donna Frye, who has endorsed my campaign, to step up with as an activist. When she and (husband) Skip owned Harry’s Surf Shop down in Pacific Beach, I used to go hang out with her. We’d talk about Brian Bilbray attacking the Clean Water Act, Brian Bilbray voting to weaken the Clean Water Act. Then, we realized the city of San Diego was violating the Clean Water Act. So, I worked very hard to get Donna Frye elected. We’ve been supporters and friends for 20 years. She observed firsthand the kind of backdoor deals that I think voters are very discouraged by. I don’t participate in those backroom deals.
La Jolla Light: What do you believe to be your crowing achievements as a member of the state legislature. Lori Saldaña: Energy efficiency and climate change. They’re hand in hand. Being in the legislature in California, you’re in charge of the eighth largest economy in the world. Our Climate Change Act of 2006 changed the way the world looks at air quality. I was coauthor of that bill (AB 32) in my first term as a legislator. In my second term, I introduced a bill (AB 1103) which will be implemented this year that basically puts a value on energy efficiency. It looks at every commercial building in the state of California, every nongovernment, non-residential building, and creates an energy benchmarking level. It’s like when you go to buy a car and you look at miles-per-gallon and then you can choose. Do I want the high-efficiency building that’s going to cost me more … or do I get a cheaper, dirtier building, but then I can invest in it and bring it up (to energy efficiency standards)? The retrofitting is not mandatory. The bill doesn’t require it, but a smart person with an older building that’s not energy efficient will go and hire an architect, will hire a company — and there are many of them in San Diego that specialize in retrofitting older
buildings to be more energy efficient. It’s creating jobs, it’s creating opportunities, and it’s encouraging people to be energy efficient. (The bill) was signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger and had the support of the building industry and others. La Jolla Light: How do you plan to differentiate yourself as a candidate in the 52nd District, where the vote is split almost evenly between Democrats, Republicans and undeclared voters? Lori Saldaña: The 76th Assembly District had a breakdown very similar to the current (52nd congressional) district. It’s about 40 percent Democrat, 35 percent Republican, 25 percent Decline to State. The fastest-growing voter group in the state is Decline to State. I represented them with increasing voter margins for the three times I was elected. In this district, the coastal Decline to State people are highly educated ... They are often entrepreneurs or they work in research, education, the university. … They relate very well to my background as an educator, as someone who has worked on environmental issues, as a presidential appointee, as an environmental policy researcher at UCSD. I think that’s why I did so well, against all odds, in my first go-round. The residents of this community have voted for me seven times in the last seven years.
Over 113,000 people voted for me in my final term. That’s nearly as many people as live in one city council district. I had the most support, because I believe very simply, I kept my word. I could be trusted. La Jolla Light: You’re often labeled as a progressive or member of the left. How do you see yourself politically? Lori Saldaña: Considering that this last year in Congress they have seen more bills renaming post offices than anything of substance, we need some progress in Washington. So, I’m very happy to call myself a progressive, because we need to progress to move our country forward. When I chaired Housing and Community Development, we passed bonds that created thousands of jobs to invest in our communities. That’s progress when you invest in infrastructure, when you maintain infrastructure I was an academic, a researcher, and a university and college teacher before I was elected. Often the people that try to pigeonhole me as an environmentalist, they’re trying to limit my skills and my experience that I bring to this. La Jolla Light: What do you feel are your opponents’ main deficiencies? Lori Saldaña: Look at Brian Bilbray. He

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Accuquest Hearing keeps people connected By Marti Gacioch Accuquest audiologist Charity Herrera, M.A. finds that many patients live in denial of their hearing losses. “Most people coming here think that they’re just getting a general check-up and that their ears are full of wax and that’s why they can’t hear,” Charity Herrera, M.A. said. “Other people come in to prove to the person urging them to get a check-up that they don’t have a problem.” Before Herrera tests and evaluates a patient’s hearing, she spends the first hour of her twohour session shattering the myths of hearing loss and the use of hearCharity Herrera ing aids (or the lack thereof) and educating the patient about ramifications of untreated hearing loss. “Some of those ramifications are as serious as dementia and brain atrophy,” Herrera said. “I give them a clear idea of what’s happening year after year when you go without treating the loss.” An audiologist for 12 years, Herrera received her degree from California State University Los Angeles. She has practiced in San
Diego for seven years and began working for Accuquest last June. “There are many people in the business of selling hearing aids, and the difference between those people and Accuquest, specifically myself, is that I’m really in this business to help people hear better and to help them maintain healthy connections with the people they love,” Herrera said. “When you have a hearing loss, it disables those connections, so I try to mend them.” Herrera said that many patients think that they’re seeing her to purchase a product — like going to a store for a loaf of bread, and other people think they can buy any hearing aid, pop it in their ear, and the problem is solved. “Hearing better is a rehabilitative process that takes time, follow-up and counseling,” Herrera said. “This is not like buying eyeglasses where your vision is immediately corrected because hearing aids are prescriptively fit for different losses and different needs.” Accuquest is at 3252 Holiday Court La Jolla Ste. 208, La Jolla. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and by appointment on Saturdays. (858) 638-7808. On the Web at www.accuquest.net/locations-and-practitioners/group/380-La_Jolla_California.html
Martin Lawrence Galleries host Robert Deyber Martin Lawrence Galleries invites you to meet and be enlightened by artist Robert Deyber’s most recent alluring original paintings and lithographs, at a reception for “Hare He Comes Again,” from 6 to 9 p.m., Friday, Jan. 27, at 1111 Prospect St. Deyber is a visual raconteur — a storyteller with a Robert paintbrush, Deyber his mind’s eye planted deep within the subconscious. With artistic roots that hail from the Surrealist movement, among his heroes are Rene Magritte and Salvator Dali. While many of Deyber’s paintings contain elements derived from dreams created out of the unpredictable imagery found in the subconscious,
‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil,’ handsigned, handcrafted stone lithograph by Robert Deyber. the extraterrestrial flowers have more in common with the worlds of alternate natural history imagined by Alexis Rockman or Walton Ford, and the visual rendition of current phraseology and popular culture are more in the tradition of the Pop Art movement. It is his unique mix of dark humor, subtle social commentary, and skilled brushwork that have made
him a cult favorite. Musician Tom Petty is one of the artist’s champions and commissioned Deyber to create his 2006 album cover for “Highway Companion.” Private and corporate collectors throughout the United States, as well as throughout Europe and Asia have also acquired his work.

www.lajollalight.com From Election, A15 has been in Washington for 14 years and he’s never even chaired a committee. (Congressman) Kevin McCarthy went to Washington in 2006. He is now the third in line behind (House Speaker John) Boehner and (Majority Leader Eric) Cantor. I think if you want leadership in this delegation, I’m the choice. I’ve gone into leadership as a presidential appointee and I went from never having served in elected office to being the speaker pro tem for the assembly of California. I know what it takes to earn the trust of people, and that’s how you become a leader. There is only one legislative level that’s anywhere near federal, and that’s the state of California: tens of millions of people and a $100 billion-plus state budget. If you want to understand the big picture, which you need at the congressional level, I can’t think of a better training ground then serving in the state legislature in California. La Jolla Light: Do you believe in an amnesty program for illegal immigrants? Lori Saldaña: Ronald Regan signed an amnesty bill in 1986. I think Ronald Regan had it right. If people can prove that the only law they’ve broken is a civil law, which is the immigration law, but they are not violent offenders, they haven’t violated any criminal laws, then they should have a path to citizenship. La Jolla Light: Any more thoughts on why you feel you are the best candidate for this job? Lori Saldaña: As an educator I know what it takes to learn, and I stress lifelong learning to my students and I stress it with myself. Surround yourself with smart people. Listen to what they have to say. Look for the ones that have the experience that you don’t have, ask them a lot of questions, and then apply that to your job. That’s what I want to do back in Washington. I had dozens of bills signed by a Republican governor and I’m very confident I can go back and work with anyone in Washington as well as I learned to work with them in Sacramento.

Time extension denied in beach access flap By Dave Schwab After lengthy debate at its Jan. 17 meeting, rekindling controversy over public beach access at Princess Street, La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) voted 4-3 against allowing Ure Kretowicz a time extension to continue processing a coastal development permit for a home remodeling project at 7957 Princess St. Voting to deny the time extension were Cindy Thorsen, Angeles Leira, Mike Costello and Phil Merten. Voting to approve the time extension were Laura Ducharme Conboy, chair Paul Benton and Diane Kane. The committee’s denial of Kretowicz’s request will now be sent to the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), for its consideration. The LJCPA is the local advisory body making land-use recommendations to the city. Controversy has persisted since the late 1970s on two issues with the Kretowicz property — nonconforming uses from improvements

made by previous owners (Kretowicz purchased the property in foreclosure), and a dispute over public access through the property to the beach below that Kretowicz denies. “I don’t think we should give him another three years, which he’ll use to sue the Coastal Commission over historic beach access that should be brought back,” argued Melinda Merryweather, a member of La Jolla’s Parks and Beaches
Committee. A steep path down the bluff to the beach through his property is in disrepair and presently unusable. Kretowicz’s locked gate allows emergency access by lifeguards only. In July 2011, the Coastal Commission voted unanimously to protect the public’s ability to get to the ocean across Kretowicz’s property. The Commission also rejected Kretowicz’s offer to pay $3.3 million to
fund improved access elsewhere on La Jolla beaches. Kretowicz has said he will appeal the Commission’s July 2011 decision in court. He noted at the DPR meeting that all major issues with the Coastal Commission have since been resolved, except for beach access. “No easement exists,” he said. “We’re just saying we need an extension of time so we can have our day in court with the Coastal Commission.”

You can help restore beauty at Children’s Pool Walk GUEST COMMENTARY By Phyllis Minick Treasurer, La Jolla Parks & Beaches, Inc. To participate in the redesign of Coast Boulevard walkway, everyone is welcome to view the fullscale 5x3 ft. plan now on display in the atrium at the La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. This design, from well-known landscape architect Jim Neri, is the product of a community workshop open to all that was held Oct. 1, 2011. The following consensus recommendations resulted from that session. n Pedestrian Flow: Provide a main walkway and secondary walkways focusing on walkers and runners instead of groups. n Seating: Construct double-seat walls similar to the existing turnouts above Shell Beach and Seal Rock to the north. n Seat Wall Location: Move walls inland to limit the amount of code-required guardrail and construct least obstructive guardrail possible using consistent detailing — include lean rail. n Trees: Provide shade trees to soften lifeguard tower without obstructing ocean views.
A more readable version of the blueprint is viewable at the Riford Library. n Gazebo (Belvedere): Repair roof to include bird deterrents and enlarge surrounding walkway. Reduce or eliminate planting areas on top of the bluff in favor of increased walkway widths. n Art: Add discrete interpretive/ historical/educational signage near or on lifeguard station. n Bluffs: Cover exposed areas of bluffs with erosion-controlling, ground-squirrel resistant, native plants. n Vendor Tables: Restrict to a single location and regulate associ-
Time to make La Jolla an independent city In response to the guest commentary in the Jan. 12 issue written by John Bolthouse about the demolition of the Windemere Cottage, I agree! We as a community must stand up and say to the City of San Diego, “I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any more!” I have watched for years with great sadness, the destruction of the history of La Jolla. The City will never care about historic preservation because it makes no money for them. However, we as a community can do something, we can become our own city. This would cost, at the most, $2 million, and after three years, we will re-coop that. We will no longer have to respond to what the City has to say; we will be free like all the great cities! This is not a pipe dream. It is only a matter of money and doing it. All else is in place. We have permission to go if we are willing to go through the process. I know someone is out there who wants to be the founder of the City of La Jolla. If we wait much longer, we may not have much left. We have the ability and chance to create our own destiny. We owe it to The Jewel and it is possible. To learn more, go to independentlajolla.org Melinda Merryweather La Jolla

Our Readers Write La Jolla is forming a subcommittee to press on with their mission of seceding from the City of San Diego. They must have raised the $2 million that was required to accomplish this. That aside, in an e-mail exchange with Ms. Greatrex during the summer of 2011, she indicated that the Independent La Jolla website was being upgraded and updated, and that the 2005 Initial Fiscal Analysis was also being revised and updated prior to the revision being placed on the website. None of these things has happened. I have serious reservations about a group, that can’t even manage their own website, leading the charge on this poorly thought out campaign. The 2005 Fiscal Analysis overestimated potential revenues, and badly underestimated potential expenses, especially for public works items. It doesn’t make any sense to me to become an independent city if that city goes bankrupt in short order. I urge La Jollans everywhere to not support this independent movement and to vote against it, if and when it comes to a ballot issue. Dale S. Duffala Bird Rock
The Whitneys’ view is not accurate In a recent letter published in The Light, Bob and Kim Whitney take potshots at the LJCPA, Phil Merten, and the recent widow of prominent local architect Dale Naegle. What a shame!
plish the Coast Walk project, since this much-needed reconstruction is not included in the City’s plan. The goals are beautification, improved pedestrian access, education and peace. To add suggestions and comments, please contact: n Patrick Ahern, President, La Jolla Parks & Beaches, Inc. at patrickahern@prusd.com or n Phyllis Minick, Chair, LJP&B Beautification Committee at minickphyllis@gmail.com
Apparently the Whitneys don’t believe in the greater good of the community and have little respect for the community planning process. The issue of the alleged violations at the Naegle residence has long been resolved and the Whitneys are aware of this fact. The Whitneys know the City of San Diego has admitted the City was in error when it issued the violation notice. The Whitneys know the City now confirms the Naegles received all required permits and approvals years ago and that their home is not in violation. Yet the Whitneys continue to harass Mrs. Naegle because she and her husband had the nerve to oppose the out-of-character project the Whitneys proposed for La Jolla Shores. Ultimately, the Whitney project was denied, hence the sour grapes. With regard to Floor Area Ratios (FAR), the Whitneys keep harping on use of setbacks rather than FAR in the LJSPDO. They quote Mike Stepner as if he represents the voice of the community. Who is Mike Stepner? Does he live in La Jolla? Is he just a hired gun? The Whitneys must assume circumstances and opinions never change and that community views do not evolve over time. What may have seemed like a good idea 20 years ago might not look so good today. New citywide definitions and regulations have been adopted and have changed the landscape of architectural review. New situations call for new solutions! Phil Merten and the LJCPA are trying to protect and foster our community and I fully support their efforts. Fritz Liebhardt La Jolla

Remembering Roe v. Wade On Jan. 22, we marked the 39th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.

The truth is, no matter what they call themselves or where they align politically, a
Our Readers Write majority of Americans respect the decision each woman must make about her own pregnancy and oppose efforts to overturn Roe. That hasn’t changed in the last four decades. Unfortunately, we’ve seen a small group of antiwomen’s health legislators introduce legislation that would undermine women’s health, not just access to safe abortion care. They have also

OBITUARIES
Constance K. Noah 1926 – 2012
Connie Noah died at home, surrounded by her family, in La Jolla, CA, Saturday, January 21, 2012. She was born March 15, 1926, in Kansas City, MO, to Eugene and Helen Kiger. After graduating from Vassar College, she returned to Kansas City to raise a family with her husband, Richard Wiles Jr. They had three daughters and a son. Connie had loved La Jolla since childhood and moved there in 1968 with her children and second husband, Brooks C. Noah. She served as Las Patronas President from 19731974, and was Jewel Ball Chairman in 1976. Connie began a very successful career in interior design at the age of 50. She was a prolific designer, highly sought after for her unique creativity which spanned all areas of home design, often working from the ground up with architects and builders toward the most intricate of fine finishing touches. She designed furniture for her clients, and together with her husband, Brooks, created a line of chandeliers and fine jewelry, Chanestelle. She felt at home in Italy and its influence was often displayed in her work, which was celebrated in numerous magazines such as Architectural Digest, Veranda, House Beautiful, as well as in several books on design. Her immense grace, elegance, wisdom and ageless beauty will be deeply missed.
Connie was preceded in death by her husband of forty-four years, Brooks Noah, who died September 15, 2011. She also lost her son, Richard E. Wiles III, and her sister, Jeannie Otness. She leaves behind daughters, Wendy Wiles Kase, Robin Wiles and Blair Wiles Milazzo; grandsons, Wiles Kase, Richard Wiles IV, and Cruz Wiles; sister, Susan Davis Thorne; daughter-inlaw, Lisa Wiles; son-in law, Tom Milazzo; stepdaughters, Susan Hensel and Deborah Lawrence; plus numerous nieces and nephews.

Farmers Insurance Open tees off today By Phil Dailey Though the Farmers Insurance Open is the fourth event to start the season on the PGA Tour, it is often the first tour event of the new year for many of the golf world’s top golfers. This year is no different. In total, the 2012 field will include 10 golfers who are past winners of at least one major championship, including San Diego’s own Phil Mickleson, a three-time master’s champion. Other past major winners who will tee off today include Vijay Singh (three majors), Ernie Els (three), Angel Cabrera (two) and one-time major winners Geoff Ogilvy, Trevor Immelman, Keegan Bradley, Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard and David Duval. Other notable golfers playing in this year’s event include Robert Garrigus and John Mallinger, both finished the 2011 season ranked in the top 10 of the FedExCup standings and the PGA Tour Money List. And of course, last year’s Farmers Insurance Open winner Bubba Watson is back to defend his title. Watson won last season’s tournament with a 16-under, beating Mickelson by one stroke. Mickelson is a three-time winner of the event and will be joined this season by two other past winners Nick Watney and Ben Crane.
BY THE NUMBERS 4: Past winners of the Farmers Insurance Open in this year’s field. The short list includes Phil Mickleson, defending champ Bubba Watson, Nick Watney and Ben Crane. 15: The number of nations represented. There are players from all over the world at this year’s event, including 12 from Australia, five from Korea and three each from Argentina and Sweden. Bubba Watson

Where’s Tiger?
Many golf fans will wonder where Tigers Woods is this week. The answer: He’s playing in Abu Dhabi’s HSBC Golf Championship. Woods generally begins his season at the Torrey Pines event and is a seventime winner. He also won the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. The course is a familiar one to say the least for Woods, but he opted to begin his season in the U.S. next month at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, which starts Feb. 9.
Compton, Hurley take unique paths to La Jolla Nearly every player on the PGA Tour has a story worth telling, but this week there are two golfers in particular who certainly have made it to the highest level of golf taking the road less traveled. Erik Compton earned his rookie PGA Tour card last season after finishing No. 13 on the Nationwide Tour
money list, but the 32-year-old’s journey to the Torrey Pines might not have happened had he not picked up golf as a 15-yearold as part of his rehabilitation to his first heart transplant. He had a second heart transplant in 2007. In his first tournament this season, he finished tied for 59th at the Sony Open.
Another interesting golfer to keep an eye on is rookie Billy Hurley. Hurley finished 25th last season in the Nationwide standings and now is the first Naval Academy graduate to have earned a PGA Card. Hurley served part of his five-year commitment to the Navy aboard the USS Chung-Hoon.

UCSD’s Gaito among ‘Stars of the Year’ Camille Gaito of the defending national champion UC San Diego softball team will be one of 16 professional and amateur athletes to be honored as Stars of the Year at the annual Salute to the Champions banquet Feb. 15 at the Town and Country Convention Center, hosted by the San Diego Hall of Champions. The SDHOC is an undisputed national leader in recognition of amateur, collegiate and professional sports excellence; youth sports-based education; and sports memorabilia exhibition. The Hall was founded in 1946 to recognize significant achievement in San Diego. Each year, the SDHOC honors those athletes from greater San Diego who provide a significant contribution in the athletic arena. Camille Gaito All-Pro defensive back Eric Weddle of the San Diego Chargers and San Diego Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin top a list of eight professional athletes who will be honored for their efforts in 2011 at the 66th annual Salute. Weddle earned an invitation to the Pro Bowl while Maybin was named the team’s top player by the local Baseball Writers Association. Joining the two are Arian Foster, the former Mission Bay High standout who led the Houston Texans to their first-ever playoff win; snow- and skateboarder supreme Shaun White, who dominated the X-Games; Eastlake
High grad Adrian Gonzalez, who finished second in the American League batting chase with a .338 average for the Boston Red Sox; Rachel Buehler, who led the U.S. soccer team to a second-place finish in the Women’s World Cup; Dominick Cruz, who twice defended his Mixed Martial Arts crown; and J.J. Killeen, who captured the Nationwide Golf Tour in 2011. Amateurs who will be in the spotlight include Gaito, San Diego State’s record-setting running back Ronnie Hillman; Suzanne Cornwell, who led Cal State San Marcos to the NAIA women’s cross country title; Natalie Hagglund, the La Costa Canyon grad who was the standout libero for the USC Trojans; Stephanie Ochs, who was selected the West Coast Conference Player of the Year in soccer for USD; Kawhi Leonard, who lifted San Diego State into the Sweet 16 before turning pro in basketball; Charles Jock, the exMission Bay runner who finished second in the nation in the 800-meter run and Point Loma Nazarene’s Erica Wessels, an NAIA All-American in soccer. As for Gaito, she put together a stellar year in 2011, setting a school record with 35 wins while helping the Tritons to their first-ever NCAA Division II national championship. The senior pitcher from San Rafael, Calif. went 9-0 during UCSD’s postseason run and she currently holds the school-record for career victories (65). In addition, Gaito was one of 16 UCSD athletes to earn the Star of the Month distinction by the Hall of Champions in 2011.

San Diego State continues climb in both major polls The San Diego State men’s basketball team moved up three positions in the AP Top 25 poll and four spots in the ESPN/ USA Today Coaches poll. The Aztecs are ranked 13th in the AP and 12th in the coaches’ poll, released on Monday. San Diego State improved to 17-2 on the season last Saturday with a 57-44 victory against Air Force at a sold-out Viejas Arena. The Aztecs have won 10 straight games, which is the sixth-longest active streak in the country (through Sunday’s games) and is the third-longest winning streak in school history. So far this season, SDSU has defeated three nationally ranked teams (at Arizona, vs. California, vs. UNLV), two teams predicted to finish atop the Big West (vs. Long Beach State, at UC Santa Barbara) and 2011 NCAA Tournament participant USC. The Aztecs haven’t suffered a setback since Nov. 30 and their two losses have come to No. 6/7 (AP/ Coaches) Baylor and No. 15/14 Creighton.
UCSD women ranked No. 1, beat Humboldt State at home Daisy Feder scored 20 points to lead four players in double figures as the No. 1 UC San Diego women’s basketball team blew by California Collegiate Athletic Association rival Humboldt State, 74-49, last weekend at RIMAC Arena. The Tritons outscored the Lumberjacks 35-11 over the final 14 and a half minutes of the second half to wrap up their four-game homestand with a bang and remain undefeated on the season. UCSD shot 46% from the field in the second stanza and dropped 6-of-10 from behind the threepoint line en route to another comfortable victory. UCSD, which set the program record for consecutive victories with its 73-57 triumph over Sonoma State on Friday, improves to 18-0 overall and 12-0 in CCAA play with the win. The Tritons have now won 21 of their last 22 regular season games dating back to last season. The Tritons will hit the road traveling to Cal Poly Pomona tonight and San Francisco State on Saturday.
Tritons picked to finish second in water polo 2011 Western Water Polo Association champion UC San Diego was picked to finish runner-up to perennial favorite Loyola Marymount in the 2012 WWPA Preseason Coaches’ Poll, it was announced Monday. LMU received 62 total points and six first-place votes, becoming the favorite to win its ninth WWPA title in 12 years. The Tritons garnered three first-place votes and 59 points. UCSD topped LMU 13-11 to win the WWPA title and earn the school’s first appearance at the NCAA National Championships last season. “I think it’s a true sign of respect from the other coaches in this conference to hold us in such high regards, especially with the talent that our conference has,” UCSD head coach Brad Kreutzkamp said.

Scientist Barbara Sawrey earns a leadership role in the world of chemistry Barbara Sawrey, the eldest of nine children, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and grew up in Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York. She received her bachelor’s degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, then worked as an industrial flavor and fragrance chemist before returning to graduate school. She earned her Ph.D. in chemistry jointly from UC San Diego and SDSU. She has been a faculty member at UCSD in the Department of Chemistry & BioBarbara Sawrey chemistry since 1984, and currently serves the campus as Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education. Sawrey is a member of Board of Governors of The San Diego Foundation. Members of the American Chemical Society, the largest scientific organization in the world, recently elected her to the Board of Directors. What brought you to La Jolla? The Navy brought me to San Diego County in 1978. I was married to a Naval officer who was stationed at NAS North Island. Later, I moved to La Jolla to be closer to the UCSD campus. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? There is so much! Recurring themes in this column are improved parking in the Village and better traffic flow at the Hidden Valley/Torrey Pines/La Jolla Parkway intersection. These are worthy wishes, but my vote would be to have people exercise more caution when driving up and down the roads on Mt. Soledad — particularly along Via Capri.

TRUE OR FALSE? The Frenchman Louis Lumiere is credited as inventing the first motion picture camera in 1895. True, though several others made similar inventions around the same time. What Lumiere invented was a portable motionpicture camera, film processing unit and projector called the Cinematographe — three functions covered in one invention. In 1895, he and his brother were the first to project, moving photographic pictures to a paying audience of more than one person. In 1891, the Edison Company demonstrated the Kinetoscope, which enabled one person at a time to view moving pictures. Later in 1896, Edison showed his improved Vitascope projector, and it was the first commercially successful projector in the United States. — wikipedia
CHECK OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING The Sacred and the Profane in Art: From the Greeks to the Renaissance Tuesdays, January 31 and February 7, 14, 2012 The lectures will contrast the art and architecture of the ancient Greeks and the Greek emphasis on humanism and secularism with the Byzantine Christian world, an age marked by art of great, glittering beauty and insubstantial otherworldliness. This will then yield to the Renaissance and the resurrection of the humanism of ancient Greece after a thousand-year interregnum.

Feast on fantastic fare with an ocean view at Flavor Del Mar By Kelley Carlson visit to Flavor Del Mar serves as a feast for the senses. For starters, the California contemporary cuisine is uncomplicated, yet is concocted to delight the taste buds. “The chef uses few ingredients on the plate, but creates innovative combinations that are delicious,” assistant general manager Gabrielle Clift said. “They’re not fussy and not over sauced; they’re simple, clean and fresh.” The restaurant’s interior, and its views from the third floor of the Del Mar Plaza, are certainly easy on the eyes. The ocean can be seen from every table. “There isn’t one bad seat in the house,” Clift said. “The sunset views here are amazing.” The marine theme is reflected in Flavor’s decor, featuring varying shades of white, green and blue. At the bar, there is cerulean-hued glass simulating waves. While guests can’t hear the crashing surf, they can tune in to sounds from the ’80s and today’s Top 40 hits during the lunch hour. The tempo picks up at dinner, becoming more “clubby” and electronic, and a disc jockey plays dance music from 8 p.m. to close Fridays with no cover charge. For the ultimate Flavor experience, Clift recommends arriving during happy hour and munching on Pickled Potatoes, a play on salt-and-vinegar chips that is served with a side of crème fraiche and chives. “It’s the perfect thing to snack on with a cocktail in hand at the bar,” Clift said. Make sure to have an early reservation on the glass-enclosed, temperaturecontrolled patio in order to watch the sun

dip below the horizon — the dinner rush usually picks up around 6 p.m. and quiets back down at 8 p.m. Whether you’re sitting by a window or the cozy fireplace, arrive with enough of an appetite to sample several courses. Share a Tuna Crisp topped with red onion, shiso and white truffle oil. Or open the meal with Scallop Ceviche, a Pear Salad or a Foie Gras Doughnut. For the main course, try the Maine Diver Scallops with potato two ways, cauliflower, wild mushrooms and Meyer lemon. For a “meatier” entree, there’s Braised Prime Beef Short Rib, with potato puree, quail egg ravioli, gingered carrots, onion chip and natural jus. Children may select from items such as beef sliders and pasta with butter and cheese. Next, savor the Butterscotch Budino, an Italian pudding with crème fraiche,
caramel and Maldon sea salt. Finish the night off around the corner at Flavor’s wine bar, Sip, with a glass of port and a cheese platter, sampling from up to 25 artisanal varieties. There are more than 40 wines by the glass to choose from and two large community tables designed for interaction with other guests. Sip is open from 4:30 p.m. to close Sunday through Friday and from noon to close Saturday. Wine tastings are held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturdays, with different regions and producers highlighted each week; it’s $10 for eight selections. The same bar menu is served at Sip as Flavor, and all specials apply to both sites. On Mondays, a trio of Niman Ranch Beef Sliders and any beer is offered for $15; Wednesdays is half-off suggested wines by the bottle; and Sparkling Sundays features 50-percent off sparkling wine by the bottle.

FROM STREET NAMES, B1 composer who is credited with the discovery of Uranus and two of its moons. Ictinus Avenue, the former Garfield, and now Ivanhoe, was named after the architect of the Parthenon. Jenner Street, the former Franklyn Place, was named after either Edward Jenner (1749-1823), English physician and discoverer of vaccinations (including smallpox), or Sir William Jenner (18151898), also an English physician and pathological anatomist. According to Randolph, some of these names “proved a little too high-brow, even for La Jolla. “Perhaps Ictinus and Agassiz were not always easy to pronounce — and spell,” he posits. In August 1913, Ictinus Avenue became Ivanhoe, with more name changes occurring in December of that year. Agassiz became Olivetas; Borden became La Jolla Boulevard; Connecticut became Silverado; Boulevard became Coast Boulevard; and State Street was changed to Torrey Pines Road.

However, that name also had been used, prompting its rebirth as Virginia Way, in honor of Virginia Scripps, half-sister of Ellen Browning Scripps. Name of the Lane In San Diego, La Jolla also has the distinction of refer-
ring to its alleyways as “lanes.” “Again, I think that’s an Ellen Browning Scripps inspiration because she was from Great Britain and, of course, in Britain you have lanes,” Olten said, noting several of their mellifluous titles, including Roslyn Lane, Bluebird Lane and Drury Lane, which takes its name from the theatrical
group, Drury Lane Players. In August, 2008, the formerly undesignated alley between Eads and Draper avenues beginning at Silver Street was christened Mabel Bell Lane, in honor of the late Mabel Bell, a pioneer of La Jolla’s early black community who resided at the site of the La Jolla post office annex on Silver Street.

plishing that feat make him think twice. Millán (“Don Quixote,” Broadway’s “The Wild Party”), who has performed at OSF since 2005, said he found everything about the script appealing and grabbed the role of Juan in the original production. “When I heard this play was the first play of the ‘American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle’ by the OSF, I was excited,” Millán said. “I’m a huge fan of history; it was my major at the University of Redlands. I was also thrilled that it was part of Culture Clash, as I’ve always wanted to work with Richard, Rick and Herb.” Millán feels this is his story, too. HeNINE-TEN grew upLJinLight the VDay

I heard their stories, and like Juan in this play, they were just trying to better themselves and make things better for their families.” As the script moves along, the night before Juan must take the U.S. nationalization test he’s pouring over the 100 flash cards and the citizen almanac booklet given him to study. He’s under pressure to get his wife and child out of the dangerous situations in Mexico. “He’s feverously cramming and nervous about not passing the exam and he falls asleep,” Millán said. “Then he begins to dream and finds himself caught up in different events in American history. Some are good, but others are quite ugly. He begins to question if he wants to even become a citizen and if he should go back to Mexico.” The cast includes: Stephanie Beatriz (Lydia/ Ensemble); Rodney Gardiner (Ben Pettus/Ensemble); David Kelly (Harry Bridges/ Ensemble); Terri McMahon (Mrs. Finney/Ensemble); Culture Clash founder/ member Richard Montoya (Juan José the First/ Ensemble); Kimberly Scott (Viola Pettus/Ensemble); Culture Clash founder/ member Herbert Siguenza (Neil Diamante/Ensemble) and Daisuke Tsuji (Johnny/ Ensemble).

Beware of what you wish for
Let Inga tell you ...
I
couldn’t help but notice that Olof and I seem to have completely switched roles from our first marriages. In Olof’s first marriage, his one misgiving about his wife is that she came from a background where communication was never done directly. Trying to figure out what she wanted always felt like a jigsaw puzzle to which he seemed to be perpetually missing the edge pieces, and the big flower piece in the middle as well. Over time, he learned to read cues, pick up on nuances, and fine-tune his intuitive skills. After they divorced, he told himself that if he ever married again it would be with someone with more direct communication skills. Come back wife with poor communication skills. All is forgiven. Olof, who is never ever mean, has occasionally suggested in the nicest possible way that he has not a single teeny-weeny doubt about how I ever feel about anything, including and especially about him. Fortunately, 99 percent of what I feel about him is hugely positive. He’s just the funniest, kindest, most generous guy you can imagine. It’s his insane death-defying work hours that keep
him from a 100 percent approval rating. “Olof,” I keep saying, “No one our age, which is to say, your age, can work the hours you do and hope to live to retirement.” He does seem slow to get this message. Olof, for his part, says that it is too frightening to imagine that I was considered the neat one in my former marriage. And equally incomprehensible to imagine is me as the quieter one. I don’t want to start any fights with my former husband who lives locally and with whom I get along well. But my ex could be a taddy bit directive (and by his own admission, a total slob, although he preferred the word “casual”); he genuinely wanted to help me realize my potential. Olof, on the other hand, has always assumed I was as good as I was ever going to get. In Olof’s and my marriage, ironically, I’m usually the one trying to figure what Olof is thinking. He will never offer an opinion about anything personal unless asked. Nay, begged. No, implored. He’s never said so but I think from his viewpoint, offering solicited or unsolicited opinions about any aspect of a wife is a minefield to be avoided at all costs. He can visualize the grenades imploding on the serenity of his personal life, the conflagration of hard-earned husband points, even though I maintain I am never ever vindictive. (Well, not towards him, anyway.) He, the former communicative one, confesses he has

a hard time seeing himself as the less communicative one. And as for me being the “neat” one in my former marriage, he says if he were our former cleaning lady, he would have shot himself. I have endlessly tried to assure him I wouldn’t ask his opinion if I didn’t really want to hear it. I value his opinion more than anyone’s so if I ask him if I screwed up in a certain situation, I genuinely want to know his
view. Even if it is totally wrong. Even if any sane individual could see that I was right and the other party was an irrational numnut. Olof denies it, but there are times I could swear I hear him muttering under his breath: “Beware of what you wish for.” — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

Cast finds laughs in greedy, grubbing heirs ‘Dividing the Estate’
Let’s Review
By diana Saenger
S
ibling rivalries rarely reach fever pitch more than when learning what they will inherit from their next of kin. That’s the theme of Horton Foote’s 2009 Tony Award-winning Best Play, “Dividing the Estate,” making its West Coast premiere at The Old Globe Theatre.
The more Horton’s rich characters tussle over their estate, the more the humor in the circumstances is elevated. Superbly directed by Michael Wilson, “Dividing the Estate” does a great job of presenting a sobering reality to all who see it, but also in tickling their funny bones. Gazing at the impressive set designed by Jeff Cowie before the play begins reveals the lavish Gordon home of matriarch Stella (Elizabeth Ashley). In the stunning residence that even Scarlett O’Hara would be proud to descend the stairs in every item from the chairs to the chandeliers tells the story of this family about to fight over the estate.

Throughout the play Son is the mildmannered peacemaker to a point, but it’s Lewis’ almost insufferable antics that irate Stella and his sister Lucille (Penny Fuller) to no end. Lewis is a standout in his portrayal and why wouldn’t he be, he’s Horton Foot, Jr., the son of the playwright, making his return to the stage after 17 years. He’s joined by his sister, Hallie Foote, who received a Tony Award as Best Actress in the 2009 Broadway production of “Dividing the Estate.” She plays Mary Jo, Lewis’ sister who is manipulated by her strong-willed, but obviously unsuccessful, Realtor husband Bob (James

DeMorse). The couple is ecstatic thinking they will get a huge sum from the estate when Stella finally passes, but Bob becomes a run-away locomotive, full-steam filling the air, when that may not happen. From the first words Stella speaks, it’s apparent Ashley will provide the powerhouse performance that glues these characters together. That’s not a surprise since her awards and her stage, film and TV credits fill nearly a full page in the program. Robinson (“Joe Turner’s Come and Gone”) plays the 92-year-old butler whose hands shake so badly his coworkers insist he is unable to serve the big family din-
ner. But Stella overrides their concern. Robinson is brilliant in this role, heightening the humor in Horton’s well-written character. Other cast members layer the hilarity in their roles in situations many audience members have or will experience. The perky Kelly McAndrew plays Son’s fiancée, Pauline, who irritates Stella every time she spouts some new statistic from her teacher-mind. Fuller is the perfect foil for Lewis, as a timid but earnest daughter, sister and mother to Son, who just wants everyone to get along. Mary Jo and Bob’s daughters, Emily (Jenny Dare Paulin) and Sissie (Nicole Lowrance), are spitting images of today’s spoiled Hollywood teens. Irene (Bree Welch) brings much levity to her short entrance into the Gordon home, and Keiana Richard plays a feisty kitchen worker alongside her boss, Mildred, wonderfully portrayed by Pat Bowie. With a voice and zany personality of a Wanda Sykes Hall, Bowie steals every scene she’s in.

Unique premiere of ‘The Sneetches’ is Symphony tribute to Audrey Geisel
T
he San Diego Symphony honored Audrey Geisel for her long-time support of the arts at the West Coast premiere of “The Sneetches,” a work for narrator and orchestra by Spanish composer Lorenzo Palomo, Jan. 17 at the Neurosciences Institute Auditorium. The Sneetch story, by her husband, the late Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), explores the folly of prejudice — some Sneetches have a green star on their bellies, and some of them don’t — and the narrow-mindedness that results, inviting more foolishness. The composition was commissioned for the Rochester (New York) Philharmonic by physician Sid Sobel, and will have its “official” premiere there in the spring of 2012. Some 350 friends and associates attended the special event in La Jolla, which included a family-friendly reception and a performance by the Symphony’s brass quintet followed by “The Sneetches” for two pianos (performed by Jessie Chang and Bryan Verhoye, with narration by Nuvi Mehta), and a post-concert Champagne toast.

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 to brainstorm issues, and solve problems in a collaborative way. But since people are not necessarily good judges of how they are perceived, I could be far off base. I have been told I am smilingly obstinate. What inspires you? The commitment of the UCSD faculty and staff to serving our students and higher education is very inspiring. And my spirits never fail to be lifted by the beautiful views from around town, even when I am carrying out the most mundane chore.

Morhous, a New Yorker living and creating in San Diego, has received international acclaim for her sculptures.

COURTESY
What is your mostprized possession? Most material items can be replaced, but I would say my home is my most prized possession. The location and structure of my home
suit me well, and I have a lovely Eastern mountain view to keep me calm. Of course, maybe I should highlight the ticket stub I have from Trevor Hoffman’s 500th save instead. What do you do for fun? I enjoy our local theaters and opera immensely. We are extremely fortunate to have many cultural choices in San Diego. One other special pastime of mine is driving and walking the older neighborhoods of San Diego. There is much interesting variety in the charm and in the architectural styles. Describe your greatest accomplishment. My two awards for mentoring women in the chemical sciences. One award is from the American Chemical Society, and the other is from our local
Athena, San Diego. I have enjoyed mentoring students, and thereby returning the favor granted to me by the many mentors I have had – the women who blazed the way in chemistry, and the male chemists who supported them and me. What is your biggest extravagance? I make an annual pilgrimage to Arizona to see the Padres in Spring Training, and I share Padres season tickets with a group of campus friends and colleagues. What is your philosophy of life? My outlook on life reflects my scientific views — be observant and curious, ask questions, and look for patterns and relationships in what you learn. I am never bored.

PET CONNECTION While he absolutely loves spending quality time with his companions, Baboo is also very comfortable spending time alone. He could be a bit shy at first, but he really comes out of his shell once he becomes more familiar with his environment. Even though Baboo doesn’t always like to be petted, he has a really big heart! He will do well in a variety of homes, but would prefer a home without young children. During our My Furry Valentine Promotion, from January 14th through February 14th of 2012, Baboo’s adoption fee is only $14 and includes his neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, and a certificate for a free veterinary exam!

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JANUARY 26, 2012 - Page B23
Community service drives OPEN HOMES THIS WEEKEND Realtor Frances Robbins Prudential California Realty agent Frances Robbins recently volunteered for Mary, Star of the Sea Elementary School’s annual Jog-AThon fundraiser in Oceanside. The event brings families and military personnel together to strengthen community ties, promote physical fitness and raise funds for the school. During the event, more than 300 children ran laps for one hour alongside their families, peace officers, paramedics, firefighters, and active military. Robbins was responsible for securing the special guest speaker, Chris Lawrence, an Iraq combat veteran who received a Purple Heart for losing his right leg below the knee to an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). An outreach specialist for the Veterans Village of San Diego, Lawrence competes in triathlons, plays flag football and enjoys cycling for long distances. He retired from the Marine Corps in 2009 after serving for five years and earning the rank of Sergeant. “It was really heartwarming to hear Chris talk about all of his experiences,” said Robbins, who also volunteers for the Boys and Girls Club of Vista. “The reason that I love working in real estate is the same as the reason I love volunteer work. I love helping other people achieve their goals.” Robbins began her career in real estate as a sales and marketing coordinator for a new
A scene from the event homebuilder in Carlsbad after graduating from California State San Marcos. In recognition of her natural talent for sales and proficiency with marketing, she was tasked with opening five new communities in Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. Since then Robbins has worked with a number of high-profile clients, including Kovach Marketing, Shea Homes and Lennar; she has also worked as a marketing specialist for several of Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla’s top agents. Reach Robbins at (760) 271-5349, or FrancesR@prusd.com
