By Pat Sherman ocal churches and faith-based organizations are working diligently to answer requests from those in need this holiday season, in the midst of an economic downturn that shows few signs of recovery. At St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church on Prospect Street, requests for financial aid or other assistance are rolling in on a daily basis. “We get everything from, ‘Do you have any shoes?’ to requests for bus passes and tokens,” said Sue Adams, the church’s minister of communications and programs. “Our most recent person wanted $100 for travel to be with her daughter, who I guess was dying.” St. James belongs to a coalition of La Jolla churches that meets on a quarterly basis

By Pat Sherman While friends and family belly up to the eggnog bowl, La Jolla’s emergency services personnel remain on the clock, responding to every Christmas feast casualty and Griswoldstyle decorating misstep. Davis Cracroft, a La Jolla resident and medical director of Scripps Mercy Hospital in Hillcrest, has spent numerous holidays patching up people who never quite finished trimming their trees. “People fall off ladders or their roof when they’re trying to put up lights and Christmas decorations,” Cracroft said. “That can lead to significant injuries and will definitely put a crimp in your holiday spirit.” In addition, the flurry of culinary preparations — especially when libations are involved — can land ambitious hosts in the ER, with everything from cuts to burns. “Julia Child could do it,” Cracroft said, “but not everyone can.” See holiday, a4

From Holiday, a1 At La Jolla’s Fire Station 9, captain and paramedic Kevin McWalters recalled once rescuing an ersatz Santa Claus from his rooftop. “He spent an hour and a half trying to get down before a neighbor saw him and called us,” McWalters said. Charles O’Connell, a resident physician at UCSD Medical Center, recalled what he considers a “New Year’s toast gone bad” — when someone broke a Champagne bottle over someone’s face, causing an orbital fracture and eye injury. “New Year’s Eve is kind of a different animal,” he said. “We call it amateur hour because you have a lot of people who don’t tend to drink much who come in for intoxication.” As the temperature dips, there is also a “higher risk of respiratory infections and flulike illnesses,” Cracroft said. However, temperatures can also reach a boiling point when families get together and rehash old wounds, leading to an increase in domestic violence. “It’s a wonderful time of year if you’ve got good family dynamics,” Cracroft said. The bounty of fat, sugar and sodium laden dishes alone can be trouble for people with chronic medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, diabetes and gallbladder dis-
Ellen Turnley greets patients and visitors at Scripps memorial Hospital in la Jolla. Pat Sherman Photo mas and New Year’s Eve isn’t significantly higher than at other times, Cracroft said local ER staff is prepared to handle a potential surge. “Overall, we have to staff up with both doctors and nurses in order to meet the demand at local emergency departments,” including Scripps Memorial and Scripps Green hospitals in La Jolla, he said. “There’s more traffic out there and, unfortunately, alcohol consumption can influence traffic accidents.” Firefighters at La Jolla’s Station 9 — the bulk of whose holiday calls are related to drunk-driving accidents and fires started by heaters,
ease. “I worked Thanksgiving and … we actually had a big post-holiday rush,” O’Connell said, noting that people often postpone treatment until after the festivities. “A lot of people kind of fall apart over the holidays,” he said. “I’ve seen some people get into a real tight bind because they put things off and then they’re way behind the eight ball. If there’s truly an emergency or an emerging need to be seen by a physician, do not put that off because of a calendar day.” Though the amount of patients seeking emergency care on Christ-
fireplaces or faulty Christmas lights — work 24-hour shifts, receiving overtime pay for the first half of their shift. “Those are unfortunate calls for us,” said McWalters, who will have his first Christmas off in three years this month. “A dry Christmas tree doesn’t take a whole lot to sustain ignition.” At Station 9, firefighters offset such tragedy by inviting their families to the station for an early evening Christmas dinner. ER staff may request holidays off, though if there are not enough charitable souls volunteering to work — or in need of holiday overtime pay — those with seniority typically receive priority. “Within the residents we try to divvy it up fairly, between Thanksgiving, New Year’s and Christmas, so at least you have one of those days off,” O’Connell said. “It does get a little lonely when you see everyone is at home with their families and friends celebrating,” he said, “but we have a nice kind of surrogate family here among the staff, including nurses, technicians, myself and fellow doctors. We bring a potluck dinner that we all eat out of the staff lounge.” Scripps’ ER staff muster the same feeling of camaraderie during the holidays, Cracroft said. “We all recognize that we’d rather be at home with our friends or fami-
lies, but in all the ERs I’ve worked in, everyone really pulls together. We try and make the most of it and, generally, food is the best way to ease the pain.” Though the average wait time at Scripps emergency rooms is 30 minutes or less, Cracroft advises patients to take advantage of any extended holiday hours offered by their own physicians. “A lot of doctors this time a year will add after-hours times to see patients,” he said. “If you’re not critically or seriously ill, that’s always encouraged, just to keep the loads down on ER departments.” However, if walking into the ER with salmonella symptoms from a bad batch of eggnog or delivering a child with lacerations from toy packaging (a common occurrence), Cracroft advises patients to remember that there is a “prioritization of patients,” and that those in the most critical condition are seen first. Cracroft’s pet peeve during the holidays — beyond people demanding costly antibiotics for viral respiratory infections (which he says don’t work) — is dealing with intoxicated or belligerent patients. “I don’t necessarily enjoy those patients, but I also understand that sometimes there are other stresses behind that,” he said. “The good news is that most of them, once they’re sobered up, are very decent human beings.”

Across the street, another neighbor reported his mailbox was completely torn out of the bolts and left on the ground. Also stolen in the neighborhood were red, “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here” yard signs.
Burglary Prevention Tips: • Make sure ALL doors and windows are secured before leaving. • When you’re going to be gone, leave your TV and/ or radio on to make your home appear occupied. • Use a secondary blocking device on all sliding-glass doors, such as locking pin, Charlie bar, or wood/metal rod. • Use highly visible alarm decals or a “Beware of Dog” decal (even if you do not have either). • Keep shrubbery trimmed back so no one can hide behind it. • If you’re going to be gone at night, make sure your porch lights are on. • Keep a written record of the serial numbers on all high-dollar items.

From Helping, A1 to discuss the resources each congregation has at its disposal. St. James has charitable and medical funds that its parishioners can contribute to, which helps fulfill requests on a case-by-case basis. A person seeking assistance from St. James typically meets with a pastor, who assesses the need and decides whether to offer assistance or refer the person to a nonprofit organization or city-run program that is better equipped to deal with their situation. A person does not have to be a parishioner or member to receive assistance. “We don’t really question them too much,” Adams said. “We just try to answer the need.” The first Sunday of the month, St. James parishioners make bags of nonperishable food for the homeless that they keep in their cars and distribute throughout the month. Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church on Girard Avenue does most of its charitable work through the nonprofit, So Others May Eat, Inc. Parishioners help the agency organize a free hot meal the second Tuesday of the month, which feeds between 200 and 250 people. The organization also runs a food pantry at Mary, Star of the Sea, and provides necessities such as clothing and sleeping bags. “Father Jim (Rafferty) has just been amazing by allowing us to use the space,” said Tresha Souza, the founder of So Others May Eat. On Dec. 16, Souza’s agency hosted its second annual Christmas dinner at Mary, Star of the Sea, in which more than 175 attendees — from the itinerant to the recently unemployed — were granted one item on their holiday wish list, from comforters to electric toothbrushes. When it comes to financial requests, Mary, Star of the Sea is discerning, as con artists have been known to take advantage of a church’s spiritual calling to help the poor. Father Rafferty took a call twice from a person claiming to be the single father of two sons, who said he was recently evicted from his La Jolla apartment. After giving the man almost $200, however, Rafferty said there were no signs of him having any dependents.
“I try not to be jaded,” Rafferty said, “but I’m 39 years ordained and I’ve heard a lot of the stories. Some are kind of players. Each time I let (the person) know that I recognize them from before. I’m very careful.” At La Jolla Lutheran on La Jolla Boulevard, Pastor Mark Dahle is also wary of people seeking a quick buck. “If somebody shows up at the door hungry, we have cans of food for them, but if somebody’s asking for money, we want to know the person,” said Dahle, whose church is getting an average of two requests per day for assistance. “Sometimes cash is what they say they want, but it’s usually not what they need.” Though Torrey Pines Christian Church on La Jolla Scenic Drive doesn’t receive many walk-in requests, the church ramps up its charitable efforts during the holidays, raising money for the Veterans Village winter shelter in San Diego and organizing a party for homeless teens and young adults. Adams said the focus at St. James by-the-Sea is on long-term solutions. “I would say that we’re working toward not just the temporary fix, but trying to make sure there’s an agency that’s helping them for the long-term,” she said. At La Jolla’s Chabad Jewish Center, Rabbi Baruch Ezagui said he has seen “people of great affluence” who are now living a “bare bones” existence. “Even in La Jolla there are people who need bare necessities,” he said. “The people who can give are reluctant to help because of the uncertainty of tomorrow, and the people who need help most are ashamed to ask.” In honor of Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, Ezagui referenced a saying from the Torah, which means even a little light can illuminate a great darkness. He hopes this message will strengthen the Chabad Center’s local and international outreach. “When we have the attitude that tomorrow will be better, it allows people to rise above their imminent needs and see how they can help others,” he said.

Shores Association approves downsized sewer project By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com A significantly downsized storm drain, sewer and water replacement project, which La Jolla Shores merchants feared would put them out of business, was endorsed by the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) last week. The vote was 10-1 with Nanci Kirk, owner of Papalulu’s at the Shores Restaurant, dissenting. City officials said the work is required because of frequent flooding caused by undersized storm drains on Avenida De La Playa, which feed directly into the ocean posing a pollution threat to the Area of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) offshore.
Bill Harris of the city’s Storm Water Division gave a presentation at the group’s Dec. 14 meeting describing the revised Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement as “shorter in length, smaller in scale, and one that is going to allow us to work with the community to bring down the impacts.” As originally proposed, the $3.6 million project would have replaced 1,300 feet of storm drain, 1,200 feet of sewer, and 150 feet of water line and the (ocean) outfall structure in the Shores working block-byblock in four phases beginning at the beach and working back toward La Jolla Shores Drive, in September 2012.
Merchants complained the large-scale disruption to the commercial strip would be intolerable. As currently planned, the first phase of the project will replace and realign 650 linear feet of existing storm drain and include upgrading the outfall structure, as well as installing low flow diversion and trash collector systems upstream. Some LJSA board members and residents have joined in a construction mitigation advisory group that has been meeting with the city to explore ways to mitigate the impacts of infrastructure replacement on the business district.
One member, Tim Lucas, said of the city’s new plan, “It’s a pretty good design compromise. They listened to the merchants, did not do the segment in front of the businesses now.” But not everyone was sold on the city’s concept. “I still disagree on the mechanics,” said Martin Mosier, longtime Shores property manager. “Water will continue to come down the street. Do we really need to spend this money?” The revamped project will next be heard by the La Jolla Community Planning Association at a date to be determined.

Results Women Can Live With Women suffering from osteoporosis can take steps – literally – to protect themselves from bone fractures and extend their lives. Research from the Oulu Deaconess Institute in Finland indicates that regular exercise can help older women with thinning bones to improve their balance & walking speed and decrease their risk of fractures. The researchers found that just 20 minutes of at-home daily exercise (interspersed with six months per year of supervised weekly training) helped increase gait stability and cut the risk of fracture by 32% over the course of the 5 year study. Exercise can also help seniors to avert declines in strength and stability that could impair their ability to perform the common tasks of daily living.

In order to avoid injury, osteoporosis sufferers should consult a physical therapist to learn proper technique before starting an exercise program. At Ability Rehab, we have extensive experience working with osteoporosis.We will develop a custom-tailored plan that involves weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, and strengthening exercises, such as weight lifting. In addition, we will utilize balance exercises/techniques to improve proprioception, reaction times and stability.

Village merchants ready the rollout of new ad campaign and website By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com The Gem has a new logo, slogan and website debuting in January, thanks to the efforts of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA). Robert Lane of the group’s promotion committee, presented a preview of “La Jolla: Take It In,� at the association’s Dec. 14 meeting at the Cuvier Club. The LJVMA consists of nearly 1,250 businesses in a 30-block area around the Village. Each pays a tax to the district with its business license fee, and the association contracts with the city to run the district. Formed earlier this year, the LJVMA has been working to lay the groundwork for promoting the interests of La Jolla businesses by establishing four working committees — design, organization, promotion and economic development. Lane, who is also the Retail Advertising Mananager at the La Jolla Light, said the promotion committee worked “tirelessly and fearlessly� to devise a visual, online campaign. “Our goal was to create a concrete market solution for really getting
people to spend money in our Village.� LJVMA president Phil Coller said, “The main thrust was to have a community website for La Jolla. We own it (the website) and run it, but we’ll pretty much allow any use of it that’s reasonable.� Lane added, “This website needs to be compelling enough to draw repeat traffic and be an all-encompassing resource for exploring what we do here.� The promotion committee also handles branding and special events. Other members include Michelle Lerach, Claudette Berwin, Nancy Warwick, and Leon Chow. In a slideshow presentation, Lane unveiled the “La Jolla Take It In� slogan, printed in a hand-drawn script. He talked about the thinking behind the business community’s new brand and imagery. “The message needs to be brought to a razor point,� Lane said, “It also
Chemical society elects La Jollan as director Barbara A. Sawrey, Ph.D., associate vice chancellor for undergraduate education at UCSD, and resident of La Jolla, was elected director-atlarge of the board of directors of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society. She will begin a three-year term on Jan. 1. “When I graduated with my B.S. in chemistry nearly 40 years ago, I could not have imagined the path my career would take, nor could I have predicted the interdisciplinary and global direction the chemical enterprise would take,� Sawrey said. Sawrey has served as a mentor for the U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad team, traveling twice with the finalists to international competitions. She is also an instructor in the ACS Leadership Development System, helping fellow chemists enhance their professional skills. Sawrey said the ACS needs to continue to advocate for research and development funding at the federal and
has to have broad appeal speaking to everyone — locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.� Lane said the branding for the new website also explores the community’s diversity. “The visual campaign is a contrasting campaign — from a beach community to a wealthy community, from flip-flops to loafers, from low tide to high fashion, from coffee bar to caviar, from eyewear to I do: La Jolla — Take It In,� he said. Lane added the new website, which may keep the domain name “La Jolla By The Sea,� will be merchant-friendly allowing Village businesses ample opportunity to promote themselves and link to their own individual websites, as well as be included in an onsite business directory. He noted the website can easily be adapted to embrace changing technology. *** In other matters, Coller said the LJVMA’s budget must be approved by the group and submitted to the city for review by Feb. 1. A vote on approving the proposed budget will take place at the Jan. 11 meeting.
Barbara a. Sawrey state levels, provide strong support for innovation and entrepreneurship, and pursue strong connections with scientific societies in other countries. Sawrey received a B.S. in 1973 from Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, an M.A. in 1982 from San Diego State University and a Ph.D. in 1983 jointly from the University of California, San Diego, and San Diego State University. The American Chemical Society is a non-profit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress, with more than 163,000 members.

Nick Nassir begins his 100th birthday at Harry’s Designer By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Nicholas Nassir, who doesn’t look — nor act — a day over 70, observed his 100th birthday on Dec. 19. But he didn’t depart much from his usual routine: breakfast at Harry’s Coffee Shop in La Jolla then on to work a couple of hours with his son at Phone Ware in Kearny Mesa (formerly in Bird Rock). A few folks stopped by for breakfast who might not otherwise be there to help him celebrate becoming a centenarian. “He’s a very nice man,” commented John Rudolph, who runs the family owned and operated business about his long-lived patron. “He comes in five days a week. Always sits at the counter.” Rudolph said Nassir has special qualities including a remarkable memory. “He remembers all the waitresses and busboys,” he said. “There aren’t too many customers who make that sort of effort.” Asked what he was going to do special for his 100th birthday, Nassir good-naturedly quipped, “breathe.” Then he added, “I’m gonna feed my face with birthday cake.” Born in Brooklyn, in 1911, Nassir, who grew up in Pennsylvania, was the son of an orthodox Christian minister. He said he came out to California when he got married for his honeymoon, and he and his bride liked it so much they decided to stay. They started out living in San Francisco, then worked their way south down the coast. Nassir’s 67-year-old son, Bill, said his dad, who is recognized as an expert in the oil refining business, owns three patents. The secret to his longevity? “Dad exercises ev-

When I asked him how he reached 100 years, his mantra was ‘activity, activity, activity, of mind, body and soul,’ then he said, ‘I try to be simple. I only believe in activity and inactivity. Inactivity is when they plant you six feet under and you’re looking at the daisies from the wrong side up.”
Did you know ... The United States has the greatest number of centenarians in the world with an estimated 70,490 as of Sept. 1, 2010. Japan is next with 47,756 at that time. —wikipedia

CONNECT presents 2011 most innovative new product awards BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN What do an adjustable surfboard, a genome sequencer, software that can think, and a device to keep a patient’s airway open during a medical procedure all have in common? They are recipients of the 2011 Most Innovative New Product Awards presented by CONNECT, the regional program that links San Diego technology and life sciences inventors and entrepreneurs with the resources they need for success. Now in its 24th year, the CONNECT MIP Awards were held Dec. 9, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. The eight product winners, in categories ranging from clean technology to the latest software applications, were selected from more than 140 nominations, a record number in the history of the program. “This is a 35 percent jump in entries in a tough economic climate,” said Duane Roth, CONNECT CEO. To be eligible for award consideration, a product must have been developed in the San Diego area, been introduced to market within the past 18 months, and must have generated revenue from sales. La Jolla-based companies among the finalists were MicroPower Technologies, Inc.; Swarmology, Inc.; SwoopThat, LLC; and Targeson, Inc. Sorrento Valley-based Geodetics Incorporated, started life in La Jolla in 1999, on the third floor of Pearl Street in offices now occupied by the La Jolla Light. This year’s award recipients:

In 1950, near the end of Navy boot camp here in San Diego, we had our first day off — "liberty" as it's called. I bought a newspaper and saw that “American in Paris,” was playing at the Cove Theater in La Jolla. I had no idea where La Jolla was. I'd never heard of the place. I got directions from a bus driver, and managed to find my way to La Jolla. I loved Gene Kelly's dancing and wanted to see the movie. Arriving at the theater, I learned the movie had already started, and since there was no way I'd go in and watch a movie after it had started, I walked around La Jolla for about an hour and a half. It was, and still is, the most beautiful place on Earth (for me). I fell in love with La Jolla. It was, as they say, as if I’d died and gone to heaven, especially after three months in boot camp. During the movie, I also fell in love with Leslie Caron, the actress who danced with Gene Kelly. There was something special, too, about the man who took tickets at the entrance. He had a very noticeable quality about him that stuck in my memory. He was very manly looking … and distinguished. Just his presence made you feel at home there. He looked into your eyes and greeted you with a sincere smile when he took your ticket. The next time I went to that theater was in 1968, when I came to live in La Jolla after work-

ing for a year at a bank in Honolulu. I have an excellent memory. When I went into the theater, I saw this same man. I asked him how long he'd been working there, and he confirmed he was there a long time before 1950. Over the years, I became slightly acquainted with him. I went to the Cove Theater many times. It was a very nice neighborhood movie house, always clean and comfortable, and Mr. Spencer Wilson had a lot to do with that. After I left banking in 1974, I worked for 22 years at the Empress Hotel over on the next street from the Cove Theater, and I saw Spencer Wilson many times at the Cove Theater. The article on his passing in your paper brought back a lot of pleasant memories. The theater has been gone for several years. When I walk or drive by the place where it was, it's hard for me to realize it's not there anymore. It was a landmark. And Mr. Wilson was part of it. It's impossible to think of the Cove Theater without thinking of this fine man. Frederick Regenold, La JoLLa
Seals pupping season is a gift to treasure In the long running debate over the harbor seals at the Children's Pool, no one to my knowledge has noted that this harbor seal population is unique in that it is the only one that is so close to a major urban center. I have seen harbor seal colonies in Alaska at South Sawyer Glacier, in Glacier Bay National Park at John's Hopkins Glacier, on the Isle of Skye in the Inner Hebrides, in the winter on Long Island, NY, and in Carpinteria, Calif. Nowhere else but La Jolla can such close views of pupping harbor seals be seen by so many. Isn't that an opportunity worth as much protection as we can give it? Art Cooley La JoLLa
Pupping season nears for harbor seals Many San Diegans will bring out-of-town visitors to The Children's Pool in La Jolla over the holidays to view the harbor seal colony as they are approaching their pupping season. Seals gestate for nine months, so you will see very large females moving slowly and beaching more often. There is little signage to indicate the restraints needed at this time, except for a rope strung across the beach intended to give the seals enough space to move freely and keep people at a comfortable distance. Please listen to the Ranger if he is there and when he is not, refrain from crossing the rope to get close to the seals. They are very sensitive to human presence especially at this time, whether they outwardly show it or not. Viable pups are usually born between February and April, so the potential mothers need plenty of freedom from stress to rest their bodies and prepare for nursing and raising their newborns over a limited six-week period. Sharing the beach sometimes means giving it up to the higher need. Val Sanfilippo via e-maiL
Premature birth rate low for la Jolla seals This is addressed to the California Coastal Commission contact emails given to me. I was asked to provide some reference information regarding the question of premature birth rates for Pacific harbor seals at the Children's Pool in La Jolla and the reasons for this. First of all, 39 percent of all Pacific harbor seal births in a pupping season may be premature (Steiger et al. 1989, Journal of Wildlife Diseases). The rate of Pacific harbor seal premature

From readers, a16 births at the Children’s Pool has never approached this percentage, which is considered normal for Pacific harbor seal rookeries. Secondly, premature Pacific harbor seal births happen commonly in maternal females that are young, less than 5 years of age (Bowen et al. 1994, Canadian Journal of Zoology). Maternal female Pacific harbor seals, 4 to 6 years of age with low body mass, most commonly have premature births (Ellis et al. 2000, Journal of Mammalogy). There have been claims that people are causing Pacific harbor seal premature births at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla. There is no evidence for this as the percentage of premature births in the Pacific harbor seal colony at the Children’s Pool is much lower than the expected normal percentage of almost 40 percent and determining causes for premature birth in Pacific harbor seal rookeries is extremely difficult as there are many, many reasons to consider. Kent D. Trego La JoLLa
Seal Rope installed amid challenges The re-installation of the seasonal seal rope guideline barrier separating humans from harbor seals at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool during the marine mammals’ pupping season went up dec. 15 and will remain up until may 15. Pro-seal advocates held a press conference marking the occasion, while probeach access proponents challenged the legitimacy of the rope, saying its dimensions violated permit conditions. The California Coastal Commission will hear an application for a year-round rope guideline at a meeting in Chula Vista in march. Dave Schwab photo

When he was four years old his father, Dr. Charles Joseph Brophy, died. After his father’s death, he moved to San Diego County with his mother, where he lived for the balance of his life. He died on December 17, 2011, in La Jolla, California. His mother, Eva S. Brophy, was an owner of the Pine Hills Lodge in the backcountry of San Diego County. She sold the Pines Hills Lodge to his eventual wife’s family, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kruger. It was in Pine Hills that Chuck met and fell
in love with his future wife, Barbara Louise Kruger. Chuck was raised in San Diego County. He attended Hoover High School and he graduated in 1941. He also attended San Diego State University, later transferring to the University of Southern California, where he studied civil engineering. He was a member of the Sigma Lambda Fraternity at USC. He graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in civil engineering after his return from World War II in 1949. He served in the Army, as a Sargent, during World War II in the European theatre, ending with his honorable discharge in April of 1946. On August 27, 1946, he married Barbara Louise Kruger, of San Diego, his Pine Hills’ neighbor and sweetheart, at the Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church in La Jolla. After marriage they moved to Los Angeles, where they resided until he graduated from the University of Southern California with a BSCE in civil engineering in 1949. They returned to San Diego with the first of their four children in 1949. In 1960, he and his family moved to La Jolla where he lived until his death.
In 1951, Chuck went to work for the engineering department of the City of San Diego. In 1952 he became registered as a civil engineer in the State of California. Later in 1952 he went to work for the civil engineering firm of Freeland, Peterson & Evenson in San Diego. He soon became a partner in the firm, then named Freeland, Evenson, Christensen & Boas. The firm later became Charles W. Christensen & Associates. These firms were responsible for much of the civil engineering, land surveying and land planning for the communities of Clairemont, San Carlos, University City and Rancho Bernardo in San Diego County. He was recognized as an expert in the areas of civil engineering and land surveying and testified in hundreds of court cases. He later formed the firm of Christensen Engineering and Surveying in San Diego, where he worked until his death, with his two sons, Tony and Patrick Christensen, who continue the work started by their father. He recently received a Certificate of Recognition for 60 years of service to the profession of civil engineering from the State Board of Registration.
Chuck was a proud member of the Downtown Rotary Club, a Paul Harris Fellow, and a past president of the San Diego Chapter of Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors. He was also a past state president of the California Council of Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors. He was a member of ASCE. He loved golfing with his sons in La Jolla and in Palm Desert as well as his time on his boat. He was married to his wife, Barbara, for 60 years at the time of her death in 2006. His four children, Charles B. Christensen Sr. of Point Loma, Dr. Antony K. Christensen of Scripps Ranch, Angela L. DerOvanesian of San Diego and Patrick F. Christensen of La Jolla; twelve grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren all survive him. A rosary will be held at the El Camino Chapel in Sorrento Valley on Tuesday evening, December 27, 2011, at 5:00 P.M. His funeral mass will be held at 10:00 A.M. on December 28, 2011, at Mary, Star of the Sea Catholic Church in La Jolla. His nephew, the Most Reverend Bishop Peter Christensen of Wisconsin, will preside over the Mass. There will be a reception following the
mass. There will also be a private interment after the reception. In lieu of flowers, it was Chuck’s wish that donations be made to the St. Germaine Children’s Charity, P.O. Box 2141, La Jolla, California 92038-2141, or contact St. Germaine at: StGermaineChildrens Charity.com. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy. com/obituaries/lajollalight.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Dr. Sunstein works for ‘sunny smiles’ Authentic Luxury Goods has deals for buyers, sellers
When it comes to braces, there’s more to the story than just beautiful teeth, says Dr. Robert Sunstein, the La Jolla orthodontist who bills himself as the “Sunny Smile Specialist.” While the aesthetics of straight teeth are often the reason people visit his office, the underlying importance of the ability to chew properly is the other critical component in to why people should consider orthodontic treatment, he said in an interview this week from his office at 7575 Eads Ave. On top of that, “straight teeth allow a person to keep their teeth cleaner,” he added. “There’s lots of research showing that periodontal disease and bacteria associated with unhealthy gums increase the risk of heart attack and poor overall health.” Within the last 10 years and the advent of Invisalign – invisible plastic “aligners” that are worn directly over the teeth – and clear or porcelain-colored brackets, adults have become more interested in having their teeth straightened, Sunstein said. And for some, the payoff is huge. One patient in her 50s saw her diabetes disappear, in part, he said, because she “got healthier” and lost weight during her treatment. Often, he added, the process of seeing the orthodontist gives people a “built-in consciousness” of what they are eating, aiding in weight loss. His patients range in age from 6 to 76. The younger ones are children whose parents are told by the dentist that their children need braces be-

cause they have an overbite, underbite or crossbite. The older ones may want straight teeth or just know there’s something wrong, like TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) that affects the jaw, jaw joint and surrounding muscles in the face.

Community shows support for injured coffee house manager A fund-raiser on Dec. 17 at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters netted $31,000 for the medical bills of Jocylynn Breeland. She worked as manager of the café until she lost her right arm and the toes of her right foot in a traumatic episode on Nov. 22, when she and friends attempted to jump onto a slow-moving train, near the Beech Street crossing west of Kettner Boulevard. Jocylynn Proceeds from SaturBreeland day’s sales, as well as a live auction of artwork and gift certificates to local restaurants, will help pay Breeland’s bills as she works her way through a long recovery.

Holiday Bowl set Two former La Jolla High standouts named captains on Yale sports teams for Wednesday It goes without saying that being named as a captain of an athletic team is an honor. Recently that honor was bestowed on two former La Jolla High graduates — Nihal Kayali and Maddy Sharp — on two separate squads at Yale University. Kayali and Sharp might not be on the same team, but the two juniors will captain their respective clubs next season for the Ivy League school’s field hockey and cross country teams, respectively. “I’m honored my teammates have that much faith in me,” said Sharp, a 2009 graduate of LJHS who majors in environmental studies. “Obviously we’re coming off an incredible year. I hope that we are Ivy champions again next year, and we make the NCAA Tournament.” Sharp was a key part of Yale’s field hockey team that won the league title this past season, a year in which the Bulldogs set team records in goals, assists and points. “We trained very hard last spring and through the summer,” Sharp said. “Every single person was committed to our team goals, which were to win the Ivy League and make the NCAA Tournament. Every single person real-

ly put that extra effort in, and it paid off. And the team chemistry was great. We had a really cohesive team.” Sharp had a career-high 10 points in 2011 while starting all 17 games for the first time in her career. She has played 50 games in her career, totaling nine goals and six assists. As for Kayali, she was elected captain of the cross country team. Kayali had a breakout season in cross country this year, progressing through the ranks of the Bulldogs to become the team’s third scorer at the Ivy League Heptagonal Champion-
ships, where Yale was fourth, and the NCAA Regional meet, where the team took sixth. Those finishes were the team’s best since 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Bulldogs will not graduate any of their scorers from this season and Kayali will look to lead the team to even greater successes during the 2012 campaign. Kayali is also a 2009 graduate of the La Jolla High School where she is the record holder of the 1,600 and 3,200.
The California Golden Bears and the Texas Longhorns are getting set to play in the 34th annual Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 28 at Qualcomm Stadium. The 2011 Holiday Bowl will mark the fifth meeting of the two teams. Texas has come out on top in each of the four contests. The two most recently squared off in 1970. Texas won the game at home, 56-15. Coach Jeff Tedford brings his Cal Bears to San Diego with a 7-5 overall record, 4-5 in the Pac-12. This will mark the team’s third appearance in the bowl game, having split the first two. Most recently, they defeated Texas A&M 45-10 in 2006. In the 2004 game they fell to Texas Tech, 45-31. “We’re very excited about the opportunity to play in the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl,” said Tedford. “They do a great job of putting on a first-class event both for our players and fans. We look forward to playing a university with a great tradition such as Texas.” Cal’s offensive unit showed tremendous improvement in 2011, increasing its total production from 334.00 yards per game and a No. 90 national ranking in 2010 to 418.67 yards per game and a No. 37 national showing this season. The passing game led the way for the improvement, moving in the national rankings from No. 94 (175.08) to No. 38 (251.50 ypg). Texas enters the game with a 7-5 overall record, 4-5 in the

Gordon Shurtleff takes Rotary on the road Torrey Pines club member tops goal of visiting 200 clubs
Gordon Shurtleff points out the banner from Burbank, the 200th Rotary club he has visited. Kathy Day
By Kathy Day Call Gordon Shurtleff a collector, a clown, a gardener and a Rotarian and you’d be right on all counts. It makes the former president of the Torrey Pines (Golden Triangle) club proudest, though, when the Rotary label is applied because being a member of the international organization with the motto “Service Above Self” is in his blood. He lives — and travels — for meetings and has a perfect attendance record over more than 40 years. In fact, by the time this story is in print, he will have visited more than 205 different clubs. Shurtleff embodies what he says Rotary is all about: “goodwill and friendships and sharing the passion of Rotary.” More than that, he added, it’s about extending the Rotary family and sharing ideas and learning about other clubs and people. He shares his enthusiasm by bringing in new members
If you go ■ Who: Gordon Shurtleff, Rotarian ■ What: Join him at a meeting of the Torrey Pines (La Jolla) Rotary Club ■ When: Noon to 1:30 p.m. Wednesdays ■ Where: Rock Bottom Brewery, 8980 Villa La Jolla Drive ■ Website: torreypinesrotary.org and offering ideas on how to make the clubs he visits better. His most recent stops were on his way Santa Rosa to spend the holidays with family and friends where he and his wife Penny lived for 24 years. One of the first women to join Rotary in 1987 and now a member of the La Jolla Rotary who recently organized a League House holiday gathering, she met Shurtleff through friends in 1969 when her son Anthony was 7. Today her husband speaks of him as any proud papa would his own son. Listening to him talk about his life and his loves,
one can relate to his success in business. From the days learning the temporary staffing business from his father in New Jersey to his successful launch of Liberty Staffing in Santa Rosa with Penny, his job was making contacts and friends and helping others. He and Penny live in Mount La Jolla East, surrounded by a garden of roses, succulents and ferns that he lovingly tends. His home is a veritable collectors’ library with one room and adjoining sunroom full of everything from original photos of Marilyn Monroe and Bob Hope — personally autographed to
“Gordon Shirtless” — to thousands of marbles (including some listed in a current Morphy’s Auctions catalog). There’s also memorabilia from annual fishing trips with the eight “Jersey Boys” who have been friends for more than 50 years. “I’m a nostalgia freak,” he proclaims proudly, opening a sliding door to show off an airbrushed image of the original Coca-Cola logo. Look around and you’ll see original cartoons done by Charles “Sparky” Shultz, a friend from the Santa Rosa days, and vintage glass his mother collected. Then there are Murano glass clowns and photos of his days as one of the Distinguished Clowns of Santa Rosa. “We were business people, doctors and lawyers,” he said, laughing. “I was the one with the bulbous red nose that one little boy

FROM ROTARY, B2 twisted until my own nose was bloodied.” You understand more about his love of Rotary when he takes you into his garage — the Banner Room — with its immaculate checkerboard floor and carefully hung Rotary banners. He can instantly point to the one from his first club in Edison, N.J., and to one from Burbank, which was the one that marked his personal goal of visiting 200 clubs. This accomplishment earned him the “Up Front” feature for this month in “The Rotarian,” the organization’s members’ magazine. In it, he says, each club has its own personality. “I love learning about each club.” Now, he says, it’s on to 250. (Along the way, he’s been in 10 states and four countries and 52 of the 62 clubs in San Diego’s District 5340.) His fellow members can’t say enough good things about him. Don Yeckel, another pastpresident of the Torrey Pines club, said, “Gordon’s done anything but mellow with age. Over the past 27 years I have interacted with countless Rotarians in club, district

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, and simply “Santa,” is a figure with legendary, historical and folkloric aspects who, in many western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, Dec. 24. The modern figure was derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, which has part of its basis in saintly tales concerning the historical figure Nicholas. A nearly identical story is attributed by Greek and Byzantine folklore to Basil of Caesarea. Basil’s feast day on Jan. 1 is the time of exchanging gifts in Greece. — Wikipedia

The Sacred and the Profane in Art: From the Greeks to the Renaissance Tuesdays, January 17, 24, 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. 5-part Series: $50 member/$75 nonmember Single lecture: $12 member/$17 nonmember

Authentic Italian favorites, wine nights make Osteria Romantica a popular spot with locals By DANIEL K. LEW n Italy, osterias are gathering places for people in small towns and city suburbs to enjoy local comfort food in a neighborly atmosphere. In La Jolla, restauranteurs Fabio Speziali and Antonio Mastellone aim to recreate that atmosphere at Osteria Romantica. The La Jolla Shores eatery offers plenty of traditional Italian dishes along with ItalianAmerican favorites in a comfortable setting. “We want this to be a place for everybody — young and old, rich and poor,” Speziali said. “Not too fancy, but still nice and romantic with very good food.” Osteria Romantica has a bright, open and airy feel. Much of the walls around dining areas consist of glass-and-wood-framed doors which serve as giant windows and are often swung open to allow in ocean breezes from La Jolla Shores Beach nearby. Alfresco dining is also available in a patio and along the sidewalk for a European vibe. Walls are adorned with black-and-white photos, decorative plates, cooking utensils and garden-watering pots to create a rustic feel for guests seated around tables covered with green-checkered tablecloth. The menu features “tour of Italy” selections since co-owners Speziali hails from Lake Como in northern Italy, and Mastellone grew up in southern Italy’s Naples area. “Foodwise, we try to have a little of everything; the most popular dishes from different regions,” Speziali said. In offering homestyle cooking using some of their family recipes, Speziali said the kitchen staff makes minimal food preparation in advance. “We try to do everything on the spot,” he said. “There is nothing ready except for

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. This week:
■ Osteria Romantica’s Espresso Martini those items that have to be premade. Everything is fresh made — that gives it a different taste and makes a difference.” Osteria Romantica also makes its own egg pastas, such as gnocchi, lasagna and ravioli. Ravioli is stuffed with choices of ricotta cheese, portobello mushroom, salmon or lobster. Seasonal ravioli includes pumpkin filling with sage butter. For a gourmet twist on ravioli, Speziali suggests the Mezzelune Allaragista: Half-moon shaped ravioli filled with lobster in a saffron sauce. For starters, Speziali recommends Calamari Fritti, deep-fried calamari and zucchini served with warm marinara sauce, or Artichokes with stem sauteed with garlic and parsley in olive oil. One of the gourmet salads big enough to share, or enjoy as a meal, is the Insalata D’Anatra with smoked duck breast placed over warm spinach with pine nuts, raisins and a balsamic vinaigrette. Traditional gnocchi can be served as an appetizer or main course. Gnocchi Gratinati has the homemade potato dumplings smothered with a parmesan cream sauce
and finished in the broiler for a light crust. Gnocchi Puttanesca is served as an entree with capers and olives in a tomato sauce alongside an arugala and bay shrimp salad. “There is something for everyone — familiar or very authentic dishes,” Speziali said. He especially recommends dishes such as Pappardelle (pasta with braised lamb, mix mushrooms, olives and rosemary in a brandy sauce); Strozzapreti (pasta with sausage, porcini mushroom in marinara with a touch of cream); and Pork Ossobuco (braised pork shank). Those with a love of seafood should try Grigliata Di Pesce (mixed, grilled fish marinated in olive oil, lemon and pepper), or Salmone Ripieno (salmon filet stuffed with crab, bay shrimp and scallop with a curry sauce). Authentic-style dishes featuring rabbit, squid-ink pasta, and a variety of seafood are also highlights on the specials menu. As an essential part of Italian culture, Osteria Romantica offers plenty of wines from Italy and other countries, along with specialty liqueur, and Italian after-dinner drinks. Most of the wines are priced in the $25-$50 range “so people can try something different each time,” said Speziali. Every Tuesday is Wine Night with halfprice bottles of wine (not valid for large groups and maximum of two bottles per table). “It’s very popular and draws a lot of locals and regulars,” Speziali said. For dessert, meals can be rounded out with daily-made Strawberry or Neapolitan Tiramisu. “This has become a place for locals — and tourists, too — but we have so many regulars it’s become more of a friendship than just business — I like that,” he said.

Gift catalog supports global relief efforts
Religion & spirituality
Project Concern’s catalog to donate ‘Gifts of Life’ is available at www.PCIglobal.org
San Diego-based Project Concern International, PCI, launched its 2012 symbolic gifts catalog, Gifts of Life, that allows shoppers to give unique items that support PCI’s global programs and the people they reach in some of the most impoverished regions of the world. The catalog is available online at www.PCIglobal.org Once gifts are purchased,
buyers send eCards to recipients to let them know a gift has been given in their honor. For easy browsing, gifts are separated into three categories: Gifts of Hope, Health and Nutrition. For example, one of the symbolic gifts is a Bolivian llama, which could be used to help carry crop loads and other products, made by families, to markets in order for them
to create income for sustainable living. Another gift available is ensuring the safe deliveries of newborns and their mothers in Guatemala. With this gift, a mother will receive clinical care, services, counseling and education on health and nutrition, along with food and lodging during and after delivery.

VA employees pack holiday food boxes for needy veterans
G
athering at the VA Medical Center’s multipurpose room at 3350 La Jolla Village Drive, employees of the VA San Diego Healthcare System assembled 320 food boxes during the 28th annual Care & Share food and toy drive for more than 800 needy veterans and their families in San Diego County. The boxes include canned and boxed foods, grocery certificates for turkeys, and perishable food items. Each box was custom-designed to meet the needs of the family, including toys for children. To raise money for the event, employees held bake sales, a silent auction, penny drive, and food drive. In addition, they received donations from San Diego vendors. The staff delivered the boxes on Dec. 15.
Volunteers Anne Rosser, Barry Bongers and Jackson Yuon load food into gift baskets during VA San Diego Healthcare System’s Care and Share Drive packing day. The 28th annual Care and Share Drive brings 320 boxes and gift baskets to nearly 800 needy veterans and their families every holiday season.
Happy Holidays.

ALL HALLOWS CATHOLIC CHURCH
Rev. Raymond G. “Jerry” O’Donnell, Pastor We believe that All Hallows is much more than simply a place to worship once a week. It is also a center for learning, teaching, sharing faith experiences, and for giving and receiving that strength that we all need for our life-long journey with God. We are those servants mentioned by Jesus (Matthew 25:1430). Each of us have been richly gifted, but these gifts must be invested wisely and generously to help others, according to the principles of good Christian Stewardship. Know that you are most welcome at All Hallows. We hope that you will find your faith home here in our community. May God bless you.

New website works for renters CheckYourLandlord.com was launched to provide renters with information before signing a lease to lower their risk of falling victim to rental foreclosures and scams. Property owners, many of whom have become “accidental” landlords due to the inability to sell their residences, often remain underwater on their mortgages, and despite their rental income are unable to continue to pay their mortgages. Renters become the unfortunate and innocent victims in these cases, as they may find themselves in a rental property with plans to stay for many years, facing a 90-day eviction notice when the property is sold in foreclosure.

Convenient office/den, handy craft room, efficient maid/nanny’s annex, forced air heat & central air, vaulted ceilings, laundry room, walk-in garage, RV parking and MORE! DON’T MISS THIS ONE!!

New Year begins in optimism for home buyers seeking deals The job picture is improving, but previous job losses continue to be reflected in the high numbers of distressed homes for sale – more than half of housing sales in October, said the California Association of REALTORS. Ron Peltier, CEO of HomeServices of America, said there’s a “silver lining” – banks are shifting their strategies from foreclosures to short sales and involving the homeowner. “It’s less costly,
more efficient and a better solution to a bad problem,” he told Fox News in December. Foreclosures are about 34.1 percent of the market, down from 36.7 percent the previous year, and well below the all-time high of 58.5 percent in February 2009. Short sales are about 19.5 percent of resale homes, up from 18.2 percent a year earlier, but the good news is that more banks are selling their way out. The figures show that banks are more willing to work with sellers to sell their properties at a loss rather than risk new additions to foreclosure inventories.
