Council redistrict could impact La Jolla By Joe Tash It’s 2011, so it must be time for San Diego City Council redistricting. Every 10 years following the U.S. Census, local and state government entities are required to rebalance their legislative districts to ensure the populations are as equal as possible. The idea
is that if district populations become lopsided, the ballots cast by voters will not carry equal weight. In the city of San Diego, the process of redistricting actually began last year with the appointment — by a panel of retired judges — of a seven-member redistricting commission that will

UCSD’s new cardiovascular center set for April opening

By KaThy Day kday@lajollalight.com Now that the sneak peek at the UCSD Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center is behind them, the staff and faculty are focusing on the bigger event: opening for patients on April 3. And that’s not a simple task, said the center’s director, Kirk Peterson, M.D., FACP, FACC, who is also professor of clinical cardiology and has been on the faculty since 1970. Six years after Rich and Gaby Sulpizio pledged $10 million to help fund the center and more than two years after construction started, the big day means a lot of last-minute fine-tuning. There are licensing and reliability issues to finalize at the four-story center next to Thornton Hospital just east of Interstate 5 as well as assuring that all the new high-tech equipment and the basics are working. They have to make certain they’ve
have the final say on drawing the boundaries of City Council districts. This is the second time such a commission has been appointed in San Diego, following a 1992 ballot initiative that established the process. Previously, the City Council set its own district boundaries.
The 2010 redistricting commission, which has already started meeting, will have one additional job that its counterpart in 2000 didn’t face — creation of a ninth council district, mandated last year when city voters permanently adopted the strong mayor form of government. “We’re definitely creating
history,” said Anisha Dalal, a high school principal and chair of the redistricting commission. ■ Waiting for numbers Information compiled by the San Diego Association of Governments indicates that

Whitneys: Planners violated Brown Act Nursing student shawna Brooks, right, pretends to be a 75-year-old woman with heart problems during training at the sulpizio Center.
By DaVe sChWaB daves@lajollalight.com Kim and Bob Whitney, who want to build a mixed-use, three-story project in La Jolla Shores, are challenging the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA) latest appeal of their project and plan to sue the group for violating the Brown Act — the state’s open meeting law. The Whitneys have proposed demolishing a one-story residence and store at Avenida de la Playa and Paseo Grande in La Jolla Shores and replacing it with 2,300 square feet of street-level retail space with parking underground and two condos above. In July 2010 their project was approved by a city hearing officer, but it has since been subjected to multiple appeals. Some Shores neighbors and the planning group, which

WaveRunner tours stirring up swimmers all of the equipment, will be 85 percent occupied on opening day. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony — where Rich and Gaby Sulpizio were joined by their daughters and nine grandchildren — and gala evening Rich Sulpizio said he’s excited to see all the effort coming together.
By DaVe sChWaB daves@lajollalight.com Swimmers fear choppy waters ahead should a Mission Bay boat rental company follow through on WaveRunner tours it’s promoting along La Jolla’s coastline. It was announced at La Jolla Shores Association’s monthly meeting last week that Seaforth Boat Rentals in Mission Bay has begun advertising two-hour WaveRunner tours of the La Jolla Coast Fridays through Sundays departing at 8 a.m. for a $299 charge. On top of that, on March 8, the company advertised a half-price deal through Groupon and sold 51 tours. The immediate reaction of swimmers at La Jolla Cove was consternation even though the company’s owner says they should not be concerned.

Nyhan, who’s tended the Piatti property for about 15 years, noted the San Diego red bougainvillea and a small rose garden near the front door are hallmarks of the eatery’s plant palette. Fruitless olive trees and an herb garden including rosemary, lavender and sage make up foundation plants in the remainder of the garden setting.

Are You Ready to Downsize? DID YOU KNOW?
By DAve SChwAB daves@lajollalight.com Opponents of the proposed site of a farmer’s market to raise money for Bird Rock Elementary School say they’re circulating a petition to be presented to La Jolla Traffic & Transportation Committee. The panel, at its February meeting, asked proponents to survey those who live around the La Jolla United Methodist Church off La Jolla Boulevard, the location for the proposed Friday afternoon market. The petition drive follows discussions of the topic at last week’s La Jolla Town Council meeting. Market promoter Catt Fields White gave her third presentation to the community detailing plans to a packed meeting room at Florence Riford Center March 10. She previously had spoken to La Jolla Traffic & Transportation (T&T) Committee and to Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC). Following the promoter’s presentation, people living near the church in the Upper Hermosa neighborhood had a chance to voice their concerns and both sides were allowed to ask a few questions. An informal show of hands indicated more people there opposed the project than were for it.

Gillispie prekindergarten students reach for the stars
Members of La Jolla High School’s Cyber Defense team celebrate their victory in the Mayor’s Cup. Courtesy
La Jolla High School team captures cyber defense title The La Jolla High School Cyber Defense team defended their Mayor’s Cup title during competition against seven other Southern California schools on Feb. 26. The team members, who won the inaugural Mayor’s Cyber Cup last year, are Patrick Sapin, Rafael Cosman, Andy Hill, George Brabon. The team had to defend six different computers, running different software, from cyber attacks. They are coached by Greg Volger and won $2,500 for their efforts. The finals at UCSD followed practice and qualifying rounds conducted on-line. In the head-to-head meeting the team took on a CyberNEXS challenge, using “Windows and UNIX operating systems, network and security devices, as well as other information resources,” according to the San Diego Science Alliance website. “Teams were scored on maintenance of critical services; removing vulnerabilities and hardening systems; communicating status and resource requirements; and thwarting and removing hacker activities.” La Jolla’s team defeated competitors from Canyon Crest Academy, Westview High, Pacific Technology School, Troy High, Magnolia Science Academy-3 Carson, Ramona High and Magnolia Science Academy-5 Hollywood.
Students from The Gillispie School’s three prekindergarten classes recently left their rooms behind for a day-long mission. After spending the past two months studying astronauts, rocket ships and outer space, Kelli Auld’s prekindergarten class became professors for the day and shared their knowledge of space with the other two classes. Inspired by the school’s emergent curriculum approach, the children formed small teams to launch rockets, collect geologic specimens, craft simple telescopes and books, and build an imaginary room-sized rocket using reclaimed materials. Auld cites the engagement offered by the space-focused experience, now in its fifth year. “On this day the children’s learning comes to life,” she said. “They explore, eat, create, question, scream, laugh and experiment. It’s thrilling to see the faces of the children as they watch a rocket blast off for the first time. They are so deep in learning and imagination that they really feel like they are exploring an alien substance or collecting Martian rocks.”

The endangered school nurse: How budget cuts could affect one La Jolla school By Emily AlpErt Editor’s note: This is an edited version of a story published by voiceofsandiego.org. To read the complete version go to http://tinyurl.com/ 4fhvpzu. Six-year-old Owen chortled with glee as he flung a rubber chicken up into the air on a parachute, sending it to the ceiling. Gym class had gone inside on a rainy day. His round cheeks grew pink as he ran. But a giddy romp before lunchtime can be dangerous for Owen, a diabetic first grader whose blood sugar can careen from too high to too low. Too low and he could fall into a coma; too high and he could damage his eyes and risk blindness later in life. Health technician Dee Cundiff has to sit him down during gym class for a juice box to keep him from crashing, has to eye exactly how many apple slices he eats at lunch. It falls to nurse Cheri Amati to give him his insulin. All of this is scary enough for the people who love Owen. But his mom and dad were terrified when they heard that nurse could disappear next year. “Who is supposed to take care of all this?” asked Dana McCarter, his mother. Forced to figure out how to gut their own budgets to close an esti-

mated $120 million deficit, principals across San Diego Unified planned to slash half of the nurses who are stationed at their schools and a fourth of the health technicians, who care for students but don’t have nursing degrees. Doing so would save roughly $3.8 million. San Diego Unified tentatively plans to expand an existing pool of traveling nurses to cover more schools, but nobody is exactly sure how often those nurses will be able to stop by. More than 40 out of
roughly 140 nurses in the school district will receive notices that their jobs are on the line, after the school board voted last week to send warnings to nearly 2,000 employees. La Jolla Elementary currently has a nurse just two days a week and already relies heavily on traveling nurses to give Owen his insulin. Next year it will rely on them entirely, with no nurse on campus. The health technician could disappear too; Principal Donna Tripi hopes to get the
school district to cover her. Owen goes to school in a wealthy area with less dramatic needs than poorer neighborhoods across town. But even here, “they’re going to have their hands full,” said Cheri Amati, the school nurse. Children can still get medical attention when there is no nurse on site. Health technicians like Cundiff who are trained in first aid and CPR can patch up scrapes, help diabetic kids count carbohydrates and carry out other everyday tasks. Traveling nurses can give insulin injections, conduct hearing and vision screenings and do other tasks. Someone will still come to give Owen his shot. But nurses and parents fear the budget cuts will make schools slower to sniff out health problems and less nimble in treating them. Nurses say when they float, they find it harder to know the kids and detect problems before they explode. It will only get harder if they have to juggle more schools next year. Health technicians cannot perform all of the same tasks and duties — and they’re under the knife, too. “You can only spread us so thin,” said Jennifer Gorman, who oversees nursing in San Diego Unified. She added, “I don’t think it’s going to be as safe.”
The cuts would leave San Diego Unified with roughly one nurse for every 1,000 kids, according to Gorman’s estimates. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends one nurse for every 750 students — and that is just for children who are well. The teachers union is fighting the cuts, saying they run afoul of new rules in their contract that set minimum staffing for nurses. Parents are already frustrated with dealing with different nurses on different days. Owen sees up to five nurses in a week. His father, John Reed, once left work to pick Owen up, panicked that a substitute nurse wanted to give him more insulin than usual. Reed loves all the nurses; he just wishes there weren’t so many. “They say, ‘Hey, this is what the doctor’s orders say.’ Well, we get the orders changed all the time,” Reed said. (Nurse Amati said they had to communicate with Owen’s doctors six times in roughly three weeks.) “This disease is really slippery. It’s important to have people who are familiar with us.” … Please contact Emily Alpert directly at emily.alpert@voiceofsan diego.org or (619) 550-5665 and follow her on Twitter: twitter.com/ emilyschoolsyou.

PT for a Traumatic Brain Injury According to the National Institute of Health, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) costs the country more than $56 billion a year and currently more than 5 million Americans have a permanent need for help in performing daily activities resulting from a TBI. Survivors are often left with significant cognitive, functional, behavioral, and communicative disabilities, and some patients develop long-term medical complications. A Physical Therapist who is trained in neurological rehab can help to navigate the physical and cognitive changes and improve one’s abilities. The therapists at Ability Rehab specialize in neurological therapies, including those for TBI. Our professional therapists will develop an individualized program to improve a patient’s independence and mobility over time. We incorporate exercises to improve or adapt the patient’s ability to sit, stand, and walk while maintaining balance and equilibrium and compensate for a disruption in balance due to musculoskeletal or neurological dysfunction. Compensatory strategies to address limitations in visual feedback may also be required, as well as targeted exercises to improve the strength of the trunk, pelvis, and lower extremities. Whether the injury happened 5 days ago or 5 years ago we can help. P.S. Please support Team Ability Rehab in the Walk for Thought 3/26/2011. Call our office for details!
of his family history. His father died at 54 and his brother at 48. Acknowledging both had lifestyles that may have contributed to their poor health, he said, still “there’s no reason for someone to leave at 54.” His mother-in-law also has “some cardidovascular issues,” he noted in a press release about the center. “So, it was a no-brainer for us when we were asked to be involved with the cardiovascular center and if our lead gift helped and encouraged others to participate, that’s great.’’ Expanding on Sulpizio’s “all-encompassing” phrase, Peterson explained the center is bringing together all the specialists that interact on a patient’s behalf. That doesn’t always happen now in a “concerted or optimized fashion” because they’re not all in the same facility, he added. As a case in point, he talked about the patient who might have “unusually abnormal lipids (fats)” who would need the attention of an endocrinologist or metabolic specialist at another facility. Now it will be a specialist in the same building. n Attracting recruits Another benefit for the area’s health care is that the new environment will maximize training opportunities for medical students and post grads, he noted. Sulpizio added that benefit of being a cuttingedge teaching hospital is that it is attracting “the best minds” and has been a
boon for recruiting. “That all translates to better health care for all of us,” he said. Peterson also emphasized that the center is striving “to create an environment where new scientific advances can be brought to the bedside. We want to break down the impediments and roadblocks and speed up that process.” Part of that new knowledge is likely to come from the Clinical and Translational Research Institute, which will be housed in a new facility across the street. n Understanding disease Peterson said he sees the mission being driven by the sense that “disease, although fully understood, is only half cured … There is always some new approach.” While he said he could not address directly how the new center would affect healthcare costs locally over the long term, he believes in the short term improved “tertiary and preventative care will reduce costs.” That’s because there will be shorter stays and more outpatient care, towards which a lot of the new facility is oriented, he said. But costs of technology and science are generally not factored into projections on costs and “they don’t come free,” he acknowledged. Peterson, who is also cardiology consultant for the Naval Regional Medical Center and the VA San Diego Healthcare System, said he was not integrally involved in the design of the

Instead he gives credit to Anthony DeMaria, M.D. and Stuart Jamieson, M.D., who have been working on the concept since the early 1990s.

A high school senior’s dilemma: Choosing colleges By RogeR Li Editor’s note: Roger Li, a senior at La Jolla High who has interned at the Light for the past year, talks about the challenges of senior year in an intermittent series. At a competitive school like La Jolla High, college means everything. Overachievers seek academic perfection while athletes train rigorously with dreams of recruitment. Weeknights are spent cramming for tests and writing essays. The prospect of college admissions unnerves even the most emotionally stable seniors. I had always thought the college frenzy was petty. But as junior year approached, like the rest of my peers, my GPA and my standardized

News of the property’s back taxes being paid came from John Weil, chief of staff for Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, in information obtained from the county tax collector’s office. “We originally heard the owner would need to borrow the funds and pay the taxes, or sell the home and pay (taxes) out of proceeds,” Weil said, adding he’s heard the property’s in escrow. “My understanding is negotiations are underway for a sale of the property, which I assume would resolve the situation with the neighbor,” said Joe Parker, president of Bird Rock Community Council. “It’s just another example of how Bird Rock works very well together as a community, and affects partners with the city of San Diego and the county.” —Dave Schwab

Townhomes to replace structures at Pearl, Herschel By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Demolition will begin soon on the office building and cottages at the corner of Pearl Street and Herschel Avenue to make way for 24 townhome units. The 27,687-square-foot development site at 1030 Pearl St., which includes an office complex and eight yellow beach cottages, was purchased by Zephyr Partners for $7.5 million. Brad Termini of Zephyr Partners talked last week about plans for the new development. “They’re (townhomes) going to be two stories above a garage, and will be the same height as all the rest of the buildings in the neighborhood,” he said. “We’re going to have one-, two- and three-bedroom units on two parcels — one with an existing, one-story commercial structure adjoining another parcel with little yellow cottage apartments.” Termini said the previous property owner went through the community approval process for the project and got it “teed up and ready to go.” “We’re going to begin construction next month (April),” he said, adding he expects demolition to take about a month.

an artist’s rendering of the townhomes that will be built at the 1030 Pearl St. site. COURTESY Tenants in the commercial building, including a couple of dentists, an insurance agent and a psychiatrist on monthto-month leases, had vacated the premises by last week. “All of those businesses have relocated to other parts of the Village,” Termini said. The recession caused
Zephyr Partners to rethink the proposed residential project on the site. “We’ve been trying to find unique locations where we could build new product and deliver at a good value,” said Termini, noting the price of townhome units originally pegged at $1 mil-
lion-plus has been scaled back. “We think today’s market is really $600,000 to $975,000, not above $1 million,” he said. “If you’re offering quality homes that are well built and highly amenitized at today’s values — people are driven to that.” Zephyr’s housing project, yet to be named, will be townhomes, not condos. Termini explained the difference: “Condos are stacked apartments with somebody below or above and on either side of you with shared parking and some shared amenity like a pool. In our townhomes everybody will have their own walk-up entry. There’s no common hallways. You have your own front door. Everybody has their own two-car garage and it’s ongrade, not subterranean.” Many of the townhome units will have rooftop decks offering ocean views. Termini said it’s anticipated the project will be completed and opened in April 2012. “We’re going to set up a sales office and a showroom somewhere downtown this summer,” he said. “We’ll have renderings and start to capture some buyers.” For more information call (858) 348-7672 or e-mail brad@zephyrpartners-re.com.
Riford Center debate goes on By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Mary Coakley and architect Don Goertz outlined a counterproposal to put disabled access in front of the Riford Center rather than on the building’s side — which neighbors have objected to — at the Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Committee’s meeting on Monday. “We’d like to put a ramp up in the front of the building to discourage people from parking on the side and walking all the way around to the front,” said Goertz. Coakley said putting disabled access at the entry at 6811 La Jolla Blvd. avoids “treating the disabled as second-class citizens” by allowing them to go through the same entrance as everyone else. Architect Don Hodges, a Riford board member, said the center’s application to the city to place disabled access on the side along Bonair is not irreversible. “The board is amenable to any suggestion that would make the neighbors happy and achieves accessibility,” he said. Several Riford neighbors including Tony Haymet, director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, turned out to hear the information-only item before the PDO committee. “We don’t want people spilling out onto the side, which is what the current proposal would do,” Haymet said. At the end of March 2010, The Riford Center, an adult community center managed by the nonprofit Friends of the Riford Center, announced it had abandoned preliminary plans to relocate disabled access from the building’s front to the side. But six months later, after reevaluating all possible ADA design alternatives, the center’s board reconsidered that position noting, “While it would be desirable to use the main entrance as the single entrance/exit for elderly and disabled we found (this) the only feasible alternative that falls within the budget, meets legal requirements, satisfies safety concerns and respects the dignity of elderly and disabled persons.”

FROM MARKET, A3 Opponents said they support finding alternative ways to fund Bird Rock Elementary and other local schools in the wake of recessionary budget cuts. They just felt a farmers market at the church site on Fridays from 2 to 6:30 p.m. was the wrong place at the wrong time and would lead to traffic congestion and parking problems. “My main concern is about traffic, the added burden on La Jolla Boulevard on Fridays from noon to 8 p.m. where drivers will be forced to slow down or divert to side streets,” said Barbara Decker who lives near the church. “I’m also concerned about streets being closed off and people not being able to access their homes.” Town Council Trustee Jennifer Clark asked the market promoter whether any research had been done on the viability of two markets held in the same community two days apart. Fields White replied there are similar situations elsewhere among the 47 farmers markets countywide. She added weekday and weekend markets typically draw different crowds. Sherry Ahern, who organized and has promoted the Open Aire Farmers Market held Sundays at La Jolla Elementary School for more than 10 years, expressed doubt the community could support two different markets so close together. She said there are a limited number of farmers, many of whom she said will not participate in two
“my main concern is about traffic, the added burden on La Jolla Boulevard on Fridays from noon to 8 p.m. where drivers will be forced to slow down or divert to side streets.” — Barbara Decker Bird Rock resident different markets in the same neighborhood. Town Council President Rick Wildman said the council would hold another discussion and allow for greater debate on the item after it has worked its way through the other community groups. At that time, he added, the council could take a stand on the market proposal. After the meeting, Joe LaCava, president of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), which makes recommendations to the city on land-use, detailed the approval process Bird Rock market proponents
will have to go through to get city approval. “It will have to go back to T&T, and then to the LJCPA, which is recognized by the city as the official voice of La Jolla,” he said. “CPA will simply make a recommendation approving or denying it.” LaCava said the market proposal would then go to the city’s Special Events Department for their review. To see the process for a permit, go to www.lajollacpa.org and click on the “Special Events” link near the lower left-hand corner. “They’re the ones that will (or won’t) issue the permit after taking input from the community,” he said. Carolyn Wormser, director of Special Events for the city, said the Bird Rock situation would be unusual in that, “It’s not common for us to be evaluating a permit application that is controversial.” Wormser said said such applications are judged on “strategies submitted by applicants to address concerns raised” about the prospective market. She added there is a $150

application fee which must be submitted a minimum of 60 days prior to startup of a special event. Wormser added there is a management team that reviews Special Event applications. If a farmers market application is denied, that is appealable to the City Council’s Neighborhood Services and Public Safety Committee, said Wormser, who added she was unaware of any appeal right at the city level for those opposing an accepted application. Wormser added Special Event permit applications are typically granted on a 60- to 90-day trial basis before being renewed.
Job options in high tech, biotech, healthcare tech and clean tech will be examined at a career development night that is part of the San Diego Science Festival. The event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. March 22 at the UCSD Extension Sorrento Mesa Center, 6925 Lusk Blvd. For more information and to register visit: http://extension.ucsd.edu/ careernight or call (858) 534-8178.

FROM WHITNEY, A1 voted 14-1 to oppose the project, contend the project’s bulk and scale is excessive and would conflict with the community’s small-village character. But the Whitneys, who bought the property in 2007, are challenging the planning group’s right to appeal the project to the City Council. In January, the city Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve development permits and declared that an environmental impact report for the project was unnecessary. That vote would have let the project proceed except that LJCPA President Joe LaCava has appealed the decision to the City Council, which the Whitneys say was done without action by the full board and thus a violation of the Brown Act. They also contend that a series of e-mails among planning group members constitutes an attempt to reach “collective concurrence” and is also a Brown Act violation as well as of City Council and LJCPA rules. LaCava acted under a policy revision the group

approved in December that allows the president to appeal a project that they had previously objected to without a vote as long as they ratify the action at a later meeting. The Whitneys contend that never happened. It’s that decision which the LJCPA is appealing and the Whitneys are disputing. “Our position is an appeal of the environmental documents is invalid because the project is no longer appealable,” said Robin Munro Madaffer of the law firm Schwartz Heidel Sullivan, who is representing the Whitneys. “The City Council remanded the project back to the Planning Commission,
which recertified the same environmental document, so the project is not appealable.” Gina Coburn, communications director for the City Attorney, said the Whitney’s claim is under advisement. “It is being reviewed by City Planning and Community Investment Department which oversees the planning groups,” said Coburn in an e-mail last week. “When they have concluded their fact-finding there will be a response.” Regarding the Whitneys’ challenge of LJCPA’s appeal, Munro Madaffer noted: “The LJCPA had to have a vote to decide to file an appeal and they did not do
that. They never put it on the agenda. They never discussed it. They are in violation of the Brown Act and they must withdraw their appeal.” Madaffer added, should the city rule against their challenge the Whitneys would “continue to assert these claims” and will consider “filing a lawsuit in order to enforce their rights and enforce fairness.” Joe LaCava, LJCPA president, said the advisory group is taking the Whitney’s challenge to the process by which the group filed its appeal “very seriously,” adding the group feels “we’re complying with our rules and took appropriate action in agreeing to ratify the appeal.” LaCava said the project is trapped in a legal “loop,” causing it to bounce back and forth between the City Council and Planning Commission. “I’ve been told by the city that eventually, one side or the other tires of the bouncing back and forth and proceeds to litigation,” he said. “That’s how other projects have escaped that loop.”
Arctic phytoplankton blooming earlier
Research Report BY LYNN FRIEdMANN
Warming temperatures and melting ice in the Arctic may be behind a progressively earlier bloom of a crucial marine event; the annual spring bloom of phytoplankton — tiny plants at the base of the ocean food chain. Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCS, along with colleagues in Portugal and Mexico, plotted the annual phytoplankton bloom in the Arctic Ocean and found the peak timing of the event has been progressing earlier each year for more than a decade.
Analyzing satellite data depicting ocean color and phytoplankton production, scientists conclude that the spring bloom has come up to 50 days earlier in some areas. During the one- to twoweek spring bloom, a major influx of new organic carbon enters the marine ecosystem through a massive peak in phytoplankton photosynthesis, which converts carbon dioxide into organic matter as part of the global carbon cycle. Phytoplankton blooms, in turn, stimulate production of zooplankton, microscopic marine animals, which become a food source for other marine life. The findings appear in the journal Global Change Biology. News release at http://bit.ly/fv43AL. n More Online: Read the rest of this article at www.lajollalight.com

La Jolla High School team takes 11th straight Grunion Bowl Team heads to Texas for National Ocean Science Bowl finals By GreG Alder For the 11th straight year La Jolla High School won the Grunion Bowl, a competition that tests students’ knowledge about the ocean sciences. Soon they’ll head to Texas for the finals of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl. The Grunion Bowl is one of 25 regional competitions, and the winner of each goes to the national finals held April 29-May 1 at Texas A&M University in Galveston. The winning team from La Jolla High is comprised of Ian Fong (captain), Nicole
Jarvis, Varun Rau, Leslie Timms and Amanda Martin. Honors Marine Science and Biology teacher Dave James is the coach. Teams play against each other by buzzing in to answer multiple choice questions as well as longer bonus questions. “There are questions you won’t find in any textbook like, ‘How many pounds of sardine were caught last year?’ � said James. On Feb. 26 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Vikings topped 10 other schools in the competition
The 2011 Ocean Science Bowl team from la Jolla High School is heading for nationals. COuRTESy
sponsored by the Consortium for Ocean Leadership, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization. There are 300 schools participating in the program, which “provides a forum for
talented students to test their knowledge of the marine sciences including biology, chemistry, physics, and geology,� as stated on the organization’s website. Now, in preparation for
the finals, the team is meeting twice a week before school at 6:30 a.m., and James has given each team member copies of an extra textbook and links to useful websites. He also hands out readings and assigns research projects. The team’s hard work certainly paid dividends last year when they took fourth place at the national finals, their highest placing ever. And with four out of the five players from last year’s team returning this year, James feels confident in their chances to do even better. “If all goes right, we could conceivably come in first place,� he said.
Teams that finish in the top three receive award trips to places as exotic as the Smithsonian Tropical Research Center in Panama (2009’s first place award). But every team that makes it to the finals in Texas will be able to go on tours with naturalists and interact with marine biologists and attend a career fair. NOSB’s mission is to interest students in pursuing a college degree and future career in the ocean sciences. And it seems to be working. “NOSB has definitely encouraged me to consider marine biology as a career,� said Viking team member Varun Rau.

FROM REDISTRICT, A1 the city of San Diego’s population at the start of 2010 stood at 1,376,173. If the census shows a similar population figure, the new council districts should each have a population of about 152,000. That means council District 1, now represented by Sherri Lightner, which includes La Jolla, University City, Carmel Valley, Rancho Peñasquitos and other areas, is likely to be trimmed during the redistricting process. SANDAG data show District 1’s population in 2010 was 207,000, the largest of any of the eight existing council districts. But Lightner said research by her own staff shows the figure is more likely between 220,000 and 240,000, meaning one or more communities will likely be shifted to another council district. “The expectation is Rancho Peñasquitos will no longer be in District 1,” Lightner said. While Lightner said she doesn’t plan at this point to testify before the commission — the mayor and council members are barred by the commission’s bylaws
April 1, when official census numbers are released. The commission plans to contract for software and technical support that will allow it to analyze the census data and lay out the new council district boundaries.
“Everyone who is interested should participate and I think everyone should be interested.” — Sherri Lightner
Councilmember, District 1 from speaking to commission members about redistricting outside of the commission’s public meetings — she would like to see La Jolla reunited during this round of redistricting. La Jolla was split between council Districts 1 and 2 in the 2001 redistricting, she said. “I know all of La Jolla wants to be together,” she said. ■ Meetings ahead Details remain to be seen as the commission, which has been holding regular meetings since October, plans to ramp up its activities in the coming months. Public hearings are scheduled for March 21 and 22, when commission members and staff will provide an overview of the process for the public — the “who, what, when, where and why of redistricting,” said Midori
Wong, the commission’s chief of staff. Both hearings will start at 6:30 p.m. The meeting on March 21 will be held at the San Diego Metro Operations Center, 9192 Topaz Way, while the March 22 meeting will be held at the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, 404 Euclid Ave. Public hearings will also be held in April and May in each of the eight existing council districts before the commission files its proposed redistricting map, along with eight more hearings after the map is filed. Final adoption of the new district boundaries is expected in August. Those dissatisfied with the map can challenge it by putting a referendum on the ballot or filing a lawsuit. The nitty-gritty work of redistricting won’t begin until
■ Community groups in action Even before the census data has been released, jockeying regarding proposed boundary changes has already begun among various community groups. The Asian and Pacific American Coalition was the first to submit a proposed map for a new council district to the commission. The coalition’s map suggests creating a district that includes Rancho Peñasquitos, Mira Mesa, Miramar Base West and Kearny Mesa, with the goal of improving council representation for the local Asian and Pacific-American population. The APAC proposal also calls for moving Carmel Valley and Pacific Highlands Rancho to District 5, drawing immediate objections from those communities, which want to remain in District 1 because of their ties to the coast.
Map shows the current shape of Council District 1. CITY OF SAN DIEGO
Because redistricting will affect many communities throughout the city, Lightner said city residents should pay close attention to the process. “Everyone who is interested should participate and I think everyone should be interested,” Lightner said. The city’s redistricting
process is different than the county’s, where the Board of Supervisors appoints an advisory committee, but retains the final say over supervisorial district boundaries. Some observers believe the city’s process is superior.

FROM WAVERUNNER, A1 “We ocean swimmers are extremely distraught that the city would issue a permit to allow the operation of ‘high-speed’ wave runners in or near the La Jolla Reserve,” e-mailed Kathleen Simmons. “WaveRunners, or any other high-speed motor craft, have absolutely no business being in a reserve where human life and marine life will undoubtedly be impacted in a very real way.” “I enjoy WaveRunners myself … but we have longdistance training swims out to the buoys a pretty good distance offshore,” said Paula Selby of La Jolla Cove Swim Club. “How close are those WaveRunners going to shore, to the ecology reserve?” “I don’t want to swim through a cloud of exhaust fumes if they cross my path,” e-mailed swimmer Doug Burleigh. “I don’t trust my life to some Jet Ski tour operator to watch what their renters do.” “There’s a potential huge liability issue if someone gets hurt,” noted fellow swimmer Steven Coopersmith. But Andy Kurtz, owner of Seaforth Boat Rentals, said
New board members Winners in the La Jolla Shores Association March election were:
WaveRunners may soon join the usual sight of kayakers and swimmers along the La Jolla coast. kathy day fears about his jet ski tours are unfounded. “I assure you, we are going nowhere near swimmers,” he said. “The law is 1,000 feet. We’re going to be no less than half a mile from the beach.” Kurtz said tours would leave Mission Bay and go outside the kelp and around the corner to see La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club and the Cove before returning. He contends small-group tours are “far less invasive than the kayaks and boats that are there now.” Kurtz said his intention is to start out slowly in terms of tour numbers, but added tours will likely ramp up with demand and might be done daily in summer.
He said the five or six vehicles involved in his group tours are “a dot” compared to traffic already out there. San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Nick Lerma said personal watercraft like Jet Skis and WaveRunners can go anywhere boats are allowed. He noted, however, there is a “no boat” zone in La Jolla. “It’s off the Cove where the swim course is,” he said. Lerma said no craft of any kind can come within 1,000 feet of the shoreline and added there’s another restriction. “They are not allowed to go more than 5 mph in order to slow down traffic in the area where swimmers or divers might be close to shore,” he said. “My biggest fear when I’m

out swimming is the boats and jet skis,” said Will Newbern, speaking for long-distance swimmers who typically swim out along the buoy line or beyond a mile or more from shore. “We’re blessed with an environment where we can swim offshore where the lifeguards support us and don’t have to call us back because of uncontrolled boat traffic,” he said. Newbern added swimmers have already been displaced from Children’s Pool by seals and are being crowded by sea lions at the Cove. “If we’re going to have to fight Jet Skis (too), it’s really going to be a shame,” he added.

n Politics part of process “It’s one of the great, great, great reforms out there,” said former San Diego city attorney Mike Aguirre, who has filed lawsuits in the past against both the city and the county over their redistricting efforts. Political consultant Larry Remer strongly supports the city’s method, but said it doesn’t entirely remove politics from redistricting. Instead, it substitutes community politics for the personal politics of elected officials. “It’s not like this process removes the politics, it changes the politics,” Remer said, adding that that is not necessarily a bad thing. “Politics is the way we work out disputes … otherwise we have Libya.” Wong, the commission’s chief of staff, said to her knowledge, San Diego is one of just a few cities with their own independent redistricting commissions. In most cases, she said, redistricting is done by elected officials. (California voters have approved a commission that will set legislative and Congressional district boundaries this year.)
The commission’s goals, said Dalal, the chairwoman, are to gather as much public input as possible and to keep the process open and fair. “We want to do the best job we can to reach out and hear what people have to say about how the boundaries should be drawn,” Dalal said.

REBA’s longtime manager to be honored BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com For 43 years, REBA and Anna have been inextricably linked. Longtime executive director and manager of La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association (REBA), Inc., Anna Galloway is retiring at the end of March just before her 89th birthday — but not before the organization throws a party for her. She will remain a La Jollan, but will be traveling for awhile, going to Sweden to visit her sister and then on to her native Germany, which she left in 1956 to pursue a career in the hospitality industry in the States before winding up with REBA, which started in 1924. Galloway recalls the first home she and her husband bought in La Jolla on Prestwick Court. “We paid $60,000 for it in 1968,” she said. “We sold it in June of ’89 for $837,500 and two years ago someone offered $6 million for it.” “That’s a thousand percent (increase),” remarked Athena Harman, a REBA
Anna Galloway and Karen Rockwell member since 1978 who, along with current REBA president J.R. Sullivan and Sallie Ann Whitney have worked alongside Galloway for many years. Born into a realty family, Whitney’s parents used to work with Anna. As a child, Sallie would call Anna to ask her where her parents were. A lot has changed at REBA during Galloway’s 43 years. During her tenure, 17 different people have been president, several more than once. Galloway recalls her starting pay was $2 an hour, and that the Association’s office was in a small house (since

moved to Mexico) and that records were actually kept for a time in a bathtub. There’s a time capsule buried somewhere on the REBA site at 908 Kline St. If anyone can remember, “Help us find it,” implored Galloway. What’s REBA going to do without Anna? “Just sink or swam,” replied Harman half-jokingly. “I don’t know that we’re going to have the same position that Anna’s been in: She’s always defined the position,” Sullivan said of REBA’s grand dame. “We do need extra help here. I think it will be kind of a

BY KATHY DAY kday@lajollalight.com Still in its organizing phase, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association board last week set about housekeeping chores such as determining who will sign checks and who will serve on committees. The meeting was held at the La Jolla Woman’s Club, which will host the board at 8:30 a.m. on the second Wednesday of each month. The next meeting is set for April 13. While board President Phil Coller and member Tom Brady are researching banks willing to work with the group and give them a line of credit so they have funds to work with, the board agreed to require five signatures on checks over $10,000 and only two on those under that amount. They also named people to serve on committees to work on branding the new organization, which is seeking a contract with the city to manage the La Jolla Business Improvement District. “Most, if not all of us believe we need an image, a story — something that tells everyone what we’re here for,” said Phil Coller of Everett Stunz, the group’s president. “We are merchants, not the whole of the community.” Reza Ghasemi, who was on the board of Promote La Jolla, emphasized the need to stay focused within the boundaries of the Village district. “We need to avoid taking money outside,” he said. If it gets the city contract, the group stands to get access to about $360,000 initially along with another $25,000 in money from a special fund that can be used to pay staff. Regular annual assessments are expected to bring in about $160,000. Other committees that will help get the group moving forward are an organizational group to look at a formal structure, a special events committee, design and maintenance. The group also asked Realtor Claudette Berwin to explore options for office space that might include a meeting room.

fluid-type transition.” Galloway talked of how she’ll remember REBA. “I can’t remember anybody ever having a fight at a meeting,” she said. “Agents do get into fights but the next week — it’s all forgotten,” said Sullivan noting REBA is like family. “It’s like you have a fight with your sibling but you get over it.” Sullivan noted the organization has a “strange dynamic.” “We’re all competitors,” he said. “But at the same time we all need to cooperate: We have to work together so that we all benefit.” Celebrating its 87th anniversary this year, a number of things about home ownership have become self-evident to longtime REBA members like Galloway and Harman. “When you rent you have nothing, basically,” said Galloway noting, even in a depressed market, a home’s value “still goes up.” “The real estate market goes up and down, but at the end of the day, it’s always up — always,” Harman said.

Taddeys share dental practice The Taddeys’ La Jolla dental practice is a real extended family, including not only father-daughter team John and Tracy Taddey but Tracy’s therapy dog “Mona Lisa” as well. “We have pet therapy,” said Tracy, noting Mona Lisa provides relaxation for patients. “People who are nervous coming to the dentist, she takes the edge off,” she said. “It’s a unique feature that makes it a little more fun.” A third-generation dentist, Taddey is partnering once again with her father, who has practiced dentistry for 35 years at 7946 Ivanhoe Ave. She left to start her own practice in Clairemont before returning to the fold. “We do general dentistry and we’re going to be incorporating Invsalign (invisible braces) into the practice,” said Tracy. “We’re always up with technology, the newer cosmetic techniques and procedures. We also have the most pain-free dentistry you can offer.”
The Taddeys pride themselves on providing quality, modern, friendly, gentle dental care at affordable prices. They offer early-morning hours to accommodate patients, and have both English- and Spanish-speaking staff. Tracy said she focuses more on cosmetic and implant dentistry (teeth whitening, bonding, white fillings, etc.) while her father does the root canals, wisdom teeth, etc. Tracy talked about another unique aspect of thier dental practice. “We take a lot of insurance, accept many plans other dentists in La Jolla won’t,” she said. Dentistry has been in the Taddey family since John’s father became a dentist in New York in the early ‘30s after immigrating to the United States from Italy. John worked with his father at his New York dental practice before moving to La Jolla to start his own practice in

Proposal looks to transit before I-5 expansion CommunIty Leader's VIew By christine Kehoe State Senator, 39th District
Interstate 5 travels through some of the most scenic areas of California, but it’s not like the old days when traffic congestion occurred only during weekday rush hours. Now it’s seven days a week beginning early in the morning and ending well after dark. To respond to this gridlock, voters approved the TransNet extension in 2004. The 27-mile long I-5 North
Phyllis Pfeiffer Publisher
Coast Corridor Project, sponsored by Caltrans, SANDAG, and the Federal Highway Administration has proposed various widening options from La Jolla Village Drive to Camp Pendleton, the largest of which would create a 14-lane interstate. And what do commuters gain after spending $3.4 billion — the least expensive alternative? It will take seven minutes longer to travel from La Jolla Village Drive to Oceanside during rush hour. For $4.5 billion — the most expensive option — drivers will save one minute and carpools will save 10 minutes. The public clearly wants realistic transit options and is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but none of the proposed expansion op-
tions accomplish that goal. I recently introduced legislation that would require the implementation of real transit options in coastal communities before Caltrans could add freeway lanes. The legislation would apply statewide, but the first project affected is the I-5 expansion project in San Diego County. Senate Bill 468 says that transit options should be in place so commuters have real options during freeway construction. It would require Caltrans to assess what happens if up to 14 lanes of traffic exit onto local streets and to pay for necessary improvements to local roads. The legislation will also help California reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. By expanding trolley service north of the UCSD/University City area, double-tracking to accommodate
increased ridership on the Coaster and Amtrak, implementing a state-of-theart bus rapid transit program, and constructing bike paths in the corridor, we may finally offer residents, tourists and commuters legitimate alternatives to jumping in their car and fouling our air. There are better ways to move people through coastal communities than solely widening freeways. Improved transit service costs less, lowers pollution, and reduces congestion. Identifying and implementing better transit should always precede freeway expansion. Senator Christine Kehoe (D-San Diego) represents The 39th District encompasses 847,000 residents from the City of San Diego, City of Del Mar, and parts of Spring Valley, Lemon Grove, and La Mesa.

The majority of neighbors in proximity to the proposed Bird Rock farmers market at La Jolla Hermosa Avenue and Mira Monte Plaza were unaware and not included in any discussions that occurred prior to a short article in the La Jolla Light. Subsequently, impacted neighbors have had to gather facts from three public presentations. It should be made very clear that our objections to the commercial market in no way detract from our concern for our public schools. Our objections stem from the reality that our residential neighborhood will be disrupted every Friday during the market operation hours (2 to 6:30 p.m.) as well as extended hours (12:30 to 8 p.m.) which are necessary for vendors to set up and tear down and for SD Weekly Markets to locate barricades, porta potties, etc. Residents and businesses of the 6100 block of La Jolla Hermosa Avenue would be subjected to a street closure enduring untold inconvenience. Parking for this commercial venture will be spread into the adjoining residential neighborhood. The proposed farmers market cannot reach its profit goal without widespread advertising, which is already underway with the assistance of San Diego Weekly Markets, a forprofit business. Their interest in the success of the market through a large customer base is obvious. The result will be an increase of pedestrian and vehicle traffic along La Jolla Boulevard and into quiet residential streets at the busiest times of day and evening. Attempts to cross La Jolla Boulevard are of special concern, especially since Bird Rock traffic-calming creates a constant stream of vehicles past the access streets to the pro-
posed market venue. The heavily used bike path crossings at Via Del Norte and La Canada will be exposed to additional traffic and create danger. It has been requested that the market committee revisit the possibility of cooperating with the school district to establish a smaller open-air market on school grounds or to explore the numerous alternatives for a fundraiser that would meet both the needs of Bird Rock Elementary School and gain the support of its neighbors. Debbie Adams Brian Collins Barbara Decker Larry Haswell Neighborhood homeowNers
residents will bear brunt of market As I read Jason Meyer’s letter in your March 10 edition, a few thoughts came to mind. First of all “the good ends at BRE don’t justify the bad means” here. I know of no one who begrudges a great school like BRE from intelligently planned fundraising. Second, the traffic, parking and crowd control issues directly related to this whimsical plan which adds an increment of 250 cars and vendor trucks to an already overburdened La Jolla Boulevard and surrounding streets on a late Friday afternoon are just poor location planning. In addition adding a conservative number of 450 to 500 shoppers on top of normal Upper and Lower Hermosa neighborhood traffic, street parking and pedestrians each Friday is… actually a new layer of traffic and crowds to my neighborhood. …
It is very easy, Mr. Meyer, to focus on the positive things when you do not live near the residential location in question and are not impacted at all.

Farmers market issues addressed The BRE Farmers Market has raised many questions within the community. One question is about the proximity of the two farmer’s markets. Will two farmer’s markets be successful being so close to one another? The answer is absolutely yes. An example is the Solana Beach market in relation to the Del Mar market. Both markets thrive even though they are in close proximity to one another. Farmer’s markets have a unique way of bringing communities together, much like coffee shops. The two Starbucks in La Jolla are within one block of local coffee shops, Bird Rock Coffee Roasters and Pannikin Coffee Roasters on Girard. All four are flourishing. Another question was regarding parking. The BRE FM expects 40 to 60 vendors. Many residents will be walking or biking to attend. … The positive impacts from the BRE Farmer’s markets are numerous. The traffic and parking concerns will be on a much smaller scale and curtailed by the positive impact on our children's future. Tracy Truscott La JoLLa
market a big help to Br school BRE Farmers Market provides the opportunity to raise money for Bird Rock Elementary at a time when SDUSD is cutting vital student services. In fact, estimates are that unless schools raise money though private foundations, our kindergarten teachers will be asked to teach 30 students in each — an increase of 50 percent in just three short years. This is an example of the difficult budget situation we face as parents and community. The BRE Farmers Market is a great way to offset the potential cuts to vital school services. The BRE Farmers Market provides the unique opportunity for families in our community to gather together to support our children and their school. BRE Farmers Market will not only alleviate some budget issues for our school, BRE Farmers Market will be a fantastic community event. Please join me in this effort to be proactive for our children and our community. Jennifer Ziegaus Wahl bird rock

OBITUARIES
Your View Editor’s note: Students in David DeVore’s fifth-grade class at Torrey Pines Elementary School all wrote letters to the editor for a class assignment. Here are three of them.
Cell phones and driving don’t mix I am 10 years old and attend Torrey Pines Elementary School. When riding in a car, I notice many adults holding their cell phones while driving even though it is against the law. Statistics show that in 2008, over 800,000 drivers were texting, making calls, or using a handheld cell phone, resulting in nearly 6,000 deaths that year. Other studies show that talking on the phone causes 25 percent of car accidents. Texting while driving is approximately six times more likely to result in an accident than driving while intoxicated. Even Maria Shriver, wife of former California's governor, broke this law when she was caught talking on the phone while driving without using wireless technology. This sets a bad example for teenagers, especially those who are learning how to drive. Adults should obey the law and use wireless technology while driving or keep their cell phones off. This not only sets a good example for children, it keeps the road safer. Alexandria Kuo Torrey Pines elemenTary school
Build an NBA stadium instead I am writing because I feel San Diego would benefit from getting rid of the Chargers and replacing them with another sports team in the Sports Arena area. A sports team brings jobs and companies
From Letters, A18 the limited accessibility for vehicular traffic outside of the surrounding area seems to speak somewhat to that concern. The experience and success of the market manager should not be downplayed; she runs several thriving neighborhood markets in San Diego and has strong ties to the local farming community. With the delivery of 1,000s of pink slips to San Diego school teachers this week, local schools need as much help and additional funds as we can give them to continue to thrive.

Thanks to the coast's 'Soul Mothers’ Debbie Beacham and Melinda Merryweather's efforts to document the current state and condition of La Jolla's beach access points is to be applauded. These amazing soul mothers of our coastline are dedicated custodians of our sa-
to an area. Fred Mass, a board chair on the city's development corporation, stated that downtown San Diego's value tripled to $13 billion since Petco Park was built. So why don't we mimic the success, but next to the Sports Arena. I say we should demolish the Sports Arena, build a new arena and get an NBA team. On average NBA stadiums are more than $300 million cheaper then the stadium the Chargers want. The timing is perfect for this to happen because there are three teams on the verge of moving. Honestly, we can beat out our competition that includes Seattle, Anaheim and Vegas. As I see it, the Chargers are a financial hassle not worth keeping. Dan Grushkevich Torrey Pines elemenTary
Bike helmet law should be enforced Just a couple months ago I saw someone fall off their bike and onto their head without a helmet. He was severely injured. I'm very concerned about the lack of enforcement of the California State Helmet Law and the excuses that people come up with not to wear one. As I see it, by the police only giving out warnings, it creates the belief that helmets are not important. Recently it was stated that 50 percent of children 14 and under were hospitalized from biking accidents, and most of them were not wearing helmets. Also, by wearing helmets and preventing injuries healthcare costs are reduced. Although helmets can be uncomfortable and not fashionable, they can save your life. Evan Gold Torrey Pines elemenTary

COUNTRY DAY’S JUNIOR TOGIASO RECIEVES THE WILLIAM JONES MOST INSPIRATIONAL PLAYER AWARD MARCH 18, 2011
BY PHIL DAILEY phildailey@lajollalight.com The La Jolla Country Day girls basketball team started the season with lofty expectations. Saturday the Torreys (27-4 overall) can come one step closer to fulfilling those goals as they travel to Colony High School in Ontario to play Windward (Los Angeles) for the CIF Division IV Regional Championship. The winner advances to the state title game at ARCO Arena in Sacramento on March 26. So far during the team’s post-season run, there hasn’t been too much resistance by opposing teams. That is expected to change Saturday against the Wildcats (27-4). “It’s gonna be tougher, because they have (Imani Stafford) back,” junior Malina Hood said. “So that’s gonna change our game plan and strategy.” Stafford, who is 6-foot-7, did not play in the two previous games between the schools earlier this season — both of which were won by Country Day by a combined score of 116-92. But don’t expect the Torreys to come into the game unprepared. During practice this week, they enlisted Frank Bamford, a 6-foot-5 junior on the boys team to play the role of Stafford. Playing against guys in practice has been a mainstay for the girls team not only this year, but in years past. “Playing in practice against these big guys definitely makes it a lot easier when it comes to the games,” junior Maya Hood said. “We love playing against them, obviously they are really good. It definitely pushes us to want to be better. When it comes to games, it’s a lot easier and it’s slower." The two Hood sisters will play a big part in trying to slow down Windward’s impressive post player, a challenge that may not be as daunting as the one they face in practice each day. “It’s hard,” Malina Hood said about practicing with the guys. “They are really fast and they definitely make us work a lot harder.”
The idea for long-time Torreys head coach Terri Bamford (also Frank’s mother) isn’t new. It’s something she has implemented as far back as she can remember. Instead of using players’ fathers, she now has a crop of Country Day students who come to practice. Also included is assistant coach Barry Randle, a former standout for Lincoln High. “I think it’s good, when you’re battling against your teammates every day, that’s hard,” Terri Bamford said. “When you bring guys in, there are challenges — it’s good, it’s really good for them.” And really good for the Torreys. Despite the team’s four losses, only one — against Division I state title contender Mater Dei — has come with the team at full strength. “When we get in the games we are relentless, we have done all this work and we want to go for it,” said sophomore Kelsey Plum, the team’s leading scorer. “You can say that we win by a (large) margin, but I think that our team doesn't let up easily. We don’t look at the scoreboard, we just keep executing and at the end of the game, if it comes through, it comes through.” Also a big motivator for the team was losing last season in the regional semifinals, a feeling they don’t want to have this season. “We were devastated last year,” Plum said. “In the summer, everyone on our team put in extra hours, extra work. That is definitely the goal, we are not settling for anything less.” In Bamford’s 12 seasons as the head coach, she has led the Torreys to five state championship games, two of which they won. With the qualities and determination this year’s team possesses, it just may be No. 6. “This team is really special, one of the best teams I have coached,” Bamford said. “I think we have overall talent at every position. I feel like this team’s basketball IQ is very high and defensively I feel like this is one of the best teams that I have coached. I think they truly play as a team.”
UCSD decision may come soon
Congratulations Junior Togiaso, winner of this year’s “Most Inspirational Player Award’’ from the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. There is perhaps no greater example of a young man who exemplifies the heart and soul of Country Day. He is indeed a scholar, artist and athlete of character. From the classroom to the stage and on the playing field, he is a mentor and role model – to his own little brothers and to all our students and community. We wish him success and happiness. And we are proud he will take a bit of La Jolla Country Day with him to Cornell University and on to all that his future holds. 9490 GENESEE AVE

UC San Diego could know by May 9 whether its athletic department will be upgraded to Division I status in all sports but football, the head of the Big West Conference said earlier this week. UCSD issued a report at the end of last week that expressed a desire to move up from Division I. But school officials also said the step required approval of membership in the Big West, a league that includes fellow UC campuses in Irvine and Santa Barbara, among others. No other leagues in the West were considered appropriate for UCSD, which would remain in Division II if turned down by the conference, according to school officials.

La Jolla soccer teams come up short in regionals By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com The Bishop’s School’s girls soccer team lost to Oaks Christian in the CIF Division III Regional semifinals, while the La Jolla girls soccer team fell short in the regional final Saturday against Coronado. The losses ended the season for both teams. The Knights (14-5 overall), were tied with the Lions (25-2-1) at halftime, but were unable to keep pace in the second half, losing 3-0. During the regular season, the Knights went undefeated in Coastal-South play and finished second in Division IV San Diego section, losing to Coronado in the finals. Ironically, it was also Coronado which also ended the season for the Vikings last Saturday in the Division II Regional final. The Vikings ended the season with a 16-5-3 record. They were also the Division III champs of the San Diego Section.

La Jolla Little League begins 59th season On a picture perfect day March 5, La Jolla Youth Baseball celebrated their Opening Day. Games started at 8 a.m. but everyone took a break at noon with Bronco President Paul Delmore welcoming players and families to the 59th season of baseball in La Jolla. He asked the players and coaches of Team Aladdin and SDG to line up on their respective base line for the National Anthem, followed by the ceremonial First Pitch. LJYB invited Willis Allen Real Estate to throw out the first pitch as they have been a loyal sponsor of the league since it was founded in 1952. CEO Andy Nelson was quick to recommend his son Tim Nelson, a former LJYB Bronco All Star pitcher in 1993, to show his form on the mound — and he still brings the heat as you can tell from the photo. It was a family affair for the Nelson’s with Andy and wife Tracy, Tim and his brother Drew all in attendance, plus significant others. Over on the Mustang

Watercolor Magic Son discovers mother’s passion for art — and his father — after her passing
After her childhood sweetheart husband, Harold, died suddenly in 1960, Mae Einhorn coped with her profound loss by writing an intimate daily journal and learning how to paint.

Opera singer returns to her roots to guest star with Country Day’s Madrigals By KirBy BrooKs Chorus class was mandatory when Stephanie Weiss was in fifth grade at La Jolla Country Day School, but the opera singer didn’t just follow the motions, she “fell in love with the chorus.” Despite singing throughout her years at LJCD School, where she also played piano and flute as a member of the class of 1992, when Weiss crossed the country to study at Tufts University and the New England Conservatory, she didn’t commit to singing. Weiss kept her options open by studying biology as a voice major. She eventually embraced her vocal abilities and is now a soprano with the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Next month, Weiss will perform with the San Diego Opera, but before then, the former LJCD Madrigal joined the current Madrigals for a special performance. The day before their March 11 concert in the school’s Four Flowers Theater, Weiss rehearsed “Habanera” from the opera “Carmen” by

Weiss was right at home at Four Flowers despite having been there only once — for its opening. Retired choral director Keith Heldman arrived to welcome her back along with current choral director Carrie Rose. Heldman and Rose coached the Madrigals as they sang the famous aria with Weiss who, when not showcasing her signature pipes, joked with the students about pronunciation and translation of the song. Encouraging them to bring out the theat-
rics of “Habanera,” Weiss elicited peels of laughter when she exclaimed, “It’s opera! Think of the big, loud fat people that you associate with the opera!” The importance of music in schools is not lost on Weiss, who served as a teacher in New York City before beginning her career as an opera singer. She said many singers begin their careers later now, and a background in music is critical. “Playing the piano taught me how to learn roles, which is important in opera,” Weiss said. “Learning different

Weiss, a regular with the Berlin opera, is in town to appear with the san Diego opera in April.

The performance comes just weeks after the 100th anniversary of the opera’s world premiere in Dresden in 1911.

Weiss’s return to San Diego is a happy coincidence. She said Ian Campbell, artistic director of San Diego Opera, caught her performing in Berlin and didn’t know she was from San Diego. Three years later, she is making her debut here, and is excited to call San Diego home again
during her six-week stay. Weiss has called Berlin home for the past seven years. Her roles with Deutsche Oper Berlin are varied and include stints as Frasquita in “Carmen,” Musetta in “La Bohème,” The First Lady and The Second Lady in “The Magic Flute,” The Landlady in “Der Traumgorge,” The Overseer in “Elektra,” The Second Servant in “Die Ägyptische Helena,” Grimgerde in “Die Walküre,” and many more.

The original Guinness Brewery in Dublin has a 9,000-year lease on its property, at a perpetual rent of 45 Irish pounds per year. True. Arthur Guinness (1725-1803) started brewing ales from 1759 at the St. James’s Gate Brewery, Dublin. On Dec. 31 he signed (up to) a 9,000-year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery. Ten years later on May 19, 1769 Guinness exported his ale for the first time, when six and a half barrels were shipped to England. Guinness is sometimes believed to have invented stout, however the first known use of the word stout in relation to beer appears in a letter in the Egerton Manuscript dated 1677, almost 50 years before Guinness was born. Guinness started selling the dark beer porter in 1778. The first Guinness beers to use the term were Single Stout and Double Stout in the 1840s. — wikipedia.com

UCSD grad to direct Old Globe’s ‘Rafta, Rafta’ By Diana Saenger Ten years ago Jonathan Silverstein left UCSD with a MFA in Directing and headed to New York where his career as a director has been nearly nonstop. Silverstein is back in San Diego to direct the West Coast premiere of “Rafta, Rafta” beginning preview performances at the Old Globe Theatre on March 19. The Olivier Awardwinning comedy by playwright Ayub Khan-Din is based on “All in Good Time” by Bill Naughton, and is rife with laughs. It’s the story of a young Indian couple in England who get married and then move in with the bride’s family. “It’s a beautiful story about

the complexities of family life and relationships — be they newly married ones or older married relationships or even friendships,” Silverstein said. “Many of the plays I’ve done might be comedies, but they also have a truthful emotional side to them, and this play has both of those things. “In the center of the story is a very complicated relationship between father and son. Although we are introduced to the problems of the bride and groom, as the play unfolds, we find out that both sets of parents have their own difficulties.” Silverstein helmed the Off Broadway world premiere of “The Temperamentals,”

Two of the actors, Chowdhry (who plays the bride’s father) and Sabitri (the son), have appeared in a prior production of “Rafta, Rafta.” Silverstein added a prologue and epilogue to the script.
“There will be some dancing, and there’s a wedding that starts the play with a 45-page scene, full cast, in the living room, so it begins with a bang,” Silverstein said. “And there’s a Bollywood number that ends the play – like the ‘Jai Ho’ dance in ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’ “ ‘Rafta, Rafta,’ has a lot of everything – comedy, music, surprises and heart.”

Tickets are $30-$35 at (858) 454-5872. These remarkable works, composed by Bach in 1720, represent the apotheosis of violin literature and are rarely performed together in a single concert due to their demanding musical and technical challenges. Experiencing the sonatas and partitas for solo violin, one can scarcely believe that such rich harmonic complexity and profound emotional depth can be evoked by a single melodic part, conveying a thematic, rhythmic, spatial, timbral, and tonal texture – everything from mono-thematic preludes to polyphonic fugues, with all degrees of textures in between.

Heather Wiedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life becomes a journey through photography BY LINDA THOMPSON La Jolla photographer Heather Wied credits advice from Oprah Winfrey for her current photo exhibition at the Nelson Photo locations in La Jolla and downtown. Wied said she had the opportunity to talk to Oprah during a pre-show taping of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Biggest Fan of Bette Midlerâ&#x20AC;? segment when the talk show host spoke to Wied during commercials. Wied wanted to meet Oprahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest Bette, but was reluctant to ask her for the chance to come face-to-face with her favorite actress. When Wied finally mustered up the nerve, it was too late. Midler had already left the studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was devastated,â&#x20AC;? Wied recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Oprah and I continued to have a conversation about why I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak up earlier â&#x20AC;Ś and that is when Oprah told me to ask for what I want and not let the moment pass me by.â&#x20AC;? It was this life lesson that nudged Wied into asking Leon Chow of Nelson Photo to display her work this month. Chow reviewed her prints and called them â&#x20AC;&#x153;extraordinary and well worth the look.â&#x20AC;? Chow said the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to provide photographers with â&#x20AC;&#x153;their 15 minutesâ&#x20AC;? to

show off a picture they have â&#x20AC;&#x153;nailed.â&#x20AC;? And although Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is not an art gallery, it provides an interim step to photographers progressing in their craft. Wied said her decision to become a freelance photographer in late 2010 was prompted by several events.

Go Green with a cup or two of these crazy March sips
By CathaRine L. KauFMan Although many places and people have been professing to be the inventors of the blessed Irish coffee, the Buena Vista Café in San Francisco has a solid claim to its authorship as any. It’s a heart and bodywarming libation for March’s weather. A non-alcoholic counterpart, which also carries the emerald essence of March is the healthful green tea. Also keeping the body energized are more eccentric libations like a gin- or vodkabased vegetable martini, now being served at edgy hot spots around town. And for the cocoa-nuts, a mint-infused hot chocolate will do the trick. In the 1940s, the port of Foyne, the

I have been fortunate to have been born and raised in The Jewel … why live anywhere else? What makes this area special to you?

If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you improve in the area? I have always wondered why road construction on
Torrey Pines begins during the middle of summer and just before race season. It is congested enough on a daily basis throughout the year as we get in and out of The Village and to and from the freeway. I would hope there would another time of year where this process would be considered to ease traffic and a driver’s need for patience.

• One jigger of Irish whiskey, as smooth as a colleen’s complexion • One dollop of fresh whipped cream, as rich as a pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow. • Pour the whiskey into a goblet. Add the brown sugar, and fill one inch below the rim with coffee. Stir to dissolve, and top with cream.” n If Irish coffee’s not your cup of tea — try a cup of green tea, the oldest new health drink. Had we paid attention to the Chinese, Indians and Brits, it wouldn’t have taken us this long to find out how healthy and exhilarating this versatile beverage is. While all teas contain antioxidants, the justly praised green tea is a source of polyphenol antioxidant, a potent foe of I slip into a little glitz and glam, topped off with some sparkle and bling, and enjoy a special event on the town.

A splash of almond or hazelnut milk adds body and a richer taste, while a spoon of honey transforms it into a soothing balm. n For die-hard chocolate lovers, add a splash of mint extract, chocolate mint syrup or mint liqueur to a mug of steamy hot chocolate or cocoa. Or blend the mint flavoring with the whipped cream and add a dollop to the drink. n Finally, to warm the cockles of your heart with a cold “green” libation, try a kitschy trio of martinis blended with healthful, antioxidant veggies: A carrot ginger martini is loaded with fresh, carotene-rich carrot juice, ginger beer, Stoli vodka and rum; a golden beet and horseradish cocktail blends body cleansing beet juice, vodka and grated horseradish; while a “dirty pickle” combines refreshing cucumber and cornichon juices and gin.

predecessor of Shannon International Airport in western Ireland, was a bustling hub for Flying Boats between Europe and the United States. A flight to New York City returned to Foyne Airport due to severe storms. The chilled and agitated passengers disembarking the Pam Am flying boat headed straight to the airport terminal restaurant where Chef Joe Sheridan offered them his enlivening and heart-warming concoction of hot coffee with a splash of Irish whiskey that he dubbed, “Irish coffee.” Years later this coffee percolated its way to the United States through a travel writer for the San Francisco Chronicle who delivered it to Buena Vista Café owner Jack Koeppler. There, they replicated the authentic recipe by floating the cream on top. According to author Alex Levine, “Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat.” n Here’s the original recipe for Joe’s joe: • One spoon of brown sugar, as sweet as the voice of an Irish tenor • One cup of coffee, as strong as an Irish brogue

Hennessey’s Tavern offers a wee bit o’ Irish spirit each day of the week By Will PARSon ith a little luck of the Irish, La Jollans will find a suitable tavern for their St. Patrick’s Day celebrations much more easily this year. Visitors to the newer Hennessey’s location on Herschel Avenue will find a swath of differences from the one in Pacific Beach — and any other restaurant in the chain. For one, a higher-end wine selection awaits La Jolla visitors. And the former home of Santé Ristorante offers a unique patchwork of seating options, with the feel of a much nicer restaurant. The large fire pit is popular for enjoying said wine with an appetizer like the Margherita Flatbread. Awnings connect completely separate buildings (with more fireplaces), so the private dining room always remains much quieter than the bar. Barrels and lamps in the corridor recall an Irish village and lead you to the back patio, well hidden from the street. A cozy area
W The firepit serves as a cozy spot to kick back with a pint o’ Guinness.
Seating nooks provide a little privacy to small parties.
On The Menu Recipe 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: Hennessey’s Corned Beef Hash adjacent to the bar is nicknamed the “nook,” and it catches a lot of golden light in the evenings. If you’re looking for your corned beef fix, obviously the Reuben Sandwich offers the good stuff, which is cooked fresh every day. And the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs is the signature breakfast. Often overlooked for breakfast, Hennessey’s also offers a California Benedict and a Cap’n Crunch French Toast, which is just what it sounds like — French toast crusted with the popular cereal. You can
order Mimosas to boot. For lunch or dinner, the Gourmet Burger is deliciously crispy (thanks to the bun and the applewood smoked bacon). Should the healthconscious be wary of heavier items on the menu, the Seared Ahi Salad is also a popular choice. For St. Patrick’s Day itself, there are, of course, specials on Guinness and other brews, and corned beef and cabbage will be served for lunch and dinner. Corned beef sandwiches, Reuben sandwiches and Irish music will also be all-day attractions, along with special prizes, drawings and shooter specials. Hennessey’s has yet to become the community hub in La Jolla that it is in other towns. One of the ways it’s drawing in new crowds is with VIP cards offering discounts to members of various local groups. Among others, one group is perhaps surprising to see paired with an Irish tavern — 24 Hour Fitness. Then again, maybe a fitness regime offers the best balance for Irish-American cuisine!

North Coast Repertory Theatre to mark 30th season with eight shows By Diana Saenger Marking 30 years as an entertainment organization is a milestone and one David Ellenstein, artistic director of the North Coast Repertory Theatre, is proud to celebrate. Since 1982, the nonprofit theater has entertained audiences with nearly every genre of story, and has managed to stay relevant and vibrant in a county alive with prestigious theater. With no enormous budget for productions, no lengthy staff rosDavid ter or list of operellenstein ating improvements, North Coast Rep has maintained steady attendance through its choice of timely, engaging plays. The 30th season has just been announced and looks to be as exciting as ever. Ellenstein and Jay Sarno, 1st Vice President, Board of Trustees for North Coast Rep, answered some questions about its state of affairs and hopes for expansion. Q. Did the past season suffer any because of the economy? Ellenstein: Not at all. Q. What are your goals for
the new season? Ellenstein: To create the best theater we ever have, increase attendance and contributed income, and draw new audiences. Q. Are there any special plans for the 30th year anniversary? Ellenstein: We are producing “The Lion In Winter,” a play from Season One to honor the anniversary. There will also be a 30th Anniversary kick-off party. Q. How are your one- and two-night only offerings doing? Ellenstein: For the most part, extremely well. With a mix of comedy, music, film-noir and standout productions, we aimed for audience diversification. We’re using our dark nights to present alternative entertainment with a different appeal than our main stage shows. Q. How is the community responding to kids’ camp? Ellenstein: Great. The attendance is growing every year. We’re looking forward to our best yet. Q. How do you hope the community perceives NCRT? Ellenstein: As a top quality professional theater. Not a community theater, but a theater for the community that puts on
world-class intimate productions. Q. What is the theater’s annual budget? Sarno: $1.65 million. Q. How are the plans for a new theater progressing? Sarno: It’s still a dream we plan on achieving. The staff and management are looking forward to the day when North Coast Rep can move into a new home where the work of the theater can flourish. n Ellenstein message at northcoastrep.org: North Coast Repertory Theatre has been offered a ground lease on which to build a new home in the Lomas Santa Fe Shopping Plaza. American Assets Inc., which owns the property, is proposing a major renovation of the entire center. As a result of this alternative, North Coast Rep is withdrawing from the Cedros Crossing Train Station Redevelopment Project. We are very excited about this new opportunity and are looking forward to working with American Assets and the City of Solana Beach to build our new two-theater complex. The new building will be built in the parking area near our existing space.

Did you know? n In 1982, North Coast Rep’s founders, Tom Blakistone, an engineer and small-business entrepreneur, and his wife Olive were celebrating his retirement with a cruise to the Caribbean. Prior to their departure they had presented a business plan to the owner of a Tom and Olive mall in Solana Blakistone Beach to locate a new theater on his property. Just before they left on their trip, they learned their proposal had been accepted and instead of retiring, they found themselves embarking on totally new careers. n Since opening, North Coast Rep has continued to provide an everincreasing level of professionalism within each production. Initially an all-volunteer community theater, North Coast Rep now operates under an Actors’ Equity contract.

Mother/daughter program aims to boost tween self-esteem By Karen Billing Jamie Dicken is doing all she can to help other mothers find balance and encourage tween-age girls to be healthy and happy. Her mother/daughter yoga program, “Believe In She,” aims to boost self-confidence and strengthen the bonds between moms and their girls. Not yet a year-old, the organization’s classes in Solana Beach and La Jolla have been filling up and its March 3 event, Party for a Purpose, raised $7,500 for City of Hope, a non-profit that supports cancer, diabetes and AIDS research. “I know that I’m making a difference, that a need is there,” said Dicken, who also works as vice-president of a digital media company. The La Jolla native moved to Carmel Valley 11 years ago. She said the “Believe In She” movement really started when she began to take her longtime yoga habit more seriously. At age 40, she started looking at what she wanted for the next stage of her life and began training to become a certified yoga in-

It was around this time that her daughter, Juliette, approached her tween years. “I was watching my daughter and I just saw this shift in her when she turned 10,” Dicken said. “Suddenly my confident, beautiful, amazing daughter was hiding in big sweatshirts … not making eye contact with adults … and I would listen to her friends say things like ‘I’m fat,’ and ‘I’m not smart.’ ” Dicken said she realized that yoga had done so much to keep her life balanced and centered — why couldn’t that work for 10-year-old girls as well? Through her research she
discovered that a young woman’s self-esteem peaks at age 9 and then “takes a nose dive.” Dicken was determined to do something to shift that self-esteem cycle. She became a certified life coach and started “Believe In She” in October 2010. “Believe in She” is divided into four, eight-week sessions that explore topics like body, voice and power. The classes include 45 minutes of mother/daughter yoga, led by both Jamie and Juliette, as Juliette was also certified as a yoga instructor for ages 8-13. The class also includes 30 minutes of discussion on issues like body image, friendships, and healthy choices, to really allow a mother/ daughter bond to strengthen. Then each class is capped with a 15-20 minute art project — in one class the girls made eye pillows using socks filled with rice. Another big part of “Believe In She” is journaling. The girls are prompted to write about what they are grateful for or what their dreams are. They learn movements that help ex-
“Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox,” 7 p.m. March 18; and 2 p.m. March 19 (ASLinterpreted show) and 2 p.m. March 20. The play follows the vain attempts of three farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean — one fat, one short, one lean — to get rid of the fox who regularly steals food from their farms. Outwitted at every turn, the farmers’ ploys backfire. The Fantastic Mr. Fox devises a plan that will ensure full stomachs for not only his family, but also all of his friends, who celebrate with a sumptuous feast. It is suitable for all ages.
Jr. Theatre stages ‘Spelling Bee,’ ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ Undy run to help Six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who fight colon cancer barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser in the San Diego Jr. Theatre’s production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” 7 p.m. March 17 and 19 at Casa del Prado Theatre in Balboa Park. Recommended for ages 12 and older, this hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst chronicles the experience of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. It’s a quirky cast of characters for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.

press what they are feeling, like headstands when they feel joyful, and breathing poses for when they are more contemplative. The journals also provide them with a “dumping ground” for releasing their thoughts and feelings. “I teach the girls to be able to really let out all their emotions when they feel they can’t talk to anyone else about it,” Dicken said. The girls also learn to set
their daily intentions, such as intuition, “I am heard”; and compassion, “I am loved.” “Believe In She” has a special necklace that moms and daughters can wear — they pick the jewel that symbolizes that intention and lock it into the heart of their necklace for a reminder throughout the day. Two series of classes are running right now at Akasha Yoga in La Jolla and the Center for a Healthy Life-
style at the Solana Beach Boys and Girls Club. Another class had a waiting list. Dicken is also planning a girls’ leadership camp for the summer and her son, Spencer, is already pushing for a “Believe In He.” The best part about “Believe In She” personally, said Dicken, was that it enabled her to find her daughter again. Through the program, Juliette has gained confidence to lead discussions and yoga, and at the Party for a Purpose event, Juliette spoke in front of a room full of people when before, she sometimes couldn’t look people in the eye. “I was so proud of her,” said Dicken. “She walks tall, she wears clothes that fit her, and she’s so confident and happy … I really created this program for my daughter, but if I’m able to help a wider group of girls, then it will be more successful than I ever imagined. “And if I’m able to start a movement to help girls all over shift that self-esteem cycle, it would be a dream come true.”
Researchers seek men for prostate cancer study at UCSD The vegetables most boys wanted to avoid in childhood (such as kale and broccoli) just may be the answer to staving off prostate cancer growth in adulthood. A new clinical trial at UCSD Moores Cancer Center will evaluate whether or not a change in diet, reinforced with telephone counseling and exercise, can stop or delay the progression of prostate cancer. Eligible participants are males up to 80 years old, who have been diagnosed with non-aggressive prostate cancer within the last two years, are in the early stages, and have not yet received treatment of any kind. For more information, call (858) 822-2895. Participants in the Men’s Eating and Living (MEAL) Study will eat at least seven servings of colorful, strongflavored produce per day, with an emphasis on
cruciferous vegetables and tomato products, as well as whole grains, beans or other legumes, and fruit. “Ours is the first study to focus on changing the entire lifestyle rather than just giving the participants a supplement pill,” said J. Kellogg Parsons, M.D., M.H.S., urologic oncologist
at Moores Cancer Center. “We focus on more vegetables, less meat, and comprehensive counseling which encourages a more active lifestyle. Evidence in previous studies suggests that a diet high in vegetable intake and low in meat and fat intake may decrease the risk of prostate cancer progressing or even beginning.” Approximately 100,000 men are diagnosed with early stage, low-risk prostate cancer every year in the United States. In general, low-risk prostate cancer is a slow-growing disease and many of these men may not require immediate treatment. Unnecessarily aggressive treatment — with surgery or radiation — diminishes quality of life for thousands of men each year. Researchers see an opportunity to refine treatment paradigms within this patient population.

Pui Ching grads hold reunion at La Jolla retirement community By Theresa LaTosh Because there are almost as many Pui Ching alumni in North America as there are in China, La Jolla resident Joe Wu offered to host the U.S. members of the prominent Hong Kong school here in San Diego for their 59th class reunion. And so on March 10, the class of 1952 toured the city and Balboa Park by bus, and then returned to Wu’s home at Vi for cocktails, ending their reunion in style. Next year, for their 60th reunion, the classmates plan to go back to Hong Kong to visit their alma mater — known for excellence in math and physical sciences. Many Pui Ching alumni in North America are scientists, engineers, doctors and professors — there is even a Nobel Prize winner among them, physicist Dr. Daniel Tsui, and a Fields Medal winner, mathematician Dr. Shing-Tung Yao. Almost half of Hong Kong’s university presidents are Pui Ching alumni. Vi at La Jolla Village boasts three Pui Ching graduates, but not all from the class of 1952. Having the UCSD campus less than two miles from Vi allows its residents to continue their intellectual pursuits. Many attend Osher Life Long Learning classes on campus or belong to groups like the San Diego Independent Scholars that meet at the faculty club. “We like to entertain groups like the Pui Ching Class Reunion because it reinforces our commitment to always finding new ways to help our residents stay engaged with activities that benefit their well-being,” said Stephanie Boudreau, executive director.
Members of the Pui Ching class of 1952 pose at Vi in La Jolla during their 59th class reunion festivities.

The fastest way to sell your home is the local newspaper... NOT the Internet, Facts and research says Home-Selling the La Jolla Light: 78% of the “home buyer pool” is local and successful agents use papers to attract the best leads— while the Internet is best used in a “support” role The biggest problem with listing your home on the internet is this...the internet is huge! It would take hours to find all the available listings of homes for sale in this town—if you could even find them all...which you can’t. This is no doubt why Borrell Associates, the nationally known research firm reports that 66% of Americans rely on their local newspaper to buy and sell their homes, compared with only 20% using the internet.
