Let kids be kids

Local parenting author says parents should stop programming their children

As summer weeks wane and parents scramble to fill empty hours with play dates, activities and excursions, Dr. Richard Farson, La Jolla parenting and marriage author — and father of five — has two words of advice: “Lay off.”

Now that the San Diego Association of Governments board has approved a trolley extension from Old Town to UCSD/UTC, environmental work is expected to begin, leading to a draft environmental impact report possibly in the summer of 2011.

n his new book, “Will All Parenting Experts Please Leave the Room,” Farson argues that today’s parents’ efforts to micromanage and protect their children ultimately hinder their development.

“Twenty or 30 years ago, the word ‘parenting’ didn’t exist in common parlance,” Farson said. “Instead, there was ‘parenthood,’ which meant the state of being a parent. ‘Parent’ doesn’t mean you’re a raiser of children, it means you’re a producer of children.”

The idea that parents can learn a set of skills that will make their children successful, he added, is misguided and forces parents to assume excessive responsibility.

“When you give people a responsibility for a situation in which they are essentially helpless, it predictably leads to abuse,” he said. “It doesn’t lead to compassion.”

He said he believes child abuse is a major problem in modern American society.

Farson argues that despite a falling crime rate, an increased focus on abductions, accidental deaths and myriad other potential catastrophes have produced an epidemic of fear.

“As far as I know, La Jolla is not exempt from the general feeling that children need to be protected,” Farson said, noting that many local playgrounds have been stripped of what might be deemed dangerous features. “I’m sure it’s considered a great

new advancement, but it keeps children from doing anything very exciting.”

This fear, he continued, has forced families into isolation and eroded a sense of community.

“Parents are increasingly alone in raising their children,” he said.

“When I was a child, strangers would take care of children and button our jackets, wipe our noses, tie our shoes and push us on the swings.

Now, parents drive their children a few yards to the bus stop.”

Walking down Girard Avenue when he arrived in La Jolla in 1955 was nothing like it is today, he said.

La Jolla musician celebrates 40 years of rock ’n’ roll legacy

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS “It’s always been in my bones to be a performer,” said Jocko Marcellino, drummer for vintage rock group Sha Na Na and a La Jolla resident for the last 15 years.

This year, Sha Na Na celebrates its 40th anniversary with the release of its latest collector’s edition compilation CD. Tonight at 7:30 p.m., the group will perform with the San Diego Symphony at Summer Pops in an eclectic blend of orchestral charts with classic doo-wop hits from the 1950s and 1960s. The show takes place at Embarcadero Marina Park South and tickets can be purchased for $17-$76 at (619) 235-0804 or www.sandiegosymphony.org.

As a freshman at Columbia University, Marcellino juggled his coursework with practices and performances for “six or seven different bands” while

also playing for the school’s football team, he said.

“Then one of those bands became Sha Na Na,” he said.

The band carved out a niche for performing rock ’n’ roll from the 1955 to 1962 era and produced original music as well.

The following summer, Sha Na Na received the “unbelievable” opportunity to perform at the 1969 Woodstock music festival in New York.

“We were one of the only bands there without a record deal,” Marcellino said. “We spent all weekend trying to get onstage and after three days, we thought it might not happen.”

Finally, just after dawn on Monday morning, the group performed second to last before Jimi Hendrix concluded the festival.

“We did a 40-minute set and luckily, it was SEE SHA NA NA, Page 2

Metropolitan Transit Service trolleys will serve the University of San Diego, California and the University Towne Centre as soon as 2015 following a unanimous decision by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) board July 23 to approve one of three proposed routes for the extension.

The board upheld a recommendation to select light rail transit Alternative 1, which would extend service “north from Old Town Transit Center along the existing rail corridor just east of I-5, cross over I-5 south of Nobel Drive continuing to serve UCSD, then cross to the east side of I-5 at or near Voigt Drive and head south along Genesee Avenue to a transit center at University Towne Centre,” according to SANDAG officials.

Anne Steinberger, marketing manager for SANDAG, said the 11-mile extension will cost $1.2 billion and is expected to serve an additional 20,000 riders per day. Currently, around 100,000 people ride the trolley daily.

In a series of public meetings, SANDAG officials gathered public feedback regarding three potential extension options. Steinberger said Alternative 1 received the most favorable feedback, with unanimous support from the University City Planning Group.

Another option, Alternative 3, would have cut through Rose Canyon. Alternative 6 would not extend as far north and would have included sharp curves.

“We had a lot of public feedback to stay out of Rose Canyon,” Steinberger said.

Now that the project has gained the SANDAG board’s approval, Steinberger said, the environmental review process can begin.

“The review is expected to take a year and we plan to release a draft document in summer of 2011,” she said. “We will look at the impacts of this route as they pertain to noise, SEE TROLLEY, Page 2

filmed,” Marcellino said.

The footage was later included in the 1970 “Woodstock” documentary.

“Instantly, we had world recognition,” Marcellino said.

“I remember looking over the hillside at all the campfires and the twinkling lights and realizing how important this all was,” Marcellino said, recalling the festival.

Later, Sha Na Na appeared in the hit musical “Grease” as the band Johnny Casino and the Gamblers, and the group starred in its own television show during the late 1970s.

Amid the whirlwind of the group’s rising fame, Marcellino stayed committed to his education and completed his degree,

said. “You used to be able to walk into an ice cream parlor or the barber shop or laundromat and run into people you know.

Now the chances of that are somewhat restricted.”

Farson speculated that La Jolla might be more susceptible than other communities to what he called the “soccer mom situation.”

“La Jolla is probably more likely to have parents programming their children because we have more money here and we can afford more,” he said. “We won’t let them play in the streets or in vacant lots, climb trees and ride their bikes places.”

To encourage academic success or instill other positive qualities, Farson said that

like most of his bandmates. “Sometimes I’d hire somebody to go tape the lectures,” he said. “Then I had to read all the material and write brilliant term papers. It was very rewarding.”

After graduating from Columbia, Marcellino pursued a master’s degree in drama and theater.

“It was associated with what I wanted to do, and New York was a great place to be,” he said.

Sha Na Na still plays about 50 shows

each year, Marcellino said, down from the 180 per year the group used to play at its peak.

“Until I can’t do it anymore or the audience doesn’t want it, I guess I’ll keep rocking,” he said.

Meanwhile, he enjoys downtime in La Jolla, walking his dog, lunching at outdoor cafes and spending time with his Realtor wife, Nicki.

“La Jolla is such a beautiful village,” he said. “We are so lucky to be here.”

setting an example matters more than active teaching. He argued that children who see their parents reading are more likely to become avid readers.

“It’s not what you do,” he said. “It’s who you are that will make the difference.

While you can make a child wear a sweater, when it comes to anything really important like learning or loving or being honest or truthful, you can’t control that.

You have to demonstrate it through the relationship you develop.”

The key to developing that relationship, he added, is quality time.

“Real quality time isn’t going to Disneyland or getting a giant hot fudge sundae,” he said. “It’s just knowing of each other’s presence, counting on each other, taking risks, scolding them if you need to and knowing you can make up after.”

Beyond the basic principle of backing

off and giving children free reign, Farson declined to offer more solid pearls of wisdom.

“I don’t position myself as an advice giver,” Farson said. “I think when you give people advice, it backfires. Dr. Spock was no better at raising his son than you or I would be.”

As for his own brood?

“I’ve been tremendously fortunate with my own children,” he said. “I’ve had the normal experiences, but I’ve been lucky.

Many times, these things are just luck.”

Farson holds a Ph.D. in psychology and currently serves as the president of the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute. A longtime advocate for women’s and children’s rights, he has also recently authored “Will All Marriage Experts Please Leave the Room,” which explores the paradoxes within modern marriage.

visual and biological effects.”

Meanwhile, SANDAG also plans to start the process for requesting funding from the Federal Transit Administration. The application must be submitted by November and could be approved by February of next year.

The group will begin design and preliminary engineering activities once the environmental review is completed, Steinberger said.

“This extension of the trolley system has been on the book since 1987,” Steinberger said. “It’s anticipated to be a real asset to the community. It gives access to one of the main universities and job centers.”

She said construction would also provide employment opportunities.

Because the extension will be to the north, Steinberger said existing trolley services should continue relatively uninterrupted.

“It’s expected to be minimal at this point,” she said.

This map shows the planned extension of the Metropolitan Transit Service trolleys from the Old Town Transit Center north to the University of California, San Diego and the University Towne Center, beginning around 2015.

Tori Spelling to visit Warwick’s

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS As a symbol of new Hollywood, Tori Spelling has made a career out of the absurdities that arise from trying to live a normal life in the public eye.

Spelling will visit Warwick’s Books, 7812 Girard Ave., on July 31 at 2 p.m. to sign copies of her new book, “uncharted terriTORI,” which chronicles her latest adventures in balancing family life with the whole w o r l d watching.

From stalking herself on Twitter to discovering former 92010 cast mates’ “I Hate Tori” club, battling swine flu and contacting Farrah Fawcett from the dead, Spelling proves there is a rarely a dull moment on the road to self-discovery.

On a more serious note, Spelling also confronts media scrutiny over her weight, her marriage to Dean McDermott and domestic disputes

with Dean’s ex-wife and her own mother.

“I’ve come to accept that the small moments in my life, my relationship, my family, my business ventures — usually in edited, broadcast form — are a spectacle. My life is a show,” Spelling writes in “uncharted terriTORI.” Amid the chaos, Spelling uses unconventional tactics to create what she calls her own happy ending.

Spelling is not expected to deliver any remarks or hold a discussion at Warwick’s.

Visitors must have purchased a copy of “uncharted terriTORI” from Warwick’s in order to get in line for the signing. The store will remain open for business during the event. For more information or to check for any changes, visit www.warwicks.com or call (858) 454-0347.

Community members across San Diego County are taking an active role in helping the Neighborhood House Association (NHA) achieve its mission of developing children, families and future leaders of our community. In these tough economic times, community members have continued to support one of San Diego’s oldest nonprofit organizations by contributing countless service hours. More than 1,000 volunteers in the past year have devoted their time and efforts to helping those in need. Volunteers continue to make NHA “a neighbor you can count on.”

For nearly 100 years, NHA has helped thousands of individuals and families in San Diego County improve their quality of life by providing vital social services such as employment, healthcare, childcare, family and senior services. Community involvement is the key to enabling the agency to provide these services and without the voluntary support from individuals, clubs and organizations, NHA could not serve the thousands of families each year that utilize any one of its10 different programs and services. The additional service hours provided by these volunteers play a vital role in maintaining successful operations at nearly 100 facilities throughout the county.

However, NHA is not the only one reaping the benefits. Many devoted volunteers are learning exactly how good it feels to give back to their neighbors in need.

Gwendolyn Miller, one of the agency’s most dedicated volunteers, has been donating her time to NHA’s Senior Service Center since 2006. Seventy-four year old Miller says she volunteers because “volunteering gives me an insight into things and allows me to use myself to really help others. It also gives me an opportunity to interact with my peers and show them that even though we are aging, that doesn’t mean we are old.”

College student Christian Limon says his days stocking and delivering food to the public for NHA’s Emergency Services program helped him gain the experience he needed to land his first full-time job. “NHA is a great place. It’s what helped me to get my job now. I owe everything to the Neighborhood House!”

With a variety of programs and services offered through NHA, chances are NHA has a volunteer opportunity that may benefit you. Whether it’s working with preschool children or seniors, helping people get access to health care or helping families buy their first home, NHA has a way for everyone to give back to the community.

To learn more about NHA’s current volunteer opportunities and how to become part of the legacy, visit www.neighborhoodhouse.org or call 858-244-8234.

Seal activist and Animal Protection & Rescue League attorney Bryan Pease said Judge Jeffrey Barton “clearly thought there was something there that warranted further looking at.”

If the tentative denial is upheld, Pease said the activists might pursue a motion to reconsider.

“There’s no question in anybody’s mind that [the rope barrier] will be approved eventually,” he said. “The mayor is refusing to replace the rope barrier on an emergency basis in the meantime.”

Pease said he believed that the park ranger, who began supervising the area in early July, helps mediate contact between human and seals but is not present enough to solve the problem.

“He has been helpful when seals are on the beach with asking people to keep a safe distance, but he’s just not there all the time,” Pease said. “When he’s not there, people go right back up to the seals and the harassment continues.”

“It’s a long process,” she said.

The Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, owns the property and leased it to the current lessees with the understanding that the lessees are responsible for creating a surface parking lot on that property to help provide more parking in La Jolla Village.

“In order to do so, they need to relocate the houses,” Lia said.

The process of finding an appropriate relocation site has continued since 2001.

The lessees hope to implement the relocation and rehabilitate the properties to produce a single-family home with a guest house and a garage “in a manner that meets the National Park Service standards for relocation of historical homes and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation,” Lia said.

Lia said the lessees, who she added are “experienced developers,” plan to then sell the home “for an amount that will yield them a return on this investment.”

“The end result is that the needed increase in public parking for the Village and the long term preservation and protection to two historical resources will be accomplished without any cost to the taxpayers,” Lia said.

NEWS Group seeks to expand proposed marine reserve in South La Jolla

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS The oceans of south La Jolla are home to a richly diverse and flourishing ecosystem, but environmental groups fear its populations are declining because of overfishing, climate change and habitat destruction.

San Diego Coastkeeper, an environmental group dedicated to protecting regional waters, is working with scientists, elected officials, policy advisors and other stakeholders throughout the state to designate an area in south La Jolla as a marine reserve to help restore the abundance of wildlife in that area.

The proposed reserve, however, starts just south of Windansea Beach and presently includes only seven square miles of coastline and ocean territory.

Coastkeeper has launched an online petition to increase the reserve by an additional two square miles to most effectively protect and restore the area.

“We would ideally like to see a 9square-mile reserve that extends the full scope of the habitats in order to reap the maximum ecological benefits,” said Kate Hanley, director of Coastkeeper’s Marine Conservation Initiative.

The California Fish and Game Commission will make final decisions about which areas to protect later this year. Meanwhile, Hanley is urging the public to sign the

petition as a display of solidarity.

“It’s important that elected officials and the Department of Fish and Game are aware of the large community support behind this idea,” Hanley said.

The marine protected area (MPA) would form part of a large network of reserves along the California coastline as mandated under the 1999 Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA), the first state law of its kind. San Diego Coastkeeper has worked with nearly 100 other parties to design the southern California collection of MPAs, which stretch from Point Conception in Santa Barbara to the U.S.Mexico border.

“South La Jolla is a phenomenal area in terms of biological richness and habitat, as well as ecological importance,” Hanley said. “When we’re looking at which areas we would want to be considered for protection, we want to get the biggest bang for our buck in terms of ecology.”

The area’s kelp forests, rocky reefs and deep canyons provide food and shelter for a variety of species, she added.

The plan for south La Jolla is a modified marine protected area that includes part marine reserve and part state marine conservation area.

“The marine reserve means extractions are prohibited,” Hanley said. “In the state marine conservation area, recreational fishing is allowed.”

Hanley said that prohibiting “extraction” activities, such as fishing

in some areas, was crucial to restoring and maintaining a healthy habitat.

“We know south La Jolla is a great habitat and has potential to yield a lot of marine life,” she said. “If you stop extraction activities in select parts, you’ll see ecological benefits like bigger and more plentiful fish, and a spillover effect where more fish will swim outside of the reserve.”

Hanley said swimming, surfing, scuba diving, kayaking and other recreational activities would still be permitted, and even encouraged in the reserve area.

“We want to stress that we’re not closing down ocean access for recreational activities,” Hanley said. “One of the goals of the MPA is to improve recreational activities in the ocean.

I’m a diver, and I’m really looking forward to diving these marine reserves the next few years and see some phenomenally big fish. It will be rewarding to see firsthand what our work helped to protect.”

Hanley said similar reserve areas have been implemented across the globe, from New Zealand and Australia to other areas within the U.S. “After five-year studies, the growth is really off the charts,” she said.

“There’s a greater abundance of wildlife and more numerous species.

It’s like a biological savings account, and the interest is where we see the benefits.”

History comes alive with La Jolla author’s book

BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS When Linda Pequegnat enjoys the view of La Jolla Shores from the second story of her home on Paseo del Ocaso, she thinks: Feb. 21, 1926.

“It was the day La Jolla Shores residential development celebrated its opening day,” she said. “Almost 10,000 people came and 120 lots were sold at $2,000 each.”

Pequegnat wasn’t a face in the crowd that day. She is the author of “This Day in San Diego History,” published by Sunbelt Publications in 2009. The book features a historical narrative pertaining to San Diego for each day in the year, with about 60 relevant to La Jolla specifically.

A conversation with Pequegnat is like referencing an encyclopedia or perusing a scrapbook of local lore.

From the day the two brothers bought the first pieces of land in “La Joya” as it was spelled on Feb, 27, 1869, to the moment San Diego experienced its first television broadcast — thanks to a transmitter crowning Mount Soledad on May 16, 1949 — there is little left of La Jolla’s past that Pequegnat has not unearthed.

Born in southern Indiana, Pequegnat first moved to La Jolla in 1954 as a graduate student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography where she received her master’s degree.

“I rented a little apartment in the Shores for $100 a month, which seemed high at the time,” she said. “I used to walk along the beach every day to get to my classes at Scripps.

That’s when I first fell in love with La Jolla.”

Pequegnat then moved to Texas with her husband, who got a teaching position at Texas A&M University.

Pequegnat earned her Ph.D. in biological oceanography from the same university and the couple spent the next two decades researching marine life in the Gulf of Mexico. Finally, 20 years later, they returned to La Jolla.

“Being away from the place I loved so much inspired me to study and learn more about it,” she said.

Despite her background, Peqeuegnat didn’t want to research for her book in a traditional fashion.

Instead, she spent a total of seven or eight years compiling dates and stories into a collection of overflowing notebooks, before the project was

ready for compilation.

“I did it backwards,” she said.

“Whenever I saw a month, date and a year together, I wrote it down.”

When she finally finished, Pequegnat said she had amassed five or six stories for some dates. She then selected her favorites.

“It was a labor of love,” she said.

La Jolla’s notable historical figures, especially local philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps and her half-sister, Virginia, adopt fresh personalities through Pequegnat’s eyes.

“Ellen was very serious and staid, and she did so many wonderful things for the community,” Pequegnat said.

“Then there was Virginia. She was a character. She was a little wild.”

Pequegnat said she inherited her passion for history from her mother, who moved to France at age 68 to research the family’s genealogy.

“My mother was very daring,” she said. “I was an only child and she would tell me whatever she was thinking. I learned about history by osmosis.”

Local history holds a special appeal for Pequegnat because of its relevance to daily life and the small details that make a community.

“Knowing what happened in the past is so important to being able to appreciate where you live,” she said.

“This Day In San Diego History” was a finalist in the “Local Interest” category at the 2009 San Diego Book Awards and is available for purchase at Warwick’s Books, 7812 Girard Ave., or on Amazon.com.

What to Do to Avoid Sibling Problems When Caring for Mom Today, due in part, to blended families, the principles of family life that you believe in may no longer be valid. But because our parents are living longer and we still want to be connected, siblings are probably the most important part of the care giving structure. In Francine Russo’s book, “They’re Your Parents, Too: How Siblings Can Survive Their Parents Aging Without Driving Each Other Crazy,” she describes the “anger/guilt gridlock” that can cause great challenges for siblings in their efforts to help Mom and Dad. Part of this stems from the assumption that the siblings don’t need to discuss what they’re going to do for their parents because they will just know. A healthy relationship with your brothers and sisters requires respect, trust, reciprocity, affection and being able to disagree without passing judgment. How can the children work together to care for their parents, even if they can’t share the same exact responsibilities? Here are some tips to consider: Talk to each other and your parents before a crisis to learn about powers of attorney, living wills and long term care insurance. Ask your parents what they want, don’t assume and get it in writing. Deal with the most immediate issues first, such as safety. Get everyone involved in the decision making process. Stay in touch and apprised of any changes through emails or telephone. Realize and accept that there will be differences of opinions. Don’t accuse, try to reach a consensus for your parent’s sake. Get help from eldercare experts The RN Geriatric Care Managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants can help you with a thorough plan of action.

Rotary Club celebrates 20th Cheers For Charity event

BY BRETT MOREY | SPECIAL TO

VILLAGE NEWS

Imagine a fabulous event that could take you back to the 1960s, an era when the Sands Resort in Las Vegas displayed the biggest names in entertainment. Fine wines from more than a dozen vineyards, beer and spirits from more than a dozen more microbreweries and distilleries and some of San Diego’s finest cuisine adorned the historic Naval Training Center overlooking San Diego’s waterfront and the tune of “Night & Day” compelled you to look for Ol’ Blue Eyes himself. San Diego Magazine added the 20th annual La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club Cheers for Charity to the “A-List” of June events and more than 450 attendees enjoyed a “Night With the Rat Pack” at the McMillin Event Center, Liberty Station on June 12.

Posters of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and others provided the backdrop and music and dancing took center stage.

Net proceeds from the Cheers For Charity event exceeded $81,000. The annual wine and beer tasting event is the single largest fundraiser of the year for the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club.

“A huge part of our success is due to our underwriters and vendors” said Sandi Rimer, event chair.

The Rotary Club raises funds to support more than 40 local nonprofit organizations and global initiatives that include water well projects, eradication of polio and the Rotary school of Jalalabad, Afghanistan.

Auction items included an eight-night stay for 16 guests at a castle in France, fine wines including a fivebottle vertical of Opus One, dining gift certificates, vacation retreats, artwork and an Apple iPad. Without the support of the following VIP sponsors, the event would not have been such a resounding success: Pacific Western Bank, Technology Integration Group (TIG) and Torrey

The date for next year’s event has been selected as May 7, 2011. The theme for next year’s event has not been determined, however, the creative team of more than 20 dedicated volunteers is working hard to create another memorable evening.

La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club is an organization of more than 100 men and women, united in fellowship to provide humanitarian service and build goodwill locally and globally. Chartered in 1986, this Rotary Club has completed dozens of projects to improve health, well-being and self-sufficiency in our community and abroad. Recent success includes: Operation Pendleton (refurbished barracks and meeting facilities at Camp Pendleton Marine Base); Afghanistan (built schools and computer centers); South Africa (water projects and healthcare for AIDS orphans).

GUEST COMMENTARY

SDHHSA: When heat is on, check on elderly, disabled neighbors With temperatures beginning to reach the 90s to 100s in inland valleys and foothills, the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency (SDHHSA) reminds the public to take some precautions, and keep an eye on elderly and disabled relatives and neighbors to make sure they’re keeping cool.

“Seniors with limited mobility, as well as the disabled and ill, are especially vulnerable to high temperatures,” said Dean Sidelinger, M.D., M.S.Ed., county deputy public health officer. “If they can’t cool off at home, take them to a cool zone or mall or other air-conditioned location.”

The HHSA’s Aging and Independence Services’ Cool Zone program offers more than 100 locations for anyone to beat the heat. For information, call the toll-free numbers (800) 5102020 or 2-1-1. A list of cool zone sites and tips for staying cool are on the county’s website: http://bit.ly/bFtZ12.

The public is also reminded to never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles for any period of time — even with the windows down — as heat can rise to dangerous levels inside vehicles.

Heat exhaustion is marked by weakness, nausea, vomiting, headache and muscle aches. To treat heat exhaustion, cool the victim off quickly and provide water or diluted sports drinks like Gatorade. Signs of heat stroke include lack of sweating, rapid pulse, headache, nausea, confusion and even unconsciousness. If someone is suffering from heat stroke, call 9-1-1, loosen or remove the victim’s clothing, and spray or pour water on their skin.

You can listen without really hearing what a person says and means. Hearing is optional in the world of partisan websites and pouncing pundits. Will a real listener stand up and be counted in today’s world of rapid rumors growing larger than the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico?

Active listening is a dying art.

According to Dr. Jim Wyrtzen, a retired pastoral psychotherapist, “It is important to lay aside your judgments, biases and beliefs to hear what the other person(s) is communicating.” How does that work when the media men and women are so far left and so far right that news is no longer sharing objective information but sharing pure spin? Acolytes of these media messiahs only listen to the viewpoint the follower engages in.

Bias is belief, and hearing someone out has been relegated to the pile of dinosaur bones because 24hour cable news, Photoshop and Internet access rule the world of news. Ask yourself if you lay aside biases and hear what another person is really communicating.

“Pay attention to what is happening in you and what that may say about you and about the other persons(s)” is the next bit of advice from Wyrtzen. What’s happening inside is a spike in blood pressure, a throbbing artery in the neck, a fisttightening cry of when-is-thisdude-gonna-be-done attitude. That is what is happening inside the typical 2010 listener who waits to pounce like an owl seeing a field mouse within reach.

“Find the part of you that can identify and then go beyond identification to view this in a more objective, larger context, (which you may or may not share with the person(s),” seems to be the answer to good communication. People talk about empathy, but, in truth, it is very hard to practice empathy

SANDY LIPPE where you walk in someone else’s moccasins.

Hey, doc, can these ideas be implemented in our changing world? Taking snippets of conversations out of context is death to truth. Who hears the opposing party anymore? Before Russ and Rachel, O’Reilly and Obermann, there were Cronkite and Murrow.

How many examples of bad listening could you list in a fiveminute period? Department of Agriculture administrator Shirley Sherrod was recently fired after the release of a highly-edited, 2minute, 45-second speech in which she said that she might not help a white farmer to the same degree she would help a black farmer. Sherrod was a victim of poor communication.

Andrew Breitbart, an Internet conservative, launched a website that Hannity and O’Reilly of Fox fame supported on the national level. Sherrod’s words were taken out of context and made her sound racist against whites. She was really talking about economic inequity, not race, and she believed that poor whites deserved the attention other minority groups got. The White House, the NCAAP, and the Agriculture Department secretary, Thomas Vilsack, had knee-jerk reactions in agreeing with Sherrod’s firing before the whole truth of her conversation came out. She received a public apology, a chance to talk to President Obama, and an opportunity for reinstatement from the agriculture department.

and opponents of the bridge seem to have little interest in Wyrtzen’s suggestions on how to communicate well. A huge turnout at City Hall found neighbors deeply divided over the topic when the Land Use and Planning Committee met last month on June 23 to rescind the design contract voted on Nov. 5, 2007. The vote was 3-1 against funding a new environmental impact report and design contract.

University City is home to a tightly-knit group of people who have worked together to make the community more than a neighborhood.

However, the Regents Road bridge topic has engendered an uncivil war in the community with a communication breakdown and anger. Perhaps it is the almost-four-decades of debating the bridge that is cause for the rupture in good communication. Both sides feel a sense of frustration. A certain enmity exists between opposing groups of people who once may have shared friendships and activities with the other side. It is a shame that people can’t hear the other side without railing against the other side’s view.

La Jolla Village News has been an open forum on the editorial page for supporters and dissenters of the Regents Road bridge. Hopefully, advocates and opponents can sit down some day and follow Wyrtzen’s words of wisdom by having meaningful exchanges and hearing what the person is saying; monitoring feelings; having empathy for the other side. University City residents shouldn’t let the bridge topic keep people from enjoying each other’s company.

“To say that a person feels listened to means a lot more than just the ideas get heard. It’s a sign of respect. It makes people feel valued.” (Deborah Tannen) Being an active listener, someone who really hears you, is good advice for all of us.

UCSD hosts King James’ royal basketball court

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS

BY AMBERLY DRESSLER | VILLAGE NEWS Hundreds of swimmers will hit the open water Sunday, Aug. 1 as part of the La Jolla Cove Swim Club’s 12th annual Tour of Buoys Ocean Swim, beginning near the boat launch at La Jolla Shores Beach.

The event offers a 1.5- and 5-mile race. More than distance separates the two swims.

“The nice thing about swimming the mileand-a-half is that people can wear wetsuits if they are intimidated by the cold,” said event board member Bob West. “The longer is a regulation swim. It’s a hardcore, open-water swimming contest.”

West is quite familiar with the latter. He’s among an elite group of people in the world to complete the Triple Crown of Marathon Swimming — swimming the English Channel, the Catalina Channel and the Manhattan Channel. Along with nearly 40 others, he logged enough miles from mid-November to Cinco De Mayo — mainly at La Jolla Cove — to technically have reached Tahiti.

At the Tour of Buoys, West will play a different role, including starting the 200 swimmers who are expected to participate, 50 of whom plan to compete in the 5-mile race. The entrants will do two laps around yellow buoys that surround the La Jolla Ecological Reserve.

Awards will be given to the top swimmer (both male and female) in each age group, in increments of five years. The majority of participants will follow the 1.5-mile setup. The mileand-a-half participants can select either a regulation division or non-regulation division.

Swimmers of many ages will compete in the race categories. Teenagers are expected to be among the youngest swimmers, with the oldest in their late 60s. All swimmers will have one thing in common — they’ll all be club members before the start of the race.

Swimmers take off into La Jolla Cove during last year’s Tour of Buoys Ocean Swim. La Jolla Swim Club’s 12th annual event will be held Sunday, Aug. 1.

“If you are not a club member, we charge a fee of $10; and you can be a member until January,” West said.

The club requires participants to be part of the club for liability reasons. There are also additional fees for the event itself. On the day of the event, entries cost $60 for the 1.5-mile race and $70 for the 5-mile race. The fee includes lunch and T-shirts on an availability basis. In addition, each 5-mile challenger must have a kayak escort for safety precautions.

The La Jolla Cove Swim Club holds many ocean swims throughout the year, most notably the New Year’s Day ritual known as the annual Polar Bear Swim. Other social, noncompetitive club events coming up are the Halloween Spookfest Swim and the Thanksgiving Turkey Splash and Dash Swim.

The King is coming to La Jolla. LeBron James, or “King James” as he is known in basketball circles, is hosting his annual King’s Academy summer basketball camp at the University of California, San Diego beginning today, July 29, through Aug. 2.

This is the second consecutive year James has chosen to host his one and only basketball camp of the summer in La Jolla. The beautiful beaches and many leisure activities in the area have attracted campers and their families from near and far.

But campers aren’t the only ones who will enjoy the natural beauties and entertainment here. Add one of the most recognizable and more recently most provocative basketball players to the list of visitors who come here to take in the sun and surf.

James has two young sons, and he will be using the trip west as both a chance to give back to the game as well as take a good oldfashioned family vacation.

“Last year, they went to the zoo, SeaWorld and Legoland,” said camp director Damon Haley. “It’s a little different than Akron.”

This time around, James plans to spend two weeks in the area with family in tow. It’s quite likely, however, that James won’t be roughing it like actor Chevy Chase in the comedy classic “Family Vacation” films.

James has been a busy man this summer, popping up in a different city every few days amid hoopla, flashing cameras and hordes of hopeful fans. Making highly-publicized stops throughout Ohio, Connecticut, New York and Miami, James will finally reach a destination just about everyone would like to enjoy — La Jolla.

Considering James’ immense popularity, it’s not surprising that kids and parents from 37 different states and four countries will gather at

UCSD in anticipation of the reigning NBA MVP’s arrival. Although the camp is not cheap and not everyone can afford it — not too mention the limited space — James’ entourage has made an effort to dish out several spots to a lucky select few.

“The camp is a commitment he has to the youth,” Haley said. “Last year he ate with the kids in the dorms. He’s a gym rat. He loves being around the fraternity of basketball.”

If James can generate this much excitement everywhere he goes and turn Miami into a basketball hotbed, then perhaps he could someday bring an NBA team back to America’s Finest City.

with Vincent Andrunas San Diego’s oldest art gallery is the La Jolla Art Association. It began in 1918, in the home of philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. A.R. Valentien, known in the early 1900s as a leader in the California Impressionist landscape painting movement, was a charter member of LJAA. His name now adorns the fine restaurant of the Inn at Torrey Pines, as do several notable examples of his work. The association continues to foster an appreciation of the arts with cultural and educational programs for the benefit of the community and their members. The association recently hosted “Night of the Iguana,” an informal gala fundraising cocktail party with a tropical theme, which it held at its La Jolla Shores Gallery on Paseo del Ocaso. Guests gathered to support LJAA while enjoying wine and champagne, a light buffet, live music, a silent auction and the opportunity to view artworks created by LJAA members.

••• Things are really popping over at the Riford Center. Acquired in the 1960s by beautiful La Jolla philanthropist Florence Riford, the center — which she began as a bridge club — has become a popular adult learning center. Lately, they’ve been on a campaign to attract more adults of all ages to become members. Their many activities have recently included a preFourth of July barbecue, a trip to the Pageant of the Masters, and regularlyscheduled classes covering such things

as yoga, jazzercise, dance, French, driver improvement, cooking, computers, investments, painting, bridge and many other subjects. A trip to the J. Paul Getty Museum is coming up and will include both the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades. Ambitious plans are also in the works for future group tours to Europe.

Their recent fundraising party, “An Afternoon at the Riford,” drew a large crowd to the center’s La Jolla Boulevard facility on a day with truly perfect weather. Wines were served, a buffet offered a range of attractive foods and a two-piece group provided live music. There were live and silent auctions, tours of the campus and an art exhibition featuring the works of 25 local artists. Linda Masters chaired the event, with Sally and John Thornton serving as honorary hosts.

The Riford has been undergoing many substantial improvements to its facility, and now sports a beautiful new kitchen.

An extensive makeover of the central courtyard is in the works. Construction will soon begin, involving re-landscaping, paving with tiles, fountains and various other improvements. Numerous naming opportunities will be available for contributors to this nonprofit organization, which is becoming an increasingly important asset to the La Jolla community.

ccording to La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley, his current production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was conceived in a dream of his own. Though it is indeed a feverish dream, the images are extraordinary, and result in one of the most magical “Dreams” in this writer’s experience.

Ashley’s other inspiration was to collaborate with composer Mark Bennett, who calls upon Felix Mendelssohn’s familiar and not-so-familiar incidental music for the play and scores it and his own original music for members of the San Diego Youth Symphony (plus alumni and four members of American Federation of Musicians, Local 325). One particularly familiar section of Mendelssohn’s work is hilariously choreographed for the ensemble of fairies/house servants and the acting com-

pany, and when everything returns from topsy-turvy in the forest near Athens and the couples are all properly matched up again, we hear the familiar strains of the “Wedding March.”

Meanwhile, to the story: Egeus (Jonathan McMurtry) picks Demetrius (Sean Mahon) to be his daughter Hermia’s (Amelia Campbell) husband. She, however, prefers Lysander (Tim Hopper). At the Athenian Court, King Theseus (Daniel Oreskes, who also plays fairy king Oberon) decrees that Hermia will obey her father’s command; she has two choices then: to die or to abjure the company of men for the rest of her life. In siding with Egeus, Theseus incurs the wrath of his fiancée, Hippolyta (Charlayne Woodard, who also plays Titania, queen of the fairies).

During the time given her to decide between death and the convent, Hermia

and Lysander flee to the forest to be wed at his aunt’s house. They confide in Hermia’s friend Helena (J. Smith-Cameron), who follows them into the forest with Demetrius, whom she loves. Everything is turned upside down (literally, in this production) in the forest as our quartet of lovers collides with the warring king and queen of the fairies, Oberon’s minion, Puck (Martin Moran, who also plays the court master of revels, Philostrate), and a troupe of local “Mechanicals” (working class blokes) rehearsing “The Tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe” to perform at court. Oberon plays a bollixed up trick on all, including Titania, but the spells are all reversed and there’s a happy end to the confusion.

The production is visually-compelling with marvelous costume designs by David

It’s hard to believe it’s been 45 years since the Beatles’ lone appearance in San Diego on Aug. 28, 1965. While John Lennon and George Harrison never again performed in San Diego and Paul McCartney only performed locally once more in 1976, drummer Ringo Starr has been something of a regular, with 12 appearances since 1992.

Starr returns Aug. 6 for his ninth performance at what appears to be one of his all-time favorite venue in the U.S. — Humphrey’s Concerts by The Bay — with his All-Starr Band tour.

Making each tour a special occurrence, Starr always tours with a stellar group of musicians.

With a show akin to a live jukebox, this round’s musical sidemen include keyboardist Edgar Winter and Gary Wright (Spooky Tooth), guitarists Rick Derringer and Wally Palmer (The Romantics), bassist Richard Page (Mr. Mister) and drummer Greg Bissonette — each playing their own hits as well as backing Starr on his.

With Starr now 70 years old, the likelihood of future tours is becoming more remote, but his music has had an affect on generations of performers over the past five decades — particularly with drummers even in San Diego.

“He and the Rolling Stones’ Charlie Watts are the two that everyone else who keeps the beat in a band needs to pay attention to,” said Danny Cress (Skid Roper, The Coyote Problem). “What he plays and where he doesn’t play is a lesson in how to make a song stronger. It can be subtle or he can go all-out. However, in every recording he’s ever made, you can tell how much thought SEE STARR, Page 12

‘High Tides & Summer Nights’

BY WILL BOWEN | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Association of Art, located at 8100 Paseo Del Ocaso in La Jolla Shores, opened a new exhibit July 19. The show, called “High Tides & Summer Nights,” will run until Aug. 1 and features the work of six members of the association. It is an interesting and colorful collection of art works blending impressionistic and realistic approaches to landscapes and still life.

The six artists involved are Charles Pinkney, Jacqueline Warfield, Kim

Wilkins, Richard Warner, Salli Sachse and Rae Anne Mark. Many are students of the Spanish master Sebastian Capella, who now resides in La Jolla.

Each artist is as fascinating as their creations. Those who attend the show will have the unique opportunity to get to know some very interesting local people, view their art and ponder the relationship and significance of person-to-art-production.

Charles Pinkney is the former mayor of a small town. He is described as, “the nicest person you could ever meet.” His paintings include a statue

in a garden, ocean waves crashing, a small mountain stream waterfall, the pink beach house near the Marine Room Restaurant on Spindrift, a dream house on the hill, and perhaps his best, a wonderful and exquisite painting in grays and blues of a flock of elegant terns standing at the shore in the blowing wind. Pinkney also makes his frames of fine wood in a contemporary style.

Jacqueline Warfield is the newest member of the association. She is said SEE LJAA, Page 14 “The Bartender of Seville” by Rae Anne Marks.

CONTINUED FROM Page 11 and effort went into crafting each tune. It may only be two or three minutes of music on that single, for example, but what he puts forth is never less than masterful.”

Session drummer Larry Grano concurs.

“I think Ringo is one of, if not the best pop drummer ever, as well as a great rock and roll drummer, bar none,” Grano said.

While he’s a fan of Starr’s solo work, it’s Starr’s stint with the Fab Four that Grano enjoys most.

“I really like watching early footage, pre-first-U.S.-visit in 1964,” he said. “The whole band is on fire, and Ringo is driving hard. He’s extremely underrated, not to mention he’s a lefty playing a right-handed kit, which is the reason for his different approach to drum fills. The way he played to the songs written by Lennon/McCartney was tasteful, and fit each style the song was in. The right guy in the right place at the perfect time.”

Meanwhile, guitarist Mark DeCerbo of cover band Rockola, has performed both solo and Beatles material.

“His feel, solid back-beat and the parts he played in interpreting all those great songs he’s played on over the past decades cannot be underestimated or dismissed.

Many of those Beatles songs, for example, would have been quite different and possibly not as good without his input,” DeCerbo said.

Actor and musician Robbie Rist (“The Brady Bunch,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”) disagrees on Starr’s skills, but sides with Cress, DeCerbo and Grano on Starr’s importance to his former groups music.

“Technically gifted? Hardly,” Rist said. “But, outside of McCartney, Ringo was the most ‘instrumental’ member in the actual sound of the Beatles. Take him out, they become just another rock band with a couple of decent songwriters.”

While he has not seen one of Starr’s All-Star Band tours, Rist believes the series are the culmination of Ringo’s lifelong ethos.

“He was a vaudevillian from the get-go,” Rist said.

“Entertainment at all cost. And I think it’s awesome that he has given a boost to artists that the public may have forgotten about, such as John Waite (2003 AllStarrs) or people they never knew in the first place, like

STARR STUDDED Who: Ringo Starr and his AllStarr Band perform at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 6 at Humphrey’s Concerts by the Bay, 2241 Shelter Island Drive. All ages welcome.

Ticket cost: $135.

For more information: www.humphreysconcerts.com Dave Edmunds (’92 All-Starrs).”

Both DeCerbo and Grano have caught various All-Starr shows over the years and find it hard to pick a favorite song from his solo years. “[Just] one? C’mon, gimme at least three,” Grano laughed. “Whether it’s a song like ‘Back Off Boogaloo,’ ‘It Don’t Come Easy’ or even his cover of the old Johnny Burnette song ‘You’re Sixteen,’ his music has an incredible feel, aka, the ‘Ringo groove.’ There’s nothing else like it.”

DeCerbo also cites “It Don’t Come Easy” and adds “Photograph” to the list of his Starr favorites.

“It could be George Harrison’s influence in the guitar riff and songwriting, but [Starr’s] vocals are also warm and wonderful — both classic Ringo vocals and utterly charming,” DeCerbo said.

For British singer-songwriter Dave Humphries, Starr’s performance at Humphrey’s is one of the year’s most important events.

“Even beyond all the solo hits he’ll be playing, and his well-known tunes from the sixties, how many opportunities does one have left to see a Beatle perform?” Humphries said. “I’ll be appreciating every second.”

Opening Day: Hats and horses are ‘Cool As Ever’

BY DIANA CAVAGNARO | VILLAGE NEWS Opening Day at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club was “Cool As Ever” on July 21. This is always one of San Diego’s biggest fashion events of the year, setting a new record of 45,309 in attendance this year. The fashionably-dressed patrons came out in droves, wearing the most glamorous chapeaus. This tradition for opening day always brings out race-goers all trying to outshine each other with the most stylish hats.

For years, big, sophisticated hats have been the norm at the racetracks. Recently, Australia has influenced headwear with small, brimless fascinators and has made it acceptable to wear petite hats to racetracks, and an array of small hats were seen this year at Del Mar. One of the most popular styles are delicate sinamay straws that accent a women’s head perfectly. The colors of choice were black and white with an accent of Chinese red.

Lemon yellow and amethyst were carried over from last season and were seen in abundance.

A trend has been bows on hats and fascinators. Trims included exotic feathers, exquisite silk flowers and meticulously crafted embellishments.

Race-goers wore hats by many different milliners including Philip Treacy, Designer Millinery, Arturo Rios and Del Mar Hats.

Valerie Cooper wore a smaller hat she bought on a trip to New York City. Jenny Craig sported a big chapeau she purchased at the Kentucky Derby.

The One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest brought out more than 400 entries this year. First prize was awarded to Katy Helen Stockinger of San Diego for the Best Flowers category. Frank Holtz won in the Best Racing theme category and Rosalyn Sidewater of Los Angeles won for the Most Glamorous. Fay Meitz won the Funniest/Most Outrageous category and was awarded the grand prize — two American Airlines travel vouchers good for round trip travel anywhere the airline flies in the continental United States.

The race season runs through Sept. 8. For more information visit www.dmtc.com/season/ or call (858) 755-1141.

CONTINUED FROM Page 11 to be “up and coming,” with much potential and making great strides in her painting career. Her paintings include two thoroughbred race horses with jockeys, rocks at the shore, two small islands from the Galapagos, a solitary white horse, a floral arrangement and a very satisfying painting of red water lilies on dark green water.

Kim Wilkins is a very intriguing gentleman, nicknamed “The Secret Agent” because of his “classified” real life career. Wilkins, a world traveler and avid golfer, has nine paintings on view — of landscapes, buildings, pretty women, and a wonderful study of fog and sailboats in a harbor titled “Moonlight Harbor.”

Richard Warner, a La Jolla local, graduated with a degree in design and art from San Diego State University and taught art at La Jolla High School for a number of years before opening his own design firm called Warner Design Associates. He has also published a book called “All Hands On Deck,” which is a human resources manual. Warner has developed the

outlandish and amusing gimmick of taking a photograph of some random couple, turning it into a portrait and then seeking out the couple to see if they would like to buy it. It works!

His pieces in the show include “Three For Lunch in Florence,” a study of three men in an Italian deli strung with bundles of hanging cheese; and “Shell Beach,” a landscape of one of the beautiful local landmarks.

Salli Sachse is our own celebrity movie star, having starred in 16 films, including the “Beach Blanket Bingo” series with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello; “The Trip” with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Susan Strasberg; and “Devil’s Angels,” about motorcycle gangs. She has spent much time at Dean Martin’s house, hung out with Frank Sinatra, rode on the back of Steve McQueen’s motorcycle, befriended folk singer Joni Mitchell and traveled with the rock band Crosby, Stills and Nash. She was Miss La Jolla, Fairest of the Fair, and the subject of a Vanity Fair article on the Southern California beach culture.

As if that wasn’t enough, she is now a talented artist.

Her painting of “Leo the Cat,” per-

haps the best portrait of a cat you may ever see, will have you glued to the wall and purring with contentment.

Rae Anne Marks is the overseer of the group, keeping everyone intact under her knowledgeable and watchful wings. A very unassuming and humble person, she is a wealth of information on art. She began her interest in art in high school, but put it aside for the financial stability of a career in business. That is, until her future husband took her on a date to a showing in New York City of the Spanish master Joaquin Sorolla, which reawakened her artist passion.

After the two got married and moved to San Diego, Marks discovered that the Sorolla show which she had seen in New York was now in San Diego.

She went to the museum every day.

After that, she sought out local artist Sebastian Capella, who had graduated from the same school as Sorolla — The Valencia School of Fine Art in Spain. She has been his student and assistant for the past 25 years.

Marks has a piece on exhibit titled “The Tourists,” which won first place at this year’s Del Mar Fair; also an intriguing and symbolic painting of a romantic old cottage with a red door,

everything, including the onstage piano, to fly and be played upon upside down.

Most wondrous of all, 20 members or alumni of the San Diego Youth Symphony, along with four union musicians compose the off-stage orchestra (orchestrations by Wayne Barker), an on stage ensemble, and the most exotic, flute-playing Changeling ever seen in a “Dream.”

Wondrous indeed.

The 22-member acting company is uplifted by the flying skills of Tatyana Petruk and acrobatics of various others including Ken Berkeley, a longtime performer at the Metropolitan Opera, and Matthew Cusick, also a Met performer as well as a veteran of Cirque du Soleil.

“I love to paint. It’s not a hobby — it’s my passion. I love color,” Marks said. “It’s so exciting. When I am at my canvas I feel like I am about to fight a bull. My adrenalin is flowing. You

WordWide International Language Schools Are growing in our mission to teach languages for world peace. We opened on Voltaire Street in 2006 with one Spanish class, purchased an ongoing English as a Second Language (ESL) school in March 2007 and brought that school to the tutoring center that owner and director B. Rose Anderson had originally opened in Germany in 1990. WordWide has now partnered with Helen Faisal of Carmel Valley, who made the move to 1811 Sunset Cliffs Blvd. possible.

“Bushard’s big white building wasn’t easy for Charley to build, but it gives us a home large enough to profit and keep these schools in OB,” Anderson said.

WordWide ILS is actually two schools: Word-Wide ESL Institute is a private, postsecondary school with national accreditation and is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant alien students.

We teach anyone who wants to learn English, and have earned a 100% matriculation rate to area colleges. WordWide Language Tutoring Center teaches Arabic, French, German, Italian, Korean, Spanish and Swahili. The Spanish program has trained at least one student to pass the Advanced Placement test at UCSD in just 30 hours -- bypassing two years of college Spanish. “We have beat our competition academically, now we’ll add style to our OB attitude and allow our OB staff to keep riding bikes to school,” Anderson said.

Nine Interior Fixes to Sell a Home Fast Despite low interest rates and declining sale prices, there is still a lot of home inventory available. That means homeowners thinking about selling have to do whatever they can to set their homes apart from the others available.

Real estate experts call it "staging," or presenting the home in the best light so that potential buyers can envision themselves moving right in.

Just a few changes here and there can position a home to sell faster than the competition.

The nose knows. A house can be perfect inside and out, but if it smells bad, buyers will likely be put off.

Make sure there is no noticeable odor, such as pet smells, garbage, stale smoke, etc., to turn off others.

Clear out. Make sure the interior looks as spacious as possible. This could mean taking out some furniture and temporarily putting it in storage.

Be sure countertops in bathrooms and kitchens are free of clutter. And pack away knick-knacks that can collect dust.

Cater to the lazy person.

Potential buyers generally want to move in and simply unpack. They don't want to make major repairs.

Therefore, homeowners should do whatever repairs are possible, within reason. If that means tearing down

Real Estate Wisdom Changing?

Conventional wisdom with respect to selling a home might be falling by the wayside. Over the years, research on home sales has suggested the best season to sell a home is spring. Buyer demand has traditionally built through spring and into the summer months, when families often prefer to move because doing so does not force parents to uproot their children from school in the middle of the school year.

However, as the economy has struggled over the last couple of years, so, too, has the real estate market. According to the S&P/ Case-Shiller home price index, home prices decreased by 28 percent from their national peak in the second quarter of 2006 to the end of 2009. Such figures have turned conventional real estate wisdom on its head, as have tax credits to encourage first time buyers to buy homes.

In 2010, first time home buyers who closed on a home by April 30, 2010 received an $8,000 credit.

As a result, home sales figures in February and March were expected to be higher than in years past, and therefore lower in the ensuing months.

For those homeowners forced to sell a home in less desirable seasons like winter, real estate professionals typically advise selling up certain points of the home. Suggestions include decorating a home for the holidays and shoveling any walkways or driveways should snow arrive while a house is on the market. What's more, sellers selling in off-seasons should be realistic about their selling price at the outset, as buyers might be reticent to buy in a season where so few homes are on the market. Selling a home at a desirable asking price, however, might increase buyer interest.

dated wallpaper or replacing carpeting with hardwood floors, it could mean a faster sale.

Do a deep cleaning. Whether a cleaning service is hired or the homeowner does it himself, tackling necessary cleaning projects could make the home shine. Now is the time to wash the windows, shampoo the carpets, regrout the bathrooms, and tackle all of those messes that could compromise a sale.

Add a fresh coat of paint. If walls are bright colors or eclectic, it could pay to paint rooms in more neutral shades to appeal to the masses. Just be aware that some buyers are suspicious of paint, especially freshly painted ceilings.

They may think a homeowner is trying to hide something, usually water stains.

Keep the home updated. While one doesn't have to follow every trend, ensuring the home is ageless can make for a better sell. So if the cabinets scream 1985 and the bathroom is circa 1967, it could be time to do some updating.

Create "happy" spaces. Buyers don't want to purchase a dark home that seems full of doom and gloom. Open the windows, turn on the lights, add lights to dark rooms and use light colors as room accents.

Generally buyers want a bright and light home.

Avoid provocation. One potential buyer could be an animal lover, another a political activist. No one can tell who will view the home. So don't display personal items that might offend. Take down mounted deer heads and put away books that may seem offensive. It can be a good idea to store religious items as well.

Clean out closets and cabinets: Partially empty closets and cabinets give the suggestion that the home is large and has plenty of storage space -- so much so that it doesn't even all need to be used.

Buyers who see jam-packed closets could wonder what's up with storage.

Selling a home in a tough market can be easier when homeowners take the steps needed to stage homes for a faster sale.
