Judge puts brakes on three-story ‘Station’

BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS

EIR must be presented for Bird Rock project BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS Plans to build a three-story project along La Jolla Boulevard, called “Bird Rock Station,” have been stalled since a superior court judge upheld his tentative ruling that it’s plausible the project will have a significant effect on the environment. La Jollans balked at developer Michael Krambs’ plans to skirt the village’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO), which only permits two-story buildings along La Jolla Boulevard, to erect a threestory building with retail space on the bottom and 11 condominiums on the second and third floors. La Jollans formed the La Jolla Village Residents Association in 2008 to sue the city for approving the project without requiring the developer to conduct a full environmental review and produce an environmental impact report (EIR). Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Prager agreed with the petitioners. “If there is substantial evidence in the whole record supporting a fair argument that a project may have a significant non-mitigable effect on the environment, the lead agency shall prepare an EIR, even though it may also be presented with other substantial evidence that title project will not have a significant effect,” Prager wrote in his tentative ruling. The city and developer had argued the project did not require an EIR because it had received a deviation from the PDO, which the city’s municipal code permits if the Planning Commission finds it “will result in a more desirable project than would be achieved if designed in strict conformance with the development regulations of the applicable zone,” according to San Diego’s Municipal Code. Krambs and RK Development Partners have not yet decided whether to appeal the ruling and are “considering all their options,” according to their attorney, Christopher R. Mordy, with Peterson & Price. The petitioners had argued that permitting a developer to construct a three-story building would set a precedent for developers to build threestory buildings throughout La Jolla, which is presently only permitted in certain commercial pockets. Also, neighbors’ privacy would be disturbed since the three-story units would begin at 20 feet high rather than 15 feet high with twostory developments in the area. “The current PDO has protected La Jolla from overdevelopment and makes it the desirable place we have today,” states the No Third Story website. “Allowing three stories would increase the population density and change our town forever.” For more information about the lawsuit visit www.nothirdstory.org.

He’s a musical god, an ageless man-child that burst upon the national musical scene at 14 and made his first recording at 18. He plays the 1713 Huberman Stradivarius, which has an unbelievable history. (In 1936 it was stolen from backstage at Carnegie Hall and not recovered until 50 years later.) Joshua Bell, who doesn’t consider himself handsome, is so good-looking and so talented that it’s been said all the women want to marry him and all the men want to be him. Under the auspices of La Jolla Music Society, the legendary, the gifted, the handsome and the humble Bell will perform one of his favorite feats — the recital — before an adoring throng at Copley Symphony Hall at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19. If that’s not enough incentive to rush right out and purchase a ticket, Bell collaborates with longtime recital partner, pianist Jeremy Denk, who wowed Mainly Mozart Festival audiences last season. The New York Times’ Vivien Schweitzer wrote last February that they are “an ideally matched duo, with Mr. Denk’s fiery playing complementing Mr. Bell’s luxuriant singing tone.” The San Diego recital program comprises J.S. Bach’s Violin Sonata No. 4 in C minor; Camille Saint-Saëns’ Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano in D minor; Robert Schumann’s Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano in A minor; and Maurice Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Piano, written in 1927. Bell says he enjoys chamber music more than anything and he looks forward each year to the month he devotes to recitals. He relishes the intimacy of the recital experience, playing a variety of works, talking to the audience and creating a musical journey, which he can’t do if he’s just playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto, much as he loves that work. As for programming, Bell says, “It’s tricky to find the right balance — a well-balanced meal, you might say. The pieces have to feel connected in a way. You can’t go wrong, starting with Bach, considering he’s connected with pretty much every composer after him.” Though Saint- Saëns sounds quite different, the link is the two composers’ connection with the organ and the fact that the French composer’s music is extremely classical in structure. “It’s the 200th anniversary of Schumann’s birth,” the violinist says, “so I thought it would be nice to include him.” The recital culminates in the Ravel work, noted for “its spicy harmonies and jazz elements.” Bell is a jazz aficionado, and in fact his most recent CD is a crossover album titled “Joshua SEE BELL, Page 6

NEWS Puppy love unleashed on Valentine’s Day 2

THURSDAY · FEBRUARY 11, 2010

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Warwick’s Bookstore put on a Valentine’s Day event for kids called “Puppy Love” yesterday, Feb. 10. Wee ones were given a free paper valentine frame for dog pictures, a doggie photo show-andtell opportunity, story-time featuring readings about dogs, treats and discounts on select dog books. Children shared photos of their favorite canines and talked about their pets. It took this writer back 35 years ago when my son was in first grade at Marcy School in University City. His teacher had the kids create a valentine and send it to one special person. Moms were far and away the favorite choice. I was looking forward to getting that valentine. However, it turned out our family dog, a noble German shepherd, was the recipient of that special valentine. In his 5-year old mind, my son decided that our dog wouldn’t get any valentines, while Mom would probably get a few. He didn’t want the dog to feel left out. Initially I was crushed, but eventually it was a wise choice on the part of my son. Our German shepherd gave us 17 years of unconditional love, loyalty and one attempt at biting our mailman. (No one is perfect.) This faithful dog slept outside on the covered patio or in his doghouse for most of those 17 years, from 1967 to 1984, without guilt on the part of his owners and with an undamaged psyche on the part of the dog. Our current canine, a busy Border collie, sleeps on a plush chocolate circle of a bed on the floor of our bedroom. In almost four decades, dogs have gone from benign neglect to pampered prince and princess. All of our dogs have been the perfect Valentine date: inexpensive, forgiving of our human foibles, and always happy to see us — unlike some

family members. Poet Mary Oliver’s poem, “Little Dog’s Rhapsody in the Night,” goes like this: He puts his cheek against mine and makes small, expressive sounds. And when I’m awake, or awake enough He turns upside down, his four paws in the air and his eyes dark and fervent. Tell me you love me, he says. Tell me again. Could there be a sweeter arrangement? Over and over He gets to ask it. I get to tell. Name a two-legged family member who could fill the dog booties (shoes) of this puppy dog, the subject of Oliver’s poem? Colette, the famous French writer, adored dogs: “Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.” It is true that dogs appear to love their owners unconditionally, and today’s owner reciprocates that love. Has a friend ever told you that she

couldn’t have gone through her divorce without her dog? Do you find yourself talking to people about your dog’s cute ways the way you once described your child? Does your Christmas family photo feature the dog front and center? You are not alone. I imagine someone will eventually start an Addicted to Dogs self-help group for people who can’t relate to others unless they are wearing a collar, sporting dog tags and catching biscuits in mid air. Sign me up. On my only trip to France I attended Sunday Mass and noticed a small poodle in the pew in front of me. It was awkward when the peace sign came. Should I shake his paw or pet his head? If he had gone to communion, I would have left in a heartbeat, so maybe I’m not addicted to dogs. The French truly love their dogs, but evidence outdoors has shown they don’t pick up their dog droppings the way Americans do. We have dog parks and dog beaches and mobile dog washing vans. We have small bags to pick up dog droppings at San Diego parks. The marketing world of canine products increases around Valentine’s Day. Dogs get Hallmark valentines and send valentines. Owners can buy everything from bones to toothpaste, both chickenflavored. Dog-friendly restaurants welcome dog owners, as do four-star hotels. Small pet shops have been replaced by corporate giants. Think Petco where the Padres play. Mark Twain said “if you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.” When my husband hears these words: “Where are you sweetie? I missed you,” he is certain I’m talking to the dog.

A young girl meets Nubs, the Iraqi war dog, who was with his master, Marine Major Brian Dennis, during his storytelling and book-signing event at Warwick’s on Dec. 8.

ers Association’s National Pet Owners Survey points out that $40 billion was spent on pets in 2007, double the amount from a decade ago. Well, that is a wake-up call if you equate buying gifts with giving love. Cultural anthropologist Jim Williams observes, “the humanization of pets is one more sign of the isolation of humans.” Dog lovers do trust their pets above all. Empty-nesters want dogs to keep them company when the kids take off for college or are living on their own. Younger couples delay having children and practice parenting with their dogs

in tow. Single folks see a dog as the best kind of roommate. Dogs don’t ask to get a driver’s license at age 16, either. Dogs truly improve one’s health. Taking your dog for a walk is making you get out and exercise: lowering your blood pressure, helping your heart, encouraging you to socialize with others you might meet. Dog parks in San Diego are great places to make friends. So, send a Valentine to your dog this Sunday: Roses are red, violets are blue, my faithful pup, true love is you. Come to think of it, maybe it is not coincidental that dog is God spelled backwards. I

LJCPA denies approval for memory-loss facility

City intends to repair six coastal stairways The City of San Diego has begun the permitting process to repair beach access stairways and walkways in six locations. “Most of them are old. It’s old concrete. Saltwater and erosional forces just take their toll on them,” said Helene Deisher, project manager with the city’s Development Services. “There’s some walkways that have been undermined a bit.” Repairs in La Jolla are intended for the south Casa De Mañana stairway west of Coast Boulevard between Jenner Street and Ocean Lane. The areas identified as needing work in Pacific Beach are the Diamond Street walkway and the Capri by the Sea walkway/stairway west of Ocean Boulevard between Chalcedony and Missouri streets. Locations on the list in Ocean Beach are the Old Salt Pool stairway at the terminus of Narragansett Avenue at the ocean, the Orchard Avenue walkway and the Pescadero Avenue lower stairway. The process to gain permits is in the very beginning stages and a project date has not been established. A source of funding has not been identified and the cost has yet to be determined, Deisher said. The project is for repairs and maintenance only and no new design work will be included.

Soledad Association spruces up monument The view from atop Mount Soledad is breathtaking and the granite plaques to honor veterans are tasteful, but the Mount Soledad Memorial Association continues to make small improvements to improve the scene. Six weeks ago, the association installed bronze railings to help steady visitors as they climb the stairs to visit plaques. A directory was also built to enable visitors to better find plaques honoring their family and friends, and to learn more about the other veterans honored. “Where’s Uncle Charlie? Well, he’s on the wall somewhere. There are only 3,000 plaques so he must be around here somewhere,” Carl Dustin joked about the need for the directory. Dustin is a volunteer with the association. Six concentric walls currently display 2,700 granite plaques, which depict a veteran’s photos and his or her

What is the difference between a funded and an

unfunded trust? Once you have drafted your Living Trust, there are two important steps to take. The first is to execute your Trust by signing all of the necessary documents in front of witnesses and a Notary Public, where indicated. You must then fund your Trust by transferring your assets into the Trust. It is really quite simple. For example, with a Quitclaim Deed, you can transfer real property from your current ownership to your Trust (some states require different procedures for transferring real property). Such a transfer is not considered to be a sale, therefore no reassessment of your property will take place and no tax consequences will result. Similarly, you need to contact your bank or other financial institutions and request that they change the name on your accounts to the name of your Living Trust. Often the institution will give you a Certification of Trust form. If you need to transfer your stock certificates into your Trust, you should notify your broker and/or the company in which you own shares for specific instructions. When these steps are completed, your Trust is fully funded. Virginia will be happy to answer your questions about your Living Trust. Her goal is to assure you and your family that your Living Trust will meet the needs which you specified in establishing your Living Trust. She is here to help in any way she can.

Ask The Lawyer Question:

A proposal to convert an underused office building at 484 Prospect St. into a care facility for functioning memoryloss patients has alarmed next-door neighbors. The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) split in its approval of the project at the Feb. 4 meeting. Formerly a Scripps hospital, the building would serve a maximum of 57 residents but medical care would not be provided onsite. Applicant Northstar Senior Living estimates 27 parking spaces would be needed for employees and visitors at one time, and 33 spots are available. Neighbors argued that the daycare facility would degrade their quality of life because of the increased traffic from visitors and employees, and the fact the facility would operate 24 hours per day around the clock. Since the buildings are close together, residents worried about the lack of privacy. Nearly 30 residents attended the meeting to voice their concerns. North Star Senior Living has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to change the use of the 17,838-square foot building from office into a care facility. Trustee Michele Addington made the first motion to deny the project because she did not believe it is an appropriate location for the facility, and because of “the increase in intensity and hours of use.” Trustee Dave Little voted against the

motion because he said the property owner had the authority to convert the office building into an apartment complex without noticing LJCPA, which would create even more traffic than the care facility. Addington’s motion failed 6-8-1. Trustee Dan Courtney made the next motion to approve the project. “This is a use we need,” Courtney said. “We have schools for children and we need these sort of facilities for people with memory problems.” Trustee Ray Weiss changed his mind about the appropriateness of the site for the care facility, despite opposing the first motion to deny the project. Courtney’s motion failed 7-7-1. LJCPA President Joe La Cava broke the tie and voted to deny the motion to approve the CUP.

After the intermission, Bishop’s burst ahead on baskets as Kaiser, Malik Love and Dominique Love built a bulge of 3022 by the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers closed the gap to 32-26 on a four-point play by 6-1 senior point guard Devyn Iglehart. But unfortunately for Horizon, the Knights would outscore them 10-6 the rest of the way to seal the victory. Malik Love led Bishop’s with a gamehigh 14 points, followed in the scoring column by Kaiser (7 points), Watkins (5 points), Dominique Love (10 points) and 5-10 junior guard Ryan Chong (6 points). Earlier in the week, the Knights suffered a tough 56-52 loss to the Francis Parker Lancers in a Coastal League game at Bishop’s. “We hadn’t lost a game to Parker in quite awhile,” Malik Love said. In that effort, Kaiser led the Knights with a team-high 15 points, followed by Malik Love (13 points), Dominique Love (9 points), Chong (8 points) and Watkins (7 points). I

According to LJCD head coach Dave Jenkins, despite the team being down a few goals, Erika Shepard played the remainder of the game at sweeper after moving to that position midway through the first half. “Erika played extremely well, matching Parker players physically and with equal ability,” Jenkins said. Kelly Mordente, coming off two days of illness, played well as an outside defender, and despite four goals against, Rachel Locke was solid in the goal and stayed busy all night making many nice saves, according to Jenkins. In a 2-1 victory over Canyon Crest, Shepard knocked in a rebounding ball from a free kick taken by Ana Cruz to tie things at 1-1. With about 15 minutes remaining in the game, Cruz drove a blistering free kick from just outside the penalty area past the Canyon Crest keeper to put the Lady Torreys up by one. LJCD then held onto the lead to avenge its 3-1 loss to Canyon Crest a few weeks ago. “So many players played so well today,” Jenkins said. “Captain Aleena Young had a tremendous game — leadership by example. Erika Shepard played attacking forward and was a great target for our midfielders. Jodi Morris stepped in to play sweeper for the first time in four years and played a great game. Rachel Locke had about 10 great, diving saves.” “Tara Roudi, Meagan Narwold and

Alana Pockros contributed some great minutes putting a lot of pressure on the Raven defenders. It was a pleasure to watch every player on the team work so hard and contribute today,” Jenkins added. LJCD’s other recent win was a 2-1 decision over Horizon, where Katherine Klicpera and Shepard tallied for the Lady Torreys. The La Jolla Country Day School boys soccer team also captured a pair of victories in action last week. LJCD capped the week with a 1-0 win over league-leading Canyon Crest. Lee Klitzner got the game-winning goal for LJCD, while the Torreys received strong play from the likes of Ryan French, Dan Rogers, Max Ferre, Philip Poyhonen, Mical Bailey, Alex Fleischhacker, Hunter Khaleghi, Dennis Roth, Alistair Dobke, Rodrigo Cuenca, Tyler Hong and Noah Wolfenzon. In a 7-2 win over Horizon, LJCD was led by Roth (three goals), Klitzner (two goals) and French and Khaleghi (one goal each). Khaleghi also earned an assist, as did Hong, French, Cuenca and Fleischhacker. Finally, it was another three-win week for the LJCD girls basketball team last week, including an impressive 7742 win over a very good Villa Park team (17-6). The other two wins came against

Coastal South League opponents Horizon (57-17) and Canyon Crest (60-29). That gives the young LJCD (19-3) team 14 straight victories heading into this week’s showdown with league rival Bishop’s. In the win over Horizon, the Lady Torreys jumped out to a 34-5 first half lead and never looked back. LJCD used a balanced attack with four players in double figures. Kelsey Plum led the way with 17 points, eight rebounds and five steals, and Briteeesha Solomon added 14 points, seven rebounds and four blocked shots. Maya Hood had a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds, while Kaylah Miller added 10 points, including two long-range threes in the winning efforts.x In the triumph over Villa Park, LJCD

forced 27 Spartan turnovers, while also hitting 8-of-16 three-pointers, including five by Miller. Solomon led the scoring with 17 points and Plum added 16 points. Hood had a double-double with 13 points, 11 rebounds and nabbed six steals, while twin sister Malina Hood added 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Ariana Elegado finished with five points, five steals and had six assists, while freshman Brianne Yasukochi ran the point when Elegado went to the bench with her fourth foul and held her team together. LJCD’s win over Canyon Crest was sparked by Malina Hood, who led the way with 14 points, while twin sister Maya Hood added 13 points, six rebounds and five steals. I

Young film director is ‘Off and Running’ BY ANTHONY GENTILE | VILLAGE NEWS

“The Hidden Life of the Burrowing Owl” is one of the animated short films that will be screened as part of “A New Generation of Spike and Mike Animation,” beginning Feb. 13 at MCASD’s Sherwood Auditorium, 700 Prospect St.

Spike & Mike unspool their ‘New Generation’ BY ANTHONY GENTILE | VILLAGE NEWS The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) La Jolla will be getting animated over the next two months. The museum will host multiple showings of the “A New Generation of Spike and Mike Animation,” a collection of animated shorts. The animation films will debut at MCASD La Jolla, 700 Prospect St., Saturday, Feb. 13 with showings at 5, 7:15 and 9:30 p.m. There will also be

showings at 7:15 and 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 20 and 27, and March 5, 13 and 20. Spike and Mike got started in 1977 with “Spike and Mike’s Festival of Animation,” and their work has since been shown at film festivals such as Cannes and Sundance. Their production company, Mellow Manor, is based in La Jolla. For information on the film, visit www.spikeandmike.com. MCASD La Jolla is online at www.mcasd.org. I

Award-winning filmmaker and Point Loma High School graduate Nicole Opper will be cast into the spotlight this week when her film, “Off and Running,” makes its San Diego premiere Monday, Feb. 15 at the San Diego Jewish Film Festival. The film screens at 8 p.m. at the AMC Theater La Jolla, 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive. Tickets are $13.25. “I always love visiting San Diego and coming home,” said Opper, who currently lives in New York. “It really does feel like a homecoming each time the wheels touch the ground and I see the palm trees and smell that fresh air.” When Opper touches down in San Diego, she will first engage in what has become a tradition with her brother: eating a Santana’s burrito on the beach. But Opper misses more than just the food from her hometown. “It’s just such a big part of me,” Opper said. “I have a really strong network of friends and family in San Diego that I love to come and visit.” “Off and Running” is a coming-ofage documentary with Brooklyn teenager Avery Klein-Cloud at its center. The film follows Klein-Cloud, an African-American girl with Jewish lesbian adopted parents, as she tries to reach out to her birth family. “That decision catapults her into a whole exploration of race and identity and family that really, in some ways,

turns her life upside down,” Opper said. “The film becomes about the struggle of getting back on one’s feet when something like that occurs.” Opper’s 76-minute film has won multiple awards, including best documentary at QFest in Philadelphia and at the Writers Guild of America’s SilverDocs, the latter of which she shared with Klein-Cloud at the ceremony. Opper said the film has been successful because the audience can sympathize with each of its characters.

Bell at Home with Friends,” featuring Chris Botti, Sting, Josh Groban, Kristin Chenoweth, Regina Spektor, Anoushka Shankar, Marvin Hamlisch and Tiempo Libre, among others. To Bell, music is just music and every artist is as serious about his/her music as so-called classical composers and musicians are. He says no one is more serious about music making than Tiempo Libre, then points to Ravel as an example of someone who took the jazz art form and made it his own. “It’s unmistakably his language in the blues, but it’s also unmistakably the blues,” he said. “It’s an amazing work and Ravel had incredible skill to do that. Nobody accused him of going crossover. It’s a more modern phenomenon to talk like that.” Like many violinists, Bell has an intimate relationship with his instrument, which he’s had for eight years and which he claims goes far beyond its monetary value ($4 million). The violin is as invaluable and irreplaceable as a child. He carries it around as if it were, and even has a violin doctor in New York to whom he takes it for regular checkups. “There are some days when I just want to get rid of it. It’s not working with me the way it should,” Bell said. “Then, four days later, I completely fall in love with it again, and it will start to cooperate, like this living thing.” For tickets and information, cal 459-3728 or visit www.ljms.org.

“That’s the greatest success, that the film doesn’t really prioritize one person’s point of view over another,” Opper said. “It’s just trying to give you a lens into the entire story without passing judgment on it.” While directing and producing “Off and Running,” Opper said she knew the film would not be completely objective because of her relationship with KleinCloud and those close to her. For her, the challenge was how involved she would become. “The real question for me was not how I remain objective, but how I avoid projecting my wishes and dreams onto the story and just step back and listen and learn from it,” Opper said. “That was really an ongoing challenge that I negotiated all throughout production.” Opper’s coming attraction — which is still in the works — is “Ipoderac,” a documentary about a home for abandoned children in Puebla, Mexico. Opper has a personal connection to the home, spending a summer there when she was 18. “It’s built like a family and it’s run like a family, with the educators playing parental roles and the boys learning to treat each other and regard each other as brothers,” Opper said. “That’s what really sets it apart and makes it special. It’s not an institution that you’re just kind of waiting your time out in. It’s a familial experience.” Those interested in learning more about “Off and Running” or “Ipoderac” can reach Opper by e-mail at contact@offandrunningthefilm.com. I

Major distributions of cash and wines Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas Remember Silk & Spice, the Jewel Ball that Jennifer Greenfield chaired for Las Patronas (LP) last August? Well, they didn’t do it just to have a great party, of course! For all the effort the ladies of LP put into their annual grand gala event, they seem to put just as much into carefully distributing the proceeds (they raised $872,426 this time…), ensuring that it goes where it can do the most good within the San Diego community. In the months leading up to each Jewel Ball, LP members carefully screen grant applications — a thoughtful and rigorous process that includes a site visit to each applicant by LP’s prestigious Grant Committee. Checks were presented to the ten “Major Beneficiaries” at LP’s annual Beneficiary Luncheon, recently held at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. The funding will result in the purchase of vehicles, electronics and other significant equipment to aid organizations providing very meaningful benefits to the people of San Diego County. Dozens of “Minor Beneficiaries” will also receive smaller grants (of up to $20,000) to further their community efforts. The luncheon was also the occasion for the presentation of LP’s Spirit of Giving Award, which went to Ken Miracle of Miracle Brand Design for his long history of helping the ladies through his inspiration, artistic design and patience — turning their vague design concepts into gold. 2009 LP President Lydia McNeil threatened to present the award in song, until several of the other members objected. Then she said she’d made an award for him in her ceramics class, but that got quickly nixed, too. Finally, she did it in poetry (actually, disjointed rhyme). Everybody got some laughs, and Ken got his welldeserved award. Lise Wilson will chair the 2010 Jewel Ball, Heart + Soul. It’s coming up on Saturday, Aug. 7, so mark your calendars now! The Foundation of La Jolla High School is a group of concerned supporters who raise significant funds to help insulate LJHS from the budget cuts that adversely affect so many of our learning institutions. The money comes from several events and campaigns held throughout the year. The Foundation recently hosted its fifth

annual wine-tasting event, dubbed Viking Vines and Vintners. The venue was the La Jolla Country Club, where a large contingent of enthusiastic oenophiles gathered to collect their commemorative tasting glasses and sample a broad spectrum of premiere wines. The event hosts wisely ensured that plenty of great food was available, starting with tasty hors d’oeuvres. The Country Club’s chef outdid himself with a buffet supper that included not only massive steamboats of beef roasted to perfection, but also the absolute best salmon ever served in La Jolla. (If word gets out that this is on the Club’s regular menu, dinner reservations there may become significantly harder to obtain.) For those who could drag themselves from the boffo buffet, there were two silent auctions (one offering fine wines; the other a variety of items, services and getaways). A seven-item live auction included such things as vacations in Kauai and Baja, dinners for eight, Calloway clubs and a beach party. A “Wine Wagon” opportunity drawing officially ended the evening, although guests were enjoying the fun and camaraderie too much to rush off…

Bird Rock ‘Taste’ a victim of success? BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS The Taste of Bird Rock has become so successful that the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) is considering suspending the fund-raiser this year in an effort to tone down the party. “The good news is that the Taste of Bird Rock is wildly successful,” said BRCC President Joe Parker at the group’s Feb. 2 meeting. “The bad news is that it is wildly successful.” Police have taken note of the increased foot traffic and drinking, and informed the BRCC that it needs to step up its security and traffic control, measures that would also spike

the costs to run the event, Parker said. Word has traveled that the Taste of Bird Rock is a good party, and Parker doesn’t believe limiting ticket sales will help. He reports seeing someone pushing a stroller carrying a 12-pack of beer, and others tailgating on the back of their trucks. “The point is to interface residents with merchants and to raise funds,” Parker said. “When you have to fence off areas, the costs escalate and it becomes counterproductive.” The Taste of Bird Rock, typically held in July, started in 2002 to promote area restaurants and continued as a fund-raiser for Bird Rock Elementary School in 2005.

Gaslamp says laissez les bon temps roulez! BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS The biggest party of the year comes to the Gaslamp Quarter on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 16, from 6 p.m. to midnight during the annual Mardis Gras in the Gaslamp celebration. The event features two parades — one at 7:30 p.m. and another at 10 p.m. — live music, dancers, performers and bayou-themed live entertainers roaming up and down Market Street. Thousands are expected to fill the blocks from Broadway to K Street, across Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues. “The celebration is Gaslamp-wide, and every business along there is actually involved. Many of them will waive cover charges and have drink specials,” said Heather Ashby, marketing manager for the Gaslamp Quarter Association.

“The highlight of the event is the parades. Usually we’ll see about 40 to 50 floats. The 10 p.m. parade is a little more adult.” HEATHER ASHBY Marketing manager, Gaslamp Quarter Association

Tickets range from $15 pre-sale and $20 at the gates to a variety of package deals for local restaurants and nightspots. Gates are located at Fifth Avenue and Broadway, and Sixth Avenue and K Street. This year’s event, Ashby said, will feature approximately 40 to 50 floats parading down Fifth Avenue. Dancers, fire-breathers, bead-wranglers and performers will walk up and down cross streets for the full Mardis

Facing facts about castoff microplastics in the ocean BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD When Oprah centered an episode of her talk show on the Texas-sized plastic garbage patch stagnating in the North Pacific gyre, and media outlets report a research cruise to the area by Scripps scientists, the situation must be dire, meaning that the public is ready to be informed. Quite honestly, it has long been known that cast-off plastic materials regularly enter inland watersheds where they wash into storm drains and make their way to the sea. Plastic refuse clogs the ocean and kills millions of sea creatures annually by various means. While plastic may not biodegrade (won’t break down into its initial, benign components), it still SEE MICROPLASTICS, Page B·4

R E FLECTION S

Poet Rose Thorpe blooms in La Jolla BY CAROL OLTEN The Victorian era abounded with romantic poetry, with love stories often more than bordering on the melodramatic and quixotic. One specifically popular tome of the era in English literature is a poem titled “Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight,” a story of a young woman who saves her lover unjustly condemned to death with the tolling of the curfew bell in not-so-merry-old England. It was written by a 16-year-old schoolgirl growing up in a pioneer family in Michigan. Her name was Rose Hartwick Thorpe, and she spent her adult life as one of La Jolla’s leading citizens. Mrs. Thorpe, an imposing-looking fig-

Such was the story Rose committed to time immemorial verse, writing her poem on milliner’s tape for lack of real paper. ure, and her husband Edmund, a wellknown builder in the area, moved here in 1901 and lived in a cottage at 7810 Herschel Ave. Appropriately, the house was known as “Curfew.” As Valentine’s Day rolls around again this month, it seems apropos to consider Mrs. Thorpe’s popular romantic poem, how she came

to write it and how it became her signature work, even though she continued to write other poetry and prose during her life here. She died in 1939 at age 89. As a young woman, Rose read a story published in Peterson’s magazine in 1865 called “Love and Loyalty.” It concerned two young lovers named Basil and Bessie, whose fate and destiny become entwined in the politics of Cromwellian England. Basil is condemned to die when the curfew bell tolls. But in a valiant effort, Bessie prevents the bell from ringing and the two young lovers unite arm in arm for happiness ever after. Such was the story Rose committed to time immemorial

verse, writing her poem on milliner’s tape for lack of real paper. First reaching publication in a Detroit newspaper, it became a sensation, the verses oft-quoted and memorized by every Victorian school child. Translations spread around the world in many languages. In England, Queen Victoria gave it a stamp of approval authenticating that the story had actually happened. The real curfew bell — cast in 1310 — was discovered hanging in a church steeple in Chertsey. While living in La Jolla, Rose was long venerated by the community as the author of the poem. But she also continued to write and publish prose and poetry and was well-known in the local literary circle of the early 1900s, often sharing thoughts with Green Dragon Colony founder Anna Held. In the romantic spirit of the time, she wrote about the beauties of California nature, the old Spanish missions and many other subjects. In 1904, her fictional story of “The White Lady of La Jolla”

was published, telling of the celebrated white lady cave. She also wrote a poem on La Jolla’s seven caves: “The caverns where the waves make moan … Are spiked with columns carved from stone.” Another poem, “February on the La Jolla Hills,” bears quoting this month. “There are fields of gold—whole poppy fields— Oh, the land is color crazy; Purple and yellow and lavender, Under the warm sky hazy. Dashes of color, and shouts of glee, All in the winter weather, For the flowers of earth and the human flowers Are out on the hills together.” — “Reflections” is a monthly column written for the La Jolla Village News by the La Jolla Historical Society’s historian Carol Olten. The Society, dedicated to the preservation of La Jolla heritage, is located at 7846 Eads Ave. and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. I

Our RN’s oversee every client to assure someone is in charge. 3. Don’t have the caregiver handle the important communications with doctors and other professionals. That’s why the RN Case Manage is so important to this process. The RN will ensure the family is kept in the loop and oversee all important decisions. 4. Don’t share financial information with caregivers. This is simply not a good idea, even with the most trustworthy caregivers. Require receipts for all money spent. This is standard practice and should not be met with any resistance. 5. Don’t let the caregiver hold you hostage. Remember the caregiver is working for you, not vice versa. The best caregivers are able to be honest without being defensive. Your local geriatric care managers are

Life after Breast Cancer is never the same… Helene Saidi is a firm believer that on the road to recovery the entire person needs to be treated Mind, Body and Spirit. So, whether newly diagnosed or years into survivorship Integrative Yoga Therapy can enhance the quality of life after Breast Cancer by dealing with issues related to surgery/ reconstruction or the after effects of chemotherapy. Helene is a 20 plus year veteran in the Health and Fitness industry and holds The accredited title of ERYT (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) through Yoga Alliance.

WHAT LIES BENEATH

MICROPLASTICS CONTINUED FROM Page B·1

degrades so every piece of plastic ever made is probably still around somewhere on the planet today. Sunlight disintegrates plastic into smaller and smaller pieces, down to microsized. Most plastic in the ocean is now microplastic. Maybe we can’t see it, but rest assured, we are awash in it. And these plastic particles we know little about. We do know about micro-sized plastics (sand grain-sized) that are synthesized on purpose and that are discharged daily into our ocean. Microplastic pollution was born during the 1990s, with the invention of liquid hand cleansers containing abrasive microplastics. Initially, the market for these products was small, so worries about negative environmental effects were deemed minor. Today, the average consumer likely soaps up with microplastic-containing products every day, not as a hand cleanser but as a facial exfoliator because most popular face cleansers now contain polyethylene microplastics. Some body cleansers do as well. These specks of plastic are too tiny to be filtered by wastewater plants and, ultimately, end up in the ocean. Some of the products include Dove’s foaming facial exfoliator, Clarins exfoliating scrub with “micro-fine polyethylene beads,” Neutrogena’s pore-refining scrub and Olay spa body wash with “exfoliating ribbons.” Bead shape is irrelevant, be it spheres, ribbons or should it come to pass, buckeyballs; it’s what they are made of: polyethylene. Ayur-Medic’s Anti-Bacterial Wash contains polyethylene beads that follow “...the time-tested healing doctrines of

Comparing polyethylene microbeads facial cleanser (left) to sand grains (right) size-wise, it’s easy to see how marine life is tricked into ingesting nonnutritional and toxic plastic. © 2010 JUDITH LEA GARFIELD

Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old Indian science of life .... a line of skin care products that strikes the perfect balance between natural holistic principles and state-of-the-art medical knowledge.” Researchers in New Zealand conducted a study on several of these cleansers and determined the average bead size was smaller than 100 microns, requiring a microscope to see. Not only do the beads sail through wastewater treatment filters but they fool ocean organisms into thinking they are food, being a ready-to-eat size for planktonic organisms, those invertebrates near the base of the food chain. Bottom feeders like mussels, barnacles, lugworms and tiny crustaceans ingest this nonfood where it may remain in the digestive tract or migrate to other body tissues. Then there’s the issue of filling up on plastic instead of

real eats. Talk about junk food! Marine life consuming “clean” microplastics face the above issues. In the long term, uneaten plastic particles wafting through the ocean absorb other toxins dissolved in the soup, like PCBs from pesticides, which concentrate in the beads, making them more toxic over time. Polyethylene looks to be an excellent transporter of dangerous phenanthrene, a byproduct of fossil fuel burning, which ends up in the stomachs of marine life from otters to octopi. Microplastics are a headache for scientists not only because they evade the naked eye but because of complications designing assays that determine plastic levels in an animal’s tissues. There is good news. Not all facial exfoliants contain plastic; many use ground seeds, nuts, grains and oil. Good choices for body exfoliants include those with pumice or salt (talk

Animals at the base of the food chain like this isopod (above) consume sand grain-sized food or smaller, like diatoms. Almost any small, mobile marine predator, such as fish, will eat isopods, so what isopods eat can eventually reach us.

about recyclable!). St. Ives Apricot has a facial scrub with ground apricot kernels; Burt’s Bees has a citrus facial scrub containing finely ground almonds, oats and pecans; Sephora carries Peter Thomas Roth botanical products with micro-jojoba beads; Bath and Body Works products contain jojoba beads; Shiseido makes exfoliating discs with rice bran; and Origins has an exfoliator made with rice starch and a polisher, incorporating ground apricot and mango seeds. This is only a short list. As long as we choose to purchase polyethylene-based products with microbeads, the companies that manufacture them won’t change practice. Don’t wait until the government finally outlaws microbeads for posing immediate and long-term threats to the health of the ocean and the food we eat. Purchasing products without these pernicious ingredients is a potent incentive

for companies to reformulate their products. Ignorance may be bliss but knowledge is power.
