City Council President Todd Glo-ria and council members Lorie Zapfand Kevin Faulconer recentlyannounced their resolve to reformthe lengthy and expensive permit-ting process restaurant ownersmust endure to establish outdoordining at restaurants.

“We live in a beautiful city withfantastic weather, and you should-n’t have to pay thousands of dol-lars for a permit to eat outside,”said Faulconer at a press confer-ence at OB Noodle House on Jan.31.

Under current regulations, evenfor a small restaurant hoping toadd a few tables outside, permit-ting fees are upward of $12,000before construction can evenbegin. In beach communities, theprohibitive fees nearly double dueto additional coastal regulations,said Faulconer.

“Restaurants are the No. 1 con-

tributor of taxable retail sales in SanDiego,” said Faulconer. “That’smoney that we can use to paveroads, clean beaches and keep policeand firefighters out doing what theydo best. When restaurants and smallbusinesses win, San Diegans win.”

The sidewalk café proposal limitsoutdoor expansion of a restaurant

to a single row of tables within 4 1/2feet of the building, while still allow-ing a clear path of travel on the side-walk without a barrier in between.The Planning Commission will lookat the proposed changes in Febru-ary and the Land Use & HousingCommittee will make recommenda-tions on the proposal in March.

With childhood obesity on therise, residual cuts to grade-schoolphysical education and healthprograms, and the advent ofaddicting entertainment technol-ogy, some children are strayingaway from physical exercise andrelying more on video games ortelevision to occupy their time.

Sports-based youth fitnessprovider Amazing Athletes hopesto counter that trend by gettingkids off the couch and into anactive classroom with year-roundprograms designed to get chil-dren moving through instruc-tional sports activities. The pro-gram focuses on preschool-agestudents as young as 2 years oldto help lay a strong foundation ofhealthy habits from an early age.

“A lot of other programs don’tfocus on kids this young, andwe’re really starting to get a highobesity rate in kids [aged] two tofour,” said Sonja Brummer,owner of four Amazing Athletesfranchises in San Diego. “We real-ly want to focus on getting themactive and show them that it canbe fun to be active.”

Through what she calls “posi-tive play,” Brummer explained

the program is neither a class-room environment nor free-playrecess. It utilizes the best of both— combining a fun outlet forenergy release with educationaldevelopment and discipline.

“We talk about eating healthy,getting your sleep and eatingyour fruits and vegetables,” shesaid. “We incorporate a lot ofthings from the classroom, too —letters, numbers, colors, animals,some math, sometimes Spanish— so it’s more than just a sportsprogram.”

At Little Steps ChristianPreschool on Mt. Soledead,preschoolers take weekly Amaz-ing Athletes classes to developmental, physical and cognitiveskills like hand-eye coordination,following directions, and speedand agility. Throughout the cur-riculum, students learn the basicsof nine sports, which are rotatedeach week throughout the year.

“At this age, we’re not so muchteaching them the rules of thegame. We’re teaching them howto kick, how to throw,” said

Trustees at the Feb. 7 meeting ofthe La Jolla Community PlanningAssociation (LJCPA) recommendeddenial of a proposed amendmentfor a previously approved site devel-opment permit for modifications toa partially built, abandoned and re-permitted project on a sloped site at7940 Costebelle Way.

Architect Claude AnthonyMarengo explained his client’srequest to modify some structureson the project, which was sold tohis client “as is” more than a yearago.

“It’s a mess currently now. It’s

been a mess for five years, empty.We are not the original architec-tural firm that started this,” he said.“We picked up this lot because ourclient wished to purchase it, and wehope somebody buys the secondone, too, so we can clean up thathill and get out of there.”

Marengo assured trustees thatthe proposed amendment to addguest quarters above the garagemeets all building code require-ments within the building envelope.

“We lowered our garage a littlebit to get a studio and guest quartersin. In doing that, we ended up with

a structure that met the regulationsfor guest quarters, which states thatyou need to be not be more than 21feet in height if it’s a flat roof or 30feet if it’s a sloped roof,” he said.“This structure from the street tothe top is 18 to 19 feet tall. All thebuildings around it are also two sto-ries, averaging about 22 to 26 feet,so it is in keeping with the characterof the neighborhood as you pass itin the street.”

Although Marengo assured theLJCPA that the proposed amend-ment complies with all buildingcodes, a number of neighbors fromacross Pottery Canyon to the east

addressed trustees at the meeting,questioning why the so-called“massive” structure was permittedin the first place.

“When you look from that posi-tion, that is, with respect, a massivestructure. It blocks out beautifulviews, it’s overpowering — and Ifully understand the size of theproperty — but from where I amviewing it and the people aroundme, it’s simply ginormous,” said 20-year Caminito Bello resident IrwinBelcher. “I was amazed and

Sentencing for Torrey Highlandsdrunken driver

A drunken driver who drove the

wrong way on a freeway in Torrey High-

lands and put another driver in a

wheelchair was sentenced Jan. 30 to

one year in custody, to be served in a

work furlough center.

The job Jennifer K. Sase, 38, has

qualifies her to be able to go to work in

the daytime, but she will be locked up

at nights and on weekends. San Diego

Superior Court Judge Tim Walsh

ordered her to report to the facility on

Feb. 7.

Sase, of Santee, pleaded guilty Dec.

19 to drunken driving with great bodi-

ly injury to Sayeh Solati, 61, who now

has to use a wheelchair because of

damage to her knee. Solati suffered

several fractures, including to her

neck, foot and knee, according to court

records.

Sase drove the wrong way on state

Route 56 on April 18 at 11:25 p.m. and

hit a car driven by Solati, which over-

turned near the exit to Camino del Sur.

Sase’s blood alcohol level was 0.18 —

twice the legal limit for drunken driv-

ing. Sase was given five years proba-

tion, with credit for eight days spent in

jail before she posted $25,000 bond.

Restitution to the victim will be deter-

mined later, Walsh said.

A California Highway Patrol officer

smelled alcohol on her breath and she

admitted to drinking before she drove

her 2004 Infiniti. A CHP officer wrote

in court records that Sase didn’t know

she was driving the wrong way on a

freeway due to her intoxication.

A wheelchair hasn’t kept 29-year-old Lindsey Shaw from learn-ing to dance. Neither has it deterredthe Bird Rock resident’s dance-classfriends from enjoying the freedom,fun and exercise of gliding theirwheels around a polished woodenfloor to the sound of upbeat music.

Shaw and the others will show-case their skills in an exhibition bySan Diego’s Wheelchair DancersOrganization on Saturday, Feb. 16from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Balboa ParkClub, 2150 Pan American RoadWest in Balboa Park. “A Perfect Cir-cle — An Adventure on Wheels,”which is free to the public, will alsoattempt to set a world record for thenumber of wheelchair dancers andtheir partners in one event.

The group is expecting morethan 40 couples, including“rollers” (wheelchair dancers) and“walkers” (standing partners). Inaddition to presentations of every-thing from the Spanish paso dobleto interpretative dance, there willbe open dancing for everyone thatshows up with manual or motor-ized wheels, as well as those whowant to partner with them.

The wheelchair-dance group issearching for sponsors and dona-tions that will defray event costs, aswell as help support classes andother activities. The group alsoneeds volunteer walkers, as well asmore venues for classes.

“My quest is to inspire other chal-lenged people and show howwheelchair dancing can make apositive impact on one’s body, mindand spirit,” said Beverly Weurding,a dancer before she was diagnosedwith muscular dystrophy whofounded the Wheelchair DancersOrganization. “There are no limi-tations, except the ones we placeupon ourselves.”

Shaw, who was born with spinabifida and began taking danceclasses about six months ago,agreeD. She said she doesn’t let herphysical challenges get in her way.

In fact, she’s been boxing from herchair for the last seven years andshe said she doesn’t think of herselfas disabled.

The Wheelchair Dancers Orga-nization got its start in 2009 withan assist from a ballroom-danceprogram at Sharp Grossmont Hos-pital. National grants for the hospi-tal’s rehabilitation center helpedexpand its wheelchair ballroom-dance program throughout SanDiego County and cover costs for11 custom-built sports wheel-chairs. The hospital continues tosupport local wheelchair-dancelessons.

Joe Torres, organization directorand choreographer for this week’s

showcase, has been teaching ball-room dance for two decades. Hestarted teaching wheelchair dancealmost three years ago after attend-ing an expo and seeing the enthu-siasm of the participants.

“I was hooked. I never got thatenthusiasm from my other class-es,” he said. “It is a really good feel-ing — and I like feeling good.”

He points out that wheelchairdancing offers such physical bene-fits as increased strength,endurance and range of motion, aswell as greater emotional wellbeing.

Torres, who thinks of himself asthe “dance whisperer,” teacheswheelchair dance Mondays from 5to 6 p.m. at Better Life Mobility,8130 Parkway Drive; Thursdaysfrom 11 a.m. to noon at the WarMemorial Building, 3325 ZooDrive, at the north end of the Zooparking lot; and Saturdays from 11a.m. to noon at Dance for 2, 7528

Who is establishing official positionsand opinions for the LJCPA?

The city of San Diego has determinedthat since the La Jolla CommunityPlanning Association is an advisorybody created by an action of the CityCouncil, the LJCPA is subject to (i) Cal-ifornia’s Open Meeting Law, the RalphM. Brown Act (“Brown Act”); (ii) SanDiego Council Policy 600-24; and (iii)The city-approved bylaws of the LJCPA.Each of the above documents gives ourcommunity group trustees a cleardirection how to precisely, openly andfairly conduct the business of our com-munity.

Despite being subject to the aboveregulations, LJCPA trustees continue toperform the business of our communi-ty using unauthorized policies and pro-cedures. They do this even though theCity Attorney’s Office and the SanDiego Development Services Depart-ment have strongly recommended thetrustees to memorialize their policiesand procedures into their city-approvedbylaws, thereby assuring compliancewith all of the above-mentioned regu-lations.

The most recent infraction of ourcommunity group occurred on Feb. 4with the filing of an environmentaldetermination appeal of a project at1328 Virginia Way. The appeal wasfiled by the group’s president, TonyCristifi, three days prior to the LJCPA’spublicly noticed Feb. 7 meeting.

The appeal was filed in violation ofthe Brown Act, City Council Policy600-24, Information Bulletin 620 andthe LJCPA’s city-approved bylaws, eachof which clearly states there must beopen discussions and voting by theLJCPA prior to taking an action.

To further compound the infraction,the trustees voted to ratify the appealwithout public comment or discussionregarding the reasons listed on the envi-ronmental determination appeal appli-cation filed by Mr. Crisafi.

There was also a second appeal filedon Feb. 4 of the environmental deter-mination of the same project. Thisappeal was filed by attorney JulieHamilton. Her clients include No ThreeStories, Save La Jolla, La Jolla Shores

Tomorrow, Taxpayers for ResponsibleLand Use and the La Jolla HistoricalSociety. The above-mentioned regula-tions, however, require the official posi-tions and opinions of the LJCPA shouldnot be established or determined by anyorganization other than the LJCPA, norby any elected trustee of the LJCPAother than one authorized to do so as aresult of a public vote taken at a noticedLJCPA meeting. Shockingly, the reasonslisted by Mr. Crisafi in the LJCPA appealare taken word for word from theappeal filed by Ms. Hamilton.

Mr. Crisafi, who is actually establish-ing the official positions and opinionsfor the LJCPA trustees?

Appreciation for mayor’s moves to protect the seals

Mayor Filner, Thank you so much for approving

the installation of the seal camera atChildren’s Pool Beach! What an incred-ible educational opportunity for peoplefrom all over the world to see harborseals in a natural, yet urban environ-ment.

Although I am grateful that you havelengthened the rope line to 152 feet,correcting the error from last season,some people, often encouraged by theprofessional harassers and their friends,do not adhere to the guideline viewingrequirements and cross the rope, dis-turbing many of the pregnant femaleseals from critical resting.

In past years of the pupping season,the first births took place at the end ofJanuary. If people occupy the beachclose to the waterline, the seals will notbe able to haul out. As a result, therewill not be a place to deliver and nur-ture their pups, which can cause infantmortality rates to rise. If the distancerequirements are enforced, we will havea pupping season that will amaze view-ers far and wide!

Thank you for caring and takingaction to protect the seals. Your nobleactions are appreciated by so many ofus who love the seals!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR >> Taking the place of a

well-loved managerIf you have just been hired

to replace someone whoseemed to have had no faultsand was well liked andrespected in the company, itmay look like an impossibleact to follow. But there arestrategies for handling succes-sion issues.

You do have a challengeahead of you, but by under-standing the dynamics, youcan plan an entry strategythat will make it easier. Whena well-loved manager leaves,employees may feel aban-doned. They are suffering theloss of a leader, perhaps afriend, someone whose man-agement style is familiar andwhose expectations, stan-dards and values are known.

Such employees will find ithard to accept the replace-ment. If the newcomerarrives soon after the prede-cessor’s departure, if no sepa-ration procedure took placeand if the emotional costs arenot well understood, every-one will have a hard timewith the change. In a way, asthe new person, you cannever take the place of thefavorite who came before.Intuitively, you wish that per-son never existed. However,you should honor that personwhile making yourself knownand carving out your ownniche.

Never disparage your pre-decessor’s accomplishments.Your new coworkers will bemore loyal to the person wholeft than to you, and anyundue criticism may brandyou as the enemy. If, as a newmanager, you are in a posi-

tion to make changes andwish to do so, invoke the spir-it of the respected predeces-sor. You might suggest thatyour program “builds” on thework done before and is prob-ably what would have beendone if he or she had contin-ued.

On occasion, you can checkthe changes with the personwho left and thereby receivehis or her blessings. Thechanges you recommend canthen bring credit to both ofyou, preparing your group fortransition to your ways ofthinking. Use accomplish-ments of the past as a stan-dard, such as:

“The short time it took youto change the molds on theproduction line last summerunder Smith set a new stan-dard for all of us to meet.”

You also can ask, “Howwould Smith have done it?”

Asking for information doesnot oblige you to do the job inthe same way, but it doesshow that you respect Smith’scompetence, as well as thegroup’s, and that you want totake full advantage of it. Youcan continue to invent, sothat you are not controlled bythe past and destined torepeat it, by asking, “Nowwhat can we do to improve?Do we have different circum-stances now that we musttake into consideration?”

Most people you meet in thecompany will put their bestfoot forward. Tension and dif-ficulties often are concealedor minimized. You will haveto be alert to subtle cues ofstrained relationships, terri-torialism, cliques, power cen-ters and the feelings peoplehave about the person you arereplacing.

How do you find out whatyou want to know? Ask ques-tions. Pay attention to theway in which people talkabout themselves and others.If you have the opportunityto see people interacting,watch how they treat eachother. Here are some ques-tions you may want to ask:

• Tell me about the person Iam replacing.

• What was he best knownfor?

• What were some of theproblems?

• How did she deal withthem?

Engaging employees keepsthem not only involved, butalso committed to the team.Only then can they becomereal partners with you.

When a well-lovedmanager leaves,employees may feelabandoned. Theyare suffering theloss of a leader,perhaps a friend,someone whosemanagement styleis familiar andwhoseexpectations,standards andvalues are known.

The week of Feb. 4-8 broughtnew “borders” to The Bishop’sSchool.

Students celebrated HumanRights Week with exhibits explor-ing the borders that inhibit self-expression, dignity and basichuman rights in various groups:in the school, the community,nationally and globally. The weekhighlighted the debates and con-troversies that underpin the impo-sition of such borders.

Each day, students examinednew issues of human rights. OnFeb. 4, the school was visited byDavid Shirk, director of the USDTrans-Border Institute, who dis-

cussed physical borders, particu-larly that between the U.S. andMexico. Students also heard fromCarlos Martell, a member of theschool’s foreign-languages depart-ment, about his immigrant experi-ence.

On Feb. 6, the theme was genderand sexuality borders, with apanel discussion led by facultyfrom UCSD, as well as an inter-faith dialogue on issues of genderand sexuality.

Racial and religious borderswere explored on Feb. 7 with“GlobeFest,” during which 11pavilions were set up on schoolgrounds to showcase regions of

the world representing the her-itage of Bishop’s community, com-plete with food, border-crossingstories and cultural items.

Kip Fulbeck, artist, spoken-wordperformer, author and filmmaker,provided the keynote speech on

Feb. 8, exploring multiracial iden-tity. Fulbeck, who has been fea-tured on CNN, MTV, The TodayShow and PBS, is a professor of artat UC Santa Barbara.

The entire Human Rights Weekevent, whose purpose was to iden-tify and break down discriminato-ry boundaries, was organized by acommittee of students: seniorsKaleb Crawford, Eamon Johnston,Hope Sailer, Melissa Zucker; andjuniors Alex Kilman, KamranJamil, Lily Mojdehi; as well as fac-ulty advisor David Moseley.

First, you must visit them in per-son to see what their home

looks like and how you can help.Look for the warning signs of this decline -- unpaidbills, messy desks where there used to be organization,sending many checks to charities, falling down multipletimes and falling prey to scams. Our parents are froma generation of independence and often fight with any-one that wants to interefere with them. We have to pro-tect them and assist them, however determining whento do so is difficult.If it is impossible for you to come to visit your parent, have a trusted neighbor or friendlook in on them as they may not be entirely honest with you or themselves.The first step is to talk to them in a non judgmental manner. Would they like help? Dothey have written documents in place to allow someone to assist them? Powers of attor-neys for healthcare and for financial affairs should be done for them so they can choosewho will be involved. They may also need wills and living trusts. Take your parent to theirattorney to discuss the issues. Good luck and ask for assistance.

With the recent developments atSan Diego Hospice (SDH) — start-ing with a Medicare audit question-ing how the organization qualifiespatients for reimbursement andending with SDH applying forChapter 11 bankruptcy on Feb. 4— San Diego has been left to won-der what will become of the hos-pice care that was once so readilyavailable.

Swooping in to answer that ques-tion is one of the region’s largesthealth-care providers, ScrippsHealth. With SDH’s ongoing inves-tigation and resultant downsizing,Scripps — the largest referralsource for SDH — has stepped in torelieve some of the deluge ofpatients.

“We’ve never opened our ownhospice because the communityneeds were being met by San DiegoHospice, Elizabeth Hospice andother hospices in the community,”

said Chris Van Gorder, Scripps pres-ident and CEO. “We wereapproached a couple months ago[by SDH] when they realized theywere going to have these chal-lenges, because we were all con-cerned. They were concerned, andI was concerned, about the patientsbeing cared for in hospice and wewanted to make sure together thattheir care would not be disruptedin any way.”

At the suggestion of SDH, Scrippsmade the decision to go into thehospice business. And becausebecoming a new hospice careprovider in California entails a longand arduous licensing process,Scripps decided to purchase asmaller organization, Poway-basedHorizon Hospice, allowing patientcare to begin — and continue, forHorizon’s existing patients —almost immediately, as opposed tothe delay that could have taken up

to a year.“We were concerned that San

Diego Hospice’s challenges mightnot permit a long ramp up andlicensing process, so that’s why wepurchased a hospice instead,” VanGorder said. “Now we have the

licensure in place already.”As to the question of how SDH,

the state’s largest hospice, founditself in this situation in the firstplace — and how other providerscan assure they don’t suffer a sim-ilar fate — Van Gorder admitted“there are individuals concernedabout the rigid rules Medicare hasset up around patients that qualifyfor hospice care.”

“But the way I look at it is thatrules are rules,” he said. “There area lot of hospice organizationsaround the country that are follow-ing the rules, and it requires a lot ofadministrative and clinical over-sight. And who knows — maybethe rules will change over time. Butour responsibility — and we’re aheavily regulated industry, andthat’s the reason we have a signifi-cant compliance department — isto make sure we do everything wecan to follow the guidelines set up

by the government.”In the meantime, Horizon, which

was operating as a for-profit hos-pice, will eventually be convertedto a not-for-profit organization overthe next few months. Presently,Scripps has only Horizon’s existingpatients in its care, but the relative-ly quick nature of the purchasemeans it now has the ability tobegin accepting new patients —including those who may other-wise have been turned away fromSDH.

“Obviously, this is not somethingwe were planning on doing,” VanGorder said. “But we try to doeverything we do well, and we willdo that in this case, as well. And, ofcourse, we will be monitoring thedevelopments at San Diego Hospiceclosely, just as rest of communitywill.”

Valentine’s Day comes around once a year to remind us thatromance is still alive. So we mark the day, buy some roses orchocolate and take our significant other — or our fellow singlefriends — out to dinner. But do we — or should we — reallyneed this annual reminder? Some might even argue that thesedays, Valentine’s Day merely serves as a way for greeting-cardcompanies to make money and spouses in the doghouse tomake up for a year’s worth of relationship faux pas.

So what keeps us from celebrating romance every day — orat least several days — of the year? Could it be that perhaps cou-ples, especially those who have shared many years together,have run out of ways to show their commitment? Have we for-gotten how to take our loved ones on a date?

For those who feel like they’re tapped out of ideas for show-ing their other half a good time, here’s a one-stop resource for

putting together the perfect date, categorized by relationshippersonality.

Are you and your mate adventurous? Do you crave speed —in the form of extreme sports or off-the-beaten-path experiences— in your relationship? Or are you the artsy types, who like towander through museums and galleries, in search of thatinspiring work of art or that perfect complement to your col-lection? Perhaps you are a casual couple, who prefers an easynight out with a good movie and some grub from one of theneighborhood’s newest eateries, or maybe you two cametogether because of your love of all things gourmet, and a per-fect date includes exploring some avant-garde menu creationsor even an experience where you can learn some new tricks inthe kitchen for yourselves.

Whatever your shared predilections, you’ll find below an

entire day’s datedevoted to eachrelationship per-

sonality. Mix andmatch them if you

find activities frommore than one category

fit you and your mate’s dis-position. Or, if you don’t have

an entire day, take one or twoactivities and save the rest for later. Whatever you do, set asidesome time to take out your significant other — and it doesn’thave to be on Valentine’s Day. After all, we don’t need a holidayto appreciate each other — just finding each other in a worldof 7 billion people ought to be enough.

“Simply a Wednesday night con-sisting of pizza and beer.” (Thoughif she were shooting for the stars,“a hot air balloon ride in Thai-land.”)

— Hailey Clippinger

“I love the beach, so I it should be some-thing outside. I imagine my guy having atable with two glasses of wine, chocolate,candles and maybe a card. Hopefully thiswill turn into a reality one day.”

— Rafa Mwais

“My husband and I just love get-ting away by ourselves. It justkicks it up a notch.”

— Sue Hardman

“A picnic in the park.”— Mary Mangione

COMMUNITYVOICE >> What’s your ideal date?

Craving some high-flying adventure with your date? La Jolla offers all kinds of extreme experi-

ences to get your blood flowing. Check this date for the never-boring couple:

NOON — Arrive at the Torrey Pines Glider Port with a packed picnic lunch. Enjoy the awesome

scenery while you wait for the ideal winds to pick up for the hang-gliding adventure of your life

(winds are usually best between 1 and 3 p.m.)

2:30 p.m. — Head down the beach to La Jolla Shores, where you have your pick of dozens of

kayaking companies. See the caves or enjoy the open water in a quintessential La Jolla experience.

5 p.m. — As you might be a bit peckish by now, head to The Promiscuous Fork

at 6984 La Jolla Blvd. It’s sure to satisfy your adventurous cravings.

10:30 p.m. — If you’re still awake after your high-octane day, check

out Birch Aquarium’s grunion run on the beach for some educational

adventure. (Check times of year)

If you and your significant other love to make food, talk about food, consume food or learn aboutfood, here’s the ideal romantic outing:NOON to 4 p.m. — Take a culinary tour of La Jolla. The area has cuisine from every culture andprice range imaginable. Hit up a variety of places, like Brockton Villa (perfect for the start of theday, with its world-famous Coast Toast), Herringbone, The Marine Room, George’s, Kitma Extraor-dinary Thai, Finch’s, Trulucks, and so on. Be sure to opt for small plates so you don’t fill up toofast! 4:30 p.m. — If you’re looking for some new gear to outfit your state-of-the-art kitchen (or if youjust enjoy window shopping), take some time to browse the offerings at places like Sur La Tableand Williams Sonoma.6 p.m. — Okay, you’ve tasted the gourmet food, now learn to cook it. Take a cooking class at anyof La Jolla’s many venues: Cups La Jolla, Harvard Cooking Girl or LaJollaCooks4U are just some.

Perhaps you and your partner enjoy noth-

ing so much as browsing art galleries or

taking in the latest exhibit at any of the

city’s great museums. Here’s a possible

itenerary to satisfy your need for culture:

tenance for your day of walking through

exhibits.

museum to see the latest installments. *Note: If your date

happens to fall on the first Thursday of the month, save this

until the evening, when the museum is free from 5 to 7 p.m.

4 p.m. — If you haven’t gotten your fill of art (and when do

we ever?), head on over to the concentration of art galleries

in the Village. Be sure to check out Madison Gallery, Con-

temporary Fine Arts, Legends Gallery, Quint Contempo-

rary Art, R.B. Stevenson, Martin Lawrence and countless

other art havens. Check individual galleries for when open-

ing exhibits might be happening. You could score some

face time with some of the featured artists.

6 p.m. — Head on over to Turquoise Street for some drinks,

tapas and live music at Café-Bar Europa. Jazz always goes

with a day of art.

7:30 p.m. — If you’re still up for some artistic action,

head over to the La Jolla Playhouse for some staged art.

(Tickets recommended in advance)

easy grub at a place likePuesto.

Heart disease, while historical-ly thought of as a men’s prob-

lem, is in fact the No. 1 killer ofwomen, more deadly than all formsof cancer combined. Accordingly,the American Heart Association(AHA) instituted its “Go Red forWomen” movement 10 years ago toraise awareness of the problem, helpfund medical research and educatewomen about what they can do tohelp themselves. As a result, largenumbers of women have madehealthy behavior changes, morethan 627,000 women have beensaved from heart disease and 330fewer women are dying per day.

To celebrate the movement’s 10th

anniversary, about 650 people —mostly women dressed in red —gathered at the Hilton La Jolla TorreyPines last week for “An Affair of theHeart.” Chaired by Lori DeMaria andReena Horowitz, the event beganwith a two-hour “expo” offeringheart-health information andscreenings so women could havetheir glucose, cholesterol and bloodpressure measured, because “know-ing one’s numbers” facilitates mak-ing the right lifestyle choices. Guestsalso enjoyed a big silent auction andchampagne served with raspberries.

A tasty, but healthy, lunch wasserved, and models took the runwayfor an energetic and colorful Zandra

Rhodes fashion show featuring fab-ulous designs and great music. Fiveof the enthusiastic models wereheart attack and stroke survivors,now quite healthy and carrying redhelium balloons. Near the show’sconclusion, models strewed thou-sands of festive red rose petals alongthe runway before designer Rhodesjoined all the models for a finalparade.

Emcee Barbara-Lee Edwards andthe event co-chairs continued theprogram. They called attention to thered business-card cases each partic-ipant had received, with a specialcard listing heart attack and strokewarning signs for easy reference.

Five amazing, talented, generoushonorees were introduced. Each ofthese legendary women of the heart— Betty Beyster, Marye Anne Fox,Joan Jacobs, Jeanne Jones and Dar-lene Shiley — stood and received abouquet of flowers and heartyapplause. In a video, they each gaveencouraging advice about stayingheart-healthy.

Melissa Mitchell gave the keynoteaddress. She told her personal story,relating the discovery of her owndangerous congenital heart condi-tion, and subsequently those of heryoung son and daughter. Her touch-ing and emotional account of theircomplex and difficult treatments

illustrated the importance of themedical research funded largely byAHA. Fortunately, there’s a happyending — all are doing quite welltoday, and her children joined her onstage, much to the audience’sdelight.

Melissa encouraged listeners topledge donations to AHA to fundresearch and prevention programs,and said that her own family had col-lected $250 to donate. Overall, AHAhopes to raise $400,000 to$500,000 through this event tofund research in San Diego. Theirnext fundraiser is the annual HeartBeach Ball, happening June 8 at theHotel Del Coronado.

Longtime La Jolla resident AnneRing is offering up a slice of life.Several slices, in fact, with therelease of her second book, “ASummer in the Hills, and OtherStories.”

A collection of short stories alltaking place between 1940 and1980 and set in India, England,Ireland and the U.S., the bookdepicts vignettes of differentwomen of different ages —though it’s not a coincidence thatall the featured locales figure bigin the author’s life. The storiesthemselves are not autobiograph-ical, but moments in Ring’s lifecan often be found at their core.

“I just took instances from mylife and embellished them — dra-

matized them if you like,” shesaid. “The stories in the book real-ly came from my imaginationrather than real life — although Idid, of course, use certain circum-stances, places and people asprops.”

A native of London, England,who spent part of her childhoodin India, Ring arrived here in the

early 1960s. “I left London in the dim and

distant past. I remember it wasraining when I left so the contrastwhen I first saw La Jolla wasincredible, as you can imagine,”Ring said. “But it was also a shockbecause I was used to the hustleand bustle of everyday life in Lon-don and by com-

parison La Jolla was like a little vil-lage in the heart of the Englishcountryside.”

Her time spent in India as achild — her father’s regiment wasstationed there — is indeliblyetched in her mind. It was also theplace where she was first bitten bythe writing bug.

“When we left India I was 9years old, so you see the memo-ries I have of living in India arestill very vivid,” she said. “Iremember writing little poems

when I was at school in Indiaand certainly by the age of 14 I

was writing little stories.”Until fairly recently, Ring has

never bothered to save muchof her work — “I just chucked

them out,” she said. She did, how-ever, hold on to the stories thatcomprise “A Summer in the Hills,”and seeing them in print, she said,provided a much-needed sense ofrelief, “because I’d been carryingthem around in my head for yearsand they got in the way when Iwas trying to write other things.So now they are out of my headand into a book and I can go on toother things.”

Ring will discuss and sign herbook at Warwick’s, 7812 GirardAve., during the bookstore’s“Weekend with Locals” event onSunday, Feb. 24 from noon to 2p.m. For more information or tofind other “Weekend with Locals”events, visit www.warwicks.com.

If you are considering purchas-ing a condominium, a club

dominium, a townhouse or even asingle-family detached home with-in a private community, you maycome face-to-face with the HOA —homeowner’s association. In cer-tain areas of San Diego, and partic-ularly in La Jolla, HOAs are domi-nant. In fact, San Diego Countyclaims more than 6,500 HOAsoperate for the benefit of theirrespective housing communities.

A homeowner’s association is alegal entity, originally created bythe builder. The intent is somewhatself-governing, giving the powersto the condominium owners to col-lect fees, maintain common areas,enforce maintenance and designstandards, hire property managersand enforce CC&Rs (covenants,conditions and restrictions).

Some owners love the HOAbecause it enforces consistencyand uniformity regarding exteriorappearances, while others protestthat the rules restrict personalexpression. Regardless, most own-ers living with an HOA do enjoypaying someone else to manage,maintain and upkeep the exteriorand common areas.

Sometime before the close ofescrow, you will receive a set ofHOA documents, which will likelybe 100 pages or more, and may atfirst appear to be intimidating. Aswith all real estate-related docu-ments, it is critical to review andunderstand these documents.

These are not to be placedin a sealed moving box,not to be read for monthsor years to come. TheHOA documents will typi-cally include (1) bylawsand original charter; (2)history of changes or

modifications and the respectivevoting status; (3) recent month’sfinancial statements; and (4)CC&Rs.

HOA rules and regulations applyequally to each owner, and theyare not negotiable, nor can they bemodified to suit the whims of eachowner. One way to change theHOAs in the future is to activelyparticipate on the board of direc-tors and petition for change and topresent the changes for a majorityvote. Probably the three mostimportant sections of the full set ofHOA documents are the financialstatements, CC&Rs and any cur-rent or pending legal actions.

The financial statements gener-ally are not difficult to understand.If in doubt, however, seek out anaccountant or someone you trustto interpret them for you. You wantto understand the sources of funds(i.e., where the money is comingfrom — monthly fees, increases,decreases and owner defaults ordelinquencies) and the applicationof funds — who gets them andhow much is spent.

It is important to note sufficientfunds to pay for operating expens-es, and that there is sufficientexcess to contribute to the reserveaccount. The reserve account iswhere many HOAs have difficulty.The reserve is nothing more thanthe equivalent of a savingsaccount where funds are beingaccumulated to adequately pay forlarge, lesser-recurring events like

elevator and roof replacement,pool and spa resurfacing, lobbyupgrades, etc. If at some point inthe future, the reserve account isinadequate or if a significant andunexpected expense arises, theHOA may levy a special assessmentagainst each owner. This may takethe form of a one-time lump-sumcash assessment or a pro-ratedincrease added to future monthlyfees, until such time as the deficit iseliminated.

The CC&Rs are a set of govern-ing rules that apply to the use orrestricted use and access of com-mon areas, with regard to parkingspaces, pool and spa regulations,use of social or meeting rooms,

rental terms (should own-ers choose to rent theirunits), window and doordesigns, exterior paint col-ors, interior construc-tion or remodeling, etc.These rules generallyapply to owners, visitors andrenters.

Lastly, you want to search thedocuments for any notification oflegal action (past, present or pend-ing) and any complaints, especial-ly those related to defects voiced byowners. Each of these may suggesta future liability — and any liabil-ity represents the likelihood ofadditional costs to the owners.

astounded at how a structure like thiswas ever passed.”

Other neighbors encouragedtrustees to recommend view studiesfor the project to determine if thestructure does, in fact, have a signifi-cant impact on the views of those innearby neighborhoods.

“To add additional mass, to blockadditional views from folks that havebeen here for a long, long time … istragic to us. People have propertyrights. This is America, that’s fine, butI really hope that they would take intoconsideration that what they’ve got,they’ve got, and that’s more thanenough to be adequate and compat-ible with the neighborhood,” said LaJolla Scenic Drive North resident JimKelly. “Please don’t block our viewsanymore.”

Marengo reminded trustees thatthe view from neighbors on Camini-to Bello and La Jolla Scenic DriveNorth are private views, not dedicat-ed public views.

“Every property that is deemed aproperty in San Diego has the right tobuild within their building envelope,and they have to meet the criteria forbulk and scale in that manner,” hesaid. “This project is textbook to howyou would step down a slope and sep-arate structures to meet height limit.”

Trustee Phil Merton raised severalissues about technical inconsistencieswith the San Diego Municipal Code,

including inadequate parking anddiscretionary judgments that are notin conformance to the La Jolla ShoresPlanned District Ordinance, such asthe building’s front façade setbackbeing inconsistent with adjacentproperties in the neighborhood anddisrupting the architectural unity ofthe neighborhood.

The county’s tax assessor toldBird Rock residents real-estate val-ues have begun to rise again, butextremely slowly because of thelack of inventory on the market.

“I was elected in 2010 and Ireorganized to be more efficient,reopening two offices that hadbeen closed putting all our formsonline so there are no lines in ouroffices,” Ernie Dronenburg told theBird Rock Community Council(BRCC) on Feb. 5 at the advisorygroup’s monthly meeting at Vocedel Mare Restaurant.

Dronenburg discussed the sta-tus of real estate values and whatto look forward to.

Head of the San Diego CountyTax Assessor’s Office, Dronenburgoversees a department with fiveoffices and scores of employees incharge of valuation assessmentsfor 987,000 real-estate parcelscountywide recording 939,000legal documents totaling morethan 3.5 million pages.

Dronenburg said homeownerscan fill out forms online to appealtheir properties’ value having itreappraised these days.

“There’s no obligation, no cost,you just fill the form in and usethree comparables (similar proper-ties),” he said. “It used to take twoyears for people to find out whetheror not their (valuation) appeal wasgranted,” a time interval which

has since been halved, he said.“This year our appeals are down

almost 30 percent from lastyear,” he said. “We get peopleanswers and we get them quick-ly.”

The real-estate market hasreached a valuation turnaround,Dronenburg said, but he offeredthis caveat: “It’s going to go up real,real slowly,” adding “the drag onthe market is the lack of supply —not a lack of demand.”

Dronenberg said there’s a pre-ponderance of “phantom invento-ry” — homes in financial limbo inbetween when they go into defaultand are foreclosed on and repos-sessed by banks — continuing tobe a drag on the market.

Another problem, he noted, ispeople whose homes are “underwater” (valued at less than what’sowed on them).

“Historically when you comeout of a recession, there’s a bigraise in housing prices throughinflation,” he said, adding that sce-nario is yet to happen since the2008 real estate downturn.

“The bottom line is those ele-ments have caused a drop in theinventory, that’s why you’re hear-ing about the market going up, butreal slowly.”

Dronenberg predicted propertyvalues will rise a total of 1 to 2 per-cent next year.

IN OTHER ACTION:• Michelle Fulks of Neighbor-

hood Watch warned residents thatsolicitors have returned to theneighborhood, cautioning neigh-bors against opening their doors tostrangers, no matter the time ofday.

• BRCC board member BarbaraDunbar gave a report on the com-munity’s Maintenance AssessmentDistrict, noting there are ongoingproblems with plantings and sprin-kler heads damaged in landscapedmedians due to vehicular incur-sions. She said landscaping may bepatchy in some spots while plantsare being replaced, adding it’s moredifficult in wintertime to get manyplant species to grow. She encour-aged residents to report landscape-related problems to [email protected].

• Dunbar noted four of ninemedian lights installed during aJan. 13 dedication ceremony hon-oring the late George Sutton havedeveloped electrical problems andare out.

“We are in the process of dealingwith it,” she said.

• Teacher Lorene LaCava gave anupdate on Bird Rock ElementarySchool, noting a recent electronic-waste recycling event netted$3,500, which will be used for cap-ital improvements at the school.

“Any kid can do this. We’ve hadkids with disabilities, like cerebralpalsy, and the doctors recommendit,” she said. “We had one girl inparticular who, when she firststarted, couldn’t even hold up thebaseball bat. Within a year or two,she was swinging the bat like itwas nothing.”

In addition to brain and motor-skill development, the programhelps children build self-confi-dence when it comes to social andphysical activity in grade school.

“By the time they get to elemen-tary school, they probably have awider knowledge of sports thanother kids. We try to get themahead of the game,” she said.

The wide range of sports thestudents are exposed to helps tokeep them from getting “frustratedwhen they’re in elementary schoolin PE or in team sports,” Brummersaid.

“I always get extra sad when itcomes time for them to leave theschools, especially when we’ve hadthem for so many years,” she said.“At the same time, it’s so great tosee them develop a love for sportsand activities and to see themprogress from when they couldbarely walk to running, jumpingand kicking.”

Amazing Athletes offers year-round program registration, birth-day parties and camps for childrenof all ages. Franchise opportuni-ties are also available. Visitwww.amazingathletes.com or call(888) 228-3942 for more infor-mation.

by tow-ins.Derek Dunfee is one of these

big wave-riding purists. The 30-year-old professional surfer grewup at Windansea Beach and stilllives there today. He developed ataste for thick, powerful wavesriding the reefs of La Jolla andthen tackling the giant surf offthe Isla de Todos Santos nearEnsenada. He first surfed at HalfMoon Bay’s Mavericks in Novem-ber 2004.

A winter break off Pillar Pointnear the village of Princeton-by-the-Sea, Mavericks was named in1961 after a surfer’s Germanshepherd that routinely followedhis master into the break. Aquarter-mile offshore, the wavedoesn’t even begin to breakunless the swells are solidly over10 feet and the location can eas-ily hold waves with 40-foot-plusfaces.

The water is cold, and the waverises up and pitches out withincredible power delivering majorpunishment to the surfer whodoesn’t successfully make the ele-vator drop-in. Brutal underwaterhold-downs are guaranteed aftera wipe out and giant rocks awaitif one is swept inside. Two world-class big wave riders — Mark Fooand Sion Milosky — have diedafter wiping out and drowning at

Mavericks. “I thought Mavericks was the

scariest wave I had ever seen,”recalls Dunfee about his first timepaddling out. He paid someheavy dues there and in otherbig-wave locations culminatingin a Billabong XXL Monster Pad-dle Award in 2009 for a beast ofa wave he caught and rode atMavericks.

On Jan. 20, the Mavericks Invi-tational big wave-riding competi-tion was held for the first timesince 2010, during which arogue wave unexpectedly rolledfar onshore, knocking down andinjuring dozens of spectatorswho were swept along the steep

cliff beach by a flood of water. Dunfee was selected as an

alternate to compete in this year’sevent. It’s a prestigious honor tobe invited, and though a spot did-n’t open up for him during thecontest, he was on hand to tack-le the waves before and after theevent.

“I rode a 10-foot Stu Kenson-shaped board and the conditionswere perfect, although veryinconsistent,” he said.

The waves were in the 12- to15-foot range, with sunny skiesand a light wind. The beach wasclosed for spectators after thewave carnage of 2010, but anearby festival was held in

Princeton with a live, big-screenfeed being aired for the thousandswho showed up to watch thespectacle, and to watch 43-year-old Mavericks veteran Peter Melwin this year’s event.

“Peter Mel is one of the bestMavericks surfers ever,” Dunfeesaid afterward. “He still catcheshuge waves every swell and hedeserved the win.”

Dunfee is now waiting for thelast few big swells of the winter athome in La Jolla, and he hopes toscore some size at Isla de TodosSantos, as well. He is an alternateat Waimea Bay’s annual TheQuiksilver In Memory of EddieAikau big-wave competition onOahu’s North Shore. Known as“The Eddie,” the prestigious eventis held only when the waves areconsistently in the 20- to 25-footrange.

In the meantime, Dunfeewatches the weather charts,studies the swell forecasts andtakes out a Pat Curren-shapedbig wave board for some rides atthe local La Jolla reefs when thesurf gets big enough. Curren —father of surfing icon Tom Cur-ren and a big wave-riding pioneerin the 1950s — cut his teeth onthe punchy waves off La Jolla,much like Dunfee, who is proudto be part of the new generationof committed big wave surfers,pushing the edge of skill to newlimits and loving every minute ofit.

Though Torres admitted thereare some limits to dancing in awheelchair — “You can’t countsteps out and there are no lifts ordrops” — the impediments werefewer than some might think.

“They’re great people who justhappen to be in wheelchairs,” hesaid of his dancers, some of whomhe said find the classes to be soimportant that they’ll take up tothree hours to get ready and takethe bus to class. “And they don’tmiss a class.”

It’s no coincidence that one ofthe group numbers at this week’sexhibition will feature a dance to“Stand by Me,” said Torres, point-ing to both his enthusiastic rollersand the men and women whostand by them.

Are your elderly parents resistant to what you suggest

Has this happened to you before? You arepretty sure that your Mom and Dad aren’t eat-ing right, aren’t getting out for shopping ordoctor’s appointments and just seem to behaving more problems than usual. You wantto help but they always say, “I’ll think aboutit” or “maybe later.”

Sometimes approaching them in a differ-ent manner makes all the difference. Successmay happen when you suggest change bytaking into account their value system orneeds.

1) They worry about the cost. Pay for thecaregiver as a gift to them. Ask all the siblingsto chip in a little each month.

2) Negotiate with them and avoid puttingthem down or being sarcastic.

3) Ask them why they don’t want help andanswer their fears with factual answers.

4) Tell them how worried you are. Sayyou’ll be helping my peace of mind not “Youshould.”

5) If they need a caregiver in the home,start small, address their concerns about los-ing control and let them choose the days andhours to come.

Hiring a geriatric care manager to assessyour parent’s will help recognize whethertheir resistance is coming from a cognitivedeficit, she can talk things over with theirdoctor. You love and respect your parents andtrying to help them keep a good quality of lifecan be frustrating with guidance and support.

Real EstateToday

We are in trouble. The US is losingits international edge. Our treasury-bond market is no longer the No. 1safe haven of choice when the stockmarket suffers from bad news in theeconomy.

It has been reported that since therecent inauguration, those lookingto place capital are more often choos-ing investment-grade corporatebonds to put their money in than U.S.Treasury bonds when moving fundsout of stocks into a safer haven. Onthe other hand, the housing marketis looking up.

According to Lawrence Yun,National Association of Realtorschief economist, the market share ofdistressed sales will continue to fallfrom its 2012 level of about 25 per-cent to a lower 8 percent level by2014. Foreclosures and short salesare working their way through ourfiscal landscape. Locally, we haveseen an increase in home-sale activ-ity with prices going up, causingmany of the clients I am helpingwith mortgages to offer above ask-ing price. Golly, could we be headingto a seller’s market?

You’ll be happy to know that wecan all count on Capt. Brian Ahearnand his teams of men and women

in blue to keep you and that newhome safe. Several of us in the com-munity are trying to do the same forthem. Their storefront on OlneyStreet where officers go to writereports, take necessary breaks, eat ameal or interview perpetrators is indeplorable condition.

The city has no funds to make thenecessary repairs, but you can helpwith a donation or skill. Dewhurstand Associates have graciouslydonated their time to manage thejob.

Things are looking up for thepolice and the real-estate market. Sellnow while buyers are bidding pricesup. Buy now before your dreamhome gets away from you. Asalways, contact a Realtor for the pro-

fessional help you need, and remem-ber the men and women who keepus safe when we are in trouble.

QuickHitsJim Holland launches residential brokerage

Jim Holland is pleased to announce the found-ing of La Jolla Home Finder, a new residential realestate brokerage.

With an extensive professional background inelectronic engineering, Holland has a uniqueunderstanding of how to evaluate and select themost effective technologies for serving his clients.He explained that, “Using advanced technologyhas not only allowed me to quickly research prop-erty information for my buyers, it has also helpedme maximize the exposure my sellers’ homesreceive.”

Though his feet are firmly planted in the digitalage, Holland believes that there will always be aneed for agents to hold open houses, show prop-erties and network with their colleagues. “I love

working directly with people and I’m passionateabout the real estate business,” said Holland, whoholds an MBA in Marketing and Management.

Holland added that he developed an interest inreal estate from his experiences with numeroushome remodeling projects over the years. He cred-its the experiences for giving him a complex knowl-edge of building materials and practices, as well asa talent for visualizing the potential of specificproperties.

Guided by a sense of responsibility to his clients,Holland earned the Senior Real Estate Specialistdesignation, Accredited Buyer’s Representative des-ignation, Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource cer-tification, Accredited Staging Professional, and Bro-ker Price Opinion Resource certification.
