Helix Park ‘Yawkey Trail’ Perfect for Contemplation Most of us take some time each New Year to review the past and contemplate the future. Quieting the mind from everyday worries is not easy, but removing yourself to a natural environment helps. And La Mesa residents have an especially beautiful spot close at hand to do just that. Mt. Helix Park recently unveiled a new quarter-mile nature trail, the irst formal trail in the Park. The trail was inspired by two people, Mary Carpenter Yawkey, the mother to whom the Park is dedicated, and Miles Stepich, a long- time advocate for a formal trail. Nearly 100 years ago, Mrs. Yawkey would walk to the summit of an uninhabited mountain (now the top of Mt. Helix) to sit and enjoy the view and contemplate life. Later, Mr. Stepich, a long time resident of Mt. Helix and supporter of the Park Foundation, envisioned a trail where people could leave the beaten path to enjoy nature. After his death in 2009, Miles’ family established a fund to help with the building of a proper trail. Last November, his vision became a reality as more than 50 volunteers began carving a modest trail from the southern, western and northern hillside. Under the direc- tion of John Mead and Jeff Safford, six work parties labored to create this new nature experience. Thanks to regular work day volunteers and crews from the La Mesa Neighbors: Tom and Julie Karlo KPBS General Manager and his wife are long-time residents By Patti Anderson La Mesa has long been known as the perfect community to raise children and establish roots that will last for generations. You need look no further than longtime residents Tom and Julie Karlo for proof. Their story is a saga of dedication and family-irst priori- ties that has led to great professional successes, a loving 38-year marriage, three children and four grandchildren who have stayed in or near the neigh- borhood to make their own lives. Tom has contributed most of his professional career to KPBS Public Broadcasting and is now its top execu- tive and general manager, and Julie, has spent many years in the nonproit ield. After 37 years in La Mesa, the Karlos see the community as an ideal home base. When asked what has been the catalyst for their lifelong commitment to the La Mesa area, the answer is simple. According to Tom…“La Mesa has always provided the structure a family needs to grow and thrive. Stability and support is the key to any accomplishment.” State Champions! Helix Knocks Off NorCal’s Best in CIF Division II Bowl Scotties speed by Del Oro High School 35-24 to complete near perfect season, win first state title By Ken Stone La Mesa Patch Darrien Oliver leaped high into the stands, joining his fans.

But Helix Charter High School wore Eagle’s wings on December 17, after beating the best Division II high school team in Northern Cali- fornia 35-24 in the state championships.

Food trucks have grown greatly in popularity over the past few months, with food truck gatherings nearly every day of the week in places like Mira Mesa, Normal Heights, Chula Vista, San Marcos, La Mesa, Point Loma, Hillcrest, and Paciic Beach. These gatherings usually feature a rotating selection of several trucks parked together in a parking lot, creating a makeshift social eating extravaganza. Such a gathering can be seen from 5-8 pm. on “Food Truck Fridays,” at the corner of Palm and Allison in La Mesa, the former location of the Friday Farmer’s Market. Note: Because these are recurring events, details can change frequently. Details can be conirmed by visiting http://wp.me/p1toAU-s7 or @sdfoodtrucks on Twitter.

PLAZA DE PANAMA:
CARS OR PEOPLE?By David Marshall, AIA
The choice is quite simple: Cars or people?
Should Balboa Park be a drive-thru or walk-thru
experience?
Since 1918, other than during the 1935-36
exposition, cars, trucks and buses have domi-
nated the heart of Balboa Park. The historic
uses and beauty of the Plaza de Panama, Plaza
de California, West El Prado, Esplanade and
Pan American Road have all been sacriiced for
the automobile. For more than 60 years park
supporters and city planners have tried to chase
cars out of the core of Balboa Park. But there is
no magic bullet to achieve this goal and the lack
of inancial resources has allowed this problem to
persist and worsen.
When Mayor Jerry Sanders approached
philanthropist Irwin Jacobs to help rid the Plaza
de Panama of cars Dr. Jacobs quickly realized
that the issue extended beyond just the central
plaza, which had become a parking lot, trafic
circle and throughway. Dr. Jacobs saw the stark
contrast between the people-friendly East El
Prado and the car crazy West El Prado. The East
El Prado was reclaimed for pedestrians back in
1973 – why couldn’t we do the same thing for
the entire El Prado in time for the Exposition
Centennial in 2015?
The solution developed by Dr. Jacobs will
completely remove cars from El Prado and
its related plazas, freeing up 6.3 acres of new
parkland. When was the last time you heard a
plan proposed for the park that increased park-
land? Dr. Jacobs formed the Plaza de Panama
Committee to not only oversee this ambitious
plan, but to fund it with private donations.
Trafic studies show that at least 80% of
park visitors arrive by car. So when you remove
7,000 daily autos from the core of the park you
must give cars somewhere else to go. The Plaza
de Panama Committee is proposing a new
bridge from the east end of the Cabrillo Bridge
to re-route vehicles around the rear of the build-
ings to a long-planned underground paid parking
SAVE BALBOA PARKBy Bruce Coons, Executive Director,
Save Our Her itage Organization (SOHO)
The proposed remodel and redesign of
Balboa Park is simply a bad plan. It is the
epitome of reverse urban planning. Inlexible,
permanent, with no smart or innovative trans-
portation solutions, no restoration of historic
features or spaces, and no plan for maintenance
or future park needs. Instead, a brutal and
destructive approach was taken for what was
originally a goal of removing 54 parking spaces
from the Plaza de Panama with an excessive
re-construction and transformation of the land-
scape and hardscapes. The plan as it stands now
is a means for bringing paid parking and thou-
sands of cars directly into the core of the park.
SOHO’s plan, found on our website shows how
the original goal can be accomplished quickly,
easily, with little impact, and for a fraction of
the cost.
Who would have thought when the occasion
of the 100th anniversary of the 1915 Exposi-
tion was announced, that this National Historic
Landmark with its spectacular Spanish Colonial
architecture and graceful landscape would be
transformed into what can only be described as
an unmemorable suburban ofice park appear-
ance with a freeway-like road running through
it. No thought has been given to what would
allow the park to move graciously, naturally, and
elegantly toward the future. Instead it is being
rushed to completion for 2015, in part because
of that hard timeline it is an immature design
with no feeling for the qualities that make
Balboa Park special and beautiful.
The name the Plaza de Panama Circulation
and Parking Project says it all. No mention of
restoration, beautiication, or becoming pedes-
trian-friendly. San Diegans are being told to not
worry, be happy about a two-lane highway and
bridge attached to the Cabrillo Bridge, cutting
into, through and around the park’s iconic
entrance; the removal of fully grown specimens
of graceful canopied trees between the plaza and
the palisades to be replaced with soldier rows
of palm trees, a three-story paid parking struc-

Discover a New Hobby in La MesaBy Donna Jones
January is the month of reso-
lutions. Lose weight, exercise more,
quit smoking, or i nally clean out the
garage. But most resolutions have a
negative connotation. But why not
start the New Year on a positive note
by taking up a new hobby?

are several businesses that offer all
kinds craft classes. Small class sizes

ably why there is

vibe in the neigh-
borhood. Come to

Our customers ask:
Q. I have a watch I really like and keeps time well, but
it is starting to look old. What can I do to refurbish it?
A. One of the irst things to do is to replace the band. Many times we can get the exact band directly from the watch manu-
facturer. This will give most of your watch a fresh new look. Next take a look at
your crystal. If it is scratched we can also replace that for you. Some watches have
cases that can be buffed and polished. Of course while you are here we will check
your battery to make sure it is fully charged.
BIRTHSTONE OF THE MONTH- JANUARY -GARNET
Garnets are a group of gemstones that are avail-
able in a rainbow of colors, including a color
change variety. The dark red variety, Mozam-
bique garnet is beautiful especially in the check-
erboard cut. Tsavorites from Kenya, are bright
intense green rivaling emeralds. Spessartite gar-
nets range from yellowish orange to reddish orange and are primarily mined in
Brazil and Sri Lanka. The Rhodolite garnet is named for the rhododendron lower and is a beautiful cranberry color. Garnets have a hardness of 7-7.5 which means
they are a gemstone that can be worn easily everyday to enhance your business
and casual wardrobes.

Store on Opening WeekendThe nonprofit’s 17th retail outlet in San Diego County.
By Ken Stone
La Mesa Patch
About 1,000 customers explored
the new Goodwill store in The Village
when it opened the irst weekend in
December—with 750 on Saturday
alone, the nonproit said.
“Several individual customers
purchased over $600 of merchandise
each,” said Sharon Corrigan, the local
Goodwill spokeswoman, citing igures
from sales director Jacky Brown.
“There was a line outside at the
10 a.m. opening, but after noon we
had a pretty steady low of shoppers
with no real issues with the crowd, or
the checkout process.”
She said irst weekend sales
could evoke traditional Thursday-
Sunday openings, and
“are in the neighborhood
of $20,000 for that time
frame. It appears that the
new La Mesa store, for its
location and size, is right
on track.”
Customer feedback
for the county’s 17th Good-
will retail outlet is posi-
tive, Corrigan said. “They
seemed to be very excited
that we are open. There
were some students also that told us
they cut a few classes, but thought it
was worth it to shop at Goodwill.”
The closest donation center—at
the Spring Street trolley station—
opened November 1, and “has been
averaging just under 10 donors a
day, and that number did not signii-
cantly change over the store opening
weekend.” She said donation centers
are usually slow starters, building
after time as more and more people
notice their presence. “We should
have a better idea of how this one
center is doing vs. the other two in La
Mesa in six months or so,” she said.
The newly branded Goodwill
Plaza building occupies the iconic
Clocktower Building at the north-
east corner of Spring Street and La
Mesa Boulevard. Corrigan said Good-
will staff is very happy to be in the
neighborhood, and to “have all the
wonderful shops and restaurants
nearby, and looks forward to devel-
oping strong relationships with the
community in the years to come.”
Volunteers Needed for
Homeless Count This MonthBy Charles Iyoho
We All Count! That is the message from The Regional Task Force on the
Homeless in San Diego County. There are more than 9,000 homeless individ-
uals and families in San Diego County.
The Regional Task Force on the Homeless is a nonproit organization dedi-
cated to collecting data and working to implement solutions to end homeless-
ness in the region. On Friday January 27 through February 3 from 5 a.m. to 8
a.m., the Task Force will be counting folks living on the streets and in shelters.
Jennifer Litwak, projects and development manager for the Task Force,
says ”the goal of the campaign is to provide an accurate count of the county’s
homeless population, to raise awareness of homelessness issues, provide infor-
mation on the needs and demographics of the county’s homeless population,
and provide critical data and solutions for local agencies and the community to
help end homelessness in the San Diego region.
The process is a well-organized, comprehensive effort, which includes
in-depth personal interviews with people living on the streets.
According to Litwak the data collected is used by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development to determine San Diego’s share of federal
funds to implement solutions and prevent homelessness.
The need is great. We have a huge county here in San Diego,” she said.
“We’re looking for volunteers to help” says Litwak.
Previous counts have led to millions of dollars in federal funding which
has been distributed and utilized by local service providers and government
agencies.
The Task Force hopes the efforts will result in more than $16 million in
federal funds to help San Diego’s homeless programs.

Gingham Chef Brings New Flavors
to La Mesa By Genevieve Suzuki
Get your appetites ready La
Mesa, executive chef Brian Malarkey
is ready to make his new restaurant,
Gingham, the place to go for anyone
who wants really good barbecue.
Er, correction – according to
Malarkey, it’s called “slowed smoked
meats with ample sauce.”
“I call it smoked meats because
when you say ‘barbecue,’ everyone
has a preconceived notion,” said
Malarkey, who helped open San
Diego’s Oceanaire and was a inalist
on season 3 of Top Chef. “This is
going to be different
– better.”
Malarkey envi-
sions providing a
very cool picnic feel
for Gingham patrons.
The restaurant, which
opened this month,
sits in the space that
once belonged to Gio’s
Bistro and Wine Bar
on La Mesa Boule-
vard. Gingham is
the latest addition to
Malarkey’s restau-
rants, all named for different fabrics.
His Gaslamp restaurant, Searsucker,
serves up new American classic
cuisine and Del Mar’s Burlap marries
seafood and Asian fare. Malarkey will
also be opening two more restaurants
in 2012: Herringbone in La Jolla and
Gabardine in Point Loma.
For now, Gingham has captured
much of Malarkey’s attention. Last
month he reported traveling east on
the I-8 at least ten times a week in an
effort to get things set for the restau-
rant’s New Year’s Eve kickoff party.
The drive isn’t too much of an
issue for Malarkey, who said he
really likes La Mesa. The Village
reminds Malarkey of his hometown,
Redmond, Ore. “It’s got a little home-
coming feel for me,” he said. “It’s a
little bit more quaint. A small town
group of people.”
Malarkey promises smoked
meats, slow roasted hams, house
brown sausages, homemade jam and
ketchup, and lots of fried chicken.
Nightly offerings come from cate-
gories, such as ‘Not From a Can,’
‘Baked,’ ‘Oil Boil,’ ‘Low and Slow,’
‘Smoked’ and ‘Charbroil.’ Gingham in
the daytime will resemble its sister
spot Searsucker, with open seating,
chalkboard style menu and walk-up
ordering.
“It’s dirty good,” he said. “We
got the best meat cooks in Southern
California.”
Malarkey’s old
mentor from The Ocean-
aire, Mike Mitchell, will
be heading Gingham’s
operations. “He’s a great
leader,” said Malarkey.
Malarkey said he
and his business partner,
James Brennan, came
up with the idea to open
Gingham after being
approached by Gio’s
owner Gabe Giordano to
take over the lease of the
7,000-square-foot space. “He said he
wanted to hand it over to us,” he said.
“The building was so appealing. It is
absolutely adorable.”
Don’t expect to see Gio’s when
you visit. Malarkey and his team
gutted the place to create a space for
Gingham to call its very own. “Gio
had done a $2-1/2 million facelift,”
said Malarkey with a chuckle. “[Gio’s
owner] said, ‘Malarkey! What did you
do to my restaurant?’”
Restaurant guests are greeted
by a lounge featuring unique furni-
ture and a bullet and gun embel-
lished chandelier. The space, which
was once a Ford showroom, also
sports colossal garage doors for walls
and faux animal heads and vintage
paintings.
Malarkey said he understands
it may take some time to whet La

light. He has contributed to several high proi le committees that set policy
for future funding and operational issues for the industry, including federal
support and bandwidth policies.
And, if running a major media outlet were not enough, Tom spends his
fall weekends working for NFL Films, where he is an award-winning cinema-
tographer. He is now in his 34th season, having participated in the i lming of
13 Super Bowls. This is also a family affair with Julie and their sons acting
as camera assistants. Tom is credited with capturing on i lm the famous “holy
roller play”, one of the most viewed football moments in the history of the
game. The sequence of events Tom captured changed the rules of the game in
relation to fumbled plays.
Giving back to La Mesa is a priority. Tom is on the board of Sharp Gross-
mont Hospital Foundation and will be its chairman next year. He also has been
active on the Mt. Helix Park Foundation board.
With children grown, Julie Karlo transitioned from the frenetic duties of
super mom – PTA, Girl Scouts, soccer, little league, gymnastics – to supporting
a multitude of San Diego causes. She has spent the last 18 years as marketing
coordinator at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, and now heads Balboa
Park’s Museum Council. She was a key staff member for two of San Diego’s high
proi le centennial celebrations – The Hotel del Coronado and Mercy Hospital.
Today, she also splits her time between board obligations at St. Madeleine
Sophie’s Center and recently sat on the organizing committee for the March of
Dimes inaugural fundraising gala. And, as Tom’s “i rst lady”, Julie is always
at his side for the many community events they attend representing KPBS.
Always health and i tness conscious, Julie confronted major health challenges
in 1990 with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and, few years later, a diag-
nosis of breast cancer. She beat both these potentially devastating diseases and
when doctors suggested a more relaxing day-to-day schedule, she responded by
power-walking the Rock N Roll Marathon in 2002.
And while the Karlos, along with many La Mesans, appreciate the commu-
nity for its many assets, six-year-old grandson Chase Karlo sums up what
many of our younger residents feel is their favorite part of living in La Mesa:
“I like the sunshine.”
La Mesa ReadsBy Jessie Goodwin, Librarian
Happy New Year from everyone at the San
Diego County Library’s La Mesa Branch! Thank you
La Mesa, for making our library the highest circu-
lating branch in the San Diego County system
in November. Last month, La Mesans read a wide
variety of i ction titles. Once again, a graphic novel
topped our “most read” charts at the La Mesa Branch.
Fables by Bill Willingham, which follows the lives of
fairy tale and folklore characters living side by side
with humans in New York, was a hot title. The Confession by John Grisham
was another popular choice. Grisham continues his examination of the l aws in
our legal system with this tale of a man who resolves to confess to a nine-year-
old crime—but another man is already convicted and awaiting execution for
the murder. Another suspenseful title, I’ll Walk Alone by Mary Higgins Clark
was a favorite selection. The 30th book by Clark is a fast paced thriller about
an interior designer who is wrongly accused of identity theft and implicated in
murder. She’s never met the victim before. Or has she?
Our Winter Reading Challenge for all ages continues until January 15.
Come into the library and check out at least i ve items for a chance to enter
our rafl e. We are giving away great prizes like board games, audio books,
re-useable lunch bags, and ear buds.
Please join us at the library for a performance by an award-winning
singer songwriter. Barbara Nesbitt will perform an acoustic concert on Sunday,
January 21, at 2 pm. This free concert is part of the San Diego County Library’s
Acoustic Showcase series, which brings incredibly talented performers to
library branches throughout the year.
La Mesa library staff members are here to assist you seven days a week.
Please stop in and check out what’s new.
LOCAL BRANCH OF INTERFAITH
SHELTER NETWORK OPENS
Two La Mesa churches will host homeless families
A shelter program for homeless men, women and children that has oper-
ated in East County since 1986, opened January 2, and will operate through
May 12 this year. The Interfaith Shelter Network provides emergency shelter
on a rotating basis among nine church congregations in the East County (110
faith communities county-wide), each hosting for two weeks.
Participating churches will include the First United Methodist Church of
La Mesa and Foothills United Methodist Church, also in La Mesa. First United
Methodist was one of the churches that helped start the ISN in this part of the
county and it continues to be a role model for the program. In fact, the volun-
teer orientation for the 2012 East County ISN was held in the Fireside Room
at FUMC in October. The City of La Mesa provides Community Development
Block Grant funding to help support the East County ISN.
Shelter guests are referred by two local agencies, Volunteers of America
in El Cajon, 619-447-2428 x 30 or 31; and Crisis House, 619-444-1194 x 312.

“It’s going to take a little work. [Mayor Art Madrid] says it’s going to
be busy from day one…I really see this as being La Mesa’s restaurant,” said
Malarkey, who said everything costs less than $20.
“This menu is going to be so bad-ass that people are going to come from all
over to see what’s going on,” he said.
Malarkey said Gingham will likely appeal to a younger set than the usual
La Mesa eatery. He also wants to do trolley tours and offer discounts to patrons
who show their trolley tickets.
Because of Gio’s past struggles with La Mesans over live music, Malarkey
said the City Council “politely” took away the restaurant’s live music permit.
There aren’t any hard feelings, though. Malarkey said the group opposing the
live music approached him to tell him the rescission doesn’t have to be forever.
“They said, ‘Brian, once we trust you, we’ll help you get it back,’” he said.
Even without live music, Malarkey is convinced Gingham’s patio, decked
out with a large ire pit, hanging lights and lush landscaping, will attract a
nice crowd.
“The patio will be the coolest place to hang out in La Mesa,” he vows.
Gingham is open Monday-Friday from 11:30 a.m. to close, and 5 p.m. to
close on Saturday and Sunday.
Helix Scotties, from page 4
Helix led 14-7 and never looked back, going into halftime ahead 28-10
after a Michael Adkins run and a Kendal Keys catch.
Lewis was 11-for-16 passing and accounted for 254 yards and three
touchdowns.
The slightest of sprinkles started at 6:10 p.m.—more than 2 hours after
the game began. Few cared, and only some sideline oficials and cheerleaders
brought out umbrellas or raincoats.
The Highlanders inished the season 13-1, and the Golden Eagles 13-2.
“It was a once in a lifetime experience to be here with my friends,” Del Oro
senior Nick O’Sullivan told his local newspaper. “Helix is a good team. They’re
very physical. They displayed good sportsmanship.”
And at the home of Major League Soccer champion L.A. Galaxy, the Scot-
ties starred on a night of nights.

If you’re like most San Diegan’s, your home is your biggest investment. With energy prices skyrocketing seemingly every day, high utility costs are a concern for most of us. What’s more, San Diego has the dubious honor of having one of the highest utility rates in the country.
One local business, ASI Hastings Heating and Air (The White Gloved Guys) has announced a strategy that will help San Diego homeowners get up to $8,000 in special energy incentives to make energy and comfort improvements to their homes with little or no out-of-pocket expense.
You Can Get Up to $8,000 in energy incentives
“These energy programs are unprecedented,” says owner Ken Justo. “The fi rst program, Energy Upgrade CaliforniaTM was introduced early this year and rewards homeowners with up to a $4000 incentive for making their homes more energy effi cient, comfortable and safe. But to sweeten the pot even more, the city of San Diego is matching funds dollar for dollar for qualifying homeowners with a program called San Diego Home Energy
UpgradeTM (SDHEU).” According to Justo these are two of the richest programs in county history.
Your neighbors are saving an average of 24% on their utilities, you can too
ASI Hastings, a Green Homes America company has already helped more than 125 families make energy and comfort improvements to their homes in 2011. According to a report provided by the city of Chula Vista, the average homeowner involved in their Energy Upgrade Carbon
Downgrade program is saving 24%. “Sure, we’re helping people lower their utility bills but that’s a small part of the story” Justo commented. “People are telling us their homes have never been more comfortable. One family told me that they stopped taking their allergy medication since they’re improvements were completed. It’s truly remarkable; but the best part is that these homeowners are using
energy incentives dollars to make these improvements.” (See video testimonial on YouTube, http://youtu.be/fo6ItDgM6Nk)
Getting started is easy“Getting started is easy,” states Justo. The fi rst step is a 26 point home
comfort and energy assessment; this service is normally $149, but for the
LOCAL BUSINESSMAN HELPSHOMEOWNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY GET UP TO $8,000 FOR HOME ENERGY AND COMFORT IMPROVEMENTS
month of January ASI will be giving the service away for only $49. “It’s common sense really, once people have a clear understanding of how they can make their home more healthy, comfortable and energy-effi cient using other people’s money they have a hard time not getting involved. Essentially the assessment gives homeowners a basic energy, safety and comfort roadmap. “
Guaranteed: your money’s worth or you don’t pay“I am confi dent that homeowners who test out our service will be
delighted. If they don’t feel the home energy and comfort assessment was worth their hard-earned money, they don’t have to pay, it’s that simple,” says Justo.
They make it really easy for you at ASI Hastings Heating and Air. To get your $49 assessment, simply call their offi ce at 1-800-481-COOL (2665) and tell them the best time to come to your home. For your convenience, ASI Hastings schedules evening and weekend appointments at no extra charge. There are a limited number of assessments being allotted these seasoned professionals at this low price. Over the next 20 days that number is limited to
45, so call today.
