Chancellor search panel heading to UCSD BY KATHY DAY kday@lajollalight.com The people assisting in the search for a new UCSD chancellor will gather on campus Oct. 28 for a series of closed meetings to talk about parameters for the search. Marye Ann Fox, who has led the campus since 2004, will step down in June to return to teaching chemistry and research as a distinguished professor. On Oct. 14, University of California President Mark G. Yudof, who will convene the search committee, named 15 people — UCSD
faculty, staff, students and alumni as well as a list of regents and others from around the state — to an advisory to assist with recruiting, screening and interviewing candidates, with the goal of recommending a nominee to UC regents by May.

Browning Scripps BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com Ellen Browning Scripps’ continuing legacy will be in the spotlight on Saturday when The Bishop’s School pays tribute to a musician, a volunteer and a teacher who have carried on her tradition of giving and leadership. The school is just one of many institutions in La Jolla, greater San Diego and other communities that bear her name and continue to benefit from her sense of philanthropy 79 years after her death and 175 years after her birth on Oct. 18, 1836. “This little woman was so far ahead of her time, she was not just a visionary — she made it happen,” said Doug Dawson, executive director of the Ellen Browning Scripps Foundation, the shepherd of her legacy. In assessing the magnitude of Miss Scripps’ influence then — and now — Dawson asked, “Who touched more lives of San Diegans and visitors?” SEE ELLEN, A5

La Jolla researchers continue breast cancer studies BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 230,480 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year. After increasing for more than two decades, female breast cancer incidence rates decreased by about two percent per year from 1999 to 2005. But, given that each year about 39,520 die from breast cancer, clearly more needs to be done. Here are highlights of just a few of the ongoing research efforts in Torrey Pines Mesa toward improved diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment wellness for breast cancer patients.

Thanks go to postal carrier Steve Mediano for beautifying the community with this memorial drought-tolerant garden he created between the parking lot at La Jolla Carrier Annex Post Office at 720 Silver St. and the adjacent La Jolla Veterinary Building. Mediano transformed what used to be an overgrown weed jungle into a gorgeous cactus garden. He traveled all over the region to purchase/pick up donated cacti for the garden plot, which is a memorial to beloved former letter carrier Dave Bolin who died a couple of years ago.

She also offered financial aid to build many La Jolla churches and contributed to La Jolla High School. Scripps also gave generously throughout San Diego, including donations to the Natural History Museum, the San Diego Zoo, and the Zoological Garden and Research Laboratory in Balboa Park. Suburban Scripps Ranch in San Diego derives its name from E.W. Scripps and his half-sister Ellen who built a 2,100-acre ranch there in 1891. Today an elementary school there bears her name. Ahead of her time Miss Ellen, as she is still affectionately known, became wealthy in her own right and was heir to the fortune created by her halfbrother, E.W. Scripps, who founded the Scripps newspaper chain, and her brother George H. Scripps. Ellen Browning Scripps was born in London and came to America with her father, a prominent bookbinder, in 1844. After growing up on an Illinois farm, she invested

patients we have cared for, the scientific discoveries we have developed, the physicians and other clinicians we have trained, and the thousands of people we have employed over the years,” Van Gorder wrote in an e-mail. “We believe Miss Ellen’s legacy is ours to protect and to carry forward … Our job is to meet the health care needs of our community as Miss Ellen wanted us to do with her very generous gift … We continue to do that today and will for many generations to come.”
Following the annual Ellen Browning Scripps birthday luncheon, Historical Society Executive Director John Bolthouse poses with keynote speaker mary Beebe, director of the UCSD Stuart Collection; event chair Sharilyn Gallison; Scripps biographer molly mcClain; and sculptor ruth Hayward who recently presented the Society with a bust of Ellen Browning Scripps. Rudy Vaca photo what savings she had to help her brother James start The Detroit News — the first of the family’s newspaper ventures. She retired and moved to La Jolla in 1896, where, during the last 35 years of her life, she bestowed gifts on the community. She died in 1932 at age 96, but in 2011 her philanthropic legacy still touches more than 50 organizations. Still transforming lives One of her greatest gifts, said Dawson, is that “she gave us the internationally famous Scripps
Healthcare System that almost 90 years later transforms medicine, saves lives and is one of the largest employers in our region.” Chris Van Gorder, president/ CEO of Scripps Health, noted the seed Miss Ellen planted in 1924 when she donated the funds to establish the Scripps Metabolic Clinic (now Scripps Clinic) and Scripps Memorial Hospital on Prospect Street. Today the health system has more than 13,000 employees and 2,600 physicians. “It’s hard to imagine San Diego without Scripps: the millions of
Forward-thinker The teacher-turned-businesswoman is also being celebrated this year at Scripps College, which was established in 1926 with her donation. Lori Bettison-Varga, president of the women’s college of the Claremont Colleges, said Scripps “really was contemporary if you look at all the different things she was involved in, how she changed the world in so many different areas.” Shy but generous Miss Ellen Browning Scripps’ modesty was as renowned as her generosity — though far less acknowledged. “Although the Scripps name became a symbol of great philanthropic efforts undertaken in the community during
the early 20th century, the donations were never made for the sake of impressing others or for self-recognition,” said Carol Olten of La Jolla Historical Society. “Indeed, in many philanthropic efforts Miss Scripps requested to remain anonymous. The attachment of the Scripps name to buildings, institutions and educational facilities often came at the suggestion of the recipient rather than the giver.” A case in point, noted Olten, was the dedication of the Cove park as Ellen Scripps Park in 1927. Olten said during the dedication ceremony, as she celebrated her 91st birthday, Miss Scripps noted her only regret was that her name — which she described as having one little ironical vowel buried in its six barbaric Nordic consonants —“makes a combination unfitted for the name of a thing of joy and beauty.” The keeper of the flame for all things Scripps is Judy Harvey Sahak, director of the Ella Strong Denison Library of Scripps College. “We have 40 file cabinets full, quite a large collection, consulted frequently by researchers and family members about her life,” she said.

successful fundraising campaign, and added to campus life and facilities. Yet the campus faced issues surrounding its diversity, causing some distraction in 2010 that required instituting changes and naming a new vice chancellor for “equity, diversity and inclusion.” The need for diversity is even noted at http://chancellorsearch.ucsd.edu/, which states “the committee and the president should be mindful of the university’s commitment to hiring women and underrepresented minorities.” Steve Montiel, media relations director for the university president’s office, said, “Few things in terms of the future of the campus are more important than the selection of the chancellor.” That’s particularly true in the UC system, he added, where some campuses are larger than the entire university systems of some entire states.
University system officials have retained Isaacson, Miller, a national executive search firm that the system has employed in prior searches, to work on the search, which will involve a number of steps outlined on the chancellor search website. Interested applicants are asked to contact the firm. The five faculty members on the advisory committee working with Yudof, are expected to provide “not fewer than five promising candidates” to the full panel, which will evaluate the nominees and can add more names. They may also interview candidates and can seek opinions from other groups they consider appropriate. Once the committee makes its recommendation to Yudof, he will add his voice and submit a candidate to the Board of Regents for consideration and approval.

Atlantic meets Pacific to debate role of science vs. spirituality By Joe Tash Two prominent thinkers and best-selling authors Tuesday debated whether science or spirituality can best answer the eternal questions facing mankind as part of a forum of ideas held in La Jolla, hosted by UCSD and The Atlantic magazine. Deepak Chopra, best known for his writings about mind-body healing and spirituality, and Leonard Mlodinow, a physicist and writing collaborator with Stephen Hawking, took the stage at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Seaside Forum during a morning session before a packed auditorium. Moderating the conversation was Atlantic editor James Bennet. Other speakers during the three-day event, called The Atlantic Meets The Pacific, included entrepreneur Elon Musk of SpaceX and Tesla, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, and game design pioneer Will Wright. The theme of the inaugural conference was advances in health, technology and en-
ergy. Organizers hope to make the conference an annual event. Chopra and Mlodinow’s session centered on their new book, a series of essays named “War of the Worldviews – Science vs. Spirituality.” In the book, each author gives his perspective on such questions as “how did the universe emerge,” “what is the connection between mind and brain,” and “is God an illusion?” Bennet said that before he read the book, he had expected the two authors to reach common ground on a number of issues. But after his reading, he came to the opposite conclusion. “It really felt like a war. In fact, there is no peace at the end of the book,” Bennet said. Chopra, a physician who founded the Chopra Center for Well-Being in La Jolla in the 1990s, and later moved the center to Carlsbad, credits science with many advancements that have improved the quality of life for humans. Where it falls short, he said, is its lack of
purpose or morality, which has led to such evils as biological warfare and global warming. Mlodinow countered, “Science is knowledge,” and that, “If people want to use the truth that science discovers for evil, that will always be a possibility.” According to the foreward of “War of the Worldviews,” the two writers met at a conference at the California Institute of Technology, on the topic of “the future of God.” After that, they began speaking together at a number of public events, and decided to “have it out” in the book, which was published by Harmony Books earlier this month. Each writer said he believes it takes courage to espouse his worldview; Chopra said he had been criticized over the years for his theories on spirituality and healing, and Mlodinow for delivering “bad news” on such topics as death and free will. Mlodinow said he believes all living things are governed by immutable laws of
give us your best shot
nature and physics, rather than free will, and that he does not believe in a soul or the afterlife. “Nobody really wants to hear that,” he said. “If we don’t have free will, let’s forget about global warming and all be doomed to extinction,” retorted Chopra. While he doesn’t necessarily expect to convert readers to his way of thinking, Mlodinow said he hopes the book will help explain the scientific way of looking at the world. Science can explain such things as sunsets and tides, but for those who seek understanding of love, compassion or evil, “that’s where you should look to spiritual endeavors for your
From left, Leonard Mlodinow, Deepak Chopra and James Bennet. Joe Tash phoTo issues.” Chopra said science devoid spirituality wouldn’t solve the world’s problems, but that, “Science based on
intent that values life can save this planet,” he said. n To view videos of the conference speakers, log on to http://events.theatlantic.

Décor plan could add sparkle to Village holidays By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com A new holiday décor plan is shaping up in the Village that will start with an effort to line the rooftops of buildings in the four-block area along Girard Avenue between Torrey Pines Road and Prospect Street with lights. James Niebling of Esteban Interiors, who on Friday was out walking around asking business owners’ to participate, is leading the holiday décor subcommittee for the La
Jolla Village Merchants Association. On Oct. 12, he presented a “five-year roadmap” that he said he hopes will make La Jolla a “magical” place people talk about and want to visit during the holidays. This year, he said, is about “newness” — the roofline lighting in a small area to start and beginning to replace the shooting stars that have been used for years.

www.lajollalight.com From CanCer, a1 to detect breast cancer in its early stage, when it is often most treatable. However, traditional mammography involves exposure to radiation and produces poor diagnostic accuracy, resulting in a high rate of false positive diagnoses. UCSD bioengineering grad student Carolyn Schutt and her lab mates Michael Benchimol and Mark Hsu are working on a method to use highly-sensitive light imaging and focused light therapies deep inside the body that will help detect and treat breast cancer more effectively. Known as optical fluorescence imaging, the method could one day offer a safer, less expensive, and more accurate visualization of whether a tumor is present (http://bit.ly/i1GPMo). Non-surgical approaches The “sentinel lymph node” is routinely removed and dissected to determine the likelihood that the cancer has spread beyond the breast. However, identifying
LA JOLLA LIGHT - OCTOBER 20, 2011 - Page a9
the correct lymph node to remove is not straightforward. Andrew Goodwin, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Nanoengineering in the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering is studying the use of novel microbubbles with fluorescent outer shells to mark the sentinel lymph node. The approach involves using ultrasound — high-frequency sound waves used in medical imaging applications — to detect the gas-filled microbubbles injected into a tumor. Once the lymph nodes have been imaged, the radiologist will turn up the power of the ultrasound beam in the area surrounding the sentinel lymph node. This will burst the microbubbles and release a non-toxic fluorescent polymer that is designed to stick specifically in the lymph nodes, allowing for a more accurate dissection surgery (http://bit.ly/gzSSsK).
There is growing evidence that some tumors originate from stem cells, which keep proliferating to make more stem cells and give rise to more cancer cells. Robert Oshima, Ph.D., and colleagues at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Institute are looking for drugs that force these cancer stem cells to differentiation. This way, the cells settle down and become a specific cell type that can no longer replicate. This is a very different approach than standard treatments because it doesn’t kill the cells, just forces them to become a dif-
ferent—and benign—cell type (http://bit.ly/ozIYGU). Improving treatments Erkki Ruoslahti, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues at SanfordBurnham are developing peptides that specifically bind cancer cells and the blood vessels that feed them. The peptides do this by following “vascular ZIP codes;” certain cell surface markers that distinguish tumor blood vessels from normal ones. One of these peptides helps co-administered drugs to penetrate deeply into tumor tissue. The peptide has been shown to improve treatment
efficacy against human breast cancer (as well as other cancers) in mice, achieving the same therapeutic effect as a normal dose with one-third as much of the drug. Studying the survivors There are currently 2.6 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Researchers at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center are conducting a multiyear study examining risk factors among survivors; among them the effects of weight loss and exercise on recovery.

Tips for Better Home Showings: 1) Remove clutter and clear off counters. Throw out old newspapers and magazines. Remove out of season clothing that may make your closets seem smaller and cramped and clean out the garage. 2) Wash your windows and screens. 3) Brighten your rooms, put higher wattage bulbs in light fixtures and replace burnt out bulbs. 4) Set the scene. Set your table with your best dishes, crystal, silverware, linens, candles and flowers. Help buyers picture festive entertaining. 5) Accentuate the fireplace. Lay fresh logs in the fireplace or light a gas fireplace when the house is being shown on a cooler day or towards evening. 6) Send your pets to the neighbors or take them for a walk when people are viewing your home. 7) Don’t disregard minor repairs. Small problems such as sticky doors, torn screens, cracked caulking, dripping faucet may seem trivial but they give buyers the impression that the house is not well maintained. 8) Last but not least, if at all possible, leave your house when it is shown. It is awkward for prospective buyers to express their opinions and view your home properly when the seller is there.

Council move may help Cove fireworks effort By James R. Riffel City News Service Clarifications to the municipal code section on granting permits to fireworks shows and other events in city parks got preliminary approval last week from the San Diego City Council. The council voted 5-2 to make the issuing of park-use permits for July 4 fireworks displays at La Jolla Cove, Mission Bay and Ocean Beach routine or, in city parlance, “ministerial.’’ The item will return to the council in the near future for final approval. The action stems from a judge’s ruling that nearly put some Independence Day pyrotechnics displays out of business. Superior Court Judge Linda Quinn sided with environmental lawyer Marco Gonzalez, who contended that the city’s practice of routinely giving out permits to organizers of the shows conflicted with the municipal code, which called for individual scrutiny of park use permits — including
costly environmental reviews. Organizers of the displays said they would go out of business without ministerial permits because they could not afford annual environmental reviews. The city estimates such studies, required for park use permit applicants deemed to be non-ministerial, would cost about $15,000. Robert Howard, a lawyer who represents the La Jolla Fireworks Foundation, said his client has a $30,000 budget and shouldn’t need an environmental review after being in business for 27 years. “We have a show that lasts 23-25 minutes once per year,’’ Howard said. The City Attorney’s Office had recently stated that the code amendments would make Gonzalez’s lawsuit, which the city is appealing, moot. Gonzalez himself told the council he welcomed the changes, but added that the city was going about it in the wrong way and thus might invite further litigation.
La Jollan sings for Chargers
Gonzalez believes debris from airborne explosions over coastal waters harms marine life. The fireworks show discussed the most in the case was the one at La Jolla Cove, which is adjacent to a marine sanctuary. The judge did not base her ruling on environmental factors, but on city officials not following the municipal code. To give the officials a chance to figure out how to implement her order, she stayed her ruling, allowing this year’s shows to go on. Gonzalez said that after organizers had cleaned up, “a plethora of trash’’ was discovered in the water and close to shore. He brought in three bags containing what he said was found, including fuses and unexploded pieces of ordnance. Councilmen David Alvarez and Todd Gloria cast the dissenting votes. Gloria said he hoped the two sides could work out their dispute themselves before the amendments return to the panel.
The amendments codify a summertime moratorium on events at Balboa Park, Mission Bay Park and parks along the shoreline other than named annual events, including: • the Pride Festival; • Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon; • AFC Half-Marathon; • Over-the-Line; • Ocean Beach Street festival, and several smaller events. Organizers of the Earth Fair, the annual environmental festival that attracts about 60,000 attendees each year, told council members they believed their exclusion from the list and changes to their permit proposed by city officials meant their event would not be allowed next year. Parks and Recreation Director Stacey LoMedico told council members that staff only wanted to discuss how to accommodate the growth in Earth Fair’s popularity, and it was their intent to issue a permit for 2012.

The estate of Alice Goldfarb Marquis, a UCSD alumna who penned eight books on art and popular culture, bequeathed $1.1 million for the libraries at the university, officials announced on Oct. 11. alice The gift from the Goldfarb Alice G. Marquis Livmarquis ing Trust is the largest bequest ever to the libraries, and will be used to expand
collections and services, and allow a library study area to be open for 24 hours a day, according to library officials. A portion will be set aside for the existing H. Stuart Hughes UCSD Libraries Endowment for Modern European History. Hughes was Marquis’ adviser when she was working on her doctorate in Modern European History. “Alice Marquis was a stalwart supporter of the UC San Diego Libraries, as this generous bequest clearly
demonstrates,’’ said Brian Schottlaender, The Audrey Geisel University librarian. Pamela Radcliff, chair of the UC San Diego History Department and a historian of modern Spain, added that “this generous gift comes at a critical moment when the library budget has been slashed dramatically. In fields like history, access to physical books and manuscripts remains crucial to our scholarship and teaching.” Marquis died of cancer two years ago at age 79.

light’s answer to height variance needs focus your view By DaviD little La Jolla resident The legal description of the appeal sent to the Planning Commission by The Bishop’s School was for a variance to construct a building 32’-1” high in the coastal zone where the limit is 30 feet. The key word here is variance. The Light’s answer in the Sept. 29
edition discussed measuring methods (on height variances), but if measuring methods were the issue, there would be no need to ask for a variance. The developer would simply create plans using the measurement method he believes is correct and submit them to the city. Similarly your discussion relative to problems with sloped lots is superfluous since the Bishop’s Library lot is flat and again, if it were not, the developer should just use the rules for

in code sections, they cannot apply to Prop. D. So your first answer, “The 30foot height limit pursuant to Prop. D is absolute and no variances or exceptions are allowed,” is correct. Yet a 32foot building is being constructed. The variance inappropriately granted to The Bishop’s School was the first and only one granted in 39 years. Apparently the new guidelines are if you have sufficient wealth and influence, you can get variances — even to the people’s referendums.

Community Leader’s view
By sherri lightner Councilwoman, First District lished every Thursday by San Diego
www.lajollalight.com
It might not seem like it now, but San Diego is facing a water crisis. Currently, we depend too much on water that is shipped to us. That makes us vulnerable to Mother Nature’s whims and the Metropolitan Water District’s price hikes. Our lack of local water sources also has a real impact on our current and future economic growth, limiting businesses’ ability to expand and hindering name San Diego’s chances of attractname ing new companies because of water supply uncertainty. Despite the importance of ensuring a sustainable water supply for San Diego, the City Council lacks a cohesive strategy to tackle the problem. Instead it has a mish-mash of outdated and contradictory policies — some more than two decades old — that fail to take into account emerging water technologies. I have spent the last year developing a Comprehensive Water Policy, which was heard by the council on Oct. 17. I have met with more than 25 different stakeholder groups ranging from the San Diego
Chamber of Commerce to San Diego Coastkeeper and have worked closely with the Mayor’s and City Attorney’s offices. This new policy provides a blueprint for how the City can go forward with a cohesive water strategy that incorporates a wide range of water sources and practices, including: • Conservation • Desalination • Advanced Water Treatment • Purple pipe • Gray water and rain water collection • New technologies • Regional solutions The key point of this Comprehensive Water Policy is the belief that we must use all available tools. There is no ONE solution for a problem this big. But we have to go beyond conservation and look at new and emerging technologies as well to create a viable local water supply. This policy takes a long view of San Diego’s water needs and resources but it is only the first step. Once it is adopted, the real work begins as we determine how to put our policy into action. As an engineer, I know that this is the critical step. We need to develop a plan that sets goals, timelines and measurements of our success. Now is the time for us all to join together and take control of our water destiny.

Sidewalk Liability. We continually hear complaints about the condition of the sidewalks in La Jolla, not only in the commercial center but generally. Cracked concrete and loose bricks never seemed to get fixed. Complaints to the city about problems often produce no solution and conditions are getting worse. The Merchants Association sought help from council member Sherri Lightner’s office to see what could be done. The policy from the city that has been in place since 1975 and is based on the California Streets and Highways Code 5610 was a surprise. The policy essentially places the responsibility for replacement of PCC (precision concrete cement) sidewalk totally on the abutting property owner unless an unsafe condition exists because of some act of the city or some third party, such as allowing parkway trees to damage the sidewalk, permitting poor compaction of soil under a sidewalk, sidewalk damage caused by city utility intrusion, etc. Consequently, PCC sidewalk replacement at city expense is done only under these conditions. The city has made exceptions where the costs can be borne on a 50-50 matching basis under all other conditions; provided, however, that damage to sidewalks that the city manager determines to have been caused by owners of property abutting damaged sidewalks or by third parties shall not be qualified for the 50-50 matching basis funding. Additionally all unsafe sidewalk conditions that come to the attention of the city are patched with asphalt to eliminate tripping hazards and assist in protecting the city from liability. The conclusion to be drawn by property owners and tenants is don’t assume that the cracked or damaged sidewalk are not your problem — they could be your problem and your liability. If your sidewalk needs repair contact the city to determine where responsibility lies and at least get a temporary asphalt fix, which is free. For more information go to www.sandiego.gov/ street-div/sidewalk.shtml. To report a problem sidewalk go to apps.sandiego.gov/streetdiv/.

Teens create candlelight labyrinth at Law Street Beach By Jane Wheeler The La Jolla High School Interact Club and members of Bird Rock Artist Guild created a temporary labyrinth walking path at Law Street Beach at low tide on Saturday, Oct. 15. Community members came to see the ancient spiral design and temporary art experience. At sunset, they lit the path with 300 lumenaria candle bags. Located in the center of the labyrinth
was a no-obligation donation jar for Interact’s Project Mercy, which is raising the funds needed to build a home in Mexico for an impoverished family. Interact is a community service club at La Jolla High School. The club is tied to the La Jolla Rotary and fosters volunteerism, as well as leadership development. Before sunset, Interact members Kaitlin Wheeler and Maddie Bol-
linger drew a 25-foot sand picture of the Apple-logo at the beach as a tribute to the late Apple chief Steve Jobs. People were invited to participate and draw their words of tribute to him in the sand. Some tributes were “You will be missed,” “We all love Steve Jobs,” and “You were a genius Steve.” On the other side of the labyrinth, seniors Kevin Riley, Tom Wheeler and Ryan Mann created a

From Parade, a14 Field, the largest in the world. Students nominated from the public and private local schools for their exceptional service to the community will be honored and will join the parade as Youth Marshals. The parade will be followed by the Holiday Festival at the Rec Center, ending with the lighting of the Christmas Tree sponsored by the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club and GDC Construction. The parade and festival attract thousands of attendees and participants — many who come back every year. The parade is unique in that it is organized and conducted by community volunteers and is fully funded through community sponsorships and donations. Many organizations, businesses and residents have already generously contributed and we ask you to consider a donation. We are extremely grateful to Audrey Geisel and The Seuss Foundation for her generous and early donation that allows us to begin the planning. But we need your help. Last year more than 70 percent of the funding came from local businesses and residents — a tradition we hope to continue. There are many ways to contribute and opportunities for promoting your business through our website and in the Official Parade Program. The website www.ljparade. com will continue to be updated and will include maps of the parade, parking and towing information and everything needed to register and participate can be found there.

Question: Take a look at the traffic signal at the northeast corner of La Jolla Boulevard and Nautilus. There is an unusual white-colored object on top of the post. What is it? Answer: It’s a DAS antenna — which means Distributed Antenna System. It’s an alternative to conventional wireless communication facility antennas that uses many smaller antennas, providing a smaller area of coverage, and which are usually typically unobtrusive.
YouR vieW
Regarding Light article, “Calling for help in La Jolla” Yet another argument for an independent
Merchants Association, especially Kate Brainard, manager of Pharmaca, to attract more shoppers and spenders before and after the parade. Your ideas are welcome and your business is invited to utilize this opportunity. Join the parade by registering by Nov. 15 or volunteer to help and/or consider a donation to support the parade. We are in need of vintage vehicles and convertibles to carry our Marshals and VIPs. Check out our website at www.ljparade.com.

Joseph D’Angelo puts smiles into dentist visit Spend even a few minutes with Dr. Joseph D’Angelo and you’ll understand why the casual moniker “Joe the Dentist” fits so well. D’Angelo, who has been practicing in La Jolla for more than 18 years, has a personality and approach to his practice that even those who fear going to the dentist find comforting. And his knowledge of general dentistry, as well as experience in cosmetic and implant dentistry, assures patients that they’re in good hands. Even better, you can get most all of your treatments, be they for general or family dentistry or implants or cosmetic surgery, in one familyoriented, calming environment — the office at 1111 Torrey Pines Road. He shares the office with his associate, Dr. Jennifer Still, a friendly staff and a colorful array of fish in the waiting room’s aquarium. He said he found his calling as a dentist while working as a dental technician in the Air Force. “I’m a very detail-oriented person,” he added. “I like working with my hands and with people … I love what I do.”

Twenty years ago, he said, he became interested in the aesthetics of dentistry. “I realized there’s more to it than just making Hollywood smiles,” he said. “The goal should be to make things look natural. … That’s the ultimate cosmetic challenge.” With the latest in 3-D diagnostic imaging on site, D’Angelo has the ability to visualize the size and placement of implants, making the process more accurate and safer. “When I do the surgery, it’s like I’ve already been there since I’ve ‘done’ the procedure on the computer,” he said, shifting images around on his computer screen to
show how the technology works. A bonus is that sometimes the 3-D images help him solve “mysteries” associated with toothaches, abscesses or sinus problems. He’s even “tripped over” more serious problems like a clogged carotid artery, he said, noting that when that happens he refers patients to nearby specialists. If you get nervous heading to the dentist, Dr. D’Angelo has options to ease the experience, from TVs over the chairs to sedation options that don’t require an IV.

Do you have to win to win? Editor’s Note: Joey Chang is the head coach for the La Jolla High School girls golf team.
By Joey Chang, Pga As a first year coach for the La Jolla High School Girls Varsity Golf Team, I try to remind myself that learning is an everyday experience. As of Oct. 3 the La Jolla golfers showed their motivation and resilience to remain undefeated in the Western League. Later that same day, the league leader was decided. This would be the first of two matches between Our Lady of Peace and La Jolla High, who were both undefeated. This was one match we had been looking forward to for a long time. The setting seemed ideal. As I exited the freeway on this nice, sunny day, I heard The Black Eyed Peas’ song, “I Gotta Feelin” on the radio; and then, for no particular reason, the main verse began to reverberate through my mind: I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night ... . I entered the golf course and immediately saw the ladies practicing, but, at the same time, I kept thinking about the lyrics to the song. It described this day perfectly. I really felt we had a good chance of beating the defending league champs. As the first player stepped to the tee, I noticed that the air was cool. If you closed your eyes you could feel the wind engulf your entire face, as it passed right through you. It was a nice feeling, and maybe the most calming feeling, especially as I observed how relaxed the ladies were at a match of so much importance. The next couple of hours were left to fate. As the coach, I could do no more.
I chose to work with another student on the course as the competing teams played in the groups before us. As we approached the seventh fairway I could see the first match was about to end. I wanted to see the reaction of the girls as they came off of the ninth green. I almost felt the need to find the right approach in case the loss was inevitable. I knew the ladies worked hard and I knew they really wanted this win. Expectations for a teenager can sometimes be crushing. As we get older, we learn that life has many challenges that have to be tackled. For a teenager, the weight of these challenges almost always feel 10 times heavier. We tend to forget that teenagers also have pressures of life, whether its AP classes, college deadlines, first-year class struggles, and, of course, general overall performance. Some teenagers will be too hard on themselves. I wanted the girls to be proud; I felt each had earned the right to be proud of themselves, individually and collectively. As I watched each group come in, it was hard to tell if they had played well or not. Sometimes you see the droopy eyes with the pitiful clown frown. Instead, I saw smiling faces, good camaraderie, and playful interaction with each other and with the other team. After I saw the first group scores, I knew we were behind. The next group was a virtual tie. It was down to the wire. But you would have never known it just by watching these astounding lady golfers. They were excited. As the final group came in and the total score was tallied, the final score was OLP 200 La Jolla 205. We had lost! Or had we?

In the tournament, Country Day topped Rim of the World, Santa Barbara, Bakersfield, Temecula Valley and Murietta. “It was a great learning experience for the younger players and
will help them get ready for the rest of the very tough league play,” Torrey head coach Peter Ogle said.

From GolF, A18 Then, an amazing thing occurred. The team didn’t look disappointed; in fact, they were elated. I was prepared to give them the “You did your best” speech when I realized it wasn’t necessary. Happiness and joy. It was as if we won. This reaction was highly unexpected, but why? As I looked at the character and the strength of the team, it became clear. They had worked hard, not only to improve themselves, but also to improve as a team. The difference was 5 strokes. The match was neck and neck. We had lost but was it over? As a team, they shot their lowest score of the year. Juliette Garay, senior co-captain, was the medalist shooting an impressive round of 36 and beating out the current scoring leader for the city. The other players showed remarkable improvements, including Jordan Atnip, senior cocaptain shooting her best round this year. Just as impressive were solid performances from Sophomores Marisa Liang, Manci Rasmussen, newcomer Anna Law, and Freshman Daniella Anastasi, as they have shown improvement all year long. The future of the team is even brighter with Junior Maura Kanter, Sophomore Sophia Delgado, and Freshmen Kayla Goldsmid and Kexin Feng, all waiting in the wings to make their team contributions. There were so many positives in this match that, as a coach, I feel you can really
never underestimate the mind and heart of the student athlete. We finished the match as we always do, gathering together for a few thoughts. The only question that I felt appropriate was to ask the girls, “Do you have to win to win?” Enough had been said. They got the point and knew they had won and that I was proud of their performance and the way they had handled themselves. Was this the match of the century? Does it end? Not really, but I do know from here on out this team that has worked hard together will continue to be very successful. It has still been an exceptional year. Our second match with OLP was on Oct.13. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing result. La Jolla lost by four strokes, 214 to 218. Throughout the year, one of the goals was to win against the defending champions. The team has shown a high level of determination in reaching this goal. Although we did not reach this goal, the team continues to shows its strength, still fighting to make CIF. La Jolla has hopes to qualify as an atlarge selection. We will not slow down until the season ends. On behalf of the team, I would like to congratulate Aaron Gonzalez and the OLP team for providing an exciting challenge this year. If La Jolla should make it to CIF, we look forward to a continued challenge.

Richard Warner insists La Jolla is the perfect place for fine-art painters A native San Diegan, Richard Warner discovered La Jolla as a teenage surfer in the 1960s. In 1991 he moved to La Jolla with his wife, Mary Pat, and their two children. His career includes seven years as a high school art Richard Warner teacher and 28 years as principal of Warner Design Associates, a graphic design and marketing firm. Clients included San Diego Zoo, Chevrolet Licensed Products, Road Runner Sports, Griot’s Garage, Victoria Principal Cosmetics, and others. Since 2006, Warner has been pursuing his first love — fine art painting. He belongs to three art groups: La Jolla Art Association, Rancho Santa Fe Art Guild, and the San Diego Portrait Society. He also belongs to St. Brigid’s Catholic Parish, where he serves as Eucharistic minister, is a member of the St. Brigid’s Adult Community, and serves on the church’s communications committee. His wife is executive director of Birthline of San Diego County, a nonprofit pregnancy support charity.
What brought you to La Jolla? Boomer Beach. In high school and college, my family lived in University City and every weekend I’d dash over in my green VW bus to Boomer and body surf with my buddies. Later in life I moved to town with my wife, Mary Pat, and our two kids, Scott and Blair, so that they could attend the excellent La Jolla public schools. What makes this area special to you? The scenery. La Jolla is full of natural beauty and is the perfect place to be an artist. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Patch the potholes and improve parking in the Village. I’d also return the Children’s Pool to its natural state, as it existed before the seawall was built.

Whale of a Tale Flip Nicklin’s book will take you ‘Among Giants’ By steven MihAiLoviCh lthough “Among Giants” is the title of the 192-page book replete with photos and tales of the world’s greatest creatures — whales — it is also an apt label for the book’s author, Charles “Flip” Nicklin, among the world’s giants in nature photography. Currently in his fourth decade as a top whale and dolphin photographer for National Geographic, Nicklin has been touring the country to promote his
A
book since its release in April, and an exhibition of his exceptional photos can be seen at the San Diego Natural History Museum until Dec. 31. While “Among Giants: A Life with Whales” is the 10th book featuring Nicklin’s work, the book is his most personal to date, with reflections on a career that began when his father Chuck opened a diving store in La Jolla in 1959 and rode a whale in 1963 in a photo that captured the country’s imagination. “At first, I was trying to tell about the changing view on whales over time,” said the 63-year-old Nicklin. “Everything from the myth and magic of whales to the biological study. But it became more of a biography and memoir. I wanted to
get this out while my mother and father were still around and tell the bigger part of the family story.” Nicklin’s family story has a life of its own, one that parallels the story of San Diego itself. According to the San Diego History Center, Nicklin’s great-great grandfather was Philip Crosthwaite, a local businessman, civic leader and seafarer who fought in the Battle of San Pasqual in 1846. One of Nicklin’s ancestors was a soldier who accompanied Father Junipero Serra during his excursions into California. “I’m eighth generation (in San Diego),” Nicklin said. “We have a saying in the family — ‘We didn’t come

Eco-adventurer to attend Torrey Pines Beach cleanup Adventurer and environmentalist David de Rothschild will join Surfrider activists for a cleanup at Torrey Pines State Beach from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22. The cleanup is needed following the sewage spill into nearby Los Peñasquitos Creek during the Sept. 8 blackout. Volunteers will meet at the lifeguard tower by the entrance to the north parking lot at Torrey Pines State Beach, along North Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla. Known for his expeditions across the Arctic and the Greenland ice cap,
exploration of Antarctica, and journey into the rainforests of Ecuador, de Rothschild recently returned from an expedition aboard the Plastiki. He completed a treacherous, 11,000 milevoyage across the Pacific from San Francisco to Sydney in the boat made of 12,500 reclaimed bottles. The mission to beat waste is detailed in his new book “Plastiki: Across the Pacific on Plastic an Adventure to Save Our Oceans.” He will give away signed copies to the first 25 volunteers at Saturday’s cleanup.
Revo Sunglasses, one of the Plastiki expedition’s partners, is also supporting the cleanup, with MYOOmarketing. Based in Orange County, Revo makes 70 percent of its sunglass frames David de from recycled or susRothschild tainable materials. For more details, visit theplastiki.com and sandiego.surfrider.org

FROM WHALES, B1 to the U.S. The U.S. came to us.’ ” Some of the family stories, such as Crosthwaite’s observations that the whales that filled San Diego Bay in the 1840s had disappeared by the 1880s, can be found in the book, Nicklin said. Nicklin gave a presentation titled, “The History of Whaling in San Diego,” and signed books at the San Diego History Center on Oct. 4, drawing 100 people. “For a book signing, that was a very highly attended program for us,” said Gabe Selak, public programs manager for the history center. “(Nicklin) is a fascinating person and a dynamic storyteller. He knows how to weave words and emotions so that you feel you’re part of the story. It was a complete immersive experience.” Despite the appeal of Nicklin’s family story, the book focuses on the life of whales and Nicklin’s mesmerizing interactions among them through 18 specific National Geographic projects out of the many in his career, Nicklin said. Nicklin’s work with whales spans the corresponding rise in cultural, scientific and social interest in the ocean’s behemoths. For example, Nicklin said there were only 2,000 humpback whales in existence in 1979, when he had just begun his career. The species has since recovered to about 20,000 today,
LA JOLLA LIGHT - OCTOBER 20, 2011 - Page B3
but Nicklin argues that the biggest test to whales’ survival lies ahead. “Will we appreciate those animals when they’re successful as when they were endangered?” Nicklin said. “The book is not a sermon to make people feel bad. Most of the book is an exciting adventure tale. “But whales are a great way to focus on bigger issues. We don’t have a choice anymore. If you want to have whales around, there are some tough questions to be asked and answered. You can’t save whales without saving krill (a major food source for whales) and everything else. You can’t just save animals that are cute, eat animals that are tasty, and kill animals that are ugly, and expect a functioning system.” What Nicklin won’t say is that his photographs, as well as his recordings of whale songs, had an indelible impact on the effort to save whales and marine life by bringing their beauty to the public’s awareness. That fact is left to the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA), which will recognize Nicklin as its Outstanding Photographer of the Year this March. “Flip is probably the world’s foremost whale photographer,” stated NANPA president Bill Plunkett by e-mail. “His work to help save these majestic creatures is so important that NANPA felt it

We are all in Flip’s debt for making it possible for all of us to enjoy and marvel at the wonders of his subjects.” Although Nicklin acknowledges the difficulty of his work, requiring 100 hours in the water to get four good hours with whales, he views
himself merely as a journalist who accompanied the whale scientists and researchers that deserve the lion’s share of the credit for bringing the whale to prominence. “I was just being their eyes in the water,” Nicklin said. “You’ve got to tell a story. If the photo doesn’t capture everything, you still have to have a story. One researcher said that in the last 25 years, it’s like we discovered a new continent. It’s up to the next generation to explore it. This book is to inspire the next generation.” Nicklin splits his time between Juneau, Alaska, “a very good place for 5’4” redheads,” where he met his wife, and Maui, Hawaii, where he helped found the Whale Trust in 2001 to spur and support ongoing whale and marine life research. Out of the life of whales, the life of his family history and the life of his art, Nicklin created a life of his own. “Now it’s about being a conduit for young people, to be a mentor,” Nicklin said. “But I doubt they’re going to have any more fun that I did ... When you go out (into the field), you know what you’re doing, you have a hypothesis, but it takes years to prove it. That was frustrating. But Jim Darling (Whale Trust co-founder) once said to me, how cool is it to know the world is different than what people think it is, and they don’t know it yet and you do. It’s been a good ride.”
‘Fallen Star’ about to land on UCSD campus
The 18th addition to the Stuart Collection of public art at UCSD, “Fallen Star,” by Korean artist Do Ho Suh, is in the works. It’s a threequarter-size version of a small house in Providence, R.I. to be erected on the seventh-floor roof of the Jacobs School of Engineering Building 1. The house is under construction in Warren Mall, in front of its ultimate destination. Workers aim to lift it into place Nov. 3, with landscaping of the rooftop garden to follow. Once it is finished and furnished, it should be ready for visitors by January. “Fallen Star” is supported by donations to the Stuart Collection and a $90,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. stuartcollection.ucsd.edu

San Diego cuisine with views of the sea, now that’s George’s at the Cove By DANIEL K. LEW here are three elements to any restaurant: The people, the food and the environment,” said George Hauer, owner of George’s at the Cove. But what he and his staff have done is take those elements and elevate them to an unique dining experience by building three different places in one, on three separate floors — California Modern, George’s Bar, and Ocean Terrace — all of which are highlighted by panoramic ocean views. Open for 27 years, George’s at the Cove has gone through many physical and menu changes at its prime location overlooking La Jolla Cove, but what remains constant is Hauer’s goal to create an establishment that reflects San Diego’s people, food and environment. “The food represents what we think is San Diego cuisine,” he said. George’s prides itself on serving a seasonal menu filled with sustainable, local ingredients in both its vegetables and meats. “Our philosophy revolves around using as many local ingredients as possible,” said Hauer who pointed out that his chefs make daily visits to the famous Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe. The restaurant gathers its produce from Chino Farm to such an extent that some of the menu items are named after the highly regarded farm, like Chino Farms Minestrone, a seasonal soup with condiments, or Chino Farms Carrot Salad with Indian-spiced yogurt, crushed almonds, tangerine, cilantro, and

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: George’s at the Cove Smoked Chicken, Broccoli, Black Bean Soup Temecula honey. “We have relationships not only with Chino Farm, but also other producers who are all local,” Hauer said. “Our philosophy is that our products are going to be sustainable — we don’t serve endangered seafood; our chicken, beef and duck products are free from antibiotics and hormones. We are sourcing the best products.” George’s at the Cove is grounded on its first floor by California Modern, an upscale contemporary restaurant headed by nationally recognized chef Trey Foshee. Foshee’s unique twist on fish tacos, a San Diego staple, even caught the attention of The Food Network, which featured George’s “Fish Tacos” on its “The Best Thing I Ever Ate” show. The California Modern menu lists “Fish Tacos” (named with quotation marks) as “Hard to explain, just try it.” George’s reinvents this classic by breaking down a fish taco’s traditional ingredients and serving it “inverted.” Raw, yellowfin tuna
George’s unique “Fish Tacos” gain notoriety on The Food Network. are cut into small discs, acting as the outside layer (instead of a tortilla), and rolled in crushed corn nuts to give it corn flavor and some crunch. The bite-sized, tuna-disc tacos are wrapped around a mixture of diced tuna tartare, jalapeño-mayonnaise aioli and lime juice. They are then rested on beer-battered avocado with a cool creme sauce, cilantro, cabbage, radish, and lime slices. California Modern’s selection of entrees feature Foshee’s contemporary take on popular seafood and meat choices, including Porcini Glazed Bone in Halibut, Pacific Albacore, Smoked Maine Lobster, Jidori Chicken, Niman Ranch Pork Chop, and Niman Ranch 21-Day Dry-Aged Strip Steak. The spacious, indoor dining room includes metallic, dark green, gray and wooden tones to evoke a modern look. Patrons also have a choice of green sofa-like seating with back pillows along the entire length of a wall, or curved, gray retro-modern chairs.
But California Modern’s main feature is its seaside view — four, acrylic-edged windows appear like giant-framed photographs of the ocean. “Still, after 27 years, I find it hypnotic to look at … I pinch myself, to think that we have a beautiful business with this as our viewpoint everyday,” Hauer said. Guests who want a similar but different view of the ocean can go to the second floor, occupied by George’s Bar. This area serves a bistro-style menu and includes indoor or balcony seating with a Pacific breeze. Ocean Terrace, the third floor of George’s at the Cove, is popular with locals and tourists alike, for those seeking a rooftop dining and bar experience. The sense of hovering over La Jolla Cove with grand views of the ocean is best accentuated on this outside level. George’s bistro-style menu is also served here and features George’s Famous Soup with smoked chicken, broccoli and black beans. Other menu items include Marinated
Grilled Fresh Fish Tacos (made the traditional way), Spaghetti with Clams, Niman Ranch Pork Milanese, and Grilled Vegetable Skewer with Tabbouleh Salad. Both George’s Bar and Ocean Terrace also serve lunchtime sandwiches, such as Grilled Niman Ranch Beef Burger, Grilled Eggplant Panini, The Cuban, and Blackened Seasonal Fish Sandwich. With its close relationship with Chino Farm, George’s has a vegetarian menu featuring seasonal items as both entrees and sides. Every level of George’s has its own bar, and the three-in-one establishment employs its own mixologist, who creates seasonal drinks with local ingredients, such as the Berry Blast, a 120-calorie “skinny cocktail,” made with muddled strawberries, blueberries and raspberries combined with Bacardi Rum. The drink menu also features house-infused vodkas and an extensive wine list of more than 300 selections from California and international. California Modern, George’s Bar, and Ocean Terrace each offer a different vibe, and Hauer describes the overall experience as “a very relaxed space with positive energy. The service staff is knowledgeable; the people who work here are experienced servers — they know the products, they know how to pair wines and foods and guide you through the dining experience. At the same time, they try to have fun; it’s not a stuffy environment — there’s a lot of personality that goes into it.”

You just can’t get good help these days
Let Inga tell you ... Only in the La Jolla could one get away with a column whining about the help. Earlier this year, our wonderful gardener guy became ill and temporarily (he hoped) bequeathed his customers to a 20-something relative who was perennially undecided about careers and overdue for a job. Raised in La Jolla and a graduate of La Jolla High, “Bentley” mentioned when I first met him, that he’d grown up with affluence
and that despite his relative’s hope that he would ultimately take over this successful landscape maintenance business, he planned to do something different. That’s the best news I’ve heard in years. Bentley, alas, had a worldclass inattention to detail. His style was to turn up his iPod and kind of get into the Zen of gardening. Unfortunately, whatever garden he was servicing didn’t appear to be in our galaxy. He was, for example, a holy terror with a leaf blower. I’d be puzzled as to why my kitchen was full of leaves and dirt. With his iPod turned up full blast, Bentley failed to notice that he was blowing all the detritus from the patio through my kitchen window. One has to
admire the technical skill that got so much lift in those leaves that he could get them up and over a 4-foot-high pass-through. The stuff that failed to achieve altitude settled like Mount St. Helens’ ash on the plants. “Sorry,” said Bentley, when I went out and used sign language to get his attention over the iPod. “I have ADHD.” Which might (but probably doesn’t) explain why this happened 10 more times. And why some 14 decorator flowerpots were slain on his watch. I learned to keep the house closed up tight when Bentley was around, no matter how hot it was, after I found water cascading through my office window onto my hardwood floors. Bentley
was zapping the white fly on the hibiscus with the hose but didn’t notice the open window next to it. I suggested that his ADHD might be at least ameliorated by the removal of the iPod headphones. But the next week the headphones would be back on again. He forgot, he’d say, reminding me he has ADHD. On several occasions I returned home and concluded that he’d severed a digit with his trimming tool and fled the scene to the nearest emergency room. It was the only explanation for the fact that only half the lawn was mowed, his tools had been left all over the front yard, and the gates weren’t locked. But there was no sign of blood. I gave Bentley a list of
‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ is Broadway bound Stratford Shakespeare Festival announced that its production of the rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar,” directed by Des McAnuff (La Jolla Playhouse director emeritus and now artistic director of the SSF), will move to Broadway following its performances Nov. 18–Dec. 31 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre on UCSD campus.
With lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the blockbuster will open at Neil Simon Theatre in New York City on March 22. The musical tells the story of the last week of Christ’s life. The zeal with which Christ’s followers are hailing him as the Son of God becomes a source of dismay to
his disciple Judas Iscariot. Fearing that this tide of religious fervor will provoke brutal repression by the occupying Romans, Judas must make his fateful choice between faith and betrayal.

what needed to be done every week so he wouldn’t have to remember. He had to check off the items and put the list in my mailbox. Usually the list was checked off in my mailbox, most of the items undone. “I was like totally meaning to do them,” he’d say apologetically later. “I just forgot. I have — ” “ADHD,” I said. “I know. But the whole idea is to not check them off until you do them. The list is supposed to help you. I really do want you to succeed.” Two hours of gardening generally stretched into a whole day as Bentley would leave ostensibly to get gas for his lawn mower and not return for three hours. Or at all. It was only out of loyalty to his wonderful relative
that I persisted. It was quickly becoming apparent that a successful gardening business had probably dwindled to five customers, especially after Bentley lost the entire customer key ring, including some $75 security gate keys. Ironically it was Bentley who threw in the towel. This just wasn’t a job that interested him, he said, returning my (replacement) keys. But he’d had a lot of time to think about what he really wanted to do during his long dreary months in the landscape maintenance biz. He’s going into the medical field. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light. Reach her by e-mail at atinga47@san.rr.com

From 10 Questions, B1 Who or what inspires you? People and places. I love painting people in natural settings. I always carry my camera with me to capture a unique view or an interesting person so that I can paint the image later in my studio. I’ve done a number of portraits of people that I don’t know and may never see again. But I do have that moment of time frozen for me. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Jesus Christ, Michelangelo, my deceased father and mother, my wife Mary Pat, my
son Scott, his wife Gianna, and my daughter Blair. Boy, picking just eight is tough! And I didn’t include my granddaughter or myself yet. What are your five favorite movies? “Blues Brothers,” “Life is Beautiful,” “Midnight in Paris,” “Goldfinger” and “Toy Story.” What do you do for fun? Paint, cook, drink wine, and go to the beach. Is there anything else? What is your most-prized possession? My home. It’s a Spanish style home
with a central courtyard. Dinners out there are magical, especially when family is in town.

Grub Sprawl draws hundreds to La Jolla dining deals By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt On the evening of Oct. 10, the streets of La Jolla were swarming with foodies drawn by the promise of a meal steal: $5 dishes from 10 tasty places in town. Grub Sprawl, a great idea with a tacky name, was masterminded by Alternative Strategies, a marketing company that aims to make San Diegans more aware of the restaurant scenes in different communities by sponsoring major-league tastings at minor-league prices. They started with a pub crawl that morphed into a grub sprawl in North Park. Coronado and Hillcrest followed, and this month, it was La Jolla’s turn. To be part of the event, all you had to do was pick up a wristband, map, and menu at Finch’s Wine Bar & Bistro on Girard or La Valencia’s Mediterranean Room on Prospect. After that, the only problem was deciding where to start and how many $5 dishes you could scarf down between 6 and 10 p.m. Participating restaurants included The Cottage, Zenbu Sushi, Chedi Thai, Jose’s Courtroom, Vigilucci’s, Karl Strauss, La Jolla Brew House, and Prospect Bar & Grill, and food choices ranged from salmon poke to Thai pork chops, from street ta-

Bottom Line: Food Sprawl was a fun adventure, but when my husband and I totaled things up, our “meal steals” at four places — all we could handle — came to more than $60, including drinks, tips and taxes.

Mingei brings Craft Revolution to Pacific Standard Time Dave Hampton is a passionate collector and longtime documenter of San Diego’s visual arts community, whose latest publication, “San Diego’s Craft Revolution,” was released to coincide with the exhibit. He is especially interested in members of a group called the Allied Craftsmen, still in existence, but notably prominent from the late 1940s to late ’70s because of its relationship with the San Diego Museum of Art, then known as the Fine Arts Gallery. At a preview of the show, Hampton talked about how postwar modernists in San Diego were an “esthetic minority” in the days when abstract art was more often loathed than admired. So craftspeople banded together to encourage each other and help San Diegans understand the new forms of art. Every piece in the show has a story behind it. Among the earlier works are experimental photographs and a
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt The art event of the year is “Pacific Standard Time,” a grand collaboration of museums and galleries around Southern California that celebrates four fertile decades (1945-1980) of California art. Spearheaded by L.A.’s Getty Foundation, PST includes major exhibitions by two San Diego museums — the Museum of Contemporary Art’s “Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface” and the Mingei’s “San Diego’s Craft Revolution: From Post-War Modern to California Design,” which opened Oct.16. From Bauhas-influenced midcentury modernism to a more playful approach to the making of furniture, ceramics and “body ornaments” in the 1960s and ’70s, the Mingei’s crafty exposé of local talent features some 250 pieces by 69 San Diegans who were part of the emerging art scene around the world. “Craft Revolution” curator
short color film that looks like a precursor of 1960s light shows by Lynn Fayman, three-time president of La Jolla Museum of Art and husband of local arts patron Danah Fayman. There are well-turned wooden bowls and an elegant lamp by craftspeople in the Lemurian Fellowship, a community of folks based in Ramona since 1941 who believe in received wisdom from the lost continents of Mu and Atlantis. The exhibit shows practical stoneware giving way to abstract ceramics in the 1950s, when form was more valued than function. And then came the ’60s, when anything was possible. n Fast Fact: Douglas Deeds’ circa-1960 beer-can chairs preceded Andy Warhol’s pop-art soup cans by about two years. n Not-So-Fast Fact: In 1967, WindanSea surfer and boardshaper Carl Eckstrom joined forces with Svetozar “Toza” Radakovich, an established sculptor/jeweler from Yugoslavia,
in a confluence of SoCal and European sensibilities that produced a sleek set of polyurethane/fiberglass doors. These Double Doors, newly buffed for the exhibit by Eckstrom, are on loan from the Bay Area home they have adorned for more than 40 years. “Intergenerational, intercultural collaboration was characteristic of the Allied Craftsmen community,” Hampton said. “And this show is really a story that leads to the Mingei. It starts with founder Martha Longenecker and other studio artists of her generation going off to interact with artists from other countries. That exchange of cultural influences is what led to the opening of the Mingei.” n The event, “Early Evening at the Mingei,” with cocktails, jazz and midcentury crafts, runs 6-9 p.m. Friday, Oct 21. The exhibit remains to April 15. For information, call (619) 239-0003 or visit mingei.org

Viva la Rome! for next Las Patronas Jewel Ball — Passeggiata! By SuSan DeMaggio he ladies of Las Patronas will celebrate Rome and la dolce vita at the 66th annual Jewel Ball, christened “Passeggiata!” by Chair Elaine Murphy and her committee. The fundraising spectacular, set for Aug. 4, 2012, at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, will translate into an evening stroll that begins in the piazzas of an Italian town. “Couples will head out, strolling arm in arm, greeting others along the way, for a stylish evening with friends.” Murphy said the Roman-inspired theme is a nod to the sophisticated styles of the late 1950s and early '60s as portrayed in films like “Roman Holiday.” “The décor will have an elegant mid-century Italian style, set against a backdrop that resembles the famous ruins of Rome,” she said. Las Patronas kicked off its 2011-12 year at a luncheon Oct. 12 at La Jolla Country Club, where in addition to revealing the new ball theme, eight new members were welcomed by active and advisory members. The new members, invited to a six-year term, are Lisette Farrell, Michelle Kearney, Michelle Lanuti, Alison Lee, Corinne Lynch, Sherry Macelli, Kathryn Munoz and Leigh Plesniak. Another highlight of the luncheon was the announcement by 2011 Jewel Ball Chair Sue Wagener that proceeds from the Sapphire Ball exceeded $600,000. This money will fund major grants to: The Arc of San Diego to purchase a passenger van with a wheelchair lift; the Family Health Centers of San Diego, Inc. to fund dental operatory treatment chairs for the Logan Heights Family Health Center; Friends of The Riford Center to renovate classrooms; La Jolla Playhouse to retrofit lighting

Artist strives for emotional responses from viewers By Will BoWen “I like cats and I like to scratch my paintings like a cat,” says Armenian-American artist Peggy Hinaekian of her abstract landscapes. Her red and yellow desertscapes and sea-blue reveries, as well as her smaller monotypes (made by pressing paper on to a paint filled acrylic board), are characterized by bold colors, strange geometries, open space, and cat-like scratches – she calls “lines of trajectory”— that wiggle through her paintings and guide the eye. Hinaekian is a mid-career artist. She said she’s been at it for a long time, starting as a young girl in an English school in Cairo. “I liked to do drawings of couples, you know, romance and the Adam-and-Eve theme,” she said. “I drew human figures two-dimensionally, like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic drawings and script carved in stone.” Hinaekian’s Armenian grandparents immigrated to Cairo to escape genocide by the Turks who invaded Armenia. In Cairo, her mother

worked as an interior decorator and side-lighted with the British Secret Service, and her father worked for the U.S. Army at Suez. Hinaekian said grew up ravished for American popular culture. She was an avid reader of comic books, such as Little Lulu, Mickey Mouse, and Dick Tracy, and her family saw American movies 2-3 times a week. Her dream was to come to the United States and become an American movie star “like Debbie Reynolds.”
Shah of Iran, the Queen of Norway, and the Nestle and Dupont corporations. Hinaekian has re-married and divides her time between studios in Florida and La Jolla. “I find inspiration in the colors and shapes I see every day on my walks,” she said. “I can not wait to come home and put my insights to the canvas. I think about painting 24 hours a day. I am continually striving to be better and continually re-inventing myself when I paint.
“My goal as an artist is to tell a story and to induce an emotional feeling in the viewer. I want the looker to wander into my paintings and find something.” “I love La Jolla. I feel great here, like I am on vacation all the time. The Cove is a very special place. I like the way the light works there and how it effects how you see. It is one of the most beautiful places in the whole world, on par with the coast of Tuscany, where everything is beautiful, and
the upper Nile in Egypt, near Luxor and Aswan — the great Egyptian sites.” Reflecting on her long career, she philosophized, “It is better to regret what you have done than regret what you have not done.”

But at the time, she said, there were very few ways to get out of Egypt. One way was to get married and come to the states on a student visa, which she did. She and her husband ended up in Canada, where it was easier to establish oneself. Later she moved to Boston, and then New York, to work as a fashion designer. After a divorce, Hinaekian moved to Switzerland and established a productive art career. Her collectors included the wife of the former

Author’s thriller novels lead to USO tour to visit the troops
andy Peterson is the author of ‘First to Kill’ and ‘Forced to Kill.’ There will be both one-onone discussions and loose gatherings of soldiers.” For security reasons, the destinations will not be made public, and the authors will visit only controlled environments and will not mix with the general public. The Operation Thriller tour was the brainchild of retired Marine Col. Andy Harp, who checked to see if the USO would be interested in hosting some authors. The USO liked his idea, and Operation Thriller One took place in 2010. This year, the In-
ternational Thriller Writers group chose Peterson to be the 2011 chairman of Operation Thriller Two. “Basically it’s a USO event and ITW selects the authors to tour,” Peterson said. “I’m coordinating all the logistics and making sure that my fellow authors have all the information they need.” Peterson said he never served in the military, but has had a lifelong interest in firearms and has excelled as a marksman since age 6. He has won numerous competitions and now holds the

classification of Master in the NRA’s High Power Rifle ranking system. Peterson said his knowledge of firearms is essential to his writing because lead character, Nathan McBride, is a trained Marine Corp scout sniper and CIA operations officer. Because Peterson doesn’t have a military or espionage background, he does extensive technical research to add authenticity to his characters and plot action. But too much technical research does not always make for a better
book, he said. “If I do 100 percent research, I just put 10 percent of it into the book because I don’t want to bog the story down with minutiae. I find most readers are much more interested in character than facts and technical stuff, and if you can create a character who engages them, then they’re hooked,” he said. Born and raised in San Diego, Peterson attended La Jolla High School. He later majored in mathematics at the University of Oklahoma before switching to architecture and earning a Bachelor of Science degree. He worked briefly in architecture before becoming a real estate developer. He began pursuing writing seriously more than 20 years ago. “I wrote a horror novel and it was absolutely dreadful,” Peterson said. Several more horror novels later, he said he realized that horror writing wasn’t his passion, but thriller writing was. After that epiphany, he began taking classes and attending writers’ conferences, which

he said he found tremendously helpful. “I learned all of the things I was doing wrong,” Peterson said. “I think it helps to do your homework.” Peterson added that he received five publisher’s rejections for “First to Kill,” his premiere Nathan McBride thriller, before receiving a positive response from Leisure Fiction, an imprint of Dorchester Publishing. “First to Kill,” debuted in 2008. Peterson recently sold the film rights to two Hollywood producers. His second McBride thriller, “Forced to Kill,” was first launched as an audio book from Audible.com. It will be available in both print and e-book form in November. Peterson is now writing the third McBride thriller, which he hopes to complete next spring. He plans to eventually write 10 thrillers in the McBride series. Peterson and his wife, Carla, reside in Monterey County.

By Marti Gacioch Former La Jollan Andy Peterson, now best-selling author of the thrillers “First to Kill” and “Forced to Kill,” will join four other suspense writers for Operation Thriller, a weeklong USO tour, to visit troops in the Middle East this fall. Peterson, along with Clive Cussler, Sandra Brown, Kathy Reichs and Mark Bowden, will discuss books, movies, and writing; sign autographs and pose for photos with service personnel. “We’ll probably spend five or six nights in various locations,” Peterson said. “There are a lot of USO centers at military installations, so we’ll get up early, have breakfast and meet the commander and the troops, then we might get on a Black Hawk helicopter and go to the next operating base.” Peterson stressed that this tour is about visiting the troops and not promoting books for the authors. “We’re really there for them,” he said. “This is more about our going over there and ‘tell me about your day,’ kind of thing.

Cygnet Theatre stages ‘The Glass Menagerie’ By Diana Saenger Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie,” now at Cygnet Theatre through Nov.13, premiered in Chicago in 1944 and has remained viable ever since. Amanda Sitton, a Cygnet Theatre resident artist who appears in the drama, has an idea why. “Williams has this style of writing that transcends prose and poetry,” said Sitton who takes on the role of daughter Laura Wingfield. “He writes very human characters who speak in sort of an elevated way. What they are speaking about is so universal that it becomes timeless because of the themes and the language that is so beautiful – yet there’s a trap in it because it’s so beautiful. It’s like Shakespeare; you can get stuck in the language ...” In “The Glass Menagerie,” Tom Wingfield wants to make life better for his moth-

Tom is also a narrator who steps in and out of the “fourth wall,” as both storyteller and actor in a role. “I think it’s a cutting-edge effect and cool for the audience,” said Sitton. “But at the same time, you don’t
necessarily trust the narrators or storytellers because everything is from a personal perspective for each character, so it’s an interesting ride for the audience, like whose story am I really seeing?” Sitton said she’s excited to be cast in “The Glass Menagerie,” as it was on her list as, “one of those I hope to have a part in someday.” She started acting lessons age 13 with San Diego’s D. J. Sullivan, and has since appeared in countless productions across the country, including “Doubt,” “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Man From Nebraska,” “Las Meninas,” “Golden Boy,” “Three Sisters,” “Crimes Of The Heart,” and “Four Dogs and a Bone,” to name a few. “Laura is shy and describes herself as crippled,” said Sitton of her character, who wears a legbrace. “I don’t know how much selfawareness she has, and I don’t think she ruminates
about her disabilities or her shyness. She lives in a world of her own creation where she is completely comfortable. I think she’s a happy,
centered person.” Sitton said she has directed productions, which gives her greater insight as an actor. “Besides knowing how
to take notes now, I understand the role each actor plays in terms of the story you’re telling,” she said. “So for me, it’s how do I fit into the story instead of how does the story fit around me.” The cast, under the direction of Sean Murray, includes resident artists Rosina Reynolds (“Noises Off,” “Copenhagen,” “The Little Foxes”) as Amanda Wingfield; Francis Gercke (“Our Town,” “The Tragedy of the Commons,” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”) as Tom Wingfield, and Brian Mackey (“The History Boys,” “Storytelling on the Green”) as the Gentleman Caller, Jim O’Connor. “This is a touching story about how much a family loves one another,” Sitton said. “I think audiences will understand the connection between mother and son, brother and sister. The show has an undercurrent that asks, ‘What do you do for your family?’ ”
How will you be celebrating National Pizza Month? Pizza dough Let’s get the dough on the road with this scratch crust.
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman Among the month of October’s claims to fame, is National Pizza Month. Here’s the deep dish on America’s favorite slice of life, a beloved industry that has swelled to $30 billion a year. ■ Some pizza history When archaeologists excavated the “frozen” city of Pompeii, they discovered shops that resembled modern pizzerias. The ancient Roman pies were naked flat breads — sans the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese — as the former were considered poisonous, and the latter had not yet made a pit stop in Napoli. By this time, the pioneer pizzas sold throughout Naples by street vendors had become a popular peasant food since they were cheap, tasty and satisfying. Famed baker Raffaele Esposito had a solid claim as any to the creation of the modern pizza pie.
■ Ingredients: 2 packages active dry yeast pinch of white sugar 1 1/4 cups warm water 1/4 cup olive oil 3 1/2 cups unbleached flour 1 teaspoon sea salt cornmeal ■ Method: Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in 1/2 cup of the water, and set aside until it foams. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of water, olive oil and yeast mixture. Mix the flour and salt and stir in one cup at a time until the dough forms a ball. Spoon onto a floured board and knead until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover. Set aside in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down. Knead on a floured board. You can make 1 large or 2 medium pizzas. Roll out into a thin circle. Grease a round, vented baking pan and dust with cornmeal. Place the dough on top, spread marinara sauce evenly, sprinkle a blanket of mozzarella cheese, and toppings of your choice. Bake at 450º F for about 10 minutes or until bubbly. In 1889, when King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy toured their Italian kingdom, Esposito baked a special pizza in honor of her majesty, topping it with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil to represent the colors of the Italian flag — red, white and green. This patriotic pie, the Pizza Margherita, named for the beloved
Queen, is still a much-enjoyed tradition. Pizza’s popularity caught on like hot cakes when American soldiers stationed in the Italian territories during World War II returned home and spread the word about this delicioso dish. Pizza quickly emerged from the little Italian neighborhoods into mainstream city cuisine.
■ Pizza as we know it today The average North American eats 23 pounds of pizza per year, taking second spot only to hamburgers as this country’s favorite food. Pepperoni is requested on roughly 36 percent of all pizza orders, but you can dress it up and take it out to your druthers. Pizza Romana in Naples is topped with
tomato, mozzarella, anchovies, oregano and oil. When in Rome, I had pizza capricciosa with a motherload of mushrooms, artichokes, olives and hard-boiled egg slices in the bulls-eye. New York-style pizza is a handtossed thin crust, light on the sauce, sold in humungous slices that New Yorkers deftly fold in half on the vertical bias when chowing down. The Chicago-style is a deep-dish pie that starts with cheese and ends with sauce. Aussies and western Americans prefer Hawaiian pizzas with Canadian bacon and pineapple. I’ve recently seen a pizza dressed with roast chicken Caesar salad, while other kitschy toppings include oysters, dandelions, Cajun shrimp, venison, duck, tuna, mixed salted nuts, PB and J, and bacon and eggs. Women favor veggies, while men choose carnivorous toppings. Some pizza fans prefer a white pizza that swaps out the red sauce for a creamy Alfredo. Today’s crusts do the gamut from traditional white flour to whole wheat, spelt, herb or glutenfree. Any way you slice it, 3 billion pies are sold a year which translates to 350 slices of pizza each second. — For an express dough recipe e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit FreeRangeClub.com

CAUGHT ON CAMERA Community Contest
‘The Detail,’ by Michael Mitchell raised $900 at the MOPA auction/benefit in Balboa Park.
Student’s photo draws hefty sum at Museum of Photographic Arts auction By SuSan DeMaggio Student photographer Michael Mitchell, 15, a sophomore at La Jolla High School, was invited to submit a photo to the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) photo auction fundraiser on Oct. 5 — and no one was more surprised than he when the photo drew $900 after spirited bidding by three guests. “I’m happy about that,” Michael said. “I was nervous, afraid no one would buy it, and my mom was prepared to start bidding.” He said the man who bought the photo told him it would be a wonderful addition to his vast collection. Only three students were asked to participate in the auction that featured the work of professional photographers. Michael’s photo, titled “The Detail,” was previously selected for the 2009 youth exhibition, “Through the Lens: Selections from MOPA’s Education Programs.” It was also chosen as one of the promotional images used to publicize the exhibit. Michael entered another photo in the fifth annual youth exhibition, “Reflections: Exploring Cultural Identity in 2010.” MOPA camps and classes at Nelson Photo launched his interest in photography. He shoots with a Canon 7D. He said he has lots of
HAPPY BARKOWEEN
Michael Mitchell poses at the Museum of Photographic arts near his work at left, center. Courtesy other hobbies, though photography is one of his favorites — especially when he can shoot sports and night images. “It’s a great feeling when you get that perfect picture,” he said. “It’s very rewarding … a shot can be technically correct, but it also must have things you can’t put boundaries on, like artistic thought.” Michael said he also loves to DJ, is on the cross-country team, is a Latin student, and a competitive downhill
mountain bike racer. He takes art classes at The Art Academy of San Diego, and has studied classical piano since the second grade. “I don’t know what I’ll study in college or what I want to be, as yet,” he said, “but I know I’ll keep taking pictures.” Michael’s advice to photo novices is look to the Internet where questions about equipment and technique can be explored at sites like www.digitalphotography-school.com

his is a rare opportunity to purchase two seaside cottages in the Village. Located west of Prospect Street at the corner of La Jolla Boulevard and Scripps Lane, both homes look out to the ocean and are less than
one block to the locally renowned Hospital Beach surf break and a short walk to the world-famous La Jolla Cove. Each cottage has wood flooring, a fireplace, abundant charm and patios. There is one parking garage
for each home. Built in the 1920s, these homes are reflective of a time of quiet simplicity when La Jolla was a "magic land" called a sunset land of bright solace and simple, anonymous living alongside hillsides and serene blue seas.
