School foundations filling the gaps

By Marsha sutton As state funding cuts for education continue to deepen and local school officials are talking about the possibility of insolvency, schools are relying more heavily on nonprofit foundations to help close the funding gap. La Jolla’s five public schools each have their own 501(c)(3) foundations that raise money to support
everything from facilities and capital improvement projects to instructional materials and staffing. This year, the combined amount of money sought by all five local foundations, which represent nearly 4,400 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, is about $1.65 million. “It’s become much more difficult to stretch the dollar,” said La Jolla
High School principal Dana Shelburne. “The foundation has been there consistently to fill the ever-increasing financial void that we’re all
experiencing.” The recent focus on the right to a free public education, which prohibits charging for classroom supplies, athletics and most other extra-curricular activities, has made it even more challenging, he said. “It’s an ongoing struggle,” Shelburne said. “I’ve taken the bone and

By dave schwaB daves@lajollalight.com La Jolla High is going nostalgic with this year’s homecoming theme: “Ninety Years on Nautilus.” Some old letterman’s jackets and faded cheerleader uniforms might come out of the closet, and some well-known faces may come out of the woodwork. But count on lots of memories being recounted and lots of friends reconnecting as alumni return to the campus that counts among its grads well-known business leaders, video game pioneers, a Bronze Star recipient, and famous actors, athletes, musicians and authors. Homecoming is the first of the yearlong celebration that will include the spring gala, a “Day of the Arts” and the annual golf classic.

Kudos to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association
LA JOLLA
LIGHT
An extra large pat on the back goes to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s James Niebling and Esteban Lopez of Esteban Interiors and Egon Kafka of the La Jolla Village Lodge. With funds from the business improvement district, the trio is spearheading lighting up the Village for the holidays. The new rooftop lighting seen here along Girard Avenue, is being paid for by the LJVMA. Combined with the wrapped palm trees, which merchants are contributing, the Village is beginning to show some sparkle. The effort is the first step in a five-year plan to brighten the Village and attract shoppers. Anyone interested in getting in on the effort should contact LJVMA Executive Director Rosemary Murrieta at rmurrieta@lajollabythesea.com or (858) 829-3248. PHOTO ANDREW PFEIFFER

Light staff wins Press Club awards
Veteran’s Day ceremony to salute Zamperini By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com This year’s honored veteran at mt. Soledad veterans memorial Association’s annual veterans Week Ceremony on Nov. 5 truly sacrificed for his country. “Capt. Louis Zamperini was an extraordinary World War II hero whose plane was shot down and lived in a life raft for 47 days before being captured and tortured daily by the Japanese,” said bob Phillips, an honorary trustee of the memorial association. An Army Air Forces bombardier, Zamperini was an Olympian who ran the 5,000-meter race at the 1936 Olympics and grew up in Torrance before becoming a decorated war veteran. His family will be presented with a plaque at the ceremony, which runs from noon to 1:15 p.m. at the mountaintop memorial at 6905 La Jolla Scenic Drive South. His name will be added to the more than 3,000 black granite plaques that include tributes to medal of Honor recipients, U.S. presidents, admirals, generals, Hollywood stars and others who served the country. Zamperini, a USC graduate, is the subject of the best-selling biography “Unbroken” by author Laura Hillenbrand, who also wrote “Seabiscuit.” He epitomizes this year’s event theme, “If You Love Freedom, Thank A veteran and the Active military,” Phillips said. As is tradition, the annual event will feature a T-34 aircraft flyover, a Navy brass Quintet band performance. brig. Gen. Daniel Yoo, Commanding General of the marine Corps recruit Depot, will give the keynote address.
There will also be presentations by military commanders and local legislators, among them First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner and Congressman brian bilbray. The mt. Soledad veterans Week ceremony typically draws 800-plus veterans, state and national officials, medal of Honor recipients and the general public. Phillips said plans are progressing to provide electrical power for lighting the walkways and flags at the memorial as well as operating a plaque locator there. For more information, visit www.soledadmemorial.com. Another event honoring veterans The UCSD veterans Association’s 10th annual veterans recognition Ceremony, where veterans and active duty military personnel will be honored, is ste from 11:30 p.m. Nov. 10 at the moores Cancer Center, Goldberg Auditorium (room 2110). The pulic is invited to the event that acknowledges the dedication and contributions of veteran students.
The La Jolla Light came home with three first-place awards as well as a number of other kudos in the non-daily newspaper division in the recent San Diego Press Club competition. The paper’s campaign to get potholes around La Jolla, “Fix our potholes — Now,” captured top honors in the Public Service/Consumer Advocacy category for editor Kathy Day and reporter Dave Schwab. Publisher Phyllis Pfeiffer said, “While it is terrific to receive critical acclaim, I’m probably most proud of our public service recognition in covering the mundane issue of potholes. The subject might not rank in importance with the likes of the international economic situation or the Arab Spring, but on a day-in-and-out basis, it is probably one of the biggest annoyances in living in La Jolla.” “And I’m tired of replacing tires,” she added. Schwab also took first place in the Series category for his “Paths of La Jolla” features on places to walk and hike around the community. Science writer Lynne Friedmann won first place in Columns for her research reports, second in Health & medicine, and third in Science & Technology. Sports editor Phil Dailey snared third place in Sports reporting for his story about the La Jolla Prep basketball academy setting up shop in La Jolla.
Inga’s biweekly “Let Inga Tell You” columns earned second and third place in the Humor category third place in Columns, third in essay/Commentary/Opinion. She also took first in the blog For/by Journalists category, and the Light’s theater critic Diana Saenger’s blog took second in that section. The Light’s sister papers from the mainStreet San Diego group also brought home a collection of honors. Work from their writers and photographers appears sometimes in the Light. Among the awards for the Del mar Times, Carmel valley News, rancho Santa Fe review and Solana beach Sun were several second place honors for marsha Sutton in the education category, essay/Commentary/Opinion, and Series. Joe Tash took home second place for General News and multicultural coverage, third place in Features. Contributors for the north coast papers also won the Sports Photography division and took second in Profiles. Poway Chieftain and rancho bernardo Journal reporters won the reviews/ Arts & entertainment Category and took second place in breaking News, Gardening, Food & restaurant, and third in Health & medicine and Political/Government.

Area researchers garnering honors Several local researchers have earned significant awards recently. Among them are those who have received New Innovator Awards from the National Institutes of Health for research projects “that challenge the status quo with innovative ideas that have the potential to propel fields forward and speed the translation of research into improved health for the American public.” Forty-nine people received the awards across the country, including: ■ From UCSD: John Chang, an assistant professor of medicine, and Na-

Children’s Pool gets new ranger The city of San Diego has hired a full-time ranger to patrol La Jolla’s Children’s Pool. “His name is Richard “Rich” Belesky and his previous experience includes the past three years with the city of Chula Vista as a senior park ranger,” Stacy LoMedico, the city’s Park and Recreation director, said in an e-mail. “He will be present at the pool as early as this weekend.” LoMedico said the new ranger position was budgeted in the city’s Fiscal Year 2012 budget from the general fund. She added the salary range for a park ranger is in the $41,059 to $48,878 range. The first ranger, hired in 2010, was paid for by an anonymous donation. The person assigned to the post resigned within weeks of being appointed. The new park ranger will be supervised by Dan Daneri, parks district manager.

Passing the torch: LJHS coaches share the past BY TIM RAYNER AND SARAH DEVERMANN LJHS High Tide Football has always been a popular sport at La Jolla High School. The Vikings began playing the game in 1924, only four years after the American Professional Football Organization (currently NFL) was founded. Now, the team is finishing its 88th season. Through the decades, La Jolla has strived to stay current with this ever-evolving sport. When the nation did away with the concussion-prone “leatherhead” helmets quite a while ago, La Jolla followed. When touchdowns became worth six points, rather than a mere two, La Jolla also adapted to the change. But the success and growth of the school’s team would not have been possible without the many coaches who dedicated much time and effort to the team. In celebration of La Jolla High School’s 90th anniversary, the three surviving former football coaches will be the Grand Marshals of the Homecoming Parade: Walt Harvey, Richard Huddleston and Dave Ponsford,
with Coach Ponsford representing the trio at the event. The parade will take place during halftime of Friday’s Homecoming Game. What is clearly evident is that these men take a lot of pride in this 88-year-old franchise that has been a finalist in CIF three times and won once in 1993. However, this pride runs much, much deeper. What most people do not know is that there is a legacy of coaches dating back to the late 1940s, starting with Samuel “Walt” Harvey. Harvey was the head football coach at La Jolla from 1948 to 1953. He then left to go coach at Lincoln High, then Crawford High in 1957, bringing home a CIF championship title in 1961. He retired in 1968. In his last two years of coaching at Crawford, one of his players was none other than Dave Ponsford. According to Ponsford, who went on to be the head coach at La Jolla for 11 years, “[Coach Harvey] is really the one who inspired me to coach and to teach.”

FROM HOMECOMING, A1 Luna Izpisua of the school’s Associated Student Body (ASB) said the Viking Homecoming theme is ‘through the decades’ because it’s the 90th anniversary. The schoolwide festivities surrounding the football game against Serra High are designed “so that the kids have fun,” ASB president Erik Vanstrum said. He wouldn’t reveal details but said a special treat is in store for those who turn out for the game, which starts at 6:30 p.m. at Gene Edwards Stadium on campus. The water polo teams face off against Serra, with Varsity at 4 p.m. followed by the Novice team. The students won’t be alone enjoying the festivities as there’s also the LJHS Alumni Association’s “Viking Alumni Reception” at 5 p.m. in the LJHS Library/Media Center before the game. “We’ll have refreshments, displays of memorabilia and souvenir sweaters and hats,” said Sandy Coggan Erickson Class of ‘62. “It’s a way for them (alumni) to visit before the game without having to find each other in the stands.” And on Wednesday, former and current teachers were treated to a luncheon on campus hosted by the PTA and Alumni Association. Izpisua, who has been working on the ASB plans, promises decorations for the homecoming dance in the big gym 8 to 11 p.m. on Saturday will be in keeping with the theme.

Vying for crowns Homecoming king and queen candidates are JC Casteneda, Kevin Cruz, Richard Sharpe and Dillon Cromwell for king and Briana Arias, Lauren Faulk, Ellen Latta and Megan Micheletti for queen.
“We’ll have pictures from old La Jolla High yearbooks from the ‘50s and ‘60s as well as homecoming queens from decades ago,” she said. This year’s king and queen will be crowned during halftime, which also features the traditional parade with class and alumni floats as well as members of the classes of 1956 and 1971. This year’s parade grand marshals are former Viking Varsity football coaches: Walt Harvey, Dick Huddleston and Dave Ponsford. A lunchtime pep rally on Friday will have classes competing, cheerleaders doing routines and everyone getting into the school spirit. Other ASB volunteers organizing this year’s homecoming game and dance include Melanie Lock, Sydney Mcleish, Kika Feune De Colombi, Savanah Harvey, Beatrice Smith, Erin Burns and Daniel Hamilton.

La Jolla High School principal: School funding out of whack By marsha sutton How the San Diego Unified School District funds its schools is a complicated process that La Jolla High School principal Dana Shelburne asserts is far from equitable, saying the better a school performs academically, the fewer dollars the school receives. “Schools are funded in reverse proportion to their success,” he said. “Why do we not have out of the general dollars a fairly equal distribution?” He said the per-pupil funding for SDUSD’s high schools ranges from $3,200 to $8,000. “It’s all over the map,” he said. The board of education, he said, has determined some schools should receive more funding from the general fund than others and that the board “has full authority to make decisions on how it’s going to fund schools.” but he called the disparity wrong and said all schools should be funded by the
“ Schools are funded in reverse
proportion to their success. Why do we not have out of the general dollars a fairly equal distribution? ”
— Dana Shelburne
La Jolla High School principal district within $100 of one another. Furthermore, because successful schools tend to be located in higher socio-economic neighborhoods, there is the perception that those schools are well-financed by private donations to their nonprofit foundations and have an unfair advantage. La Jolla High, Shelburne said, receives $3,200 per student, making it one of the lowest-funded schools in the district. If the foundation reaches its goal this year of raising $350,000, that amounts to just over $200 per student. Shelburne said $3,400 or
$3,500 per pupil is not a lot of money to work with. “The cost of an average teacher plus benefits is about $90,000,” he said. “You can’t go very far with a couple hundred thousand dollars.” Federal Title one money is allocated to schools with a high percentage of low-income students, identified as those qualifying for free or reducedprice lunch. Shelburne said La Jolla High has about 15 percent of these students (about 25 percent of the school’s total population is bused in from

From Foundations, a1 I’ve boiled it and there’s no meat left. I can’t even make soup out of it.” Sandy erickson, president of the Foundation of La Jolla High School, hopes to raise about $350,000 this year, through a general appeal and three fundraisers: the recent oct. 11 Taste of La Jolla (which attracted over 400 people and raised about $17,500), the annual gala in march to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the opening of La Jolla High School, and the 16th annual golf classic tournament in April at the La Jolla Country Club. Last year, donations totaled about $510,000, but that figure included a special campaign called Conquer the Cuts which brought in $160,000, specifically to raise money for teaching and staffing positions. That won’t happen again this year, erickson said. “Normally, the foundation is not in the people business,” said Shelburne. The foundation, which began in 1983 as the La Jolla boosters Club to support athletics, broadened its mission in 1986 to include expanded academic course offerings and, according to its website, “badly needed maintenance and improvements to La Jolla High School’s physical plant, and other critical resources necessary to continue to deliver a superior secondary education.” Not including the school’s endowment fund, there was about $700,000 on account at the start of this school year. erickson said there are more than 100 funds that parents can earmark their money for. most designate their contributions for a particular athletic sport, but there are also
funds for a variety of academic programs. only about $18,000 was designated for the general fund. La Jolla High School educates about 1,625 students in grades 9-12, down about 2 percent from a year ago. n Muirlands Middle School At nearby muirlands middle School, which enrolls about 1,100 students in grades 6-8 (3 percent more than in 2010), Foundation president Kristi Pieper said donations are primarily spent “on salaries for which district funding is no longer available.” This includes after-school tutors, science classroom support, 50 percent of the salary and benefits of one counselor, and a portion of the salaries for a vice-principal, a nurse and a librarian. The money is also used for small grants for teachers, classroom textbooks, school clubs, anti-bullying assemblies, youth leadership training, scholarships for field trips, science supplies, microscope maintenance, teacher luncheons and cultural arts. A campus beautification project also brings in money that funds school benches, places plants on campus, and helps keep the school and grounds clean. The muirlands Foundation, formed in 1989, hopes this year to raise $200,000.

www.lajollalight.com From Foundations, a10 Last year, nearly $97,000 was donated, Pieper said. “Next year there will be deeper budget cuts, and most likely some will happen in the middle of this year,” she said. “Generous donations given to muirlands keep the school running smoothly and academically competitive.” Elementary schools La Jolla’s three elementary schools — bird rock, La Jolla and Torrey Pines — each have their own foundations to support the instructional and enrichment needs of their kindergarten through fifth-grade students. bird rock elementary, with an all-time high this year of 530 students (plus 5 percent over a year ago), has a fundraising goal of $450,000 which comes to about $865 per student, said foundation president Neda mesri. This is the amount required “to bridge the gap between public funding and the cost of our high quality education,” according to the foundation’s website. “It is easy to think that the foundation’s only concern is to raise funds, but our core mission is much broader,” mesri said in an e-mail. “It is to support and enhance the curriculum at bird rock elementary School whenever possible. It is to create strong connections between school, family and the community.”

budget cuts. Generous donations given to Muirlands keep the school running smoothly and academically competitive. ” — Kristi Pieper
Muirlands Middle School Foundation president Torrey Pines elementary School this year also has its highest enrollment ever: 520 students — a gain of 7 percent. TPeS foundation president erin brown said the goal is to provide “funds necessary to keep programs alive at TPeS that otherwise are unfunded by the district.” The money raised supports class size reduction, technology, art, choral music, physical education, writing and literacy programs, math curriculum enhancement, library resources, field trips, $150 per teacher for classroom needs, science lab supplies and other equipment. Last year’s campaign brought in about $325,000, and the goal this year is $256,500, brown said. The TPeS foundation was
formed in the mid-1980s. La Jolla elementary School’s foundation, the Friends of La Jolla elementary Inc., raises money to pay for additional teachers in third, fourth and fifth grades, art and choral supplies and staffing, technology, a full-time library technician, and instructional material for classrooms. The nonprofit Friends was founded in 1984 and hopes to raise about $400,000 this year, or about $550 per student, said foundation president Donna Scurio. La Jolla elementary, with 630 students (2 percent higher), also receives about $200,000 annually from the Open Aire market, said market founder Sherry Ahern. Ahern, who started the weekly farmers market 13 years ago this month to help pay for a library and librarian, began with 14 vendors and now has about 150 vendors and hundreds of shoppers. Ahern also founded and coordinates the annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, held earlier this month. money raised from the two-day event, estimated this year to be about $60,000, is divided equally among the three La Jolla elementary schools. Although “down a little bit from last year,” Ahern said the event, now in its third year, attracted over 10,000 people. Calling the underfunding of education tragic, Ahern is an enthusiastic supporter of all the foundations’ efforts, and said, “We have to do what we can to support our kids.”

FROM FUNDING, A10 outside La Jolla), but that’s not enough to qualify for any Title one money. “So the kids are here but no money flows,” he said. “When you have another school getting $1.1 million Title one funds, they have a population that has different needs but it doesn’t mean other schools don’t have needs of their own.” He said he’d “like to see a level playing field” with the general fund dollars and then let the neediest schools with the more challenging populations receive federal money and state categorical funding for special programs. The $160,000 raised last year from La Jolla High School Foundation’s Conquer the Cuts campaign, which was held specifically to benefit staffing needs, was allocated at the start of this school year to shift the finance clerk from part-time to full-time, to add another work day for the librarian, and to pay the part-time salary of a teacher for American Sign Language, a new class at the school. In addition to the $160,000 earmarked for staffing positions, the foundation this year also allocated another $120,000 to classroom and office supplies (86,000), technology ($5,000), textbooks ($10,000) and an athletic trainer
($20,000). Foundation president Sandy erickson said about $360,000 was expended last year on technology, textbooks, library books, classroom supplies, equipment, theater, tennis courts, gymnasium upgrades, campus and field maintenance, uniforms, facility fees and athletic coaches. Without the foundation, programs and courses like World Languages would be lost, said Shelburne. “We could have nothing but Spanish,” he said. “but we prefer to have Latin and French and Spanish and American Sign Language.” And students taking visual and Performing Arts might only get one choice, he said, instead of several options that LJHS offers, like choir, band, theater or ceramics. maintaining high-quality educational programs is increasingly challenging, Shelburne said, even with generous private contributions. ominously, mid-year cuts have become more likely as state income has fallen below expectations. Shelburne said the district may be facing a mid-year loss of $30.5 million. Some of the school’s programs that cost extra money “are going to be tougher and tougher to logically validate as we find this monetary crunch becoming more and more vicious,” he said.

an unidentified player takes the field before the 1957 homecoming game. From CoaCh, a8 In 1981, Ponsford, having been the linebacker coach at Hoover High for some years, came to La Jolla the same year as richard Huddleston. Huddleston was selected to assist then head coach Gene edwards with the varsity team, while Ponsford headed the Junior varsity team. When edwards retired in 1989, Huddleston stepped up as head coach and was assisted by Ponsford. During his term as head coach, Huddleston took La Jolla to the CIF Finals three times — in 1991 and 1994, winning the title in 1993. by the time Huddleston retired in 1997, Ponsford was ready to finally take his dream job as head coach. Ponsford coached for 11 years until 2008, when he retired and passed the torch to his assistant, rey Hernandez, who had been with the La Jolla program since 1990. This legacy has led to a bigger sense of tradition and pride among the coaching staff, which carries over into the weight room (emblazoned with the motto, “No Pain, No Gain” on the main horizontal beam), in practice, and ultimately on the field. Coach Hernandez is still the head coach and is extremely grateful to be able to carry on such a legacy. meanwhile, Ponsford continues to teach history — just like Walt Harvey.

Researchers detail major molecular target for drugs
Research Report By Lynne Friedmann Three international teams of scientists, led by researchers at UCSD, University of michigan and Stanford University, have published a trio of papers describing the structure and workings of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCrs), a large family of human proteins that are the target of one-third to one-half of modern drugs. GPCrs are involved in almost every human physiological function. Located within the membranes of cells, these receptors detect arriving hormones, chemical neurotransmitters, odors and other signaling molecules, then activate internal proteins, which, behaving like molecular switches, initiate other events that affect everything from the senses and behavior to fundamental functions like heart rate and blood pressure. malfunctions in these signaling pathways have been linked to dozens of diseases, including diabetes, blindness,
asthma, depression and some forms of cancer. but historically GPCrs have been very difficult to work with and many drugs based on targeting GPCrs have been hit or miss because little has been known about how GPCrs work at the sub-molecular level. These three complementary papers go a long way toward addressing that shortfall. Two of the papers are coverstory articles in the journal Nature. The third paper appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). News release at http://bit.ly/saAtL3. Scripps Research gets top ranking The Scripps research Institute (TSrI) tops a recent decade-long international ranking of institutions for “impact” (citations per scientific paper) in the field of chemistry. The ranking, published in Thomson reuter’s ScienceWatch newsletter, tracks trends and performance in basic research during the period 2001 to 2011.

Genetics and alcoholism A study by UCSD School of medicine researchers suggests that differences in brain activation in individuals with a low level of response to alcohol may contribute to their inability to recognize modest levels of alcohol intoxication. A low level of response to alcohol is a genetically influenced characteristic that carries significant risk for the later development of alcoholism. In the study researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmrI) to examine brain activation in young men and women, ages 18 to 25, with both low and high level of response to alcohol and found significant differences in brain activation between individuals while performing a cognitive task. The findings could provide a marker to identify individuals at risk for developing an alcohol-use disorder before it develops.

The Invisible In Canal (IIC) is virtually undetectable! Breaking News
At a recent gathering of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), scientists revealed a hearing aid microchip processor so small that it can fit inside a hearing aid shell custom formed to your ear canal to fit right next to the ear drum. It sits so deep in the canal that it ends where other hearing aids begin. And that makes it completely undetectable to anyone else. In fact, we like to say it’s “invisible.”
Packs a Punch
Despite its miniature size, the processor inside the “Invisible-In-Canal” hearing aid is so powerful it supports the most sophisticated advances in digital hearing technology to date. It is so fast, that it samples the listening environment 2,000 times per second and makes automatic adjustments to the sound it delivers to your ear. When someone is talking, it is designed to quiet the background noise in-between syllables and amplify the speaker’s voice so that you can clearly hear and understand the words.
No Whistling, Buzzing or Plugged-up Feeling
It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellation technology. This means the annoying whistling and buzzing your uncle’s old hearing aids used to make is a thing of the past. In addition, the positioning of the hearing aid beyond the second bend in the ear canal is meant to work with the ear’s natural acoustics to deliver more precise and natural sound—and resolve that pluggedup or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint of many hearing aid wearers).
Are You Missing Too Much?
You’ve worked hard all your life. It’s time to be reaping some of that reward. Don’t let your hearing loss rob you of the things you enjoy most in life: the relationships with your friends and family. You can get help now without suffering the stigma of yesterday’s hearing aids.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Contemporary Fine Arts features clay creations Contemporary Fine Arts Gallery in La Jolla will offer a month-long exhibit of artists working in clay and ceramics titled “From The earth” in the el Patio building on Ivanhoe Avenue on Nov. 4. The works of Kelley Lowe, who recently retired after teaching 35 years at The bishop’s School where he was chair of the visual Arts Department, along with marcela Panasiti, Jane burton and John Conrad will be introduced at a public reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at the gallery at 7946 Ivanhoe Ave. “They all work in clay and yet their work is so different from one another,” said Lisa Jacobsen, who owns the gallery with her husband Jonathan Gal. “People think of clay and ceramics as something you find at a craft show, but it’s a wonderful, beautiful medium for fine art and this show is really an example of it. It takes ceramics to a whole new level.”
Kelley Lowe exhibits a few of his pieces before the show. COURTESY
Featured artists and their works include: • Argentine-born Marcela Panasiti, who creates primitive two- and three-dimensional adobe clay creations inspired by Arizona landscapes; • Jane Burton who creates large-scaled 4- to 20-foot tall hand-built ceramic sculptures; • International lecturer John Conrad who has a passion for his white stonewear and porcelain functional and sculptural
creations, and • Kelley Lowe who creates “paintings on stonewear” intended for displays on walls, easels or as featured centerpieces. Contemporary Fine Arts, celebrating its 20th anniversary next year, strives to present a unique mix of mediums from current international and emerging artists. “We carry wood, bronze, stainless steel, ceramic, copper, glass and long lists of oil and acrylic paintings,” said Jacobsen. “It’s a really wide range of contemporary art.” Jacobsen said her gallery works closely with clients. “We’re very hands-on. We go to clients’ homes and help them integrate their new art into their existing collection.” Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily except for Fridays and Saturdays when hours are extended until 10 p.m. Call (858) 551-2010 or visit www.contemporaryfineartsgallery.com.
Adelaide’s new owners continue Holiday Open House tradition Adelaide’s flowers, which was founded in 1936, recently celebrated being in business for 75 years. on Nov. 15, 2011, brother and sister, Debbie and Steve Newell will celebrate their one-year anniversary of owning this iconic La Jolla institution. In honor of this rich history, Adelaide’s will continue to host and organize, for various La Jolla merchants along Girard Avenue, a Holiday open House. The Debbie event, which attracts Newell hundreds of individuals annually, will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 6. In addition to the amazing holiday décor Adelaide’s has become famous for, the open house will include the choir, La Jolla Country Day madrigals, who will perform at noon, along with carolers and refreshments. Adelaide’s has been a pillar in the La Jolla/San Diego community and has a long-standing reputation for superb
service and amazing floral design work for many high-end events. Debbie Newell has put her interior design background to work and has recently rebranded the company with a new logo, current interior colors and product selection. She meets women who recall the wonderful florals and décor Adelaide’s produced for their children’s weddings. recognizing the need for honoring this past, Debbie is committed to continuing on with the Adelaide’s “classic design” that has made her business so successful. She recognizes, however, that she needs to stay current in design for today’s bridal couples and customers who often lean toward a contemporary look. For this reason, Debbie is always pushing the envelope with design and encourages her design team to study the artistry of florals coming out of europe, New York and other cosmopolitan cities. Adelaide’s is located at 7766 Girard Ave. (858) Call 454-0146 or go to www. adelaidesflowers.com to learn more.

Since 1969 · Heinz Gietz
einz Gietz Autohaus is one of the most special gems in the La Jolla community. Located in its original location on Virginia Way since 1969, it is one of California’s original Mercedes-Benz Factory Authorized Service Dealers. It is the only one left of its kind. With an open-air service center and a real family atmosphere you can watch your car being worked on and get real old world customer appreciation. Originally from Frankfurt Germany, Heinz Gietz was trained as a Mercedes-Benz technician in 1938. He was eventually named Lead Technician for Aguie Pabst’s (heir of Pabst Blue Ribbon) Gullwing Race Team. While traveling with Aguie, Mr. Gietz visited San Diego and immediately fell in love with La Jolla. He moved here with his wife Ilse and Heinz Gietz Autohaus was born. 42 years later, the business is operated by his daughter, Sonja Gietz, and his grandson Dieter-Heinz Kijora.
Heinz Gietz Mercedes-Benz is an Authorized Service Center that offers white glove family service along with the power and expertise of Mercedes-Benz trained authorized technicians and parts personnel. They now also operate an onsite luxury and exotic car tuning company HG Motorsports that specializes in performance modifications and aesthetic add-ons for many makes.

We thank the La Jolla Light for its positive support of the La Jolla village merchants Association (LJvmA) but need to clarify the possibility of misunderstandings that may occur from the oUr vIeW column in the paper last week. The LJvmA has only existed for about six months; we are still in the early stages of developing our strategic plan that we anticipate announcing in the New Year. Whilst the public may hear of many initiatives that we are discussing we are realistic and know that to achieve everything we and the rest of the community want it requires commitment by members of the
LJvmA and the wider community of La Jolla. We are committed to achieving our objective to re-energize our community; we are not just talking businesses. We will do what we can when we can with the financial and volunteer resources that we have available. Some of the projects we are considering are very long-term and require significant funding. We are very mindful that we must not overreach in terms of volunteer effort and funds available. our most important objective is to facilitate cooperation and consensus building in La Jolla. We ask for open discussion amongst all groups in our community. We can create harmony from discord and form a common view for the future of La Jolla. We ask all community groups to consider the possibility of meeting once or twice a year to imagine La Jolla’s future.

Locals’ driving habits cause for concern
‘Gateway’ to La Jolla needs some help
I am a native La Jollan, born and raised, and have lived in La Jolla for 47 years. I’ve been biting my tongue on this so here it goes. Please tell our fellow drivers to slow down and look both directions when turning on the streets. I am appalled, especially seeing mothers in their cars talking on the phone, texting with their children in the back seat, not paying attention to that person crossing the street — especially on Herschel, Pearl and High streets. I can’t tell you the numerous times I’ve almost gotten hit because of our oblivious, careless drivers. Shame on you! And to top if off, I’ve been cussed at, given the birdie and stink eye, just for crossing the street. Wake up people before you end up hurting someone. Fed up! S. Clancy La JoLLa
Given all the planned street/area improvements in La Jolla that I read about in the La Jolla Light, I was curious about the improvements planned for the La Jolla Parkway — specifically, the section that feeds from Highway 52 West, after the lane barrier sections end down to the intersection of Torrey Pines road and Hidden valley road. Due to the light at this intersection, the westbound parkway traffic backs up toward Highway 52. Consequently, motorists slowly travel down the parkway and are subject to a deplorable sight in the middle, and on either side, of the westbound lanes while they wait to enter La Jolla. The term “Parkway” does not usually bring to mind weeds, exposed tarp paper, bare dirt and trash. This is exactly what visitors and
It is generally acknowledged that the nation that leads in science and technology will lead the world. For more than half a century, the United States has held that position and defined the standard for quality of life, industrial might, and national security. Today, we are in danger of losing that advantage. Whereas most university scholarships are needbased, an ARCS award (from the Achievement Rewards for College Student Foundation) targets the best and the brightest in the fields of science, engineering, and medical research. It is an achievement award given to scholars who have already demonstrated their ability and, in the opinion of their advisors, show exceptional promise. As we talk about the importance of innovation in helping San Diego maintain the competitive advantage that has made us known as one of the nation’s scientific leaders, we need to recognize that it is precisely from among these scholars that the innovation needed is most likely to come. The San Diego economy is based heavily on defense, biomedical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, wireless communication and software industries. The symbiotic relationship between these industries and the outstanding universities and research centers in our region cannot be overstated. These young scholars under the direction of senior scientists help produce the research and development in many areas of science and technology that support existing companies and lead to the creation of new businesses. And, as they graduate, these are the scientists and engineers, ready to meet the needs of local industry. It is essential that we encourage and retain students

A pat on the back for setting limits David Little’s view re: 30-foot height limits was excellent. As he said, “If you are in a place of influence and have money” and know developers and architects, you get your way. I know.

There is another, seemingly simple, solution, which could satisfy all of the parties at interest. removing the crossbeam or de-crossing of the cross would leave a spire or obelisk, which could be as inspirational as viewers wished. Those having strong beliefs could still “see,” in their minds, the crossbeam, whereas those objecting to religious symbols on publicly owned property would or should be satisfied. The cost of the de-crossing would be minimal and the expensive legal battle ended. Seems pretty simple to me.

I want to express appreciation for your past coverage of the riford Center, which has become such a meaningful resource for our community. I have mS, am a senior, and have particularly benefited from their introducing a Weight Watchers program to La Jolla. being of limited mobility, I gradually gained a lot of weight I did not need, but with the program have shed more than 40 pounds, which has certainly made it easier to be more mobile. I have met friends and neighbors who had no idea that a weight program was one of riford’s offerings, so I’m writing in the hope others might benefit. riford information is at http://www.rifordcenter.org/

Kathleen Sullivan Rogers 1949 – 2011
Kathleen Sullivan Rogers was born July 31, 1949, in La Jolla, CA, the daughter of Eleanor (Nonnie) Barbey of La Jolla and John D. Sullivan of Coronado. She died October 20, 2011, after a courageous eight-year battle with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at her home in Zephyr, Texas, with her husband, Robert, by her side. Kathleen attended Rancho Santa Fe Elementary School, La Jolla Country Day School and the University of Arizona. She spent two years abroad studying French at Chateau Mont Choisi Lausanne, Switzerland. She was a member of the ZLAC Rowing Club, Rancho Riding Club in Rancho Santa Fe and Rancho Santa Fe Tennis Club.
Kathleen devoted much of her life to training and caring for animals, especially horses. Prior to her marriage, she broke and trained award winning show horses, which she rode in horse shows throughout California. Before her health prevented her from living in high altitudes, Kathleen and her husband owned a ranch in Colorado where they raised and trained horses and Border Collies. Several of the animals (including a horse that lived to the incredible age of 48) moved with them to Texas. Kathleen’s kindness and patience were also invaluable assets in her work with children. When she was a young girl she worked with cerebral palsy patients in the swimming pool of her family’s Rancho Santa Fe home. After she married, she taught elementary school in Colorado and was an active volunteer for disabled children. Friends remember Kathleen as a beautiful, self-effacing woman whose courage, sense of humor and compassion for others survived a long series of debilitating illnesses. Kathleen is survived by
her husband, Robert Rogers of Zephyr, TX; mother, Nonnie Barbey of La Jolla; father, John D. Sullivan of Coronado; brother, John Sullivan of Rancho Santa Fe; and sister, Laurel Korholz of Princeton, NJ. Services will be held November 12, 2011, at 2pm at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla. A reception will follow at The Marine Room in La Jolla. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to your favorite charity or to UCLA Epilepsy Foundation, V.A. Wadsworth Center, 11301 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90073.

Bishop’s back to full strength in win Knights top Torreys in rivalry game By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com The bishop’s School was finally back to playing with its full roster last weekend and the result was a dominant homecoming performance. The Knights (5-3 overall, 1-2 Coastal League) upended crosstown rival La Jolla Country Day 3516 to end a three-game losing streak that started on oct. 7. It was the third straight win for the Knights against the Torreys. For Country Day (6-2, 1-2), it was the team’s second straight loss in three games playing in the Coastal League for the first time in more than a decade. Among the starters back for bishop’s was Qb Joey moreno, who did not play the last two games. moreno, the team’s starter on last season’s state championship team was missed on offense which combined for only 39 points in the team’s three losses this season. on Saturday night, moreno was
key in leading the Knights’ offense to 14 quick points in the first quarter and a 70-yard TD pass to Dominique Love late in the second quarter. Leading 21-9 with 11 seconds to play in the half, bishop’s head coach Joel Allen decided to take a shot and see if his team could get one more score. “I figured we would get one play and if we didn’t get it we would punt it and go to halftime,” Allen said. The Knights faked a screen pass to Love, who then ran as fast as he could down the left sideline. moreno contacted with Love as he scooted into the end zone with only 4 seconds to play in the half. The ensuing point-after gave the Knights a 19-point lead. “The play originally was a quick screen, but the team noticed that the Torreys were stopping it,” said Love, who has scholarship offers to play football at Colorado and Army. “(moreno) actually overthrew it and I was actually surprised when I caught it and I just ran.” The Torreys came out after halftime and got a score on the team’s

La Jolla Youth Baseball gears up for diamond anniversary organization wants historical photos through Facebook La Jolla Youth baseball started in La Jolla in 1952, but not much is known about the early years. As the LJYb board and volunteers plan for its 60th season, a concerted effort will be made to reach out to the players and supporters of prior eras and ask that people help fill in the blanks. It seems fitting that LJYb would celebrate their Diamond Anniversary with great fanfare, given the game is played on a diamond. The question remains, what is the best way to account for the past six decades? A couple of weeks ago, LJYb set up a new Facebook page and is asking everyone with a history or relationship with the organization to “Like” the La Jolla Youth baseball page. There is a link to the page on www. LJYb.org if one does not have a Facebook account. on the website is a digital photo album and people are encouraged to upload any vintage photos from LJYb teams and players. The photos are being maintained by decade so please upload any photos with the identifying information: team/player/
year and add background information as needed. LJYb will not tag photos — that should be done by the individuals in the photos. entering into the 60th season, LJYb is as strong as it’s ever been. Last season there were 425 kids ages 4-14 playing in Shetland, Pinto, mustang, bronco and Pony divisions, with all games being played on the beautiful fields at Cliffridge Park. LJYb is a classic recreational league that encourages players of any ability to participate — assuming they want to learn, improve and enjoy the game of baseball. LJYb is led by a group of volunteer parents who are elected to three-year terms and there is no paid staff. At the october meeting, the new board was installed and the following individuals are busy planning for the 2012 season: Jim benham (President), Tom murphy (vice President), rick macdonald (Secretary), Dan ryan (Treasurer), Jim Duffy (At Large), brian LaGrange (At Large) and Tim Scott (At Large & Past President). Five new Llague presidents were also appointed: Paul Delmore (Pony), eric brown (bronco), Neil Hyytinen (mustang), brad Kates (Pinto) and Greg Hansen (Shetland). online registration will open in midNovember.

That would be as close as they would get. “I thought looking in the kids’ eyes in the locker room in the pregame, I thought they were ready to go, but obviously we came out and were unusually flat to start and got down,” LJCD head coach Jeff Hutzler said. “I thought we played hard at times but had some mental lapses at times too,” Hutlzer added. “bishop’s is a good team, well coached. It was their homecoming game and it would have been great to take it from them.” The Knights sensed the game would yield a different result than the previous three games during practices leading up to the rivalry game. “It was great having everyone back, we

had key players missing, it was not only hurting us out there on the field physically, but emotionally too,” Love said. “We had a great practice having everyone back and it just felt good and we got back to our old self.” Having Seau back at full strength, who also had been hampered by injuries, was also key as the sophomore running back ran for the team’s first touchdown as well as catching the team’s second score, a screen pass from moreno. Seau also scored on a 5-yard run in the second quarter. “It was important to get back on track,” Allen said. “I told the guys, ‘If there was a must win, it was tonight.’” Up next for Country Day is a road game at Christian: bishop’s will host Horizon at La Jolla High.

SECTION B 10 QUESTIONS
Krista Heron Baroudi mixes business and art with parenting and service Krista Heron Baroudi’s life has been surrounded with business and art from an early age. Born in Northern California, her parents raised her in the midst of the San Francisco art and antique world, where at age 5, she began working as a runner Krista Heron for Butterfields Baroudi Auction House. Both parents were photographic hobbyists, so Krista’s love for photography began with her first box camera at age 7. Krista attended La Jolla High School and worked in the family hotel, La Jolla Cove Suites, which her grandfather built in 1959. In the mid 1980s, she left the hotel to start her own business, The Nail Gallery of La Jolla. She also worked as a concert photographer for promoters, newspapers, and Kicks Magazine. Krista has been CEO of La Jolla Cove Suites and managing partner for Universal Boot Shops since 2001, and still maintains a small photography business. She is the mother of two sons. Her philanthropic efforts have always been focused on area schools, and she hosts an annual Christmas event for the children of St. Vincent’s Shelter at the hotel. Krista is a member of the La Jolla Kiwanis. What brought you to La Jolla? I moved to La Jolla in 1976 with my parents. My mother and father were both native San Diegans, so when my father retired, we came down to be with the rest of our family. Once finished with La Jolla High, I never thought to leave. I wouldn’t want to call any place else home! What makes the town special to you? This area holds my family’s history. Even though I spent my childhood in Northern California, we would come down for all of our holidays and summers. As kids, we would always fight over who would get to run the switchboard at the hotel, which back then had all of the connecting cables. Today, I look out the window of my office and am reminded every day of how lucky I am to be living in such a beautiful area.

Teen on track to raise $10,000 for type 1 diabetes research BY JENNA JAY The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) will hold its annual Walk to Cure Diabetes on Saturday, Nov. 12 bringing thousands of participants to Balboa Park for a 3K stroll or 5K walk to raise money for the fight against type 1 diabetes. Rallying troops for the walk in and around La Jolla High School is senior Christian Gimber, whose personal fundraising goal of $10,000 inches closer to fruition. Gimber’s team, aka Christian Gimber Family and Friends, has amassed more than $20,000 to date since Gimber was
diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 13 years ago. This year, the teen’s $10,000 goal celebrates his efforts with the JDRF San Diego chapter before he relocates to an undecided college this fall. “I hope that wherever I go, I can join a walk there, but I realize this is the last time I’ll be doing this one with my family and friends here, so that’s why I’m trying to make this the biggest effort and go out with a bang,” Gimber said. “It’s a big goal, but I want to cast my net big this year and try to get a lot of people involved.”

After the program, he posed with Promises2Kids board members Deborah Marengo, Romy Selati Loseke and Mia Babson Goldklang. Pelzer was subject to one of the worst child-abuse cases in California history at the hands of this mother. Teachers never contacted the police until he was 12 years old. Once police were notified, Pelzer was removed from his home and sent to live in foster homes until age 18. During this time, he was able to overcome some of his anguish and he became determined to educate the world.

Artistic mother of four marks creative decade with sale to benefit kids By Jenna Jay Abstract painter Karen Deicas DePodesta, of Deicas Art in La Jolla, will celebrate her 10-year anniversary with a show/sale of 50 pieces of saved artwork, giving a portion of the proceeds to art programs at the Storefront Shelter, a refuge for homeless kids, ages 12-17, and ARTS (A Reason to Survive), a project dedicated to empowering children facing challenges through art. “I wanted to donate proceeds from my show to these programs, not only because it felt right to do good, but because I find it incredibly important to recognize that not everyone is blessed with the most basic things in life, like a roof over their heads and food on the table,” DePodesta said. “I truly believe that creativity is at the core of every child, and wanted to help give that powerful outlet to homeless children who may not have such simple opportunities.” The show begins at 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 at 1420

Inspiration Drive in La Jolla. “Ten years is a big deal for an artist … you’ve been able to go beyond your first show, have had collectors buy multiple paintings, have invitations to shows, and you’re legitimate,” DePodesta said. “People continue to like what you do, even when you try to change and explore.” From paintings she’s been too attached to sell for several years to more recent pieces, DePodesta’s work will be discounted at the anniversary show.

piece will be different, but all will bear the same title — or lack thereof. DePodesta said she refrains from naming her paintings, and insists that viewers interpret her art without guidance of what the work signifies. “My work’s meaning is indivisible from the viewer’s reaction,” she said. “I don’t want to tell them what they see. Their reaction to it, the emotion or feeling that is evoked in what they see, is my communication to them.”

In this way, DePodesta has been able to communicate with viewers around the world. Her artwork has been featured at galleries and festivals, from SoHo to Stockholm and beyond. Aside from her signature nameless paintings, DePodesta has also become known for the blocks of color and abstract imagery in her work. “When I started painting, I used to do somewhat abstract but recognizable imagery for the sake of exploration of expression, but it
gave me direction,” DePodesta said. “With time, I have found that I’ve gone more and more abstract, and really let just the interplay of color and the search for balance be my guide, which on one hand I find more challenging, but also just more fun.” While she continues to grow as an artist, DePodesta balances her career with taking care of her young children. “Being a mom of four and wanting to show them that it’s important to stick with something and have
major accomplishments and share those major accomplishments with people, and do good with those accomplishments are important lessons,” DePodesta said. These days, DePodesta’s artwork is mainly commissioned, though she exhibited pieces at the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival.

UCSD PRIME students drive collaboration with Museum of Photographic Arts By Chris Palmer Visitors to a recent technology and art exhibit in Japan were able to use hightech touch-screen interface technology to play the role of museum curator thanks to technology developed in part by two UCSD students. As part of their research for the PRIME (Pacific Rim Experiences for Undergraduates) program at the UCSD division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2), undergraduates Lance Castillo and Wesley Hsu designed the touch screen interface for a table that allows exhibit visitors to manipulate digital copies of photographs. The touch-sensitive table was featured at this summer’s Knowledge Capital Trial Event in Osaka, Japan, which brings together cutting-edge technology and art. The project was the first of its kind between UCSD, the San Diego-based Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA), and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Tokyo. “The goal of the project is to blend the museum field with technology, using UCSD undergraduates to bridge the two,” said Jason Haga, assistant project scientist in UCSD’s department of bioengineering
left: lance Castillo and Wesley hsu pose with their touch table, which allows museum visitors to interact with photos in an exhibit. Center: The title wall displays images selected by visitors for ‘personal collections.’ right: a closeup of the museum touch table. Courtesy Photos and PRIME mentor. The touch-sensitive screen interface at the Knowledge Capital event allowed visitors to view and manipulate digitized images of 50 photographs from MOPA’s collection, ranging from portraits to cityscapes. Users employed hand gestures on the surface of the 2.5-inch x 3-inch screen (which resembles an overgrown iPad) to choose photographs from a scrollable side bar and drag them to a central workspace for closer inspection. Within the workspace, photographs can be enlarged and shrunk with expanding and pinching finger movements. Touching an icon on the side of each photograph provides the name of the photographer and other technical and historical details about the
photograph. These features operate with a fluidity and responsiveness that creates a highly immersive experience. After playing around with the photographs, visitors drag up to 10 favorites into the “My Gallery” portion of the computer interface where the order of the photographs can be finalized and stored along with the visitor’s name and a title chosen for their personalized collection. “It’s a fun exercise in letting people get a glimpse of how you make a collection, how you group images that have a connection to each other,” said MOPA Deputy Director Vivian Kung Haga. To engage the visitors who choose to merely observe, Castillo and Hsu connected the touch table to a nearby tile-wall display of 24 computer monitors, which

touch. Infrared beams run through a sheet of transparent acrylic. When the surface of the acrylic is touched, the infrared beams are locally deflected downward, indicating the precise

location and timing of the touch. This touch-sensing technology is different, and far cheaper, than the capacitive touch technology of the iPad or iPod that relies on sensing the small electrical currents in users’ fingertips, according to Nguyen. MOPA plans to bring in Hsu and Castillo as consultants to install and update its touch-screen interface on a larger, sleeker version of the touch table for a Fall 2012 exhibit. The screen will display more photographs from MOPA’s collection, as well as audio and video clips related to the photographs. MOPA officials plan to allow visitors, as well as users of its website, to select their favorite photos.

CEO shoots from the hip in new book loaded with biz lessons By Steven Mihailovich When you walk into the La Jolla Shores office of Neil Senturia’s investment company, Blackbird Ventures, there’s a sign above his desk that sticks out like a bright, floral-patterned gown at a funeral. The sign contains four simple words in two sentences. “F**k you. Pay me.” Is it supposed to be funny? A warning? Perhaps a mission statement? Like beauty itself, the meaning lies in the eye of the beholder, but it speaks volumes about the owner. Senturia is a hard-bitten, straight-talking, painfully honest, eminently practical man. His gaunt face, large eyeglasses, lean, almost frail, physique belie a tough interior, essential in his almost 30 years in business. He’s that special sort of businessman: the entrepreneur. Senturia wasn’t always thus. He said he began his career in Hollywood in the 1970s as a writer, creating scripts for hit TV sitcoms like “MASH,” “The Bob Newhart Show,” and “Alice,” among others, before his
‘I’m There For You, Baby: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Galaxy, Volume 1,’ by Neil Senturia, 215 pages, Blackbird Ventures, $19.95, Amazon.com entrepreneurial streak eventually took hold. Senturia combined his two prodigious talents — entrepreneurship and writing — to pen “I’m There For You, Baby: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to the Galaxy, Volume 1,” his first book. “The premise behind the book was, can you tell the truth,” Senturia said. “I had the sense that sometimes the entrepreneur, the featured speaker, doesn’t always
tell the truth. He or she stands up and says, I started the company, then I raised some money, and then it worked out perfectly, and I sold it for a $100 million. And you sort of say, listen a******, what I really want to ask you is tell me about the failure. Was it exactly like that? In other words, what’s the truth? There’s always a dark side to the truth. So I wanted to see if I could peel back and tell as true a story as I could.” Above all, Senturia is humorous. As evidenced, Senturia can be vulgar, but it’s not profanity for the sake of it. For instance, the book’s cover illustration depicts a single barb from a barbed wire. Closer inspection will reveal a different interpretation of the picture, an alternative that Senturia said was deliberate. “That’s the nature of entrepreneurship,” he noted. “The world does that to you. And then, when you’ve overcome obstacles and you have a success, they say, I knew all along ... But at the beginning, does anybody

reach down and say, I’d like you to do (something)? Nobody does that. If you get that job, it will be because you pounded on the doors; you beat on the walls. The basic response of the world to entrepreneurs is ... [makes rude gesture].” Senturia is passionate about entrepreneurship. Aside from his stint in TV writing, he’s been a real estate developer, taught entrepreneurship at San Diego State University, and started six tech companies, of which one failed and the rest sold to industry giants such as Cisco and Lockheed Martin, according to his biography. Currently, he teaches at the UCSD with his wife, Barbara Bry, and the pair writes a weekly column for the Union-Tribune that has the same title as his book. Senturia maintains that the entrepreneur is a breed apart. To illustrate the point, he noted that when Bry asked 40 students in their class whether they would forsake the security of a biweekly paycheck to start a business, only eight hands went up. “I don’t think you can teach someone to be an entrepreneur,”
Senturia said. “You can teach entrepreneurial principles. But at some level, this entrepreneur thing is in your DNA. I’m saying if you need to, it’s your nature, then you find a way to do it.” The book is a biography of sorts, offering vignettes from Senturia’s long career in making deals and running companies that are followed by a rule, almost always witty and quirky. The book contains 223 rules out of the 500 or so Senturia said his experience
in business has taught him. “In all proper immodesty and humility and arrogance, we get to the end and it’s going to the printer, and I make one change,” Senturia said. “I put the words ‘Volume One.’ I thought to myself, I’m not done telling stories so I want to let people know that Volume Two is coming eventually. It was a little hubris. I mean, Volume One. I did it tongue-in-cheek.” The 61-year-old Senturia said he hasn’t toured with the book because, of course, he’s been busy forming two new companies — Oberon Fuels and LonoCloud — since the book’s release. But the book has nonetheless opened new doors, including the chairmanship of a company that was offered to him after the company’s CEO read the book, he added. “(The book) taught me a lot of lessons,” Senturia said. “First of all, I had a lot of fun doing it. Number two, I did it for the wrong reasons but it worked out right. Or maybe I did it for the right reasons and it worked out wrong. I haven’t decided.”

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you improve in La Jolla? I would wish every storefront was filled with successful familyowned businesses. Those businesses are one of the things that make La Jolla the special village it is. Who or what inspires you? My mother has inspired me from day one with her approach to life. You never saw my mother without a smile or a positive attitude. Mom was always working for this organization or that school, yet she always made me feel like I was No. 1. She adored my father
for almost 50 years of marriage until death separated them. Mom was the glue that held our family together. They broke the mold after mom. I miss her dearly. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? You might expect me to throw in some famous people … maybe Steven Tyler or Johnny Depp, but I’m a family girl at heart. My two sons, my grandparents on both sides, my mother and my father. My mother was the only one who got to meet my children; she passed away right after my younger son’s first birthday. My grandfather, who
built the family business, was the only one I ever really knew. Having a little more time with my mother would be a dream come true. More importantly, I would like my sons to know firsthand what amazing people they are related to.
it down! “Titanic,” when I’m feeling romantic; “Silence of the Lambs” and “The Shining” … always love a good scare; “Up,” when I’m feeling down; and “Jerry McGuire,” it always gives me an excuse for a good cry.
What is your most-prized possession? I don’t “own” my kids, but I take a lot of pride in them. So, probably my family business, because it represents four generations of my family. But then there is this diamond ring my mom left me …
What do you do for fun? The boys and I are big movie buffs. There probably isn’t a movie I wouldn’t see. I’m a huge foodie and love collecting wines. Considering I throw a lot of dinner parties and usually have everyone over for holiday dinners, it’s difficult to keep the cellar stocked. Travel, who says no to a trip? Thanks to my mother, I will al-
What are your favorite movies? I love movies … tough to narrow
ways collect art. I couldn’t live without my camera. I always have one with me. Don’t tell anyone, but I have a spinning wheel, too. Your greatest accomplishment? Hands down: motherhood. All mothers can attest that this is an all-consuming job, yet a most-rewarding and most-important job. My two sons are the world to me. What is your motto of life? Patience, devotion and compassion! Patience in knowing all things eventually resolve, devotion to the ones you love, and compassion for those who need your patience.

Music, dancing and Spanish dishes make Café Sevilla a choice delicioso By Kelley Carlson afé Sevilla is a dining and entertainment venue seemingly straight out of Spain in the heart of San Diego’s Gaslamp District. The tri-level establishment showcases architecture with a Moorish influence, with arches and texture variations ranging from stone to wood to marble. On the dimly lit main level that is bathed in a red glow, guests casually socialize around tables while being scrutinized by the statue of a bull standing guard over the bar. Dangling from the immense ceiling is possibly the largest chandelier in Southern California, according to Michael Miller, restaurant manager. Meanwhile, the sounds of live music enhance the vibrant atmosphere — gypsy fusion, traditional flamenco and Latin pop — can be heard nightly, starting at 9 p.m. weekdays and 10 p.m. weekends. Patrons can watch the action below from the mezzanine, where chairs and tables line the edge. Tables draped in white linen are set slightly farther back, providing a more traditional restaurant setting. Sculptures of flamenco

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: Café Sevilla’s Brunch Paella dancers and ships encased in glass accent the room, and a large wine rack decorates the back wall. Below the main floor, in Sevilla Nightclub, the focus is on dancing. Café Sevilla’s flamenco dinner shows are strong and rhythmic, powerful yet graceful. Friday nights feature gypsy fusion, while Saturdays are more traditional flamenco. The area is dramatically lit in colors like red, green and blue, while a mirror ball in the center adds a playful touch. Guests enjoy a prix-fixe menu, including the famous Spanish dish of Paella Valenciana, with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, scallops, chicken and grilled Spanish sausages in saffron bomba rice. “An extravagant menu” with
“flavors that are explosive” is served all evening long at Café Sevilla, according to Miller. The signature tapas bar includes items such as Tortilla Espanola, with roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic and goat cheese; Warm Aged Goat Cheese with grilled bread; and Grilled Chicken Skewer. There are about a half-dozen choices of empanadas, including Cheese & Chorizo, Beef and Wild Mushroom. Among the entrees are Black Paella Tapa, with black bomba rice and seafood; Filet Mignon Chilindron, with mustard paprika sauce and mushrooms; and Lobster & Seafood Bisque. Children’s menus are not offered at Café Sevilla, but kids are accommodated, Miller noted. Brunch is available on Sundays, with an array of
items from fresh waffles to Seared Ahi Tuna Bites to Herb Marinated Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce, along with salads, tapas and a chocolate fountain. Perhaps the most popular item at Café Sevilla is a pitcher of sangria. Miller said that during the restaurant’s recent closure (as it was preparing for a move from Fourth to Fifth Avenue) most of the venue’s Facebook posts asked, “When will you open so I can have some sangria?” For a fun night on the town, Miller recommends coming late, enjoying dinner and listening to three hours of “amazing artists,” or perhaps taking a salsa lesson at the downstairs nightclub, where patrons “dress to impress.” For a more intimate experience, he suggests making reservations in the mezzanine. Out-of-town visitors may appreciate the flamenco dinner show. “Most diners are going out to have dinner,” Miller said. “We provide so many other options.” While Café Sevilla tends to be consistently busy, he said early dining is more relaxed. But by 9 p.m., “it’s an amazing, lively atmosphere,” Miller said. “At times, it rivals the club.”

Single Mom and Seedy Boyfriend: A love story
Let Inga tell you ... I can say with some authority after 12 years of having been a single mother that there is no lower form of life that ever crawled from the primordial ooze. Well, maybe one: Single Mom’s Seedy Boyfriend. Fungi get better press. Mom’s Boyfriend is without saying a child molester. That mom has a boyfriend instead of a husband implies that she had three kids out of wedlock with three different fathers. She has little education, no job, and low self-esteem. She most likely collects welfare, which the boyfriend, that miserable sponge, spends on booze and dope. He probably beats her. She probably likes it. During the eight years that Olof commuted down from the Bay Area to La Jolla before he was able to relocate here and we married, he quickly discovered that being Mom’s Boyfriend was not exactly a high-class gig. A friend since high school, Olof is a former Air Force pilot, a Cal Tech-educated engineer, and at the time, a corporate vice president. He loved going to my 7-yearold son Henri’s games. So being accosted at the baseball fields and having his presence questioned by an overzealous mom hell bent on protecting the bleachers from T-ball playerstalking pedophiles kind of hurt his feelings. Ironically, if there were an Olympic medal for number of sporting events watched of a child to whom one is not biologically related, Olof would have the gold. Conservatively, he cheered Henri through some 800 baseball, soccer, and basketball games, and arose at 3 a.m. on untold occasions to transport a carload of the collectively comatose to out-of-town crew races. Pressed for his relationship to us, he often introduced himself, quite justifiably, as “Henri’s driver.” For my side, it was never
more clear to me that any residual status I had from 14 years as a doctor’s wife status was DOA when the mother of a friend of Henri’s said she wasn’t comfortable having her son sleep over at our house due to my new “circumstances” (presumably un-wed weekend cohabitation and by association, acts of wanton depravity). I was seriously tempted to reply, “In retrospect, having the Cub Scout den satisfy its science badge in our meth lab was probably a mistake. But that stuff isn’t as easy to make as you think.” Henri, who had frequently played at this child’s
tightly run home, observed at the time, “I think they have dead people under their house.” The overnight embargo officially marked the beginning of Olof’s and my eight-year career as Seedy Boyfriend and Lowlife Slut, as we affectionately dubbed each other in honor of the occasion. The kids, I have to say, did nothing to improve my press. When Henri was in kindergarten, he had been playing on the floor with a guy I briefly dated before Olof, when his hair got caught in the guy’s metal flex watchband. Much wailing ensued until he was ex-
tricated. But imagine my dismay to go to kindergarten parents’ night some months later where the kids’
“Feelings Books” were displayed only to see Henri’s “I feel angry…” page, unfortuitously filled out the day after the incident, and completed with “when my mom’s boyfriend pulls my hair.” Rory didn’t exactly help me out either when his fifth-grade classroom did “Aunt Amelias” – alliterative phrases that they then illustrated, and which were posted in the main office. His contribution? “Paco the Pimp Pestered the Pregnant Prostitutes.” The art work we won’t go into. After eight long years in the sewer of social strata, I was overjoyed to finally
make an honest man out of Olof at our wedding. We almost didn’t know what to do with our newfound status as people who were no longer a threat to the moral integrity of local youth. Stepfather, despite some negative connotations, was a huge promotion over Bottom-Dwelling Boyfriend, Wife a profound upgrade from Sordid Single Mom. But to this day, Henri still feels those people have bodies under their house. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

Teen star Cassadee Pope urges Muirlands students to live life ‘naturally high’ By Pearl Preis After a visit from teen pop star Cassadee Pope, lead singer of Hey Monday, students at Muirlands Middle School pledged to live their lives on a natural high and stay off drugs. Pope came to the school on Oct. 28 for the premiere of the film “Natural High 5.” Three hundred sixth-grade students filled the auditorium for Pope’s appearance and screening of the film, while the rest of the school participated in a simulcast in their classrooms. Pope then greeted all 1,000 students on the athletic field, signed autographs, and encouraged them to take the Natural High Pledge to live a drugfree life. The film is being distributed free to thousands of schools in an effort to reach an estimated 5 million youth with the message. It coincides with a launch of the Natural High Pledge Campaign, which has already encouraged 11,000 students across the country to make the pledge to live

La Jolla Playhouse’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ to have the Des McAnuff ‘touch’ BY DIANA SAENGER Former La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Des McAnuff is at the helm of the “Jesus Christ Superstar” production coming to La Jolla Playhouse Nov. 18-Dec 31. The legendary rock opera, created by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice, first appeared on Broadway in 1971. The show replaces the scheduled premiere of the musical “Finding Neverland,” which was dropped from the season lineup this summer when one of the producing partners, Weinstein Live Entertainment, elected not to go forward with the production at the Playhouse. “Superstar” is loosely based on the last week of Jesus’ life and is newly interpreted under McAnuff’s direction. The show has played at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival’s for the past eight months, which is McAnuff’s new “home,” and to say, “tickets are going fast,” is no cliché. Chilina Kennedy (Mary Magdalene) has a lead role. “The reason this particular production is getting
If you go ■ What: ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ ■ When: Matinees and evenings, Nov. 18-Dec. 31 ■ Where: La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus ■ Tickets: From $58 ■ Box Office: (858) 550-1010 ■ Website: lajollaplayhouse.org rave reviews is because of Des’ vision of bringing it into today’s sensibility with modern choreography and modern dress,” she said. “That’s really helped the show connect to a younger generation. I think they will really like the focus on the love triangle between Jesus, Mary and Judas. I don’t think any other production has taken it to the lengths that Des has. For me, that really stands out.” Kennedy grew up in a
military family and said she knew at a young age she wanted to be a performer. She’s appeared in Stratford’s “Kiss Me, Kate,” “Evita,” “West Side Story,” “Forum,” as well as, “Summer and Smoke,” “Wonderful Town” “Anne of Green Gables,” and others. “But this role is great, and it’s about who I would have a chance to work with — like Des, Rick Fox again (Music Director), Josh Young (Judas Iscariot), Paul Nolan (Jesus) and Brent Carver (Pontius Pilate). How could you say no to that? “I was raised in a household with a strong feminist mother who had a lot of opinions on Mary Magdalene and her role in Jesus’ life, so it was interesting for me to explore that character.” The cast is enormous and principals include Bruce Dow as King Herod, and Mike Nadajewski as Peter. Most of the actors are from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival production, with some new members as well. The iconic songs will still enthrall the audience, but
Chilina Kennedy (Mary Magdalene) and Paul Nolan (Jesus) in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar,’ directed by Des McAnuff at the La Jolla Playhouse. DAVID HOU from the actor’s view, how does a performer make them fresh every night? “That is a challenge,” Kennedy said. “I did ‘Mamma Mia’ on the road for two-and-a-half years. Even in a show like this, that has
been running for eight months, you have to develop techniques to keep things alive. One technique I use is point of focus. An actor can change a point of focus from show to show and it keeps things alive on the in-
side. The audience probably won’t notice this, but as an actor you certainly do.” ***Watch Des McAnuff and Antoni Cimolino discuss the show on Stratford Festival TV’s YouTube channel at http://bit.ly/jcsuperstar

La Jolla artist’s exhibit offers wonder, mystery By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Growing up in Philadelphia, Lauren Carrera said she was always interested in art, but thought of it as a hobby. She took classes in painting, and planned to be a physician. But an inordinate fear of blood made her switch to behavioral medicine. In 1988, she and her husband moved to La Jolla while she worked on a graduate degree. Just short of a Ph.D. in psychology, Carrera said she realized that painting had captured her heart more than psych. She became a visual artist specializing in landscapes, with studios in San Diego and Portland, Oregon. But she had bigger ideas. Two years ago, after a visit to the quirky Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles with its odd dioramas, she decided to create her own fantasy museum. “I loved the great explorers and naturalists of the 19th century who went out and saw the new world and brought back everything they could,” she said. “I wanted to go on an expedition and see the new world of today. I wanted to bring back the wonder and mystery of life and nature.” This leads to her current installation at Liberty Station: “Museo du Profundo Mundo presents Specimens & Renderings from the Carrera Expedition.” Over the past six months, Carrera has turned a once-vacant 4,000-square-foot space into an eight-room Artbox, her homage to the great nat-

ural history collections and collectors she admires. She calls it a “pop-up museum.” It really is an expedition, an adventure into the world of the artist that invites viewers to create their own narratives as they go along.
Every painting, assemblage and diorama tells a story, and the closer you look, the more you see. Check out the closet-sized “Book Drop,” which includes a small white cityscape overlooking a large clutter of books. And “Permanent Collection,” a white-cloth, mad-tea-party table lit by a glowing chandelier of I-V drip-bags. There’s a bunny under glass at each place setting, and each bunny seems to have a story, too. The Expedition includes many bunnies, among the myriad birds, butterflies, goldfish, and assorted lostand-found objects that have made their way into Carrera’s art. And then there are the large-scale pod paintings, inspired by a mysterious piece she once saw in a dark corner of Chicago’s

RE TRENDS
Avoid big mistakes in selling a home The bad surprise Home sellers and buyers sometimes get a bad surprise in the middle of an escrow. Increasingly home appraisals are lower than the sale price. What happens next? If the buyer is buying the home with financing, the lender will loan based on the lower appraised value, not the purchase price. Three things can happen: 1. The seller reduces the price to the appraised amount or 2. The buyer must make up the difference with cash or 3. The sale is canceled. The why Why this trend in lower appraisals? Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC), went into effect on May 1, 2009. Its primary goal is to ensure that real estate appraisers are not coerced in any way into establishing a pre-determined or desired valuation on a property. While HVCC is not a federal law, it does apply to every mortgage on one- to four- family homes from any lender in the country who intends to sell the loan on the secondary market to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In the past, it could be HVCC is intended to set argued that the best deterstandards on solicitation, semination of market value lection, compensation, conis the price established by a flicts of interest, and appraiser willing buyer and a willing independence.

Similarly, the seller has planned what to do with the money, may have put an offer on another property, and is looking forward to the next stage of his or her life. Sellers and buyers can avoid this problem by working with agents who know the market values. La Jolla values are idiosyncratic and often very confusing. It takes an agent who really knows La Jolla in order to establish a realistic listing price for the seller and an offer price for the buyer. When choosing an agent, find out his or her experience in La Jolla. One good sign that an agent is knowledgeable about La Jolla real estate is membership in REBA (La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association). — Contributed by the La Jolla Real Estate Broker’s Association, REBA, www.lajollareba.com. Be sure to ask your agents if they are REBA members.

If you go ■ What: Walk to Cure Diabetes ■ When: 8 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 12 ■ Where: Balboa Park, 6th Avenue and Laurel Street, San Diego ■ Register: www.walk.jdrf.org ■ Contact: Alexis Rodriguez (JDRF), (858) 597-0240 Christian Gimber (back row, center) with Walk to Cure Diabetes supporters from a previous year. COURTESY FROM DIABETES, B1 Accompanied by a brigade of walkers, which even includes peers from his preschool class who have participated in the Walk to Cure Diabetes every year since his diagnosis, Gimber and his posse will have a notable presence at the event. “I think the most important part of fundraising is going to the walk each year and seeing how many people type 1 diabetes affects, and all the support that’s out there,” he said. “Together, all these people make a huge difference to find a cure, and every year we get closer.” Since age 5, Gimber has lived with the “other” kind of diabetes; the lesser-known type 1. Not associated with obesity, poor diet or lack of exercise, as is the more common type 2 diabetes, type 1
is an autoimmune disease affecting the pancreas that is oftentimes (though not always) hereditary. In a constant cycle of checking blood sugar and self-administering insulin, Gimber has learned to adapt to his diabetes. A water polo player and cross-country runner over the years, the disciplined teenager stays active and involved while managing his blood sugar. “I definitely have to be a little more organized and responsible about what I eat, when I eat, just looking at the carbohydrate count on everything I eat and making sure I have enough insulin to cover it,” Gimber said, adding that raising money to find a cure for type 1 diabetes is a top priority for him. “It’s not caused by something people can control,”
■ Donations to Christian Gimber’s efforts: http://bit.ly/ christiangimber he said. “It’s not that you don’t exercise or didn’t eat healthy. It’s a lot of times just out of the blue. Sometimes it can be genetic, but in my case it wasn’t, so it just happens. There’s not really much you can do about preventing it, so that’s why research is such a big deal.” For the Gimber family, this year’s Walk to Cure Diabetes is a sort of passing of the torch, as Christian prepares to finish high school and enter the next phase of his life in college. Still, he recognizes that children and young adults are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes every day. “Although it’s not the majority of diabetes cases, type 1 still affects a lot of people,” Gimber said.
