Community works to protect bike path from development By Pat Sherman embers of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) and La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. (LJP&B) advisory groups are asking city officials to protect a sliver of land used as a bike path from any future development. The deadline to dedicate the strip as open space without cost to the city or normal bureaucratic hurdles is Dec. 31. Nestled behind a residential area spanning from Nautilus Street in WindanSea to south Bird Rock, the Fay Avenue Bike Path has served as a popular respite for runners, cyclists and walkers for decades. Framed by eucalyptus trees, it features sweeping ocean vistas and an array of native flora and fauna.

Lightner nabs second term; Peters ahead in congressional contest Staff Reports District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner was victorious in her bid to retain her seat in the northwestern part of San Diego (which includes most of La Jolla), defeating businessman and philanthropist Ray Ellis by a nearly 10 percent spread. “I always said I would run on my record and that’s what I did,” Lightner said in a statement. “The people of District 1 responded to my message because they know how hard I’ve worked to bring their voices to City Hall. They know I’ve listened to them and worked tirelessly to get San Diego back on track financially, while addressing important neighborhood issues from preserving open space to fixing our streets.” Speaking with the La Jolla Light, Ellis said he phoned SEE ELECTION, A7
UC San Diego to consider reopening Crafts Center By Ashley Mackin After what is now being called a “temporary closure,” UC San Diego’s University Center is looking into reopening the Crafts Center, which closed on Sept. 26. The Crafts Center offered classes in jewelry making, glass blowing and ceramics, among others; hosted annual exhibits and held fundraisers. A student fee funded the Center. Student and faculty response to the surprise closure announcement was swift and dissenting. Petitions in support of reopening the Crafts Center went online at http://bit.ly/craftcenter and signon.org/sign/save-theucsd-crafts. Soon after, UCSD communications officer Christine Clark said the University Center launched a website with the latest information about the situation at crafts.ucsd.edu SEE CRAFTS CENTER, A5

By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Community Center (LJCC) Board of Directors thanked the center’s donors at a Nov. 9 ribbon cutting ceremony where many of its recent renovations, including new tile flooring, an arched copper entryway, glass doors and a decorative tile bench, were formally unveiled. Board CEO Ruth Yansick began by thanking the late philanthropist Florence Riford, who founded the center as a social club for local residents, later deeding the 1950s property to the City of San Diego. Yansick also thanked District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner for obtaining a community development block grant for the renovations, as well as County Supervisor Ron Roberts, who obtained funding for the tile flooring in the entryway, hall and a new classroom. Yansick praised the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla, who she said stepped up “at a crucial point in the development of this building,” as well as Las Patronas, whose funding
helped the center combine two rooms to create a multipurpose classroom. Architect Michael Morton of Marengo-Morton Architects, Pancho Dewhurst of GDC Construction and architect and board member Don Hodges were also recognized for their donations of time and labor. “We just didn’t want to add a front entrance and a lobby,” Yansick said. “We wanted to give excellence.” Yansick reminded those in attendance that the LJCC’s mission is to “promote lifelong learning, wellness, fitness, and health and friendship. “We give a lot of free programs to the citizens here,” she said. “Most people think that everybody in La Jolla is rich. That isn’t the case. … There are many people here who are living on (monthly) social security of $700 to $1,000. They have found their way over here. They have found a purpose by coming here and volunteering.” Yansick said the center still needs $200,000 to $250,000 to complete its bucket list of facility upgrades.

FROM CRAFTS CENTER, A1 “Currently, UC San Diego’s University Center is assessing the scope of work and estimated costs it will take to renovate the Crafts Center,” Clark said. “This task should be completed in November. Once the estimated costs are finalized, the University Center will work toward launching a fund-raising campaign to renovate and open the Crafts Center.” Safety evaluations are being assessed by independent experts ISES Corporation, the UCSD fire marshal and a structural engineer. Their findings will be posted on the Crafts Center site. In the meantime, discussions have been ongoing about other UCSD programs absorbing the classes normally taught at the Crafts Center, including UCSD Recreation Center and UCSD Extension. In the university’s stated breakdown of costs, approximately $594,000 is needed to operate the Crafts Center, which annually generates $377,000 in revenue. The rest is provided

As previously reported in La Jolla Light, registration for the art classes was ongoing when the announcement to close the facility came. It affected some 500 UCSD students, faculty and community members who use the Crafts Center each year. Those registered for classes this quarter will have their tuition refunded. The UCSD press release
explaining the closure stated: “Rising costs have triggered the need for budget reductions in the University Centers (including the Crafts Center), which is funded primarily by the University Centers’ student fee. Decisions about reductions were based on students’ priorities and their usage of University Centers programs, service and facilities. Anticipated expenses related to facility renovations were factored into the decision. A recent facility condition analysis of the Crafts Center identified $1.5 million in needed renovation work.”

and mail-in ballots still to be counted on Nov. 12, Democratic Port Commissioner and La Jollan Scott Peters was maintaining his lead over Republican Congressman Brian Bilbray in the 52nd District congressional race, by about a .8 percent margin. At press time, it was still unclear if remaining provisional ballots might ultimately turn the tide in Bilbray’s favor. Democrats believed they had a strong chance to unseat Bilbray, after redistricting moved his district into unfamiliar inland territory. Peters attempted to paint Bilbray as a tool of far-right elements of the Republican Party, while Bilbray contended Peters is largely to blame for the city of San Diego’s one-time fiscal mess, which occurred while he was a councilman.
Mayor’s Race Democratic Congressman Bob Filner edged out Republican City Councilman Carl DeMaio in the San Diego mayor’s race. Filner had 51.5 percent of the vote, compared to 48.5 for DeMaio, with slightly less than 10,000 votes separating the two candidates out of more than 320,000 cast. Filner addressed his supporters at the Westin Gaslamp Hotel at around 11:30 p.m. Nov. 6, saying, “People in this city have realized, I‘m on their side and the city has to change.” Filner said the same public officials have remained “at the table” for years. He promised that, as mayor, “we’re going to just move you way over here and have new people at the table. … People who look different … the working people from the
Democratic Congressman Bob Filner is San Diego’s next mayor.
city, people who care about the environment, people who care about education, the people who care about our neighborhoods. They have not been at the table.” Across the street at the US Grant hotel on election night, DeMaio told supporters the hallmark of his candidacy had been the “reform agenda.” “Working together we have imposed big change on city hall. You helped us build a council majority that is now committed to pursuing reform. You helped us qualify those initiatives — from our first initiative on fair and open competition to our pension reform initiative that made national headlines in June. … We brought San Diego back from the brink of bankruptcy and we put it on the path of financial recovery.”

Update of the 3.8% Tax on Capital Gains The following information was obtained from the National Association of Realtors to help clarify this new tax. The tax was enacted along with the health care legislation in 2010. The tax will probably be debated during the upcoming tax reform debates in 2013 but for now, here are some of the details. The tax goes into effect in 2013. You would not pay this tax until you file your 2013 Form 1040 return in 2014. The 3.8% will not be collected as an escrow fee when you sell real estate. When you add up all of your income from every possible source and that total is less than $200,000 ($250,000 on a joint tax return) you will not be subject to this 3.8% tax. There is a formula for figuring out taxable gains above this amount and your tax consultant can help you with this figure. Also when you sell a principal residence, you receive the full benefits of a $250,000 (single tax return) and $500,000 (married filing joint tax return) exclusion on the sale of that home. This law was enacted years ago and protects you from capital gains up to these amounts on the sale of your home. This new 3.8% tax also applies to other types of investment income, not just real estate. As always, it is best to consult a tax professional for further information on this new tax law.

ArcLight Cinemas opens 14-screen theater at Westfield UTC mall By Ashley Mackin La Jolla’s Westfield mall at University Towne Center (UTC) is the new home of ArcLight Cinemas, a luxury movie theater with a few amenities not found in many theaters. It is also the first ArcLight theater outside of Los Angeles County, and the fifth overall. ArcLight chose La Jolla as its branch-out location because, “San Diego is a fantastic movie-going market, they see movies at a higher rate than the national average,” said Gretchen McCourt, executive vice president of programming. A partnership with Westfield UTC sealed the location, as Westfield is in the process of renovating and adding new businesses. McCourt said the 14-screen theater would play a variety of films. “Traditionally, there’s been big mega-plexes that show the big blockbuster films and there have been the little art houses,” she said. “We have found a very successful way to merge both of those.” To ensure what she called a “disruption-free viewing environment,” McCourt said there will be no commercials or advertisements before the movies and no printed ads in the hallways.
Above: ArcLight Cinemas is now open at the Westfield UTC Shopping Center. Left: A storyboard with James Bond images promotes ‘Skyfall.’ PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN Instead, patrons will see only movie posters and stills for upcoming and now-playing films. Currently, there is a display of James Bond posters to promote “Skyfall.” This display will change every few weeks. Promotional materials for the movie, “Wreck-It Ralph,” include functioning old video arcade games, such as Pac Man. Future displays include costumes worn in “Anna Karenina.” To further contribute to the distraction-free environment, there is no late seating and seating is reserved by seat number. Those who arrive late may attend another
showing. Also, the popcorn is not served in bags, “to avoid that crinkling noise.” Moviegoers can buy their tickets online, which are $11.75 all day Monday through Thursday and Friday through Saturday before 6 p.m.; and $13.50 Friday through Saturday after 6 p.m., Sundays and holidays. Through a free membership program, members save $1 on each ticket. With the Meyer and Dolby Atmos sound system found in certain screening rooms, the speakers generate sound that complements what is seen on the screen. When helicopters are
coming in from the top left of the screen, only speakers from the top left of the theater project helicopter sounds. As they fly overhead, sound moves across the top of the theater. Other amenities include wider seats, popcorn made with real butter, and a café that includes a full bar and food items sourced from local vendors. There is a 21-and-older lounge that serves alcohol that can be taken into one of three adults-only auditoriums. ArcLight CEO Nora Dashwood said all these little details add up to one big thing: “a great experience of going to the movies.”

Town Council, Planning Association discuss pending issues MEETING UPDATE By Pat Sherman
La Jolla Town Council
n Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival. Committee chair Ann Kerr Bache noted registration for this year’s parade (2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2 down Girard Avenue) is now closed, though some last-minute registrations may be honored on parade day. Though funding for the 2012 event is trickling in, Kerr Bache said $15,000 is still needed if it is to occur. A plea to fellow trustees for their financial support at the meeting garnered $2,500 in cash and financial commitments, Kerr Bach told the La Jolla Light the following day. This year’s event will include more than 70 parade contingents, 65 horses, eight bands, antique tractors, a flyover and five grand marshals, among them Diana and Francois Goedhuys of Girard Gourmet, Athenae-
um Executive Director Erika Torri, and Iraq War veteran and Realtor Charles Hartford. Tax-deductible donations can be made by sending a check, payable to the nonprofit La Jolla Town Council Parade Foundation: 7734 Herschel Ave., Suite F, La Jolla, CA 92037. To make an online donation, visit ljparade.com n Children’s Pool Walkway Beautification Project. La Jolla Parks & Beaches Inc. (LJP&B) treasurer Phyllis Minick asked those in attendance with grant-writing knowhow to help secure funding for the walkway project, which LJP&B hopes will start in spring. However, the community-funded project is still short $240,000. A bronze plaque with donors’ names will be awarded to those giving $35,000 or more, Minick said. LJP&B hopes to have the project done at the same time as the new lifeguard tower is installed at Children’s Pool, to take advantage of city contractors and permits to keep costs at a minimum.
La Jolla Town Council’s latest trustees take the oath of office Nov. 8: Rotarian and DJ Ron Jones, pilot and businessman Ramin Pourteymour, La Jolla Community Center CEO Ruth Yansick, and former San Diego Unified School District Superintendent Thomas Goodman.

Community Planning Association
n MESOM blast. It was announced at the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA’s) Nov.
1 meeting that the board has not received a written response to the letter it sent university, state and city officials about the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Marine Ecosystem Sensing, Observation and Modeling (MESOM) laboratory construction off La Jolla Shores Drive. In the letter, LJCPA trustees vehemently condemned
the project for what they consider its obstruction of coastal views (in contrast to what was presented to community groups via uncertified computer renderings). The letter, dated Oct. 24 and sent principally to Gov. Jerry Brown, said LJCPA “intends to do everything in its power to prevent the disruption and degradation of the protected views along La Jol-
la Shores Drive.” n Home plans rejected. The board voted 8-6 (with President Tony Crisafi abstaining) that a new architectural concept for a proposed residential development at 1456 Nautilus St. was not in substantial conformance with its existing Coastal Development Permit. The previously approved, three-lot project called for a three-level, modern-style home with a flat roof. The replacement project is a twolevel Mediterranean-style home that would be built in a trough and not affect views, architect Bob Belanger said. n Budget priorities. LJCPA discussed its 2014 fiscal year capital improvement budget priorities and voted to forward the following list of transportation and parks and recreation items to the city: Scripps Park restoration; Children’s Pool Walkway Beautification Project, South Coast Boulevard Park improvements, the walkway

Meet Alison Fleming Powered by hugs, head of The Gillispie School strives to lead by example EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second of a 13-part series bringing you interviews with principals of the 13 schools in La Jolla every other week. You can watch a video portion of the interview online at lajollalight.com — just click on “The Principal’s Office” image on our homepage.
By Catherine Ivey Lee lison Fleming was a recent college graduate working in marketing when her former elementary school principal suggested she was a natural educator. “She said, ‘You could teach ice-making to Eskimos,’” Fleming recalled with a laugh. The energetic and curious Fleming decided to try. Twentyseven years, three La Jolla private schools (but no Eskimos) later, Fleming’s education career is still going strong. “I love what I do,” Fleming said. “What a pleasure to have such joy in my day.” No doubt part of that joy comes from the warm reception that Fleming, who is in her fifth year as head of The Gillispie School, receives as she walks around the toddler-age to sixth-grade campus on upper Girard Avenue. On a recent tour, two pre-K students squeal that Fleming must come see their caterpillars. A teacher tells Fleming how excited students are for her to read to them on the following week. And a crying child who has bumped her head walks over for some consolation. “I’m so sorry, Mia,”

■ Video interview with Alison Fleming at lajollalight.com Fleming says as the girl hugs her leg. “Spontaneous hugs!” Fleming says later. “It’s just the best part.” If Fleming is a natural educator, she’s also a local school success story. A native La Jollan, Fleming graduated from The Evans School and The Bishop’s School. After college and a brief stint in marketing, Fleming returned to both alma maters professionally. She first taught at The Evans School for three years (Gale Baer, the school’s then and current director, was the one to encourage Fleming to try teaching).
She then spent 19 years at The Bishop’s School as a college counselor and middle school director. As head of Gillispie, Fleming said she strives to lead by example. She arrives at school between 7:15-7:30 a.m. to get a head start on the day and to be available if teachers need her. Between then and 5:30 p.m., when her day typically ends, Fleming’s days are filled with meetings, yard duties and school tours. Fleming prefers to give prospective families tours herself so that parents can get to know her as they
learn about the school. Among the issues Fleming is overseeing this year are the school’s 60th anniversary celebrations and development of an athletic “Field of Dreams” adjacent to the school. Beyond these, each day brings fresh issues to resolve. Fleming keeps her office door open and strives to handle each concern from students, parents and teachers with integrity, collaboration and openness. “If you have a problem, let’s talk about it,” she said. “We all need to level with each other. We all need to be heard.” Being emotionally “present” for all of her constituents is the hardest part of her job, said Fleming, who unwinds over dinner with her husband, Brock, and son Jake. Another son, Bryce, is away at college. The Gillispie School encourages students and faculty to be life-long learners, and Fleming is no exception. She takes educational articles home, constantly reevaluates school curriculum programs and keeps up with the latest buzz in education. Fleming said she believes it’s important for students to know that their teachers are constantly learning, too. Thanks to the school’s $4.5 million Endowment for Excellence in Teaching, she and other faculty routinely attend professional development courses and “share out” what they’ve learned

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE, A10 with each other, she said. Like many area schools, Fleming said, Gillispie strives to teach its students to be kind, respectful students who contribute to their community and to provide them with an excellent academic foundation. One area in which she believes Gillispie distinguishes itself is in giving students strong communication skills for the future. “I can’t tell you, for example, that they are going to need this type of algebra,” Fleming explained. “But I can tell you they had better be good collaborators and good communicators.” Students hone speaking skills by participating in school assemblies, and, in fourth grade, by holding newscasts with live Q&A sessions. Fleming is particularly excited about a newly adopted writing program called Learning Headquarters. The three-part model involves teachers demonstrating writing skills, teachers and students practicing writing together, and students ultimately writing independently. Students learn the benefits of planning and editing and develop a shared vocabulary around writing. “I’ve got first graders who are talking about narrative hooks in their introductory paragraphs!” she said. Fleming also firmly believes in teaching students that they don’t have to know everything. If she doesn’t know an answer, Fleming is quick to role model how to find it. “You don’t have to have all the answers,” she said. “You just need to know what to do when you get stuck.”

FROM BIKE PATH, A1 The trail, which follows the former San Diego, Pacific Beach & La Jolla Railroad line, was originally set aside by the city for a once-planned southward expansion of Fay Avenue — a project the community has since soundly rejected. Though the land has been “designated” as open space by the city, under such designation the San Diego City Council could still vote to use the land for an alternate purpose, or sell it to a private developer. However, if the contiguous parcels were to become “dedicated” open space, a two-thirds majority public vote would be required to transfer the land for an alternate use. During LJP&B’s October meeting, the organization unanimously approved a motion to support efforts to make the Fay Avenue Bike Path dedicated open space. “Historically, it’s part of who we are,” said LJP&B Board President Patrick Ahern, who uses the path for runs. “It keeps the soul of La Jolla intact.” The idea to dedicate the Fay Avenue Bike Path and

other open space throughout San Diego was born out of a city exercise conducted in the early ’90s, during which city staff created a list of about 16,000 acres it would like dedicated as open space. “Then they realized how much it would cost,” LJCPA Vice President Joe LaCava recalled. “They said, ‘We don’t have the money to do this, let’s just wait.’ ” A bill authored by state Sen. Christine Kehoe in 2007 resulted in the conversion of 6,600 acres on the city’s list from “designated” to “dedicated”
LaCava said the process of dedication would give the land “a much greater level of protection.” However, dedicating land as open space is no easy feat, particularly when adjacent property owners have encroached upon the land, as many have along certain stretches of the Fay Avenue Bike Path. Driveways intersect the path at several points, and the La Jolla Methodist Church has a playground on one portion of the land. If designated, property owners would likely have to vacate their encroachments,
open space. However, city staff removed the Fay Avenue Bike Path from consideration at that time. Kehoe authored similar legislation this year (SB 1169) that would give the city council the ability to dedicate more than 11,000 acres as open space in one fell swoop. The legislation could save the city as much as $2 million in land surveys, engineering costs and staff time normally associated with the process. However, the city council must act before the legislation’s Dec. 31 deadline to take advantage of the cost savings.

or buy the land they are on. “In a ‘designated’ state it gives the city more flexibility about how and when they deal with the encroachments,” LaCava said. “While it’s unfortunate, it does kind of make sense to deal with those encroachments on a caseby-case basis.” The parcels along the bike path are under the auspices of the city’s Real Estate Assets department — which has been less than willing to relinquish its control via a dedication. Responding to the community’s concerns, Lane
MacKenzie, a real estate asset manager with the city, said the bike path was not included for consideration because “staff was tasked with reviewing only those properties that were acquired for open space purposes. “The Fay Avenue Bike Path was originally acquired for street purposes and is still maintained and managed by the Street Division,” he wrote. “All the parcels being considered are to be recorded by Assessor Parcel Number (APN). As the Fay Avenue site is still a dedicated street, it does not have a parcel number, and is identified as right-of-way. To be created as a parcel, Fay Avenue would have to be formally vacated, surveyed and then a parcel can be created.” A private, non-profit group known as San Diego Canyonlands began promoting the citywide open space dedication process last year, and has established a website with maps and details about all the parcels considered for dedication.

www.lajollalight.com FROM BIKE PATH, A14 Canyonlands representatives began visiting community planning groups throughout the city to obtain their buyin for dedicating the parcels. City staff then began to examine the list, deciding whether it could support dedication. The Fay Avenue Bike Path was pulled from consideration, without explanation, LaCava said. “They didn’t really start on that effort until August or September (of 2012),” he said. “Some people were disappointed that we didn’t even have the opportunity to talk about it … to see if we could come to a meeting of the minds. It was just summarily crossed off.” During an Oct. 17 meeting of the City Council’s Land
LA JOLLA LIGHT - november 15, 2012 - Page A15
Use and Housing Committee (LU&H), of which District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner is vice chair, Lightner added the Fay Avenue Bike Path back onto the list and questioned why city staff ignored the recommendation of the planning groups, cutting the list from 11,000 to 6,000 acres. Lightner and fellow committee members agreed to send all 11,000 acres to the full city council for a vote — including Fay Avenue and other parcels suggested by community planning groups. LU&H members further instructed city staff to provide an explanation for why it rejected the parcels. The committee also asked the City Attorney to provide
an opinion on whether bikeways may be located on dedicated lands and what legal issues might arise when property owners have encroachments on land that is dedicated. “It’s a little unclear what’s going to happen; there’s less than four weeks for city staff to do all that work,” LaCava said. “If we don’t get included in this big batch, there’s still an opportunity to come back next year and make the case again and petition the city.” A representative from Lightner’s office said the councilmember will work to obtain a parcel number and ensure that the path is dedicated in the future, most likely when the new mayoral administration is in place.

No such thing as nonpartisan office C all us as outdated as a 1994 political campaign button, but whatever happened to certain elective positions being non-partisan in nature? Elections for national and state offices have always pitted representatives of the Democratic and Republican parties, (and sometimes a third-party candidate,) against each other. But it seems that the “them-vs.-us” partisanship has leaked down to county and municipal elections as well. It used to be you would pick a mayor, city council candidate or county official based on his or her resume. Once elected, the winners would work on important issues with other members of the board, without giving much thought to political party affiliations. Not so much now. An example presented itself on Election Night, as Bob Filner, the

Thank you San Diego: It’s now time to unite San Diego is an amazing city and it is time to come together to put the best interests of our city first. All the votes are still being counted, but as the current tally shows us coming up short, I intend to support Bob Filner as he begins transition efforts. Nevertheless, I want to assure every San Diegan that we shall ensure every vote is counted, and we shall accept the final outcome of this race. I want to thank the tens of thousands of San Diegans who supported me in this election and the thousands of San Diegans who took an active role in our campaign by walking neighborhoods, donating funds, volunteering on phone banks, and organizing events. We have much to celebrate and be proud of. We found a city that was hiding a severe financial crisis and we brought that crisis to public light. We defined a bold “Reform Agenda” to fix the city’s financial problems and hold government accountable to the people. We successfully implemented that “Reform Agenda” to balance the city’s budget and reform the city’s unsustainable pension system. While other cities are declaring bankruptcy and slashing services, San Diego is on the rebound and is now considered a national model thanks to your efforts! While this is an end of a campaign for me, I want to assure you it is not the end of my service to San Diegans. I intend to stay actively engaged in standing up for the interests of San Diego taxpayers. I pledge to help the new mayor and city council in any way I can. We are handing off a city with a solid financial foundation, and it is my hope that the new mayor and city council build on that foundation and stay on the course to full financial and economic recovery for our city.

For county supervisor, Democrat Dave Roberts defeated Republican Steve Danon while the District 1 San Diego City Council race saw Democrat Sherri Lightner defeat Republican Ray Ellis. (Her win assured the Democratic majority on the council.) Several years ago the then-head of the county Republican Party declared “There’s no such thing as a non-partisan election.” Sadly, it’s become more and more the case. As to where this trend may lead, look no further than the U.S. Senate or the state Legislature in Sacramento. In both examples the two political parties have become so entrenched in maintaining their positions of power that there is little hope of any meaningful legislation being passed. It could happen here. Perhaps it has already begun.

Tide against public education has turned
Whale Watch design is just too out there
Voters in San Diego and across the state have spoken loudly and clearly insupport of our public schools. Prop 30 and Prop. Z won because all of our employees throughout our district have proved through hard work and dedication to students that we have schools worth investing in. The positive election results are an indicator that the tide against public education has turned. The state will now have more resources that can be used to stop the hemorrhaging of the past four years. The first good news is that we will NOT have to cut 14 days off this school year, which will help ensure that our students continue to achieve at higher levels. But while we are not suffering immediate further cuts, we must still contend with our current budget that has already been decimated by four years of cuts. We can only do this by continuing to work together. We are San Diego UNIFIED. John Lee Evans President, Board of Education

Scientists study binge-drinking rats to understand addiction
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
A
lcoholism and other addictions led to changes in the brain, such as over-activity of stress-related circuits and a weakening of other circuits that act as a “brake” on emotional reactions and impulsive behaviors. In an effort to understand the sequence of neural events by which these changes come about, researchers at The Scripps Research Institute studied binge-drinking rodents and found signs of cognitive impairment in rats similar to that seen in alcoholics.
The effect was observed in the animals with just a few months of intermittent alcohol access (three days per week). Surprisingly, these impairments did not appear in rats that had 24/7 access to alcohol. Those animals drank moderate amounts every day, and did not escalate their drinking over time. Researchers linked the rats’ impairment to a small group of neurons that inhibit “executive control” functions in the brain’s prefrontal cortex. These neurons were unusually active in the periods between drinking binges — and the more active they were, the more the rats drank when they next had access to alcohol. The finding, if confirmed in human studies, could lead to better treatments, preventive approaches, and diagnostic tests for problem

Insight into high cholesterol and heart disease Atherosclerosis — the hardening of arteries that is a primary cause of cardiovascular disease and death — has long been presumed to be the consequence of complicated interactions between overabundant cholesterol and resulting inflammation in heart and blood vessels. But the relationship is not
exactly what it appears, according to a UCSD School of Medicine study. Within arterial walls are immune system cells called macrophages (Greek for “big eater”) whose function is to consume other cells or matter identified as foreign or dangerous. In the process they consume, metabolize, and eliminate the other cell’s store of cholesterol. But when macrophages fail to properly dispose of excess consumed cholesterol, it accumulates inside them as foamy lipid (fat) droplets. At this point the cells, now identified as “macrophage foam cells,” initiate a cascading effect that ultimately launches an inflammatory response that can lead to heart disease. — Findings appear in the journal Cell.

Beverly Swanson Hill 1933 – 2012
Beverly Hill passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family in the early morning hours of October 30, 2012. Beverly was born on May 25, 1933, in Los Angeles, CA. She was the youngest of five children born to Clarence Warner and Amelia (Hermanson) Swanson of Sioux City, Iowa. In the 1870’s Clarence’s parents immigrated from Sweden and Amelia’s parents immigrated from Norway, all coming to the Midwest. In 1925, Clarence and Amelia moved to sunny California. Beverly grew up in Huntington Park, a suburb of Los Angeles, where her father was a gifted machinist. She graduated
from high school in 1951 and then went on to study music at Santa Barbara State College, which a few years later became UCSB. After two years Beverly transferred to UCLA to study Bacteriology. During this period of time she met and was roommates with people who would become lifelong friends. Through friends, Beverly met David Ware Hill of Pasadena, a recent graduate of the Stanford Business School. After David finished his service with the Marines, he got a job with Los Angeles based Signal Oil & Gas in Maracaibo, Venezuela. They corresponded long distance for a year and then married in December 1957. The wedding took place in the newly constructed Wayfarer’s Chapel in Palos Verdes, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. After honeymooning in Jamaica, the newlyweds settled into a modern apartment in Maracaibo for two years. Beverly worked as a secretary for the local office of Halliburton, then an oil-well cementing company. In 1960 they moved to Alamitos Bay, near Long Beach, and David got a job with United California Bank. There, they had two daughters,
Dana and Elizabeth, and enjoyed sailing and playing beach volleyball. In 1967 David took a new job with the same bank in San Diego and they lived in Point Loma while their house in La Jolla was under construction. Beverly and David raised their girls in La Jolla, and have lived in the same house since 1968, with a few exceptions. In the 1970’s they lived in San Marino for two years and in the 1980’s they rented their house again for a year to cruise aboard their 40-foot motorboat along the Inland Coastal Waterway on the East Coast. Beverly and David spent much of their later years traveling the world and visiting with their daughters’ families. Beverly loved her family dearly, and always looked forward to special family gatherings. She loved watching her five grandchildren, Katherine, Laura, Hunter, Mary and Miles grow up. She was active in the community, played a lot of tennis, and always tried to keep in touch with friends old and new. Beverly was fun loving
and will be missed by all who knew her. Beverly is survived by her husband, David; her brother, Robert of Los Angeles; daughters, Dana Hill Dentz of La Jolla, and Elizabeth Hill Hogan of Santa Barbara; and five grandchildren. Many thanks to Home Docs and San Diego Hospice for doing an outstanding job and providing advice and support to her caregivers and family.

wo young robbers who appear to be in their late teens were caught on a home-surveillance camera as they broke into a home on Palomar Avenue around 2 a.m. Nov. 8. The homeowners, who said they forgot to turn their security alarm on, said the perpetrators returned to the home three times, making off with a television, computers, cell phones and cash.
The perpetrators appear to have entered the property by jumping over a fence through a neighbor’s yard. They smashed a window with a rock to enter the home. “They looked right into the camera, one kid hit the other one in the shoulder and pointed to the camera, and then they continued to break into our house,” said one of the homeowners,
who wished to remain anonymous. Police told the homeowners they were confident the thieves would be caught, based on the quality of the photos captured by the surveillance camera. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to phone San Diego Police at (888) 580-8477. — Staff reports

Vicki Robb earns 2012 REBA Award
V
icki Robb (pictured above left) of the La Jolla Willis Allen office is this year’s recipient of the McNaught-Davis/Knox award given by the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association (REBA). Since 1962, the REBA award committee (consisting of all previous award recipients) reviews the nominations submitted by the REBA membership and selects the one candidate who best exemplifies the principles of personal integrity, cooperation, salesmanship and community activity. “The award is given once a year to the member who best characterizes the Golden Rule, and who follows the Ethics of the Real Estate profession,” said Todd Bloom, award committee chairman, “and who works at a very high professional level, cooperating in every aspect to accomplish a satisfactory transaction for the principal and the buyer. Each year, there are many qualified nominees and Vicki is a great representation of what this award was created for.” REBA was established in 1924 to promote communication and cooperation among Real Estate Brokers and Agents in La Jolla and San Diego.

La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club readies for National Over 40 Hard Court Championships By Michael Ragovin The La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club will host the 40th annual United States Tennis Association (USTA) National Over 40 Hard Court Tennis Championships, Nov. 26-Dec. 2, starting off with singles and doubles on Nov. 26. Tennis spectators are welcome to view the tournament. Admission is free. All matches will be the best two of three sets. The Coman 12-point Tiebreaker will be used at 6-6 throughout the tournament. Father and son, and grandfather and grandson doubles begin Nov. 30. The father and son event has been played at the Beach and Tennis Club since 1959. The grandfather and grandson championship is relatively new. Other categories include men’s and women’s singles, and mixed doubles. The top three entrants in each category will win a cash prize. The popularity of this tournament has attracted former touring pros as well as several very highly ranked southern California players. Several local tennis enthusiasts, mostly from La Jolla, will also be playing in the championships, including: Addison Appleby, John Appleby, Jawad Busharat, Bret Buffington, Jami Jones
A player practices for a 2011 match at La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. (of Del Mar), William Kellog, Edward Rosen and Ryan Rosen. “We are expecting another strong tournament field this year,” said Conan Lorenzo, tennis director at the club. “With players coming in from all across the country, this event offers a great opportunity for entrants to play against great competition.” All tournament play will take place on 14 championship courts at the Beach and Tennis Club, which is one of the top 50 tennis resorts in the country, and established in 1942. The fourth-generation family owned and operated resort is a landmark in the

La Jolla community. It was built on four beautifully manicured acres. The grounds include an 18-hole par three golf course, two swimming pools, four restaurants, one of which is the historic Marine Room, and a 128-room hotel located a stones throw from the waves with panoramic views of the ocean. n Up next: La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club will host the 124th edition of The Pacific Coast Mens’ Doubles Championships in March 2013, and the USTA National Hard Court Championships for Womens’ 50-90 age groups in May 2013.

By Zack Jacobs Rugby is one of the fastest growing youth sports in America and has recently been added to the 2016 Olympics There are 14 Youth Rugby Clubs in San Diego — from Coronado to Poway to Del Mar — and now in La Jolla. La Jolla Youth Rugby is open for online registration at lajollarugby.com with the goal of bringing Rugby to La Jolla, UTC, North Claremont, Sorrento and Pacific Beach. The season is January and February, and is usually completed before baseball, lacrosse, soccer and other spring sports are in full swing. The organization is run entirely by volunteers and sponsor support for the 501(c) 3 non-profit organization is needed. Help with coaching and team/club management is also needed.

Youth Rugby is not the crazy, sometimes violent, sport one sees on TV. It is much more controlled with rules for safety, and a large emphasis is placed of fun, sportsmanship and community. Rugby players are a unique fraternity who compete on the pitch and then bond as friends after the match. No experience is necessary to play. Once players know the game, they take to it very quickly. It takes the parents a few more games to understand the rules, but they understand the energy, fast pace and excitement from the first game. Registration for teams is age-based: • U8 Team (ages 7-8) • U10 Team (ages 8-10) • U12 Team (ages 10-12) • U14 Team (ages 12-14) For more information, call Zack Jacobs at (619) 933-6701 or visit lajollarugby.com

10 QUESTIONS
Andrea Dahlberg puts passion into fundraising for causes close to her heart
Fisheries researchers prepare for move to new digs
Andrea Dahlberg is the sponsor chair of the fall La Jolla Art & Wine Festival. During the past four years, she played an integral role in growing the charitable event, which has raised more than $200,000 for La Jolla public schools. Dahlberg is also involved in fundraising efforts for The Nicholas Conor Institute (TNCI), a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing cures for childhood cancer. A graduate of Muirlands Andrea Dahlberg Middle School, La Jolla High School, University of Michigan and USC business school, Dahlberg has a background in product and marketing management within hardware and software technology. She has also served on various foundations, as well as school site councils for Torrey Pines Elementary and Muirlands Middle schools and the La Jolla Shores Association. What brought you to La Jolla? I had no choice in the matter — I’m a native! My parents, Pat and Dick Dahlberg, moved to La Jolla in the 1960s from Schenectady, New York. My father was recruited away from General Electric to work at General Atomics. My parents built a house in La Jolla and became very active in the community. I can still remember the cows that used to be down by Scripps Elementary/The Children’s School. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I miss all the open space there used to be in La Jolla. It seems as if buildings are going up everywhere, especially in my neck of the woods near UCSD. Who or what inspires you? My kids inspire me. My 8-year old son, Cort, passed away earlier this year and I think daily about how he really lived life. He carved his own path, channeled his strengths, was a cool kid, and brought joy to all. My daughter, Margaux, is incredibly strong, mindful, and is a wonderfully, colorful person. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I’d invite Margaux, Cort, Yoda, John Lennon, Dalai Lama, Abraham Lincoln, Leonardo da Vinci, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Hopefully, my husband Brian would cook up some of his fabulous salmon.

The new SWFSC complex features similarly breathtaking ocean views as its former site across La Jolla Scenic Drive North. The new complex includes energy-saving photovoltaic cells, recycled materials and green roofs planted with California coastal chaparral.
NOAA’s new Southwest Fisheries Science Center facility was constructed into a hairpin turn on the upper east side of La Jolla Scenic Drive North. Crews removed 14,000 dump trucks of dirt while excavating the site. By Pat Sherman esearchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) were leery — if not teary-eyed — at the prospect of vacating the breezy, oceanfront facility their institution has occupied for five decades. However, as SWFSC’s stateof-the-art replacement facility began to take shape across the street, staff grew keen to occupy the new locale. The new building, located directly across La Jolla Scenic Drive North from SWFSC’s current, cliff-hugging complex, was designed to replicate and enhance its existing work environment. “You can see how open and free this building is,” said SWFSC Assistant Director
Southwest Fisheries Science Center Assistant Director Roger Hewitt stands on a balcony of the old facility, perched on a 200-foot bluff on the La Jolla coast.

NOAA marine mammal specialists create hydrophone arrays, which they tow behind research vessels to listen for whale vocalizations. Photos by Pat Sherman Roger Hewitt, standing on a walkway above the interior courtyard of the old, fourbuilding facility, which includes a grove of Eucalyptus trees. “It’s antithetical to an uptight, closed, secure federal building. ... It’s got lots of natural lighting and lots of natural
ventilation. It’s a very nice place to work and it’s conducive to these ad-hoc, spontaneous conversations. “The challenge for the architects,” Hewitt said, “was to recreate this space across the street and still meet all the new standards for federal
security” while working with the steep grade of the 3.3-acre site. While awaiting the move, staff once working in the old buildings are occupying leased space near UC San Diego. The move has been inevitable since El Niño winter of 1997-98, which exacerbated erosion of the 200-foot cliff on which the SWFSC facility was situated. After the move is complete, three of the buildings will be torn down and the land reverted to UCSD ownership. Parking and native vegetation will be added to the site, and at least one coastal lookout established at the southern edge of the property, as mitigation for Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s adjacent Marine Ecosystem

She is also the author of the nursery rhyme ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb.’ True.

The Crab Cake Benedict features jumbo-lump crab cakes, sliced avocado, poached eggs on a toasted English muffin and topped with Hollandaise sauce.
The Awesome French Toast consists of thick slices of Bread & Cie Challah griddled and served with candied walnuts, strawberries and mascarpone honey butter.
By Kelley Carlson ust up the hill from Ellen Browning Scripps Park, and around the corner from the Village of La Jolla’s high-end shops, is a cozy restaurant that feels like home. Attracting locals and tourists alike, Cody’s has a warm, beach cottage atmosphere that is also subtly sophisticated. With a capacity for 85 people, the eatery elicits comfort, inside and outdoors. In the dining room, there’s a fireplace framed by autumn leaves and pumpkins, and wall-length benches are filled with pillows. The sea-green walls prominently display photos of mollusks, shells and starfish, and in the hallway are images of La Jolla shot by General Manager Amanda D’Orazio. An array of pastries on the counter tantalize customers, while directly underneath are racks of wine in six labels — three white, three red. The wooden floor shines from natural, soft light that filters in through the skylight and windows. Music — from ’80s tunes to jazz — fills the air. Bordered by a white picket fence, Cody’s patio wraps around three sides of the lemon chiffon-hued building. Here, guests often unwind with their dogs while gazing out toward the Pacific, shaded by pale greenand-white umbrellas.

Another factor that may add to one’s contentment while dining at Cody’s is the staff. Everyone has worked there for at least six years, with the exception of the owner, Adam Stearns, who took over the establishment six months ago. To fully appreciate Cody’s, Stearns advises patrons sit in one of the ocean-view seats on the patio and let the server provide some recommendations. For breakfast, that may be one of the Benedicts — Traditional Eggs or Crab Cake — or perhaps Stearns’ personal favorite,
From the patio at Cody’s, guests have a view of Ellen Browning Scripps Park and the ocean beyond. Chilaquiles, composed of tortilla chips sautéed in a Mexican tomato sauce over medium eggs and black beans, and topped with queso fresco and crème fraiche. At lunch, suggestions may include the Fish & Chips, with lean cod in a light tempura batter and hand-cut fries made from Kennebec potatoes; and an East Coaststyle Lobster Roll, featuring Maine lobster tossed in garlic aioli that is stuffed in a griddled Challah roll, which is complementary to the seafood and doesn’t overpower the flavor. For children, dishes range from Chocolate Chip Pancakes and “Holla” French Toast with strawberries, to Cheeseburger with fries and hummus with veggies and wheat crackers. To supplement grown-ups’ meals, there are seasonal cocktails, consisting of spritzers served in mason jars. Among the selections are Sparkling White Wine Sangria and the Blackberry Sage Spritzer. In addition, there are local craft beers from Stone, Green Flash, Coronado Brewing Co. and Ballast Point. Although Cody’s is mainly open in the daytime, private parties are occasionally held in the evenings. Stearns said plans are in the works for holiday dinners with prix fixe menus.

MADISON GALLERY
Lori Cozen-Geller presents
ENERGIES
exhibition: november 7 - December 31 opening/artist reception: november 17, 6-9pm MADISON GALLERY is proud to announce the solo exhibition, “Energies”, by LORI COzEN-GELLER the work is precise, edgy, immaculate, and bold in nature; built with automotive paint on laminate, wood, fiberglass, and metals. it gives an in-depth look into the power and movement of masculine and feminine energy forces, and the enormous communicative aura often found in female friendships. With her minimalistic approach, cozen-Geller’s creates an underlying theme of conversing with shapes. an atmosphere is created with the missing components and the various pieces that fit together to become a unified whole. the work speaks to a palette of emotions that is intrinsic to all of humanity, as projected in featured pieces such as: “confide” and “follow the leader”.
“although my art is an expression of my own personal feelings, these emotions are universal to all man-kind. Human beings share the same emotional palette even though each of us has a differing set of life circumstances. the energy of life is the fuel that ignites my passion to express.” -lori cozen-Geller

Socially engaged art at UCSD provides food for thought By Will Bowen â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went from being an artist who makes things to being an artist who makes things happen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeremy Deller Broaden the spectrum of your art appreciation with a visit to the latest exhibit at the University Art Gallery (UAG) at UC San Diego. There, you will have the unparalleled opportunity to view and contemplate some of the best and most significant examples of â&#x20AC;&#x153;socially-engagedâ&#x20AC;? art that has been produced throughout the world since 1991, in a show called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living as Form (The Nomadic Version).â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Border Blasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Cog*nate Collective UAG Curatorial Fellow Michelle Hyun, who worked on the show, defines socially engaged art as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art that is made from the social mediation of social relations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closer to reallife experience than regular art and often has a protest or politic aspect to it.â&#x20AC;? Simply stated, socially engaged art is work that has a social meaning, purpose, or motivation, and is meant to call attention to some facts about society or encourage a change in perspective or behavior. Socially engaged art can be anything from text, poetics, image, performance, theater, film, activity, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Complaints Choirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver .).% 4%. ,* ,IGHT 4HANKSGIVING !D PDF 0or demonstration, etc. Kochta-Kalleinen Photos by Will Bowen
UCSD Art Professor Mariana Wardwell noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Socially-engaged art is inbred by a political-economic condition and it acts to intervene in, displace, and dislocate the political environment where it is produced.â&#x20AC;? Ricardo Dominguez, also a professor of art at UCSD, believes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be effective, socially-engaged art must have a bit of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;toxicityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about it, meaning that it cannot be easily digested, assimilated, or appropriated by the dominant political structures. It must make them a little sick!â&#x20AC;? The UAG show is an abridgement and localization of a much larger exhibition that was curated by Nato Thompson in New York City for Creative Time. Thompson, a social activist and editor of â&#x20AC;&#x153;SociallyEngaged Art from 19912011,â&#x20AC;? collaborated with 25 gallery curators throughout the world to bring together 48 of the best sociallyengaged art projects produced in the last two decades. UAG teamed up with Creative Time and Independent Curators International and hand picked 22 of these 48 projects for UCSD. They then added five commissioned projects from art organizations in the San Diego area.

(They are) parts of an emerging reality where cultural production and politics live in an increasingly integrated relationship ... these projects generate a space for inquiry and ultimately new approaches to social practice.â&#x20AC;? Nato Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivation to build the two shows was his insight, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something historically unique is happening in cultural production that requires different
rules for art than those of the 20th century. This culturally savvy method of civic production has manifested in everyday urban life and growing civil unrest.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living as Form (The Nomadic Version) is an opportunity to cast a wide net and ask: How do we make sense of this work? and in turn, How do we make sense of the world we find ourselves in? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Living as Form (The Nomadic Version)â&#x20AC;&#x2122; will provide a broad look at a vast array of practices that appear with increasing regularity in fields ranging from theater

2) Cog*nate Collective will conduct a series of interventions and engagements at the U.S./ Mexico Border Crossing that will be broadcast to the UAG gallery space. 3) The Periscope Project will design a project that integrates art, architecture, and urban planning issues. 4) There Goes The Neighborhood will host a half-day program based on urban space and neighborhood issues. 5) Torolab will present a project to assist an impoverished neighborhood in Tijuana. In connection with the exhibit, there will also be a series of lectures and films scheduled over the next few months. It must be remembered that the works in the show are not traditional art objects per se, but rather descriptions of art practices and projects. Reading the
background and accompanying texts is necessary to understand what the projects are all about. Max Carnig, an undergraduate UCSD Visual Arts major who works in the gallery, suggested, “You can approach the show by way of a brief visit and get an overview of what it’s all about, but a patron should spend a couple of hours engaged with the projects, watching the accompanying videos, listening to the audios, or reading the provided textual materials.” Joshua Chan, an undergraduate Earth Science major, who also works in the gallery and helped hang the show, added, “People have come in and expressed disappointment that they were not seeing objects of art hung on the walls. But I think that the way the show was installed ... how it was hung ... is artistic in itself, and is worth contemplating.”

The best neighbor in the world
Let Inga tell you ...
I
t’s a good thing we adore our next door neighbor, Bert, because for all practical purposes, he and Olof and I live together. Sixty-five years ago, an obviously inebriated architect chose to ignore the collective 19,000 square feet of our two lots and build two houses a mere 10 feet from each other. Worse, the houses are oriented so that rather than being parallel, our houses face right into each other. I’m trying to
even imagine how any of this worked before 1955 when a six foot fence and a Japanese privet hedge were installed that created at least the illusion of any privacy. Fortunately for us, the neighbors who have inhabited this house, have, bar one, been wonderful — a PSA pilot and his white go-go-booted flight attendant wife, then for 25 years a lovely spinster school teacher who was either hard of hearing or driven to defensive deafness by the 150-decibel activities of our kids directly under her TV room window. The next folks (see “bar one,” above) turned out to be drum-playing house flippers. (I keep thinking that if I just changed the first letters of that phrase I could make it sound really
obscene). There was nothing they liked better than having the family over on a Sunday afternoon and playing drums for seven straight homicide-inducing hours. They might as well have been playing in our living room, as among the many stupid things they did in their brief (but still overstayed) tenure was remove all the sound-blocking foliage between our two homes, and also put in master bedroom windows on the side of the house facing us. There was a good reason no windows were put in on that side originally. Suddenly there was no conversation in that bedroom, never mind other activities, that we were not fully, completely, and occasionally vomitously privy to.
When they flipped the house to the hunky, wonderful, single Bert, he wasn’t initially aware of the lack of auditory privacy between his bedroom and our home. But we were ultimately able to subtly, if unorthodoxly, communicate this to him. (I even won a Press Club award for that column!) Our houses are truly in such close proximity that in the summer when everyone’s windows are open, if Bert sneezes, we say “Gesundheit.” I always know when the Yankees are on, and on a play-by-play basis, how they’re doing. Being a hunky (I really can’t emphasize this enough) 6’4” athletic guy, we often get strange sound effects from the other side of the fence, the origin of
which provide Olof and me with many hours of cheerful conjecture in our otherwise dull and boring lives. One Sunday morning as we read the paper out on the patio, we could hear the sound mere feet away of something (someone?) being horrifically beaten. Hopefully not his lovely girlfriend, Diane? Should we be taking notes for our subsequent interviews on Dateline? “Well, Lester, we first suspected that Diane was buried under the house after…” Turns out it was just Bert working out with a golf impact bag. More recently, we were eating dinner when we were seriously alarmed to hear Bert desperately gasping for air. We looked at each other.
Olof: New workout regimen? Inga: Accidentally hung himself with the phone cord? Fortunately, the answer was a). No wonder Bert is so hunk-, er, fit! When all of the power went out in Southern California last September, I chatted with Bert through the fence as he cooked on his grill (he prefers fish) and I sat out in the moonlight with my glass of wine. Last fall, the 1955 hedge and fence between our houses precipitously died/ fell down obliterating any privacy between our homes for a month. I sat at my desk in my nightgown answering e-mail and watching Bert watch sports recaps in his living room

A ground lease on the new site was gained through a land-swap with UC San Diego, which granted NOAA the deed for the old site in the 1960s. A fresh start The new, five-story facility, built into La Jolla Scenic Drive’s hairpin turn, is approximately 287,000 square feet, with about 90,000 square feet of interior and adjacent parking. Its lower level is mainly comprised of labs, from a necropsy room where researchers can perform autopsies to determine why a dolphin or seal died, to about 60 experimental aquariums, where the populations of everything from sea bass to abalone can be monitored under a variety of conditions. “It just depends on what we’ve got an interest in, and what we’ve got money to pursue,” Hewitt said. The data can be used to determine how much fish can be harvested without depleting a population.
LA JOLLA LIGHT - november 15, 2012 - Page B11
A first-floor specimen storage room contains samples dating back to the 1930s, including large amounts of ichthyoplankton (fish eggs and larvae), which helps with population estimates. “What we try to do is tease out the affects of the environment versus fishing on population changes,” Hewitt said. A two-story Ocean Technology Development Tank holding 2 million liters of water is used to test the latest ocean research methodologies, or can be used to monitor a school of fish and other marine life. Both the experimental tanks and the two-story tank systems feature ozone and ultraviolet water treatment systems, protein fractionators and sand filters. “The water is really well conditioned as it flows through here,” Hewitt said. A frozen tissue storage room on the top floor is kept at minus-80 degrees. It contains all the samples used in genetic experiments. “Some of it’s involved in legal battles, so we have to make sure that it’s backed up and secure,” Hewitt said. “The problem out here in
New SWFSC building features ■ E xperimental aquariums, an animal necropsy lab, specimen processing lab, photogrammetry lab, genetic labs, physiology labs, oceanographic labs, specimen archives, a library, conference rooms, green roofs, office space for 275 scientists and support staff, and a two-story tank for testing new research methods. ■ Online: swfsc.noaa.gov California is (when) somebody’s shot a sea lion … we have to keep it in case it comes up as evidence.” Conference rooms are named after fish species studied at SWFSC, such as sardine, krill and the Adélie penguin. Office space is cooled by natural ventilation. Narrow building wings allow natural light and air currents to flow through both sides. Other energy-efficiency elements include solar panels, recycled materials and rooftop landscaping to keep the building cool. NOAA is expecting to achieve LEED Gold certification on the project. An observation platform jutting out from the top
floor known as “The Bow” was added by architects as a bonus. “We picture our director up here assembling the troops,” Hewitt said, noting that staff are considering mounting a pair of high-powered sea expedition binoculars to the deck, with a coin box. The new facility’s top
level is flush with the upper portion of La Jolla Scenic Drive, so that when passersby drive into the turn, the view plane is preserved, Hewitt said. “On the backside it’s five stories down, but you don’t notice it,” he said. “Unlike the MESOM building, we went to great lengths to make sure that we didn’t (block) the view.” The new SWFSC facility was constructed through funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Hewitt said NOAA estimates the project infused $80 million into the local economy. “The old building lasted us 50 years,” he said. “We expect this one to go twice as long.” The La Jolla campus, one of six regional NOAA
Fisheries Service facilities, is home to the majority of the Fisheries Resources Division, staff from NOAA’s National Satellite and Information Center, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission and California Department of Fish and Game. SWFSC researchers provide the government with advice on how to manage the Marine Mammal Protection Act, Endangered Species Act and the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act, as well as solutions to overfishing and options to aid the recovery of threatened or endangered species, such as the gray whale. “We’re the science side,” Hewitt said. “Sometimes they listen to our advice, sometimes they don’t.”

La Jolla’s art femme fatales style seductive show By Will Bowen n case you didn’t know, La Jolla has about 20 femme fatales. Their leader is Judy Judy Judy, an artist and the proprietor of a popular hair salon in La Jolla Village. Judy and her crew can most often be found in their favorite haunts — the Barbarella and the Piatti restaurants in La Jolla Shores — where they ply their wiles and plan their escapades. On Oct. 27, Judy and her gang hosted a reception for the exhibit “Femme Fatales,” which celebrated the virtues of Femme Fatalism at the La Jolla Art Association gallery. According to Judy, the idea for the show came to her when she was in Paris attending the hairstyle and fashion show, Le Mondial de Coiffure de Beaute. “I wanted to do a solo show of paintings about femme fatales, but then all my friends wanted to be in the show, too, so I let them. It all started with my painting I call ‘Lady Danger,’ and it is in this show with four others I did for the series,” Judy said. “‘Femme Fatales’ is all about intrigue and danger. Femme fatales are women who use seduction to attract men and then lead

them into compromising situations in order to achieve hidden aims. Their tools are beauty, charm, and sexual attractiveness. Am I one? Well, maybe …” Beverly diGregorio is a femme fatale with two paintings in the show. She is a member of the Point Loma Art Association, San Diego Art Institute and the Water Color Society. “This was the first time I showed my nudes anywhere in public. There just are not many opportunities to show nudes in San Diego. Frankly, there are not many art shows that have women as their subject. That’s what made this show so special,” diGregorio said. “Thirty years ago I was a flaming femme fatale. I think they have been instrumental throughout history. I am fascinated by the strength and delicateness of woman, especially as personified by the ballerina. That is why I paint them so often.” Terry Soppe is another femme fatale with work in the show. When she’s not acting as the treasurer of the LJAA, she is a bookkeeper for her husband, Dr. Glen Soppe, a family physician in private practice.

www.lajollalight.com FROM FEMME FATALES, B12 “This show was a way to celebrate women in a different way — as strong, intriguing, interesting, and full of life. You know women are the force behind the scene. They make everything happen. They are the planners and the organizers; they keep it all together,” Soppe laughed. Her husband, Dr. Glen, said the only way he’s able to keep his wife’s femme fatalism in check is, “I keep her painting all the time — that keeps her out of trouble!” Emily Vermillion is a femme fatale with three mixed-media pieces in the show. Their inspiration, according to Vermillion, is that, “life is full of stories and little pieces, like a collage. We fall apart and then we put ourselves back together again over and over again.” Vermillion said femme fatalism has to do with seduction. “I am a subtle seductress, but not in a mean way. My art seduces your eye and interest — it enchants you and draws you in. Each piece I make tells a story of love and relationship. Love is not perfect, but it is seductive. Love seduces women. All women are interested in love.” Femme fatale Ingrid Wolters had the only abstract work in the show; an allusion to female anatomy. “I like to play with color and shapes,” Wolters said. “When I was younger I was quite a femme fatale. I was a big flirt. Men, you have to be careful of us women because we can be fatal to your system!” Yanna Shayne, another femme fatale, works in sales and marketing when she is not working on her stained-glass art, which she calls, “The greatest art form and my
Beverly diGregorio and ballerina imagery passion!” She has two works in the show. Phebe Burnham, who at 92 is the oldest fatale in the group, submitted a painting of an older woman with a rifle called “Granny Oakley,” and other of a young woman in Tijuana called, “Tijuana Tourist.” “I grew up in New England and was very inhibited. It took me a while to open up. I think that you should live life how it feels good to you, but try not to affect others negatively. I like to make people laugh because life has become so serious nowadays.” Ken Wilkins — who is not a femme fatale, but said he likes being surrounded by them — added one very special work to the exhibit. “I’m happy to be in this show,” he said, “because it’s new and different and pushes the edge.”

Turkey tips in time for the Thanksgiving feast without touching the bone. When the temperature reaches 180 degrees, the bird is done. Also the stuffing temperature should reach 165 degrees to indicate doneness.
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman “My wife dresses to kill. She cooks the same way.” — Henny Youngman hanksgiving is, hands down, the holiday when both seasoned and rookie cooks create unprecedented (and quite humorous) gustatory gaffes. Here’s some humdingers that’ll provide both teachable culinary moments along with a few chuckles. Gobble, gobble!
T
All thawed out The Thanksgiving bird must be completely defrosted before it enters the oven. If a frozen bird is roasted, you can expect to start carving it by Christmas Day. The neophyte doesn’t

realize that an unstuffed bird takes 20 minutes per pound, and a stuffed one 30 minutes per pound — once it is unthawed! Cook’s tip: Best way to defrost the holiday bird is in the refrigerator, breast side up in the original wrapping, allowing 24 hours for each 4 pounds. A turkey weighing 15 pounds would take about 4 days to un-thaw. Well done It’s a slippery slope cooking turkey just right like Baby Bear’s porridge. The bird must be cooked through to avoid
salmonella, while if overcooked, it resembles the texture of a pigskin football. A meat thermometer is an ideal way to check for doneness, however, many folks have had the misfortune of improperly using the thermometer with the results of having it snap in half with the red fluid (colored alcohol) leaking into the meat. Although the old thermometers contained highly toxic mercury, you still don’t want a foreign substance in your food. So stick it to the bird with caution in the thickest part of the thigh

Cavity fillings Popcorn belongs in a movie theater not in a turkey’s cavity. Other cavity no-nos: raw oysters, eggs and wild rice. Standing advice? Raw in, raw out, so sauté or par cook grains, potatoes, sausages and other perishables to avoid food kooties and broken teeth. And please, don’t forget to remove the plastic giblet bag from the cavity before roasting. Relish the thought Super tart cranberries require a large amount of sweetener to counter the lip-puckering sourness. But when one novice cook mistakenly used salt instead of sugar, dinner guests had a sodium shock. Monster mash Many things can go awry with mashed potatoes, a
Drunken Cranberry Relish A-Go-Go ■ Ingredients: 6 cups fresh cranberries 1/2 cup golden raisins 2 oranges, zest grated and sectioned 2 lemons, zest grated and sectioned (I prefer Meyers) 1 Bartlett pear, peeled, diced 2 cups brown sugar (adjust to taste) 1 tablespoon of candied ginger, chopped 1 3/4 cups water 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier ■ Method: In a large saucepan combine sugar, ginger, liquor and water, reserving a quarter cup. Stir and bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved. Add the citrus, raisins and 3 cups of cranberries and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the remaining cranberries, water, pear and nuts, and simmer for 10 minutes. Refrigerate and serve in a martini glass or brandy snifter. quintessential fave at Thanksgiving tables. While russets are the best candidates creating the fluffiest, creamiest mashed spuds, some folks use redskins or Yukon Golds, making them grainy and chunky. Another common culinary faux pas occurs when the potatoes are whipped up in
a blender or food processor yielding edible Epoxy. Burn, baby, burn Barbecue gurus are obsessed with doing the turkey in a deep-fryer. If you must, take the whole mess outside. — For more recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit FreeRangeClub.com

La Jolla resident and budding photographer Hannah Atwater, 12, won second place in the Cricket Magazine League photography contest. Her photo at right, “Wildfire,” captures a fire that occurred over the summer. For the contest, each entrant was asked to submit an original photograph with a summer theme. “Hannah’s photo is striking and its title very significantly (and unfortunately) represents one of the most memorable series of events of summer 2012. Smoke is visible in the photo, in addition to the clouds and sun,” said Julie Peterson of the Cricket League. Each issue of Cricket Magazine includes the results from the writing or art contests for youth, which Cricket holds. Hundreds of entries are submitted each time, and winners receive recognition and prizes. To view more photos, visit cricketmagkids.com/contests

Korean sculptor Jaehyo Lee returns to nature at Madison Gallery By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Jaehyo Lee is a soft-spoken Korean man who lives in an artists’ community about an hour outside big-city Seoul. He uses slabs of wood from trees native to his country — larch, chestnut, and big-cone pine — to create strikingly beautiful pieces that express his love of nature. At his Madison Gallery opening Oct. 27, he spoke through his agent-translator, Steven Choi, to say he likes to use common materials like nails, twigs, and resin — things people live with and never respect — and twist them into uncommon things. Strongly grounded in Oriental culture, where silence is valued, he intends his work to inspire a feeling of peaceful harmony among viewers. “Emotionally, I really respond to his pieces,” said Madison Gallery owner Lorna York, who was introduced to Lee’s work by a Connecticut architect and quickly became his California representative. She cited a favorite quote from the artist — in translation, of course: “I certainly do not have the power to make the world beautiful. I just hope to make those things that are seen beautiful.” Lee’s work will be on display in the gallery’s back salon through November at Madison Gallery, 1020 Prospect St., Suite 120, La Jolla.

A rebuilt fence restored some privacy to us both but until the new hedge grows up, I now stare into Bert’s shower from my kitchen window. Bert is 6’4” and hunky (sorry, I know I said that already) and my husband, Olof, accuses me of topping off the new hedge every time it threatens to obliterate the view. A base canard, of course. Bert recently told me through the fence that he
had cut back the hedge because the new motion lights outside his window seemed to be going off and on all night. OK by me! If you’re going to live in this kind of proximity to a neighbor, it helps that they’re the best neighbor in the world. When we were out of the country for two years on a work contract a few years ago, Bert saved our landscaping and aviary birds more times than we could count when the people who were supposed
to do it didn’t. We’re destined to be friends forever if for no other reason than we have waaaaay too much on each other at this point. The only thing that worries me is wondering what HIS version of this column would be.

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment. To make a contribution, please go to lajollacommunityfoundation.org and click on GET INVOLVED. Become a member today!
