BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com La Jolla merchants are seeing more spending this year than in the immediate past, restaurant bookings are up and vacancies are down. “I see the La Jolla retail marketplace rallying and improving and the availability of quality retail space continues to diminish — vacancies are dropping,” said Phil Wise, a commercial Realtor with Collier’s International who specializes in the Village. “The vacancy rate for retail is under 6 percent in all of La Jolla. And a large majority of that 6 percent is among the 30,000 square feet in Wall Street plaza, the former Jack’s building.” Terry Underwood, general manager of the Grande Colonial Hotel at 910 Prospect St. with it

La Jollans mourn Dale Naegle’s death BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com High-profile La Jolla Shores architect Dale Naegle, who mentored many of his contemporaries while remaining active in community planning, succumbed to cancer at age 83 on Nov. 14. Services are being planned for after Thanksgiving. Characterizing Naegle as “one of the great architects in this town,” longtime friend Fritz Liebhardt said, “He was a man of vision with insight. He could see how architecture would affect the whole community.” Dale Naegle His work, he added, was “understated, subtle and very beautiful and functional.” Among his most notable local architectural works are the Sam Bell Residence & Beach House, Coastwalk La SEE NAEGLE, A6

Police caution: Identity thefts are on the rise in La Jolla BY KATHY DAY kday@lajollalight.com If you’ve been watching La Jolla crime alerts lately, you may have noticed a spike in fraud, residential break-ins and car burglaries. Alan Alvarez, the community relations office for San Diego Police Northern Division, last week provided details on more than a dozen recent cases, noting that the increases have been reported citywide. And with the holidays, there’s a likelihood the numbers will continue to climb unless people pay more attention to safety tips police

offer year-round, he added. If they don’t pay attention, they may end up victims of identity theft. Alvarez is the officer who makes the rounds at Bird Rock Community Council, La Jolla Shores and Town Council meetings, as he says, “preaching” about being smart with your belong-
ings and surroundings. Nearly every fraud case he detailed involved reports that individuals’ credit cards had been used to obtain cash or to make purchases — but not by the authorized cardholder. And way too many of the break-ins involved unlocked car doors or open windows, he added. Two late October incidents on Via Alicante involved neighboring homes where thieves entered through unlocked windows and took laptops and other computer gear

Kudos this week goes to Cody’s La Jolla restaurant at 8030 Girard Ave. for its outside décor, which includes green and yellow patio table umbrellas, colorful planters designed by Magpie Cacti and succulent, framed outdoor wall hangings. But if you see the umbrellas missing and the doors closed, fear not, for the establishment will be closed only temporarily — from Nov. 29 to Dec. 29 for its annual refurbishment, said general manager Amanda D’ Orazio.

The ultimate glider: Pelicans fascinate as they drift past Looking like fighter planes flying in formation, brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) fascinate bystanders as they glide By Kelly Stewart along the coast, riding updrafts and air currents. Even with a wingspan of over 6 feet and an 8-pound body, these birds are extremely maneuverable. Pelicans nest offshore in colonies on the Channel Islands each year from January through October, with peak nesting occurring in March or April. Plumage is striking in the breeding season, with the end of the bill and part of the pouch turning bright red, the eyes becoming light blue rather than yellowy-white, and a white stripe developing along the length of their necks. Nests are made of sticks, and are constructed on the ground or in short shrubs, sometimes in trees. Usually they have three eggs, which both parents incubate. Amazingly, pelicans incubate eggs using their webbed feet rather than their feathers, so in effect, they stand on the eggs. This was a serious problem for pelicans in the late 1960s, when pesticide residues

like DDT leached into the environment, contaminating fish. This affected many bird species by thinning the eggshells, making them very fragile. When pelicans then tried to incubate their eggs, the eggs cracked or broke. Due to very low reproductive output and declines in numbers, pelicans were placed on the federal endangered species list in 1970 but were delisted in 2009 (in California) after experiencing a remarkable comeback, once DDT was banned. Pelican chicks hatch without feathers and look like prehistoric creatures. They remain in or near the nest being fed by the parents for several weeks until they begin to fly (fledge) at about 13 weeks of age. Gliding along on air currents until they spot their prey (anchovies and sardines mainly), pelicans can quickly take up the head-first plunge position and dive straight down from up to 60 feet in the air. They immediately scoop fish and water into their pouch (the pouch can hold up to 2 gallons of water), tilt their head back to drain the water from the sides of their bill and then swallow the fish whole. Often a group of pelicans will target a big bait ball and several of the birds will keep diving together until they’ve had their fill. Pelicans may live to be 40 years old. — Kelly Stewart, Ph.D. is a postdoc with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center. Contact her at NaturalLaJolla@gmail.com.

Conquer the Cuts paying for clerk, librarian, more By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com For parents and anyone else wondering how the La Jolla High School Foundation is spending the money raised during last spring’s Conquer the Cuts campaign, just ask principal Dana Shelburne. “The fund has allowed us to save at least one, and more than likely, two teachers,” he said. In all, the five-week fundraising drive netted $154,000, according to an update he and Foundation President Sandy Coggan Erickson shared with PTA members last week. With the school district facing the prospect of even more cuts in the spring and next fall, local schools are turning more to fundraising to protect programs and teachers. In the high school’s case, the Foundation funds have allowed Shelburne to spend what he called the “X-factor” money from the district on people that he might not have been able to pay otherwise. “Where do you cut … Clearly it would have a negative impact on the school,” he said. Erickson, who noted that the Foundation also contributes in other ways, from purchasing equipment to paying an athletic trainer. (See accompanying box.) To date, here’s how the Conquer the Cuts money has been used: n The first request was for $29,00 to restore a financial clerk to fulltime and increase the librarian from two to three days per week so the library is open every school day. n Then came a request for $20,000 to pay the school’s American Sign Language teacher for two periods per day. The teacher, according to the report, is part of a World Languages course added this year “to enable students to have an additional option to meet their language requirement.” n They also used a portion to “purchase an additional counselor position for two days a week, and have requested she be assigned here four days a week. The cost for those four days, benefits included, will be approximately $72,000, given the average cost for a full-time counselor is $90,000 per year.” Erickson said the administration is hanging onto the balance of the Conquer the Cuts funds to make sure that the actual costs they’ve committed to are fully covered. The fundraising drive last spring was a “one-time effort to alleviate pressure this

From Naegle, a1 Jolla (‘70s), Colony Hill (1967), Lawrence Welk Village in Escondido, Tenaya and Tioga halls at UCSD and the Windemere development in the ‘70s. Architect Mark Steele, one of those Naegle mentored, praised his work for its “human” quality. “He always loved the idea of shopkeepers having a retail store and residence above, very Old World, and he built and lived in one,” he said, adding Naegle’s personality “went into his buildings.” Joe LaCava, past president of La Jolla Community Planning Association, said, “I was honored to have known him and been able to work with him. He was one of the very special things about La Jolla. It’s a great loss. He will be greatly missed.” Ione Stiegler, also a La Jolla architect, said Naegle had risen high in the ranks — and regards — of his peers. “He was tremendously active in the architectural community,” she said. “He was a fellow in the American Institute of
Architects, one of the highest personal honors that can be bestowed on an architect.” Steele said his lifelong association with Naegle went beyond work. “I dearly loved the guy — he changed my life, I met my wife there (working with him),” he said. “When it was time to go on my own, he helped me get started.” Steele related his favorite story about Naegle. “He was really an accomplished musician, a piano and trombone player with a Dixieland group,” he said. “He put an ad in an architectural journal to recruit a replacement for the band and the ad said, ‘Oh, by the way, five years experience as an architect required.’ “ La Jolla architect Laura DuCharme Conboy, whose first job in San Diego was working for Naegle, recalled another story: She said when she ran into him awhile back, “he teased me, calling me a dinosaur because I still do drafting by hand when he was using the latest technology. I was admiring his ability to learn at his age.”

First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who worked with him in the community well before she was elected, said, “Many people may not know that Dale conceived of the idea for Laureate Park on Avenida de la Playa as a way to recognize all Sam Bell residence & Beach House drew attention to Naegle. the Nobel Laureates from La Jolla. “One of my fondest memories of Dale was getting to work with him on the plans for the park. I was so impressed with Dale’s resourcefulness when he was able to track down organizers from the Nobel Laureate committee to get permission to use the official logo in the park designs.” Lightner has been working with the Park and Recreation Department and Paul Kennerson to complete the plans for the park. “I’m saddened that Dale won’t be here to enjoy the fruits of his labor, but I know how pleased he would be to see his design for the park brought to life,” she said. According to the website www.modernsandiego.com, Naegle graduated “from USC’s architecture program in 1954. The website said Naeggle attended night classes during the week working for a variety of architects during the day. Naegle grew up in Van Nuys and in Santa Barbara, and spent 15 years as a musician in dance bands through WWII, traveling around Southern California during the war playing for soldiers with the USO, the website says. Naegle was a familiar site in La Jolla at community planning meetings, which he attended regularly despite having polio and using crutches. “Dale was an exceptional fellow who overcame his handicaps,” said Liebhardt. “He never complained or mentioned it.” “He always refused to have a handicap sticker on his car,” said Steele. “He would refuse to park in a handicap space.”

From Holiday, a1 NINE-TEN restaurant, said bookings for November and December are “up substantially from a year ago, the restaurant continues to do very well and the holiday looks particularly good in terms of its pace for parties the first two weeks of December. And for the new kid on the block, Eddie V’s steak and seafood restaurant, business has exceeded expectations, a good sign moving into the holidays. General manager Ron Fabor said they expect their good fortune to continue as they fill spots for private parties and diners plan for guests and holiday outings, although the restaurant will be closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas days. “We’re booking private parties all the way through the second week of January,” he added. And In La Jolla Shores, Barbarella Restaurant and Bar — known for its seasonal decorations — has recently shifted from Halloween to Christmas mode. Manager Alex Fatoohi said they are getting ready for lots of private parties, work function and family events. He’s encouraged by early signs of the season. “People are spending,” he said. While some still worry about how long it will take to restore La Jolla’s polish, members of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association are hopeful that the first steps of their five-year plan to brighten the business district with new rooftop lighting will attract shoppers.

This year the parade, which begins at 2 p.m. on Dec. 4, at Girard Avenue and Kline Street, will include 117 entrants including 10 bands, six beauty queens/princesses, nine equestrians, two canine units, three fire engines, 10 floats, 21 marching units, 18 miscellaneous vehicles, 16 VIP vehicles, 12 VIPs and 10 youth marshals. Youth marshals this year and their schools are: Brielle Brennan and Kiki Hamon, All Hallows Academy; Cavan Walsh, Bird Rock Elementary; Chris Halter and Mary McNeil, The Bishop’s School; Allison Rhodes, La Jolla Country Day School; Victor Dufour and Anais Farion, San Diego French-American School; Grace Conlin, Stella Marris Academy; and Si Young Kim, Torrey Pines Elementary. Donations continue to flow in but more still are needed. “The community has continued to contribute to the parade and we are slowly approaching the $12,000
(shortfall), but we still need as much help as they can give us,” said parade spokeswoman Pat Wells. The Dec. 4 event, with all its attendant costs including police protection and permitting, totals about
$45,000 to stage each year, said Ann Kerr Bache, parade chair for La Jolla Town Council, which hosts the event. Parade line-ups will be posted soon on the website www.ljparade.com.

Leon Chow, who recently joined forces with David Hinkel of Blue Abyss Photo to create C&H Photo at 7720 Fay Ave., says he’s seen slow improvement in business. “We ended our summer on a really high note,” he said. The same holds true for Brian Miller, owner of eight Geppeto’s toy stores, including the one at 7850 Girard Ave. “I think it will be a good season — we’ve had a little bit of an (business) uptick over previous years — but I don’t know if it’s going to be the best (holiday season) in five years like some are predicting,” he said.
Even the early November rain hasn’t dampened the optimism of Debbie Newell, who bought Adelaide’s Florists and Decorators a year ago. She hosted the store’s annual open house on Nov. 6 as the rain came down, but it “didn’t stop the festivities and it was a wonderful success … This for us is our biggest season by far as we do home decorating, and we’re already in full swing for Thanksgiving and beyond.” Another shop that attracts holiday shoppers is Patina Gift Store at 957 Turquoise St. Paul Holz, who owns the shop with his wife Barbara, said business is “improving significantly, at least in our baliwick. ... We just had our holiday open house and it was the best one we’ve ever had in 15 years of business.” And, he added, shoppers “are buying heavily already.”

Getting Into – Not Bent Out of Shape It is ironic that many exercisers in weight rooms may leave their workouts less healthy than when they arrived. The fact is that weight-room injuries have increased by 50% since 1990. The largest increase in this type of injury has occurred in people aged 45 years and older. Clearly, precautions must be taken to eliminate injuries among wellintentioned individuals seeking to increase their fitness. When lifting weights, good technique is one of the most important ways to avoid injury. The physical therapists at Ability Rehab can help you get started safely and determine appropriate goals for your weight-training program. We will design a customized plan based on your age, physical condition and existing biomechanical deficits or areas of weakness. Our comprehensive programs include: orthopedics & sports medicine, pre & post operative rehab, neurological therapy, and balance & fall prevention. Call us today to schedule an evaluation! P.S. Do not hold your breath while lifting weights or working on resistance machines - doing so can cause fainting or a spike in blood pressure. Exhale during the lift, and inhale when lowering.

LJ couple’s story one among Komen walkers’ many By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Joe Koors and Penny Shipley were among several thousand people who passed through La Jolla Friday on a 60-mile, three-day trek from Del Mar to downtown San Diego in the annual Susan G. Komen Walk For the Cure against breast cancer raising $9.2 million. Their story was particularly poignant as it involved a personal close call with the dreaded disease. “On Cinco de Mayo 2010, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through the whole process — chemotherapy, losing my hair, etc. — and I realized just how many people are actually affected by this disease,” said Shipley, noting one in eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer during her life. During her year-plus ordeal, Koors said Shipley made 97 trips to the hospital for everything from surgery, to tests to treatment. In a recent phone interview, she acknowledged that number, noting she was one of the lucky ones. “I lived in La Jolla and was going to Scripps Hospital,” she said. “A lot of people had to come from as far away as El Centro, and it was a day-long adventure for them to come here for one treatment.” Koors and Shipley are both Realtors with Coldwell Banker in La Jolla and business partners, as well as being partners in life. They partnered to get her through breast cancer treatment, and then again afterwards this year in conjunction with Verdes El Ranchero Restau-
rant at 7404 La Jolla Blvd. where Koors works part-time, to raise money for the battle against cancer. “Since summer we sold $2 pink margaritas and all the money went to the cause, 60 local businesses joined in, and we raised $5,000 with a big auction and raffle on a recent weekend night,” said Koors, who promised to dye his hair pink if they met their $10,000 fundraising goal. By the time the walk started, they had raised $12,000. “I dyed my hair completely pink, not just tinged,” Koors said. Shipley said money raised by the Komen event will be used for equipment and scientific research. But just as important, it will be used to promote cancer awareness. “Every woman needs to go to the doctor and have a checkup; you just never know,” she said. “I was a super healthy person — I never imagined it would be me.” Koors said he felt good about participating in the Komen movement. He said people banding together to support a good cause, that’s what helps everybody get through tough times. “It’s positive energy, good spirit,” he noted. “You need to have a good attitude.” Fighting for a cancer cure isn’t just about the victims, but about their loved ones too. “People forget how hard it is on the other person, like Joe, who had to go through all this with me losing my hair, wondering if I was going to live,” said Shipley. “That’s why he and I are involved, so no one else ever has to go through that.”

Interact, Rotary take tools to Tijuana
A
forecast of rain didn’t get in the way of the La Jolla High Interact and members of La Jolla Rotary as they set out to build the 15th Project Mercy home in Tijuana on Nov. 12. But it may have made them move a little faster. Interact and Rotary raise funds to cover the cost of the simple, one-bedroom homes for a Mexican family with four children and then spend the day putting the project together, generally in a day or two. This year, though, they got as far as getting the roof beams in before the rains came. Neighbors and the family completed the work over the next two days.

International students get a taste of Thanksgiving Area families reach out to share traditions
Shelly taskin of UCSD’s International Center, celebrates thanksgiving with her family. this year two students from other countries will join them. PHOTO cOurTesy Of ucsD
By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com For years families have invited servicemen and women into their homes for the holidays. This year, many are playing host to international students from UCSD. For the first time, the university is reaching out to their many students from other nations to show how Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. As of press time, about 30 families have volunteered to host nearly 70 students. The families, many of which have ties to UCSD, are from many communities.
Among them are Pati and Jeff Brady, who are planning to add six students to their already large gathering, Jeff Brady said. With family, including their four children who range from 9 to 17 years old, and friends, he said, “adding a few more is not a problem.” Pati, who is a family practitioner at UCSD and is Brazilian, received an e-mail sent by campus officials inviting volunteer hosts to raise their hands, with the idea that it would be a good way to introduce the students to American Thanksgiving. As of last week, the students who have accepted their invitation are from Korea, Japan and China. They were awaiting RSVPs from three others. At their Poway home, they’ll serve a traditional holiday repast, with a twist of turkey cooked on the grill. “I’ve had good luck doing that and it frees up the oven for other things,” said Jeff, who works at home on data for cellular phones for a Texas-based company. Lucy and Steve Eskeland of Del Mar will also share their traditional feast with four students. The first to respond are from Taiwan and Sri Lanka, said Lucy, who was an international student herself. She used to work on campus as a post-graduation researcher and now writes science books for children; her husband is a dentist whose office is on Regents Park Row near the east side of the UCSD campus. Their gathering will be a more intimate one, Lucy said, with just the couple, their son and the visiting students. “We have hosted students in the past,” she added, but as part of another program. Shelly Taskin, program coordinator for UCSD’s International Center, said in a press release the program “is a wonderful opportunity for both international students and host family members to learn more about each other’s cultures and foster new friendships.” The campus, which had nearly 1,200 new international students go through orientation in the fall, is among the top 4 percent of American universities hosting students from other countries. Currently there are nearly 2,000 students and 2,220 scholars from almost 90 countries on campus. “These students help broaden the diversity of the campus, but they also bring funds to the university in tough economic times,” said Lynn Anderson, dean of International Education at UCSD. The UCSD website estimates Californians who attend UCSD should budget about $30,00 for fees, books, room and board and other living expenses. On top of that, international students pay another $22,878 in tuition.

Be thankful this holiday season; share your blessings As we welcome the start of holiday season with Thanksgiving this week, we stop to recognize the blessings that we have. While some say thanks for their faith, others for their health or their jobs, it’s likely all of us give thanks that we live and work in a community that many call Paradise. Sure, there are some parts of La
Jolla that need fixing — our streets and sidewalks, traffic, not enough money for our schools. Despite that, we do have a lot to remember this holiday season: great people who care about their community, philanthropists and volunteers who go out of their way to make life better for those less fortunate, and business owners and merchants who want to
succeed. So we have a suggestion: Let’s share our blessings and help those businesses that depend on our patronage to keep their doors open. Sure, it’s easy to shop online through those big retailers with the Black Friday deals. But it doesn’t do much for our local folks, many who we’ve seen struggling through the
past few years. It’s not time yet for making New Year resolutions, so let’s just make one big holiday resolution: Think and shop La Jolla first. Be thankful that we have the variety of businesses we have and, with our support, maybe they’ll grow locally and attract more of the kinds of shops we’d love to see.

CommunitY Leader’s view
input on redevelopment is key By tony crisafi President, La Jolla Community Planning Association The partial description on the University Heights website for a presentation of history of individual property rights state that “land-use restrictions must advance a public purpose, be fairly and reasonably applied, and leave property owners with economically viable use of their land.” According to city policy 600-24, the community planning groups are charged with implementing land use policy vis-à-vis the city’s General Plan, the local Community Plan and specific land use plan. In La Jolla, 27 members of the community volunteer, in total, hundreds of hours every month on project review at the joint committees publicmeeting level. This is where the bulk of project review work begins and sometimes ends. As neighborhoods transition continuously with redevelop-
ment, several have recently or soon will be faced with the extinction of single-story CC&Rs, homeowner association reviews and other private restrictions. As this occurs, the burden and responsibility of project review will shift further onto the community review process. Some of that responsibility shift will be subtle; other parts less so. As an example, in a single-story Shores neighborhood, the minimum building coverage equals a 0.6 maximum floor area ratio (FAR), yet no longer so as one-story restrictions extinguish. Theoretically 0.6 becomes 1.2 yet no application has come close to proposing 1.2 FAR in the single-family zone. However with redevelopment trending upward, I am thankful for the efforts of these community volunteers; wish to acknowledge the difficulty they face in balancing public and private property rights through this process, and also the long-term value they provide as a result of their decisionmaking.
it’s time to make tax dollars help grow jobs, not red tape By Kevin l. faulconer Council President Pro Tem Our tax dollars must be used to support our neighborhoods, businesses and local jobs, not block the way to progress with unnecessary red tape. Here is an example. You may have noticed the restrooms on one of our local beaches have been closed for over two years, replaced with unsightly portapotties on the sand. Why has it taken the city so long to fix a facility used by countless residents and tourists. It’s not due to budget cuts, environmental regulations or neighborhood controversy. It’s because the city contracting department stumbled through three construction bidding rounds — once rejecting a bid because it was not properly submitted in a three-ring binder. I’ve been a leader in the campaign to bring “regulatory relief” to City Hall. The Ocean Beach restroom project illustrates what happens when red tape gets in the way: regulations overrule common sense, jobs are put on hold and San Diegans’ time is wasted. My goal is for businesses to spend less time navigating city bureaucracy so they can focus on running a successful business, strengthening our
local economy and hiring more San Diegans. I promoted a recent regulatory relief workshop around the question, “How can City Hall help a business create a job?” Dozens shared red tape horror stories and recommendations to improve city customer service, including: eliminating annual permits for home businesses; creating a “starter kit” for new businesses and contract bidders; clarifying regulations to avoid different interpretations by different bureaucrats; and expanding online permitting. The workshop is just the beginning. I will be releasing an action plan to reform the most burdensome city business regulations that are needlessly hurting San Diego’s economic recovery — and the jobs that come with it. So what about the Ocean Beach restrooms? A local construction company was ultimately selected and the restrooms are scheduled to open in time for the summer. As for the city contracting department, I asked for a full performance audit of their operations and there is currently an opportunity for new management at the department.

a christmas to remember By Patricia WeBer La Jollan since 1953
Many thanks to the spirited committee that made Christmas in the mid-60s a time to remember. Let’s look back to when La Jolla became alive during the Christmas season. The west block of Girard was closed to traffic and a mini-wrought iron Eiffel Tower structure (lighted at night) spanned the entire intersection of Silverado where groups of carolers sang songs of the season. Everywhere, painted windows told the story of Christmas. Many of the side streets participated to the fullest. Bells on doors jingled as they opened. Music filled every block. Costumes were encouraged to the delight of photographers. Some banks sold holiday fruitcake and one market served free hot cider. Restaurants and shops stayed open late. Holiday menus included gingerbread and anise cookies. Plain to see for blocks, the Village Christmas tree stood by the old library at the corner of Girard and Wall. It was impossible to escape the exhilaration of the season. The experience filled the shoppers with unparalleled piece and goodwill. A feeling of kinship prevailed. The Village came alive. It is now 50 years later. What will we expect for 2011. It is rumored that spectacular lighting is planned, which will be a welcome addition. What we need, however, is to fill the streets with PEOPLE. Here are some ideas: n Every market could have a sale item that competes with mall prices; n Restaurants offer holiday specials; n Parking garages may offer free service on special days; n Banks could give out free pencils to children; n Music should be everywhere; n A holiday merry-go-round in one of the parking lots would bring kids, parents and grandparents together. Let’s go for it, La Jolla. Give the Village heartbeat. Make the 2011 season another Christmas to remember.

Signing the Red Ribbon pledge
New class of antimalarial compounds uncovered
Research Report By LynnE FRIEDMAnn
Sydney Leona and Melanie Lock, hosts for La Jolla High School’s Red Ribbon Week, encourage students to sign the pledge to stay away from drugs. After they signed they got a ribbon. The week is designed to bring awareness to the growing problem of drug use among high schoolers. It began after Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena of Calexico, who had been working undercover in Mexico, was kidnapped, tortured and killed in 1985 by leaders of Mexican drug cartel members.

UCSD symposium focuses on interdisciplinary research By CHRIS PALMER Over the past 50 years, UCSD has developed several world-class academic departments. According to deans of three of those departments who spoke at Thursday’s Founder’s Symposium, the next 50 years will see the boundaries between individual departments dissolve as interdisciplinary collaborations become the engines of innovation in fields such as medicine, energy and information technology. Three days of activities kicked off Thursday at the Medical Education and Telemedicine Learning Building with a symposium entitled “Flash Forward from 50: A Sneak Preview of UC San Diego’s New Directions in Research and Discovery.” During his introduction to the panel, symposium moderator Suresh Subramani, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, highlighted recent collaborative efforts by UCSD faculty, including: n Oceanographers working with biochemists to work on drug discovery, n Researchers in medicine, the environment and international relations working to minimize the debilitating impact of coal-burning soot on the health of the populace of third-world nations, and n A stem cell partnership that draws on experts from many fields from UCSD, Scripps Research Institute and the Salk Institute. While praising these efforts, Subramani called for further implementation of interdisciplinary research, saying, “we must constantly reinvent ourselves to stay at the forefront.” Subramani went on to state that the university will hire 130 faculty members within the next three years, and that new faculty with strong backgrounds in collaborative research will account for 30 percent of the appointments.
Dean Steve A. Kay of the Division of Biological Sciences, Dean Mark Thiemens of the Division of Physical Sciences, Dean Peter Cowhey of the School of International Relations and Pacific Studies and Associate Vice Chancellor of Research George Tynan provided details after Chancellor Marye Anne Fox’s opening remarks. Kay talked of the need to move into the “sequencing era” of the 21st century by leading in three areas of biology: systems biology, where “genes are studied not one at a time but 100,000 at a time”; synthetic biology, where biological life is designed and built from the ground up; and quantitative biology, in which biology “transitions from a descriptive science to a predictive science with tools borrowed from mathematicians.” Thiemens also looked to the future, describing the benefits of a convergence of physics, engineering and biology. One approach he touched on was applying what we know about quantum mechanics to the study of molecular structures. Cowhey discussed the role of design in facilitating interdisciplinary efforts. “We want to use a different perspective on design to look at problems in a new, unexpected way with a data intensive approach.” Cowhey cited a handful of UC San Diego studies of social issues that have benefitted from unintuitive initiatives driven by digging into available data such as a drop in early pregnancy resulting from paying families in Africa to keep girls in school and reducing election fraud by 50% by monitoring elections with mobile phones. Tynan told the audience that “a profound revolution is needed” to meet the world’s energy demands, which will double in the next 50 years. He lauded the university’s innovations in the fields of sustainable liquid fuels, artificial photosynthesis and nuclear fusion.
An international team led by the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation and The Scripps Research Institute has discovered a family of chemical compounds that could lead to new antimalarial drugs. When a malaria-infected mosquito bites a person, the Plasmodium parasite enters the human body where it begins a complicated life cycle: first infecting liver cells, then entering red blood cells where it grows and multiplies eventually releasing toxins that cause illness and in severe cases death. Most antimalarial drugs are only effective during the parasite’s
blood stage, and those that work in the liver have notable side effects. In the new study, researchers screened thousands of candidate compounds known to act against malaria parasites in the blood. Of these, 15 percent looked like they might also work in the liver. Researchers then identified the strongest drug-development candidates by mining the data for groups of related compounds that showed liver activity. This led to a cluster shown to be active in both the blood and liver stages of the parasite. These compounds have the additional advantage of being chemically unrelated to current antimalarial drugs, and therefore less likely to face existing drug resistance. Findings appear in Science Express. News release at http://bit.ly/udJy7Q. Disease linked to wind currents Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a
serious childhood disease often mistaken for an inconsequential viral infection. Tragically, if not diagnosed or treated in time, KD can lead to irreversible heart damage. In surprising findings, an international team of scientists suggest that KD cases are linked to large-scale wind currents that track from Asia to Japan and also traverse the North Pacific. Because of seasonality of the disease in many regions (including San Diego), an international team including researchers from the UCSD School of Medicine, Rady Children’s Hospital, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, investigated a set of atmospheric and oceanographic measures, which revealed a link to pressure patterns and associated wind flow during the months prior to major KD epidemics in Japan in 1979, 1982, and 1986. n For more Research Report, go to lajollalight.com
OBITUARIES John Hadwen Struthers 1918 – 2011
John passed peacefully at age 93 in the presence of his daughter, Mary. He was born to George and Mary Barney Struthers and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was one of three siblings along with sisters, Jean (who predeceased him) and Polly. John earned the rank of Eagle in the Boy Scouts of America. He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering in 1941 and moved to San Diego shortly thereafter to work for Consolidated Aerospace (which eventually became General Dynamics). He helped design some of the famous airplanes used to win World War II, working in the Low Speed Wind Tunnel. He served as Manager of that facility for many years before his retirement in 1982. John was a long time member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, serving for two years as Chairman of the Subsonic Aerodynamics Testing Association.
John married Elizabeth (Betty) Ravenscroft in 1947. They had two wonderful children, Mary, and her brother, John, Jr. (1952 1983). Betty passed away in 2001. John then lived with Mary who took care of him. John loved to spend time with the family and friends at their vacation cabin in Julian. John and his family were long time members of the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club where he played regularly with the Kellogg’s gang. Tennis was a big part of his and Betty’s life. Betty taught tennis at Bishop’s School for a number of years, and was a mentor for Maureen “Little Mo” Connolly in the early years of her remarkable career. John was an avid reader. He loved to learn about history, read fiction and study health. He and Betty enjoyed playing bridge regularly with their friends. He also enjoyed walking in the neighborhood with his dogs, Donna and Lovey. John was a member of La Jolla Presbyterian Church where he served as a Deacon. He loved to attend weekly services. He is survived by daughter, Mary, and her
husband, John Latchem; granddaughter, Amy Asher; step-grandsons, John and Scott Latchem; sister, Polly Thompson; several cousins; and a number of nieces and nephews. John will always be remembered for his beaming smile and his helpful, loving nature. He lives in our hearts. Memorial services will be held December 10, 2011, at 1:30pm at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Donations to UPLIFT and San Diego Military Outreach Ministries in John’s honor are requested in lieu of flowers. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Dr. Ismaj’s specialty: ‘Teeth-in-a-day’ implants
Dr. Israel Ismaj has returned to La Jolla, bringing along a procedure he said local residents will find nowhere else: Teeth in a day. “In one single office, we place as many implants as we need to replace all your missing teeth, and at the same time, you get temporary teeth screwed into those implants on the same appointment. Nobody in La Jolla does it, nobody,” said Ismaj, who has practiced dentistry since 1972 after being educated in the UCLA dental program. Dr. Israel A dental implant is a small, Ismaj titanium post surgically placed in a person’s upper or lower jawbone acting as a substitute or replacement tooth root until a dental prosthesis is applied at the end of the implant process. Ismaj said his one-day procedure is a distinct improvement over traditional implant methods. “In the old days you had to wait months

before you could get implants to replace missing teeth,” he said, noting the wait was four months to get implants and another four months for those implants to heal, 8 months to a year’s time. Nowadays, Ismaj said, by X-rays and other scanning methods, “we’re able to identify where the existing bone is, so we place the implant right there and we fabricate temporary teeth on the same day.” Ismaj said the cost of the dental implant procedure he specializes in and has performed on more than 300 patients, varies with the number of teeth involved and the complexity of the procedure. He confers with clients and, after X-raying their teeth, he says he can tell them whether they qualify for the “teeth-in-a-day” procedure. Ismaj does only “teeth-in-a-day” procedures offering complimentary consultation and X-rays by appointment. Call (858) 459-3100 or visit www.drismaj. com. The office is at 7334 Girard Ave., Ste. 204.

From TheFTs, A1 In another case on Camino del Oro, a man left his key in the wheel well of his car and went surfing. When he returned, he told police, he didn’t notice anything amiss until he went to buy food on the way home and discovered his wallet was missing. Not only the wallet — but also the $400 in cash, his credit cards AND his Social Security card, Alvarez said. That’s a perfect set-up for identity theft to be the next step on the thief’s list. The San Diego-based Privacy Rights Clearinghouse website reports that “every day most of us give away information about ourselves — sometimes knowingly and other times when we do not even realize it.” One of those ways, said Alvarez, is through credit card solicitations that come in the mail. “Shred them,” he said, so it makes it harder for a criminal to get a credit card in your name that you don’t know about. Another is through scammers that hack into online purchase information and steal personal data. The clearinghouse cautions: “If you are an Internet user, do not send sensitive information (phone number, password, address, credit card number, SSN) by chat lines, e-mail,

Crime report
• Lock your doors and windows when you leave, even if it’s only for a few minutes. • Don’t put empty boxes out after unwrapping gifts. Break them down and put them in dark trash bags or take them to the dump. • Mark all new gifts with your driver’s license or ID number. • If you are leaving for an extended time, stop your mail and newspaper delivery. • Don’t click on links in e-mails that claim they want to verify your credit card number. — Source: San Diego Police Department Northern Division

instant messages, forum postings, or in your online profile. Assume your messages are not private unless encrypted.” A special holiday greeting from Northern Division Capt. Brian Ahearn, acting Lt. Steve Shaw and Alvarez makes another suggestion: Use a virtual account number. They point to services offered by many credit card companies that “generate a random credit card number that makes it virtually impossible for anyone to steal your account number while shopping online.” It’s only good for a short period of time, even though it’s charged to your real account. Be sure to check details on this, because these numbers can’t be used for ID when
picking up purchases. You can also opt for a limited amount “cash card” that is not connected to your bank account, Alvarez said. Another option is to make all online purchases on one credit card so it’s easier to watch as charges come in. That reduces the risk not only of identity theft but also of having your cash stolen. “Don’t carry large amounts of cash,” Alvarez said. And, if by the luck of the draw, you do have a break-in or strange charges on your accounts, report it to the police regardless of the size of the loss. Getting information helps police key in on trends and enables them to target specific areas for increased patrol if there is a rash of crimes in a neighborhood.

Bishop’s comes up short in final By Rick LeBeau The Bishop’s School, seeded No. 2 in the Division III playoffs, took on top seed Coronado in the CIF Finals Saturday night at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex on campus at La Jolla High. Both teams were coming off 13-12 wins in the semifinals two nights earlier — Coronado topped La Jolla High while the Bishop’s beat Cathedral Catholic. Following their sudden-death overtime victory against the Dons on Thursday night, coach Jim Fales’ Knights were primed for another hard-fought match against the rival Islanders. They didn’t disappoint the throngs of fans, as they gave the assembled partisans another nail-biter, losing in sudden death, 9-8. From the outset, both teams pressed hard on defense, with the goalie play being vital to Bishop’s success. Caleb Schultz made two outstanding saves in the first minute, then another on a subsequent Coronado possession, as he continually came up big, as the Islanders peppered the goal with blistering shot attempts. Halfway through the opening period, Tommy Higginson finally broke the ice for the Knights with a shot from the perimeter. Next time down the pool, the Knights got a goal from Stephen

Tifft out of 2-meters, and Richard Daly scored with 12 seconds left in the quarter to put Bishop’s up 3-0. The Knights suffocating defense, combined with Schultz stellar play in goal, kept Coronado off the scoreboard until almost the final minute of the half. Tommy Grall finally scored first for the Islanders with 1:11 to go in the second quarter, then got another with 36 seconds remaining. Just as the buzzer was sounding, Coronado’s Garrett Eyer poured in the third goal in 71 seconds, tying the game at the half. Richard Daly got the Knights the lead again 90 seconds into the third quarter, but the Islanders answered with an Eitan Peled goal, coming off of a foul outside 5 meters. Viktor Wrobel once again gave the Knights the

lead with a minute to go in the quarter. Two minutes into the fourth quarter, Sean Barlow put Bishop’s up by two goals at 6-4. Peled then scored twice for Coronado to knot the game again with just under 3 minutes to play in regulation. The pace was fast and furious after that, but neither team was able to get the winner before the buzzer sounded. After two overtime periods, the score was deadlocked at 8-8. For the second time in two games, the Knights went to sudden-death overtime to decide the contest. It was Grall who again came up big for the Islanders, hitting the key shot in sudden death from the perimeter that just beat Schultz to the upper corner for the game-winner.

Proudly continuing the long tradition of a camera store in La Jolla, C&H Photo is the essence of “your neighborhood store.” Former partner with Nelson Photo, owner Leon Chow and long-time friend David Hinkel, an awardwinning underwater photographer, have teamed up to become the C and H in C&H Photo. With the same helpful staff of more than five years — almost 200 years of combined service experience — it is the place to get accurate knowledge in the world of photography, and recently, the decades of change from film to digital. They sell and service all major name brands like Canon, Nikon, Leica, Fuji and Panasonic. Although you can buy cameras anywhere, only here can you get great advice, practical instruction and attend a myriad of different classes to sharpen your photographic skills, all under one roof. Their adage is “to make better photographers. The rest will take of care of itself.” And the proof is in the print. C & H Photo has a complete in-house photofinishing lab, capable of prints, digital conversion / prints and video, and an impressive list of other services. They proudly mention that they have often done the work for many award winners. Also visit their “gallery.” Monthly, in their gallery space facing Fay Ave, C&H Photo displays the work of a selected “artist” — a customer — to show off their accomplishments. When you learn to do something well, it is nice to be able to share it with others, just a little bit. if you haven’t had a chance to visit C&H Photo yet, do so this holiday season. They are at 7720 Fay Ave. and their phone number is (858) 7296565. They are open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. As always, the holidays are a special time for photography. Visit their website, www.candhphoto.com, and look for their upcoming special event days and promotions.

learn aboUt sCUlptra at sk sanCtUary’s event SK Sanctuary will host a “Sculptra Event” from 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 30 where they will share information about Sculptra Aesthetic and offer special pricing on treatments. Described as “ant-aging for the modern age,” Sculptra is “not an overnight miracle,” said Stephen M. Krant, M.D., F.A.C.S. ”But it is longlasting and the first facial injectable that gives you subtle results over time,” he added. Made from ply-L-lactic acid, it works by replacing lost collagen, correcting wrinkles and folds, and giving a more natural-looking appearance. A full treatment requires an average of three injections over a few months and can last at least two years. It even adapts to the changes of the aging face. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served at the free event. Space is limited so RSVP is required at info@sk-clinic.com or by calling (858) 454-3161. Stop by and chat with Dr. Stephen M. Krant and Dr. John G. Apostolides Winner of the La Jolla Light’s Best Spa category, SK Sanctuary is at 6919 La Jolla Blvd. Visit www.sk-sanctuary. com to learn more.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - NOVEMBER 23, 2011 - Page B9
Keen on Village life, Sandra Munson is a mom and volunteer This Southern California native has been calling La Jolla home since 2001. Sandra Munson and her husband, Mike, are the parents of Julia (a sixth-grader at Muirlands), and Jack (a third-grader at La Jolla Elementary). She was born in Los Angeles, received her degree in statistics from UC Santa Barbara, and has never lived more than three miles sandra Munson from the Pacific Ocean. Munson’s career path has taken her from actuary to home organizer to author to marketer, with more than a few meanderings in between. Most days she can be found somewhere between home, the schools and work — often times walking through the Village with her two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in tow. She has a passion for volunteering and is involved at La Jolla Elementary and La Jolla Community Church. Lately, she said, it seems her volunteer efforts involve cameras, paintbrushes and glue guns, but she can navigate an excel spreadsheet as needed. In her free time, Munson enjoys painting, Pilates, and spending time at WindanSea Beach with friends and family.
What brought you to La Jolla? After receiving his M.B.A., my husband got a job in San Diego. To clarify, he was looking to move to Chicago, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle — somewhere with a bustling financial district and that white stuff on the ground. Being a SoCal native, I strongly encouraged him to narrow the search to, err, San Diego. To be fair, I extended our search radius as far north as Santa Barbara. What makes this area special to you? It’s the comfort that everything is within walking distance! Living in the Village, I can get the kids to school, the grocery store, work, shopping, and even the doctor’s office within a four-block radius. I love liv-
10 questions ing in La Jolla and savoring our little speck of the globe. If you see me zipping around in my car, please feel free to wag a finger at me (unless I’m hauling groceries from Vons). What might you add or improve in the area? The Village could use a Trader Joe’s and a Target. If I didn’t need to go to either of these destinations, I just may never leave! While I’m making requests, I would love to see the return of the neighborhood movie theater on Girard. What inspires you? I’m inspired by individuals who walk to the beat of a different drummer; people who push themselves to
their limits and excel in their fields; creative, unique artisans who have changed the way we look at their medium. To be fair, I’m also terribly impressed by those who can work, parent, cook and exercise with consistency, patience and dedication, day in and day out — because that is not easy! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? First and foremost humor columnist Inga, to dispel any scandalous rumors that I am she. She would sit at one end of the table and I at the other, wearing matching oversized sunglasses of course, and we would work together to solve the prob-
lems of the world. I would invite Jesus to teach us how to love one another, John Lennon to add a musical element, Wolfgang Puck to plan the menu, Annie Lennox to photograph the event, Matt Lauer to document the event so he could broadcast the message at 7 a.m. the next day on The Today Show, and Bono to put together a concert to fundraise for our effort. I’d also invite Krisjanis, a Latvian friend who left this life too soon. He and Inga are both northern European, so I’m sure they would be able to converse in some language! What is your mostprized possession? Just one? My glue gun. My collection of photo books.

Valentien Restaurant sets itself apart by focusing on California cuisine not only inspired by its majestic setting, but by offering a menu that changes daily based on what’s in season and which ingredients are acquired from local farms and fisherman. The restaurant takes its name from Albert Valentien, an early-1900s California artist from the Arts and Crafts Movement who is known for painting 1,000 native wildflowers for Ellen Browning Scripps’ private library in La Jolla. In fact, another highlight of the restaurant is the display of works by Valentien and memorabilia from his estate. In addition to its relaxing, lodge ambiance, the restaurant’s indoor-and-outdoor seating areas overlook the 18th hole of Torrey Pines Golf Course. An adjoining bar and lounge also includes a cozy fireplace. Executive Chef Jeff Jackson and Chef de Cuisine Tim Kolanko said they take a “farm-to-table” approach to cooking while showing their passion for fresh ingredients prepared by classical and traditional methods. “We work with 10 to 12 different local farms to procure our ingredients,” Jackson said. In addition to fresh daily produce deliveries, the chefs make regular trips to Chino Farm in Rancho Santa Fe and Point Loma Farms. “(The farmer) will literally be picking it off the beds, washing it, and sending me off with it — that’s about as farm-to-table you can get — without growing it out here on the golf course,” Kolanko said.

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. This week:
Burrata with Speck, Fuyu Persimmon, Arugula and 25-year Aged Balsamic. To undertake a daily changing menu, Jackson gives a lot of credit to his kitchen staff. “We have a group of cooks who have been with us for a long time and who are very passionate with what they do. Most other restaurants don’t have the capability of doing menu changes day in and day out.” The chefs at A.R. Valentien adjust the accompaniments, vegetables and sauces based on each day’s fresh ingredients, while popular items like Liberty Duck Breast and Confit Leg, Niman Ranch Ribeye Steak, Oak Fire Roasted Pork Loin, Roasted Free-Range Chicken, and local seafood can be found throughout the year. Among the more popular dishes is Roasted Liberty Duck Breast and Confit Leg, served with Anson Mills faro, pomegranate and hazelnuts. “One of the things that make this dish unique is we
■ A.R. Valentien’s Porcini Chestnut Soup have a great relationship with a farmer in Sonoma who raises these ducks — we get whole ducks shipped twice a week directly from the farm,” Kolanko said. Liberty Ducks are regarded for their flavor and quality from being raised free of antibiotics and hormones and fed a diet mostly of corn and grains. Also of note, the dish is accompanied with faro (an heirloom variety of spelt wheat) harvested by Anson Mills, known for its artisan and organic heirloom grains. For those who want to experience farmto-table dining, the Artisan Table is recommended. Offered on Thursday evenings by reservation only, Artisan Table offers a family-style meal in which “whatever we get in that day that’s great, that’s what we offer for the Artisan Table,” Jackson said. Kolanko added: “It’s an adventure for diners
Oyster Soup with poached Quilcene oysters and chervil. to eat what we serve them; it gets them out of their usual routine or habits, and they end up realizing they like something they previously thought they didn’t.” The Artisan Table sits diners with other “strangers” at first, but develops into a social and private-party atmosphere “where everyone becomes best friends by the end of the evening,” Jackson said. The chef’s choice for dishes includes three different first-courses, several main courses (a meat, fish, accompaniments and two vegetable dishes), along with wine, artisan cheeses, dessert and coffee. “Getting new produce from farms each day keeps our motors running and inspires us each day,” Kolanko said. “It forces the cooks to really think about the food and ingredients, rather than just cooking like it’s routine.”

A thank you story: The Runaway Whippet of La Jolla By Joni Lovci There are senseless moments in life when devastating gratuitous pain and adversity render us speechless and sobbing in the wake of human suffering. September 11. Horrific wildfires in San Diego. A lost and frightened whippet roaming the streets of La Jolla for three days. (Well, at least to me, his owner, this event ranked right up there with the big ones.) Paradoxically and fortunately, these are also the moments when true magic occurs in the universe, when people hold your hand and touch your heart, when despair is transformed into beauty and gratitude. These are the moments that restore your faith that the world is indeed a magnificent place in which to live. I’d like to share the following such moment with the people of La Jolla as a way to express my gratitude to many of them:
A
ndrea the whippet bolted out of my physical therapist’s office on Fay Street at noon on Columbus Day, Oct. 10. I had taken my dog with me to physical therapy because he was four days out of surgery for a serious leg laceration. He wore a wide “bite not” protective collar and needed monitoring. During his escapade, he
ran loose for three days, and was sighted on Girard, La Jolla Boulevard, La Jolla Cove, and the Children’s Seal Pool before he was finally apprehended and recovered three days later. One minute Andrea was securely snoozing next to me on the massage table. The next minute he had made his way to an open reception area door and was bounding down the stairs en route to Girard Avenue. I knew my too-smart-for-hisown-good boy had exploited human error, when I heard the panicked voice of my therapist Nick, yelling, “Andrea! Andrea!” and then heard the thump, thump, thump! of fleeing dog paws down the steep, concrete staircase. Nick was in hot pursuit by the time I found Andrea’s leash and hobbled down the stairs in a vain attempt to join the sprinters. I searched for about four blocks before I was exhausted and turned back to the office to get my car keys and cell phone for what was to be a six-hour search without catching a glimpse of Andrea. A woman named Anne said she had cornered him and attempted to catch him at an intersection on Dowling, but by the time I drove by, Andrea had apparently
Joni Lovci holding Andrea. moved on. I continued on my search and drove for hours, intermittently parking the car, opening the door, calling his name, getting out and searching on foot — always just missing him, or so others told me. I didn’t get many names, but here are some of the heroes:

• Thanks to the folks at the veterinary clinic on Fay Avenue that I raced into, who took Andrea’s description and my phone number. • Thanks to the two gardeners who completely stopped their work and escorted me down the street they saw the wayward
whippet running. Or as they described it:“Black dog.Fast.” • Thank you to the reception people at La Jolla Veterinary Clinic, who were also on the lookout for Andrea and took the call that he had been sighted again, although it was from Anne who had been unsuccessful cornering Andrea, and asked if they could provide her with a trap. • Thanks to the jogger who told me he had indeed seen the dog, stressed and limping, making his way to the beach. He held my hand when I was crying and reassured me, saying, “Hey, this is La Jolla. We love dogs. You’ll get him back.” • Thanks to the deaf man, who, realizing he couldn’t help me, took my hand, went over to some friends who heard my story and looked for Andrea on their bikes. • Thanks to the two lifeguards who didn’t yell at me for parking in their spaces, but rather, greeted me with: “Still haven’t found him? You will. We’re looking for him, too.” • Thanks to the UPS man who stopped to draw me a map because I didn’t know the area. By this time, I notified my dear dog friend, Kay, who posted an SOS on the
Internet, but advised me to put up missing dog posters immediately. I was losing ground and soon daylight, so I drove home to eat and regroup. When I got home, Nick had e-mailed: “I feel horrible about Andrea. Please contact me and let me know what transpired. I wandered around the village, but as I talked to others, fewer people witnessed him running as opposed to the first people I talked to. I feel sick and hope that you have re-united.” I e-mailed Nick a photo of Andrea and copy for some computer-generated lost-dog posters. By the time I reached his office, he had already printed the signs and we were off to distribute them. They noted that Andrea wore a rhinestone collar with his name and my cell phone number, and was microchipped by his breeder in Virginia. Nick drove me around La Jolla way past 6 p.m. I headed home to San Diego. I called another friend, Becky, who was also exhausted, not from chasing a whippet all day, but from chasing students, nonetheless, she insisted we drive back to La Jolla to search some more.

MOST BEAUTIFUL UCSD duo to join Brooklyn ‘Sound Sculptor’ at The Loft BABY PHOTO CONTEST BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Brooklyn-based Marco Benevento is something of a cult figure in the world of avant-jazz, known for his blend of catchy tunes and experimental techniques. Combining keyboard artistry with the latest hightech tools, he uses amplifiers, guitar pickups, samplers, and circuit-bent toys — electronic gadgets whose wires are snipped, intercepted, and redirected to produce new kinds of sounds — to create his own special effects. Hailed as a “sound sculptor,” he’ll be bringing his genre-bending stylings to The Loft on Dec. 1. Although he performed downtown at Street Scene five years ago, this will be his first appearance in our area with his trio, which includes bassist Reed Mathis and drummer Andrew Borger, also featured on his 2010 album, “Between the Needles and Nightfall.” The title refers to a phrase used by the midwife before the birth of Benevento’s second daughter. “She gave my wife some acupuncture and predicted the baby would come ‘between the needles and nightfall,’ ” Benevento said. “The baby was born at 7:40 p.m.” Benevento, who tours widely, has also scored and played soundtracks for Walt Disney’s “Dumbo” — at least, the “Pink Elephants on Parade” segment — and the RogerCorman/Vincent Price thriller “House of Usher.” Usher, first performed live at an outdoor concert in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, had a repeat performance this Halloween in Burlington, Vermont. Benevento’s appearance here is the first stop on a cross-country tour that begins in the west and includes a 2012 Jam Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale Jan. 9-14. At The Loft, he’ll be playing an acoustic piano with guitar pickups and whatever else he decides to throw into the mix. And he’ll introduce his newest, just-released, two-song, 7-inch recording. Opening for Benevento will be an duo of UCSD sonic experimentalists known as KaiBorg, composed of David Bargo, a saxophonist, ethnomusicologist and asso-

Marco Benevento brings his genre-bending sound stylings to The Loft on Dec. 1. MICHAEL WEINTROB
If you go ■ What: Marco Benevento and KaiBorg ■ When: 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1 ■ Where: The Loft at UCSD, Price Center East, 2nd Floor ■ Tickets: $15-$25 ■ UCSD Students: $5 ■ Contact: (858) 858-534-TIXS artpower.ucsd.edu ciate professor in the music department’s Integrative Studies program, and Jeff Kaiser, a trumpet-player, multimedia artist and Ph.D.track student. Both men also use laptops in performance, and play, separately and together, in many different venues and recordings. In 2009, KaiBorg was featured at the grand opening of UCSD’s Conrad Prebys Music Center.
Borgo, who has been part of the faculty since 2002, first met Kaiser about five years ago, when the latter joined the Integrative Studies program after a varied career that included time spent as a guitarist, choir director, and pastor. “We immediately hit it off as fellow improvisers,” Borgo said. “And Jeff has a tremendous electronic background, having grown up with pedals and effects. My background was more acoustic, jazz fusion and rock, but he’s been working with electronic adjustments and extended instruments since the 1980s.” Laptops have made their work more interesting, more complex, and more portable. “It’s a whole new instrument to learn,” Borgo said. “And a whole lot of thought has to go into creating the interface so you can be in the moment when you play. But it’s a lot more convenient to carry around a laptop than a suitcase full of guitar pedals!”

A woman was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn’t find one big enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?” The stock boy answered, “No ma’am, they’re dead.”

Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) live in woods in parts of North America and are the largest game birds found in this part of the world. True. They spend their days foraging for food like acorns, seeds, small insects and wild berries. They spend their nights in low branches of trees (yes, wild turkeys can fly!). Male turkeys, aka ‘Tom Turkeys’ or ‘Gobblers,’ puff up their bodies and spread their tail feathers just like a peacock. They grunt, make a ‘gobble gobble sound,’ and strut about shaking their feathers. This fancy turkey trot helps the male attract females (aka ‘hens’) for mating. — infoplease.com
Nine-Ten chef to ‘battle’ Bobby Flay Executive Chef Jason Knibb of La Jolla’s Nine-Ten Restaurant will make a special appearance on the Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” at 10 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 27. Knibb, the first chef from San Diego to appear on the national television show, will take on American celebrity chef, Bobby Flay, a restaurateur and reality television personality. Based upon the Japanese cult sensation, “Iron Chef America” carries on the legend of Kitchen Stadium and the famed “secret
ingredient.” Each week, world-class chefs battle the legendary Iron Chefs of America — Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Masaharu Morimoto, Cat Cora, Jose Garces, Michael Symon and Marc Forgione. Alton Brown serves as Jason knibb commentator and Mark Dacascos is chairman. More at foodnetwork.com and nine-ten.com

Bid bye-bye to leftover turkey with these delicious dishes Turkey Stew, or a classic Turkey Pot Pie.
Turkey Nicoise Salad This salad is a delightful lightweight after the heavy carbs of Thanksgiving with just enough meat and potatoes to satisfy all. (Serves 4)
Kitchen Shrink BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN There’s good news and bad news as we waddle away from the Thanksgiving table. The Bad: The more than 45 million turkeys consumed will yield copious amounts of leftovers from 535 pounds of breast meat, thighs, wings and legs. The Good: There must be 50 ways to use your leftovers. ■ A Souper Bowl The leftover carcass makes a great soup base, the bones giving rich flavor and body to a turkey noodle, matzo ball, Italian wedding, wild rice, mushroom barley, turkey veggie, pasta e fazol with navy beans, Greek tur-
■ Ingredients: • 2 pounds of turkey breast meat, cubed • 1 head of bib lettuce, torn in bite-size pieces • 1/2 pound of baby creamer red potatoes • 1/2 pound of thin green beans or haricots, ends trimmed • 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced in quarters • 1/2 pound of Roma tomatoes, cubed • 1/3 cup each of black and green olives, pitted, halved • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced • Chopped fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, tarragon or chives) ■ Method: In two separate pots, boil the potatoes until tender. Cut key lemon (avgolemono) or hearty lentil. Throw in some turkey chunks that will become moist and rejuvenated in the pot of savory soups. ■ Turk Mex Turkey is adaptable to practically every ethnic dish on the planet. For Italian, top

lengthwise in quarters, set aside. Boil string beans for 4 minutes, al dente. Drain and set aside. Toss the bib lettuce in the dressing (recipe below). Arrange on a large platter, covering the surface. Toss the potatoes and beans in the dressing, separately. Start assembling on the platter in segregated piles — the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, onions, olives and eggs, with the turkey in the
a pizza pie with turkey strips, fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes; bake turkey Parmesan blanketed with marinara sauce; whip up turkey tetrazzini, piccata with lemon and capers, or cacciatore. Dial up the spice with turkey burritos, turkey chili, or turkey nachos.
■ For the dressing: • 1 garlic clove, chopped • Juice from one lemon • 1 anchovy fillet, drained (optional) • 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard • 8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • 1 tablespoon of minced shallots • 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce • Sea salt and black pepper to taste ■ Method: In a small mixing bowl, mash the anchovy and garlic into a paste. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the mustard, lemon and oil until well incorporated. Add the shallots and Worcestershire. Refrigerate.
Stir-fry a turkey chow or low mein; do turkey spring rolls, egg foo yung, or turkey and black bean sauce over organic jasmine rice. Be adventurous with Middle Eastern turkey, pair it with walnut and pomegranate sauce, stuffed pitas or turkey saffron rice with lentils.
■ Turkey A-Go-Go How ‘bout a twist on Shepherd’s Pie using shredded turkey, leftover mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, and other veggies hangin’ around from the big dinner. Also consider Turkey Mac and Cheese, Turkey Sliders with gravy dipping sauce,
■ Hail Caesar! Concoct one-dish salads loaded with lean turkey protein, heart-healthy seeds and nuts, fiber, and vitamins A, C, K and lycopenerich fruits and veggies. Toss a Turkey Caesar with big chunks of white meat, crunchy romaine, garlic croutons and olive oil-anchovy based dressing (hold the raw egg, even though your chances of contracting salmonella from an infected egg is 1 in 30,000). Have a yen for Asian? Do a Mandarin with toasted almonds and sesame seeds. You could also go Greek with black olives, cherry tomatoes, Persian cukes and crumbled feta. How about a healthier take on the French Nicoise Salad by swapping out the mercury-laden tuna with chunks of lean white turkey.

Jr. Theatre show has Santa tangling with Martians “Santa Claus vs. the Martians,” another San Diego Junior Theatre and West Coast premiere, hits the YMCA Firehouse at 7877 Herschel Ave, Dec. 2-18. This slapstick comedy is based on the 1964 B-movie, “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.” Two of the Martians, Momar (Dariane Wood) and Kimar (Kaari McBride) decide to abduct Santa Claus (Fenton Pare’) so their Martian children will be able to have fun. The plan backfires when Voldar, the bad Martian (Katie Wegmann), plots to kill Santa Claus because of a deep bitterness against him. What happens next? “The play is serious, yet comical,” said director Katie Rodda. “It’s great for families, friends, and even sci-fi fans and Comic-Con lovers. I definitely recommend getting tickets!” Showtimes are 7 p.m. Fridays; 2 and 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, through Dec. 18. Tickets are $11-$14 at Juniortheatre.com and (619) 239-8355. Plan to arrive early to allow for parking. — Giovanni Moujaes

Religion & spirituality Spotlight...
Rev. Raymond G. “Jerry” O’Donnell, Pastor We believe that All Hallows is much more than simply a place to worship once a week. It is also a center for learning, teaching, sharing faith experiences, and for giving and receiving that strength that we all need for our life-long journey with God. We are those servants mentioned by Jesus (Matthew 25:1430). Each of us have been richly gifted, but these gifts must be invested wisely and generously to help others, according to the principles of good Christian Stewardship. Know that you are most welcome at All Hallows. We hope that you will find your faith home here in our community. May God bless you.

PET CONNECTION Baboo is a friendly and lovable guy who can’t wait to find a family of his own! While he absolutely loves spending quality time with his companions, Baboo is also very comfortable spending time alone. He could be a bit shy at first, but he really comes out of his shell once he becomes more familiar with his environment. Even though Baboo doesn’t always like to be petted, he has a really big heart! He will do well in a variety of homes, but would prefer a home without young children. For the Senior Pet Adoption Promotion, from November 5th through November 30th of 2011, Baboo’s adoption fee is $25 and includes his neuter, permanent microchip identification, and a certificate for a free veterinary exam!

www.lajollalight.com FROM DOG, B12 We ended our search with dinner and my spirits were restored by some hot won ton soup and the assurance from the restaurant owner that I would find my dog. But that first night was the hardest … what if someone had picked Andrea up and taken him home? Why hadn’t anyone called me? If he was still loose out there, where was he and what had kind of hazards had he encountered? My sheltered little dog was now running amok out in the big, sometimes bad, world. Everything was out of my control. The morning of the second day, I went to the Humane Society to see if Andrea had been picked up, or as Kay phrased it, his body had been recovered. No little Andrea, dead or alive, although 100 pleading canine eyes were upon me in an effort to take Andrea’s place, as I searched the public viewing areas. I put the 8x10 photocopy of Andrea and lost dog poster into the lost dog catalog. The morning of Day 3, Kay e-mailed again. She advised me to soup up my search and get out there with a trap myself. Health constraints would not allow me to do so. However, Shay, a woman who had helped train Andrea, learned about his missing status. She contacted me that she was forming a search party to look for Andrea the next morning. She would use a small Chihuahua to coax Andrea out, dog treats, and lots of manpower. She also enlightened me about the petamberalert lost dog service. I got on the website and e-mailed a photo and description of Andrea. It is reassuring to know you can buy the

About the Whippet ■ The breed is playful and semi-active with a gentle and loyal nature. ■ A whippet’s sleek, muscular and aerodynamic body (and long powerful muzzle), serve its lightning-quick getaways and prey drive. Its real forte is its double-suspension gallop, and the resulting speed is breathtaking. A strong, flexible back and powerful hindquarters allow acceleration to a top speed of 37 mph in 15 seconds. They are the fastest dog on the sprint. Only a Greyhound can outrun a Whippet, and only if the race is long-distance. ■ In 2000, among the 148 American Kennel Clubrecognized breeds, Whippets ranked 63rd with 1,914 registered dogs.

services of “pet detectives” to search for your pet via hundreds of mailings to dog businesses, residences, companies in the area. I had just inputted all the information to hire the service with my credit card number and “send” when suddenly the cell phone rang. Laurie, apparently a foreign student from her accent, told me she had found my dog. She had to get to class. Could I come out right now and get him? I told her I was about 15 minutes away, and if she had to get to class, would she first drop Andrea off at either vet clinic in La Jolla? She said she would take Andrea to the vet, although they would probably “charge me.” I didn’t have time to tell her that I would give them the deed to my upside down townhome to get this dog back!

I asked what her name was and what I could do for her, but Laurie refused to take any money for Andrea’s return. She responded, “I just want to see this dog back with you.” By the time she called me back to tell me she had delivered Andrea to the Fay Avenue clinic, just down the street from Nick’s Neuromuscular Fitness Center, I was speeding along on I-5 North. My friend, Becky, is still disturbed that we will never know the story of how Andrea was reigned in. But in any case, I want to thank Laurie, with these words: I’m not sure you understand the enormity of the deed you did. I hope you didn’t get in trouble for being late to class. You were of the many people who were links in the chain that made it possible for me to watch Andrea sleeping at my feet tonight.
