Performing arts groups in limbo after Neurosciences ends lease By Pat Sherman Some 40 San Diego performing arts organizations learned last week that the top-tier La Jolla performance space they have been using for free may not be available to them any longer. Since the Neurosciences Institute (NSI) began operating at its facility near UC

San Diego in 1996, nonprofit performing arts and education groups have been the beneficiary of the research institution’s largesse, receiving regular, gratis access to NSI’s 352-seat, acoustically superior concert venue. Scripps Research Institute owns the auditorium and the two adjacent buildings

leased by NSI. Scripps spokeswoman Stacy Rosenberg said NSI’s lease was set to expire in 2014, though the institution asked to be released from the lease early. The property will revert back to Scripps control on Oct. 1.

Shores Tomorrow files suit to block ‘McMansion’ on Whale Watch By Dave Schwab A grass-roots group advocating controlled growth in La Jolla Shores has filed a lawsuit challenging construction of what some consider to be a “McMansion” on a half-acre parcel in their neighborhood. La Jolla Shores Tomorrow has hired attorney Julie Hamilton who filed a lawsuit on the nonprofit group’s behalf March 12. The suit seeks to overturn a 7-1 vote by the city council in February, which denied an appeal brought on behalf of La Jolla Community Planning Association (the community advisory group on landuse), seeking to block demolition of an existing 4,100-square foot, single-story home at 8490 Whale Watch, to replace it with a two-story dwelling more than three times its present size (12,700-square feet). “The project is simply too different and the city, in passing it, failed to consider impacts associated with the project to traffic, aesthetics, the environment and land use, particularly archaeology,” said Hamilton. “The project simply isn’t compatible with this area.” A negative declaration was prepared by the city for the project determining that it would have no significant impacts on the environment. On Feb. 6, the city council voted 7-1 to certify the project’s negative declaration, as well as finding that an environmental impact report for the project would not be required. The law firm Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP of San Diego, which is representing the project developer, could not be reached for comment.

Kiwanians receiving the award were Craig Bratlien and Rebecca Morales. Glen Rasmussen, president of The Riford Center Board of Directors, credited Yansick with “helping to improve the adult community center by charting The Riford’s course, coordinat-

ing and developing its programming, and working to grow its membership.” Chartered in 1925, La Jolla Kiwanis Club raises more than $200,000 annually through the La Jolla Half Marathon and other benefits, which it dispenses to numerous charities, many youth-oriented. The group meets Fridays for lunch at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. For more information, visit www.la-kiwanisone.org.

Eyeing its 60th year

The Gillispie School salutes ‘founders’ La Jolla Kiwanis

By Jeanie Scott The historic connection between The Gillispie School and La Jolla Kiwanis was outlined by Head of School Alison Fleming recently, at a Friday meeting of the civic organization. The story of Gillispie begins in 1917 when Kansas pediatrician Samuel Tilden Gillispie was offered a job in La Jolla. Sam and his wife Ada didn’t have children of their own; so much of the love and energy for children was channeled into their philanthropic work in La Jolla. Samuel’s community service started with the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla, of which he was a founder, first president, and chair of the underprivileged child committee. Following Samuel’s death, Ada continued to work for their causes with the backing of the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla. Ada and a handful of philanthropic friends went on to establish The

Gillispie Thrift Shop on Eads Avenue, which sold used clothing and household goods to support a milk fund and food basket program for single parents and indigent families. Over the years, Kiwanis helped purchase additional land and built childcare and school facilities. In 1953, a new school fa-

home for all the children in ‘The Jewel,’ and over time it grew and grew and soon it became The Gillispie School.” Today the school serves 260 students from toddlers to sixth-graders. The Kiwanis continue to support Gillispie through donations to the school’s financial aid program. Soon the historic Gillispie

cility opened at the The Gillispie School’s current Girard Avenue location. The Kiwanis Club continued its oversight of the campus for many years, with its members serving on Gillispie’s Board of Trustees and with the help of members’ talents and resources. At the conclusion of the Kiwanis luncheon, The Gil-

lispie School choir received a standing ovation for its performance of the original “Gillispie Song,” written by former parent Melissa Fay. The lyrics capture the school’s history then and now: “Many years ago, in a town by the great blue sea, a woman changed the world and her name was Ada Gillispie. She made a special

School will begin a yearlong look back to celebrate the 60 years since the school opened its doors at 7380 Girard Ave. “I look forward to celebrating the history, vision and accomplishments of Ada Gillispie with current and former families, alumni and the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla,” Fleming said.

Correction In an article appearing in the March 22 edition of the Light about proposed teacher layoffs (“Did the State blow it?”), parent Marnie Fay was mistakenly quoted as saying that her child could not get a quality

education with a class size of 36 students. Another parent, in fact, made this statement. Miss Fay wishes it known that her child’s teacher is doing “an exceptional job.” The Light regrets the error.

Buyer in sight: Community will meet tonight to debate post office building uses By Dave Schwab La Jollans are being called upon to help decide what “Plan B” should be in case the ongoing effort to save La Jolla’s existing post office on Wall Street fails. Residents will get their chance to weigh-in on the issue Thursday, March 29 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St., during a “Re-imagining the La Jolla Post Office” community forum. A great many “reuses” — civic space, a new restaurant, a museum or art gallery, even a new theater — have all been suggested. But what would be the best reuse of the facility? Patrick Ahern, a member of the Save La Jolla Post Office Task Force, which has been working to save the building since the U.S. Postal Service announced Jan. 9 its intent to sell it and relocate services, said it all comes down to dollars and what makes financial sense.

“What this property is going to be worth is all based on income. You want a return on your investment,” Ahern said, noting the established rate of return on investment in La Jolla is six percent. Whatever reuse ultimately is decided upon for the building, Ahern said the objective is to “create a real sense of place” by tying it into the historic fabric of the community in a way that “is an economic benefit.” There’s at least one major hurdle to overcome though. “That is a destination location, off the beaten path, where you have to make a conscious decision to go,” Ahern said. ”Any replacement use would need to be something that gets people in and out of that loAllstate Insurance of La Jolla cation.

Joe LaCava, a community planner who is likely to be a panelist during the March 29 post office reimaging forum, said this is a rare opportunity for the community to provide input on how one of the community’s cornerstone real estate properties could be reused. “There’s precious few opportunities for the community to really speak up on these kinds of properties,” he said. “Here’s one to take something that is in the heart of our Village and preserve it for civic- or community-based uses. We want to tell the ultimate owners: This is what we as La Jollans would like to see.” LaCava said he would like to see this prime piece of real estate adapted imaginatively. “I just don’t think this should be another retail, spa or restaurant space. We don’t need another one like that. Maybe some kind of art or theater space that would

draw people, activate the nightlife in La Jolla and be a positive addition,” he said. If La Jolla’s post office can’t be kept as it is, where it is, Leslie Davis, interim chair of the La Jolla Post Office Task Force, said the second option would be community ownership via a not-for-profit. The third choice, she said, would be sale to a sympathetic developer. Enter Kevin Kinsella, a La Jolla venture capitalist, who owns the former Copley Library at 1134 Wall St. who has converted it as exhibit space for La Jolla memorabilia. Kinsella has stepped forward to say he might have an interest in acquiring the La Jolla Post Office building. “I am a potentially sympathetic buyer, depending on the price, and what can be done with that building,” Kinsella said, “but I don’t want to lead it (building redevelopment) or be in charge of it.” Kinsella said the post office property could more easily be redeveloped as “a raw piece of real estate,” and that maintaining the building’s façade and indoor Depression-era mural “cuts down on the value of the building.” Nonetheless, Kinsella said he has a “soft spot in his heart” for the old La Jolla Post Office building and hopes “things can be worked out.”

Retrain Your Brain on the Treadmill Recovery is possible long after a stroke, even after all the routine therapies have been tried. In a 2008 study, researchers at Johns Hopkins, the Univ of Maryland and the VA Medical Center compared 2 groups of stroke survivors. One group walked on a treadmill, while the other participated in a stretching program. MRI’s at the end of 6 months showed an increase in metabolic activity in the brainstem & cerebellum for the treadmill users, but not in the stretching group. The treadmill exercisers were also significantly more fit upon completion of the study. The average age of participants was 63, and the average time they began the treadmill program was 4 years after the stroke. The study’s results, published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association, suggest that a patient’s brain may retain the capacity to rewire itself months or even years after traditional stroke rehab has ended. However, stroke survivors should begin a treadmill program only under supervision. At Ability Rehab we specialize in stroke recovery and pride ourselves with achieving optimal results. Our therapists will design a comprehensive treatment plan to address each individual situation. Whether you need to improve mobility & independence or maximize balance to prevent falls - we can help.

FROM Neurosciences, A1 Rosenberg said Scripps Research Institute does not have the funds to allow arts organizations to continue using the space for free. During the past week, she has met collectively and individually with representatives from many of the affected groups to work out a solution. However, she said, the halcyon days of free use are most certainly over. It costs about $350,000 a year to operate the auditorium, given its current usage, Rosenberg said. Scripps also would need to find money to pay for a part-time employee to oversee the performing arts program, she said. An annual fundraiser called Minding the Arts was organized to help offset the cost to NSI of operating the auditorium, though last September’s event netted only about $100,000 said the institute’s research director, Dr. Einar Gall. “Minding the Arts each

year has been a source of very significant support, but it has not covered all of our costs,” Gall said of the upscale event, tickets to which cost $150-$250. Rosenberg said the funding that Scripps Research Institute receives — as much as 85 percent of it from government sources such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) — does not include money for the arts. While the Neurosciences Institute’s vision and research was more aligned with music and the arts — including research into music’s effect on the brain — Rosenberg said Scripps “is a very different kind of science institution.” “We’re struggling, like all other not-for-profit institutions,” she said. “We’re looking at a threatened federal funding climate, because there have been major cuts to the NIH.

The austere exterior of the auditorium at the Neurosciences Institute was designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien & Associates of New York City. The NSI is ‘considered one of the architectural gems, not only of San Diego, but of the country,’ said its research director Dr. Einar Gall. Pat Sherman “We also are obligated under the terms of our mission to devote any funds that are raised for Scripps Research to biomedical research,” she said. Mainly Mozart has been using the space since 1996, and has annually held up to 17 performances there in recent years. Though getting audiences and performers to venture to the isolated auditorium was a risk at the onset, Mainly Mozart’s executive director, Nancy Laturno

Bojanic, said concertgoers eventually grew to love it. “Unlike most other venues, people’s decision to participate has a lot to do with that venue,” Bojanic said. “There are thousands of people who use the Neurosciences Institute as a primary venue for their concertgoing. … The size of the theater for chamber music and for what many others produce there is really lovely.” Bojanic said Mainly Mozart plans its concert series 18 months in advance. The lineup for its 2013 season was planned out long before Bojanic knew about the lease transfer. Erika Torri, executive director of the Anthenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla, said her organization also began using the NSI auditorium in 1996. Today, it holds six concerts per year there, including a summer classical music program by former San Diego piano protégée Gustavo Romero. “The word has spread among international performers that this is such an outstanding performance hall,” said Torri, noting the

facility’s “clean, contemporary appearance” and “superb acoustics.” “It was an enormous gift and we are most thankful that we were able to use it.” Rosenberg said Scripps Research Institute would continue using the auditorium to hold approximately 10 scientific symposia, as it has while the Neurosciences Institute was its tenant. “If it can be worked out, we would like to keep the auditorium available to the arts organizations,” Rosenberg said, noting that the solution would most likely involve charging organizations a fee for its use. From Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, 2013 Scripps will rent the auditorium to arts organizations for $1,500 per event, though Scripps said the temporary rate will only partially offset operating costs. “The various organizations that use the auditorium range in size … from those that are a little better funded to very small organizations that have no funding,” she said. “It may be that there’s not a price-point that is going to be accept-

able to some of the smaller organizations, but that will make it available to some of the larger organizations. “We’re trying to find a comfortable point where it will be affordable to some ... and generate enough revenue to offset the costs of operating the auditorium.” Ron Newby, founder and curator of the Bronowski Art and Science Forum, said his group has used the NSI auditorium for three years. He is currently reaching out to forum members to see if they can raise enough money to continue the series there. “It would be logistically very difficult to start selling tickets,” Newby wrote in an email. “Many individuals, especially students, would find the cost to be prohibitive. Passing the hat at each event would present great difficulty. I believe attendance would suffer greatly.” Until the transition on Oct. 1, all previously scheduled performances at the Neurosciences Institute will continue as planned, without cost to the organizations. Torri said the prospect of having to pay to use the space does not come as a surprise. “On the contrary, it’s probably about time,” she said, adding that $1,500 per event was not “unreasonable.” “We have to stand up and find (the money),” Torri said. “I have to raise it — there’s no doubt about it. We are so well known for our jazz concerts (there) that

Though lacking Bilbray’s war chest, Subka said sound policy ideas and the public’s distaste for career politicians might open a window for him to advance beyond the June 5 open-primary election. “When I look at the bills he (Bilbray) did pass — and there’s only about 10 or 12 — none of them even address the major issues of the community,” said Subka, who attended Santa Fe Christian

The jobs in the community are not paying what they were 10 or 15 years ago.” Subka said that while Bilbray and some Republicans blame illegal immigration, he believes the economy and tax base are taking a major hit due to the government undercutting the local talent pool through the issuance of H-1B visas (or those that allow U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations). “Qualcomm is bringing in all these people from China and India (with) H-1B visas that they should be paying, let’s say, $80,000 to $90,000 (a year),” Subka said. “If you go down to Qualcomm and you look at some of these people who have masters degrees in computer science from India, they’re paying them $35,000$40,000 a year.

Nexus of human touch and technology the focus of annual Scripps Health symposium By Pat Sherman Are advances in medical technology creating a depersonalized health care industry that is both a physical and financial detriment to patients? It’s a question some 600 medical professionals pondered during Scripps Health’s fifth annual Quality Summit on March 9, titled “Caring for the Patient: from Genome to Beside.” The symposium, held at the Marriott Del Mar hotel, included a keynote address by New York Times best-selling author and physician, Dr. Abraham Verghese. During his remarks, Verghese addressed what he sees as a gradual deterioration of the patientphysician relationship in lieu of costly diagnostic testing. “We are entering a magical era in technology, but parallel to that comes the sense that there’s also jeopardy,” said Verghese, a professor of medicine at Stanford University. Rounds — bedside visits by

”

— Dr. Abraham Verghese Author, physician and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine physicians or other medical professionals — are not taking place the way they once did, he said. “Rounds seem to center around the virtual construct of the patient in the computer, something that I’ve coined the ‘iPatient,’ ” he said. “The iPatient is getting wonderful care all across America. The real patient often wonders where the

hell everyone is who’s going to tell them what’s going on.” Instead of thoroughly listening to what a patient is saying about their condition, Verghese said the average American physician interrupts them within the first 14 seconds. The value of the physical exam — a ritual between doctor and patient

that establishes trust — should not be underestimated, he said. “As we’ve gone with increased diagnostic testing, it has been accompanied by a lack of faith and by oversight in the bedside diagnosis,” Verghese said. “I love technology, but I don’t see any need to abandon things that give you the diagnosis right away — and I

think that if you’re good at the bedside you’re more likely to be parsimonious about what tests you order and spare the patient expense.” During a panel discussion, Scripps Health’s corporate legal counsel, Richard Sheridan, asked how physicians can find the time — and healthcare systems justify the expense — of a 45-minute physical exam. “When we have so many ways of wasting money, how is a 45minute exam that saves you money and stops the patient from bouncing around healthcare systems a waste of money?” Verghese questioned. “I very often see this in our hospital where someone has belly pain and the house staff are about to go off shift and sometimes their instinct is to order a test, instead of going to see the patient. “Going to see the patient might take a little more time,” he said, “but you might find that the pain is actually not in the belly or that

Gall and NSI founder and director, Dr. Gerald Edelman, say they are not yet certain where the Neurosciences Institute will be located next, or whether it will remain in San Diego. The modest research institute has about 40 staff, down from about 50 at its peak. “These are challenging times for a lot of organizations,” Gall said. “We have a group of very good scientists that have made some significant contributions to understanding the brain. Most of the people in the community know about the institute because of the auditorium and the performing arts program.”

If there’s nothing in it for them, then they’re not going to do it — and that’s literally the problem with the system. It has nothing to do with ideology.”

Perez’s sea lavender adds a great splash of purple to the seashore

Students explore the USS Midway

Natural La Jolla By Kelly Stewart

he first day of spring has just passed and that means we are about to be surrounded by the most beautiful wildflowers (and cultivated flowers) along our seashore. The bluffs are brightening with color and one plant that is beginning to thrive again is Perez’s sea lavender, also known as statice (Limonium perezii). This plant, native to the Canary Islands (however common similar species exist almost everywhere throughout the Mediterranean and elsewhere), has become naturalized in our county and now grows wild

in disturbed areas, along roadways and along the seashore. Its ability to flourish in salty soil makes it able to survive along the very edge of the ocean. Sea lavender, which is a perennial that propagates through rhizomes (root structures), has bright green leaves and flowers that are

bunched at the top of a long stalk — the flowers are made up of tiny purple sepals and white petals. Papery to the touch when alive, statice makes an excellent plant for dried flower arrangements, as it will keep its brilliant color for many months.

ird Rock Elementary School fourth-graders recently took a tour of the USS Midway. There, they learned about the history of the ship and performed experiments with electricity and magnets. The Midway was a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier — the lead ship of her class and the first to be commissioned after the end of World War II. Active in the Vietnam War and in Operation Desert Storm, she is now a museum ship at the USS Midway Museum in San Diego. When she was completed in 1945, she was the first U.S. warship that was unable to utilize the Panama Canal due to her size.

We’ve brought you coverage of the Save The Post Office Task Force meetings, photographed the folks leading the charge, and quoted experts on the needed processes and possible outcomes.

UCSD welcomes community to Triton Day Experience Guest Commentary By Marye Anne Fox UCSD Chancellor Where can you check out the latest sustainable vehicles, get your blood pressure screened, witness cuttingedge research, learn about college planning and listen to live music, all in one place, at one time? The answer is UC San Diego. The university will host a special “Triton Day Experience” for campus and community members

from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 7. The event is free and open to the public. The day’s activities will offer campus visitors an enhanced opportunity to discover all that UC San Diego has to offer, including world-class education, translational research and advanced patient care. With nearly 30,000 students, 133 majors, a billion-dollar research enterprise, and world-renowned faculty who are at the forefront of their fields — from science and technology, to social science and the humanities, to medicine and business — UC San Diego is an educational and research powerhouse.

Take time with the Welcome sign I urge going slow on deciding about a sign for La Jolla. Personally I am horrified by the proposed lighted sign as a garish symbol of money and commerce. On moving here 35 years ago, I sought and found a place where no one cared how much money one had. Whether it be a lot or a little was irrelevant in community oriented to ocean and university education. It has been a place where one can breathe remarkably free from the prejudices which make so many wealthy communities enclaves of boredom. For 35 years I have fought against the economic forces which by their innate nature always push towards destroying the very essence of what makes La Jolla a uniquely special place to live, learn, and visit. Please think long and hard about maintaining the true character of La Jolla. John A. Berol La Jolla

Welcome sign needs artistic touch Although I appreciate the efforts of the anonymous donor to fund a “Welcome to La Jolla” sign, the prototype illustrated in the March 1, 2012 issue of La Jolla Light does not capture the spirit and essence of La Jolla. The font and its stark placement on the pedestrian bridge façade does just the opposite by presenting La Jolla as a corporate, uninspired, and unimaginative community. The idea of a welcome sign is terrific, but it needs to be designed by artists and members of La Jolla’s creative community. I strongly urge the donor to involve the committee members responsible for commissioning the precedentsetting Murals of La Jolla project (through the La Jolla Community Foundation). Their expertise, insight, and unparalleled commitment to enriching the experience of residents and visitors

will help students and their parents learn more about how to plan for, get into and pay for college. We’ll also have student-guided campus tours departing every 30 minutes, and various stages with live music, singing, dancing and demonstrations. Triton Day Experience is about learning and living the UC San Diego adventure, and what it means to be a Triton. I encourage you to come to the campus, and bring your friends and family members, especially elementary, middle and high school students. It’s never too early to motivate and inspire young minds.

My step toward energy independence On April 20, 2010 the Deepwater Horizon explosion began the gushing of 4.9 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It was the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. Coincidentally, that very same day, Nissan began taking reservations for the Nissan LEAF. I had been anticipating that opportunity since watching the 2006 video, “Who Killed the Electric Car?” I made a reservation on the Nissan website to order my 2011 Nissan LEAF. Now, with two years of hindsight and nine months of EV driving experience, I can say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The Nissan LEAF is quiet, clean, convenient and very inexpensive to drive. Now, with more new EV models being released, used 2011 models can be purchased at a great discount. With gas prices now teetering around $4 per gallon, I think many people will make their EV car payments in lieu of their monthly gasoline bill. It makes sense financially and environmentally. It advances the goal of increasing America’s energy independence. I encourage everyone to test drive an EV, and find out if driving an EV is right for them. Lynn Laumann La Jolla

She was born September 26, 1959, and as her mother put it to her older sister, Noel, was a birthday present because Noel’s birthday was three days later on September 29th. Jolie grew up in La Jolla, going to Stella Maris Academy and then to La Jolla High and finally UCSD. She worked for Angleitner Chiropractic in La Jolla for many years and she very much enjoyed her interaction with the patients and the many friendships that came from those encounters. Some of her fun activities were surfing, horseback riding, skiing, biking, football, music, gardening and traveling (especially to Hawaii). She loved animals and had quite a few pets over the years. She was a great cook and enjoyed getting together with friends, and on many occasions, impressing them with her culinary delights. Due to health issues, everyday life had its challenges but she was a fighter and continued her daily activities as best she could. She was constantly

educating herself on health and nutrition and passing along that knowledge to others hoping that for whatever time we all have here that quality of life could be at its optimum. She married July 7, 2007, to her long time friend, love of her life and soul mate, Michael Lemus. They did everything together and the day she passed away she was in his arms. She had suffered for a long time and her body and organs were slowly failing her. She and her husband were married at Mary Star of the Sea and were very active in the Catholic Church. They were lectors and Jolie was also a member of Our Lady’s Guild. She took her role seriously and loved what she did in the church and the many people she interacted with. She is survived by her husband, Michael and his family; mother, Rosemary; sister, Kathy; brother, Steve; and nephew, River. On her side, she is survived by her father, Stanley J.; sisters, Noel, Cheri and Karla; and brother, Kent (Margherite); and two nephews, Thomas and Mathew; along with many dear friends. She was a true friend, genuine, loyal, fun loving and compassionate to a fault. She was a fireball, grabbing as best she could the most out of life. She was intelligent, quick witted, spiritual and had a great sense of humor. This is why she had so many friends, they enjoyed being in her company and we will all miss her more than words can say. A Memorial Service was held at Mary Star of the Sea Church on March 17, 2012, with a reception that followed. After the service and reception her ashes

were spread at Wind & Sea. Her husband, accompanied by long time mutual friends, went out on surfboards with Jolie’s surfboard in tow and spread her ashes followed by the laying of plumeria (her favorite flower) wreaths upon the water. It was a beautiful ceremony. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

Georgeanna W. Lipe 1909 – 2012

Georgeanna Lipe, a beloved matriarch of La Jolla, died peacefully in her sleep Sunday, March 25, 2012. She was born Georgeanna White in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 21, 1909, the same year Mark Twain died. Her father came from a long line of Scot-Irish pioneers who settled the South from North Carolina to Tennessee including the founding of Knoxville, TN. Her maternal side first introduced breeding stock to northern Texas plains in the 1860’s. She attended Ward-Belmont College before graduating

from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Art and Medical Science (BA’30). It was there she met her husband of 58 years, J.T. Lipe, a young medical student. A gifted artist, she worked for Vanderbilt’s Medical School, Dept. of Medical Illustration, sketching surgical procedures for medical journals and research papers. The couple moved to Rochester, NY, where Dr. Lipe completed his residency training and Georgeanna worked for the University of Rochester School of Medicine supplementing their Depression-era income with her creative illumination of documents for local churches. In 1936, Dr. Lipe accepted a position in La Jolla, CA, and, sight unseen, they moved West. As he started his medical career, Georgeanna focused her energy on raising their three children as well as becoming active with Scripps Hospital’s Candlelight Ball, Scouts, The Wednesday Club, Mealson-Wheels and La Jolla Presbyterian Church. After her children left home, Georgeanna directed her focus back to her art career, transitioning from pen and ink to watercolors and becoming one of Southern California’s finest watercolor artists. She travelled the world attending workshops of noted artists, developing her interpretive style of spontaneity, fresh colors and free flowing washes. She was quoted as saying, “We live in a beautiful world so

let’s enjoy it in all its depth of color and infinite variety of design.” She showcased her work in exhibits throughout the US winning acclaim, professional awards and position with several corporate and private collectors, including the Copley Collection, Union Oil and Hospital Corp. of America. She was a charter member of the San Diego Watercolor Society and the La Jolla Art Association, as well as an active member of Watercolor West and the San Diego Art Institute. At 86, she opened her own gallery on Girard Ave. in La Jolla providing a forum for local artists. When asked to describe Georgeanna, friend Patti Keyes said, “She had a smile as quick as her wit and warm as her heart. Her personality was a triple shot of curiosity, creativity and positivity, blended with an adventurous spirit and spunk.” Mrs. Lipe is survived by her children, Steele (Patti) Lipe of Haymarket, VA, Terry (Jerry) Jordan of Julian, CA, and Susanna (John) Aalbers of La Jolla; six grandchildren; and six greatgrandchildren. A Celebration of Life and reception is planned for Saturday, April 14, 2012, at 3pm at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. All are encouraged to wear watercolor colors. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the San Diego Watercolor Society or La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS A night of beauty awaits spa mavens By Marti Gacioch Visitors to La Jolla’s SK Sanctuary, 5:30–8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 29 can meet with some 15 vendors and suppliers who will display their products, provide samples and brochures, and share the latest information about skincare techniques in the medical spa industry at “A Night of Beauty.” Plastic surgeon, Dr. Stephen M. Krant, M.D., F.A.C. and his wife, Lyn Krant, co-own the 7,000-square-foot, 11-year-old business. “Our vendors will spread out all over our 12 treatment rooms, and people can walk around and have a glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres, and learn about the latest beauty treatments available — like non-invasive rejuvenation treatments,” said Lyn Krant. “Both Dr. Krant and his associate, Dr. John G. Apostolides, M.D., who perform plastic surgery and breast reconstructive surgery, will be present to talk about the plastic surgery and makeovers they can do.” For this night only, there will be special pricing on some of the spa treatments. Call for details. La Jolla’s SK Sanctuary has 35 employees, including estheticians (who provide facials), laser nurses, RNs, hairstylists and manicurists, plus massage therapists who offer a gamut of massage techniques, including lipo massage, which reduces cellulite and chemical peels. “We do laser treatments, skin resurfacing and

injections like fillers and Botox,” Krant said. “And we also do acne treatments and have a huge copper tub available for mud baths.” New treatments include a 4-layer facial and Sculptra, which is a brand new injection. “It’s not a filler; it goes deeper into the bone in your face and helps fill out the hollows that we get as we age,” Krant said. For more than 10 years, the spa has been offering a breast cancer survivor night every other month. “We close the spa to the public and invite 25-35 breast cancer survivors to have complimentary services,” Krant said. “Just call to get on the list.” — To RSVP for the free “Night of Beauty,” call (858) 459-2400 or email info@sk-sanctuary.com More information at sk-sanctuary.com

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS La Jolla Veterinary Hospital offers decades of premier pet health care By Marti Gacioch With more 60 years of pet healthcare experience, client care remains the top priority at La Jolla Veterinary Hospital, and that sets the facility far apart from its competitors, according to Stephanie Coolidge, hospital manager. “Our core values, the best veterinary medicine possible and client care are what we talk about here every day; they’re very important to us,” Coolidge said. In business since 1948, La Jolla Veterinary Hospital provides basic pet healthcare services, as well as preventative veterinary medicine, surgery, animal dentistry (including teeth cleaning and extractions), radiology (with a state of the art X-ray machine), boarding, grooming and house calls for veterinary services. “People have been coming to us for generations,” Coolidge said. “We have grandkids who come here, and Dr. Seals will have known their parents and sometimes their grandparents.” Owner Dr. Julie Breher, DVM, attended The Bishop’s School and has been a part of the La Jolla community for many years. She attended the University of California, Davis where she earned her veterinary degrees before practicing in Las Vegas. In Oct. 2010 she returned to La Jolla and purchased the facility from Dr. Marilyn Seals, DVM, who works as her fulltime associate. In addition to her D.V.M., Dr. Breher holds a master’s degree in P.V.A. (preventative veterinary care). Dr. Lidja Gilmeister, D.V.M. rounds out the team of three veterinarians. Gilmeister is known for her column in the “La Jolla Light.” The facility has 20 employees ranging from the three veterinarians to the veterinary assistants, an administrative staff and a boarding staff. The veterinary team is especially skilled in treating geriatric pets. “Once a dog reaches seven years of age, that’s considered a geriatric dog, and we actually have healthcare plans for

Country Day earns state championship

or the first time since 2002, the La Jolla County Day girls basketball team can once more call themselves the best in California. The Torreys — with only one loss all season long — topped Salesian High School last weekend to win the California Interscholastic Federation’s Division IV state championship. And they did it with ease, throttling Salesian (Richmond), 72-41, at the Power Balance Pavillion in Sacramento. The Torreys were ranked as high as No. 8 in the nation by USA Today, losing only once, to Long Beach Poly, way back on Dec. 30. In the title game last Friday, the Torreys got off to fast start in large part by Kelsey Plum, who knocked down two 3-pointers in the early stages of the contest to set the pace. Plum, a junior, led all scorers with 32 points. The game was all but over by halftime as Country Day led 3310. The Torreys led by at least 20 points the rest of the game en route to the 31-point victory. Sisters Maya and Malina Hood also had huge games as Maya went for 19 points and 13 rebounds while Malina added 10 points. The duo, who will graduate later this year, will head to the University of San Diego to begin their college basketball careers. The finals appearance for the Torreys was the team’s first since 2008, but the championship is the first since the 2002 season when they were led by current WNBA standout Candice Wiggins.

La Jolla Country Day’s Maya Hood goes up for a shot last weekend against Salesian High School.

UC San Diego’s move to Division I gets ‘no’ vote By Phil Dailey After a vote that took more than two weeks by UC San Diego undergraduates, the Tritions will not be moving to the highest level of college athletics. UCSD students voted from Feb. 27 to March 6 for an increase in their student fees that would, by and large, fund the move from Division II to Division I athletics. The referendum, which called for a hike in undergraduate student fees of $495 annually, was shot down by an overwhelming margin. The school needed to increase the athletic budget to make the move, an annual hike of about $7-$8 million. The current athletic budget is nearly $7.5 million, far less than other UC Division I schools. According to the school’s newspaper, The Guardian, nearly 11,500 students voted and about 60 percent of them voted against the student fee increase. The Tritons currently compete in Division II and are members of the California Collegiate Athletic Association whose other members include Cal Poly, Cal State East Bay, Cal

State Los Angeles, Cal State San Bernardino and Chico State, to name a few. UC San Diego is the lone member of the CCAA which is operated under the University of California system. Had the referendum been approved with a majority of “yes” votes, UCSD would have likely moved to the Big West Conference, which includes several similar institutions such as UC Irvine, UC Davis, UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara. UCSD Athletic Director Earl Edwards told the Light last month that a “no” vote would essentially stop any efforts to move from Division II to Division I. Currently, UCSD is the largest university that competes at the Division I level with its enrollment at nearly 30,000 students. “When we are talking about moving to Division I, we are talking about competing with like institutions,” Edwards said. “We should be in the same conference with those schools.” For now, however, UC San Diego will stay put in Division II.

LJYB Pony Division builds bridge to high school baseball success By Tom Murphy LJYB Teenagers are busy. There is no better explanation for the drop off in the number of players who register for Pony baseball every year. There is plenty of competition for the time and talent of teens as they begin to narrow their athletic commitments to one or two sports with an eye on making a team in high school. LJYB is happy to field three teams for the past few seasons, which is more than the surrounding leagues in the region. The fact remains that the herd thins after Pinto, with year-round programs popping up everywhere and sports such as lacrosse and water polo taking off in Southern California. LJYB is cognizant of the excellent choices available to kids and works hard to keep players engaged and enthusiastic about baseball at each division. With 33 players registered in Pony, there is

a unique challenge and opportunity that contributed to the formation of SD Metro Pony Inter-League (www.leaguelineup.com/ sdponyinterleague). LJYB Pony President Paul Delmore, a veteran team manager and board member, worked closely with his counterparts at Tecolote, North City, Mira Mesa and High Tech Middle to form an 11team regional league with games played at four different venues. The idea of “home and away” games gives the kids an experience prior to working their way on to a high school squad. This year, instead of sending Pony All Star teams to the Tecolote Memorial Day Tournament, the SD Metro Pony Inter-League will host a championship tournament, which everyone agrees will be a much more fun way to wrap up the season. n For more on La Jolla Youth Baseball’s Pony Division, go to www.lajollalight.com

10 QUESTIONS

Sunny La Jolla suits science and business leader Audrey Keane Audrey Keane was born in Columbus, Ohio, and studied biology and chemical engineering at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. After working for Diamond Shamrock and Genzyme during its start-up phase, she attended the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and earned an M.B.A. Keane has lived in La Jolla for 25 years, working for a variety of biotechnology companies, Audrey Keane including Quidel, Telios, Sequana Therapeutics, Genset and Genteon. Highlights include negotiating corporate partnerships with pharmaceutical companies, participating in IPOs, and the international experience of working with Paris-based Genset. During recent years, she has been involved in volunteer activities with local schools, was a Girl Scout leader, and is currently chair of the La Jolla Shores Association. What brought you to La Jolla? When I was looking for a job in the biotechnology industry, La Jolla was one of the premier centers for start-ups. After spending my entire life in cold climates, La Jolla seemed like paradise. What makes this area special to you? It’s the ocean, beaches, and Torrey Pines running trails. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? It would be great if we could eliminate leaf blowers. They are outrageously noisy and most people just use them to spread dirt to the street or their neighbor’s yards. Who or what inspires you? My father. He is a retired aerospace engineer, who in spite of breaking his back 10 years ago, continues to live a full life. He exercises daily, volunteers for the animal shelter, and sends me a joke every day. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

Three members of the local Pullharder Alpine Club recently scaled 13,000-foot peaks in California’s High Sierra Mountains.

Climber: California’s High Sierras will take you closer to God By Dave Schwab a Jolla mountaineers find they can push harder by banding together. Which is what it’s all about for The Pullharder Alpine Club, three of whose members recently conquered Evolution Traverse, a daunting fourday, eight-mile climb along nine 13,000-foot peaks in California’s High Sierras. “Why this climb is important is that it’s the Ben Horne first time any of those traverses (series of peaks) has been completed in the winter,” said Ben Horne, a UC San Diego political science grad student who, along with colleagues Konstantin Stoletov and

Shay Har-Noy, accomplished the feat in early March despite nighttime temperatures as low as -7 degrees F and winds as high as 90 mph while trudging through waist-deep snow. “You summit one (peak) after another without going off the ridge,” Horne said of the alpine climb noting weather and terrain combine to make it an exceedingly difficult task. “The ridge can be very narrow,” he said. “Warm sleeping bags are mandatory while cramped pup tents are the reality. One night we couldn’t even find a spot big enough for our tent, so a ledge on the rock is where we had to sleep. You have to stay close and stay warm, drink warm liquids to heat up. That’s the biggest challenge: the temperature.” Horne, a La Jolla Shores resident, said he began climbing as a Boy Scout and acquired a passion for

As snails move they leave behind slime. This slime is like a powerful form of suction for them. This is why they are even able to move upside down, around corners, and other comical situations. It is a myth that this type of slime is going to make humans ill. Many people worry that snails being in their garden will ruin the foods grown there and make them unfit for consumption, but that is all false. The life span for snails depends on their habitat and the species. Some of them only live for about 5 years. However, others in the wild are believed to be at least 25 years old. Many researchers believe the life span of snails is decreasing due to humans destroying their habitat and due to pollution. — snail-world.com

April Fools’ weird and wacky food stories … True or False? asinine antics for centuries. This Kitchen Shrink is in on the foolheartedness with a handful of bizarre food events, all true except for a solitary story. No kidding. You try to guess the hoax.

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

pring fever seems to trigger light-hearted celebrations and other acts of tomfoolery. Many cultures around the world launch the season with shenanigans, starting with the Romans who created a festival they belovedly named Hilaria on March 25, rejoicing in the resurrection of Attis. The Hindu calendar gremlins kick up their heels with Holi, and the Jewish people do at Purim. The origin of April Fools’ Day in the western world is ridiculously vague, but folks have been performing

Meteorite Mead: Aged Wine That’s Out of This World An Englishman blended his pair of passions — astronomy and winemaking by creating Meteorito, a Cabernet Sauvignon that was fermented with a 4.5 million-year-old meteorite. For a sample of Meteorito, visit Ian Hutcheon’s observatory in Chile called the Centro Astrononomica Tagua Tagua, the only spot on Earth that serves the ageold libation. Bypass on a Bun Gluttony karma struck a patron at the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas when he suffered cardiac arrest while stuffing his face with a 6,000-calorie Triple Bypass Burger.

Mock Chocolate Mousse

■ Ingredients • 2 medium-size ruby yams, peeled and cut in cubes • 1 medium banana • 2 ounces of bittersweet chocolate • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract The restaurant owner’s response was caveat emptor — let the buyer beware, since there was a warning sign for customers posted outside: “Go away. If you come to this place, it’s going to kill you.” Fortunately, the patron survived the arteryclogging triple bypass burger, but will likely need the real triple bypass procedure. Eat Your Words A chef from Limoges, France, has collaborated with a Paris publisher to create an edible newspaper called Le Delicieux Daily. The ink flavors include black licorice,

Remembering Georgeanna Lipe with admiration and fondness By Patricia Daly-Lipe pon learning of the March 23 death of Georgeanna Lipe, Dick Stephen-Hassard wrote that her passing marked “the end of the La Jolla-era as we knew it.” This was an era when La Jollans were known for who they were, not what they owned. Creativity was at its height and Georgeanna epitomized that concept. She spent hours looking at the surf, the sands, the trees swaying in the wind, and translated La Jolla into watercolor delights. Truly, La Jolla has just lost its last living legend of the 20th century. Georgeanna peacefully passed away just a month-and-a-half before her 103rd birthday.

The Early Years Georgeanna (born Anna White) began her career as a medical illustrator, first at Vanderbilt University, then at the University of Rochester School of Medicine in Rochester, N.Y. She began watercolor painting soon after she and her husband,

These three La Jolla legends have now passed — Artist Georgeanna Lipe (left), actor Cliff Robertson and Barbara Dawson, the first president of the La Jolla Historical Society. Dr. J.T. Lipe, moved to La Jolla in 1936. Her work is exhibited nationally. She was an active member of Watercolor West, San Diego Watercolor Society, San Diego Art Institute, and Western Federation of Art. Once a year, she joined a group of East Coast artists and traveled to parts of the world outside

the United States to paint. Georgeanna’s paintings are found in galleries, banks, hospitals and private collections, as well as on postcards and notecards. In the late 1920s, early ’30s, Anna decided to attend Vanderbilt Medical School. Her goal was to become a medical illustrator. Few

women attended medical school in those days. In fact, one summer she attended an anatomy class and was the only female student. Despite the teasing, she succeeded, passed the course and realized her objective. The post-Depression years were hard. Anna had married a young doctor from

Vanderbilt who was serving his residency in Rochester. He was making $25 a month so his young bride stayed home with her parents in Nashville. This lasted only one year. Feisty Anna was not going to be away from her husband one more year.

FROM Georgeanna, B13 She went up to Rochester from Nashville to be with her husband. They lived in one small room on the third floor of a house not far from the hospital and had to climb upstairs to use a bathroom, which they had to share with another young couple. Using her initiative and skill, the young bride earned the necessary extra income by creating cards, invitations, and announcements using calligraphy and drawings for churches and organizations in Rochester.

Georgeanna Lipe offered her water color images for the La Jolla Light’s note-card gift to subscribers in the 1980s. The images captured iconic views of the town. FILE

practice. In response to an ad in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the Lipes drove blindly, having no idea exactly where they were going, across the United States in 1936 (no super highways, no regular pit stops or gas stations) to a place called La Jolla. En route, Anna “renamed” herself and became Georgeanna, after her father, George, and her mother, Anna. After raising two of her

three children, Georgeanna began experimenting with oil painting, but it was watercolor that captured her fancy. She became a living legend in La Jolla with her paintings being used for art festival posters and purchased for businesses. She began receiving commissions faster than she could fill them. In her mid-80s, she also opened The Artists Gallery on Girard. Over the years, Georgeanna traveled the world, always

with her paints at her side. One year her art group went to Italy. After climbing the hills of Tuscany for 10 days, she returned to the states by air, only to be met in New York with a wheelchair. Sure, she accepted it, laughing all the way through customs, beating her friends and delighting in the joke. If only the airline stewards knew where she had been and what she had done! But then, 90year-olds aren’t supposed to

climb mountains, are they? Although during her final years she was physically encumbered by old age, you would never meet a more sweet, happy, always cheerful lady. Perhaps it is just this cheerfulness that is the lesson to learn from Georgeanna Lipe. She will be missed, but her spirit will reign over La Jolla forever. — Patricia Daly-Lipe is the daughter-in-law of Georgeanna Lipe.

On the Web ■P ullharder Alpine Club pullharder.org ■B en Horne’s blog about his latest Sierra Mountains climb http://zoomloco. wordpress.com FROM CLIMBERS, B1 high-altitude hikes while with the Peace Corps in the Asian Himalayas a decade ago. That experience “spoiled” him. “Summer in the Sierras is too easy when you’ve been climbing in the Himalayas,” he said. “Winter in the Sierras is the challenge. I felt it was the only season comparable to the environment I knew about.” Horne said Pullharder, a group of about 25 likeminded high-altitude, wintertime hikers, is less about ego and more about joining collectively to extend individually. “We wanted to push ourselves, but we’re all everyday people,” he said. “It’s not our profession, our career. It’s an interest — serious play, but it’s play. We might go on to bigger things. But that’s not the goal. We live here and we

Left: La Jolla Shores resident Ben Horne, along with colleagues Konstantin Stoletov and Shay Har-Noy, recently completed a winter ascent of the Sierra Mountains using the Evolution Traverse route, which Horne says is the biggest and most daunting High Sierra technical climb yet to be completed in winter. Above: Ben Horne and Shay Har-Noy strike the Pullharder Alpine Club pose after reaching the first peak of the traverse, with eight more ahead. COURTESY PHOTOS enjoy the mountains in our backyard.” Though its goals may be lofty, Pullharder’s two-part vision is simple. “Push yourself — and don’t cut corners,” said Horne. “We want to do bigger and harder things, but we want to do them in the right way.” He said high-altitude climbing can be spiritual. “For me it’s almost a

religious experience. The mountains are a way for me to understand God, or at least, glimpse a little bit of God.” Horne said that out there in the pristine winter wilderness alone on a mountaintop, “it’s incredibly peaceful … quiet. You can see the animal footprints everywhere in the snow. It’s all to yourself. It’s kind of amazing.”

The Gift of Art

Museums celebrate bequest of $40 million collection MCASD Director Hugh Davies stands beside ‘Century,’ a 1975 white painting by Robert Ryman, which he called ‘probably the most valuable piece in the whole collection.’ Photos by Maurice Hewitt

OPEN AT 4:00PM, DINNER AT 5:00PM RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED VALET PARKING AVAILABLE

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt On March 21, the town’s two largest art institutions — Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the San Diego Museum of Art — celebrated a grand-scale gift from the estate of longtime La Jolla residents Vance E. Kondon and his wife, Elisabeth Giesberger. The occasion was a preview of selected works from the Kondon-Giesberger Collection for museum trustees and media, with brief introductions. A devoted art collector, Dr. Kondon served several terms on MCASD’s Board of Trustees between 1971 and 1981, and his bequest to the contemporary museum includes 30 important minimalist and abstract works from the 1950s to the early 1980s. SDMA received 48 German Expressionist paintings, drawings and prints from the modernist period around World War I. Kondon had a history of loaning pieces to local venues,

But when he and his Dutch-born wife relocated to the Netherlands, the collection went with them. Now, since the deaths of both of them (his in 1997, hers in 2011) many of the works in the $40 million collection he amassed over decades in San Diego have come back home. “The gift was a complete surprise,” said MCASD Director Hugh Davies. “Vance Kondon was a passionate art-lover, but after he left for Amsterdam in the early ’90s, though we always sent him copies of our newsletters, we thought he was through with us. This is literally a dream come true, to have a collection of this caliber fall into our lap.” SDMA Director Roxana

MCASD grants and art writer Robert Pincus (center), is flanked by SDMA marketing pros Carrie Jones and Jon Bailey. ‘I like seeing the two museums collaborating!’ Pincus said.

SDMA’s John Marciari, who is curating the German Expressionist exhibit, poses before Brice Marden’s 1982 ‘Green Study’ with Melissa Kondon, the donor’s daughter. Velasquez spoke of the relationship between philanthropists and museums. “Collectors can buy art,” she said, “but they cannot possess it.” Some of the minimalist works are now on view downtown as part of MCASD’s “Iconic” show, curated by Kathryn Kanjo. “I took the most prominent theme in the collection, ‘reductive abstraction’ — reducing art to its essential qualities, line and form — and based the show around

that, using only pieces that fit that theme,” Kanjo said. “All of these artists are interested in math and systems. Their pieces are very contemplative; they want you to spend time analyzing what they’re about.” The German Expressionist works, which John Marciari, SDMA’s Curator of European Art, called “shockingly good,” will be featured in a comprehensive show of German Expressionism called “The Human Beast,” opening at SDMA July 21.

Neuman & Neuman are No.1 OPEN HOMES THIS WEEKEND in San Diego Real Estate Prudential California Realty congratulates Gregg and Debbie Neuman for their sales achievements in 2011. Together with their team, Gregg and Debbie Neuman ranked No. 1 for both their sales production and the number of transactions conducted last year, out of more than 1,300 Prudential agents in San Diego County. “Over the past 30 years, the Neuman name has become synonymous with ethical representation and comprehensive real estate assistance,” noted David Cabot, president and CEO of Prudential. “Their outstanding reputation in the real estate community is very well deserved.” The Neuman Team also received one of Prudential Real Estate and Relocation Services’ highest honors in 2011, the Pinnacle award. The award recognizes agents for ranking in the national top 10 for sales production or transactions over a given year, out of more than 54,000 Prudential agents.

The award is based on client satisfaction as reported in a recent homebuyer and real estate industry survey of San Diego residents who purchased a home priced over $250,000 within the past year. Agents were evaluated based on nine criteria: customer service, communication, finding the right home, integrity, negotiation, marketing the home, market knowledge, closing preparation and overall satisfaction. Agents were screened to verify that licenses with the State of California Real Estate Commission’s database were current and no disciplinary actions were pending. The qualifying agents were reviewed by a panel of experts comprised of realty company executives, professional and trade associations and others involved with housing-related businesses.
