Community says: Post Office should become civic center By Dave Schwab La Jollans could visualize their Wall Street post office building redeveloped as a visitor, civic or cultural center but not as a restaurant or movie theater. That was the consensus of more than 100 attendees at the March 29 public forum and panel discussion organized to “re-image” alternative uses for the federal facility. The financially strapped U.S. Postal Service in January announced plans to close the facility at 1140 Wall St., sell the building, and relocate services elsewhere in the Village. Shortly thereafter, a community Save La Jolla Post Office Task Force was formed to thwart the post office’s plans. The group has since filed to have the Depression-era building and its interior Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) mural by Members of the Save La Jolla Belle Baranceau Post Office Task Force rally at declared “historic” the March 29 forum. for protection. The task force’s intent has been to keep the facility as it is, where it is. Failing that, the objective would be to create a nonprofit to purchase the building, or to find a sympathetic buyer willing to preserve it. The “re-imagine” event had a festive, playful tone with versions of the tune “Mr. Postman” playing in the background prior to introductions by First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner. The La Jolla Historical Society hosted the meeting. “We don’t want to lose another historical treasure,” said Lightner. “We’ve had that experience far too often in La Jolla.” SEE POST OFFICE, A5

Kudos to the Sternberg Family and Lance Greer In early March, a landscaper named Lance Greer (owner of Lance Greer Consulting) voluntarily planted a garden inside the Bird Rock Elementary campus. His landscaping skills can be seen all around our community, including the plants in front of Beaumont’s and Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. The Sternberg family donated the money to pay for the plants. It is very good to see people coming out and helping our community. Before Mr. Greer worked his magic, that school area was a broken eyesore, just dirt and roots. Now, as you can see, that same area is beautiful and puts a smile on the faces of the teachers and parents as they walk by to the kindergarten classes. It will be called The Steinberg Garden. — Kieran M. Bauman, student

FROM Dalai Lama, A1 the Dalai Lama’s needs are modest in comparison, organizers say. “He’s always one to say he’s a simple monk and that’s been reflected in the simplicity of the arrangements that are required,” said Diana Kutlow, a senior program officer with USD’s Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice, who is overseeing the Dalai Lama’s appearance in the university’s 4,500-seat Jenny Craig Pavilion. The Dalai Lama is scheduled to speak on topics of relevance to each of the universities during his mini tour, dubbed “Compassion Without Borders.” At UC San Diego, the Dalai Lama’s first stop, he will take part in a panel discussion with the university’s leading scientists on the global impact of climate change. “We’ve been informed through his representatives that he really wanted to tie issues like climate change to universal responsibility and compassion,” DeVries said. “He also wanted to meet with scientists on the issue of human consciousness … the neurosciences, things of that nature.” At USD, the Dalai Lama will discuss nonviolent approaches

Who is a Dalai Lama? ■ The Dalai Lama (age 61) is the 14th spiritual leader of Tibet. He is believed to be the latest reincarnation of a series of spiritual leaders who chose to be reborn to enlighten others. ■B orn in northeastern Tibet, he was discovered by monks at age 2 and tested to see if he possessed physical traits such as moles and long ears characteristic of the 13th Dalai Lama. Passing muster, he was renamed Tenzin Gyatso and took the throne at age 4. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to establish a peaceful resolution to help liberate Tibet from Chinese rule.

to cultivating peace and justice in a violent world. Kutlow said the Institute for Peace and Justice has issued several invitations for the Dalai Lama to visit through the years. It was his personal peace emissary, Lama Tenzin Dhonden (who has a home near Lake Elsinore and family in San Diego), that helped facilitate this month’s visit, she said. Kutlow said his visit, “ties into our feeling that students can be and should be positive forces for change.” In preparation of the Dalai Lama’s visit, USD students and educators have scheduled an

array of events — from a Tibetan film festival and reading of the Dalai Lama’s book “Toward a True Kinship of Faiths” to a mural being painted by youth from a local migrant camp. “We had a really exceptional response from the campus,” Kutlow said. “Different departments are creating their own activities to educate and inform the campus community before his visit. We want the students to have some understanding of who he is and what he stands for — then they can really benefit.” Karma Lekshe Tsomo, a Buddhist nun and associate

professor of theology and religious studies at USD, lived for 15 years in the town of Dharamshala, where the Dalai Lama has resided since being exiled from Tibet during a failed uprising in 1959. She has met with him there and elsewhere numerous times throughout the years. Tsomo will greet the Dalai Lama at USD upon his arrival. Beyond his compassion and intelligence, she said the Dalai Lama also possesses a sharp, self-effacing sense of humor. “I am very much looking forward to meeting him again,” Tsomo said. “All the students are so excited and we’re gathering many wonderful questions that they have to ask him.” Tsomo said she believes the “great moral exemplar” will send a message to students “that one can be both successful and ethical. “Some of the most important virtues are the most simple ones, like love, kindness and compassion,” she said. “To meet someone who embodies these, and great wisdom, I think is very inspiring for everyone, especially for young students who are living in very troubled world, with a very uncertain future.”

A four-person panel that included postal historian Diane Kane, architect Rob Quigley, Athenaeum director Erika Torri and community

We don’t want to lose “ another historical treasure. We’ve had that experience far too often in La Jolla.

”

— Sherri Lightner

First District Councilwoman activist Joe LaCava, spoke out on re-adaptive uses of the Wall Street building. “My fantasy is to see this become our civic center,” Kane said. “We have no meeting place in town, no governmental center. It would be really nice to have this be that civic core.” LaCava, who’s been lobbying local legislators to save La Jolla’s postal facility, said, “This is a bipartisan issue. It’s a tough battle but we’ve got a good start and we’re at full steam right now.” Torri said a prospective takeover of the postal building by a nonprofit would necessitate creation of an endowment to fund ongoing operations and maintenance of the facility. “It would be really wonderful to have a historical building

on the other side of Wall Street that could be used for community activities, maybe a small theater or an art or exhibit space,” she said. Quigley added that the most important goal in readapting the post office building would be to “free up some economic benefit without violating its integrity.” “It’s so delightful to have a project that everybody is behind,” he said. One new suggestion from the audience was that the post office could be reused as a full-blown La Jolla Visitors Center, a use that doesn’t require much parking and would create a community focal point. Audience members also doubted that parking would be sufficient for a bistro or retail use in the area.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 5, 2012 - Page A7

Merchants divided on future of monthly car show By Pat Sherman A monthly car show on Girard Avenue has drawn both praise and criticism from merchants in the La Jolla Village. The event, titled Nuts4Cars, began last year with five shows that each drew between 30 and 60 auto exhibitors, said organizer Howard Singer. Bookstore owner Nancy Warwick and Realtor Claudette Berwin expressed displeasure with the event during last August’s meeting of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA). Though the event was originally held in the 7800 block of Girard Avenue, between Silverado and Wall streets, March’s show was moved a block south to accommodate some merchants’ concerns about a shortage of customer parking and other issues. The event, held one Sunday per month from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., has thus far taken place without a city permit or street closure — something Singer said he felt was unnecessary. “I’m very concerned about people walking around the cars in the street,” said Claudette Berwin, of Gallery Properties. “I’m also opposed to loitering — people sitting in chairs in the street next to their cars and on the sidewalks. I don’t think that’s conducive to the Village atmosphere and the merchants. “I’ve always believed that it’s a great event,” added Berwin, who sits on the LJVMA board of directors, “but it needs to be moved to a different location.” LJVMA board president Phil Coller said organizers of events, such as Nuts4Cars, are required by the city to obtain a special events permit. However, to obtain a permit an event must first receive the approval of community boards such as the LJVMA, Traffic and Transportation and the La Jolla Community

Planning Association. Singer says his frustration lies with the LJVMA, and that Coller and the organization’s executive director, Rosemary Murrieta, refused to meet with him — though Nuts4Cars was recently placed on the LJVMA’s April meeting agenda. The LJVMA board lent its unanimous approval to the La Jolla Historical Society’s upscale annual car show, Concours d’Elegance, which took place last weekend. “The merchants association has no objection to events being held in the Village, as long as they follow city regulations, and will assist people, if possible, if they follow the city’s regulations and permit process,” Coller said. “We’ve sent Howard, at his request, our procedures for holding events.” Coller said the LJVMA also asks those requesting the association’s buy-in to obtain the approval of 80 percent of the merchants or businesses that will be impacted by their event. Last week, Singer received signatures from 17 of 18 merchants in the 7700 block of Girard Avenue who support Nuts4Cars. Bob Meanley, owner of Meanley’s Ace Hardware, was among the signatories. Though Meanley doesn’t work on Sundays, he said his staff reported favorably on Nuts4Cars. “They seemed to think it was a fun, interesting event that made being in La Jolla on Sunday a more interesting

experience,” Meanley said. “Business didn’t appear to be hurt by it.” Meanley said Singer promised to leave some parking open for his customers. “I appreciate that cooperation,” Meanley said. Michael McConnell, owner of the Coin Shop on Girard, said he is closed Sundays, but came in to his shop during Singer’s last event and had a chance to walk around and experience the car show, including an old police paddy wagon on display. “I thought that was really cool,” McConnell said. “It really seemed like people were enjoying (the show). I didn’t see any reason, really, to not support it.” Local radio personality and La Jolla Rotary Club President Ron Jones served as emcee for Singer’s March event. “I think it’s a good thing for the Village,” Jones said. “It brings traffic and I’m surprised that the merchants association didn’t jump on board immediately to support him.

“Every other city has these (car shows), and it’s a Sunday morning. Who’s going to be impacted?” Following a March 28 meeting with officials in the city’s Special Events Department, Singer at first said he was not certain whether he planned to continue holding his event in the Village. Carolyn Wormser, executive director of the city’s Special Events Department, said that if Singer’s “event footprint and activities are all identical in nature,” he can apply for a series permit, which costs $150 and is good for one calendar year. “He’ll go through the same process that everybody else does,” she said. “It will be reviewed by the various departments that are affected by what he wants to do — police, fire, emergency, risk management — and the police department will provide him with a signage list and equipment list for closing the street. “He will need to work with the community on mitigating the impacts and working out kind of a community relations plan with them.” Singer also would need to obtain commercial general liability insurance to receive a permit. With registration fees of $25 to $35 per car, Nuts4Cars shows bring in anywhere from $750 to $1,500 per month, minus expenses such as $225 to purchase gift cards for the winners and up to $125 for fliers.

Real Estate

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas

Personal Photos: To Remove or Keep out When Selling your House Using personal photos to decorate the walls and tables are common in homes. But when you are showing your house for sale, can those personal photos become a turnoff to potential buyers? Real estate professionals and stagers differ on how much of a distraction personal photos can be. Some in the industry strongly advise their clients to remove all personal photos. After all they say, you want potential buyers to be able to visualize themselves living in your home and not be distracted by seeing your photos of vacations, weddings and family reunions. Others in the industry say, “why not?” They argue the photos actually make a house feel more warm, inviting and feel more like a real home. Even some new builder model homes have incorporated personal photos in the decor to personalize the spaces more. As with all things in life, moderation is probably the key. A few photos well grouped and hung or placed on a table, will probably be an enhancement for the house. Walls of photos and mega collections of frames on a table, may distract your buyer from seeing the room as they might live in it. Just remember though, if you do take down walls of pictures, don’t leave holes and scuff marks. Make sure you patch and paint that area to give an impression of a well cared for home.

Singer said he plans to start making regular donations from the car shows to the San Diego Police Officer’s Association’s Widows & Orphans Fund, starting with a check for about $550 this month. However, Singer said that at “70 years young” he doesn’t feel like going through the red tape of applying for a permit. “It’s a long process; a long ordeal,” he said. Singer said resistance from community groups could make it impossible for him to

obtain the community buy-in required by the city to obtain a permit, placing him in a “catch 22” scenario. “If they insist on a permit and a permit cannot be obtained, we’ll just take our event to a shopping center,” Singer said, noting that he was considering parking lots at the Costa Verde shopping center and at Westfield UTC mall. At press time, Singer said all shows have been postponed for the foreseeable future. The website, nuts4cars.org, is offline.

It’s a wrap!

Senior creates film festival for La Jolla High students

Aspiring filmmaker Julian Clark

By Linda Hutchison La Jolla High School is about to host its first annual film festival, thanks to senior and aspiring filmmaker Julian Clark. The event will be held Friday, May 11 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium and is open to the public. All current La Jolla High students are welcome to submit a film or video for the festival, as long as they enter by May 1 and follow two rules: the video must be under 10 minutes in length and it must include at least one potato. Why a potato? “It’s an object anyone can acquire easily,” said Julian. Whether the talent to create winning videos is as easily acquired will be a matter for the judges to decide. In addition to himself, Julian has lined up two surf film producers, Peter King and Ira Opper, to judge the entries. Winners will receive cash prizes and trophies. Julian’s talent for creating videos has evolved since his freshman year, when he first became interested in shooting and editing them on his laptop. “I would carry my computer around, using its camera,” he said. “Since then, it has become a huge passion. I’ve progressed from using iMovie on a small computer to Final Cut Pro Solution on an iMac.”

“In the future, I see the film festival growing even bigger,” he said, “big enough to include other schools in order to really create a film festival for the youth of La Jolla, even all of San Diego! I am very excited with this project and I can’t wait to see how it expands in the coming years.” Julian, who will be 18 on graduation day, June 12, plans to study filmmaking in Brussels, Belgium. Although he has lived in La Jolla since he was 2, he was born in Belgium to a Belgian mother and American father, has dual citizenship, and speaks French. Originally he thought he’d like to study film editing, but now is interested in doing it all, from producing to directing, “from step one to the ending.” He also enjoys studying psychology, particularly the study of mental disorders, and psychological thrillers, such as “Memento.” While Julian has created most of the promotional materials for the film festival himself, he has received support and encouragement from La Jolla High teacher and Associated Student Body Advisor Kerry Dill and Student Body President Erik Vanstrum. There will be a $5 entry fee for the festival, payable at the door.

Need Details? ■ F or more information on submitting an entry or attending the festival, visit Facebook.com/LJHSFilmFest

Along the way he has also added a professional video camera, lenses, lights, and sound equipment, requiring a huge bag to carry it all. To pay for his equipment, Julian started doing freelance jobs, including shooting weddings and a music video – “Trouble” – for the band Neverready. Currently, he is working on a documentary for Los Angeles-based fashion designer Lloyd Klein and has formed his own company, Foreground Productions. “The last two years have been amazing,” said Julian. As his own love for filmmaking grew, Julian said, he realized that there was not a lot of collaboration with other student filmmakers. “I wanted to reach out, bring other film lovers together,” he said, and so the idea of holding a film festival seemed like a good way to accomplish this. “I hope to leave a legacy,” he added. He also hopes the festival will expand.

Committee turns thumbs down on proposed student center By Dave Schwab The La Jolla Shores Permit Review (LJSPR) committee said no on March 27 to a requested street vacation necessary for a downsized Hillel Jewish Student Center project proposed on a triangular plot across from the UCSD campus in a single-family neighborhood. LJSPR voted 5 in favor, 1 opposed, with 2 abstensions, on a motion that findings could not be made to support the street vacation. Michael Morton cast the sole dissenting vote favoring the vacation. The student center, originally proposed in 2000 at 12,000 square feet, has since been downscaled to 6,600 square feet by Hillel, the developer and property owner. Hillel is now running the revamped project back through the community-review process. Hillel presently rents space on campus. “We’re here today to discuss a technicality, this is really a paper street,” said Joshua Richman representing Hillel, of the 0.76acre lot known as Site 653 on a cul-de-sac on the south side of La Jolla Village Drive between Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Scenic Way. “This (street) vacation was already approved once previously by the city council.” Richman defended Hillel’s street vacation

The proposed Jewish Student Center site is currently a vacant lot on the south side of La Jolla Village Drive between Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Scenic Way. Dave Schwab request, arguing it complied with all the necessary conditions including not violating a public right-of-way while constituting a public benefit, as well as not adversely impacting the community’s land-use plan. Four parking places on the cul-de-sac

would be replaced with sidewalks and a public park, which would be maintained by Hillel, said Richman. Richman’s arguments for the street vacation were countered by Julie Hamilton, an attorney representing a citizens group, Tax-

payers For Responsible Land Use. “This cul-de-sac is currently being used by vehicles and for parking,” she said, noting that does violate a public right-of-way, adding the alleged public benefit (a park) comes at a great cost — loss of on-street parking. Hamilton argued the street vacation also violates the community plan, which she said intended this triangular parcel to serve as an open-space buffer between the university and the residential neighborhood. Committee member Morton disagreed. “A community park that’s going to be dedicated to public use is a higher value for public land than on-street parking based upon what is written in our community plan,” he said. Committee member Delores Donovan agreed a public park would be highly desirable, but “not at the cost of a student facility in a single-family residential neighborhood.” Several neighbors at the LJSPR meeting spoke out on the student center, some in favor, others opposed. “I think it will only improve the neighborhood,” said Suzan Shmalo. The committee’s advisory vote will now be forwarded to the La Jolla Community Planning Association, the group making land-use recommendations to the city, for further review.

‘Glitch’ slightly delays construction of lifeguard tower at La Jolla Shores By Dave Schwab A technical glitch in construction of the new lifeguard tower in La Jolla Shores has caused a temporary delay in the project, learned La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. at its March 26 meeting. “There are some issues with engineering and steel in the tower,” said Dan Daneri of the City Park and Recreation Department when asked about progress on the construction, which is slated to be complete before summer’s construction moratorium begins after Memorial Day. In other matters: n Shade structure: Committee member Mary Coakley said a bid was received for a proposed shade structure over the “JJ the Whale” sculpture at Kellogg Park to keep it cool enough in summer to allow children to access it. “We got a $40,000 bid from a local vendor who is quite responsive and creative,” she said. “We’ve raised $27,000 of that $40,000 and we need to raise the remainder in the next 10 days to get it installed before summer.” Coakley added $450,000 has also been donated for a new restroom at the north end of Kellogg Park. n 26th annual La Jolla Festival of the Arts: A request was made to allow small-scale, limited promotional use of Scripps Park prior to the June 23-24 art event at UCSD Warren Field. “We’d like to have someone standing in Scripps Park, posed as an art piece,” said Lauren Brunelle, noting the objective is to increase festival attendance. “It would be for a couple of hours on a Saturday or a Sunday out in the park.” Committee members debated the suggestion. Some lauded it as novel, others doubted its appropriateness and whether it would set a precedent for promotion of other events. The group voted 9-1-3 in favor of the proposal. n Next meeting: 4 p.m. Monday, April 23 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

La Jolla Concours D’Elegance a show of fun for fans

he 8th annual, weekend-long La Jolla Concours D’Elegance March 30 through April 1, was a big hit. The event included a free movie night and book signing on Friday, a car tour on Saturday with stops at Naval Base Coronado, The Grand Del Mar Hotel, and Only Yesterday private auto museum in Sorrento Valley. The tour wrapped up with a classic car exhibition at Ellen Browning Scripps Park on Sunday. More than 150 automobiles were judged in 30 specialty car classes. Committee chair Mike Dorvillier said the goal of this year’s car show was to “raise the bar and make it a special event for the community.” Concours proceeds will benefit La Jolla Historical Society and the Monarch School, which serves children impacted by homelessness.

Scientists find blood test may predict heart attack

Research Report By Lynne Friedmann

Self-healing hydrogels One of the fundamental properties of living tissues that allows recovery from repeated damage, is self-healing. Bioengineers have been keen to mimic this in synthetic materials but so far have been unable to develop hydrogels that can rapidly repair when cut. Now, UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering researchers announce a selfhealing hydrogel that binds in seconds, as easily as Velcro, to form a bond strong enough to withstand repeated stretching. Hydrogels consists of linked chains of polymer molecules

that form a flexible, gelatin-like material similar to soft tissues. Researchers pushed the technology forward by using “dangling side chain” molecules that extend like fingers on a hand from the primary structure of the hydrogel network and enable them to grasp one another. This innovation was hit upon after computer simulations revealed that a hydrogel’s ability to self-heal depended on the length of these side chain molecules. In addition, the new hydrogel’s strength and flexibility in an acidic environment — similar to that of the stomach — favors it as an adhesive to heal stomach perforations or for controlled drug delivery. The finding was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. http://bit. ly/wxXBL2 Controlling memory Scripps Research Institute scientists have successfully harnessed neurons in mouse brains, allowing them to partially control a specific memory. The team set out to

manipulate specific memories by inserting two genes into mice; one of which produces receptors that can be chemically triggered to activate a neuron. This technique permits “on-off switching” in neurons involved in the formation of specific memories. The “on” switch was triggered in mice that were then placed in an environment with distinct colors, smells, and textures (Box A). Next, the mice were placed in a different environment (Box B) after receiving the chemical that turned on the neurons associated with the memory for Box A. Mice behaved as if they were forming a hybrid memory that was part Box A and part Box B. An underlying goal of this basic research is to understand what goes wrong in situations of inappropriate perceptions, such as in schizophrenia and posttraumatic stress disorder. The results were reported in the journal Science. http://bit.ly/GJQmrW — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

edical providers can determine if someone is having or has recently had a heart attack, but cannot tell if a patient is on the cusp of having one in the next couple of weeks. This could change in a profound way following a study confirming the presence of abnormally large or misshapen circulating endothelial cells (CEC) in the blood stream in the days leading up to a heart attack. A blood test for telltale CECs could predict a patient’s risk of an imminent heart attack while there is still time to head off a medical crisis. The findings come from a study, involving 50 patients, led by the Scripps Translational Science Institute, which found dramatic differences in CEC levels in heart attack patients

when compared to a healthy control group. CECs were first connected to impending heart attacks back in 1999, but techniques to isolate and study these cells were not available until now. With additional validation, researchers believe a predictive CEC blood test could be developed for commercial use in the next year or two. The findings appear in the journal Science Translational Medicine. http://bit.ly/GGbq2x

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Surf Divas take waves and the business world By Marti Gacioch Their early passion for surfing led twin sisters Izzy and Coco Tihanyi to open La Jolla’s Surf Diva about 16 years ago. Back then it was known as the first surfing school for women. Today, it’s known for its high-quality training that Newsweek magazine termed, “the Starbucks of surf schools.” According to Izzy, the school is best known for its core program — a two-day women’s clinic for beginning surfers held every weekend. “We want to be sure that the women are comfortable on land before going in the water,” Izzy said. “So we spend some time on dry land in an encouraging, comfortable environment, explaining everything and answering questions so they know what to expect.” The school’s primary focus is safety, so instructors first teach women how to carry a board to the water. From there they teach them how to lie on the board, how to paddle it, how to stand up on it, how to ride the waves and how to dismount the board. “We feel it’s very important that everyone goes at her own pace,” Izzy said. “There is no one set goal; we think that even catching waves on your stomach is great, and if you happen to stand up, that’s the icing on the cake.” After the weekend session, surfers can decide if they want to continue improving their skills with a level-two class before tak-

Izzy surfing ing private lessons. The sisters also offer two co-ed surfing camps for youth — La Jolla Surf Camp for ages 5-10, and teen co-ed camp, American Surf Academy, for ages 11-17. There are weeklong surf camps for kids during spring break and one-week surf camps throughout the summer. Surf Diva offers corporate team-building events, bachelorette parties, family gatherings and weddings and organizes Costa Rica surfing trips. — Surf Diva Surf School & Surf Diva Boutique, 2160 Avenida de la Playa.

Free dental implant seminar with Dr. Ismaj Dr. Ismaj and his dental implant team use the most advanced equipment and techniques available to ensure your complete satisfaction, making the experience as pleasant as possible. Learn more about the process at a free seminar, 2-4 p.m. Wednesday, April 18 at the Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. His surgical team is additionally trained in immediate implant placement and sinus lift procedures; therefore, concerns about inadequate bone are no longer a worry for most patients as bone grafting and guided bone regeneration procedures can develop the needed bone in most situations. Tooth roots attach firmly to the jawbone and keep your teeth stable when chewing solid foods. Traditionally, if you were missing a tooth or if one needed to be extracted, the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth would be cut down and the whole thing replaced with a three-crown “bridge.” Dental implants are the modern alternative. Instead of cutting down two perfectly healthy teeth, the practitioner inserts a dental post (dental implant) into the jawbone to replace your missing tooth root. This post becomes solidly fixed into your jaw (like a natural tooth root). Your general

dentist then places a crown onto this artificial tooth root that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth. Traditionally, several missing teeth would have been replaced with a removable partial or full denture. Dental implants can now be used to anchor partial and full dentures. This prevents the slipping, irritation, and pain associated with “floating” partials and dentures. It also prevents the tedious removal of dentures for overnight soaking and cleaning. Dental implants also eliminate the need for dental adhesives. With dental implants, your partials or dentures are firmly anchored to the jawbone, causing them to feel much more like natural teeth. After their healing period, the success rate of dental implants is 94-98 percent. The discomfort involved with receiving a dental implant is similar to that of having a cavity filled. Be assured Dr. Ismaj and his team will take the time to answer all of your questions. — For more information, call Dr. Ismaj at La Jolla Institute of Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry.

Run away from research; it pays so very little Guest Commentary

hannel your inner Willie Nelson and sing with me: “Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be” … academic research scientists. Why is it that science (always referred to in the generBy James al sense) is so revered by poliBonic ticians and the public alike, but the very heart of science — basic research — pays so little. Am I the only one who sees the disconnect? Everyone wants their miracle drugs – to live longer, to grow hair, to have sex when you’re 80. But the impetus for these drugs, the very essence of the question, comes from basic research. This begs the fundamental question of why non-profit research institutions don’t want to pay their employees a livable wage. I’m not talking about having a winter chalet in the Swiss Alps here. I’m talking about a wage that allows a person to have a family and live modestly. As an example: I have worked in academic science for almost 12 years now. Of those 12 years, five have been spent as a supervising lab manager – training undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-docs. With all of this experience and specialized knowledge I rake in a whopping $46,000 a year. I recently read an article stating that, “The typical starting salary for UC San Diego graduates with two years of experience is $48,200 and mid-career professionals with a UC San Diego bachelor’s degree and 15 years of experience typically make $96,700 annually.” That’s with only a bachelor’s degree! Holy cow did I pick the wrong profession.

This lack of pay has recently caused my entire world to come crashing down. I have always lived by the assumption that if you do good work good pay will follow. I just believed that if I kept working I would attain a decent wage that would allow me to provide for a family. At age 38, I have been smacked in the face by the cold reality that this is not the case. What to do? I know what most of you are thinking: Why don’t you just get a job in the private sector (in “industry” as it’s called), or sales, perhaps? Not all of us want to become human robots doing nothing more than drug target screenings to find the next magic pill. Some of us are interested in the fundamental workings of the human body and not simply to find “health” in a new addition to the formulary. Further, if everyone goes into sales drawn by the bigger paycheck, then we are headed toward a world where scientists are all out trying to sell each other things and no one is left to solve the fundamental scientific problems. This, in my view, is a dangerous paradigm for the overall world of science and I’ll use the medical profession as an analogy. There is a serious dearth of general practitioners in this country. Why? Because medical students look at their options and see medical specialties like anesthesiologist or plastic surgeon and think, “I can work fewer hours and make twice to three times as much as a general practitioner.” Who can blame them, right? But, if you think big picture, if the overwhelming majority of medical students take these high-paying specialized paths there will be no one there to do the basic screening of patients, which is where prevention and early diagnosis happens, the most important aspect of medicine and overall health. If everyone in the realm of research is being pulled into “industry” because that is the only place where a livable wage can be found, then

I’m afraid we will be left with swarms of scientists simply spitting out more and more drugs with no one left to focus on “prevention and early diagnosis” (read: basic research). People always counter my argument with the ubiquitous, “But you love it, don’t you?” as if this “love” is supposed to somehow supplant a livable wage. Why can’t I love my job and get paid a fair wage? Why is it that in the science career “love” is factored into the salary equation? I am not asking for the moon here. I’m not naïve. I understand that in our (seemingly at times backward) society some jobs are valued way more than others. I get that. But is it too much to ask that someone with 12 years of experience and a track record of positive results in a highly competitive field be making at least enough to live a decent life in San Diego in the year 2012? Or is this a pipe dream? According to the Insight Center for Community Economic Development a San Diego family consisting of two adults and two children (one infant, one preschooler) requires $76,317 to be self-sufficient. This self-sufficiency measure does not include cable television, vacations, and other extravagances. This is a barebones measurement of the income a family needs to survive with some measure of dignity. Should I allow myself to regret my choice of professions? Have I wasted half my working life in academia? Will I now have to completely change course in order to secure a reasonable wage? These are the questions rattling around in my brain… So, in closing, this is why I caution you “mamas” to not let your “babies” grow up to enter the basic research field. Learn from my mistakes. Tell them to go into hedge-fund management and to care for no one but themselves. This is a profession, and ethos, that this country values. Thanks for reading.

Romney’s home rebuild with car elevator on hold for now By Pat Sherman A report from online news source Politico that showed Mitt Romney’s La Jolla home rebuild plans include an elevator for his cars generated big buzz in political circles last week. Four years ago, the Republican presidential frontrunner’s property holdings were seen as a liability when he was being considered as a vice-presidential running mate for then GOP nominee John McCain. At the time, they owned 14 homes between the two of them, six belonging to Romney. Romney’s rebuild plans include a 3,600-square foot basement, which is larger that the current living space of the home, located at 311 Dunemere Dr. Speaking with the La Jolla Light last week San Diego attorney Matthew A. Peterson, who represents Romney before San Diego city officials in the permitting process, downplayed any implied extravagance and significance of the car elevator. “These are used all the time,” Peterson said. “Public parking lots up in Los Angeles have them. … Here, obviously, it’s going to be in an enclosed garage, so you’re not going to see any of the mechanism. … People are making a bigger deal over it now, obviously, because he’s a (political) target.” Peterson said a home renovation on Spindrift Drive in La Jolla Shores was recently approved with a car lift. “The neighbors wanted to make sure there was plenty of parking off the street and not visible from the street,” he said.

Mitt Romney’s home at 311 Dunemere Dr. A proposed $12 million rebuild would include a 3,600-square foot basement and an automobile lift for Romney’s four-car garage. Pat Sherman Romney’s neighbors on the tight Dunemere Drive cul de sac had similar concerns about parking, which Peterson said led to the addition of the car lift. “A few of the neighbors had concerns with the number of kids and grandkids

(Romney) has and said there’s going to be parking issues — we want you to provide as much parking as possible on the property, so me and the architects came up with the idea of having a car lift,” he said. “The neighbors were very pleased with

that because, technically, we could have provided that extra parking on the street. The code allows that.” The La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee approved Romney’s plans in December 2010, and the La Jolla Community Planning Group followed, giving the project is unanimous support in January of 2011. Romney has paid Peterson $21,500 since 2008 to lobby city officials for the renovation, Politico reported. Peterson said tightening of the city’s lobbying ordinance has required many people not previously considered lobbyists to register as such with the city. “The city of San Diego has very tight rules in terms of who has to register as a lobbyist and who doesn’t,” he said. “There’s an extremely low threshold … so I register for every one of my clients and disclose what they paid me on a quarterly basis. … What I’ve done for (Romney) is just land use permitting and processing. Obviously, he’s busy running a presidential campaign and doesn’t have time — nor does his wife — to be working on a house remodel.” Peterson said Romney requested that he put the permitting process on hold for the time being. “I don’t think he’s going to start that process again anytime soon,” Peterson said. “If he gets the nomination, obviously, he’s not going have time to deal with it during the presidential race. “Once (the process) starts again, I would figure we’d have the permits probably done within a couple months.”

Play Ball! Padres have many question marks as season starts today against Dodgers Analysis by Phil Dailey he San Diego Padres have to be better than they were in 2011, right? After all, last season’s team was among the worst in baseball — only the Houston Astros had a worse record in the National League last year. And this was coming off a 2010 season when the team had 90 wins, just barely missing the playoffs. But when the season opener begins today at Petco Park against the Los Angeles Dodgers (first pitch is at 4:05 p.m.), the expectations won’t be for the Padres to contend in the NL West, rather, it will be the start of a new era for the Friars. Gone is long-time closer Heath Bell (now with the Miami Marlins) and also gone is standout starter Mat Latos (now with the Cincinnati Reds). The team also traded away prized prospect Anthony Rizzo to the Cubs. This year’s squad has a slew of young players who are ready to show they belong in the Big Leagues, but fans may not want to get too excited for a playoff run, especially in the competitive NL West.

Who’s gone from last season The Padres were busy this past offseason with several moves, not only are Bell, Latos and Rizzo no longer with the team, but also gone are several key role players from last year’s club such as pitchers Aaron Harang, Chad Qualls, Wade LeBlanc, outfielder Ryan Ludwick and first baseman Brad Hawpe. Losing Bell may hurt when it comes to closing out games, but the loss of Ludwick and Hawpe likely won’t. Each under performed last season and were a disappointment to fans who had followed their careers prior to joining the Padres. The biggest loss, however, might be that of Latos. The 24-year-old was expected to be a long-time fit. Who’s new this season Among the new additions to the club is San Diego native Carlos Quentin, a two-time All Star with the Chicago White Sox and a former standout at

University of San Diego High School (now Cathedral Catholic). Quentin, who is now 29, has the potential to be one of the top hitters on the team this season, but has been Carlos Quentin hampered with injuries in spring training. Expect Quentin to miss a few weeks early in the season (he had arthroscopic knee surgery on March 19), but also expect him to be a major contributor at the plate when he get’s back to full health. Two other newcomers landed in San Diego via the trade to the Reds for Latos. Up-and-comer Yonder Alonso will be the team’s starting first baseman, and after playing sparingly with the Reds, could be a contender for the National League Rookie of the Year award if he lives up to expectations. Edinson Volquez joined the team in that trade and he will take the mound today in the season opener. Volquez is somewhat of a wild card but has the ability to be the team’s No. 1 starter. Back in 2008, Volquez went 17-6 with the Reds, striking out 206 batters. He followed up that stellar all-star season in 2009 with an injury that led to Edinson Volquez Tommy John surgery. In 2010 Volquez was suspended for 50 games for using performanceenhancing drugs, and last season, he finished with a 5-7 record in 20 starts for the Reds. If Volquez can get back to his 2008 form, fans will be more than happy with the Latos trade. However, that’s a big “if” for the Padres considering how his last few seasons have gone. Huston Street also joins the team as the new closer, taking over for Bell, who left for Miami. Street is a legitimate closer after earning 20 or more saves the past three season with the Colorado Rockies.

Who’s back this season Among the players back with the Padres this season is 2011 team MVP Cameron Maybin, the team’s center fielder. Quentin will be in the lineup Maybin, who is only 24, was the 10th overall pick in the 2005 draft and is starting to produce at the level that was expected. ■ Tim Stauffer This season will be huge ■ Cory Luebke for Maybin if he wants to ■ Edinson Volquez * make the leap from qual■ Clayton Richard ity player to star player. ■ Dustin Moseley Also returning for the ■ *Volquez will start today’s opener against the Dodgers. Padres is third baseman Chase Headley who could be the team’s top all-around player. He can get on base and is one of the best fielders at his position in the league. Other returning starters include second baseman Orlando Hudson, catcher Nick Hundley, shortstop Jason Bartlett, outfielder Will Veneble and pitchers Tim Stauffer Clayton Richards and Cory Luebke.

Projected starting rotation

The season will be a success if … This year’s team has a nice core of players who have played together, but it also has several new players who are expected to contribute. If that happens, the 2012 season could be much like 2010, a team that came out of nowhere and simply played well together. Now a 90-win season may not be likely, but if it all comes together for manager Bud Black, the team could hang around the .500 win mark for most of the season. The season will be a failure if … Nobody is predicting the Padres to win the NL West so not making the playoffs is not going to make this season a bust. However, with many of the new acquisitions as well as holdovers from last season, this team should be headed in the right direction. If there is not an improvement on last season’s 71-91 campaign, then the team has not improved, and ultimately, produced a second straight season of failure. Chase Headley may be one of the team’s top

all-around players this season.

LJYB turns the corner after Spring Break By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball La Jolla Youth Baseball is enjoying Spring Break this week. You will not see our kids in South Padre Island videos on YouTube, but you will see 20 lucky LJYB kids on the infield for the Padres’ Opening Day ceremonies today at Petco Park. They are part of the Padres’ highly acclaimed Youth Baseball Initiative and will represent their team uniforms – 1948 PCL, 1972 Home, 1975 Road and 1998 Home. Hopefully MLB will approve the Padres new TV deal so we can watch them. Most of the divisions in LJYB re-set the standings after spring break and all games count going forward. For most of March, managers tested a lot of pitchers and catchers, tinkered with batting orders, and generally played kids at every position as long as it was safe. That is the essence of recreational baseball. For that matter, every team makes the playoffs so the standings over the next six weeks merely determine seeding for the tournament brackets. This year LJYB is going to end the season with a World Series Saturday on May 19. All of the divisions will schedule playoff games in order to play championship games on the same day. No doubt there will be a lot of fun, fanfare and BBQs at the

After the first month of baseball, PacVentures led the Pinto division with an undefeated record, followed closely by Patterson Bike — who also led the league in runs scored. Home runs in Pinto are rare but Alex Brown (Sector 9), Jordan Stahl (PacVentures) and Nathan Latimer (RAK) each hit one out in March. In Mustang, Mitch’s Surf Shop leads the league with 5 wins and 76 runs scored — and only 49 runs against — so they appear to be the team to beat after the break. The remaining teams post-

ed similar records so the rest of the season will be interesting. The Bronco teams are keeping their results under wraps with only one game being recorded. The Vegas line appears to favor Team Aladdin but there is a lot of baseball to be played. Garrett Brown (Aladdin) is leading the home run derby with 3 round-trippers, followed by Jack Mahony (Mission Imprintables) and Michael Campagna (Harry’s Coffee Shop). In the 11-team SD Pony Metro Division, the three LJYB teams are running in the middle of the pack, compared to an undefeated Tecolote Toreros team and a winless Mira Mesa squad. Home runs

PONY Day at Petco is on Sunday, April 22 at 1:05 p.m. Last year LJYB had over 400 players and their family members in attendance and it was a fantastic day, especially with the pregame parade on the field. This year the kids will all be wearing their new Padre uniforms and that will be a sight. Discounted tickets are only $16 and are available for purchase at the LJYB Online Store: www.LJYB.org.

The La Jolla Country Day baseball team won its first-ever tournament in Arizona, capturing the Coach Bob National Invitational last weekend. The Torreys beat South Salem (Ore.) 2-1 to win the AAA Division. Junior Tommy Edman led off the game with a triple to centerfield and scored on a wild pitch, while Alex Guenette walked and stole second and was then driven in on a single by Dustin Hughes to take a 2-0 edge. That was all the Torrey scoring for the day, leaving it up to the pitching and defense to hold on. Alfonso Rivas got his first start of the year and pitched well, giving up only three hits and one run while striking out seven in his four innings of work to earn the win. Edman also pitched three hitless innings for the win.

Torrey Pines City Park has views worth the sweat effort

Dr. Eric Topol touts individualized medicine for 21st century patients Eric J. Topol, M.D., is chief academic officer of Scripps Health and director of the Scripps Translational Science Institute, a National Institutes of Health-funded program of the Clinical and Translational Science Award Consortium, which is focused on advancing individualized medicine. He also is a senior consultant cardiologist practitioner at Scripps Clinic and professor of translational genomics at The Scripps Eric Topol Research Institute. He is the author of “The Creative Destruction of Medicine,” a 2012 book that introduces the digital future of medicine and explores how digitization — through DNA sequencing, wireless health devices and online social networks — will fundamentally change the medical field for both professionals and patients. He previously chaired the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Cleveland Clinic for 15 years and raised its status to be ranked No. 1 in some categories by U.S. News and World Report for 11 consecutive years.

Rabbits and hares are the same animals. False. The difference between rabbits and hares appears at the moment they are born. Baby rabbits are called kittens, while baby hares are called leverets. Rabbits are born completely helpless, naked and blind. Hares are born fully furred, able to see, capable of Rabbit independent movement, and can live on their own one hour after birth. Hares are generally larger, and have longer hind legs than rabbits, as well as longer ears with characteristic black markings. A rabbit’s fur coat keeps its color year-round, while hare “coats” change color from grayish brown in summer to white in winter. Rabbits and hares have different diets. While rabbits Hare prefer soft stems, grass or vegetables, hares eat more hard food, such as bark and rind, buds, small twigs and shoots. Rabbits live in burrows or tunnels in the ground, where they prefer to stay during daylight hours. They try to keep hidden. Hares, on the other hand, always stay on the surface among plants and usually try to escape enemies by running. Rabbits are very social animals; they live in colonies. Male rabbits even fight within a group to become the dominant male. The dominant male rabbit then mates with most of the females in the area. Conversely, hares live most of the time by themselves, and come together in pairs for mating only. — orcca.on.ca

y adult sons would disagree with me on many points, but I think the one issue they wouldn’t dispute is that the best thing that ever happened to the three of us was my second husband, Olof. This is not to discredit their dad, who has been a hugely active and loving participant in their lives (and with whom Olof has miraculously managed not to compete). As for mom, parenthood fortunately seems to be dissipating the kids’ litany of complaints regarding my performance. (For their complete list, e-mail me specifying alphabetical or chronological.) In my defense, I was a single-working parent for 12 years from the time they were 3 and 5. Let me tell you: it’s a tough gig. Considering what a bad rep stepparents have, it is a paean to both Olof and to my ex’s second wife that the kids occasionally mused aloud that their ideal parents would be their two stepparents. If only they could get rid of mom and dad! This might suggest that the stepparents were pushovers. Not so. In fact, neither of them tolerated any grief from the kids and yet were adored. It was a lesson that mom and dad, too busy competing with each other for children’s time and affection during those years, should have learned from. Olof (who commuted down from the Bay Area for eight years before we

heat, Olof was fairly impervious to complaints about labor.) But as always, he gave financial emancipation a positive spin: “Gentlemen,” he said (he always referred to them as gentlemen even when they were 10), “pay your own way and you’re free! You’re out from under our thumbs forever!” It was a concept greatly appealing to young men their age. Neither of them has ever asked for a dime since the day they graduated. Both now support families. Olof is also the most honest and ethical man I have ever known. Not a religious man, he just always does what he feels in his heart to be right, down to obeying traffic laws (annoyingly, he’s never had a single citation), pointing out errors in our favor on restaurant checks, and not so much as taking a pencil from the office. (After I had to go to traffic school for a rolling stop, he affectionately referred to me as “the felon.”) When Henri applied to MBA programs, he answered an essay question about how he’d handle ethical situations in his future business life by citing the incomparable benefit of Olof as a role model. In an era when stepparents get such bad press, I think it’s important to call out one who for 25 years has been revered by the stepees. Olof, of course, would demur, insisting he simply treats them with respect (and love) and is treated with respect (and love) back. What I still can’t figure out is how he makes it look so easy.

married when the kids were in high school) would step off the plane on Friday nights carrying a single red rose for me. On the way home one night, 8-year-old Henri’s voice popped up from the back seat. “Mom, why does Olof only bring you one rose? Why doesn’t he bring you a whole bunch?” I turned to Henri and said, “Because sometimes less is more.” Years later, at 16, when Henri first had a girlfriend, I happened to talk to her mother who said, “You have raised the most romantic young man! Every time he comes to pick up my daughter, he brings her a single red rose.” “Wow!” I said. “What a great idea!” Olof always managed to cut to the core of any issue with the kids. I remember him clarifying the definition of manners to them as grade-schoolers by explaining, “anything you do that feels natural is unmannerly.” This they could understand. He introduced a lexicon of Air Force and engineering jargon to the household, from “Tango Uniform” (it’s seriously broken), Z.B. (zero balance, meaning we were out of something), and the acquisition of new skills in terms of “capability.” (One became “times table-capable,” “laundry-capable,” “left turn-capable” etc.) Every time we pulled into the driveway, Olof led a chorus of “Cheated death again!” When the kids were in college, Olof explained that our investment in their education meant that they needed to be prepared to support themselves when they were done, even if it meant double shifts flipping burgers.

holiday spirit are Easter bunnies and iconic marshmallow Peeps, all manners of eggs, including hand-painted hard-boiled ones, and hot-cross buns decorated with vanilla frosting crosses. These were originally cakes baked by Anglo ancestors to honor the spring goddess Éostre. When Christianity flourished, the church replaced these with sweet buns and blessed them with crosses emblazoned in the dough. Baked ham is a traditional Easter Sunday dish anchored to early Christian times when the pig was both a symbol of good luck and a convenience that could be slaughtered in the fall and cured until spring for Easter’s celebratory meal. Matzo Mania Passover or Pesach centers around the retelling — and through symbolic foods and imagination — reliving of the Hebrew slaves’ historic jailbreak from the fleshpots of Egypt. The household must be free of chometz — taboo foods including leavening agents, flour, breads, grains and legumes. Sephardic Jews, whose ancestors came from Spain via Turkey, Persia and the Middle East, are permitted to eat rice and other no-nos in the Ashkenazi (Jews from Eastern European parts) home. Let me assure you that no one feels deprived during

Passover as fresh fruits and veggies are allowed, along with kosher fish, meat and fowl, and yes, macaroons. On the two Seder nights ritual foods are arranged on the Seder plate. In keeping with the spirit of poetry month, here’s a little ditty to help prepare the symbolic centerpiece: “Let’s arrange the Seder plate everything in order: haroseth, shank bone, parsley, egg and in the center morror.” The most scrumptious is the haroseth, a mixture of fruits and nuts that resembles the mortar the Hebrews used to build the pyramids. Batters Up! National pastime fare has come a long way from the days of Jack Norworth’s ditty “peanuts and Cracker Jack.” Nouveau ballpark cuisine now runs the gamut from coconut prawns and crab cakes to veggie burgers and fish tacos.

‘This’ is a lot about that mid-life stuff at North Coast Rep By Diana Saenger Playgoers have a tendency to appreciate tried-and-true productions but also innovative ones that come from out of the box. That’s what patrons of the North Coast Repertory Theatre will encounter with Melissa James Gibson’s “This” onstage through April 29. Directed by Kirsten Brandt, “This” is a comedy told through a physiological look at middle-aged characters who face changes in their lives. “What I loved about this play is the language Melissa writes,” Brandt said. “She writes it like a musical composition to help navigate where you need to go as an actor and as a director, and uses language to see the obvious, but also to quote the subtext in an unusual way. “This is a melancholy comedy that’s really funny and I think a rare find for people my age with questions like, ‘Have I met the right person? Am I doing the right thing?’ So for me, it’s

This is a melancholy comedy that’s really funny and I think a rare find for people my age with questions like, ‘Have I met the right person? Am I doing the right thing?’

”

— Kirsten Brandt, Director of ‘This’ nice to grapple with issues my friends and I are going through … and to have two women characters that offer really good parts for those 32 to 45 is great.” The cast features Andrew Abelson (Alan), Richard Baird (Tom), Courtney Corey (Jane), Judith Scott (Marrell) and Matt Thompson (Jean Pierre). Brandt (“The Frankenstein Project,” “Legacy of Light,” “Little Women”) said she was very specific when casting the show. “I couldn’t be happier with my cast,” she said. “I looked for people on a technical level who could handle this language, were not intimidated, and could

grasp the truth of these characters.” The story takes place over a week leading up to the

anniversary of Jane’s husband’s death, which she must deal with along with attention from Tom, who is married to Marrell. She’s a jazz singer who is getting a lot of attention from Alan. Then there’s the French doctor, Jean Pierre, who arrives. Each character is in a fragile place and revaluating the choices they’ve made in their lives.

in staging the play. “There are seven locations, and Marty and I had to be smart in manipulating how to transform a living room into a jazz club and other locales,” she said. “But the intimate NCRT is perfect for this play as it makes audience members just want to sit in their living room and watch it unfold.” “This” has adult language and adult themes and is recommended for mature audiences.

Athenaeum main gallery named for Joseph Clayes III By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt he Athenaeum Music and Arts Library’s main gallery is now officially the Joseph Clayes III Gallery, thanks to a $500,000 donation by the Joseph A. W. Clayes Charitable Trust. A champagne reception was held on March 23 in honor of the “christening.” Max Elliott, president of the Athenaeum’s Board of Trustees, addressed the gathering, giving some of the history of the gallery, which for more than 30 years was leased to the La Jolla Public Library. Reclaimed in 1989, the space was part of a grand plan of Athenaeum renovations that came to completion in 2007. “We’ve finally put it all together, and we couldn’t have done it without Erika,” Elliot said. Erika Torri, the Athenaeum’s executive director since 1989, thanked the late Joseph Clayes for his generous gift, and offered a toast to him. “It is truly an honor to call this the Joseph Clayes Gallery,” she said. “The Clayes Trust donation will become part of the Athenaeum Endowment Fund and will benefit this institution for years to come.” Trulette Clayes, Joseph’s niece and a board member of the Clayes Trust, said: “My uncle loved the arts, La Jolla, and the Athenaeum. And he loved a great party, and being the center of attention. I am so happy that the Athenaeum has agreed to honor him in this fashion.”

O’side Museum of Art show honors La Jolla Art Center & School By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt La Jolla’s Museum of Contemporary Art has gone through several incarnations in its lifetime. Originally the residence of Ellen Browning Scripps, designed by architect Irving Gill, it was used by local artists as an informal gallery space after her death in 1932. In 1941, it became an official community art center where the prevailing form was impressionistic landscape paintings. By the late 1950s, The Art Center in La Jolla had turned into something quite different: a showplace for progressive contemporary art. Abstract expressionism came to town, and in 1960, an in-house art school was established, with a faculty of cutting-edge, often controversial artists teaching and exhibiting painting, ceramics, and sculpture. “Contemporary Art Wins a Beachhead: The La Jolla School of Arts 1960-64,” now on view at Oceanside Museum of Art, is a tribute to the Art Center’s school, which only lasted four years, but paved the way for

Free with OMA admission. what is now MCASD-LJ. Curated by Dave Hampton, an expert in mid-20th-century California art and design,

Right: ‘Babylon,’ a 1959 oil painting by Art School faculty member Fred Holle, is one of the highlights of the show. Dave Hampton this is the kind of show you might have seen at the Art Center 50 years ago. Featured are six artists from the ’60s who were among the most influential contributors to the Art Center’s glory days — painters Don Dudley (1930- ), Fred Holle (1931- ), Sheldon Kirby (1924-1990) and Guy Williams (19322004), and ceramic artists Malcolm McClain (1923- ) and Rhoda Lopez (19121993). Their work from that period, so often displayed in group and solo shows at the time, has not been shown publicly since, and is a vibrant reminder of a turning point in La Jolla’s art history. Fred Holle, who was still a student at SDSU in 1960

when he became the art school’s youngest faculty member, recalls the epoch as “a hot time.” “It was a time when intuition played a dominant role,” he said. “We were after the unusual, the impossible. The impulse was the exciting part of a painting.” Holle moved on to the Bay Area and other art forms when the school folded. “I don’t want anyone to think I died in 1964,” he said. “I’m still painting full-time.” He will take part in a “conversation” about the Art Center on April 14 (see sidebar), along with James Aitchison, who remembers being a 17-year-old “beatnik-appreciator” with a

scholarship to L.A.’s Chouinard Art Institute when he first came to the Art School. Don Dudley, the assistant director, showed him around, and Aitchison says he was more impressed by Dudley’s 6’7” height and huge moustache than he was with the place, which seemed too beautiful for a serious school. “Then I looked out the window of one of the studios, and saw bevies of teenage girls in teeny-weeny bikinis on the beach below, and I thought: I could do worse than spend a year here!” Aitchison spent two years at the Art School, learning to throw pots with Rhoda Lopez, going on watercolor excursions with Sheldon

Kirby, making friends with all the instructors. “They were real mentors,” he said. “They were there to show you about life. I learned that art is not just shapes, colors, and forms; there’s an emotional element too, and it was my job to capture that. Those two years changed everything for me.” Hampton says the “Beachhead” exhibit documents “a magical time when a bunch of wild young artists were adopted by a proto-museum in a largely conservative town.” “It’s a little-known chapter in local art history,” he said, “but it went a long way toward developing our knowledge of art.”

e believe that positive outcome flows from the physical to the psychological and the emotional.

Exhibition of Art Prize winners opens at Athenaeum By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt he San Diego Art Prize, funded by San Diego Visual Arts Network, is an annual award given to two established artists, each of whom chooses an emerging artist for the award. Selected works of the 2011 winners, established artists Jay Johnson and Rubén Ortiz-Torres and emerging artists Adam Belt and Tristan Shone, are now on view through May 5 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. The Art Prize committee, including Patricia Frischer of SDVAN, Ann Berchtold of Art San Diego, art collector Debra Poteet, and Erika Torri, executive director of the Athenaeum, chose the winners from a list of nominees by visual arts professionals and former Art Prize recipients. At the opening reception March 30, a crowd gathered for a fascinating multi-media encounter with the prize-winners’ work. Adam Belt’s walk-in installation “A Religious

Experience,” offered a contemplative retreat, evoking a quiet sense of wonder with its interplay of light and darkness. Rubén Ortiz-Torres’s shimmering, heat-sensitive pieces were meant to be touched, giving viewers a chance to add their own short-term handprints to the paintings. Jay Johnson’s collections of found and fabricated objects were sharply eye-catching. Tristan Shone’s wall-mounted masks came to vibrant life, showing off their voice-modulating capacities in a musical performance by the artist and sound designer, his pianist and wife, and his acoustic heavy-metal combo. During the evening, Patricia Frischer announced the 2012 Art Prize winners, jewelry-maker Arline Fisch and sculptor Jeffery Laudenslager. The two will present their choices of emerging artists in June, at Susan Street Gallery in Solana Beach, where all this year’s nominees will have their work on display.

FROM PATHS, B1 binoculars — both will come in handy. Bringing a beach chair to sit for a spell by the shore also isn’t a bad idea. It’s all worth the effort though, and there’s one common sight hikers in the area will get almost nowhere else: birdseye views of hang gliders drifting overhead from La Jolla’s historic Torrey Pines Gliderport, which is part of the park. Two years ago, Torrey Pines City Park Advisory Board, a group composed of nonmotorized aviators, environmentalists and community planners from University City, La Jolla and Del Mar, met for months to devise a compromise conceptual master plan for the park moving forward. That plan calls for redeveloping the city park, but not “overdoing” it by bringing in water, electricity or other infrastructure. Instead, the advisory board determined the greater good would be served by conserving the 44-acre park’s coastal bluffs and native habitat, while protecting site access for all users, especially gliderport pilots requiring flight clearance. The conceptual master plan envisions adding an additional 18 acres of plantings, including some Torrey pines, to 18 existing acres of native vegetation, while retaining all of the 565 parking spaces on the park’s unpaved bluff top. Editor’s Note: This report is part of Dave Schwab’s continuing series on places to hike in La Jolla. Read the others at lajollalight.com

If you go ■ What: Hiking Torrey Pines City Park ■ Where: Across from UC San Diego, off North Torrey Pines Road at the end of Torrey Pines Scenic Drive ■D ifficulty Level: Moderately strenuous, too steep for strollers or young children ■ Hint: Great place for a stroll with friends or a romantic interlude

Cliffs, beach and ocean are a compelling mix at Torrey Pines City Park next to the gliderport.

A meandering trail leads down to the ocean offering plentiful ocean views and places to rest.

PET CONNECTION ROWAN is a 1 yr old male, neutered, Aussie/duck tolling retriever mix, weighing 28lbs. Rowan came to us from North County Shelter after being hit by a car. He had a fractured back leg that needed orthopedic surgery to repair. He is 5 weeks out of surgery and is doing great! His x-rays show he is healing much quicker than expected. He is a sweet, mellow, affectionate little guy who loves lying in the sun, getting belly rubs and taking short walks around the yard. He is still on limited activity for the next two weeks. He is crate trained, housetrained, good with other dogs, and loves everyone he meets. His small size makes him a good candidate for a condo or small yard. He is going to make a great companion for the right family. He has not been around cats or small children. Contact: Becky/ Aussies and Others Rescue San Diego 619-469-3748

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 5, 2012 - Page B25

Symphony & Chorus announces a season of contrasts for 2012-13 From Symphony Reports “Angle of Repose,” inspired by themes in Wallace Stegner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, will also be the name of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) 2012-13 season. The quintessential novel of the West asks us to look at where we come from and understand our relationship to the past. “In musical terms, we are talking about what it feels like to be at the start of a new century with the century just Steven Schick passed still in sight,” said music director Steven Schick. “In each concert, we are illuminating an oppositional relationship, something to do with a cross-generational or historical interaction.” n The season opens Nov. 3-4 with Maestro Schick conducting the orchestra in a program themed “Hero/ Anti-Hero.” Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” the ultimate heroic piece in

the classical repertoire, will be heard along with a dramatic and turbulent work by contemporary composer Missy Mazzoli, “Violent, Violent Sea.” Mazzoli will join LJS&C this West Coast premiere. Also on the program are two works from 20th-century anti-hero John Cage that are meant more for contemplation than to stir deep and heroic emotions: “101,” for 101 musicians and no conductor; and in honor of the 100th anniversary of Cage’s birth year, his infamous/famous “4’33”, where silence reigns. “For Cage’s ‘4’33’ we will open the auditorium doors and let the sounds waft in — birds, people talking, leaves rustling — and we will sit and listen carefully. It is amazing what the world sounds like. And then we will start the ‘Eroica’ without a pause,” Schick said. “We arrive at the concert hall these days through a welter of noise: horns, radios, cell phones. But wouldn’t it be fascinating to hear Beethoven out of the

quiet that one might have heard 200 years ago?” n On Dec. 8-9, the theme of “Dark/Bright” offers five different visions of musical color and texture. The program is framed by two works of intense brightness, Handel’s “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” and Brahms’ “Triumphlied” for chorus and orchestra. Three works in the middle contain a framework of their own. Dark orchestral color is heard in Brahms’ “Nänie,” with chorus, and in Luigi Dallapiccola’s “Piccola Musica Notturna” (A Little Night Music). At the center of the program is

Arnold Schoenberg’s “Five Pieces for Orchestra,” one of the most colorful pieces of the 20th century. n The Feb. 9-10 concert, “Inside/Outside,” offers a program of music designed or evocative of both internal and external spaces. The program begins with an intimate work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, “Fantasy on a Theme” by Thomas Tallis, followed by Luciano Berio’s “Folk Songs,” featuring soprano Jessica Aszodi. The concert ends with Scandinavian composer Carl Nielsen’s “Symphony No. 3, Espansiva,” that transports to the wide-open northern

spaces of his homeland. n On March 16-17 LJS&C offers a collage of opposites in “Repeat/Move On.” It is the conundrum that is one of the main questions a composer asks himself, and a theme that occurs over and over again in “Angle of Repose”: How do I know when this has played itself out and when it’s time to go on to the next thing? Philip Glass, the American master of repeating phrases, begins the concert in his “Overture to La Belle et La Bête” (“Beauty and the Beast”), a contrast to the concluding work, Aaron Copland’s flowing essay on eternal growth and renewal, “Appalachian Spring.” The two works frame the rhythmic vitality of Bay Areacomposer Paul Dresher’s “Concerto for Invented Instruments and Orchestra,” featuring Dresher as soloist. Also on the program is a premiere work by Yvonne Wu, commissioned by LJS&C through the Thomas Nee Commissioning Fund. n In the May 4-5 concert, “Old Worlds/New World,”

the audience will hear vivid images by the eminent Chinese composer Chou Wenchung in his composition “Landscapes,” paired with Franco-American composer Edgard Varèse’s tribute to his adopted home in Amériques. From the backdrop of Europe comes Richard Strauss’s “Horn Concerto No. 2,” with 2011 Young Artists Winner Nicolee Kuester as soloist. n Choral Director David Chase concludes the season June 8-9, with “Earth/ Peace,” the works of three 20th-century composers contemplating peace — globally, personally, and spiritually. Benjamin Britten’s “Sinfonia da Requiem,” is a work inspired by his intense pacifism. Chorus and orchestra combine for Arnold Schoenberg’s “Friede auf Erde” that pictures mankind evolving from a murky past to a bright future. The concert ends with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ choral-orchestral work, “Dona Nobis Pacem,” based on the war poetry of Walt Whitman and excerpts from the Bible.

Prudential’s Charitable Foundation earns an A+ from local homeless children

OPEN HOMES THIS WEEKEND

As a result of efforts made by Prudential California Realty’s Polly Rogers, the Monarch School was recently awarded a $3,500 grant from The Charitable Foundation. A broker associate with 35 years of experience in residential sales, Rogers was instrumental in raising awareness about the school, which provides educational services for students impacted by homelessness. The Monarch School is a partner with the San Diego County Office of Education and the only school of its kind in the country. “I can’t imagine a more worthy organization than the Monarch School,” said Rogers, who serves on the board for the San Diego chapter of The Charitable Foundation. “It’s very gratifying to think that we are helping to break the cycle of homelessness for so many deserving local children. I would like to thank everyone who made this possible, especially Nate Postlethwait of Pickford Escrow.” Backed by the agents at Prudential, The Charitable Foundation supports local organizations that promote health, education, community, and the environment. Officially known as Prudential’s The Charitable Foundation/Agent Community Outreach organization, the charity has provided over 1000 grants, in excess of $4 million, to make a beneficial and constructive impact on the community. Rogers is a native of Coronado and a grad-
