Viscuso kills plans for Mike’s Village nightclub BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com What was once Jack’s apparently will not now be Mike’s as planned. Buzz on the street for weeks has been that downtown San Diego nightclub impresario Mike Viscuso, who negotiated a long-term lease in July 2010 for the former Jack’s property at 7863 Girard Ave., was having serious problems with his plans to turn the site into

two new exhibits at Saturday event Page B1

an entertainment complex to include seven bars, three restaurants and a nightclub. Neither Viscuso nor Bill Shrader, the leasing broker from Cushman & Wakefield could be reached for comment. However, Phil Wise, a commercial Realtor in La Jolla with Colliers International, said late Monday, “For better or worse, it’s (Mike’s) just not moving forward and ownership has to reexamine their posi-

tion as to how they want to re-tenant or dispose of the property.” And the Union-Tribune reported Monday Viscuso is finalizing termination of the lease with his landlord and has vacated the upstairs space, where he had temporarily relocated his corporate offices. Viscuso acquired a little over 18,000 square feet of space in 55 percent of the multi-level building

The new La Jolla Visitor Guide is out this week in time for the Memorial Day weekend. In its 30th year of publication, the 80-page guide published by The Light is the definitive source on what to do and what to see in La Jolla. It is available at concierge desks in hotels throughout La Jolla and in hotels from Coronado to Carlsbad as well as the La Jolla Visitor Information Center on Herschel. “We conducted in-depth interviews with concierges around town and as a result made many enhancements and upgrades to the book,”

n Bird Rock Elementary School first-grade teacher Sandy Sibley, who has been at the school for more than 20 years, was selected as Bird Rock’s Teacher of the Year. She inspires her students to be the best they can be by engaging and challenging her students to be outstanding readers, writers, and critical thinkers. Along with her teaching abilities, She has built an excellent professional relationship with the entire Bird Rock community.

im Walsh, a criminal judge in the Superior Court of South Bay came to teach the B-8 Scholars about “Choices and Consequences” on May 17. The title of his talk was: “How to avoid being in a situation where you’ll ever meet ‘me’ in my court.” The judge is the father of Finn Walsh, a fifth grader in Ginny LaRowe’s class at Bird Rock Elementary School. He began his career in the military where he spent 20 years in Supply and Logistics. After that he went on and worked for 13 years as a prosecutor in the district attorney’s office. Six years ago he was appointed a Superior

Court judge. He currently is South Bay’s presiding judge, supervising 15 judges. The students were engrossed in his presentation as he reminded them that many of the “decisions that have negative consequences are made in a matter of seconds,” and that each one of us should “listen to the ‘little guy’ in our head when you have that ‘feeling’ that this isn’t something right.” He spoke about “Group thinking” ... when you go with a group and end up participating in an inappropriate activity and reminded the students to walk away from people engaging in behavior that is not reflective of them.

Summer Cove ‘Pappy’ Boyington to be saluted on Memorial Day concert lineup announced cord with 28 kills, and he was also with the Flying Tigers (American aviators defending China against Japan in WWII),” said Bob Phillips, Mount Soledad honorary trustee regarding Boyington’s selection as honoree this year. “One of the goals each time is to find somebody who is media-worthy and who will have a connection with history.” Boyington’s son, Gregory, of Oakland, will participate in the ceremony honoring his father whose black granite plaque will be added to the Veterans Memorial Walls. Pappy will be remembered by a member of the VMA-214 squadron based in Yuma, consisting of AV-8B Harrier (V/ STOL) jets. Boyington’s 1958 memoir, “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” recounted his military career and became the basis for a television series starring Robert Conrad that aired from 1976 to 1978. In a White House ceremony on Oct. 5, 1945, President Harry S. Truman presented Gregory “Pappy” Boyington with the Medal of Honor. The day before, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Alexander Vandeg-

But Boyington was never impressed with his citations, once remarking, “Show me a hero, I’ll show you a bum.” The Memorial Day program will feature keynote speaker Vice Admiral James Zortman, USN (Ret.), former Commander, Naval Air Forces, along with music by the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Marine Band Brass Quintet. Also participating will be the Marine Color Guard Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar Marine Honor Guard, and an aircraft fly-over by San Diego Salute T-34 Performance Team, conducting the “Missing Man” formation.

KCBQ radio host and syndicated columnist Mark Larson will serve as master of ceremonies. The Memorial Day ceremony typically draws 900 to 1,000 attendees including City, State and National officials, officers of the 75 veterans organizations in San Diego County, Medal of Honor recipients and the general public. There are now over 3,000 black granite plaques on the Memorial Walls honoring veterans from the Revolutionary War to the current conflicts in the Middle East. Plaques include a picture of the veteran with a brief summary of their military experience.

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com At this year’s Memorial Day ceremony at the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial at 6905 La Jolla Scenic Drive South at 2 p.m. Monday, a WWII legend, the late Gregory “Pappy” Boyington, famed Black Sheep Squadron leader, will be honored. Boyington, who died in 1988, was one of the most flamboyant fighter pilots of World War II: hard drinking and hard brawling, he flaunted the rules and hid the fact that he was married from the military brass so that he could be a pilot, according to Wikipedia information provided by the Mount Soledad Association. But in the air Boyington soared higher than any other Marine pilot, distinguishing himself as the leader of the famed Black Sheep Squadron, a force he assembled himself. The squadron of Corsair pilots was credited with destroying or damaging 203 enemy planes, and produced eight fighter aces with 97 air-to-air kills, 22 of them by Boyington. “No doubt, this guy set the re-

Councilmember Lightner files to seek re-election Councilmember Sherri Lightner announced Friday she has filed her statement of intent to run for re-election to the San Diego City Council. In a press release, she said she “has worked to balance the need for fiscal responsibility with the preservation of public safety and core neighborhood services.” “I’m proud of what I Sherri have accomplished since Lightner taking office two and a half years ago,” Lightner said. “I have

worked to make tough, sensible cuts while always keeping the best interests of our neighborhoods in mind.” She added that she has kept a “campaign promise to give a real voice to the neighborhoods. Constituents in District 1 know they can contact my office and get help with anything from potholes to street sweeping to code compliance.” Going forward, her release said she plans to focus on issues that benefit both District 1 and the city as a whole, including public safety, neighborhood services, pension reform, smart growth and economic development.

Exercise-Related Injuries While regular exercise prevents disease and prolongs life, it also poses the risk of injury. Some studies show that approximately 21% of those who regularly engaged in exercise developed an exerciserelated injury during the course of a year. The good news is that most of these injuries are mild and many are preventable. Toward this end, exercisers should prepare their bodies for workouts by getting themselves into shape gradually, warming up before each exercise session, stretching regularly, using good equipment and proper technique, and not overdoing it. When prevention fails, exercisers should pay attention to symptoms that may signal the need for professional help. Pain, swelling, diminished strength/ mobility, and skin discolorations are a few of those signs. Whether you are a casual exerciser, golfer, soccer player, runner, cyclist or serious athlete, Ability Rehab can help. Our therapists specialize in sports rehab and training for all forms of exercise. By incorporating movement testing, biomechanical analysis, nutrition, and sport-specific techniques, Ability Rehab’s comprehensive training program can help you excel in your sport of choice. P.S.

La Jolla Youth Inc. marks Cliffridge restroom completion Mike Wintringer, La Jolla Youth Inc. president and former La Jolla Youth Baseball president, led ceremonies on Saturday at Cliffridge park, thanking those involved in the renovation of the park’s restrooms, which he noted took seven years — longer than the Empire State Building, Hoover Dam or Golden Bridge. (Others sang his praises for leading the project to completion.) The project, a collaborative effort between the city and La Jolla Youth Inc., was spearheaded by “Loo Lady” Mary Coakley. It was designed by local architect Don Goertz, who donated his services, and built by La Jolla native and longtime LJY Inc. supporter Louis Beacham of Beacham Construction.The foreman on the project was another LJ native Matt Edwards. The organization extended special thanks to Coselyn Goodrich of the city’s engineering department. The $125,000 project — which included replacing two restroom with three unixsex ones — was funded by the LJ YMCA, Garden Communities/Stuart Posnock

Eatery challenged on parking Puesto Mexican Street Food, a new sidewalk café proposed at 1026 Wall St. in the Village, has been told by La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Committee they will need assurance of guaranteed parking as well as a Coastal Development Permit for their project. “What we’re asking for is a shared-parking agreement that are recorded documents,” said Deborah Marengo, a member of the PDO Committee which is charged with ensuring rules and regulations regarding parking, signage, colors and materials used in building in La Jolla are adhered to. Shared-parking agreements, added Marengo, are a long-term agreement that sufficient parking will be provided in the long- and short-term. “If you have an agreement for parking with Ace Parking which manages a parking lot, what if Ace goes away and Sunset comes in?” asked Marengo. “What happens to the management contract?” Melissa Young, principal designer for studioMYID in an e-mail. “We are working to fulfill all of the requirements of the La Jolla PDO and are looking forward to the next meeting.” She added that “the Puesto team is excited to bring a new high-end Mexican fast-casual

A new Mexican cafe may open at 1026 Wall St. DAVE SCHWAB restaurant to La Jolla. Puesto will serve authentic Mexican food with fresh locally grown natural ingredients.” Orrin Gabsch, another PDO committee member, echoed Marengo’s concerns, saying several businesses in the Village that have been converted into restaurant space do not have shared-parking agreements in place. “I see all these current violations going on and nobody’s enforcing it,” he said. “If you’re going to construct a restaurant in La Jolla, there’s nothing even in the PDO that you have to go back and satisfy this requirement (shared parking),” added committee member David Little.

FROM FiREwORks, A3 The permit fee donated in a letter from Casey Brown to Deborah Marengo, a board member of the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, a nonprofit formed in 2009, Brown is principal of BDG California Landscape Management + Design, a San Diego-based full-service landscaping firm that maintains hanging plants in the Village business district. “The new permit fee is a financial burden that the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation has never had to bear, and BDG California would like to help,” Brown wrote. ”I was born and raised in La Jolla and consider myself a local entrepreneur with strong ties to the community. Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, and I would love to see the fireworks tradition continue.” Marengo said Monday, “It was great someone stepped forward and is giving back to the community.” She said the Foundation has submitted an application to the city to use Scripps Park for the annual fireworks display, but noted on Monday they had only $5,000 in donations, far short of the $26,000 needed to ensure the fireworks display will go on. “People, businesses need to contribute,” Marengo said, noting she would be canvassing merchants and hoteliers this week looking for donations in advance of the June 1 deadline. “Tourism is so important to our businesses here,” Marengo said. “People need to realize how urgent this is and donate, otherwise it’s going to be dark on Fourth of July weekend.”

Community groups to clean up La Jolla’s scenic Coast Walk trail At 1 p.m. on June 4, the La Jolla Town Council Nell Carpenter Beautification Committee and The Friends of Coast Walk Trail Volunteers will team up to clean La Jolla’s scenic Coast Walk trail. Gloves, pickers, trash bags, facemasks and other essential supplies will be distributed among the volunteers. “We are in desperate need of weed whackers, so if you have one please bring it,” said Ester Viti of LJTC Nell Carpenter. Deborah Marengo of Gold Fish Point Cafe will donate coffee and snacks. Junk MD will dispose of the filled bags of clippings and weeds. Coast Walk Trail can be dangerous since some parts of the path have washed away leaving gaps. The age group volunteering should be no younger than 14 years of age due to safety concerns.

Gillispie School kindergarteners adopt Aussie koalas By Kim Pavel Special to the Light The classrooms of Gillispie School kindergarteners, whose grade-level social studies focus is on the continent of Australia, have been filled with the rich sounds of didgeridoos, the smells of bangers and mash, and, through the wonders of Skype, virtual sharing with new Australian schoolmate friends. Their experience did not stop there — the students developed a love of the outback wildlife, especially koalas. The young activists set out to help save one of the Australian koalas in the New South Wales Koala Hospital, but with hard work and commitment, they were able to adopt two koalas for a year.

The Gillispie School community values service learning. Head of School Alison Fleming’s goal is that, “By the time a child graduates from Gillispie, he/she will have reached out to help a variety of populations — locally, nationally, and globally — and will have been exposed to projects ranging from serving lunch to the homeless to caring for animals and the environment.” The kindergarteners’ mission to adopt a koala was conceived by kindergarten teachers Daima Austin and Suzanne Pirtle who actively engaged students to solve this challenge, which brought joy and understanding along the way. “Not only did the children learn about Australia

and how to help an animal in need, but other important life lessons were learned because of this project,” Pirtle said. First, the students learned about the animals of Australia; then they studied the unique hardships that can affect koalas and lead to them being rescued, treated, and hopefully reintroduced into their natural habitat. The children developed an affinity for the koalas and, as they got to know each adoptable joey and his/her quirky personality, they voted on which ones to adopt. The first place heart tugger was Links VTR, a tubby orphan koala who was discovered in his mother’s pouch after she was hit by a car. Second place was Westhaven Barry, who suffered from a pronounced case of scoliosis and was equipped with a comical yet grumpy temperament. Next, the enterprising students figured out a way to fund their cause. If they pooled their efforts by earning money performing home chores over a period of a month, they could accomplish their goal. Daily, students wrote in their journals about chores they had

opted koala climb the “Eucalyptus Tree-mometer.” The motivated students doubled their goal, which afforded two koala adoptions. At the end of the drive, journals were filled with a creative collection of

“hard work” that went into the adoptions. The students earned money for the two koalas by sorting laundry, clearing the table, helping with siblings, vacuuming, feeding family pets and cleaning their bedrooms.

Officials seek input on redistricting The County’s Redistricting Advisory Committee has begun developing proposals for redrawing the County’s five supervisorial districts, but there is still plenty of opportunity for the public to give feedback and suggestions to the committee. About one month remains before the committee must make its final redistricting recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Redistricting determines which supervisorial district residents live and vote in, so everyone has a stake. Every 10 years after the federal census, the district boundaries must be redefined to balance the districts’ populations. To learn about the committee’s work so far, visit the County’s redistricting website at www.sdcounty.ca.gov/redistricting.

FROM GRADUATES, A1 and featured teen artist at San Diego Museum of Art What I liked best about my high-school years: I loved being able to express my momentary insanities among a tolerant and loving community, learning about the obscure pretensions of Western thought, and creating large projects — like a giant submarine sculpture and a movie about happy endings — with my friends. What I liked least about my high-school years: I didn’t like how stupid teenage hormones interfered with rational thought and the creative process. Petty little things count for a lot in high school, even though most people are too worried about themselves to worry about you. n Stephen Sargeant, 18, High Point University Interests: Performing arts, set design, Broadway productions, swimming Accomplishments: 3-year Tech Crew group member, 3-year Choir member, captain of Stephen JV Swim Team, and Sargeant

set designer for Bishop’s productions. What I liked best about my high-school years: The best about high school were the people I met and the experiences that I had. From traveling to London with my friends to perform and see shows to singing in a choir with some of my best friends in Carnegie Hall to knowing a teacher was always available just to hang out with, I made some of the strongest relationships. What I liked least about my high-school years: The worst part about high school, now looking back on it, was the regret I have for not pursuing everything that I wanted to. For example, I only discovered my love of dance around junior year. I was presented with so many opportunities, and while I did take advantage of a lot of them, there are definitely moments that I wish I could go back and do more. n Ben Sobel, 18, Harvard University Interests: Playing a range of instruments (namely the jazz tenor saxophone, but also the guitar, bass, drums, flute, and clarinet), music production, and music performance Accomplishments: National

Merit Scholarship recipient, Berklee College of Music Summer Performance Program Scholarship recipient, 1st Place winner in Soloist Division at Fullerton College Jazz Festival, and composer of original score for school production Ben of Hamlet Sobel What I liked best about my high school years: I liked high school because I felt free to do whatever I wanted to do. Bishop’s did a good job of accommodating me -- I rarely felt like I had to abandon one of my interests in order to pursue another. I have had the privilege of taking a wide range of serious classes while still developing musically, which is rare for a high-schooler. Because I have gained exposure to so many interesting fields of study, it will be hard to commit to just one career. What I liked least about my high school years: Petty social problems seemed agonizing for the first few years (and often still do). It’s very hard to find your niche in such a small place, and that frustrated me a lot before I came to terms with it. Bishop’s has its idiosyncrasies, good and bad, but my outlook remains that

high school is high school, and I really couldn’t have been happier anywhere else. n Bianca Pham, 18, University of Pennsylvania Interests: Tennis, lacrosse, class council, neuroscience, filmmaking, diversity issues, environmental issues, and hanging out with friends

Bianca Pham

Accomplishments: Co-head of Green Campus Initiative, founder of Asian Affinity Group, Student Diversity Alliance member, Cum Laude Society member, Knights of Roundtable member, Varsity Tennis and Lacrosse Team member, and neuroscience intern What I liked best about my high school years: The relationships I built with my teachers were definitely highlights of my high school experience. Also, the clubs and sports I participated in really integrated me into the school community and helped expand my friend group. Just getting to watch my friends express their true passions, whether it was on the field, or on the stage, or in an art exhibition was an amazing experience.

What I liked least about my high school years: It was stressful finding the time to participate in everything I wanted to do. I disliked not being able to participate in everything I wanted, like Associated Student Body Council and art, because of time constraints. I wish I had more time to take advantage of the huge variety of classes offered. n Stephen Chen, 18, University of California at Berkeley, College of Engineering Interests: Electrical engineering, computer science, ping-pong and computer programming Accomplishments: Regents and Chancellor’s Scholarship recipient, UCSD Supercomputer Center intern, San Diego ARML team member, California Physics Bowl Runner-Up team member, National Merit finalist, and Cum Laude Society member.

Stephen Chen

What I liked best about my high school years: The best part about high school would be the many teachers I have met during my four years at Bishop’s.

www.lajollalight.com FROM GRADUATES, A10 These are teachers that have only taught me for one class in one year, yet continued to impact my life, long after the class ended. For example, Ms. Triana taught an introductory Java computer class in my freshman year, and I have ever since spent a ludicrous amount of time in her computer lab talking, doing homework, writing essays, and much more. She became a sort of go-to person if I had any issues. At other schools, where the classes are larger and more impersonal, it would be a lot harder, if not impossible, for this teacher-student relationship to develop. What I liked least about my high school years: I would say that the worst part of high school has been how so much of it is determined by schedule: having to wake up for a 7:25 bell is really hellish, especially when adults usually only have to get up around 9. While it was probably better at my school than at others, the amount of busywork that was given by some classes was a pain, like memorizing vocabulary or doing worksheets. Regardless, in the end, I think that the positives in my experience far outweighed any negatives.

Local schools turn out for 20th annual Junior Olympics

ore than 1,000 children from nine local schools — The Gillispie School, Bird Rock Elementary, Torrey Pines Elementary, La Jolla Elementary, Stella Maris Academy, The Evans School, The Children’s School, All Hallows Academy and the San Diego French American School — participated in the 20th annual La Jolla Junior Olympics hosted by the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla at Edwards Stadium at La Jolla High School Sunday, May 15. The free event was open to children ages 5-12. Students competed for gold, silver and bronze medals in track and field events, and the top three finishers had medals presented to them by their principals. Field events included the obstacle course, the standing and running broad jumps and the softball throw. Track events were the 50-, 100-, and 200- meter dash. The Kiwanis Club of La Jolla pays for the event through money raised from various fundraisers, most notably the La Jolla Kiwanis Pancake Day and the La Jolla Half Marathon. Major event sponsors are Carl and Jeanine Volinski of

Girard Foundation surrenders approved charter school petition

Education Matters By MARSHA SUTTON

Editor’s note: This is a shortened version of Marsha’s Education Matters column. Please go to www.lajollalight. com to read the full story. A petition for a new charter middle school backed and funded by La Jolla-based Girard Foundation was granted by the San Diego Unified School District on March 29, but the charter was surrendered earlier this month after Girard Charter board members determined there was not enough time to secure a suitable facility to open this fall. “We needed to have the facility nailed by a certain date in order to do everything else that we had to do, and we couldn’t make it happen,” said Susan Wolking, executive director of the Girard Foundation. By reconciling to opening in 2012 instead of 2011, Girard could

have proceeded with its plans. But because the school district granted Girard a three-year charter (for the 2011-2012, 2012-2013 and 20132014 school years) rather than a five-year charter, delaying a year would leave only two years for the school to show results before another petition would need to be submitted for approval. Girard may decide to apply again next year, approach another district, pilot the curriculum or evaluate other possibilities. “We’ve got a range of options we’re exploring,” Wolking said. Behind the formation of Girard Charter Middle School is the concept of blended learning, which combines face-to-face instruction with innovative styles of teaching that rely heavily on the use of computers and other technology. High on the list of options is taking this specially designed curriculum model that is the cornerstone of Girard Charter and implementing it in an existing school setting, to test the principles and see if it contributes to increased academic performance. Piloting some blended learning ideas in an already established school would help Girard understand the proper mix of on-line and face-to-face instruction, what infor-

mation teachers need to personalize the learning, and how much differentiation can exist while still effectively managing a classroom, Wolking said. The goal with such a curriculum is to allow students to move at their own pace and to provide more rapid feedback -- and ultimately to positively impact performance. The charter school would zero in on learning using technology because kids are comfortable with technology and find it interesting, Wolking said.

New concepts in learning The Girard Foundation, established by La Jolla philanthropist and education reform advocate Buzz Woolley in 1986, has long been interested in exploring new concepts in learning, but it’s difficult for innovation to occur in existing organizations, Wolking said. Schools need to examine different ways of using time, space, technology and human capital, she said. “And to try to do all of that within a traditional system is difficult so … (we said), ‘Let’s open a school.’” The idea was a charter school that

“could operate like a laboratory” for innovation. But the purpose was not just to open a school. Rather, the charter structure was appealing because it offers the flexibility to explore new ideas and determine what works. “The focus is on seeing if there are ways of educating kids more effectively,” she said. But the operational considerations of finding a facility and designing interior space to meet all the complex codes and state building standards proved too much of an obstacle for this year. So the Girard Charter board abandoned the charter idea for now and is concentrating on finding a school that could implement some of Girard’s ideas. The Girard Foundation became interested in opening its own school in 2009, and an independent 501(c)3 called Girard Charter Schools was created. Last September, a number of educators came together to design the model for the school, with experts in curriculum, instruction, technology, data analysis and home-schooling (for input on personalized learning). The San Diego County Office of Education was also involved. Start-up board members include Woolley, former state Senator Dede Alpert, and Mary Wolshok, associate vice chancellor of public programs

and dean of extended studies at UCSD. Selected to lead the effort was Darnall Charter School executive director Cinda Doughty, who “has a real passion for closing the achievement gap,” Wolking said. Girard committed a minimum of $900,000 in start-up funding for the school, which was to be located in the 92115 ZIP code, which includes the neighborhoods of Rolando Park, City Heights, College Area, Kensington-Talmadge and Oak Park. This area was chosen in part because Doughty is familiar with students from those communities through her work at Darnall, Wolking said.

Middle school years The decision to focus on the middle school grades was based in part on the needs of families in those neighborhoods who Wolking said are frustrated with the lack of quality middle schools available for their kids ... . The board is still undecided about its next steps, which might include resurrecting the charter proposal and re-submitting another petition later this year for a school to open in 2012. No schools have been approached yet about piloting Girard’s ideas, she said.

In all, the corner building occupies 35,000 square feet. Viscuso, who planned to call his remodeled venue Mike’s, had originally intended a Halloween 2010 grand opening before extending that to New Years and finally summer 2011. He said then it would cost about $3 million to complete the project. The Union-Tribune reported Monday that Viscuso has reconsidered his position as “increasingly risky,” deeming it unworthy of pursuing further. They quote him as saying a slow economy and problems and delays associated with rerouting infrastructure for Panera Bread — a tenant preparing to occupy 5,000 square feet of space on the building’s ground floor —forced his decision. Construction appears to have stepped up at the Panera space, although company officials could not be reached in the past couple of weeks. A La Jolla resident, Viscuso owns nightclubs in Los Angeles and developed downtown San Diego’s On Broadway, Deco’s and Belo nightclubs. Last year he opened Boudoir nightclub. Wise said the former Jack’s site has proven tough to develop. “The site does create obstacles for the average retailer,” he said, noting only the Panera

retail space is street level with Girard Avenue. “The rest of it you either go up or you go down,” he added. But he was quick to add the space does have potential for the right owner. “The space does create an opportunity for a retailer that can be creative and think out of the box and make the space work on a whole,” he said. Wise said he believes Viscuso, though he may not have come along at the right time, was on the right track with redeveloping the site. “Ownership was going in the right direction in trying to find one tenant, like Mike’s,” he said. “One large retailer that could take a majority of that space is an easier route for ownership to go, and for a tenant to be successful there, if it’s rented at a lease rate that is commensurate with the obstacles that the building presents.” Wise noted a consortium of banks own the note on the former Jack’s property. “The office market in La Jolla seems to be moving sideways,” added Wise. “There’s a tremendous amount of competition from the UTC office market, which is pulling tenants out of the Village,” he said. The draws are accessibility, lower rents and parking more friendly than in La Jolla. Former Jack’s owner Bill Berkley, whose long-term master leasehold was eventually foreclosed on by his lender, closed the doors to his nightclub on July 30, 2009.

A1 Hearing Aid Center comes to LJ There’s good news for La Jollans with hearing problems, A1 Hearing Aid Centers has come to town. The center, opening today at 7730 Herschel Ave., Suite AA, is something of a one-stopshop for the hearing impaired. “We do hearing screening and evaluation,” said Kelly Scoggins, hearing instrument specialist at A1. “We sell and repair all of the manufacturers.” Scoggins said A1 is a familyowned business that’s been in operation since 1935. “My mother Maxine is the owner and she’s been in the business for about 30 years,” she said. The toughest thing for many people who are experiencing hearing loss is acknowledging it, said Scoggins. “People don’t want to admit they can’t hear,” she said, noting digital technology in the last decade has vastly improved the looks and performance of the devices. “There’s

such a stigma of old age with hearing aids and the perception by people that they are big and clunky and don’t want to wear them.” Scoggins said it’s especially important for people with hearing loss to be tested as soon as possible. “The longer you go and the worse your hearing gets, the harder it is to correct,” she said, adding the inner ear has cilia — tiny “hairs” changing sounds into signals — which, once dead, can’t be regrown. “So hearing aids become a device that helps work with what you’ve got left,” Scoggins said. The most common phrase used by hearing loss sufferers in denial, said Scoggins, is “I can hear just fine, I just have a hard time understanding words.” “If you’re having trouble understanding words — you’ve got hearing loss,” she said. Hearing tests are complimentary as are consultations,

Kelly Scoggins, Maxine Glazebrook and Vicki Avery are part of the A1 Hearing Aid Center’s staff. COURTESY

said Scoggins, noting hearing aids at A1 range in price from about $995 to $3,200 a pair, based on the technology inside the hearing aid, which today are mini-computers inside your ear. Hours at A1’s new La Jolla site are Tuesdays and Thursdays by appointment only. For more information, call (858) 454-4600 or visit www.a1hearing.com.

La Jolla architect to share her knowledge of adobe as strong building material By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer Ione Stiegler, the fourth speaker in La Jolla Historical Society’s 10-part Contemporary Architects Making History 2011 Lecture Series, said her presentation would not be like her predecessors’. “I will be showing some of my projects in the context of learning about adobe techniques through time,” said the La Jolla architect, whose Ione lecture is titled “Adobes from Stiegler Prehistory to the Present.” She will speak at 7 p.m. tonight at the Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. Stiegler was born in Los Angeles and is a graduate in architecture from Tulane University in New Orleans, a place she said imbued her with a lifetime passion for historic preservation. A member of the City of San Diego Historical Resources Board and chair of La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) Review Committee, Stiegler’s firm has restored and rehabilitated 45 historic residences, 17 historic institutional structures and 8 historic adobe structures.

She is presently involved with the restoration/rehabilitation of UCSD Chancellor’s House (Black’s House) in La Jolla Farms. Stiegler noted adobe is something of an underappreciated building material. Adobe is a natural building material made from sand, clay, water and some kind of fibrous organic material like sticks, straw or manure, which are fashioned into bricks. “About 3 billion people on six continents live or work in buildings constructed of earth,” she said. “It is far more prevalent around the world than what we see in the U.S.” Noting adobe is both environmentally and climate friendly (warm in cold weather, cool in hot) she said there are numerous examples throughout La Jolla where the building material has been used to artistic and aesthetic value. Asked what she’d like those listening to her speech to come away with, Stiegler replied, “An understanding of the attributes of adobe as a construction material, and knowledge of how adobe construction has evolved through the last two centuries.” Tickets are $10 for La Jolla Historical Society members: $15 for nonmembers.

Children’s Pool celebrates 80 years This week marks the 80th anniversary of the Children’s Pool in La Jolla, which was created in 1931 through a trust by Ellen Browning Scripps, a prominent La Jolla benefactress, to build a breakwater so children could safely swim at the beach. Scripps devoted much of her time to the welfare and safety of children. In 1930, she commissioned Hiram Newton Savage, a hydraulic engineer, to finish design work on the breakwater project he’d begun studies on nearly a decade earlier. Architect William Templeton Johnson designed the breakwater’s walls. On May 31, a celebration occurred at the breakwater to celebrate the accomplishment. Scripps was too ill to attend, but Savage spoke in her place, reminding the audience of the difficulties involved in constructing the structure as well as stressing its importance to the community. The ceremony featured speeches, a pantomime performance by La Jolla schoolchildren and a con-

cert by the San Diego YMCA band. The breakwater received tremendous support from the community including Judge John Kean, who described the project as “the most valuable of all Miss Scripps’ benefits to La Jolla.” La Jolla Journal, the community weekly paper

at that time, referred to the project as “a wonderful and valuable improvement” and “a great asset to the community.” — Excerpted from Jeremy Hollins’ “Until Kingdom Come, The Design and Construction of La Jolla Children’s Pool”

There’s more to the La Jolla Light online Our View Last week a reader asked us a question that we think deserves an answer. He asked why we didn’t print a story detailing the blow-by-blow City Council action on the Whitney project in La Jolla Shores and instead wrote about the Whitneys’ options in the face of the vote requiring an environmental report. The answer is simple and one that we hope will draw more people to our ever-expanding presence at lajollaight.

com. We wrote about the decision and posted it on our website as soon as the council voted that Tuesday — which was after press time for the May 5 edition. Because the decision came after our deadline we did not have the story in print that week so we felt a more informative story for May 12 was to find out what’s next. You will see us doing more of that kind of reporting: Getting the news out as quickly as we can online and often writing from a different perspective for the printed edition. We hope that

A great way to get involved in the community is to attend a La Jolla Shores Association meeting. On the second Wednesday of every month, we meet to review issues affecting the La Jolla Shores area, with the goal of providing local input. Meetings include reports from UCSD, police, lifeguards, City Council District 1, and Friends of La Jolla Shores. Committees report on land use, parks and beaches, traffic, and merchants. We are fortunate to live near the marine reserve, but that includes the responsibility to protect it. Construction of the new lifeguard station and parking lot, while inconvenient, offers the long-term benefits of improved safety and special features to control water run-off.

Avenida de la Playa and to build a new outfall structure on the beach. Currently, storm water and pollution flows directly into the Reserve (a state designated area of special biological significance). LJSA has asked the city to develop plans that minimize the impact of construction on traffic and parking. As a result, the City organized a special community meeting last night. Another current issue is City Council redistricting. The association recommended that La Jolla be reunited into one district and that La Jolla stay in the same district as University City. Furthermore, the group objected to dividing University City. We have 16 Board Members and we welcome public comment from the community. We are responsible for recommending permits from the City Parks and Recreation Department for major events held in La Jolla Shores Beach, Kellogg Park, Laureate Park, Cliffridge Park and Allen Field.

COMMuNiTY View By ChriS Carter Longtime La Jolla resident I am a retired veterinarian. I am middle of the road politically . I have loved animals with a passion since I was 3; so much so, I made their care and wellbeing my profession. It is very hard to find someone that cares more about animals than I. However after reading Inga’s “lighthearted”? column “Sealing the fate of the Children’s Pool,” I came to realize that she

has it all wrong. In fact, her comments are simply reflective of so much of what is wrong with the country today. Ellen Browning Scripps gave the money for the breakwater at the Children’s Pool and the city of San Diego accepted it. In consideration, the city agreed to keep the beach as a children’s pool. There is a bona fide indenture that, in our legal world, is about as clear as can be. There is also 80 years of legal precedent. … The problem is that many of our leftwing citizens are not about to let the law, integrity or 80 years of history get in the

Private college counselors may not be the answer sTudeNT View By roger li La Jolla High senior

Editor’s note: La Jolla High senior Roger Li has been chronicling the college application process for the Light. Here’s his latest take on it. Before the stress of senior year, I had always been aware of college counseling. Because public school counselors were reputedly overworked, I knew that many students sought private college counselors. Many of these counselors were advertised as “miracle workers.” If an applicant didn’t have stellar grades, he could still gain entrance into his dream school after going through a “packaging” process. I never believed in college counselors. I had a brief encounter with one my junior year. Oneå free hour of counseling was included with my SAT preparation classes. In short, the counselor taught me the art of manipulation. Pursue what you’re interested in, but only in one specific area to show depth. Seek out leadership opportunities; universities don’t care about your mere participation in a school club. Hobbies don’t make for impressive resume building. Frankly, the session angered me. It seemed dishonest, almost conniving. Furthermore, the only colleges mentioned were HYPS: Harvard,

Yale, Princeton and Stanford — the acronym worshipped by overachieving teens across the country. After my initial experience with college counseling, I thought that I would never want to do it again. As the fall of senior year progressed, however, I soon became inundated with deadlines, supplements, and paperwork. But even though my counselor wasn’t always available to answer my questions, I felt like I was responsible enough to keep track of what was due when. My most daunting challenge was self-doubt. I knew that I maintained perfect grades and pursued my extracurricular passions, but did I do enough? What if the difference between an acceptance and rejection was a single, poorly worded sentence in my essay? What if I just wasn’t special enough? These lingering questions led me to search out a different college counselor. Learning from my previous experience, I found a counselor that prided herself on helping students find schools that best fit the students, which included universities beyond the glorified HYPS. I came prepared with a list of detailed questions. Within an hour, she looked at one of my essays, answered all of my questions, and gave some

Obstruction-free sidewalk needed on Torrey Pines Road I live on Torrey Pines Road between Prospect-and Princess streets. The too-narrow sidewalk is used by many walkers and bikers alike. Several lampposts smack in the middle of the sidewalk make it a challenge for baby buggies. Because the bike path has potholes and the sidewalk has bumps I have seen people taking tumbles off their bikes in front of my house. One even ended up in the hospital. I have lived on this road since 1964. Never has anything been done to prevent the East hillside from slowly creeping into the road. The only sidewalk left, on the west side, is in bad shape — especially the heavily trafficked part between Prospect and Princess streets connecting the Town to the Shores. A few years ago plans for improvement with a wider, obstruction-free sidewalk and a safer bike lane were drawn up by a group of concerned citizens, with free help of an architect — a good plan. The city seems to have different plans. Widening the sidewalk should be a priority. This problem should be fixed before somebody gets really badly hurt — or worse. Johanna Thompson La JoLLa

From CArter, A18 way of their agenda. Whether or not there are 10 children or 100 children that use the Children’s Pool, the fact still remains that there is zero room for doubt that (it) was legally given and legally accepted to be a children’s pool. Nothing else is relevant. … Americans don’t really understand that their prosperity and their national values are tied to living up to what they commit to, regardless of the political or social influence of any one group. The end result in extrapolation is a world without trust in ourselves and our legal system. The absence of such trust would be unfortunate because it is one of the few things that separate us from the banana republics of the world. That concept was driven home the other night at dinner with a friend who told me he would not bequeath anything to the city because the chances of the city living up to their agreements is diminutive. The city of San Diego and our California Court system should be ashamed. From Student, A18 advice on which schools I should add to my tentative list. And that was the last time I saw her. After the session, I realized that I didn’t need a college counselor. All my life I’ve been known as “Responsible Roger.” College applications were no different than all the other projects I had to juggle throughout high school. They simply had more significant implications. A college counselor was not going to make me any more “special” or any more qualified. A college counselor usually isn’t worth his astronomical fee -especially with private school students. What ultimately matters the most are organization, a strong work ethnic and, above all else, confidence.

He was 92 years old. Bob was born January 4, 1919, in the Ukraine, the first of two children born to Russian Jewish emigrants Herschel and Dora Kossoy, growing up in Istanbul, Turkey. Precocious at mathematics, early on he developed an interest in design and engineering. Bob spoke Hebrew at home, was educated in German and French and eventu-

ally spoke seven languages including Spanish. At age 15 he went to Palestine where he studied math at the Tekhnion in Haifa and changed his last name to Benzwi in honor of the Zionist labor leader Itzhak Benzwi. He left Palestine for France to study civil engineering. When the Nazis invaded France he fled by ship to England where he worked in a defense factory repairing bomb damaged machinery. He completed his graduate studies at the Imperial College in London and became an associate fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society. In 1948 he emigrated to the US to join relatives already settled on the East Coast. While awaiting US citizenship he worked in various family enterprises, married and started to raise a family. After attaining US citizenship he was able to join General Dynamics Corporation and moved his young family to San Diego. Due to tenacity, mathematical ability and design skills he was promoted rapidly. He helped design crucial elements of the Atlas/Centaur launch vehicles. During the heyday of planetary exploration he and other team members from GD, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Lewis Research Center, Ames Research Center, Marshall Spaceflight Center, Goddard Spaceflight Center, the USAF Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and NASA’s Unmanned Launch Operations team spent years working together over the integration of those high profile NASA spacecraft with the Atlas/Centaur launch vehicle.

In 1985 he retired from General Dynamics after 27 years. His first marriage having ended in divorce, during the next phase of his life his longtime partner was Jhan Steck, the widow of a Swiss journalist. Together they travelled the world. He took up year round swimming at La Jolla Cove, he danced, he baked bread, he became a water color painter, he sailed, he loved music, parties and the company of good friends. He was a generous host, a good provider and a beloved grandfather to his own children and grandchildren and Jhan’s as well. He swam the icy waters of the Cove every day until he was 90 years old when the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia hampered him. He is survived by Jhan; his children, David, Barbara, Jackie and Adam; and Jhan’s children, Urs, Ellen, Allen and Sabine. He was predeceased by daughters, Judy and Debra; and sister, Penny Lutzky.

Local author debuts with hit

Critics say book on endurance race a must read

Amy Snyder

By phil DAiley phildailey@lajollalight.com When Amy Snyder first pitched the idea of writing a book about long-distance bike racers, the response was quick and to the point. “If it’s not written by Lance Armstrong”, a publicist told her, “you don’t stand a chance.” Last week, Snyder’s book “Hell on Two Wheels” was released and quickly became the No. 1 cycling book on Amazon.com. Synder, who has called La Jolla home for the past six years, is a firsttime author and she says every day is a new adventure in her life thanks to her new book. “In the first 24 hours it became the No. 1 book in Amazon’s cycling category,” Synder said. “And it was No. 767 overall. I was just astounded by that — to break 1,000 on the first day was just crazy.” Snyder’s journey to writing a book on an endurance sport is a bit unconventional. It was only after she retired in 2005 that she took part in her first

Ironman Triathlon. At age 45, Snyder found that experience “taught me a lot about myself, failure ... it taught me that being vulnerable and asking for help is OK.” That was quite a change in her life after working as a business consultant with a full-time travel schedule for 20 years. “I had really never grown comfortable with failure,” Snyder said. Newly retired and not even 50 years old, Snyder looked for a new challenge. Her involvement with Ironman triathletes led her to the Race Across America. Many people may know it as The Great American Bike Race, which was televised on ABC’s Wide World of Sports in the early- to mid-1980s. The 3,000-mile race has had various starting and ending points in its 28year history, but has kicked off in Oceanside and ended in Annapolis, Md., the past three years. The race has begun in San Diego County since 2003. It’s a bit different than the world’s best known bike race, the Tour de France. With the Race Across America there are no stages.

UCSD softball will play for national title The UC San Diego softball team erupted for three runs in its final at-bat, to edge Cal State San Bernardino, 3-1, on Saturday afternoon to win the NCAA Division II West Super Regional title. UCSD (41-13), winner of the West Region, advances to the eight-team NCAA Division II Softball Championship in Salem, Va. which gets under way today. The Tritons have already set the single season school record for wins and will be making their first-ever appearance at the Championship. No. 7 CSUSB ends its season with a 35-24 overall mark.

The La Jolla Country Day track and field team won the Coastal Conference title two weeks ago, marking the sixth consecutive championship for the Torreys. Many of the all-time school records were broken this year including Sage Hagstrom, who broke two 21-year-old records set by Rashaan Salaam. Hagstrom ran a 22.54 in the 200 meters and a 49.26 in the 400 meters at Saturdays CIF prelims. Lee Klitzner broke two school records as well, running the 800 meters in 1:57.30 at a school meet and the 1,600 meters in 4:21.64 at CIF. Junior Togiaso broke the record for the discus throwing a 159-2’ at the Coastal Conference meet. Kaitlin McCallum broke her own school record in the pole vault jumping 12-

00’. Freshman Hadiyah Muhammad broke the school record in the Triple Jump at 34’ 9.5 at the Coastal Conference meet. Competing this weekend at the CIF Finals at Mt.

All New 2011 Routan’s

embers of Coastal Bay Girls Softball (formerly La Jolla Girls Youth Softball) won the Silver Championship at the 13th Annual Corky Russell Tournament in East County last weekend. The team, which is made up of 7- to-9year-old girls from The Children’s School, Gillespie, La Jolla Elementary, Bird Rock Elementary, All Hallows, Torrey Pines Elementary, Kate Sessions Elementary and the Museum School celebrated Monday by giv-

ing team manager Michael Fangman a new doo. Led by a complete three game, 11-inning pitching performance by Mary Fangman (from The Children’s School), the team gave up only two runs during the three games, beating Santee (7-0), East County (2-1) and Tierra Canyon (6-1) to claim the top award. Coastal Bay is generously sponsored by La Jolla Kiwanis and neighborhood businesses with its home field at La Jolla Elementary.

LJYB is flush with good news Potty humor is rampant at LJYB these days and all for a good reason. After seven years of planning, cajoling and some occasional arm twisting, the Cliffridge Park Restroom Renovation Project is in the books and LJYB took a break between games on Saturday to thank the many community leaders, tireless volunteers and generous business owners who had a hand in raising the $125,000 needed to construct the new facility. La Jolla Youth Inc. President Mike Wintringer handed out personalized “game balls” to the community leaders who were on hand to celebrate this terrific community project. The “Game of the Week” featured Bronco teams Souza & Souza Construction, coached by Mik Dimich and North Coast Dermatology, under the tutelage of John McColl. After the two squads took turns taking the lead with one another, the final inning’s dramatics seized the attention of the sizeable crowd that was assembled for the post-game ceremony for the restroom project. The Lasers regained the lead in the top of the seventh, highlighted by a towering bases-loaded double by Daniel “Diesel” McColl. Reed Farley, who came in relief in the final frame, struck out the last two batters but saved some heroics for the bottom half of the frame. Trailing by one with Maxwell Hyytinen on the hill trying to close things out, the Souza boys rallied to load the bases at which point Cole Dimich worked a game-tying base-on-balls, setting the stage for Reed Farley’s walk-off line-drive shot into the gap in left center field, giving the underdog Souza squad an 18-17 victory, and a real crowd-pleaser to wrap up the regular season. Undefeated at

the top of the Bronco standings is Simpson, Delmore & Greene (SDG), led by the hitting and pitching of Kyle Delmore and Dane Hansen and the power bat of Matthew Thefeld. Nick Hammell proved that he is a top closer with his last two strong performances to maintain their perfect record. Elsewhere in the league, RBC took the regular season honors with a 12-1-5 record in Pony and Morgan Stanley stretched their perfect record to 12-0. Pinto ended up with a statistical tie between Jeff Lang Homes and Willis Allen and this is when the playoffs will prove once and for all who are the champions so stay tuned. In the community, Island’s Restaurant hosted their 2nd “LJYB Night at Islands” fundraiser with over 100 supporters turning out to support the league. On Sunday, May 22 LJYB along with several other leagues hosted the 2nd annual “Home Run for Chelsea” Baseball Tournament. Eighty teams and over 1,000 participated to raise $25,000 for the Chelsea’s Light Foundation. This week, LJYB has 14 teams entered in the annual Tecolote Memorial Day Tournament, a competitive-yet-festive communityoriented event that is full of BBQs, decorated motor homes for the leagues, banners and tents, and plenty of cheering to fuel some long-running rivalries . Good luck to all the teams. Playoffs for LJYB begin on June 1 with Championship Weekend wrapping up the season on June 11-12. Schedules are posted at www.LJYB.org if you want to come watch some excellent youth baseball. —Tom Murphy, LJYB

dallas Cowboys quarterback tony romo holds up the championship trophy after winning the Cox Celebrity Championship.

NFL quarterback Tony Romo posted a final-round 67 (-4) to win the 13th Cox Celebrity Championship by two strokes over former hockey player Dan Quinn. Romo, who shot a 70 (-1) during Saturday’s first-round, announced that he was donating the $25,000 purse to the Brees Dream Foundation. Including Romo’s donation, $135,000 was raised for the Brees Dream Foundation, earmarked for four local charities — Rady Children’s Hosptial, San Diego Armed Services YMCA, Friends of Scott Foundation and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society — Pacific South Coast Chapter. “The number of fans and the amount of support for this tournament are each a testament to Drew Brees,” said Romo following the winner’s trophy presentation. “It’s a great tournament and I feel lucky to be a part of it.” First-round leader Mark Mulder finished at -1 under par for the tournament after a round of 74 on Sunday. He was followed by NFL Hall of Fame electee and San Diego State alumnus Marshall Faulk, who finished even par for the tournament. Four-time champion Rick Rhoden completed his 36 holes at one over par and tied for fifth with fellow MLB veteran Vince Coleman.

From Snyder, A20 when riders depart Southern California and it doesn’t stop until they reach the East Coast. The top racers finish in eight or nine days and the racers generally pedal about 22 hours each day. It’s a gruesome test of mental and physical endurance. “I wrote the book because I am an endurance athlete and I have found that pushing myself to my limits is a self-revelatory experience and I have learned a lot about myself through the type of races I have been in,” Snyder said. In her book, Snyder chronicles the riders

who dare to test those limits as she followed the race in a rented minivan in 2009. “Hell on Two Wheels takes the reader inside the Race Across America, the toughest, nastiest and most brutal cycling event on the planet,” said Bob Babbitt, an Ironman Triathlon hall of famer and co-founder of Competitor Magazine. “If you’re a cycling fan, you’ll love every page. And if you’re not? Prepare to become one! This book is a must read.” Snyder will now embark on a book tour which gets under way June 1 at Warwicks on June 2. “I’m looking forward to it and am seeing it as a big adventure,” she said.

From UCSd, A20 with a hard groundout to the right side of the infield. With one out, UCSD head coach Patti Gerckens inserted Granath, who was 0-for-3 since her last hit on April 16, for freshman designated player Charly Swanberg. Granath delivered, sending Lee’s outside delivery for a single into right field to drivein Lesovsky and Sepulveda and give the Tritons a 2-1 lead.

“I just knew [Lee] was going to come outside so I just got closer to the plate and I knew it was coming,” said Granath. Also last week, seven other teams wrapped up bids to the Division II Championship. UCSD will face East Region champion C.W. Post today at 9 a.m. Saginaw Valley State, Indiana (Pa.), Minnesota State-Mankato, Alabama-Huntsville, North Georgia and Midwestern State also qualified for the Division II Championship.

From SportS, A20 finals include Guerard (long jump, triple jump); 4x400 relay team of Katie Harmeyer, Jordan Linsky, Rachel Carroll and Hancock; Rosmary Chute (pole vault); Courtney Whinsenhunt (discus and shot put); 4x100 relay team of Sophie Mazur, Katie Harmeyer, Hancock and Lindsey Wilder.

CIF Division II prelims n La Jolla High — Andrew Farkas won the 1,600 with a time of 4:16.37, a personal best. Other qualifiers for CIF finals include Farkas (800); Miles Bowles (pole vault); Evan Anderson (pole vault); Manuel Torres (discus and shot put); Cory Wagner (400); Madela Watson-Newsome (200); Alex Eve (3,200); 4x400 relay team of Farkas, Eve, Watson and Wagner.

10 QUESTIONS

Rick Kornfeld works to further the scope of wireless technology

Museum opens two shows with contemporary views BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO he Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla will welcome the summer of 2011 with two striking exhibitions opening Saturday — “High Fidelity: Selections from the 1960s and 1970s” plus “Emperor’s River: Philipp Scholz Rittermann.” Both will remain on view through Sept. 5. “High Fidelity,” primarily an exhibition of paintings, showcases more than 50 of the “greatest hits” from MCASD’s collection. The exhibit name is derived from the hi-fi stereo, “the manner in which we re-played the music of the ‘60s and ‘70s,” said chief curator Kathryn Kanjo. “It suggests that visual art can serve as the same sort of aesthetic analogue: as a record and reminder of a moment in time.” The works in “High Fidelity” reflect different styles, such as minimalism, pop art, and assemblage, and reveal the experimental spirit of a period when artists continued to challenge longheld stylistic conventions to allow room for contemporary content, Kanjo said. “Abstraction is represented in many variations — from the pull of mid-century abstract expressionism to refined monochromes that rejected that very approach.” Exhibiting artists, including John Altoon, Robert Irwin and John McLaughlin, explore

Rick Kornfeld has earned distinction in the wireless industry for his many innovations in the field of wireless voice and data communications. Currently, he is president and CEO of Grid2Home: Smart EnerRick gy Solutions. Kornfeld Kornfeld has worked for some of San Diego’s most notable tech companies, including Linkabit, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments. Prior to joining Grid2Home, he was Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, NextWave Wireless and NextWave Broadband. An avid cyclist and active in San Diego’s Jewish community, Kornfeld recently spearheaded a local Bike for Israel event to raise funds to support a school in San Diego Jewish Federation’s partner region in Sha’ar HaNegev. In addition, he is vice chair for the San Diego AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) council and on the national AIPAC council. He was previously on the board of the San Diego Jewish Academy. He lives in La Jolla with his wife, Carol, and their three children. What brought you to La Jolla? I grew up in San Diego. I went to Crawford High School and UCSD. I spent time in La Jolla as a kid, and went to the beach in La Jolla often. I’ve lived all over the county from the College area to Encinitas to PB to Penasquitos to Poway to Banker’s Hill. I never thought I’d have the opportunity to live in La Jolla, but we were fortunate to be able to move to La Jolla in 2001. What makes this area special to you? I love San Diego, and to me, La Jolla is the pinnacle of all the communities in San Diego. There is everything we could ever want in La Jolla from great restaurants, beautiful areas to walk, the beach, etc. And, it’s central to everything in San Diego. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? As a regular cyclist, I would love to see the potholes fixed. It always seems strange that in

Wife’s lawn sign is salute husband’s military career BY KIRBY BROOKS In honor of the recent 100th Anniversary of Naval Aviation, the Coronado Historical Society placed celebratory signs on the lawns of aviators’ homes. But William “Sweetwater” LaBarge, who has lived in La Jolla for the past 23 years, didn’t get such a sign. So his wife, Carol, took matters into her own hands and created a poster to honor her husband, a former Navy officer, carrier pilot, and veteran of two wars. “I saw a picture of the signs that were in the yards of aviator homes on Coronado and made a sign specifically and personally for Bill,” she said, bursting with pride for her husband’s many military accomplishments. “I placed it in the front yard so he would see it whenever he opened the door.” The sign still sits on their lawn on Gil-

FROM ART, B1 surface tension, positive and negative space, and push the limits of painting itself. Other artists such as Sol Lewitt, Alfred Jensen and Donald Judd, employ systems to determine their compositions. Other works on view, according to Kanjo, reflect a grittier, often informal quality. Artists like Vija Celmins, Bruce Connor, Edward Kienholz and John Baldessari use found materials, expanses of text, and prosaic imagery to reference the real world as much as the art world. “While many artists mined the potential of abstraction, others turned to familiar if unexpected imagery and content in their art,” Kanjo said. “Vija Celmin’s steam tray of eggs updates the traditional still life, just as Alexis Smith’s witty collages integrate literary and media references.” In addition, “High Fidelity” will pay tribute to the late, great art patron Murray A. Gribin (19232011), an “inspired trustee” of MCASD since the 1970s. Gribin and his wife, Ruth, settled in California in the 1940s. Together they built a lively collection of recent art from the West Coast. At MCASD, the Gribin collection was the subject of a 2006 exhibition, “La Dolce Vita.” Gribin donated more than 75 works to MCASD. “High Fidelity” will feature some selections with an

The wedding was conducted in the Thai language, so much of it was not understandable, according to Portia, who added “but the beauty and gentleness of Kran’s family when they attached strings to our wrists from theirs was very memorable and sacred — perhaps that’s where the term ‘tying the knot’ comes from.”

Memorial Day started with the Civil War. True. It was a response to the unprecedented carnage of the Civil War, in which some 620,000 soldiers on both sides died. The loss of life and its effect on communities throughout the North and South led to spontaneous commemorations of the dead. In 1864, women from Boalsburg, Penn., put flowers on the graves of their dead from the just-fought Battle of Gettysburg. In April 1866, women from Columbus, Miss., laid flowers on the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers. It was recognized at the time as an act of healing regional wounds. — CNN

Seared Ahi with sweet and sour beets, cucumber, celery, horseradish and fiddlehead ferns

Whisknladle serves fanciful dishes without a fancy façade By WILL PARSON or a dish to be described as “meat butter” you know it must be rich. And the charred bone marrow at Whisknladle, achieves a certain fatty, salty, gelatinous glory with just a few unassuming cross-sections of veal femur. Cut in half for easy access, they are heavy enough in constitution to be deceptively formidable. The capers and lemon successfully combat the melting marrow, like a detergent cutting through grease. Definitely try it if you’ve never have before and the idea of spreading marrow on toast doesn’t immediately scare you away. The dish is typical of Whisknladle, which head chef Mike Litta said takes “classic bistro ideas” and reworks them to add a little surprise. But that’s definitely not to say the rest of the menu is as fatty as the marrow — just that the menu is straightforward and carefully prepared. A much lighter example would be the Seared Ahi, which plays almost like a meat salad.

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. ■ This week: Whisknladle’s Wild Prawns with Cuttlefish Ink Tagliatelle Marinated sweet and sour beets, cucumber, celery, and fiddlehead ferns result in a clean-tasting meal, with a horseradish sauce adding a little bite. Close to Whisknladle’s core is the focus on local ingredients (though the ahi currently comes from Hawaii). Several items on a recent menu refer specifically to the farms where ingredients originated, such as the Crows Pass salads, the Carlsbad Aqua Farm mussels, and the Pitman Farms

chicken. Liotta recalls from memory the names of a handful of farms from the Escondido area to the Tijuana River Valley (Suzie’s Farm) that the restaurant utilizes. He also said, “Just about anything we can make, we make it in-house. Pickles, ice creams, everything.” At another time of year you might find halibut instead of ahi. Liotta said the menu changes very consistently — every three or four weeks, “depending on what the farmers might have and what we feel like doing.” He has only been with Whisknladle for several weeks, but the transition has been an easy one for Liotta. “I kind of fell right into the place. It’s food that I enjoy cooking,” he said. He described his personal style as slightly more focused and “tothe-point,” but it seems to be a match for the Whisknladle ethos. Just like the bare-bulb lighting and polished metal surfaces in the large closed patio and indoor lounge and bar area, the staff seems to enjoy presenting flavorful dishes without a fancy façade.

Troop 4 honors four new Eagle Scouts Troop 4 recognized four members who achieved the highest rank in scouting during April 30 ceremonies at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. Honored with the Eagle Scout ranking were Jake Linsky, Matthew Schug, Colin Weber and Peter Zeller. In addition to the litany of requirements necessary to earn Eagle Scout (maintaining leadership positions, attending numerous camping trips and earning a variety of merit badges), each of the four scouts designed and implemented a public service project. n Jake Linsky’s Eagle Scout project involved clearing and bricking an area at La Jolla High School and installing benches for student use. n Matthew Schug’s project was building a portable, modular stage designed as a fishing pier for the Children’s Ministry at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. n Colin Weber’s project benefited the

Ronald McDonald House of San Diego as he constructed Adirondack chairs to accommodate guests. n Peter Zeller built a large, redwood kiosk in Balboa Park’s new dog run. In addition to the advancement of the four Eagle Scouts, Troop 4 also announced its summer schedule. It will offer merit badges in golfing, flyfishing, shot gun shooting, climbing and first aid. The troop also has a good number of outdoor activities and camps planned, such as visiting Catalina Island and Joshua Tree National Park, whitewater rafting in the Kern River, and days at Philmont Scout Ranch. Troop 4 meets at 6:45 p.m. Mondays at La Jolla Presbyterian Church. To learn more about Troop 4 and scouting, contact Scoutmaster Denis Tarakjian at dtarakij@ san.rr.com — Mark J. Munoz

Stellar cast adds to the charms of ‘Flower Drum Song’ revival Mindy Ella chu as Mei li and David armstrong as Wang ta in San Diego asian american repertory theatre’s ‘Flower Drum Song: a Musical revival in concert.’

Let’s Review

By ElizaBEth MariE hiMchak

An entertaining, intimate “Flower Drum Song: A Musical Revival in Concert” is playing through June 12 in a small theater adjacent to La Jolla Playhouse. The production, by San Diego Asian American Repertory Theatre, is a 2010 version that blends elements of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s 1958 Broadway hit “Flower Drum Song,” a 1961 movie by the same name, and a 2002 revival that updated the original musical. Though the word “concert” is in the title, this is a fully staged show packed with well-performed musical numbers, great dances, and too many funny moments to count. This version focuses on Mei Li, a Chinese refugee who is fleeing communism in the 1950s. She arrives in San Francisco advised by her recently deceased father to go to an old acquaintance, Wang Chi Yang, who runs a fading, old-fashioned Chinese opera house that his son, Wang Ta, wants to revitalize by turning it into a nightclub. The modern young Chinese-American man faces the challenge of convincing his adamantly traditional fa-

Wang ta (David armstrong) must chose between marrying a traditional chinese woman, Mei li (Mindy Ella chu), left, or the modern linda low (tiffany loui) in ‘Flower Drum Song: a Musical revival in concert.’ Photos by trinity tran ther to accept Western ways to make the family business a success. Meanwhile, Wang Ta is conflicted by his attraction for nightclub dancer Linda Low, a modern Chinese-American woman who only dates Caucasian men,

and his growing attraction to Mei Li, who represents the past Wang Ta is trying to abandon. As Mei Li, Mindy Ella Chu shows great talent as a singer that is immediately evident during the opening

song, “A Hundred Million Miracles.” She also convincingly plays the timid Mei Li with a comedic timing that is a successful counterpoint to her rival, the exuberant Linda Low (Tiffany Loui). Loui is a talented dancer

and actress who the audience could easily dislike if rooting for a Mei Li/Wang Ta romance. However, Loui makes Low lovable in her own right, showing her lighter side with physical comedy involving her frustration over dancing with long sleeves attached to a traditional Chinese outfit. She also shines in the number “I Enjoy Being a Girl.” As for Wang Ta (David Armstrong) and Wang Chi Yang (Albert Park), the two play off each other well as they stubbornly try to keep their convictions. Park is especially hilarious with the vagabond sailor bit, and Armstrong convincingly delivers some of the funniest lines in the two-hour show.

Dark humor + dysfunctional family = oddly appealing ‘August: Osage County’ If you go

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

Is it only in America that playwrights write about and audiences laugh at family dysfunction? In his Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning drama, “August: Osage County,” Tracy Letts creates a family torn apart by their father’s disappearance. As they gather to figure out what to do with their drug-addicted, iron-willed mother, the situation exposes all of their own tragic flaws. In a play that reveals characters who tackle cancer, addiction, incest and infidelity, Letts’ profound dark

■ What: ‘August: Osage County’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings to June 12 ■ Where: The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park ■ Tickets: $29-$85 ■ Contact: (619) 23-GLOBE ■ Website: TheOldGlobe.org humor lightens every throw of the dart of disorder. “My wife takes pills and I drink. That’s the bargain we’ve struck” are words spoken by Beverly Weston (Robert Foxworth) in the first and only few moments he’s onstage. Those words forewarn of what’s to come. When Beverly disappears and is ultimately found dead, his children return home, mainly because that’s what children should do and not out of any sense of a loving

bond. Barbara Fordham (Angela Reed) arrives with her husband Bill (Joseph Adam) and daughter Jean (Ronette Levenson) in tow. Barbara has already helped her mother get off an addiction to drugs once, so she’s not very empathic about going down that road again. She’s also dealing with a 15-year-old daughter who smokes pot and a husband who’s had an affair with one of his students. Trying to create some order in this chaos, Barbara must also listen to her sister Karen’s (Kelly McAndrew) high-speed rants about how happy she is with new finance (Robert Maffia), and deal with sister Ivy (Carla Harting), who is having an affair with her cousin Charles (Haynes Thigpen). The ensemble cast — which includes Robin Pearson Rose (Mattie Fae Aiken), Guy Boyd (Charlie Aiken), Todd Cerveris (Sheriff Deon Gilbeau), Kimberly Guerrero (Johnna Monevata) — is

amazing. But it’s Lois Markle (“Hedda Gabler,” “True West,” “The Grapes of Wrath,” “Albee’s Women” — at The Old Globe) as matriarch Violet Weston who gives a tour-de-force performance. With each revelation about her own self — “I have a greater affinity with the damaged,” we learn how troubled this woman truly is. And the bitter barbs she constantly throws at her girls, “you are as sexy as a cardboard box,” naturally curb their concern for their cruel mother. Applause also goes to The Globe’s design team on this production. David Zinn (Scenic), Clint Ramos (Costumes), Japhy Weideman (Lighting) and Fitz Patton (Sound) have created a set that is almost a character in the play. This is the third multi-story house for the stage the team has designed this season. And this one, a worn and weary home in the Oklahoma plains, has indi-

vidual rooms where inhabitants reveal secrets of their past — or sins of their present — or those of family members. Within the walls, the parallels to Greek tragedies come fully alive. Patrons should note that the play contains a lot pro-

fanity and smoking. However, the thoroughly engaging cast, emotionally-charged play, and Markle’s ability to turn a sauerkraut-laden accusation into a cupcakesweet moment of laughter is a reason not to miss “August: Osage County.”

Plenty of hoo-doo, hilarity make ‘Dram of Drummhicit’ a hit By Diana Saenger LET’S REVIEW Barely four lines of dialogue are spoken by performers in Arthur Kopit and Anton Dudley’s world premiere of “A Dram of Drummhicit” at the La Jolla Playhouse when the audience erupts in laughter. But then why wouldn’t they laugh?

At first, Charles is welcomed with open arms, as the townsfolk have already been blessed with some seed money from Bruce to put them in a receptive mood. Reverend Hagglehorne (Larry Paulsen) is excited to see Charles and friend (Joseph Culliton), so he can show them the bodies in his church basement that have “popped up on the bog like a pimple,” and that they, too, will have to deal with.

profanity in front of his guests. At one point, Paulsen is so animated, he fires off his lines so fast he gives Bruno Tonioli (judge on “Dancing With the Stars”) a run for the best laughs. After a trip to the pub, Charles tries to recover from a shot of the island’s disgusting trademark ale, Drummhicit. There, he’s forced into Island Jeopardy as bartender Mackenzie (Kelly AuCoin) pointedly questions him about the golf course project. Slowly Charles begins to realize not all is as it appears in this whacky place. British museum worker Felicity (Kathryn Meisle), who hopes to add the bog bodies to the museum’s collection, goes into detail to Charles about the lore of the land — the floating bodies, fairies on the island, and the mysterious washerwoman. It seems when she appears someone will die.

This is a short play, so between blinks, Charles and barmaid Fiona (Polly Lee) are soon nestled under the covers together. What’s really funny about this scene, more than the fact her dad (John Ahlin) sits in a chair at the end of the bed watching them, is Fiona’s explanation about how she knew Charles was a fairy like her. Just when things start to make sense, in marches a funeral procession for the town fool, William Ross (Alan Mandell). Because Charles saw the washerwoman with a shirt like William’s, he believes he’s the next to die. William sits propped up on pillows in a wooden casket waiting for that moment. What happens next, is best left to the fairies. Suffice to say, the cast of “A Dram of Drummhicit,” under the direction of Christopher Ashley, does a great job of keeping the audience in stitches.

‘Asher Lev’ explores what it means to be an artist in gripping drama premiering at North Coast Rep By Diana Saenger Aaron Posner and Chaim Potok’s adaptation of Potok’s classic novel, “The Chosen,” received critical and audience acclaim in 1967. The adaptation of another Potok novel, “My Name Is Asher Lev,” will have its world premiere at North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT). The story of a young Hassidic artist torn between observance of his Jewish faith and the conflict of who he truly is runs June 1-26. NCRT artistic director David Ellenstein has a long history with Potok’s books and the play adaptation of “The Chosen,” which he produced five times across the country. “It’s an important part of my life,” Ellenstein said. “I’ve always had an infinity and connection to Potok’s writing. I read ‘Asher’ many years ago and the book had a profound effect on me. I contacted Aaron Posner,

The audience was so engaged we decided to put it this season’s lineup.” In the drama, Asher is an artistic genius whose gift and passion for drawing and painting is in conflict with some Jewish laws. “It really is about being true to yourself,” Ellenstein said. “It’s about the balance

of one’s faith and culture and one’s calling to pursue what he feels is necessary. The play also deals with where the line is crossed or not crossed, as to doing what one needs to do or not do, and how hurtful it might be to those they care about. “Certainly those familial and societal issues are relevant at any time. But Potok’s writing resonates beyond a specific community — it could be about any group of people dealing with these issues.” Ellenstein directs “My Name Is Asher Lev,” which is performed by three actors: Ellenstein, Craig De Lorenzo and Crystal Sershen. Ellenstein’s career at NCRT includes direction of a long list of plays and acting performances in many as well. “This one has been tricky; not as easy as when I directed and appeared in ‘Talley’s Folly,’ ” Ellenstein said. “Chris Williams is co-director and that’s helped me im-

merse myself more in my character.” NCRT expects high demand for tickets to “My Name Is Asher Lev,” and Ellenstein said he understands why. “After I read Potok’s book, I was more tolerant of all

people, and that no matter how weird their customs might be you, you have to look past that and see where they come from and who they are. “What people are mostly after, is the same thing: being

in touch with humanity and God in their own observation. I think Potok communicates that well. The play has humor, is heartfelt, and intelligently and emotionally gripping. It takes you on an intensive journey.”

World of Possibilities” was the theme of the 2011 benefit for The Preuss School UCSD on May 14 at the Hyatt Regency-Aventine. The charter middle and high school’s mission is to provide a top-notch education for motivated, lowincome students. Record-breaking net proceeds of $375,000 will be used in support of the school’s 820 students. The Preuss School has held seven annual fundraising celebrations. Two graduates, Marco Murillo (class of 2004) and Jackie Nguyen (class of 2006), were the keynote speakers. Both were among the school’s first classes and each, while taking a different professional path (Murillo in politics and Nguyen in musical theater), came with a message that hard work and perseverance pay off. “The Preuss School represents opportunity … to become anything we want through higher education, and to exceed above and beyond society’s expectations,” Nguyen said. After graduating from Cal-State Fullerton, she performed in the national tour of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” and is pursuing musical theater in Los Angeles and New York. Murillo, a UCSD graduate and now a Ph.D. student at UCLA, also shared his views of the school. “Though my main goal was to attend college, my experience at Preuss became so much more than that,” he said. “For the first time, I had the opportunity to develop friendships with peers of different nationalities, ethnicities and race.” Preuss principal Scott Barton told supporters, “Our students come from 41 different Zip codes, but they all have a common goal – to become the first in their families to graduate from college.” This year, 95 percent of Preuss School seniors were accepted to four-year colleges and universities, with 81 percent accepted to at least one University of California campus, the largest percentage in school history. The Preuss School UCSD was recently named a California Distinguished School by the state’s Department of Education. In 2010, it was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. It was also ranked 16th among America’s top 100 high schools by Newsweek and was the only California school in the top 20. COURTESY PHOTOS

Keep young minds sharp over summer vacation By StatePoint Media There’s nothing kids look forward to more than summer vacation. But summer can also be a prime time for the summer slide — when grade school students forget some of the reading and math skills they learned during the school year, according to the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL). That learning gap forces teachers to play catch-up when school starts again in the fall. “Parents can play critical roles in ensuring children maintain their academic skills in reading and other subjects over the summer,” says Emily Kirkpatrick, vice president of NCFL. “The key is to associate learning with fun activities.” Here are some ideas to make learning fun this summer: n Encourage bright spots: Parents and students often associate the summer with remedial classes. But encouraging your children’s interests and strengths is a great way to associate fun with learning. Try enrolling them in classes See SuMMer, B19

Olympic high-jumper to speak at Scout breakfast The San Diego-Imperial Council of Boy Scouts of America will hold a complimentary community breakfast 7 a.m. Thursday, June 2 at the Scottish Rite Center 1895 Camino Del Rio South. Former Olympic champion Dwight Stones will be the keynote speaker on the topic “Prepared. For Life,” the national Boy Scout theme for 2011.

Seats for the event are available by RSVP at (619) 298-6121, ext. 211 or 251. Stones, 59, is a television commentator and a two-time Olympic bronze medalist and former three-time world record holder in the men’s high jump. During his 16-year career, he won 19 national championships. For more information on the Council of Boy Scouts, visit sdicbsa.org.

From Summer, B18 or camps that focus on their strengths and let them develop lifelong hobbies that are fun and good for them. n Be creative: A quick search online should yield a lot of great suggestions for creative, fun learning activities both online and off. For example, the nonprofit website Wonderopolis.org encourages children and parents to explore the things they wonder about with daily content, like “Why Do You Get Ice Cream Headaches?” or “How Can You Be a Human Compass?” You and your children can also nominate your own “Wonder of the Day” on Wonderopolis.org by submitting your own curious question. You can even create your own video and include the link to it on YouTube or Vimeo in your submission. n Let them run wild — In the library: Make a big deal out of getting your children their own library cards. Then make frequent trips where kids can pick out anything they

want to read that is age-appropriate. Experts say reading four or five books over a summer will maintain reading skills, so long as the selections are challenging enough. n Make travel fun: Educational games and workbooks can make long trips fun. But you can also brainstorm new and exciting things to do once you arrive at your destination. For example, a visit to grandparents can prompt a family genealogy project. Or learn how to send a message in a bottle at Wonderopolis.org and give your kids an experience they’ll never forget. n Plan learning adventures: Take excursions to museums, national parks, zoos or aquariums. Or try a hike that focuses on birds, plants or any special theme. Tie a book or educational program to the adventure (either before or after), so your child will connect real life to learning. Alternatively, you can expose a child to a new piece of music before a concert the whole family can enjoy.

If you are selling a home or estate in La Jolla, read this... Prime Real Estate in La Jolla is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?

Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase La Jolla real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www. lajollalight.com searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 115 countries and over a 30-day period in March, the site generated 32,826 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily

What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, Japanese or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in La Jolla can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. La Jolla real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, La Jolla real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.
