Coastal Commission to rule on year-round seal rope July 11

How well do you know U.S. History? Quiz on B1
By Pat Sherman The unending dispute between advocates for seals and humans at Children’s Pool may be one step closer to a resolution after the issue goes before the California Coastal Commission this month. During a July 11 hearing the commission is scheduled to decide whether to grant the City of San Diego a coastal development permit to install and maintain a year-round rope barrier at Children’s Pool, separating humans and seals. The city currently maintains a rope across part of the beach during the seals’ pupping season, from midDecember to mid-May. Seal advocates wish to keep the barrier up year-round to comply with the Marine Mammal Protection Act and ensure the safety of both seals and humans. Others feel the entire beach should be kept open for children, as required by a 1931 Tideland Grant and requested by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps, who paid for the iconic breakwater wall that keeps the beach sheltered from

“The staff will give its presentation with a staff recommendation to the commission and then the commissioners can discuss (the item),” Brown said. “Usually, if they approve it, it’s done with certain special permit conditions. The city would have to meet all of those conditions before the permit is issued. Depending on how motivated the applicant is, that could take a long time or be very brief.” The permit conditions include: limiting the permit term to three years

La Jolla fireworks to proceed as judge puts his ruling on hold By Pat Sherman It appears that La Jolla’s Fourth of July fireworks will proceed as planned, despite another legal challenge from environmental attorney Marco Gonzalez, who says the city’s practice of routinely granting permits to the organizers of pyrotechnics shows conflicts with its municipal code, which calls for scrutiny of park use permits — including costly environmental reviews. In a statement released June 18, San Diego Superior Court Judge William Dato affirmed his June 14 tentative ruling against the city on two related counts. His ruling invalidated last year’s city code amendments designed to avoid assessments of fireworks under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and said San Diego also erred by not conducting an environmental review of those amendments. A statement released by the city attorney’s office in response to the ruling said “applying CEQA in this manner is unprecedented.” “The judge’s decision precluded the city from adopting an ordinance that sets out a permit process no different than many other cities and consistent with the city’s historical practice,” the statement read. Dato issued a stay on his ruling through Sept. 7 that basically clears the way for La Jolla’s event and carries San Diego through the summer fireworks season. Robert Howard, a lawyer for the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, is urging the city to appeal Judge Dato’s rulings, saying they could significantly delay the city’s ability to issue permits for everything from street fairs to non-profit fundraisers. Conducting an environmental impact report on fireworks shows could take 12 to 18 months, the city estimates. Despite environmentalists’ plans to issue a
Speaking with the media June 14 Robert Howard, a lawyer for the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, said he feels environmentalists will not have enough time to get a temporary restraining order or initiate other legal challenges that would prevent La Jolla’s annual fireworks display from proceeding.
Judge William Dato issued a stay on his June 14 ruling, which invalidated amendments to the city code that make environmental reviews of fireworks under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) unnecessary.

temporary restraining order on this year’s event, Howard said he is confident they will not have enough time to do so. “The threat that there’s going to be a temporary restraining order is overstated,” Howard said. “It was tried two years ago, and that was before the state granted us a permit to put on the show at Ellen Scripps Park. “The state has approved the specific location at which we operate … (and) has since weighed in and said there’s no evidence of environmental harm from fireworks. So, it can be undertaken exactly where it’s been undertaken for the last two decades.” Speaking with the La Jolla Light last week,
Gonzalez said he has a message to send the city, which he planned to unveil this week during council testimony. “We’re not 110-percent sure whether we’re applying for a temporary restraining order or taking some other action,” he said. “The city lost three lawsuits and the events have taken place illegally twice before, so we’re factoring that into all the other variables when we decide what we’re going to do.” Gonzalez, of Encinitas-based Coast Law Group, said he and his nonprofit group, CERF, are seeking three things in La Jolla. “One, we want an environmental review — that’s what the law requires,” he said. “Two,

we actually want the show moved. There are a lot of places in La Jolla where you could do a fireworks show where it wouldn’t be on a bluff next to a sensitive habitat — go to La Jolla Country Day School, go to La Jolla High School, get it off of the water.” Gonzalez also suggests that fireworks organizers erect a protective barrier over the edge of the water to prevent explosive material from getting into the cove, though he said he has not seen an example of such a barrier used for fireworks displays. “I’m a smart guy,” he said. “If I’m down at

Scientists find protein affects psoriasis and wound care ulates or mimics REG3A could boost cell growth and improve wound healing. The findings appear in the journal Immunity. News release at http://bit. ly/KX81Nh.
Research Report By Lynne Friedmann
P
soriasis is an autoimmune disorder of out-of-control skin cell proliferation. For hard-to-heal wounds, the problem is just the opposite: Restorative skin cells don’t grow well or fast enough. An international team of scientists, led by the UC San Diego School of Medicine, report on a molecule that may lead to new treatments for both conditions. Researchers analyzed skin biopsies of patients with and without psoriasis, as well as the skin of mice with psoriasis and with wounds. They discovered that the molecule regenerating isletderived protein 3-alpha (REG3A) is highly expressed in skin cells during psoriasis and wound-healing, but not under normal skin conditions. In tests on mice, researchers found that inhibiting REG3A slowed woundhealing but cleared up psoriasis. Thus, a drug that inhibits the expression of REG3A could represent a targeted way to treat psoriasis without the systemic immunosuppression problems of current treatments. Conversely, a drug that stim-
Reversing Huntington’s disease symptoms on horizon A drug treatment has been shown to silence the mutated gene responsible for Huntington’s disease, slowing and partially reversing progression of the fatal neurodegenerative disorder in animal models. Huntington’s disease afflicts approximately 30,000 Americans, whose symptoms include uncontrolled movements and progressive cognitive and psychiatric problems. The cause is a single-gene mutation which results in the production and accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain. Currently, there is no effective treatment. Researchers at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (UCSD School of Medicine) infused mouse and primate models of Huntington’s disease with one-time injections of a DNA drug that selectively binds to and destroys the mutant gene’s molecular instructions for making the toxic protein. A singular treatment produced rapid results: Animals moving better within one month and achieving normal motor function within two. The benefits also persisted nine months, well after the drug had cleared from an animal’s system and production of the toxic proteins resumed.
The findings appear in the journal Neuron. News release at http://bit.ly/ MmdXzv. Nanocubes for next generation antennas, lenses Researchers at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering have developed a technique that enables metallic nanocrystals to spontaneously self-assemble and organize into complex materials for next-generation antennas and lenses. The research comes from the new field of nanoplasmonics; the goal of which is to develop materials to manipulate light using structures smaller than the wavelength of light itself. Nanocubes used in this study were less than 0.1 microns; by comparison, the breadth of a human hair is 100 microns. Normally when cubes stack, they pack side-by-side. A new method was developed to graft polymer chains to the cube surfaces. Shorter polymer chains caused cubes to stack normally, while placing long polymer chains produced edge-to-edge stacking. This ability to create macroscopic films of nanocubes with two different orientations allowed for the reflection and transmission of different wavelengths of light. The findings appear in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. News release at http://bit.ly/LWMLJC. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Many sellers want to make their homes show their best to prospective buyers and to boost the home’s value and speed up the sale process. Here are some inexpensive ideas that may be helpful... 1) Start with a clean slate. Before you worry about placing furniture, each room should be spotless down to details like cleaning light switch covers. 2) Stow away your clutter. It's too hard for buyers to picture themselves in your home when looking at your clutter. Most counters should be bare. 3) Scale back on furniture. When a room is packed with furniture, it looks smaller. Make sure buyers appreciate the size of each room. Less is better. 4) Rethink your furniture placement. Highlight the traffic flow by arranging the furniture to guide your buyers from one room to another. 5) Add color to brighten rooms. Keep wall colors neutral, but accessorize with accent pillows, plants, bright vases, and high wattage light bulbs. 6) Set the scene. Lay logs in the fireplace, set the dining table, have a centerpiece, maybe a chess game set up in the family room, a bottle of wine and glasses on the patio table… all these help buyers envision living there and having fun. In bathrooms hide all personal toiletry items, put out scented candles, new towels and fancy soaps. 7) Make the entrance grand. Mow the lawn, trim the hedges. Add a pot of bright flowers to the entrance door and top it all off with a new doormat. When you have a showing, remove yourself and your pets.

Don’t let stock market volatility get you down this summer
By Scott Kyle, Chief Investment Officer at Coastwise Capital Group
Stock prices go up, stock prices go down. Lately it seems like daily 100-point swings in the Dow are the norm. Traders call it volatility, and the average investor is scared to death of it. But should they be? Is stock market volatility truly something to be feared? Or should it instead be embraced, taken advantage of -- or at worst ignored? One of the benefits of owning publicly traded securities (stocks) is that of price transparency. Translation: you know at any point during market hours what your stocks are worth. Imagine if this sort of continuous pricing applied to your home. Picture a ticker next to your front door that announced to you, minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, what your home was worth. Your neighbor gets a roof leak and wham: the price of your home plummets by $10,000. It would be enough to drive anyone crazy. Yet otherwise rational people seemingly can’t help but get sucked into watching the price of their stock holdings fluctuate (often wildly) day to day. Worse yet, these investors who state their time horizon for holding stocks is 5 years, 10 years, or more, will sell a good company for no other reason than the price is down – and the fact that they can (as in, it is easy to sell a stock. Try selling your home with the click of a mouse). Thus ironically, some of the benefits of stocks – the fact that they are regularly priced and that they are liquid (can be easily sold) – prompt people to take actions that are not in their financial interest. Rather than being fixated on daily headlines and stock price movements, investors should focus on the fundamentals of the businesses they own – or hire someone to pay attention to what really matters over time. If stock prices move dramatically, investors with the time and skill should avoid the example set by most retail investors and take advantage of these fluctuations by selling high and buying low. Simply put, volatility is neither good nor bad: it is just short-term white noise. Most long-term investors should simply ignore it, and only the few nimble traders who can enhance returns through intelligent trading should attempt to reap any benefit. When markets hop around like a fish out of water, many investors react like this is the first time in history stocks have exhibited such volatility. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Stocks have been and will always be volatile, not because they are unique when it comes to financial assets, but because they are priced regularly. Don’t let this fact cause you to make inferior investment decisions. Turn off the TV, shut down your computer, and go enjoy your summer.

From Firewroks, A6 the edge of the water and I’m a sensitive critter and I don’t want a bunch of flaming sh*t flying on my head, what could I do? Put up a chain-link fence, 20 feet high, 50 feet long, (with) a flame retardant fabric on it, (which is) relatively inexpensive and readily available on the commercial market. … On some level, I just think we’ve got laziness and people who are really unwilling to admit that what they do has a bad impact on the environment.” Gonzalez said the main impacts to the environment from fireworks shows are noise, light and pollutants. “At nighttime when you shoot off a bunch of really loud bombs, that are really, really bright, the birds abandon their nests, the marine mammals flee into the water,” he said. “At the ground level you have cardboard, paper, fuses, a whole bunch of stuff that gets strewn about a 300-foot area, including directly into the water. “We’ve proposed a million different ideas to the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation and to the city, to no avail. They’ve not offered one single thing in terms of settlement or making the show more environmentally appropriate — not one.” Deborah Marengo, director of the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, balked at Gonzalez’ suggestion that the fireworks should be moved to an alternate location. “I really don’t see why it’s up to him,” said Marengo, who formed the foundation to maintain the fireworks show after George’s at the Cove owner, George Hauer, could no longer afford to produce it. “Since 2009, the people in this community have been contributing anything they can give to ensure that the event still goes on at La Jolla Cove,” Marengo said. “When I have to (consider) one person trying to dictate to La Jollans where they should celebrate their Fourth of July … I don’t think there’s even a decision or a discussion to be had.” Marengo agreed that the CEQA review of fire-
Coyotes suspected in rash of missing cats
works shows Gonzalez is seeking could have wideranging effects that would prohibit many civic events from occurring. “The regulations that Mr. Gonzalez would like to impose on the La Jolla fireworks would mean a citywide change, and that citywide change would then require a CEQA review of every park use and special use permit in any park or public right-of-way in the city of San Diego,” she said. “Now it’s not just about fireworks. It is about the La Jolla Marathon, it is about the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. All these nonprofits that try to raise money for their cause will now have to go through an environmental impact review that will cost upwards of $100,000. “You take the La Jolla Fireworks show at $27,000 and you now tack on an additional $100,000 a year for us to do an environmental impact report and it will go away — and most of the events that take place in the city of San Diego will probably go away. The overall effect that that will have on the City of San Diego in terms of tourist revenue and sales tax is endless.” Howard said Dato’s decision was in response to last year’s ruling by San Diego Superior Court Judge Linda Quinn (Judge Quinn retired on Feb. 29, 2012) who ruled that all city-permitted events were subject to CEQA review. Dato ruled that before the city could amend its code to exempt fireworks shows, those amendments were subject to CEQA review. “I think the reason the Judge Dato stayed his decision is because the court of appeals has to rule on Judge Quinn’s order,” Howard said. “If the court of appeals says Judge Quinn was wrong and none of these events are really subject to CEQA, then Judge Quinn’s ruling makes no sense. … The city is free to continue to permit the way it’s been permitting and if the judge decides that he somehow wants to lift the stay in September, then the city is free to appeal that. Basically, these legal rulings are out there, but the court of appeals has to weigh in first before they’re going to have a practical effect on the way things are done.”
By Pat Sherman Three black-and-white cats belonging to La Jollans residing within a two-block radius in La Jolla’s Beach Barber Tract neighborhood went missing last month, as well as one pure black cat, which disappeared from Bird Rock on June 17. Carol Randolph said her blackand-white cat, Buster, has been missing from her Vista de la Mesa home since May 3. “I’ve got posters all over La Jolla,” said Randolph, who is offering $500 for his safe return, “no questions asked.” “He’s never been out overnight,” Randolph said. “He’s an indoor-outdoor cat and typically stays within a block.” The cat owners have been in contact with one another to share information. “We’re all broken-hearted,” Randolph said. “To have a healthy animal vanish, it haunts your dreams. You just can’t stop looking and you can’t let it go.” Anyone with information about Buster should call Randloph at (619) 518-6130. Dan Desousa, deputy director with the county department of animal services, advises cat owners to keep their pets indoors. “That solves your problem com-

pletely,” he said. “Ideally, you should have an ID tag on them, and preferably a microchip.” Desousa said the percentage of owners who redeem their cats from animal control is only about three to four percent. “A microchip is proof positive of who that animal belongs to,” he said, noting that all unidentified cats who show up at animal control are first scanned to see if they contain a microchip bearing its owner’s name and contact information. Desousa said cat killings, tortures and nappings are very rare. In most cases, he said, the culprit turns out to be a coyote. “I’ve seen coytees walk out of downtown San Diego,” he said. “San Diego’s got little fingers of canyons throughout our communities and that’s what they use to get back and forth. Coyotes are a very adaptable species.” County animal control posts photos and descriptions of all the animals in its possession.

Book delves into tumultuous, transformative tenure of University of California system president Richard Atkinson By Pat Sherman Richard Atkinson had spent 15 years as UCSD’s chancellor when in 1995 he was tapped to become president of the University of California system, overseeing its nine prestigious research universities. However, neither his tenure at UCSD nor his time as the National Science Foundation’s deputy director could have prepared him for the firestorm that awaited. With tensions already running high over the state university system’s nearly a $1 billion budget shortfall, the UC Regents voted to end affirmative action in its admissions and hiring, just four weeks into Atkinson’s tenure. How Atkinson dealt with that controversial decision and went on to lead the university system as its 17th president is chronicled in a new book from the University of California Press, “Entrepreneurial President: Richard Atkinson and the University of California, 1992-2003.” “I think it’s sort of an insider’s view of higher education … and how the regents, president, faculty, students and the general public all get involved in this activity of deciding on university issues,” said Atkinson, who returned to his life in La Jolla with wife, Rita, at the end of his presidency. Author Patricia Pelfrey interviewed some 80 people researching the book, which also sheds light on the growth of the university system at the end of the 20th century.
To buy the book ■ “Entrepreneurial President” is available online at ucpress.edu
“It’s an incredible set of interviews,” Atkinson said, noting that Pelfrey’s recordings will become part of the UC system’s permanent archives. “She interviewed just about everybody you can imagine who was involved in these things. Everyone sort of had their chance to comment on (the manuscript) as to whether she got the story right or not.” Atkinson recalled how early in his presidency he was almost fired by Governor Pete Wilson over the implementation date of Resolution SP-1, which ended affirmative action in student admissions.

mately kept his job and prevailed in delaying the measure’s implementation, arguing that students were not prepared for such a sudden and radical shift in policy, which Pelfrey characterized as “an institutional train wreck” and a “political dilemma of daunting proportions.” “The Board of Regents rolled back 30 years of history by abolishing the use of racial and ethnic preferences in admissions and employment,” she writes. “It was a decision made against the advice of the president, vice presidents, the system-wide academic senate and the nine chancellors of the university.” The issue became a national lightning rod. While President Clinton publically supported affirmative action, opposition to the policy became the centerpiece of Pete Wilson’s failed bid for the Oval Office. “It’s still an issue around the country, but certainly we were the first to face up to the problems,” said Atkinson of the measure, which was spurred by a complaint from Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Cook of San Diego, whose Caucasian son James, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of UC San Diego, had been accepted to Harvard Medical School in 1992, but denied admission
to UC’s medical schools based on his race. “From my view there was never a question that if the regents established a policy, it had to be followed,” Atkinson said. “That was the responsibility of the president. On the other hand, when they established the policy they had no idea of the implications, in terms of what had to be done, in terms of announcing it to students, the preparation. It just couldn’t be done properly on a oneyear schedule. So I did extend it. “A number of regents called for me to be fired, but … it worked out well. … That’s just part of being a president. You put your neck on the line every week or so with one group or another.” Though some feared state legislators would cut off university funding in retaliation for eliminating affirmative action, Atkinson said state funding diminished for other reasons — eventually causing some universities such as Berkeley to consider breaking off from the UC system and becoming a private institution. “The fact is that the share of the university’s

www.lajollalight.com From Atkinson, A10 budget from the state has just grown really small,” he said. “Twenty-five years ago it represented 40 percent of our budget. Today, it represents about eight percent. Twenty years ago student fees were almost negligible. Today, they’re significant.” In the book Pelfrey characterizes Atkinson as “often impulsive, quick to embrace new ideas, highly intellectual, but with a distinctly un-academic dislike of verbal dueling. Those who knew him up close also saw the drive, the willingness to remove people he did not think up to the job.” Asked how he feels about the characterization, Atkinson’s said it surprised him. “She sort of thinks that I’m very hard driving and was going to march forward no matter what,” he said. “I don’t think that’s always the case … (but) my life has been one where I’ve never been worried about getting fired and I’ve always sort of taken the view that I’m going to do what has to be done on a reasonable basis. If it doesn’t work out, I’m happy to take the consequences. “To put it another way, I don’t believe in delaying decisions forever. I believe in getting the choices out there and then coming to a decision, consenting with the faculty and the regents, but making decisions. I’d rather be wrong on occasion and make the decision in a timely way than never to make decisions and that what is so characteristic of universities. They never can quite make decisions.”

The decisions Atkinson made as UCSD’s chancellor, and their impact on the region’s economic and technological
growth, spurred Washington Post publisher Kathryn Graham to dub San Diego’s economic rebirth during the 1980s as “the Atkinson Miracle.” Atkinson said that during his time with the National Science Foundation and at Stanford University he came to value “the importance of getting research results that occur in the university out into the private sector. “The university’s cooperative activity has always been important for me, but that’s the way the world is going over time,” he said. Looking back on his presidency, Atkinson said it was his bold plan to force the college board to develop a different kind of SAT, the SAT-R, which is perhaps most significant. “That story has never really been told … and I think she tells it very well — all the complications, the conflict and the efforts by the college board to sort of block change,” he said. “I think that’s a particularly good story and one that is not that well understood by most people.” Though Atkinson would not say what advice he has given incoming UC Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla (formerly the dean of Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering), he said they have met on several occasions. “I’m very, very pleased with the choice,” Atkinson said. “We’ve gotten to know each other since he was appointed. I just know that he is the right person for the job and I think that he will do an excellent job.”

La Jolla to St. Croix: Summer views … here … and elsewhere
Natural La Jolla By Kelly Stewart
I
t’s June in La Jolla and sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s summer. The marine layer has been pretty persistent lately and we’ve had a lot of spring-like weather. But I don’t spend summer in La Jolla because each year I travel to St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands to work with hatchling leatherback sea turtles (our soon-to-be state marine reptile). Last week, on the official first day of summer, I left my favorite town for one of the best places to do turtle fieldwork. That day was shaping up to be one of those fantastical San Diego days — sun just right,
temperature just right, slight cool breeze off the ocean, marine layer nowhere in sight (not even lurking offshore), and beautiful blue skies. Oh, how I hate leaving my place on days like that! For the next eight weeks though, I’ll be enjoying a different view and I’ll be writing my column from St. Croix hoping to share with you a little bit about the island’s natural history. St. Croix, which is southeast of Puerto Rico and part of the Lesser Antilles, was acquired (along with St. John and St. Thomas, the other two U.S. Virgin Islands) by the United States in 1917 as a result of the Treaty of the Danish West Indies. $25 million later, the islands belonged to the United States. Primarily a sugar (and rum) producing island throughout its history, it is dotted with stone windmills and has plenty of interesting wildlife. Each week I’ll share some of the highlights.

Heard & Not Seen This hearing aid does for your ears what a contact lens does for your eyes: Improves your hearing without anyone knowing it’s there. Breaking News
At a recent gathering of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), scientists revealed a hearing aid microchip processor so small that it can fit inside a hearing aid shell custom formed to your ear canal to fit right next to the ear drum. It sits so deep in the canal that it ends where other hearing aids begin. And that makes it completely undetectable to anyone else. In fact, we like to say it’s “invisible.”
Packs a Punch
Despite its miniature size, the processor inside the “InvisibleIn-Canal” hearing aid is so powerful it supports the most sophisticated advances in digital hearing technology to date. It is so fast, that it samples the listening environment 2,000 times per second and makes automatic adjustments to the sound it delivers to your ear. When someone is talking, it is designed to quiet the background noise in-between syllables and amplify the speaker’s voice so that you can clearly hear and understand the words.
The Invisible In Canal (IIC) is virtually undetectable! As shown in this image.
No Whistling, Buzzing or Plugged-up Feeling
It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellation technology. This means the annoying whistling and buzzing your uncle’s old hearing aids used to make is a thing of the past. In addition, the positioning of the hearing aid beyond the second bend in the ear canal is meant to work with the ear’s natural acoustics to deliver more precise and natural sound—and resolve that plugged-up or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint of many hearing aid wearers).
Are You Missing Too Much?
You’ve worked hard all your life. It’s time to be reaping some of that reward. Don’t let your hearing loss rob you of the things you enjoy most in life: the relationships with your friends and family. You can get help now without suffering the stigma of yesterday’s hearing aids.

Spotlight on Local Businesses Find glittering investment at United Coin
Cygnet stages ‘Man of La Mancha’ this summer
By Marti Gacioch The ever-changing economy has sent many people in search of investment opportunities. Gold and precious metals remain top favorites. Peter Kevorkian, owner of United Coin and Precious Metals (UCPM) in La Jolla, is a coin and bullion broker of gold, silver and platinum. He specializes in guiding clients toward metal investments designed to meet their short- and long-term goals. Kevorkian said that first-time metal investment buyers should consider the current state of the Peter Kevorkian economy and the financial outlook (not only for the United States but for the world) in terms of anticipated inflation, currency printing and currency debasement. According to Kevorkian, the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank practice of adding currency to the money supply results in the debasement of paper currency. “They can’t print more gold, but they can print
Cygnet Theatre’s Season 10 opens with “Man of La Mancha” starring Sean Murray as Miguel de Cervantes, July 5-Aug. 26 in Old Town. “La Mancha” tells the story of Cervantes, a failed author, actor, soldier and tax collector awaiting trial by the Spanish Inquisition. His desperate attempt to prevent attacking fellow prisoners from destroying his novel leads to a unique agreement: Cervantes is permitted to act out the story within the novel, and the prisoners will decide if the tale is worthy of saving. What follows is a play within a play of a delusional man who believes himself to be the noble knight, Don Quixote. The musical features a book by Dale Wasserman, lyrics by Joe Darion and music by Mitch Leigh. Sometimes an actor is driven to revisit a role several times throughout a career. Cygnet’s Sean Murray is no exception. In this production, Murray will not only direct, but recreate the role he originally performed back as a Poway High School student in 1978. In 2001, he dove into the character of Cervantes once again at North Coast Repertory Theatre for an award-winning performance alongside John Guth as Sancho Panza. This show is dedicated to his memory. The 13-member cast also stars Bryan Barbarin as Sancho Panza and Erika Phillips as
more dollars, and that’s the overriding basis of the strong price of metals over the past decade,” Kevorkian said. “The metals have increased in price every year for the past decade, and 2012 looks to be no different.” Kevorkian said he’s been involved in metals since age 8 when he began filling his penny boards with circulated coins. By 1979, he was so heavily involved in precious metals that he was able to fund his college education after gold and silver values zoomed. Kevorkian learned the metal business on his own by going to coin shows, associating with fellow coin dealers, and asking a lot of questions. With first-time clients, Kevorkian asks their objectives and what their tolerance risk is. These fundamentals will shape the appropriate package for them. “I have a lot of suggestions and creative ways on how people can invest in gold or silver,” Kevorkian said.

‘Bird Rock Bandit’ lands in jail again
A
man who served time behind bars for his role in a La Jolla street fight that left a professional surfer dead five years ago was jailed again over the weekend and released Monday, after posting $10,000 bail. Eric House, 25, was arrested the evening of June 24 on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence at his 23-year-old girlfriend’s Pacific Beach apartment, according to San Diego police. SDPD Detective Gary Hassen declined to disclose details, but said the woman apparently did not require hospital treatment due to the abuse she allegedly suffered at her Chalcedony Street residence. On May 24, 2007, House and four other members of a hard-partying group of surfing buddies calling themselves the ‘Bird Rock Bandits’ got into a scuffle with acclaimed Hawaii-born surfer Emery Kauanui. The brawl ended when one of House’s associates, Seth Cravens of La Jolla, punched Kauanui, causing him to fall over backward and crack his skull on the pavement in front of his Draper Avenue home. Kauanui died in a hospital four days later. In late 2008, Cravens was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. House and the other co-defendants in the case pleaded guilty to lesser charges and were sentenced to jail time. —City News Service

Editorial on illegal signs draws response Our Readers Write
Merchants need signs Go to Hong Kong and tell me that we have too many signs. As it is, we are over regulated and it’s bad for business. Parking is over regulated and it is hurting my store. The city keeps painting more curbs red and installing more meters. Customers have a hard time parking and give up. They created the parking problem. It’s time for La Jolla to incorporate so we can run our own city on our own terms. La Jolla storeowner Via lajollalight.com
Essay on signs was hurtful, embarrassing I’ve lived in San Diego for 40 years and La Jolla for the past seven years. I found your editorial on signs in the Village mean-spirited and aimed at the wrong people. I’m a client of Nancy’s Nails and found the picture of their business name prominently displayed to be pointedly embarrassing for them. None of the other pictures showed the name of the “offender.” The owner has been in business here for more than a decade and does not deserve this kind of embarrassment. How can you compare a sandwich sign, taken in nightly, to an unsightly “Going Out of Business Sale” permanently (because they never actually go out of business) draped across a building? However, there was no mention or picture of any of those truly unlawful, vulgar signs. I think you owe Nancy’s Nails an apology. As I was walking through the Village the other day, I realized how important some of the small sandwich signs are to business owners. I passed
one, whose business was in a courtyard. How would potential customers know about the small business, if not for its sign? It’s a complex problem. I would hope that your future articles would take people’s feelings into consideration before you embarrass them with your writings – that is what La Jolla really used to be about. JoAnne Peinado La Jolla
Sign report worth waving Last week’s article on the proliferation of illegal, ugly signage was one of the most uplifting I have read in years! My girlfriend asked if it was me who had lunch with you! With the recent advent of the pole banners added to the plague of political signs and A-frames that block the sidewalks, the number of businesses in violation is close to exceeding those that are abiding by the laws. Unfortunately, when one business sees another getting away with a violation, they seem to follow suite hoping to stay competitive. This

n addition to the letters we received above, several others came from business owners who said they took down their signs at the request of customers who read last week’s editorial and stopped in to request removal of the ugly, illegal boards and posters that block the public right-of-ways throughout the Village. But, as you might imagine, some merchants took offense at the suggestion they remove their street advertisements, citing the high-cost of media advertising and the tough economy as the reason for their “temporary” signs. “Don’t you think we all want to have beautiful establishments that are thriving enough for us to make all the improvements needed?” one begging anonymity wrote. “As the economy improves, you watch and see how many businesses will remodel. The ‘illegal, ugly signs’ will fade away. We may be small business merchants but we have pride.”
Be assured The Light will continue to shine its spotlight on both the good and the what’s-not-so-good in town. Hopefully, we serve the community by bringing forth lively discussion that leads to workable resolutions for the issues that face residents and visitors alike. The central purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with the accurate and reliable information they need to function in a free society. And on that note … Happy Independence Day to all!

was the subject of Dr. Seuss’ own short story, “Signs of Civilization,” from 1956! (The Light reprinted it in the March 26, 2009 paper! Maybe you should run it again with the entire ending.) I think Dr. Seuss would be disgusted with the way the Village — especially Pearl Street — looks today when it comes to signs (and news racks). The lack of enforcement from Code Compliance, who admit this is a “low priority” to their department, coupled with the lack of consideration for our community from the obvious merchants and politicians, had lead to the sign blight we now have. Maybe if more people complained to Code Compliance (619) 236-5500 and the mayor approved a portion of the fines stay in the department, then they would be motivated to enforce the law. Other than that, it seems like the only thing that might work is a boycott of the businesses who pollute our city. Apparently money is the only motivator. Let us not forget: “A business with a bad sign is a sign of bad business!” Chris Cott WindanSea

Want government in or out of local decisions? There is a delicious irony in your article “Shores Association continues its push for park ranger” (June 21, 2012). As the “minimize government” chorus increases in volume nationwide (with many loud voices in La Jolla), the situation in the Shores provides a perfect example of what happens when government is minimized: people do whatever they please. Loud ice-cream trucks playing brain-worm music all day? Pushcart operators traversing the park? Proliferation of scuba and kayak companies transforming what was once a peaceful residential area? Welcome to the world of untrammeled free enterprise! And then there are the actions of individuals and groups: overnight camping, cars blocking the street, rowdy behavior, litter. Personal liberty in action! If government is the problem, how can it be that the problems in the Shores are mushrooming out of control? Minimize government? Be careful what you wish for — you just might get it. It appears that the Shores already has. David Rearwin La Jolla

Open the sluice gates at the Children’s Pool I believe there is no doubt we should open the wall, we should have done it years ago in 1998, when the city took funds from the T.O.T tax to resurface the wall and open the wall. The city did a very expensive study, saw it was possible, did nothing, and the funds disappeared. It is part of the maintenance of the Children’s Pool that the city is obligated to maintain and take care of, as committed to in 1934. The gates were included in the wall for a reason! All that money was not spent so that later the city could just come along and seal the gates up; it was spent because the engineer said the wall would not work with out them. The reason being was that the sand will build up against the top of the wall and instead of a pool, you will have a hill of sand. Just before they opened the Children’s Pool to the public in 1934, the engineer asked that the gates be closed temporarily, as too much sand was going out, and they have never been open since that time. I believe it is the city’s responsibility to re-open the wall — whatever it takes — to clean the beach and get rid of the sand and return it to what it is: a pool in the ocean. Ellen Scripps would have never built the wall on the idea that in years to come her beloved pool for children would be nothing
more than a pile of sand. The gates, at great expense, were put in the wall for a reason; time now to honor that reason. Open the wall, let the sand out, clean the pool, the city needs to do its job. Melinda Merryweather La Jolla
Time to tear down the Children’s Pool barriers I have an alternative solution for the Children’s Pool controversy. As a resident of La Jolla and San Diego since 1965, and a graduate of the College of Environmental Design-Architecture at University of California, Berkeley I have the sound solutions, which I put forth to the community: First, there is too much commercialization of La Jolla Cove and the Shores, and I remind you this region is a preserve for the sea creatures and not the human beings who visit the preserve. T-shirts and other sales items do not belong at the Cove or Shores, nor do structures at the La Jolla Shores disguised as “art.” I believe we need more community oversight and a stronger hand from the Coastal Commission, too. The Children’s Pool was built in a time when only 30,000 residents resided in La Jolla proper. Today this surf-breaker walk and the lifeguard tower, as well as the bathrooms at this Children’s Pool, are obsolete and should and must be torn down, uprooted of all the concrete and returned to its natural habitat.
The waves will cleanse the beach, and the seals and pup season will adapt to its natural habitat. This area today is an eyesore, health hazard, and resembles Hitler’s Atlantic Wall at Normandy, France. We can and must do better as a community, now in the 21st century. I personally will rally the La Jolla “elite” in a fundraiser to deconstruct these Godawful concrete monoliths and even recruit the Navy Seabees to lay explosives to take down methodically these concrete structures in a 48-hour demonstration of naval know-how and a cost savings to the community. The La Jolla Light can research the historical photo archives in Balboa Park to locate pictures of Children’s Pool before Helen Scripps took it upon herself to build the concrete barrier that creates Children’s Pool. I believe when the public sees what this location looked like before man’s imposing structures took over. they will mostly agree with me; let us return this real estate back to nature. “If” La Jolla is truly the crown jewel by the sea, then let us be in harmony with nature.

Library issues call for volunteers Summer is the busiest time of year for libraries, and the La Jolla Riford Library has seen an increase in circulation, patron questions, and the amount of work needed
to keep the library resources in order and on the shelves. To help solve these problems, I am seeking volunteers at the library who would be interested in donating their time to assist in these tasks. The ideal volunteer would be available to help at least two hours per visit, and at least 10 hours total per month. Our volunteers help with a variety of tasks and projects throughout the library, including cleaning and shelving materials, preparing books and media to be checked out, and a host of other special projects. If you know someone or if you are someone who might be interested in helping the community this summer, please contact us at 7555 Draper Ave., (858) 552-1657. The La Jolla community and the library staff all thank you! Catherine Greene Librarian
At cross purposes Years ago I sent The Light a note regarding the only logical solution to the lawyer-enriching Soledad Cross issue. Yesterday’s (June 25) Supreme Court decision buttresses the idea. The cross member of the cross should be removed, leaving an inspirational spire-like sculpture. Those who believe will “see” in their minds the removed cross member and others will simply see a sculpture honoring fallen veterans. The whole matter can be resolved for less than $500 and most will be satisfied, except for the lawyers benefiting from the matter. Arthur Lipper

Rose Marie Wilhelm, 94, of La Jolla, passed away on June 14, 2012, in Carlsbad, California. She was born to the late Claude and Helen Macatee on March 9, 1918, in Houston, Texas, and then later moved with her family to Glendale, California. Rose Marie, the second eldest of ten children, graduated from Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy in 1936. She married John I. Wilhelm in 1939 and they lived together in Glendale before relocating to La Jolla
in 1947. In 1954, Rose Marie, John and their three children, Diana, Jack, and Bill moved to Majorca, Spain, for one year to absorb the culture of the Spanish people and to also welcome the birth of another daughter, Michele. A third son, Rick, arrived after the family returned to their home in La Jolla. Once the children were grown, Rose Marie decided to go back to school, graduating from San Diego State in 1979 with a BA in art. Over the next twenty years, she was invited to display many of her beautiful paintings at local art shows. She also was an expert bridge player and continued to take advantage of the travel bug. Rose Marie was an active member of the La Jolla Opti-Mrs Club, Stella Maris Academy Club, the National League of American Pen Women, All Hallows Women’s Guild, Social Services Auxiliary of San Diego, a Brownie and Girl Scout leader, 1965 chairman of the Las Damas de los Ninos Debutante Ball, and was a President of the
Mercy Hospital and Medical Center Auxiliary.

Country Day’s Sanchez has solid showing at U.S. Open By Phil Dailey a Jolla Country Day golf coach Bill Cahoone saw something out of one of his golfers that was on par with the PGA’s best during the U.S. Open two weeks ago. No, it wasn’t a hole-in-one. What he saw out of recent LJCD graduate Alberto Sanchez was his ability to strike the ball as hard and as far and as accurate as anyone. Though Sanchez wasn’t able to make his two rounds consistent enough to make the cut, he did show the golf world that he would be back someday to compete with the best of the best. It was the No. 16 hole at The Olympic Club in San Francisco that impressed Cahoone so much. “He hit his driver and 3-wood and was about three yards on the green below the pin,” he said. “I didn’t see anyone else do that.” Sanchez’s two-day total of 149 was just one stroke short of playing the weekend. Despite missing the cut, Sanchez can at least say he shot better than Rory MclLroy (last year’s U.S. Open champion) and many other top professionals for that matter. “He spends a lot of time working on his game, there’s no doubt he’s going to be a good college player,” Cahoone said. Originally from Arizona, Sanchez spent the last two years attending Country Day, as well as frequenting the Titleist Performance Institute in Carlsbad. Sanchez will now head back to his home state where he will play collegiately at Arizona State. “He’s got a lot of upside to his game,” Cahoone said. “I’m sure, missing (the cut) by one stroke he was really disappointed but it was really a wonderful special week just to watch him play. I am sure he is going to be pretty happy with how he performed on a golf course that is just a brutal golf course.” After all, the winner of this year’s U. S. Open — West Simpson — shot a 1-over to win the tournament.

How Sanchez got to the U.S. Open Sanchez shot a 70 at the U.S. Open local qualifier in Lakeside and followed that up with a sixth-place finish in Daly City with a two-day score of 138. That was good enough to get him into the U.S. Open during Father’s Day weekend. Forgoing CIF regional Though Sanchez finished third at the CIF San Diego Section, he opted not to play at the Southern California Regional and a chance at the state tournament. “As long as he puts his team and his teammates in the forefront, I’m satisfied with his decision to not play in the regionals,” Cahoone said. “He would have gone if we qualified as a team.”

Spaun (San Dimas, Calif.) capped his career by earning All-America honors for the second year in a row, as he was one of 10 players tabbed to the Division I PING second team. Spaun, who was a third-team choice in 2011, becomes the first Aztec to earn back-to-back All-America honors since former standout Aaron Goldberg in 2007-08. Spaun led SDSU to its best-ever Division I finish last month, as the squad tied for fifth place after advancing to the match-play portion of the NCAA championships in Pacific Palisades, Calif. Individually, he logged his second-consecutive top-15 performance at nationals by tying for 13th place after coming in third in 2011.

As minicamp comes to end, Chargers take summer break From CHargers REports he San Diego Chargers wrapped up their final mini camp of the offseason last week, and with a slew of new faces, the team is optimistic about the upcoming season. “We have a lot of different guys — it’s a different team. We’ve never played a game together,” quarterback Phillip Rivers said. “The one thing is, being out of the post season the last two years, there is greater disgust or hunger to get back to playing in January,” Rivers added. The Chargers have missed the playoffs the past two seasons, but made several offseason moves with the additions of Jarret Johnson (DE), Le’Ron McLain (RB), Eddie Royal (WR) Robert Meacham (WR) and Demorrio Williams (LB) that will make them a contender for the ACF West title this season. “I think it’s going great,” Royal said. “There are a lot of us new guys out there running the plays for the first time in these (mini camps) and I think we’re doing a good job of picking up the offense. Guys are really working hard and jelling together.” Head coach Norv Turner also liked what he saw this offseason. “The thing I told our guys and where I think we’re at is that we have made great progress,” Turner said. “They see in each in other that we have a chance to be a very, very successful team. “We have an awful lot of work to do to get where we want to be but I think they see if we put that work in and we do develop that chemistry, we have a chance to be very good.” The team will take about a month break before the training camp gets under way in late July. The Chargers will hold their first preseason game on Aug. 9 at Qualcomm Stadium against the Green Bay Packers. The regular season will kick off with a bang for the Chargers as they play on Monday Night Football on the road against the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 10.

Elizabeth Rice Maget shares her business acumen with nonprofits Elizabeth Rice Maget is chair of the 2012 American Cancer Society’s Discovery Celebration, “Mission Under The Moon,” set for July 11 at L’Auberge Del Mar. She is also CEO of Innovative Employee Solutions, Inc. a provider of outsourced payroll and HR services. Maget is a 13-year member of Vistage, a board member of IES, Junior Achievement, Mede-cell, and most recently, Elizabeth Maget of CEO’s Against Cancer. She has received numerous honors, including The Monarch School Miracle Award and the YWCA’s Tribute to Women Award. Other nonprofit organizations that benefit from her support include the American Cancer Society, YWCA, Ninos del Lago in Guatemala, and the Akilah Institute for Women in Rwanda. What brought you to La Jolla? My husband! We moved to La Jolla from the San Francisco area in 1982. Henri, a research scientist, accepted a consulting position with one of the early San Diego medical device companies. The reason he wanted to come here is that La Jolla reminded him of the French Riviera. At first I missed the culture, restaurants and many accessible day trips from San Francisco, but he was right, and since then we decided to stay. We love the village, the views, and after working all day, going home. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? We all dislike the traffic congestion and poor road maintenance, but more than that, I dislike the cars speeding and even passing each other on Soledad Mountain Road. I would add some roundabouts between Soledad Road and Desert View so it is safer for children, dog walking, biking and the residents; or as an alternative, add some stop signs and crosswalks. In Bird Rock and on the lower portion of Via Capri, roundabouts have helped immensely. Also, parking permits for residents might be a good idea.

True. The bell was commissioned from the London firm of Lester and Pack (now Whitechapel Bell Foundry) in 1752, and was cast with the lettering (part of Leviticus 25:10) “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.” It originally cracked when first rung after arrival in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appear on the bell. In its early years, the Liberty Bell was used to summon lawmakers to legislative sessions and to alert citizens to public meetings and proclamations. — The Liberty Bell Center, Pa.

Academy student is finalist in Google Science Fair contest From Jewish Academy Reports Jonah Kohn, an eighth-grader at San Diego Jewish Academy is one of five finalists in his age group in the 2012 Google Science Fair. The competition drew thousands of entries from more than 100 countries. Kohn will fly to Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., on July 21 to present his project to the science fair judges and compete for $100,000 in scholarships and other prizes. His project, “Good Vibrations: Improving the Music Experience for People with Hearing Loss Using Multi-Frequency Tactile Sound,” has the potential to affect millions of people with hearing loss by enhancing their ability to enjoy music. Kohn said his project, which also won first place at the California State Science Fair and placed first at the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair, was inspired in a loud classroom where he and a friend were playing chords on a guitar, but couldn’t hear the music over the noise. After experimenting, the boys learned they could hear the music clearly by placing their teeth lightly on the head of the guitar’s neck. “No matter how loud the classroom was, I could hear the guitar,” Kohn said. When asked to come up with a middle school science project, Kohn connected his inability to hear the guitar to the experience of individuals with hearing loss and hypothesized that his experience hearing it by using his teeth might enable him to find a way for people with hearing loss to have a superior experience of music. To conduct the experiment, Kohn built a device that converts music to vibrations and delivers them to users’ bodies. His test

The groups listened to both modern and classical music first with speakers only, and then with speakers in tandem with his device. There was no effect on people with normal hearing, but the majority of subjects with hearing loss experienced a significant increase in their enjoyment. “Cochlear implant users experienced a 93-percent increase in their enjoyment of the music,” Kohn said. According to the World Health Organization, 278 million people worldwide have moderate to profound hearing loss in both ears, which makes the implications of Kohn’s research quite impactful. “I was surprised to make it to the regional top 90, and amazed to be chosen for the final 15. I feel very honored to be selected by judges who are top scientists from around the world and I’m excited to be a part of this competition,” he said.

Bright lights, home security
Let Inga tell you ...
I
think the worst part of being a single parent was the sobering thought that if I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t murdered on any given night, it was only because nobody felt like it. Of course, the feminist in me rebelled against such an attitude of fear. I did all the standard things: a Neighborhood Watch Program, good locks, a self-defense course for women, and even an answering machine message purportedly recorded by our Rottweiler. Part of the reason I felt so vulnerable was that in my first year of single postdivorce parenthood, the kids and I were victims of two major crimes (well, three if you count the orthodontist). The house was robbed while I was at work and every piece of jewelry I owned was taken. Five months later, my purse
was stolen and the perps attempted to access both my home and my bank accounts. Neither the kids nor I felt safe anymore. The kids lobbied for a 9 mm Glock but I was terrified theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d blow my head off by mistake, or that in our current nervous state, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d panic and waste the mailman. My younger sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allergies to animal dander precluded a real dog. Ultimately I settled on the Single Woman Home Alarm System that consisted of leaving the house ablaze with lights hoping it would look like there were at least 40 people in residence. Probably for what my electric bill was over those 12 years, I might have actually been able to put an alarm system in. But really, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have afforded one. Not the cost of the alarm system itself, which would have been a bargain compared to all those $100 fines from the San Diego gendarmes for responding to false alarms. In fact, I think my older son, in retaliation for being a latchkey kid, would have regularly set it off just for the entertainment value. As
FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? In addition to my husband and me, I would invite my parents and my in-laws, Aunt Marthe and Diane Sawyer. What is your most-prized possession? I have two; our home on Mount Soledad with its view and serene environment, and our 8-year-old Japanese Chin named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guitou,â&#x20AC;? who is naturally tranquil and devoted. He knows all of the shopkeepers in La Jolla who offer treats and tugs at me to go in when I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to. It is great for promotion. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly allow him to go in for a treat without at least buying something.
my second husband, Olof, always said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rory looks for excitement. And finds it.â&#x20AC;? In fact, I can see it now (and could certainly see it then): Rory sets off the alarm and when the alarm company calls, Rory tells them he is being held captive by masked intruders. The thrill of all those sirens! The SWAT team! Officers with guns drawn! The Channel 39 news cam! Social Services visiting mom! Rory and an alarm system were an incompatible combination. But for the record, the Bomb Squad incident really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his fault. I never did find a solution that made me feel very secure but I did ultimately remarry. Olof feels compelled to point out that his presence is the merest illusion of safety and did I really think he could defend me against a knifewielding intruder? But upon seeing the look on my face, he hastily added that he would, of course, breathe his last breath trying. (Correct answer.) The reason the issue of security has come up again is that there has been a rash of really brazen burglaries in our neighborhood lately, a
map of which shows our thus-far untouched house right in the epicenter. So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve obviously been cased â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and rejected. (A teeny part of me feels offended.) Sounds like they know I have a 2007 computer and a pre-paid cell phone that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a camera. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve obviously determined that the pickings are better elsewhere. Is this, in fact, the key to burglar-proofing your house: ancient electronics? $40 in loose cash? Jewelry that was already pre-stolen? But the creepy part is: How do they know? A close friend says that the answer is that our house just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything of real value inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are they going to take?â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your VCR?â&#x20AC;? Neighbors have become extra vigilant in letting each other know when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of town, as evidenced by this recent missive from the neighbor across the street: â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if a moving van pulls up to the house, if they start with the garage, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call the police until theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve finished in there.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing like a little crime humor to take the

edge off communal anxiety. Still, the kinds of crimes that have been occurring here really scare the daylights out of me and have brought all the security issues back, even though the now-adult kids complain the place is locked up tighter than Fort Knox. All of a sudden, I find myself leaving all the lights on again when we go out which annoys Olof beyond belief. He just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand the Single
Woman Alarm System mentality at all. As we returned from a recent evening out and pulled up to the house, Olof suddenly exclaimed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my god!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What?

La Jollan makes a mark in design world with Ferris fashion By Shelli DeRobertis Andrew Livingston wore a gown last June as he graduated with La Jolla High School’s Class of 2011, and this year he wears a new title: cofounder of the New Yorkbased clothing brand Ferris. His small Brooklyn shop, featuring unique custom garments, vintage attire, T-shirts, hats and sweatshirts, is celebrating its grand opening on July 4 at 243 Berry St. in Brooklyn, N.Y. Ferris reinvents classic, timeless pieces by hand cutand-sew craftsmanship. “Our style is kind of oldfashioned,” Livingston said. “We bring it back around and give it a new life.” The La Jolla native said he met Ferris co-founder Taylor Conlin, 20, just a month after he moved to New York to attend college, and their common passion for fashion design led them to create a clothing company. Livingston and Conlin made some custom items and sold them in a consignment shop for a while, and also sold them on the Internet.
Ferris shirts are printed in Brooklyn with fine water-based inks and occasionally heat transfers are used to obtain a certain effect.
Andrew Livingston, co-founder of Ferris, at Chelsea Piers in New York on March 10, 2012 while going over details of a photo shoot to market Ferris shirts and custom attire. COURTESY PHOTOS “We put a piece online and after six or seven hours it would sell so we ended up finding a spot in Brooklyn
and we just opened shop,” Livingston said. The brand name Ferris came from the popular car-

■ ferrisnewyork.com Livingston are friends, so while on a recent trip to New York he decided to purchase a custom Ferris suit. He was very pleased. “A.J. (Livingston) has made me the best suit ever and I am a guy who only wears Versace suits,” he said. Vintage deconstruct pieces are also created, and start at $150 for items such as denim jackets that have a personalized street look. Ultimately, Ferris aims for retail T-shirt sales to be the company’s largest aspect, and they are moving toward creating process prints of photographs on the shirts. Matt Larson is a successful co-founder of a premium wetsuit line who also manages Mitch’s Surf Shop on Pearl Street, and he is selling the Ferris shirts locally. Larson said he’s known Livingston for many years and the two used to work
together. “We hired him at Mitch’s and he has this passion to make things fundamentally better,” Larson said. At age 3, Livingston took up action sports and said his skill in both snowboarding and skateboarding led him to become sponsored by Billabong. “I grew up in the clothing industry by chance. I used to be sponsored for snowboarding and one day I went to the Billabong factory and got to pick out some stuff and saw the graphic designers working,” he said. Now, he’s the designer. He’s currently attending Parsons The New School for Design and will attend New York University afterward. “I want to get the best of both worlds,” he said. Livingston said he plans to come back to La Jolla for a week in August. “He’s thinking like an entrepreneur, he’s thinking like a CEO and regardless of what he does he’s going to be successful,” Larson said.

nival ride, the Ferris Wheel, which for the clothing company represents the idea of continuity, Livingston said. Taylor Spong, 22, joined Ferris as a marketing specialist who also has a flair for design. “We all work together on everything. We all make it happen and each one of us adds finishing touches to each segment,” Livingston said. Custom made-fromscratch suits start at $1,750. “Our custom suits have more of a youthful feel to them. They’re professional on the outside, but you open up the suit and there’s some crazy lining inside,” Livingston said. A suit they designed for one customer was cashmere mixed with speckled wool and leather sleeves. “People give us an idea of what they want and we will go to the factory or cruise around and find it,” he said. La Jolla resident Felipe Becerra is an attorney who said he wears a suit to work every day, and his son and

Henry DiRocco
n “As You Like It” follows flirtation, friendship and mistaken identity in one of Shakespeare’s mostbeloved comedies. Rosalind escapes into the forest and adopts the persona of a man to get close to her beloved Orlando. But when he falls for another woman, she must untangle the web of deceptions she has woven
to win her true love. Directed by Adrian Noble. n “Richard III” is one of Shakespeare’s most diabolical and outrageous villains. As the power-hungry lord sabotages those around him with cunning and treachery in his quest to seize the English crown, his tenuous path to victory begins to crumble. Royal Court Theatre director Lindsay Posner makes his Old Globe debut with this riveting portrait of obsession and betrayal.
• ‘As You Like It,’ July 17, July 25 and Aug. 28 • ‘Inherit the Wind,’ July 10, Aug. 7 and Sept. 5. Robert E. Lee tells the story of a schoolteacher put on trial for teaching Charles Darwin’s theories of evolution, and the two powerhouse lawyers who clash on issues of faith and science. Adrian Noble directs the courtroom drama loosely based on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial.
n “Inherit the Wind,” by Jerome Lawrence and
greatest artists, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci, face off in a painting competition orchestrated by political mastermind Niccolò Machiavelli (The Prince). The fascinating contest forms the backdrop for an even greater battle as the leading minds of the Renaissance clash over political gain, personal riches and the immortality of art. n “God of Carnage,”
Yasmina Reza’s Tony Awardwinning comedy, directed by Richard Seer, July 27Sept. 2 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre. Meet two pairs of parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park, who discuss the matter in a civilized manner.

With high-technology, UCSD students fashion new world of art By Will Bowen If you’re interested in the latest developments, discoveries and directions in technology and computing — especially as they affect the arts, media and music — the place to be is the Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts and Music (ICAM) major presentations, held at the end of the school year each June at UCSD. 2012 marks the 12th year that the ICAM presentations — a joint venture of both the Visual Art and Music Departments — have taken place. This year, they were held in the Mandeville Annex Art Gallery and the Calit2 Digital Theater, June 13-15. Peter Otto, a professor of music, headed up the activities. “This year’s projects were more practical and geared more toward the job market,” Otto said. “The overall concern was with historical themes, popular culture, pop music, mainstream media, and movie soundtracks. Many of the data visualization models could be considered as works of art in and of themselves.” The most powerful current that ran through the students’ works pointed out how improvements in computer technology can aid in historical research and help create new art out of old art. The new technology also makes it much easier for in-
Tera Miller studied the covers of Vogue magazine for her project. PHOTOS BY Will Bowen dependent enterprise by individuals who can now compete with the big companies in the marketplace. For his project, Cyrus Kiani researched the new Library of Congress website called chronoclingAmerica. loc.gov. On this site you will find complete issues of many of American’s newspapers dating back into the 1800s; exciting news for historians who like to pour through old newspapers looking for old tidbits. Kiani transformed his research into both data visualization and art by flashing on a screen, the front page of each issue of The Hawaiian Star from 1883 to 1912.
As the pages flashed you could clearly see the trends in layout, design and typography at the paper over time. Kiani hypothesized that many of the changes were due to readers having much less time to read. “As our computers get better and faster and our technology improves, we are better able to visualize more data from media. This is called the ‘Second Industrial Revolution,” Kiani said. Cassandra White took the postmodern notion that we should pay more attention and give greater voice to the marginalized. She weaved the notion in with her interest in the writings of

Flannery O’Connor to create a project called “Displaced People.” White shined a light from above down on a hanging wall sculpture made of cut paper to create an artistic image of a marginalized person, such as a farm worker, composed entirely of shadows. “As I was working with the cut paper and the light, I found images. I kept witling these images down until I found an organic image of a person,” White said. Tera Miller took the artwork from the cover of every single issue of Vogue magazine from 1902 to 2011, then shrunk them down and laid them out side by side to reveal patterns in the cover design. The earliest issues were quite different from later ones because Vogue started as a clothing pattern-making publication and only later morphed into a fashion magazine. Miller also was able to create art works out of overlaid composites of the cover images, and from the three dimensional mapping of different cover features (like color and hue) and from colorful scatter plots of covers based on things like density of imagery. The computer technology Miller used would allow one to take aspects from Cezanne’s paintings and
Cassandra White with her art project composed of shadows, titled ‘Displaced Persons.’ blend them with others from Van Gogh to create a new composite art form. “My work revealed historic patterns and trends, such as when women’s liberation began to affect Vogue. The technology I used offers the potential to create new art out of old art,” Miller said. Other presentations came from Ray Au Yeung and Aldrin Rayopay, who wrote and self produced their own musical CDs; Jessica Wu, who created an online-forpay videogame called “Child’s Play;” Michelle Lin,
who created a series of newsreel specials about developments in video games; Henley Wen and Jay Chow, who used computer technology to analyze the enormously popular DeviantArt website; Shawn Cornell, who shot a video of a band playing at the Casbah Night Club; Jeremy De Haviland, who created a videogame for learning to play blues guitar; Timothy Stein who took a whimsical look at data security; and Sam Dosher, who gave a live DJ performance.

Summer Solstice Soiree celebrates the new season
T
he San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla celebrated the start of summer on June 20 with what they called a “deconstructed dinner party” on the oceanfront terrace. There were tasty tidbits from Roppongi, La Valencia, and Festivities Catering, beer and mac ‘n’ cheese from Stone World Bistro & Brewery, sweet things from French Gourmet and Sprinkles, plus a Bacardi Mojito bar pouring specialty summerberry cocktails. And of course there was art, created for the evening — an installation by Brian Dick and Wendell Kling. The 100-plus attendees were members and friends of Avant Garde, the museum’s newest networking group of social, philanthropic and art-minded young professionals, who clearly enjoyed the setting, the weather, and the event. — Lonnie Burstein Hewitt

Athenaeum Executive Director Erika Torri and artist Robert Kushner in front of his exhibit, ‘Robert Kushner’s Scriptorium: Devout Exercises of the Heart.’ Maurice Hewitt
Athenaeum greets summer with garden of 1,000 flowers By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Artist Robert Kushner, whose influences include the tribal embroidery of Uzbekistan, Japanese calligraphy, and the paintings of Georgia O’Keefe, is a major proponent of decorative art. In his current installation, “Scriptorium,” which opened at the Athenaeum June 22, he does what we as children were always warned against doing: he draws on the pages of books. On display are 1,000 pages he has decorated with drawings of plants and flowers, in various colors and styles. Actually, the pages were taken from discarded and damaged books, antiques dating from 1500 to 1920. By embellishing them with his flora, Kushner feels he is giving them a chance to live again. “I would like to think that these superimposed flowers bring the pages back to life, make us wonder who owned and read these books, and allow us to ponder their varied histories,” he said. Kushner, who has lived in New York for decades, grew up in Arcadia, California, and went to UCSD. Attracted to biology as well as art, he pursued both interests for two years before deciding that while he might be a good biologist, he really wanted to be a good artist. “It was the best decision I ever made,” he said. “The art department was fantastic. They taught me how to think! I was in the first graduating class at Muir College, everything was new and unformed, and we were free to create all the templates. And we did!” In 1972, a year after graduation, he headed for New York, and began making a name for himself with nakedly whimsical performance pieces like “Robert Kushner & Friends Eat Their Clothes.” Though that may seem a far cry from his

It’s an impressive assemblage of small delights. Kushner is also a master of large-scale works,

FROM ART, B18 whose murals can be seen at international hotels and airports and whose monumental mosaics enliven a subway station in Manhattan’s upper-eastside. But it was his more modest flora that brought him to the Athenaeum. “I met (Athenaeum director) Erika Torri in April 2011, when I had an exhibition in Santa Monica that was somewhat related to this one,” Kushner said. “I sent her some pictures of ‘Scriptorium’ and she invited me to bring the show here. It’s been fascinating being back in the area again after so many years. I hardly recognize UCSD, but La Jolla is surprisingly unchanged.” The Athenaeum, with its focus on art, books, and music, seems the perfect place for “Scriptorium,” which includes many drawings on sheets of music. “This is such a happy and exhilarating show,” said Torri. “People love spending time in the room with it!”

writing’) refers to a room in medieval monasteries where scribes copied manuscripts. Whether there was an actual room, or the scribes worked away in their own little cells, the scriptorium was a necessary adjunct to a library.
Each summer pianist Gustavo Romero chooses composers to study in depth, sharing the full range of their artistry at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library’s Summer Festival. This year’s 14th annual event, July 8-29, will include a four-part series, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Claude Debussy, and Gustavo celebrating George Romero Gershwin. Romero, a native San Diegan, first performed at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library as a young boy, and it was with him that the Athenaeum planned its first Summer Festival in 1999, the organization’s 100th anniversary. Dinners are offered after each concert in private homes or at the Athenaeum. Concerts begin at 4 p.m. at The Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Drive. Tickets are priced for just the concerts, the series or the series with dinners at ljathenaeum.org/musicfest For the program notes and other news, call (858) 454-5872 or visit ljathenaeum.org

Navigate the rows of the mighty maize with this primer
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman

hat better way to salute America on the Fourth of July than to rejoice with one of the staple crops of the fledgling nation — corn. Corn of Plenty Squanto was the Native American savior of the New England colonists. He taught them to use the Iroquois’ “Three Sisters” method of planting. A pioneer of sustainable farming, Squanto believed the trio of corn (then called maize), beans, and squash were precious gifts from the Great Spirit, each sister an equal farming partner for fertilizing the soil and helping the others thrive. The maize crop was the “tall sister,” the one who had been specially cultivated to grow enough food to sustain a family for an entire year without harming the environment. Stalk Options A bumper crop of locally grown juicy sweet corncobs
overflows at farmers markets in time for July 4th feasts. Popular varieties include the white-pearly Silver Queen, yellow-kernelled Golden Bantam, and the bi-color checkerboard-patterned Ambrosia Hybrid. Super Sweet and sugary-enhanced hybrid varieties have been developed with higher than normal levels of sugar (12-20 percent), the latter divinely creamy and tender with a true oldfashioned corn flavor. Dent corn characterized by an indentation in each kernel is used for animal feed and industrial needs, while hard-shelled Flint corn, aka Indian Corn, which comes in designer shades of indigo blue and rusty red, is used to make popcorn, cornmeal or for ornamental purposes.
corn also tends to cause mild inflammation because of blood sugar spikes. Standing advice: moderation.
Cream of Corn Corn is a multi-tasking, gluten-free grain masquerading as a veggie. Although high in carbohydrates, corn is low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, and is an antioxidant warrior with a motherload of dietary fiber, thiamin and folate. Although most of corn’s calories come from carbs, it can be made into a low-fat, high-fiber, heart-healthy snack like popcorn, minus the salt and butter, of course. Two corn warnings: It must be cooked (our guts can’t break down the hearty cellulose in raw kernels) and
Cornucopia n 400,000 farms from the Corn Belt to California produce nearly 10 billion bushels a year to make corn America’s top field crop; n Each ear is packed with 800 kernels in 16 rows; n Corn is an ingredient in more than 3,000 supermarket products, including distilled spirits, sweeteners, starches and soaps; n The world corn-eating record: 33.5 ears in 12 minutes.
Lost in a Maize There has been a lot of controversy about Bt corn, short for the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, which has been used to genetically modify corn’s DNA to impart an internal insecticide mechanism that repels corn-loving pests. Corn has also been hit with another toxin called Roundup, so that it can withstand weed herbicides without succumbing itself. Since conventional corn has been clobbered with this double chemical whammy, best to buy unadulterated organic over Frankenstein corn.
