By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) is moving forward at full steam: It hired a new, fulltime executive director and is entering into a tentative lease agreement for a larger office space that also will house a Visitor Center. Following a closed session discussion at the end of its Aug. 8 meeting, LJVMA board members announced that Sheila Fortune, the former owner of Aquamoree restaurant and a past LJVMA board secretary, will lead the organization as its executive director at an annual salary of $85,000. Fortune stepped in as the interim Sheila Fortune executive director in May, after the previous executive director, Rosemary Murrieta, stepped down from the position via mutual agreement. Fortune was part of the volunteer team that helped form the new management organization for the La Jolla Business Improvement District in early 2011. She resigned from the LJVMA board when she closed her

Bishop’s School to dedicate new library on Aug. 22 La Jolla High football team readies for new season, A21
The Bishop’s School leads the local march back to school, B1
BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS and PAT SHERMAN A new $10 million, tri-level stateof-the-art library — complete with an ocean view — will welcome The Bishop’s School’s 800 students back from summer vacation when they pass through its mahogany doors for the first time on Wednesday, Aug. 22. A dedication ceremony for the Manchester Library & Learning Center is set for 1:45 p.m. that day on the campus’ Larmour Lawn and Plaza. It is the latest addition to the 103-year-old college preparatory school in La Jolla, which is affiliated with the Episcopal Church and serves students in grades 6-12. “People are saying the new building looks like it’s been here all along. It closes our quad,” said John Trifiletti, assistant head of school. The Manchester Library & Learning Center, at 22,000 square-feet, is nearly triple the size of the Richard B. Huntington Library that formerly served the students. Its architectural

said the new library provides the school with the opportunity to upgrade technology seamlessly. “The new building is state-of-the-art. What that means to the campus is students will now have enormous access to digital media,” Roche said, adding that the outdoor plaza will have a wireless Internet connection. C.W. Driver Construction began work on the Manchester Library & Learning Center 13 months ago on the parcel of land next to the Wheeler J. Bailey Building that was built in 1934 and designed by Irving Gill. The Manchester Library & Learning Center was designed by architects Delawie Wilkes Rodrigues Barker of San Diego, and its Mission-style incorporates Gill’s signature arches. The atrium-like design provides a view of its large arched windows and red oak ceiling from any level. Three large chandeliers (which can be

Post office task force asks merchants to complete economic impact survey, and residents to attend letter-writing ‘party’ By Pat Sherman In its latest effort to save the Wall Street post office, members of the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force are asking merchants to complete an online survey highlighting the economic benefits of keeping the post office in the building it has occupied since 1933. Additionally, the task force will host a “Handwritten Letter Day” event, 9:30-10:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 17 at the post office, 1140 Wall St., where community members Congressman may craft handwritten letters urging Congressman Darrell Darrell Issa Issa (R-49th) to sign the pending Community Post Office Relocation Act. A sample letter, paper, envelopes and stamps will be provided. “We really feel that the post office in its current location is really important to the merchants,” task force member Athina Singer said. “Some people won’t be able to answer everything on the survey, but anything will be a help.” Last month, Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-53rd) and Reps. Brian Bilbray (R-50th)
and Bob Filner (D-51st) introduced The Community Post Office Relocation Act, a bill that would allow La Jolla (and other communities) the first option to purchase their post office, should the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) follow through with its plan to sell the building and relocate services elsewhere in The Village. The legislation would allow a community nonprofit, such as the La Jolla Historical Society, the initial opportunity to purchase its community post office at fair market value, and lease all or part of the space back to USPS. The task force hopes to get Congressman Issa to sign onto the legislation, Singer said. “His whole basis is economics. … He doesn’t care about the history … or anything other than the economy,” she said. Issa, whose committee oversees the postal service, authored his own, cost-cutting Postal Reform Act, which many view as a substantial threat to postal unions and the future of USPS. The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service has said it is losing $25 million a day. A economic survey for the community to complete will be forthcoming, Singer said.

From Merchants, A1 business at the end of 2011. “I know with my passion for The Village, coupled with my previous professional expertise, this is going to be a great challenge,” Fortune said. “I can’t wait to start making things happen again for our merchants and the community.” The association also announced that it is close to signing a lease on a building in The Village that will house both LJVMA’s administrative offices and the La Jolla Visitor Information Center, the latter of which currently occupies a pintsize frontage space near the corner of Herschel Avenue and Prospect Street. “We don’t have a contract or a lease, but we have an emailed agreement with the property owner for a 2,500-square foot, storefront property,” LJVMA board president Phil Coller said. “I don’t think we could find anywhere that would fit the bill better.” The combined space will offer the LJVMA and the Visitor Center greater visibility and the opportunity to sell merchandise, as well as tickets to local attractions and events. The space will
be home to four paid, parttime staff from the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau (ConVis), and as well as the merchants association’s executive director. Coller said there are “sufficient monies and income stream from taking over the visitor center management” that would cover the rent. “We expect a substantial increase in revenues from this new (venture),” he said. The new space would open sometime in December or January.
The merchants association is asking the city to start trimming trees in The Village again. Palm fronds can weight as much as 30 pounds and frequently fall off and dent cars. PAT SHERMAN
Other merchants news n Tree trimming: In response to concerns from the LJVMA about safety issues surrounding untrimmed trees in The Village, Coller said the San Diego City Attorney’s office is drafting an opinion on the city’s liability relating to trees in the public right-of-way. Due to budget constraints, the city ceased trimming the trees about seven years ago. During the past few years, trees have toppled in The Village, crushing cars and nearly hitting pedestrians. Palm fronds alone can weigh as much as 30 pounds, and frequently dent
vehicles when they fall. “It’s not an act of God when you know these things are going to happen,” Coller said. The city says a full restoration of tree trimming services, including palm and shade trees, would cost $2.4 million. Erin Demorest, a representative with the office of Dist. 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, said the city still trims trees in the public right-of-way that are blocking city signage or pose an imminent threat to public safety. Notices of specific problem trees should be e-

come center” for the event, Coller said. “We think this has a lot of advantages for the businesses of La Jolla, and the PGA are very willing and happy to work with us to pull it off,” he said. LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune said the PGA expects between 130,000 and 150,000 attendees. The merchants association also hopes to hold Haute La Jolla Nights-style events each night of the tournament, including pub-crawls, scavenger hunts and other events. “This could be really, really big for The Village,” Fortune said. “It’s up to us to step up and make it happen.”
n Golf tourney opportunities: LJVMA trustees discussed ways to maximize business in The Village during the Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament, July 24-27 at Torrey Pines Golf Course. The annual tourney is part of the PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association of America) tour. Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods are both confirmed to play. LJVMA hopes to get people to park in The Village, shuttling back and forth to the event. “They’d come to La Jolla first; It becomes their access point to the event,” Coller said. At the end of each day’s play, players and spectators would return to The Village between 4 and 5 p.m., with plenty of time to visit local restaurants and merchants.

city to manage the PROW within the business improvement district. There is an initial fee of $500 for placing tables and chairs in the PROW and $250 for flowerpots, urns or other decorative items. Annual fees thereafter are $250 and $100, respectively. The money goes toward liability insurance for the PROW, which is provided to merchants through the LJVMA. Coller said that of the roughly 100 businesses that should have a PROW permit, only four currently have one. Businesses not complying with the permit regulations will likely be fined by the city “progressively” within the coming year, he said. n Haute La Jolla Nights: For the next Haute La Jolla Nights, scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, the LJVMA is encouraging merchants to participate in sidewalk sales to entice visitors by bringing their sales, promotions and giveaways onto the sidewalk in front of their shops. In July, the LJVMA board voted to spend an additional $5,310 for September’s event, after using the $9,000 initially budgeted for the first two events for directional signage, generators and advertising. n Belvedere allocation: After a presentation by Jim Alcorn, architect for the Belvedere Promenade project, proposed to enliven and open up a portion of Prospect Street to pedestrians, the board voted to allocate $4,750 for an updated land survey of the project area. n Visitor maps: The association is working to produce free tourist maps of The Village that would be handed out at the new Visitor Center/LJVMA offices, as well as restaurants and shops throughout La Jolla, board trustee Robert Lane announced. n Flower baskets: Hanging flower baskets within The Village, currently maintained by the LJVMA for an estimated $25,000 annually, will not be maintained after August, as the program has been deemed too costly to continue. The association said it would likely remove the baskets or ask merchants to maintain the baskets adjacent their spaces.

WORKING WITH GRAVITY
Any sustained activity that works against the force of gravity is essential for maintaining bone mineral density. When bones are subjected to this strain against gravity, specialized bone cells called osteoblasts respond by building more bone. The more load or “weight-bearing” that is placed on the bone, the greater the bone building benefit. Therefore, high-impact or resistance workouts are the best and include running, jumping rope, aerobic dance, basketball, tennis, baseball, skiing, skating, stair climbing, hiking, and weight lifting. Walking, lowimpact aerobics, and most cardio machines are good but not as effective. Because many people can begin to experience bone loss as early as their twenties, it’s important to focus at least part of any exercise program towards the development and preservation of bone strength. If you are new to exercising or have a pre-existing condition, a physical therapist can help you to prevent injury. Ability Rehab’s professional therapists specialize in training and rehab for a wide variety of sports and leisure activities. We will work with you to develop a plan that involves weight-bearing exercises you will enjoy.

From Library, A1 lowered with the push of a button for cleaning) help spread the light. Cushioned armchairs, ottomans, and desks and tables in the Mission-style are sprinkled throughout the first floor, which Trifiletti said is designed to have a casual atmosphere where students can put their feet up while reading. Roche said the library has small, collaborative work spaces as opposed to traditional, individual study carrels. “It will function more like a community center for us,” she said. An elevator ride is an option for reaching the balcony on the top level, which offers students outdoor seating and an ocean view. “The building was on-time and onbudget,” Trifiletti said. “The realities of building something like this are of funding, and it’s all paid for.” The Manchester Library & Learning Center was named for Doug and Betsy Manchester, who Trifiletti said gave the “lead gift” for the facility. He said there were also 35 other “significant donors,” and a list of all the major benefactors will be presented on a wall inside the cedar portico. Assistant librarian Alisa Brandt said within the last few weeks staff moved some 27,000 books from the old library into the new building. “We’re buying more books all the time. We’re driven by the curriculum, so if a teacher needs something, we just get it. There have been donations that have come in over the summer, too,” she said. Gifts contributed to the library will be acknowledged at the dedication. Among them is the collection of the late, former faculty member, Dr. Otto Mower, who bequethed the school all of his books. Dr. Mower was an art historian and linguist who died last year at
The newly paved Larmour Lawn and Plaza, adjacent the library, is dedicated to Rosamond Loomis, who was headmistress of The Bishop’s School from 1953-1962.

Stephany Erlbeck, parent of two students at the school, popped in for the first time on Aug. 8 to peek around. She said her kids are very excited about seeing it, too. “I think they’ve done an amazing job on the whole design of it. It’s incredible,” Erlbeck said. “The library before was so small. This one matches the caliber of the school.” The library is now so large that an additional 1,200 square feet of undesignated space will be used as needed for future growth, Trifiletti said. The first floor houses fiction material and the third floor is home to the fine arts collection and the learning center. The main floor is stacked with reference books and the entire Huntington collection.
Each level has two soundproof group study rooms in its “wings,” equipped with state-of-the-art technology, such as a 50-inch monitor on the wall for team projects. Trifiletti said he believes the study rooms are going to be one of the signature features of the building. Learning Center Director Ken Chep coordinates accommodations for students who need help with test preparation and study strategies, as well as those with special needs, such as attention deficit disorder. He said he’s excited that the new library classrooms will serve those students. “We’ll just come up here,” he said looking around the elegant library classroom. “I try to keep it pretty low key so students feel comfortable getting the assistance they need.”

Doctor opens laser clinic on Girard Avenue New Business Report BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS eter Mann, M.D., and his wife Jacklynn, opened The Secret, a skin and vein laser clinic at 7634 Girard Ave., to be “the only doctor’s clinic among the shops, restaurants, boutiques and medical spas in the Village.” They plan a grand opening for 5:30-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30. Mann, a vascular surgeon, said he has specialized in varicose vein laser and skin laser treatment since 2000. He previously operated a surgical clinic in Kearney Mesa. Mann said his services differ from those offered at medical spas because The Secret is actually a clinic with an operating room and recovery room, and he performs many procedures using I.V. sedation. He said medical spas offer injections for vein disorders, but he treats the cause as well as the symptom. For large varicose veins, for example, treatment begins with a consultation, followed by an ultrasound to determine where the reflux is within the vein. During treatment, he will insert a catheter to burn the vein, and after those steps are completed, he begins the injection of a solution directly into the veins, which cause the sides of the vessel to contract and the veins to disappear. “We do the whole gamut — from laser treatments to laser therapy to sclerotherapy,
P
veinwave and phlebectomy,” he said. The Secret has a new laser machine, Fraxel Repair, a C02 skin resurfacer, which Jacklynn said was the “Rolls Royce” of Fraxel machines. Mann said it goes deeper than a laser and burns the tissue that causes deep wrinkles, and helps “baby skin” form. Besides wrinkles, the treatment also helps tighten skin, improve texture, tone, and correct brown spots, red spots and scars. The drawback is the one-week recovery period, during which time patients may experience bruising, redness and oozing, he said. “It is a very aggressive and painful procedure, but it turns back the clock about 10 years,” Mann explained. He also performs ultherapy, a skin tightening and scar removal process with a machine that uses ultrasound and requires no cutting for minimal pain. Those results are instant, and skin continues to improve up to six months after the therapy. For more information, visit www.thesecretclinic.com

From Town Council, A7 Though the LJTC received its nonprofit designation by the IRS in June, Kerr Bache said the IRS hasn’t updated its database, so the council can’t apply for grants online yet. Though the LJTC received $2,100 from the Rotary Club of La Jolla’s Florence Riford Community Fund, it is substantially short fundraising for this year’s event. “We really need to raise money for the parade or come September … we’ll just have Ken King to make the decision that we can’t (produce) a parade this year,” Kerr Bache said. “It really requires the people on the town council to be more proactive than they ever have been in getting sponsorships.
All the infrastructure’s in place. The money that we need is not.” To donate to the parade fund, visit lajollatowncouncil.org/town-council/foundation n New members: Joining the town council this month is former San Diego City Schools Superintendent Tom Goodman. Cardiologist Dr. C. Michael Goodman of Scripps Memorial Hospital joined as a gold member. n Independent La Jolla meeting: Cindy Greatrex announced that Independent La Jolla, the group that supports La Jolla seceding from the City of San Diego and taking on its own governance, will hold a public meeting in early October, at a date and location to be announced.

Japanese-inspired leisurewear store debuts in La Jolla New Business Report BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Y-3 luxury apparel shop opened in The Village on Aug. 2 at 7852 Girard Ave. The merchandise adds Japanese-flair to Adidas-brand leisurewear, created by renowned fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto. Owner Daniela Jinich, of La Jolla, said the brand has been popular for about 10 years in Europe and Asia, and now stores are popping up in U.S. metros like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orange County and Chicago. It’s the first of its kind in San Diego. “I think it’s a brand that matches the lifestyle in La Jolla,” Jinich said. “It’s chic, high quality and very casual.” The store is currently previewing the Y-3 fall/winter 2012 collection. “It’s definitely a brand that has a following,” she added. “I see people coming in here naming the shoes by their retail name.” The classic sneakers have the three stripes the Adidas brand is known for and the shoes range from basic drivers to bold and sassy. Jinich, a former architect who used to remodel homes, described the items as having very clean lines with occasional asymmetrical pieces. A mother to a 6-year-old and 3-yearold twins, Jinich said when the twins were age 2, the opportunity for the business “fell on my lap.” Melissa Henson, employee, knows the Y-3 line well and said when she was a sales asso-

ciate at Neiman Marcus she fell in love with it. “It’s Japanese-inspired to the bone,” she said. One of her favorite pieces is a simple white oversized T-shirt that has kimono-type cut at the bottom. “I’d wear it with leggings and those shoes,” she said, pointing to the “Sukita” shoe that looks similar to an ankle boot, but has a hidden wedge inside.

Right: The Y-3 “Sukita” shoe has a hidden wedge inside and is one of the store’s best-selling items at nearly $500 a pair.

Forecast calls for more hot Julys, rises in sea level Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
A
t the end of a July that broke heat records across the country, a new report released by two California State agencies project that summer months of extreme heat will be the norm by 2060. “Our Changing Climate 2012, Vulnerability and Adaptation to the Increasing Risks from Climate Change in California” is the latest in an ongoing series of assessments commissioned by the California Energy Commission and the California Natural Resources Agency to help plan for the state’s climate future. Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego researchers led four of the studies included in the report. Among the findings: Rising July temperatures by 2060 will outpace what we now consider to be exceptional, recording heat records. Scenarios that sea level along the California coast will reach levels three to four feet higher than those recorded in 2000. Also, the conclusion that, if the most extreme global sea level estimates are realized, by the end of the 21st century coastal managers can anticipate annual
coastal flooding events of much greater magnitude than those experienced during the 1982-83 El Niño. This last finding has tremendous implications for the state’s infrastructure of roads, railroads, and power generation and transmission systems located in coastal zones. Researchers concluded that current management policy, which relies heavily on long-term historical norms, will likely be insufficient to cope with the increasing variability brought about by climate change, but forecast-informed management would offer better results. — More information at http://bit.ly/O9UHHT Protection against broad range of flu A team led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute and Crucell Vaccine Institute (in the Netherlands) describes three human antibodies that provide broad protection against Influenza B virus strains. The same team had previously reported finding broadly neutralizing antibodies against Influenza A strains. Isolation of the new antibodies will help efforts to develop a universal antibodybased flu therapy for use in severe infections or to protect hospital staff during an outbreak. These antibodies may also provide key clues to the design one day of an active universal flu vaccine — designed for long-term protection against flu viruses, not just against the current season’s strains. — The findings appear online in Science Express.

Spotlight on Local Businesses Literary event comes to La Jolla Sept. 21-23 will bring the debut of the La Jolla Literary Festival, a 17-speaker event that includes luminaries such as keynote speaker Mitch Albom, whose memoir, “Tuesday’s with Morrie,” is the best-selling memoir of all time; acclaimed thriller writer Ridley Pearson; and “Flags of Our Fathers” author James Bradley. The authors’ subjects are broad ranging and include presentations on art, international affairs, adventure travel, economics, as well as memoirs and works of fiction. The speakers in the lineup are timely, such as Antonio J. MenCamden dez, the former CIA operative reHubbard sponsible for rescuing six American diplomats from Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis. The chapter of Mendez’s book, “The Master of Disguise,” details the rescue, and has been turned into a movie. The film, titled “Argo,” stars Ben Affleck and is due for October release. Passes to the three-day event at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla, include access to all panels, several meals, and discounted parking. Additionally, Warwick’s will set up an on-site store to facilitate book signings. A pass costs $550, with a $50 discount to those who purchase before Aug. 21. Group discounts are also available. The event is modeled on the Sun Valley Writers Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, where tickets are $890 each and sold out this year.

The founder of the La Jolla Literary Festival, Camden Hubbard, is a former senate press secretary who grew up spending summers in Mission Bay. “This area, and my family friends here, are dear to me,” she said. “Their qualities influenced the planning of this event. As a result, the La Jolla Literary Festival is as social, fun, and intellectual, as they are.” Influential members of the San Diego community and industry authorities within New York and London publishing circles were pulled together to create the festival. According to its website, www.jollalit.com, the team promises that the featured work is “meant to move its respective genre forward and leave audience members fully engaged and feeling that they are a part of that movement.” “Speakers were selected for their dynamic speaking ability, not just for their expert writing,” said Hubbard. “Experienced storytellers can connect with people in a room the way a talented musician can, leaving you glad you did not just view the event on television, and remind you how outstanding it is to actually be there.” La Jolla Literary Festival board member, John Farrell, added, “We offer presentations you cannot find anywhere else. One panel, for instance, includes a New York Times journalist who covered the War in Iraq, the owner of the largest democratic paper in Pakistan, and a professor of religion. That is a fascinating, and necessary conversation.”

Spotlight on Local Businesses The Broken Yolk: Eggs any way you want ‘em By Marti Gacioch Eggs scrambled and poached, and omelets galore, pancakes and waffles, fresh juice and more; the Broken Yolk has served San Diegans breakfast in dozens of ways for some 32 years. With a menu of 20 different omelets, there is something to please every taste bud. Omelet favorites include the vegetarian “Mom Omelet” (avocado mushroom, bell peppers, onions and alfalfa sprouts) and the “No-Name Omelet” (bacon, avocado, tomatoes and mushrooms). “We have pretty much any kind of eggs you can imagine,” said assistant manager Dimitra O’Rourke. “We have
Eggs Benedict, and different Mexican dishes as well, like Huevos Rancheros, along with California breakfast burritos and basic eggs dishes, like scrambled and over easy.” Other breakfast favorites include waffles, French toast and pancakes. “We added three new crepes as well this year,” O’Rourke said. “We have strawberry and blueberry; and our latest, Nutella Banana, is pretty popular right now.” Fresh-squeezed juices — orange, grapefruit, apple, lemonade and pomegranate — are another draw at the restaurant. The extensive lunch menu features a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wraps, Panini, tacos, salads and soups, and there
is a full children’s menu. The coffee bar serves cappuccinos, espressos and lattes. “We bake all of our biscuits and muffins fresh, in-house every day, and we focus on the quality of the food in ample portions,” O’Rourke said. The Pacific Beach restaurant, 1851 Garnet Ave., has 40 full- and part-time employees. The Broken Yolk has seven locations and will open new restaurants in Temecula at 26495 Ynez Road and in Carmel Mountain Ranch at 11630 Carmel Mountain Road in September. — The Broken Yolk is open 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. (858) 270-9655. thebrokenyolkcafe.com
At UC San Diego, students from the Department of Theatre and Dance create their own productions, pursue new ideas, and interact with world-class faculty. Alumni from this award-winning program are influencing the advancement of dance, film, television and productions on and off Broadway.

L
ike most people who live in the beautiful city of La Jolla, I love the beach. But when I was walking home from La Jolla Shores Beach last week, I noticed how people abandon their toys in the sand and leave their plastic bottles just lying there to wash out into the beautiful blue sea. I realize if people keep this up, our beaches might not be so enjoyable anymore. The first thing I don’t get is why people don’t just throw away their trash in the trashcans? It’s not like the beach has a shortage of them; you can’t even go 10 feet without seeing a trashcan. The only thing that will happen if you throw your trash on the sand is that it will go
out to sea and an animal will eat it or it will become part of the floating Great Pacific Garbage Patch. If a marine animal does eat your piece of garbage, it will die. Some animals don’t have the greatest of eyesight, so to them, plastic bags look like jellyfish, packing peanuts look like fish eggs, and sometimes a fishhook with bait can look like a small fish. Your laziness might be taking away an animal’s life. And even if an animal doesn’t eat your garbage, it will go into the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is two times the size of Texas right now and still growing. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is located in the central north Pacific Ocean. When you drop a piece of trash on the ground, later that night, the tide comes up and washes it out to sea, and then the current pulls it out to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. There is a way to help. You can join a beach cleanup. You can start one yourself or you can join an existing one. It is a way for you and your friends to have fun and help the environment, too.
To order a whale tail plate, go to ecoplates.com (It’s $50 over the usual registration fee, $40 annual renewal fee; if you personalize one, it’s $98 the first year, $78 renewal fee. After the costs of producing the plates are met, half of the funds go to coastal education, protection and restoration programs. The rest goes to the California Environmental License Plate Fund for environmental programs throughout the state.) The San Diego Coastkeeper and the San Diego Chapter of the Surf Rider Foundation created a monthly beach cleanup schedule. For more information about it, go to sdcoastkeeper.org/quick-links/ events/cat/cat_id Additionally, you can also help by buying a California license plate
with a whale tail on it. Some of the money from these special plates goes to helping clean up the ocean and beaches. The next time you see a piece of trash lying on the beach, please pick it up, and we’ll make the ocean cleaner one piece of trash at a time.
We’re keeping teachers in the classroom for our kids Guest commentary II John Lee Evans, Ph.D. President, San Diego Unified Board of Education
I
was very proud this summer to announce an historic deal that cancelled the layoff of nearly 1,500 teachers. We owe a debt of gratitude to our teachers for agreeing to concessions to keep our teachers in the classroom for our kids. Our schools in La Jolla will begin the school year with the same class sizes and a full curriculum, including music and art. We will also have
Resident’s home rebuild story was inappropriate I hope the La Jolla Light will be fair enough to consider printing this letter in response to the story, “Residents give city a failing ‘grade’ in Archer Street rebuild,” in the Aug. 2 edition. I know the De Soto family personally. When I told Emilio De Soto about this article, he said that such negativity is not worth his time and he would not bother responding. So I decided to write in. Pat Sherman’s story was one-sided and lacking in merit. Rather than wasting print on something as trite as this, you ought to consider interviewing Emilio for a story for your paper. He is a self-made success story and a long-time resident of La Jolla. A Cuban immigrant, Emilio came here with his parents (legally), put himself through college and graduate school here in San
the counselors and nurses we need to support our students. In the previous budget, we had made deep cuts into administration and transportation and other non-classroom expenses. We wanted to protect the steady academic progress that San Diego Unified has been making for the past few years. But now we had to start looking at the classroom. This year it became clear that Sacramento was not going to give us the basic funds we needed to operate our schools. The ballot measures in November would be too late to help for 20122013. We had to find a local solution and our

His company is responsible for employing a few hundred people in San Diego County, including me, and a few hundred others in other parts of the United States. All De Soto products are manufactured here in San Diego, not outsourced. Emilio and his wife and kids live a very healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise, and together they inspire a lot of people to do the same. They donate a lot of their money each year to a number of charities and nonprofits in the community.

Now teachers, parents, and district staff will unite to fight for our public schools being properly funded by the state. California currently ranks No. 47 in funding for our schools, a major shift from previous generations. I am committed to forming a coalition with other Board Presidents of the largest districts to advocate for our fair share of tax dollars from Sacramento. Education must be the top priority of our state. In the meantime we are set for a successful start of the school year with all of our teachers in place and ready to greet our students. When school starts, take a moment to thank a teacher for his/her service and sacrifice.

The story, however, was not about Emilio DeSoto and his family, but rather the frequently used exemption to the municipal code, which is being discussed at public meetings. That exemption has more far-reaching implications than in just the DeSoto property case.

County taxman offers tips, quips at council meeting Dan McAllister
By Pat Sherman San Diego County Treasurer/Tax Collector Dan McAllister was more than an hour late to his scheduled presentation during the Aug. 9 meeting of the La Jolla Town Council (due to an apparent misunderstanding with his scheduler). But that didn’t stop the La Jolla resident from jumping right in with pithy one-liners and an array of property tax information for those in attendance. “I was born across the street at the old Scripps (hospital),” McAllister said. “I go to church across the street at La Jolla Presbyterian. This is my home, and it’s embarrassing when friends introduce me as ‘the late Dan McAllister.’ ” McAllister acknowledged that he is not always the most popular person in town. “That’s why I sit in the back in church over here, so I can slink down and not be recognized for what I do during the week,”
he said, noting that his office sent 978,000 tax bills to property owners in San Diego County last September, a number that is down due to condominium projects downtown being converted to apartment rentals in the down economy. However, McAllister said the real estate market is showing signs of recovery, particularly in areas like Coronado, La Jolla and Solana Beach, the latter of which had the highest increase in property values last year. “Things may stay on the market a little longer, but they’re still selling,” he said. “Countywide there are a third of the number of listings on the books than there were a year ago at this time. The supply is dwindling; the demand is still high — and therefore it is driving costs and prices up again. “Certainly, the tax collector is happy when people sell for more than less.” McAllister said that four years ago 226,000 people applied for an appeal of their property tax assessments, of which tax officials granted 216,000. “With 21 percent of our tax base getting a discount, it meant a decrease of $50 million less the first year, and $48 million less the second year,” he said. Questioned about the reassessment of Mitt Romney’s beachfront La Jolla home, which the Los Angles Times reported had saved the presidential candidate $111,000 in taxes, McAllister said the savings was actually much lower. “I read (the story) three or four times to see what I was missing … but the body of the story suggests that he really saved about $20,000 or $25,000 in taxes, and he did

FROM RESEARCH REPORT, A14 Two-drug combination fights cocaine addiction A combination of two existing pharmaceutical drugs has shown promise as a potential new therapy for people addicted to cocaine — a therapy that would reduce their craving for the drug and blunt their symptoms of withdrawal. In laboratory experiments at The Scripps Research Institute, the potential therapy, which combines low doses of the two drugs, made laboratory rats less likely to take
cocaine compulsively. While the two-drug combination would have to prove safe and effective for people in clinical trials, the work represents a promising advance because there are currently no FDA-approved medications for treating cocaine addiction. — Findings appear in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

what everybody else has a legal right to do. Everybody, twice a year, has a legal right to appeal their assessed valuations.” The next deadline to appeal property tax assessments is Nov. 30. Applications can be filled out on the assessor’s website at arcc.co.san-diego.ca.us McAllister suggested that before applying for a reassessment, taxpayers get comparables from a “sympathetic real estate agent” and consult zillow.com “If you purchased property in the last five to six years there’s a good chance you’ll be entitled to a (tax) reduction,” he said. San Diego County ended last year with a 98 percent collection rate — one of the highest rates statewide, McAllister said. “Frankly, if everybody paid late we’d be happier because we’d make a lot more in late fees,” he said, noting that this isn’t happening because banks are ponying up, driving down delinquency rates. “The banks and the lenders that have taken back properties in foreclosure … don’t want a tax blemish on a property that they ultimately will turn around and sell, so they
race down to pay the taxes in a timely fashion.” Banks also won’t challenge the assessed value of a property they are going to sell, McAllister said, because “in all likelihood they will learn that it’s worth a lot less than they made a loan for, and they would have to disclose that to prospective buyers.” Property taxes can be paid online, using Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card. However, McAllister said, despite a decline in people using their credit cards to pay property taxes (about 3 percent), credit card companies charge an “onerous” convenience fee of 1.88 percent to use their cards. “They’re proposing to raise it to 2.5 percent or 3 percent,” he said. “If you think about it, 3 percent of $4.54 billion every year coming out of just one of 58 counties is a lot of excess revenue for Visa. “We counsel people that if they can get a card with points (or) rewards, that’s probably the best way to charge their property tax.”

Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert benefits Promises2Kids
C
reedence Clearwater Revisited (aka CCR) brought its brand of Southern rock stylings to the estate of Joan Waitt in La Jolla on Aug. 11, performing at a benefit gala for Promises2Kids. Since 1981, Promises2Kids has led the fight against child abuse and neglect in the County of San Diego. A bit of CCR trivia: John Fogerty, Doug Clifford and Stu Cook (all born in 1945) met at Portola Junior High School in El Cerrito, Calif., and began playing juke box standards together under the name The Blue Velvets. The trio also backed singer Tom Fogerty (John’s older brother by three years) at live gigs and in the recording studio. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and ranked at 82 on Rolling Stone’s 100 greatest artists of all time. The original group disbanded on Oct. 16, 1972.

Chargers suffer loss in win over Packers The San Diego Chargers may have defeated the Green Bay Packers in the team’s first preseason game a week ago, but the team suffered a loss as running back Ryan Mathews was lost for at least four-to-six week. The starting running back from Fresno State suffered a broken clavicle in the 21-13 win. “Obviously we are not going to have Ryan for a while, so we are working a lot of different guys,” head coach Norv Turner said. “And every guy we have back there brings a different strength to the table. The team will now look to Ronnie Brown, who is the most accomplished the running backs with nearly 5,000 yards in his career. “Right now the expectations are still the same and we’ve got to fill in and do our part,” Brown said after practice,” Brown said. “When they signed me, my expectations were to come in and help in any kind of role I could. And right now, it’s to come in and not miss a beat on offense. That’s their expectations and that’s my expectations and I’m looking forward to it.” The team also has Jackie Battle, Curtis Brinkley, Edwin Baker and Michael Hayes among the reserve running backs. Mathews’ return is expected to be in the first few weeks of the season.
Cowboys come to town Saturday night The San Diego Chargers will host their second straight home game this weekend as the Dallas Cowboys come to Qualcomm Staduim. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. If there is not a local blackout, the game will be broadcast on KFMB Channel 8. After the game, the Chargers will host the Cowboys for two days next Monday and Tuesday as the two teams will practice together.
Seniors will be key for La Jolla High football By Phil Dailey he La Jolla High School football team is coming off a 3-8 season, but for head coach Rey Hernandez, there is reason to be optimistic about the upcoming season. “We got a good group of seniors coming back, we got some good senior leadership,” the fourth-year head coach said. “We’re just gonna work and try to get better.” On paper, there is reason for the excitement as well. Leading the way for the Vikings this season is the return of All-Western League running back Kenny Martey. Martey led the team with 815 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns last season. “We expect Kenny to step up and have a good year,” Hernandez said. The team also expects Conor Irwin, who was injured a majority of last season, to give the Vikings added depth at running back. In total, the team should have 11 returning starters back on offense and defense. On the defensive side, the Vikings will be led by two seniors, linebacker William Geary and safety Dylan Walsh. “He’ll be the nucleus of that group,” Hernandez said of Geary. Hernandez will also have to replace Bobby Schuman, who was the team’s quarterback

Correction: A story in the Aug. 9 edition of the La Jolla Light reported that La Jollan Carrie Johnson placed fourth in the women’s K-1 500 meter kayak sprint race. Johnson, a La Jolla High School graduate, placed 17th. She was fourth in her heat. In Johnson’s second event, the 200 meter sprint, she failed to make the finals. With the Games now over, Johnson will now pursue her next profession as she is enrolled in UC Davis’ veterinarian program. n LJCD coach leaps to sixth place Jamie Nieto, who had helped coach La Jolla Country Day track last season, placed sixth in the high jump during the 2012 London Games. Kevin Reaume, who coached track and

The loss pushed the Americans to play for seventh place, a game they also lost, 10-9, to Australia. In 2008, the U.S. men took the silver medal. The 2012 effort was supposed to be one that would give the Americans a shot at their first gold since 1904. “Not a very good way to finish, for sure,” coach Terry Schroeder told the Associated Press after the loss to Australia.

La Jolla head coach Rey Hernandez instructs the defense during practice last week. Phil Dailey
From Vikings, A21 the last few seasons. David McColl will be the team’s starting quarterback this season, a senior who completed 6 of 11 passes last year in the backup role. Hernandez also expects major contributions from this senior-led team with center Tom Graham, wide receiver Billy Penny and defensive backs Jack Irwin and Dylan Walsh. “Our goals are to take it one step at a time, try to get better every game and improve, try to find guys to fill in the key positions,” Hernandez said. “We had a good summer and have a positive start to the season.” Hernandez thinks the varsity squad will have close to 40 on the roster.

section b David Steinberg looks back on life and laughter in one-man Playhouse show By David L. Coddon It’s no accident that the title of David Steinberg’s upcoming one-man show at La Jolla Playhouse specifies that the workshop production “Could Turn into Something Big … or Not.” The veteran stand-up comedian, actor writer and director is pragmatic. “I actually have no goal except I want to entertain an audience for an hour and 15 minutes the way I used to and see if it’s still working,” he said. “I would be happy if it ends up being a ‘Shatner,’ ” he quipped, likening the project to one of William Shatner’s many short but memorable cultural forays. “I have always been wrong about everything in my career. I’ve thought ‘This will be the big thing,’ and it turned out to be a flop, while others turned out to be a hit. I’m not promising myself or the audience anything other David Steinberg than an hour where they’ll be laughing for a good portion of it.” Steinberg, 70, has a stellar track record to support that. The Canadian-born performer cut his teeth with the notable Second City comedy troupe in Chicago in the ’60s, and later as a standup comic distinguished himself not only as a frequent guest of Johnny Carson on “The Tonight Show,” but a staple of the then-controversial “Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.” In addition to performing on Broadway and in films, he’s compiled a career as a much-demanded television director. Most recently in that regard, he’s been behind the camera of HBO’s acclaimed and irreverent sitcom, “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” which has been on for eight seasons. It’s all fodder for what will make up the one-man show, which opens on Aug. 16. “I always thought there was something here that is amusing and worthwhile,” said Steinberg, who’s being assisted by writer/producer Allen Zweibel (the Playhouse’s “700 Sundays” with Billy Crystal) in developing the one-man show. “Basically, this is about how I got from there to here. How does someone from Winnipeg ‘with not too much future,’ according to my teachers, end up with this kind of career? I talk about Carson and all my experiences with him, and getting the Smothers Brothers thrown off the air. I’ve been around everybody. “I’m not afraid of the past. I think it’s a healthy thing to get into it and try to communicate what it meant to me.” By design a workshop, this show will evolve from performance to performance. “I’ll always improvise,” said Steinberg, who recently began taping his second season of the Showtime interview series “Sit Down Comedy with David Steinberg.

SoCal has the blues, aquarium exhibit has their voices By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt he largest animal on earth is the blue whale, which can be 100 feet long and weigh 150 tons. According to John Hildebrand, head of the whale acoustic lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, one of the best places to see this endangered species is right here, between San Diego and Santa Barbara. “We’ve seen them just two miles from the end of Scripps Pier!” he said. The big blues, hunted close to extinction by 20th-century whalers, seem to be making a comeback along the SoCal coast, with about 2,500 drawn by plentiful supplies of krill, the tiny, shrimp-like plankton they consume by the millions every day. Blue whales are only one of the species featured in “Voices in the Sea,” an interactive exhibit that debuted at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach in 2003, developed in partnership with SIO.

FROM WHALES, B1 Now, in a newlyexpanded format, the award-winning exhibit allows visitors to listen to whale calls, watch rare footage of endangered cetaceans, and even get a chance to make whale calls themselves. It is on view at seven institutions around the country, including our own Birch Aquarium, whose earlier version of the exhibit was installed in 2008. “I’m very happy with the new website and socialmedia connections that will help build a community of interested people,” Hildebrand said. “Now when someone learns something new, we can all find out about it!” Hildebrand said his lab has been a kind of nursery for “Voices,” producing much of the content, with research associate Josh Jones doing most of the work on interviews and videos. Hildebrand himself is featured in one of the blue whale mini-videos. Over a decade ago, he was sought out by Pacific Life, an Orange County insurance company whose symbol is the humpback

A handful of krill; some of the tiniest animals in the sea are food for supersized blue whales. Maurice Hewitt whale. The company had taken an interest in whale conservation and research, and asked Hildebrand to help identify fund-worthy topics and species. It has been a productive arrangement: Pacific Life Foundation funded research by Hildebrand’s lab and is the underwriter of “Voices.” At the Aquarium of the Pacific, Southern California’s largest aquarium, the threekiosk exhibit overlooks a life-size model of a blue whale. Even better, a high-
speed catamaran docked close by goes out twice daily on whale-watching cruises with an aquarium expert on board. On a recent trip, we saw five blue whales, two of which circled the boat several times, checking us out from less than 20 feet away. It was a mom teaching her supersized baby to dive; they’d stay down eight minutes at a time, then return, again and again. For all of us onboard, including the captain, this was pretty exciting. Gray-looking from
above, they really do look blue underwater, and though we didn’t see their tongues, we were told each weighed as much as an African elephant. We didn’t hear them calling either, though they have the loudest, deepest voices in the sea. They have to: with their vast range, they need long-distance communication — say, from here to Hawaii. “People travel thousands of miles away to go to wild places, but it’s wild right here with some of the highest diversity of marine life in the world,” said AOP education director Dave Bader, pointing out a septet of molas, aka sunfish, just below the water’s surface. These flattened-out pufferfish relatives can grow to huge sizes, though the ones we saw were fairly petite. Still, they were the first I’d ever seen in the wild. For a great family daytrip, combine a visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific with a 3½- hour Sea Life Cruise. You’re almost certain to see whales in the ocean, and there’s plenty to do at the aquarium, with 11,000 other animals on view.

Dine ‘atop La Jolla’ in La Valencia’s view-studded Sky Room By Kelley Carlson ith The Sky Room’s expansive ocean views and intimate, romantic atmosphere, guests may get the feeling that they are on Cloud Nine. Located on the 10th floor of the La Valencia Hotel, the restaurant is often the site of special occasions — anniversaries and engagements — and destination dining. And The Sky Room recently had its own reason to celebrate: after being closed for nine months due to elevator renovations, it reopened July 13. At that time, the establishment debuted a menu consisting of California-American cuisine combined with European technique from Chef Luke Johnson, formerly of Red Velvet Wine Bar. Guests relinquish control when ordering from Johnson’s tasting menu, which features anywhere from five to eight courses that “may expand or contract on a whim,” said Andrew Mosblech, director of food and beverage at La Valencia Hotel. Mosblech described the dishes as “clean, precise and modern,” but rooted in a simple approach and sensibility. He pointed out that it’s not food typically seen in San Diego, but is more likely to be found in culinary capitals such as San Francisco, New York and Chicago. The ingredients are complex, yet simple,

■ L a Valencia’s Tomato, Basil, Beans Manchego and come in multiple textures and variations. Guests will always know what is in their dish (for example, the lamb entree incorporates zucchini, mushrooms and garlic) but each of those ingredients may be prepared in different ways, creating unique combinations. “It’s a surprise of sorts,” Johnson explained. The summer-tasting menu includes raw scallop with watermelon, radish and cucumber; chilled tomato soup with heirloom beans, basil and manchego; and pork belly ravioli with corn and blueberry. Dishes are sized in small portions to allow for the complete tasting experience. Items can be ordered a la carte, but Mosblech
noted it takes about four courses on average to make a satisfying meal. The cost of the entire menu is $95, with an optional wine pairing available for an additional $55. Along with the food, part of The Sky Room experience is enjoying “unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean and La Jolla Cove,” Mosblech said. In the early evening hours, “we’re all about the light and the sea,” he said, as the lowering sun’s rays touch the 35-seat dining room, which is accented with florals and nautilus shells. During sunset, guests often step outside onto a small walkway and snap photographs of the golden-orange glow over the water. At night, the restaurant becomes soft, calm and intimate, with the surrounding mirrors and glass reflecting the candles and recessed lighting. Mosblech said reservations are highly recommended. Some patrons visit the restaurant for an after-dinner drink, since there are a variety of selections from the full bar, but Mosblech suggests making time for refined dining. “Enjoy happy hour (downstairs), then come up here and have the dinner of your life,” he said.
www.lajollalight.com FROM STEINBERG, B1 “It’s in me to do that. I’ll play around with the order, I’ll play around with the stories. I’ll just feel it out,” Steinberg said. The setting and the format appeal to him, too. “The advantage of a workshop is it’s a theater audience that isn’t drunk and taking my picture with their phones while I’m talking. And they know it’s a work in progress. Don’t expect a finished product.” Expect a funny product, though. Steinberg, a man ever honing his craft, knows that the laughs will come when they’re earned. “The interesting thing about a one-man show,” he said, “is that you can write it and read it, and it’ll sound great, but you have to put it in front of an audience to find out if works. They will tell me if this part is funny or that part is funny. “I’m used to developing my craft in front of an audience. It’s an immediate callback to my Second City years.” To catch up with Steinberg’s busy life, visit thedavidsteinberg.com

In a skillet, on medium, melt butter or heat oil. Assemble the s’mores French toast by placing the toasted marshmallows on one slice, topping with chocolate, and then place the other piece of Graham-crusted bread on top.

Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman
A
ugust brings “National S’mores Day” in honor of this quintessential campfire treat. Creative culinary minds have tweaked the iconic recipe to make it even more fun and scrumptious (if that’s possible), while healthconscious chefs have rejiggered the ingredients to make it more guilt-free. No one has really laid a solid claim to the invention of s’mores, although the first recipe for this novel sandwich appeared in a 1927 handbook, “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.” The basic ingredients and Simple Simon concept provided a portable and non-perishable treat for camping trips and cookouts. The name’s origin, probably apocryphal, is the contraction of “some more,” supposedly the garbled verbiage from a child scarfing down a mouthful of the treat and asking for a second helping. S’mores consist of three solid components: marshmallows, honey Graham crackers and chocolate bars. The former, the oldest and gooiest has been around for 4,000 years when ancient Egyptians blended honey with root extracts of the marshmallow plant to create a sore throat elixir. Millenniums later, French
gastronomes refined the recipe by blending egg white meringues and rose water into the gummy root juices to create a frothy paste. Today’s marshmallow is completely void of the mallow plant juices, swapping them out for gelatin and corn syrup giving the confection its familiar pillowy shape. The second component is the Graham cracker named after the pioneer health food guru, Sylvester Graham who created the crisp, highfiber flat bread from nonsifted whole-wheat flour in the 1820s. The final ingredient to complete is the food of the gods: chocolate. Cocoa entrepreneur Milton Hershey honed the blissful milk chocolate bar at his Pennsylvania factory. He massproduced and distributed the iconic Hershey bar for all wallets to enjoy. For s’mores galore here’s a gustatory line-up for those who want a break from tradition: • Amore, s’more: Make an Italian version with a hazelnut chocolate spread like Nutella. • Aloha with a Hawaiian flare of toasted coconut and candied pineapple chunks. • Go Mediterranean with a sprinkling of sea salt and cayenne pepper. • South-of-the-border s’mores use Mexican chocolate and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. • The Blondie is made with organic white chocolate. • The Elvis uses the King’s favorite sandwich fixin’s — peanut butter and bananas. • The Grasshopper features mint chocolate. • The Turtle adds caramel
and toasted pecans to the middle. • Tutti Frutti adds your favorite fruit to the mix, like blueberries, strawberries, peach slices or dried apricots. • Sustainable S’mores are a health-conscious, organic version with made-fromscratch Graham crackers and marshmallows along with high-octane, full-of-antioxidants bittersweet chocolate. • Vegans can buy kosher marshmallows sans animal by-products (gelatin) or seek out a soy-based mallow spread. • Adult-only S’mores employ Martini of Smirnoff Marshmallow or cinnamoninfused vanilla vodka, chocolate liqueur and bitters. Around town, you can sample these concoctions minus the bonfire: The Gaslamp’s Saltbox offers Chef Simon Dolinky’s “Campfire S’more,” which marries house-made marshmallows and Graham crackers with a smoked chocolate drizzle; Sprinkles La Jolla does a s’mores cupcake combining Graham cracker cake filled with bittersweet chocolate ganache and marshmallow frosting; pig out with Gaijin Noodle + Sake House’s kitschy Bacon S’mores, mixing crisky nueske bacon drizzled with Hershey’s chocolate, toasted marshmallows and housemade Grahams. The US Grant’s Chef Chris Kurth monkeys around with vanilla marshmallows, Graham cracker ice cream and brown sugar bananas, drizzled with warm fudge. — For homemade marshmallow or grahamcracker recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

FROM SCHOOLS, B1 and California State University (CSU) schools — “whether or not they’re college bound.” The letter lists the following requirement changes: World Language: Two years of the same language for grades 7-12 (4 credits) Mathematics: Three years of Algebra, Geometry, Intermediate Algebra for grades 7-12 (6 credits) Visual and Performing Arts: One year of UC/CSUapproved visual and performing arts courses (2 credits). Previously, students could fulfill the second year of World Language with a year of arts courses instead. Now, they must complete two years learning the same language, and one year of approved arts courses. n Whooping Cough Booster Incoming seventh graders must get their Tdap, aka whooping cough booster, that protects against pertussis, before they go back to school, according to the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency.
About San Diego Unified School District
■ $1 billion annual operating budget ■ 132,000 students, pre-K through grade 12 ■ Second-largest district in California ■ Student population: 15 ethnic groups, 60 languages/dialects ■ 118 elementary schools, including K-8 ■ 24 middle schools ■ 28 high schools ■ 45 charter schools ■ 16,062 students receive Special Ed services ■ 9,745 students come from military families ■ 25,000 students in gifted/talented program — sandi.net “This applies to all students, ages 11 and 12, who completed grade six last year,” said spokesman Jose Alvarez. “Last year the rule applied to all seventh- through twelfth-graders. The immunization requirement was first mandated in 2011, after the county recorded 1,144 cases of pertussis in 2010. Last year, 436 cases were reported countywide. To date in 2012, 68 cases have been documented.
A free immunization clinic for the Tdap is set for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 28 at John Muir School, 4431 Mt. Herbert.

However, this year, there is no longer a
requirement that students buy their combination locks from the school, and they are encouraged to bring their own, said Kathleen Doll, site technician. The online store aims to alleviate long lines at the financial window. Students may pick up purchased items on campus during registration days Aug. 24-30. “We hope a lot of people use it,” Doll said. “We will have an automatic list of
who has paid.” An e-mail blast will be sent to students with blocks of times and days for them to pick up books, take I.D. card pictures, turn in signed paperwork and pick up P.E. clothes, Doll said, noting that the entire process will take a couple of hours and should be arranged and completed before school starts in September. LJHS students can get a head start with the required annual paperwork by visiting LJHS.sandi.net and following the link to download registration forms. n School Uniforms A few schools in the district now recommend students wear uniforms. Parents are advised to check their child’s school website to find out the latest uniform policies. Beginning Aug. 23, parents will be able to call their schools directly to inquire.
Sign Up Days Sign Up Days are used to make the first days back at school after summer vacation run smoothly. Parents benefit from this onestop-shopping method of completing orientation materials, and teachers are able to focus on classroom instruction rather than managing paperwork when students arrive. ■B ird Rock Elementary Tuesday, Aug. 28 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 5-7 p.m. ■L a Jolla Elementary School Wednesday, Aug. 29 8:30-10:30 a.m. or 5-7 p.m. ■ Muirlands Middle School Thursday, Aug. 30 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ■L a Jolla High School Aug. 24-30

It takes 12 pounds of milk to make just one gallon of ice cream. True. That’s according to icecream.com, which also reports these chilling facts: It takes an average of 50 licks to polish off a single-scoop ice cream cone.

Art Association’s summer show delightfully breaks out of the norm Let’s Review By WILL BOWEN
T
he La Jolla Art Association’s recent “Summer Magic” gallery exhibit (July 30-Aug. 12) was a refreshing surprise and a delight to the senses. There were some very colorful and very different types of art in the show — not at all the usual art association-style coast landscapes, children playing at the beach and still lifes. The pieces in “Summer Magic” were a demonstration of the mastery of such painterly concepts as hue, chroma and value. Lead artist and curator of the show, Cyndy Klong, said
Phoebe Burnham with her painting, ‘Mr. Toad Gets a Birdie on the 9th.’ she put on the exhibit “to celebrate our summer visitors with images of the beach and San Diego as a point of interest and a destination. I

different artists in the show.” Three of these artists stand out from the crowd for doing something unique: Mikhail Khodzhayauk, Artie Matteson and Phoebe Burnham. Russian painter Khodzhayauk painted some large, strikingly bright, simplistic Mexican Rivera beach scenes inspired by the colors and customs of Mexican folklore and making use of numerous dots of colors. The use of the dots as a technique is something you do not see often and was well executed. Khodzhayauk’s paintings reach out to you, grab you by the eyes, and take you on a journey of interest around his paintings. Matteson created some wonderfully crowded pen-
and-pencil drawings in the children’s book illustrationstyle that tied together all kinds of unrelated subjects in a circus of color and activity. Matteson said she used an Aaron Brothers’ disposable pen with colored pencils to make her drawings. “Mine is a whimsical approach with a potpourri of local scenes, or a travelogue, made just to enjoy from a positive perspective. Basically, it all just came out of the tip of my pen in a stream-ofconsciousness fashion.” One of her drawings, called “Lost in Space,” featured a string of astronauts floating in space near the Apollo space capsule with the Moon Rover nearby, but below is
an Egyptian barge floating down the Nile toward a Victorian house where salmon are seated at a table dining, and members of Matteson’s family are frolicking nearby. “The inspiration for the drawing was that my father was a space scientist,” she said. Matteson said she developed her style of drawing while at the California College of the Arts. In her various classes she would illustrate the teachers’ lectures with drawings that helped her remember the material. “I like cats and reptiles,” she said. “One of my sons is a herpetologist and the other is a train conductor, and my two twins are musicians with their own group called ‘The Mattson 2.’ They will be giving a concert at Humphreys by the Bay soon.” Burnham is 92 years old and still paints everyday. She is the Grandma Moses of LJAA. “I moved here from Massachusetts in 1950 and never left,” she laughed. Burnham attributes her longevity and good health to “clean living, high moral character, a good sense of humor, awesome genes, and a glass of wine at dinner … and sometimes lunch.”

FROM ART, B16 Burnham has a wonderful painting in the show of a toad golfer who has discovered his golf ball has landed in a heron’s nest. It is called “Mr. Toad Gets a Birdie on the 9th Hole.” “I painted it as a joke for my son who is a golfer. I actually found a knickknack statue of a toad golfer with his ball in a heron’s nest at an Amvets thrift store (my ‘purchase therapy’ store), so I used that as my model for the painting.” Burnham had another painting of Scotch dancers in Descanso in the show and she brought in a wonderful painting of her great-granddaughter, which she titled, “Burnham’s Birth of Venus 2012.” The painting parodies Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus,” but instead of Venus, Burnham paints her greatgranddaughter arms raised, holding a banana, standing in a bowl of fruit with Lake Tahoe as a background. Her great-granddaughter, who is so very young, has the wisdom of age in her eyes. All the different aspects of the painting were brought together with unrelated photographs as their model.

Genealogist to share research tips In the wings ■ La Jolla Art Association’s next exhibit will be ‘All Good Things Are Wild and Free,’ Aug. 27-Sept.9, with an opening reception, 7-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1 at 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, La Jolla Shores. For more information, call (858) 459-1196 The wonder of this painting is how it deconstructs the conventions of still life, portraits and landscapes, and the zeitgeist about them that has developed at LJAA. The result is a welcome antidote to serious business of creating illusions with paints. The three painters mentioned point to a trend that is sorely needed at LJAA in order to make it a great institution of art making. There needs to be more work pre-
sented that challenges convention or pushes the edge of the discipline or develops new use of technique and much more work that is socially engaged or social conscious — art that can help us better see or understand the world, or who we are, or where we are going. Art should not always just be about the narcissistic engulfment in making pretty pictures, nor the display of mastered skills and talents.
Randy Seaver will present a workshop on “Finding Your Elusive Ancestor: The Genealogical Proof Standard and Doing an Exhaustive Search,” from 9 a.m. to noon, Aug. 18 at the next meeting of the Computer Genealogy Society of San Diego, held in the Robinson Auditorium on UCSD campus.

Tan Dun’s ‘Water Passion’ wows SummerFest audience Let’s Review
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt
O
n Saturday night, Aug. 4, a crowd of SummerFest musiclovers gathered at the La Jolla Playhouse to experience a multimedia oratorio written by Chinese composer Tan Dun to commemorate the 250th anniversary of J.S. Bach’s death. Both aurally and visually stunning, “Water Passion After St. Matthew” began with soft, otherworldly sounds and lighting, and ended with the whispered word “silence,” a slow parade of performers dipping into a cascade of gold-lit, amplified water bowls, and then — silence, a rare minute of total silence in the theater before the roar of applause. Tan Dun, based in New
Composer/conductor Tan Dun, in a pre-concert chat with violinist/Summerfest music director Cho-Liang ‘Jimmy’ Lin. York, was raised in a village in Hunan, trained in the theatrical traditions of Chinese opera, and is bestknown for his Oscar-winning score for “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” Since childhood, he has been fascinated by water and the natural music it makes.
In his pre-concert talk with SummerFest music director Cho-Liang Lin, a longtime friend who performed in the 2000 Stuttgart premiere of “Water Passion,” he quoted classical poet Li Po (“the Chinese Shakespeare”): “If the sounds of water are so

an audience member — there was a mix of drums, strings, and Tibetan bells, monkish chants, Chinese opera, and Tuvan throat singing, along with a little jazz and John Cage. Though the piece is a homage to Bach, whose music felt like “spiritual
medicine” to Dun after the bad old days of China’s Cultural Revolution, “Water Passion” is more Buddhist than Bach-ish, reflective of Dun’s own experience of suffering and resurrection. This was the stage picture:

At the top, sparkling in reflected golden light, was percussionist Bonnie Whiting Smith, who moved like a dancer. (She just received her Ph.D. in music performance from UCSD.) Thirty-six members of the San Diego Master Chorale filled seats in the risers below her, with two more percussionists —UCSD Ph.D candidate Dustin Donahue and David Cossin, featured in the score of “Crouching Tiger” — at the edges of the cross’s horizontal, and conductor/composer Tan Dun at the base. Flanking Dun were the soloists: violinist Cho-Liang Lin and cellist Felix Fan, and two singers, bass-baritone Stephen Bryant and coloratura soprano Ying Huang. The lighting was blue and gold, except at the moment of crucifixion, when the bowls turned bloodred. At the end, back to gold light, and the sounds of water. “Water ... is the beginning, and the beginning is the

Water, a metaphor for the unity of the eternal and the external, as well as a symbol of baptism, renewal, recreation and resurrection, played a key role in the conception of my Water Passion after St. Matthew.
