By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com Sunday culminates a year of hard work by more than 100 volunteers who have been working to make the annual Luau & Longboard Invitational happen.
It’s also the day that Dr. Dennis Carson, who this year went back to the lab after eight years as director of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center, will be honored at the event that has raised more than $5 million. He’s now working on finding drugs to treat breast and ovarian cancer and leukemia at the UCSD facility, one of

Bird Rock crash victims, families gather with firefighters By Dave SChwaB Staff writer A year after a tragic drunken driving crash that seriously injured La Jolla teens Alani Aguerre, Ian Brininstool and Myles Polger, they, their families and the firefighters who ministered to them gathered to mark the occasion with food, camaraderie and good cheer. “Sometimes it’s an unpredicted series of events that turns strangers into friends — and that’s certainly what happened,” said Lorne Polger, Myle’s father, at a party at the Aguerre residence Monday night, the one-year anniversary of the incident. Noting the outcome “could have been dramatically worse,” Polger added, “We’re just incredibly lucky.” “To life … and you should all have happy, healthy lives,” he said leading a toast. See CRaSh, a14

Kudos to Jeannie and Art Rivkin for the wonderful rose garden planted in front of their property at 836 Prospect St. The English Tudor building, which houses a number of businesses, was built by John and Henry Morgan in 1919 for Sarah Beckwith after she moved here from Illinois, Jeannie Rivkin said last week. After they purchased it, they moved the sidewalk to the center of the property to accommodate tenants. She said she and her husband are “rose fanciers” and are planning to add even more bushes. She praised their gardener for his hard work in keeping the garden looking so beautiful. One time, she said, they hosted a wedding and when friends have special occasions, they will pick roses for them. JENNIFER BRYAN PHOTO

Lifeguards dealing with tough working conditions By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Reports have surfaced that lifeguards at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool may be getting ill from a continuing buildup of harbor seal, seagull, pigeon, rat and squirrel waste at the beach and in the condemned lifeguard tower there. One lifeguard who works at Children’s Pool, Alex Riley, said he missed a month of work in June after contracting spinal meningitis and being hospitalized for treatment. He is back on the job now but has a claim pending against the city asking for back pay from missed time. Riley said he feels that Children’s Pool might be a hazardous place to work. “A lot of us (lifeguards) had respiratory issues off and on this whole past winter,” he said. “There’s definitely issues with air quality around here. The city should take responsibility for this situation. They’re supposed to be able to provide us with a safe, clean working environment, which they have not done.” San Diego Lifeguard Chief Rick Wurts, noting that he couldn’t talk about employees’ illnesses because of federal privacy laws, said, “There has been no established connection” last week when asked to respond to the
report. A county health official, Michele Ginsberg, medical director of the epidemiology and immunization branch in the county’s Health and Human Services Department, who is also bound by those laws, said she could not release how many cases have been reported in a specific area, like La Jolla. However, she said there had not been “a recent cluster of cases in any one area.” Asked whether the illness meningitis — inflammation of the meninges, the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord — could be contracted from airborne exposure or by contact with contaminated water, she answered, “It’s highly unlikely, not from exposure to the workplace.” Another lifeguard stationed at the Children’s Pool, Sgt. Ed Harris, said he couldn’t “positively say that illnesses have resulted from exposure to feces (in and around the pool).” But the problem got serious enough in recent weeks, he added, that guards decided to “borrow a power washer from a construction company and blow away accumulated bird feces” on the roof. In some spots, he said, it was as much as 2 inches deep. Since then, spikes and other obstacles have been
The condemned children’s Pool lifeguard tower has become a haven for birds and rodents. Dave Schwab photo put on the roof to discourage birds from settling there, he added. Harris described working conditions as “a tough situation” at the temporary lifeguard tower where prevailing winds come in off the beach. “It’s hard to watch the water when
your eyes are watering from the stench of the seals and the birds when it gets really hot in July and August,” he said. Harris said birds and rodents have

LJ man is force behind presidential bid By Jonathan heller Bob Schuman, a La Jollabased political consultant who has made a long and successful career out of being the man behind the candidate, has found himself squarely in the media spotlight recently. Schuman, who lives and works in La Jolla, has made headlines by launching Americans for Rick Perry, a national, independent grassroots campaign to draft the Texas governor into the presidential race. He was successful — Perry announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination over the weekend. As national campaign director, Schuman has granted several media interviews in recent weeks. This is something of a departure for a man who is typically hired directly by candidates as a paid consultant and lets the candidate do the talking. “I’ve never been one of those consultants who sought the limelight or thought I was more important than my candidate,” he said in a recent interview. But Americans for Rick Perry is a so-called “527 organiza-
tion,” an IRS-sanctioned taxexempt entity that seeks to influence the nomination or defeat of candidates to public office. One requirement under the IRS code is that the group cannot have direct contact or coordination with the candidate. That’s why Schuman is the man in front of the microphone these days. Actually, Schuman has never met Perry, a fact that he says has no bearing on his unwavering support. Schuman said he’s impressed by Perry’s conservative ideology and focus on jobs and the economy. He also mentioned that Perry captured 39 percent of the Latino vote in his last election, which suggests he has the potential to broaden the GOP’s base. Lucas O’Connor, a local Progressive political consultant, voiced concern about the trend of people forming 527 groups to support candidates they don’t personally know.
“A political consultant has successfully drafted a possible president from 1,000 miles away without meeting him?” O’Connor said. “That’s the strongest evidence yet that we’re electing resumes with soundbites. What does grassroots even mean in the digital age?” Schuman, 56, has amassed a substantial resume in his more than 30 years in politics. A relative unknown whose first job out of college was working for the Iowa State Republican Party in 1978, Schuman gained a spot on the platform committee at the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas through hard work and “being aggressive.” Since then he’s worked for Republican presidential candidates Jack Kemp and Phil Gramm, and numerous Congressional and Senate candidates. Closer to home, he helped propel former U.S. Senator and California Governor Pete
Wilson, former San Diego City Councilman Byron Wear and San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith into office, among others. John Nienstedt, President of Competitive Edge Research, is a local pollster who has worked often with Schuman over the years. “He’s an experienced political hand who is strategic in his thinking,” Nienstedt said. “He’s also a snappy dresser with a good sense of humor.” Schuman was credited with reinvigorating the San Diego County Republican Party when he became chairman in 1985 at age 29. A San Diego Evening Tribune article of that year said Schuman boosted the local GOP’s fundraising muscle by installing a phone bank that was also used for get-out-the-vote efforts. Focusing on voter registration, Schuman was also able to briefly displace Democrats as the city’s majority party in 1986. Schuman toyed with running for San Diego City Council in 1987 but ultimately opted out, preferring to remain behind the scenes.

Edwin Wrench: Satellite designer, Battle of Bulge survivor dies at 86 By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer From being a German war prisoner to graduating with a physics degree from UC Berkeley to working on the first hydrogen warhead for the first ICBM for Convair and helping NASA on space program applications, Edwin Henning Wrench Sr.’s life was anything but ordinary. The longtime La Jolla resident who survived colon cancer surgery in 1984, died Monday, Aug. 8 at Scripps Memorial Hospital. He was 86. Having worked in San Diego and been a La Jolla resident since 1952, Wrench was involved in the Atlas Missile Program and the
development of some of the U.S.’s first satellites. “He was a design engineer for Convair. They would give him a problem and he would design a solution for it — he was always coming up with ideas,” said son Kirke Wrench. During World War II, he edwin was captured by the Germans wrench at the Battle of the Bulge and spent several months as a POW before jumping from a train and escaping. Wrench’s daughter, Kathy Fait, who edited her father’s autobiography, said he was a brilliant and private man with a disarming sense

of humor and always willing to tell a joke. But she added he was selective in talking about his war experiences, which affected him the rest of his life. “He didn’t like to talk about himself very much until he got older, then he started sharing more and more,” she said, recounting one humorous anecdote. “He was just doodling on a piece of paper and the Germans thought he must be a spy or something and they spent all this time trying to decipher the doodling,” she said. “He suspected his one major contribution to the Allied war effort was engaging one German expert in deciphering his drawings.” Kirke Wrench said his father “was terribly claustrophic,” and in his autobiography noted that he and other prisoners were transported by train, 80 to a car designed for 40, which he likened to “being locked in a crowded elevator with a power failure and the building on fire.” After living largely on a starvation diet,

Helping Those With Spinal Cord Injuries Because the spinal cord is the primary information pathway between the brain and the rest of the body, injury resulting from catastrophic trauma poses significant physiological consequences. Most injuries do not result in complete severing of the spinal cord, and the degree to which body functions are compromised or lost depends on the severity of the injury and which section of the cord is affected. Physical therapists use specialized techniques to increase strength and range of motion, improve walking and sitting ability, increase range of motion and decrease pain. In addition, balance and proprioception training is an important component as well as assistive device training. The physical therapists at Ability Rehab specialize in neurological rehabilitation, including spinal cord injuries. Our approach is multi-pronged, addressing each individual’s specific needs based on a thorough evaluation on the first visit. From there a unique treatment plan is created to address overall mobility and function, strength, flexibility and gait as well as the above aforementioned. Call Ability Rehab to schedule an appointment. P.S. Spinal cord injury is not always obvious. Any injury involving the head, pelvic fractures, penetrating injuries in the area of the spine, and injuries involving falls from heights should be suspected for spinal cord damage.

which included frozen rutabagas and “bad” chicken, Kirke and Kathy said their father could never again stomach either. Kathy Fowler Eddy, one of Kathy Fait’s best childhood friends who knew Wrench well, said of him,” He was active in mind and in body. I recall going to the Wrench’s house many evenings and he would be reading the paper and listening to the TV news with headphones. He often had some type of engineering project going in the garage, like an early version of solar panels to heat their pool. … He also knew how to relax and enjoy his family.” Wrench and his wife Marian traveled extensively in Europe, Australia and China. While they still could, they biked 10 miles a day, golfed and swam. Edwin Wrench used to tell people planning to retire “they should do anything they want to before retirement because they won’t have time afterward.”

LA JOLLA LIGHT - AUGUST 18, 2011 - Page a7
Town Council opts for secret ballot on new trustee By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer If he’d been a racehorse you’d say he won by a nose. Howard G. Singer, antique car collector and longtime Bird Rock resident, was elected last week as the La Jolla Town Council’s newest trustee when the group decided on Aug. 11 to move to a written ballot. The vote was a 10-10 tie, broken by President Rick Wildman. It was the first time a written ballot was used to fill a vacancy. “Everyone who wants to serve should be able to serve,” said Wildman in casting the deciding vote. Singer’s candidacy as a volunteer trustee was challenged because of his previous stance advocating removing Christmas from the name of the Town Council’s annual La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival. In 2005, he was one of a group of La Jollans seeking to make the event more inclusive through changing the event’s name. The Town Council voted 11-9 by secret ballot that year to leave the name alone. Formed in 1950 by numerous civic and business organizations, the council was set up as a forum to debate community issues and advise local legislators of their positions. Normally elections are held in the spring to fill eight of the 24 trustee spots, with all paid members allowed to cast votes in the mail-in election. However, the council’s bylaws allow for election by the trustees when vacancies occur throughout the year. In 2011, seven trustees — John Donaldson, Cindy Greatrex, Greg Phillips, Mary Soriano, Jennifer Van Galder, Peter Wulff and Ruth Yansick — were elected. Already this year, the board has added six more — Tricia Butler, Evan Morgan, Ken King and Sona Maria Olivas, Nancy Gardner and now Singer. Appointees were selected by the executive committee and voted on by the full board, per the council’s bylaws. One seat remains open. In Singer’s case, Trustee Ed Ward called for a written ballot From calenDar, a6 (858) 456-2114 for details. • 6:30 p.m. Toastmasters La Jolla, La Jolla Firehouse YMCA, 7787 Herschel Ave. Wednesday, Aug. 24 • 7:30 a.m. Soroptimist International of La Jolla meeting, La Jolla Shores Hotel, 8110 Camino del Oro. • 11:45 a.m. Torrey Pines (La Jolla) Rotary meeting, Rock Bottom Brewery, 8980 Villa La Jolla Drive. • 5 p.m. La Jolla Parks & Rec Inc. meeting, La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

instead of having a show of hands for the vote, which has been customary in appointing trustees to vacant positions. “When it comes to voting for officers or annually for trustees or for trustee vacancies, I think it should be a private vote on matters of individual choice,” Ward said. “Roberts Rules of Order provides this can be done by written ballot.” Singer said Nancy Gardner, the most recent addition, was elected by a show of hands and he questioned whether a written ballot was appropriate. Ward prevailed and the group voted 13-6 in favor of having a written ballot. At the end of the meeting, Ward requested that the question of having all future trustee votes be done by written ballot be put on the group’s next agenda for a vote on Sept. 8. Pressed on whether he’s changed his stance vis-à-vis the pa-
rade name, Singer said, ”That’s ancient history — I’ve gotten beyond that.” Noting his motivation to join the group was to “give back” to the community, Singer added, “I have no problem with the name. I love a parade.” Singer said, with his connections in the antique car community, that he believes he can be an asset in helping build the parade by acquiring classic vehicles for it. Trustee Ann Kerr-Bache, who’s led the town council’s parade committee the past few years, said Singer’s previous participation in a media campaign to change the parade’s name had left some residual ill will among some group members. “I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt,” she said, but added, “You ought not to try to get involved with the parade committee right away. Maybe you ought to join the membership committee first instead.”

This oceanfront property in La Jolla sold for $11,550,000, making it the highest-priced sale in La Jolla since 2009, according to Susana Corrigan of Prudential California Realty who was the listing agent. FROM HOUSE, A1 Jeff Nunn, Coldwell Banker’s branch manager, said sale is an indication that the local real estate market seems to have a little more traction than a year ago, which is evident in more showings, although some prices are being lowered to attract buyers. He noted that the sale is highest priced in the county this year. Coldwell Banker also has listed another oceanfront property that will hit the market in the coming weeks — next door to the Bird Rock home where MTV’s “The Real World” is being filmed. They’re waiting until the neighborhood calm returns to show the Chelsea Avenue home. It has five bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms and is listed with a price tag of around $7.5 million. Maria Weiss of the firm’s Del Mar office and Irene McCann of the La Jolla office are sharing the listing. Coldwell Banker La Jolla’s Linda Marrone also has re-listed the oceanfront home once occupied by Roger Revelle, founder of
UCSD and father of the global warming theory. It had previously been listed for $14 million, but was taken off the market and relisted for $12.5 million. Nunn said the home was taken off the market so it could be updated with some cosmetic touches like paint and new window coverings. In addition, the older furnishings were removed and the home has been completely staged for the sale. He added that the price drop is indicative of the current market, with sellers lowering prices to adjust to the shifting demands. The property has been in the Scripps family since it was built in 1922 by Rex B. and Grace Scripps Clark. She was the daughter of the founder of the Detroit Evening News and niece of La Jolla philanthropists Ellen Browning Scripps and Eliza Virginia Scripps. In 1940, Grace Clark deeded the home to her daughter Ellen and her husband Roger, who moved there permanently in 1947.

IS FACE TO FACE NETWORKING OUT OF STYLE? Absolutely not! Even with all of the hype about social networking on Facebook, Twitter etc. the weekly, Wednesday morning “pitch” sessions for REBA are always standing room only! REBA members meet once a week to give open pitches to colleague’s, which include new listings, price reductions, rentals and any other information pertinent to today’s real estate market. Much of the information “traded” at the meetings is not on the Internet and is available only through live interaction among REBA members. The interpersonal relationships the 600 REBA members have built over the years is in-
valuable. It is important that a good working relationship is established between the buyer’s and seller’s agents to avoid unwelcome delays and unwelcome surprises. Also present are ‘affiliate” members that include title companies, lenders, members
of the press, investment brokers, builders and other organizations contributing to real estate marketing in La Jolla. After this pitch session REBA members leave to caravan. What is that? Look for our next article this month in the La Jolla Light.

By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com Put the Village back in La Jolla. That’s the line coined by the La Jolla Village Merchants Association’s new executive director, Rosemary Murrieta, who was introduced at Wednesday’s board meeting. The message cropped up throughout the meeting as committee members talked about plans to improve the appearance and business climate in La Jolla’s central business area. President Phil Coller said for “tourists and local residents, this place has gone downhill.” He emphasized the need to bring back the “razzle dazzle, noting the key is “to decide what to do and how to do it.” Some of the ideas presented during the meeting included: n putting a new twist on the annual Gallery Wine Walk & Taste, tentatively set for Oct. 20; n a Green Team, to get the word out to customers and other businesses about who is using sustainable business practices and to advance recycling among members; n a branding campaign that “paints a picture of La Jolla of the future” through a concerted campaign — including redesigned website — that will be handled by Departures, a Gaslamp Quarter advertising firm; and n beautification efforts, including making sure streetlights work, sidewalks are clean and there’s more unified streetscape. Emily Rex, from the ad agency, talked a bit about their efforts aimed at polishing the “established” and “iconic” image of La Jolla, which “is a bit tarnished and no longer top of mind.” While her firm works on improving perceptions, Coller noted it would be up to the merchants group “to live up to this.” With Murrieta on board, members believe that may be easier since she will be a fulltime employee focused on helping the association achieve its goals. After the meeting and a “celebratory” press conference marking the rebirth of the business improvement district, Murrieta said her background in fundraising and nonprofits will enable her to help the group bring the Village back. “Fundraising will be an important part of
La Jolla Village Merchants association’s new executive director, Rosemary Murrieta. the job,” she said. “Once we have more specific plans, we will get large sponsors for events, and we have revenue opportunities for the website.” She also said she hopes to launch a capital campaign to raise money for fixing sidewalks and for public art. During her first couple of weeks on the job, she’s been attending events and meetings with groups like the La Jolla Art Association and the La Jolla Music Society’s opening night concert. “I’m excited about the community spirit,” she said, noting that the “organizations are coming together for a noble purpose.” A sense of the spirit was evident in the gathering at the end of the meeting, where Coller was joined by Murrieta, Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, Town Council President and former Promote La Jolla President Rick Wildman, and Patrick Edwards, president of the Business Improvement District Council. The group works with the 17 business districts in the city that collect fees from merchant members within their defined boundaries to support marketing and other efforts aimed at increasing business.

From Luau with breast cancer and was told she had just months to live. Known as the “Queen of Makaha,” where she surfed and paddled outrigger canoes and helped children, she fought the disease for 15 years before passing away in 1998. That was the first year the award was presented in her honor. Carson said for years he’s watched the luau and surfing contest, which features teams from the biotech, medical and financial communities who are joined by surfing legends who go “Surfing for a Cure.” There’s even a team of “Thrivers,” who are all cancer survivors. “The event is unique to San Diego and attracts a different group of supporters,” he said, noting that many are still working, younger and active in the business community. “Many haven’t ever thought of cancer or estate planning.” As director of the center, he saw the good that the funds raised at the event have done. Funds go to the director’s discretionary fund, he said, and can be used for pilot projects and early research, recruiting and support for patient services that insurance does not cover. Cory Reynolds, a business development manager with Manpower Inc., and Taylor Peterson of CONNECT are co-chairs of this year’s event and began working on it at 3 p.m. Aug. 20, 2010, when they were introduced at the end of the luau. That day lasted until dark, he recalled. Since then, they’ve spent countless hours rounding up other volunteers, who have been meeting since February working on everything from logistics to recruiting surfing legends and sponsors.
Reynolds said he and Peterson are “just cheerleaders” whose task is to keep the volunteers engaged and create a community. For some it’s become more than that — several have found spouses among the volunteers. Each year, the team must also come up with an event artist, asking for a donation of a signature artwork that can serve as the logo for shirts and posters. This year Robb Havassy stepped up. A selftaught artist who once was an international fashion model, he’s known for his sports portraits and for his unique style in paintings of women, landscapes, flowers, children and animals. Reynolds is a cancer survivor — he is in remission from leukemia — and knows full well the value of drug discovery and research. Instead of taking multiple medications, he has to take only a single pill each day, he said. Without it, he added, the only alternative would have been a bone marrow transplant. “I had been a surfer for years,” Reynolds said, noting that he went to his first Longboard event in 1996 when he worked at SAIC. “Seeing the legends was the coolest thing ever.” Acknowledging he didn’t know about the cancer center, he “ran around with a camera” that first year and got more involved as the years went on. Now he’s in the last hours of the effort and can’t wait to show off the Moores center during Saturday’s VIP event — the first time it’s been held at the center. He said it will be like “pulling the curtains open” and showing off the center to the more than 200 guests.
From Crash, a1 Thankfulness was the keynote of the evening. Santiago Aguerre, father of Alani who was the most seriously injured when she was been pinned beneath the car that struck the trio in front of the Cass Street Cafe, was thankful his daughter’s life was spared. “It must probably be one of the biggest pains a parent could feel, losing a kid — and we were almost there,” he wrote in an e-mail as he was out of town Monday. “And it is probably the happiest sentiment a parent could feel, seeing a loved young one come back to health — and we are almost there.” Noting the past year has been “a very hard sentimental roller coaster” for his family, Aguerre thanked “all the great people that helped, cared, called, e-mailed and just supported us in many ways: that it is also your success story as well as Alani’s.” “We are thankful to have her every day,” said his wife Cecilia Aguerre, noting the incident hasn’t really changed her philosophy of life. “We’ve always been aware how fragile life is,” she said. The purpose of the crash anniversary observance was to commemorate “the miracle that let us be together and to thank our God, angels, destiny,” she added. Alani, who will be a sophomore at The Bishop’s School this year, said the incident has changed her perspective. “Every day is more special, and it’s a gift to have,” she said. “She was amazingly mature the way she reacted to the whole situation even though she was in pain mentally and spiritually, but very determined to get well, to go back to school, to play sports,” her mother said. “She
never forgot her goal.” Jeff Macelli was dining with his wife Sherry inside the Bird Rock café on about 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010, when Ronald Troyer’s car crashed into the restaurant. At the anniversary party, he said he was thankful when Ronald Troyer, the car’s driver who had a long history of substance abuse, was sentenced to a long prison term. “He’s in a place where he’s not going to hurt anybody again,” Macelli said. “There’s no question the justice system is screwed up when this kind of thing can happen over and over again.” Firefighter Leslie Gallo, at the event with several others who responded that night, was thankful for being able to interact with people she’d helped after the fact because it’s so rare. “We made a difference,” she said with a note of pride. Capt. Tony Rivas, the firefighter who supervised emergency relief on the crash scene a year ago, was thankful that fate could sometimes be kind. “It was a miracle that no one was killed,” he said, pointing out the “physics” of the way the crash went down “couldn’t happen again if you tried.” “I don’t know why things like that happen to anybody,” he added. “But what I have learned in life is to try and find some reason to be positive, whether to appreciate your own life or appreciate the country we live in that has the emergency medical system that we do.” Speaking for all assembled, Rivas said, “We’re thankful that everything turned out like this. … It’s just really nice.”

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS European Motorcars opens its doors San Diego‘s growing appetite for fine automobiles has led to the opening of San Diego European Motorcars, the city’s only factoryauthorized dealer of Jaguar and Aston Martin cars, as well as Lotus. Each one of these marquee brands is world-renowned for finesse, refinement and an exhilarating driving experience. “Premium automobiles are our passion - not for the sake of the cars themselves but rather for the experience of the driver,” says David Murphy, president of San Diego European Motorcars’ parent, the California European Auto Group. “At San Diego European, our promise is to provide San Diego County with worldclass cars and customer experience in both our sales and service operations,” says San Diego European Motorcars general manager Gary Sorter.
San Diego European Motorcars is located at 7820 Balboa Ave. in San Diego.

A Better Deal wins national honor Jerry and Janet Klein, owners of A Better Deal Designer Tuxedos and Suits, recently received the “Retailer of the Year” award presented by the president of the International Formalwear Association at the organization’s convention in Las Vegas. They soon will celebrate their 15th year at 369 Bird Rock Ave. Their family-owned and operated specialty store offering in-stock men’s formalwear and suits has proven that you can triumph even when the giants are your competition. “With the overwhelming amount of takeovers and consolidations, where biggest is supposed to be the best, this type of business has shown otherwise,” Jerry said. “Ours is not like a commodity product. The customer needs to see, feel and
try on formal wear.” He also noted “with the global world we live in today, members of the wedding party send sizes from all over the world, and to be able to take care of necessary changes and adjustments with an in-stock store, is priceless.” Janet added that “it is each and everyone of our responsibilities as formalwear specialists, employers and employees to educate the customer on the origins and etiquette of formalwear. We take pride in what we do and we do it with heart.” The couple said they are “thankful to their dedicated employees and to their associates in this industry that helped in getting us where we are at today.” Call them at (858) 551-6044 or go to www.abdtuxedo.com for information.

SIO team reports on world’s most robust marine reserve
Research Report By Lynne Friedmann An undersea park near the tip of Mexico’s Baja peninsula is the world’s most robust marine reserve, according to a study led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD. Results of a 10-year analysis of Cabo Pulmo National Park (CPNP) revealed that the reserve’s biomass (total amount of fish in the ecosystem) boomed more than 460 percent from 1999 to 2009. Another striking finding: Fish communities in the 71-square-kilometer site recovered to a level comparable to remote, pristine sites that have never been fished by humans. CPNP was established in response to overfishing. Key to the reserve’s recovery has been protection of spawning areas. Equally important, boat captains, dive
masters, and local citizens have been united in enforcing strict “no take” regulations and share surveillance, fauna protection, and water-quality efforts. Recovery has spawned eco-tourism businesses, including coral reef diving and kayaking, making it a model for areas depleted by fishing in the Gulf of California and elsewhere. Findings appear in the online journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) ONE. News release at http://bit.ly/ r5SS4k.

Detecting Alzheimer’s disease A study led by the UCSD School of Medicine and VA San Diego Healthcare System suggests that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be more difficult to detect in people over the age of 80. The study involved 105 people with the disease and 125 people free of dementia. Participants were grouped according to age (60 to 75 years or age 80 years and older). All were tested to measure language, attention and information processing speed, and immediate and delayed ability to recall information. Although the two groups had similar levels of overall cognitive impairment and memory loss, researchers found that AD appeared to
tem — found that female teens may be particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of binge drinking upon cognitive functioning. Researchers recruited 95 participants from San Diego-area schools: 40 binge drinkers (27 males, 13 females) and 55 controls (31 males, 24 females) between 16 and 19 years of age. All completed neuropsychological testing and substanceuse interviews, and per-
formed a task during functional magnetic resonance imaging to test “spatial working memory.” Spatial working memory is the ability to perceive the locations of objects and then remember and work with this information. Female teenage heavy drinkers were found to have less activation in several brain areas than female non-drinking teens doing the same spatial task. Such
memory deficits could translate into impaired driving, reduced mathematical problem solving ability, or poor sports performance. Study results are posted online and will appear in the October issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.

The La Jolla Art and Wine Festival is proof that exciting things that can be done when a community comes together around a common goal. The third annual festival will be held Oct. 1-2 on upper Girard Avenue. For details, visit www. lajollaartandwinefestival.com. The LJAWF started with Sherry Ahern, the dynamo who founded the La Jolla Open Aire Market. Ahern, a lover of art and music, felt that the village of La Jolla needed to celebrate its artistic roots. Because she had a long record of fundraising success, she got the go-ahead from the La Jolla Elementary foundation board. Donna Scurio, president of the foundation, Friends of LJE, recalled that it was important to Ahern from the beginning that the festival should include the two other La Jolla public elementary schools, Torrey Pines and Bird Rock.
“We approached them and they were excited to be involved,” Scurio remembered. The three schools shared $60,000 in profit last year, and organizers hope to make even more this year. Andrea Dahlberg, a parent at Torrey Pines Elementary, has been involved in the festival from the start. “It helps the community but also helps the school,” said Dahlberg. “I enjoy meeting the other folks from the other schools and working together.” Kristy Johnson, a parent at Bird Rock who also serves on the festival’s executive committee, agrees. “It brings everybody together and it’s a fun event and we make a lot of money,” said Johnson. “It’s a brilliant idea. We should have more ideas like that.” Many community members have embraced the event. Brian Miller, owner of Geppetto’s Toy Stores, has been a major sponsor of the festival since its inception.

sponsoring the Geppetto’s Family Art Center, which will feature all kinds of fun activities for children to do. To Miller, the festival is a win-win for the business community. “It’s a great way to market your business to an affluent client base,” he said. “And every year, as it grows, it’s more money for our schools, which is so important. Raising money is critical for public education.” Sponsors, advertisers and volunteers are still needed. There are two advertising spots available in the festival program, which will be delivered to 100,000 residents in select San Diego neighborhoods.

signs would come down if merchants obeyed law I read the recent article about the illegal signs in La Jolla with great interest and a bit of disgust. The title was pessimistic to begin with: “Sign clutter not likely to disappear from landscape.” With that attitude, your prediction will likely hold true. What was not mentioned is that the majority of the businesses on Pearl Street have at least one code violation, either an A Frame sign, a
banner up more than 30 days, excessive signage, or unpermitted signage, including signs painted on the outside of windows. The issue is not the city’s financial crisis, in fact, part of our crisis is the fault of code enforcement. Long before the department was paired down, the majority of the enforcement officers failed to enforce the code making more allowances and excuses than issuing fines to the blatant violators. This lack of revenue not only added to their own demise but with little or no penalties there was
little deterrent. This is what led to the current state of clutter on Pearl and throughout too much of La Jolla. Merchants saw their competitors adding more signs and followed suit. We wouldn’t need enforcement if the owners just obeyed the laws. This exact issue was addressed more than 50 years ago by Dr. Seuss and it looks like we haven’t changed much. Chris Cott La JoLLa

Old lifeguard tower needs to go Freedom of speech in our civilized society comes with boundaries, responsibilities BY DAVID PIERCE Director, San Diego Council of Divers
Recently, lifeguards at Children’s Pool were forced to use a pressure washer to blast clean the bird guano that has built up over the years on top of the original condemned tower and wash and disinfect the temporary tower that is currently in use. Built in the ‘60s, it sits below the temporary tower erected to provide a lookout with a 270-degree view of La Jolla’s waters and coastline. This vital location has been in use by the San Diego lifeguards since 1926. The smell of the bird droppings has become unbearable and is a health issue as one lifeguard has come down with meningitis, and now a second lifeguard has been diagnosed with the disease.
Pannikin founder dies after motorcycle crash Robert “Bob” Sinclair, who founded Pannikin Coffee & Tea and Café Moto, died Aug. 6 following a motorcycle accident in New Mexico. He was injured on July 28, after losing control of his motorcycle and being thrown from the bike, according to VoiceofSanDiego.org. He also opened La Jolla’s Brockton Villa,

The city needs to demolish the old tower and facilities as soon as possible as it is infested with rats, pigeons and squirrels who have made the condemned tower and bathrooms their home. (The work also needs to be done) to prepare for the construction of the new station and tower to provide these brave men and women who risks their lives to save and protect the public — a clean and healthy safe environment that they deserve. The project manager for the construction of the new facility met with La Jolla Park and Beaches Committee at last July’s meeting to introduce the project and the time — line of construction. The contractor will be seeking to expedite the required permits to proceed as soon as possible and without delays as this would be a welcome decision for the lifeguards stationed at the pool. now owned by his daughter Megan Heine and her husband, as well as several other branches of the Pannikin. More recently he had been active in the downtown’s East Village community, where he had purchased real estate and helped found the East Village Association. His latest ventures were in New Mexico, where he owned a ranch and invested in historic properties in Taos, according to an article in the 2008 newsletter of the La Jolla Historical Society.
Registration is now open for Coastal Cleanup Day on Sept. 17. San Diego coordinators I Love a Clean San Diego and San Diego Coastkeeper expect about 10,000 volunteers for the 27th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day which covers than 85 inland and coastal cleanup sites, including La Jolla Shores.
Volunteers are asked to bring their own buckets, work gloves and reusable water bottles to help reduce the amount of trash created during the event. To register, go to www.cleanupday.org. The website includes an interactive Google Map with all cleanup sites in the region, including a handful of Green “in need” sites. A press release noted that “trends in the data show that volunteers recover more trash at select inland sites, thus increasing the need for volunteers there.”
FROM LIFEGUARDS, A4 nested in the condemned tower and its bathrooms, worsening the situation. “The lifeguard’s union wants to eradicate anything that might cause illness,” said Harris, noting pest control companies have also been consulted about eradicating troublesome pests. Harris said First District Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office has been pushing to have the condemned lifeguard tower dismantled earlier rather than later, but thus far has been unsuccessful. Ginsberg, the county health official, said meningitis is caused by many different agents, but is primarily transmitted person to person through intimate contact via exchange of bodily fluids. Ginsberg added, “We have to recognize they could have had proximity to other people who may have had exposure, and that could happen almost anywhere.”
Ginsberg said meningitis is one of more than 90 diseases that must be reported to county authorities. Reports come from medical professionals or laboratories. But typically, Ginsberg added, such reports only occur where there are “clusters,” excessively high numbers of cases in a prescribed area over a small amount of time. “We have not had a recent cluster of cases in any one area,” she said, adding 98 cases of viral meningitis were reported the first six months of this year throughout San Diego County. If a disease like meningitis is reported, Ginsberg said authorities would try to track its source if it’s an extreme case. She said affected individuals are interviewed to see who they’ve been in close contact with, and then those contacts are warned. In the case of clusters in a particular area, health authorities conduct an investigation to attempt to track down the source.
BY ISABELLE ROJAS San Diego resident In the unique country that America is, no freedom is more treasured than the right of free speech. Everyone can openly protest unfair practices and applaud victories. Who can oppose that right? However, that guarantee does not include the right to scream obscenities in public places, to shout demands at visitors to a public park or to throw rocks that strike others. These dangerous and unacceptable behaviors are observed daily where beachgoers at the Children’s Pool mix peacefully with harbor seals. No seals are being harmed by their human admirers, as noted by city council members at last year’s meeting. … The Children’s Pool was placed in an enduring trust setting aside this one small manmade beach for the use of children and public recreational purposes. Yet, in the name of free speech, seals-only extremists … in this formerly quiet residential area use an electronic bullhorn to
shout demands to “get away from the seals.” In the name of free speech, that group defies the city Municipal Code that requires “First Amendment Sellers” to purchase a permit to use public sidewalk space to distribute information and offer trinkets for sale by donation. Their constitutionally protected speech includes false statements that “no seals are on the beach because people scare them away” or signs implying the beach is closed. Be careful what you accept as truth. In fact, the warm summer weather causes seals to stay cool on the nearby rocks or in the water feeding on fish during the day. The seals return in the evening. The beach is open to the public year round despite the misinformation offered by the extremists. On July 4th at Children’s Pool, a 7-year old girl confronted an extremist shouting an obscenity at her mother and said, “Listen, lady, I’m a little kid. You shouldn’t use that kind of language in front of me.” Freedom of Speech does not include that right.

Torreys ready for Coastal move BY PHIL DAILEY phildailey@lajollalight.com La Jolla Country Day will take a big step up in competition this season as the Torreys move from the Pacific League to the Coastal League. Joining crosstown rival Bishop’s, along with Francis Parker, Horizon, Santa Fe Christian and Christian, longtime head coach Jeff Hutzler said his team is ready for the move. “The kids and families are excited for it,”

said Hutzler, now in his 10th season at LJCD. “Everyone here wants to step up and feel like we’re ready for it. Our big thing is that we got some really good ball players in this program, but any injury is going to kills us. We’re an injury away from disaster.” The Torreys played in the Coastal League last back in 2000. That season the team had to drop football mid-season because of the lack of players. From 2001 to 2004, Country Day played 8-man football with a ton of suc-

cess that included three CIF titles. In the Pacific League, the Torreys won four league titles and never finished worse than second in six seasons. “The expectation is that we’re gonna compete. We’re stepping up,” Hutzler said. “A lot of people consider the Coastal League to be the best small-school league in California and maybe one the best small-school leagues in the nation.” Bishop’s head coach Joel Allen thinks the Torreys will be competitive based on the way they played them the past few years. “They play us well every year,” Allen said.

“Physically they are there, mentally they have to get there.” There’s not much doubt that the Torreys have the players to make the leap. The team will be led on offense by a slew of juniors, including playmaker Sage Burmeister at running back and Eddie Garcia at quarterback to run the spread offense. One downside for the Torreys this season is the lack of depth, which could take its toll. “We have a lot of competing to do and our goal is to stay healthy and compete in this league,” Hutzler said, “which we know is going to take a lot of work.”

Expectations grow at LJHS Knights move forward By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com La Jolla High School’s season last year was one that produced several ups and downs. Not only was the team trying to implement a new offense, it also was faced with tragedy as assistant coach Luis Moya died just hours before the team’s game at Serra High. In what will be Rey Hernandez’s third season as the team’s head coach, he believes this season the team will take a big step forward now that the players have an understanding of the Wing-T offense. “Our expectations are that we’re gonna be a better ballclub,” he said. “There is no excuse for not being a better team this year. We had a year to run the offense — everybody should know what they’re doing.” It will help that the team will return Bobby Schuman at quarterback, a player Hernandez said is the fastest player on the field for them. The Vikings also have two solid running backs to lean on in senior Dillon Cromwell and junior Mark Pollin. Another key reason for the optimism is that this year’s team will have a lot more depth than in the past. Despite having only 12 seniors, Hernandez said there are more than 30 juniors who could make significant contributions to the team as well. “We’re a relatively young team, but it is an experienced team,” Hernandez said. “Offensively I think we have all the pieces to the puzzle.” One downside for the team was that they

unexpectedly lost three starters from defense last year. Two were from injuries in other sports and one was a transfer. If there is one message that is being talked about by Hernandez and his staff, it’s that this team must be more competitive than it was last year when the Vikings lost seven of their games by two or more touchdowns. “We do have a very competitive schedule, Hernandez said, “but that’s no excuse. If we can handle and be competitive with some of the teams on our nonleague schedule, there’s no reason that we can’t play with the teams in our league.”
By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com The 2010 state championship is in the rearview mirror for The Bishop’s School. So much so that head football coach Joel Allen has not even talked about the subject during the team’s practices this preseason. “It’s one of those things that you’ll never forget,” Allen said. “A lot of these kids were not even a part of it. Two thousand ten is over and if you look back at the books, they will tell you what happened.” But don’t expect the Knights to drop off from their winning ways with a core of seniors who should be able to continue to be successful for Allen. It all starts with senior Joey Moreno at quarterback, who is back for another season as the team’s signal-caller. “Anytime you get your quarterback back, there is a calmness that he brings,” Allen said. The team also boast a future Division I player in Dominique Love, who according to Scout.com, holds an offer to play cornerback at Colorado. Love will be joined by fellow seniors on defense in Cole Simons, Greg Chism and Mark Cedrick. For the most part, however, Allen thinks this team will have a different feel than last years with many juniors and sophomores stepping up to fill in at the skill positions that were vacated because of graduation.

“What will be different this year will be trying to figure out who the guys are gonna be that will end up being your playmakers,” Allen said. “What we are is just different. It may take us a couple weeks to figure out who is going to make the plays.” Though it may be hard to repeat the successes of last year’s magical state title run, the Knights will be one of the teams to beat in the Division V CIF playoffs come November. “If we stay healthy and continue like last year to get better each week, each day,” Allen said, “we will once again be a competitive team.”

Fernando Aguerre was born in the coastal city of Mar del Plata, Argentina. He was groomed by his father (an attorney and ranch owner) and Fernando Aguerre his mother (an attorney and psychologist) to become an entrepreneur and ocean-lover. He is proficient in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and has a basic knowledge of Italian and French. In 1969 at age 12, his brother Santiago introduced him to surfing, a passion that has since encompassed his life. His first business was a surfboard repair shop. But in 1977, the military dictatorship banned surfing in his hometown. Aguerre founded the Argentinean Surfing Association and organized a lobby for lifting the ban. He got the ban canceled a few months later and a surf boom followed. He also founded the first surf and skate magazine in Argentina, and opened Ala Moana, the first beach clothing store in Mar del Plata. In 1978, Aguerre entered law school while he continued to run the ASA and his surf shop. In 1984, he completed his degree, turned down offers from his father and friends to join their firms, resigned as president of the ASA, and left for California to join his brother. By early 1985, the Aguerre brothers were into something new: beach sandals. From its beginning as a two-man/one-desk operation selling 3,000 pairs, the brand “Reef” originated, eventually becoming the No. 1 sandal company, and one of the world’s leading surf labels. In 2005, the brothers sold Reef to VF, the world’s largest apparel company. In May 1994, Aguerre was elected president of the International Surfing Association. He led the ISA in obtaining recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 1997, and the increase in national federations. The ISA sanctions three annual events: the Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championships, Billabong ISA World Surfing Games, and ISA World Masters Surfing Championship. The ISA also directs development programs: Adaptive Surfing; Surf Scholarships; Coaching & Judging; and a Surf School Register.
Juried exhibit showcasing La Jolla ushers in a new era at Riford Library By Will BoWen n this era of library cutbacks and closures where hours are shortened and services curtailed, there is something quite the opposite going on at the La Jolla Riford Library. “It’s a movement!” said Sue Atwood, a member of the allvolunteer Friends of the Library. This “movement,” under the leadership of library director Catherine Greene and fueled by the Friends’ efforts, is attempting to inaugurate a new vibrancy, improve outreach, and stimulate greater interest and participation in all library activities. To further this end, the Friends set up a seven-member Art Committee headed by Arlene Powers, and they have come up with an ambitious plan. Their grand idea is to set up a professional level Library Art Gallery on par with other galleries in La Jolla. Granted, the Riford Library has been doing small monthly or semi-monthly art shows for a while, but these have been of uneven quality, according to observers. There was no real scrutiny — almost anyone could get a show if they submitted the right paperwork. Under the new plan, the Art Committee will bring “quality control” to the exhibits and bump things up a notch. “We want to put the La Jolla’s Riford Library on the map!” Powers said. And the committee is serious: It has already refurbished the community room (where the exhibits, movies and lectures take place) in preparation for the new gallery. The overall plan is to attract more visitors, because of the high quality art gallery, and

Now IN the verNacular flash mob: noun; a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral e-mails. The term, coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals. — wikipedia
The U.S. Post Office has no official motto. True. However, a number of postal buildings contain inscriptions. “Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” This inscription was supplied by William Mitchell Kendall of the architect firm that designed the New York General Post Office. Kendall said the sentence appears in the works of Herodotus and describes the expeditions of the Greeks against the Persians under Cyrus, about 500 B.C. The Persians operated a system of mounted postal couriers, and the sentence describes the fidelity with which their work was done. — U.S. Postal Service
fRom LIBRaRY, B1 thus contribute to the generation of more revenue, which will be used to improve library hours, services, and offerings. The library will receive a portion of the sales from every piece of art that finds a buyer. To kick things off, the Art Committee has set up a Juried Competition of the works of local artists called “Our Town,” after playwright Thornton Wilder’s masterpiece of the same name. The theme of the competition is La Jolla art by La Jolla artists. Powers said there were some 133 submissions to the show, and from these, about 33 were selected from 25 different artists. Most are paintings — colorful oil and watercolor renditions of landscapes, buildings, alleyways, surfers, the coast and cove.
Most are in the plein-aire, impressionist or realist style. There are a few abstract pieces in the show and a few photographs. The unique thing about the competition is that there will be no grading — no first or second place and —no honorable mentions. “Just being selected to be in the show is an honor in itself,” Powers said. Art Committee member Maura Walters, who’s been the assistant to the director of the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library for the past six years, said guests will see “some wonderful art in this show.” “I was pleasantly surprised,” Walters said. “I think that this will be a great opportunity to see how people perceive La Jolla. This show is a jewel. Expect to see the familiar and the surprising!”

Doctor to discuss youth sports injuries, burnout Parents, coaches and others interested in learning ways to improve the youth sports experience are invited to attend a free educational event from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 25 at the Schaetzel Center at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, 9888 Genesee Ave. The presentation will be led by Scripps sports medicine pediatrician Dr. Paul Stricker, who was a team physician for the 2000 Olympic Games. Stricker reports a steady increase in overuse injuries and stress-related symptoms
among his young patients in recent years. He advised that these conditions often stem from poor understanding of how children develop their sports skills. “Children build their athletic abilities in a progressive sequence that Dr. Paul we can’t draStricker matically speed up,” Stricker said. “Better knowledge of this process can help kids withstand some of the excess
pressures that exist in organized sports, due to inappropriate training, unrealistic expectations and a distorted meaning of the term ‘success.’ ” Stricker is the author of “Sports Success Rx! Your Child’s Prescription for the Best Experience,” published by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Copies of the book will be available for signing and purchase following the presentation. A light reception will be offered 5:30-6 p.m. Validated parking will be provided. To register, call 1 (800) SCRIPPS.

Using these recognizable stories is a great educational tool to teach about the beauty of ballet, as well as the incredible musical scores that have been created

UCSD Quidditch team picks up speed, winning players By Emily DERuy With the final “Harry Potter” movie in theaters, kids and adults alike have J.K. Rowling’s magical world on their minds. Students at UCSD, however, have taken their adoration of the literary series a bit further, bringing to life the magical sport of Quidditch. Friends Megan Alcalay and Hannah Green founded the Quidditch team, called Expecto Patritons, last year as sophomores, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. “Hannah and I thought so many schools across the U.S. have teams, UCSD needs a Quidditch team,” Alcalay said. “We made a Facebook group, generated interest, and had enough people for eight teams. About 60 people committed, but as many as 80 sometimes show up.” Currently classified as a “recreation-based student organization,” the Quidditch team is overseen by the university’s Recreation Department, which has permitted the club to use the fields at Muir College twice a week. The eight teams are restricted, however, to games with each other due to risk-management concerns. Additionally, as a club, the team is eligible for some Associated Student funding, just like any other student-run organization, but beyond that, team members rely on fundraising. “Quidditch is fairly new in our region,” said Liz Henry, director of Assistant Sports and Recreation Clubs. “Players might have more opportunity to compete in the future. The club does seem to spark a lot of at-

PHOTOS BY Drew ManDinacH tention. We’re always happy for students when they can use a campus space and do what they love.” In Rowling’s books, witches and wizards play Quidditch by flying above a field on broomsticks, gaining points in two ways. One, by throwing a ball called a quaffle through any one of three hoops at each end of the field for 10 points, and two, by catching a small, moving golden ball called a snitch for 150 points. A seeker has the task of finding the snitch, at which point the game is over. The snitch can fly outside the bounds of the field and be caught at any time, making each game unique in terms of playing time and space. Those attempting to score using a quaffle face goalkeepers at the hoops, and all players face beaters, who wield heavy bludgers, balls they sling at their opponents.

At UCSD and colleges nationwide, the rules have been adapted for Muggle (non-magic folks) play. Begun in 2005 at Middlebury College in Vermont with ever-changing guidelines, rules are now maintained by the International Quidditch Association, a New York nonprofit with nearly 100 registered teams and more than double that number of unofficial teams. Players run around a field on broomsticks, one hand on the broom at all times. If hit with a bludger, players dismount and run a lap around the field. Donning yellow with the snitch attached at the waist using a sock, the snitch runner is granted a 3- to 5-minute lead, which can be used to hide, but the snitch must present itself at the field periodically. “The playing field is like NINE-TEN soccer, LJ we use kickball balls as bludgers, we

have a few track stars and triathletes that run snitch. It’s a neat sport because it draws a diverse group of people,” Alcalay said. “We have triathletes and rugby players, but also have people who just like Harry Potter.” Alcalay has some changes in mind (more team bonding, more community service) but whatever the team did in its fledgling year is working. In April, a group unaffiliated with UCSD but all students there, placed third overall and 26th in the nation at the Western Quidditch Cup in Los Angeles. Mostly, the students just enjoy playing the game. “Quidditch is different from other sports,” said Nicholas Johnsen, a captain of one of UCSD’s teams. “The objective is to enjoy being a part Olive of a fantastical enLight Oil Dinner game 081811 that and 082511.pdf gages players in a fantastical culture.”

SummerFest will draw to a close with two noteworthy concerts By Will BoWen The final week of La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest 2011, is about upon us, though there are still a few opportunities to listen to some outstanding classical music and see some of the world’s greatest performers. Two concerts look particularly promising. The worldrenowned Tokyo String Quartet will take the stage at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21 in Sherwood Auditorium at MCASD, 700 Prospect St., and the closing “SummerFest Finale” concert unfolds at 7:30 p.m. Friday Aug. 26 on the same stage. As a prelude, the Old City String Quartet will play Brahms’ String Quartet No.3 in B-flat Major, Op. 67 at 2 p.m. This quartet, founded in 2008 at the Curtis Institute of Music, is composed of young musicians said to be musically mature far beyond their years. Following the Old City String Quartet, the concert proper begins with Shostakovich’s Two Pieces for String Octet, Op.11, written sometime before 1925 while Shostakovich was studying at the Leningrad Conservatory of Music. Since an octet requires eight musicians, Tokyo String Quartet will be joined by the Eclat Quartet, which is comprised of four doctoral students from Rice University. Next on the program is a new work by Cynthia Lee Wong, titled “Piano Quartet.” For this piece, Martin Beaver (violin) and Kazuhide Isomura (viola) of Tokyo String Quartet will join forces with Joyce Yang (piano) and Felix Fan (cello). Wong earned an MFA from Julliard and is pursuing her Ph.D. at City University of New York. Her music has been described as a “shamelessly beautiful mixture of classical and avant-garde.” Tokyo String Quartet will round out the afternoon by performing Haydn’s String
The Tokyo String Quartet includes Kikuei ilkeda, Kazuhide isomura, Martin Beaver and Clive Greensmith. Henry J. Fair

Tokyo String Quartet was founded 42 years ago at The Julliard School of Music by violinist Kikuei Ikeda and Kazuhide Isomura. Also in the group are Martin Beaver, the newest addition, and Clive Greensmith, who plays cello. LJMS CEO Christopher Beach has high praise for their talents. “They are among the small handful of the greatest quartets in the world,” he said. Some people think they are the greatest. All mem-
bers play Stradivarius instruments once owned as a set by Niccolo Paganini in the 1800s. These instruments are on loan to the group from the Nippon Music Foundation. Stradivarius, at the top when it comes to classical instruments, is more than worth the price of admission just to hear how beautiful they sound. “SummerFest Finale” closes the festival, and Beach promises it will be “a rousing, uplifting, and joyous musical program.” Music director Cho-Liang Lin predicted the evening will be “fun, fabulous, and fantastic!” The performance starts at 6:30 p.m. with a prelude by the Eclat Quartet playing Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. with French composer Camille Saint–Saens’ Fantaisie in A Major for Violin and Harp, Op.124, which will feature Cho-Liang Lin on violin and Deborah Hoffman on harp. The next piece will be an Mendelssohn’s String Octet in E-flat Major, Op.20 featuring Tokyo String Quartet assisted by Brian Lee and Joel Link on violins, Cynthia Phelps on viola, and Camden Shaw on cello. The last work of the evening will be Romanian composer Enescu’s String Octet in C Major, Op.7.

FROM 10 questiOns, B1 He serves on the senior advisory board of the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association (SIMA) and is president of the SIMA Humanitarian Fund. What brought you to La Jolla? I first visited for two days in 1980. I loved it. My brother moved to La Jolla in 1981. I visited him in 1982. Moved from Argentina in 1984. I wanted to spend time with my best friend and brother Santiago, but I also loved the nice weather, relaxedyet-sophisticated social/ cultural environment, and last but not least, the great waves 365 days a year. It became the perfect place to start our surf business (Reef) and start a family, now 14-year-old triplets. What makes this area special to you? The people are great, there’s easy access to international flights, and it’s very close to the heart of the global surfing community. There are very, very few places in the world that offer the diversity of geography, climate and people in one county. As a resident of La Jolla, you can literally have it all. My girlfriend Florencia, also from Argentina, loves La
Jolla as well, and has started her own business in town: Greenpacha Hats. How would you improve La Jolla? I would add easier parking near the cove. I would bring back to value the two abandoned and very cool wooden houses by the Cove Park. I would make tree plating in the front of every property mandatory, especially in the downtown area. We need more trees on the streets. They are great during the sunny hours. Who inspires you? People who do the right thing, even when nobody is looking, and people who are willing to listen to the things they disagree the most with because those are probably the things we need to listen the most to ... My grandma gave me two phrases many years ago: “Giving is better than receiving,” and, “Fer, bring me flowers now while I’m alive, I won’t be able to smell them when I’m dead.” If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, John Lennon, Marilyn Monroe, Lady Gaga, Martin Luther King, Jackie Kennedy and Che. Plus me, a perfect round table. It will be
Malbec (from Argentina) fruits and good cheeses. By the way, for more than four people, round tables should be mandatory, everywhere. What are your favorite movies? “Dersu Uzala” (from Akira Kurosawa), “Gladiator,” “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Casablanca.” What is your mostprized possession? Health. It is the only real wealth. All possessions pale when compared with health. Absolutely no doubt about it. What do you do for fun? Surf, yoga, and travel. I also continue my education about everything I love, including history and how to make this a better world. Describe your greatest accomplishment. Other people can talk about it. That’s what Google is good for. There is no way to hide the good or bad from Google. What is your philosophy of life? I try to treat other people like I like to be treated. We all need love. We all need a hug. So I give as much love as I can, and I give as many hugs as I can. The world needs more hugs, more open doors.

Bully’s old-school vibes keep this venerable pub packed By Kelley Carlson f you’re a horseracing fan, odds are that you may enjoy a visit to Bully’s, a steakhouse in the heart of Del Mar. First opened in La Jolla by racing enthusiasts George Bullington — whom the restaurant is named for — and Lester Holt in 1967, a second location was set up a couple of miles from the racetrack two years later. After more than 40 years, little has changed at Bully’s, according to manager Sharon Delmonico. While the La Jolla site has since closed, the Del Mar branch still has the same thoroughbredthemed decor and is run by Holt’s daughter and son-in-law, Beverly and Charlie Becker. “People like coming in and seeing the old-school vibe,” said Nora Nido, office manager. The entrance is through a large wooden door with a carved image of a racehorse, shaded by a black awning with the restaurant’s name and white thoroughbreds galloping along the bottom. The inside is dimly lit; the tables and bar stools closest to the entrance reflect patches of multicolored light filtering in through stained glass. Off to the right is the bar, where patrons perch on stools or sit in one of a handful of red leather booths. Four TVs are tuned in to sporting events and TVG, the Television Games Network, which telecasts horse races from around the country. Paintings and photos hang high — among them is an autographed photo of Kentucky Derby winner Real Quiet, and a collage of famous racers that includes Man O’ War and Secretariat. The Kentucky Derby silks of the horse Don B. — who finished sixth in the 1968 edition of the race and was trained by Holt — are framed behind the bar. Circle around to the other side of the room, which is divided by additional booths and images of

racehorses in etched glass, to the main dining area. There are pictures of the city of Del Mar in its early days and more racetrack images, including an autographed picture of jockey Bill Shoemaker’s 7,000th victory aboard Royal Derby. The covered patio (with screened windows offering ocean views) is open for lunch and reserved parties of up to 30 people. Plants flourish in the corners and along the wood-paneled walls; there are fans and heat lamps to keep the temperature comfortable. Tiny white lights are strung along the ceiling; two more TVs provide sports entertainment. According to Delmonico, Bully’s dining and bar areas tend to be busiest after 6:30 p.m., especially during the San Diego County Fair and racing season — something to keep in mind, as seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. There’s a busy late night bar crowd, as well. A doorman checks IDs after 9 p.m. Fridays and
Saturdays, and a variety of music plays after 11 p.m. “At night, (Bully’s) definitely has an upbeat, neighborhoodfriendly vibe,” Nido said. The establishment has its regular customers, of all ages. Delmonico suggests that patrons change up their food orders when they come in, and offers ideas for new visitors. For breakfast, she recommends Prime Rib and Eggs; for lunch, try the French Dip. In the evening, order the Bully’s Prime Rib or a steak, or a baked potato with the works. Delmonico’s favorite is the Bully’s “Rib Chop,” a 16-ounce dry aged, bone-in ribeye. Soups are made fresh daily, and there are also chicken and seafood entrees and salads. Desserts include Ice Cream Pie and New York Cheesecake. The Bully’s kids’ menu, which can also be used for coloring, features grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken fingers and burgers, among other items. A variety of beverages are offered at the restaurant — everything from beer and Champagne, to Bloody Marys and margaritas. Specials are offered on some drinks during Sunday Fundays, from 10 a.m. to close, and during happy hour. And Bully’s is the original home of the Keoke Coffee, which was created by and named after Bullington, Keoke being the Hawaiian translation of George. “We’re like a landmark for Del Mar and the racetrack,” Delmonico said.

Globe tips its hat to Audrey Geisel La Jolla philanthropist Audrey Geisel was honored for her contributions to the Old Globe Theatre at its annual gala on July 30 in Balboa Park. The black-tie event included a performance of Hershey Felder’s “Maestro: The Art of Leonard Bernstein.” Guests walked out of the theater to a plaza decorated in a sea of blues, with sparkling chandeliers, a spotlight on the majestic California Tower, and silver and
white centerpieces surrounded by jewels and votive candles on each table. Props and costumes from past Globe productions lined the plaza, adding to its charm. Chef Steve Black and the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina catered dinner. Audrey Geisel’s favorite song,”You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To,” was played as she took the dance floor. The music of Impulse carried the night away.

Erin Gruwell, teacher and founder of the Freedom Writers Foundation, will be the guest of honor at the opening of the 22nd annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival season kick-off event, “The Power of Hope,” 6:15 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 21, in the Garfield Theatre at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive. The event will begin with an underwriter reception, folErin lowed at Gruwell 7:15 p.m. by a screening of “Stories From an Undeclared War,” and a discussion with Gruwell. “Stories From an Undeclared War,” recounts the journey of 150 at-risk youth from Long Beach who, in the mid-1990s, inspired by their teacher, Gruwell, and the “Diary of Anne Frank,” learned to rise above their circumstances by writing their own stories.

If you go ■ What: Kick-off of 22nd annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival ■ When: Aug. 21 ■ • 6:15 p.m. Underwriter Reception ■ • 7:15 p.m. ‘Stories From an Undeclared War’ film screening ■ Where: Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive, La Jolla ■ Contact: (858) 362-1330 ■ Website: sdcjc.org Told in cinema-vérité, via the voices of the students themselves, the documentary also explores their lives beyond the classroom. Gruwell’s impact as a change agent inspired the Paramount Pictures film “Freedom Writers,” starring Hilary Swank. The film is based on “The Freedom Writers Diary,” the New York Times bestseller that chronicled Gruwell’s
extraordinary journey with the high school students who had been written-off by the education system. With her support, Gruwell’s students chose to forego teenage pregnancy, drugs, and violence to become aspiring college students, published writers, and citizens for change. They called themselves the “Freedom Writers” in homage to civil rights activists, “The Freedom Riders,” and published a book. In 2007, “Teach With Your Heart,” Gruwell’s memoir and call to arms was published. Gruwell founded the Freedom Writers Foundation where she instructs teachers around the country how to implement her innovative lesson plans into their own classrooms. Now, the documentary “Stories From an Undeclared War,” captures the odyssey of the students and follows them into the lives they are leading today.

By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt After over a decade as a still-life photographer, digital artist Maggie Taylor started using a flatbed scanner to bring the haunting, dreamlike images in her head to life. For all her 21st century skills, her favorite century is the 19th, perhaps not so surprising for someone who received a B.A. in philosophy from Yale. And her masterwork, “Almost Alice,” a series of images she created to accompany the text of Lewis Carroll’s Victorian classic “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” is now on exhibit at Carlsbad’s Cannon Gallery, part of a national tour. The Alice project was a threeyear adventure for Taylor, from 2005-2008. She began in her usual way, by collecting antique photographs and other paraphernalia from thrift shops, scanning them, combining found images with her own, and layering and manipulating them with the help of Adobe Photoshop. Alice shows up as a different Victorian girl in each piece, and the process is long and meticulous, with Taylor often using up to 60 layers of scanned tintypes, small toys and figurines to create a single image. Last spring, Joseph Bellows Gallery showed selections from Al-

But this is the first time all 45 of them will be on display in our area, and truly, it’s a wonderland for viewers of all ages.

How to foil a bully is VACHI Club message By Liz Schneider In the wake of several tragedies involving teen bullying and harassment, the topics have become the subject of much media and public attention. For La Jolla High School senior Megan Micheletti, however, the issues are more personal. “I saw someone I loved being bullied, and I knew I had to do something to make it stop,” she said. “I couldn’t just stand by and watch and let it happen.” So at the beginning of last school year, Micheletti founded the VACHI (Voices against Cruelty, Hatred and Intolerance) Club at LJHS. The club, which organized several anti-bullying events during the school year, spent an afternoon hosting
VAchi founder Megan Micheletti (center) encourages students to turn on their mental ‘light bulb’ before they say cruel things to others. Liz Schneider an outreach event for elementary school students. The hour-long presentation at the Riford Library, featured strategies for teaching children about what bullying is and how to deal with it. The workshop centered around a single concept, which was printed on a huge sign: “If it’s not kind, don’t say it. Think
before you speak.” While the message is obvious, Micheletti says it is more of an issue for young students than many people realize. “Seventy-four percent of 8- to 11-year-olds say that teasing is happening at their school,” she said. “That’s a significant number. I thought, why not

target the youth and try to get the message out early.” Micheletti said addressing the issue at this age is important because middle school is the most common time for children to have experiences with bullying. By learning about its many forms — from physical abuse to social exclusion to cyber-bullying — students can enter middle school aware of the issues and ready to address them. “If you stop it young, they’re hopefully not going to have these problems when they’re older,” said Aubrey Sloan, club co-founder. Through a series of books and role-playing activities, the VACHI presenters taught students about why bullies are so mean (because they are sad inside) and how to respond to them (by talking to an adult and by telling the bully how you feel). Audience members then took turns describing their experiences with bullying, and how they would change their behavior in retrospect. After the event, students were given a certificate of completion to document how much they had learned. Although it was the club’s first outreach event, members hope to spread their message to all students through partnerships with the area’s elementary and middle schools. VACHI is considering starting a chapter of the club at Muirlands. “Our goal is to stop hatred at our school,” said Sloan. “One of the big things I’ve been working on recently is stopping the use of the words ‘gay’ and ‘retarded’.” These goals are advanced through a variety of clubsponsored events aimed to make the campus a more tolerant, open place. One such event was Mix It Up Day that encouraged students to cross social boundaries by sitting with another group at lunch or interacting with people one normally wouldn’t. The club also began a No Name Calling Week, in which more than 100 students pledged to stop calling their peers cruel names. And while these activities are important, Micheletti said the club serves another function that is subtler, but equally important. The club aims to reach out to victims of bullying and make sure they know they’re not alone — a crucial and potentially even life-saving message.
