By Pat Sherman What appeared to be the vivisected body of a brown and black cat was discovered on a residential lawn in the 7300 block of Fay Avenue July 25, in the vicinity of the Gillispie School. Matt Doyle said his wife discovered the feline while walking to her car. “It looked like the cat had just been
cut in half,” he said. “It didn’t look like there had been any kind of struggle, just two halves of a cat thrown in our yard. “My wife was pretty spooked by it,” Doyle added. “It’s quite a shocking way to start the day.”

Residents give city a failing ‘grade’ in Archer Street rebuild By Pat Sherman Residents in the 700 block of Archer Street (behind Bird Rock Elementary School) say city officials are allowing a neighbor to rebuild a home on their street in excess of height and size limits for its lot size. Chief among their concerns is the architect’s use of a manufactured grade to exempt 500 square feet of the home’s ground level from being counted as part of the structure’s gross floor area, thus allowing it to exceed size and height limits. Steve Sillman, who lives directly to the east of the construction site, said the halfcompleted home has robbed him and his family of coastal views and ocean breezes — all due to what he believes is a questionable interpretation of the city’s municipal code.

“They blocked all our views from our bedroom, from our bathroom and our forward bedroom,” Sillman said. “We purchased our house in 2006 and, obviously, it’s already gone down (in value) because of the recession. We’re fine with that; we made that decision. But now we’ve got a house next door that’s depreciated our house even more and basically circumvented the code to do it.” The portion of the municipal code under scrutiny, 113.0234(b)(3), states: “Where the gradient along any edge of the at-grade space is greater than 25 percent, the unenclosed at-grade space shall not be counted as gross floor area.” Steve Sillman stands on the deck of his rear guesthouse on According to Sillman and others, this Archer Street, with his neighbors’ ongoing development in See House, A13 the background.

Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography have determined that the bright green color is caused by a bloom of phytoplankton, Tetraselmis spp. This green flagellate is roughly 10 micrometers in size, and has been found in concentrations as dense as 15 million cells per liter of seawater. On July 23, green particulate matter (Tetraselmis sp.) was found floating in the water in La Jolla. The foam grew more prevalent last week, though it has been observed off and on since the first week of July. It’s patchy distribution makes it visible only at some beaches, though it becomes more apparent in the afternoon
when the wind and waves mix the surface waters. Tetraselmis has bloomed each summer since 2009, with blooms lasting from one week to several months. There are no documented health hazards with swimming or fishing in areas of Tetraselmis blooms. Whereas the bloom looks rather ominous, it is harmless in nature. Conditions that may contribute to a bloom such as this would be temperature, surf conditions, or light. Which are the contributing factors exactly, and why? It is a question researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography are working to discover. For more information, visit sccoos.org/data/habs

From Seagull, A1 escaped the wreath and was killed in traffic while another one disappeared, and the remaining bird had injured its wing, Katz said. So she relocated the wreath to a grassy knoll on her deck, and fed the lone baby sea bird soft bread and water for nearly a week until she found Project Wildlife, a local rescue service that partners with Wildlife Assist, a San Diego-based agency that routes volunteers to pick up and transport animals for treatment. “When I first arrived, I had my cage and my net and I saw the way the apartment was situated two to three stories above the road,” said Eleni Kounnas, volunteer for the organization. She said the bird still had brown feathers, which indicated it was a juvenile that still couldn’t fly, but was at the age of testing its wings. “I knew when I got there I couldn’t immediately pursue him or he would have run away off the deck and onto the road,” Kounnas said. “I realized the seagull had an injured wing, so I captured it with ease and put it in my car.” When a phone call is made to the Project Wildlife hotline regarding an endangered wild animal, Meryl Faulkner is one of about a dozen countywide volunteers who take in animals to rehabilitate. Faulkner’s specialty is treating birds, and since retiring in 2000 from her job as a lab technician, she said she averages an intake of about 500 birds annually. Only 30 percent survive, she said. “The bird Eleni brought to me is fine,” Faulkner said. “When he’s large enough to not get picked on, I’ll put him in with the bigger ones.” She said it might take about 2 months before the junior seagull is released, and added that the goal for all the birds received is to let them go in the same area where they were rescued. Faulkner said anyone who finds a displaced nest or chicks, should try and put the bird (or nest) back where it came from, or at

least somewhere nearby if it’s not in an area near traffic. She said that birds have no sense of smell and will not reject a chick that has been handled by humans. Typically, seagull parents will not leave their nest for a fallen chick. Katz hopes her experience can help other La Jollans who may encounter a similar situation, by spreading awareness of Project Wildlife and Wildlife Assist.
Correction In the July 26 article ‘Committee says no to developer … Bird Rock,’ it was incorrectly reported that Mike Costello said this latest project was from a different developer; it should have read that he said the latest project was designed by a different architect. The article also stated he said the current
Sculptra EvEnt
proposal “questions overall function,” and the use of the alleyway to enter the parking garage. He actually did not question the function of the alleyway, but said the problem is the proposed tandem parking spaces, not access to the spaces through the alleyway.

TAKING STEPS AGAINST OSTEOPOROSIS Women concerned about osteoporosis can take steps – literally – to protect themselves from bone fractures and potentially extend their lives. Research from the Oulu Deaconess Institute in Finland indicates that regular exercise can help older women with thinning bones to improve their balance & walking speed and decrease their risk of fractures.The researchers found that just 20 minutes of athome daily exercise (interspersed with six months per year of supervised weekly training) helped increase gait stability and cut the risk of fracture by 32% over the course of the 5 year study. Exercise can also help seniors to avert declines in strength and stability that could impair their ability to perform the common tasks of daily living. In order to avoid injury, osteoporosis sufferers should consult a physical therapist to learn proper technique before starting an exercise program. At Ability Rehab, we have extensive experience working with osteoporosis. We will develop a custom-tailored plan that involves weight-bearing exercises, such as walking, and strengthening exercises, such as weight lifting. In addition, we will utilize balance exercises to improve proprioception, reaction times and stability. P.S. Call to set up a FREE 15 MINUTE SCREENING with one of our therapists!!

Unique deep-sea environment discovered near San Diego
Research Report By Lynne Friedmann
D
uring a recent ocean expedition, graduate student researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego discovered evidence of a deep-sea site where methane is likely seeping out of the seafloor, the first such finding off San Diego County. Such “methane seeps” possess extraordinary chemical properties — and often bizarre marine creatures — making them “hot spots” of life on an otherwise barren seafloor. Methane, a clear, highly combustible gas, exists in the Earth’s crust under the seafloor along many of the world’s continental margins. The area of interest, roughly 20 miles west of Del Mar, is centered on the San Diego Trough Fault zone. A distinct mound on the seafloor at 1,036 meters depth (3,400 feet), spanning the size of a city block and rising to the height of a two-story building, was surveyed. Deployed instruments collected sediment cores and organisms from the site such as thread-like tubeworms that lack a mouth and digestive system and gain nutrition via a symbiotic relationship with bacteria living inside them. Along the West Coast, methane seeps are known to exist off Oregon, California (near Eureka, Monterey Bay, Point Conception and Santa Monica), in the Gulf of California, and off Costa Rica. — More information at http://bit.ly/MQnQH9 Predicting cancer progression Using a new method to study tumor cells, UC San Diego School of Medicine and UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center researchers are able to distinguish features of leukemia cells that indicate whether the disease will be aggressive or slow-moving; a key factor in deciding how and when to treat patients.
The research focused on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Progression of the disease is highly variable with some patients remaining symptom-free for years while in other patients CLL is more aggressive and demands drug intervention soon after diagnosis. Existing CLL blood markers, however, cannot reliably determine whether a patient will need therapy sooner or later. In the new study, researchers found that prior to requiring therapy, the patterns of genes expressed by CLL cells appear to converge, regardless of whether or not the patient had aggressive versus less-aggressive disease at diagnosis. This led to the identification of 38 subnetworks of interacting genes and proteins that offer greater predictive value because they are based not on the activity of individual genes or proteins, but on how they dynamically interact and change over time, influencing the cancer’s course and patient symptoms. — The findings appear in the journal Blood. News release at http://bit.ly/PS8dSk Good news on emergency, in-the-field electrocardiograms A study by UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers along with colleagues from Rural/Metro Ambulance San Diego and the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, has shown that an electrocardiogram (ECG) obtained in the field of patients with chest pain does not increase on-scene or transport time. Pre-hospital ECGs help quickly diagnosis a heart attack and enables faster delivery of optimal medical therapy through preferential routing of patients to hospitals able to provide an angioplasty (balloon catheter to open blocked artery with stent placement to improve heart blood flow). The increased efficiency of rapid patient assessment and diagnosis offers a clear benefit for heart-attack patients. The study analyzed five years of data on nearly 22,000 individuals complaining of chest pain and evaluated by San Diego City paramedics. — Findings appear in the Journal of American College of Cardiology.

FROM COYOTE, A1 Dan DeSousa, a deputy director with the San Diego County Department of Animal Services, said his agency’s veterinarian confirmed that the cat appeared to be the victim of a coyote attack. “We put the top half and the bottom half together and can actually see teeth marks on the bones,” he said. “It’s unfortunate.” DeSousa said cat killings, tortures and catnappings are rare. In most cases, he said, the culprit turns out to be a coyote. “I’ve seen coyotes walk out of downtown San Diego,” he said. “San Diego’s got little fingers of canyons throughout our communities and that’s what they use to get back and forth. Coyotes are a very adaptable species.” A police officer responding to the incident said he recently spotted coyotes on Nautilus Street. Dolye said he kept his own cat indoors temporarily, after reading about a rash of missing black cats in the La Jolla Light last month, though he said his feline will now remain indoors permanently.

Another man, who identified himself as Kevin, put up posters on Pearl Street last week, offering anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 for the safe return of Ivy, his 16-pound, male Savannah cat, which went missing near the intersection of Pearl and Fay Avenue in mid-July. Kevin said he and his cat were visiting from Chicago when the feline slipped outside in the middle of the night. He is aware of the Fay Avenue attack and confirmed that it was not his animal. “I just really want him back,” the man said. “I’m still out here, hoping for the best.” Three black and white cats belonging to La Jollans residing within a two-block radius in La Jolla’s Beach Barber Tract neighborhood also went missing in May. DeSousa advises cat owners to keep their pets indoors. “There are coyotes everywhere,” he said,
noting that they are a very opportunistic species. “They’ve learned that it’s easier to catch cats and eat cat food or dog food left out overnight than to hunt for their natural prey, such as rabbits and rodents. They’re going to go wherever the food source is easiest. They’ll go into a trash can before they’ll hunt something down.” DeSousa said that after such attacks, community members oftentimes ask animal control to track and kill a coyote, though he said that wouldn’t solve the problem. Instead, people should make sure they are not leaving potential food sources out for coyotes — including their cats and small dogs. “Coyotes are territorial,” he said. “Another one will simply move in. They’ve been here a lot longer than we have. We need to learn how to coexist.” County animal control posts photos and descriptions of all the animals in its possession. To check the website, visit sddac. com. The San Diego County Human Society and SPCA also publish photo-descriptions of its animals. The website is sdhumane.org

Bird Rock will host family festival on Aug. 11 By Pat Sherman Bird Rock’s summertime fair will get a dose of street cred this year, as the event moves from the park adjacent Bird Rock Elementary School to three blocks of La Jolla Boulevard, from Midway Street to Camino de la Costa. Birdstock: Takin’ It to the Streets, noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, will feature food vendors, live music, art exhibits, restaurant and merchant specials and an array of children’s activities, from bounce houses to face painters and balloon artists. The event is free, though donations are welcome. Children may participate in all amusements with the purchase of a wristband, available for $10 prior to Aug. 11 at La Jolla Mailbox Rental and Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, or for $15 the day of the event. Proceeds from wristband sales benefit Bird Rock Elementary School. Co-chair Felicia Parker said last year’s event drew 500 to 600 attendees, which Bird Rock Community Council organizers are hoping to increase this year through greater visibility on the boulevard. The first Birdstock was held Sept. 11, 2010, replacing the former Taste of Bird Rock along La Jolla Boulevard. “We’re trying to revitalize it more as a street fair — especially now that we have some more landscaping and new median lights. It’s a great time to bring an event back (to the boulevard),” she said. Bird Rock Surf shop will offer surf-inspired activities, food and raffles in front of its store, while the newly expanded All About Animals

Spotlight on Local Businesses Bowers Jewelers covers all the bases since 1946 By Marti Gacioch Personalized service remains the hallmark of Bowers Jewelers, a La Jolla landmark since 1946. Whether it’s an elderly resident stopping by to replace a watch battery, or a Hollywood celeb seeking after-hours repair of a treasured music box, Bowers provides genuine service with a smile. According to Larry Combe, who co-owns the shop with his wife, Sheila, the store hasn’t changed much since they bought the business on Girard Avenue from Ron and Marg Bowers in 1981 — and they like it that way. “I like to think of us as being in that old tradition of Jessops and Geary’s of having a broad base,” Combe said. “We have $50 wedding gifts, as well as a $50,000 diamond necklace that we can sell you — we like to cover all the bases.” And they do. Bowers carries a diverse collection of jewelry and decorative arts, silver hollowware, crystal, and everything from carvedwooden Buddhas to grandfather clocks and four-foot-tall vases. While Bowers has been in business for decades and the store’s style has a period feel to it, it’s a misperception that the Combes deal in
only vintage pieces. With the exception of a case of consignment jewelry and 300 restored silver Victorian pieces, the merchandise is new. “Our period feel is not from reproductions of older things, but some of my English companies have been in continuous production of the same things for 150 years,” Combe said. “We carry English handcrafted engraved silver pillboxes and silver candlesticks and bowls still being made since Victorian times.” In addition to substantial diamond pieces with ample wow! power, Bower’s current one-of-akind pieces include a 2,000-yearold bronze piece fashioned from part of a Roman pier, and a pendant made of fossilized coral resembling a fuzzy branch. “We have a distinct advantage by being a single store: We can buy unique pieces from individual artisans and small studios, unlike the chain operations that buy from mass production. Our niche is that we try to offer unique things,” Combe said. — Bowers Jewelers, 7860 Girard Ave., is open 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday. (858) 459-3678. Bowers Jewelers, a La Jolla landmark since 1946, is located at 7860 Girard Ave.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - august 2, 2012 - Page A13
From House, A1 exemption is primarily intended for hillside properties where homes must be constructed on raised foundations or piers, due to a sloping grade that renders all or portions of the ground level unusable as living space. A legal declaration dated May 17 by the project’s architect, Bird Rock resident Daniel Linn, said the property owners, Tracy and Emilio De Soto, have a young boy and another child on the way, and asked Linn to design this space as a covered play area for their children. “I referenced a code section that provides a means to do this by designing an unenclosed area within the structural footprint that would have a sloping edge of greater than 25 percent,” Linn wrote in the declaration. “I have used this provision to design such areas a number of times in the past with successful outcomes. ... I have never had a plan utilizing this outdoor space disproved by the city.” Emilio De Soto said the ground-level covered patio space in question, which contains canned lighting in the ceiling, is designed as an outdoor play and learning area for his children to “ride tricycles, push trucks and do crafts outside.” After city inspectors first responded to neighbors’ concerns, Linn received a Stop Work Order (SWO) from the city on May 5. Nine days later, the city asked Linn if he would consider deleting the third floor from the home. The De Sotos then took the city to court. Scott Rugg, who lives a few doors to the east of the contested development, said he and other neighbors were in court with the De Sotos. “The city was aggressively arguing that this part of the (municipal) code was for homes on steep hillsides, and that manufactured grades didn’t count,” Rugg said. “We were all happy. Then, the city basically stopped talking to anybody around here” and reversed its decision. According to Gina Coburn, communica-
Front view of the three-story house under construction at 729 Archer St. PAT SHERMAN tions director for the San Diego City Attorney’s office, the De Sotos sought a preliminary injunction asking the court to prevent the city from enforcing the SWO issued by the Development Services department, on grounds that the architect’s first attempt at a faux grade — a zigzag shaped retaining wall — complied with municipal code section 113.0234(b)(3). Coburn said the court ruled the zigzag “grade” did not comply with the municipal code and denied the owners’ request for preliminary injunction. The owners then submitted a redesigned grade to Development Services, which Development Services staff deemed compliant with the municipal code, and the city lifted the SWO. The De Sotos next filed a dismissal without prejudice, which is being processed by the court, Coburn said. (A dismissal without prejudice means the present action is dismissed, but it is possible the plaintiff may file another suit on the same claim.) What is leaving Archer Street residents scratching their heads is why the city determined that the architect’s first manufactured grade — the zigzagging wall — was noncom-
pliant with city code, but his second attempt at a faux grade, essentially a dirt pile with a slope of greater than 25 percent, does comply. Despite repeated queries from the La Jolla Light, as well as Sillman and Rugg, it’s a question the city is unwilling to answer. However, speaking with the Light last month, architect Daniel Linn said the municipal code section in question does not explicitly state that the 25 percent grade need be an existing grade, and that manufactured grades also apply. Linn said the preamble to the municipal code includes clear definitions for and distinctions between “proposed grade” and “existing grade.” Because the section of code Linn is referencing does not refer to the grade as either “existing” or “proposed,” Linn said manufactured grades are permissible to exclude portions of a structure from the gross floor area tally. “ ‘Grade’ means it can be wherever the dirt ends up; you can maneuver it or lower it or raise it and that will be considered grade, compared to the concept of ‘existing grade,’ ” which is determined by a land survey, Linn said. “I’ve been doing this in San Diego since
1986,” Linn added, noting what he considers a “drastic” rewrite of the municipal code in 2000. “I pretty much know the ins and the outs of it. Manipulated is not necessarily a bad word, but it’s become pejorative based on what they think the results are.” Linn said he knows of two other architects working along the coast who also frequently use this interpretation of the municipal code to exempt space from a home and build larger or higher than would otherwise be permitted. Rugg cited a section of the municipal code that says a home’s third story may only be 70 percent of the lot’s width, though he said he calculated the De Soto’s third story to be 76 percent of the lot’s width. Linn said he conducted a “very detailed analysis of this” in conjunction with middle management in Development Services, as well as the department director, Kelly Broughton. “They even called one of the people involved in writing (the code) back in 2000 and ran my intentions by this person, and he said it was just fine,” Linn said. Sillman said he is still awaiting reply or redress, and will likely file suit against the city in the future.

an you help? $70,000 is now needed to finish the remodeling of the La Jolla Community Center. If you would like to be a part of completing the capital improvements, please contact us this week. All donations are taxdeductible. The time is now, because there is a “critical path” in our construction that dictates when the needed improvements must be made — or it is more expensive to add them later. We are ready to complete the remodeling this month. La Jolla philanthropist Florence Riford gave this building to the city. It is an older building needing upgrades. Several years ago, the city helped our all-volunteer board of directors obtain a $207,000 grant from the federal government (HUD) to make the building accessible for our disabled members and the public. The design that was funded was for an entrance at grade on the side of the building. But then, at the demand of a nowdisbarred attorney, the city changed its requirement to a more expensive ramp in the front of the building. So, instead of entry lighting, flooring and doors that are normally a part of the scope of the accessibility remodeling, we had to build the ramp, which has narrowed the sidewalk
Seal rope should be a line drawn in the sand Yet another chapter in the ongoing seal controversy was reported in July 19’s La Jolla Light (Roped In!) California Coastal Commissioner William Burke summed it up nicely: “I don’t know how the city can send this forward and say this is the best we can do … it’s like an imaginary line … why not just draw a line in the sand?” That’s the best idea I’ve heard so far! It serves the same purpose and costs nothing, unlike a rope, and the costs have never been discussed to my knowledge. At least the ropes would be movable, unlike boulders that would be buried in the sand after the first winter. Maybe that is the intention, fill the beach with boulders and make it unusable to the seals and people! As far as dredging the polluted sand out and “dumping it over the seawall,” not only is this impractical and expensive, but if indeed possible at all, why don’t we do that now? How can we get that idea approved when we can’t get the stinking bird guano washed off the rocks less than a mile away? Why not open the sluice gates as intended, flush out the polluted sand and return the Children’s Pool to its natural, original intended use: a children’s pool. We can use all the money saved on ropes, boulders, and litigation to relocate the seals to the cove below La Jolla Hermosa Park. They could have more room and not be bothered by the humans. We could still have a “tourist

in front. We built a very good ramp, but the redesign cost us a third of the HUD grant and we must fund completion from other sources. Many members of our community, including several gracious individuals and the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla, have provided funding for some of the items we need to complete the remodeling of the center, which is more than just the accessible entrance. We have nice new bathrooms, but the floors in the hallways and rooms are older carpeting and vinyl. The building slab needs to be ground leveled and sealed. We have a new kitchen, Great Room, and will soon have a new large classroom thanks to Las Patronas, but again, the floors in those rooms need to better serve the purposes of the community and be cleanable, nonslip and durable. The electrical system in the building is old and the ceiling lighting is inadequate. There is still not enough
Our Readers Write attraction,” maybe without T-shirt vendors. I suggest we focus on getting rid of the ugly scaffolding/fence above Children’s Pool. If the seals were moved, people could return to the water and the city would have no more excuses for not rebuilding the lifeguard tower and removing the hideous porta-potties. These facts seem conveniently omitted from the seal wars. The ugliest part of La Jolla has been a lasting memory in the minds of visiting tourists. Let’s work toward cleaning up the entire mess instead of fighting over it. Then Commissioner Burke can go back to watching reality TV! Chris Cott WindanSea
Kudos to the utility workers in town I am amazed at the orchestration of all the sewer/water upgrades in our La Jolla neighborhoods. The way the trucks move on such tight turns, with workers at the ready to play their parts, is as if it were a synchronized masterwork. The much-needed improvements are being handled with great care despite this incredibly challenging assignment. Please join me in congratulating those who are conducting this enterprise. Their work is as valuable as any masterpiece, as the men and women and the huge machines take their places at just the right moment. We should smile and applaud the
shade in our courtyard, which was partially shaded, made accessible and replanted by wonderfully generous individuals. To be economically viable, your all-volunteer La Jolla Community Center Board strives to keep our membership fees low (standard, non-sustaining membership is less than $10 per month, which is easily recouped if you attend just a couple events a month). That means we need to attract more members and have fun events and meaningful classes people are proud to attend, in order to meet our expenses. To do this, our vision is to make the center comfortable, usable, attractive and clean. You can help! Your tax-deductible donation is really, really needed now.

Bicyclists must ride with fear of motorists’ moves Writing (yet again) in response to the concerned La Jollan’s letter about cyclists not obeying traffic laws — ie, riding through red lights, stop signs, etc. In the perfect world, all cyclists would obey all traffic laws — true — but then again in the perfect world all motorists would acknowledge and respect California Vehicle Code 21200 that states bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle drivers; which means that whenever you are honking at me or flipping me off because I’m passing in front of your vehicle in an attempt to make a left-hand turn ... I’m actually 100 percent within the California Vehicle Code ... funny huh? Now, in regard to cyclists riding through red lights and/or stop signs, yes, it is illegal, but what I’m sure no motorists realizes is that it is usually a strategic move by the cyclists in an attempt to get “ahead” of traffic (usually right before a left-hand turn where the cyclists will have to cross multiple-lanes). And what fuels this desire to get “ahead” of traffic? Well, it’s

Call for cobble cobble! The centennial celebration of La Jolla’s park doesn’t need a “bridge,” but we could use a “wall.” Last week’s article (“Mortar in the Court,” July 19) made me realize how grand it would be if the renovation of the recreation center included surfacing the front perimeter wall with cobble. It would be an homage to the original construction and strengthen the cohesiveness of the Cultural Zone. Joe LaCava Bird Rock

Bipartisan bill introduced to save Wall Street post office Staff Reports La Jolla’s Congresswoman, Susan Davis (D-53rd), was joined by Reps. Brian Bilbray (R-50th) and Bob Filner (D-51st) this week in introducing legislation that would allow communities like La Jolla the first option to purchase their post office, should the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) follow through with its plan to sell the historic building and relocate services elsewhere in the Village. Davis’s bill, The Community Post Office Relocation Act, 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 then lease all or part of the space back to the Postal Service if both parties so choose. Such a measure would allow USPS to reap funds from the sale of a building, while allowing a community like La Jolla to maintain a post office that is integral to its community identity. “This has the potential to be a win-win for both the La Jolla community and the Postal Service,” said Davis. “La Jollans have come together to say that the Wall Street building is more than just a post office to them — it’s at the heart of their history,
their identity and their daily commerce.” After hearing about the importance of the building to La Jollans and evaluating the efforts of the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force, the congresswoman worked closely with local activists to craft the legislation. “The Task Force is grateful for the leadership of Susan Davis and her staff in assisting us in our efforts to save our 78-yearold post office, along with its services,” said Task Force Chair Leslie Davis. “We hope this bill will serve, not only our community, but others, as we work together to find solutions that consider the needs of all citizens.” The Community Post Office Relocation Act could move through Congress either as a standalone measure or as a part of an expected larger postal reform measure. Congresswoman Davis and her colleagues will work to move the bipartisan bill later this year. She also has pledged to continue working with La Jolla and USPS on direct negotiations. Leslie Davis said the Task Force recently submitted nomination paperwork in a new format to
Congresswoman Susan Davis place the post office on the National Register of Historic Places, as requested by the state historic preservation officer. “We also received a request for advice from the (WPA-era) Berkeley, Calif., post office, which recently found out they too were going to be sold,” she said, not-
ing that the Task Force remains optimistic that it will still be able to achieve its “plan A,” keeping the post office services were they are, with no sale of the Wall Street building (at least for the next few years). n For more information, visit savelajollapostoffice.org

Luau & Longboard event set
ack for its 19th year, the Luau & Longboard Invitational is more than a surfing competition. Though the surfing attracts many wave-riding legends, the event, more importantly, is all about increasing cancer awareness and raising money for research. Since it began in 1993, the Luau & Longboard Invitational has raised more than $5 million. “The contest is on the beach and it’s free to everyone,” event co-chair Kylor Schlaht said. “It’s a great opportunity to see legends surfing and take in the amazing coastline in La Jolla and really get a fulfilling experience.” If you want to check out the surfing, you better get there early as the competition begins at 7 a.m. on Aug. 19 at the Scripps Pier. “The contest is still in the same location, but what we’re doing is relocating the tent area closer to the beach so that the event-goers can overlook the contest site,” Schlaht said. It really connects the two events a lot more than the the previous two years. The luau will get started on the bluffs overlooking the competition site at noon. One of the highlights each year for the Luau & Longboard Invitational is handing out the Rell Sunn Award, which is given to someone who battles cancer with unselfishness, compassion and true aloha spirit. This year’s award winner is Roger

The award was established in memory of Sunn, a Hawaiian surfer and longtime Luau & Longboard Invitational supporter who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1998. Each year, the event volunteer committee selects an honoree they feel has displayed a strong will, unselfishness and compassion in the battle against cancer. “Dr. Tsien’s work is an important element in the battle against cancer,” said Kylor Schlaht, 2012 event cochair. “In addition to what he does in his lab, biomedical researchers world-
wide utilize the multicolored fluorescent proteins he helped develop, and for which he won the Nobel Prize, to track the inner workings of cells and help shed light on how cells function.” Tsien has worked to develop a novel way to image and possibly even deliver specially targeted drugs to cancer tumors. “My motivation to help develop new, more effective cancer treatments comes from my knowledge of the limitations of current therapies,” said Tsien, who shared the Nobel Prize in

Chargers ink deals with two QBs The San Diego Chargers added two quarterbacks to the the team recently in Kyle Boller and Kevin O’Connell. The team already had three quarterbacks — starter Phillip Rivers and backups Jarrett Lee and Charlie Whitehurst — entering Fall Camp. Boller is entering his ninth NFL season after beginning his career as a first-round draft choice of the Baltimore Ravens in 2003. He played for the Ravens from 2003-08 where he started 42 of 55 games played. He moved on to the St. Louis Rams (2009) and Oakland Raiders (2010-11). Boller has completed 861 of 1,519 passes (56 percent) during his eight accrued seasons for 8,931 yards with 48 touchdowns and 54 interceptions. O’Connell, 6-5, 225, was a third-round pick of the New England Patriots in 2008. He spent the ’08 season with the Patriots and the 2009-11 seasons with the New York Jets. O’Connell appeared in just two games, both with the Patriots during the ’08 season, when he completed four of six pass attempts for 23 yards. The Chargers open preseason action on Aug. 8 at Qualcomm Stadium against the Green Bay Packers.
Freedom Is Not Free to hold surf camp for children Freedom is not Free is partnering with Surf Diva, Wells Fargo Bank, and the Quiksilver Foundation to host its fourth annual surf program, called the Little Warriors Surf Camp, in order to provide children of active duty service members (preference to wounded and fallen service members) with an escape from the daily reminders of why they are ‘different’ from other children. The camp will take place at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores. n For more information, go to www.freedomisnotfree.com/special-events/surfcamp.php

ro surfing returns to San Diego County as the inaugural Association of Surfing Professionals 6-Star Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro will take place at the Oceanside Pier on Aug. 9-11. Admission to the event is free. The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro will serve as the only ASP Star event on the 2012 ASP North America calendar and will immediately follow the U.S. Open of Surfing. The event fills a void in the schedule, offering the top surf talent crucial points towards their quest in joining the elite ASP Top 17. “The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro is a great addition to the ASP Schedule, and as the only women’s qualifying event in North America this year, the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro will play a big role in deciding the surfers that qualify for the 2013 ASP WCT,” Jessi Miley-Dyer, ASP Women’s Tour Manager said. “The event is an important platform to showcase the world’s best female surfers, and we’d like to thank ASA, Paul Mitchell and Supergirl for their collaborative efforts to bring this event to life.” ”I can’t begin to explain how excited all of the girls are about this event”, said Malia Manuel, the No. 7-ranked surfer in the world and a three-time Supergirl Pro Junior Silver medalist. “It’s so amazing
to have a contest like this in the U.S. that focuses entirely on women’s surfing.” While this is the inaugural Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro, the event actually marks the fifth year that Supergirl has supported women’s surfing. Since 2008, the Supergirl Pro Junior has been hailed as one of the world’s biggest Pro Junior competitions, and several of the current WCT pros have previously earned spots on the Supergirl podium, including Courtney Conlogue, Coco Ho, Carissa Moore, Malia Manuel, Lakey Peterson and Sage Erickson. The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro is the first event of the 2012 Supergirl Jam Series, the action sports industry’s largest allfemale competition and lifestyle series, featuring more than 150 female pros in surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. In addition to being the only Women’s Star event in North America, the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro will also be the largest female contest in the world in terms of the numbers of surfers that will compete. The Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro will be broadcast nationally on Fox Sports Net (FSN) and Fuel TV in the fall. n For more detailed information on the Paul Mitchell Supergirl Pro, visit www.SupergirlJam.com

La Jolla water polo club scores gold, prepares for Junior Olympics By Joe Smith La Jolla Water Polo The La Jolla Water Polo Club sent four teams to the Cal State Tournament July 20-22 and returned with three championship banners and a third place finish. The 18U Women (coached by Tom Martinez), 16U Boys (coached by Sam Busby), and 14U Girls (coached by Keller Felt and Kristen Ostosh) all swam to the top of their respective divisions. The Boys 14U team (coached by Valeri Ivanov) took a bronze medal for their division. The Cal State Tournament hosted dozens of water polo clubs who traveled from as far away as Stockton-Modesto to participate in the annual San Diego tournament. All four La Jolla Water Polo Club teams have quali-
fied to compete in the 2012 Junior Olympic National Championships which were held in San Jose last week (for men’s/boys’ divisions) and Aug. 2-5 (for the women’s/girls’ divisions). Each team competes over the four-day championship series (playing on average three games per day) against some of the most talented water polo clubs from across the country. LJWPC players anticipate the chance each summer to experience the charged atmosphere of JO’s, and they eagerly train for months to condition themselves and to learn to play as a team. Many of the older players on the La Jolla teams will cap their JO experiences with a week-long trip to Hawaii where they will be competing in the 44th annual Hawaiian Water Polo Tournament, Aug. 6-12, in Honolulu.

From Luau, A16 Chemistry in 2008. “I’ve also always wanted to do something clinically relevant in my career, if possible, and cancer is the ultimate challenge.” Tsien will receive the award during the Luau portion of the event, which begins at approximately 11:30 a.m. and goes until 3 p.m. The Longboard Invitational kicks off at 7 a.m. on the beach near the Scripps Pier in La Jolla. Teams of four will be paired with a longboard surf legend to compete in the surfing contest. The competition will be followed by the luau with music from the Professors, Polynesian dancers, and Roger Tsien live and silent auctions featuring one-of-a-kind surfboards, memorabilia and trips. “The Luau and Longboard Invitational is an exceptional event which illustrates, year after year, the incredible support from the local community and businesses for our research,” said Scott Lippman, MD, director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.
Alexander, Team USA win first match over Montenegro There are two local Olympians who are representing the United States at the 2012 London Games, here is what they are up to as of Tuesday, July 31: Brian Alexander: Alexander, a La Jolla resident, is a member of the men’s water polo team, which is 1-0 in Group B after beating Montenegro, 8-7, Sunday. The team played Romania on Tuesday and takes on Great Britain today at 10:20 a.m. PT. The men’s team has not won a gold in water polo since 1904, but has three silver medal finishes since 1984. Carrie Johnson: Johnson, a La Jolla High graduate, is making her third appearance in the Summer Games in kayak. However, she has never medaled at the Games. Johnson will compete in two events this time, the women’s K-1 200m and the women’s K-1 500m. Up first for Johnson is the K-1 500m on Tuesday, Aug. 7 followed by the K-1 200m on Friday, Aug. 10.
“Generous donations to the event support our mission to translate promising scientific discoveries into new and better options for the care of our patients. With each day, we move one step closer to finding cures for cancer.” For the fifth year in a row, Pfizer is the title sponsor of the unique fundraiser. As part of its sponsorship, the biopharmaceutical company will support its own team of surfing scientists, as well as the Thrivers Team, which is made up of surfers who have successfully fought cancer. “We are proud to support and participate in the Luau and Longboard Invitational again this year,” said Robert Abraham, senior vice president and chief scientific officer of the Oncology Research Unit at Pfizer Inc. “This event helps raise awareness of the innovative research into the causes and treatments for cancer conducted by researchers at facilities like UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and Pfizer.” The surfing competition is free for viewing; a ticket to the luau fundraiser is $150.

Edward Dennis takes scholarly approach to long career in science
What brought you to La Jolla? On Jan. 1, 1970 I started on a cross-country drive to a little village on the other ocean for my first job as an assistant professor in the formative days of UCSD. It was a great move and I never looked back. What are your favorite places in La Jolla? I enjoy walking on the La Jolla Shores beach, the Coast Walk cliff and alongside La Jolla Cove. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, how might you improve La Jolla? Rebalance the human and animal interests at the Cove. Who or what inspires you? I’m inspired by the creativity, curiosity, and inventiveness of the many outstanding educational/research institutions of La Jolla. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? It would be a potluck six-course dinner, hosted by my wife and I with six memorable chefs, both

ATHENAEUM UNVEILS JURIED EXHIBITION 2012
Annual neighborhood parties in the Shores help forge enduring friendships By Pat Sherman a Jolla Shores residents Bob and Kim Whitney are strengthening the bond in their community, one taco at a time. For the past six years, the couple has hosted free “Taco Tuesday” events at their 4,100-square-foot home, which draw as many as 150 guests through e-mail invitations and word of mouth. “The Whitneys put on the best Taco Tuesdays ever,” effused neighbor Lisa Olson. “You never know who you’re going to meet; you never know who you’re going to have dinner with.” The couple hire a caterer to prepare fresh, Tijuana-style street tacos, also offering salads, beverages, a sundae bar and plenty of opportunities for camaraderie by the pool or tennis court. Many guests arrive bearing bottles of fine wine. “Bob Whitney is such a great host to allow this wonderful gathering every summer,” said Marlene Matheson, CEO of Site Lab Interactive, an online marketing firm located in The Shores. “I never get to see people in the community because I’m in that office all day. This just brings everybody together who wouldn’t know each other otherwise.” The Whitneys began opening their home for carne asada and community building more than seven years ago while renting a more modest, 1,000-square foot home in The Village, mainly as a party for their two children, Bobby and Maggie, now ages 22 and 19, respectively. Their current home boasts 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a billiards room and plenty of patio space. “When we moved here we finally could have more people over,” said Kim Whitney, who whipped up the tacos herself during the first few years. “I make a really good taco,” she said, “but my son’s friends can eat five or six at a time. I just couldn’t fry them up fast enough, so Bob hired somebody.

FROM TACO TUESDAYS, B1 “I wanted to be the house that the kids all come to,” Kim confided. “I think every parent wants that. When all my kids’ friends would come, I’d say, ‘bring your mom and dad,’ but it was up to them whether they wanted to invite their parents.” However, as the Whitney children got older, they became conscious of hanging around adults, Kim said. “They weren’t cool with it, so my husband went throughout the neighborhood and to all the businesses and said, ‘Please come; my wife is having all these tacos made,’” she said. “All the sudden, a lot of neighbors and a lot of business owners and merchants that we didn’t know (started coming). Each week they would bring somebody else.” The Whitneys’ son, Bobby, has a different take on the evolution of Taco Tuesdays. “At one point it blew up exponentially and not a lot of my friends could make it, so my parents went around inviting everybody,” he said. “It just turned into a local party.” Taco Tuesdays began with three monthly parties, and eventually grew to seven weekly, summer soirées. This year the Whitneys scaled it back to three Taco Tuesdays, the last of which took place this week. Kim Whitney said she considered canceling Taco Tuesdays this year because their

La Jolla Shores resident Mollie Malone lamented how increasing social isolation has dissolved the bond between neighbors in many communities. However, looking around the party, she added, “You could borrow a cup of sugar from any of these people.” The Whitneys said they plan to remain in La Jolla Shores, and will continue Taco Tuesdays next summer. “Maybe we’ll rent a place to do it … or have Taco Tuesday on the beach,” Kim said. “Whoever buys this house, we’re going to tell them, ‘You have to have Taco Tuesdays here.’”

Saffron sizzles with Thai favorites that are good for what ails you! By Kelley Carlson hether you’re craving a nutritious meal, or suffering from a condition that requires careful monitoring of your diet, Saffron likely has a cure for your hunger pangs. “I’m trying to use traditional recipes and combine them with my own sensibility to create dishes that are flavorful, delicious, and at the same time healthful,” said Su-Mei Yu, owner and chef. A strong believer in the Thai concept of “food as medicine,” Yu said she prides herself in using “very good” ingredients in her exotic fare, including gluten-free soy sauce and rice-bran oil for cooking. She travels to her native Thailand once or twice a year to research food preparation techniques and recipes, and applies her knowledge to her dishes at Saffron. “Many people say that after eating here, they feel good,” said Yu, who has lived in La Jolla since 1979. “That’s probably the highest compliment they can give me.” Maybe some of that feeling can be attributed to her Good Mood Soup, which features shrimp, green papaya, pineapple, garlic and chilies in a spicy turmeric-infused broth — served on Mondays to get rid of those back-to-work blahs. Or maybe they consumed Brain Food, which is prepared with ingredients known to be nurturing to the brain, such as sweet potato, sage, turmeric, garlic, ginger, chili and kale. This fall, as the new school year gets

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant at lajollalight.com. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. This week:
■ Saffron’s Cucumber Relish – Ajaad under way, Yu plans to offer a Brain Booster dish that will include mustard greens, bok choy, spinach, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, tumeric and noodles made from yams. Another unique aspect about Saffron is that its two locations are next to each other, and they operate under the same brand. One is the Thai Grilled Chicken side — the original site, which is strictly takeout due to its small space. Customers who enter through its red doors find themselves almost immediately face-to-face with the staff at the register. The menu includes chicken plates; Salad Rolls, which are a combination of rice noodles, lettuce, cucumber, carrot, daikon, mint and cilantro with a choice of protein, wrapped in rice paper; egg rolls; and satay. There is also the Monday Night Football
Cucumber Salad Chicken Special, which can actually be ordered all day Sundays and Monday nights year-round, when $15 buys a whole chicken, rice, Cambodian salad and five dipping sauces. The other side of Saffron, which opened in 2002, is Noodles and Saté. Popular entrees include Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai; patrons also may select rice, curry and vegetable dishes, along with desserts such as Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango. This is also the part of the establishment where guests can sit down and dine, after placing their order at the counter. The dining room displays artwork from Yu’s friends, glass sculptor Dale Chihuly and the late artist Italo Scanga; photos of Yu posing with celebrities such as Martha Stewart and Sissy Spacek; and numerous critics and
readers choice awards. Tables are decorated with pink and white flowers in clear vases, along with sauces and peppers; reflections from the mini mirror balls above dance over the surfaces. On the covered patio in front, guests can casually observe the auto and foot traffic of the Mission Hills Business District. “(Having the two sides) is like having a split personality,” Yu said. “But we can do the same thing on both sides (with food).” Children can feast on simple, nourishing meals, such as the Yummy Drumstick with thick rice noodles and peanut sauce, and the Steamy Trees (cooked broccoli) and Grilled Chicken Saté. “We say the kids here help me plant rice,” Yu said with a smile, referring to the state of the floor after families have finished their meals. “They scatter it like Thai farmers. We love children; they’re funny people.” Special events occur occasionally at the restaurant, including cooking classes and a monthly street food market with offerings such as grilled corn, macaroons, Lao chicken sausage, a noodle dish and a Thai ice cream sandwich. Tuesdays is “Spread the Wealth,” in which patrons receive 10 percent off their purchase of $30 or more. Parking options include metered spaces on India Street, a lot behind Shakespeare Pub & Grille, or on residential streets throughout the Mission Hills neighborhood; valet parking is available on weekends. Customers may also choose curbside pickup.

Sample seven shows at North Coast Rep’s Season 31 buffet By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 31st season — the 10th under Artistic Director David Ellenstein — begins and ends with a farce. How does Ellenstein choose his plays? He’s got a little list — a master list of about 100 plays that he adds to all the time. “I always want an eclectic mix,” he said. “NCRT has no genre agenda; we try to offer a buffet!” Ellenstein will be directing three plays this season: “Words By,” “Time Stands Still,” and “Becoming Cuba.” Meanwhile, through Aug. 11, he’s onstage in Vista, playing Tevye in the Moonlight production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” More at moonlightstage.com Here’s the season roundup: n Sept. 5-30 Kicking off the 2012-13 season is “The Underpants,” originally written in 1910 by German playwright Carl Sternheim, a contemporary of Kafka who often satirized the bourgeoisie. This adaptation, by actorcomedian-banjo player-writer Steve Martin, has brought the play worldwide exposure since its 2002 off-Broadway premiere. Martin kept the storyline — what
If you go ■ What: North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach ■ Season Tickets: $177-$282 ■ Individual Performances: $29-$52 ■ Box Office: (858) 481-1055 ■ Website: northcoastrep.org happens after the wife of a government clerk accidentally drops her drawers in public — but he made “The Underpants” his own: a little zanier, not so political, but with some social commentary underneath. Ellenstein, who is also an actor, has a Steve Martin connection: He played Einstein in a 1999 Laguna Playhouse production of “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” Martin’s first full-length play. n Oct. 17-Nov. 11 You’ll want to sing along with “Words By: Ira Gershwin and the Great American Songbook,” about the lesser-known lyricist brother of George. Ira not only wrote the words to over a dozen hit musicals by his younger
brother, but collaborated with composers like Harold Arlen and Kurt Weill after George’s early demise. His lyrics turned catchy tunes into singable classics; now this world premiere puts the spotlight on him. Part musical revue, part life-andtimes reminiscence, “Words By” is the second Gershwin tribute by Minnesota music-man Joseph Vass, whose George-centered show, “The Soul of Gershwin,” has jazzed up theaters from Miami to Toronto. n Jan. 9-Feb. 3 Remember the 1983 movie “Educating Rita,” a Pygmalionthemed charmer about a cynical, middle-aged professor and a young Liverpool hairdresser with a yearning for higher education? Now you can see the play on which the film was based. Playwright Willy Russell, who also wrote “Shirley Valentine,” has a knack for creating irresistible working-class women who are determined to change their lives. n Feb. 20-March 17 Contemporary issues flare up in the Tony-nominated drama “Time Stands Still,” about a combat reporter/photojournalist couple trying to adapt to conventional
life back home. Ellenstein has directed several plays by Pulitzer prizewinner Donald Margulies and said he is is excited about bringing this one to NCRT. n April 10-May 5 Next comes “The Odd Couple,” the ultimate bad roommate comedy, which won Neil Simon his first Tony and rocketed his career. “Once the movie came out, people stopped doing the play,” Ellenstein said. “But it’s still as funny as ever.”
n May29-June23 World premiere No. 2 is “Becoming Cuba,” by Bostonbased Melinda Lopez, a winner of the Kennedy Center’s Charlotte Woodard Award, given to a promising new voice in American theater. Ellenstein directed two of her earlier plays, and calls her “a friend and colleague, and a very in-demand writer now.” Commissioned by NCRT in a novel way — as a self-gifted birthday present from board member Jenie Altruda — “Becoming Cuba” was workshopped here for a week in June, with the playwright in attendance. It’s an offbeat, often comic drama about family and freedom — with a few ghosts thrown in — set in the time of what Cubans call the War of Independence and we call the Spanish-American War. July 10-Aug. 4 There’ll be no stiff upper lips at the season’s finale: “Perfect Wedding,” a British bedroom farce by Robin Hawden, whose adaptation of “Don’t Dress for Dinner” was a smash at NCRT in 2008. This one starts out with a man waking up on his wedding morning with a woman beside him who is not his bride.

Retired art teacher continues to learn about painting By Ashley Mackin An inquiry into La Jolla watercolorist Charlotte Zinn’s inspiration can yield an art lesson, which is no surprise considering she has been teaching art for most of her life. Her most recent painting, a landscape of the Scotland House in Balboa Park, acts as a vehicle for sharing several facts about art. She said she painted “Scotland House” during a Wednesday Morning Painters session with the San Diego Watercolor Society. “Composition is the most important thing,” Zinn said, of beginning a painting. “So the first thing I do is determine the varying shades of color I will use. Known as ‘value,’ these lighter and darker colors determine the success of the piece. If a painting doesn’t have good lights and darks, the painting will fail.” She said she learned this lesson after a workshop with artist Rex Brandt in 1970, who spoke of “saving the white shapes in watercolors.” “I learned when not to paint and allow the paper itself to serve as the white in a painting. The white walls in my ‘Scotland House’ painting exemplify this. It’s easier to

save more whites than you need because you can always paint them out.” Zinn began to teach art in 1969 at Fallbrook High School, about 100 miles from where she went to high school in
Pasadena. She said it was during her own high school years that her love of art began, and she still remembers her high school art teacher’s names. After teaching across San Diego and
Coronado, Zinn retired in 2008. She now paints landscapes of her favorite spots in San Diego, preferring warm colors and the light found during the spring, summer and fall months. “There is really good light here, I think the best in the world,” she said. In addition to being influenced by her fellow painters at the Watercolor Society, Zinn said artists Paul Cézanne and Rembrandt inspire her. Among her 15 exhibitions were eight years of shows at the Georgeanna Lipe Gallery in La Jolla after it opened in 1995. Currently, Zinn has some of her pieces on display at the Biz Center, 6920 Miramar Road. Zinn recently sold some work at Gallery 4311 at San Diego Hospice in downtown San Diego, where she considered the reception a personal highlight. “My work was next to the wine table, so it was very well seen,” she laughed. “These days, I just want to continue to enjoy Wednesday Morning Painters and get out there now while the weather is good. Paintings fail every once in a while, but there’s always the other side of the paper and there’s always another day.”

‘Arts Angel’ Bonnie Wright to be honored at gala Bonnie Wright Audrey Baker
FROM SYMPHONY REPORTS Local music presenter Bonnie Wright will be honored for her contributions to the arts by the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus at its fifth annual gala “Midnight in Paris” on Oct. 13 at Marriott Del Mar. The event also kicks-off the LJS&C 2012-2013 season and will include two auctions, a hosted reception, dinner and dancing, On selecting Wright as its “Arts Angel 2012,” LJS&C music
director Steven Schick acknowledged her long history on the San Diego contemporary music scene, beginning with the founding of Spruce Street Forum in 1995 as a venue for concerts of new, improvised and experimental music, and continuing today with her Fresh Sound music series at Space4Art in downtown San Diego. In addition to her work as a concert presenter, Wright is founder/executive producer of Henceforth Records, a label that
emphasizes cross-genres of music from contemporary classical to experimental and electronics. “Through her inventive recording label, her visionary concert presentations in San Diego and her generous support of local artists and audiences, Bonnie Wright has proved the most powerful axiom of artmaking: a single person with passion, ideas, and commitment can change the world,” Schick said. Tickets for the Gala are $175
per person and can be purchased at lajollasymphony.com or by calling (858) 534-4637. Proceeds support the artistic and educational programs of the symphony and chorus. The upcoming concert season is fashioned around themes from the novel “Angle of Repose,” and begins the weekend of Nov. 3-4, with Schick leading the orchestra in works by contemporary composers John Cage and Missy Mazzoli alongside Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3.
There are edible ‘sunscreens’ to beat the burn
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman “Sunbathing is like grilling. Everyone knows it’s bad for you, but no one ever stops doing it.” — Laurie Colwin in ‘Home Cooking’
A
century ago in America tanned skin was taboo, a gauche mark of an outdoor laborer. Today’s golden glow, now a symbol of prosperity and leisure, is a sure fire cause of premature aging, footballleather complexions and skin cancer. Here’s a primer on how to safely enjoy SoCal’s solar bounty, whether you’re a sun worshipper or a shade gator, protecting yourself from the inside out with the right sun-protective foods, (although there is no substitute for common sun sense, and broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both damaging UVA and UVB rays.) Popeye’s Green Sunscreen Studies have shown that green leafy vegetables, particularly kale, spinach and chard are mighty warriors packed with the pigment lutein that can dramatically reduce the risk of certain skin cancers by as much as 50 percent. Luteins create an internal sun shield that not only lessens
Sweet and Savory Kale Chips For a great multi-tasking beach snack, whip up a batch of these crunchy kale chips. They’ve got less fat and more calcium than their potato chip cousin, and more SPF, too. ■ Ingredients: • 1 bunch of fresh kale, ribs removed • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil • Sea salt, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and brown sugar to taste ■ Method: Preheat oven to 300-degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Thoroughly wash and dry kale and tear into bite-size pieces. Toss with olive oil and sprinkle with desired amount of seasonings. Spread “chips” on cookie sheet and bake until edges become crisp but not burned, 16-18 minutes. Store in an airtight container. burning, but protects optic nerves from sun damage, warding off macular degeneration down the road. And you don’t have to worry about luteins washing off in the water. Broccoli sprouts have also been touted as a sun-protective food to put the skids on skin cancer. So, pack a picnic lunch for the beach with leafy green slaws and salads, and whole-grain sandwiches dressed with broccoli sprouts and other green screens. Your Cup of Tea According to the Journal of American Academy of
Dermatology, black and green teas are polyphenol powerhouses, containing antioxidants that protect internally from sun’s firebreathing monster rays. Drinking two or more cups a day, particularly of the Goliath green, has been found to reduce the risk of squamous cell skin cancer by as much as 30 percent. So take a warm sip sweetened with agave syrup, a cool swig blended with fresh lemonade, or an icy scoop of green tea ice cream, and bask away. Fish and Tips There’s plenty of fish to
fry, especially wild-caught, deep sea, cold-water ones like salmon, herring, sardines and mackerel. These omega-3 fatty acid blockbusters reduce inflammation, and in turn serious sunburns that can raise the risk of developing assorted skin cancers. Two to three servings a week should do the trick. Try smoked salmon and red onion frittata, mixed seafood and fish ceviche with avocado and cucumber, sardine and heirloom tomato bruschetta or your fave grilled, poached, sautéed, marinated or stir-fried with crunchy veggies and almonds. In the Pink Pick fruits and veggies bursting with the colors of the rainbow, along with carotenoids and lycopene to protect both skin and eyes from sun damage. These plants have rich pigments that act as built-in sunscreens, and pass on the protective traits when consumed. The biggest lycopene powerhouses are watermelons and tomatoes, the latter dialing-up lycopene when cooked and eaten with a fat for better absorption. Lasagna anyone? Anti-Burn Bliss Super dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 72 percent or higher has a motherload of antioxidants linked to protecting the skin from sunburn. Two ounces a day (need I twist your arm?) is the recommended dose — whether in a tall, cool frappe; shaved on a bowl of assorted berries; mixed with nuts and dried fruits; baked
Fight sun exposure (and skin cancer) with these tips The Skin Cancer Foundation offers this sun safety advice for those with an active, outdoor lifestyle: ■ Seek the shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. whenever possible. Schedule training, practices and games for the early morning or late afternoon. ■ Do not burn. A person’s risk for melanoma doubles if he or she has had more than five sunburns over the course of a lifetime. ■ Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. Clothing can be your most effective form of sun protection, so make the most of it with tightly woven or knit, dark- or brightcolored fabrics, which offer the best defense. ■ For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant, broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. ■ Sunscreen running into the eyes is a perennial concern (and an occasional excuse for not wearing any), but the pros have ways of dealing with this: Apply petroleum jelly to your eyebrows, since it keeps sunscreen on your forehead from migrating into your eyes. ■ Reapply sunscreen every two hours or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating. Be careful to cover often-missed exposed spots, such as the hands, ears and the back of the neck. ■ Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, and naproxen, Aleve) make you extrasensitive to the sun. If you use such medications for your aches and pains, be vigilant about protecting your skin. in a south-of-the-border chicken dish (ole mole); or savored straight up in a smooth dark chunky chunk. Sun-damage Control After the burn, Neala Moch, owner of The Stratford House spa and salon in Del Mar, recommends gently placing a cool milk compress on the tender spots as the lactic acid tends to ease the sting.
Pure aloe vera and arnica gel are also cooling and healing, or you can concoct a soothing home remedy blending strawberry juice and honey. After applying the fruity balm, rinse off with a combo of warm water and lemon juice, avoiding the eyes. For more beach recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit FreeRangeClub.com

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is. The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis. Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live. Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment. To make a contribution, please go to lajollacommunityfoundation.org and click on GET INVOLVED. Become a member today!

More open house listings at lajollalight.com/homes
Carol Maria Doty has joined the La Jolla office of Prudential California Realty. With a background in real estate that spans 26 years, Doty said she would provide clients with an advanced level of support and service — and she will donate 10 percent of all of her commissions to the San Diego Humane Society. Born and raised in La Jolla, Doty said she has a broad network of area connections and an intimate understanding of the region’s school districts and neighborhoods. She returned to La Jolla recently after living in Hawaii, where she worked as a new home sales manager for the Carol Doty largest builder in the nation. “It’s wonderful to be back here in La Jolla. I’m excited to be home,” she said. A graduate of La Jolla High School, Doty continued her education at Humboldt State University where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business. She said her decision to enter the real estate industry was motivated by a desire to combine her love for working with people and her passion for architecture. In her spare time, she enjoys going to the beach, running, and riding her beach cruiser. La Jolla Light Ad.pdf ContactChuck herHelsel at (858) 9978151 or cmdoty@prusd.com
