By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) is the latest group rallying to exert pressure on city officials to rid the Cove of the pervasive stench caused by a buildup of bird and marine mammal waste. At its Sept. 12 meeting, the LJVMA will vote to adopt a motion requesting that the City of San Diego “take appropriate action to eliminate the odor and health issues caused by bird excrement … safely, effectively, and expeditiously.” The motion also asks Village merchants and community members to “promote increased awareness of the problem and potential solutions; to work with other interested community SEE STENCH, A10

By Pat Sherman Two letter-writing events organized by the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force generated more than 100 letters to Congressman Darrell Issa (R-49th), urging him to sign onto or support the bipartisan Community Post Office Relocation Act (H.R 6238). The bill was authored by Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-53rd) and co-signed by Reps. Brian Bilbray (R-50th) and Bob Filner (D-51st). It offers a vehicle for communities to purchase their post office buildings to save them from closure or relocation. Task force chair Leslie Davis said many people stopping by the Wall Street post office during the second event on Aug. 17 learned about their effort and crafted impromptu letters to Issa. Others, who had learned about the event beforehand via e-mail or in the La Jolla Light, dropped off completed letters. Davis said the task force is working to get a meeting with Issa, who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has legislative jurisdiction over the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). ”We believe Issa’s going to be in California in August, so we’re going

He is the gatekeeper of our bill.” Addressing those in attendance
On the post office steps, Janie Emerson pens a letter to Congressman Darrell Issa.
Aug. 17, Congressman Filner, who is running for mayor, suggested that the task force and other sympathetic community members hand-deliver the letters. “The last thing anybody wants to do is be embarrassed,” said Filner,
noting that Congress is on recess and Issa would likely be at his office in Vista. “He’s home until Sept. 10 — and if he meets with you, fine,” Filner said.

Annual ‘Fire Run’ to blaze through La Jolla on Sunday By Pat Sherman The 13th annual End of Summer Fire Run will make its way through town this Sunday, Aug. 26, beginning at 8 a.m. at the corner of Prospect Street and Girard Avenue. The four-mile trek draws about 2,000 participants each year, winding south through WindanSea and Bird Rock, then heading onto Mission Boulevard and ending at Feldspar Street in Pacific Beach. “It’s really a great distance for families,” said event organizer Kathy Loper. “It’s not a hilly course and there are only two turns. You see a lot of families out there pushing baby joggers, and it still draws the really fast runners.” The run raises money for the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation, which purchases needed equipment for San Diego firefighters, paramedics and lifeguards that is not supported by the city’s budget. Last year’s event raised $15,000. Wendy Robinson, executive director of the Fire Rescue Foundation, said its mission is to provide equipment, training and technology for San Diego’s emergency responders, such as collar microphones, which allow firefighters handsfree communication while they are working. The foundation also helps purchase VHF radios, which allow firefighters to work collabor-

The foundation further provides emergency preparedness education for high-risk groups, such as students and seniors. Robinson said the foundations budget is “a moving target,” and depends on the city’s annual budget and what the needs are. “The need really is there to keep the city fire department at the world-class level that it’s at,” she said. “We definitely could spend $200,000 or more (annually).”

Neurosciences Institute will relocate operations to The Village By Pat Sherman The Neurosciences Institute (NSI), a nonprofit scientific research organization dedicated to studying the brain, is leaving the three-building complex atop Torrey Pines Mesa it has occupied since 1995. In early fall, NSI will vacate the space, which is owned by Scripps Research Institute, relocating to a portion of an office building at the corner of Fay Avenue and Silverado Street in The Village. The NSI moved from the campus of the Rockefeller University in New York City to La Jolla in 1993, occupying temporary quarters while its facility in the UCSD Science Research Park was being constructed. The building, designed by the architecture firm Tod Williams Billie Tsien and Associates, has won numerous awards. While there, NSI offered free use of its acoustically superior auditorium to nonprofit performing arts organizations that were aligned with NSI’s philosophy. W. Einar Gall, NSI’s senior vice-president, said the institute will establish its theoretical and experimental research arm in its new headquarters at 800 Silverado St. where it will continue its fundamental neurobiology research. Other programs of the Neurosciences Research Foundation will continue there, and at a location to be determined. “We are beginning to discuss relationships with institutions on the East Coast that would be a new avenue for us in our research activities,” Gall told the La Jolla Light. Without its laboratory facility, NSI will dis-

In the 1980s, when NSI began this work, it was much less common. “Most people at the time were focusing on one particular cell,” Gall said. “We were modeling what might be called regions of the brain.”
The Neurosciences Institute is leaving its longtime home in the UCSD Science Research Park on the Torrey Pines Mesa and transferring a portion of its research to this building at the corner of Fay Avenue and Silverado Street. Pat Sherman photos NSI was founded in 1981, under the leadership of Nobel Laureate Gerald M. Edelman. Since then, it has focused its research on his principles, underlying how humans perceive and act on the world, how they learn and remember, and how consciousness arises. NSI receives funding through grants from the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), private foundations and other government agencies such as the National Science Foundation. NSI’s programs have shown that insects sleep in a manner similar to mammals, and how imagination shapes the way people hear musical rhythms. For more information, visit nsi.edu

Scott Lippman takes helm at UCSD Moores Cancer Center BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS eveloping personalized cancer treatment is just one specialty Scott M. Lippman, M.D., 57, brings to his new job as director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. As he circles back to his Califonia roots after decades of extensive cancer research in Texas, Lippman brings to the center, years of experience in clinical trials. Lippman graduated from Grossmont High School in El Cajon and attended UC Irvine on a tennis scholarship. He said he figured he would study medicine for a few years while he competed in the sport, his passion. Ultimately, he completed his medical degree from Johns Hopkins University. After hematology training at Stanford, Lippman finished his hematology/oncology fellowship at the University of Arizona where he met his wife, Mary. After they married, he accepted a position at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. “I had to bring my wife kicking and screaming. She didn’t want to go,” he said. “I promised I’d be there about five years, and we were there 24 years.” During that time, Lippman received numerous funds from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for his research, serving as the principal investigator in

clinical trials that included translational/molecular studies of cancer risk and personalized therapy using molecular-targeted drug development. “What’s changed in terms of treatment in cancer is (the recognition, realization) that every patient is different,” Lippman said. “I really want to be able to make a clinical impact in such specialized treatment.” He said the La Jolla location is a prime opportunity for delivering such care with its concentration of three NCI-designated cancer research centers — out of 41
nationwide. He also wants to take advantage of the proximity to the county’s hundreds of biotech companies, explaining that 90 percent of drugs approved for cancer treatment come from biotech industries that he visions he will one day work with directly. Lippman succeeds Dennis A. Carson, M.D., as director of the cancer center. Carson noted it was a hard job to fill because the patients are very ill and there’s a lot of responsibility that goes along with the university. “Dr. Lippman’s expertise in patient care, administra-
tion, and also clinical research made him fit the bill,” Carson said. “He led a very big program in head and neck cancer, and lung cancer, and was very involved in treatment and drug trials.” Carson said the new $670 million UCSD Jacobs Medical Center that is expected to open a phase of floors in 2015, will ultimately have more than double the beds the current center has, and about half of the patients will be UCSD patients as they move to a referralbased system. “Moores has a huge influx of patients. It needs cancercentric leadership,” he said. “Dr. Lippman has a lot of experience dealing with what’s happening now with cancer.” Carson was trained as a scientist, and integrated his training for eight years when the focus of the school was research. “But now, with the need to apply the research to cancer, things are changing. Now we need to implement the clinical trials,” Carson said. Mary Lippman said the timing is right for her husband to relocate for this next phase of his career. “It’s a great time for oncology to get the new beds that are coming with the new hospital,” she said. “Our family had many wonderful years in Texas, and it was a nice place to raise their three kids, but, I’m delighted to
move to the San Diego area … and La Jolla … every once in a while, I feel like somebody will find out and send me back to Houston!” Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D, assistant professor of medicine in the division of hematology-oncology and director of stem cell research at the Moores UCSD Cancer Center is also happy about Lippman’s arrival. “As you know, we’d like to do clinical trials,” Jamieson said. “So we were so excited
to get Dr. Lippman here; he’s very well known for his translational research.” Lippman said it’s been fun for him, personally, to come back and reconnect with old friends he used to compete with in tennis. Some of them are California’s best: John Holladay (USC), Larry Belinsky, founder of San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame, and Brian Teacher (UCLA). “I got to know these people very well. It’s like I never left,” he said.

T O D A Y by Janet Douglas Artful Landscaping cuts Home Energy Costs Most homeowners know that mature trees and shrubs add aesthetic value and “curb appeal” to their property. Planted at the edges of a building, a tree’s broad canopy of leaves softens the hard lines of architecture and offers shade. What many don’t know is that trees also serve the very practical and economical function of absorbing light reflected from the roof and decreasing the air temperature surrounding your home through evaporation of moisture! The positioning of trees and shrubs around your home has a significant effect on how much you’ll be paying to heat and cool your house each month. According to the US Department of Energy, even one strategically placed tree can reduce your heating and cooling bill up to 25 %. In general, deciduous trees planted on the south and west sides of the house keep the home cool during the summer and allow low angle sun into the home during the winter. If you live on a windy hill or coastal bluff, planting evergreen trees or shrubs on the north and west sides of your structure will help protect your home from winter gusts and storms. Vines growing on the trellises shade windows and protect exterior walls from absorbing excess sunlight in the hot summer months. Consult your landscape designer for advice about your particular property.

English School on Prospect Street seeks approval for expansion BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS EC San Diego, an English Language school at 1012 Prospect St. since 1992, petitioned the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee at its Aug. 12 meeting to approve an expansion plan to convert the vacant office space within its building into classroom areas to accommodate an increase in the number of students from 65 to 300. Project architect Claude-Anthony Marengo said the number of school employees is also increasing from 10 to 25. “We don’t have any tenants on the third floor and we’re trying to expand,” said the school’s director, Martha Delgadillo. Plans also call for the multi-level building to incorporate three, outdoor seating areas for students during classroom breaks.

She said the school was formerly called the International Center for American English, but became EC San Diego in 2008, and is part of an international group of 15 schools that belong to a private corporation. The school operates weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but it also provides students with scheduled weekend activities, such as trips to the Del Mar Racetrack or to Las Vegas.
On the first day of each new class, Delgadillo said she takes the group to the La Jolla Visitor Center around the corner on Herschel Avenue. “We give them a little orientation of the area so they’re not so lost,” she said. “For most of them, it’s their first time in the United States.” The project now goes before the La Jolla Community Planning Association, which meets at 4 p.m. the first Thursday of the month at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The next meeting is Sept. 6.

FROM POST OFFICE, A1 “If he doesn’t, deliver the letters personally, with cameras there. They gotta feel pressure. If they’re just going to receive letters, it won’t work. … I know what influences the legislature.” Postal employees view Issa’s own Postal Reform Act — a drastic cost-cutting measure — as a threat to their livelihoods and the future of the USPS. “The postal workers inside have been very depressed about all this and I keep telling them, ‘We’re fighting for you,’” said Janie Emerson, who said her letter discussed how Davis’s bill could be a “win-win” for the community, USPS and taxpayers. District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who was at the Aug. 17 event, said she discussed the post office issue
with Issa during a San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce event in April. Lightner told the Light Issa can “still have his cost-cutting, but we can still have our post office. “That’s the whole idea,” she said. “(Those goals) do not conflict … if we can manage to sublease the post office at a rate that they would have to pay elsewhere in The Village (anyway).” USPS has proposed selling the beloved Wall Street post office building and moving services to a smaller space elsewhere in The Village. Filner said he believes the most persuasive argument for Issa reaching across the isle to support Susan Davis’s bill is to show that “It cost more money to move the post office than to deal with it here.”
Congressman Bob Filner, who authored his own legislation aimed at saving the Wall Street post office, keeps the crowd amused as Athina Singer (far left) and Leslie Davis of the Save Our La Jolla Post Office Task Force look on. PAT SHERMAN

Herringbone wants to add sidewalk service BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS The La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee unanimously approved Herringbone restaurant’s plans for an outside dining area at its Aug. 14 meeting. The $2.5 million eatery from restaurateurs Brian Malarkey and James Brennan opened at 7837 Herschel Ave. in May. The scope of work involves a permit for a proposed sidewalk café that projects nearly seven feet from the front of the building, along 22 feet, for a total of 151 square feet. “The plan is to stay true to the original design of the building,” said architect Claude-Anthony Marengo. The building was renovated after a 20year vacancy to become the upscale seafood restaurant that now features Bravo TV’s “Top Chef” graduate, Amanda Baumgarten. Marengo said a three-foot-tall wroughtiron fence will enclose the outdoor eating

FROM STENCH, A1 organizations to identify sensible solutions and to mobilize public support for those solutions. “Most ■S ee related editorial importantly,” the resolution on Page A18 reads, “make your views known to city officials and candidates for public office.” In a statement to the community and city officials, the LJVMA said the smell “significantly affects our businesses, hotels, restaurants, and general retail in La Jolla, discouraging tourism and embarrassing business owners who try to explain why the City of San Diego allows this excrement to remain untreated.” LJVMA president Phil Coller said the organization, which represents the interests of merchants in La Jolla’s downtown business improvement district, have received numerous calls from tourists and business owners complaining about the situation. Coller said the association believes the rocks are located “within the public right-of-way and therefore subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the city.” Community members have proposed several all-natural, biodegradable cleaning solvents to cleanse the rocks, as well as use of a highpressure water jet, which Coller favors. However, the city has argued that even water would cause runoff to flow back into the ocean and have potential environmental impacts. “It’s going to get in the sea anyway (when it rains),” Coller argued. “That’s historically where nature takes it. Nobody picks it up and takes it to the toxic-waste dump. The more it stores up, the more toxic it becomes. “This is just pandering to unthinking environmentalists,” he added. “The city doesn’t want to put their necks on the block to take action, but there are plenty of solutions out there that are natural, safe and don’t cause any more damage than rain water washing on the rocks.”

Michael Wilkes in Venice, leaning against the wall of a church designed by Italian architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) Courtesy
Retiring architect leaves mark on Bishop’s Library By Linda Hutchison fter 40 years, San Diego architect and La Jolla resident Michael Wilkes has taken down his well-deserved and designed shingle. In retirement he will leave behind a legacy of superior design credits, including his most recent and final project, the Manchester Library and Learning Center at The Bishop’s School, which was officially dedicated and opened on Aug. 22, as students returned to school. As CEO of the former Delawie Wilkes Rodrigues Barker firm of San Diego (now Delawie), Wilkes said he faced several challenges when he agreed to design the new library. The building would stand on its own near the entrance to the campus, but it needed to blend in with the unique architectural style already created by Irving Gill in the early 1900s. The library required at least 21,000 square feet of space where there was only room for 14,000, limited by several factors: the twostory height regulations, a large storm water easement on the north, a garage on the south, the parking lot on the west, and the historic Wheeler J. Baily Building on the east.
A
Wilkes overcame these limits by creating a basement level of approximately 7,000 square feet and connecting it to the first level with a two-story atrium. “Basements are dark, so the atrium harvests light from the arched windows on the east and a linear ridge skylight in the roof,” explained Wilkes. For the exterior, Wilkes used the graceful archways and windows which define the Mission style and added a two-story staircase inside a bay window, offering a view across the quad, and a pergola on the west side, covering a balcony with an ocean view. By including these vertical and horizontal design elements, including copper trim on the roof, Wilkes has created a building that looks beautiful in any light and that appears smaller than its 22,000 square feet. “We didn’t want a big box overwhelming the building next to it,” said Wilkes. The Bishop’s School Library was Wilkes’ second historic project. The other was the School of Leadership and Education Science

From Architect, A14 at USD, in the Spanish Revival Style. But Wilkes is a contemporary architect at heart, having studied at the University of Oregon under the discipleship of Louis Kahn (designer of the Salk Institute). His projects have focused mainly on university and life science structures, and include the Muir College Tamarack Apartments and Stewart Commons renovation at UCSD, the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, and the NOAA La Jolla Laboratory consolidation (in collaboration with GEA). As Wilkes explained, contemporary architecture requires restraint and minimalism and is the opposite of Victorian ornamentalism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like an Apple store, white and white, with great tables.â&#x20AC;? Wilkes first became fascinated with building design as a boy. The son of a Methodist minister, he said he moved around California with his family, including a younger brother and sister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father was good at fundraising and building congregations, so I was often around church construction,â&#x20AC;? Wilkes said. He also attended Oakland High School, designed by famed architect Julia Morgan, and got a taste of urban architecture. After graduating from the University of Oregon in Eugene, Wilkes moved to La Jolla, where there were better job opportunities. He joined Delawie in 1971, was appointed a principal in 1980, and CEO in 1992. He was also named a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects in 1991. During Wilkes 40 years with the firm, it received more than 70 honors for design excellence. Wilkes design ideas for La Jolla involve

Although Wilkes has retired, he is anything but still. A man of many interests, he is in constant motion. Up until he had knee surgery last year, he was a marathon runner. Now he bicycles at least 25 miles a day. He also travels regularly to Eugene where is he on the University of Oregon Board of Trustees, teaches fourth-year architectural design classes, and mentors about 25 students a year. He and his wife Penny (who teaches writing seminars at the university) also mentor student athletes and are passionate Ducks football fans.

In addition to collaborating with his wife on a book of poetry and other projects, Wilkes walks to the oceanfront regularly to photograph birds and surfers. He posts up to 50 photos a day on his two blogs: lajollawaves.blogspot.com and fotofeathers.blogspot.com.

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES Got a dream? Murfey Construction will build it! By Marti Gacioch cott Murfey began learning the construction business as a young boy while building the treehouses and forts of his dreams. Later, his passion to build evolved smoothly into his career after he earned a degree in construction management at California Polytechnic San Luis Obispo. Murfey said he learned the trade on his own, but along the way he found mentors. “I looked up to the masters,” Murfey said. “They were always willing to share their knowledge, and in construction, you’re always learning new things.” Before opening Murfey Construction in 2009, Murfey worked for eight general construction firms where he learned the various facets of construction. Since then, he’s built a wide range of commercial and residential projects, including cathedrals, golf courses, hotels, condominiums and apartment buildings. Now partnered with his brother, Russell Murfey, who has a strong financial background, Murfey is working on multiple projects, including a custom 4,000-square-foot, two-story Cape Cod home in La Jolla Shores and a mixed-use residential/commercial development project in San Diego. According to Murfey, project building is a long process, so it’s wise to have a designer or architect on the team. “It’s good to have
S
someone who does space planning and layout to figure out how things are going to function,” Murfey said. “I always tell my clients that it’s also good to have photos or magazine clips to show a builder what your intent is.” Building a home is a collaborative team effort involving client, builder and designer, so Murfey finds that weekly meetings help keep his clients involved and the project running smoothly. While the majority of Murfey’s work is residential, his other projects include the W Hotel in downtown San Diego, Four Seasons Aviara in La Costa, the Park Laurel condominiums near Balboa Park, and a renovation of San Diego’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. Murfey said that “Transitional Style” is the current trend in residential construction.“It has a classic look, but with modern, clean, crisp lines and a contemporary edge that’s very popular,” he said. “It’s a simple, more European style that people seem to appreciate. We’re an old-fashioned company, in terms of customer service, and we like to make our clients feel important and treat them special, but we’re very modern with our use of technology.” — Murfey Construction, 5580 La Jolla Blvd., Suite 55 scott@murfeyconstruction.com (858) 405-0186. murfeyconstruction.com From left: Scott B.

Irishman opens wine shop in Bird Rock neighborhood of Bridget’s Blooms on Torrey Pines Road. n Business moves out: Indo Teak Design closed its showroom doors at 5663 La Jolla Blvd. on June 1 when the lease expired. The business relocated to a warehouse at 7170 Miramar Road, Suite 700, where the custom wood manufacturer and distributor will continue to offer the same flooring.
New Business REport BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Bird Rock Fine Wine, 5687 La Jolla Blvd., uncorked its first bottle on Aug. 8 when the store opened its doors with a wine tasting event. Owner Ken Chalmers said the city’s complicated permitting process cost him two years before he could finally open, but the wait is over for the native of Northern Ireland who chose La Jolla as the place to fulfill a dream. “I’ve wanted to open a wine shop for 15 years,” Chalmers said. The 850-square-feet of retail space houses 450 bottles of wine from California, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Europe, France, Spain, Germany and Israel, along with a selection of sweet wines. A small area at the entrance is designated for wine tasting for up to 10 people. Pours range from $2 to $10, Chalmers said. Wines start at $7 a bottle for Vina Cerrada, 2010, Tempranillo from Spain; and go to as high as $300 for a bottle of Champagne Salon, 1999 vintage. Chalmers said his personal favorite is a Bordeaux wine from France, Another very good French wine for the value is a Rhone wine that sells for $20 or less a bottle. Bird Rock Fine Wine has prices that compare with sales on wine at major grocery stores, but Chalmers said his wines won’t go on sale because the discount is already reflected in their prices.

The San Diego Planning Commission will consider whether to issue a site development permit for a year-round rope barrier at Children’s Pool beach, during a public hearing at 9 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 30. Citizens will have a chance to weigh in on the issue during the meeting, in the Silver Room of City Concourse, 202 C Street in downtown San Diego. On July 11, the California Coastal Commission unanimously approved a coastal development permit for the year-round rope barrier, which is intended as a guideline to separate humans and seals at the beach. The rope is already in place during the seals’ winter pupping season. For more information on the meeting, visit sandiego.gov/planning-commission

Fed up with the Cove stench? Time to let the city know! Realizing strength comes in numbers, and the squeaky wheel gets the grease, they now ask for your support. Voice it in the form of a phone call or e-mail message to the following point people who have the power to set the cliff-cleaning project in motion:
Our View
S
ince January, the La Jolla Light has been reporting on the nauseating odor that fills the air along the Cove coastline that is caused by marine wildlife excrement rotting on the cliffs. Pedestrians, joggers, seaside diners, merchants, visitors and residents alike, have all voiced their disgust at the situation. Meanwhile, the stench is growing infamous, as we’ve learned from one La Jollan, who told the Light that while vacationing in Germany, he mentioned he was from La Jolla, only to hear, “Oh, La Jolla? That place stinks.” Das ist schrecklich! Since January, a group of residents have come together to solve the foul odor problem, locating biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove the excrement, the funds to pay for it, and the work crew to do the job. (One is
Prefered Water Alternative, a nontoxic, biomass agent derived from pomegranate and chia seeds used at dairy farms and zoos for eliminating odiferous smells.) Holding up the process are the governing bureaucracies that do not want to get involved by approving the project. They point fingers, cite possible environmental and legal ramifications, demand permits, and require maps, impact studies and professional consultations.
OUR READERS WRITE
A word about pets in public places A few weeks ago, the La Jolla Light printed a letter that was a complaint from an individual who objected bitterly to the pet dogs that sit under the outdoor lunch tables provided by some of the La Jolla restaurants. Let’s be thankful that people don’t have pet alligators! Patricia Weber La Jollan since 1953
New vision needed to improve La Jolla coastline, sea wall Let’s bring back nature’s beauty to the Ellen Browning Scripps sea wall area. Stand on this sea wall, used by thousands of people every year, and look at the trailers, scaffolding, and painted concrete walls. Now, imagine what could be! This sea wall, created by funds donated by Ms. Scripps (in 1931) is architecturally pleasing but needs new railings and possibly a pebble type of walking surface. The trailers, scaffolding, and painted concrete walls are crumbling and should be removed to bring back this coastline area’s natural beauty. A lifeguard station could be set up nearby and attractively done, similar to what is seen next to Scripps Pier. Let’s bring back the coastline beauty of La Jolla and work together as a community to get this done in the next three years for the enjoyment of everyone. Steve Arndt and Chris Milesis La Jolla
But motivated La Jollans will not be put off any longer. They are scrambling to meet these demands, especially since the recent heat wave has made the stench along the Cove absolutely unbearable some days — bad for people and business! La Jolla’s civic leaders maintain that they’ve done the due diligence required to ensure their plans to clean the poopy rocks will be safe for marine life and protect against cliff erosion.

Scientists find color-coded markers for disease diagnosis of the American Chemical Society. More information at http://bit.ly/NBtbCO
Research Report By LynnE Friedmann
S
ticky plaques of proteins called amyloids mark several different, though related degenerative brain diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and the prion disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob. Symptoms of these disorders overlap but methods to diagnose and monitor them are not very advanced. UC San Diego scientists have devised several new fluorescent probes that change color depending on what type of amyloid they encounter. Thus, one of the probes glows yellow when marking amyloid deposits associated with prion disease, and glows green when binding to amyloids associated with Alzheimer’s disease in tissue samples. Because amyloids accumulate in the eye as well as the brain, the hope is that one day neurodegenerative diseases could be diagnosed with simple eye drops or ointment and an eye exam. — Findings appear in the Journal
Autoimmune response and artery wall inflammation In addition to cholesterol, studies have demonstrated that inflammation plays a role in the plaque buildup (known as atherosclerosis) that is the underlying cause of most heart attacks and strokes. But knowledge of which immune cells are key to this process has been sketchy. Now researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology report on the specific type of immune cells (CD4 T cells) that orchestrate the inflammatory attack on the artery wall. Further, researchers discovered that these immune cells, in mice models, behave as if they “memory” of the antigen that causes them to launch. This is an unexpected and fascinating discovery because it indicates an autoimmune component of heart disease in which the body mistakenly attacks normal cells. Because immune memory is the underlying basis of successful vaccines, in theory, this finding offers the intriguing possibility of one day exploring the development of a vaccine for heart disease. — The study is published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. News release at http://bit.ly/NeT625
Copper and Prion disease Prion diseases — also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) — are a family of rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect both humans and animals (most famous example is “mad cow” disease) leading to progressive neurodegeneration and death. The causative agents of TSEs are prions — abnormal, pathogenic agents able to induce abnormal folding of specific cellular proteins found in the brain. This abnormal protein folding leads to brain damage and the characteristic signs and symptoms of the disease. For many years, researchers have known that prion proteins bind copper. But what wasn’t clear was whether this was a good thing or a bad thing relative to disease progression. Now scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have discovered, in mouse studies, that animals lacking a coppertransport gene living significantly longer when infected with a prion disease than did normal mice. Thus, reducing the body level of copper could delay the onset of prion disease. — Findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Schools cluster group working on ‘autonomy’ plan n Association gears up to finish proposal to increase local control, flexibility
By Kathy Day As the first day of school approaches (Sept. 4) there’s the regular bustle of teachers getting classrooms ready, parents buying school clothes, kids bemoaning the end of summer, and the La Jolla Cluster Association ramping up its activities. Lisa Bonebrake, a parent representative to the group formed in 2010 to speak in a unified voice on matters facing La Jolla’s five public schools, said last week it had a relatively quiet summer. But that doesn’t mean members haven’t been busy behind the scenes looking for ways to get more local control and keep people informed about issues in education. School clusters are groups throughout the district defined by the schools that “feed” to the area high schools. Clusters are led by boards that consist of parents, teachers, staff and administrators from each school. Last year, seven clusters worked together to challenge school trustees when they passed plans to add new “career technical education”
requirements for graduation. Students would have had to begin to make choices regarding career paths in seventh grade, and those already on paths would have had to alter their schedules to fit in new technology requirements. Many principals, career counselors, parents and high school students in the district were totally opposed, Bonebrake said. “After hundreds of parents attended a meeting at Muirlands with district officials about the requirements, the administrators and trustees reviewed this input and revised their thinking.” They rescinded the vote at the next board meeting. “It didn’t hurt that an online petition, developed by the clusters working together, had more than 2,000 signatures within 72 hours after that Muirlands meeting,” she added. “This is the power that comes with communities getting informed and working together.” With that behind them, the La Jolla Cluster board will be staying on top of budget issues and working on a partnership between the La Jolla public schools and the San Diego Unified School District that would

gain “more autonomy and financial control,” she said. Since 2002, La Jolla High has had an autonomy agreement — which is in the midst of being revised — and now the cluster is looking at ways to build on that model, Bonebrake said. Developing such a document has to be teacher-driven because their union, the San Diego Education Association, has a say in teachers’ working environments. Not wanting to impose on teachers during the summer, the cluster essentially suspended work on the agreement, but “a lot of
language has been drafted,” Bonebrake said. Those working on the committee include La Jolla Elementary fifth-grade teacher Melissa Roy Wood and Muirlands teachers Julie Latta and Rob Tindall. The next step will be a meeting with the union and
Clarification In the Aug. 16 article “Village Merchants name new director, find new office site,” it was reported that the proposed new site would be home to “four paid, part-time staff from the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau (ConVis).”
According to ConVis Vice-president of Community Relations, Eric Lund, “We still need to clarify and agree upon a number of details regarding a possible Visitor Center transaction with the La Jolla Village Merchants Association. We really don’t have anything framed up quite yet so details regarding future operations would be premature to state.”

lajollacluster.com Nowhere,” a documentary that tackles the pressures on teens to succeed. Details on the speaker will be announced later, but meanwhile Bonebrake and the other board members are keeping a close eye on two state initiatives as well as a local one that could dramatically affect school budgets later this year. The cluster “does not support or oppose and political issues or candidates” but rather sees its role as one of advocacy, she said. In the past, it has researched and disseminated information on important measures. Bonebreak said she suspects it will do the same this year on the state and local measures, and the next school board race.

its president, Bill Freeman. “This came about because the board asked what the clusters want,” Bonebrake said. “Our answer is we need to ask teachers and principals what they would do if they could change the policies to be freed of some of the responsibilities that take time away from teaching.” While getting an autonomy agreement is foremost on the 2012-13 list of what they want to accomplish, the La Jolla Cluster will also be holding board elections in the fall and, shortly, updating its website. Organizing a speaker series is also on the to-do list. Last year, it brought Lynn O’Shaugnessy in to talk about college admission and financial options. A planned talk by author Richard Louv never came to fruition because of scheduling conflicts, Bonebrake said. The cluster also arranged a second showing of “Race to
Sharon Mason Fleming 1930 – 2012
Our beloved mother, Sharon Mason Fleming, passed away peacefully at her home July 28, 2012, surrounded by all her children. Sharon was born December 25, 1930, in Bayonne, New Jersey, the only child of Mary and Arthur Mason. Growing up, Sharon enjoyed many summers at the camp where she later worked as a counselor. Sharon married Frank Fleming in 1953. The couple had five children: Sherry, Molli, Eavan, Gina and Mikko. The family moved
to La Jolla from New York in 1956. Sharon continued to work while raising her children. Her employment included several years at the La Jolla Light; Public Relations Director for the La Jolla Museum of Art; Office Manager for Dr. Harold Bessell; and secretary with Federal Defenders. For many years Sharon also owned and operated her own writing, editing, and typing business, “Words Work” in La Jolla. Throughout her life, Sharon enthusiastically embraced new interests, friends and experiences. One of Sharon’s greatest passions was theater. An Actor’s Equity member, Sharon pursued acting in both the early and later years of her life. She was also an avid gardener and loved word games. But she detested beets. Preceded in passing by her parents and husband, Sharon is survived by her children; grandchildren, Breanna and Ryan Morin and Jake and Bertie Magit; and son-in-law, Anthony Magit. Steffi, her devoted feline companion,
unexpectedly joined Sharon a few days after her passing. Sharon was, and to us will forever be, a loving, intelligent, funny, sometimes challenging, but always wonderfully interesting person. We miss her greatly. A celebration of her life will be held September 15, 2012. For more information, contact family members or send an email to: Sharonfl2@hotmail.com.

Are you ready for some football? The high school football season is only a week away and all three local high schools will be in action next weekend. La Jolla High School will host Mt. Carmel at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31 while The Bishop’s School will play Clairemont High at Clairemont at 6 p.m. also Aug. 31. La Jolla Country Day will take on Tri-City Christian on Saturday Sept. 1. The Torreys’ game will be played at Santa Fe Christian. n Next week, the Light will preview the Torreys and their quest for a championship season with a senior heavy team full of playmakers.
Chargers suffer another key injury Another preseason win for the Chargers came with a hefty price tag. Not only did San Diego defeat the Dallas Cowboys 28-20 last weekend, it may have cost the team a wide receiver in Vincent Brown. Brown, who had 329 yards receiving last year in his rookie season for the Chargers, underwent surgery Sunday on an ankle he broke in Saturday’s game. He is expected to return in the next two
months. Along with Brown’s injury, the team also lost starting running back Ryan Mathews in the team’s first preseason game, due to a broken clavicle. Mathews is expected to return in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, but could be out as long as Week 7. Up next for the Chargers is a game against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis on Friday. Kickoff is at 5 p.m. and can be seen locally on KFMB Channel 8.

10 QUESTIONS
Architect Michael Wilkes continues his fascination with the country of Spain
MUSIC SOCIETY’S WHITE NIGHTS GALA SALUTES SUMMERFEST
Boogie-Woogie Queen Sue Palmer plays La Jolla Sunday
After our interview with architect Michael Wilkes of La Jolla (pages A14-A15 in this issue) we knew his responses to our 10 QUESTIONS column would be another interesting read. It does not appear his recent retirement will find him at a loss for Michael Wilkes creative passions and pursuits. What brought you to La Jolla? (My wife) Penny and I visited La Jolla many times prior to my graduation from the University of Oregon in 1971. The beaches, weather, and professional opportunities were strong attractions leading us to settle in La Jolla. What might you improve in the area? We have exceptional coastal access in La Jolla. It would be enhanced if Coast Walk extended east along the bluffs connecting the Cove to La Jolla Shores. Who or what inspires you? There are so many sources of inspiration that surround me that I cannot name just one or two. Projects that are beyond my experience challenge me to learn, grow, create and “jump off the deep end.” Architecture students I mentor at the University of Oregon break the bonds that limit my paradigms on design, creativity and the world. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? The first invitees would be architects Santiago Calatrava and Antonio Gaudi. La Jolla Light readers might not be familiar with Calatrava designs, but his Milwaukee Museum is astounding architecture. Other invitees might include playwrights Lee Blessing and August Wilson. I would invite poets, Billy Collins, and my wife, Penny. Sportsmen who I would include are Jimmy Clark, the Lotus Formula One driver from the 1960s, and the legendary middle distance runner Steve Prefontaine. What are your five favorite movies of all time? Or what are you currently reading? We see many more plays than movies. “Body of Water” by Lee Blessing presented by the Old Globe several years ago was an exceptional experience and my favorite play. Currently, I am reading “Vainglorious Sun” by Mark Longo. Recent reads include “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern, “The Piano Tuner” by Daniel Mason, “Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet” by Jamie Ford, “IQ84” by Haruki Murakami and “11/22/63” by Stephen King.

alt.pictureshows marks its 10th year screening shorts in La Jolla
La Jolla Cultural Partners
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt The San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art’s short film fest, alt.pictureshows, will celebrate its 10th anniversary 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30 with close to 30 thought-provoking, funny, and rarely seen shorts from around the world at Sherwood Auditorium, 700 Prospect St., La Jolla. Part film festival and part art happening, the event will also feature some of the greatest alt.hits of the past decade — that is, some of the personal favorites of MCASD film curator Neil Kendricks, who started alt.pictureshows in 2003, when he was a grad student in Television, Film and New Media at SDSU. “From the beginning, I wanted this to be an alternative to the multiplexes,” Kendricks said. “I wanted people to see things they wouldn’t get to see anywhere else, films that are personal statements, not just calling cards.” Kendricks mostly scouts out films and filmmakers at the annual Sundance Film Festival, a world-famous showcase at the institute

Courtesy founded 30 years ago by Robert Redford to encourage new voices in American film. Since alt.pictureshows is pretty much budget-less, it’s not easy to get filmmakers to submit their work for a one-night stand in La Jolla. Participation is by invitation only, and Kendricks does his best to assemble films that share “a common sensibility or atmosphere.” “It’s challenging,” he admits. “I have to be really persuasive, especially since having a film shown in a
museum isn’t necessarily going to help a filmmaker’s career. What draws them in is our format, the ‘physical channel-surfing’ idea.” At alt.pictureshows, you don’t just sit down and watch. Films are shown in five different spaces throughout the museum, grouped under idiosyncratic categories like “Occupy My Heart” and “Delirium Alley.” You’re free to wander from space to space until you find something you connect with, and then stay until you

The evening’s longest short
is one of Kendricks’ favorites: Lucy Walker’s 39-minute Oscar-nominated documentary, “The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom,” an extraordinary look at the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011. “It’s lyrical and profoundly poignant without being depressing,” he said.

When you have a Taste of Thai, you’ll return for more By Kelley Carlson he experience at Taste of Thai is an opportunity to sample the exotic — from the decor to the cuisine. Owned by Val Habbestad, a native of Thailand, and her husband, Art, their upscale Del Mar location is the newest and largest of the two restaurants they operate. The original site, in Hillcrest, was among the first Thai eateries in the San Diego area. “Taste of Thai is run by people who care about customer service and food quality,” said general manager Mark Habbestad. Guests are greeted by women in Thai costume, and seated in one of several areas. The modern dining room features Asian accents such as gold-leaf lotuses on the burgundy walls, a large ginkgo flower image inlaid in the floor, geometric patterns on the ceiling that change color, triangleshaped windows and paper lanterns. About a half-dozen customers can sit at the adjacent bar and sip on Singha beer or a glass of wine, and perhaps listen to the background instrumental music if it’s not a peak dining period. Outside, patrons can relax on a heated patio strung with tiny lights and bordered by rock planters. Food is prepared only after the order is placed, allowing for dishes to be customized. They are made to a person’s spice preference, on a scale of 1 to 10 — with 10 being the hottest — and can be altered to satisfy vegans and vegetarians. To begin their meal, guests can select from a dozen appetizers, including Fried Tofu, Crispy Calamari and Angel Wings, which is boneless chicken stuffed with ground pork, cellophane noodles, black mushroom, carrots and onion and served with a sweet and spicy sauce. Among the salads available are Som Tum, which contains fresh green papaya and dried shrimp; and Thai Salad, with bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, lettuce, cucumber and red onion with peanut dressing. Mark recommends that first-timers try

■P ad Thai Goong Sod Basil, Beans Manchego one of several soups — Tom-Khar, Tom-Yum or Tofu — along with a curry and a noodle dish to balance out the meal. Taste of Thai is especially well known for its Spicy Noodles, with basil leaves, green pepper, chili, garlic and egg. Some of the restaurant’s popular specials include Pork Shanks a la Val, which is two tender pork shanks sautéed with Thai herbs, chili, green pepper corns, garlic, kachai, lemon grass and lime leaves; Ped Krob Kraprao, a crispy, boneless half duck that is oven-baked and topped with chili, garlic and Thai basil sauce; and the 8-ounce grilled Choo-Chee Salmon. Entrees are served with a choice of jasmine or brown rice at no extra charge, Val emphasized. For dessert, she recommends Fried Banana and Coconut Ice Cream. While there isn’t a children’s menu, Taste of Thai is “very accommodating” to food preferences, and crayons and paper are available to keep kids occupied. For those looking for a quieter dining experience, the ideal time to go is between 4 and 5 p.m. As a bonus, dine-in food is 25 percent off during that time Monday through Thursday, as part of happy hour. “We’re so grateful for all the community support over here despite the economic downturn,” Val said.

MADISON GALLERY
mauro perucchetti ...brings together the Conceptual, Minimalist and Pop Art traditions in a painstakingly sculpted body of work made of resin and crystals, chrome and steel. Reliant on symbols to convey meaning, his attractive, lighthearted pieces deal out pointed political and social critique, subtly addressing some of the most pressing issues in contemporary society.
with bold
synthetic colours and pristine, shiny surfaces, Perucchetti’s art appeals to the eyes and to the sense of touch. The ‘jelly babies’ he has made from 2002 onwards show him playing games with childhood associations. In Cloning Factory neat rows of the tiny figures, coloured like blackcurrant and lime, strawberry and orange, are laid out on shelves, with random babies standing up and teetering on the edge. The message is sinister, the imagery ‘sweet’. With pieces in public collections in the United States and Britain and in many private collections, Perucchetti has achieved considerable international acclaim since his late arrival on the art scene. His work has been the subject of solo and group shows across Europe and America, including Blast! held in London and Paris in 2006–2007, Apopalyptic (2009) and Modern Day (2010–2011).
perucchetti
takes society to task for its ridiculous preoccupation with brand names, he attacks distortion of religion, jokes about recycling and addresses addiction. He engages with social concerns without moralising and without the anger of many of his contemporaries. Asked in early 2009 why he makes art, he explained: “I wish I could be a politician to govern fairly, a religious leader to guide pragmatically and a powerful entrepreneur to serve as an example and inspiration to others, but I can’t. However what I can do hopefully is create art that makes people think about global issues.”

T
he misinformation superhighway seems to be traveling at warp speed this year. Several months ago I wrote a column called “Please don’t send anything to everyone you know” about the Internet screeds that the wingnuts of the world forward to everyone in their address book without passing them through even the most rudimentary filter of credibility. Ironically, two days after that column appeared, our county’s major daily printed a Letter to the Editor that had alarm bells going off in my head, and those of a host of other readers as well. Normally these things take about four seconds to track down on snopes.com, but this one took almost 30. It appears that as part of its budget cuts, the county rag has done away with fact checkers, a point that was made in a second Letter to the Editor by a reader who documented that not a single “fact” in the first letter writer’s missive was even remotely true. But the paper had already given legitimacy and credibility to an ugly urban legend. As the oft-quoted saying goes: We are entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts. Why did so many people miss that memo? What baffles me is that urban legends, mythical stories, and general folklore are so astonishingly easy to spot if the brain is switched on at even Energy Saving levels. These stories are more formulaic than romance novels: Start out with a much distorted statement, pad with patent delusions, cite bogus page numbers and dates, misquote a prominent citizen to give it credence, and send to one’s entire distribution list with the subject line in all caps. Voila! Last week, for example, I received an Internet communication from an
otherwise intelligent welleducated La Jollan that had been sent to, apparently, everyone he knew; the previous distribution lists were stacked up below it, none of which had fewer than 80 names on them. The topic — a current favorite in the world of Internet hysteria — was Obamacare, and more specifically, the Ethics Panels (aka Death Squads) that Obama has allegedly created to alleviate the country’s burden of that cumbersome group, old people. Of course, the first thing that made me the taddiest bit suspicious was that the originator was illiterate. “You may not be there yet, but what comes next [sic] our children? If your [sic] are handy capped [oy sic]? This effects [sic] everyone we know.” OK, so not everyone has access to them new fangled spell checkers. The article goes on to quote a woman doctor in Tennessee (I’m guessing by now she’s moved to an unlisted country and changed professions) noting that she is a “real person” and giving a link to her medical group’s online listing. As with most such Internet info-mationals, a whole lot of material having nothing to do with anything she actually said is then inserted, including the telltale internet idiocy nebulous statement: “If you needed a lifesaving operation, Medicare will not provide coverage anymore after 2013 if you are 75 or over.” Another popular Obamacare rant I’ve received from several curiously uninquisitive towns folk this year maintains that Obamacare will require the microchipping of all Americans with their medical and bank information and even a tracking device by March 23, 2013. (Alarm bell No. 1: Like the federal government could ever be that efficient? Alarm bells No. 2-50 to follow.) So here’s Inga’s short guide on how to recognize Internet — or Letter to the Editor — insanity: 1) Did the writer finish third grade? 2) If the bells going off in your head sound like klaxons, maybe it’s not true. 3) If there is even a single
phrase in capital letters accompanied by more than one exclamation mark (“TOGETHER WE CAN STOP THIS!!!!!!”), YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED!!!!! 4) Does the sender sent it to 150 of his or her closest friends? 5) The only thing a photo proves is that the sender has Photoshop. For example, a heavily circulated photo shows Romney standing in front of an American flag with five children whose Tshirts spell out the word “Money.” It was actually a digitally altered Associated Press photo; the kids’ shirts actually spelled Romney with the “R” being the Romney campaign logo and the letters “o” and “m” on the kids’ shirts reversed. 6) Just because a “real” person is quoted doesn’t mean they actually said anything attributed to them. Check it out yourself on snopes.com. (Yes, YOU.) 7) While celebrities — and particularly politicians — say all manner of illconsidered things, consider the source. The text of a hilariously clueless speech by Romney that has made the rounds quotes him as saying that he could relate to black people because his ancestors once owned slaves. (They didn’t.) The “speech” was from a spoof article on the satirical website FreeWoodPost.com, which, incidentally, proclaims prominently that it is a satirical website and they are just funning you. (Another recent post: “Romney to supporters at rally: ‘Everyone here gets a car!’”) As for the chronicallyoverused and abused Forward button, I think it should be programmed to give you three sequential prompts before it will actually allow your screed to contaminate the ether. As in: 1) C’mon, really? 2) “Are you SURE some yahoo didn’t send you this? 3) “Do you want people to think you’re a yahoo, too?” Of course, it won’t help. But I’ve done my best. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light. Reach her by e-mail at inga47@san.rr.com

FROM SUE PALMER, B1 you want to get up and shake.” She’s regularly up there shaking, at the piano or electronic keyboard, just like the fans in her audiences. “My biggest job is to have fun,” she said, “because when anyone sees me having fun, it’s catching. If I can enjoy myself, the crowd can come along if they wish.” There’s no wishing about it. They come along, and they keep coming along. When Palmer’s not playing local gigs, such as her regular Wednesday nights at Croce’s downtown, she’s swingin’ on the road. “I just got back from two festivals, one in Alabama and another in Michigan,” she said. “They hadn’t heard from Sue Palmer for 30 years, and they just went nutty. There must not be that many people doing this.” Well, at least not doing it the Sue Palmer way, which is all out. For example, she’s on her fourth Roland keyboard. “I always beat ‘em to death,” she said. While she took piano lessons for five years as a child, Palmer admits to being “pretty uneducated” in terms of formal musical training. “But I come from a musical family, so it was expected that you play. I quit taking lessons and started to play by ear.” By the time she set out on her own and began compiling a repertoire and getting gigs, “I got so busy I had to quit my day job. (Make that jobs — everything from toting the mail to working at the welfare department.) “I always played music but sometimes I’d run out of money and I’d have to go back. “But,” she added, “I haven’t had a day job since 1987.” When you’re the Queen of Boogie Woogie, after all, who needs a day job?
Which San Diego architects do
you admire? There are four San Diego architects who I find inspirational. Clearly my partner, Homer Delawie, FAIA, and his mentor, Lloyd Ruocco, FAIA are important influences on my work. Equally important was Roy Drew, FAIA, and Bob Mosher, FAIA. I enjoyed the good fortune of having Bob and Dale Nagle, FAIA, serve as mentors on my recent design for the Tamarack Apartments at the historic Muir College Campus at UCSD. Bob and Dale designed Muir College and any new project there deserved their insight.

Woronicz embarks on a lofty odyssey of the imagination in ‘An Iliad’
Let’s Review
By diana Saenger
H
enry Woronicz’s portrayal of The Poet in “An Iliad,” provides La Jolla Playhouse audiences with one of the most profound performances staged there to date. The subject of his tour-deforce piece is the ancient Greek historian Homer’s epic poem about the Trojan War that contains 15,000 lines. Like its delivery in 8th century B.C. Greece, Woronicz takes on the role of a singer who passionately “inhabits”
many of the war’s characters to tell the multitudes gathered (in this case, the audience) of its atrocities. Through anger, pain, curiosity, gentleness and earnest desire to educate, Woronicz is prone to laughter or tears in describing the events. Interspersed between his recountings of the Trojan War are references to the many wars the world has known. At one point, Woronicz falls breathlessly into a chair and with machine gun-like delivery, recites the names of 144 wars on Earth by their timeline. It’s a mindblowing moment revealing the depth and ingenuity in this adaptation by Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson of Robert Fagles’ translation of “An Iliad.” With just a minimal set, Woronicz manages to create images in the minds of the

CELEBRATIONS Happy 102nd Birthday
Betty Allan
Lilly’s Villa, a skilled eldercare assisted living home, is honored to announce the 102nd Birthday Celebration for Betty Allan, a dear friend and resident of our facility. Many members of her family will travel to La Jolla to join the celebration here at Lilly’s Villa on August 29, 2012. Every day we are blessed to see her smile, feel her love and learn from her faith. When we ask her to share the secret of a long and beautiful life, her answer is always, “Just to be here every day.” She loves to spend long hours in our garden, feel the sun on her skin, and listen to the songs of our birds. She also enjoys telling us jokes and funny stories about her life. She adores her two children, Rick and his wife, Juanette, of La Jolla, and Deborah of Hawaii. She talks with them every day and shares her happiness to hear their voices and share their company. Her son, Bruce, has passed away. Liliana, Betty,
Betty and her husband, John, were members of La Jolla Presbyterian Church and both sang in the choirs Music has always been at the center of Betty’s life. After graduating from UCLA, Betty became part of a trio – The Rhythmettes. They were popular background singers for Bing Crosby, Dinah Shore, Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, to name a few. The Rhythmettes also performed on the soundtrack of the Wizard of Oz and Betty was the voice of one of the Munchkins. In their earlier days, they sang in Disney’s Three Little Pigs and other musical cartoons. When she remembers all the years that she performed for large audiences, her beautiful, sparkly blue eyes have a new vivacity. Thank you Betty for allowing all of us to be part of this special time in your life. With all our love, Liliana Binner Ph.D. Director Juanette, Rick

The spellbound audience sees The Poet inhabit the anger of Achilles as he plans his attack on Hector, or as Hector, who is obsessed with defending his home of Troy. Woronicz could be Hector’s father begging Achilles for his dead son’s body, or one of the gods — Zeus … Athena. He’s the observer standing on the beach vividly describing the thousands of ships with thousands of Achaean men aboard, who are ready to lead the charge against Troy. During his many rantings, The Poet often begs for his muses to infuse him with substance. Brian Ellingsen portrays one of those muses as The Musician. With Mark Bennett’s original music and sound design, The Musician stands on a stairway in the theater, and either on his own or by invitation from The Poet through a wave of his hand, draws his bow across his giant double bass to add an appropriate sound to the story telling — like when he mimicks the thundering sound of horse hooves as the Poet describes an attack. Woronicz and Ellingsen create a beautiful marriage of a truly unique presentation about ancient times with the underlying message that bad things never seem to end.
The Poet (Henry Woronicz) and his muse, The Musician (Brian Ellingsen), retell Homer’s poem in ‘An Iliad’ at La Jolla Playhouse. Keven Berne

Paperdoll exhibit evokes thoughts of 1890s and 1980s By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt A crowd of almost 700 turned out for the San Diego Museum of Contemporary Arts’ Thursday Night Thing on Aug. 8, which featured “Margaret Noble: 44th and Landis,” a new exhibit that revisits the artist’s childhood neighborhood of City Heights. A mix of the neighborhood’s Victorian roots and the 1980s urban pop that formed the background for Noble’s upbringing, the installation is made up of hundreds of paperdoll-like cutouts representing Victorian styles and childhood icons. They are hung in rows that suggest city blocks, and visitors are encouraged to stroll through
them, navigating the neighborhood created by the artist’s blend of memory and fantasy the way they would navigate an actual city. “44th and Landis” was made possible by a San Diego
Foundation Creative Catalyst grant which Noble received last summer, and she and a crew of eight have been working on it ever since. “Every paperdoll has a story,” she said. “The show

Athenaeum gala ‘goes’ to Paris The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will present its 23rd annual gala, a “Midnight in Paris,” 6:3011:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7 at 1008 Wall St., La Jolla. Each year since 1990, the gala has celebrated a theme with artistic and imaginative decor. This year, organizers will offer “an incomparable Parisian party and a delectable French dinner, catered by the La Jolla Hyatt Regency.” Following dinner, guests may wander through Le Marcheaux Puces for a silent auction and participate in an after-party with dancing and live entertainment. Gala guests get into the spirit of the theme with extravagant and interesting costumes. The gala is the largest annual fundraiser and society event for the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, La Jolla’s oldest cultural institution and Southern California’s only membership library.

FROM NOBLE, B10 dance and theater collaborations. She is now teaching project-based digital art and sound at High Tech High, a charter school in Point Loma, and several of her students helped with the preparation of “44th and Landis.” “When I left for Chicago, I swore I’d never come back to San Diego, but I keep coming back,” Noble said. “It’s really nice to be warm, and now I’m committed to my teaching, and entrenched in my neighborhood here.” This fall, she will be giving two solo electronic music and voice performances at MCASD, and in February, she’ll be part of “The Collector,” a performance including film, music, and puppet theater that will be coming to The Loft at UCSD. There’s an “experiential soundscape,” emanating from handmade paper speakers, that accompanies “Margaret Noble: 44th and Landis,” but at the TNT event, the sounds were barely audible, to me at least. I plan to return for one of her performances to see what I can hear.

The Seven Deadly Sins, aka the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, is a classification of objectionable vices (part of Christian ethics) that have been used since early times to educate and instruct about fallen humanity’s tendency to sin. The currently recognized version of the sins are usually given as wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. Beginning in the early 14th century, the popularity of the Seven Deadly Sins as a theme among European artists of the time eventually helped to ingrain them in many areas of culture and consciousness throughout the world. — wikipedia
