By Pat Sherman Following the abrupt resignation of La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) president Cindy Greatrex — and the reported, subsequent resignations of the organization’s second vice-president, treasurer and secretary — the LJTC has planned a special meeting to address what some trustees are referring to as a council reorganization. The meeting is open to the public and will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 4 at the La Jolla Rec Center on Prospect Street. “As the LJTC is reorganizing and preceding to staff community leaders’ positions, we do it with grace and respect for La Jolla,” said trustee Mary Soriano, via e-mail. “The LJTC has so much potential to be a sound voice of sound decisions on See Council, A7

What’s holding up Torrey Pines Road project? n The $26.5 million Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project, approved in July 2011, has residents wondering if it hit a roadblock, since after one year, the only action taken to improve public safety along the busy thoroughfare has been the installation of two radar speed indicators in January by Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office.
BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS For more than a decade, committees have been rallying for project plans to slow traffic and improve pedestrian and bicycle access along Torrey Pines Road. To that end, the city has received $1.1 million in federal stimulus and transportation sales tax funds. But no work has been done on the project’s first approved phase, “Segment 4,” which begins at Little Street to La Jolla Shores Drive and includes the placement of a sidewalk, fence, median and plantable retaining wall. “We have not heard of any updates since seven months ago when
Sherry Nooravi, of Residents for Torrey Pines Safety, points to the curbside mess residents say should already be a sidewalk. Shelli DeRobertis the V-calms were installed,” said Sherry Nooravi, spokeswoman for an ad hoc Torrey Pines Corridor neighborhood group. “So many of us have been working on this and
keeping in touch with our city officials, but the dangers on the roadway continue.” Robert McCue lives on Amalfi Street, on the south side of Torrey Pines
Road, and remembers when the road was a quiet, two-lane highway in the 1950s and people could easily ride their bicycles to The Village, he said. McCue has been lobbying for improvements on Torrey Pines Road for several years. He said he’s been trying to get an update on the project, but his last two calls to the city have not been returned. Lightner’s office replied to the La Jolla Light’s inquiries, and through her representative, Erin Demorest, said the city has the funding to perform two sidewalk projects in Segment 4, but the plans must be designed. The city received $600,000 from two TransNet funds installments in 2011 and 2012 that will be used to remove sidewalk obstructions along the north side of Torrey Pines Road from Prospect Place to La Jolla Shores Drive. The money will also cover costs to install a new sidewalk between Calle Juela and Roseland on the south side of Torrey Pines Road, Demorest said in an e-mail.

The beach cottage at 7740 Ivanhoe Ave. is one of only two that remain from an original cluster of eight cottages that preservationists sought to save. The rest were demolished after the city determined they had lost too much of their architectural integrity. photos BY Pat Sherman
The beach cottage at 7735 Ivanhoe Ave. was determined by Historical Resources Board staff to be potentially historic and eligible for designation (though the developer did not choose to pursue designation). It is one of the only two remaining. It wil be incorporated into a new residential development at the site.
The cottage at 7762 Bishops Lane was granted historic designation last month by the city’s Historic Resources Board, despite a lack of information on the architect, builder or the cottage’s provenance. The owner is appealing the HRB’s determination to the San Diego City Council.
La Jolla’s beach cottages: An issue of integrity n Scratching their heads over what truly constitutes an “historical” designation, La Jolla homeowners, developers, architects and historical society members must take their chances with San Diego’s Historic Resources Board.
By Pat Sherman erhaps nowhere else in San Diego has the conflict between development and historic preservation been as pronounced as it has been in La Jolla during the past four decades — specifically, when it comes to protecting what remains of La Jolla’s original, beach bungalow architecture. Built primarily between the 1880s and 1920s, these simply constructed, single-story “shacks” were characterized by low-pitched roofs, wood siding and open front porches, usually facing the ocean. Today, La Jolla’s few remaining beach cottages sit in the shadow of dense residential and commercial development, spared from oblivion by sympathetic owners or via a nod from the National Register of Historic Places,
P
the State Register of Historical Resources or San Diego’s Historic Resources Board, the latter of which has the ultimate say in whether a property receives historic designation (though property owners may appeal a ruling to the city council). However, both developers and preservationists are growing increasingly perplexed as to how the city’s Historic Resources Board (HRB) and, specifically, its staff, determine which architecture is worthy of preserving. According to Kelley Stanco, an HRB staff senior planner, the HRB staff will first determine if a historic resource exists, based on a site-specific historic report. The reports are required any time a property owner seeks a city permit to demolish or significantly alter a building that is 45 years old or older. Based on the report, if staff determines that a property does not have sufficient historic merit, the issue will not be sent to the HRB for possible designation. Linda Marrone, a historic real estate specialist and HRB member, said the historic reports can be crafted in such a way as to easily argue against designation.
Gated compound...
“If someone really wants to tear down a house, it’s easy to make an argument (for that) in a lot of ways with these older homes because they’ve gone through (so many) changes over the years,” Marrone said. One of the most glaring losses for local preservationists in recent history was the demolition of Windemere, the earliest of famed architect Irving Gill’s La Jolla beach cottages. Built on Prospect Street in 1894, the cottage was moved to Virginia Way in the 1920s. Though preservationists and historians argued that the Windemere should have qualified for designation under several of the HRB’s six determining criterion (only one is needed to justify designation), the structure was denied designation on the grounds that it suffered a “loss of integrity,” meaning too many of its original features had been altered through the years. It is an argument that is frequently and easily employed by city staff, property owners or developers to justify demolition of potentially historic structures. La Jollan Diane Kane, who conducted

historical surveys for the city before her recent retirement, now serves as a trustee on the board of the California Preservation Foundation and is working to update an inventory of La Jolla’s historic structures, last comprised by Wayne Donaldson in 2003. Kane said she feels in many instances HRB staff is overusing the integrity argument to deny designation. “There’s been a big shift over there in the past 20 years,” she said. “From a staff perspective, they’ve really tightened up on the issue of integrity to the point where we are losing a huge amount (of historic structures) on the premise that they have lost their integrity. I would say they have become too strict in that regard.” Kane cited last year’s demolition of a home at 6604 Muirlands Drive designed by architect William Kesling in 1946. Kesling’s buildings represent some of the earliest examples of modernist architecture in La Jolla. “He was doing some pretty spectacular stuff that no one in San Diego had seen,”

From Cottages, A3 Kane said. “This was a pivotal work. The La Jolla Historical Society argued that it was significant, not just for La Jolla, but for this architect’s career.” What the owners argued to be changes resulting in a loss of integrity, Kane views as “routine maintenance,” which she said is inevitable when dealing with a property built more than 45 years ago, such as the replacement of cracked tiles or bricks. “Properties wear over time,” she said. “The owners would just repair it. … It wasn’t a perfect match, but it was the best they could do.” Most of La Jolla’s beach cottages were built for seasonal occupation, and required later upgrades to make them “comfortable and functional” for year-round residence, Kane said. “They’re not taking into account that these properties have been there for a very long time and are part of the fabric of who we are as a beach community,” she said. “They’re trying to compare them to what’s going on in other parts of the city.” (The city will say), ‘We’ve got A bunch of them in another part of the city; what do we need these for?’” Kane said city staff is even more conservative when considering a structure’s integrity than what is outlined in state and federal preservation guidelines. “I think what triggered a lot of that change was the local discussion over the Mills Act,” she said, noting the state program that offers a tax break to the owners of historic properties for restoring and maintaining the structure’s historicity. “The program was wildly successful,” Kane

This early 1900s property on Playa del Sur in WindanSea was determined to have suffered a significant loss of architectural integrity by Historic Resources Board staff, and is slated for demolition, pending approval of a coastal development permit. PAT SHERMAN
said. “Then there was a concern that all these rich people in La Jolla don’t need this tax break.” WindanSea historicity denied In late 2010, HRB staff determined that adjoining WindanSea properties built in the early 1900s on Playa del Sur also suffered a loss of integrity, and approved the owner’s request to demolish the structures and rebuild a duplex.
Though a notice of the owner’s intent to demolish was posted on the property in June, for now it remains unscathed while the owner seeks a required coastal development permit. According to Stanco, the property owner commissioned the required historical report from local attorney and historian Scott Moomjian. HRB staff agreed with the report’s findings, that too many of the original features had been altered, including replace-
Dubious designation? Carol Olten, a historian with the La Jolla Historical Society, cited two adjacent cottages on Eads Avenue and Bishops Lane (built in 1913 and 1915), which the HRB determined to be historically significant at its July meeting. However, Olten said she feels these were far less worthy of designation than the properties on Playa Del Sur or Windemere. They’re “two little falling-apart, munchkin-like cottages,” with no record of their architect and no discernible architecture of note, Olten said. “I don’t see the great significance that these cottages have … despite being old. There’s been a great deal of inconsistency in how the city designates cottages.” Matthew Welsh, a La Jolla-based artist and designer with experience in historic restoration, concurred. “They’re representative of that time, but again you can find those all up and down the coast of California,” he said. “They’re nothing special.” According to Stanco, the Eads Avenue and Bishops Lane cottages received designation under “criterion A,” for their age and association with early beach cottage development in La Jolla (despite arguments from the developer and architects that the architecture was insignificant and the structures did not face the ocean). The HRB unanimously approved its staff’s

The designation has since been appealed to the city council. A hearing date will be determined once the applicant is ready to proceed, Stanco said. Asked for information about the cottages’ historicity by Deborah Marengo of Marengo Morten Architects (which was hired to design a planned replacement triplex on the site), the La Jolla Historical Society had trouble finding information on the cottages, and told Marengo it would probably not take a stance on them. However, during the HRB’s July meeting, historical society board member Connie Branscomb said the cottages were on the society’s historic walking tour and that the historical society strongly supported their designation. “We just knew that these buildings were old and significant,” Branscomb told the HRB. Architect Claude-Anthony Marengo and attorney Scott Moomjian said they were “a little shocked” that the historical society had taken a stance, given the lack of information on the properties’ provenance and the society’s seeming “disinterest” in them prior to the meeting. “Us being opposed to this is really, in essence, not just for the development, but for the continuity of knowing the process for the historical resources board, working together to make development and historical preservation work seamlessly,” Marengo said. Moving forward, Kane and Marrone said they hope to see the HRB and its staff place more emphasis on the age of a structure and the significance of its architecture to the area when making decisions on whether to confer a historic designation.

Getting Into – Not Bent Out of Shape Many well-intentioned exercisers could be leaving their gym workouts less healthy than when they arrived. A national study published by the American Journal of Sports Medicine indicates that weight-room injuries increased almost 50% between 1990-2007. Researchers found the largest increase of injury in people aged 45 or older and the incidence of injury rose faster among women. Although weight-room injuries are still less common than those from running, cycling or competitive sports, precautions must be taken to remain injury free in the gym. When lifting weights, good technique is one of the most important ways to avoid injury. The physical therapists at Ability Rehab can help you get started safely and determine appropriate goals for your weight-training regimen. We will design a customized plan based on your age, physical condition, existing biomechanical deficits and/or areas of weakness. Our comprehensive programs include: orthopedics & sports medicine, pre & post operative rehab, neurological therapy, and balance & fall prevention. Call us today to schedule an evaluation! P.S. Don't hold your breath while lifting weights or working on resistance machines - doing so can cause fainting or a spike in blood pressure. Exhale during the lift, and inhale when lowering.
San Diego Police Department Robbery Unit detectives released composite sketches of the suspect in a home invasion robbery at a La Jolla residence on Hillside Drive. On Aug. 1 at about 6:15 p.m., a female real estate agent was accosted inside a home just after she finished showing it to a prospective buyer. The suspect entered the unlocked front door and pointed a long gun at the real estate agent. He asked if the home had a safe and demanded jewelry. He forced the agent to open drawers in the master bedroom where he stole jewelry items. He took the agent’s cell phone and ordered her to remain in the room. As the suspect exited the house, he encountered the homeowner in the driveway. The homeowner saw the suspect carrying his wife’s fur coats and yelled at him.

DeMaio outlines ‘blue economy’ plan By Pat Sherman District 5 City Councilman and Republican mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio made a stop at Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores Monday morning, Aug. 27, to promote his plan for boosting the region’s ecotourism industry via its beaches and canyons, and for reducing storm water runoff. “Obviously, surfing is one of the biggest contributors (to the local ecotourism economy),” DeMaio said. “My goal is to emphasis why the economy and the environment go hand-in-hand.” DeMaio said the city is not doing an “effective job” of storm water management. Incorporating “vegetation strips” into roadway projects could capture runoff from rainstorms better and more cost-effectively, he said. At present the city provides little incentive to conserve water, DeMaio added. “The City of San Diego has a flawed waterrate structure. In the past drought … residents did the right thing — they cut their water usage by 10 percent, mainly through landscaping changes, but they did not see a savings on their water bills. In fact, their water bills were higher.” DeMaio cited the region’s oceanic research institutes and the development of a planned desalination plant in Carlsbad as examples of the region’s “homegrown” blue economy, adding that San Diego can make a positive impact on the environment “using existing funding levels or lower” by embracing innovation and technology. Asked by the La Jolla Light about the impact on La Jolla’s ecotourism caused by the stench emanating from bird and marine mammal waste on rocks at La Jolla Cove, DeMaio said it is “more than ridiculous” and “just foolhardy” for the city not to allow community members to cleanse the rocks via some of the remedies they’ve proposed.
Mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio spoke about his plan for building a ‘blue economy’ during a press conference at La Jolla Shores Aug. 27. Pat Sherman
“I think we need to actually go ahead and allow for the use of some of the cleaning fluids,” DeMaio said. “I think that they’re taking an overly cautious approach banning certain cleansers (that) are naturally based and all-organic. Then, of course, the water thing. It’s not logical that you wouldn’t be able to use water spray on there. “When you have your customer asking you to take action on a problem, you need to figure out how to solve it,” he said. “Don’t just say no, because the problem festers.” DeMaio also told the Light he does not support the year-round seal rope being voted on this week by the San Diego Planning Commission, nor does he favor creating permit regulations for SCUBA and dive instructors who conduct their business at La Jolla Shores, as was implemented for Kayak school operators. “I’m actually looking for more economic activity in the city and less regulation, less cost of business,” he said. “I actually love it when I seem more operators coming in and providing great services to visitors and residents alike. I think we’re looking at the wrong point of view when we try taxing and regulating our businesses to death.”

FROM Council, A1 behalf of (the) La Jolla community, our home.” At the beginning of the Town Council’s Aug. 9 meeting, Greatrex announced that she was stepping down as council president, after leading the organization for just four months. Greatrex, who also has served as president of Indpenedent La Jolla, presided over the duration of the August LJTC meeting, saying only she felt that first vice-president Ken King is “a fantastic businessman and leader” and “the right man for the job” of council president. LJTC trustees must vote to ratify King’s role as president if he is to assume the position. However, several anonymous sources close to the La Jolla Light have questioned whether King is fit for the role. King, a Republican businessman and owner of San Diego Pools, has missed three LJTC meetings since April, as well as four of its executive committee meetings and the council’s regular SunSetter events. King ran twice for Congress, once during a 2006 special election to replace former Congressman Randal “Duke” Cunningham (a race King eventually dropped out of) and in 2008, when he ran unsuccessfully to succeed fellow Republican Duncan Hunter in the 52nd District. King is past president of both the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club and Alpine Kiwanis Club, and currently serves as treasurer of the

Rotary Club of La Jolla. Sources close to the Light have suggested that the trustee tensions stem from former LJTC and Promote La Jolla President Rick Wildman’s notions that the makeup of the town council was not influential enough, and that King, whom Wildman knows through Republican party circles, would make a better president. Wildman told the Light that as LJTC president he strove to keep organization nonpartisan (in accordance with its bylaws), and thought Greatrex would make an ideal president. Asked why King had missed this summer’s town council meetings, Wildman said King’s role as “president” of the Rotary Club’s Foundation presented a conflict of interest, as meetings fell on the same day and time as LJTC meetings.

Nooravi, center, stops traffic at Torrey Pines Road and Amalfi Street so a couple can get across with their bicycles. ‘From right here to Prospect Street is the most dangerous part of our entire trip,” said Matt Rauber, right, while waiting to cross the road.

FROM TORREY PINES, A1 “It will take approximately one year to do the design for these two things, which is why the construction on these two sidewalk improvements is scheduled to start in 2013,” Demorest said. Segment 4, of the four phases that make up the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project, has a price tag of $5.8 million and will be the first to undergo improvements beginning at Little Street to La Jolla Shores Drive. The city has $220,00 remaining from the $500,000 federal stimulus received in 2009 for the original preliminary design of the entire project, and the remaining money is being used to begin work on the
design of Segment 4, according to Demorest. After the sidewalk improvements are completed, the remaining work for Segment 4 will include the installation of a median, bike lanes, landscaping, new fencing on the north side of Torrey Pines Road, reconfiguration of the lane widths, a retaining wall, and more — but funding hasn’t been identified for the design and implementation of this project portion yet, she said. The V-calm speed indicators are on Torrey Pines Road at Viking Way and Amalfi Street, along the inbound and outbound routes to The Village. They cost $7,000 each and were purchased with savings
from Councilmember Lightner’s office budget, according to Demorest. The signs are programmed to read speeds above the 35 mph speed limit, and flash speeds detected above 45 mph in attempt to calm traffic on the busy thoroughfare. Demorest said there was also some transverse pavement striping installed on Torrey Pines Road between Viking Way and Coast Walk in November 2009. The striping is intended to give motorists the illusion they are speeding, with the hope they will slow down, she said. But the problem for some residents won’t be solved until the project is complete.
Resident Dave Duea has lived in La Jolla for 20 years and said he and his wife live on Sierra Mar Drive and there is no way to cross the street to go to The Shores or The Village. “We have to walk up to Hillside Drive, five blocks, to cross at Prospect Street, ” Duea said, advocating for a crosswalk at Hillside Drive and Torrey Pines. “That’s all we really want is a crosswalk and a flashing yellow sign,” he said. “In reality, we as residents are locked into taking our vehicles anywhere we go in town,” he said. Segment 2 of the project includes a possible signal in the area of Coast Walk to Viking Way
and Hillside Drive. Kathleen Ferrier, policy manager for Walk San Diego, an organization that helps communities receive funding to produce walkable streets, helped the Bird Rock neighborhood receive the roundabouts on La Jolla Boulevard in 2008. She said that crossing the street is often not considered on a long corridor such as Torrey Pines Road. “We advocate a crossing at every 300 to 350 feet,” she said. The city has a threshold that requires crossing every 600 feet. “I wear a traffic jacket and carry a light to go to dinner in The Shores,” Duea said.

New scoreboard, walkway greet La Jolla High class of 2013 n Principal Dana Shelburne is busy with staffing and enrollment figures
By Kathy Day La Jolla High will start the new school year on Sept. 4 with a full contingent of teachers, but Principal Dana Shelburne said there’s still some question about whether they will still be there when the district takes its enrollment count in late September. Once San Diego Unified School District trustees and the San Diego Education Association reached an agreement on contract concessions that saved 1,000 teachers’ jobs, Shelburne knew that he would have the same number of positions the school had when the 2011-12 year ended. But now, he wondered aloud, “What if not enough students come back?” And on top of that, there’s the uncertainty about what happens if voters don’t approve one of the two tax measures – Propositions 30 and 38 — on the November ballot that would raise funds for education. If that happens, district officials have said it will mean reducing the school year by up to 14 days and teacher salaries would be cut by a corresponding amount. Shelburne knows the answer to the first scenario — cut teachers — and fears the effects of the second. The student count and budget drama have put a crimp on assigning teachers to classes, he said. He has been asking himself whether to assign them all and hope that enrollment
La Jolla High School Principal Dana Shelburne surveys concrete and brick work completed over the summer to repair damage from massive tree roots. Kathy Day comes up to where it was at the end of last year. Or does he leave a couple of teachers floating without specific assignments in case it doesn’t? At the end of last week, the district was set to ask principals what their needs are based on anticipated enrollment, which in LJHS’s case looks to be down about 30 students, Shelburne said. But he won’t really know until the students sit down in class. Some may be headed to
charter or private schools; others may have moved. Or the opposite could happen: Parents might not be able to afford the private tuition or charter schools didn’t work out. “It’s hard to track demographics,” the principal said. “We just don’t know. We ask parents to make appointments … but people just don’t call and say ‘I’m leaving the district.” So he’s building a scheduled based on needing 55 teachers, but there’s a possibility the district may tell him to take back more
and he has to figure out how to squeeze them out of his allotted budget. And then on the second Friday in September, the district takes a head count, followed by another at the end of the month. That’s when he may have to make adjustments. “If I have two teachers I may not be able to keep, should I put them in the library so there’s no impact on students or (in case) I get to keep them, should I put them on the schedule now?” he said. Either way it means changing schedules and “disrupting kids,” he said. While having additional teachers means smaller classes “either case is not good.” As of last week, he still hadn’t decided which way to go even as seniors were set to start registering on Friday. “I have made the master schedule and altered it and altered it again,” he said, noting that students would see a tentative schedule when they arrive for class signups. “Our job is to keep all this as invisible to the kids as possible.” Making class assignments also gets the added challenge of the district’s “post-andbid” process in which a principal posts an opening and teachers bid on the job. They just filled one spot for an English teacher on Aug. 23 and have requests in for an American Sign Language teacher and a special education teacher, as well as two counselors — which would get them back to the three they ended the year with. In good times,

SPOTLIGHT ON LOCAL BUSINESSES La Jolla Vacuum: Full sales and service at competitive prices
La Jolla Vacuum has been in business for 55 years.
By Marti Gacioch La Jolla Vacuum, a family-owned and operated business since 1957, stands strong in its decades of quality sales and service in the La Jolla community. Owner Kerry Lee and his son, Jordan, work as a team at their Pearl Street store. Kerry focuses primarily on sales while Jordan handles servicing and repairs. Jordan, who has been working as his dad’s partner for seven years, recalls his childhood memories of visiting the store in the summertime. “I was the kind of kid who used to take all my toys apart to see how they worked, so it isn’t surprising that I’m now servicing and repairing vacuums at the shop,” Jordan said. “We represent that old-school family mentality of a small business.” As a full-service store, La Jolla Vacuum offers new vacuum sales, trade-ins and replacement parts, including vacuum bags and belts, accessories and attachments. “Our prices are at — or below — bigbox store prices or Internet prices, and we have a 90-day price guarantee even after you buy it,” Kerry Lee said. “People may not realize that a small business in La Jolla can be competitive, but there’s nothing
&Marti GeLLenS
that can be further from the truth. We own the building, so there is no overhead pressure for us to charge customers more.” La Jolla Vacuum also offers a good selection of “pre-owned” vacuum cleaners with new warranties, so customers can save money by buying a high-end product at about half the price, according to Lee. To complement its stock, the store carries a full range of cleaning products that people need to maintain their hardwood and tile floors, as well as remove spots on carpets. The Lees recently began offering the popular European line of Miele appliances, including dishwashers, washers and dryers and coffee makers. “We’re really a dying-breed style of business, a place where customers can go to knowledgeable people who know their trade and don’t just give them an 800-number when they have a problem,” Lee said. “We have a commitment to service the product, so people have a one-stop shop for sales or repairs, and all for at the same or less-cost than what they would find it for anywhere else in the country.” — La Jolla Vacuum, 520 Pearl St., is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

La Jolla Visitor Center assists 34,000 guests each year BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS The closet-sized outdoor La Jolla Visitor Center, 7966 Herschel Ave. in the heart of The Village, is big in the service department, recording 34,253 walk-up guests last year, an increase of 1 percent from the previous year. The center has been a community staple for 10 years. It is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and staffed by eight volunteers and four part-time employees, who work the booth in pairs — rain or shine. C.J. Middendorf has several years’ experience helping visitors who stop by the portable counter on wheels. “Most of the time, the question we get from visitors is, ‘We’re here, now what should we do?’ ” Middendorf said. In response, she highlights a route on a paper map to give them a walking path to the ocean. “The top thing most want to do is walk along the coastline and see the caves. I send them across the street and suggest they start with the seals, and I talk about the seawall.” About half of the people ask about the seals, and others inquire about the art galleries, she said.
Rotary to present mayoral candidates in debate Tuesday The Rotary Club of La Jolla will host mayoral candidates Carl DeMaio and Bob Filner at its next lunch meeting from noon to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4 at La Valencia Hotel on Prospect Street. For tickets, call Ron Jones at (858) 456-0907.

Carole Hutchins, a sevenyear volunteer had this insight: “You have two types of travelers — spontaneous and prepared. Some people have their travel books with them and write everything down,” Hutchins said. “Others are not so organized. I’m amazed at how many people come from Germany, France and England and they don’t even have a hotel.” Recently, a man from Italy stopped by and Middendorf said she tried to help him with hotel accommodations, but everything in La Jolla was booked.
“I had to call the San Diego concierge, and the visitor had to stay in El Cajon,” she said. The volunteers also help guests with transportation out of La Jolla to downtown San Diego. “Their only option is to take a cab that costs about $40, or to take the No. 30 bus to Old Town, and then ride the trolley to downtown,” Middendorf said. Both Middendorf and Hutchins said they love what they do. “Our Visitor Center serves to boost both local

Town Council turmoil terrible for all concerned Our View
L
a Jolla Town Council insiders tell the Light that behind the scenes, the group is embroiled in petty politics that have been percolating for some time. It appears the pot is boiling over as allegations and finger pointing have emotions at a fever pitch as resignations abound and lawsuits are threatened. It is everyone’s hope that the commotion will finally clear the air and produce a leadership that will focus on the council’s mission “to promote the social, cultural, educational, and ecological betterment of the community.”
To that end, and by its bylaws, the La Jolla Town Council’s activities “shall be nonpartisan and nonsectarian and shall not discriminate against any person or persons by reason of race, sex, creed, national origin, sexual orientation, or physical handicap, nor shall LJTC take part officially — or unofficially — or lend its influence in the election of any candidate for political office.” Council trustees must remember that they are bound by oath NOT to promote or support candidates for office, even though as community issues arise, trustees will need to seek the support of these elected officials on behalf of all La Jollans.
It’s quite a fence to straddle. As the oldest municipal organization in La Jolla, the Town Council (at its 5 p.m. second Thursday-of-the-month meetings at Jolla Rec Center) serves as a sounding board where citizens can air their concerns and bring ideas to light. It operates as a Chamber of Commerce of sorts, hosting third-Thursday SunSetters for networking each month. It organizes the annual Christmas parade, and it serves as the contact point for other San Diego communities that wish to connect with La Jolla from its offices on Herschel Avenue. The Town Council operates on a shoestring budget, according to
recently resigned treasurer, David Woo. He said its 2011 budget was $47,500, and reduced this year to “a forecasted expense line of $25,000.” Woo said the funds are used to pay rent, printing costs, and contractors, like the tax preparer. Trustee Kerr Bache, has said this year’s Christmas Parade — just three months away — is in dire need of funding and pending cancellation. The La Jolla Town Council sits at a crossroads. It will attempt to reorganize and move forward at a special meeting — open to the public — 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4 at the Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St.

Time for north/south bridge on La Jolla Scenic Drive The “throat” problem that strangles access to the La Jolla Village HAS NOT been solved. I am writing a letter to Mayor Sanders about the problem, but I hope your publication will take up the issue of an auto bridge being constructed that would connect La Jolla Scenic Drive, north and south, to relieve traffic on La Jolla Parkway. The Merchants Association should be at the forefront of this request for city action. As it is now, the traffic backup discourages San Diegans from visiting and buying in The Village! (Note: Up to 80,000 cars daily drive this parkway, and if it is ever blocked during a major emergency, the whole Village of La Jolla would be threatened. Despite the city’s best efforts to redesign the interchange between Old Ardath Road and La Jolla Shores Drive, this problem continues to get worse. Drivers get so frustrated at the loss of time and gasoline that they have adopted an alternative route on the street where I live; the amount of autos and trucks now coming down this residential street is unacceptable. The Azure Coast property owners have tried to restrict this traffic flow and failed. The idling vehicles along La Jolla Parkway also cause an air pollution hazard while waiting to move forward. Years ago, I was told that the city once tried to build this bridge but it was opposed by property owners on both sides of La Jolla Scenic Drive who did not want a “highway at their front doors.” It seems to me today that the common good of San Diegans who daily use the parkway override individual property owners’ rights! I am retired and, at age 86, will never benefit from such an overpass, but I recognize the time for action on this issue is NOW.) Philip Harris, La Jolla

The La Jolla Community Center is the only center serving the adult community west of Interstate 5 in the city of San Diego. This project was started six years ago by the La Jolla Rotary Club. The Rotary Club painted the drab interiors with bright colors to start the process of the transformation of this community asset. Since those first steps, many other individuals and groups worked to upgrade the kitchen, bathroom and central courtyard, but more work was needed! As part of the project team on the La Jolla Community Center (formerly Riford Center) we would like to reach out to the La Jolla community to ask for support the center. This center has provided adult services to the greater beach area for more than 37 years. Many professionals, local contractors, and suppliers have stepped up to complete the transformation. We would like to add your name or company’s name to the donation board on La Jolla Blvd. Currently the list of generous supporters to the ongoing need of the community center includes: • La Jolla Rotary Club • La Jolla Kiwanis • Las Patronas • Marengo Morton Architects Inc. • GDC Construction – Pancho Dewhurst • DC West Contracting • Fixture Living • Oceanside Glass Tile • Western Light Source • Versa Tile • James Norris
• John Wilson These and many other companies and individuals have given their support to this worthy project.

But LJ was it for us. I have always been proud of our Village. But, of late, I am embarrassed by the horrible smell that is enveloping our community. For a while, the stench was only experienced along our walk from The Cave Shell Shop to the Brockton Villa. But, NOW, I even smell it on Prospect Street. I am appealing to your sense of smell and your sense of reasonableness ... can’t this problem be resolved soon? Your speedy consideration is greatly appreciated. Patty Pietila La Jolla P.S. I decided, since I had sent a note regarding the stench issue, I would comment on another pet peeve I have regarding my beloved La Jolla: our dirty (no filthy) sidewalks.

La Jollan: Jack in the Box ‘flags’ unsightly
From Letters, A14 The Village area almost every day of the week. We are amazed at the stickiness of most storefront walkways in the shopping/restaurant areas of La Jolla. It is amazing to us that powers-to-be would allow this to happen, especially when we are a Village that is visited by people all around the world! Don’t we care about our image?
Cove odors disturbing to residents and tourists alike I moved here five years ago in July of 2007 after purchasing a $3 million condo on Prospect Street, across La Jolla Boulevard from The Bishop’s School. Fortunately, I live a block above Coast Street so the stench rarely makes it up to Prospect. However, invariably, when anyone visits or if I meet people for drinks or dinner closer to The Cove or if I just go for a walk, I do so remembering the multiple locations where I have to hold my nose or breathe through my mouth. I have been in awe of the nonsense, reported in La Jolla Light regularly, that continues to occupy the city planners and government of this area. The incessant discussion surrounding the so-called “Children’s Pool” is bad enough, but to allow this stench to continue when there are environmentally sound ways to remove it is not only needed … it’s needed immediately and must be done on a periodic basis. I implore you for the sake of The Village and the otherwise vibrant businesses that benefit from the tourist flow and attractiveness of The Village, put aside your finger pointing and side step the bureaucracy … implement this cleaning now! Paul Mirabella Chairman & CEO Naviscan, Inc.
From Shelburne, A10 Shelburne noted, they had five counselors. Because of the budget uncertainties, the principal said he has “lost some very good people.” A French teacher took a job at a private school and two counselors left, one for a post in Poway and one with the Army and Navy Academy in Carlsbad. They’re leaving, he noted, because there’s more stability and better pay in other places. Already teachers and administrators have agreed to five furlough days and they face that possibility of 14 more, each coming with corresponding pay cuts. Worse though, he said, is that if students lose 14 more days of classes that’s nearly a month. “It’s all because the adults in Sacramento and San Diego Unified are not doing their jobs, meaning kids enjoy a good deal less school,” he added. There’s also the unanticipated result that bright young people who might
have become teachers are less drawn to the profession. “I have tenured teachers who have gotten pink slips for seven years,” Shelburne said. “It’s gut-wrenching, acidburning and doesn’t make young people feel valued.” Throughout all the bad news, though, there is good news, he added. “We have a creative parent support group,” and there’s activity all around campus with athletes preparing for their seasons. One of those support groups is the La Jolla High Foundation that raised about $190,000 to support the school this year. Funds have been designated for school supplies, technology, an athletic trainer, and textbooks, according to Sandy Fitzpatrick who has stepped down as foundation president and turned the reins over to Jeff Macelli. And despite the juggling, only one program — classes in psychology and sociology that aren’t required for graduation — was eliminated because there was no one to teach it, Shelburne said.

Editor’s note: The Light sent this photo to Jack in the Box headquarters and received this reply from Brian Luscomb in the Communications Department: ‘Banners and window decals are effective ways of promoting a product or limited-time offer. This kind of promotional signage can vary by location, but all restaurants are required to follow applicable regulations regarding their use and installation. This restaurant is a franchised location. I’ve shared your concerns with the operator, and he’s looking into the matter.’
Have you seen the Jack in the Box on Pearl Street in La Jolla? It’s absolutely disgraceful. Banners, streamers, pennants, etc. It’s more like a carnival than a restaurant. What’s next Jack in the Box? Carnival barkers? It’s ugly, tacky, obnoxious and … illegal. Maybe you can add this eyesore to your list of offenders? This might shame Jack in the Box into some kind of action. In the meantime, La Jollans have to look at what is perhaps the ugliest Jack in the Box in the county. What an indignity. Jack in the Box: respect your community or get out! William Juarez La Jolla
OBITUARIES Dr. Clarence Gibson Glenn 1919 – 2012
Dr. Glenn died on the morning of Thursday, August 9, 2012. Dr. Glenn and his wife, Adele, were associated with the La Jolla community in various ways for over fifty years. They first discovered La Jolla at the end of World War II, 1944-46, when they waited for Dr. Glenn to be shipped out as a physician aboard the U.S.S. Natoma Bay headed for the Philippines. Dr. Glenn established a practice in internal medicine and neurology in Decatur, IL, after the war in 1949 but was recalled to service with the U.S. Navy in 1956-58. He served as Chief of Neurology at the San Diego Naval Hospital and the family settled in La Jolla during those years. Their neighbors were Herb and Marge Klein, whose daughters, Joanne and Patti, were the same age as the Glenn children, Susan and Rob, who attended Bird Rock Elementary School and La Jolla High School. Although the Glenns returned to Decatur, they maintained a relationship with the Kleins and many other La Jolla families for the rest of their lives. Clarence and Adele Glenn never stopped coming to La Jolla and over the years,
owned homes in Ventana and most recently in La Jolla Woods. They were members of the La Jolla Country Club. Dr. Glenn died in Decatur Memorial Hospital where he had served as a physician for over 60 years. He started both EEG (electroencephalogram) laboratories in Decatur (DMH) in January 1952, and St. Mary’s Hospital in 1958. He continued to be in charge of both labs until 1987 when he began developing sleep laboratories in both hospitals. He received board certification in Sleep Medicine in 1991. He continued to read sleep records for both hospitals until 2009. Dr. Glenn is survived by his wife, Adele of Decatur; daughter, Susan (Rich) Lampe of Olympia, WA; son, Rob (HR) Glenn of Indianapolis; grandchildren, Melinda Hardwick and Rebecca Hardwick of Washington State, Thom Hardwick of Oregon, David (Amy) Glenn of Mahomet, IL, Jenny Glenn (Casey) Horoho of Indianapolis, and Kris Glenn of Oakdale, CA, who is a graduate of Southern California University, Los Angeles, and formerly served on the staff of Governor Pete Wilson and is a member of the California State Highway Patrol; and great-
grandchildren, Jackson and Carter Glenn of Mahomet, and McKenzie, Owen and Griffin Horoho of Indianapolis. A memorial service for Dr. Glenn was held August 18, 2012, at the First Presbyterian Church in Decatur, IL. Please sign the guest book online at www.legacy. com/obituaries/lajollalight.

Stronger statins bear higher risks for patients
Research Report By Lynne Friedmann
A
study reports that muscle problems in patients taking statins were related to the strength or potency of the cholesterol-lowering drugs. UC San Diego Medicine researchers teamed up with California-based AdverseEvents, Inc., using the company’s software platform, to conduct a detailed examination of statin side-effect data from the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS). The study analyzed muscle-related adverse events linked to each of the major statin drugs in a total of 147,789 AERS reports gathered over a six-year period. Looking at the most commonly used statins – both brand names and generic
forms – rosuvastatin, the strongest statin, had the highest rates of reported problems. This was a surprise. Experts believed rosuvastatin possessed superior safety because it is less fat soluble and assumed not to penetrate into muscle cells as much as other statins. The study points to the importance of post-marketed studies utilizing AERS data to understand the lasting side effect risks of widely used medications in disparate populations. Statins, prescribed to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, are among the most widely taken prescription medications in the world, with over 30 million users in the United States alone. — Findings are reported online by PLoS ONE. News release at http://bit.ly/P0Lntk. Double whammy for Alzheimer’s disease The underlying causes of Alzheimer’s disease are not fully understood, but evidence points to the accumulation of B-amyloid, a protein toxic to nerve cells. B-amyloid is formed by the activity of several enzymes, including BACE1 found in elevated levels in most Alzheimer’s patients.
Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute scientists have found that BACE1 does more than just help produce βB-amyloid — it also regulates another cellular process that contributes to memory loss. In a study to better understand how the enzyme plays a role in memory loss, researchers used a mouse model that produces human BACE1. If BACE1 only acted to produce B-amyloid, there should be no effect on memory in the study mice. Instead, the enzyme was shown to impair learning and memory, indicating a secondary function at work. Thus, inhibiting BACE1’s enzymatic activity as a means to prevent or treat Alzheimer’s disease wouldn’t be enough—cells must be prevented from making BACE1 at all. But that also means a therapy that blocks BACE1 expression in the brain could potentially benefit patients with normal aging-related memory loss unrelated to Alzheimer’s disease. — Findings appear in the The Journal of Neuroscience. More information at http:// bit.ly/RoyZ7M Behavior of the tiniest water droplets Water has been studied more extensively than any other liquid yet its microscopic
properties remain poorly understood. Researchers at UC San Diego and Emory University have uncovered fundamental details about the hexamer structures that make up the tiniest droplets of water. A hexamer is considered the smallest drop of water because it consists of the smallest three-dimensional cluster in which the oxygen atoms of the molecules do not lie on the same plane. This findings lead to a better understanding of the structure and dynamics of water in its liquid state, which plays a central role in many phenomena of relevance to different areas of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and climate research. For example, the hydration structure around proteins affects their stability and function, water in the active sites of enzymes affects their catalytic power, and the behavior of water adsorbed on atmospheric particles drives the formation of clouds. — Findings appear in The Journal of the American Chemical Society.

La Jolla Pop Warner season off and running n The La Jolla Pop Warner Flag Team opened its season with a 20-6 loss to Mt. Helix. For most players this was their first game ever and despite the score, the Torreys had a great time playing in front of the supportive home crowd at the La Jolla Country Day School. n The Mitey Mites exploded against the visiting Mt. Helix Rebels with a 45-21 victory. The Torreys were led by Nick Dockery, Gervy Alota, Caleb Woodard and Kaden Kralovic. Kobe Landry even managed to kick an extra point, a rare feat at this level of football! n The Torrey Junior Pee Wee team pitched the first of three shutouts of the day with a 33-0 victory over Mt. Helix. The Torreys scored on their first offensive play of the season with a long run by Tre Ratliff and never looked back. The Torrey defense swarmed the visiting Rebels all day to lock up their first victory. n The Pee Wee team got off to a quick start on Saturday scoring 31 points in the first 12 minutes of the game against the visiting Mt. Helix Rebels. With the contest decided, the team was able to coast to a
31-0 victory. Many players had a chance to play various positions and get valuable experience that will help them as the season progresses. n The Junior Midgets put all their hard work over the past several weeks to use with a 22-0 rout of the Mt. Helix Rebels. Thanks to a strong showing by the offensive line, the Torreys were able to throw the ball and move down the field easily. The defense was successful throughout the game at keeping the Rebel offense out of the end zone to secure the shutout victory. n The final game of the day pitted the Unlimited Team against the visiting Santee Ravens. The Torreys controlled the line of scrimmage and dictated the pace of the game en route to a 26-12 victory. The defense sacked the Ravens quarterback five times and created three turnovers. Moroni Anae, Cole Burmeister, Jack Lashchuck and Cameron Miller had exceptional performances in their first game of the season. n Up Next: The Torreys will host another slate of home games on Saturday Sept. 1 starting at 9 a.m. at La Jolla Country Day School.
Torreys start season Saturday with road game By Phil Dailey La Jolla Country Day head football coach Jeff Hutzler has been with the Torreys long enough to know when his team has the talent to contend for a CIF section title. This is one of those years. “Sky high,” said Hutzler of the team’s expectations this season. “Our (first team) is good. Quite frankly our (second team) needs to get better and we’re working on that. “I think the whole team is working hard and we have a great attitude.” Last season, the Torreys were mediocre with a 7-5 record, but only 1-4 in the Coastal League, the team’s new home after playing in the weaker Pacific League for the better part of the last decade. “The season had its ups and downs, we had several guys hurt, got pretty banged up,” Hutzler said. “I was not satisfied going 1-4 in the Coastal League.” The Torreys were an 8-man football team from 2001-04 before joining the Pacific League in 2005, winning four league titles See Country Day, A18

But there are playmakers on the team as well with seniors wide receiver/running back Sage Burmiester, quarterback Eddie Garcia and running back Colin McMahon.

Dr. Clifford Colwell writes prescription for a good life: Family, friends, health, hard work Clifford W. Colwell Jr., M.D., is medical director of the Shiley Center for Orthopaedic Research and Education at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, and holds the Donald and Darlene Shiley Chair in Orthopaedic Research. He is clinical professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at the UC San Diego School of Medicine, and adjunct clinical professor in the Department of Basic Science and Clinical Research at The Scripps Research Institute. He was chief of the Dr. Clifford Orthopaedic Division at Colwell Scripps Clinic and director of the Lower Extremity Reconstruction Fellowship Program for 25 years. Dr. Colwell received his medical degree from the University of Michigan and completed a two-year general surgery residency at U of M. He did his orthopaedic residency at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City and completed a trauma fellowship at Los Angeles County Hospital. He served in the military at Carswell Air Force Base in Fort Worth, Texas (1968-70). He and his wife, Carolyn, have three children and six grandchildren and have lived in La Jolla since 1970. Dr. Colwell has received numerous awards for his work, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA) in 2009. He has authored 220 papers, written 18 book chapters, and has been a speaker at multiple symposia worldwide.
What brought you to La Jolla? My wife Carolyn and I had a series of desires in choosing a place in which to settle and establish our roots. We wanted proximity to an excellent medical and nursing environment in order to pursue our professional goals; an area with availability of outdoor activities, such as boating, skiing, biking, etc.; and proximity to an additional culture, such as Mexico, so that we might participate in an exchange for our children to learn a second language. La Jolla was the clear winner. What are your favorite places in La Jolla? Those would be the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club, Torrey Pines State Park, biking and walking trails in North County (outside La Jolla), and the great restaurants throughout La Jolla.

Art of improv gets a boost from ‘Finest City’ founders By David L. Coddon Amy Lisewski “fell in love” with improv after training with the Second City conservatory in Hollywood, and now she wants everyone else to love it, too. That’s where Finest City Improv comes in. It’s a business just launched by Lisewski, a longtime actress and performer, that’s dedicated to furthering the art of improvisation in San Diego through classes for both adults and teens, and live showcases in Ocean Beach. Why O.B.? For one, it’s where Lisewski lives and where the Ocean Beach Playhouse (bet you didn’t know such a place existed) is located. For another, “We all know how crazy and different O.B. is,” said Lisewski.
Long-form improv, which involves performing full-on scenes, is different from the short-form improv you generally see in comedy theater, and it’s a lot different from standup comedy. “(This) improv is about relationships and seeing relationships develop on the stage,” Lisewski said. “There’s a riskiness. The moments are heightened.” Classes being offered by Finest City Improv, taught by improvisation veterans, cater to beginners and advanced students alike, and serve either adults or teen-age participants. Lisewski doesn’t expect everyone who enrolls to have expectations of stardom. “There are a lot of people who are just looking

The Forum, which began in 1999, was named for Jacob Bronowski (1908-1974), a prominent mathematician, biologist, and humanist who was associate director of the Institute in its first decade. Before the Salk Institute was even built, Dr. Jonas Salk invited Bronowski to be part of it, knowing that a man with his breadth of interests would be a great help in creating the kind of place Salk envisioned — a grand agora where scientists and artists could meet, share ideas, and form new kinds of cross-disciplinary collaborations. Best known for his BBCTV documentary series “The Ascent of Man,” Bronowski was described by his wife, Rita, as “an extraordinarily whole person ... a thinking man ...

Piotr Winkielman and Jennifer Steinkamp will discuss art, psychology, and neuroscience at the forum. COURTESY
If you go ■ What: Bronowski Art & Science Forum: Piotr Winkielman and Jennifer Steinkamp ■ When: 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 6 ■ Where: Neurosciences Institute Auditorium, 10640 John Jay Hopkins Drive, off N. Torrey Pines Road ■ Tickets: Free with registration at http://steinkamp-winkielman.eventbrite.com ■ Website: bronowskiforum.org events until her death two years ago, was present at the 100th Forum in January, 2009, which was also a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jacob Bronowski, and featured their daughter, Lisa Jardine, professor of Renaissance Studies at the University of London. Newby, of Del Mar, had the opportunity to share many conversations with Bronowski and Salk during
his 27 years as a researcher in genetics at the Institute. “It was these two men who inspired me to continue the tradition of healing the separation between art and science that was set in motion when Jonas Salk invited Jacob Bronowski to the Salk Institute,” he said. “After observing what seemed to me a distancing from Bronowski’s sensibility, the
Forum was my modest attempt to recreate the spirit that came about during the Salk-Bronowski era.” In next week’s program, the sciences will be represented by Piotr Winkielman, an experimental psychologist who, like Bronowski, was born in Poland. He’s been part of UCSD’s faculty since 2003, and his research explores the “interplay between emotion, cognition and consciousness.” Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer Steinkamp, whose digital projections transform architectural spaces, is best known here for “Madame Curie,” her large-scale installation recently on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego downtown. A panoramic, seven-channel projection (inspired by her research into atomic energy and explosions and their effects on nature), the piece turned the walls of a 4,500square-foot gallery into meadows of swaying flowers, drawn from a list of plants that the discoverer of radium and radioactivity loved. Don’t miss the WinkielmanSteinkamp conversation. It may be a long time before you hear this kind of talk again.
FROM IMPROV, B1 for an outlet where they can get up on their feet and use their bodies to express themselves,” she said. But Lisewski does anticipate serious students will enroll, too. “It’s great for actors, but also writers, and that’s what Second City was about — using improv to create sketch comedy. It’s really great for writers to take improv because it helps them see the different choices that can be made in a scene and know how to heighten a scene.” Finest City Improv courses offered (finestcityimprov. org) cost up to $100 for five- or six-week sessions. A couple of showcases, which will feature improv performers from both Los Angeles and San Diego (and possibly beyond) are set — the first on Oct. 11, and another on Dec. 6. As time goes on, Lisewski hopes to offer “a major showcase at least every other month.” For now, it’s all about getting Finest City Improv off the ground, then adding more classes as time goes on. “One of my big goals is to have an improv festival,” said Lisewski, looking to the future. “All the major cities have one, and some of the smaller cities, too. We don’t have one here.” The area does have a major comedy club, the Comedy Store in La Jolla. Sandi Shore, part of the Shore family that has owned the Comedy Store locations (currently Hollywood and La Jolla) from the beginning, doesn’t think that Lisewski’s improv classes or showcases will impact the La Jolla club in any way. “Does improv cause competition for standup? Not at all,” Shore said. But she added that the art of improvisation is “really important to standup because you’re working live. “I think anything in the performing arts is valuable because it helps you think on your feet, which might be great for job interviews or feeling better about yourself.”

Changes ahead for Basil Thai Cuisine diners
Pineapple Curry Chicken and Shrimp is served in a pineapple shell.
On The By Kelley Carlson fter planned changes are completed at La Basil Thai, the restaurant may be fit for a king. According to owner Jenny Trakolsusap, it will be “like a little Thai castle,” with gold dinnerware, new tablecloths, and curtains to create sections. The remodeling is scheduled to take place in September, and the establishment should only be closed for a few days, Trakolsusap said. The restaurant (to be renamed Basil Thai Cuisine) already has an elegant ambience, and differs from its sister locations. All are family-owned and operated. Basil Thai Kitchen in Pacific Beach is casual, whereas Basil Thai Bistro in Santaluz is contemporary. Currently, customers who enter La Basil Thai come into a dining area featuring the statue of a woman posed in the Thai way of greeting — her palms and fingers placed together, hands at neck level, and head slightly bowed. Just to the left, a chandelier hangs over an oval table that accommodates up to eight people. A piano (mostly used for special occasions) is against a wall, and fish glide through the waters of a couple of aquariums. Adjacent to the area is a small bar, where guests can order wine and beer. To the right of the statue is the main dining section, filled with tables and booths that feature flower centerpieces. Asian art and mirrors decorate the walls; the latter reflects light from the candles and chandeliers, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere at night. Thai music can be heard in the background. An open-air patio

decorated with succulents and flowers is ideal for dining on pleasant days. Non-spicy fare includes noodle dishes, such as Pad See Ew, which consists of stirfried rice noodles with Asian broccoli, egg and garlic; and Fried Rice, with an assortment of ingredients such as peas, carrots, onion, garlic and egg and served with cucumber and tomato. There are plenty of spicy options, as well. For example, there are several types of house curries — Red, Green, Yellow, Panang and Massamun — made with coconut milk, vegetables and herbs. As with most of the dishes, these can be made vegetarian or with meat or seafood. Guests can request their preferred level of spiciness. At the same time as the design renovations, changes will be made to the menu, primarily to the seafood section, Trakolsusap said. There will be more of a concentration on healthy options; such as a grilled salmon salad. One item that will likely remain is one of the signature dishes, Hoa Mok, which is mixed seafood in thick, red curry that is served in a young coconut. A children’s menu includes Chicken Satay with rice, Chicken Fried Rice, See Ew Noodles with pork, Fried Fish Sticks, and Crispy Pork Rib with sticky rice. Among the desserts is Sweet Rice with Mango, a fresh and juicy treat. There are specials each day, including during happy hour when appetizers — from Chicken Crispy Spring Roll and Cream Cheese Wontons to Winter Shrimp and

La Jolla’s Gems of the week A Jewel of a Film “A Millionaire for Christy’ is a 1951 screwball comedy directed by George Marshall, set in La Jolla. Eleanor Parker plays Christy Sloane, a legal secretary who is sent on a business trip to inform radio host Peter Ulysses Lockwood (Fred MacMurray) that he has just inherited $2 million from his deceased uncle. Constantly broke because of her family, a co-worker advises Christy not to tell Peter the news until she snags him. Christy dismisses the idea and leaves for her trip. But taking one look at him, Christy swoons, interrupting him on the way to his wedding. The hijinks ensue with references to The Jewel a plenty! FYI: For fans of the late Fred MacMurray, today is his birthday: Aug. 30, 1908.

TRUE OR FALSE The San Diego Union on Dec. 8, 1902 published this brief: “Saturday next was the day set apart as “clearing up” day, when every able-bodied La Jollaite is expected to be abroad in pursuit of stray paper and cans, and woe to those who thereafter disfigure the village green with such articles.” True! In an article about La Jolla’s civic pride, Nan Cuthbert further writes in The Journal of San Diego History: “La Jollans do have a tendency to wax rhapsodic about their lovely environment. Well they should, for the area was truly blessed by the Creator with an abundance of natural beauty. But, to those accustomed to the chic allure of today’s avenues, it is difficult to envision its early collection of tiny cottages on the dusty chapparal.”

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add to improve La Jolla? Traffic continues to worsen and this will not improve over time nor are there easy solutions. I would make public transportation to La Jolla more accessible, put in additional public parking, such as found in Santa Barbara with shuttles and electronic surveillance for employees, and add parking meters for single participant automobile use. (I would then leave town, before the critics could catch me.) Who inspires you? Individuals who are able to add giving of their time, effort and finances to a common good in addition to their own self-interests. There have been wonderful examples of such individuals from my professional and
personal life. In the causes that I find important, there are always people who inspire me by doing much more than I do. What you are reading? “Thinking Fast and Slow” by Daniel Kahneman, “Cat’s Table” by Michael O’Daatje, and “The Long Journey to Freedom” by Nelson Mandela. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? I have often thought of a similar-type question. Would I have someone who has been an inspiration to many, but whose philosophy is already well known or someone who you would wonder of their answers to certain questions? For a dinner party, I would choose the later, as for a starter they would need to appreciate good food and
good wine. Winston Churchill, Jacquelyn Kennedy, William Shakespeare (if he in fact, was one person), Georgia O’Keeffe, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Nadine Gordimer, George Washington and Carolyn, my wife. (If allowed nine, I would include Catherine the Great.) What would be your dream vacation? This might seem a little weak, but both Carolyn and I are really happy either here in La Jolla or at our family cottage in upper Michigan on a clear water lake where we can canoe (and I can build canoes), hike, bike, read and enjoy the change in weather (this does not apply to winter). The fact that our children and their children also love it is another plus. In addition to the above, visiting a place that has an interesting history has great value; Israel would be an example. Our trip on
the Orient Express is a wonderful memory. What are your favorite movies of all time? “Dr. Zhivago,” “The Dirty Dozen,” “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” and “For Whom The Bell Tolls.” What is your most prized possession? I have had good health and without this, many things are truly impossible. A great marriage is a close second, but one could add books and handmade cedar-strip canoes. What is your motto or philosophy of life? The following answer is only predicated on the advantages of living in this country. In this setting, hard work and persistence will have a great chance of success with a foundation in family, close personal friends and laughter.

Art San Diego brings ‘New Art City’ show to Balboa Park By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt For over 15 years, Ann Berchtold of Del Mar, has been making a difference on the local art scene, most notably by creating Art San Diego, a contemporary art fair that may someday rival Miami’s Art Basel. The first ASD, in 2009, was at the Grand Del Mar. The next two settled in at the Bayfront Hilton. This year, Balboa Park is the place, and the venue itself is a work of art: the Balboa Park Activity
Center, a fine-looking building designed by acclaimed local architect Rob Quigley and virtually unknown to all but indoor badminton and ping pong players. The 38,000-square-foot gymnasium will be transformed into New Art City, a showcase and marketplace for about 400 artists and 60 galleries, museums, and university art departments, Sept. 6-9. “I just love this venue,” Berchtold said. “It’s such a

great canvas for the fair. But we have to bring in everything — electrical wiring, catering kitchen, everything!” She’s had lots of experience in event production, so the enormity of the project doesn’t faze her. And she’ll have a time-lapse camera documenting the process, from buildup to breakdown, which could be the start of a future exhibit. The fair’s theme, she says, is “hyper-local meets international,” so there will be a mix of top local art-dealers, like La Jolla’s Scott White, Mark Quint, R.B. Stevenson, Alexander Salazar, and J.M. Tasende, along with galleries from Argentina, Australia, Mexico, and Korea, and a special exhibition called “Vision China,” presented by the Cultural Media Group of China. New Art City will feature four districts: Contemporary Art, Contemporary Furniture & Products, Midcentury Modern Art, and Solo Artists’ Booths.

‘Allegiance’ exposes family rift over loyalty to country By Diana Saenger Sometimes it’s necessary as a culture to take a journey back through history and further examine severe actions that might have been avoided. That’s a tale The Old Globe Theatre tells in its world premiere of “Allegiance: A New American Musical.” Directed by Stafford Arima, the story begins during the 60th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Particularly affected by this observance is Sam Kimura (George Takei). He’s a WW II veteran whose family was put in an internment camp. It’s his recollections that recount this era and the rift between loyalty to family and allegiance to country. Telly Leung plays the young Sammy Kimura. Lea Salonga, Tony and Olivier award-winner for her roles in “Miss Saigon,” portrays Kei Kimura, Sam’s sister. She’s not so willing to go along with the crowd and instead joins a group of activists. Salonga said she’s excited to be part of this production. “This piqued my curiosity
If you go ■ What: ‘Allegiance: A New American Musical’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings, Sept. 7-Oct. 21 ■ Where: The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park ■ Tickets: From $26 ■ Contact: (619) 234-5623 ■ Website: TheOldGlobe.org because this was an Asian/ American-centered story about Japanese-American interment that wasn’t widely circulated or told as far as American history was concerned,” she said. “Then when I got the script, I enjoyed the humor in it and also the music.” “Allegiance” is a traditional musical with music and lyrics by Jay Kuo and book by Marc Acito, Kuo and Lorenzo Thione. “It’s a mix. When the words people are saying
get too emotional, then the actors burst into song,” said Salonga, who has an impressive resume of theatrical work. In films she provided the singing voice for the character of Princess Jasmine in the movies of “Aladdin” and Fa Mulan in “Mulan.” Her own talents notwithstanding, Salonga said she is humbled by her peers’ talent and finds Takei a pleasure to work with. “He’s revered on one hand, but on the other he’s just one of the boys. He has a great sense of humor. Not only is he an AsianAmerican Hollywood figurehead, but this story is personal to him.” Takei and his family were among 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly incarcerated in U.S. internment camps at the outbreak of World War II. It was hearing Takei’s recollections of his family’s story that inspired Kuo and Thione to create the story. “I get to stretch my acting muscles in this production, like when the musical supervisor says something like, ‘fight

Henry DiRocco against the prettiness of the song and make it rougher, more conversational.’ It takes work to keep the emotional content intact, and the telling of this poignant story is at the forefront of what we are doing here.” Along with its great
music, the show is also a cautionary tale set in 1941 that Salonga said is rooted in paranoia and fear. “Here is an entire group of people, who just because of their ancestry, are immediately tagged as the enemy. There’s a dialogue in the show that refers to 9/11,

Fun with toy pianos at Geisel Library event The 12th annual Toy Piano Festival begins at noon on Wednesday, Sept. 5 in the Seuss Room of UC San Diego’s Geisel Library. New works from local composers and songs from “The Cat in the Hat Songbook” will be performed during the free event. The Toy Piano Collection at Geisel Library consists of actual instruments, recordings, extant literature and commissioned scores. In 2001, because of the Toy Piano Collection’s activities, the Library of Congress issued a special call number and subject heading for Toy Piano Scores: M 175 T69. UCSD has a history with toy pianos that pre-dates the annual toy piano festival. Composer Robert Erickson, a founder of UCSD’s Music Department, wrote a piece for toy pianos and bells that was premiered on California’s PBS television stations in 1966.
California’s PBS television stations featured The Toy Piano Collection at Geisel Library in January 2000 with a 30-minute segment edited from a daylong visit from host Huell Howser. The first composer to write a “serious” piece for toy piano was American composer John Cage. His “Suite for Toy Piano,” (1948), uses nine consecutive white notes of a piano keyboard. This is significant because some toy pianos only have white notes (the black notes are sometimes merely painted on as a reference point so that players will know where “C” and all the other notes are.) Composer George Crumb used toy piano to great effect in his chamber music piece “Ancient Voices of Children” (1970). Questions? Call (858) 822-5758 or visit http://artslib.ucsd.edu

hen Wilma Flintstone and I were classmates at Bedrock Elementary School, au courant lunches consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on Wonder white, a Red Delicious apple coated with wax and pesticides, and a Twinkie all stuffed in an aluminum Donny Osmond lunchbox. Times they are a changin’. Here’s a primer on more healthful school eats with some advice on college cuisine to keep students’ minds and bodies fit and humming at optimum capacity. Almond Joy Swap out persona non grata peanut butter (naturally laced with aflatoxins that trigger assorted allergies and reactions) for heart-healthy, diabetic-friendly, brain-stimulating, energy-boosting almond butter. Almonds (packed with mono-saturated fat, protein, potassium, magnesium, copper, folic acid, fiber and Vitamin E) have been linked to spurring intellectual development in children. They satiate hunger pangs to prevent the munchies and weight gain, and stimulate the manufacture of energy, acting as nature’s Roto Rooter to keep away that logy feeling. Spread that almond butter on some whole wheat or gluten-free oat bread, or
■ When: 1:30 p.m. Fridays, Sept. 14 and Sept. 21 ■ Where: La Jolla Community Center ■ Cost: $40 members, $45 non-members ■C ontact: (858) 459-0831 toss some raw nuts in a green or fruit salad or eat them straight up with dried cherries, cranberries or raisins. Over the Rainbow Visualize a box of Crayola crayons when preparing lunch or afterschool snacks as a reminder to pack colorful assorted fruits and veggies (and we’re not talking fruit leather or a ketchup package). Try Jungle Green grapes, Radical Red radishes, B’dazzled blueberries and Neon Carrots. Mix it up with chewy edamame drizzled with honey soy sauce, crisp sugar snap peas with creamy artichoke dip, dates coated in toasted almonds, watermelon chunks with mint and a feta crumble, and slices of mango with a savory sprinkling of cayenne, chili powder and sea salt. Dial up the immune system with a vanilla bean yoghurt dip, nature’s probiotic that boosts intestinal health. Energy Boosters Pack foods to fuel their engines like beans or legumes loaded with fiber, protein, iron, magnesium and selenium. A bean salad blending kidneys, chickpeas, cannellini and black beans in a light vinaigrette is a
hearty and tasty snack. Hummus comes in variations from sweet red pepper to spicy eggplant garlic and goes great with pita chips or mixed raw veggies. Keep Your Cool From early morning when they leave home till lunch period five hours have lapsed — enough time to spoil petrified rock. Pack perishables in a thermal lunch bag or add a cold pack. Where possible, include indestructibles (like frozen grapes that will also keep other foods cold), wholesome fruit and nut muffins or breads, date squares or apricot bars along with whole, hand-held fruits. ABCs of H2O Nothing’s better than good old-fashioned, teethfriendly water to beat hydration and thirst. Jazz it up with their fave flavs of sweet and savory splashes of juice, syrups or essences of vanilla, mint, berry, lemon, cucumber or even chocolate. Nix the Freshman 15 Many college dorms have full-service kitchens so freshmen they don’t have to pack on the pounds with greasy, fried, fast foods and other edible vice. It’s time for Ramen soup to take a sabbatical with fresh, healthy alternatives. Tortillas have gone wild with everything from whole wheat to gluten-free spelt; do Mediterranean with hummus, Persian cucumbers and shredded carrots; consider an Italian version blending marinara sauce, black olives, mushrooms and mozzarella.

Live Here. Give Here. The Bishop’s School
dedicates library on first day of new school year
T
he Bishop’s School held a dedication ceremony on Aug. 22 for its new $10 million Manchester Library & Learning Center on campus at 7607 La Jolla Blvd. The school’s 800 students, faculty, staff and invited guests gathered for the ribbon cutting before the library doors officially opened on the first day of the new school year.

Bishop’s Former Headmaster for 25 years, Michael Teitelman, left, and his wife Marlene, center, were recognized as guests at the ceremony.
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.
Library benefactors Betsy and Doug Manchester, center, and Betty Ann Huntington, right, prepare to walk through the doors after the ribbon is cut.
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!

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
