Bird flu found in seals: La Jolla seal colony not affected By Lynne Friedmann Last fall, 162 dead harbor seal pups washed up on the shores of New England. A team of researchers immediately went to work seeking a cause. In the process they identified a new strain of influenza that has “jumped” from birds to the marine mammals with the ability to spread from seal to seal. The findings appear in the July/August issue of the journal mBio (http://bit.ly/M9Bqb6). The discovery begs the question: Is there an immediate risk to harbor seals in the La Jolla Children’s pool and, subsequently, to the public? The short answer is: No. To date, influenza has not been detected in the La Jolla seals. This according to SeaWorld San Diego, which regularly screens ill, injured, or stranded harbor seals rescued SEE SEALS, A7

n A long-lost Warhol surf documentary shot in town, resurfaces for its La Jolla debut.
By Pat Sherman In 1968, the same year the late pop artist Andy Warhol so presciently proclaimed, “in the future, everyone will be worldfamous for 15 minutes,” the artist-provocateur traveled to La Jolla with his colorful cast of characters to film a movie about surfing culture, titled “San Diego Surf.” Though upon his return to New York City Warhol was shot in a foiled murder attempt and never completed the film, La Jollans will get a chance to see it in the near future, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (MCASD)
on Prospect Street. Representatives with MCASD and the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburg have confirmed that they are in discussions to screen the film in MCASD’s Sherwood Auditorium, possibly during the San Diego Film Festival (Sept. 26-30). The 90-minute film, which was completed in 1995 from a rough cut by longtime Warhol collaborator, Paul Morrissey, has been languishing in the vaults for more than a decade, for reasons the Warhol Museum’s Assistant Curator of Film and Video, Greg Pierce, was hesitant to divulge. The movie, shot using color, 16-millimeter

Family reunited with rare cat lost on vacation in La Jolla
Big oil protest sees small turnout in La Jolla
A
bout 30 people lined up for the international Hands Across the Sand protest against offshore oil drilling and for clean energy, Saturday, Aug. 4 on La Jolla Shores Beach. A woman with a bullhorn tried to motivate beachgoers to join in and “stand up to big oil,” but there weren’t many takers. The event began in New Zealand, moved across the world, and ended in Hawaii. handsacrossthesand.com — Greg Wiest
By Pat Sherman A Chicago family that lost their rare cat while vacationing in La Jolla — on the same street where a coyote attacked and killed another cat July 25 — is relieved to be reunited with their beloved pet, which was discovered roaming around on its own three miles from where it went missing. “It’s like having my child back,” the cat’s owner, 22-year-old Mike Fosco, told the La Jolla Light. “I don’t plan on having kids for a while, so for now this is my child, and I couldn’t be any more relieved. … He travels with me pretty much everywhere I go.” Fosco said a family in the hills of north La Jolla found his cat and returned it, for an undisclosed amount. The cat was found three miles from the house where it slipped out the night of July 17, near the intersection of Fay Avenue and Pearl Street. “He made quite a trek,” said Fosco, noting that his
Ivy, a rare Savannah cat who went missing, has been reunited with its owners, a Chicago family who was visiting La Jolla when the cat disappeared on July 17. Courtesy cat, “Ivy,” had lost three pounds by the time it was returned to him. Ivy is a rare Savannah cat, a cross between an African serval wildcat and a domestic cat. A first-generation Savannah can cost upwards of $20,000. Though Ivy is second-generation, he is nevertheless a pricey puss. The Fosco family posted 500 fliers throughout the La Jolla area after it went missing, offering $5,000 for the feline’s safe return, and even hired a team of bloodhounds to help sniff out the missing pet. However, Fosco said it was
the La Jolla community that assisted most in the cat’s safe recovery. “La Jolla’s a pretty awesome community when it comes to pets,” Fosco said. “Everyone was really helpful and really friendly through the whole process. “My family didn’t get a chance to enjoy La Jolla at all,” he added. “I’d like to go back there for a real trip, because it is a great little town.” Fosco now has a GPS collar on the cat, so that he can track its whereabouts on his computer and smartphone. “This shouldn’t be happening again,” he said.

Neurosciences venue now under Scripps Research auspices By Pat Sherman The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) is opening its 352-seat, acoustically superior performance auditorium — formerly under the stewardship of the Neurosciences Institute (NSI) — to commercial, corporate and nonprofit groups for the upcoming season, Oct. 1, 2012 through Sept. 30, 3013. Though TSRI owns the space, now renamed the Auditorium at TSRI, the Neurosciences Institute began leasing and operating the facility near UC San Diego in 1996, offering nonprofit performing arts and education groups regular, free access to the world-renowned concert venue. NSI’s lease on two adjacent research buildings owned by Scripps also expires Sept. 30. The organization’s research director, Dr. Einar Gall, said his organization would release information about its plans in the coming weeks. TSRI announced earlier this year that it does not have funds to allow arts organizations to continue using the auditorium for free. Moving forward, the rental rate for businesses and special events is $3,000 per event. Rental for qualified nonprofit groups, including performing arts organizations and educational groups that focus on science or aesthetic matters, is $1,500 per evening, plus any ancillary charges. These include the use of audio visual or lighting technicians, as well as caterers, which must be procured through TSRI’s list of approved vendors, who are familiar with

Mainly Mozart chamber musicians Steven Copes, Peter Wiley and Anna Polonsky performed last year in the auditorium formerly offered for free to the community by the Neurosciences Institute. Ken Jacques the space and its equipment, Scripps Research Institute spokeswoman Stacy Rosenberg said. Several nonprofit arts organizations have already booked space for the coming season, including the La Jolla Music Society, the Mainly Mozart Festival and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, Rosenberg said. Though some nonprofit groups who previously used the space wrote TSRI saying
they won’t be able to afford the $1,500 rental fee, Rosenberg said, “I think people understand the position Scripps Research Institute is in, in terms of being a nonprofit as well, why as a biomedical research institute we could not put money into this. … We needed financial participation from users; we just couldn’t give it away.” Christopher Beach, president and artistic director of the La Jolla Music Society, said
The auditorium formerly operated by the Neurosciences Institute is now under the auspices of The Scripps Research Institute, which owns the building. Courtesy

The series brings the winners of classical music competitions from around the world to La Jolla. “That theater is incredibly important to us; I’m delighted that we’ll still be there,” Beach said, noting that he feels the

La Jolla resident shot during home invasion San Diego police are searching for a gunman who stole jewelry and fur coats during a home invasion robbery in La Jolla Aug. 1. The gunman fired off three rifle shots as he fled, grazing the 76-year-old homeowner in the face. A female real estate agent who had shown the house in the 7400 block of Hillside Drive (at the corner of Via Sienna) was locking up around 6:15 p.m. when the robber demanded the agent go back inside and show him where the jewelry was, San Diego Police Officer David Stafford said. The perpetrator ransacked the house, telling the real estate agent to stay inside,
before leaving. As he walked outside, the gunman confronted the 76-year-old owner, who was just returning with his wife. The robber went to his car, got a long rifle and pointed it at the homeowner, firing two rounds into the ground. He then pointed the rifle at the victim and fired a third round that grazed the victim’s face. The owner was taken to a trauma center with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the face. The suspect was described as being a white male in his late 30s, having blond hair and wearing glasses. He drove a black Porsche.— City News Service/Pat Sherman

Two arrested in La Jolla/UTC burglaries Detectives with the San Diego Police Department’s Auto Theft Unit arrested two males suspected of committing a series of residential burglaries that included the theft of luxury vehicles. Gabriel Castano (30) and George Moore (48) face multiple charges, including burglary, auto theft, possession of stolen property, and possession of a controlled substance. On Feb. 16, a University City home was burglarized, during which jewelry, computers and a 2006 Porsche Cayman were taken. On June 12, a home in La Jolla was burglarized and a 1995 Porsche Carrera was stolen from the garage. Jewelry, computers and a rare Picasso lithograph were also taken.
On July 2, San Diego Police Auto Theft detectives received an anonymous tip through San Diego County Crime Stoppers that the La Jolla Porsche was at a warehouse in San Marcos. Detectives recovered the stolen Porsche and located a dismantled 2005 Ford GT stolen from Rancho Santa Fe. They also collected evidence that led to the recovery of the Porsche stolen from University City. Further follow-up led to the recovery of many valuable items, also believed stolen. Anyone with information concerning these cases is asked to contact Detective Jim Kistner at (619) 533-5712 or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. — San Diego Police Reports

Planning association approves scaled-down Bird Rock project By Pat Sherman During its Aug. 2 meeting, La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) trustees voted 13-2-1 to approve a twostory, mixed-use development at 5702 La Jolla Blvd. It includes 10 residential rental units and 7,726 square feet of commercial space. In July, the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance Committee approved the project, though the Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) rejected it, stating that findings for a coastal development permit and neighborhood development permit could not be made because La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance does not allow tandem parking for commercial uses (six of the project’s 26 parking spaces are tandem). DPR also rejected the project because there is only 21 feet on the alley for cars to back up or turn around. Addressing CPA members, project architect Claude-Antho-

ny Marengo said tandem parking is actually allowed via a neighborhood development permit, provided it is limited to assigned employee parking. Several Bird Rock residents said they appreciated the concessions developer Michael Krambs has made in recent years, including use of flush balconies, a pleasing façade and removal of an initially proposed third story. Two years ago, the development wound up in San Diego Superior Court, after the San Diego City Council approved the then three-story development in a two-story zone. The earlier incarnation also provided street access to the parking garage, rather than from the alley behind the property. In response to concerns about potential bottleneck situations in the dead-end alley, Marengo noted that the project would add 2.6 inches to the width of the alley. “It will be a much bigger alley once this development goes in,” he said. Jane Reldan asked where customers would park if the six commercial spaces are all designated for employees. “If you get the employees off the street, that frees up the public parking,” Marengo replied. “People aren’t leaving their cars for six and eight hours at a (time).” Recessed balconies with planters will also add a measure of privacy for adjacent neighbors, Marengo said. Darcy Ashley, who lives adjacent to the project, said she appreciates that the balconies no longer protrude, and other developer concessions, such as the appearance of an articulated roof. “This is a situation where we’ve had a lot of angst in the community,” she said, but after nearly two decades of looking at a dirt lot, “the neighbors I’ve talked to really seem to embrace having something built.” In other CPA news n Ad hoc concerns: CPA trustees discussed whether an ad hoc committee formed to address potential conflicts of interest when a trustee represents a project up for review by the CPA should include more non-professional representation from the community. Its current ad hoc committee, chaired by trustee Phil Merten and vice-chaired by trustee Mike Costello, includes three architects and one attorney. Architects and building professionals typically sit on community advisory groups and recuse themselves from votes involving their clients, though instances have occurred where trustees are representing projects in direct opposition to the CPA’s position on those projects.

Scaling Down Your youngest child has just left home! Your present house now seems enormous. Your empty nest has prompted thoughts of selling your home and moving to a smaller, more manageable house. Before you make a move, you should consult two important professionals...your Realtor and your tax planner. A good Realtor will be able to tell you the value of your current home and the availability of houses in your preferred area. Buying a smaller home can have important advantages. You may be able to keep your same property tax rate if you are 55 yrs and are buying a house of lesser value, check with your tax person on this. It is known as Prop 60. A smaller house can also simplify property maintenance and generate cash, which you can put into income producing investments. You will also want to review the tax act of 1997 with your tax person. This allows you to exclude capital gains on the sale of your home whether you buy up or buy down. *($250,000 for single person and $500,000 per couple) Once again talk to your tax person for there are restrictions for this exclusion. Your Realtor and your tax planner can provide valuable information to assist you in making decisions.

Claude-Anthony Marengo of Marengo Morton Architects gives a presentation on a mixed-use development at 5702 La Jolla Blvd. The scaled-down project, formerly known ‘Bird Rock Station,’ received CPA support on Aug. 2. Pat Sherman Jolla Farms, was represented by immediate past CPA president Joe LaCava, while current CPA president Tony Crisafi presented on behalf of neighbors opposed to the project. Both Crisafi, an architect, and LaCava, a development consultant, volunteered to step down from the ad hoc committee if it would allay concerns. “Excluding myself, there would (still) be three members who have previously represented applicants or opponents” of projects before the CPA, Crisafi said, adding that the function of the committee is more “operational” than “ethical” in nature. Merten noted that the public may attend ad hoc committee meetings and take part in the discussions. “Your comments will be recorded and passed forward to this body,” he said. “The idea is to be as inclusive in points of view as we possibly can.” Costello said the committee requires “a certain level of expertise to really drive this thing forward.” “Anyone else can be there and their voice will be heard just as loud, and anything you write we will read,” he said. However, Darcy Ashley said she feels that it is often “really difficult for professionals to hold one another accountable.” “It’s one of the few committees that really doesn’t require technical knowledge,” she said. “It’s something that’s right or wrong, and that’s something that the community at large can really weigh in on.” In the end, the current configuration of the ad hoc committee was approved, 9-2-3. n Residential parking elimination: After considerable discussion, the CPA also approved a variance for the elimination of an on-site parking space, as well as a neighborhood development permit for a 5-foot-tall wall in the public right of way, at 475 Gravilla Street. Noting that the project was unanimously approved by the DPR during its June meeting, Matt Peterson, an attorney

This is not the first time that fatal influenza has been observed in seal populations. Starting in 1979, there have been a handful of outbreaks caused by different flu strains that have affected seals. In the most recent case, postmortem (necropsy) analysis of five seal pups pointed convincingly to avian H3N8 influenza A virus; similar to a virus circulating in North American waterfowl since at least 2002. The work, carried out by the Center for Infection & Immunity at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), New England

Seal populations worldwide could fall victim to a deadly avian flu strain. sealsitters.org Aquarium, the USGS National Wildlife Health Center, SeaWorld, and EcoHealth Alliance, reflects the collaborative efforts of biologists and researchers from agencies, organizations, and the zoological park industry around the globe to assist in the rescue of stranded marine mammals and to investigate the underlying causes. Ducks and geese carry a wide range of flu strains sometimes infecting individual mammals, but rarely does the virus spread from one mammal to another. Mutations of the H3N8 virus, however, indicate recent adaption to mammal hosts with the
potential for cross-species transmission. Should cross-species transmission occur, infected seals could then act as a source for human infection. Thus, the new virus, dubbed “seal H3N8,” is being studied to see if it poses a threat for human health, bearing in mind that the discovery a new mammal-mediated virus does not mean a human pandemic is inevitable. NOTE: Seal H3N8 should not be confused with avian H5N1, the most worrisome subtype of bird flu virus to date, which has spread across Asia and Africa. Since 2003, there have been 607 cases of H5N1 in humans worldwide, leading to 358 deaths.

While more information about seal H3N8 is being uncovered, a monitoring system is already solidly in place with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service as the lead agency that coordinates responses and investigations of marine mammal mortality events. “The marine mammal stranding network, which is composed of scientific, academic, rehabilitation, and state and Federal agencies, would notify the Working Group on Marine Mammal Unusual Mortality Events if they suspected that there was a significant dieoff of harbor seals along our coast,” said Kerri Danil, research biologist with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center, in La Jolla. “The Working Group
reviews all available information and determines if a mortality event is unusual by using standardized criteria.” An Unusual Mortality Event (UME) is defined under the Marine Mammal Protection Act as a stranding that is unexpected, involves a significant die-off of any marine mammal population, and demands immediate response. There are seven criteria used to determine whether a mortality event is “unusual.” A single criterion or combination of criteria may indicate the occurrence of an unusual mortality event. In the case of the 2011 die-off of harbor seal pups, four of the seven UME criteria were present. Once a UME is declared, the Working Group provides
advice on investigations and funding for investigations. In San Diego, SeaWorld and NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center are the local stranding responders and would lead any local investigations pertaining to such an event.

From time to time I’d try to provoke a few fights so I could film them, but everybody was too relaxed even to fight.” Art as Commerce As “San Diego Surf” heads toward its La Jolla debut, longtime La Jolla surfboard shaper, architect and artist, Tim Bessell, is keeping Warhol’s spirit alive through a series of five boards he was commissioned to design for the Andy Warhol Foundation, each bearing one of artist’s iconic images and signature. Bessell said he chose surfboard shapes that best complemented each image he was given to work with, such as the pairing of Warhol’s “Guns” lithograph print with a big-wave gun surfboard and one of Warhol’s paintings from “The Last Supper” series with a fish-style board. Bessell’s designs were created using digital photo and graphics programs. After receiving final approval from the Warhol Foundation, each will be digitally printed on fabric before being applied to the boards. Former San Diego UnionTribune publisher David Copley, a collector of Bessell’s functional art and other works, recently picked up a Warhol board at an MCASD auction for $18,000. A portion of proceeds from the sale of the surfboards, of which Bessell was commissioned to make an initial 50, will benefit the Warhol Foundation, which has distributed more than $200 million in cash grants to arts organizations since its inception in 1987, the year Warhol died. The foundation currently has 23 such merchandise licensing agreements, which include brands such as Alien Workshop skateboards, NARS

Warhol’s pop art influence is present in some of Tim Bessell’s other artworks, such as this giant cigarette package, which includes an anti-smoking film loop that is visible when the viewer gazes through skull eyes on the piece. Pat Sherman FROM WARHOL, A1 film, was gifted to the Warhol Museum in 1997 and to date has only been shown in piecemeal. “It obviously needs to be shown in La Jolla at some point,” Pierce said. The Warhol Museum characterizes the film as “an outrageous surfing soap opera that revolves around a beautiful woman and her gay husband who share their beach house with a group of surfers.” Michael Hermann, director of licensing for the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, told the La Jolla Light, “while shooting a surf film in La Jolla may sound like an odd fit to some, ‘San Diego Surf’ is quite consistent with the arc of many of
Warhol’s other films, which feature the drama of beautiful misfits getting into trouble, having sex and doing drugs.” In his memoir, “Popism: The Andy Warhol Sixties,” the artist called La Jolla “one of the most beautiful places I’d ever seen.” “We rented a mansion by the sea and a couple of other houses for people who were going to be in the movie,” Warhol wrote of the film, shot on the beach at WindanSea, La Jolla Shores and Marine Street. “Everybody was so happy being in La Jolla that the New York problems we usually made our movies about went away — the edge came right off everybody. We’d lounge around listening to our transistors on the beach. …

Cosmetics and Medicom Toy. Bessell said designing the Warhol series, which he refers to as “Andy’s Quiver,” was a natural progression for him. “There’s a lot of artwork that goes on a surfboard, not just the sculpture,” he said. “It’s sculpture and painting, or sculpture and graphics — and they go hand-in-hand.” Bessell said that when he approached the foundation with his concept for the series, they liked the idea of collaborating with someone who had actually met Warhol. Bessell, who studied architecture at San Diego State University, recalled meeting Warhol at the Playboy Club in New York City a few year’s before the artist’s death. Bessell’s lead into the conversation was to ask Warhol if he still had two surfboards he purchased from board shaper and WindanSea native, Carl Ekstrom, which the wig-topped artist purchased while filming “San Diego Surf.” Warhol still had them. During their conversation, the artist invited the young Bessell to tour his studio and the offices of “Interview” magazine a few days later. “I was really enamored with Andy Warhol; he was like my idol at that time,” Bessell said. “When I first saw him I didn’t want to do it; I was just too nervous. My buddies dared me into it.” After mustering the fortitude to approach his idol, Bessell said, “It all worked out pretty well. “I call him the passive participant, because he was just standing there all by himself, with five beautiful models … (but) he was very accessible. … It was one of those serendipitous moments, like I was supposed to meet him, maybe for this.”

Salt Room offers spa experience and halotherapy New Business Report
Ann Cameron straightens the salt hand scrub station at her new store, The Salt Room La Jolla, at 7509 Draper Ave., Suite A. Shelli DeRobertis
BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Halotherapy sounds a little heavenly, and it is. The first “salt cave� to come to Southern California is now open in La Jolla. It’s a 200-square-foot room with 3,000 pounds of Dead Sea salt on the walls and floor where people can relax inside for 45-minute sessions in the recreation of a natural salt environment. The Salt Room La Jolla opened mid-June at 7509 Draper Ave., and owner Amy Cameron said she got the idea to open the spa-like business after going into a salt room in Florida while vacationing with her husband. “I knew I wanted to do something meditation-related,� she said. The man who owns the Florida salt room she visited has family in Jordan, and they ship salt to him from the Dead Sea. Cameron now uses that same supplier. To get her salt room started took a shipment of 85 65-pound salt bags. Cameron and her husband, Mike, layered the walls on their own, calling it a “labor of love.� The room is quite white inside, but

softened by dim-colored LED lights in green and blue, which are symbolic of healing the lungs and throat, respectively, in the practice of reflexology. Soft music plays and zero-gravity recliners invite relaxation. The air is pure and crisp, and climate controlled to below 40 percent humidity. The experience is intended to be relaxing and healing. A generator pumps microscopic salt particles into the air that deliver the 21 minerals of the Dead Sea salt into the lungs and onto the skin. “When you’re relaxing, your immune system can heal,� Cameron said, noting that the salt’s minerals benefit the skin, and some countries outside the United States actually have salt rooms in clinics to help heal skin conditions and provide respiratory relief. No cell phones or electronics are allowed inside. The environment is sterile and requires disposable socks be worn. “I encourage people to do a few laps around the room because the thick, crunchy salt chunks stimulate the circulation system,� Cameron advised.

‘Bird Rock Bandit’ misses arraignment A man who served time behind bars for his role in a La Jolla street fight that left a professional surfer dead five years ago failed to show up for arraignment Aug. 6 on misdemeanor domestic violence charges, prompting a judge to issue a $30,000 warrant for his arrest. Eric House, 25, is charged with misdemeanor battery and a restraining order violation in connection with the June 24 incident at his girlfriend’s Pacific Beach apartment. In May of 2007, House and four other members of a group of surfing buddies calling themselves the “Bird Rock Bandits” got into a scuffle with acclaimed Hawaiiborn surfer Emery Kauanui, resulting in Kauanui’s death. Seth Cravens of La Jolla was convicted of second-degree, while House and the other co-defendants pleaded guilty to lesser charges and were sentenced to jail time.

Romneys requested steep tax break on La Jolla home Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, asked San Diego County for property tax relief after paying cash for their $12 million Mediterranean-style beachfront La Jolla home in 2008, it was reported this week. San Diego County assessor records show the Romneys’ asked that their 2009 assessment, $12.24 million, be reduced to $6.8 million, maintaining that their home had lost about 45 percent of its value in the first seven months they owned it, according to a Los Angeles Times report. Thirteen months later, after hiring an attorney to guide them, the Romneys filed an amended appeal, contending the home had suffered a less-dramatic fall of 27.3
From CPA, A6 representing the property owners, said he was surprised that the CPA pulled the item from its July consent agenda for further discussion. Peterson characterized the property as a “little, tiny cottage” of 600 square feet on a 2,000-square-foot lot. He said the driveway was so steep and short that it would scrape the underside of a car to pull it up into the garage. Parking a car in the short driveway causes it to protrude out into the sidewalk, he said, rendering both the garage and sidewalk unusable. Though a few trustees suggested the property owners could build a submerged garage, Peterson said it would prove too costly for his
percent, to $8.9 million, the newspaper reported. The Times reported that the couple filed an appeal for the 2010 tax year, claiming the house had dropped further, to $7.5 million, 38.7 percent less than the home’s assessed value. As a result, the Romneys have saved about $109,000 in property taxes over four years, according to The Times. Romney’s wealth is estimated at $250 million. He has rejected calls from Democrats and Republicans to release his income tax returns prior to 2010. Since the real estate market crashed, about 250,000 San Diego County homes have been reassessed at lower values. — City News Service
clients. The retired property owners, having never used the garage, have set it up as a hobby shop, Peterson said. Elimination of a curb cut used to access the driveway, will also create an additional street parking space, he said. Trustees Phil Merten and Laura DuCharme Conboy argued that ignoring the municipal code to remove the on-site parking requirement sets a bad precedent, even though other residents in the neighborhood have similarly converted their garages and removed outdated driveways without a city permit. “Across the city, even a 300 square-foot studio requires one parking space,” Merten said. “Rather

than create a contemporary parking space, money was spent to put in expensive retaining walls.” Peterson said the property owners plan to file a voluntary deed restriction on their property, which prohibits them or a future owner from increasing the home’s square footage without adding an on-site parking space. n No Nautilus speed increase: CPA trustees voted not to approve a speed limit increase on Nautilus Street, from 25- to 35-miles per hour. n New CPA Trustee: Bob Collins, who formerly served on the planning association and a number of other La Jolla advisory groups, was voted in as the new LJCPA trustee.

Bubble-blowing artist bids La Jolla a fond adieu By Will Bowen “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I am a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. There is so little hope of advancement.” — Clark Gesner The above words of wit and wisdom can be found on one of the many humorous and insightful postcards of artist Susie Reneau. Reneau said goodbye to La Jolla after 35 years of residence last Saturday and Sunday by throwing her 21st annual summer bubble-blowing garden party at her cottage at 7330 Eads St. “I thought I would be at a much higher station in life at this point in my career, but I still have my creativity and I still have my hopes and dreams. I just turned 65 and I’m glad I don’t have to go to a senior home. I am always busy, never bored, and always creating.” Reneau brought out her entire collection of more than 350 different bubble blowers for the party and
Susie Reneau makes bubbles at her bubble-blowing garden party last weekend. Photos by Will Bowen placed them throughout her large garden for attendees to try. Guests went home with a free bubble blower of their choice and one of her postcards, which, at one time were sold at SeaWorld. “I love bubble blowers because you can see rainbows in the bubbles and I love how happy it makes people to blow bubbles. I have been holding bubbleblowing parties each July for
the past 21 years. And for the past 33 years, I have also held a garden party at Christmas time.” Reneau is headed south to Pacific Beach to her new garage apartment. She is leaving the tiny white cottage that she rented from Spencer Wilson, who was manager of the Cove Theater for many years. Wilson lived in a second small cottage right next to
Reneau. He passed away last Thanksgiving and his heirs are selling the lot both cottages sit on. “Spenser said that at one time these two tiny cottages were the only houses on the block and that an orange grove stretched from here all the way down Eads Street to the home of Ellen Browning Scripps,” she recalled. “I remember meeting Spencer Wilson when I was 14 years old. He was the manager of the Granada Theater, which was what they called the La Jolla movie theater before it became The Cove. Spencer began working at the Granada in 1929 when he was a sophomore at La Jolla High. He ended up managing the Granada, then The Cove, for 60 years from 1929 to 1989, except for a stint in the Navy during World War II. Spencer was an important member of the La Jolla community who counseled many and knew everybody and everything that was happening. “Later in his life, Spencer befriended nature photographer Tom Mangelsen, owner of Images of Nature Gallery in La Jolla, and went on several photographic exhibitions with him. Then he worked in his gallery after his retirement from The Cove. “I guess you could say that I have lived through a lot of the history of La Jolla. For instance, I was a friend of movie star Cliff Robertson for more than 20 years. He was a very generous man of high integrity who supported my artwork. “I also worked with Carl
Postcard by Susie Reneau Rogers, who founded the Encounter Group Movement and Humanistic Psychology. I ran the women’s center at his Center for the Study of the Person. He was an amazing man — a real groundbreaker. “I also knew Jonas Salk, the inventor of the polio vaccine and founder of the Salk Institute because my mother was his yoga instructor. “For a time I ran the movie memorabilia store above the Cove Theater. I brought many people in to speak, such as Mae West’s secretary, who brought some of the actress’ costumes and jewelry. “This last year I made more than 600 calendars by hand. Each one had its own unique touch. My postcards used to sell at SeaWorld, until it was taken over by Anheiser-Busch. Locally, they are on sale at Second Act West, across from Vons grocery store. Overall, I have had some 50 art shows throughout the country.” Reneau was born in Hollywood and went to
college at Immaculate Heart Catholic College in Los Angeles, even though she was an Episcopalian. She chose the college because she liked the art program, which was headed by Sister Corita, the artist who designed the U.S. Postal Series 1985 “Love Stamp.” The New York Times once said, “Sister Corita is to bread and wine like Andy Warhol is to tomato soup.” After three years at Immaculate Heart College, she said she decided to deepen her religious commitment. She moved East to enter an Anglican convent in Boston. But the cracked pelvis she suffered in an auto accident forced her to leave the convent to recuperate and she returned to Immaculate Heart to finish her degree. On a trip to Chicago she met her soon-to-be husband Ron Reneau, who had spent 14 years in a Catholic seminary studying to be a priest. They married and moved to La Jolla. “What I like about La Jolla is its European feel. There are a lot of eccentric, talented, and brilliant people here. We have more Noble Prize winners in residence than in any other city in the world. Yet La Jolla still has a smalltown feel and people in the Village will get to know you by name. I am going to miss it. I say to those still living in La Jolla: Love it while you have it!” To reach Susie Reneau, e-mail reneauart@gmail.com or call (858) 459-5608.

Community Center board forgets entrance history Glen Rasmussen’s Guest Commentary (Aug. 2 issue) on the HUD-funded remodeling of the city-owned former Florence Riford Adult Center (now known as the La Jolla Community Center) is an imaginative spin that deserves a non-fiction response. The record needs some adjustment. Rasmussen paints a (debatable) picture of extra costs being incurred by his board of directors because of demands from “a nowdisbarred attorney” to place the ADA-approved entrance to the building directly adjacent to the main entry to the building which faces La Jolla Boulevard. The fact is that is the law, which was upheld by the City of San Diego and required for legitimate use of federal HUD monies that would not otherwise be used for projects in an area with La Jolla’s socio-economics. In addition, for two years Rasmussen’s board attempted to move the main entrance of the Riford building from its existing location along commercial La Jolla Boulevard to residential Bon Air Street, without considering surrounding neighborhood peace, quiet or well being. Lacking help or mediation from the city council representative, the neighborhood fought back and ultimately prevailed: the entrance of the community center is where it has always been — facing La Jolla Boulevard — and the HUD-funded ADA ramp and entry are legally adjacent. The Bonair neighbors hope the new incarnation of the center thrives and urge contributions to the final fundraising needed to complete its capital improvements. Probably checks should be made out in the new name. Frances O’Neill Zimmerman La Jolla

Our Readers Write article’s author, Pat Sherman, for his journalistic integrity in posting an addendum to the original article on your website. The addendum made a crucial clarification to the story by noting that the zoning for the subject property, as well as all the neighbors’, allows three stories of construction (subject, of course, to the 30-foot height limit) by right. In the specific case of the article‘s subject house, the use of the ”controversial” zoning code section was not directly related to the existence of a third floor in the design. Dan Linn Bird Rock
Some seal advocates don’t practice what they preach First of all, let me say that I have an advanced degree in Marine Biology, and I love all sea creatures — large and small! I read in the La Jolla Light about the Coastal Commission’s decision to keep the rope up at the Children’s Pool year-round. Yet, I was surprised the last few times when I walked by the Children’s Pool to see no rope there. So, today when I walked by and still saw no rope, I went up to the Seal Information Table and asked the “lady”(?) there why there was no rope. She said it would be up in a couple of weeks. I looked down at the beach and saw that there were a few children playing happily in the sand at the water’s edge with their parents nearby. There were many seals out lounging on the nearby rocks. I said to the Seal Advocate lady, “I kind of like it this way; it’s so nice to see the children playing happily on the beach.” The following conversation ensued: Seal Lady: You are a hateful person. Me: (amazed and dumbfounded at her nasty statement): I love children and seals, and it’s nice to see the children happy here today. Seal Lady (raising her voice in a nasty way): You are ignorant scum.
The second is 12:30-1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2 with council candidates Lightner and Ellis. If you have questions for these presentations, e-mail them to Ron Jones at allegrojones@sbcglobal.net The Rotary meetings are open to guests. Reservations can be at made by calling (858) 456-0907 or visiting rotarycluboflajolla.com
Me (calmly): Don’t you love children, too? Seal Lady: Ignorant scum! Me: I’m just happy to see the children happy. Seal Lady kept repeating: Hateful person! Ignorant scum! Me (calmly and still amazed at her outburst): You are doing more harm than good for the seal situation by talking and yelling like this when all I asked was an innocent question about why the rope barrier wasn’t up after reading about the Coastal Commisstion’s recent decision. Seal Lady: You came here just to harrass us. Me: No, I came here to ask you a question about the rope barrier. So, I moved on, disgusted at the nastiness and mean-spirited response from the Seal Advocate person. They are truly doing more harm than good to the seal situation by their hostile attitude. I was so sorry to learn that the “Information Table“ was not for information at all, but a place from which to rant and rave irrationally at people they consider to be a threat — even when no threat is intended. The Children’s Pool would be much better off with a ranger to answer questions than the socalled “Information Table” that is more hostile than informative. Linda Pequegnat, Ph.D. La Jolla
Casa Beach should belong to the seals Lovely La Jolla provided another Tucson family with a deliciously cool reprieve from our summer heat. Imagine our surprise, however, to see people frightening the adorable seal pups off of their rightful resting spot on Casa Beach. People don’t realize that their presence is causing seal pups to drown from exhaustion due to an absence of safe haven. Please return Casa Beach to the seals. La Jolla’s seals draw tourists. How disappointing that government officials have failed to protect this precious natural resource. We should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing this travesty. Karen Lane Tucson, Ariz.

Football season in La Jolla has officially started By Phil DaileY or most area football players, their summer is officially over. It’s finally football season. Many of the high schools are already practicing and so too is La Jolla Pop Warner, a league that suits up players in full pads as young as 7 years old. Monday night at La Jolla Country Day School, La Jolla Pop Warner held its fifth practice of the season — but for many, it was the first “real” practice in full pads. “We have more kids in the program than we ever have and we are excited about the season and we think we are going to field completive teams at every level and have a lot of fun,” said Scott Rosencrans, the league’s president.

La Jolla’s Johnson misses medal by half second in women’s kayak There are two local Olympians who are representing the United States at the 2012 London Games. Here is what they are up to as of Tuesday, Aug. 7: Carrie Johnson: The La Jolla kayaker, and three-time Olympian, competed in the women’s K-1 500 meters Tuesday, placing fourth, only a half-second from the Bronze medal. Johnson, a La Jolla High grad, posted a time of 1 minute, 53.983 seconds in the event. She was the top American in the race. Finland’s Anne Rikala was first (1:52.641), followed by Denmark’s Henriette Engle Hansen (1:52.650) and Germany’s Katrin Wagner-Augustin (1:53.983). Johnson still has one more event to come in the London Games as she competes in the K-1 200 meters Friday. Brian Alexander: The La Jolla resident
was also in action this past week. Alexander, a defenseman on the U.S. water polo team, helped the USA men advance to the medal round after posting a 3-2 record in Group B. In the team’s last two games, they defeated Spain, 10-8, on July 31 but slipped up on Aug. 4 in a 11-6 loss to Serbia. The team will have a tough task ahead in the quarterfinals as they play Croatia, a team that went 5-0 in Group A play.

La Jolla Pop Warner players go through drills Monday.
Phil Dailey
From Football, A16 tally of kids in the program is more than 180. La Jolla Pop Warner operates at La Jolla Country Day and has leagues that start with flag football (5-to 7-year olds) and full-contact leagues that include mitey-mite (7-to 9-year olds), junior peewee (8-to 10-year olds), pee wee (9-to 11-year olds), junior midget (10-to 12-year olds) and unlimited (11-to 14-year olds). Conditioning requirements make it so all players must have 10 hours without pads, one reason there were still a few players who had yet to get in full gear Monday night. Once all players get 10 hours in pads, they will be able to move ahead into full-contact and scrimmage drills. “We then proceed into our full-contact week, which is next week,” Rosencrans said. The league will scrimmage on Aug. 18 against San Carlos, followed by its first games on Aug. 25. All games will be held at La Jolla Country Day. n For more information, go to www.lajollapopwarner.org

What brought you to La Jolla? My husband started his company, PacketVideo, in San Diego because it is a great place for startups. We had friends here and we loved California. What are your favorite places in La Jolla? I enjoy La Jolla Music Society concerts in Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art, walking on WindanSea beach, swimming in the Cove, and breakfast at La Valencia. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you improve in La Jolla? I volunteer to count the homeless people in La Jolla village for the Regional Taskforce on the Homeless. We have 10-20 people sleeping in our streets each night. I also see the panhandlers during the day. I believe that the best way to fight the blight and sadness of panhandling and homelessness is for each neighborhood to take care of its own. Thus, I would like La Jolla to have a permanent home for the few homeless people we have who cannot care for themselves.

Local architects host camp for young designers BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS ore than a dozen middle and high school students spent a week drawing, measuring, tracing, touring homes and designing their own at the first Young Architects Camp, hosted by the La Jolla Historical Society, July 23-27, at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. The class of nine boys and four girls met daily for six-hour sessions and were taught tools-of-the trade by three seasoned professionals. Architects Trip Bennett and Laura DuCharme Conboy — who combined, have 45 years of experience creating homes — were teaching the session on July 27, when Bennett jokingly introduced DuCharme. “She’s the second best architect in town,” Bennett said. Joking aside, both architects have had their work featured in many publications, and both are members of the La Jolla Historical Society, which works to preserve the town’s beloved sites and structures. Jeffrey Shorn, another private-practice architect in La Jolla also shared his expertise and helped teach the camp.

Architect Trip Bennett works with Donald Henely, 15, of Chula Vista. Twelve-year-old Cami Hickman, of La Jolla, said she was excited to attend. “I really enjoyed it,” she said. “I like that we got to design our own space.” For her finished product, Hickman drew a three-story modern home. Each camp day led up to the final Friday project, which was to draw plans for a structure on the small plot

FROM ARCHITECTS, B1 as part of the camp included a tour of five La Jolla residences — including Irving Gill’s 1920s home and Jonathan Segal’s contemporary glass-styled house. The students also received a ComputerAided Design (CAD) lesson from Tyler Grant, an area instructor. Quin Cooney, 14, and his friend, Callan Haxo, 14, both came from San Francisco to attend the camp. “I learned how to use Google SketchUp, how to make these structures, and design three-dimensional spaces,” Haxo said. Bennett said the computers were rented for the camp and that SketchUp is a free program that teaches design and engineering. DuCharme Conboy said the students were instructed to design a structure that complies with La Jolla’s building codes and not rise above 30 feet, noting that building codes are an important part of architecture. “You might learn about the uniform building codes, but in La Jolla and San Diego, local codes are extensive and they vary from neighborhood to neighborhood,” she said. To become an architect, one must attend college for five years to earn a Bachelor of Architecture degree and also pass a licensure test. A 2009 Architect magazine survey of 1,392 respondents revealed the median salary for an architect is $88,000. A 2012 poll shows that 26 percent of architects are female. Businesses that sponsored the camp include: The Cottage Restaurant, Girard Gourmet, Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, Baskin Robbins, Extreme Pizza, Brick & Bell Cafe, Jersey Mike’s, Coldstone Creamery and Michelle Coulon’s Dessertier.

Dining at the track? Blue Moon Celebrity Grill is a good bet! By Kelley Carlson t appears Del Mar Racetrack visitors are finding that the venue’s Blue Moon Celebrity Grill’s patio views and unique menu are a winning combination. Even though the season is not quite half over, it has already been noted that the restaurant’s popularity has increased since last year (when it was simply known as Celebrity Grill) and that it’s gaining a following of “regulars,” according to manager Cristina Burns. Yet the establishment, which added Blue Moon to its name due to its new sponsorship, is not widely advertised. It’s not mentioned on the track’s website, nor is it featured in the racing program handed out at the gates. “This is a secret gem of a restaurant,” Burns said. One of the attractions is the view from the covered outdoor patio. Guests can study the horses being saddled in the paddock below and catch glimpses of the ocean just a short distance away, while enjoying sitdown food and beverage service. In the main dining room, guests will find

■ Blue Moon Celebrity Grill’s BBQ Chips a glowing neon “Blue Moon” and stars ... Hollywood stars, that is. Original photos of celebrities who frequented the track when it was first opened by Bing Crosby and Pat O’Brien in 1937 grace the walls. A full-service bar on the west end of the establishment serves six draft beers, which naturally includes Blue Moon brands; wine and Champagne; and signature cocktails such as the Del Margarita and Red Bull-fecta. Even after the horses leave the paddock

for the track, racing fans won’t miss out on the action. Nine TVs around the Blue Moon provide live simulcasts, and bettors have the opportunity to place wagers. It doesn’t matter where one sits, “you get the same fabulous service, outside or in,” Burns emphasized. And while most of the track’s public restaurants provide the same menu, Blue Moon Celebrity Grill’s offerings are different. There are four “starters” to choose from, including the Crunchy Tempura Green Beans with cusabi-ranch dip. Burns refers to these fried snacks as the equivalent of “healthy mozzarella sticks. They are handsdown amazing,” she said. Several “cold bites” are available, like The “Wedge” Steakhouse-Style Salad — baby iceberg lettuce, applewood smoked bacon, crumbled gorgonzola, tomatoes and Bermuda onions tossed together, with a side of Black Pepper Buttermilk Ranch dressing. All-Natural Brandt Beef Flat Iron Steak dusted with truffle salt can be added for a few extra dollars. The salad pairs nicely with a Blue Moon Belgian White.
Blue Moon’s full bar includes six draft beers, wine, Champagne and the racetrack’s signature cocktails.
The “warm bites” portion of the menu consists of sliders, flatbreads and sandwiches. One favorite is the Chicken Parmesan Sliders, with two small crispy chicken breasts topped with smoked mozzarella, marinara and basil pesto on brioche buns. For dessert, there is Del Mar’s Signature Carrot Cake with caramel sauce, and Sky High Frozen Mocha Mud Pie with chocolate sauce. An important note about dining at Blue Moon Celebrity Grill: Customers must have paid clubhouse admission to gain access to the third-floor eatery. Also, because seating at the Blue Moon is often in high demand (especially when the horses are in the paddock) guests are asked to stay for a maximum of 45 minutes. “Because the restaurant is open to the general admission public, we need to turn the tables over to service all our guests,” explained Sue Walls, director of catering and dining services for Premiere Food Services and Carriage Trade Catering at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Those who would like a table for the day may make arrangements through the Del Mar box office for a fee.
The patio overlooks the paddock and also provides an ocean view. PHOTOS By Kelley Carlson

MADISON GALLERY PRESENTS
JAE-HYO LEE
Exhibition: October 18th - November 14th Opening/Artist Reception: October 27th, 6-9pm
“I certainly do not have the power to make the world beautiful. I just hope to make those things that are seen beautiful.” - Jaehyo Lee Since graduating in 1992 with a BFA from the Hong-Ik University, Jaehyo Lee (1965) has gained acclaim both in his native Korea and internationally for his distinct yet intimately crafted oeuvre. Combining distinct traces of Land Art, Arte Povera and Minimalism Lee´s works cast a questioning eye over the roots of form, its function and its role within the natural world. Lee´s works willfully play with the oft-contested boundaries between modern art and design, referencing the idealist´s cubes, cylinders, and cones as perversions of the chaise longue, the coffee table, the lampshade, and even the humble doughnut. Revealing a subtly humorous and unsentimental attitude to nature, what unites these works is a belief that the beauty of art is a product of the labour from whence it comes, whether this be the meticulous carving of larch trunks into the form of a perfect sphere or, equally, the precise bending and sanding of thousands of nails hammered one after another into a hunk of cut lumber. Amongst many other distinctions Jaehyo was in 1998 Grand Prize Winner at the Osaka Triennial and in 2002 recipient of the prestigious Irish Sculpture in Woodland commission. His works are held in public and private collections across Europe, Asia and North America. Contact gallery for private preview of works.

Let Inga tell you ...
S
everal weeks ago, I wrote a column called “Where’s the Prozac for Techno Depression?” about feeling like I’d been left in the digital dust. That was largely because I HAVE been left in the digital dust. My younger son had insisted that the only way to overcome techno depression was techno skill acquisition. I got quite a few responses to that column from the similarly techno afflicted, but one particularly delightful one asserted: “Your younger son is dead wrong. The cure for techno-depression is techno-scorn.” He went on to conclude: “I won’t surrender my land line until they pry it from my cold, dead hands!” Definitely a kindred soul. So you can imagine how hard it was for me to write back and confess that a mere day before, I’d gone to the Dark Side. I bought an iPhone. The AT&T sales child tried to dispatch me post-purchase by telling me the phone was totally intuitive and I should just take it home and play with it. Hah! The fact that I was back at the AT&T store for the next nine days every morning when they opened with yellow notepad in hand tells you how intuitive these phones are. But I do have to say: my old phone should be shot. And the guy at Nokia who designed it should be shot, too. I feel far less bad about not being able to work the thing. The iPhone is infinitely, exponentially, stratospherically friendlier. I’m getting the hang of my new phone, but it hasn’t been without its truly terrifying moments. One feature I really have to be careful with: When trying to send texts (yes, me, texts!) my fat little fingers keep hitting the little icon next to the space bar and messing up my whole message. The third time it happened I started yelling bad words at the phone. (I have the frustration tolerance of a gnat.) Next thing I know the bad words show up on my screen. “Oh [a different bad word]!” I said, simultaneously realizing that that little icon is voice recognition. And sure enough, that word appears on the screen next to previous ones. Sweat breaks out on my forehead. How to get out of this message? (The choices were “Send” and “Done,” as opposed to the “Delete this message in perpetuity” option I was looking for.) I’m really going to have to behave myself. This phone knows a lot of bad words and it’s not afraid to use them. I felt better when I learned that a much younger friend couldn’t figure out how to get voicemail off her iPhone for the first six months. This might not seem unusual except that her husband was key in developing CDMA technology for cell phones. So, you might ask, why didn’t she
ask HIM for help? Well, first of all, because CDMA technology has nothing to do with actually accessing voicemail. And second, because her techo-geek husband has become about as patient attending to her tech-support needs as my techno-geek husband. Which is to say, downright surly. It also assumes that he himself can figure out how to get voicemail, a fact not in evidence. She reports that whenever she asked for help and he couldn’t figure it out, he merely handed it back to her and said, “Poor design.” And there are definitely some design flaws to this phone. Whole websites have been dedicated to the perils of Auto Correct. But more importantly, there needs to be a version of Siri for women’s phones. Unlike the TV commercial, when Siri is happy to cancel the guy’s tennis date, tell him when to put the gazpacho on to cool (where was it before? out in the sun?) and even tell him jokes, Siri has had only one answer to any question I’ve asked her: “I’m sorry. I can’t help you with that.” Can’t or won’t? Siri’s cloying voice was obviously designed to appeal to guys who are into fawning subservience. Women’s phones need Sirus. He would intone in a smoldering voice (and preferably a slight Italian accent), “Inga, how may my four-and-a-half inches be of service to you today?” And unlike Siri, the obsequious toady, he would actually perform. “Sirus, carissimo,” I would command. “Please locate all photos of me and make me look 30 pounds thinner.” And he’d say, “Subito, Inga bella.” But I have to confess, I’m liking this little phone. And even more amazing, I’m feeling all those moribund techno-brain cells that have been wheelchair bound for decades rising up, throwing off their tiny crutches, and climbing aboard the nearest synapse. So maybe my son was right. And no, Siri, you didn’t help with any of it. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

‘An Iliad’ unfolds a tale of love and destruction By Diana Saenger The overwhelming success in theaters of Robert Fagles’ translation of “An Iliad,” adapted by Denis O’Hare and Lisa Peterson, has brought the play to the La Jolla Playhouse. The reenactment of Homer’s classic poem about the Trojan War is retold through The Poet, whose stories are backed by the tones (and often odd sounds) of The Musician. Lisa Peterson (Playhouse’s “Surf Report” and “Be Aggressive”) also directs the play, a co-production with the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. The script centers on the gods and goddesses of its time who attempt to circumvent battle with love and a huge Trojan horse. From Agamemnon to Achilles and the Trojan hero Hector, Henry Woronicz

(“The Winter’s Tale,” Broadway’s “Julius Caesar,”) immerses himself in many characters as The Poet, to tell the story of a lifetime with love, anger, surprise and deep passion. Brian Ellingsen, who plays The Musician, has garnered huge acclaim for his sensitive and on-the-mark talent on the double bass
(an upright instrument also called a string bass). The creative team includes set designer Rachel Hauck, costumer Marina Draghici, lighting designer Scott Zielinski, and Mark Bennett provides the original music and sound design. The team received critical acclaim for
its work on “An Iliad” at the New York Theatre Workshop earlier this year. “Sound design” may be a vague term for some theater patrons, but Bennett confirms it’s a major component of this production. “Music and theater have been married for thousands of years. Over
my 25 years in this field, it’s been exciting to see the world of theater and audiences begin to appreciate the contributions of sound designers,” he said. Bennett has received numerous Obie, Bessie, Ovation, Robbie, and Garland awards along with 10 Drama Desk and two Lucille Lortel award nominations. But his work, even on the same play, starts anew with each new venue. “There are always a certain amount of changes,” Bennett said. “I feel the coat a performer puts on and wears is his own journey. It affects the way he responds in subtle ways to phrasing and where the music starts. In this piece, it’s a dance between the actor and the musician, and what keeps it interesting for me. The beauty of it is that an en-
tire world is created from one solo bass player and one actor and what each can bounce off the other.” “Sound designers function with a dual mind,” Bennett said. “The technical mind is about the equipment and the cueing of it. The artistic side is how to comMark bine the Bennett sounds and install them in the right moment to deliver the content. Composition is pushing the notes on a page and working with the musician to create the melodies and textures of the musical underpinnings. So in this piece, the music and sound wind up very hand and glove.”

he Riford Library hosted a hands-on learning experience for preschoolers interested in exploring the solar system on July 25. A staffer from the Science Center in Balboa Park arrived to share information on the moons, orbits, and sizes of the planets. After a short lecture, the young astronomers visited five stations that allowed them to find out how much they would weigh on other planets, figure out the order of the moon’s phases, create a scale model of the Earth and the moon, learn how much water is on Earth, and create craters in “moon dust.” — Brianna Alexander
ichard Seer does such a commendable job of directing the excellent cast of “God of Carnage,” that they portray their absurd characters so perfectly none of them is likable — and that’s just fine with the audience. The Tony award-winning dark comedy, written in French by Yasmina Reza, is making its San Diego premiere at The Old Globe Theatre. It has opened in theaters across the nation and was adapted into the movie, “Carnage,” last year. Translated by Christopher Hampton, it has received equal amounts of high praise and derisive criticism. Because none of the action seems plausible, the thought plaguing me throughout the show was, who in their right mind would stay in a stranger’s apartment taking

By Brianna Alexander The Rec Center was hopping on Saturday, July 28 for the annual Kiwanis Club of La Jolla’s pancake breakfast. The event draws hundreds each year with families loading up on pancakes and sausages, listening to live music, taking pony rides, bouncing on jumpies, getting face paintings, and participating in raffle drawings for prizes that are generously donated by local merchants. Pancake flippers and batter mixers started working at 7:30 a.m. to prepare. In past years, Kiwanis members served regular and

blueberry pancakes, but this year the Club added sweet chocolate pancakes that turned out to be a big hit. “Last year about 750 to 800 people attended the breakfast; this year’s turnout was around 1,000,” said event chair Craig Bratlien. “The pancake breakfast is really our thank you to the community and serves as a way to bring La Jollans together.” Kiwanian Jim Kennedy, an annual pancake flipper, added, “All the money earned today will go to 30-40 different charities. Besides the annual La Jolla Half
Marathon, the pancake breakfast is where we get most of our proceeds to help people in need.” The Kiwanis Club annually gives out more than $175,000 through the La Jolla Kiwanis Foundation. The majority of the money is given to organizations that aid children — Voices for Children, La Jolla Youth Baseball, Reality Changers, and Friends of La Jolla Shores.

St. James Gift Shop hosts 12th Artisans Market this weekend By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt At any time of year, St. James Gift Shop offers an array of unexpected treasures from around the world. But this weekend is really the moment for heading their way. It’s time for their annual Artisans Market, where you can find arts and crafts from Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Africa — jewelry, pottery, textiles and more. “We run the market to coincide with SummerFest, so we draw some of the crowd from the museum across the street,” said gift shop manager Karen Fast, who has been in charge of the event and the shop for the past dozen years. “At first, we mainly did the art of Latin America, but then we branched out,” she said. “We’re a non-profit, we operate as an outreach center, and we really want to help artists all over the

from Mata Ortiz, a small Mexican town southwest of El Paso that became famous for its red, white, and black ceramics in the 1980s. Now Lopez is earning kudos for her finely executed geometric designs. “She’s so young, you wouldn’t believe she could
be so talented!” Fast said. Also keep an eye out for Esau Andrade, from Baja Calif., another young upand-comer who will be showing some of his watercolors. And, from a more-distant part of the globe, you’ll find
representatives of several African women’s co-ops that specialize in jewelry-making. “Some of their pieces are recycled paper, some is acrylic, but it’s all very, very contemporary,” Fast said. “They have a huge following; they were even in Vogue Magazine!”
She is always in search of new talent, and five of the 12 artisans at this year’s market will be there for the first time. Most of the others have been coming for all 12 years. “They’ve become like family,” Fast said. “We keep in touch during the year, and try to help them out when they need it. We have a special dinner for the artists and volunteers; I make molé. They all look forward to it, and so do I. I love the camaraderie.” Besides the arts and crafts at the market, there will be tacos from Tacos & Gorditas, and Mexican music and dance. It is, as Fast says, a fun event. But if for some reason you can’t make it this weekend, you can always drop by the gift store to check out their eclectic collection and chat with Karen Fast or one of her four employees.

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 If we provide a permanent home and ongoing help for them, we could legitimately find a compassionate way to move the panhandlers. Who inspires you? My mother, who has fun every day and finds the time and energy to help people, too. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? • Hedy Lamarr escaped an overbearing husband to become a major contract star of MGM’s Golden Age in the 1920s. Not just a pretty face, Hedy also invented a complex algorithm for computer communications that is used in most communications today, including technology from Qualcomm; • Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, arguably the most influential person in the world right now, making decisions about the future of the European Union; • Susan B. Anthony, who fought for women’s right to vote using grace and tenacity. She died a few years before we gained that right; • Sheryl Sandberg, CEO and member of the board of directors of Facebook. She’s credited with making Facebook profitable; • My husband, he is great company and has an amazing memory. He would remember everything everyone said. • Franz Liszt, an 1800s pianist/composer who was wildly popular. Women would fight for his silk handkerchiefs, which they kept as souvenirs of his concerts. He donated much of his fortune to charity; • Albert Einstein, he developed the theory of relativity, and wouldn’t it be amazing to hear his thoughts on physics, given
what we now know? and … • Jesus Christ, I don’t think he needs an explanation. Tell us about what you are reading. My reading taste is quite eclectic. Here are two examples. I am in the middle of reading “Robopocalypse,” by Daniel Wilson, a scary but oh-so-compelling science fiction thriller. On the other end of the spectrum, I recently finished, “Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling” by Ross King, it’s about the painting of the Sistine chapel. What would be your dream vacation? We are taking it in October to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We are going back to Italy, my favorite place to visit. What apps do you like? My five favorite apps are: 1) Barc. If you read my bio, you know I work at Barc, so I better love it, and I really do. Chat with
everyone who is browsing the same website. It is a useful and fun tool. 2) Twonky. Full disclosure, this is my husband’s company’s product. But, again, I would love it even if I weren’t married to it. Enter a topic and Twonky finds all of the related videos for you. Simply click to display it on your TV. I’m watching interesting video about the Olympics from Twonky now. 3) Facebook. Of course. 4) Twitter. Tweeting more and more these days. 5) LinkedIn. It’s great for connecting with business friends and colleagues. What is your mostprized possession? That would be my family and friends, and my two dogs, Rollo and Maxwell. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Every day, each of us has the opportunity to choose our disposition. I choose to be happy.
