By Pat Sherman The La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) hired longtime Carlsbad resident Heath Fox as its new executive director, following a search that began in February. Fox, a retired U.S. Marine lieutenant colonel, served as associate director of administration for both the Museum of Photographic Arts and the San Diego Museum of Heath Fox Art, located in Balboa Park. More recently, he spent five years as assistant dean of arts and humanities at UC San Diego and served as a consultant for a new museum the Broad Art Foundation is building in Los Angeles.

Mayoral candidates debate in La Jolla By Pat Sherman La Jolla was the site of two recent mayoral debates — the first hosted by the Rotary Club of La Jolla and the second by La Jolla Country Day School, in collaboration with the Preuss School, City Club of San Diego and the National Conflict Resolution Center. Candidates Carl DeMaio, a Republican city councilman serving San Diego’s fifth district, and Bob Filner, a Democratic congressman serving California’s 51st district, squared off Sept. 4 during the Rotary club’s weekly luncheon at La Valencia Hotel. Noting that the DeMaiobacked and voter-approved Proposition B — which would replace pensions with 401(k)-style retirement plans for most new city hires and
Mayoral candidates Carl DeMaio (left) and Bob Filner (right) take part in a debate at La Jolla Country Day School, moderated by Steve Dinkin (center) of the National Conflict Resolution Center. Pat Sherman freeze pensionable pay for five years — would be tied up in the courts for some time, moderator Pat Stouffer
asked what the candidates would do in the meantime to solve the city’s fiscal crisis. Filner said if the measure
was still in legal limbo when he is mayor he would put a cap on six-figure pensions for city management.

“I invited Carl to join me in supporting that; he’s never favored it or not,” Filner said, adding that the only cost-saving aspect of Prop. B is the five-year pensionable pay freeze. “I’m the only one who can implement that immediately; I’ve already talked to the employee groups,” Filner said. “If Carl goes into any negotiations with the people he has said are the enemy of San Diego, he goes into these negotiations as the declared enemy.” Before answering the question, DeMaio took the opportunity to wish Filner a “happy 70th birthday,” evoking some gasps from those in attendance, to which Filner later responded, “I appreciate the birthday wishes, but like my favorite SEE DEBATE, A4

FROM DEBATE, A1 president, Ronald Reagan, said when he ran against Walter Mondale, ‘I will not use the youth and inexperience of my opponent as an issue in this campaign.’” Speaking to the issue of Prop. B, DeMaio said, “Our pension payment went from $48 million in the year 2000 to a whopping $238 million this year. … We have to reform pensions, which is why I didn’t wait to be in the mayor’s office to tackle this important issue. I helped to create Proposition B, and worked with a bipartisan coalition to get things done. “Prop. B is not tied up in the courts,” DeMaio maintained. “The unions have filed a number of frivolous lawsuits and they have not succeeded in getting any judge to say that we cannot implement it. “And I have not called the employee unions the enemy,” DeMaio added. “Mr. Filner, you need to stop trying to misrepresent my positions in a very divisive way.” Asked how the candidates would determine funding for quality-of-life issues such as the arts, DeMaio said his “fiscal reform agenda” would create money to re-
Carl DeMaio vive programs that have been cut, such as library and park and recreation center hours, code compliance programs and water quality management. “As we increase our hotel tax revenues over the next eight years, which we expect to double, we will also double the funding for arts, culture and science programs,” DeMaio said. Filner countered that DeMaio has repeatedly voted against funding arts and after-school programs. “When you talk about quality of life in the neighborhoods of our city — including La Jolla — you have to say, ‘Why don’t we have this infrastructure? Why don’t we have the beach maintenance, why do we have the traffic congestion?
You know why? Because there are special interests that are governing city hall, and Mr. DeMaio is the candidate of those special interests,” Filner said. “That’s where all his contributions come from; that’s where all his support comes from.” Stouffer prefaced another question by stating that each candidate represented his party’s “extremes.” “How will you then build consensus and operate in a centrist political arena?” Stouffer asked. “This is kind of funny, this question being posed to a gay, pro-choice environmentalist, who takes on the downtown establishment time and time again,” DeMaio said. “People can try to apply labels, but at the end of the day what I’m fighting for are the issues that unite, rather than divide,” DeMaio said, touting his bipartisan support for efforts to save the city money by putting public services out to bid, and his successful effort to defeat a half-cent sales tax increase he said “would have hit our working poor the hardest.” Noting his experience working collaboratively with others as a school board president, deputy mayor and 10-
term congressman, Filner said, “I guess to know where somebody is going, you’ve got to know where they’ve been. … The person who has stressed division and chaos and who has thrived on it is Carl. … I can bring people together and get things done. I think that’s what you want in a mayor.” During the Sept. 7 debate at La Jolla Country Day School, the candidates fielded questions from a panel of professional journalists and students, including, Country Day’s Alexander Garcia and the Preuss School’s Joshua Piedra. Noting that DeMaio recently returned from a “jobs tour” of Mexico, during which he met with business leaders to forge a stronger relationship between San Diego and the Baja region, Garcia asked what policy changes DeMaio would put into effect to assure “San Diego’s unique tie to the Mexican economy grows and benefits all San Diegans.” “We have to start acting as a region, a better region, working on the strengths that both sides have,” DeMaio said. “We have come out with a number of economic strategies that both sides can
Bob Filner benefit from to bring investment to both sides of our region. It will be one of the cornerstones of my economic strategy as mayor.” Filner touted his role representing the border region for 20 years while serving on the city council and in Congress, and in one, instance, advising President Clinton on Baja issues aboard Air Force One. The candidates were next asked by NBC Channel 7 reporter Gene Cubbison how much faith they have regarding the amount of money and jobs the proposed convention center expansion would generate — numbers the city auditor and independent budget analyst claim are overstated. Filner said the convention center is “an economic engine”
and its expansion should be supported, along with the expansion of San Diego’s port. Filner said expansion of the port has “the biggest single potential for (increasing) middle class jobs in this nation. We’re talking about thousands of jobs — jobs that pay a livable wage,” he said. “That has an impact on the whole economy, and whether tourists come.” DeMaio began by piquing students’ interest in the convention center with a reference to Comic-Con — San Diego’s largest annual convention. “It’s covered across the world by media,” DeMaio said. “People see San Diego and our beautiful environment, they learn about our city. If we don’t expand the convention center, ComicCon will probably end up leaving our city. … With an expanded convention center we will bring additional Comic-Con-sized events, perhaps not with the types of costumes that they bring, but equally important for the jobs that those conventions and conferences represent to San Diegans.” DeMaio said his opponent

orrey Pines (La Jolla) Rotary Club ended its fourth annual Care ‘n’ Share Toy Drive with the delivery of the last of 4,000 new and gently-used stuffed animals to Rady Children’s Hospital, Tijuana’s Hospital Infantil, and Children’s Lifeline. The toys were collected from private donations, dropoff receptacles around the county, and a staffed table at the San Diego County Fair. “Recipient organizations are most grateful
for the donations at this time of year, and it is heartwarming to know that with the community’s help, some 16,500 stuffed animals have been distributed since we started this project,” said chairman Nancy Stoke. “We all know how scary and lonely a hospital bed can be; to know that we’ve brightened the day of a sick child makes it all worthwhile.” To volunteer for next year, contact Stoke at nancy@torreypinesrotary.org.

La Jolla Town Council trustee Charles Hartford (left) and former first vice-president Ken King. Pat Sherman n After weeks of finger-pointing and accusations that some feared would derail one of La Jolla’s oldest and most venerated community organizations, the La Jolla Town Council moves forward with a reconfigured executive committee and a few apologies.
By Pat Sherman Discord among members of the La Jolla Town Council’s (LJTC’s) executive committee — which led to the resignations of board president Cindy Greatrex and three executive committee members — was apparently resolved during a special meeting Sept. 4, called for by council trustees Steven Haskins, Nancy Gardner and Peter Wulff. The meeting was held to discuss the actions of immediate past-president Rick Wildman during an Aug. 2 executive committee meeting, and the absence of first vice-president Ken King from regularly scheduled executive committee and board meetings. Action items on the meeting agenda included the censure of Wildman and the removal of King from his role as first vice-president. During the August LJTC meeting, Greatrex abruptly resigned from her position as president, which was followed by the subsequent resignations of fellow executive committee members John Weinstein (second vice-president), Sonia Marie Olivas (secretary) and David Woo (treasurer). Though at the time the executive committee members declined to elaborate on the reason for their departures, during the Sept. 4 meeting, held at the La Jolla Rec Center, Weinstein said they stepped down “partly in protest” for the way Wildman treated Greatrex during the Aug. 2 executive committee meeting. Recounting the events that led to his resignation, Weinstein said he received a phone call from Wildman the night prior to the Aug. 2 meeting, “just basically criticizing the current president with things that didn’t really make sense to me, that seemed kind of trivial and manufactured.” Weinstein said he felt there was “some other agenda” behind the call, noting that
Wildman also phoned other trustees that evening. At the executive committee meeting the following night (at which King was not present), the trustees discussed King’s absences during a three-month period. Though King said he told Weinstein in advance that the executive committee meetings occurred at the same time as mandatory board meetings of the Rotary Club of La Jolla (for which he serves as treasurer), and that he was taking some vacation time, Weinstein said King “never responded to Cindy or any of the other executive committee members about his absence or made any effort to do other work. “There was no reason he couldn’t have (taken on) other responsibility, whatever time was convenient for him,” Weinstein said. Though Wildman said King had been in communication with him during his absence, Weinstein said King should also have been communicating with current council president Greatrex and other executive committee members. “It just seemed like they were kind of hatching some plan, like they had something going on,” Weinstein said. After the discussion of King’s absences on Aug. 2, Weinstein said Wildman began “verbally attacking” Greatrex with “trivial things,” such as the fact that his name was not engraved on an office plaque bearing the names of other past presidents. Greatrex said the primary reason she stepped down was that Wildman suggested at the Aug. 2 meeting that King, whom he knows through Republican Party circles, would be able to obtain a substantial endowment for the town council — and she didn’t want to prevent that from happening. “I decided that the gracious thing to do would be to simply and quietly resign,” she said. Though King previously told the La Jolla Light, “I want to be president. I’m looking forward to the challenges,” during the Sept.
See Town Council, A7
www.lajollalight.com From Town Council, A6 4 meeting he said he had “no designs on the presidency.” King said he was approached about being a trustee years ago and agreed because he enjoyed Wildman’s quirky leadership style as president, and thought the LJTC was a “well-run organization.” When approached about being first vice-president, King said he reiterated his time limitations, due to his Rotary commitment and a restructuring of his pool construction business. In response to accusations that Wildman wanted to push a partisan agenda on the nonpartisan town council by installing King, his ally in the Republican Party, as president, King said, “I’m a good Republican, but I believe … this is a whole different animal, this is a civic type thing … very social, so politics in my mind have no place here at all.” Toward the end of his remarks, King apologized for his lack of communication, voluntarily tending his resignation from the executive committee. “I’m simply here to clear the air,” he said. “When I hear things about me not living in La Jolla, like I’m part of some subversive group of the Republican Party that’s trying to take over the town council, or that I’m going to bring millions of dollars — or whatever amount — in an endowment, I’ve got to be here and tell my story. But I think this committee needs a clean slate. I think it needs a new beginning.” Wildman said he was not belittling or bullying Greatrex, but urging her and other executive committee members to “get more involved in the community. “The fact is that the La Jolla Town Council is not solvent, and it has only been solvent because unnamed people over the years have thrown their own money in — and that’s what I suggested Cindy do. “Clearly, I thought Cindy was a person of means,” Wildman added. “When you’re president and there’s a problem, you chip in. If there’s no money, you go out and you talk to (former) trustees, you talk to people who have chipped in before.” Weinstein said it seemed as if there may have been a “quid pro quo” agreement between Wildman and Greatrex, that when Greatrex became president of the La Jolla Town Council, Wildman

The La Jolla Town Council’s new executive committee n Board president: Cindy Greatrex n First vice-president: Steve Haskins n Second vice-president: Peter Wulff n Past president: Rick Wildman n Secretary: Sonia Marie Olivas n Treasurer: Yolanda de Riquer would take over leadership of Independent La Jolla (ILJ), the group pushing for La Jolla to secede from San Diego and become its own city, and a group for which Greatrex also serves as president. In an Aug. 4 e-mail Wildman sent to Weinstein, he outlined his 15-year involvement with ILJ and said he was happy when Greatrex lent her “enthusiasm, knowledge, and (apparently) actual experience in incorporating a
city.” (Greatrex has said she formerly helped the village of Sagaponack, New York incorporate as a city.) Wildman said that during regular lunch meetings with Greatrex, she gave him “glowing reports on the progress of ILJ, the meetings, and what progress was being made at those meetings,” which led the LJTC’s executive committee to put ILJ on the board’s weekly agenda. When Greatrex became town council treasurer, Wildman said, she offered very few reports. “Cindy assured me that she would have more time once she no longer had the helm of ILJ, and that she wanted to devote all of her energies to the town council, so that I could focus on ILJ,” Wildman wrote. “I talked to Ken King about this, because Ken had an interest in becoming town council president. … Cindy suggested that since I was already the ‘mayor of La Jolla’ … I would be the natural person to take over ILJ and that, based on

my community involvement, she would talk to the board about it.” Wildman said he was upset that ILJ was not holding monthly meetings, that its website was not updated, and that the organization had no money. Toward the conclusion of Tuesday’s special meeting, LJTC trustees voted that Wildman be censured — a basic statement of disapproval regarding a director’s behavior, which does not remove him from his post on the executive committee. Asked by trustees if he felt he owed Greatrex an apology,
Wildman said, “Yeah, I do. I think that I apologize because perception is everything, and if I created the perception that I was angry or that I was doing anything other than trying to make my position clear that everyone needed to get more active in the community, then I went about it the wrong way, and I apologize.” In the end, the board voted to reinstate Greatrex as president and Sonia Marie Olivas as treasurer. It also voted onto the executive committee attorney Steve Haskins as first vice-president; Peter Wulff as second vice-president; and Yolanda de Riquer as treasurer.

To make matters worse, a projected 2/3 of these individuals will fall a second time and as many as 30% will suffer injuries resulting in decreased mobility & independence. Despite these alarming statistics, the SD Fall Prevention Task Force wants seniors to know that falls are preventable.The #1 thing that older adults can do to decrease their risk of falling is to engage in regular exercise and balance training. Exercise maintains strength and flexibility, while balance training builds confidence – both of which are important to fall prevention. Fear of falling can interfere with daily and recreational activities, creating a vicious cycle of decreased strength, balance and mobility. The professional therapists at Ability Rehab can help. We will assess your risk and develop a customized program to improve balance & strength, which will help to increase confidence, safety and independence.
Town council member Melinda Merryweather said that in her more than 30 years of involvement with the organization, she had “never heard of anything so disturbing as what took place.” “I’m so proud of you all putting it back in place, because this community, our town council, has always been such a genuine thing,” Merryweather said.

UCSD’s new chancellor takes reins, envisions more diverse campus By Pat Sherman After more than a month on the job, UC San Diego’s new chancellor, Pradeep Khosla, is still learning his way around campus and community, chatting up students and faculty at every turn. As dean of Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering, Khosla was in charge of about 3,200 students. At UC San Diego, he will oversee 30,000 students, a tenfold transition in scale. “I had more access to these students (at Carnegie Mellon) than I will have with 30,000 students,” confided Khosla, 55, who replaces outgoing chancellor Marye Anne Fox, who held the position for eight years. “I want to make sure that as chancellor I’m not this ‘Wizard of Oz’ sitting in some office that they don’t know,” he said. “I want them to connect with me as a professor, teacher and a person — and as a chancellor. … You do that by walking around, meeting students randomly and in an organized manner, and just being part of the community.”
Khosla’s forays into the community recently took him to a Ralphs supermarket, where two students stopped to introduce themselves. “I’m thinking, do I have anything weird in my shopping cart here?” said the affable administrator, noting that his purchases included mainly cheese, wine and crackers. “My favorite (wine) is pinot noir,” he chimed. “It’s middleof-the-line, and goes with just about every type of food.” Khosla will likely relish the occasional glass of wine to unwind from the pressure of managing the university’s ongoing budgetary and administrative demands, while implementing his own vision and strategy. “I have an excellent team,” Khosla said of his vice-chancellors. “We have divvied up the responsibilities of running this place. They are my eyes and ears on the ground, and they are responsible for executing a lot of these things.” At Carnegie Mellon, Khosla was known for his emphasis on diversity, a focus
Chancellor Pradeep Khosla ■ Age: 55 ■ Annual salary: $411,000 ■ Students at UC San Diego: 30,000 ■ University budget: $3.2-$3.3 million ■ Previous job: Dean of Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering ■ Family: Wife Thespine; children Nathan, 22, Alex, 14 and Nina, 11 ■ Hobbies: Golf, travel, reading ■ Favorite wine: Pinot noir he said he hopes to maintain at UC San Diego. “Our goal should be to talk with the broader community and make sure that students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds understand and realize that go-
UC San Diego Chancellor Pradeep Khosla talks about his vision for the university from his office on campus. PAT SHERMAN ing to a university is not necessarily a rich person’s dream,” he said. “Everybody should have that dream and the UC system has a lot of opportunities for people to attend one of the UC campuses without paying any
tuition. “When there are people from underserved communities who are deemed qualified but don’t have the resources, we need to find a way to support them,” he said. While there are many op-
portunities for students from low-income families to received scholarships and financial assistance through the UC system, state and federal government, Khosla said middle-class students are often left behind. “That’s where, I think, we need to focus a lot on raising endowments for scholarships,” he said. “One of the things I’ll be doing over the course of the next six months is going to schools in our community and talking about the UC experience and especially the UC San Diego experience.” How would Khosla handle incidences of racial intolerance, such as Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity’s racially insensitive “Compton Cookout” party in 2010, or a noose that was subsequently left in the library? Khosla said such situations must be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The India native said he believes his status as an immigrant will help him build a climate in which such situations are

Asked what Khosla hopes his legacy will be as chancellor, he said he hopes the university will be in a stronger position than it is today. “That’s a tall order,” he said. “This is one of the top 10 universities in the country, but I think there is a lot of opportunity.” With a decrease in funding from the state of California — which currently only provides about 6.6 percent of UC San Diego’s operating budget — fundraising will continue to be key to the university’s success, Khosla said. “The construction program of the state is pretty much going to be non-existent,” he said. “Most of the buildings that you see out here are state-constructed buildings. The money came from the state, and I don’t see that to be the case going forward. I don’t think you will see as much construction, but I do think we will be constructing, on a very strategic basis, buildings that we
LA JOLLA LIGHT - september 13, 2012 - Page A9
need, and these would have to be paid for by fundraising.” Though the Board of Regents largely establishes tuition, Khosla said he could help offset the impact of rising tuition on students and families by generating more money for scholarships. “That’s the only way, in my mind, to mitigate that,” he said, noting that despite exponential tuition increases during the past decade, UC San Diego is still a comparatively good value. “If you look at UC San Diego, where the tuition is about $12,000, in that range, and this is a top 10 university in the country, it offers the same or similar experience as private (universities) at one-third the price or onefourth the price. Tuition at Stanford is like $42,000 and Carnegie Mellon is like $43,000. “I don’t say this to justify the tuition going up … but I say this just to put it in perspective,” he said. “This is still an extremely good value and we are working hard to make sure that going forward there will be scholarship money available and this place will be both accessible and affordable.” n To read more of Khosla’s interview with the La Jolla Light, visit lajollalight.com
La Jolla Country Day School students endured the mid-day heat to watch mayoral candidates Carl DeMaio and Bob Filner exchange equally heated jabs. PAT SHERMAN FROM DEBATE, A4 has opposed the convention center expansion “every step of the way.” While he agreed that expanding San Diego’s port is important, DeMaio asked, “Why did the congressman oppose President Clinton on NAFTA and oppose free trade? If you don’t have free trade, congressman, we’re not going to have a whole lot of cargo and commerce at the port.” Asked by Los Angeles Times reporter Tony Perry what credentials the candidates possessed to oversee law enforcement as mayor, Filner included in his answer that he believes officers should not be allowed to ask about immigration status during routine stops. “We should not have racial profiling in our city,” he said, stating
that DeMaio had supported Arizona’s SB 1070, a tough anti-immigration measure that is viewed by detractors as a legal means of racial profiling. Though DeMaio countered that he did not support the 2010 measure, Filner noted that DeMaio declined to support a subsequent San Diego City Council resolution condemning it. Perry asked DeMaio if officers should be prevented from asking a person’s immigration status. “If someone is detained and immigration status can get them off the street because they have committed a crime, I believe it should be an arrow in the quiver,” DeMaio said. “I think it should be part of our arsenal.” Following the debate, senior Julia
Julima said she felt the debate was “more eruptive than a volcano.” “But I can see they were trying to be civil,” said Julima, 18. “I can see that DeMaio had really big goals and plans. He said he really wanted to help change education and public schools, but he really doesn’t have that much that he can do, so I wonder how he plans on being that change. “Mr. Filner definitely had a lot of experience, but that’s all I kept hearing about,” Julima added. “He didn’t have any meat, any substance, besides saying that he had a lot of experience. I have to do my homework and see what kind of policies he’d make.” n For more on the Rotary and Country Day debates, visit lajollalight.com

Dental student spends August tending to teeth in Zambia
After this young Muchila resident received some oral health information in a neighboring tent, fourth-year dental student and La Jolla High grad Laura Rein gave him a dental checkup on Aug. 16. Vincent Trinidad
BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Laura Rein, a graduate of the La Jolla High School Class of 2005, spent more than half of August pulling teeth in one of the poorest countries in the world, as she and a handful of other dental students and dentists provided care to people in Zambia, South Africa. “We ran out of toothbrushes, and in three days, we screened more than 720 patients,” Rein said, adding that of that number, they performed oral surgery on 140 people. Rein is a senior at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Mass., and a volunteer with the non-profit, “Options for Children in Zambia,” which brings dental services to the rural village each year. Tufts associate professor John Morgan, DDS, helped form the organization in 2004, and invited Rein to be part of a summer team of visiting dentists. “He gave me the history and encouraged me to go to the village of Muchila, which has about 30,000 people, no

Morgan and two other dentists, along with Rein and two other students, left on Aug. 9 for an area in the country riddled with HIV, AIDS, unsafe drinking water, orphaned children, and a population that has little access to health or dental care.
They received a grand welcome from many people in Muchila who heard the team was coming. “All the women greeted us singing and dancing,” Rein said. Camp was set up for them and consisted of small tents and personal shower bags that hung on hooks outside each tent. The dental service
area took place inside “clinical” tents with a few chairs and tables for supplies. Rein said a typical day began with breakfast made by a chef who cooked exclusively for the team, and then teaching an oral health class to the crowds of

From Dentists, A10 people who lined up for dental treatment. Each patient was screened for pain, and if surgery was required, he or she was sent to an oral surgery room where tooth extractions were performed without suction tubes, Xrays, drills, lights or reclining dental chairs. Rein said they had to use bottled water and only had limited ways to sterilize the tools. “We brought pain medicine and antibiotics with us and the people who received treatment were very appreciative. The closest dental care from the village is a 10-hour drive away,� Rein said. Lusaka, Zambia’s capital has a dental school, but the graduates are referred to as “dental therapists,� not dentists. There are less than 60 dental therapists in the entire country, Rein said, and three of them worked with the American team during their August visit. “They are just as qualified and very talented,� Rein said. “They also translated the Zambians native Tonga language into English for us.�

After spending five days at the village, the dental team traveled to an orphanage for the remainder of their visit. Rein said they put sealants on the children’s teeth to help prevent decay, and topically applied fluoride to their teeth because fluoridated toothpaste is not readily available. Rein plans to come back to the area after graduating and work with her mother, Diane Milberg, D.D.S, M.S.D. who has an orthodontist practice in San Diego and Coronado. Rein said the trip cost about $3,200 and her portion was offset by a $1,000 fellowship from Tufts University Tisch College, money from private donations, and a fundraiser held at the university.

Heath Fox provides a tour of Wisteria Cottage, which the society uses as a museum and exhibit space. The building, designed by architect Irving Gill, will undergo a historic restoration next year that is expected to cost about $600,000. Pat Sherman From Director, A1 director John Bolthouse and interim executive director F.H. “Trip” Bennett, will oversee three fulltime and three part-time staffers at the society, which has an annual operating budget of about $500,000. Fox’s salary falls within the range of $77,000 to $81,000, which the LJHS board’s executive committee budgeted for the position, said Connie Branscomb, the board’s immediate past president. Qualifications the board sought for the position included: experience leading a nonprofit arts or cultural organization; organizational management and/or supervisory experience such as strategic planning and staff supervision; financial management experience; and experience managing museum exhibits and archives. “We are very, very happy with Heath Fox,” said Branscomb, who served on the committee that selected Fox from an initial pool of 46 applicants, five of which were called in for interviews. “He brings to this job all the qualities that we think that we need.” Fox said he was seeking an opportunity to be executive director of a cultural institution after finishing his consulting job in Los Angeles with the Broad Art Foundation. “The society is in a really exciting part of its organizational history right now,” he said, nothing a planned restoration of Wisteria Cottage on Prospect Street, where the society’s museum and exhibit space are held. The building, which once served as a residence for founding La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps, has also housed a bookstore and the Balmer School, a precursor to La Jolla Country Day School. The restoration, designed by Ione Stiegler of La Jolla-based IS Architecture, is expected to begin in February, coinciding with the LJHS’s 50th anniversary year. Fox said the society is planning additional activities and events throughout the year to mark the anniversary, which falls in June. “The society is a very strong organization, in large part because of the community leadership and the community support that it has,” he said, noting the strength of events such as the Secret Garden Tour and Concours d’Elegance. “I’ve been so impressed by the level of
activity of the board and the volunteers — the scope of their involvement and the sincerity of their commitment,” he said. “It’s just an extraordinarily strong organization for this community.” Fox said that while the society has done a great job with its efforts to preserve La Jolla’s beach cottages and other pre-World War II era structures, he’d also like to focus on The Village’s mid-century modern architecture of the 1950s and ’60s, which has now reached the threshold where it can be deemed historic and saved from demolition. “I want to engage the community in this conversation … and start to come to understand myself where those important structures are, which ones may be under threat,” he said. “I do intend to be involved in all aspects of what the society does, from the internal management and administration of the society … (to) listening to the community and responding to the concerns of the community on these topics.” Fox said he sees an opportunity to increase the amount and level of programs offered by the society, once the renovation is complete. “We’ve just started a young architects program for the summer for secondary schools,” he said. “I’d like to see us be able to grow that and add some school-based programs in the summer, as well as continue to do the lecture series. We’re just going to have a better facility to do it in.” The restoration of Wisteria Cottage will be the first major rehabilitation of the structure, and will include the addition of a prep kitchen and meeting space to accommodate weddings and functions that will generate additional revenue for the society, Branscomb said. Other planned improvements include humidity control and lighting upgrades, which are required to borrow exhibits from other museums and archives, and a lift that will allow disabled access to a lower floor that is currently being used for storage. The lift will be funded, in part, via a $30,000 donation from Las Patronas. • La Jolla Historical Society is dedicated to the discovery, collection, and preservation of La Jolla’s heritage.

Retiring Mayor Jerry Sanders reviews legacy at La Jolla luncheon BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Retiring San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders was the guest speaker at a brown bag luncheon Sept. 5 at the Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute, where he shared details about the city’s “health” with about 100 people in the Fishman Auditorium. A group of women who call themselves “Group of 12 & Friends,” co-founded by SanfordBurnham pioneer Lillian Fishman, meet at the institute for monthly luncheons with a featured speaker. “They thought it was a good time to bring (Sanders) in,” said institute spokeswoman Kristina Meek, alluding to his final three months on the job. Sanders began making history at age 44 when he became one of the youngest police chiefs of San Diego. During a special election, seven years ago when the city was in financial crisis, he became mayor. He’s set to leave office in December. Sanders had the crowd laughing when he said working a week in the life of a police chief is like working one day as mayor. “But it was actually enjoyable being police chief,” he chuckled. “Though it’s been an honor to be the Mayor of San Diego, it’s frus-

SHELLI DEROBERTIS trating, gratifying and hard work.” His last summer in office began with Sanders proclaiming June “Craft Beer Month,” to promote the local beer industry and entice other brewers to relocate to the city. He said one enjoyable aspect of his job was getting to sample lots of beer from White Labs, which produced a beer called “Ale to the Chief.” But there was nothing to toast when his first term began.
“December 2005 was a dark time in San Diego and we were very close to bankruptcy. We faced the worst economic recession in 75 years,” Sanders said. The city is healthy now and this year has seen a balanced budget and a monetary reserve amount of 14 percent, he said. “When I started, we had a twopercent reserve. Wall Street wouldn’t lend us money because
excel
they wanted an eight-percent reserve,” he said. “We now have a solid credit ratio and are starting to be viewed as a role model.” Sanders said previous cuts to city services were restored this year, returning 13 more hours a week to libraries and recreation centers. Employment growth was also experienced in two fire academies that each accepted 50 people after years of a new-hire freeze. “We haven’t had that since 2009,” Sanders said. But the balanced budget meant cutting costs and aligning government with the size of its revenue. This resulted in a 15-percent reduction to city employee pensions, and a pension downsize and overhaul for new hires beginning in 2009. Sanders said another savings in the works will come from using managed competition to lower the cost of city employees performing jobs that private companies can do for less. One such job is residential trash services. San Diego city employees are paid to collect trash. Most other California cities contract with a private company and residents pay for their own trash services. “We don’t have to have government employees mow the laws in our parks. We don’t have to have government employees pick up
About Jerry Sanders ■ Gerald Robert Sanders is an American politician, Mayor of San Diego and former Chief of Police ■ Born: July 14, 1950, San Pedro ■ Spouse: Rana Sampson ■ Education: San Diego State trash,” Sanders said. Besides a healthy budget, some expansions that will be left in his wake include a $185-million library that is 60-percent completed. lt will feature 400 computers and a trolley line to nearby schools. The San Diego Convention Center will also be expanded, complete with a five-acre park on its rooftop. Sanders said the city is being sued by a union over a self-imposed room tax added to local hotels to fund the convention center expansion, which also needs approval from the California Coastal Commission. What lies ahead for Sanders in retirement? He said he plans to continue walking 70 miles each week and also to spend several months in Italy with his wife.

Get cash for your treasures at SD Coin & Bullion shop By Marti Gacioch Dealing in coins can provide surprises every so often, according to Michael McConnell, owner of San Diego Coin & Bullion and the Coin Shop. “Someone once brought in an old sock full of coins that they said they were going to throw away because they thought they just had some worthless tokens,� McConnell said. “They actually had some unique collectible coins, and ended up getting about $3,800 for them; they left here very Michael McConnell happy.� What began as a teenage coin collecting hobby for McConnell, later developed into his two businesses: Clairemont’s San Diego Coin & Bullion, and La Jolla’s Coin Shop.

“The road to success is not paved with beauty, brains and brawn but rather, the discipline to keep going when the journey is long, the work is tough and the end is nowhere in sight!� — Robyn Silverman, Ph.D. La Jolla Karate’s Child Development Expert
By Ian Sheres La Jolla Karate September is Discipline Month, as part of La Jolla Karate’s Powerful Words Character Development program. All students will be studying, developing and experiencing powerful life lessons focusing on developing discipline in a fun, powerful and effective manner that benefits everybody in the community. In addition to all of the physical skills that they’ll be working on this month, students will be discussing and practicing these concepts that will help them to appreciate the value and benefit of becoming a disciplined person: n Discipline Defined: What is it and when and where do we use it? n Discipline & Choices: Rewards of discipline and consequences without it.
n Discipline skills: Self-control, anger management, goal setting and accountability. n Work before play: Why are disciplined people/teams so successful? “Discipline is one of the most important character concepts that can help children thrive and become their best, “ said Silverman. “On the one hand, we need to have the discipline to follow written or stated rules. This may refer to rules set by our parents, and our community. On the other hand, we must learn to follow our own self-imposed rules.� La Jolla Karate instructor Billy Borja added, “The fact that we get to dedicate this entire month to helping our members (and our community) to become more disciplined people is an amazing opportunity. We realize that this character trait will help them succeed in all areas of their lives and we’re honored to help them hone it. “As San Diego’s premier Martial Arts and Character Development Center, we take this responsibility very seriously. La Jolla Karate’s strong curriculum — plus
The program serves students, ages 3 and older.

From Coins, A16 popular hobby in the world. “As a hobby, it covers every demographic of the community — from kids to grandmothers,” McConnell said. “But we’re really two businesses in one; we buy and sell collectible rare coins, and we also buy and sell precious metals.” While the investment part is more connected to the precious metals part of his business, McConnell never stresses investments. “We don’t talk about investments, and we’re not investment advisors or counselors,” McConnell said. “We don’t ever use the word ‘investment.’ In the precious metals part of the business, we’re really just providing a product, and we think of coin collecting as a hobby.” McConnell added that he enjoys providing a stable environment at his shops where people can come by and expect to receive fair pricing while buying and selling coins and precious metals. He said very few coin shops
deal in ancient coins because old coins are difficult to understand. However, he has a knowledgeable employee at his Clairemont shop, so he offers antiquity expertise to coin collectors. “We’re a true collector’s store, so I think that sets us apart from other coin shops,” McConnell said. “Our main focus is on buying and selling rare coins — we just do rare coins, precious metals and collectible currency; we don’t do pawn or jewelry.” McConnell believes that coin collecting is a hobby for anyone, no matter how small his or her budget is. “You can spend as little or as much as you want on rare coins and still build a very interesting collection,” he said. For hours of operation and appointments, it’s best to call before visiting the stores: n San Diego Coin & Bullion, 7420 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., Suite 113.

With a heavy heart, we end the Bronowski Forum series Guest Commentary Ron Newby Founder and Curator Bronowski Art & Science Forum
Thank you Piotr Winkielman and thank you Jennifer Steinkamp; the Bronowski Forum on Sept. 6 was a wonderful and inspiring event. Piotr’s thoughts on perception, cognition and aesthetics, plus Jennifer’s commentary and the visual display of her art, provided members an intellectual journey across disparate disciplines. But that Forum may very well be the last. Unfortunately, going forward, the Scripps Research Institute will be charging $1,500 per event for use of the auditorium. The amount on hand, which has been contributed by our members, falls short of
Our Readers write
Screen the sluice gates today! One of the best articles written in the Light regarding the Children’s Pool appeared in the June 28 issue, penned by Melinda Merryweather and titled “Open the Sluice Gates at the Children’s Pool.” Irving Gill, one of the best engineers in San Diego, designed the wall with vents (sluices) that were placed purposefully to allow the waves to come through the wall to prevent a sand buildup and to clean the accumulation of seal excrement. The Children’s Pool was opened in 1931, two years before the death of Ellen Browning Scripps. The project was assigned to the City of San Di-
even sponsoring one Forum. I have spent the last several months requesting funding from four local foundations and from other sources without success. I had thought, most naively, that funding for what many believe to be a worthwhile series could be obtained. I was very wrong. Without an alternate free venue or sponsorship, with great sadness, The Forum ends. However, The Forum may be rescued. An individual has stepped forward with a possible solution and I will be exploring this offer. But in the event a solution is not found, please allow me to share some thoughts. The Bronowski Art & Science Forum has been, for me, an exciting and rewarding journey:14 years and 121 Forums. It has attempted, in a humble way, to pay tribute to Jacob Bronowski and to carry on his legacy. He will always be known as an illustrious individual, a true Renaissance Man. He is fondly remembered as a founding fellow of The ego in 1934. During this period, two small children were pulled through the vents in a strong backwash. Their deaths prompted the city to close the vents (TEMPORARILY, so the records say.) Why were the sluices never reopened? The success of the project depends on the opening of the sluices. Reopen and screen the vents! If a decision were to be reached to save this project, the problem of funding might shatter the plan. La Jolla needs help and quickly.

Let the REBA Force be with you The La Jolla Real Estate Brokers Association Inc. (REBA) was founded in 1924 by a group of real estate
Salk Institute, mathematician, biologist, historian, author of “The Ascent of Man,” and a resident of La Jolla: an individual who bridged the gap between art and science. Perhaps most noteworthy is that The Forum has been free and open to the public, and that presenters have come forth without compensation. These would be artists and scientists, architects, historians, lawyers, psychologists, neuroscientists, Nobel laureates, university deans, photographers, physicians, musicians and authors, and our intellectually curious Forum Members. Thank you all. I would also like to recognize
those who have significantly contributed to The Forum: Kaz Maslanka, who has spent many hours assisting with the audio and visual; Lauren Jackson for designing the logo; Dave Schubert for hosting the early Forums at Salk; Irene Abraham for many suggestions; Mary and John Benbow for ushering duties; Jessica Colby; Gerry McAllister; Steve Link; Ron Kaiser; Roger Guillemin; Jason Rogalski and Beverly Boggs.

Fire tips discussed at Bird Rock Community Council meeting

BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Wildfire prevention and neighborhood crime prevention tips were presented to attendees at the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting, held Sept. 4 at Bird Rock Elementary School. Captain Brian Ahearn of the San Diego Police Department said recent burglaries have targeted senior citizens at their homes. He said the suspects work in pairs and pose as repairmen needing to fix something outside, aiming to lure an elderly individual out of the house. “Then, one person goes out back while the other goes inside and steals a safe,” Ahearn said. He added the best way to prevent becoming a victim to crimes like this is for people to not allow anyone into their homes. During an opportunity to discuss concerns, one resident mentioned that people have been rummaging through recycle bins in his neighborhood on Sunday mornings. Ahearn said scavenging is a crime, and police performed a recent detail in Mission Beach where 60 individuals were cited for rummaging through others’ recyclables. “One thing we look for in scavenging, is if there is an uptake in residential burglaries and car prowls,” he said. • To report scavenging, call the Environmental Services Department at (858) 6947000 weekdays. In other safety news, Eddie Villavicencio, fire prevention supervisor for San Diego FireRescue Department, said a proactive brush management team will conduct residential door-to-door inspections in La Jolla’s highrisk wildfire hazard area of Mount Soledad, but not until late next year. He has 49,000 inspections to oversee in the county’s areas where backyards of homes meet wildland area, canyons or open space, he said. Since dense, native vegetation in the already dry-desert land can pose a fire risk, homeowners must have 100 feet of defensible space (measured horizontally from the structure) where brush has been thinned and pruned. When the height of the vegetation is reduced, the height of the flame during a fire
is also lowered. Additionally, when vegetation is spaced out, the speed of the fire is reduced, he said. “My goal is to educate the community so in turn they can self-police, and by the time we come around to do inspections, they are in compliance and get a clean bill of health from us,” Villavicencio said. If a homeowner is found to be out of compliance with the brush management requirements, he or she will have 30-60 days to fix the problem or be subject to a misdemeanor violation. Villavicencio said the city receives about 2,000 complaints each year regarding property negligence. But he said most calls are involving neighbor disputes, which is a civil matter that the department doesn’t become involved in. The main complaints are about neighbor’s trees, and he said the city has limited fire enforcement regarding non-city owned trees. One enforceable scenario is if a large percent of the tree canopy is resting on the roof, he said. Another example is “if the canopy of the tree is within 10 feet of a chimney outlet, then we have a code that says it has to be cut back — not removed,” he said. • Brush abatement problems can be reported to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department’s Brush and Weed Hotline at (619) 533-4444. To find the regulations, areas and an inspection schedule, visit tinyurl.com/5uqcltc Other BRCC news n Cars on the sidewalk: Council president Joe Parker said he sees cars parked on the sidewalk between Julian Bakery and Lele’s Cleaners, on La Jolla Boulevard near Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. He said these parked cars cause problems for pedestrians, especially “the disabled folks with access issues and parents pushing strollers.” Community relations police officer Omar Sinclair said he would arrange a day for an officer to patrol that area during busy morning hours, noting parking on a sidewalk is a violation.

Torreys move to 2-0 on season High School Report By Phil Dailey enior quarterback Eddie Garcia threw four first-half touchdowns to four different receivers as La Jolla Country Day defeated Vincent Memorial from Calexico, 49-0, on Friday night. Playing less than a half of the football game, Garcia converted on 10-of-14 passes for 191 yards. Tight end Nate Miichalski and receivers Sage Burmeister, Tyler Sheflo and Christian Hayes each caught touchdown passes from Garcia. Running back Colin McMahon led all rushers with 83 yards on eight carries and scored two TDs. The junior varsity team defeated Vincent Memorial 34-14. The Torreys have this week off and then the schedule gets tougher with two talented nonleague opponents followed by a Coastal League slate filled with ranked opponents.

La Jolla High suffers tough loss La Jolla High School lost a tough football game to San Marcos last Friday, 32-8. “We did an excellent job defending their running game but unfortunately gave up two TD passes that hurt our effort,” LJHS coach Rey Hernandez said. “We were playing without two starting defensive backs and this hurt us. I’m hoping we can continue to improve in the coming weeks.” The Vikings (0-2) also lost their starting QB in the first half. Up next is a trip to Valley Center on Friday night.

The week-long program is designed to provide a supportive environment for healing and rehabilitation, and to promote a healthy lifestyle for Veterans who are newly injured. “San Diego offers a perfect climate, picturesque scenery and ocean breezes — we hope this will create a healing experience for these Veterans,” said VASDHS Director/CEO, Jeffrey T. Gering, FACHE. “We provide the highest quality health care to our Veterans every day, and we’re pleased to be able to offer this Clinic as an extension of the medical, mental health and rehabilitative care we already provide.” The event is open to 100 recently injured military Veterans who have spinal cord injuries traumatic brain injuries, certain neurological conditions, amputations, other mobility impairments, or post-traumatic stress disorder. For many injured Veterans, this will be their first opportunity to participate in recreational sports and activities after being injured. “We know from our experience with VA’s other national rehabilitative events, that the camaraderie of participating with other veterans in rehabilitative sports has a powerful therapeutic impact on these Veterans,” Gering added. The opening and closing ceremonies will be held at the San Diego Marriott Marquis and Marina. Sporting events will be held at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista; Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores; and the Tidelands Park in Coronado. Admission is free and the public is welcome. n More information is available at: www.summersportsclinic.va.gov.

They Will Surf Again makes final at La Jolla Shores This Saturday Life Rolls On Foundation (LRO) will host its final “They Will Surf Again” (TWSA) adaptive surfing event of the season at La Jolla Shores. They Will Surf Again empowers paraplegics and quadriplegics of all ages and experience with the opportunity to surf with the assistance of adaptive equipment and teams of volunteers. This is the last of nine They Will Surf Again events in 2012, which took place in seven states, including California, Florida, Hawaii, New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. “We are so happy that the last city of this year’s They Will Surf Again season is in Southern California,” said local veteran volunteer Jutta Weber. “All of the Southern California events have been such amazing experiences for me, and I noticed that the program keeps growing. I am so proud to be a part of an organization that does something unique for this community. ” More than a recreational activity, They Will Surf Again fosters hope, confidence, and community for young people living with paralysis and their families, while pow-
erfully demonstrating that if one can surf while paralyzed, anything is possible. All equipment, materials, meals, and instruction are provided at no cost to participants and although Life Rolls On primarily serves the spinal cord injury community, no individual faced with a mobility challenge is ever turned away. They Will Surf Again is made possible by the support of generous national sponsors: Surf Industry Manufacturers Association, Global Surf Industries, and Rollx Vans. Local sponsors for They Will Surf Again-San Diego include: LoFric, Surf Diva, Popeye Moving & Storage, O.N.E. Coconut Water, and KIND Healthy Snacks. For more information about Life Rolls On or They Will Surf Again, visit www.liferollson.org. About Life Rolls On Foundation Life Rolls On Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life for young people affected by spinal cord injury and utilizes action sports as a platform to inspire infinite possibilities beyond paralysis.

Ruth Chandler juggles raising daughters with public relations work Ruth Chandler, an off-and-on resident of La Jolla, earned her bachelor’s degree in communications. The media coordinator for the La Jolla Historical Society, and past media consultant for the San Diego Air & Space Museum, she has done PR work for Scripps Oceanography’s annual Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest, and she volunteers with the La Jolla Christmas Parade. Beginning in 1983, Chandler was an international flight attendant for Continental Ruth Chandler Airlines, and later chief flight attendant for Al Neuharth, founder and chairman of USA Today. She’s traveled to 23 countries, including Vietnam, Moscow and Egypt. In between her flying careers, she was introduced to the exuberant world of Washington, D.C. social society when she worked for former White House Social Secretary, the late Gretchen Poston, and on Ronald Reagan’s second Inaugural committee. Currently, Chandler is a member of the National Charity League with her daughters, and she also volunteers at The Gillispie School, All Hallows Academy, and Stella Maris Academy.

Swimmer to tackle English Channel in honor of coach
Who or what inspires you? I am surrounded by blessings and inspiration — my sister, Connie, for her incredible selflessness; my brother-in-law, Jerry Englert, for his business acumen; and my other brother-in-law, Eric Figi, for his faith. But no one tops my dad, Hap Chandler, who at 88-years-young, is the epitome of character, integrity, honor and awe-inspiring self discipline. Of course, I also draw inspiration from my two enchanting daughters, Chandler and Madison.
By Linda Hutchison When you’re a young woman returning from the funeral of another young woman, what do you think about? For some, it might be returning safely, quickly and gratefully to normal life. But if you’re Allison (Alli) DeFrancesco, a competitive swimmer, and you’ve just lost your favorite swim coach to cancer, you think in different terms — especially if you’re a cancer survivor yourself. Just a year after receiving a bone marrow transplant in 2010 to combat Hodgkin’s lymphoma, DeFrancesco attended the funeral of her NYU swim coach Lauren Beam, who died at 32 of colon cancer. On the long flight back to San Diego, DeFrancesco found herself exploring new territory.

It’s sophisticated dining at Grant Grill in the Gaslamp By Kelley Carlson n the 1950s and ’60s, the Grant Grill was dominated by San Diego’s high-profile businessmen — bankers, lawyers, judges, newspaper editors — who were guaranteed male-only power lunches until 3 p.m. daily. But in 1969, three female lawyers staged a “sit-in” and were successfully seated, paving the way for everyone to be able to experience the elegant ambience and awardwinning cuisine of this historic restaurant. Located on the first floor of the 101-yearold US Grant Hotel, today’s version of the Grant Grill provides several seating areas that can accommodate couples on dates, private parties, out-of-town visitors, families, and of course, entrepreneurs gathering for power lunches. There is the upper lounge, where guests can relax in cushioned chairs and couches and kick back with an intriguing read or engage in an intimate conversation. The lounge/bar, lit by chandeliers, is the main spot for entertainment, as rotating three-piece bands play jazz, blues, rock and pop starting at 8 p.m. Thursdays through

On The
Menu Recipe
Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. n This week: Grant Grill’s Pastrami Spiced Albacore Saturdays. Patrons can also catch the latest news on the TV while sipping on their favorite cocktails from vintage glassware, or partake in Customs Nightly — with halfpriced drinks and desserts such as Peaches & Cream, S’mores, Strawberry Shortcake — from 10 p.m. to midnight daily. The main dining room has a classic setting with its cream-colored tablecloths and plush booths and chairs. Special occasions may be commemorated in the private dining room, which features a
skylight, fireplace, original woodwork and the restaurant’s wine collection. Outside is a small, shaded patio where customers can settle in a seat and observe the hustle and bustle along downtown San Diego’s Fourth Avenue. Dogs are welcomed with beds and water bowls. Grant Grill utilizes outdoor space in other ways, as well. In its rooftop garden, which overlooks Horton Plaza, vegetables and herbs are grown that are incorporated into the restaurant’s seasonal California fare. Whatever produce isn’t gathered there is obtained from area farms and markets. Main menu items may change once or twice a month, while tasting selections may switch every one to two weeks, according to Chris Kurth, chef de cuisine. This month’s tasting menu includes Chicken Liver Ravioli with corn, pickled vegetables, garbanzo beans and leek flowers; and Albacore with dashi, cipollini onions, young peanuts and maitake mushrooms. But there are some entrees that are available year-round, including Grant Grill’s signature dish, Mock Turtle Soup, which has
been served since the restaurant’s inception. Although the recipe originally used real turtle, it now consists of slow-braised rib, carrots, onion, tomato paste and about 20 additional ingredients, with no turtles harmed. It is brought to a table in a small copper pot and then poured into a bowl in front of the guest. The server proceeds to add sherry on top of it to “give it a distinctive flavor,” Kurth explained. A lunchtime favorite is the Grant Grill Grilled Cheese — melted aged fontina, La Quercia speck ham and balsamic tomatoes in between slices of toasted Rosemary bread. Grant Grill also offers brunch and breakfast, with dishes such as waffles topped with cherry apricot compote, vanilla cream, allspice oat streusel and strawberries; and a Farmer’s Frittata with rooftop garden greens, gruyere, beech mushrooms and citrus tomato sauce. The foldout children’s menu — which states fun facts about U.S. presidents and is coloring-friendly — has foods like Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes and Shamu-shaped waffles, along with mac ‘n’ cheese, spaghetti, fruit kabobs, burgers and fish ‘n’ chips.

FROM 10 QUESTIONS, B1 If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I’d include business dynamos and great moms: Sharman Dye; Moreen Fielden; Nancy Warwick; Wendy Segal; Erma Bombeck; Annie McBee; my “baby”sister, Alison Figi; and my mother, Marjorie Chandler. Since I’m only as good as the directions on the box, let’s hope Sharman takes command and caters! What are you reading? I’m a voracious, but eclectic, reader across the genre spectrum. I love anything by Vince Flynn, Nelson Demille, and Brad Thor, but I also love re-reading the classics required in my daughters’ English classes. What is your most-prized possession? My sister Alison has always said I have an Erma Bombeckian sense of humor,
taking the banal and twisting it into the absurdly funny. Without that sense of humor, life would be too grim. What do you do for fun? Raising two teenage daughters as a single mom doesn’t allow time for a lot of “fun” per se, but I think I derive entertainment from my daughters and their friends. I love to watch all these wonderful, engaging and riotously funny girls interact. Witnessing my children thrive gives me great joy. What is your most-marked characteristic? I had to call my dad on this one! After thinking a few moments, he said my vivaciousness and sense of curiosity. Since he knows me best, I’ll stick with those. My daughters said it was my strength they most admire. What would be your dream vacation? After my youngest daughter graduated
Just A sAmpLing of our sELEctions:
from eighth-grade, my dad piloted my second mom, Nancy Ann, my sisters and I along with my daughters, back to Washington, D.C. on his Cessna Citation to visit our extended family. It was the first time my children saw my old stomping grounds and caught lightning bugs. We visited old haunts of my dad’s and toured his childhood home on the grounds of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. The Library of Congress scheduled a special tour and private showing of Wright Brothers’ memorabilia to honor my dad. So, in a way, I’ve already been on that dream vacation since it included every person I love most! What is your motto or philosophy of life? “To thine own self be true,” and my philosophy mirrors that of the great Auntie Mame who pronounced, “Live! That’s the message! Life is a banquet and most [people] out there are starving to death!”

FROM SWIMMER, B1 “I felt I had to do something,” she said. “I had to turn a negative into a positive. I wanted to do something personal, yet universally meaningful.” Why not swim the English Channel, also known as the Everest of swimming? What better way to celebrate the memory of her coach and her own recovery? “It was also a way of reclaiming my life and not letting cancer define it,” said DeFrancesco, who has been cancer-free for two years. Once back home in Del Mar, she mentioned the idea to her swim club coach Joe Benjamin and he encouraged her to go forward. She reserved the required pilot boat and time slot, Sept. 23-24. (Because bad weather can delay English Channel swims, the date is not exact.) Just as DeFrancesco will plunge into the Channel, she plunged into her rigorous training routine: swimming 40 miles a week, six mornings and evenings, alternating ocean (La Jolla Cove) and pool. She also cross-trains at a gym in Cardiff with a personal
to swim the distance. DeFrancesco’s love of swimming began early — at the age of one — when she jumped into the deep end of her grandparent’s swimming pool in Del Mar. Her uncle dove in and rescued her. “Growing up, I was always in the ocean, body surfing on the backs of my father and uncle,” she said. She went on to become a competitive swimmer in high school and at NYU, where she majored in art history. The same uncle who saved DeFrancesco 23 years ago, Richard Wheelock, Jr., will accompany her across the Channel, in the pilot boat with the captain and her athletic trainer, Brian Finn. She’ll enter the water at Shakespeare Beach in England (next to the White Cliffs of Dover), where her mother will help send her off, and exit at Cap Gris-Nez in France. Although the straight-across distance is about 23 miles, swimmers must zigzag through unpredictable currents, which adds miles and can mean finishing as

trainer. She fits her workouts around her full-time position as a registrar for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. In addition to the challenge of training, she also has to eat enough food to add 10-30 pounds to her lean 5’10” frame, so she’ll be able to handle the 60-degree English Channel water. “Eating and preparing food has become my second full-time job,” she said, not always easy after a full day of training and working. The routine is also helping her heal and learn patience, she said, both as a person and as a swimmer. A competitive sprinter by training, she must now call on her mental as well as physical strength
much as eight miles north or south of Cap Gris-Nez. The average time for the English Channel swim is 13 hours. During the swim, DeFrancesco will be fed liquid carbs and monitored closely for stroke count. The Channel Swim Association does not allow wet suits. “It’ll just be my Speedo, swim cap, goggles, and glo sticks,” she said. And grease. The biggest external challenges facing Channel swimmers are weather, currents, jellyfish, floating debris, diesel fuel, and other ships (the Channel is the world’s busiest shipping lane, with approximately 500 ships passing through every day). DeFrancesco is still raising money for her swim and plans to donate any extra funds to First Descents, a non-profit organization that helps young adults with cancer enjoy outdoor adventures. A dual citizen of the United States and Italy, she worked at the Guggenheim Museum in Venice and sees more travel and more outdoor activities in her future.

Competitive world of sales plays out in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ By Diana Saenger David Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross,” winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle Award, opens at the La Jolla Playhouse under the direction of Christopher Ashley on Sept. 18. In 2005, it garnered a Tony Award for “Best Revival of a Play.” The story centers on a group of real estate salesmen who employ every trick in the book to survive. Some of those tactics affect them and their goals of attaining The American Dream. The title comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters, Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms. Peter Maloney, who plays Shelly “The Machine” Levene, said the play is as relevant today as it was in 1984.
If you go ■ What: ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings, Sept. 18-Oct. 21 ■ Where: Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD campus ■ Tickets: From $15 ■P hone: (858) 550-1010 ■ Website: lajollaplayhouse.org “It’s timeless, and I think one of the best plays ever written,” Maloney said. “There’s a saying that ‘if one day someone invented a deck of cards, the next day someone would figure out
how to cheat with that deck.’ This story is about an aging salesman who is desperate to succeed and does for a moment, but then the opportunities are gone.” As a writer, director and actor, Maloney knows story development from all angles. Some of his Broadway performances include such heavyweights as “West Side Story,” “Judgment at Nuremburg,” “Dinner at Eight,” “Carousel,” and “Six Degrees of Separation.” He’s appeared in 50 films and on TV. So why take on the role of Shelly Levene right now? “I love Mamet,” Maloney said. “There are pages and pages of dialogue, so it’s tough, but Shelly is one of the greatest characters I’ve had the chance to play during my 50 years in this business. When Howard Rosenstone, David’s agent,
Peter Maloney (Shelly Levene) and Johnny Wu (John Williamson) rehearse their roles in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross,’ by David Mamet at La Jolla Playhouse. Rebecca Joelson died, David asked me to read the opening scene, featuring Shelly, at Howard’s memorial service. That confirmed what I already knew; Mamet was an excellent writer. I was stunned by the excellence of the play and saw it five times in New York.” Maloney knows Mamet is fascinated by the con. “This story is about power,” he said. “It’s about who’s on top.
These men are like lions with the young ones nipping at the heels of their older peers.” “Glengarry Glen Ross,” is well known for its excessive profanity and since this is the original script, patrons should be aware that the dialogue is full of vulgarity. “To me this play has the best writing in American theater,” Maloney said. “There’s not one word wasted. Mamet writes like a
composer with a musical aspect to the words — especially in the rhythms. The profanity is there because that’s the way people talk. This is Chicago, and these are macho men working in a fraudulent business selling property to people who don’t need it or can’t afford it. It’s stories like this that kept viewers watching ‘The Sopranos’ for seven years.”

hen Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelry on La Jolla’s Wall Street in 1946, they could never have known that their business would later become one of the longest standing retail landmarks in the community.

FROM AQUARIUM, B1 has been the highest number recorded since the grand opening year, 1992. The public aquarium and interactive museum showcase discoveries by researchers at the world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. She said one of the institution’s most exciting plans for the years ahead is a rare pilot program to try and breed seadragons, funded by a grant from the Lowe Family Foundation. “We are setting up a special area for breeding them,” she explained. “The seadragons are from Australia and very little is understood about them.” Another exhibit in the works is called “Deep Ocean,” which was spearheaded by public interest, Hillgarth said. It will include
deep-ocean research facts from scientists at the university, and is expected to take at least three years to complete. Birch Aquarium has received numerous awards for its efforts to conserve the threatened seahorse and Hillgarth said the aquarium has become famous for its seahorse research. The current exhibit, “There’s Something About Seahorses,” presents seahorse families and includes a “baby” nursery. When asked what impact she hopes the aquarium has on the children who visit, Hillgarth answered, “I hope they are totally hooked on the wonders of the ocean. I become inspired when kids actually go into the ocean and explore. If I can get a kid excited to go snorkeling in La Jolla caves, I’ve done my job.”

Steve Martin’s humor shines through ‘The Underpants’ If you go ■ What: ‘The Underpants’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings, Sept. 8-30
Let’s Review
By diana Saenger
T
he North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 31st season opened Saturday with “The Underpants,” drawing raves and one laugh after another. Comedian Steve Martin adapted the turn-of-thecentury German farce by Carl Sternheim. It centers on a young married woman, who as she stretches up tall to see the King pass by in a parade, tightens her waist muscles. This causes her underwear to fall down around her ankles. Scandalous! And that’s what Louise Maske’s (Holly Rone) husband, Theobald Maske (Matthew Henerson), thinks. He rants and raves and belittles Louise every minute. She can’t cook correctly … she’s a poor housekeeper. Theo demands that Louise stay at home so as not to embarrass him anymore and jeopardize his government job. With every
■ Where: North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach ■ Tickets: $37-$54 ■ Phone: (858) 481-1055 ■ Website: northcoastrep.org complaint Henerson unfurls, there’s another round of laughs that follows. From the minute Rone steps on stage as Louise to express her anxiety about what happened, she has the audience in her hands. Louise takes Theo’s verbal abuse like a guard at Buckingham Palace. His tart words seem to fly by her. Yet inside, the repressed Louise has rebellious feelings and yearns to break free and become sexually alive. She gets that opportunity when two potential renters show up looking for a room after witnessing Louise’s fall from modesty. Ben (Omri Schein) and Frank (Jacob Bruce) profess they are in
The cast of ‘The Underpants’ includes Clarinda Ross, Jonathan McMurtry, Matthew Henerson, Jacob Bruce, Holly Rone, and Omri Schein. Courtesy love with Louise. They reveal their dreams of sleeping with her. The words she hears from Frank, a poet, are the ones she has longed to hear from her husband. Ben is such a neurotic mess; it’s impossible for Louise not care for him, as well. Schein and Bruce are so adept at portraying their eccentric

characters, it’s as if Martin handpicked them to explicitly deliver the laughs. When Louise admits to her nosy upstairs neighbor, Gertrude (Clarinda Ross), that she has two suitors; Gertrude promises to prep Louise on how to have an affair. Actually it’s Gertrude who longs to be loved, but is willing fulfill her desires
vicariously through Louise. Ross, a film and TV star, creates an interesting and waggish personality in Gertrude, and is the perfect sidekick. The character of Klinglehoff does not have much stage time, but played by veteran actor Jonathan McMurtry, there’s a treasure in every moment. Direction by Mark Pinter
is clearly superb, and the set design by Marty Burnett is fantastic. Set in Dusseldorf, the apartment looks like a place where Hansel and Gretel would live. It’s fun to just gaze around at the crooked railings and slanted shelves, and wonder if Theo will ever get over his fascination with the Loch Ness Monster.

Party with Friends of La Jolla Library on Saturday Friends of La Jolla Library will host a special membership gala, 2:30-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15 — a first — to thank those who support the Riford Library, at 7555 Draper Ave., through their Friend’s memberships. “We plan a festive and informative event with musicians from the La Jolla Conservatory of Music, refreshments, children’s story times at 2:45 and 3:15 p.m., tours of the library, the new art exhibit, ‘Fresh Paint,’ and a scavenger hunt,” said membership committee member Amy Threefoot Valeiras. “Information will be displayed on programs, collections and facility improvements made possible through donations and book sales.” Valeiras went on to say “many people are not aware that we host free Community
Room movies, art shows, a chess club, new college center, and our future popular-book lending library. This is only a small amount of what we offer and we want to thank our supporters and let the community know what is available at our library.” The reception is scheduled for a time when the library is closed to the public, but anyone can become a Friend of the La Jolla Library at the door with a contribution of $10 or more. To RSVP, call (858) 552-1656, or send an e-mail to: membership@lajollalibrary.org

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