The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday on Upper Girard, between Pearl and Genter Streets. To make life easier for those enjoying the more than 100 artists the wine, beer and food, valet parking and free shuttles await.

Handicapped persons (with appropriate documentation) will receive free valet parking. ■ Donovan’s Steak and Chop House will provide its “Don-OVan” for shuttle service at the intersection of Nautilus Street and Fay Avenue to allow for parking at nearby schools and along Nautilus Street. ■ Another shuttle stop will be located at Silverado Street and Fay Avenue to allow for parking at nearby parking garages and streets. Both shuttles will run from 10:30 a.m until 6:30 p.m. with drop-off and pick-up at the south entrance on the corner of Girard Avenue and Genter Street, accessible via Fay Avenue. ■ For a list of open public garages and lots (and the shuttle routes) go to www.ljawf.org ■ Pet sitting: Dogs will not be allowed at the festival but can be dropped off for safekeeping for a tip fee at DogZenergy, 7430 Girard Ave.

The rose garden that graces the front of La Jolla United Methodist Church at 6063 La Jolla Blvd. gets the nod for this week’s kudos. Retired Rev. Tom Denman, the church’s first pastor, started the lush garden about 25 years ago as a “project.” It is now tended as a labor of love by a volunteer church committee led by Paula Todd. “We look at the rose garden as a gift to the community,” Todd said, noting there are more than 100 rose bushes in the planting. She said a committee of about 14 or 15 members volunteers three or four times annually on weekends to do most of the work. In the spring, the church hangs a banner that implores passersby to “stop and smell the roses.”

La Jolla area researchers work to extend prostate cancer options by Lynne Friedmann Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. It will affect one in six U.S. men in their lifetime; African-American men are more than twice as likely to die from it. Diagnosis involves a simple blood test and, if caught early effective treatments are available. Yet only 36 percent of men, age 50 to 64, receive regular prostate cancer screening; compared to more than 70 percent of women, in the same age group, who receive regular mammogram screening for breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. While there are new drugs and more targeted therapy available than ever, basic research being done within labs in Torrey Pines Mesa may eventually lead to other forms of treatment and maybe even a vaccine. The chestnut-size prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. The American Urological Association recommends that all men age 40 and over talk with their doctor about prostate cancer screening, particularly if there is a family history of prostate cancer. Screening involves a blood test to measure PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels together with a digital rectal exam. The good news is cancer caught

before it has spread beyond the prostate gland can often be successfully treated with surgery or radiation therapy. “Radiation can be made to conform to the shape of the tumor, allowing us to avoid damaging the bladder and colon,” said John P. Einck, M.D., assistant clinical professor, department of radiology, UCSD School of Medicine, in a public health seminar presented Sept. 13 at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center as part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. For more aggressive forms of prostate cancer, several new FDA-approved drugs shown to improve survival have recently come on the market. “There are more drugs available now than ever, with an additional 15 or 20 agents in the (drug-development) pipeline,” said Christopher J. Kane, M.D., F.A.C., professor of surgery/urology, and chief of urology at UCSD School of Medicine. In May, The Scripps Research Institute and the Moffitt Cancer Center (Tampa, Fla.) were awarded more than $2 million to study the origins of prostate cancer and the role that inflammation plays in tumor development and growth. Researchers at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center hope to develop a low-cost immunotherapy for pros-

tate carcinoma based on a decade of research that has shown the immune system’s “killer” T-cells — thought to recognize only peptides or pieces of proteins — can also recognize sugars on the surface of tumor cells. The next step is to utilize the T-cells’ recognition ability to attach and kill the cancer cell. “If ultimately proven successful, this could be used in a first attempt to try to address vaccination on a large scale to prevent cancer,” said immunologist Alessandra Franco, M.D., Ph.D., adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the UCSD School of Medicine in a news release announcing additional funding for the research. Some types of prostate tumors are more aggressive and more likely to metastasize than others. Nearly onethird of these aggressive tumors contain a small nest or else are entirely made up of especially dangerous cells known as neuroendocrinetype cells. In July, a team of investigators at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute reported the identification of a series of proteins that could provide doctors with an earlywarning sign for tumors that are likely to metastasize. “In identifying this protein pathway, we’ve identified new markers that can be used to distinguish the

dangerous cells and find new targets for therapy,” according to Ze’ev Ronai, Ph.D., associate director of Sanford-Burnham’s National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center. Sanford-Burnham researchers also study the impact of nutrition on cancer using mass spectrometry to track stable isotopes incorporated into nutrients taken up and metabolized by cells. The result is a stepby-step snapshot of how cancer cells defy poor nutritional environments, what happens to the nutrients they take in, and how to pinpoint and exploit vulnerabilities in cancer cells. While prostate cancer is a relatively common type of cancer in men, it tends to grow very slowly. This being the case, often the best course of action is simple observation,

known as “active surveillance” without the surgery or radiation that can unnecessarily diminish the quality of life for men. “I can guarantee no side effects with active surveillance,” said J. Kellogg Parsons, M.D., M.H.S., associate professor of surgery, UCSD Medical Center. In March, a new clinical trial at UCSD Moores Cancer Center was launched. Known as the MEAL (Men’s Eating And Living) study, it is the first to evaluate whether lifestyle changes can delay the progression of prostate cancer. “We focus on more vegetables, less meat, and comprehensive counseling which encourages a more active lifestyle,” said J. Kellogg Parsons, M.D., M.H.S., urologic oncologist at the Moores Center.

Youngsters, money welcome President to La Jolla By James R. Riffel and Gustavo solis City News Service President Barack Obama was greeted by school children and protestors on Monday en route to a private fundraising event at the La Jolla home of Mason and Elizabeth Phelps. “This is going to be a tough election because the economy is tough and people are frustrated,’’ Obama told about 150 supporters at the gathering. “... There is one vision that says we will pull back and abandon our commitment to the aged and the vulnerable. ... A vision where we’re destined to have a smaller vision of what we can do together. “The other is a big, ambitious, bold, optimistic of America where we are investing in the future, in our people, where we make the tough decisions to be competitive in the 21st Century,’’ he said. The President, who started his West Coast swing in Seattle on Sunday, arrived at MCAS Miramar aboard Air Force One just after 1:30 p.m. Monday and stopped to greet dignitaries, Marines and families before heading to the La Jolla Rancho Road home where he greeted about 150 people who paid dearly

to contribute to his campaign coffers. Before he arrived, neighbor Richard Mehren told NBCSanDiego he thought he would “come down here and see what the crowd turnout is and hopefully we’ll see the President. It’s a once- in-a-lifetime event. It’s not often the President comes a couple of doors away.” Mayor Jerry Sanders and Rep. Bob Filner, D-San Diego, greeted Obama after he stepped down the stairs from the aircraft, and the three spoke for about three minutes. Since his flight arrived several minutes early, the president jogged over to about 40 onlookers — Marines and their families — to offer greetings and shake hands. At one point, he picked up an infant dressed in a Chargers’ outfit and posed for a photograph. San Diego resident Adrienne Tacheco said it “was an honor” to exchange pleasantries with the president, but forgot what was said. “I can’t remember — it’s just a blur,’’ Tacheco said. ``I think he said ‘thanks for coming.’” Obama left the Marine air base and flew to Los Angeles for more fundraising Monday before heading to Denver.

Drive begins anew to block RV, trailer parking By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Oversize vehicles are once again stirring discussions among residents upset by the eyesore and inconvenience they create. “It’s getting worse and I’m afraid the problem is caused by residents aware of neighbors’ complaints,” said Joe Parker, president of Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC). He has been drawing attention to “repeat of-

fenders” by running photos of offending vehicles under the title “Hall of Shame” in the council’s monthly newsletter. “People are routinely leaving them for more than a 72-hour period (what’s legal), sometimes more than a week at a time, in front of other people’s homes or refusing to park them in storage,” Parker added. “Littering the streets with these vehicles is totally inappropri-

Fall Prevention for Seniors

Have you or a loved one slipped or fallen recently? According to the San Diego Fall Prevention Task Force, over 12,000 older adults end up in SD county hospitals every year due to a fall. Seniors, especially postmenopausal women, are often prone to falling due to medications or impaired strength, balance reactions and vision. The following Fall Prevention Exercises can help seniors stay mobile, independent and fall-free: • Swing hips 5 times in a large clockwise circle, then counterclockwise. • Stand on toes of both feet for 5 seconds, then come down. Repeat 10 times. • Stand on left foot for 5 seconds, then the right. Repeat 10 times on each leg. • Take 5 small steps to the left without crossing your feet while moving your hands along the edge of a countertop; take 5 steps back. Repeat 10 times. • Stand on left foot and move right leg out to the side and back again. Repeat 10 times, alternating legs. Important: These exercises should never be performed alone if you are having difficulty with balance and strength. Please be sure to have a trained caregiver, family member or therapist assist you at all times.

feet of any intersection at any time. Violators would rack up a $100 fine. But that program, which would have applied west of Interstate 5, was discontinued back in 2008 “because the mayor came out with news that there was going to be a sizable budget deficit, which has continued,” said Matt Awbrey, communications director for Second District Councilman Kevin Faulconer who backed the proposed changes. Faulconer recently has heard constituents’ renewed calls for a solution and has been meeting with residents, police and members of the Good Sam Club, an RV group opposed to new restrictions. He also has been reviewing the earlier proposal to see if it needs amending, Awbrey said. “I want a fair and balanced approach to address the safety concerns created by illegally parked oversized vehicles,” said Faulconer in an e-mail. “This is a qualityof life-issue in our beach communities and I’m committed to working with all stakeholders to find solutions.” A push is also coming again from Pacific Beach Town Councilman Scott Chipman, who has been lobbying coastal community planning groups — including BRCC — to enlist them in a renewed effort to rid neighborhoods of the problem of “squatting” vehicles. He agrees ignoring it won’t make the issue disappear. “It’s visual pollution,” Chipman said, adding the problem is more than aesthetic. “It impacts your visibility as you’re going down the street and up to intersections with cars pulling out from behind RVs or commercial vehicles that have been parked and you can’t see them. It affects normal parking. There’s not much good that comes of the permanent parking of these vehicles in our neighbor-

a trailer sits unattached on a Bird Rock street. Courtesy hoods.” RVs and similar vehicles obstructing views and displacing parking are less obvious — and problematic — elsewhere in La Jolla than they are in Bird Rock. But they do exist. “Something needs to be done about it,” said Rick Wildman, La Jolla Town Council president who added, although they’re not showing up in the Village business district, RVs and trailers on residential side streets such as Park Row are “a problem.” “The whole community needs to get on it and find a solution,” he added, noting that it might be an item for a future Town Council meeting. Audrey Keane, president of La Jolla Shores Association, said vehicles blocking views aren’t really a problem there because red zones in areas near the beach prohibit stopping, standing or parking of any kind. But not everyone in the Shores, including Eleanor Mosca at 8211 El Paseo Grande, agrees. “There are people literally camping out on the street in huge executive campers all

summer long and moving them every 72 hours,” she said. “These campers are huge and wider than a car, and, even if they’re touching the curb, they’re still so wide that two cars can’t pass each other on the street: It’s a serious problem.” Keane said there is another kind of oversize vehicle in the Shores presenting problems. “People have complained about kayak trucks taking up parking spaces,” she said. Efforts to overhaul rules for large vehicles illegally parked in neighborhoods are complicated by the language of existing rules, said Awbrey. He noted those rules currently require a vehicle parked on the street to be moved one-tenth of a mile every 72 hours, but allows them to be driven around the block and parked again right away. “Those are the type of rules we’re working with now that aren’t giving parking abatement officers and police the right tools to enforce this,” he said. To report oversize vehicles, call Minnie Ramos, supervisor of Vehicle Abatement, at (858) 495-7856.

fighters before any structures were threatened. “A 911 call came in from a person who reported that her husband had thrown hot barbecue coals and set the brush on fire,” said Lee Swanson, San Diego FireRescue spokesman. “It

burned a grass area 20 feet by 20 feet, but firefighters put it out in fairly short order.” Swanson said eight firefighters from Fire Engine 16 on Soledad Mountain and Engine 13 on Nautilus Street responded to the blaze.

WindanSea properties vandalized by taggers By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Walls, benches, streets and the famed Pump House were tagged with graffiti in La Jolla’s WindanSea neighborhood over the weekend. “Long Live RATT” was scrawled in huge letters on both a retaining wall at the corner of Neptune Place and Palomar Avenue and on construction fencing nearby at Neptune Place and Kolmar Street. “It was on the tower, on every single wall going out to the beach — it was everywhere,” said one local resident who requested anonymity. Tony Khalil, who supervises city code enforcement including the Graffiti Control Program, said clean up crews were busy early Monday. “Graffiti is one of those things we have to respond to very quickly,” he said. “We got complaints from citizens, and just went out and removed most of it along those coastal bluffs.” Brian Davis, a crew member working under Khalil, said a retaining wall on the coastal bluff near 6586 Camino de la Costa “really got hammered” by taggers. “There were a couple of tags in the middle of the street on Kolmar and Neptune,” he said. “It’s just unfortunate. What occurred was a lot of damage.” Davis added the trail of

graffiti extended from the WindanSea area south along Loring Street into Pacific Beach. The Light is not publishing any photos because police believe taggers are encouraged by seeing their work in the paper. “It’s probably going to take us a couple of days to get it all,” he said. Khalil and neighbhors speculated the tagging might be related to the death last week of Connor Wylie Baldassi, a La Jolla man whose funeral was held Sunday. “One of the (gangs), Rats, was eulogizing him in public with the graffiti tags,” he said. The 23-year-old man was found dying of stab wounds he sustained Wednesday, Sept. 21 in Pacific Beach. Baldassi was found bleeding by police shortly before 6 a.m. on Emerald Street in Pacific Beach. Police subsequently followed a trail of blood nearby to a home on Bayard Street. A couple in their 20s, who had live cannabis plants, said they’d stabbed a masked intruder who’d climbed in through their window. The couple told police the intruder had demanded marijuana before the scuffle, which led to the stabbing. A homicide detective said Monday no connection had been established between the tagging and Baldassi’s death.

La Jolla postal workers feeling pinch of cuts By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Budget issues with the U.S. Postal Service and automation are filtering down to La Jolla in the form of mail route reductions and staff layoffs and transfers. “Revenues are down so much they’ve been going through reductions in routes the past couple years,” said William Morris, a La Jolla mail carrier who resigned because of downsizing Sept. 8. Morris had worked william for six and a half Morris years, delivering at some point to every single one of La Jolla’s 56 routes. “Now that’s down to about 42,” he said. Route reductions are being accompanied by staff reductions, in the form of “involuntary transfers” to what Morris called undesirable locales for him and other several longtime La Jolla mail handlers. He decided instead to try and go from Main Street to Wall Street by moving to Florida and training to become a financial consultant. “My options were El Centro, Adalanto and Cathedral City (all desert),” he said. He and other postal workers were

faced with uprooting and moving their families to an undesirable place hoping to eventually transfer back, or to cut back to part time or leave altogether, he added. And there may be more postal downsizing yet to come at the local level. The postal service, which lost an estimated $7 billion in 2010, is considering more radical service curtailments such as eliminating Saturday mail delivery and raising the cost of postage further. Don Smeraldi, manager of corporate communications for USPS Pacific area which includes California and Hawaii, said personnel cutbacks being experienced in La Jolla are happening nationwide as a response to changing marketplace realities. “People tend to forget that even though our mail volume is declining rapidly, especially first-class letters, we’re adding (lots of) addresses every year which is increasing our costs because of those deliveries,” he said. “Our first-class mail — letters, greeting cards and single-pieces — have dropped 35 percent and continues to decline. That’s a big deal because it takes four pieces of advertising mail to make up for the revenue brought in for one piece of first-class mail. When you lose first-class volume, it’s very hard to make up for it with other products, advertising or packaging.”

Noting postal employee productivity is “way up,” Smeraldi said the need for labor is declining nonetheless due to automation. He cited one example. “We have a flat sequencing system now that takes all the flats — magazines, large letters, etc. — and sorts them in delivery sequence, which used to be done manually.” But Morris said the system as presently configured is flawed. “Magazines are coming out ripped and are not getting delivered on time,” he said adding, “People are being replaced by technology, but the technology hasn’t been working that well.” The bottom line, said Morris, is that cutting staff, routes and hours is depleting customer service, which is going to hurt them competitively in the long run. “It’s a shame,” he said. “We’re trying to sell people on the USPS, and it’s tough because they’re not dependable.” Smeraldi said the notion behind all the downsizing and scaling back with the service is to change to a business model that is “much smaller and much more nimble.” “There’s far fewer people now using the brick-and-mortar post office,” he said. “You can do almost everything now you can do at a post office on our website, uspseverywhere.com.”

Students bring culture to LJHS

n Sept. 21, La Jolla High School’s various student organizations commenced their annual registration effort, dubbed Club Day. Hundreds walked around the Viking quad, some for the free food, but most to find a club of interest or something they could relate to. From anti-hate and mock trial groups to longboarding and noteworthy music, there was a club that suited a variety of passions. Regardless of the objective, each one helped to raise the moral of the students and brought a little more culture to the campus at LJHS. — By Giovanni Moujaes

hen it comes to selling their home most people don’t realize just how much money they leave lying around. Not literally of course, you have better sense than that but people do develop “house blindness”, when you live in a home you come to accept it as it is and how you use it. You overlook the build-up in closets, cupboards and the multitude of tasks that you’ve put off longer than you can remember. However, when it comes time to sell your home it stops being your home and becomes a “house” a product. This is harder for more people than you’d think to accept. But believe me, expecting everyone else to see past your families detritus will cost you. I remember a home that for some inexplicable reason the residents had allowed their child practice his hockey strokes inside the house. Everywhere you looked there were dents and holes in the walls. To this day I can tell you nothing more about the house. Parenting issues aside, that this house was put on the

market in that condition probably cost the owner. Everyone viewing the house saw damage and dollar signs first. While this is an extreme example most sellers are guilty of overlooking their own debris field. Selling your house is a stressful disruption so do yourself a favor. Clean and de-clutter NOW. You’ll have to it when you move anyway and wouldn’t it be worth it to sell more quickly? Not all changes cost money, cleaning and tossing goes a long way and paint is an inexpensive freshener. Involve the kids. Give prizes for who can keep their room the cleanest or donate most things to charity. Assign chores; to make the beds and put the breakfast dishes in the dishwasher. You are living inside a product that’s being marketed for sale and everyone in the store must do their part to see that the product is displayed in the most attractive way possible. Don’t be a hockey puck.

FROM COAST, A1 people are and how noisy it is and I thought, ‘This is really pathetic.’ Now, three months after her fullcourt press lobbying and visiting every community group and subgroup in town, she’s organized a gathering that will start with a selfguided tour of the area between the lifeguard station and the gazebo from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. After the tour, participants will gather in the Friendship Room at 939 Coast Blvd. to brainstorm ideas on making the walkway more aesthetic and user-friendly. Landscape architect Jim Neri, who worked with the city and La Jolla community planners on master planning for the first phase of Coast Boulevard improvements back in 1989, will lead the session. He said refurbishing the boulevard is part of a “grand vision” for redeveloping La Jolla’s coastline by adding posts, chains, railings, stairs, turnouts and pathways as well as other improvements. “This piece around the lifeguard station, Children’s Pool and Casa Cove area, is just another phase of implementing that preliminary plan,” he said. Since Children’s Pool Lifeguard Tower is being replaced, beautification proponents argue now is the appropriate time to make aesthetic changes on the adjacent walkway so they tie in

with what’s already along Coast Boulevard. Those improvements include decorative, 5-foot-high columns inlaid with seashells, colorful stones and sparkles lining the sidewalks between the lifeguard station and the Museum of Contemporary Art. The column design is carried over into sidewalks and benches. Patrick Ahern, president of La Jolla Parks and Beaches Inc., the parent group for the Children’s Pool Committee chaired by Minick, noted the public workshop process has

been a proven success. “People are provided with a questionnaire and told to put down what they see, like and dislike,” he said. “Then they go back and put ideas on a large sheet of paper with colored markers.” Ahern said it’s surprising how quickly individuals conferring together leads to collaboration in a group. “Everyone starts out with their own point of view, people begin to compare ideas, then, suddenly during the workshop, a collective idea of the best design

just emerges,” he said. Longtime community planner Joe LaCava will talk about efforts to speed up demolishing the abandoned Children’s Pool Lifeguard Station and replacing it with a new structure. “The city is ready to advertise a design/build contract for the project but first needs to better understand the construction schedule,” LaCava said in an e-mail. “The demolition and the new construction is hampered by restrictions during the seal pupping season as well as the summer moratorium.” He added that city officials are talking with state and federal agencies on addressing the seal situation and wants to know if La Jollans wouldd consider waiving the Summer Moratorium. Coast Boulevard in front of Children’s Pool is not only unsightly now — it’s dangerous — Minick contended, pointing out there is as little as 36 inches of open sidewalk space where the free-speech tables on the walkway extend into the public right-of-way. In endeavoring to rehabilitate Coast Boulevard, Minick said her motive is pure, her method is professional and her aim is practical, not political. “There really is no hidden agenda,” she said. “The goal is to make it better. At the very least, make it look better. At the very most, make it safer and cleaner.”

Face it in paradise: Homeless need our help By KhoBan Ludin Those of us who live surrounded by pristine beaches, palm trees, and parks refer to San Diego as paradise point. The reality is that the city is covered by homeless Americans. They are homeless in paradise. At first glance, La Jolla seems to have striking similarities to Beverly Hills. Upon closer look, it has become a hot spot not only for tourists but also for people who are homeless. Now you are welcomed with signs comprised of statements such as ‘Smile because your life could be worse’ on the streets. In La Jolla, a person can witness a homeless person pushing a shopping cart full of clothes, blankets and second-hand possessions. When I attend my classes at UC San Diego, people without homes are visible in the bus going to Veterans Affairs health system, using the public benches, and sleeping in the main library, Geisel, during cold winter days. The visible growing number of homeless people might be tarnishing the community’s charm and annoying local La Jollans. However, their presence is a constant reminder that we should help the people within our communities. It was during this year, that I decided to volunteer, along with my friends from Muslim Student Association,

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Sleep expert offers relaxation This fall, the most relaxing spot in all of San Diego may well be the La Jolla Yoga Center. That’s where Stanford-trained sleep scientist, stress-reduction specialist, and internationally acclaimed Iyengar Yoga teacher Roger Cole, Ph.D., is offering a series of Restorative Yoga sessions each Monday evening from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Over 30 years ago, Dr. Cole recognized that certain specialized yoga postures are ingeniously designed to trigger deep relaxation reflexes in our brain and body. For example, mild head-down postures can fool the brain into sensing that blood pressure is too high, setting off a series of hormone and nerve responses that quiet the heart, open constricted blood vessels, and slow down a racing mind. In the 1980s, he went to India to learn how to teach Restorative poses from yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar.

Back in the U.S., he conducted research to discover more about what makes them tick, integrated them with modern sleep science, figured out refinements to get the most out of each pose, and assembled the best of the best of these techniques into his Restorative Yoga program. To practice it, you rest in a series of deliciously comfortable postures that very gently stretch and align your body. You use simple props, like folded blankets, bolsters, and eye covers to support yourself and enhance the relaxation. Precise positioning, sequencing, and subtle adjustments make the postures work their magic. Without effort you enter a period of deep rest, and you emerge restored and rejuvenated. No prior yoga experience is required. Poses are modified to meet each participant’s level. Wear warm, loose clothing, including socks.

Venter Institute’s new home: Green and growing at UCSD By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com The La Jolla biologist who cracked the human genetic code and created the first synthetic microbe has added a laboratory generating all its own power to his growing repertoire of “firsts.” UCSD alum J. Craig Venter described the 45,000-square-foot J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), which ultimately will house about 125 genetic research scientists and staff, as “the world’s first zero carbon research building.” “We’ve looked at a lot of different things you can do with architecture to make things truly sustainable and it’s been a real challenge,” said Venter at the Sept. 20 groundbreaking. The project will be built on UCSD property next to Allen Field at the corner of North Torrey Pines Road and Torrey Pines Road. Venter said the team modified the design to make it green, extending all the way down to “using laptop computers rather than desktops which use 10 times as much power.” UCSD Chancellor Mar-

Rendering shows what the project will look like. Courtesy ye Anne Fox said having the new Venter facility on campus would enhance collaboration of researchers and faculty in the hope of “advancing science at an even quicker pace so we can improve and save lives.” Tony Haymet, director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and UCSD Vice Chancellor for Marine Sciences, noted the new Venter Institute has “been a long time coming.” He talked about the historic roots of the new facility running deep. “Scripps started in 1903 and Miss Ellen Scripps was such a great benefactor,” he said noting the new Venter laboratory sits on the eastern edge of the 180 acres Miss Scripps had bought for SIO, as it

later came to be named. Haymet said the new laboratory’s mission to unlock the mysteries of genetics to find ways to benefit mankind fits neatly into UCSD’s legacy of groundbreaking scientific research. He referenced Roger Revelle, SIO’s fourth director, and Charles David Keeling, originator of the Keeling Curve measuring carbon dioxide buildup in the atmosphere, saying their pioneering work in global

where newspapers thrive ... weekly another View By Judy Muller Editor’s Note: This column first appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Sept. 13. It is reprinted with the permission of the author. We’ve been hearing a lot of depressing news in recent years about the dire financial prospects for big daily newspapers, including the one you’re now holding. Or watching. Or, in the argot of the digital age, “experiencing.” But at the risk of sounding like I’m whistling past the graveyard, I’d like

to point out that there are thousands of newspapers that are not just surviving but thriving. Some 8,000 weekly papers still hit the front porches and mailboxes in small towns across America every week and, for some reason, they’ve been left out of the conversation. So a couple of years ago, I decided to head back to my roots, both geographic and professional (my first job was at a weekly), to see how those community papers were faring. And what I found was both surprising and inspiring.

At a time when mainstream news media are hemorrhaging and doomsayers are predicting the death of journalism (at least as we’ve known it), take heart: The free press is alive and well in small towns across America, thanks to the editors of thousands of weeklies who, for very little money and a fair amount of aggravation, keep on telling it like it is. Sometimes they tell it gently, in code only the locals understand. After all, they have to live there too. But they also tell it with courage, standing up to powerful bullies — from coal company thugs in Kentucky to corrupt politicians in the Texas Panhandle.

“If we discover a political official misusing taxpayer funds,” an editor in Dove Creek, Colo., told me, “we wouldn’t hesitate to nail him to a stump.” You might be thinking that attitude would be fundamental for anyone who claims to be a journalist. The Los Angeles Times certainly nailed those officials in Bell to the proverbial stump in its award-winning expose of municipal corruption. But just imagine how much more difficult that job would have been if those Times reporters lived next door to the officials

By GleN raSMuSSeN Chairman, Friends of the Riford Center We want to share some news about our plans to update our entrance to The Riford Center, on the southeast corner of Bonair Street and La Jolla Boulevard that we believe is good news for the neighborhood. Our community center for adults is in a building is owned by the City of San Diego that is leased by The Friends of the Riford Center. In 2009, Councilwoman Sherri Lightner assisted in obtaining a federal HUD-funded Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of $207,000 to upgrade the access and interior of the building to comply with ADA standards. Friends was advised by the city that a simple, level side wheelchair entrance though a single door off the wide Bonair sidewalk was allowable under the ADA for existing buildings — it would be an affordable and workable way to bring the building access into ADA compliance. The close property line and the narrow sidewalk at the front of the building were impediments

to creating a ramp there. The city then reconsidered and the Riford Board has expressed its willingness to add a front entry ramp that will allow a single entrance, if the city will allow the sidewalk to be narrowed, despite contrary language in the Land Use Code (in the Planned District Ordinance). According to the City’s latest advice, in order to build the ramp the sidewalk can be narrowed to 48 inches and a deviation from the Land Use Code is not required. Construction will start very soon; the Riford Center must and will remain open during construction. The side entrance is still needed because it must be used, as an ADA compliant entrance, during construction. Adding the ramp will substantially increase construction costs. Friends of the Riford Center is an all-volunteer 501c3 organization that aims to make the Riford a physically desirable place for adults of all ages and abilities. Our mission is to provide a pleasant and safe environment, programs and services for adults, lifelong learning, wellness and friendship. We offer free classes

‘human’ signs are distracting Regarding your Sept. 15 editorial about “those ugly signs,” they are bad for La Jolla, but the signs that are worse are the ones that are held by people to attract attention. I frequently see the Pearl Car Wash having someone usually a block away from the car wash on Pearl holding up a sign. This should be in violation of the signage size and space allowed for a business, but either way, it is distracting to drivers and makes La Jolla look like a

to members. (Basic membership costs about $10 per month; we offer free membership to those who cannot afford it). Classes and activities include yoga, exercise, dance, languages, art, crafts, computer, bridge, and cooking. Recent excursions included bus trips to the Getty Museum, Japanese Gardens, and the Laguna Arts Festival. Great art is constantly displayed. Art and premier music events are held monthly at the Riford in addition to a distinguished speaker series, weekly movies, wine/food and health events. Dedicated stakeholders and donors have provided upgrades to the kitchen, great room, restrooms and courtyard, investing their time, money and energy. These areas are modernized and meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Our aim is to be a fully ADA compliant, attractive and a highly utilized community center providing education, cultural opportunities, networking and friendship for adults in La Jolla. With the “senior” population rapidly expanding, The Riford will expand its role in and its importance to our community.

classless town. I once asked the owner of Pizza on Pearl to stop having people hold up signs for them and they have since stopped. (Thank you). I’m sure I was not the only one to ask, or they just found that it was not profitable advertising. The store on Pearl that sold things for your back is gone. That store (Healthy Back, I think) always had someone outside with a sign, I guess it didn’t help. I have also seen a person holding up “house for sale” signs. We need to do something to stop the “human signage.” Barry Levine La JoLLa

process in town is very broken By roGer Clark La Jolla Shores resident

The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) is recognized by the City Council to make recommendations to the City Council, Planning Commission, city staff and other governmental agencies on land use matters. LJCPA standard operating procedures and responsibilities are outlined in Council Policy 600-24 and LJCPA Bylaws. The purpose of 600-24 and the city-approved LJCPA’s Bylaws are to identify responsibilities and to establish minimum operating procedures governing the conduct of the LJCPA when operating in its official recognized capacity. With this in mind I read the recent article written by the president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association titled; “Community View: Acknowledging errors leads to improving the process” with great interest. I have concluded the article in the La Jolla Light outlined “His View” not the “Community View.” The LJCPA review process is broken and is not working for many reasons. Here are just two reasons: 1. “Votes taken on agenda items shall reflect the positions taken by the elected or appointed positions of the planning group,” according to 600-24. On Aug. 4 by an 8 to 4 vote the LJCPA voted to appeal Mr. Crisafi’s project. The president and only the president of the LJCPA is responsible to report LJCPA’s vote to the city project manger in an official correspondence or a letter. This assures the LJCPA actions are included in the report to the decision makers. This was not done. 2. The president insinuated there was confusion as to who would file the LJCPA’s appeal, Mr. Cristfi, Mr. Merten or Mr. La Cava? There is no confusion according to city appeal procedure: “When a recognized Community Planning Group (LJCPA) files an appeal, the Appeal Form must be signed by the current Chair or President of the applicable group.” This was not done. According to Council Policy 600-24 and the LJCPA bylaws; “In cases of alleged violations of the LJCPA Bylaws or Council Policy 600-24 by a Trustee, the Board of Trustees shall conduct an investigation consistent with 600-24 and the LJCPA Bylaws.” The Community View is: We will wait for the results of the investigation by LJCPA’s board.

Ask The

Editor

■ E-mail questions to editor@lajollalight.com ■ Question: What are the guidelines for the size of variances that can be made to the 30-foot height limit? ■ Answer: Height limit is controlled in the coastal zone by the zoning pursuant to the City of San Diego’s Land Development Code (LDC) and by Proposition D passed by the voters in 1972. The 30-foot height limit pursuant to Prop. D is absolute and no variances or exceptions are allowed. Every element of the structure must be at or below 30 feet. The public atlarge can grant an exception by a public vote through an initiative process. That has happened twice since 1972; once at the Mission Brewery and once at Sea World.

FROM NEWSPAPERS, A18 they were writing about — or, as sometimes happens in a small town, if they had been related to one of them. Practicing journalism with gusto comes with a price tag in a small community — from being shunned in the checkout line at the grocery store to losing a major advertiser. Of course, most of these newspapers are not uncovering major scandals on a regular basis. That’s not what keeps them selling at such a good clip; it’s the steady stream of news that readers can only get from that publication — the births, deaths, crimes, sports and local shenanigans that only matter to the 5,000 or so souls in their circulation area. It’s more than a little ironic that smalltown papers have been thriving by practicing what the mainstream media are now preaching. “Hyper-localism,” “citizen journalism,” “advocacy journalism” — these are some of the latest buzzwords of the profession. But the concepts, without the fancy names, have been around for ages in small-town newspapers. The “holy trinity” of weekly papers consists of high school sports (where even losing teams benefit from positive spin), obituaries (where there’s no need to

LA JOLLA LIGHT - SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 - PAGE A19

The zoning height limit has some flexibility both in terms of how it is measured and what elements of a structure may be allowed to “poke” through the height limit. In addition, applicants can seek a variance or a deviation to the zoning height limit if they can meet certain findings through a public hearing at either Planning Commission or City Council. For the city code on general variance procedures in development permits go to http://docs.sandiego.gov/municode/MuniCodeChapter12/Ch12Art06Division08. pdf The Planning Commission’s decision is the final decision. However, for projects within the appealable area of the Coastal Overlay zone, essentially located between the first roadway and the ocean, the variance may be appealed to the Coastal Commission. Critical to either height limit is how the height is measured and whether the structure is on flat or sloping ground. Between the LDC and Prop D there are at least three tests of measuring the allowable limits. The goal of both regulations is for the mechanism to measure height be clearly articulated. In fact there are sometimes disagreements about how to properly measure a structure’s height, which can lead to confusion by the applicant and frustration by the neighbors.

speak ill of the dead because everyone in town already knows if the deceased was a jerk) and the police blotter. The latter can be addictive, even to outsiders. These items, often lifted intact from the dispassionate log of the sheriff’s dispatcher, are the haikus of Main Street: “Caller states that there is a 9-year-old boy out mowing the lawn next door and feels that is endangering the child in doing so when the mother is perfectly capable of doing it herself.” Or: “Man calls to report wife went missing 3 months ago.” The business models of these small-town papers are just as intriguing as the local news. In 2010, the National Newspaper Assn. provided some heartening survey statistics: More than three-quarters of respondents said they read most or all of a local newspaper every week. And a full 94% said they paid for their papers. And what of the Internet threat? Many of these smalltown editors have learned a lesson from watching their big-city counterparts: Don’t give it away. Many weeklies, from the Canadian Record in the Texas Panhandle to the Concrete Herald in Washington’s Cascade Mountains, are charging for their Web content, and, because readers

can’t get that news anywhere else, they’re willing to pay. Meanwhile, some big-city journalists are finding a new life at smaller papers. After Denver’s Rocky Mountain News folded, the paper’s Washington correspondent, M.E. Sprengelmeyer, decided to buy a paper in the small town of Santa Rosa, N.M. He brought along a photographer and a political cartoonist as well. The result — a paper that is already winning awards and an editor who is exhausted but happy to be making a living in a beautiful place. “In Santa Rosa,” he says, “the future of print is print.” I wouldn’t be so bold as to predict the future, not in a media landscape that is constantly shifting. But when we engage in these discussions about how to “monetize” journalism, it’s refreshing to remember a different kind of bottom line, one that lives in the hearts of weekly newspaper editors and reporters who keep churning out news for the corniest of reasons — because their readers depend on it. — Judy Muller, a journalism professor at USC, is the author of “Emus Loose in Egnar: Big Stories From Small Towns.” Copyright © 2011, Los Angeles Times

YOUR VIEW

A-frame signs are good for business Whose view is this anyway re: the Light’s View of Sept. 15? La Jolla is supposed to be a village but some people certainly don’t act like it. A village helps its members, not just criticizes them over such a trivial matter. In these tough economic times these A-frame signs are a great help. They let shoppers know about specials, alert you to available parking and its cost, or remind you that a business is still there and open When we are driving down the streets of La Jolla we’re too busy looking for a parking space to notice business signs over a storefront. Maybe we wouldn’t have such a proliferation of “For Lease” signs or going out of business signs plastered across the store front windows if more businesses had been able to use these great little signs (which take up so little space) to attract the tourist shoppers and others who have forgotten all the small businesses.

We should be helping our businesses to succeed instead of such petty complaining over such innocuous signs. This Village has changed through the years and several facets that make up this Jewel have also changed. We rely not just on our community to support these many diverse businesses but the tourists as well who are not familiar with us. Our very survival is at stake these days and our Jewel can become lifeless, have no fire and be dead if we don’t do whatever we can to encourage and support the small businesses that make up our Village. I find it ironic that these A-frame signs are so vehemently condemned by “Our View” and yet in “La Jolla Gems of the Week” (Page B17) you feature a picture of such a sign, the drive-thru coffee shop A-frame sign posted outside of Jonathan’s.

Construction crews were hard at work this week, making the commercial strip on the 600 block of Pearl Street that includes Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, El Pescador Fish Market and Mitch’s Surf Shop ADA-compliant after a complaint from ADA activist attorney Theodore Pinnock. El Pescador owner Sean Shannon said he was informed in spring that disabled upgrades would be necessary and had been waiting to comply until after Labor Day and the summer tourist season. He said all three establishments were to be closed for repairs for a couple of days. He added Mitch’s needs to add a wheelchair lift. DAVE SCHWAB PHOTO

Study shows decline in fish off California coast Overfishing and changes in ocean conditions have contributed to the collapse of barred sand bass and kelp bass off the Southern California coast, according to a new study led by a researcher from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. Scripps postdoctoral researcher Brad Erisman and his colleagues examined the health of regional populations of the two fish — staple catches of Southern California’s recreational fishing fleet — by combining information from fishing records and other data on regional fish populations. In a report in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, the researchers say the total amount, or biomass, of each bass species has decreased 90 percent since 1980. Yet fisheries catch rates have remained stable for a number of years, even as overall population sizes dropped drastically. This is due, the authors say, to a phenomenon known as “hyperstability” in which fishing targets spawning areas at which large numbers of fish congregate, leading to a misleading high catch rate and masking a decline in the overall population. “The problem is when fish are aggregating in these huge masses, fishermen can still catch a lot each trip, so everything looks fine — but in reality the true population is declining,” said Erisman.

from forUm, A1 foundations and the media to get introduced to all the assets that are here.” “It’s a moment in time when we’re ready for prime time. I think this is going to contribute enormously to how we think about ourselves as well as how others think about us,” she added. Speakers will be interviewed on stage by writers and editors from The AtlanJames tic, such as correspondent Bennet James Fallows and editor-inchief James Bennet. About 250 people are expected to attend. Bennet, who has held the post of editorin-chief of The Atlantic since 2006 and previously worked as a reporter and bureau chief for The New York Times, said he and the speakers prepare for the interviews in advance, but such conversations can take surprising twists and turns, especially when questions from the audience are thrown into the mix. “There’s an element of performance to it. The audiDeepak ence wants to have their Chopra own thinking provoked and they want to be entertained. They don’t want a stilted conversation, they want a real conversation,” said Bennet. The conversation should also contain flashes of humor and be accessible to those who aren’t experts in the speakers’ field, he said. Among the speakers will be Elon Musk,

founder of Paypal and current CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX; physician and author Deepak Chopra; physicist and author Leonard Mlodinow; Twitter co-founder Evan Williams; and computer game design pioneer and Sims creator Will Wright. Bill Richardson, former New Mexico governor and Clinton Administration energy secretary, and John Reed, president and CEO of San Diego’s Sanford BurnElizabeth ham Medical Research InstiBaker Keffer tute will also speak, according to the AtlanticLIVE website. Ira Magaziner, who became the senior adviser for policy development for President Clinton, especially as chief healthcare policy adviser, was added to the program on Monday. He now serves as chairman of the William J. Clinton Foundation’s international development initiatives. Bennet will talk with Chopra and Mlodinow about their new book, “War of the Worldviews: Science vs. Spirituality,” a collection of essays on such topics as the origin of the universe, the nature of time, what makes us human and whether God is real or an illusion. Chopra and Mlodinow first met in a televised Caltech debate on “the future of God,” and have since sparred a number of times on themes related to God and science. Bennet said he also wants to raise the topic of alternative medicine. In addition to the interview sessions, participants will tour research labs at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD’s Calit2 digital media program, the Moores Cancer Center and Sanford-Burnham institute. The final day of the event will take place at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Bennet and his colleagues hope to come away with story ideas for The Atlantic’s magazine and website. “We are beneficiaries as well as participants in these events,” he said.

AtlanticLIVE runs similar events each year in Aspen, Colorado, and Washington, D.C. Participating in such events, especially in a beautiful setting like La Jolla, “gets you out of your rut and exposes you to a lot of different ideas. It’s like a kind of intellectual vacation.” The Atlantic Meets the Pacific event came out of a meeting between Elizabeth Baker Keffer, president of AtlanticLIVE, and UCSD’s Walshok. AtlanticLIVE was Elon interested in establishing a musk West Coast event to complement the Aspen and Washington, D.C., forums, and found UCSD to a be a “perfect match” for an event tied to technology, health and energy, Baker Keffer said. “This program we think will be truly unique,” said Baker Keffer. She said AtlanticLIVE is already looking at dates and program ideas for next year’s event, which could be expanded to include a weekend, giving out-of-town visitors more time to explore San Diego.

La Jolla golf a total team effort this season Best

very team has its standout players or athletes, and for this year’s La Jolla High School girls golf team, it’s no different. But what is different is the team approach that has been implemented by first-year head coach Joey Chang. That team-first approach has led to the Vikings’ fast start, one that has them undefeated in 10 matches this season. “Joey is a great coach, he’s very

motivational,” said Juliette Garay, one of only two seniors on the team this season. There’s no question that this team gets a total team effort and it comes from not only upperclassmen, but from the team’s freshmen and sophomores. “Our coach is really helpful, he sends us e-mails and sets goals that we want to accomplish as a team,” sophomore Marisa Liang said. “So I think that’s helped us.” For Daniella Anastasi, she and two other freshmen have been thrust into the fast-pace of high school and playing sports. The Vikings just

finished up playing 11 matches in 14 schools days on Tuesday. “It’s been an extreme adjustment,” Anastasi said. With schoolwork and golf, like other high school athletes, their day sometimes ends in the wee hours of the night. But you wouldn’t know it by the way they play on the golf course. The success of the team has also come from the addition of some of the new players. “It helps, even one better score improves the team a lot,” Garay said. And that’s what Chang has stressed. Playing together. Playing as a team. “We talk about the whole team,” Chang said. “We’re

From GolF, A21 Just this past week, the Vikings won all three of their matches against University City, Coronado and Scripps Ranch to push their season record to 10-0. Winning now is great, but the goal for this group is to make it to CIF as a team. “The thing is, last year we were all playing individually and this year we’re actually working as a team,” said Liang, who shot a team-low 41 on Monday at Torrey Pines South. Though the team’s stretch of tough matches is behind them, they will get a gauge of just how good they are when they play one of the county’s top golf teams in Our Lady of Peace on Monday. “I think OLP will be our big match, we are pretty neck-and-neck,” Garay said.

La Jolla High grads launch website to help college freshmen with Life 101 By Jenna Jay “Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.” Napoleon Dynamite said it in the 2004 film, and La Jolla High School graduates Taylor Bourgeois and Grace Drozda agree. Bourgeois and Drozda, high school friends and current college sophomores, are the co-creators of an online program that grants access to all kinds of knowhow. Calling it Dynamite Skills, after the infamous quote, the program features more than 100 life skills packaged as a prep course tailored to young adults — and especially college freshmen. Dynamite Skills features tips and pointers in some areas that Bourgeois, a business major at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and Drozda, a pre-psychology major at UC Santa Barbara, wish they would have known before heading off to

college last year. “It just started from realizing how much we didn’t know,” Drozda said. “My parents were like, ‘You’re calling us all the time, you don’t know how to do anything.’ We

were like ‘yeah, we’re clueless.’ Everyone was in the same boat going off to college.” After discussing the distresses of learning things the hard way, while attempting to live on their own for the first time, Bourgeois and Drozda spent the last year creating the web-based crash course in life skills. Simple lessons like how to separate laundry and how to clean up vomit, obstacles most college students will face at some point in dorm life, are part of the learning curve on Dynamite Skills. The program also features lessons on other hot topics, like how to change a tire or balance a checkbook. Since Dynamite Skills was created by young adults for young adults that peerto-peer feature adds an element of trust for users.

FROM BEER, B1 explaining why TheBEERSgoneBAD fixates on beers from local breweries such as Stone, Karl Strauss, Green Flash, Ballast Point, and Coronado Brewing Co. Though the pair did not originally plan to focus on local microbrews, that has been the trend for the San Diego natives. Tugend and Van Vugt provide their basic and stripped-down opinions on a one-beer-per-episode review, feeding off each other in a makeshift studio through one-take videos that appeal to beer meisters across the expertise spectrum. “Our intentions were that we’re going to learn along the way and let everybody else know what we learned,” Tugend said. “We’re still learning the process, we’re relating the things that we find in our normal day lives.” For TheBEERSgoneBAD reviewers, it’s all about being able to relate to their viewers. Giving the most honest and unpretentious reviews, Tugend and Van Vugt have found themselves describing the tartness of Julian Hard Cider as “shock

Basic Building Blocks of Beer ■ Four ingredients: water, malted barley, hops and yeast. The factors that go into deciding the style of beer to be made are the type and amount of malt used; the type, amount and method used when adding the hops; and the strain of yeast used to ferment the beer. To get a broader range, brewers will use specialty grains (malts) in a way that adds color and flavor to the beer without adding fermentable sugars. In specialty beers, people will use spices, fruit juices, candy, and just about anything else you can think of.

Beer Glossary

■ 2. Islander IPA Coronado Brewing Co.

■ Ales: An ale yeast is called top fermenting because of its tendency to flocculate (gather) at the surface of the brew during the first few days before settling to the bottom. To brew an ale, fermentation must take place in warmer temperatures for the yeast to multiply and do its magic. Ales are usually higher in alcohol and will be noticeably fuller and more complex.

■ 3. Ruination IPA Stone Brewing Co. “For one of those nights we want to get rowdy quick.”

■ Lagers: The lager yeast simply flocculates (not at the surface) and sinks to the bottom, ergo bottom fermenting. Lager yeasts need cool temperatures during fermentation to perform their magic. Lagers tend to be lighter in color and usually taste drier than ales. They are generally less alcoholic and complex. This is the most common beer type sold in the United States.

tarts in water,” and deeming Port Brewing Co.’s WipeOut IPA an “IPA Light.” Part of the appeal of TheBEERSgoneBAD, according to the connoisseurs, is that anyone who drinks beer can relate to their reviews. “We have the platform to be the liaison between the Average Joe Shmoe, who

grabs things off the shelf and doesn’t know a centennial hop from a cascade hop, and the brewer who does,” Van Vugt said. If there is one demographic of viewers that TheBEERSgoneBAD collects, it might be the gaggle of 20and 30-somethings, like Tugend and Van Vugt them-

selves, who grew up entrenched in the “Bud Light phase” and have transitioned into the finer side of beer drinking. This is evident through original segments such as rating beers by shot-gun ability (giving a 1-10 rating on the easiness to chug, with 1 being “tomato soup”

and 10 being “Bud Light”) and also with a shot-gun challenge, in which Van Vugt invites viewers to beat him in shot-gunning a beer of their choice. For both Tugend and Van Vugt, who work in real estate and at the Bird Rock Surf Shop by day, TheBEERSgoneBAD is a new way to

channel a mutual hobby. “This thing started out as just an experiment,” Van Vugt said. “It was us tasting beer and talking about what we thought, and it turned into us having to fight ourselves from doing it five nights a week.” In the last two months, Tugend and Van Vugt have launched a blogging assault on the local beer scene. What began as an informal discussion between friends on craft brews has blossomed into a new career opportunity, and with Tugend’s technical skills and Van Vugt’s writing capabilities, TheBEERSgoneBAD just keeps growing. “Realistically right now we’re focusing on just making sure what we do have on the website is 100-percent original and engaging,” Tugend said. Plans for the future of the blog include the incorporation of UStream live broadcasting, as well as onsite taping at local breweries and restaurants. Tugend and Van Vugt will also host a craft beer and food event in Coronado on Oct. 8. For the details, go to thebeersgonebad.com

Wedding Bells

They’re Engaged!

im Canfield, CEO of Renaissance Executive Forums in La Jolla, wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Paige Ryan, in Las Vegas on her birthday, but he also wanted to pop the question in an unforgettable way. He contacted the team at Bally’s Las Vegas and a planned was hatched. Canfield cooked up a story about a special promotion at Bally’s where those having a birthday would be able to take a spin of the giant slot machine. Little did Paige know, earlier in the day, slot machine techs had turned off the slot machine and replaced the usual symbols with the message, “Will you marry me?” The wedding proposal went off without a hitch, see the YouTube video by

Bally’s at http://bit.ly/slotproposal Following the proposal, and Paige saying “yes,” her first call was to her father. (In case you’re wondering, “If they can make ‘Will you marry me?’ appear on the reels, what’s to keep a casino

from finessing the wheels at other times?” In order to make the message appear, the machine had to be set to a special, seldom-used and closely-monitored test mode. The wheels can’t be manipulated by the casino for normal play.

t is hard to miss — with the unique brick-front exterior and large windows filled with everything from gourmet cookware to gardening tools, Meanley & Son sits comfortably at 7756 Girard Avenue, as it has for the past 63 years. Bob Meanley, owner of Meanley & Son Ace Hardware continues the tradition his family started decades ago.

Carrying all the classic hardware store inventory one would expect, from tools, cleaning supplies, light bulbs, batteries, glues, fasteners and all the whatjamacallits in between, Meanley & Son also strives to bring La Jollan’s the latest and greatest new products. This year, Meanley’s introduced Mythic Paint — the only truly non-toxic paint on the market.

These remains are often found inside predators’ stomachs. Some of the larger squid can weigh more than 1,000 pounds.

from WEBSITE, B1 “Most of the things [in the program] come from experience,” Bourgeois said. “I’ve been through a bunch of it. Other topics I heard about from friends or parents. It’s all valid information.” Lessons presented on Dynamite Skills are constantly updated thanks to userfeedback and suggestions. Dynamite Skills includes sections on money, insurance, important documents, getting a job, working in the kitchen, cars, safety, planning and scheduling, handling stuff around the house, travel planning, and more. The program also includes diagrams and photographs to make the learning process an interesting experience as much as an informative one. “We want to make it fun so you’re learning while you’re having a little bit of fun,” Bourgeois said.

History buffs invited to meeting for docents

Testimonials about Dynamite Skills “my girlfriend and I had to change a tire and got help from the site and put the guys in the parking lot to shame.” — Mariah

“Separate laundry before washing? Who knew. Does seem to work better though.” — a.J. For a one-time $45 fee, Dynamite Skills users can access unlimited topics for as long as they wish. The program is open to anyone, though targeted to accompany the college-aged crowd through a tough transitional period. Bourgeois and Drozda worked with counselors, high school and college advisors to develop and promote Dynamite Skills. The duo has also come up with a fundraising plan for high school organizations and

clubs to sponsor the program for students. Their hope is to eventually bring Dynamite Skills into high schools and colleges across the country. “Every kid needs it,” Bourgeois said. “The first week of college was stressful, and I was still so ahead of everyone else. It’s just crazy. I really think every kid needs to look into Dynamite Skills and see it because it has practical tips on the topics that really get you through your life on your own.”

The La Jolla Historical Society will host an open house for potential docents from 10:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 1, at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. Anyone interested in joining the docent program to staff exhibits or lead walking tours is welcome to attend, along with those already part of the program. Docents learn and share aspects of La Jolla history with the community and participate in the Society’s growing calendar of events. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, send an e-mail to Carol Olten at colten@lajollahistory.org

Museum-hopping free for children through October The San Diego Museum Council will follow the lead of the San Diego Zoo and offer free admission in October at 24 museums for children, ages 12 and under, who attend with a paid adult. To participate, families can download a coupon available on the website

sandiegomuseumcouncil.org and present it at participating museums to receive the offer. (The offer is limited to two children per paid adult admission ticket and not including special events or field trips.) Among the La Jolla-area museums, joining the many in Balboa Park, are Birch Aquarium at Scripps, La Jolla Historical Society, Lux Art Institute, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and San Diego Botanic Garden.

Prana Yoga Center to offer free class this Sunday The 3HO Foundation of San Diego will hold a free yoga class from 2:15 to 4:15 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2 at Prana Yoga Center, 1041 Silverado St., La Jolla. Viriam Singh, Kundalini yoga teacher and trainer, will lead the class. Gong master guru Mantra Singh will play the gong. Guru Amrit and Michael Kolasa will perform music. Guests should wear loose clothing, bring a yoga mat or blanket, and wait 2-3 hours after eating before practicing yoga. http://sd3ho.org

Religion & spirituality Spotlight...

Rev. Raymond G. “Jerry” O’Donnell, Pastor We believe that All Hallows is much more than simply a place to worship once a week. It is also a center for learning, teaching, sharing faith experiences, and for giving and receiving that strength that we all need for our life-long journey with God. We are those servants mentioned by Jesus (Matthew 25:1430). Each of us have been richly gifted, but these gifts must be invested wisely and generously to help others, according to the principles of good Christian Stewardship. Know that you are most welcome at All Hallows. We hope that you will find your faith home here in our community. May God bless you.

www.lajollalight.com FROM 10 questions, B1 What brought you to La Jolla? The first time, in 1970, I was a second grader and the move was mandated by my parents when my father took on a CEO assignment for a local data storage company, Cipher Data Products. The second time, in 1990, was my choice — a choice driven by the region’s growing entrepreneurial community, solid academic research institutions, and La Jolla’s unique environment. What makes this area special to you? The venue and people! La Jolla is blessed with wonderful weather and an exceptional marine environment. That combination has attracted many interesting people from across the globe, creating fascinating clusters in the marine sciences, life sciences, academia, entrepreneurial sector, and of course the surfing community! If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? My biggest pet peeve is when visitors to local beaches leave unsightly traces of their visit, whether trash, graffiti, or human waste. If everyone made an effort to cover his or her own tracks, our greatest local natural resource will be preserved for future generations. Who inspires you? My parents have been a profound inspiration in my life. My father instilled a love of entrepreneurship and innovation that has led to my 20-year career with Silicon Valley Bank supporting the innovation sector worldwide. My mother provided an exceptional example of the importance of eleemosynary engagement, inspiring my co-founding of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center Luau & Longboard Invitational nearly 20 years ago. Together, my parents demonstrated the durable importance of family, friends, and transitory nature of wealth and possessions. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Before we get to the guest list, I’d want to secure

LA JOLLA LIGHT - SEPTEMBER 29, 2011 - Page B7

Tapenade and Giuseppe to tag team on catering. That would be complimented by Shari and Garen Staglin covering the wine list! As far as a guest list goes, I think William Shackleton would add incredible perspective on leadership and motivation gained through his ill-fated expedition to Antarctica where his ship was sunk and yet not a single crewmember was lost. Tenzing Norgay, who led Sir Edmund Hilary up the first ascent of Everest, would also provide compelling perspective on leadership and mountaineering. To cover insights on entrepreneurship and innovation, I’d invite Craig Venter and Tom Perkins. Both are pioneers and big thinkers in the innovation economy. I think Milton Friedman would be good to round out the business discussion. I would also include Malin Burnham. Not only to share his stories from the disastrous FastNet race and perspective on community leadership, but also to share his Seven Principals for instilling leadership in our youth. Mother Teresa would also add unique perspective on leadership as well as provide inspiration to focus our leadership capabilities in helping others. I think Chrissie Wellington would add an amazing smile and an incredible perspective on goal orientation

that enabled her to shatter a world record that stood for 17 years at Kona’s 140.6-mile IronMan triathlon in 2009. And Angelina Jolie, just in case anyone was taking this discussion too seriously… Did I get the count wrong? Sorry, that is an incorrigible genetic disposition. What are your favorite books of all time? “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez — I read this before my first trip to the Andes and it was magical; “Let the Sea Make a Noise,” by Walter McDougal — McDougal was my history prof at Cal, this is an amazing history of the Pacific Rim written in fictional style; “Guns Germs and Steel,” by Jared Diamond — this is a great summary of the history of mankind! “The Innovator’s Dilemma,” by Clayton Christensen — great lesson on the importance of innovation and challenges presented by same. Fun recent reads include “Born to Run” by Christopher McDougall and “The Wave, In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean,” by Susan Casey. What is your mostprized possession? One marriage certificate and three birth certificates.

What do you do for fun? While I love to do anything aquatic with the family (including beaching, surfing, or sailing) my adrenaline addiction can only be satiated by kitesurfing, and that endeavor tends to exclude family (given my children’s current ages). I am fortunate that my work takes me to some of the windiest spots on Earth! Describe your greatest accomplishment. While I have been fortunate to have enjoyed a series of epic adventures with family, friends, and colleagues that range from building a successful business franchise supporting world class innovative companies at Silicon Valley Bank, co-founding UCSD Moores Cancer Center’s Luau & Longboard Invitational (which has become a world renowned event), crossing oceans, and scaling high altitude peaks, I think my most important opus is a work in progress — instilling positive core values and a passion for success in Bella, William, and Weston. This represents the most important project in my life. And my wife Gabriele is my most trusted partner in this work in process! What is your motto in life? Never give up.

Crab Catcher nets patrons fresh seafood, Cove views On The

By DANIEL K. LEW ith a 30-plus year track record, Crab Catcher restaurant has found its ingredients for success: Fresh seafood, generous serving portions, and a seaside location that’s tough to beat — perched right on the edge of the cliffs overlooking La Jolla Cove. “Not only are we a very local, family owned-and-operated restaurant, we buy local and have very special connections with local fishermen and divers,” said proprietor Jerry Burwell, who is proud to say he, his family and staff are mostly graduates of La Jolla High School. Burwell, along with his wife Jeani who handles the restaurant’s marketing and interior design, have developed Crab Catcher into a 3-in-1 establishment: The main restaurant with indoor-andalfresco dining areas with panoramic Cove views, an adjacent Oyster/Sushi Bar, and a Crab Catcher Market Cafe, which is both a deli and gift shop. The Crab Catcher family affair also includes sons Jon Burwell as executive chef and Justin Burwell as assistant manager. Longtime patrons come to Crab Catcher for seafood, where “fresh is the best,” Jon said.

Cioppino: Dutch Harbor king crab claw, Nova Scotia sea scallops, Belizean head-on prawn, Wild Mexican shrimp, Wild salmon, Carlsbad black mussels, Manila clams, Fiji tomb (wildcaught albacore), Fiji yellowfin tuna and Baja white sea bass in shrimp-based stock with tomato, saffron, chipotle broth.

The popular and romantic Table 7 is located in its own private nook with a direct view into Sunny Jim Cave. Photos by Daniel K. lew During lobster season and other times of the year, it’s common for Jon to meet fisherman at the docks as they return with the latest catch. “Within hours, something that was just swimming in the ocean could be served at your table,” Jon said. Jerry and Jon are also proud to mention the menu’s daily updated insert — what they call a “Fresh and Live Seafood Orgins” list so customers are kept in-theknow. Jerry and Jon know what seafood they like for the right season and where to get it — from boat captains around the globe to

specific aqua farms. “We’re very specific about where we get our seafood and produce,” said Jerry, who adds their local, organic produce also comes from farm owners they personally know within San Diego County. Crab Catcher’s menu selection is filled with enough seafood choices, and surf-and-turf combinations to satisfy the pickiest customer. But the giant Bering Sea Red King Crab reigns supreme. It’s available for its legs — or whole at a hefty 5 to 8 pounds enough for a table of seafood lovers to share.

Ravi Shankar, 91, will perform at California Center for the Arts By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt At 91, legendary sitarist Ravi Shankar is still going strong. The man George Harrison called “The Godfather of World Music” is touring California this month, giving concerts at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco and Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles, culminating with a performance at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido on Sunday, Oct. 9. Though he divides his time between India and California, living in Encinitas part of the year since the early 1990s, it has been four years since his last concert here, and his upcoming appearance is sure to draw legions of fans. Shankar has spent most of his life introducing the music of his country to the rest of the world. In 1985, the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), one of 14 institutions that have granted him honorary doctorates, hailed him as an “adored musical ambassador whose incomparable artistry has created bridges of understanding among the peoples of the Earth.” He has been performing, composing, teaching and touring for almost 75 years. One of his longtime students is his 29-year-old daughter, Anoushka, a graduate of San Dieguito Academy who continues his legacy

with her own sitar-playing, recording, and touring. Another daughter, born and raised in Brooklyn, is pop/jazz singer/songwriter star Norah Jones. Shankar’s contributions to world music have been extraordinary. Besides being part of Monterey Pop and Woodstock, he has performed with and composed for Yehudi Menuhin, Jean-Pierre Rampal, and Philip Glass, as well as several lesser-known but equally gifted musicians of Japan. He has recorded extensively in various countries, written scores for films as diverse as “Charly” and “Gandhi,” and created three con-

certos for sitar and orchestra, the most recent one completed in 2008. The Escondido concert is a grand co-production of the Indian Fine Arts Academy of San Diego (IFAASD), which offers concerts by masters of Indian classical music and dance; the Center for World Music, which fosters understanding of the performing arts and cultural traditions of other countries; and, primarily, the Ravi Shankar Foundation, a resource center for Indian classical music, including, of course, the works of the maestro himself. He will be accompanied by a quartet of accomplished musicians who frequently perform with him:

Tanmoy Bose on tabla, Samir Chatterjee on percussion, Ravichandra Kulur on flute, and on sitar, Parimal Sadaphal, one of the maestro’s senior disciples from Delhi. “Though Raviji was the inspiration for founding our organization, this is the first time we’re producing him, and it’s very exciting,” said Divya Devaguptapu, a member of the IFAASD board. “We produce concerts by high-caliber touring artists every fall and spring, but it’s really a great honor to be presenting Ravi Shankar.” Shankar recently played to soldout houses in the United Kingdom, and Devaguptapu is predicting a sell-out crowd here. “After all, he is 91,” she said.

‘The Rocky Horror Show’ dares Globe audiences not to laugh

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger Richard O’Brien’s “The Rocky Horror Show” now at The Old Globe Theater, is witty, fun, outlandish and a little bit naughty. The screams to “be who you are,” will shock a few, won’t disappoint its fans, and may make some new ones as well. Devotees from way back

are immediately drawn in as the show opens when Usherette (Laura Shoop, “Run For Your Wife”) and Usher (Jason Wooten, “Hair”) sashay down the aisles singing “Science Fiction Double Feature.” Newbies will have no clue what they’re singing about, as the words of the song are inaudible. But those who know the show don’t care as they begin to clap and sing along, and others will understand from the film-clip background that it’s about science fiction movies. What starts out innocent enough quickly enters the “not for the prudish” arena. Brad (Kelsey Kurz, Broadway’s “The Merchant of Venice”)

surprised to find themselves captors of Frank ‘N’ Furter (Matt McGrath, “Cabaret”) a crazed transvestite obsessed by science fiction. After a few tunes where Brad and Janet try to figure out how to get out of this place, some of Frank’s zombie-acting sex fiends jump into Rocky Horrors’ theme song, “The Time Warp.” The audience comes alive, following the directions of the Narrator (David Andrew MacDonald) to, “jump to the left, a step to the right, hands on your hips,” etc. After the dancing comes the frolic as Frank decides to have his way with his guests beckoning them up to his lab. He has a surprise for both Brad and Janet, who think they are with each other in the dark only to find out later they were not. This is done in silhouette, but is still quite graphic. The theme of the show clearly exposed, it’s nevertheless hilarious, and the fact that the empty seats after intermission could be counted on one hand, says the Globe audience was OK with it. Look for many standout performances. McGrath is in command of his character sliding from sexy tempter to whining loser, and at times, too boastful about finding the secret of life. His vocal

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court.

Teachers and parents meet to greet new school year

a Jolla Cove Suites’ rooftop patio set the scenic scene for La Jolla Elementary School’s Parent/Staff Sunset Cocktail Party on Sept. 22, which doubled as a fundraiser for the school. Guests bid on silent auction items, sampled cocktails and appetizers provided by The Abbey Catering Company, and mingled over discussions about the upcoming school year. Tickets were $35 per person toward the Annual Giving Campaign to raise $100,000 for additional teachers, art supplies, choral music, tech equipment, a librarian, math books and instructional supplies.

Guitarist Greg Feldman plays favorites.
