Local retail markets face own challenges By JoE taSh Positive signs are evident in both the La Jolla and Del Mar central business districts, although the two villages are still feeling the effects of the 2008 recession. In La Jolla, the vacancy rate among restaurant, office and retail buildings is down from a year ago, said veteran commercial brokers familiar with the village, although advertisements for vacancies still adorn windows on many blocks. Meanwhile, to the north in Del Mar, sales tax revenue is up — as it is in La Jolla — and occupancy of retail storefronts appears to be relatively stable.

Adagio-Ballet Series
Thursday, September 15th Artist Bio
John Asaro’s recent paintings capture the life force behind dance, his main focus of the series 100 Dancers. With brilliant fauve colors, his admiration for dancers and their dedication is reflected in his own dedication to capturing the lines and forms of the graceful ballerinas. He follows them from classroom to stage in various poses of relaxation, performance, contemplation, and even the pain that comes with such passion. On stage or in the classroom, the costumes and lighting are constantly shifting, creating delicate tension between the artists and their environment. Always listening to the orchestral arrangements as he paints, Asaro’s inspired works are imbued with music. He occasionally finds himself of the same ilk, and dances around his studio, paintbrush in hand with his patient cat as a partner. It’s easy to give yourself up to the captivating essence of dance; John Asaro certainly has.
On Aug. 19, a teacher leads the Bishop’s School’s new ninth graders at the annual Matriculation Ceremony where new students are welcomed into the Bishop’s Community. CoURtESY

Gold medallion tree makes La Jolla seem sunny Recently, upon my return from the sunny Caribbean, where I was doing fieldwork with sea turtles all summer long, we had at least a week of pure gray skies and cool temperatures. And from what I hear and what I’ve experiBy Kelly Stewart enced since being home, La Jolla has not had much of a summer to speak of, with the marine layer providing us with several cool and overcast days — or mornings at least. However, I was struck by the glorious color presented by a certain tree that I saw along streets in La Jolla, one that made the village appear much more sunny than it was. The gold medallion tree, Cassia leptophylla, is a graceful and delicately leafy tree, with spikes of bright yellow blooms that last all summer long. The Cassia blooms attract butterflies and other insects and the seedpods set from flowers pollinated by these insects. Being in the legume family, the gold medallion tree produces impressive seedpods that look like giant pea pods hanging down from the tree branches during the fall. Originally from Brazil, where the trees thrive in disturbed areas and along the edge of forests, the tree is a popular choice for planting along boulevards throughout towns in California. If we can’t have sunny days, at least we can have sunny trees!

White blood cells promote growth, spread of cancer Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shown a direct role by a type of white blood cell in the development and spread of cancerous tumors. The work focused on neutrophils, bone marrowderived cells that function as “first responders” in By Lynne Friedmann acute inflammation. Neutrophils promote the growth of new blood vessels in healthy tissue, however, in cancer patients a link was suspected between elevated neutrophil levels and high rates of tumor invasion.
research report
tune-in ...to The Financial Advisors Radio Series Every Saturday at 8am On AM 600 KOGO
TSRI scientists alternately raised and lowered the quantity of neutrophils flowing into two different kinds of early-stage tumors transplanted into chicken embryos and mice. In addition, several different versions of an enzyme, linked to tumor development, were introduced. Researchers established that the enzyme delivered by neutrophils was directly responsible for heightened growth of new blood vessels in the tumors. Just as important, the newly formed blood vessels served as “escape routes” for the spread of tumor cells. Findings appear in the American Journal of Pathology. News release at http://bit.ly/nhHDRZ.
Synchronizing biological clocks Biologists have long known that organisms from bacteria to humans use the 24-hour cycle of light and darkness to set their biological clocks. But exactly how these clocks are synchronized at the molecular level is less well understood. To better understand the process, biologists and bioengineers at UC San Diego combined techniques from synthetic biology, microfluidic technology, and computational modeling to build a microfluidic chip with a series of chambers containing populations of E. coli bacteria. Within each bacterium, the genetic machinery responsible for the biological clock oscillations was tied to a green fluorescent protein. The bacteria glowed and blinked whenever a chemical, that triggered the clock mechanisms of the bacteria, was flushed through the microfluidic
chip. In this way, scientists could simulate day-and-night cycles in mere minutes instead of days. This simple circadian system enabled researchers for the first time to describe mathematically how cells synchronize their biological clocks. Findings appear in the journal Science. News release at http://bit.ly/o8H4j7. Slowing MS Researchers at the UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences report that inhibiting immune cells from using fatty acids as fuel slows disease progression in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is an autoimmune disease resulting from damage to the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects nerve cells. When the sheath is damaged, nerve impulses are slowed or halted, resulting in progressive physical and neurological disabilities. The cause is inflammation when the body’s immune cells attack the central nervous system (CNS). Researchers looked at how immune cells in the CNS oxidize fatty acids for energy. Inhibiting a single enzyme that helps immune cells exploit fatty acids was shown to starve and kill target cells, preventing further inflammatory damage. Findings appear in the journal Scientific Reports. News release at http://bit.ly/oCNzz2. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

Can Color Cost you a Sale? Take care when choosing colors for your home; you might be sending the wrong message to potential buyers. Color can change how you feel; it has an instantaneous effect. A company called Colour Affects, based in London offers insights into the psychological influence of color on human responses and behaviors. RED: A powerful color that grabs a person’s attention. It can even raise a pulse rate. You might want to use this color to draw buyer’s eyes to a selling feature like red flowers on your granite countertops. BLUE: A soothing color tends to surface as the world’s favorite color. They suggest using a soft blue in a bedroom to show a calming retreat. YELLow: It can lift your spirits and is known as the color of confidence and optimism but too much yellow has been found to make people feel emotionally fragile. They suggest use of this color to liven up a family room or hallway. GREEN: Is known as the color of balance. Most people are reassured by green. Shades of more neutral green can give a restful, harmony in bedrooms. Also green plants have been shown to give buyers a reassured feeling that this is the right home for them. whitE: Can communicate clean and hygienic. White can give a heightened perception of space for small areas. They suggest off white colors as Antique White or Navajo so that your home does not send a “don’t touch me” message. Knowing the responses colors evoke offers insight into where and when you might use them to appeal to buyers.

Shores development appeal discussion promps a walkout By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Developers Bob and Kim Whitney walked out of the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA’s) Sept. 1 meeting in protest when the group’s leaders failed to file an appeal of another controversial project in La Jolla Shores. The lack of action came despite trustees’ direction at their Aug. 4 meeting. “That’s why we’re doing what we’re doing,” said the couple before departing, referencing a lawsuit they filed in July against the LJCPA . The planning group has twice appealed the Whitney’s project in the Shores’ business district. The couple, who want to build a retail/condo building at the corner of Avenida de la Playa and Paseo Grande, allege the LJCPA illegally filed a governmental appeal of their project dated Jan. 27, 2011 following “a secret vote by several trustees in violation of the Brown Act,” according to the suit. Some trustees also asked why no appeal was filed on the 1912 Spindrift project, where parking requirements were in dispute. Later, after the Whitneys left, one possible explanation surfaced that there was a breakdown in communications. Tony Crisafi, the new president of the planning group, is the architect on the Spindrift project and would be the one expected to file the appeal, but he had left the room during discussions of the project. “We found a way to attach a garage, and we’re going to use a stacking lift system to satisfy the street-parking requirement,” said attorney Matt Peterson representing the homeowners. The proposal was subsequently endorsed by LJCPA trustees, resolving issues raised in discussing the appeal at the previous meeting. The Whitneys said Monday the compromise was reached without the knowledge of the full board. They called the action another violation of the Brown Act by the group. If the LJCPA had properly appealed the Spindrift project, the trustees would have had the option at the Sept. 1 meeting to not only endorse the redesign presented by Peterson but also to withdraw the appeal. Under the city’s rules even if the appeal is withdrawn, the applicant and city staff would have still had to proceed with the time and cost of preparing for the Planning Commission hearing. In the Whitney’s case, the project has been delayed at least a year, costing them money in city, consultant and legal fees. Later, the group’s policy on filing appeals was also a topic on that night’s agenda. Trustee Devin Burstein, head of an LJCPA ad hoc committee reviewing group policies and procedures, said one of four recommended changes would continue to allow for automatic appeals of development projects the group opposes but seeks to work with the city and applicants to bring consideration of appeals to the trustees for a formal vote.

in the city. Longer term, said Ridberg, 9/11 “changed the way we understand our relationship with the world around us.” “I would hope that our sense of vulnerability that we found that day might better help us identify with so many other places in the
world that encounter that kind of vulnerability all the time,” she said. “Sept. 11 wasn’t the first awful nightmare that human beings have inflicted upon other human beings, and certainly hasn’t been the last one since.”

LA JOLLA LIGHT - SEPTEMBER 8, 2011- Page a9
FROM 9/11, A8 If there’s a lesson to be learned from the tragedy, Rabbi Ridberg said, “It’s the sense of how fleeting life is, and how important it is to treat people with love, respect and kindness to bring about justice and peace in the world so everyone can live without fear of their lives.” n Deborah Borza Deborah Borza, now residing on the East Coast, is the mother of Deora Bodley, a La Jolla Country Day grad who attended Santa Clara University and was one of the heroes of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania killing all 40 crew and passengers Deora aboard that Bodley day. “I’ve been involved the past eight years in the effort to build the Flight 93 National Memorial,” she said. The first phase of the memorial designed by Paul Murdoch Architects will be dedicated this Sunday. The
first phase includes an arrival court and a memorial plaza adjacent to the plane’s impact site — known as the Field of Honor, which will remain off limits. Later Deborah phases inBorza clude large memorial walls, a visitor center and, eventually, a 93foot tall “Tower of Voices” featuring 40 wind chimes. “I’ve been spending my time there for a few years,” she said, adding she’s been touched by people asking to memorialize her daughter in a very personal way. “I’ve had a couple of gals approach me wanting to name their daughters Deora,” she said of the name which is Gaelic for cheers. ”There are four or five girls out there with the middle name of Deora now: That’s very precious.” La Jolla Country Day School has honored Deora by renaming a school award “The Deora Bodley Alumni Award of Service.” “I go back the end of May every year to give the award
to a graduating senior boy and girl,” Borza said, adding “It’s taken a lot of courage and a lot of love” to carry on with her life. n Michael Provence Before 9/11, UCSD historian Michael Provence was a doctoral student writing a dissertation (later a book) on French Colonial rule in 1920s Syria and worried about keeping his job teaching Middle Eastern history (one of only a handful) in the country. Immediately afterwards, he was much sought after by the media as an authoritative spokesman. “The news was all about 9/11 and it was all news, no regular programming Michael for 24/7 and Provence I was interviewed by Texaswide cable asking me about the similarities to Pearl Harbor and things like that, and for the next three years I was in the press spotlight,” he said. The tragedy, he noted, “increased the visibility of the
television and radio. He said the defense budget expenditures for a one-year period during the 2003-2008 Iraq War could have supported all 10 campuses in the UC system for 52 years. “That would have been a better investment,” he said.

fects on foreign policy and huge expenditures of money on foreign wars.” Ten years later, Provence has given 120 public lectures on the Middle East, as well as logging a great deal of time being interviewed on
n Tim Swanson San Diego firefighter Tim Swanson was just a teen when 9/11 occurred, but a decade later his metalworking skills have allowed him to construct a permanent 9/11 memorial. Fashioned from steel from the Twin Towers in New York, including two aluminum columns, the monument will be officially unveiled Sept. 9 at Swanson’s duty station, Fire Station 21 in Pacific Beach at 750 Grand Ave. “Station 21 has the most foot traffic and is where it’s going to get the most exposure,” said Swanson about why the beach was selected over downtown as the memorial’s site. Swanson left the steel I-beam remnant from the Twin Towers unaltered.

$2.25 to $2.75 from Kline to Torrey Pines Road, Wise said.
FROM Retail, a1 Interviews with business leaders, brokers, property owners and city officials paint a picture of two central business districts whose prospects appear to be improving, even as each faces unique challenges on the road to economic growth. “I’m very optimistic. Just in the last four or five months, activity has really picked up. What’s happening is people are repositioning themselves for the future, and optimistic that things are going to get better and the worst is behind,” said Mike Slattery, a commercial broker with Cassidy Turley BRE Commercial, who specializes in the La Jolla Village market.
Panera Bread recently opened on the corner of Wall Street and Girard avenue. KATHY DAY
More than meets the eye Slattery said appearances can be deceiving when it comes to the economic health of the Village For example, he said, some properties have been leased, but the retail or office businesses have not opened yet for a variety of reasons. He said he is encouraged by the number of contacts he receives from businesses wanting to locate in La Jolla and the relatively small number of vacancies available to them. “La Jolla is still in my opinion a very strong and viable market,” Slattery said. Phil Wise, senior vice president with Colliers International, produces a quarterly report on vacancies in La Jolla’s downtown area. “The vacancies have gone down quite a bit — the market’s good,” said Wise. As of the second quarter of 2011, which ended June 30, the total retail square footage in the Village was 1,375,642, with a total vacancy of 98,963 square feet, or 7.19 percent.
New in La Jolla Among recent additions to the La Jolla restaurant and retail scene are the Eddie V’s restaurant on Prospect Street and Panera Bread at Girard Avenue and Wall Street, in the building that formerly housed Jack’s restaurant. The majority of the Jack’s building, where a replacement nightclub and restaurant had been planned, still stands vacant, however. Around the corner from Panera, on Herschel Avenue, a major restaurant has signed a lease for a building that has stood vacant for 30 years, said Wise. The building on Herschel Avenue near Wall Street was owned by the late Helen Smith. Wise would not identify the restaurant, but various media reports, including one on Monday in the Union-Tribune confirm that it will be operated by Brian Malarkey — a Top Chef star who formerly owned Oceanaire — and Jim Brennan. The pair owns Searsucker downtown and recently opened Burlap in the Del Mar
Highlands Town Center. Their new restaurant, set to open in the spring, will focus on seafood and be called Herringbone. And there are other good signs in the market with Westime, a Beverly Hills-based store that touts its focus on “extraordinary watches,” is set to open soon on Prospect St; Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria has leased the long-vacant site that was home to Panini’s and IHOP; and WeOlive has met with a warm welcome. Although vacancies are declining, rents remain below their peak in 2007-08, said Wise. He estimated that rents along Prospect Street, the Village’s main tourist corridor, are in the range of $4 to $6 per square foot per month, with some exceptions. In addition to their base rent, retail tenants also pay “triple net,” which covers such expenses as taxes, insurance and commonarea maintenance. Rents along Girard Avenue, range from $4.75 to $6 per square foot up to Silverado, to about
Still a ways to go La Jolla still has its work cut out for it, according to Phil Coller, president of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, which formed earlier this year. The group represents 1,250 businesses in the Village and administers some $150,000 collected in fees each year through the La Jolla business improvement district. The association recently received information from the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau that among similar upscale communities around the United States, La Jolla has recovered more slowly from the recession than other areas, Coller said. “They all suffered the same and all recovered faster, except us,” said Coller, who owns Everett Stunz linens and bedding with his wife Nicki. One challenge facing La Jolla, said Coller, is the appearance of the Village area. City of San Diego budget cuts have meant trees are no longer trimmed regularly, and many of the Village’s streetlights no longer work, although some slow progress is being made on that front. Potholes have gone unfilled and cracks in curbs and sidewalks have not been repaired. Coller said he receives complaints about the village’s appearance from residents and merchants, and has been told visitors to La Jolla hotels have written similar comments in the hotels’ guestbooks. Time for beautification “The most important and immediate thing is to upgrade the infrastructure and beautify the Village,” Coller said.

Personalized financing is available. Del Mar’s retail village is getting ready for a revitalization plan. FROM Retail, a10 bob Collins, whose family owns the best Western Inn by the Sea on Fay Avenue, and also a restaurant space that fronts on prospect and other properties in the village, said overall, the market has been stable over the past year or two. He said, however, that it does take more time to locate tenants than earlier in the decade, more time is lost to vacancy and more concessions must be made by landlords. “It’s a beautiful place. It’s a place everybody wants to come back to or live in. I think that will sustain it well as the years go by,” Collins said. One thing that detracts from the Village’s appearance, he said, is the proliferation of sandwich-board signs. “We look a little rag-tag because we have all these illegal signs all over the place,” Collins said. Lincoln Foster, president of A-440 enterprises, Inc., which owns property on prospect, had three suggestions for improving the Village retail scene: establishment of a “branded” hotel such as a Hilton or Sheraton; establishment of well-known, branded restaurants; and both live theater and movies in the downtown area. “Carefully crafted, the economics could work” for a movie theater, he said, and such businesses would bring in traffic to the downtown area at night.
COURTESY
Del Mar pushes revitalization With a central business district much smaller than its neighbor to the south — and a greater ability to control its destiny because it is an incorporated city — Del mar is also working to improve its business prospects. The City Council recently voted to move ahead with creating a specific plan to guide the revitalization of the downtown business core, a six-block stretch which runs from 9th to 15th streets along Camino Del mar. The plan must be approved by a public vote before it can be adopted. Del mar officials want to create a walkable village where visitors could park their car once and reach restaurants and shops on foot. Their plan is not as much about repairing streets and sidwalks as it is about changing how shoppers see and act in the retail neighborhood. While Del mar has suffered effects of the recession, currently there are few vacant storefronts, although there are more vacancies for office space, said Jen Grove, executive director of the Del mar Village Association. “This is not the year I’ve seen a ton of change — there hasn’t been a huge turnover,” Grove said. “I’m seeing reinvestment and people trying to get their buildings up to par, and I hope that will continue.”

Firefighter Tim Swanson and part of the 9/11 memorial he built. FROM 9/11, A9 “It’s just mounted on a black concrete base,” he said. Beside it are two, 4-foot-tall aluminum towers resembling the World Trade Center etched with the names of all the public safety people lost in the attack as a tribute. Noting the formal unveiling of his memorial will include “a few guys from New York,” Swanson said the memorial would be “a nice way to remember that loss.” n Michael and Jennifer Spengler That September day was not only lifechanging but career-changing for La Jollan Michael Spengler.

waiting to take off for New York when the towers were destroyed. “The tragedy of 9/11 brought Michael and I to the realization that we wanted to live our lives to the fullest when so many had needlessly lost their lives,” his wife Jennifer, who runs a public relations business, wrote in a note to the Light. “A talented photographer, Michael had dreamt for years that he would one day turn his passion into a career, and I had dreamt of having Michael at home more to enjoy our children. This turn of events served as the catalyst we needed to follow our dream.” Shortly thereafter, he gave notice at his job, they sold their luxury cars and house in the hills of La Jolla (although they have

FROM Sing, A1 respect by standing up and taking off their hats. She has always been moved by the words and the story behind the song. She hoped someday to sing The National Anthem at a Padres Game. Her dream will become a reality on Sept. 28 — Closing Day — when the Padres play the Chicago Cubs at Petco Park at 5:35 p.m. Vaill auditioned to sing the National Anthem back in June and didn’t hear anything for about three weeks. She thought she didn’t get it and thought she’d try again next year. Then she got a call from the Padres saying they would love to have her sing and would she like to perform at closing day? “I was so excited I could not believe it was real,” Vaill said. “It took me a while to believe it and when I saw the official e-mail inviting me to sing I believed it. I will be singing the traditional version a cappella from the field.” The La Jolla High student plans to keep singing, is teaching herself to play the guitar, and attends weekly voice and piano lessons. She also writes her own music and composes original songs. She is a member of The La Jolla High Madrigals and recently traveled to San Francisco to perform and be judged. She and male vocalist Trevor Menders were selected by their teacher Mrs. Henderson to sing the solos in the song, “Fields of Gold.” The choir got an “excellent “ rating on their performance. She also won the award for “best soprano,” voted on by her peers last year.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Worldview Travel offers unique services By Kelley Carlson Contributor Step into a Worldview Travel office, and an employee will make sure you feel right at home. “Their job is to welcome you as if you came to their house and you sit down with a nice cup of coffee,” company founder Ricci Zuckerman said. ricci Established Zuckerman in 1974, Worldview is a “very hands-on, personal” agency that assists customers in vacation planning and throughout their trip, according to Zuckerman. The company’s advisers speak 12 languages collectively and are welltraveled; most are destination experts. With Worldview, guests can plan yachting trips to the Panama Canal or Costa Rica, or sail on an elegant, midsize
ship to Alaska that features complimentary room service and country club-casual ambience. The travel possibilities are endless. The agency specializes in servicing corporate accounts, as well — in San Diego, many of these consist of biomedical companies. Worldview consultants ensure that they understand a company’s travel policies and procedures when planning a trip. They can provide professional event, group and conference management services; meet-and-greet services; restaurant and event reservations; upgrade to priority wait lists and clearance; pretrip reconfirmation of air, car and hotel reservations; visa and passport service; and preferred airline seating quality control. In addition, Worldview is a member of the by-invitationonly Virtuoso network, which provides clients with exclusive travel offers and amenities not available to the general public. Zuckerman said that the
agency soon plans to promote multi-generational trips to various vacation destinations. “We do as much as possible to ease the trepidation,” Zuckerman said. “It’s about, how are you, how’s your family ... You can never replace a warm word and a promise.” Worldview’s headquarters is in Santa Ana, but the company has six additional branches in Southern California and two on the East Coast. Three are in San Diego County: La Jolla, which opened 12 years ago; Solana Beach, which was established a year later; and Rancho Santa Fe, which is three years old.

San Diego Musical Theatre keeps audience toes tapping Gary and Erin Lewis Rancho of Santa Fe are the producers and executive directors of San Diego Musical Theatre. They grew up in San Diego where their families enjoyed attending local productions. In 1987, when their daughter began performing, they soon discovered that they wanted to become more involved in the theatrical community and volunteered their services, time and resources. Though they’ve owned and operated a successful business together in San Diego for over 35 years, they decided the time was right to add an exciting new adventure to their life … so in 2006, San Diego Musical Theatre was born! It’s a nonprofit, regional, professional theater, producing Broadway musicals, year round. Past shows include: the San Diego regional premiere of “The Full Monty” and “The Story Of My Life,” “Guys and Dolls,” “Dreamgirls,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Smokey Joe’s Café” and “A Chorus Line.” SDMT is proud of its Boys and Girls Clubs outreach program, where the children from the clubs are invited to

story behind the picture By Michael Morton aia Principal and Designer Marengo Morton Architects, Inc.
The caption should read: “La Jolla shore continues to attract new families from across the countries that choose to live and build their dream homes this premiere beach community.” In your article on Aug. 10, you showed a photograph of the construction of new Gatto Residence. I wanted to share with your readers a more flattering view of the completed home from Kellogg Park. In addition, to inform your readers of the design review process that all new homes are subjected to in La Jolla Shores. This design was presented at eight public hearings and unanimously approved in 2009 by the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee and La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) and a City of San Diego Pubic Hearing. This home has a coastal permit and a building permits based on those approved public permits. It will soon be com-
pleted by noted home builder Wardell Builders. The new home will be a complete family home with all modern amenities as well as a lap pool. Although larger than the original 1956 home, this new home will complement the “new homes” built in La Jolla shores over the past 20 years. Yes the “Shores” is changing, but changing into the “Premier” beach community in Southern California. The La Jolla Shores PDO has served this community well by allowing the property owners the freedom to work within the framework crafted by forward looking planners who wrote it. The current PDO has strong development protection provisions, but, allows unequalled creative design opportunities. This is one reason why so many people are attracted to the shores and its “palm lined streets and sandy shores.” The Gatto home demonstrates what creativity and innovative design can accomplish on a small lot. This young family should be welcomed addition to this community.

La Jolla’s new web site is under construction and is expected to go live in early December. This web site will provide an opportunity for all those who love La Jolla to actively participate and contribute to shaping the future of our community. If you have any pictures or video of the community, insights into its character and stories of the past or ideas for the future, please contact us at info@lajollabythesea. com. Many residents are voicing concerns that our streetscape has deteriorated considerably over the last five years and it is about time someone did something about it. Unfortunately, the City of San Diego has been cutting back on services due to the state of its finances. It is unlikely to do more than emergency fixes or deal with safety issues. Our sidewalks, in some places, are such a safety hazard that people are regularly tripping and falling. A serious injury will occur unless the hazards are fixed. The city needs to be aware that these hazards could lead to laws suits and a larger financial cost. It makes better financial and political sense to proactively fix the problems. Sidewalk curbs are crumbling away in places and the paint for delineating parking restrictions is hardly visible. We recommend that all storefronts be swept clean by the oc-
cupant of the store once a week to aid in cleaning up the sidewalks and then report any dangerous trip hazards or crumbling curbs noticed directly to the city, (619) 236-6611, JMHoover@sandiego.gov and info@lajollabythesea. com. There is good news. Most of the streetlights on Wall and Girard are now working. The last two poles are being connected. A survey is being conducted of all lighting problems and the city is being informed. Concerned citizens are offering donations and time to help with some of the beatification issues; to contribute please contact us at info@lajollabythesea. com. Many retail stores are vacant and our desire is to get them filled with quality merchants as soon as possible. The La Jolla Village Merchant Association is offering to facilitate the formation of a task force made up of Property Owners and Realtors wishing to join together to tackle this problem contact info@lajollabythesea.com. In the meantime the black holes of empty windows staring at out us from the empty spaces can be fixed.

Stop high-speed rail before it hits the tracks Your view By Kevin Knight La Jolla When Californians voted for highspeed rail they were shown unrealistic estimates for construction costs, journey times, fares, ridership and revenues. Lynn Schenk’s article on high-speed rail continues the process of misinformation. She says we need high-speed rail because California prides itself on “innovation.” Sadly, compared to Google, Apple and the many San Diego technology companies that drive California’s economy there is nothing innovative about a 200-year-old inflexible form of transportation that produces basic construction and operating jobs.
Be Heard!
She also says high-speed rail will contribute to clean air because it uses electricity. But why are trains, which use electricity whether full or empty, better than electric cars which will be in common use by the end of the decade? As for her claim that a new rail system takes less land than widening freeways, the reality is she is proposing building brand new travel corridors, which will require massive new feeder infrastructure and result in significant land development. But the main issue, which she ignores, is will anyone use these trains? Who will travel long distances to a new station, built where nobody objects instead of somewhere useful, to ride to another similar station and find some way to get where they want, instead of driving direct? In movies set in Europe, people hop
off a train and walk to their destination, but that isn’t reality even there, where major cities are relatively concentrated, let alone in our sprawling California. And the fact is that railways in Europe are in long-term decline. Every time a new rail line gets built there rail ridership increases briefly, then continues its decline. This is because Europeans are buying more cars and spending more time in them, like us, because cars are more convenient. We have spent the past two years seeing just how much money government can spend on things for absolutely no end result. High-speed rail in California is likely to be more of the same — an underused white elephant, costing taxpayers in perpetuity. It’s time to stop this madness before it goes any further.

The reason for this phenomenon has been attributed to many things, from cell phone tower radiation to global warming to fungi. There is even an unverified quote from Albert Einstein floating around on the Internet: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four years of life left.” Whatever the case, bees swarm seasonally, and it’s a chance for the population to grow — not be killed. Not to mention that the need for bees far outweighs the cautions. Bees pollinate and fertilize plants — and some sources say they are responsible for up to one third of the food we eat. If you encounter a swarm or a honeycomb, opt for bee removal over extermination. Keep those questions coming. E-mail editor@lajollalight.com

La Jolla Country Day’s cross country team ready to shine at state By KaRen Billing La Jolla Country Day’s boys cross country team has unfinished business. Last year, for the fifth year in a row, the team won the CIF, conference and league championships in Division IV, earning them a trip to the California CIF Cross Country State Championships. But it was a frustrating meet — top runner Noah Wolfenzon went down with an injury and they finished 15th. There’s a nagging feeling among them that they didn’t get as far as they could have and a growing confidence that this could be the year they take home a significant trophy. “We want to make a name for ourselves at the state level. This team is by far the most prepared to do that,” said senior Jake Mack. “They’re ready,” said Coach Scott Sanders, LJCD’s cross country coach for the last 13 years. Sanders has overseen 10 championship seasons. “I would love just to see everyone run their best race (at state). And hopefully that means there’s
la Jolla Country Day’s cross country team’s top seven includes David Castillejos, ariel Smotrich, Darin Wong, Jeff Clancy, noah Wolfenzon and Jake Mack. not pictured: J.J. Juarez-Uribe. KAREN BILLING a podium in our future.” The swift squad is ranked fifth in the state, with six guys returning from last year’s run at state championships. This year they aim to improve their state standing and get five guys in the top 10. La Jolla Country Day’s top seven includes seniors Jake and Noah, junior Jeff Clancy, sophomore David Castillejos; junior Ariel Smotrich; Darin Wong; and J.J. Juarez-Uribe.
That number five ranking is a factor of a few things — Darin says it’s perseverance, Ariel says it’s their work ethic and that they “run hard day in and day out.” But it also may be the brotherhood created by running in a pack together for two hours most days. They have their fun sides (believing their post-race horchata has super-human powers and growing rat tails or attempting to grow mus-
taches for race days), but they also push each other. Jake said there have also been two constants in Country Day’s winning ways: the solid values instilled in them by the school and their coach. “Clearly he’s doing something right — in 13 years he’s won more than any other coach,” Jake said. “He brings out the best in us.” “The cross country team has one of the highest GPAs
— if not the highest — in all team sports in the school,” said Noah. “Running is a sport driven by self-motivation, which is just like school. You’re the only one making you run, the same with working hard in class. We’re all willing to put in the work.” A testament to the group’s drive is how their goal times keep shifting down in a good way. In the past years, Sanders would be happy if a runner could break 18 minutes in their 3-mile race. Last year, several runners broke 17 minutes and now expectations are for sub 16-minute races. “This is such a terrific, easy group to work with,” Sanders said. “They work hard, get along so well and listen to instruction. They respect their team captains (Jake and Noah) who know what to do and how to get things done in the most effective way.” On their own, the team organized summer workouts to prep for the upcoming season. Since July 4, they’ve been running optional training sessions that each runner has accepted as manda-
FROM Retail, a11 Investing for the future Between June 2010 and May 2011, businesses in the Del Mar village have invested $6 million into their properties, said Grove. Another project, the conversion of the Stratford Inn at the south of the village into an Indigo Hotel and restaurant, is expected to begin in September at a cost of $6.6 million. David Winkler, whose company developed Del Mar Plaza shopping center and later sold it, owns three buildings on the block south of 15th Street. He said the buildings have remained fully occupied through the recession. The retail real estate market seems a bit stronger this year, Winkler said, but he expects the recovery to be slow and gradual. The highest rents in Del Mar’s central business district are at the north end, near 15th Street, he said, and rents decline for properties to the south. According to Winkler, monthly retail rents in Del Mar range from up to $10 per square foot at the Plaza near 15th Street, to between $2.50 and $4 per square foot at the south end of the central district near 9th Street. Also added to the rents are costs for taxes, insurance and common-area maintenance. Rental rates are affected by location, tenant improvement allowances, free rent and other elements negotiated between landlords and tenants, Winkler said. Del Mar’s central village includes 291,000 square feet of commercial space, including
tory to reach their high goals. “I know the work they’ve done this summer has gotten them ready for this season,” said Sanders. “It’s clear that Darin (the youngest of the top seven) has been working this summer to make varsity. He’s gunning for that spot.” The boys’ favorite spot to run was the Los Penasquitos Canyon, washed down with burritos at Nico’s Taco Shop in Piazza Carmel. They’d also hit Mission Bay Park, logging heavy mileage and staying off concrete to save their knees and ankles. Jake estimates they ran up to 50 miles most weeks over the summer. Cross country is a long season, from summer through late November — long months of tired, thirsty and hungry miles. The boys will tackle their first race this Saturday, Sept. 10, at the Bronco Round-Up at Rancho Bernardo High. The team’s favorite course is Mt. Sac, which they will race in October. “I love the down hills,” gushed David. “You fly,” remarked Ariel.
office, retail, restaurant and personal services, said Kathy Garcia, Del Mar’s planning and community development director. The figure does not include Del Mar Plaza, which has about 69,000 square feet of retail space, or the L’Auberge resort. Vacancy rates were not available. The city’s sales tax revenue was up 11.9 percent — to $1.481 million — for the year that ended June 30, compared with the year before, said Garcia, with restaurants and miscellaneous retail showing the largest gains. Sales tax generated by businesses within the La Jolla Business Improvement District, which roughly conforms with the village area, totaled $2,613,840 for the fiscal year that ended June 30, according to figures provided by San Diego Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office. That was up from the previous year, when sales tax revenue for the village totaled $2,384,619. Del Mar will never match La Jolla or San Diego’s Seaport Village in the size and scale of their retail offerings, and that is not the city’s goal, said Garcia. Rather, Del Mar wants to revitalize its downtown village to serve both residents and visitors. “I’m hoping the interest in our restaurants and the fact they’ve been successful will start to spark more retail to want to be co-located and play off that synergy,” Garcia said. “By the very nature of the size of our properties, they are going to stay small, we won’t have 20,000- or 50,000-square-foot retail buildings — they just don’t fit.”

The Torreys topped Tri-City Christian, 23-12, thanks to 16 unanswered fourth-quarter points. Up next for the Torreys is a home game versus Calipatria on Friday. For the La Jolla High Vikings, their season opener didn’t go as planned as the Vikings lost to Mt. Carmel, 27-7. One positive note for the Vikings was their defense, which forced three turnovers on the game. LJHS will play West Hills in Santee on Friday night.

La Jolla Lacrosse Club to host fall youth clinics La Jolla Lacrosse Club, in conjunction with Mad Dog Lacrosse, is continuing to increase the awareness of the game of lacrosse in La Jolla this fall by offering clinics for boys from kindergarten to 12th grade. The Sunday afternoon clinics run from Sept. 11 through Nov. 20 at La Jolla High School. The first two dates will be practice sessions, which will focus on skills and fundamentals of the game. The following nine sessions will include a half-hour practice session and a one-hour game session. The games will either be intra-squad games with hands-on coaching or against other local clubs. The objective is to provide a balance between the development of fundamental skills and game strategy. The coaching staff includes Tommy Duerr and Brian Christopher, both played on national championship teams for Johns Hopkins University. Joining them is Max Zarchin, a defense and goalie specialist from Salisbury University. Max also won a national championship with Salisbury.

Less than seven minutes into the second half, dead-ball specialist Johnson found Wethe in the six-yard box, who placed the ball inside the left post with her forehead. “We had created a number of chances in front of the net and finally we got a goal that turned out to be the game-winner,” said UCSD head coach Brian McManus. Just over three minutes later, Gabi Hernandez found an open McTigue at the edge of the box. McTigue, who fired a match-high five shots on the evening, placed the ball into the lower left corner for the final goal of the night. The win over SPU (1-1-0) is UCSD’s second in as many contests against the 10th-ranked team. The Tritons took down the Eagles 1-0 in the Sweet 16 of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. UCSD returns to action on Friday when the Tritons will travel to Los Angeles to face No. 22 Cal State L.A. UCSD’s first home contest is on Sept. 25 against Cal State San Bernardino at noon.
UCSD volleyball goes undefeated in Honolulu at Waikiki Invitational The UCSD women’s volleyball team stayed perfect on the season as it finished play undefeated at the Waikiki Beach Invitational with a pair of wins Saturday — a 3-1 victory over Northwest Nazarene and a sweep against co-host Chaminade. The 24th-ranked Tritons improved to 4-0 on the young season with the pair of wins. Scores against Northwest Nazarene were 25-27, 25-11, 25-19, 25-22. It was the first loss of the season for the Crusaders.

At Kitchen 1540, the chefs hope diners ‘surrender’ to the menu By Kelley Carlson t’s not every restaurant where you see someone raising a “white flag” in surrender. Kitchen 1540 in L’Auberge Del Mar allows guests to control their dining experience — from the portions they consume to the areas in which they may meander. The White Flag menu is one of several unique ways patrons may choose how to eat. A patron puts his or her faith in the chef, who creates a number of dishes and pairs them with drinks, and the onslaught of food begins until the diner holds up the “white flag.” Then the diner is assailed with desserts. For customers who prefer to order directly from the menu, there are sample and savor portions offered during dinner of plates, such as California White Rabbit, Barbecued Pig Tails or Hamachi, along with side dish options that include 1540 Cheese Fries, White Corn Grits and Crows Pass Squash. A sample is slightly smaller than a traditional appetizer, which allows guests to try several dishes. Savor is a little smaller than a traditional entree. “This allows each person to decide how he or she wants to dine, and it can be different each time they

organic Beet salad with carmelized yogurt, Valdeon blue cheese, pistachio brittle and arugul return,” said chef Paul McCabe. Family-style dining is yet another option, portioned for parties of four. Choose from entrees such as May Ranch Natural Ribeye, Whole Roasted Tai Snapper or Kurobuta Pork Shoulder. A children’s menu is available for the younger set. Guests can enjoy these entrees and a number of others, along with desserts and cocktails, in several locations in the recently
revamped restaurant. Just inside the entrance is the wine bar, bathed in a soft yelloworange glow, where patrons can taste vintages from as far away as France and Australia or as close as California’s Central Coast. Soothing music played on the grand piano in the lobby can be heard Thursday through Saturday. Wander into the large dining room, with its white vaulted ceiling,
and sit in a plush yellow chair near the fireplace while watching the staff in action in the open presentation kitchen. The warm hues of the wall coverings and lighting are reminiscent of a sunset. The outdoor patio comes alive at night at Kitchen 1540, with hanging lanterns in blue, orange and green and a crackling fire pit. Customers can relax in booths or chairs near the waterfall, or enjoy privacy in one of several cabanas. Herbs and plants including Thai basil, arugula flowers, spinach berries, red ribbon sorrel, parsley, chive flowers and shiso are grown in the garden and used in cooking. For private seating, there’s a wine-encased room featuring 10 purple satin chairs surrounding a rectangular wooden table. Weekends and the Del Mar racing season are the busiest at Kitchen 1540, but McCabe advises that a person can visit at any time and have a great experience. “Breakfast is very good, and I always order the Corned Beef Hash (and Eggs),” he said. For lunch, McCabe suggested ordering the Tossed Cobb Salad or the Lobster Salad. And for dinner? “I would recommend ordering the White Flag menu and let us cook for you,” he said.

Sons vs. daughters: So maybe it’s a toss up!
Let Inga tell you ... On Mother’s Day, one of my daughters-in-law sent me a box of divinely scented candles and a handmade card reading “Happy Mother’s Day! These are the most luxurious candles, so we hope you’ll indulge and remember what a wonderful mother you are every time you smell them.” I actually cried. Neither of my sons would ever have written a message like that. Which has only confirmed my longterm suspicion that where communication is concerned, daughters are definitely preferable to sons. My adult life has included two husbands (I’m still married to one of them), two sons, two nephews, and a dog named Boris. Nary a girl in sight until two lovely young women deigned to marry my sons (truthfully, we thought the ladies could do better) and have now produced two tiny granddaughters as well. When my sons were in college, friends would tell me that they heard from their daughters daily. Sometimes three times daily. Contrast this to Henri’s sophomore year when we hadn’t heard a word from him in two months. Trying not to be an overbearing mom, but rather hoping to
have some acknowledgment that he hadn’t quit school and joined a grunge band, I finally called him mid-April mentioning that I hadn’t heard from him in a bit and hoping all was well. In a line that has become immortalized in our family since, Henri replied with barely disguised annoyance, “Mom, I just talked to you in February!” My older son, Rory, didn’t do much better. You’d think in an era of e-mail that it would be easy for a child to just check in with his folks once a week. Olof and I went to college at a time when you had to actually write a letter, put a stamp on it and mail it. (Long distance calls were prohibitively expensive in the Mesozoic era.) After months of radio silence, I finally sent Rory an e-mail saying that no more money was going to be forthcoming until we received a missive of at least three lines stating how things were going. In another now-immortalized communication, Rory replied: Hi, Fine. Ror Communicators my sons were not. I assumed this would all change once they got a little older and indeed our phone conversations – often initiated by them now spontaneously end with a genuinely felt “loveyoumom.” As my 60th birthday approached, both sons wanted to know what I might like. Seizing the opportunity, I said that what would make me happiest would be if they would each write a short letter relating
three happy memories they had of me. I hated to beg, but I wasn’t getting any younger. Rory, predictably, quickly negotiated down to one. For his part, Henri replied, “Can’t I just buy you something?” But ultimately, they both came through and their touching replies were genuinely the best gift I could have received. I still read them often. Heroically, Rory even ratcheted up to four happy memories. Well, five if you include this: “In addition to these things, thank you for adopting me. Without which I would be writing to someone else.” My friends with daughters beg to insist that theirs can be a rocky road as well. Recently I lunched with a friend who told me that she and her adult daughter had gone to the Gay Pride parade in July, in support of their many friends who were gay. My friend related that she noticed some people taking pictures of the two at the parade and whispered with amusement to the daughter, “I think they think we’re a couple.” The daughter’s happy mood suddenly turned dark and didn’t improve for the rest of the day when she finally confessed the source of her distress: “They thought YOU were as good as I could do???” OK, so maybe this daughter-thing has its moments, too. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in The La Jolla Light.

By Diana Saenger For more than 35 years, “The Rocky Horror Picture� film or since 1973, Richard O’Brien’s stage production, “The Rocky Horror Show,� have each brought die-hard fans out of the woodwork to see these productions time and time again. Directed by James Vasquez, The Old Globe brings “The Rocky Horror Show� to San Diego, through Nov. 26. The outrageously funny and stylishly bizarre musical is about Brad (Kelsey Kurz) and Janet (Jeanna de Waal) a young couple who have a flat in the middle of nowhere. They get help from Dr. Frank N.

Jim Stajdel’s new song invites the world to ‘Hear Freedom Ring’ By Will BoWen To commemorate 9/11, La Jolla art dealer-turned-musician-songwriter Jim Stajdel of Cosmopolitan Gallery, has written a song about how social networking is impacting the Middle East. Stajdel calls it “Hear Freedom Ring.” It’s a catchy, melodic and patriotic rock song with a modern country flavor released on iTunes and CD Baby, where you can buy it for 99-cents. Stajdel also has plans for an accompanying music video to be posted on YouTube. He said he wants to eventually have his song sung in Arabic and Farsi with captions in those languages on the YouTube video. He is hoping local radio stations will play it. Stajdel said the song is about social networking because he thinks it can be used to help fight terrorism and lead to the spread of peaceful, progressive democracies throughout the world. According to Stajdel, social networking makes it almost impossible for dictators and repressive regimes to control the flow of information in their favor. “People can see that freedom and a better life are possible. They see it on YouTube and on Web pages, they hear about it on Twitter and Facebook,” he said.
Hear Freedom Ring (Words and Music Jim Stajdel) A revolution in the Eastern World So many dying trying to be heard Cause people everywhere just want to hear freedom ring Jim Stajdel plays piano, guitar and drums. “I’m convinced that social networking is behind the latest revolts in Libya and Egypt.” Stajdel said he was inspired by a note from his brother, who works in Cairo. “He sent me an e-mail about how he was so glad people were watching the revolution in Egypt and could see that not everyone there was a terrorist; that there were a lot of good people there. That thought made me want to write this song. “I remember I used to sing ‘Eve of Destruction’ by Barry McGuire when I was in my old rock band called “Rainband,” in New Orleans during the Iranian hostage situation during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. This is kind of an update on that song. Besides, I am Old School. I come from the generation that produced Bob Dylan and John
Let freedom ring

■ Contact: Jim Stajdel • (858) 454-1765 • www.rainbandrecords.com • Partial song proceeds will go to Wounded Warriors Lennon. I want to help change the world with my music.” Stajdel said he also plans to release a love song, “All We’ll Ever Need,” which talks about two lovers walking hand-in-hand along the beach at La Jolla Shores. The songs will launch Stajdel’s Rainband Record Company and Oceano Vista Music Publishing Company. They were produced by Josquin De Pres of Track Star Studio. De Pres has worked with Barry Taupin (Elton John’s songwriter) and the Gypsy Kings.
“If you want your voice to be heard today you better learn to Tweet,” Stajdel insisted. “The latest forms of communication offer an individual the potential for interacting with a large number of people throughout the world … social networking has made it possible for a new crop of “Indie” or independent companies to sidestep the mainstream guys and become players in the arts and music — and it has made shopping as easy as a walk to your computer. “This is how you try to make a record a hit: You put it on YouTube and on Facebook. In self-promoting your music or videos or your art, there is freedom from corporate control. People listen to a much wider spectrum of music today because there is so much out there — so many more options.”
It started in Tunisia spread on to Bahrain The people of Cairo finally took a stand In Tahir Square they prayed peacefully for freedom to ring And freedom rings ‘Cause in this twenty-first century world This Facebook Twitter Internet world Where dictators should not have the last word Yea people everywhere just want to hear freedom ring Let freedom ring!

Sensations in the Sidewalk
Photographer says look out for the art under your feet
This image, called ‘lePUS,’ was photographed on a sidewalk at la Jolla Playhouse. PHOTOS BY Dwaine BeST
By Will BoWen Sometimes we look up into the starry night at the constellations, galaxies and nebulae, and we contemplate the patterns, the organization, the beauty, the art, and mystery of the universe. But artist Dwaine Best thinks it would be a whole lot better if we reversed our upward gaze and looked down at what is right below us, because there is, “a universe of art right under our feet.” “Art Under Our Feet” is the name of the photography project about the sidewalks of La Jolla that is keeping Best busy. He has explored all areas of town and taken more than 2,500 photographs of the cracks, crevices, lines, configurations, and colors of our sidewalks. Best thinks that the cracks and wear-patterns that you can see in sidewalks are very similar to the patterns discernable up there in the heavens. All of these are universal patterns, a kind of

sacred script of the cosmos with large, cryptic sentences from the Book of Life. Best has even named some of his sidewalk photographs after the constellations. The original idea for the sidewalk photography proj-
ect began as a response to a request from a friend for some artwork for a chapbook. Best went out walking and thinking, and said he just started taking pictures of sidewalks. “Patterns are the thing I became interested in,” he said. “Patterns, what I call the cosmological features discernable on the sidewalks

I don’t touch the painting,” he said. During the day, Best works at the La Jolla Playhouse as a scenic design artist, painting the sets and backdrops. The first play he worked on was “Bonnie & Clyde.” Best has also worked on the sets at the Old Globe Theater. His favorite painting style is trompe-l’oeil, where you paint something in two dimensions (like a window or a sidewalk) and try and make it look 3-D real. Best served as art director for the recent “Artlawn” show hosted by the La Jolla Historical Society and he has three photographs from his sidewalks collection at the new Riford Library Art Gallery Show, “Our Town.” Best has been working on his sidewalks project for the last two years. “I would work on it and then give it up, but then I was drawn back. It’s like an obsession. I am not exactly sure why I do it, but I do.” Where does Best think the most artistic sidewalks are in La Jolla? “I like the sidewalks around Sammy’s Woodfired

Cabo and Coral learn about pet care in new book
‘CAELUM’ was shot on Nottingham Place in La Jolla.
This image was photographed on UCSD campus, near the Natural Sciences building. It is included in the current art show, ‘Our Town,’ at the Riford Library.
Del Mar surfer and environmentalist Udo Wahn M.D. has released the fourth in his “Cabo and Coral” series of books for the ocean-minded child. “Cabo and Coral, Dog Days of Summer,” illustrated by Jennifer Belote of San Diego (a Wyland Ocean Arts Society member) offers kids an opportunity to learn about overcoming a disability and caring for and cleaning up after a pet. Believing that dogs at the beach must be bored chasing tennis balls, Cabo and Coral decide to rescue two from the animal shelter and teach them how to surf. Gimpy has only three legs, yet masters surfing, while Wimpy watches in amazement and is inspired to try, too. Readers will learn that “aloha” is about love, kindness, sharing and living in harmony with the environment and with others,
Wahn said in a release about the story. Partial proceeds will be donated to the Helen Woodward Animal Center. The book is $17.95 and at caboandcoral.com

Athenaeum lecture series takes you museum hopping through Europe Art historian James W. Grebl, Ph.D. will explore the history, architecture and collections of Europe’s preeminent art museums in a series of four illustrated lectures at the Athenauem Music & Arts Library, Sept. 22, 29, Oct. 6 and 13. The Thursday lectures start at 7:30 p.m. in the library’s music room, 1008 Wall St. in La Jolla. The series is $40 for members; $60 nonmembers. Single lectures are $12-$17. Reservations at (858) 454-5872. n Sept. 22: The first program will look at the earliest art museums, which developed in Europe during the Renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries. These museums originated with the private collections of antiquities, paintings, sculptures, tapestries and curiosities amassed by various popes and princes for their own enjoyment, but eventually were made available to the public. Among the early museums examined are Rome’s Capitoline and Vatican museums and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. n Sept. 29: This lecture examines several of the great national art museums, which began in the 17th and 18th centuries. Among these are the Louvre in Paris and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, both of which are examples of royal collections that were transformed by a succession of monarchs and eventually by popular revolutions into remarkable public institutions, and the British Museum in London which grew from a modest bequest by the dilettante and physician Sir John
Goya, Titian, and Rubens; the sprawling group of galleries built on Museum Island in Germany’s capital of Berlin, including archaeological treasures from Pergamon and Babylon; and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, built upon centuries of collecting by Austria’s Habsburg rulers.
Vatican Museum in Rome will be among the places discussed in the Athenaeum’s lecture series. courtesy Soane into the repository for the artistic treasures from around the globe. n Oct. 6: This presentation will explore a diverse group of national museums which began in the 19th century, including the Neth-
erlands’ Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam with its collection of paintings by Rembrandt and other Dutch masters; Spain’s Prado Museum in Madrid, based on the former Spanish royal collections and containing an array of works by Velázquez,
n Oct. 13: The final lecture will look at a number of museums founded or built in the 20th century, including France’s Musée d’Orsay, housed in a restored and adapted Paris train station, as well as several museums that are stunning examples of contemporary architecture. Among these is the Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, whose undulating structure was designed by James Stirling, and Frank Gehry’s spectacular and controversial Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.

www.lajollalight.com FROM ARCHITECTURE, B1 walk. So how else to tackle the project but to start walking “through and around” campus, looking at how the buildings respond to the site and taking what he calls an “organic” look at the campus. “I gained a new appreciation for it,” he said. “It was fun walking through all the neighborhoods and visiting every building on campus.” The guide served last year as a basis for a special series of two-hour morning tours, with Sutro leading a 60-minute talk before the bus took off around campus. This year, the regular Sunday afternoon campus tours have morphed into architectural tours of 90 minutes, according to John Meyers, one of the docents who will be leading them. But Sutro won’t be involved this year, he added. In his walks about campus, Sutro said one of the biggest surprises was in the Applied Physics and Math Building on the Muir College campus where he happened upon a rooftop courtyard. Hellmann, Sutro and a guidebook committee (also including photographers David Hewitt and Anne Garrison) began with a list of 140 buildings and pared it down to 110. There was a “high percentage of agreement” for the final picks. Since the book’s publication, new buildings have been finished which will be add-
LA JOLLA LIGHT - SEPTEMBER 8, 2011 - Page B15
The Campus Guide: University of California San Diego The 224–page guide by Dirk Sutro is available at Amazon.com and the UCSD bookstore, for about $30. It includes a brief history of the campus and 10 walking tours with maps, photos and descriptions of what you’ll see.
Did you know? n A UCSD engineer helped design Scripps Crossing, the pedestrian bridge that crosses La Jolla Shores Drive. n The campus has its own central utilities plant and cogeneration plant tucked in the center of campus.

ed when the book is updated. While Sutro acknowledges he has a few favorites, he frames his discussion in terms of importance because “my tastes encompass every era and every style” of architecture. “When I started, I took the Geisel (Library) for granted.” Pictured on the book’s cover, it was first called the central library, then University Library and, 1995, was renamed for Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel when his widow, Audrey, donated $20 million. He revisited the structure and read about architect William Pereira, whom he describes as “an L.A. superstar,” who helped change the vision of how the campus should evolve. Instead
of having a 360-foot tower that the original campus master plan sought, the library became the focal image, the logo for the campus, and an inspiration for buildings in movies like “Inception” and “Killer Tomatoes Strike Back,” and has been featured in TV series as well. Sutro’s historical view is detailed succinctly in the 22-page introduction that walks a reader through the fledgling days of the development of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography where the campus found its “philosophical and aesthetic roots,” and its days as home to a Marine Corps firing range and the spot where soldiers were set to defend the coast-
line during World War II. He touches on the visions that consulting architects wanted to lay over the land, from Robert Alexander’s original master plan for 12 colleges linked by a northsouth pedestrian “boulevard” to a 2004 update of the 1989 plan that outlines what’s to come through 2020. Sutro’s work ventures the societal influences that have shaped the campus and looks at what he calls a sam-
n There really is an OceanView Terrace on campus that is a student dining hall. n There is a 72-foot-tall, suspended sculpture in the atrium lobby of the Leichtag Biomedical Research building. pling “of a century’s worth of modern architecture … from modest wood buildings to brutalist concrete structures and sleek designs in steel and glass.” It is the “modernist aesthetic that unifies the campus,” he wrote, and one of the few places in San Diego without the “historical-revival styles” of other UC campuses or San Diego’s other two university campuses.
Sutro looks at the challenges of building on a hilly site that created struggles between “nature (the site) and man, science and engineering.” In the book he calls it “the spirited quest for innovative ideas.” Unlike iconic campuses like Harvard or Yale, he said, “you have to look at UCSD as a whole versus the ‘main gate’ “type of campus. “It is distinctive in a different way.”

Playhouse’s WoW project stages unique experience in Botanic Garden By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt WoW! Thanks to La Jolla Playhouse, it’s not just an expletive anymore. It stands for Without Walls, a new program to bring theater beyond the confines of its buildings and into the world outside. As part of Arts Month San Diego, the Playhouse is kicking off the program with “Susurrus,” an audio play by Glasgow-based playwright David Leddy, whom the Sunday Times called “Scotland’s hottest, edgiest young playwright.” Leddy specializes in designing site-specific plays for unusual locations, like a graveyard, a greenhouse, or his own bedroom. The word susurrus means what it sounds like: whispering, murmurs, like the rustle of wind through trees. So it’s a perfect title for a play that takes you on a walk through San Diego Botanic Garden with an iPod, while voices softly speak, and sometimes sing, in your ears. Described as “part radio play, part avant-garde sonic art and part stroll in the park,” “Susurrus”
La Jolla Playhouse’s first ‘without walls’ production is ‘susurrus,’ a haunting audio-play experience coming to san Diego Botanic Garden this month. Courtesy weaves together bits of bird lore, memoir, and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (both Shakespeare’s play and Benjamin Britten’s opera), creating a tale of love and loss that will move you emotionally and physically, whispering another
world into being as it guides you on your way. It’s certainly a different kind of theater. There’s no stage, and no audience around you. You reserve your show time in advance, with no more than six people admitted
every 15 minutes. You’re given a map and an iPod, and it’s a personal experience — just you and those voices, in a setting that keeps changing as you follow the mapped-out route. An award-winner at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival, “Sussurus” has already been presented in several English gardens, and public gardens in places like Boston, New Haven, and Ann Arbor. I’ve had a small preview and can tell you: it is haunting. One of the highlights: the countertenor aria from Britten’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” It’s lucent. Ethereal. Definitely Wow. WoW is funded by a four-year, $900,000 grant from The James Irvine Foundation, and the Playhouse plans to commission a different production every six months or so, to be performed in parks, malls and other locations throughout San Diego, culminating with a festival in Spring 2013. “Because of our weather, this is

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. But 65 years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelry, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe is a thriving La Jolla business. Bowers’ history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry’s mother Adele once worked as a designer for the store. Larry later joined her as an employee until he purchased the business in 1981.

The crew squabbles over how they should bury the chest.
FROM WoW, B16 one of the friendliest places for site-specific art,” said Christopher Ashley, Playhouse artistic director. “As soon as we got the grant, we started looking for exciting new pieces, and our literary manager, Gabe Greene, found ‘Sussurus’ in Columbus, Ohio. We all went to see it, and what was really exciting was the way what was planned and what was unplanned intersected, the way real life and art start to blur. Like the flock of birds that took off at just the right moment.” The grant enabled the Playhouse to bring the playwright here to find the perfect site. “We showed him several gardens and this was the one he loved, for the feeling of the place and how it related to his piece,” Ashley said. This is the West Coast
an Diego Junior Theater will launch its 64th season with “How I Became a Pirate,” based on the book by Melinda Long, Sept. 9-25 at the La Jolla YMCA Firehouse, 7877 Herschel Ave. The plot begins when young Jeremy Jacobs (Luke Ruggiero) is found by Captain Braid Beard (Fred Strack) after making a wrong turn to “La Jolla Shores.” Due to his amazing digging skills, Jeremy is taken on Braid Beard’s adventure for the sake of burying treasure. Jeremy thinks this is the life for him, but soon realizes the simple things in life are the most important. “We are premiering this in San Diego,” said director Desha Crownover. “And what makes this play special is that kids teach adults things, too, and people of all ages can laugh and enjoy it.” Tickets for matinees and evenings are $14-$11 and available at (619) 239-8355 or juniortheatre.com

By Jenna Jay More than 150 La Jolla volunteers, including employees of the eco-friendly hair care company Tonic, will participate in the fifth annual They Will Surf Again event at La Jolla Shores from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10. Sponsored by the Life Rolls On Foundation (LRO), a subsidiary of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation based in Culver City, the La Jolla surf event will provide an opportunity for participants with spinal cord injury and paralysis to experience a day of surfing with the help of volunteers. “Our purpose is to improve the quality of life for people with forms of paralysis,” said Sarah Donaldson, program manager for Life Rolls On. “[It’s] to let them surf again if they were surfers pre-accident or maybe this is their first time ever. We push the possibilities, show them anything is possible. They’re enjoying being able to ride the waves and surf, despite maybe being confined to a wheelchair while on land.” They Will Surf Again (TWSA), now in its 12th year nationwide, is a free program for participants through Life Rolls On that provides annual surfing experiences for those living with spinal cord injury. TWSA is happening in nine cities across the country. The event at La Jolla Shores will bring 40 surfers and 150 volunteers to the beach for the day, pairing 10-12 volunteers per participant for an afternoon of camaraderie and aquatic activities. “[The best part of the event] is really just being able to share that experience with someone who’s catching a wave for the first time,” said Lauren Otonicar, a TWSA volunteer and founder/president of La Jolla-based Tonic hair care company, which will provide volunteers at this year’s event. Otonicar requires, as part of Tonic’s philanthropic mission, that all employees participate in a volunteer activity once a year. “Our

philosophy is to be of service and give back to the community,” she said. “It’s changed my life and I hope co-workers get something out of it, too.” Otonicar said her involvement with the surf community connected her with Life Rolls On, and brought her full circle through Tonic. Targeted toward surfers and environmentally conscious consumers, Tonic’s organic products are sold at Surf Diva and Bird Rock Surf Shop. Tonic currently sponsors eight female surfers around
Southern California and Hawaii, and employees of the company also volunteer with Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego. Volunteers are needed for water or non-water positions for the day’s events, which also include volunteer training, breakfast and lunch, free massages for participants and volunteers, a beach lounge chill tent, music and more. “It’s just a whole day of camaraderie and hanging out on the beach,” Donaldson said. “It’s a whole environment there.”

Cruising the grocery aisles with my culinary wish list
Kitchen Shrink By Catharine L. Kaufman One of my favorite pastimes is strolling the supermarket aisles, trolling for new and exciting produce and products. Sure, we all need basic staples for a wellstocked pantry, prepared to throw a hearty, delicious meal on the table at a moment’s notice (we’ve all had pop-over dinner guests), but I like to splurge now and again when I see edible bliss. Here’s my luxuryshopping list. n Oil and Lube The gold standard of oils is organic, extra virgin olive oil. This perfect blend of poly- and mono-unsaturated fats is a heart-healthy magic bullet that puts the skids on
bad cholesterol while boosting the good kind. Have an oil change with white or black truffle oil — olive oil infused with these exotic fungi that imparts an earthy, mushroom essence to the oil. Truffle oil is concentrated and pungent, more of a flavor-enhancing finishing oil than a cooking oil, so use a light hand. Experiment by drizzling on steamed or grilled veggies, wild-caught salmon, shrimps or other seafood, omelets and frittatas, or warm it up and pour over your favorite greens for warm, wilted salads — the possibilities divine and endless. n Be a Culture Vulture Organic yoghurt or kefir? Both these silky, milky beauties contain cultures giving a feeling of comfort and well-being. Yogurt’s beneficial bacteria keep the gut clean, and provide a buffet for friendly bacteria that live in the digestive tract. But kefir is a superfood containing strains of bacteria including Lactobacillus Caucasus and
Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette n Ingredients: 1/2 cup Meyer lemon juice 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Black pepper to taste n Method: In a mixing bowl, whisk together ingredients. Chill and stir before serving. Leuconostoc that colonize the intestine. Kefir does a spring-cleaning in the gut, bolstering intestine’s performance by destroying harmful yeasts and keeping E. coli and parasites from the front door. For those with lactose sensitivities, try goat milk or non-dairy kefirs like coconut water. Kefir comes in plain, vanilla, berry, pomegranate and peach flavors that are great on granolas, oatmeal and baked potatoes, layered in fruit parfaits, blended in
sweet or savory chilled soups or sipped straight up in a tall cool glass. n Heirloom Treasures The popular heirloom or “ugly” tomatoes are varieties that have been passed down from generations due to their favorable traits. These technicolors include emerald, golden zebra and violet. When in season, grab them for their beauty, flavor and cancer-fighting lycopene. But the true caviar of tomatoes is the dry-farmed
version. Sugar sweet and ruby red, these beauts are found at farmerstands and natural markets for a brief season in September. They are grown with the environmentally smart method of “dry-farming” when irrigation is stopped once the plants have taken a foothold. Forcing the roots to bore deep to hunt for water, this makes the plant concentrate on fruit production, creating a smaller, more flavorful tomato, with the added boon of conserv-
ing water. Dry-farmed tomatoes are best showcased in their pure, raw form in salads, salsas or solo, drizzled with truffle oil and a sprinkling of fresh basil leaves. n Main Squeeze Meyer lemons are the ambrosia of citrus. A native of China, they are believed to be a hybrid cross of a common lemon and a mandarin or orange, making them pleasantly tart and juicy with a glabrous skin, perfect for zesting. Famed foodies Alice Waters and Martha Stewart put Meyers on the culinary map, and once you’ve tried them, you’ll be hooked, too. There must be 50 ways to use your Meyer including lemon soufflé, lemon and almond chicken, lemon chili shrimp, lemon scones, lemon kefir smoothies, traditional Greek lemon rice soup, aka Avgolemono, and this refreshing Meyer dressing to drizzle on your greens, heirlooms or dryfarmed tomatoes.

Actor Jonathan McMurtry makes his next role a ‘Hero’ at North Coast Rep By Sara appel-lennon For the past 50 years, Jonathan McMurtry has been Associate Artist with The Old Globe Theatre, having acted in more than 200 productions, performed in all 37 plays by Shakespeare, and mentored graduate students. His awards include the KPBS 2006 Shiley Patte “Lifetime in Theatre Achievement,” several Los Angeles and San Diego Crit-
ics’ Circle Awards, and 2008 Craig Noel “Lifetime in Theatre Achievement Award.” “I’ve stopped counting all of my awards. It’s nice to get them. I don’t do my work to get awards. The work is larger than I am,” McMurtry said. Hamlet is the character he most identifies with, he said, having played the role seven times. “My best Hamlet was my first Hamlet. As

we get older, we think too much and get set in our ways.” McMurtry will star with Ken Ruta and Ray Reinhardt in San Diego’s premiere of “Heroes,” Oct. 19-Nov. 13 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. The three actors combined, have more than 165 years of stage experience. In looking over his long career, McMurtry said he owes his big break to his mentor, Craig Noel, founding director of The Old Globe. “He championed me,” McMurtry said. “He died last year at age 94, but he is a living legend in San Diego.” McMurtry said he met Noel in Milwaukee in 1960. McMurtry was playing a bit part (no lines) in “Taming of the Shrew,” and Noel invited him to the Shakespeare Festival at The Old Globe with a scholarship of $500 per month. After receiving his check, McMurtry said he borrowed $250 to repay the theater, promising to make good on the balance. He discovered the money was his salary! “I was just a little scrub and happened to be at the right place at the right
Jonathan McMurtry, holds the record for longest association with one theater in america for his work at The old Globe in San Diego. COURTESY time,” McMurtry said. The actor hails from Detroit, Mich., where his dad, in tuxedo and top hat, worked as a tap dancer with his mom, an acrobatic dancer and choreographer. He said he read his favorite book, Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” in Mrs. Berry’s fifth-grade class. “I loved the surprises, the wonder of something you don’t know is going to happen.” He has read it six times since. McMurtry worked at Walt Disney Studio as a commer-
cial artist, then left to become a scenic designer and attend Los Angeles City College. In 1958, its Drama Chair, Jerry Blunt, encouraged him to enter the National Shakespeare Competition. By winning, McMurtry earned a scholarship to England’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. “I fell in love with Shakespeare,” he said. “Shakespeare is so generous. Nobody knows who Shakespeare, the man, is. He’s anonymous. He’s not political, his characters are. I think he chose to be anonymous.” McMurtry said he most enjoys Shakespeare’s onesyllable words, “In their simplicity, they’re so profound, not elaborate at all.” He still remembers when his teacher, John Barton, said, “Everything’s in the words and the words only.” McMurtry encourages actors to study Hamlet’s speech to the players. “The biggest problem with actors, is putting a period where there is none,” he said. “When I accept a role, I imagine a character’s posture. The questions I ponder are: Why did the playwright

Suddenly lines emerge from his booming voice. David Ellenstein, NCRT artistic director, described McMurtry’s method as “creating the make believe” before expressing it outwardly. McMurtry’s career was celebrated when San Diego County and the city of Vista proclaimed June 30, 2008 as “Jonathan McMurtry Day,” on his 71st birthday. He was performing his favorite readings from Shakespeare at the Moonlight Amphitheatre.

La Jolla Community Planning Association says “No Harm…No Foul”. “No Harm No Foul” was the comment of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) Trustee Michael Costello, at the LJCPA September 1st meeting. Moreover, this appeared to be the mind-set of each of the other LJCPA Trustees who sat regretfully silent as their President, Tony Crisafi, declined to answer the question of the evening; when asked by Trustee and former LJCPA president Joe La Cava “Why did you not file an appeal of 1912 Sprindrift?” On August 3rd The City of San Diego’s Hearing Officer approved the demolishing of a single story residence at 1912 Spindrift and the construction of a new two story residence, of which Mr. Tony Crisafi is the project architect. At their August 4th LJCPA meeting the Trustees discussed in detail whether or not to appeal the Hearing Officer’s approval of Mr. Crisafi’s project. During this meeting Matt Peterson, the project’s attorney, raised the ques-
tion to the LJCPA, “Why is this item on the agenda tonight?” LJCPA Vice President Rob Whittemore replied, “The Hearing Officer approved the project and so the issue tonight is whether or not the LJCPA should appeal that decision”. Trustees Fitzgerald and Manno agreed. Trustee Phil Merten, emphasized the key issue is to not allow parking in the front yard of the home designed by Mr. Crisafi. Trustees Bond, Costello, Gabsch, Little, Fitzgerald, Courtney, Weiss and LJCPA members Dale Naegle, Kathleen Neil and members of the public participated in the discussion supporting the appeal of Mr. Crisafi’s project. Despite the 8 to 4 vote by the Trustees to appeal the Hearing Officer’s decision, Mr. Crisafi, chose not to file the appeal as required by the bylaws of the LJCPA. By doing so, Mr. Crisafi’s client has an approved project. His project will now not have to endure the expensive environmental review process caused by such LJCPA
appeals; Mr. Crisafi’s actions saved his client months of review time and thousands of dollars. The project attorney Matt Peterson, however, did answer the question later in the evening. The LJCPA Trustees were told that Mr. Crisafi, Mr. Merten and he had reached a “compromise agreement” to resolve the project’s parking issues. “We found a way to attach a garage, and we’re going to use a stacking lift system to satisfy the street-parking requirement,” Their “compromised agreement” however was not reached at a noticed public meeting, nor was it placed on a LJCPA agenda as required by City Council Policy 60024 and the Brown Act. None of the above mentioned LJCPA Trustees, LJCPA members or members of the public who had previously supported the appeal of 1912 Spindrift had any participation in their “compromised agreement”. It was only at the LJCPA September 1st meeting, and after the 10 day appeal period
expired, that the other LJCPA Trustees, LJCPA members and the public were informed of their “compromised agreement” in the conspicuous absence of Trustee Phil Merten. We now know why Mr. Crisafi did not appeal 1912 Spindrift or answer Mr. La Cava’s question. He and Mr. Peterson reached a “compromised agreement” with Trustee Merten… Is this the way decisions are made at the LJCPA? “No Harm No Foul”……Mr. Costello? The credibility and trustworthiness of the LJCPA has been “Harmed” and every applicant that comes in front of the LJCPA has been “Fouled”. Mr. Crisafi’s and Mr. Merten’s dealings of conducting the peoples business behind close doors must end. The question now is; “Will the LJCPA Trustees demand their immediate resignation or continue to ignore their blatant violations of Council Policy 600-24 and the Brown Act?” – Kim Whitney, LJCPA Member
