Art & Wine Fest raises $150K for La Jolla schools BY COREY LEVITAN he ninth annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival drew more than 40,000 browsers and carousers to The Village last Saturday and Sunday, said organizer Sherry Ahern, and raised more than $150,000 for local public schools. “It was the biggest, the best one we’ve ever done,” Ahern said. “So many people came from all over San Diego County. All the restaurants and hotels were full. It was probably twice as busy as we’ve ever been.” Stretching along Girard Avenue from Torrey Pines Road to Prospect Street, booths displayed works from 160 artists. In addition, a tent sponsored by Geppetto’s Toys hosted art projects and science experiments for the kiddos. “A ton of La Jollans came out and many volunteered,” Ahern said. “I’m so grateful for everyone in La Jolla for supporting us.” Ahern said next year’s festival is already slated for Saturday, Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 14. ■ See more festival photos on A18.

City Council unanimously approves Hillel Center $6.5M needed before construction begins
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON After more than two hours of debate and public testimony — and 17 years of processing — the Glickman Hillel Center for Jewish Life was unanimously approved in San Diego City Council chambers on Oct. 3. District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry made the motion to support staff recommendations to approve all actions necessary to proceed with the construction of the facility.
Bry added two provisions to staff recommendations with her motion: one to prohibit future expansion of the Hillel facility and the other to form an advisory committee to address noise, traffic and parking (to expire within five years with an option to extend). The Hillel Center project, which would serve students of the nearby UC San Diego, would construct a three-building, 6,479 square-foot religious facility at 9009 La Jolla Scenic Drive North at La Jolla Village Drive.
