In a sea of hundreds of people celebrating the annual Del Mar Opening Day, no one stood out quite like Richard Polacek. A retired engineer and onagain, off-again participant of the Del Mar Opening Day Hat Contest, Polacek donned a hat for the contest’s 25th anniversary that

was at least two feet tall, weighed a dozen pounds and required two hand straps and a cushion for the top of his head. Despite his often complex designs and towering features, his hats have never won the grand prize in the seven years he’s been a part of it (though he’s won second place three times), but his reasons for entering are based

more on fun than competition. “We first noticed that there weren’t many men in the contest, going back six or seven years,” he said. “So my very first hat had some animation. It had some audio with an announcer calling the race and some horses on the track. I won second place with SEE HATS PG. 11

Sibling owners of Pantai Inn have sold their small, family held waterfront hotel in La Jolla to J Street Hospitality for an undisclosed sum. “We created a special luxury boutique hotel in the jewel of La Jolla,” said Laurnie Durisoe who, along with brother Larry Jackman, owned and operated the hotel at 1003 Coast Blvd. Pantai was built by their grandfather, Max Heimburge, in 1946. Asked what’s distinguished Pantai, Durisoe said, “The dedicated staff, the exceptional guest experience and our amazing ocean front location placed Pantai as one of the leading hotels in California. We have been ranked the No. 1 hotel on Trip Advisor in San Diego for more than three years, and in the top 10 hotels in California. This was a legacy property, an heirloom property.” Durisoe said Pantai’s new owners took over operations several weeks ago, describing the ownership transition as “smooth.” “J Street Hospitality is fortunate to have acquired the Pantai Inn, with its welcoming charm and personality, from generations of family ownership,” said Jeff Schwartz, J Street Hospitality executive vice president.“The Pantai Inn has its own unique character that guests love and we embrace, with many repeat visitors who have been coming here for generations also. “J Street is a San Diego company, with other specialty hotels in San Diego, Coronado, and San Francisco. So this was an ideal match for us to acquire a very special property in La Jolla.” Enumerating other assets, Schwartz added Pantai “is perched gracefully above La Jolla Cove in a spectacular location. But it’s the wonderful staff and warm Balinese hospitality that have made the Pantai Inn a long time guest favorite.” Pantai recently updated its guest suites and cottages with authentic and original artwork and design directly from Bali. Durisoe, who is retiring, said her hotel staff has been retained by the new owners. She said she and her bother had worked at Pantai Inn off and on since they were in their teens. Pantai Inn opened in 1946 as the Shell Beach Apartment-Motel. Then owner Max Heimburge, a successful shoemaker, was a German immigrant who also owned La Jolla the Universal Boot Shop and La Jolla Cove Hotel & Suites.

Funds for La Jolla MAD included in City budget Should the sluice gates BY DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

It may not be over just yet, but funding for a maintenance assessment district passed by La Jollans in 2016 – though still being challenged in court – is in this year’s City budget. “The MAD is going forward as far as we know,” said Ed Witt, president of Enhance La Jolla, a nonprofit with a 13-member board guiding the special district. “The city has put us in their budget to be voted on in July. We expect to be up and running, actually doing maintenance, in the September/October time frame.” A MAD is a legal mechanism by which property owners vote to assess themselves to pay and receive services above-and-beyond what the City normally provides. Since its passage, the La Jolla MAD has been barred from being implemented by an ongoing court lawsuit filed by a landlord group known as the La Jolla Benefits Association. LJBA argued the MAD was unlawful because it essentially constitutes a second tax on services the city is already obligated by its charter to provide. The initial judicial verdict on Nov. 30, 2017 sided with landlords, with San Diego Judge Randa Trapp ruling the MAD was unconstitutional. “The general public should not be required to pay for special benefits for the few, and the few specially benefited should not be subsidized by the general public,” Trapp said. However, the judicial tables were turned months later when Judge Trapp reversed her previous ruling on La Jolla’s MAD. The second

‘We would hope the city does not collect the MAD money until the appeals process is concluded.’ – MARIA SEVERSON, ATTORNEY AT AGUIRRE & SEVERSON time around, Trapp determined the benefits association “had no standing in the case.” Standing is a legal term for the ability of a party to demonstrate to the court sufficient connection to, and harm from, the law or action challenged to support that party's participation in the case. Trapp’s decision on standing in the La Jolla MAD case remains under appeal. Maria Severson of the law firm Aguirre & Severson, LLP, which is representing LJBA, said briefs are about to be filed by both sides in that appeal. “Then the court will schedule oral arguments, which could happen by the end of this year,” Severson said noting “a special benefit cannot be received by any group over and above that received by the general public.” Added Severson, “The case in it entirety will be argued in the appeal.” Meanwhile, Severson conceded MAD monies are no longer embargoed. “There is no stay on the court decision, they (City) can collect it (assessment),” she said pointing out, “They (City) chose to give it all back when they lost the first time. They may lose again on appeal. Then they’d have to give it back again. We would hope the city does not collect the MAD money until the appeals process is concluded.” If allowed, the new MAD would privately fund and construct projects in public spaces, ensure on-

going maintenance services and enhance the Village's beauty and quality of life. Enhancement projects could include sidewalk power washing, replacement of cityowned trash cans, weed abatement, landscaping improvements, graffiti removal and gutter sweeping. The La Jolla MAD assessments would be about $87 annually for most residents. Businesses would be assessed according to their size. “The funds assessed for the MAD are only spent on maintenance which is spelled out very specifically in the contract with the city,” said Enhance’s Witt. “That maintenance is above and beyond what the city is, or could provide, and it is very specific. Enhance is the contractor and we will hire sub-contractors to do the work for us.” Witt added La Jolla John Unbewust has been retained as a general manager to run the MAD maintenance, or to supervise the sub-contractors. Enhance La Jolla will also be asking residents to make tax-deductible donations to fund the special district. “It's quite obvious to anyone visiting or living in La Jolla that the Village has really lost its glow,” Witt said. “Although one of the most beautiful places on the planet, it has not been properly cared for. The city doesn't have the resources to do much for us. The 501(c)3 along with the added work done by the MAD is our only way of improving our beloved La Jolla.”

open at Children’s Pool? BY DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

There is a longstanding view among longtime La Jollans that sluice gates built into the crescent-shaped wall that created Children’s Pool could and should be opened to cleanse it. The seawall and pool were built and financed by La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps in 1932 to protect the shore from oncoming waves, making it the ideal spot for a safe children’s wading area. But in the intervening years, the shallow pool has been fouled by waste buildup from harbor seals, who’ve turned the pool into a de facto rookery. Seals bathe, haul out and give birth to their pups on the beach there. La Jolla Village News asked the City to address whether the sluice gates could still be opened, and if that would cleanse the pool by allowing it to be flushed by natural wave action. The City’s answer was it is feasible. But as to whether it would be practical, or cost effective to do, the City said right now it isn’t because the old sluiceways are plugged. “Some time ago the sluiceways were filled with concrete,” said Timothy Graham, supervising City spokesperson. “We don’t know when or why this happened. But we suspect it may have been done in an effort to keep sand on the beach. There was also concern that if the sluiceways were opened, it might undermine the integrity of the walkway structure (seawall).” Graham referenced the results of a 1998 Sluiceway study done on

Children’s Pool seawall, which evaluated the feasibility of opening the four sluice gates in it. The sluiceway study, done by Testing Engineers - San Diego, Inc., also provided a construction cost estimate for reopening the sluiceways and removing built-up sand on the beach, which was estimated at $40,000 in 1998. According to the sluiceway study, the original design of the pool breakwater placed 4-feet-wide by 6-feethigh sluiceways through the concrete wall structure. The sluiceways are about 50 feet from the beach at the south end of the breakwater. Indications from evidence of debris, styrofoam pieces, candy wrappers, etc. are that there is some water movement through the sluiceways despite the concrete plugs. The study determined openings in the sluiceways probably resulted from wave-action erosion. In an excerpt from the 1998 sluiceways study: “A jackhammer was used to determine the difficulty in removing the concrete plugs. Although it was possible to break the concrete, the plugs are hard and it will take a considerable amount of energy to remove the concrete blocking the openings.” The report concluded, “The sluiceways can be opened by removing the concrete plugs that were replaced on the ocean side of the breakwater. Debris will need to be cleared out of the remaining section of each sluiceway. We believe the breakwater was constructed to install a gate and gate hoist over each sluiceway. However, we do not believe that these gates were installed.”

La Jolla Parks and Beaches supports clean-up of Children’s Pool BY DAVE SCHWAB | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Community park planners in June and July clashed at La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc. over the seals at Children’s Pool. The ever-controversial issue of harbor seals at Children’s Pool resurfaced in June, then again a month later, during debate between seal and pro-beach access advocates on the board. The squabble initially erupted in June when beach-access proponents expressed displeasure at the California Coastal Commission’s recent unanimous decision extending the seasonal Children’s Pool beach closure and guideline rope there for another decade. “As we suspected, the Coastal Commission bought into extending City permits at Children’s Pool for another 10 years, even though the last permits were in place for five years,” said LJPB board member Ken Hunrichs. “They didn’t vote to study ways to improve the sand and water quality there, or disabled access.”

Predicted Hunrichs, “This opens the door now for a request to close the public beach permanently yearround.” Seal advocate and LJPB board member Dr. Jane Reldan disagreed. “The Coastal Commission approved the City’s request for protections for the seals during the Dec. 15 to May 15 pupping season, and the guideline rope from May 16 to Dec. 14,” she said. “No one is seeking complete closure.” In July, the board revisited the issue of seals, this time differing over board member and diver John Leek’s proposal to do a private beach clean-up at Children’s Pool. Reldan objected to Leek’s proposal, reading a 2013 letter from the Coastal Commission warning that such beach cleanup was forbidden because it would disturb the habitat of wildlife living in residue on the beach. “I think the City should absolutely be required to clean up the beach,” said board member Melinda Merryweather, who noted the continuing shared-use policy at

the new state law that took effect in January makes street vending with proper licensing legal most everywhere. LJPB has opposed implementation of the new law, arguing it destroys the ocean view shed at spots like the new walkway above Children’s Pool. Whether or not sidewalk vending constitutes first amendment freedom of expression is one of many legal issues in question with SB 946.

Children’s Pool has created a situation where children have been shortchanged “because the pool has become a litter box.” Board member Ken Hunrichs noted private beach clean-ups have been done numerous times in the past. A question arose as to whether a City permit was needed to clean the beach. “What if you’re breaking the law, and we’re giving you a big green

light?,” board president Ann Dynes asked. The board voted 15-3 to support beach clean-up of Children’s Pool. Dennis Tomlinson, a displeased La Jolla sidewalk jewelry vendor, turned up at LJPB’s June 24 meeting to complain about the board’s opposition to SB 946, which has loosened restrictions on street vending on sidewalks and in public parks like Scripps. Showing his permits, Tomlinson insisted that

In other action: Board member Patrick Ahern gave an update on the Marine Street mural. “No mural is permissible at this time,” Ahern said adding that, as presently construed, it would be illegal according to existing rules governing public murals by both the City and the Public Arts Commission. In June, a local mural painter proposed doing a mural to cover the graffiti-riddled seawall at Marine Street beach. The artist submitted several prospective designs, which included one with donuts and another with an ocean theme.

lived with Crosthwaite and she attended his arraignment before San Diego Superior Court Judge Jay Bloom. Ganskow stabbed Crosthwaite “a number of times� in the neck with scissors, said Deputy District Attorney Matthew Greco, who added that Crosthwaite died of cardiac arrest and loss of blood. The prosecutor told Bloom Crosthwaite was stabbed with a knife in 2018 by Ganskow who was sentenced to jail and released on terms of probation. Ganskow was able to return to the same residence with the victim’s consent in 2019, said Greco. “He was a victim who had a big

heart,� said Greco afterwards to reporters. “Unfortunately, on July 8, history repeated itself in a very sad way.� San Diego Police reported getting a call at 6:13 a.m. on July 8 for a person who was not breathing. Crosthwaite could not be revived and officers interviewed Ganskow and his mother before Ganskow was later arrested. Bloom set bail at $3 million on the murder case, but revoked bail on the probation case because he had violated terms of his probation by being arrested again. Ganskow remains in jail. A preliminary hearing was set for Sept. 26.

CONFUSION OVER LA JOLLA SWIMS

UCSD NAMED 4TH BEST FOR RESEARCH OUTPUT

The La Jolla Rough Water Swim is “not� being reorganized under the name La Jolla Open Water Swim, said Bill Perry, LJRWS spokesman. "La Jolla Open Water Swim has been used in the past to identify our event and is a registered DBA by La Jolla Rough Water Swim, Inc.,� said Perry. “Based on the numerous phone calls we have received, swimmers seem to think that our event is being reorganized under our previously used name (La Jolla Open Water Swim) and are expecting an event with the same high standards.� Added Perry, “The La Jolla Rough Water Swim event has not been abandoned and has plans to continue in the near future based on the water quality at La Jolla Cove. The LJRWS was last held in 2015, after having been canceled in 2014 due to construction at the La Jolla Cove Lifeguard Station. That was the first time since 1959 that the annual swim fest, drawing 2,000 participants from all over the nation and the world, had been canceled. High bacteria counts in the Cove attributable to pinniped and birdwaste buildup was the cause of recent event cancellations. A new and different, downscaled swim is being planned this year for Sept. 8. It is being organized by La Jolla Parks and Beaches, Inc.

The University of California San Diego ranked fourth among public research universities in the U.S. in this year’s annual ranking of high-quality scientific research papers by the journal Nature. In the Nature Index 2019 Annual Tables, the campus ranked 22nd in the world out of 500 institutions and ninth among U.S. universities. The ranking is based on research results by UC San Diego faculty, students, staff and campus affiliates published in 82 high-quality, scientific journals in 2018. The Nature Index took into account the total number of papers at each institution, as well as the share of authorship of each paper in compiling its ranking of the top 500 universities in the world. Groundbreaking research from UC San Diego published in prestigious journals during 2018 includes a paper from the Jacobs School of Engineering where researchers from the school outlined their work designing a wearable ultrasound patch that non-invasively monitors blood pressure in arteries deep beneath the skin. The new technology could help people detect cardiovascular problems earlier and with greater precision. For more information about UC San Diego’s rankings, visit ucpa. ucsd.edu/campus-profile.

Community An exciting new life in New York City as an independent working woman Doing it Better By Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. I was ready to leave my parent’s home in Beverly Hills to test myself as an independent, 22-year-old woman. My friend Myra Cohn told me about a college friend of hers in New York looking for a roommate; this provided an opportunity to lessen my parents’ worries about my living alone. After a few letter exchanges with Jeannie Rubinstein, I left home for good. She remained my best friend until her death a few years ago. We lived in one room in a somewhat seedy apartment building with only a screen separating our beds. As I was going to sleep my first night in New York, Jeannie called out for me to meet her boyfriend. I met him in my flannel pajamas thinking how no man had ever seen me in night clothes, feeling embarrassed and awkward while trying to look cool. There was something odd about that apartment building on West 58th Street — there were always a lot of men going up and down the elevators, stopping at various floors. It turned out that many of the rooms were rented by the hour. We did not have a clue that we were living in an apartment building of ill repute. I was paying $50 a month rent, splitting the rent in half with Jeannie. It was common knowledge that rent should equal a quarter of your earnings, therefore, I

needed a job that would pay at least $200 a month. I answered ads and sent letters, but only received two job offers. One of them was at the headquarters of Encyclopedia Americana where I would be doing research, an ideal job. At the end of my interview, the manager said I could have the job, but first he would like to take me cruising on his yacht moored in Long Island. I refused and did not get the job. I also had an interview with Flexalum Venetian Blinds for a position as a girl Friday and was hired. It was a real 9-to-5 job paying $200 a month in the Wall Street district with a subway stop nearby. I had achieved my goal of being a self-supporting, working woman in New York. I often took the bus, not the Fifth Avenue one which cost a dime, but the Madison Avenue one for only a nickel, even though it stopped a block further away. Though my work at Flexalum consisted of mostly filing and running errands, I was ecstatic to be part of the working world. I only had one bad experience. When one of the owners’ sons invited me for dinner, I was thrilled. Afterwards, we drove a distance to a spot overlooking a panorama of New York City. It was pitch black in the middle of nowhere. As I gazed in awe at the city lights off in the distance, the young man tried to kiss me, which I resisted. He tried to unbutton my blouse and became quite aggressive. We had a pr0longed battle, but I managed to fight him off. There was no way to leave the car since I hadn’t a clue where we were. We drove back in silence. The next day at work, we found ourselves in the same elevator; we

politely nodded to each other. I never said a word about it to anyone until now. I loved New York: just walking down Fifth Avenue looking at store windows was exciting. My shoes were worn down, but I didn’t have the money to resole them. As neither Jeannie nor I cooked, I often ate at the Horn & Hardart automat, where whole walls were lined with various foods in glass enclosures. Putting a quarter in one of the slots would open a little door so the dish could be taken out. I was barely scraping by, but didn’t mind. It was all part of a wonderful adventure. My parents’ friends, Lydia and George Gregory, had a nephew, Sam Josefowitz; they arranged for us to meet. Sam was interesting and well-read, had gone to high school in Switzerland, and graduated with an engineering degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He took it upon himself to educate me by taking me to theaters, museums, and out to dinner. I found him fascinating. We enjoyed each other’s company. After a year of dating, I accepted Sam’s proposal of marriage. As Sam’s father had just passed away, the wedding had to be minimal. We got married in Beverly Hills by a justice of the peace accompanied by my parents, aunt and uncle, and my younger brother, Alec, who was still in boarding school. The next day we flew back to New York to start our new life together. Natasha Josefowitz is the author of more than 20 books. She currently resides at White Sands Retirement Community in La Jolla.

Update your home décor quickly dramatically with window treatments Most homeowners are looking for ways to upgrade their home décor quickly and dramatically. One of the most overlooked pieces of home décor are the window treatments, which can alter your interior design more than you may realize. Take a look at these tips to see how you can update your home without compromising your style.

Homeowners are always on the lookout for ways to save money, and the monthly gas/electric bill can be a sore spot. Start saving with window treatments that keep your home well insulated. Drapery is great at controlling the amount of light that enters a room. During the summer, light entering a home will heat

the interior and cause the energy costs to rise. Closing drapes during the day can reduce those costs because drapery acts as an additional layer of insulation. Drapery also acts as a barrier from the outside temperature during the cold winter months. No matter the season, drapery is the perfect way to help keep you comfortable inside, regardless of what the weather is doing outside.

La Jolla law firm helps disabled veterans receive over $40 million from VA BY EMILY BLACKWOOD | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

While there is a multitude of struggles veterans face when they return back to civilian life, being compensated for their service-connected disabilities can be a major one. If they're unable to work due to their condition, lack of compensation from Veterans Affairs (VA) can lead to financial issues, food insecurity, and even homelessness.

That's why one La Jolla law firm is on a mission to help as many veterans as possible get the help they need. Since 2014, Veterans Law Group has helped hundreds of wounded warriors navigate the often difficult claims process to receive over $40 million towards their benefits. According to CEO Amanda Mineer, the group usually works with veterans dealing with orthopedic in-

Scripps Green Hospital first in county to beta test organ transport system BY ADAM BEHAR | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Scripps Green Hospital recently became the first hospital in San Diego County to try out a new method of transporting an organ, in this case a liver, for imminent transplant. Typically, donated livers are placed on ice inside an insulated container — essentially a cooler — and transported over relatively short distances to ensure their preservation. The new method, which was implemented by a team of doctors from Scripps earlier this summer, involves transporting the liver in a heated portable carrier instead of a cooler. The organ is connected to a pumping system that maintains a steady flow of blood from the donor along with necessary fluids. The hope is that this technique, which doctors call “warm organ perfusion,” will be a better, faster, and safer way of transporting organs. “Warm perfusion transportation has the potential,” said Scripps Clinic organ transplant surgeon Christopher Marsh, “to expand the supply of organs that are available to our patients and, as a result, improve the chances of a successful transplant and a positive long-term health outcome for more of our patients.” Marsh also heads the Scripps Center for Organ and Cell Transplantation. Because of the time clock, the journey that took a donor's liver from one hospital to another was fraught with urgency and suspense.

Early in the morning of June 26, Marsh traveled to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido where he recovered the donated liver, connected it to the transportation device’s pumping system, and traveled with the entire system to La Jolla in an ambulance. Their destination was Scripps Green Hospital, where Marsh removed the liver from the transportation device more than six hours after the organ was first attached, and prepared it for implant. Another Scripps Clinic surgeon, Dr. Randolph Schaffer III, then implanted the liver into a 36-year-old Las Vegas police officer who had been on the transplant waiting list for more than nine months. The effort was part of a clinical trial evaluating the transportation system, known as OCS (Organ Care System) Liver, at major transplant medical centers across the United States. While more than 8,200 people received a transplanted liver in the United States last year, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing, that figure falls far short of the 13,318 people who currently are on the waiting list and 12,000 new patients who are added to the list every year. “We are constantly challenged by a shortage of livers to meet the transplant needs of our patients,” said Marsh. More than 3,000 Scripps physicians treat over 750,000 patients each year. For more information, visit scripps.org.

Business 10 New Modernist Cuisine Gallery opens FRIDAY, JULY 26, 2019

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Tasende Gallery celebrates 40 years BY EMILY BLACKWOOD | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

BY EMILY BLACKWOOD | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Nathan Myhrvold — a photographer, chef, scientist and author best known for the book "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking" — recently opened his fourth Modernist Cuisine Gallery at 1241 Prospect St. in downtown La Jolla. The gallery features Myhrvold's unconventional style of cutting cooking equipment and food in half and then photographing it with custom-built lenses that put ingredients under a microscope. His first book came out in 2011, and three other books followed: “Modernist Cuisine at Home,” “The Photography of Modernist Cuisine,” and “Modernist Bread.” He's currently working on his fifth book: “Modernist Pizza.” His Modernist Cuisine galleries were born out of his fans' desires to purchase the photos from the popular books. "The idea for those cookbooks was to have really compelling photos because I always loved photography," he said. "Then people starting asking us if they could buy them. So after receiving enough of those questions, we looked into it and started our own galleries.” Myhrvold's other three galleries are located in Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Seattle. He said La Jolla was an easy choice for the next

location. "La Jolla's got all of the right characteristics," he said. "It's a place where people love food, and it's a place that has other photography galleries." "It also helps that my mother lives in La Jolla. So when I was visiting mom, I checked out the local scene there." While new cookbooks and more galleries are certainly on the horizon for Myhrvold, he said he just looks forward to expanding the original Modernist Cuisine concept and seeing where it can go. "Originally, the book was about cooking techniques that had come up in the last 20 years," he said.

"Most cookbooks that were out around that time, and today even, mostly focused on cooking techniques that were 30 or 40 years old. "But I've wound up writing about all types of cooking. So it's gotten a broader range than just a newer style." As for the gallery, Myhrvold hopes attendees will discover their favorite foods in a whole new light. "Art is an expression of thought, emotion, vision and lots of things together," he said. "I'm hoping people will find a vision of food that will strike a chord with them."

Forty years ago, Jose Tasende had his eye on a sculptural park in East Hampton on Long Island. He wanted a location for his international gallery, and since he already held a prominent presence in New York, it seemed like a good fit. But his wife, Helen Tasende, had other plans. With a little persistence, she convinced him that a small beachside town across the country in Southern California should be their home. So on June 1, 1979, he opened Tasende Gallery in La Jolla at 820 Prospect St. — and never looked back. "I do everything my wife says," he said with a smile. "'It's one of the conditions to remain married." Sadly, Helen Tasende died in 2010, but thanks to her persuasion, Tasende Gallery has grown to become a staple in La Jolla's artistic community. The gallery's doors first opened to feature famous sculptors like Giacomo Manzù and Henry Moore, whose semi-abstract bronze sculptures would later be installed at La Jolla Cove and the Salk Institute. Tasende also brought attention to groundbreaking painters like Matta, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Richard Pousette-Dart and Wayne Thiebaud. He's celebrating his gallery's 40th anniversary with an exhibit featuring the artists who best represented the

past four decades: Henry Moore, Giacomo Manzù, Eduardo Chillida, Matta, Wayne Thiebaud, Lynn Chadwick, Fernando Botero, Jose Luis Cuevas, Mark di Suvero, and Niki de Saint Phalle. When asked why he thinks he has continued to be successful after all these years, Tasende credits his ability to do things differently. "I swim against the current," he said. Tasende Gallery Director Mary Beth Petersen has a different idea. "It's his personality," she said. "He's very personable." Tasende Gallery's 40th anniversary exhibition is currently up. Stop by from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday or from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. For more information about the gallery, visit tasendegallery.com.

‘And away they go...’ Opening Day at Del Mar Fashion Files Diana Cavagnaro Del Mar Thoroughbred Club began its 80th year of racing on Wednesday, July 17, to a crowd of around 31,276. The featured race was the Runhappy Oceanside Stakes won by Jasikan from Ireland. Every year, this most anticipated day brings a crowd to see horses, hats, and fashion. It is the biggest fashion show of the year with attendees coming dressed to the nines and eager to be seen. Valerie Cooper looked gorgeous in a red Valentino with a fascinator from Australian designer Grace Millinery. Emma Zuckerman was wearing a Roland Mouret and topped it off with a Philip Treacy chapeau. Lee Goldberg and Dorothy Zizzl also wore fascinators by Philip Treacy. Cindy Minton chose to wear a Carol Bader design, M.J. Wittman wore a Diana Cavagnaro fascinator, Jenny Craig wore a hat from Fleur De Paris in New Orleans, and Daran Grim wore a bright yellow hat from LA designer Linda Hong. This year, there were so many better-dressed men. I especially liked the Alexander McQueen jacket, shirt, and tie with butterflies worn by Harry Coop-

The best I’ve done is second.” After bowing out of the competition due to the increasing number of intricate hats that he felt he couldn’t compete with, Polacek was once again inspired to enter. “I happened to walk by this rose garden where I live, and I saw this trestle and this swing,” he said. “I thought, ‘That’s an idea for a hat.’ And here it is.” On his cranium sat a miniature version of that trestle surrounded by roses, with a brown horse propped up inside and a sign that read “Swing’N

There were 300 contestants who vied for $6,000 in cash and prizes. The categories included Most Glamorous, Best Fascinator, Best Flowers, Best Racing Theme and Most Outrageous.

She was also the Grand Prize winner, taking home a Fairmont Grand Del Mar one-night stay and dinner for two at Addison restaurant, a $300 cash prize, two Del Mar.” And thanks to Polacek’s engineering abilities, the sign lit up. Another crowd pleaser was the mother-daughter duo Ampara and Shebon Brean. Ampara Brean’s hat was a Mexican-inspired sombrero with a flowing teal veil that had fake money glued to it. Her daughter went in a more aquatic direction and fastened a stuffed octopus on her head and surrounded it with other marine life. “We’ve been doing [the contest] together for 15 years, but we never win,” Ampara Brean laughed. “But it doesn’t matter. We like to be here and feel like celebrities because everyone wants to take pictures of us.”

First place winners were Christina Stutz (Best Racing), Paige Fohl (Best Fascinator), and Allison Karlstrand (Best Flower), who also was the DIANA CAVAGNARO/VILLAGE NEWS Grand Prize winner.

La Jolla artists to be featured at ArtWalk @ Liberty Station BY SAMANTHA WEBSTER | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Now in its 14th year, ArtWalk @ Liberty Station is returning to Ingram Plaza Aug. 10-11 with fine art, live music and interactive experiences. Sister festival to Mission Federal ArtWalk in Little Italy (San Diego’s original outdoor fine art festival), the event will feature more than 200 local, national, and international professional artists — including La Jolla-based artists Korin Chapman and Gail Titus. Bird Rock resident Korin Chapman is a mixed media artist who draws her inspiration from the natural world, aiming to recreate the depth and mesmerizing spectacles of different landscapes. Her recent focus is on creating realistic aerial paintings by hand-sculpting rocks and landforms and then pouring layers of tinted resin down to recreate the depth and realism in her aerial oceans. “This is my first time showing in the ArtWalk at Liberty Station,” she said. “However, I have been to it many times. I am excited to have my own booth, be a part of the show, meet new people, and see how the community reacts to my work.

“I like my visitors to feel a sense of wonder and comfort when looking at my art. There are hidden details in every piece that draw people into the art.

Backyard Renaissance to bring magic to La Jolla Playhouse’s Shank Theatre BY SAMANTHA WEBSTER | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Backyard Renaissance returns to the La Jolla Playhouse’s Shank Theatre to perform Shelagh Stephenson’s “An Experiment with an Air Pump.” The small, young company was appointed as the Playhouse’s resident theater company in 2018, and the Playhouse extended them this opportunity again this year. Founded by husband and wife Francis Gercke and Jessica John, Backyard Renaissance is a theater company that is committed to making “art to the gut,” or art that hits you in the gut whether it is with laughter or a deep, emotional connection. Currently in its fourth season, Backyard Renaissance produces three mainstage shows per season that are paired with three

“unleashed events.” The unleashed events are unique, one-night theater experiences, such as live musical mad libs or live lip-sync face offs, which are designed to be inclusive and fun for all audiences. Backyard Renaissance aims to make their audiences feel as if are a part of the theatrical experiences they offer. “We wanted to create a space much more like when you come home and your dogs greet you,” says Jessica John, executive director of the theater group whose mascot is a bulldog donning a Shakespearean ruff. The La Jolla Playhouse’s Resident Theatre Program is the pet project of Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley. He created this opportunity so that the Playhouse could mentor small and promis-

ing theater companies and provide them with more resources and visibility. “We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity. It’s certainly a wonderful growing experience for our company,” says John. Next month, Backyard Renaissance’s production of Shelagh’s Stephenson’s “An Experiment with an Air Pump” will open at the Playhouse’s Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre. An ode to Tom Stoppard’s “Arcadia,” Stephenson’s play toggles between the years 1799 and 1999 as it explores questions around scientific discovery, human subject research, and cloning. In addition to her role as Backyard Renaissance’s executive director, John will also take on the role of the Scottish maid, Isobel, in the Stephenson play. John looks forward

to using the Shank as a performance space. “This play deserves a space where you can create some magic. We switch back and forth and go from moment to magical moment, and the Shank really provides us a

beautiful venue to do that.” While Backyard Renaissance makes magic onstage, John anticipates that the play’s morals will resonate with the audience, “This piece is very tangible. Anybody could come and experience these scientific questions, like the characters, and feel a part of the dynamic. There’s something for everybody to enjoy.” “An Experiment with an Air Pump” opens Aug. 8 in the Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre and runs until Aug. 25. Also at the Shank Theatre, Backyard Renaissance will hold its unleashed event on Aug. 12, which is a camp B-movie staged reading of the film “Queen of Outer Space.” To learn more about Backyard Renaissance and their upcoming events, visit backyardrenaissance.com.

Children with craniofacial differences come together at Camp Cosmos BY EMILY BLACKWOOD | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

When Paxton Melashenko was 7 years old, he was self-conscious about the earto-ear scar on his head from a reconstructive skull surgery he underwent as an infant. Being diagnosed with craniosynostosis — a condition where the sutures of the brain close prematurely — meant multiple surgeries for Paxton. Something that up until this past year, his mother said he was ashamed of. “[The scar] can now be easily covered by hair, but he’s always been very, very self-conscious about not wanting it to be exposed,” said his mother, Tiffany Melashenko. “He didn’t want people asking him about it. We were trying to help him understand his condition and embrace it, but we were struggling.” That is, until they went to

Camp Cosmos. Hosted by local nonprofit ConnectMed International, Camp Cosmos is a free therapeutic and recreational day camp that brings together children with craniofacial differences and their families. Held this year at Dan McKinney Family YMCA in La Jolla, the camp features inflatables, giant Jenga, lawn games, and traditional carnival activities as well as group therapy for both the children and their parents. Tiffany Melashenko said that as soon as they arrived to the inaugural camp last year, her son started pointing out other children who looked like him. “He kept whispering, ‘Mom, she has a scar like me,’ or ‘He has a scar like me,’” Melashenko said. “It was amazing. After camp he continued to talk about it."

The inaugural Camp Cosmos by ConnectMed International.

In the fall following the camp, Paxton had to have another surgery that required him to shave his head and expose his scar. Instead of hiding it, he went to school with a shaved head and talked about his scar in class. Now inspired by his own story, Paxton also made more than 50 care packages for other kids

McNally leads new wave of Vikings in American Legion play BY ED PIPER | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Left-hander Owen McNally led the next generation of La Jolla High baseball players with a six-inning, two-hit performance in a 3-2 squeaker over Patrick Henry in the opening playoff game for the San Diego American Legion. But it was a returning Viking, senior Calvin Hyytinen, who drove in the winning run in the top of the seventh inning against the Trojans, named after a Marine military plane, on a groundout double play to shortstop. “I walked the first guy,” said a relieved McNally, speaking of Patrick Henry’s leadoff batter, Ryan Miller, who led the high school team this spring with a.407 average. “But then I started pitching. I could feel myself settle down.” After giving up two runs in the bottom of the first, McNally, a junior who went 6-2 with a 2.47 ERA for the LJHS junior varsity in the spring, shut out Henry the rest of the way, throwing 104 pitches. “I maxed out at 90 pitches in a game against Patrick Henry,”

he related. Nine walks used up a lot of his pitches. Viking Legion coach Jake Grosz, who has seen growth in his players over the monthlong season in what he calls the “intangibles” — such as noticing fielders’ positioning, tendencies by opposing players — said, “They’ve gained confidence, knowing they competed with one of the best teams in San Diego County, the team that won the local Legion playoffs last year and went to the state championship game.” Other younger players who have further blossomed with the non-school competition this summer include Simon Baker, an infielder who scored the winning run on Hyytinen’s grounder after singling to lead off the seventh (.320 JV); catcher Cole Duffy, who drove a hit down the right field line to advance Baker to third (.278 Legion league games,.304 JV); Trey Metz, who closed out the game in relief by pitching a cliff-hanging seventh, striking out pinch hitter Kyle Wilsie on an 0-2 fastball with runners on first and third (5-3.132 WHIP on JV,.308 Legion league);

Connor Hobbs, who got aboard after Hyytinen’s groundout, but was left stranded (.333 Legion league,.365 JV); and freshman Jared Swerdlow. First baseman Beau Brown (.278 Legion league), infielder Drake Damasco (.250 Legion league), infielder Ryan Lancaster (.286 JV), and first baseman Luke Roberts also chalked up valuable innings in the field and at-bats that should bear further fruit in their play next year for the school varsity under Coach Gary Frank. “It feels dope,” exulted Hyytinen right after the playoff win. “This game’s a big rivalry game with Patrick Henry. We played them three times in league.” The best thing about playing Legion ball, he said, is “playing baseball with my friends. The atmosphere is way different (from school ball) — 100 percent different.” Veteran returners from the varsity include infielder Cooper McNally, infielder Noah Brown, infielder Jake Klimkiewicz, outfielder Johnny Meyerott, DH Jack Liebesman, pitcher/outfielder Devin Brown, and pitcher Hobie Hood.

who were undergoing surgeries of their own at the same hospital. “It changed completely from hiding it to embracing it and bring proud of it,” his mom said. “It was really amazing.” That change, according to Melashenko, was all thanks to the community and support

he felt at Camp Cosmos. “He struggles with some gross motor skills, so some of the obstacle courses were difficult for him,” she said. “The kids there jumped in and helped him through it. It made him feel so special because he wasn’t alone." ConnectMed executive director Rita Abbati Albert said the idea for the camp came from the organization’s founder and UCSD chief of plastic surgery Dr. Amanda Gosman. She felt there was a real need to not only treat the physical health of the patients, but their emotional and mental health as well. As it turns out, parents also need that fun and therapeutic outlet. “Last year, I was able to listen to part of the parent group discussion, and it was really powerful,” Albert said. “Any surgery on a child is of course

traumatic, but the surgeries that children with craniofacial differences go through are a particular subset because most of the time there are multiple surgeries; like several over several years.” "It’s very traumatic on a lot of levels, and you have to kind of push it aside just to get through everything,” said Melashenko. “A lot of the times, you feel like people just don’t understand what we’ve been through. So being with other parents who have been through something similar, there’s just a peace that comes with it to know that you’re not alone.” The second annual Camp Cosmos will be held on July 27, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Dan McKinney Family YMCA, 8355 Cliffridge Ave. To donate to ConnectMed or register for the camp, visit connectmed.org.

Drew Brees talks flag football at LJHS BY ED PIPER | LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Drew Brees, the future Hall of Fame quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, spoke to 35 first-to-eighth-graders in the lead-up to the fall opening of a new flag football league at La Jolla High. He was personable, articulate and warm. “I didn’t start playing tackle football until ninth grade,” said the 40-year-old winner of Super Bowl XLIV in 2010. “I felt ahead of the game in flag football [as a quarterback] passing the football and knowing about routes. I developed confidence and a real love for football.” The appearance, held in the visitors bleachers at Edwards Field, was timed to build enthusiasm among league registrants to this point (LJHS coach Tyler Roach said they’re at 100 sign-ups), as well as to sign autographs and allay fears parents or the kids might have about future tackle football involvement. “I think a large percentage of participants in this league [a similar league in Carmel Valley has 800 youth after two years] won’t transfer to tackle, but that’s not the point,” said Brees, a former quarterback for the San Diego Chargers until he sustained a serious shoulder injury, in answer to a question. He emphasized the opportunity to learn football fundamentals, a family-oriented atmosphere, and a fun experience at Saturday games. With only one hour of practice per week, the goal,

he said, is “light lifting” for parents who don’t need to be further burdened in taking their children (the league is co-ed, though every red “FNA Football N America” shirt was worn by a boy that this reporter saw) to yet another activity. Brees, during the Q&A time, made disputable comments defending the safety of tackle football these days. “I watched videos of [pro] football games years ago,” he said under a sunny La Jolla sky. It was much more violent then, he asserted. “They don’t allow you to make those hits anymore.” “I think we’ve come a long ways” in safety, he said, listing changes in special teams, “we don’t have two-a-days,” and concussion protocols. “I wouldn’t let my kids [his three boys are his motivation for starting the flag football leagues in Louisiana three years ago] play tackle until middle school. My kids are

playing different sports,” including rugby. Brees said his experience growing up playing baseball and tennis gave him transferable skills that helped him among his sports, including swinging both ways and moving laterally in tennis. Luke Cripe, a tall sixth-grader entering Muirlands Middle School this fall, told a reporter before Brees’ appearance, “I’m excited for this football camp, and to learn to play football better.” Asked what skills he wanted to improve, as he paused in tossing a football to another boy, Cripe replied, “Like control over the ball when throwing, and some [passing] routes.” At 5-foot4-inches, the 11-yearold is taller than many of his classmates. Games are slated to run Aug. 24 to Nov. 9. The format is sixon-six, with players wearing a flag belt. The ball can be hiked to the side, Brees noted.
