60 years of BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS In honor of a milestone birthday, Bird Rock Elementary School (BRE) has been preparing for an unrivaled celebration and open house on May 24 — a party that has been 60 years in the making. Since its establishment in 1951, BRE has been an integral part of the fabric in the tight-knit Bird Rock neighborhood. The school is more than a place of learning. It is a cornerstone where longtime residents began their friendships and share fond memories, a rallying point when it comes to difficult times for schools, and a place where all people, young and old, can learn the meaning of community. Over the years — through the efforts of countless volunteers — Bird Rockers have helped ensure their local elementary school has not only survived through difficult times, but has thrived in spite of them. This year’s efforts were no different. Under the leadership of Celebrate 60! Committee chairwoman and kindergarten teacher Lorene LaCava and a dedicated group of volunteers, the school has undergone a number of campus beautification projects, BRE fundraising efforts and celebratory community events throughout the year to pay homage to the school’s 60 successful years at its La Jolla Hermosa Avenue location. “Celebrate 60! has been a school yearlong opportunity for our entire community to celebrate 60 years of excellence in education and community building,” said LaCava. Festivities began in July with the neighborhood’s annual Fourth of July Parade, which was appropriately themed “Happy Days on Beaumont” to commemorate the school’s inception in 1951. Community celebrations continued at the Birdstock music festival, where guests made a mark on their neighborhood school by purchasing tiles for the Waverly gate BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS entrance and help raise much-needed Every year, the outgoing fifth-grade funds for the class at Bird Rock Elementary creates school. a work of art to donate to the school.

Teachers, students, parents and local civic leaders joined hands early in the morning on May 14 in a unified effort to urge the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) to stop nearly 1,700 teaching and staff positions from getting the ax. Rallies were held at five schools — La Jolla High School (LJHS), Muirlands Middle School, and La Jolla, Torrey Pines and Bird Rock elementary schools — to demonstrate solidarity against proposed teacher cuts that could potentially blow classroom sizes up to nearly 50 students and affect teaching quality in schools across the district. “They’re thinking about pink slipping one out of every five educators in the district,” said Port of San Diego Commissioner Scott Peters at the LJHS rally. “That’s just not a way to educate kids, and that’s not a way to compete in the brainpower economy … If the country’s going to be competitive in the future, we can’t let a generation of kids go by without providing them a good education.” Peters stressed the detrimental long-term effects that would result if SDUSD moves forward with the proposed teacher and staff cuts.

Spotlight on people: Sebastian Capella remains youthful through art BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS At 84 years old, world-renowned Spanish-born painter Sebastian Capella still radiates a youthful vigor. Whether it stems from the genuine enjoyment he gets with every stroke of his paintbrush, the ever-expanding repertoire of knowledge he continues to reap from his students or from the colors that surround him in his art studio each day, Capella’s vivacity permeates any room he sets foot in — a characteristic that does not go unnoticed by students in his twice-weekly private art classes in La Jolla. Students tend to gather around Capella when he is at work turning blank canvas into masterpieces. As he strolls about the room during the 4hour class, he occasionally picks up a student’s paintbrush to show students how to structure a figure’s anatomy or fully embrace the wide range of colors available to them on their palettes. Capella’s eyes may have lost focus with age, but they have sharpened with wisdom. His hands may demonstrate an occasional shake in pulse, but each
paint stroke is more certain than ever. Only years at the helm of thousands of easels could have led Capella to where he is today — the recipient of a multitude of international accolades, an acclaimed artist who has painted numerous portraits for a high echelon of world leaders and a man with no regrets. Even from a young age, Capella knew what he wanted to do. “When I was five years old and people asked me, ‘What do you want to become when you are older?’, I said, ‘I would like to be a painter of paintings,’” he said. “I don’t know why I came up with this idea, [but] I’ve always had it in the back of my mind.” After going to art exhibitions and seeing portrait painters in movies, he could not be enticed by any other subject. “I couldn’t be a doctor — I don’t like blood, I don’t like people dying, things like that. No way,” he said. “I think I was a portrait painter by nature.” When he was 21, Capella finished his military service, attended the School of Fine Arts in Valencia for five years
and was one of the few who graduated from the school. “We started with 70 people — my own wife was [one], it’s where I met her — but we only finished 14,” he said. “I think I’m the only one making a living from my own work.” After completing his studies, including two more years studying anatomy and perspective in Madrid, Capella came to San Diego. “I first came to San Diego with $400 by myself,” he said. “I left my family in Valencia and it took me 14 months before I could bring them back.” During that time, Capella would paint portraits, bathroom walls and decor for money until he was finally able to bring his wife and three daughters back with him, thanks to a position at the University of San Diego, where he worked for seven years as a painting instructor and assistant professor. “When I came here, I liked San Diego so much,” he said. “I told my family, ‘If I get lost, you have to find me in San Diego.’”
And with the exception of annual trips back to Spain, he has been here ever since, teaching private painting lessons first in the attic of the San Diego Art institute in Balboa Park, and now in his athome art studio in La Jolla, where he has lived and worked since the early 1970s. “To me, California is the best in the United States, and the best of California is San Diego, and the best of San Diego is La Jolla,” he said. “I wouldn’t change my life at all. If I had start again, I would do the same thing.” La Jolla Village News: How would you describe your artistic style? Sebastian Capella: I’ve always been a figurative painter. I started as any fig-

urative painter does, I guess, doing impressionism. I started as an impressionist, but little by little, I get looser and looser and looser ... I paint looser because I have no choice now anyway because I cannot get involved with details, but I have a power and security and control over the colors that I never had before and this is very rewarding. LJVN: How would you describe your teaching style? SC: When I’m teaching, I’m teaching in different ways to different people. Each one has required a different treatment, and I have to adapt myself to the student. The principles are the same, but the way to accomplish that job with every student is totally different ... I am very specific and very concrete. I want specific questions and I want to give specific answers. This is real teaching. It’s not folding your arms ... I show them how to do it. LJVN: What inspires you as an artist? SC: I love any painting that is good, regardless of the style. How do you explain that I love Velasquez, and at the same time I like Van Gogh? They have nothing to do with each other, [but with] anything that is well done, I feel excitement. Not excitement that comes from the bucket, but excitement that comes from the heart. LJVN: What is your biggest accomplishment? SC:Teaching is very, very rewarding. You feel that people are thanking you at every second because of the effort that you make and this makes you want to make more of an effort. I feel that it’s helping people. This was my success here, and my enjoyment at the same time to be able to help so many — maybe thousands of students — here ... I learn a lot by facing the problems of everybody else. I have so many people in my life and its so gratifying. LJVN: What have been your biggest challenges? SC:The most difficult thing is to paint portraits. It’s very challenging because you have to fight for everything and with everybody. You fight for the technique. You fight for the drawing. You fight for the lightness. You fight for the quality of the work, and then you have to fight for the owner of the portrait because they want to become younger ... I used to paint portraits. At that time, I was very young and had a good pulse. I stopped painting portraits for this reason — I don’t have the authority and power I want to put in my strokes. With SEE CAPELLA, Page 10

REMEMBERING JUNIOR SEAU Heartfelt tributes from friends, family, players at Qualcomm celebration of life BY DAVE SCHWAB | VILLAGE NEWS Fifty-five. The number was in huge block letters on the field, on jerseys and indelibly etched in the hearts and minds of a few thousand fans who turned out to pay tribute to fallen Chargers hometown hero Tiaina “Junior” Seau during a celebration of life memorializing him May 11 at Qualcomm Stadium. At the end of the evening, the No. 55 was retired in honor of the standout linebacker and University of Southern California alum who played 13 seasons in San Diego and whose foundation has raised $4 million for charity, never to be worn again by another Charger player. Though the occasion was somber, the dialogue among ex-Chargers and community members euologizing Seau — including Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts, star running back “LT” LaDainian Tomlinson, linebacker Billy Ray Smith, ex-coach Bobby “Boss” Ross and San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders was uplifting. It was a remembrance of the player and man whose presence, which ended prematurely with suicide this month, ironically embodied life and the passion to live. Event Master of Ceremonies Miles McPherson, a former Chargers safety and senior pastor of The Rock Church in Point Loma, asked fans to reflect on Seau’s impact on their lives. “Identify one way his life is going to
change your life,” McPherson implored. Pointing out the name Seau is “royalty in this town,” McPherson acknowledged the ceremony was to celebrate his “life and legacy.” “Your spirit and your passion will always be with us on Earth, No. 55,” said McPherson. McPherson said San Diegans should all take something away from Seau’s tragic death. “Look somebody in the eyes,” he said. “Let them know you love them.” Characterizing Seau as a “standout human being,” McPherson said Seau was an inspiration not only for his playing skills but for his “love for people.” Among those there to honor Seau was Laurette Schwab of San Carlos. “I just loved watching him at all the games and we're just here for the celebration of life,” said Schwab. “He was a very special young man.” A face in the crowd painted with Chargers’ gold and blue and with the No. 55 displayed prominently was Robert Romas of Chula Vista. “He’s the epitome of a special person,” Romas said. “He’s a part of us. It’s all about Junior.” In discussing some of San Diego’s greatest former sports stars present for the Seau celebration of life — Fouts, NBA legend Bill Walton, Padres superslugger Tony Gwynn, Tomlinson and Smith — Sanders said Seau will always be central to the conversation. “Junior was the most charismatic,”
said Sanders. “We’ll always remember the enormous force of his personality.” Having once asked Seau how to properly pronounce the last name, Fouts said Seau told him, “Se-au, because when I hit them, they ‘Say ow.’” But Fouts said Seau was “more than just the numbers.” “He was the ultimate leader, the ultimate teammate,” he said. Billy Ray Smith agreed. “He was a great friend and a great teammate,” said the former Chargers linebacker and now radio-TV personality. “I will miss you forever.” The praise kept coming, including the assessment of ex-Chargers coach Bobby Ross. “I’m proud to be a Charger too,” said Ross, who added that Seau was a “special player” and a “special person” who never took a game off. “He was always positive, upbeat. We’ll never forget that smile.” Pointing to heaven, Tomlinson lauded Seau as a “good and loyal friend.” “He told me the true meaning of giving, which I’m still doing today because of him,” Tomlinson said adding, “He is still in everybody he touched. Junior lives through us.” Riding home on the trolley, John Silva of Point Loma said the ceremony was “great,” and that it was satisfying to see ex-Chargers and former coach Bobbie Ross from the 1990s again. Asked whether he thought the tragic way Seau died detracted from the

F, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. • LJTC President Cindy Greatrex thanked trustee Egon Kafka for donating his time to run the LJTC office and trustee Ruth Yansick for donating funds to replace an old laptop in the LJTC office. • District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner recognized John Weinstein, Rick Wildman, Egon Kafka, Rob Hildt, Ann Kerr Bache and Philip Forgione for their years of service to the community serving as LJTC members. “What you all do every single day is incredibly important,” said Lightner. • LJTC trustees approved the establishment of a Special Events Subcommittee for fundraising and planning efforts for upcoming Town Council events, starting with the “Dancing with the La Jolla Stars” fundraiser. Trustee Rob Hildt was made chairman of the committee, and member Ron Jones will serve as co-chair for the preparation of the event. • Trustees unanimously supported the upcoming Taste of the Cove event on Sept. 6. • Trustee Nancy Gardner wrote a letter to Mayor Jerry Sanders on behalf of the trustees to oppose the presence of tables near the Children’s Pool, stating that the LJTC believes that no tables should be permitted to occupy the site, whether for commercial vendors or otherwise. • Deal Me In Today owner Debbie Arnau was sworn in as LJTC’s newest trustee.
• La Jolla celebrities and local dance instructors will team up for a lively “Dancing with the La Jolla Stars” fundraising event in early September, announced LJTC trustee Rob Hildt. “It’s going to be a fun night,” he said. “There are a number of professional dance studios that are here in La Jolla that will donate their time and donate the individual instructors who will come out and team up with a local celebrity — someone that we would probably recognize from the celebrity pages — and they would put on dance routines.” Local emcee Ron Jones, “The Voice of La Jolla,” produced a similar fundraising event for the La Jolla Stage Company in 2007, which was met with great success. “The idea is to bring forth all the Society Page people that we see and know and love and to involve them,” he said. “People were riveted to their chairs because the rapid pace kept it moving and because of the wild variety. It was an absolute success, and it can be again given that 5-year cushion.” The evening event will also likely include a silent auction and other live entertainment. • Julie Duepner, vice president of Edcomm Group Banker’s Academy and financial services expert, was appointed as the LJTC’s new executive director. “I’ve known Julie for 13 or 14 years,” said 2nd Vice President John Weinstein. “I couldn’t recommend her more highly, City, county and and we’re very lucky to get her as a vol- state news unteer.” • County Supervisor Ron Roberts and Duepner will conduct community rela- the Air Pollution Control District invite tions, marketing, mailing and member- residents to trade in their gas-powered ship renewal from the Town Council’s lawnmowers for new rechargeable batoffice, located at 7734 Herschel Ave. Ste.

The committee will discuss current workforce realities and identify policies to create an environment conducive for job creation. • In light of Military Appreciation Month, Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher has partnered with community organizations for a “We Care for Our Troops” care package drive for active military personnel. Items can be donated at Fletcher’s district office, located at 9909 Mira Mesa Blvd., Ste. 130, until May 31. • Fletcher and Roberts wrote letters to the U.S. Postal Service in support of the Save Our La Jolla Post Office committee’s efforts to stop the proposed sale and relocation of La Jolla’s Wall Street post office. • U.S. Reps. Susan Davis (D-CA) and Duncan Hunter (R-CA) recently introduced the Fairness for Military Homeowners Act, bipartisan-crafted legislation that would allow military homeowners to refinance mortgages on a principle residence while serving at a duty station that prevents them from occupying the home. • Standard & Poor’s recently raised San Diego’s credit rating two notches from A to AA- due to strong city financial management practices and improvements to the city’s financial statements, which are more accurate, timely and transparent, announced Lighter. “The higher credit rating means that the city will be able to borrow money at a lower interest rate for infrastructure SEE LJTC, Page 6
CONTINUED FROM Page 1 “It would make classroom sizes larger, the amount of attention that a teacher can give is less, teachers get overworked, and, as time goes on, people don’t go into teaching. We just don’t show enough respect for the profession. I think we really have to get our priorities in shape,” he said. “Obviously, the state is upside-down, and the federal government needs to do what it can, but it needs to start right here.” Amid sign-wielding protesters and the sound of encouraging honks from passing drivers at LJHS’s protest, ASB President Erik Vanstrum and a number of his fellow classmates chanted words of praise and support for their beloved teachers. “We love our teachers here at La Jolla High School,” Vanstrum said. “I can’t imagine going to a school with classrooms filled with so many kids. It’s already hard as it is.” LJHS math teacher Patricia Thomas made a plea to SDUSD board members to shift their focus away from teacher cuts and onto the future of the education system. “How can we fulfill our mission to prepare our community’s students for college if only 20 percent of our faculty — 33 percent of the math department alone — are laid off?” she asked. “Change your focus. You were elected to educate our students. These pink slips are not the way.” U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, too, made an appearance at the LJHS rally, challenging state legislators to stand up for the future of California’s education. “We need to support our teachers. We need to support our students and their education,” he said. “As a state, we’ve gone down from the first in per

capita funding to about 50. That is unacceptable. That threatens your future. We’re going to say ‘no.’” At the SDUSD’s meeting on May 15, board members emphasized the serious budget challenges the district faces — with a more than $100 million projected budget shortfall next school year — due to increasingly fewer funds trickling down from the state. Despite the difficult times, the board members said they are still committed to maintaining “a quality school in every neighborhood” and will continue to fight for students’ education. “The state does not have money,” said board member Shelia Jackson, plainly. “People think that public schools are safe. They are not safe. With the state deficit looming and getting larger, it is not going to be easy for us to maintain the staff that we have.” Betsy Mueller, president of the LJHS Parent Teachers Association, urged anyone who cares about quality public education to show their support at SDUSD’s upcoming public board meetings. “We want to give the board a loud, clear message that the entire La Jolla community cares deeply about our children’s education,” she said. The SDUSD Board of Education has until May 25 to deliver final teacher and staff layoff notices.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Campaign signs running rampant once again I have noticed another plague of political signs has arrived in our city. There are literally dozens put up illegally in the public right of way; stuck in fences, taped to poles and installed on our roadsides. This not only shows a total disregard for our community, but also the law prohibiting this practice. Some of the candidates have lowered themselves to putting stickers on our public signs as well.

liked the idea of a tree mosaic, which was, of course, the most labor intensive. But I was really excited to do it.” In January, with the plans for the project laid, Cunningham invited all the fifth-grade classes to her home studio — a short walk from the school. In her studio were a kiln and art supplies, and she and 93 children spent a day making thousands of tiles. “We had quite an experience — it was really a fun day,” she said. “It was kind of a ‘clay-palooza,’ making all the bark, leaves, birds and grass for the piece. I really wanted the kids to make things, because sometimes you get only the adults making these projects. I wanted the kids to be a part of it.” After that, Cunningham started the process of cleaning and firing all the tiles individually. On one day, she invited all the parents over to glaze them. When the final touches were made, she asked artist Jane Wheeler to help her install it. “It really turned out so much better than I thought it would,” she said. “I wanted it to look kind of alive, almost organic. I picked out the colors, but I did-

n’t control how the parents glazed, and because some glazed heavier than others, it made for darker and lighter colors. I also didn’t control how the kids put their names on [the leaves]. I wanted it to be their mark.” The effort, Cunningham said, was truly a community event. LaCava conceived of the original idea, which Cunningham fine-tuned. The entire class was involved in the execution, and the result, she said, couldn’t have been better. “For me, it was really exciting to see I could have this vision and execute it, and I was happy with the results,” she said. “Every time you do a project like that as an artist, you grow and learn, especially if it’s a challenge. It was great for everybody involved. The kids, and maybe even some of the parents, have probably never made anything like this before.” The best part, Cunningham said, was the feeling of accomplishment at the end. There’s nothing like an enthusiastic group of children, she said, to make you feel special. “Installing a piece of art at a school is the best, because you’re like a rock star,” she said. “Kids would come back on a daily basis to check on things. And it wasn’t just the fifth graders, it was the whole school. The would ooh and ahh —

IN THE SCHOOLS SPORTSupdate LJHS baseball rounding out regular season The La Jolla High School varsity baseball team improved its overall record to 17-9 and its league record to 7-3 last week. The Vikings bounced back from a 5-0 defeat against Point Loma on May 7 and swept the Mission Bay Buccaneers in two games later in the week. La Jolla broke open a close game by scoring seven runs in the fourth inning, cruising to an 8-2 win over Mission Bay. Alex Eliopulos had three hits and two RBIs, while Austin Burke had a key twoRBI double, and Bobby Schuman had two hits. Eric Pitrofsky pitched six strong innings to earn his San Diego County best eighth win of the season. The Vikings beat Mission Bay again in the rematch. The game was scoreless through the first six innings, but La Jolla was able to push two runs across the plate without the benefit of a hit in the top of the last inning. Austin Burke allowed only one hit in six innings on the hill to pick up the win. Tyson Youngs tossed a scoreless seventh inning, claiming his fourth save of the year. Brett Volger collected two of La

long haul over several days. The boys’ varsity team placed first on the second day of the conference, played at Balboa High School. Sophomores Ben Doyle and Cohen placed first and second, respectively, and junior Will Strauss placed fourth in the initial round. Cohen advanced to the semifinal round, played at Torrey Pines, where he won against St. Augustine High School’s Luis Calderon. In the finals, Cohen played a tough match on the south course of Torrey Pines Golf Course, a course that favors players with long drives. He took the win against senior Jake Meloche from Coronado High, a 6-foot-3-inch player known for his powerful drives. Cohen shot the lowest score in a single match this season, scoring 32 in the nine-hole match against Scripps Ranch High at Riverwalk Presidio Golf Course.

Quarterbacking Care Older patients require a different coordinated approach to healthcare that balances their medical needs along with the circumstances of their lives. A majority of older persons have at least one chronic disease that they manage. At the same time a very high number of these people also have difficulty performing basic and more advanced activities of daily living, which often complicates matters. If a doctor gives this person a prescription, it is unknown if the prescription will be filled, taken correctly if at all, which does not do any good for their disease process. The goals of someone who are functioning well in their 80-90’s are most likely going to be different from the persons who are wheelchair bound or dependent on others for their care. Addressing these concerns realistically is the responsibility of a healthcare advocate. A comprehensive history which includes an assessment of medical and cognitive status, determining depression, anxiety and physical abilities, along with fall risks and a gait/balance evaluation and home safety needs help to determine the quality of life/well being of each individual. Achieving their goals can be difficult without knowing the reality of their situations at home. Many acute situations present differently in the elderly. For instance, an older person with an infection may not have a fever or an elevated white blood cell account. A patient who is cognitively impaired might seem lethargic when they may be experiencing a stroke or a heart attack. Geriatric care managers can assist the older population with quarterbacking their care in a coordinated way. They make sure that all aspects of the patient’s health and well being are being addressed. Call Innovative Healthcare Consultants for assistance to meet your goals. 760 731-1334, www.innovativehc.com or www.nurseinyourpocket.com

LJHS alumnus modernizing the funeral arrangement industry BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS The death of a family member or loved one is a heart wrenching experience in and of itself. Add the burden of organizing funeral arrangements and the experience can be downright daunting. Three years ago, 39-year-old La Jolla High School alumnus Dominic Mazzone and his business partner, Eric Vandermeersch, launched Basic Funerals and Cremation Choices — the first licensed, full-service Internet-based funeral company in the U.S. The idea behind the business is to make the funeral arrangement experience as private, painless and affordable as possible, while providing high quality, personalized services to suit the deceased’s best wishes. “Basicfunerals.com offers the same exact services you would get from a traditional funeral parlor at about half the price,” said Mazzone. “Families love the fact that they can pick and choose their funeral arrangements instead of having to purchase an expensive package they don’t need.” Due to low overhead expenses, Basic
Funerals is able to pass the savings along to families when they need it most with cremation options starting at less than $800, burial and gravesite services starting at $1,350, and a basic funeral service with casket starting at $2,200. Vandermeersch, a 15-year veteran in the industry, first became interested in launching a career in the funeral arrangement industry after seeing how well one particular funeral director took care of his family years ago. By the age of 20, he was already a licensed funeral director with the goal of creating a funeral company that gave people what they wanted without pushing unnecessary additions that ramp up the cost. “Funeral services have traditionally been for the benefit of funeral homes and not the families they we’re supposed to be serving,” said Mazzone. “Also, traditional funeral providers didn’t embrace the Internet at all because it was counter to their business model, i.e. forcing people to come into the funeral home so they can push them into a bigger service and more expensive products.”
Dominic Mazzone (left) and Eric Vandermeersch are revolutionizing the funeral arrangement industry with their online-based business, Basic Funerals and Cremation Choices. Courtesy photo
The duo has changed the face of the industry for the consumer, making the experience more transparent and offering more affordable choices. Experienced funeral directors like Vandermeersch are equipped to handle all the necessary arrangements including transport from the place of death and filling out all required documentation, including CPP forms and proof of death certificates. “We are there for you from start to finish,” said Mazzone. Easy-to-use contact methods — including a real-time online chat option or a 24-hour phone line — connect family members to professional funer-

al directors from the privacy and comfort of their own home at any time of day. Funeral arrangements can also be made in-person — either in the family member’s home or at any other arrangement location. “It’s a concept whose time has come,” said Vandermeersch. “The funeral industry operates in the 21st century with a 17th-century model. Basic Funerals finally gives families a choice, so they can make funeral arrangements that truly fit their needs and budget.” For support or guidance in making funeral arrangements, visit www.basicfunerals.com or call (877) 999-2895.

Peri Peri set to spice up La Jolla’s restaurant scene Native South African and 20-year restaurateur William Sussman is bringing a piece of the vibrant colors and tantalizing spices of southern African cuisine to the heart of La Jolla with the opening of his latest restaurant concept, Peri Peri, in early June. The name “Peri Peri,” which describes a small, fiery chili pepper, says it all. With such a spicy muse, the cuisine is certain to pack a punch. “Peri peri is the obvious standout. It’s both a sauce and a method of cooking,” said Jennifer Jenkins, Peri Peri spokeswoman. “The sauce is based on the African birds-eye chili, but it’s so much more than just another hot sauce with many ingredients and layers of flavor. Good peri peri — whatev-
er the heat — will always complement and never dominate.” With the hot chili pepper acting as the prominent centerpiece in menu items ranging from prawns to chicken livers, and with a plethora of the region’s authentic specialty dishes to choose from, Sussman assures he is bringing cultural cuisine like La Jollans have never tasted before. “The restaurant is unlike any other restaurant in La Jolla — or San Diego County for that matter,” Jenkins said. “Diners will be introduced to a variety of enticing new flavors and textures that can’t be found anywhere else.”
SEE AMICI’S, Page 13
Some of executive chef Abel Gutierrez’s must-try dishes include flame-grilled Peri Peri prawns and other fresh seafood fare, authentic — yet unpronounceable — casseroles and skewers, and aromatic sides like the cardamomand cumin-seasoned Jasmine rice. “This is just the concept I’m confident La Jollans will embrace,” Sussman said. “Ethnic dining continues to grow in popularity, and Peri Peri brings an experience unlike any other.” The restaurant — which will take over the current Vigilucci’s location — will come alive with bold colors and warm rustic tones dominant in the
southern African region. “Southern Africa’s natural colors are rich,” he said. “We want to reflect the naturally welcoming aspects of the region with a setting that blends a sense of community with a unique dining experience.” Peri Peri will house three large tables made with slabs of exotic Parota wood for a community dining experience. The rest of the 5,200-sqaure-foot space will be transformed into a renovated bar and lounge area, a 74-guest main dining area and a 56-guest outdoor patio overlooking Prospect Street. Peri Peri will also offer a full bar with specialty cocktails, as well as fruit-based gelatos and desserts made in-house. Visit Peri Peri at 909 Prospect St. or www.PeriPeriLaJolla.com for more information.

A 125th birthday party, porking out at Mama’s and a ‘hands-on’ experience
Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas In 1887, 45 years before Duncan patented the yo-yo, 17 years before the invention of the ice cream cone and just seven years after Edison developed the first practical carbon-filament light bulb, the San Diego Center for Children (the city’s oldest charity) began creating a wonderful place for children to live, flourish, learn and heal. Formerly known as the San Diego Children’s Home, and before that the Women’s Home Association, SDCC has served more than 10,000 children over the years. Rana Sampson revealed the interesting history and punctuated it with a yo-yo trick as she served as host and narrator for SDCC’s 125th birthday celebration at the U.S. Grant Hotel on May 11. The festive party began with a reception and silent auction. High-tech “Bid Pal” devices allowed bidders to keep track of multiple items warning when their bids had been topped. Not everybody “got” it; some folks stuck to the old-fashioned way, hovering surreptitiously nearby to see if anyone outbid them. Dinner and the program were upstairs, where the 300-plus guests found unique and beautiful birthday cake centerpieces on every table. Each was by a different designer; their work donated or commissioned by patrons. Many looked too fabulous to be edible — especially the stunning Dr. Seuss creation by Cute Cakes — but they later became dessert. (Cute Cakes thoughtfully provided individual Cat in the Hat
cakes for everyone at that table, and Sheryl White would present the main cake to Audrey Geisel the following day. Should Audrey decide to consume it, she’ll have her work cut out for her.) The program included multiple performances by stiltwalkers, jugglers, a unicyclist and SDCC’s Glee Club (14 singers led by Sundiata Kata, the center’s music director for 43 years). Jack and Carol Clark were honored for their extraordinary long-term commitment, which ensures that SDCC can help and house teens, as well as young children. The evening’s honorary chair was Margaret Thompson, a center resident for nine years during the 1920s who fondly remembers her friends and experiences there. Bill Menish’s live auction and funding pledges met with enthusiastic generosity, to let the SDCC kids know that people care about them and want to give them the best childhood they can.

Remember the great meals mama cooked up for the family? Moms are always good cooks (well, almost always), but they can’t do it forever. Since 1990, San Diego has been the home of Mama’s Kitchen, where it is believed every person is entitled to a basic necessity of life — nutritious food. A volunteer-driven nonprofit organization, it prepares and delivers food to men, women and children affected by AIDS or cancer. In March, it delivered its 6 millionth meal, and on Friday it held its 21st annual “Mama’s Day” fundraiser at the Hyatt Aventine. It began with a VIP party, where Sam “The Cooking Guy” Zien demonstrated making a very rare tuna dish, rolled in Cap’n Crunch and served with Japanese mayonnaise and spicy Sriracha sauce. Snake Oil Cocktail Co.’s Ian Ward concocted house-made ginger beer with limejuice, lavender and fennel. Both items were served immediately, and widely praised. Mama’s Day drew about 700 guests,
attracted by the promise of creative cuisine by top chefs from 60 restaurants, hotels and caterers. Food booths ringed the pool and filled the Barcino Pavilion; a nearby patio housed the large silent auction. Pork belly and polenta dishes were particularly popular, but nearly every edible was well represented. Beautifully tempting dessert dishes made it difficult to resist the sweets before trying all the savories. With so much quality food of every description, it would have been regrettable to not overeat. And who could resist creations like pear-flavored cheesecake with cayenne pepper?

Members of the play’s creative team discussed its conception. A surprising time-lapse video shown in the lobby during intermission revealed how the truck was gutted to make it light enough for the characters to easily push around onstage during the play. After the performance, guests and cast mingled at a Hollywood-style party with drinks, desserts and a lively live band.

Ave. venue. “It’s in one of the most beautiful buildings in La Jolla,” said Malarkey. “Thomas Schoos, our designer who did Searsucker and Burlap for us, said, ‘I’m not doing anything to this building.’ The building’s just going to get a little cleanup.” Schoos was inspired by the building’s antique features. He embraced signature elements of the long-abandoned 7,500-squarefoot space — like its vintage warehouse structure and barreled ceiling — to create a fresh, contemporary atmosphere that pays homage to the history of La Jolla. Nautical elements and artifacts are incorporated into the design, and dappled lighting, natural textures, and six 100-year-old olive trees lining the room exude a feeling of having set foot in an enchanted forest. “When you walk into that building, it’s almost magical,” Malarkey said. “We’re really excited, and it’s going to be absolutely phenomenal. I hope that each one of you can make it an extension of your own home and can come visit us.” Herringbone will open May 23. For more information, visit www.HerringboneEats.com.

Jolla. “When you think of kitchens, you think of Scavolini.” The top-of-the-market Italian cabinetry distributor hosts a number of sleek kitchen cabinetry styles — as well as a newly launched bathroom line — with a wide selection of materials to choose from, including about two-dozen different types of wood, as well as glass and metal. “Every piece is made-to-order with 300 colors and other different options so people can decide exactly what they want,” Deutsch said. “That’s what you get when you go to the high end. You get all these different options. There’s a lot more customization going on.” Scavolini La Jolla offers full design services to help guide customers through the selection process. To ensure that Scavolini’s kitchen and bathroom cabinetry lines are of top quality and the latest stateof-the-art design, the La Jolla team attended Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan — the world’s leading home furnishing industry fair that sets top international standards for lighting, furniture, furnishing accessories and more. Visitors from all over the world come to check out the choicest materials and fashions made by the world’s top designers. Each year, Scavolini showcases the latest in its functionally sleek designs, setting the benchmark standard for other cabinetry designers across the globe. This year, Scavolini also launched a new bathroom line, “Blu Scavolini,” — an exclusive collection of more than 1,500 items to complement the brand’s flagship kitchen collections.

Prop 65 Newspaper Warning L-3 Communications; Linkabit and C2S2 divisions operate at a facility located at 3033 Science Park Rd. San Diego, CA 92121 which uses and emits chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. We do not believe that any person is exposed to these chemicals at levels constituting a health or safety risk. However we have not made a formal determination that actual exposure levels are below the Proposition 65 "no significant risk" levels for carcinogens or "no observable effect" level for chemicals known to cause reproductive harm, and we have not performed a risk analysis to determine the precise amount of exposure that any individual would receive over a 70 year period. Proposition 65 therefore obligates us to provide this warning to potentially effected individuals. Further information may be obtained by contacting

Struggling? Don’t give up! You can do it!! When our 2-year-old granddaughter struggles to put her shoes on, she gets frustrated at times. You can tell that after a bit, she’s ready to give up and quit. But most of the time she’ll press on, keep working at it until she succeeds, and then you hear it: ”I did it!” That excited expression is delivered with a grand smile. I’d like to suggest that we can learn from Charlotte. The Beacon did a story on my window-cleaning business when I started it a little over a year ago. When the economy went south (people in the South probably hate that phrase), I was out of work, had normal expenses to pay and had a Point Loma mortgage to pay. My wife and I were anxious and had real concerns about how all this could be worked out. It seemed impossible. I had cleaned windows for about five years in the 1990s and really liked doing it, so I decided to hand out some flyers soliciting windowcleaning work. The response to my efforts was surprising. So much so that I launched Blue Ocean Window Cleaning with the focus on Point Loma and Ocean Beach. One year later, I can say: “I did it!!” Today, I have a good income stream, I’m my own boss, I have great customers and relationships with them. I have an A-plus rating with the BBB, hired my first employees and we’ve served over 500 customers, both residential and commercial. Now, for those of you who have

your back against the wall because you’re out of work, facing a layoff or other difficult circumstance, I’m telling you: “You can do it too!” You may be facing uncertainty, you may be feeling anxious and fearful, you may be in the worse-case scenario. But if you do just a few things, it can all turn around miraculously. You can start a small service business (here’s an idea you can steal: offer alley-area cleanup services to the residents of Point Loma and Ocean Beach), you can partner with someone and open a small shop, you can form alliances with other businesses and work together to succeed. Prepare to see efforts not work out as planned, be ready to reinvest your earnings and expect some frustration and disappointment. Anticipate setbacks and nominal support from some of your circle. Fully expect the negative mind chatter, the voice in the head with words of fear and failure. But, I promise you this you can also expect the universe, God, life to begin to work with you and support your action. Be prepared to see doors open, to get good ideas that will take you to the next level. Be attentive to the creativity that will arise as you weigh paths to take toward your new day. This will happen, I promise you. But here is the key to success: do only what your hand finds to do TODAY. Stay out of tomorrow and yesterday! Like the Bible says, “Today has enough trouble of its own.” We, as humans, have a great propensity to live in fear of the future
and in regret about the past — and these thoughts rob us of the joy, peace and power of NOW. The negative mind chatter will keep us in bondage and take from us the freedom to excel. I encourage you to live more intuitively, more spontaneously and maybe a bit less rationally, practically. We need to plan and give consideration to the past and future, but there needs to be greater openness and more sensitivity to what’s around us and a readiness to run with the ideas that will come that lift and stir us. A new venture can be the seedbed for personal growth and enriching life experiences. One year later, Blue Ocean Window Cleaning is clearly in the black. The finances at home have stabilized. We’ve added an A-plus rating with the BBB and five-star ratings with other agencies. I love the people I serve and love being in business. So, you can do it!! Get in action, stay in this present moment and listen for that still small voice that will guide you. Be aware of the moments when you see you’re having a distressing thought. In that moment of seeing, there is a little gap between you and the troubling thought. As you practice this awareness, you will find the negative thoughts appearing less and less until they are no more. I will be glad to chat with anyone who wants a bit of coaching and encouragement. Call me. Paul Pate Blue Ocean Window Cleaning (619) 450-6553 (office)

May 22, 1900 A sweeping change was made in the street names of La Jolla. Most of the original streets were named by the original developers of La Jolla — Frank T. Botsford and George W. Heald — in the 1880s. The Botsfords had lived in New York City, and so they had named some of the La Jolla streets after streets in New York. These streets have retained their original names: Wall Street, Exchange Place, Park Place and Pearl Street. When the city fathers decided to change the names of so many of the other La Jolla streets, they followed the same alphabetical pattern that had been used in other parts of San Diego, such as alphabetical names of gemstones in Pacific Beach, alphabetical names of An aerial view of La Jolla taken in the 1920s shows birds in Mission Hills and alphabetical names of authors and poets renamed streets typed over their former monikers. Courtesy of the La Jolla Historical Society in Point Loma. In La Jolla, they decided to give streets the names, in alphabetical order, of famous scientists. The following street names were changed on this date — May 22, 1900: • Agassiz Avenue (now Olivetas) was formerly Vine Street and was named for the famous Swiss naturalist and teachA contract was signed between Ellen Browning er, Louis Agassiz (1807-73).

Then, on Sunday, May 20, he will again sign books at the La Mesa Children’s Book Fair at La Mesa Town Square. Proceeds from the event at the Prado will go to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, which will bring adoptable pets to the event. Portions of book sales will go to the Humane Society of the United States and the American Anti-Vivisection Society. For Cesak, the process of creating the book brought together several important areas of focus — writing, animal rescue and community. “It’s been great to be able to tie this experience in with doing something nice for animals,” he said. “It was definitely a challenge at times, but when it got to that point, [Terry and I] would just look at each other and say, ‘Relax. It’s just a little book about a little cat.’” For more information, visit www.mypersonalpanther.com.

Seal rope comes down
Rec Center hours reinstated Hours of operation at all of San Diego’s recreation centers have been reinstated five hours per week, announced Mayor Jerry Sanders on May 10. Due to past financial woes, recreation center and library hours were cut by several hours per week in an effort to recoup funding for the city’s devastated budget. In February, however, Sanders announced that a projected $16.5 million budget surplus would allow the city to restore hours at all 55 recreation centers and 35 branch libraries. The surplus was a result of better-than-expected revenues as well as city-instated economic reforms, such as the launch of managed competition, the streamlining of nearly all city departments and IT outsourcing, Sanders said. The city anticipates a projected additional $119 million budget surplus over the next five years. “For many San Diegans, our recreation centers provide not only a place for exercise, but also for community involvement,” he said. “As we’ve faced tough financial challenges, both our local residents who use our centers and our city employees who work there have felt the brunt of cutbacks. Keeping our recreation centers open longer represents another step toward fiscal recovery.” The city’s library hours are expected to be restored starting June 4.
The advisory rope barrier intended to separate humans from seals at the Children’s Pool beach during pupping season was removed May 15, marking the end of the six-month period when seals typically give birth to and wean their pups. Despite the City Council’s approval of a year-round rope barrier in the spring of 2010, Mayor Jerry Sanders instated the six-month rope barrier instead for the purposes of warning humans not to come in close contact to pregnant seals and heir young on the beach during pupping season. The California Coastal Commission will again take up the issue whether the area warrants a six-month or year-round rope barrier at its July meeting.
Paraglider dies in accident at La Jolla cliffs Pamela Hargett of South Carolina, an experienced paraglider, died in a paragliding accident along the Torrey Pines cliffs just after 1 p.m. on May 12. According to the San Diego Medical Examiner’s report, Hargett, 52, apparently lost control and crashed into the side of the cliffs near Black’s Beach. Emergency personnel responded to a 911 call placed by Hargett’s boyfriend, who witnessed the incident, and rescuers initiated advanced cardiac life support. Hargett was pronounced dead at the scene. San Diego Fire Helicopter 2 and a team of nearly 20 rescuers assisted with the recovery, transporting her to Scripps La Jolla Hospital for examination following her death.

Is Now a Good Time To Sell your La Jolla Home La Jolla, California Interest rates are near all time lows. Buyers are back, hoping to take advantage of low interest rates and low monthly payments. With more buyers, today, competing for your property it means you should be able to get a better price and sell in a shorter amount of time. Something else to consider is the yearly real estate cycle. November and December are typically the slow months of the year. Sales increasing monthly with July and August typically have the most sales. The first Baby Boomers (born 1946 to 1964) turned 65 years old in 2011. Many have fewer assets than expected they would have 5 years ago. Many of these Boomers are choosing to stay on track with their retirement date by down sizing their homes. No one knows for sure where luxury home prices will go in the next 17 years as the Boomers retire and downsize. However, with a smaller debt burdened population behind the Boomers, there is a strong argument luxury home prices could go down. Is now a Good Time for you to sell your La Jolla home? We have put together a FREE HOME SELLERS KIT that tells you everything you need to know to get your home sold.
