La Jolla Pet Parade and Festival returns May 23 BY NICOLE SOURS LARSON | VILLAGE NEWS
Carol Olten of the La Jolla Historical Society reassures her Samoyed, Beau, NICOLE SOURS LARSON | Village News before joining last year’s La Jolla Pet Parade.
The La Jolla Pet Parade and Festival, reintroduced last year after a 71-year gap, will return for its second modern stroll on Sunday, May 23 as La Jolla celebrates its love of animals in a surf-themed festival. This year’s parade, organized by the Spay & Neuter Action Project (SNAP) and a volunteer committee of La Jolla business people led by Nancy Warwick of Warwick’s and Janet McCulley of Muttropolis, will benefit SNAP’s Circle for Life. “There are three elements that save companion animals’ lives: humane education, affordable spay and neuter services, and rescuing animals out of public shelters that would otherwise be euthanized,” said La Jolla resident Candy Schumann, co-founder of SNAP and the organization’s volunteer executive director. Last year’s inaugural parade kicked off SNAP’s on-going $2 million fundraising campaign to build San Diego’s first high-volume, low-cost spay and neuter clinic designed to
address the region’s chronic pet overpopulation crisis, as well as provide subsidized veterinary services for low-income families. The festival will start with pet parade registrations, vendor booth sales and pet adoptions at 10 a.m. and continue with “Doga Yoga” from 10 to 10:30 a.m. The parade departs from the Festival Lot at the corner of Silverado and Herschel at 11:15 a.m. and winds through La Jolla streets before returning to its starting point. The full parade route is available online at www.lajollapetparade.com/route-info. Leading the parade will be Celebrity Grand Marshall Scott “Channy” Chandler, an internationally-ranked professional big wave surfer, who will bring his daughter, Tyler, and champion surf dog, Zoey, who together won last year’s Loew’s Surf Dog competition. Other Surf Dog winners will participate in the parade, including Dozer, the bulldog on the 2010 parade poster painted by Ronda Ahrens. Pet contests will begin about noon after the parade’s conclusion at the Festival Lot.
The “What’s That Mutt?” competition will challenge everyone to guess the origins of a well-mixed pooch. Six other contests will determine the cutest canine, most unique pet, dog who most looks like its owner, best dressed surfer dude doggy, best dressed surf diva dog and best pet trick. Vendor sales of pet products and services and adoptions will continue until festival wrap-up about 2 p.m. Parade participants are encouraged to pick up registration forms at Ark Antiques, Muttropolis, Warwick’s, La Jolla Brewhouse or La Jolla Village Lodge, or register online at the festival website www.lajollapetparade.com, which offers latest updates. A VIP (Very Important Pet) registration package, including a goodie bag and prime parade position, is $45, while a standard entry fee, including parade and contests entries, is $25 per pet. The parade is open to all well-behaved restrained pets, including ponies, cats, bunnies and small animals. All event proceeds benefit SNAP’s Circle for Life.

achieved by hiring a park ranger to supervise the area and monitor citysanctioned volunteers. She said this option requires no taxpayer dollars since funding has been secured from an anonymous donor. In addition, she said, it does not require a permit or proof of emergency and does not open the door for future litigation. “My community cherishes access to this beach,” Lightner said. “I have received no requests from the community or city staff to change the current joint-use policy, and there is no emergency at the Children’s Pool that would qualify for a permit to keep the barrier up year-round.” Lightner said that requests for such a permit would “most likely be unsuccessful” and “invite new, prolonged litigation” against the city.

Lightner then proposed a motion, which passed unanimously, and which included the ranger program, a permanent dog ban on the beach, and requiring city staff to report to the council whether the current dates set for seal-pupping season should be altered. Tensions ran high in anticipation of the meeting, with news vans stationed for several hours prior to the scheduled 6 p.m. start time and protesters gathered outside, requesting signatures and carrying picket signs. Inside, more than 100 of the estimated 500 attendees were scheduled to speak during the public comment section, which included emotional testimony from each side and did not conclude until nearly 10 p.m. Councilmembers then voted and adjourned the meeting by 10:30 p.m. Those divided on the dispute have typically fallen into two camps: ani-

made to create resolutions that satisfy both groups, but until the May 17 meeting, no clear plan existed for the pool’s future. The Children’s Pool was initially established in 1931 near the offshore Seal Rock Point at the direction of La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps, who donated funds to construct a sea wall to create a safe harbor where small children could swim, play and experience marine life. In the late 1990s, seals began congregating in the area to form a rookery, or breeding ground, and became an international tourist attraction. High Offered at $825,000 – $875,876
bacteria levels in the water at that time were often attributed to the seal’s excrement and led some to believe the area was unsafe for human use. The California Coastal Commission recommended the establishment of a five-year marine mammal preserve at Seal Rock in 2001, and entities like SeaWorld and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) began releasing rehabilitated seals near the location, contributing to what some call an artificial seal colony. In 2006, the City Council approved the implementation of a temporary rope barrier to act as an unofficial guideline to keep visitors from the seals, but some activists say the barrier is not enough to protect the seals from harassment as mandated by federal law. However, others say that conflicts have erupted not between humans and seals, but between humans with opposing viewpoints. A police officer at the May 17 meeting said calls to the area increased from 55 in 2008 to more than 200 in 2009, mostly due to incidents between those who wanted to access the beach and activists who wanted to keep people away from the seals. On May 18, Park and Recreation Department Director Stacey LoMedico requested that the city attorney issue an opinion within 10 days on whether a coastal emergency currently exists at the Children’s Pool. Mayor Sanders will then decide how to proceed.

Judy Roberts Bailey
Judy Roberts Bailey was born on June 27, 1944 and passed away peacefully on May 12, 2010. She is survived by her loving husband of 39 years, Bruce; a sister, Laralee Roberts of Grand Rapids, Ohio; and a brother, George Roberts of Logansport, Indiana. Judy was a professional model, a social worker and a public defender, mentored by two high-profile members of the legal profession — F. Lee Bailey (no relation) and Melvin Belli. A 1970 graduate of the University of Toledo, College of Law, she entered a profession then dominated by men and ultimately had a highly-successful career as an attorney specializing in business and family law. She was the first woman to defend members of the U.S. Armed Forces in courts martial cases in Europe. Judy was also the first woman hired by the Riverside California County Public Defenders Office. Later, she moved to La Jolla where she continued her legal practice and became president of the La Jolla Bar Association. She was quoted as saying, “As attorneys, we want to bring about change in our society by both preserving the good things and changing the bad things.” Judy was a member of Chaine des Rotiisseurs, La Jolla Chapter and a graduate of the Culinary School at the Oriental Hotel in Bankok, Thailand, the German Cooking School in Stuttgart and the French Cooking School in Paris. A funeral Mass in Judy’s honor will be held today, May 20, 3 p.m. at Mary Starof- the Sea Catholic Church in La Jolla. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to the San Diego Humane Society, 5500 Gaines St., San Diego, CA 92110.

School board candidates debate priorities La Jolla High fundraiser returns BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS
BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS
The three candidates vying to represent the coastal stretches of the San Diego Unified School District answered questions submitted by the public and read by a moderator during a May 13 forum at La Jolla High School. Six-term incumbent John de Beck, 80, joined challengers Scott Barnett, former PTA president and taxpayers advocate; and Michelle Crisci, a school psychologist. The candidates took turns answering questions about their goals and priorities, hiring teachers based on seniority, managing budget cuts and school finances, granting more autonomy to local clusters and prioritizing funds for early, remedial and gifted education programs. Citing what he described as 36 years of experience, de Beck said he is best qualified to improve student achievement, maintain a balanced budget and attract and retain a talented staff. The Bay Park resident proposed initiatives backed by research, he said, including whether class size reductions really do improve performance and, if so, how
La Jolla High School’s annual fundraising event, Nautilus, is back to enchant guests with an evening of breathtaking panoramic views, gourmet cuisine from Giuseppe Catering, auctions, and live entertainment and dancing. Set for May 17, 6 p.m. at the oceanfront Scripps Seaside Forum, 8602 La Jolla Shores Drive for the second year in a row, the event will feature prized auctions items that the school hopes will attract at least $100,000 in funds. One live auction item includes a “Monte Carlo at Home” package event with a prog ressive tasting menu for 12 prepared by Giuseppe “from farm to table,” in addition t o l e s s o n s f r o m a professional p o ke r p l aye r a n d c u s tom party invitations from La Jolla H i g h alumnus and Creative Occasions owner Anseth Page Richards. Also up for bidding are a trip to New York — complete with Broadway tickets, vacation stays at a 4,000-square-foot home on the island of Kauai and a 4bedroom home in Mammoth Lakes.

many fewer students contribute to the effect. “I ask hard questions and I push hard, and I think the community wants that,” de Beck said. “I’m not an establishment person and I’m not a union person. I’m my own person and I think I have a few more years to go.” Barnett, 47, pointed to his financial background as integral to restructuring the district’s budget while deflecting the
negative impact of federal and state cuts, which have increased for the last three years. With two daughters in the district — one at La Jolla Elementary School and one at La Jolla High School — Barnett also advocates increased authority for individual schools, clusters and sub-districts to determine priorities, curriculum and activities. Barnett said he also plans SEE CANDIDATES, Page 4
Silent auction items include packages from local hotels like La Valencia, Hotel Parisi, and the Colonial, restaurants including George’s at the Cove, The Marine Room, Roppongi and Harry’s Coffee Shop, and gift items from Warwick’s Books and Bowers Jewelers. “With the budget cuts, the news gets worse and worse for schools,” said event Chair Kathryn Stephens. “This event helps us raise the funds that are critical to making up the difference.” One of the high school’s pet projects is to “bring Parker Auditorium into the 21st century,” Stephens said. “We’d like to raise funds to purchase and install a brand new light system and we’re hoping to accomplish that with this year’s gala,” she said. Other needs include computers for the computer labs, teacher stations, textbooks, science lab supplies, counseling support, security cameras, athletic equipment and grounds maintenance.

$40,000 of La Jolla school budget funds recovered, to be redistributed locally BY JENNA FRAZIER | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Cluster Association’s response to a 2.5 percent budget cut, effective in February, has retrieved $40,000 in funds, or approximately 29 percent of what was initially taken, from the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) for redistribution to local schools. Though the $138,000 that wa s i n i t i a l ly t a ke n wa s n o t
r e t u r n e d i n i t s e n t i r e t y, t h e L a Jolla Cluster outlined a request for what it deemed the funds most crucial to preserving programs through the end of the school year. The list was pres e n t e d t o P h i l i p S t ove r, SDUSD interim chief special projects officer, on April 6. Stover said that 100 percent of the requested funds were returned. “We returned the funds over a period of several weeks by transferring the
funds out of a holding account back into the school account,” Stover said. “La Jolla Cluster certainly took a lead in bringing the challenges to our attention. They did a good job.” The requested returns included $14,783 to Bird Rock Elementary, $14,973 to La Jolla Elementary, $4,800 to Torrey Pines Elementary and $5,000 to Muirlands Middle School for causes that ranged from remedial programs and intervention support to web-based
computer programs designed to assist struggling students. Principal Dana Shelburne of La Jolla High School said the funds he requested had already been returned, which Stover confirmed. Sharon Jones, a board member of the La Jolla Cluster, said that though these numbers represent only a fraction of what was taken in February, the district did receive the money it most needed.
“Phil Stover said that he couldn’t get all of the money back but that he would try to get some of it back,” Jones said. “And he did.” La Jolla will not be the only area to receive reimbursements for its schools from the district. “When all is said and done, I think we will restore around $250,000 or $300,000 in total,” Stover said. “I can’t guess as to how many schools will get restored funds.”

Hanging baskets to receive makeover Contractors bidding to serve as the vendor who will replace 122 of the 236 hanging baskets that adorn La Jolla Village’s streets have until May 21 to make their case. Once the bid period closes, the city’s Purchasing and Contract Department will select the lowest qualified bidder, who will then be responsible for purchasing the planter bowls, filling them, hanging them throughout the Village and maintaining them as necessary for one year. At that point, the city can decide to renew the contract for up to four additional one-year periods. “We haven’t decided which baskets will be replaced first, but it will most likely be those in the core of the Village where most tourists go first,” said Alicia Martinez-Higgs, a community development specialist charged with the administration of the La Jolla Business Improvement District. “Our goal is to have them installed before July 4.” The replacement planters will be 20 inches in diameter, Martinez-Higgs said, which is slightly larger than the 16-inch baskets that currently line Village streets. They will be sturdier than the existing baskets and will contain succulents and other insect-resistant, drought-tolerant plants. Promote La Jolla board members, who have been pursuing the project for several months, estimate that each basket will cost approximately $250 to maintain for one year, for a total of $59,000 if all baskets are eventually replaced.

Reflections by Carol Olten
Filson home known for artistic sensibility, sunken garden and statuary Arriving permanently in La Jolla in 1918, Charles and Mary Estella Filson built a home for themselves at 7750 Sierra Mar Drive. The home was renowned for its artistic sensibility, panoramic view and secretive features that included a sunken garden at the back of the house, replete with a great variety of floral life and statuary. (Previously they had resided in the Boca Raton Court on Prospect Place.) Charles Filson had come to La Jolla to retire. He had achieved fame as a portrait painter in Ohio, portraying many leading public officials of the late 19th century. But as the Filsons settled into daily life in their picturesque Southern California home by the Pacific, they built a growing reputation in their new community for a bohemian and intellectual lifestyle. They outfitted a luxurious little coupe for overnight camping trips, often taking friends for spins into the countryside — one participant remarking that the coupe had “arrangements for sleeping as commodious and comfortable as a Pullman.” Charles continued to paint — but his subjects were more often surf than people, although he did complete a formal study of early La Jolla’s most famous citizen — Ellen Browning Scripps. Estella became known for her decorative and sophisticated dinner parties. And, their house on Sierra Mar became widely-known for its architectural detail and beauty, written about in a variety of journals. One scribe described it so: “The house ... has window frames and awnings of deep blue, and about it lie groups of native brush and wild flowers, mingled with the cultivated plants and shrubs. This garden contains a small redwood, the only one I know of in La Jolla and vicinity.” The same scribe described a sunken garden “that one could contemplate for hours.” It had a small grass plot surrounded by bright flowers and ferns on either side leading up to a brick wall and a statuary of a stag and its mate cast in bronze. Charles and Estella shared their La Jolla idyll for many years. He died in 1937 at age 76 at Scripps Memorial Hospital. Remaining at the Sierra Mar address, she died about 20 years later. Their house no longer remains on Sierra Mar. It was demolished shortly after Mrs. Filson’s death and a new structure was built. Part of the sunken garden remains, however, deeply embedded in an ocean canyon. But the panoramic view — “the sea, it was all there below us, ruffled in the soft wind, and blue in the strong sunshine” — has been obscured by hillside development, especially in recent years. Their first home in Boca Raton Court, also known for its garden and landscape, also was demolished years ago. Ironically, some of Filson’s art work remains as part of the La Jolla heritage, including a significant portrait he painted of Ellen Browning Scripps before her death in 1932. It has a prominent place in the La Jolla Woman’s Club. — Carol Olten is the historian at the La Jolla Historical Society. Her Reflections column runs monthly in La Jolla Village News.

Pass the Advil to Sherri Lightner this week Sherri Lightner knew she would be facing challenges when she assumed her First District seat. City Council duties in November of 2008: seals at the Children’s Pool in La Jolla and an uncivil war over the Regents Road Bridge proposal in University City would definitely test her problem-solving skills. Do the seals stay or go? Should the controversial bridge be built over Rose Canyon or should other traffic solutions be introduced? Add to the mix the possibility of La Jolla seceding from the city of San Diego. Pass the Advil to Councilwoman Lightner this week because the first two issues were on her “to do” list. Last Monday, the 17th of May, at Sherwood Hall, no harbor seals were seen in the audience, but their representatives spoke for them. The debate over the seals has gone on since 1999. About 200 seals, none in a union yet, have been the center of attention with La Jolla and the rest of San Diego weighing-in on a resolution. Since 1931, the home to current seals has been called Children’s Pool. Casa Beach is the name chosen by folks who prefer seals’ rights over humans. “Use the beach but don’t harass the seals” has been the compromise Sherri Lightner has put forth since taking her oath of office. She was quoted in a recent interview as saying: “Right now, my vision is to not have any more litigation and to have everybody get along. (Sounds like Rodney King after the L.A. riots in 1992.) “I think if we develop a consensus, it’s going to be a lot easier on everyone.” Passion and polarization on the part of constituents has put the City Council representative in a no-win situation. It is similar to the intense divisiveness over Arizona’s decision about illegal immigration. Have you heard anyone say that he or she doesn’t know how they feel about the new law on illegal immigration? The heat is on over seals at the beach, a bridge over Rose Canyon and a hot button issue in Arizona.
View from 52 SANDY LIPPE In regard to the May 19 meeting at City Hall, it was the scene of a community split apart as University City pro- and anti-bridge veterans set up battle plans at the City Council Land Use and Housing Committee, as the committee considered a proposal for two contracts: one for an environmental study and another for preliminary work. The opportunity for public commentary opened up a Pandora’s Box between the two factions, who have a bad history between them. Pro-bridge neighbors screamed about 40 years of promises to alleviate the traffic on Genesee due to overbuilding urban North UC. Anti-bridge advocates hollered about the need for Rose Canyon to remain an open space, pristine escape for twolegged animals and safe habitat for birds, bobcats and beautiful plants. Neighbors aren’t all divided over geography with the west side opposed to the bridge and the east side in favor, but this is the designation some see. Community volunteers who have worked alongside each other on events like UC Celebration on July Fourth and the Christmas Tree Lighting event have stopped speaking to each other. (“It ain’t right,” as Turko says.) Now, with the idea of La Jollans wanting to secede from San Diego, Sherri Lightner has to believe the old adage that bad things happen in threes. The whole city of San Diego would have to vote on secession. If 50 percent plus one approved, the gates could go up around the Jewel by the sea, but only if an election in La Jolla would see locals in agreement. Why would La Jolla elect to leave San Diego? It might be that the Florence Riford Library could be open on Monday, which it

can’t now because San Diego says so; there’s no money. Potholes come to mind also. La Jolla would like smooth streets and no broken axles. How about taking control of education? The schools would be without the bureaucratic nightmare witnessed daily in San Diego. Then there is that pesky pension problem, the elephant in the living room that hovers over the city of San Diego. It doesn’t look as though it is going away for years. If La Jolla chooses to go and the voters approve, should La Jolla give back to University City the property taken on behalf of 92037 east of Interstate 5? It was annexed without a vote from the city or the local UC folks who live in an area with better weather than La Jolla. Somehow ZIP Codes were changed to accommodate businesses to promote the La Jolla name that added dollars to the businesses and some kind of status to the housing industry. How rude to the local UC residents! Well, that’s another battle that Councilwoman Lightner may or may not face during her tenure, but once again, it would be awful to have secession by your own hometown during your term in office. La Jolla and University City are only two communities of her large geographic region, which include Penasquitos, Torrey Highlands, Carmel Valley, parts of Del Mar, Torrey Pines and Torrey Hills. I’m getting a headache myself just thinking of her duties solving community concerns: lifeguard cuts, brownouts at a busy fire station like #35 in UC, budget woes, a new downtown library, the evil deficit. She and the other council members seem to have one hand tied behind their backs. As a City Council person, a charter provision does not allow City Council members to direct staff. It is a very important sort of limit line in responsibilities and in order to get answers or actions on certain things, it is necessary to go through the mayor’s staff, but let’s save that topic for another day.

Looking for the feel-good hormone Doing it Better Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. This will be a bit complicated, but I think it’s an important insight, and it helped me. I recently received an award as “the most outstanding resident” from Southern California Presbyterian Homes (SCPH) at its annual meeting. Several SCPH communities sent in names of residents, and I was thrilled to be selected by White Sands. But that’s not the whole story. It was bittersweet because when I came home, there was no one to celebrate with me, no one to tell who would be happy for me. I really missed my husband, who would have been thrilled. I e-mailed my children and they responded with perfunctory “That’s great, mom.” So, I worried that I’m a narcissist, always needing validation. I called a psychologist friend of mine who said something that really hit home. She said it is human to need validation because every time we are noticed for some accomplishment, we get a surge of dopamine, the feel-good hormone. Dopamine is a chemical compound found in the brain that transmits nerve impulses. It is part of the reward system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment. It rewards good experiences, thus regulating emotion. Having had continuous surges of dopamine for the 35 years I was married to Herman, my brain misses that hormone. I wonder whether one can be
addicted to dopamine. If so, then I am in withdrawal and withdrawal accentuates feelings of depression, looking for a fix that is not forthcoming and not understanding and underestimating the hormonal impact on our brains and our bodies. Conversely, when bad things happen, we get a hit of cortisol, the stress hormone, and it too impacts our brains and bodies. The lesson to be learned here is the importance of noticing, of congratulating, of showing appreciation to our family, friends and colleagues for their achievements, and of letting them do the same for us by sharing our triumphs and accepting their praise. A few columns ago, I wrote that all children wear an invisible sign that says “admire me.” I did not realize that what it really said was “please give me a bit of dopamine,” and that we still wear that sign as adults. When I used to give talks on male and female differences, I used to say that men think they’re OK unless criticized, but women think they’re not OK unless praised. Do women then need more dopamine to feel good than men do? Or are men in denial of their needs for dopamine? Or perhaps many women just have a harder time accepting the subtle acknowledgements given by those around us and therefore don’t hear the praise unless it is spoken clearly. Many of us have had pets that died, and we mourned as if it were a person. Non-pet owners did not commiserate and did not understand the extent of the grief. I now think that what pets give us are surges of dopamine every time they greet us, happily bark or purr, every time we pet our furry
What to Do to Avoid Sibling Problems When Caring for Mom Today, due in part, to blended families, the principles of family life that you believe in may no longer be valid. But because our parents are living longer and we still want to be connected, siblings are probably the most important part of the care giving structure. In Francine Russo’s book, “They’re Your Parents, Too: How Siblings Can Survive Their Parents Aging Without Driving Each Other Crazy,” she describes the “anger/guilt gridlock” that can cause great challenges for siblings in their efforts to help Mom and Dad. Part of this stems from the assumption that the siblings don’t need to discuss what they’re going to do for their parents because they will just know. A healthy relationship with your brothers and sisters requires respect, trust, reciprocity, affection and being able to disagree without passing judgment. How can the children work together to care for their parents, even if they can’t share the same exact responsibilities? Here are some tips to consider: Talk to each other and your parents before a crisis to learn about powers of attorney, living wills and long term care insurance. Ask your parents what they want, don’t assume and get it in writing. Deal with the most immediate issues first, such as safety. Get everyone involved in the decision making process. Stay in touch and apprised of any changes through emails or telephone. Realize and accept that there will be differences of opinions. Don’t accuse, try to reach a consensus for your parent’s sake.

friends. So when they die, we miss not only their presence, their constant companionship, but also the dopamine that they provided. What is interesting to me is also the fact that we can get a surge of dopamine not only when we receive an accolade, a gift, a hug, but also when we give it. In other words, whenever I tell someone how well they look or how clever their remark was, I not only give dopamine, I also receive it. So what this insight does for me — it makes me realize that I can look for ways of getting more dopamine, and it is not by sitting home alone and moping, but by actively reentering life with
its pitfalls and rewards. I can get a surge of dopamine when I write, see a good play or movie, listen to music, read a book, talk to a friend or go for a walk. What gives you pleasure, i.e., dopamine? Look for it, make it happen. Now I understand why volunteering increases our immune system — it gives us a fix of the reward hormone, why living in a community is healthy — it gives us the possibility of getting some of this feel-good hormone through constant interaction. We can all try to look for ways to get some dopamine into our lives. By writing this, I just did.

Softball league wraps up season in new home BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS The Coastal Bay Girls Softball league concluded its season by throwing a party for players, coaches and parents who helped make the league a success on May 8 at La Jolla Elementary School. “It’s been a super-exciting day and the weather’s been great,” said Coastal Bay league President Barbara Birnbaum. “We have almost all 200 players here who played in our rec season this year.” Each of the 20 teams was introduced over the public address system. Parents and supporters had the opportunity to take pictures of the players who posed for the fans briefly in the center of the softball diamond. For their participation in the league, every player received a trophy in the form of a bronzed softball glove. Festivities also included prizes for raffle winners, helmet air-brush painting and plenty of food for the hungry crowd. Birnbaum said the league has been going strong for many years but what made this season particularly special was moving the games back to La Jolla Elementary. “We used to play at Torrey Pines and we just moved this year to La Jolla Elementary,” she said. “(Today) is a celebration of the community being in the heart of the Village and all kids and families and siblings.” The La Jolla Elementary field had gone neglected for close to a decade while it grew into a hazardous and unplayable park. But with the help of the local community and a sizable donation from the local Kiwanis Club, the field was renovated and cleaned up. As a result, young girls can once again play softball in La Jolla. “Everybody loves the idea that the games are down here right in the middle of town,” said local business owner and Kiwanis Club member Leon Chow. The league, which was formerly known as La Jolla Girls Youth Softball, had been playing its games at the YMCA for the past several seasons. The new location is more conve-
nient for many local families who want to participate. Over time, the central locale of the games could also attract more interested girls looking for a great way to stay active and be a part of a team. “This is generating excitement for next year,” Birnbaum said. “People can’t wait to sign up and a lot of their friends and classmates want to play next year too.” The Coastal Bay Girls Softball League is open to girls between the ages of 5 and 14, and regular season games are played from February through May, with all-star competition continuing for the next two months.

Magnifying the magic of miniatures BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS Florence Lambert is a La Jolla artist who creates scenes of fantasy and beauty on a very small scale. After peering into a birthday scene where cupcakes and party hats on a pink-laced table are smaller than a fingernail, regular-scaled life suddenly seems bulbous and awkward. Lambert has collected, sold and handcrafted miniatures for the past 35 years. She’s lived on Cardeno Street in La Jolla for the past 40 years. An animal-rights activist for 20 years, Lambert created a whimsical scene of a Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS) board meeting where bonnet-wearing dogs sit on colorful settees and discuss the issues at hand. For the box, Lambert made tiny pencils to rest on pads of paper by painting sewing pins yellow with black tips, using a large magnifying glass. She also shaped toothpicks into slender, red candles. “It’s fun to make things out of nothing,” said Lambert, who also crafted a miniscule chandelier from jewelry pieces for another scene. These tiny, fantastical worlds are a retreat from the more mundane and painful realities of everyday life — and the hobby is addicting. “We have control over a tiny world of our own,” Lambert said. “Miniatures allow us to have everything just the way we want it … Miniatures also enable us to become immersed in our fantasies.” Artists also use miniatures to recreate and preserve SEE MINIATURES, Page 11

Miniatures show set for May 22-23 Florence Lambert and her partner, Brian Sticht, are hosting the F&B Miniature Collectors Show and Sale on Saturday, May 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, May 23 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Al Bahr Shrine Center at 5440 Kearny Mesa Road. The show will feature handcrafted and manufactured miniatures as well as accessories for dollhouses and room boxes. “There will be something for every taste and budget, including items for children, beginners and the sophisticated collector,” Lam-
bert said. Lambert has also planned an unusual pairing for some of the miniatures: floral arrangements, an idea she hatched after creating floral arrangements to complement art pieces at museums in Balboa Park through Art Alive. Lambert has commissioned artists to design floral arrangements to reflect the nature of the miniatures. General admission is $6 and $3 for children under 10.

Since 1974, German artist Peter Dreher has painted the same water glass more than 4,800 times. You’d think he would be bored by now, but no. With a mix of precision German engineering and a Zen-like discipline, Dreher continues painting the same glass over and over and has no plans to stop, and it is what he is perhaps most famous for. On May 7, Quint Gallery, 7739 Drury Lane, opened a show of Dreher’s paintings and drawings. The exhibit, which consists of a series of 24 of Dreher’s water glasses, 12 vitrines (a European bowl) and 12 newly-rendered flower drawings, some made right here in La Jolla, will continue until June 5. Dreher’s works, finished in a single sitting, are simple, realistic monochromatic renderings in the still-life tradition in warm gray on a white background on linen or paper with a few specks of color added in. They are like a visual representation of a Zen koan — a pithy, enigmatic statement so difficult to decipher or comprehend with the rational mind that contemplation takes you beyond mind to a place of pure awareness. Dreher’s paintings and drawings, which reject any hint of gaudy materialism, appear to be much too similar to hold interest when seen from afar. Yet they challenge or entice you to come closer and look deeper at the reflections in the glass without the usual preconceptions or assumptions. They ask you to look with freshness and newness in the Zen tradition of “beginner’s mind.” In Zen, the idea or goal is to see and do the same thing, the normal thing, the everyday thing, as if for the first time. When you are totally present to “chop wood and carry water,” you see that things are constantly different, constantly new and constantly changing — and what you have taken for reality is an illusion.

Homage to Picasso shows at Galeria Jan BY WILL BOWEN | VILLAGE NEWS Biljana Beran was a medical doctor working in an emergency room in Sarajevo, Bosnia, when one day a friend took her to a gallery to see the work of artist Joze Cuiha. The effect was immediate and permanent. Much to the concern and chagrin of her family, Biljana gave up her promising medical career and in 1986 opened an art gallery. In 1996, after immigrating to the U.S. during the Balkan Wars, Biljana held fast to her vision and opened another art gallery La Jolla, which is at 1250 Prospect St., Suite B21, next
door to George’s at the Cove. “I realized that day what I really wanted to do with my life — what I was supposed to be doing.” Biljana said. “Art is my obsession, it is my consuming passion. I am most happy when I am in my gallery and surrounded by art. I think of my artists as my family.” On May 1, Biljana opened a new show at Galeria Jan featuring the work of Cuiha and Los Angeles-based sculptural and ceramic artist Peter Shire, both influenced by Pablo Picasso, called “Hommagio a Picasso.” The show will run until May 23. The feeling in the gallery on open-
ing night was as if one had stepped through the doorway into Eastern Europe, perhaps into a James Bond movie. Strains of the Serbo-Croatian language, which Biljana speaks, wafted through the air. Artist Peter Shire, bearded, and dressed in baggy brown trousers and a blue striped Russian Navy shirt made merry and entertained the gallery-goers by explaining his colorful, comical sculptural contraptions and teapots of geometric wizardry.

The exhibition ran for four days (fresh flowers don’t stay that way forever, you know). Ancillary events included a Members’ Preview breakfast, an All-Star Floral Challenge featuring three top pro designers, a Lily Luncheon in the Sculpture Garden, a Flowers After Hours evening with cocktails and art-making activities, and Family Arts Workshops for parents and children to enjoy together. But the most festive and social facet of Art Alive was New Light: An Illuminated Floral Affair.

in a huge, white tent that usurped most of the parking area in front of the museum. Inside were bars and food stations, and comfortable seating on chairs, sofas and lounges. More than 20 fine restaurants and purveyors of wines and spirits offered artful creations of the edible and drinkable sort. The quality and variety were quite excellent and the atmosphere was very social, which explains why people spent as much time there as they did. Honorary chair Paul Mosher and event co-chairs Anne Otterson and Katy Dessent have a lot to be proud about for Art Alive 2010. It will be a tough act to follow. ••• Across the square from SDMA, the Mingei Museum celebrated its 32nd anniversary with a gala of its own. Formerly a traditional (but quite enjoyable) arrangement, with a sit-down dinner amid the art following an outdoor cocktail reception, they’ve recently inaugurated a more lively format. About 200 guests celebrated this year’s Mingei Fusion 2.0 on Cinco de Mayo, greeted by a large mariachi band. Further entertainment took place all around the museum and included Mexican and Irish dance groups, a Latin jazz singer, an amazing magician, and a dramatically-skillful tango ensemble. There was certainly no shortage of fine cuisine. Coordinated with international art exhibits throughout the venue were fine offerings from Mexican, Japanese, Abyssinian, and Indian restaurants, and bars serving beer, wine, tequila and sake. Desserts were churros and fancy cupcakes. An international sit-down dinner was served in the “Fusion Lounge” for guests holding premium tickets. The Host Committee, with co-chairs Louie and Taylur Nguyen, helped introduce lots of new partygoers to the event. This philosophy will help ensure that a growing number of enthusiastic, young art aficionados will come to appreciate the Mingei, and become supporters.

and must be precise. Lambert pointed to the ruffles on a skirt worn by a miniature woman standing on the end of a gypsy caravan as an example of the importance of details. “It’s okay to mess up on one detail but not two,” Lambert said. Lambert’s partner, Brian Sticht, marvels at Lambert’s creativity and precision. “She should have been a jeweler or watchmaker,” Sticht said. Lambert was further lured into the world of miniatures after spotting a “darling” dollhouse on a trip to Lake Tahoe. She purchased the dollhouse and soon after discovered groups dedicated to the
art. Lambert didn’t take classes to learn the craft but used her own ingenuity and learned from others. She also saves everything. “We can contrive so many things out of other things,” Lambert said. Miniatures were also important in the lives of Egyptians, according to Lambert. Egyptians placed tiny replicas of important worldly possessions like toys and pets into coffins so the body would know what it would need in the afterlife, Sticht explained. “It seems there is a universal affection for things small and miniature,” Lambert said.

ly, what you have seen as the mundane is actually the gateway to the mysterious. Dreher calls his collection of glass paintings“Tag Um Tag Guter Tag,” literally meaning “Day by Day A Good Day.” It is sometimes translated as “Every day is a good day.” But it may also mean doing the same thing every day can be a good thing when done with the right state of consciousness. The title comes from a koan by Chinese Zen master Yumen Wenyai (864949), associated with the Blue Cliff Records School of Chan Buddhism, who was known for his abhorrence of writing things down and his one word responses. “I try to paint a glass in total restraint of any personal involvement and without a
flicker of emotion,” Dreher said of his glass paintings. “Each glass is a new glass. No one glass is exactly like the one before.” Dreher, a balding, bespectacled man with a characteristic stoic frown, was born in 1932 in Mannheim, Germany. He grew up during the Nazi era. His father was an officer in the German army and was killed on the Russian Front. After his father’s death, his family lost its home and he was homeless for a time. Dreher eventually built a new house but realized that home isn’t a physical place but is in the heart. He eventually found his home, as well as his escape and refuge from life, in painting. From 1968 to 1997, Dreher was a professor of painting at State Academie Karlsrube in Wittnau, Germany. He retired in 1997 and now lives in Freiburg on the edge of the Black Forest. He has been to
the La Jolla area at least twice to exhibit and work, and he likes it here. Sara Trujillo, the office manager at the Quint Gallery, who was educated at Sotheby’s Art Institute through the University of Manchester in England, gives us a clue as to Dreher’s character. “He is a quiet, older gentleman. Very sweet and very deep, almost mystical,” she said. “But as soon as he starts talking about painting he become instantly passionate.” This exhibit is well worth visiting because it shows the work of an important artist in the serial tradition. It is also an opportunity to see how Zen has influenced the arts and to explore how you see and if you can unravel a visual koan — as you are drawn from disinterest afar to clear seeing close up.
