Jane Goodall brings her legacy to La Jolla After more than 50 years studying chimp behavior, the famous scientist discusses her legendary work in our backyard BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS ore than 50 years ago, a young British woman with no formal scientific training ventured into the jungle in Tanzania (then Tanganyika) to observe some chimpanzees. What she discovered over the next several decades turned the scientific community on its head. Jane Goodall, now a world-renowned primatologist, blurred the lines between human and ape with her research. She discovered that chimps make tools, wage war, are omnivores and sometimes adopt unrelated youngsters. Behaviors and traits that were previously thought to be unique

to humans were found in the tribes of chimps that Goodall observed during her years at what is today Tanzania’s Gombe National Park. On Sept. 28, Goodall will bring her life’s work to La Jolla for a dinner to benefit the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), a global nonprofit that empowers people to make a difference for all living things. Goodall will discuss the work of JGI, which continues her pioneering research and efforts to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. The institute, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, is widely recognized for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa, as well as Jane Goodall’s

Roots & Shoots, a global environmental and humanitarian youth program. Goodall, at 78, is still very much active in her work, both as a primatologist and as a conservationist. She travels at least 300 days a year, visiting every corner of the earth to raise awareness about the state of chimpanzees and the current threats to the planet. Though Goodall, who calls Gombe her favorite place on earth, would love to spend more time at the national park, she feels her time is better spent empowering youth to be better environmental stewards, said Mary Humphrey, CEO of JGI.

La Jollan a champion for women’s health rights, trailblazer in medical field BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS Dr. Doris Howell, founder of the Doris A. Howell Foundation for Women’s Health Research, is more than just an advocate for women’s health. She is a trailblazer in a once little known field that was dominated by men, a vital leader in hospice care and pediatric oncology and hematology, and — above all — the driving force behind critical studies into the field of women’s health Doris Howell, above, at a lab at UCSD and below, in her younger care. Courtesy photos It would seem that years. such a pioneer in the industry would require a tough-as-nails personality. Howell, however, displays an insightful, compassionate, mother-like quality that shatters the preconceived image of a woman who defied gender boundaries. “I actually had a hard time in medical school because all of a sudden I didn’t feel like I was in the right place,” she said. It wasn’t the fact that she was only one of four women in the entire medical school of nearly 200 students that made her feel out of place. It was the coldness by which she was told to treat her patients. “I didn’t like the way the teachers made you isolate yourself from the patient. That was the golden rule — don’t get close to your patient because then you’ll lose your relative ability to make hard diagnoses and tell hard stories,” she recalled. “I’ve never been unkind to anybody in my life, and I’ve always nurtured everybody that I’ve come near, so I didn’t like the idea of not taking care of my patients and sitting with them and talking with them.” Finally, she decided that so long as she graduated, she could pursue her own practice in her own way. And that’s exactly what she did. Howell’s compassion led her to become a trusted physician among her young patients and their parents, a knowledgeable professor and faculty member at several prestigious medical universities, and ultimately led her to help found San Diego Hospice alongside the late benefactress Joan Kroc.

With cancer behind her, San Diegan completes 40th Rough Water Swim BY DAVE SCHWAB | VILLAGE NEWS This year, Diane Hotz recovered from reconstructive breast cancer surgery while celebrating her 50th birthday and her 20th year of teaching, as well as marking one other personal milestone — completing her 40th Rough Water Swim at La Jolla Cove. Hotz has been doing the marathon ocean-swimming event since age 8 in 1970. Last year would have been her 40th time participating, but she had to postpone it due to her surgery. “There’s no way I was going to stop doing the Rough Water Swim,” Hotz said, though she admitted to allowing herself one concession this year. “I just did the one-mile swim,” she said. “I didn’t think I was up for the three-mile (Gatorman).” She intends to do both next year. Hotz, along with her siblings, grew up on Loring Street in Pacific Beach. Her brother, Don, said the family has always had a kinship with everything aquatic. “We’re a big swimming family,” he said, adding it was hard not to be when you’re born and raised a couple of blocks from the ocean. “It was imperative that we all learned

to swim in the ocean,” he said. Don became a surfer while Diane, now an Ocean Beach resident, went on to become a student, and then teacher, of oceanography. She even went so far as to do underwater research on great white sharks off South Africa, working in a shark cage about 10 years ago. Participating in the Rough Water Swim is a family tradition, Don Hotz said — one that obviously had extraspecial significance this year for Diane. “One of the things they give you when you get out of the water after the swim is a survivor medal,” he said. “I thought that was kind of pertinent given she’s just survived a very serious bout of breast cancer. It meant a little extra to her when she got that survivor medal this time.” Asked whether her participation in this year’s swim felt extraordinary, Diane said simply, “It was,” particularly given that she had to overcome a physical disability from the surgery to compete at all. “It was hard this year to get my strength back,” she said. “They had to take a muscle out of my back to create a new breast and my whole left side is kind of numb. They told me I was going to lose strength in my arm. I had to

build back up my other muscles to cope with the lack of a back muscle.” Undaunted, Hotz was determined to make it back to compete in her 40th Rough Water Swim. “I was kind of taking a stride every year and this year was more important because of what I’ve gone through with breast cancer and coming back from major surgery,” she said. “It made it more meaningful.” After all, Hotz said, exercise is therapeutic. “Don’t be afraid of trying something new just because you have a disease or have had surgery to recover from,” she advised others in a similar situation. “The more exercise you can get, the

faster the healing process is. Stay with what you usually do and don’t back down on things.” Hotz’s experience overcoming adversity has been an inspiration to her family and friends. “In August 2011 she underwent breast reconstruction and had to miss her 40th swim in September 2011 but got back into the water in January 2012 and began swimming 1,500 to 3,500 yards getting ready to swim her 40th Rough Water Swim at the 82nd La Jolla Rough Water Swim,” said Don Hotz’s wife, Meg Halaska. “Diane also swam with a group one summer, swimming two to three miles per workout, working their way from Ocean Beach

up to Oceanside. Wherever they stopped one week, would be where they started the next. She would like to do this again.” “She is an inspiration to everyone,” said Diane’s sister Karen, who lives in Sacramento. “She’s awesome.” Hotz has a new goal in mind. “Next year will be my 41st Rough Water Swim, heading, hopefully, to 50,” she said.

NEWS CIVICreport: La Jolla Shores Association, Sept. 12 BY DAVE SCHWAB | VILLAGE NEWS The good news for La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) is that progress is being made to rein in commercial activity at Kellogg Park with the cooperation of police. Unfortunately, what the advisory group believes would solve the problem — hiring a new park ranger — is no closer to fruition. Where the money to hire a ranger would come from is still a mystery. It’s all been part of an ongoing discussion at LJSA, which makes recommendations to the city on parks and community-related issues, about what to do concerning unpermitted and unregulated user groups at Kellogg Park. “The community is concerned about Kellogg Park and it’s on our radar screen,” said San Diego police Lt. Mike Hasting at the Sept. 12 meeting. “We’re working on requiring permitting for ice cream trucks, removing (improper) tents, etc. But I can’t stand in front of this committee and tell you the park gates will always be closed at 10 p.m. and opened at 6 a.m. every morning. It just depends on the workload.” The issue, said LJSA chairwoman Audrey Keane, is one of fairness to the park’s users who follow the permitting regulations. “The crux of the issue is we have commercial use of the park and beaches by scuba and other non-permitted groups, while we have kayaks and surf camps that are regulated by RFP’s (request for permits) and their clients pay permit fees,” Keane said.

“It doesn’t seem fair that we have kayak and surf camps that pay fees, when there are private parties that make money and have free trade shows on the beach. That is not right.” Erin Demorest of District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office reported on the amount of fees that permitted surf and kayak camps pay to the city’s general fund each year in order to operate. “The amount of money collected was about $68,000 in surf-camp revenue,” she said. “In fiscal year 2012, kayak companies paid about $237,000 in permit fees.” The money collected from fees, said LJSA board member Mary Coakley, “ought to pay for a park ranger.” But that $237,000, Keane said, wouldn’t go very far in the end. “One park ranger isn’t going to change things that are structural in nature,” Keane said. “There’s really not that much money being collected. It costs millions of dollars to manage this park and beach.” But, Coakley maintained, with such a small geographical area, a ranger might do the trick. “The park is small enough that a

park ranger is going to make a huge difference,” she said. “Anyone who runs a business at the park and causes wear and tear there, there should be some payback for the park. Not a dime of the RFP money comes back and helps the park.” A ranger, however, “isn’t going to enforce regulations that don’t exist,” Demorest pointed out. Demorest suggested the LJSA request funding for a ranger from the city’s Park and Recreation Department in upcoming city budget deliberations, as a way to jumpstart momentum for hiring a park ranger. “There could be some seed money open up in the future,” Demorest said. “You might try to attack it from multiple angles.” Former LJSA board member Tim Lucas, agreeing with Coakley, expressed his desire for some of the fees collected to be funneled back into the park. “I just want to see 1 percent of (RFP) money collected from here put back into it (Kellogg Park),” Lucas said. “If 30 percent of that money stayed in the community, you could

BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS

La Jollans get a voice in CIP funding Joe LaCava, chairman of the Community Planners Committee, invited community members to attend the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s (LJCPA) Oct. 4 meeting to discuss La Jolla’s priorities in the city budget. Typically, the city’s budget is released in mid-April each year, giving the community a mere two months to analyze and comment on its contents. “There has been criticism for some time that that is not an appropriate or adequate amount of time for the public to really participate in setting the annual city budget,” said LaCava. “This year, the mayor’s office has said, ‘Let’s do public input before we start working in earnest on the budget starting in about December.’” The city’s 43 community planning

groups, including LJCPA, will serve as forums for public outreach on budget priorities for Capital Improvement Project funds. LaCava said there is a steep learning curve for everyone to understand — including how the city budget and funding mechanisms work, how to best create a process for public outreach, and how to come to a consensus as a community and submit priorities to the city — all which will take time. “The other reality we all know is that the city doesn’t have a lot of money,” he said. “This is a good opportunity for us to create a process and go through the steep learning curve this year, so that next year when the city’s finances and the economy is better, hopefully, and we start getting into the bond market, then we will have money we can talk about and have a serious conversation.” Despite the hard work ahead, LaCa-

MIND, BODY & SOUL Recognizing the Need for Help in Caregivers A family member taking care of an elderly relative may not recognize when they are at a breaking point. Short-term the caregiver is fine. Long-term, oftentimes outside help is essential. An article in “Today’s Caregiver” states: “Nearly one in four caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias provide 40 hours a week or

more of care. Seventy-one percent sustain this commitment for more than a year, and 32 percent do so for five years or more.” It is important to know that hiring a geriatric care management company with professionals can provide valuable support to that frazzled caregiver. The care manager can guide the family and the caregiver through the maze of long term care issues.

NEWS 5 CIVICreport: La Jolla Village Merchants Association, Sept. 12 THURSDAY · SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

BY DAVE SCHWAB | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) joined a growing chorus of community support for doing something to quell the smell from hell by unanimously passing a resolution calling for action to be taken to counteract bird-dropping build-up on the rocks at La Jolla Cove. “There are days when the odor comes up from the Cove and really makes it hard to work. It’s real distasteful for the business community and restaurants and anybody down there,” said LJVMA director Tom Brady at the group’s Sept. 12 meeting. “What we’re trying to do is involve elected officials supporting a resolution we’ve drafted to resolve the stench problem at the Cove.” Brady said the resolution puts the onus of solving the problem of odor control at the Cove back onto the city. “We really don’t want to lose sight of the fact that the city will have to play a big role in trying to fix the problem,” he said. Board member Robert Lane cut to the chase, asking if it would be the city that would foot the bill for the cleaning of the rocks. “My guess is the city will have to pay someone else to do it, unless someone donates money to eradicate this problem,” said Brady. Patrick Ahern, president of La Jolla Parks and Beaches — which makes recommendations to the city on coastal issues — was skeptical the city would be willing to fork over the necessary funds, but said it should still be responsible for working with La Jolla to solve the smelly problem. “The city probably won’t want to pay

for it,” he said. “But they have some due diligence to take to work with the community to come up with the solution.” Solutions for eradicating the foul smell are available, said retired La Jolla attorney Mark Evans. “We are aware of two products, both of which are non-toxic, non-caustic, non-mutagenable (mutating), biodegradable and which have been found to be harmless to all forms of animal and plant life, including marine animal and plant life,” he said. One of the scientifically tested cleaning agents proposed to be used on the rocks, Evans said after the meeting, is Ecosystem Plus, made by Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc. “We’ve submitted the laboratory report on the product to the Water Quality Control Board and their

response was that they still think it needs to be permitted,” Evans said. Evans said Ecoysystem Plus has been used extensively in numerous settings at municipal and industrial wastewater facilities, but he added, “It’s never been used in a setting like ours on rocks right on the ocean.” That’s why, Ahern said, officials are hesitant to approve usage of the agent. “Nobody wants to be the first to use this product in the ocean,” Ahern said, noting Ecosystem Plus has been used successfully in closed ecosystems like lakes and lagoons. “We’re not planning to spray or power-wash it into the ocean.” District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner said her office is working to set up a meeting between community members and the Regional Water Qual-

ity Control Board. • LJVMA executive director Sheila “We’d be the first in California to use Fortune said research has revealed that it in an ocean setting,” she said. “We’re neither merchants nor the city are going to have to be a little bold.” responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks in front of their stores. “Real estate owners adjacent to the In other action sidewalks are responsible for their • Steven Persitza of the San Diego Film Festival, taking place Sept. 27-30 maintenance and repair,” she said, notin La Jolla Village and the Gaslamp ing shop owners nonetheless need to Quarter, gave a presentation on Digital take it upon themselves to police sideEvent Bag, an event promotion.

Emerson agreed. “This is not what was presented to us,” she said. Anu Delouri of UCSD planning told the group that engineers said the project is being built exactly according to specifications relayed to the community at public meetings. “We never said there would not be any obstruction of public views,” Delouri said, adding she would be willing to arrange to have university representatives revisit the group at a later date to answer their questions about the MESOM project. MESOM stands for Marine Ecosystem Sensing, Observation and Modeling. The new three-story building will have 12 laboratories, 56 offices and three conference rooms, and will house a new multidisciplinary program at Scripps aimed at integrating the development of physical, biological and chemical sensors — and the autonomous oceangoing platforms to support them — to conduct long-term observation of the California Current Ecosystem.

NEWS & VIEWS NEWSbriefs Former fencing coach pleads guilty A former fencing coach at La Jolla Country Day School pleaded guilty Sept. 13 to molesting one girl from the school and another girl in 2002. An agreed-upon sentence of five years in prison will be given to Vijay Prasad, 51, of Carmel Valley on Nov. 16, said Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth McClutchey. Prasad had been free on $200,000 bond until the second case was filed against him on Aug. 2 and he was arrested at the courthouse. He remains in the George Bailey Detention Facility without bail. Prasad admitted to committing two lewd acts and oral copulation with his former student in 2005 when she was 14 and 15 years old, according to court records. The fencing program was given after school and Prasad no longer works there. Prasad admitted to molesting the

other girl in 2002 when she was 14, records say. The prosecutor said she couldn’t go into how Prasad met the victim in 2002, but she is not believed to have been a student at the La Jolla school. The guilty pleas meant that neither victim, both of whom are now adults, had to come to court and testify. — Neal Putnam

Bail set for alleged CVS kidnapper Bail was set at $750,000 Sept. 14 for a man suspected of kidnapping two college students in La Jolla and taking them to a bank ATM where they were forced to withdraw money. The incident occurred Sept. 11 around 11 p.m. when the students left the CVS Pharmacy on Villa La Jolla Drive. A man with what appeared to be a pistol ordered them to get into the back seat of their own car and took some money from the woman’s purse (the male victim had no cash). The suspect, later identified as Miguel

Torres Espinoza, 29, of San Diego, allegedly forced Raymond Chung and Jessica Liu, both 20, to drive to Pacific Beach and withdraw cash from an ATM at Garnet Avenue and Soledad Mountain Road. The robber got $420 in cash, including what cash Liu had on her. Espinoza fled on foot and the couple called police, who found Espinoza a few blocks away on Loring Street around midnight. Deputy District Attorney Jalyn Wang said Espinoza had the stolen money in his possession. The pistol turned out to be a gun replica. Espinoza pleaded not guilty Friday to two counts of kidnapping for robbery and two counts of robbery. The kidnapping charge carries a life term that includes parole, and, if convicted, he could receive two consecutive life terms in prison. San Diego Superior Court Judge David Szumowski set a preliminary hearing for Sept. 27. Espinoza remains in custody. — Neal Putnam

We must do what we can to protect them and putting up a year-round rope is a very limited restriction on the beach and leaves swimmers with many

options. As you will recall, the City Council approved the year-round rope on May 17, 2010 by a supermajority vote. The mayor also signed this resolution, and the California Coastal Commission gave their unanimous approval on July 11. Given these facts, I strongly hope the Planning Commissioners will deny the appeal and approve the year-round rope. Jill Marsal San Diego

Keep the year-round rope at Children’s Pool

I do hope that the San Diego Planning Commission approves the city of San Diego’s site development permit application for the year-round rope at Children’s Pool at the meeting on Sept. 27. The San Diego City Council app-roved the year-round rope and the mayor signed this resolution. The California Coastal Commission gave their approval, as well. I only ask that the San Diego Planning Commission also approves the yearround rope to protect the seals. Sara Ohara San Diego

BY KENDRA HARTMANN VILLAGE NEWS

San Diego may not be the French Riviera, but the San Diego Film Foundation is determined to keep America’s Finest on par with other major film festival destinations with its 11th installment of the San Diego Film Festival. More than 1,300 film submissions were pored over, and the final list was pared down to a carefully vetted 200 films, including 11 world premieres, 16 West Coast premieres and four U.S. premieres. New this year is the variety of locations at which the red carpet will be rolled out. Films will be screened at two venues — the Reading Theater in the Gaslamp Quarter (701 Fifth Ave.) or the Museum of Contemporary Art La Jolla, Sherwood Auditorium (700 Prospect St.) — during the festival, running Sept. 26-30. Even bigger news is the star power that will be present at this year’s festival — namely, Academy Awardnominated director Gus Van Sant, who will be on hand for a tribute and retrospective at MCASD La Jolla on Sept. 27. “Gus Van Sant’s independence and talent as a director make him truly stand out in this industry,” said film foundation board chairman Dale Strack in a recent statement. “We are honored to host what is sure to be the first of many film festival retrospectives to celebrate his films, his career and his vision.” Van Sant, known for his success with indie and arthouse films, will be present for a screening of arguably his best-known work, “Good SEE FILMS, Page 12

Beer drinkers join school supporters for yearly celebration of all things fall It’s that time of year again. Time for that yearly celebration that unites beer lovers the world over — Oktoberfest. For those who love a good brew, University City offers a celebration like no place else, complete with a benevolent angle. UC’s Oktoberfest, hosted by EdUCate!, benefits the community’s five public schools. A family-friendly event, all proceeds from Oktoberfest go toward supplemental classroom materials at Curie, Doyle and Spreckels elementary schools, Standley Middle School and University City High. This year’s event will again feature games for the kids, German musical entertainment, skills competitions and — of course — libations from San Diego’s best local breweries. Home brewers also have a chance at glory at the event, by participating in the fourth annual University City Home Brew Contest. This year’s category is Belgian and French ale, and brews must follow the guidelines found at bjcp.org. To register a brew for the competition, visit www.uc-educate.org. EdUCate! encourages alumni of UC schools to reunite with old classmates and staff at Oktoberfest. Wear your school’s logo or other gear to get an extra drink ticket or a free game for kids. The event also kicks off EdUCate!’s Dollar a Day campaign. Donors at the $175 level of above can receive special VIP benefits at Oktoberfest. EdUCate!’s Oktoberfest takes place Oct. 6 from 2 to 6 p.m. at Standley Park, 3585 Governor Drive. Tickets for food and beer are $1 each or 25 for $20. For more information, visit www.uc-educate.org. — Kendra Hartmann

I love your style! I bumped into Penny Buckingham at Vons one afternoon (let this be the warning that I really will strike at any moment) and was instantly impressed with her style. What first caught my eye was her fun and funky geometric necklace — what an amazing piece! Next, I saw she was mixing prints. Her shirt has a thin pencil stripe and it goes great with her polka-dot skirt. She looks pulled together and definitely has her own sense of style. “I wear what I like and feel good in,” she said when asked about her style. Penny is also a great example that style has no age limit! Her skirt is a nice length, her arms are covered and shoes are a wedge. She looks age appropriate, yet current and interesting. I love your style, Penny and thanks for sharing it with my readers. — Sabrina Heft

HOWELL

Edgy surprises at MCASD and finding the lost Leonardo

CONTINUED FROM Page 1 Howell, who has been breaking boundaries since youth, continues to do so with a youthful vigor, a mindset that is as sharp as ever and an energetic commitment to promoting women’s health. “I’ve been trying to retire since 1991, and I haven’t succeeded yet,” joked Howell, who, though she formally retired that year, is still working hard — at 88 years old. Howell continued to focus on improving lives through her work as a community volunteer and philanthropist after her retirement. “Having worked full-time all the time, I never had time to join anything. I didn’t belong to any women’s groups because medicine doesn’t give you time,” she said. Finally, with a bit more time on her hands, Howell joined the La Jolla Woman’s Club and Soroptimist International of La Jolla. “I thought, ‘Now, I’ll only do works in the community. I won’t do any more medicine,’” she said. Despite her intent, the first position Howell held was as chairwoman of the Soroptimists’ health committee, where she soon discovered that women had a difficult time getting consistent answers from their doctors — for example, in inquiries about menopause. “When doctors give you different answers, it’s because they don’t know. What they’re doing is giving you their best understanding themselves from their readings and their studies,” she said. “They don’t know enough. Women’s studies haven’t been done enough.” After sending a member of her health committee to Washington, D.C. to find out what national initiatives were being undertaken in the field of women’s health — and finding none — Howell’s health committee decided to hold a symposium on menopause. “We got six national speakers, and each one of them spoke on their piece of menopausal knowledge,” she said. “The conclusion of the meeting was that we don’t know enough about menopause. So we thought, ‘Okay, that’s just where we started, but what are we going to do about it?’” Thanks to the popularity of the symposium, the committee earned a small sum, which organizers wanted to use to help improve the state of women’s health research. “If you give it to a lab, it’ll disappear overnight, so I thought we’d better do something that’s a good investment,” she said. The Soroptimists decided to invest in education through a scholarship program for undergraduate stu-

dents’ research. “It doesn’t have to be medicine. It can be nursing, social work, economics, psychology — just as long as it benefits the health of women,” she said. Using the first $4,000 raised from the symposium, the Soroptimists were able to grant two scholarships to undergraduate UCSD students for the purposes of improving women’s health through research. After four years of successful fundraising and grant giving, the Soroptimists determined the program should become independent of its parent organization. “With fear and trepidation, we spun free and became a 501(c)3 in 1995 — just as ignorant as we were before,” said Howell. The result was the Doris A. Howell Foundation for Women’s Health Research. To date, the scholarship program has awarded $416,000 to more than 170 scholars for research into women’s health topics including cancer, psychiatry and economics. “There’s no limit if it’s well-writ-

ten, well thought through, the science is sound and it benefits women,” she said. “It can’t be anything but positive for women because no matter what field of research you’re in, it’s going to improve women’s health care.” Howell said advancements in women’s healthcare have drastically improved over the years, but they still have a long way to go. “Research wasn’t being done on women in my day and that lasted well up to the ’80s,” she said. “It’s far better, but it’s still far from where it has to go. Women are still treated differently up and down the line, even up to government grants and writing. Anything you can think of, it’s always the women and the men. Never the human.” With Howell at the helm, the Doris Howell Foundation continues to forge through in the study of women’s health through its scholarship program as well as educational outreach programs. For more information about the foundation, visit www.howellfoundation.org.

The Doris Howell Foundation will present a two-part forum, “Intentional Happiness,” focusing on easy-to-use tools to help people increase happiness starting on Sept. 25. “Life is full of unhappiness and problems and disasters and losses. There’s an awful lot to be unhappy about, but if you let yourself get into that mood, that’s where you’ll sink because you’ll just keep going down,” said Howell. “I think a lot of people take it for granted that it’s your responsibility to be happy. “It’s different for everybody. You can’t say there’s one way to be happy, but most people would like to laugh a little more, smile a little more and bring their children up in a happy environment,” she said. “Logically, you can’t be happy all the time, but you have to find that wonderful balance that works in your family.” The “Intentional Happiness” forum will feature speakers including Kristin Layous, a student and researcher on happiness at UC Riverside and Peg Neuhauser, business mediator and author of “I Should Be Burnt Out By Now, So How Come I’m Not?” The forum will take place Sept. 25 and Nov. 13 at 6 p.m. at the McMillin Event Center at Liberty Station, located at 2875 Dewey Road. To register, visit www.howellfoundation.org. The cost of the program is $60 for the full series or $35 per session.

well as panel discussions with film executives and seminars for aspiring filmmakers. The festival’s nightlife, meanwhile, promises to rival any party San Diego’s neighbor to the north could dream up, with the entire Gaslamp transformed into a cinematic paradise with screenings and parties scheduled for the duration of the festival. An “Almost Famous” block party on Sept. 28 will feature an outdoor screening of the film by the same name, complete with a visit

from the original Pennie Lane (whose character is played by Kate Hudson in the film). Tickets for individual films start at $14 for pre-sale and $16 at the door. Prices for multiple screenings range from $75 for a one-day pass up to $500 for a festival VIP pass to all screenings, premieres, events and panels on all days.

Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is known for its dedication to the exhibition, interpretation, collection and preservation of art created since 1950. The location on La Jolla’s Prospect Street has been the venue for 36 annual Monte Carlo fundraising galas — each with a different and engaging theme, but always entertaining, always cutting-edge. Guests know they can expect a great time — and several surprises — at this top-notch event. This year’s theme being “On Screen,” guests arrived dressed like movie stars. A red carpet welcomed them in, while a very long row of white fabric panels screened the event from the public’s prying eyes — and gave the impression that the artist Christo had mounted an attack on the site. Guests were wel-

comed with champagne and canapés, cheeses of noble origin and delectable caviar, amply accessorized. Bars offered the expected favorites, plus such special concoctions dubbed Opaque Choreography, Pixel Proliferation and Wegman’s Weimaraner. A silent auction and opportunity drawing included items valued as high as five figures. Partygoers were eventually lured to the outdoor dining area, where unseen night birds sang greetings, tables boasted film-inspired décor and a mixed-grill main course featuring filet, lamb chops and langostino typified the richness of the entire stellar dinner. MCASD director Hugh Davies’ brief speech included an intro of Miwa Matreyek, whose “Myth and Infrastructure” performance piece kicked off this art-centric event. She combined beautifully intricate animation with music and her live silhouette for an on-screen treat that diners eagerly ate up. Projected classic films and live music continued through dessert. At 9:30 p.m., the gates were thrown open to an energetic new wave of guests arriving for the “after-party,” increasing the party population to almost 600. Gambling (of the charity sort) was rampant — chips were later exchanged for strips of prize-drawing

Dr. Myron Schonbrun and wife Doreen hosted a reception filling the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club’s Walnut Room in honor of Dr. Maurizio Seracini. Also known as “The da Vinci Detective,” he directs a new graduate research program at UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering, dedicated to engineering for medicine and cultural heritage. His Center for Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archeology (CISA3) applies innovative technology from medical and military fields for non-invasive testing and examination of art and architecture (enabling a look inside without destroying the original). Granted a 10-year loan of an entire floor in the former home of Amerigo Vespucci in Florence, Italy, he’s searching for Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, “The Battle of Anghiari,” missing for more than 500 years. He believes he’s found it — in an ornate building, hidden in an air gap behind a wall bearing a newer

Vasari fresco. The tiny inscription “circa trova” (search and you shall find) beckons cryptically from the Vasari’s surface, but political and preservation problems must be resolved before Seracini’s exciting theory can be proven. Guests enjoyed drinks and made-toorder pasta before the personable Seracini presented a thrilling, illustrated dissertation about his work to the

eager audience. He thanked his mentor, La Jolla oceanographer Walter Munk, for his work on the system that is now being built to protect Venice from modern-day periodic flooding. A UCSD trip to Italy next year will offer closer looks at Seracini’s work — and a rare insider’s view of Florence. “A life of curiosity and passion — there’s a bit of Leonardo in all of us,” says Maurizio.

to Gombe twice a year, Humphrey said, to “observe the ongoing field work, visit with old friends — chimp and human — and recharge her batteries.” The work at Gombe, meanwhile, continues on without too many changes from Goodall’s first efforts there starting in 1960. “In some ways, the work is very much the same,” Humphrey said. “Field staff, the majority of whom are Tanzanian, go into the forest each day and track select chimps and record their behavior.” What’s different, however, is how technology has aided research. When Goodall first ventured into the jungle, she had little more than binoculars and a notepad. Today, the field staff uses geographic information system (GIS) technology and high-resolution satellite imagery to track chimpanzee populations and the impact human settlements are having on their environment. Data collected are scanned and sent digitally to the Jane Goodall Institute Center for Primate Studies at Duke University, where the information is entered into an archive of more than 50 years of data to be used by scientists from around the world. Additionally, Humphrey said, “The institute is working with Google Earth Outreach on a pilot climate-change effort that is enabling local communities to take a leadership role in protecting the restored forests surrounding Gombe and the larger nearby ecosystems where additional chimpanzee populations live.” Using Google technologies, Humphrey explained, forest monitors collect the data to prove their efforts are protecting the forest, “An essential requirement if the area is to participate in the global program for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) — which will

qualify the communities for financial support for sustainable development plans,” she said. Since beginning her studies, Goodall’s efforts have shifted from primatology to conservation — efforts that were particularly stepped up when high human birth rates and periodic influxes of people fleeing wars in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo led to high population density around the park. Deforestation and loss of chimp habitats became painfully clear when, in 1992, Goodall flew over Gombe and witnessed the almost total loss of trees. “She realized the problems faced by the villagers, such as poverty, lack of clean water, education and primary healthcare, and overused farmland were intrinsically related to the environmental issues,” Humphrey said. “She saw that there were more people living around the park than the land could support.” Today, Goodall works to keep the institute’s various efforts afloat — a daunting challenge, given the significant resources needed to carry on the research and operations — while trying to impart her message of conservation to future generations. At the Sept. 28 event, held at the home of Bill and Michelle Lerach in La Jolla Farms, guests will be treated to refreshments by Snake Oil Cocktail Co. and an intimate poolside dinner with Goodall. The event will include a live auction with unique items like a trip to see the sandhill crane migration with Goodall; a VIP safari tour at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park with a private dinner prepared by celebrity chef Brian Malarkey; a framed tool used by a chimpanzee, featuring Goodall’s signature; and more.
