La Jolla Yoga Center stresses ‘never too young’ philosophy BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS “Criss-cross applesauce,” Amy Ragen instructed to her sevenmember yoga class as she entered the studio. Ragen, a certified yoga instructor and experienced personal trainer, teaches once a week at the La Jolla Yoga Center, but her audience isn’t your typical one. Her students range in age from 3 to 8, and they eagerly take her class
without their parents at their sides. Just like any adult yoga class, Ragen, a mother of three, started off a recent Tuesday evening class with breathing exercises. “Om shanti, om shanti, om shanti om,” Ragen chanted, after jingling bells to get her energetic students’ attention. As she repeated the classic yogi mantra, meaning “peace,” the kids chimed in one by one. SEE YOGA, Page 4
Come April of next year, the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health is not quite sure where — if at all — it’s going to get funding for routine beach water quality testing. As it stands, the state health and safety code mandates that the department test the water weekly from April 1 through Oct. 31, which is considered to be the peak beach season, and report bacteria levels to the public. But San Diego County’s contract with the state runs out at the end of December, and nobody has stepped up to foot the $300,000-a-year bill, said Mark
McPherson, head of the water quality arm of the county department. The California Water Resources Control Board (CWRCB) is the entity that has previously secured funding, and McPherson said San Diego County officials just got word Sept. 30 — via a statement by CWRCB board spokesman William L. Rukeyser in the Los Angeles Times — that the board will “most likely” hear a proposal in November to use $984,000 in state bond money to continue testing for one more year across the state. But Mike Grimmer, a spokesman for Santa Monica-based environmental SEE WATER, Page 8

Suns rise in the West: NBA team trains in La Jolla Phoenix camp held at UCSD BY ANTHONY GENTILE | VILLAGE NEWS With the NBA season starting later this month, the Phoenix Suns tipped off their 2010-11 campaign locally. The Suns held training camp at UCSD’s RIMAC Arena from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3, calling La Jolla home for a week. “It gives you a chance to bond with
your team,” said Suns head coach Alvin Gentry. “You’re kind of away from home and the guys eat together and hang out together.” The Suns squeezed in eight conditioning-heavy practices and a full scrimmage in their six days at RIMAC Arena, including two-a-days fromSept. 28 through Sept. 30. The last day of camp was followed by a visit to Qualcomm Stadium to drop in on a pro neighbor also visiting San Diego, the Arizona Cardinals. “It’s team bonding, working hard, having fun and coming out
of camp feeling more comfortable with one another,” said Suns forward Grant Hill. “I think we’re moving in that direction.” Gentry said team unity and the weather — even though Phoenix’s stay included record heat and a day of thunderstorms — were the main reasons Steve Nash and Co. brought their training camp to San Diego for the second year in a row. The return trip, however, also had a superstitious aspect. “We had good luck here in the San Diego area and we hope to
repeat that,” Hill said. After holding camp at the University of San Diego prior to last season, the Suns went 54-28 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in four seasons, losing to the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers in six games. The Suns are shooting for similar success this year. “We felt like last year with a couple of breaks maybe we could have scared Veteran forward Grant Hill and the Phoenix the Lakers into a seventh game,” Gen- Suns held training camp at UCSD’s try said. “Our goal is to see if we can RIMAC Arena Sept. 28 to Oct. 3.

La Jolla Art & Wine Festival uncorks new artistic direction BY LAUREN VENTURA | VILLAGE NEWS The second annual La Jolla Art & Wine Festival (LJWAF), happening Oct. 9 and 10 on Girard Avenue, will take its focus to new heights. Instead of bringing participants a mishmash of crafts and random wares, the festival will work this year to showcase only fine art and expertly-selected wines. Joseph Lillis, the new artist director for LJAWF, explained that the previous year had some kinks to work out and that 2010 will prove to be a major improvement on a variety of levels. “Last year, the event had a mix of vendors that didn’t even represent fine art, so this year we really looked to eliminate anything that wasn’t fine art,” Lillis said. “There are plenty of street or farmer’s markets and that kind of thing all around the area but what La Jolla doesn’t have is a first-rate art show. The nearest one is in La Quinta,” he said. In order to create this new ambiance, a team of prestigious artist jurors — handpicked by LJAWF’s organizers from universities and museums around the country — aimed to reduce the number of participants by using a selective scoring process for each artist that applied. This process helps to maintain a much higher quality event, Lillis said. Out of the more than 250 artists who applied, only about 150 were selected. “By bringing in the best art and the best collectors, the more

Teen’s selflessness leads to Everyday Hero Award

BY LAUREN VENTURA | VILLAGE NEWS Megan Hastings seems like an ordinary teen. She attends The Bishop’s School, is looking forward to turning 16 and getting her driver license, and she loves to read. It’s that love of books, though, that drove Hastings to do something so extraordinary that Youth Service America, a community service organization, awarded her with an Everyday Hero Award on Oct. 4. “Last fall I was going through all my books and I realized I had so many, but I didn’t just want to give them away. I wanted to do something with them,” Hastings said. That’s when she got the idea to give all her old books to Becky’s House, a
chain of local domestic-violence shelters run by the YMCA. After she contacted Becky’s House counselor Caity Meader, together they arranged for other students at The Bishop’s School to get involved by challenging them all to bring in at least one book. “I was hoping for about 800, because that’s how many students and faculty there are at the school, but by the end of the month I received 3,000. My garage was overflowing,” Hastings said. Her work wasn’t done yet.

Without hesitation, the kids took form. “Yoga is not just about poses,” Ragen told her fledglings as they continued bending forward and stretching upward. “It’s a way of life — a way of being passionate and showing compassion to the world.” The philosophy at the La Jolla Yoga Center, located at 7741 Fay Ave., is that “it’s never too late and it’s never too early to practice yoga,” said Genevieve Kim, the center’s general manager.

class offerings geared toward every age and skill level. These include a “Silver Age” class for students over 55, a “Mommy and Me” class for babies and “High School 101,” which earns local students physical education credit for attending. Getting kids involved in yoga works wonders in terms of developmental skills and self-esteem, Kim said, and it’s a good outlet for kids who may not be apt to team sports. “It lets kids explore physical fitness without having to have ball in hand,” Kim said. For Ragen, keeping kids on the mat is a challenge, especially when yoga postures often require deep stretching, balance or meditative concentration. To keep things entertaining, she incorporates yoga-related activities that provide kids practical, “off-the-mat” benefits. For example, she tells a different story from a different culture each week and integrates coloring exercises. “Remember how we are all connected through the Universe?” she asked the class while pulling out a box
of crayons and paper. “I want you all to draw what that unity means to you.” Ragen said she hopes to have her students put on a play for their parents in which they will act out scenes incorporating the yoga poses they learned in class. Keeping with yogi customs, Ragen ended her class with the classic “savasana,” a relaxation pose also known as the “corpse pose.” “Is it naptime?” one little yogi asked as Ragen dimmed the lights. While savasana can be the most awaited part of a strenuous class for adults, it was a special effort for Ragen to keep the kids still, flat on their backs, palms facing upward. Anya Fitzgerald, 7, and her sister Catherine, 3, have been students of Ragen’s for about a year — she teaches two classes a week in the basement of her La Jolla home — but they just started attending the La Jolla Yoga Center kids’ class in September. Anya said her favorite part of the class is the breathing exercises. “It helps me know how to calm
Hastings said she was inspired to bring her old books to Becky’s House because she knows how comforting books can be and she wanted, above all, to share that feeling with the victims of domestic abuse. “What really drove it home for me though was an experience I had one day while I was stocking books at the emergency shelter,” Hastings said. “There was a woman by me talking on the phone to tell her daughter’s school that she couldn’t attend that day because she and her daughter had been attacked by the mother’s ex-hus-
band. I noticed that her daughter was sitting in the corner reading. It felt good to see that these books were providing a small distraction during such a difficult time.” Since the books were provided, Meader has noted that Becky’s House has instituted a summer reading program, which works in conjunction with the San Diego Library. The program rewards kids who complete their summer reading lists with prizes such as museum tickets and passes to SeaWorld. “The reading program did so well

La Jolla man shares story of rescuing distressed diver BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS Around 7:30 a.m. on Oct. 3, Jim Ridgway was walking along Coast Boulevard near the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art when he heard something he doesn’t usually hear on his morning stroll. “I heard this voice calling out, ‘Help me, help me, save me,’” said the 70-year-old retired Wall Street trader who moved to La Jolla 12 years ago. “I asked someone standing near me, ‘Did you hear that?’” Ridgway and three nearby men rushed down to the water to find a middle-aged woman in full scuba gear entangled in kelp just offshore near the Children’s Pool. A female onlooker called 9-1-1 while the men tried to get the diver to shore. Two other divers tried to reach her also, but they were fighting the strong current. “She was using all her strength to untangle herself and once she’d get near shore, a wave would take her right back out again,” said Ridgway, a Minneapolis native who worked in New York City for 30 years. Once Ridgway and the men — two tourists and another man who Ridgway said had recently undergone surgery — managed to get the diver’s heavy tank off, they pulled her out of the water. About that time, lifeguards and paramedics arrived, Ridgway said. They had been responding to other incidents and arrived about five minutes after the 9-1-1 call, San Diego lifeguard Sgt. Ed Harris told the Associated Press. Ridgway said it took the strength of all four men to get the woman out of the current. “I’m not that young and we weren’t professionals or very big people,” he said. “We got knocked around pretty good.” Once on shore, Ridgway said the woman was “very spent.” “The girl had absolutely no energy and had swallowed a lot of water,” he said. “We were just happy she was alright.”

SAN DIEGO’S PROPOSITION D
Yes on Prop D:
No on Prop D:
Why I support Proposition D
A blank check tax increase
B y B I L L KO L E N D E R Having spent a lifetime in law enforcement — as a beat cop, San Diego police chief and sheriff — I know who to trust when it comes to protecting our families from crime. With the election this November, San Diegans will be making a decision that will determine the kind of city we live in. It’s never been more important than now to know who you can trust on Bill Kolender matters of public safety. For decades, the San Diego Police Department has been a national model of innovation and efficiency. We were leaders in the movement that brought about community-oriented policing. We have been able to keep our crime rates low and reduce our priority-call emergency response times, despite having far fewer officers per capita, and far less resources than other major cities. But without the reforms and revenues that will result from Proposition D, the future of San Diego — and the safety of its citizens — looks bleak. San Diego faces a $72 million deficit next year in its General Fund, the part of the budget that pays for essential public services like police, fire, parks and libraries. Police and fire alone account for half of all General Fund spending. If the City Council has to cut the budget by $72 million, it’s almost certain that public safety will take a serious hit. For years, the mayor, himself a former police chief, and the City Council shielded public safety departments from budget cuts. They did this by taking deeper reductions elsewhere, especially in park and recreation programs and library hours. Overall, more than 1,400 city jobs were eliminated. But as the recession continued to erode revenues, that wasn’t enough. To close a $179 million deficit last year, the city had to eliminate 200 police department positions, including personnel who assist in investigations, support our detectives and enforce neighborhood codes. In that same budget, the City Council began the “rolling brown-outs” at fire stations that idle eight engines a day and increase 9-1-1 response times. It also reduced lifeguard patrols, leaving one popular beach without anyone to guard swimmers.

Those were difficult decisions, but they will pale in comparison to the ones the City Council will have to make if Proposition D fails. Mayor Jerry Sanders has made it clear that cuts in public safety will be necessary to balance the budget. As preparation for next year’s budget, the police chief has been asked to propose $15.8 million in additional cuts. The fire chief has been asked to propose $7.2 million in additional cuts. Yet opponents of Proposition D want you to think these threats to public safety are not real. The spokeswoman for the No on D campaign recently advocated that the city eliminate its Lifeguard Service altogether, claiming that people who swim in the ocean should be prepared to pay the price for their risky behavior. The leading opponent of Prop D says it is “ludicrous” to think that the City Council would cut police, fire or lifeguards. A p p a r e n t l y, this politicallyambitious councilman hopes you will forget that last year, the City Council did exactly that. Mayor Sanders, by contrast, has been responsibly reducing and reforming the city budget for five years. And he says that deep cuts in public safety are inevitable if Proposition D fails. The public will have to decide who it believes. I trust Mayor Sanders. You should, too. — Bill Kolender retired as county sheriff last year after more than 50 years in law enforcement, including 13 years as San Diego‘s chief of police.

Every San Diegan wants their city government to get back on the right track. Fortunately, most San Diegans realize the way to fix city government is not to give it more money, but to insist on reforms to well-documented waste in the budget and unaffordable pension packages for city employees. Indeed, for years voters have wisely called on city leaders to Carl DeMaio reform city pensions, cut wasteful spending and open city services up to competitive bidding. Unfortunately, city leaders and city labor unions have spent years delaying, dodging and derailing reform in city government. Now, the politicians and labor unions are desperate — and are asking taxpayers for a bailout with Proposition D. Prop D would raise city taxes by a half-billion dollars — at a time when many San Diegans are already struggling to make ends m e e t . Wo r s e, Prop D gives city politicians a “blank check” tax increase with no guarantees on how the money would be spent. That’s why leading taxpayer advocates and government watchdogs all oppose Prop D. To try to lure voters into supporting this massive tax hike, city politicians and labor unions are saying simply “trust us.” Their campaign advertisements go to shameful lengths — threatening layoffs to police and firefighters. In this regard, Prop D is one of the most misleading propositions to make the ballot. While Prop D is being sold by city politicians and city labor unions as “restoring” vital city services, not a penny of the increased tax is earmarked for important programs such as police and fire services. To the contrary, with the city’s annual pension payment increasing dramatically each year, you can expect increased tax revenues to be diverted to the city’s financially-troubled pension system rather than to restore city services.

The pension and retiree health-care funds are more than $3.4 billion in debt — and the true annual cost of retirement benefits last year was more than $370 million — or roughly two-thirds of the city payroll. These costs are driven by unaffordable pension benefit packages awarded to city government employees over the years — a problem that Prop D fails to solve. City employees can retire as early as age 50, can “doubledip” by receiving their full salary and a full pension allowance during the last five years of their city service, and receive free taxpayer-funded healthcare for life — among other perks that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere but our city government. San Diegans do not receive these lavish benefit packages, but under Prop D they are now being asked to pay more during a historic economic downturn to pay the bill for them. In this regard, Prop D is essentially a “pension tax” that will be used to service unaffordable pensions and benefits granted to city employees over the years. Prop D’s proponents shamefully tout “reforms” as part of their ballot arguments to convince voters to approve the tax increase. However, Prop D does not require that any financial reforms actually be implemented. Moreover, several of the “conditions” included in Prop D are weak and outright misleading. While proponents claim they have already made cuts, the truth is virtually all of the positions eliminated over the years were vacant. When proponents claim they have reformed pensions, the reality is they have made only modest changes for new hires — and left the lion’s share of pension perks untouched. While they claim to embrace managed competition as part of Prop D, they refuse to commit to actually bid out any services. City politicians know the “conditions” in Prop D are simply provided to help sell a tax increase to voters. That’s why Prop D contains no concrete targets for actually saving money for city taxpayers. Without concrete guarantees that fiscal reforms will be implemented, the city of San Diego will continue to waste millions of taxpayer dollars each year.

La Jolla gallery hosts refugees for two-day event BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS Benson Deng and Benjamin Ajak were driven from their homes in southern Sudan in the ethnic and religious conflicts that have left 2 million dead, and on Oct. 14 and 15, these refugees will be in La Jolla to tell their story. Africa and Beyond, a gallery located at 1250 Prospect St. that specializes in African art, will host a two-day dual book signing and fundraising event that will feature Deng and Ajak’s book “They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The Story of Three Lost Boys From Sudan.” The gallery will also host photographers Angela Fisher and Carol Beck, who will be presenting their book “Dinka: Legendary Cattle Keepers of Sudan.” These world-renowned authors will sign copies of their books, for sale at Africa and Beyond, on Oct. 14 at 7 p.m., and they will engage in a lecture on Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. The events are free, but a donation or book purchase is suggested. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the California Sudanese Lost Boys and Girls Foundation, a group of local Sudanese refugees. Africa and Beyond owner Ian Allen said the foundation supports the more than 100 Sudanese refugees living locally — the “lost boys and girls of San Diego” — just like Ajak and Deng,

who co-authored their book with Deng’s brother Alephonsion. In 2001, more than 3,000 refugees came to the United States from Sudan seeking peace, freedom and education. These refugees, Allen said, are mainly young adults in the workforce “making a life for themselves in a strange world.” “I don’t know how any of us could survive through what all they have been through,” Allen said. “We are trying to save money for them so they can feel more at home here in San Diego.” In addition to its noble cause, Allen said the upcoming event is “very exclusive,” as special guests Fisher and Beck are only making a handful of stops in the United States to present their book. The two have dedicated their life to photographing the rapidly vanishing way of life of the indigenous people of
Africa, and they’ve been featured in National Geographic, Time and Life Magazines. On Oct. 1, the Explorer’s Club in New York City honored the two photographers with the Lowell Thomas award, putting them in an elite category with astronaut Buzz Aldrin and journalist Dan Rather. The gallery event will feature authentic Dinka food, and members of the California Sudanese Lost Boys and Girls Foundation will perform traditional Dinka dances. Allen said he looks forward to the public getting to meet some of the “lost boys and girls” in person. “They call them the ‘lost boys and girls’ because they really are lost,” Allen said. “Their whole culture has been ripped away from them.” Photographic prints from the Dinka book will be for sale. To RSVP, call (858) 454-9983.

CONTINUED FROM Page 1 group Heal the Bay, said $984,000 is not enough. That figure, he said, is 10 to 20 percent less than what California was getting ten years ago, and it would be “optimal” to perform testing year-round. There is no testing done in March — a month in which beaches see high numbers of Spring Breakers and tourists. Grimmer is the manager of Heal the Bay’s “Beach Report Card,” which reports water-quality data compiled by California’s counties. Heal the Bay put out an end-of-summer report Sept. 29 that showed San Diego’s beaches were among the best in the state this year, taking home all “A”s on their report card. But even though San Diego scored highly, Grimmer said that without routine testing there would be know way of knowing if local beaches become polluted by a random problem under the water table, such as a sewage leak or a bad septic system. With so much money coming in to the state by way of beach tourism, he said, testing is something health officials and politicians can’t ignore. “You can’t detect anything if you’re not monitoring,” Grimmer said. “If funding goes away, the public will have to swim at their own risk.” Water-quality testing is a “funded mandate,” McPherson said. “The state gives us the money and we have to do it,” he said. “But we only have to do it if they give us the money.”
The water-quality department, overseen by the county’s Department of Environmental Health, collects water from 44 frequentlyaccessed locations along San Diego’s coastline and analyzes the samples in the San Diego County Public Health Laboratory. In the case that the county doesn’t secure funding, McPherson said, “the [public health] issue would still be there, we just wouldn’t be doing the monitoring and alerting the public to the results.” Heal the Bay’s recent report showed the state of California had one of the cleanest summers to date, with mainly “A”s and “B”s, except for a few failing areas around San Francisco and Los Angeles. There’s one area that’s been problematic in Pacific Beach — PB Point. It’s gotten an “F” rating for several years in a row until this year, when it scored an “A+”. The sampling site was moved 75 feet in 2009 to a more frequented area, said McPherson, so that shouldn’t have skewed the results. He said the high reading had to do with the particular typography of that spot, which can cause seaweed and kelp to build up, and when debris sits in the sun it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Only 1,200 feet (about two blocks) from PB Point is another sample site, Tourmaline Surf Park, which has consistently scored highly. McPherson said this year’s higher scores could be attributed to a cooler summer or increased efforts by the municipal stormwater program, but he can “only speculate as to why.”

CONTINUED FROM Page 1 get back to that level. It’s important to try and maintain that level and we don’t want to take a step back.” Maintaining a high level started at UCSD for a Suns team that saw a fair amount of roster turnover in the offseason. Six players are gone from last year’s team, most notably center Amare Stoudemire, the team’s leader in scoring and rebounding who signed a maximum free agent contract with
the New York Knicks over the summer. “Even if you have everybody returning, you still have to work hard and come together as a team,” Hill said. “We have some new faces, so it’s important for us to work together and use this as a chance to get familiar with one another as we come out of camp.” The biggest of the new faces is Hedo Turkoglu, who came to Phoenix in an offseason trade that sent Leandro Barbosa to the Toronto Raptors. A 10year veteran, Turkoglu is expected to shoulder some the scoring load in the Suns’ uptempo attack.
“He’s what we thought he was,” Gentry said. “He’s a facilitator, shoots the ball well from three-point range, and you can put it in his hand at the end of the game and he can create a shot for himself or someone else.” Other newcomers include forward Hakim Warrick, guard Josh Childress, veteran point guard Chucky Atkins and a group of five rookies. Not all these players in San Diego will make it to Phoenix, however, as the Suns have to cut five players from their 20man preseason roster before the season gets underway.

“Obviously, Steve is going to start and Grant is going to start and Jason Richardson is going to start, but even the guys battling those guys are giving a good fight out there,” Gentry said. “That’s going to be good for us, because the harder we can play against our teammate and the more effort we can make them put out, then we become a better team.” Off the court, the Suns stayed at the

Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa near UCSD. In slightly different surroundings than 2009, the team still had a positive stay in San Diego. “This is a great place to be and the people here have been phenomenal the past two years,” Gentry said. The Suns began their preseason at the Sacramento Kings on Oct. 5. They open up the regular season at the Portland Trailblazers on Oct. 26.

Mixed bag for future of ocean health BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD
Part 1: A reel improvement It’s excellent news that Whole Foods Market has taken the plunge toward supporting the sales of sustainable wild-caught seafood at their stores. The seafood program presently used labels its wild-caught choices with a blue check denoting that it is MSC-certified (Marine Stewardship Council). However, this program has been called into question by a group of marine scientists, including two from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, for certifying fisheries that are unsustainable. While keeping the MSC-certified program, Whole Foods has now added another partnership we can trust. For a number of years, the Blue
Get daily news updates at
Ocean Institute and Monterey Bay Aquarium have independently been producing sustainable seafood wallet cards that use a color-coded system to evaluate seafood choices: Specifically, green or “best choice” ratings indicate a relatively abundant species that is caught in environmentally friendly ways; yellow or “good alternative” is more lenient but voices concerns about species status or catch methods; and red or “avoid” ratings mean that for now the species is suffering from overfishing or that current fishing methods harm other marine life or habitats. The two organizations are longrespected for the strength of their science based sustainable seafood programs, which evaluate species and fisheries on life hisSEE TIDELINES, Page 13
RED LABEL — Cheap prices have little to do with it! Pacific Rockfish comprise many species of slow-growing bottom fish. Problems include overfishing, which is easy to do with a slow-growing species. Some species live for 100 years, giving them plenty of time to stockpile toxins like mercury, PCBs and dioxin in their tissues. High bycatch is also a big issue because trawl gear used to catch rockfish is destructive to seafloors and their inhabitants. Though Alaskan rockfish populations are healthier than their counterparts in California, Washington and Oregon, some Alaskan rockfish species may be locally depleted. © 2010 JUDITH LEA GARFIELD
YELLOW LABEL — Ahi, otherwise known as yellowfin tuna, is a good example of the complexities in evaluating species health. There is an ahi population in each of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans and two populations in the Pacific. Though it varies, abundance overall is at mid-level. The Whole Foods label does not designate capture method, but I suspect this ahi was likely caught by troll or pole-and-line vessels, methods used for only 15 percent of all tuna species. The other 85 percent are caught by longline, being highly destructive due to bycatch numbers. Such tuna would instead be red labeled. © 2010 JUDITH LEA GARFIELD
GREEN LABEL — Northern halibut, also called Pacific halibut, grows much larger than California halibut (yellow labeled because set gill net catch method results in high bycatch). Found from Northern California to the Bering Sea, the Pacific species has a healthy abundance due largely to responsible co-management by the U.S. and Canada. In most areas, commercial fishers own shares of the total annual catch, eliminating the incentive to fish competitively. Though most commercial fisheries for Pacific halibut use bottom longlines, with seabird bycatch a concern in Alaska, these vessels are mandated to use seabird avoidance devices. © 2010 JUDITH LEA GARFIELD

‘Notes from Underground’

A riveting performance. Courageous, bracing theater at a time when most prefer merely to be entertained BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881), noted for such works as “Crime and Punishment” and “The Brothers Karamazov,” suffered from epilepsy and severe depression. This knowledge should come as no surprise to his readers and to theatergoers who see Bill Camp and Robert Woodruff ’s adaptation of Dostoevsky’s 1964 novella “Notes from Underground” produced at La Jolla Playhouse through Oct. 17. It is a Yale Repertory Theatre production based on a translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volohonsky’s. Woodruff, a noted avant-garde director, stages the challenging piece. He is remembered by Playhouse enthusiasts most indelibly for Bertolt Brecht’s “A Man’s a Man” in 1985, but also for his staging of Odon von Horvath’s “Figaro Gets a Divorce” in 1986, William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” in 1987, and Samuel Beckett’s “Happy Days” in 1997. He also co-conceived and staged “Le Petomane — A Comedy of Airs” for the physical comedy troupe The Flying Karamazov Brothers in 1992. Camp may be remembered for his 1998 Playhouse appearance in “Nora.” “Notes from Underground” is very nearly a one-person show, despite the collaboration of musician actors Merritt Janson and Michael Attias, who also composed the eerie, compelling score. The production is enhanced by the projection design of Peter Nigrini and the lighting design of Mark Barton. Scenic designer David Zinn created the play’s squalid apartment, which is covered with snow. The script concerns a recluse who refers to himself only as Man. He

An unattractive man. I think my liver hurts.” The introspective style and social observations put one in mind of Wallace Shawn’s “The Fever” and also the
work of August Strindberg. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said, “Poetry is born from the torment of the soul” — and Man’s soul and liver are tormented. Man recounts his miserable attempts to connect with former classmates and coworkers; his visit to the brothel; his insincere offer to help Liza, the prostitute, to escape the life; and his torment when he realizes she may indeed turn up at his apartment. She does, and the ensuing scenes are brutal and heartbreaking. We’ve all known tormented souls like Man, obsessively self-involved and unable, like he, to shovel the snow from their underground. The situation and the play may not be for everyone, but Camp’s performance is. He is absolutely riveting. It’s a towering performance that should not be missed by lovers of Russian literature and those fascinated with the workings of the human mind as it descends to madness. It is courageous, bracing theater at a time when most prefer merely to be entertained.

Starry, starry nights
with Vincent Andrunas Country Friends’ huge Art of Fashion show attracts many stylish women from La Jolla (and everywhere else, it seems). Fox 5 weathercaster Aloha Taylor emceed, bringing comfortably cool temperatures to this historically simmering event. Chair Andrea Naversen and her committee worked hard to make this 55th annual show very special. They were finally able to relax at the “Apres Affair,” where show guests enjoyed boutique shopping, Falkner wines, cheeses and designer chocolates. The event was a tribute to late Country Friends members Betty Zable and Betty Mabee, and proceeds will fund specific needs of 18 San Diego charities. ••• Deborah Szekely and her late husband founded Rancho La Puerta (RLP) in 1940, and began teaching people a simple and healthful lifestyle. They charged $17.50 per week, and guests brought their own tents. Today, the famed resort (named “World’s best destination spa” by Travel and Leisure magazine) attracts the rich and famous. Prices
have increased somewhat — but now include accommodations. Sheila Lipinsky and Madeleine Pavel chaired RLP’s recent 70th birthday celebration. After cocktails and a live auction (and before a delicious dinner), PBS-TV journalist and author Bill Moyers gave an enthusiastic and entertaining address. He and NPR senior correspondent Linda Wertheimer would be panelists at a symposium and luncheon to which gala guests were invited the following day. Attended by hundreds, the gala was a benefit for Fundacion La Puerta’s binational educational and environmental programs. ••• The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s Monte Carlo gala is one of the La Jolla’s most anticipated annual events. Chairs Sheryl and Harvey White’s theme, “Monte Carlo Does Bond,” transformed the MCASD galleries into Agent 007’s playground. Luxury, beauty and excitement were all in the mix. Some arriving guests drank champagne, but martinis — shaken, not stirred — were de rigueur. Tuxedo-clad male partygoers could pass for Bond himself, though without the Walther PPK, we hope. (Actually, one fellow carried his — fully licensed — but he’s a cop; not a spy.) Quite a number of the ladies were fully the equal of Bond girls from the movies. Some were armed (probably toy guns), but they were actresses, hired to represent such characters as Fatima Blush, the Trigger Girl and Goldie. Other beauties were simply gala
guests, doing very credible imitations of 007’s paramours in a scene worthy of Monaco’s Grand Casino. (Well, almost…) To handle the cocktail crowd, there were a couple of “regular” bars, plus a dedicated martini bar (with varieties named for Ian Fleming’s characters), and, of course, the requisite caviar bar. Tray-passed treats preceded a fabulous dinner beneath the stars, which began with a rich lobster martini (neither shaken nor stirred). Next, more caviar; then tournedos Rossini, and finally chocolate mousse — all worthy of a suave agent on Her Majesty’s Secret Service, between trips to the dance floor with some femme fatale. Then the “After Party” fun began with roulette, blackjack and craps (what — no Baccarat?!). Irwin Jacobs’ “Q-Lab” was a high-tech nightclub with entertainment, a long bar and comfy all-white furniture. A nearby room held auto-scoring dartboards, pinball, electronic motorcycle rides and an affectionate snake (see photo). More desserts, fine cheeses and assorted libations helped maintain energy levels (and courage). Top secret: Next year, Valerie Cooper and David Copley will chair this event.

13 Fundraiser partners San Diego celebrities with professional dancers BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS Malashock thinks you can dance. John Malashock, that is. He is a native La Jollan and dancer who returned to San Diego in 1984 after 10 years of touring with such modern dance troupes as Twyla Tharp. The purpose of Malashock’s return at age 30 was to establish what he thought would be a “more normal” life for himself, his wife, Nina, and their son, Duncan. To that end, Malashock even spent a few years in the world of business. But, he said, “You know how dance is — it called me back — there was not much choice in the matter.” The last thing he expected to do was found his own company. In 1988, along came the irrepressible Malashock Dance, and ever since, as a choreographer and dancer, Malashock has produced some of the city’s most exciting new works. “Most people know that dance, as a profession, is for very few people,” Malashock said. “But dance, as expression, can be for anybody, that there is really nothing like it.

bling and it’s exhilarating and it teaches you things about your capabilities and limitations. It is an exercise in life, no question.” When the interviewer remarked how he’s grown, Malashock laughed and said, “Yeah. Older. It’s amazing how quickly you go from sort of being the new kid to being the old kid.”
Celebrities and pro dancers For the past three years at Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall, Malashock Dance has produced a sold-out fundraiser titled “Malashock Thinks You Can Dance.” Having outgrown the Qualcomm facility, the event is moving to the Birch North Park Theatre on Oct. 9. There are 700 seats to fill (200 more), so Malashock thinks readers and dance fans must come share the fun. Asked where the idea came from, Malashock said, “Out of numerous people’s heads.” Around four years ago, he created a work titled “Fathom,” and board member Russell King brought a guest to see it. The guest was local resident

and Champion Ballroom owner Mary Murphy, who at the time had become rather famous as a judge on television’s “So You Think You Can Dance.” “We began talking and thinking it would be nice to do an event that involved Mary and drew on her knowledge,” Malashock said. In fact, Murphy was the onstage host at the first “Malashock Thinks You Can Dance.” Much like the popular TV dance shows, Malashock’s fundraiser partners San Diego celebrities with professional dancers in a friendly ballroom dance competition. Among this year’s celebrity dance competitors are KFMB news anchor Carlo Cecchetto, Channel 4 sports anchor John Weisbarth, San Diego Asian Film Foundation executive director Lee Ann Kim and Gente Bien magazine creative director Danitza Villanueva. Though winners are determined by audience vote, celebrity judges are Brian Malarkey of “Top Chef ” and San Diego radio personality Jerry Cesak. Yolanda S. Walther-Meade is event chair. Honorary chairs are Mayor Jerry Sanders, Rana Sampson and Dea and Osborn Hurston. Comedian emcee is Monique Marvez. VIP ticket holders will enjoy 6:30 p.m. pre-show cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, the competition commences at 8 and all attendees are invited to a post-show “Meet the Dancers” party with coffee and dessert. Tickets range from $50 to $150. Proceeds from “Malashock Thinks You Can Dance!” benefit Malashock

What’s ‘Black & White’ and worth a look? BY WILL BOWEN | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Art Association (LJAA), located at 8100 Paseo del Ocaso in La Jolla Shores, inaugurated a new and unique annual competition recently, which it called the Southern California Black & White Juried Exhibition. All art submitted had to be in black and white — not a drop of color was allowed. One hundred and eleven artists submitted 279 individual works of art. Thirty-nine artworks made it to the final round and are currently on exhibition at the LJAA gallery until Oct. 10. The show runs the gamut from painting, water color, photography, sculpture and mixed media. There is even a rotating plate and tea
cup piece and a life-size sculpture of an ostrich! Awards were given for first, second and third place, plus an additional Award of Merit (honorable mention). The entire collection was judged by Manuelita Brown, a local sculptor who created the Triton Fountain at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Price Center and “Almas Del Mar,” a dolphin sculpture in the fountains at UTC Westfield shopping mall. “There is something to intrigue every visitor, from Keiko Tanabe’s China watercolor to a rhinoceros etching by Jerome Walker to Lois Adler-Roussell’s jazz linoprint to the show-stopping first place blue ribbon photo of an Afghan
“Jazz” by Lois Adler-Roussell is a linoprint of a jazz trumpeter and two dancers.

The La Jolla and Golden Triangle Chamber of Commerce held its September Business After Five Mixer at Harry’s Bar and American Grill. The patio was packed with networkers meeting other business owners and executives. The special guest was San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts. He was invited so the Chamber could express their thanks for the Community Service Grant it recently received form the Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Roberts offered remarks
about the value of the Chamber and how the Chamber and government can work together to bring jobs to the area. The grant money will be used for several things: One important project will be working with the Green Chamber of Commerce to bring green jobs and technology to the area. Another project is the creation of a Community Services Directory. The directory will have sections for charities, youth groups, other community service groups
and information on elected officials. There will also be a restaurant and hotel guide. If you would like your group or organization considered for inclusion in the directory e-mail your information to financialbodyguards@yahoo.com. The next Business after Five Mixer for the La Jolla and Golden Triangle Chamber will be on Oct. 13, 5:30 p.m. at Extreme Pizza, 834 Kline St. in La Jolla, CA. Extreme Pizza will be providing generous samples of its specialty pizzas and salads.

Second place went to Ally Penbrook for a watercolor painting of a sad dog waiting for its master to come home, titled “Patience.” Third place was awarded to Joan Nies for a rectangular abstract work called “Abstract Hills,” and the Award of Merit was given to Roxanne Smith for a mixed media piece that used text, newspaper print and paint, called “Chaotic Times.” There were a number of other works that could have just as easily won awards in the show. Lois AdlerRoussell submitted a wonderful linoprint of a jazz trumpeter and two dancers, while Peggy Hinaekin’s abstract mixed-media piece in gray, white and black is truly outstanding. Jill Rowe has a wonderful digital painting of lily pads on view, and John Ford’s photograph of a tree on a foggy lake in Tasmania is exquisite. Robert Boyd’s wall sculpture of an abstract piano keyboard is lovely, and Joan
Everds’s large photograph of weathered shovels helps us to appreciate the beauty to be found in everyday objects. For further information, see www.lajollaart.org or call (858) 459-1196.

Brown, who has a master’s degree in psychology from UCSD, has a small bronze sculpture titled “Nubian Bather” in the show. Brown said that it was difficult for her to make the final selections because of the overall quality of the submissions. “I was impressed by the range and diversity of media, style and subject of the works,” she said. “I looked for work which conveyed to me cohesion of thought, deliberation and intentionality, in addition to skillful use of the medium.” First place went to Russian-born Lev Tsimring, who works as a physicist at UCSD, for a photograph of a weathered, wizened and wrinkled older
