The gears have begun cranking for Promote La Jolla to be up and running by December since City Council unanimously approved its $133,000 budget on Nov. 23.

Promote La Jolla — the village’s Business Improvement District (BID) — won’t be running at full capacity, however, since the city will take $17,500 from the budget to administer the BID. Plus, Promote La Jolla won’t hire a full-time executive director as in past years.

Nonetheless, the city will retroactively assess the businesses since it stopped collecting fees in July, and volunteers will no longer be burdened with carrying out Promote La Jolla’s work.

The city continues to investigate the actions of the former board that the city auditor’s report charged with misappropriating $112,070 in funds.

A group of La Jollans went to city hall to ask City Council to approve Promote La Jolla’s 2010 budget.

“The country and San Diego are experiencing the worst economic downturn that most of us can remember, and La Jolla is no exception,” said Daisy Fitzgerald, who said she was elected to the “reform board” in 2008 as treasurer for Promote La Jolla. Fitzgerald also manages Ark Antiques, an antique consignment store that benefits animal charities.

“At a time when La Jolla businesses need all the help they can get, the BID has been

Building a strong program over the years, the La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School girls volleyball team knocked off perennial power The Bishop’s School Saturday to claim the CIF Division IV crown at Cathedral High.

With its 25-20, 21-25, 25-23, 25-22 victory, the top-seeded Lady Torreys captured their first CIF crown in six years. The win also meant a season series lead for LJCD over Bishop’s, as the two compete in the Coastal League.

Key players for LJCD included Gillian Howard (seven blocks) and Mollie Rogers (19 kills).

“It was a great team effort with all the players contributing to the win,” LJCD head coach Peter Ogle commented.

LJCD had advanced to the finals with wins over Escondido Charter and Francis Parker. The Lady Torreys then prevailed Nov. 24 over Anaheim Connelly, beating the visitors 25-12, 25-11 and 25-9 in the first round of the Southern California Regional playoffs.

They will host Visalia Central Valley Christian on Saturday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m.

Bishop’s was led by Ina Kamenova, who turned in 39 assists.

The Lady Knights then defeated the host L.A. Foshay on Nov. 24 to stay alive in the Southern California Regional playoffs. They will host Whittier Christian on Saturday, Nov. 28.

On the football field, La Jolla High opened CIF play last Friday night with a 3832 victory at home over Palo Verde Friday.

“Our offense was very productive and allowed us to control the game,” La Jolla High head coach Rey Hernandez noted. “Palo Verde had an explosive offense and we failed to play effectively on defense.”

La Jolla quarterback Zac Zlatic ran for a 62-yard touchdown and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Braden Fudge. Hernandez noted that Fudge (Western League kicker of the year) also did an outstanding job with all the kicking responsibilities and kicked a 45yard field goal. Matt Petch added a 19-yard touchSEE CIF, Page 4

Telling the musical tale of Bonnie & Clyde

BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS

The opening number in Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd” invites audiences to “attend the tale of Sweeney Todd,” which we do, and despite the horrendous bloodshed he causes, we empathize with him because he was so wronged. Who can fail to be moved when Todd realizes the beggar woman he’s just murdered was his wife?

It’s much more difficult to empathize with Bonnie Parker and

Clyde Barrow, even in the world premiere musical, “Bonnie & Clyde,” playing at La Jolla Playhouse through Dec. 20. The musical’s collaborators face a dilemma similar to Sondheim’s — how to tell a grisly tale in music without adulating and glorifying. But ever since Bonnie and Clyde went on their murderous crime spree in the early 1930s, they have been adulated and glorified, achieving the status of cult heroes, rebels with nothing better to do. Expanding on the myth we find the 1967 film

with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, the TV documentary titled “Bonnie & Clyde: The True Story,” a 2010 remake of the film and recent book titled “Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde.” And now they have their very own musical.

Ivan Menchell (book), Frank Wildhorn (music), Don Black (lyrics) and Jeff Calhoun (direction and musical staging) charge themselves with making us love or at least empathize with these two Stark Sands as Clyde and Laura Osnes as Bonnie in La Jolla Playhouse’s new SEE BONNIE & CLYDE, Page 8

Marine Protection Act,” Weiss said.

The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) voted to give ’em enough rope at the Nov. 5 meeting. The board voted 7-5-1 to permit the Park and Recreation Department to erect its annual, half-inch rope and three warning signs not to disturb the seals during pupping season from Dec. 15 to May 15 at the Children’s Pool, also called Casa Beach.

At the same time, a 3-foot sign will announce that the beach is still open.

Trustees expressed opposition to the rope barrier because of its inconsistency with the community plan.

“I reject the rope barrier because it’s not consistent with the public access provisions of the La Jolla Plan,” trustee Phil Merten said.

Trustee Roy Weiss, however, gave his approval for the rope, which he likened to a fence surrounding a pool: a necessary barrier to prevent people from harassing the seals and violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act. “The city is just trying to thread the needle between public access and the

Flaunting flautas Jose’s Courtroom Mexican restaurant at 1037 Prospect St. wants to put La Jolla on the map for the person who will set the world record for eating the most flautas, a thin, rolled flour tortilla, deep fried and filled with ground chicken.

Professional eaters are expected to gulp down 60 to 70 flautas within eight minutes to compete for the $2,000 prize.

Jose’s will close its strip of Prospect Street and host the world championship flauta-eating contest on Dec. 6, the same day as the holiday parade. Jose’s will serve food and host a beer/margarita garden, beginning at noon, and expects 200 to 300 people. The restaurant will also offer face-painting activities for children at the south end of the street during the parade, which starts at 2 p.m.

“I’m concentrating on making it an event that works well with families and that works with adults,” Jose’s owner Bill McHugh said.

In fact, La Jollans completed their fund-raising goal this week to raise $6,400 for lights and banners to decorate the village (see LaJollaGives.org), including the “Season’s Greetings” sign over the throat.

“The silver lining in all these problems is that the businesses realized how much Promote La Jolla did for the village,” said Joe La Cava, president of the La Jolla Community Planning Association, also at the helm to raise the funds to decorate the village. I

Rick Wildman, chair of Promote La Jolla who was also elected in 2008, said the absence of Promote La Jolla has brought the community together and created more transparency in the board.

NEWS 3 Shores Association will elect board Maslow ready for a ‘Big Time Rush’ THURSDAY · NOVEMBER 26, 2009 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

BY ADRIANE TILLMAN VILLAGE NEWS

Nine La Jolla Shores residents are running for eight seats in the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) board of directors election in December. The board reviews building permits, enforces the Planned District Ordinance and monitors the shoreline.

Residents, business and property owners or operators may vote; ballots are due Dec. 4.

The LJSA also represents the community’s interests before the mayor-appointed La Jolla Shores Planned District Advisory Board, which reviews permit applications to provide recommendations to the city’s planning director.

The LJSA meets the second Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. in building T-29 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

For more information email LJSA@san.rr.com or visit www.lajolla guide.com.

The nine candidates have submitted the following statements: • Ed Furtek, incumbent Ed Furtek has 30 years experience in government and community relations, including ser-

vice as chief of staff for U.S. Senator John Glenn (D-OH), and U.C. San Diego Vice Chancellor for Government and Community Relations. He has served as a board member on San Diego’s Naval Base Reuse Commission, UCSD CONNECT, San Diego East County Economic Development Corp and La Jolla Shores Planning Association. Furtek is a member of the LJSA Permit Review Committee. He and his wife, Kathleen Ritzman, have lived on Via Capri for 14 years and have two children.

• Barry Graceman Since moving to La Jolla from Minnesota 10 years ago, Graceman has volunteered at SCORE, a counseling service to America’s small businesses, as a counselor and board member. Graceman is a board member for Junior Achievement; directs the marketing and publicity for AARP TaxAide for five counties in Southern California; is active in the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary; and is a member of La Jolla Community Planning Association.

Before moving to La Jolla, Graceman and his wife, Susan, lived in Minneapolis where Graceman ran his own busi-

ness, was very active in business associations and served on many nonprofit boards.

• Max Ladjevardi Ladjevardi has lived in La Jolla Shores for 10 years with his wife and two children, who are students at Torrey Pines Elementary. Ladjevardi said he’s worked “passionately” to restore and maintain one of La Jolla’s landmark residences, the Taj Mahal, with its domed ceilings.

“I’m interested in serving on the LJSA board to contribute back to our beautiful community,” Ladjevardi said.

Ladjevardi has a 45year background in business and an MBA from Harvard.

• Weston Anson “As a 25-year resident of the Shores (El Paseo Grande), I am very interested in helping the association, either as a board member or in other ways,” Anson said in his statement.

You may have seen him relaxing with friends at the Living Room on Prospect Street, or dining at Sushi on the Rocks. He’s an avid surfer at Scripps Pier and Black’s Beach. These days he spends most of his time in Hollywood, however.

La Jolla resident James Maslow flew the coop a few years ago, and is on the fast track to stardom after a childhood training his voice and theatrical skills in San Diego.

Maslow, 18, stars in Nickelodeon’s “Big Time Rush,” a scripted show about four boys from Minnesota who are given the opportunity to prove themselves in the Hollywood music industry. The show’s preview airs Saturday, Nov. 28 at 8:30 p.m.

As a child, Maslow sang everywhere, all of the time but was not particularly pleased when his parents “threw him” in the San Diego Choir to formally train when he was 6 years old.

(Maslow said his parents are not musical themselves). Maslow resented the structure at first but quickly decided to dedicate himself to his life’s passions: singing and acting.

He attended La Jolla and Torrey Pines elementary schools, then Muirlands Middle School, and then began an hour-and-a-half bus journey to the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts in National City.

Maslow had an early taste of the stage: He performed in “La Boheme” with the San Diego Opera when he was 10 years old. He honed his skills at a six-week acting camp at the La Jolla Playhouse. By the age of 14, Maslow had found an agent and began training for film and television.

“I fell in love with singing and theater, and the arts in general, because it was a place where you could do whatever you wanted to do and express different palettes,” said Maslow, who credits his tenor singing ability to his music teacher, Leigh Scarritt, who also teaches at Culture Shock Dance Center.

In high school, Maslow said he discovered

new elements in his voice while performing Danny Zuko in “Grease” and Maurius in “La Miserable.” Halfway through 10th grade, Maslow transferred to the Coronado School of the Arts “for another experience,” he said.

Maslow claims he’s not the “lovable narcissist” driven by fame, clothes and money like his character in “Big Time Rush.”

“I want [success] just as bad as him but I want it because I enjoy singing and acting,” Maslow said. “I know the show will give me the opportunity to continue to do this for the rest of my life as long as we do a good job.”

After two years of filming “Big Time Rush,” Maslow is taking a break this week and chilling in his hometown of La Jolla.

“This is the most fun I’ve had in my life,” Maslow said. “I can’t believe it’s my job.” I

I am also a trustee on the La Jolla Community Planning Association. I am concerned with the over-development and building of residences that are out of proportion with their neighborhoods. Too many projects are being built on small lots with no setbacks due to insufficient protections in our Planned District Ordinance (PDO). I am working with the community on getting the PDO updated.

La Jolla Boy Scout Troop 506 invites the community to learn more about its activities during an open house on Monday, Nov. 30, 6:30 p.m., at the La Jolla United Methodist Church, 6063 La Jolla Blvd.

The Boy Scouts teaches survival, civic and leadership skills, and aims to build character in its troops. Many Boy Scouts have risen through the ranks at Troop 506 to tackle impressive projects and become Eagle Scouts, the highest rank of honor. In the past

three years, more than 80 percent of the members have achieved Eagle status.

Scouting is also a nonstop adventure. Last year, the Boy Scouts in Troop 506 went tubing in Mission Bay, mountain biked at Mt. Laguna, surfed at San Elijo State Park, backpacked in the Sierras, canoed down the Colorado River, skied at Big Bear, rock-climbed at Joshua Tree and camped on Catalina Island.

Forty boys and 16 adults make up the troop, which was founded in 1964 and has been chartered by the La Jolla United Methodist Church.

Interested members are always invited to drop by the United Methodist fellowship hall to learn more on any Monday from 6 to 8:30 p.m. For more information call Mark, (858) 483-3642.

The police officer was responding to a call but was driving under the 45 miles per hour speed limit and did not have his siren or lights on, according to Detective Wall, who requested his first name not be published.

Pilot program has lowered parking rates, increased revenue

By KEVIN FAULCONER n just five years, the Downtown Parking Management Group (DPMG) has managed to lower metered rates and increase revenue without wading through a sea of bureaucratic red tape. More local control and less government has led to dramatically positive results, and I believe it’s time for the City to expand on this successful formula.

The group — made up of downtown residents, business owners and community leaders — was formed in 2004 and given the authority to alter parking meter rates and hours of operation in certain areas of downtown.

What DPMG members quickly learned, after working with a consultant, is that many of the meters in the pilot area were underutilized. Industry experts say 85 percent of metered spaces should be occupied throughout the day.

On streets with low meter usage, the DPMG reduced the City’s standard hourly rate, $1.25, to as low as 50 cents in some places. It also extended the maximum parking limit — up to 9 hours in certain areas. The result: A 106 percent increase in utilization, and an 89 percent increase in parking meter revenues between 2005 and 2007.

By lowering meter rates and extending limits, the City brought in more parking meter revenue. This is an important point, obviously.

And it couldn’t have happened any other way because the DPMG does not have the authority to raise rates.

Mayor Jerry Sanders will soon bring his Parking Meter Utilization Plan to the City Council. The goal of that plan is threefold: Increase community control over parking meter rates and hours of operation, better utilize metered spaces and streamline the process to remove

politics and bureaucracy.

Similar to the pilot zone governed by DPMG, the mayor’s plan would give established neighborhood parking groups the authority to alter times and rates in order to maximize parking usage.

Changes could be appealed to the City Council, but neither the mayor nor the City Council would have the authority to increase rates.

San Diego’s meters currently cost parkers $1.25 an hour from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday-Saturday — everywhere in the City outside of the downtown pilot area.

Under the mayor’s plan, rates in certain areas could increase to $2.50 an hour and enforcement could be extended to 11 p.m., but nothing would change without the approval of local parking groups, and rates would likely decrease in most places.

The mayor’s plan is expected to come before council before the end of the year.

It’s an issue I’ve monitored closely because downtown is home to the highest concentration of metered parking spaces.

Community members are the ones who should be deciding what works best for downtown residents, businesses and tourists. It’s one of the reasons why I’ve been such a strong advocate of DPMG. The Mayor’s plan would set parameters. It could not be used to increase meter rates or extend hours of operations without community input.

You cannot argue with the results of the DPMG. Building upon its success, we now have an opportunity to expand the pilot program across San Diego.

Exercising the right to criticize is a badge of honor. This demonstrates our principle of democracy, especially the right of free speech. Just as many Americans spoke out against ex-president Bush and actually engaged in Bush-bashing, it was our privilege in our truly free society to voice our opinions without fear of recrimination.

We have shown the world our dedication to freedom of speech and justice, by our government investigating President Richard Nixon, who ultimately resigned, and also President Bill Clinton, who was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1998.

Conservatives and liberals alike have the right to their opinions.

A gift of love I

t’s been over three weeks since he died, time to start looking through some of his belongings. I started with the drawers by his bedside. I found the usual: eyeglasses, a flashlight, a pocket reading lamp, a letter opener, some change, his Kindle, nail clippers, and — a bill dated last February for a sapphire bracelet from Bowers — I startled.

I have never worn sapphires and have nothing to go with such a bracelet; also, it was purchased months ago, and I certainly didn’t receive anything. So if it was not for me, who was it for? I immediately dismissed the thought of another woman, but wondered whether he wanted to thank someone for a favor once given — but we always told each other everything. As it was Sunday, I couldn’t call the jewelry store and so puzzled over this strange find.

Monday morning I called and was told that indeed such a bracelet had been purchased for me by my husband. Didn’t he pick it up? No, I said — I didn’t see it. I was asked to look in my safe and when I answered them that I couldn’t find it anywhere, a search was conducted and the object was found in their safe.

I was so shaken by this that I asked my secretary, Erika, to drive down to the store with me. At my arrival, I was handed two boxes beautifully wrapped. The square box contained lovely sapphire earrings and the larger box a tennis bracelet of small sapphires and diamonds — and I was told the story.

My husband went to the jewelry store last February looking for a

sapphire bracelet, as it was a stone he knew I did not have. He ordered a sapphire tennis bracelet to match the ruby one he had bought me previously — “She could wear them together,” he told Chris, the salesman, “but she has no earrings to match.” He found nothing ready made to his liking, so he decided to design from scratch, carefully selecting a matched set of sapphires the sparkling blue color of the stones in the bracelet and small diamonds to surround them. He even secretly brought in a pair of my favorite earrings to match the size and style I like best and remembered to have them made as clips because I don’t have pierced ears.

He had to go many times, and it must have been an effort as he was already in quite a bit of pain. He explained that he wanted it for my birthday in October. By this time, I’m crying, my secretary is crying, Sheila, the owner of the store is crying, and Chris’s eyes are red.

He explains that this was very important to Herman, and he took a very long time choosing the stones and the setting. Once when he came in, Chris told him he looked tired, and Herman replied that he had cancer and was dying and did not think he would still be

here for my birthday in October.

On June 25 he called and said he was going for lunch at the Rotary and would be picking them up afterwards, to please wrap them up very beautifully. They would be for our wedding anniversary in July. After lunch, Herman’s pain became worse and he had to lie down. He probably planned to pick it up the next day — except that the next day he was taken by ambulance to hospice and never got better.

I could not believe that this was happening. I had in front of me a posthumous gift from my husband, once again, once more, a gift of love. He had just given me a lovely pin — a coral rose — and I thought it would have been his last present to me — and now this bracelet and earrings. I put both on and walked out sobbing.

Having been so loved and having loved so well in return are the rarest of gifts that anyone on this earth could experience. And so with this bracelet he was telling me once more and for the last time how much he loved me. It will be difficult to wear it without crying — without the pain of missing him so much, but then he would have wanted me to wear it, and so I always will. I

Living in a different city or state — miles from aging parents — can be very difficult. Keeping in touch by telephone and making long trips to help parents or aging relatives with their needs can be time consuming and not nearly as effective as being available full time in person.

According to a report by the Alzheimer’s Association of Los Angeles & Riverside, CA, there are approximately 3.3 million long distance caregivers in this country with an average distance of 480 miles from the people they care for. The report also states that 15 million days are missed from work each year because of long distance care giving. Seven million Americans provide 80% of the care to ailing family members and the number of long distance caregivers will DOUBLE over the next 15 years.

Geriatric Care Managers represent a growing trend to help full time, employed family caregivers provide care for loved ones. Care managers are professionals — trained to evaluate and recommend care for the aged. All of the care managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants, Inc. are RN’s who specialize in assessing the abilities and needs of the elderly. We also have caregivers who are insured, bonded and covered by Workers’ Compensation. Our caregivers are certified by the CA Association for Health Services at Home.

BONNIE & CLYDE CONTINUED FROM Page 1

young criminals, though the only wrong done them was being born in Texas and coming to majority during the Great Depression.

Laura Osnes and Stark Sands, the young Broadway stars that play Bonnie and Clyde, are appealing musically and visually. The buff Sands projects boyish physicality and a kind of innocence. He is best heard playing the ukulele and singing the laid back vocal, “Bonnie,” in Act II. The lithe Osnes, a redhead here, is more the belter in the music department. Her voice is not easy on the ear throughout its entire range, but she is certainly easy on the eyes and convincing as the young woman who gives up her go-nowhere job as a waitress to go on the road with Clyde, whom she finds more exciting than anything in West Dallas.

Mare Winningham, who gets a dynamite song titled “The Devil,” poignantly plays Bonnie’s mother.

Melissa van der Schyff and Claybourne Elder play her sister-inlaw Blanche and brother-in-law Buck, who join the Barrow gang, and Chris Peluso shines vocally as the lawman whose strongest memories of school are days when Bonnie was absent. Also strong vocally are Wayne Duvall as the Sheriff and Michael Lanning as the Preacher.

The most memorable songs include Bonnie and Blanche’s “You Love Who You Love,” and Bonnie and Clyde’s “The World Will Remember Us” and “Dyin’ Ain’t So Bad.” Wildhorn’s music is mostly in the country, gospel and ragtime genre. The gentle ragtime, employed along with silhouette in

the show’s denouement, puts one in mind of “Ragtime.” However, Wildhorn being Wildhorn, the composer does include some belted anthemic material, including “God’s Arms Are Always Open,” “These Are What You Call Guns” and “The Long Arm of the Law.” The piece is beautifully staged

by Calhoun upon Tobin Ost’s facile set (he does costumes as well), rising and falling rough hewn lumber panels, a few moving set pieces, and an effective series of platforms and ramps. Aaron Rhyne’s projections, Michael Gilliam’s lighting and Brian Ronan’s sound design exemplify the finest stage magic. To everyone’s credit, we are spared the final carnage, but see the news headlines with the full company, living and dead, on stage. It’s a wondrous, solemn moment, much more effective than yet another shootout.

John McDaniel, who conducted opening night’s pit orchestra from the piano, provides orchestrations, incidental music and vocal arrangements. Cris O’Bryon is associate music director/pianist and conducts performances following McDaniel’s return to New York.

Others in the excellent ensemble are Healy Henderson, Pat Pfiffner, Anthony Smith, Mark Shapiro and Danny Weller.

“Bonnie & Clyde” continues at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and 7 p.m. Sundays (no performance Thanksgiving) at La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD Theatre District, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive.

SENIORS High season at UCSD: ‘House of Bernarda Alba’

BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS

One might apply the term “high season” to UC San Diego’s theater and dance department. Earlier this month they produced one of the year’s best theatrical productions in “Topdog/Underdog” at the Arthur Wagner Theatre, and then severely tried the theatergoer’s patience with the dance/theater conflation “Sexual Selection” (just closed) at the Mandell Weiss Forum.

Now playing through Nov. 29 at the Theodore and Adele Shank Theatre (the former Forum Studio Theatre), Chay Yew’s adaptation of Federico Garcia Lorca’s final tragedy (1936), “The House of Bernarda Alba” is another test of one’s theatrical dedication. Directed by second-year MFA student Jeffrey Wienckowski, the work features five black-clad MFA students and one first-year graduate student as Bernarda and her daughters.

They are Natalie Birriel as Magdalena, Maren Bush as Martirio, Maritxell Carrero Galarza as Bernarda, Sara Garcia as Adela, Megan Robinson as Amelia and Taylor Shurte as Augustias.

Bernarda Alba’s second husband has died. The eldest daughter, Augustias, inherited money from her father, Bernarda’s first husband, and so she is courted by Pepe El Romano (dancer Abel Valdez, who does not speak), and who is in turn loved by Adela and Martirio.

After the funeral, Bernarda declares an eight-year mourning period and locks down the house, inhabited as well by her aged mother (Heather Ramey) and two servants, Poncia (Anne Stella) and

Blanca (Erin Bennett). Bernarda decrees that all must wear black.

Adela defies the order, in one scene of this production appearing in a red dress and declaring she will run through the streets in it. Her sisters restrain her. Emotions are restrained as well, but sexual tension runs high, resulting in violence and tragedy.

The organization of Lorca’s poetic text is fine, but much is missed because Wienckowski allows (encourages?) his actors to yell. At

one, two-hour slog, the production makes a long evening. In addition to the over-stressed voices that bounced off the theater walls, obfuscating diction, there is a cacophony of bells and stomping of the male, who represents Pepe and the restless Alba stallion. All the folderol is overkill. Lesson: The text must to be trusted.

Sohhee Han’s period costumes are wondrous, especially Bernarda’s black lace with bustle and Adele’s red defiance. Colin McGurk creates a set that plays on platforms in various locations, undoubtedly causing those on the sides neck convolutions. McGurk uses immense white papel picado (cut paper) hangings to represent the descent of the window curtains.

Stephen Siercka’s lighting scheme is effective, Aylssa Ihii creates the sound design.

Next up at UCSD department of theatre and dance is Tennessee Williams’ “Camino Real,” Nov. 23 through Dec. 6 in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre. UCSD utilizes the Theatre District, which it shares with La Jolla Playhouse.

En Pointe at Paradise Point Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas Since 1992, Steven and Elizabeth Wistrich have operated their City Ballet School in Pacific Beach, where they offer dance training programs for students of all ages. There are classes for children starting as young as 3 years of age, for older children, and for professionals and adults as well. They teach not only classical ballet but also contemporary ballet, jazz and even hiphop and krumping, thus ensuring the availability of a well-rounded education. They have outreach programs to introduce ballet to disadvantaged children, and workshops for teachers and dancers.

Last Saturday, City Ballet of San Diego presented its 15th annual Nutcracker Gala. This year’s event, held at the Paradise Point Resort, had a James Bond theme and was titled “Casino Royale.”

Following a Champagne reception and silent auction, guests were seated at dining tables surrounding a very large dance floor. Forty costumed City Ballet dancers (a dozen professionals, and 28 apprentices and trainees)

presented a rousing and colorful performance of Gaieté Parisienne (which most of us would equate with the French cancan).

Dinner, which followed the dancing, was topped off with “Decadent Red Velvet Cake,” a dessert that proved worthy of its name. Next, guests were invited to contribute to the education and outreach programs, for which City Ballet budgets $175,000 annually. A $750 donation would fund a local school visit for the “Ballet Goes to School” program, which introduces dance to more than 10,000 local children each year; $260 would pay for a bus to transport students to a final dress rehearsal ballet performance at the company’s new home, the Spreckels Theatre; and $50 would pay for shoes and clothes for a student in the “Discover a Dancer” program, which provides year-round ballet instruction for at-risk youth in City Heights. City Ballet board member and supporter Brian Marsh celebrated his 50th birthday that evening by offering a $5,000 matching grant that was easily met by the guests’ enthusiastic donations.

True to its theme, the evening continued with casino gaming.

High-rolling guests toiled tirelessly at blackjack, roulette and craps. At the conclusion, chips were exchanged for drawing tickets and happy winners went home with several fine prizes — including diamond and ruby earrings valued at over $1,500.

La Jollans profess spirit of thanksgiving

BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS

As friends and family gather around the table today, the La Jolla Village News peeks into a few homes to hear from a politician, policeman, scientist, business owner and resident about their holiday plans and Thanksgiving celebrations.

Sherri Lightner, District 1 council representative for La Jolla, will lay down her stack of budget reports and put on her apron for Thanksgiving to prepare a meal for eight or more guests. Her family will continue its tradition of barbecuing the turkey, which evolved out of her family’s past tradition of camping in the desert during the holiday.

Lightner rattled off a list of ambitious trimmings to accompany the bird: stuffing, red potatoes, sweet potatoes, bean Sherri Lightner casserole, Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, corn and giblet gravy.

The fabulous smells emitting from the kitchen delight Lightner, as does spending the day with her family. On Friday, Lightner will be back to the office reading budget reports for 2011.

Lightner said she is thankful to live in La Jolla Shores and to serve the people in her district.

“I work for very reasonable individuals who are very active and compassionate,” Lightner

said. “They usually do share their concerns before something happens rather than after something happens, which is very helpful.”

Scripps oceanographer Peter Franks has an exciting new project ahead of him, and nearly $1 million to accomPeter Franks plish it.

Franks and colleague Jules Jaffe are spearheading an effort to better understand localized oceanic climates — such as currents and salinity — that affect tiny marine creatures. To do this, the scientists are designing small autonomous underwater explorers (AUEs) to collect data from the watery world.

During the holiday weekend, however, Franks plans to dabble in beloved projects at home. He and his wife Sharon, also an oceanographer at Scripps (co-author of the children’s book “You Can Be a Woman Oceanographer”) and their 11-year-old daughter have cooked up half of the feast — including the turkey — to take over to their neighbor’s house to share a meal. Selfdescribed “foodies,” the Franks have rubbed the turkey with a garlic butter sauce, handmashed the potatoes and cooked the stuffing on the side to avoid salmonella.

Residents of southeast University City, the Franks met

their neighbors and Thanksgiving hosts while walking their therapy dog, Dashi.

Franks also plans to use the weekend to get started on his new woodworking project to build a coffee table for his friends. He just completed a cherry wood bench inspired by woodworker Sam Maloof.

Franks said he is “extraordinarily” thankful for his family and friends, as well as to the men and women who serve in the armed forces to protect the country’s freedom.

He is also thankful for the students he works with at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, whom he describes as “super bright, very cheery and energetic.”

“They make my life so easy,

Jay and Lael Kovtun

enriched and full in so many ways,” Franks said.

Jay and Lael Kovtun are familiar faces around the village known for the charitable work they began 53 years ago upon arriving in La Jolla from Seattle. They met each other while studying to become optometrists at Pacific University in Oregon. Lael ticks off the SEE SPIRIT, Page 14

A number of local cross country teams have been sprinting for the finish line as the 2009 scholastic season winds down.

At La Jolla High, the Lady Vikings recently finished third in the Western League finals.

La Jolla was led by senior Tatevick Simavoryan with a personal record (pr) in 19:46, junior Zoe Wescoe in 20:15, junior Catherine Russell with a pr of 20:41, junior Ilanna Fricks in 20:50, senior Jeanine Mejares with her best time this year in 21:03, freshman Megan Carroll in 21:11, and freshman Mele Johnson in 21:12.

Elsewhere, the Coastal Conference finals were held recently at Kit Carson Park in Escondido.

The La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) varsity boys came into this race as the favorites to clinch not only the Coastal North title for the fourth straight year, but also the conference championship for the second year in a row. Standing in their way was San Dieguito, hoping to reclaim another championship

before they exit the conference next year.

From the outset of the race it was clear that LJCD was the dominant team, with four of its runners in the front pack and a fifth not far behind. LJCD finished ahead of SDA by a 42-57 score to claim the conference crown.

As expected, Will Botta and Patrick Hoagland of Bishop’s were in the mix with Country Day’s Lee Klitzner (junior), Dennis Roth (senior), Alex Fleischhacker (senior) and Noah Wolfenzon (sophomore), along with Francis Parker’s Duncan Tomlin, San Dieguito’s Brendan Junge and Santa Fe Christian’s Andy Kramer. Most of this group remained intact for the first half of the race, and then groups of two and three began to separate in the last mile.

Botta slowly began to pull away from Klitzner just before the last set of hills, and then used the hills to secure his lead. Botta would indeed finish as the conference champion, in 16:49. Klitzner was SEE TEAMS, Page 15

LJ Yoga Center not a stretch for Carlstead

BY ADRIANE TILLMAN | VILLAGE NEWS

Twenty-two years ago, Jeanie Carlstead was trying to burn off some excess weight after giving birth to her daughter. She struggled in aerobics and her teacher politely suggested she try yoga instead. Carlstead said she immediately connected to yoga because it engaged all her faculties.

“It drew me in mentally,” Carlstead said. “It calmed me in a way so that I could really connect to my inner calm. I was such a thinker but it didn’t dull my mind; it sharpened it. I could stop the excess chatter so if I needed to be calm, I could be. And, also, if I needed to direct my attention like a laser, I could be very focused.”

Yoga has become a way of life for Carlstead that she now aims to share with the community. On Nov. 14, Carlstead opened the La Jolla Yoga Center at 7741 Fay Ave. with the vision to create a yoga center for the entire San Diego community that attracts high-profile teachers, supports the beginner and raises the standard of teaching.

The 6,000-square-foot center offers more than 90 classes taught by 49 teachers throughout the week to accommodate nearly every schedule. On Mondays alone, 22 classes are provided beginning at 6:30 a.m. The studio offers vigorous classes like Vinyasa and hot

yoga, as well as more relaxed classes such as Svaroopa, which focuses on relaxing into postures, and Hatha Yoga, which moves through poses more slowly than Vinyasa with fewer sun salutations. La Jolla Yoga offers classes to focus solely on the beginner student, open to seven students only with a concentration on alignment.

Specialized classes are sprinkled in the mix, including prenatal yoga, yoga for cancer recovery, yoga for SEE YOGA, Page 16

Boys water polo ends strong for several teams

BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

Several local scholastic boys water polo teams capped off their seasons with strong performances recently.

La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) finished the season with a record of 21-7, winning the City Central League and going undefeated 80. This is the school’s first water polo title.

Senior Ryan French made firstteam all league, also being voted the league’s most valuable player.

Juniors Liam Devine and Nick Augustine made first-team all league, junior Jack Hipkins and sophomore Adrian Everkiou-Kaku made second-team all league, and sophomore Kai Tuites and freshman Tommy Edman made honorable mention.

LJCD earned the number 10 seed in Division II for the sectional playoffs and faced off with the seventh-seeded University City High School last Thursday night, losing 8-4.

According to LJCD head coach

Steve Traverso, the Torreys will look to make an impact and be a very competitive team in the county next season.

Elsewhere, The Bishop’s School finished off another strong season with a 9-8 loss to Coronado last week in the CIF semifinals.

Bishop’s opened CIF play with wins over Valley Center and Santa Fe Christian.

— Editor’s note: La Jolla High did not provide information on its team prior to press deadline.

second in 16:58, which is remarkable considering he had mono less than a month ago. Tomlin would finish third, Roth fourth in 17:09, a course pr for him. Hoagland, Junge and Kramer finished fifth, sixth and seventh, with Fleischhacker and Wolfenzon coming in together in 17:24, eighth and ninth. Both boys set course pr’s, by 17 and 71 seconds, respectively. LJCD sophomore Jake Mack also improved by nearly a minute over last year’s effort, finishing 19th in 18:35.

Freshman Josh Pooley finished in 18:47 and 23rd place, while junior Phillip Poyhonen finished in 19:48 and 36th.

LJCD’s girls squad entered the race without their captain and top runner Sam Staszak, out with the flu.

“This was a huge loss, but still the girls were hoping to show improvement over last year’s con-

ference and league results, and gain some momentum heading into CIF next week,” LJCD head coach Scott Sanders noted. “It is a testament to the character of our girls that several of them ran their best race of the season and of their careers.”

Sophomore Maggie Taylor finished 12th in 22:13, a 5K personal record for her, and earned allleague honors.

Freshman Lily Wolfenzon was 15th in 22:36, only slightly slower than her 5K pr, which was set on a very flat course. Sophomore Alina Wong ran her best race of the year and set a 5K pr in finishing 21st in 23:03. Sophomore Emily Domanico improved over last year’s finals time by 17 seconds and finished 41st. And senior Lisa Felber, running in her last cross country race, went out on a high note in setting a 5K pr of 23:52, which put her in 33rd place.

Despite the absence of their top runner, the girls also accomplished their team goal of improvement,

finishing third in the league and fourth in the conference, one spot better in each than last year.

After easily winning the last Coastal South League cluster meet, the LJCD boys junior varsity squad was looking to win the conference junior varsity race.

The LJCD boys turned in several strong performances, including pr’s by senior Garrett Schneider (20:16, 23rd), sophomores Trevor Alexander (20:02, 16th) and Aaron Mak (22:48), and freshmen Alex Rapeport (22:11), Ariel Smotrich (22:21) and Alex Garcia (22:55). Sophomore Johnny Edman also ran his best race of the season in finishing in 22:40.

The Torrey scoring was led by freshman Jeff Clancy (19:55, 11th), who is also the LJCD varsity alternate. He, Trevor, and Garrett were joined by junior Chase Mertz (20:37, 28th) and Max Rudolph (21:27, 41st). Alas, the boys’ efforts came up a little short in the league standings, as they took second place to The Bishop’s School. I

Triathlon rolls in Two thousand bicyclists are expected traverse Mount Soledad and then head down Via Capri and Hidden Valley Road and across the Ardath Road intersection to Torrey Pines Road on March 21 from 7 to 10 a.m. as part of the first annual San Diego Triathlon, which begins and ends around Mission Bay. The roads will remain open, and bikers will be forced to limit their speeds to 15 miles per hour heading down Via Capri or else be disqualified.

The San Diego Sports Commission, the event organizer, plans to hire 300 police officers and 100 traffic controllers to monitor the roads. Police will guide traffic at the Torrey Pines/ Via Capri intersection during the race.

Despite concerns about traffic flow along Via Capri and through the throat, the board approved the event 8-3-2.

seniors (Golden Age) and yoga for a healthy back. Meditation and Tai Chi classes are also on the schedule.

“Sometimes we need more vigorous classes to burn off stress… Other times, we need more relaxing classes,” Carlstead said. “We’ve been running around all day and we need to slow down. At other times, we want to work more on alignment and get deeper into poses. Yoga has so much diversity and so much to offer. In different phases of our lives, we need different types of yoga.”

Carlstead has lived in La Jolla for 25 years with her husband and four children, the last of whom just left for college. Her children attended The Bishop’s School, where Carlstead taught meditation. She volunteered with the philanthropy group Las Patronas in various capacities for seven years, including one year as president — members dubbed her “the Zen president.” Carlstead and her husband, Jeff, own the Hampton Inn in Kearny Mesa, which they opened 20 years ago.

In the late ’90s, Carlstead recalls taking ideas she was learning as a graduate student and experimenting with them on her yoga mat. She studied intellectual history — or the history of ideas — at UCSD. “Ideas are always big and idealistic, but you need to be practical when you hit the mat,” Carlstead said. “I would test myself: ‘Am I being kind to myself? Can I find the edge where I can be strong but relaxed?’”

Carlstead feels that opening the yoga center has brought her full circle, enabling her to create a culture of care and respect and foster community, which she first found in yoga, and through studying the work of Carl Rogers, one of the founders of humanistic psychology who resided in La Jolla for a time.

“I want to create an environment where people can come and heal themselves,” Carlstead said. “It’s not just about healing but about becoming more fully who they are.”

The La Jolla Yoga Center will host yoga master Erich Schiffmann Jan. 15 through 17, and author, poet and lecturer David Whyte on Jan. 23. For information call (858) 456-2412 or visit www.lajollayogacenter.com. I

K9 PHYSICAL THERAPY/REHAB CUTTING EDGE K9 REHAB http://www.cuttingedgek9 .com Cutting Edge K9 Rehab Has Been Featured On Local And National News, Radio And A Number Of Local Papers And Magazine Articles. Swimming is one of our strongest recommendations for most K9’s. It is an ideal form of exercise for a number of reasons. Our rehab services offer assisted swimming in a warm water environment.

The benefits are: • Non-weight-bearing (reducing stress on joints) • Facilitates full use of the front and hind legs vs. partial use as seen with underwater treadmills • Dogs are often able to actively swim although unable to move their legs on land (due to stroke/spinal injury) • Allows manual techniques by therapist/ manual resistance to an affected limb • Swimming in a controlled environment is the safest way for clients to exercise. • Speeds recovery following injury/surgery • Improves function and quality of life • Works reciprocal muscle groups throughout the session (helps correct muscle imbalances) • Reduces pain and inflammation • Reduces canine obesity thus decreasing the risk of other health-related problems • Increases strength, range of motion (ROM) and cardiovascular conditioning • Prevents overheating through proper water temperature • Increases tolerance for extended cardiovascular training • Decreases recovery time • Reduces postexercise soreness • Provides good cross training for the competitive, athletic dog (619) 227-7802
