Santa Claus is comin’ to town LJ Christmas Parade set for Sunday, Dec. 7

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

“History on Parade,” La Jolla’s 51st Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, will kick off at 2 p.m.

Sunday, Dec. 7 in the village, featuring famous residents.

La Jolla Town Council trustees gathered an “A list” of locals, from this year’s grand marshal Ellen Revelle to legendary surfer Mike Hynson. Revelle is a member of the Scripps family and widow of UC San Diego founder Roger Revelle.

This year’s parade chair, George Dewhurst, and his son, parade co-chair Pancho Dewhurst, complete a multi-generational history theme. Their father and grandfather, Walter A. Dewhurst, was La Jolla’s first parade chair. His photo was used for this year’s parade posters.

The parade will start at Girard Avenue and Kline Street, marching down Girard and finishing at Prospect Street and Draper Avenue. The parade will feature floats, La Jolla’s legends plus bands, horses, all types of cars and vehicles,

along with “marshals, ‘Legends of La Jolla’ and local politicos,” said La Jolla Town Council President Darcy Ashley in a previous interview.

This year, LJTC is sponsoring a holiday decorating contest for merchants in the Village, Ashley said.

“The winner of the store decorating contest will be announced at the festival,” she said.

The Holiday Festival begins at 3 p.m. at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. The festival will SEE PARADE, Page 7

Water Board rescues beach testing Unused Prop 13 bond money will keep monitoring afloat into 2009

BY SEBASTIAN RUIZ | VILLAGE NEWS

The California Water Resources Control Board effectively restored a statewide beach watermonitoring program last month, giving county and state officials time to find money to keep the vital health program going.

The governor slashed funding for the water-monitoring program in late September with a line-item veto.

With county funds, envi-

ronmental health officials were able to continue monitoring San Diego shores through October in anticipation of state funding, San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox said. Officials were able to share that data with local environmental groups working to keep local waterways clean.

The state’s water resources board voted unanimously to pour more than $900,000 of unused bond money slated for Proposition 13-related

water-quality projects to fund the monitoring program into next year. The vote also gives the board’s director the power to extend funding for another year, if needed, up to $1.9 million, according to county Supervisor Greg Cox. Cox said the funding is a stopgap measure and that state and local governments will still have to find ways to fund the program into the future. Cox attended a Nov. 4 meeting, where he said several people spoke on behalf of San Diego County.

Peters reflects on city service

VILLAGE NEWS | PAUL HANSEN

District 1 City Councilman and Council President Scott Peters of La Jolla will say adios to City Hall Dec. 8 after two terms.

San Diego City Council President and District 1 Councilman Scott Peters recently sat down with La Jolla Village News to reflect on his past eight years in city council before leaving his termed-out seat to newly elected Sherri Lightner.

Peters plans to move to the San Diego Port Commission.

As council president, Peters was a central figure, voting on major issues in La Jolla and University City (UC), from the Regents Road Bridge controversy to La Jolla’s parking battle. He disclosed opinions regarding

several ongoing debates and talked about struggling to accomplish key projects.

“Over the past eight years in City Council, looking back on the stuff we set about accomplishing when I was elected, we’ve done a lot of good things. We’ve reconfigured the Throat, which was transformative for people getting in and out of La Jolla, whether you work there or live there,” Peters said, referencing one of San Diego’s busiest intersections.

Peters said he improved La Jolla’s busy Throat intersection by reconstructing SEE PETERS, Page 3

This past Tuesday, Dec. 2, the Bishop’s School Lady Knights volleyball team hosted Santa Fe Christian in the SoCal Regional Div. IV final, with the winner earning the right to face the NorCal champion on Saturday at UC Irvine in the state championship.

But the Lady Knights came up short, as the defending champion Lady Eagles prevailed, 27-25, 25-11, 25-19. Bishop’s Thea Derrough and Carly Bollert racked up nine kills, while Ina Kamenova had 22 digs in the losing effort.

Bishop’s made it into the regional fnal of the state playoffs after victories last week over Connelly of Anaheim and Calvary Murietta.

In the 25-13, 25-12, 25-14 win over Connelly of Anaheim, Julie Gantz led the way with four aces and 21 digs, while Kamenova (nine) and Bollert (eight) led the team in kills. Laura Aquilar was excellent off of the bench with 11 digs, and Maddie Lord gave Bishop’s a spark with four kills and some dynamic jump serving.

after a rocky start, the Lady Knights won, 21-25, 25-10, 25-16, 25-22.

Kristen Casey had one of her best matches of the season with 18 kills and 17 digs. Derrough chipped in 11 kills, and Kamenova totaled 42 assists, along with 10 kills and 13 digs. ■

green-light time in 2003, though traffic and parking will continue to be issues in La Jolla and UC, he added.

Peters achieved two major goals, he said: burying utility lines and completing Bird Rock’s improvements along La Jolla Boulevard.

When Peters began his council tenure, he asked La Jolla residents and neighbors their thoughts on local problems, seeking to assess the area’s needs for improvement, Peters said.

“When I walked the neighborhoods, anyone who talked about issues in La Jolla wanted to talk about one of two things — one was seals and two was the power lines,” Peters said.

He asked Bird Rock residents’ opinions by walking door-to-door in an attempt to gain understanding of their needs, he said.

“In Bird Rock in 2001 I walked the neighborhoods, if they wanted to talk to me … in Bird Rock it was always about La Jolla Boulevard, ‘It’s ugly, the businesses always fail, traffic is fast, I don’t feel safe walking across the street, I can’t get my stroller across the street, I can’t get my walker across the street,’” Peters said. “So I said, ‘Great, I’ll fix it.’”

Armed with a cause from the Bird Rock constituents, Peters said he met with the Bird Rock Community Council three times, in an effort to fix La Jolla Boulevard.

“We came up with a plan and I announced the plan and they went crazy,” he said. “People all over the neighborhood were just so irate, so I said, ‘We’ll have another meeting at Bird Rock Elementary.’”

Peters said he took his plan to improve La Jolla Boulevard —

which included focusing on traffic flow, sewer upgrades and parking — to Bird Rock Elementary School Aug. 1 and met a crowd of 350 people. “…It was like the torches and the battering rams as they came up one by one to speak about how awful I was. I thought, ‘Well, these were the same people who I went to in the community, and they wanted me to fix La Jolla Boulevard,’” Peters said. “So I said, ‘Well, we’re not going to do nothing.

We’re going to fix it.”

Although many residents gathered to reject Peters’ plan, he said he knew locals wanted to upgrade the main thoroughfare and believed the project would help the community and improve businesses. So, he grouped people from each block, hired a consultant and formed a committee, asking them to create their own project.

Peters said the residents’ plan worked. Bird Rock’s businesses are improving along La Jolla Boulevard. The project included roundabouts to keep traffic flowing and new diagonal parking, while the city fixed sewage lines.

“That was largely because the people in the neighborhoods stepped up and said, ‘We complained about this, now let’s make this better,’” Peters said.

Although Peters’ La Jolla Boulevard strategy worked — calling on Bird Rock residents to create a committee to fix their problems — results differed when Peters tried the same tactic in La Jolla Village, asking locals to pull together regarding their parking problems, he said.

“The thing about the Village is that even though they have competition from Orange County, I think there’s going to have to be more of a crisis or the players are going to have to change,” Peters said.

We’ve reconfigured the Throat, which was transformative for people getting in and out of La Jolla ....

SCOTT PETERS DISTRICT 1

Politicians attend many groundbreakings and ribbon cuttings, such as this renovation of Fire Station 13 on NauVILLAGE NEWS | DON BALCH tilus last July.

“They’ve been talking about parking since 1979. You have to have more community consensus than we have now. It’s unfortunate.”

As successful as Bird Rock’s committee may have been, the La Jolla Community Parking District Advisory Board (LJCPDAB) — one of nine parking boards formed by the City Council to advise on issues such as paid parking — may have been the antithesis.

La Jolla began implementing the parking process in 2005, when Peters created LJCPDAB to find solutions for parking problems, including paid parking. But many La Jollans rebelled, claiming metered parking would disrupt their businesses. Meetings grew in size and battles erupted, with locals claiming parking board members were corrupt. San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre stepped in last December, asking board members to disclose financial interests.

Peters and council members voted against forcing parking boards to

Enjoy pool, spa, waterfall, putting green on this huge property, ready for grand or intimate entertainment in style! …The ultimate playhouse for the most privileged…

disclose financial interests at the Feb. 2008 City Council meeting.

In April 2008, Peters told the Village News he decided to pull the parking plug, ending the LJCPDAB. But although he called for an end to parking committees, he said he doesn’t think paid parking problems are going anywhere.

“Those issues are going to recur and we can have a better conversation about that,” Peters said.

Peters said his other big accomplishment was helping residents who said they wanted to bury utility lines, resulting in the underground power line program.

Peters said he renegotiated the SDG&E franchise agreement with utility companies such as SDG&E, the phone company (now AT&T), Time Warner Cable and Cox Cable, calling on them to install power lines underground.

“In La Jolla that was the big thing, bigger than parking. It takes a long time to do,” Peters said.

After years of planning, trenches were dug and crews finished installing underground utility lines inside one La Jolla tract, according to Peters.

“All the trenching is done and now they’re connecting. Over time, power lines in La Jolla will be put underground, and we are also

starting the first block in UC, so that’s been a good thing,” he said.

“The next council’s going to advance the timing of it.”

Regarding UC, Peters said he was pleased with Westfield’s plans for the UTC expansion, which was planned years ago. Peters said he wants to preserve South UC’s single-family residential structure while continuing to implement more commercial and infrastructure projects in North UC. “The big issue starting out was the [Regents Road] bridge and the big issue today is the bridge,” Peters said. “I think we came to a compromise that would make the canyon a better resource but still provide the best traffic solution and provide fire safety.”

The Regents Road Bridge Project, currently in litigation, would connect South UC to North UC, but the project’s opponents said the bridge would infringe on Rose Canyon’s habitat — a natural preserve.

Peters then discussed “remaining issues in La Jolla” such as the lifeguard towers and the harbor seal colony at the Children’s Pool.

According to Peters, the city council issued a bond for two of La Jolla’s lifeguard towers in March 2008, after the city condemned the Children’s Pool station.

“We had a bond issuance of $6 million for two of the three towers,” he said.

But Aguirre pulled rank, Peters said, telling the council the bonds couldn’t pass.

“It’s possible that it could be revived, but economic conditions are tougher now. I hope the next council and city attorney can do it,” Peters said. “Mike and I had our differences … I never questioned his motives, but I just thought he

The Financial Advisors Radio Series

Ask Aubrey

you have any Q. Do thoughts of what not-to-do in the current market environment?

My recommendation is A. to not overact and sell at a time some folks are buying.

Given the severe declines in the stock markets, there is panic in the air. The obvious reaction is to sell and go to cash. For most, that may be the wrong thing to do. Equities and real estate most likely will outperform cash over the next decade – and possibly by a substantial degree. Historically, stock and real estate investments have achieved

growth in excess of inflation, cash and bonds have not.

Therefore, switching to an allcash portfolio is not a long term solution to stock market volatility.

DALBAR, a Boston-based research firm’s 2008 annual study of investor behavior, covering a 20 year period ending 12/31/07, indicates that the average investor has not faired nearly as well as major market indexes. Past results do not guarantee the future; however their research attributes this to making the wrong decisions at the wrong time – buying high and selling low. (Source: www.qaib.com) Some thoughts to remember: (1) Do not try to time the market – stay invested. (2) Do not chase the hot deals being promoted. Trying to catch hot deals might get you burned and is not how you build wealth. (3) Diversification can be one of the keys to building wealth. Maintain a diversified portfolio with an allocation that fits your tolerance for risk.

To create wealth, be an investor, not a speculator.

Peters, council continue Hillel proposal to Dec. 5

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

San Diego City Council members moved La Jolla’s controversial Hillel Jewish student center project to Friday, Dec. 5, the last day City Council President and District 1 Councilman Scott Peters will vote before leaving office.

“The problem was that it was improperly noticed to begin with,” said Michelle Ganon, communications director for Peters. “A portion of the noticing may have not made the 12-hour differential.”

Ganon said the city council moved Hillel’s project from the Tuesday council meeting to Friday at 10 a.m., ensuring any technicalities were met after a public outcry alerted officials to the problem.

“It’s really out of an abundance of caution. We are anticipating this continuance [to Friday] to avoid later problems with any accusations that we didn’t notice it properly,” Ganon said, adding that Friday at 10 a.m. is Peters’ last council meeting.

Despite speculation from locals, Josh Richman, volunteer for Hillel — a nonprofit organization proposing to build a Jewish student center across from UC San Diego at 8976 Cliffridge Ave. — said he never talked with Peters. And although each La Jolla community planning group denied the project, Richman said he is optimistic the council will pass Hillel’s project.

“We genuinely believe we’re improving that corner and the city will be selling a piece of land that otherwise wouldn’t be doing anything,” Richman said. “It was in

front of the city before and the city approved it before …”

Hillel proposed a similar project intended for Jewish college students to be sited on the .76-acre triangular-shaped Cliffridge Avenue lot at La Jolla Village Drive, between Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Scenic Way. But the La Jolla Shores Association sued Hillel’s first project with regard to issues such as parking and environmental factors. Richman said Hillel addressed every issue and hopes the council will value the group’s effort.

“I don’t think there’s a single neighbor that’s come out in objection to the project. All the objectors live away from the project, as far as I understand,” Richman said.

“Hillel is an upstanding organization that does good for communities all across the country. We believe the community’s concerns are exaggerated and overstated.”

But many La Jollans attended local community meetings, stating objections to the project. The September La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) voted against Hillel, following recommendations of two area committees that had previously voted against the student center. Additionally, LJCPA voted to send a letter to the city pointing out errors and requesting a better analysis of transportation, parking and an environmental report.

Bishop’s gridders win thriller; LJCD out

BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

The Bishop’s School football team had just enough ammunition left in its offensive weaponry to score a wild 50-49 win over Horizon last weekend in the CIF Division IV quarterfinal playoffs, allowing the Knights to move on.

Bishop’s trailed 21-0 after the first quarter and 42-21 in the third quarter but fought back to win the game.

Bishop’s Jacob Kelly had four touchdowns, including two in the last five minutes, while Mike Jensen had six receptions for 78 yards and added a rushing and receiving touchdown. Jensen also scored the 2-point conversion with 47 seconds left to give the Knights the lead for good. Running back Kyle Jester added 132 yards on 12 carries and freshman QB Joey Moreno was 10-of-20 for 108 yards and two TDs. On defense, Micah Seau had 12 tackles and Mike Jensen added 11.

Sophomore linebacker Alec Fisher had 12 tackles and a key fumble recovery that he returned to the 12-yard line with a minute remaining.

“I’m very proud of our players,” Bishop’s head coach Mike David commented. “Our kids never stopped believing.”

Bishop’s will play Christian High School Friday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. at

Elsewhere, La Jolla Country Day’s (LJCD) 2008 football season came to an end with a 43-24 CIF quarterfinal loss at Army/Navy Academy last Friday night.

The Torreys finish their season 8-4 while Army/Navy (9-2) will face Francis Parker (10-1) in the semifinals on Dec. 5.

LJCD QB Derek Hatfield once again stepped up as his team’s leader, starting the game despite the separated shoulder that he suffered in the second quarter of last

week’s first round playoff win.

Medically cleared to play but in quite a bit of pain, Hatfield was able to go just under three quarters until two big Warrior hits made it impossible for him to continue. Hatfield was unable to go at cornerback and was missed in the defensive backfield. He finished the game with 49 yards passing, hitting 5-of-9 passes. Junior varsity QB Grayson Tucker came on the field in relief of Hatfield and connected on 6-of-13 passes for 111 yards and two TDs (42, 37 yards).

Senior Kees Thompson gave it his all in his last game as a Torrey, scoring three TDs. Thompson’s first TD came on a second quarter 85-yard kick return, which he followed up by connecting with Tucker twice. Other Torrey receivers to contribute were Connor Gerhart (three catches for 31 yards), Doug Rogers (two for 27 yards), Anthony Torres (two for 17 yards) and Montell Allen (two for six yards). Allen also rushed for 35 tough yards on nine carries.

Linebacker Mike Bailey led the LJCD defense with 11 tackles (eight solos). Allen also made 11 tackles (three solos), while Thompson, Blake Mohseni and Indie Lavarias each recorded five tackles.

Senior kicker Zack Wolfenzon made a 27-yard field goal and hit all three of his PATs for the Torreys. ■

Municipal agencies checking for water bacteria levels around the city remained unaffected by the state cuts in September.

Without it, coastal communities could have missed warning signs about potentially unhealthy beach water, said Bruce Reznik, executive director of San Diego Coastkeeper.

“So we’re hopeful the city council will vote our project up — we’ve made changes to assuage them and maintain a project that’s viable, but we know we’ll be good neighbors,” Richman said.

San Diego City Council will meet Friday, Dec. 5 at 10 a.m. at City Hall, 200 C St. For more information on Hillel La Jolla, visit www.ucsdhillel.org/project.

Reznik echoes concerns over finding a long-term funding source for the program. Coastkeeper primarily checks inland waterways and relies on county and city data to lead volunteers to possible contamination sources. “[The program] has been a really important tool to raise awareness of the issue. Until then we … had a ‘head-in-the-sand’ approach. Everyone knew we had water problems but we didn’t have the data to back it up or to raise public awareness,” Reznik said.

The water-monitoring program started about a decade ago as a result of Assembly Bill 411, which was inspired by a wave of concern about public health and the beaches and waterways. The program was the result of grassroots efforts began in San Diego, according to county health officials. ■

took a position that was a policy position instead of a legal position.”

An environmental attorney, Peters also voiced his opinion regarding the harbor seal colony at the Children’s Pool.

“I hoped to come up with a compromise that worked for everybody,” Peters said. “Clearly that issue’s been in litigation for three years or so.”

Dredging sand is the best way to comply with the court order to restore clean sand and water, Peters said. He thinks there is no way the city can get around the judge’s order, he said.

“I think we should clean up the water — comply with the court order that would reconfigure the contours of the pool to the 1940s, which would provide for people who grew up there,” Peters said.

“There were some seals out there but there weren’t 200.”

Regarding the man-made wall that creates the Children’s Pool, Peters said it contributes to contamination.

“As an environmental lawyer, I think that having that artificial sewer there is just sort of an artificial cesspool,” he said. “People say it’s a natural habitat but … it doesn’t allow for natural tidal flushing.”

On Dec. 8, Peters leaves the City Council, heading for the San Diego Port Commission, he said. As a La Jolla resident, Peters said local issues take on new meaning.

“Going forward, the challenge for the whole region is the economy,” Peters said. “We believe San Diego is well-positioned in the long run to pull out of that. It’s pretty clear that we’re going to pull out of that.” ■

Magot’s killer gets 40 years to life

NEWSbriefs The Balboa Park Committee is hosting two public meetings, on Thursday, Dec. 4 and Thursday, Dec. 15, to discuss the future of the park. The committee will discuss the city’s ability to provide the necessary financial support for the park and the city’s plans, if any, to expand the park’s management and governance.

The park needs $240 million worth of repairs, which were deferred as the city wrestled with other funding problems. The entire 2009 budget for the city’s Park and Recreation Department, which would help oversee such maintenance, is about one-third that amount.

Both meetings will be held at 5 p.m. in the War Memorial Building Auditorium, 3325 Zoo Drive in Balboa Park. For further information, call (619) 584-1203 or visit www.balboapark.org.

DECEMBER 4, 2008

A Lakeside man who shot and killed a La Jolla real estate agent was sentenced to 40-years-to-life in state prison and fined $10,000 Thursday, Nov. 20.

The family of the late James Magot, 64, told a judge about his life and background, which included seven years on the San Diego Zoning Board of Appeals and serving as an elder at La Jolla Presbyterian Church.

His daughter said the family would continue to pray for the killer’s soul.

“My dad is clearly still alive in us,” said his son, Darren Magot, of Orange County.

In contrast, the convicted killer, Michael Ray Jennison, 38, dressed in blue jail clothing, said nothing.

He did not explain his motivations for the Feb. 1, 2007, slaying before El Cajon Superior Court Judge Allan Preckel imposed sentence. Jennison received 15years-to-life for second-degree murder, and Preckel added 25 years for the personal use of a gun in a homicide.

Jennison shot James Magot twice in the head after biting him on his arm during an argument about the sale of Jennison’s Lakeside condo. According to a neighbor who witnessed the shooting, Jennison wanted to sell the condo to the neighbor, where he would get more money, rather than to Magot whom the neighbor thought was too aggressive.

James Magot worked at Willis Allen Real Estate in La Jolla for 12 years and previously was a past chairman of the Pacific Beach Planning Committee, as he lived in

Pacific Beach. He was a certified California Real Estate Appraiser.

“I know my father would be one of the first to pray for Michael Jennison. My family will continue to pray for Michael Jennison’s soul,” Dawn Magot said. “My father always had a smile on his face. He was my mentor and was my best friend.”

Janet Magot was married to her late husband for 41 years and worked with him.

“Jim always put his client’s welfare first,” she said.

Janet Magot talked about her husband’s accomplishments, and frequently ended each description with the words “Michael Jennison took that away when he murdered Jim.” Jennison’s attorney, Brian White, said his client’s mother died years ago and he never knew his father. Jennison was raised by his mother’s parents, but both of them died in the last few years.

The condominium was in his grandmother’s name. It went into foreclosure because Jennison could not make the payments and the bank sent a default notice, White said. The probate lawyer for the grandmother’s estate contacted Magot to buy the condo.

Jennison had “zero coping skills,” White said, adding “all the wrong things came together at the wrong time. This was a perfect storm.” White said the offense was “out of character for him,” but noted that Jennison lived an isolated life.

Preckel said Jennison would have to serve at least 40 years in prison before he could become eligible for parole. He gave him credit for spending the last 654

days in the George Bailey Detention Facility.

A jury convicted Jennison on Sept. 9 after two days of deliberations. White asked to reduce the second-degree murder conviction to voluntary manslaughter, saying the shooting occurred during “a rapid argument.” White said his client had paranoia among his psychological problems.

“In the court’s view, the evidence overwhelmingly supports the jury’s verdict. This is not a manslaughter case,” Preckel said in denying the motion.

White also unsuccessfully sought a new trial over an error the judge admitted making when he accidentally stapled a newspaper story about the trial to jury instructions that were sent into the jury’s deliberations room. The short story noted the judge had suppressed any mention of the presence of guns and money in Jennison’s car when he was arrested in Globe, Ariz.

The mistake came to the judge’s attention when the jury asked a question as to why they were receiving a newspaper story about the case.

“What happened was ... this court’s oversight,” Preckel said.

Deputy District Attorney Kristian Trocha said the article itself was not prejudicial, as it was only about the motion to suppress being granted.

The murder weapon was never found, but jurors obviously knew from the evidence that he was shot by a gun, Trocha said.

Preckel said he has made a full record of the mistake for review by the 4th District Court of Appeals. ■

Can’t new council undo Peters Port appointment?

What one City Council can do, another should be able to undo.

Therefore, the first order of business for the new City Council should be to cancel the appointment of Scott Peters and appoint another representative. That would start the new City Council off on the right foot with taxpayers. Scott Peters is an example of what is wrong with San Diego politics — politicians looking to line their own pockets with tax dollars.

Bird Rock boutiques band to beat bottom-line blues

BY ALYSSA RAMOS | VILLAGE NEWS

Bird Rock boutique owners are uniting to host a party this evening, Dec. 4, in an effort to ignore gloomy economic predictions, offering holiday deals and treats for local shoppers.

Owners of Bodywear Boutique, Stephanie’s Shoes, Haute Culture and Capricorn Boutique compete throughout the year, but will unite today, remaining open until 9 p.m. to serve hors d’oeuvres and other refreshments while offering deep discounts in an effort to help locals kick off the season.

“They are all offering sales and discounts,” said Alexis Banks with J Public Relations.

“We’re in a recession now, so the local businesses thought they needed to band together now and remind people in the area to shop at local boutiques.”

Bodywear Boutique and Stephanie’s Shoes will serve hors d’oeuvres from Bird Rock’s Lupi restaurant, Banks said. All will serve refreshments.

Each boutique owner has also crafted a clever discount campaign to benefit a different charity.

Bodywear Boutique partnered with the San Diego Food Bank.

“If you bring a can [of food] or a monetary donation, [Bodywear] will give you 15 percent off your entire purchase,” Banks said.

Stephanie’s Shoes shoppers will receive a discount for Power in Your Pump, a charity that allows donors to choose which school their money will benefit, Banks said.

“Shoppers will receive a 10 percent discount off all regularly priced items, and she’ll donate to local schools and you get to choose the schools,” Banks said.

Stephanie’s Shoes shoppers will receive additional incentives, including monetary discounts, and designer Lizz Russell of Lizz Russell handbags is attending, Banks said.

Shoppers at Capricorn Boutique will receive a 15 percent discount off any purchase if they donate three canned food items, Banks said.

Shoppers at Haute Culture will receive 25 percent off their total, when they donate a new toy to Toys for Tots throughout the evening.

“This is the only day they will be offering these discounts,” Banks said.

Capricorn is located at 5544B La Jolla Blvd., Haute Culture is at 5628 La Jolla Blvd., Bodywear Boutique is at 5623 La Jolla Blvd. and Stephanie’s Shoes is at 5630 La Jolla Blvd.

Feeling heart, healing art

Because of a chance meeting on a plane, her daughter was interviewed and accepted by the San Diego Center for Children, her dream job. Mom decided to fund-raise for the almost 112-year-old worthy group, which works with abused and neglected children, and she needed a co-chair. A mutual friend led her to the perfect partner, and the team of Mary Johnson and Doreen Schonbrun was born. They created a successful luncheon/fashion show, including the kids, that attracted money and support for the SDCC and now the kids want to adopt both of them, or vice versa.

Art was the focus of another fund-raiser, titled “Hearts on Fire,� held at the home of Maher Morcos. The beneficiaries were 24 family health centers throughout San Diego where the art of healing is enhanced by art on display. Food and beverages filled the house, which is in the midst of a remodel and currently consists of two completed rooms, each large enough to host hordes of art lovers. Around the pool a fire performance was held, a judicious move in case something had gone awry, and a performance by Danyavaad. Silent and live auctions moved the evening along and the array of art works, all available for sale, were more than worth the price of admission.

Home for the holidays on 2 stages

BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS

It’s time for holiday offerings at local theaters, some old, some new and some revised. Thanksgiving week held two openings, one revisited, another new.

The Wednesday (Nov. 26) opening of “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” at Cygnet Theatre Rolando came off without a hitch. This “Wonderful Life,” presented for the third year, is even more wonderful due to the addition of three seasoned actors to the ensemble: Tim West, Jeannine Marquie and David McBean. All play multiple roles and deepen the already affecting work. They also make parts of it funnier, as when McBean mugs as one of George Bailey’s children. There’s nothing like a McBean mugging. He’s been absent too long from our

The piece, which takes us through the Great Depression, has resonance with the present time. stages, and his fine baritone helps underpin the musical portions of the show, which are mostly mock commercials during the “radio broadcast” hosted by former real-life announcer Jonathan Dunn-Rankin. Once again, Tom Andrew assays Bailey, subtly suggesting Jimmy Stewart, who starred in the 1943 film. Even those who swear to

resist are awash in tears by the end, when Clarence Oddbody (West), the angel sent to prevent Bailey’s suicide, gets his wings.

As always, sound effects are in the capable hands of multiinstrumentalist/Foley artist Scott Paulson. The piece, which takes us through the Great Depression, has resonance with the present time. It’s a dear, wonderful evening in the theater, something to be shared with family year after year.

Performances go through Dec. 28, 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 and 7 p.m.

Sundays; 2 p.m. Dec. 24, at Cygnet Theatre, 6663 El Cajon Blvd.

For tickets and information, visit www.cygnettheatre or call (619) 337-1525.

UCSD Theatre presents a high-concept ‘As You Like It’

BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS

UCSD Department of Theatre & Dance offers an alternative to holiday fare with MFA candidate Tom Dugdale’s visually stunning staging of William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It,” playing through Saturday only at the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre.

The production is an example of the excellent work done by the university’s MFA candidates as well as the resources available at this fine campus facility shared with La Jolla Playhouse.

Thomas George’s scenic design, Sohhee Han’s mixed-era costumes and James Tan’s lighting enhance Dugdale’s Byronesque/Freudian concept, which also depends upon Alyssa Ishii’s magnificent sound design, Jason Ponce’s original music and Alicia Peterson Baskel’s choreography.

There are two utterly ravishing moments when all these elements combine to stunning effect, one at the end of Act I, the other at the end of the play. To the audience’s credit, the moments were not

spoiled by premature applause.

There was silence until the last musical note had faded.

Having the minor character William traverse the large playing area while whistling “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes” from Disney’s “Cinderella” is, upon reflection, a bit heavy handed, but there are brilliant, more subtle touches, like the wrestling match staged to a turbulent piano sonata, the ubiquitous presence of a wind-up phonograph and the 11th-hour reappearance of Rosalind’s bed. Despite one’s feeling

of having been lead down the Primrose Path, one departs with a feeling of sadness.

In some cases the acting is very fine. These would include Maren Bush’s excellent Rosalind, Lorene Chesley’s Celia, Evan Powell’s Orlando and Patrick Riley’s understatedly magnificent Jaques.

The production is highly recommended and plays tonight (Dec. 4), Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.

wonderfully evil twist) is fired for beating the half-caste Aborigine boy Nellah (Brandon Walters, the engaging young boy with the most beautiful chocolate drop eyes in the world, can melt your heart with one look). Ashley takes the boy under her wing when Nellah’s mother is accidentally killed.

When it is learned Fletcher has gone over to the other side with cattle baron King Carney (played by veteran Aussie star Bryan Brown), Lady Ashley must get her own cattle to market before he gets there and wins the contract to provide meat for the Army.

Then the excitement begins.

With Jackman’s Drover now won over to helping Lady Ashley, the two join forces to drive the cattle to Darwin across the fierce and unforgiving plains.

Along the way there is time for romance and a little sexual dancing between the two. Jackman lures Kidman’s staid lady by taking a bath at the outdoor campsite using a bucket of water and dousing his considerable exquisite musculature. Lady Ashley’s eyes nearly bug out of her head as he shows her his nether regions ever so discreetly. It’s one of the sexiest scenes ever put on film, and yet it’s tastefully done.

Nothing, of course, is ever simple. When they arrive in Darwin,

the Japanese air force carries out a raid that destroys Darwin and separates the boy from Drover and Lady Ashley.

The combination of sadness, romance and triumph is mixed to perfection. I defy anybody not to get caught up emotionally with the situations, the terror of the air raid, the boy’s fate and the hearttugging relationship between Kidman and Jackman. It’s a firstclass tearjerker in many of the scenes.

The horsemanship is exciting and the cattle drive is unbeliev-

ably tense and scary. Jackman looks the part of a rugged cowboy and could take the place of John Wayne or Gary Cooper in western films, should he so desire. “Australia” is one heck of a spectacular film, full of grandeur, beauty and excitement, with just enough romance and sex to tickle the imagination. It should be one of the biggest box office smashes for both stars. Go and enjoy! With Jack Thompson, David Gulpilil as King George, and Ben Mendelsohn as Captain Dutton. 20th Century Fox ■

jolly, well articulated and rife with patter-song-like references to Gilbert and Sullivan and, appropriately, to Stephen Sondheim’s more frantic lyrical moments in “Sweeney Todd.”

A known quantity, Vest is adorable whether male or female. Possessed of a voice that ranges from baritone to legit soprano, Houck is simply extraordinary, especially when

the role calls for him to purposely stray from pitch and make a foray to the piano for correction.

This excellent singer/musician is a good actor to boot.

Strassburger’s Scrooge is rather one-note, though in all fairness she is not a natural baritone. It’s a cute show, clever musically, bawdy of sensibility, giddy lyrically (“You’re Endowed, Mr. Scrooge” for one), and well

Located in San Diego’s artistic Hillcest area and also overlooking the water in La Jolla, Kitima takes pride in serving authentic Thai cuisine using only fresh and natural ingredients. The menu features an impressive array of organic vegetarian, seafood, poultry and pork entrees. Several house specialties , such as the Evil Prince (fresh prawns steeped in red curry sauce), sets the standard by which all Thai cuisine should be judged. The desserts are homemade, including the wildly popular coconut ice cream. The dinning room, design b owner/artchitect/chef Troy Bushykanist, features a beautiful blend of Asian sculptures and colorful wall murals, giving it a refreshingly relaxed feel. The service (led by Troy and his wife Kitima) is excellent, and guests immediately feel at home in the intimate and romantic atmosphere.

Vikings caught flat-footed in battle with Warhawks

BY ROB STONE | VILLAGE NEWS

The La Jolla Vikings (4-7) football team was out-quicked in suffering a tough season-ending 26-6 loss to the Madison Warhawks (11-0) in the second round of the CIF playoffs at Madison’s George Hoagland Memorial Stadium Friday, Nov. 28.

“They are a very good football team,” La Jolla coach Dave Ponsford said of the Warhawks.

Madison got on the scoreboard first when Fresno State-bound senior Robbie Rouse (23 carries, 280 yards, 3 TDs) opened the scoring on a 2-yard touchdown run to give the Warhawks an early 6-0 lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Madison came right back and scored once again as Rouse took it to the house, this time from 29 yards out, to widen the Warhawk edge to 13-0.

“Madison has a chance to keep going and moving on in these playoffs,” Ponsford said. “I think they

BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

The La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School boys cross country team concluded its season last Saturday at the State Meet in Fresno with some good news and some bad news.

“We went into the race with high hopes, knowing that with a collective great day we could earn a spot in the Top 10, or perhaps even on the podium,” LJCD head coach Scott Sanders said. “Senior Alex Poyhonen was also hoping for a bit of redemption after his disappointment at CIF, and his goal all season long was to finish in the Top 10 and earn All-State honors.”

When all was said and done, sophomore Lee Klitzner surged to the finish line in 16:48, only the second LJCD runner to break 17:00 at state. Dennis Roth was next for the Torreys in a time of 17:24, then junior Alex Fleischhacker in a course personal record of 17:30, senior Eric Blodgett (personal record of 17:44), freshman Noah Wolfenzon (personal record of 17:49), and freshman Jake Mack (personal record of 18:51).

Poyhonen, who made a tremendous effort at CIFs to finish, had to again deal with a similar muscle

lock-up this time around and eventually pulled himself off the course.

“While Alex’s (Poyhonen) final high school cross country race ended in frustration and disappointment, and while Dennis (Roth) also left disappointed, having hit the wall with ¾ of a mile to go, the team ended up running the best team race at the State Meet ever run by a Country Day team,” Sanders noted. “The scoring five finished in a combined 1:27:15 and 15th place. That they did this with their top runner not even scoring simply amazes me and leaves me hopeful that we’ll be back in Fresno a year from now.”

Elsewhere, University City High senior Mac Fleet captured the Division III race on the 3.1-mile course with a time of 15:08. Teammate Guadalupe Gonzalez placed 10th in a time of 15:33.

In Division III girls action, University City High placed fourth overall (Corona del Mar was champion), with La Jolla High placing 17th.

The top local girls performers in Division III included University City’s Sheree Shea (fourth, 17:51) and Jessy Hansen (10th, 18:19), and La Jolla High’s Nihal Kayali (25th, 18:58). ■

WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Boys hoops teams will try to build on last year’s stellar season

BY DAVE THOMAS | VILLAGE NEWS

The local scholastic boys basketball scene figures to produce some runs for both league and CIF gold.

At La Jolla High, the Vikings under head coach Kamal Assaf were 24-9 a season ago, going 102 in the Western League. The Vikings captured both the league and Division III CIF crowns. La Jolla went on to win its first-round state playoff game, before losing in the quarterfinals to eventual state champ Santa Margarita.

The key to this season’s La Jolla team will be replacing much of last year’s talent. La Jolla graduated

eight seniors and four starters from the 2007-’08 team.

The lone returning starter is junior guard Taylor Davis. Two key seniors, forward Tyler Heap and guard Spankey Nawahine, who played on last year’s championship team, will help lead La Jolla.

“We are very excited about this year’s team,” Assaf said. “Our players have worked their way onto this year’s varsity team. We have four returning players from our championship team that will lead the way this year. Seven players have moved up from a talented junior varsity team last year and two players are new to our pro-

gram.”

Assaf added that this is the tallest Vikings team in his five years as coach and the deepest team he has fielded.

“Each of the 13 players we are carrying on our varsity roster has a different skill set to contribute to the overall strength of our team,” Assaf added. “We expect to compete in a very tough league and a strong Division III field.”

La Jolla was to open up play Wednesday evening, Dec. 3, at Mt. Carmel, with its first home game this Friday night at 7 p.m. versus Hoover.

At La Jolla Country Day (LJCD) School, head coach Ryan Meier and the Torreys went 7-17 a season ago, losing in the CIF Division IV quarterfinals.

LJCD returns Coastal All-League selection Dennis Roth (junior), sophomore Ryan Watt, junior JT Kelley and newcomer Mitch Amelio.

“We expect a big rebound from last year’s experiences,” Meier

I like our boys’ work ethic so far in practices. We know we have some tough challenges ...

RYAN MEIER LJCD COACH

stated. “I like our boys’ work ethic so far in practices. We know we have some tough challenges in our division, with the likes of Army/Navy, Bishop’s and Santa Fe Christian, but I think our guys will compete night in and night out.”

LJCD was to open play Wednesday, Dec. 3, versus San Marcos in the Canyon Crest Raven Tip-Off. At The Bishop’s School, the Knights under head coach Tom Tarantino went 21-9 last winter and reached the CIF semifinals.

Leading the Knights this season

will be senior David Stotelmyre and junior Malik Love, regarded as two of the premier players in San Diego.

Rounding out the starting line-up will be seniors Trevor Sinclair and Dominique Kimbrough and sophomore Stephen Kaiser.

“The strengths of the team will be athleticism and unity,” Tarantino commented. “The greatest challenge will be team depth, as the reserves are talented but very young, comprised of freshmen and sophomores.”

The Knights will open in the Eagle-Vaquero Tournament Dec. 3-4 at home and in the Kiwanis Tournament prior to traveling to Las Vegas for a Christmas tourney.

Finally, University City High went 17-13 a season ago.

Head coach Tony Stonebreaker will look to seniors to carry the load this winter, including Mark Hills, Skyler Dougherty, Federico Giacomelli, Peter Beale-Wirsing and David Washington, along with junior Reynard Rice. ■

BATTLE CONTINUED FROM Page 16

pened in the game happened again as Rouse made Vikings fans’ vocal chords as quiet as a mouse when he ventured to pay dirt from 30 yards away. That made the score 19-0 in favor of the Warhawks as the two battling ballclubs headed into the locker room at halftime.

After the intermission, it was more of the same.

In the third quarter, junior running back Anthony Johnson caught a tight 5-yard touchdown spiral from junior QB Taylor Patrick (5-of10, 79 yards, 1 TD) to advance the Madison advantage to 26-0.

However, La Jolla would answer back in the fourth quarter as junior GETTIN’ SERIOUS WITH JERIOUS quarterback Zach Zlatic zigged and Charger Eric Weddle stops Atlanta's Jerious Norwood from scoring at the goal zagged his way into the end zone line during the Nov. 30 game at the Q.

Nawahine more than made up for it on the defensive side of the ball, logging a quarterback sack along with senior defensive end Jose Aviles and junior linebacker Andy Jones for the Vikings.

ver the last two decades, much has changed with respect to how we live. Whereas cell phones and the Internet were merely a novelty in the mid-1990s, nowadays you'd be hard pressed to find someone, even a child, who doesn't have their own cell phone and isn't going online at least once per day.

Another significant change over that time period has been an attitudinal shift toward a more environmentally conscious society.

Nearly every community across the country now has some type of recycling program, and the "Go Green" mentality, in

particular, has really taken off just in the last calendar year alone.

Despite such newfound environmental responsibility, many people are still uncertain as to what they can do and if anything they do actually has a significant impact.

Fortunately, there are many things concerned citizens can do that are both easy and influential, particularly if practiced on a larger scale by concerned citizens across the country.

• Car pool to work Car pooling has long been suggested and even encouraged by

Specializing in the design and maintenance of edible landscaping for an urban environment

local governments as a way of reducing pollution. Many cities even provide rush hour car pooling lanes for vehicles with more than one person in them. Car pooling can help save gas, time and is especially helpful for the environment, as auto emissions contribute greatly to the nation's air pollution problem.

more trees around your property is the landscaping angle. Gasoline-powered lawn mowers and other such lawn and garden equipment are far less fuel efficient than automobiles. Such tools have high rates of air pollution and, if your yard is of considerable size, that can add up to a significantly negative impact over time.

If you can't find someone to car pool with, consider public transportation. Many cities have worked hard to upgrade their public transportation as a means to relieve traffic congestion and encourage their citizens to use mass transit. As a result, public transportation has improved considerably over the years and, of course, it's often far less expensive than driving yourself to work each day.

• Reduce waste Reducing waste can have a positive impact on the environment, particulary if this reduction is emphasized across the country. For example, disposable items such as bottled water are wasteful and very harmful to the environment.

Even if they're recycled, these items are not as environmentally friendly as a water filter, which can simply be attached to your kitchen faucet and provide the same clean water you'd get from bottled water, at a fraction of the cost.

• Change your property's landscape.

Deciduous trees and shrubs, which are those that shed their leaves each fall, are excellent for the environment. That's because they act as air filters, reducing smog while simultaneously cooling the air on hot days.

Another less obvious benefit of planting

best, think of all the plastic grocery bags and styrofoam cups you use in a given month, and you'll gain a greater understanding as to how wasteful these disposable products truly are.

• Support environmentally friendly legislation. Arguably the biggest way to make an impact is to promote and vote for environmentally friendly legislation.

While more and more people are becoming environmentally conscious, legislation is the only way to guarantee that people and businesses behave in a responsible way. Support local legislation that promotes recycling programs and waste reduction. This will make it law for people to be environmentally responsible and it will facilitate more widespread change.

Other effective ways to reduce waste include using reusable cloth grocery bags and brewing your own coffee each morning to reduce your usage of styrofoam or plastic cups from the local coffee shop.

History on Parade

THURSDAY DECEMBER 4, 2008 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

B3

Welcome to the 51st Annual La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival!

La Jolla Town Council Officers

This year the parade will be filled with fun and excitement. The theme, “History on Parade,” celebrates the amazing things we recognize this year: Ellen Revelle’s donation of Wisteria Cottage to the La Jolla Historical Society, Bishop’s School celebrating its centennial, and the opening of the monumental La Jolla Shores Map Project.

Please don’t miss reading the information on our Parade Marshals and five Legends of La Jolla.

Beginning at 2 p.m., this year’s parade is shaping up to be one of the best yet. We are fortunate that most past participants are with us again this year, with new participants as well. There will be bands, floats, equestrians, marching units, special cars and other vehicles. This is often the first time that children march or ride in a parade.

The La Jolla Town Council is pleased that former LJTC President Sherri Lightner will be riding in the parade as the councilperson-elect for Council District 1 — just one day before her inauguration.

The Holiday Festival will start after the parade at the La Jolla Recreation Center. Parade cochair Pancho Dewhurst has childhood memories of great parties after the parade at the rec center — this is the atmosphere that we are trying to recreate — a day you and your children will remember for years to come. There will be music, samples of food from local restaurants, photos with Santa, a jumpy and games for the kids. We are thrilled to have the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus join us with 20 choristers to sing traditional music and lead a sing-along. The finale of the day will be the lighting of the Christmas tree at sunset.

Since the parade is starting a bit later than usual, please consider coming earlier in the day for lunch and shopping. Or…after the Festival stop at a great restaurant for dinner. Our Village area is a unique treasure — our “jewel” — for all of us to enjoy!

The tradition continues. Please join the La Jolla Town Council for a grand celebration.

THURSDAY DECEMBER 4, 2008 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Grand Marshal – Ellen Revelle My claim to fame is that I am probably the oldest living native inhabitant of La Jolla.

I was born July 31, 1910, in my Great Aunt Ellen Browning Scripps’ guest house, because my family always spent their summers in La Jolla. I grew up in Pasadena, graduated in the first class of Scripps College, Claremont, in 1931, and ten days later, married Roger Revelle, a Pomona graduate.

We spent our first married years in La Jolla, at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where Roger started as a research assistant and eventually became director. During World War II years, we lived in Washington, D.C., then again in La Jolla. Later (1964) we moved to Cambridge, Mass., due to Roger’s appointment as director of a new Center for Population Studies at Harvard. We returned to La Jolla in 1978. I still live in the house my mother built, above Whispering Sands Beach, in 1922, when it was deemed “dangerously far from town”!

I am the proud mother of three daughters and one son, grandmother of twelve, and have seventeen great-grandchildren. My son likes to say that he has four siblings — one of them a university — as Roger was often called the Father of UCSD. Over the years, I have served on several boards — the La Jolla Library; The Bishop’s School; La Jolla Museum; La Jolla Musical Society and the San Diego Symphony. I am a member of UCSD’s women’s organization, Oceanids, and served a term as co-president. I was also editor of its little monthly paper, Bear Facts, for three years. I have been a longtime member of the board of Scripps College, where I am now an emerita trustee.

My years have been busy and never dull, what with family involvement and a considerable amount of travel. To paraphrase my Aunt Ellen: “Life continues to be so very interesting.”

[Ellen Revelle and her daughter Mary Revelle Paci donated the Wisteria House — built in La Jolla more than one century ago — to the La Jolla Historical Society last July during the society’s photographic history of summers in La Jolla debut.]

Philanthropy Marshal – Mary Coakley & Louis Guassac Mary Coakley moved to La Jolla 25 years ago with four children, ages 8 to 14. When Coakley moved to La Jolla Shores eight years ago, she took on major projects, such as planning a comfort station and The Map at Kellogg Park. With completion of Coakley’s newest project, her children are pleased that she is now known as “The Map Lady” instead of “The Toilet Lady,” according to La Jolla Town Council President Darcy Ashley.

Coakley has received awards including the Local Ambassador for the Planet Award, about which marine artist Wyland said, “She has taken art and the message in a very creative way to young people. She’s passionate, like I am. She did it. She made it happen.” Sue Ann Balogh, the Wyland Foundation’s education director, said that the award is given to individuals who have made a large effort to protect and preserve our planet’s resources. Of Coakley, Balogh said, “She epitomizes ‘one person can make a difference.’ She came up with a way to beautify and educate.”

Louis Guassac, executive director of the Kumeyaay Diegueno Land Conservancy, is riding with Carlene Chamberlin. He worked closely with Mary Coakley and Friends of “The Map” Committee to ensure that the history and culture of the Kumeyaay Nation was portrayed accurately. They were the first people to inhabit the shoreline more than 10,000 years ago.

The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation donated $55,000 to “The Map” project in La Jolla Shores.

The La Jolla Rec Council is extremely pleased to support the 2008 La Jolla Christmas Parade and Festival The La Jolla Recreation Center is truly part of our community’s “History on Parade,” as it was built in 1915

by Ellen Browning Scripps and is one of 42 buildings designated historic sites within the cultural zone.

Dedicated that same year to the City of San Diego for the children of La Jolla, it has served our community well with extensive programs for children of all ages. Ellen’s residence was next door. Take a trip down Memory Lane and enjoy photos of the early days at the rec center at the Tree Lighting Festival held at the rec center following the end of the parade. With our 100-year anniversary fast approaching, the Rec Council is working on plans to improve the facility…so think about getting involved. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m. at the rec center. Stop by and talk with Dianne Brittingham, our rec center leader, for additional information…or visit our Web site (http://www.sandiego.gov/ park-and-recreation/centers/ lajolla.shtml) for a list of programs offered. Don’t miss the fun, games, music and food!

P.S. Sign up for free lunch with Santa on Monday, Dec. 22, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Call (858) 552-1658.

History on Parade Education Marshal – Michael Teitelman Michael Teitelman graduated from Brown University with a master’s degree in teaching, and then became the headmaster of The Bishop’s School in 1983. While Bishop’s celebrates its 100th anniversary, Teitelman recognized his 25th. According to the community, Teitelman’s vision bolstered the school’s education mission through financial strength, growth in facilities, increase in the scholarship program and the endowment, and incremental plans for improvement. The footprint of the campus has changed during his tenure, including the Taylor Performing Arts Center, the Emily Fenton Hunte Black ’28 Computer Center, the Ellen Brown Scripps Davis ’28 Language Laboratory, the Hunte Fields at the Fowler Athletic Complex, the parking structure, the relocation and renovation of the Reading Room (now the Volunteer Center), and the Michael & Marlene Teitelman Science Center. Teitelman and his wife Marlene have two sons, Mark and Jeff, both graduates of Bishop’s, 1988 and 1990 respectively, and one grandson. Teitelman plans on retiring at the conclusion of this school year.

Judith Haxo graduated from Wellesley College with a B.A. focused on international relations and earned an M.A. from Columbia University with a major in history. She came to La Jolla in 1959 to teach history at The Bishop’s School. She married Francis T. Haxo, biology professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and they raised three children here in La Jolla. She returned to teaching history and journalism at The Bishop’s School in 1974 and retired in 2000. Haxo joined the board of directors of the La Jolla Historical Society in 1997, served as president of the board from 2003 to 2007 and is currently vice president in charge of strategic planning.

Although Roger Craig came to La Jolla in 2001, his family has lived in the same La Jolla home since 1936. Craig graduated from Yale in 1962 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, and then from Harvard in 1965. Craig, an attorney, called himself a government executive describing his work as Assistant Postmaster General. Craig said his service to La Jolla stems from his “commitment to the preservation of the heritage of La Jolla, recorded, collected and as reflected in the natural and built environment.”

Legends – Mike Hynson Mike Hynson, legendary surfer and star of the famous surfing move “The Endless Summer” grew up in San Diego and Hawaii, pursuing golfing and surfing. “The Endless Summer” was released nationally in 1966, making Hynson an instant celebrity and turning surfing into a national sport.

Hynson paints and sculpts surfboards — and because of his part in the movie that launched surfing into the mainstream, he will always be known as a surfing legend.

Legends – The Athenaeum Erika Torri Erika Torri, Joan & Irwin Jacobs Executive Director of the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, has been the spirited catalyst in the remarkable growth of the organization since she came aboard in 1989. She led the Campaign to Reclaim, the most ambitious fundraising effort in the Athenaeum’s 109-year history. The campaign raised nearly $5 million, allowing for the creation of an endowment fund and allowing the Athenaeum to reclaim all spaces in its three historic buildings for use by the library.

Torri’s knowledge and expertise have been instrumental in the shape and focus of the Athenaeum’s everexpanding collections. A highlight is the Athenaeum’s Erika and Fred Torri Artists’ Books Collection, a prestigious collection of one-of-a-kind or limited-edition books created by artists, and works of art in their own right. Under her leadership, all music and art programs of the Athenaeum have grown considerably.

A native of Bremen, Germany, Torri received her master’s degree in library science at the Library School, Hamburg; interned at the Bibliotheque Nationale and at the Sorbonne, Paris; and served as assistant department head at Harvard University’s Countway Library. As a practicing artist, widely known for her miniature weavings, she has exhibited internationally, and her works are in museum and private collections. She is active in many arts-oriented organizations, serves on several boards and committees, is a sought-after lecturer and consultant, and often serves as juror for art exhibitions.

Legends – Dodo Cheney Dorothy “Dodo” Cheney, born 1916 in Los Angeles to tennis stars May Sutton Bundy and Tom Bundy, was the first American to win the 1938 women’s singles title at the Australian Championships.

Cheney was ranked No. 3 in the U.S. in the 1930s and 1940s, and continued to compete professionally at 51. At age 91, Cheney competes and wins senior events. With more than 300 wins, Cheney holds the record for the most United States Tennis Association senior titles.

Legends – La Jolla Music Society Christopher Beach Christopher Beach, La Jolla Music Society president and artistic director, joined the organization in 2005, initiating a “long-range plan to expand its artistic offerings, and laid the foundation for an overhaul of its administration.” Beach moved to La Jolla from New York, where he worked for 16 years as director of the Performing Arts Center in Purchase. Beach received a bachelor’s degree in art history from The Johns Hopkins University. He has been production stage manager for many American opera companies, including the Santa Fe Opera, and for five seasons was the administrative assistant to John Dexter, the director of production at the Metropolitan Opera. After co-founding the Santa Fe Festival Theatre in 1980, Beach returned to the Metropolitan Opera as operation director in 1985. He currently resides in La Jolla with his longtime partner, Wesley Fata.
