La Jolla BID group taking form BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS The formation of an entity to decide how Business Improvement District (BID) assessments are allocated in La Jolla took shape last Thursday, Dec. 2. About 40 local merchants and planners attended a forum in which they organized five task-specific groups — identity, budget, by-laws, elections and incorporation/tax-exempt filings. The BID fund is about $170,000-strong and comes from individual assessments of $45 to $350, depending on business location, purpose and size. Attendees heard a short presentation by Mike McLaughlin, who was put in

place by the San Diego Business Improvement Foundation to help with and promote organization of what he calls a “new not-for-profit business betterment corporation.” Participants broke up into groups according to their interests and availability. McLaughlin spent time with each group listening and answering questions along with Patrick Edwards, who oversaw the formation of a BID group in North Park. Several members of the La Jolla Community Planning Association attended but did not participate in the groups because they are not part of the taxation district. More attendees expressed an interested in participating in the budget group than

any other group, which will be responsible for creating a conceptual budget that will assign dollar amounts to categories such as beautification, personnel, special events and promotions. The “identity” group brainstormed a name and mission statement for the new group, and the “bylaws” group discussed issues such as membership, officer elections, the audit process and officer terms. Each of the working groups set times that they would continue to meet within the next few months, and they are still seeking additional involvement from local merchants. To find out how to get involved, contact Mike McLaughlin at mike@tmc2020.com or (619) 295-5171.

PEOPLE Gary Jules to headline benefit concert Singer known for ‘Donnie Darko’ theme song The San Diego Museum of Man will present a live performance by singer/songwriter and La Jolla native Gary Jules on Friday, Dec. 10. Jules, a childhood friend of the museum’s new executive director, Micah Parzen, has released four albums to date and has topped the Billboard charts twice. He is best known for his cover of Tears for Fears’ “Mad World,” which was featured in the film “Donnie Darko.” Jules grew up in La Jolla and moved to Los Angeles in the 1990s to pursue his music career. His first record, “Greetings from the Side” was released in 1998. Part of the museum’s benefit concert series, “An Evening Under the Dome” will benefit the museum and is open to the public.

“This benefit concert is another step in the direction of re-branding the museum as a place to gather to exchange new ideas, enjoy unique cultural events, provoke conversation and become a destination for tourists and local visitors alike,” said Parzen, who started the concert series as a way to feature socially conscious artists. The concert will be held at the museum’s Grand Rotunda at 6 p.m. Tickets are $75 per person or $125 per couple, and the event includes light food, a no-host bar and a silent auction.

La Jolla matron honored by city Esther Viti, the ubiquitous La Jollan of hat-wearing fame, was given a token of acknowledgment for the time and effort she donates to her community on Tuesday. District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner honored Viti by proclaiming Dec. 7, 2010 “Esther Viti Day.” Lightner, who said she has known Viti for several years, felt Viti was an obvious choice for the award. “She is certainly an amazing volunteer and has always cared passionately about La Jolla,” she said. “People appreciate Esther.”

Viti, 78, who has been doing volunteer work “since a single-digit age,” said that while she appreciates the recognition, approval by her peers is not what drives her. “I have no hidden agenda. I get enjoyment out of volunteering my time,” she said. “But it’s exciting to think that I’m alive and I’m enjoying the benefits of my work.” Since 1996, Viti said she has been instrumental in helping make sure La Jolla stays beautiful and is up to code. She has volunteered with the Neighborhood Code Compliance Depart-

ment since 1999. At that time, she also started a village bench dedication program, in which community members can pay $5,000 to have a La Jolla bench dedicated to a loved one. Viti has also been the chairperson of the Nell Carpenter Beautification Committee for the last five years. She donates an average of 35 hours a week to her various causes, but said the idea of having an essentially full-time, unpaid job only spurs her on. The La Jolla Town Council will also honor Viti today, Dec. 9, at 5:20 p.m. — Kendra Hartmann

Children’s Pool rope barrier to be appealed today BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) will appeal a decision by the Planning Commission to install a year-round rope barrier at the Children’s Pool today, Dec. 9. The barrier, intended to separate human beachgoers from the seals that have taken to using the beach for birthing their pups, has been the subject of intense conflict for years. As seal-pupping season fast approaches, seal activists are press-

ing for the rope barrier to be erected as soon as possible. Last May, the City Council approved a motion to keep the rope barrier, which is normally in place from Dec. 15 to May 15, installed year round. Mayor Jerry Sanders, however, rejected the decision in June, stating that because present risks to seals and humans had not increased from previous years, there was no reason to make emergency changes to the current permit. Then, in September, city hearing officer Ken Teasley ruled in

favor of granting a coastal development permit to have the barrier installed throughout the year. The LJCPA rejects the decision on the grounds that the barrier has the potential to encroach upon the existing public access way and that it does not allow for the development of the ranger program or other options for controlling shared access of the beach. The Planning Commission meeting will take place at 9 a.m. in City Council Chambers, located at 202 C St., on the 12th floor.

LJCPA discusses appeal policy amendment BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) spent more than an hour and a half discussing possible changes to the CPA’s appeal process at its regular monthly meeting on Dec. 2. The issue stemmed from the case in which The Bishop’s School, after applying for approval for renovations to its library, was denied on the grounds that the plans would exceed

height requirements for buildings in La Jolla. The school brought the project to the San Diego City Council and the city’s Planning Commission, which approved the project on Oct. 20, after which the LJCPA had 10 days to appeal the decision. The next LJCPA meeting, however, fell on Nov. 2 — a day before the appeal period expired. The board discussed various scenarios that would make it easier for the trustees to appeal a decision

when the appeal cycle falls outside of a regular LJCPA meeting. Representatives of The Bishop’s School will make an appeal to the Planning Commission on Dec. 16 at 9 a.m., during which they will apply for a height variance on the library of 2 feet, 1 inch, bringing the height of the building from 30 feet to 32 feet, 1 inch. The appeal process will be held in City Council Chambers, 12th floor, 202 C St. in downtown San Diego.

new guitars. “They just sounded better,” he said. “And they played better.” Lawrence remembers his first Les Paul experience, and his eyes still light up when he recounts the story — a representative from Gibson came to La Jolla Music when he was teaching there and said there was a new guitar coming out. “It was that November, in came two boxes and I got to open them up,” he said. He remembers exactly what was inside — a goldtop model and a custom model with two pickups. Many such vintage Les Pauls are now worth upward of $250,000, Lawrence said. Guitar legend Les Paul, surrounded by a host of his instruments, plays the original Lawrence’s writing career dates “log” solid-body. Courtesy of Robb Lawrence back to 1973, when he started the well-known monthly vintage guitar column called “Rarebird” in Guitar Player magazine. When he began col-

lecting in the 1960s, the subjects of Lawrence’s fascination were used guitars, but into the 1970s they earned the more stylish term “vintage.” It was when the magazine’s founder, Bud Eastman, suggested an interview with jazz guitarist Lester Paul that Lawrence’s life took off in an entirely new direction. Paul and Lawrence became best friends, and the two began traveling the country together. The relationship soon led to Lawrence becoming Paul’s biographer, and he also stayed with the guitar legend in his home while doing research and also worked as a technician at his West Coast concerts. Lawrence has dedicated his life to chronicling Paul and Gibson guitars, and seven books have come out of this lifelong project. He started seeking a publisher in 1975, but couldn’t find one that would publish his life’s work of rare photographs and interviews with notable musicians in color. “My sights were set high on all-

color photo guitar books,” said Lawrence. “I had to wait for the publishing world to wake up.” And finally, in 2008, it did. Hal Leonard Corporation published the 280-page “Les Paul Legacy,” the second half of which has just recently been produced after an extension that followed Paul’s passing in 2009. Lawrence was able to be with Paul in some of his last days. In June 2008, the two held a book signing, and Lawrence was at Paul’s last concert in Milwaukee in November 2008. Paul passed away the following August. Thanks to Lawrence, whose books are the first and only ones of their kind, Paul’s legacy will carry on, but he says Paul’s passing wasn’t easy, especially because he lost his father in the same year. “It was pretty intense,” said Lawrence, who is designing a new Les Paul guitar in the guitar icon’s honor. “He was a big part of my life. It was difficult.”

Hearing in Jeanne Jones case put off until Feb. 18 Four suspects in the home invasion robbery of La Jolla cookbook author Jeanne Jones will face a preliminary hearing on Feb. 18. Officials waived their right to have a speedy hearing in San Diego Superior Court.

liminary hearing. “It was quite a discussion to pick a date,” said Mody. Three masked men broke into Jones’ home on Nov. 5 and punched a caretaker in the face. Officials said the caretaker opened the door of Jones’ La Jolla home at 6:30 p.m. to see a man holding a single rose that he said was for Jones. The suspects ran upstairs and, at gunpoint, allegedly forced Jones to open a safe and give them jewelry that was valued at $30,000. All of the jewelry was recovered by San Diego police after the men were arrested on State Route 52 just west of Regents Road. A United Parcel Service driver was delivering a package to Jones’ residence and phoned police after seeing three men wearing ski masks at her home. All four men are charged with robbery, residential burglary, felony assault, elder abuse and receiving stolen property. Mody said they face 20 years in prison if they are convicted of

A preliminary hearing began Monday in the San Diego County Courthouse to determine if there is enough evidence to bring Kent Keigwin to trial.

Keigwin is suspected of transferring $7.5 million out of Watson’s investment account into an account under Keigwin’s name. Watson was a retired biotech executive and a board member of Tech Coast Angels, an investment group that provides money for startup companies.

City Council OKs parking fine increase BY NEAL PUTNAM | VILLAGE NEWS Parking tickets will go up by $12.50 in 2011 following a 7-1 decision by the City Council on Nov. 29 to pass along state-mandated surcharges. The cost includes a $9.50 surcharge the city had unknowingly been absorbing instead of passing it on to motorists as in other cities. Councilman Tony Young said the move could save the city $3 million annually. There were no speakers for or against the proposal, and it passed quickly. The state recently notified the city of a new $3 surcharge — on top of the other $9.50 it is imposing on all parking tickets — that will go to fund state trial court buildings. Members of the council’s Budget and Finance Committee were told Nov. 10 that staff had researched 16 years’ worth of City Council resolutions, but that they could not find an ordinance allowing the city to collect the previous $9.50 surcharge from violaters, much less the additional $3 surcharge. Councilwoman Marti Emerald made the motion for the surcharges to be passed along to motorists, while Councilman Carl DeMaio voted against the plan without giving a reason. “I applaud the staff for catching this,” said District 3 Councilman Todd Gloria. There are more than 100 types of parking violations that police officers or meter maids can write tickets for.

MIND, BODY & SOUL

Differences in Home Care Companies Being able to continue to live in our own home is one of the most important wishes we will have as we age. As the child or relative of an elderly person, it often becomes their responsibility to help choose the right inhome caregiver. Arranging home care for an older person can be a difficult process. When choosing an in-home care agency,

focus on these important considerations. Hire caregivers from a reputable agency for your own protection. Consider caregivers only that are employees of the agency. Many agencies will quote lower prices because they contract the caregiver instead of employing them which makes it cheaper for the agency but more risky for you. Be certain caregivers

are licensed, bonded and insured. Some agencies will say they are licensed, bonded and insured when perhaps, they only insure the office staff. Caregivers should be supervised by a licensed professional who can make unannounced visits. A RN Geriatric Care Manager will assess the care needs and be aware of problems that arise for the client and caregiver. If you are considering hiring privately, consider social security, federal and state taxes and workers’ compensation insurance as a responsibility of the individual who is paying the caregiver. Employing someone “under the table” can be an expensive problem. The hiring of an effective home care agency gives you the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of your loved one.

Stick to the 30-foot height limit By DAVID LITTLE Have you ever stood in front of a “As time progresses, your peekbuilding in the coastal zone where a-boo view will disappear, the the 30-foot height restriction is winter shadow of the adjacent supposed to apply and thought the building will come further over building you were looking at had to be higher than 30 feet? Chances your property and the wall of are, it was. Developers began intercondos along the beach will preting the word “grade” in the grow a few feet higher as more original Proposition D language as variances are granted.” the finished grade, not the existing grade. That meant the developer could pile up dirt and raise the height of the building to pretty much any level they desired — that is, 32, 34, 37 feet. The city, to its credit, realized that this was not the intention of the voters when they overwhelming passed Prop D, the 30-foot high building limit for the coast. Subsequently, the city supplemented the language of the original Prop D so as to force developers to meet the voters’ intent. The current supplemented code forces the developer to measure 30 feet from the finished grade or the existing grade — whichever is lower. Now the Bishop’s School wants an exemption from Prop D and its supplementary code to build a 32-foot building. They want to revert to measuring to the finished grade. If this exemption to the current code is allowed by way of the “variance “ process, it will set a precedent for the coastal zone and developers will happily revert back to measuring from the finished grade and again build 32-, 35-, 39-foot buildings. If this variance is granted, it cannot be denied to other developers.

COMMENTARY

Urging new signage to slow down Bird Rock By PORTIA S. WADSWORTH and JOE PARKER The posted speed limit in most residential neighborhoods is 25 miles per hour. This is an advisory speed limit, which is dependent on traffic conditions. In other words, you can be ticketed for driving 25 miles per hour on a residential street if conditions require that you drive slower, such as when encountering pedestrians, other traffic or a narrow portion of the road. Chelsea Avenue is a delightful street, but it has all of these conditions. Pedestrians, joggers and parents with toddlers use it regularly, and it is also a major thoroughfare for cyclists. Nevertheless, folks persist in driving up and down our street at speeds up to 40 miles per hour in between the blocks. Chelsea is not a wide road, and when cars are parked on both sides, it leaves little room for northbound and southbound traffic to negotiate a safe passage. Combine this with unsafe speeds, and one can immediately inflict the danger upon others. Reducing the posted speed limit to 15 miles per hour might encourage drivers to slow down, or perhaps installing speed bumps or speed lumps will help prevent serious or deadly accidents. If you share my concern, you can voice your opinion to the Traffic Calming Subcommittee by contacting the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) at info@birdrock.org. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. — Portia S. Wadsworth is a Chelsea Avenue resident and Joe Parker is president of the Bird Rock Community Council.

A woman’s worth By LINDSAY FELICE Every day of my life, I have been affected by a powerful and crippling institution that has made my life hell. That institution is gender and the social normalities that come with it. Millions of women and girls are very well-versed in the effects of this institution because they too live under its presence. I spend hours doing my hair, doing my makeup and trying to look and act a certain way because that’s the way girls are expected to be. It’s all about aesthetics these days, and the expectations for girls and women are through the roof. Today, the ideal woman is placed high on a pedestal and is expected to be teeming with beauty at all times. On the covers

“It’s about time we put an end to all this nonsense and start being comfortable in our own skin.”

of teen magazines are women who are put in place as role models to millions of readers. And these women, who are essentially forged to embody perfection, are the ones average girls — like myself — are being compared too. This seems hardly fair. Today, this new average is what is expected of all girls, and it appears that it can never be accomplished. I know I will never look, even closely resemble, these types of women — yet I keep trying. Why? Because if I want to be viewed as a somewhat acceptable member of our society, if I want to be seen as “beautiful,” if I want to have a prosperous life, I have to look like the women on the cover of Teen Vogue. Examples of how the “ideal” woman is stacked up against the

realistic woman are size and body issues in the U.S. The average U.S. woman’s size is a size 14, however the average supermodel size is 0 or 00. While most of us are closer to a 14, we still want to be smaller and try to meet the expectations of a deluded society. The way we are expected to look enforces generation after generation of insecurities and low self-esteem and it administers tons of unnecessary worry and effort into trying to perfect one’s self. I have spent hours on end primping and obsessing over how I look. I try to maintain a certain image because I am afraid people won’t like me if I don’t wear eyeliner and flat-iron my hair, or if I’m not skinny enough. It’s about time we put an end to all this nonsense and start being comfortable in our own skin. We need to begin being happy with the people we are so we can focus on the more important events going on in our lives. As said millions of times before, life is too short to worry about the little things, and this applies fully to the matter at hand. — Lindsay Felice is a High Tech High School student.

Bird Rock may can the idea of cigarette disposal devices BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS The Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) is seeking public input as to whether there is a need or desire to have ash cans installed in its business district, following the village area’s installation of about 10 high-quality cigarette disposal devices in October. The installation was part of Surfrider Foundation’s Strategic Ash Can program, already implemented in Ocean Beach and Imperial Beach, which attempts to stamp out the nasty problem of stray butts by placing ash cans around the community in high-volume areas. San Diego Surfrider chairman Manase Mansur said he hopes to see about 150 cans installed in the La Jolla community, from Bird Rock to La Jolla Shores. “These will cut down on toxins from runoff, and most importantly, will get rid of

“I absolutely do not want an ashtray outside of my business. I leave my front door open all the time, and an ashtray will encourage people to smoke there.” Larisa Hall Owner, Tap Fever

ROUNDABOUTround-up Bird Rock cookbook is a success story Community members came together in droves to both contribute to and purchase copies of the cookbook spearheaded by Bird Rock Elementary School teacher Lorene LaCava and the Bird Rock Cookbook Committee. But it’s not too late to get a copy for the holidays — there are extras. To organize a pickup or obtain a copy, contact birdrockcookbook@

gmail.com. The book features about 500 favorite recipes, art by Jane Wheeler and photography by Shirley Preis. The book is $20 and the proceeds benefit Bird Rock Elementary. Bird Rock Community Council President Joe Parker said the book was such a hit that, for a while, orders were rolling in at a half dozen to a dozen a day. “The response and recipes were tremendous,” said Parker. “And what was really tremendous was the community’s desire to purchase the cookbooks.” — Claire Harlin

New type of networking emerges in Bird Rock Residents reunite with pets, property BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS Unified, collaborative, close-knit. Bird Rock owns that image. The 2,000-strong neighborhood has perhaps the most active Neighborhood Watch program in La Jolla, with each street having a designated “block captain,” and the area sees substantial turnout at community meetings and events. Lately, residents have been using technology to take their collaborative efforts to an entirely new level. Close to half of the community subscribes to the Bird Rock “e-blast,” which has resulted in many success stories, from getting misplaced keys in the hands of their rightful owners to uniting families with lost pets. Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) President Joe Parker said there was somewhat of a miracle case that happened about two months ago: a sheriff ’s official in La Mesa contacted Parker to let him know a suspect had been apprehended in conjunction with a vehicle robbery in the Bird Rock area, and a number of stolen items belonging to Bird Rock residents were seized from the man, who had allegedly committed a string of robberies. Parker sent out an eblast — basically a mass e-mail — telling residents whom to contact at the police department if they had recently been robbed. Within

45 minutes, he said, people were reaching out and about a halfdozen people were reunited with items such as vehicle GPS devices that had been stolen from them. “Most people are connected to their e-mail, so it’s an instant form of communication,” Parker said. Bird Rock resident Joe LaCava, who is also the La Jolla Community Planning Association president, steered the e-blast system in Bird Rock, and said there are about 700 people on the list and counting. This unity is nothing new for Bird Rock residents. In the past, the community has been very aggressive with old methods of collaboration. For years, there have been about 30 or 40 people who have been dedicated to publishing a monthly newsletter and handdelivering it, La Cava said. “But something like a lost dog, you can’t put in a newsletter because it wont come around for a month. E-mail was the next logical choice,” he said, adding that the community has not let its newsletter fall to the wayside with the introduction of technological tools. “We’ve talked about going electronic,” he said, “but we agreed there is something so much more personal about having it handdelivered.”

The Peter Pan Syndrome It used to be that becoming an independent adult was something to look forward to. I couldn’t wait to leave my parents’ home and strike out on my own. Initial poverty was the price to be paid, but pride did not allow my generation to accept any money from home. We lived in cheap quarters with a roommate, ate at inexpensive restaurants, cooked at home and brought sandwiches to work. In the 1950s, the Fifth Avenue bus in New York was 10 cents, while the Madison Avenue one

was a nickel. I walked that extra block every day to save 5 cents, but I was proudly independent, earning my own keep. Something has drastically changed. There is a new phenomenon becoming pervasive from the United States to France, from Britain to Japan. This phenomenon has no name, but I call it the “Peter Pan Syndrome.” It is the refusal to grow up — adult children living with their parents, indulging themselves in the warmth of Mother’s home-cooked meals while they are

SENIORS Doing it Better Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. either waiting for the perfect job or working and saving. A few pay rent; most don’t. Our society is glorifying adolescence as the best years of our lives. Twentyand thirty-somethings express a nostalgia that used to be the prerogative of our grandparents. To wit, the popu-

larity of the Cartoon Network among 20- to 35-year-olds. Adults play computer games, and Harry Potter is read by grown-ups. The media promotes this infantilization with shows like “Glee,” “Gossip Girl,” “90210” and “One Tree Hill,” which portray adolescence as more rewarding than adulthood and are watched by older viewers. In popular shows like the “Big Bang Theory,” “Two and a Half Men,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Family Guy” and “The Simpsons,” adults are presented as either immature or dysfunctional. It is one thing to not want to look old. It is another to not want to grow up. Adolescence has now extended well into the 20s, and the line between childhood and adulthood is getting more vague. Growing up and being a responsible adult seem more and more unpleasant and something to be avoided. We emulate people who just want to “have fun” as a life goal. The delaying of maturity allows young adults to stay home with their parents or return home after college or after any downturn in their lives such as divorce or job loss. Staying with a mother or father as a temporary measure in order to regroup is one thing. Making it a more permanent arrangement is another. Yet, this is a trend that we see today. In the United States, more than onethird of all single young adults live with a parent. In Japan, it is almost double that number. Economic inse-

curity is only part of the answer. Parents are more protective than in the past, which encourages children to be more dependent, to wit: the helicopter parents who hovered over their children’s schoolwork and all extracurricular activities. But perhaps even more important is the fear of commitment many young people seem to have. Falling in love, marrying, starting a family of one’s own includes risk. Love is always risky. You can get hurt, whereas staying home with Mom and Dad is risk-free. Are committed adult relationships seen as more fraught with potential disappointments today than a generation ago? It certainly seems so when we look at the growing demographic group of singles that has become a global phenomenon. In the United States, it is the fastest-growing group and keeps increasing. In France it has more than doubled; in Britain it has increased three-fold. Yet these young people, the Peter Pans of today who want to “have fun” don’t seem to be all that happy. If in your 20s you should be working and starting a family, but you are living in the same room you grew up in and Mother’s doing your laundry, you are going backward instead of forward. It behooves us, as adults, to model responsibility, maturity and commitment and demonstrate to the next generation that being a grown-up is a lot more interesting and fulfilling than staying a kid forever.

Businesses can have their names printed on the cans if they choose to become sponsors of one or more cans. BRCC President Joe Parker is shelving the issue until 2011 to give residents time to decide if there a need for the cans in Bird Rock. He is asking that community members contact him at jparker@shufirm.com to voice their suggestions about how Bird Rock should move forward. “I’d like to understand if there’s a perceived problem. I’m in favor of eliminating trash from any public right-of-way,” he said, “but I haven’t heard enough from the community.”

unsightly litter,” said Mansur. Installations have steadily increased since the program started in 2006, he said, and the cans are in “high demand.” Not everyone, however, is clamoring for a can. Larisa Hall, owner of Tap Fever, located at 5628 La Jolla Blvd., said the installation of ash cans would be supporting smokers’ bad habits. “I absolutely do not want an ashtray outside of my business,” said Hall. “I leave my front door open all the time, and an ashtray will encourage people to smoke there.” According to the City of San Diego, smoking is banned in parks and beaches from La Jolla to Sunset Cliffs, and state law prohibits smoking within 20 feet of government-leased buildings. According to San Diego County’s Tobacco Control Resource Program (TCRP), private businesses “have the right to institute stronger — Claire Harlin contributed to policies that prohibit smoking both this story.

CI F FO OTBALL

Bishop’s blasts Christian in semis, faces Parker in Friday’s finals BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS “Smack ’em in the mouth” — that has become the rallying cry for the surging Bishop’s football team. Coined by two-way senior standout Alec Fisher, the phrase has taken on a life of its own. The Knights (12-0) punched their ticket to the CIF Division V finals with a convincing 47-21 victory over Christian High at La Jolla’s Edwards Stadium on Dec. 3. “In the end, these kids just make plays and that’s nice,” said Knights head coach Joel Allen. It was Fisher who got Bishop’s rolling with a four-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter for a 7-0 lead. Behind the solid play of quarterback Shane Dillon, the Patriots were able to answer on a long touchdown pass to Kyle Harris to make the score 7-6 after a missed extra point. Knights’ quarterback Joey Moreno quickly restored order. He threw a scoring pass to Dominique Love on a nice screen play then used his legs on Bishop’s next drive for a nine-yard touchdown run and 20-6 lead. “They were pinching and the outside was wide open, so I just bounced out and hit it,” the junior said of his rushing score. Christian (6-6) clawed back and cut the lead to 20-15 at the half. But the Knights opened the third quarter with a back-breaking eight-minute drive that ended with Fisher blasting into the end zone from a yard out to make it 26-15. “That really changed the whole dynamic of the game,” Allen said.

Bishop’s scored again late in the third when Moreno found Micah Seau for a five-yard strike to put the Knights up 33-15. Tyrone Sauls kept the Patriots hopes alive with a 10-yard rushing score to make it 33-21. Then it turned into the “Austin Fisher Show.” The senior running back sealed the victory with long touchdown runs of 36 and 55 yards in the fourth quarter. Fisher thrived as the prominent piece in the offense with the Patriots clearly game-planning around stopping his brother. “They [Christian] did a great job of stopping our outside run,” Allen said. “When they did that, there was only two options, throw it or feed it to Austin. He [Austin] stepped up tonight and played really well. I was proud of him.” Just a win away from a perfect season, the only thing left in the way is two-time defending section champ Francis Parker. The third-seeded Lancers (6-6) put a hurting on a depleted Knights’ squad in the CIF semifinals in 2009. “This is what we’ve been working for my whole football career,” Alec Fisher said. “Parker humiliated us last year and we’re hoping to humiliate them this year.” When asked what will need to happen to beat Parker, Knights’ senior receiver Adam Malkiewicz summed it up simply. “Smack ’em in the mouth, baby,” he replied. The Division V championship game will be played at Mesa College at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 10.

From pop art to neo-pop,

Martin Lawrence Gallery is a library of legends “Watch Dog” is one of many pieces by Robert Deyber that reflects a cross between the French surrealist painter Rene Magritte and Andy Warhol. WILL BOWEN | Village News

Gallery boasts largest Chagall collection in the world BY WILL BOWEN | VILLAGE NEWS Upon entering the Martin Lawrence Gallery, located at 1111 Prospect St., one is surrounded by paintings and prints by the likes of Picasso, Chagall, Dali, Erte and Warhol. The interior of the rose-colored brick building looks much like the inside of a La Jolla home, of which guests are guided through the acquisitions. What makes Martin Lawrence unique in comparison to other La Jolla galleries are its mini-seminars, offered by the gallery’s art consultant, Kyle Sorrell. Sorrell, who has a background in psychology, dramatic arts and art history, will take any work of art that you fancy off the wall, hang it in a viewing room, and then give you an eye-opening, eloquent exposé and interpretation of the piece and the artist to help gallery visitors “make a personal connection with the piece,” Sorrell said. For nonEnglish speakers, Moscow-educated art consultant Elena Platonova, who speaks five languages, can step in to lend some insight. Some of the more noteworthy works include: legendary pop art guru Andy Warhol’s prints of Marilyn Monroe or Mick Jagger; Picasso’s drawing “Four Children Viewing a Monster” (in which the monster is Picasso and the four children are the four women who were important in his life); or one of the 100 Salvador Dali woodcuts, considered to be some of his best work, each depicting one of the cantos of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy,” which describes an imaginary journey to the different levels of purgatory and hell. Martin Lawrence has the largest selection of Chagall available in the world, with colorful prints such as “The Flute Player,” which like all Chagall works, looks like it was drawn by an elementary school student. “Chagall is the essence of

dreams,” said Sorrell, who also makes reference to the Chagall quote: “When I hold a lithographic stone or a copper plate, it seems to me that I am touching a talisman. It seems that I could put all of my sorrows and joys into it.” The Martin Lawrence Gallery also has a very nice selection of the prints and sculptures of Erte — often called the “father of Art Deco.” Erte, who was born in Russia as Romain de Tirtoff, created the covers of Harpers magazine for 22 years, designed the costumes for the Folies-Bergeres and clothing for movie stars such as Josephine Baker, Joan Crawford and Lillian Gish. Martin Lawrence also carries some very interesting contemporary artists, such as 3- dimensional “neo pop” illusionist painter Philippe Bertho, who employs the “Tromploy” or “trick of the eye” in his buoyant rings, shadows and people poised in precarious positions. As Bertho says: “To fool the eye is mechanical, but to provoke the imagination is spiritual.” Also worthy of note are the works of Robert Deyber, who could be considered a cross between the French surrealist painter Rene Magritte and Warhol. Deyber is intrigued with the play of language, saying: “My ongoing body of work involves the visual interpretation of clichés, euphemisms and idioms. There are so many peculiar and quirky phrases which have been calling out to be put into visual form.” Look for his painting of a stag standing in front of a stop sign with the title “The buck stops here.” On Dec. 10 and 11, Martin Lawrence will hold its “Holiday Cheer Open House” from noon until 8 p.m., featuring sweet treats and libations, such as champagne, hot cocoa, eggnog with brandy and hot teas. For more information, visit www.martinlawrence.com, call (858) 551-1122 or e-mail lajolla@martinlawrence.com.

The Feeding the Soul Foundation will hold a benefit concert and CDrelease party at the Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla to support the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA) on Dec. 18. The concert will feature performances by 10 of the 13 artists who donated songs to the foundation’s CD, entitled “Feeding the Soul Vol. 1: Family Dinner.” Artists who performed on the CD include Bushwalla, Dawn Mitschele, Raining Jane and MC Flow. CDs purchased at the event also include a cook booklet insert. Lewy body dementia, a fastadvancing neurological disorder, is related to Parkinson’s disease. According to the LBDA, the disease is not rare, though it often goes undiagnosed. Vallie Gilley, executive director of the Feeding the Soul Foundation,

feels particularly close to the foundation’s cause. Gilley’s mother was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia just over a year ago, and Gilley hopes to aid research efforts with the proceeds from the benefit concert. “There is little to no information about this disease and we are grateful to provide the Lewy Body Dementia Association with financial support, so they can help more patients and their families cope,” Gilley said in a recent statement. Since March 2010, the Feeding the Soul Foundation has supported local, national and global causes by promoting benefit concerts and has raised more than $15,000 for various organizations. Tickets to the event are $50 and can be purchased at the foundation’s website, http://feedingthesoulcd.event brite.com/. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the concert begins at 7 p.m.

THURSDAY · DECEMBER 9, 2010 LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS

Spiced-up movies, and lunch at the Riford Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas “A Night at the Movies” was the theme for the 17th annual Gingerbread City Design Competition, held Dec. 1 at the Grand Del Mar resort. Thirteen spectacular gingerbread structures were entered, each showing the exceptional talent and creativity of the artists who designed and constructed them. Those in the petite category were fairly small but perfectly detailed, like the 10 little scenes from “The Neverending Story” and “Draco” the dragon, with its remarkably realistic scaly skin. Among the larger designs in the grand category were the colorful “Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory” and the largest structure of them all — “The Amazing Spider-Man” — which was six feet high and weighed a truly amazing 700 pounds! Each

of the entries were beautiful and imaginative, each in its own way, but the most intricate was “The Tale of Despereaux: Mouse World.” This large three-level structure included many rooms, each with incredibly minute detail and numerous welldressed mouse characters. It earned the top prize for designer Melody Morse, who is a multi-year winner in this competition. Sally Thornton founded Gingerbread City in 1994 and has chaired the event every year since. It’s a fundraiser for The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County (EFSDC), and has grown to become the largest gingerbread competition in the western United States. Robert Ingram, lead director of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, was this year’s honorary chairman. He’s done much to help the national organization, and flew in for the event from his North Carolina home, where he has a Porsche collection. In his honor, a gingerbread structure for the movie “Le Mans” was created, featuring a Porsche 917. The hundreds of guests also enjoyed holiday music, wines, champagne and savory delicacies from 14 top restaurants (to name a

couple: prime beef short ribs from Bertrand at Mr. A’s, cooked for 48 hours and ultra-tender, and rich Maine lobster bisque cappuccino from The Marine Room). The event also featured a variety of desserts — including gingerbread, of course! There was a big silent auction, and a live auction featuring dinners by celebrity chefs. The first was a dinner for eight by Grand Del Mar executive chef William Bradley, served at the chef ’s table. It went for a whopping $10,000 (including a round of golf for eight). Overall, the event raised $175,000. According to EFSDC, 50,000 people in the county are afflicted with epilepsy, and the evening’s proceeds will help prevent, control and cure the disorder through services, education, advocacy and research. ••• The Riford Center hosted a holiday luncheon last Friday at their 6811 La Jolla Blvd. facility. There are always lots of things to do there for adults of all ages, including classes on subjects such as art and culture, health and fitness activities and social events. Friday’s lunch event was free to members, and almost 100 people attended. Sunrise of La Jolla sponsored and provided the tasty edibles, including delectable appetizers, salad, choice of entrees and dessert. More than 30 raffle prizes were given out, ranging from floral centerpieces to classes in art, languages, computers, cooking and bridge. One lucky ticket-holder won a framed giclée fine art print valued at $500. Live music entertainment was provided. Becoming a Riford member is easy and inexpensive, and confers many benefits. The center is holding a dinner dance there on Dec. 17 for both members and non-members. See you there? Ritford Luncheon: 1.

La Jolla Mailbox For years the people of Bird Rock have relied on the services of La Jolla Mailbox and its owner Anita Wood. Anita acquired the business in February of 1987, and has expanded the business to include DHL, Federal Express, UPS and U.S. Postal Service, along with certified and metered mail, notary, faxing, printing and word processing. La Jolla Mailbox has been quite a stable business. According to Anita, “Businesses have come and gone, but I think I have been here the longest.” Anita credits her success to her ability to work and interact well with her customers. “I have a personal interest in all of my customers and I take the time to serve people individually,” she said. Anita would like to thank the community of Bird Rock and the surrounding areas for supporting her over the years. “I love the area. Coming to work doesn’t seem like work because of the people and the environment that surround my establishment,” Anita said. La Jolla Mailbox is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ADVERTORIAL

Beachfront in the Barber Tract

LINDA MARRONE (858) 456-3224 lmarrone@san.rr.com www.LindaMarrone.com DRE License 01081197

This oceanfront property offers a sandy beachfront setting as well as beautiful lush grounds and gardens. Owned by the same family since 1920, the lot was purchased even before Phillip Barber, the neighborhoods namesake began developing the Barber Tract. Purchased because it was one of the best lots on Whispering Sands Beach, the home is elevated about 20 feet above the beach for privacy and positioned so it takes advantage of coastal views from both the north and south. The Barber Tract is close to the Village and is a wonderful area for taking long walks, either though the historic neighborhood streets or on one of the best long stretches of sandy beaches in La Jolla.
