Diamonds in the rough Consignment shopping offers unique ideas for gift-giving BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS n troubled economies, consumers and businesses alike are trying to squeeze every penny out of their dollar as possible. While some shoppers opt for the generic brand, others still just can’t shake the idea of changing their first choice when it comes to purchasing the designer brands they know and love. One way to get the same designer brands and other quality goods at bargain-basement prices is through consignment shopping. These one-stop shops enable shoppers to take advantage of steals on name-brands at a fraction of its original price, while also providing an outlet to sell new or gently used clothing, jewelry, wallets, purses and other accessories to earn a little extra cash over the holidays. Consignment shops in La Jolla contain some of the highest quality, name-brand men’s and women’s wear in clean, organized stores that often look more like designer boutiques than thrift stores. Ann Siner, owner of My Sister’s Closet, La Jolla’s newest and largest consignment shop, said vintage shopping doesn’t have to be about digging through racks of mismatched items. “It’s like no retail store you’ve ever seen,” Siner said. “We’ve taken the dark, dirty, dingy side of business and turned it into the three C’s — cute, clean and current. It’s the most winwin-win concept I can think of. It’s recycling at its best.” Consignment shopping offers both buyers and sellers a unique experience, with most shops offering options for those wishing to unload items in their wardrobe they don’t get much use out of anymore. My Sister’s Closet, for example, gives sellers the option to take 55 percent of the selling price in in-store credit or 45 percent of the selling price in cash as soon as the item sells. Items that are not sold in 60 to 90 days are donated to thrift stores or nonprofits that benefit homeless pets or women’s groups, and the items donated by the consigner become tax deductible. Shoppers, meanwhile, usually happen on rare finds, often at high discounts. “Most items are priced at 70 to 90 percent below retail,” she said. “People have the opportunity to save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.” David and Alexandra Collett, owners of the new Take 2 Ladies Consignment Boutique, take pains to offer shoppers one-of-a-kind wares. The duo relocated the store from Rancho Penasquitos in September to bring to La Jolla some major name brand items — including Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo shoes, Tory Burch mer-

chandise and Stella McCartney handbags — all in excellent condition. “We vet the clothes carefully,” Alexandra said. “We’re only looking for clothes that are in excellent condition and reasonably current — preferably not older than two years old.”

“Most items are priced at 70 to 90 percent below retail. People have the opportunity to save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.” ANN SINER Owner, My Sister’s Closet Shopping for quality clothing and accessories is not just a woman’s game. Men, too, enjoy finding great deals on name-brand clothing from Armani to Zegna, and shops like La Jolla’s Le Chauvinist know that. The exclusively men’s consignment store contains unique gems like a leather Western duster, several derby hats, original “Mad Men” ties from the early 1960s, ostrich and alligator cowboy

boots, about 40 pairs of “Snapper” cufflinks and a wide selection of Western belt buckles. New items — marked in red on the price tag — include genuine Panama hats, Eleon T-shirts, silk pocket squares, ascots and Per Pedes Peruvian pima cotton “conversation starter” socks. “The Per Pedes socks are quite unique,” said Le Chauvinist president Salvador Viesca. Le Chauvinist is the only store in San Diego to carry these particular socks. “We had one gentleman buy three pairs on a Sunday just for fun,” said Viesca. “He told us he got such a great reaction from the ladies, that the following Sunday, he bought 11 more pairs of them.” Costumes in the store are also a hit with locals, and Le Chauvinist regularly sells them to the Old Globe Theatre, local productions and guests of themed parties. Panama hats and seersucker, linen suits, sport coats and trousers also seem to be a hit during SEE CONSIGNMENT, Page 7

Four years ago, two outdoor enthusiasts were drawn to La Jolla from Washington, D.C. after being tempted by the ocean’s call. Adrian Kinnane, a surfer and sailor, and Jo Brooks, a rower at local women’s rowing club, found their niche on the California coast, spending much of their free time outdoors and volunteering with San Diego Coastkeeper to protect the “big blue” that beckoned them west. The husband-and-wife team act as stewards of one of the region’s most essential natural resources, fighting hazardous — yet often invisible — chemical enemies in San Diego’s inland and coastal waterways and educating the public on how they, too, can become stewards of clean water and healthy coastal ecosystems. “We had time and inclination to volunteer, and Coastkeeper was a natural fit given our recreational interests and our concern for the health of the bays and the ocean,” Kinnane said. “What Jo and I do is pretty normal stuff, and it’s not tied to the holiday season either. We’re both actively engaged, year round, in the work of San Diego Coastkeeper, a local nonprofit that focuses on ensuring that the region’s waters are fishable, swimmable and drinkable.” Brooks serves on the organization’s board of directors and Kinnane volunteers on the water-quality monitoring team, collecting monthly water sam-

ples from nine major watersheds in San Diego and analyzing them back at Coastkeeper’s lab. “Basically, we’re looking for the presence of certain chemicals in the water that could threaten life and for the presence of certain life forms such as E-coli bacteria that also could be hazardous to human health,” Kinnane said. “Certain algal or bacterial life forms thrive in water that’s loaded with chemicals such as fertilizers that run off farmlands or phosphates in soaps and detergents, but that’s not the kind of water we want to be swimming or fishing in, let alone drinking.” The water-quality monitoring team was praised for their instrumental role in identifying and documenting the massive sewage spill following San Diego’s power outage in September, but Kinnane emphasized the daily significance of the nonprofit’s role. “Clean air and water are essential for healthy life, as well as for recreation, not to mention their importance in the overall ecology of the planet,” he said. “No one wants to breathe dirty air, and no one wants to drink, swim or fish in dirty water.” He urged community members to consider what is best for the community at large in the long-term and make thoughtful decisions when it comes to day-to-day actions. “We are all human and so we don’t always decide what’s best for most people in the long run.

Feeding La Jolla’s soul Year-end fundraiser to return for another round of feel-good entertainment BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS Those looking for a family-friendly, good old-fashioned time this holiday season need look no further. Feeding the Soul Foundation will host an old time “KFTS Radio Variety Show” complete with musical guests, comedy, magic and fun at The Neurosciences Institute on Dec. 17. The nonprofit is dedicated to promoting concerts for causes and bringing the community together in creative generosity. Organizers at Feeding the Soul are known to hold unforgettable year-end events, like their CD release party event last year, which included a special surprise performance by Jason Mraz. “The show featured 11 of the artists on our ‘Family Dinner CD,’ plus additional guests. This meant that each group had time to play only one or two songs, including their song from the CD,” said Cat Bramhall, director of Feeding the Soul Foundation. “We encouraged our friends to collaborate with each other on their performances. The result was a rollicking good time on stage and an anythingcan-happen suspense in the audience. It was magical.” Following the fun-filled evening last year, one of the performers suggested a similar old-time radio theme for the foundation’s next event. “Andy Powers — of Andy Powers Instruments, who sat in on some of the performances — said the feel of the show reminded him of the old

radio and television variety hours,” she said. “He suggested we use a radioshow theme for a similar show. So we’ve been imagining this show for a full year, and are thrilled to see it finally come together.” Justine Willman, award-winning magician and television host of “Cupcake Wars” and “HubWorld,” will host the variety show. “We look forward to adding his magic, comedy and charm to our mostly musical show,” Bramhall said. “We are planning a few other skits and non-musical interludes as well.” Also new this year is an expansion of last year’s “house band” concept, where individual players from multiple bands sit in and collaborate on the same performance, and surprise guests from among San Diego’s great musicians and songwriters will also step in for a few performances. Featured musical guests include Bushwalla, Raining Jane, The Makepeace Brothers, and, for the first time, the children of Broadway West performing holiday classics. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. with a pre-concert reception in the courtyard at 6 p.m. with food, drinks, and information about the organizations Feeding the Soul has supported since its founding, including Helen Woodward Animal Center, Free the Slaves, Generate Hope, KeepABreast and the Rock & Roll Camp for Girls. Tickets to the event are $50 and can be purchased at KFTS.eventbrite.com. Proceeds from the event will support Feeding the Soul’s operating costs.

Despite the commonly held notion that San Diego is the land of eternal sunshine, San Diego’s homeless population suffer from illness and even death each year during the cold winter nights. La Jollans Dennis Stein and Greg Gagnon — the “UPS Guys” — have teamed up with a local nonprofit to launch an initiative to help keep the city’s homeless individuals and families warm this winter season through their holiday-spirited clothing drive, “Homeless for the Holidays.” Until Christmas day, customers can donate new or gently used, coldweather apparel — including beanies, socks, gloves, jackets and scarves — at any of Stein and Gagnon’s five UPS locations, including one in La Jolla Village at 7660 Fay Ave. and one in the Golden Triangle at 7770 Regents Rd. The clothing items will then be distributed to displaced San Diegans in winter survival backpacks by Girls Think Tank (GTT), a nonprofit that empowers the community to advance basic dignity through advocacy and activism, which has distributed nearly 2,000 survival backpacks since the program launched in 2006. “We’re thankful for Dennis, Greg and the San Diego community’s support this season,” said Noor Kazmi, GTT’s president. “Many people think of San Diego as an eternally warm and sunny town, but

people living in the streets die each year from exposure to the cold.” Customers who donate items will be rewarded with deeply discounted rates on holiday packing materials and discounts on air shipping at the store locations — as well as knowing they helped spread some muchneeded holiday merriment to those in dire situations on the streets of San Diego. “While UPS is a huge, worldwide brand, we’re just two local store owners who want to serve our com- There’s something innately good munities,” said Gagnon. “We consid- about helping those in your commuered Angel Tags and other holiday- nity, and it just feels right.” appropriate ideas, but quickly recognized we can help the very peo- See holiday shipping tips ple we pass on the streets each day. from the “UPS Guys,” Page 6

Pink Lagoon offers help with that age-old question: what to wear? BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS The majority of us have experienced the following phenomenon: we peek into our closet, only to realize there’s nothing to wear. Oddly enough, the closet is filled to the brim with outdated pieces, seldom-worn clothing or items we’ve just never quite figured out how to wear. In response to this oft-felt frustration, La Jollan fashion guru Jenny Livits — owner of the Pink Lagoon in Solana Beach — has opened a new location in La Jolla Village to help clean up that closet mess and hone true personal style with staple pieces that no closet should be without. Pink Lagoon is not the average boutique retail store. At the store, Livits imparts her fashion wisdom through wardrobe design and styling services to help customers streamline their closets — clearing out pieces that simply take up space and enhancing a wardrobe with key items that fill in the gaps to complete well-balanced looks. “The only way to build your wardrobe is to reassess what you’ve already invested in, filter through what you have, keep the items that you love

and still fit, and clear out the items that take up space and keep you from honing in on your personal style,” she said. The wardrobe and styling boutique was founded on the principle of building a closet that perfectly fits an individual’s lifestyle. Livits has a passion for helping clients discover what their personal style is and see them build a wardrobe that perfectly captures the essence of that style. “The stylists behind Pink Lagoon believe that a wardrobe is built on basic essentials every women should have in their closet highlighted by key accessories that truly make an outfit,” she said. “By creating a solid foundation of staple pieces — from a great white tee to a mix of denim styles to an essential cocktail dress — Pink Lagoon helps clients create a well-edited wardrobe that allows your closet to constantly evolve.” Having grown up in La Jolla, Livits always dreamed of setting up shop there. “It was a great time because La Jolla is making a comeback with its retail,” she said, adding she “wanted to be a part of that synergy, momentum and revitalization plan.”

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the La Jolla and Golden Triangle Chamber of Commerce I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and Joyous Holiday Season. The coming year will bring many exciting events and activities.

Now that she is more available to customers outside of North County, she can provide customers with great wardrobe essentials with an augmented variety of brands. Some of the new lines that are exclusive to the La Jolla location include DVP, Kain and Vince.

CIVICreport La Jolla Town Council, Dec. 8 BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS

About town • LJTC President Rick Wildman announced an opening on the board, for which Trustee Nancy Gardner introduced Charles Hartford, secretary of the La Jolla Rotary, as an interested candidate. Gardner said the retired colonel, a board member of the San Diego Police Foundation, has served five tours of duty between Iraq and Afghanistan, “plays well with others,” and is a “great leader.” “Like many of you, I consider it a great privilege to consider La Jolla home and to have the opportunity to work in La Jolla,” Hartford said. “I think La Jolla has phenomenal potential, and I’d like to see that come to fruition in the near future.” • The LJTC board honored Kathy Day, who is stepping down as executive editor of the La Jolla Light. “We can’t say enough for all Kathy has done for the community,” said Wildman. “The La Jolla Light has really taken a big step in helping the Town Council and the community. She’s just been fantastic to work with.” The paper’s former lifestyles editor, Susan DeMaggio, will succeed Day. Day said she will continue working with the paper as a freelance writer. • San Diego Park and Recreation has again filed for a year-round rope barrier at the Children’s Pool, said La Jolla Parks and Beaches member Marie Hunricks. Hunricks also said that a new ranger has been “sudden-

ly appointed,” videotape evidence of the “satisfactory joint use of the pool” was deemed a Marine Mammal Protection Act violation at a recent California Coastal Commission meeting and the street-to-beach ramp that provides access for handicapped persons, ambulances and cleaning units has been closed with a welded shroud over the padlock. “Every letter counts,” she said, urging concerned community members to write to the Coastal Commission. “If passed, this permit will lead to illegal beach closure, establishment of a marine mammal park — essentially a zoo — on residential Coast Boulevard, an increase in present human conflicts, [and it will] permanently allow vendor tables and signs, continuous overcrowding that blocks the pedestrian right-of-way, intensified traffic and increased trash.” The California Coastal Commission will accept letters until Dec. 30 • Second vice president John Weinstein introduced Derrick Williams, owner of DW Printworks, as the LJTC’s newest Gold Member. Williams has worked with the Town Council on its newest “Shop Local, Shop La Jolla” program, printing membership cards, fliers and agendas for the campaign. “Derrick has just really been an incredible partner, and he cares about the community,” said Weinstein. Williams said the shop is dedicated to personalized service. “My hands are on everything that gets printed there and created. We do

CONTINUED FROM Page 1 what seems immediately in our own interest at that moment,” he said. “It’s actually a major problem throughout society, trying to decide short-term versus long-term interests, and balancing personal versus larger community interests.” Before tossing out chemically charged materials — including allowing soapy water from a car wash to run into a storm drain — Kinnane urged people to think one step ahead and gauge the consequences of their actions first. “On the simplest level, for example, I might want to get rid of some old paint, but I also know that tossing it into the storm drain means that it ends up in the ocean, which is bad for everyone,” he said. “I have to make a decision about priorities. If my standard is purely my own personal convenience at the moment, then I

might toss it in the drain, but if I understand the larger picture — and the law — I will dispose of the paint responsibly.” In addition to protecting future generations of waterways, ecosystems and human health through their work with San Diego Coastkeeper, Kinanne and Brooks pitch in to improve the community in whatever ways they can. On weekends, when he is not doing water monitoring, Kinnane can be seen at the Maritime Museum working as a volunteer on the museum’s sail and maintenance crew or taking part in beach cleanups and other volunteer activities for the Surfrider Foundation. Brooks also commits her time to serve on the International Boundary and Water Commission’s San Diego Citizen’s Forum Board and the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority’s citizen advisory committee.

everything from business cards to fliers to Christmas cards this time of year,” he said. “If you have cards, or if you need anything custom-made, that is what we create, that is what we specialize in. We have very creative graphic designers. I am one of them. I enjoy working with people one-on-one and creating anything they have in their mind.” • LJTC members can now pick up their “Shop Local, Shop La Jolla” membership cards and begin reaping the benefits of discounts and promotions at participating businesses throughout La Jolla. “I really think this is going to be the boom for new members, both business and residential members,” said Weinstein. “With this card, participating merchants can offer any kind of discount they want to our members, and with one card, you can use it all over La Jolla, so you don’t have to carry a million different, separate cards and coupons.” The promotional discount campaign is free for members of the Town Council. To become a Town Council member and receive a “Shop Local, Shop La Jolla” discount card, visit www.lajollatowncouncil.org or call (858) 454-1444. Membership to the Town Council is $50 per year for residents and $100 per year for businesses.

Bird Rock roundup • Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) president Joe Parker praised the La Jolla Christmas Parade committee for their excellent production of yet another great La Jolla Christmas Parade this year. “For someone who grew up in La Jolla, this is a must-attend event for myself and my family. I look forward to it every year,” he said. “Thank you so much for putting on this great event every year. I know it’s tough through thin times and thick times, and I just appreciate the fact that the council concentrates their efforts on a fantastic La Jolla event that brings everyone together.” The BRCC’s float won “best overall” float at the La Jolla Christmas Parade again this year. • Parker also announced the annual Tour of Bird Rock Homes will take place on Jan. 28 to raise money for Bird Rock Elementary School. • The BRCC held elections and welcomed one new member, local financial advisor Andrew Ward, to its board. • Bird Rock Elementary’s “Sponsor a Classroom” — a program started several years ago — gives individuals

the opportunity to sponsor specific teachers in local schools. “That money goes directly to the teachers, so the teacher can decide exactly how to use that money, and it’s $250,” Parker said. “The program has been wildly successful. This program runs itself. We have a mad rush of parents every year who look forward to sponsoring the teacher that is responsible for their child, and it gets so popular that people are sponsoring the custodian, the nurse and I’m really pleased. I’ll be presenting a check to [Bird Rock Elementary] for $13,000, and that’s all locally grown interest in the school.” He said the initiative takes on a life of its own. “It doesn’t take much energy,” he said. “It drives itself and raises a lot of money.” • Bird Rock’s median-lighting project, initiated by the late George Sutton, is finally coming into fruition, said Parker. “[Sutton’s] legacy was this project among many other things,” he said. “It’s a very personal project to the community. It’s one that we intend to honor George with and we’re looking forward to that project getting underway next year.” • Parker reminded neighbors to watch out for thieves intercepting holiday packages dropped off by delivery trucks at their neighbors’ homes.

View from52 District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner attended the 10th anniversary of the University City Community Association’s (UCCA) Holiday Tree Lighting on Dec. 9 at Standley Park. Lightner commented that each community in her district has a special way of celebrating the season. In the case of University City, Standley Park was decked out in holiday style in front of the recreation center, with the centerpiece — a Christmas tree donated by Miramar Wholesale Nursery — shining bright. Artist Judy Bethel shared her talents and transformed the area into a beautiful sight with some help from the “elder” elves who showed up a few days before. Thanks to the hard work and planning of Darlene Ventimiglia and her co-chairwoman, Barbara Henshaw, the tradition of decorating outside the recreation center continues. Westfield at UTC brought hot chocolate and cookies, while Santa made a visit, as did Fire Station 35’s ladder truck — a joy for the kids to climb on. With the weather cooperating, Standley Middle School’s band marched from the school to the adjacent park and entertained the crowd. Peter Burch, UCCA’s newly elected president, welcomed the happy crowd, while barbershop quartet Tuesday Night Alibi sang favorite hol-

iday songs, as did the children’s choir from Our Mother of Confidence Church. Face painting and portrait sketches kept the children and their parents busy and Santa (John Walsh) patiently lent an ear to hear what the children were dreaming they’d get for Christmas. Small town America is alive and well in University City — much like Grover’s Corners in the play “Our Town,” U.C.’s children of 2012 are making memories of holiday traditions on their main street, Governor Drive. — Sande Lippe is a 36-year resident of Santa (John Walsh) holds Connor and University City and the former president of Caden Sieger at the University City Tree Photo by Sandy Lippe the University City Community Association.

Del Mar racing season each year. “I have one very important rule in our store that is never broken,” Viesca said of advice he gives his employees — including son Salvador J. Viesca V. “We never sell anything to anybody just for the sake of making a sale. We want every customer to come back, as well as to tell his friends and co-workers about us. There exists no substitute for wordof-mouth advertising, and our continued success over the years proves that.” Other consignment shops in La Jolla have stood the test of time, much like Le Chauvinist. Second Act West has been in business for nearly 30 years, and owner Patti Alksne sells all clothing types from casual to elegant, plus sizes to petite, and a wide variety of accessories and designer brands.

Alksne said the beauty of consignment shopping is a process she calls “trading up.” “When you buy a washer or dryer, you don’t just throw out your old one. You trade it in for a new one,” she said. “It’s the same with consignment.” She charges $50 to open an account at the store — an investment to reap the benefits of 40 percent of the selling price or use the profits to “trade up” clothing items and accessories. One of the most unique attributes of La Jolla’s consignment shopping scene is the variety. Shoppers and sellers can likely find someone in the community who buys and sells items that are well suited to their tastes, whatever they may be. Echoes Boutique, which offers highquality resale designer women’s wear, features more than just elegant fashion. Sisters and store owners Lamara Sigalov and Natella Popova select upscale fashions, including cashmere

items, and in-season designer purses and jewelry. For those that find that perfect piece that’s not the perfect size, Echoes also offers specialty tailoring by Popova. In addition, Sigalov and Popova give sellers peace of mind knowing their items, which are kept for two months, will reap rewards — with cash returned or in the form of karma. “If we sell the items, we write a check to you,” said Sigalov. “If not, you can pick the items back up or we can donate them to Community Research Foundation’s Step Forward program.” For those looking for cut-rate luxury, Designer Consigner offers vintage indulgences, with many of owner Heidi Larson’s pieces, including estate jewelry, eveningwear, designer wedding dresses and cocktail and prom gowns in big names such as Chanel, Ungaro, Christian Lacroix, St. John knits and Fendi, dating back to the 1920s and 1930s.

A home to all things fur, the store offers an entire rack of cozy, elegant winter wear including full-length coats, stoles and jackets in real and faux fur. “I get customers from all over the world, and it’s largely because of the fur,” she said. Some of the specialty services offered by Designer Consigner include shipments all over the world and free alterations for fur repairs. Whatever they’re in the market for, La Jolla’s consignment community likely offers it. For those new to the consignment game, Larson bestows sage advice. “Buy it now,” she said, “because it will be gone tomorrow.”

Damsels dress for success and excess W BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD | VILLAGE NEWS

ith winter in full swing, many local divers dispatch their wetsuits to the garage and flee to warmer waters. Descending in seas 25 degrees warmer than California waters is tempting, I’ll grant you that, but warm water doesn’t necessarily equate with hotter-looking marine life. In other words, if you can get past our, um, brisk conditions, the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park presents an environment not found in tropical seas. And it’s a little-known fact that the best underwater visibility off our coast typically takes place during winter months. Dive in and see our feisty, florid damselfish, the garibaldi (Hypsypops rubicundus), which far “outblings” its dowdy little-sister damsels found in Hawaiian waters. And taking into account the many more damsel species worldwide — which are brightly hued — not one can measure up (literally) to our garibaldi, the giant among damsels. I recall snorkeling in Hawaii to see the dusky Pacific gregory (Stegastes fasciolatus), a petite damselfish that grows to only several inches long. It spawns mostly from December to March and feeds primarily on algae, which is maintained and guarded as a small algal patch within its domain. Conversely, the flame-colored garibaldi grows to more than a foot long and spawns from April to July. Our damselon-steroids enjoys a varied take-out diet that incorporates both animals (sponges, worms, crabs) and vegetables (algae). Due to fierce territoriality (viewed in human terms as a cranky disposition), both tropical and temper-

Both damsels are found in near-shore environments and have distinctive yet familiar nesting and spawning behaviors. A gregory male spends a fraction of time nest-building on its coral domain compared to a male garibaldi, who toils for about a month each season (to be fair, the garibaldi doesn’t tend a year-round algal garden like the gregory). There is nothing like eavesdropping on a male garibaldi once the ceremony begins: He uses his teeth to bite off a thicket of brown algae and tiny animals (such as snails and bryozoans) from the face of a rock. All that remains is an oval patch of red algal undergrowth — the nest — that resembles a perfectly manicured, justplowed plot of mauve Bermuda grass. To entice the female, the male performs a “dipping” dance, flitting about in acrobatic loops to attract a “damsel”

• Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute and the Army’s Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases have isolated and analyzed an antibody that neutralizes Sudan virus, a major species of ebolavirus and one of the most dangerous human pathogens. The findings of the study, which was led by Scripps Research associate professor Erica Ollmann Saphire and Army virologist John M. Dye, were reported Nov. 20 in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology. They show the antibody attaches to Sudan virus in a way that links two segments of its coat protein, reducing their freedom of movement and severely hindering the virus’s ability to infect cells. The new study suggests this may be the best way for vaccines and antibody-based therapies to stop ebolaviruses. • Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have developed a way to use patients’ own cells to potentially cure sickle-cell disease and many other disorders caused by mutations in a gene that helps produce blood hemoglobin. The technique uses cells from a patient’s skin to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are capable of developing into various types of mature tissues -— including blood. The scientists say their method, which repairs the beta-globin gene, avoids gene therapy techniques that can introduce potentially harmful genes into cells. The new technique, which will soon be tested as a therapy in animals, also appears to be much more efficient than other methods tested to date, the researchers say. • New research by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute has underlined the power of an endogenous anti-stress peptide in the brain to prevent and even reverse some of the cellular effects of acute alcohol and alcohol dependence in animal models. The work could lead to the development of novel drugs to treat alcoholism. The new study, led by Scripps Research associate professor Marisa Roberto and published in Biological Psychiatry, illuminates the cellular mechanisms that govern the transition from alcohol use to alcohol dependence. Specifically, the study examined the interaction between two competing agents — one a stress peptide that promotes excessive alcohol drinking, the other an anti-stress peptide that opposes it. The results confirm that drugs derived from the anti-stress peptide nociceptin could play an important role in treating a complex and multifaceted disease. Scientists are seeking to attack the disease from a variety of angles, and are investigating the many different areas of the brain that appear to play a role in the use and abuse of alcohol. — Staff and contribution

It was yet another white Christmas in La Jolla at The Bishop’s School’s 22nd annual Christmas Tea, “Dreaming of a White Christmas,” on Dec. 2. Sure, the snow was only a dream but there was plenty to make the occasion bright and merry for the hundreds of guests, including alumni from as far back as the 1950s. Decorations included six beautifully decorated trees (one exceptionally tall!). More than 1,500 large paper snowflakes, hand-cut by students and parents, were suspended from the ceilings. Wreaths and white floral arrangements accompanied more than 1,000 feet of garland. Honored pourers (including head of school Aimeclaire Roche) filled teacups, and guests worked exceptionally hard to relieve groaning tables of their burdens of little sandwiches, cookies, cakes and other confections — delicious stuff, much of it lovingly hand-made by the numerous committee members. Micki Olin and Lydia McNeil cochaired the tea, which featured a performance by the Bishop’s School Singers. They entered in an elegant procession;

15 boys in tuxedos with red cummerbunds and bowties, and as many girls in classic black dresses, followed by middleschool students costumed for a Nativity scene. Accompanied by the school’s chamber orchestra, the singers performed a program of classic holiday favorites. Founded in 1909, The Bishop’s School is a coeducational college preparatory school affiliated with the Episcopal Church. It currently has 780 students enrolled in grades six through 12. Its students live throughout San Diego County.

Mainly Mozart (MM) held a holiday party and concert for members of its elite donor group, Club Amadeus. The venue was the fourth-floor offices of public relations firm Bailey Gardiner, in a Beech Street building where MM will soon take up residence on the second floor (the building’s generous landlord gave them a sweetheart deal). Socializing during a champagne reception, guests were amazed by ultrahigh-tech stereo components shown by Stylus, a distributor of music equipment that is exceptional in both appearance and performance. Then, they sat to listen to the real thing; an hour-long live concert by Richard O’Neill on viola and Reiko Uchida on piano. MM musicians are invariably stellar performers, and their presentation of Schubert’s Sonata in A minor for Viola and Piano, followed by Brahms’ Violin Sonata No. 2 in E flat, was as well-received as it was rewarding. (Sorry, no Mozart tunes this time.) The party continued with an array of appetizers and desserts from Chef Ron McMillan of Catering Solutions. MM’s 2012 annual gala, “Rendezvous with SEE SOCIETY, Page 14

St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center (SMSC) held their annual Donor Appreciation Reception on the evening of Dec. 4 to thank their most generous supporters. Claire Reiss graciously hosted the event at her stunning La Jolla Farms estate, where festively-attired guests roamed about admiring the tasteful and artistic design and décor. Libations and a very substantial buffet of delicious hors d’oeuvres kept everyone satiated. Much of the party’s activity took place in the substantial living area, while a fourpiece band (with a great female vocalist) entertained on a balcony above. SMSC operates a five-acre campus on the outskirts of El Cajon, helping adults with developmental disabilities discover, experience and realize their full potential as members of the greater community. SMSC board president Judy Mantle gave a short talk about the successes of

the organization and the importance of the donors being honored at the event. Several of the center’s students and their instructor put on a musical program, singing and playing holiday music on guitar and bells (and even doing some scat singing), all with surprising skill. Mark Grant, former major-league baseball pitcher (and now a Padres TV broadcaster) is an honorary SMSC board member. He spoke of the skyrocketing number of students at the center and encouraged everyone to continue their generous support.

C O A S TA L D I N I N G IN AND AROUND LA JOLLA Cafe Milano Owner/Chef Pasquale Cianni, brought Northern Italian cuisine to La Jolla 12 years ago & has been successfully pleasing both local residents & out of towners, even out of the country guests, with his home made pappardelle pasta, veal ossobuco, lobster ravioli and other many authentic Italian dishes. Cafe Milano offers your palate an exciting & incredible experience for the whole family at affordable prices. Early Bird Special: 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and choose a select soup or salad, menu entrée, and dessert for $17.95.

Donovan’s Steak House They may look good enough to eat, but the paintings and sculptures at Donovan’s of La Jolla are strictly off limits – so you’ll have to content yourself with the USDA prime beef, the eatery’s star attraction. If steak isn’t in the plan, pork and veal chops and succulent seafood will satisfy the most discriminating of palates. And at Donovan’s, fresh seasonal vegetables and your choice of potato are always included with each entrée.
