Complications slow fixes on W. Muirlands Drive BY KAtHY DAY kday@lajollalight.com Repairs along West Muirlands Drive to replace a storm water line will keep the road closed through June 17, a city spokesman said late last week. “The damage extends under private property as well as in the roadway so they can’t do a temporary fix,” said Bill Harris of the city’s storm water department. “The water main break complicated

it even more.” Since June 2 when a patched section of the road collapsed in front of Gina Tapper’s home at 1110 W. Muirlands Drive, the street has been closed while repairs are being made. Initial estimates had put the closure at three to four days. Then, while that was being done, first workers hit a gas line and then a water main. The problem began with a 60-foot section of

24-inch corrugated metal storm water pipe that had corroded from the inside and caused the street to sag and then break. Despite the closure — with only residents and their guests permitted on the street — some say they have been enjoying the break from the usual heavy and fastmoving traffic along their street that has become a regular route

Fireworks details falling into place One on one: Mike BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com Deborah Marengo is feeling a big more confident this week that La Jolla will have a fireworks show — but she still needs a little help from fans of the pyrotechnic display. “Now with cash in hand I’m at $19,176,” Marengo, a board member of the La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, said Monday. The amount includes a $5,000 donation from Audrey Geisel and the Dr. Seuss Foundation but does not include $5,000 pledged by La Jolla philanthrophist Irwin Jacobs. “I’m a little concerned about some of the commitments not having arrived yet,” said Marengo adding, “I just need to stress the real importance of people making donations: Everyone needs to pledge something.” If the fund tops what’s needed,

Viscuso talks about calling off his plans

the money will roll over to the 2012 celebration, she said. Marengo said this year’s show would be scaled back from last year’s gala presentation. “Because we had difficulty raising enough money last year, and the new costs of the permitting process, we have cut out the Marine Corps band with the staging and sound system required that really moved the show up into the $40,000 range,” she said. Marengo estimated this year’s downsized display would cost $28,000 to $30,000. Applications for all of the necessary permits have been submitted, though those costs can vary and increase over time. “I’ve paid the Water Quality Control

BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com In the end, it was the continuing recessionary economy that convinced nightclub entrepreneur Mike Viscuso to abandon a gamble he’d undertaken in trying to reinvent Jack’s at 7863 Girard Ave. “It’s so many factors, delays created for me that made me realize, maybe I shouldn’t drop $3 million-plus to remodel and another $1 million to keep the doors open and probably run into the negative for a year or two,” said Viscuso in a recent telephone interview. “It’s real difficult to carry a business in today’s economy without the cash flow.” Since announcing recently that he’d decided not to open Mike’s — an entertainment complex that was to include seven bars, three restaurants and a nightclub — Viscuso said he’s been “getting a lot of calls from customers

La Jolla class wins Birch Aquarium’s worm contest The first-graders in Room 2 from The Children’s School and a San Diego teenager are winners of the Birch Aquarium’s contest to name two new species of deep-sea worms. The worms were discovered by researchers in the Scripps Marine Invertebrate Phylogenetics Lab, who selected three finalists for each species from among 165 suggestions. The chosen names were revealed on Wednesday, World Oceans Day, during a special kelp tank dive show at the aquarium. Scripps scientists narrowed down the list and then the public voted online for their choices, which will become the official scientific names of the species. The Children’s School students were selected to name the worm belonging to the genus Podarkeopsis. The students submitted the species name falenothiras, the Greek word for “whale hunter.” The name submitted by 19-year-old Laura McIntyre, 19, will be given to the worm belonging to the genus Vrijenhoekia. She gave it the species name ketea, the Latin word for “sea monsters.” Names were received from 22 states as well as from Greece and Taiwan. Participants were asked to follow proper naming conventions as detailed in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, as well as

the Children’s School named this worm, falenothiras. Courtesy

provide a description of how they came up with their suggestion. The Children’s School Room 3 first graders were among the finalists with their name, Podarkeopsis bathyzonatos. Bathyzonatos is the Greek translation of deep-living. More than 1,100 votes were cast for the finalists. Votes were received from a dozen countries including Indonesia, Italy, Japan and South Africa. Scripps scientists, in association with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, discovered the worms living upon whale carcasses that had fallen to the ocean floor off Monterey. These “whale falls” spawn unique communities of marine animals that can feed off the carcass for decades. The worms, which measure only a few centimeters in length, are part of the family Hesionidae. Only 10 hesionids have been described from the deep sea, and only one has been described from a whale fall. In total, Scripps scientists discovered six new species of worms on whale falls.

Natural La Jolla

By Kelly Stewart

California grunion — Leuresthes tenuis — are small (approximately 5”-6”) fish in the Silversides family that have a remarkable reproductive strategy — they spawn on the beach and lay their eggs in the sand. For four consecutive nights during new moon and full moon just after high tide is the time to see the run. Males are the first to arrive in a big wave, followed shortly by females. The females wriggle their bodies down into the wet soupy sand with their heads up and their bodies vertical. They must deposit their eggs and then wiggle free before the sand hardens and they are trapped. Up to eight males swim up next to a female and curl around her, releasing sperm and fertilizing the eggs. The eggs develop in the sand for about 10 days until a higher than usual tide washes far up on the beach, releasing the tiny fish from the eggs. Grunion live in our coastal waters year round and spawn only from March through the summer. This year I was determined to observe the spectacle of a grunion run firsthand. One night I headed out to the beach in anticipation, but only found a few bored-looking gulls sitting on the beach in a pool of light from a nearby motel. Night two — too tired to venture out. The next morning I noticed a curious bumpy pattern on the sand from the hightide mark down to about 20 feet below high tide. Convinced that this was evidence that the grunion had been there the night before I went that night to WindanSea Beach. From the sidewalk, I shone my flashlight onto the beach. Flashing silver — everywhere. It was happening! I turned off my light and hurried down. What a curious sight! Thousands of fish crowded onto the beach, leaping and wrig-

LJHS art students beautify their surroundings By Jane Wheeler Editor’s note: Bird Rock artist Jane Wheeler describes a project she helped supervise.

The new art intallations in the girls bathroom at lJhS

JUNE SpEcialS

Principal Dana Shelburne initiated a creative pilot program at La Jolla High School where students in Carol Shamrock’s fifth period AP art class ended the semester working on a volunteer project designed to help beautify the school. The girls in class collaborated to create an art installation called “Color Theory” that was installed in an unlikely location — the girls’ bathroom in the 500 building. Inspired by Frank Stella, the design team of Jade Novarino and Kelsey McLeod created a series of colorful geometric patterns on panels to decorate the interior space. The boys in the class were busy rolling the walls with a fresh coat of paint to help create the “new look.” Students and teachers were curious to see what is inside. Several female students and teachers have commented that they are grateful for the refreshed look of the restroom and would help to take care of the interior once finished. The art history students caught wind of the project and are discussing the works of Stella. The boys in class also were inspired

and worked diligently on an installation for their restroom titled “My Perspective.” The design team of Tim Machado and Jose Galindo found inspiration from movies featuring deep space and artist Piet Mondrian. The girls painted the walls, while the boys created the new designs that were installed before semester ended. Along with their teacher and me, the students had help from La Jolla designer Kim Wagner. The project has taught the students how to think big, utilize their talents to bring functional art to the campus, and most importantly, how to transform their living/ working space by using a large dose of creativity and a few cans of paint. Hopefully this project will be an inspiration on campus, and an opportunity to show off the talents of very capable teenagers doing a good deed for their school community and to look to the words of Ghandi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Students involved in the project were Julian Clark, Jade Novarino, Annalisa Ritchie, Sofia Elias, Jose Galindo, Mariam Hattab, Valerie Irvine, Kaiyachien Lewis- Adams, Christian Linney, Felicity Machado,Tim Machado, Cristian Serrano,Shannon Blue, Amy Cao, Shauna Jellison, Ziru Liu, and Kelsey McLeod.

NFL star files suit for property damages Dave Schwab Staff Writer Pittsburg Steelers’ star defensive back Troy Polamalu and his wife Theodora have filed a lawsuit seeking $7.5 million in damages after the backyard of their La Jolla home collapsed into a canyon. The lawsuit accuses Harry Rady and HRMR Holdings, Inc., a company in which Rady was an investor, of fraud in the sale of the home at 1761 Colgate Circle. Rady is the son of La Jolla billionaire Ernest Rady. The Polamalus’ suit states they purchased the home near La Jolla Scenic Drive in 2009 for $2.3 million. They subsequently put $2.45 million in improvements into it, only to have the property’s 2,000-square-foot backyard collapse. “The property was built in the ‘70s and had a pool and almost no backyard with a steep canyon behind it,” said Stuart M. Eppsteiner, the Polamalus’ attorney. “What Rady did was import about 4,000 cubic yards of dirt to build a football field-sized yard back there without obtaining permits and approvals from the city and without having done a code inspection by engineers.”

Arthur S. Moreau, Rady’s attorney, issued a statement saying, “HRMR Holdings Inc. and Mr. Rady strongly contest the allegations as set forth in the complaint as well as the representations in the press … The parties have differing views of the events that transpired as part of the real estate purchase and the resulting obligations. This dispute is being resolved through the legal process.” The statement also noted “the property was owned by HRMR Holdings, Inc, where Mr. Rady has an ownership interest. HRMR Holdings, Inc. hired construction professionals to complete the remodel and re-landscaping at the property. HRMR Holdings Inc relied on the expertise of those construction professionals regarding project completion.” Eppsteiner said the Polamalus’ suit also contends that the property was sold to the couple without required disclosure forms. “The question on their disclosure form — ‘Has there been any fill or grading on the property?’ — was answered by ‘two small spots in the past,’ ” said Eppsteiner. “The bottom line is the Polamalus’ seek recision, undoing the contract giving the property back to Harry Rady and giving the Polama-

The backyard of the Polamalus’ that has been damaged. lus back the money they invested.” La Jolla land-use consultant Mike Pallamary said maps and other information indicate Colgate Circle could be in an active landslide area, but added, even if it isn’t, “you really need to make sure you have a good soils engineer to assure adhesion.” “A lot of those canyons are unstable and have habitat,” he said. “With grading, you have an absence of adhesion of soil to the slope, which then just slides off. If you don’t properly adhere the soil by cutting it and integrating it into the slope, you can have failure with a hillside slipping.”

Shores board wants ‘real’ details on project by Dave Schwab Staff Writer The consensus among La Jolla Shores Association board members is that a special, hour-long meeting called by the city to discuss the controversial Avenida de la Playa Infrastructure Replacement Project wasn’t so special. “That meeting was to answer our questions, and they didn’t answer any questions,” said board member Terry Kraszewski. “What was also frustrating was they (city) spent 40 minutes making the same presentation they did before, and only allowed 20 minutes for questions. There are lots of questions still to be answered.” The $3.6 million Avenida De La Playa Infrastructure Replacement Project would replace 1,300 feet of storm

drain, 1,200 feet of sewer and 150 feet of water line and the (ocean) outfall structure in La Jolla Shores. City officials say the work is required because of frequent flooding due to undersized storm drains on Avenida De La Playa whose lifespan has been reached. They feed directly into the ocean posing a pollution threat to the Area of Special Biological Significance (ASBS) offshore. At the May 25 meeting, Isabelle “Izzy” Tihanyi spoke for Shores merchants, asking the city to postpone the project because Avenida de la Playa merchants fear may be put some of them out of business. Tihanyi asked for two more years to give business people time to recover from last year’s poor summer business

and the economic recession. At last week’s Shores association meeting, board President Audrey Keane said, “We want to do the right thing. We just want to do it in the most efficient way.” Keane suggested that city engineers involved with the storm water project be invited back to answer more questions at the next board meeting July 13. Board member Bernie Segal said he would still like to see proof that the replacement project must be done as proposed. “We ought to be very clear as to whether or not this whole project is as mandatory as it’s been made out to be,” he said. City officials could not be reached for comment.

The resonating concern I have heard from residents is about filming activity in the house, that a lot of people are going to be coming by to check it out, and about the effects that’s going to have on traffic on this particular street, which is a dead-end.” RW Productions, the company shooting the show, has reportedly sent form letters to the affected neighbors, noting the majority of the production will be shot inside the home with minimal disruption to the surrounding neighborhood. According to TV 10News, the last time “The Real World” was shot in San Diego was in 2003, when the series was filmed at a restaurant that had been converted

into a house in Point Loma. During production, several problems were documented. A 22-year-old woman claimed she was raped in the cast house in November of that year. San Diego police investigated, but no charges were filed. Additionally, two cast members were arrested after being involved in alcohol-fueled fights. Parker added the BRCC is taking precautions to ensure things go smoothly with the TV program’s shooting schedule. “I have contacted (Councilwoman) Sherri Lightner’s office and our Neighborhood Watch representative will maintain contact with local police so that we have open lines of communication if problems arise,” he said. “We hope they comply with their permits, and that producers understand this is a quiet neighborhood not well suited for this kind of show.” Parker added it was his understanding that shooting for the show would only last three weeks or so.

No more waiting for bus riders? The annoying wait for a bus when you don’t know when the next one is coming could be a thing of the past soon, thanks to a new high-tech information system unveiled by the Metropolitan Transit System. Prospective riders will be able to find out how long it will be until the next bus arrives by texting their bus stop number to GoMTS at 46687. The system will only work on routes with buses equipped with GPS —which includes Route 30 buses through La Jolla — but MTS officials say the system will be rolled out to eventually include

all bus routes and trolleys. MTS partnered with Google on the project, which also is up and running in Boston, Portland, San Francisco, Madrid and Turin. Here’s how it works. Riders text the stop number to GOMTS (46687) to get the bus arrival times. For example, a rider at La Jolla Village Drive and Regents Road who wanted to know when the next bus was coming would text 10400 to GOMTS or 46687. For an alphabetical list of the Route 30 stops, go to www.sdmts.com/mtscr/ Route.aspx?r=30.

Rare natural product a potent pain killer

Research Report By Lynne Friedman There is growing interest in developing alternatives to opiatebased pain medications such as morphine. While widely prescribed, morphine has a number of adverse side effects that range from unpleasant to lethal. Now scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute report success in synthesizing a rare natural product isolated from the bark of a plant widely used in traditional medicine. The advance defines a chemical means to access meaningful quantities of the rare natural product conolidine. Based on mouse studies, synthetic conolidine appears to be as effective as morphine in alleviating inflammatory and acute pain, with fewer side effects. The study appears in the journal Nature Chemistry. News release at http://bit.ly/khnL1A.

Controlling runoff A legendary La Jolla surfing beach adjacent to Scripps Institution of Oceanography has significantly less water-borne pollution, due to the completion of an innovative project by UCSD. Among the features of the $4.9 million water-pollution-control project are four swimming-poolsized “media filters” consisting of a gravelly blend of dolomite, perlite gypsum, and crushed rock. Storm water flows down through the filter, where phosphorus, copper, and other pollutants are absorbed, and petroleum products are broken down. Native plants used in landscaping features (“bioswales”) remove silt and pollution from surface runoff. By mimicking the natural environment, the bioswales don’t require energy or mechanical equipment. In addition to helping UCSD meet state mandates, the awardwinning project has already become a model for pollution-reduction efforts elsewhere. News release at http://bit.ly/ku4UDy. Looking to birds Engineers at UCSD are mimicking the movement of bird wings to help improve the maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicles

Jen Kovecses, Staff Scientist, San diego Coastkeeper, explains the soil-seed balls — a clay-compostseeds mixture including California poppies — to the guests before they were tossed onto the surface of the two largest ‘media filters’ at the UCSd project. COURTESY (UAVs) used for surveillance of fixed targets in military and civilian applications. In order to observe a stationary target, a fixed wing UAV must remain airborne over the object, thus expending energy for propulsion and reducing operational time. In addition, the aircraft may need to loiter at significant altitudes to avoid detection, and thus require complex sensors to observe the target far below. A fixed-wing aircraft capable of

spot landing on a perch (top of a pole, building, fence, etc.) would be an ideal solution capable of efficient cruising and versatile landing for longer surveillance missions. But how to achieve such a design? The problem of perching has already been solved by nature. Birds routinely land on small surfaces, using wing morphing and flapping techniques. UCSD engineers analyzed, in slow motion, several

videos of birds landing to generate a working hypothesis for how wing morphing and flapping can be used for spot landing. The team then validated the concept by building and testing a small, remote-controlled UAV with variable wing sweep for pitch control of the aircraft. News release at http://bit.ly/iVvwot.

She stepped up in 2009, assisting with fundraising when George Hauer of George’s at the Cove, who had organized the event for years, said the event had become cost prohibitive. “I’d like to see the new merchants association run it,” a suggestion she made recently to the Association. “I’d be really happy to help out.”

he Children’s School held its first graduation on June 9 for its Nelson Middle Years eighth-grade class. This inaugural ceremony held in the Morning Sun Courtyard marked the culmination of study for 11 students, some have been at The Children’s School since preschool. Each member of the class presented a speech and displayed their work at the Nelson Middle Years Museum after the ceremony. Others participating in the ceremony included teachers and Head of School Brian R. Oliphant, who gave students their diplomas and welcomed them to the alumni association. Next year the students will move to The Bishop’s School, The Grauer School, Pacific Ridge School, La Jolla High School, and Fusion Academy and Learning Center. The Nelson Middle Years program is a student-centered, project-based fifth through eighth grade program housed in a new 12,000-square-foot facility on the campus.

Field Day fun at LJ Elementary

It’s time to

PAMPER DAD!

ll of the students at La Jolla Elementary School got a break from the classroom last week, spending three hours at Field Day. On the second to last day of school, the students head out for relay races and other games on the upper field while the teachers clean up and organize their classrooms for the next school year. The games, run by support teachers and lots of parents, included a wet sock relay race (where they had to hang the wet sock on a clothesline), a sack race, a “beach day” relay (where they had to run with a bag full of beach stuff, lay out the towel, put on the sunglasses, pretend to read the magazine and then pit everything back in the bag, and run back to give the bag to the next person.

We are so grateful to the men in our lives! Now is the time to pamper them for all their hard work and stressful days. At SK Sanctuary they can escape for half an hour or half a day. The TV is on and the beer is on ice. So give us a call at 858.459.2400 and we’ll take care of the Dad’s in your life. Here’s to the guys!

Town council forms parade foundation By Dave SchwaB Staff Writer After some debate over the necessity for taking the action and who will be on the board, La Jolla Town Council trustees voted overwhelmingly June 9 to form a nonprofit foundation to administer its annual Christmas parade. The 501(c)(3) will be called La Jolla Town Council Parade Foundation. President Rick Wildman said there is good reason to form a new nonprofit. “By having a Town Council Foundation Board, we can take over the entire Christmas

parade ourselves so we can give tax-exempt status to individuals who donate,” he said. “There’s nothing mysterious here,” said Wildman after the meeting. “This is just a better way to streamline things.” “The procedure was cumbersome,” agreed Glen Rasmussen, president of the La Jolla Town Council Foundation, which has been the repository for parade donations. “It seems that the best way to handle the parade going forward is to have it have its own nonprofit entity.” Trustee Steve Haskins, an attorney, cautioned that forming such an entity is complicated.

“It is not something you can expedite quickly — it’s no slam dunk,” he said. Council colleague Ed Ward agreed. “You’re creating a corporation here, forming a legal entity,” he noted. “Plus you need an executive board. Who will that be?” “It’s safe to assume we will have strong representation from this board,” answered Rob Hildt, first vice president. Trustee Ann Kerr Bache, who’s headed the Parade Committee the past few years, suggested the foundation name be changed to allow flexibility to raise money for causes other than the Christmas parade should the

need arise. “We may want a more generic name to have some other events under this,” she said. “I’ve done plenty of these (nonprofits) before,” said Wildman. “We have no option right now because the La Jolla Town Council Foundation has already said they will not be handling the Christmas parade this year.” In other matters, the council voted unanimously to promote office manager Valerie Strocco to executive director. The council also agreed to host a group fundraising “Day at the Races” Sept. 2 at the Del Mar Racetrack.

FROM MUIRLANDS, A1 from Fay Avenue to Nautilus Street for residents and a construction truck. Initially, Harris said the repairs might be done within about five or six days. Neighbors, including Adelle Owen who lives across from Gina Tapper’s home at 1110 W. Muirlands Drive where the street broke up on June 2, reported problems began there several months ago after the heavy rains. City crews patched the hole with asphalt after finding out that a storm water line to the west was collapsing, but did not start repairs until the street caved in at the spot where the patch had been made. The damaged sewer pipe is the kind that has caused problems for municipalities around the country, the city’s spokesman Harris said. Banned in 1992, it erodes from the inside out and then fails, he added.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Martin Lawrence Gallery hosts Robert Deyber on Spring Tour

‘Sunny smile specialist’ gives back to La Jolla community Billing himself as“the sunny smile specialist,” La Jolla orthodontist Robert Sunstein prides himself on giving back to the community he’s resided in since 1982. “I’ve started a $5,000 scholarship for local public schools for a student in need of braces for academics, student leadership and community service covering one full treatment,” he said adding, That’s pretty rewarding to me.” A La Jolla resident, Sunstein has served as a dental coordinator for the Special Olympics and as a ski instructor for the physically challenged. He said 90 percent of his patients come from La Jolla, though he does treat a few out-of-towners. He even had one patient who flew in from London. Sunstein’s website at www.

lajollaorthodontist.com points out the most important reason to turn to orthodontics is to help keep teeth healthy and functional for a lifetime. Once it was assumed most everyone would be fitted for dentures, but improvements in dentistry and public awareness of prevention have changed that, the site notes. “Nowadays you can use brackets and nickel-titanium wires to help move teeth very slowly and effectively,” Sunstein said, noting he can direct, orient and align teeth precisely. And Invisalign technology has been a big boon to dentistry, affording adults an opportunity heretofore unavailable to get braces to straighten their teeth. “Now adults whose families couldn’t afford it, or who didn’t wear their retainers

Martin Lawrence Galleries is pleased to welcome the uniquely talented, Robert Deyber to our La Jolla MLG Gallery from 6 to 9 p.m. on June 16. Enjoy and be delighted, challenged or both. Deyber’s artwork is “full of surprises,” according to the gallery’s website. “Every canvas revels in the artist’s piquant sense of humor, each painting a rendering of a cerebral turn on the common phrase. Despite his offbeat sense of fun, Deyber is a seriously skilled painter. Endlessly intrigued by visual imagining that resides in the surreal realm between reality and fantasy, he is clearly able to render them brilliantly. The artwork is highly narrative in nature, conveying an almost dreamlike quality to the bemused viewer.” Enjoy the exhibition and be delighted, challenged or both. You will unlikely use language

New owners make changes at Hotel La Jolla By KAthy DAy kday@lajollalight.com There’s more movement on the local lodging scene with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants taking over management of Hotel La Jolla, which sits at the gateway to La Jolla. The hotel’s ownership picture also changed recently when an affiliate of Westport Capital Partners LLC and Cove Equity Group, an investment firm owned by La Jollan Ure Kretowicz, purchased the outstanding debt on the hotel, which had faced possible foreclosure. Westport also contributed capital to support room renovations that were in progress, according to Sean Armstrong, principal for Westport. He would not discuss the financial considerations. Kretowicz, who also is CEO of Cornerstone Communities, has been involved with the hotel for about four years, and bought out the interest of the prior owners, he said, noting that he’s now a majority owner and minority lender. Westport invests in a “wide variety of distressed and opportunistic real estate situations,” according to its website. Kretowicz and Armstrong both said they are excited about the prospects for Hotel La Jolla. “Being in La Jolla, I know what an incredible jewel the hotel can be,” Kretowicz said. Armstrong said Westport

“is very excited about having the asset achieve it’s full potential. Located on La Jolla Shores Drive next to Torrey Pines Road, the hotel has 108 rooms. The next phase of the remodeling project will see the restaurant — formerly Clay’s and recently renamed the Grill at Hotel La Jolla — moved from the 11th floor to street level where it will include outdoor seating. Acknowledging that some might be upset at losing the great views afforded by the current restaurant spot, Kretowicz said the tradeoff will be that the ground-floor area will gain from the energy of having the lobby, bar and restaurant on the same level. The remodel — which they hope to complete by summer 2012 — will also play to the poolside location, giving the restaurant more of an indoor-outdoor feel. They are presently processing plans with the city. When it’s done, he added, “it will be an alternative to the Village for the neighborhood” where people can walk over and grab a coffee or have Sunday breakfast. Upgrades are also set for the reception, lobby and outdoor pool areas, to be completed in early 2012. One of the reasons for bringing in San Francisco-based Kimpton is “because they do a splendid job with boutique hotels,” Kretowicz said. “We

It was founded 30 years ago and is known for introducing the boutique hotel concept in America. Kimpton also owns the Hotel Solamar near Petco Park and recently purchased downtown Se San Diego Hotel, which was in bankruptcy at the time of the purchase. A press release on the transaction states, “Upon completion of the remodel, Hotel La Jolla will offer all of the iconic Kimpton programs such as the hosted evening wine hour, “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” list of travel essentials, animal print robes, Guppy Love (companion goldfish upon request), loyalty program perks and personalized preferences and more than 100 eco-friendly EarthCare operating practices.”

Biotechs weigh benefits versus risks Community Leader’s View By Joe Panetta President and CEO, BIOCOM

Southern California is home to the most innovative and cutting edge biomedical research and development community in the world. Each year the region’s life science companies, along with research universities and institutes, generate thousands of ideas for potentially life-saving therapies and medical devices.

Hundreds of these potential products eventually move into clinical trials. Many potential therapies, about one in 20, never make it to market because of some type of safety or effectiveness issue. Ultimately, a few dozen will receive the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be prescribed to patients around the country. It is a costly and time-consuming challenge, which can take up to 12 years and $1.5 billion. In deciding what product gets to market, the FDA engages in a pro-

The La Jolla Light opinion: “Our View: ‘Party’ at Children’s Pool a wrong step beyond the boundary” is contradictory and misleading. The 80th anniversary event was a quiet recognition of the wonderful swimming beach giving thanks to Miss Scripps. A sentiment the author claims to share by honoring the achievements of Miss Scripps and her generosity to the community. Characterizing this event as a wild beach party is incorrect. This was a gathering of grateful citizens using the beach to acknowledge her generosity. Reporting, without the editorial exaggeration, would have been more credible. The tables and BBQs were set up in a relatively clean area before the seals began moving up

the beach. Seals had the eastern half to use but came up to the people. If we tried to re-direct seals we would be accused of harassing seals — a can’t win situation. No seals “flushed” during the 80th anniversary event. Seals came and went all evening and some came within 3 feet. Feeling no threat, they rolled over and went to sleep. The author should condemn with the same passion, San Diego’s failure to clean this beach littered with seal waste. Beachgoers should not depend only on the high tide to make the lower beach clean enough to use. Above the high tide line cleaning is done by volunteers only when the absence of seals on the beach allows. The city forced a Marine Mammal Park into a children’s bathing pool but refuses to clean up after the animals it shelters there. City staff is ordered to stay off the sand, making beach cleaning impossible. Other beaches are cleaned regularly. Investigate the lack of maintenance. People cannot intentionally

cess that balances the risks of products versus the benefits. The FDA’s product review process has long been recognized around the world as the “gold standard” for biomedical product regulation. It is important to understand that no product is 100 percent safe. While it may be tested in thousands of people during clinical trials, once it gets to market and is used by a wider population, new side effects may become evident. Often in those cases, the public questions how the FDA did not see the problems. Many times reports on these side effects wind up in the media, giving

do something for the seals I am a 15-year-old tourist from Arizona and recently my family and I visited La Jolla to walk along the coast. We came upon the Children’s Pool and were used to seeing it closed to the public so the whole family was excited to go down and see the wildlife. At first I was content with how well the rules were set and it seemed that as long as the visitors followed them it wouldn’t interrupt the animals. But not long after we stayed on the beach it was

scare seals into the water. The rope cannot move as seals move around the beach and if no seals are there, are we still required to “respect” the rope? The city rope barrier serves to perpetrate a fraud on an unsuspecting public. Through deception and misinformation and the shouting by the beach-closure crowd, the rope is an effective tool blocking beach access. Vending tables and disruptive behavior on the sidewalk? The city is not enforcing its own laws. Where’s that investigative report? A diver scaring seals had no connection to this event. It occurred another day and was an attempt to discredit this celebration. Some might think it was shameless reporting with an agenda. Clearly the author doesn’t hold dear “the right of public access to our beaches.” The Light attempted to discredit this wonderful community event and exposed a bias unbecoming to professional journalism.

apparent that there was a problem. There were many seals in the water and I could imagine some had pups but the people ashore were playing music and taking flash pictures and were even letting their children go into the water after the seals and splash water at them. Many of the seals starting “flushing,” which as I’ve been told is dangerous and causes pup abandonment, and many of the seals were frightened and the mobs of people wouldn’t let them come ashore to rest. This troubles me and I’m hoping someone will do something about it. Alyse Kingston TourisT from ArizonA

biomedical companies and the FDA a black eye. The public often misses the fact that 99.99 percent of products approved by FDA have no safety issues. Southern California’s life science community has contributed to increasing the length and quality of life of patients around the world. It is my hope that our community can appreciate all of the effort that goes into the process of developing products, and that we can better understand and accept that benefit is accompanied by risk. We must accept some level of risk if we desire lifesaving innovation.

think twice about where you take your dog Community View By Mario lanese La Jolla resident

I want to share the finer points of the “dog friendly” principles that we’ve adopted here in La Jolla. Before I go further, know that I come from a dog-loving family and that my last dog had hundreds of hours of training which we reinforced daily. I still miss her and would like to get another dog soon. Even though she was beautiful, always freshly brushed and bathed, I never once thought of taking my fantastically behaved show dog into a grocery store. Unfortunately this is not the case at Vons on Girard Avenue, as I learned one recent Sunday from an employee who told me — while expressing my disgust when a Tea Cup Yorkie in a man’s arms threw-up all over the register — that “these things happen all the time.” How disgusting is it, knowing that people bring non-service animals into a place where food is sold. (Service dog means you NEED the dog because you have a LEGIT reason. Saying it comforts you while you shop doesn’t qualify and your behavior ruins it for people who need dogs to see or hear, etc). How about the rights of people with pet allergies? More appropriately, how about the rights of people who don’t want their bananas spinning around on a conveyor full of dog barf? Just because your dog fits in a purse and wears cute outfits, doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere people do. For those of you having a hard time deciphering which places are OK to bring your dogs, try to use this rule I created: Picture your 5-pound Yorkie as a 120-pound slobbering Bullmastiff (which is a better small apartment dog than your Yorkie). If it seems like bringing a Bullmastiff into the store is a bad idea, then so is bringing a Yorkie.

She was employed as a draftsman by Concrete Shipyards in San Diego and designed barges for the war effort. At Concrete Shipyards, she met her future husband, Russell Isley Forester. They immediately hit it off, forcing the head of the draftsmen, Lloyd Ruocco, to move their desks apart since Russell spent too much time turning around to talk to her. After the war, Eleanor and Russell married on April 13, 1946, in La Jolla, California.

San Diego when Russell’s mother became very ill. Eleanor built three houses with Russell; their first house on Rushville Street in 1949, a house on Hillside Drive in 1952 and a spec house in the upper Shores area in the early 1960s. Eleanor and Russell spent a year in Spain in 1955-56 where she became fluent in Castilian Spanish, which she continued to speak throughout her life. Eleanor was an accomplished and successful interior designer. Her company, Eleanor Forester Interiors, was based in downtown La Jolla. Her work included both commercial as well as residential jobs. She designed dorm rooms for UCSD and a string of banks, homes for Robert Peterson, Harle Montgomery, Joan Holter, William Karatz, and the Sampson, Mayne, Muzzy, Fayman, Kimmell, and Marston families, among many others. She also did residential work in San Francisco, Hawaii, Mexico, New York, and

Montana. Eleanor was asked to write a monthly column for San Diego Magazine by Ed Self, the editor. She wrote the “La Jollans are Talking About” column in the early 1960s. Eleanor demonstrated her creativity and handiness in many ways- from drawing, jewelry making, and gourmet cooking, to sewing evening gowns for the annual Jewel Ball, including the beading, as well as sewing elaborate Halloween costumes and party dresses for her daughter. She played badminton, tennis, and was an accomplished Iyengar yoga student. While an adult, she took piano lessons for many years from Barbara Norris. Eleanor’s travels took her on a number of great adventures. She sailed the Greek Isles with her friend, Danah Fayman, went on numerous trips to Europe including the Netherlands, England, Yugoslavia, Italy, France, Spain, and Germany. She went to Kunming, Shanghai and Hong Kong and traveled throughout

Japan. When she was 75 years old, she went on an excursion sponsored by Caltech to Antarctica and the Falkland Islands with her daughter, Lynn, during which she participated in all the Zodiac raft landings. One of Eleanor’s greatest pleasures was going to the Ranch in Colorado with her friend, Danah, where she enjoyed the beautiful trees, the river and the rustic nature of the setting. She taught her grandson to fish there when he was 6 years old and for many years they spent time together there. She learned how to fly-fish when she was in her early 70s. Fearless, one year she shooed a young bear off the porch while the rest of the family huddled indoors. Eleanor had a keen sense of fairness and compassion and helped many that were less fortunate than she. For instance, she always paid social security and Medicare taxes for those she hired and she championed the effort of her long term cleaning lady to become a U.S. citizen.

Eleanor and Russell Forester divorced after 20 years of marriage. She is survived by her daughter, Lynn Forester; son-inlaw, Miles Gehm Jr.; and grandson, Matthew Forester Gehm, all of San Jose, CA; as well as her life-long friends, Danah Fayman, Patricia Wood, and Edith Kodmur. Eleanor was a smart, creative, beautiful, elegant, cultured, independent, selfmade woman with a keen eye for design and style. An avid reader, long before Google and Wikipedia, she always seemed to know the answers to our questions. Eleanor was well loved and will be sorely missed by all. A celebration in her memory will be held on June 26 at 5:00 pm. Please contact Lynn Forester at LFEF2011@gmail.com for details or leave a message at (858) 752-8392.

Merchants group considers Torrey Pines road project By Kathy Day kday@lajollalight.com When the La Jolla Village Merchants Association board last week considered weighing in on which part of the Torrey Pines Road Corridor improvements should be tackled first, a split vote meant their idea to back the portion nearest La Jolla Shores Drive was rejected. City engineers have laid out a conceptual plan that calls for slope-stabilization measures and improvements designed to calm traffic and increase safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. Their plan divides the project up into four distinct pieces: • Segment 1, Prospect Street to Coast Walk; • Segment 2, Coast Walk to Viking Way/ Hillside Drive; • Segment 3, Viking Way/Hillside Drive to Little Street, and • Segment 4, Little Street to La Jolla Shores Drive. The directors had several questions Todd Lesser, who chairs the Traffic & Transportation Board, about everything from whether a pedestrian bridge could be added to — only half jokingly — whether they could make the signs reroute traffic through the business district during the construction. Several directors said they fear more traffic

impediments in the form of construction delays will hurt the Village business district, which is still battling the economic downturn. They also heard from residents along Torrey Pines Road who want sections 1 and 2 done first or an alternate plan followed that would divvy the work into eight parts. Joe LaCava, former president and still a member of the La Jolla Community Planning Association — which has the only official role in advising the city on land use matters — had recommended the merchants group take no action. “We need a community dialogue, “ he said. “At every meeting, we talk and talk and talk, but there is no dialogue.” He also noted city engineers have not developed plans for traffic control by segment. After a lot of discussion, a motion was made to back the city’s plan to start with Segment 4. Seven directors voted for the measure and seven abstained. But because the new organization’s by-laws state a measure can only pass with a majority vote of those present, the measure failed, President Phil Coller said later. The corridor improvement project goes back before the traffic board on June 23, when Lesser said they will listen to more input and hopefully make a recommendation that will then go to the planning group.

Plans discussed for Pearl Street property La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance Committee heard preliminary plans for a twostory, mixed-use development at 7401 La Jolla Blvd., a vacant corner lot.

Tony Crisafi, of Island Architects who currently chairs the La Jolla Community Planning Association, gave a brief presentation on the project which he said is

owned by Byblos, a real estate company. Noting the La Jolla PDO requires 50 percent retail development on the project’s ground floor, Crisafi said, “This would be in a Mediterranean style and have two family-owned, residential units on the top floor, with underground parking with 11 spaces.” Crisafi said the project will also have a courtyard on the upper level and terraced balconies. If all goes well, Crisafi said construction could begin early next year and be completed by 2013. Crisafi said he would likely be back before the committee with more detailed plans in a couple of months. Committee member Orrin Gabsch expressed doubt about the viability of retail for the project given its location near a bus stop and residential. Discussion of parking for We Olive, which is proposing an outdoor deck, was postponed until the committee’s July meeting.

Diver attacked by shark near Children’s Pool By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Three divers had a close encounter with what was believed to be a sevengill shark near La Jolla’s Children’s Pool on June 6, San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Andy Lerum said. One of them was attacked when the shark’s teeth cut through his wetsuit, though he was not injured. Justin Schlaefli, 28, posted on SharkAttackSurvivors.com that he “(felt) this sudden pressure and movement on my calf. I looked down and the shark had my calf in its mouth and bit down three times. This is the strange part: I am not sure if it was because the shark had realized it had missed the calico (its obvious target) or because it tasted neoprene, but the shark was biting me a bit like a dog who is playing with you and bites your hand.’’ Lerum said the incident “occurred about 2:30 p.m. when three divers were involved in spearfishing right at the wall at Children’s Pool. They had caught some fish and had them on their belts and were bringing them back about 50 feet off the wall when

they believe they saw a sevengill shark come by and went to grab the fish.” Lerum said the diver reported the shark “took a chunk out of his wetsuit,” but added he was not seriously injured. “His friend shot the shark and the fish swam away causing his spear gun to be ripped out of his hand,” Lerum said. “They came to the beach to tell the lifeguards because they wanted them to be looking out for the spear gun.” San Diego Channel 6’s website identified the diver whose wetsuit was bitten as Justin Schlaefli, 28. Another of the divers was identified as Roman Castro, 30, of Mission Valley. Lerum said lifeguards believe it is likely the shark involved was a sevengill because of its markings described by the divers, and because it is a species known to be somewhat aggressive. The number of local sightings of sevengills has increased, said Lerum, though he wasn’t sure that was because there are more of them or because water users are more aware they’re out there and are looking out for them.

Order protects La Jolla High School benches — for now By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com A Superior Court judge has ordered a preliminary injunction restraining La Jolla High School officials from limiting messages that can be painted on three senior benches. The order was issued June 9 in the case of Yumehiko Hoshijima v. Dana Shelburne, La Jolla High School principal. A graduating La Jolla High senior, Hoshijima has secured the aid of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in a legal challenge to Shelburne’s stance that the benches are reserved for positive, schoolonly messages and that a nearby a bulletin board should be used instead as an open forum for non-schoolrelated student expression. “The stipulated preliminary injunction signed by Judge Jeffrey B. Barton represents an important victory in the fight for freedom of speech at the LJHS Campus,” said David Blair-Loy, legal director of the San Diego ACLU. “Now that the censorship is halted, we can move forward to resolve the case.” The court order, nonethe-

Thomas J. Umberg, an attorney with the law firm of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, specializing in federal and state policy and regulatory matters, was elected chairman, succeeding Curt Pringle whose term ended

Torres earns Division IV honor By Phil Dailey phildailey@lajollalight.com La Jolla Country Day senior catcher Anthony Torres was named the San Diego CIF’s Division IV player of the year for baseball. Torres, who helped lead the Torreys to the team’s first CIF baseball title last week, will head to Iowa in the fall where he will continue his baseball career for the Hawkeyes. “Anthony was not only a fantastic player who produced from our No. 3 spot offensively and shut down our opponents running games from his catcher position,” LJCD coach John Edman said, “but he was also one of the best captains we have ever had. He really brought this team together with his humility and genuine care for his team and teammates.” Also honored was Tommy Edman, who was named to the first team while Austin Rooke, Dustin Hughes and Alex Guenette were named to the second team.

Mustang champions, Cass Street, with runner up, Morgan Stanley. Courtesy To give you an idea of how well matched the playoffs were in LJYB last week, at one point on Wednesday afternoon, all three games being played on the Pony, Mustang and Pinto fields went into extra innings — and two of them were championship games. The stands were charged, the players felt the pressure and a couple of games had walk-off endings. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Morgan Stanley manhandled Voices for Children 16-6 in the first semifinal game in Mustang. In the other semifinal game, Cass Street was down 4-2 to Care Drugs Pharmacy in the bottom of the sixth in a tense backand-forth game that included a number of close calls. With one out and two runners on base, Kai Leach hit a slicing drive over the 1st baseman’s head to tie the game at 4-4. He subsequently stole third and in what appeared to be a base running blunder, he gets caught off the bag by pitcher Conner Noon, forcing him to break for home where he slid safely under the tag to win the game, 5-4. The Mustang championship game between undefeated Morgan Stanley and No. 2 seed Cass Street was a real barn burner, with a number of lead changes through five innings. With the game tied 6-6 in the top of the sixth inning with closer Blaise Gimber on the hill with two outs and two strikes on the batter, Tate Musante boldly steals home to take a 7-6 lead. In the bottom of the sixth, Gimber steals

home on a passed ball to tie the game. With Axel Youngdale representing the winning run at third base, Morgan Stanley fails to execute a squeeze bunt and Carsten Fehlan tags him out at home plate to send the game into extra innings. Cass Street poured on the offense in the top of the seventh, scoring five runs off of Evan Brown in relief to make it 12-7. Morgan Stanley has their last at bats and the umpire warns both benches that he will call the game due to darkness in 10 minutes, which would revert the score back to a 7-7 tie. Cole Rehm is working as fast as he can on the mound, but balks in a run. Another run comes across on a passed ball. With two outs, Kai Leach make a running catch on a line drive to the fence to end the game 12-9. Cass Street — 2011 Mustang Champions! The action on the Pinto field was just as close. In the first semifinal game, Jeff Lang Homes out-slugged Scoma Pediatric Dentistry 20-15. In the second semifinal game, Mitch’s Surf Shop and Harry’s Coffee Shop were knotted at 5-5 for the first few innings until Mitch’s broke the game open with 10 unanswered runs. Harry’s battled back but Mitch’s matched them again, advancing to the Championship game with an impressive 20-15 final. Mitch’s also had to beat No. 2 seed Willis Allen in the quarterfinals as part of their unlikely march into the championship game.

Doyle takes 11th at state La Jolla High freshman impressive in first season BY PhiL DAiLeY phildailey@lajollalight.com La Jolla freshman Ben Doyle didn’t have many expectations heading into his first high school season as a golfer. By the time he was done last week at the state tournament at Poppy Hills, he may have bigger goals for the next three years. Doyle, who lives in Bird Rock, started hitting golf balls when he was 2 years Ben old. He played his first Doyle tournament when he was 5 years old. Now 15, Doyle can add state qualifier to his resume. He advanced to state tournament after winning the CIF Southern Championship in late May. Though he finished tied for 11th at state

Triton’s softball staff honored Head coach Patti Gerckens and assistant coaches Jessica Millsap, Allison May, Nichole Willis and Sara Robinson of 2011 NCAA Division II National Champion No. 1 UC San Diego have been named as the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II National Coaching Staff of the Year. The Tritons put together their best season in program history, going 45-13 overall and 22-9 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association to clinch the first regular-season league title in school history. The 45 wins by the 2011 team is a new school record and the .775 winning percentage also broke the program’s previous top mark at the Division II level.

(carding a 74), he was pleased with his result. “As far as the round, I was playing really well for the first nine holes, I got to 2-under, but I had a bogey streak at the end of the round,” Doyle said. He ended up with four straight bogeys to end the round, finishing at 2-over. Scripps Ranch senior Alexander Schauffele and Pleasanton Foothill’s Nicolo Galletti both shot 69s for the championship, but it was Schauffel who won in a three-hole playoff. “I’m pretty satisfied with what I did this year because I know it’s pretty hard to even get to state,” Doyle said. “I know for the next year it’s still going to be just as hard.” Doyle is playing at the Las Vegas Junior Open this week, which got under way on Tuesday. He plans on playing at the California State Amateur next week at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. Later this summer he plans on playing in the Junior World Golf Championship, which is at Torrey Pines in July.

From LJYB, A22 For the Pinto Championship, underdog seventh seed Mitch’s Surf Shop faced No. 1 seed Jeff Lang Homes Aviators, who had the best record through the regular season. Mitch’s jumped out to an early seven run lead before it tightened up at 17-12 after five innings. The offensive punch of the Aviators came through in the top of the sixth, led by a spectacular two-run homer — a frozen rope — by Tyler Blackburn, followed by a ground-rule double by Jack Boynton, sending the game into extra innings. Coach Bo Solis brought his team together to re-group their solid defense, which apparently worked as the Aviators went scoreless in the top

of the seventh. In the bottom half of the frame, Mitch’s put together a rally worthy of ESPN coverage, capped by a walk-off double by Devin Bale that scored Adam Gans for an 18-17 victory. Mitch’s Surf Shop — 2011 Pinto Champions! For the family and friends who watched the championship games last Wednesday, it was arguably the most exciting and entertaining baseball in recent memory. Congratulations to all of the players and coaches who enjoyed an outstanding season. The only playoff games still being played are in the Pony division and we will have a complete report on their tournament next week. —Tom Murphy, LJYB

‘in vino veritas’ proves crafty maxim for vintner, mom Kerith Overstreet Kerith Overstreet jokingly calls herself “a triple threat” — Bruliam Wines co-founder, medical doctor, and mom to three young kids. After retiring from general surgery (to pursue pathology) and then Kerith medicine (to have babies), Overstreet she taught herself to recite “Goodnight Moon” in 27 languages. Knowing she couldn’t very well sit around quaffing wine all day without due cause, she said she jumped headfirst into winemaking. Her final baby, Bruliam Wines, was established in 2007. Bruliam, an amalgamation of her kids’ names (Bruno, Lily, and Amelia) was founded with a devotion to craft worldclass wines and a mandate to donate 100-percent of its proceeds to charity. Since its inception, Bruliam Wines has garnered national acclaim and a local following — all while funding some 30 local and national charities chosen directly by Bruliam fans.

La Jolla native helps pen new Palin tell-all BY JOE TASH former aide to ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin asserts in a new book that Palin is “ill suited” to head a political party or occupy national office, and her election “would lead to a disaster of … biblical proportions.” “Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin” was written by Frank Bailey, who worked on Palin’s campaign for governor and later served in her administration. He was a key figure in the Troopergate scandal, in which it was alleged that Palin improperly sought the firCo-author ing of an Alaska state Ken trooper who had been Morris married to Palin’s sister. Bailey co-wrote the book with novelist and political commentator Ken Morris, who attended high school in La Jolla and still maintains a house in Del Mar, and Alaska political blogger Jeanne Devon.

Sunday as a greeter.” Elder serves alongside church deacons one-third his age. He built and crafted the floorto-ceiling wooden cross, which is the visual focal point in the church worship center. Elder is also a blood donor at church drives, where he has given 48 pints of blood over the years. Elder earned his pilot’s license while in high school in Dallas. He joined the Navy at the onset of World War II and was engaged in numerous bombing missions in the South Pacific. Following 25 years of naval

service, he retired as a Commander. A recipient of the Navy Cross, he logged over 11,000 hours flying time and completed 464 carrier landings. He and his crews were reported to have sunk more enemy ships than any crew in the Pacific theater. Following retirement, Elder entered Foreign Service and moved to San Diego in 1973 where he earned a degree in anthropology from UCSD. His wife of 63 years, Lois, died in 2008. In addition to serving as a church deacon, Elder remains active as a craftsman in wood-working projects.

FROM TELL-ALL, B1 Morris. “She is a very disturbed person and I feel sorry for her.” The Palin camp has dismissed the book as a fabrication. “Mr. Bailey has an axe to grind and abandoned truth in his book. The cover of the book tells this story, two completely different photos twisted and Photo-shopped to create a fraudulent image. The book belongs on the fiction shelves,” said Tim Crawford, a spokesman for SarahPAC, Palin’s political action committee, in an article published on the website Politico. But Morris said every key point in the book is backed up by e-mails from Bailey’s files. He said Palin supporters have not challenged the accuracy of any fact in the book, and that many book covers contain electronically altered images. In the case of “Blind Ambition,” photos of Bailey and Palin are juxtaposed to make it appear that Bailey is standing behind Palin. “The attack machine is about everything but what’s between the covers,” Morris said.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JUNE 16, 2011 - Page B3

Among the book’s assertions: n When Palin returned to Alaska after she and running mate John McCain lost the presidential election in November 2008, she told reporters, “this is the best job in the world, being the governor.” At the time, Bailey recalled, he had recently received an e-mail from Palin saying, “pray that we win so we can all get out of this place.” Bailey said he’d also heard her say or write, “I hate this damn job.” She resigned from the governor’s job in July 2009, with more than a year left on her term. n Palin’s gubernatorial campaign violated state election law when it coordinated with an outside group, the Republican Governor’s Association, to produce a commercial that portrayed Palin in a positive light while giving a negative connotation to Palin’s opponent. n Palin was outraged at a perceived slight by former House speaker Newt Gingrich, regarding a speaking engagement at a congressional fund-raising dinner. Palin reportedly wrote in an email, “I went from being the invited keynote speaker back in February, to just the

surprise introducer of the speaker this month, to the back-of-the-bus’er (“sit down and shut up”) the day before the event. One of the organizers told Meg last night that Newt pulled the plug, said he didn’t want me to ‘steal the show’. “Yes, (Newt/GOP) are egotistical, narrow-minded machine goons, but all the more reason God protected me from getting up on stage in front of 5,000 political and media ‘elites’ to praise him, then it would be shown across the nation. “At some point Newt would have shown his true colors anyway and we would have been devastated having known we’d earlier prostituted ourselves up in front of the country introducing him and acting like that good ol’ rich white guy is the savior of the party.” One of the main points of the book, said Morris, is that the political parties and voters have to do a better job of checking out candidates for high office. Otherwise, he said, an unqualified candidate — he points to Palin as an example — could wind up as either president or vice president.

When Morris and his family are in San Diego, they visit Morris’ brother, who owns the Kansas City Barbecue restaurant downtown. Morris’ wife, Amelia, works for a San Diego-based equity firm. Morris lived in La Jolla for about 20 years, and his father, who died two years ago, was the former chairman of the board of San Diego Gas & Electric Co. A former Wall Street executive, Morris has written two novels, “Man in the Middle” and “The Deadly Trade,” both financial thrillers. He said a new novel, with the working title of “Golden Rules,” is set to be published soon. It tells the story of a female private investigator in New York City on the trail of a murderer. While he doesn’t expect Palin to run for president in 2012 — in spite of her much publicized recent bus tour of the northeastern United States — Morris said developments, such as Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee staying out of the race, and Gingrich’s campaign troubles, could tempt her into the fray. “If she ever won, I’d have to move,” Morris said.

Jewish women meet to tout programs

he Jewish Women’s Foundation held its annual luncheon at the home of Hanna Gleiberman on May 31. The event featured speaker Christine Grumm, CEO of the San Francisco-based Women’s Funding Network, an organization that holds $535 million to assist women and girls in 26 countries throughout the world. Chairman Jennifer Levitt spoke about the new JWF initiative, embarked on 18 months ago, to promote selfesteem for Jewish teenage girls in San Diego County. The JWF awarded more than $245,000 in grants to support five such programs. Jessica Nare from “Girls Give Back,” said the program is getting response with 26 girls enrolled for the summer and 10 enrolled for the fall. Girls Give Back promotes leadership and empowerment skills in high school-age girls through service learning projects. During fiscal year 2009-10, the Foundation, with some 100 members, awarded $68 million in 5,000 grants to more than 1,500 Jewish and general organizations in San Diego, Israel, and across the world.

He called his kids together to ask which one of them should get the present. “Who is the most obedient?” he asked. “Who never talks back to mother?

Awed by the great power of the sun, civilizations have for centuries celebrated the Solstice (aka Midsummer, St. John’s Day or the Wiccan Litha. The Celts and Slavs marked it with dancing and bonfires to help increase the sun’s energy; the Chinese celebrated by honoring Li, the Goddess of Light. The belief of a “lucky” wedding in June comes from the Druids’ celebration of the day as the “wedding of Heaven and Earth.” In England at Stonehenge and Avebury, thousands gather, still today, to welcome the sunrise on the Summer Solstice. — chiff.com

Taking one’s igloos for a spin … Let Inga tell you ... Now that all the local high schools have graduated, I can safely tell the saga of a friend’s teenage daughter who has a serious future in spin. In fact, if I were a political organization, I’d be signing her up now. I happened to be visiting her mother when the daughter arrived home in a panic at five o’clock after a sports practice to announce that a project she thought was due in “a few months” was in fact due the next day. The

FROM 10 questiOns, B1 or improve in the area? OK, can we please just fix the potholes?

assignment was to make either a diorama or a flat board depiction of “my ideal life.” But daughter also had a “super important” history test the next day. “Please, mom,” she says, “Can you help me?” Both parties were clear what “help” meant. Let me interject here that there is not a mom in America who has not been put in this position in some form or another, even if it’s the 10 p.m. announcement that three dozen cookies are required for the school bake sale the next day. Fortunately, my friend was a pro at school projects, to the envy (and abject jealousy) of all her friends, including me. The Plaster of Paris topography map of central Asia was to scale, the science fair board sparkled in glitter paper wonder, the Christmas

diorama sported a batteryoperated fireplace and a yuletide soundtrack, and the oral report on Colonial America was delivered via two hand-made museumquality puppets of George and Martha Washington. Fortuitously, she had a virtual warehouse of her kids’ former projects carefully stored in the garage. A local gallery should do a retrospective. Surveying the arsenal of possibilities, she asks her daughter a question that in my mind should be immortalized: “So, do you care what your ideal life looks like?” And daughter says, “Nope.” Mom pulls out a board that one of her sons did in the second grade, exact topic no longer obvious. But it has a bunch of Styrofoam igloos glued to it with a lot of white snow around

them. Hard to imagine that a La Jolla born-and-bred child’s ideal life would include living in an igloo and eating whale blubber with no Burger Lounge in sight. Daughter has to admit that the accompanying paragraph — yes! they did actually have to create prose! — was going to be a tough sell. So she suggests that mom could maybe scrape off the snow in one corner and add some sand for a beach. She ponders this a bit more and adds brightly, “I could say that I like contrasts! My ideal life is about contrasts!” As I said, the young lady definitely has a future in politics. While daughter goes upstairs to wax poetic about contrasts, mom dutifully sets about making little palm trees out of pipe clean-

ers and green construction paper to stick into the sand to make it look appropriately beachy. Et voilà! Or not. Just in time, mom notices that in large block letters on the bottom of the board is the name of her older son and the notation “Grade 2.” Mom sets a land speed record getting a can of black spray paint at Meanley’s in the 10 minutes before it closes. One could always make the argument that one was re-using just the wooden board from a long-ago project, but I like to think that any teacher worth her salt would be a tad suspicious about the remarkable coincidence of the “second grade” ID on the bottom in combination with the igloos. At least I hope she would. But then, this is a teacher who assigned dioramas as a term

project for a high school Advanced English class. Ironically, the project they ended up doing would have made an excellent assignment: Take a previous project and give it an entirely different conclusion. Anymore, we live in a world of spin. Never too early to develop the skill. By the way, grade on this project? B+. One of the highest grades in the class. The teacher also gave daughter an excellent recommendation for college. Where, I’m hoping, the diorama and flat board projects are in the daughter’s academic past. But if not, have I got a garage for her. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in The La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

would you invite? 1) Jane Austen. Her keen social observations and snarky critiques are still sharp, relevant, and

hilarious. 2) Tiger Mom. Her childrearing mojo makes me feel ineffectual and pathetic. But she’s oddly compelling. If she can convince a child to practice violin for four hours, she must have some pretty solid homework strategies. 3) Denyce Graves. I am an opera fanatic and longstanding supporter of San Diego Opera. 4) Helen Turley. She’s polarizing, controversial, intensely focused, and wildly passionate winemaker. 5) Raj Parr. He’s the superstar sommelier du jour at the core of the “wine balance” debate. He’s my pop culture pick. Plus you’d get free wine service. 6) Thomas Keller. If you’ve ever tasted the Salmon Cornet ice cream cones, you’ll relate.

He’s at the top of his game and still pursues perfection daily. 7) Hilary Clinton. She’s brilliant, dedicated, and loves a good handbag. She’s a woman who inspires you to be better. 8) I’d be remiss if I excluded my husband, Brian. Hi, honey!

What is your greatest accomplishment? The day I received a 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast for my 2009 Santa Lucia Highlands Doctor’s Vineyard pinot noir.

I still pinch myself when I look around and see how I’ve channeled my passion for wine, science, philanthropy, and writing into a career. What is your philosophy of life?

Preparing to pay for the rising cost of college

Rancho Bernardo woman teaches free workshops to help parents save thousands

Rancho Bernardo---Parents that are planning on sending a child to college in the next few years, but aren’t quite sure how to pay for it can now rest a little easier. Michelle Mai of College Planning Source has been educating parents in the community for over 7 years about what to do if they haven’t saved enough for college. ‘It’s really sad, but most parents that we talk to have done real well financially, but never found the time to save for college, and now they’re facing a bill of $20,000-$58,000 a year, and they don’t know who to

turn to,’ she says. Parents will have two opportunities to hear Michelle speak in June. She is teaching her class ‘How to Maximize Your Student’s Future Financial Aid Award While Minimizing Your Family’s Out-of-Pocket Costs!’ on Saturday, June 25th (11:45am1:15pm) at the Carmel Valley Library; and Saturday, July 16th (10:30am-11:45am) at the Carmel Mountain Library. The workshop will focus on littleknown ways of getting money for college, no matter how much income you make, or how good of a student ADVERTISEMENT

you have. The class will include such topics as how to double or triple your eligibility for free grant money, the secret to sending your child to a private or UC school for less than the cost of a Cal State school, and the single biggest mistake that 9 out of 10 parents make when planning for college. ‘Don’t forget: the class is free, but seats are limited, and we’ve had to turn away people in previous months.’ You can reserve a seat by calling (858) 676-0700 or registering online at www.collegeplanningsource.com

By Will Parson ummer is the most exciting time of year for Jason Knibb, executive chef at the Hotel Grand Colonial’s Nine-Ten Restaurant. Knibb has a distinct commitment to farm-to-table dining. So as more and more fresh, local ingredients become available, he’s able to get more playful with his menu. “Everyone gets excited, and not just me, I think in general — chefs and cooks. If you go to the farmers markets you can see people’s tables really grow. The menu gets bigger and more fun and complex I guess.” Knibb’s Pea Tortellini and White Asparagus reflects the spring season. And the “fun and the variety” of summer, as he describes, is evident in the Chino Farms Squash and Zucchini dish that also has fresh garbanzo beans and roasted cherry tomatoes. The squash and zucchini appear with the Roasted Rabbit dish, as well. “I think they use really great local ingredients and they are creative, and I always go ‘oh wow!’ ” said diner Susan Shmalo on a recent visit. Shmalo had the Slow Roasted California Natural Lamb

■ This week: Nine-Ten’s Port Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs Loin, while her friend tried the Northern Halibut. Shmalo also pointed out that (despite being in a nexus of tourist activity) the staff is friendly, caring and warm. “I’ve lived in La Jolla for 10 years, off and on. I’ve always been really happy with big parties here, and little dinners,” she said. For dessert, Shmalo had the Meyer Lemon Tart — something to be very happy about, too. Chef Knibb almost reluctantly admits that the Jamaican Jerk Pork Belly makes for a nice story, since he was born in Jamaica and the dish is certainly inspired by his heritage. “I guess (Caribbean cuisine) is something I love to eat and I try to do it if I find the right application,” he said. “I try to do

a little twist on it, try to clean it up, more fun, more modern.” What you definitely won’t see in the street-food version of the jerk pork belly is the habanero gelatin, made with three types of gelatin, sliced thin and layered onto the meat. But instead of bursting, the gelatin melts onto the pork just a little bit, adding a surprisingly delightful kick to the dish for first-timers. Those first-timers might do well to choose Nine-Ten’s “Mercy of the Chef” tasting menu. Left to the chef’s expertise, you will likely be led through a raw dish or salad, a fish, a meat, a cheese, and then a dessert. Like the current season, Knibb said the introduction is a fun one.

In April, the Oceanside Museum of Art focused on his ability to turn mundane things like potatoes, kitchenware, and hand tools into art in a show called “Looking for a Miracle?” (See “Italo Scanga Returns to Life” at www.lajollalight. com/2011/04/28/italoscanga-‘returns’-to-life-viahis-works-now-on-exhibitin-oceanside/) This month, a companion exhibition, organized by Stephanie Scanga, former wife of the artist and installation consultant at the Athenaeum, will show more of the breadth of his work in “Restorations: Art and Artifacts: Italo Scanga at the Athenaeum.” Included will be reconstructions of several of his early installations, collage paintings, sculptures, catalogues and books. Several of these pieces were previously shown at Scanga’s first Athenaeum exhibit, in 1992. There were two more exhibits over the following decade, before his untimely death in 2001. “This time, we’re concentrating on his work from the 1950s through the 1990s,”

And we’ll show some of his ‘80’s collaborations, the prints that he did with Brighton Press, which offered local artists a space to do fine prints.” Of course, since the Athenaeum is a music and arts library, there will also be music — sheet music that the artist painted over in the ‘90s, and ceramics with musical themes. Like Scanga himself, Restorations promises to be eclectic, thought provoking, and invigorating.

Ted Williams: A Tip of the Cap This one-person tour de force performance encompasses the life of one of baseball’s legendary greats: The Boston Red Sox’s Ted Williams (1918-2002) who was born and raised in San Diego. Written and directed by North Coast Repertory Theatre’s Matt Thompson, and starring Johnny Clark, it follows Ted’s life from his humble beginnings to his shinning accomplishments on the diamond. Through performance and visual imagery, The Splendid Splinter recalls his life on and off the field; his failed marriages, his distant sense of family, his scoffs with the media, his heroics in The Korean War, his near impossible accomplishment of hitting .406, and finally his entrance into baseball’s Hall of Fame. Showtimes 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 20 and Tuesday, 21. Tickets $15-$20 at NCRT Box Office (noon to 4 p.m. daily) 987 Lomas Santa Fe, Solana Beach and northcoastrep.org

Faith, fate clash in stirring ‘Asher Lev’

Let’s Review

By diana Saenger

Families often differ on religious beliefs, but when a Hassidic Jewish son shows early signs of breaking with tradition, the Lev family is up in arms. That’s the premise of “My Name Is Asher Lev,” playing at the North Coast Repertory Theatre through June 26. But there is nothing ordinary about this version of the conflict (adapted from the powerful novel by Chaim Potok) or the engrossing performances by its three actors. Asher Lev (Craig De Lorenzo) begins drawing as a young child. While his mother, Rivkeh (Crystal Sershen), questions some of his sub-

jects as inappropriate for an observant Jew to be sketching, she can only offer advice and the love of a mother. Asher’s father, Aryeh, (David Ellenstein) is not so easy on his son. He has a position to protect, as he’s becoming a right-hand man to the important Rebbe, the spiritual master and guide of a Hassidic community. Although Asher stops painting for a few years, he comes to realize painting is in his soul. “A life is measured by how a man lives,” says Asher who relates much of his story to the audience in the first person. By the time he’s a young man, even his father admits Asher has a gifted talent. But Aryeh cannot understand or abide his son’s obvious disdain of the orthodox religion and cautions Asher to fight against his inklings or they “will destroy the world.” However, when the Rebbe suggests that Asher needs to follow his heart and arranges for him to meet Jewish artist Jacob Kahn, Asher de-

Under his apprenticeship with Kahn, Asher learns – with a grimacing face – that painting nudes is how beginners learn their art. When he moves on to paint crucifixions, it’s more than his parents can tolerate. There’s not a moment in this show when one doesn’t feel the gut-wrenching tugof-war between these three family members. Kahn tells Asher “art IS a religion,” and throughout the play, Asher

builds a slow-boiling pot of reasoning for the pain he causes his parents, but it’s never without a good helping of guilt. Sershen, who also portrays two other characters in the play, is most perplexed as a Jewish mother, woman and wife. Whether worrying about her traveling husband, her disobedient son or her deceased brother, she wears her broken heart on her sleeve, and we, the audience, feel as if we’re wearing it, too. In an interview advancing the production, NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein told me he had an affinity and connection to Potok’s writing and “Asher Lev” had a profound effect on him. Those feelings are transcended on stage in the four characters he plays. As Asher’s father, embarrassed by his sons’ dismissal of morals and responsibility, he tries early on to teach his son the traditions of his family. Ellenstein throws a ridged passion into every scene as Aryeh while giving instructions to his son and

asher Lev (Craig de Lorenzo) quarrels with his parents (Crystal Sershen, david ellenstein) over religious traditions. AAron rumley his wife. In the Rebbe, Ellenstein instills a reverence that’s intended to guide by inspiration. Joyfully, as Yitzchok, Rivkeh’s visiting uncle, we get to see a really humorous side of Ellenstein. In Kahn, Ellenstein exudes just enough charm to entice Asher to follow his dream, and just enough wisdom to

challenge the young artist about his life choices at every turning point. With its engaging story and solid performances, North Coast Rep maintains its reputation for delivering thoroughly entertaining yet thought-provoking productions. Don’t miss “My Name Is Asher Lev.”

you really want to make him grounded at some point. But Ron Daniels (director) has a very specific vision for this production. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really playing down the comedy to find the truth of the story.â&#x20AC;? While â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amadeusâ&#x20AC;? features traditional music, Whittaker said the music for â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tempestâ&#x20AC;? was written especially for this production and is very exciting. He credits the Old Globe for its

â&#x20AC;&#x153;outstanding effortsâ&#x20AC;? with the Shakespeare productions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do things right by bringing in experienced actors and directors and making them happy by treating them with respect and giving the directors what they need.â&#x20AC;?

Photo exhibit shows La Jolla back when …. and right now By Ruth ChandleR Now through Aug. 21, visitors to the Historical Society’s new exhibition, “La Jolla: Then & Now,” will see archival images of La Jolla taken from the Society’s vast collection juxtaposed with beautiful contemporary photos from photographer Rudy Vaca to compare and contrast the past and present. The images emphasize the growth of the simple village of tiny cottages and dirt roads that evolved into a modern urban seacoast town of multi-level structures, expansive lush estates, and heavily trafficked thoroughfares.

The exhibit is based on the recently published book of the same name, “La Jolla: Then & Now,” by Society historian Carol Olten. “The camera is a time machine that captures a particular moment in time,” said curator and archivist Michael Mishler. “The images drawn from the Society’s collection used to create Carol’s book and the exhibit, take us back in time as Rudy’s photos bring us back to the here and now. “It is important to realize though, that within a few years, Rudy’s photos will be used by future generations to remember La

Jolla as it used to be in 2010.” Olten’s book, available from Arcadia Publishing, showcases vintage photographs from the Society’s collection and includes many subjects — hotels, storefronts, private residences, shorelines, parks, and streets and avenues — all revealing the sometimes striking transformations that have occurred through more than 100 years of La Jolla history. As Olten writes in the introduction of the book, “La Jolla, known worldwide for its natural beauty, benign coastal climate and resort atmosphere, has grown like the pro-

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JUNE 16, 2011 - Page B17

Surrealism party attracts art-lovers to The House of the Future By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt Ian Ashley sure knows how to throw a party. The former La Jollan found her current home, “The House of the Future,” through the La Jolla Light. Designed by modernist architect Lloyd Ruocco (1907-81), whose local credits include the Institute of Geophysics & Planetary Physics at SIO and the International Center at UCSD, the house was originally built for a 1953 exposition in Balboa Park, and later moved to Alvarado Estates. For almost a decade now, Ashley has been staging theme parties as benefits for local arts organizations. On June 4, her latest event, a “Surrealism Party” fundraiser for San Diego Visual Artists Guild, was a fantasy of interactive art installations, fashion shows, impromptu performances, and music. 400 guests, many of them costumed to reflect the party’s theme, enjoyed two levels of 3-D black-light art, archeo-sculptures, sand painting, film projections, and dancing, and partied ‘til the early morning hours. “I am a party planner on steroids,” said the hostess. “I get bored easily so I don’t want my guests to be bored.”

Craftsman furniture fans will flock to new Stickley exhibition “Gustav Stickley & The American Arts and Crafts Movement,” the first nationally touring exhibition to focus on the artist’s career and his contributions to the history of American design and architecture, will show June 18–Sept. 11 at The San Diego Museum of Art. The collection contains furniture, metal ware and embroidered textiles, and the majority of objects come from private collections never seen by the public. Focusing on Stickley’s most creative period, 1900 to 1913, the exhibition illuminates the vibrant identity of the “Craftsman” style that Stickley developed and furthered through his wares. Stickley offered customers a complete lifestyle based on his philosophy of simple design and quality materials, a philosophy disseminated both through his magazine, “The Craftsman,” and in his stores. One of the highlights is the re-creation of the dining room first displayed in the 1903 Arts and Crafts Exhibition organized by Stickley

■ One of 11 children of German émigrés, born Gustavus Stoeckel on March 9, 1858 in Osceola, Wis. ■ In 1876, the family moved to Brandt, Penn., where he worked in his uncle’s chair factory. ■ His industrious nature led him to form Stickley Brothers & Company in 1883, the same year he married Eda Ann Simmons. ■ Within five years, the company dissolved and Stickley partnered with furniture salesman Elgin Simonds to form Stickley & Simonds. ■ A decade later (after travels to Europe, where he was exposed to progressive designs, including those by Liberty of London) Stickley assumed control of the firm, Gustav Stickley Company. ■ In 1901, the year following his introduction of a new line of Arts and Crafts furniture, the firm was renamed the United Crafts. It was renamed again as Craftsman Workshops in 1903 and remained so until its dissolution in 1916. ■ Stickley’s retail network eventually included more than 100 stores across the United States. ■ In 1915, he filed for bankruptcy, stopping publication of The Craftsman in December 1916 and selling Craftsman Farms in 1917. ■ He died on April 21, 1942.

Other highlights include an armoire, c. 1907-1912, that Stickley kept for private use in the decades after he sold his business, and works showcasing his experimentation with different varnishes, which can still be seen as a patchwork of colors on the undersides of the drawers. Also on view is a rare armchair, c. 1903, with copper and wood inlay reflect-

In fact, for many European, Canadian, Japanese or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in La Jolla can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies.
