Parking crunch pits neighbors against students from UCSD
DAVE SCHWAB
BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com Students and neighbors agree UCSD has parking problems on — and off — campus. But how to resolve them is where the agreement ends. “They should build a huge parking structure instead of building (more) housing,” said Pedro, a former UCSD student now a Salk Institute employee, who parks in the same vacant lot near the Torrey Pines Gliderport that he did as a student — and as hundreds of students still do. “It’s (parking’s) way too expensive,” said Parisa, a fourth-year UCSD theater major about the $732 annual — or $61 monthly — cost of a student parking permit. She was making the 5to 10-minute walk to class one morning last week SEE PARKING, A14

The median strip on the La Jolla Parkway known as ‘The Teardrop,’ above, will get a new look with cobblestone pavers filling in the dirt-filled space. The stamped concrete border will remain.
Community Foundation takes on La Jolla gateway paving project BY DAVE SCHWAB daves@lajollalight.com It took Texans to point out to La Jollans that their teardropshaped traffic median east of “The Throat” in La Jolla Parkway needed some attention. The suggestion led the nonprofit La Jolla Community Foundation to take on restoration of the 3,000-square-foot,
weed-filled median — nicknamed “The Teardrop” as its latest project. “We’ve been working on it for probably three months, and it really sort of grew out of a suggestion by good friends in Texas who have second homes here,” said Andy Nelson, a Foundation board member who is heading the project for
the organization formed in 2009 to enrich the Jewel’s environmental, social and cultural landscape. “The idea is to get $55,000 needed in donated funds, then get final approval from the city to get this accomplished as quickly as possible,” said

Eddie V’s, the stylish restaurant that breathed new life into the former home of the Chart House at 1270 Prospect St., deserves kudos for combining the new and the old with the kind of polish the Jewel deserves. With its window-lined dining room and outside spaces affording diners spectacular views of the coastline, you’d think that it’s all about the views. But the owners restored the fireplace from the Green Dragon Colony, along with the words inscribed on the fireplace and 35 columns from the Chart House as they built what has become one of the hot new dining spots in La Jolla.

taxes” and that “(city) services being rendered don’t match the tax base.” Town Council President Rick Wildman is convinced most La Jollans support incorporation. “There’s no doubt,” he said. “It’s like the (anti-) parking meter thing: The only people against it are those who’ve said it’s never going to happen.” Noting the town council has already “had a pretty active role” in

framing the incorporation debate, Wildman said city public services are presently so poor that “it makes sense to everybody” that incorporating is the only way to “have some control” if La Jolla is ever to “reach its highest place and fulfill its potential.” Since as far back as the 1940s, various La Jolla groups have explored the possibility of incorporating. During the last attempt in 2006, a fiscal analysis was done
which showed a budget surplus of more than $5.2 million resulting from La Jolla becoming a city. But that study showed La Jolla’s “secession” from San Diego would come at a price: $4.6 million a year in “alimony” — compensation payments to the city of San Diego for four to eight years after a new city of La Jolla was formed. Longtime La Jolla cityhood supporter Melinda Merryweather talked about what the incorporation drive really needs now. “The reason why Independent La Jolla is at a standstill … the only thing we need is money — $2 million worth of it,” she said. “We need to redo our (cityhood) feasibility study, and $50,000 for a map and all the other steps we have to take, amount to about $2 million.” Merryweather had one final question to ask La Jolla cityhood backers. “Is there anybody in the community who’d like to make a donation and have their name put on city hall as the founder of the city of La Jolla?” For more information, go to www.independentlajolla.org, call (858) 368-4110 or e-mail independentlajolla@sandiegocities.org.

‘Classic Christmas’ parade still in search of donations By Dave SchwaB daves@lajollalight.com Fundraising is in full swing for the 54th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival Sunday, Dec. 4. “We need your support,” said Ann Kerr Bache, parade chair for La Jolla Town Council, which sponsors the annual holiday festivities starting with the 2 p.m. parade on Girard Avenue. This year’s theme is “Classic Christmas.” Activities continue after the parade at 3:30 p.m. with the Holiday Festival at the La Jolla Recreation Center, which ends with the lighting of the Christmas Tree sponsored by the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club and GDC Construction. Children will be able to get their pictures taken with Santa. “We’re about three-quarters of the way, to the fundraising goal of $45,000,” Kerr Bache said, noting the parade costs about $45,000 when you consider all of the costs like police staffing, rentals and the like. “We need another $10,000 to $15,000 by parade time.” About 70 percent of the cost comes from individual donors with the rest from organizations and businesses. This year the Dr. Seuss Foundation and the La Valencia have contributed to date. The committee is waiting to find out if they will get a donation from County Supervisor Ron Roberts’ office. Donations can be made online at www.ljparade.com and you can find out who will be participating on the website by this weekend. So far, Kerr Bache said, “We’ve got about six or seven bands, including the Marine Color Guard and 50-plus equestrians as well as numerous floats.” Kerr said the parade honorees include June Barrymore Ash, selected as Grand Mar-

Flower basket decision hanging in the wind By KAthy DAy kday@lajollalight.com Flower baskets in the Village area won’t get a total makeover for the holidays as some merchants had hoped, but they should get more attention. At a Tuesday committee meeting, seven board members from the La Jolla Village Merchants Association discussed various options for revitalizing the hanging baskets. The meeting was called after the full board asked for more information when questions were raised about the cost of a proposal that would have put new, lusher baskets up in time for the holidays. After reviewing the options, which included new baskets or removing the old ones until a new plan could be ap-
proved, those attending the meeting agreed to develop a request for bids that would cover only maintenance through February. Debbie Newell, owner of Adelaide’s who is heading the committee, said it hoped to have bids back for the board to look at in December. In the meantime, the full board will wait for a detailed look at the budget for the rest of the fiscal year before deciding on a more extensive flower plan. n In other LJVMA action, at the Nov. 9 board meeting the group heard details on the Town Council’s Shop La Jolla Initiative, being developed with business members of the council. Those with Town Council memberships will be able to take advantage of discounts or special offers at participat-
ing businesses, said Greg Phillips, who is organizing the program. n The board also agreed with a recommendation from the Promotions Committee to drop the 2012 Gallery Wine Walk and Taste event, which has seen a drop in attendance in recent years, from its planning calendar. “It’s time to move on to new events,” said executive director Rosemary Murrieta, including something dubbed “Haute La Jolla Nights” that’s still being developed. Another possibility, suggested by Sherri Ahern, organizer of the La Jolla Art & Wine Festival, is for the merchants group to join her effort as she explores shifting it into the Village from its location on upper Girard.
Former Jack’s bookkeeper facing new charges By Kelly Wheeler City News Service A former bookkeeper already accused of stealing more than $3 million from a La Jolla restaurant pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that she embezzled $1.8 million from her mother-in-law in a fraudulent loan scam. Tara Virginia Moore, 39,
was arrested last Thursday. The mother of two had been out of custody after posting $400,000 bail on charges she stole from her former employer, Jack’s La Jolla, a high-end restaurant-bar that closed two years ago. Moore was charged Monday with financial elder abuse, grand theft and forg-

ery and was ordered held on $100,000 bail. Outside the courtroom, Deputy District Attorney Bill Mitchell said Moore was not a “victim’’ in the case, as claimed by defense attorney Paul Pfingst. “She’s not the victim in this case. She’s pretty much a parasite,’’ the prosecutor said. Mitchell said Moore married her fourth husband, Bobby Markovich, in October 2005. Markovich trusted Moore with his finances, and over time, Moore learned Markovich’s mother had well over $1 million in a retirement account, the prosecutor said. Moore contacted her
mother-in-law and said that she was a partner in a 10-acre property being developed in Rancho Bernardo that would bring in $20 million to $34 million in profits when completed, according to the prosecution. The defendant said she was responsible for the licensing and permitting on the property, and over a two-year period, asked for $1.8 million from Dragica “Dorothy’’ Markovich, cleaning out her mother-in-law’s retirement nest egg, Mitchell alleged. The theft left Dorothy Markovich — now 77 and in failing health — almost penniless, according to the prosecutor.

What is Escrow? Escrow is a service which provides the buyer and seller with a means of protection in handling the funds and or documents in a sale. Whether you are the buyer or seller, you want assurance that no funds or property will change hands until all instructions have been followed. The escrow company serves as the communication link to all parties involved in the sale. They request the title report and insurance and prepare the transfer deed that will be recorded for the new buyer when all requirements of the contract are met. They pay off any existing seller loans on the property. The buyer gives their purchase funds to escrow for processing and escrow helps with the new loan documents if the buyer is obtaining a loan. Escrow prorates taxes, interest and rents according to the purchase contract. They disburse funds as authorized and prepare the final accounting statement for all parties. Escrow is considered closed when all documents are recorded and instructions have been carried out per the contract.

Bishop’s senior Josh Clapper, whose parents are retired military, organized a Veterans Day program that featured a combinatory of retired and active duty service personnel. Harry Kaplan, a World War II veteran who was a radio operator in the aerial missions above the eastern Himalayas (“the Hump”), was the keynote speaker. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Oak Leaf Cluster for his service and was one of a group of veterans talking about their service. The other speakers were: n Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Zambon lost both of his legs in an explosion earlier this year while he was deployed to Afghanistan, where he was an explosive ordnance disposal team leader. Still on active duty in the same position, he received two Purple Hearts and a Navy Commendation Medal. n Michael Zoeller, an Air Force veteran who is a representative of the Department of Veteran Affairs. He is coordinator for military funerals at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery; n Nancy Hollingsworth the regional master chief for the Navy Region Southwest has served in the Navy since 1985; n Ryan Proctor, an Army 2nd lieutenant who is a recruiting officer with the San Diego State University Army ROTC Unit.

A top veteran
Army vet finds inspiration working at Francis Parker Francis Parker School has given Army Sgt. Josh Hooker, who was critically injured in an IED explosion in Iraq, a chance to regain his passion while working with the school’s athletic department. And on Veterans Day, he was part of a panel discussion at the school about situations vets have been placed in as a result of their service to their country. During his tour of duty in 2006 with the 101st Airborne, Hooker was critically injured when an IED (improvised explosive device) exploded underneath some concrete near the area he was patrolling, killing the soldier he was walking next to and causing enough damage to his body that his left leg eventually required more than 35 surgeries and had to be amputated below the knee. While working on his rehabilitation at Navy Regional Medical Center, he saw an inquiry from Marcus Barnes, the manager of the Warriors to Work project that is under the umbrella of the Wounded Warrior Project. Barnes was looking for one or more wounded soldiers who wanted to work in the athletic department at a local high school. As a former football and baseball player, the potential position sparked Hooker’s passion for sports and competition, so he interviewed with Barnes and with the school and soon thereafter, the journey began. Grant Lichtman, Parker’s chief operating officer who heard about the Wounded Warriors Program while teaching last summer at West Point, said, “Since these veterans are in rehab projects that might take months or longer, having a way and a place to get out into the community is a real benefit to them. We offered opportunities ranging from game-day preparation and involvement with events, to coaching.”
Sgt. Josh Hooker spoke at one of 20 special classes offered on Friday afternoon as part of the Veterans Day. COURTESY
As a result, Hooker is helping out the department in many ways. He is currently assisting the JV football program on the field during practices and serves as their public address announcer at home games. “This is what I wake up for every morning,” said Hooker. “I get up early and I am excited for practice and I am excited for Friday nights when we play games. You can almost say it’s been like medication for me. This is what I love to do and as long as Parker will have me, I will be here.” Director of Athletics Dan Kuiper, who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, says he envisions finding other ways to use Hooker’s skills. Also, Kuiper and Barnes will present the work that Hooker has done at Parker as a pilot program of sorts to other Athletic Directors at the CIF Coordinating Council meetings in March, with the hopes of other schools giving similar opportunities to other interested Wounded Warriors.

News about studeNts from La JoLLa
uring Bird Rock Elementary School’s recent book fair, children visited the sale before, during and after school. They browsed through all the books and filled out a “wish list” to take home. Students and parents also had the opportunity to purchase books as gifts for their teachers to enhance their classroom libraries. All proceeds from the book fair support programs for children at BRE. The fair is sponsored by the BRE Foundation.

n Four La Jolla High School Science Team and Physics students each earned a $1,000 scholarship in a contest sponsored by the The San Diego Air & Space Museum and Ford Motor Company Fund. Students were asked to portray one change or action that could be made in our everyday lives that would result in making the world a greener place. Shauna Jellison and Maya Lakshman won for their artwork entries. Students Ulysse Carion and Joshua Marsters won for their video entries. Only four $1,000 prizes were awarded in all of San Diego County and all four were earned by LJHS students. The students and two guests attended the Air & Space Museum gala on Nov. 5, where they received their awards. n The La Jolla Science Team competed in the recent Walk on Water Competition at Southwestern College. Team Bauhaus, consisting of pilot Howe Cui, and members Ian Trahan, Sarah Herrmann, Emily Dinnerman and Milan Halgren took the lead while completing the course within 28 seconds in the first round, and 23 seconds in the finals. This was Cui’s second year on a winning team. Team Lusitania, consisting of pilots Winn Cui and Allen Cao, and members Zachary Ye and Belton Zhong, vied for second place against Mark Twain High’s Team Phoenix; they were less than a second apart. Although the judges had difficulty timing Team Lusitania, they completed the course within 34 seconds in the first round with pilot Winn Cui and then whittled that time down to 27 seconds with Allen Cao piloting during finals. n Two local residents were named to the dean’s list for Spring 2011 semester at The Johns Hopkins University. To be selected for this honor, a student must earn a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale in a program of at least 14 credits with at least 12 graded credits. They are: • Michael Brown, son of Cory Brown and Lorna Alksne. He attended La Jolla High School and is majoring in mechanical engineering. • Matthew Mulligan, son of Michael and Barbara Mulligan, majored in economics and graduated in May 2011. He attended La Jolla Country Day School.

UCSD team finds autism link to brain overgrowth American Medical Society (JAMA). News release at bit. ly/thup3F.
Research Report By Lynne Friedmann A study by researchers at the UC San Diego Autism Center of Excellence shows that brain overgrowth in boys with autism involves an abnormal, excess number of neurons in areas of the brain associated with social, communication, and cognitive development. Relying on meticulous, direct cell counting, scientists discovered a 67 percent excess of cortical cells — a type of brain cell only made before birth — in children with autism. The findings suggest that the disorder may arise from prenatal processes gone awry and confirms a relatively recent theory about possible causes of autism. Small head circumference at birth, followed by a sudden and excessive increase in head circumference during the first year of life, was first linked to development of autism in 2003. The current study is published in the Journal of the
Forecasting solar power production The space shuttle program may have ended, but data collected by astronauts during the past three decades is still helping advance science, this time with the assistance of the Triton Resource, a supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. For example, researchers at UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering recently used measurements from NASA’s Shuttle Radar Topography Mission to predict how changes in elevation, such as hills and valleys, and the shadows they create, impact power output in California’s solar grid. Heretofore, large-scale models used to calculate solar power output did not take elevation into account. The researchers used 60,000 processor hours to run calculations on Triton Resource to create a new model that includes detailed elevation data. The model is being made available publicly on a large scale, including all of Southern California, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area. Utility companies and homeowners can use the model to get a more realistic picture of the solar power output they can typically ex-
pect to produce. More information at bit.ly/sWcB4i. Pollution intensifies cyclones Pollution is making Arabian Sea cyclones more intense. Traditionally, prevailing wind shear patterns prohibit cyclones in the Arabian Sea from becoming major storms. A study, involving scientists at UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, suggests the weakening of winds aloft has enabled the formation of stronger cyclones in recent years — including storms in 2007 and 2010 that were the first recorded ever to enter the Gulf of Oman. The researchers note that the weakening wind pattern over the past 30 years has corresponded with a buildup of aerosols in the atmosphere over India. This aerosol buildup creates formations known as atmospheric brown clouds (ABCs) in which smog from diesel emissions, soot, and other by-products of biomass burning accumulate and become widespread to a degree significant enough to be a force in regional climate. More information at bit.ly/vB8blu. — Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

The Evans School students are all decked out in patriotic attire.
COURtESy phOtOS
Evans students salute veterans Students from The Evans School came on stage to sing and celebrate the “Red, White and Blue” during a special presentation on Nov. 8. Dressed in patriotic colors, they sang about our nation. For two months, the students have been learning about all aspects of American heritage; the patriotic program “God Bless America” was the culmination of these many assemblies. Veterans of several wars were in attendance and were recognized for their service with songs, such as “Thank you Military,” sung by Evans students. Each guest veteran was presented with a medal attached to a red, white and blue ribbon. Jerry Coleman, the well-known broadcaster for the San Diego Padres and a veteran of both WWII and Korea, was the master of ceremonies.
Evans student Katherine Brown presents a medal to Rear Adm. Eugene Farrell. Speakers included Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman, Marine Corps (Iraq), and Dr. Lester Tenney, a WW II veteran and Bataan Death March survivor.
FROM TEARDROP, A1 Nelson, adding they have raised about $39,000 to date. “We’re looking to get another $15,000,” he said. The Foundation board presented the idea of improving the ‘teardrop’ to La Jolla landscape architect Tony Crisafi, who offered to help. “We came up with the idea of using cobbles working with the city of San Diego’s Development Services Department and we want to get it done before the end of the year,” he said. Initially, the idea is just to “get things cleaned up … We’re just trying to get something started,” he said, adding that later people who want to can “do something more artistic and creative.” Cobbles, said Crisafi, were determined to be “the smoothest way to get the ripped-up plastic and sand and weeds out of there and something good looking in its place.” Rectangular-shaped cobbles being used typically pave crosswalks and are manufactured by Belgard Cambridge. “It should drain well and be easy to maintain,” Crisafi added. Meanwhile in an unrelat-
The Teardrop will get a facelift. Kathy Day ed project, the Urban Corps of San Diego has been trimming oleanders and greenery along La Jolla Parkway as part of a $300,000 contract with the Street Division, funded by the city’s general fund, for weed abatement. The work was made in response to requests from Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office, according to her spokeswoman Jennifer Davies. The idea of the teardrop project has the support of at least a couple of community leaders who have said in the past the area needed help. “It’s certainly something I think about when I either leave or come into the com-
munity as La Jolla Parkway is the grand entrance to La Jolla,” said Joe LaCava, a La Jolla Community Planning Association trustee and former chair. Noting the ocean view on La Jolla Parkway coming off I-5 and Highway 52 is “full of weeds and trash and looks very unkempt,” he said that “speaks to what we think of our community.” He said the challenge of doing improvement work on the parkway is complicated by the fact that it’s cityowned land, is on a highspeed road and is a main thoroughfare into town. “It’s very tricky,” he said. “There’s so much traffic there.” Joe Dicks, a past president of La Jolla Shores Association, said he was “favorably impressed” with the plans he’s seen for improving the teardrop. “The decorative cobbles they’re using will give it a finished look,” he said. “It’s a significant improvement, and it will help cut down on the trash along that roadway.” Anyone with questions or wishing to contribute can contact Trudy Armstrong at trudy@sdfoundation.org or (858) 674-6979.

FROM PARKING, A1 from one of the university’s de facto student parking lots on La Jolla Scenic Drive North. “It’s really convenient and it’s free,” she said. It isn’t just that on-campus parking’s expensive, said the theater major. It’s that there’s not enough of the right kind. n Out of balance “There are very few spots for undergraduate students,” she said. “There’s lots more parking for graduate students and faculty: The population doesn’t match.” Asked if students parking in her Poole Street neighborhood a couple blocks from the campus is a problem, Jean Selzer answered: “They overwhelm us. Students park everywhere. We’ve had people blocking our driveway.” On her street, one side has a two-hour parking limit; the other side has none. Selzer said neighbors concur something should be done to limit students from parking in the neighborhood off La Jolla Shores Drive. But she said their previous request to the city to change curb striping to ease the situation was rejected.
Fast Facts In the city’s residential permit parking districts: • On-street parking is prohibited during certain hours, except for vehicles displaying valid permits. The non-refundable $14 permit cost is reduced to $7 for each permit during the last six months of the permit year. • Temporary, two-week permits are available to Residential Permit holders for $3.50 each. • A petition form to begin the process of creating a permit district is available through the city’s Traffic Engineering Division at (619) 533-3126. • Petitions must be circulated among residents in the petitioning neighborhood and signatures from at least 50 percent of residents in affected areas is required. Only residents may sign not property managers or absentee property owners. • The city will conduct a parking survey to evaluate neighborhood impacts. • The final decision on establishment of a district is made by the City Council. • The entire process to establish a residential permit district takes approximately one year. “They said there just wasn’t enough parking for the students.” Another Poole Street resident, Laurie Phillips, said a student once rapped on her door early one morning to inquire as to when she was moving her car from in front of her home so that she could “have her parking spot.” Selzer, however, thinks there could be a relatively simple answer. n Follow SDSU’s lead? “We could do something
like San Diego State University (area) residents have, where they’ve got permits and won’t be ticketed,” she said. The impact of student parking was discussed at the October and November meetings of the La Jolla Shores Association, the neighborhood’s community advisory group. On Nov. 9, UCSD transportation officials detailed the campus parking picture, answering questions and attempting to explain funding and transportation issues
Many UCSD students park along Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, near The Salk Institute and Torrey Pines Gliderport. DAVE SCHWAB and their complexity. Brad Werdick, UCSD’s physical planning director, said campus parking and regional traffic circulation are linked, noting three planned transportation improvements — the I-5/Genessee interchange, the long-term I-5 widening from La Jolla north to Oceanside and the extension of the trolley from Old town to UCSD campus by 2018— will relieve campus congestion long-term but not anytime soon. “The trolley has been a big game-changer for SDSU reducing 1,500 to 2,000 student parking permits,” he noted.
n Pay as you go Assistant vice chancellor Russell Thackston said state law requires the university’s parking and transportation division to be self-supporting. “We have to generate enough money to pay for all the things we do in parking and alternate transportation,” he said, adding UCSD spends millions annually on shuttle services conveying students from parking areas to class. But Thackston was quick to point out building new parking structures isn’t an easy — or inexpensive — solution. “A parking structure costs $25,000 per parking space
— it’s very expensive,” he said, noting that the state budget crisis and continuing higher-education cuts are making the parking problems much more difficult to resolve. Some Shores association board members questioned whether the university isn’t creating some of its own parking problems. “How many student parking spaces have been lost (to campus development) in the last 10 years?” asked Tim Lucas. “Four hundred to 500 — 18 percent are gone,” answered Werdick. “It seems interesting that you can build parking garages for $25,000 per space, but it doesn’t cost you anything to take away hundreds of spaces at a time,” Lucas replied. Board member Debra Rappaport-Rosen suggested the problem of student parking in nearby neighborhoods won’t be resolved “until there’s two-hour parking all around the university.” Milt Phegley, campus community planner, said public reaction and questions about university policy concerning parking will be compiled and the university will come to a future meeting with responses.

Getting a handle on trees
Heard & Not Seen You may think hearing aids are still clunky, embarrassing objects that shout to the world, “Hey everybody! Something’s wrong with me!” That’s about to change.
The Invisible In Canal (IIC) is virtually undetectable! Breaking News
At a recent gathering of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), scientists revealed a hearing aid microchip processor so small that it can fit inside a hearing aid shell custom formed to your ear canal to fit right next to the ear drum. It sits so deep in the canal that it ends where other hearing aids begin. And that makes it completely undetectable to anyone else. In fact, we like to say it’s “invisible.”

It also supports the undisputed world-leading feedback cancellation technology. This means the annoying whistling and buzzing your uncle’s old hearing aids used to make is a thing of the past. In addition, the positioning of the hearing aid beyond the second bend in the ear canal is meant to work with the ear’s natural acoustics to deliver more precise and natural sound—and resolve that pluggedup or head-in-a-barrel sensation (a complaint of many hearing aid wearers).

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS My Sister’s Closet enters resale scene A new upscale consignment store, My Sister’s Closet, has made a new home near La Jolla. “It’s beautiful, with the women’s and men’s stores under one roof, and it’s big, 9,600 square feet,” said Carol Weinstein, store manager of the shop that celebrated its grand opening Oct. 27 in the Costa Verde Shopping Center at 8610 Genesee, Suite 200. On its website, www.mysisterscloset.com, the Phoenix-based chain says it was motivated to change the age-old image of resale stores from “the three Ds — dark, dirty and dingy — to the three Cs — cute, clean and current.” Weinstein said the store also has an attractive payment policy for consigners. “They get 45 percent of the selling price in cash or 55 percent of it to use as store trade or credit, not only in the San Diego store but for purchasing things on our website or visiting stores in Phoenix or Scottsdale,” Weinstein said. My Sister’s Closet carries a number of designer lines, including Armani,
My Sister’s Closet is located in University City at 8610 Genesse. Hugo Boss, Tommy Bahama, Channel, Gucci, Luis Vitton, etc. Though the ambiance of resale is changing, the reason why people shop there hasn’t. “Everybody’s looking for a bargain, especially today,” said Weinstein, adding the consignment shop has strict standards on items sold. “We look for things no more than 4 or 5 years old with a minimum retail of $40 to $50, always in really
good condition,” she said. And there’s no “expiration date” on consigner’s accounts. “The money in your account stays there until you use it,” said Weinstein. Store hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call My Sister’s Closet in UTC at (858) 455-0045.
Madison Gallery welcomes ‘Minimal Thought’ exhibition “Minimal Thought,” an exhibition that features works of art by artists Richard Roblin and Lori Cozen-Geller is an exhibit from Nov. 5 to Dec. 31 at Madison Gallery. The title of this exhibition is a mockery of the misconception that abstract and minimalistic artwork is not thought provoking. On the contrary both artists in this exhibition express spiritual and personal elements within all their pieces. The show is a highlight of works by Canadian artist, Richard Roblin, to celebrate more than 50 years of exhibition and accomplishment. Roblin has been exhibited internationally in cities including New York, London, and Montreal. His works have been exhibited in major museums including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the
Montreal Museum of Fine Art. The eclectic collection of paintings is from a few different series of Roblin’s new and older works but emphasize the importance of color and texture. Many of his paintings are carvings on canvas that Roblin has created with a palette knife. These raw paintings are carefully curated with Lori CozenGeller’s slick and spotless architectural installations. CozenGeller creates minimalistic wallmounted sculptures that are created from wood with polished automobile paint. Her work has been critiqued by art critic, Peter Frank, and can be seen at the Ventura Art Museum. Contact at info@madisongalleries.com or (858) 459-0836 to attend the event with artists, Cozen-Geller and Roblin from 6-9 p.m. on Nov. 19.

Gen-Probe wins Otterson award CONNECT has announced that GenProbe’s Procelix blood screening assay will receive this year’s William W. Otterson Award. In memory of CONNECT’s founder and first executive director, Bill Otterson — who was a La Jolla resident — the award is one of the highest honors given to technologies and products developed in San Diego that have demonstrated a significant impact on society worldwide. Approved in 2002, the product, initially designed to screen for HIV-1 and hepatitis C, was the first FDA-approved nucleic acid test for screening donated human blood. Since its release, the assay has been expanded to include hepatitis B. Gen-Probe also has developed a separate test for West Nile Virus. These assays have significantly increased the safety of the world’s supply of donated blood, reducing the risk of contracting these deadly viruses from a blood transfusion in the United States.

Since 1991 Brockton Villa Restaurant
n 1894 the first beach cottages were constructed along a formerly barren hillside above the La Jolla Cove. Outstanding among them was a house, built as a weekend retreat by Dr. Joseph Rodes, a San Diego physician, who purchased the prime oceanfront site for $165. This house would later become Brockton Villa Restaurant. After Dr. Rodes’ death in 1896, the house was taken over by two sisters, Olivia Mudgett and Nellie Mills, La Jolla’s first real estate agents, who rented it to vacationers. Pannikin Coffee and Cookery obtained the lease to this historic but somewhat dilapidated property in order to renovate it and adapt it for use as a restaurant. Pannikin founder Bob Sinclair had a strong commitment to preserving the community’s architectural heritage, and has renovated and adapted other buildings for several of its locations. 1991 marked the first year of operations for what is now a La Jolla tradition, Brockton Villa Restaurant. Megan (Lee) Heine, daughter of
the Pannikin family, took ownership of the Brockton Villa Restaurant in 1994. 2011 marked their 20th anniversary and they have currently sold over 655,000 of the signature “Coast Toast.”

Now that one-quarter of the school year has passed, parents and students are quite familiar with their teachers and know who’s good, bad, average or outstanding. In most cases, it doesn’t actually take one-fourth of the school year to find out. If the teachers have been employed for at least a few years, almost everyone knows before school starts. Teachers know who in their own ranks is stellar and who is weak. And students certainly know by talking to other students.
Parents by now can recognize their kids’ groans when they see their schedules and teachers. Because reputations are widely known, schools got wise and many don’t reveal the names of the teachers until the first day of classes. Having to deal with all the requests for schedule changes because students got the “bad” or the “hard” teacher became overwhelming. The obvious solution is to fire the “bad” teachers. But since union rules make this next to impossible, we as

Hospital parking switch created a mess
I’d like to thank Mr. Raffee for allowing me to clarify my previous letter printed on Oct. 13. My statement that he quoted saying that there is no evidence that the sharks’ movements are related to seal presence was specifically about white sharks in the La Jolla Cove area. I do not pretend to deny that adult white sharks feed on marine mammals including seals. However, the white sharks that enter this area are typically juveniles that feed on fish, and this is based on papers published in scientific journals. The change in their diet from primarily fish to one including marine mammals is actually accompanied by a transition to a completely different tooth shape from narrow pointy teeth to the more triangular serrated teeth. If adult white sharks were using this area as a feeding ground we would see many more seals and sea lions with major injuries. As to my credibility, I have published several peer-reviewed scientific papers on sharks and their close relatives, stingrays. I caution Mr. Raffee to heed his own advice, that simply stating something doesn’t make it true, and to extend this line of thought even to the Discovery Channel. To insinuate that a wild animal is a serial killer is utterly irresponsible and disingenuous. The study described in the article Mr. Raffee mentioned simply used similar statistical analyses to those used for criminals to look for patterns in shark feeding locations. It appears the drive for publicity caused their entertainment goals to outweigh their educational goals in sensationalizing the story, unfortunately this is not at all uncommon when it comes to sharks. There is no question that sharks are extremely talented and efficient predators, equipped with entire sensory systems that we can study but only imagine perceiving the world through. Sharks have been top ocean predators since 200 million years before dinosaurs appeared. The point is that human injury and fatality from shark interactions are extremely rare and that white sharks in particular are an endangered species. There is no need to feed La Jolla’s citizens full of irrational fears about sharks when, as I stated previously, drowning and skin cancer should be of far greater concern for beachgoers. L. Jordan-Smith, Ph.D. La JoLLa
On Nov. 7, there was a three-block backup to enter parking at Thornton-UCSD Hospital, together with a backup on exiting long enough to prevent those finally entering from reaching a parking space. The parking system had broken down to the extent of producing that most un-San Diego event — absence of mellow. Actually some were irate. All this is the consequence of the needless change from a system that worked just fine to the addition of parking tickets and barriers. In the first place both the barriers and machines broke down, so the final solution was to just leave the barriers up and hand out tickets by hand. One week before none of these problems existed. The parking system at Thornton was simple, obvious, democratic and it worked. Unlike other hospitals,where a new patient is faced with endless signs warning him where not to park, Thornton had a large, centralized space where within 60 seconds you were parked. Since the fee was modest nobody wasted hospital staff time trying to get some ticket validated. If it took no more than one minute to park; it took maybe three minutes to pay and exit. Millions of dollars in ads could not have achieved the results of this simple parking system, all undone by some bureaucrat who decided to install the ticket machines and barriers. Endless resentment parking, impossible to exit, and wasted time of staff validating the new, obnoxious tickets. Thornton needs to go back to square one where it was before the barriers.

As of Oct. 27, the 42,000 residents of the 92037 ZIP code, including the 29,069 who live within the 5,718 acre planning area, all moved from the Third Supervisorial District to the Fourth. The change happened as part of a mandated county-wide redistricting process that takes place each decade. Of course La Jolla is very familiar to me. Since arriving from Boston as a small child, I have lived in San Diego virtually my entire life, the only exception being when I was away at UC Berkeley getting a master’s degree in architecture. As you join the Fourth District, our shared boundaries now include a connection to the water that travels from your coastline to Ocean Beach and sweeps in to include Mission Bay. The district’s lines stretch south into City Heights and Encanto, encompass all of Downtown San Diego and run as far north as State Route 52 from where it intersects with Interstate 15. All told, our district’s 100 square miles include nearly 640,000 San Diegans. Among our landmarks are Mount Soledad, three universities, Balboa Park, Montgomery Field, a nice stretch of the San Diego River, the San Diego Zoo and Old Town. One of the most important projects I am working on is the extension of the San Diego Trolley from Old Town through the UC San Diego campus and ending at University Town Center. This $1.8 billion effort will create hundreds of jobs, transport thousands of people and play an important role in reducing air pollution. As a coastal community, La Jolla is keenly aware of the dangers of water pollution. I assure you that I will work hard to ensure funding is there for water testing, regardless of the state’s budget troubles. On Nov. 10 I had the pleasure of meeting with the members of the La Jolla Town Council. We talked about much of mutual interest and I look forward to returning.

Scripps researcher calls for sustainable fishing practices to maintain the health of coral reefs By chris PALmer Coral reefs have the capacity to bounce back from climate-related devastation, provided human beings do not hinder their recovery. This was the glimmer of hope offered up by Scripps Institute of Oceanography Assistant Professor Stuart Sandin to a near-capacity audience at Monday’s Jeffrey B. Graham “Perspectives on Ocean Science” lecture hosted by the Birch Aquarium. Sandin’s lecture, “Coral Reefs: Ecosystems in Decline,” the latest in the Perspectives’ series, in its tenth year, chronicled the marine ecologist’s travels around the world to assess the health of the notoriously fragile coral reef ecosystems. Sandin conducted the majority of his research in the remote Line Islands archipelago, located near the equator in the Central Pacific Ocean. Two of the Line Islands are inhabited while another two are not, making the archipelago a unique setting in which to study the impact of human activity on reef ecosystems. “We can study how the ecosystem structure changes with the presence of people, pri-
marily their fishing activity,” said Sandin. Not surprisingly, Sandin found that the coral reef surrounding the uninhabited islands was more robust. The reef also contained significantly more fish, and importantly, a much higher ratio of predators to prey. This is critical because predator fish maintain the numbers of smaller herbivorous prey fish at stable levels. Herbivorous fish nibble away at the roots of seaweed, which is the glue that holds coral reef together. When humans fish they tend to remove the large predator fish, resulting in a proliferation of herbivorous fish and setting of a chain reaction that culminates in a devastating degradation of coral reef. According to Sandin, climate change is compounding the impact of overfishing via a ratchet effect. “As you have one warm water event, corals die. They may start to regrow, but before they regrow enough, they get hit by another event and another, and what you see is less and less coral.” Sandin pointed to a promising case study illustrating the natural resilience of coral reef

stuart sandin ecosystems. In 2002 the Phoenix Islands became the largest protected marine area in the Pacific, with all fishing activity banned. Shortly afterwards, these islands were hit by a year-long El Niño event that raised water temperatures by a few degrees, resulting in losses of up to 90-percent of coral reef in some areas. Nearly a decade later, the devastated coral has almost grown back pre-2002 levels. “If given a chance, these corals do have a chance to bounce back.” “There is a balancing act between protection and use,” Sandin said of our need to fish in a way that is sustainable and that allows coral reefs to maintain their natural
resilience. To underscore this message, Sandin ended the lecture with a quote by the noted conservationist Aldo Leopold. “Health is the capacity of the land for self renewal. Conservation is our effort to understand and preserve this capacity.” Monday’s lecture will be available to watch online in two weeks on the UCSD-TV website, which currently hosts 10 years worth of previous ‘Perspectives’ lectures. The next lecture will be on Dec. 12 and will feature biological oceanographer Lisa A. Levin discussing deep-ocean ecosystems and the environmental and economic threats they face.
From Letters, A18 I’ve not heard of any public forum at the La Jolla Community Planning Association or the La Jolla Town Council. I can accept the art, but I ‘m not impressed with any of the renderings and they don’t speak well for the community. They are much like the “cows” that were sprinkled around La
Jolla and did not gain much public interest, let alone bids. I think the LJCF should stop its plans until the citizens have had a chance to review them. John Beaver La JoLLa Editor’s note: The foundation board does not make decisions on the artists but looks to a committee for recommendations.
Last week’s story includes a list of the art experts on the committee. See it at http://tinyurl com/876umtq Also, once selections are made, the board apprises La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance Committee about locations in advance of the work, although it is not required to do so as the murals are privately funded on private property and do not qualify as “signs.”
From educAtion, A19 year with a mediocre teacher may breathe a sigh of relief at the end of the school year, grateful the ordeal is over. The inclination is to put the whole dreadful experience behind them and move on. Since their kids are finished with those teachers, many figure there’s no point in complaining — or even praising for that matter. Your kids won’t have those teachers again, so why should you bother voicing your opinion? Well, you should, because other kids will have those teachers next year and the year after. And if administrators don’t get feedback from students and parents in real time, how do they know what’s going right and what’s going wrong? Granted, there isn’t a whole lot administrators can do with teachers of poor quality, given all the protections teachers have. Unless they commit some sort of
heinous crime, teachers with tenure really can’t be fired. But there are things that can be done, once administrators are made aware of problems. RateMyTeachers.com is one way to make yourself heard without exposing your or your child’s identity, or risking retribution. The infamous R-word, retribution, is what keeps so many parents silently fuming, bottling up feelings of helplessness and frustration. This site gives the silent majority a way to express their views without fear of harmful repercussions against their kids. Students have used the site for years. One might think that only negative comments are posted, but that’s not necessarily the case. True, many grumble about impossible instructors and warn future students to beware of teachers’ particular quirks, habits, preferences and styles.
But surprisingly, many of the comments and ratings are positive. Students often elaborate about outstanding teachers and provide hints and tips on how to get along with the difficult ones. Yes, there are vindictive comments from some kids who give teachers a poor rating for petty reasons. But by and large, the comments feel real. Sometimes charitable kids will say they didn’t like a teacher personally but that the teacher was quite capable and fair — that it was their problem and not the teacher’s for not acing the course. Insightful comments pepper the site, and the great teachers — those who really know how to transform the learning experience and make education exciting and life-changing — are duly recognized by students who are generous with their adoration for those gems in public education who devote their lives to our kids.
city news service A UCSD physician who conducted a 40-year study that uncovered cardiovascular disease risk factors won a major research prize, the American Heart Association announced. Dr. Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, who has headed the Rancho Bernardo Heart and Chronic Disease Study for four decades, received the association’s 2011 Population Research Prize. Her research has resulted in a steady flow of studies identifying causes of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis, said Dr. Gordon F. Tomaselli, president of the AHA. “Her voluminous findings have had an enormous positive impact on medical practice, probably more than those of any other population scientist,’’ Tomaselli said. “Landmark studies led by her have affirmed the risks associated with elevated blood fats, obesity and cigarette smoking and found that diabetes poses a greater threat to women than to men.’’ Barrett-Connor, a member of the UCSD medical faculty since 1970 and chief of its Division of Epidemiology, led the largest cardiovascular disease prevention trial ever conducted in women who had cardiovascular disease or diabetes, according to the AHA. Her Rancho Bernardo project has put more than 6,000 residents of the northern San Diego suburb through physical examinations of three to four hours since 1972 and included later follow ups with the subjects. More than 400 scientific papers have been based on the data. Barrett-Connor was presented with the AHA award on Sunday at a conference in Orange County.

LJYB to participate in historic partnership with Padres By Tom murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball Last week the San Diego Padres unveiled their new uniform design and logos for the 2012 season. In addition, the Padres also announced that approximately 10,000 youth baseball players from districts closest to Petco Park will be wearing Padres jerseys for the 2012 season as part of the club’s ongoing effort to support youth baseball. This program is a first in Major League Baseball and LJYB is the only PONY district included in this historic partnership. “While there has been a lot of talk about our new uniforms, we are even more excited and proud to announce the next step in our support of youth baseball in San Diego,” said Tom Garfinkel, President & COO of the Padres and a La Jolla resident. “This is a great chance for us to partner with the local baseball districts, showcase our team’s history and build upon the emotional connection between the team and the San Diego community.” The Padres have deep roots in La Jolla dating back to owners C. Arnholt Smith and Ray Kroc, General Managers Buzzy Bavasi, Ballard Smith and Kevin Towers, and present CEO Jeff Moorad — all residents of La Jolla. The Padres have
been long-time supporters of La Jolla Youth Baseball as evidenced by the Little Padres Park where the Shetland and Pinto teams play. For the 2012 season, all 44 LJYB teams in five divisions will be sporting authentic MLB Padres’ jerseys by Majestic that represent current and vintage eras going back to the 1948 PCL Padres. In all, there are 26 uniform designs, many of which incorporate the memorable brown, yellow, and orange colors that conjure up memories of Nate Colbert, Ollie Brown, Clay Kirby, Dave Winfield, Ozzie Smith and of course Tony Gwynn. LJYB President Jim Benham added, “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our 60th Anniversary than having all the kids wear classic San Diego Padres uniforms. We can’t thank the Padres enough for their vision and generosity. Our kids will wear these uniforms for years to come.” Imagine Opening Day on March 3, 2012 when the 1984 Road jersey (chocolate brown) takes the field with the original 1969 Home jersey in cream, or the 1972 Home jersey (who can forget that yellow uniform?) facing the classic blue pinstripes of the 1998 Padres. There will be a cornucopia of color and style at each and every game on the

In keeping with tradition, all LJYB teams will retain local sponsors from throughout the community
and a custom patch designed for each sponsor will be worn on the right sleeve of every uniform. Thanks again to the San Diego Padres for stepping up — yet again — on behalf of youth baseball in our community. n Reminder to LJYB Families: Online registration is open at www. LJYB.org

Sailing ace JJ Fetter has the eye of the wind at helm of special events
JJ Fetter
JJ Fetter is a native La Jollan who attended La Jolla Elementary and Bishop’s schools. She started sailing at age 7 in the junior program at the San Diego Yacht Club. Since then, JJ has won three world championships and is the only American female to have won two Olympic medals in sailing (Bronze in 1992 and Silver
in 2000). JJ has been named Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year four times, and last year she was inducted into the Hall of Fame at the San Diego Hall of Champions. In 1995, she was the tactician and starting helmsman for the America3 Women’s America’s Cup team. Nowadays, JJ is the event coordinator for SEA SD (Sailing Events Association San Diego)

or take university classes there — it is all being done purely for the sake of art. The house, modeled after a real home in Providence, Rhode Island and built by artist Do-Ho Suh, is the 18th and latest edition to the 30-yearold Stuart ‘Fallen star’ Collection of artist Do-Ho site specific suh sculptures that dot the UCSD campus. It is the most complex project to date. The work is called “Fallen Star,” and the name is meant to convey the notion that the little house was uprooted
by some natural or supernatural force or disaster (perhaps a tornado), whirled through the air, and dropped to rest on the top of the stern and modern Jacobs Engineering Building. It’s a lot like Dorothy’s house in the movie “The Wizard Oz,” Collection which was director spun all the Mary Beebe way from Kansas to Munchkin City in the merry old land of Oz. The artist, Do-Ho Suh, was born in Korea and earned a B.F.A. and M.F.A. from Seoul National University. He received additional training in
America at the Rhode Island School of Design and Yale University. He says “Fallen House” is about “displacement” — his personal experience of being uprooted and displaced from Korea to America, and on a larger scale, how university students are displaced from their homes in communities all across the country and the world, and brought to the sometimes impersonal and highly competitive atmosphere of UCSD, where there is nothing like a “home” anywhere in sight. Suh’s “house” will be positioned dangling over the edge of the rooftop with the

What brought you to La Jolla? My parents, Tom and Jane Fetter, or I guess, technically, my mom’s obstetrician because I was born at Scripps. I’ve lived in La Jolla my entire life except for four years back at Yale and then several six-month stints in various parts of the world for the America’s Cup races — Perth, Australia in 1986-’87 and Auckland, New Zealand in 2000 and 2003.
La Jolla Cultural Partners
What makes this area special to you? I think La Jolla is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Thanks to all the sailboat racing I’ve done around the world, I’ve had a chance to sail in gorgeous places like Portofino, St. Tropez, Buzios, Sydney, Auckland — and I’m never disappointed by my hometown when I get back.
What might you improve in the area? I’d love to add sidewalks on all the streets — especially on the narrow, curvy streets up in the hills — so I could go for a walk without worrying about getting run over. Also, I’d replace several blocks (ideally one with a big
high-rise) with a large park that included an area for dogs. And I wish Bennett’s Nursery was still here or that Ace Hardware (my favorite store in La Jolla) was bigger and carried garden plants. What inspires you? I seem to be most inspired
these days by deadlines. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Could I have several private dinners with just one or two guests instead? Because I’d really like to talk with my great aunts, Lydia and Dodie, who were the first of my family to move to La Jolla in the 1930s. And I know it’s a cliché, but it would be really interesting to get the straight scoop from Jesus. The others on my list (in no particular order) would be Cleopatra, a Mayan high priest, Benjamin Franklin, Hillary Clinton and the Dalai Lama. It’s tempting to substitute George Clooney, Daniel Craig or Bradley Cooper, but it’s not worth the chance that they would be disappointing. What do you do for fun? I’m a single mom and I’ve been working so hard lately on two big projects (bringing these America’s Cup World Series races to San Diego this week, and on a cool sailing exhibit that’s going to open at the Hall of Champions in 2012) that the most fun I have is find-
ing time to walk my dog. I wish I had more time to sleep. Or to go sailing on my foiling moth dinghy, but that takes a solid day. What are your favorite movies of all time? “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” “The Princess Bride,” “Toy Story,” “The Hangover,” and the PG parts of almost all of Will Ferrell’s movies, except “Land of the Lost,” and the last couple ones. What is your mostprized possession? That would be the Cal 48 sailboat that has been in my family since I was 12. My daughters and I spend as much time as possible on it and have a great family trip to Catalina every August. Describe your greatest accomplishment. My two wonderful daughters, another cliché I know, but there’s nothing more amazing than being a parent. What is your motto? “Every path has its puddle,” but hopefully it’s small and you can jump over it or just put on rain boots and splash on through it.

Hutchins Consort: They’re not just fiddling around By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt The Hutchins Consort is an unusual assemblage of local musicians, all of whom play violins. The instruments are actually a family of eight violins, each one pitched a half-octave from the next, ranging from an 11-inch treble to a 7-foot contrabass, all created by a single violinmaker, the late Carleen Hutchins. Hutchins, who died two years ago at age 98, revolutionized the making of violins in the 1960s, and was rewarded with a Guggenheim Fellowship and legions of fans and disciples. In her long lifetime, she built only six full sets of instruments, one of which is in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Two of them belong to the Hutchins Consort, founded in 1999 by Joe McNalley, who first fell in love with one of Hutchins’ contrabass violins when he was a music student at UCSD and Hutchins was keynote speaker at the 1983 convention of the Acoustical Society of America in San Diego. McNalley, who has had a long and varied career in jazz and orchestral music, said he immediately “got hooked on the instrument.” “I tried to design one myself, but I couldn’t figure out 2011 NINE-TEN LJ Light the physics,” he said.
the Hutchins Consort will mix traditional baroque music with real-time computer animation and a world premiere at their nov. 19 concert. Courtesy
“Dr. Hutchins gave me lessons over the phone, and we talked about getting a group together.” It wasn’t until 1998 that McNalley’s group coalesced, and bought a set of violins from Hutchins. The following year, they gave their first public concert, and they’ve been going strong ever since. An added blessing: the violinmaker left them another set when she died. McNalley, the Consort’s artistic director, does most of the octet’s arrangements, about 200 of the 250 pieces in their repertoire. It takes a pool of 18 musicians to make an octet, and ultimately the plan is to have a whole string orchestra. “It would be the first orchestra since the French kings with all instruments by the same maker,” said McNalley. That would put Thanksgiving Ad 11-3 and 11-17.pdf Hutchins on a par with the
great 17th century luthier, Nicolo Amati. In performance, besides their high level of musical talent, the Consort also displays a wacky sense of humor. “I always thought classical music should be more fun,” McNalley said. “After all, we have fun doing it. We take the music seriously, but not ourselves.” If you’ve never seen them at play, their upcoming concert at the Neurosciences Institute would be a great time to start. They’re featuring Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons,” not exactly an unusual choice. But the piece will include “Spontaneous Fantasia,” a live video show by multimedia artist JWalt who will be creating real-time computer animation to accompany the music. The Consort will add some of their own improvi10/28/2011 9:25:52 AM sations, in true baroque tra-
dition, and a few non-traditional instruments, like accordion and guitar. Also on the program is Bach’s “Concerto in E Major.” And for something completely different, there’s a world premiere: Jeff Harrington’s “Song of R’lyeh,”
which mixes microtonal music with rock-and-roll rhythms in a work inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, grandmaster of cosmic horror stories. R’lyeh is a lost underwater city where an evil deity is imprisoned in one of Lovecraft’s weird tales. McNalley said he met the Mississippi-born composer, who now lives in France, on Facebook. “I asked him if he’d be interested in writing something for the Consort, and three weeks later, the piece arrived! He uses an extended scale to evoke a weird, alien world. And he actually lived in a Brooklyn building that Lovecraft once lived in!” This month, after a successful East Coast tour, the

LA JOLLA LIGHT - NOVEMBER 17, 2011 - Page B7
Sorry, Cymbalta, you can’t help
Let Inga tell you ... It has not escaped my attention that all of my favorite TV shows are sponsored by antidepressants. Except, of course, for the ones advertising clinical trials for antidepressants. I find this very depressing. You’ll recognize the tag line (or then, maybe you won’t) for the most popular ad: Cymbalta Can Help. I am not in any way attempting to minimize the seriousness of depression as I come from a long line of OCD packrats and chronic anxious wrecks. I’ve personally tended to embrace the chronic anxiouswreck side of the family (there’s only so much mental illness one person can accommodate at a time) for which it is entirely possible that Cymbalta could help. But I can never get past that chirpy little aside at the end: “Liver problems, some fatal, have occurred.” I just think they say that waaaay too casually. I’ve spent considerable time trying to decide what all this Cymbalta advertising means and am down to three conclusions: 1) People who watch this show are depressed and need Cymbalta. 2) People who watch this show SHOULD be depressed and start taking Cymbalta.
3) People who watch this show will become depressed simply from watching it, and should take Cymbalta before they harm someone. Seriously, is the mere preference for the shows that I watch diagnostic? If so, I’m going to be not only depressed, but peevish. Abilify, another mega-advertiser whose ad I’ve seen more times than I will ever admit, is not even an antidepressant but a booster to your already-not-working antidepressant. Now is that depressing or what? But there is one promising part of their ad: “Elderly dementia patients taking Abilify have an increased risk of death.” Without sounding like Dr. Kevorkian, my kids know I have a profound fear of ending up a dementia patient. So maybe I need to add this to my health directive. Kids: Stock up on Abilify for offlabel use! My husband, Olof, likes to give the illusion of interest in my TV-watching habits with the collective query, “So is Desperate Anatomy on tonight?” Or alternatively, “So what’s Dr. Yummy up to?” “McDreamy, dear,” I say. I really don’t think he’s trying to keep up at all. But he does point out that there are no antidepressant commercials on Junk Yard Wars, Myth Busters, or Monday Night Football. It’s only getting worse. Now the antidepressant ads are interspersed with Lyrica ads for fibromyalgia. Like I don’t have enough problems with my WE-TV-induced depression?
I also have to confess that the Lyrica ads annoy me to death (a serious side effect), particularly the lead line where the happy Lyrica patient says, “I found out that connected to our muscles are nerves.” Was the fibromyalgia caused by her lobotomy? What’s starting to really worry me is that these commercials have now insidiously seeped down from women-oriented cable channels and wantonly infiltrated major networks where one used to be able to watch free of antidepressant assault. Surely, I think to myself, there must be a less risky cure for TV-induced depression than Cymbalta? Like watch PBS? I won’t say that I wouldn’t like to be less anxious. (I can assure you my husband wouldn’t mind my being less anxious.) To worry less, to not always feel that catastrophe is just around the corner. To be able crank down my over-amped system a new notches. But then, at this stage of my life, I think it’s so much part of me that it would make me nervous not to be anxious. Alternatively, I can maybe find out where the Lyrica lady got her lobotomy. Sorry, Cymbalta. I don’t think you can help. So leave me alone already and let me watch my shows in peace. Or else. Because I’m your demographic and you should know better than to mess with me. — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life every other week in La Jolla Light.

Ocean views and a new menu delight diners at The Shores By DANIEL K. LEW iving in paradise has its advantages and one of them is the opportunity to frequent The Shores Restaurant — a beachfront restaurant in the truest sense. Sandy beaches and waves reaching the shore are steps outside its picturesque location at La Jolla Shores Hotel. Though located inside La Jolla Shores’ Spanish-style hotel, open since 1970, the restaurant bills itself as a “neighborhood American” eatery. Comfort food is served gourmet style with local ingredients and seasonal menus by Executive Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef de Cuisine Amy DiBiase. DiBiase joined the restaurant in late summer, and since then, she and Guillas have developed a new menu that “brings out the cuisine” at The Shores Restaurant to give the establishment its own experience, said Guillas, who is also executive chef at the acclaimed Marine Room located next door at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. A lighter and healthier approach on some of the new dishes brings out the flavor of the ingredients, said Guillas and DiBiase, who both have a love for farmers markets and keep in touch with local suppliers for seasonal crops and the latest catch. The number of items on the menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a la carte Sunday brunch have been simplified, ensuring the kitchen staff maintains consistency in preparation and presentation. For instance, the dinner menu has been reduced to seven appetizers and eight main courses, while still covering its bases. “But it’s not a small menu because we

Three Citrus Cured Sea Trout is one of the Sip & Savor starters. Photos by Daniel K. lew have also created a Sip & Savor menu that changes every month, and it has been so well received,” Guillas said. November’s Sip & Savor menu, called “Autumn Treasures,” is a three-course dinner for $30, or $45 with wine pairing, available nightly. First-course choices are Three Citrus Cured Sea Trout, Farmers Market Rutabaga and Ginger Soup, or King Oyster Mushroom Baklava. Second-course options are Sangiovese Braised Meyer Ranch Short Rib, Seared Albacore Niçoise, or Preserved Fruit Stuffed Pheasant Breast. Dessert is a Three Tastes Platter with Hazelnut Pot de Crème, Gingerbread Donut, and Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream. In particular, the gourmet Gingerbread Donut is extra tasty without being too sweet or overly decadent. Among the new appetizers, Steamed Carlsbad Black Mussels (with fennel, leek and Italian salsa verde) is a top seller. “The Black Mussels are to die for; this is a really good dish. It sells like crazy for lunch,
■ The Shores’ Barbecued Short Rib with Stuffed Portobello Mushroom dinner and in the bar,” Guillas said. Upon arriving at one’s table, the heaping stack of large, local mussels appeals to the senses with its big aroma from the Italian Salsa Verde topping, made of garlic and a wide variety of fresh herbs, orange zest and extra virgin olive oil. A touch of white wine is also added to the broth. Guillas also recommends the Farmers Market Roasted Beet Salad, and Natural Beef Carpaccio. For entrees, some of the most popular items are Parsley Leek Crusted Butterfish, Aromatic Vegetable and Fish Stew, 1855 Angus New York Steak or Filet Mignon, and Oil Cured Black Olive Braised Lamb Shank. If undecided on picking an entree, the Crispy Skin Salmon (served with crème fraiche, Brussels sprouts, and pinenut Parmesan froth), is highly recommended. The salmon skin is light and crunchy; the filet is flavorful without being overpowered by its spice rub, but the pleasant surprise is the accompanying Brussels sprouts, cooked
Three Tastes dessert platter with Hazelnut Pot de Crème, Gingerbread Donut, and Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream with garlic and shallots. “Amy makes the best Brussels sprouts; when you taste them, it’s just wow,” Guillas said. DiBiase added that many guests have requested her recipe, which has changed the mind of a few who previously disliked the vegetable. “They’re cooked quickly, unlike the usual mushy kind people are used to eating,” DiBiase said. The lunch menu includes salads, burgers, sandwiches and wraps, along with five entree choices, like a gourmet macaroni and cheese, Humboldt Fog Macaroni Gratin, which some find big enough to share. Even with a new menu, the neighborhood restaurant has kept a popular sandwich named after a La Jolla Shores resident and longtime restaurant patron: Judge Harelson’s Tuna Salad Sandwich (with Boston lettuce, apples and walnuts on wheat bread). “So many people love it; that’s one of the items we could never get rid of,” Guillas said. For the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day buffets will be served.

Cosmopolitan Fine Arts host Sally Jordan Plein Air reception Cosmopolitan Fine Arts celebrates the return of internationally & nationally recognized artist Sally Jordan for a one night exhibition and live painting demonstration! The gallery will be debuting a fresh collection of Plein Air paintings which represent the highest in aesthetic innovation. En Plein air or “open air” painting began with the Romantics in 1789 and became popularized with the Impressionists whose search for authenticity accorded particular value to spontaneous sketching from nature. Taking her cue from the Romantics and Impressionists, Sally Jordan paints "ala prima" masterfully creating a scene with quick expressive and colorful brush strokes. The charm of her classic landscape painting combined with the energy of her gesture-like brush strokes and the magic of capturing light in shadows remains the hallmark of Sally’s artistic style. She excels at this masterful combination of light and color, while relating it to her picturesque surroundings that resonate with so many collectors and art enthusiast worldwide. Like many painters before her, the spectacular scenery of the coastlines of California has attracted Sally from a young age. She was particularity drawn to the tonal qualities of light reflecting off the water and the fleeting phenomenal sunsets that cast magnificent golden hues on the water and landscapes. From the dramatic plunging coastline of Big Sur, to the sandy beaches of Catalina, to La Jolla’s emerald colored cove, some of the most important landmarks in California have been immortalized in Sally Jordan’s paintings.

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus honors its 2011 Arts Angel
G
uests of the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus gathered for a fundraiser that kicked off the 2011-12 season on Oct. 15 at the Del Mar Marriott. The evening began with a hosted reception, silent auction and opportunity drawing for an “Instant Wine Cellar.” Guests then adjourned to the ballroom for dinner, to the accompaniment of the La Jolla Strings. During the dinner hour, Music Director Steven Schick paid tribute to performing arts advocate Charlene Baldridge, who was honored as LJS&C’s “Arts Angel 2011” for her 30-plus years of service to the arts community. Dinner was followed by a live auction, emceed by Joe Bauer, before guests danced the night away to the swinging sounds of Big Band Express. Photos by Dave siccarDi

www.lajollalight.com FROM FALLEN STAR, B1 floor set at an angle. It will be a startling and odd sight seen from afar. Art viewers brave enough will actually be able to go up to a rooftop garden to ponder the house and the grand views of the campus and surrounding communities. Suh says he likes the marriage of the two diverse architectural traditions of the house and the building, “I like the idea that the art becomes an actual part of the architecture.” The project, directed by Mary Beebe and managed by Mathieu Gregoire, was funded from private donations, as well as a $90,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Not a penny of university money was used to build the design. Suh, who divides his time between Seoul and New York City, is a highly sensitive and intelligent master craftsman. He is a visionary who pays great attention to detail and thoroughness. Some of his other projects hang in places, like the Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles. They include a large cloth model of his traditional Korean home that can be transported in a suitcase; a samurai-like standing cloak statue made entirely of Korean army dog tags; and a monument and a floor piece held up by

thousands of tiny figurines with faces created from a composite of all the faces from his graduating class. Suh’s greatness seems to be his ability to take the artifacts from a personal experience and craft them into an art project that has a universal appeal. Beebe con-
curs, stating that, “ ‘Fallen Star’ was built to create a memorable experience for everyone to think about.” If you can muster the nerve to enter the house, which is more than half way over the edge of the rooftop, you will no doubt have a breathtaking experience!

Casa de Mañana hosts lunch for first responders Last year the staff and residents of Casa de Mañana held a Thank You Lunch for the La Jolla firemen, paramedics, and lifeguards from Stations No. 13, No. 9, and the Children’s Pool Tower. It was so successful, Casa de Mañana decided to make it an annual event, stating, “First responders don’t expect a thank you, but it is well deserved. They are the emergency personnel we count on every day to be there when we need them most and they show up 24/7 when every minute counts. Their service to our community is priceless.” The second annual event took place on Nov. 7 in Casa de Mañana’s oceanview dining room at 849 Coast Blvd. — Catherine Sevier

Eve Selis concert launches her ‘Family Tree’ album San Diego recording artist Eve Selis rocked the house at MCASD’s Sherwood Auditorium on Nov. 11, for the debut of her CD “Family Tree.” The sell-out crowd was treated to a first set of all 15 songs from the album and a second set with Sara Petite and Berkley Hart joining the fun. The first part of the show also featured Selis’s daughter, Sara De La Isla, singing backup on the song “Any Day,” her first live performance with her mom. Among the audience was Jessica Smith, a friend of Selis’s who is in remission from leukemia. Selis is dedicating part of the proceeds to Cancer Research UK, an organization she became involved with when she performed at Abbey Road Studios in London with Tom Jones earlier this year. Selis also paid tribute to producer Steve
Churchyard and executive producers John and Patty Conkle. The recording of the CD was financed entirely by fans of the Eve Selis band via the crowdfunding web sites Kickstarter and PledgeMusic. A video appeal on both sites asking everyone to be a part of her “record label” brought in donations from $10 to $10,000. This allowed Selis to not only record at Big Fish Studio with Grammy Award-winning producer Steve Churchyard, but to hire Albert Lee, described by Eric Clapton as “the greatest guitarist in the world.” She also brought in acclaimed sidemen, Dennis Caplinger on fiddle, mandolin, dobro and banjo, and Rick Schmidt on pedal steel guitar.

Matt Pawinski’s Eagle Scout project is boon to Kellogg Park A new pedestrian path from Vallecitos into Kellogg Park was completed on Oct. 7 by a team of Boy Scouts from Troop 271 working under the direction of Eagle Scout candidate Matthew Pawinski, a 17-year-old La Jolla resident and senior at High Tech High School. The Scouts spent the day clearing out thorny natal plum and overgrown vegetation, removing more than three yards of dirt, and relocating birds of paradise and fountain grass plants. They set the borders of the walkway, shoveled, spread and tamped down four tons of decomposed granite to complete the pathway. “My goal was to improve a place where I have come to play for over a decade,” Pawinski said. “Surfing is my passion and the ocean is my second home.” Pawinski worked with Mary Coakley Munk, president of the Friends of La Jolla Shores, and Dan Daneri, City of San Diego District Manager Parks and Recreation Department, to determine the best location and dimensions
Eddie Misleh cuts boards that will edge the pathway.
Taking a well-deserved break. Danny Machado, Alex Machado, Eddie Misleh, Kristoff Pawinski, Matthew Pawinski, Bradley Machado and Nicholas Misleh. PHOTOS BY MindY PawinSki for the path. “It’s a great project and Friends of La Jolla Shores is extremely pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Matthew,” Munk said. Originally, Pawinski presented an idea to build a three-dimensional bathymetry model of “The Map” of the La Jolla Shores Underwater Park and Ecological Reserves to the La Jolla Shores Association. (“The Map” helps park visitors learn about the underwater
canyons and fish that live just off the shoreline.) His idea received unanimous and enthusiastic support, but the project couldn’t be completed in time to meet the requirements for the Eagle Scout rank. The plan for the pathway was substituted. Pawinski plans to continue working on the bathymetry model as his senior-year project at High Tech High. Pawinski said he hopes that through-traffic will take
his alternate route path so “The Map” continues to be a clean, vibrant resource for everyone to enjoy. He added that another highlight of the project for him was meeting world-famous oceanographer Dr. Walter Munk and learning first-hand about his experiments that resulted in the ability to accurately predict waves. Troop 271 is chartered by Torrey Pines Christian Church. The Scouts meet on
Scouts clear brush to build a new entrance to Kellogg Park. Tuesday evenings at Stanley Middle School in University City. Troop 271 has a robust outdoor program with 49 Scouts and 46 registered adult volunteers, residing in
San Diego, from Bay Park to Carmel Mountain to La Jolla. The troop expects to have 10 Scouts reach the Eagle Rank in 2011. More at troop271.com
