Because Kindness Counts

La Jolla High teens launch club with compassion

By Ashley Mackin A group of students at La Jolla High School are hoping for a more peaceful and kind new year.

Through their club, Kindness Counts, they say they wish to set off a chain reaction of kindness and change the social climate at the school over time.

Now 20 members strong, Kindness Counts was founded by Madeleine Garay and Talia Chalhoub to foster a culture where bullying is not accepted.

The group placed positive messages throughout the school and are working with their younger counterparts at Muirlands Middle School to arrange for inspirational speakers and plan ways to improve “bully reporting.”

“We want to change the climate of our school to one where bullying is not accepted, so we thought we could start making a change,” said 15-year-old co-founder Garay. In honor of World Peace Day, Sept.

21, the club painted across the school’s senior benches (where seniors can paint messages for their friends’ birthdays or other celebrations) the query, “Who Will You Make Peace With?” They also hung inspirational banners and

posters with messages like “You can change someone’s life. Stand up to bullying” around campus.

Vice-principal Will Hawthorne said these posters would help with a cultural shift down the line.

“It takes time for these things to change, but it’s exciting to see how it is going to take hold,” he said.

“Every action the club is taking is all leading to cultural change.”

The club members want to start what Garay calls, “a chain reaction of kindness,” encouraging their fellow students to be nice to one another. “If you do something nice to someone, they might feel the need to be nice to others, too,” she said. “It can be tough to be nice to bullies or those who are not nice to you, but it could help them in the long run.”

She added that the opposite effect, a chain reaction of meanness, is what leads some bullies to lash out.

“The reason they might be bullying other people is because someone isn’t nice to them, so they feel the need to be mean to others, too,” she said. “By being nice to people, it can affect them in a positive way.”

Personally, she said, she will work

Kindness Counts club members Summer Broekema, Madeleine Garay, Talia Chalhoub, Sophia Bourne, Andrea Albanez and Julia Albanez at reaching out to people in the New Year. “I’m going to try to be nice and talk to people I don’t usually talk to, and put myself out there.”

n Hope for the future The group is also working with middle school students at Muirlands so they will have a better understanding of bullying and avoid the behavior (in younger years) before it starts. Some children, Garay said, don’t even know they are bullying each other at that age.

“Cyber-bullying is a really good example,” she said. “Some people

might think they are being funny or sarcastic — or they think no one will catch them online — but that can really hurt other people. (The recipients) don’t know if it’s a joke.

Cyber-bullies also can’t see people’s reactions, so they tend to be less empathetic.”

Garay said she hopes to instill the attitude that bullying is not acceptable by the time these students enter high school.

But for the students already at La Jolla High, Kindness Counts is planning speakers for both students and parents. Garay said

she is trying to get speakers from Rachel’s Challenge to come to the school early in the New Year.

Rachel’s Challenge is in honor of Rachel Joy Scott, the first student killed during the Columbine School shooting of 1999. In her memory, Scott’s father and brother tour schools to talk about spreading kindness.

“They talk about how being a good person can help others and even change lives,” Garay said.

They also hope to set up an anonymous reporting system for bullying.

“Some people feel a bit embarrassed by (being bullied) or they don’t want to get in trouble with the bully, so we’re thinking of leaving a box in the front office where people can drop off tips that we could check,” she said.

Vice-principal Hawthorne said the anonymous reporting has not yet been approved, but is still up for discussion. He added that it’s “refreshing” to see social change generated by young people.

“High school is hard enough, especially if you are not being treated properly, and any time any kid is not being treated properly, there’s a need for something like this.” u

Tower Tear Down: Old Children’s Pool lifeguard tower is removed to make way for a new one.

In Memory: Murray Galinson dies.

From Year In Review, A1

January n Hands-on Leadership: Fresh out of the gate, San Diego’s soon-to-be ex-mayor, Bob Filner, wasted no time asserting his authority at La Jolla Children’s Pool. In January alone, Filner extended the beach guideline rope to 152 feet, installed a webcam atop the old lifeguard tower to monitor harbor seals (and those who might harass them) and added temporary police surveillance to deter seal harassers — all seen as victories by marine mammal advocates, and an outrage by beach-access proponents. n ‘Peacemaker’ Remembered: La Jollans honored the memory of La Jolla philanthropist, attorney and law professor Murray Galinson (1937-2013), feted as a champion for the rights of women and minorities.

sidewalk seating along Prospect Street.

n Merchants’ Big Splash: The La Jolla Village Merchants Association opened the La Jolla Village Information Center at 1162 Prospect St. with high hopes and bare bones — nearly quadrupling rent the association paid at its former space on Herschel Avenue.

As the year progressed, the association sought to sell advertising on flat screen TVs and via window displays, though it never quite caught on. To pay rent, the association now subleases a majority of the space to Sotheby’s International Realty.

n Beach Brutality: The Seal Cam at Children’s Pool filmed two young women appearing to kick, punch and sit on seals during the night. The story was picked up by news outlets around the globe, sparking outrage over the alleged incident. The women were never located and some people later questioned the veracity of the footage, speculating that the incident could have been staged to garner support for the Seal Cam (whose operators, WAN Conservancy, La Jolla Light later learned requested $283,000 per year to operate the camera and monitor footage).

February n Bidding Adieu to an Era: La Vallencia’s iconic Whaling Bar (a preferred watering hole and place of intellectual discourse for the likes of Gregory Peck, Raymond Chandler and other high profile patrons) served its last snifter of cognac. The space is now in the final stages of a remodel, and will soon reopen as the expanded CafÊ La Rue, with

aesthetics, said LJSA chair Tim Lucas. AT&T and city representatives held a meeting at Cliffridge Park on Dec. 16 to gather community feedback.

Though in its conceptual phase, AT&T representatives said the tower would, “upgrade wireless service to the Cliffridge Park, La Jolla Heights and Torrey Pines Road areas.”

AT&T spokesperson Jamie Moore said the design and location are under development and staff is looking at different options.

“AT&T is engaged in ongoing discussions with the city and members of the community to explore alternatives,” she said.

“AT&T engineering teams are working on a proposed

design that will be presented to La Jolla Community Planning (Association) subcommittee meetings in late January. AT&T would like to have the site on-air by late 2014.”

There is currently a microtower for another cell phone company on the outer west side of the baseball diamond adjacent to the canyon at Cliffridge Park.

Pricing Your Property Determining price is the most critical step in preparing your home for sale. Pricing depends on the market conditions at the time your home is put up for sale. A correctly priced home usually sells quickly once it is put in the multiple listing service. When your home is priced right from the start, you maximize your opportunity to reach the most qualified buyers. A home receives its best exposure during the first three to five weeks on the market. Overpricing is risky.

Qualified buyers who might want your home, will not look at it for it is out of their price range. Agents will hesitate to show an overpriced home, unless it will make a competing property look like a better value. Generally, the price should not exceed the value by more than 5% or potential buyers may not even make offers. Your cost or profit desire is irrelevant; the market determines the price. A house that is priced right from the beginning will usually yield the seller the best proceeds.

If the extension were not granted, we would need to hold an emergency meeting.” n Princess Street public access: Lucas also took the opportunity to applaud beach access advocates Anthony Ciani and Melinda Merryweather for their efforts to get the Princess Street beach-access point reopened.

“It just shows you a) what you can do if you put your mind to it and put a lot of effort in and b) it takes a long time, so you have to pursue it.

UC San Diego’s recently rehabilitated chancellor residence (re-christened Geisel House) features breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Black’s Beach.

The entry of UCSD’s Audrey Geisel University House features an original octagonal tile feature made of encaustic tiles that was added by the home’s original owners in 1952.

Historic UCSD chancellor residence reopens after lengthy remodel Ruth Black, the Pueblo Revival-style home (also known as the William Black House) is a national, state and local historic landmark.

Ione Stiegler of IS Architecture, the lead architect on the rehabilitation, said she sought to preserve as much of the home’s historic integrity as possible. Wood beams, corbels and posts that had rotted throughout were replaced with historically accurate reconstructions.

The oak veneer flooring — one of the

earliest uses of wood veneer flooring Stiegler said she has encountered — has also been accurately reproduced.

Subtle modern upgrades, including light fixtures and hand-painted tiles, also were added, as well as two new ADA-accessible public restrooms.

An advisory group, consisting of members of the La Jolla Historical Society and Save Our Heritage Organisation, as well as representatives from UCSD, the University

of California system and Native American tribes, consulted on the project throughout the design and construction phases.

All inspection and review of the property was conducted by UCSD, which has its own building inspectors and fire marshals. “The university is considered its own review body, sort of parallel to the state,” Stiegler said.

Khosla will be the first chancellor to inhabit the residence since Chancellor Robert Dynes, who moved out after noticing the

The rear of UCSD’s Geisel House on La Jolla Farms Road features a 100-foot-long, 40-foot-tall retaining wall to secure the cliff. home’s deteriorating condition. Dynes commissioned a study on the property in 2004, after which it was deemed uninhabitable for health and safety reasons — including structural weaknesses, utility line problems and erosion of the cliff on which the home is situated.

Though she never lived in the house, UCSD’s previous chancellor, Marye Anne Fox, made the decision to move forward with the rehabilitation, helping raise much of the funding for it.

Stiegler said the original two-foot-thick exterior adobe walls were “incredibly solid” and crack-free in most areas.

However, interior cross-walls (load-bearing walls) were made of wood, and had to be replaced with those that could better carry

the weight of the house.

“It was like this long, heavy (adobe) snake around the perimeter that, if it got pushed with seismic forces, could have collapsed to the inside,” Stiegler said.

“The logs for the ceilings were just sitting on the walls … not tied in physically. In an (earthquake), they could have separated from the walls and the ceiling literally fallen in on the chancellor.”

All windows were replaced with safety glass, and a 100-foot-long, 40-foot tall retaining wall trenched into earth along the cliff to stabilize it.

Nativa Furniture sells timeless designs to last a lifetime

By Marti Gacioch Mario Scolari said he first dreamed about opening his own furniture store while working in his family’s business in Argentina. His dream came true five years ago when he opened Nativa Interiors in Solana Beach’s Cedros Design District. Four months ago, he opened his La Jolla store on Girard Avenue.

“We started out by offering rustic designs, then we refined them, and now our diverse furnishing styles are more eclectic with styles that range from traditional to modern,” Scolari said. “We tweak our traditional furniture styles by thinning down their shapes so that they’re not so ornate. We try to make things more organic and accommodate the 21st-century styles.”

Nativa’s furniture artisans are primarily California-based designers, who use only beautiful, high-quality solid hardwoods (including cherry, walnut and mahogany sourced in the United States) to handcraft pieces for every room of the home. Designs favor both Spanish and Mediterranean influences along transitional (made to last and never go out of style) lines.

Many of Nativa’s designers are known for their high-quality pieces. Nativa is the exclusive dealer of Texas-based American

Nativa Furniture displays two levels of artisan furniture, fabric and art in its showroom.

Leather sofa sleepers, considered to be the best premium-quality sofa sleeper made in the world, available in 2,000 different fabrics with prices ranging from $4,000 to $7,000.

“We also offer Norway’s Ekornes recliners, which is thought to be the best recliner available,” Scolari said.

In addition to furniture, Nativa showcases

the work of California and Baja artists in a variety of media, including paintings by Leticia Demeusse and Laura Verdu, as well as glass pieces by a Laguna Beach artist and the work of a Baja photographer.

“We make 80 percent of the things you see in our store in our own factory, which brings customers savings and value,” Scolari said.

This month shoppers can reap huge savings while Nativa is holding its end-ofyear clearance sale. All merchandise and furniture made in 2013 is now discounted 30 to 60 percent to make space for the 2014 collections arriving in early January. These pieces will offer 50 different finishes with new sofa designs in leather and fabric.

Beer festival names Rock Bottom ‘Brewpub Group of the Year’ n La Jolla brewer Marty Mendiola wins three medals From Rock Bottom Reports

Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery received top recognition at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in Denver, placing in four categories and receiving the prestigious title of “Brewpub Group and Brewpub Group Brewer of the Year.”

Brewer Marty Mendiola of Rock Bottom’s La Jolla location picked up one gold Marty and two bronze medals at Mendiola the competition.

“We’re thrilled to receive the title of ‘Brewpub Group of the Year’ for the second time in five years,” said Kevin Reed, director of brewing operations at Rock Bottom. “It was a team effort but Marty, who medaled

in an impressive three for three beers, certainly helped lead the way.”

Mendiola, a resident of San Diego, completed the beer program at UC Davis and worked as an assistant at the Walnut Brewery in Denver before returning to California to join Rock Bottom. He attributes his success to “brewing clean tasting beers that are true to the original style, while adding a little personal creativity.”

Since its inception, Rock Bottom has won more than 80 medals at GABF, eight of which were beers brewed by Mendiola. This year’s GABF winners for Rock Bottom were specialty beers brewed by local brewers with a local recipe: n Gold, Moonlight Porter (Robust Porter), brewed at Rock Bottom La Jolla n Silver, The Hammer (Baltic-Style Porter), brewed at Rock Bottom King of Prussia, Penn. n Bronze, Longboard Brown (English-style Brown Ale), brewed at Rock Bottom La Jolla

n Bronze, Ragtop Red (Irish-Style Red Ale), brewed at Rock Bottom La Jolla In addition to tasting Mendiola’s awardwinning beers, guests can try the brewery’s seasonal release Winter Tartan, a traditional Scottish ale with a smooth, malty flavor and a hint of vanilla, and enjoy a limited-time menu which includes: a Swiss Portobello Burger, Roasted Garlic Bone-In Ribeye and a Bleu Cheese Portobello Strip.

Make a New Year’s resolution to join in La Jolla governance

By Cindy Greatrex La Jolla Town Council President

A

s we begin a New Year and reflect on the past while envisioning the future, it is important that we truly define our wants and needs as La Jollans.

For this will determine our future as La Jollans.

It can be easy to presume that local government and civic organizations are cloistered in regard to governance. This is far from true. All such La Jolla groups are truly service organizations, as the premise is to serve constituents and to do so in a fair and democratic manner.

But democracy is not just for the people; it is of the people. If you look around La Jolla and think: “Why?” think instead “Why not?” and bring forth those questions and your proposed solutions. The power does not truly lie with elected officials but with you. Officials are the vehicles to change, but the change itself stems from the will and desire of residents.

We are fortunate as a society to have an array of public groups to serve our interests. I am honored to serve as president of the La Jolla Town Council, an organization chartered in 1950 to combine 37 disparate organizations and manage land use, as well as oversee community issues and opportunities. In this guise the town

guest commentary council has joint- and sub-committees, and liaise with other community associations covering a variety of important topics to all residents.

A great example of same is the La Jolla Community Planning Association. LJCPA has been recognized by the San Diego City Council to make recommendations to governmental agencies on the adoption of or amendment to a land use plan when such plan relates to the La Jolla Community Plan boundaries. You may believe that one would only come before LJCPA if there is personal need regarding your property or one adjacent. In fact, LJCPA is a membershipbased organization that holds monthly public meetings open to all.

By submitting an application and attending one meeting per year as a qualified applicant, your membership entitles you to vote on its trustees. This is an excellent way to contribute to La Jolla’s present and future leadership in land-use matters. As our topography is envied across the country, all of us need to be involved with its structure, maintenance and stewardship.

There is a platform for every resident of La Jolla. Besides Rotary and Kiwanis service organizations, and philanthropic groups such as Las Patronas and St. Germaine, civic organizations dot the La Jolla landscape and are often tied to specific geographies of interest.

Two such examples are the La Jolla Shores

Association and Bird Rock Community Council.

It is a fact that community enhancement best grows when it is seeded from within its borders.

Civic groups in La Jolla govern from the basis of Interactive Planning, and the very first step in any Policy Analysis Planning is to “verify, define and detail.” This by dint of its nature requires community input.

As a society, we affirm that good governance requires fair legal frameworks enforced by an impartial regulatory body, for the full protection of stakeholders. This concept centers on the responsibility of governments and governing bodies to meet the needs of the citizens. This said we must not lose sight of a fact originally brought forth in ancient Greece, namely that good government requires the involvement of every citizen.

For La Jolla’s good governance to be employed with efficacy, your involvement is both desired and necessary. Receive this letter as a New Year challenge. Attend one civic meeting in 2014 and hear from your elected leaders in a climate of openness.

And let your voice be heard as well. All civic groups offer public comment, so if you wish to speak on a topic of your interest, you already have a designated forum. Feel free to contact me at (858) 454-1444 with questions or e-mail president@lajollatowncouncil.org Along with my colleagues, I look forward to seeing and hearing from you soon. Have a joyous and prosperous New Year, La Jolla! u

Country Day students hold Philippine aid drive

W Most interior doors of the Geisel House are original, and were hand-carved on site by a master craftsman.

Photos by Pat Sherman

From UCSD House, A9 Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, incorporated his design philosophies into the home, one of which was the ability of the woman of the house to see the front gate from the kitchen, Stiegler said.

“He was also an early advocate of passive solar heating,” she said. “He (used) very large windows facing south to bring in a lot of natural light.”

The home’s mostly original wood doors — hand-carved on-site by a master craftsman — were all restored.

Another consultant on the property was William Black Jr., son of the home’s original owner. Black was just 16 when the house was built, and helped with the construction while on summer vacation. Black is responsible for the distressed look of the ceiling beams.

“He was cutting rebar for the contractor and he accidentally scorched a pile of logs,” Stiegler said. “To hide his mistake, he took a wire brush and brushed them down.”

Though the blunder was discovered, Black’s parents liked the look so much they had their son replicated it for all the ceiling beams.

The Black family’s original, indoor barbeque room also has been preserved.

“It was quite a labor of love for all of us and the contractor, because the fire marshal did not originally want us to keep it,” said Project Manager Joseph Reid, of IS Architecture. It was approved after a commercial hood and fire suppression system were added to the room.

Respect for original inhabitants Partway through the rehabilitation process (2008), the seven-acre property was named a sanctified cemetery by the California Native American Heritage Commission. As such, any digging or excavation had to be handled delicately, Stiegler said.

A small amount of Native American artifacts — including a grinding stone and human and fish bone — were discovered on the site while boring soil samples on the patio, and while digging in another area for sewer, water and electric lines.

La Jolla-based architect Ione Stiegler, who served as principal architect on the project, discusses the challenges of rehabilitating the 1952 structure. It was built on cliff-hugging land that has since been designated a sanctified Native American cemetery.

OBITUARIES

■ Principal Donors: Audrey Geisel, Rik and Flo Henrikson ■ Purchased by University of California: 1967 ■ Mandate: University policy requires chancellors to live in universitydesignated housing on or near campus, to carry out fundraising or other entertaining duties.

Representatives from the Kumeyaay people, deemed likely the most recent descendants of the land, oversaw much of the work.

To obtain environmental approval for the project, the university, architects and contractors had to assure that they would follow federal guidelines established under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The university initially commissioned a subterranean survey of the land, using ground-penetrating radar, said Jeff Gattas director of UCSD’s marketing and media relations department. “If we thought there was an anomaly, we would avoid that area,” he said. u

hen students of La Jolla Country Day School heard about November’s typhoon in the Philippines, they wanted to help in a meaningful way.

Susie Nordenger, the school’s director of public service programs, and several parents, joined with a group of students to lead an effort to collect clothing. They learned from past disasters that this could really help the recipients.

The school community responded, and over the next few weeks, thousands of pieces of new and lightly used clothing were donated.

The clothing was then sized, bagged and tagged for easy distribution.

Early last week, the shipment went off to the Philippines in special containers, heading to two small communities that will be wearing a lot of Torrey gear in the coming months.

A note in Tagalog language was added to each box with best wishes from Country Day students and families. u — From LJCD School Reports

Ruth Catherine Mooney 1917 – 2013

Ruth Mooney passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 10, 2013. She was 96 years young with a clear, sharp and beautiful mind. Ruth was born on April 19, 1917, in Needham, Massachusetts, to Alfred Leafield and Augusta Parks.

She started her young working life as a nurse during which she found love and married Paul Mooney who became a renowned physicist and inventor in the field of Optics. They shared an adventurous life together through Paul’s work with the government which transported and transplanted the family all over our country. They finally settled in California and Ruth lived the last 27 years of her life in La Jolla.

She was an avid reader and contributor to the “The Friends of La Jolla Library”.

Everywhere she lived, she created lasting friendships.

Ruth was a true patriot and always interested in the issues of the day. She was a Chef extraordinaire and showed off her talents especially around Christmas time creating ginger bread houses and all the other

Christmas trimming delights.

Ruth is survived by her son, Paul; daughter, Frances; three grandchildren, Damon, Karen and Brian; and three greatgrandchildren, Sidney, Brooklyn and K’leo. She is also survived by three of her five siblings, Lucy Keith, Ale Parks and Edith Manning; and a very long line of nieces and nephews.

She was an extraordinarily strong woman who valued family above all. Her gracious and caring manner was constant. Everyone in our family would turn to her for advice because all knew she would be straight and open minded in her approach. Her words were always wise and centering.

She ran deep into our souls.

Frontline Cancer SCOTT M. LIPPMAN, M.D.

Working to eliminate the cancer stem cells that sustain disease

C

hemotherapies seek out cancer cells by targeting a fundamental characteristic of cancer cells: their rapid and frequent replication. But in doing so, these drugs can destroy healthy cells that also grow quickly. The result: adverse effects like hair loss and nausea.

Worse, the benefits of chemotherapy are frequently short-lived. Seemingly beaten by chemotherapy, a cancer can suddenly return, spreading from its original site to other parts of the body with often catastrophic consequences. Ninety percent of cancerrelated deaths are due to metastasis, and almost every cancer can be metastatic.

Why do cancers recur when therapeutic evidence suggests they’ve been wiped out?

The answer lies in a type of cancer cell with the powerful characteristic of normal stem cells — the ability to self-renew or regenerate.

Unlike normal stem cells, however, this ability in cancer stem cells does not turn off.

Cancer stem cells are a relatively new phenomenon to cancer science. Conclusive evidence of their existence was found only in 1994, though in the years since, extraordinary efforts have been made to better understand them in order to destroy them.

It’s a daunting task. Cancer stem cells persist in small communities, often tucked away in the deep recesses of bone. They do not divide with dangerous abandon, which would make them easier targets of chemotherapy. In fact, they often lie dormant, essentially invisible until they begin again the process of self-renewal, differentiation and cancer relapse.

Toughest of all, they are very hard to kill, quickly developing resistance to existing drug therapies.

Nonetheless, progress is being made, some of it driven by researchers at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Among them is Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor of medicine in the UC San Diego School of Medicine and director of Stem Cell Research at Moores Cancer Center.

Jamieson has devoted much of her career to deciphering the secrets of cancer stem cells and, more importantly, working to develop effective treatments to rid the body of them. She specializes in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and leukemia.

MPNs are a family of uncommon, but not rare, degenerative disorders in which the body overproduces blood cells that may progress to leukemia. Almost 50,000 new cases of leukemia were diagnosed this year in the United States, mostly in adults.

Almost 24,000 Americans die from the disease annually.

In 2008, Jamieson and colleagues formed a unique partnership between industry (TargeGen) and academia to develop a drug to counteract the JAK2 gene mutation in

stem cells that causes MPN, which Jamieson had helped discover in 2006.

Traditionally, drug development takes many years, even decades. But with unprecedented speed, major contributions from TargeGen and Sanofi, from researchers at Stanford University and the Mayo Clinic and funding support from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), Jamieson’s work on a JAK2-inhibitor drug has progressed to the final stage of human clinical trials.

Her efforts do not stop there. Working with Tannistha Reya, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology at the Moores Cancer Center, and with collaborators at Pfizer and CIRM funding, Jamieson and colleagues have translated the discovery of sonic hedgehog gene activation in myeloid leukemia stem cells to Phase 2 international trials.

In addition, her lab has a $3.3 million CIRM grant to exploit newly discovered vulnerabilities in leukemia stem cells.

They’ve even identified a specific compound called sabutoclax (in collaboration with John Reed and others at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute) that appears to selectively target the hard-to-reach cells responsible for leukemia relapse.

There is progress elsewhere, too. Tom Kipps, M.D., Ph.D., deputy director for research at Moores Cancer Center, is spearheading an effort to target ROR1, an embryonic survival factor used by many cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia — the most common blood cancer in the U.S. And Kelly Frazer, Ph.D., director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine and Genomics shared resource at Moores Cancer Center, is developing a wide array of tools to detect cancer stem cells early in the disease process.

But most notable is the latest news: Denny Sanford’s recent $100 million gift to create the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center at UC San Diego. The center is a bold and much-needed step toward translating the promise of stem cell-based therapies into real treatments benefitting real patients.

Cancer most often kills because it is not killed quickly enough. The work of Jamieson, Reya, Kipps, Frazer and others is inching us closer to being able to completely eliminate the cancer stem cells that sustain disease. One day soon, I hope we will be able to not just diagnose and treat each and every cancer, but declare with confidence that a cancer vanished is a cancer banished. u — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in La Jolla Light the end of each month.

Sylvester is among the sea lions at La Jolla Cove.

Sylvester Sea Lion leads the charge for marine-and-land mammal co-existence

S

ylvester (‘Sy’ to his friends) is a bull sea lion with a harem inhabiting the cliffs of La Jolla Cove. He is extremely fit for his harsh marine habitat. A reflective membrane at the back of his eyes acts as a mirror, bouncing what little light he finds in the ocean back through the eye a second time to help him see underwater.

He also boasts an exceptional sense of both hearing and smell. Sy barks, honks, trumpets and roars, helping make the Cove a cacophonous place. He can dive up to 600 feet in search of fish and squid. With the help of nostrils that seal up automatically when he dives, Sy can be submerged for 10-20 minutes at a time. He is a great swimmer, reaching speeds of up to 18 miles per hour to escape from being eaten by killer whales and sharks.

Sy holds an advanced degree in ocean survival strategies from the University of California, Channel Islands and plans to live 20-30 years. His extensive biography is at animals. sandiegozoo.org/animals/sea-lion

If you could snap your flippers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area?

The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library staff, board members and artists celebrate the release of the Athenaeum book, ‘Selections from the Permanent Collection: 1990-2010.’ Courtesy

Picture This!

Athenaeum publishes a book about its artists

By Linda Hutchison he Athenaeum Music & Arts Library has been the hub of La Jolla’s cultural life for more than 100 years. It has taken many forms since Ellen Browning Scripps became the first president of the Library Association of La Jolla in 1899 and since the iconic Rotunda Gallery at Girard Avenue and Wall Street was added in 1957.

There have been even more changes in the last 20 years, as the library has reached out to involve art and music lovers in the community. To celebrate these changes and to honor San Diego artists, the Athenaeum has released a new book: “Selections from the Permanent Collection: 1990-2010.”

“We had two main purposes in publishing this book,” said Erika Torri, executive director of the Athenaeum. “One, we are celebrating several 20-year anniversaries, and two, we wanted to concentrate on San Diego artists.”

Since approximately 1990, the Athenaeum has expanded and remodeled its space, established its permanent collection, held its first rotating exhibit, its first juried show, added jazz and chamber music concerts, and an annual gala.

“After we looked at our permanent collection, we realized we had enough to focus on that, on 20 years of collecting,” Torri said.

She and her staff set up guidelines for selecting the included artists from the permanent collection of 150. “We wanted to concentrate on San Diego artists and be very fair. We decided

to select only those who had solo exhibits and were part of the permanent collection. The resulting collection of 40 artists is a reflection of what is happening in San Diego,” Torri explained.

The majority of the featured artists live in or near San Diego, with several teaching at local colleges or universities. The few who live elsewhere have ties to the San Diego area, to the Athenaeum or to books or music in some way. Six of the artists have died since their solo exhibits.

Most of the art in the book is wall art: paintings, pen-and-ink drawings, photographs, mixed media, collages, small installations and sculpture. One artist — Patricia Patterson — originally painted her “Mary at the Stove” on a moveable plaster wall, which she took with her after her exhibit.

“I really missed that painting,” Torri said. Just before the library’s new book went to press, the artist donated it to the permanent collection (where it hangs today on its original piece of wall) and the staff had to scramble to rearrange the contents of the book.

Another exhibit was actually a large box — “Smoking Room” by Jay Johnson — but is displayed in the permanent collection as a digi-

Another 20-year milestone is that “Selections from the Permanent Exhibit” is the first book about San Diego artists published since

1985, when the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art published a catalog of 42 San Diego artists and since 1988, when Robert Perine published “San Diego Artists.”

The Athenaeum’s book includes an

introduction and acknowledgements

by Torri, who oversaw its creation as its chief editor.

Helping her were Julie Dunn, editor; Maura Walters, her assistant; Cornelia Faye, the

The book includes original photographs of each artist from his or her solo exhibits, as well as more recent photos of the interior of the Athenaeum taken by Philipp Rittermann, whose collaborative mural with Robert Irwin currently overlooks the Jonathan’s Market parking lot. It also includes an introductory essay, “Meander through a Collection,” by Lucia Sanroman, former assistant curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art. For those interested in the history of cultural life in La Jolla, secondary material at the back of “Selections from the Permanent Collection” includes: a list of main gallery exhibits, more information about the permanent collection artists, a brief history of Jonathan’s Market; and lists of past librarians, administrators, executive directors, presidents, staff and board members.

The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library welcomes more than 110,000 visitors a year to its three galleries and hosts seven to eight rotating exhibits annually. Solo exhibits are held in its Main Gallery, which in 2012 was renamed the Joseph Clayes III Gallery. u

Tidewater Tavern: Where everybody knows your name

By Kelley Carlson n a region filled with modern restaurants, Solana Beach’s Tidewater Tavern is an old-school standout.

Popular with the locals — and tourists during the Del Mar racing season — the nearly 20-year-old establishment embraces the laid-back California culture with no pretenses. “We’re the real deal,” owner Sam Lunde said.

Despite a recent remodel that included new wood floors and an emerald green wall with ivory waves, Lunde ensured that he stuck to his original concept.

The dining room features a “garage door” that is open to the outside when the weather is pleasant. Classic-style surfboards are suspended from the ceiling and a mosaic board created by artist Cherrie LaPorte pays homage to the late local football legend Junior Seau.

The ocean theme continues throughout the tavern, from shark jaws in the dining room and a swordfish over the bar, to jellyfish dangling in the lounge and portholes near the front.

Another “old school” aspect of the Tidewater is its menu, as there have been few changes over the years, Lunde said.

Many of the appetizers are bar-food standards, such as homemade potato chips and hot wings. Crispy calamari (a favorite ingredient here) is served in sandwiches, tacos and as strips that are much like chicken, but with tartar and cocktail sauces for dipping.

One of the tavern’s signatures are its fish tacos. Tortillas are filled with slices of mahi mahi (sometimes substituted with yellowtail), cabbage, cheese, white-garlic sauce and a “Solana Beach classic” salsa based on a recipe from the now-defunct Blue Bird Café.

I

Hot Wings are served with ranch dressing, celery and carrots.

Owner Sam Lunde holds up a pint of Guinness while standing next to a mosaic surfboard that’s a tribute to Junior Seau.

On The Menu Recipe Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at lajollalight.com Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story.

n This week’s recipe:

Tidewater Tavern’s Table Top Sandwich Other popular selections are the halfpound Tavern Burger, which is cooked over an open flame and simply dressed with grilled onions, mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato; and the Table Top Sandwich, a stack of pastrami and turkey breast covered with melted Swiss, coleslaw and Thousand Island dressing between slices of a toasted French roll.

Those who prefer lighter meals have options such as the Oriental Chicken Salad, consisting of greens topped with grilled chicken, crispy wontons, carrots, red cabbage and a spicy ginger dressing.

To accompany the fare, there are plenty of brews (including chilled Guinness that’s creamy and smooth and served in a pint glass) and about a half-dozen wines.

Cocktails are available as well, and those whose tastes lean toward strong and fruity will be rewarded for ordering a Mai Tai. The 30-year-old Mai Tai recipe (which Lunde

The Table Top Sandwich contains pastrami, turkey breast, Swiss, coleslaw and Thousand Island dressing between slices of a French roll. PHOTOS By Kelley Carlson said he helped create when he worked at the former Kona Grill & Bar) incorporates five types of rum and assorted juices. “It’s like drinking a double,” Lunde said.

Breakfast is also on the menu from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the weekends, when Mexican dishes such as Chorizo & Eggs and Huevos Rancheros, are accompanied by sides of rice, beans and tortillas.

Seating at the restaurant is usually on a first-come, first-served basis, although reservations are recommended for 10 or more people. Lunde said the tavern often hosts parties that are “free form,” where people meet, drink, play pool at the four tables, put quarters into the jukebox and reminisce over’ 80s classic-rock tunes.

Patrons also drop in to catch sporting events on its 18 high-def, flat-screen TVs. Tidewater has subscriptions to football, basketball and baseball packages, and access to horse racing channels. u

flows through storm drains to the ocean, where it befouls my pad and is not good for this sea lion’s game. And Mary J. Blige — her especially.

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

My guest list would include: Children’s Pool benefactor Ellen Browning Scripps (to state her vision for the Children’s Pool, in her own words, once and for all), marine mammal supporter Jane Reldan, M.D., beach access advocate Melinda Merryweather, Jimmy Carter (to keep the aforementioned’s dinner

conversation peaceful), famed underwater sea explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Canadian film director and deep sea explorer James Cameron, Ariel the Little Mermaid (she’s so cute), and George Hauer of George’s at the Cove restaurant. He’s visited my home. I’m hoping he’ll host my dream dinner at his place. (I hear the view is great!)

What are your favorite movies of all time?

The new CNN “Blackfish” documentary and 2009’s “The Cove”; “Finding Nemo” (when I’m hungry); “Jaws” (terrifying!); and “Slappy and the Stinkers.”

In the latter classic, five

human elementary schoolers who don’t follow strict rules established by their principal are dubbed “Stinkers.” On a field trip to an aquarium, the Stinkers decide that a sea lion called Slappy doesn’t exactly enjoy being there, so they “free” him, and plant him in their principal’s hot-tub.

What is it that you most dislike?

Cormorants. They smell awful! And humans who text and post Facebook selfies on the beach.

What is your mostprized possession?

The La Jolla Cove, naturally.

Folks will surely pig out this year on everything from super lean, nutty and sweet flavored wild boar burgers to an assortment of extremely rich and fatty cuts. Executive Chef Camron Woods from Amaya La Jolla is embracing the return of the “proper pork,” a greasy, pink-fleshed animal, which had become factory farmed into an unnaturally lean “other white meat.” He serves cuts from the deepflavored purebred Red Wattle using the

oily pork belly for housemade bacon, whole-roasted racks for sliced chops, and shoulder and butt for pulled pork sliders.

his work as chief artist for the TV series “COSMOS” (1978-1979), gave a talk Dec. 3 at the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination at Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus. Lonberg urged listeners to stop thinking of themselves solely as La Jollans, Californians, Americans or Earthlings, and start thinking of themselves as Citizens of the Galaxy.

This, Lonberg says, is a significant step in breaking down some of the false barriers and misconceptions that divide the planet and lead to conflict and strife.

“From a cosmic perspective, the things that divide us are meaningless. We should be shedding our differences and embracing our commonality,” Lonberg insisted. “We are the first generation to emerge out

By Will Bowen eople used to complain to the late great scientist of the cosmos, Carl Sagan, that they did not like astronomy because it was scary and made them feel small and insignificant in comparison with the grandeur of the universe. Sagan would reply, “Well, if you feel that way, why don’t you go out and do something significant!”

In a similar vein, Sagan’s long-term artistic collaborator, Jon Lonberg, likes to say, “Well, maybe you and I are just a speck of dust in the universe, but we are an impressive speck of dust that has figured out our galaxy!”

of an awareness of our solar system into an awareness of our galaxy. Our civilization has evolved to the point that we can introduce ourselves to the universe.”

Lonberg, who was also design director of NASA’s legendary Voyager Interstellar Record (humanity’s self-portrait or time capsule that was launched on a billion-year voyage to the stars in hopes that it might be found by extraterrestrial life), discussed his current project, which he would like to see based out of the Center for Imagination. He wants to send a computerized time capsule program, similar to that on Voyager, to the New Horizon spacecraft, which is now about two years away from the planet Pluto.

Included will be photographs, music, and the names of 10,000 people who have signed a petition urging NASA to undertake this project.

Lonberg also spoke about the 100-footwide garden at his home on the Kona Coast of Hawaii, which he has shaped into a scale model of our galaxy. On one of the leaves

of one of plants in the garden, many of the familiar stars that we can see at night are indicated. On a nearby plant, visitors can find the location of Kepler 22b, which is the nearest Earth-like planet, perhaps holding life forms, discovered by the Kepler Telescope.

Lonberg first designed a model galaxy for a gallery in Toronto, Canada in 1975.

After completing one of his cosmic paintings, “Star Flowers,” he said he came to the realization that a garden might serve as an excellent scale model representation of our galaxy.

With the help of students from the local high school where he lives, Lonberg took plants common to Hawaii and began to build a spiral-shaped garden in scale with the actual galaxy.

The garden he created is highly symbolic and metaphorical. For instance, hibiscus flowers are used to represent nebuli, tiny red pebbles on the garden path stand for red giant stars and the black hole at the

Erik Viirea and Mary Ann Hawke center of the galaxy is depicted as a fountain.

Lonberg uses his galaxy garden to give workshops for teachers and students to help them get a hands-on, walk-around feel for the cosmos. He hopes to build an even larger garden in Shanghai, China in the near future.

In the audience for Lonberg’s talk was best-selling science fiction writer David Brin, the author of “The Postman,” a novel made into a movie starring Kevin Costner.

Brin says he always “gets the vibes” around Lonberg and that he likes the idea of the galaxy garden.

“People, both kids and adults, respond well to the garden because it gives you a sense of scale,” said Brin.

Also in the audience was astronomer Dennis Davidson, who built a digital model of our galaxy for the Hayden Gallery in New York City. “I think the garden is incredible! It is the most efficient way to help people understand our galaxy and it

brings a new awareness or embodied cognition about the galaxy to people who wander in it,” Davidson remarked.

Erik Viirea, an M.D. and Ph.D. involved in neuroscience research, introduced Lonberg. In his concluding statements Lonberg told the audience, “There must be other forms of life out there, more advanced than us, who have already worked through many or all of the problems we are still dealing with here on Earth. We may never be able to sit down and chat with extraterrestrial beings because the distances between us are so great, but we may be able to start communication with them using radio waves that move through the universes at the speed of light.

“These days there are so many negative visions of the future, such as doomsdays, zombie apocalypses, and the like … we need a positive vision of the future. My dream is that we will eventually encounter and connect with higher forms of life, who will help us evolve as a civilization.” u

80 years

Since 1932 Ross Thiele & Son, LTD. Established in 1932, Ross Thiele & Son is a third generation family business and one of the oldest interior design firms in San Diego.

Originally located downtown, Ross Thiele moved the business to 1227 Prospect StreetLa Jolla in 1940 and son, John Thiele, joined the business. In 1982 the brick façade from their Prospect Street building was dismantled and reconstructed into the office they designed and built at 7425 Girard Avenue- La Jolla.

This building continues to house the family business of interior design and a showroom of fine European and Continental antiques.

In 1986, John Thiele’s daughter, Elizabeth Barkett, joined the business and is the current Principal Designer with team Susie Keeton, Lacey Colmore and Jessica Caviness.

Ross Thiele & Son combines its third generation of design with young fresh talent to bring their clients’ dreams to fruition. With the belief that every client is unique in style as well as the way they live, Elizabeth designs living spaces personally tailored to them. From new construction and full remodels, to freshening up a living space, Ross Thiele & Son delivers expert design, quality, and service. Whether the project is a traditional Spanish home in Rancho Santa Fe or a cozy beach cottage in

he Athenaeum Music & Arts Library hosts “Faiya Fredman: Domestic Collection Suggestions� and “Carried Array by Emily Grenader, Jessica Sledge and Joe Yorty� through Dec. 28 at 1008 Wall St., La Jolla.

For her show, San Diego artist Fredman turns her eye inward — toward the objects she lives among. The toys, masks and small sculptures that she has collected and lived with over many decades have come to constitute an image-world that forms the background for her life and artistic production. As she turns photographic attention to objects that have stood mutely in the background, they burst to life as though animated cinematically.

In the Rotunda Gallery, “Carried Away� presents a visual response to the Athenaeum’s varied collections through the eyes of three artists.

Emily Grenader’s work A piece from the ‘Faiya includes large paintings of Fredman: Domestic Collection crowds in public spaces.

Suggestions’ exhibition Jessica Sledge works in film, sculpture and performance, and values drawing and photography as daily practices vital to her artistic process.

Joe Yorty is facilities manager of the Department of Art, Architecture and Art History at the University of San Diego.

Admission is free. The library will be open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. (858) 454-5872. u

Live Here. Give Here.

The Athenaeum on Wall Street is decked out for the holidays.

La Jolla is home, and like all homes, it needs maintenance and TLC. ‘Elf’ Jane Ek was on hand to help arrange the cookies from Diana and Francois Goedhuys of Girard Gourmet.

Mere tax dollars aren’t enough. Together, we can pool our resources to keep La Jolla the jewel that it is.

The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) was created to enrich the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla. So far, we have funded the fire pits along the Shores, commissioned world-class murals around town, repaired the “Teardrop” entrance on La Jolla Parkway, created educational coastal signage, and are now developing a plan to maintain the Village on an ongoing basis.

Guests delight in the ‘Video Mob’ portraits gathering in real time to the video portrait on an Athenaeum wall.

Membership is open to all La Jollans who care. Join the LJCF and have a voice in selecting annual grant recipients – making a difference here, at home, where you live.

Please join us. Annual local projects will receive 75% of your contribution and the other remaining 25% will go into a permanent endowment. To make a contribution, please go to lajollacommunityfoundation.org and click on GET INVOLVED. Become a member today!
