BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS Just as the summer sun sets and night’s darkness begins to descend upon the village, merchants, residents and visitors will light up the evening with a festive atmosphere filled with lively music, stunning artwork, one-of-a-kind shopping and good eats spilling out of every storefront from Prospect to Pearl. Starting June 9, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) will host “Haute La Jolla Nights,” a much-anticipated series inspired by similar neighborhood events in San Diego, like Little Italy’s successful “Kettner Nights” and North Park’s culturally rich “Ray at Night.” “LJVMA is always looking for ways to keep La Jolla Village a world-class destination and to support the success of our merchants,” said Julie Matibag, Haute La Jolla Nights chairwoman. “With so many world-renowned galleries and diverse shopping, we decided that this type of program was an ideal fit for La Jolla.”
Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to stroll among more than 100 participating retail shops and galleries in the village after hours, while hearing the tune of more than a dozen musical performances en route. Not only will La Jolla’s stores stay open later — from 6 to 9 p.m. — but Village merchants will also host special receptions, offer great deals and giveaways, serve up complimentary appetizers and drinks, and showcase creative displays, demonstrations or shows throughout the evening at no cost. “La Jolla has so much to offer, but not everySEE NIGHTS, Page 4

Reconnecting to our oceanic roots World Oceans Day gets residents out on the water BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS Rising sea levels. The extinction of endangered species. Depleting ozone, ocean acidification and general environmental destruction and despair. The topics that tend to dominate
headlines about the state of our planet’s health largely portray an atmosphere of doom and gloom, and it is this attitude that organizers of World Oceans Day want participants to avoid. Sort of. Though awareness of such devastation is, of course, imperative to finding a solution, World Oceans Day, held every June 8, aims for a decidedly more celebratory angle. The point of the celebration, said Travis Pritchard
of San Diego Coastkeeper, is to raise that awareness by encouraging residents to get out and enjoy the ocean in any way they can. “Here in San Diego, we’re recommending people spend the day on the beach or in the ocean, reconnecting with our coastal resources and reminding themselves of the majesty and amazingness of the ocean,” he said. “It’s a celebration, a party.

With graduation just around the corner, La Jolla students are looking toward the future. Some envision themselves as doctors who will help cure the ailments of the sick and wounded. Some see themselves as business leaders or entrepreneurs, launching themselves into economics and business programs at their upcoming universities. Some may simply be thinking about the impending summer vacation or feeling relief for making it through the last four years. Regardless of the diversity of short-term sentiments or long-terms goals graduating seniors hope to accomplish, all are caught up in the same flurry of excitement that generates this time of year. Here are a few of the area’s standout stars and their hopes for the future:
The Bishop’s School • Monica Kim, this year’s Harvard Cup award recipient, was honored for her scholastic achievement in earning the highest cumulative grade-point average of the entire graduating senior class at The Bishop’s School. The Harvard Cup tradition began in 1953 when the first award was given to the senior with the highest academic record at the then-San Miguel School for Boys, and the tradition continued in 1971 when San Miguel merged with The Bishop’s School.
