San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park reserved for everyone

BY JUDITH LEA GARFIELD | VILLAGE NEWS It is the only San Diego city park without benches and walking paths. There’s grass, but it isn’t Bermuda, and the plentiful water is salty not sweet. Most of those who partake of the amenities sport gills not lungs. This unusual place is the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park, which comprises 6,000 acres of submerged lands bordered by Torrey Pines State Park to the north and La Jolla Cove to the south.

While taking invertebrates is illegal, fishing in part of the park is allowed with a license. The most magical and accessible part of the park is the 533 acres designated as the “look but don't touch” La Jolla Ecological Reserve.

In brief, leave everything be, living or not. Five large, yellow buoys mark the reserve’s offshore boundaries that comprise the waters around the Cove, the seven caves, La Jolla Shores and the adjoining submarine canyon.

Signage by the California Depart-

ment of Fish & Game clearly states that “No person shall disturb or take any plant, bird, mammal, fish, mollusk, crustacean, reptile or any other form of plant life, marine life, shells, geological formations or archaeological artifacts ...”

The reserve is unique to the coast because of its four distinct habitats that may be likened to the Grand Canyon, a redwood forest, a desert and a rocky stretch of boulders. And don’t forget that each particular backdrop houses

specially adapted species. You'd be driving for days to access all these environments on land. Join me below for an armchair tour highlighting aspects of this tiny square mile-and-a-half area.

La Jolla Cove, one of two gateways to the reserve, is bestdescribed as a public aquarium.

NEWS NEWSbriefs Former Jack’s La Jolla employee to stand trial Former Jack’s La Jolla bookkeeper Tara Moore, 40, will stand trial on charges of grand theft, embezzlement, financial elder abuse and forgery after being accused of stealing more than $3 million from Jack’s, nearly $1 million from another former employer, and nearly $2 million from her former mother-in-law. Moore is also accused of illegally collecting $150,000 from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for spousal support she was no longer entitled to after the death of her third husband.

The accusations came to a head after Bill Berkley, owner of the now-shuttered Jack’s, hired a forensic auditor to take a closer look into the restaurant’s finances dating back to 2003. Moore became a suspect, and following a one-year investigation by the San Diego Police Department’s economic crimes unit, she was arrested at her Point Loma residence in September last year.

Moore’s defense attorney, Paul Pfingst, said while she was employed at Jack’s, Moore loaned money to the failing restaurant for upkeep of its daily operations, such as payroll, and the partial reimbursement was authorized by a signed agreement between Berkley and Moore.

Pfingst also said loans from Moore’s mother-in-law were approved and are being paid back.

Moore was ordered not to leave San Diego County and she will return to court on Aug. 6 for arraignment.

‘Nightingale’ crew responds to criticism over casting

BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS Responding to harsh feedback and a controversy very much in the spotlight in recent days, the La Jolla Playhouse hosted a panel discussion on July 21 to address casting decisions made for the theater’s ongoing production, “The Nightingale,” a musical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale originally set in feudal China.

The musical is presented as part of the playhouse’s new “Page to Stage” play development program, where playwrights and directors make constant changes to the play throughout its run in response to the audience’s reaction and feedback.

“We pick plays that are not finished in any way, shape or form — that are still discovering their story, discovering what the writing should be, what the design should be and very much what the casting should be,” said La Jolla Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley.

The public response to the production was one of sharp criticism, primarily from members of the Asian-

American acting community, who felt shafted by the casting decisions for “The Nightingale,” in which two out of the 12 actors in the company are Asian American and the lead role of the emperor is played by a white actor.

“To see this production with so few Asian-American faces reminds me how invisible we still are and how we are still often not invited to sit at the table. And to not be invited to sit at the table in a play that takes place in an Asian country is like a knife to the heart,” said panelist Christine Toy Johnson, Asian American Performers Action Coalition (AAPAC) member.

“Aside from the human aspect of why this matters to us, it’s that knowledge of the talent that is out there, and underused, that fuels a lot of the passion here.”

Another AAPAC member, Cindy Cheung, said her reaction to the casting decision was one of “dismay, disgust and confusion.”

“I’m still getting over the shock of having seen it and having so many people be okay with this. It was very disturbing,” she said. “We know it’s

Birch Aquarium receives grant to study with Taiwanese facility The American Association of Museums and U.S. Department of State recently granted Birch Aquarium and sister aquarium, the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in Taiwan, a $65,000 grant to establish an international coral reef program.

“We are excited to launch this unique international effort,” said Nigella Hillgarth, executive director at Birch. “Scripps Oceanography scientists are at the forefront of coral reef research and we look forward to working with Taiwan scientists and students on this critical issue.”

The international cultural exchange program, named “Coral Reef Ambassadors,” will connect 30 middle school students from San Diego and Pingtung, Taiwan with scientists, stakeholders and aquarium staff in a collective effort to help save crucial coral-reef ecosystems.

The idea behind the program is to inspire the next generation of the ocean’s stewards to take interest in coral reef science and develop crosscultural research and conservation skills.

Starting this fall, experts from each aquarium will bring to life the other country’s marine ecosystem by creating live coral reef tanks that represent the unique reef environment found in the other’s country.

Coral reef science education, handson learning experiences and live streaming of wild coral off the coast of Taiwan are also part of the program.

The grant was offered as part of Museums Connect, a grant program that connects U.S. museums with facilities from 13 other countries to encourage open dialogue among cross-cultural participants through community projects, partnerships and local events.

“AAM is proud to partner with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs on this vital program ...” said AAM president Ford W. Bell. “Museums, like all aspects of society today, are becoming more international in their focus, while also retaining their mission of service to their local community ...”

NEWS CIVICreport: La Jolla Parks & Beaches, July 23 Mt. Soledad Assoc. argues for lighting atop the memorial amid community concern

BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS La Jolla Parks and Beaches (LJPB) members weighed in on the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association’s request for an easement to provide power to the veterans’ memorial atop Mt. Soledad.

Although approval of an easement would provide power for a number of things — including an electric information kiosk and a public-address system for the association’s community events — LJPB members concentrated much of their attention on proposed lighting of the stairways, plaques and flag that would inevitably come with the approval of the easement.

According to Mt. Soledad Memorial Association’s chairman, Bill Kellogg, the group has been commissioned by the Navy, which owns the property, to “preserve or return the memorial to such a condition that would be safe when visited by the public,” according to a memorandum of understanding between the two parties.

“One of the things that the Navy had asked us to do was make sure that there was safe access to the site, so we committed to make sure that we carried out the installation of stairway lighting, which would help after dark with people navigating their way up,” he said.

The association has also proposed illumination of the American flag atop the memorial, allowing it to fly 24 hours a day and eliminating the need for raising and lowering it each morning and night.

Many committee members who attended a lighting test at the site praised the illumination of the flag, but stated their ambivalence toward lighting on the stairways and plaques.

“I thought the flag was beautiful,” said LJPB member John Beaver. “I believe the lights going up the steps were excessive — they were overly bright — and the ones showing the

This week in La Jolla history...

From Linda Pequegnat’s “This Day in San Diego History”

Aug. 2 1928 La Jolla nearly became an aviation center. The Navy had a 1,500-foot long practice landing strip on Mt. Soledad in the Muirlands, located east of today’s upper La Jolla Mesa Drive. The strip extended from the present-day Hartley Drive across Buckingham Drive and La Jolla Rancho Road.

The landing strip was commissioned as an airport on this date in 1928. It served air travel between La Jolla and Agua Caliente, a fancy resort built at a hot springs location in Tijuana — a popular place for San Diegans to visit during the 1920s because of the luxury hotel, gambling casino, race track and legal alcoholic beverages when there was prohibition against alcohol in the United States.

In those early days, there were also gliders that were launched off Mount Soledad from where the cross is now located. The gliders were launched with a

bungee cord that acted like a slingshot.

They would land in the canyon that is now La Jolla Parkway (formerly Ardath Road).

In 1930, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of the famous aviator, Charles Lindbergh, became the first woman in the United States to receive a first class glider license after launching a sailplane from Mount Soledad.

Today, there is a popular gliderport, the Torrey Pines Gliderport, located on Torrey Pines Mesa above the ocean west of the University of California San Diego campus and near the Salk Institute for Biological Research.

The Torrey Pines Gliderport is one of only five historically designated a National Soaring Landmark in the United States, having first been used as a gliderport in 1935. Hang gliding was suspended from Torrey Pines Mesa during World War II when the U.S. Army’s Camp Callan occupied the property. Hang gliding resumed in 1947 after the camp was closed down.

fish. Rock and boulder outcroppings support lush flora, including algae (brown, green, and red) and verdant surf grass strands. Besides human protection, the Cove is patrolled by California’s state marine fish, the flamboyant and irascible flame-colored garibaldi (Hypsypops rubicundus). Irascible? Well, once I inadvertently impinged on the temperamental fish's domain, and he bit me on the lip.

Anchored offshore of the Cove at 30foot depths is a swath of California giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera). From land, the brownish surface slick belies the altogether different underwater vision of a towering redwood forest. True, the drama is better realized at 100-foot depths, but even here the forest is impressive.

When I'm diving in clear water and under sunny skies, I look skyward to see shimmering rays of sunlight bend and splay through the amber fronds. Each kelp stand is held in place at the base by a holdfast, a complex maze of root-like matter that binds to rock or boulder. The holdfast houses a menagerie of small animals, like brittle seastars and insectlike isopods.

The kelp forest shelters the ocean floor, which crawls with crabs, sea hares, and knobby sea stars. Giant kelp is not only a species,but a habitat as well.

It's a bed and breakfast of sorts, offering food and lodging for millions of critters from hundreds of species both large and small. Sea lions, the re-emergence of giant sea bass, bat rays, sardines and California barracuda school, hover or weave through the forest. Once, when I was intently photographing something, a baby harbor seal gently tugged on one of my fins. After gaining my attention, it rose up to rest its head on my upper arm and gaze into my eyes. An experience like this won't happen in tropical seas because kelp only thrives in water temperatures I euphemistically label “brisk.”

Across the bay from the Cove and adjoining kelp bed is La Jolla Shores, a mile-long beach and the reserve’s other gateway. At first glance, the ripply sand bottom looks stark like a desert, but close up is flush with life, albeit more subtle than the dramatic displays found in the Cove and kelp forest. Pipefish are camouflaged among tufts of sea lettuce algae, while invertebrates like sea pansies, sea pens, and sand dollars live life atop the sand grains. Burrow openings are the only clues that clams reside below.

Summertime brings a convention of leopard sharks (Triakis semifasciata) to the southern end of La Jolla Shores off the Marine Room in the surf zone. Easily identified by their gray body (averaging less than five feet long) adorned with thick black, elongated spots draping over the back and sides, you probably wouldn’t guess that nearly all are females. No need to worry about your place on their food chain because a leopard shark’s dinner bell chimes for mostly for mollusks like squid. For best viewing, snorkel or float on the surface, as flailing swimmers and scuba tank bubbles terrify the shy creatures. Look for shovelnose guitarfish rays that often cohabitate with the leopards.

The La Jolla Submarine Canyon plunges to depths off limits to humans but the terraced ledges (about 50 to 85 feet deep) are fun for scuba divers to investigate. To access the canyon, enter the water at La Jolla Shores. Swim west several hundred yards, after which the

sandy bottom drifts downward, then drops off sharply. Adventurers travel over terrain such as gentle slopes, gullies, steep cliffs, and wide valleys.

Oddly named, odd-looking or surprisingly colorful creatures like sarcastic fringehead fish, fairy hydroids, giant sheepcrabs, scarlet gorgonian fans and vermillion rockfish are some regular canyon denizens, but extraordinary creatures like market squid, Loligo opalescens, periodically emerge from the inky depths.

Spawning squid present a breathtaking show, and even when it’s over the resulting cigar-shaped, white egg capsules may transform the mud bottom into a winter snow scene. While the protected head of the canyon is the squids’ spawning goal (driven like spawning salmon), an uptick in the local squid fishery over the past 10 years (likely due to the collapse of numerous squid fisheries globally from overfishing) means that boatloads of squid don't reach their final destination. Even if divers can no longer thrill to football fields of squid eggs seen in the past, those having never seen such a display aren’t disappointed by the more recent shows. Boats lined up offshore (outside the reserve's boundaries) at night blare stadium lights, a technique that attracts squid into the deployed purse seine nets, and these have become familiar to longtime La Jollans with ocean view homes.

When my first book about the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park came out, one reviewer noted, “I suspect that there are many man-made things deposited on the ocean floor over these many years. Just in case I should put on a wet suit and venture into the deep some day, I would like to know everything about what I would encounter in that other world.”

What’s so is that only a few bits of line from old buoys are seen, and these are not noteworthy. Whether it be accidentally dropped or purposely deposited, nothing will remain within scuba diving range for long. Shifting sands from constant water movement (tidal flow, currents, storms, swells) transport the debris downward, which bottoms out at about 1,000 feet deep. For anyone who purposely trashes the reserve, it is not only illegal but a fruitless exercise by the clueless.

The La Jolla Ecological Reserve exists as a grand example of “the small but the mighty” because of its many benefits: aside from protecting marine life species within four distinctive landscapes, it is a rare urban reserve. Is there poaching? Yes, some, but having easy access highlights the reserve’s existence and value to the public. How great it is to swim and dive in an area not picked over and strewn with tangles of fishing line (a safety concern for divers). And for nonhuman visitors like leopard sharks who don’t live in the reserve year round, protection is still key because they congregate here, meaning they would otherwise be easily decimated from fishing.

Be it swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving, in the 35 years I’ve spent exploring this unique city park, I’ll never finish seeing it. But don't believe me. Sea for yourself! Don a face mask and step into the water to discover a submerged wonderland of unparalleled beauty you otherwise could not imagine exists.

NEWS NIGHTINGALE

CONTINUED FROM Page 3 Moises Kaufman, the play’s director, explained that casting decisions were based on the creative team’s intention to create a fabled story in a mythical land, rather than one set in a specific place and time in China.

“When you are working on a new play or a new musical, what the creative team is always trying to do is to try to find the place where the original story, the host text, resonates within you,” he said. “When the three of us were looking at this fairytale, we were excited by the mythical idea.”

He said the two fascinating aspects of Hans Christian Andersen’s tale that grabbed the creative team’s attention were the idea of the magical bird and the mythical fairytale land in which they intended to set the story.

“A big part of this conversation was that we wanted this to be a cast that has as many ethnicities and as many minorities as populate the American landscape. We were in search of a mythical space. We were never interested in setting it in a real China in a real moment in time,” Kaufman said.

“Had we thought we were setting it in feudal China or China in 1817, our casting choices would have been very, very different.”

He said inspiration for the set design and costumes were based on a number of different cultures, ranging from the emperor’s Iranianinspired robes, the townspeople’s Brazilian fishermen-influenced attire, and the use of a mixture of Chinese and Moroccan lanterns on set.

Despite the creative team’s intent, some critics questioned whether the majority of the audience would have the cultural context to understand that they were seeing a blend of cultures onstage, and not, in fact, China.

“Everything that we see as an audience and everything we see in the marketing materials that say, ‘Break

white men.”

Steven Sater, who authored the musical adaptation of “The Nightingale,” agreed there are longstanding inequities in the American theater system, but he maintained that his vision for the piece reflected the multicultural world in which he lives.

“As an artist of social consciousness, we need to be mindful of those issues and address them. I also feel that I have to address what’s in my heart and my artistic vision for the

piece,” he said. “I was not writing for a company of actors, I was writing for a vision that was in my mind and that vision always was, and remains, to be multi-cultural and multi-ethnic.

However imperfect its realization here may be, that’s the vision I continue to embrace for this piece.”

Although the creative team may have been unsuccessful at fully articulating their vision, they emphasized that the production is a work in progress.

“We are a developmental production,” said panelist Tara Rubin, casting director for the production.

“What we are really sharing is the theater process, rather than what we intend to be a finished product. If our multi-cultural approach to this is not coming across, that’s a valuable part of the Page to Stage process to the creative team.”

Both Ashley and Kaufman issued statements of apology for any offense made to the Asian-American community.

“We didn’t intend to offend fellow artists or the Asian-American community and that we inadvertently did so, we are sorry,” said Ashley.

At the conclusion of the forum, Ashley highlighted the importance of the open discussion in the wider context of raising awareness to the greater theater community.

“This forum is part of a larger effort to build relationships and help to create new opportunities for inclusion. I also hope that the public forum will encourage other arts organizations to have similar types of public conversation about these issues. I think that the future of the American theater is dependent on conversations like this one — on mutual understanding that leads to progress,” he said. “If you have any thoughts or ideas about how to construct a real pipeline for opportunity in the theater at La Jolla Playhouse, that was the beginning of a conversation, not the end of it.”

For those who frequented the hotel’s top-floor restaurant (formerly Clay’s) before the property closed for renovations, the only thing that will be familiar, said Cusp representative Nicole Lazar, will be the view.

“Those who were familiar with it before will be amazed,” she said.

The best seat in the house, according to Lazar? Sorry guys — it’s the ladies restroom. For ladies that go to freshen up during dinner or happy hour, they may not want to leave. The women’s restroom features a panorama of the surround-

ing area, which may prove troublesome for their dates waiting back at the table.

Hotel La Jolla is located at 7955 La Jolla Shores Drive. For more information, visit www.hotellajolla.com.

Cusp will be open daily for dinner at 5 p.m., with happy hour at the bar from 4 to 7 p.m. every day. Breakfast will be served from 7 to 10:30 a.m., and a casual and quick lunch service will be offered from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

out the chopsticks,’ tells us that you think it’s in Asia,” said Cheung. “You explaining the concept of you not thinking it’s in China is one thing, which I respect, but it doesn’t line up to what we are seeing.”

She also touched on modern-day race politics as a key factor in the plight of the Asian-American acting community.

“It’s very difficult when we read in the paper the explanations that have been given — that ‘we wanted to do a rainbow cast, we wanted to do multicultural casting’ — which sounds really good and well-meaning and altruistic, but it’s skipping over the reality that 1.5 percent of Broadway roles in the last five years went to Asian Americans,” she said. “Multicultural casting was intended to create opportunities for people in underrepresented groups. What I see here is that it created opportunities for five

series, however, offers more than just a chance to get out on a balmy summer night. Catering to its adult clientele with adult libations, Flicks on the Bricks offers, along with a movie stub, a wine pairing for each film, carefully selected and presented at the start of the evening

by Barbara Baxter.

This year, Flicks on the Bricks is teaming up with Finch’s Bistro and Wine Bar for an even tastier summer series, with the restaurant’s “Meal and a Movie” program.

Moviegoers can head to Finch’s before the start of the film for a prix fixe movie-themed meal on the patio, with each three-course meal including a choice of entrees and a glass of red or white house wine.

For the Aug. 2 showing, featuring the film “Some Like it Hot,” Finch’s will be serving up a chilled cucumber and avo-

cado soup, braised chicken or the La Jolla salad (grilled shrimp, hearts of palm, avocado, tomato, cucumber, organic spring mix with a lemon vinaigrette) and, to top it off, a house-made champagne cherry sorbet with a marinated berry garnish. After the meal, guests will enjoy Baxter’s hand-picked champagne and sparkling wine for the showing of the Marilyn Monroe classic.

Dinner at Finch’s Bistro and Wine Bar is served from 5 p.m. The cost for the pre-movie meal is $35 per person (tax and gratuity not included). Space is limited — for reservations call (858) 4564056 or reserve online at www.finchslajolla.com.

For listings of films and other information, visit www.ljathenaeum.org/specialevents.html. All film showings are for 21 and up only.

Spotlight on people: Trudie Richman’s great escape

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS When Trudie Richman sits down at her piano, a change comes over her.

Her fingers move over the keys with a blitheness that only comes from a lifetime of muscle memory. Her expression is fixed into a permanent halfsmile, and about 30 years seem to fall away from her already youthful 85year-old face. It’s clear that Richman’s love of music comes from deep within.

When Richman was 15 in 1938, she was forced to flee her native Vienna to escape the increasingly frightening conditions Jews were facing in the recently Nazi-occupied city. Richman eluded Hitler’s forces, making her way to America, where she didn’t speak the language, all the while never knowing if she would ever see her family again. Her experiences, from her early childhood up to her high school graduation, are detailed in her

new book, “Escape from Vienna.”

When the La Jollan was in her early teens, Hitler invaded Austria “very suddenly.” Her happy childhood, which she describes in depth in her book, was quickly turned upside down.

“From one day to the next, we didn’t know if we could even stay in our home,” she said.

SEE RICHMAN, Page 15

If you go...

• Aug. 2: “Some Like it Hot” Wine pairing: champagne and California bubbles • Aug. 9: “Under the Tuscan Sun” Wine pairing: vino Toscano • Aug. 16: “Murder on the Orient Express” Wine pairing: vino Español • Aug. 23: “Sabrina” Wine pairing: vin Français All shows start at 7:30 p.m.

Film series: $60 Athenaeum member, $80 nonmember. Individual screening: $17 member, $22 nonmember

Trudie Richman was only 15 when she had to flee Nazi-occupied Vienna. She ended up in New York, then lived in various places around the U.S. and Israel before settling in La Jolla. Richman has always kept her love of music. KENDRA HARTMANN | Village News

For movie lovers, there’s no shortage of events in San Diego to get their film fix. Apart from regular movie theaters, San Diegans have film festivals covering every genre, specialty movie houses for those that want a bit of art culture with their film and theaters that cater to moviegoers’ every whim. Even some of the oldies but goodies are coming back, in the form of a new drive-in theater in Pacific Beach.

But some locals wait all year for the summer season when the outdoor film series makes its mark on San Diego.

Films can be viewed under the stars at a number of locations, but one of the most unique is the Athenaeum’s Flicks on the Bricks, starting Aug. 2.

Returning for its sixth year, Flicks on the Bricks invites viewers to enjoy a film al fresco every Thursday on the Athenaeum’s outdoor patio. This film

A revolutionary film festival fusing cinematic art with cutting-edge fashion will again descend on the village for one glamorous weekend at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla (MCASD).

Fashion-forward filmmakers, directors, industry leaders and cinephiles from around the world will gather to celebrate the inspiring works of their colleagues, muses and icons for third annual La Jolla Fashion Film Festival from July 26-28.

Each night, MCASD will host roughly 20 carefully vetted short fashion film features — often complemented by the film’s attending director or filmmaker — at the seaside venue’s 500-seat theater. Panel discussions and seminars throughout the festival will entice those in the fashion film community to engage in conversation about the films and the ideas they represent, even after they are over. To help channel that inspired chatter, meet-and-greet afterparties with the directors will be held at Barfly just down the street each night after the film screenings.

“Just like New York Fashion Week, we are an industry event that attracts interest from fashionistas worldwide. Last year, our local fashion elite made a strong showing and we feel this year will be even better,” said festival producer Fred Sweet. “Everyone can look forward to three evenings of the best in fashion film production worldwide.”

This year, Sweet expects the festival to be bigger and better than ever, drawing its largest crowd yet. Additionally, the stakes for filmmakers are even higher than before. Thanks to a generous sponsorship by RED Digital Cinema, the festival’s Best Picture winner will be awarded with a $40,000 RED Epic digital camera at the closing night after party on July 28.

Another record opening

and Kansas plays La Jolla

Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas Opening Day crowds grow bigger every year at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, to the envy of virtually every other racetrack in the nation. Is it CEO Joe Harper’s prescient management? Or Julie Sarno’s annual One and Only Truly Fabulous Hat Contest? Perhaps it’s the fine Southern California weather, which was at its very best for the July 18 season premiere (75 degrees, sunny, with a gentle breeze). Or maybe it’s that the word is out that this is the place to see and be seen. Who wouldn’t want to be here to see the sleek thoroughbreds that run every 32 minutes or so? Fortunately, that leaves a half-hour between each race to spend admiring the artwork of some of the world’s finest fashion designers, haberdashers and plastic surgeons, proudly and revealingly on parade inside the turf club and throughout the entire venue.

Even Harper, who’s run this place for the last 35 years and should know better by now, failed to foresee a fifthstraight Opening Day attendance record. Asked early in the day, he said he expected an attendance of 44,000 or so. He was probably just being modest.

Attendance topped all previous openers, with a crowd announced as 47,339 for this special day — it was the 75th

anniversary of the track’s 1937 inaugural. (The betting “handle” was up by a million, too.) Joe’s got plans to keep fans coming in — the following Saturday, every 75th fan coming through the gates would receive $75, and there will be great concert lineups every Friday and Saturday (free with track admission).

Although nothing beats Opening Day as the most social occasion of the entire racing season, many cultural and charitable organizations will host “Day at the Races” events, with opulent lunches and dedicated betting windows, throughout the meet (which runs through Sept. 5). But only Opening Day has the famous hat contest, which drew about 500 entries again this year — many of them quite serious. Winners included Stefanie Gates (Oceanside; Best Fascinator), Emilee Wilson (Temecula; Best Fresh Flowers), Meg Davis (La Costa; Most Outrageous) and Lori Shelton (Scripps Ranch; Best Racing).

Daniella Lopez of Imperial Beach, in an elaborate handmade black-and-white design with matching dress, won the Most Glamorous category, also taking Best Overall.

Madison Gallery is proud to present new works by internationally acclaimed artist Miya Ando.

In her work, Miya Ando creates quiet, abstract, meditative environments. Her post-minimalist, hand-dyed aluminum paintings covey her interest in the study of subtraction to the point of purity, simplicity and refinement. Familial history, spiritual and philosophical pursuits deeply inform every aspect of her work. She is influenced through meditation, nature, geometry and the ethos and aesthetics of Zen Reductivism. With a deep appreciation for the dynamic properties of metal and its ability to reflect light the artist creates works which are centered on transformation, reflection and transcendence. Metal simultaneously conveys strength and permanence and yet in the same instant can appear delicate, fragile, luminous, soft, and ethereal. The medium becomes both a contradiction and juxtaposition for expressing notions of evanescence, including ideas such as the transitory and ephemeral nature of all things, quietude and the underlying impermanence of everything. Miya Ando has created an exciting new body of work from her Brooklyn studio exclusively for her solo show, Meditations at Madison Gallery.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Miya Ando is a half Japanese and half Russian- American artist who lives and works in New York City.

She was raised in two worlds: among sword smiths turned Buddhist priests in a Buddhist temple in Okayama, Japan and in a redwood forest in Northern California. She is the descendent of sword maker Ando Masakatsu. Recently Ando’s artwork has been featured on CNN News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

LA JOLLA VILLAGE NEWS | THURSDAY, JULY 26, 2012 | PAGE 13

In her work, Miya Ando creates quiet, abstract, meditative environments. Her post-minimalist, hand-dyed aluminum paintings convey her interest in the study of subtraction to the point of purity, simplicity and refinement. Familial history, spiritual and philosophical pursuits deeply inform every aspect of her work. She is influenced through meditation, nature, geometry and the ethos and aesthetics of Zen Reductivism. With a deep appreciation for the dynamic properties of metal and its ability to reflect light, the artist creates works which are centered on transformation, reflection and transcendence.

'QUIETNESS 2' | 48" X 48" HAND DYED ALUMINUM | 2012

Metal simultaneously conveys strength and permanence and yet in the same instant can appear delicate, fragile, luminous, soft, and ethereal. The medium becomes both a contradiction and juxtaposition for expressing notions of evanescence, including ideas such as the transitory and ephemeral nature of all things, quietude and the underlying impermanence of everything. Ando has created an exciting new body of work from her New York studio exclusively for this exhibition.

'LUMINA CUBE RED' | 2.5" x 2.5" x 2.5" HAND DYED ALUMINUM | 2012

Miya Ando is a half Japanese and half Russian- American artist based in New York.

She was raised in two worlds: among sword smiths turned Buddhist priests in a Buddhist temple in Okayama, Japan and in a redwood forest in Northern California.

She is the descendent of sword maker Ando Masakatsu. She was awarded the Pollack Krasner Grant in 2012, and her artwork has been featured on CNN News, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. She has received international recognition for the 9/11 Memorial Sculpture unveiled in September, 2011 in London. Ando's work is widely exhibited and collected with public artworks in South Korea, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York. Her work has been exhibited in Paris, Berlin, Austria, Greece and across the United States.

Exhibition: July 16th - August 4th Opening / Artist Reception: July 28th, 6-9 PM PLEASE CONTACT THE GALLERY TO RSVP Or to arrange a private viewing of this collection.

Did You Hear Me? Remember when you were young and your parents were lecturing you and at the end would say “Did you hear what I said?” You would say “yes” and continue on with your own thoughts.

Today, as adults, we find ourselves in a reverse situation. Children, at times, must now take over the role as parent to ensure the well being of their elderly parent.

Linda calls her mother every night after work and gets the same answer to every question she asks – “Everything’s fine.”

Assuming that “everything is fine” and that her mother knows and does what is best may be putting them at risk. Experts advise it is better to discuss the possible need for extra support before the need arises. Sit down with your parent and ask questions about what concerns them about the future, are they worried about losing independence; do they want to stay at home? Become their partner by knowing what legal and financial arrangements are in place.

For more resources to help children care for their elderly parents, call the Certified Geriatric Care Managers at Innovative Healthcare Consultants. These RN who are experts in geriatrics will help you know when it is time to bring in professional services to help or when the need to find new living arrangements is necessary.

MUSTGO Jerome’s is partnering with I Love a Clean San Diego for a community cleanup event at the one-mile stretch of beach at La Jolla Shores on July 28 from 8 to 10 a.m.

“With nearly 60 years in San Diego, we know how important area beaches are to our customers” said Jerry Navarra, chairman of Jerome’s. “We’re happy to bring some added fun with giveaways, food and prizes for those who roll up their sleeves for our community.”

Volunteers may discover some unusual items at this particular cleanup due to recent debris — with more expected to come — linked to Japan’s tsunami last year washing ashore along the Pacific coastline. In addition to a Harley-Davidson in British Columbia, a 20-foot Japanese boat in Washington and a dock on the Oregon coast, debris in the form of crates and a plastic bottle covered in Japanese writing has also been found along San Diego’s coastline.

Community members who are interested in participating in the beach cleanup can contact I Love a Clean San Diego at (619) 704-2778 or email jdeleon@cleansd.org to register, or simply show up at 8200 Camino del Oro on the morning of the cleanup. Cleanup supplies will be provided, as well as information about how participants can win special prizes.

For more information about I Love a Clean San Diego, visit www.cleansd.org.

MUSTSEE Celebrate the magic of summer by celebrating the art of La Jolla with the La Jolla Art Association’s newest exhibit, “Summer Magic.”

Beginning July 30 and running through Aug. 12, the show will feature many local talented artists and their interpretation of the fairest of seasons.

Showcasing everything that reminds us of the best parts of summer, the show will close with an artists’ reception on Aug. 11 from 5 to 7 p.m. with refreshments and summertime perspectivces from the artists featured in the show.

The La Jolla Art Association is located at 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, Suite B, and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (858) 459-1196 or visit www.lajollaart.org.

MUSTDO The Brian Schultz Memorial Golf Classic and All Green Electronics Recycling are teaming up to host an ewaste collection drive at Whole Foods Market in La Jolla to give community members a chance to ditch those dustcollecting electronics and sensitive e-documents in a safe, secure manner. Not only does proper disposal of e-waste prevent identity theft, it also protects the environment from potentially harmful toxic chemicals that

electronics often leave in their wake when improperly disposed.

Instead of letting that old computer monitor or cell phone collect dust and take up space in your closet, visit Whole Foods on July 28 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to recycle responsibly.

Whole Foods is located at The Shops at 8825 Villa La Jolla Drive. The event is free and open to the community. For more information, visit www.allgreenrecyc-ling.com or call (562) 983-8139.

and Lisa Altman at their stunning clifftop La Jolla Farms estate. Lisa cochaired the event, along with Dana Kiffmann and Stacey Valencia.

The event was the annual “Rock the Cure” benefit for UCSD’s Pediatric Diabetes Center, to help fund research toward a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Usually diagnosed in children and young adults, it was formerly called juvenile diabetes and represents only about 5 percent of diabetes cases. It runs in Mr. Altman’s family, and although he never suffered from the condition, he’s been exceptionally supportive. The Altmans have donated $10 million toward construction of the new Altman Clinical and Translational Research building, scheduled for completion in 2016.

About 350 guests enjoyed the event, beginning with a chance to meet the band at a VIP reception featuring (once again) signature hors d’oeuvres by the generous Jeff Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, exceptional wines and a great ocean view. The main party featured

Among them were La Jolla’s own Barbarella, Café Japengo, Cups Organic, Donovan’s Steak & Chophouse, Herringbone, Nine-Ten Restaurant & Bar and promising newcomer Puesto Mexican Street Food. Their offerings were plentiful and compelling. The melodious Soultones entertained while guests ate, drank and socialized.

Kansas, having lost nothing over the years, gave an energetic 90-minute concert on a full-dress stage with big-con-

cert lighting. They totally involved the appreciative audience with both old and new music. They concluded with their most famous hit, and the Altmans then encouraged the stoked-up crowd to continue the party with desserts and latenight merriment. Most thoughtful touch: the desserts included several sugar-free options. The highly-successful event raised almost $600,000.
