UCSD professor uncovers clues that King Solomon’s mines existed

Shopping expert provides tips on navigating Westfield UTC the day after Thanksgiving

The existence of King Solomon has been a topic of debate and intrigue for countless researchers and treasure-seekers, and an anthropologist at the University of California, San Diego has uncovered evidence suggesting that the ancient king’s splendid, copper- and gold-adorned palaces — as described in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) — may very well have existed.

Thomas Levy, a UCSD professor of anthropology and Judaic studies, has pioneered three highly sophisticated digging excavations in an area called Khirbat enNahas, located in southern Jordan. His efforts attracted the attention of NOVA/National Geographic Television, which sent a crew to Jordan with him last

fall. The resulting documentary about Levy’s findings, “NOVA: Quest for Solomon’s Mines,” aired Nov. 23 on PBS. Levy, also the associate director of the Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology (CISA3), wasn’t looking for King Solomon’s mines at first. He was actually researching the role of ancient technology on the evolution of society. But what he found in Jordan was groundbreaking — thousands of tons of slag, a byproduct of smelting ore, and different types of blowpipes (bellows) used to heat the ore. Using the process of radiocarbon dating, his team discovered there was industrial-scale metal production of copper precisely in 10th century B.C. SEE SOLOMON, Page 5

The team’s findings showed that when fisetin was fed to fruit flies with mutant Huntingtin genes in the brain, they had fewer motor defects, such as impaired eye development, and extended their life spans by 30 percent.

Although fisetin does not reverse or stop progress of the disease, especially in its advanced stages, Maher’s team found that the compound may slow the progression of motor problems such as the inability to walk, talk and reason in the early stages of the disease.

Maher and her team’s findings were published in the online edition of Human Molecular Genetics. The effects of fisetin in humans with Huntington’s disease has not yet been tested; however, Maher and her team’s findings lay the groundwork for future research on fisetin’s benefits for patients with early signs of the disease.

NEWS La Jolla activist awarded for 60 years of dedication

BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS For La Jolla resident Gracia Molina de Pick, serving those who suffer from discrimination and poverty is a family duty. Her mother had eight sisters who were all involved in the women’s suffrage movement in Mexico and her greatest mentor, Aunt Elena, was a close friend of internationally heralded artist, pacifist and feminist Frida Kahlo.

All these influential loved ones passed the torch to Pick, 80, who was recently honored as a local hero for her 60-year commitment as an educator, feminist, student mentor and community activist. In conjunction with Hispanic and American Indian Heritage month celebrations, KPBS and Union Bank presented her with the award Nov. 16 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla.

Her activism for women’s equality, indigenous communities, and labor and immigrants’ rights has culminated in progressive and concrete milestones.

Molina de Pick founded IMPACT, a community grassroots organization fighting for Mexican-American civil rights, and Comision Femenil Mexicana Nacional, the first national feminist Chicana Association. She has also been a chairwoman of both the National Women’s Political Caucus, a grassroots organization dedicated to increasing women’s participation in politics, and the National Council of La Raza, the largest national Latino civil rights organization in America. She organized Chicana participation in the U.N. World Conferences on Women, and she has also published a book that highlights women in the indigenous period in Mexican history. The book is titled “Mujeres en la Historia y Historias de Mujeres.”

“There are only two ways to change things in society — one is by the vote; one is by the gun,” Molina de Pick said.

Her passion for peace, equality and justice

Tom Karlo, general manager of KPBS, presents an award to Gracia Molina Enriquez de Pick at the 13th annual Local Heroes Awards program, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla on Nov. 16. She was honored for her work as an educator, professor of Chicano/a studies and women’s rights activist.

runs deep in her veins, and her activism began at a young age.

In high school, Molina de Pick was involved in post-World War II peace movements and political efforts to get women the right to vote in national Mexican elections. By 16, she founded and led the youth section of the Partido Popular, the only political party at the time that advocated women’s voting rights.

After moving to San Diego with her husband, Richard, in 1957, Molina de Pick continued to emphasize the importance of voting rights and education in creating peace.

Within a few years in San Diego, Molina de Pick saw the oppression of the Hispanic population in schools where she worked, such as National City Junior High, where 70 percent of

her students were Hispanic and undereducated. Many of her Hispanic students were even placed in mentally disabled classes because they did not speak English.

From that point on, Molina de Pick became instrumental in educational reform in San Diego. She founded and wrote the curricula for the first associate’s degree in Chicano/a Studies at Mesa College — the first degree of its kind in the country at a community college. In 1970, she became a founding faculty member of the University of California, San Diego’s Thurgood Marshall College.

“There has been a tremendous amount of change, but communities are still segregated,” she said.

She continues to push for educational programs, such as MANA, formerly the Comision Femenil Mexicana Nacional, which she helped establish.

Among the many generous contributions that she has made to educational reform in the San Diego community, the most incredible is saving the Logan Heights Library by draining her own bank account.

“I gave the last of my money that I had in liquid, $80,000, to the Logan Heights Library,” she said. “I believe in libraries, I live in the library and I wanted a library in the barrio.”

To contribute further, the La Jollan held her 80th birthday in the library and asked for donations to the fund in lieu of personal gifts.

Additions to the library’s endowment fund totaled more than $6,000 that day.

Her spirit, generosity and passion has been such an inspiration that Jan. 12, 2010 was designated Gracia Molina de Pick Day in San Diego.

Molina de Pick said she intends to move back to Tequisquipan, Mexico, where she has a small home, and continue her activist efforts there.

Her next project is to begin a scholarship fund to help students buy textbooks for school.

NEWSbriefs Man pleads guilty to robbing three Chase banks Primitivo Martinez, 50, has pleaded guilty to robbing the La Jolla Chase Bank and two other banks, and he faces up to 19 years in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 6 in San Diego Superior Court.

Martinez, who is also known as Mario Bilba, said he robbed the bank on Villa La Jolla Drive on Aug. 30. He also admitted to holding up two other Chase Bank branches in Bonita and Scripps Ranch. He showed tellers a note which read “put money in bag, no red dye.”

Court records reveal Martinez was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in July, and has other prior records dealing with burglary, receiving stolen property and possession of illegal drugs. The plea form Martinez signed states the maximum sentence is 90 years.

Judge Theodore Weathers indicated he would limit the prison sentence to no more than 19 years.

Martinez does not have a plea agreement with the Office of the District Attorney.

Martinez was arrested last month and remains in the South Bay Detention Facility without bail.

Scripps reveals high-tech expansion for La Jolla hospital

BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS Scripps Health unveiled Nov. 17 its $2 billion master plan to build three new hospital towers over the next 25 years to replace the existing Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. If approved, the 43acre comprehensive medical campus would include research and graduate medical education facilities, an outpatient treatment center and medical offices.

The first tower, a $398 million, eight-story, 383,000-square-foot tower, would break ground in June and is scheduled to open for patient care in 2015. The tower would become the hub of the Scripps Cardiovascular Institute, featuring 108 inpatient beds in private rooms, 60 intensive-care beds, six state-of-the-art operating rooms, cardiac catheterization labs, centralized cardiovascular research lab, and a center for graduate medical education.

Medical and surgical treatments in the new hos-

pital would incorporate the latest technologies including robotic surgery, digital monitoring and record keeping, wireless technology and high-tech operating rooms. In-patient room amenities include wireless Internet access, plasma-screen televisions and pullout couches for overnight stays.

The towers’ state-of-the-art building designs will incorporate green building principles and practices such as large expanses of windows to take advantage of natural light, water- and energy-saving devices and a “green” roof in at least one of the building’s three towers.

Funding for the hospital’s expansion will come from operating revenues, borrowing and community support. Thus far, $32 million of its $125 million fundraising goal for the first tower has been contributed in the form of philanthropic gifts.

The Scripps Health master plan has been submitted to the City Council and is currently under review.

Former Country Day JV volleyball coach sentenced to six years Xia Wei Li ordered to register as sex offender and will be deported A former La Jolla Country Day School girls volleyball coach was sentenced Nov. 16 to six years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of performing a lewd act upon a 12-year-old girl who attended a volleyball camp where the coach was also working.

Probation was denied for Xia Wei Li, 29, of Pacific Beach by San Diego Superior Court Judge Theodore Weathers, who fined him $1,574. Li was given credit for 120 days already served in jail.

The parents of the girl told the judge “in private, our little girl spent many hours sobbing” and has weekly therapy sessions. They described her as “a gullable adolescent” who has since had two nightmares.

“We learned that our bubbly, gangly girl had been seduced by her coach and molested in a manner that was cool, calculating and degrading,” said the girl’s mother.

The girl was molested July 21 at a July 19-22 camp sponsored by the

University of San Diego. The victim told her parents about the molestation on July 25, and it was reported to San Diego police.

Deputy District Attorney Dan Link said reports of the incident have “rocked” the coaching world.

“The acts of this man have affected so many,” said Link, who urged an 8-year prison term.

Li’s attorney, Court Will, said Li has coached many minors and this is the first instance of misconduct. He urged a lesser sentence and no more than three years.

“I am not a bad person, but I’m a person who made a bad choice in a very dark moment of my life,” said Li, who wore a blue jumpsuit. “I am very sorry.

Weathers said Li “took advantage of a position of trust.” The judge ordered Li to register as a sex offender for life. After he finishes his sentence, Li will be deported to China as he was not in the United States legally.

Li was arrested Aug. 4 outside his residence on Oliver Street. Li was the junior varsity girls volleyball coach at La Jolla Country Day School starting in 2007, and was scheduled to coach this season.

The mother said she hopes Li will “repent of his sins and be a better man.”

La Jolla’s ‘great wall’ offers a view of community’s history Reflections Reflections

By Carol Olten

Rock walls may seem like a boring subject, but one in La Jolla deserves particular attention because it is somewhat of an enigma and is definitely a historical curiosity.

The wall is located on Coast Boulevard at the foot of Cuvier Street on the back side of the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art. Reaching 400 feet long and standing 21 feet in height at its tallest point, it is built of smoothly worn rocks gathered from the beach. Standing above it on the adjacent Coast Boulevard sidewalk, one is afforded beautiful ocean views of the north shore toward Oceanside and, more immediately, a fine, sandy little beach with some intriguing rock formations, including one frequently photographed piece of topography the ocean has carved out over the years to look like a bench.

People often stop to enjoy these views and the wall itself has become a popular spot for rock climbers to test their abilities. Surfers have named the little beach “Wipe Out” for obvious reasons.

Now for the curious stuff. For a while there was a legend of a La Jolla doll lady who made little shrines in the wall’s niches to place some of her precious toys. The wall originally had 50 niches for lights set eight feet apart as beacons for boats and ships at sea. The lights were removed during the blackouts of World War II and almost all of the niches were filled in. It seems nobody has thought about restoring the lights over the years.

Taken sometime between 1908 and 1910, this photo, which is part of the La Jolla Historical Society’s postcard collection, shows the wall located at the intersection of Coast Boulevard and Cuvier Street being built. The wall is about 400 feet long and 21 feet tall at its highest point. Courtesy of the La Jolla Historical Society.

And now for the real enigma. How and when did La Jolla’s “great wall” get there? A postcard in the La Jolla Historical Society archives shows the wall in the process of being built. The estimated date written on the back is 1908-1910. A wood frame has been constructed where the wall is to be built in the postcard picture and three men are standing at the bottom of the cliff on a large pile of rocks as if looking ahead to long days of labor.

When the rock wall was built circa 1910, it prevented erosion and provided protection for the largest and grandest house in La Jolla at the time – Ellen Browning Scripps’ revered South Moulton Villa that stood atop the hill where the present-day museum is located. Scripps probably had the wall built herself or provided funding to build it. True to her native British heritage,

she had a predilection for cobble walls and her property was defined by the stone walls surrounding it — stretching along Coast Boulevard from Cuvier Street to Eads Avenues, up Eads to Prospect Street, and from Prospect back to Cuvier. Many of those walls remain intact and the La Jolla Historical Society is working toward their preservation.

The landmark rock wall by the ocean has retained its character over the years. Standing over it, walking along the sidewalk by it and enjoying the views around it have provided pleasure to many over many years – the wall is around 100 years old.

The last few months, the wall has brought special enjoyment to myself and my one-year-old dog, who is able to jump on his hind legs, put his front paws on top of the wall’s ledge and look out

Carol Olten, historian at the La Jolla Historical Society, stops to let her one-year-old Samoyed “Jingles” observe the La Jolla Cove from the 400foot-long wall on Coast Boulevard. Olten estimates the wall was built in 1910 or earlier by Ellen Browning Scripps.

over the ocean. He does so every day, straining at the leash until we arrive at the spot. He closely observes everything in sight from the ledge, sometimes for as long as five minutes — and believe me, that’s a long, concentrated effort for a Samoyed.

Seven of his eight proposals punish city workers for the recent sales-tax increase defeat, rather than the politicians and the investment lobbyists who created this budgetary mess in the first place.

For years, the prevailing notions of

neo-liberalism and its market-based control of government, from privatization to paying non-livable wages, was tied to the casino-like gambling of Wall Street. Those who would dismantle community government sell the commons to the highest bidder and send most workers into destitution never talk about how over reliance on the stock market really got us in this economic chaos. Just this year alone, the pension fund has lost tens of millions of dollars on investments.

As a community, we need to look at ending corporate welfare, like the Centre City Development Corporation and our subsidies to ballparks, hotels and other “private” ventures; the mayor’s office and the City Council should look at cutting six-figure consultants and lobbyists on the public dole; and we should look toward revising our pitiful services fees for wealthy developers and well-heeled speculators, rather than raiding the paychecks of the honest people who toil day-in and dayout to make this such a fine city.

Are three councilmembers better than one?

Your letters column (“Where do you draw the line?” Nov. 18 edition, page 6) illustrates the importance of how we draw political district boundaries.

The editor and one reader review a major consideration in the redistricting process — whether La Jolla should be in one district or two. It’s presently in two. There are advantages to both situations.

By choice, City Heights straddles three districts and might want to continue that. In contrast, many members of the lesbian gay bisexual transgender (LGBT) communities were put

together into one district (District 3) in the 2001 process.

You might not be aware of that or the reasoning for it. The Village News might want to study and consider the two approaches to district boundaries.

The LGBT communities wanted to control the choice of at least one councilmember, so preferred having their strength massed into a single district.

They chose Toni Atkins in the 2002 election and Todd Gloria in 2010.

They thought such an arrangement would better advance them and their causes. I was not then and still am not convinced, but they seemed to know what they wanted and my neighbors in City Heights supported them. I myself strongly supported them too, and I’ll support them again to reach their political goals.

City Heights had a different view of the political landscape. Poor and illeducated, it looks at politics much more pragmatically. In 2001, it realized that five council votes make a majority. It reckoned that getting to five votes would be easier if it started with three than if it started with only one. Upon that reasoning, it lobbied

for boundaries that gave it access to three councilmembers.

It is now partly in districts 3, 4 and 7, with constituency status and strong neighborhood spokespeople in all three districts. On the whole, that was a good tactic for us.

The editor’s note to the letter “City needs to advertise redistricting position,” (Page 6, Nov. 18) and reader Gillian Ackland’s letter introduce what I discussed just above: two approaches to redistricting. The Village News might want to review the two and discuss them within its staff and with its readers before it takes an editorial position.

We acknowledge that many of our neighbors in City Heights are poor or poorly informed. Others are ill-educated or speak an exotic language, but we aren’t stupid. We understand politics. We know what’s good for us, we’re well organized and we’re pretty successful at getting our way. Our good friends in La Jolla, whom we admire, whose well-being and political choices we support, might take a lesson from us.

Bishop’s beats Coronado to take Division III title

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS On a rain-soaked Saturday night, The Bishop School’s boys water polo team reclaimed its place at the top.

The Knight’s beat Coronado 10-5 in the Division III CIF finals Nov. 20 at the Coggan Family Aquatic Complex in La Jolla.

“We had this really incredibly cohesive group of seniors this year who made it a goal to win,” said Bishop’s head coach Jim Fales.

After raining for the entire morning and afternoon on this fateful Saturday, the water ceased to fall as the game proceeded under the lights.

Then, in the fourth and final period the sky opened up and released a heavy downpour, adding to an already dramatic atmosphere.

“It was a good omen I guess,” Fales said.

With nerves abound on both sides, the game got off to a slow offensive start and at the end of the first quarter it was still a scoreless draw. The Islanders finally broke through with a goal moments into the second period for a 1-0 lead.

The Bishop’s School’s Sean Barlow fires a goal during the CIF Div. III boys water polo championship at Coggan Pool on Nov. 20.

DON BALCH | Village News

“We kind of spaced out for a second and let their guy get too close,” said Knights’ goalkeeper JP Engh. “He shot cross cage, it was an okay shot but I probably should have had it.”

Coronado awakened a sleeping Knights team with that first goal.

Bishop’s senior Matt Michalko knotted the score when he flung a shot around a defender, who was draped all over him, and past the keeper. The

Knights got their first lead 30 seconds later on a goal by Sean Barlow. Senior goal-scoring sensation Drew Hoffenberg scored the next two to give Bishop’s a 4-1 advantage. The Islanders scored with just 10 seconds left in the half to take some momentum heading into the break.

Coronado scored early in the third period to get back to within a goal, 43. Then it was time for Hoffenberg to

do what he does best under pressure.

He tallied the next two goals and provided his team with some breathing room heading into the game’s final stretch.

“We just kept pressing. They’re a great team but we got to them in the second half,” said Hoffenberg, who scored six times. “We slowly wore them down and finally we were able to break out.”

The star performance was nothing new to Hoffenberg’s coaches and teammates.

“He’s taken charge all season; he’s been our vocal leader all year,” Fales said. “This was his moment and we knew that going in. If I were a betting man I would never bet against Drew Hoffenberg.”

After the final buzzer sounded the team and its coaches made a celebratory leap into the pool. They sang songs of victory in unison and embraced each other for a successful season. As the rain poured down on a group that was so disappointed a year ago when it failed to reach the finals, one couldn’t help but think this must be how redemption feels.

Torreys roll in first round, face Francis Parker in quarters

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS The sixth-seeded La Jolla Country Day football team stomped all over Calipatria 45-0 in a Division IV first round CIF playoff victory on Nov. 19.

Sage Burmeister got the Torreys (83) rolling early on. In just his second start at running back, the sophomore busted off a long touchdown run in the opening minutes and added another 23-yard score with 7:22 remaining in the opening quarter.

“We had three running backs that were injured,” said head coach Jeff Hutzler. “That’s why he was starting.”

Burmeister finished with 204 yards on 19 carries and staked LJCD an early 14-0 lead. With the Hornets defense loosened up, Torreys quarterback Ruben Pena went to work. With 1:10 left in the first quarter the senior dropped back, pump-faked right then rolled left and found sophomore receiver Tyler Sheflo, who went up high and reeled in a nine-yard touchdown catch for a 21-0 lead.

“We had to keep everybody focused.

We didn’t want to lose focus,” said Pena, who completed 10 of 12 passes for 153 yards and four touchdowns.

Country Day tight end Nick Schlossberg got into the scoring act next when he took a Pena pass and dove into the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown, giving his team a 28-0 lead with 8:34 left in the first half. Schlossberg then made an impact on the defensive side of the ball, blocking a field goal attempt toward the end of the second quarter. The junior finished with a team-high six tackles.

Pena took advantage of the turnover by connecting on a stop-andgo route with senior wide out Anthony Torres for a 35-0 lead with 10 seconds left in the half.

“It’s my signature route, I knew I could beat him and Ruben threw a perfect pass and I caught it,” said Torres, who finished with 50 yards on four receptions.

LJCD kicker Hunter Khaleghi had a solid game making all six of his extra point tries and nailing a 42-yard field goal in the third quarter. Yossi Stein capped the game’s scoring when he grabbed a Pena pass near the sideline, stiff-armed a defender and bolted into the end zone for a 31-yard score. Stein finished with 81 yards on three receptions.

The win marked the seventh in the Torreys’ last eight games. It also propelled them into a second-round match up against third-seeded Francis Parker (4-6) Friday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m.

GOLDEN TRIANGLE UTC trainer locks down women’s self-defense class Program covers karate and street fighting

BY MARIKO LAMB | VILLAGE NEWS Jamie Steele, founder and owner of Steele Bodies Personalized Training, located at 4037 Governor Drive, has brought home his experience from developing a rape intervention program for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. He recently began a self defense class for women at his own facility, which emphasizes awareness, avoidance and situational defense techniques and utilizes karate and street-fighting applications.

“The class was developed to provide women with a simple and very effective way to defend themselves,” said Steele, who has taught martial arts and self-defense karate for more than 25 years. “It is based on rape prevention and all types of assault prevention.”

The program begins with a lecture on “avoidance and awareness,” which addresses avoiding dangerous situations, being aware

of surroundings and degree of threat, and knowing when to defend and when not to defend.

Some of the simple defense techniques include basic hand, fist, palm, elbow and forearm kicks, as well as escape mechanisms against bear hugs, choke holds, wrist grabs, arm locks and hold-downs. The basic techniques enable women — from pre-teen to adult — to defend against a potential attack.

“We teach women that they are much more empowered than they may think, and provide them with the knowledge and techniques to defend themselves if necessary,” Steele said.

For more information or to reserve a spot in the class, call (858) 457-5775. Classes are limited to 10 enrollees and take place Tuesdays through Saturdays in the afternoons or evenings.

UCHS ArtsTECH Academy provides 21st century learning View from 52 SANDY LIPPE Some University City High School (UCHS) students with an interest in studying technology or the arts are coaxed out of the community to go to High Tech High or the School of Creative and Performing Arts. Lauriel Adsit, the dynamic creator and coordinator of the UCHS Visual Arts, Technology and Theatre Academy (ArtsTECH), offers these students both arts and technology under one roof. Why go to another high school when UCHS has it all?

Adsit is a visionary teacher and she credits a parent, Rashmi Bhargava, with helping her launch the academy, one of 500 California Partnership Academies funded by the state. Bhargava felt students’ needs weren’t being met, and Adsit knew there was a great disconnect between the arts and technology, considering where technology was going. Frustrated by hearing parents and students say, “There is no future in the arts,” Adsit contends graduates with arts and tech skills are getting good jobs.

In California, the capital of entertainment and arts, even in tough economic times people go to movies, play video games and search websites.

In creating the academy, learning about fine arts and performing arts was one part of the equation, and adding practical skills in technology was the

other. Thanks to Adsit, ArtsTECH was born and is growing into a 21st-century success story at UCHS. After learning about the California Partnership Academy and grant money being made available by the state, Adsit spent one year learning about the concept and another year writing a grant.

The beauty of the academy is the smaller learning community, where it is more like a family in which the teachers individualize programs.

Adsit remembers how important her art classes were in high school.

“I lived for the fine arts classes,” she said. She gives praise to co-coordinator and digital tech instructor Brad Milhoan, along with performing arts teacher Belinda Brown. Lead teacher John Middleton instructs the 10th- and 12thgrade English classes. These highly skilled educators offer academy students a clear pathway to college and a career.

Academy facilities include a digitalage control room and sound booth, as well as a music suite, fit with state-ofthe-art audio and video equipment.

Adsit and Milhoan team teach. When she teaches a unit on architecture or cartoon drawing, for example, Milhoan utilizes technology to demonstrate 3-D design and animation.

Students can choose visual arts, with classes such as multimedia production, 2-D/3-D animation, layout and web design. Or they may opt for theatre arts, such as stage craft and technical theatre.

ArtsTECH has students across the academic spectrum. Many are in AP

classes, but qualifications stress a keen interest in the arts and a willingness to work. Adsit is in communication with her former students enrolled in colleges, and this year’s crop of graduating seniors will let her know about their jobhunting prospects. The report is in that they were well-prepared for college.

Keeping the grant entails providing detailed reports three times a year, and funding is very specific. Money is used for instructional supplies, such as specialized equipment for architecture, as well as staff development, common planning and curriculum writing. Adsit recently took the 11th-graders to the Museum of Contemporary Art, and last year everyone in the academy went to the Getty Museum in L.A. Field trips are part of the curriculum.

Both business and student advisory boards give input to the program, and mentorships and internships are mandatory. Community business partners include the Visual Arts Foundation, City of San Diego Printing Division, Cox Media, San Diego Museum of Art and Woodbury University.

As Paul McCartney says: “The key is, never stop doing what you love.” You only have to be around Adsit for a few minutes to see the passion she feels for the program. Utilizing her skills as a fine artist, graphic designer, teacher and resource specialist — she really loves what she is doing.

To learn more about the UCHS ArtsTECH Academy, please contact Lauriel Adsit at (858) 457-3040 or ladsit@sandi.net.

‘Joe Turner’ at UCSD a must see Seeing the light through

California impressionism

BY CHARLENE BALDRIDGE | VILLAGE NEWS The Pittsburgh-born playwright August Wilson (1945-2005) left a theatrical and literary legacy. His 10 plays spanning 100 years tell, decade by decade, the story of African Americans in America. Most of the plays are set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, where Wilson educated himself at the public library after quitting school because a teacher, reasoning that no young black boy could write well, accused him of plagiarism.

Wilson went on to become one of America’s greatest, most produced, most awarded playwrights, receiving both a Tony Award and a Pulitzer for “Fences” (1987) and a second Pulitzer for “Two Trains Running” (1992). Today, both a cultural center and a street in Pittsburgh bear his name, as does a theater on Broadway.

Until Dec. 4, The University of California, San Diego Department of Theatre and Dance is producing Wilson’s 1988 “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” set in 1911 in Seth Holly’s boarding house.

Kyle Donnelly, the Molli and Arthur Wagner Endowed Chair in Acting, directs. Head of the UCSD MFA Professional Actor Training Program, she charges scenic designer Colin McGurk with creating an entire world within the black cinderblock walls of the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre, and the result is a masterpiece aficionados must not miss.

Holly (Kyle Anderson) creates pots and kettles from sheet metal and tends a truck garden. He and his wife, Bertha (Ngozi Anyamwu), who provides clean sheets and two meals a day, run a respectable boarding house, though the presence of Bynum Walker (Gabriel Lawrence), who performs pigeon blood rituals in the backyard, is sometimes trou-

bling. Walker, a throwback to the African Griot, seeks the life-changing “Shining Man” he once encountered on the road.

Other boarding house residents are the flirtatious Jeremy Furlow (Maurice Williams), who plays guitar and has an eye for residents Mattie Campbell (Anne Stella) and Molly Cunningham (Daivee-Chantel Allen).

Into this milieu comes the wild-eyed Herald [sic] Loomis (Bowman Wright) with his child, Zonia (Ella Donnelly). Loomis, who was taken prisoner by the notorious Joe Turner and forced to work on Turner’s chain gang for seven years, is seeking his wife, Martha (Megan Robinson). He figures if he could see her face once again he could find “a starting place” for the rest of his life.

Despite the experience of numer-

ous productions, it has never been so apparent that Bynum, known as the Binding Man, brings about the play’s stunning conclusion, in which the wanderer finds his “song” again. This is due to the clarity of Donnelly’s production, brimful of Wilson’s engaging characters, including Zonia’s playmate, Reuben (Brian Bose). Scenes are knit together by powerful vocalist JerVae Anthony. Sandra Foster King choreographs exuberant Juba dances.

Lighting designer Rebecca Bonebrake and sound designer/composer/music director Blair Robert Nelson enhance spine-tingling moments.

11 Some new fish in the pond

You have probably heard about the quality of the light in Southern France and the many artists it attracted, wanting to paint how it bathed the lovely fields of lavender and basked the showy yellow sunflowers. But right here in Southern California, the light is considered to be of comparable quality and has attracted many artists as well.

The first of these were the California Impressionists, many of whom were trained in the finest schools on the East Coast of the United States or in Europe and who came to Southern California soon after the turn of the century. It was here where they began to paint landscapes, old houses and farms, and the ever-present eucalyptus tree.

At the K. Nathan Gallery, located at 7723 Fay St., there is a show of California Impressionists that offers a nice selection of both past and present masterworks of this genre. Rediscovered in the 1970s, the impressionistic landscape paintings are now considered the product of a bona fide art movement recognized worldwide. The show includes some real gems in which we can appreciate the California’s light, history and natural resources.

Keith Kelman, the owner of K. Nathan Gallery, said there are six very important artists of the California Impressionist movement. He calls them “The Big Six.” They are Maurice Braun (1877-1941), Guy Rose (1867-1925), William Wendt (18651946), Edgar Payne (1882-1947), Grandville Redmond (1871-1935) and Franz Bischoff (1864-1925).

There are many modern painters who paint the California natural landscape in the impressionistic and plein

aire style. Probably the best of these is Brian Blood. Blood admits to being influenced by the early impressionists, but denies trying to copy them.

Blood’s wife, Laurie Kersey, is also very good painter.

Tom Peters is a highly talented urban industrial landscape and cityscape painter represented by K. Nathan Gallery. He said he is very impressed by the capturing of light by the California Impressionists. Peters has done some painting in the style of impressionists and says it is a give-andtake process.

“You open up to the marvels of nature yet you bring something of yourself to it. As Maurice Braun liked to say, ‘It is what we visualize and the interpretation we give the fantasies of the mind that counts,’” he says.

Like Kelman, he says the California Impressionists had a very spiritual approach to painting. He said they were looking for the divine in nature and in light, and were thus transcenSEE GALLERY, Page 14

Owner Lauren Turek of Kerut, a new, high-fashion La Jolla boutique for ladies age 30 and older, said vests add a real punch to any outfit and can be worn in any type of weather.

“Also, chunky knits layered over leggings, denim and long maxi dresses are huge,” they said. “For men, it’s all about key pieces like a great trench, leather jacket, plaid flannel shirts and a nice boot.”

Vests, neutrals and Mongolian fur

Kerut offers an elegant bronzechampagne colored leather vest with a suede collar for an easy-to-wear, sophisticated look. One fun item that is flying off the shelves is a Mongolian goat fur vest with an oatmealcolored sweater backing.

“Statement scarves are also big for the fall,” as well as “anything fur,” Turek said.

Although some splashes of color will pop up in springtime, the biggest color trends this fall and upcoming spring are neutrals.

To make a statement this season, the high-fashion classic boutique suggests pairing a structured jacket, neutral bootleg cords and a statement scarf with a Mongolian fur bag.

Embroidered dresses are great for cold weather when paired with a hat and tights, and still allow for a picture-perfect transition into Easter.

For kids, sateen and graphic tees Maria Magealano, owner of Spoiled Rotten boutique, provided some insight about how children can stay both warm and fashionable this season.

“Plum and eggplant are especially prominent this year,” she said, “as are more traditional holiday colors in velvet and sateen fabrics.”

For young girls, knits for layering with tights or leggings are particularly popular because the outfit provides both comfort and warmth.

A hot item for boys — the graphic tee. Despite the shifting weather, Magealano said boys tend to wear T-shirts year round.

“They’re great for fall and winter because you can still layer with them,” she said.

There are three new fish in the University of California, San Diego’s acclaimed resident percussion “pool,” better known as Red Fish Blue Fish (RFBF). Eager to flash their fins, they are Leah Bowden, Eric Derr and Jennifer Torrence, who performed with the group publicly for the first time Nov. 18 in the Conrad Prebys Concert Hall.

Others in the prestigious ensemble are director Steven Schick, Ross Karre, Stephen Solook, Dustin Donahue and Bonnie Whiting Smith. Bowden, Derr and Torrence come from The University of California, Santa Cruz, McGill University in Montreal and Oberlin Conservatory of Music, respectively.

RFBF joined pianist Aleck Karis in performance of John Cage’s 1943 “Amores,” which includes, among others, prepared piano, nine tomtoms, seven wood blocks and pod rattle. Also on the program are Cage and Lou Harrison’s “Double Music” and Iannis Xenakis’ 1989 “Okho.”

Following the interval vocalist Susan Narucki performed George Crumb’s 45-minute, 2004 song cycle, “The Winds of Destiny,” subtitled “Songs of Strife, Love, Mystery, and Exultation.” Narucki’s collaborators are Karis, Schick and RFBF. The songs are drawn from American Civil War songs, spirituals and folk songs.

“The work is part of a larger project of the composer, in which he’s been setting traditional American songs for female voice, percussion quartet and amplified piano,” Narucki said. “For example, ’Mine Eyes Have Seen the

Glory’ could be very, well, corny. But by asking the singer to sing in a ghostly, remote way and having the percussion and piano evoke the sounds of a battlefield long after the war is over, we get a poignant and moving portrait of the loss of war.

“In the spiritual, ‘Twelve Gates into the City,’ the percussion and piano sound like a city full of churches, whose bells ring and overlap, full of joy and energy. In ‘Shenandoah’ the voice sings that beautiful tune softly and slowly, while the percussion and piano surround it with a haze of sound that’s as open and expansive as that big flowing river,” Narucki said.

According to Schick, RFBF serves as a laboratory for the exploration of new percussion works. They tour regularly to such places as New York’s Bang on a Can Festival, Paris’ Agora Festival and Mexico City’s Centro des Bellas Arts. Pulitzer Prize-winner Crumb, 81, is one of the most frequently performed living American composers.

Out with a stigma and in with new fashions Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas While sufferers of diseases like cancer or diabetes must undergo the difficulties of their respective treatments, their conditions are generally met with sympathy and understanding from those around them.

But one in six adults and almost one in 10 children suffer from a diagnosable mental illness — and for many of them, the stigma associated with their illness can be as great a challenge as the disease itself. Fortunately, some very caring people are working to stop the misconceptions and put an end to the bias.

Notable actress Glenn Close recognizes that post-traumatic stress syndrome and bipolar disorder are diseases just like cancer and diabetes, but come with an added burden of stigma. Her own sister, Jessie Close, has been diagnosed as bipolar, and Jessie’s son has schizo-affective disorder. The Close sisters have started the “Bring Change 2 Mind” campaign to spread awareness about mental illness and to erase the stigma that surrounds it. The campaign

includes the website www.Bring Change2Mind.org, TV spots and public appearances.

The sisters spoke at “An Evening of Change,” the International Bipolar Foundation (IBF) event held recently at the Grand Del Mar. The evening started with a cocktail reception featuring “Change Artist” (magician) Kevin Viner. Later, in the Capella Room, the program began with songs by Paige Farnsworth, who is both a lovely singer and a victim of bipolar disease. IBF President Muffy Walker welcomed the guests and introduced Libby Hewes, who read her prize-winning essay about eradicating the stigma that she, a bipolar disorder victim, has had to endure.

A dinner of pan-seared barramundi followed, and — keeping with the theme of change — guests were treated to “A Magical Transformation,” an amazing stage act in which performers David and Dania, through a rapid-fire series of scenes, changed their outfits repeatedly (and instantly) in seemingly impossible ways right before viewers’ eyes. (You may know this team from their numerous TV, Las Vegas and cruise ship appearances.)

National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Director Dr. Thomas Insel introduced Glenn Close, Jessie Close and Calen Pick. Their keynote presentation, done on a very personal and revealing level, raised the audience’s awareness of the unfair stigma that society needs to erase.

The elegant event concluded with a

very successful “Fund-a-Need” pledge solicitation by auctioneer Steve Hamann.

••• Stylish ladies (and a few guys) gathered at Lee Posnock’s beautiful La Jolla Scenic Drive South home last Friday for a Yigal Azrouël Trunk Show. The famed clothing designer was there in person — he’s the brother of La Jollan Miriam Smotrich, who hosted the event with Lee Posnock. On display at this “one-time pop-up shop” were women’s ready-to-wear scarves, belts and handbags, as well as some menswear and accessories. Guests clearly loved the selections. They bought lots of beautiful dresses and other items, and 10 percent of the sales benefited the Ronald McDonald House of San Diego. They also got to enjoy wines, champagne and a buffet lunch with gourmet delicacies styled by Giuseppe Fine Catering (well known for their artistic creations).

From camera to canvas Local lady brings travels to La Jolla gallery

BY WILL BOWEN | VILLAGE NEWS The Fiore Del Mare (Italian for “Flower of the Sea”) Gallery is a cozy and quaint two-roomed gallery, furnished with colorful paintings and Louis XIV-style furniture. The address is 1295 Prospect Place, Suite 109, but it is actually found on Rosalyn Street — a one-way alley located between The Prospect Rug Store and Tadahashi Sushi Restaurant.

Fiore Del Mare is owned and operated by Jaci (pronounced “Jay—cee”) Leigh Smith, a beautiful, stylish and talented La Jollan who could easily be mistaken for a fashion model. Fiore Del Mar Gallery originally started as Jaci’s personal painting studio, but about two years ago she transformed it into a gallery. She has a show of 19 oil paintings, which she describes as “contemporary Impressionism.” They are romantic and brightly colored landscapes, sunsets, flowers and travel destinations, which invoke a sense of longing and nostalgia.

“I like to exaggerate the color,” she says. “My paintings aren’t blurry like traditional Impressionism, but neither do they have the clarity of a photograph.”

Jaci derives her inspiration from her love of world travel. She takes her camera with her on her trips and looks for beautiful places to photograph. When she gets back home she paints these places with the photographs and her memories as the source point.

Other than Paris, her favorite travel destination is the Amalfi Coast in Italy, especially Portofino and the Isle of Capri, where she someday hopes to buy a villa and live. One of her paintings in the show depicts the village of Capri as seen from her hotel balcony at sunset. Another shows the villa she wants to own. For her

next trip abroad she plans to go to Dubai in Saudi Arabia, where she will sandboard through the dunes, towed behind camels. After that, she’ll head to Tanzania for a safari and elephant ride.

Jaci started painting about 14 years ago at the urging of her father, a businessman living in Hawaii, who is an abstract painter in his spare time. For the last 10 years she has been the private student of Concetta Antico, who is associated with the Salon of Art and the Petite Salon in Mission Hills.

Jaci’s favorite painters are Monet and Antico, her teacher. Unlike some artists, Jaci does not have a regular schedule for painting — she paints at any time she feels inspired, day or night. She is always working on four or five paintings at a time, and picks up where she left off depending on her mood.

Jaci was born in Salt Lake City, Utah.

She and her two brothers worked in a

family grocery business, which was founded by their grandfather in the 1930s. By the age of 16, Jaci was balancing the ledgers of 10 stores from Texas to New Mexico. At 18, she went to college at Pepperdine University, where she graduated with a degree in business.

Jaci describes herself as a “clothes queen.” She has more than 150 pairs of shoes and all her closets are packed full of European fashion. Her favorite place to shop locally for clothes is “Matti’d” in Del Mar, for whom she sometimes models. Her favorite items are European designer jeans, halter tops, showy fun jewelry and handmade Italian sandals.

Jaci has three dogs: a golden doodle she calls “Mini Pony” but is named “Bella” and two shitzus, Oliver and Jasmine.

Jaci’s favorite place in the world to eat is Puny’s Restaurant in Portofino, Italy, where she likes to savor “pasta papa della Portofino,” a type of thick noodle pasta with a mix of red and green sauce, made in accordance with a secret family recipe.

Locally, Jaci likes to go to “Bull and Bear,” located at 8008 Girard Ave. overlooking the Cove, where they have three of her paintings on exhibit. When she is not paining, shopping, dining or walking her dogs, Jaci likes to work on restoring her dream car — a 1953 butter cream-colored Jaguar XK120.

Jaci Smith is a delightful young lady living the ideal La Jolla lifestyle of travel, art, fashion and romance. She adheres to the philosophy — “live every day like it’s your last.”

Fiore Del Mare is open by appointment only, but will soon be open regular hours on weekends. For more information visit www.Fioredelmare.com or call (858) 551-7559 or (858) 6994692 or email jcsunshine@mac.com.

Sam Zien dishes out advice, not food

BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS

“ “ “

Emmy Award-winning foodie Sam Zien, more commonly known as “Sam the Cooking Guy,” made a stop in La Jolla on Nov. 16, but the Discovery Health cooking show star didn’t cook. He did what he does best, rather — keep the crowd laughing by delving into discussion about his life and journey to stardom.

Sure, the casual cooker’s interesting recipes and how-to books have made him a household name around San Diego, but he came up with the idea of being a cooking show star, surprisingly, before he ever knew how to cook. Anyone can hit the bookstore to get a hold of his famed recipes — mashed potato tacos, barbecue chicken pizza and Cap’n Crunch-seared tuna, to name a few. But a better way to fill you in on his visit to the Garfield Theatre, as part of the 2010 San Diego Jewish Book Fair, would be to share the words of wisdom and lessons on life he shared last week.

Who could have said it better?

On coming up with the idea of a cooking show:

“I saw how the local news brought in local chefs, and thought ‘That’s a good idea,’ but they actually made things look so complicated. I wanted to make things people could actually make at home. One problem — I didn’t cook.”

“Sam the Cooking Guy” made a stop in La Jolla on Nov. 16 to dish out advice, not food.

On learning how to cook:

“Cooking is like riding a bike.

The more you do it, the better you get. That’s life. You don’t want to be there on a surgeon’s first day … If you want to get good at cooking, skip the books.

Get yourself a cooking show.”

“

On being Jewish and cooking with bacon:

“If you believe in bacon, you know God made bacon … I want to believe in a God who favors a person with a good heart even if they eat bacon …

On cooking with Kosher salt: What’s in your heart is more “It isn’t supposed to make food important than what’s in your salty; it’s supposed to make food stomach.” taste like it should … Kosher salt On punctuality: has no equal. When a recipe calls for salt, they mean Kosher “My wife always taught me if salt, not table salt.” you are on time, you’re late.”

Of sponges and chimps Doing it Better Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. Do you sometimes wonder why we have so much violence, so many wars, gang fighting, genocide? Well, I know: I saw it on TV on National Geographic.

Using underwater photography, cameras focused on a rock with a large sponge attached to the top of it. Next to it, a small sponge started to grow on the rock — the larger sponge looked noticeably uncomfortable, leaned more and more toward the smaller sponge and started emitting small bits of a cloudy substance towards it.

After a few days or weeks (it was a time-lapse camera), as the smaller sponge got bigger, the large sponge

leaned way over, blasting its neighbor with a thick cloud of something obviously toxic, making the small sponge tumble off the rock. The remaining sponge straightened itself out and continued to keep vigil over its territory. I could anthropomorphize further and add it looked proud of its victory.

On another National Geographic special, some chimps were having a peaceful afternoon. The tribe was getting quite large, so half of it split off and started a group a few trees away. As soon as the new group found its own territory, a battle began between the formerly congenial chimps now fighting with and screaming at their newly minted enemies, territoriality leading to violence. This apparently is common in many species.

We are genetically linked to our primate cousins, sharing some 98 percent of our genes with them.

How much DNA we have in common with sponges, I do not know.

But as every living thing on earth is linked in some fashion, we are also related to sponges if we go back far enough in time.

What do these two stories tell us?

That we are programmed to act out our territorial imperative?

In a way, the answer is “yes.” To wit: our world history. From tribes fighting in Africa to terrorist attacks, we seem doomed to continue our sponge heritage. Are we equally programmed to seek the adrenaline rush we get when we slow down to get a glimpse of the accident on the highway or watch, mesmerized and horrified, the evening news showing another atrocity somewhere in the world?

Whether public beheadings where crowds gathered and cheered or public burnings at the stake of socalled witches, people have shown a morbid curiosity dating back to Roman times.

Why the popularity of violent

movies with vampires, ghosts, monsters and evil men wreacking havoc on our screens? I turn away from these scenes, as do many of my friends, but obviously, a large number of people show an appetite for this kind of fare. Perhaps it is to reassure ourselves that we are not the ones in that scene — that we are safe, just looking from the outside.

The adrenaline rush from seeing scary or violent movies is a primitive response mostly found in young people. The hippocampus, not yet fully developed until the mid-1920s, is the seat of impulse control and rational decision making, hence the preponderance of risky behaviors in that age group and also the vicarious excitement felt at experiencing emotionally-laden events.

Our society is promoting violence with our movies and video games, much of it geared toward children.

Studies have shown that when children are shown violent scenes, they tend to be more aggressive. When children are shown videos of caring and compassionate people, they treat others with tolerance and forgiveness. Those who are shown neutral scenes do not change in behavior. Knowing this behooves us to demonstrate kindness and to influence the media to promote the same, at least to our children.

Jonas Salk came to my class at San Diego State University and told my students that we are in the process of evolving into a more civilized society — in which the human race will act more civilly, more ethically, with more compassion and tolerance, and with good education for all. That, according to him, has already begun with us, with you, with your friends, with intelligent and mentally healthy people who abhor violence and only want peace and the opportunity to work, to contribute and to make it a better world for all. Let us hope this will keep spreading.

CONTINUED FROM Page 10 dental. Peters calls this spiritual approach “standing in the presence of nature.”

Kelman said he thinks the impressionists were basically “nature worshippers” who saw God in nature. He likes to quote William Wendt’s statements: “What nature God has wrought” and “Here the heart of man becomes impressionable.”

But Kelman also said he thinks they were systematic and concerned with method. He mentions the “Sketchbook of William Wendt,” dated Sept. 11, 1899, which he has at the gallery. In it, Wendt gives a numerical value to the quality of light every 15 minutes throughout the day.

If you come to this show and spend some time looking at the California Impressionists’ paintings, they will change the way you see. When you leave the gallery, you may find yourself admiring the plays on light or shadows on leaves of trees, feeling grateful for the wonderful glow that baths our city.

The Spanish Colonial home and its two detached guesthouses were designed for California indoor/outdoor living and enjoy views of ocean, Village and coastline, as well as the exotic landscaping and acres of dedicated open space that surround them. The location is tucked away and private, but is only about a mile from everything La Jolla is famous for, it’s Village, beaches, shopping and restaurants.
