Gray whales make their yearly appearance

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS

It’s that time again — time when San Diego residents don layers, pile into a boat and roll out to sea, all in the hope of catching a glimpse of one of the most spectacular migrations in the animal world. It’s time to watch some whales.

Birch Aquarium, partnering with San Diego Harbor Excursion, is one of several options residents have for whalewatching this year. Featuring narration by naturalists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, cruises happen twice daily and last 3½ hours. Observers are guaranteed to see a whale, even if it doesn’t happen the first time around. Staci Shaut, coordinator for the whale-watching program at Birch, said guests are issued a ticket for another cruise if they don’t catch a good look at a whale. Gray whales are the main attraction, since it’s their migration season, but observers can also expect to see dolphins, squid and sunfish.

In past seasons, passengers have also been treated to other whale species. Fin whales, sperm whales, minkes, orcas and

Costly permitting fees and water monitoring requirements for over-water fireworks displays may put an end to annual community fireworks shows such as the Fourth of July display at La Jolla Cove, Ocean Beach’s fireworks off the pier and “Big Bay Boom” in San Diego Bay, said Mayor Jerry Sanders in a press conference Friday, Dec. 10.

A September proposal by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) suggests fireworks show organizers would need a national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) permit for any public display of fireworks over a body of water. This

requirement would be the first of its kind in the nation.

In order to obtain the permit, organizers of fireworks shows would be required to implement a so-called “best management practices” (BMP) plan to clean up post-show debris in the water and to submit an event cleanup report to the RWQBC. The permit, based on the statewide fee for NPDES permits, would be less than $1,500 per year. However, Sanders and organizers of community fireworks shows estimate costs for the entire process to be much higher.

In recent years, some organizers have been forced to cancel community fireworks shows because of lawsuits or

threats of legal action by environmental groups.

The San Diego RWQCB argues that fireworks contain pollutants that have the potential to adversely affect sediment and water quality.

District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner argues the “evidence is just not there.”

“A once or twice yearly event should not be regulated in this way,” she said, referring to her district’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show in La Jolla Cove.

At 10 a.m. today, Dec. 16, the RWQCB will hold a public workshop at its headquarters, located at 9174 Sky Park Court. There, staff will give details of the tentative order and address concerns.

“The Gnome in the Cave” is one of several pieces by La Jollan Sharon Hinckley that is on view at Nelson Photo, located at 7720 Fay Ave.

• La Jollan Sharon Hinckley is an acclaimed watercolorist, published author and yoga teacher of more than 10 years. Now she’s added a new item to her long list of talents — photography.

None of the images in her exhibition, which can be seen at any time through the shop’s window, have been Photoshopped in any way — even “The Gnome in the Cave,” is exactly as it was shot, bird and all.

That’s why she calls it “plein-air photography”— photographing what the eye can see.

Bertrand “Dr. Liang’s breadth of medical expertise, C. Liang extensive experience in technology evaluation and small company building and his proven development skills will all be of tremendous value to La Jolla as we seek to establish a pipeline and rebuild the company,” said Deirdre Y.

The Dr. Matthias software will allow future research studies von Herrath to be streamlined and less costly.

“Since laboratory studies can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and early stage human clinical trials can cost $10 million or more, predicting the right conditions to try is important,” said Dr. von Herrath in a recent statement.

Dr. von Herrath did his postdoctoral work at the Scripps Research Institute and is an adjunct professor of pediatrics at UCSD. • La Jolla High School senior Melissa Pouk has been named a semifinalist in the 2011 class of the Coca-Cola Scholars program.

“We have always had a passion for the environment because we love spending time out there,” she said. “But when you depend upon it for your livelihood, when your office is the outdoors, it makes you want to take extra good care of it.”

Along with running the business, taking care of their “office” is what Harrell and Teafatiller have been dedicated to since Hike Bike Kayak reopened its doors in 2007. They donate their kayaks to aid in beach cleanups, volunteer for San Diego Coastkeeper’s watershed testing program and offer more than 500 free kayak tours yearly to causes such as the Rock the Blue Auction Gala at La Jolla Country Day School.

“We’re out there on the water every day, so we see what’s going on in the environment,” said Harrell. “It’s the nature of our business, so we’re always looking for ways to help.”

Another way to help, the couple has discovered, is to help others who help. Every Thursday, Harrell and Teafatiller lend their kayaks and other equipment to Team River Runner, an organization dedicated to rehabilitating veterans returning from war with amputations or other severe injuries. Team River Runner takes veterans out, Harrell said, to “teach them that they can still do a lot of things.”

The couple has also worked with Ocean Discovery Institute (ODI), an organization that educates underserved youth from City Heights about the importance of scientific research and environmental stewardship.

Each year, ODI runs an after-school program wherein students learn about local waterways, from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean. At the end of the program, the students have an outing at the ocean during which they participate in activities such as surfing, boogie boarding and kayaking. Harrell and Teafatiller have donated the equipment and expertise for such outings for three years.

Dylan Edwards, a former kayak guide for Hike Bike Kayak who now works for Coastkeeper, said environmental education has been a big part of the couples’ contributions to the community.

“With ODI, they get students out on the water who wouldn’t get out there otherwise,” he said. “Even with their business, they talk to all of their customers about some of the local issues that our oceans are facing.”

Harrell said combining their love of the outdoors with the added bonus of education is what drew them to the business in the first place.

“Everyone we see is on vacation and having a good time, and you get to teach them about the [La Jolla ecological] reserve,” she said. “The motto of our company is that we have a captive audience for a few hours, so we try to make sure they learn something and that we impress upon them how beautiful this reserve is and how lucky we are to have it.”

City Planning Commission denies permanent barrier at Children’s Pool

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS

after the seasonal rope came down, seal activists lobbied for a year-round barrier, and the City Council approved an emergency resolution amending the current permit.

Then, in June, the mayor turned down the council’s decision, declaring that there was no emergency and the decision for a year-round barrier should go through a regular approval process. In September, however, a hearing officer approved the installation of a year-round rope against the recommendation of the LJCPA, which appealed the decision to the Planning Commission.

After three hours of emotional testimony from both sides at the appeal hearing, the commissioners weighed in on the issue.

Commissioner Tim Golba said he

In a unanimous decision, the city Planning Commission voted Dec. 9 to approve an appeal brought by the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) that denies the possibility of a year-round rope barrier at the Children’s Pool.

The Children’s Pool has been a point of contention for years in La Jolla, with advocates for human beach access butting heads with advocates for dedicating the beach solely to the seals that use the cove for sunbathing and, during the winter months, giving birth. Currently, the California coastal permit at the beach allows for a rope barrier between Dec. 15 and May 15 to protect the seals during their pupping season. But last May,

believes the barrier would encroach on coastal access because the rope would stretch across 130 feet of the 133-footwide beach.

Commissioner Michael Smiley said because the rope doesn’t strictly prohibit access to the seals, it serves as a reminder not to approach them. He fears the approval of a year-round barrier would eventually degenerate into a more permanent structure, such as a concrete wall.

Chairperson Eric Naslund said he agreed in that the rope would restrict public access to the beach. He noted that the decision was not an easy one to come to.

“I think it would be easier to settle the Palestinian-Israeli conflict than to decide if seals and people can share this beach,” he said.

farther out,” said Shaut. “The gray whales stay really close to shore, so that’s why they’re so great for whale watching.”

Each year, gray whales undertake a roughly 12,000-mile, round-trip migration from the Bering Sea to the lagoons of Baja California. Between mid-December and mid-April, more than 20,000 whales make the trip as temperatures drop and ice covers much of their food sources up north.

Females go to give birth to their calves in the lagoons and mature whales go to mate. For San Diegans, it’s a chance to witness this phenomenon that comes around only once a year.

Dylan Edwards, a former guide for Hike, Bike, Kayak, which offers a kayak whale-watching tour in La Jolla, said that although it may seem like a risky endeavor, being on a kayak near the whales is quite a thrill.

“Obviously in a kayak, you’re not as fast as you are in a boat,” he said. “On other boats, you’re out there with about 300 other people, but on a kayak, everything is peaceful and quiet. You just hear the spray of the whales. It’s really intimate.”

This year, like every year, scientists are not sure what to expect from the migrating giants. In recent years, some experts have observed a later start and end date for the gray whale migration.

Center, said this pattern of later migrations started in the 1980s when the peak of the gray whales’ journey was in late January. Now, he said, it is in early January.

Although he and other scientists are reluctant to attribute this to any one cause, theories abound. One possible hypothesis is that as temperatures rise and arctic ice doesn’t form until later in the season, gray whales may stay up north longer until their food gets scarce.

“The two symptoms we’re seeing is a later arrival here in Southern California and more calves being born farther north,” said Perryman. “Really, the whole arctic system is changing, and they’re very adaptable animals, so there are going to be shifts [in their behavior]. What the cause is, it’s tough to say.”

Queen of vampire fiction comes to Warwick’s Rescuers return beached

baby sperm whale to ocean

Author of “Interview With the Vampire” is a former La Jollan

Whale weighed approximately 3,000 pounds

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS

BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS Gerard Hall arrived at Warwick’s Books at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 8, to firm up his place in line for author Anne Rice’s 7 p.m. signing of her book “Of Love and Evil” — and he came bearing gifts.

When his time finally came, he approached the signing table and lowered to his knees. He had a stack of books for her to sign. Wearing a black sequined blazer and jeweled pendant, Rice’s eyes lit up as Hill handed her a DVD of the 1978 TV mini-series “The Dark Secret of Harvest Home” starring Bette Davis. Hall said he read on the author’s website that she wanted the DVD but couldn’t find it.

“She offered to pay me for it,” he said. “But I told her it was a gift. It’s a gift for the 30 years I’ve been reading her books.”

Rice, a former La Jollan, is most known for writing “Interview With the Vampire,” but has developed a strong following over the years for her books about witches, angels and the life of Jesus.

She moved to La Jolla in 2005 “to live in such a beautiful place,” she said. But she said although she had a stunning view from her La Jolla home, she realized her calling was the California desert, where she now resides.

A baby sperm whale came ashore at Torrey Pines State Beach late in the evening on Sunday, Dec. 12, occupying a team of rescuers from Sea World until the early morning hours.

According to SeaWorld, a private citizen alerted law enforcement late Sunday night that a whale had washed up. Shortly thereafter, around 9:30 p.m., a group of about 20 rescuers, trainers and veterinarians from the SeaWorld Animal Rehabilitation Program arrived at the beach near the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Park. Dave Koontz, director of communications for Sea World, said rescuers were initially concerned with determining whether the animal was sick and was trying to beach, or if it had just lost its way. The waves, according to the rescuers, were strong and Koontz said the whale was having difficulty pushing itself out on its own.

Veterinarians injected the whale, estimated to be about six months old, with antibiotics and steroids to help increase its strength and stamina. Then, slightly before midnight, the team began efforts to push the whale, which weighed about 3,000 pounds, back out to sea.

Rescuers said the whale, thought to be a male, was very cooperative and energetic, and after they had

pushed it about a quarter of a mile from the shoreline, it started to swim on its own.

“It made a decision on its own to swim away, which is a very good sign,” said Koontz. “That’s something that would be indicative of an animal that found itself too close to the beach and got itself trapped by the surf versus an animal that was sick and just washed ashore.”

Sperm whales live in all the waters of the world, but tend to stay in deeper water. Koontz said Sunday’s incident was an exceptionally rare one.

“It’s very unusual for us,” he said.

“Some of our rescue team members who have been here for 25 years said that this was the first time they could remember coming to the aid of a live sperm whale.”

Animal rescuers will keep an eye out for the whale, with the hope that it found its way back to its mother.

The SeaWorld Animal Rehabilitation Program rescues, treats and releases stranded animals. Koontz said the goal of the program is to return animals to the wild.

“Our primary focus through our rescue program is to help the animal, whether it’s an animal we are able to help on the beach or an animal that is brought into our facilities for care,” he said. “Ultimately, we want to then get it back out into its natural environment.”

Torreys sweep their way to Division IV state title

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS The La Jolla Country Day girls volleyball team made second consecutive Division IV state championship look easy. The Torreys didn’t lose a set in the playoffs and finished the season with a sweep of Atherton Sacred Heart Prep in the championship game played at San Jose State University on Dec. 4.

“We were just much bigger, stronger, faster than they were,” head coach Peter Ogle said. “It’s very unique to have this much talent in a Division IV game.”

LJCD (33-3) relied on its remarkable seniors to lead the way all year, and the title match was no different. The unrivaled group included Lauren Birks, Gillian Howard, Mollie Rogers, Chloe Mathis and Maggie Whitney.

“It was our last game for us five seniors and we really came together as a team and went out trying to win it all,” Rogers said.

Birks, who overcame an early season injury, led the team with eight digs

against Sacred Heart Prep (24-11).

Howard contributed eight blocks and nine kills.

Rogers had nine kills to go along with three blocks. Junior Kendall Peterkin blasted eight kills and junior Maya Hood smacked four. Mathis had an eye-popping 31 assists.

LJCD’s terrific depth was evident as Rogers, Howard, Peterkin and Mathis were named all-CIF performers with Mathis bringing home Player of the Year honors.

“These past two years are the two best teams this school has ever had,” Ogle said. “It will be very difficult to meet this level of play again. We’re a small school and it’s a very unique group.”

After playing together successfully for so many years, there was a little sadness about the end of an era.

“It was definitely sad playing our last match together but it was a great way to end our four-year run,” said Rogers, who will be playing at Yale next year.

“I’ll never forget it.”

SPORTS Bishop’s earns state bid after beating Parker in Division V finals

BY LEE CORNELL | VILLAGE NEWS The Bishop’s School football team capped a brilliant 13-0 season with a 20-9 victory over Francis Parker in the Division V CIF Finals at Mesa College on Friday, Dec. 10.

“We just played with a lot of heart.

That’s all it came down to,” senior kicker and offensive lineman Kyle Gantz said. “We knew we could match up with them. The whole year we’ve been working really hard and it paid off out there.”

Based on their dominating season, the Knights now have the opportunity to play for a state title. Bishop’s was selected to play in the Division IV State Bowl Friday, Dec. 17, at the Home Depot Center in Carson.

Battling in its first close game in months, Bishop’s used several key plays to secure the win. Holding onto a 20-9 lead in the fourth quarter, Francis Parker marched down the field and had a first and goal on the three-yard line.

After big stops on first and second down, Knights’ linebacker Micah Seau came flying in to make a tremendous play that sent Lancers running back Kenny Brookins head over heels and short of the goal line.

“I saw the hole and I felt the play coming,” Seau said. “I knew I had to capitalize and make that play so we could get the win.”

The Lancers attempted a fake field goal on fourth down but were stuffed again and Bishop’s was eventually able to run out the clock for the win.

After a slow offensive start to the game, the Knights got on the scoreboard first when running back Alec Fisher scored on a nine-yard touch-

down run with 1:02 left in the first quarter to make it 7-0. Parker answered with a Matt Wile 39-yard field goal halfway through the second quarter to cut the lead to 7-3.

Bishop’s used some trickery on its next possession. Facing a fourth and three, quarterback Joey Moreno tossed a short pass to wide receiver Adam Malkiewicz, who was clearly short of the first down. But to everyone’s surprise Malkiewicz pitched the ball to Fisher before being dragged down and the speedster broke free for a 38-yard touchdown and 14-3 lead with 3:04 to go in the half.

“We put that play in this week,” Malkiewicz said.

Fisher added that he was surprised by the gutsy play call.

“When it was fourth and three and

my coach called it (the hook-andladder) I thought he was nuts, but that’s why I’m not the coach,” he said.

The Lancers had a good chance to score just before halftime but junior defensive back Dominique Love blocked their attempted field goal with 14 seconds left.

Fisher added his third touchdown of the game when he sauntered into the end zone for a 52-yard scoring run early in the third quarter to make it 20-3.

Brookins scored for Parker on a 6yard run with 4:54 left in the third to make 20-9, which turned out to be the final score.

The Knights will face the Stockton Brookside Christian Knights (12-0) at 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 17, at the Home Depot Center for a chance to be crowned Division IV state champions.

pine’s life

Expert tells how to select and care for a real Christmas tree

BY MIKE BONDI La Jolla residents are very lucky to live amidst beautiful torrey pines, one of the rarest pine tree species.

However, the month of December brings an influx of a very different tree species to La Jolla — the Christmas tree!

I, on the other hand, consider myself lucky to live in the Pacific Northwest, the world’s largest producer of the Douglas fir and the only region in the world that produces the noble fir Christmas tree.

In fact, 90 percent of the trees sold in California are grown in Oregon and Washington.

As a professor of forestry at Oregon State University, I have worked with farmers in Clackamas County, Ore., the heart of Christmas tree country, for the last 33 years and enjoy being in the field where Christmas trees are grown. But quite frequently, I find that most people aren’t familiar with the journey their Christmas tree makes to get to their home for the holidays.

Christmas trees bring a wonderful sense of holiday nostalgia and fragrance into the home. To clear up a common myth, however, Christmas trees are not cut from a forest or the top of an already existing tree.

Real Christmas trees are grown on sustainable farms, just like San Diego cultivates avocados or citrus, so they do not threaten natural forests, and growers typically plant one or more trees to replace every tree that is harvested.

While the end product appears only briefly, growing the trees — planting, fertilizing, pruning, shearing, etc. — is a task that takes years before the trees ever reach La Jolla.

That’s great news for residents in La Jolla, as Christmas trees are still being shipped to local lots. It’s only a matter of a few days before you receive freshly harvested trees.

How to pick a fresh tree A young La Jollan plays in a flooded street on Dec. 12 after Residents stand around and watch a hydrant emit a 15-foot a fire hydrant burst.

SUMMER IN DECEMBER For residents around Draper Street, Sunday’s unusual summer-like weather was cooled off by an unexpected flood.

Peter Green managed to get some photos of the Dec. 12 incident — a 15-foot-high geyser of water coming from a hydrant on Draper Street. He said he was working at home when he heard water, but it seemed stronger than that of someone watering the garden.

represented sometimes and even despised. You have to face that there will be some people who don’t like your work, don’t think it’s very good and who will say so publicly. Sometimes they aren’t too nice. But you can’t answer these people. You can only be grateful for your success, for your audience and accept the inevitable rejection with grace. After all, you have much to be thankful for.

So, how do you make sure your family’s not only selecting the most beautiful tree on the lot, but also the freshest? Try the smell-andsnap test.

First, grab a bundle of branches and give them a gentle crush to release the smell of the needles. If it has a musty or mildew smell, look

on the recent popularity of the genre?

I keep an ice chest for Diet Coke in my room. I love it when its really, really cold and icy. I stretch out on the couch with a soft pillow and watch TV on a 65” screen — best quality, best color, et al, that I can arrange.

for another one.

Next, remove a needle from the tree and bend it between your fingers. If it snaps similarly to a carrot, the tree is fresh. If the needles are pliable and bend, that may mean the tree is not as fresh.

Lastly, you’ll want to inspect the tree for signs of dryness or deterioration: excessive needle loss, discolored foliage and wrinkled bark are signs that you may have unwanted needles in your home before the holiday is over.

Proper care With the proper care, your tree should stay green and healthy throughout the holidays, minimizing clean-up and maximizing the joy of your holiday.

The first crucial care step is making a fresh cut on the bottom of the tree in order to open its pores.

Don’t worry about making the cut yourself. Have the staff at your local lot cut off at least one halfinch, and put the tree in water as soon as possible.

Lots of fresh water is a must — daily. An average tree may consume between a quart and a gallon of water per day. If the water level drops below the cut end of the trunk, a seal will form and no more water will be absorbed by the tree unless another fresh cut is made. So, don’t forget to add water every day.

It’s the only thing I have any talent for at all in this world. I can’t dance or sing or play the violin. And the meaning of my life depends on my writing and offering books to my readers.

La Jolla dentist introduces canine therapy to dentistry Harlin named editor of La Jolla Village News

Chihuahua mix puts patients at ease by being at ease herself

BY KENDRA HARTMANN | VILLAGE NEWS There are few mundane tasks that strike more fear in the hearts of otherwise reasonable people than a routine visit to the dentist.

People who might not bat an eyelash at a violent horror movie may resort to immediate panic at the thought of someone rooting around in their mouths.

That’s why Dr. Tracy Taddey of La Jolla Dentist, located at 7946 Ivanhoe Ave., introduced Mona to her dental practice — a 10-pound, Chihuahua-dachshund mix who has earned the title of “dental therapist.”

Last April, Taddey went to Helen Woodward Animal Center with her mother on a whim.

Not planning to adopt, they spent the afternoon idly observing the dogs up for adoption.

A small, blond dog caught Taddey’s eye. Rescued from a puppy mill in Los Angeles, the mutt was about a year old and had already had a litter of puppies. Taddey liked that the dog was so mellow and, being of Italian descent, she thought it was amusing the little dog had been named Mona.

She left the shelter without the pup, but returned the next day. Though there had recently been a large adoption campaign, Mona was still available, and Taddey, taking it as a sign, didn’t hesitate to bring her home.

“She was only a year old and had already been through so much,” said Taddey. “Her little life drama was something that attracted me to her. Shelter dogs are so grateful to get a loving home.”

Mona sits in attention on a patient’s lap at La Jolla Dentist, a practice located at 7946 Ivanhoe Ave. and run by Drs. Tracy and John Taddey, a father-daughter duo.

Taddey decided she wanted a dog that could go everywhere with her, so she started bringing Mona to the dental office, where she practices with her father, Dr. John Taddey. When a nervous patient noticed the dog and asked if Mona could sit on the patient’s lap during a procedure, Taddey got an idea: She had heard of dogs being used in hospitals and doctors’ offices to calm patients and lift their spirits, and thought the same theory could be applied to dentistry.

“Nobody likes going to the dentist, but there’s something about having a little warm body on your lap that just relaxes you,” she said. “It really reduces the anxiety of the patients and helps turn their moods from a dreadful and anxious one to a happy one.”

Though Mona has been in her current role as a canine dental therapist for only seven months, about half of Taddey’s patients already ask for

her assistance. When Mona’s presence is requested, Taddey puts a quilt (made for the dog by a grateful client) on the lap of the patient, where Mona curls up and takes a nap.

Unfazed by the various sounds of a typical dentist’s office — the loathed drilling, scraping and aspirating — the little dog puts her patients at ease by being at ease herself, Taddey said.

“They see that she’s asleep and then they think, ‘Well, I guess I should just relax,’” said Taddey, adding that she did not train Mona, but that quietly napping on strangers’ laps comes naturally to the dog.

As for her clients, Taddey said she has never been reproached for having a hound in the office.

“There’s been a lot of positive feedback. People ask for her,” Taddey said. “Anything we can do to lessen the anxiety of the patient and make it a better experience is great.”

San Diego Community Newspaper Group recently promoted Claire Harlin to the position of editor of La Jolla Village News.

Harlin, a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, joined San Diego Community Newspaper Group in September as the newsroom’s assistant editor.

Harlin has prior experience serving with community papers, having worked for The South Philly Review and Spirit Community Newspapers, both in Philadelphia.

Previously, she was co-founder and assistant editor of The Fugitive Post, a publication focusing on crime in Austin, Texas.

She supervised a staff of nearly 200 as Claire Harlin the editor-in-chief of The Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT-Austin. Harlin was featured in the June 2008 issue of Editor & Publisher magazine for starting one of the first successful student multimedia departments and blogs, and she has appeared on CNN, Ireland’s RTE “Prime Time” and local TV news programs in Austin. She also has experience traveling to Mexico City in 2006 to cover the country’s presidential elections.

“Claire is a top talent and is a very capable editor,” said John Gregory, newspaper group executive editor. “She brings us new vision and exciting concepts for news coverage and presentation. It will be fun to see how she molds the Village News into a more progressive and highly-detailed newspaper in the future.”

SOCIETY A sizzling symphony centennial celebration Starry, starry nights

with Vincent Andrunas The San Diego Symphony (SDS) has grown up over the years. It has had a century to do it, and recently marked its 100th anniversary with one of the grandest galas San Diego has ever seen. Having experienced ups and downs and some real growing pains, it has emerged as one of the country’s top city orchestras, receiving the League of American Orchestras’ prestigious Tier 1 ranking.

It’s growth and success were honored with an elegant and exuberant celebration. Centennial Gala Chairs Joyce and Craig Grosvenor (the current generation of a family that has actively supported the symphony for decades) devoted most of the past year to event planning and arrangements.

SDS typically holds its annual galas in early October, but the Opus 2010 Centennial Gala was held Dec. 3, the Saturday evening closest to the 100th anniversary of the symphony’s first performance, which took place Dec. 6, 1910.

The party was held downtown at the U.S. Grant hotel (which celebrated its own centennial this October).

Formally-attired guests gathered in the Presidential Foyer for a festive reception featuring hors d’oeuvres, special champagne, cocktails and cabaret music. They entered the

Presidential Ballroom — where that first performance took place 100 years ago — for a sold-out (300-seat) dinner. The ballroom was beautifully decorated in purple (the traditional commemorative color for centennials), with grand floral displays on every table. An amuse bouche (Dungeness crab tartlet) was served, followed by two varieties of inventive salads. Executive Director Ward Gill spoke of the tremendous highs (and the few lows) of the symphony’s first century, and of its performance venue (Copley Symphony Hall) and superior supporters — many of whom attended that evening. He thanked Centennial Chairs Joan and Irwin Jacobs and Honorary Chairs Joye Blount and Jessie Knight, and introduced Lael and Jay Kovtun as the longest subscribers (they’ve been attending since 1958). The Grosvenors were gifted with something in a blue Tiffany box, and their children, Dakota and Tristan, were given gift cards from South Coast Plaza for enduring their parents’ dedication to this event for the past year.

Board Chair Mitch Woodbury said that while they’d been on a dark and bumpy road in the past, SDS has posted an operating surplus for each of the last 12 years. He asked everyone to turn on their cell phones and PDAs and enter the date of the next Opus gala: October 1.

After a perfectly-prepared beef tenderloin entrée followed by dessert, chocolate truffles and coffee, diners walked (or rode the provided shuttle bus) to the Balboa Theatre, a short block and a half away. A thousand additional guests filled the theatre (a mere 86 years old, but beautiful after its recent $26 million renovation). The musical program began with

Beethoven’s First Symphony (which SDS played in its first concert 100 years ago). Next was Dvorak’s popular Cello Concerto, featuring — courtesy of Charles and Tanya Brandes — the incredibly talented Yo-Yo Ma. He looked serene while waiting to perform, and when playing, his eyes turned heavenward or toward concertmaster Jeff Thayer. He rarely glanced at his cello. His notes, at times exceptionally subtle, later built to a great crescendo. The entire audience rendered an enthusiastic and sustained standing ovation. After embracing Thayer, Ma took a bow with Music Director Jahja Ling, who conducted.

The 800 guests attending the after-party were handed $500 bills as they re-entered the U.S. Grant.

While regrettably fake, the bills were honored for play at blackjack, roulette and other gaming tables, with winnings later redeemable for late-night prize-drawing tickets. Just off the lobby, a meet-and-greet gave VIPs an opportunity to visit with the celebrated and refreshingly congenial cellist. Downstairs, throughout the richly-decorated vaulted basement venue, bands dispensed dance music and bartenders poured furiously, while fine cheeses and decadent desserts nourished the late night revelers.

Joyce and Craig Grosvenor’s yearlong efforts made this event an overthe-top success. Their work at an end, he sat her in a chair, removed her stiletto heels and replaced them with a pair of comfortable hotel slippers.

Then they rode the elevator to their room for a well-deserved night’s rest.

Meanwhile, SDS musicians danced till the very end, proving that classical musicians can — and do — boogie.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS With the rise of technology and social networking, people are increasingly living through their fingertips.

Texting, Facebook messaging, GPS mapping and even real-time, close-toin-person conversing via webcams and mobile devices have become commonplace.

Alice Vysata, a 32-year-old La Jollan, jumped on the social networking bandwagon for an increasingly popular reason — to find love. Working in Las Vegas in the real estate development field and having little time for the bar scene, the self-described workaholic started joining dating websites several years ago, but found online dating to be a “hit or miss process.”

“A lot of sites are what many would call meat markets, for lack of a better word,” said Vysata, who moved to La Jolla about three years ago when construction in Vegas took a downward turn. “There are so many people on those sites that people jump around from person to person, and it seems to never last.”

Vysata, who has particular interests in piano, classical literature and history, said it was hard to find someone who really enjoys the things she enjoys.

So Vysata, looking to embark on a new career, took matters into her own hands and developed a new dating website that launched last month. Instead of matching couples based on physical attributes — height, weight, etc. — the

Alice Vysata, owner and founder of Heart and Hobby, www.heartandhobby.com, is offering a special promo code for readers of the Village News. The code, “LAJOLLA30,” gets site visitors a 30-day free trial.

site connects people based on interests, no matter how unique those interests are. Each person who joins the site, www.heartandhobby.com, can join up to 25 interest groups. If a group doesn’t already exist, users can create their own.

“Ask any single man or woman. It takes more than a shared ZIP Code and a few keywords to strike up a lasting relationship,” said Vysata. “No questionnaire, algorithm or drop-down list can encompass everything that makes an individual unique.”

Heart and Hobby is just starting to become populated with users, mainly in Southern California, and Vysata hopes the site’s popularity will soon spread nationwide. She just shot a TV commercial in La Jolla, which will air on a number of cable channels. The 15- and 30-second productions stage what Vysata describes as a “comical twist on the typical disastrous first date versus a successful date where two people share common interests.”

The commercials were filmed just around the corner from Vysata’s office at Aquamoree, located at 1250 Prospect St. The restaurant, which just opened its doors in October, will

“The owner of Zel’s was telling us that some of his single patrons, women, were saying that there is nowhere to go in the La Jolla-Del Mar area to meet other like-minded singles,” said Vysata. “So we are excited to be starting these kinds of regular singles gatherings in the area for those of us who are not tied down.”

Doctor uses art to heal the soul

BY WILL BOWEN | VILLAGE NEWS Dr. John Diamond thinks that the act of painting can be healing to the body, mind and soul of the painter. But Diamond also believes that in the future we will know how to make paintings that can heal the viewer as well as the creator. Diamond hopes that art of this nature will be placed in clinics and hospitals to facilitate patient healing by the mere act of being looked at.

Although Diamond acknowledges that there are many works of art that have powerful and moving effects on us, he says that no one before him has actually set out to create art that was deliberately made for healing purposes. Diamond considers himself a pioneer who is opening up a whole new field.

Dr. John Diamond will have a number of works, which he conA collection of Diamond’s paintings titled “Life Energy Art: siders to have healing qualities, on display at Galeria Jan, locatSEE ART, Page 12 ed at 1250 Prospect St., until Dec. 31.

Diamond was born and raised in Australia. He was trained in the western medical tradition and became a psychiatrist. His first job was at a mental hospital where he took the unique approach of focusing on building upon the good he could find in each patient.

Diamond’s theory is that most patients “have two wheels on dry land and two stuck in the mud. My job is to get all four on dry land.” He does this by helping them find “their deep soul through opening up their creative energies.”

Over the years of his medical practice, Diamond branched out to incorporate

“La Jolla is the ultimate destination for jewelry shopping.

Where other than the ‘jewel of the California coast’ would you find jewelry designs influenced by the Southern California coast for your special someone?”

These three easy steps will have you giving the perfect jewelry gift this holiday season. Keeping you stylish, and wishing you a happy “Holly-day!”

the most fashionable gifts and best designs come from the heart.

— Holly Lauren Beedle is an established New York City designer who is now living in Southern California.

She has been designing for luxury brands and assisting in various Broadway and off-Broadway shows since her graduation from Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, where she majored in fashion design and minored in textile design.

Holly has worked for Isaac Mizrahi, Bettye Muller, Coach, Macy’s Inc. and New York & Company. She can be contacted by e-mail at yourlookbyholly@gmail.com.

all forms of healing, including alternative and holistic medicine. He founded The Arts-Health Institute and The Institute for Life Energy, has authored more than 20 books and exhibits his art and photography throughout the world.

Diamond’s exhibition at Galeria Jan is an assortment of different sized paintings, mostly in black and white, with circular flowing brush strokes, and a distinctive calligraphy feel. When he uses color, which he admits he is still learning about, it is in dense kaleidoscopic patches, which seem to have a certain depth.

Diamond said that his work is most similar to the Japanese Manga School of Painting, which derived from the Chinese Southern School of the Sung Dynasty. But Diamond has no training in these methods or any other. He is completely self taught, and humbly admits, “I have no idea what I am doing.

I don’t know how I do it or how it hap-

pens. It just happens as if it is being done through me.”

In his pamphlet “A Few Words on Art,” Diamond writes, “I am primarily a healer — not an artist. I believe that the primary purpose of art is to enhance the spirit of all.” Diamond proposes that the test of art is, “Does it help you enthusiastically, passionately, whole-heartedly, and gratefully embrace your whole life? Does it raise your Life Energy?”

Diamond says that the purpose of his paintings is, “to make it a little easier to see the spirit everywhere.” In the exhibition brochure he writes, “Viewing Life Energy Art helps to reduce stress, free up one’s breathing, and enhance Life Energy.” He says that his art points to the three important principles of “beauty, blessedness, and belovedness.”
