Putting it in parkCity tries to recover

parking funds

A pot of money to alleviate parking problemsin La Jolla has two decades of history, and Pro-mote La Jolla’s alleged mishandling of $65,323of those funds has brought the issue back intothe foreground.

The city is suing Promote La Jolla — the for-mer manager of the Village’s Business Improve-ment District — to recover $65,323 earmarkedfor parking, which was seized by a bank whenPromote La Jolla defaulted on a loan.

The city wants to return the money to itsrightful place — the La Jolla Parking & Trans-portation Fund — created in the 1990s fromdevelopers’ fees paid to mitigate congestion theirprojects would bring. Developers had paid intothe fund throughout the ’70s and ’80s.

Today, the city is sitting on approximately$300,000 in the transportation fund, waitingfor the Village to initiate ideas to use the moneyto alleviate its parking problems. In the mean-time, the city wants to recover the money Pro-mote La Jolla allegedly squandered.

The discussion surrounding the transporta-tion fund was derailed by controversy over paidparking and the downfall of Promote La Jolla,according to Joe La Cava, president of the CoastalAccess & Parking Board, formed to manage thefunds in 2004.

“Things need to settle down before peoplehave an interest in revisiting it,” La Cava said,adding there aren’t as many cars in the Villagewith the economic downturn. “Right now theredoesn’t seem to be much motivation. You have tolet the problem build-up to create a sense ofurgency.”

In the past eight years, the Coastal Access &Parking Board has used the transportation fundto encourage employees to ride the bus to La Jollaor to park in the underground parking garages.The board purchased monthly bus and parkingpasses and sold them to employees at a discount.

In the late 1990s, the city’s MetropolitanTransit System (MTS) spent $10,000 from thefund to study the feasibility of establishing apark-and-ride for La Jolla, shuttling visitorsfrom a remote lot to the Village.

The study showed the idea was not feasible,said Martin Mosier, a member of the board atthe time.

“The study said if MTS can’t make money ona bus, how can the coastal access board do it?”Mosier said.

Mosier believes installing parking meters isthe best solution to get employees’ cars off thestreets, and the only way to guarantee a steadystream of income to subsidize other programs.

“If all the parking spaces are free, then theywill all be gone,” Martin said. “The only way to do

A developer plans to convert this office building at 484 Prospect St. into a care facility forthe elderly. PAUL HANSEN | Village News

Preserving or hindering a way of life?

Plans to convert an underused officebuilding on Prospect Street — formerlypart of the old Scripps Hospital — into acare facility for the memory-impairedhas rallied next-door neighbors, who saythey see their quality of life slippingaway.

The city’s Planning Commission,meanwhile, wants the developer andneighbors to hash out their differencesand to come up with a set of conditionseveryone can live with — a goal thathasn’t happened so far.

Jeff Lubin, who has owned the prop-erty for the last five years, plans to con-vert the building at 484 Prospect St. intoa facility for 56 high-functioning resi-dents with memory problems. No med-ical care will be provided onsite. North-

star Senior Living would operate thefacility, if approved.

The Planning Commission heard bothsides argue their case April 22 and askedthe parties to return April 29 with a listof agreed-upon conditions.

“I believe you want to develop a sitethat will make you a good neighbor, andit sounds like this conversation needs tocontinue,” Planning Commissioner Den-nis Otsuji told the Lubin.

It doesn’t appear the developer andcondominium neighbors were able toagree on many conditions, however,despite an eleventh-hour meeting onApril 27 and countless prior meetings.

The developer agreed to no smokingon the premises, and agreed to mitigateodors from its commercial kitchen,according to attorney Julie Hamilton,who represents the homeowners.

“We don’t have a whole lot of agree-ment right now,” Hamilton said.

The La Jolla Community PlanningAssociation — the community’s officialplanning advisory board — had dead-locked on the project and sent a “no rec-ommendation” to the Planning Com-mission.

The City Attorney’s Office told thePlanning Commission that it couldn’tuse the elderly population as a reasonto deny the project. Seniors are a pro-tected class, according to the City Attor-ney’s Office.

In the mixed-use neighborhood alongProspect Street, the condominium own-ers live in close proximity to the officebuilding. A 22-foot-wide alley separatessome of the residents’ bedroom windows

it is to charge something.” Two years ago, parking became a pas-

sionate topic in the Village when Pro-mote La Jolla’s newly-formed Communi-ty Parking District Advisory Boardproposed paid parking in La Jolla.

Meanwhile, the Coastal Access &Parking Board had stepped down,

assuming it would fold into the parkingdistrict, La Cava said.

Last spring, La Cava saw troublebrewing, he said. La Cava said he andothers noticed that Promote La Jolla hadput $65,000 of the parking money intoa CD and that the group also had a$65,000 debt.

La Cava said he approached PromoteLa Jolla about his concern but the boardassured him it wasn’t a problem, he said.

La Cava believes it’s crucial for the city

to keep community groups accountableeven if the board is comprised of unpaidvolunteers, especially since the city istrying to push decision-making to thecommunity level.

“The city has really ramped up itsefforts to create processes, which cre-ates bureaucracy and makes it hard todo things and turns volunteers off, butwhen you’re talking about taxpayersdollars, it’s really the thing to do,” LaCava said.

from the office building. Developers converted the 1920s-era

Scripps Hospital into an office building,condominium complex and Timkenresearch laboratory in the 1980s. Theoffice building originally housed nurs-es who worked at the adjacent hospital.

Neighbors worry about their qualityof life as the result of changing fromliving next to an underused officebuilding to a year-round, 24-hour carefacility where employees, guests and

emergency vehicles come and go.Employees of the care facility report-

edly would use the shared alley — pass-ing neighbors’ windows — through-out the day and evening to access theshared, underground parking garage.

“People pay a lot of money for thesecondos,” Hamilton said, speaking onbehalf of the homeowners. “Theydon’t want red lights and sirens out-side their bedroom door each week.”

Darcy Ashley, who chairs La Jolla’sDevelopment Permit Review Commit-tee, believes the walkable neighbor-hood — with the recreation centeracross the street and modern art muse-

um down the road — is an ideal placefor the elderly, since many will nolonger own a vehicle. And the proxim-ity to the ocean may encourage familyand friends to visit more often, sheadded.

“If the coastal proximity encouragesthat to happen, what a compassionateuse,” Ashley said.

“It’s an extremely effective program,”said Connie Beardsley, the chairpersonfor the event. “They serve hundreds andhundreds of children in San DiegoCounty.”

As part of the program, park aides

lead students in second through fifthgrade on tours of the reserve and dis-cuss its geology, history and ecology asit relates to what children are learningin the classroom. Proceeds from the artsale will be used to ensure that the pro-gram remains viable, said organizers.

In addition to the sale, the festival willinclude a professionally judged plein-aircompetition with works that feature thereserve. Guests who visit the park in theweek preceding the event may see plein-air artists painting along the trails. Theevent will also feature art demonstra-tions, children’s activities, live music,

food and guided nature walks.Beardsley said “Art in the Pines” is

unique to other festivals because the arton display is entirely inspired by nature.

“We wanted to do an art event wherepeople can look at the reserve throughthe painters’ eyes and see what they seeand how they observe what’s going on,”Beardsley said.

The festival is free and a no-cost shut-tle service will be available to transportvisitors from the South Beach parkinglot to the visitor center. A day-use fee orvalid annual pass is required for all vehi-cles entering the reserve.

B.I.G. creates fire pits survey

An active group of volleyball play-ers is rallying awareness about thecity’s plan to haul away the beach firepits the city can no longer afford tomaintain.

The San Diego Beach ImprovementGroup (B.I.G.) plans to survey100,000 people in San Diego, as wellas tourists from other cities, by May20 to determine if the public supportsthe fire pits.

B.I.G. hopes supporters will donatemoney to maintain the fire pits sincethe city dropped the program from its2010-11 budget.

B.I.G. Executive Director LauraHendrickson said someone had to takethe bull by the horns on the issue.

“I’m not attached to the outcome,”Hendrickson said. “I just want to put itout there and see what happens.”

Those interested may fill out thesurvey at sandiegobig.org.

If the community shows support forthe beach fire pits, B.I.G. aims to raise$120,000 to maintain them for thenext fiscal year.

It costs the city $120,500 annual-ly to maintain the fire pits since twofull-time employees are required toclear ash and debris from the cementblocks with a front loader and dumptruck, according to the city’s Fire PitProgram website. The city set up thewebsite to raise private funds to main-tain the fire pits next year, and the sitehas garnered $2,576 so far.

B.I.G.’s overall mission is to supportbeach amenities important to the pub-lic. The group began its philanthropyin 1996 with the desire to care for theSouth Mission Beach basketball andvolleyball courts.

Since 2002, B.I.G. has spent an esti-

mated $2,000 annually on nets, linesand poles for the volleyball court, Hen-drickson said. In 1997, B.I.G. resur-faced the South Mission basketballcourt and hoops at a total cost of$8,300.

Hendrickson formed B.I.G. into anofficial non-profit in 2007. Recently,BIG surveyed Mission Beach residentsto find out whether the communitywanted more bike racks, and receiveda 50-50 response, Hendrickson said.

B.I.G. meets the second Wednes-day of the month at 7 p.m. in thePacific Beach Recreation Center at1405 Diamond St. May 12 is thenext meeting. For more informa-tion visit sandiegobig.org.

At 77, Viti brings energy, vitality to VillageEsther Viti carries three business cards. One depicts three styles of benches for the Vil-

lage’s bench dedication program. Another cardadvertises the La Jolla Town Council and its palmtree logo. Her personal business card is mauve-colored with a lady’s hat hovering above hername.

Viti is tremendously energetic for her 77 yearsof age. She was in a coma for 14 days two yearsago, but her ailment isn’t apparent in her author-itative voice and “can do” attitude.

Viti has garnered three nicknames for herself inthe 22 years she’s lived in La Jolla.

“They call me the ‘Hat Lady,’ ‘Bench Lady’ and‘Trash Lady,’” Viti said.

She earned her latest moniker five years ago forassuming the reins of the Town Council’s streetcleanups. Viti now organizes monthly cleanupsfor the Village — the second Saturday of eachmonth — as chair of the Nell Carpenter Beautifi-cation Committee.

“People are willing to do it. They just need aleader,” Viti said.

Viti’s style for spreading the word about thecleanups is to “bolt up” during public comment atcommunity meetings and through e-mails to pastvolunteers.

One volunteer asked to clean La Jolla’s streetsfor her 20 hours of court-appointed communi-ty service, which Viti agreed to and organized.Viti is looking for four others, like that volun-teer, who need community service hours.

Cleaning the streets is not Viti’s “thing,” butshe said she’s so structured and organized shecould manage anything with gusto.

Viti began coordinating the bench programin the late 1990s and she continues to leadlead it today. Locals can pay $5,000 to dedi-c at e a b e n c h t o a l ove d o n e w i t h aplaque. Viti is no longer taking names forbenches along the coast, but space is stillavailable in the Village.

Windansea’s ocean viewing grew from fourcoastal benches to 12 under her watch. She head-ed the installation of more than 35 benches intotal in the Village. Viti coordinates each step ofthe process — from helping locals choose a benchto contracting the services. During the concretepouring at Windansea, Viti guarded benches from7 a.m. to 4 p.m. from delinquents wishing to leavetheir initials.

“[The city] doesn’t have to wonder what’sbeing done,” Viti said. “They know Esther hastaken care of it.”

“A goodwill ambassador” is how past Town Coun-cil president Paul Kennerson describes Viti. Kenner-

son had asked Viti to coordinate the bench programfor the Town Council in the late 1990s.

“Underneath Esther is a lot of very decent pru-dence and accommodation of various interests,”Kennerson said. “She’s very keen on that … theprime thing on the benches is that everyone wantsone and wants it now and not everyone can have abench and have it now.”

Viti generated controversy in the Village twoyears ago, however, when she suggested volunteerssit on the benches to prevent the homeless fromoccupying them.

Kennerson said he hadn’t agreed with Viti’smethod for deterring the homeless.

Viti’s final business card is her personal touch. She loves hats and is rarely seen without one.

She favors high-end designers. She always dresseslike she’s heading to a luncheon, meaning she does-n’t wear jeans or slacks.

“I hear others say, ‘I wear a hat too,’ but when Isee their hat, it’s not like my hat. My hat is a show-piece,” Viti said.

Viti dons another sort of hat for her volunteerwork with the city’s Neighborhood Code Compli-ance Department — for which she doesn’t carry abusiness card. Instead, Viti carries a digital camera,a badge and a letter from the department. Sheresponds to concerns from the community aboutissues like trash bins and A-frame signs in the pub-lic right-of-way. She promptly strolls into business-es to inform owners of their violations and tostraighten out the situation.

“I’m the eyes and ears for code enforcement,”Viti said.

Working hard — with or without pay — is away of life for Viti. Her parents immigrated toChicago from Italy in the 1920s, and Viti was thesixth of nine children. As a 10-year-old, Viti workedalongside her father in the insurance business afterschool and on Saturdays. She rose early each morn-ing to sing at 7 a.m. Mass. She often found herselftaking charge — or being put in charge — ofschool and church projects.

Viti later moved to Phoenix, raised six children,worked for an insurance company and volunteeredfor a weekend shift at the hospital each month. Shesuffered with a bout of rare cancer in her 30s,shortly after she had her sixth child, but rebound-ed quickly. Nowadays, Viti plans to sell long-termcare insurance policies — a policy that has provid-ed Viti with a home assistant since her coma left herwith ailments.

The motivation for volunteering is straightfor-ward for Viti.

“Self satisfaction. That’s what it’s all about,” Vitisaid. “I’m fulfilled personally.”

One of the most basic jobs of city gov-ernment is making sure the streets aresmooth and safe. Earlier this month, webegan what might be the largest streetsrepaving project in San Diego history.We will give a complete makeover to 134miles of the city’s most damaged streets— more than 1,000 city blocks. Withthis $47 million project, the city will per-form asphalt resurfacing on nearly asmany miles of streets as it did in the pre-vious eight fiscal years combined.

It should go without saying that thisproject will make the city a nicer, morelivable place. But it also makes financialsense. The worse condition the street,the more money to fix it. So, postponingthis work would mean paying moremoney in the long run. And in this econ-omy, we’re also getting that work done ata bargain price.

Many of you are all too familiar withthis community’s axle-shaking, teeth-rattling roads — La Jolla Village Drive,for example. The list goes on and on.One resident recently joked that theonly vehicle equipped to handle thehazards of Mira Mesa Boulevardwould be a tank.

The condition of many of these streetsis an embarrassment and a public-safetyhazard. They also have an impact on aneighborhood’s basic quality of life. Well-maintained streets say a lot about a city’ssense of civic pride. Several decades ago,

a sociologist theorized that making smallfixes in a neighborhood — cleaning uplitter, fixing sidewalk cracks, repairingbroken windows — is the best way tomake sure that neighborhood won’tdeteriorate. Sociologists call this “thebroken window theory,” and it’s a goodguiding principle for a mayor of any city,large or small.

If everything goes according to plan,all the streets listed above, and hundredsof others, will be repaved with asphalt bythe summer of 2011. In addition tothese streets, we will be performing slur-ry-seal resurfacing of an additional 147miles of roads. That, too, is a figure thatmight be unprecedented in city history.A complete list of these streets can befound on the city’s website,www.sandiego.gov.

We like to call San Diego America’sFinest City. This work will help makesure our city lives up to its title.

I am so angry.I hate what this country has become.

I am no longer proud to be born, raisedand a current business person here. Thatstatement does not come easy, but it doescome from the heart.

I also would be ashamed to try toexplain to the founding fathers of thiscountry what we as citizens have let thepoliticians turn it into!

Why don’t you open the door to theentire world and give them free money,as much as they want until the countrysimply runs out. Then borrow more andhand that out too! Too extreme you say?HA!

You might as well do it fast and get itover with rather than this slow death weas a country are suffering at your handswhile we turn in a poor, broke and non-productive socialist — then a commu-nist state.

I feel that our country’s finances havebeen mismanaged for years. But I knowthat there are many, many more peoplethat feel as I do. You, the Congress, Sen-ate and the president have done a terri-ble job when it comes to protecting themoney of the taxpayer.

Furthermore, I feel that the UnitedStates of America was NOT founded onthe principles of a welfare state like youwant. A quote attributed to MargaretThatcher goes along the lines of, “The

problem with socialism is that eventual-ly you run out of other people’s money[to spend].”

What’s the remedy you say? Startwith this:

Please fire all government employeesand replace them with independent con-tractors. There is little incentive in gov-ernment to save more. They just want tosave their budget! Next, immediatelyresign from your office and ask all in theSenate, Congress and president to resignwith you.

Before you go, legalize and tax gam-bling, drugs and prostitution. Why arewe losing lives, limbs and assets to whathumans will NEVER stop doing? Stopthe insanity. Use the newfound revenuefor rehab of drug and alcohol users andfund a program to help the homeless.

People in the United States haverights. Government was granted limitedauthority by the people by way of theConstitution. Not rights! But govern-ment has over-stepped its limited author-ity. This current Federal, state and localgovernment is an ugly animal thatgorges itself on the dwindling prosperi-ty of a once great nation.

P.S. I’m against the health bill. VotingYES on that bill like you did woke “thesleeping giant.”

Lance A. Pelky Patriot and La Jolla resident

Per stats from Southern California counties, over 500perfectly healthy young dogs were euthanized last weekdue to overcrowding at the shelters.

The myths of “My dog needs to go through one heat,”“My children need to see puppies being born” or “I canalways find good homes for the puppies” are just a ridicu-lous excuse when so many animals are being euthanized.

Simple arithmetic illustrates how “just one litter” con-tributes to the mass killing: Two dogs breed. Six offspringare born. The six offspring reproduce within one year andare responsible for six offspring each. At the end of 10years just one unaltered dog can be responsible for 4,372births. What can YOU do to stop this suffering? Spay orneuter your pet.

Spaying a female dog can lessen the chance of mamma-ry tumors, or loss of bladder control, the mess of bleedingwhile in heat or being hit by a car during mating seasonwhen a dog will “break free” to find another dog to matewith.

Neutering of your male dog will lessen the chance ofprostrate cancer, and also being hit by a car.

Males can actually smell a female in heat over a mileaway and will dig out or jump over to get to the source ofthe smell. After they are neutered they are less apt to bein fights with other dogs and will not be markers when inyour home.

Rescues are asked time and time again to take dogs thathave been brought to the ER with broken bones or severecuts and bruises due to them being hit by a car and theowner not being able to afford the medical care needed. Inmost cases the dog is not altered.

We, as the responsible humans, need to realize that thishorrible cycle has to stop. Spay or neuter your pet.

When you look at the classified ads in your local news-paper you will see ads for puppies.

When you purchase one of these dogs you are only pro-moting more breeding of animals by people too greedy tohave their pets altered. If you want a puppy, do yourresearch — find a reputable breeder who gives you info onthe breed. Most won’t ship dogs and will have a contractfor altering and are available for questions down the line.

Over 50 percent of the dogs in shelters are purebreds.When people are spending over $1,000 on a “designer”dog, which is basically what used to be called “mutts,” theso-called breeders just keep supplying. Sick puppies arebrought across the border and people actually buy them

out of trunks of cars. Instead of buying from these people,you should be alerting the County Animal Control aboutwhere they are.

There are many low-cost spay and neuter options. Askyour local shelter, call a rescue to see if they have info,don’t use the excuse you can’t afford it. There are options.Your tax dollars are paying to house and then euthanizethese animals created because of unaltered pets. Be aresponsible owner and do the right thing. Spay or neuteryour pet.

Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego is a 501 3c non profitgroup, with under 10 unpaid volunteers. Over the last 10 yearswe have had an average of 90 rescue dogs placed into foreverhomes each year on a budget of less than $25,000. All dogs arealtered, have shots, have microchipped and are kept in a cage-free home environment with our foster volunteers until placed.We get our dogs from owner turn-ins and shelter medical cases.For information call (858) 277-3557.

Unlike many teenagers, Alfredo Corrallikes to do everything fast. If the senior trackstar at The Bishop’s School has something todo, he wants to get it done right away — atrait that translates well on the track.

“I run as hard as I can,” Corral said. “Ido all my homework as fast as I can and Istudy as much as I can.”

Corral has already used his blazingspeed this season to set a new school recordin the 400-meter dash. With a time of48.79 seconds at the Arcadia Invitationalin April, he broke a Bishop’s mark that hadstood for nearly 10 years.

“It was surprising because I wasn’texpecting to do it so early in the season,”Corral said.

Breaking the record marked a definingmoment in the track star’s tenure at Bish-op’s.

“He was so happy,” track team co-headcoach Jessica Mercado said. “He wanted toleave (Bishop’s) and graduate having bro-ken the record.”

Besides being one of the best runners atBishop’s, Corral has also emerged as a lead-er of the track team. He has been known tolend a helping hand to underclassmen andis the first to encourage teammates when-ever the coaches are having a hard timegetting the squad to keep pushing on.

“He helps me at practice,” Mercado said.“When one kid won’t go hard he willnotice and get on them and he also leads byexample.”

Corral is also a fast thinker, and the com-bination of his athletic abilities and work inthe classroom has earned him a place atStanford University, where he will begin asa freshman in the fall. He is leaning toward

studying economics at the prestigiousschool.

The ambitious Corral said his relentlessdrive comes from his parents, who instilledin him at a very early age the drive toalways work hard.

“All that hard work I’ve done has paidoff,” Corral said.

Although his excellent grades and highSAT scores are what got him into Stanford,Corral will also be competing for theschool’s nationally-touted track team. Itwill be a big change from the friendly con-fines of Bishop’s, but Corral is up for thechallenge.

Before he turns his focus to higher learn-

ing, Corral has some unfinished businesshe would like to accomplish in his senioryear. His primary goal is to qualify for theCIF State Championships in June. Last yearhe finished agonizingly close but fell justshort of the cutoff — and that was all themotivation this upstart needed to pushharder than ever in training for the trackseason.

“From day one he has always workedhard,” Mercado said. “He gives 110 percentin everything we do and every workout.”

With a big chunk of the season still togo, Corral hopes to top his school recordagain. With his work ethic and positive out-look, that seems like a strong likelihood.

La Maisonnette: creating a European lifestyleEuropean designs have long

been accenting the homes of therich and famous. In La Jolla, theEuropean flavors of French archi-tecture and home decorating canbe found at La Maisonnette, a bou-tique and trading company thathas been on Girard since 2001.

“We’re dealing with a crowdthat’s sophisticated,” owner Por-tia Marque said.

France’s sophisticate meshesnicely with the well-traveledtourist or La Jolla local, she said, astimeless pieces retain a sense ofintegrity for all sorts of patrons.

La Maisonnette combinesSouthern California finesse andclassic European flavors in its shopwhere one-of-a-kind lamp shadesand bases line the walls, 18th cen-tury soaps imported from Francefill every crevice and aromas ofperfumes inspired by the FrenchRiviera fill the room. The venue isa European haven for collectorsand home owners alike.

Call her the Julia Child of homedecorating — French connoisseurPortia has created a French par-adise within her seaside home ofLa Jolla. Just a decade ago thisAmerican, who lived in France for25 years, brought her passionhome with her along with hus-band and French native Jean. Now,the traveling trader brings backher former European lifestyle tothe shop, searching for productsunfamiliar to American marketsthat she loved while abroad.

“We want to share [these items]with people,” Portia said, addingthat at first it was difficult to get

such small companies overseas butwith her expertise, La Maisonnettemade it work.

As she tells it, European design-ers “lead the beat” with nearlyeverything artistic — a style thattranscends time.

Like owning a great pair ofChanel shoes, France’s enduring

style that the the owners of LaMaisonnette have brought backwith them — or designed them-selves — is built on the same prin-cipals as centuries past.

“That’s what attracts people [toEuropean design],” she said. “There’sstill integrity and they know they’regoing to be proud of it.”

UCSD touts modernMexican societal artin newest exhibit

Some art is pretty. Some art is beautiful, intri-cate and detailed. Some art took countless hoursto perfect. Other art may not be so beautiful,elaborate or technically skillful but it has socialcontent. It says something about society and cul-ture and it makes you think.

The current show at the University of Califor-nia, San Diego (UCSD) Art Gallery, which openedon April 8 and runs through May 15, is just suchan example of the latter. Titled “Transurbanic:Art Emotions and Some City Trances,” this is acollection of contemporary socially-inspiredMexican art brought to UCSD by Guillermo San-tamaria, the chief curator of the Museum ofContemporary Art (MuCA) at the NationalAutonomous University of Mexico in MexicoCity, which is the largest public institution inMexico dedicated to contemporary art.

The art exhibited at this show is not high artfrom the Mexican tradition nor colorful peasantfolk crafts, but instead works that Santamariacalls, “Another Mexican art which is a vexationto the status quo.”

The art work here is of “urban, social, andstreet concern and the product of a struggle toorganize art and move it outside its hegemonicimpositions.” Santamaria said. “These pieces area reflection of the paradoxical reality of contem-porary life in a Mexican city. They reflect on thecrisis, daily melodrama, and the broken conditionof a treacherous, isolated, often violent, tragic,and generally out of control existence, which is atonce pathetic, paranoid, and hilarious…althoughthey are from Mexico, these art works may reflecton individual existence in any city through outthe modern world. They show how the promise ofmodernity — that we would all live in clean, safe,and utopian cities has failed.”

Some of the art pieces to look for at this exhibitinclude, a large back cardboard ceiling hangingstructure, wooden panels leaning against a wall,a circular hairy wall sculpture, a photo collectionof a man attempting suicide, a collection of UFOphotos, a small sculpture of a frog canon, anEscher-like painting of a Mexican building, and avideo of the mouths of missing Mexican children.

The art at this exhibit is not “eye candy.” Itrequires you think and the challenge is to link the

Mainly Mozart — those bi-nationalpurveyors of fine music and musicaleducation —have traditionally held ele-gant black-tie fundraising galas, fre-quently featuring individual table décorby top designers and artists. But withthe flagging economy, their executivedirector, Nancy Laturno Bojanic, decid-ed to restructure the annual event.Instead of a very formal Saturday nightaffair, it became a relaxed Sunday after-noon party tied closely to Wolfgang

Amadeus Mozart and his Salzburg, Aus-tria, birthplace. It was still at the West-gate Hotel, Mainly Mozart’s partnersince its 1989 beginnings — the perfectplace for an Austrian-themed soirée.

The dress was “cocktail or Austrianattire,” and everything began at 4 p.m.Guests enjoyed champagne and a Vien-nese waltz demonstration in the GrandLobby, with dancing couples in full Aus-trian period attire. Upstairs, they foundhors d’oeuvres, a silent auction and amarionette demonstration. Four sepa-rate concerts in the Versailles Room fea-tured either Robert Thies on piano orJun Iwasaki on violin with Grace Fong atthe piano. Elsewhere, guests witnessed ademonstration of Mozartkugeln, ahand-made confection originating in1890s Salzburg. A ball of pistachiomarzipan, covered in a layer of nougat,is dunked in dark chocolate, cooled andwrapped in silver foil. (They’re irre-sistible!) A buffet dinner in theFontainebleau Room (including fabu-

lous authentic wienerschnitzel, whichbears not the slightest resemblance towhat’s sold at American fast-foodrestaurants) completed the very success-ful evening.

• • •The Kyoto Prize is a very prestigious

international award, established in1984 by Kyocera Corporation founderDr. Kazuo Inamori. Awarded eachNovember in Japan, half the laureateshave been American. Awardees receiveacademic honors, a gold medal and acash gift of 50 million yen (about$550,000). It’s Japan’s highest privateaward for global achievement.

The three-day Kyoto Prize Sympo-sium, held each April in San Diego,allows the honorees to present theiraccomplishments to an internationalaudience. It starts with a black-tie galacelebration, held this year at the Mar-riott San Diego Hotel and Marina. There,basic sciences laureates Peter and Rose-mary Grant, the first married couple to

receive the prize, were introduced. Theirresearch has shown that natural selec-tion, the fundamental tenet of evolu-tion, occurs all around us — even as wewatch. Dr. Isamu Akasaki was the laure-ate for advanced technology, for hisdevelopment of the blue LED and bluelaser diode. Each awardee gave a shortaddress, but Maestro Pierre Boulez, thearts and philosophy laureate, couldn’tattend because European air traffic wasgrounded due to the Icelandic volcano.

Gala co-chairs were Robert Horsman,Masaaki Tanaka and Peter Farrell, whileIrwin Jacobs and Conrad Prebys servedas honorary chairs, and Ian Campbellwas the able emcee. The elegant affairbegan with a formal grand entrance ofthe color guard with flags of manynations, the laureates and Dr. and Mrs.Inamori, who received a standing ova-tion. The evening’s entertainmentincluded performances by MalashockDance, Orchestra Nova (Jung-Ho Pakconducting), countertenor Brian Asawa

and the 150-voice One Dream Children’sChoir. Gala guests were also treated to anexcellent international dinner.

A special art lecture was held April20 at the Athenaeum Music and ArtsLibrary in conjunction with the exhib-it “Verdi’s Aida Through the Eyes ofZandra Rhodes” in the main and rotun-da galleries. During the lecture, Rhodestook the audience through her journeyin designing for “Aida.”

She said that her inspiration for theopera began with her trip to Egypt. Sheexplained that she loved the Egyptianuse of eyes in art and incorporated thatin her designs along with the turquoise,oranges and gold colors, and the boldjewelry.

Another influence was the pleateddresses of the pharaohs. Rhodes talkedabout the process of buying saris andmaking the pleats. One of the biggestchallenges was to make the wigs so theyweren’t too heavy for the wearer.

During the presentation, Rhodesshowed slides of her sketches and thenpictures of the actual sets and costumeson the stage. There are many reasonswhy the sets and costumes may varyfrom the original sketch, which may bedue to the size of the actor or due tomonetary reasons. This was a veryentertaining lecture and it was veryuplifting to hear all the behind the-scenes stories in the making of theEgyptian-inspired opera.

The exhibit is a wonderful collectionof her sketchbooks, costume drawingsand costumes she created for Verdi’sopera “Aida.”

She was originally commissioned byOpera Pacific in 2004 to design the setsand costumes for its production of“Aida.” After opening in Houston,“Aida” traveled to the English NationalOpera in 2007 and in 2008. This year itwill open in San Francisco in September.

“Verdi’s Aida Through the Eyes ofZandra Rhodes” will be on view untilMay 15 at the Athenaeum Music andArts Library.

children how to make their own comic-book adventure on April 6. Warwick’sholds free events for children through-out the month.

“Meanwhile” is equally engaging forchildren and adults. The book acts likea video game in that it’s accessible,active and can be obsessive. It’s brainstimulation in analytical reasoningand problem solving.

“The overall point is to introducechildren to science fiction concepts in afun way,” Shiga said.

Shiga was teaching a college classon comic books as literature 13 yearsago when he decided to follow the foot-steps of comic-book icon AdrianTomine.

“If he can do it, why not me?” Shigaasked himself one day.

So, Shiga wrote the comic book, pho-tocopied it and sold it to bookstores.

“The advantage to the medium isthat it’s really accessible to the average

person,” Shiga said. “All you need ispen and paper and a photocopymachine.”

Ten years later, Shiga’s work caughta publisher’s eye. Shiga has sinceauthored 20 comic books, inventedthree board games, two card tricks, thegreedy mug and bus clock.
