A10 THE COAST NEWS JAN. 30, 2009 Museum aims high with ‘Lowbrow’ art By Promise Yee OCEANSIDE — The Oceanside Museum of Art’s “Lowbrow Art: Nine San Diego Pop Surrealists” drew close to 400 art lovers and pop surrealism “cult followers” to the Jan. 24 preview reception. Notable San Diego area artists Mary Fleener, Charles Glaubitz, Pamela Jaeger, Tim McCormick, Scott Saw, Scrojo (Craig Haskett), Jason Sherry, Jen Trute and Ron Wharton are on display at the exhibit, which is curated by Jerry Waddle and Michael C. Gross. “It clearly demonstrates this form of art hangs together in the San Diego region,” Skip Pahl, Oceanside Museum of Art executive director, said. Pop surrealism takes 1960s pop art’s expressions of adversity and use of common objects one step further and makes complex narrative statements with comics, photography and form. “This generation of younger artists was raised on pop culture,” Gross said. “I was born in Studio City, pop art images are burned into my mind,” Tim McCormick said. “I approach pop art from the ideology of a fine painter.” OCEANSIDE — MiraCosta’s Kruglak Art Gallery in the MiraCosta College Student Center on the Oceanside Campus kicks off the New Year with an exhibit and workshop on underground publishing held by Grrrl Zines A-Go- Go. This is not just an exhibit, but also an active exploration of zine culture and production, including a “Scrap Lounge” in which visitors can create their own zine. “Zines!

Coast Hwy. plan lets senior park stay in place By Promise Yee OCEANSIDE — Council’s unanimous vote to take Mira Mar Mobilehome Community out of the Coast Highway Vision Plan received a standing ovation from residents Jan. 21. “We were beyond shocked,” Eve Hall said. Hall is the planning committee chair with Mira Mar Mobilehome Community Home Owners Association. Hall’s sentiments were shared by many mobile home park residents, who found out that the plan called for a redevelopment overlay to replace the Mira Mar Mobilehome Community. While the Coast Highway Vision Plan is a “vision statement” and not an adopted redevelopment plan, the proposed plans for a redevelopment area to replace the mobile home park has caused stress and uncertainty in mobile home community residents, many who are seniors on a fixed income. “We have very few options,” Al Cinino, Mira Mar Mobilehome Community Homeowners Association board member, said. “Our facility may TURN TO SENIOR ON A16
JAN. 30, 2009 Jon McPherson, South Coast Winery Resort and Spa’s savvy master winemaker in Temecula Wine Country, recently sat at our booth to join us for lunch at their posh Vineyard Rose Restaurant. For a few minutes, he relaxed over a few examples of South Coast’s new releases. Jon came over from Thornton Winery five years ago where he gained a solid reputation as a meticulous craftsman of sparkling wine. Prior to coming to the Temecula Valley, he cut his teeth in the wine industry in Texas. At Thornton, he earned the title “America’s Most Honored Sparkling Wine Producer.” Last year, the winery was judged the best in the state at the California State Fair and received the Golden Bear trophy for winning 39 awards including: 1 Best of State, 1 Best of Region, 12 Best of Class, 1 Double Gold and 5 Golds among others. In all, 255 awards were won in 2008 by this premier winery. At the end of the year, my “Taste of Wine” declared South Coast’s Wild Horse Peak 2005 Sangiovese, one of its Top Ten Tastings. I asked Jon how he has been able to extract excellence out of his varietals. “It’s about letting the grapes speak, he said. “We listen, then carefully nurture the process.” He then went on to describe THE COAST NEWS A11 A celebratory year for South Coast and its wineries FRANK MANGIO Taste of Wine my Top Ten Tasting winner: the 2005 Sangiovese. “The ’05 Sangiovese was planted near Palomar Mountain in the Wild Horse Peak Mountain Vineyard, Thunderbolt Block. The fruit’s unusual depth of character and style is further accentuated by its exclusive aging in French oak barrels. The oak marries with the Sangiovese and adds a beautiful texture and complexity to its licorice and cherry notes. Supple tannins and racy acidity make it a standout 100 percent Sangiovese wine. It will age gracefully for the next three to five years.” Last year the ’05 Sangiovese, in addition to my Top Ten accolade, scored a Best Christian Dior • Anne Klein • DNG • Maui Jim • Ray Ban Eye Physician and Surgeon Call today for an appointment 760-757-1144 of Class, a gold and four silvers.
