Rash of armed robberies in La Jolla over recent weeks
State of La Jolla Thursday, Jan. 8
La Jolla, as taken from the air in a Cessna on Dec. 28, 2014 by University of Michigan student Savanah Harvey, home on winter break.

a Jolla Town Council will host the Village’s first (annual) “review,” 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8 at La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St. The community is encouraged to come and hear these groups give updates about what’s on tap for 2015 in The Jewel: n La Jolla Village Merchants Association n La Jolla Community Planning Association n Bird Rock Community Council n La Jolla Shores Association n La Jolla Parks & Beaches n La Jolla Recreation Council n La Jolla Town Council “The event will be much like the State of the Union address, but with various important local organizations sharing the stage and presenting their visions for the future of La Jolla,” said Town Council president Steve Haskins, noting this event is the first time he can recall so many local organizations will join together in the same place to speak directly to the people of La Jolla. Editor’s Note: As a reader/resident courtesy, La Jolla Light presents its annual list of local civic organizations with contact information (aka Alphabet Soup) on page A22. Thirteen entities provide advice to the San Diego City Council on land use, parks and beaches, public infrastructure and other important issues. The advice these groups provide can have a significant impact on La Jolla’s traffic patterns, historical preservation, parking, beach and park use, and other quality of life issues. u

By Ashley Mackin An uncharacteristically high number of armed robberies — both commercial and against individuals — have been reported in La Jolla over the past three weeks, with suspects of similar descriptions. In several incidences, the suspects are described as two, tall adult black males wearing hooded sweatshirts, brandishing weapons. In some occurrences, a third male was also spotted. Per City News Service, and as previously reported in La Jolla Light on Dec. 16, San Diego police report that two adult black, males robbed the La Jolla Village Lodge at gunpoint about 9:22 p.m. They entered the business at 1141 Silverado St. armed with guns and made a demand to the clerk.

A couple takes a ‘selfie,’ just feet from a backdrop of sunning sea lions at La Jolla Cove. Pat Sherman
By Pat Sherman A year after the city installed a gate in the fence above La Jolla Cove — to allow human access to the bluffs as a deterrent to sea lions and birds gathering and depositing their smelly excrement there — the sea lions appear to have become acclimated to humans. Last week, visitors could be seen helping each other down the bluff trail to take “selfies” just feet from the seemingly docile marine mammals — a proximity prohibited under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act (though rarely enforced).

At the time the gate was installed, it was believed the presence of humans would force the sea lions off the bluffs, thus eradicating the stench from their excrement and urine. The gate was positioned at the insistence of a group of Village business owners and residents who remember a time when there was no fence and people freely roamed the bluffs, sans the pungent odor of coastal wildlife. In June 2013, the city began spraying the bluffs with a microbial foam that digests the

LA JOLLA LIGHT - January 8, 2015 - Page A3
Seen from behind, the blow from a gray whale appears heart-shaped because they have two blowholes on top of their heads, positioned close together in a V-shape.
Sanderlings forage in the surf zone, running as a group. There is one smaller sandpiper in the midst of the sanderlings.
Natural La Jolla Kelly Stewart
Winter has arrived and wildlife is all around us!
Winter sunsets can be very pretty, with cool sunlight and deep rich orange and red hues. Photos by Jeremy W. Smith
you’ll see one blow, then another, then another, too close in time to be the same whale. When at the surface, gray whales breathe from three to 10 times, each breath coming 15-30 seconds apart. They’ll then take a quick dive, maybe surfacing again in about 5 minutes, maybe a bit longer. You may be lucky enough to see a blow that is a shorter and smaller puff than the others — that’s a calf traveling with its mother — having been born before reaching the warm lagoons in Mexico. While you are scouting for a southbound gray, you might also see some tiny speckled birds foraging on the low beach. Sanderlings (Calidris alba) are one of our common overwintering birds. They’re amusing to watch because their little legs work so quickly as they race up and down the surf zone, always staying just ahead of the waves. Most afternoons, and especially when there are holidays, you’ll also find people
down by the water. Many will have cameras, taking pictures of their friends or family, and almost all of them will be smiling as they watch the sunset. I see it happen nearly every day here, but it’s still amazing that so many people feel the instinct to move to the water’s edge to watch the sun slip into the sea. As soon as it’s over, of course, there’s a mass migration of people back to their cars and away. But these winter sunsets can be spectacular, with deep orange and red hues. Add in some snow-capped mountains in the distance, and it’s well worth the trip. u

he blustery New Year arrived last week, bringing with it chilly winter weather from the north and rough seas. Along with making personal resolutions for the coming year, we’ll again begin the cycle of seasonal changes in our natural world. On the eve of the New Year, I walked down to the ocean to watch the sunset. As I stood waiting for the sun to slip away for the last time this year, a pod of gray whales (Eschrichtius robustus) just offshore was
making its way south. The annual migration has now begun in earnest — I’ve been seeing whales regularly for a couple of weeks now. The late afternoon is the best time to spot blows or spouts from shore, as they are backlit by the sun. The moist warm air expelled forcefully from the blowhole will hang in the air for a few moments, looking like a puff of smoke. If you watch closely, you can count how many whales are traveling in the group —

n Sherry Ahern, volunteer and
n Steve Haskins, president, La Jolla Town Council “I’d like to see a resurgence of civic involvement by La Jollans. We often hear complaints about problems in our town — from potholes Steve Haskins to traffic to overbuilding.

n Joe LaCava, president, La Jolla Community Planning Association “My hope is that 2015 continues to be a year of collaboration, building on the good work by community leaders, foundations and Joe LaCava organizations. In particular, I hope we fund the Belvedere Promenade project on Prospect Street; refine the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance to make it more predictable for everyone; and, enable the emerging cultural center in the 7600 block of Fay Avenue.”
n Sherri Lightner, president, San Diego City Council “My biggest wish for La Jolla in 2015 is to
Sherri Lightner
make major progress on the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project, including the construction on Phase 1, which is set to begin in late January/early February, along with design on Phase 2, which can move forward now that funding was approved in December 2014.”
n Tim Lucas, board chair, La Jolla Shores Association “I would like to see more people taking an interest in, and participating in, their community. One of the best ways to participate is becoming aware of the community groups in the area and atTim Lucas tending their meetings and subscribing to their e-mail lists. There are the La Jolla Shores Association, the La Jolla Community Planning Association, the Bird Rock Community Council, the La Jolla Historical Society and other groups in the area that serve the La Jolla community. There are also important committees, such as La Jolla Parks & Beaches, the La Jolla Recreation Council, Traffic & Transportation, Friends of La Jolla Shores
s
philanthropist, founder of La Jolla Open Aire Farmers Market and La Jolla Art & Wine Festival “I want to see the Village ‘Sparkle & Shine,’ and help with continued improvements, and the Sherry Ahern cleaning La Jolla so badly needs and deserves. I hope for more community events and am looking forward to the opening of the theatres and music center (on Fay Avenue), and new shops and restaurants. Most of all, I want to encourage all La Jolla residents to get more involved. Support, eat and shop local. Enjoy the Jewel we are so privileged to live in!”
Contemporary Art San Diego “The last year has been marked by many changes for La Jolla and my wish would be to see continued progress. As we respect and honor La Jolla’s distinguished history, Hugh Davies we also embrace the future and will work eagerly in 2015 toward creating a better Museum of Contemporary Art.”
What is needed is a higher level of involvement from residents and businesspeople to help solve these problems. We, as La Jollans, need to take personal responsibility to protect and preserve our small-town atmosphere. I would ask everyone to set aside some time in their busy schedules to get involved. The Town Council is here to work with you, please e-mail me with any ideas or questions at president@lajollatowncouncil.org”

n Ione Stiegler, architect/chair of La Jolla Planned District Ordinance committee “My wish for La Jolla in 2015 would be for all the Village businesses to aid in the beatification of our town by removing their illegal sidewalk signs and flags that are Ione Stiegler cluttering our public sidewalks.”
Permit Review Committee “I would like to see upper limits placed on Floor Area Ratios (FARs) for projects on properties zoned as single-family residential within the La Jolla Shores Planned District, so as not to exceed the maximum allowed FARs for single-family residential zoned properties elsewhere in La Jolla.”
n Scott Peters, congressmember, 52nd District “In the coming year we need to make investing in scientific research a priority in the federal budget. This would benefit companies across La Jolla that are making cutting-edge discoveries every day and Scott Peters creating high-quality jobs. I also hope the residents of La Jolla will continue engaging with me to share their comments and ideas.”
n Phyllis Pfeiffer, chair, La Jolla Community Foundation “My one wish would be that all La Jolla civic and charitable organizations work together toward a common goal, to leverage our talent and resources to Phyllis Pfeiffer improve the community.”

n Erika Torri, director, Athenaeum Music & Arts Library “My wish is that we will continue to attract a large audience for our diverse programming in art and music, and that the Murals of La Jolla Project, which is now under the administration of the Athenaeum, continues to be a much loved La Jolla icon, embraced and accepted as a visual identity for the Village.”
n Nancy Warwick, Sparkle & Shine campaign organizer, La Jolla Village Merchants Association board member “Happy New Year, La Jolla! I have two resolutions that I’d like to see every business owner or manager adopt, in an effort to increase business in the Village. First, keep your sidewalks clean and pick up trash several times a day. Second, save the time-limited street Nancy Warwick parking for the customers and don’t take the spots for yourself or your employees. These are two simple and easily implemented ways to attract more business to the Village, and to foster a greater sense of community and pride. Let’s get it done!” u
Birch Aquarium welcomes Loggerhead Sea Turtle
F
or the first time, Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, has welcomed a rescued and rehabilitated sea turtle to its collection of marine life. The juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta), weighing approximately 44 kilograms (97 pounds), arrived on Nov. 19 from the South Carolina Aquarium Sea Turtle Rescue Program. Originally discovered injured in a New Jersey power plant’s cooling canal, the Loggerhead Sea Turtle was initially sent to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, New Jersey, for care. After three weeks, the A rescued Loggerhead South Carolina Aquarium Sea Turtle is now in its accepted the turtle and home at Birch Aquarium’s provided treatment and Hall of Fishes. Courtesy further evaluation. Due to what are likely congenital defects — including scoliosis and flipper paralysis — veterinary experts in South Carolina determined that the Loggerhead would not survive if reintroduced to the wild, so it was deemed non-releasable. Birch Aquarium at Scripps, with its experienced husbandry team, volunteered to provide a home for the injured Loggerhead and secured the appropriate approvals from U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Through a fundraising campaign, more than $50,000 was raised by Birch Aquarium to support the housing and rehabilitative care of the turtle over the next year. Birch Aquarium, 2300 Expedition Way.

Author Linda Pequegnat with her book, ‘This Day in San Diego History’ Ashley Mackin
Community Center to host monthly history lecture By Ashley Mackin La Jolla Community Center launches a “This Month in La Jolla” lecture series Jan. 15 with author Linda Pequegnat presenting, 11:30 a.m. third Thursdays at 6811 La Jolla Blvd. Taking excerpts from her book, “This Day in San Diego History,” a calendric collection of stories with something newsworthy for each day of the year, Pequegnat will consider all the historical events of La Jolla found in her book. A teaser, she reads, took place on Jan. 6, 1888. “A full-page ad appeared on the third page of The San Diego Union. The page was totally blank except for these three lines in the middle of the page: Look out for La Jolla Park! Hotel being built. Pacific Coast Land Bureau “This ad announcing the construction of the fancy 80-room, three-story La Jolla Park Hotel, ran for the next 25 days on page three of the newspaper,” she said, noting that at the upcoming lecture, she will elaborate on the brief history of the hotel. It was only open for three years in the late 1800s, before it closed and burned down, and arson was suspected but never proved. Community Center executive director Nancy Walters said after reading Pequegnat’s book, she was the first choice for hosting the series. “I knew I could always approach Linda with historical questions about San Diego and La Jolla,” Walters said. “I remember being at a La Jolla Historical Society luncheon where they were celebrating Ellen
Browning Scripps’ 100th birthday, and of course Linda was there. I remember noticing how interested people were in learning how things used to be. From the people and personalities to the terrain and architecture, people were genuinely curious. Linda is very passionate about her town of La Jolla, and history, so I thought it would be great to introduce a new series that explored historical moments in La Jolla history.” Sourced from history books and collected stories about La Jolla, Pequegnat wrote the book after moving back to La Jolla Shores following a 20-year stay in Texas where her husband was a professor at Texas A&M University. “At the time (the 1980s), my granddaughter was in fourth grade, which is when they start to learn about history. I looked through her history book and realized there wasn’t a lot of history about San Diego,” she said. “Furthermore, I realized I didn’t know a lot about California history or San Diego history and I thought, ‘I need to learn more.’ ” She said she purchased books about San Diego and La Jolla’s histories, and made a note every time an event was dated. “This Day in San Diego History” was published in 2009. “These are just little vignettes – some are important, some are just fun little things,” she said. “There are a lot about Ellen Browning Scripps because she was so important to La Jolla.” The lectures are free to community center members and $5 for non-members.

From Football Injury, A1 Oct. 16 in a game against Point Loma High School. According to VOSD, the player allegedly told his assistant coach, Steven Wachs, that he was hurt, but he was sent back into the game, according to his father and La Jolla High head football coach Jason Carter. According to VOSD, the student asked if he could sit out, but Carter said Wachs refused his request, telling the student to “suck it up” and keep playing. Wachs (later placed on suspension), disputes that account. State rules require all coaches to undergo training to identify possible head trauma. By press time, requests for comment placed with La Jolla High School and the San Diego Unified School District were not returned. La Jolla Light will be following this story in the coming month. u

Pre-opening revamp underway at Sugar and Scribe bakery By Ashley Mackin Before the doors could even open at the planned Sugar and Scribe bakery/eatery, 7660 Fay Ave., (former home of Zenbu Sushi), co-owners Maeve Rochford and Patrick Daniels decided the full-service bakery would benefit from an overhaul. Originally planned for an October 2014 debut, the eatery — a second location for the original Sugar and Scribe in Pacific Beach — will have a soft opening in late February, with a grand opening soon after. “When we got behind the walls and under the floor and started some of the build-out, we found a few challenges that caused a bit of a delay,” consultant John Angelo said. While that was happening, the ownership team and Angelo used the downtime to think about how to best use the space. “The bakery section with our custom cookies, marshmallows and cakes, including wedding and cupcakes, really exploded (at our Pacific Beach location), so we decided to revamp our kitchen and we ended up redesigning the entire facility to offer more people our custom goods,” Rochford said. “We wanted to make sure we provided enough space for the designers, so we have a whole section now where people can watch all the custom decorations happen — not only can people enjoy their custom desserts,
The crew at Sugar and Scribe Pacific Beach with co-owner Maeve Rochford at center. but they can watch them being made.” Angelo added, “Sometimes you are thrown a curveball, but that curveball becomes an opportunity to knock it out of the park.” Rochford also said the delay afforded them more time to explore beer and wine options, the licensing for which they were granted. “We want to celebrate craft beer in San Diego and custom wine-based drinks, so we are excited that we will be able to offer that,” she said.
A Sugar and Scribe exclusive is the Black Velvet, a combination of Champagne and Guinness beer. In addition, the restaurant
will have a gourmet to-go section for a quick lunch, and a fixed menu of Irish dishes for a sit-down experience. “We took the opportunity to refine the concept and make it something people can get excited about and come back to again and again,” Angelo said. To perfectly showcase the custom desserts and house-made dishes, lighting took a front seat. “(Daniels) and our lighting designer spent three weeks working on the lighting in the kitchen space and on the first floor so we would have true color lighting, because when patrons have a custom designed cake and cookies, you want to make sure the color is right,” Rochford said. “The vision of Sugar and Scribe — offering refined comfort food and a place that connects people and families — is something that really speaks to La Jolla, as the town is so family- and communitydriven. I feel like so many elements of the restaurant speak to La Jolla.” u

From Crime Wave, A1 They were last seen leaving with an undisclosed amount of cash, possibly in a light colored vehicle. The next day, two more robberies were carried out, possibly by the same men. The first occurred around 7:20 p.m. in Hillcrest according to San Diego Police Officer Robert Heims. The second, at Los Dos Pedros taco shop at 723 Turquoise St. in La Jolla, just two hours later. In the first robbery, three black men armed with weapons robbed the business, and then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Two of the men wore dark blue jeans and black hoodies with the hood up and cinched over their heads to hide their faces, and the third wore a dark jacket, gray baseball cap, black bandana and dark blue jeans, Heims said. A few days later, on the evening of Dec. 21, a La Jolla resident was robbed at gunpoint at La Jolla Cove. “My friend and I had dinner in the Village and decided to go for a walk because she’s from out of town and wanted to listen to the surf at the Cove,” he told La Jolla Light. “We sat on a well-lit bench on Coast Boulevard. We were not there three minutes when someone came up to me dressed in a dark hoodie and asked if I could help him. I said ‘no,’ but at that moment I realized he had a gun in his hand, so I threw him my wallet and cell phone. He picked them up and walked away.” The victim described the assailant as an adult black male, just under 6-feet-tall, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt,
and reported the gunman said nothing besides the initial demand. Facing a second assailant, his friend refused to give up her purse and was dragged from the bench in the exchange. The victim did not get a good look at the second assailant and could not provide a description. Distancing himself and his companion from the scene, the La Jollan soon called police. Less than a week later, on Dec. 27, the Shakeaway milkshake parlor was robbed at gunpoint, as was a La Jolla resident walking home from dinner. In the commercial robbery, two men, one of them armed, entered the Shakeaway at 723 Pearl St., at 8:47 p.m. demanding cash from an employee, Heims said. They left the eatery and met up with a third suspect outside. One of the suspects was described as a 5-foot, 11-inch-tall black man weighing 200 pounds, who was last seen wearing a black hoodie with a black scarf and a black ski mask covering his face from the nose down, a black beanie and black pants. He was also armed with a handgun. The other suspect was described as a 6-foottall black man wearing a black beanie and full ski mask with the eyes and nose cut out. Police had no description of the third suspect. In the individual robbery, which occurred within 20 minutes of the commercial robbery, the victim told La Jolla Light she was walking home when a tall (she estimates between 5-feet, 10-inches to 6-feet-tall) black male with a hooded sweatshirt approached her, and pointed a gun at her.

“It was 8:30 at night; it was amazing the brazenness of this entire thing. It’s appalling,” she said. “Even safely walking your dog is going to become a problem now.” Officers told the victim the assailants had committed six prior robberies. “I read somewhere, many years ago, to make noise and separate yourself, so assailants have two targets instead of one, and then try to get attention, so that’s what I did,” she said. Other large-scale robberies took place in La Jolla between Dec. 23-27, but it is unknown if they are related. Per San Diego Police, two suspects entered the Sunglass Hut store at 1049 Prospect St. Dec. 23 and stole approximately $2,500 worth of sunglasses. One suspect was described as a male wearing a dark jacket and blue jeans. That same night, a few hours later, two suspects entered the lobby of the Sands of La Jolla Hotel at 5417 La Jolla Blvd. and proceeded to rob the clerk. One suspect brandished a gun and demanded money from the register and safe. The suspects also demanded the clerks cell phone and jewelry. The suspects took approximately $800 in cash and property. In an additional break-in at the Sunglass Hut, Dec. 27, a suspect used a rock to shatter windows of the store and take approximately $6,000 worth of sunglasses. The suspect was described as a male, wearing a black hood, black hat, blue jeans and dark colored gloves. San Diego Robbery Unit is investigating, and will provide additional details as they become available. u

Citizens’ suit over Cove smell A lawsuit demanding the City of San Diego eliminate the sickening stench altogether is set for trial May 1 — that is, unless city officials and the group who filed the suit can reach an agreement before then. In December of 2013, Village business owners and residents organized as the Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement sued the city to address the problem. Restaurateur George Hauer, founding president of Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement and owner of George’s at the Cove restaurant — one of the eateries affected by the appetite suppressing waft — said that though sea lions appear to be hugging the portion of the bluffs closest to the edge during the day, at night he has seen as many as five sea lions atop the bluff, seemingly to escape the ocean surge. “What you find is that they go up there at night and they (defecate),” Hauer said.
s
bird guano — then believed to be the sole source of the stench. However, as the smell began to return in the fall of 2013, the city determined the source also included sea lion waste — pungent from the animals’ diet of anchovies and other oily fish. In 2014, the city continued the sprayings, completing five at a total cost of $7,000 (compared to an initial cost of $100,000 to remove years of sun-baked bird waste). City Park & Recreation District Manager Dan Daneri said further applications have been budgeted and will be made on an “asneeded basis.” (La Jolla Village Merchants Association board President ClaudeAnthony Marengo said during a recent meeting with San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, the mayor has pledged to have the bluffs sprayed monthly). The city said the presence of people on the bluffs last year significantly deterred the bird population (thus decreasing bird waste). However, according to Daneri, although lifeguards recognized a temporary reduction in sea lions on the bluff when the gate was initially installed, “as time passed, the presence of sea lions appeared to rise to pregate levels and remain relatively constant. “Sea lions appear to have become more comfortable around people and more tolerant of their presence,” Daneri said. “The number of sea lions seems to be rising slightly and they seem to access areas of Cove beach more than they did in the past.”
and the wind direction and speed. Rain, high surf and high tides have proven to reduce the amount of animal waste on the bluff, consequently reducing the odor. After spraying treatments were completed, lifeguards experienced a reduction in odor for approximately one to two weeks or longer, depending on weather conditions,” Daneri said, via e-mail. (However, the consultant the city contracts with to apply the microbial foam previously told La Jolla Light the treatment has a very limited effect on sea lion waste.)

LA JOLLA LIGHT - January 8, 2015 - Page A15
“Then, during the day, they go back down to the water again. So, all the waste is accumulating and it reeks to high heaven up there. The smell has not been solved.” Hauer called the microbial foam spraying, “a total waste of money,” saying the spraying probably helped with the birds, but when you’ve got 30 or 40 or 50 sea lions crapping up on the cliffs at night, the spraying is negated within a day or two.”
Plan B? Gerry Braun, a spokesperson for the San Diego City Attorney’s Office, said the city is set to file a motion with the court to have the lawsuit dismissed later this month. However, in the meantime, the city attorney’s office is considering a contract with Precision Behavior, a company recommended by La Jolla Shores attorney Norm Blumenthal, who filed the stench suit. Precision Behavior claims its marine mammal specialists can work with the sea lions to modify their behavior and coax them off the bluffs. Braun said if the contract is approved, he believes the group will likely drop its lawsuit. Although a representative with the company said he couldn’t discuss the pending contract, speaking with the Light last year, Precision Behavior’s David Butcher, a former corporate vice-president of animal behavior for SeaWorld, said the then $30,000 proposal involved use of operant (or instrumental) conditioning techniques — a method of learning that involves rewards and punishment for behavior. “I’m going to change the way the sea lions look at their world in a very positive way,” Butcher previously told the Light. “I’m going
to teach them that it’s preferable for them to live, rest or sleep on other rocks than the ones that they’ve chosen” (read the full story at bit.ly/sealiontrainer). Doyle Hanan, president of Hanan and Associates, a marine and environmental consulting services company the city has contracted to monitor harbor seals at the La Jolla Children’s Pool (a.k.a. Casa Beach), said sea lions are “about as intelligent as a dog, so you would expect them to adapt” to humans. Although he said he is not familiar with Precision Behavior’s sea lion behavior modification methods, a variety of agencies and companies, such as his own, provide sea lion deterring solutions. Such methods, approved under a provision of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, include harassing seals with noise, water jets and cattle prods, and use of fences. However, Hanan cautioned, “almost everything works at first, but sea lions habituate rapidly. It’s hard to deter them from going where they want to go.” Sturdy, PVC pipe coated chain-link fencing has worked to prevent the seals from gaining access to bluffs and docks in other coastal California areas, although when bashed against repeatedly by an up to 800-pound male sea lion, the fencing may bend and break, Hanan noted, especially when one is seeking food or a safe place to slumber. In San Diego, sea lions are constantly breaking into large boxes of sardines and anchovies aboard bait barges off the coast of Point Loma, Hanan said.
of noise on the seals from construction of the new lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool. As part of the city’s contract with the federal government, “intermittent” noise harassment of seals is allowed at up to 90 decibels — the level at which both human and harbor seal hearing can be damaged (sea lions can bear up to 100 decibels before their hearing is at risk, Hanan said). Ironically, Hanan noted, a child screaming at Children’s Pool can easily reach 100 decibels, while his recording of four marine jets flying overhead registered at about 90 decibels. Hanan said he has already spotted several pregnant seals at Children’s Pool beach this season. Pupping season there began Dec. 15, during which time the beach is entirely closed to human access.

While most people are honoring the new pupping season beach closure at Children’s Pool, Hanan said he recently noticed footprints in the sand indicating some people accessed the beach over the weekend. Daneri said the full-time park ranger stationed at Children’s Pool, Rich Belesky, issued two warnings to people for being on the beach since the closure went into effect, and has had contact with people coming around the wall during extremely low tides, at which times he informed them of the closure and they returned to the South Casa Beach area. Fines for accessing Children’s Pool beach during the pupping season closure are up to $1,000. u

Health at Home is the focus of La Jolla Nurses Homecare By Marti Gacioch Since 1977, providing the best in-home care has been the focus of La Jolla Nurses Homecare. The agency offers all levels of nursing care from a companion to a highly skilled R.N., and all care is supervised by an R.N. Case Manager for no additional cost. The caregivers and nurses are carefully screened, skills tested and references checked, and their credentials are thoroughly examined before hiring. “When someone calls our office, we go through an extensive intake process with them,” said company owner Brittnei Salerno. “Through a series of gently guided questions, we determine the care needs and how we might best be able to assist.” Every client is unique and needs vary greatly. But the oldest private duty homecare agency in San Diego County stands ready to serve, offering a personalized approach so clients may remain at home in a safe and secure environment. “Some people may just need us when they first return from surgery for a few days of help while they recuperate,” Salerno said. “Others may need care for a more extended period of time. If a spouse at home doesn’t know how to provide care when a nurse isn’t present, we train the family
Customized attention from carefully screened medical professionals is the hallmark of La Jolla Nurses Homecare. Courtesy members.” La Jolla Nurses Homecare assists patients with every type of disease and medical need, including respiratory and cardiac conditions, ALS, Diabetes, stroke, cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia.
Their nurses also offer specialty types of patient care, including newborn care, nanny care and post-surgery care, including after-care for cosmetic surgery and orthopedic care, including knee replacement. Salerno is following in the footsteps of her mother, Lorraine, who had the vision for La Jolla Nurses Homecare when she opened it in the Village almost 38 years ago. “My mother saw the need for private duty homecare in the community and opened her business on upper Girard Ave. in 1977,” Salerno said. Although there are now several other home care agencies in La Jolla, what sets this agency apart is their tenure here; their expertise and their reputation as leaders in the home care industry. Salerno, a La Jolla resident, teaches best practices to new homecare start-ups and is a nationally recognized speaker within the industry.

Cygnet Theatre opens New Year with ‘Sons of the Prophet’ From Cygnet Reports
Cygnet Theatre in Old Town San Diego continues its run of presenting Southern California premieres with “Sons of the Prophet” (Jan. 15-Feb. 15), the latest work by Stephen Karam (“Speech and Debate”). Premiering at New York’s Roundabout Theatre in 2011, Karam was hailed as “a major new voice in American Theater.” His brutally funny and explosive comedy was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and has received multiple other awards, including the 2012 Drama Critics Circle, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel and Hull-Warriner Awards for Best Play. Inspired by an actual news story about a high school prank gone wrong, Karam’s contemporary tale about two gay brothers dealing with a family tragedy in a run down area of Nazareth, Pennylvannia deals with themes of family, culture and resilience. Two brothers are on their own after their father dies of a heart attack two weeks after a car accident, leaving them alone to take care of themselves and their aging uncle. What unfolds is a comedy about human suffering, love, strength and hope.
‘Sons of the Prophet’ was inspired by a news story about a high school prank gone wrong. Courtesy
Director Rob Lutfy returns to Cygnet after a critically acclaimed mounting of “The Motherf**ker with the Hat” last season. Lutfy is the 2014-2015 National New Play Network Producer-in-Residence at Marin Theatre Company. He has worked on plays in development at The Kennedy Center, The O’Neill Theatre Center and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company. He was the
2012-13 William R. Kenan, Jr. Directing Fellow at The John F. Kennedy Center. He is a graduate of the directing program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts School of Drama where he returns annually to teach acting as guest faculty. “We see so much humor and pathos in these layered people,” Lutfy said. “Karam portrays a uniquely American phenomenon.
It’s an immigrant story. The world of ‘Sons of the Prophet’ is just as complicated as the conflict in the Middle East: present over past, the new world over the old world and a fall from a more prosperous, meaningful past.” The nine-member cast includes a majority of actors making Cygnet Theatre debuts as well as two actors in a long line of University of North Carolina School of the Arts graduates to gravitate to fellow alumni and Cygnet Artistic Director Sean Murray here in San Diego. The production team includes costume design by Veronica Murphy, set design by Sean Fanning, lighting design by Chris Rynne, sound design by Matt Lescault-Wood, and properties design by Syd Stevens. u n Cygnet Theatre: Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday, 3 and 8 p.m., Saturday; 2 and 7 p.m. Sunday. Tickets from $32 at (619) 337-1525, cygnettheatre.com or the Old Town Theatre box office at 4040 Twiggs St., San Diego in Old Town State Historic Park.

Robbery victim issues a caution to La Jollans On Friday, Dec. 27, at 8:30 p.m., my friend and I were walking home on Ivanhoe after eating at Alfonso’s. We were accosted on the corner of Silverado and Ivanhoe by a hooded black male with a gun … in my face. My friend asked what he wanted and for that brief second, he took his eyes off of me and I bolted into the street screaming my head off and waving my arms. There was traffic on Ivanhoe and Silverado and headlights pointed my way and some cars came to a stop. After continuing screaming my head off, which stunned the man with the gun, another black male in a hoodie, who was hidden in the shadows, came out and said, “Let’s go.” They both ran to a car parked on Silverado. I took off up Ivanhoe and my friend followed. A car stopped and a woman asked if we were OK and offered us a ride home. I was shaking and stunned at the bold and brazen attack. The woman said she walked the streets and alleys of La Jolla all the time, as I do, and was stunned, as well. She drove us two blocks to Virginia Way and we got out. We felt lucky to get out of that situation unhurt. I called the police and they came rather quickly. A detective was asking us both questions and said that our description matched the description of the two men who have been terrorizing La Jolla this holiday season. He said they had struck six times already on Girard, Prospect, Pearl and in Bird Rock. As we were speaking to this detective, he got a call from another detective saying these same two black men in hoodies held up another victim(s) and this time were successful in getting something from them. This assault and robbery occurred one block away on Herschel from where I was accosted. That detective, from Robbery Unit, came over to my house to take my statement, as well. He said they fit the same description I had given to the first detective.

o keep the spotlight on the pervasively pungent problem of marine life
I have lived here since 1975 and this is the first time I have been afraid of going anywhere in La Jolla. These holdup men are unafraid of getting caught because, as the police said, we do not have police patrolling in La Jolla. Politics and money. I have told all my friends to be careful of walking anywhere in La Jolla in the evening and they are spreading the word, as well. They are all afraid of going out at night now or walking the streets. You need to warn the residents here. If the police won’t patrol or help, then we need to be informed. Name withheld for safety reasons
Where is the study on the impact of tourism? I don’t get it. Well, maybe I do … I just don’t like it. Ever since reading in the Jan. 1 La Jolla Light about San Diego Tourism Authority’s $3 million international marketing plan, which includes La Jolla, I’ve wondered what in the world these people are thinking? What studies were done to evaluate how much more tourist traffic the marketing campaign is expected to influence and how much more La Jolla can absorb? What are La Jollans thinking? Does anyone care? Does anyone who approved of this plan — or anyone who thinks they will benefit from the expected outcomes — live in La Jolla? Do they drive on our streets? Will they deal with the impact of all this additional tourist traffic in any capacity? Perhaps I’ve missed something but I’ve seen no response or comment to it — certainly no concern. Is it that homeowners aren’t paying attention? Or aren’t present? Or somehow think they will benefit financially from flooding La Jolla with even more tourists guaranteeing its devolution as a community, as with countless other East Coast and Southern California over-crowded tourist traps? Will every neighborhood eventually turn into short-term vacation rentals for a good buck? Or just the ones where the houses are large enough
to really profit as the neighbors are powerless to do anything about it? Will every beach turn into a huge parking lot? Will every parking lot turn into a battleground? It doesn’t have to be this way, but it will be if the masses stay silent. Julia H. La Jolla
How much does it cost to operate La Jolla? I read with interest the results of the Light’s recent weekly poll asking if people thought that things would improve in town if La Jolla was an independent city. I wonder if the 56 percent of respondents who thought so realize that things won’t improve if it is not fiscally feasible to form an independent city. One of the requirements to form an independent city is to provide an independent fiscal analysis, which hasn’t been done since 2005. That study is no longer valid, but it did not include many cost items which would have, at the time, consumed the projected fiscal surplus and bankrupted the new city. I believe that people should withhold any opinions about an independent La Jolla until a fiscal analysis is provided that contains accurate, complete and valid financial data. It doesn’t make any sense to me to form an independent city if it will just go bankrupt in short order. u Dale S. Duffala Bird Rock

Kathleen Nau 1923 – 2014
Kathleen Nau passed away at her residence at the Casa de Manana in La Jolla on December 27, 2014. She was born on July 18, 1923, in Bardstown, Kentucky, the sixth of ten children of John Brinner and Elizabeth Bogard, who christened her Kathleen Lee Brinner. In 1945 she married Richard Alexander Nau of Denver, Colorado, who had served as a communications officer in the U.S. Army Field Artillery and participated in the Normandy Campaign during WWII. After the war they moved to Fort Collins, Colorado, and then to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as Richard pursued a career in aerospace engineering with the support of the G.I. Bill. They came to the San Diego area in 1952 when Richard took a position at the Convair Division of General Dynamics Corporation, where he worked until his death in 1979. They moved to La Jolla in 1958, where Kathleen remained until her death. She was a devoted mother who made her home the center of activity for all the neighborhood children. She enjoyed tennis and bridge; she worked as a volunteer for Meals on Wheels; and for
a time she also worked in real estate sales. Most of the last four years of her life were spent in the beautiful and loving surroundings of “The Casa”, to whose staff we are profoundly grateful. She is survived by her son, Robert Nau of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and his daughters, Amy and Rebecca; son, James Nau of Ramona, California, and his sons, Matthew and Alexander; and daughter, Carol Broad of La Jolla, California, and her children, Bartholomew and Claire. A private family memorial is planned. The family suggests that donations in her name should be made to the Pacific Homes Foundation at: http://www.frontporch. net/partners-andphilanthropy/pacifichomes-foundation.

Msgr. Patrick Fox 1926 – 2014
Monsignor Patrick Fox, age 88, died on December 27, 2014, of heart complications in County Mayo, Ireland. Msgr. Fox was born Patrick Martin Fox, son of Catherine and Patrick Fox in Crossmolina, County Mayo. He was educated at St. Peter’s
Seminary in Wexford, Ireland, and ordained a priest in 1952. In that same year, he was assigned to the Diocese of San Diego. During the next 50 years, “Fr. Paddy” served in parishes from El Centro to La Jolla forging many life-long friendships along the way. His last assignment was as pastor of All Hallows in La Jolla, the church from which he retired in 2002. Previous to this, he served as the pastor of St. Agnes in Point Loma, and early on, as the associate pastor of Mary, Star of the Sea in La Jolla. Upon his retirement to Ireland, Msgr. Fox was quoted as saying, “So, like the games we play as children, I am only changing chairs. Grateful to God and to all of you in this faith-filled community…I will join my family and continue as a priest of God until God calls me to my place of celebration with the Trinity. Monsignor’s funeral took place at St. Tiernan’s Church, in Crossmolina, Ireland, on New Year’s Eve. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at 4:00 p.m. at All Hallows Church, 6602 La Jolla Scenic Drive, South, La Jolla.

Alfred E. “Buzzy” Bent 1935 – 2015
Alfred Ernest Bent III, “Buzzy”, was born on May 6, 1935, in La Jolla, California. As a youngster he started surfing at nearby Wind n Sea Beach. In the early 50’s he was one of the first California teens to travel to Hawaii to surf the “big waves” on the North Shore of Oahu. Buzzy graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Business. He was commissioned in the U.S. Navy as an officer in the Underwater Demolition Team (the precursor to the current Navy Seal Team) stationed in Coronado, California After his stint in the military, Buzzy made custom surf boards, working toward perfecting the shape of the balsa wood and foam boards. He purchased a vintage wooden hulled ketch which he lived on in the San Diego harbor and sailed around southern California and Mexico. Buzzy moved to Aspen in 1961 for a winter of ski bumming. He taught skiing, joined the Highland ski patrol, worked as a waiter and took on various other jobs before forming a partnership with Hawaiian surfer, Joey Cabell, and opening the

Chart House restaurant on Durant Street across from the Little Nell on July 4, 1962. After the success of the first restaurant they went on to open three additional Chart House restaurants, including the one in La Jolla, before Buzzy sold his interest in the company. Buzzy continued to reside in Colorado where he owned an organic fruit farm in Paonia, lived in Telluride and later returned to La Jolla to open a restaurant, The Waves Bar and Grill, before settling in New Meadow, Idaho. He is survived by daughters, Dorothea Bent, Toréa Rodriguez and Rose Bent; son, Phillip Bent; and grandchildren, Tristan Harris and Nikita Huber of Basalt and Joyce and Leah Bent of Portland, Oregon. His oldest daughter, Verena Bent, died in 1984. His love of the ocean and mountains infused his life. In the words of E.E. Cummings: …and here’s to silent certainly mountains; and to a disappearing poet of always, snow and to morning; and to morning beautiful friend twilight (and a first dream called ocean).

Noise wall proposed for La Jolla Parkway to receive review
M
embers of the Hidden Valley neighborhood near La Jolla Shores will bring their proposal to extend a 200-foot noise abatement wall along La Jolla Parkway before the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation committee and La Jolla Community Planning Association for input in the near future. In September, the La Jolla Town Council unanimously lent its support to a plan by the Hidden Valley Homeowners Association to petition the San Diego City Council to extend the sound wall to the most eastern home on Ardath Road (which runs parallel to La Jolla Parkway). It was constructed in the early 2000s as part of a broader city street construction project, with the aim of alleviating traffic noise from La Jolla Parkway, though residents say it is far too short to mitigate the noise from the busy La Jolla entryway from Route 52 and Interstate 5. According to Jennifer Nichols Kearns, director of communications for the office of San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner, Hidden Valley presented their proposal to Lightner in December. “They had a productive brainstorming session … and (Council President Lightner) will continue to work with them to improve their neighborhood,” Kearns responsed, via e-mail, adding that Lightner “suggested they work with the La Jolla Traffic and
At a meeting of the La Jolla Town Council in September 2014, Hidden Valley resident Richard Haskel presented a proposal to extend a 200-foot sound wall barrier along La Jolla Parkway to reduce the impact of traffic noise. Pat Sherman Transportation Committee and the La Jolla Community Planning Association to consider whether this project is a good candidate to add to La Jolla’s list of desired capital improvement projects (which are eligible for City of San Diego funding).” Hidden Valley HOA president Richard Haskel, who started an initial petition including the signatures of nearly 50 residents along Ardath Road, said the project is moving at a snail’s pace, though he was impressed with the response from Lightner’s office. “They knew the whole story and had done
their homework …and gave us suggestions on how to proceed,” Haskel said. “We sort of took a holiday hiatus and we will prepare a presentation … and see what we can do.”
Doctors clarify different flu ‘bug’ symptoms According to the CDC, flu activity is “high” in nearly half the country. The past 32 flu seasons have shown that February is the most active month for the flu, followed
by December and then January. With the CDC announcing that the flu has reached epidemic levels, Doctors Express physicians want to raise awareness about the difference between the flu and a “stomach bug,” so people know when it’s time to see the doctor and when they can take care of their symptoms at home. One of the biggest myths about the flu is that is causes vomiting. But the flu is actually a highly contagious respiratory disease and vomiting is NOT on the list of flu symptoms. Different stomach bugs (gastroenteritis) are going around, which are contagious infections of the stomach and intestines. n Symptoms of the flu: Fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, cough, chills, runny nose and fatigue. The biggest danger of the flu is that it wears your body’s ability to fight other infections that you may get while you have the flu, such as pneumonia. Sometimes these infections can cause death. The CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) n Symptoms of gastroenteritis: Nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea and possible fever. Most people recover completely, but stomach bugs can be serious for infants and the elderly, who are unable to drink enough fluids to replace what they lose through vomiting and/or diarrhea.

LJYB forms partnership with UCSD Tritons Baseball n First pre-season clinic for La Jolla Youth Baseball set for Jan. 11
Key Dates for La Jolla Youth Baseball ■ J an. 10: Last Day to register online at ljyb.org
By Tom Murphy La Jolla Youth Baseball
La Jolla Youth Baseball announces a partnership formed with the UC San Diego Tritons Baseball program. With only 2.5 miles separating their respective baseball facilities, there is a natural affinity between La Jolla’s 63-year old youth baseball organization and UCSD’s NCAA Division II Tritons, a leader in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). Tritons Head Coach Eric Newman, the CCAA Coach of the Year in 2012, is heading into his fouth season with UCSD. Coach Newman also has a son in LJYB and helped coach the Shetland All Star team in its journey to the PONY World Series Tournament last summer. Before coming to UCSD in 2012, Coach Newman was the pitching coach at the University of Nebraska, where he reached out to its youth baseball community and developed a successful program at the Cornhusker’s facility. Newman has some baseball roots in San

He was drafted in the fifth round by the Padres in 1994 and he pitched professionally for eight seasons in the minor leagues for the Padres, Cubs, Diamondbacks and Dodgers. Developing a relationship like this takes time, but organizers will get the ball rolling Sunday, Jan. 11 with the UCSD Tritons coaches and players hosting the first annual LJYB Pre-Season Clinic for registered LJYB players in the Pinto, Mustang, Bronco and Pony divisions. There will be three 90-minute clinics starting at 9 a.m. for Pinto, 10:30 a.m. for Mustang and 12:30 p.m. for Bronco and Pony together. What is particularly exciting for these young players is the opportunity to work
out at the UCSD Tritons Ballpark, which just completed a significant multi-million dollar expansion of its facilities at 3432 Voigt Drive. These clinics will be age-appropriate, but full of fast-paced skills and drills. In preparation for LJYB Assessments on Jan. 24, the LJYB players will work on throwing, fielding, base running, hitting and for the more advanced kids — pitching and catching. Thanks to Coach Newman, his coaches and players are volunteering their time to conduct these clinics. As a result, this Pre-Season Clinic is free of charge! The following Sunday, Jan. 18 from 10 a.m. to noon, the UCSD Tritons coaches and players will host another clinic specifically for the LJYB managers and coaches,

providing them with tools and techniques to run better practices and teach the finer points of baseball. It is a rare opportunity to have access to world-class facilities, coaches and players.

section b 10 QUESTIONS
Her love of life and yoga drive Jaruska Solyova
D
uring “Prague’s Spring” of 1968, Jaruska Solyova, M.A.E-RYT 500, was twice blessed — she tasted freedom from communism and was introduced to yoga! After graduating from Czech Conservatory with a master’s degree in dance, Solyova taught at the Italian and French embassies, and performed in European theaters and television. In 1986, she moved to California to pursue a love of architecture and quickly became involved in La Jolla’s development. (Does anyone remember Jaruska Solyova her passionate speeches to the city council, or her petition to preserve La Jolla Cove Bridge Club?) By 1996, yoga was no longer just Solyova’s healthy hobby, but her primary purpose. She achieved yoga certifications through American Viniyoga Institute, MYAcademy, Loyola University and others (including a cancer/cardiac specialty) and trained in 20plus yoga styles. For more than 15 years, students at the Bridge Club and Salk Institute (prenatal to age 97) have benefitted from her compassionate and artful way of tailoring yoga, ayurveda and massage to their individual needs. What brought you to La Jolla? A love for food! In the 1980s, I was a starving dancer in my 20s, living from audition to audition. My life was filled with music, dreams and unique experiences (like walking with Barbra Streisand on the Charles Bridge in Prague filming the movie “Yentl,” and working with Marine Jahan, the “dancing body” in “Flashdance.”) But I didn’t know how to boil an egg! So, when in Rome, I met an Italian architect who was a fabulous cook. I was ready to follow him anywhere ... it happened to be La Jolla (lucky me!) That was 30 years ago, and I have learned a few recipes since then.

Hermosa Park 2014
Daily snapshots of pocket park help La Jolla resident overcome grief By Ashley Mackin ollowing a year of sadness, La Jolla resident Sandie Linn decided to make 2014 a year of beauty. To help cope with a series of personal losses and pull herself out from a deep depression, Linn embarked on a photographic art project that involved taking images at La Jolla Hermosa Park in Bird Rock every day for a year. She converted the photos into slides and compiled them into a four-and-a-half-minute video that she posted to youtube.com on Dec. 31, 2014. The video can be found by searching for “365 Days of Activity in La Jolla Hermosa Park” on youtube.com Therapeutic and purposeful, Linn said La Jolla Hermosa Park holds a special place for her, and she wanted to document its “awe-inspiring” beauty. “There was a sadness that wasn’t going away and I thought I had to do something beautiful every day. To me, the ocean is beauty, and it’s different every day,” Linn said. “I enjoyed taking these pictures and seeing how the ocean was changing and seeing what people do in the park.”

n art reception for Amanda Farber’s “Here,” and Michelle Montjoy’s “The Pit Bull Licked the Baby’s Head and Scented It with Ham,” will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 9 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. The two exhibitions will be on display Jan. 10-Feb. 14. Farber works with images derived from many sources —including imaginary forms, personal memories, photographs, textile patterns, vintage illustrations and advertisements. Her paintings are loaded with high contrasts and rhyming negative spaces. Distortion or abstraction often blurs the line between two and three dimensions with an unexpected edge or a surprising surface. She earned a BFA in art from Cooper Union, New York and an MFA from UC San Diego. Her work has been exhibited at MCASD, Quint Contemporary Art, Protea Gallery and the Athenaeum. Farber teaches at Design Institute of San Diego. Montjoy presents with familiar materials and techniques. Employing absurdity,

obsessiveness and abnormal juxtapositions, her work observes suburban tropes, personal failings, and political paradoxes. In “The Pit Bull …”, more than 300 T-shirts were collected from friends and thrift stores, cut into strips that act as one continuous thread, and then knitted into
12-foot forms resembling sleeves. The variety of stitches, shades of white, bits of logos, stains and holes, speak to the combined stories held in the shirts — all of which have served their original function. To produce the work, Montjoy said hours of solitary knitting were balanced with joyful
friend-filled sessions working on oversized hand-built knitting looms. Montjoy is a well-known Southern Californian artist, who has exhibited at the Oceanside Museum of Art, LUX Art Institute and Hanson Scott Gallery. Her sculptures and drawings have been selected for several of the
Athenaeum’s juried exhibitions. u n If you go: The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. in La Jolla, is closed Sunday and Monday. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays. (858) 4545872. ljathenaeum.org

From Daily Snapshots, B1 Her depression started after her father, San Diego resident and poet Jack Greenstein passed away in late 2012. “In January (2013) I got really sick and I didn’t understand that my body was breaking along with my heart,” she said. “For eight months, I was in this horrible pit. My doctors gave me lots of antidepressants … that works for some people, but was not working for me.” In March 2013, her son Joe got a “great and wonderful” job offer in San Francisco, so he had to move away. Although thrilled for his new opportunity, she said she felt a deep loss with her son’s departure. Already petite, Linn began losing weight, and at one point dropped to 87 pounds. As such, she lost two more important parts of her life: her daily running habit and her teaching job. “I couldn’t run with the weight loss and the changes my body was going through,” she said. “And I was so ill I couldn’t perform and do my students justice — and they were my life — so I felt even worse.” The English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher of 40 years spent much of her day confined in her home. “I needed a purpose and I needed a reason to get up and get out of the house,” she said. “And that park is a special place ... I always call it my park.” Linn noted that when she and her husband, Dan, renewed their wedding vows a few years ago, they did so at La Jolla Hermosa Park. So she started walking again, worked her way up to running, and resumed her daily runs in the park and in the neighborhood. With a small camera strapped to her wrist,

La Jolla Y offers five tips for reaching fitness goals
A
positive outlook doesn’t always translate into action, says the staff at La Jolla YMCA. Without setting manageable goals and leaning on the support of health and wellness communities, it’s hard to keep a New Year’s resolution to lose weight or become more active! Here are five tips the Y recommends to help make a healthy New Year resolution stick: n 1. Start small. If your goal is to exercise more frequently in the New Year, don’t schedule seven days a
■ The old adage, “When I got busy, I got better,” seems to be based on neuroscience findings. In her self-help psychology book, “Brain-Switch Out of Depression,” licensed cognitive behavioral therapist Arline B. Curtiss of San Diego, writes “Brainswitching is a specific kind of directed thinking … brainswitching gets us to experience, maybe for the first time, that we can have an immediate effect on our moods by manipulating our thinking. … We can see how it is possible to get our brain to do what we want, not what it wants based upon old habit patterns.” abcurtiss.com
week at the gym. Start with a reasonable three days a week. If you’d like to eat healthier, try replacing desserts with other foods you enjoy, such as fruit or yogurt. n 2. Take it one step at a time. Replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthful ones takes time so don’t become overwhelmed. Work to change one behavior at a time, and then go from there. n 3. Choose a facility that focuses on a holistic approach to health. Before committing to a membership, take a tour of local gyms to find the best fit for you. n 4. Establish a little friendly competition. Share your experiences with support groups — friends, family or fellow workout class members. Talking about your struggles and successes will make your goals more obtainable and less intimidating. n 5. Set goals with someone you love. It’s easier to stick to your resolutions if you have a partner working toward similar results. Team up with a family member to set 2015 goals, and establish a game plan. — For more information about La Jolla YMCA, call (858) 453-3483 or visit lajolla.ymca.org u

Open Sesame!
13 reasons to love this seed
T
he delightful proverb, “good things come in small packages,” so aptly describes the diminutive yet mighty sesame seed. Whether pressed into an oil of healing liquid gold, pulverized into a rich multi-purpose paste (tahini), incorporated into a blissful confection (halvah), or used as its seedy self to add cachet and flavor (not to mention nutrition) to hamburger buns, bagels and bread sticks, dial up stir fries, salads, sushi, grilled fish or chicken – sesame is the king of seeds. Sesame is one of the oldest crops grown and cultivated for its rich oil supply, especially by the people of Babylon, circa 4000 B.C. who blended it in cakes, wine and brandy. The ancient Egyptians revered the oil for its healing properties. In the folk tale, “Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves,” the magic password to unseal the bandits’ den of treasures was “Open Sesame!” perhaps because when sesame seeds are ripe they burst out of their pods with a shattering visual and auditory extravaganza. These precious petite seeds are one of the most nutrient-dense crops on the planet. They are blessed with an abundant store of protein (5 grams per ounce), amino acids and fiber, along with vitamins and minerals, including copper, magnesium, calcium, folate, zinc, iron, Vitamin B6 and phosphorous. This translates to more than a dozen benefits to amp up your health — and as an added bonus, your good looks and sex life! Here’s why: 1. Sesame seeds have a motherlode of zinc that boosts collagen production for youthful elasticity. The oil also helps prevent ultra-violet sun damage, which means fewer wrinkles and incidents of skin cancer. Sesame also provides a soothing balm for burns and other epidermal disorders. 2. Both the seeds and oil have heart protective effects by preventing atherosclerotic lesions, along with anti-
inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. 3. The seeds put the skids on cancer (especially colorectal) with the effective duo of magnesium and the powerful compound phytate. 4. Their zinc and calcium content dial up bone density and bone health, helping to ward off osteoporosis. 5. The high-fiber seeds aid in digestion and maintaining a healthy, regular colon. 6. Sesame’s magnesium has been found to boost respiratory health and prevent airway spasms particularly in asthmatics. 7. The magnesium and phytonutrients have been linked to preventing type 2 diabetes. 8. Thanks to the phytosterols, especially in black sesame seeds, cholesterol production is blocked, lowering vital levels. 9. A rich source of copper makes sesame seeds and oil a mighty foe against arthritis and achy, creaky joints, also boosting bone and blood vessel strength. 10. A good source of iron, (especially in the black seeds) this mineral helps defend against anemia. 11. Loaded with stress-busting calcium and magnesium, B6, along with tryptophan and thiamin to amp up serotonin levels sesame helps elevate mood and lessen anxiety. Also having a soporific effect it provides some uninterrupted zzz’s. 12. Sesame oil has been used like a mouthwash (swishing and rinsing) by Ayurvedic healers for many millennia to hike oral health, including reducing plaque and bad breath, repairing gums and whitening teeth by a practice called “pulling.” 13. Packed with zinc, the high-octane sesame seed has been credited with boosting testosterone levels and sexual energy in men. u — For additional sesame recipes, e-mail kitchensrhink@san.rr.com

A small cottage on Coast Boulevard served as the schoolhouse for the four children who attended the primary school that first year. As families throughout La Jolla heard about Mrs. Balmer’s work, The Balmer School expanded; eventually holding kindergarten through fifth-grade classes in what later became John Cole’s Book Shop on Prospect Street. Nearly three decades later, Mrs. Balmer and a group of dedicated parents saw the need for an independent day school that would include middle and upper school classes as well. The school (now known as La Jolla Country Day School) received its charter in 1955 and moved to its current location at 9490 Genesee Ave. in 1961. u

Timken Museum marks 50th year with rare Raphael
R
aphael’s recently discovered “The Madonna of the Pinks” is on exhibit through April 26 at the Timken Museum of Art in Balboa Park. To kick off the Timken’s 50th anniversary, the painting comes on special loan from the National Gallery, London, which in turn is showcasing the Timken’s “Saint Bartholomew” by Rembrandt in its exhibition “Rembrandt: The Late Works.” The small devotional panel, which is based on an equally famous composition by Leonardo da Vinci, depicts the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child on her lap in a sunlit bedchamber. It is an image imbued with great emotional intensity meant for contemplation. The owner would have cradled the composition in his or her hands. For most of the 20th century the picture hung unappreciated in a corridor at Alnwick Castle, England, the home of the fourth Duke of Northumberland. Subsequent investigations have confirmed the picture’s status as an original work by Raphael. In 2002, the National Gallery acquired it. The Timken is open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and noon to 4:30 p.m. It is said, ‘The Madonna of the Pinks’ is to Sunday. Admission is free. (619) 239-5548.

From 10 Questions, B1 What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? 1) I’d add a few meditation benches with quotes from La Jolla visionaries like Ms. Ellen Browning Scripps, Roger and Ellen Revelle, etc. (Does anyone know why the decorative iron bench disappeared from the front of our post office where one was able to open mail in the shade of a fragrant Eucalyptus tree?) 2) I’d subtract for one day (and this is the poet in me) all that was added to our Village in the past 100 years to see how it used to be! Practically speaking, I’d subtract the ambiguity of our abundant city “rules & regulations,” as well as the complexity of La Jolla’s current system of various committees (one too many?) that present a tangled web of bureaucracy and allow too much discretionary power. Instead, our Village should be managed in an open, direct and democratic way. 3) I would add a few more streetlights to make us safer while walking after dark and to discourage crime at night. Who or what inspires you? Poems like Rudyard Kipling’s “If,” and “Yoga for Transformation,” by Gary Kraftsow, inspire me. I’m also inspired by unbroken spirits, and sometimes, human art and nature’s creations touch my soul and give me goosebumps … Courageous people who follow their dreams are always inspiring, as are my yoga students as I watch them heal using natural medicines (like yogic breath) and then rise up to life’s challenges, transforming their lives and the world into a better place. It’s the most amazing experience! If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Sydney Poitier, “Little Princess” Shirley Temple (to keep my 4-year-old niece, Lucia,
company), Isadora Duncan, Saint Francis, Shirley MacLaine, Rumi and George Gershwin. What are your favorite movies? I’m a huge movie enthusiast — remember these? “The Seventh Cross” (1944), “Some Like it Hot” (1959), Zeffirelli’s “Romeo and Juliet” (1968), “My Fair Lady” (1964), “A Leap of Faith” (1992), and Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, “The Water Diviner” (2014). What is it that you most dislike? That would be (or to feel) abandoned, accused unjustly, betrayed, disrespected or helpless. I dislike people who are arrogant, avaricious, cowardly, prejudiced, selfish, ungrateful, unwilling to commit or bullies. I dislike people or organizations that abuse people or animals, distort the truth or stifle one’s hopes. What is your most-prized possession? I prize the gift of perception and the depth of my life experience and professional expertise, which allow me to create a safe and nourishing environment to facilitate and actualize full human potential. I prize being able to transform any kind of suffering into contentment and freedom. As for personal, tangible property, I treasure the items on my altar and my extensive multi-lingual library. They remind me of the great spiritual masters (and my highest aspirations) of being in the presence of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and trips to India. What do you do for fun? I like to watch animals and babies; play, compose and listen to music; take nature walks, swim and dance. I also like to cook “Happy Belly Deli” dishes, express my feelings in poems, essays and sketches, and travel and take photos.

f the nonprofit run by Mike and Terry Meaney was a book, you could shelve it with mysteries or inspirational stories. But without the help of some white knights very soon, the La Jolla couple’s small but mighty charity won’t have a happy ending. The Meaneys are the co-founders and underwriters of the San Diego Book Project, an all-volunteer program that since 2007 has given away more than 700,000 books to local schools, veterans and homeless groups, retirement homes, hospitals, jails, relief agencies and literacy programs, as well as book-starved villages around the world. Over the years, the Book Project has been fortunate to pay below-market rent, but a recent change in landlords at the group’s East Village warehouse means the rent will nearly triple in February. The Meaneys would like to find a cheaper warehouse and they desperately need donations, volunteers and a van for deliveries. The project has earned the gratitude of more than 800 San Diego schoolteachers and has been honored with local and national literacy awards. Terry, 66, is a retired grade-school teacher who saw how books improved the classwork of her inner-city students. Mike, 69, is a
youths in the juvenile court system (and more than 60 percent of all prison inmates), are functionally illiterate. The problems begin early. Two-thirds of students who can’t read proficiently by the end of fourth grade will end up in jail or on welfare. The idea for San Diego Book Project arose nearly 10 years ago, when Terry noticed that many of her fourth-graders at Cesar Chavez Elementary School in Barrio Logan couldn’t afford books. She reached out to Ted Kehoe and Don Brown, who co-own the online bookseller Abookheaven, and they agreed to give her their unsold inventory. Before long, the books overwhelmed the Meaneys’ home. They rented a storage locker and two of their three sons still living at home helped with sorting and delivery. Eventually, they rented a 1,200-square-foot sliver of the basement in the Jerome’s Furniture warehouse at 15th and F streets, and with their own money — about $16,000 a year for rent and insurance — they launched the San Diego Book Project. Over the years, Abookheaven has continued to supply books, and more have come in from library “friends” groups, literacy programs and private donations. The books are loaded into oversize produce bins and sorted by subject into

I don’t know what it is about books, but people love them.” Although Terry retired last July, her husband and the organization’s other volunteers work full time, so they sort and box books on nights and weekends. On a recent Sunday afternoon, the Meaneys quietly pored through a bin of new arrivals. Some donations are new, like a drawing kit with pencils Terry set aside for an artistic fourth-grader at her old school.

Others are cherished heirlooms, like a storybook with a penned inscription or a crumbling 1907 compendium of Moore’s “1 Million Industrial Facts.” There’s a box of Japanese-language poetry, a shelf of Cliffs Notes, sports biographies, science fiction, celebrity tomes and mass-market novels. The warehouse isn’t open to the public. Teachers and advocates apply to visit through the website sdbookproject.org On the first Saturday of each month, 80100 people line up at the warehouse with bags and boxes.

You have the feeling you’re treasure hunting when you dig through these pallets and find something that will bring joy to someone,” said Clark, a zoology professor at Southwestern College. “It’s such a wonderful thing to put these books in the hands of kids, because having a book of their own is a keystone in their lives.

Bullying in the Workplace Normally when we hear the word “bullying” we might think of fights on the playground or high school tormentors. Unfortunately, however, it is also an all too common behavior in today’s workplace among adults. In fact, recent studies show that most people will be exposed to bullying at some point during their working lives. It is also one of the most neglected behaviors as well. Bullying is not something to be taken lightly, but the more companies educate themselves and choose to be proactive in the prevention of bullying, the greater chance we have of reversing this trend.
What Constitutes Bullying? Bullying may occur in many different ways, overt and covert, direct and indirect. Some of the behavior that is most frequent and often intentionally hurtful may be yelling, insults, hostile glares, false accusations of mistakes and errors, excessively harsh criticism and other conduct meant to intimidate and belittle. Not all bullying is in-your-face behavior, but that doesn’t mean that more indirect, covert bullying is not just as equally harmful. More indirect bullying may include spreading lies and rumors meant to discredit a person’s reputation, sabotage of another’s work, social exclusion and the silent treatment. Many times, bullying occurs by a boss or supervisor towards his or her subordinate, but bullying can occur between any two people that share a work environment. Bullying encompasses a power dynamic, that may stem from organizational hierarchies or interpersonal dynamics, that has crossed the line and become abusive.
The Harm it Causes One of the reasons bullying is often ignored may be that people do not realize how serious the effects can be. Psychologically, the bullied victim may experience stress, depression, mood swings, loss of sleep and feelings of shame, guilt, embarrassment, and low self esteem. Some people have even developed symptoms synonymous with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The effects of bullying, however, are not limited to psychological harm. Some targets also experience physical consequences as well, such as stress headaches, high blood pressure, digestive problems, increased risk of cardiovascular illness and impaired immune systems. Another reason bullying often gets neglected is that people may feel that they don’t need to get involved with individuals’ personal relationships, and they incorrectly believe that only one person may be affected. Bullying, however, may negatively harm
multiple people, including the company as a whole. Other people affected include – coworkers who witness the bullying and grow fearful and intimidated themselves, the target’s family when the targeted victim brings the stress and depression home, and the company in general. The organization may see lower team morale, decreased productivity, absenteeism, poor customer relations, and high employee turnover, not to mention possible litigation stemming from the abuse and increased worker’s compensation claims. Prevention and Response There are three main ways in which a company can be proactive and effective in dealing with workplace bullying so that they are not only preventing it from occurring in the first place, but also properly handing it if and when it happens.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - January 8, 2015 - Page B15
930 new laws greet Californians in 2015 By Chris Nichols
with those of other Western states.
Special to La Jolla Light
A
stack of new California laws went into effect on New Year’s Day 2015. In all, 930 bills were passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown. The governor also vetoed 143 bills. A year ago, the state produced about 800 new laws. Most new laws started Jan. 1, though some high-profile exceptions — such as the state’s plastic bag ban and a paid sick leave requirement — won’t start until July 1. An ongoing referendum challenge could delay the bag ban or eliminate it. Below is a look at some of California’s most prominent new laws effective Jan. 1, unless otherwise noted:
n Fire fee break: AB 2048 gives property owners in fire-prone areas a few breaks on paying the state’s annual $150 fire-prevention fee. It eliminates a requirement that the fee will increase each year based on inflation, lowers the 20 percent late payment penalty to 10 percent and permits exemptions for homes destroyed by natural disasters. n Farm animals: Proposition 2, the 2008 ballot initiative limiting the confinement of certain farm animals, will finally go into effect more than six years after it was passed by voters. Affecting calves raised for veal, egg-laying hens and pregnant pigs, the law requires that their cages allow the animals to lie down, stand up, fully extend their limbs and turn around freely.
n Driver’s licenses: Starting Jan. 2, unauthorized immigrants in California will be allowed to take tests to obtain a state driver’s license. The DMV expects to process up to 1.4 million applications from people who live in the state illegally, as authorized under AB 60, passed in 2013. The goal is to make California’s roadways safer by ensuring more drivers are trained, tested and insured.
n Ridesharing: AB 2293 was passed with the goal of closing insurance gaps and calling for greater oversight of California’s burgeoning ridesharing industry. It applies to companies like Uber and Lyft, who offer customers with a smartphone-based alternative to hailing a taxi.
n Youth football practice: With the intent to reduce concussions and other brain injuries, AB 2127 limits middle school and high school students to 90 minutes of full-contact football drills twice per week. The law also bans full-contact practice during the off-season and requires the California Interscholastic Federation to create a protocol for an athlete who suffers a concussion. n Sexual consent on campus: Under SB 967, colleges and universities in California must adopt policies against sexual assault that revamp what constitutes consent, as a condition of receiving state financial aid. Under the new law, the standard for consent to sexual activity in campus judicial hearings shifts from whether a person said “no” to whether both partners said “yes.” Silence or a lack of resistance can no longer be deemed consent. The law only applies to the burden of proof used during campus disciplinary hearings, not criminal proceedings. n Plastic bag ban: Starting July 1, California could become the first state in the nation to phase out single-use plastic bags, first in grocery stores and pharmacies and a year later in convenience and liquor stores. Opponents of the law, however, submitted signatures this week to place a referendum on the 2016 ballot. If enough signatures are deemed valid, the law will be suspended until the electorate votes on whether to keep or eliminate it.
n Teacher firings: AB 215 makes it easier for school districts to fire abusive teachers. The bill gained traction as a compromise between teachers unions and some education-reform groups after a headline-grabbing case of misconduct in Los Angeles highlighted how difficult it can be to remove problem teachers. n Paid sick leave: Also on July 1, millions of Californians will begin earning paid sick leave under AB 1522, a law championed by San Diego Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez. It requires all businesses in the state to pay full-time and part-time workers a minimum of three days sick leave. It will largely affect retail, fast food and other service-industry jobs that don’t offer sick leave benefits. n Community colleges: Carried by Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, SB 850 allows 15 community college districts across the state to offer four-year degrees. Its goal is to boost job training and increase affordability and access to higher education. n Care facilities: Carried by Assemblyman Brian Maienschein, R-San Diego, AB 2236 would increase civil penalties for assisted living homes from the current maximum of $150 per day to as much as $15,000 for incidents that result in death and up to $10,000 for those resulting in serious injury.
n “Brown is beautiful” law: Also carried by Gonzalez, AB 2014 prevents HOAs from penalizing residents for replacing their lawns with low-water plants over concerns about a neighborhood’s character. It doesn’t take away the power of HOAs to establish landscaping rules, as long as they allow for drought tolerant plants. n Kill switches: Smartphones made after July 1 and sold in California must come preinstalled with anti-theft technology that allows the owner to temporarily or permanently render the phone inoperable if stolen or lost. Under SB 962, customers would be prompted to enable the kill switch as the default setting during the initial setup of a new smartphone. They can choose to opt out. n Groundwater: A trio of bills, SB 1168, SB 1319 and AB 1739, end the state’s pump-as-you-please groundwater policy. It requires water districts to develop plans to manage their groundwater and allow the state to intervene if necessary, bringing California’s groundwater rules into line
n Gun control: SB 505 requires law enforcement agencies to develop policies that encourage officers to search the state’s database of gun purchases before conducting routine welfare checks on people. The bill was prompted by sheriff’s deputies failure to detect the danger posed by a man who weeks later embarked on a deadly rampage in May near the University of California, Santa Barbara. n Revenge porn, selfies: The state’s “revenge porn” law is expanded under SB 1255 to make it illegal to distribute nude photos of someone even if they were taken by the subject. n Massage parlors: AB 1147 allows local governments to revoke the license of any massage parlor that violates the law. It is intended to make it harder for massage parlors to operate as fronts for prostitution. n Sexual abuse: SB926 gives sex-abuse victims more time to pursue criminal charges against offenders. It raises the age ceiling from 28 to 40 for childhood sexual abuse victims to file criminal complaints. u

Realtor Darcy Delano-Smith of Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty honored for philanthropy
L
a Jolla Realtor Darcy Delano-Smith of Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty was honored Nov. 13, 2014 with a 10 Best Dressed Award. Founded and produced by Leonard Simpson, the awards annually honor 10 men and 10 women who are recognized not simply for their fashion sense, but more importantly for their giving spirit and philanthropic efforts. The 2014 10 Best Dressed Award Gala, was held at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, with proceeds from the evening benefiting Dress for Success San Diego, a local nonprofit aimed to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women and their families thrive in work and in life. Born in San Diego, Delano-Smith graduated from La Jolla High School and received her B.A. in History from UCLA and UC San Diego. Growing up among a family of Realtor entrepreneurs, she learned real estate from an early age and said she knew it was the career she was meant to do. Delano-Smith has been selling real estate in San Diego and California since 1987, and joined Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty in 2011. “Real estate is really about getting to know people, listening to their needs and goals and helping them achieve their dreams,” she said. “My business affords me the opportunity to get to know each of my clients on both a professional and personal
Darcy Delano-Smith level and find out the causes they are most passionate about. Many of the philanthropies that I’ve supported are ones that I have learned about through my clients.” Delano-Smith was a board member on the Foundation of La Jolla High School 2008-2011. She and her daughter, Cameron, were members of the San Diego Chapter of the National Charity League for six years. She has been a supporting member of Childhelp USA for the past 25 years, chairing four fundraising galas for their San Diego chapter. She helped start and support the Luau and Long Board annual event for cancer research. Recently, she has become involved with the Dolling Foundation. n Darcy Delano-Smith is based in Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty’s La Jolla office and can be reached at (858) 361-2097 or e-mail darcy.smith@sothebysrealty.com u
