La Jolla Shores sinkhole under investigation

INSIDE

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Acknowledging that little is yet known about the sinkhole situation that occured Jan. 6 at the western end of Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores — including what went wrong and when it would be fixed — City of San Diego field engineer Steve Lindsay attended the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) Jan. 13 meeting to share what information he did have with trustees. “During the last storm event, the end of Avenida de la Playa kind of exploded on us and collapsed,” Lindsay said, explaining that the street dropped by two feet, exposing a gasline and creating a sinkhole. “The obvious culprit was the super high storm surge the likes of which we haven’t seen in a while … But we need to figure out what the failure mechanism or mechanisms was that caused the damage.” While Lindsay didn’t want to speculate on a timeline without more information, he approximated it would take four to six weeks to repair the street. He added that because SEE SINKHOLE, A18

Town Council president Steve Haskins holds an actual-size plastic cylinder, standing next to a model of what the proposed sea lion barrier could look like.

Committee proposes spinning cylinders to prevent sea lions from climbing Cove bluffs BY ASHLEY MACKIN he La Jolla Town Council’s Coastal Committee believes it has found a solution to the pervasive sea lion population (and the noxious odors and human hazards that come with it) which they would like to see tested at La Jolla Cove. After months of research, the committee presented its proposal to approximately 50 people at a forum Jan. 12 at La Jolla Community Center. The proposed solution is to install stainless steel cables across key access points on the lower portion of the bluffs next to La Jolla Cove (which the sea lions use to climb to upper levels) and string rotating, plastic cylinders across them so the animals cannot climb to the larger, flatter area. “When the sea lions attempt to pass over them, the cylinders spin. No matter how much they try to get traction, they can’t,” said committee chair Steve Haskins, president of La Jolla Town Council. “These are almost indestructible boat-dock bumpers … these are made to be outdoors in the ocean for years at a time. They are inflatable and very soft to be safe for the animals. The air pressure within can be SEE SEA LIONS, A3

FROM SEA LIONS, A1 adjusted, and they would be painted to match the color of the rocks.” He added that the committee would consider setting them up so they spin one way – toward the ocean – so if an animal does get over the barrier, it can get back out, and signs “in seven languages” would caution that the cylinders are not to be climbed on or played with. The posts and cables would be installed on a lower ledge of bluffs that sea lions can access for rest, which are “washed when the tide comes in,” Haskins said. Further, he said, by placing them on the lower level, there should be minimal impact to ocean views. Haskins said historically, there was a guardrail installed at the lower level, so there are already holes in the bluffs where the posts could be staked. “We might have to drill a few two-inch holes about 24 inches deep to put more posts in, but that’s the extent of ‘construction,’ ” he said. “That’s how simple it is.” The cylinders are readily available for purchase, and nothing would have to be specially ordered or made. Haskins said companies have made similar barriers for coyotes, and to keep cats in or out of yards, both of which have been “very successful” he reported. The cost is estimated at $14,000. In addition, Haskins said, the City of San Diego would not have to look far to find a precedent for a barrier such as this one. Less than half-a-mile away, a rope barrier was installed at Children’s Pool to separate marine mammals and people. “The city got permission from the California Coastal

Commission to put the rope barrier up with the expressed purpose of protecting the pinnipeds from people. We’re doing the same thing here. It’s a slightly different barrier, but it’s a barrier to separate people and sea mammals —so a precedent has been set!” Previous attempts to deter the sea lions from gathering on the upper Cove bluffs included installing a gate for pedestrian access, with the hope of people-presence scaring them away. To address their prevasive odors, the city has been spraying a microbial agent monthly, which “eats” animal waste. However, many have argued while effective on bird guano, it is not effect on sea lion waste. The sprayings would continue to address the smell associated with bird guano. The Town Council Coastal Committee – comprised of Haskins, Joe Pitrofsky, Yolanda de Riquer, Taylor Bloom and Lawrence Zynda – formed last April to find a solution specific to the geography and topography of the bluffs at the Cove. They came to their barrier solution based on research with agencies such as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), city

officials and other coastal communities. “I love this idea because if it doesn’t work, it’s easy to remove, no harm, no foul … compliments to the committee,” said La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) vice-chair Joe LaCava. “A very important thing for us, as La Jollans, is to build a consensus that this is what we want. That’s what City Hall wants to hear.” He suggested groups such as La Jolla Village Merchants Association, La Jolla Parks & Beaches, LJCPA and others, discuss the proposal to build such a city-proof consensus. Agreeing, Haskins said he would wait to proceed with the plan until other community advisory groups have a chance to weigh in. With community consensus, Haskins said he would present the plan to Mayor Kevin Faulconer. City Council President Sherri Lighter, whose district includes La Jolla, has been informed of this proposal but rather than endorse it, recommended it go through La Jolla’s community groups for review and input. “As a community activist, Council President Lightner has always been supportive of citizens engaging to better their communities, however, she generally does not endorse specific proposals until they have been fully vetted through the planning process,” said Jennifer Kearns, Lightner’s communications director.

Two days later ...

At the Town Council’s regular monthly meeting two days later, the board recapped the proposal forum, which Pitrofsky said seemed “well received.”

One question raised at the forum was where the sea lions might go if they are not able to haul out on the bluffs at the Cove. Haskins, Pitrofsky and Bloom focused on this point at the Town Council meeting. Haskins said based on their discussions with NOAA experts, he learned that sea lions prefer rocky areas over beach environments. As such, he did not think they would migrate en masse to the beach at the Cove or nearby Children’s Pool. Pitrofsky opined, “They could move toward Devil’s Slide where there are more rocks. They tend to like to stay dry, so they will move far enough away (from the ocean) so they won’t be splashed by waves. We don’t know all the unforeseen consequences (from the spinning cannister barriers) but we want to solve the problem of their overwhelming stench. Hopefully, if the sea lions move, they will spread out (so their odors are not so concentrated).” Bloom added that she did not think they would migrate to Children’s Pool because “sea lions and seals don’t get along.” After a brief discussion, the Town Council voted unanimously to support the proposal. “While we want to get a community consensus that this is something we want to recommend to the city, we still need city administration support and then they need to get the necessary permits,” Haskins said. As a next step, Haskins said he would present to the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group meeting, 4:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25 and the La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4. Both groups meet at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollatowncouncil.org

La Jolla Town Council first to support proposed MAD Foundation next takes its plan to other La Jolla boards BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Town Council unanimously voted to support efforts to establish a Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) in the Village of La Jolla, during its Jan. 14 meeting. In presentation similar to the one given at the La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting Jan. 7, La Jolla Community Foundation executive director Julie Bronstein and steering committee chair Mark Dibella explained what the MAD would achieve and answered Town Council trustees’ questions. “This is something whose time has really come,” said Town Council president Steve Haskins of the MAD. “It should have been done a long time ago. We are being asked to support this so it can move forward. That’s exactly what we should do, support these people trying to improve La Jolla.” Bronstein said the MAD would

be managed by a nonprofit organization called Enhance La Jolla, under the auspices of La Jolla Community Foundation. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, the proposed MAD (which is similar to the MAD in Bird Rock managed by the Bird Rock Community Council) would beautify and improve the Village through maintenance above what the city can provide and some capital improvement projects. “La Jolla is one of the most beautiful and iconic locations in San Diego if not all of California. But it is also an older community and suffers from a lack of ongoing maintenance,” Bronstein said. “We often see overflowing trash cans, dirty sidewalks and untended landscape areas. This leads to the degradation of the Village, and as a result, we are seeing more vacant storefronts, impacts to property values, and less vibrant public spaces.” She said Enhance La Jolla would manage the MAD funds and contract for ongoing maintenance services for the district. A MAD is funded through annual assessments on property taxes and supplemented with private donations. The amount to be assessed residents is being

La Jolla Town Council trustees Cathy Jones, Al Ramirez and Brandon Heess determined, but at the Town Council meeting, Dibella said it would likely be around $95 annually. Enhance La Jolla would create its own volunteer board of directors to determine which projects get implemented, comprised of stakeholders in La Jolla, and Dibella urged Town Council members to join. “Committees like this one have streetscape sub-committees, and if (that committee gave us) guidelines on the look of trashcans, our role would be to look at how many would be needed, how much they

would cost and raise private donations for them,” he said. When questioned by Town Council trustee Charles Hartford as to whether raising private dollars would limit city dollars for services, Bronstein said, “The projects we are looking at doing are ones the city couldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole because they don’t have the funding.” She said she found that other areas with MADs work “hand-in-hand” with the city to ensure services provided by the MAD supplement those provided by the city. The La Jolla MAD would be

comprised of a residential zone and a commercial zone that encapsulates most of the Village. “The professionals advising us say this is a good size to start with,” Dibella told trustees. “If it works, we can expand it, but we don’t want to bite off more than we can chew. We want it to work.” Town Council trustee Ron Jones questioned whether a MAD conflicts with the Business Improvement District (BID), which imposes a fee on business owners and is managed by the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association SEE MAD, A25

BROKER

BY ASHLEY MACKIN While a heartfelt thanks and admiration is in order for those who perform surgeries on children with birth defects and/or injuries in underserved countries, La Jolla surgeon Amanda Gosman has found a way to take treatment a few steps further. Gosman has worked with UC San Diego and Rady Children’s Hospital for the better part of 10 years. She has been UCSD’s director of craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery since 2006, and joined Rady Children’s Hospital as program director of the craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery fellowship in 2013, among other appointments. Putting her expertise to good use, Gosman founded a 501(c)3 called ConnectMed International in 2010, which uses “tele-medicine” to provide much-needed follow-up and pre-operative assessments to those in other countries who undergo surgery to repair cleft palates, burns or other injuries, as well as provide ongoing educational partnerships with their healthcare providers. “Here in San Diego, when we treat someone with a cleft palate, we provide them with ongoing care using a whole team approach, including orthodontists, speech therapists, audiologists, psychologists and follow-up

examinations. We have a team of 10 people who focus on these different areas,” she said. “What we’re trying to do is replicate that experience in other parts of the world.” Although carried out with good intentions, Gosman said the lack of follow-up after performing surgery on those with birth defects or injuries can cause complications later on. “When surgeons go international, they might fix a cleft palate, but don’t always see how these kids do in the long run. For example, speech therapy is critical for those with repaired cleft palates, and while these countries might have trained surgeons, they might not have trained speech therapists,” she said. Enter ConnectMed International. Using tele-medicine in the form of live video conferencing or exchange of video files, physicians with expertise in needed fields from the United States can connect with medical teams in countries where those resources are limited or not available. She said she and her team have studied whether there is a difference in outcome with speech therapy care via tele-medicine or in person, and haven’t found any. As an added bonus, Gosman said this type of international outreach is a “great opportunity” for UCSD students. “Medical students in training can learn

www.lajollalight.com about using technology and treating international patients, which also helps get them interested in humanitarian work,” she said. “We have had students come together for tele-conferences to talk to a group of patients or watch a surgery live.” Gosman herself has had a longtime interest in international work, starting when she was in high school. Born in Louisiana but raised in Ohio, Gosman started her international exploration with a trip to Guatemala and the Amazon to assist on a mobile surgical truck. “That was my first exposure to tele-medicine. We were able to screen patients in advance and follow up, even though it was just through radio at that time,” she said. “I learned about medical disparities throughout the world.” For years, Gosman traveled the world, performing surgeries on those in need, but the lack of follow-up always bothered her. Her first-hand experience prompted the formation of ConnectMed International. Now, she is looking to the future of ConnectMed and how to improve services even further. “We’re working on developing a tool to measure outcomes and changes in quality of life following a procedure. But they need to be developed with appropriate language for difference cultures, so we’re developing one in English and in Spanish so patients can report quality of life changes, which is one of the most important components and a lot of our justification for doing surgery,” she said. “We get to use technology to overcome a lot of

“From a logistics standpoint, after I had her, it was harder to be farther away for longer periods of time … so I’ve focused on more local partners or working down in Mexico,” she said. Such partnerships have included surgeons in Baja and

Tijuana, Mexico and tele-conferencing with medical facilities in those areas. “San Diego has such incredible opportunities for collaboration in our backyard and across the border,” she said.

FROM SU CASA, A1 When heard at the La Jolla Development Permit Review Committee (DPR) meeting last month, though findings could be made for the project, the committee recommended Marengo present the project to La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory group (T&T), and continue negotiations with the City Engineering Department for traffic direction/calming elements on La Jolla Boulevard. At issue was the driveway that feeds into and from La Jolla Boulevard — which Marengo said was placed there to minimize impacts to surrounding, smaller streets — and whether Marengo should present to T&T to discuss possible traffic calming measures. However, Marengo said such measures are not a project requirement and that a traffic engineer reportedly did not see the need for any when reviewing the project. “The reason we have a major collector street, like La Jolla Boulevard that is wide and very visible, is to allow for traffic to come and go with ease in the center aisle, and blend into traffic, accelerate and go.” Still, LJCPA trustee Mike Costello, who also sits on DPR, insisted, “It’s on La Jolla Boulevard and that’s a major artery; I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for traffic calming. You have a great structural project, but DPR opposed your not having answers to what the (impact) is going to be on our street.” Marengo responded by saying the number of average daily trips with the residential mixed-use project is expected to be less than the current number generated by SuCasa restaurant, and therefore would

be a reduction in impact. Further, he said because the number of daily trips is less, a traffic study was not required. LJCPA trustee Joe LaCava noted he didn’t think it was “fair” of DPR to make the traffic evaluation request at its final DPR review. “If the DPR wanted T&T input, they should have told you at the onset and you could have done it concurrently. Because we use T&T as a subcommittee, we can use discretion and make our own decision. We do not need T&T to weigh in.” Ultimately, LJCPA ratified the findings of the DPR committee without requiring input from T&T and approved the project. From here, Marengo later told La Jolla Light, the project will go to the city for final review. He said if all goes well, the project could break ground this fall. In the meantime, SuCasa restaurant remains open for business.

DPR conducts preliminary reviews for three projects Houses in WindanSea, Muirlands, Soledad neighborhoods are slated for more action BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee (DPR) was introduced to three proposed home projects during its Jan. 12 meeting at the Rec Center. Presented for a preliminary review, no action or vote was taken on the projects, and the three applicants will return to a future DPR meeting for additional reviews and possible approval. ■ Buckingham tear-down: For the Buckingham demolition, Dustin Hauck requested a coastal development permit to tear down an existing 3,235-square-foot single dwelling unit, 701-square-foot detached garage, pool house, swimming pool and shed(s), at 1525 Buckingham Drive. While Hauck said there are “considerations” for what would be done with the demolished lot, no further plans for development were presented. He said the house is vacant, has not been maintained and is falling into disrepair. This raised an eyebrow from DPR member Diane Kane, who said she was apprehensive about approving a demolition without knowing what would go in its place. “I’m uncomfortable splitting projects like this …

said applicant Sasha Varone. “So the plan is to build a new house for themselves and another new house to sell.” For each house, plans include a first-floor kitchen, dining room, sitting area in the front, with three bedrooms and attached bathrooms on the second floor, and a third floor “penthouse” with a game room or entertaining area. While the two houses are identical, Varone said the two structures are not mirrored, to ensure privacy. “So if you are in the main bedroom, you would be looking at the stairs of the neighboring house. If you were in another bedroom, you’d be looking at a closet.” Tentative exterior designs include lighter stucco with limestone and steel on one house, with darker stucco and copper tones on the other. Other homes in the area, even on that block, include a mid-century modern, craftsman, adobe, etc. What was not known was the landscape plan, so DPR requested the applicant return with a sample board of materials, tree retention plan and landscaping. The item was heard at the Jan. 19 DPR meeting, and will be included in next week’s La Jolla Light. ■ Cabaj remodel: For the Cabaj residence at 5713 Desert View Drive, applicant Peter Klein requested a site development permit for work on an existing two-level addition to a single family home, grading, excavation, retaining walls, and pool on a property containing SEE DPR, A25

La Jolla Wellness Studio offers free nutrition lecture Jan. 30 BY MARTI GACIOCHE La Jolla Wellness Studio will launch 2016 with a lively nutrition discussion by Yvonne Nienstadt, nutritional director at Rancho La Puerta, 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 30 at 7580 Fay Ave., Suite 103. Studio manager Janelle Fischer promises a good-natured “food fight” that morning. As many have experienced, she said, finding the "best" diet is rarely an easy task. The options can be staggering. Low-carb, vegan, gluten-free, high-protein and paleo are only a few of the current popular diet regimes. And foods can be just as controversial: Are grains really killing us? Is soy as bad as some say? Is dairy? How much protein do we really need? What fats are best … and how much? What are the latest weight-loss and health schemes? These are just a few concerns that attendees can ask Nienstadt to tackle. "Healthful food is the building block of whole body wellness," Fischer insisted, "and now with so many dietary choices, it helps to have an expert nutritionist like Nienstadt sort through the pile of options and clarify the differences (both plus and minus) for each individual." But eating well is only part of the health equation, the other side is fitness. La Jolla Wellness Studio is well known for its

revolutionary fitness program, the MyoMetrix Method, a 30-minute workout based on four principles: Measurement, Preparation, Drive and Recovery. The studio also offers its clients an in-body analysis to show them what their body fat percent, muscle mass, BMI (Body Mass Index) and hydration levels are. It also shows how many calories the body burns at rest, which helps the trainers devise a customized nutrition strategy. La Jolla Wellness Studio further provides iLipo Xcell Laser services to help those interested lose inches, tighten skin, reduce cellulite and contour their bodies for immediate results. After the nutrition discussion on Jan. 30, attendees can learn more about the studio's fitness methods and try out the equipment to discover the big difference La Jolla Wellness can make in their health regimen. Take advantage of the latest technology and keep yourself accountable for the New Year with measurable results! RSVP by Jan. 29 for the free event. ■ La Jolla Wellness Studio is at 7580 Fay Ave., Suite 103.

Burgeoning La Jolla Sports Club to add spin studio FROM SPORTS CLUB REPORTS The La Jolla Sports Club at 7825 Fay Ave., is expanding to open a spin studio in the spring. After just 11 months of ownership, Brett and Kera Murphy said they plan to add to the prestige of La Jolla Village by focusing on the customer experience. With recent growth in memberships, La Jolla Sports Club has added new equipment, but lacked the space to offer a dedicated high-end cycling studio. With service at the forefront of their mission statement, the Murphys made the decision to purchase the old Alessandro Hair Salon and offer the ultimate health club experience. Their plans call for an addition to the already spacious 20,000-square-foot facility. Phase One of the project will expand the workout floor into the old Alessandro Hair Salon, opening up the floor space for an improved functional training area and rack room.

The club owners will also upgrade to LED lighting throughout the facility, add new flooring, TRXs, plyo-boxes, turf, and a sled to satisfy the hungry cross trainers. Phase Two of the expansion will focus on the state-of-the-art Spin Studio. The studio will feature 41 new bikes (product to be determined by the end of this month) and a dedicated area for stretching before and after classes. The technical rider and novice alike will benefit from the increase in classes and one-on-one training options, said the Murphys. Child care is available seven days a week to help members with children enjoy the upgrades across the health club. The couple said La Jolla Sports Club prides itself on the customer experience and listening to its members — accessibility and responsiveness has been a major key to their success and growth. Look for the expansion coming spring 2016, and contact La Jolla Sports Club at (858) 456-2595 for more information.

the city considers the area an “emergency site,” funding is available for the repair. As part of Sewer and Water Job 809 — to repair the sewer and water lines throughout the Shores, including Avenida de la Playa — crews are working at the end of Vallecitos next to Kellogg Park. Once they are done, Lindsay said, they will move over to Avenida de la Playa and get to work. First, the city has trucks with vacuuming capabilities that will be used to clean out the sand and debris that could interfere with the investigation. However, he said, “all the trucks are tied up, because there are a lot of places in the city that experienced damage in the last storm.” Once the area is vacuumed out, crews will “peel back” the street that was damaged to take a look and see if there is any other evidence as to what might have gone wrong. “We don’t want to San Diego field rush into this, pour engineer Steve Lindsay the street exactly as it was, and then have the same issues,” he said. One early discovery is that the street was reinforced two-and-a-half feet down, but there was an additional few feet that could have been reinforced, but were not. Another observation Lindsay noted was that the box culvert structure that protects the storm drain might not be as watertight as city engineers presumed. “The joints were supposed to be water tight, but we saw some leakage that caused additional damage and undermined the street,” he said, adding that the box culvert was modeled to withstand a “10 year storm,” one so strong it only happens once every 10 years. “We’re not going to take the culvert out, but we need to make the joints water tight if we determine they are not,” he said. “We’ll do that as soon as possible.” Sewer and Water Job 809 has been underway, block by block, since December 2013, with breaks for the summer construction moratorium. The Avenida de la Playa section that collapsed was repaved May 2015. The project was scheduled for completion in March, but the sinkhole likely added two months to the project.

In other Shores Association news:

■ Say ‘cheese,’ er, ‘moo’: Health Fox, executive director of the La Jolla Historical Society, announced staff would be re-creating the historic photo of cows on the beach in La Jolla Shores. “Many people have seen this photo of cows on the beach in front of the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club,” he said, showing the board an enlargement of the 1906 photograph. “This year marks the 110th anniversary of this photo. Our project is to commission the creation of a new photograph of cows on the beach for 2016.” Fox explained the Historical Society commissioned a photographer to create the photo and recruited 11 cows from Van Ommering Dairy Farm in Lakeside. The cows will be transported to the beach and handled by students in the Future Farmer’s of America program. The date scheduled for the photo shoot is Sunday, March 13 at around 7 a.m., Fox said because sunrise is scheduled for 7:01 a.m. and low tide is predicted at 7:31 a.m., which would give the cows some time to get used to the new environment and provide adequate light, with minimal interference from beachgoers. LJSA voted to support the project unanimously, and lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky said while the project had the tentative support of lifeguards, they needed to confirm with the City Attorney’s office before giving their thumbs up. ■ What’s up for 2016: LJSA Chair Nick LeBeouf said his goal for the coming year is to better collaborate with other Shores advocacy groups. “There are a lot of people who want to help the community,” LeBeouf said. “We have the La Jolla Shores Business Association, La Jolla Shores Surfing Association, Friends of La Jolla Shores, etc. Sometimes it feels like we stand alone … and I’d like to see more of a joint effort with projects and getting people involved. The more people involved, the better our community will be. That’s what I’d like to see in 2106.” — La Jolla Shores Association next meets 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org

Muirlands class hears plight of young refugees Students hold book drive for International Rescue Commitee program BY JORI MENDEL Muirlands Middle School alumna Judy Bernstein discussed with eighth-grade students on Jan. 5, a book she helped author with three Sudanese “Lost Boys,” which depicts the agony and struggle they endured. “They Poured Fire On Us From the Sky,” is the account by these boys of an unimaginable journey they made while fleeing Sudan’s civil war. The boys endured hunger and strength-sapping illnesses — dysentery, malaria and yellow fever. They dodged life-threatening predators — lions, snakes, crocodiles and soldiers, eventually resettling in San Diego. After the discussion, the students were treated to a surprise musical performance by 16-year-old Rodi Youssef, a recent Syrian refugee. Bernstein, spoke of how prior to 1987, the boys had a peaceful life in Sudan. When oil was discovered and Sudanese families were displaced from their homes at gunpoint because the land was so valuable, Sudan’s civil war began. Families’ lives were destroyed, parents were killed, daughters were sold into slavery and the young boys, left alone, had no choice but to flee. With little more than the clothes on their backs, if that, they traveled throughout Sudan in search of refuge. Their journey led them first, to Ethiopia, and then back into Sudan, toward Kenya. They walked nearly 1,000 miles, sustained only by the sheer will to

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS ‘Seals’ lawyer Bryan Pease enters city attorney race Bryan Pease, an attorney known for lobbying to protect the seals at the Children's Pool in La Jolla, has entered the highly competitive race to succeed Jan Goldsmith as San Diego city attorney. Pease, 37, becomes the fourth Democrat in the race, joining Gil Cabrera, Rafael Castellanos and Mara Elliott. Robert Hickey is the lone Republican. The two candidates who get Bryan Pease the most votes in the June 7 primary will run off against each other in November. Pease, a University Heights resident, touts his 10 years as a private sector attorney winning cases against San Diego related to free speech and protection of the seals. He said facing three other Democrats may seem like an uphill battle, but he prefers it to facing one entrenched Democrat. Pease ran unsuccessfully against Democrat Sherri Lightner in a 2012 City Council primary. For more information, visit bryanpease.com

Community planners to fill seven seats in March election Are you a resident, property owner or business owner in La Jolla? Have you attended three La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meetings since March 2015? Then you qualify to run in LJCPA’s March 3 election for a seat on its board.

The LJCPA is recognized by the City of San Diego to make recommendations on local matters, including protecting the integrity of the La Jolla Community Plan and assuring its implementation. This year, LJCPA will fill seven seats of volunteer trustees to make these decisions. LJCPA president Cindy Greatrex said via e-blast “Becoming an LJCPA trustee is a great way to have your say in building and infrastructure projects in La Jolla. It is challenging work, but very rewarding.” There will be a candidate’s forum at LJCPA’s Feb. 4 meeting at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. That meeting is the last opportunity to announce a candidacy. In the meantime, LJCPA is posting announced candidates and their statements at lajollacpa.org/elections.html To learn more about LJCPA, current trustees, membership qualifications, attendance records, and meetings visit lajollacpa.org or info@lajollacpa.org

U.S. taxpayers will get a three-day extension this year The IRS has announced that the 2016 Tax Season will begin on Jan. 19 and that the filing deadline will be extended this year by three days, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. Instead of the traditional April 15 cutoff date for sending in your 2015 returns, the deadline this year will be April 18.

Coastkeeper: 2015 totals show a troubling trend of trash oceanbound Tiny shards of plastic food wrappers. Large discarded crates. Volunteers collected a staggering variety of trash, both big and small, from San Diego County beaches during a series of cleanups hosted in 2015 by the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter and San Diego Coastkeeper. The environmental groups train volunteers to track the type and number of items they pick up during cleanups, ask them to note unique items and help them weigh the total contents. In 2015, 7,360 volunteers removed 9,825 pounds of debris from coastal areas, capturing it before it could pollute the ocean. For yet another year, cigarette butts were the most prevalent type of debris found (79,083 pieces), followed by plastic (17,342 pieces) and bits of plastic foam (13,970 pieces). Cleanup organizers say it is alarming that cigarette butts topped the list again, and their numbers increased from the previous year. The percent of plastic found in the total items collected this year stayed the same this year as last, totaling 43 percent of the items collected. Plastics are particularly damaging to the marine environment, as they do not biodegrade, and are easily ingested by wildlife. Many of the plastics collected were pieces less than one inch in diameter, and much of it was non-recyclable expanded polystyrene foam, aka Styrofoam. For the second year, Fiesta Island had the most trash collected per volunteer in 2015 with 4.68 pounds of trash per volunteer. Interested community members can help at one of the 40 cleanups planned for 2016 by visiting sdcoastkeeper.org or surfridersd.org

What do you think of the La Jolla Town Council Coastal Committee’s proposal to install rolling barriers to keep sea lions off the bluffs at La Jolla Cove and to minimize the Village odors they cause? We asked this question after the Committee’s meeting, Jan. 12. (See related story, page A1)

“I’m hopeful but I’m a little disappointed. We need to address the pollution aspect and this project didn’t. That part really worries me. People are getting sick from the contamination. I used to SCUBA dive and swim at the Cove, but I just won’t anymore because of the contamination.” — Cathy Hammond

“The Committee did a great job. They really did their research to come up with a solution. I think we’re on a great road because this solution seems viable and I’m hopeful it will keep the sea lions off the upper rocks. There are a lot of other rocky areas where they can go … they are versatile.” — Dan Simonelli

“It’s a great idea as long as it works. It solves one of the problems with the sea lions and I like that it’s an economical quick fix, which I need because I live near there and I get nauseous and my eyes burn (from the smell). But they did not address the core problem of the exploding sea lion population.” — Diana Hill

“The concept is a great, but I have some concerns about the implementation of it. There are hurdles we are going to have to get over, like permitting. But I think something needs to be started at least because people come here and think nothing is being done about the stench.” — John Shannon

POTOS BY BARBARA HEMMINGSEN

Sidewalk danger more than two years old still not fixed

Attached to this letter are two photographs of a serious defect in the sidewalk to the north of 6656 Avenida de las Pescas. Over the past two years, I have sent similar photos to various San Diego city offices and to City Council President Sherri Lightner of La Jolla without a meaningful response. The problem is getting more severe. I hope publishing the photographs will focus attention on this hazard before someone is seriously injured. — Barbara Hemmingsen crisis, La Jolla is in good hands. A frightening personal experience, such as this, makes one fully appreciate the fine service performed by our police, firemen and medics. — Gabriel and Mary Rayes

Aim water cannons at bluffs

Here is an interesting photo taken last week by our great niece Nicole Singer from Littleton, Colorado. I know you can come up with a good caption if you use this! — Bill and Claudia Allen

My practical solution for managing the La Jolla wildlife stench problem would be to (on a calm day) run one of the Port of San Diego’s new harbor police/fire fighting vessels around the waters off La Jolla. Let them use their powerful long-reach water cannons to wash down the rocks where this excrement problem exists. It could be done as often as needed and would be only a gentle temporary disruption to the wildlife. First, use a light spray to move the animals from the area. Then use a hard spray to clean the rocks. There is an unlimited supply of water natural to the wildlife. No disruption to visitors on sidewalks above. — Martin Haase of Bonita

High praise for San Diego emergency personnel

Sea lion barriers could harm animals in storms

On Jan. 6, a driver lost control of his SUV, crashing it into our house and leaving a gaping hole in the wall. The noise and impact were tremendous! Thank God, as far as we know, the driver was not badly hurt and no one in the house was injured. We wish to heap praise on all emergency personnel who came rushing to our aid. The 911-operator was very calming and professional, and the emergency response was lightning fast. The police and firefighters, accompanied by the ambulance, arrived within three minutes. Shortly after, the gas company and city inspectors came to insure there were no hazardous leaks. The situation was handled with great calm, efficiency, helpfulness and sensitivity. While the rain poured down they all stayed on alert, as the SUV was being towed from its perch on our front wall. It was a long, wet, afternoon and everyone involved deserves the highest praise. I must also mention CC and R Company, and Serv Pro, for rushing over to provide excellent emergency repair and generator service. It is comforting to know that, in case of

What happens when storm surges and higher than normal tides come in like they did with the last storm we just experienced? Is someone going to be assigned to remove the barriers so the sea lions can access higher ground? This is especially important to discuss as with Climate Change predictions we can expect this more often/as the norm in the near future. I do not support this initiative. I believe the wild non-human animals are entitled to some La Jolla shoreline and there are smells that come with nature. Even without seals/sea lions the ocean produces odors at times — it’s natural. But if the spinning cylinders barrier plans go through, there is going to have to be someone responsible for making sure the sea lions can find sanctuary in a storm. — Stephanie Corkran

Their flips are sealed!

Political move was a good one Joe LaCava is to be commended for withdrawing from the

Could someone please build the Village a parking garage? Iron Eyes Cody would still have a tear running down his face if he was here in La Jolla today to see all the cars polluting the atmosphere looking for parking places. After more than 20 years in business here in the Village, we’ve noticed that the parking hasn’t improved. The problem is going to get worse when the building at 1020 Prospect St. with 93 parking spaces is turned into condos and the 13 condos will have three parking spaces each. Our wish for La Jolla would be that some philanthropist would come forward to build a parking garage. Many have contributed so much over the years to Scripps, San Diego Orchestra, medical research, libraries and the performing arts, and it is really appreciated, but a parking garage is needed, too. It would certainly benefit thousands of the residents and tourists, plus it would help the environment. We know the majority of La Jollans do not want parking meters. However, what Seal Beach did was put parking meters in a parking lot, and similarly, Palm Springs put parking meters in a parking garage. No parking meters on the street. This way, a customer who might only want to park for 20 minutes doesn’t have to pay $10 for a parking space with no in or out privileges. We realize this is a wish that many have had since we’ve been here, but, hopefully, it will come true some day. — Clair and Jean Thelin, La Jolla Cove Gifts

Joe LaCava joins the Barbara Bry camp After announcing his withdrawal from the San Diego City Council District 1 race, Joe LaCava on Jan. 14 endorsed Barbara Bry and encouraged his supporters to get behind her campaign. “Barbara has shown great vision in advocating for the issues affecting San Diego neighborhoods. She’s got plans to tackle short term vacation rentals, protect our neighborhoods, ensure a reliable water supply, preserve our natural environment, and grow San Diego’s overall economy. She’s the only candidate in this race who is not tethered to downtown Barbara Bry special interests, and she will be an independent voice for our communities. I encourage my campaign supporters to put their full backing behind Barbara Bry because she is the candidate who will win this race for all of us,” LaCava said. Said Bry of the endorsement, “I am very grateful to have the support of a respected community leader like Joe LaCava. He has dedicated himself to improving our neighborhoods by lending his policy expertise as a volunteer on local advisory boards and commissions. He truly understands the City land use and planning process and I look forward to working together with Joe to develop new ideas for

moving San Diego forward.” Bry will host a campaign event, “Neighborhood Leaders for Barbara Bry: Headquarters Opening, Campaign Rally & Canvassing Kick-off” 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 23 at 3202 Governor Drive, Suite 205.

Environmentally Sensitive Lands. The project involves modification to an existing structure and modification of “site improvements.” The home is located on a steep slope overlooking Rose Canyon. Klein explained a landslide eight years ago prompted the city to build a storm drain, which discharged right near the property. To mitigate the damage, a retaining wall was installed without a permit. Klein intends to bring the property to city code and upgrade the home through minor renovations. However, DPR members expressed concerned about the extent of the modifications to the slope and the restoration of a sufficient area of the slope.

MAD, it freed up funds for the City’s General Fund. “The city doesn’t have to worry about funding landscape maintenance with General Fund money if it’s coming from the MAD. It works well in Mira Mesa, we like it,” Horst said. As early as this spring, the San Diego City Council could vote to approve a resolution of intention to form a MAD, which triggers a vote of the affected property owners. Although the entirety of the 92037 ZIP code would not be eligible to vote, anyone who would be assessed a MAD fee would receive a ballot in the mail in late spring. Ballots are weighted based on the size of the property owned. The results of the vote would go to the City Council for verification in the summer.

They requested Klein return with: the engineer’s report on the vibration received at the home and the recommended measures to repair this condition; consideration of a different configuration of the retaining walls so they follow the contours of the site; a colored landscape and re-vegetation plan that shows restoration of all disturbed areas of the property; a comprehensive design indicating the updated and final extent and type of all development of the retaining walls; and a calculation of the open space preserved areas that result from interpretation of the steep slope area.

FROM MUIRLANDS, A19 Ervin-Fugiel explained the project’s genesis. “When BOOKSHELF (a Muirlands Foundation fund that provides Muirlands classrooms with books from every genre and launched in 2014 by a parent) generously offered to arrange for an author to speak to our students, I felt the talk would be relevant to our current civil rights curriculum,” she said. “This book about three young refugees who settled in San Diego fit the bill perfectly. Plus, this topic is especially significant with the current influx of refugees into Europe and the United States.” In connection with the event, Muirlands students collected more than 300 new and used books to donate to the International Rescue Committee, which settled many of the Lost Boys. The donated books will be delivered to refugee students throughout San Diego. PHOTOS BY GREG RONLOV

Life Tributes

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Cynthia ‘Cindy’ Singer Polger June 11, 1957 - January 12, 2016

La JoLLa — Cindy Polger was born June 11, 1957 in Denver, Colorado. She passed away at home on January 12, 2016, after courageously battling carcinoid, a rare form of cancer, for about a year. although she lived in California for 30 years, she was always a Colorado girl. She came into this world bound and determined and unique, especially unique. She stayed that way her whole life. She danced to the beat of her own drummer, and was incredibly proud of it. She was stubborn, opinionated and lovely. She had spunk. She went to aSU for a year and then transferred back to the University of Colorado. She worked in the hotel business for various chains, including a year-long stop in Vail, a place she fell in love with, and a place that she called her second home beginning a couple of years ago. Cindy and Lorne met in Denver and she

agreed to join him in Los angeles for law school. They moved to San Diego in 1988, making their home in North Park. after olivia and Myles were born, they relocated their family home to La Jolla in 1996. Cindy worked in public relations for many years, taking on a variety of different clients, mostly in the non-profit sector where her passion lay. She was a great mom and made it her mission to be heavily involved with the kids, their schools and their activities. She was on just

about every committee at Birdrock Elementary, Muirlands Middle School and La Jolla High. Whether you knew Cindy for a day or a lifetime, you knew that her life was one of giving and touching lives. She did so many things purely out of the goodness of her heart, not for acclaim, not to social climb and not to get her name out. She just made a difference. She was one of the most charitable people ever. She was proud to be involved with Words alive, Planned Parenthood, San Diego Women Give, The Girl Scouts, and Congregation Beth Israel, among countless other organizations. She would unconditionally support all of her friend’s charities, with a check and a smile. She never cared about material things. The most important things to her were her kids, friends, family and her community. She loved her friends, all of them. Every day, she

told someone she loved them. She is survived by her husband, Lorne; her children, olivia and Myles; mother, Renee Singer; brother, Paul Singer (Nancie Carroll); and countless friends and family members. She will be missed, but her spirit will live on in the many lives that she touched. a memorial service was held at Congregation Beth Israel on January 15, 2015. In lieu of flowers, the family would be honored by a donation in Cindy’s memory to the charity of your choice or to one of these organizations which Cindy has long supported: Congregation Beth Israel Caring Community Program, 9001 Towne Center Dr., San Diego, Ca 92122, cbi@cbisd.org; or Words alive, 5111 Santa Fe St., Ste. 219, San Diego, Ca 92109, info@wordsalive. org.

RESEARCH REPORT

Vaccine could aid Down syndrome patients Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine and the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS), in collaboration with AC Immune, a Swiss biotechnology company, will test the safety and tolerability of an immunotherapy vaccine that targets Alzheimer’s disease-like characteristics in adults with Down syndrome. Down syndrome (DS) is caused by an abnormality on chromosome 21, which, among other things, includes the gene regulating expression of amyloid-beta, which is the main component of plaques that accumulate in the brain and are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. The likelihood of a person with Down syndrome also developing Alzheimer’s is three to five times greater than a person without DS – and it will appear much earlier in life. Virtually all DS patients display beta-amyloid neuropathology by age 40. The ACI-24 vaccine is designed to induce antibodies against beta-amyloid, reducing its accumulation in the brain while not triggering a larger immune system response. For more information, call Holly Hainley at (858) 246-1300.

Molecular ‘switch’ may cut nicotine’s effects Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have discovered that a lipid (fat molecule) in brain cells may act as a “switch” to increase or decrease the motivation to consume nicotine. The team’s findings in animal models point to a way that a drug might someday return this lipid to normal levels, perhaps making it easier for smokers to quit.

SECTION B

Physician pens how-to guide to optimal health BY LINDA HUTCHISON Roddy Carter, M.D. advocates using technology to help us log 10,000 steps, five days a week, but as he explains, that’s just one part of his inspirational new book and overall message. In "BodyWHealth: Journey to Abundance," Carter shares his passion for teaching and encouraging others to achieve optimal health. A former physician and expert in sports medicine, Carter lays out a practical approach, based on science and honoring natural design, in his book. "Mother Nature is very clever, with its hormonal and Dr. Roddy Carter chemical system," he said, noting, if we work with this natural order, evolutionary principles, we are that many steps closer to achieving health, happiness and prosperity. Carter outlines his advice in keys, which include exercise, nutrition, sleep, recreation, social interaction, overcoming excuses, believing in oneself and cultivating a sense of purpose. In other words, he is interested in total transformation, on all levels. A lover of technology, he said it's good for us to keep track of our exercise and food intact, using whatever gadgets and apps work for us, but not just for the logging of total miles or calories. “Those successful with weight-loss keep track of what they eat,” he explained. “This is not so much for the calories, but mindfulness at the plate, eating the right things." Carter's book and consulting practice emerged from both his personal transformation and professional journey. He said his interest in science and helping others began 10,000 miles away in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he was born and earned his medical degree. He worked for years as a family physician and treating trauma patients. Raised by liberal parents who were both educators, he was at odds with the apartheid government, which he described as morally depraved. Nevertheless, he was faced with helping those who suffered physical violence working for change or living with violent aftermath. A sports-lover, Carter said he wanted to treat more than sickness and injuries. He earned a master's degree in sports medicine and founded the Centre for the Study of Exercise, Nutrition and Muscle Science at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. There he coached Olympic athletes and participated in SEE HEALTH, B10

Fat-burning Fantasies

La Jolla Cultural Partners

ometimes I wish I had a background in science instead of just a Ph.D. in skepticism. The latter, however, is a seriously good quality to have in an election year. I’m already fully prepared not to believe a single word any candidate says. And speaking of not believing anything, ‘tis the time of year for all the diet ads that promise us redemption for the food felonies of the holidays. It occurred to me as I read the ads for these products that maybe what you need for a career in the health and beauty world is not a degree in biochemistry but an MFA in creative writing. In this market, “science” could be defined as the systematic study of duping the general public into believing that those purely magical properties you’re proclaiming for the product are even remotely true. As practice for what will be a wearying year of election rhetoric, I decided I’d start ratcheting up my parsing skills on the ad pages of current magazines. There was a lot of competition, but the ones that really captured my attention were the ads for “fat burners.” This is creative “science” writing at its best. Here are some of my faves: ■ “Combo-Pilling” (love the techno term) “is the uber-trendy ‘underground’ practice of

combining two or more diet pills to create ‘supercharged’ weight loss.” (Is it also known as overdosing? Is that how you end up ‘underground’?) ■ “BiphedAdrene is a complex Phenylethylamine Provisional (note science-y words the reader is not likely to know, and even less likely to look up) plus an Aggressive Thermogenic formula.” (Would doing sit-ups in the sauna have the same effect?) ■ “Vysera-CLS can not only help you lose weight but can actually resh-ape your entire body.” (Washboard abs, all without exercising! Could you lose weight twice as fast if you combo-pilled it with BiphedAdrene, above?) ■ “The 14 day Jumpstart Kit target(s) your excess body fat with a Maximum Strength Fat Burner that promotes preferential loss of body fat mass… It encourages lipolysis (release of fat from mature cells) and inhibits the activity of phosphodiesterase.” (Note definition of lipolysis but no explanation for phosphodiesterase. If you don’t know what it means, you don’t deserve to lose weight, you oinker!) But inquiring minds wanted to know. I looked up Phosphodiesterase: “an enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond in an

SEPr H JzeO V I nalist foad Zoo J fi A ri R er P aghd n Writte

Pulitz er at the B l Tig Benga

oligonucleotide.” Well THAT makes me feel better. ■ “Akävar-20/50 (note umlauts – foreign is always better, Scandinavian is better yet) is a Calorie Blocker (love the caps) that literally causes excess fat to be pulled from bulging parts of your body! Sound too good to be true? (Yes, actually!) This was all determined in a groundbreaking study [also known as “30 years of time-consuming detailed research”]. ■ “Zantrex-3 is a veteran in the Calorie Blocker market. It not only blocks calories to help you lose weight fast but is also famous for the incredible energy boost it provides. (Translation: it contains speed.) It has been shown to offer 546 percent more weight loss than American’s No. 1 selling ephedra-based diet pill.” (Not 542 percent? And I was right about the speed.) ■ The fat burner Xenadrine Ultimate promises “powerful weight loss” via its “key ingredient: c. canephora robusta.” Google that and you’ll find the “c.” is “coffea.” It’s coffee beans. Save yourself the $26.99 and drink a few Red Bulls! ■ But I think my personal fave fat burner would have to be 1.M.R.VortexTM: “Turn your body into a lean, sexy fat-melting machine with 1.M.R.VortexTM! It uses one of the

Wicked humor.

industry’s biggest weight-loss secrets: yohimbine. This powerful ingredient is extracted from the bark of a West African tree.” (Far away is always better. God forbid it should grow in Omaha.) I hope yohimbine remains a secret. Online research described it as a “toxic crystalline compound obtained from the bark of the yohimbe tree, used as an adrenergic blocking agent and also in the treatment of impotence.” Who needs those little blue pills? And you burn fat at the same time! Probably from that all that sex? “In addition to yohimbine, 1.M.R.VortexTM also contains white leadwort …which stimulates your central nervous system.” Boy, does it ever! HolisticOnline.com noted white leadwort “stimulates the central nervous system in small doses, while with larger doses paralysis sets in leading ultimately to death. The blood pressure shows a slight fall.” (I’m betting it’s more than a slight fall after death.) But white leadwort only gets worse: Under Uses, HolisticOnline.com notes: “The root of this herb is a powerful acro-narcotic poison. It will expel a fetus, dead or alive.” Yowsers! Don’t sugarcoat it, HolisticOnline.com! Personally, I think 1.M.R.VortexTM comes with more excitement than I could stand. I’ve concluded two things from this research: 1) Reading and evaluating product ads would be good practice for vetting claims by political candidates. 2) There are worse things than being fat. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light.

Vinegar: Culinary and Household Wonder

inegar is one of the few condiments that has survived the test of time and is practically in every household across the land — whether in the kitchen pantry, garden shed, medicine chest or laundry room. Gourmet vinegars, among the staples of top chefs today, can be traced back 10, 000 years, probably created by serendipity when the contents of an ancient wine vessel turned. The French lay a solid claim to naming this fermented acid, “vin aigre,” which translates to sour wine. Here’s a primer to help you get the best out of this remarkably multi-tasking liquid.

The Basics on Acids

Producing vinegars is a lesson in culinary biochemistry as natural sugars undergo fermentation to form alcohol, then a second round of fermentation to form acids. There are over two dozen types of commercially produced vinegars, (having at least 4 percent acidity) using grapes, fruits, honey, cane sugars, beer or grains to infuse acids with interesting and zesty notes to suit all palates.

Vinegar Varieties

• White or spirit vinegar, clear and

highly acidic is all-purpose for pickling, marinades, baking and household disinfecting and cleaning. • Low acidic distilled vinegar (distilled from ethanol) less intense than white vinegar is used for more delicate taste buds. • Apple cider, an amber colored vinegar frequently unfiltered containing the residue or “mother” of the vinegar, (strands of protein and friendly bacteria) is made from cider or apple must. This vinegar, while used for dressings and pickling, is also sipped warm as a soothing digestive beverage. • True, traditional balsamic vinegar is produced in either the Italian provinces of Modena or Reggio Emilia from sugary Trebbiano grapes. Rich, dark brown and robust, this sweet-flavored Methuselah of vinegars is aged for over a dozen years. Whip up a glossy glaze (see recipe) to drizzle on wild-caught salmon, pork chops, burgers, pastas and salads, fresh berries or gelatos for a pop of brilliant color and intense flavor. Or add a splash of balsamic to gazpachos, mixed greens, melons, sandwiches, fresh heirloom tomatoes or mozzalla cheese. • Fruit vinegars, including raspberry,

blackcurrant, persimmon and quince derived from fruit wines are best used for sweet or dessert preparations. • Tangy wine vinegars, from either red or white wine, wood-aged and filtered have relatively low acidity. Ideal for marinades for fish, fowls, meats and vegetables along with sauces and salad dressings. More exotic varieties of wine vinegars include champagne and sherry. The former is a delicate, light vinegar with notes of vanilla, produced with the same grapes as its bubbly namesake. While the latter is a rich, mahogany-colored aged Spanish variety, robust yet delicate in flavor with distinct woodsy notes. Note: Migraine sufferers be warned of the tyramine in red wine and balsamic vinegars that could contribute to those head pounders.

cooking. • Add a teaspoon of white distilled or cider vinegar to a pot of boiling potatoes to keep them white. • Perk up wilted vegetables by soaking in a bowl of water and vinegar. • Add a teaspoon of vinegar to water before cooking rice to make it fluffier.

Vinegar Versatility

Other than tantalizing taste buds, vinegar has been lauded for centuries for its health benefits. From pantry to pharmacy, vinegar, particularly apple cider has been found to boost the absorption of nutrients, relieve heartburn, soothe sunburns and bee stings, prevent breakouts, lesson discoloration of bruises, whiten teeth and freshen breath, remove warts and age spots, clear up toenail fungus and dandruff, ease a sore throat and bronchial congestion, alleviate morning sickness along with achy joints and nighttime leg cramps, hike energy levels, and cure the hiccups!

Fish and Tips

• For firmer, sweeter, more tender fish, soak in a bath of vinegar and water before

Recipe: Ginger Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients: • 1 cup balsamic vinegar • 2 tablespoons of either brown sugar or honey • 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger

Method: Add ingredients to a small saucepan and heat on medium until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes syrupy. Let cool. — For additional vinegar recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

JULIE GALLANT

Local recording artist releases debut album BY JULIE GALLANT Eliza Rose Vera found plenty of inspiration for her recently released debut album “Letters to You” at nearby beaches including La Jolla Cove, which is depicted on the album’s cover. She said the soothing waves provided the perfect backdrop for her to musically release pent-up emotions she couldn’t express in words. “The music is so personal. It’s all about my experiences and things that mean a lot to me,” said the 21-year-old singer/songwriter who lives in La Jolla. “I often go to La Jolla Cove. I wrote a lot of songs there just sitting and relaxing. It’s so easy to get in the right mindset for creativity here as opposed to sitting inside.” The medley of seven original songs on “Letters to You” developed slowly over the past year as Vera saved money to afford recordings by working as a sales clerk and marketer at Swoon Collection fashion boutique on Ivanhoe Avenue. The recordings were made more affordable with discounts from Peter Duff, owner/producer of The Grey Brick Recording Studio in Lemon Grove, as he was getting his business established locally after moving from Pomona. Vera turned her strong emotions into a collection of uplifting tracks including “God Only Knows,” which references surfing at WindanSea. Duff first connected with Vera when he saw her performing at an Adams Avenue street fair in late summer 2014 and liked her great energy playing acoustic guitar and fun, catchy tunes. “Her songwriting was really good,” Duff said. “I thought it would be easy to take them and add something to it.” Shortly after the introduction he was in the studio adding instrumentals and playing percussion for Vera’s acoustic melodies that would become “Letters to You.” He says his favorite songs on the album, on which Vera

has written and sung all seven songs, are “Lights” and “Not Our War” because they have more of a cohesive band feel. “I was really happy with the way it came out,” said Duff, who plans to soon produce another single with Vera, which will hopefully become part of a larger album project. “It ended up fitting her vision for it really well.” Versatility is Vera’s forte as she balances her musical side with business acumen. Armed with a business administration degree awarded last month from the University of San Diego, she’s a virtual one-woman band when it comes to promoting herself. From leveraging social media to writing press releases, Vera has a website, elizarosevera.wix.com/elizaroseveramusic where she links her album to iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon and Google Play. The website’s calendar also highlights upcoming shows at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 30 and Lestat’s Coffee House in Normal Heights, 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25. The enterprising musician who juggles her own combination guitar lesson and childcare business Safe ‘N’ Sound and a new job at The Lot, movie theater on Fay Avenue, has a history with the area. Born and raised in New York, Vera said she lived in La Jolla as a baby, when her fashion designer mom Barbara Huba was running Huba Jackets on Drury Lane. Since then, she’s periodically visited La Jolla. As a child growing up near Albany she sang in a choir and learned to play the clarinet. Her affinity for the guitar developed as her mom played the instrument and she won a blue electric guitar at a raffle. Her affection for the acoustic guitar developed further when she saw counselors at summer SEE VERA, B7

As years went by she became a teenage YMCA counselor herself, performing the first song she wrote, titled “Luckily Me,” at a campfire gathering called Chapel. “I got up there in front of hundreds of people at camp,” she said. “I sat down, put my notebook in my lap and started playing my song. And it went dead silent. No one was saying a word. I finished my song and stood up and people gave me a standing ovation. “I remember looking out and crying a little bit. That’s when I realized, Eliza you’re

meant to do this. … From then on, I kept writing and singing.” The mostly self-taught musician plans to keep composing and add to her repertoire of playing the piano and ukulele with a new instrument or at least a new style of guitar. She wants to keep performing in the area and boost the loyal following she gained at USD where she performed several shows per week at events like fundraisers and graduations and opened for bands like The Mowgli’s and Atlas Genius. “People are trying to recognize local musicians more,” said Vera, who dreams of traveling while keeping La Jolla her home. “So let’s get their names out there.”

Re-‘cycling’ A Good Idea

La Jollan repeats photo-a-day project in 2015

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Inspired by a photo project she completed in 2014, La Jolla resident Sandie Linn embarked on another such project in 2015. With the start of this month — and a new year — she can officially say that each day in 2015, she took a photo to match a theme. Every day in 2014, Linn snapped an image at La Jolla Hermosa Park and subsequently created a video collage she posted on youtube.com for all to see. Similarly, she decided to spend each day of last year taking photos of bicycles and bicyclists, and also created a video collage for YouTube. “After the La Jolla Hermosa Park photo project, I kept carrying my camera whenever I would go on a walk or run. I liked the positive feeling of it and each run gave me something to look forward to,” Linn said. “When I decided to do a photo-a-day project again, it gave me a sense of intrigue since I didn’t know what the theme was to be yet; I didn’t know what I would shoot each day.” But wherever she went, Linn said she saw bicycles or bicyclists. When riders would take a break, Linn said she could take time and stage a shot. “When I first started, I had to adjust because cyclists are moving and I didn’t want a blur. I would wait until they parked their bikes, or would shoot their backs after they passed. But then I thought it would get boring to only shoot backs, so I worked at shooting their faces. When I decided to start photographing faces, I felt very bold. But more often than not, I got smiles, a wave or a thumbs up. Some would stop and ask my why I was taking their picture. I got to know these people as a result.” SEE PHOTO-A-DAY, B25

FROM HEALTH, B1 research studies, helping test new treatments for conditions such as exercise-induced asthma. This led to another leg in his journey, executive positions in the bio-tech and pharmaceutical industries. In 2001, he and his wife Karen, a teacher, and their four children (two sons and two daughters) moved to Princeton, New Jersey for what was to be a three-year assignment. They decided to stay. Carter quickly rose to the top of his field, becoming CEO of WellGen. "By outward appearances, I was successful," he said. “But a few years ago, I began to feel as if something was missing. I was working six days a week and I felt that life was rushing by." He also wasn't happy with how he felt or looked — older than his years, overweight and out of shape, not the strong, lean athlete he used to be. “That’s when I realized a major reboot was in order,” he said. He began applying his professional knowledge to his own life. "There were two of us: the physician walking alongside the rebooting Roddy, using science and watching Roddy develop a healthy lifestyle." He tried to keep the physician a compassionate, rather than a finger-wagging one. During this transformative time, he made several discoveries beyond the physical body, he said. Wealth became "whealth," meaning the fullest possible life — physically, mentally and emotionally. “Health is our greatest wealth,” he said. Also during this time, two of his four children began attending college in

California and the Carters moved to La Jolla. It was the right location for launching his new book and career as a life coach and lecturer, he said, "I liked the lifestyle and it was part of my reboot and dedication to life. I only have to look out the window every morning to see why we moved here. We are a physical family and spend a lot of time outdoors, surfing, hiking.” As part of his consulting service (BodyWHealth.org), Carter works with private and corporate clients, and also offers video conferencing and “walk and talk” coaching sessions.

Thar’s gold in Holmes’ Nome Alaska caper

herlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are known for their amazing partnership solving crimes that leave most detectives in the dark. The world premiere of playwright Joseph Vass’s “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Great Nome Gold Rush” may be the most fun of the Holmes stories yet. The plot begins in London where Holmes is asked to solve a crime, supposedly by Reginald Ingram (Julian Diaz, who also plays the attorney for Charlotte). His immediate findings take him and Watson to Nome, Alaska where the Gold Rush is at its height with the town full of prospectors, thieves and those who drink their way through the day. This creates good business for Wyatt Earp (Richard Baird) and his wife Josephine (Jacquelyn Ritz) who now operate the local saloon where Sherlock, Watson and a host of other characters hang out. One is Charlotte (Katie Karel), a good friend of Josephine’s who has lost her husband and is trying to take control of his gold mine claim. A corrupt judge (John Tessmer) is doing all he can to see she doesn’t get the claim. Vass has created a great story with several subplots and interesting characters, who keep the audience guessing. Directing nine actors in lively and physical roles on NCRT’s intimate stage could not have been easy for David Ellenstein, but the transitions between scenes and scenarios come off well polished. Jason Maddy’s varied talents as a performer, teacher and director position him well as he employs all one would expect to find in Sherlock Holmes. Several times throughout the play, he resorts back to what he’s known for — scientific exploration of a crime. In this instance, that revolves around bugs. There’s also very enjoyable and surprising moments when he plays the violin. Music is a big part of the play as the characters sing and dance (well done by Karel and Ritz) in the saloon. Both actresses are

Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper (Dr. John Watson) and Jason Maddy (Sherlock Holmes) up the intrigue and laughter. exceptional as their characters. Tessmer is extremely good as the mean and obstinate judge. Louis Lotorto plays two characters and really offers what some of the miners must have been like in the Gold Rush days, as he also bit plays with jokes. Baird, one of NCRT’s go-to-actors, has two roles. Mainly, he’s a tough bartender keeping order in the saloon, yet shows a tender side when dancing with his wife. Adding to the intrigue of the bunch is Andrew Barnicle as a tall Texan-type who pops in and out of several situations. The laughter probably overpowers the thought-process behind Holmes’ fact-finding, but together they combine to provide an excellent night of fresh entertainment. Special thanks for the splendid scenic design by Marty Burnett, which makes the audience feel like it’s right in that saloon. ■ IF YOU GO: “Sherlock Holmes and The Adventure of the Great Nome Gold Rush,” runs through Feb 14 the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Exhibit sheds light on Chinese workers of Transcontinental Railway FROM UCSD REPORTS A new exhibit that tells the undocumented story of thousands of Chinese migrants, who played an instrumental role in the construction of the nation’s first transcontinental railway in the 1860s, is on display through Feb. 29 in Geisel Library on UC San Diego campus. Produced by the Chinese Historical Society of America (CHSA) and the Chinese Railroad Workers Project at Stanford University, “The Chinese and the Iron Road: Building the Transcontinental,” seeks to increase awareness and appreciation for the contributions of Chinese Americans. To celebrate the opening, a free, public reception will be held 3-5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22, in the Seuss Room in Geisel Library with remarks from organizers, including Murray Lee, Curator of Chinese American History for the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum. To make a reservation, visit http://lib.ucsd.edu/ironroad CHSA is continuing to collaborate with the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University (CRRW), which seeks to identifying descendants of railroad worker families to honor the memory and legacy of their pioneer forefathers. By sharing the stories of the descendants of known Chinese railroad workers who helped to build the American West, the initiative hopes to increase awareness and appreciation for the significant role the workers played in completing a monumental and life-changing project.

COURTESY OF THE KYLE WATT COLLECTION

The exhibit traces the laborious and often perilous four-year construction (1865-1869) of the U.S.’s first major east-west railroad, beginning with the bill signed by President Lincoln authorizing the undertaking. Some 12,000 Chinese laborers toiled at a grueling pace, and in extremely dangerous working conditions to help construct the railroad, which was actually two railways meeting in the middle — the Central Pacific from Sacramento to the east and Union Pacific from Omaha to the west.

Local entrepreneurs create stress-busting workshop for teens From Local Reports Three La Jolla businesswomen have teamed up to help teens reduce stress with a skills workshop they’ve titled, “The Sunday Chill.” They say the event will “tap the mind, body and creativity to teach teens the tools for relieving stress and rebuilding balance.” The first “Sunday Chill” is set for 2:30-5 p.m. Jan. 31 at Kalabash School of Music & the Arts, 5725 La Jolla Blvd. The cost is $59 with registration at kalabasharts.com “Teen stress is on the rise and the impact of it can be devastating,” said Joanie Connell, Ph.D. author of “Flying without a Helicopter: How to Prepare Young People for Work and Life,” and president of Flexible Work Solutions, a La Jolla-based consulting firm. Connell will host the workshop assisted by health and wellness specialist Linda Vazin, who has a studio in La Jolla where she coaches people in breath, yoga and Pilates, and musician/artist Natasha Kozaly, who owns Kalabash. “One in four teens suffers from anxiety or depression,” Connell said. “We’re not talking about adolescent drama; it’s school that’s stressing them out. There is so much pressure on teens to get good grades and go to good colleges, especially in high-performing high schools, such as those in La Jolla.” Vazin added, “Teens have a lot going on and don’t know how to control their fears and anxieties.” She plans to guide participants through transformational

Today’s youth face a variety of pressures from home, school, peers and society. breathing exercises to relieve restricted patterns in their bodies so they can feel joy and inner peace. Since opening Kalabash, Kozaly has created a sanctuary for artists. “Art provides people a healthy place to express themselves freely and disengage from the stresses of

life,” she said. Connell said her work as an organizational consultant, reveals how important it is to get stress under control to be successful in life. “Lack of balance is a source of many career setbacks, failed relationships and health problems among achievement-driven

employees,” she said. “It’s important to develop healthy habits early in life to avoid these pitfalls.” — For more details, call Kalabash School of Music & the Arts at (858) 456-2753.

Prepping Your Home for Vacation December is a big month for travel as many of us visit family or take advantage of the winter vacation to head out for a special trip. Whether you go for a short weekend getaway, a week, or a long vacation adventure, it is important to make sure that your home is secure. Here is our quick guide to prepping your home against anything from burglary to more common malfunctions. Look lived-in. The ﬁrst precaution most of us know about is to keep our homes from appearing empty. Burglars are getting craftier in these

more desperate economic times. If you can, invest in a house-sitter to have a guaranteed pair of eyes on your house throughout your absence. However, we understand this isn’t always practical. For long trips, try to have a neighbor or someone you trust check in on your house once in a while to look out for any signs of trouble. Before you leave, make sure all windows are closed and locked. While this seems automatic, some people have upper level windows that they leave open year-round. This might be okay if someone is always in the house, but it can be an invitation to savvy burglars who know they have an empty house to plunder. And it’s easy to forget about those always-open windows. Make sure you put it on your ﬁnal checklist before you leave. It’s always a good idea if you have sliding doors to put a wedge (like an old broomstick, for example) in the track to prevent the door from being forced open. It’s handy to have motion-sensor lights

around the outside of your house, but if you don’t have time to install those, stop by your local hardware or home goods store and pick up a timer for interior lamps. For extra security, set lamps in different rooms to go off at slightly different times to make it seem more organic, NOT automatic. When you return, invest in an outdoor sensor—those are an extra layer of security to have even when you are home. Put a hold on your mail and any newspapers, or make sure you have a reliable neighbor or friend who can pick those up daily. If you have a lawn, make sure it stays trimmed—or give your yard a good, close landscaping before you leave. Park your car or cars in your garage if you have one. If you’re driving and won’t have a car in your driveway, ask a neighbor to park a car in yours while you’re gone. Take precautions to avoid electric malfunctions.

In case of power outages, unplug computers, televisions, and small appliances. With the added threat of a possible El Nino, you don’t know what might happen with electrical shorts or transformer box explosions. If you can’t completely turn off your thermostat because of plants or pets, set it for the lowest possible heat setting and the highest possible cool setting. You will also be grateful when your water and power bill comes. Do a test of your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to make sure they are functioning properly. If you think your battery is close to needing a replacement, do it early just to be safe. Watch the waterworks. If your water heater has a vacation mode, use that—especially for a longer trip.

Arlene Powers and Patricia Jasper Clark of the library art committee

‘Three Pandas’ by Joseph Chen (at right)

ome think of watercolor painting as being “watered down”— a soft, bland, pale, childlike, minor art form, lacking the drama, intensity, detail, boldness and challenge of oils or acrylics. This notion is proven quite wrong at the new show at the La Jolla Library Art Gallery, which has the long title: “Past and Prologue: A Retrospective of the Works of Suzanne Geller and Georgeanna Lipe with Current Works by the San Diego Watercolor Society.” In this show, we see clearly that watercolor can be a richly colorful and detailed visual surprise with an emotional depth alluring you into the complexity of the painting and the life it portrays. The exhibit began when La Jolla resident Jackie Newman approached library art committee chief Patricia Jasper Clark with the idea of honoring her late mother, Susan Geller, a longtime community leader and artist, and her mother’s colleague, Georgeanna Lipe, who for many years had a gallery on Girard Avenue. The art committee liked the idea and embellished it by bringing in some contemporary artists from The San Diego Watercolor Society, which Geller and Lipe had been members of. The show ended up consisting of a number of historical paintings by Geller and Lipe, plus

contemporary works by society members Ralph Kingery, Beverly Tuzin, J.W. Buscher, Joseph (Keming) Chen and Cherry Roper. Here’s some background: Kingery joined the Peace Corps when he was a young man and went to Somalia as a teacher. In Somalia, he said he felt safe because of the U.S. military presence and happy in his work because his students were so motivated. However, when he returned to the California to continue his teaching career, he experienced disappointment in the educational system and switched careers to environmental planning. After many years of working in Arizona, his job brought him to San Diego, where, after retirement, he took up painting. “I like to paint nature and urban areas, focusing on shapes and colors,” Kingery said. “I am also trying to open up my appreciation for abstract art. Art is fun for me and I like to sell my work. But what I really hope to do is to teach people to look at and appreciate the world around them. I’ve observed that many people have let their minds go dead and they have no interest in the wonders and mystery of the world. I hope to wake their interest through my artwork.” Tuzin, who has been a member of the

watercolor society for two-and-a-half years, likes to paint portraits. She has two in the show that are quite striking. One is of an African-American woman who has something to say, another is of an older man with a beard and a hat (who may be a fisherman) looking down at an object of interest, “I like to do portraits,” Turzin said. “For me, it is a challenge to try and capture the personality or the character of the person I am painting. I don’t want my paintings to be just like a photograph. I want to convey something of the essence of the person.” Buscher considers himself to be more of a graphic artist or illustrator than a painter. He started in art by winning a T-shirt logo contest for the Ocean Beach Chili Cook Off. “I didn’t really know what I was doing. But somehow I won, and the prize money was $300, which was a lot of money in those days,” Buscher said. The Ocean Beach resident likes to paint landmarks, including the OB Pier, The Black (a head shop), and Ortega’s Restaurant. “I try to paint things that people want to buy — like keepsakes or memories of their neighborhood. My long-term goal is to enter more contests, gain recognition, and evolve as an artist.” Chen was born on the southeast China coast. When he was a boy his family fled to Taiwan to avoid the communist takeover. He came to the states in the 1970s to pursue a master’s degree at State University of New York, where he studied electrical engineering. For many years he worked at a cable television company. Two years ago, he retired and began to paint 10 hours a day. “Painting is my hobby,” said Chen. “It is for fun. I do watercolors because I don’t like the smell of oil paints.”

Watercolors shine at new library exhibit

Chen is not sure how good an artist he is, but for the last two years he won first place in watercolors at the Del Mar Fair. In many of his highly detailed colorful paintings you can see sparks of greatness. It’s as if he has transcended the limitations of his medium. His animals, such as pandas and dogs, and his portraits of people are simply astonishing. It’s hard to believe they are watercolors. He has two paintings in the show, a landscape from Balboa Park and one of La Jolla Cove. Roper likes to paint flowers. She has two paintings of roses in the show that warrant close inspection. Although she worked as an accountant, she found her passion in painting. “I like to paint what I think is beautiful, and I strive to capture the light and color differentiation,” Roper said. “Painting was first a hobby and then it became an obsession! Painting makes me feel so much more alive, creative and expressive.” Adam Hostomsky, who teaches piano at La Jolla Music, provided the entertainment at the opening reception on Jan. 16. Hostomsky said he was born in Prague, escaped the Iron Curtain with his mother and sister through Yugoslavia in 1987, and the family was later joined by his father, an exchange student at Cal Tech. Hostomsky attended Torrey Pines Elementary and La Jolla High Schools before earning a B.A. in chemistry from UC Santa Barbara. He then went on to Cal Arts here he earned an MFA in piano performance. During the reception, Hostomsky improvised and played everything from Joplin to Chopin, much to everyone’s delight. The watercolor show is on view during library hours until Feb. 7.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

A slide from Sandie Linn’s 2015 photo project on bicycling, captures people walking their bikes FROM PHOTO-A-DAY, B8 But the theme of bicycling ended up meaning more to her than she predicted. “My husband, who was an avid runner and ran nine marathons, had to have hip surgery. His doctors said after the surgery, the only running he would be doing is for his life. I didn’t know how he would adjust,” she said. “But he said he still had a body and legs that work, so he tried bicycling. He inspired me.” Further, as her husband got stronger, the pair decided to take a trip to France and Italy in September. “I didn’t know how he would do, given that everyone walks everywhere in Europe. We ‘trained’ by doing weekly walks around San Diego, and I got to take some photos on our walks,” she said. When they arrived in Provence, Linn was able to continue her project and take photos of the scores of Parisians on two wheels. “It was so fun and I was so glad I picked a theme I could continue overseas,” she said.

All told, she took more than 1,700 pictures, but had to narrow the selection for her video collage. Each slide of the four-minute video has a theme of its own, such as people waving, groups, riders in racing wear, children and backpacks. “One of my favorites is of a man riding with a Chihuahua in his backpack, and they both have sunglasses on!” she said. Each slide also contains at least one picture from Europe. Looking ahead to this year, Linn said she will repeat the project, but was coy about the 2016 theme. “I have a few ideas and am waiting to see which one pans out,” she said. “I see a picture everywhere I go. That’s why photography interests me. Having these projects and discovering the themes has been a lot of fun. I get so much out of it because it opens up a world for me that I’m not a part of.” ■ ON THE WEB: Watch Sandie Linn’s video at youtube.com and search for “Bicycles and Bicyclists in San Diego, France and Italy.”

condos/townhome sales were almost 10 percent higher than in 2014. The supply of resale homes on the market in San Diego fell below two months (five to six months is considered a healthy level). Homes that sold in the county were on the market for an average of 40 days. “I think 2015 overall was a strong year for local real estate,” said SDAR’s 2016 president Cory Shepard. “Mortgage interest rates will probably rise slightly this year, but should stay near their historically low rates. I’m hopeful that growth in all areas of the economy, combined with moderate price increases in 2015 and 2016, will sustain affordability and encourage more sellers and buyers to consider their prospects for the move-up market in San Diego.” The most expensive listing sold in the county in December was a 11-bedroom, 12-bath, 16.700-square-foot home in the Village of La Jolla, built in 1985, with a sale price of $9 million.

FROM SDAR REPORTS Prices of previously owned homes sold in San Diego County rose by 6 percent during 2015, according to new housing statistics from the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS (SDAR). That increase is a strong indicator of a healthy San Diego housing market, although the low inventory of homes for sale is tempering the outlook for buyers in the coming year. The median price increase for the year 2014 was 9 percent, and for 2013 it was 20 percent. At year-end 2015, the median price of single-family homes was $539,000, and the price for condominiums and townhomes was nearly $360,000. Closings on properties increased by about 16 percent in December compared to November, as more transactions came in under the wire. For the year, sales of single-family homes are were up nearly 7 percent compared to 2014, and
