LA JOLLA

BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla residents concerned about thefts from cars and burglaries in their neighborhoods continue to band together to get to know one another, share information, and learn crime-prevention tips. In the days following a Neighborhood Watch-style meeting in the WindanSea area, residents of the Country Club community held a similar meeting. “When anything upsetting like a break-in occurs in a neighborhood, people get really nervous,” said Neighborhood Watch captain Bradford Noble. “So one of the first things I wanted to accomplish in refreshing Most of this has been our Neighborhood Watch reported as ‘petty theft’ is to have people get to because the items know each other to make themselves are not that each other feel safer.” valuable (cash-wise). But Residents met in late when the thefts of these January to exchange documents lead to a stolen stories of what happened identity, it’s a big deal. to them and their response from police. — Bradford Noble “There were a lot of Neighborhhod Watch Captain people who didn’t know what was going on … and people weren’t feeling safe ... reviving our Neighborhood Watch has been very comforting and informative,” Noble said. The predominance of theft in the Country Club area has been items from vehicles that could assist with identity theft, such as driver’s licenses, credit cards, mail and even a passport. “Most of this has been reported as ‘petty theft’ because the items themselves are not that valuable (cash-wise),” Noble said. “But when the thefts of these documents lead to a stolen identity, it’s a big deal.” Because such theft is considered minor, he opined the report is low on the police priorities list and does not always get investigated.

Facelift for some Village restaurants BUSINESS ROUNDUP BY ASHLEY MACKIN To bring the some of the seaside eateries on Prospect Street up-to-code and up-to-date, the property at 1250 Prospect St. is undergoing some major plumbing, electrical and aesthetic work.

summer and the white tenting should be scaled back, if not completely removed. Two of the restaurants, George’s at the Cove and Donovan’s Steakhouse, will stay open during the project, but The Hake Kitchen and Bar will temporarily close for an extensive remodel.

Sharon Wampler (right) tells the City Planning Commissioners about the committee’s findings.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Much to the relief of the La Jolla ad hoc committee on residential single-family zoning (aka mansionization), the San Diego Planning Commission voted Jan. 28 to postpone adoption of city language on development in coastal communities, pending further review. On the table for Commissioners’ consideration were items City of San Diego Planners recommended be included in the next land development code update, which occurs every year or two to clean up typos and/or address conflicting language. Of the more than 30 items,

few merited discussion. One proposal that did was Item No. 9, which offers another way for developers to avoid a costly and time-consuming Coastal Development Permit (CDP). It reads: “Create a new exemption from the requirement to obtain a Coastal Development Permit for certain single dwelling unit development and demolition of existing structures if the development … (is) located on a single lot zoned for single dwelling unit residential and must comply with 90 percent of the applicable height and 80 percent of the SEE MANSIONIZATION, A12

Airport re-named to honor Bill Gibbs BY ASHLEY MACKIN Starting in April, Montgomery Field in Kearny Mesa will be renamed the Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, to honor La Jolla resident Bill Gibbs. Featured in La Jolla Light’s centenarian series, Gibbs lives in the Muirlands area and recently turned 105. Montgomery Field airport program manager Wayne Rieter said the time had come to credit Gibbs for his efforts to establish the airport back in 1950. “We felt it was appropriate to honor Bill Gibbs because he didn’t just contribute to the airport, he founded the airport,” he said, noting the field was originally named Gibbs Field. “We also felt it was important to keep Montgomery in the name to avoid confusion.” The airport staff circulated a survey among those who use the airport to decide the new name. The change was approved by the San Diego City Council on Jan. 12 and now proceeds to the Federal Aviation Administration for ratification, so the name can be changed on airport charts. City Councilmember Chris Cate drove the effort. “As the councilmember fortunate enough to represent Montgomery Field, soon to be Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport, it is an honor to recognize Bill Gibbs. Bill’s legacy in San Diego is one of an accomplished businessman and

selfless philanthropist whose contributions have helped students pursue careers in aviation and science,” he said in a statement. At age 20, Gibbs began flying lessons, handing over every penny of his 25-cents-an-hour-job at a junkyard. Eight years later, having mastered flying, he committed his savings to paying off 25 acres of land in Kearny Mesa. Once the land was his, he developed a single-runway airport and in 1940, leased it to the Ryan School of Aeronautics to teach cadets how to fly. Throughout that decade, Gibbs also offered to teach cadets how to fly, which in draft-driven World War II, was a great military service. The City of San Diego purchased the field from Gibbs in 1947. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, Gibbs was inducted into the Air Corps and continued to teach as military service. He taught, and thereby served, for four-and-a-half years during the war. During that time, he worked out of a building constructed for the Ryan School. Half a century later, in 2011, he was inducted into the San Diego Air and Space Museum Hall of Fame. The Montgomery namesake will remain to honor John J. Montgomery, who is credited with making the first controlled flight in a fixed wing aircraft.

FROM CRIME PREVENTION, A1

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS PTSD explored in La Jolla robbery-kidnapping Sentencing has been delayed in the case of Keith Russell Luckett — who was found guilty of kidnapping and robbery of two women in La Jolla — so his attorney can look into his military records and determine whether Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was a factor in his May 2014 actions. Luckett faces two life sentences in prison, plus six years for robbery and kidnapping with the intent of robbery, of two women he abducted and forced drive to La Jolla banks so they could withdraw money. Luckett served in combat in Afghanistan, and his sentencing attorney, Ivan Schwartz, said he needed time for a more thorough exploration of Luckett’s personnel records to determine whether PTSD contributed to his actions. Schwartz was not Luckett’s attorney during the trial. “I have requested additional time to look into his military deployment records, identify and communicate with his military physician, identify and communicate with other marines that served with (Luckett) and the possibility of petitioning for a revision of his discharge classification in light of undiagnosed PTSD to allow him to receive access to VA benefits and programs,” Schwartz said. “It’s important in a case where the defendant is facing multiple life sentences that the court have specific detailed information in evaluating Mr. Luckett’s case … He came from a good, supportive military family and to see him devolve from what appears to have been a fine young man that went into military to the situation he has found himself in, there’s something more that may have happened and I’ve reviewed the medical records and have

found incidences of that should have drawn the attention of his command.” Sentencing has been continued until March 14.

night and all that was taken was her parking pass for the building where she works. “It looks like a credit card, so maybe that’s what the thieves thought it was, but everything else was left out,” she said. “The thieves were very sophisticated. We are below street level and the car was parked in our driveway. We didn’t hear anything and they used a Slim Jim, so they didn’t have to break the windows. They knew what they were looking for.” Resident Nick Mariuz said he had a similar experience last year and told La Jolla Light, “My vehicle was broken into and they found my credit card number on a receipt on the floor in the backseat. Rather than take it, they moved it and left it in plain sight, but took a picture. They assumed I would cancel my card and order a new one, which I did, and they cased the house. My new card came in the mail while I was at work. They stole the mail, activated the card, made a fake ID with my information found on my mail and used the credit card to withdraw cash.” Proactively, the neighbors are now shredding anything that formerly was thrown away — mail that has the resident’s name, address or other identifying information on it. Residents are also pooling funds to pay for monitoring equipment, and will petition the city for better lighting on their street.

La Jolla resident scares off intruder

A resident of Via Viesta, off Hidden Valley Road, came home Jan. 28 and scared off an intruder, who then led police on a pursuit until he and an accomplice were arrested. Police recovered multiple stolen items from several victims. The resident told police he got home about 10 a.m. and heard breaking glass and someone upstairs. He yelled, scaring off the intruder, who got into a white van parked outside. The intruder then drove off with a passenger in the van. Some minutes later, an officer spotted what appeared to be the prowlers’ van and tried to pull it over. At some point the passenger jumped out and was taken into custody, while the van driver led officers on a pursuit south on Morena Boulevard. The driver was later pulled over near Clairemont Drive and taken into custody. Police impounded the van, and retrieved the stolen items, some of which were returned to the owners.

Home Design Trends that may hinder a sale of your home! 1) Boldly painted walls: Neutral colors still sell best. 2) Wallpaper: Although coming back with designers, it is usually too personal of a choice. 3) Lavish light fixtures: Too modern or too ornate could turn a buyer off your home. 4) Converted bedrooms: Best to show bedrooms as bedrooms. People sometimes judge the size of a house in their mind by how many bedrooms exist. 5) Carpets: When you have a choice, most buyers prefer hardwood floors. 6) Landscaping: High maintenance yards scare many buyers. They worry about water and upkeep expenses.

Parks & Beaches OKs sea lion barrier plan BY ASHLEY MACKIN The sea lion barrier proposed by La Jolla Town Council’s Coastal Committee got another nod of approval Jan. 25 when La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) group voted to support the plan during its monthly meeting. LJB&B joins the La Jolla Town Council, which at its Jan. 14 meeting, also voted to support the idea. Fed up with the ongoing stench at La Jolla Cove and other issues related to the burgeoning sea lion population, committee member Joe Pitrofsky told LJP&B, “Many cities have problems with sea lions … but every community’s problems are different. In some places, the sea lions are taking over boat docks and boats, or offshore oilrigs and oceanographic equipment. For us, it’s the smell and the animals gathering on the rocks.” As previously reported in La Jolla Light, the Coastal Committee’s solution is to install stainless steel cables

Joe Pitrofsky shows a mock-up of the sea lion barrier proposed for La Jolla Cove to deter sea lion presence. across key access points on the lower portion of the bluffs next to La Jolla Cove – that sea lions use to climb to upper level – and string rotating, plastic cylinders across them so the sea lions cannot climb to the larger, flatter area and congregate. The Coastal Committee – comprised of Steve Haskins, Pitrofsky, Yolanda de Riquer, Taylor Bloom and Lawrence Zynda – came to its conclusion on the barrier solution based on research with agencies such as

There is nothing permanent about it,” he said. To install the barriers, small holes would be drilled into the bluffs so posts can be placed to string the necessary cables – a point of contention for LJP&B member Patrick Ahern. “One of my big concerns is drilling holes in natural bluffs,” he said. “I’d rather see them drilled in a man-made structure.” Joining several voicing the same concern, Ahern added that the sea lions might migrate somewhere else if they lose the bluffs resting area. (It is not known nor theorized where the sea lions might go as an alternative to the bluffs.) “There will be unintended consequences,” Ahern said, but he generally supported the idea. Also in support, LJP&B member Melinda Merryweather noted, “I’d like to see somebody try something, the smell has gotten out of hand.” Ultimately, the board voted 11-1-3 in favor of the proposal, with LJP&B member and president of Friends of La Jolla Seals group Jane Reldan in opposition. After presenting its proposal to other community advisory groups, the committee will meet with San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer for implementation of the barriers.

be comprised of property owners and other key stakeholders in the community, said Bronstein. Although the item was listed as an action item, the board declined to vote on the proposal. More MAD information may be found at enhancelajolla.org ■ Term limits approved: As LJP&B prepares to vote on an update to its bylaws at the next meeting, one item came up for further discussion. “The subcommittee has reached a consensus on most things, except one,” said LJP&B chair Dan Allen, “whether to have term limits.” This prompted discussion pro and con, with Ahern arguing that term limits encourages democracy, brings in new energy with new people, and deters special interest groups or “takeovers.” However, those in opposition said few other community groups are tasked with as many long-term projects as LJP&B, meriting longer board terms. Member Phyllis Minick, who spearheads the Children’s Pool Walk Beautification Project, said “When there is a project like mine where money has been raised, the person who conducts that project over time is responsible for taking care of overseeing its dispersal. I would not like to be asked to leave, nor would I volunteer, until this is consummated.” As a compromise, Ann Dynes, who is overseeing the long-term Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project, suggested a model similar to that used on La Jolla’s Town Council — two consecutive terms with a one-year sabbatical before candidates are eligible to run for a board seat again. A motion to support term-limits, with a tentative duration of two, four-year terms, passed. A final report will come before LJP&B

for ratification at the next meeting. Until the bylaws are revised, LJP&B will operate under the old bylaws. ■ Realtor joins board: With the departure of longtime member Mary Coakley-Munk, La Jolla realtor John Shannon joined the board. “My family and I spend a lot of time at The Cove and at The Shores and I realize being part of the community is only part of our responsibility, the other part is being participants in making a positive difference,” he said. ■ Sidewalk plans coming: As part of the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project, Dynes announced plans were in motion to get a sidewalk on the park side of Coast Boulevard where there is currently only a dirt path. Specifics on the sidewalk will be presented by city engineers at the next meeting. “My understanding is they have identified funding for the design phase and the construction phase,” Dynes said. There are also plans for an illustration of a whale somewhere along the third-mile stretch of Coast Boulevard that makes up Whale View Point. “If you had some artistic display of a mother and calf going northbound with a small sign that reads ‘Migrating Gray Whales,’ it would have an educational component,” Dynes said. LJP&B member Sally Miller recommended a sidewalk etching similar to those found at the San Diego Zoo. “It looks really nice and they have millions of people walking on that each year, so maybe you could ask the Zoo how they did that,” she advised. Those who wish to provide feedback on the plans, should attend a future LJP&B meeting. —La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meets 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 22 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Bird Rock Elementary will host open house

County: No ‘Zika’ mosquitos in San Diego County

Bird Rock Elementary School will have an informational meeting and school tour for interested parents, 9:15 a.m. Monday, Feb. 22 in the school auditorium, 5371 La Jolla Hermosa Ave. Meet school staff, and Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten (students who turn five years old between Sept. 2 and March 2) teachers.

With the mosquito-driven Zika virus linked to a serious birth defect that has prompted the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to issue traveler’s warnings to pregnant women not to go to countries where Zika is present (Mexico and several South and Central American countries) San Diego County has released this information to calm residents’ fears: There are currently no detections of the Zika virus in San Diego County. There were two cases reported here in recent years: one in 2014 and one in 2015. In both cases, the people contracted the virus when they visited tropical islands in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. San Diego County public health officials said neither person needed to be hospitalized. The mosquitoes known to transmit the Zika virus, primarily the Aedes aeqypti (yellow-fever mosquito), but also the Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito), are not native to San Diego. But they have been discovered here — the yellow-fever mosquito in 2014 and the Asian tiger mosquito in 2015. These Aedes mosquitoes are different than the mosquitoes native to San Diego County. They’re smaller in size and have distinctive black and white markings, and they like to feed during daylight hours. They are known to be aggressive biters. County officials said the public should continue to remember the “Prevent, Protect, Report” slogan that guides its fight against West Nile virus: Every week, dump out and clean containers that hold water inside and outside homes. Fill plant saucers with sand or fine gravel so water won’t form pools where mosquitoes can breed. Wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors. Use insect repellent containing DEET. To keep insects out, make sure the screens on windows and doors don’t have holes or tears. Report if you’ve been bitten by mosquitoes during daylight hours, or if you find mosquitoes that match the description of the yellow-fever mosquito or Asian tiger mosquito, by contacting the Vector Control Program at (858) 694-2888 or vector@sdcounty.ca.gov

SDG&E to install more electric charging stations The California Public Utilities Commission approved San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) Electric Vehicle Grid-Integration pilot project for the company to own and install thousands of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. SDG&E will install the stations at up to 350 businesses and multi-family communities throughout the region, with 10 chargers at each location for a total of 3,500 separate chargers. In 2012, Gov. Jerry Brown set a vision of having 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road in California by 2025. For the San Diego region to meet a mere 10 percent of that target (150,000 electric vehicles) EV growth and supporting infrastructure must increase at a much quicker pace, SDG&E reports. The pilot program also features special rates to encourage EV drivers to charge their cars when electricity supply, including renewable energy, is plentiful and energy prices are low — off-peak charging.

County Water Authority offers WaterSmart landscaping classes The San Diego County Water Authority will hold a series of free classes to teach homeowners steps to designing and implementing successful WaterSmart landscape makeovers.

Doctors endorse HPV vaccination for prevention In response to low national vaccination rates for the human papillomavirus (HPV), Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health has joined 68 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers in issuing a statement urging for increased HPV vaccination. With approximately 40 percent of girls and 21 percent of boys receiving the recommended three doses, these institutions recognize insufficient vaccination as a public health threat and call upon the nations’ physicians, parents and young adults to take advantage of this rare opportunity to prevent many types of cancer. “HPV is the cause of a major global cancer burden. The vaccine could save thousands of lives in the United States alone and reduce needless suffering that could easily be prevented by taking action today,” said Scott Lippman, M.D., director of Moores Cancer Center and member of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Cancer Prevention Committee. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HPV infections are responsible for approximately 27,000 new cancer diagnoses each year in the United States. Several vaccines are available that can prevent the majority of cervical, anal, and other genital cancers as well as oropharyngeal (middle throat) cancer.

Mom’s microbes can be restored to C-Section babies In a small pilot study, published Feb. 1 by Nature Medicine researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai determined that a simple swab to transfer vaginal microbes from a mother to her C-section-delivered newborn can alter the baby's microbial makeup (microbiome) in a way that more closely resembles the microbiome of a vaginally delivered baby. Babies delivered by C-section differ from babies delivered vaginally in the makeup of the microbes that live in and on their bodies. These early microbiomes help educate the baby’s developing immune system. Previous research suggests a link between C-section delivery and increased subsequent risk of obesity, asthma, allergies, atopic disease and other immune deficiencies. Many of these diseases have also been linked to the microbiome, though the role a newborn’s microbiome plays in current or long-term health is not yet well-understood. In follow-up research, the scientists want to determine if it matters how and when vaginal fluids are transferred to a newborn, how long the microbial differences last and how microbial exposure at birth affects a person’s long-term health or susceptibility to disease. The research was funded, in part, by the National Institutes of Health, C&D Research Fund, Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, Sinai Ulcerative Colitis: Clinical, Experimental & Systems Studies Philanthropic Grant and Department of Scientific Computing at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. ■ Have a La Jolla news tip?

SAN DIEGO’S KR HESS LAW OFFERS ASSET PROTECTION PLANNING

P.C.

FIRST-RATE

Do you ever find yourself asking, “Is it really necessary to protect my money?” or “What would happen to my financial assets if I was sued?” If so, you’re not alone. Professionals ranging from the physician to the business owner have likely lost sleep worrying about their financial future. What about if your elderly mother was in a car accident and hit bystander pedestrians?

One of the most common questions surrounding asset protection is how it differs from traditional insurance. Hess says that asset protection focuses on providing time, flexibility and options aimed at protecting one’s assets. “Both are important and work together by insuring what is insurable and by providing options for protecting assets in the event that insurance is not available or simply fails,” she said.

KR Hess Law, PC has entered into a strategic partnership with attorney Douglass Lodmell of the Asset Protection Council that will benefit the people of San Diego county and beyond with elegantly simple yet powerfully protective Asset Protection Plans.

Call KR Hess Law at 858-461-6844 to schedule your complimentary analysis today.

With the help of Doug and his staff, we are able to make clear and detailed recommendations on what you can do to implement a strong asset protection plan.” Hess says that asset protection planning is for anyone who wants to avoid losing their hard-earned wealth in claims or litigation. “America has become a very litigious society and insurance coverage is often not enough,” she said. So how does the asset protection process work? Hess and Lodmell walk you through a detailed analysis of your estate and financial needs, as well as your risk profile. They then educate you on which of your assets are already protected and to what extent, and which are not. “It is a straightforward process that will result in a new confidence in how people can implement rock-solid asset protection for hard-earned wealth,” Hess said.

“Wealth and Legacy Building Summit”

Lodmell will be a featured Master Teacher at a two-day virtual event called the “Wealth and Legacy Building Summit.” Hess – who is orchestrating the event – says the summit will “transform your life as you apply our powerful lessons aimed at enabling the growth and protection of your assets.

FROM MANSIONIZATION, A1 applicable floor area permitted by the underlying base zone.” Posed as a benefit to development, project manager Amanda Lee of the City Development Service Department said the exemption would “facilitate house building in the coastal zone” by offering a bypass to a coastal development permit and there was “great support for the new permitting system.” However, La Jolla’s ad hoc committee on mansionization has criticized this language. Rather than producing houses in line with the character, bulk and scale of the surrounding area, committee members argue, it would actually yield “small, bad architecture.” During public comment, ad hoc committee chair Sharon Wampler asked the Commissioners not to adopt the new system. “Our committee formed in response to concern by community members about bulk and scale and development that was out of alignment with the current, existing La Jolla Community Plan,” she said. “I understand efficiency and cost effectiveness are very important, but there is also the quality aspect. You want to maintain the best balance between them without sacrificing any of the others. We had concern with Item No. 9 going forward as is. In light of development patterns, it was deemed prudent to adjust the proposed language.” Wampler instead urged the Commissioners adopt a motion made by her committee (and approved by its parent group La Jolla Community Planning Association), which recommends the city suspend action on the item for one year. The motion reads: “A one-year suspension will allow La Jolla and other coastal communities to craft tailored criteria for coastal residential development overlay zone, with ministerial processing (bypassing a CDP) for single-family residents. The adoption of this overlay zone could replace the CDP process for those projects that comply with the criteria of the zone, enabling regulatory relief from the existing costly and time consuming discretionary process while more effectively implementing the La Jolla

Amanda Lee argues for the city’s proposed changes to its Land Development Code. Community and Coastal Development Plan.” Opposed to the one-year continuation, Commissioner Stephen Haase said, “The exemption as it was originally conceived was to provide an incentive to property owners that built smaller, who didn’t try to squeeze every inch out of the height, every hundredth of a percent out of the FAR. There was a lot of merit to that. This would provide an incentive for people to not have to go through a discretionary permit and appeals in the time … by doing nothing, we are back to where we started. The exemption is long overdue.” Commissioner Susan Peerson said, “I’m in favor of an exemption process and I don’t want to see extensive or excessive changes to respond to bad actors. I’m not in favor of excess overlay zones and special permits.” In favor of the ad hoc committee’s recommendation, Commissioner Theresa Quiroz said, “We have seen so many projects come from La Jolla where we would have loved to been able to help out, but couldn’t because the rules didn’t

allow us to. So I don’t think a request for one year is too much to ask, they deserve that much.” From a logistical standpoint, architect and Planning Commission Chair Tim Golba posed questions with several scenarios that illustrated how complicated and “unimaginable” the new language would be for developers. Arguing the “baby is being thrown out with the bathwater with this language,” Golba added, “I don’t see any regulatory relief to it. I would prefer we pull the item, further analyze it and come back after the planning groups have had a chance to vet it. It’s premature to send that forward at this point.” Agreeing, Quiroz moved the Planning Commission approve staff recommendations on the land development update with the amendment that Item No. 9 be removed and put forward as a separate item after further evaluation. Other items up for review pertaining to other neighborhoods were also amended. Wampler said she was pleased with the Planning Commissions decision. “Our ad hoc committee has been working with the community to develop a proposal that would be simple for city staff to implement, would save time and money for homeowners and builders, and would preserve the quality of life and unique character in coastal neighborhoods, which is valued by both residents and visitors to our fine city. “It is important that communities have the time to review and provide input. The quality of life and unique character of our coastal communities lies in the balance. ... We are grateful the commissioners are putting their confidence in the La Jolla community to work collaboratively. While there is a sense of urgency, it is important to implement a process that will work for both the short-term and the long-term.” On Feb. 10, the Planning Commission’s recommendation will be presented to the Smart Growth & Land Use sub-committee of the San Diego City Council, and then in March to the full City Council. Discussion of the recommendation was also on the docket of the Feb. 4 La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting. Read about the action in next week’s La Jolla Light. lajollacpa.org

IN OUR OPINION

DREW NELSON BRE #01376023

TIM NELSON

Overall 2015 was a good year, but it was a bumpy road! The 1st & 2nd quarters were positive with strong activity that slowed during summer and the first part of the 4th quarter. Fortunately, the last few weeks of the year were incredibly busy and things picked up markedly. Inventory remained low, which had a self perpetuating effect on sales as would be sellers had trouble finding replacement property. Interest rates stayed historically low and were a driving force behind buyer demand in certain price points, although almost 40% of the transactions in La Jolla were all-cash. Interestingly, 2014 was quite similar and the strong close to the year had a positive effect on the beginning of the following year, so there is every reason to believe 2016 will get off to a good start (in fact it already has) and the fundamentals are in place for it to be an even better year than the last!

later this year, but her 100th year in 2036. Ultimately, we want to make Adelaide and the communities of La Jolla and San Diego proud that her vision, and their support, were the true success story,” Parent said in a statement. “We are simply the ones privileged to keep the creative engine running.”

Johnson from ‘Miami Vice’ could have walked in any minute,” he said. “It was just time to update the property.” The Hake makeover will add 2,000 square feet and 60 seats to the existing restaurant, along with sweeping ocean views and a casual lounge boasting a classic, yet modern bar. There will be a separate area for a relaxed take on fine dining overlooking the Pacific Ocean and increased outdoor seating. The kitchen will also undergo several changes including the implementation of an oyster/raw bar. Valerino said he has a May target as the grand re-opening date. ■ Bird Rock welcomes Koi Wellness: Bird Rock Sushi and Oyster at 5752 La Jolla Blvd. closed in January. But one block away, at 5632 La Jolla Blvd., Koi Wellness Center held a grand opening Jan. 28. The integrative health clinic has been seeing patients for the last few months, said dietician Cori Cohen, but was remodeling the facility leading up to the opening. Specializing in naturopathic medicine, the facility offers nutrition injections, IV therapy, nutrition coaching, specialty lab testing and more. “A lot of times, people are fed up with feeling sick or tired and they haven’t gotten the help they needed from traditional medicine or the results they’ve hoped for from their doctors,” Cohen said. “Our naturopathic doctor will consult with you and conduct specialty lab testing, including looking at neurotransmitters, hormones, and macro-nutrient testing to see if you are

■ Liquor store makeover: After a quiet closing last year, plans for a new Marine Street Market were posted to replace La Jolla Liquor store at 7402 La Jolla Blvd. Slated to open this year, the new market will have a coffee counter, outdoor seating, liquor and wine cellar and children’s play area.

With a $6 investment, Adelaide’s was founded in 1936 as a roadside stand in Encinitas, California by Adelaide Phillips. It

quickly grew and in 1945, moved to its current retail location at 7766 Girard Ave. in La Jolla. While the Phillips family sold the company in 2010, the new owners remained behind the scenes and allowed Anhorn and Parent to put their creative vision to work. The duo acquired partial ownership in 2015 and completed the sale on Jan. 31. Anhorn and Parent entered the floral scene in San Diego in 1995 with the creation of their Banker’s Hill and ultimately Hillcrest — European-styled floral and event company, FloraStyle. “We are proud and humbled to be the ones to carry on Adelaide’s great name and reputation. Our goal is to not only celebrate with the community her 80th year in business

■ Be Fresh replaces Mango: In mid-January, Be Fresh opened at 627 Pearl St., the former home of Mango Mango, to offer fruit salads, green salads, sandwiches, tortas and fresh juices. ■ Café Solange closed: Café Solange on Avenida de la Playa has closed. Owner Christian Malecot posted on the business’s Facebook page: “Dear La Jolla Shores Community, Café Solange’s last day of operation was Monday, Oct. 27. (We) are very grateful to have had the opportunity to serve the community over the past three years. It has been a real pleasure to have had developed relationships with so many people in this area. “La Jolla Shores truly defines what it means to be a community. I look forward to continuing to cultivate those relationships, and new ones, at the Common Grounds coffee cart in front of the Neighbor Saver Market. You can find our baguettes, pastries, and delicious coffee just down the way.”

Heart of San Diego Gala will benefit cardiovascular center

Association reminds women to keep their hearts healthy

The 19th annual Heart of San Diego Gala, to benefit Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center at UC San Diego Health, is slated for Saturday, Feb. 20 at Park Hyatt Aviara. Cocktails will be served at 6 p.m. with dinner and dancing at 7:30 p.m., featuring entertainment by the Wayne Foster group.

Friday, Feb. 5 is National Wear Red Day when the American Heart Association (AHA) encourages everyone to wear red to help raise awareness about women’s risk for cardiovascular disease. “This simple act will reiterate how important it is for women, and the public in general, to prioritize heart health,” proclaims the AHA website at goredforwomen.org “Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women. Mothers, sisters and friends are dying at the rate of one every 80 seconds because they don’t know that heart disease kills. That’s why Go Red For Women is calling on women to make it their mission to fight heart disease.” GO RED is an acronym for: G: Get your numbers: Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol. O: Own your lifestyle: Stop smoking, lose weight, exercise and eat heart-healthy foods. R: Realize your risk: We think it won’t happen to us, but heart disease kills 1 in 3 women. E: Educate your family: Make healthful food choices for you and your family. Teach your kids the importance of staying active. D: Don’t be silent: Tell every woman you know that heart disease is our No. 1 killer. Raise your voice at goredforwomen.org

The Artist’s Touch moves to La Jolla Wellness Studio BY MARTI GACIOCH After working in La Jolla for 30 years as a painter and sculptor, Jenifer Broomberg drew upon her artistic skills to successfully develop a permanent makeup business that she named The Artist's Touch. Jenifer recently moved The Artist’s Touch to a new location in the Village at the La Jolla Wellness Studio, 7580 Fay Ave., Suite 103. “My inspiration to become a permanent makeup artist was my fascination with the human face and how defects could be improved or eliminated by creating classical beauty with the knowledge of art and anatomy,” she said. Jenifer trained as a fine artist in Houston and San Diego, and over the years has exhibited and sold her work in several La Jolla, San Diego and other galleries. She said she loves working with people, and finds it easy to shift from painting and sculpture to the human canvas. Jenifer’s knowledge of and experience in art makes her a standout from other permanent makeup artists. She’s been trained in all permanent makeup procedures and is a qualified and licensed PMU technician. One of her specialties (along with lip pigmentation and eyeliner) is creating permanent eyebrows using the 3D hair-stroke method. This creates the most natural looking, realistic hair strokes in eyebrow permanent makeup with the use of Manual Microstroking, also known as Eyebrow Embroidery. This technique allows Jenifer to create crisp, fine hairstrokes that fill in thin brows, brows with bald spots, total brow reconstruction and even create brows from scratch with

clients who have alopecia. Microblading is done by hand with the use of a tiny blade made up of needles. The results are natural looking, crisp, fine hair-like strokes that mimic one's own eyebrow hairs exactly. This method is ideal for those who want to enhance the look of their eyebrows — regardless of the amount of hair present. People with alopecia, trichotillomania — or any other condition that causes hair loss — benefit greatly from Microblading. The pigments used in this method have been formulated to match one's original eyebrow color, and blend perfectly into one's own eyebrow hairs to create a natural, flawless,

fuller-looking brow. Initially, the brows appear darker, but fade significantly over a two-week period. Experts recommend a touch up, as it’s very difficult to predict how well the skin will retain the pigment (one touch-up appointment is included at no extra cost at The Artist's Touch). The results can last anywhere from one to five years, depending on factors affecting the procedure. Another of Jenifer’s specialties is medical micro-pigmentation, which includes areola and nipple reconstruction after mastectomy, producing three-dimensional realistic results. She can also camouflage scars and vitiligo (a disease that causes the loss of skin color in blotches) by matching pigments to her client's natural skin tone. She also offers collagen induction therapy, using the Rejuvapen to improve or eliminate wrinkles, dark spots, acne and other scars. Finally, Jenifer has mastered cleft lip "reconstruction" using pigments to normalize and improve the shape of the lips. For those sensitive about hair-loss, Jenifer uses scalp micro-pigmentation and is one of the only technicians offering this service in La Jolla and San Diego. ■ The Artist's Touch is at La Jolla Wellness Studio, 7580 Fay Ave., Suite 103. Consultations are free. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. by appointment only. (858) 945-7297. theartiststouchlajolla.com Note: If three procedures are booked at the same time, the cost is discounted by $100. — The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

OPINION

OUR READERS WRITE Shores street collapse should irk taxpayers Regarding the Avenida de la Playa street collapse in La Jolla Shores: Since San Diego city engineers accepted the design — and city inspectors accepted the work — I guess this means the taxpayers will again be stuck with the repair bill. What action does the city take when the employees do a poor job? — William Dunn

Residents are going to miss Su Casa I look forward to reading La Jolla Light every week, but the recent reports of Su Casa’s closing have been disheartening. As I’m sending this message, I’m sitting here at Su Casa, enjoying a margarita and guacamole with my husband (yes, I know it’s rude table manners!) but right now, Friday evening, the restaurant is packed with happy families and couples of all ages. It is really enjoyable to look around and see our community. I’ve read a recent letter to the editor in which the writer bemoaned the loss of this La Jolla landmark. Well, let’s all try to do something to prevent it! Can we start a petition? Or at least

take a poll? I enjoy your weekly polls and find them informative. Can you please ask this week: Would you actively participate in a campaign to keep Su Casa restaurant open? — Dr. Rachel Clemesha Editor’s Note: At this time, with all necessary local advisory group approvals in hand, it looks like the Su Casa redevelopment project is heading for a fall 2016 groundbreaking. Plans are for the restaurant and adjoining apartment complex to be replaced by a mixed-use building and two residential complexes. Perhaps those interested could encourage the Su Casa Seafood Grotto management to relocate the beloved eatery to one of the numerous vacant storefronts around La Jolla.

Town Council to choose ‘Mayor of La Jolla’ 2016 The La Jolla Town Council will announce its choice for Honorary Mayor of La Jolla for 2016 at its Thursday, Feb. 11 meeting, which begins 5 p.m. at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. As the primary local organization representing La Jollans, the Town Council will move forward to bestow this recognition upon a worthy La Jollan who has shown a commitment to the betterment of the town without regard for

personal gain. The honoree will likely have volunteered many years of service to La Jolla and its residents. The Town Council is establishing this new yearly tradition as a way to memorialize the numerous individuals who volunteer day in and day out to beautify our town, protect our coast, preserve our small town atmosphere, help those in need, organize and host cultural, literary and artistic events, work to preserve our history and heritage, and support and lead La Jolla’s charitable organizations. The Town Council is proud to sponsor this new recognition. Founded in 1950, the Town Council represents the residents and businesses of La Jolla and seeks to facilitate an open and robust public discussion of the important issues facing La Jolla. — Steve Haskins president@lajollatowncouncil.org (619) 479-4351, ext. 10

Parents, volunteers and teachers decorated classrooms extensively and provided videos, snacks, demonstrations and activities to introduce the students to the various cultural aspects of each nation.

St. James welcomes new British rector

I’d like to bring a new energy and new life and help the parish flourish.

Rev. Dr. Mark Kingston Hargreaves joins seaside church in January BY ASHLEY MACKIN After a year of searching nationally and internationally, St. James By-the-Sea Episcopal Church has found a new rector: Rev. Dr. Mark Kingston Hargreaves. Having taken the pulpit on Jan. 17, Hargreaves joins St. James after 18 years as the vicar of St. Peter’s Notting Hill in London. “It’s an exciting time to arrive; there is this general sense of a new chapter opening up and new opportunities,” he said during an interview with La Jolla Light. “It’s been a while since there was a full-time rector at St. James ... so it’s a time to take stock and look at how we best want to use the resources at our disposal. “This is a wonderful church in a beautiful building with wonderful resources and people. I’d like to bring a new energy and new life and help the parish flourish. I came from a church in London that was very connected to its community, so I’d like to build on the connections we already have

with the wider community of La Jolla.” Citing St. James’ “great musical tradition and choir that puts on a top-quality concert series,” Hargreaves said “that’s a real strength on which to build.” Looking at the services, he said the beautiful sanctuary makes it easy to lead worship and meaningful liturgies. “I enjoy preaching and it’s great to offer sermons I’ve worked hard on and be of service here.” As a third-generation cleric, Hargreaves brings his own traditions to his ministry; both his father and maternal grandfather were vicars. “I was brought up in a rectory and it was always part of my background. But when I was 19, I got my own sense of calling and felt this was something for me — and I’ve never regretted it. Being a rector brings out my strengths and I find it fulfilling,” he said. Credited with sermons that are “intellectually stimulating and

He holds a degree in Theology from Oriel College, Oxford and a Ph.D. from Robinson College, Cambridge. While in school, he met his wife, Laura, who was also studying

theology. Being a Southern California native, Laura is partially credited with the family’s move to St. James from London. “She is from Anaheim, so when we saw there was a position in California, we had to apply,” he said. The Hargreaves have two grown

children. Son Jacob is studying business at Northeastern University in Boston, and daughter Miriam is following in her father’s footsteps and recently finished her degree in Theology from Oxford. Keeping enthusiasm for the church alive is important to Hargreaves. “It’s fashionable to talk about the decline of the church, but where I’ve come from, we’ve seen church attendance grow significantly. I’ve always worked in churches that were experiencing growth,” he said. “There are a variety of reasons one might come to church and ways in which they would be affected afterward.” Hargreaves’ hope for those who come to a St. James service is that they leave with “a sense of God’s presence,” he said. “A big part of it is losing oneself in the worship of something greater. I hope people take something from the sermon that causes them to reflect or think of things in a slightly different way during their week. On a social level, churches are one of the few institutions where people can come from different social/economic backgrounds and experiences in life, and make friends and meet people they might not have met in the course of a work week.” ■ IF YOU GO: St. James By-the-Sea, 743 Prospect St., was established in 1907.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Patrice Beale Denman May 31, 1925 - January 20, 2016

La JoLLa — Patrice Beale Denman, native San Diegan, died peacefully on January 20, 2016. She was married to the late Dr. Thomas H. Denman in 1979. The couple henceforth made their home in the La Jolla Seville. They enjoyed membership in the La Jolla Country Club. Patrice, a talented pianist,

gave her first solo public recital at the age of eight, and, when still in her teens, won a four-year Fellowship at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in New York City, for study with the internationally renowned pianist and teacher Mme. Rosina Lhevinne. Upon her return to San Diego, Patrice played occasionally in chamber

music recitals and taught both privately and at San Diego State University. In association with the La Jolla Chamber Music Society, Dr. and Mrs. Denman presented the first San Diego performance of “Quartet for the End of Time” by olivier Messiaen, and, on another occasion, “Bachianas Brasileiras No.5” by Heitor Villa-Lobos. For many years, Patrice rotated on and off the Board of Directors of the San Diego opera Guild, which later grew into the San Diego opera, holding various offices over the years including assistant Treasurer, Publicity Chairman, Program Chairman, Editor of the opera Scene Newsletter and, lastly, Secretary of the Production Committee of the San Diego opera in its

earliest years. Patrice was a member of the National Society of Magna Charta Dames, her circa 1215 aD English ancestors having been Sir Richard de Clare and Sir Gilbert de Clare; also a lineal descendant of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland, and of the House of Mar in Scotland. She was also a member of The Society of Mayflower Descendants in California, her Mayflower ancestor having been Henry Samson and, thereby, a cousin of former First Lady Barbara Bush and past President George W. Bush. It was Patrice’s wish that no funeral or memorial service be performed at her death. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

her dog, and created jewelry and sculptures using sea shells and coral. Beloved for her engaging smile, intelligence and sense of humor, she encouraged a joy of life to all those who knew her. She moved to oakland in 2001 to live near her daughter, Waverly. Evelyn is survived by her three children, Jacqueline, Waverly and Douglas; her brother, alvin Schwartz; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Kiwanis distributes marathon proceeds

BY ASHLEY MACKIN In the Kiwanis Room of the La Jolla Community Center Jan. 29, the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla presented the proceeds from its 34th annual La Jolla Half Marathon and La Jolla Shores 5K, held last April, to several nonprofits in need. The race generally raises $200,000 a year, and 100 percent of net proceeds benefit youth, senior and community programs supported by La Jolla Kiwanis Foundation. One of this year’s beneficiaries was the La Jolla Community Center. “One of the reasons our volunteers do this (the La Jolla Half Marathon) is to support the community and today I’m proud to present

to the Community Center a check for $12,000,” said Kiwanis Club president Henry Chiu. Accepting the check on behalf of the Community Center, executive director Nancy Walters said, “The generosity of Kiwanis never ceases to amaze me … These funds will help us continue to create a better center. We have several pending projects these funds will help us achieve, such as a new fire alarm system to secure the center, LED lighting going into the classrooms, and new furniture.” Other beneficiaries included: Ocean Discoveries for $1,000; The Alpha Project for $1,500; Casa de Los Pobres, USA, for $2,000.

La Jolla Rotary Scholarships available to Class of 2016

Graduating seniors from any of La Jolla’s four high schools are eligible for the Rotary Club of La Jolla Scholarship Program, which annually awards more than $150,000 to eligible students.

Chuck Patton proud to pour ‘best cup of coffee in San Diego’

B

ird Rock Coffee Roasters was recognized last week as a recipient of the 2016 Good Food Award in the coffee division, and owner Chuck Patton couldn’t be prouder. Winners of this award represent the forefront of American food, making products that are “delicious, respectful of the environment, and connected to communities and cultural traditions.” The coffee that sealed the award for BRCR was its Geisha varietal from the Lino Lot on the Panama Esmeralda Estate, Panama. The coffee is characterized by tasting notes of jasmine, honey, dried raspberries, cream and lavender with a velvety texture. Geisha varietals Chuck Patton from the same estate are on sale now at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters for $50 for eight ounces, or via pour over at all three locations for $11 per cup. The Geisha is one of the more expensive varietals because it is extremely rare, is a low-yielding varietal, and is difficult to grow. This is a national award with winners from 33 states that were among 2,000 entries. Winners were processed in a blind tasting with 203 judges in September 2015.

William Newport Goodell: Painter, craftsman, teacher

What brought you to La Jolla? I grew up in Pacific Beach and my grandmother used to live at Park La Jolla. After college, my wife and I ended up in San Francisco for a few years, and when it was time to move back, we did not want to live anywhere else.

If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Improve the parking situation in Bird Rock. It is difficult to have a thriving business community without easy access to parking. Who or what inspires you? Our farming partners in the countries where we buy our coffee inspire me. They work incredibly hard and are passionate about what they do, which makes me want to work harder every time I return from a sourcing trip.

‘Still Life with Artist’ by William Newport Goodell, oil on canvas, circa 1926. Collection of Jean Barrett Holloway

BY LINDA HUTCHISON illiam Newport Goodell (1908-1999) was an artist who painted in the bold strokes of American Regionalism and who also made an indelible impression on La Jolla as a teacher and member of the community. For the first time, his collected works are being exhibited here in two related venues. “William Newport Goodell: painter, craftsman, teacher” is a joint effort of the La Jolla Historical Society and the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. Opening Feb. 6, the Historical Society’s part of the exhibit will showcase Goodell’s self-portraits, family portraits and still life paintings, as well as his craftwork. A wood and metal worker, he made many of his own wood frames and metal items such as goblets. The exhibit at the Society's Wisteria Cottage galleries will also include biographical information and photographs.

‘Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness’ by Goodell, serigraph on paper, circa 1946. Collection of Carolanne Gano

The Athenaeum venue, opening Feb. 20, will feature Goodell's landscapes, seascapes and World War II service work. According to Heath Fox, director of the Historical Society, there were several reasons for selecting Goodell, even though he is not well known. “He was an interesting character in the history of the community,” Fox explained. “It’s part of our responsibility to tell the story of individuals who were part of La Jolla. He was underappreciated, but he produced art work that paralleled a significant movement in art history, Regionalism, that was a foil to Abstractionism.” Although the bulk of Goodell’s work was created on the East Coast before he moved to San Diego in 1951, today many of his paintings are owned by collectors in Southern California. There were so many, SEE GOODELL, B4

Whine, whine, whine

T

La Jolla Cultural Partners

he loss of both Jonathan's and the Haggen-Albertsons supermarkets couldn’t have been more clearly felt than during Christmas week. There was no good will among men. No parking either. I had hoped to do my last Christmas food shopping on the Tuesday before Christmas. But as soon as I pulled into the La Jolla Vons lot from Fay, I found myself trapped in a hopeless gridlock. I honestly thought it was possible that I could spend the day there, ultimately abandoning my car and taking the bus home. It took me more than an hour just to get myself out the other side of the lot, having never actually bought any groceries. It’s not, of course, like we don’t have other options. Trader Joe’s has loads of fun stuff, so long as you don’t mind having exactly two choices of fish pre-packaged in sizes you don’t want, and are OK with buying a whole bag of carrots when you need just one. Want a deli sandwich? Not happening. Go on a Sunday afternoon? Lines are literally all the way to the back of the store. At the small Sprouts store, you can get that deli sandwich (or for me, fresh sliced cold cuts) if you’ve got a half hour to wait for it. Every day seems to be somebody’s first day. Need paper or cleaning products? Not

there. Looking for a specific brand name? Nope! The Vons in Pacific Beach is a blessedly full service store but their parking situation is only one sigma better than downtown La Jolla because of all the other businesses in that mall that it services. Now, I fully admit that this is a First World problem. But this will not keep me from whining about it anyway. Is it too much to ask for a perfect grocery shopping experience that includes everything I could want in one stop with convenient parking? I think not. In my 43 years here, I’ve frequented all the local markets in their various incarnations but my go-to store was usually Albertsons. Though smaller than Vons, it made getting in and out of there that much faster, and I liked the shorter lines and easy angled parking. I always felt like I was taking my life in my hands in the La Jolla Vons parking lot where the local Beemerati drive like it’s a speedway that is coincidentally contiguous to a supermarket. Without Jonathan's and Albertsons, Vons perpetually feels like a mall on Christmas Eve. Too many cars, too few spaces. Too many of us oldies trying to navigate (badly) out of perpendicular parking spots.

In January 2015, the Washington State-based Haggen chain acquired some 83 Albertsons stores in Southern California, including the one in La Jolla. Alas, it all went sour pretty quickly. While the layout was more spacious-looking, the prices were significantly higher. When my backyard lemon tree couldn’t keep up with demand, I couldn’t bring myself to pay 99-cents for lemons when they’re 33-cents each at Trader Joe’s (never mind steal-able in the middle of the night from my neighbor’s back yard). I mean, this is lemon country, folks. One could only assume they were growing them in hot houses at their Pacific Northwest headquarters. Only months after the store opened, articles starting appearing in the paper. Haggen was shortening hours, laying off employees. Pretty soon a visit to the local Haggen started feeling like an Eastern European supermarket experience in time of famine. The entire milk case was empty one week, along with the eggs, cheese, and sour cream. Sometimes juices were non-existent or the meat case was virtually meatless. Even bread was in short supply. I had planned to make a chicken marsala for dinner one night and could get the marsala, but not the chicken. Sporadic deliveries became the norm. I decided to adopt the shopping strategy I used while we lived in Europe in 2005 and 2006. You don’t go with a menu in mind; you just buy whatever happens to be there and make something with it. This requires creativity and flexibility, and a tolerance for the occasionally inedible meal. In Europe, I didn’t know the language and had no idea

INGA

Haggen Supermarket: sporadic deliveries were common before bankruptcy was declared. what I was buying most of the time anyway. I discovered, for example, that those cold cuts we’d been having for lunch were actually horse. That package of cut up chicken parts turned out to be rabbit. Here, at least, I recognized the products. Then came the announcement that didn’t surprise anyone who had been shopping at the store: Haggen had declared bankruptcy and was closing all 83 emporia in Southern California. Sadly, this had to be the fastest food fail in supermarket history. A Gelson's supermarket is rumored to be opening at the Haggen/Albertsons/Lucky/ AlphaBeta location in late March. Just so we’re clear: Don’t even THINK of messing with the angled parking. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light. Reach her at Inga47@san.rr.com

FROM GOODELL, B1 in fact, Fox turned to the Athenaeum for extra space. “We had more material than we can show in our gallery," he said. "The Athenaeum is a natural partner and it's a nice thing when we can collaborate.” Athenaeum executive director Erika Torres concurs. “Goodell was an important figure and teacher, an interesting artist and the exhibit helps promote art history knowledge in La Jolla and San Diego. It’s a wonderful collection,” she said. Curator Tara Centybear carefully laid out Goodell’s two main bodies of work in the two venues. “We made the groupings beneficial to the viewer, so he or she can absorb the deeper view,” she said. “He was an exquisite painter, his work was powerful, if somewhat bizarre.” Centybear said she hopes that celebrating artists who are not as well-known will also inspire those currently working.

Some Goodell History

Goodell was born in Germantown, Philadelphia to a Quaker family. He was the youngest of four children. His two older sisters were Impressionist painters and his brother a photographer. He studied art but set off early to work in a studio and build a forge. In keeping with Quaker tradition, he also enjoyed the practical arts of wood and metal crafting. His painting style was influenced by American Realism and to some extent by Impressionism, but he was most closely identified with Regionalism (also called American Scene painting) that was popular from the 1920s to 1950s. In his early 40s, he married a family friend,

Mingei shows collection of historic West African flags FROM MINGEI REPORTS Asafo Flags from Ghana, a recent donation to the Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park, will be on view Feb. 6-July 17 with programs related to the exhibition announced online at mingei.org/calendar. Curated by Christine Heitbrink, these 37 colorful flags from West Africa date to the late 19th and 20th centuries, and feature graphic folk imagery and appliquéd designs over a background of French roller-printed cotton cloth. They were commissioned by organizations known as asafo (companies), whose primary role was to exercise political influence and maintain social codes of conduct among the Akan people. Smaller towns had at least one company, and larger towns up to 14. Akan proverbs are interpreted with imaginative visual form on the flags, in which messages to opponents are displayed, customs are remembered and oral traditions are preserved. Intense rivalry among companies once led to violent confrontations, but today this is channeled into peaceful competitions. Colonial influence can be noted in these flags, derived in part from the display of European flags in the region; indeed, the British Union Jack appears on flags created before Ghana gained its independence in 1957. ■ IF YOU GO: The Mingei museum collects, preserves and exhibits folk art, craft and design from all eras and cultures of the world at 1439 El Prado in Balboa Park. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday. Admission: $7-$10. Free to San Diego residents on third Tuesdays. (619) 239-0003. mingei.org

Asafo Flags are displayed at funerals, annual festivals and other ceremonial occasions, where they adorn central shrines and are paraded and waved through villages and towns. Gift of Barb Rich.

Rice Paper Vegetable Wraps Super Bowl Sunday meets the Chinese New Year

I

t seems this year, more than in others, the traditional seasonal events are symbolized by the animal kingdom: one of the hallowed American traditions, the Super Bowl (Feb. 7) is represented by Broncos and Panthers, while the Chinese Lunar New Year (Feb. 8) has the monkey as its zodiac sign. Whether coincidence or providence, these two colossal events share many similarities, making it easy to blend them into one delicious combination plate. Whether you’re intellectual and intense like Peyton Manning (Denver Broncos’ quarterback) or possess great adeptness and flexibility like Cam Newton (North Carolina’s quarterback) here are some funky culinary suggestions to help you plan a winning Big Game shindig with an Asian inspiration.

Family-style servings

Both events are shrouded in customs and traditions that embrace rituals and superstitions, along with a gustatory orgy as a focal point. Conveniently, Chinese food and Super Bowl fare are meant to be shared family-style. No food groups or flavors are out of bounds, so let the feasting begin

with appetizers, such as, sweet and savory dumplings (which may remind you of the pigskin), crunchy, refreshing hoison lettuce wraps filled with chopped chicken, water chestnuts, scallions and rice noodles, shrimp or vegetable spring rolls, or light and refreshing rice paper wraps (see recipe) dialed up with a tangy soy ginger sauce. Other traditional Chinese New Year delicacies include sweet and spicy prawns or shrimp for liveliness and happiness, dried oysters (or Rocky Mountain oysters for Denver fans) so all good things will come to fruition, and a bountiful fish salad to herald a year of good luck and prosperity, which will be especially true for the winning team. Other foods eaten during the celebration are a whole fish to symbolize togetherness (and teamwork), and a whole chicken for prosperity. Although wings are more game friendly, and can be regionally adapted with either Carolina (vinegar-based) or Colorado (southwest style) barbecue sauces for basting and dipping. Uncut noodles are customarily served for longevity. And, indeed, Peyton is one of the oldest active quarterbacks in the history of the game, turning 40 this year. So noodle up

Serve chilled with soy ginger or spicy peanut sauce. with a chilled buckwheat noodle salad or a lo mein stirfry with chicken, seafood and a load of veggies from pea pods and bean sprouts to red peppers and broccoli florets for a pop of color and an antioxidant oomph.

What’s New in the Debate Over Rest Regulations for Truckers? It is commonly known that truckers without proper sleep or proper training can be some of the deadliest individuals on the road today. A new federal study is being conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute to determine if truckers will pose greater dangers on the

road if they are allowed more flexibility with their sleep schedules. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute signed a $2.5 million research contract with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in order to examine the behaviors of 200 long haul truck drivers who have been given freedom from the strict regulations associated with consecutive 8-hour sleeping requirements. The past several years has brought trucker regulations to the forefront of the national conversation after incidents such as the 2014 accident in New Jersey that seriously hurt comedian Tracy Morgan. The truck driver who caused the wreck is alleged

to have been sleep deprived. Just several months after that accident, a new provision of a law mandates that truckers stop for 34 hours after 70 straight hours of driving in a period of 8 consecutive days. This amendment of the law changed the previous requirement, in which the 34 hours could contain two periods between 1 a.m. and 5a.m. and held truckers to only one 34-hour stop each week. Commercial truck operators have long resisted the requirements mandating adequate rest because of the schedules they claim they need to keep in order to get paid. It is expected that the study in question will not start until 2017. The project will involve a company from California known as

SmartDrive, which will put cameras inside the cabs of long-haul trucks in order to capture footage of the road as well as the driver, and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, which will use electronic wristband units to measure the amount of sleep that drivers are ultimately getting. Those individuals who support regulations for truck drivers to get adequate rest are primarily concerned about the dangers of drowsy driving. According to research, more than 30,000 people die on highways across the United States every single year, and crashes involving large vehicles such as these trucks are responsible for 1 in every 7 highway deaths, according to recent research from the New York Times.

Words and pictures draw crowd to MCASD opening

O

n Jan. 30, hundreds of art-lovers gathered at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) in La Jolla for the opening of a pair of exhibitions exploring the works of two artists who have spent decades defining the regions they live in with their art — West Coast Pop and Conceptual Art icon Ed Ruscha, and Baja California abstract painter Álvaro Blancarte.

“Ed Ruscha Then & Now,” curated by Kathryn Kanjo, MCASD Deputy Director of Art and Programs, features paintings from the artist’s early years (the 1960s) and more recent ones (the 2000s), spotlighting his use of recurring themes, words and images over the past half-century. “When he was still in high school, he started seeing the possibilities of what art could be,” Kanjo said. “He’s an example of how young artists can set up abiding interests, questions and themes that remain constant throughout their lives.” Ruscha, now 78, was born in Nebraska, raised in Oklahoma, and made his way to Chouinard Art Institute (now CalArts) in Los Angeles in the mid-1950s. Strongly influenced by L.A’s landscape and pop culture, he began creating paintings that featured power words and found phrases in the 1960s, and has since been honored with retrospectives around the world. For years, his mural “Brave Men Run in My Family” has enlivened MCASD’s outside west wall, above the sculpture garden. “Álvaro Blancarte: Marking the Present” was curated by Cris Scorza, MCASD’s Education Curator. Born in Sinaloa, Mexico, Blancarte lives and works in Tecate, often mixing sand and paint to suggest the landscape of Baja California. Now in his 80s, he exhibits internationally and has been mentor and inspiration to a new generation of Tijuana artists. Although much of his work is large-scale, including a mural at San Ysidro’s Mexican Port of Entry, he recently produced a series of 100 small textured canvases, 42 of which are here on display. ■ IF YOU GO: The exhibits are up at MCASD through April 24, with museum hours 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (11 a.m. to 7 p.m. third Thursdays), 700 Prospect St. Admission: $10; $5 ages 65-plus.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - FEBRUARY 4, 2016 - PAGE B17

Filner harassment case settled The San Diego City Council Feb. 2 unanimously approved a $667,000 settlement with Benelia Santos-Hunter, who had sued the city and its former mayor Bob Filner, alleging she was sexually harassed by Filner while working in his office in 2013. Santos-Hunter was Filner’s executive assistant from Jan.7, 2013, until his resignation took effect on Aug. 30, 2013. Her lawsuit was filed in August, 2014. It alleged she was sexually harassed on many occasions over the course of eight

months and that Filner’s inner circle in the Mayor’s office knew, yet failed to stop the harassment or prevent further harassment. Santos-Hunter was in a unique situation at City Hall. Her office was connected to the Mayor’s office by a private door, and she had many interactions with him every day. Under the settlement, she will receive $667,000 as full settlement of all claims against the city and Filner, including attorney fees. The parties will split the cost of mediation services, which totaled

$4,545. The settlement is the fourth reached in lawsuits alleging harassment by Filner. Previously, the city paid $250,000 to Irene McCormack Jackson, who had been Filner’s communications director, and $99,000 to Katherine Ragazzino, a disabled veteran, and Michelle Tyler, Ms. Ragazzino’s nurse caretaker. Still to be resolved are lawsuits against the city and Filner by Marilyn McGaughy, an anti-domestic violence advocate, and Stacie McKenzie, a city parks employee.

Sophia Bastardo of Troop 4254 brought her family to the busy boardwalk in Mission Beach last week to market her boxes! When you buy a box of Girl Scout Cookies, most of the money stays with the Scout you purchased cookies from and her troop to fund adventures from trips to the nation's capital to community projects to spending the summer at camp.

Now in the Vernacular compassion fade: noun; the decrease in compassion felt for the unfortunate as their numbers increase. —wordspy.com

True or False? This year, Christians will mark Ash Wednesday (the beginning of the 46 days of Lent) on Feb. 10. True. Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of blessing ashes made from palm branches blessed on the previous year's Palm Sunday, and placing them in the shape of a cross on the heads of participants, to the words "Repent, and believe in the Gospel" or "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

While the Bible does not mention Ash Wednesday, it does record accounts of people in the Old Testament using dust and ashes as symbols of repentance and/or mourning. The Lenten Season, established in the 4th century, is a period of fasting, moderation and self-denial for the purpose of repenting sins and consecrating oneself to God. It ends on Easter Sunday. A history of Lent by Fr. William Saunders can be found at catholiceducation.org
