BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee (DPR) gave final approval to three projects during its Feb. 9 meeting, sending them along to the La Jolla Community Planning Association for ratification.
Muirlands Water Project
Initially discussed at the Jan. 19 meeting, a water project planned for the Muirlands area will involve 8,936 feet of pipe replacement and 2,300 feet of new pipe within the public right of way at multiple locations on various streets: Avenida Manana, Avenida Wilfredo, Manana Place, Muirlands Vista Way, Muirlands Drive, Solymar Drive, Newkirk Drive, Inspiration Drive, Terryhill Drive and Havenhurst Drive, plus other alleys and easements in the area. Work is scheduled to start in June or July, and expected to last 11 months. Project manager Jericho Gallardo brought the committee more details about staging and storage, indicating the

Merchants Association discusses business side of proposed MAD Will consider a vote at March 9 meeting BY ASHLEY MACKIN Continuing public outreach, the steering committee behind the proposed Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) presented its plans to the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association (LJVMA) Feb. 10, which was meeting at its new home, La Jolla Riford Library. As the trustees who currently handle Village beautification and cleanup efforts, LJVMA members discussed how a MAD might affect local businesses. La Valencia General Manager and steering committee chair Mark DiBella told the group the proposed MAD would be managed by a nonprofit organization called Enhance La Jolla, under the auspices of the La Jolla Community Foundation. The MAD would beautify and improve the SEE MAD, A10

Town Council names community activist Joe LaCava Honorary Mayor of La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN Joe LaCava has been named the first Honorary Mayor of La Jolla by the La Jolla Town Council. The announcement came during the Feb. 11 meeting at the Rec Center, as Town Council president Steve Haskins called LaCava “the one person in La Jolla this year who eminently qualifies” for the recognition. This is the first time in the history of La Jolla that a citizen was named “Honorary Mayor.” Haskins said it is a tradition carried out by other town councils that La Jolla thought would be a great way to recognize deserving community activists. “The title ‘Honorary Mayor of La Jolla, 2016’ is bestowed by the Town Council upon a La Jollan who exemplifies a personal commitment to our community and its people, who operates with integrity in all interactions, and who has demonstrated the ability to work with others of all backgrounds and points of

view, not for their own personal benefit, but the benefit of the community as a whole,” he said, before naming LaCava — who coyly insisted he knew nothing about the title he was about to receive. Haskins went on to explain that LaCava is a native San Diegan, who graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in civil engineering, and who has used his career skills to provide creative problem solving on complex community projects. “Joe has worked as a community leader for about a decade to improve the city planning process and increase citizen participation,” he said. “He was re-elected for the third time as chair of San Diego Community Planners Committee, where 42 planning groups come together to discuss citywide issues. As chair, he was instrumental in securing annual funding for planning groups and rewriting council policy to acknowledge the SEE MAYOR LACAVA, A16

Singles, Mingles and Wedding Jingles – What effect does it have on buying homes?
Living arrangements and partnerships have changed drastically since 1967. Then, there were basically two living arrangements: either a young person lived with a spouse, or their parents. Today, while about half of the 18 to 24 year olds still live with a parent, the other half lives in more diverse arrangements. The biggest change in living arrangements is related to the delay in marriage. On average, young adults wait nearly 6 years longer to get married today. Marrying later is part of the reason the 25 to 34 year old population resembles the 18 to 24 year old population of 1967. Today only 8 percent of the 18 to 24 year olds live with a spouse. The others live with relatives, partners, or alone. Young adults are delaying childbearing, marriage and in some cases, home buying, which definitely creates a more diversified and complex housing market.

Nine Seats Up for Grabs
Shores Board readies for March election
BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Shores Association Chair Nick LeBeouf said he hopes next month’s elections produce a board that is knowledgeable and engaged in the community. Nine board seats are open with both one- and two-year terms. At LJSA’s Feb. 10 meeting at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, interested candidates had the opportunity to offer statements to encourage votes. Additional residents and business operators reportedly expressed interest in running, but were not in attendance to confirm their candidacy or give a statement. Current board members Terry Kraszewski, Shahar Compton and Jenny Feinberg announced they would be running for re-election. Previous board member and community volunteer Mary Munk also announced she would seek a seat. In her statement, Kraszewski said, “I’ve served on this board for many years, and have also served on the Friends of La Jolla Shores committee and the La Jolla Shores Business Association. I’ve enjoyed helping the community and look forward to making more positive changes.” In his, Compton said, “As a resident and recording secretary for LJSA, I’d like to continue to serve the community while interacting with residents and businesses to keep our community at its absolute best

and welcoming conditions. I strive for the preservation of the community while welcoming modern ideas for a cleaner, environmentally friendly neighborhoods that is welcomed by all.” Current LJSA treasurer Feinberg stated, “As a resident and business owner, it’s been a privilege to interact with the board and the community. I would like to continue to serve.” Munk, who chairs the Friends of La Jolla Shores group, said, “I’ve been lucky enough to live here since 2000 and there are lots of places we can make some major differences and I would like to help pull
member Tim Lucas noted, by the time Delouri can speak about a development, it is too late for public comment. “We are the ones impacted by campus growth, such as more students, more parking (structures) and more traffic, so community members should somehow be involved in the process before it gets to a point that’s too late (for input),” he said. Agreeing, Delouri said she and her staff have been thinking of having a “work group” comprised of UCSD staff and community members to address this very issue. “If there isn’t communication, you won’t know what our struggles are and we
the community together to make that happen.” Ballots will be completed and mailed out to eligible voters before the 6:30 p.m. March 9 meeting. The ballot submission deadline will be start of the meeting. To keep next year’s LJSA board proactive, ways to be more involved were introduced — chiefly, relating to UC San Diego developments and other community advisory boards. Anu Delouri, assistant director for communications and community planning at UCSD, often reports to the board about campus changes and projects. However, as former board

To increase community engagement, LeBeouf offered a brief presentation on the other La Jolla boards that make decisions that impact the Shores, and he encouraged participation on these boards. He said LJSA appoints representatives to La Jolla Traffic & Transportation and La Jolla Permit Review Committee, who speak for the Shores should an issue affecting the area arise. The findings

of these boards are ultimately ratified by La Jolla Community Planning Association. More directly tied to the Shores, he said the La Jolla Shores Advisory Board is a group appointed by the mayor (LJSA can recommend candidates for this board), and tasked with reviewing all applications for permits within La Jolla Shores Planned District. The board submits its recommendations to a planning director. Its findings are typically reported at LJSA meetings. LJSA member Janie Emerson explained the La Jolla Shores Advisory Board is an important, but challenging, committee to be
LJSA candidate Shahar Compton (left) on. “There hasn’t been a full La Jolla Shores Advisory Board in a long time, and that’s because it’s a tough board because you have to know the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance (or blueprint for design), municipal code, how to read plans and be willing to go and look at these projects. Members need to know what they’re talking about when they vote on projects (and report to LJSA).” Lastly, LeBeouf explained the role LJSA has in the greater La Jolla Park and Recreation Council. “Responsibility for La Jolla public parks is split among three groups: La Jolla Park & Rec, La Jolla Parks & Beaches, and La

On our website — ljsa.org — we have a map that shows the parks in our purview,” he said. “When the summer and holidays get closer, we will need to gather volunteers and fundraise for signage to enforce the park rules.” Overall, LeBeouf said he was “excited” for the year — and board — to come. ■ La Jolla Shores Association meets 6:30 p.m second Wednesdays at SIO’s Martin Johnson House, 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org

FROM PROJECTS, A1 equipment used for trenching would be kept on Avenida Manana, Muirlands Vista Way, Newkirk Drive and Havenhurst Drive at different times throughout the project. “We chose these streets because they are the widest in this area, so there is plenty of room for storage and staging,” Gallardo said. “Contractors are always looking for the fastest way in and out of an area, so depending on where they start the project, they would likely store their equipment in one place and move it occasionally as they move the work.” As previously reported in La Jolla Light, the water project will be held concurrent to the planned undergrounding project in Muirlands. Phase one of the undergrounding project (which will ultimately take down overhead power lines and replace them with small utility boxes), will begin this summer. The larger phase two, which includes trenching and heavy street work, will begin in May 2017. Gallardo said once the undergrounding work is complete, the streets will be repaved. A motion to support the project passed unanimously.
Buckingham Drive demo
Also up for a final review was a demolition at 1525 Buckingham Drive, which would tear down an existing 3,235-square-foot single dwelling unit, 701-square-foot detached garage, pool house, swimming pool and shed(s). Project representative Dustin Hauck said there are no plans for what will replace the house, which he said is vacant, has not been

He said, “there was a big boon of parcels becoming condos in 2005-2006 that might be starting back up again.” The board determined there was no need for a return presentation and voted unanimously to accept the presentation as a final review, agreeing that findings could be made for the project documents.

Kolmar Street conversion
Project applicant Brian Rowe sought a Map Waiver and Coastal Development Permit for the conversion of an existing 3,698-square-foot residential duplex into condominium ownership on a 0.115 acre property at 247-249 Kolmar Street. DPR member Diane Kane expressed concern over a resurgence of areas in La Jolla being “condo-ized,” which Rowe did not

■ La Jolla Scenic home build: Following a courtesy presentation (during which DPR members cannot vote or make recommendations to LJCPA), project applicant Joshua Wood returned to request a Site Development Permit for environmentally sensitive lands for the construction of a new residence with a garage for four parking spaces totaling 10,380 square feet. The 1.37-acre site is located at 6083 La Jolla Scenic Drive South. “This is a new residence on an existing vacant lot, in a mix of stucco, stone and veneer on the exterior,” Wood said. Although the house is visible from the street, it is at the end of a very long driveway leading to the property. DPR member Angeles Leira said she saw “no issues with the house itself,” but would like to have a better idea of how it fits into the area and the landscape (given it is adjacent a canyon and on environmentally sensitive lands). The board requested Wood return with an aerial photo showing the site, the canyon and driveway all the way back to La Jolla Scenic Drive South on both sides of the driveway and both sides of the canyon; as well as provide a site section through the driveway; any new staff comments that have
been received since the December courtesy review on the drainage and brush management plans. Wood agreed to provide the information at a future meeting. ■ La Jolla Blvd. mixed-use: A Coastal Development Permit for the demolition of two existing commercial buildings and the construction of a two-story, 11,433 square foot mixed-use building with four residential units and two ground floor retail spaces at 5652-5656 La Jolla Blvd. is sought by project applicant Claude-Anthony Marengo. He informed the committee that the exterior of the project would have slate blue siding, a bronze aluminum frame and clear smoke glass. Raising a few members’ eyebrows was the hallway between the two proposed retail spaces, which meets the ADA accessibility laws, but at only four feet wide, was called “a dark passageway” and “brutal.” Because the ADA component is not a “sellable” part of the project, Marengo said he would limit the width to what is required by federal law, but would revisit the proposed width. The committee asked him to return with a photo montage to show how the proposed building fits with surrounding structures facing La Jolla Boulevard; an aerial photo; a design concept for the ADA-hallway; corrected drawings (to address a printing error on the presented drawings); and a material sample board. — La Jolla DPR meets 4 p.m. second and third Tuesdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

FROM MAD, A1 Village through maintenance above what the City of San Diego can provide, and capital improvement projects. Enhance La Jolla would manage MAD funds and would contract for ongoing maintenance services for the district. The MAD would have two areas — a business zone and a residential zone — with different frequencies of service. For example, sidewalk cleanup, graffiti removal, extra trash pickup and landscape maintenance would occur a couple of times a week in the commercial zone and a couple of times a month in the residential zone. As the managers of La Jolla’s Business Improvement District (BID), LJVMA collects fees from businesses operating in the Village, which in turn fund LJVMA services, including business support through beautification, marketing, special events and advocacy. Hoping to take the maintenance duties off their plate so LJVMA can focus on business promotion, DiBella spoke in favor of the MAD. He said a big difference between a BID and a MAD is the source and method of funding. “A BID is funded by assessments that just go to merchants, and these funds are collected by sending out a bill,” he said. “A MAD is a property tax assessment for every property owner in that district (businesss or residential).” In the past, LJVMA has had difficulty collecting BID fees from every merchant. In January 2014, LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune and president Claude-Anthony Marengo put out an “all hands on deck” initiative to collect BID fees. At that time, Fortune reported several

Later that year, with the increased outreach, the number of businesses paying their fees went up. With a MAD, DiBella said, the assessments are collected automatically. “Everyone wants to know what this will cost them,” he said, noting the exact amount for businesses would depend on the parcel size of the land on which the business sits, while resident property owners could expect to pay about $100 a year. DiBella added that the largest parcel owner is the City of San Diego, and would likely (and happily, he said) pay about $50,000 a year. DiBella’s business, the La Valencia Hotel, is the fifth largest parcel and it would

pay about $9,000 a year (or $700 a month) to the MAD. Citing specific businesses owned by LJVMA board members, he said Warwick’s bookstore owner Nancy Warwick would pay about $700 a year, or $58 a month. LJVMA member and Monarch Arredon Contemporary gallery owner Elsie Arrendo, who is one of several tenants in her building, would pay about $104 a month, divided between the retail tenants. Hearing this, Warwick said she sees paying MAD assessments as “an investment in our future” and expects she would “recoup the money I spent with an increase in business. I think it will make us a more competitive community.” However, LJVMA vice-president James Niebling said he was concerned about the added cost to smaller businesses. “La Jolla is made up of boutique businesses, mom-and-pop businesses, for whom an additional fee per month on top of what they already pay in BID assessments is a lot. We need to be concerned about that. It might be a real challenge for them,” he said. Further, he questioned how the Enhance La Jolla board would engage the LJVMA, so they could work collaboratively. DiBella explained Enhance La Jolla would have a board of directors – initially comprised of members suggested by the steering committee – who would, hopefully, have LJVMA representation. That board of directors would decide which projects and efforts get funding and how much. The board would be comprised of property owners (50 percent plus one) and interested stakeholders, such as business owners or residents. Complaints or requests for service
would be reported to the Enhance La Jolla board. Taking management cues from other MADs in San Diego, DiBella said, “One of the things I try to emphasize is that we are not creating something new. There are more than 60 MADs across San Diego. We’re banking on the fact that these are very successful (in other areas). One of the great things about a MAD is once one is formed, it allows that area to benefit from private donations. Right now, if someone wanted to donate for new benches, we couldn’t put the benches in (due to city liability laws), and we know there are a number of donors who would like to participate.” LJVMA declined to vote for or against a MAD at the February meeting, but asked DiBella and supporters to return to the March meeting. La Jolla Community Foundation board members have said they would like the MAD established by July 31 to allow the assessments to be available for use by Jan. 1, 2017. 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 affected property owners. Although the entirety of the 92037 ZIP code would not be eligible to vote, anyone who would be affected would receive a ballot in the mail in late spring. Ballots are weighted based on the size of property owned. The results of the vote would go to the City Council for verification in summer. ■ La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association next meets 3 p.m. Wednesday, March 9 at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. lajollabythesea.org

La Jolla High grads launch ‘Go Out’ app
A screen capture of the ‘Go Out’ app
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Emil Juboori and Anthony Correia from the La Jolla High School Class of 2010 want you to get out and explore San Diego. But what if you only want to find farmers markets or karaoke times or happy hours or community service opportunities? Or just what’s happening in your own neighborhood? There’s an app for that. Well, now there is. Juboori and Correia have created “Go Out,” an app that lists all local events in one place. “We were kind of shocked to realize there was nothing out there that covered all different kinds of events,” Juboori said. “Similar apps might list concerts, or special events at clubs, but there is not one place to look at all kinds of events. We know that information is out there, we’re just putting it together on our platform. Some people aren’t into nightlife, and there are tons of things to do in the mornings or during the day. We wanted to make it easy for our users to find what’s going on around them.” Users are able to filter their searches by event type, date, location or proximity to their spot. “You get directions, event information, ticket information, photos and more,” he said. The app is available for free on the App Store or Google Play Store by searching “Go Out.” More information about the app, including tutorials, is at gooutmobileapp.com (A promotional video found on the website was filmed at Village locations, including Puesto restaurant, WindanSea Beach and La Jolla Boulevard.)

‘Go Out’ app creators Anthony Correia and Emil Juboori things to do and those wanting to get people to their businesses, Correia said anyone can post events and specials. “We want any and every user to add their own messages,” he said. “People are already adding events and specials, and some businesses are even adding incentives, such as free items if you show you saw the listing on our app.” To further spread the word, the duo made a presentation to the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association during its Feb. 10 meeting. (Read more about the meeting on page A1) “We thought it might help businesses get to a demographic they might not otherwise have reached,” Juboori said. “Our goal is to send customers through their doors.” The impetus for the app was a day of boredom over spring break about a year and a half ago, Correia explained. “We were at Emil’s
house and wondering what we should do. We know there are all kinds of things to do in San Diego, but wanted to see it all in one place,” he said. Realizing there was a need, and with a longtime interest in technology, the two set out to design and build the app. “Phone consumption is just going up and we thought this was something we would like to explore,” Juboori said. Starting with just the two of them, a prototype was built while Juboori was studying psychology at UC Riverside and Correia was studying psychology at Mesa College. With degrees under their belt, they established a development team to get the app functional. Two of the team members are students at UC San Diego and another is an Air Force retiree with expertise in GPS coordination. Hoping to build on that team (and pay them!) Correia and Juboori said they would be launching a fundraising campaign to broaden the company to other areas and market the business. But for now, they are focused on expanding the user-base and encouraging event posting. Juboori said, “We just want to help people find stuff to do.”

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Scripps Health issues tips for fighting the flu With cases of seasonal influenza increasing across San Diego County, Scripps Health reminds residents of some basic tips for keeping influenza at bay and dealing with the illness if it strikes. “The good news is there is still time to get a flu shot — and this year the vaccine is a good match,” said Anil Keswani, M.D., vice-president of ambulatory care and population health management at Scripps. “Vaccination, frequent hand washing and taking extra precautions around those who are ill are the best defenses against infection.” People age 65 and older, children under age two, pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions (including asthma, heart disease, neurological conditions, blood disorders, a weakened immune system or are morbidly obese) face a higher risk of developing flu-related complications. “If you feel ill, I’d encourage you to check with your physician,” Dr. Keswani said. Scripps patients can call 1-800-SCRIPPS to make an appointment. ■ Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent getting sick. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for enough antibodies to build up in the body to protect against infection. ■ Wash your hands often with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Avoid contact with sick people. ■ Watch out for flu symptoms, which can
include a fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches and fatigue. ■ If you become sick, stay home from work and school to avoid infecting others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone without using fever-reducing medicine. ■ Cover your coughs and sneezes. ■ Check with your doctor to see if you should be treated with an antiviral drug. ■ Avoid the emergency room unless you are suffering from more serious flu symptoms, which include trouble breathing or shortness of breath; chest or abdomen pain or pressure; sudden dizziness; confusion; severe or persistent vomiting; and flu symptoms that improve but then return with fever and a worse cough. ■ For children, seek emergency medical help if they are breathing fast or are having trouble breathing; have bluish skin color; aren’t drinking enough fluids, aren’t waking up or interacting; are so irritable they don’t want to be held; have a fever with a rash; aren’t able to eat; don’t shed tears when crying; have significantly fewer wet diapers than normal; or have flu symptoms improve but then return with fever and a worse cough.

Scientists: E-cigarettes boost ‘superbugs’ Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System report data suggesting e-cigarettes are toxic to human airway cells, suppress immune defenses and alter inflammation, while at the same time boosting bacterial virulence. The study on mice was published Jan. 25 in the Journal of Molecular Medicine. “This study shows that e-cigarette vapor is not benign — at high doses it can directly kill lung cells, which is frightening,” said senior author Laura Crotty Alexander, M.D., staff physician at the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System and assistant clinical professor at UCSD School of
Medicine. “We already knew that inhaling heated chemicals, including the e-liquid ingredients nicotine and propylene glycol, couldn’t possibly be good for you. This work confirms that inhalation of e-cigarette vapor daily leads to changes in the inflammatory milieu inside the airways.” Conversely, she said, bacterial pathogens exposed to e-cigarette vapor benefited. Specifically, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were better able to form biofilms, adhere to and invade airway cells and resist human antimicrobial peptides after exposure to e-cigarette vapor.

FROM MAYOR LACAVA, A1 planning group’s role in all parts of their communities. Joe has served on 26 committees and boards, where he has either been appointed by the city or elected by his peers.” LaCava has lived in Bird Rock for 30 years with his wife, Lorene, a kindergarten teacher at Bird Rock Elemetary School and two daughters. Receiving a plaque of recognition, LaCava said to a standing ovation, “I’m glad I dropped out of the other race, because this is so much cooler!” referencing his brief candidacy for San Diego City Council District 1. “If you feel like I deserve this, it’s because I stand on the shoulders of so many other La Jollans. I’ve only been doing this for 10-12 years but it feels like a wonderful lifetime. “When I began (community activism), I came in with a very specific reason. I had no agenda, I just wanted to help people get good things done. I saw a lot of people who were frustrated because they didn’t know how City Hall worked and they didn’t have the right information at their disposal. I made a commitment to myself that I was going to help people so they could advance their ideas based on their merits. “I thank the Town Council for this honor.” Further, he encouraged those in attendance to follow in his footsteps and participate in the community advisory process. “For those who have not stepped up and have been thinking about it, now is a great time. We have a lot we need to do … and we’re only going to get there if we collaborate and work together. City Hall is ready to work with La Jolla, when La Jolla figures out what it wants to do and is in agreement.” Community member Melinda Merryweather thanked LaCava for being a “teacher” and a “leader.” La Jolla Communtiy Planning Association trustee Janie Emerson commented that he taught and mentored so many residents who have moved into other planning areas. “That enriches the community in an exponential way,” she said. Kiwanis Club of La Jolla president-elect Henry Chui said LaCava has “done the community a great service and showed us how to get involved in civics.” LJCPA member Jim Fitzgerald called LaCava “thoughtful,

Merchants Association OKs sea lion barrier La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association unanimously approved the La Jolla Town Council’s Coastal Committee proposal for sea lion barriers, during its Feb. 10 meeting. Aimed at detering the odors and unsafe interactions between sea lions and humans, 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 sea lions use to climb to the upper level – and string rotating, plastic cylinders across them so the animals cannot climb to the larger, flatter area. The cylinders are made to be in oceanic environments and are inflatable so as not to harm the sea lions. They could be painted to match the rocks. “Let’s not let perfect be the enemy of good. Let’s try it, and if it doesn’t work, let’s remove it. It’s not a permanent thing,” said La Jolla Town Council president Steve Haskins.

La Jolla Veterinary Hospital welcomes Carrie Bone, DVM
Carrie Bone, DVM, with a patient
COURTESY
BY STEPHANIE COOLIDGE “We are overjoyed to have such an extraordinary veterinarian as Dr. Carrie Bone join our team!” said La Jolla Veterinary Hospital (LJVH) manager Stephanie Coolidge. “Not only is Dr. Bone a seasoned and talented doctor of veterinary medicine, but she has local ties to both the La Jolla community and specifically, La Jolla Veterinary Hospital. We could not ask for a better addition to our team, really.” Dr. Bone and LJVH owner, Julie Breher, DVM, attended The Bishop’s School together. Dr. Breher was Dr. Bone’s student assistant field hockey coach at Bishop’s and they are having a blast sharing memories with the staff and planning their future in La Jolla. “La Jolla Veterinary Hospital is growing and we are enjoying the success,” Dr. Breher said. “Due to the demand and our extended business hours, we needed another veterinarian and Dr. Bone has found her forever-home here. We could not be happier to have a staff member who loves this community as much as we all do.” After Bishop’s, both Dr. Breher and Dr. Bone went on to graduate from the University of California at Davis with their Doctorates in Veterinary Medicine; Dr. Bone in 2004, and Dr. Breher in 1997. Dr. Bone prides herself on keeping up with the latest theories and techniques in her field and particularly enjoys researching difficult and challenging cases. She said consistent wellness testing and early
detection can help manage disease before pets get sick. She is committed to providing her clients with excellent care and that begins with taking the time to thoroughly discuss all available options and then tailoring a pet’s care to the individual animal. These priorities are shared with all of the doctors and staff at La Jolla Veterinary Hospital and this is one of the many reasons, Dr. Bone says, she is here to stay. “I have found my match. All of the veterinarians here practice very similar medicine and we support one another in a way that increases the level of medical care for our patients. Along with the best veterinary care possible, there is an emphasis on hospitality that is unprecedented.” Dr. Bone shares her home in North County with her husband, daughter, and terrier-mutt named “Larry Bird.” Her time away from work is spent hanging out with her family, enjoying the San Diego waves, and trying to catch as many live music shows as possible. “There is more to me being here than filling a role as an associate veterinarian. This is my forever-home and I want to be a prominent member of this wonderful community. It’s good to back!” ■ La Jolla Veterinary Hospital, 7520 Fay Ave. (858) 454-6155. lajollavet.com The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

trends & events The Herschel: Reimagining La Jolla Office Space
The Herschel – complete with ultra-modern buildouts and plans for a common terrace with panoramic ocean views – has reimagined and redefined what it means to work in La Jolla. The space offered within the building is being snapped up by professionals seeking a calming, streamlined office presence from which to conduct business. Floor-to-ceiling glass lines, operable balconies, 14-foot exposed ceilings and highly visibly building signage opportunities are just a few of the amenities and features of one of the most popular office buildings in Southern California. Tim Olson, Senior Vice President of Jones Lang LaSalle, says demand has been high for The Herschel’s vacant offices. “The property offers high-end creative office space with premium ocean views,” Olson said. “It delivers the ideal combination of open space and private offices.” Perfectly positioned at one of the area’s busiest foot-traffic intersections, The Herschel is cemented into the vibrant, high-street retail corridors of Prospect Street and Girard Avenue. An urban environment with unique outdoor amenity spaces set The Herschel apart from the rest. “There’s nothing like this on the market,” Olson said. “People are blown away when they see it. It legitimizes businesses and excites their customers too.” The Herschel – a 36,565-square-foot project – is also situated less than a quarter mile from the Pacific Ocean at La Jolla Cove and approximately 13 miles from downtown San Diego. It offers walking-distance proximity to abundant restaurants, shopping, exercise and other retail indulgences. For leasing information, call Olson at 858.410.1253 or Jay Alexander at 858.410.1188. Visit www.theherschel.com to see vibrant images of the development and to learn more about the available spaces within the building. Interested professionals are urged to reach out now, as space is limited.

Scott Ashline of Northwestern Mutual
COURTESY
Financial planner Scott Ashline earns top industry award BY MARTI GACIOCH Decades of service as a wealth management advisor for Northwestern Mutual recently earned Scott Ashline, CLU, ChFC, the Financial Security Award for having the No. 1 most balanced practice in the western region of the United States. To be recognized by the industry for this award required Ashline’s financial practice to be well balanced in all facets of insurance, investments and overall planning for all States west of Colorado. Furthermore, Ashline took the No. 2 spot (out of 7,000 financial advisors) for the entire country. Ashline has been one of their top financial planners for almost 25 years, he said with pride. Ashline and Northwestern Mutual have a proven track record in the financial services industry. Northwestern Mutual serves as an umbrella for several different specialties, including overall insurance and investment planning. “The main thing of importance to us is having long-term, ongoing relationships with our clients and their families,” Ashline said. “We spend a lot of time learning about each client’s goals and objectives.” Ashline pointed out that his team members have worked with him for 15-20 years and they’re very close and like-minded. After graduating with a degree in finance and a minor in art history from Boston College, Ashline said he took a year off to
volunteer with the Jesuit International Volunteers in Belize, where he taught finance and accounting. That volunteer spirit continues through his life. “To give back to others, our team is involved in volunteering in the community,” Ashline said. “Once a month, we spend a day working at a charity called the Bridge of Hope, where we distribute food to migrants in San Diego.” (Learn more at bridgeofhopesd.org) Ashline also served as Chairman of the Board of the San Diego Boys and Girls Club, and Nation Chief of the YMCA Indian Princess program for fathers and daughters. “I have been helped by so many people throughout my life, so I truly enjoy helping others,” he said. He recently had an article in Forbes magazine: “Why You Shouldn’t Use Your Retirement Account As A Piggy Bank,” wherein he advises retirees to use caution when considering borrowing from their retirement accounts for short-term needs.

“I used to love going to the Marine Room when they regularly served lunch (now only on select days). I used to sit at the booth where that sea lion was found. That sea lion has good taste!” — Michael Mathos
“I love Spice and Rice. They have Tom Yum and Tom Kha soups that are amazing. Plus, the service is quick and easy and that makes for a great lunch spot.” — Julie White
“That’s easy, Rubios! The food is fresh and simple and we love their salads and tacos. But our favorite is the salsa verde shrimp tacos on corn tortillas.” — Marti and Ron Erickson
“My family and I like Prep Kitchen a lot. They have a rigatoni pasta that my daughter loves.” — Nadia Prudente
“I love Sugar and Scribe. The mushroom quiche is wonderful, but all of their quiches are delicious. I also appreciate the service and that I can eat lunch outdoors. It’s great.” — Roberta Wolff
“Burger Lounge. We like their burgers; it’s just really good food. The Lounge Burger is wonderful; it’s organic high quality meat and just delicious.” — James Madsen
OUR READERS WRITE Sea lion rolling barriers? Really? I mean, really? The iconic bluffs below Brockton Villa, Red Roost and Red Rest cottages are to be drilled, then strung with posts, cables and plastic boat fenders to deter sea lions from landing? Absurd in concept; absurdly lacking in practicality! When I initially read about this proposal, I assumed the wisdom of La Jolla's elders would prevail, and the idea would be quashed. Much to my surprise, some folks seem to be buying in. For those of us who watch those bluffs being washed occasionally by big surf during the winter months, we see natural cleansing occurring, even though the sea lions climb above the surf zone. The smell of environmental health (for that's what it is) diminishes during these months. For those who fret about the smell during the more calm summer months, consider the reality of posts, cables and rollers along those photogenic bluffs versus requiring the few humans impacted adversely by the smell to have more tolerance regarding the presence of the natural world.
Ecotourism is drawing an ever-increasing number of visitors to La Jolla's coastline between Casa Beach (aka Children's Pool) and Devil's Slide due to the presence of our diverse coastal wildlife, reminiscent of pre-human times. How many people in the vicinity of the sea lions actually suffer because of the smell? How many people tolerate the smell to view the rich bird and sea lion life on the bluffs? When I walk the sidewalk above the bluffs in the summer months, I note huge crowds of human visitors admiring the birds and sea lions. Then in the La Jolla Light I read about some restaurant owners and a few Prospect Street merchants complaining about the smell. Is not the public interest best served by allowing our natural coastal world to flourish? Ethics aside, the sea lions are exceptionally smart and agile, and they will not be deterred by blockage of a few landing-access points. (Observe the sea lions using the steep southern side of Goldfish Point.) They will go where they can, and if the bluffs were to be successfully blocked off using unsightly barriers, the Cove's sand beach, already occupied on a daily basis by sea lions, will
only attract more. James Hudnall, raised in La Jolla, La Jolla homeowner Society for Marine Mammalogy, charter member
It’s important to get Las Patronas history correct I want to congratulate La Jolla Light and Las Patronas for an absolutely fabulous article in the Feb. 11 issue. It is such a remarkable organization and the article presents it in a wonderfully well-written format. I did want to clarify one part. The picture on the B section frontpage does not feature the Jewel Ball Committee of 1950. It features some of them. The woman on the far right was the president of Las Patronas in 1950, my mother, Marian Trevor, or as you pointed out so beautifully in the article, Mrs. Walter M. Trevor.

Things your local burglar won’t tell you! GUEST COMMENTARY BY CHRIS COTT Ever-vigilent La Jollan
R
ead all the way to the end. You just might learn something that will save your home from being burglarized. 1. Of course, I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new refrigerator. a) I made friends with your dog while I was there, even gave him a treat. I’ll bring another one with me. No dog is smarter than me. If your dog is unfriendly, and if I think you have plenty of valuables just waiting for me, I just open the door wide enough to throw a net over him — he will do the rest and be rendered immobile, all snarled up in the net, in less than a minute. b) I may not be the one to burgle your home, I just give all the details to a cohort burglar — we work in teams. 2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched the back window to make my return a little easier. 3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste … and taste means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming system they have. 4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to see how long it takes you to remove it. 5. While you’re off in sunny Florida for a few weeks, and my friend in Florida sees your license plate from a western state, he gives me a call to hit your place and clean it out — I get a cut, of course. And, we love it when we find a doctor traveling out of state with an obvious M.D. plate because we know the haul will be good. To foil our plot, consider hiring a responsible mature adult to house sit, if you can. Many will not charge. Be sure to give specific instructions. 6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don’t let your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if it’s set. That makes it too easy. 7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink and the windows on the second floor, which often access the master bedroom and your jewelry. It’s not a bad idea to put motion detectors up there, too. 8. It’s raining, you’re fumbling with your
Chris Cott umbrella, and you forget to lock your door, understandable. But understand this: I don’t take a day off because of bad weather. 9. I always knock first. If you answer, I’ll ask for directions somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don’t take me up on it.) 10. Do you really think I won’t look in your sock drawer? I always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the medicine cabinet. 11. Here’s a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids’ rooms. 12. You’re right: I won’t have enough time to break into that safe where you keep your valuables. But if it’s not bolted down, I’ll take it with me. 13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best alarm system. If you’re reluctant to leave your TV on while you’re out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television. (Find it at faketv.com)
Eight more things a burglar won’t tell you: 1. Sometimes, I carry a clipboard. Sometimes, I dress like a lawn guy and carry a rake. I do my best to never, ever look like a crook. 2. The two things I hate most: loud dogs and nosy neighbors. 3. I’ll break a window to get in, even if it makes a little noise. If your neighbor hears one loud sound, he’ll stop what he’s doing and wait to hear it again. If he doesn’t hear it again, he’ll just go back to what he was doing. It’s human nature. 4. I’m not complaining, but why would you pay all that money for a fancy alarm system and leave your house without setting it?
FROM LETTERS, A22 identify the women. I could identify some, but not others. I made copies and sent it to Ruth Allen’s daughter, Judy Collins, who is pictured, and Emily Hunte’s daughter, Tisha Swortwood. They identified a couple of others and I believe finally someone filled in all the rest. (For example, Claire Tavares is not in the picture and Beverly Lambert is. The correct identifications should be somewhere. It doesn’t matter for the article, as the names where not represented as identifying the people above, but for the record, and especially the history book, it is important.) I was an only child and so have many old photos from early Las Patronas days. I was also an active member from
5. I love looking in your windows. I’m looking for signs that you’re home, and for flatscreen TVs or gaming systems I’d like. I’ll drive or walk through your neighborhood at night, before you close the blinds, just to pick my targets. 6. Avoid announcing your vacation on your Facebook page. It’s easier than you think to look up your address. Parents: caution your kids about this. You see this every day. 7. To you, leaving that window open just a crack during the day is a way to let in a little fresh air. To me, it’s an invitation. 8. If you don’t answer when I knock, I try the door. Occasionally, I hit the jackpot and walk right in.

Protection for yourself and your home: ■ Wasp spray. If you don’t have a gun, it’s a more humane way to wreck someone’s evil plans for you. A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high-risk area said she was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the Sunday collection. She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to 20 feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with pepper spray, an assailant must get too close to you and could overpower

Owners of Italian cars will gather in the Shores, Saturday The second “Italian Cars & Coffee in La Jolla Shores” will take place 7-9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 in the parking lot of
you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until he or she gets to the hospital for an antidote. ■ Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip comes from a Neighborhood Watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It’s a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won’t stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won’t want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can’t reach a phone. My mom has suggested to my dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn’t hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she’ll know there’s a problem. Please share my message with all the people in your life.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Man hit by truck as he crosses La Jolla Blvd. A 69-year-old man was struck and severely injured by a pickup truck while attempting to cross a La Jolla roadway Thursday morning, Feb. 11. The pedestrian was in a crosswalk on La Jolla Boulevard near Westbourne Street (in front of the 7-11 convenience store) when he was hit by a southbound 1997 Ford Ranger shortly after 7:30 a.m., said San Diego police Officer Frank Cali. The 22-year-old driver stopped after the crash and was not suspected of drunken driving. — City News Service
Man bitten by off-leash dog at Marine Street beach A man visiting from Temecula suffered a severe bite to his hand from an off-leash dog during an altercation between two dogs at Marine Street beach, Feb. 6. After spending the day on the beach with his wife and three children, Donald Graver said he was preparing to leave when he heard screaming and a commotion in the distance. Running over to see if he could assist, he witnessed a pit bull and a golden retriever in the midst of a fight; the pit bull off-leash and perceived as the aggressor. Graver attempted to distance the two dogs when his left finger was bitten “clean
through,” he said. “Everyone was trying to separate the dogs. At one point the pit bull twisted around and I tried to get the golden retriever out of the way and my hand was in the line of fire and I got bit,” Graver said, adding that he spent the next 8.5 hours in the emergency room. “The owner had his hand on what I would call a makeshift collar because it was not a normal collar with tags, and all he was doing to help was saying, in a monotone and somewhat nonchalant voice, ‘let go, let go.’ But the owner didn’t say anything to me or the other dog’s owner afterward. He just left,” Graver said. Lifeguard Lt. Rich Stropky said off-leash dogs in fights is not uncommon. “People think it’s not a big deal to have their dogs off-leash, but loose dogs can end up getting in fights and biting people,” he told La Jolla Light. “People must learn to comply with the law and keep their dogs on leash and (walk them) where dogs are permitted.” — Ashley Mackin

Team Mentality
La Jolla High’s girls water polo ready for CIF
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Heading into CIF championships this month, La Jolla High School’s Lady Vikings water polo team is ready to use the strengths they have built this year to take them to victory. Closing the regular season 23-4, the team came out of the gate strong, but gave themselves room to improve. “We started off the season with two out-of-town tournaments, and won both. We continued to play strong through the beginning of season and won our first 12 games — the longest winning streak in La Jolla High School water polo history,” said coach Keller Felt, a La Jolla High School graduate (Class of 2007). “More recently, we had great wins over Bishop’s and Carlsbad, both teams we lost to earlier in the season. These two wins were huge because the girls were able to see how much they’ve grown; we made the appropriate adjustments in our game and it paid off.” Felt added, “What is so amazing about this team is their ability to maintain a competitive edge while constantly supporting each other through all the ups and downs a season can have. I have been so impressed by these girls because they always work as a team. No one player is more important than the next. While there are only seven girls in the water during the game, every player has a role on our team.” Contributing to that supportive team

Atwell, Nicole Bertrand and Summer Broekema. “They have all been amazing leaders and role models for their
teammates,” Felt said. Agreeing, junior Sydney Boland said, “We’re all really close this year, which helps us when we’re running plays in the pool because we all know how we like to catch and throw the ball and where we want the ball to go.” Added senior Bruno, who has been on the varsity team for all four high school years, said, “We’re one big family this year and all on the same page during every game. Since we all have the same goal in mind, we all look out for each other to reach that goal. There is no selfishness on the team.” Citing her experience over the last few years, she said a season highlight was beating The Bishop’s School. “The last time we beat Bishop’s was my freshmen year, so it’s been a while,” she joked. But the victories along the way have not clouded their minds for the series of tournaments ahead of them at CIF. Junior Ciara Franke said going into the upcoming games, “Our dedication to the sport and trying our hardest gives us strength. We’ve worked on our defense this season and we’re going to maintain that to stop the other teams. That approach has worked well for us in the past, so we are going to continue that in the future.” Bruno added, “We all work hard and don’t give up easy; we’re taking that to CIF. We’re going to work hard, play hard and win.”

SECTION B 10 QUESTIONS
What links Kiwanis and nuclear power? Why it’s Henry Chiu!
H
enry K. Chiu is a native of Hong Kong. He grew up in Chicago and earned his Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana in 1991. He has more than 25 years of experience in scientific research. Chiu’s portfolio spans the design of compact space-based nuclear systems to radiation shielding vaults for free electron lasers, to neutral beam physics for fusion experiments. He served as chairman of the San Diego Section of the American Nuclear Henry Chiu, Ph.D. Society from 1999 to 2011. He is currently the president of the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla. Chiu operates the La Jolla Professional Building through his holding company Archipelago Strategic Management, Inc. He is the principal partner of Integral Engineering and Research Associates, an engineering facilitator that specializes in radiation physics modeling, high performance computing systems design and installation, and helping innovators to turn their ideas into prototypes. What brought you to La Jolla? I came here for a job interview at General Atomics in the second week of October 1991. I moved out from Chicago and started a long, strange journey four weeks later. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? I would alleviate and rationalize the traffic chokepoint at the Torrey Pines/S-52 junction, and modify S-52 to allow access from southbound I-5. Who or what inspires you? I’m in awe of people who have the strength of conviction to reach outside of themselves to help others without expectation of gain or acclaim. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? On my list would be: Hans Bethe, James Earl Carter, Lady Gaga, Jean Paul Sartre, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Neil Young, Madame Soong and Elon Musk.

Maura Walters and Erika Torri in n front of a timeline of Athenaeum history
Athenaeum opens new Art Center in Logan Heights BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT he Athenaeum Music & Arts Library has been a landmark on the corner of Wall Street and Girard Avenue for the past 116 years. It began as a general membership library in 1899, became a specialized art and music library in 1957, and gradually turned into a wide-ranging cultural center, with frequently changing exhibitions, several series of jazz and classical music concerts, a renowned collection of artists' books, and, since 1986, a school of the arts. For 15 years,the library maintained an adjunct studio on Park Boulevard, but last year, when that building was sold, it moved with its former landlord, architect Jim Brown, to a 40,000 square-foot location in Logan Heights — an abandoned bread factory renamed Bread & Salt — that aspired to be a center for the arts. The Athenaeum took over three high-ceilinged, bleak-looking rooms in the place and started making plans. On Feb. 6, after almost a year of renovations, the Athenaeum held a three-part Grand Opening of its new Art Center, with hundreds of guests coming to experience the now-welcoming space — all 6,000 square feet of it. The day included a breakfast for the donors who helped make it possible, an afternoon Open House to show off the three spacious studios — one for classes, one for printmaking, and one for exhibits and concerts — and an evening Carnavale with tacos, tequila, and the party-time sounds of the Euphoria Brass Band. “We plan to become very integrated into the neighborhood, with art and music programs for children and adults, and we’re hoping for a lively, creative and successful future here,” said Erika Torri, executive director of the Athenaeum since 1989, who has presided over their years of greatest expansion. “This is an important new addition for us and for the San Diego cultural environment.”

Lexophilia
R
La Jolla Cultural Partners
ecently I was diagnosed with lexophilia. Fortunately, it doesn’t require blood transfusions and it’s not terminal, although that depends on whom you ask. While I didn’t know the term before, it turns out I’ve always been a lexophile, a lover of words. This is good because I really can’t do Sudoku puzzles to save my life. Lots of people collect things. I collect words. I keep a file on my computer desktop so that whenever I see a new word, or one that is just fun to say, I can easily add it. Hey, c’mon. Some people collect teapots. Collecting words is probably the least expensive hobby in America. And unlike most collections, the kids won’t be stuck trying to sell it on eBay after I’m dead. (Actually, I wouldn’t mind being buried with it. Death seems like it could have a lot of down time.) I frequently consult this list, broken down into general-ish categories, when I’m writing. People might roll their eyes and say, “Um, that’s what the Internet is for.” But you’d be wrong. My list includes plenty of words that don’t come up in synonym lists or online dictionaries. The New York Times puzzle is a particularly good source of great words never actually used in the English language except in crosswords. Like most people with collections, I like to
take mine out from time to time and play with it. Right before Christmas, I printed out my list, which came to 62 pages. Then I savored it over several hours. I find that word savoring goes even better with a glass of Chardonnay. Here are a few of my favorites: Paraprosdokian: refers to a figure of speech that contains a surprising or unexpected ending i.e. the famous Groucho Marx phrase, “I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening but this wasn’t it.” Cruciverbalist: crossword puzzle enthusiast. They are often lexophiles, as well. Unctuous: excessively or ingratiatingly flattering; oily. Infrangible: unbreakable; inviolable. Puissance: strength, power. It’s just so much fun to say (pwee-sance). I wish I had the puissance to not eat a whole box of chocolate mint Girl Scout cookies in one sitting. Crepuscular: used to describe animals that are primarily active during twilight (i.e. dawn and dusk). Not easy to work this one into cocktail party conversation although I’ve certainly tried. Hinky: (of a person) dishonest or suspect. “He knew the guy was hinky.” Gallimaufry: a confused jumble or medley of things. Ululate: howl or wail as an expression of
INGA
I find word savoring goes even better with a glass of Chardonnay. strong emotion, typically grief. (Not to be confused with ovulate, a totally different but often equally emotional event.) Pettifog: 1) quibble about petty points, 2) to argue trickily. Senectitude: old age; elderliness. When your Medicare card arrives in the mail, you are officially part of the senectitude set. Ultracrepidate: to go beyond one’s scope or province, especially to criticize beyond one’s sphere of knowledge. Ultracrepidaters are out in force on the comment sections of internet sites. Hebdomadally: by the week; in periods of seven days. (This must be the meaning behind Charlie Hebdo.) Nostrum: ineffective remedy; a remedy for a social, political, or economic problem, especially an idea or plan that is often suggested but never proved to be successful. Homunculus: no, not a pretty spring flower. A very small human or humanoid creature. Absquatulate: flee, run away, decamp. Phlogiston: (chemistry/alchemy origins) Literally: A mythical substance thought to be

Wicked humor. Blunt Cynicism.”

given off by fire during burning. Usage: It is that mysterious, invisible substance that no one has ever seen and never will. It is something widely and wholeheartedly believed to exist, but doesn’t. Commonly seen during presidential elections. Ineluctable: unable to be resisted or avoided; inescapable. The ineluctable lure of mint chocolate chip ice cream on top of sour cream fudge cake. Cupidity: nope, nothing to do with little guys shooting arrows on Valentine’s day. Greed for money or possessions. Bloviate: talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way. Rant pompously. Susurration: whispering (as in susurration of the wind and rain in the trees). Bonus: A great example of onomatopoeia (i.e. it sounds like what it means). Infra dig: (two words, short for infra dignitatem) beneath one’s dignity or unbecoming to one’s position. You hear this one much more on the East Coast where Latin is still allegedly studied. Stertorous: (of breathing) noisy and labored. Natural state of bulldog pulmonology. Sesquipedalian: (of a word) polysyllabic. Characterized by long words; long-winded. Sometimes it’s fun to see how many you can get into a sentence (or two) as in: The ultimate ultracrepidater, Donald Trump bloviates sesquipedaliannostrums reminiscent of the phlogiston ignoring the ineluctable facts of history. Every unctuous word sounds like pettifog and gallimaufry. If he is elected, I plan to absquatulate. See?

COURTESY
Reception for dual Goodell exhibit is Friday night, Feb. 19
Artist’s work will be shown at Wisteria Cottage from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
BY LINDA HUTCHISON The La Jolla Historical Society in tandem with the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will host an opening reception for their joint-exhibit, “William Newport Goodell: painter, craftsman, teacher,” 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19 at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. 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 the two venues. The Historical Society’s part of the exhibit at Wisteria Cottage will showcase Goodell’s self-portraits, family portraits and still life paintings, as well as his craftwork. A wood and metalworker, he made many of his own wood frames and items such as goblets. The exhibit will also include biographical information and photographs. The Athenaeum exhibit venue, opening Feb. 20, will feature Goodell’s landscapes, seascapes and World War II service work. Historical Society Executive Director Heath Fox said 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.
Tosca takes us to the brink with politics, police brutality, betrayal, jealousy and murder. Puccini’s passionate arias and sensuous melodies perfectly accompany raw emotion and drama.

True or False?
The first La Jolla Community Plan was adopted by San Diego City Council in 1967. True. The plan proposed broad goals and guidelines for development and set the framework for the precise plans of La Jolla Shores and the Fay Avenue Extension. The 1967 plan also sought solutions to the vehicular congestion that occurred on La Jolla's major streets by recommending the construction of new streets into the community (including
Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Shores Drive) and development of new parking spaces. The results of these recommendations adversely affected the level of noise pollution, air quality and pedestrian safety. In order to address these issues, the 1967 community plan was updated and adopted by the San Diego City Council in 1976. It has been revised several times since.

Let’s Review BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT
Art of Élan brings sounds of music to Lux Art Institute
A
PHOTOS BY MAURICE HEWITT
Art of Élan violinist/co-founder Kate Hatmaker with her husband, cellist Alex Greenbaum and 10-week-old Max.
Artist Sophia Narrett with one of her embroidered pieces and Lux Art Institute director Reesey Shaw of La Jolla
rt of Élan, a chamber music group known for presenting unusual concerts in intimate settings, gave a delightful performance at Lux Art Institute in Encinitas Feb. 3. In connection with Lux’s current artist-in-residence, Sophia Narrett, the theme of the evening was “Honest Fantasy," a term Narret has used to describe her creative process. The music included works by Shostakovich, Mazzoli and Muhly. Although Shostakovich may be a familiar name to concertgoers, the others were not. Art of Élan’s greatest gift is introducing audiences to intriguing music they might otherwise never get to hear, by young composers now spreading their wings and their sounds worldwide. Missy Mazzoli has been hailed as “Brooklyn’s post-millennial Mozart” and Nico Muhly is also a New Yorker, whose works include operas, ballet scores and sacred choral music. Before the concert, I spoke with
Kate Hatmaker, San Diego Symphony violinist and co-founder/executive director of Art of Élan. A charming, articulate woman, she has been a featured soloist with orchestras around the country and is a passionate advocate for innovation in the arts. We talked about the Lux program, which she said was inspired by Narrett’s art. “Her work is so interesting,” Hatmaker said. “She dives into the world of imagination, reflects on our collective societal fantasy, and she does everything with thread! All those TV reality shows —what is reality? Does life reflect art or the other way around? Valid questions, and she literally weaves them into her work. So we wanted to explore these topics with our music, too.” The concert opened with Muhly’s “Honest Music,” where violinist Anna Skálová interacted with a pre-recorded audio collage. Then came Mazzoli’s vibrant “Lies you can believe in,” a trio performed by Skálová, violist Travis
Maril and cellist Alex Greenbaum. (Greenbaum, incidentally, is married to Hatmaker: their greatest production last year was 10-week-old Max, who, with his babysitter, enjoyed the music from outside the gallery.) Next on the program was a Haydn-influenced string quartet, “Entr’acte,” by yet another New Yorker, Carolyn Shaw, and then “Zoom Tube,” an exuberant little flute piece that Hatmaker called “our sorbet course.” Composed by Ian Clarke, a boundary-pushing Brit, it was performed by Erica Peel, San Diego Symphony’s newest piccolo player. The hour-long program ended brilliantly with Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 1, which Hatmaker called a powerful, compact piece that no one knows or performs. “I’ve never heard it done,” she said. “For all I know, it’s the San Diego premiere.” Afterward, she added: “This is what we like to do, provide a powerful, compact experience for

people without taking up their whole evening. We give audiences an hour of music, with enough contrast between each piece that they don’t need a break. We don’t expect everyone to like everything we do, but we vary the sound world enough so your ears stay fresh and open.” At the pre-concert reception, guests had a chance to admire Narrett’s eye-popping embroidered paintings. During her residency, she’s been creating a new thread-fantasy piece that was not yet ready for display. Born in Concord, Mass., she, too, lives in Brooklyn; she left Lux Feb. 16, but her work will remain on view through March 12.

hat happens when a man so intent on performing his job to every extent expected of him, encounters a partner who is mindless of those intentions? That’s what unfolds in La Jolla Playhouse’s production “Guards At The Taj,” directed by Playhouse Associate Artistic Director Jaime Castañeda. The Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is a stunning, white-marble mausoleum commissioned in 1632 by Mughul Emperor Shah Jahan on the southern bank of the Yamuna River near Agra, India, for the remains of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Pulitzer Prize finalist, playwright Rajiv Joseph (“Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo”), choose the Taj Mahal as the setting for his unique and absurd story. Humayun (Manu Narayan) finds himself in charge of guarding the construction of the Taj Mahal the night before it’s unveiled to the public. A guard of this position has an extreme list of do’s and don’ts to follow, and a violation of even one of these could result in his death. The drama opens with Humayun standing motionless, sword over his shoulder, alarmed when even a bird chirps. Humayun is not the only guard this night. His partner and buddy is Babur (Babak Tafti), who causes Humayun instant dread when he shows up late. Luckily, no one else is around to notice. Then Babak begins a stream of purpose-less dialogue and Humayun is consumed with worry over what
might happen if his friend doesn’t stop talking. He demands Babak shut up or they will be killed. Their instructions are so stringent, they are not even allowed to turn around and look at the building. However, this is not the worst that will happen this night. The pair is assigned a task so gruesome, it will challenge their sanity and ability to complete it. Because Humayun has pledged his allegiance to the Emperor, while Babur wants to defy the Emperor and revolt against that system of government, their friendship is also in jeopardy. Castañeda acknowledged that the Playhouse had challenges staging and creating a world that is flexible and both contemporary and historical. Patrons know the Playhouse designers usually surprise them. The stage, beginning as void of anything but a wall and the two actors, will at one point (after a short lights-out), surprise the audience with the revelation of the two men now maybe beyond survival. Narayan and Tafti were perfectly cast. They accomplish the stillness, seriousness and, ultimately, the terror and anxiety, they need to reveal this inimitable story. ■ IF YOU GO: “Guards at the Taj” runs through Feb. 28 in the Potiker Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, on UC San Diego campus.

ore than 250 Comfort Cub therapeutic teddy bears were donated to social workers representing every San Diego hospital during “Help Heal a Broken Heart Day” at SHARP Mary Birch Hospital on Feb. 9. Marcella Johnson and her business partner, Susan Heck, delivered cartons of the weighted bears “to make sure that no woman who ever loses a child in San Diego leaves the hospital broken-hearted and empty handed,” Johnson explained. She said after she lost her son, George, in 1999, her heart ached and she craved the feeling of wanting to hold her child. She

learned through research that many grieving mothers experienced similar perinatal bereavement symptoms including depression, aching arms and stress-induced cardiomyopathy dubbed the “broken heart syndrome.” Johnson recognized her symptoms subsided when she held onto a weighted object, and the Comfort Cub was created. San Diego social workers will have Comfort Cubs on hand for any mother grieving the loss of a child, no matter the child’s age. Since 1999, more than 7,000 Comfort Cubs have found arms to hold them.

Material Choices: When Building a Home When building a home, there are many choices to be made, from selecting your builder and architectural team to deciding what style of home you want. Once you have all this behind you, your project is in gear and you realize your choices have only just begun. Researching and selecting materials are an important part of building a home.
Material choices, whether compiled by your architect, designer or yourself, are crucial to a successful project.
specifying materials, there are a myriad of products and costs to be considered. So how do you choose?
Building materials can be divided into categories. Working from the outside in, primary materials such as roofing, gutters, windows, doors, and exterior siding are all subject to choices that will define the overall look, quality and function of your home. Establishing the integrity of the home is the intent behind these choices. Simply put, when selecting these primary materials, functionality, longevity and durability are the ruling characteristics. The style of your home has already been defined and cost allowances have been established, but when you get down to
Cost may or may not be your primary concern, but it is still an important factor. Where do you cut corners? Our practice at GDC Construction is NOT to cut corners when selecting these primary materials. Quality products that button up the home and will stand the test of time are a priority. Interior components including flooring, walls, and counter tops include a vast assortment of materials such as tile, stone, wood, metal, and composites. Architectural trim, cabinetry, hardware, fixtures and appliances are integral to the quality and style of the home but are not critical to the integrity of the structure.
Interior materials do however reflect your choices more overtly, and they visibly define your relationship to your home. This personal selection process makes for huge quality and cost fluctuations and should be carefully considered in the initial budgeting phase of your project. In our next column, we will talk about the criteria for selecting interior materials, sources for finding top quality materials at the best price, and purchasing practices, which will enhance the value of your property. For any questions or comments regarding your new build or any construction project, please contact us at www.gdcconstruction. com, or come see us at GDC Construction, 1031 Silverado Street, La Jolla, CA 92037 858-551-5222.

Allison Minick, David McBean and Kern McFadden in ‘Now You See It,’ at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach.
‘Now You See It’: A farce on foibles of love BY DIANA SAENGER This seems to be the season for farces with several playing around town. The North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) has staged its share, and is in rehearsal for another one, the U.S. premiere of “Now You See It,” directed by Bruce Turk. Written by French farce favorite Georges Feydeau (1862-1921) and translated by British playwright Kenneth McLeish, the story promises audiences a jealousy-fueled evening involving a philandering husband, a spurned lover and a scandalous discovery. Allison Minick (“Being Seen,” “Macbeth,” “Oklahoma”) said she’s thrilled to take on the only female role. “I love the play,” Minick said. “I read the script before auditioning and it was so funny and poignant. I heard great things about the North Coast Rep and director Bruce Turk. I love San Diego as I have family there I often visit.” Minick said she finds her character Marie-Louise fun to play, but also challenging. “She suspects her husband is having an affair because she discovered her previous husband had affairs and escapades with several women,” Minick said. “She’s convinced that all men have that inkling in their blood, but MarieLouise learns to navigate in a world where men have the power to take charge. She knows she doesn’t have as many rights, but she’s strong and experiences a huge amount of growth throughout the play as she fights for her power. “It’s a rich role because she’s stuck in a society where she’s pushing against the confines in restraints that her husband and society put on her.” After getting acquainted with each other, Minick and the four male actors
COURTESY
— John Greenleaf, David McBean, Kern McFadden and Ruff Yeager — are now in rehearsal, learning their lines, some songs and changes that Turk might make. “It’s very exciting that Bruce has created a way for us to go deep and discover what drives our characters in their transformations,” Minick said. “All the characters are funny in their own way, and succinct, smart and dealing with all the shenanigans that are happening. At times, it’s like a drama to make sure the characters are rooted in a real situation, and play the role even bigger. It took a lot of dramaturgical work to figure out our backstories and to work on a piece with no preconceived notions. We are all so passionate about this extremely funny play with crazy characters. We know the audience will really enjoy it.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Now You See It,” runs Feb. 27-March 20 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $39.

Plays explore different sides of Black American Experience BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT February is Black History Month, though some may agree with Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman, who famously said, “I don’t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.” So it is, but as recent headlines keep reminding us, being a black American can make for a very distinctive history. This month, two plays offer close looks at some of the challenges that come with being black in this country. One is set in a rough neighborhood in Brooklyn, the other in the rarefied art world of Philadelphia. And both were inspired by true stories.
If You Go ■ “Brownsville Song (B-Side for Tray)” • When: 7 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday through Feb. 28 • Where: Moxie Theatre, 6663 El Cajon Blvd., Suite N, • Tickets: (858) 598-7620, moxietheatre.com ■ “Permanent Collection” • When: 7 p.m. Feb. 23 and 27
‘Tears and Laughter’ at Moxie
Moxie Theatre’s “Brownsville Song (B-Side for Tray),” about the family of a young black man killed on a Brooklyn street, is the work of a Brooklyn-based, Korean-American playwright, a woman who, like the title character, Tray, is also a boxer. The cast includes director Delicia Turner Sonnenberg’s 13-year-old daughter, Zoë, playing 18-year-old Tray’s little sister — particularly poignant since Zoë herself has a brother about that age. Several years ago, writer Kimber Lee heard about the senseless death of an aspiring boxer who trained in the same Brooklyn gym as she did. The play she came up with shows the remaining members of an already-broken family fighting their way back from tragedy, while flashbacks to happier times let us see just how much has been lost. The head of the family is Grandma Lena, and Silvia M’Lafi Thompson is a powerhouse as the tough-but-tender grandma. As Tray, Cortez L. Johnson gives one of the strongest performances seen here in a long time. He’s got the charm, the heart, the moves, the humor, and finally the resolve of the character so down that you feel your own grief at his loss. Zoë shines as the bereft little sister, Alex Robinson is thoroughly believable as Tray’s homie and Jyl Kaneshiro gives quiet determination to the Korean-American mom who took off years ago and is back for a second chance. “The real struggle is what happens after the news story,” said Sonnenberg, who directed a staged reading of “Brownsville Song” at The Old Globe Theatre last year. “What’s most compelling about this play is the fact that it advocates forgiveness, rather

Cortez L. Johnson and Zoë Sonnenberg as Tray and his sister in ‘Brownsville Song (B-Side for Tray),’ onstage at Moxie Theatre through Feb. 28. than destruction.” And the title? As some still remember, the B-side of a single record was the song less known and listened to. Kimber Lee takes what could be just another news story and gets us to pay attention to the telling details of the promising life that was too soon snuffed out. Her language is poetic, authentic-sounding street talk; if you have a problem with four-letter words, get over it, or you’ll miss a great theater experience. There are lots of four-letter words in “Brownsville Song,” but the main one is LOVE.
Artful Reading at Riford Library
Meanwhile, at the La Jolla Library, the new La Jolla Theatre Ensemble, helmed by John Tessmer, is presenting a staged reading of Thomas Gibbons’ “Permanent Collection.” The black man at the center of this play is the new director of a renowned art museum whose collection includes several African pieces. As he drives to work in his Jaguar, he’s stopped by a police officer, who figures the car must be stolen. So his first problem is DWB (Driving While Black) and his second is wanting to make changes in a
tradition-bound institution. The story is an imaginative take on what happened in the 1990s when Philadelphia’s prestigious Barnes Foundation hired an African-American director. Like “Uncanny Valley,” a fascinating piece about human-android interaction by the Philadelphia-based playwright that San Diego REP presented last year, “Permanent Collection” should leave you with plenty to think about. After seeing it in Los Angeles in 2006, one reviewer wrote: “This is the kind of play that makes you love going to see plays.” In the Riford reading, Walter Walter Murray plays Murray plays the museum director a museum director and John Tessmer in ‘Permanent his main adversary Collection’ at the — the same roles Riford Library Feb. they had eight years 23 and 27. ago in a Mo’olelo Theatre production. They both said they loved the play, and thought it was high time to show it again. Since Feb. 22-28 is San Diego Theater Week, why not put some play in your life? The library reading is free, and there are special Moxie discounts online.
San Diego Symphony to host ‘scientific’ concert, Feb. 20 Gilbert Castellanos will perform during the concert opening.
FROM SDS REPORTS San Diego Symphony will host a multimedia presentation titled, “Music in Mind,” that includes the musicians performing Beethoven’s “Sensual Pastoral,” along with a discussion by Dr. Charles Limb and Nina Kraus, Ph.D., exploring how music provides a window to the human brain, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 at Symphony Hall, 750 B Street in downtown San Diego. Many conference attendees from the Association for Research in Otolaryngology are expected to attend the show. Limb is Professor of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and the Chief of the Division

He is also the director of the Douglas Grant Cochlear Implant Center at UCSF and holds a joint appointment in the department of neurosurgery. Kraus is a scientist, inventor and amateur musician who studies the biology of auditory learning.

DID YOU KNOW...? The word millionaire was first used by Benjamin Disraeli in his 1826 novel Vivian Grey.
crossword COURTESY OF MUSEUM OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS
‘Tigray (Ethiopia),’ 1985, by Sebastião Salgado. Gelatin silver print on paper. Gift of Beverly and Jack Waltman.
Sebastião Salgado
Photographer to present 2016 Axline Lecture FROM MUSEUM REPORTS The San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) in Balboa Park will present internationally renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado as featured speaker for the 16th annual Axline Lecture, 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25 in the museum’s auditorium. SDMA will also have a selection of works by Salgado, from its permanent collection and from the collections of Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Museum of Photographic Arts, on view Feb. 20-May 17. The Brazilian-born artist’s black-and-white photographs are among the most influential images of modern time, capturing the grim
realities of industrialization in developing countries, the toll of warfare and the degradation of the natural environment. Salgado is known for working on long-term projects featuring large collections each with hundreds of images from around the world. His quest to capture nature in its unspoiled original state culminated in 2013 with the publication of “Genesis,” a portfolio of 200 black-and-white photographs. The artist and his work are the focus of the Oscar-nominated 2014 documentary, “The Salt of the Earth,” directed by German filmmaker Wim Wenders and the artist’s son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado. SDMA will host a
screening of the film 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19 in its auditorium. Tickets can be purchased at SDMArt.org and include entrance to the exhibition. Since 2000, SDMA and MCASD have partnered to present the annual Axline Lecture in honor of Jackie and Rea Axline, longtime trustees of both museums. Hosted in alternate years by each museum, it offers an opportunity to say thank you to supporters. A limited number of lecture tickets are available for $5-$10. ■ IF YOU GO: The San Diego Museum of Art is at 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park, downtown San Diego. (619) 232-7931. sdmart.org
