■ Resident questions project’s impacts BY PAT SHERMAN The City of San Diego’s Park and Recreation department wants to stop lead and other toxins detected in the soil at a former La Jolla
trash dump from leaching out when it rains. Last week the city issued a final mitigated negative declaration (MND) on the project (No. 296100), the third such environmental report on the proposed job since an initial MND was circulated for public review May 7-28, 2013.
The project site, located directly north of land used by the La Jolla Canyon Clay Products Company from the 1930s to 1950s, and southwest of the Pottery Canyon Natural Park trail, was used as a dump by La Jollans between the 1890s and 1930s. According to Jeffrey Szymanski,
a senior planner with the city’s Development Services Department, La Jollans would burn trash from their homes, then dump it at the site. “Back then they didn’t have a landfill, so people would just go and dump their trash where they

BY PAT SHERMAN Like a gift that keeps on giving — one layer at a time — the La Jolla Historical Society’s (LJHS) recently completed renovation of Wisteria Cottage (where its exhibits are held) revealed some interesting things about the 1904 Craftsman-style cottage and its previous inhabitants.
During a recent visit to the campus at Eads Avenue and Prospect Street, LJHS Executive Director Heath Fox noted that about 40 paint samples were taken from exterior walls, trims and the roof, and then sent to Virginia-based art conservator Susan Buck for microscopic

FROM POTTERY CANYON, AA1 could,” he said, noting that metal and glass in the burned garbage eventually breaks down, releasing hazardous materials. Szymanski, who is also trained as an archaeologist, said most artifacts found during trench testing conducted at the site — including old medicine bottles, metal scraps, china-ware and household goods —appeared to be La Jollans’ old household refuse, and not ceramic artifacts that could be tied to the once adjacent business started in 1928 by accomplished potter Cornelio Rodriguez (of Jalisco, Mexico) and his two brothers. According to last week’s MND, “The research concluded that the dump site could be historically significant because it is one of the last dump sites in La Jolla and could yield important information regarding the historic period in La Jolla.” In accordance with the city’s historical resources guidelines, as mitigation for the job, the city could have either chosen to use an archaeological data recovery program or cap the site with fill (as it did). Soil testing conducted in 2009 determined that lead concentrations in several surface and subsurface soil samples were at hazardous levels. In addition, other metals present in lesser quantities in the samples, including antimony, arsenic and cadmium, were at levels exceeding California Human Healthbased Screening Levels for residential property use. As part of the approximately eight-week job — intended to bring the site into compliance with minimum solid waste standards contained in the California Code of Regulations — the city would place a cap of approximately 1,000 cubic

Air quality monitors would be present during all work disturbing the soil, including minor grading and excavation, as well as an archaeologist and Native American representative to assure any potential resources or remains are handled properly, the city says. James Royle, chair of the San Diego County Archaeological Society’s Environmental Review Committee, said that in a version of the MND released earlier this year the society found minor technical ambiguities, such as the depth of trenching tests in relation to old trash deposits, which were all addressed in last week’s final MND. However, in a March 10 letter to

Szymanski, Don Schmidt of the La Jolla Historical Society’s Preservation Committee posed several questions regarding the project. Schmidt expressed concern that the estimated 65 truck trips the project would require to deliver soil would impact traffic in the area and potentially stress or harm trees in the park. Szymanski said the project would not require removal of trees and a biological evaluation did not identify impacts to trees. In response to a question Schmidt raised about who will retain any artifacts uncovered during the work, Szymanski said disturbance of the dump site would be minimal and “collection of artifacts is unlikely.” “If artifacts are discovered they would become property of the City of San Diego (Park and Recreation Department). The city will contact the La Jolla Historical Society to begin a discussion regarding the curation of any significant artifacts, if
found,” he responded. The city designated a portion of Pottery Canyon as a local historic landmark in 1976. According to Kelley Stanco, a Historical Resources Board senior planner, the designation includes a portion of private property immediately to the south of the project site, where one of the Rodriguez brothers’ kilns still sits, though not the project site or hiking trail. Several buildings related to the Rodriquez brothers business that were part of the designation are no longer standing. At Schmidt’s request, a Park and Recreation Department employee will offer a presentation on the project during the La Jolla Community Planning Association’s monthly meeting, 6 p.m. tonight, Thursday, May 1, at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. ◆ — La Jolla Light will report on the presentation in the May 8 edition.
TARNISHING OUR JEWEL: DEAD PALMS AND PAINT RUNOFF ■ Frond hazard Late last month, a business owner on Girard Avenue called to report palm fronds that had been littering two public areas along Girard Avenue since the winter storms. The man said he reported the offense to the city, but the problem had not been addressed. La Jolla Light contacted the office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner on April 23 and city workers removed the fronds the next morning. Thank you Lightner and staff for helping to polish our jewel. To report fallen limbs or fronds from trees in the public rightof-way, potholes or other problems for the city to fix, phone Lightner’s office at (619) 236-6611.
■ Paint in street On April 15, contractors painting a house at 7422 Fay Ave. were observed cleaning their brushes in the driveway, causing a stream of paint to flow into the gutter and down Fay Avenue to Pearl Street (where it may have entered the storm drain). After being contacted by a neighbor, the city opened a case and a code enforcement officer visited the home and spoke with
contractors the following day. “They did get a citation,” said Storm Water Department head Bill Harris. “They were very apologetic, but at the same time they were given the notice of violation.” A representative with the city’s code compliance office said that on April 25 a notice of violation was mailed to a plumbing contractor doing work at the site and another individual. Contractors, site supervisors and property owners are liable for failing to prevent illegal discharges into the storm drain system, which can result in penalties of up to $1,000 per incidence, or $10,000 per day for severe violations, plus cleanup reimbursement costs. —To report pollution in a storm drain, call the city’s Think Blue Hotline at (619) 235-1000. ◆ ■ Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators.

FROM WISTERIA COTTAGE, AA1 analysis, allowing the LJHS and its architect, Ione Stiegler (of La Jolla-based IS Architecture), to replicate the original color of Wisteria Cottage (“Essex Green” with “French Canvas” trim) and the adjacent Balmer Annex (“Rockwood Sash Green” with “Muslin” trim). “It turns out there were nine layers of paint on Wisteria and four layers of paint on Balmer,” Fox said. “We restored Wisteria to the period of significance when Virginia Scripps owned it and Irving Gill remodeled it (1907) and Balmer Annex to the late 1940s when it was built as a classroom for what at the time was the Balmer School.” By accessing the attic, it was determined that the original roof was comprised of cedar shingles. It was also restored. (City code, which otherwise prohibits the use of highly flammable cedar shingles on homes, allows for their use on some historic structures with fire protection systems.) Old drawings and photographs revealed an entrance and stairway on the left side of Wisteria Cottage that was removed and walled over when the building served as a bookstore (1960-2005), which was also restored. That side entrance adjoined a sidewalk that once connected Virginia Scripps’ Wisteria Cottage with half-sister and leading La Jolla philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps’ South Moulton Villa (where the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is now located) — an important historic aspect of the property, Fox said. LJHS Preservation Committee member Diane Kane wrote a historical structures report for the project, documenting features of Wisteria Cottage relative to the people who lived there and events that occurred there. Poring through archives at UC Santa Barbara, Kane was able to locate master architect Irving Gill’s original drawing for the remodel of Wisteria Cottage, which served as a better guide for the project than the blurry, faded copy in the LJHS archives, used as a reference for the building’s 1982 historic designation. Kane said she and Stiegler discovered that Gill added Wisteria’s lower level, as well as cobblestone walls lining the perimeter of the property and cobblestone supporting terraces. Though they were never able to identify Wisteria’s original architect (it was built for Edith Seaman and husband, George, in 1904), they learned that Wisteria was once situated to the North, where Balmer Annex now is, and repositioned onto the lower level after the site was re-graded. Kane said the Seamans only lived in Wisteria several months before they mysteriously vanished and it was acquired by Virginia Scripps, who Edith Seaman met through Ellen and Virginia’s half-sister, Annie, at an Alameda sanatorium. In a “real-life Monopoly” scenario, Kane said, land speculators, including the Scripps sisters, were trading parcels on Prospect

bead-board and joists, which were restored. “We decided to take advantage of it,” Fox said. “It really raises the space and helps with the sound and acoustics.” The conference room in Balmer Annex, built for the school in the late 1940s, was restored to that period for meetings, workshops, educational programs and community activities. Improvements to the LJHS’s office and research center, a rear 1909 cottage relocated to the property in the 1980s, will provide a more conducive setting for the public to access LJHS archives. Upgrades to make the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act include bathrooms and an elevator, so physically challenged visitors can access a meeting room on the lower level for research purposes. The gallery space inside Wisteria was redone to meet museum standards (established by the American Association of Museums), including the addition of a humidity controlled air conditioning and heating system to better preserve artifacts on display, and environmentally friendly LED spotlights. The building also includes new electronic security and fire protection systems, and shades that block 95 percent of UV light, Fox said.
Climate change
An entrance and stairway similar to the one removed from Wisteria Cottage was restored as part of the renovation process. back and forth via some strange transactions that ultimately resulted in Virginia renting, then owning Wisteria Cottage (today the oldest structure in what is considered the Scripps/Gill Cultural District). Kane said she also learned that, to better connect their properties (Moulton Villa and Wisteria Cottage), the Scripps sisters obtained a street called Daisy Row (once located between their two properties) from the city, in exchange for two parcels they owned to the north of Wisteria, which the city used to add the replacement street, Eads Avenue.
Further renovations The exterior space between Wisteria Cottage and Balmer Annex was upgraded to make it more functional as a gathering area (since the buildings have no internal passageway), Fox said. La Jolla Garden Club added a bench and planters to spruce up this space.
Despite his initial worry that the renovation might uncover mold, dry rot or other defects, Fox said the buildings were in pretty decent shape. Where wood from Wisteria couldn’t be salvaged, matching floor panels dating to the 1920s and recently removed from a Tudor-Revival house on Virginia Way (part of an ongoing rehabilitation designed by La Jolla Historical Society board member and architect Laura DuCharme Conboy) were used. “On the underside of any new wood that we had to put in the date is written — 2013 or 2014 — so that if some future historian pulls it up they’ll know that that wood went in at that time,” Fox said, noting that mortar in new stone walls adjacent to Balmer Annex were also sprinkled with 2013 pennies to let future historians know they are not part of the original features. Also on the inside of Wisteria, drywall was removed from the ceiling to reveal
While the first air conditioning and heating system in Wisteria’s 110-year existence is employed, the LJHS highlights another kind of atmospheric change pivotal to La Jolla’s growth, via its reopening exhibition, “Climate Change: Midcentury Modern La Jolla” (through Sept. 7). LJHS is ripe for such an exhibit, as La Jolla was on the cusp of the Midcentury Modern aesthetic — a period of bold transition in architectural, furnishing, product and graphic design spanning 1940 to 1965, Fox said. The exhibit, curated by Dave Hampton, focuses on three La Jollans of particular significance to the period, including Russell Forester (1920-2002), involved in designing the first Jack-in-the-Box restaurants, as well as the Los Angeles International Airport and projects for clients such as Theodore “Dr. Seuss” Giesel; photographer Lynn Fayman (1904-1968), known for his light paintings and use of Eastman-Kodak’s 1949 Flexichrome process, by which black and white negatives could be brushed with colored dyes, resulting in a confluence of painting and photography; and architect Robert Mosher (b. 1920), known for his redevelopment of the former Green Dragon artist colony at the northern end of Prospect Street, and his role as a design consultant on the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge. ◆ ■ IF YOU GO: Wisteria Cottage and the “Climate Change” exhibit reopens to the public with extended hours, noon to 4 p.m., May 4-11, at 7846 Eads Ave. (858) 459-5335. lajollahistory.org

Couple seeks two-story addition linking early 1900s cottages BY PAT SHERMAN The new owners of two early 1900s beach cottages on Prospect Place (near Cave Street) are seeking to add a two-story, modern addition and two-story garage in between the cottages. Having met with the city’s Historical Resources Board (HRB) staff, as well neighbors and the La Jolla Historical Society’s (LJHS) Preservation Committee, the owners, Kevin and Melissa Steel of Torrey Lane (who recently closed escrow on the property), and their architect, Tim Martin, came before La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee (DPR) April 8 for a preliminary assessment. “Historic staff seemed reasonably happy,” Martin said during the DPR meeting. “We think we’re at a point where we’re 90 percent or so able to satisfy (them).” However, Martin said neighbors, including Roy Bell and Walter and Estelle Binder, are not pleased with the project, claiming the addition will block light and views, and lead to a loss of privacy. The cottages are situated on a 5,400-square-foot lot with an easement providing access to a rear, two-story home owned by the Binders. According to HRB staff, both cottages at 7991-7993 Prospect Place are presumed eligible for an historic designation — something Martin said his clients would likely pursue as part of their application for a site development permit from the city. Martin said he and his clients view the project as an example of balancing preservation with new development, similar to a project on Playa del Sur in WindanSea that received a historic designation from the city in February. After more than a year of wrangling with preservationists, the property owners decided to preserve and obtain an historic designation for the front (more historically significant) of their two beach cottages, while demolishing and redeveloping the rear one. Melissa Steel said she is “thrilled the battle for the post office is being fought” and views her project as “a great opportunity to show how to preserve the history of La Jolla, which is often taken for granted. “Why can’t we show people that with the help of community, we can preserve that past and still make what we feel is a very modest single-family home,” she said. Martin said one issue HRB staff has with the Steel’s project is that it would affect the principal façade of the rear cottage, removing half of a porch. Though it would be easier for the Steels to develop their property by removing the rear cottage entirely — something they initially considered — HRB staff didn’t like that proposal, Martin said. HRB staff instead suggested the rear cottage be rotated 90 degrees to preserve the porch. To make room for the garage, the rear cottage would also have to be
The city’s historical resources board has suggested that the rear of two Prospect Place cottages (at left) be rotated 90 degrees and pushed closer toward the neighbors’ property line to preserve a porch. The owners of the property in the background oppose the plans.
The owners of this cottage and another behind it on Prospect Place want to build a two-story, modern addition in between them. The owners would likely seek a historic designation for the cottages. PHOTOS BY PAT SHERMAN pushed into the rear yard setback, reducing the distance to their neighbors’ property line by five feet and requiring a variance from the city. The rear cottage would become a master suite and closet, while the front cottage
and entrance would include secondary bedrooms and a living room. The twostory addition would include a kitchen, dining room, family room, elevator and covered outdoor porch facing the ocean. The Steels also wish to add a rear deck,
and, potentially, a “basement” where the property slopes down, to include more living space, and a game room. Martin said the cottages are currently sagging and a foundation would be placed beneath them to make them level. New walls would also be built within the cottage’s single wall framing, he said. DPR member Diane Kane, who also sits on the LJHS’s Preservation Committee, said the structures are among only 30 of La Jolla’s once prolific beach cottages still standing. When determining whether a beach cottage is historic, the HRB follows context guidelines established by the LJHS. Walter Binder noted that Tim Martin was also the architect who designed his modern home above the Cave Store, in the same block. “The Steels seem like very nice people and seem like they would make very nice neighbors,” he said. “We also like Tim … (but) the variance on the setback is going to put their bedroom and closet right next to our deck (and barbeque). If you stand on our deck, you can see it’s already close. Another five feet will put it too close.” (DPR Chair Paul Benton reminded the Binders that they also sought a variance for their adjacent deck.) DPR member and retired city planner Angeles Liera said she does not believe historic cottages need to be “formaldehyded,” although she added that the project calls for doing things “a little unorthodox.” She asked whether the larger, front cottage could be moved closer to the street to avoid moving the rear cottage closer to the Binders’ property. Though Martin said the original chimney would likely be destroyed in the process of moving the front cottage, Liera said she’s seen similar chimneys relocated. Questioned about project costs by DPR member Mike Costello, Martin said it would take more time and money to preserve the cottages than to replace them with an entirely new structure. “We give a variance for setbacks on parking and other things” that aren’t as nice as this project, Costello said. “I’d like to see something be worked out with the neighbors.” Condo project plans OK’d: The DPR committee also voted that findings could be made to approve a coastal development permit and tentative map to demolish an existing residence and construct a two-unit, three-story condominium building at 7452 Herschel Ave. (off Pearl Street), designed by Bird Rock-based architect Daniel Linn. As requested, Linn provided a materials sample board for the wood siding, neutral tone metal roofing and stucco, an elevation study showing the placement of windows in relation to neighboring buildings, and driveway alternatives (for which Linn suggested adding a saw cut or groove pattern to provide character). ◆

Faster times at La Jolla Half Marathon this year ■ Cover story continued from AA1 BY ASHLEY MACKIN Timothy Briggs of San Diego was the first of more than 6,000 people to finish the La Jolla Half Marathon on Sunday, April 27, with more than 850 additional people completing the La Jolla Shores 5K. Briggs ran the 13.1-mile half marathon in 1 hour, 16 minutes, 46 seconds. The 2014 female winner of the La Jolla Half Marathon, Bonnie Axman of San Diego, beat last year’s female winner’s time by almost two minutes. Axman finished with an official time of 1 hour, 22 minutes, 40 seconds — outrunning the 2013 winning time of 1 hour, 24 minutes, 52 seconds. The male winner of the 5K, Nick Sigmon of La Jolla, beat last year’s 5K male winner by less than a minute. Sigmon said he wanted to win because his race was dedicated to his grandmother, who recently passed away. He finished with an official time of 15 minutes, 20 seconds, beating last year’s 5K male winner’s 16 minutes, 5 seconds. The female winner for the 5K, Megan Perko of Escondido, ran the race in 19 minutes, 9 seconds, beating last years’ winning time of 20 minutes, 28 seconds. Participants even signed up faster than last year. Event chair Don Hodges said the half marathon sold out in March. It did not sell out the year before.
Half Marathoners are all smiles as they make the final stretch to the finish line at Scripps Park. Hodges added that while final net proceeds are not confirmed, he is confident the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla will earn “into the six figures” from the race, which typically produces $100,000. “With these funds we support almost 70 organizations,” Hodges said. “We are contributing more than $75,000 in scholarships this year.” The Kiwanis Club bestows college scholarships to graduating seniors at La Jolla High School, The Preuss School, San Diego School of Creative and Performing

President Craig Bratlien added that the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla further supports San Diego Rescue Mission and Voices for Children, and national organizations, such as Meals on Wheels and Boy Scouts of America. Internationally, the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla is collaborating with UNICEF for

Project Eliminate, which aims to eradicate maternal and neonatal tetanus in third world countries. Bratlien said thus far, the disease has been eliminated in 16 countries with 21 to go. “We want to say a huge thank you to the runners of the Half Marathon and 5K,” Bratlien said. “Because of your efforts, the event was a tremendous success and you’ve helped us help children of San Diego.” ◆ ■ For complete race results, visit lajollahalfmarathon.com

City announces 14 planned bike-sharing stations in La Jolla ■ Objections raised to some sites BY PAT SHERMAN he City of San Diego has announced the location of 14 proposed bikesharing stations in La Jolla (among 177 citywide), including three in La Jolla Shores, two in Bird Rock, one in WindanSea and eight in the Village. Last year the city entered into a corporate partnership agreement with DecoBike, which will finance, implement, manage and operate the program for 10 years. Bikes will be secured at kiosks and can be rented by the half-hour, hour, day, week or month using a credit or debit card. When done riding, users park bikes at any kiosk throughout the city. Similar programs have been implemented in Denver, San Francisco and Washington. The low-cost program ($7 per hour, $15 per day) is designed to reduce parking and traffic congestion while promoting community health.

Donors and project participants take part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the vacation cottages at Camp Pendleton. COURTESY
BY PAT SHERMAN On April 15, La Jollan Bob Clelland and others dedicated four more vacation cottages at San Onofre Beach on the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base. The effort is part of the Pendleton Cottages Project, which provides wounded warriors and other military members with a more pleasant vacation experience. Nine of the new cottages are now being used by active duty and retired military personnel for short-term vacation rentals. The new cottages feature memorial dedication plaques to Robert F. Sumoski, U.S. Air Force Airman First Class, and to U.S. Navy Captain Robert M. Hanson. The other cottages were dedicated to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to military medical personnel. The cottages serve a recreational need for current and retired military personnel, with a special focus on disabled veterans. The facility is operated by Marine Corps Community Services and is available to all qualified active and retired military personnel in the country for nominal rental fees. “We have a ways to go to fully fund the 24 cottages that are needed to complete
the project,” project chair Clelland said. “We have installed five two-bedroom units and four one-bedroom units so far.” “The current cottages,” Clelland added, “are actually old FEMA trailers that are considered beyond repair. We are taking them down and putting up new manufactured homes that are handicapped-friendly. These new cottages are built to last, with metal roofs, composite siding and railings, and stainless steel appliances and external hardware. They are set on foundations at ground level for superior wheelchair access.” When complete, the ownership of each cottage is transferred to U.S. Marine Corps Camp Pendleton. The Pendleton Cottages Project is seeking sponsors for future units. The total installed cost for each is approximately $85,000 plus $6,000 for furnishings. Cottages can be dedicated with a plaque honoring the donor or the donor’s designee, such as a charitable organization, company or family member who has served in the military. The Victory Fund of the San Diego Nice Guys is serving as a fiscal agent for the project. More at pendletoncottages.org ◆

Directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley, “Chasing the Song� was a Page to Stage Playhouse workshop production last year from the “Memphis� team, and features book and lyrics by DiPietro, with music and lyrics by David Bryan, TonyAward winning composer and lyricist for “Memphis� and Grammy Award-winning keyboard player and founding member of the rock band Bon Jovi. It was during the workshop that Ashley invited DiPietro and Bryan to produce “Chasing the Song� at the Playhouse. “It’s exciting to bring this show to the Playhouse,� DiPietro said. “This is an 18-person musical so it’s very complicated, and because you learn things in rehearsal, I’m always re-writing and tweaking; I’m fully in it mind and soul.�

music publisher in the Brill Building,” DiPietro said. “It takes place during one tumultuous year in her company — from spring of 1963-64 — and how she achieves success and then what happens when The Beatles arrive and that changes the business overnight.” DiPietro said he is a history buff and loves writing historical pieces — an interest that triggered his desire to work with Bryan on a play about the American history of rock ‘n’ roll. “I grew up on rock ‘n’ roll in the 1970s and always thought that theater should reflect the popular music of the day on the radio,” DiPietro said. “When I started collaboration with David on ‘Memphis,’ I was so excited that he was a real rocker. He has a real theatrical sense and a story-telling sense, so I was thrilled that we could do traditional story-telling but with a rock ‘n’ roll vocabulary.” The suggestion that the pair must have had to add an extra room to their homes for all the awards they’ve won, brings a smile to DiPetrio’s face. “We are just two Jersey guys who have the same backgrounds and that helps. We get along and are good friends. I really love rock ‘n’ roll and wanted to bring it to theater, and David also wanted to bring what he does to the story-telling, which has made my stuff a little hipper, and my story kind of grounds him.” In addition to great music and a superb cast (many with Broadway experiences, some local favorites, and a few from the UC San Diego M.F.A program), DiPietro said he hopes theater-goers will see that like in life, you never know if a song will become a hit or a flop.

DecoBike are still evaluating the sites and weighing public input. Doug Fitzgerald, chair of the La Jolla Recreation Council, a nonprofit board that makes decisions on how La Jolla Rec Center funds are used, said his board is opposed to the location of the Rec Center station. During the board’s April 23 meeting, members voted to request that the city instead move the station around the corner to Cuvier Street, between the tennis courts and The Bishop’s School. Fitzgerald said they believe the station should be moved “for safety reasons, as well as aesthetically.” Others say the location is in violation of La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance. In addition, Lana Findlay, a senior public information officer with the city’s Transportation and Storm Water department, said several businesses also contacted the city to object to the loss of two parking spaces for the station on Playa del Norte in WindanSea. “We’ll probably go out to the site and see if there’s any alternate location on the sidewalk,” she said. “We’re hoping to expand the program, so any suggestions for additional station locations, I’m sure DecoBike would be open to hearing about for a possible phase three.” Through its contract with DecoBike, Findlay said, the city is allowing the

Charles Muse Ewell died on April 16, 2014, at his home in La Jolla, CA, after a long battle with cancer. He was 77 years old. Charlie Ewell was born January 12, 1937, in Richmond, VA. He was a 13th generation Virginian who moved to California in 1974. His father, Charles M. Ewell Sr., was a Richmond policeman for 30 years and his mother, Virginia Causey Ewell, worked part-time for Stanley Home Products. He was the first member of his family to finish high school. He earned a B.S. from the College of William & Mary, Richmond (now Virginia Commonwealth University); an M.H.A. in Hospital Administration from the Medical College of Virginia, Richmond; and a Ph.D. in Management from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He worked in hospital management in the U.S. Panama Canal Zone and in Chicago for five years, then with the Booz, Allen & Hamilton consulting partnership in Chicago for another five. For the
next ten years he was with Arthur Young & Company (now Ernst & Young) in Los Angeles and New York as a partner and the director of that company’s healthcare consulting work in the United States. He also directed the merger that created American Healthcare Systems (now Premier, Inc.), a national alliance of 1,500 hospitals based in San Diego, and served as President during its start-up. In 1986 he founded The Governance Institute, a subscription-based publishing business which provides education and research services to boards of directors, and contributed to the education of over 100,000 board members in over 2,000 of America’s hospitals and medical centers. He continued as Chairman after selling the organization in 2000 to a Boston investor group and also continued as Chairman of Global Governance, Inc., his own privately held strategy and investment business in La Jolla, CA. He published over 50 articles and several books on management and governance strategy, and lectured at the University of Wisconsin, Yale University, Ohio State University and UCLA. While living in Los Angeles he served on the boards of the City of Hope Medical Center and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Men’s Committee. In San Diego he served on the boards of the San Diego Symphony and Sharp Memorial Hospital. In the
last decade of his life he served on the Board of Overseers of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and was a member of the Republican Finance Committee during the presidential campaigns which helped defeat Al Gore/Joe Lieberman and John Kerry/John Edwards. Since selling his primary business interests in 2000, much of his time was spent fly fishing and bird hunting around the world and at his homes in La Jolla, Sun Valley, ID, and Punta Mita, Mexico, with his wonderful family and friends, and trying to figure out why golf is so difficult. Dr. Ewell is survived by his lovely and brilliant wife of 30 years, Dr. Valerie Ewell of La Jolla; two fabulous children, Charles Daniel (Christine) Ewell of Los Angeles, CA, and Elizabeth Ewell (Matthew) Lindenburg of Seattle, WA; a much younger sister, Virginia Ewell Terry of Key West, FL; and five far-aboveaverage grandchildren, Katherine, Grace and Charlie Ewell, and Ben and Mia Lindenburg. He was predeceased by his parents and sister, Betty Ewell Barnes. The family requests that donations be made in memory of Charles Ewell to the Sally Ride Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund at UCSD Moores Cancer Center, 9500 Gilman Dr., #0853, La Jolla, CA 920930853. Always a planner, Dr. Ewell wrote this obituary himself a decade ago and updated it periodically.

Connect to a lifestyle of fitness at Armone’s Core Connection BY MARTI GACIOCH rmone Sullivan’s passion for Pilates led her from a small business in her converted garage to a 2,200-squarefoot gym and Pilates studio on Girard Avenue in La Jolla in less than six years. Sullivan, who began dancing at age 6, and competitive road cycling in her late 20s, said she took up Pilates at the suugestion of a friend. “I developed big legs from cycling and as soon as I tried Pilates, I was hooked,” she said. “It leaned me out and I knew I wanted to do Pilates for the rest of my life.” Sullivan said she trained for nearly three years to become a certified instructor. Her early garage business grew through referrals and that trend continues to the present. After earning certification, she was still a working Realtor when a friend asked Sullivan to train her. Within a year, Sullivan had 40 clients and stopped her work in real estate to train people full time. She opened a 1,200-square-foot Pilates studio on Fay

Avenue. Two years later, her client base reached 200. “That’s when I decided to teach crosstraining as well, so I opened Armone’s Core Connection, a 2,200–square-foot facility on Girard Avenue with a full gym and a Pilates studio,” Sullivan said. Besides Pilates, the studio offers indoor cycling, boxing and circuit training (weights, resistance training, cardio) taught by her staff of 16 — including top trainers
in each specialty, as well as personal trainers and an in-house nutritionist. Sullivan also teaches a six-month class providing 100 hours of training to become a Pilates trainer. “I love motivating people to be the best they can be,” Sullivan said. “I see them do things they never thought were possible. Last year, one woman lost 126 pounds by doing the programs.” Armone’s workouts become a lifestyle for
clients and they stay with her studio for years. She reports a client retention rate of 90 percent. “This is not a 30-day program,” Sullivan said. “If you’re going to work at Armone’s, you’re serious about your fitness as a lifestyle. We developed a community like a family. Our instructors know our clients by first name and we try to do something collectively as a gym every month — like hiking or mixers — to give clients a sense of belonging. That’s another big reason why most clients stay with us.” A special for new clients (see the ad in La Jolla Light’s Professional Services Directory in the Classifieds section, page B18) offers one month of unlimited classes for $129. That includes all Pilates, boxing, indoor cycling, circuit training and barre. ◆ ■ Armone’s Core Connection. Armone Sullivan, ACC, owner/Pilates instructor, 7438 Girard Ave., La Jolla.

Classy La Jolla, Class-less Driving BY JOHN PARKER

eing a resident in “The Jewel” of America’s Finest City has its perks. We are blessed with a small-town feel and a larger-thanlife reputation. Our town is unequaled in beauty with a world-renowned character of affluence, culture and Southern California lifestyle. But, in a few places, we fall short. It seems we are unable to drive in a manner that befits our surroundings and follow the laws of the road. As a resident, I have great concern about writing this public address, but I feel compelled to go on the record. We are LOSING our class through our selfish driving habits. We know that when the tourists are here to visit, parking is a nightmare. Pedestrians don’t even glance before crossing the street, and we are a honk away from a full on fistfight. In my concern I have to ask, why? Why do we feel the need to always assume it’s our turn? Why do we think that allowing a pedestrian 8 seconds to cross the street will make us more than 30 seconds late to our destination? As a pedestrian myself, why am I in constant fear of being
GUEST COMMENTARY struck by a Range Rover when I cross the street? Something has got to change. Two main intersections are responsible for needless rage and out-of-control ego in our town: Girard Avenue/Silverado Street and Fay Avenue/Kline Street. For the general safety of our residents and children, may I implore you to follow some simple instructions: 1. Come to a complete stop at stop signs (law). 2. Look to your right, if the vehicle to your right even approaches the stop line a second earlier than you, it is THEIR right of way. 3. Allow and encourage pedestrians to fully cross the street before you commence your route. 4. Use your blinker and be courteous. 5. FOR PEDESTRIANS: Stop, look both ways, yield to traffic, then go. 6. GET OFF YOUR CELLPHONES (law). We see more concern in the addition of “roundabouts” in Bird Rock. Most California drivers have no experience with roundabouts,
but they really are great. They’re like a four-way stop sign, but cars never have to stop. When you approach a roundabout, there is a “yield” sign. (Note: NOT a “stop” sign.) For the safety of others, follow these simple rules: 1. If you enter the roundabout and will be changing direction, use your blinker! This will notify other drivers that you intend to change direction instead of going straight 2. DO NOT STOP at a yield sign unless yielding to another driver (this almost causes accidents daily). 3. Stop at pedestrian crossways if you see blinking lights or standing pedestrians (law). To fully appreciate and support our community and self, may I suggest always being conscious to be courteous and compassionate. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world and we are privileged to walk and drive in safe neighborhoods. Let’s keep our city safe by minding the rules of the road, being respectful to other drivers and pedestrians, and remembering that La Jolla is built through the sum of its parts. Be conscious of the blessings we have here and let’s reflect it in the way we interact with each other. ◆

Surely, we must all know a sea lion from a seal typical of a sea lion — not the more prone position of a harbor seal. I sit at Children’s Pool many mornings and frequently I hear visitors identify the harbor seals there as sea lions. While we may ultimately disagree over the fate of the either species of pinnipeds, we ought to at least understand which is a sea lion and which is a harbor seal. It makes a difference.

Unfortunately, the picture shows a sea lion not a harbor seal. It is a sea lion because it is high among the rocks, a climb a harbor seal can’t make. Further, the animal’s upright posture is
ore than 70 volunteers organized by the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary club gathered March 1 to refurbish the interior of the 22,000-square-foot San Diego Police Department’s Family Justice Center, 122 Broadway, Suite 200, in downtown San Diego. In just over 12 hours, volunteers prepped, primed and painted many of the interior walls within the complex. Over several other days, volunteers and other businesses replaced 2,500 square feet of carpeting, cleaned the remaining carpeting, and added 12 pieces of large wall art with inspirational quotations from famous world leaders. The work was performed for the San Diego Police Department in order to better serve the families traumatized by domestic violence and in anticipation of a worldwide convention of Family Justice Centers held recently in San Diego. The Family Justice Center project was inspired by the work of the late Stu Brown of University City, a charter member of this Rotary club and longtime supporter of the San Diego Police and Fire departments.

SPORTS GIRLS LACROSSE: The Bishop’s School Knights 19 ■ La Jolla High School Vikings 3
Bishop’s looks strong, La Jolla young and growing BY ED PIPER he Bishop’s School midfielder Alarisse Lam and her Lady Knights teammates kept bringing the ball from midfield (or even closer) like a relentless wave toward the La Jolla High Vikings’ goal, pushing the attack to keep pressure on the visiting Vikings April 21. Said 11-year Bishop’s coach Meghan Carr, whose lacrosse teams won Coastal League titles in 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2013: “If that ball hits the ground, it needs to be in someone’s stick in three seconds.” The mad rush to the gates pays off in forcing opponents to make quick, constant adjustments on the fly without a pause to think and regroup. Lam, one of the team captains, explained, “We’ve developed both a strong, solid defense and an attack with a lot of firepower, both of which are really exciting to be part of.” Bishop’s seniors Barrett Kearney and Catlin Brown lead offensively, each averaging five goals and four assists a game. Fellow senior Hannah James leads on the defensive side. Carr noted “her quick footwork and her ability to quickly turn over balls and place them in our attack.” Alex Flagg and Sydney Yockey key the midfield and defense. Senior goalie Nikki Gold tore her ACL after wins over Cathedral and Rancho Bernardo and is lost for the season, but freshman Elizabeth Russell is filling in, starting with the game against La Jolla. Carr noted that during spring break, when school is closed down and activity usually lessens, the entire team chose to come back to practice and play in the Sun, Surf and Stix Tournament — “key in starting off our season against heavy hitters like Cathedral and Rancho Bernardo.” The Lady Knights (5-0 in the Coastal League, 14-0 overall) are ranked 13th in California, 77th in the nation, which is nothing to sneeze at. Those are powerhouse numbers, with Bishop’s playing in the CIF Division I playoff semifinals last year against Canyon Crest before losing to the eventual CIF champion, and beating third-seed Mission Hills in the quarterfinals. “One of the two major things our coaches have stressed to us has been composure, meaning on defense, we never let the other players’ actions get to us; we stick to fundamentals and keep our

composure,” Lam noted. “The second thing is to ‘rip it up,’ which means our attack never slows down or gets comfortable with any lead, and we continue to push forward.”
La Jolla Vikings Coach Brittany Butler (2-1 in the tough City League, 6-5 overall) manages a younger group, but the players are no less committed or hardworking. They were faced with the awesome task of
trying to slow down Bishop’s persistent attack, but didn’t quit and at halftime, made adjustments that led to a visibly more aggressive offense and goals by Lauren Robbins. Courtney Gainor, who leads Vikings’ defense, cited the contributions to the team from Cat Cuthrell, who just started playing lacrosse this season as a senior. Ashley Pretorius, Heather Eaton and Robbins lead the offense. “Heather has really stepped up to the plate in her first year as a varsity player,” said Coach Butler. “The connections she and Ashley make on attack are phenomenal.” Lauren Fike and Gainor stand out on the defensive side. Said Coach Butler of Fike, “She really understands how to reach back in a tough game and rise to the occasion.” La Jolla, like Bishop’s, has had to deal with the ACL menace — twice. Senior Emily Young tore hers last fall in field hockey and sophomore Helen Lee is also out with ACL rehab. Both players come out to share their knowledge with their teammates. Lee spoke highly of the efforts Morgan Mitruka made in goals this season for the Vikings. ◆

SPORTS SAND VOLLEYBALL: La Jolla High School Vikings ■ Scripps Ranch High School Falcons
La Jolla High girls undefeated at the beach R Final result: The LJHS pair won in two straight games, 2-0, to close out the match and keep the Vikings’ sand contingent undefeated at this point in the season. Said Young, who also plays indoor volleyball at La Jolla High, “Bridget is a perfect partner for me, because all of my weaknesses are her strengths and vice-versa.” Coach Jeff Smith, blessed with a talented squad of experienced sand players, instead of barking orders said he sets a different ambience. “At practice, it is very competitive and fun,” he said, “The girls are self-driven, and there is no yelling or screaming or loud whistles like you get indoors.” If needed, the varsity, combined with 10
other players designated as the junior varsity, sit and chill out. “Sometimes our girls show up stressed from school, so we just sit in a group for five or 10 minutes to refocus that stress and watch the waves hit the beach as we discuss our goals and expectations.” (Indoor coaches must be jealous, not to have such a setting to reset players’ mindsets.) For the Vikings, Chloe Luyties and Tessa Tooman are paired as Team 1, Young and Odmark, Team 2. Other varsity team members include Simone Stavros, Emma Willis, Katie Chapman, Amy Peckham and Abby Waldburger. Said sophomore Luyties of two-person volleyball, “I like sand because you are
more involved in every play and you’re a huge part of the game. All of us on the team are like sisters!” She sees her strengths as a player in setting and defense; she’s a setter on the six-person indoor team. What is called “beach volleyball” in Olympic competition, popularized with the gold medal success of Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor, is called “sand volleyball” in the states. This is because, explained one beach denizen, there aren’t beaches in other parts of the United States similar to ours in Southern California, so the sport is played on sand in locations other than the beach. Though the sand volleyball team

The other pairings had split their matches, 1-1. In this final matchup, Young, 6-foot-2 and playing confidently, was dominating at the net with her height, and she and Odmark’s communication and interplay were clicking.

The Three Don’t of a Successful Remodel How many of you have spent a lazy afternoon binge-watching episode after episode of HGTV’s “The Property Brothers” or “Love It or List It”? Watching contractors transform their clients’ homes into their dreams homes is certainly addicting. As a contractor, I know that there’s nothing better than the look on my client’s face after a successful renovation. And as a
contractor, there’s nothing worse than the look on a client’s face after a nail gun accident. In order to keep a smile on your face during your remodel, here are a few things I would recommend NOT doing: Don’t do it all yourself: I definitely encourage my clients to get as involved in their remodels as their time and expertise allows. Not only can this save them money; there is also something satisfying about playing an active role in creating your space. However, the proliferation of DIY TV shows, design blogs, and YouTube videos misleads many into thinking that they can tackle every aspect of their remodel. Trying to take on projects that are outside your comfort zone can, first of all, ultimately add to the cost of the remodel. More important, however, is the safety factor. Working around electricity, power tools, and without the proper safety equipment can be
dangerous, and has landed many novices in the emergency room. Don’t be afraid to speak up: One aspect of the home remodel that I encourage my clients to participate in 100 percent is communicating their ideas and desires. Some clients get intimidated because they feel that the contractor is the expert, and some feel that what their wish list is way outside their budget so it’s not worth mentioning all of it. However, I encourage my clients to get as detailed as possible. Write down a list of what you are hoping your remodel achieves and gather as many pictures as possible from design magazines and blogs. Experienced contractors have devised creative ways to problem solve, so you may be able to get a lot more than you think. And if your budget doesn’t allow for everything, you can talk with your contractor about completing it in stages.
Don’t ignore San Diego building codes and regulations: It’s tempting to want to bypass the time and bureaucracy associated with getting your remodeling plans approved by the city, but it’s not worth it. If your remodel violates the city’s codes and regulations, you will be fined and required to make the changes needed to meet the city’s codes or return your home to its original state. At Murfey Construction, we look forward to making your wish list into a reality. We also have years of experience working with San Diego’s building codes and regulations so you don’t have to navigate the process alone. To find out how we help you with all aspects of the remodeling process—general contracting, construction management, budgeting, and maintenance—log onto http:// MurfeyConstruction.com.

need to know where you are more in sand volleyball, “You have to cover a lot more court, (so) your court awareness is more important,” she said, adding, another factor in sand volleyball is the wind. It affects where players position themselves to receive serves. ◆

Hourly and Live-In Care. Our caregiving services focus on two basic types of care: hourly and live-in. The service you choose is determined by your particular needs. Hourly caregiving works well for many families. In this situation we provide trained caregivers on an hourly basis. Here the caregiver focuses all her attention exclusively on the senior. Live-in care differs from hourly care in that we provide personal aides on a daily basis. Live-in caregivers are often the best choice for those seniors who need the companionship of another person, but who do not have intense “all the time” personal needs. At Home Care Assistance we mean it when we talk about providing the best in senior care–whether it is on an hourly basis or a live-in basis.

La Jolla High pianist takes top honors, will perform with Symphony BY PAT SHERMAN a Jolla High School sophomore and pianist Hazel Friedman took first place in the San Diego Symphony’s 2014 “Hot Shots” Young Artist Concerto Competition in March. As part of the honor, Hazel will perform the fifth piano concerto by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns with the San Diego Symphony at the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center (formerly Copley Symphony Hall) during the symphony’s 2014-2015 season. Hazel said she performed the same piece for last year’s competition, though was not used to being onstage in such a vast space. “It was terrifying,” she recalled, “but my teacher (Dana Burnett) said that it’s good to be able to put yourself in a place that’s extremely different than anything I’m used to and just get that Hazel Friedman COURTESY experience a couple of times, no matter what happens.” Hazel had no problem wowing the judges this year. “When they called my name I couldn’t believe it. I actually looked at my mom and I said, ‘What does that mean?’ I had no clue. I was just so surprised (and) extremely excited,” she recalled. “I’ve always wanted to play with an orchestra and I love this piece — I feel like it’s my piece. So, getting to play a piece that I love and I want to practice over and over to make it perfect — that’s amazing for me.” Hazel said she mainly hones her craft playing classical music for competitions, but also enjoys sitting down to try her hand at popular Broadway musicals such as “Wicked” and “Book of Mormon.” “I like sight reading through those pieces because they’re fun, but classical is my main passion, and what I want to be playing for college and what I want to try and make a life with,” said Hazel, 16, who is considering applying to

Oceanside Museum of Art presents an eclectic mix BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT f you’ve never been to the Oceanside Museum of Art, now is the time for a visit. There are currently five varied exhibits on display — the eyepopping pop art fantasies of Jean Wells (including a giant, walk-in Hershey’s Kiss); the shapely drawings and sculptures of Kenneth Capp; the bold, blackand-white graphic images of John Daniel Abel; the weird, welded steel pieces of Roy Rogers (the living North County artist, not the long-gone singing cowboy); and the imaginative, art-meets-

run in a well-marked business vehicle with a GPS on it may not be the smartest move. Obviously, he didn’t think anyone had seen him. Both the house painter and I tried calling Famous Company but among their many customer options was not “Report hit-and-run by service vehicle.” Before “the body” could be moved (or in this case, vac-ed up), the police came out and took crime scene photos. I took a bunch, too. It wasn’t until the next morning that I was finally able to get through to Thelma at Famous Company’s Risk Management office, apparently in the South. She did not inspire confidence that this matter would be resolved quickly. When asked to describe what happened, I said — exact words — “One of your vehicles hit my car, sheared off the driver’s side mirror, and left the scene. It was a hit-and-run.” Thelma drawls, “Oh, mah. Thas more
description of the driver was dead on. But, sacre bleu, their truck shows no damage in the corresponding place. How could it have hit my mirror? The detective assigned to the case had an explanation for that, which he basically summed up, albeit more kindly, as “armored tank hit your crappy Corolla.” The Famous Company guys push on: Is the painter positive there wasn’t another car right behind their truck that could have hit my car? I could see a new theory emerging. The Famous Company driver hears a loud noise behind him. Someone has hit my car! He pulls over, sees my mirror in a bazillion pieces in the street. Outraged, he speeds off in search of the real killer, er, crasher. The painter is having none of this. He is 100 percent positive there was no other vehicle anywhere in sight. At this point, the salary cost of all the people involved in this has exceeded the sum total value of my car. But ultimately Famous Company concluded that, despite reasonable doubt, they would just pay me the $406 for my mirror. And the painter, against all odds, was actually able to finish the job. ◆

he man who knocked on my front door pointed to the curb. “Is that your car?” Instantly you know there’s no good news to be had. Which doesn’t, of course, keep you from fantasizing he’ll say, “I just wanted to say that I totally love those older model Toyota Corollas. Such classic lines. And SO affordable.” But, of course, what he said was, “A truck just hit your car and took off.” It wasn’t just any truck. The good Samaritan on my porch had been painting the house across the street when a big service vehicle bearing the prominent logo of a Famous Company sheared off the driver’s side mirror assembly of my car sending its nowmicro-pieces some 30 feet ahead in a truly impressive debris field. The driver stopped, quickly looked around, and then sped off. I do have to say that doing a hit-and-

I went over to the neighbor’s house and apologized to him where he was still trying to get a little painting in between phone calls. “I’ve never been so popular,” he laughed. On the fourth day, Famous Company said they were coming out to do a crime scene re-enactment. The painter needed to be there, too. When I told my husband, he said, “Do you get to be the truck this time?” They were really hoping for a house painter who smokes dope on the job and calls you “dude.” Their bad luck; this guy was the sharpest witness in America. Famous Company was dismayed that I had had my mirror replaced, never mind messed with the crime scene. I assured them that I had ample photos of the corpse. They had me put my car in the exact place on the street where it had been hit so the distance could be measured from the mirror to the ground. The Famous Company field guy admitted that the GPS on their truck shows it being precisely in front of my home at 4:32, the reported time of the crime. And the painter’s

‘Top Chef’ Richard Blais scores another win with Juniper & Ivy BY KELLEY CARLSON ust two months after opening, Juniper & Ivy is flourishing. Located in the hot culinary scene of Little Italy, this much-buzzed-about restaurant is serving up “refined American food with Left Coast edge” with many positive reviews. The multi-level establishment is often lively and energetic, with an open kitchen and vantage points that overlook the dining areas. Much of Juniper & Ivy’s success can be attributed to its culinary staff, led by celebrity Executive Chef Richard Blais (winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef: All Stars”) and Chef de Cuisine Jon Sloan. “Richard is constantly pushing me and our chef team to do our best — we have a lot of talent in the kitchen, spearheaded by a talented chef,” Sloan said. Their diverse menu changes daily, and in fact, only 20 percent of the offerings from Day 1 remain. “The restaurant is like anything else in life — it’s a constant process, always evolving,” Sloan said. Starting at 4 p.m., guests can order snacks at the bar such as Our Buttermilk Biscuit, BBQ Abalone, Chicken Oysters and Dungeness Crab Beignet. These can be paired with cocktails created by renowned

composed of small curls of white sea bass that are accented with fennel and topped with pickled celery. For pasta, a kitchen favorite is the Squid Ink Rigatoni. And for the entrée-sized “plates,” choices range from King Salmon to the juicy San Diego Chicken, prepared “coq au vin” style and presented with vegetables such as asparagus, pickled pearl onions and morel mushrooms, all in a swirl of chocolate and hazelnut sauce. There is also a secret menu that guests can inquire about. Like the rest of the “standard” menu, this, too, changes, but
recently, offerings have included the “InN-Haute” burger, a play on an In-N-Out burger. The patty is created from beef mixed with dry-aged fat, then topped with grilled onions, mustard, animal-style sauce, pickles and served on brioche. For dessert, the piece de resistance is the Yodel, a hollow tube of dark chocolate filled with devil’s cake and white chocolate pudding that rests on a bed of cake crumbles, hazelnut brittle, freezedried strawberries and crunchies. The tube melts as hot chocolate is poured over it. Patrons usually “melt” after tasting it. ◆

FROM LA JOLLA HIGH PIANIST, B1 Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio or the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, just north of Chicago. Though early, she said a career serving others, such as nursing or teaching, might interest her as a minor. Her mother, Amanda Friedman, said Hazel began playing at age 8, which is considered late for a pianist to begin. However, coming from a musical family, which includes a grandmother and great aunts and uncles trained as classical musicians, and a father (Greg Friedman) who plays guitar in San Diego indie bands the Truckee Brothers and the Montalban Quintet, Amanda Friedman said her daughter was eager to join the family fray. “She begged to start and she just kind of took off right away,” her mother said. “She’s just been learning steadily and quickly ever since then. She’s very consistent at practicing, and she does that independently on her own. I think classical music is all about the time that you put in preparing for it. You can’t just do it all at once or cram. It has to be a consistent growth.” ◆

he sixth annual San Diego Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Walk, benefiting lung cancer research at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, will take place 9 a.m. May 4 at Cancer Survivors Park on Harbor Island. This year’s walk will honor event cofounder Mike Stevens of La Jolla. A UCSD graduate of 1983, Stevens lost his battle to lung cancer in September 2013. An active, healthy non-smoker with a wife and two children, Stevens was diagnosed with lung cancer at age 44 in 2005. His battle with the disease stretched eight years, despite an initial two-month prognosis. During that period, Stevens became a national advocate for lung cancer health policy, counseled hundreds of cancer patients as co-chair of Lung Cancer AllianceCalifornia and helped establish the annual San Diego Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Walk. According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer accounts for about 27 percent of all cancer deaths in the nation. More people die each year from lung cancer than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. Pre-registration is $35. On-site registration is $40. The cost for survivors to participate is $15 and $20 for children under age 12. Register at sdbreathofhope.ucsd.edu ◆

SOCIAL LIFE
Friends gather in support of foster children
V
oices for Children’s President’s Circle donors came together for a cocktail party April 4 at the La Jolla home of VFC board member Jill Skrezyna and her husband Alex Sun. The guest speakers were Juvenile Court Judge Carol Isackson and her daughter, Amy, who for the past two years has served as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer. The women spoke movingly of their experiences with foster children in the San Diego County’s child welfare system, and of the ways that CASA volunteers make a life-changing difference in the trajectories of foster children’s childhoods.

Let’s Review WILL BOWEN
UCSD’s Calit2 art show rethinks ‘disabilities’
A
s we grow and evolve individually (or collectively as a society), we come to see people and things differently. Art can help quicken the pace. The exhibition that recently opened at Calit2 Gallery on the UC San Diego campus does just that. “Senses of Care: Mediated Ability and Interdependence” offers a radical, new look at disabilities, care-giving and different forms of embodiment through photographs, videos, artifacts and art objects such as an artificial leg made of LEGO bricks. The show is a step forward in how we perceive those who need some form of assistance. It helps break down social stigmas, so that we may begin to see others as unique individuals with different experiences of being in their bodies. It moves the concepts behind the new Americans With Disabilities Act from just being about the reconfiguration of space and signage into the interpersonal realm. The project developed from a UCSD Communication Department seminar led by professor Brian Goldfarb. Nine of Goldfarb’s students decided to continue meeting after the seminar ended. They came up with the idea of an art show that would bring together artists who deal with disability. Trish Stone, the Calit2 Art Gallery curator, liked the idea and helped the group coordinate the project. “I thought it was important that this show be here on campus,” Stone said. “We have many students with some form of disability and it’s important to hear from them and gain their perspectives. Likewise,
Brian Goldfarb, a UCSD associate professor of communications, is curator of the ‘Senses of Care: Mediated Ability and Interdependence’ exhibit.
it’s also important to help the average person on campus to relate to the experiences of someone with mediated ability, that is, someone who requires assistance from some form of technology.” The participating artists: 1) Cathy Greenblat is a professor emeritus at Rutgers University and author of 16 books. Since 2002, she’s been engaged in a cross-cultural photography project on aging, dementia and end-oflife care. 2) Sara Hendren and Brian Glenney are working on creating a new icon for disability — one that connotes latent abilities. 3) Christine Sun Kim is a performance artist developing programming initiatives for deaf audiences. 4) Petra Kuppers is a professor at the University of Michigan who creates environments where people with disabilities can come together. Her Salamander Project invites them to float together in the weightless buoyancy of a swimming pool. 5) Park McArthur is a New York artist addressing domestic workers rights and in-home assisted care. 6) Sins Invalid is a project that celebrates disabled performance artists. 7) Christina Stephens is an occupational therapist who relates her journey after losing a leg in an accident and who made the artificial leg out of LEGO bricks. 8) Chun-shan (Sandie) Yi is an art therapist creating “crip couture,” fashion for those with disabilities.
Salamander Project
Opening reception panel discussion with a new ‘disability’ icon Jamie Rau is one of the graduate students who continued on with professor Goldfarb. She said she worked for two years in Mexico at a farm run by a veterinarian who required a wheelchair for mobility. The veterinarian had all the children who came to his “zoo,” view it either in a wheelchair or on crutches so they could get the “disabled” perspective. “That was a very good thing to do in Mexico because people there still see people with disabilities as invalids … people without worth,” Rau said. She has spent time at the United Nations in Geneva working on the rights of people with disabilities and has consulted with the U.S. State Department to make federal websites easier to use for those with poor vision. Communication doctoral student Ivana Guarrasi also continued on with Goldfarb. She is from Slovakia and interested in nursing education. “How do we teach nurses about patient care? What are the best ways to care? These are some of the questions I wonder about,” she said. Art patron Fred Rabe works on developing cell phone applications to improve communication between doctors and patients. He attended the opening reception. “This exhibition challenges your thoughts about caregiving,” Rabe said.

“We are just discovering how much care for the elderly costs us economically as a society. It’s in the billions of dollars! Eventually, all of us will need this care for ourselves. It’s wise for us to consider what the best way to go about it is.” Composer and filmmaker Michael Winn-Myrow was also at the opening and said, “Ever since my hair turned gray, people have been treating me differently. They expect me to act in certain ways based upon my age. “I started to think, maybe other people are having similar experiences facing socially conditioned responses and expectations. I came here hoping to find out what to do about it because, obviously, the judgments we have about people get in the way of relationships!” ◆ ■ IF YOU GO: Calit2 Gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday at Atkinson Hall, First Floor, 9500 Gilman Drive, UCSD campus. Admission is free. gallery.calit2.net ■ Screening: “When I Walk,” 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, May 6, Robinson Auditorium (parking at Pangea Drive structure) ■ Accessibility Mapping Day: May 10, the community joins students to assess whether UCSD buildings are accessible, and then uses mobile apps to add that information to Google Maps.
