Blue Eagle’s crew uses a cleansing foam with microbes that will feed on the bird waste and eliminate the stench at La Jolla Cove cliffs.

First cycle of Cove odor cleanup begins By Pat Sherman orkers were busy June 17 spraying the rocks above La Jolla Cove with a microbial foam city officials believe will digest years of bird guano on the rocks, eliminating a stench that has nauseated Village residents and visitors for more than a year and a half.

announced on May 28 that the city had hired Blue Eagle Distribution to clean the bird waste from the rocks. At that time workers tested their product in both a liquid and a foam on a section of excrement encrusted cliffs just north of La Jolla Cove — ultimately deciding that the foam was easier to manage and less susceptible to runoff.

The Blue Eagle product contains seven, lab-cultured microbes that literally feed on the bird waste, leaving only a chalky substance behind. “As it goes away, part of the microbe action is it creates CO2 (carbon dioxide) and water, so we want to make sure there’s no runoff

Planners OK guesthouse, deny retroactive beach closure La Jolla Community Planning Association By Pat Sherman During the June 6 meeting of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), board members discussed whether a 700-square-foot residential structure proposed for Crespo Drive should be considered a guesthouse or a separate residence. The Development Permit Review committee voted to approve a coastal development permit (CDP) for the project in March, though LJCPA member Dan Allen, who lives in the vicinity of the project, pulled the item for further discussion. “We have no intention of renting that property out,� its owner, Anthony Morreale, told those in attendance. “We don’t want anybody living down there. We just want a little more space when we have family or guests (visiting).� Architect Conrado Gallardo said the guesthouse would not contain a full kitchen, and thus not qualify as a separate residence. The nearly quarter-acre property — which includes a primary residence with a local historic designation — includes a driveway off Crespo. Another driveway accessing the guesthouse will be on Kearsarge Road. Allen said he is concerned that the property would impact parking on Kearsarge Road, and requested that the applicant reduce the width of the new driveway to accommodate two parallel, street parking spaces, as was done with

another residence on Kearsarge Road 10 years ago. However, Gallardo said Kearsarge Road is not wide enough in that area to accommodate street parking. The addition of parallel spaces would also require grading and a reduction of the property’s setback, he said. “We did a lot of massaging on the design to meet all the requirements with parking,� Gallardo said, noting the addition of a lower-level, two-car garage on the guesthouse. Though Allen and another neighbor said they did not receive the required public notice about the project, LJCPA trustee Bob Collins said the city verified that a notice was sent and posted. In the end, the association voted to approve the project by a vote of 10-0-5.

In other LJCPA news n Beach closure permit denied: Park and Recreation Department District Manager Dan Daneri asked LJCPA members to approve a retroactive standard coastal development for the nighttime beach closure at Children’s Pool, which ended May 15. The mayor requested an emergency permit for the closure to protect the pupping seals earlier this year, though city regulations require that emergency permits are replaced with standard permits. Following some heated exchange between Daneri and beach access proponent Ken Hunrichs, the group voted not to approve the permit, “on the grounds that the timing is absurd.� n Confounded over beach closure: The LJCPA grappled

Architect Conrado Gallardo discusses a guesthouse he designed for a Crespo Drive property. Pat Sherman further with the mayor’s involvement at Children’s Pool, this time with his proposed 24hour closure of the beach during the seal’s winter pupping season. The city presented the proposal during the LJCPA’s May meeting. After some discussion, trustees voted to reject a draft negative declaration prepared for the beach closure, and request the city instead prepare a full environmental impact report. At the June 6 meeting, trustees voted 9-6-1 to reject proposed city amendments to the La Jolla Community Plan that would create an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA) at the Children’s Pool to allow the 24-hour beach closure. The group then considered allowing the proposed ESHA, so long as language suggested by LJCPA Vice-chair Joe LaCava was inserted into the community plan that would prevent the city from

closing any of La Jolla’s other beaches due to “colonization� by wildlife. Trustee Ray Weiss said that, procedurally, LaCava’s amendments — though favored by both seal advocates and pro-beach access proponents — would need to be publicly noticed before being voted upon. In the end, LaCava made a motion to postpone his amendments indefinitely. Weiss argued that, ultimately, what happens at any of La Jolla’s beaches is not up to the LJCPA, but under the auspices of state and federal regulatory agencies. Having the community plan in conflict with state and federal law is not a good position to be in, Weiss suggested. n Anger over tree removal: Though the removal of a heritage eucalyptus tree at 7850 Ivanhoe St. was pulled for discussion by LJCPA

trustee Dan Courtney, architect Claude-Anthony Marengo had the tree removed before the group had a chance to discuss the item on June 6 (removal of the tree was approved by the Planned District Ordinance subcommittee in April). “It was a beautiful tree; it wasn’t sick,� trustee David Little said. “That tree has been there for 100 years and he can’t wait 30 more days before he cuts it down to find out what the community wants?� Trustee Gail Forbes argued that eucalyptus trees are prone to dropping limbs, leading to property damage and personal injury, and that the Ivanhoe tree’s roots were causing the sidewalk to buckle. Trustees voted to request the city refrain from removing more heritage trees until the LJCPA has made its recommendations. n Infrastructure input sought: Vice-chair Joe LaCava, who was recently re-elected chair of San Diego’s Community Planners Committee (the umbrella organization overseeing the city’s 42 community planning groups), said the city is now seeking input for its 2015 fiscal year public infrastructure budget, including projects in La Jolla. Community members were first asked to submit suggestions for projects last year. “This time, rather than waiting until September, we’re going to start in July, so all La Jollans and La Jolla organizations are encouraged to participate,� LaCava said, noting that last year the city received 225 recommendations, 12 of which made it onto the city’s budget (though no new projects from La Jolla were included).

A Pain-free Summer

Have you begun to notice any changes in your ability to perform normal daily tasks or physical activities due to pain? Based on the findings of the 2006 Voice of Chronic Pain Survey, 60% of patients said they experience pain one or more times daily, effecting the overall quality of life and well-being; 59% reported an overall effect on enjoyment of life; 77% reported feeling depressed. If you can relate to these statistics, physical therapy (PT) may be exactly what you need. Physical therapists are experts in movement and function. Many patients are referred to PT because of difficulties with daily activities due to pain. Through one-on-one treatment with a knowledgeable physical therapist, patients will benefit from personalized and highly skilled treatments to promote proper function and alleviate pain. Our therapists will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan and provide you with the proper tools to achieve your physical therapy goals. P.S.

WindanSea taco shop robbed at gunpoint The Rigoberto’s taco shop in WindanSea was robbed at gunpoint Saturday, and police are seeking two suspects in connection with the crime. A gun-wielding man and his accomplice demanded cash from a clerk at the La Jolla Boulevard eatery (near Westbourne Street) shortly before 11 p.m. on June 15, San Diego police Officer David Stafford said. The suspects received an undisclosed amount of money and left the business, according to Stafford. No one was injured, he said. Police described both men as white, in their 20s and between 5-feet-7 and 6-feet tall. Both were wearing dark clothing and boots. Anyone with information is urged to phone San diego Police Department’s Northern Division at (858) 552-1700 or e-mail SDPDNorthern@pd.sandiego.gov — City News Service

La Jolla woman sentenced in death of nanny A La Jolla attorney who struck and killed a nanny pushing a baby in a stroller in Torrey Highlands was sentenced June 7 to three years probation and 48 hours in jail. Christine Padilla, 35, pleaded guilty last month to a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter and infractions of running a red light and failure to yield at a crosswalk. In addition to the probation and two-day jail term, she must spend 180 days under electronic surveillance. The Feb. 1 accident at Camino del Sur and Via Verrazzano happened about 11:45 a.m., according to San Diego police. The impact threw Monserrat Mendez about 30 feet and dragged the stroller with a 13-month-old boy strapped inside across the intersection, leaving it wedged under Padilla’s Toyota 4Runner. Paramedics took the 41-year-old Mendez to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, where she was pronounced dead. The toddler was taken to Rady Children’s Hospital for treatment of non-lifethreatening injuries, including scrapes and bruises. An investigation revealed that Padilla was not speeding or talking on her cellphone when the accident occurred.

Spotlight on Local

Alicia Kennedy works to transform lives through dentistry By Marti Gacioch Alicia Kennedy, DDS, loves transforming lives with her cosmetic dentistry skills. A few years ago, a 22-year-old woman with severe depression and low self-esteem came to Kennedy for a dental cleaning. “I checked her front teeth and they were broken and decayed from her medications, and she wouldn’t smile,” Kennedy said. While the woman couldn’t easily afford much dental work, Kennedy arranged a credit payment plan that enabled her to have a new crown and veneers put on her front teeth — and suddenly, she had a lot to smile about. “She changed from night to day and was smiling all the time,” Kennedy said. “She moved to Hawaii and got a job, and is now

married with a baby. We stay in touch and she told me I changed her life.” With her dentistry degree from UCLA and an office on Girard since 1998, Kennedy’s passion is dentistry, and restorative work is her specialty. She sais she loves blending dentistry and artistry to create transformative effects, and she stays up-to-date on the latest techniques by frequently taking classes. Dental implants and teeth whitening are in high demand at her office. While Kennedy used to do partial dentures, bridges and removable pieces, she’s moving away from those techniques because she believes they’re not good for the gums, and patients still get cavities. “We prefer doing implants because they’re easier to brush and floss,” Kennedy said.

40 Years of Proven Success! ADD/ADHD & UNDER-MOTIVATED TEENS

“They have a 98 percent success rate, and an implant is like your own tooth; you won’t notice any difference — except you’ll never have to think about a cavity or a root canal.” Kennedy pointed out that whitening teeth is now easier than ever. “The process can take less than 30 minutes,” she said. “But using Bright Smile ($350 for a 1.5-hour treatment) provides more profound bleaching, but it is so strong it can only be done every three years.” For in-between heavy bleaching sessions, Kennedy uses the Sinsational Smile machine, which can be used every six months. “It’s not as profound a level of whitening,” Kennedy said, “but it doesn’t cause any sensitivity, and it creates a very natural looking result.” In addition, Kennedy prepares home trays of bleaching gel and syringes for her patients and trains them on how to use the product twice a week. Dr. Kennedy was voted No. 1 dentist in the 2011 La Jolla Light Readers Poll. — Alicia Kennedy, DDS, 7334 Girard Ave. #101, La Jolla.

Nekter Juice Bar opens in La Jolla on Friday From Nektar Reports

Nekter Juice Bar is located at 834 Kline St. in La Jolla.

Nekter Juice Bar, a leading wellness brand that offers a variety of vegan drinks, smoothies, acai bowls and other healthy beverage and food options, will open its first San Diego location 7 a.m. Friday, June 21 at 834 Kline St. in La Jolla — turning a historically-inspired cottage into a vibrant and healthful neighborhood destination. Nekter in La Jolla will celebrate its opening with complimentary 16-ounce juices and smoothies, along with a limited supply of the brand’s widely popular oneday cleanses. The first 50 customers will also receive $25 Nekter gift cards. Founders Steve and Alexis Schulze launched Nekter Juice Bar in 2010 and have enjoyed a successful start as Orange County’s premier vegan juice bar. Since opening the first location in Costa Mesa, their delectable juices have satisfied customers in 11 locations from Orange County to Los Angeles, and now San Diego. Additional stores are scheduled to open in other cities in California, as well as Arizona and Texas, later this year. “For quite a while, we’ve seen La Jolla as a quintessential location for us to introduce the Nekter lifestyle,” said Steve Schulze. “This beachside community is a friendly blend of locals and vacationers who pride themselves on healthy living, from beverage and food choices to fitness and outdoor activity. We’re looking forward to meeting our new neighbors and building long-lasting relationships in this area for years to come.” Nekter La Jolla will include the first-ever Nekter Cleanse Bar — a full service counter complete with a Nekter Cleanse specialist, who will treat customers to samples of the Nekter food and beverage menu, including its one-day cleanse, a delicious blend of cold pressed fruits and vegetables filled with as many vitamins and nutrients in a

In addition to the Cleanse Bar, Nekter has created a comfortable and casual WiFi-friendly patio, where customers can enjoy Nekter’s full menu of fresh juices, smoothies, acai bowls, bottled cold-pressed juices, artisan salads and vegan snacks. Nekter also offers a two-, three-, or five-day Cleanse Program designed to increase energy and aid in the release of toxins. The customized cleanses provide a path to healthier eating habits, less sugar and processed food cravings, which in the future may lead to weight loss and enhanced well-being. Earlier this year, Nekter launched Nationwide Shipping for online orders, so people all over the country are able to enjoy the brand’s signature recipes.

From Haute Nights, A1 During the June 22 event, LJVMA is sponsoring a drawing in which people can visit any participating business and enter to win gift certificates and services from La Jolla businesses. For more information, visit lajollabythesea.com “The La Jolla Village Merchants Association created the series of Haute La Jolla Nights events to make La Jolla a festive and fun nighttime destination. We had a great turnout last year and expect it to be even bigger this year,” said LJVMA Executive Director Sheila Fortune. This year’s $5,000 title sponsor is The Optical Shop of Aspen.

In other LJVMA news n Board members needed: During its June 12 meeting, the merchants association announced it is seeking nominations for new board members. Elections will be held during the organization’s general meeting on Oct. 9. Members serve two-year terms, and are asked to commit four hours of service per month, including one-

Prospective board members must have an active business license in the La Jolla Village business improvement district, or be nominated by someone with a license. “We’re looking for people who wish to actively aid the association in promoting La Jolla as a good place to do business,” LJVMA board President Phil Coller said. Nomination forms must be submitted by Aug. 14. Interested candidates may request a form through July 14 by e-mailing Sheila

Fortune at Sfortune@ lajollabythesea.com n Board elections: Due to the high cost of holding board elections via mail ($3,500-$4,000) and low response (about 70 out of 1,250 business improvement district members), the LJVMA voted to hold its elections in-person, during its Oct. 9 general meeting. n ‘Pillage’ plans: Charles Stephens of Gallery Properties discussed ways the La Jolla Real Estate Brokers’ Association (REBA) could join with the LJVMA and Kiwanis Club of La Jolla to produce La Jolla’s “Pillage the Village” Halloween

Stephens suggested using REBA’s Kline Street office as a starting point, where children would be given a silkscreened trick-or-treat bag to collect candy from participating merchants along Girard Avenue and neighboring streets. “Participants would be asked to bring one nonperishable food item for the San Diego Food Bank,” Stephens said. n Businesses cited: Coller reported that the city has issued several citations to business owners on upper Girard Avenue for unpermitted signage and other items in

the public right-of-way. Several proprietors were told their next citation would result in a fine. n Bench sponsors: Design Division chair James Niebling said 15 public benches in the Village are in need of people to sponsor them for five years each. The $2,500 cost includes refinishing and maintenance as required. n Associate memberships: LJVMA approved associate memberships for the Map and Atlas Museum of La Jolla and Bird Rock-based Southern California Vacation Rentals. n Parking board funds: LJVMA voted to sign a contract with the city accepting responsibility for administering the Coastal Access and Parking Board funds used to subsidize monthly parking permits for those who work in the Village. n Reservation terminal: LJVMA voted to approve a contract allowing aRes Travel to maintain a computer terminal in the association’s new La Jolla Village Information Center, 1162 Prospect St., where visitors will be able book a reservation.

From Cove Stench, A1 whatsoever,” said Blue Eagle’s Lance Rodgers, noting that his workers were monitoring how long it takes the foam to break down, which he said varries based on the sun and wind conditions. Mayor Filner told the La Jolla Light during a brief visit to the site Monday morning that “within hours most of the smell will be gone and people can enjoy lunch again. If any of the nesting birds or seal lions get in the way, (the workers) will be back in July.” For about 10 days, Blue Eagle will spray the rocks, coming about 3 feet from the edge, the closest allowed per current permits and California Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations. Keith Merkel, a consulting biologist hired by the city to oversee the work, said the remaining, three-foot-wide, guano coated-cliff edge shouldn’t be enough to sustain the stench. “Odor is a matter of scale,” Merkel said. “If you go out to any shoreline you will smell the sea odors — the kelp rotting and the animals and the bird guano. The idea is to get it to where it smells like the ocean, and not like a septic tank.” Workers will return at the end of July or early August to reapply the product to the same spots, and also to areas where the cormorants

Blue Eagle workers apply foam onto the La Jolla Cove cliffs June 17. The city is spending $50,000 for the initial odor-eliminating treatment (not including the amount it is paying staff and a consultant on the project). Maintenance would cost about $100,000 per year, the mayor estimates. Photos by Pat Sherman are now nesting, and workers are currently not allowed to spray. Precaution taken The work was delayed for one week, while Blue Eagle created a batch of product without its trademark blue dye (as requested by the city). “The contract also required them to go through safety training, working with the lifeguards to make sure they understood (how their) rope rigging worked,” said San Diego Park and Recreation Department

spokesperson and Storm Water Department head, Bill Harris. Harris said the city also spent days taking a biological inventory of the site, “taking notice of what the birds’ nesting patterns were.” Several hours into the job on Monday, Harris said the work was going well. “We pledged not to disturb the animals,” he said. “You’re not seeing the gulls fly up and out of their nests.; you’re not hearing a lot of noise from the sea lions. They’d be upset if we were getting too close.”

Because there was almost no runoff produced by Monday’s first foam application, Harris said workers were able to apply more of the product than they had planned. “It went on thick, it settled, it stayed in place and it really started to do what it was supposed to do,” Harris said. “Not only are they spreading it out, maybe getting it into a few more areas ‘cause they’re not disturbing the birds as much, but they’re putting a little bit more on top of what they’ve already put down.”

Merkel said work would cease during rain, high tides or strong winds. “If we anticipated rain we wouldn’t work at that time because of the concern of having the material wash off before it actually had any benefit, and ultimately being a discharge,” he said, noting that the greatest share of the work would be done early in the morning, when there is less wind. “The biggest risk that we have in that situation is the sea lions moving higher up on the rock, being more of an impediment.”

From Planning, A3 n LJCPA bylaw changes: LaCava said some “minor changes� to the LJCPA bylaws approved by members in March are close to being adopted by the city. He said the city attorney found some of the changes “a little confusing� and requested that they be reworded. “The essence of what we did has been preserved in its entirety,� LaCava said. “I believe the tweaks have just improved the eloquence of the bylaws. We will bring that to the trustees in July to make sure that you agree that the spirit of the intent has not been changed.�

separate pipeline rehabilitation projects in La Jolla, both scheduled to begin this fall. Some of the city’s more than 3,000 miles of wastewater pipelines are more than 10 years old, are deteriorating and must be either replaced or repaired to avoid stoppages and spills. The first project, to begin this fall and conclude by December of 2015, includes repair of 7.93 miles of sewer mains and laterals in La Jolla and the UTC area at a cost of $7 million. The project includes repair or replacement of manholes, installation of cleanouts, curb ramp installation or replacement, and road resurfacing or repair in work-disturbed areas. The other project involves repairing 4.12 miles of sewer pipeline in La Jolla and a few other parts of City Council

District 1 at a cost of $5 million. It should be complete by December of 2014, the city said. Representatives told the LJCPA there would be an odor generated by application of epoxy resins, which are used to repair the pipe lining. Workers entering the underground pipes will be wearing protective gear as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, though project officials say there should be no danger to residents near the project area. The city will send notices to residents before work begins. Residents may be asked not to use their sewer lines for several hours during some portions of the work.

The project will improve a very important connection between points to the north, such as Sorrento Valley, University City and UC San Diego, and points to the south, such as Mission Bay, Pacific Beach, Mission Valley and Downtown San Diego. A portion of the proposed Rose Creek bikeway would be separate from motor vehicle traffic (Class I bike path), but other portions may be on the street (Class II). For more information, contact Project Manager Chris Carterette at chris.carterette@sandag.org or (619) 699-7319.

A public workshop about the proposed Rose Creek Bikeway Project will be held 6-8 p.m. Thursday, June 20 at the Mission Bay High School library, 2475 Grand Ave. The Rose Creek Bikeway Project is a new bike path that will run along Interstate 5 connecting the University City area to the beach communities to the south. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), which is spearheading a major effort to expand bikeways throughout the county, will host the workshop. The Rose Creek project is part of the planned Coastal Rail Trail — a 40-mile system of multi-use paths

Architect, city scoff at rumors new Shores lifeguard tower ‘unsafe’ By Pat Sherman Despite rumors that the city was having concerns about the safety of its new lifeguard tower at La Jolla Shores — specifically the cantilevered arm supporting its observation tower — Rick Espana, a senior associate at Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, which designed the $3.8 million facility, said lifeguards and beachgoers have nothing to worry about. “The arm itself uses high-strength concrete and can carry a load of up to 3,200 pounds — not including the (observation tower),” Espana said. “The tower itself was only designed to hold three people in terms of operation, but you could probably quadruple that and you’d still be fine.” The interior of the concrete arm features epoxy-coated, steel rebar. “There’s quite a bit of it too,” Espana said. “We worked with our structural engineer pretty closely to make it all fit and work. Epoxy-coated rebar, basically, is rebar that will not corrode over time.” Espana said the crumbling, condemned lifeguard tower at Children’s Pool beach — slated for demolition by month’s end — is being replaced in large part due to corroded rebar. The high-strength concrete used in the new Shores tower is made to withstand 7,000 pounds per square inch. “It’s extremely strong and extremely durable; it should last many, many years,” Espana said, adding that it meets current building codes for a high-seismic, coastal area. “During construction we had a couple of tremors after the arm was formed and there were no issues,” he said. “We don’t have any concerns about that.” Of the new 1,485-square-foot tower, City of San Diego Project Manager Jihad Sleiman concured, “We strongly believe that we have a super-safe building there.” The existing, 850-square-foot Shores’ tower will be demolished by June 28, the city said. An evaluation of the new tower’s features and safety considerations — produced earlier this year by students with UC San Diego’s Department of Structural Engineering (which can be viewed at bit.ly/shorestowerstudy) — suggests that ultrasonic testing, impact echo testing and infrared thermography should be used

Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects designed the $3.8 million facility in La Jolla Shores. Pat Sherman periodically as tools to assess the tower’s health. “Metallic elements such as the stairs, girders, and columns are all prone to cracking, rust, and corrosion over time,” the report states, in part. “It is proposed that over the life of the structure, trained ultrasonic testing personnel periodically check all metallic elements for significant defects and record data such as the location and severity of found defects. … “The new La Jolla Shores Lifeguard Tower has a lack of structural redundancy. Because of this, the structure is vulnerable to high deflections if any cracks are present. It is important to monitor these deflections and cracks over time in order to make sure the structure remains within its allowable deflection limits.”

New Children’s Pool tower update Sleiman said the city is still waiting for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration to issue an Incidental Marine Mammal Harassment Permit before the demolition of the existing Children’s Pool lifeguard tower can proceed. The permit is required in case construction causes an unintended disturbance to seals on the beach. “We promised all the groups here that we are not going to start this project unless we have that permit in hand,” Sleiman said. “We are very, very committed to this. We are not going to do work during pupping season, and we are not going to start if we don’t have that permit.” In the meantime, Sleiman said, the city will set up two temporary lifeguard towers along the coast — one about two blocks south of Children’s Pool, and the other on the southern edge of Ellen Browning Scripps Park. The existing trailer used as a lifeguard office will be placed atop several street parking spaces at Children’s Pool until the new tower is built, Sleiman said.

Some La Jollans want Cove guardrail removed n To keep the Cove cliffs clean, it’s suggested people be allowed back on the rocks By Ashley Mackin The May 28 cleanup process initiated by Mayor Bob Filner to remove the odoriferous excrement from the bluff at the Cove, has some La Jollans opining that the next step is for the city to remove the protective rail there, which would allow human access to the cliffs and deter animals (and their waste) from coming back. “Just take the damn gate down,

let the people go back on the bluffs. The animals will find (another) place to go,” said lifelong La Jollan, Melinda Merryweather. She said in the past, the rail had openings for people to get through to walk down, and she and her friends would sit on the rocks all the time. “No one that I ever knew got hurt and we were on there for years,” she said. “Why is it that for years and years it was safe for people to go there (and now it’s not)? I think it should be open to the public.” Mike O’Hare, a retired lifeguard and La Jolla resident of 60 years, confirmed that at one time, the rail

had eight openings and because of the human presence, there were no animals on the cliffs — and no smell. “You get rid of the animals, you get rid of the smell,” O’Hare said. “The city created this problem and the only way they are going to cure it, and not just attack the symptoms, is to open the rail and let people down there.” O’Hare said he was involved in the rescue that led to the rail being closed off. He said in the late 1970s, during the La Jolla Rough Water Swim, a cement platform was installed to support a diving board. When the swim was over, the diving board was removed, but

the platform remained. O’Hare said in the 1970s, an intoxicated man jumped off the rocks and hit the platform, breaking his neck. The man was resuscitated, but was paralyzed from the neck down. “He sued the city, saying that platform was an attractive hazard for him to be down on the rocks and was awarded $1.6 million,” O’Hare said. Immediately after the suit was settled, the City of San Diego removed the cement platform and closed the rail. Merryweather said installing a

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

Views “In and of itself, (the arm) being completely sterile and concrete makes it look ugly … as opposed to (the portion with the decorative tile). Other than that, (my friend) Tom and I are worried about it falling down, but we didn’t do well in physics.” Norm Solomon La Jolla Shores

LA JOLLA LIGHT - june 20, 2013 - Page A19

What do you think about the new La Jolla Shores lifeguard tower design?

“It’s a big improvement. It’s not as ugly as that other one. It’s less obtrusive. The other one is a big, white thing right in the middle of the sidewalk. This is over a little more and … it’s sleeker; it’s lower. I don’t have any problem with the raw concrete. It’s a modern look … but it sure took them forever to build it.” Judi Solomon La Jolla Shores

“The design is OK, but it cost too much. There was a sign here that it cost $3.8 million to build this thing, and it took almost a year and a half. This is a $200,000 project, not $3.8 million. I think somebody ripped them off.” Hamid Bozorgzadeh La Jolla Shores

“I love it. It’s beautiful. I like that it looks like it shouldn’t work, in terms of physics, but the way that they designed it, (the lifeguards) really see way out there.” Vivian Glyck (with son, Zak) La Jolla Shores

We asked this question June 17 on the boardwalk at La Jolla Shores beach. Compiled by Pat Sherman and ashley mackin

“I think it stands out. It is different. It’s very retro. The staircase going up, it’s kind of odd … but it’s artistic down here. As soon as they made it, I thought (the observation platform) is out in the middle of nowhere.” Victoria McFarland Mt. Soledad

“It sure looks better than the old one!” Donna Green Visiting from Iowa

From Guardrail, A18 “travel at your own risk” sign would have been a better solution — the city would avoid liability and the sign could be implemented today. O’Hare suggested another solution for the city to consider. He said one option is to place a small rail toward the bottom of the bluffs, so people could walk down and prevent the animals from returning, but still have some barrier to prevent anyone from falling. By closing the bluffs, Merryweather said, “(The city is) closing off public access to the bluffs or the beach and you can’t do that. Part of our community plan, being a coastal city, is you have to encourage beach access as much as possible. That’s what we are trusted to do. “The idea that we have this small little precious place that we have allowed to be given up to animals at the cost of people is becoming ridiculous. There were never sea lions there and there were never those birds there.” O’Hare also recalled a time when there were no animals on the Cove cliffs, stating that this changed with the rail installation. He said he recently counted 550 sea lions at the Cove. The decision to close or open an area like the Cove bluffs must come from the Department of Park and Rec, with buyin from the mayor’s office. Such decisions are rendered on a case-by-case basis. Neither the mayor’s office nor the DPR responded by deadline as to whether rail removal was up for discussion.

Police to step up citations on unlicensed beach vendors were concerned with vendors at Scripps Park. Meyer said any time a solicitor tries to get attention for the purpose of selling something, they must have a permit visible. However, food truck vendors receive their permits from the San Diego County Department of Heath, and follow different rules. For example, they can park in parking lots with permission from the building manager.

Shores summer crime

By Ashley Mackin Two San Diego police officers made presentations during the June 12 La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) meeting at the request of board members seeking more information on crime at Kellogg Park. Permits & Licensing Officer Cindy Meyer discussed how to identify licensed versus unlicensed solicitors and vendors, and Officer Tom Underwood talked about summer crime. Afterward, the LJSA board discussed the challenges in re-establishing its non-profit status, and elaborated on the reasons for needing a ranger stationed at Kellogg Park.

About soliciting

Officer Meyer said the police department is working with lifeguards to empower them to issue citations to illegal vendors and solicitors. At the Shores, ice cream trucks operating

La Jolla Shores Association joins a crackdown on vendors who may operate at local parks and beaches without a license. Ashley Mackin illegally are a cause for residents’ concern, so Officer Meyer stated the rules ice cream vendors must follow to operate legally. Ice cream trucks: • cannot be parked without customers in line for business • must leave when the line clears • cannot drive through a neighborhood more than twice in one hour • are not allowed to park and sell in

parking lots • cannot be within 500 feet of a school • must have commercial plates (number, letter and four numbers) • must display a city-issued vendor’s permit. Any photographic evidence of a violation is always helpful, she said, and can be sent to CMeyer@pd.sandiego.gov During the June 3 La Jolla Parks and Beaches meeting, several board members

“Overall, crime is down except for auto theft and larceny (property theft),” Officer Tom Underwood reported, acknowledging more auto thefts in the Shores. Board member Izzy Tihanyi said she’s noticed the increase and recommends people not leave keys or bags unattended at the beach. Underwood added cars should be locked and valuables not left in view. SDPD’s summer beach team will be short staffed this year due to general staffing issues throughout the department. “The way it has worked in the past is every division in the San Diego Police Department lends some bodies to form a larger beach team,” he explained. “Usually with a beach team, we get eight to nine officers (on loan) for a team of 10 to 12.” However, only two divisions were able to lend two officers each, and the beach team currently has six officers.

Ranger call

From Shores, A20 Underwood added, “So if you know a specific area where it seems people are always out there drinking, please e-mail me and give me a call and I’ll specifically assign that area to the beach team.” He can be reached at TUnderwood@pd. sandiego.gov or (619) 952-8447.

Non-profit status LJSA Chair Tim Lucas told the board its status as a non-profit organization was revoked in May 2011 because there was a change in reporting requirements in 2007. The Internal Revenue Service had the incorrect address on file and the board was not aware of the new rules. Having missed the grace period to earn retroactive non-profit status, LJSA is subject to corporate taxes and corporate tax penalties. Lucas said the donations received in the last three years are subject to a 15-percent tax and a delinquency penalty for not being reported until now. LJSA voted to approve paying the $400 fee needed to apply for federal non-profit status, and will work to get other fees abated or reduced. Lucas said the board still has tax-exempt status in the state of California, so it only must reapply with the federal government. In the meantime, LJSA is categorized as a 501(c)(4) and any donations made are not tax-deductible donations and could not be used as a tax write-off.

The board has argued for months that Kellogg Park requires a ranger on patrol, and continued to enumerate reasons why. “Kellogg Park is in such desperate need for a ranger and now, with the police being cut, even more so; the lifeguards have made it clear that they are not doing anything on the east side of the park,” said member Mary Coakley-Munk. Lucas added that the lifeguards are neither able to look away from the ocean nor be away from their post to investigate possible issues on land at the park. “That’s where a ranger … on certain hours or certain days … would be so big for safety,” Lucas said. “ … to keep the lifeguards focused on what they should be doing — watching people in the water — and having other (guardians) who can spot drug use and other things going on.” The board decided to form a committee to specify what hours, days of the week, months, and duties, they would like a park ranger to have so when they make a formal request, they have a detailed plan. Lucas asked the board and audience members to take photos to document problems in the area so the committee has a base from which to work. Next La Jolla Shores Association meeting: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 10 at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography Martin-Johnson House (T-29), 8810 Biological Grade.

Could condos be coming to the corner of Pearl Street and Eads Avenue? Pat Sherman

Gas station owner seeks to redevelop site By Pat Sherman The owner of a Unocal 76 gas station at the corner of Pearl Street and Eads Avenue is hoping to redevelop the site as a mixeduse blend of retail and condominiums. Property owner Mark Conger told the La Jolla Light he has submitted preliminary plans to the city. “It’s not exactly eminent,” said Conger, noting that the process will be lengthy and includes approval to remove underground gasoline storage tanks. “I’m still a couple of years away. We need to get the city staff onboard with our plans and, once we get closer to that objective, then we’ll go in

front of the community groups to share what the plans are.” Current zoning regulations allow for up to 12 condominiums on the site, with retail on the ground floor and condo units on the second floor and at the rear of the property. Until his plans are approved, Conger said the 76 station will remain open. “It’s very profitable, very successful,” he said. “I’ll keep it open as long as I possibly can. It could very well be indefinitely, depending on what I’m able to get through the city. If (the plan) isn’t financially feasible, then it will stay as a 76 station.”

A record number — more than 2,500 participants — raised $300,000 for student scholarships on June 8 at the UC San Diego Triton 5K, an annual race that takes place during Alumni Weekend. Nick Sigmon was the top male runner at 15:43. A UCSD alumnus, Sigmon is now a grad student with a goal of becoming a high school biology teacher. The fastest female participant was Nihal Kayali at 17:17, a La Jolla native and undergraduate at Yale University, and part of

her university’s cross- country and track and field teams. Participants ranged in age from six months to 90, and many formed teams, the largest with more than 140 members. New this year was the Kid’s Fun Run, intended to be a 100-meter dash, but the overzealous youngsters kept on going for the full 400-meter lap on their own accord! A corresponding race occurred the day before (June 7) in Hong Kong, where 17 UCSD alumni held their own race on the other side of the globe.

Maura Walters keeps an artful eye out for local masterpieces

Maura Walters Maura Walters is the assistant to the director (Erika Torri) at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, where she has worked since 2006. The Athenaeum, located on the corner of Wall Street and Girard Avenue, is one of only 16 membership libraries in the United States. Founded in 1899, it is one of the oldest cultural institutions in San Diego. A library dedicated to art and music, the Athenaeum presents a year-round schedule of art exhibitions, music concerts and festivals, art classes, lectures and much more. Walters earned a B.A. in Art and English from Centre College in 2004. Before coming to the Athenaeum, she worked in the Art Collections department at the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. Walters also volunteers for the Riford Library’s Art Gallery exhibitions.

By Ashley Mackin Marianna Allgauer, a longtime supporter of Guide Dogs of the Desert, recently gave $20,000 to the non-profit to sponsor two dogs in training to become service dogs for the blind and visually impaired. The recent recession hit the Palm Springsbased facility hard, so Allgauer upped her ante and is hoping others will decide to make donations, too. “There isn’t anything I do that gives me more satisfaction than knowing I’m going to make a difference in someone else’s life,” she said. The La Jollan sponsors a dog every year with a grant from the Harry Allgauer Foundation, started by her late husband. “We sponsored our first dog in 2006 or ’07, and it was such a joy that I’ve been very committed ever since,” she said. Though she donates to other organizations, as well, Allgauer said her main focus is Guide Dogs of the Desert. “I totally believe in what they do and I think it is such a worthwhile cause,” she said. “It plays such as important role; a life-altering role in a very positive way for people who have impaired vision.” Kim Laidlaw, executive director of Guide Dogs of the Desert, said donations help fund the extensive training that selected dogs must go through to become service animals for the blind. She said the dogs are provided at no cost to the applicant. See Guide Dogs, B28

Winston the Wonder Dog, Chapter Four

A

La Jolla Cultural Partners

s I said to my younger son, if you’re going to have a problem child, better that it be the dog. Our beloved but selectively compliant grand dog, Winston, is back again for another of his multi-month sojourns at Camp Grammy and Grampy. We adore Winston even though his breed is known for emitting loud snores from one end and noxious streams of postdigestive kibble emissions from the other. Sometimes both Olof and I wake up in the middle of the night simultaneously exclaiming, “Geesh, Winston!” It’s like sleeping with a flatulating white noise machine. Winston’s positive traits, however, are many: he loves people albeit a tad overenthusiastically (think slobber facial). He is wonderfully gentle with our tiny grandchildren and our neighbor kids. A more affectionate dog you couldn’t find. Well, that is until a dog walks by our front gate, at which point he launches into his Cujo imitation. I don’t know what Winston thinks he’s protecting us from, but he’s pretty clear we need it. Ironically, as soon as you get a dog on our side of the gate, he’s Winston’s new best friend. Dog owners who don’t know Winston can be

forgiven for not wanting to take my word for it. Our son and daughter-in-law don’t have walk-by traffic at their house but we see a dog every five minutes. We have spent a fortune on trainers in an effort to persuade Winston to be less territorial at our house. In fact, the third trainer finally referred us to a “behavior collar” trainer whom I wrote about previously. Winston definitely improved during that stay with us, but using that collar truly took more out of me than him. (A letter from Winston’s attorney says he begs to differ.) When Winston arrived for his most recent stay, I couldn’t help but be totally dazzled by a woman in my neighborhood who walked by my house every day with — count ‘em — FIVE dogs off leash. Chatting with her one day over the fence (I could barely hear her over Winston’s massive snarlathon while her canine entourage sat obediently) she offered to take Winston for a test walk the next day with her chihuahua. I could only assume she didn’t like the chihuahua and wanted to get rid of it. But post walk, she reported that Winston had behaved just fine. When he started to “alert” to other dogs they encountered, she

corrected him. “With what?” I said, “A two by four?” It became instantly clear who the alpha entity was in Winston’s and my relationship. And it wasn’t me. And thus we ended up hiring Trainer No. 5. No, not the neighbor. She is obviously a natural dog whisperer (and I would have hired her in a heartbeat). She doesn’t do training but knew someone she really thought could up Winston’s game. Winston initially rolled his eyes when the new trainer arrived, as if to say, “Are we really going to do this again? For all that money, you guys could have bought me a lot of chew toys — or yourselves a whole new dog.” I liked this trainer. He felt that Winston needed his vocabulary expanded — specific words to specific behaviors rather than my over use of “AIEEEEE NOOOOOOO!!!!!” As with most previous trainers, Winston was good as gold while the trainer was there. (Dogs? What other dogs?) The trainer felt that if I could get Winston to reliably respond to “Down!” (i.e. lie down) followed by “Stay!”, that 95 percent of my problems would be solved. Hard to hurl yourself at a front gate with your belly on the ground. Suffice to say that the next day when Winston and I went out front for a practice session, it became clear we were

going to have to tweak the system slightly. The trainer’s command for aggressive behavior was “Be Nice!” My former military officer husband balked at this, commenting, “What is this, the California School of Canine Self-Esteem?” “Be nice!” also seemed a little understated for a dog impersonating a pit bull on steroids. My other problem was that I wasn’t sure which of the new commands to be using first when Winston did his Cujo thing at passing dogs. I asked my neighbor across the street, who has a really well trained dog, “So when Winston charges the gate, what should I say?” Neighbor: “RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!” “No,” I said, “to the DOG.” Well, it’s still a work in progress. But I am beyond relieved not to be zapping poor Winston. Some passers-by tell me I shouldn’t even be trying to train Winston out of his territorial behavior, that with Winston on site, I live in the safest house in America. But yesterday, when a neighbor walked by with his three dogs and I was actually able to get Winston not to snarl at the gate, a voice came from the other side: “Good dog.” — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

Bali Hai whispers in the wind of the sea:

‘Here am I, your special diner! Come to me, come to me!’ By Kelley Carlson t the northeastern tip of San Diego’s Shelter Island is a landmark restaurant that practically transports guests to the South Pacific islands. Bali Hai Restaurant — named for a famous show tune — opened in 1955 and was the first building in a newly constructed neighborhood that had previously been a mere sandbank in San Diego Bay. Today, the community of Shelter Island is filled with marinas, hotels, parks and restaurants, yet Bali Hai continues to garner much attention from residents and worldwide travelers. There’s plenty of free parking for those who drive and there is a dock just outside the disc-shaped restaurant for those cruising the water in vessels. The building is constructed from more than 15 types of wood, some of it rare. Outside the front entrance is Mr. Bali Hai, a large droopy-lidded face that people love posing next to for photos. And on top of the roof is the head of “The Goof,” an icon with a bit of a mysterious past. Once inside, guests ascend to the second floor to reach the main dining room, which offers a panoramic view of San Diego Bay, downtown’s skyline and North Island. “Going to lunch is like going for a vacation,” said Bali Hai owner Larry Baumann, son-in-law of original owner Tom Ham. As sunset nears, colors reflect on the downtown buildings’ windows, and once

n This week’s recipe: Bali Hai’s Sansho Rubbed Escolar darkness arrives, the city lights begin to twinkle. Occasionally, guests are treated to the moon rising over the skyline. The dining room features island-inspired decor and is filled with more than 100 Polynesian artifacts, such as wood weapons, tiki figures, antique tapa cloths and ocean charts. In the cocktail lounge, patrons can watch a sporting event on flat-screen TVs or share a fruity, turquoise-hued Scorpion Bowl for two. In the center of the room is the bar, where an overhead digital counter display keeps track of every World Famous Bali Hai Mai Tai ordered. The restaurant’s signature cocktail is created from the original Trader Vic’s recipe

and guests are warned beforehand that it is strong. It’s a mix of Coruba Jamaican Dark Rum, Ron Rico Light Rum, orange liqueur and sweet and sour; no fruit juice is added. The drink is so popular, Bali Hai gets calls from bars in Hawaii seeking the recipe, and people from around the world stop at the restaurant specifically to try one, according to Baumann. As of the mid-afternoon June 9, there had been a total of 2,233,248 Mai Tais ordered, 22,232 of them in 2013. Patrons can whet their appetizers with items such as the Scallop Carpaccio, thin slices of scallops with XO oil, fennel, black lava salt and small, tart slices of lime that enhance the dish’s flavor; the Battered Crab Cakes, topped with kimchi bean sprouts and served in a slightly spicy sauce; and pieces of Crispy Ahi Tuna with colorful cucumber ceviche and togarashi water. Among the notable Pacific Rim-inspired cuisine from Executive Chef Dion Morales is the Rice Cracker Crusted King Salmon on a bed of edamame with bacon lardons, teasmoked dashi and sweet cipollini onions; and the Spice Rubbed Swordfish, which rests on a soba-noodle salad with an orange sesame vinaigrette. Other favorites include the Pan Seared Halibut, Confit Duck Leg and Seared Diver Scallops. Baumann revealed he recently signed a 40-year lease for Bali Hai and his family’s other establishment, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse.

If you hear an onion ring, answer it!

J

une 22 will bring a tear to my eye as I celebrate National Onion Ring Day. Let’s peel away the layers and see what’s beneath this scrumptious, savory rival to the French fry. Onions are small bulbs having delicate tissues, so they do not leave trace fossil evidence for botanists and archaeologists to determine their origins or time of birth. Food historians believe onions have been cultivated for more than 5,000 years, one of the earliest and heartiest crops, adaptable to a variety of soils and climates. The origins of the onion ring, however, are quite recent with no one source laying a solid claim to its creation. In the early 1900s, Fannie Farmer published a recipe for “fried onions” in the “Fort Wayne Indiana Sentinel.” Then in 1933 a Crisco ad appearing in The New York Times Magazine included a recipe for deep-fried onion rings dipped in milk then dredged in flour. But fried onion rings were officially launched at the first drive-in restaurants — the Texas Pig stands (a thriving chain restaurant in Oak Cliff, Texas) in the 1920s. While around that time, restaurants in the Big Apple were slicing sweet Bermudas thinly, battering the rings and then frying them as a savory change up from the popular French fried potato to attract the cosmopolitan palates of New York diners. Fast food chains, including A&W and

Burger King, added onion rings to their menus in the 1960s and ’70s, while Aussie’s Outback Steakhouse did a riff with the “bloomin’ onion,” an onion on steroids battered and deep-fried whole, artfully sliced to resemble petals of a blooming flower, accompanied by its signature mayonnaise chili dipping sauce! High-end steak houses, microbreweries and burger joints serve onion rings in loaves, strings, towers or pyramids, or cups stuffed with creamed kale (Ruth’s Chris). The coatings range from classic beer batters to tempura, cornmeal and panko breadcrumbs. While the onion is a healthful member of the lily family, loaded with potassium, folate, Vitamins A, B6 and C, dietary fiber, and rich in odoriferous sulfur compounds found to lower blood lipids and blood pressure, when those crispy little things come out of the deep fryer, a transformation occurs. The mighty onion, which is naturally sodium-, fat- and cholesterol-free, after frying packs on calories, carbs, cholesterol and fat. Below, are a pair of recipes, one classic fried for those who love the onion ring unconditionally, foibles and all, the other baked and lean for the cholesteroland calorie-conscious with a dipping sauce to dial up both versions. — For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Classic Fried Onion Rings •1 large sweet onion, (Vidalia or Maui), peeled, sliced 1/2-inch thick, separated into rings • 1 cup pastry flour • 1/2 cup dark beer • 1/4 cup sparkling water • 1/2 cup buttermilk • 1/4 teaspoon each of mustard powder and cayenne • 1 egg white • Sea salt and black pepper to taste • 1 cup milk • 1 tablespoon of grapeseed or canola oil and extra for frying n Method: In a large bowl, soak the onion rings in milk for 10 minutes. In a food processor, blend the beer, water, buttermilk, oil, and seasonings. Gradually add the flour until a smooth pancake batter consistency forms. Blend in the egg. Drain the onions and dip in the batter. In a large skillet heat 1/4- to 1/2-inch of oil. Fry the rings until golden, turning only once. Drain on paper towel. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

Oven Crisp Onion Rings •1 large sweet onion, sliced 1/2-inch thick, separated into rings • 3/4 cup unbleached flour • 1/2 cup buttermilk • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs • 1 egg, beaten • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika • 1/4 teaspoon each of mustard powder and cayenne • Sea salt and black pepper to taste • 2 tablespoons olive oil n Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper

greased lightly with olive oil. Make an assembly line with 3 shallow bowls. The first with 1/2 cup of flour, the second with the remaining flour blended with buttermilk and egg, while the third with the breadcrumbs and seasonings. Dip the rings in the flour, then in the batter, last in the breadcrumbs. Line the rings single-file on the baking sheet, and bake for about 15 minutes or until crispy and golden.

Dipping Sauce • • • •

1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream Juice from half a lemon 2 teaspoons Cajun Spice Blend (Zatarain’s Creole Spice Mix) • 1 tablespoon ketchup n Method: Blend ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate before serving.

Cook’s Tips n Reduce teary-eyes by chilling onions for one hour before prepping. Cut off the top and leave the root end intact as this contains the densest amount of eyestinging sulphuric compounds. n Don’t buy onions with soft spots, wet patches or blemishes. The outer skin should be dry and smooth.

Sneaking in some veggies

Former Kashi employee launches nutrient-packed chocolate drink for kids By Pat Sherman As an employee of La Jolla-based Kashi breakfast cereal company, Allison Fowler learned the natural foods industry insideand-out — helping market the company’s snack line, including everything from granola and energy bars to crackers. She even starred in a Kashi cereal commercial. “I just became really passionate about natural, organic foods,” said Fowler, a Bird Rock resident who, as an employee of Miller Brewing Company, helped launch Miller 64, the lowest calorie beer on the market. After leaving Kashi last year (the cerealmaker has since relocated to its parent company headquarters in Battle Creek, Mich.), Fowler and another former Kashi employee, Charlie Philp, came up with an idea to make vegetables more palatable to children. “If you look at statistics, twothirds of children aren’t getting their daily vegetables,” Fowler said. “We got together and said, ‘There’s a real need to make vegetables more accessible, to make them more fun and friendly for kids.” Tinkering around in Fowler’s kitchen, she and Philp began to blend various veggies with chocolate milk, to mask their earthy, bitter taste. The result was Sneakz Organic — a chocolate milk drink containing a “deliciously disguised,” full serving of vegetables in each eight-ounce, lunchboxready carton. Though they had experimented with vegetables from spinach and celery to beets and kale, the final product contains a palatable blend of sweet potatoes, carrots and broccoli in a milkshake made with sweet Dutch cocoa. To get the taste just right, and, as Fowler puts it, turn children’s “yuck faces to yum

More than a year after their kitchen tastetesting, Sneakz is available on shelves at 350 stores around the country (mostly in Southern California and Denver). In San

There is just too much stuff, even in bars that are marketed as ‘healthy’ that are overly processed, and when you have those overly processed ingredients, your body doesn’t know what to do.” Quinoa protein provides sustained energy and good flavor, Cooke said, making it ideal for breakfast, before running errands or exercising. — Ashley Mackin

She advises others starting a business to be prepared for such setbacks. “When you’re in the ■ sneakz.com system of a big corporate marketing machine, everything is that much easier, because you have specialists along the way that are helping you with each (step),” Fowler said. “When you’re doing it on your own, you come across stumbling blocks and you have to figure out solutions on the fly.” Financing Sneakz Organic also proved challenging, she said. “The venture capital firms we talked to have certain size requirements … from an annual revenue standpoint,” she said. In the end, Fowler and her partner reached out to friends, family members and angel investors to get their concept off the ground. “That’s something that I think every start-up faces as they get going,” she said.

Opening Friday

Two artists spin perceptions at Athenaeum exhibitions From Athenaeum Reports

An opening reception for “Echoes” by Tom Driscoll, and “Bound” by Lisa Venditelli, will be held 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, June 21 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. The public is invited to attend the free event. “Echoes” A native of San Diego, Driscoll has exhibited at Quint Gallery and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, among many others. His interest in molds and sculpture in cast cement has led to this current body of work. In a press release advancing the exhibit, Driscoll writes, “The core thought running through the selection of work presented here is the use of discarded industrial packaging to make art. “I developed an interest in found molds during longtime employment as a night custodian at a Scripps oceanographic research lab, where on a regular basis, Styrofoam and plastic packaging materials that were originally used to protect products during shipping were discarded in a recycling bin. I appropriated the discarded shapes for my art interests.” “Echoes” will be on display through July 27 in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery. “Bound” Venditelli’s “Bound” will be on display in the Rotunda

Gallery, also through July 27. This collection of her work was metaphorically and literally constrained by the verb, noun and adjective, “bound.” Addressing social concerns, particularly women’s issues and religion, objects like high heel shoes or bibles are bound by thread, gauze, nylon and sausage casings, or suspended in silicon. Of this body of work, Venditelli said, “How many aspects of binding reveal themselves in these simple pieces; how revealing might this be to you, the observer, overcoming the bounds of your initial reflexive reaction to familiar objects in unfamiliar form?” Venditelli received a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design and an M.F.A. from Mills College. She has exhibited locally at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Lux Art Institute, and David Zapf Gallery and nationally at the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, the Holter Museum of Art in Montana and the Museo Italo Americano in San Francisco. Her work has also been selected for several of the Athenaeum’s juried exhibitions. The Athenaeum is closed on Sunday and Monday, but open to the public 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. For more information, call (858) 454-5872, or visit ljathenaeum.org

TEAKWAREHOUSE

By Ashley Mackin The Friends of the International Center at UC San Diego continued their tradition of hospitality and academic support and awarded more than 50 scholarships to International Center students at their annual dinner on May 21. The FIC is a support and hospitality group for students attending UCSD from overseas, and for students planning to travel and study abroad. At the dinner, students mingled with each other, their friends and families, and faculty and staff. “It’s a very nice informal, but structured mix of different generations and people from different backgrounds and different positions, getting together,” said FIC founder Ruth Newmark, chair of the scholarship committee. The FIC selection committee

received more than 200 applications for scholarships. “All of our scholarship recipients are academic achievers, and then we pick on the basis of things other than academics, like volunteer work or that they have an outlook we feel would well represent us, the university and the United States,” she said. The scholarship money is mostly raised through the FIC Resale Shop, and UCSD matches most of what FIC earns. Volunteers staff the Resale Shop, which is open to the public, and many volunteers are the spouses of international students. “These are women who may be professionals in their own right, but who do not have the necessary permit to work in the United States,” Newmark said. “These young women

volunteer in our shop to meet people and practice their English. Shoppers find these interactions equally rewarding, and some of the faithful often stop in simply to chat.” The store sells clothing, accessories, small household goods, books and gifts. Newmark said while she is glad people shop at the resale boutique, the people who are most grateful are the students. Upon learning of her scholarship, Soracha Thamphiwatana, a Ph.D. candidate in nano-engineering said, “By awarding me the Friends Scholarship, you have lightened my financial burden, which allows me to focus more on my research. Your generosity has inspired me to help students achieve their goals, just as you have helped me.”

MADISON GALLERY is pleased to present London- based artist Mauro Perucchetti with his solo exhibition: “The Power of Love”

Born in Milan in 1949, Perucchetti has come to his art from a background in design, architecture, and extensive travel. Mauro Perucchetti matches social critique with Pop aesthetics in his art, and his work demonstrates his astonishing skill, style, and wit. A pop artist for the 21st century, Mauro incorporates familiar icons of today’s culture. Both a master craftsman and a social commentator with his finger on the pulse of contemporary society, Mauro produces innovative and beautifully executed work with a message. His experiments with resins put him at the cutting edge of contemporary art and he is one of very few artists confronting some of the most fundamental issues of our day. Perucchetti’s use of quotidian objects refers back to the artists of the 60’s; to Warhol’s Brillo Boxes and Jasper Johns Targets and Beer Cans. His work shifts away from the commercialism of Pop Art, employing a process that is more oblique; moving the object from a functional role into that of a work of art. In this way he also has links back to the commodity artists of the 80’s such as Jeff Koons. At the same time the sparseness of form and the repetition of modular elements in his work seen especially in his abstract piece “Nothing Stands Still”, places him firmly in the tradition of minimalist sculpture with an emphasis on the symbolic value of objects.

Exhibition:

August 24, 2013 through September 24, 2013

opEning REcEption:

Saturday, August 24, 2013 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

UnicUM - In his new body of artwork, Perucchetti has manipulated his staple resin material resulting in new, sculptural ways of displaying his art. These sculptures are individual testaments to the medium from which they are formed – matchless in their chemical composition, form, color, texture, and size. Yet together, they exemplify a serious achievement for the artist, cementing his place within the canon of Contemporary Art. “A celebration of color, form, and technique, elements which are present in all art, UnicUM has a very unique fingerprint.” – Mauro Perucchetti

Perucchetti’s work also parallels with the Young British Artist, Damien Hirst, in the way he uses common objects to such dramatic effect. Hirst’s fascination with component parts, pills, butterfly wings, and cigarettes, systemically arranged in neat patterns are echoed in Perucchetti’s use of rows of brightly colored pills and apples. Perucchetti responds to the bright attractive side of Hirst’s work, its formal rhythms and vibrant colors and, more obliquely, to its darker streak. As with Hirst, an ironic sense of humor runs through his work, but while his humor seems lighter it avoids their destructive, gritty, visceral element by deliberately maintaining impeccable aesthetics and a sense of clinical order that belies something colder and impenetrable. The late 1960’s saw artists rejecting the restrictions of canvas and conventional sculptural practices and have since come to work with a huge variety of media but Perucchetti’s use of polyurethane resins is pioneering. It has taken him years of experimenting to get to the stage where he can make this volatile liquid stable enough to use on such a large scale. Resin has an innate instability and is even more difficult to control when foreign materials are bedded within it. Like prehistoric insects captured in the sticky ooze of the amber resin that killed them while preserving them, Perucchetti entraps his objects for all time.

Contemporary art exhibit explores alternate realities By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt he Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla celebrated an invasion of otherworldly art at the members’ opening of “Approximately Infinite Universe” on June 7. The works explore ideas about time and space travel, aliens, historical re-visions, futuristic cities, and the best (and worst) of all possible worlds. The show takes its title from a 1973 album of the same name by Yoko Ono, the now 80-year-old avant-gardist whose 1966 video installation, “Sky TV,” is on display with multiple small screens framing views of the outdoor sky via live-feed cameras. Ono’s album

T

cover is recreated in a drawing done three decades later by Andrea Bowers, a feminist artist based in Los Angeles. “Approximately Infinite Universe” features an array of styles and subjects, including paintings, photographs and sculptures, along with film installations inspired by the works of NASA, sci-fi writers, Walt Disney and one artist’s schizophrenic mother. To accompany the exhibit, the museum will have special events like movies and music, 5-8 p.m. Thursday evenings with food trucks outside and at 6:15 p.m. July 11, a screening of Chris Marker’s 1962 time-travel classic, “La Jetée.”

There are none so deaf as those who don’t listen — ‘Tribes’ muses If you go ■ What: ‘Tribes’ ■ When: Matinees, evenings June 25-July 21. ASL interpreted performances June 30; July 9, 19, 21 ■ Where: Mandell Weiss Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UC San Diego campus ■ Tickets: From: $15 ■ Box Office: (858) 550-1010 ■ Website: LaJollaPlayhouse.org Nina Raine’s ‘Tribes’ delves into how society communicates. “I found the play gripping right from the beginning,” Fishburn said. “Much of what happens in the play I experienced … I had a profound sense of recognition about not hearing and not listening, as many times growing up, I was not proficient (enough to know) what was being signed, so I was also not part of my family’s tribe.” As Billy mingles out in the community, he connects with Daniel (Thomas DellaMonica), Sylvia (Meghan O’Neill), Beth (Lee Roy Rogers), Christopher (Jeff Still) and Ruth (Dina Thomas), who all help him discover a new tribe and a new world. Fishburn said she could identify with the character of Billy. She was a sign language interpreter in the 1970s, and worked in various situations from hospital settings to an auto body shop helping a deaf man who fixed cars. Her uncle started a deaf club called “The Union League,” and she would

Courtesy

join her relatives there to see performances of dancers, actors and magic acts. “My experience goes right to the theme of ‘Tribes,’ about those who once belonged to the hearing world, then lost their hearing and had to integrate themselves into the culture (of the deaf),” Fishburn said. Most of the cast appeared in the OffBroadway production of “Tribes,” along with director David Cromer, who was at the helm. “We were so fortunate to have David come here as the original director of this play,” Fishburn said. “He created a very realistic environment that takes place around the dining-room table, and includes directions and subtitles that are shown. It’s a brilliant scene that demonstrates three different ways to communicate.” Those who are unaware of the challenges of being deaf will find the play just as intriguing as those who are familiar with

the issues, Fishburn said. “The play’s subject is universal; we all yearn to listen, to have a voice and be understood by our family. In families with hearing impairment, both sides want to be able to communicate with each other. This play shows the different ways we do — or do not — communicate by the way we hear, listen and see.” Fishburn added it’s not just a topic for folks dealing with deafness; in today’s world with all the distractions of cell phones, iPads and just too much going on, we all often fall into the category of not listening or fully understanding. “I belong to a theater tribe and I’m the child of a deaf adult tribe,” Fishburn said. “We all belong to different tribes in our daily lives, and that’s why this play will resonate with people from all walks of life.”

GRAHAM BLAIR

By Diana Saenger When San Diegans hear the word “tribes,” they think Native American Indians living nearby. However, the word represents a much broader concept — communities, societies, particular groups within a society, families. That’s the theme of La Jolla Playhouse’s upcoming production of “Tribes” by playwright Nina Raine and directed by David Cromer. An acerbic, yet comical look at family dynamics, “Tribes” was nominated for the 2010 Olivier Award for Best Play and was the winner of the 2012 Drama Desk and New York Critics Circle Awards. Billy (Russell Shirley Fishburn, La Harvard) is deaf and Jolla Playhouse’s director of new play struggles to keep up with a family that development and resident dramaturg spends its time obsessing over its own individualities and seeking the attention of others. Billy’s lip-reading skills leave him out of the loop and drive him to go outside his home “tribe” to find fulfillment. Shirley Fishburn, the Playhouse’s Director of New Play Development and Resident Dramaturg, said she grew up with two deaf parents and two deaf aunts, so when she first saw “Tribes” in New York, she was totally enthralled.

wo stretches of the median on Colima Street, just west of Beaumont Avenue, are maintained by a La Jolla resident who lives on the southwest corner of Beaumont and Colima — you’ll recognize the house by the dozens and dozens potted roses and flowers in his front yard. He maintains this median all year long. Right now, it’s brilliantly colorful! Since it sits right at the entrance to Birdrock Elementary School, it’s a neighborhood treasure and a bright welcome to the students every day. I’m sure the neighborhood joins me in thanking him for his much-appreciated efforts. — John Dowd

true or false? Around June 20 or 21, we experience the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year. True. North of the equator, the Earth is tilted toward the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter. The solstice marks the turning point, when the days begin to grow longer (in winter) or when they begin to grow shorter (in summer). At the solstice itself, however, the sun appears to stand still in the sky for a few days before and after. The word solstice comes from the Latin for “sun stands still.” — Reference.com

Research Report LynnE Friedmann

Decreasing ER wait times

T

he past two decades have seen emergency department (ED) overcrowding become a major problem nationwide that increases patient risk and decreases patient satisfaction with emergency services. In an attempt to address the issue, a pilot study at UC San Diego Health System’s ED is using telemedicine as a way to help address overcrowding and decrease patient wait times. When the ED becomes busy, an offsite doctor is paged who then remotely links to a telemedicine station at the hospital. Guided by high-fidelity sound and video, the telemedicine physician can examine a patient’s eyes, ears, nose, throat and skin, as well as listen to heart and lung through the module. Laboratory and imaging tests can be ordered and results reviewed. As a final step, an onsite attending physician reassesses the patient to confirm findings and actions, as well as address any

unanswered patient questions. The study, called Emergency Department Telemedicine Initiative to Rapidly Accommodate in Times of Emergency (EDTITRATE), is the first of its kind in California. Six rooms in the Hillcrest ED can currently accommodate the telemedicine module. If the use of a telemedicine evaluation can be shown to be safe and effective, it may shift how care in the emergency department is delivered. — More information at http://bit.ly/ 170gUVo

Growth and ripening of plants An international group of scientists, led by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, have traced the thousands of genes in a plant that are activated once ethylene gas is released. Ethylene, known as the “ripening hormone,” is responsible for changes in texture, softening, color and other processes involved in fruit and

plant ripening. The researchers looked at what happens in Arabidopsis thaliana – a plant related to cabbage and mustard – after ethylene caused activation of a master transcription factor that controls gene expression. They found that thousands of genes in the plant responded. Because ethylene functions as a key hormone in all plants, knowing the genes ethylene activates will enable researchers to pinpoint and manipulate key genes and proteins that can ultimately lead to new crop strains able to slow down growth when needed, accelerate or prevent ripening, retard rotting or make plants more resistant to disease. — Findings appear in the journal eLIFE. News release at http://bit.ly/12FNZVa

Brain’s “dark side” key to cocaine addiction Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found evidence that an emotion-related brain region called the central amygdala — whose activity promotes feelings of malaise and unhappiness — plays a major role in sustaining cocaine addiction. In experiments with rats, TSRI

researchers found signs that cocaineinduced changes in this brain system contribute to anxiety-like behavior and other unpleasant symptoms of drug withdrawal — symptoms that typically drive an addict to keep using. When the researchers blocked specific receptors in this brain region, the rats’ signs of addiction abated. The finding represents an alternative to the pleasure-seeking, “positive” motivational circuitry that is traditionally emphasized in addiction. While changes in pleasure-seeking brain networks may dominate the early period of drug use, scientists have been finding evidence of changes in the “negative” motivational circuitry as well — changes that move a person to take a drug not for its euphoric effects but for its (temporary) alleviation of the anxiety of drug withdrawal. When this brain change occurs, it marks the transition to more persistent drug dependency. — The study is published in the journal Biological Psychiatry. News release at http://bit.ly/19rra9m Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

FRANCE, aka SUSAN HENDERSON FRANCE, aka SUSAN HENDERSON BRAMMER, Decedent NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Susan H. France, aka Susan Henderson France, aka Susan Henderson Brammer To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of SUSAN H. FRANCE, aka SUSAN HENDERSON FRANCE, aka SUSAN HENDERSON BRAMMER. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Frederick Michael France, aka Mike France in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego. The Petition for Probate requests that Frederick Michael France, aka Mike France be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: August 1, 2013 Time: 1:30 p.m. Dept.: PC-2. Address of court: same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: W.

From Guide Dogs, B1

Marianna Allgauer (left) gets to see first-hand some of the training Nike is getting from puppy-raiser Vicki Cesario to become a service dog. Courtesy

“Marianna allows our organization to continue going forward,” Laidlaw said. “Without those donations, we wouldn’t be here.” Guide Dogs of the Desert does not receive state nor federal funding. To become the “eyes” for their human, selected puppies are continuously exposed to a variety of stimuli so that nothing startles them and they are able to ignore distractions. The trainers take the pups everywhere they go — the doctor’s office, church, work and school. “Guide dogs are taught to go from point A to point B and either stop at objects that are in their way or walk around them,” Laidlaw explained. For example, if a dog is walking and there is a curb or a stair, the dog stops and the person realizes there is a change he or she needs to investigate. “The dogs are taught to avoid cars at all costs, though a blind person must still listen for the flow of traffic to determine if it’s safe to cross. If an owner tells the dog to go forward, the dog will obey, unless it would put them in harm’s way. If there was a car coming, the dog is not going to go. We call that intelligent disobedience,” Laidlaw said. To train the dogs to avoid cars, trainers use a test car that emits sound, along with a more silent Prius. After months of training, the dog is paired with an applicant, and they work together for a month at the Palm Springs facility to get used to each other. “Few people would have the focus and discipline these dogs have,” Allgauer joked. Approximately 70 percent of the dogs that Guide Dogs of the Desert trains go on to be eyes for the blind. Those that don’t, go on to work with autistic children, veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, search and rescue teams, and other

Guide Dogs of the Desert ■ Established: 1972 ■ Mission: To improve the lives of the blind by creating opportunities for life-changing independence, companionship and increased safety, and by conducting community outreach and education programs. ■ Number of dogs trained so far: 1,300 ■ Breed best-suited to serve: Labrador Retriever, though breeds depend on client’s needs ■ Cost for training: $35,000 from birth to retirement ■ Best Way to donate: GDDCA.org or guidedogsofthedesert.org ■ Mailing Address: P.O. Box 1692, Palm Springs, CA 92263 ■ Phone: (760) 329-6257 groups who need their help. Laidlaw said they are one of two training facilities that breed allergen-free poodles. “There are a lot of people out there who are legally blind and would like to get a guide dog and haven’t been able to until the poodles (came),” she said. Allgauer recently got to meet Nike, one of the dogs she sponsored, for his birthday at the La Valencia Hotel. Admittedly enamored with Nike, Allgauer said she loves all dogs, especially when they learn to be of service. “I think all dogs are amazing, but the dogs that are able to go to the next level are the truly exceptional ones,” she said.
