Seagull chick behind lifeguard tower delay

By Ashley Mackin Although the harbor seal pupping season ended May 15, construction on the Children’s Pool lifeguard tower must remain on pause to accommodate another baby animal — a seagull chick born at the site that hasn’t yet learned to fly.

Per Department of Fish and Game code section 3503, “It is unlawful to take, A young seagull unable possess, or needlessly to fly yet is living in the destroy the nest or construction zone at eggs of any bird …”

By Pat Sherman A dedication was held June 13 for Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s (SIO) new research support facility at Seaweed Canyon (below the Birch Aquarium). The complex of three new prefabricated buildings provides space for assembly and staging support for the institution’s ocean, earth and atmospheric science at sea and in the field.

Addressing those in attendance, SIO Director Margaret Leinen said the facilities are “essential for our ocean research,” which she called the institution’s “most endearing legacy.”

“To be able to work in any part of the ocean, and to be able to stage for that is just an essential part of the history of this institution,” she said.

“It’s been very tough for people to put things like that together without these facilities.”

Cracked benches along La Jolla Shores need care

T

he benches along the boardwalk at La Jolla Shores are deteriorating. They are used and appreciated by the old and the young — La Jollans, San Diegans and tourists alike. It is shameful to have them neglected and ugly-looking.

With so much expensive renewal of streets, facilities, lifeguard towers, sewers, etc., in this area, why not spend some money on keeping up the benches? Who is in charge?

Marianne Burkenroad La Jolla

La Jolla Light looked into who is in charge of upkeep on “donated” or “memorial” benches and found that the City of San Diego Park & Rec Department maintains the benches and repairs them when needed … and when possible.

Park & Rec District Manager Dan Daneri said there are

grounds maintenance crews out cleaning the boardwalk regularly and when they see a bench in need of repair, they put in an internal request.

However, due to staffing changes and reduced staff, there are fewer crew members and more tasks to do, so there has been a delay in getting these benches repaired. Further, if there is not an immediate hazard, the work falls further down the list of priorities.

When city crews are able to fix a crack or chip, they apply a gray epoxy over the damaged area. Daneri said paint would not stick to the epoxy, so crews do not paint over the repairs to match the surrounding bench.

When damaged beyond repair, the city will replace the benches entirely, keeping any donor plaques so they may be re-installed on the new bench. Each bench at the Shores is a donor bench with a plaque.

The cracks are caused by the rebar within the bench rusting. When the rebar rusts, it swells, cracking the bench surfaces. “The repairs add years to the life of the benches,” Daneri said. u — Ashley Mackin

The filmmakers and several of those appearing in the film — from surfers to scholars — will answer audience questions after the screening.

Among those interviewed for the story is Ryan Levinson, a San Diego ocean sports athlete and activist who in 1996 was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a degenerative muscle wasting disease.

“He was (attending) San Diego State, just living the life, lifeguarding, doing all this real manly stuff and they told him, ‘You’ve

got to learn keypunch or something useful because you’re going to be wheelchairbound,” Kavanagh said. “He left the office saying, ‘Man, if I’m going out, I’m going to go out doing what I love,’ so he went fullboard for the next year and a half doing skydiving, mountain climbing, every single thing you could do.”

Polynesia (a group of islands that includes Tahiti). The couple plans to leave after hurricane season in November. People can track their progress at TwoAFloat.com or via RyanLevinson.com “They’re expert sailors, but this is a massive trip compared to what they’ve done,” Kavanagh said.

Kavanagh also interviewed Brett McBride, a childhood surfing buddy and La Jolla native who today works with the nonprofit seagoing organization, OCEARCH, which implants tracking devices on great white sharks and other top ocean predators. The tracking devices allow researchers and institutions to generate previously unattainable data on the movement, biology and health of sharks to protect their future, while enhancing public safety and education.

Though he grew up fishing and spearfishing, spending more than 20 years in Cabo San Lucas, in the film McBride says he didn’t realize until recently how much pressure humans are putting on sharks, which play a crucial role as balance-keepers of the oceans’ ecosystems.

One of OCEARCH’s main objectives is to gather enough research to convey to governments how the practice of shark finning is decimating global shark populations, with the goal of creating laws that ban shark finning and other practices, such as the use of gill nets. It is estimated that 73 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone, to make a soup that is served in Chinese culture to convey prestige.

After the shark’s fin is cut off, the rest of the animal is thrown into the ocean and left to die. Particularly vulnerable are hammerhead,

‘What the Sea Gives Me’ filmmakers Pierce and Petra Kavanagh Sangiolo Images Galapagos and blue sharks.

“If you cut the shark fin off … you’re keeping only about 1 percent of the shark so you don’t have to head back to port and offload (as frequently) … so they’re just wiping out sharks at an unprecedented rate,” said Capt.

McBride, who with OCEARCH founder Chris Fischer also appeared in the popular reality TV series, “Offshore Adventures.”

“As I talk to more scientists and fishermen about what their areas have been seeing as far as damage to the ecosystem, it’s real apparent that this is one of the biggest problems the ocean has,” McBride added, noting that, in many areas what is left to flourish in the absence of sharks, is squid.

“Every night squid come to the surface and eat the fry (baby fish) relentlessly — marlin, tuna, swordfish. … Those fish would grow up to be squid eaters, so when you start removing them there’s double-fold less pressure on the squid. It’s really tipping the

balance of the ecosystem and the ocean in ways that the local fishermen catching the sharks have no grasp of.”

Also interviewed for the film is La Jolla resident Water Munk, a professor of geophysics emeritus at Scripps Institution of Oceanograpy. In the film, Munk recounts his pioneering research on the passage of waves and wave energy across the Pacific.

“The sea level rise is probably the greatest peril to people — and there are questions as to whether the changing alkalinity is going to be a correlating peril to sea life,” Munk cautions in the film. “There are people who are skeptics about climate change. I’m not one of them. I’m convinced by the evidence that there are very significant changes taking place … (that are) going to very much effect people in the next 100 years.”

Following the world-premiere of “What the Sea Gives Me,” Kavanagh and his wife will hit the road in an RV to screen their film in cities across the country, including stops at many film festivals.

This is the second documentary for the former La Jolla restaurant employee and selfdescribed “surf and snowboard bum” turned auteur who returned to school in his 30s to earn a film degree from UC San Diego.

His first film, 2011’s “Manufacturing Stoke,” was selected to screen in 24 international film festivals within 12 months of its release.

“Since our first film did well, a lot of festivals are already requesting it just sight unseen, which is really neat,” said Kavanagh, a graduate of St. Augustine Catholic High School who grew up blocks from the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla.

Perpetual Limbo

Partially remodeled Soledad home sits unfinished for a decade

By Pat Sherman A five-bedroom Mt. Soledad home that has remained in partial stages of a remodel for nearly a decade has raised the ire of neighbors in the hillside subdivision of La Jolla Corona Estates (Unit No. 2) — the structure’s blue tarps and exposed frame an ongoing mystery visible to passersby from La Jolla Boulevard below.

Michael Flood is administer of the subdivision’s architectural committee, formed in 1957 to establish a “Declaration of Restrictions,” similar to the covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) placed on a group of homes by a builder, developer or neighborhood association (in this case, particularly to protect coastal views).

Flood said neighbors refer to the unfinished home at 5954 La Jolla Corona Drive as “the eyesore property.”

Although several residents have asked that his committee urge the city to take action, the architectural committee has no enforcement authority and only reviews applications for approval of projects, he said.

“The issue is not what they’re building. It’s that they’re taking forever to do it, which the architectural committee doesn’t have any say in — even though we hate it,” Flood said, noting that he could find no record that the property owner submitted plans to his committee for approval of the work when the project began in 2006.

A view of the unfinished home remodel at 5954 La Jolla Corona Drive “If another property owner believes the restrictions are being violated, they must bring legal action,” Flood said.

Two other neighbors who spoke with La Jolla Light, but asked that their names not be used, said they have reached out to the city for years to take action against the woman who owns the unfinished, 5,600-square-foot home and still lives there (the woman did not respond to the Light’s request for comment by press time, conveying to a worker on site that she was not feeling well).

Neighbors say the city has renewed her development permits, allowing periodic work to continue at a snail’s pace, creating

“Whenever she was going to do something she’d plant trees — and nothing for the house,” said one neighbor, who is among several homeowners on the street attempting to sell their property, and fear the unfinished home could reduce property values.

“I’ve talked to her before and she says, ‘Well, I don’t have the money to finish’ — and that was like three years ago,” the woman said. “I don’t understand how the city can let this go on for 10 years.”

Following neighbors’ frequent calls to the

office of District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner and other city departments, it appears that the city is finally ready to take action.

Lynda Pfeifer, a supervising public information officer with the city’s code enforcement department, said that on May 20 code enforcement opened a case on the project. Pfeifer said there had been no city inspections of the property since the last development permit was issued in December 2012 (which has since expired), adding that code enforcement was expected to return to the property this week and issue a violation notice in accordance with San Diego Municipal Code Section 129.0219(e).

“The assigned inspector will monitor for compliance with deadlines set forth in the notice,” Pfeifer explained, via e-mail.

“Compliance will require either completion of the project within 90 days of the date of the notice or demolition within 180 days of the notice.”

Failure to comply with the notice and time frames will result in the case being referred to the city attorney’s office for further enforcement action, including “the use of judicial remedies to move the property to productive use,” Pfeifer said.

During a visit to the property this week, several workers could be seen behind a locked gate at the property entrance, one of which told the Light the home would be finished in two months. u

Crime in Bird Rock topic of community council meeting

By Ashley Mackin During the July 1 Bird Rock Community Council meeting, acting Northern Division Police Lt. Ernesto Servin addressed recent crime trends and recommended action to prevent and report those crimes. Although he focused on vandalism, vehicle thefts and burglaries, questions about summer parties and noise complaints were also put forth.

property was tagged with large letters visible only from the ocean.

“This is not your typical graffiti perpetrator, someone took time to do this,” she said. “Surfers were calling me asking if I knew this was on the sea wall.” She contacted the city soon after the alerts, but has decided to personally cover the cost to have the sea wall painted.

Vandalism Servin said vandalism and graffiti crimes are challenging to solve. “It is really difficult to identify suspects unless there’s some physical evidence, a witness who actually sees the crime occurring, or anything left behind by the perpetrator,” he said.

In the event someone sees the act as it is happening, Servin said police classify that as a “crime in progress,” so witnesses can call 911.

“Make sure you are in a safe location where (the perpetrators) cannot hear you; and call us with as much information and as detailed a description as you can,” he said.

“Sometimes people get irritated because of all the questions police ask … but we ask those questions for the officer’s safety and for your safety as well. We want to identify the suspects and determine if they are armed or if they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

“For the officers responding to these calls, it’s like they have a blindfold on, so we want to paint the best picture we can for them.”

Potential questions might include: What wall are they tagging? What type of building

Thefts and Break-ins In the weeks leading up to the meeting, there were three vehicle thefts in Bird Rock over a two-week period, which Servin said seemed high, so he looked into it. In all three cases, the keys were left in the vehicle.

In one case, the windows were rolled down, which combined with keys being left inside, he said, is an “invitation” to take the car. Another incident involved a burglar entering the garage, where the car was kept.

In a third incident the vehicle was recovered the same evening it was taken.

There were also reports of residential burglaries, in one of which, the perpetrator posed as an AT&T employee to gain access to the home. After the burglar left, the victims noticed jewelry was missing. Similar situations involve a burglar dressed as a city employee.

Servin advised residents who see someone in the neighborhood going door to door in what appears to be solicitation or a scam, to call the non-emergency police line at (619) 531-2000.

“Let us know you think someone is casing the neighborhood — and that’s the key word

The seawall near a Bird Rock home is tagged with large letters. Courtesy is it? If it’s glass, do suspects have an etching instrument that could be used as a weapon against the officer?

If someone notices graffiti or vandalism after the fact — as did at least one attendee — they are encouraged to report it on the city’s website: sandiego.gov/citycouncil/cd1/ requests/index.shtml They can also submit evidence, such as photos, to Northern Division. “Depending on the damage, it can be classified as a felony, so file a report with pictures and we’ll include it in our report,” Servin said.

Bird Rock resident Joyce Snell, who was not at the meeting but spoke to La Jolla Light, said the sea wall at the end of her

here: ‘casing’ the neighborhood,” he said.

Noisy Summers With the anticipation of summer parties, Lt. Servin answered questions about noise complaint protocol. To file a complaint, he said to call the non-emergency line and say someone or something is disturbing the peace.

“If someone is disturbing your peace, it doesn’t matter what time it is (and doesn’t have to be past a certain hour), give us a call. But you have to be willing to sign a complaint, and the reporting address has to be within 50 feet of where the noise is coming from,” he said. If all those terms are met, officers can issue a citation.

From Seaweed Canyon, A1 Leinen said staging for Scripps’ ocean expeditions requires considerable space, as some of the ships’ anchors are the size of small car, and buoys can be the size of a small truck.

“For cruises there might be four, five, seven or 10 of those,” she said, noting that “every single group within Scripps Institution of Oceanography — biology, earth science, chemistry, physical oceanography, acoustics — all use these facilities.”

For their assistance helping fund the nearly $7 million facility revamp, UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla thanked former state Senator Denise Ducheny (who was in attendance), as well as state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, who Khosla said was in Sacramento “in the middle of another deal to send us a little more money for (UCSD’s) brain mapping initiative.”

“Even though we think of them as cutting our budgets most of the time,” Khosla quipped, “without their help, without their vision, without their strategic thinking, we would not be the proud owners of this great facility. … This is an extremely precious space, and it’s a well-deserved space.”

Located just off La Jolla Scenic Drive North, Seaweed Canyon has been used to prepare seagoing vessels and store equipment used by scientists and students at UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography since the mid 1960s. Over time, the World War II-surplus structures in Seaweed Canyon became inadequate to support the growing needs of Scripps’ scientists and required replacement.

The new, 24,000-square-foot facility was designed to optimize opportunities for multidisciplinary research and interaction among scientific research disciplines.

More than 40 Scripps researchers use the Seaweed Canyon facilities. u

Little People of America try surfin’ the Shores

By Ashley Mackin hen San Diego native Ryan Gambrell learned the 2014 Little People of America (LPA) conference — held annually in cities across the country — would be held in San Diego, he immediately planned a day of surfing for its dwarf attendees. A surfer since childhood, four-foot-two Gambrell organized lessons for 50 other dwarves on July 7 in La Jolla Shores.

“When you go to San Francisco, you go to the Golden Gate Bridge. When you go to New York, you visit the Statue of Liberty.

When you come to San Diego, you go surfing,” he said, noting that many of the participants had never surfed before and he just wanted them to have fun.

And they did.

Erin Slack from Illinois was one of those first-time surfers. “I was really excited to do this. I love the ocean and the beach, and now I feel like it’s a second home,” she said.

After her time in the water, Sophia Herzog from Colorado said she couldn’t wait to do it again.

Surfing for someone with dwarfism presents a unique set of challenges, Gambrell explained. “If I use a board off the rack for someone my height, it would be made for someone who weighed a lot less than I do, like a child. I weigh more than a kid. So there is a balance between buoyancy and efficiency,” he said. “I learned how to surf on a boogie board. Once I got into the sport, I got custom-made boards because it was helpful to have someone shape a board to my measurements.”

Although there wasn’t custom equipment for the LPA surfers, they had help from surf instructors at Surf Diva, who pushed the boards when the waves were right.

The day at the beach was just one of the many events across San Diego for the LPA

Event coordinator Ryan Gambrell with Surf Diva owners Coco and Izzy Tihanyi conference, which ended July 10 downtown.

Some attendees came for information about medical issues, as different forms of dwarfism come with different medical complications. Others, like Gambrell, attend for the camaraderie. “It’s like reuniting with friends and catching up,” he said. “It’s about celebrating who you are, having a good time and being around friends.” u n Got questions about dwarfism?

My 30 seconds with Hillary ...

By Mary Lou Goldstein have to forget about Hillary. But how can I forget about Hillary? Everywhere I look there’s Hillary. I turn on the television, Hillary is being interviewed. I turn on the radio and who is being interviewed? Hillary.

Perhaps if I retreat to the newspaper she won’t be there. But the subject of the “By The Book” column in The New York Times is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Thanks to that column I now know that she wants to have dinner with William Shakespeare. She must like men named Bill.

Sunday morning is a time for peace and reflection. Surely, I can forget about Hillary then. It’s not possible. Hillary, accompanied by another female role model, Jane Pauley, has come to my home via a Sunday morning program. How can I forget about someone who seems to be everywhere?

I know she wants me to remember her because she’s coming to visit me. To be honest, she’s not coming just to visit me, she’s visiting me and 999 other special people at Warwick’s Bookstore in La Jolla June 25.

But I believe she really wants to meet me and hear my ideas and opinions about the world situation, the world of fashion, and perhaps a few words of wisdom on how she should proceed with her future career options.

••• Tomorrow is the big day! I will meet Hillary in person. Of course there are a few rules that I must adhere to before I can actually approach HRC. I must have the willingness and the stamina to stand in line for at least two hours. I can do that.

I must be empty handed, no purse. That will be a sacrifice. I can do that.

I must purchase a copy of “Hard Choices,” Hillary’s latest book. I can do that.

Not only do I have to buy the book, but I have to be among the first 1,000 purchasers.

I was.

I’ve followed all the rules. Met all the criteria.

I am one of the 1,000!

I

VIEWPOINT Having set my alarm clock to guarantee that I will be on time for the great event, when the alarm sounds in the eerie darkness on Wednesday morning, I spring from my bed. I dress rapidly in my carefully chosen and tasteful outfit. I brush my teeth thoroughly adding a touch of mouthwash to give my breath a minty aroma that will be pleasing to all, especially to Hillary.

In my excitement I’ve almost forgotten to eat breakfast. That is not a good idea. I calm down and prepare my old-fashioned oatmeal. As delicious as it is, I can’t linger over this gourmet treat.

At last I am ready.

I walk briskly and purposefully to the bookstore where Hillary and I are scheduled to meet. I’m greeted warmly by the event organizers who direct me to proceed to the end of the line. The time is now 8:15 a.m. and I’m told people have been in line since 3:30 a.m. You can imagine what a long, long walk it is to the end of the line.

My line companions are all strangers, but gradually we become women united in our anticipation and sense of privilege for being women in a wonderful city in a wonderful nation.

Two hours after joining the line, I’m in the take-off position; only 50 people from contact. The scrutiny of the guests increases in intensity. One final reminder is given — no purses. If holding your purse is more important than interacting with Hillary, you will be banished from the line. Next step, I am examined by a magic wand. No funny beeps emerge from my person, so I’m permitted to enter the hallowed region.

Now that I’m in the store, I’m able to get a glimpse of the area where Hillary is stationed. At last I’m close enough to see her, but we still have to be made aware of a few more rules. Photos can only be taken in a designated spot and that spot is not near

Hillary Clinton came to La Jolla on June 25 to sign copies of her new book, ‘Hard Choices,’ at Warwick’s Bookstore. Pat Sherman or with Hillary. There will be no pictures to share with friends; they’ll just have to believe that I was there. Once again we hear the message that we can have nothing in our hands — and I mean nothing in our hands — when we meet Hillary. If we don’t go along with this edict, there are several Secret Service men who will be happy to escort the offender to a place of disgrace.

••• It’s the magic moment. Hillary and I are face-to-face or as face-to-face as you can be when one is seated and the other is standing at a respectful distance. We bond instantly and it better be instantly because the entire encounter lasted 30 seconds. It was a memorable visit.

We hear that HRC cares about health care.

That is true. The first question (actually the only question) she asked me when we met was “How are you?” and she looked me right in the eye when I gave my answer.

“Great!” I said. Her friendly smile indicated her pleasure with my response. Of course,

she may have been thinking I was one person who was not displeased with the healthcare system and was really trying to stay healthy, so I wouldn’t have to test it.

Displaying her developed communication skills, Hillary thanked me warmly for coming. I responded graciously and thanked her for being there.

What a wonderful 30 seconds it was!

Every second was filled with positive vibes.

What was the cause of this sensation? Was it Hillary? Was it the very positive, polite group of 1,000 people of all ages, sexes, nationalities?

As I walked down the street with her book in my hand, people smiled at me, some stopped to ask if I had seen her. Did I shake her hand? Wasn’t I lucky to have been able to stand in line for hours to have 30 seconds with her? Yes, I was lucky and I’m fortunate to be able to experience a sense of democracy, caring, commitment …

Thank you Hillary for reinforcing my sense of pride in being a woman, being independent, and being an American. u

Passion for Pinot drives new Wine Factor shop

By Marti Gacioch Pinot noir aficionados now have a specialty wine shop to call their own: Wine Factor, the brainstorm of Pat and Bev Hurley. The Hurleys’ passion for pinot noir inspired them to become Internet wine retailers three years ago.

“We’ve always loved wine and have taken many wine-tasting trips and found that we’re both drawn to pinot noirs, our favorite varietal,” Bev Hurley said. “We thought it’d be fun to share that passion with others with Wine Factor specializing in highquality pinot noirs.”

The Hurleys love the versatility of pinot noir. “It pairs easily with so many foods including Thai, Italian, chicken and salmon, and it’s easy to drink and can take on many different flavors — bold and fruity or light and minerally,” Hurley said. “We love all the flavor varieties of pinot noirs and offer them all on our website.”

The Hurleys’ quest for high-quality, small production boutique pinot noirs takes them all over California and Oregon seeking out gems from small wineries.

“We bring back sample bottles for our panel of 11 wine-tasters to try, and they

their site include Fiddlehead Vineyard’s Lollapalooza (bold and fruity); En Route by Far Niente (well-balanced and goes with everything); Au Bon Climat out of the Sta. Rita Hills (a lighter Burgundian style of wine).

The Hurleys post detailed reviews of each of the featured wines that include notes from the winemaker and any ratings from the Wine Spectator or wine critic Robert Parker. They also add their own anecdotal thoughts about each wine.

Wine Factor has a climate-controlled store room for their wines and stores them until they’re at their peak before placing them on their website.

Wine Factor also offers private winetasting parties and gift deliveries and ships nationwide. u

Wine Factor owners Pat and Bev Hurley share their opinions; only wines that make everyone on the panel say ‘wow!’ are selected to be sold on winefactor.com,”

Technology and open discussion can increase participation, diversity in community meetings

By Sherry Nooravi, Ph.D. Principal, Strategy Meets Performance

GUEST COMMENTARY

am writing in response to the article “La Jolla Town Council considers it’s purpose, identity” in the June 19 La Jolla Light. First, I’d like to acknowledge the members of this group for their efforts toward making our community a better place. I also acknowledge the courage they have to take a step back and review the content, structure and attendance of their meetings.

I do agree that having more community members present and creating an environment where issues can truly be debated in a respectful way can be engaging for the community (in any community group setting) while at the same Sherry Nooravi time, help bring out the best potential in our town.

In my work as a business psychologist, one of the biggest challenges I see with senior teams of companies is a discomfort to engage in the important debates that will help shape the company’s future. Often times, leaders do not speak up because they fear they will disrupt the

group’s harmony, while at the same time noting that, too frequently, there are “elephants in the room.” On the polar extreme, leaders will debate so aggressively that it is hard to have any harmony. The ideal situation is to build an environment that encourages healthy debate while maintaining respect for one another, knowing that everyone wants the best for the organization.

Following are ideas that have been on my mind for a long time that may help better engage our community and encourage healthy dialogue: 1) Use technology to create more diversity and participation. An example of this is to have a live stream of the Town Council /LJCPA/ LJVMA meetings online with opportunities for viewers to weigh in, comment and vote on issues. I’m certain that one’s absence at these meetings does not equate to a lack of interest in our community. I’m sure there are working parents, college students and professionals who would want to be involved.

In my case, my travel schedule prevents me from participating (although I stay up to date by reading my La Jolla Light from cover to cover). It would be great to be able to

participate without physically being present.

Furthermore, too often only those who are opposed to a proposal take the time to show up while those in support do not. We are fortunate to live in a time where we have such great lowcost technology available to connect us. Let’s use it.

2) Create an environment for respectful, open discussion and debate. Let’s find a way to discuss the issues of our town openly. It is hard to debate an issue when one has just two minutes to speak. True dialogue requires input and exploration; open workshops on important community issues will engage the community in ways a “hearing” cannot. A methodology that can help with this is to create a forum and bring in a neutral facilitator when needed, to encourage an open discussion and examination of all the facets of the issue at hand.

It is an exciting time in our history that feels to me like a renaissance period with the improvements to our coastal parks, a new symphony hall, movie theater and plaza coming our way. It can be a great time to get creative on new ways to support our business community, our residents and our visitors.

I am happy to continue this conversation and offer my support toward efforts to bring our community closer together. Contact me at sherry@strategymeetsperformance.com u

Mid-coast trolley project: Back to drawing board!

The current planned Mid-Coast Trolley is not the solution to transportation or traffic in the La Jolla area. The plan as it currently stand has many flaws including: 1. Damaging the aesthetics and beauty of the La Jolla/University City community. A maze of raised track detracts and does not add to the beauty of this community.

2. Egress in the community will be harmed with substantial congestion at the planned raised trolley stop at the La Jolla Village Square Mall.

3. Many homes located on the bluff west of I-5 hearing the trolley running all day long and into the night.

4. Traffic will be adversely affected along most of the area the elevated trolley is being constructed.

5. The project does not address or resolve the existing heavy traffic traveling through the area and the I-5/I-805 merge.

6. Project does not address or resolve people travelling from north, east or west of the corridor.

7. The project is not designed to go any further north where much of the current and future growth of traffic will be.

The proposed project will not have sufficient ridership and is not the solution.

SANDAG (San Diego Association of Governments) needs to go back to the drawing board and provide a solution that is driven by what is good for the overall community, economics, and is part of an integrated solution to solve the traffic problems in the I-5, I-805 and University City/La Jolla Corridor.

The plan or solution must address traffic

moving through the community. The existing COASTER needs to be an integral part of the plan. The solution should include addressing people north and east of the area. Perhaps a trolley line along the existing railroad tracks all the way to Del Mar, with a transportation hub at or around the Del Mar racetrack, with a large parking structure, would make more sense.

This would 1) get real current ridership, 2) get thousands of people off the freeway, 3) save hundreds of thousands of gallons of gas, and 4) partially solve some of the current I-5/I-805 freeway system congestion.

Trolley tracks more in line with the existing rail lines would be less intrusive in the community, more efficient and less costly. The current planned trolley has minuscule parking to get people off the roads and is not planned for easy walking access from homes or residences.

People of La Jolla, voice your concern to your elected representatives. Those opposed to a trolley stop at La Jolla Village Square mall can sign an online petition at lajollapetition.com David Atz La Jolla

Parade committee has right to call it what they wish Howard Singer’s latest petty and meritless campaign to change the name of the traditional Christmas parade into something “neutral” is yet another example of an absurd exaggeration of political correctness.

Mr. Singer seemed content with the name when he was garnering votes for membership on the La Jolla Town Council, as evidenced by an article in the Aug. 18, 2011 La Jolla Light. When

questioned by a trustee regarding his prior activism in changing the parade name, he was quoted as saying, “You haven’t heard a peep out of me in all the editorials, I don’t care what it’s called. Forget the name, that’s ancient history.”

Thus, after making this deceitful statement he was granted a seat on the council. Tut, tut!

Diversity does not mean neutrality, which makes us all bland and blends us into one colorless unit. The name “Christmas” is no more “insensitive” (as called by Mr. Singer in a Letter to the Editor in the June 26 La Jolla Light) than Ramadan, Hanukkah or Kwanza.

Strange that Mr. Singer, and the other namechange advocates have not tried to change the names of the “Gay Pride Parade,” which specifically excludes heterosexuals or the “St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” which is specific to the Catholic religion.

Are these two parades too big for these “super sensitive” people to tackle? I would be happy to attend a Hanukkah Parade, the Diwali Festival, Winter Solstice or a Kwanza celebration and enjoy the diversity.

The La Jolla Christmas Parade is a joyful tradition and all are welcome. I hope this privately funded parade is not bullied into a name change by the Singer group. Organizers have every right to call the parade what they wish and not have to answer to anyone. Instead of picking on the Christmas Parade, which, in spite of the “insensitive” name has been an enormous success for more than 50 years, why doesn’t Mr. Singer fund his own parade and label it simply, “A Generic Parade.”

OBITUARIES

Carlos F. Barbas III 1964 – 2014

Carlos F. Barbas III, the Janet and Keith Kellogg II Chair professor and member of The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), died June 24, 2014, after a battle with a rare form of medullary thyroid cancer.

He was 49.

“I extend my deepest condolences to Carlos’s family,” said Michael Marletta, President and CEO of TSRI. “He was a creative scientist who tackled broadranging and important biomedical questions to lay the foundation for new therapies. He was admired and loved by his many friends on our campus. We will miss him greatly.”

Carlos was born on November 5, 1964, and grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He majored in chemistry at Eckerd College, earned a PhD with TSRI Professor Chi-Huey Wong (then at Texas A&M) in 1989 and conducted postdoctoral studies at Pennsylvania State University and at Scripps, where he worked with Institute Professor Richard Lerner (then the director of the research branch of Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation).

Carlos joined the TSRI faculty in 1991, where he conducted studies focused on the development of new therapeutic approaches to human diseases through studies at the interface of synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology and medicine.

Dale Boger, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Richard and Alice Cramer, Professor and member of the Skaggs Institute at TSRI, added, “Carlos was a cherished friend to all, a true pioneer in his science, a treasured colleague, and devoted to his family and children.

He enriched our lives in so

many ways, on so many levels and on so many different occasions that no words can adequately express our feelings of loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.”

Phil Baran, Darlene Shiley Chair in Chemistry at TSRI, noted, “Carlos’s memory and legacy will live on at Scripps forever.

His incredible list of accomplishments (academic and entrepreneurial) at such a young age could have only been possible here in this unique and magical environment, a fact he often repeated.

Carlos loved to tell jokes, to prank his friends, host legendary parties, race fast cars, go to the gym and, most of all, to spend time with his family. To his friends he was fiercely loyal, a shoulder to cry on and someone you could confide in. He had so much to live for and lived life to the fullest when he could.”

Some of his accomplishments include developing the first human antibody phage libraries, creating the first synthetic antibodies, developing the first artificial transcription factors capable of regulating endogenous genes, and pioneering chemically programmed antibodies. Each of these approaches has resulted in a new drug class that is currently in clinical trials or approved for the treatment of a variety of diseases.

To translate his research into new therapies, Carlos founded three companies.

In 1997, he co-founded Prolifaron, which was acquired by Alexion. In 2002, he started Cov-X, which was acquired by Pfizer. In 2008, he founded Zynegenia to develop the next generation of antibody-derived drugs.

Carlos received national and international recognition for his work.

He was the recipient of the Investigator Award from the Cancer Research Institute, the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical Society, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director’s Pioneer Award and the Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award in Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry. He was named a scholar of The American Foundation for AIDS Research and a fellow of the American Associate for the Advancement of

Science. In 2014, Carlos was named a fellow of the Academy of Microbiology.

He was an author on more than 330 scientific articles and was a named inventor on 58 issued U.S. patents.

In a 2009 profile for his alma mater, Eckerd College, Carlos reflected on his decision to become a researcher. “It’s better than I envisioned. I didn’t realize when I was studying science all the other opportunities it gives you to see the world. I have a very interesting kind of job that includes traveling the world to give talks. Things that I’ve worked on are being tested on people, and at some point, there will probably be someone in my family or someone I know who benefits directly.” In another interview he said, “It has been a dream of mine to develop drugs that make a difference.”

Carlos is survived by his wife, Annica; children, Derek, Sabrina, Sixten and Viggo; mother, Joanna; and sister, Maureen.

A private Memorial Celebration will be held in La Jolla.

Gretchen Jaenicke

1936 – 2014

Gretchen Sieg Jaenicke, 77, of La Jolla, California, passed peacefully with her family at her side on July 1, 2014. Gretchen was truly a great wife, mother and friend to all she knew.

She was fiercely devoted and loyal to those she loved. Born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1936 to parents, Arnold August Sieg and Grace (Brooks Messenger) Sieg, she was an only child growing up as the light of Arnie and Grace’s life in Alton, Illinois.

The most important thing to her over her 77 wonderful years was her family. As a young woman she spent many summers with her Aunt Grace in La Jolla, California, falling in love each summer with a new boy at Windansea beach. La Jolla would become a major part of her later life. After graduating High School in Alton, she met the love of her life, Ralph Monks Jaenicke, at Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin, where they both attended.

They eloped and wed in 1955 in Chicago, Illinois, and began a love affair that would last 58 years, bearing three boys, 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Gretchen made a warm and loving home for her growing family wherever they lived. Beginning in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where their first

son, R. Duncan Jaenick, was born, while Ralph finished his college degree at The University of Illinois.

Ralph worked for Firestone Tire and Rubber and, after a leave of absence for military service in the Air Force, they were transferred to Columbia, Missouri, where their second son, Kris Arnold Jaenicke, was born. A promotion took them to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1960 where their third son, Kurt Albert Jaenicke, was born. Ralph began work with US Rubber Company in 1964 based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and traveled extensively for his work covering Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas. Gretchen would see him on the weekends as he flew home from work trips to drop off dirty shirts and leave with clean ones.

In 1965 they returned to Ralph’s hometown of Rockford, Illinois, to co-found with his father, Jaenicke Distributing, a wholesale liquor company that represented Hiram Walker in Northern Illinois.

She raised three boys to men while in Rockford sending each of them to Big Ten Universities.

Gretchen enjoyed a deep and fulfilling social life while in Rockford, creating many life-long friends with whom she would diligently stay in contact, trading Christmas newsletters extolling her family and allowing her to stay connected for many years to extended friends she loved. She and Ralph belonged to Rockford Country Club, participated in Ostende, (meaning welcome in Swedish) a formal dancing group that met monthly, worshiped God by singing in the Episcopal church choirs of Emanuel Episcopal and St Anskar’s and was part of the Rockford Women’s club that supported her community in many ways.

She was a tremendous seamstress staying up late many nights to make formal evening gowns for Ostende, casual wear for traveling with Ralph to his leadership award trips and making individual Halloween costumes for her children based upon what they wanted to be that year. She, her Mother and Aunt Anne were also cross stitching and needlepoint mavens, upholstering the many family heirloom chairs that would grace her

parents’ home in La Jolla.

Her favorite needlepoint creations of inspirational quotes decorated every kitchen she had, including “The Hurrier I Go The Behinder I get.”

She immersed herself in all things family by volunteering in each of her children’s school libraries, using her earlier education as a librarian. She attended many high school sporting and theatrical events her sons participated in. A voracious reader, she earned the moniker, “Marian the Librarian” and her infectious laughter would brighten any room she was in as well as let her son’s know she was in the audience.

Their stay in Rockford lasted until 1983 when she left her homemaker role and joined her parents in San Diego to become Ralph’s business partner in the wholesale giftware business, Bethlehem Imports. She created her own line of jewelry she was famously known for wearing, “Gretchen of La Jolla.” Gretchen and Ralph traveled together extensively to trade shows all over the United States making life-long friends on the road. They provided for their family by employing her oldest and youngest sons as well as Gretchen’s Aunt Anne.

They retired in 2001 and moved to La Jolla in 2003 becoming a 3rd generation occupant of their beloved Dowling Drive residence. Gretchen cherished her time in La Jolla, participating and supporting the Social Service League of La Jolla whose mission is dedicated to providing affordable housing for those who have lived and worked in the San Diego area and who cannot otherwise afford housing after retirement. She was a parishioner of Saint James by-the-Sea, the Episcopal Church in La Jolla that her family has participated in since their arrival in La Jolla in the 1930s. She was intimately involved with the St James Gift Shop and the White Elephant Sale that provided support for the church she so loved and cherished. Moving to San Diego to join her parents was a life-long dream that she was able to fulfill for these last 31 wonderful years. Gretchen welcomed all of her family and many

From Fukushima, A1

A lot of people are dismissive “ of (radiation levels) because it’s so low, and that’s not a good thing to do because radiation can kill.

”

— Ken Buesseler

Senior scientist, Center for Marine and Environmental Radiation at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts

The bottom line is the “The underlying premise that has to be concentration we expect to see here in the considered as you talk about radioactivity, ocean water in California is extremely small. the water and people being exposed to it, is It should not pose any health risk on that the effects of radiation are cumulative,” swimmers, divers, people on the beach.”

Abrams said. “They add up over time. The Experts project the radioactivity will be question is, what is the turning point? And very low, about two-to-20 times greater than that’s why the common sense is to avoid the residual radiation already in the Pacific radiation as much as you can.” from the nuclear weapons tests of the 1950s The effective dose of radiation on living and ’60s. Yet in the same way no doctor tissue is a function of the strength of the recommends smoking even though a lone radiation and the duration of the exposure. cigarette never killed anyone, no scientist Even at the anticipated suggests that more radiation is good for you.

Women, children, and particularly fetuses, are more vulnerable to the effects of radiation. However, should anyone get cancer from the coming radioactive waters, everyone agrees that we’ll never know definitively. That’s because three in 10 Americans will develop cancer over their lifetime anyway.

It would take a massive epidemiologic study, requiring years of research and millions of dollars, to trace any cancer back to the low-level radioactive waters from Fukushima.

And none are being proposed.

“Any additional radioactivity can cause an increase in risk,” said Buesseler. “It’s there, we just can’t measure it. When I say can’t measure this, partly because (there are) so many causes of cancer, you can’t be very specific. If a kid gets thyroid cancer and is exposed to high levels of Iodine-131 (a radioactive isotope), you could make a connection. But you can’t put these smaller risks and doses and make the connection to anyone’s specific cancer and what they were exposed to.”

s

though,” said Dr. Ken Buesseler, senior scientist with the Center for Marine and Environmental Radiation at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.

“A lot of people are dismissive of it because it’s so low, and that’s not a good thing to do because radiation can kill,” Buesseler said, although adding, “It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s at harmful levels because I can measure these very, very small amounts.”

Buesseler is leading an effort to collect and analyze water samples at 36 beach sites along the West Coast from Alaska down to Scripps Pier in La Jolla. Samples are collected quarterly and Buesseler will know exactly when the irradiated waters from Fukushima hit the coast by the type of radiation emitting element — or radioactive isotope — found.

While some reports place their arrival to Southern California this summer, Buesseler said all estimates are based on computer models that can’t pinpoint details.

“These models are designed to look at the entire Pacific — 5,000 miles — not about specific conditions at La Jolla or Black’s Beach,” he said. “It’s a little harder to predict right at the beach exactly when we’ll see it.

We know it’s out there and we know it’s moving slowly across ... I tell people by the end of the year we should start to see it along the coastline, at least in the San Francisco area and up.”

Professor Kai Vetter of UC Berkeley’s Nuclear Engineering Department has been monitoring radiation levels in the air and rainwater around Berkeley as well as in soil, milk, cheeses and animal feed from nearby farms since the onset of the disaster in 2011.

With the radiation from Fukushima predicted to peak a year after its arrival and to stick around for a year after that, Abrams said the potential dose should not be dismissed as negligible.

“Am I concerned? Yes I am,” said Abrams.

“And that’s because I know radiation pretty well. I’ve been training (medical) residents for 60 years and part of that training is a respect for the effects. It shakes up the cell and it goes after the genetic material ... The bottom line is that (radiation) is a carcinogenic agent.”

Want to Know More?

n ourradioactiveocean.org: Dr. Ken Buesseler was part of the team of scientists that measured radiation levels in the waters off of Japan during the early stages of the Fukushima disaster in 2011. It was Buesseler’s assessments, among others, that exposed the Japanese government’s claims that radiation was no longer leaking out of Fukushima a few weeks after the onset as false. So Buesseler knows better than anyone why it was vital to establish 36 sites along the entire West Coast to search for radioactive isotopes in the Pacific Ocean waters along the shore.

“Because when no one makes measurements, then people will get more worried,” he said. “My take is let’s just get some numbers out there and talk about them. We can disagree on what they mean. We can get have arguments about what level’s considered acceptable in seafood or in the ocean. But let’s just be open with the results and talk about them.”

Some radioactive isotopes take decades and even centuries to decay, while others decompose in a matter of a few years. So the presence of the latter (in this case, Cesium-134) will indicate the arrival of radioactive fallout from Fukushima in the water, Buesseler said.

The results of each test from each site are posted on the Center for Marine and Environmental Radiation/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) website.

Of the 36 sites, only 25 have produced data thus far

Bottom line?

So what is the risk of swimming, surfing and splashing about in the low-level radioactive waters for the next two years?

because funding the project is an ongoing endeavor.

Buesseler said 320 private individuals and organization have contributed to date since government agencies have refused to provide any assistance.

“We’re looking for agencies to step up and help us do that and we’re not getting any success with places like NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) or the Department of Energy and that’s too bad,” Buesseler said. “I think they have some responsibility to look at these types of things. They say if (the radiation) is so low, why bother? But there’s still

atomic energy in 1945.

“There’s been so much done in this area that has produced some acceptable conclusions, but they’re population conclusions and it’s very hard to bring them down to the level of an individual,” he said. “I mean you can just say there is increased risk. But how

n radwatch.berkeley.edu: Professor Kai Vetter began collecting samples from a variety of substances to monitor the release of radioactive emissions in the greater biosphere soon after the Fukushima disaster. The effort included the placement of an $80,000 radiation detection device on the rooftop of a University of California building at Berkeley. The real-time results can be seen at radwatch. berkeley.edu Vetter volunteers his time, along with some students, to run the monitoring station and maintain the website. “In a way, we feel as a journalist,” said Vetter. “We see ourselves really as [doing a] service to the community.”

Vetter encourages teachers and students as well as individuals to do research and science projects based on the information from the website. He believes such handson experience with actual data will go a long way to alleviate public anxieties about radiation.

“If nothing else, (you’ll learn) about the radiation in the world we’re living in,” said Vetter. “You’ll get the real-time monitoring system and you’ll see large variations of radiation (levels) in our environment. Just to recognize this large variation, which is natural, I think it’s already 90 percent of the way toward addressing the concerns by the public.” u — Steven Mihailovich

do you translate that into an understandable discussion of what’s going to happen to guys on their surfboards? I don’t know.”

Buesseler notes that higher levels of radioactivity than expected here are still being measured in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster in the Baltic Sea, where

millions live, work and play. “It’s very, very difficult to see the effects of low-level radioactivity,” he said. “Now, you could switch that around and say, because it’s so hard, it can’t be a million times worse, right?

Ahhh, summer in La Jolla!

It was so nice to walk around La Jolla Cove this past week and see people climbing along rocks and cliffs since the gates have been opened. There was no smell, the big sea lions were back in the ocean (except for a few entertaining the tourists). This was certainly an easy solution to a very bad problem!

Now, if we could only get both lifeguard stands finished, the Jewel could shine again!

Who remembers, Hot Curl?

In a surfer’s language, a wave that forms a tube before it crashes on the beach is called a “curl.” A large wave through which a surfer can glide is called a “hot curl.”

WindanSea Beach is the best surfer’s beach in La Jolla. In the early 1960s, it was home to many notable surfers, including Mickey Munoz, Mike Diffenderfer, Chris O’Rourke and Butch Van Artsdalen. They were once named “the heaviest surf crew ever.”

The WindanSea Surf Club was founded by Chuck Hasley in 1962. By this time, the beach was gaining notoriety and fame. Hot Curl was then a cartoon character, created by Michael Dormer and Lee Teacher. In 1963, the local surfers built a version of the character on the rocks near Grass Shack at WindanSea Beach. Hot Curl stood six feet tall, narrow at the shoulders, pot-bellied and knobby-kneed. A mop for his hair and a beer can in his hand, he stood gazing out over the ocean in search of the perfect wave. He was declared “Patron Deity” of the surfers.

He quickly became a nation-wide sensation. He appeared

Pet of The Week PAGET

in SURFtoons comics and his name was on a model kit that sold in the thousands. In 1964, Hot Curl became a movie star and appeared in the film, “Muscle Beach Party,” starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.

Rough weather toppled the Hot Curl statue and authorities demanded that the work of art could stay only if mounted on a stable cement base. That accomplished, Hot Curl remained there for many years. Reports have it the statue was stolen or vandalized.

However, at Harry’s Coffee Shop on Girard Avenue, there is a 14- x 19-inch photograph taken by a famous photographer of the 1960s, Ron Church. At The Spot restaurant on Prospect Street, there is a 2- x 4-foot oil painting of Hot Curl.

His creator, Michael Dormer, lived in Ocean Beach and died Sept. 10, 2012. The statue may be gone, but the passing years have not lessened the spirit that pervades the area where surfers fondly remember Hot Curl. u Patricia Weber La Jolla resident since 1953

We can’t be hiding something from the public that this is a thousand times worse than we’re telling you because you would see it then. You’d see it in populations.”

With uncorroborated claims and preposterous predictions floating around the Internet and elsewhere, the coming radioactive waters still might produce health problems unrelated to the radiation, Vetter warns.

“The psychological stress and psychological impact which might actually cause health effects, we should never underestimate that,” Vetter said. “And that’s really what the big problem is, because there’s a lot of fear. There are a lot claims out there to increase the fear. From my perspective, it is completely unjustified and irresponsible to claim all the effects because that will just cause more and more

fear in the public, which is probably the biggest impact.”

However, Abrams issues his own warning about those scientists declaring the low-level radiation to be absolutely “safe” based on a viewpoint that he says isn’t completely science. “Physicists, or at least some of them, are the people in the nuclear industry itself,” said Abrams. “They play down (the risks) at such low doses, but they never talk about it as being cumulative.”

With risks that can’t be quantified and consequences that won’t be verified, the radioactive waters coming to the coast this year seem to fit in the category of activities, products and habits no one can label “healthy.”

“Keep the exposure to radiation down,” Abrams said. “But you’ve got to go on living and doing your thing and if that thing is just riding the waves, the joy and the pleasure probably exceed the risk.” u

“Based on information from our biologists, the bird may leave the area in a couple of weeks (as of July 1). This estimate is based upon the length of time and ability of seagulls to fly once hatched, and also based upon what occurred last year at around the same time.”

section b 10 QUESTIONS

Chef William Bradley brings French flavors to new La Jolla bistro

A

ward-winning Chef William Bradley — one of only 160 chefs in the world and 17 in the United States to receive the designation of Grand Chef from Relais & Châteaux — is the executive chef and director of Addison, the signature-dining venue at The Grand Del Mar. Bradley recently lent his talent to another eatery operated by the resort: Bijou French Bistro in La Jolla. The new restaurant, which opened June 27 at William Bradley 1205 Prospect St. (formerly the site of Amaya La Jolla), features classic French bistro fare.

Since he opened Addison eight years ago, Bradley has garnered much acclaim for his artisanal approach to contemporary French haute cuisine. Now, collaborating with Bijou French Bistro Chef de Cuisine Shaun Gethin, who most recently served as the sous chef at Addison, Bradley presents his preferences for tried-and-true classic French bistro favorites.

Lauris Phillips sometimes integrates watercolor into her pieces. With Sumi-e, strokes are minimal.

Keeping it Simple La Jolla native has Sumi-e art exhibit in Balboa Park

If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

My guest list would include French Chef Alain Chapel, Tool lead singer Maynard James Keenan, Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, Portuguese soccer manager José Mourinho, American fashion designer Tom Ford, The Dalai Lama, my wife and my mother.

By Ashley Mackin umi-e art is all about simplicity, said La Jolla native and artist Lauris Phillips. The strokes are minimal to show the “essence” of a subject.

Even the word is simple, when broken down. Sumi means “ink” in Japanese, she said, and adding the –e changes the meaning to “ink painting.”

The process to make the ink is basic. “It’s made from soot, which is one step away, evolutionarily, from picking up charcoal out of a fire and writing on a cave wall,” she said. The soot, made from burnt wood, is mixed with animal fats to make a paste that can be dried for easy storage, and rehydrated to become black paint.

It was the purity of the paint that made the medium appealing for Phillips. “One question I asked myself is how I could make art that is beautiful, challenging and non-toxic to me and to the world?” she posed. “I did a lot of oil painting and printmaking, but the solvents and carriers in the paints would give me a respiratory reaction.”

A practicing Buddhist, she met a Sumi-e painter at her temple in her now home of Humboldt

See Sumi-e Artist, B17

Why did you decide to become a chef?

I was very fortunate to fall into this profession at a young age, and I immediately had a great passion for it. So, being a chef has always been a natural fit, one that I consider a gift that life has given to me.

What has been your most memorable ‘chef’ experience?

That was receiving the Robb Report Culinary Masters award nomination from Chef Thomas Keller.

Winning this competition was just icing on the cake.

Let Inga Tell You

Adventures in potty training

I

La Jolla Cultural Partners

’ve finally come to understand the basic connection between grandparents and grandchildren: They really want to get out of diapers, and we hope never to get into them.

Nothing made this clearer than a recent weekend when two of our grand-tots were in residence. It would be accurate to say that much of the conversation revolved around the words “pee pee” and “poo poo” and who might be doing which of them when. Olof and I did not escape scrutiny.

The tots’ parents made sure the household’s bathrooms were well stocked with mini-jelly beans as rewards for successful performance. This concerned me as Olof is inordinately fond of jelly beans and I wasn’t sure I could trust him not to filch a few whether he’d gone pee pee in the potty or not.

“Olof,” I said, “you had better not even THINK of touching those jelly beans.”

He retorted, “I think there’s a good reason they’re not using chocolate, Inga.”

The grandkids, ironically, were definitely on the honor system. It was just the grandparents who couldn’t be trusted.

The older of the two grandchildren is now fully potty trained, even at night.

“So,” I said to her parents when we babysat one night, “do we need to take her to the bathroom before we go to bed?”

“Nope,” they said. “She’s good until morning.”

“But that’s 11 hours,” we said with more than a little incredulity. Olof and I looked at each other wistfully. Those days are so over for us. Neither of us ever expected to suffer from Pre-school Bladder Envy.

Since she is a now a pro in the potty department, the 4-year-old is actively helping her 2-year-old brother master the mysteries of planned performance. She is an eager dispenser of jelly beans, an accomplished clapper, and an expert demonstrator of toilet flush technique. (It’s all in the wrist.) Post-execution hand washing and footstool sink placement are also in her vast repertoire. She awards herself a mini-jelly bean as an administrative fee when output goals are met.

Unlike grandma, she even knows which is the front on the pull-ups. While we’re on the subject of pull-ups, these are the

best invention ever. They didn’t have them when my kids were toddlers. We either had either diapers or cotton training pants theoretically reinforced in key areas in an illusion of protection, which didn’t prevent “accidents” from turning the child’s entire outfit noxiously soggy.

While online research indicates that there are better options in the training pant world now, somewhere along the way, some brilliant parent, tired of re-attiring a squirmy 2-year-old after a training pant failure, said, “there really needs to be an intermediate step here.”

And voilà! pull-ups, a stretchy disposable diaper material underpant that the kid can pull on and off himself.

Now, as with anything kid-related, there is controversy. It’s no secret that there is no more competitive world than parenthood. Among the factions in this case are the anti-pull-up contingent who say that the feel of the disposable diaper material only confuses the child and delays potty training. If you want your kid to be pooping on his shoes until he’s 10, go for the pull-ups. They maintain that one should go straight from diapers to the training pants, or in the case of ubercompetitive parents hell-bent on giving the kid an early mindset for Harvard, right from diapers to actual superhero

underpants. (One mom scarily blogged, “I used big kid underwear right from the start and told him if they peed or pooped in them the characters would be mad.”)

Personally, I think the person who invented pull-ups should get the Nobel Prize for Laundry. With the pull-ups, if things don’t go exactly as planned, their clothes aren’t wet, too. And the kid can theoretically take off the pull-up himself and even pull up a dry one. This, in my view, is the sort of ingenuity that made America great.

Anyway, the grandtots were very generous about rewarding us with mini-jelly beans if we’d performed. We weren’t all that interested in an audience so they had to take our word for it.

They did. They were even happy to clap for us in absentia.

Even though they’ve gone home, we’re finding the subject of potty performance has somehow lingered. It’s kind of like a song you can’t get out of your head. Is it because the adult version of pull-ups could be in our future?

Then again, we could just be missing the jelly beans. u — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light.

By Kelley Carlson he Walkers recently welcomed a new addition into their family of restaurants. Following in his father’s footsteps, Richard Walker, Jr. opened a Richard Walker’s Pancake House in May in La Jolla.

With an award-winning breakfast menu and an atmosphere that’s inviting for all ages, it’s nearly identical to its three “siblings” — two in Illinois and one in downtown San Diego — which are owned

by Richard, Sr. Already the La Jolla site has proven to be popular. It’s not unusual to see people lined up outside to wait for a seat.

Richard Walker, Jr. said it is restaurant policy to have water on the table within 30 seconds of seating and the drink order taken within a minute. “Our service is impeccable,” he touted.

Dining-room décor includes mahogany millwork and architecture inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, along with colorful patterns of stained glass.

Walker said that the restaurant sources its ingredients locally when possible, with a few obvious exceptions (such as ligonberries from Sweden and Havarti cheese from Denmark).

As the name suggests, the eatery is best known for its pancakes — in particular, the Apple Pancake. “It’s what put us on the map,” Walker said.

The signature entree is made with a heavily egged German batter that is custardlike and made from scratch daily. In true

On The

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured ‘On The Menu’ restaurant at www.bit.ly / menurecipes

n This week’s recipe:

Richard Walker’s Apple Pancake Bavarian style, it’s baked in a pan, much like a cake, then lavished with Granny Smith apple slices and a cinnamon glaze.

A more traditional option is the halfdozen Blueberry Pancakes made from buttermilk batter, which are sprinkled with powdered sugar and arranged around a center of blueberry compote. Other toppings of fruits, nuts and even meats are available, too, and the pancakes can be prepared gluten- and peanut-free, if desired.

Not all the entrees center around hotcakes. One standout is the French Strawberry Crepes, in which full-sized berries are wrapped inside the light, thin pancakes. They’re decorated with powdered sugar and strawberry slices, and served with a tangy, tropical syrup created from oranges,

The signature Apple Pancake triple sec, orange juice and cane sugar.

Another notable is the San Diego French Toast, which is grilled until golden, then accented with strawberries, blueberries, bananas and powdered sugar.

And there’s the oven-baked Mediterranean Omelette with Cheese, stuffed with spinach, tomatoes, onions, oregano and Kalamata olives rolled with feta cheese.

For a savory side, customers may consider one of the custom-prepared meats, from a trio of Thick Sliced Bacon strips, to Sausage that has been floured, seared and slowly cooked to lock in flavors.

Those who are more inclined toward lunch items (which may be ordered at any time of the day) can select from two salads, three sandwiches and a quiche. u

Mediterranean Watermelon Salad

Kitchen Shrink Catharine L. Kaufman

Perfect timing is key in the kitchen

L

ike most things in life, timing must be perfect — and cooking, baking and food preparation is no exception.

Slice an avocado prematurely and it’s hard and bitter, past its prime and it’s mushy and brown. A door slamming at the very scintilla of time when a soufflé is critically rising can convert the airy delicacy into a pancake, while a salad dressed too long before serving will limp into a soggy mound.

The Time is Ripe Relish your favorite fruits bursting with sweet juiciness by becoming savvy about their ideal ripeness. Watermelon, the season’s quintessential treat, won’t ripen anymore once plucked from the vine since it doesn’t contain ethylene like bananas or apples. So pick a winner by tapping the side, listening for a hollow sound. It should also have good heft and a nice yellow belly. For cantaloupes, scope out heavy, solid spheres with a sweet musky aroma. A strong sweet smell means it’s overripe.

Perfectly ripe peaches should have a rich golden glow tinged with a pinky blush, a nice rounded shape, and give slightly to finger pressure. You can also buy them green and firm, and let them ripen to your

druthers at home.

For picking pineapples, if one of the center leaves can be plucked with ease, then it’s ready, Freddy; if it needs to be yanked out, then it’s not quite ripe. But smell is the key. Like Baby bear’s porridge, it has to smell just right — an overripe one has a vinegar smell, an under-ripe one is practically odorless, while a perfectly ripe pineapple has a sweet, tropical aroma.

Finally, an avocado should give slightly to pressure, but still be firm. If it squishes in your palm, it’s toast.

Use Your Noodle Since not all pastas are created equal, they must be treated differently in a pot of rolling boiling water. In addition, pasta texture preferences determine the length of boiling time.

For those who enjoy al dente (chewy) boil for shorter periods than those who like a softer, more limp noodle. Hearty, whole grain pastas are tougher than white durum wheat and tender egg noodles, requiring more cooking time. Delicate “angel hair” cooks up in 2-3 minutes, while fettuccine, penne or rigatoni needs at least 7 minutes. Noodles that are going

n Ingredients •6 cups ripe watermelon, cut in chunks, seeds removed • 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese • 1/3 cup chopped kalamata olives • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced • Handful fresh basil leaves, chopped • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • Juice from one Meyer lemon • Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste n Method: In a large glass bowl combine watermelon, olives, onion, cheese and basil. In a small bowl whisk oil, lemon juice and seasonings. Pour over salad and gently toss. Chill for one hour. to be subsequently baked like lasagna or ziti should be somewhat undercooked.

Grilling Time A mere minute longer on the grill can spoil a carnivore’s preference or create carcinogenic charred offerings. Degrees of doneness for beef include the following: n “Very rare” when the bovine is still mooing, and could practically be revived by a competent vet (internal temperature 130 degrees Fahrenheit) n “Rare” is 140 degrees F, very red center with red juices, too n “Medium rare” 145 degree F with a warm pink center n “Medium” 160 degrees F

n “Well” 170 degrees F and “very well” 180 degrees F, no longer having any pink while the juices run clear

Tea Time Steeping tea is an art form. For loose leaves, the larger the leaf, the longer the brewing time. Brew Earl Gray and Lady Gray for 5 minutes, and more delicate leaves for 4 minutes. For tea bags, the more robust, darker teas like black should steep for 3-5 minutes, while lighter green or white just 2-3 minutes. Never brew too long to prevent bitterness. u — For other perfectly timed recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Fehlman has exhibited in the show, and one of his paintings was used on the flyer.

Fehlman just won Grand Prize at the Laguna Beach competition for a painting he did of Crystal Cove State Park.

Fehlman was an architect for 36 years.

He designed La Jolla’s Casa de Manana and several homes on Mount Soledad. He said there was an art gallery next to his office, so he started taking painting lessons. In 2005, he sold his share of the practice to his partner and started painting full time.

“I think I won the Laguna Beach competition because my painting was very colorful and because Crystal Cove is such a popular place,” he said. “You have to choose good subject matter if you want to win competitions. Also, I combine

One of our artists is featured in the July issue of Plein Air Magazine, another just won first place at the Laguna Beach plein-air art competition.”

Richard Warner architectural thinking with my painting to create good design elements, rather than to just paint freely.”

Jeff Yeomans is a self-taught painter who resides in Ocean Beach. His submission is a street scene in Bird Rock.

“Painting constantly challenges me,” Yeomans said. “You are never guaranteed a good result and you never really know what you will end up with. When I paint urban landscapes, I try to do honest takes.

I don’t edit anything out.”

Artist Carolyn Hesse-Low submitted a striking painting of a sunset on 49th Street in New York. The sun is going down right in the middle of the street between the tall buildings of midtown Manhattan.

“It’s hard to paint the sun, sunsets and

LA JOLLA LIGHT - july 10, 2014 - Page B7

Robin Hall sunrises,” Hesse-Low said. “You have to work furiously to capture the light before it’s gone and it’s constantly changing. I see the sunset over the ocean every night from where I live in La Jolla, but I’d never seen a sunset between buildings in a city, and it so happens that the sun goes right down the middle of 49th street only once a year when the Earth and sun are lined up just right.”

This was the first library art show for Bird Rock artist Richard Warner. One of his paintings depicts the fog rolling in at 8 a.m. at La Canada Street and Bellevue Avenue.

Another depicts how the shadow of a tall building changes the water color at Children’s Pool.

“I was fascinated by how I would paint

fog and I wanted people to see how direct sunlight, and shadow, cast light that changes the color of ocean water,” Warner said.

Robin Hall submitted an amazing painting of a trail along the shoreline of Lake Hodges. Viewed from a certain distance, the painting comes alive, as if you were seeing the scenery firsthand. She said she tried to make the painting seem warm or cool depending on what was in light or what was in shadow.

Ken Goldman had an excellent urban landscape of the freeways of I-5 and SR-52 seen from an empty lot in the hills high above La Jolla.

It is a unique vantage point, which shows that even freeways can be beautiful when seen in a certain light.

Photos by Will Bowen

“I am fascinated by the patterns, rhythms, and compositional elements of the freeways. I looked high and low for a point from which I could render a depiction,” Goldman said.

Jeff Sewell is a self-taught artist from Newport Beach. He likes to paint the coastal scenery in true plein-air style. He said he worked at a property management company for 40 years so that now he can pursue painting full-time. Sewell also teaches art to fourth-graders.

“Plein-air art may not be as thoughtprovoking as conceptual art — it’s more about conveying feelings of time and place and the beauty of our surroundings,” Sewell said. “It teaches us to really see with new eyes. That is what gives it its great value.” u

The McCarter Theatre Center in Association with Fiasco Theater Production of socialized, have a good work ethic, be affectionate, family-friendly, not be startled or reactive to sudden movements or sounds,” she said.

The dogs are trained from birth to have these traits. Malatino said Canine Companions for Independence has its own breeding program. At eight weeks old, the dogs go to a “puppy raiser,” where they remain for a year and a half.

“The puppy raiser’s chief responsibility is socialization and basic training (sit, stay, heel),” she said. “Socialization involves taking the puppy out in public to get them used to whatever they might come across with their human partners. They take them to movie theaters, offices, public transportation, grocery stores, you name it.”

After an additional six months of daily training, the dogs are paired with a person in need. The dogs are given to the families free of charge, but the family is responsible for any subsequent costs — grooming, veterinary bills, toys, etc. In Otto’s case, the match was a slow process. Lana said Otto was, at one point, afraid of dogs, but she wanted to try anything and everything to ease her son’s daily life.

She said when the family finally got the call there was a dog for them — after five years on the waiting list — they had to attend a training seminar in Oceanside to familiarize themselves with the dog and vice versa.

One day during the training, Otto was laying down watching a movie when Lana asked if he would be OK with the dog on the bed. He nodded yes.

On the Web Canine Companions for Independence:

cci.org

“Cara laid on the bed and moved incrementally and very slowly toward him,” Lana said. “Over five minutes, she probably moved six inches, so as not to scare him.

When she got closer, he just touched her nose and she didn’t do anything. She didn’t lick him or anything. Then he giggled and that was it. It was such a defining moment.”

Cara has been with the Lana family since February, and has already given Otto a sense of comfort and empowerment. He has a touch-screen with a touch-and-talk program that he uses to verbalize commands for Cara and be a part of her daily life.

The program has a directory of pictures that correlate with a word or command.

When pressed, the touch-screen will verbalize that word and form sentences. There are icons representing words such as ‘sit,’ ‘food’ and ‘come here,’ and Lana said Cara is still getting used to the computerized voice.

The touch-screen also has his teacher’s pictures and partial sentences so he can communicate at his school in Mission Valley. Under the “I want” and “to eat” buttons, “cookie” is on there twice — just in case.

Although the touch-screen has helped, the “best therapy” for Otto has been Cara, his mother reports. “He has a ton of energy and looks like any other 9-year-old, but when he needs to feel calm, he has Cara.” u

Let’s Review Diana Saenger

Underwood and Thomas are a tour-de-force in ‘Othello’

R

arely have I seen an audience so spellbound as by the performances of Blair Underwood as Othello and Richard Thomas as Iago in the first production of The Old Globe Theatre’s 2014 Summer Shakespeare Festival, “Othello.”

Thomas unleashes his first seething words of hate for Othello, not only in verbal form, but also with every movement of his body; the vile face, the clinched hands, the solidity clutched chest.

Iago is determined to do everything he can to destroy Othello because Othello has overlooked Iago – a brave and daring soldier – to promote Michael Cassio to the coveted post of lieutenant instead. Because Othello is in a whirlwind romance with Desdemona, he misses clues about Iago’s deceitfulness. Meanwhile, Iago leaves no stone unturned in seemingly working for Othello and reminding him he’s taken care of any threats against him.

The beautiful Desdemona charms everyone, especially the rich Venetian Roderigo (Jonny Orsini). Iago uses him to further his deadly plot and insists Roderigo pay him money to help him win Desdemona’s favor.

Underwood enthralls in his jubilant love

and desire for his wife, yet he’s equally as strong as the wounded husband when Iago convinces him that she’s been unfaithful to him with Cassio.

Thomas commands his character like a puppet, knowing every string to pull at the right time to keep everyone under his control and intertwined in his devious plans.

There’s plenty of ongoing action with incredible actors portraying the supporting characters in this dramatic tragedy — Mike Sears as Brabantio, Desdemona’s father; Mark Pinter as the Duke of Venice; Angela Reed as Emilia, Iago’s wife; and Kushtrim Hoxha as Montano, Governor of Cyprus.

Katherine Roth’s costumes are splendid.

Jonathan Hepfer and Ryan Nestor, the musicians who set above the theater, create a sweet and sparse accompaniment that fits so well at key moments.

Artistic Director Barry Edelstein’s direction is brilliant and well thought-out.

The minimal set allows the actors in this sizzling drama to move on and off stage like a revolving window display. They kept me high with anticipation for them to return and continue their journey. u n IF YOU GO: “Othello” is onstage

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.

NEW! Senior Yoga Classes in collaboration with Prana Yoga Center are now held every Thursday from 10:30am-11:30am in the Home Care Assistance La Jolla office! Join us!

FREE for seniors and their loved ones!

LA JOLLA LIGHT - july 10, 2014 - Page B17

From Sumi-e Artist, B1 County, who mentored her and taught her the meaning behind the practice.

Sumi-e primarily uses black and gray tones (depending on how diluted the paint is), but Phillips sometimes mixes watercolors into her pieces, which are on display at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park through Aug. 3, and are inspired by animals she saw during trips to Mexico.

Marisa Takeuchi, exhibit coordinator for the Friendship Garden, said staff wanted to showcase Phillips’ work for its “unique motif.” “What’s really interesting about her work is that she depicts animals and creatures from the Baja region,” Takeuchi said. “Typical Sumi-e motifs are of koi fish or bonsai or elements of Japanese gardens or landscapes. So the fact she chose a different landscape was interesting to see.

She’s taking this traditional art form and making it her own.”

Phillips spent 10 childhood summers in Baja with her family while her father, Richard Phillips (deceased), was geologically mapping the region for his Ph.D. project for Scripps Institute of Oceanography. She resumed summer trips as an adult with her boyfriend (now husband) Jay Pelz.

One summer, she decided she was going to paint an image of a snail. She explained there is a snail native to southern Baja called Plicopurpura Pansa, whose secretions have been used as a dye for years.

“If you take the snails off the rocks where they reside and aggravate them by poking or blowing on them a little bit, and then putting them right back, of course, they

secrete this white fluid that is a neurotoxin they use for hunting. It turns out this fluid is a photosensitive dye that starts white, but turns this brilliant purple in the sunlight,” she said.

So each morning, she would collect a few drops of the secretion and use it to paint a portrait of the snail. “I call it a self-portrait,” she joked. With limited paint supply, each stroke mattered that much more. The two paintings she is happiest with are in the Friendship Garden exhibit.

When painting with the more plentiful Sumi, she might attempt an image 40 times before she gets it right. “Thirty-nine out of 40 will end up as kindling in my stove,” she said, “But then, all of a sudden, there is a magic that happens. You’ll look at one and think ‘that one looks alive.’ ” Another Sumi-e tradition is to draw the eyes of a creature into the painting last because “the eyes give it life,” she said.

For this exhibit, she did a four-part sequence of a bird in motion, having the eyes of one of the birds face forward, appearing to be looking at the viewer.

Her interest was piqued with the bird sequence, and she might pursue more of those in the future, but, in general, “I follow my nose when it comes to what’s next.” u n If you go: The exhibition is on display at the Japanese Friendship Garden, 2215 Pan American Plaza, Balboa Park, through Aug. 3. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday-Sunday. Last admission at 3:30 p.m., the garden closes at 4:30 p.m.

Admission: $6. (619) 232-2721.

he City of San Diego Park & Recreation Department kicks off a new summer challenge July 14, encouraging participants to walk 30 miles in 30 days in a city park.

Participants may sign up July 14-Aug. 1 at any city recreation centers. The La Jolla Rec Center is at 615 Prospect St. The program is free.

City staff will lead walks through community parks and track participant progress. Participants may also walk independently and report their progress to staff throughout the challenge period.

Cheers Foundation members tour Salk Institute

G

allery Properties was recently honored to help represent the National Cheers Foundation at a meeting with Geoffrey M. Wahl, a professor in Salk Institute for Biological Studies’s Gene Expression Laboratory and holder of the Daniel and Martina Lewis Chair.

The mission of the Cheers Foundation is focused on women’s health, and Wahl has spent years researching breast cancer.

“We are studying the genetic basis of the origin and progression of cancer

and developing new strategies to tailormake drugs based on the genetic signature of a patient’s tumor,” Wahl said.

The meeting was part of a two-hour introductory tour of the Salk Institute, which was established in 1960 by Jonas Salk, M.D., who developed the polio vaccine. The campus was designed by architect Louis Kahn.

Cheers Foundation members present for the tour included Anseth Richards, Jackie Helm, Linda Edinin and Claudette Berwin. u
