Princess Street access battle continues

TO PROTECT AND SERVE

■ Homeowners lose another appeal to keep beach passage point sealed BY ASHLEY MACKIN The owners of a home on Princess Street that tops what was once an open-to-the-public beach access route have filed, and lost, yet another appeal to keep the access blocked. In late September, the California Court of Appeal ruled in favor of the California Coastal Commission and its requirement that homeowners Ure and Dianne Kretowicz dedicate a public access easement on their property. However, Ure Kretowicz told La Jolla Light that although they were in the midst of legal action, he plans to appeal the appellate court decision. He would not disclose additional details. Historically, the route leading down from the Kretowicz’s Princess Street property, off Torrey Pines Road, has been available for lifeguards, Scripps Institution oceanographers and the general public. It was closed off in the 1970s when then-property owner Jane Baker built her home. A sealed gate and a small sign that reads, “Please keep out” alongside the property, currently block the beach access route. Since the property was built, the Coastal Commission has requested a public access easement be dedicated. Subsequent property owners (after Baker), including the Kretowiczs, have not complied with the request. Since 1999, the Kretowiczs have been involved with litigation to keep the access closed. Kretowicz told La Jolla Light he thought the Coastal Commission has been SEE BEACH ACCESS, A8

Captain Mark Hanten, pictured in front of the Northern Division police station at 4275 Eastgate Mall, arrived as its new head in March.

■ Months into the job, police captain of Northern Division is optimistic BY JAMES PALEN or the past seven months, San Diego Police Department’s Northern Division, which includes La Jolla, has had a new police captain, and he said he hopes the relationships he’s built so far on the job continue well into the future. Capt. Mark Hanten may be new to this side of town, but he’s no newbie when it

comes to policing. The 25-year San Diego Police veteran’s career has taken him from the academy in 1990 to posts in the Central, Mid-City, Southeastern, Western, and now Northern divisions within the department, as well as in the department’s SWAT and sniper units. In each of his roles, Hanten said, he’s SEE POLICE CAPTAIN, A20

City reminds residents of coming water rate vote ■ Deadline to voice protests is Nov. 17

BY JAMES PALEN Trustees of the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), and several members of the public, heard at the association’s Nov. 5 meeting, a presentation on the cost of service study that the City of San Diego used to determine that a proposed water rate increase is justified. The presentation was provided by Seth Gates, the deputy director of

finance and IT in the city’s Public Utilities Department, and it drew many questions from attendees. The San Diego City Council is scheduled to either approve or deny the rate increase at its Nov. 17 meeting. Among things Gates noted was information on how water customers can submit (in writing only) formal protests or supportive comments via the public hearing notices that were required to be sent to them in the mail. According to Gates, the cost of the service study was for the sake of

erring on the side of caution, and conducted under the assumption that the current drought continues into the future. Under the proposal, each customer’s

exact increase would vary depending on customer classification and amount of water used, but a typical single-family customer using 1,200 cubic feet of water would see a monthly increase of approximately $6.46 per month. The proposed increase would amount to 9.8 percent starting in January 2016, with additional increases of 6.9, 6.9, 5 and 7 percent becoming effective in July of each year from 2017 through 2020. The city said the increases would SEE WATER RATE, A18

s you wonderful fellow La Jollans know, Wednesday, Nov. 4 was one of the nicest sunsets we’ve seen, due to the incredible cloud structure and stormy seas. I wanted to share with you this photo I took that night of WindanSea Beach. It’s called an HDR (High Dynamic Range) shot. It’s three different photos taken at different exposure values, combined into one.

Meet Shelley Zimmerman Police Chief reviews her career path for La Jolla Woman’s Club BY ASHLEY MACKIN wo shooter-related instances in one day didn’t stop San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman from her speaking engagement at La Jolla Woman’s Club on Nov. 4, as part of its Women in Leadership series. Earlier that day, there was an active shooter in Bankers Hill downtown and another armed and dangerous person in Pacific Beach. Nevertheless, Zimmerman spoke to the more than 50 attendees that night to share how she reached the ranks of San Diego’s first female police chief and offer thoughts on her approach to establishing “a culture of excellence” on the force. Zimmerman said she grew up in Ohio, and as an avid football fan, traveled to Los Angeles for a football game in 1980. While on the West Coast, she decided to visit the San Diego Zoo and some beaches, and immediately decided, “I had shoveled my last driveway,” she said. She moved to San Diego with the intent of going to law school, and after learning that the San Diego Police Department was hiring, thought it would be a way to earn money and get a first-hand lesson in the legal system. “When I entered the Academy, I fell in love with being a police officer,” Zimmerman said. “But I soon learned that the journey through life is rarely a straight line. There are going to be twists and turns, but you have to embrace those twists and turns because they could lead you to places you never imagined were possible.” In her first decade on the job, Zimmerman patrolled Northern Division (which oversees La Jolla), had undercover assignments – including as a prostitute, which she jokes she was “really good at” – and served as the bodyguard to San Diego’s first female mayor, Maureen O’Connor.

Because she said the police department welcomed her “with open arms” and gave her “lots of opportunities,” Zimmerman was encouraged by one of her captains to take the sergeant’s test. “I thought ‘why would I do that? I’m making our city safer,’ but I enjoyed the teaching aspect, so I took the test and did very well,” she said. “I loved getting to mentor, shape and lead a whole squad of officers.” After some time as a sergeant, the lieutenant’s test was coming up, and Zimmerman was once again encouraged to apply. “I thought, ‘why would I do that? I have the best squad here,’ ” she said, but she was told the position would give her more influence over more people, so she applied and was accepted. “One of my first assignments was as a field lieutenant, and I was on duty from 5 at night until 5 in the morning. I loved it because I was the highest-ranking individual in the city,” Zimmerman said. When the same captain who encouraged her from the beginning was promoted to assistant chief, he suggested she apply for a captain’s job. “So what did I say … why would I do that?” But as history would have it, she applied and was made captain. While captain, Zimmerman served in different divisions and had the opportunity to work with then-councilmember Kevin Faulconer. When Faulconer was elected mayor, he appointed her chief of police. “So if you see the mayor, thank him for me,” she said. Upon her appointment as chief, Zimmerman said the reputation of the police force wasn’t sparkling. “At that time, we had issues with misconduct ,” she acknowledged. “So I wanted to instill a culture of excellence with our officers. It starts with me, all the way down to our newest recruits.” To create that culture, she said her focus has been on using body

Lecture attendees listen to Chief Zimmerman’s thoughts about the San Diego police force cameras, practicing procedural justice, teaching emotional intelligence, encouraging better communication and confronting bias. “I’m a huge proponent of body cameras and we are the largest city in the United States to have deployed 970 body cameras,” she said. The department just finished its first-year analysis of the three divisions that have body cameras. “Our complaints are down, our allegations are down, our levels of use-of-force are down, a lot of incidences have been de-escalated,” she said. However, assaults on officers are up, and the most common factors involved in these assaults are: mental health issues, substance use and proximity to an entertainment center. “We found if you have mental health issues or are under the influence, you don’t really care whether the officer has a body camera,” she said. Zimmerman also said she is a proponent of “procedural justice,” which she said means “Just because you can do

something, should you?” Her officers are also encouraged to use discretion and look at the spirit of the law in addition to the letter of the law. She is also an advocate for emotional intelligence. “We tell our officers, don’t let the actions of someone else dictate what you are going to do. Don’t let someone else ramp you up. Be emotionally intelligent.” Zimmerman said she emphasizes effective communication on the part of her officers. “How we talk to individuals will vary. What might work on this person over here might not work for someone else. Some words might calm one person down, and make someone else angry. So you have to be able to feel that out.” Addressing a hot-button issue for police officers nationwide, she said she and her officers work to confront and address bias. “Everyone has a bias. But we can never let whatever our bias is interfere with our fair and impartial

policing,” she said. “But we’re not perfect and there is a difference between excellence and perfection. We are excellent police force, but we are going to use that gap between excellence and perfection to continue to motivate us to improve every day.” Zimmerman added that these new approaches to police work are crucial to creating a force of individuals the community can count on. “I talk about confronting bias and emotional intelligence because everyone is an individual,” she said. “If I flip a coin 10 times and get heads each time, what are the odds I get heads again? Fifty-fifty. The coin doesn’t know what happened the other times. Just because you might have had one type of contact with someone, the next time you contact them, even if it’s the same individual, it’s a whole new situation. Take it at face value. We ask the community the same thing. Just because you’ve had a bad experience with one police officer, don’t paint us all with a broad brush.” Attendee Jacque Nevels, the grandmother to four African-American young men, asked about what she should tell her grandsons about interactions with police. “There are some very disturbing things going on … and inappropriate behavior going both ways,” Nevels said. Zimmerman replied with advice she would give to anyone, regardless of race or age. “If you get pulled over, cooperate with police. You can always file a complaint later, but cooperate and follow direction.” After her presentation, attendees said they found Zimmerman’s speech to be “intelligent” and “inspiring.” New La Jolla resident Dave Heldt said having seen Zimmerman on television, he wanted see her in person. “She speaks very intelligently and she sticks with the facts. She’s rather unique in this profession, and I think she’s going to stay here by being so effective in her approach,” he said. Added Mirium Tullgren, “I’m a teacher and I was looking for inspiration. It’s hard to keep going sometimes and I’m looking for strong female role models and the bits of advice that can give,” she said. “She was truly inspiring for me.” ♦

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

Suspects in La Jolla home invasion in custody

wo men who were arrested last week on suspicion of burglarizing an elderly woman’s La Jolla home in July are also accused of stealing from wealthy communities across Southern California, San Diego police said. The suspects were taken into custody on Nov. 5 in the San Bernardino area, said San Diego police Lt. Todd Griffin. One of the men, 27, was taken in by a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. San Diego investigators arrested the other man, 19. Evidence left at the La Jolla burglary put police on their trail. Investigators suspect the two men climbed through a kitchen window into the home on Rodeo Drive near La Jolla Mesa Drive on July 13. One of the men told the elderly homeowner he was a Logan Heights police officer, while the other ransacked the house, Griffin said. They made off with jewelry, televisions and more than $800 in cash. The homeowner, who wasn’t injured in the crime, called police after they left. Investigators were able to identify two suspects thanks to DNA evidence found at the crime scene. Later, detectives determined the two had fled to the Los Angeles County area. While working with authorities there to organize an arrest, they discovered the suspects were accused of burglarizing other wealthy communities including Newport Beach and Hermosa Beach. Police recovered some stolen items when the men were arrested, but detectives haven’t determined to whom the items belong. Both men are currently jailed for burglary, robbery and false imprisonment, but may face other charges in connection with the other burglaries, Griffin said. — The San Diego Union-Tribune

Suspected domestic violence call prompts SWAT response, La Jolla Boulevard closure

A Nov. 5 call to police from a woman in Bird Rock left police searching for a man suspected of possible domestic violence, and prompted the closure of La Jolla Boulevard amid a response from the San Diego Police Department’s SWAT unit. According to reports, the woman whose call brought the police response was in an apartment above a Bird Rock art

gallery on La Jolla Boulevard and Camino De La Costa when she called 911 around 3 a.m. to report that a man inside was threatening suicide. Considering the man a possible domestic violence suspect, and in the wake of the Nov. 3 standoff in Bankers Hill between police and a suspected gunman, San Diego police shut down La Jolla Boulevard for more than an hour after the woman’s call. Police reportedly entered the apartment around 4:30 a.m., but did not find the man inside. La Jolla Boulevard was reopened around 5 a.m., and police reported later that morning that they were still searching for the suspect. SEE CRIME NEWS, A8

Hit-and-run leaves Soledad hydrant gushing Crews spent more than 45 minutes shutting off a broken hydrant that sent a stream of water nearly 20 feet into the air at Rutgers Road and Vista Claridad in the Mount Soledad area on Nov. 6 A hit-and-run driver was the likely cause of the hydrant rupture, according to San Diego Police, who reported that the incident likely occurred before 3 a.m., and that a piece of a Toyota Camry front bumper was found among debris. There was no reported flooding of area homes, though San Diego Fire-Rescue and public utilities crews responded to the incident to stop the flow of water.

Man sentenced to prison for shootings A man convicted in two shootings, one of which ended the life of his former friend, was sentenced Nov. 6 to 247 years to life in prison. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported last week that Joseph Anthony Hill, 46, was convicted in April of first-degree murder for fatally wounding Sean O’Toole, 47, during a confrontation in the backyard of the defendant’s Linda Vista home. Hill was also found guilty of premeditated attempted murder in connection with a second incident at a La Jolla motel about three hours after the first shooting. San Diego Superior Court Judge Frederic Link sentenced Hill, who was on parole at

the time of the crimes, to 199 years to life plus 48 years. Prosecutors have said Hill and his girlfriend, Marla Caniglia, arrived at O’Toole’s house on Drescher Street just before 5 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2013, the day of the shooting, and that the defendant was upset with O’Toole because he believed the victim had disrespected Caniglia. Hill pulled a gun out of his waistband and shot O’Toole in his chest at close range. Others at the residence helped O’Toole to a car and drove him to a hospital where he collapsed and died. About 8 p.m. that evening, Hill went to the Biltmore Motel on La Jolla Boulevard, where he shot a man who owed him $200 on a drug debt. The man survived despite being shot in his stomach. During the trial, defense lawyer Stewart Dadmun argued that O’Toole was the aggressor and Hill shot him in self-defense. Prosecutors told the judge during the sentencing hearing that Hill had no remorse for the shootings. Hill apparently agreed, shouting out in the courtroom that he had no remorse.

He said the homeowners more than 30 years ago were asked to give an easement, but no enforcement action was taken when they declined. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, neighbor Dave Reynolds said he opposes the reinstatement of public access on safety and privacy grounds. “It’s just not safe; it’s a liability issue,” he said. “There’s very easy access from the Marine Room to the beach. Plus, it would be an invasion of the neighborhood.” Architect Tony Ciani, a longtime beach access advocate, said in the 1970s, the City

of San Diego conducted a study of access routes to the shoreline, and based on that study, there was substantial evidence to the public’s historic right to access at the site. He said, “If an access way that is supposed to be open is blocked, it should be opened up. Public access should not be interrupted.” La Jolla Parks & Beaches member and beach access advocate Melinda Merryweather, who has long fought to restore the access, said she was “thrilled” with the recent court ruling. “When it is reopened, everyone who has never been down there will understand why so many, like myself, have spent so many years working to get it back,” she said. ♦

Business Roundup: Roppongi out, Duke’s in

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Prospect Street in La Jolla continues to see changes. The restaurant, Duke’s La Jolla, opened this month, Roppongi Sushi closed last month, and Daniel Jewelry plans to close in the coming months. Down on La Jolla Boulevard, a men’s salon is preparing for its grand opening at the end of November. The long awaited Duke’s La Jolla is a 13,000-square-foot Hawaiian/California cuisine eatery at 1216 Prospect St. named in honor of Duke Kahanamoku – native Hawaiian, six-time Olympic swimming and water polo medalist and the father of modern day surfing. The restaurant has a statue of Duke fronting the building. Duke’s La Jolla is owned and operated by San Diego- and Maui-based TS Restaurants. “Over the years, we have looked for new opportunities in San Diego, and we focused-in on La Jolla a few years ago because of La Jolla’s abundance of culture, history and beach lifestyle,” said Jackie Reed, CEO. “In creating a sense of place for a new Duke’s restaurant, a concept that honors the father of modern day surfing … La Jolla provides the perfect backdrop ... we look forward to many years of aloha at our new Duke’s.” The Marengo-Morton Architects-designed restaurant features two dining areas: the main 230-seat capacity level, and a second 150-seat capacity level. Both floors have outdoor dining. The menu focuses on the cooking techniques of Hawaii and California, and uses all-natural, seasonal and

Executive Chef Anthony Sinsay, TS Corporate Chef Scott McGill and TS Regional Chef Dustin Anselm collaborated to develop menu items specifically for Duke’s La Jolla. Signature items include: Tahitian Octopus, Lilikoi Ceviche, Roasted Firecracker Fish, and 24-hour Kalbi Short Rib. dukeslajolla.com

Roppongi Sushi closes

La Jolla restaurant Roppongi Sushi Lounge closed its doors at the end of October after 17 years in the Village. Owned by Ladeki Restaurant group – also owner of Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza at 702 Pearl St. – the

8,000-square-foot restaurant was located at 875 Prospect St. “I had a 20-year lease and when the lease (came to an end), I had to make a decision to keep it open or close it,” owner Sami Ladeki told La Jolla Light. With the closures of other west-end Village restaurants, including Amici’s Pizzeria, Aroma Café and Amaya, Ladeki said he decided to also close up shop. “Roppongi wasn’t doing great, and at the end of the day, the way La Jolla is going, for me to keep it open would mean I would have to change the concept and basically start over,” he said. “I had tears in my eyes when I closed it, but these things happen. We had a good run for many years, but everything must come to an end.” Ladeki said he is exploring opening a Roppongi location in North County San Diego or Little Italy. He also said he would be open to launching another restaurant in La Jolla in the future, but nothing is planned. His other La Jolla restaurant, Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza, which has been closed since efforts to put out a grease fire caused significant damage in early September, will hopefully reopen in early 2016, he said. In the meantime, Ladeki said he will be redoing Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza’s menu to make it more diverse, improve its catering services to reach more offices, and open a location in Las Vegas. “We’re always working on something,” he said.

Daniel Jewelry

After 36 years in business, Daniel Jewelry

at 1241 Prospect St. is closing. Owner Jim Lavi said the lease to the space expires next summer, and once all the merchandise is sold, he will shut the doors and retire.

18/8 Men’s Salon

On the other side of town, 18/8 is planning to open at the end of November at 7407 La Jolla Blvd., across from the Maserati dealership. The full-service men’s salon will offer haircuts, facials, therapeutic scalp treatments to help prevent hair loss, hand and nail care, classic straight shaves, waxing services, and hair coloring/gray blending. 18/8 will also have a membership program with VIP treatments, including seven haircuts a year, seven cleanups in between haircuts, and discounts on grooming services and retail products. The La Jolla salon joins more than 20 franchise locations in several states, and is owned by La Jolla native David Bolton, and his wife, Lori. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, Bolton said he decided to open a franchise after an 18/8 opened near his Rancho Santa Margarita home, and he experienced the services for himself. After the first time getting his hair cut at the men’s salon, he said, “I’m never going anywhere else.” 18/8 is hiring barbers, stylists and receptionists with applications at eighteeneight.com/lajolla-ca/ Hours will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. ♦

T&T hopes to fix Torrey Pines Road traffic lights

La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory board will discuss traffic signal timing along Torrey Pines Road at its 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. The topic was introduced at the October meeting, but was tabled until presenters became available. T&T chair Dave Abrams said the extent of the discussion is not yet known, but he invited speakers from the city to give the board an update. “When Fire Station Nine at the throat (where La Jolla Parkway turns into Torrey Pines Road) deploys its engines, they control the traffic signals, but the signals don’t automatically reset afterward,” Abrams said at the October meeting. This can cause additional backups and congestion. He also read a letter from the city that indicated staff is working on a solution. “We are in the process of installing special timing perimeters to help the traffic signal return to normal operation after the emergency vehicles preempt the signal timing,” it read. Abrams added, “The boarder picture is how to address traffic on Torrey Pines Road, but there is something in the

works called Adaptive Signal Timing, and the city is trying prototypes of this program with La Jolla streets being one (test area).” More information on this program will, hopefully, be heard during the presentation.

La Jolla represented at citywide speech contest

Toastmasters of La Jolla, an organization that helps to improve members’ public speaking skills, had some solid representation at this year’s Ignite San Diego competition, Oct. 22 at the San Diego Central Library. Event organizers invited 18 speakers to share what they were passionate about in five-minute speeches. La Jolla speakers were Sandeep Ponnuru, who gave a humor-based speech on “the difficulties of being a melon,” and Yasha Kharrati, 13, who impressed audiences with a speech on bipartisan politics. tmlajolla.org

United States and was named U.S. Rowing's athlete of the year in 2010. She headlines an accomplished team of coaches at the SDRC juniors program that is divided into boys and girls varsity (high school age students), as well as boys and girls middle school rowers. Francia told the PTA group it is never too late to take up rowing, sharing with them that she spent much of her time on the bench in high school volleyball and basketball before finally taking up rowing as a sophomore in college. She noted that most of the team's senior rowers are continuing their sport into top colleges such as Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, Cal and UCLA, even though some of them only started rowing one or two years ago. The Learn to Row Week is intended to offer interested high school and middle school students the opportunity to try rowing for a week with no cost and no obligation. It features the SDRC coaches and is limited to 20 rowers to maximize coach to student ratios for best learning experience.

Homegrown Meats specializes in all-organic products

RICHARD RUDISILL

Organic and all-natural turkeys are available from Homegrown Meats, and can be ordered in time for Thanksgiving.

BY MARTI GACIOCH Homegrown Meats sells only the highest quality (hormone- and antibiotic-free) meat choices for holidays and everyday. This includes fresh organic turkey; succulent grass-fed beef from San Diego County ranchers; fresh organic pork, poultry and lamb; and exotic meats and sausages of all varieties. Like many successful shopkeepers, Don Snyder (previously a restaurateur), and his three business partners recognized an unmet need for a health-conscious organic local butcher shop in the heart of La Jolla. "It took us about two months to put the deal together and we've been in business with Homegrown Meats for more than seven years now," Snyder said. His three partners include Matt Rimel, owner of Rimel Rotisserie; and friends Thad Benshoof and Peter Morris. Homegrown Meats features organic grass-fed beef from cows raised entirely on grass from Mendenhall Ranch in the Palomar Mountain area. "Besides grass-fed beef, we sell two different kinds of all-natural beef — prime and choice," Snyder said. "Our all-natural beef is raised on a mix of grains and alfalfa, and no corn or hormones are added to anything in our shop. Our all-natural beef comes from a co-op of ranches in the Imperial Valley." Both organic and all-natural turkeys are available from Homegrown Meats. The organic turkeys are available from Samuel's Ranch and the all-natural turkeys are raised at

Heidi M's in Petaluma. Homegrown Meats also offers all kinds of all-natural pork cuts, including tenderloin, pork chops (both bone-in and boneless), along with baby back ribs. The organic chicken comes whole, as bone-in or boneless, or as breasts or thighs. "We cut things to order and all meat is freshly ground right in the shop; yes, you can come in and order freshly ground beef, turkey, lamb and pork," Snyder said. "We tell our customers, if you don't see it ask; we can get almost anything, including rabbit." Homegrown Meats also carries homemade salami, organic cheeses, beef broth and chicken bone broth. "All of our meats are nitrate-free, including our salamis, deli chicken and turkey, along with what we make in the shop, including sausages," Snyder said. Georgia-born, Snyder has a great appreciation for his business here. "I wanted a community butcher shop because I have a passion for food and cooking, and I love having a business in La Jolla," he said. ♦ ■ Homegrown Meats at 7660 Fay Ave., La Jolla, is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

FROM WATER RATE, A1 offset lost revenue resulting from less water consumption, and that a stable revenue stream is needed to continue developing locally controlled water supplies and to invest in the replacement of aging water mains, water transmission pipelines and pump stations. The city’s Pure Water project, which is scheduled for construction starting in 2020 and is planned to produce potable water from the city’s wastewater, is a component of the rate case. The city’s 2020 fiscal year budget calls for $335 million for capital projects. LJCPA treasurer Jim Fitzgerald questioned why the city proposed a swath of increases over five years, as opposed to building into previously approved rates a long-term plan that would through successive but smaller increases create reserves to cover rising costs without hitting customers with sudden rate jumps. Gates said that the city has always preferred to not charge any more than is needed at any given time to provide its customers with water. Fitzgerald and others also suggested the rate hike amounted to a benefit to lenders while simultaneously another obligation for ratepayers. “People are making sacrifices in how they maintain their property, and they’re also having the sacrifice of raising their rates,” Fitzgerald said. “But the one person who isn’t going suffer a dime of this is the bondholder. I understand about creditworthiness … but there are cities that are going through pension crises (and companies like General Motors) — the

bondholders had to participate.” Gates said in this situation, the only way the city could spread the sacrifices to the bondholders in that way, which would amount to withholding a percentage of repayments to them, would be through the

city declaring bankruptcy. He also said that what the city hopes to let the public know is that the rate hike is, in fact, to its benefit. “We’d have to declare bankruptcy to do so, which we in no way, shape or form would want to do, for our utility, for our customers,

for the city,” Gates said. “We are looking for ways in every shape possible to borrow as efficiently from the best lenders possible.” He said that from the State of California, for example, the city borrows money at about 1 percent interest per year. Fitzgerald said because the state is mandating the water use reductions that are resulting in less revenue for the city — and therefore making the water rate increase more appealing as a way to make up the difference — the state should be pushed to reimburse cities for the lost revenue, rather than making ratepayers cover it on their bills. Gates said the city remains engaged with the state to make sure its voice is heard in its effort to bring equity to the process by which the state-mandated cuts are being imposed. According to Gates, a public process would review the revenue numbers regularly to determine if, in the event the drought comes to an end, the higher rates would still be necessary down the road. “We are making that commitment with the review of funds,” Gates said of the Public Utilities Department. “We’re going to work with (the City Council), we’re going to show them these numbers. They’ll be publicly vetted to make sure we have somebody independent who comes in to look at that.” ■ The public notice for the planned City Council hearing on the water rates proposal can be viewed online by visiting sandiego.gov/water Protests must be received by the city before the end of the public hearing, scheduled for 10 a.m. Nov. 17 in the City Council Chambers, on the 12th Floor of 202 C St. in downtown San Diego. ♦

Noticeable yellow plants draw attention to the roundabouts and help drivers maneuver them. Dunbar reported accidents at this location have decreased since the colorful plants were installed.

Year of Accomplishments

Bird Rock Community Council reviews 2015’s MAD projects BY ASHLEY MACKIN Immediately following the regular monthly meeting of the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) Nov. 3 at La Jolla Masonic Lodge, the community advisory group had its annual Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) meeting. The budget for fiscal year 2017 (July 1, 2016-June 30, 2017) was also discussed. BRCC supervises its MAD, which assesses a

fee to cover repairs or improvements to environmental elements, safety measures, aesthetics, irrigation, landscaping and more. Chiefly, MAD fees maintain the five landscaped roundabouts on and around La Jolla Boulevard, and the medians that connect them, as well as implement capital improvement projects. BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar said the projects are chosen by the council after

members of the community present ideas they would like to see funded by the MAD during meetings throughout the year, and many focus on safety. Select landscaping efforts are used to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety, particularly the trimming of overgrown trees and the replacement of diseased or dying trees to preserve a clear line-of-sight.

faced challenges that have heightened his awareness of the importance of communication between police and the communities they serve. His time in the Southeastern Division, for example, made him a witness to some brutal situations in neighborhoods considered to be more prone to violent crime. But it also taught him that even in neighborhoods where relations between police and the communities would be ripe for strain, good communication can solve a lot of problems. That’s why, he said, he’s been so impressed with the quality and professionalism of officers in the Northern Division. “On the backdrop of what’s been going on nationally — the issues talking about law enforcement in a negative light — it’s really rewarding and exciting to see how professional these young officers are,” Hanten said. One of the reasons he said he feels that’s the case is because San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman, who was promoted into the chief’s role after also serving as the Northern Division’s captain, has refused to lower recruiting standards for new officers. Hanten said that’s a mistake he’s seen in other large cities facing a shortage of officers. Not here, he said. He also said the influx of college-educated recruits, a byproduct of a slowly recovering economy forcing college graduates to find work in areas other than the fields in which they studied, and of military veterans, has brought in more mature officers. Hanten doesn’t shy away from acknowledging the department has its own problems, referring to a few cases in recent years of highly publicized officer misconduct. But he said that, by in large, San Diego’s police department is among the most transparent in the nation, and he hopes to build a relationship with Northern Division communities to keep that transparency and communication alive, from both directions. One of Hanten’s chief goals is to build up community involvement in the process of deterring crime, particularly in the face of changing laws that in ways, he said, make policing more difficult. “I go to Neighborhood Watch meetings, and I tell residents that they are the eyes and ears of the police department,” he said. “That is not just a sound bite. That is absolutely reality.” The Northern Division is comprised of about 145 police officers. Taking out of the

mix the few that are injured or otherwise unable to perform patrol duties, the dozen or so that are detectives on investigative assignments and the roughly 20 sergeants, the division is left with fewer than 100 officers available for patrol duty, in a division that covers 43 square miles and includes 250,000 of the city’s 1.3 million residents. “I can certainly hear people saying, ‘Oh my God, you’ve got less than 100 patrol officers covering 24/7, covering 43 square miles — how can you possibly catch anybody?’ I like to turn that around and say, ‘No, we have 250,000 agents working for us. How does anybody ever get away?’ ” Hanten said he recognizes that each community has its own concerns, and that those concerns can change from season to season and from year to year. He aims to keep his department, and the communities he serves, clued-in, so that his goal of keeping the communication lines clear can be met. Offering as an example of how changes can affect policing, Hanten referred to the recently passed Proposition 47 — which reduced to misdemeanors, many crimes that had previously been considered felonies — and one citizen’s discussion with him about a recent string of bicycle thefts. “The response I got was, ‘Well, there’s a perception out there by the public that the police officers don’t care about bicycle thefts.’ Well, look at where we are with laws on bicycle thefts,” he pointed out. Under Proposition 47, the theft of a bike valued at $600, for example, is no longer considered a felony, Hanten said, meaning that penalties for even the theft of relatively expensive bikes — up to $950 — are low, misdemeanor-level penalties. The law regarding penalties no longer acts as a deterrent to bike theft, or many other crimes that were reduced to misdemeanors, such as narcotics possession, Hanten said. “It is incumbent on people when they recognize that to reach back to the political process,” Hanten said. “And it’s incumbent upon us to make that message clear.” Hanten said he plans to stay in the Northern Division as long as he’s still enjoying what he’s doing. “And I absolutely enjoy what I do,” he said. ♦ ■ The Northern Division police offices are at 4275 Eastgate Mall in the UTC area.

Why water rates will continue to climb OUR VIEW

hese days it seems the only things certain in life are death, taxes and higher water rates. If you are in charge of paying the city water bill, you’ve likely seen (or will soon see) a notice of proposed water rate increases in your mailbox. There will be an invitation to attend a public meeting and a process for filing a protest letter. These things are required under state Proposition 218. (See story, page A1) Show up if you want or e-mail your complaint to City Hall, but it won’t do any good. That is, unless somehow you can convince 50 percent of all customers in the city to protest as well. That’s not likely. You may be saying to yourself, “But I’ve reduced my water use by (fill in the blank) percent this past year. I’m doing my part for water conservation. Why am I being penalized?” Call it the cost of doing business. A little background is necessary. Because we live in a desert (yes, really), nearly all of San Diego County’s drinking water is imported from either the Colorado River Basin or from Northern California. The big wholesaler, the agency with its hand on the supply line valve, is the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The district sells water to dozens of water districts, including the San Diego County Water Authority. Any increases in the cost of providing the raw water are passed

along from “Metro” to the county agency, which then adds its own increases to the rate before moving it down the pipeline to its member agencies, which include the City of San Diego and its suburbs. For reasons far too complicated to outline in this space, “Metro” and the county authority don’t get along and the county agency has taken prudent steps in recent years to start weaning itself from Northern California water. For example, later this year a state-of-the-art (and expensive) desalination plant will be turned on in Carlsbad and will provide about 7 percent of the county’s drinking water. Long-term deals for water have also been made with Imperial County users that move San Diego County up in line for Colorado River allocations. Off in the

distance is the possibility of wastewater being processed into clean drinking water. Water systems are expensive to operate and maintain. They consume electricity, chemicals and employee salaries. Pump motors and filters need to be replaced, as do countless other parts, and miles upon miles of pipelines. These all need to be operating well, regardless of how much water is being used by the customer at the end of the pipe. Of course these “fixed” costs continue to increase, right along with the cost of raw water. Local water providers — the ones sending you those official notices — are in a tough spot. They need to charge their customers the “pass-through” water costs from Metro and the county, while keeping their own fixed costs in line. When customers do their part to conserve, they are also cutting into sales revenues. (San Diego’s water revenue is down more 30 percent this year.) Local providers somehow have to make up the difference, and that means more money out of the pocketbooks of customers. The predicted El Niño storms this winter and spring won’t do much to change the upward march in rates. The storms may replenish depleted snowpacks and water reservoirs and relax mandated water conservative rules, but it’s unlikely that most customers, having torn out their lawns and planted drought-resistant shrubs, will revert back to water-wasting ways. Water sales will remain at post-drought levels. Water rates will continue climb. This is a fact of life in the desert. ♦

City: Please remove plastic from fences along Torrey Pines Road

ASHLEY MACKIN

Does anyone know when and why the city wrapped this fencing with tarp?

Open Letter To Mayor Faulconer: I am writing to ask you to please do something about the 12 plastic-covered city fences on Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla. These fences are on the ocean side of Torrey Pines Road between Calle De La Plata and Little Street. This is the entrance to our community and it looks like a construction zone. There is no construction at all, and some of this has been up for 11 years! I’ve been asking (for two years!) to have it taken down. Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office can do nothing, Mike Richmond of Code Enforcement can do nothing, so it looks like after 11 years you are the only one who can remove the illegal, plastic fencing in the city right of way. It is amazing to me how hard it is to get the most-simple things done in the City of San Diego. Everyone under you is told they can do nothing, so now I’m asking you to get it done. Looking forward to a reply. Melinda Merryweather SEE MORE LETTERS, A24

The conversation about Jonas Salk with Gary Robbins, Mary Walshok, Peter Salk and Jonathan Salk on Oct. 30, was taped by UCTV for broadcast on its Library Channel beginning 8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 23 .

‘I read the scriptures of nature’ Work of polio vaccine creator Jonas Salk to be preserved at UCSD

■ Salk’s sons donate his

papers, recordings and artifacts for preservation BY WILL BOWEN In the town where I grew up, there was a child who had polio. His name was Billy. He was tall and slender, the middle of three brothers, who were very athletic, playing on the high school golf and football teams. Polio had left Billy with one hand curled into a frozen claw. He wore a metal leg brace and walked with a decided limp. He slurred when he spoke. Most of the kids made fun of him, which caused him to develop a defensive attitude. Billy loved baseball, Jonas Salk and despite his physical limitations, he played centerfield on a Little League team. When a fly ball came his way in the outfield he would clamor over to it and catch it in a mitt that was placed on his good hand. Then he would grasp the glove under his other armpit and throw it back with his good hand, which had been in the glove. It took some extra time to accomplish this, but he worked at getting it done quickly. When he was up to bat, Billy would hold and swing his bat with just his one good arm. When he ran down to first base, you could hear the clunk of his leg brace. I wasn’t immune from poking fun at him and imitating his walk or slurring talk. But looking back, I realize I should have had respect for him going out there and playing despite jeers and people’s uneasiness with his disabilities. In those days, before the Americans with Disabilities Act, there was stigma associated with a disability and people with one were usually kept shut in and out of the public eye. Billy was probably one of the last people to contract polio, thanks to the groundbreaking vaccine that Jonas Salk brought to the world in 1957. After Salk, polio practically disappeared from the planet.

WILL BOWEN

‘The Legacy of Jonas Salk’ exhibit is on display at UCSD’s Geisel Library through Jan. 10, documenting Salk’s scientific activities from the mid-1940s to his death in 1995. If Salk would have met Billy, no doubt he would have went up to him and apologized for not having made his vaccine ready sooner, as he did after one of his lectures to a young lady in the audience who was walking with crutches.

The Salk Archives at UCSD

Since polio has just about disappeared, people have forgotten about it and many don’t know who Salk was or what he accomplished. Dona Mapston, who takes the Salk Institute Educational Outreach van to middle schools, says children aren’t taught about Jonas Salk anymore and don’t know what polio is. She is trying to raise their awareness. Fifty or 60 years ago, polio was on everyone’s mind. People feared it almost as much as they feared Russia would drop an atomic bomb on America. Trains would not stop in towns where there had been an outbreak of polio, which each summer killed or paralyzed-for-life, thousands of people. To preserve Salk’s work forever and give people throughout the world access to his

papers, the UCSD Library Special Collections department has taken steps to create a “Finding Aid” or table of contents to help people sort through more a 1,000 boxes of materials that were donated to the library by Salk’s three sons, Peter, Jonathan and Darrell, who’ve all followed in their father’s footsteps to become medical doctors. The library also plans to digitalize all of Salk’s papers and the numerous audio recordings he made. To announce the opening of the Salk Archives and celebrate his life, the library held a special conversation titled “Culture, Creativity and Community: The Legacy of Jonas Salk” on Oct. 30 at the UCSD Faculty Club. The event featured The San Diego Union Tribune science editor Gary Robbins interviewing Salk’s sons, Peter and Jonathan, with UCSD sociologist Mary Walshok, author of “Invention & Reinvention: The Evolution of San Diego’s Innovation Economy.” The evening proved to be a wonderful opportunity to get an inside view of Salk, the man and the scientist. Peter said his father was, “Not just a scientist but someone who

was always thinking about the meaning of life and existence.” “Dad was always trying to read and understand ‘the scriptures of nature’ — the laws and forces of the natural world that govern us,” he said. “My father wanted to heal the world. Dad didn’t have an off switch, he was always talking or writing about or recording his ideas about life and nature. He would even wake several times in the middle of the night and write down his ideas.” Added Jonathan, “Yes, father was determined and relentless. If he had an idea, like the polio vaccine or the Institute, he would figure it out down to all the details, and make it happen. But he was also sensitive, artistic and philosophic — a real bio-philosopher or an artistic scientist who wished to merge intuition and reason.” Robbins noted that was exactly what Salk wanted for the Salk Institute in La Jolla: “That it be a place for the merging of the sciences and the arts.” Walshok added, “He made connections with people from all walks of life and energized them with his enthusiasm. For example, he befriended the mayor of San Diego and convinced him to donate 27 acres overlooking the ocean on Torrey Pines Mesa for the Institute, and he enchanted architect Louis Kahn and together they worked single-mindedly to design and build the monumental architecture of the Institute, which is today one of the most important landmarks in our city.” (Editor’s Note: In June 1960, through a referendum, the citizens of San Diego voted overwhelmingly to make a gift of 27 pueblo lots in the La Jolla area, just west of the new UC San Diego campus, for Salk’s dream. The Institute began operation in temporary quarters in 1963, and permanent buildings designed by architect Kahn were completed in 1967. The complex soon gained international fame for its extremely modern and austere design, which now enjoys a cult following among architecture and design buffs. Salk served as the Institute’s director until 1975.) ♦ — For more information about the Salk Archives, contact Lynda Claassen, director of special collections and archives at lclaassen@ucsd.edu or (858) 534-2553.

TESTOSTERONE FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH

OHMG SEEKS TO REDEFINE DEFINITION OF HEALTH The Journal of the American Medical Association recently published a jaw-dropping article that reported the results of over 100 studies on the effects of testosterone on men. The article found that low levels of testosterone were routinely associated with abnormal EKG readings and that men with higher testosterone levels were 25% less likely to suffer from sudden cardiac arrest. In fact, the Journal reported that low testosterone was associated with a higher rate of mortality in general, along with higher rates of cardiovascular mortality, obesity, and diabetes. Luckily for men (and women), the village of La Jolla is now home to Optimal Health Medical Group (OHMG), a clinic specializing in testosterone and bio-identical hormone replacement, along with genetic testing and complete blood work analysis, anti-aging medicine, and diet and nutrition counseling. OHMG’s Medical Director is Michael Nielsen, M.D. Dr. Nielsen graduated with honors from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He spent eleven years and served two tours in Iraq as a flight surgeon with a Marine helicopter squadron and was awarded “Flight Surgeon of the Year” by the Surgeon General of the United States. As someone personally committed to robust health, Dr. Nielsen is passionate about the science of wellness and performance and has made the field of endocrinology and bioidentical hormone replacement his specialty. Dr. Nielsen’s partner at OHMG is geneticist Keith Vaux, MD, a graduate of Oxford University and the prestigious Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago. Dr. Vaux also serves as the Director and Clinical Chief of the Medical Genetics Division at UCSD and is Assistant Dean of the Continuing Medical Education Department. Dr. Vaux uses his knowledge of genetic testing to advise OHMG patients on their probability of developing a host of diseases and even which diet and exercise approaches might serve them best, as well as helping them make informed choices about their health care in general.

Inclusiveness group meetings shouldn’t be Sunday mornings The San Diego County Diversity & Inclusiveness Group has its meetings to "affect a faith-neutral name for the La Jolla December Parade" on Sundays at 8:15 a.m. Sunday mornings are when Christians of all denominations are either in church or getting ready to go to church. Is this an indication that the group is showing an anti-Christian bias by scheduling this meeting at that time when interested Christians cannot be present? Wow. Is this a version of inclusiveness?

FROM BIRD ROCK COUNCIL, A19 “In some areas, we’ve also noticed the color of plants we use makes a huge difference in drawing attention to the roundabout, reducing excessive traffic and cutting down on the number of drive-overs,” Dunbar said. “For instance, at the Colima Street roundabout, there are noticeable bright yellow plants. That seems to have cut down on the number of accidents in that area. … And that’s important because a lot of kids use that way to get to Bird Rock Elementary, so we like to keep those plants maintained and at the right height so those children can be seen.” To deter the problematic drive-overs on the roundabouts that damage the irrigation system, BRCC plans to line the perimeter of the roundabouts with river rock. “That is partly for aesthetics but also it helps protect the irrigation system. The river rocks will provide a little more security.” These rocks have already been placed at the Sea Ridge and Chelsea Avenue roundabout, with other installations planned. In addition to roundabout and median maintenance, the MAD has capital improvement projects to replace three guardrails. Two of which have already been replaced. The guardrail replacement at Bird Rock Avenue was finished Aug. 22 and the guardrail replacement at Forward Street was completed Oct. 22. “Unfortunately the necessity (at Forward Street) is that there were a number of traffic accidents that damaged the railings at there,” she said. The last guardrail to be replaced is at Midway Street in front of the CVS drugstore. “It’s pretty badly damaged, it’s been hit three times in three months by hit-and-run (accidents). The replacement date has not yet been set, but we have a bid out for it.” Other miscellaneous projects to be funded include Halloween security; cleanups of gutters, drainage ditches and crossing ramps; debris removal from planters; and removal of illegal signs. Additionally, 10 BRCC-provided trashcans are emptied once a week, and there are also

three city-provided cans on the ocean overlooks that are emptied weekly. MAD funding also pays for dog waste bags stations along La Jolla Boulevard and the walking path between Mira Monte and Camino de la Costa. MAD finances are independently audited at the end of each fiscal year, as required by the city, Dunbar said. Based on the last audit, she said, the MAD is in “very good shape.” The rate assessed to resident fluctuates, but next year’s rate will be close to this years, at $90 for single-family residences, $63 for condominiums, $450 for commercial property. Based on the successful operations this year, the 2017 MAD budget and plan will be similar to its previous year. A complete budget is in the Bird Rock newsletter: birdrockcc.org

Requests for additional testing and issues with funding repeatedly delayed the project, which will stabilize the bluff at Midway Street that began deteriorating 15 years ago. Construction is expected to take four months, but a start date has not been announced. ■ E-waste collection event: Bird Rock Elementary School will host an e-waste recycling event, all day Saturday, Jan. 16. “If you have electronic items to get rid of, it’s a great way to do so and support the school,” Bell encouraged. ■ Next meeting: BRCC meets 6 p.m. first Tuesdays at various locations.

The fall sports’ regular seasons have ended as La Jolla High School’s girls volleyball team (pictured, with coach Drew Burdette), boys water polo team and field hockey team look forward to the playoffs.

Playoffs ahead in volleyball, water polo, field hockey BY JAMES PALEN ■ Girls Volleyball After defeating the Academy of Our Lady of Peace Pilots 3-2 on the road Nov. 4, the La Jolla High School Vikings fell to the Cathedral Catholic Dons at home on Nov. 6 by a score of 3-0 in their final regular season match, ending their home winning streak as they prepare for the CIF San Diego Section playoffs. Seeded No. 5 in the Open Division bracket, La Jolla (19-10, 7-3) is set to square off against San Dieguito Academy in the opening quarterfinals playoff match at 5 p.m. Nov. 13 at San Dieguito Academy. The Vikings would have to get past that match, and then would need to defeat in the semifinals — 7 p.m. Nov. 17 — the winner of the other quarterfinals match between Torrey Pines and Francis Parker, to advance to the section’s Open Division finals. Should the Vikings advance to the semifinals, the Nov. 17 match would be held at La Jolla High School if they play Francis Parker, or at Torrey Pines if they face the Falcons. The finals are 6:15 p.m. Nov. 21, on Cathedral Catholic High School’s courts. ■ Boys Water Polo La Jolla High School’s boys water polo team fell to the Vista Panthers Nov. 5, then defeated the Carlsbad Lancers 14-13 at home on Nov. 6 to conclude their regular season play with an overall record of 11-15 and a City Western League record of 0-6. Ranked No. 10 in the CIF San Diego

Section’s Division 1 Power Rankings, La Jolla missed the eight-team cutoff for Open Division qualification but earned a No. 2 seed in the Division 1 bracket. The Vikings will enjoy a bye in the opening playoff round, and will in the Nov. 14 quarterfinals face the winner of the first-round game between Canyon Crest Academy and Serra High School. Looking ahead, the Division 1 semifinals are scheduled for Nov. 18, while the finals begin at 4:45 p.m. Nov. 21 at La Jolla High School’s Coggan Pool. ■ Field Hockey A pair of victories in the final two regular season games for the La Jolla High School field hockey team, on Nov. 6 against the Mission Bay Buccaneers and Nov. 9 against the Madison Warhawks, led the Vikings to final regular season records of 11-10-1 overall and 3-2 in the City Western League. Ranked No. 15 in the most recent CIF San Diego Section’s Division 1 power rankings, La Jolla would, as of Nov. 10, not qualify for the top-eight Open Division tournament, but would be a No. 7 seed in the Division 1 playoff bracket. That would set the Vikiungs up for a Nov. 14 first-round playoff game at home against the No. 10 seed, which as of Nov. 10 was University City. A start time for the game was not set as of press time. Should the Vikings succeed in that first round, they would have to win in the Nov. 17 quarterfinals and the Nov. 19 semifinals to advance to the Division 1 finals, 1 p.m. Nov. 21 at on the San Diego Academy field.

It was a move that changed her life. There she met Creighton Gallaway.

Both were members of the Duncan High School marching band. Their first date almost didn’t happen.

The family moved to La Jolla in 1970 when Creighton became Executive Vice President of General atomics. over the years, Charlotte spent countless hours volunteering for her

children’s schools and sports teams and helping needy children through the assistance League.

BY BILLY WYATT or La Jolla High seniors, last Friday’s Homecoming/Senior Night game couldn’t have ended soon enough, as the Vikings’ homecoming concluded with a 44-7 loss Nov. 6 to the Point Loma Pointers. It was a tough end to the regular season, as playoffs lie ahead. The evening’s brightest moments came before the game, when La Jolla recognized eight senior varsity players in a ceremony featuring introductions with the players’ families, friends and mentors. Jonathon Levenson, Trenton Fudge, Casey Brown, Chase Penrith, Jesus Manzano, Nico Pestana, Alex Lopez and Oscar Grossman were all distinguished for their hard work and team-first mentalities. The ceremony also featured the NFL Golden Football Trophy, awarded in recognition of La Jolla alumnus John Michels. A 1992 La Jolla High graduate, Michels went on to play at University of Southern California before being selected in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. He earned a Super Bowl ring in Super Bowl XXXI, when the Packers defeated the New England Patriots, and is today the only La Jolla High alumnus to play in the NFL’s championship game. On the field, the Vikings scored their lone touchdown in the fourth quarter, after already trailing the Pointers by 37 points. Point Loma added one last touchdown in the final minutes of the game. Point Loma quarterback Brenden Torrence and running backs Tshombre Carter and Jaylen Griffin combined to bring Point Loma 364 total offensive yards. Taking advantage of several Vikings missteps, the Pointers held a lead in each of the four quarters. The Vikings’ regular season saw many ups and downs. Labeled the underdog in many contests, the team faced adversity — from its lack of roster depth to its strength of schedule — yet may have surprised a few with its heart and its upset of the Christian High School Patriots in early October. La Jolla’s head coach, Jason Carter, said that despite the rough end to the Vikings’ regular season, which included four straight losses after a 3-3 start, the Vikings head into the playoffs with a clean slate. “It’s a new season now, moving forward, the boys have a 0-0 record,” Carter said.

The winner will advance to the Nov. 20 quarterfinals to play the top-seeded Bonita Vista Barons in Bonita. The Vikings will enter the playoffs having suffered several player injuries in their Nov. 6 game. La Jolla’s junior varsity team has concluded its season, finishing with a 28-7 loss to Point Loma and an overall record of 4-4-1. ♦

La Jolla yogi creates exercise app for new moms BY ASHLEY MACKIN s any new mom knows, life with a new baby is chaotic. Blissful, but chaotic. And yoga instructor and personal trainer Magdalena Patterson knows it, first hand. After her daughter Alessandra was born 13 months ago, Patterson of La Jolla wanted to get back into an exercise routine, but couldn’t find the time. “You don’t even have time to take a shower, let alone workout,” she said. “At the same time, you are under pressure to drop the weight, so a lot of new moms feel lost and don’t know where to start.” To answer the call, Patterson created an exercise app called Mommy Workouts, with nine, five-minute exercise videos that can be done anytime the baby is asleep or otherwise distracted. (Patterson’s preference was the baby swing or outside with baby Alessandra in a stroller). The workouts use yoga-based calisthenics exercises that do not require any equipment. “All of the workouts use simple movements for all levels,” she said. “If you look at how people exercised before there was a gym, they used basic movements and their own body weight — squats, lunges, sit ups, push-ups — which is what these workouts are based on.” Patterson said the workouts could be done one at a time, or a few in a row, or the same one a few times through.

Teen introduces blind students to drumming BY EMILY SORENSON cott Bauersfeld used his senior project to share his love of drumming with blind students from the Braille Institute in La Jolla. Bauersfeld, who is a member of the Poway High School Emerald Brigade, taught 11 students how to drum, and then invited them to join the marching band’s drum line at the Oct. 30 football game. Bauersfeld said he was inspired after learning that several blind people had learned to raft down the Colorado River in the same program he experienced. “I was thinking this summer of what I wanted to do (for my project), and I figured, if blind

people could raft, they could play the drums.” He contacted the Braille Institute to see if students would be interested, and ended up with 11 of them, ranging from fourth-graders to seniors in high school. “At first, I didn’t know exactly what to do,” he said. “I started with the basics with drum pads, like I would teach anyone (starting out on drums).” As the students progressed, Bauersfeld had them move to using drum kits owned by the Institute. “It wasn’t a big deal that they couldn’t see the music,” he said. “I had them do a drum SEE DRUMMING, B9

Thinking outside the wall

La Jolla Cultural Partners

don’t usually write about political topics because it just isn’t my area of expertise, but this whole immigration thing has prompted me to weigh in where my husband assures me I shouldn’t. I should mention that my husband is a Republican and I am not, so you might imagine that dinner table conversation on this topic is spirited. It just seems to me that the Republican presidential candidates are not thinking outside the wall. We who live in San Diego have an obvious interest in immigration issues since we are a) on the Mexican border, and b) have a high population of the very individuals that the Republican candidates wish to evict. The current crop of GOP candidates seem really fixated on building a Great Big Wall along the U.S. border with Mexico similar to the one in China only with more barbed wire. This will allegedly put a stop to the entry of rapist-drugdealer-criminals. Then the only problem is to repatriate the undocumented folks who are already here. Voilà! America will be great again. Since the office-seekers don’t live on the border, or even in California, I feel compelled, despite my husband’s entreaties,

to point out some issues they should be considering, and even some alternatives. First: San Diego, and California in general, is known as a place that not only has a high population of undocumented persons, but shamelessly employs them as well. There’s a long-standing joke in San Diego that nobody in the county could run for a high public office because we’ve all hired undocumented workers. Except, of course, that it’s not a joke. We really can’t. It was no accident that on the podium of the Republican presidential debates, there was a candidate from every state except California. Even when you hire an “American” company, the people who are dropped off at your home are often undocumented, especially if a part of the job is particularly nasty. As it turns out, the homeowner is in violation of the law even if he/she didn’t hire the illegals themselves. This means that there are no lack of U.S. citizen miscreant-scofflaw-malfeasants in San Diego who will need to be harshly dealt with as well. The current plan, as espoused by one of the Republican candidates, is to deport the undocumenti at a rate of some 500,000 a month over two years, assuming a figure of

11 million illegal aliens in the country. But now certain office-seekers are saying the number could be as high as 34 million. Seriously, folks, could we pin this down? It’s going to be tough nut to meet your eviction quota if you don’t even know how many you have in the first place. This could be a new question on the California State high school exit exam: If the President wishes to deport undocumented aliens, including their anchor baby offspring, at rate of 11 to 34 million in 18 to 24 months, how many INS helicopters will he need in the sky before it looks like the Ride of the Valkyries scene in “Apocalypse Now”? The next issue is one they haven’t thought out at all: Beware of what you wish for. Once the wall is up and the undocumented are gone, the only produce the U.S. is going to be eating will be from Guadalajara, at least until all those unemployed Americans who have been pining for careers as tomato pickers come up to speed. It will be a YOOGE boon to the Mexican economy. And here’s another short-term issue the Republicans haven’t thought through: one Republican contender claims he will force Mexico to pay for the Great Wall by imposing sanctions. Good luck with that! The Mexicans can just withhold the veggies. Sort of a guns-for-cauliflower thing. The average American doesn’t care about NAFTA worker visas but don’t mess with the availability of organic kale. This whole deportation scheme will be tremendously time consuming and expensive, no matter how you look at it. So if I were a Republican president, I’d just cede the entire county of San Diego back to Mexico, thereby deporting the

Heck, while you’re at it, let Mexico have the whole state. Trying to clear the undocumenteds out of the Central Valley agricultural areas is going to be onerous at best. It doesn’t matter if Mexico even wants us. If you can make Mexico build a wall, you can make them take California. Surely some legal hotshot can find a loophole that will void the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo by which the U.S. acquired California. Then: all yours, Mexico! Not to worry, it was a blue state anyway. ♦ — Look for La Jolla resident Inga’s lighthearted looks at life in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

Mesmerizing Memoir

Woman discovers her grandfather was Nazi ‘Butcher of Płaszów’ BY DIANA SAENGER Many of us think we know who we are, but every once in a while a surprise reveals we don’t know everything about our past. That’s what happened to Jennifer Teege when she discovered her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the real-life Nazi “Butcher of the Płaszów” concentration camp, portrayed in “Schindler’s List.” Teege will talk about her extraordinary experience, as a guest of the 21st annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair, 7:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15 at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive. Included in the $20.50 cost of admission will be a 5:30 p.m. screening of the film, “Inheritance,” which details the story of Monika Goeth, daughter of Amon, and Teege’s mother. Teege was born in Germany to a German mother and Nigerian father. Her mother left her abusive father and placed the 4-week-old Jennifer in an orphanage. Her mother and grandmother made only occasional visits to see her. “When I was 3, I went to live with a foster family who adopted me when I was 7 years old,” Teege said. “I wasn’t sad. I felt lucky and happy that I got a foster family. It was better than being in the orphanage, and it was a loving family with two adopted brothers.” Growing up in a happy home, Teege was able to make her own pathway. She lived in Israel for four years and became fluent in

Teege made a trip to the library and picked up a book at random. After scanning through it, she was hit by a tornado — the realization her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the infamous Nazi commandant of Płaszów concentration camp, and her kind grandmother lived with him at the camp as well. “To discover this important piece of my identity was shocking by itself, but then learning the details I only understood after reading the book, made it even worse. I had no knowledge about this story from my family.” She said it took some time before she broke the news to her husband and sons. “I was trying to cope with it myself, which took months and years,” she said. “I was getting help from a therapist and it wasn’t something I shared with my kids as they were only in preschool. But later in life I thought it was important to tell them because a family secret can become toxic due to guilt or shame. I believe it was better to lift these secrets so they could process it.” After time, Teege co-partnered with journalist Nikola Sellmair to write her memoir, “My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Black Woman Discovers Her Family’s Nazi Past.” “It wasn’t something I decided immediately, it was a process,” she said. “It’s an individual story, but with so many universal aspects that I thought it was worthwhile to share. I understood when I

was in Israel that the story was bigger than myself. I hope people can understand why it’s important to see the difference between my biological grandfather and my character inside.” For now, Teege intends on continuing her speaking tours, many of which attract concentration camp survivors. She said she finds the encounters are beneficial to her and those in attendance. “This summer I was in New York and a woman over age 90 was there, a survivor,” Teege said. “We had a conversation, and she gave me a book she wrote about her life after the war. She came to Sweden, and later to the States, and despite all the past, has been able to have a full life. She’s learning ballroom dancing at 90. She hugged me and told me that my book gives her some closure. “I met another survivor when I spoke in Israel. His daughter told me he was the son of the shoemaker who made my grandfather’s shoes. He shared all kinds of details with me about his experiences, and his family said he’d never done that before, and that I was his best birthday present. … These are only a few examples of how this book touches others and they touch me.” ♦ ■ Event tickets can be purchased at (858) 457-3030 or lfjcc.org and the Jewish Book Fair runs through Nov. 16.

Do You Hear But Not Always Understand? Find out why during a special hearing health open house event! Free Hearing Exams*! Next Week Only! November 16th - 20th Call for your complimentary appointment today.

The eardrum is located at the end of your ear canal. Your ear drum catches sound waves, vibrates, and begins a chain reaction. Your eardrum is connected to the first of three bones. We will check to ensure your eardrum is healthy.

When the hair cells move, they send an electrical impulse through the Auditory Nerve to your brain. Then you hear sound!

This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.

Hearing Problem #1 The ear canal’s job is to funnel sound to your ear drum. Sometimes the canal becomes plugged with wax, and mimics a hearing loss because it blocks sound from reaching your eardrum. Use of a cotton swab will pack wax even more. We will check for impacted wax with a video ear camera to see if this is a problem.

Hearing Problem #2 The three tiny bones of your middle ear Auditory Cortex conduct sound between your ear drum and of the brain your cochlea. Otosclerosis is the calcification of these bones, resulting in conductive hearing loss. About 10% of people have this type of loss.

Hearing Problem #3 The cochlea is a snail-shaped organ containing thousands of living hair cells called stereocilia. A condition known as sensorineural hearing loss (nerve type hearing loss) occurs when any of the hair cells become damaged.About 90% of hearing loss is this type. A new hearing device has now been released that is programmed specifically for the frequencies of hair cells that are damaged, resulting in improved speech understanding.

Real Es tate TODAY by Janet Douglas

Preparing your House for “Show and Sell”

Cleaning your house for selling is like a spring cleaning on steroids! A few helpful reminders are that bedside stands should be nearly empty. Closets should be removed of any unnecessary items so that they appear large. Kitchen counters should be clear (many things on the counters hints that you do not have adequate storage space). Windows should be cleaned inside and out and window coverings left open in most cases. Appliances, even if not included in sale price should be spotless inside and out. Many buyers base their opinion on the overall maintenance of the home by the condition of the appliances. (You would be surprised how many people open an oven door!) It is hard to always be ready to show, but remember, your house has become an asset you are trying to sell for the most money possible. It is not there for your comfort right now. Hard to do, but worth the inconvenience.

La Jolla teen builds own realistic flight simulator BY JAMES PALEN During the past several months, when he hasn’t been in school or working with friends who are also on his school’s competitive robotics team, 17-year old Aidan Fay of La Jolla has spent much of his time figuring out how to connect a virtual reality to a physical one. Fay hopes one day to be a licensed pilot. He’s had a fascination with flying since he was a young boy. Earlier this year, he decided to further his interest by designing a mock cockpit that could be used in conjunction with a computer flight simulator program he had been using, Prepar3D developed by Lockheed Martin. But that’s just a sliver of a grander story of this Francis Parker School junior, who has faced head-on with growing innovation trials that just a year ago he never thought he’d face. When he began making his first cockpit simulator, Aidan started small, building what he needed for a mechanized and computer-connected cockpit in the likeness of a World War II-era plane’s cockpit. Some of his first creations were aimed at making a more realistic steering environment. He took apart joysticks to create something resembling what would be in a World War II-era plane. From there, he integrated switches, using materials he could come across to build each of the cockpit components, whether it was PVC pipe for throttle handles or bungee cord providing needed tension in the rudder pedals. “Aiden has always been a builder, and he’s

PHOTOS BY JAMES PALEN

Passionate about aviation since childhood, Aidan Fay, 17, has built his own flight simulator cockpit and integrated it with a computer flight simulator program. always loved planes,” Fay’s mother, Melissa Fay, said. The process began about a year ago, when Aidan started building what his mother recognized only as “little boxes on his desk.” “He explained to me these were cockpit switches,” Melissa said, adding that Aidan didn’t like that he was stuck using a mouse and a joystick with his computer games. “It didn’t feel real to him. He wanted to have more things he could actually touch.”

After already building that first cockpit, Aidan’s interest in flying elevated to a desire to start actual flying lessons. He got himself involved with the Young Eagles, a program of the Experimental Aircraft Association to provide young people interested in flying chances to fly general aviation aircraft. After meeting the head of information technology at the USS Midway, Aidan began summertime work configuring and installing flight simulators.

During that summer came Aidan’s decision: he had to fly. But following his first lesson in a Cessna 172, he realized his cockpit wouldn’t be helpful for practicing what he’d be learning in flying lessons with more modern aircraft. His solution was to start building a second cockpit, one more suitable for practicing flight in a Cessna. That cockpit today, combined with the computer it’s connected to, takes up nearly half the space in his bedroom. It sits opposite the wall on which Aidan’s electric guitar, also homemade — from a kit, Aidan notes — hangs. “These are for running different scripts,” Fay said, sitting in the cockpit and indicating how the controls he’s built, such as the throttle and flaps, are connected to work with the computer program. Rather than operating the computer program with a mouse or joystick, Fay works the program from inside his cockpit. When he pulls in on the throttle he built, or otherwise makes adjustments in the cockpit, it communicates with the computer program to do what he wants. He utilized a number of components to make it work, and placed each of the controls in the same position as can be seen in the computer program or in a real Cessna cockpit. The resemblance is there, down to the cockpit color scheme. Among the most critical components are the Arduino microcontrollers he’s used in both his first and latest cockpits. They allow him to digitize the physical adjustments he

A pair of Oculus virtual reality 3D goggles is also connected to the system, so that although the space I front of him is occupied by his cockpit dashboard, he can still see what the computer software intends for him to see — a 360-degree view of his virtual flying landscape — without having to turn his head to look at the computer monitor. Aidan’s mother points out that he saved money to buy the developer’s edition of the goggles, since they hadn’t been released to the public yet. In the lead-up to all that, Aidan faced a challenge he hadn’t expected, but that fueled his push to succeed at building his second cockpit. He had begun flying lessons, but they were not inexpensive. Aidan’s parents agreed to let him continue if he was able to secure scholarship money for the lessons, which they also agreed to match. But there, Aidan hit a roadblock. The first scholarship he applied for required a medical certification, and through his exam, Aidan and his family found out that because of a mild preexisting medical condition he had been diagnosed with as a young child, he could not be medically certified. The same limitation would apply when seeking a pilot’s license. “It was the worst month ever,” Melissa said of the time through which Aidan’s family considered appealing the decision. A medical examiner recommended by others concluded that Aidan may have an easier time at getting a different decision when he’s older, but said that to try to appeal the decision now could prove costly, and not guarantee a reversal. “It was like the loudest sound of

Melissa said that even if he wasn’t able to get his pilot’s license in the foreseeable future, he could learn something from the lessons and still use the knowledge through the future. The Fay family hopes that as Aidan gates older, the mild form of the medical condition he was diagnosed with will become less relevant. Coincidentally, when Aidan presented his

cockpit simulator at San Diego Maker Faire 2015 in October, he spoke with a Southwest Airlines pilot who faced a similar situation when he was younger. That pilot’s story provides even more hope for Aidan that someday, he’ll be able to get a pilot’s license. “Back in the day, he wasn’t allowed to fly, either, because his vision wasn’t good enough,” Aidan said. “And then, regulations changed. And he’s an airline pilot (now).” Getting the simulator to Maker Faire wasn’t easy. “It was horrible,” Aidan said. “I didn’t design it with the intention of taking it anywhere. I had to take it apart to get it

out of this room.” Not so horrible was that Southwest Airlines pilot’s assessment of Aidan’s work. “He liked it. The only thing he didn’t like was the rudder pedals, which is the thing I didn’t build,” Aidan said jokingly. Aidan’s projects have brought the Fay family more than a few laughs and good times. His mother jokes that Aidan never used to use the skateboard she and her husband bought him when he was a child, until he needed something to use as a dolly for moving his simulator around — Aidan rebuffs that assertion, saying that he’s used in on occasion before. And Melissa finds joy in every once in a while jumping in the cockpit seat for a shot at staying level throughout a simulated flight. “I can fly it pretty well, it’s super relaxing,” she said. “But I can’t land it. I keep crashing.” All throughout the last few months that Aidan’s been focused on building a first and then a second simulator cockpit, his parents have learned to take it all in stride, and ask fewer questions each time Aidan proposes a change or addition. “With each step, it was like a door opening, and it kept getting wider and wider,” she said. “At a certain point, you just kind of trust.” Aidan’s father, Todor, said everything from the cockpits’ humble beginnings to the full-blown creation it is now hasn’t been as surprising as it has been pleasing to watch. “I didn’t think it was as ambitious a project as it turned out it was,” Todor said. That ambition has Aidan considering multiple options for when he finishes high school. He’s gone from thinking solely about focusing on aeronautical engineering to now SEE FLIGHT SIMULATOR , B26

FROM YOGA APP, B1 “With my background as a yoga teacher and personal trainer, I know that you don’t need a lot of time or do a big workout all at once. Just a few minutes here and there,” she said. “Every little bit counts.” Patterson said — speaking from experience — that those who do the workouts typically start to feel a difference before they see a difference, but with these types of exercises, results start to show within three weeks. “After nine months of being pregnant and maybe not being able to workout the way you once did, or just feeling really heavy and bloated, moms can do these little workouts and feel good about themselves because they completed them,” she said. From there, Patterson said, those who do these workouts can start to see improvement. “You start to realize you can do 10 pushups instead of five, or hold plank position for 30 seconds instead of 10 seconds, or can do the whole workout without being out of breath, or can repeat the workout,” she said. To reach as many moms as possible, Patterson decided to make an app that can be downloaded to any Apple or Android device. “My goal was to make the app really user-friendly,” she said. “When I was a brand new mom, I was always on my phone, looking at other baby apps such as those that record nursing schedules or diaper changes, and taking pictures. I wanted Mommy Workouts to be right there with the other apps.” Further, she said many other exercise apps require the participant input their age, weight and goals before they start, and

Magdalena Patterson and her daughter Alessandra record their activity afterward. “I know I couldn’t deal with that,” she joked. With the Mommy Workouts app, participants simply push play, and follow along with the video.

At The Marine Room, Every Meal is a Special Occasion.

The videos feature Patterson doing these exercises, including voice-over instructions and ways to modify, and were all filmed in La Jolla. “Before I came up with the app, I

would film little bits of workouts and post them on Instagram. But the thing I got the most feedback on was how beautiful the background was!” she said. “So I thought about the moms that might not live here … and how I could bring that beautiful surrounding to their living rooms. They can see the sunshine and the ocean to brighten up their day.” Many of videos feature a guest appearance by baby Alessandra, as some workouts can be done with a baby as a weight. “Doing squats or lunges and lifting a baby is not only good for your muscles, but that repetitive motion is hard! Plus, it’s fun for the baby,” she said. ♦ ■ The app is available for download for $2.99 at leanladiescamp.com

JANE WHEELER

La Jolla photographer Biana Gallo chats with an Ethiopian woman.

Gallo’s images from Ethiopia can be seen at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters.

La Jollan’s photos of Ethiopian villagers on display in Bird Rock BY JANE WHEELER Never-before-seen photographic images from world traveler Briana Gallo of La Jolla are on exhibit through the month of November at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters’ Art & Music Collective, 5627 La Jolla Blvd. Throughout her career, Gallo has taken photos for National Geographic as well as several anthropologists. Her show features images of three tribes in the Omo Valley of Ethiopia, and captures their cultural nuances, which are in danger of being lost due to modern development. Gallo said she started photographing the

tribes in 2014. She found the roads into the Omo are long and best tackled one obstacle at a time. Many of the villages are a cluster of huts — with goat pens and grain cribs along the periphery — everything washed in dust. A number of tribes reside in isolation, in a place that is still raw, natural and timeless. Gallo has a way of forging connections with the people. She gets inside their world, asking them questions, listening with concern to their answers, and turning her lens into a bridge that connects viewers to their story. The tribes are facing difficult times. A

massive hydroelectric dam, Gibe III, is close to completion in the Omo River. The dam was built to support the commercial plantations. However, it’s said the dam will destroy the fragile environment and livelihoods of the tribes, especially those that are closely linked to the river and its annual flood. Many tribes are being evicted to roadside villages without their consent and their ancestral grazing lands are being sold off to investors for commercial plantations. These land grabs, combined with the drought, are leading to starvation in some parts of the

Lower Omo Valley. To learn more, visit brianagallo.com or send her an e-mail at photography@brianagallo.com ■ ALSO ON DISPLAY this month at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is the radiant “Mandala Series” by La Jolla artist Sabrina Molina, as well as the stunning nature photography of Matt Sampson.

SIO hosts Sea-to-Table soiree for sustainable kindred spirits “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned, and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.” — Cree Indian Proverb

recent locavore soiree titled “Sea-to-Table” — a UC San Diego Director’s Circle event hosted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at the Robert Paine Forum with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean — had a guest list that read like a Who’s Who of sustainable scientists and foodies. Local purveyors, restaurateurs, chefs, mixologists, philanthropists and professors contributed their edibles and cooking skills, generosity of heart and spirit, knowledge of sustainable practices, environmentally responsible ethos, and marine research programs to bolster the quality of our lives and the health of our planet. Meeting, greeting and tasting at this event made me feel empowered as part of the solution to the problem of climate change and its horrific effects on ocean marine life. According to Amro Hamdoun, associate professor of toxicology at SIO, “Our health as humans is closely linked to the health of the oceans. They are an important source of food, and the way in which we treat the ocean environment determines both the quality and quantity of food that we can harvest from them. “Research on marine organisms has also been important for improving human health. Historically, studies at SIO have led to a wide range of relevant discoveries from new drugs based on natural marine chemicals to new insights into the treatment of infertility.” Margaret Leinen, SIO director, and UCSD vice chancellor, was particularly excited about oceanic research sourcing marine materials to create a super antibiotic with the potential to ward off MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. The theme of the event, “sustainability in our food, ecosystem and environment,” was incorporated in both sweet and savory delights. Here are some local tidbits that were shared during the evening. • San Diego has been blessed with a bounty of organic farmers who offer their delectables at farmers markets and natural food stores. We have the luxury to live on fresh-picked produce that will not only be supporting these farmers, but also reducing the carbon footprint (i.e. polluting long-distance transportation). • Pescavores can appreciate such purveyors as San Diego-based Catalina Offshore Products, a fine fishmonger distributing sea treasures from southern California and Baja fishermen, such as jumbo scallops, lobster, masago and stone crab. Other local collaborators included Acacia Pacific Aquaculture, Carlsbad Aquafarms, Baja Seas, Baja Wine Food, Janice Dodge, Go Green Agriculture, Planet Rooth, Specialty Produce, and Tuna Harbor Dockside Market.

Back at the party, the gourmet food stations included wood-charred sweet potatoes with pickled fall vegetables and pistachio pesto (by Chad White, executive chef at La Justina and Común); spiny lobster tacos with chipotle drizzle, jalapeno slaw and tomato mint salsa on a house made corn tortilla (by chef Trey Foshee, George’s at the Cove and Galaxy Taco); raw sea urchin with pickled cactus nopales, jako baby fish, flying trout roe, red ogo lettuce and kelp with yuzu vinaigrette (chef Andrew Spurgin of Bespoke Event Styling); and “surf and turf” with yellowtail hiramasa Baja with chiles, lime juice and coconut drizzle (Javier Plascencia, executive chef at Misión 19, Finca Altozano, and Bracero).

A megapod of common dolphins swims off the La Jolla coast. PHOTOS BY JEREMY W. SMITH

A long-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus capensis) porpoising as it travels.

Acrobatic dolphins delight by sheer number

favorite of ocean enthusiasts everywhere is the dolphin. We tend to think of them as happy creatures, because they appear to wear a permanent smile. Dolphins do have strong social structure in which they are very playful, care for their sick, and attend to family members. The common dolphin is the most abundant small cetacean in San Diego waters, although it’s actually two species that are difficult to tell apart. Even when their bodies are half exposed porpoising through

the water, it can be hard to see the differences in coloration. This is the main way to distinguish short-beaked common dolphins from long-beaked common dolphins — relying on beak length is not precise — unless you saw them side by side, and not swimming at up to 25 mph! Common dolphins have a black or dark gray back and white belly, but the color pattern alternates mid-body, giving them a crisscross or hourglass appearance. The area behind the eye and above the pectoral fin is

while boating. Hundreds of common dolphins swimming together (a megapod) may change course to meet up with a boat so they can take turns bowriding. They put on a great show, leaping out of the water, somersaulting and breaching. Baby dolphins (calves) are a special treat to see as they swim alongside mom, getting milk from her for about 10 months after being born. Being surrounded by a sea of dolphins exhaling loudly, putting on aerial displays and bowriding makes you marvel at their maneuverability and agility. They look like they are having the time of their lives. ♦ — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation, working with NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla.

creamy yellow white (the thoracic patch), which sharply contrasts with the gray/black back. In general, the short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) has more white and yellow in its thoracic patch that blends more smoothly with the belly. Short-beaked common dolphins prey on schooling fish like anchovies, and do much of their feeding at nighttime with dives as deep as 650 feet. This behavior takes advantage of the vertically migrating fish schools that approach surface waters during the night hours. During the day, common dolphins mainly rest and socialize. This is when they probably sleep, although they sleep differently than we do. Dolphins rest half their brain at a time (unihemispheric sleep), with one eye closed. Then, they rest the other half. Common dolphins are a staple for whale watching cruises, and a thrill to come upon

Art museum exhibits Hubbell’s ‘wildfire’ watercolors

FROM SDMA REPORTS new exhibit, “James Hubbell: California Wildfire Watercolors,” is on display at The San Diego Museum of Art through Feb. 9, 2016. It features 10 watercolor paintings by the renowned architect and artist, which were executed in the aftermath of the 2003 Cedar Fire that ravaged the San Diego region and destroyed part of the artist’s home. The Hubbell house, which he built in 1958, was widely recognized for its unique sculptural pieces and whimsical appearance. After the historic fire, Hubbell rebuilt the home, which he and his wife still occupy near Julian. This is the first time these works have been displayed since 2003. Hubbell’s influence on the artistic culture of the San

Diego region transcends his work as a painter, sculptor and designer, according to exhibit curator Ariel Plotek, Ph.D., the museum’s associate curator of modern art. Hubbell’s buildings and public park projects have garnered international interest and recognition, and have been featured in numerous articles and books, television programs on the Travel Channel and Home and Garden TV and two documentaries produced by KPBS. ♦
