Several hundred people attend the Dec. 3 public hearing on the potential regulation of short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods.

BY JAMES PALEN The increasingly contentious debate over short-term vacation rentals is set to continue for some time as the San Diego Planning Commission recommended last week that a proposal to regulate such rentals, spearheaded by Councilmember Lorie Zapf, be majorly re-worked before a deciding vote is held on its fate. Presenting the proposal before commissioners during what ended

up a roughly six-hour hearing Dec. 3 in the Copper Room at the City Administration building, Zapf staff member Ryan Purdy offered a plan over which each commissioner expressed concerns.

Community planners approve Dunemere Drive home expansion

ASHLEY MACKIN

Co-owners Paul Misleh and Tony Stray serve up the last two sandwiches from Sandwich Club of La Jolla.

Sandwich Club of La Jolla closes after 30 years in the Village

he Sandwich Club of La Jolla, a 30-year mainstay at 7825 Fay Ave., closed its doors for good Dec. 4. Owner Paul Misleh said he decided to shutter the shop after his lease expired so he could slow down on his workload and ease into retirement. “We’ve had some amazing, loyal customers here,” he said. “Some came here when they were children and now they bring their children. That’s what I’m really going to miss.” Located in the First Choice Executive Suites, also home to the La Jolla Sports Club, the Sandwich Club was known for its “Cassius Clay” pastrami sandwich. ♦

BY ASHLEY MACKIN During its last meeting of 2015 on Dec. 3, La Jolla Community Planning Association (CPA) approved an expansion to the home at 335 Dunemere Drive, on the same Barber Tract block as the historic property once owned by the late Academy-Award winning actor Cliff Robertson and the part-time home of former presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The expansion project would add 510 square feet between the house’s two stories (with 151 square feet added to the first floor and 359 to the second) to accommodate a second-story master bedroom, bathroom and decks, and add area to an existing first-story bedroom and bathroom. The lot is 4,152 square feet. Project representative Sue Skala said adjustments to the project were made in accordance with concerns expressed at sub-committee meetings, chiefly La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee (DPR). She said the project went before DPR four times before it earned the committee’s approval. “We moved the second story (addition) away from the street view corridor to the more open side of the house, and then moved it three more feet from there. We are currently eight feet from the street on the second story, and 18 feet from the street view corridor that looks west to the ocean,” she said. “We reduced the scope of the project

from a two-bedroom, one-bath addition to a one-bed one-bath addition and reduced the (overall) square footage of the addition from 612 square feet to 510 square feet.” The project was slated for full review to afford concerned neighbors the opportunity to comment before the board, however, none were in attendance, and it was noted the annual Barber Tract Neighborhood Association holiday party was being held the same night as the CPA meeting. CPA trustee Mike Costello, speaking as a DPR committee member, said two architects had been “put through the ringer” on this project. “The point I made at DPR … is that this is only about a 500-square-foot addition and owners have done everything they can to help the neighborhood, except not build the addition.” A motion to ratify the recommendation by DPR that the project conforms to the La Jolla SEE PLANNING ASSOCIATION, A4

FROM PLANNING ASSOCIATION, A3 Community Plan for a Coastal Development Permit and Site Development Permit for the additions, passed 11-2-1. An additional project was slated for full review (the proposed lot line adjustment at the Ngala Residence, 5612-5646 Rutgers Road), but representatives did not attend so the item was tabled. On its consent agenda, CPA ratified the findings of its subcommittees on five projects. A sixth project, the Fan Residence at 2488 Hidden Valley Road, was tabled to the January meeting. The project would demolish an existing residence and construct a new one. Projects included and approved through the consent agenda include the Eslamian Residence, AT&T light poles at Mount Soledad Presbyterian Church, Carley residence, Swindle residence and a mixed-use project in Bird Rock. • The Eslamian residence at 7350-7354 Fay Ave., currently has three dwelling units: one at the front facing Fay Ave. and two at the rear next to the alley. The project would demolish both units at rear of the property (7350 & 7352) and build one, three-story unit. The single-family residence at 7354 Fay Ave. would remain. PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN

• An AT&T project at Mount Soledad Presbyterian Church, 6605 La Jolla Scenic Drive, would remove three existing light poles with six-foot panel antennas and 18-inch square radomes, and replace them with three new light poles with 10-foot panel antennas and 24-inch square radomes, with support equipment in the existing enclosure. • Plans for the Carley residence project at 7010 Fairway Road, and the Swindle residence project at 2488 Hidden Valley Road, would demolish an existing single-family residence to construct a new one. • The developer of a mixed-use project in Bird Rock at 5702 La Jolla Blvd., requested building permits and a change to the paint scheme to one more compatible with the surrounding area.

Diane Kane discusses the findings of the ad-hoc committee on residential single-family zoning.

In other CPA news: ■ Mansionization research continues: Diane Kane and Eric Lindebak, representing the ad-hoc committee on residential single-family zoning (aka “mansionization”) presented, at length, the efforts made by the board thus far, primarily in its research. Hoping to deter the mansionization practice (when a developer builds a house too large for its lot and out of character with the surrounding homes), the board has held seven meetings. “Our mission is to develop some feasible strategies because our community plan and municipal zoning code are radically disparate,” Kane said. “The direction we got … was

Sue Skala, representing the Serros Residence on Dunemere Drive, details the project’s expansion plans at the CPA meeting Dec. 3. that the city is open to some modifications (to its development code) but it wants a simple system that can be administered by the city, which balances property rights with community concerns.” No action was taken after the presentation, but Kane said the board would present again when an update was available.

Christmas tree buying in full swing at Mr. Jingle’s La Jolla lot

PHOTIS BY JAMES PALEN

La Jolla resident Chris Dailey watches as Mr. Jingle’s employee Austin Dowd trims the trunk and lower branches of the 8-foot Noble fir Dailey bought Dec. 4 at the La Jolla Mr. Jingle’s Christmas Trees location.

Light up the Holidays

BY JAMES PALEN In its fourth year in La Jolla, Mr. Jingle’s Christmas Trees has become the spot for locals seeking a little, or even up to 15 feet, of Christmas cheer. Noble firs, with their varying heights and sturdy yet elegant structure and appearance, have over the years become a favorite Christmas tree choice for La Jollans, Mr. Jingle’s manager Cristian Valdez said. “We have them anywhere from the Charlie Brown style,” Valdez said as he pointed to a tree perhaps no taller than a couple of feet, “to the big boys right there. With these homes with high ceilings, it makes it perfect for a tree like that.” The 5-foot and 7-foot Noble firs sell the most, but the annual provider of Christmas trees, located from late November until just after Christmas at 6710 La Jolla Blvd. — between Playa Del Sur and Gravilla streets — said it carries varieties suitable for all traditional Christmas tree tastes. Douglas firs, Grand firs, Nordman firs and those Noble firs — all are available at his lot. Which one a customer chooses could depend on how “bushy” he or she likes the tree to be, what shade of green is preferred, and whether a higher tendency for pine needles winding up on a tree’s skirt is acceptable. Douglas firs, for example, have a darker green color than their Noble cousins, and a fuller appearance with a stronger conical shape, he said, but more shedding can be the inevitable result of a Douglas fir’s thicker arrangement of branches. Mr. Jingle’s operates three other locations around San Diego: one in Balboa Park, one at Westfield Horton Plaza and its newest location in Encinitas. With the opening this year of the Encinitas lot, Valdez said, the La Jolla location gained some relief from loyal patrons who used to make their way south for the company’s trees. But even with multiple sister locations serving customers to the south and north, La Jolla’s Mr. Jingle’s still draws regular customers from out of the area. Sean and Deanna Winchell of Mission Valley purchased their 5-foot Noble fir

Reasons not to Mount a TV above a Fireplace

$10 OFF any purchase of $50 or more ore

Although this may be visually pleasing, there are some good reasons that it might not be the best plan. Televisions do not do well with heat and smoke. When exposed to smoke for a long period, the screen and internal components will suffer and lead to issues with the sound, picture or just total malfunction. Even an electric fireplace puts off heat that can damage the set. Most TVs are meant to be viewed at eye level and are calibrated accordingly. Raising that angle can cause the picture to appear washed out and can also be ergonomically wrong for your neck and back. Lastly, building codes usually recommend at least two-inch clearance between combustible electric wires and a fireplace. Although it may look nice to tuck all of the wires behind your TV, the heat from the chimney could cause damage to them or even worse a fire. When looking for homes for sale with TVs over the fireplace, it might be wise to contemplate if you would relocate the TV, thus changing the use of that room.

from La Jolla’s Mr. Jingle’s on Dec. 4. Full of smiles, the two explained that their wedding was just days away, making the upcoming Christmas their first as a married couple. “I’ve actually come up here a couple years in a row,” Sean Winchell said. “I bought a Groupon two years ago, and I really like their selection of trees, so I came back.” As of the end of business on Dec. 2, marking the lot’s first full week in operation during this Christmas season, La Jolla’s Mr. Jingle’s had sold 255 trees. The weekend that followed was expected to mark the lot’s busiest days. “The La Jolla Christmas Parade — we’re just around the corner from it,” Valdez said. “That drives in a lot of people, before and after the parade.” In preparation for such an expectedly busy weekend, Mr. Jingle’s received on Dec. 4 a shipment planned to drop off 500-700 trees, depending on what could fit in the roughly 1.2-acre lot’s available space. That shipment added to the roughly 256 that were already in the lot’s inventory. Valdez said that during the weekends of Dec. 4-5 and Dec. 11-12, he would expect to sell between 150-250 trees each day, perhaps more. Throughout the tree-selling season, which could actually extend a couple of days beyond Christmas, Mr. Jingle’s expects to have stocked its lot with up to 2,500 Christmas trees, worth between $10 and $14 per foot. With several sales employees on staff, the busiest times at Mr. Jingle’s are definitely over the weekends, salesman Lou Taylor said. “All day Saturday and Sunday, and on the weekdays in the evenings,” Taylor said. “You want to come in between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on the weekdays. That’s a good time to come in, just take your time, browse around without being in the middle of that mix.” More than trees, the business carries accessories and decorations, from tree stands and traditional light sets to the relatively new addition of ground-mounted laser lighting that can brighten an entire yard or home’s façade with variations of color. Also popular with La Jollans, Valdez said, are the tree trimmings left over from the post-sale grooming of their

Some customers, he added, come by the lot not to pick up a tree, but just to select some of the day’s freshest trimmings, which are all provided free of charge. “They give the house more of a Christmas feel, on top of having a tree (that’s) decorated,” Valdez said. For those who misjudge the tree size they need — perhaps buying a tree too tall for their ceilings — Mr. Jingle’s allows customers to bring their trees back for shortening, also at no additional cost, Valdez said. A tree that’s cared for well, he added, can last and look good from Thanksgiving through Christmas, and even into

‘Stars’ fundraiser brings 10 local celebs to the dance floor BY ASHLEY MACKIN indi Irwin may have won the mirror-ball trophy on the most recent season of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” but at the San Diego Dancing with the Stars fundraiser, it was all about local movers and shakers. More than 500 attendees watched 10 hometown celebrities cha cha, foxtrot, tango and swing with professional dance partners, Dec. 5 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. While each dancer won an award, such as Judge’s Choice and Audience Choice, MartiGellens-Stubbs won Most Entertaining at the contest. Proceeds from the event benefit the San Diego Police Historical Association, which strives to memorialize officers fallen in the line of duty, and the San Diego Family Justice Center, offering support to victims of domestic violence, child abuse, stalking and sexual assault. Overall, thousands of dollars were raised through ticket sales and the silent and live auctions. Judges included Jonathan Roberts of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” Sheriff William Gore, Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, television personality Event Chair Nancy Gardener Itica Milanes, radio host Billy Ray Smith and philanthropist Ramin Pourteymour. ♦

Don’t let holiday stress burn you out, doc says

eeling a little stressed this holiday season with all the must-do’s added to your already busy schedule? Donna Hamilton, M.D., author of “Wellness Your Way: The Short and Sweet Guide to Creating Your Custom Plan for a Happier, Healthier Life,” shares four tips to help you relax as you navigate your way through holiday hassles. 1) Connect with the spirit of gratitude that marks the season. Research shows that expressing gratitude can help improve mood, increase energy levels, relieve stress and increase motivation, she says. So look for reasons to be grateful during the holidays — whether it’s being thankful for good health, a rewarding career, a loving family or some other positive in your life. 2) Pause for a moment. Remember to take a few deep, relaxing breaths throughout the day no matter how you are feeling. Even positive emotions like excitement and enthusiasm can create stress in the body, just like typical stress emotions like anger and frustration do. That’s why it’s important to periodically do something that promotes relaxation during active times. 3) Make sure you get enough sleep. Your body Donna Hamilton, M.D. needs its rest and a lack of sleep makes it more difficult to deal with the stressful situations you might face through the holidays. With parties to attend, travel schedules to plan and gifts to wrap, it’s easy to trim back the amount of time you normally spend sleeping. Be careful not to let that happen. (This goes for infants and children, too!) 4) Take a walk after you eat a meal. A stroll works two ways for you. It helps you relax and is good exercise. A nice walk is a good way to separate yourself from the pressures you might be feeling. “Many people feel the need to do something for others during the holiday season, but it’s important to remember as you bake pies, wrap gifts or hang decorations, that you also must pay attention to your own physical and mental needs. You can’t give from an empty cup,” Hamilton said. “Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.” ♦

FROM VACATION RENTALS, A1 including thoughts from a few prominent La Jollans. Among the most concerning element of the proposal, from the commissioners’ perspectives, was setting a minimum of 21 days for short-term whole-house rentals, and Commissioner Anthony Wagner wanted strict mechanisms in place to ensure health and safety codes, as well as respect for neighbors. “I believe there’s an opportunity for all players on both sides to be able to continue their existing model and not disenfranchise further the rest of the community,” Wagner said. “The interesting thing to point out for the 300 or 400 people that were here at the beginning (of the hearing) is the bad actors, the bad (landlords), they’re not here. They’re not here just like when there’s a problem, they’re not there for the problem. How do we not decimate a business, and not decimate a community?” The commission voted unanimously to recommend Zapf’s staff further evaluate its proposal before returning for commission approval. The intent, commission chair Tim Golba said, was to have staff take into account the commission’s objection to the minimum stay requirement and its support for some mechanism to make permits for short-term vacation rentals ministerial in nature — instead of discretionary as was proposed — with the potential for triggers that could weed out “bad actors.” A switch to discretionary permitting for individual violators of whatever rules are adopted was among the ideas with commission support.

Joe LaCava speaks out against short-term, whole-house vacation rentals in residential zones at the Dec. 3 public hearing before the San Diego Planning Commission. “We don’t really feel like this is all that close,” Golba said. A continuation date was set for Jan. 28, 2016, though the recommendation is not binding, and Zapf’s office could elect to bypass further review from the Planning Commission and go straight to requesting the proposal next be heard by the City Council instead. Purdy said it was too early to tell which direction Zapf’s office will choose. Although those who came forward with criticism of short-term rentals appeared to favor the longer minimum stays — such criticism was often highlighted by photographic and vocal recollections of disruptive parties at rentals near their homes — the commissioners generally agreed that a 21-day threshold would amount to a de facto ban on the rentals. Each commissioner said that was not something desired.

“We all, including myself, don’t want to be next to the house that has the rowdy parties or has parking problems,” Commissioner Susan Peerson said. “We could say that for more than just vacation rentals. To be effective, this really is a management and enforcement issue, rather than a number of days (issue).” Waving small green flags in lieu of applause, supporters of less strict rental restrictions showed appreciation for the commissioners’ critique of the plan as a virtual “non-starter,” for a variety of reasons. Equally represented at the hearing, those desiring a more strict approach to rentals regulation pleaded their cases alongside their opposition. They, too, had opportunities to silently show appreciation for certain points raised during public testimony and the commissioners’ comment period, waving signs of their own that read,

“Neighborhoods are for neighbors, not vacation rentals.” La Jollans Barbara Bry and Joe LaCava, each vying to replace termed-out District 1 San Diego Councilmember Sherri Lightner, were among the first members of the public to speak. LaCava stressed the importance and meaning of the September vote of the San Diego Community Planners Committee, which backed the idea of home-sharing in which a property owner is present during a vacationer’s stay, but took issue with parts of Zapf’s proposal as they related to short-term rentals with no property owner present. LaCava suggested the Planners Committee was right in rejecting Zapf’s proposal on a 24-3 vote, and correct in its recommendation that an ordinance be written recognizing short-term vacation rentals as equivalent to traditional “visitor SEE VACATION RENTALS, A28

Dr. Joseph D'Angelo & Dr. Ashley Olson

an Diego City Council members unanimously re-elected Sherri Lightner as council president on Dec. 7, allowing the moderate Democrat from La Jolla to hold the pivotal post for a second consecutive year. Lightner, who will leave office in December 2016 because of term limits, joined with the council’s four Republicans one year ago to take the post away from Democrat Todd Gloria in a 5-4 vote. In stark contrast to last year’s contentious council president vote, Monday’s hearing featured Lightner praising each of her colleagues for their efforts and expressing optimism about the future. “We have a lot to accomplish in the coming year, and I’m looking forward to working collaboratively with each and every one of you to tackle the challenges ahead,” she said. “I’m honored that you all trust and respect my leadership to elect me for a second term.” The council chooses a president once a year. Whoever holds the post plays a key role in making committee assignments and deciding which items come before the panel and when. Lightner, 65, is the first woman to serve as council president, a post created when San Sherri Lightner Diego switched to a “strong mayor” form of government. Three candidates are vying to replace Lighter on the council next year: Republican Ray Ellis and Democrats Barbara Bry and Joe LaCava. Winning that seat won’t include becoming council president, which typically goes to a veteran council member. But a win by Ellis would give the Republicans a 5-4 majority on the council. Lightner is a graduate of Crawford High School and UC San Diego. Before being elected to council in 2008, she served as president of the La Jolla Town Council. Her district includes La Jolla, Carmel Valley, University City and Sorrento Valley.

Christmas Parade director proclaims the pomp ‘polished’ BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO After two cups of coffee the morning of the 58th annual La Jolla Christmas Parade & Holiday Festival, parade director Ann Kerr Bache said she was out the door, her cell phone ringing. A few calls concerned last-minute cancellations, and a few others brought last-minute can-we-joins? but no surprises the veteran of dozens of past parades couldn’t handle. “We’ve got great volunteers and a support staff in place,” she told La Jolla Light, after the Dec. 6 Village extravaganza, “and since the focus is on fun, it all works itself out.” Kerr Bache said this year’s floats were particularly “amazing” for their “polish” and panache. “They all looked so good and worked so well,” she said, adding that their “wow” factors kept the crowd applauding and cheering. “I’m always amazed at how well the kids in the parade do,” she said. “They really seem to enjoy the experience and perform their various roles like young professionals. I think it’s great that by watching the different parade entries, the community is reminded of all the hard work and philanthropic work so many residents are involved in.” She also pointed out that this year’s marching bands, representing schools up and down the coast, kept the “wow” factor going strong with their holiday music, stunning uniforms and precise maneuvers. Kerr Bache said the Monday before the parade, she was shy the required funds (about $75,000) to cover parade expenses. However, after a few phone calls, generous benefactors made it all happen. “I can still do with some donations because the more I get, the more I can give the bands for their music programs,” she said. “The biggest bill comes from the police department and the city. Donation information is at ljparade.com” Kerr Bache said she wanted to thank so many people for donating time and talent and funding for the parade. “It looked to me like attendance was down a bit from last year, probably due to the Chargers game at the same time and the San Diego Dancing with the

Stars event the night before, but the parade went off without a hitch and hundreds of people enjoyed the afternoon.” The parade paid tribute to the La Jolla Recreation Center’s 100th year, which was marked with a community celebration in July. The 2015 parade theme

was “100 Years of Christmas Cheer.”

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Road’s safety in question The main road near Su Casa restaurant needs a serious safety review, particularly since changes in that area are being planned, as reported in the Dec. 3 La Jolla Light. The road has a dangerous curve, drivers speed there all the time, visibility is difficult around that bend at night, and it’s nearly impossible to cross the street safely. Given its width, involved officials should consider putting in a rotary to slow traffic, make it safer for pedestrians to cross, and ultimately more attractive for all. — Janet Andrews

Traffic dangers with new plan Think anything can be done to remove the traffic-slowing device on West Muirlands Drive by the La Jolla Country Club and La Jolla High School? It surely has collected its share of mishaps by now. It’s extremely hard to see when the shadow from the large tree overwhelms it daily. I’m not sure how any large emergency responders can navigate that maze. Why not replace it with modern technology, like a pedestrian activated blinking light? This has been used so successfully for many years in Del Mar. — Tom Sprague

Build better. Not bigger Randy Levinson’s letter in the Dec. 3 La Jolla Light issue, “Some residents may be in favor of so-called Mansionization,” is misleading. He’s a real estate developer who calls his concerned neighbors “a small minority who are pushing an agenda to suit their own personal desires.” But in truth, the majority of Bird Rock residents love their quaint little neighborhood, and we feel saddened and helpless as we watch it being destroyed one house at a time. Nobody is suggesting that we not rebuild the aging cottages, nor are we suggesting they be kept to the original 900 square feet. We’re objecting to disproportionately large homes on tiny lots.

Most Bird Rock homes have already been enlarged over the years while still retaining the beautiful character of the community. My own home was enlarged by a previous owner to 2,400 square feet, yet from the street, it still looks like a cute little cottage with a lovely garden. There are many more like mine, and they’re a far cry from the monstrous boxes currently being built on every street. Many of these new homes lack aesthetic details, and they’re built all the way to the lot lines so the neighbors have lost their privacy and natural light. Obviously the builders of these homes are only concerned with maximizing interior square footage for maximum future profit. Mr. Levinson calls these large homes “family-sized," but since when does a family need a huge home to raise children? We’re a family of five with three grown boys who comfortably live at home while attending local colleges. Despite the narrow lot, our house is so well designed that there’s plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. It proves the viability of “Building Better, Not Bigger.” Yes, there is market demand for houses of all sizes, but there are plenty of neighborhoods where the lots are larger and huge houses aren’t an eyesore. So why build them here? Perhaps we should consider the message we’re sending to the children in this “family-friendly" neighborhood. While we should be promoting individual responsibility and reducing environmental impact, these homes are setting an example of greed and selfishness at the expense of others. Is that really what we want to teach our children? — Devra Doiron

Everyone’s input welcome on mansionization issue In response to the letter in the Dec. 3 issue, “Some La Jolla residents may be in favor of Mansionization,” I am glad to see that the conversation may be expanding beyond the ad hoc committee’s public meetings. Unlike the letter writer’s allegation, there is no small group forcing its opinion, but rather volunteers trying to engage in a community-wide

conversation. Further, the scope of the committee’s work is more robust than the soundbites would suggest. I proposed, and the La Jolla Community Planning Association ratified, the following scope for the Ad Hoc Committee on Residential Single-Family (RS) Zoning: 1) conduct work sessions open to the public, 2) invite the public and the industry to participate to ensure robust discussion, 3) build community consensus on any proposed zoning or community plan changes, 4) compare homes built under categorical exemption (51-percent rule) versus those under Coastal Development Permits, 5) consider reconciling generic zoning regulations with the La Jolla Community Plan, and 6) consider amending categorical exemption for coastal development permits. That seems a healthy basis for a community conversation and I invite the author and all interested parties to join in. For the next meeting, visit lajollacpa.org/agendas.html — Joe LaCava, Past President, La Jolla Community Planning Association

Correction In the Dec. 3 La Jolla Light issue, it was reported Michael Blumenthal, an investor in the WindanSea development One Neptune Place, was listed as a buyer in a pending transaction for the purchase of the Su Casa restaurant and apartment property along La Jolla Boulevard, which is proposed for demolition and redevelopment. The Light has been notified that while Blumenthal had an offer on the property, he decided to withdraw it and is no longer a potential buyer of the property. ♦

Representing Councilwoman Lorie Zapf, Ryan Purdy proposes an ordinance that would change how short-term vacation rentals in the city’s residential zones are regulated. FROM VACATION RENTALS, A18 accommodations,” which are not permitted to operate in residential zones under San Diego Municipal Code. “The Community Planners Committee overwhelmingly supported the concept of home-sharing, but short-term rentals are prohibited in the Municipal Code,” LaCava said. “We should strictly enforce that.” Jonah Mechanic, spokesperson for San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance, said that portion of the Municipal Code is subject to interpretation, as it does not specify rules for single-family homes operating as individual rental units. As Mechanic understands it, the code was aimed at forbidding hotels in the traditional sense from operating in residential zones. The modern idea of short-term vacation rentals does not conflict with the intended

purpose of that code, he said. Bry offered opinions on the proposal that were similar to LaCava’s, but placed hers on the backdrop of striking a balance between rental operations that help landlords earn extra income and the retention of the character and safety of neighborhoods. “I’m in favor of home-sharing, of allowing homeowners the ability to rent out a room in their house, if they are on site and they pay the appropriate taxes,” Bry said. “I oppose commercial whole-house rentals on a short-term basis in residential neighborhoods.” Housing in San Diego, she added, is already in short supply, further creating concern for her over the rentals. “Turning single-family neighborhood homes into permanent vacation rentals only makes housing less affordable,” Bry said. ♦ — La Jolla Light will continue to file updates on this hot-button story.

Experience exceptional service in The Empress Hotel’s newly renovated Superior King room.

Live like a Royal at Empress Hotel in the Village

BY MARTI GACIOCH “Many La Jollans have friends and family coming to town who need a local hotel to stay in, and we'd like them to consider The Empress Hotel as an extension of their own home for their visitors,” said Joel Majors, general manager. The Empress on Fay Avenue in the Village Center always had a lot to offer, but now this boutique hotel has even more — owners recently completed a $2 million renovation project of the 73 spacious guest rooms. The all-new décor features a turquoise-and-beige color scheme that reflects La Jolla's spectacular beach and Cove scene, which is all just a short walk away. All rooms are calming and relaxing, said Majors, enabling guests to slow their pace and enjoy the peaceful ambience of The Empress and its lovely neighborhood right in the heart of La Jolla's historic Village. The smoke-free, pet-friendly rooms feature plantation shutters, plush bedding, soft spa-like bathrobes and bathroom amenities. Every guest room comes equipped with Wi-Fi, a 37-inch flat screen TV, small refrigerator and microwave. Guests may dine in The Empress' on-site restaurant or have meals delivered to their rooms. An on-site bar and lounge are also available. In the morning, a deluxe complimentary breakfast with gourmet

coffee and a newspaper awaits hotel guests. The Empress offers 24-hour concierge service, two meeting rooms, laundry facilities, a fitness center and dry-cleaning service. Rooms are ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant. Because La Jolla is such a walkable community, it’s easy for guests to stroll the picturesque surroundings and visit the nearby Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and other galleries. Walking to La Jolla's restaurants, cafés, designer and specialty boutique shops is just part of the Village charms — the pace is easy going without the need for a car. For those visitors who want to experience some of San Diego's other famous attractions, like the internationally famous San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Old Town and Gaslamp District, it's an easy drive. Clientele from all points on the globe have stayed at The Empress Hotel, according to Majors, who added that group rates are available for wedding parties, anniversaries, graduations and other special events. ■ The Empress Hotel is at 7766 Fay Ave., La Jolla.

‘Nicest Person in the World’

Captain Michelle Canale retires from Fire Station 13 BY ASHLEY MACKIN ire Station 13 in La Jolla bid farewell to Capt. Michelle Canale Dec. 3 as she retired after 20 years of service. In a lively gathering of lifeguards and firefighters, the station at 809 Nautilus St. was packed with well-wishers at her going away party. “Every day is different in this job,” she said, of what she would miss about her post. “You go out every day to help people. Sometimes it’s a fire, sometimes it’s helping someone elderly who fell, but it’s all about helping people. But when someone calls 911, they are usually pretty desperate. So you have to learn to be patient and compassionate. When I walk into an emergency situation, I always say ‘my name is Michelle and I’m here to help.’ It makes it that much easier for people, because it’s an intense moment for them. They are at their worst.” With decades in the rescue biz, Canale started her career later than most (she became a firefighter at age 42). And despite the physical challenges, the 5-foot-5 Orange County native was always up to the task. Canale began her career via the San Diego lifeguards at La Jolla Cove, thanks to her now-husband Jimmy, who guarded there. When the two met, he convinced Canale to join him in lifeguard service. But as a lifelong water-sport enthusiast, it didn’t take much convincing. “My family and I were always swimming and doing water sports. When I was in high school, they didn’t have girls water polo (she graduated high school in 1972, the same year Title IX was signed into law), but I played with the boys,” she said. She also was a competitive wind-surfer SEE CAPTAIN CANALE, B10

Vow to have your wedding at The Wedding Bowl?

■ Here’s how to go about it!

BY ASHLEY MACKIN he Wedding Bowl — credited as La Jolla’s most sought-after park for weddings — is getting some attention at the hands of the Whale View Point Enhancement Project. Already a popular venue for saying “I Do,” the Wedding Bowl improvements are intended to make the area that much more desirable. La Jolla Light looked into some of the steps involved in celebrating one’s special day there. The Whale View Point Project is run under the auspices of La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group, which assumed management in April 2014 from the La Jolla Conservancy. The project features many tasks for improving the coastal area along the 300-500 blocks of Coast Boulevard, on one of which sits the Wedding Bowl. Partnering with Boy Scout Troop 506 and sister club Venture Crew 506, Whale View Point organizers recently cleaned out the dead overgrown vegetation to reveal the cobblestone wall. The palms trees at the Wedding Bowl also were trimmed recently. Going forward, the area will be re-vegetated with new drought-resistant plants. Also referred to as Cuvier Park, the ocean-facing plot across from the Museum of Contemporary Art La Jolla location, the Wedding Bowl fits 40 people for ceremonies. Receptions are not allowed at the site. Rev. Christopher Tuttle — who owns the domain for theweddingbowl.com — said he created the site as a step-by-step guide to SEE WEDDING BOWL, B27

What could be lurking in Inga’s walls?

A holiday miracle (sort of)

La Jolla Cultural Partners

t was the Monday of Thanksgiving week, three days before the kids and grandtots would be arriving, when my kitchen suddenly smelled like a marlin had died on the counter top. I only had one question: Does God hate me? Even I am not that bad of a housekeeper. I would have noticed a marlin. When a morning spent scrubbing the affected counters did nothing to improve the ever-worsening smell, I finally Googled “bad odor on granite.” The replies were chilling: “It’s not your counter tops. It’s the dead animal in the wall behind them.” Uh-oh. A mere week earlier Olof and I had heard the annual late-fall scurry of little feet in our attic and had put two rat poison baits up there to discourage them. Pest control places tell you never to do that because a rat might die in your wall and then you just have to wait it out (weeks) while it odiferously decomposes. Had we lived back East, it would have turned into a ratsicle and we wouldn’t have known about it until spring. But this is San Diego, having its warmest year in recorded history. I should mention that Olof and I are hardly vermin virgins, having dealt with rats for four decades in this basically indefensible

house. We stage an annual Spring Rodential Offensive when we remove all 800 oranges (rats’ food of choice) from our tree and donate them. Fortunately, rats confine themselves to our attic. But we don’t want them there either since they chew wiring and carry hanta virus. In times past, we’ve had pest control services come put traps up there but it required a two hour window every other day for the pest control guy to come check them. It was just too inconvenient to have our lives controlled by the rat guy. So we just put the rat poison up there in plastic-encased bait traps and have never had anything die in our walls. Until now. I was hoping that maybe the smell wasn’t as bad as I thought. Then my cleaning lady showed up. “Huele muy feo,” she announced. If she says it stinks, it stinks. One of the reasons I love hosting Thanksgiving every year is that I adore the wonderful aromas wafting through the house. This year, they would be interspersed with notes of eau de rodent mort. In desperation, I tried calling pest control places to see if they might have any recommendations, short of breaking through our walls or burning down the

house, both of which seemed suddenly reasonable. Finally I got a place that I’ll call Rotting Rodents R’ Us to come on Wednesday afternoon, mere hours before the family was due to arrive. They weren’t cheap and my husband insisted we were wasting our money. But they said that in the (totally unlikely) event the decedent was in the attic, and not the wall, that removing it could reduce the smell considerably. Alas, when the Rotting Rodents guy climbed down from our attic, he said he couldn’t see or smell anything up there. Dang! But then he says, “Do you have a crawl space under the house?” I’m nominating this guy for sainthood right now. It’s as nasty a spider-filled place as you can imagine. You have to crawl on your stomach, and our kitchen is the farthest point from the entrance. I was already contemplating Plans B through T when the pest guy emerged 10 minutes later, a too-heavy-for rat, mercifully-opaque bag in hand. Holding it up like a Grand Prix trophy, he jubilantly announced, “It was a possum!” Right under my kitchen cabinets. Up close and personal, the horrible smell that had been in my

AMERICA’S GREATEST SONGWRITER COMES TO LIFE L a Jo l l a P l a y h o u s e p re s e n t s

kitchen was now magnified by a factor of 10. In an understatement of horkable oversharing, he added, “The ants and maggots had found it. Mostly only fur left!” I felt my entire last years’ meals rising in my throat. Still, one of the happiest checks I’ve ever written. There would be a little residual odor for a few days, pest guy said. (I was fully prepared to blame the dog.) No idea how the possum (a “juvenile”) could have gotten under there. It couldn’t have eaten the rat poison since the opening of those child-pet-possum-proof bait traps is too small. As with all unexplainable phenomenon these days, we’ll just take the default answer: global warming. As we all know, this is the season for miracles and I truly consider this to be one, along the lines of the stories you read on the back page of Parade magazine. I can see the headline now: My Miracle Thanksgiving: How the day was saved when the dead rat in the wall turned out to be a dead possum under the house! Thankful sure comes in mysterious ways. ♦ — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

The Grand Marche d’Art Contemporain along the Place de la Bastille in Paris takes place in the fall.

Artists provide a little international intrigue

f James Bond were in town, he would have undoubtedly enjoyed the Saturday night reception for the La Jolla Art Association’s new exhibition, “Shaken Not Stirred,” Dec. 4, which was named after Bond’s perchance for martinis. It was a rollicking good time at the gallery

in La Jolla Shores where art patrons were shaken and stirred — even though there weren’t any martinis present. But the bubbly Champagne was flowing, the art was internationally inspired, the DJ spun danceable tunes, the company was good and the appetizers were tasty.

Kim Wilkins

The show featured JudyJudyJudy, Kim Wilkins, Mike Morse, Ingrid Wolters, and newcomer Preeya Manita Manoorasada. Each artist displayed a style and subject matter that made for an interesting evening and good conversation. JudyJudyJudy was stunning in a her green evening dress, replete with colorful hosiery from Paris, a Moroccan shawl, sparkling necklace (also from Paris), and Cleopatra hairstyle. Known for her provocative series of femme fatale paintings, many of which are in the show, JJJ just got back from Paris where she showed her art for the second year in a row at an outdoor exhibition in the Bastille district. To everyone’s relief, she arrived back in La Jolla two days before the

Nov. 13 terrorist attacks. She said that flying over she had the premonition she might find herself, “in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Luckily, she was not. Judy said she stayed in the district of Paris known for its jazz clubs, and while on the lookout for fashion trends. “I’m going back to show my art again next year,” she proclaimed. “I’m not going to let the threat of terrorism stop me from painting or showing my art in Paris, my favorite city in the world.” Wilkins, who is an aerospace engineer when he is not painting or golfing, was also quite dapper in Paris-influenced fashion.

MADISON GALLERY PRESENTS

BILL RASTETTER

Urban landscapes

La Jolla, December 11th, 2015 - Madison Gallery is pleased to present Urban Landscapes, Argentina, a new collection of works by CEO, philanthropist and artist Bill Rastetter. In this exhibition, Rastetter reflects on Argentina’s political activism and cultural fracture derived from the socio-political tumult of the mid 1960s. The showplace for art could no longer be a gallery or a museum and could no longer restrict itself of addressing an exclusive audience. Graffiti became a means of artistic and cultural dialogue. Urban Landscapes juxtaposes cultural and political realities still active in the Argentinean lexicon. With Graffiti Mash-Ups, Rastetter creates a broader spectrum of experience for the viewer by “mashing up” two separate images to create each of the final pieces.

So, none of the “subjects” in Grafﬁti Mash-Ups actually exist in the

natural world; though they were photographed in Buenos Aires, they cannot be viewed on any street in the city. Rastetter earned the S.B. degree in chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an M.A. and Ph.D. both in chemistry from Harvard University. When not photographing, he helps fund and grow biotechnology companies. He has played signiﬁcant roles in the founding and/or operations of IDEC Pharmaceuticals, Biogen Idec, Illumina, Receptos, Fate Therapeutics, Neurocrine Biosciences, Regulus Therapeutics and Cerulean Pharma.

also serves on the Advisory Council for Leerink Partners, a healthcare focused investment bank. Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California.

FROM CAPTAIN CANALE, B1

PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN

Michelle Canale, as a last hurrah, climbs the extended 75-foot fire engine ladder in La Jolla.

during and briefly after her college years in Hawaii. When she moved to San Diego, she met her would-be husband and served as a seasonal lifeguard – mostly in Pacific Beach, Mission Beach and Ocean Beach. After six years, Canale considered a position in the fire department, a common transition for San Diego lifeguards in that both jobs are very physical, involve staying cool under pressure and rescuing people. She started by volunteering with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department, and prepared to take the test required to become a firefighter. Although she passed, the department didn’t hire her. “I tried up in Los Angeles to get hired up there, but they said I was too old. But I actually wanted to stay in San Diego because that’s where Jimmy was a full-time lifeguard,” she said. Canale was finally hired at age 42, but it was up in Escondido. From there, she worked in Encinitas for a few months before she was hired in San Diego. As a resident of University City, Canale said a priority was to be near her young daughters, Kori and Karli. “When I first came on, I worked everywhere (because having a say in where you are stationed is based on seniority) and I was basically filling in for people who were sick wherever the need may be,” she explained. “I worked at San Ysidro, but I tried to stay close to my family because my kids were little and there was the transition between when I was coming home and when my husband was going to work, and getting the girls to school. So I worked in

Karli, Michelle, Jimmy and Kori Canale Clairemont, UTC, and short stints elsewhere before La Jolla.” Kori, a graduate of The Bishop’s School, is following her parents’ footsteps and is a lifeguard in Mission Beach. Karli is a student at La Jolla High School and on a water polo team. Both girls grew up in La Jolla, chiefly the Cove. “I would take Kori out to the caves and she would look for Ariel (from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid”). Or the girls would go up to the Cove lifeguard tower and sit with their dad … so they’ve grown up around this service,” she said. After seven years as a firefighter, Canale became an engineer and soon advanced to captain. Although she said she was “so lucky to fall into this profession,” she also said she had no idea she would ultimately become a firefighter. “If you don’t know what you are going to do or what you want to be … don’t be afraid to try something different or to fail. You can always try something different and something new,” she said. Speaking to her daughter Karli’s water polo

team at the going away party, Canale said, “You can do anything, even if someone tells you that you’re not strong enough or smart enough, you can still try.” Also at the celebratory send-off, Chris Webber, who came through the academy with Canale and later became her battalion chief, read a letter from Fire Chief Javier Mainar congratulating her on 20 years of service. “I value the stability and expertise your years of experience bring to the job. Your devotion and loyalty are extremely important to the success operation of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department,” he read. “You can take pride in the years of commitment of serving the citizens of San Diego.” Speaking with La Jolla Light, Webber added, “She’s the nicest person in the world. She’s steady in her approach and always has a smile on her face.” With a daughter still in high school, Canale plans to stay near La Jolla and resume sports, like water polo and kite surfing. ♦

Ingrid Wolters

Mike Morse

FROM LA JOLLA ARTISTS, B4 jacket and black Fab Four Beatle boots, now back in style. Wilkins’ art, too, consisted of many delightful Paris influences. “The best thing about Paris is walking around the different neighborhoods,” he said. “Each little corner has been made beautiful by someone. It’s these little sights of beauty that, taken together, make Paris such a wonderful place, and I’ve been trying to capture them with my paintings.” Wilkins said he thought the infamous “snobby attitude” of the French was changing. “Everywhere we went people were really nice to us. The people of Paris now see us Americans as their friends!” But he said he

also saw hints of the terrorist disaster that was to come. “Near the hotel we were staying at, there was a Jewish synagogue that had three soldiers with submachine guns guarding it … and there was a big demonstration in the streets the night we left.” But like Judy, Wilkins said he plans to return to Paris. In contrast, Ingrid Wolters had many examples of swirling abstract art on display. “I love to play with colors,” Wolters said. “I put different combinations of color together, applying my paint with both a brush and a credit card, which I use to scrape paint on the canvas. I’m trying to discover and express my inner feelings and responses to things like a landscape or the bark of a

Preeya Manita Manoorasada

tree. The world affects me and makes me want to express it. I’m not trying to tell my viewers anything. I just want to create a space for their imaginations to wander.” LJAA president Morse said he likes to work with Photoshop to create his art. He will take a photograph, like that of a fountain in Balboa Park or a garden flower, superimpose a fractal pattern on it, and then play with the different computer-enhanced distortions produced. “I’m happy if I can play all day long with my images,” he laughed. “It helps me stay creative and is a bit of brain fitness, keeping my mind youthful and fresh.” Manoorasada, said she grew up in La Jolla, attending La Jolla Elementary and Muirlands

Middle schools before graduating to the School for the Performing Arts in Granite Hills. She is enrolled at MiraCosta College, where she is studying art and design. A mixed media artist, she uses both regular and spray paint on her canvases, influenced by Salvador Dali and the new graffiti artists. In many of her paintings, you’ll find a female goddess figure, which is the result of her attempt to portray strong women and their struggle for equality. ■ IF YOU GO: “Shaken Not Stirred” closes Sunday, Dec. 13 at La Jolla Art Association, 8100 Paseo Del Ocaso.

soup with hints of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds) sprinkled on top for a hearty dose of anti-anxiety from the rich store of magnesium, B-complex and C vitamins, copper, zinc, iron and gamma-tocopherol vitamin E.

■ Hanukkah: Laid-back Latkes

Jews celebrate the “festival of lights,” which I’ve jokingly renamed the “festival of cholesterol,” with jelly doughnuts and latkes or potato pancakes symbolically fried in oil served with traditional toppings of applesauce and sour cream as part of the modern day Hanukkah celebration. These heavy, greasy recipes that tend to make us all a little sluggish and uncomfortable can be transformed into a healthful, calming food. Instead of frying latkes, bake them a parchment-lined cookie sheet with a light drizzle of olive oil. As well, incorporate dark leafy greens, especially Swiss chard, arugula and spinach that ramp up the body’s stress response by regulating the function of many systems. Chard, a powerful warrior against high blood pressure and blood sugar levels, thanks to its rich store of antioxidants, vitamins A, D, E and K, and minerals, including magnesium, calcium and iron, knocks stress off its feet. For a hearty, protein-dense latke, use omega-3 rich ground salmon seasoned with choice herbs and spices to keep the stress hormone cortisol at bay, while boosting mood and managing anxiety with its ample supply of vitamin D.

■ Kwanzaa: Soothing Sweet Potatoes & Yams

Kwanzaa, a celebration of African American heritage, translates from Swahili to “first fruits” in honor of the treasure trove harvested from the African soils. The yam considered “the king of crops” is a traditional food served during this seven-day holiday. Both yams and sweet potatoes are high-energy complex carbs packed with anti-stress nutrients, including C and B-complex vitamins, magnesium, potassium and iron that have been found to boost mood for several hours. Whip up a smooth puree with a crispy pecan topping, baked in their jackets or thick-cut fries with a savory yoghurt dipping sauce, or a sweet treat blending super dark antioxidant-rich (and mellowing) melted chocolate in the puree for a healthy and delicious parfait or pudding.

■ Christmas: Pacifying Pumpkin Soup

’Tis the season for sugar and spice and edible vice, from fruitcake to plum pudding, along with rich, fatty fowls of geese and duck, and washing it down with decadent drinks, especially eggnog and hot toddy, which all make us a little hyper and grumpy (and that’s before getting on the scale). So whip up a pot of steamy, soothing pumpkin

Garnet Yam Latkes Ingredients:

• 4 large garnet yams or sweet potatoes • 2 eggs • 2 tablespoons unbleached flour • 1 teaspoon brown sugar • 2 tablespoons golden raisins • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder • Dash of nutmeg • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt • Olive, grapeseed or Safflower oil

Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel the yams and grate coarsely by hand or in a food processor. Drain well and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, salt, flour, sugar, salt and spices, and blend well. Gently fold in nuts and raisins. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, and generously coat with oil. Spoon the yam mixture onto the pan forming 3-inch pancakes about 1/3-inch thick. Bake for about 20 minutes until the edges and bottoms are golden brown. Flip and bake another 10 minutes until cooked through. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with applesauce, sour cream or fresh whipped cream. ♦ — For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

SPONSORED COLUMNS STEPHEN PFEIFFER, PH.D. Clinical Psychologist 858.784.1960

The Double Standard of Adversity People who have gone through adversity will understand the ordeals experienced by those around them and offer support. This was proven in two tests conducted by Lim and DeSteno. In the ﬁrst, subjects ﬁlled out an online questionnaire asking what types of adversity they had experienced and how empathetic they thought they were. At the end of the test, they were offered the chance to donate part of their earnings for the test to the Red Cross to support other victims. Those who reported to have faced the most severe adversities donated the most money. The second study was conducted in a lab,

during which participants were required to solve a series of difﬁcult word problems. In the same room, an actor playing a fellow participant was instructed to struggle with the problem, either because of illness or other inability to complete the work. Test subjects were assessed on their willingness to help their fellow participant, as well as the length to which they would go to assist (in some cases, completing the work for them). Similar to the ﬁrst study, those who had undergone the greatest hardships offered the most help. In doing so, Lim and DeSteno assessed that the act was purely compassionate, as it required the subjects to take on more work for themselves. However, is all assistance purely compassionate? Helping others through adversity can also be a coping strategy; you are not entirely helpless if you can still help others. This proves, either to yourself or to others, resilience, which can help you cope with your own trauma. It also bonds you to a community when the trauma itself can

be isolating. Since having strong social bonds is also one of the top predictors of psychological well-being, enhancing those bonds is in your own self-interest. Therefore, there is a personal benefit to assisting others in times of distress, especially if you have been distressed as well. This refers back to the research on forgiveness, which suggests humans have evolved to feel empathy as a means of selfpreservation. However, in a different experiment, researchers tested the levels of empathy that victims felt toward other victims of the same adversity. Their findings were surprising. People were less likely to show compassion toward those who had undergone the same trauma. The findings indicated that people like to diminish the levels of their trauma as a means of preservation and do not wish to relive especially traumatic events. But also there is the other case that people like to stand out in their suffering, that their trauma offers them a distinction and greater sympathy, and sharing that

distinction lessens the pity received from others. In either case, the double-standard holds: the greater the adversity experienced, the greater the empathy shown for others except when the adversity is the same. Can there be such a thing as selfish compassion? Clearly, we are a species that values compassion. We operate as social creatures, and how we interact with others affects our well-being. This may not always be a completely selfless tradeoff; however, if it makes us feel better as well as those around us, then our “society” will continue to function, whether or not the compassion is entirely selfless. Compassion and empathy are coping strategies, and if healing others helps us heal as well, then the act may be self-serving but not purely selfish. If you are grappling with adversity and want to know more about how to cope with trauma, contact me at Stephen@PfeifferPhD. com or visit my website www.pfeifferphd. com.

COURTESY

The Telegraph Quartet of San Francisco leads the new year’s concert offerings at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library in La Jolla with a Jan. 29 concert.

The Athenaeum Presents

Quintet of quartets set to play chamber music series FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will present its 26th season of the Barbara and William Karatz Chamber Concert Series, set in the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Music Room at 1008 Wall St. The six 7:30 p.m. concerts are followed by a private reception with the artists. ■ Jan. 29 features the Telegraph Quartet, last year’s Grand Prize winners in the International Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. The group came together two years ago in San Francisco. ■ Feb. 14, Antonín Dvorak’s magisterial Piano Quartet No. 2 forms the anchor for this inspired program from the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. These powerhouse artists include pianist Gilles Vonsattel, violinist Arnaud Sussmann, violist Paul Neubauer and cellist Paul Watkins. ■ Feb. 26 brings the Orion String Quartet, which since its inception, has been praised for the fresh perspective and individuality it brings to performances, offering diverse programs that juxtapose classic works of the standard quartet literature with masterworks by 20th and 21st century composers. The group has worked with Pablo Casals, András Schiff, Rudolf Serkin, Isaac Stern, Pinchas Zukerman, Peter Serkin, members of TASHI and the Beaux Arts Trio, as well as the Budapest, Végh, Galimir, and Guarneri string quartets. ■ March 16 presents the Dover String Quartet, which catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff International String Quartet Competition, becoming one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. The New Yorker recently dubbed them “the young American string quartet of the moment.” In 2013–2014, the quartet became the first quartet in residence for the Curtis Institute of Music. ■ March 21 welcomes the Aizuri Quartet, formed in 2012 and comprising graduates of the Juilliard School and Curtis Institute of Music. The quartet gave its debut performance on the Tertulia Chamber Music series in New York City, and participated in the 2013 Juilliard String Quartet Seminar. Collaborators include cellist Peter Wiley, pianist Jonathan Biss, the Aeolus String Quartet, poet Denice Frohman, and composers Lembit Beecher and Andrew Lipke. The Aizuri Quartet was the resident ensemble of the 2014 Ravinia Festival’s Steans Music Institute. ■ April 9 hear pianist Jiayan Sun. At age 23, he’s praised for his “technically flawless, poetically inspired and immensely assured playing” by the Toronto Star, and took third prize in the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2012. He’s performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, the National Concert Hall in Dublin and the Royal Conservatory’s Koerner Hall, Toronto and frequently performs with the China National Symphony Orchestra.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - DECEMBER 10, 2015 - PAGE B27

FROM WEDDING BOWL, B1 having a ceremony at the panoramic landmark, and began officiating weddings there in the 1990s. To date, Tuttle’s ministry has performed more than 1,500 weddings at the Wedding Bowl. “It’s one of the most beautiful locations in the world,” he said. “You have the Pacific Ocean right there and the crashing waves can’t be beat.” The only downsides, he said, are that there are no restroom facilities on site, glass containers are prohibited, there can be no amplified music and no electricity. Tuttle does not profit from anyone using the site, but he does recommend his ministry Vows from the Heart to officiate.

Using Vows from the Heart is not required for having a ceremony there. “Establishing the site was my way of answering questions for couples without selling anything,” he said. “As soon as you say the word ‘wedding’ costs start to go up, and as soon as you get a wedding planner, costs go up, so this is a guide for brides who want to plan the event themselves.” He noted the very first thing that needs to be done for a wedding at the Wedding Bowl is for a city permit to be obtained for lawful gathering on public land. “When you send us an e-mail, the very first question is ‘Do you have a permit?’ and if the answer is ‘No,’ we can’t do anything,” Tuttle said. San Diego Park & Recreation district

manager Dan Daneri reported permits issued are limited to one per day, per area, for a maximum of four hours. In 2014, 197 permits were issued for weddings at the Wedding Bowl site. Thus far into 2015, only 94 have been issued. The city issues permits for weddings in city parks one year in advance. Or, for those hoping for a quick ceremony, permits are available the first working Monday for any available dates that month. The San Diego Permit Center can be reached at (619) 235-1169, for fee information. Daneri said all City of San Diego park-use permit fees, including wedding permits, are deposited into the General Fund. Should more than one party request to

have its wedding at the Wedding Bowl on the same date, the names go into a lottery, facilitated through the Balboa Park Administration Building, 2125 Park Blvd. For information about weddings there, visit sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation ■ Editor’s Note: One thing that’s stumped La Jolla Light, and those involved in this story (including Whale View Point Enhancement Project organizers and the La Jolla Historical Society), is the history of the Wedding Bowl, including when it was established, by whom, and for what purpose. If anyone has a documented history of the site, please e-mail reporter Ashley Mackin at ashleym@lajollalight.com ♦

Lack of inventory takes its toll on October home sales

HOME HOMEOF OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

7248 Fay Avenue

s home inventory continues to slump, sales of existing homes in San Diego County also languished in October, according to new housing statistics from the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR). Single-family home sales were down 9 percent in October, compared both to the previous month and October 2014. Condo and townhome sales were down nearly 14 percent from September and about 2 percent from October 2014. Median prices, however, have remained stable throughout 2015. The price of single-family homes stood at $525,000 in October, unchanged from September. The median price of condos and townhomes was $354,000 last month, a 6 percent gain from September.

year-to-date, resale home prices are 6 percent higher compared to the first ten months of 2014. The supply of resale homes on the market slipped to 2.4 months, while five to six months is considered a healthy level. The number of days that San Diego County homes were on the market before close of escrow in October averaged 39 days, compared to 45 days in October 2014. “It’s looking like consumers will finally see an interest rate increase by the beginning of next year,” said SDAR’s 2015 board president Chris Anderson. The most expensive county listing sold in October was a 6-bedroom, 10-bath, 10,000-square-foot home in La Jolla, built in 1929, with a $8.3 million sale price. ♦ — Greater San Diego Association of Realtors
