Opponents asked to write City Council, Mayor’s office
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Concerned residents from La Jolla, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach gathered at La Jolla Community Center Jan. 30 to unanimously speak out against DecoBike, the City’s bike-share program. DecoBike kiosks have not been installed in 92037, but the plan is to place 12-14 stands throughout La Jolla, Bird Rock and La Jolla Shores. The installation date is pending. Led by Cindy Greatrex, president of La Jolla Community Planning Association, and Debbie Watkins of the Mission Beach Precise Planning Committee, the meeting included a presentation outlining what DecoBike is, why it is not appropriate for La Jolla, how it has impacted communities where its kiosks have been installed, SEE DECOBIKE, A8

MTS replaces bus-stop benches in La Jolla
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Now that the rains have cleared, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) is busy replacing hundreds of bus-stop benches citywide, several in La Jolla. On Jan. 24, La Jolla Light was notified that several benches were taken away, without notice of why or when they would be replaced. It turned out the removals were part of a larger project to install new seats, with the intention to replace them soon as they were removed, but heavy rains prevented it. When work was able to resume, at a pace of about 10 per day, MTS crews set out to replace 35 benches along La Jolla Boulevard, Pearl Street, Girard Avenue and La Jolla Shores Drive. Many of these are for stops along the No. 30 bus route. “MTS has made a commitment to improve all of our passenger amenities,” said spokesperson Rob Schupp. “These new benches will not only improve the streetscape, but their higher quality will attract higher advertising revenues, which are used to help maintain our level of service.” As was the case with the old benches, advertisements will be allowed on most of the new ones. Coast United manages the advertising on bus-stop benches in San Diego, the cost starts at $180 per month (with a 12-month contract) according to its rate sheet. Some of the new bus stops will feature “bus shelters,” but these locations are under review. According to press material, shelter installation will take place over the next five years and cost $6.4 million. MTS currently has 450 bus shelters, and the project will replace existing shelters and add up to 150 more. Shelter amenities include: solar and LED lighting systems, dual purpose receptacles for trash and recycling, five-foot custom aluminum benches, larger and easy-to-read display cases for ASHLEY MACKIN system maps and timetables, and custom roof design preventing rain runoff from the shelter’s front and side A new bus-stop bench was installed on Pearl Street near La Jolla Boulevard last week. You may recall that the old openings shelter. ones looked to be made out of gray resin.

La Jollan receives letter from former President Obama
BY ASHLEY MACKIN After writing a letter to The White House with no intention other than to share a story (and some encouragement), La Jolla resident Robert Andrews received an unexpected reply in mid-January — from former President Barack Obama. “I was so surprised, I never expected to get a response,” Andrews said. He explained that in light of instances of racially charged acts of hate — including the massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, where a white man shot and killed nine people at an African American church — Andrews said he was motivated to write to Obama before he left office. Andrews said told the former Commander-in-Chief a tale of witnessing racism in the 1950s, and said that though he is grateful for the progress made in easing racial tension, he believes the country still has a ways to go. Andrews told La Jolla Light the story on which his White House-bound letter was focused. “I was friends with an African American man named Gene while we were both soldiers in the Army. One day, we went to get lunch in Camden, New Jersey. Gene, being African American, could not be served at the diner. “The waitress looked at me and said, ‘I can serve you, but I won’t serve him.’ It was such a slap in the face. So I told her, ‘if you can’t serve him, you can’t serve me.’ Then off we went to the drive-through to get some cheeseburgers. I still get choked up when I think about it and how hard that must have been for Gene.” The response from Obama reads, in part, “Thank you for your service and sharing the story of your and Gene’s experience. ... We’ve traveled too far to unclasp hands now. We’ve got to hold on to the optimism and determination that have brought us

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Coastal Management Plan coming in March The long-discussed Coastal Management Plan — designed by the City to address human and marine mammal interactions in public spaces in La Jolla — could be finished in March. City public information officer Tim Graham reported to La Jolla Light, “I’m being told the document is still being reviewed and will likely be finalized sometime in March. ... The Coastal Management Plan will be a comprehensive document that will address a number of coastal topics including seals, sea lions and birds. We are continuing to work on it and are looking forward to releasing it.” In January 2014, then-City Council member Sherri Lightner said such a plan would hopefully address issues such as the infamous Cove Stench in a proactive, long-term way, rather than having piecemeal solutions proposed as problems arise. In July 2015, San Diego Park & Rec director Herman Parker told the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group, “funding was allocated in the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget to begin work to develop a coastal marine life management plan for the area that will address the interaction of people, animal and marine life in the area. The activity of sea lions at The Cove will be part of that plan.”
Barbara Bry launches 3 advisory councils District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry launched the formation of three volunteer advisory councils as a means of staying engaged with the community. Details on when, where and how often these boards will meet have not been determined, but the roles have. • Senior Advisory Council: Motivated senior citizens will provide input on services and policies, represent Bry’s office at events, and participate in community projects and cleanups. • Small Business Council: Members will develop strategies around ways the City can support business, examine land-use issues and make regulations. • Public Safety Council: Members will build the presence of Neighborhood Watch programs throughout the district, provide
input on safety issues within communities, offer opinions on potential City policies and ordinances. Those interested, may call (619) 236-6611 or e-mail barbarabry@sandiego.gov
A Dr. Seuss-inspired statue for La Jolla perch? An anonymous person(s) has begun inquiring about the process of installing a Dr. Seuss-themed statue in a yet-to-be-determined La Jolla park. Dan Allen, chair of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group, announced at the board’s Jan. 23 meeting that someone had approached him wanting to purchase a statue, but wanted a board member to also work on the project. “This is something that would be great for an organization like ours if there was someone or a task force that wanted to champion it,” Allen said, but he could not provide details on what public space or which Seuss character would be involved. LJP&B member Melinda Merryweather said she would work with the person, as long as the statue is one that “children can climb on.” More details will be reported as they become available.
Contract extended for Torrey Pines Slope Restoration Project The San Diego City Council unanimously approved a motion to extend the contract with Leighton & Associates, Inc. for the Torrey Pines Slope Restoration Project through April 2021. Costs for its services, according to City Council documents, will accrue no further than the $203,900 previously assigned to the firm. La Jolla planners OK’d the wall replacement in April 2016 after rejecting the original plans presented in 2015. The proposed wall will be an 350-foot-long arc-shape with heights varying from 3-9 feet along Torrey Pines Road between Lookout Drive and Roseland Drive. The pricetag for the construction is $2.2 million, which has already been set aside. The wall will replace the current concrete retaining wall along Torrey Pines Road. SEE NEWS NUGGETS, A14

Happy Chinese New Year 2017 - Year of the Rooster
New Year Traditions: New Year’s Eve Dinner
The New Year’s Eve dinner is the most important dinner for the Chinese. Normally this is the family reunion dinner, especially for those with family members away from home. During the dinner fish, symbolizing abundance, will usually be served.
Fireworks
Right after midnight on New Year’s Eve fireworks will be launched to celebrate the coming of the New Year as well as to drive away evil.
Shou Sui
Shou Sui means “after the New Year’s Eve dinner” as family members will normally stay awake during the night. According to tales and legends there was a mythical beast named the “Year”. On New Year’s Eve the “Year” comes out to harm people, animals, and property. The “Year” is afraid of the color red, fire, and loud sounds. Therefore, people launch fireworks, light fires and stay awake the whole night to fend off the “Year”.
Red Envelopes
The Red envelope is filled with money. Usually the red envelope is given by married couples and the elderly to young children in the New Year days. It was believed that the money in the red packet would protect the children from evil, keep them healthy, and give them a long life. Today, red envelopes are given to bring good fortune.
Cleaning and Decoration
A few days before the Chinese New Year people will do a complete cleaning of the house and house wares to remove the old and welcome the new. After the cleaning people will decorate the house to welcome the New Year. For reasons stated above most of the decorations are red.

FROM BLACK PIONEERS, A1 lived for the first quarter of her life. She said the book’s inspiration came when a group of former black residents were playing with the idea of organizing an African-American La Jollans reunion. “The reunion never happened,” she said, “but if we were going to have a reunion, we had to give people something. I said, ‘We should have a booklet about where we lived,’ and they thought it was a good idea. And this thing grew on its own, like a baby!” The first edition of “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers” was published in 2010. Now in its fifth edition, the authors are working on a sixth. “And then we are through,” Pace said. Each of the five contributors chose a significant period in the history of AfricanAmericans in La Jolla to write about. Pace opens with the story of the town’s early black settlers up until 1930. AfricanAmericans were first drawn to La Jolla as domestic employees in the last years of the 18th century, she writes. An excerpt from a document researched by Barbara Waters in 1981 titled “A Unique Black Community: La Jolla, California 1920-1940” supports the claim: “As in other California cities, blacks were attracted to La Jolla because of its abundance of jobs in the domestic services. Though blacks do not show up in the 1900 Census in the La Jolla community, there is mention of an ‘aged colored porter at the Manitou Hotel’ in a letter by Miss Ellen Browning Scripps, in 1899.” Cristin McVey, author of “Traces of Black San Diego,” theorizes that La Jolla founders,

Thomas DeBose
who imagined the future of the community as “an exclusive enclave for prosperous beachcombers,” welcomed lower-class workers to ensure its economic independence. “The town founders were wise enough to understand that the success of this charming beach community depended upon the availability of a steady supply of service workers who could cater to the needs of the town’s affluent residents and tourists,” she wrote. Pace agreed with the idea that the first African-American settlers were drawn to La Jolla to work for wealthy families.

The book begins with the story of Thomas Debose, an African-American born during the time of slavery who was the first black person to buy land in La Jolla, according to all accounts. It was 1904 when DeBose purchased two lots on the corner of what was then Thompson and Draper avenues. “There was a City stable right close to where the La Jolla Riford Library is right now. The horses pooped all over the street, and it was noisy. Frank Botsford, who first developed La Jolla Park subdivision, put a sign up where he said that he had lots
S AV E OV E R 40%
available. Since white people didn’t want to live there, he offered them to whomever would buy them, and that’s how the blacks got property on Draper Avenue, Eads Avenue, Silver Street and Cuvier Street.” In Waters’ research, the same four streets are mentioned as the place where black people settled. “I have found no reference to restrictive covenants that would limit the occupancy of blacks (…) on the north side of Pearl Street,” she writes. “In repeated interviews, I’ve been told, ‘You could buy anywhere in the 1920s and ’30s … later things got tight.’ Mrs. Ethel Cool remembered, ‘Everybody else was living there, so we just settled there, too.’ ” For Pace, the restrictions on AfricanAmericans choosing where to live were economical. “These people were working for 50 cents an hour. They couldn’t have bought anything, anywhere,” she said. The first African-American female to settle in La Jolla was Henrietta VanHorn, who came from New York to serve a wealthy family. “She was really something!” Pace said. VanHorn married DeBose upon the death of his first wife, becoming VanHorn-DeBose, and bought and sold property, ending up owning a large portion of Draper Avenue and a hand-laundry business. “Henrietta made (DeBose’s five children) sign a document that they had nothing to do with the property, so she ended up with all his property,” Pace explained. In Wendy Standard’s essay for San Diego State University, “Ebony on the Seashore: Blacks in La Jolla, 1925-1950”, she collected various obituaries of the time, including

Ed Coleman and his neighbor John Townsend in 1926 with the trucks Coleman used to move cottages around La Jolla. VanHorn-DeBose’s. It reads: “Henrietta DeBose was a well-respected woman who owned a great deal of property in La Jolla, many years a local resident, she had many friends here. She was a woman of fine character and excellent influence on the lives with which she came in contact.”
The Tanner Family
According to McVey’s research, the only other African-American family besides VanHorn-DeBose to live on Girard Avenue were Isaac and Julia Tanner. “The same year that Thomas DeBose bought his home La Jolla, Isaac Tanner, a barber at J. E. Johnson on Fifth Avenue in downtown San Diego, and his wife Julia Tanner, also a hairdresser, set up shop in the seaside town,” she stated.
COURTESY OF LA JOLLA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
One of Ed Coleman’s businesses was moving cottages around when people wanted to build up their properties.
Pace added, “The two of them had good business because they did black and white hair.” Pace had one goal during her years spent digging up old documents and interviewing other black pioneers: “When we started talking about what happened in La Jolla, I knew I had to write about my grandfather, Ed Coleman, because he was big in La Jolla, and he did so much.”
Ed Coleman
The house on Draper Avenue where Ed Coleman lived most of his life was designated “historical” by the San Diego Historical Resources Board in September 2016. He first moved to La Jolla in 1917, his granddaughter calculates, and lived there
the rest of his life, working as a gardener, a janitor and a realtor. Among other enterprises, Pace explained, Coleman made a business of moving cottages from where they weren’t needed anymore into the “Black Quarters,” as they were known, for other African-Americans to buy or rent. “Wherever somebody was trying to build in the early 1920s, like the La Valencia Hotel, he moved those cottages from up there onto the Draper empty lots. A lot of the cottages on Draper Avenue were really ugly, and people did what they could to fix them up,” she explained. Coleman helped lead other AfricanAmericans to La Jolla in the early ’20s, Pace reported: “My grandfather told his friends and relatives, ‘There’s a lot of work here,’ and

work was hard to come by for black people in those days.” Standard’s research supports the claim. “Betty (Warren, a black pioneer) says that almost everyone who she knew came to La Jolla because they had heard about it from a family member or a friend.” And according to Waters, “The black people who came to La Jolla in the 1920s and ’30s came with family they had worked for for many years.” Pace states that by 1930, there were 207 African-Americans listed in the La Jolla community registers.

FROM DECOBIKE, A1 why these communities oppose it, and where opposition organizers would like to go from here. The presentation is available by e-mailing: cindy.greatrex@diplomats.com Meeting attendees and others who do not want DecoBike in La Jolla, were encouraged to write their concerns to each San Diego City Council member, to San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, and sign a soon-to-be-circulated petition. Some attendees suggested using the hashtag #nodecobike in social media posts on the topic. Two representatives from District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry’s office were on hand to hear the public outcry, along with a representative from District 2 City Council member Lori Zapf’s office. If there was representation from DecoBike, its supporters, or the Mayor’s office, they did not make their presence known.
Bike share plan history
The City of San Diego’s 2013 Bicycle Master Plan calls for “a bikesharing program to offer cyclists the opportunity to rent a bicycle from an unattended docking station, ride it wherever they want within the network, and return it to any station with an open dock.” To meet the terms of this plan, the City entered into a Corporate Partnership Agreement in 2013 with DecoBike LLC, which provided approximately $8 million in infrastructure investment in return for the ability to sell advertising on the bikes and kiosks. San Diego receives a commission on the gross advertising and bike rental revenues.
ASHLEY MACKIN
La Jolla Community Planning Association president Cindy Greatrex (standing) makes a presentation on the cons of DecoBike in San Diego at a special meeting, Jan. 30 at the Community Center. DecoBike receives no public funds. Listing the reasons DecoBike does not work in San Diego (and specifically La Jolla), Greatrex said the DecoBike company: 1) has a series of negative reviews online (ranging from complaints about multiple credit card charges, issues with getting bikes in and out of kiosks, and difficulty reaching customer service); 2) does not provide locks or helmets to its users; 3) offers bikes that are not recommended for the hilly topography found in La Jolla; and 4) is not practical as a non-car alternative because there is no large public transit stations in La Jolla. Among other problems, several meeting attendees cited DecoBike’s perceived lack of community consideration, which has led to the bike rental kiosks blocking views in Pacific Beach and competing with local, tax-paying bike rental businesses near Mission Beach. Watkins said, “A (San Diego) Grand Jury report regarding DecoBikes was produced May 19, 2016. DecoBike went before the Grand Jury and said we need to tap into the coastal communities … and the jury came

back and found that in order to be financially successful, DecoBike needed kiosks in tourist areas, including beach communities. The Grand Jury report also demanded community outreach, and that request has been ignored.” Brian Curry, president of the Pacific Beach Community Planning Committee, said when it came for the City to install more than a dozen kiosks, it presented the plans to his group and negotiations were never considered. “We gave them suggestions as to where they could go, but then they went dark, and then suddenly they put up these kiosks in locations that were in direct competition with local small businesses. “When they came before us again, this time with locations on the boardwalk, we all voted against it and wrote to our City officials. We were told the kiosks might go in the following Monday, or a few weeks down the line. Instead, they snuck out one early morning that week and put two on the boardwalk, despite all the input (against it) they had from us,” Curry reported. Soon after the boardwalk kiosks were in
place, concerned PB residents scheduled a meeting with the City. “When they agreed to meet with us, we saw it as an olive branch … but we noticed the City and DecoBike were on one side of the table, and we were on the other. We asked ‘Who is representing us here?’ The public has been ignored. We made the mistake of letting them in, now we want them out.” By embedding these kiosks against community wishes, Curry said, it gives the impression that the City “is not listening to us,” — a sentiment echoed by others throughout the evening. (Reporter’s note: Although not in attendance, Council member Bry later e-mailed La Jolla Light stating, “I understand that there are many concerns in the community regarding the installation of DecoBikes. Before any plans for a future site move forward, I will work to ensure that the City listens to the residents of District 1 and addresses their concerns.” Hopeful for a different result because a dialogue in a well-attended public forum would be “hard to ignore,” Greatrex added she has repeatedly requested presentations about DecoBike and its proposed locations, but “no one has gotten back to us in three months.” City spokesperson Katie Keach previously told La Jolla Light presentations were planned to begin in February, but she could not specify when or where. At the end of the presentation, a seven-point list of requests was shown that will be forwarded to the City. The requests were for: 1) a moratorium on any future DecoBike expansion into coastal communities; 2) DecoBike to install kiosks at transit locations and shopping areas, in SEE DECOBIKE, A19

Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza hosts re-opening, offers free ice cream Although Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza & Grill at 702 Pearl St. has been re-opened since December 2016 (following a fire in September 2015 that closed the eatery), it hosted a ribbon-cutting celebration Jan. 30 to kick-off new beginnings. Owner Sami Ladeki, City Council member Barbara Bry and reps from the La Jolla Town Council were on hand to cut the ribbon. Through Feb. 5, Sammy’s will be giving away free, kid-size Messy Sundaes with a purchase at the La Jolla location. “We wanted to thank the community for continuing to support us year-after-year and patiently awaiting our reopening,” Ladeki said. “We were always so grateful for, and aware of, the loyalty of our patrons, but truly realized the impact we had on during the year we were closed. People were always sharing stories of family dinners and special memories they created at Sammy’s La Jolla.” Additionally, through Feb. 14, Sammy’s is selling its Valentine’s Day Pizza Kits ($1 from every pizza kit sold will benefit the American Heart Association). Pick up is available at the La Jolla location. Starting at $7, the kits include fresh dough (customers may work the dough into a heart-shape), mozzarella, house-made tomato
sauce, basil and cooking instructions. Add-ons and substitutions, such as gluten-free crust and pepperoni, are available for an additional cost. Every customer who purchases a pizza kit will be automatically entered to win free pizza for a year from Sammy’s. In addition, customers who post their best heart-shaped pizza photos on Instagram with the hashtag #iheartsammys and tag @sammyswpizza will be entered to win a $100 gift card to Sammy’s.

Tuition increase set at all UC campuses The University of California Board of Regents approved a 2.5 percent tuition hike for the system’s nine campuses. The increase, the first in seven years, will add to the $12,294 a year California residents already pay in tuition and fees. Enrollment is also expected to increase. UC regents voted 16-4 to raise tuition for the first time since 2010-11. The increases were part of a $7.8-billion operating budget plan they approved for 2017-18. Under the new budget, tuition will rise to $11,502 for the 2017-18 school year — a $282 increase. The student services fee will increase by $54 to $1,128. Non-resident undergraduates will see a total increase of $1,688. They will pay the same higher base tuition and student fees as well as 5 percent more in supplemental tuition, which will rise $1,332, from $26,682 to $28,014 next year.

FROM ILOVEKICKBOXING REPORTS iLoveKickboxing, the fitness kickboxing studio that recently opened at 7710 Fay Ave., is helping residents kick fitness up a notch this year. Based on a national model, the studio incorporates the workouts of professional fighters, while making them accessible and fun to the average man or woman looking to lose weight and get in shape. In the classes, members gear up with authentic boxing gloves and perform genuine conditioning drills and kickboxing techniques on real heavy bags. Passionate instructors motivate and encourage participants to “go the extra mile” to get stellar results based on their personal goals. The program is based on the popular High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) model that features intense bursts of exercise followed by short periods of rest. Classes are structured for any age or fitness level, and offer a complete body workout in just 60 minutes. In addition to burning an average of between 450 and 800 calories per class (depending on size/gender of the person and how hard they are pushing themselves), members also love the feeling of empowerment and stress-relief that organically occurs along the way. The La Jolla location is one of 180-plus iLoveKickboxing studios, which has grown rapidly over the past few years. It is the first in San Diego, and the seventh in California with plans to open 75 more by 2018. “We are thrilled to be growing our footprint in California and in particular the
community of La Jolla,” said CEO Michael Parrella. “In addition to assisting members transform their lives through fitness, we’re eager to show residents how iLoveKickboxing gives back to the entire community by offering residents fun jobs and career paths, and by donating funds to local charities through our ongoing fundraising efforts.” Added owner Mauricio Garate, “Opening an iLoveKickboxing studio in the United States is a dream that I’ve had for many years.” A successful attorney in Mexico City, Garate said he wanted to provide a safer and brighter future for his wife and two daughters, who are still living in Mexico. In order to be hands on at the studio and get to know his members, Garate commutes back and forth several times a month. “The sacrifices that I’m making right now are completely worth it,” Garate said, adding that his family will join him in California this year. “Not only am I building a better life for my family, I am very grateful to be able to help residents improve their health, become more physically fit and reach a new level of self-confidence and self-esteem.” ■ View client testimonials at ilovekickboxing.com/testimonials ■ View a workout at youtu.be/ImEhje_0HcE ■ ilovekickboxing is at 7710 Fay Ave., La Jolla.

Koi Wellbeing center: ‘We’re about feeling good’ BY DAVID L. CODDON Koi Wellbeing’s approach to helping its clients take ownership of their health is three-pronged: a consultation with a naturopathic doctor; nutrient injections of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants; and IV infusion therapy which introduces into the body pure and vibrant vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. This is not your grandfather’s health management, but it’s not adversarial, anti-traditional medicine. Nor is it what you’d call “out there.” “We’re not saying ‘Come on in and hold on to a blue crystal,” said Jeffrey Sternberg, CEO of Koi Wellbeing, which has been open for exactly a year in a welcoming storefront location in Bird Rock. “We’re trying to build a bridge between what you have and what you don’t have with your specialist.” Visits to Koi Wellbeing begin with an hour-long consultation with its medical director, Dr. Brooke Leverone, a lifetime La Jollan who attended both La Jolla High School and UC San Diego. (She graduated medical school from Bastyr University in Seattle following her pre-med studies at UCSD.) “The biggest thing for me is educating people on what it means to be healthy and how to take charge of their own health,” said Leverone. “They don’t know that they have options. I show people there’s another way to address their health and (how to) put the power in their hands.” Koi Wellbeing’s clients essentially fall into two categories: those seeking immediate help for identified issues, for whom nutrient injections are administered (for example, for pain

Koi Wellbeing's integrative approach to wellness includes nutrient therapy, naturopathic doctor consultations and functional nutrition coaching with a registered dietitian nutritionist. relief, detox, energy boost, etc.); and those in need of more progressive treatment who invest in IV therapy. The latter is determined after consultation with Leverone and subsequent blood testing (that’s the one part of treatment at Koi Wellbeing that may be covered by your insurance). “We can do panels that reveal everything about you,” said Sternberg, “so there’s no guessing on treatment.”
With the blood panels “I get a full picture of what is going on in the body physiologically,” explained Leverone, who then works to identify the imbalances she perceives and determines treatments. According to Sternberg, the benefits of receiving vitamins via IV over pills or in food are pretty profound. “What you’re putting in your body is alive, not something that’s been sitting on a shelf. Store-bought vitamins go through a tremendous amount of processing. They’re made impure. There’s no way you’re absorbing 100 percent,” he said. Koi Wellbeing’s nutrients, stored on site, come from an accredited compounding pharmacy. Treatments are available on a walk-in basis. Nearly a dozen nutrient injections are offered. Among the most popular is a shot called “The Skinny.” Said Sternberg, “It’s incredibly powerful and it’s not just for losing weight. It does get those fat cells in a state in which you can burn them, but it also has antioxidant power.” IV therapy at Koi addresses issues such as dehydration, muscle damage, aging and stress, and among the treatments are “Find Your Zen,” “Forever Young” and “The Mozart Effect.” Ultimately, Sternberg said, Koi Wellbeing’s service is a simple one: “We’re about feeling good.” Koi Wellbeing is at 5632 La Jolla Blvd. Hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and Sundays by appointment.

FROM DECOBIKE, A8 school corridors and communities that have requested installations before more kiosks are located and installed in coastal communities; 3) local bike rental businesses to be included in the City’s Bicycle Master Plan and Climate Action Plan; 4) adherence to the Grand Jury report for community discussion on unsuccessful charging stations in Pacific Beach and removal of kiosks on the boardwalk; 5) review of alternate climate control strategies; 6) review of requests made by City Heights and North Park, which have public transportation, for DecoBike use between transportation hubs; and 7) to note that the agreement between DecoBike and the City is for two, five-year options and the City does not have to exercise its option at the end of year five. “The City can release DecoBike as a partner, send out another Request for Proposal and find a different bike-share program that will work with small businesses and the citizens of San Diego … not just rent bikes to tourists,” Greatrex elaborated. “But the City Council has to be involved. They voted DecoBike in, they can vote them out.” Curry stressed the importance of writing to the Mayor. “We have strong-mayor form of government. If he says something is not going to happen, it’s not going to happen.” Watkins added that a petition was started in Pacific Beach to remove the kiosks on the boardwalk, and another would be created to prevent kiosks from coming to La Jolla. The petitions will be sent out via email, possibly with e-mailable and printable versions, and distributed to community groups for signatures.

La Jolla podiatrist’s e-mail hacked La Jolla podiatrist Dr. Jay Berenter’s e-mail account was hacked in late 2016, and patients may have received a fraudulent e-mail Dec. 9, his office announced. There is no evidence that patient information was maliciously viewed, transferred or accessed. The e-mail posed as an alert to patients that Berenter’s office had a “DocuSign” document waiting for them to review. Berenter’s office sent an e-mail alerting his contacts not to open the e-mail. The office secured its e-mail account and hired forensic IT specialists, who determined that none of the doctor’s other systems were affected. Any information sent to or received from Berenter’s office on drjsbdpm@gmail.com was potentially impacted, according to the statement. — City News Service

When air bound, the nauseating fumes from the sea lion excrement on the cliffs at La Jolla Cove takes a toll on dining, shopping and strolling in The Village.
The changes in town are disturbing ... Fellow La Jollans, after reading the Jan. 19 issue of La Jolla Light, I was shocked and alarmed to learn that our fair town is under siege by land, air and sea. No other community of San Diego faces such a combination of horrors: the threat of DecoBikes prowling our palm tree-lined lanes; seals and sea lions commandeering our best beaches and bringing hordes of tourists that flood our shops and restaurants; flotillas of commercial airplanes buzzing our homes. Just like the nation needs a Great Wall, we need walls to shutter ourselves from these invaders and surely others yet to be discovered. In my opinion, we have the fairest weather, nicest homes, best schools,
La Jolla residents must all rally to fight noisy flight-path changes The recent, astonishing increase in commercial airliner noise in La Jolla has been well documented by La Jolla Light. Simply put, it appears that operating procedures have changed in such a way that the skies above and around La Jolla are now a concentrated corridor for southbound arrivals and northbound departures to and from the San Diego International Airport. And it is only going to get worse. New flight paths, posted online by the FAA, will bring airliners even lower and closer to our shores in the coming month or two — affecting not only Bird Rock, but homes facing the entire west-facing coast line of La Jolla! See bit.ly/proposeddepartures So, if you are unaffected now, enjoy your peace and quiet while it lasts. The citizens of La Jolla must unite to restore and preserve our Jewel. There are three key things that you must do now: 1) When you hear a commercial airliner, e-mail airnoise@san.org to submit a complaint. In your e-mail, you must state your first name, address with ZIP code, the problem (e.g., loud noise), and date and time of the air noise, or it will not be counted. The number of first-time complaints is used by the authorities as a measure of the severity of a noise issue. 2) Attend the Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) meeting 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 3225 N. Harbor Drive, downtown San Diego — we need a crowd! The largest possible number of people in attendance is required. bit.ly/anacmeetings 3) E-mail noplanenoiselajolla@gmail.com to join our list of concerned residents so that we can coordinate our response. While communities near the airport were able to comment and negotiate alternatives to the flight path changes proposed by the FAA as part of its NextGen program nearly two years ago, La Jolla was not “at the table,” and as a result, we got the short end of the stick. Now, we must get our voices heard if we have any hope for a quiet future. La Jolla, let’s make some noise of our own! Matthew Price
Open letter to airnoise@san.org Sirs, while we appreciate your recent response, your claim that the flight routes have not change over La Jolla is not believable, nor acceptable. Starting the last several months of 2016, the jet airplane noise over La Jolla has notably increased. This is not a guess, it is a statement of fact. All of a sudden there was a large spike in the number of air noise complaints filed.

brightest students and highest incomes in the City and anything that detracts from this illusion must be removed or stopped. Look around us and we see other communities struggling to create decent affordable housing (we don’t need to be affordable), gridlocked by poor transportation options (we don’t need or want more public transit), and contending with unhealthy air quality (toxic-injurious stuff, not odors). Now is the time to draw the line to save our fair town: Follow the national lead and look inward, not outward. Alternatively, ask yourself, what would Dr. Seuss tell us to do? Bill Tippets 25-year resident of La Jolla The constant noise has become a major concern for most of La Jolla residents. Dozens of letters were written to The San Diego Union-Tribune, La Jolla Light and other local news media highlighting this problem. This is not a conspiracy theory, the noise was noted by hundreds of residents. To try and brush this off by saying that it was helicopter noise, which in no way resembles the sound of a jet, or telling us it may be small passenger planes out of Montgomery Field is preposterous. Small four- to six-seater planes do not generate sounds similar to a jet. In addition, your own office sent us a copy on another e-mail, illustrating the flight patterns. We provided our address and it clearly shows we are now directly in the flight path, which was not the case for the previous 30 years we’ve resided in La Jolla Shores. Aside from this now constant disturbance, the larger issue is the failure of your board and the FAA to deal with our community in an open and honest manner. Your efforts to manipulate flight data in attempts to try and convince us these hourly invasions into our peaceful enjoyment of our homes is not acceptable, nor will it be tolerated. Please do not insult our collective intelligence and be so dismissive of our valid complaints. We expect better of our elected officials and local boards supposedly established to protect the public. We want you to tell us how and when we will see serious steps taken by your board to correct this situation. We urge our friends and neighbors to register their complaints at airnoise@san.org John and Barbara Sheridan

What has happened to La Jolla? GUEST COMMENTARY
BY THOR SIGSTEDT just watched a documentary on public television about Rachael Carson and her world-changing work “Silent Spring,” with descriptions of her life and how she fell in love with the ocean when she first saw it as a young woman, having been raised inland. Then I learned about how she spent lots of quality time on the Maine coast, observing, in particular, tidal pools, which, evidently, were great because of the large tides and the diagonal rock structures that interacted with the sea there. It reminded me of my own experience Thor Sigstedt as a young child as I explored the La Jolla beaches and tidal pools. I’ve seen reference to them in, for instance, “Cannery Row,” the film about a scientist/collector who went to La Jolla for specimens. I remember, so vividly, like I’m still there, what the La Jolla tidal pools were like back in the late 1950s — extraordinary visages of deep, crystal-clear tidal pools, like amazing jewelry, as they were absolutely teeming with the most colorful life and beauty imaginable. A 7- or 10-year-old could absorb his whole mind and being into those myriad fairyland pools and find an endless source of fascination with how intensely, achingly beautiful it all was. The beaches were strewn with shells of all sorts and seaweed clusters here and there, and that was fun, but the tidal pools contained, for those short amounts of time during low tide, the actual live creatures that provided the bits of shells. What did I see? Hermit crabs galore were scurrying around in their various shell-homes, little spiral castles that looked pretty expensive and seemed to be what they were made of, but, then one could see the actual shell creatures that provided the crabs their “homes.” They glommed onto the rocks with their suction-cup mouths, along with little abalones all over the place, tentacles of some sort coming out of the shoelace holes and, even young, were hard to pry off the stone tables. There were little fish so colorful that it hurt the brain to think how they got to be so totally blue or yellow or

Families explore the marine life at low tide along the coast, Sunday afternoon, Jan. 29. striped, and then rock fish of various sorts milled around, looking like they had the souls of crags. There were all kinds of starfish — skinny and tiny, or bulbous and strong-footed with myriad bumps. There were urchins of all sizes with their pointy spikes bristling like wild hairdos. There were purple sea cucumbers we liked to carefully poke to see their “clouds” emitted and waft around in technicolor for the gifted child (myself included). Then there were seaweed and the anemones, the mussels, the other mollusks, some segmented with chain mail, some volcanic, some like elongated clams and scalloped. The sand was pure. The water so clear you could see everything as if encased in crystal. In the background were endless crabs, emitting little permanent-seeming bubbles for amusement and sound effects, and threatening enough to scare a kid. There were a few seals and sea lions to swim around with, and there were, of course, sea gulls and other sea birds hovering around. The beauty and drama was like a magnet, drawing the child in and frightening him at the same time. Will the anemone suck the finger and never let it go? Will the fish sting? Will a tiger shark, an eel or a sea snake rush out and bite? Will a big wave come and tangle us all up together in a big swirl? Will some new critter, even more colorful show up like that neon one did yesterday, a first? What is edible? We lived in the great short canopy of tangled shrubs in the center of the park, playing there for hours at a time. And everything had a lovely patina of rust. There was no cold, unfriendly stainless steel to offend the eye. No background

odor that continually offends. No abandoned infrastructure that looks like came from a long-lost derelict traveling carnival. No poop of all kinds everywhere — everything scrubbed by nature and clean as a whistle. When I visited again last year as a 60-something visiting artist spending lots of time with my camera, I was baffled to think about how the tidal pools were almost devoid of life, the rocks were covered with droppings, the smell was overwhelming, the aesthetics of the handrails and other infrastructure was staggeringly thoughtless. (Did you ever think about getting some real artists involved in the trappings of what was once a world-class destination?) Gee whiz, you guys! What happened to you? And how did you let this happen? I think about the funds and intelligence you must have to take care of The Jewel of a place and the deep pockets around you, and I conclude, “La Jolla has been taken over by something like the Mob or powers that don’t know any better or just have plain bad taste and poor judgment.” The child who remembers such beauty feels the humans did what Rachael Carson was warning about in just some other, more bizarre way than she envisioned … children lost in the desert with water all around them. You, as we say around here, “Don’t seem to know the difference between a rat turd and a pinon nut!” I hope you find some way to restore the natural balance and aesthetics to your lost paradise. Good luck! — Thor Sigstedt is a resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The environmentalist writes a blog at thor-sigstedt.blogspot.com

City takes action on Pottery Canyon kiln case
Property owner: “I’m caught in a ‘Catch-22’ situation” BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN On Jan. 23, the City of San Diego sent a Civil Penalty Notice and Order (CPNO) to Lai Ngai, owner of the property at 2725 Torrey Pines Road, regarding the historically designated kiln that stands on his land. According to the Code Enforcement Section of the Development Services Department (DSD), Ngai must “immediately cease any and all activity on the pottery kiln located on the rear of the property.” However, in an e-mail to La Jolla Light, a perplexed Ngai maintains that no work has been done on the kiln nor its surroundings. “We have not done anything on the property, but have hired a developer to scope out the situation,” he wrote. The original report, which is included in the Code Enforcement case online at opendsd.com, dates back to 2014 and concludes: “The Pottery Canyon Park historic kiln is uncovered and left exposed to elements, deterioration, etc. The kiln is being allowed to deteriorate more quickly.” The six-foot-high kiln was designated “historical” in 1976, and considered part of the Rodriguez family legacy.

La JoLLa — Konrad Willard Dobrott, 52, of Smithfield, Va died peacefully at home on January 23, 2017. He was born october 19, 1964 in New York, NY. When he was 7, Kon’s family moved to La Jolla, Ca, where he discovered his first love, surfing. He used to joke about wanting to die being eaten by a shark because at least that would mean he was out surfing and his buddies would have such a great story to tell. That was Konrad - fearless, funny and always looking out for his friends. The shark that eventually got him was cancer and what a story he has left to inspire us all.

The Pottery Canyon kiln observed from Pottery Park Driveway, Jan. 26. used the kiln to make the clay pottery and tiles they sold from their spot on Torrey Pines Road. The designation covers the kiln that sits on adjacent private property. “It is clear to City staff that someone performed work on the kiln/property without a permit,” said City public information officer Paul Brencick. “But it’s unclear who did — owner or otherwise.” He added that City crews inspected the site and “a violation was confirmed by the City’s Historic Resources staff and Code Enforcement. In addition to neglect, it appears that work, not in accordance with the Secretary of Interior Standards for a designated Historic Resource, was performed. It appears someone tried to assist in slowing the deterioration of the kiln and by doing so damaged its integrity.”
FROM BLACK PIONEERS, A7 church, attended the large white Presbyterian Church on Draper Avenue,” Waters’ research shows. “Wanting a church of their own, the blacks received the sponsorship of the white church to start one.” And in 1926, the La Jolla Union Mission Church, the first African American religious congregation, opened on Cuvier Street, on the same lot where Prince Chapel by the Sea African Methodist Church stands today. Pace confided, “When the first Presbyterian Church put a payment down for that property and gave it to black people, they did that because they didn’t want the blacks to come to their church.” She added that at first there were two cottages on the property, one was turned into the church and the other was given to the pastor to live in. “It became the La Jolla Union Mission, but all the phone books at the time listed it as Black Church or Negro Church,” Pace continued. ■ “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers and Pioneer Descendents,” by Bettye Brown, Charley Buchanan, Donnie Epps, Catherine Hayek and Lorenza Taylor-Pace, is available by sending an e-mail to buckey@cox.net or lpace@prodigy.net ■ Next Week in La Jolla Light: A look at La Jolla’s black families, 1935-1945.
For the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS), the kiln is a “significant historical object representing an important story of La Jolla’s past,” explains executive director Heath Fox in a statement. The original concern, as discussed by the LJHS Preservation Committee in July 2016, was the kiln’s “rapid deterioration.” Referring to the deterioration, Ngai said Development Services staff told him to “leave everything as is” when he bought the property in 2013. “At any rate, I’ve been asked by DSD to leave the kiln alone even though it posts a safety hazard. We were told by them to check with the other City departments if we wished to develop the area,” Ngai said. Recently, Ngai hired a contractor to look at the building possibilities on the property with the intention to construct “a small house, not like those up the hilltop eating away the slope.” He added that hiring a builder may have triggered the CNPO from the City. LJHS and Ngai agree that constructing a replica of the kiln on the adjacent City Park, where it can stand closer to the sign and public view, would be a viable solution. Initially, LJHS considered moving the kiln entirely, but that idea was disregarded due to the possibility that the kiln could be contaminated by lead, usually present in ceramics and pottery at the time, and the toxic metal could become airborne while transporting it. However, attorney Toni Ciani, a friend of potter Cornelio Rodriguez who learned how to make tiles from him, told the Light that Rodriguez never used lead in his creations. Ngai said that when he bought the property, he wasn’t told that a historically designated object was included in the deal. “(We) felt that pertinent information from the seller was not forthcoming,” he said. “Now, why should I bear the cost for the kiln’s preservation? At any rate, I’m caught in a ‘Catch-22’ situation if my inaction has dire consequences. Also, boarding it up (to preserve the kiln) defeats the historical purpose if it is meant for public view.”
Lorenza Pace shares her memories of La Jolla ■ “My brothers were all stars. The boys had a much better time in La Jolla. They could either play better tennis than anybody, or be the best football players, baseball players, swimmers … the boys did really well.” ■ “I remember wanting to be a majorette when I was in the 10th grade, and I was really good, but they never took me. They didn’t have any black majorettes, and they didn’t want to start.” ■ “My best friend was white and very wealthy. She gave me a dog and she and I raised that dog from fourth grade until sixth grade. At the end of the sixth grade, her family sent her away to private school and I never laid eyes on her anymore. When I look at that now, I think that’s because they tried to keep her from coming to my house.” ■ “We had a good life. I don’t think we knew we were poor, we just knew that we had to go to work and make money to do this thing or the other.”

Who loves short shorts? Joyce Axelrod!
Introducing Jewish Film Fest’s ‘Queen of Shorts’ BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT eb. 8 marks the start of the 27th annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival (SDJFF), presented by the Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. This year’s 12-day festival, Feb. 8-19, features 60 films from 21 countries at five venues around the county, and is expected to attract thousands of viewers, Jews and non-Jews alike. One of the highlights is the Joyce Forum, a full day of short films on Monday, Feb. 13, at ArcLight Cinemas in Westfield UTC Mall. The forum, which includes four 90-minute programs of films, each 2-30 minutes long, was named for SDJFF founder Joyce Axelrod. Axelrod’s life began in Española, a small town outside Santa Fe, where her father owned a furniture store and she was known as “the little Jew girl.” “My father came from Lithuania, he spoke Spanish better than English, and we were the only Jews in town,” she said. “His customers were Hispanics and Indians from the nearby reservations. When I was in third grade, we moved to Albuquerque, and later I went to college in Tucson, where I met my husband, Bob Axelrod, and started teaching school.”

Widowed young, Axelrod took a job teaching in Japan, on an American airbase. “It was a fabulous experience, and when I came home, I was anxious to start a new job and a new life,” she said. “In 1970, I went to San Diego, loved it, and found a job teaching special education in El Cajon.” The program she developed for teaching simple skills to her students was so successful that school administrators asked her to make a video to show their progress. “They handed me a camcorder, assured me they wouldn’t judge me on my cinematography, and I did a short piece that was good enough to use as a teaching tool.” In 1972, she met Joe Fisch, a local attorney, and fell in love. They bought a house together, but didn’t get married until 1991, in a “surprise wedding.” Among their other unconventional choices: every few years, they’d close up their house and live somewhere else for several months: Manhattan, Jerusalem, London, Philadelphia, Boston, Montreal, Seattle. “People look at me and think they know who I am,” Axelrod said. “They’re always surprised to hear about all my adventures.” On the more traditional side, she joined the boards of various organizations, including the JCC’s Center for Jewish Culture, La Jolla Athenaeum, Playwrights SEE JOYCE AXELROD, B10

So what’s the worst that can happen?
E
La Jolla Cultural Partners
very family needs a family worrier — a person who worries about everything from world peace to whether we’re out of lunch meat. Someone, after all, has to worry about whether the house will get robbed, sea level is rising, or one of you will get sick the day before you leave on vacation. I have always been the worrier in my family. Being a family worrier is an extremely demanding job. Not only do you have to worry about the likely things that can go wrong, but the unlikely things as well. Of course, in my view, there is no “unlikely.” To be a successful family worrier, one must subscribe to two fundamental principles. The first and most crucial is that no matter what anybody else tells you, nature abhors a confident person. The second: Let one disastrous possibility go unworried about and you can just about guarantee it will happen. For example, I never worried that the failure of the City to maintain sewer lines after the passage of Proposition 13 in 1976 would result five years later, on January 7, 1981, in a trunk line sewer block in front of our house that routed the entire neighborhoods sewage through our home
for almost two hours. Or that the day before Thanksgiving in 2015, hours before the family was descending on us for the holiday meal, a possum would die under my kitchen creating an odor not unlike a barrel of rotting barracuda. Now, of course, both of those are on my regular worry list. Anxiety disorders run in my family. That’s why I was interested in an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune a few weeks back titled “Mulling the worst: One therapist’s anxiety fix.” Her solution for combating anxiety is to imagine the worst that could happen and then, she’s decided in her inexplicably delusional way, you will realize that even the worst isn’t that bad. Seriously? I’m sure this therapist is a very nice lady but I can only assume she’s been out of graduate school for a matter of days. We worriers are world-class catastrophic thinkers. In all modesty, it’s where we excel. For example, she says, if your kid is anxious about missing the soccer ball during a game, you should sit down with him and ask, would that so terrible? Hell yes! The other kids on the team will probably never let him forget it, teasing him about it in perpetuity. If they lose the game,
it will be his fault. His teammates will nickname him Klutzoid, a moniker that will stick with him until his octogenarian years. The coach will stop playing him, and any hope he will ever have at playing up to the next level is permanently shot. Someone will post it on Facebook where it will be immortalized forever and played at his wedding. So, “not so bad”? Hah! I don’t think so! Another recent article about anxiety in the Union-Tribune recommends “motivational self-talk” like “I can do it!” or “I’ll be fine!” to give yourself the whole ridiculous illusion that we actually have some control in unexpectedly anxiety-provoking situations. I don’t think this therapist travels on airplanes where they make it abundantly clear you have the power of a gnat. So herein lies the problem. There’s just too much to worry about these days, and we’re not even counting the new administration. From time to time Olof has tried to convince me that the worrying itself was not the reason an event went well but my thorough (some have unkindly called it massively obsessive) planning. But then, what does he know? May I add that being the family worrier is a thankless job. There you are worrying your little heart out for people, and are they the least bit grateful? “Olof,” I said, “I’d like for you to start doing some of the worrying for a change.” “But I’m not worried,” insisted Olof. Olof says he doesn’t have to worry about anything, not that he’s inclined to anyway. He knows I’ve got everything more than covered. “That’s exactly my point. Of course, I’ll still take charge of the global worrying and the prevention of major disasters.” I wasn’t sure I’d trust Olof to worry enough to keep the

post-earthquake tsunami from dragging our house out to sea anyway. “But I do think you could take over some of the routine worries, like whether the airport will be fogged in, the stove will crump in the middle of cooking Christmas dinner, or another possum will die in the crawl space under the kitchen the day before everyone is coming for Thanksgiving.” “Really,” he insisted, “What are the odds the possum thing would ever happen a second time?” And that, of course, is exactly the kind of thinking that guarantees deceased marsupials under your house. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

Witnessing the peaceful transfer of power La Jolla Country Day students attend inauguration in Washington, D.C.
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Although most were not old enough to vote, a group of La Jolla Country Day School (LJCDS) students got a first-hand, one-of-a-kind look into the world of politics during the recent presidential inauguration.
From Jan. 18-22, 62 LJCDS students were in Washington, D.C., to attend the inauguration of President Donald Trump, meet with senators and hear a speech from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Some also attended the Women’s March.
Sitting down with La Jolla Light, sophomores Skylar Kelley-Duval, Raquel Ramirez and Nina Khosla, along with teachers Jonathan Shulman and Blair Overstreet , shared their experiences. Shulman explained LJCDS organized a trip
to the nation’s capital in 2009 and 2013 following the two preceding presidential elections. “I grew up outside of Washington, D.C. and since coming out here, it surprised me how many students are disconnected from D.C. and what goes on there after the

Voices of the Mall
While on the frosty East Coast, the students engaged in the Voices of the Mall project, in which they interviewed Inauguration attendees to hear their stories, learn what influenced their political decision-making and more. Each student was required to conduct two interviews, but some opted to do more. The results will be posted on a website this summer: voicesofthemall.com Skylar said he asked which issues most influenced his interviewees in the voting booth. “There were people who described
themselves as not being a ‘problem-voter’ or an ‘issue-voter.’ They looked at the ethics of the candidate over their stance on certain issues.” Added Nina, “I met one woman who also did not talk about the issues, but more about how she thought the government should be run. She said it should be run like a business to solve our economic issues. I hadn’t thought of it like that, that America is like a business. So she made me think of the pros and cons of having a president who has run multiple businesses and how that could influence the next four to eight years.”
last election, and I thought, looking at this election, that things were really messy. I feel like it’s going to be harder going forward to mend the lines that were drawn. Being at the Inauguration was a little disheartening in that respect,” she said. “People were booing (Hilary Clinton), and I thought we were supposed to be coming together. We went and we accept the fact that Trump is our President, and that means we have to work together and get stuff done.” She added that the “best part” was watching a friend of hers — a Trump
Behavior on Capitol Hill
The students also got to hear from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as part of their itinerary, and said Justice Ginsberg provided them with an example of what it means to show respect. “She shared how the Supreme Court and the binary party system we have now worked when she arrived on the bench versus how it works today,” Skylar said. “She said there is less of an effort to work across the aisle and for change, but she mentioned her friendship with (the late) Justice Antonin Scalia and how they were able to be close friends despite their deep disagreements on certain issues. It was based on respect. She said she hopes we can return to that, because it’s important to the survival of our democracy.” Nina said she was encouraged by hearing that despite disagreements, civility is possible. “Some of the debates (leading up to the election) got a little bit disrespectful, and disrespect breeds disrespect, and we should get to a place where those on opposite sides can respect each other.

When do you do your work?
Tell us about your art.
“I’m a third-generation mosaic artist. It’s in my blood. When I went to to University of Washington, I studied sculpture and I married the passion between my mosaics and my love of sculpture. My largest sculpture today is 18 feet tall! It has been a traveling exhibit, the last has been at the Oceanside Museum of Art. It’s a huge ‘Hershey Kiss’ — you can walk into it and inside it smells like chocolate. While it was showing at the Oceanside museum, four couples asked if they could get married in it!”
“It’s in my head all day long. My routine here in La Jolla is to walk down to the Shore Rider Restaurant where they feed me because I’m not a good cook. There’s interesting people there — inventors, rocket scientists and artists ... it’s a good social place for me. Then, I’ll either get in my truck and go to my studio, which is in Miramar, or I’ll do my conceptual pieces from home.”
How do you come up with ideas? “My husband says in the middle of the night, sometimes I wake him up because I get so excited about something. With my ‘Urban Fruit Tree,’ I was frustrated with my children wanting so many sodas and fast food, sort of ‘the American diet,’ and I’m more of a health food nut, so I thought I’d do a parody of that ... ice cream cones and hot dogs growing on a tree. Who knows what apples and oranges are anymore (laughs).”
What materials do you use?

What’s the price range of your sculptures? “My ‘Kiss’ is the least expensive, $1,500, and the most expensive is my ‘Urban Fruit Tree,’ $125,000.”
What do you do for fun?
“I’m athletic, I love to hike Torrey Pines or walk into town. I used to ski a lot, but I’ve slowed down with the years. I just started learning canasta and I started teaching it to friends. It’s a very social game, and I met some of the most wonderful women around here, and we try to get together once a week.”

Steve Martin returns to Globe with ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’ BY DIANA SAENGER The world of Paris 1904 as seen through Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” awaits The Old Globe Theatre playgoers Feb. 4 to March 12. Those who saw Martin’s previous Globe productions — the world premiere of the musical “Bright Star,” which earned five Tony Award nominations on Broadway or the world premiere of the comedy “Meteor Shower” — will not want to miss his exciting take on this classic. Back in the day, Lapin Agile was a treasured cabaret for struggling artists, comedians, writers and intellectuals. Portraying them in this cast are Philippe Bowgen as Pablo Picasso; Donald Faison as Freddy; Kevin Hafso-Koppman as Visitor; Liza Lapira as Suzanne, Countess and Female Admirer; Hal Linden as Gaston; Ron Orbach as Sagot; Marcel Spears as Charles Dabernow Schmendiman; and Luna Vélez as Germaine. Justin Long stars as Albert Einstein. You may remember Long as actor, producer, director and writer (“Dodgeball,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “New Girl,” “Ed”). “I’m a huge fan of Steve Martin’s comedy and writing,” Long said. “I enjoyed reading this play years ago, and thought how fun it would be to do it. My friend, Justin Wallman, who is part of The Old Globe, and I did a play together a few years ago, so it was an easy choice. We want to bring some happiness to this world, and I’m fortunate I can participate in some of that.” Einstein was one of several characters who strolled into the Lapin Agile where the regulars would gather and talk about their work. “I liked how Hal Linden said it was a bit like an episode of ‘Cheers,’ and if Einstein was part of that show he would be Frasier Crane because he loved to argue,” Long said. “Some of these characters end up being very important figures of the 20th century. They debate love, life and art to a heightened reality that is so fun. No one has a better ear for comedy than Steve Martin, so it has great dialogue —
rhythmic, cerebral and sometimes stupid in the best way of joy and fun. There are moments that are more profound and there’s a pee joke — it’s quintessential Steve Martin.” Long said he did some research about the historical figures in the play. “That research made it easier for me to inhabit the parts about Justin Long plays Einstein’s shoes and mustache, Albert Einstein. and get an overview of his theory of relativity. I have to speak in scientific terms and see scientific abstracts in a beautiful way. I remember the character Professor Ludwig Von Drake in Walt Disney’s cartoons, and comic book characters ... that was my first introduction to Einstein, but it was a little over the top with the accents and Einstein has to be clear. There are moments in the show that are kind of like Marx Brothers-esque; the lines are very rhythmic and remind me of Groucho.” Long said he agrees that Martin’s work is forefront on the American stage, and he likes the humanity he puts forth in this script. “The way he frames ideas and stories with humor and depth creates so much meaning, and yet he keeps it funny,” Long said. “I think that’s a difficult marriage and that’s why I’ve always been a fan. Anyone with a profound fondness for art and life, and who is curious about how science figures into that, will enjoy this comedy. I find it fascinating to see these humans mix, and to imagine how they drank a beer, talked, carried themselves, sat at a bar, danced .... or tried to hook up with the same girl.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” runs through March 12 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $29. (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org

FROM JOYCE AXELROD, B1 Project and the local branch of the United Jewish Federation, who asked her to create a slide presentation for their 50th anniversary in 1987. Then Lynette Allen, Director of Cultural Arts at the JCC, invited her to help start a film festival there. “At first, we set up 60 folding chairs in the gym and showed four films a year,” Axelrod remembered. “Then someone said: why
don’t you have a real festival, in a real theater? So in 1990, we rented Sherwood Auditorium (at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla), which holds 500 people, put up posters for the First Annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival, and showed four films in 10 days, with capacity crowds every time.” And what about shorts? “Back in the day, festivals only used shorts as filler,” she said. “If a feature ran under 90 minutes, we’d fill in
‘Journey Birds,’ a 10-minute animated film by Daphna Awadish (Israel), was shot on a smartphone, and won this year’s Grand Jury Prize at the MoMo Festival in Zurich. Called ‘an astoundingly original commentary on immigration,’ it will screen in Joyce Forum’s Program 2, starting at 2 p.m., Feb. 13. with a couple of ‘short subjects.’ Sometimes they were better than the feature films!” In 2003, for her birthday, Axelrod’s husband made a donation in her name to the SDJFF, to do “something special” — and so the Joyce Forum was born. “We now have a 16-person committee that screens about 150 films from all over the world,” she explained. “This year, we’re showing 23 shorts from six different countries, and it’s really a forum — we have
a lunchtime panel discussion with some of the filmmakers, led by KBPS film critic Beth Accomando.” From their modest beginnings, Joyce Axelrod and her shorts have come a long way. ■ IF YOU GO: “Joyce Forum: A Day of Short Films,” starts at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 13 at ArcLight Cinemas, 4425 La Jolla Village Drive, Westfield UTC Mall.

Lobster Martini Valentine (for her)
Gustatory Gift of the Magi for St. Valentine’s Day
A
year ago, I caught up with an old friend whose daughter was just married. She told me that the newlyweds were recent graduates with modest internship incomes and tons of student debt. But they were madly in love, and would go to the moon for each other. Last Valentine’s Day, each separately planned an intimate surprise dinner for the other. Her daughter was a lobster lover, while her son-in-law a diehard carnivore. Their cramped apartment was packed to the rafters with wedding gifts, including a lobster kit with an array of silver-plated seafood tools to enjoy a crustaceous feast, and a set of gold-plated steak knives. Unbeknownst to the other, she returned the lobster kit and used the money to buy the fixings for a gourmet steak-and-caviar dinner, while he returned the knives to buy a live lobster with Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. Alas, my friend’s daughter was lovingly presented with her favorite food, but deprived of the proper tools to fully indulge, while her son-in-law was served a juicy T-bone steak without the appropriate cutting utensils. This sweet love story of comedic irony reminded me of O. Henry’s classic “The Gift of the Magi.” Although a traditional
■ You’ll need: 10 ounces lobster tail meat (cooked, chopped), 6 jumbo shrimps (cooked and peeled, tails remaining), 1 cup vegetable cocktail juice, 1/3 cup tomato juice, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, 1 tablespoon shallots (minced), 2 tablespoons Persian cucumber (minced), 12 green pimento-stuffed olives (halved), 1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley (minced), 1 Roma tomato (minced), 1/4-cup vermouth or white wine, lemon twists or Italian parsley sprigs for garnish ■ Method: In a medium size glass bowl, combine all the ingredients for the sauce. Add the lobster to the sauce and toss gently. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Evenly distribute the mixture into 2 cocktail glasses. Add 3 jumbo shrimps to the rim of each glass, and garnish with lemon twists or parsley sprigs. Serves 2.

Christmas tale of devotion, the theme is a universal one that fittingly pays homage to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia (a precursor to St. Valentine’s Day) to ensure the fertility of the people, the fields and the flocks. Foods that were by nature representative of “seeds” (like bulbs and eggs) were thought to be endowed with sexual powers, while those that resembled male and female reproductive parts were also considered libido-enhancing and in great demand. The long, lusty food list started with the almond as a fertility symbol back in Biblical times as its heady aroma was believed to

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” True. Lincoln, who most agree to be one of our country’s greatest presidents, was born Feb. 12, 1809, which would WIKICOMMONS make him 208 years old this year! The 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln is famous for being November 1863 Commander in Chief during the Civil War, writing the Gettysburg Address, abolishing slavery (13th Amendment), and being one of the four presidents who have been assassinated. Prior to his election as president in 1860, he had successful careers as a lawyer and politician in Illinois, serving several terms in the state legislature and one in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Presidents and The Press
■ “Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.” — Ronald Reagan ■ “If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read, ‘President Can’t Swim.’ ” — Lyndon B. Johnson ■ “There is a terrific disadvantage in not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily. Even though we never like it, and even though we wish they didn’t write it, and even though we disapprove, there isn’t any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press.” — John F. Kennedy ■ “Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel.” — Bill Clinton

The Hazards of Binge Exercising after the Holidays January is filled with people resolving to live a healthier, more active lifestyle. In fact, many gyms make most of their money between January and February on new memberships (and often see a 40%-80% drop in attendance by March). Frequently, though, people are so preoccupied with numbers and sizes—dropping those 5-15 holiday pounds, for example—that they only focus on shortterm results for what really should be a longterm solution. The truth is that fitness is a lifestyle and not something that should be a binge activity. Why? Binge exercising can actually be harmful to
your vein and heart health. Other hazards of binge exercising are an increased chance of sustaining injury, especially when coming off a stretch of inactivity. Does this sound familiar? You resolve to get in shape, so you join a fitness boot camp. They have a plan that gives you some kind of rebate if you lose a certain amount of weight in the first week. You are pushed to binge exercise (and binge diet). The problem? Sudden bursts of extended (binge) exercising are hard on your muscles, which haven’t been trained slowly to be in shape. The same problem is true for people who set a goal to run a marathon for the first time. You don’t become a marathon runner to get in shape; you have to train slowly, over a period of time, to build up to becoming a marathon runner. You can’t binge exercise over a few months to get in shape and be healthy. Binge exercising is like overdosing on exercise. A lot of scientific research has been conducted on the effects of binge exercising on health because of the recent trends in boot camps and marathon and triathlon participation.
For most people, workouts should be low impact and should not last for more than 45 minutes at a time in order to be the most effective with the fewest health hazards. Cardiovascular activity improves the oxygenation in your blood, your body’s ability to detoxify, your endorphin levels, and can boost your immune system, all while getting your heart to pump more efficiently through your cardiovascular system. However, binge exercising—heavy activity sustained for considerably more than 45 minutes, not only decreases the rates of these benefits but can actually do harm to your body. For one thing, binge exercising can cause your body to break down your tissues, also known as going into a catabolic state. Your immune system may be weakened, in part because of the release of excessive cortisol, which in some cases can lead to chronic disease. Sustained binge exercising can lead to microscopic tears in your muscles, which won’t heal if binge exercising continues. And working out too late in the day and for too long can lead to insomnia.
But the greatest potential threat of binge exercising is the effect it can have on your heart’s health. Remember, the heart is a muscle as well as the center of your vascular system. Overtraining for activities such as marathons or triathlons can put the heart under extremely high stress. Endurance runners experience greater scarring on the heart tissue (this is especially acute for middle-aged men). Part of the reason for this is that extensive cardiovascular exercise causes high oxidative stress, as well as inflammation—and all of these can potentially trigger cardiac arrest. Recent extensive research even shows notably higher instances in endurance runners of calcified plaque in their arteries, as well as more detectable scar tissue on their heart muscles and decreased right ventricular systolic function.

Kallisti to guest star at next Symphony & Chorus concert
JIM CARMODY
UC San Diego’s resident vocal performance group, Kallisti, under the artistic direction of music professor Susan Narucki, will join the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus in a rare performance of Luciano Berio’s ‘Sinfonia.’
FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will present the third concert of its 62nd season, a program of extremes — from the singular focus of Beethoven’s “Violin Concerto” to the post-modern pastiche of Luciano Berio’s “Sinfonia,” Feb. 11-12 in Mandeville Auditorium on the UC San Diego campus. Music Director Steven Schick will conduct the orchestra and guest artists, violinist David Bowlin and vocal octet Kallisti, in a concert that begins with Gioachino Rossini’s overture to the “Barber of Seville.” From its premiere in Rome on Feb. 20, 1816, the “Barber” overture with its witty music and comic intrigue, is one of the most popular parts of the opera. Beethoven’s “Violin Concerto” (premiered Dec. 23, 1806) is one of the composer’s most regal works, full of majesty and relaxed nobility. Though Beethoven is not normally thought of as a melodist, in this concerto he makes full use of the violin’s lyric capabilities. Soloist Bowlin, a faculty member at Oberlin Conservatory of Music, will perform Schneiderhan’s rarely-heard arrangement of the piece, complete with the fiery duet between soloist and timpanis in the first movement and brilliant outburst in the finale. In 1969, the 44-year-old Berio confronted the imposing heritage of Beethoven and Mahler and composed his “Sinfonia.” The work was commissioned by the New
Violinist David Bowlin will perform Beethoven’s majestic ‘Violin Concerto’ with La Jolla Symphony & Chorus.
COURTESY
York Philharmonic for its 125th anniversary. The year was 1968, a turbulent time with Vietnam War protests at their most intense, the assassinations of both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, and the riots at the Democratic convention in Chicago. As these events challenged the established order, Berio consciously re-thought classical form. He made “Sinfonia” the vehicle by which he could evoke and question the ideas and symphonic tradition of Western civilization. Using the full resources
of a large modern symphony orchestra, Berio added an important role for eight amplified vocal soloists, performed here by the UCSD vocal octet, Kallisti. ■ IF YOU GO: Concert times are 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 and 2 p.m. on Sunday at Mandeville Auditorium, on UCSD campus. Parking is free. A pre-concert lecture by Schick is offered one hour prior. Tickets are $15-$29 at (858) 534-4637 or lajollasymphony.com

Naturalist to discuss the world of sea turtles
-Sponsored Content-
Rain, Wind and Fire… “The three menaces to any chimney, fireplace or stove.”
The American Cetacean Society will present Jeremy Smith discussing, “Sea Turtles in America, My Experience,” 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 8 at Sumner Auditorium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. The lecture is free to the public. Smith works for San Diego Whale Watch, where he’s been a naturalist for the last four years. His background includes educational work at the North Carolina Aquarium, Duke Marine Lab and Sea Camp San Diego, where he’s taught kids about marine science. His sea turtle experience began in 2001 on the beaches of southern Florida. He’s worked with loggerheads, hawksbills, leatherbacks and green turtle species on nesting beaches including Barbados and St. Croix. He spends his summers in St. Croix helping biologist Kelly Stewart (who writes the monthly Natural La Jolla column in the La Jolla Light) with a population analysis and genetics study of leatherback sea turtles. Directions to the event can be found at acssandiego.org

FROM INAUGURATION, B5 reported in the millions. In D.C., more than 450,000 people took to the streets. “Once the election went the way that it did and the March was announced, many students expressed an interest. So students who wanted to could march, and those that didn’t could go to the Smithsonian and the National Archives,” Overstreet said. But, as Schulman joked, “If you were walking around D.C. that day, you were marching.” That was fortunate for Skylar, who said he wanted to march but didn’t because “I have wanted to see the Smithsonian my whole life.” However, while enroute between the Smithsonian and other museums, he crossed paths with marchers. “The hundreds of thousands of people who attended the march made it difficult to navigate museum-to-museum. So as someone who wanted to do both, walking in between counted for me as marching,” he said. Both Nina and Raquel opted to march. “Being part of the historic event like the Women’s March was a great experience. I expected to be disappointed during the Inauguration, but all the amazing experiences I had before that and after that completely made up for anything I was feeling that day.” Added Raquel, “The March had an aura of positivity and there were fantastic signs. Everyone was cheering, except when we passed in front of the Trump Hotel, when people booed, but then they cheered again
as they passed it. One of our friends is in a wheelchair, and she told me that at the Inauguration, people wouldn’t let her through and some made comments to her. At the March, if someone had a stroller or a wheelchair, everyone got out of their way.”
Parting thoughts
Inspired by the experience, each student reflected on how they were motivated to keep a watchful eye on the political process going forward. Skylar said, “I feel a little scared. Trump signed an executive order freezing the Affordable Care Act (aka Obama Care) in its tracks, and my aunt is a recipient of Obama Care and she no longer has health insurance. Things like that hit people hard. But I remain hopeful. “If Trump is anything,” Skylar reasoned, “he’s new, and this can be seen as an opportunity to figure out some way to get something done. His policies may be considered extreme or harmful to many people, but I think there will be a way to move forward and get something done in the next four years.” Nina observed, “I saw a quote on a sign at the March that said, ‘Don’t count the days, make the days count.’ I feel like we have to remember that ... to not just count the days to the next election, but go about making change and not let one person in government stop us. We can’t hope for change if we don’t want to do anything about it.” Raquel concluded, “We witnessed the way our democracy works and it makes me want to go out and, when I can, vote and be active in government.”
