BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During a Public Information Workshop Feb. 2 at Solana Vista Elementary School, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) personnel offered information about changes coming to San Diego International Airport landings and departures this spring as part of the Southern California Metroplex Project, but no explanation for why La Jolla residents have noticed an increase in jet airplane noise starting in fall 2016. “In the last seven years, air traffic has increased in Southern California. I’m not saying that explains everything, but there’s definitely more flights,” said public information officer Ian Gregor. Other reasons would be an increase in the size of airplanes (and therefore, their volume), frequency of smaller planes and helicopters, the overcast weather and growth of Gillespie Field airport (whose air space lays to the north of San Diego International Airport). “There have been no changes (in FAA procedures) in the 10 years I’ve worked here,” FAA air traffic controller Mike Taylor said. He theorized that “people hear changes in flight paths are coming. And I’m not discrediting anybody, but now they notice it more (when planes are present and say) ‘Oh, yeah, there are planes out there.’ But again, this is just my opinion,” he said. “San Diego Airport Authority determines how many airplanes can be at the airport at one time, we don’t,” he concluded.

La Jolla’s Black Pioneers

Part 2: A tight-knit community in the Great Depression era BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: Each issue in February will contain a story from this four-part series on the life and times of those African-Americans who made La Jolla their home in the Village’s early days. We hope you find it as interesting and informative as we did bringing it to you. harles Wood arrived in La Jolla in 1919 with his wife, Adeline, who was the niece of the wealthiest African-American woman in town: Henrietta VanHorn-DeBose. One of 27 siblings, he only completed his education up to the fourth grade

and went on to become a successful landlord and a figurehead in the community. Woods’ niece, Catherine Hayek, researched MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN his beginnings and the history of early black Catherine Hayek poses in front of the land that used to families in La Jolla 1935-1940 for the book SEE BLACK PIONEERS, A4 belong to her uncle Charles Wood, 7520-7530 Draper Ave.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - FEBRUARY 9, 2017 - PAGE A3

FROM AIRPLANE NOISE, A1 La Jolla resident Len Gross, who attended the meeting, offered a tentative explanation, “It’s a combination of things, a whole bunch of factors that we haven’t yet figured out. The airport procedure hasn’t changed, but over time, (San Diego Airport northbound departures) have moved closer to shore, for whatever reason. Also, people in La Jolla have gotten sensitive (to plane noise). They hear about Metroplex Project and they think, ‘It must be that,’ it’s a psychological phenomenon.” However, Gross clarified he would still put up a fight against the plane noise in La Jolla. “We’re very upset about this. When you put all these factors together (bigger and more frequent planes, more helicopter and general aviation flights), it feels like we live in an airport.”

Metroplex Project

The FAA’s Southern California Metroplex Project is a plan to improve safety and efficiency in area airports by replacing the beacon-based air routes with satellite-based navigation, changing the points at which airplanes turn en route. “Satellite technology allows us to build more direct routes as well as routes that are automatically separated from one another. This creates a more efficient system and reduces pilot-controller communications,” the FAA said in a press release. These changes will be implemented in March and April. The FAA added, “During our environmental analysis for this project, we modeled noise at about 300,000 locations throughout Southern California. Our

The project’s website reads: “This is the FAA’s final decision, and it enables the agency to move forward with implementing the project.” Three new satellite-based air routes for San Diego International Airport were presented at the workshop. Some of the pivotal points where planes turn will change, because in the old system the navigation beacons were physically planted on the ground, and the new technology allows for satellite-based locations. San Diego International Airport departure routes will be replaced, so aircrafts going north (towards San Francisco) will turn on a satellite point, which FAA maps show is

closer to the shore than the current one. However, FAA personnel assured Bird Rock residents, who have been complaining of the noise created by outgoing flights, that the new technology will ensure more precise navigation routes. Therefore, less commercial flights will deviate from their route and turn north closer to the coast (which could explain some of the noise increase noticed by residents). The landing route path will remain largely the same, but the change will be in the way aircraft pilots perform descents. “We can create descents in which aircraft essentially glide down on idle or near-idle power to their final approaches. Because engines aren’t spooling up and air brakes aren’t being deployed, the plane makes less noise,” reads the FAA press release. Other advantages of this method are fewer carbon dioxide emissions and better fuel efficiency.

■ If you hear a loud airliner, you may submit a complaint to airnoise@san.org or visit webtrak5.bksv.com/san and wait 30 minutes for the system to register the passing flight. ■ To be counted, you must include your first and last name, address with ZIP code, the time and date you heard the noise, and the problem (i.e. loud noise). So for La Jolla Shores neighbors who have protested increasingly loud arriving flights, those aircrafts could potentially be quieter. “I’m very confident about this, because (reduction in noise) is happening in Washington, D.C., Houston, Atlanta, north Texas … and northern California, where they have already implemented these changes,” said Taylor. The next public meetings where aircraft noise in La Jolla will be discussed are the La Jolla Town Council, 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. and the Airport Noise Advisory Committee, 4 p.m. Feb. 15 at 3225 N.

FROM BLACK PIONEERS, A1 “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers and Pioneer Descendants 1880-1974.” VanHorn-DeBose, Hayek explained, was in need of help with her hand laundry business, so she sent for the Woods family to move to La Jolla. “Henrietta taught Adeline everything in the hand laundry business: costumer relations, management and how to handle the employees, and Adeline became so efficient at running it that (the business) grew out of control!” she added. VanHorn-DeBose, who had inherited a great deal of land from her late husband, passed away in 1936, leaving everything to her only heirs, the Woods. “Adeline held on to some of the property and sold some,” Hayek continued, adding the she also sold the land on which her aunt lived on Girard Avenue. “When Adeline sold the property, the house was moved to Orange Avenue, which is now called Draper Avenue.” Adeline passed away in 1940, and Charles inherited the remaining VanHorn-DeBose property. “Living quarters for the blacks in La Jolla were always needed as the black population grew, there were never sufficient rentals. He remodeled the home on Draper Avenue, and turned it into a rooming house,” Hayek reported. In that way he became a landlord for low-income African-American workers. “Everybody knew Charlie Wood. His house was called ‘The Ranch’ because it was on a big area, and he had a big porch so people would come by and just sit on the porch, and talk to him. All the kids in the neighborhood would come over, too,” Hayek said.

The community of service workers in La Jolla in the 1920s and 1930s included black, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and white immigrant workers, according to “Traces of Black San Diego” by Cristin McVey. “Although the more affluent households in La Jolla could provide for ‘live in’ service staff, many of the residents only needed or could afford a person to clean or attend the garden once per week or during certain seasons of the year. Whereas the Japanese, Chinese and Filipino workers lived spread out through different sections of La Jolla, the black community resided in close proximity to one another just north of Pearl Street on Draper Avenue,” she wrote.

The population of African-Americans listed in the La Jolla community was 219 people by 1940, states the “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers” book. McVey reported, “Almost half of the black families in 1920 and 1930 census owned their homes, typically valued on average $4,000 and the other half rented, most of them renting from black landlords.” The then-known as “Black Quarters” soon extended to sections of Eads Avenue, Silver Street and Cuvier Street north of Pearl. The land there, McVey says, was cheap compared to other areas of La Jolla. “The land had been originally set aside as a depot for trash collections trucks and the land itself was

soggy and bog-like in some areas. … In 1927, the average lot on Draper Avenue was valued at $400 compared to an average of $5,000 on Girard (Avenue) just a few blocks north.”

The Great Depression

While the rest of the country struggled in the days after the Great Depression, La Jolla seemed oblivious to this crisis, wrote Barbara Waters in her research “A Unique Black Community: La Jolla, California 1920-1940.” “From interviews with black people that were in La Jolla at this time, it seems that they were not included among the needy. I suspect that the needy in La Jolla at the time were poor white (people),” she wrote.

This low-income class lived, according to McVey, “isolated” from the African-Americans in their own neighborhood on Fay Avenue north of Pearl. “However, the rate of home ownership by whites in this section was considerably less than blacks. When difficult times hit during the Depression and the years leading up to the war, poor whites often rented from blacks who often owned more than one property in the neighborhood or several properties on a single lot,” she wrote. “Black people in La Jolla during the Depression,” continued Waters, “were never unemployed and their children didn’t go to Welfare Cottage for handouts. They felt their lives were pretty good. A close community, everyone looked out for one another.”

Education

“Because the public schools in La Jolla were not segregated, any child who lived in La Jolla was allowed to attend La Jolla Elementary and La Jolla High,” McVey’s research shows. Lorenza Pace, another author of the “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers” book who was born in La Jolla in 1934, confirmed this notion. Her mother, she said, was the first black female to attend La Jolla Elementary, although not the first one to graduate from the school. “Yearbook photographs make it possible to track these students through their schooling years, and these photographs assist in developing the broader picture of the black community during these early years,” McVey reported. Pace, who went to school in La Jolla, remembers being one of two black female

I don’t remember discrimination, except one incident that I had with one teacher in La Jolla High,” she said.

Religion

In 1926 the first African-American church opened, the La Jolla Union Mission Church, sponsored by the nearby white Presbyterian Church. “Within a few years, the denomination of the church on Cuvier Street changed to Methodist, but the church continued to receive funds from First

Presbyterian to assist them during this early period,” McVey stated. The budding church community was responsible for the Church mortgage and in 1936, when it was paid of, a celebration was and banquet dinner was held at La Jolla Rec Center. Waters and McVey found evidence that a second, smaller religious congregation also formed among African-Americans in La Jolla. “Priding themselves as the founders of the first Black church in La Jolla, the older settlers took it upon themselves to set the standards as to who ‘belonged’ and who didn’t,” Waters wrote.

McVey agreed, “In 1935, the pool hall became a place of worship on Sundays for new arrivals who lacked ties to wealthy white families or earlier black settlers.” By 1944, this group erected the New Holiness Church, called Saint John Church of God in Christ. “Without the help of white benefactors, they managed to build themselves a church,” Waters wrote. This second religious group was reportedly frowned upon by the first congregation as people with habits such as drinking or gambling. Hayek, who was born in Virginia and came to La Jolla in 1950 at age 2 with her mother, recalled that at her uncle Charles’ Ranch, “Men rented apartments, and they had a gambling-type casino and my uncle would let people gamble back there.” However, she remembered been a proud part of the Cuvier Street first African-American congregation. “Church was a big deal,” she said. Charles would not only rent rooms but also lend money to workers when they were in trouble, Hayek explained. “Uncle did a lot for the blacks in the community, he was very well respected.” He lived in his home on Draper Avenue until he died at age 81. Hayek said the house was found to be “historic” and was moved to Arenas Street and La Jolla Boulevard, where it still stands. ■ “La Jolla, California Black Pioneers and Pioneer Descendants,” by Bettye Brown, Charley Buchanan, Donnie Epps, Catherine Hayek and Lorenza Taylor-Pace, is available by emailing buckey@cox.net or lpace@prodigy.net ■ Next Week: A look at the black community in La Jolla 1941-1949.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

When to call 9-1-1: Police provide a how-to guide for citizens BY OFFICER LARRY HESSELGESSER San Diego Police Department any people hesitate to call 9-1-1 because they are unsure if the situation is a true emergency. Emergencies include crimes that are in progress or about to happen, and ones that have resulted in serious personal injury, property damage or property loss. They also include situations in which the suspect may still be at the scene and some suspicious activities. By calling 9-1-1 you will be linked to the appropriate police as well as fire-fighting, medical and ambulance services. You don’t need money to call 9-1-1 from a pay phone.

Several years ago, 9-1-1 calls from cellular phones were answered by the California Highway Patrol (CHP). CHP, in turn, transferred calls that were not freeway related to the appropriate jurisdiction for a response. Since then, the State of California has mandated that cellular phone companies modify their technology to route calls to the appropriate agencies. The larger cellular phone companies have met the established standards and can now send their calls to any agency ready to receive them. In June 2005, the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) began receiving 9-1-1 wireless calls placed within the City limits except those made from freeways, which are

still answered by CHP. In order for this service to work properly, callers need to contact their service provider to determine if they have GPS ready phones. They also have to activate their telephone GPS settings in order for the GPS module to pass along the caller location. Citizens should contact their service providers for detailed instructions. Caution: Wireless callers should NOT assume that SDPD will receive their exact location. When making a 9-1-1 call from a cellular phone, they should stay on the line and advise the dispatcher from where they are calling. At this early stage, testing has shown the GPS data is NOT exact enough to ensure emergency personnel will be able to locate the caller. In sum, if you think that a crime may be occurring, or that the safety of you or your neighbors may be at risk, don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1. You shouldn’t worry about using up police time. Calls to 9-1-1 will be prioritized based on availability of law enforcement. Even if you are unsure as to what is going on, the best thing to do is to let the police investigate. If you see someone knocking or ringing a neighbor’s doorbell late at night and they appear to be looking for a way in or checking a side gate that would be a 9-1-1 call. You will not get in trouble if this does not turn out to be an attempted crime in progress. — Originally posted at nextdoor.com

ASHLEY MACKIN

Dan McChandless shows how the La Jolla Rec Center playground could be rearranged to open up more play space in the center of the yard, during the La Jolla Park & Rec meeting, Jan. 31.

La Jolla Park & Rec board debates playground plans BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. debated the pros and cons of completely redesigning the La Jolla Recreation Center’s playground during its Jan. 31 meeting. After a brainstorming session in December, at which dozens of La Jollans turned up to suggest improvements to safety and visibility, the board heard from private citizen Dan McChandless, who presented an idea to reconfigure the layout of the playground. The board did not vote on the plans as presented, deciding instead to keep the item “Playground Updates” on its next few agendas, so anyone else with ideas can come forward. With a commitment of more than $350,000 for playground improvements from an anonymous group of donors, the board set began collecting community feedback on how best to spend it. McChandless said he advocates for a complete redesign over a “repair and replace” strategy because a new layout could maximize play area space. He said it’s a given that major changes would be required to get the facility in line with ADA laws, so it might be more efficient to completely overhaul it. His rendering calls for the basketball courts to be moved closer to Draper Avenue, and be fenced-in to prevent errant balls. Then the big open space in the middle of the playground could be re-designed for a play area for younger children right next to a play area for older children. Seating and shading could be incorporated, to separate the areas. “Since our last meeting, (board member Mary Coakley Munk and I) have had multiple conversations with the City. When we met with vendors to get cost estimates, we learned we might lose usable space by keeping it the way it is but bringing it up to ADA-compliance,” McChandless said. Further, he said in the course of structures being removed, tractors and equipment would likely damage the basketball courts, and they, too, would need to be replaced. However, not everyone favored the reconfiguration idea, noting it could be

more expensive (costs have yet to be determined) and that moving the basketball courts might not be feasible because it’s unknown if there is City infrastructure underneath. Additionally, the move would mean parents walking their children through the basketball area and potential conflicts with existing events. Parent Hilary Daly, who said she has been bringing her children to the Rec Center since they were babies, was “skeptical” about the new layout. “Most parking is done by parents on Draper Avenue because there is more of it and easy access to get kids out of the car, through the gate and onto the playground. With the change, they would have to walk through the courts. My kids are 11 and 12 now, but when they were little, the basketball games were overwhelming for them.” However, a brief discussion about the basketball courts led to the discovery that the toddlers who might be intimidated by them are typically at the Rec Center in the mornings and early afternoons, while basketball games take place in the late afternoon or evenings. It was then suggested that one of the two courts be removed to use the space for something else. Park & Rec board member Lizzet FitzCluster said the land-use rearrangement could create a conflict with the Rec Center’s three big community events — the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla Pancake Breakfast, the Easter Egg Hunt and Halloween Party. Coakley-Munk countered that the basketball courts could be used as open space for set-up, chairs or whatever other staging is needed for these events. Given there is no timeline for the playground project, the board agreed to continue the discussion and encouraged anyone else with ideas to come forward at its monthly meetings: 5 p.m. fourth Wednesdays at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. (The next is Feb. 22.) Board member Carolyn Parrish noted, “Let’s get other ideas and more definitive before we vote.”

Prostate Center of San Diego opens in La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN To bring new options to the realm of prostate cancer, The Prostate Center of San Diego has opened in La Jolla, offering an alternative treatment not used for prostate cancer anywhere else in the United States. The facility is located at 4120 La Jolla Village Drive, within the Outpatient Surgical Center of La Jolla. The Center — with local physicians Dr. Ross Schwartzberg and Dr. James Cooper — uses a procedure known as irreversible electroporation (IRE) or NanoKnife, which was adapted for the treatment of prostate cancer by Dr. Michael Stehling of the Prostata Center in Offenbach, Germany. “IRE is not offered anywhere in San Diego for prostate cancer. It is used in the United States, usually at the larger cancer centers, but it’s mostly being used for other solid organs such as the kidneys or liver or pancreas,” said Cooper. “But it’s not being used for prostate cancer anywhere that I’m aware of.” Schwartzberg and Cooper are radiologists with expertise in prostate imaging that have successfully performed thousands of diagnostic and therapeutic image-guided procedures. The two became credentialed to be able to do the IRE procedure last fall. “The system uses a minimum of two electrodes that create a small electric field in the gland. It surrounds the cancer cell and we turn on the probe to create and electric field that actually changes the membrane potential of the cell and kills it, but just that cell,” Cooper said. “The kill-zone is just that area and maybe a few millimeters around it, but that’s it. The collateral damage of surrounding structures — most importantly the nerves and vessels — is minimal to zero, depending on where the cancer is. If it is right in the middle of the gland, there is almost no side effect, if it is closer to the edge where the nerves are, the risk gets a little higher, but nowhere near as high as other therapies.” According to press material, this results in far fewer side

effects and a much faster recovery time. In most cases, patients are back on their feet the next day. “Prostate cancer is a little different than other cancers because, fortunately, it tends to be more benign than not. The big challenge is finding the ones that are going to be a risk to the patient. More often than not, a patient will die with the cancer (from old age or something else) than from the cancer,” Copper said. He explained when diagnosing the cancer, physicians assign the cancer a number, known as the Gleason Score, from 2-10. With 2 being benign and 10 being the worst. “Most people now think 6 or below either doesn’t need to be treated or can be watched,” he said. So when it comes to treatment, conventionally used therapies can be seen as extreme. “For decades, available treatments have been to do nothing, a complete removal of the prostate gland — which has significant side effects, mostly impotence and urinary incompetence in significant percentages — or whole gland radiation.” These options reportedly involve a very high risk of side effects, with impotence rates as high as 70 percent, as well as a high incidence of urinary incontinence. Faced with these risks, many patients choose to forego treatment and instead take a “wait-and-see” approach, in which they and their

The Prostate Center of San Diego is at 4120 La Jolla Village Drive, within the Outpatient Surgical Center of La Jolla. physicians watch for signs of tumor progression before taking any treatment action. “We believe that patients shouldn’t have to choose between actively fighting their cancer and giving up on their current quality of life,” said Stehling. “With IRE, we are able to offer them the best of both worlds: an effective, proactive treatment option that also lets them get on with their normal, daily lives as soon as possible.” Stehling recently presented an analysis of clinical data from over 380 patients treated over a five-year period at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, the world’s largest radiology conference. He reported that the new image-guided procedure had a 100 percent success rate in treating the local cancer, which means that each tumor treated was effectively destroyed. Cooper said, “We’re happy to be collaborating with Dr. Stehling because this is such a common disease, diagnosed daily on a national scale. So now we have the equipment and are ready to go, we are just getting the ball rolling.” — Learn more at (866) 833-8262 or prostatecentersd.com

Safdie Rabines to return as Cove Pavilion project consultants Construction on new restrooms for Scripps Park slated for 2018

BY ASHLEY MACKIN To keep the La Jolla Cove Pavilion (restroom facility) project on track and completed in accordance with community wishes, La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory group voted to bring architects Taal Safdie and Ricardo Rabines of firm Safdie Rabines on board as advisers. The discussion took place during the board’s Jan. 23 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. LJP&B member Judy Adams Halter, who spearheaded the pavilion project, said, “Safdie Rabines has agreed to work with us in a consultant role. With their help, we’ll

have a much better looking facility. … This is such a wonderful park that we want to leave it in the best hands.” The pavilion plan was introduced in January 2014 and proposed as a public-private partnership. The current, 50-year-old facility has 10 toilets in single-sex restrooms and one unisex facility, and the new restroom pavilion is proposed to have more (approximately 17) toilets, predominantly in unisex stalls. The facility will also feature benches, outdoor showers, ADA-compliant toilets and showers, and storage for beach equipment. In November 2014, the San Diego Regional Park Improvement Fund committee voted to pay for the entire construction process. When the restroom facility was planned as a public-private partnership, Halter raised funds and contracted for Safdie Rabines to

create the schematic designs. These were presented to the community and LJP&B multiple times in 2014 and 2015 to gather feedback before handing the plans over to the City for implementation. However, an opinion from the San Diego City Attorney rendered in 2016 states it would be a conflict of interest for any firm that designs a project to bid to execute its construction, so the City contracted Mosher Drew to finish the project. In November 2016, City project managers and architects from Mosher Drew presented their schematic designs, but LJP&B was less than impressed. At the time, Mosher Drew architect Bill Magnuson said changes included the orientation of the facility in the park, the amount of space dedicated to trash facilities, the removal and replacement of the surrounding trees,

materials that would be used and aesthetic elements. City Project Manager Elizabeth Schroth-Nichols said input from Safdie Rabines — and the feedback received from the community meetings — was considered in the design. At the most recent meeting, LJP&B chair Dan Allen said, “We were all very excited about Safdie Rabines’ original design and concept, and what was presented to us (from Mosher Drew) didn’t quite match up with that. Going back to the Safdie Rabines design, with the permission of the current architects, will spiff it back up to the caliber of what we saw in the first designs.” LJP&B member Debbie Beachum opined, “We had all this public input on the Safdie Rabines design and then the City pulled the rug out from under them (with the ruling the architects could not finish the project).”

LA JOLLA LIGHT - FEBRUARY 9, 2017 - PAGE A15

At the January meeting, Halter told the board, “We’re not happy with the way it looks and how it was presented” and that a meeting with representatives from Mosher Drew, Safdie Rabines and LJP&B was scheduled “to talk about what they can come up with” to bring the design back in line with what the community approved. “They are going to try and create an aesthetic of lightness, airiness and blending-in with Scripps Park, which was the original thinking.” LJP&B member Sally Miller emphasized, “It’s so important that this ends up not being ugly ... something we have to stare at for the next 50 years, smacking our foreheads for the way it turned out. There are so many things you see around town that are concrete (which is what Mosher Drew presented), but beautified in some simple, maintenance-free way, that can be easily done.” Confident that the construction schedule would not be interrupted, the board unanimously authorized an agreement with Safdie Rabines for their consulting services on aesthetics. City project managers said they would like to begin construction “at some point in 2018.” Following the meeting with the newly approved consultants, updated plans would be presented.

In other LJP&B news ■ Donations policy: Following at least one request for a donation refund, LJP&B decided to refine its policy on charitable gifts. According to its bylaws, the board may raise funds for park-and-beach-related projects.

“We had a donor to the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project (which, following private fundraising, was taken over and will now be funded by the City) who wanted his money back,” Allen said. “Not to mention the fact that when a project is done, it won’t be down to the last nickel of what was given for it, so there might be excess. With the questions that have come up, we decided to draft a policy on charitable contributions.” A draft was circulated and it was tentatively posed that should a project not come to fruition, or if there are funds leftover once a project is complete, the remaining money would go to the LJP&B general fund to be used for other projects (aka an unrestricted gift). Halter, who assisted with writing the new policy, said, “A donation would be earmarked for a certain project, but the donor would have to realize that something might happen to that project along the way, so if they care about the parks and beaches of La Jolla, there are so many other projects their donation could fund.” However, some members questioned whether that would deter potential donors. “When you have major donors who can give for a specific project (something they are specifically interested in) and are told, ‘but we might use it for our general fund,’ that donor is not going to go for that. You might get donations of $1,000, but I don’t see you getting the big checks with that kind of a policy. When we raise money and solicit donors, they picture something concrete and in their minds, they see it as a legacy they can leave in La Jolla. When that changes, the person’s frame of mind might

Environmental, the natural resources management firm that has carried out other re-vegetation projects, will “plant-test” four different types of ground cover in bare areas within Whale View Point to see what takes root and works. LJP&B member Patrick Ahern added, “The benefit here is, once we find plants that work in this setting, we can plant them all up and down Whale View Point, at Scripps Park and WindanSea. We can take out ice plant and other plants that are not indigenous.” ■ Bylaws in limbo: After meetings in 2015 and 2016 dedicated to revising its bylaws, LJP&B submitted its draft bylaws to the City of San Diego for approval in August 2016. However, the board has yet to hear back, leading Allen to joke, “The City (department we are working with) intended to approve them by the end of the year, but they didn’t say which year, so we are stuck in limbo between our old bylaws and our new bylaws.” — La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meets 4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 27 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

change. It’s going to be a hard sell,” said Mary Ellen Morgan. An idea offered was to have any donation under $1,000 automatically be considered unrestricted (going into the general fund if it could not be used for a designated project). Anything over that, the donor would be given the choice to have it be unrestricted or restricted (refunded or redistributed), and proceed from there. After some discussion, the board opted to clarify the policy, and present it for vote at a future meeting. ■ Whale View Point: LJP&B member Bob Evans, representing the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project committee, said he would like to plant some “experimental” ground cover as part of the re-vegetation component. “There is the thought that what is already there (known as pickle-weed) can contribute to erosion, so we want to add something drought-resistant that is more indigenous so it will look better, work better, deter erosion and keep the plants we re-planted in place,” he said. A plot near 300 Coast Blvd., the Wedding Bowl and some hillside areas in between have already been re-vegetated. Black Sage

Topic to be Discussed

It’s time to take a hard look in the mirror

Long-Term Care Is The #1 Financial Risk Faced by Retirees

When it comes to accepting the need for extended care down the road, many are in denial. “It won’t happen to me” is not a plan Approximately 70% of people over age 65 will need extended care at some point in their lives, whether in their own home, an adult care outpatient center, inpatient and/or nursing home.

The Dangers of Denial No-one wants to face the possibility of it happening to them. • Emotional & Physical damage to the family caused by this is real and irreversible • Providing care to a chronically ill person makes the healthy care-giver resentful and chronically ill as well • At least one child must put aside their life to care for you, the parent. Especially if your son or daughter feels their parent is no longer safe New & Improved Extended Long-Term Care

These are NOT “use it or LOSE it plans” If You Ever Decide the Plan No Longer Fits Your Needs, You Can Receive a Full Return of the Premiums (less any distributions)

Déjà Vu Audio West now open on Herschel Ave. BY DAVID L. CODDON Few are the places of business where you want to linger. Fewer still are those where you’d like to kick back, close your eyes and just luxuriate. But the new Déjà Vu Audio West on Herschel Avenue is one of them. Josh Turney’s 2,000-square-foot audio boutique, which opened this past December, sells high-end audio equipment and systems, but when you walk in you’ll feel like you’re in somebody’s state-of-the-art living room, and it’s wired for sound. The store is composed of four spacious, contemporarily furnished listening rooms, each adorned with artwork and equipped with music to hear — generally jazz at its purest sounding — and Déjà Vu Audio West’s sophisticated components on which to hear it. Turney, who owns Déjà Vu Audio West and runs it with his fiancée, business partner and cofounder of Deja Vu, Victoria Vulaj, will tell you “Music is my life.” Turney, who himself plays tenor sax, means it, too. “There’s nobody more serious about music than I. I know how important it is to our history and to our spirit.” Unfortunately, said Turney, “Mainstream sound doesn’t (let music) sound the way it does in a club or in a live performance. We sell the technology that makes music sound

of sound that is possible.” If a customer takes a shine to a certain sound system, Turney makes sure that the person listens to it in his/her home before buying it. He’ll even do the setting up for them. “We help customers tune their room and hear music the way it’s meant to be heard,” he said. According to Turney, a good, basic

beginning investment of such high-end equipment would be around $5,000. “I recommend you start with baby steps, acclimate your ear a little at a time. You can’t just get right into a Ferrari 458 if you’ve never driven a car.” Of course you can spend a lot more than $5,000, and some customers do. “My hardcore clientele,” Turney explained, is “the ‘Woodstock generation.’ They’re in their prime earning years now and have the money to sink into this.” Though they may be of the Woodstock generation, most audiophiles, he added, tend toward jazz and classical music. Turney’s store has only been open a couple of months, but already he’s looking ahead with ambitious plans: stocking both vinyl and headphones; and hosting live music nights, listening parties and music education events. “I want within a year,” he said, “to be known as the place to go if you’re a music lover.” ■ Déjà Vu Audio West, 7855 Herschel Ave., Suite 100, La Jolla.

La Jolla Music Society president and artistic director Kristin Lancino emcees the event. FROM THE CONRAD, A1 Prebys Performing Arts Center, aka The Conrad. Prebys gave $15 million for the center’s construction before his passing in July 2016. La Jolla Music Society (LJMS) broke ground on what will be its new permanent home at 7600 Fay Ave. on Feb. 1. The $76 million, 49,000-square-foot performing arts center is set to open in January 2019 and will feature a 500-seat concert hall, to be known as the Baker-Baum Concert Hall; a 140-seat flexible performance space, to be known as The JAI; new LJMS offices; rehearsal rooms; and a large open courtyard. LJMS’s former home, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, is being torn down for a major renovation to quadruple its gallery space. Kristin Lancino, LJMS president and artistic director, opened the groundbreaking ceremony, “The Conrad promises to be inviting to all San Diegans and international artists alike. It will be the proud home to La Jolla Music Society as well as a home to local organizations, traveling artists and those who wish to use the facility. It’s a once-in-a-generation addition to San Diego and I believe to this country.” “I can’t wait to come back in 2019,” added San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer. “This is going to be a phenomenally impactful, powerful addition, not just to our city but to our state and indeed to the country. Today is a great day for arts and culture, and that commitment to arts and culture is part of what defines us as a city.” In the concert seasons before the facility opens, LJMS performances will continue at the La Jolla Presbyterian Church, UC San Diego and venues in downtown San Diego, among other locations. The Conrad is funded through private donations, and LJMS board chair Katherine Chapin recognized major donors at the groundbreaking: Joan and Irwin Jacobs (for whom The JAI is named); Brenda Baker and Steve Baum (for whom the Baker-Baum Concert Hall is named); Rita and Richard Atkinson; Raffaella and John Belanich; the Beyster Family; Silvija and Brian Devine; Joy Frieman; Peggy and Peter Preuss; Gary and Jean Shekhter; and Clara Wu and Joseph Tsai. She also thanked current and past LJMS board members. After a yearlong search, Massachusettes-based Epstein Joslin Architects, Inc. was selected as the firm to design the facility. Yasuhisa Toyota, president of Nagata Acoustics America was also chosen to handle the acoustics

An artist’s rendering of The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center, aka The Conrad, located at 7600 Fay Ave. following the company’s work on concert venues such as Walt Disney Concert Hall, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall and Kyoto Concert Hall in Japan. Alan Joslin, architect with Epstein Joslin, described the firm’s vision for the site. On the north end of the site, for example, the Baker-Baum Concert Hall will feature, “A wood nest floating within a mysterious light … (atop) a remarkably intimate space that wraps both the performer and the audience in a cocoon of warm wood and rich sound, from which subtleties of performers’ expressions and audience rapture will be experienced with both eyes and ears,” he said.

On the south end, The JAI will provide “a hip and lively setting” that will “allow for experimentation and youthful creativity that will captivate audiences,” Joslin said. But as for the celebration at hand, “As we embark on this venture, especially today, we have to remind ourselves the building is far more than brick and mortar, more than color choices and city permits, this building is an embodiment of a dream, values and aspirations of La Jolla Music Society ,” he said. “(It will be) a home for your community, a place to celebrate freedom of artistic creativity, inspiration of those aspiring to the highest level of human expression, the education of culture to

OUR READERS WRITE ‘David and Goliath’ battle in DecoBikes So here we are in a David and Goliath battle over the cursed Decobikes. But we have a much more powerful weapon than David’s sling shot. It’s the telephone. I’m friends with several local, state and federal elected officials. Every one of them has told me that e-mails and letters are fine, but a phone call truly gets their attention. If they’re not available for a chat in person, their assistant is mandated to take your name and reason for calling and pass it along to the boss. In case you you doubt the power of the phone, last week, Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska got over 30,000 calls opposing Betty DeVos as Trump’s Education Secretary cabinet pick. “It was overwhelming”, she said, “We have never seen this level of calls.” Murkowski valued her people over her party. “I do not intend to vote on final passage to support Mrs. DeVos.” David 1. Goliath 0. Early this morning, I called City Council member Barbara Bry’s office. She’d not yet arrived. Instead, an aide named Bridger (Langfur) listened to my plea for Barbara to make a stand at City Council. He could not have been nicer or more caring. He asked me some questions about my opposition to DecoBikes and promised Barbara would know of my call. You should absolutely call Barbara. It’s easier and faster than an e-mail and it’s “un-ignorable.” Give your friends her number and urge them to take action with a 30-second call. Her office number is (619) 236-6611. You’ll have a nice experience which will truly impact the vastly unpopular DecoBikes in our precious village. And you’ll feel proud that you did something for La Jolla. Jerry Cesak

An open letter to Barbara Bry on DecoBike I read with interest the Feb. 2 La Jolla Light article on “Call to Action issued in DecoBike fight.” Unfortunately, I missed this meeting, but I wanted to share a similar experience and a suggestion. According to the article, City Council member Barbara Bry e-mailed the Light stating, “Before any plans for a future site move forward, I will work to ensure that the City listens to the citizens of District 1 ...” I think this is naive. In a related comment, Brian Curry says, “the City is not listening to us” and stressed the importance of writing to the Mayor as we have a “strong Mayor form of government”. I am sorry to say, our “strong Mayor” has a strong head. Many people and organizations mailed the Mayor about all the Crown Castle DAS cell towers being installed in a secret (Process 1) fashion all over La Jolla and Pacific Beach. He ignores e-mails and suggestions from City Council and he does what he wants. This is the unfortunate side of the strong Mayor. He does not listen to the constituency. As I have pointed out in a previous letter to the Light, if we want action, our only apparent recourse is to sue the City and the Mayor. They will be forced to at least listen to that, not that they will change. David N. Haney, Ph.D.

Unleashed dogs do not belong in public parks

Seals at Children’s Pool are here to stay

My family, including a 6-year-old son, spent a recent afternoon at Kate Sessions Park. On the south side of the park, many dogs were running freely, but I understood dogs must be leashed. The dog owners said the park is dog-friendly, but I understood dog-friendly parks to be enclosed and strictly designated. Maybe some investigation is in order, but it appears that the community of dog owners have unofficially hijacked this area now defining it as a dog park. My son has a healthy hesitation toward dogs and especially those that approach him without warning. These dogs today charged right up to our picnic area in search of food. I love dogs, but I still feel they should be leashed to ensure general public safety. Animals are after all, only animals and can be unpredictable. Most shocking of the visit to the park was that owners were lifting up their dogs to drink out of the human water fountain; slobbering, drooling canines licking the water out of the fountain. This truly disgusted me, not to mention is extremely unsanitary. One (dog owner) might argue that the dogs are in the area away from the playground and field that hosts numerous children’s sporting events, yet the common facilities are also in the south part of the park available to everyone, not just dog owners. This whole episode was inconsiderate and not in the spirit of community peaceful coexistence. S. Hagen

The Children’s Pool harbor seal crisis has been going on for quite a while. Either we move the seals out of the area or let them stay. In my opinion, I believe we should let them stay. They pose as no threat to humans and they have so little less land than we give ourselves. The seals most likely think of the pool as their home. If you think of how their perspective would be if we kicked them out of the area, it would be equivalent to being kicked out of your home. Also, seals come to the Children’s Pool to bathe, bask and give birth to their pups. I do not enjoy swimming there nor at The Cove. I swam at The Cove multiple times and do not like the cold water. The Children’s Pool is a great way for tourists to come see the extraordinary 360-degree views of La Jolla and visitors can witness the unique wildlife from only a short distance away. Let it be. Philippe Covington

Kudos for La Jolla’s Black Pioneers articles I recently read La Jolla Light’s Feb. 2 article in your “La Jolla’s Black Pioneers” story series. I liked it very much and look forward to reading the following editions. I mentioned the article to my 92-year-old father who arrived in La Jolla in 1949 at the age of 23. He lived and worked there for over 30 years. Dad mentioned he remembers an African-American man by the name of Frankie who had a shoe shine business around Eads Avenue and Prospect Street. Frankie spoke fluent Spanish and said he was an Afro-Mexican originally from Veracruz, Mexico. Dad says Frankie lived close to the corner of Pearl Street and Draper Avenue behind where the old Clean Craft laundry was. Just thought I’d throw this bit of trivia your way. Keep up the great work you’re doing. Jose A. Michel

La Jolla High School track and field are part of the community I was unhappy reading about the La Jolla High School principal’s reasoning for closing the track and field to the public. It appears that he is finding any excuse he can to close the facilities to the public who helped fund them. First, it was because taxpayer money wasn’t used to pay for the new facilities which is false. Now, the excuse is because people are leaving “alcohol bottles” on the field. Members of the community use the tennis courts, field and running track for exercise, not as a venue to consume alcohol. The idea that people jogging around the track are wearing out the track is also laughable. Fundraisers were publicized in the La Jolla Light for the community to come together to help pay to resurface the tennis courts. As soon as the money was raised and the work was done, the tennis courts were locked to the public. I know the school keeps claiming that the courts are open, but the chains and padlocks on the gates say otherwise. The high school now risks losing community support with these spurious claims.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Don’t kill the English language In England, their language is spoken correctly, but here in the United States, it has almost become a new tongue. An adult may listen to a group of teenagers at a beach party without understanding a word of the conversation. However, even editors, statesmen, reporters, journalists (and sometimes a president) break the rules of proper speech. Take for example, the use of prepositions. First of all, what are prepositions? A

preposition is used to modify verbs, nouns or adjectives. A preposition should not be used to end a sentence. There are 72 prepositions, but here are just a few: at, to, from, against, for, beneath, about, before, in, of, with, until and without. Below are some examples of wrong and right: 1. Who does this belong to? To whom does this belong? 2. Who are the Democrats plotting against? Against whom are the Democrats plotting? 3. What are we thinking of? Of what are we thinking?

If proper usage of prepositions is heard from an early age, it will sound normal to the ear. This will ensure the coming generations of Americans speak the English language properly. Imagine the year is 2030. Some of the teenagers on the beach are now professionals. The speaker at the podium is addressing a large audience. He will not say “This is the new medication which we are referring to.” He will say, “this is the new medication to which we are referring.” Patricia Weber La Jolla resident since 1953

Sometimes with my husband, sometimes with one of our grown daughters, and at other times, like my most recent trip, I journey alone, with my husband’s blessing. La Jolla is the place my soul re-emerged 23 years ago not long after a divorce that occurred when my daughter was a baby. I return to La Jolla to recharge my soul. I discovered this Village in California initially because the man I was dating, Steve (now my husband of 22 years), had safely settled me beside La Jolla Cove while he drove off to a two-hour business meeting. Sitting at The Cove, free from toddler duties, work deadlines and caretaking my suburban home by myself, I re-discovered my heart. I watched the ocean slap against the cliffs, studied chipmunks comically darting in and out of the soft, mossy terrain and felt the sun sooth my winter-pale Boston skin that March day. I hadn’t felt that alive and at peace for nearly three difficult years. I instantly fell in love with La Jolla. And Steve. Ever since that hot day at The Cove, the boundaries have

RESEARCH REPORT

MADELINE MCCURRY-SCHMIDT

TSRI assistant professor Surpriya Srinivasan and research associate Lavinia Palamiuc led the study identifying a brain hormone that triggers fat burning in the gut.

Scripps scientists identify hormone that triggers fat burning The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) biologists have identified a brain hormone that appears to trigger fat burning in the gut. Their findings in animal models could have implications for pharmaceutical development. “This was basic science that unlocked an interesting mystery,” said TSRI assistant professor Supriya Srinivasan, senior author of the study, published last week in the journal Nature Communications. Previous studies had shown that the neurotransmitter serotonin can drive fat loss. Yet no one was sure exactly how. To answer that question, Srinivasan and colleagues experimented with roundworms called C. elegans, often used as model organisms in biology. They deleted genes in C. elegans to see if they could interrupt the path between brain serotonin and fat burning. By testing one gene after another, they hoped to find the gene without which fat burning wouldn’t occur. This process of elimination led them to a gene that codes for a neuropeptide hormone they named FLP-7 (“flip 7”). Interestingly, they found that the mammalian version (Tachykinin) was identified 80 years ago as a peptide that triggered muscle contractions when dribbled on pig intestines. The TSRI work revealed that FLP-7 was indeed secreted from neurons in the brain in response to elevated serotonin levels. FLP-7 then traveled through the circulatory system to start the fat burning process in the gut. Srinivasan said this finding could encourage future studies into how FLP-7 levels could be regulated without causing the side effects often experienced when manipulating overall serotonin levels.

UCSD researchers find possible treatment for peripheral neuropathy

Amore Italian Style!

Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine (with colleagues at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the University of Manitoba and St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre in Canada) have identified a molecular signaling pathway that, when blocked, promotes sensory neuron growth and prevents or reverses peripheral neuropathy in cell and rodent models of type 1 and 2 diabetes,

chemotherapy-induced neuropathy and HIV. The findings are published in the Jan. 17 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition resulting from damage to the peripheral nervous system — the vast communications network that transmits information between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. Symptoms range from numbness, tingling and muscle weakness to severe pain, paralysis and organ dysfunction. An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of peripheral neuropathy, which can be a symptom of many diseases, including diabetes and HIV, or a side effect of chemotherapies.

Too much sitting may accelerate aging Researchers at UCSD School of Medicine report that elderly women who sit for more than 10 hours a day with low physical activity have cells that are biologically older by eight years compared to women who are less sedentary. The study, published online Jan. 18 in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found elderly women with less than 40 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day have shorter telomeres — tiny caps found on the ends of DNA strands, like the plastic tips of shoelaces, that protect chromosomes from deterioration and progressively shorten with age. As a cell ages, its telomeres naturally shorten and fray, but health and lifestyle factors, such as obesity and smoking, may accelerate that process. Shortened telomeres are associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and major cancers. “Our study found cells age faster with a sedentary lifestyle. Chronological age doesn’t always match biological age,” said Aladdin Shadyab, Ph.D., lead author of the study with the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health. Shadyab and his research team believe they are the first to objectively measure how the combination of sedentary time and exercise can impact the aging biomarker. Nearly 1,500 women, ages 64-95, participated in the study. The women are part of the larger Women’s Health Initiative, a national, longitudinal study investigating the determinants of chronic diseases in postmenopausal women. The participants completed questionnaires and wore an accelerometer on their right hip for seven consecutive days during waking and sleeping hours to track their movements.

ASHLEY MACKIN

A rendering of the proposed Elkins Residence project

COURTESY

La Jolla Community Planning Association trustees Bob Steck, Patrick Ahern, Glen Rasmussen and John Shannon, hear about the Elkins Residence project.

Planners hear Elkins Residence project after ‘tremendous public feedback’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN There was a surprisingly large turnout at the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meeting Feb. 2 at La Jolla Rec Center to hear updates and voice objection to the Elkins Residence project, up for full review on the evening’s agenda. After more than an hour-and-a-half of discussion and arguments from all sides, the board ultimately voted to support the project. The development received unanimous approval in recent months from the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC), a LJCPA sub-committee, and La Jolla Shores Advisory Board, yet LJCPA chair Cindy Greatrex said there was “tremendous public feedback on this project” in the form of “a volume of letters and calls” that is “more than I’ve seen in my tenure.” The Elkins Residence project at 8260 Paseo Del Ocaso calls for a Coastal Development Permit and Site Development Permit to demolish an existing 1,877-square-foot

residential single dwelling unit and construct a new 4,981-square-foot two-story single family residence (the project was revised to reduce the overall size from its orginal 5,377 square feet). The project includes a two-car garage, basement, roof deck and outdoor enhancements including patios, a pool, spa and associated landscaping. The site is 7,866 square feet. Project architect Tim Golba said since its most recent reviews, “We are aware of and had some communication with some of the

neighbors that have garnered recent interest in the project, but we didn’t have any attendance (of the opposing neighbors) at the two previous meetings where this was presented,” and that he volunteered to give a full, in-depth presentation to illuminate residents in attendance and the LJCPA board. At issue is whether: the house is too large for the neighborhood, it could later be used as a short-term vacation rental (which is out of LJCPA purview) and the noticing was done properly. One neighbor added the orientation of the house as a potential problem. Opponents to the project requested the development be tabled so both parties could meet and attempt to resolve their issues. “We were approached by (land use attorney) Julie Hamilton, representing a southern neighbor, who put some lofty revisions for us to consider,” Golba said. “We had just less than a week to explore these revisions … and some were finished just this afternoon.”

Addressing each of the overarching concerns, and adjustments made to resolve them, he presented the originally approved plans and a set of revised plans. First, Golba said the overall size of the house has been reduced from 5,377 square feet to 4,981 square feet; however, he noted the lot is 50 percent larger than several others on the block, and therefore the house would still be larger than some of its neighbors. He added, “We tried to mitigate the massing by breaking up the visage with multiple materials, multiple colors, horizontal siding, shade siding, etc.” According to Hamilton, the house immediately south is on the same size lot and is just under 1,400 square feet. “The issue is that this house is significantly larger than any other house on the block,” she said.

Claudine Kalliopi Yin

September 21, 1936 - January 23, 2017 La JoLLa — Claudine Kalliopi Yin, 80, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, January 23, 2017. Claudine was born to parents Dimitri and anthie Efthymiou (née Kiakides) on September 21, 1936, in Paris, France. Her parents had fled from Turkish persecution in Greece. She grew up as the secondborn of five children and as a result of her persistence and excellence as a student, earned a Fulbright Scholarship that landed her at Kalamazoo College, MI, in 1957. It was here that she met Robert Yin, a young man from Shanghai, China, on scholarship at Western Michigan University from a family that had fled the instability of post-World War II China.

They married in Manila, Philippines in 1963, where their first son, Bernard, was born. There Claudine worked at the WHo, Belgian Embassy and alliance Française. In 1967, work brought the family to Concord, Ca. She then gave birth to their second son,

Dimitri. She completed a master’s program in French literature at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1978 the family moved to La Jolla, Ca. She went on to teach French at Grossmont College, San Diego State University, San Diego City College and locally, tutored at The Bishop’s School. Energized conversations about the etymology of a French or Greek word were often accompanied by her world-class salads made with home-grown lettuce or with homemade yogurt. She enjoyed travel, and back home, she loved to garden and remained active in local French and Greek events and communities. She was passionate about minimizing waste and regularly recycled as well

as maintained a compost system for the garden. Her story is a moving testament to the american Dream in its truest form and she will be missed by many. Claudine is survived by her husband, Robert Yin; her sons, Bernard (Rebecca) and Dimitri; and siblings Christiane Nicolaides, Pericles Efthymiou, and Danielle Efthymiou. a funeral service will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2017, beginning 11am, at St. James By-The-Sea Episcopal Church , 743 Prospect Street, La Jolla, Ca 92037. all who knew and love her are welcome.

integrative holistic medicine. “My colleagues and I know how factors such as estrogen imbalances, pregnancy, autoimmune conditions and migraine headaches can greatly affect women’s hearts.” Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, killing more than 280,000 women in 2013, according to the latest figures from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Yet only 54 percent of women are aware of that fact. That’s partly because some heart attack symptoms experienced by women — shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, and back or jaw pain — can differ from those experienced by men and can be easily mistaken for other ailments. For many women, heart disease is a silent threat that goes undiagnosed until symptoms of a sudden heart attack, heart failure or stroke surface. To celebrate the launch, all four of the center’s cardiologists will be featured at Women’s Heart Health Expo 2017, a free event from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Feb. 11, at the Schaetzel Center at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, 9888 Genesee Ave. The event will include physician and patient presentations, exhibit booths with information about women’s health programs and services, a healthy continental breakfast, and a chance to meet the doctors.

It pays to shop for better interest.

At the Feb. 2 La Jolla Community Planning Association meeting, about half of the attendees are present to hear about the Elkins Residence project in La Jolla Shores. FROM PLANNERS, A29 would “significantly impact the neighborhood” and insisted “it is going to be difficult to maintain the community feel with a house so much larger opposite us.” Further, whether the house meets the La Jolla design guidelines, specifically ones that address transition between old development and new, was questioned. Although out of LJCPA purview, a brief discussion as to whether the six-bedroom house could later be used as a short-term vacation rental took place. Hoping to ease concerns, homeowner Penny Elkins spoke. “A while ago, we had to decide whether to go back to Wyoming where I’m from or stay here, that’s where my husband has lived since 1976. … (We decided to stay and) this is where we are going to live, this is where I want my family to come (a few family members have health issues) and live. It will be a family place for us. We hope to be in the neighborhood for the next 30 years. We have a great sense of community here.” Golba added the Elkins have 12 siblings between them, and that space for visitors is a necessity. Lastly, as to whether neighbors were thoroughly notified, Golba said in accordance with City procedures, notices went out to houses within 300 feet of the subject property in early 2016. “If the residents didn’t read it or pay attention, we can’t help that,” he said. Countered Hamilton, “My client has never dealt with this process before, he didn’t know there were boards like Permit Review Committee … so he knows there was notice, and he knows now this is one of those things when you get a ‘Notice of Pending Application’ in January 2016, you need to track it if you care what’s going on. He was of the misunderstanding that the property owners would come to him and say ‘this is what we’re doing, what do you think?’ That’s why they didn’t participate before now, they didn’t know.” For one resident, immediately to the south, the house orientation was a key issue. The house would be built in a L-shape, with the outdoor courtyard facing south so there is light, fresh air and a view. Should the house face the north, there would only be a view of the neighboring house and some vegetation. Nevertheless, the southern neighbor requested the house be re-oriented to face the north, to ensure privacy and block noise. However, Golba said he was not willing to reconfigure the house. It was one

of few suggested revisions the architect would not accommodate. Acknowledging the opponents had not seen the revised plans before the LJCPA meeting, Hamilton said “We would like to have some time to review this and meet with Mr. Golba, these revisions might address enough of our concerns, but there is still a lot we don’t know. It looks like we could be close to an agreement, but I would like to have time to meet … so we don’t have to continue to oppose this project. We wouldn’t be in this position if anyone had contacted their neighbors before this to discuss the design.” Golba was not willing to table the vote, given the project has already been in development for 15 months. When it came for LJCPA trustees to weigh in, the room was split as to whose request to oblige. LJCPA trustee Mike Costello said liked the designed, but is “troubled” by the lack of transition. “I would like to see Mr. Golba work with the neighbors … because they are the community. You don’t just build for the future, you build for the present and the past,” he said. Dolores Donovan said she voted for the project when it came before La Jolla Shores Advisory Board, but noted it was when there was no opposition. “Had there been opposition, I might not have supported it, I certainly would have continued it,” the LJCPA trustee said. “Now, to hold to my principles … I am going to suggest waiting.” Janie Emerson, who is on the PRC, added, “One of the first things we always ask is, ‘have the neighbors been notified’ and ‘have you talked to the neighbors’ and my vote would have been different if I had known there was opposition from the neighbors.” Alternatively, trustee Ray Weiss offered, “My father once told me that ignorance of the law is no excuse. I’m bothered by the fact that there is so much opposition from people, many of whom must have received the City’s notice about the plans. Citizens have a responsibility to look into those things if they care about their neighborhood.” A motion to have the project return in March to allow both parties to negotiate failed, 7-9-1. A counter motion to ratify the findings of PRC in favor of the project, based on the most recent plans presented to LJPCA, passed 11-5-1. — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, March 2 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

A Treasure Trove Adventure

UCSD students are finalists in Disney design contest BY ASHLEY MACKIN etting one step closer to fulfilling lifelong dreams of one day working for The Walt Disney Company, four UC San Diego engineering students became finalists in the 26th annual Walt Disney Imagineering Imaginations Design Competition. Out of more than 330 submitted projects, the UCSD team — Emeline Lee, Allison Masikip, Julia Soderstjerna and Terence Tien — were in the top six for their project, “Pacific Trove.” According to press material, the challenge is to apply the same design principles used in creating Disney’s theme parks, resorts and immersive experiences to develop new outdoor spaces within one’s own college or university that could address the diverse needs of students, faculty and visitors while also providing a respite from the stresses of everyday life. The projects and concepts presented are not necessarily intended to be built by Disney — they are a way for the entrants to demonstrate their skills and creative abilities as the theme park designers of the future. The six finalist teams received an all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale last week, where they presented their projects to Imagineering executives and competed for monetary awards. The UCSD team did not place beyond the finalist level. The winning team hailed from Iowa State University and SEE DISNEY CONTEST, B4

How did you come to live in La Jolla?

“I moved to San Diego in 1974 to go to law school. I finished in 1976 and I was about to take the Bar Exam when I got an offer to go on a cruise ship performing magic. I was 23 so I decided to take the cruise. For 30 years I pursued a career as a full-time a Jolla resident Scott Farr can often be magician. I traveled all over the world.

What was your best trick?

“I did mostly comedy, a lot of interaction with the audience, but in some countries where people didn’t speak English, I would turn on the music and use birds and rabbits – fun stuff. I moved around a lot, I would always bring people up on stage, I wouldn’t make them look like a fool or goofy, they would help out with tricks. I did a lot of improv comedy based on things that they said and things that they do and the people’s interaction with that.” SEE SCOTT FARR, B18

LA JOLLA LIGHT - FEBRUARY 9, 2017 - PAGE B3

We shouldn’t have done it

La Jolla Cultural Partners

just want to say, there were extenuating circumstances. And if you’re an art collector, please read no further. When my first husband, a physician, finished his two-year commitment to the Navy and opened his private practice, we were really short of money. We’d bought our home on a 100 percent VA loan, even borrowing the closing costs. My husband had paid his own way through college and medical school, and would pay off medical school loans until he was 48. So there wasn’t a lot of money for art. In fact, none at all. The few inexpensive prints we owned were now hanging in his new office leaving the walls of our house totally bare. A favorite low-cost date for us in the mid-1970s was to go to an opening at one of the small galleries in La Jolla. It was fun to drink some wine and look at the art, chatting it up with some of the other cheapskates who were there for the same reasons that we were. At one of these openings, my ex and I stood pondering a 3’x4’ oil depicting a daisy petal. It was basically an off-center yellow blob on a white background with assorted black and white petals disappearing into the frame. It cost $1,500, a chunk of money at the time. Now, both of us, to our admitted detriment,

had failed to ever take an art history class so we often struggled to understand why a particular work was considered “art” as opposed to a cruel psychology experiment to see who would be duped into thinking this utterly minimalist work (in our uneducated view) was worth that kind of money. My husband suddenly had an idea. “I think I could duplicate this,” he whispered. Even we weren’t so gauche as to whip out a pencil and sketch it on the spot. But we were not so gauche as to come creeping back a few nights later after dark when the gallery was closed, press our noses against the glass, and sketch away. The next day we stopped off at the art store on Cass Street and purchased a canvas, and some black and yellow oil paints. As my husband painted, I concluded that the composition lacked a certain pre-Raphaelite je ne sais quoi while he noted that the asymmetrical focal point emboldened the saturation of the petals creating a contemporary but evocative aesthetic with its own stylized drama. We may not have taken any art history classes, but we’d hung around at a fair number of art openings by that time. Forty-five minutes later, “The Daisy” (as

we unimaginatively entitled it) was hanging, still drying, in our guest room. It wasn’t as though we weren’t aware that this was technically art forgery, but we rationalized that we weren’t trying to sell it. We just wanted a little color. About a year later, we had invited some new friends to dinner, another physician and his wife, also just starting in private practice. We were giving them a tour of our little house and when we collectively walked into the guest room, their eyes were suddenly riveted on the daisy painting. “Where did you get that?” they wanted to know. And thus we regaled them with the story of seeing this painting at a gallery, deciding it was pathetically easy to copy, and wondering who in their right mind would pay $1,500 for the thing. As it turned out, they would. And did. I mean, seriously, what were the odds? Actually, much higher than you might think, given that we subsequently recalled that we had first met them at an opening of another gallery. It goes without saying that dinner was acutely awkward, and we never saw them again. While going through a photo album recently, I came across a picture of our guest room in 1977 with the daisy picture hanging over the bed. After the dinner guest fiasco, we knew we should take it down. But we hated to blow our $17 investment. Ultimately, however, our consciences prevailed and it ended up in an alley dumpster in the dead of night. Forty years later, I find myself wondering: Is the original of “The Daisy” now a classic

Is it revered for its uncompromising timeless boldly-organic vibrancy? Or is it all about the light? Are those folks who bought it now lending it out under armed guard to galleries the world over, basking in the prescience of purchasing a piece now worth $2 million? I’m hoping that the bona fide owners of the daisy painting have long since retired in Jackson Hole and will not see this column. But if they do: we’re sorry. We shouldn’t have done it. And I promise: we never did it again. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

FROM DISNEY CONTEST, B1 secured the victory with “Hourglass,” which uses the concept of an hourglass turned on its side to allow guests to pause time and find respite from everyday stresses. The crew was at the Disney Imagineering (a combination of imagination and engineering) campus the week of Jan. 23. “We got the opportunity to present our project several times. It was an amazing experience to get feedback and see people’s reactions to the work we did over the course of half-a-year. We got to interview for internships, and now we’re waiting to hear back, so fingers crossed!” joked Soderstjerna. “The entire week was amazing to see how things operate behind the scenes, and see the amazing minds that work at Disney and who were finalists in the contest. It was life-changing.” Tien added, “We didn’t place, but we won by being there and being finalists. It was the most incredible week.”

The lore of La Jolla

“Pacific Trove” was inspired by La Jolla. The team had to produce a story about the location, a video, renderings and models of their mock city. Here’s how their story goes (though it sadly does not begin with “Once upon a time”): “On the coast of California, an enchanted jewel was once rumored to reside in the seascape of La Jolla. Nicknamed ‘Jewel City’ by early Spanish settlers, La Jolla tells the tale of a magical power, that in which the city’s beautiful, natural wonders owed their existence. Over the years, the beautiful space drew a growing population. A college

The UCSD student-design team’s rendering of ‘Pacific Trove’ for the Walt Disney Imagineering contest campus and concrete buildings grew and the powers of the jewel dwindled. One moonless night, a student was snorkeling in the sea caves of La Jolla and found these shimmering teal jewel fragments embedded in the rocks. She brought some pieces back to commemorate her solo moment with nature, but lost them within the campus on the way back. The lost fragments reawakened a region on campus and the area grew into a space of rejuvenating splendor, bringing back the natural elements of La Jolla students, faculty and visitors love.” In this project, with the “powers of the famed jewel recently reawakened,” guests follow the numerous paths to “share an experience of rediscovering their relationship with nature, through walking

trails, tree slides and zip lines.” Tien said the local points of inspiration included Torrey Pines State Reserve and La Jolla Shores. “While conceiving the idea, we took trips around town because our idea revolved around natural elements of La Jolla, so we wanted to explore them thoroughly. We also read a lot and studied a lot on how Disney creates these spaces. It was an exploration of how these things are created and how we should go about them. We wanted to create a place of respite inspired by all the beautiful scenery we have near at UCSD.” Armed with visual inspiration and excitement at the opportunity, the team began work in summer 2016. “Most of us grew up watching Disney movies and going

COURTESY DISNEY

to Disneyland. Now that we’re older and this could be a career, we thought this would be a fun thing to do,” said Lee. “Plus, we are a bunch of Disney nerds.” As for who did what, Tien created the concept art and illustrations. Soderstjerna made the props for the presentation. Masikip crafted trinkets that glow to resemble the famed jewel and helped with the story development. Lee was charged with video direction and music selection. “It was great to work as a team outside of school,” Lee opined. “We had to learn public speaking and communication, so this project also gave us career skills. It was fantastic.” — Learn more about the contest at disneyimaginations.com

Billy Crystal talks comedy, Oscars, La Jolla Playhouse and (#$@*!) cellphones BY GEORGE VARGA Billy Crystal is surely not the only comedy legend who earned his first big laugh as an elementary school student, but he may be the only one who credits his initial success to being clumsy in the cafeteria line. “I had my food on my tray,” he recalled. “I tripped, by accident, and dropped the tray — and everybody laughed. The next day I came in and dropped it again! And here I am, 60 years later, still dropping trays.” What Crystal is not noted for dropping are f-bombs, whether it’s in his interviews, his books, his Broadway hit, “700 Sundays” (which got its start at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2004), or in his classic comedy movies, which include “When Harry Met Sally,” “City Slickers” and “Analyze This.” But the veteran star made a four-letter exception during a recent 30-minute phone conversation previewing his Feb. 16 solo show, “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal,” at Jacobs Music Center’s Copley Symphony Hall. His uncharacteristic expletive came during a discussion of cellphone use at concerts, plays and other live arts events. It’s an increasingly ubiquitous phenomenon that prompts the otherwise affable star to seethe with frustration and anger. “You have no idea how disconcerting and insulting it is that somebody is so short-minded as to be texting, or checking their messages, while you’re talking on stage,” Crystal said. “It’s awful, especially in theaters. “I was performing on Broadway and someone in the second row, a woman, was on her phone — constantly — as soon as I came out. I started playing the whole show to her, saying: ‘Get the (expletive) off of your phone!’ ” “Pardon me,” Crystal said to his interviewer, who required no apology for the justifiable epithet. “Then I could see her mouth go, to whomever she was talking to: ‘I have to go; he’s looking at me.’ ” Crystal let out a loud sigh of exasperation. “Men will put their phones in their shirt pockets, and it lights up and looks like E.T.,” he lamented. “And, on stage, you hear it ring and are interrupted by it. Using cellphones is one of the worst traits about audiences and it’s like it’s accepted now. “One of the things I hate about performing is the disrespect people have. So I hope people will be more responsible. We work very hard with the ushers in the theaters I perform in to make sure people don’t use their phones.” Why audience members pay good money for their tickets, only to rudely blather on phones or text and check emails during performances, remains a mystery. Not so, the solution, which has

less to do with policing by ushers than with common sense and respect from attendees. “It’s up to people to turn their phones off,” Crystal agreed. “This need they have to be in touch with (other) people all the time is really sad to me. I get it if you are a doctor who’s on call. But, otherwise, if you’re coming to a show, aren’t you coming to get away from all that?” Here are highlights from our far-ranging interview with Crystal, who discussed … The La Jolla Playhouse: “My experience in La Jolla was such a great one. When we workshopped ‘700 Sundays’ there in 2004 with Des MacAnuff, who would later direct the show, it was a turning point in my life. I think we did 14 or 15 shows there, and — five months later — we were on Broadway. It was so fast! And it was incredible to work with such talented people as the ones in La Jolla. It gave me the confidence to be funny and touching.” His “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal” tour: “We call it that because people feel like they are at the dinner table with me. It’s that personal to them, and that relaxed, and that’s what I love about it. I’m on my feet 90 percent of the time, telling stories and recollections, showing film clips. It’s a very fun night of re-living memories.” Drawing from current events in his show: “You know, I don’t do much of that, though it’s hard not to now. These other comics out there say something, and somebody boos or yells. There’s so much anger out there. I’ll talk about current events in a certain way, but it’s not my focus.

A Tribute to Harold Cohen

UC San Diego exhibits work of late computer-art pioneer LET’S REVIEW BY WILL BOWEN he late computer-based artist Harold Cohen, who taught at the UC San Diego Visual Arts Department for more than 26 years, liked to joke that he hoped his computer protégé, a painting machine he called AARON, would give an art show of new works in New York City after he died. Unfortunately, this may never occur

because after Cohen passed away in April 2016, AARON was unplugged and placed on exhibit in a computer museum in San Jose. However, as a tribute and a key feature of the UCSD Visual Arts Department’s year-long “50th Anniversary Celebration,” the works of Cohen and AARON will be on display at both the University Arts Gallery (UAG) in the Mandeville Center and at the Structural Materials and Engineering (SME) building art gallery until Feb. 17, in a show titled “Harold Cohen, Creating Computational Creativity.”

The UAG exhibit is a retrospective of Cohen’s life work with several of his overly large later paintings on view. The show at SME features some his colorful, animation-like paintings, along with work of two computer-based artists, Sheldon Brown and Robert Twomey, both of whom Cohen influenced. Twomey, a 2007 MFA graduate of the UCSD Visual Arts program, has on display a functioning device that consists of a camera with a 360-degree lens attached to a drawing machine with a Bic pen that sketches what

the camera sees. As the scene in the gallery in front of the camera changes, so does the drawing. UCSD Visual Arts professor Brown’s contribution is a very long silicon arm (tentacle) with three, prong-like fingers that is powered by a computer program and a pneumatic air pump. The arm is just learning to do things and is currently only able to twist around and pinch (sometimes itself!) but it’s anticipated that at sometime in the future, the arm will pick up a paintbrush and begin to paint.

Hiromi Ito at the opening art reception Cohen’s ex-wife, Becky, who is a filmmaker and photographer, attended the reception for the works in the SME gallery on Jan. 26 and introduced his paintings. She said she met her husband when she was a graduate student in the visual arts program in 1969. “My husband was trying to build a machine that would simulate human freehand drawing. It was modeled on his own style of artwork,” she explained. She added that he called his first drawing machine, “AARON,” and was going to give subsequent versions of the computer program different names but ended up sticking with “AARON,” which was his own Hebrew name. He started out his career as an Impressionist artist in England, but switched to computer-generated art exclusively after he took an influential computer programming class at UCSD, where he had come to teach. “Harold’s program, AARON, is very famous

in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community,” said Becky Cohen. “It is actually the longest running AI program in the history of computing.” Also at the gallery reception was Hiromi Ito who became Cohen’s “significant other” after his break up with Becky in 1986. Ito, who gained fame as a radical Japanese poet, came to teach at the UCSD Literature Department and met Cohen through their mutual association with poet Jerome Rothenberg. “I love Harold’s art work,” Ito said. “It is colorful and imaginative. You know, Harold was not really interested in influencing people. He just wanted to be totally immersed in the process of making and thinking about art. Even near the end of his life, when he was getting weaker and could not stand up to paint, he would still sit and paint with AARON. He actually died while working in his studio.” Another important person at the SME

reception was Tom Machnik, who was Cohen’s last assistant, working with him from 2008 until Cohen’s death in 2016. Machnik said he was hired by Cohen even though he had no background in the arts. “Cohen’s chief aim, and most important activity, was exploring ‘Rule-based art,’ ” said Machnik. “Artists follow rules, whether they are conscious of it or not. Cohen, through constantly thinking about what art is, was able to delineate these rules. He then used these rules to teach AARON the computer how to paint.” Cohen once admitted to Machnik that AARON’s art was “deterministic” because it strictly followed its programming, but was also “creative” in that it produced new paintings no one had ever seen before. However, Cohen maintained that he was a bit more creative than AARON because he designed the program that AARON followed to produce the work. For Cohen, creativity

was, “The ability to modify one’s behavior as we are doing it,” Machnik said. Brown, who created the tentacle in the SME show which may someday paint, remarked that he originally came to UCSD to work with Cohen. “Cohen was a true pioneer in computing in the arts,” said Brown. “He is perhaps the most important artist in the history of UCSD Visual Arts because of the thinking about art that he brought to the art-making process.” Brown ended the evening with the astonishing suggestion that someday there will be great computer painters on the level of the human masters! ■ IF YOU GO: University Arts Gallery (UAG) is open 1-4 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday.

Smart tips for the inquiring foodie

eaders are constantly e-mailing this Kitchen Shrink for advice on assorted culinary crises. I recently received one from a panicked cook who was hosting a holiday gathering. When she inserted a first generation-style meat thermometer into a crown roast of lamb — and it snapped in half — I recommended Chinese take-out for dinner. Here’s a batch of tried-and-true food handling, storing and cooking tips for your collection. Some of these I stumbled upon by serendipity while searching for help to prevent or repair culinary glitches. The rest were gathered from other food-impassioned solution seekers and, of course, thoroughly tested in my kitchen before being added to the list. Say Cheese: When shredding hard and semi-soft cheeses, coat the grater with a non-stick olive oil spray for faster clean-up and less wastage. Chill Out: For easier handling of beef, lamb, chicken or fish for soup, stew and stir-fry preparations, pop in the freezer for an hour or two. This makes it more manageable to slice or cube without

shredding the fibers. Onions are also kinder on the eyes when frozen — no more tears when dicing or slicing these icy bulbs. Herbal Essence: Enrich the flavor of soups and sauces by adding the herbs and spices during the last five minutes of cooking so they maintain their potency. Your Main Squeeze: To get the most juice out of a lemon, keep at room temperature for a day (or immerse into a bowl of hot water for a few minutes), then, with your palm, roll on a hard surface until the rind feels supple and the lemon softer. Cook’s Tip: After you have squeezed the last drop, plastic-wrap tightly the remaining pulp and rind, then freeze to use later for cake batters, risottos, or other lip-puckering dishes. Flour Power: So that bugs don’t take up residence in your flour stash, store it in a wide-mouth glass jar and add a bay leaf. Use Your Noodle: To prevent pasta from its maddening tendency of sticking together, add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to the boiling water before

immersing the noodles. Strain when done, and gently blend another tablespoon or two of olive oil (per package) into the pasta. Cook’s Tip: Prepare al dente any pasta you intend to bake or cook further — such as lasagna, ziti or stuffed shells. Eat, Drink and Be Berry: The easiest way of preventing pesky mold from forming on berries is to rinse only the amount you plan to eat or serve right away. If, however, you intend to keep berries in the refrigerator for a few days, give them a quick rinse first in a weak dilution of water and apple-cider vinegar, drain in a sieve and air-dry for an hour, then refrigerate in an open bowl. Brown Out: To stave off sliced apples from oxidizing and turning brown simply squirt with lemon juice before storing or serving. Spud Smarts: Keep potatoes in a cool, dark place until ready to be cooked. Spuds tend to rot faster when onions are stored nearby. Use potatoes before they get a chance to germinate. Scrub them with a brush and rinse with cold water. Examine the root carefully and gouge and discard each sprouted “eye” before cooking. (Sprouting tendrils contain a mild toxin the plant creates to protect its offspring). In A Nutshell: Since nuts and seeds have a high fat content and tend to go rancid rather quickly, store in tightly closed glass containers in the refrigerator or freezer to keep light and moisture out. They generally last four months in the fridge, and eight in the freezer with their texture intact. Nuts

Sweet & Savory Toasted Nut Combo ■ Ingredients: 1 cup assorted shelled nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, your choice); 1/4 teaspoon sea salt; 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; Cayenne pepper (to taste); 1/4 teaspoon powdered cumin; a dash of nutmeg; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 2 tablespoons butter (low-cholesterol version: use walnut, almond, sesame or sunflower oil); 1/2 cup dried cherries, cranberries or raisins (optional); 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. ■ Method: In a mixing bowl, combine salt and spices. Set aside. In a skillet, melt butter or heat oil on medium, add nuts and toast. Add remaining ingredients and teaspoon of water. Cook on low until sugar is melted. Spread mixture on parchment-lined cookie sheet and cool. Store in airtight containers. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

and seeds also have a habit of picking up tastes and odors of nearby foods, so it’s best to keep them in solitary confinement. Taste before use because a few rancid pieces can ruin a dish.

Top jazz ensembles to perform at Athenaeum FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS The Athenaeum Music & Art Library’s jazz program presents its winter concert series through March 2 in the music room, with the stars ranging from soloists to quartets, and featuring some of today’s top artists. ■ Tuesday, Feb. 14, marks the return of the Edmar Castañeda Trio, with improvising Colombian harpist Castañeda, trombonist Marshall Gilkes and drummer-percussionist Dave Silliman — special guest vocalist Andrea Tierra. A native of Bogota, Castañeda has taken New York and major international jazz festivals by storm with his approach to the traditional Colombian arpa llanera. In addition to leading his own groups, he’s been chosen as a guest soloist by artists such as Paquito D’Rivera, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, John Scofield and John Patitucci. The New York Times wrote, “Producing cross-rhythms like a drummer, smashing chordal flourishes like a flamenco guitarist and collating bebop and Colombian music, Castañeda is almost a world unto himself.”

Tenor saxophonist Mark Turner performs with pianist Ethan Iverson, Feb. 22 at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.

■ On Saturday, Feb. 25, hear two of the top jazz instrumentalists of their generation, tenor saxophonist Mark Turner and pianist Ethan Iverson. Known to Athenaeum audiences from his past performances with the collective trio Fly, Turner and his tenor sax have been praised by The New York Times as “possibly jazz’s premier player … his stature in the jazz world keeps growing.” Iverson is a member of drummer Billy Hart’s quartet and known for his role in the jazz trio The Bad Plus, called by The New York Times “better than anyone at melding the sensibilities of post-60’s jazz and indie rock.” ■ The series concludes Thursday, March 2, with a solo

date by guitarist and composer Ralph Towner. Known as a member of the landmark quartet Oregon, Towner has been a key ECM Records recording artist for over 40 years, including six celebrated solo albums. He shaped a distinct language for his classical and 12-string guitars, blending influences from classical, jazz, folk, and world music. JazzTimes wrote, “From the first luminous minutes, it’s clear that we’re in good hands and on a musical journey that’s by turns pensive and wise, atmospheric and focused … Like few musicians alive, Towner manages to bridge the supposedly disparate worlds of jazz and classical music.” ■ IF YOU GO: Feb. 14 Edmar Castañeda Trio; Feb. 25 Mark Turner/Ethan Iverson; March 2 Ralph Towner. All concerts begin 7:30 p.m. at Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. Single tickets $21 ($26 for non-members). (858) 454-5872. ljathenaeum.org

True or False? In classical mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. He is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus and the war god Mars, and is known in Latin also as Amor. His Greek counterpart is Eros. True. Although Eros is depicted in Classical Greek art as a slender winged youth, during the Hellenistic period, he was increasingly portrayed as a chubby boy. During this time, his iconography acquired the bow and arrow that represent his source of power — a person (or even a deity) who is shot by Cupid's arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire. His role in history continues today as the mascot of Saint Valentine’s Day. — wikipedia

Scott Farr has managed the La Jolla Tennis Club for the past decade. FROM SCOTT FARR, B1

What was your magician performance outfit?

“I wore a tuxedo with a white tails and a red tie, a very formal presentation. I didn’t wear a hat, because it distracted from the whole thing.”

How did you get involved in teaching bridge?

“I played bridge in college, everybody my age did. Between classes we would be playing. And when I was performing on these cruise ships, I would always hang out with the bridge instructors and play with them. So, I’ve been playing bridge since the beginning of time. A couple years after I moved back, San Diego State University sent out their extension courses booklet, in the front page it read, ‘Do you have any ideas for classes? We accept offers.’ And I said, ‘I would consider teaching bridge.’ So I started teaching bridge at SDSU. But the commute started to bother me a little bit, especially during rush hour. But then, we came up with the La Jolla Community Center classes, so I started teaching there, and gave up SDSU.”

What do you like about bridge?

“It’s very good for your brain, and you can learn bridge at any age, they teach it in high school now. It makes you think. It’s not a game that you can just pass by, you have to think the whole time. It’s also a great social game. This class I teach, everybody gets into their own little groups, so there’s all these bridge clubs around for social events. We’re now having monthly dinners with bridge at the La Jolla Rec Center.”

How do you teach bridge?

“There’s two punches to bridge. There’s the (card game and the) biding game, where basically you’re speaking in code and telling your partner what you have. And you can

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

learn that (code). And it’s also about reinforcing the code, and making sure that you and your partner are in the same page. And then you can teach different playing techniques, which they can eventually get down and go from there.”

Do you have a partner?

“I’ve been playing with the same partner for 20 years, Tom Sauer.”

Where do you play recreationally?

“At the La Jolla Cove Bridge Club. It’s a great venue for weddings and stuff. But they put games together three times a week.”

Are you married?

“Yes, I got married eight years ago (to my wife Jane) at the La Jolla Community Center. It was a surprise wedding. She didn’t know she was getting married. I told her that we were going to a special tennis event, and we happened to be driving by the La Jolla Community Center, so I said, let’s stop and say hello since we’re a little early. We went inside, and there were over 100 people waiting for her from around the country, our family and friends. We weren’t engaged, I didn’t ask her before, so I had to ask her during the ceremony.”

What if she had said ‘no’?

“Well, I’m glad she said ‘yes,’ because it would have been a bummer if she didn’t (laughs). We had been together for 10 years, so, that’s part of it.”

Do you have kids?

Yes, my wife has a son from a previous marriage, Stephano (45). ■ To find out about bridge class schedules: Visit lajollacommunitycenter.org and click on “Calendar” or contact Scott Farr at (858) 455-5406.

La Jolla Library hosts Chinese Historical Museum presentation

n honor of the Chinese New Year (Jan. 28) and the new art exhibit “Fantasy of Asia” in its Community Room, the La Jolla Library presented “A Dragon’s Tale,” by the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum, Jan. 27. Museum education coordinator Kathleen Dang explained to those present how dragons have been depicted over hundreds of years and how a dragon’s body includes features from other animals on the Chinese zodiac — the body of a snake, the claws of a rooster, the face of a rabbit, etc. With the help of young volunteers, participants also acted as the different animals that make up the Chinese zodiac. For a schedule of upcoming library activities, visit lajollalibrary.org — Ashley Mackin

Dozens of people fill the library’s community room for the presentation.

San Diego Chinese Historical Museum’s Kathleen Dang explains the history of dragons, as told through drawings over hundreds of years.

Poet laureate visits to inspire Bishop’s School students Juan Felipe Herrera is first Mexican-American to become a poet laureate

“

Do what you really like to do. I have a Ph.D. in daydreaming. If you like to daydream, daydream. My daydreams became all this.

”

— Juan Felipe Herrera U.S. Poet Laureate

U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera addresses a crowd at The Bishop’s School, Jan. 25.

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN In one of the first encounters between U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera and the students at The Bishop’s School (where he’s spending a week as the 2017 Endowed Scholar-in-Residence), he asked a student for her family’s origin. “She took her time,” Herrera told La Jolla Light, adding that he could feel momentum growing in the class, and when she revealed the answer, “There was an inner emotional insightful moment. That’s my mission.” Herrera explained he’s on a quest to help students achieve their highest expression potential. “When you say something in a poem, people can relate to that. That’s what you can do with poetry, but it needs to have sincerity, your full attention and freedom to express yourself at that level,” he explained. The first Mexican-American to become a poet laureate, Herrera spoke to the entire Bishop’s School student body Jan. 24. “Do what you really like to do,” he told them. “I have a Ph.D. in daydreaming. If you like to daydream, daydream. My daydreams became all this.” Herrera, who grew up in San Diego, credited his teachers for challenging him, which prompted the growth that made him become a poet. “Your teachers present you SEE JUAN FELIPE HERRERA, B25

Preserving La Jolla: Historical Community La Jolla has been earning its reputation as “the jewel” of San Diego ever since it was incorporated into the city in 1850. Its nickname stems not only from La Jolla’s beautiful natural landscape, but also from the structures built upon it. La Jolla has a uniquely dense architectural history from historic beach cottages to Mid-Century modern homes to the striking designs of Irving Gill.

My great-grandfather, Ernie, who started his career as a carpenter in southern England, came to La Jolla in the 1920s and founded a family construction company here. My grandfather, father, and I have all continued the tradition of community involvement that Ernie began back in the 1920s. Our family built the Soledad Cross and conceived and built the Mount Soledad War Memorial. My father, George Dewhurst, planted the pine tree on the corner of Prospect and Draper on behalf of the La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club, and every year GDC Construction decorates the tree for the Christmas season. So I care deeply about historical preservation in this great community. Over the last few years, it has been hard to miss the struggle over the preservation of La Jolla’s beach cottages, which has played out in the local press. Most of these homes were built as seasonal

vacation properties, which, over the years, became year-round residences. Once people took up full-time residence in the cottages, many had to be significantly renovated from their original condition. These renovations lead the San Diego Historical Resources Board, which decides which local buildings receive historical designation, to classify a cottage as being historic significant or not. If a building is 45 years old or older, it must be cleared for demolition or significant renovation by this board. Therefore, some homeowners in La Jolla face the unique responsibility of preserving the architectural history of their community. It is essential to historic preservation for the owners of older local homes to find ways to blend the old with the new. If you own an historic property of a certain size, you may be able to open it up to the public for viewing or even for private events, which benefits both the community and you. Also, you can

apply for the Mills Act to receive a reduction on your property taxes for preserving your historic property. One way we can preserve our exceptional community is to develop new projects or remodels while tipping our hat to those older styles. Local architects and homeowners can maintain the charm of La Jolla by looking back to the Arts and Crafts Movement, by drawing inspiration from the Jewel’s postVictorian beach cottages, and from studying the Mid-Century modern styles. The trick is to give those styles a contemporary slant and to maintain comfort and convenience as well as aesthetics. Part of the charm of La Jolla has always been the blending of the different architectural styles. This lack of uniformity has added to the character of the community, it is one thing, along with our beautiful coastline, that makes La Jolla so special.

With our mission in hosting social charity events and giving back, Millionaire connects both of those interests.” Learn more or RSVP: themillionaireent.com/24

Students fill The Bishop’s School gymnasium to hear U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Herrera. FROM JUAN FELIPE HERRERA, B22 with life puzzles sometimes. When I was in sixth grade, my teacher wanted me to do a theater piece on Peru. My teacher had a lot of faith and support in me. I didn’t know how to do it, but I crunched it out and somehow with my wizard genius I did it,” he explained, and immediately started playing his harmonica, one of the highlights of his lectures for students. He also discussed his struggles as the son of Mexican migrant farmers growing up in San Diego. He recalled the time a teacher asked him, “Juan, what are you?” And he replied, “What am I … I am Hawaiian.” “I said that because I had just come back from San Francisco and I had amazing friends from Hawaii, but I’m Mexican and I told myself, ‘I’m not going to lie anymore.’ I told

myself, ‘I don’t want to be scared or nervous when my teachers ask me a question anymore.’ ” For his poetry, Herrera often uses Spanish and English weaved together into a whirlwind of rhythms and words. Asked how an only-English speaker would understand his poetry, he replied, “You don’t have to know what those words mean, you can just look at them, and you’re good. There’s no requirements in poetry — even if you know all the languages in the poem.” Herrera invited students to write “celebration poems” and read them or give them to someone. “A poem does not exist if you do not give it away. It is empty if you don’t read it out in your beautiful voice. It has to have your voice, without your voice is not really a poem.” He insisted “giving” is especially important in present times because “people are feeling a

little agitated. It’s good to have a gift from someone else, a stranger especially, someone they don’t know ... or maybe know a little bit. It’s very deep and magical. You don’t have to think too much; it can be a poem about what happened today, or how you feel, or what you dreamed about ... or just a few words,” he continued. He said one of his first experiences as a student was when his teacher told him to sing in front of his entire class. “She said, ‘Juan, you have a beautiful voice!’ I don’t have a voice, Miss, I don’t talk at all. And that was my life puzzle. I had to figure it out. … And all of you students at The Bishop’s School have beautiful voices. Every single one of you.” ■ Want to Know More?

FROM BILLY CRYSTAL, B5 tomorrow. … It’s a very confusing time and a very edgy time now. Somehow, it doesn’t feel like this is our country — it will take some time for things to settle.” His breakthrough role on the TV series “Soap”: “I never thought about it as ‘This will make me famous.’ I thought: ‘This is a really daring show, and if we can do it right, it could be important.’ It wasn’t about what it would do for me, but what I could do for this character. I thought that, if we could play it right, we could do something that hadn’t been done before (a gay character in a sitcom) on TV. I hadn’t seen it in so many years and recently found some DVDs of ‘Soap.’ I watched it, and thought: ‘You know what? This was on 40 years ago!’ I was really proud about it.” Craving the spotlight from a young age: “I needed that attention. To get out in front of people, it’s one of the places I feel most comfortable. I’m an uncomfortable person in front of small groups. But in front of 200 people, or 2000, I’m comfortable.” His tenure as a middle-school substitute teacher: “When I would come in, I was what they called a ‘per diem floater.’ So I would report every day. If anybody was out, I’d take over any kind of class, even if It was something I wasn’t skilled at, which was everything! But mostly, I’d teach was English and phys ed. I’d take questions from the students and sometimes break in new material. Because I was just starting out in comedy. And if somebody is in a chair, looking at you in a classroom, it’s really no different than in a comedy club.” Doing a Spinal Tap reunion: “Hey, yeah, of course. One last tour! But I want the royalties on the ‘Mime is money’ hats! (Crystal’s character in the 1984 movie, “This is Spinal Tap,” was “Morty, the mime, waiter,” who memorably declared: “Mime is money! Come on, move it!”). Advice for Jimmy Kimmel on hosting the Oscars: “I was talking to Kimmel the other day. He’s very witty and did a really good job on the Emmys. When

www.lajollalight.com everybody asks me about hosting the Oscars eight times. I tell them: ‘Just look like you want to be there. Work hard to write good jokes and don’t over-stay your welcome. Just pick your spots and make sure the show moves along.’ The most important thing is having a really good time. And it’s difficult for the audience, because they’re all nervous and uncomfortable. So pick jokes that work.” Jack Palance doing one-armed push-ups during his 1992 Oscars Best Supporting Actor acceptance speech: “I think it was the greatest set-up for a joke in Oscars history. Plus, I was one who had helped create that part (for Palance) in ‘City Slickers.’ Jack was in the first movie I ever saw as a kid, ‘Shane.’ And here I was in ‘City Slickers,’ acting with him in a role he won an Oscar for doing. It was such a thrill. And that happened to be one of the better shows in the history of the Oscars. Because he did (the push-ups). it gave me a running start for the rest of the show. Did I send him a thank-you card? Um, no — he already had the Oscar!” His creative impetus: “I haven’t stopped working since high school; I really haven’t stopped. I love to tell stories. I love to create things from out of the blue, and create new people, characters, stories, movies. Whatever they end up becoming is just an extension of the stories you tell from the time you’re a little kid. I was always imitating my relatives. … I was always interested in creating someone else and becoming someone else.” Retirement: “I never even use the word. I got to know (comedy pioneer) George Burns pretty well. I was with him in Las Vegas when he was 95, and I watched him do an hour and a half performance. Afterward, I asked him: ‘Will you ever retire?’ And he said: ‘To what? What would I do?’ ” ■ IF YOU GO: “Spend the Night with Billy Crystal,” 8 p.m. Feb. 16.
