BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Caroline Becker, noise mitigation specialist for the San Diego International Airport Authority, reported at the Feb. 15 Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) meeting, “La Jolla has now more complaints lodged than Point Loma.” Becker pointed out, however, that 1,086 of the total 1,916 complaints received from La Jollans between December 2016 and January 2017 came from one household in Bird Rock. Of the complaints registered in La Jolla, 1,566 were from Bird Rock, 193 from La Jolla, 85 from La Jolla Mesa and 72 from La Jolla Shores, she said. This led ANAC board member Deborah Watkins to say that a seat had become available on the ANAC subcommittee, and she encouraged a La Jollan to apply for it. The application is online at san.org/Airport-Authority/Meetings-Agendas under “ANAC subcommittee.” SEE PLANE NOISE, A4

abel Bell came to La Jolla on vacation from Brian, Texas in 1942, and never left. She lived in the community until her death at age 94 in 2007, and one year after that, the alley between Silver Street and Fern Glen where she lived, was named after her.

Pioneers and Pioneer Descendants 1880-1974,” told La Jolla Light that Bell was a respected and sought-after member of the community because of her skills as a people connector. “I was over at her house when Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) called my

aunt, and said, ‘I need a person to do a dinner party for me,’ and she replied, ‘I’m on it.’ ” A community organizer, Bell was regarded fondly by her neighbors. But she didn’t always have it easy, her nephew recalls. In 1950, she bought a property on the 7400

block of Draper Avenue, outside the so-called “Black Quarters,” which extended mainly down the 7500 block of the same street. “(At first) they didn’t want to sell to her, and she ended up buying it independently from the owner,” SEE BLACK PIONEERS, A10

Bird Rock Council urges residents to report rain, wind damage Unstable trees and street flooding top the priority list

BY ASHLEY MACKIN A discussion about how the winter storms of late 2016 and early 2017 impacted Bird Rock(and what to do about it going forward) took place at the Feb. 7 Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting at Bird Rock Elementary School. The talk was led by BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar. She reported that a median light on the 5700 block of La Jolla Boulevard blew down during the high winds Jan. 21. No one was hurt, and there was minimal vegetation damage. She said there were also reports of street flooding and broken tree branches, adding that a service request was submitted to the City to replace the median light. “We have other ongoing requests for repairs due to damage caused by rains and high winds,” Dunbar said. Because of one fallen structure, a new priority is to proactively look for unstable trees. “It’s very important that people report unstable trees ahead of high winds and rain. We have crews going out on a very regular basis, checking all the trees in the (boundaries of the) Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) for stability.” Residents who want to report unstable trees can e-mail info@birdrockcc.org or use the City’s Get It Done app, which can be

A sinking street?

ASHLEY MACKIN

Bird Rock Community Council treasurer Barbara Dunbar, president Andrew Ward and board member Ron Fineman downloaded to any mobile device from sandiego.gov/get-it-done “The app allows citizens to report to the City directly … and has streamlined the way the City deals with reported issues,” Dunbar said. “You can also take photos and upload them, and the City will use the GPS information from the photo to pinpoint where the problem is. “We get reports from people that say ‘the damage is on La Jolla Boulevard’ but they don’t say which block or anything specific. So having that GPS information is a help.” Problems that can be reported through the app include: abandoned vehicles, curb and gutter blockages, dead animals, graffiti, potholes, sidewalk issues, storm drain issues, street light outages, traffic light malfunctions and tree hazards. “Everyone who has used it says it is better than the old system, and does result in

things getting done,” Dunbar said. “But as community members, you could help the whole neighborhood and report the problems. It’s a squeaky wheel situation.”

Mosquito caution

With the excess of rain thus far, Dunbar said San Diego County Vector Control Program is issuing an early warning about mosquito growth in standing water. “It only takes two days of standing water without circulation for mosquitoes to lay their eggs and one to two weeks later, the mosquitoes mature. So it might not be the season, but our weather is not that cold here, it could still happen,” she said. “Check for anything that can hold water including pot bottoms, buckets, folds in lawn furniture or grill covers, toys, even fallen palm fronds (and dump the water inside).”

Recently, each time it rains, a small “lake” forms at the Forward Street roundabout on La Jolla Boulevard, Dunbar reported. Residents are concerned that the water’s weight has created a burden on the pavement and is damaging the infrastructure. “It is our belief that the road is sinking a bit ... the asphalt is disappearing and potholes are appearing. The rain makes it worse,” she said. “The road was not installed properly and it seems there wasn’t much forethought because no matter what we do to the landscape areas on either side, we can’t solve the problem of pooling water (which has contributed to the undermining).” Meeting attendee Sharon Wampler added, “We’ve been told for years there was going to be some replacement (project) and when it’s done, the road will be repaved. But it’s been years and nothing has happened.” She also joked the next time it rains, “Everyone should take a picture and upload it to the Get It Done app.”

In other BRCC news: ■ Tour of Homes: BRCC member Ron Fineman announced the Jan. 28 Bird Rock Tour of Homes, which returned this year after a three-year hiatus, was a success. “We had six homes that were kept secret until the day of the event. I’m told a good time was had by all. We had 50 volunteers and 168 attendees. We have it on the schedule for next year, around the same time,” he said.

FROM PLANE NOISE, A1 The selected candidate will be seated at the Wednesday, March 15 ANAC subcommittee meeting. Acknowledging the one, chief complainant, La Jollan Matthew Price said that nonetheless, “That’s about 1,000 complaints from La Jolla, compared to none in 2015 (and most of 2016) from your own presentations.” To prove his point, he asked meeting attendees to raise their hands if they lived in La Jolla, and approximately 75 percent of the audience did. “I hold in my hand more than 300 petitions signed by La Jollans asking the airport authority and the FAA to determine the cause of noise and return it to previous levels,” Price continued. La Jollans have been reporting an increase in airplane noise since fall 2016. Changes in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight paths and operations over the area are expected Thursday, March 2, but the agency insists no modifications that could explain the surge of complaints in La Jolla have been implemented. However, the upcoming changes could reportedly help alleviate the situation. “It starts early in the morning, and we have the nighttime departures as well,” said Muirlands resident Maria Jenness. “I can tell you that the planes used to go off much further over the ocean and noise was not much of a problem. But the airplanes have come closer and closer to the shoreline, and we’re impacted by that.” Retired pilot and La Jolla Shores Heights resident Chris McCann said he went to Bird Rock to experience the noise firsthand and

They were saying that late last fall (the noise) just got bad,” he reported. “I would like to find a way to join this organization to represent La Jolla.”

Early takeoff turns

Early right turns during San Diego International Airport departures are on the rise, according to Airport Authority staff. “We did have an increase over the entire year, but when you look at December and January of last year, we were about the same number. And that’s indicative of weather,” said Sjohnna Knack, Airport Planning & Noise Mitigation program manager. An early right turn is a violation of the FAA procedures that occurs when an

outgoing aircraft turns before it can reach the designated “noise dot,” a series of imaginary points based on a voluntary agreement between the Airport Authority and the FAA to keep noise at a minimum. Brian Elliott (representing Congress member Scott Peters) asked staff if the increase in early right turns was the cause for the surge in La Jolla complainers. Knack answered, “(As for the complaints about) departure noise from La Jolla, my hope would be that when the FAA procedure is implemented and utilized by pilots, it may alleviate some of the concerns because the (airplanes) will stay inside the noise dot.” La Jolla residents had a different opinion on the matter. During public comment, Len Gross insisted that early turns aren’t the reason he’s complaining about noise. “(Early

turns) only represent one or two events per day, we have 100 planes going by our house (every day). That’s what people are reacting to, and it needs to have a global perspective, not just a look at a particular incident,” he said, adding that rethinking aircraft noise and how it affects people is a necessity.

La Jolla representation

A lengthy discussion took place among ANAC board members on how La Jolla should be represented. Board member Chris Cole (representing Uptown Planners) made a motion to recommend the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority board include a La Jollan on the ANAC board. (ANAC is an advisory committee that counsels the Airport Authority over noise issues. The ANAC subcommittee sits below

However, airport staff member Knack protested. “The intent of ANAC is to represent those communities and residents that are most impacted. There are many people impacted, however, the people that have the voting rights are those within the 65 decibel (contour),” she said. The communities currently represented on the board include Downtown, Uptown, Golden Hill, Mission Beach, Peninsula (Point Loma), Ocean Beach and Midway/Pacific Highway, plus a member for the community at large. Representing the Peninsula Community Planning Board, board member Paul Webb added, “I understand the desire to include people from other communities, but we have a focus and a charge to look at the areas that are

most affected, within the 65 decibel contour.” The motion to add a La Jolla representative to the ANAC board failed 2-6-1. However, Watkins pointed out that an opportunity to apply to the ANAC subcommittee had opened when a member resigned, and staff explained that the application would be up on the website and they were already in touch with La Jollan McCann as a possible candidate. “He seems to have a very good background for it, but we have to open it up and allow anyone to apply,” Knack said. Watkins put forth a second motion to recommend the Airport Authority board add a 16th member to the ANAC subcommittee to represent La Jolla, regardless of whether a La Jollan fills the current empty seat or not. The motion passed 9-0-0.

Before they were taken down, 18 ‘mystery medals’ moved from one side of Draper Avenue to the other. Who moved them? And how? And why?

Mystery medals moved, then removed

he mystery deepens in the Case of the Marathon Medals, a whodunit above Draper Avenue ... When last we looked, a row of marathon race medals were tied along a string hung between a house and a utility pole on the west side of Draper Avenue (circa December 2016). La Jolla Light reported the “mystery medals” story hoping to glean the backstory, but only to learn that a few months later (specific date unknown), the medals were moved — almost in their entirety — to the east side of Draper, next to La Jolla High School. Now, the medals have been removed completely! Can anyone help us solve this conundrum? If you have a lead, e-mail reporter Ashley Mackin at ashleym@lajollalight.com with any information.

Jewish Community Center receives second bomb threat Another bomb threat was sent to the Jewish Community Center (JCC) Tuesday morning, making it the second time in a month the center, located at 4126 Executive Drive, has been threatened. The first was Jan. 31, when Jewish centers in multiple states received threats. JCC executive director Michael Cohen said in a prepared statement, “The Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center received a bomb threat (on) Feb. 21. Once the threat was received our staff followed practiced protocol and immediately safely evacuated the building and the San Diego Police arrived at the premises. After a careful sweep of the building by San Diego Police our building reopened at 7 a.m. … While these threats are being investigated, we continue to take numerous security measures to ensure the safety of our members and guests. “As a JCC, we are part of a national Secure Community Network (SCN) — an affiliate of the Jewish Federations of North America that monitors, advises and supports the safety and security of Jewish Institutions. In response to these recent threats across the country, we have been working closely with our local police department and national security agencies to monitor the situation and review our protocols. We have been continually briefed by SCN, ADL (Anti-Defamation League) and the JCC Association to help us understand the circumstances and support our safety and security efforts.”

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Police weigh in on ‘fraud’ label Several La Jolla Light readers have written to inquire as to the ominous definition of “fraud” often found in this weekly crime report. We reached out to San Diego Police Department community relations officer Larry Hesselgesser who explained, “90 percent of the time, these are cases of credit card fraud or identity theft.” Crimemapping defines fraud as: “The intentional perversion of the truth for the purpose of inducing another person or other entity to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right.” Wikipedia goes on to explain: “Credit card fraud is a wide-ranging term for theft and fraud committed using or involving a payment card, such as a credit card or debit card, as a fraudulent source of funds in a transaction. The purpose may be to obtain goods without paying, or to obtain unauthorized funds from an account. Credit card fraud is also an adjunct to identity theft.”

FROM BLACK PIONEERS, A1 Buchanan said. “She would tell me that (at the beginning) there were crosses burned in her backyard, which was very scary for her. The whites didn’t want them there, but she stayed, and in time, she became very popular.” Cristin McVey, author of “Traces of Black San Diego” wrote that after World War II African-Americans found it increasingly hard to buy property in La Jolla. “Those who stayed in La Jolla after the war were mostly older residents and black property owners. Although the population of La Jolla tripled from 1950 to 1960, the number of blacks fell sharply,” she reported. La Jolla was in the process of re-inventing itself from an independent beachfront tourist and retirement community to a wealthy professional mecca. McVey wrote about the rising housing prices and property taxes. “Those who did not own their home or could not afford the property taxes just left,” she added. Buchanan recalled his aunt’s tax struggles. “Prior to 1978, taxes would skyrocket every year. I remember my aunt would cringe around tax season,” he said. Another African-American family, the Epps, owned property on Eads Avenue. Donald Epps explained that in 1962 or 1963, the City re-zoned the area from residential to commercial, and property taxes tripled. “It was hard for many (African-American) families to afford the new taxes. At the same time, there were land speculators, and a lot of these people who bought these lots for $2,000, were offered $25,000 in the mid-60s, a tenfold increase. For that time, that was a

Many black residents moved from La Jolla to cheaper areas of San Diego, chiefly the southeast, McVey reported, where homes were readily available and affordable for minorities. However, a small population of African-Americans remained in La Jolla and their children grew up in the community. “Living in La Jolla had distinct advantages over the black neighborhoods in Southeast San Diego: better schools, better libraries,

better parks and beaches,” McVey wrote.

Growing up in La Jolla

In 1954, when he was in the second-grade, Buchanan moved to La Jolla with his mother and his half-brother, Clarence. His father, who was in the Navy, joined them later. The family lived in a house on the 7500 block of Draper Street that, Buchanan calculates, is now the Science Building at The Bishop’s School. “We lived an ear distance to

the Rec Center, and my brother and I heard these balls going back and forth, and we were wondering, ‘What is that?’ So we walked up one day and we saw all these people playing tennis, we were mesmerized.” That was the beginning of an intense and successful career in sports for Buchanan. He played tennis, football, baseball and basketball during his elementary and high school years, leading the teams to victory, in many cases. Among his other accomplishments, he was San Diego CIF Basketball Player of the Year, as a senior. But sports wasn’t everything there was to do in La Jolla, and Buchanan said he felt very much part of the African-American community. Some of his friends at that time were the younger generation that grew up in the town, such as Donald Epps, Catherine Hayek and Bettye Brown. Brown lived in La Jolla Shores, where she remembers they were the only black family. Her parents, who hailed from Florida, settled in La Jolla after WW II and received an offer to move to a property on The Shores as “caregivers.” “We used to go exploring. My brother and I would ride (our bikes) up to Scripps and go to the beach every day. It was a wonderful experience growing up La Jolla Shores, we could not have been more free,” Brown said, adding that she and Hayek were the only African-Americans in the Girl Scout Brownies at the time. “I don’t remember any discrimination, being treated any way other than what was appropriate,” she continued.

COURTESY OF CHARLEY BUCHANAN

Charley Buchanan’s brother, Clarence, was one of the eight members of La Jolla High School’s tennis team in the 1950s.

Some of the students in Mrs. Bett’s class, 1954, La Jolla Elementary School being lost at an “alarming rate,” McVey reported. The same year, a non-profit was created by the leadership of the Prince Chapel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, with the participation of other community leaders, such as the pastor of La Jolla Presbyterian Church and members of the La Jolla Town Council. Strongly Oriented for Action (SOFA) was an interracial organization created to help the remaining members of the La Jolla working class combat poverty. “The loss of low-cost housing for service workers, both currently employed and retired, spurred SOFA to confront the problem directly by purchasing several homes that could be rented to low-income families,” McVey wrote.

Buchanan, who researched history of the group, said, “The nonprofit worked to empower minorities. It provided tutoring, job skills information, child care ... they had a pre-school. It was for low-income families in La Jolla. Not only blacks, there were Mexican, Filipinos, whites, but it was within the La Jolla area.” SOFA organized fundraisers and marches to shed light on the problems of the working class in La Jolla and raised funds through many programs. A key player was Prince Chapel’s Rev. Lonnie Wormsley. “He had an incredible outreach ability,” Buchanan said, “He had a major support system from the community of La Jolla. We had a big membership within the church, there were quite a few black people still living in town.”

But AME churches rotate their ministers every few years and that, in Buchanan’s opinion, was detrimental for the program. In 1979, SOFA secured a $1-per-year lease for City-owned property on Cuvier and Marine streets to build an eight-unit low-income housing project, which they operated until the year 2000. With the exodus of the African-American population from La Jolla and the ministerial changes, SOFA faded away. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, 1.2 percent of the La Jolla population identify as black or African-American “only.” That’s 557 people of the total 46,781 that were found in the 92037 ZIP code. Buchanan remembered that, before his aunt Mabel Bell died, he frequented La Jolla.

Jan McKusick

“My mom and I would come to visit my aunt every week, and we went from knowing everybody on the street, to thinking everybody was a stranger,” he said. On the 7500 block of Draper Avenue, the “Black Quarters” once housed a population of more than 500 people, which in the 1950s was 10 percent of La Jolla’s total population. The only landmarks that point to those days are the Ed Coleman cottage at 7510 Draper Ave. (designated “historical” by the Historical Resources Board in 2016), and the Racket Stringing Workshop at 7548 Draper Ave. (which used to be the Little Pig B-B-Q, an African-American-owned restaurant). ■ See previous stories from the La Jolla’s Black Pioneers series at lajollalight.com

La Jolla sends three teams to CIF

Bishop’s girl’s water polo, basketball teams and La Jolla girl’s water polo team enter playoffs BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla High School and The Bishop’s School girl’s water polo team each will compete in the CIF San Diego Open Division playoffs this week, after clearing the quarterfinals on Feb. 18. The La Jolla High School Vikings defeated Westview High School from Mira Mesa 15-5 and the Bishop’s School Knights defeated El Camino High School from Oceanside 17-2, to advance to the semifinals on Feb. 22 at La Jolla High School’s athletic complex at 750 Nautilus St. (Bishop’s plays at 5:45 p.m. and La Jolla plays immediately after.) In the semis, the Knights will challenge Cathedral Catholic High School and the Vikings will take on Carlsbad High School. Bishop’s enters the match with a 20-4 overall win-loss record, while the Cathedral Catholic Dons have had an 18-13 season. Bishop’s water polo coach Doug Peabody said the quarterfinal match was “a strong game for us” largely due to great defense, which they will take to the next round. He explained, “We’re going to rely on solid defense, good passing and strong offense. We have five seniors, and all five are coming to the end of the career, and they are playing knowing these could be their last games. So we’re looking for strong senior leadership going forward.” Those five seniors are Cassidy Ball, Robyn Carter, Georgia Gilmore, Lily Keck and Kayleigh Schultz. The Vikings enter the competition 25-3 overall while the Carlsbad Lancers come in with a 21-4 record. The last time these two teams squared off, Carlsbad defeated La Jolla 10-4, and Viking’s coach Amy Jennings said the loss is motivated the team to play that much smarter. “We need to find our confidence again and not be scared.

Canale and Ciara Franke, Jennings said she would rely on select underclassmen as a secret weapon. “Everyone knows to target Karli and Ciara, but we have some sophomores and a junior that I expect will play the game of their lives if they have the opportunity. We had a game (in which certain seniors couldn’t play due to injury) where we relied on them and we won. In the playoffs, I know they can put the ball in the back of the net, but they are going to have to make some quick decisions, which I know they can because they are smart, they know the game and have been training for this.” Should both La Jolla teams come out on top, the CIF championship game is Saturday, Feb. 25. Regardless of its competitors, the finals will be played at Coggan Pool on the La Jolla High School campus. This will not be the first go-around for either team at CIF. In February 2016, it was hometown showdown when Bishops and La Jolla High School battled through the ranks to eventually make it to — and square off in — the CIF championship round. In tight, back-and-forth match, Bishop’s ultimately claimed a 5-4 victory. COURTESY

Bishop’s Knight Brianna Deletorre (in gray) evades La Jolla Country Day School Torrey Marisa Urbano-Sedlund in the Feb. 16 match-up. The Knights proceed to CIF playoffs this weekend. Carlsbad beat us by a lot last time, but we aren’t going to let them get in our heads. Just because they did it once, doesn’t mean they will do it again,” she said. “We want to stick to our game plan and do what we do best. Our shooting is good and we’re a quick team. We just have to be smart.” In addition to the team’s “standout” seniors, such as Karli

In other sports news: Bishop’s basketball enters CIF: The CIF-playoff bound Bishop’s School girls basketball team took on La Jolla Country Day School Feb. 16 in a cross-town rivalry. And the Country Day School Torreys (16-10) defeated the Bishop’s Knights (27-2) in a narrow victory, 44-42. However, based on their success this season, the Knights will proceed to CIF San Diego Open Division playoffs starting Saturday, Feb. 25. The Knights will take on La Costa Canyon from Carlsbad at home, 7607 La Jolla Blvd., 7 p.m. tip-off.

Walgreens ‘Community’ Pharmacy opens in La Jolla’s UTC area BY ASHLEY MACKIN The Walgreens Community Pharmacy is now open at 4130 La Jolla Village Drive to provide specialty medications, same-day or next-day delivery, and reduced copays. It is one of 75 “Community” pharmacies in the United States. Store manager Bobby DePreist said of the name, “ ‘Community’ is a brand of Walgreens that mostly deals with specialty pharmacy drugs, which are more expensive than the average drugs and classified (as specialty) by insurance companies. That can include various cancers, chronic inflammatory diseases, HIV, leukemia, etc. So our inventory is more focused on hard-to-find medications you won’t find in other places.” He added, “These drugs can range from a few hundred dollars to $15,000 … and even when they are covered by your insurance company, the co-pay could be unaffordable for the average American. So we work with a variety of non-profits and copay savings programs to, hopefully, get everyone’s copay down to $20 or less. It is not always possible, but that’s our mission: To provide local access to medications and make then affordable.” To get these medications to the patients that need them, the pharmacy offers a delivery service and consultation. “If someone can’t come and pick up the prescription, we can go to them,” DePreist said. “Sometimes it can be scary for patients who have to take an injectable medication for the first time, so I can go to them for a little counseling session and show them how to use it properly.” In addition to the specialty prescriptions, the La Jolla Community Walgreens can fill regular prescriptions. However, they do not sell over-the-counter drugs commonly found at pharmacies. “Most pharmacies have the goal of filling hundreds of prescriptions per day, but our goal is to fill very few, but have a lot of time and energy for each one. It’s a lot of work to get a $30,000 drug covered for $20 or less,” he said. “So we focus all of our time and energy on that.” Learn more at (858) 352-2242 or walgreens.com

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

DART takes aim at rare cancers

eb. 27 is Rare Disease Day. The emphasis will be on research and the theme “Research brings hope.” A “rare disease” in the United States is defined as a condition that affects fewer than 200,000 Americans at any given time. In a population exceeding 325 million people, that makes statistical sense — 200,000 is just 0.06 percent of the total populace — but it’s cold comfort if you’re among those uncommonly afflicted. Because they are infrequently found and healthcare resources are indisputably finite, rare diseases do not attract much attention, comparatively speaking. True to its confounding nature, cancer is both an exception — and not. There are literally scores of rare cancers that pass unnoticed or unknown until, of course, you or someone you know receives such a diagnosis. These cancers are not the subject of broad, deep, relentless study or the target of expensive, national, multi-institutional efforts to find new treatments or cures. But rare tumors cumulatively comprise

more than 20 percent of all cancers diagnosed worldwide. Seemingly diffuse, they represent a massive target worth addressing. A new clinical trial, called Dual Anti-CTLA-4 & Anti-PD-1 blockade in Rare Tumors or, more succinctly, DART, will take a shot. DART is the brainchild of Razelle Kurzrock, M.D., senior deputy director of clinical science at Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, and colleagues at SWOG, an acronym for a worldwide network of researchers who design and conduct cancer clinical trials. DART will leverage the emerging promise of immunotherapy (boosting the body’s immune system to fight malignancies) to test combination therapies using two leading-edge immunotherapy drugs — ipilimumab and nivolumab — on 80 rare cancer types, from acinar cell carcinoma to vulvar squamous cell carcinoma. Kurzrock is co-senior study chair with Francis J. Giles, M.D., of Northwestern University. The senior principal investigator for DART is Sandip Patel, M.D., an assistant clinical

professor and medical oncologist at Moores Cancer Center, who helped conceive the original idea. Donna Hansel, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology at UCSD School of Medicine, is also part of the DART team. DART is the first federally funded immunotherapy trial devoted to studying the rare malignancies. Charles D. Blanke, M.D., the chair of SWOG has described DART as three I’s: impact, immunotherapy and ingenuity. The impact is obvious: Thousands of Americans get a diagnosis of a rare cancer each year. Typically, they are under the age of 40. “DART could point to an effective treatment option for thousands of people,” wrote Blanke on his blog. The trial is ingenious for a less obvious reason. Rare cancer trials are, well, rare because it’s invariably difficult to find enough suitable participants to conduct a dedicated, focused study. DART solves that problem by leveraging another ongoing clinical trial called NCI-MATCH (short for National Cancer Institute-Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice), which looks at patients’ tumors for gene abnormalities for which a targeted drug already exists, something geneticists call an “actionable mutation.” NCI-MATCH patients for whom there is no current treatment option or who have cancers that don’t respond to treatment on that trial may be eligible to enroll in DART. “In a way, NCI-MATCH creates the haystack for DART while also identifying the

needles in that haystack. It’s a way to speed treatments to a population in critical need,” said Blanke. The two drugs being used in DART — ipilimumab and nivolumab — are notable, too. Both are monoclonal antibodies and both are checkpoint inhibitors. The former means they have an affinity for binding to a specific antigen or molecule on a cell. The latter means these antibodies target the CTLA-4 and PD-1 immune checkpoints — proteins that, in normal cells, are used to turn up or turn down signals to T cells so that they are not attacked by these immune system guardians. Many cancer cells protect themselves from the immune system by inhibiting the T cell signal. Monoclonal antibodies essentially strip this protection away from cancer cells, allowing T cells to zero in and attack. Ipilimumab and nivolumab (marketed as Yervoy and Opdivo) are already approved for treating melanoma and, in combination, some cancers of the thorax, the main body cavity where the heart, lungs and other organs reside. There are high hopes that these drugs will prove effective against rare tumors as well. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UCSD Moores Cancer Center.

Need a Financial Plan?

Scott Ashline at La Jolla’s Northwestern Mutual can help!

Scott Ashline

COURTESY

BY DAVID L. CODDON There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for successful financial planning. Everyone has different needs and dreams for the future. That doesn’t deter Scott Ashline and his team at Northwestern Mutual. In fact, he relishes the challenge. “What I really enjoy is discovering what are clients’ objectives and trying to figure out ways we can help them,” said Ashline, for 25 years a wealth management adviser at Northwestern Mutual. “It’s like solving a puzzle.” Ashline’s team is composed of a practitioners in comprehensive financial planning, estate planning, business planning, retirement income planning, investment strategies and risk management. “Each person has a different specialty,” he explained. “We really do your overall financial planning. For some people it’s ‘How much do I need for my kids’ education?’ For others it’s retirement strategies, and for others it’s life insurance or setting up retirement plans.” In other words, and Ashline emphasizes this, “We’re not just investment managers.” Northwestern Mutual is a longstanding company, founded way back in 1857 in Wisconsin. Its three San Diego County offices include the Golden Triangle area, downtown San Diego and Carlsbad. Ashline, originally from Colorado, is a graduate of Boston College and says with pride that financial planning is the only type of work he’s done from the start. “Interaction with clients” is what he said he likes most about it. No wonder that in both 2010 and 2011 Ashline was named one of

Northwestern Mutual’s top 10 financial representatives in its Western region. That’s a distinction perhaps earned by understanding the ups and downs of the financial world, by being visionary and by reassuring his clients. “The challenge is keeping them focused on their long-term goals,” Ashline said. “A lot of times the latest news tends to infuse fear in people into doing nothing. I see that a lot in some of the estate planning markets in terms of what’s going to happen with estate taxes.” He urges clients who may be anxious to be proactive, to keep moving forward, and to trust his team: “Do what you do best,” he advises, “and let us help you figure out your longer-term goals.” Ultimately, Ashline said, the goals are the same for all of his clients, regardless of their financial portfolio. “At the end of the day, everyone has the same kind of objectives. It comes down to math. I always say my job is to get people to save and invest money before they spend it. “No one is hard-wired to save money. We’re about getting people to save first and then spend. Getting people disciplined.” There may be no ideal client, but Ashline knows what a good one is: “Somebody who really wants to do great things for their family and for the community. They’re in it for a bigger purpose than just making a lot of money.” Northwestern Mutual is at 4225 Executive Square, Suite 1250, in La Jolla.

Q&A

NISHA BUNKE, MD, FACPh, RPhS VENOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST

Q: Can you tell us about La Jolla Vein Care? A: La Jolla Vein Care was established in 2010 and specializes in treating patients with

vein conditions. The facility is only one of a few dedicated vein treatment centers in San Diego and Southern California with board-certified physicians and nine staff members trained in the diagnosis and treatment of vein disorders. We have successfully treated thousands of patients without surgery. Dr. Nisha Bunke, the medical director of La Jolla Vein Care, was the first physician in the United States to complete fellowship training in Venous and Lymphatic Medicine 10 years ago. Since we are the region’s most comprehensive vein center, our registered vascular sonographers conveniently perform venous ultrasound imaging in the office.

Q: What technology and treatments are offered at the facility? A: We specialize in non-surgical vein removal and offer a variety of different treatments such as Radiofrequency Ablation, Clarivein, Phlebectomy, Sclerotherapy and Foam Sclerotherapy. All venous imaging and procedures are done in the office, so it’s very convenient for our patients. The newest treatment we are offering is called CryoSclerotherapy.

Q: What is Cryo-Sclerotherapy? A: We are the only vein center in San Diego to offer Cryo-Sclerotherapy. The treatment

is sclerotherapy (either liquid or foam) in combination with a Cryo device. What this does is cool the surface of the skin before, during, and after injections. It is intended to minimize pain during injections by providing temporary anesthetic relief.

Q: What types of vein disorders do you treat? A: There is a wide spectrum of vein disorders, ranging from simple spider veins to

venous leg ulcers. Both women and men can develop vein conditions at any age, and even the healthiest people can be affected. For some, they are a cosmetic issue while for others, they may represent a serious medical condition. At La Jolla Vein Care, we feel that regardless of the patient’s concern, vein conditions deserve specialized care.

Q: For those individuals considering treatment, what information can you share? A: Over the past decade, there have been advances in the treatment of vein conditions,

which have improved the safety, efficacy, comfort and success of therapy. Newer procedures have replaced old-fashioned vein stripping surgery. We perform minimally invasive vein treatments in the office without anesthesia, and our patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately. The average procedure time is about 60 minutes. There are several different treatment options depending on the type of veins, the extent of the disease, your ultrasound findings and other factors. We encourage perspective patients to come in for a consultation and have our practitioners determine what treatment is best. Health insurance will often cover medically necessary vein treatments as well as specialist consultations and diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Our staff prides itself on taking great care of our patients. We have been voted Best of La Jolla three years in a row!

Koi Wellbeing hosts blood drive FROM KOI WELLNESS REPORTS Koi Wellbeing hosted an event combining community and wellness by partnering with the San Diego Blood Bank to honor Heart Health month, Feb. 17, at 5632 La Jolla Blvd. Leah Freeland, a San Diego native and co-owner of Koi, said she has been donating blood since age 15, when she discovered she was a universal donor: O Negative. Since then she has always had a dream of hosting a blood drive. Freeland and the Koi staff wanted to encourage others to donate blood and as an incentive, Koi offered a free B12 injection with every blood donation. The goal of the event was to make donating blood fun and convenient while encouraging people to give to a critical cause and afterward

experience the benefits of Naturopathic Medicine. Donors were given vitamin injections and treated to gluten-free and vegan delights from Vivacious Dish. Koi was honored to partner with the San Diego Blood Bank and hopes to make this an annual community event. Donating blood not only saves lives, but provides long-lasting benefits for the donor as well, such as lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity. Each time one donates blood, three lives are saved.

FROM AGENDA THIEF, A8 Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory, once to La Jolla Community Planning Association — which was a huge problem and cost people money in attorney’s fees and architect’s fees — and then in advance of this meeting.” City communications officer Tim Graham confirmed the disappearance of the public document, but denied that similar episodes have taken place before. “As far as La Jolla Park & Recreation Center staff can surmise, the missing La Jolla Rec Council agenda has occurred this one time. Staff is not aware of a similar situation occurring at this Recreation Center,” he said. The Brown Act, a 1953 state law that guarantees the public’s right to attend and participate in meetings, requires that regular meetings are publicized through the posting of the agenda at least 72 hours prior. As a community advisory board, the Jan. 25 Park & Rec’s meeting lack of public advertisement forced the board to reschedule. City staff, who according to Graham are not in charge of posting the agendas, noticed the missing agenda on the required posting date. “Staff notified Recreation Council staff as well as Park & Rec management to ensure all parties were aware and the Recreation Council could take action to cancel or reschedule the meeting,” he wrote in an e-mail. Greatrex said the glass cabinet is open for everyone in the community who wishes to announce an event. “We cannot get a lock for the glass case because the City will not allow it, which is not good because this is the third time we’ve had a notice removed,” Greatrex said. Graham said that the posting board is kept unlocked so the community may post items as they see fit. If you have information about the missing agendas, please e-mail it to mduran@lajollalight.com

The variety of issues on the agenda, drew a number of local residents to the Feb. 7 Bird Rock Community Council meeting at Bird Rock Elementary School. FROM BIRD ROCK COUNCIL, A3 said they would happily be at next year’s event. ■ DecoBike: During the public comment period, there was a brief discussion on whether the City’s bike-share program, DecoBike, could soon establish a presence in Bird Rock. The City is proposing bike-share kiosks on La Jolla Boulevard at yet-to-be-disclosed corners. Speaking against the program, meeting attendee Gillian Ackland said, “The City Council is starting to force communities, including La Jolla, to accept DecoBikes. (In Bird Rock), there are several locations proposed with 14 bikes at each stand. They are pushing for the coastal communities because DecoBike has not been successful in other areas of San Diego. Most of their revenue comes from advertising, rather than the bike rentals. They want to come to La Jolla

because the return on the advertising would be better.” Among the reasons she opposes DecoBike, Ackland said that in Pacific Beach, a kiosk was placed “in one of the key gathering areas” with a “very tall advertising pillar” and she did not want to see something similar in Bird Rock. Mauricio Medina, representing District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry, read her statement on the issue: “If the program starts to move forward with any sites in La Jolla, (Bry) will ensure City staff present to community planning groups, work with the community and address any concerns. She’s been assured that City staff will notify her and La Jolla’s community organizations before any steps are taken toward implementing DecoBike in La Jolla.” Bry will reportedly be in attendance at the next BRCC meeting, 6 p.m. Tuesday March 7 at a location to be announced. birdrockcc.org

Transformation Begins with Intention

Seven steps to help La Jolla thrive

BY SHERRY NOORAVI “Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way.” — Abraham Lincoln

hen I first moved to La Jolla, I had no idea that my family and I would not be able to safely cross the street from where we lived (the south side of Torrey Pines Road). My excitement on our first night out to dinner to The Village turned to disbelief and fear when I realized there were no complete sidewalks or pedestrian crossways in a one-mile stretch from Prospect Place to La Jolla Shores Drive. Like a game of “Frogger,” we tentatively Sherry Nooravi crossed two lanes of speeding traffic, stood in the middle for what seemed like an eternity, then crossed the other two lanes. When I was faced with the challenge of standing between four lanes of cars driving 35-50 mph, I knew I had to make a decision — complain for the next 20 years or do something. As a business psychologist who helps companies create thriving workplace cultures, I asked myself, “Why can’t I help my community grow through the efforts of its people?” I consulted my neighbors, hoping they would tell me there was a plan of action to alleviate this dangerous situation. I learned a plan had been developed by the community over many years (Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project), and was subsequently approved by the City Council in late 2008. Initial budgeting for the project began in 2009, yet there had been little action to implement the plan. I was determined to create a way for residents to walk to the Village and Shores businesses by foot, which would bring safety and a healthy lifestyle, while reducing parking congestion. My neighbors and I have a strong belief that concerned citizens can shape a thriving environment, despite obstacles, bureaucracy and all the inevitable challenges that come from creating change. Following is our journey and the change model we used, which can be applied to any type of community change.

The journey to action

From 2009 to 2016, we collaborated with our community, our City Council member and Circulate San Diego to bring awareness for the need to create access so residents and visitors alike could safely cross the street. Our former Council member, Sherri Lightner, supported us in installing pedestrian crossing signs and V-Calms that help drivers know their speed limit

GUEST COMMENTARY and most importantly, she secured funding for this project. Thankfully, our efforts paid off and new Council member Barbara Bry said she will support keeping this project fully funded. Her office has been in contact with City staff and informed that the construction of the project is expected to begin in September 2017. This will be a joyful day for many of us.

Change process drives transformation

We were able to create momentum and push these changes by following a management model I’d like to share with all our leaders and community group members who dedicate their time, talent and treasure to make La Jolla better. Here’s how I used John Kotter’s 7-step change model in for my “Quest for Safety”: ■ Establish a sense of urgency. We urged residents to attend community meetings and met with elected officials to share residents’ views on the need for safer living conditions ■ Form a powerful coalition. As our group spread the news to other neighbors, we slowly grew in size; we communicated regularly through group e-mails ■ Create a vision. We created a vision for a safe, green and clean La Jolla to address the importance of safety, walking instead of driving, and beautification as part of traffic calming ■ Communicate the vision. We did this at community and SANDAG meetings, writing opinions in the La Jolla Light and the website we created (torreypinessafety.org), having Andy Hamilton, former president of Walk San Diego host a Talk and Tour, and we were able to communicate our vision through TV news coverage ■ Empower others to act on the vision. We continually communicated the message that pedestrian and bicyclist safety is a right, not a nice-to-have, and encouraged citizens to reach out to elected officials ■ Plan for short-term wins. Our former Council member promoted this project as her top priority for federal stimulus funds and we received $1.2 million in funding, which we celebrated ■ Build on changes through systems, structures, development. As Residents for Torrey Pines Safety, we continue to spread our message that pedestrian and bicyclist safety is critical throughout San Diego and our country, and we support those who want to create safety in their areas. I was honored to be named “A Voice to Listen to in La Jolla,” and “Citizen of the Year” for these efforts. I continue to share

my best practices so others may learn how to make a difference.

Apply the change model to a thriving La Jolla

When asked how to create a thriving Village, Sheila Fortune, executive director of the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) responded, “If we have more attendance of business owners at our LJVMA meetings, (3 p.m. second Wednesdays at the Riford La Jolla Library) we can better collaborate a plan to support one another and our businesses, which can collectively drive more business to the Village. “We have some great ideas and would love to form a powerful coalition to help us thrive as a community. One strategy LJVMA will begin this year, will be our Block Captain program. Our board will be visiting businesses in our BID district to help them create a social media page, if they do not have one for their business, and then help them with the messaging so that we can build synergy throughout and keep a clear, consistent message to attract business from local residents to international travelers.”

Offer customers something unique

The steps the LJVMA is taking are exciting, and I’m optimistic about the upcoming growth in the Village from the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center (opening in 2019), to the updated Museum of Contemporary Art on the way, to all the new shops and restaurants that have arrived and are arriving. In a recent La Jolla Light interview, commercial realtor Mike Slattery shared retailer trends that include smaller spaces and creative leasing arrangements and predicted that we will end up with higher end tenants that better match our community. The UTC mall may seem like competition, but does it really compete with the beauty of The Village? I’m thrilled to see both thrive and I mirror retailer Nancy Warwick’s sentiment that merchants should offer something unique that you can only get here. My family has many go-to places in the Village like Warwicks, Meanley & Sons Ace Hardware, Lululemon, Elixir, Vons, Ocean Drycleaners and a host of others. We try to shop locally as much as possible and enjoy the relationships we have with those who work at these establishments. I encourage our elected officials and community group members to use these steps of change to further stimulate growth and transformation through collaboration with our community members, merchants and larger San Diego community. — Sherry Nooravi, Ph.D., is an organizational psychologist.

OUR READERS WRITE Just say ‘no’ to blinking crosswalk plan We don’t need more blinking crosswalks, as reported in the Feb. 16 issue, “Plan to landscape and add blinking crosswalk to Girard Avenue coming.” What we need is a culture of people

who stop for pedestrians. Drivers have gotten increasingly reckless around town, and probably all over, but we can role model safe, considerate behavior and have it stick. If La Jolla earns a reputation for being a courteous place to be, visitors will come and behave appropriately. When the driver in front of you stops for pedestrians, it gives you a sense of local customs.

I’ve seen this work in other communities, like Gloucester, Massachusetts. On the other hand, if we turn into a mini Las Vegas with blinking lights everywhere, people will become numb to it and we’ll have to get brighter and louder to make people pay attention. It’s a cultural shift we need, not more noise. Joanie Connell

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) All eyes on Scripps Building D plans Regarding the story in the Feb. 16 issue, “Scripps Building B expansion plans please Shores community,” note that the Building “D” expansion plans do not please me as I miss my old office when I was working at the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFCS) from 1976 to 2011 as a mathematical statistician. I had an ocean view office. The original building included four wings, two of which had beautiful panoramic ocean views, covering the scenery from downtown La Jolla to Blacks Beach, including the Torrey Pines Golf Course. One of the major reasons we were told to move out of the building was because these facilities were deemed too close to the sea cliffs and were in danger of being damaged and/or destroyed by future erosion. I hope the current project will take serious consideration of the possible erosion. Nancy Lo

Killing local pinnipeds is an outrageous suggestion Regarding the relocating the pinnipeds’ letter of Feb. 16 in the La Jolla Light, according to the author, an alternate solution to relocating the pinnipeds in La Jolla is killing them. Just get them out of the way! This seems to be the human response to anything one doesn’t like or agree with — just destroy it, just kill it! Ina Brown

The increase in aircraft over La Jolla is real I attended the meeting the Feb. 15 meeting at the airport, and I was a little disappointed in the board’s response. Thankfully, I was reassured by my neighbors who reported the same experiences I’ve had recently. I’ve lived in La Jolla for eight years — four in Bird Rock and four now at The Shores. I’ve always been appreciative of the quiet skies we’ve had up until now. What I was disappointed in was the board’s response thinking this is an issue of low flying planes or early turns or some other exception. This is a new, constant stream of aircraft, unfortunately, directly over my home. A home that as other residents pointed out was simply not built to be in a

loud flight path. In the most recent article there is a reference to weather increasing the sound of the jets. This may be true, but even on clear days and nights we have new aircraft overhead. This is not the root cause of the issue. It also says the FAA denies any changes have been made to SAN flight paths on the first phase of the Metroplex in early November. I found the following presentation that seems to back up my anecdotes of constant flights over The Shores. The SAN BAYVU was implemented on Nov. 10. See slides 3, 4, and 13: bit.ly/airspacereport I haven’t been able to locate what the previous flight plans were, but I am fairly convinced I have never once heard a commercial jet at my home until recently.

We need regulation that protects the environment The imminent disablement of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will not change the fact that carbon dioxide emissions contribute to global warming. That fact is what scientists report after methodical observation, record keeping and analysis. Although the modern world depends on science, some Trump followers find it convenient to label climate science as a “fraud” perpetuated to deprive them of material benefits. While it is may be impossible to change false beliefs, it is essential to guard against such beliefs infecting others by the alluring short-term convenience of wishful thinking. Immunization comes from honestly reflecting on how one knows what one thinks one knows. I acknowledge that what I know about global warming depends upon my belief in the truth of what scientists tell me. I have confidence in these scientifically determined conclusions for three reasons: 1) I notice scientists test each other’s conclusions with skeptical looking at research data which is stored in libraries open to the public. 2) Unlike dogma, the conclusions of science are dynamically vulnerable to change in response to new observations and thus they provide the best available understanding of what is real in the material world. 3) Many climate scientists work at UC San Diego, neighboring my home, and I do not sense that they have either motive or a value system for lying to me about science. On the other hand, there are some persons who have a motive and value system for denying the conclusions of science when those conclusions are not convenient for their

personal wishes. Consider by analogy the April 14, 1994 Congressional hearing in which tobacco company CEOs declared, under oath, that nicotine is not addictive. As I watched, I felt sorry for men who had sold their souls for corporate profit. According to a July 20, 2016 article in Scientific American, the same public relations methods used to deny cigarette dangers are now in use to deny that carbon dioxide emissions cause harmful climate change. With that background, we need courage and perseverance to have regulation that protects the environment. This is not a minor policy dispute. It is a choice between modernity and dark ages. It is about protecting the business section of La Jolla Shores from loss to a rising sea. John Berol P.S. I disclose that my son is a lawyer employed by the EPA. I believe my opinion exists independently from that fact; the writing of and responsibility for this opinion are entirely mine alone.

Gillipsie students enjoy their International Day

he Gillipsie School held its 14th annual International Day Feb. 3, when parents transformed the 7380 Girard Ave. campus into a celebration of culture and history. Volunteers worked in groups to decorate classrooms, don traditional dress, prepare ethnic foods and share interesting facts about different countries to provide the students with a fun way to learn about life outside the USA. International Day, which began as a social studies project, has grown into one of the most anticipated days of the year, say teachers.

Grant to help Serving Seniors staff ID dementia Serving Seniors announced the launch of the Shiley Dementia/Alzheimer’s Early Detection and Intervention Pilot Program, a service funded through a two-year grant of $100,000 from The Shiley Foundation. The program will provide early detection and referral services for older adults living in the San Diego area who may be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or other diseases of dementia. The grant will support the appropriate training needed for Serving Seniors’ clinical staff, case managers and home-delivered meal drivers so they may be able to identify and detect the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, as well as offer clients necessary assistance and medical referrals. The goal is to keep seniors living independently as long as they are able to do so safely. Serving Seniors anticipates in the first year of the program more than 450 client evaluations will be made. For more information, visit servingseniors.org or call (619) 487-0701.

‘Opening the Outdoors’ funds available Grants funding through the Opening the Outdoors Program and the San Diego Foundation is now available for the 2017 grant cycle, and will prioritize collaborative non-profit projects that protect and connect outdoor spaces and improve outdoor access. Partnerships of two or more can apply for grants ranging from $25,000 to $50,000. Project submissions should address at least two of the following goals: • Increase access/connectivity to trails, parks, and natural amenities in neighborhoods where resources are deficient (access can include transportation and/or activities that make the outdoors more culturally relevant to typically park-poor neighborhoods). • Connect and protect nature through conservation/restoration/acquisition of key lands. • Encourage kids from park-poor communities to safely engage with the natural environment through physical or educational activities. • Build community support for relevant public policies or funding.

Building Bridges, Not Walls

Solidarity Sunday group forms in La Jolla to offer tools for activism BY ASHLEY MACKIN he newly formed La Jolla Chapter of the Solidarity Sundays network has a message for the politically charged women of San Diego: Resist. Get involved. Speak up. To get this message across, chapter members hung a banner across the Torrey Pines Road footbridge on Feb. 14 with the word “resist” on it. The La Jolla branch, formally called Solidarity Sundays San

Diego Coastal Chapter, launched this month and will continue to meet on second Sundays at private homes throughout 92037. The next meeting will be Sunday, March 12. According to the national group’s mission statement, Solidarity Sundays is a network of feminist activist groups focused on taking action to resist the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. They meet to “engage with elected officials; amplify the action items of existing progressive organizations; and build

communities of empowered, educated active feminists who will resist the presidential agenda and work for peace, justice and equity.” At the first La Jolla meeting, there were speakers and a postcard-writing campaign. Co-founder Robin Sinclaire said meetings going forward would provide a way for women (or men) to educate themselves on productive ways to take action on whatever issue compels them.

John Meyer plays piano and sings at the White Sands senior living community.

Where are you from?

“I was born in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), but when I was 10 my father took over my

grandfather’s farm near Wausaw, so I grew up as a farm boy until I went off to college.”

How did your professional life go?

“I was a debate coach at Hamline University (Minnesota). I was head of the Twin Cities debate league, and when I got my Ph.D., I moved to Plattsburgh (New York), and I was there for almost 30 years. At the end of that time, I retired and met this wonderful lady, Carolyn Shadle, and I’ve been following her around ever since. She can’t get rid of me.”

How did you end up in La Jolla?

“I was an instructor at the University of Minnesota — shoveling snow and freezing my pants off in 30-degrees below zero weather — and I said, ‘There must be a better place in the continental United

States.’ So I went out and got a map and found that San Diego, California has the best year-round temperature and it never snows or freezes there. I thought, ‘Someday I’m going to retire and I want to retire there.’ My wife became dean in the University of Denver in 1999, and I followed her. Wherever she goes, I want to be there. She’s moved from there to other universities in California, and we kept getting closer and closer to San Diego. She knew I always wanted to retire in San Diego, and then we discovered this place, and fell in love with White Sands. So we moved here.”

What did you teach?

“The classical name for what I taught was ‘rhetoric,’ but they changed it to Speech, Communication or Communication Studies, so it’s evolved through the years. But that was my major ever since I started SEE JOHN MEYER, B6

Lemon Law: Let’s put the squeeze on sourpusses

La Jolla Cultural Partners

fter I recently treated myself to an anti-aging birthday facial, I was reminiscing of an incident years ago when my girlfriend and I indulged in a spa day of pampering, including a stress-relieving massage, invigorating facial and light, healthy lunch. Sipping on a cool glass of lemon-infused water while waiting for the facialist in a dimmed room, the heady scent of eucalyptus and background chorus of tropical Rainforest birds filling my senses, I noticed a pile of cut lemons on a plate. I reached for one, and squirted more juice into my glass. While taking a good swig of the thirst-quencher, the esthetician entered the room. She alarmingly asked what I had been doing with the cut lemon as those were used on the previous client to treat her acne break out. Yikes! It was then I learned of the many uses of the marvelous citrus, which I can now laughingly share with you. The lip-puckering juicy lemon, a native of the Himalayan foothills of the North Eastern region of India, and close relative to other acidic fruits (including the orange, grapefruit and tangerine) has global appeal, adding a salty and tangy essence to many ethnic and mainstream dishes. Every part of this sassy citrus is delightful — the juice, pulp, skin or

zest and even the leaves can be used to make minty or fruity lemonades or Arnold Palmers, sweet and savory sauces, vinaigrettes, soups like Greek lemon chicken called avgolemeno, pilafs, piccatas, risottos and pasta dishes. This sunny fruit particularly enlivens seafood treasures (crab cakes, shrimp cocktail, poached salmon, to mention a few) and steamed greens, along with scrumptious baked goods and desserts (meringue pies, tarts, ricotta pancakes, sorbets, silky curds, scones, biscottis and muffins), and let’s not forget lemon-based cocktails. It also prevents cut apples from oxidizing and turning brown, while keeping guacamole green. Beyond the kitchen, lemon has a slew of beauty, health and household uses. It makes your pearls sparkle, controls gum bleeding, freshens your breath, lightens your hair and makes it shine, soothes insect bites, removes pesky warts, and wards off free radicals keeping skin supple and glowing. There’s more. The botanical berry calms upset tummies, tempers a hangover headache, puts the skids on crystals that form into kidney stones, and pushes colds and flu under the bus by boosting the immune system with its load of Vitamin C. Also packed with essential minerals from

SDYS CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

calcium and copper to potassium and iron, the mighty citrus ratchets up blood and bone health, and maintains fluid balance. While its store of B-complex vitamins bolsters the nervous system, its A’s amp eye health. Some helpful home tips include using lemons to neutralize kitty litter boxes, freshen fridges, remove stains from clothing and give your duds a botanical fragrance, and polish pots and pans.

But not all lemons are created equal

The popular elliptically-shaped Eureka with thick knobby yellow rind comes in two varieties —pale and pink fleshed, the latter creating a quintessential summer delight of pink lemonade. Eureka’s sour sibling, the practically seedless Lisbon variety has a thinner more refined rind, and yields more juice. While the mellow Meyer, not considered a true lemon since it’s a hybrid cross likely between a lemon and a mandarin, has supple orange-tinged skin, and a sweeter, less acidic juice. To pick a winner look for firm, bright, glossy yellow skin. It should have good heft for its size, and be free of wrinkles, blemishes and soft spots. For juicier lemons, choose thinner-skinned ones, and where possible buy organic, especially when zesting. In my travels I’ve discovered beautiful Mason jars stuffed with silken-skinned preserved lemons in a tangy brine. These pickled wonders are not only the cornerstone of fragrant Moroccan stews (tagines) of chicken, lamb, beef, and fish, but dial up everything from vinaigrettes, vegetarian dishes and fruit salads to Bloody Marys, tapenades, sauces and salsas.

COURTESY

Preserved Lemons ■ Ingredients: 6 lemons (your choice), 4 tablespoons kosher or sea salt, 1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1 bay leaf, 1 cinnamon stick (optional), 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 pint-size Mason jar ■ Method: Slice lemons in quarters, careful to keep intact at the stem end. Place 1 tablespoon of salt at the bottom of the jar and stuff remaining salt into cut lemons, closing the segments so the fruits are kept whole. Place lemons, peppercorns, bay leaf and cinnamon stick in Mason jar, and enough lemon juice to immerse the lemons. Tightly cover and keep in a warm spot in your kitchen for about one month until fully ripened. Refrigerate and use for up to six months.

Oceanic Oddities

Artist imagines sea creatures rising from plastics pollution LET’S REVIEW

WILL BOWN

Pinar Yoldas’ art conjures new sea creatures that may arise in response to all the plastic in the ocean.

BY WILL BOWEN In school, we learned that the Pleistocene Age was the era when elephants and saber-toothed tigers prowled the land and were hunted by ancient men armed with long spears. But we were never taught about the Plastiocene Age, and that is a problem! There is an almost universal lack of awareness about how in the Plastiocene Age — plastic refuse in the form of disposable water bottles and plastic bags, etc. — has polluted the environment, especially our oceans. This age of pollution by plastics is the most recent stage of the Anthropocene Epoch, the era which dates from the commencement of a significant human impact on the Earth’s ecology and ecosystems, that is, when the footprint of mankind began to alter the environment in ways that were not so good. Artist/scientist Pinar Yoldas hopes to change all that. She explores the issue in a new exhibition, “An Ecosystem of Excess,” which opened Feb. 2 at the Calit2 Art Gallery in Atkinson Hall at UC San Diego. The problem, according to Yoldas, is imperceptibility. People are just not aware of what is happening to the environment. Through her artwork, she hopes to inspire people to think about the repercussions of their actions and make better choices. Yoldas said she grew up in Turkey where people were so

poor they did not have enough of anything to create waste or pollution. She was completely shocked when she came West and saw our mass consumption through all the waste and trash we generate, and all the pollution we create. The experience affected her so much that she decided she would do something about it. “It makes me so sad,” she lamented, “All the pollution ... our oceans have turned into a plastic soup!” “Plastic, like from old water bottles,” she continued, “is the most abundant form of marine debris. Marine scientists first discovered it floating round and round with other trash in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a place in the ocean, whose mass is contributed to by all the nations of the world, and where the currents endlessly swirl garbage round and round. It’s huge — between 700,000 and 1.5 million square kilometers in diameter! “A plastic soup has resulted, which I call The Plastisphere, and in less than 20 years, it has become part of the food chain in the oceans. Now, at the microscopic level, tiny sea creatures are living on plastic debris, interacting with it, and creating new forms of life!” Jules Jaffe, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who studies the ocean on the microscopic level, backed up Yoldas’ claims. Jaffe was part of a panel that convened to discuss her art work at a recent Calit2 Gallery opening. “The scientific fact is that all organisms in the ocean now have micro plastics in them,” Jaffe said. “Interactions with these micro plastics are creating random mutations

www.lajollalight.com on the genetic level, paving the way for the development of new creatures.” Jessica Block, a professor of geomorphology, geology and paleoclimateolgy, was also present for the panel discussion. Block remarked, “In the future, geologists will be able to look back and find plastics in the segmentation and date precisely when we started polluting the oceans and the planet with plastic waste.” Yoldas’ exhibition will run through March 17. The show is a combination of oceanography, art and speculative biology. Yoldas said she imagined, and then created with a 3D printer, some new sea creatures that may arise in response to all the plastic now in the ocean. She has these creatures floating in glass, aquarium-like cylinders through which air is bubbled. In the background, projected on a wall, and in the hallway on a large screen, explanatory videos play. The exhibition is part of a larger series of work that uses art to help people think about what they’re doing to the environment. Yoldas’ pieces, which have created quite a stir, show throughout the world in galleries in Taiwan, Moscow, Istanbul, Berlin and Beijing. She said one of her shows was motivated by the sobering fact that at least one million seabirds die each year from poisoning by plastics. In addition, at least a quarter of all seabirds have swallowed whole, intact bottle caps that are inside their systems, and which may eventually kill them. Yoldas said she got to thnking, “What if the red dye from a Coca Cola bottle cap inside a seabird got into its blood stream and affected its DNA so the color of its feathers changed?” Would that create a new sub species? To illustrate the possibility, she created an entire art show filled with strangely colored feathers made by way of her 3D printer. Yoldas said she’s been a hard worker and a good student, studying both the arts and sciences her whole life. She gave her first solo art show when she was only five years old and won a bronze medal in the Science Olympics in Turkey when she was a teen.

“When I moved here in 2008, someone found out that I liked to sing, so the activities director at White sands, who at that time was Cee Barangan, said, ‘Why don’t you come up and sing with us?’ I said, ‘Sure.’ So I started singing with the groups here, and that’s how it got started. She was gracious in giving me recommendations, so I’ve sung at Casa de Mañana, Wesley Palms, Sunrise, and I sing for a veteran’s home in Chula Vista and another dozen places.”

lady was sitting down here at White Sands and she wasn’t speaking much at all. I sat down with her, one-on-one, and I said, ‘Will you sing a song with me?’ and she didn’t say a word. And I said, ‘Well, I’m going to sing a song, and if you happen to know it, please sing with me.’ She sat there without making eye contact, looking down, and then I noticed that while I was singing her foot was tapping to the music. Finally, her eyes came up and she started singing. I thought, ‘This is a miracle!’ It happened because music is still there, in the right side of the brain, and if you find the right kind of song, there it is.”

Most contractors want an architect to already have plans drawn up before they sign on. Some contractors may make recommendations for good architects, or you may know one already by reputation. Always check their credentials and make sure they’re reputable and have experience in designing luxury homes.

When you meet with the architect, have some design ideas already in mind. Maybe you’ve taken pictures of a friend’s home, or maybe you’ve been looking through home and design magazines. These can help give your architect a good idea of what you want. Consulting with a home designer may also be beneﬁcial—these designers can help you develop your vision and even make recommendations on putting your team together. Keep in mind the design elements won’t be put into play until after much of the structure of your luxury home is already in place. Your architect won’t need to know if you want tile versus wood or plush carpet. Your architect will need to know if you want an open ﬂoor plan. But when designing your luxury home, and especially if you have an eye toward resale, you want to make sure you include the following: The big en suite bedroom. And not just big—you want to hear an echo. Airy, well-lit spaces are luxury home buyers’ number one request. Do you plan to spend a lot of time in the bedroom? Think about how your property is situated. Do you prefer privacy or a view?

You’ll want to utilize the view where you’ll be spending most of your time. If that’s in the bedroom, a bay window with a reading bench is a bonus design touch. For the en suite bathroom, always go with more, especially to increase the value of your luxury home. In fact, instead of thinking bathroom, think “spa retreat.” The shower itself should be a showstopper, the shower cubicle either coved, open, whatever you want, but it should be very large. Large enough to ﬁt a recording studio for all those high notes you’ll hit when singing your ‘80s hair band covers. Closets—or dressing rooms? Both, since your luxury closet should be the size of a room. The closet space should be airy, big, and have enough room to walk around in. Keep in mind that a closet or dressing room may seem big in the plans, but once the builders install the shelving and any dressers, the space will be greatly reduced. Make sure the architect plans accordingly. Have as many additional bedrooms and guest rooms as space allows. While theoretically this may attract more out of town visitors for

extended stays than you want, luxury homes should be able to house a small athletic team or camera crew. And the rooms should have enough space to entice the guests to stay in there (especially if you prefer a quiet house to yourself). Every room should have more than enough closet space, even if it’s where you end up ditching your own vacation or winter clothes. A luxury home should never run out of storage space. Consider closets large enough to have built-in dressers to allow for more space in the actual room. A celebrity chef kitchen. Even if you eat out every night or only consume smoothies, your luxury home needs to have a top-of-the-line kitchen. The open-versus-closed ﬂoor plan is entirely up to you, but the size needs to be massive, with plenty of counter space and room for seating more people than actually live there. http://www.lajollalight.com/ourcolumns/sponsored-columnists/sdbuilding-your-luxury-home-20170113story.html

Hal Linden as Gaston, Luna Vélez as Germaine, Donald Faison as Freddy, Justin Long as Einstein, and Liza Lapira as Suzanne in ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’ at The Old Globe.

Heady, hearty laughs abound in Old Globe’s ‘Lapin Agile’ LET’S REVIEW BY DIANA SAENGER Comedian Steve Martin brings another masterpiece to The Old Globe Theatre with his version of “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” on stage through March 12. In the early 1900s, struggling artists, comedians, writers and intellectuals (and maybe a surprise entertainer), make their happy hangout the Lapin Agile, a small and friendly bar in Paris. Popular artist Pablo Picasso (Philippe Bowgen) is a regular and always welcomed by bartenders Freddy (Donald Faison) and Germaine (Luna Vélez). Other notables show up frequently, some just to see the famous Picasso. Things get really interesting when Albert Einstein (Justin Long) arrives. There is a spirited discourse between the two geniuses, each trying to one-up the other in intelligence. While Picasso is all about his art and interpretation, Einstein leaps into subjects like the Theory of Relativity. A more entertaining visitor at the bar is Suzanne (Liza Lapira), who arrives to wait for Picasso to show up. She reveals that they once had an intimate night together and she’s hoping to renew that relationship. Meanwhile, she fiddles

around the bar entertaining an old man there, Gaston (Hal Linden), who — kudos to Martin’s witty dialogue — has a comeback for her being called a “Countess,” and for almost everything else she says or does — especially when she takes off her top ... Einstein eagerly engages anyone in the bar in deep conversations, but his favorite is still Picasso. They banter back and forth, and things liven up even more when customers Sagot (Ron Orbach) and Charles Dabernow Schmendiman (Marcel Spears) show up. They take over the conversation mainly about a portrait of sheep on the wall behind the bar. If this isn’t enough to keep the laughs coming, there’s another surprise visitor who no one would imagine seeing at this unique bar. More laughs arrive with his appearance. Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein did a great job directing this production, and The Globe design team created a sweet and attractive bar that feels real. Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” is definitely a play not to miss. ■ IF YOU GO: “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” plays through March 12 on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $36. (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org

FROM ACTIVISM, B1 “Our mission is to encourage people to be upstanders not bystanders,” she said. “You can’t get involved with everything, but you can get involved in something and make your voice heard. Whatever your issue is — climate change, the travel ban, women’s rights, LGBT rights, the wall — pick an issue and get involved. They are equally important and need a voice. “I have three daughters and hearing how the Administration talks about women and wants to regulate women’s bodies is something I needed to act on.” She said environmental issues and racial tension are also issues about which she is passionate. For co-founder Judy Adams-Halter, one of the motivating issues is the rights of refugees, in light of the recent presidential Executive Order banning entry to the USA to immigrants from certain countries. This prevented some refugees from finding sanctuary here. “I had heard about the group after the election, and thought about getting involved, but when the travel ban went into effect, I was in,” she said. “I care about my country and the principles on which it was founded. People came to this country for a better life. And that new blood coming in and working hard is what makes our country great.” Adams-Halter has worked with refugees for the last five years (primarily in schools with refugee students) and provides mentoring opportunities and tutoring. “(The election and travel ban) really lit my patriotism on fire because our country is so great and it’s because of the people who come here. I couldn’t sit back and just watch all that was happening,” she said. Apparently, neither could the 60 others who attended the inaugural Solidarity Sundays San Diego Coastal chapter meeting. At the gathering, they heard from speakers with knowledge of the democratic process who immigrated to this country, and wrote postcards to government officials. “We got a list of contact information for government representatives and scripts on what to say if we called. We also got a (schedule) of what was being discussed and when, so we knew when our calls would be most productive. We also wrote thank-you cards to those who crossed party lines to vote for what’s right, and notes to our Congress members to encourage them to support important legislation or oppose the

things being talked about that could be really damaging,” Adams-Halter said. Sinclaire added that spurring civic engagement is what the group is all about. “We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel and be the most important resistance group in the world, just work together to increase civic engagement and not take for granted what an amazing country we have,” she said. “I’m not really political, but there is so much going on right now, I needed to do something.” Also inspired, Haida Mohjedhi, who immigrated to La Jolla from Iran during the Iranian Revolution in 1979, felt motivated to speak. “I’m an involved member of the community and I have children in La Jolla schools. I wanted to talk about the effect the anti-Muslim and xenophobic rhetoric has had on people like me, and my friends and family,” she later told La Jolla Light. “Right now, my worry is for my children, who were born here, but with the travel ban, they now have this stamp of being different. “Thankfully it hasn’t happened to my children, but a lot of Muslim and immigrant families are hearing they need to go back because when people hear the leader of their country say that, they think it’s OK. They reply, ‘This is our country, where are we supposed to go?’ ” But with the tools to take action and confidence in the groundswell of support in the room, Mohjedhi said she is optimistic going forward. “It was great to see all these different forces come together with a united voice saying these divisive attitudes are not what we believe are America’s core values. I remember thinking ‘this is a Sunday afternoon and all these people are here for this cause.’ People gave their time and passed on commitments because it was important for them to be educated and show support.” At the end of the meeting, the group decided to make their presence known, with the “Resist” banner they later hung. “We were so motivated,” Adams-Halter said. “We wanted to motivate others to use their voice while using a positive, encouraging message. The silver lining to this election is people have really started to pay attention and are coming together to get involved.” ■ Want to learn more?

LA JOLLA GEMS OF THE WEEK

Hail the Blue Agave Plant The harmonious works of artists Cree Scudder and Hilary Brady

“Tequila: By the Producers Themselves,” a production by Elvira Mercedes Abad Solis, is brought to you by the National Chamber of the Tequila Industry and the Tequila Regulatory Council. This 161-page book involves a virtual journey through the senses, aromas, landscapes, flavors, legends and the art of producing tequila. Rich with photos, recipes and stories, the paperback is available from amazon.com

PHOTOS BY JANE WHEELER

Diverse collection of art at café in February

BY JANE WHEELER Several local artists are displaying their latest works in a diverse collection through the month of February at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, 5627 La Jolla Blvd. Cree Scudder and Hilary Brady share wall space with their harmonious balance of color and composition, while Mary Behnam features several of her meditative-inspired abstracts on the north wall. Underwater nature photographer and dive master Jonathan Lavan showcases an environmental visual journey highlighting the animals and people of Anilao, Philippines in his series and story titled “A Fragile Balance.” Here is an excerpt: “Most of the wonderful, friendly people who live in this amazing country live near the ocean. It is an integral part of their lives. It is where they get their main source of protein, where they bathe and where many of them work. Most live on or below the poverty line. As populations increase worldwide

Mary Behnam and her abstracts at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters café and local infrastructure and municipalities can’t keep up with the waste produced, all the amazing and vital creatures come under a greater and greater threat. What will be the tipping point? “My favorite dive site in Anilao was simply called ‘Pier.’ It was where all the locals met to swim.

The first time we went happened to coincide with the first day of summer vacation. School was out and the kids and their families were everywhere. We sat there in our balangay (boat), waiting for dusk (which at the Equator is always right on the dot at 6 p.m.) watching the beautiful kids playing in the water and waiting for it to get dark enough for a night dive. Then we would slip into the warm ocean and see the most amazing creatures in a mere 15 feet of water. “During the day I would spend the latter part of my dive collecting garbage. Most of it was plastic. As many know, every piece of plastic that has ever been produced still exists. We all need to use less plastic. We need to decide what our priorities are as a species and whether we want to be here in 100 years. It’s not about saving the planet, it’s about saving us. These wonderful kids and equally wonderful creatures have a right to a clean planet they can thrive in.”

Wish I’d Said That! “Every experience in your life is being orchestrated to teach you something you need to know to move forward.” — Brian Tracy

True or False? March 1 is Ash Wednesday. True. For Christians, Ash Wednesday gets its name from the practice of blessing ashes made from palm branches blessed on the previous year’s Palm Sunday, and placing them in the image of a cross on the foreheads of participants to the words, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” As a sign of repentance, the practice kicks off the Lenten (fasting) Season leading up to Easter Sunday, April 16. Ash Wednesday is preceded by Shrove Tuesday, aka Fat Tuesday (Feb. 28 this year), which refers to events of the Carnival celebrations and indulgences that must end by the start of Lent — repentance — the next day.

Budding Botanists At the library, young scientists study plants

uring the Feb. 17 Big Science for Little People event at La Jolla Riford Library, would-be botanists learned about plants and leaves, and got a close look at them with a microscope. Living Coast Discovery Center education instructor Jennifer Paulus helped attendees examine leaves — including how they smell and even taste! — and she encouraged them to draw four different kinds of leaves, noting the various features. The next free “Big Science” event is 10 a.m. Friday, March 17 on the topic of “Making ‘sense’ of it all” at 7555 Draper Ave. lajollalibrary.org — Ashley Mackin
