FAA flight path changes kick in March 2

La Jollan will get seat on noise subcommitee City issues opinion on La Jolla Cove sea lions situation, A21

■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The expected changes in flight paths and air traffic operations included in the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Southern California

Metroplex Project for the San Diego International Airport go into effect Thursday, March 2. Metroplex is a comprehensive plan implemented across the country that replaces outdated air routes using satellite technology, and in Southern California, it will separate certain flight paths that occurred in the same air space. The March 2 changes that may affect La Jolla

include the replacement of departure route “LNSAY” with “ECCHO.” Aircraft going north will turn on a satellite point, instead of a physical beacon as has been done so far. This route is the one allegedly affecting Bird Rock residents, who’ve complained that they can hear departing planes turning north closer to the coast than they did in the past. SEE FLIGHT PATH, A3

Honoring Our Historic Heritage

La Jolla Landmarks Week celebrates preservation efforts, March 11-18 BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Like a mother talking about her child, Seonaid McArthur, chair of the La Jolla Landmark Group, describes her historically designated home at 391 Via del Norte. “(My home) is a Spanish Revival

from 1930. Just after the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, the craftsmen skilled at wood-carving were still in San Diego (and they created) these beautiful doors and windows … I’ve never seen anything like it,” she said, proudly pointing to

her front door’s stained glass, depicting early San Diego scenes. McArthur will be one of the hosts of La Jolla Landmarks Week, presenting the opening event at her Herbert Mann-designed home. “Feasting on History,” which

doubles as a fundraiser for La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS), will take place Saturday, March 4, and will be followed by a series of workshops and celebrations of La Jolla’s historical heritage. SEE LANDMARKS WEEK, A18

How to file an airplane noise complaint ■ Visit webtrak5.bksv.com/san and wait 30 minutes for the system to register the passing flight. Click on the aircraft and then on “report aircraft.” ■ Send an e-mail to airnoise@san.org or call (619) 400-2799 (English), (619) 400-2797 (Spanish). ■ Information required for complaint: Name and last name, address, disturbance time, aircraft type (jet, propeller or other), operation type (arrival or departure) and flight number (if known). FROM FLIGHT PATH, A1 For the arrivals route that goes over La Jolla Shores, the landing route “COMIX STAR” replaces the current “BAYVU STAR.” The air path will remain largely the same, but the difference will be in the way aircraft perform the descent. Traditionally, pilots descend and then use their engines to level off, and repeat. The new satellite technology will allow planes to “idle down” in their approaches, saving fuel, reducing CO2 emissions and lowering landing noises. The FAA has repeatedly stated that the project, whose execution started in November 2016, had not implemented changes that could affect La Jolla residents. However, the Airport Authority has received scores of complaints from La Jollans, which started in fall 2016, that allege they’ve been experiencing aircraft noise levels unknown to the area before. The FAA said in a statement that not all aircraft will fly the new routes as soon as they are implemented. “Controllers will still have to occasionally direct aircraft off the routes for weather, safety and sequencing. Also, some aircraft are still not equipped to fly the routes, and some pilots are not qualified to fly the routes,” wrote public affairs manager Ian Gregor in a statement. The FAA maintains that the changes are not likely to affect communities that weren’t previously impacted. “Throughout

E US O ; H 8 ENB +@& P O .,

the SoCal Metroplex Project area, the vast majority of new routes will have aircraft flying within the areas where they previously flew,” it stated. During a workshop Feb. 2 at Solana Vista Elementary, FAA personnel told La Jolla residents that the March 2 changes will likely alleviate the flight path nuisances that affect them. However, a document drafted by the residents alleges that their initial review shows the changes may both help and hurt the sound situation in La Jolla. “There will be a 6-month evaluation period for these Metroplex changes. During that period, problems — which should include noise issues — will be uncovered,” the document states.

La Jolla representation

During the Feb. 15 Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) meeting, a seat opened for a La Jolla representative to sit on the ANAC Subcommittee. (La Jolla doesn’t currently have direct representation on this subcommittee.) An application for the seat was made available to the public on the airport website, and the decision as to who that new member will be, will be reached before March 10 so new rep can attend the March 15 ANAC Subcommittee meeting. La Jolla Shores Heights resident Chris McCann volunteered to put his 30 years of experience as a pilot to work serving La Jollans as their representative. “There has been an unprecedented increase in the number of noise complaints from people in La Jolla, in particular from Bird Rock, yet we lack a designated point of contact through which to have these concerns addressed by the Airport Authority,” he told La Jolla Light.

Upcoming meetings

• The Airport Authority Board meets 9 a.m. Thursday, March 2 at San Diego International Airport Administration Building, Third Floor, 3225 N. Harbor Drive. san.org/Airport-Authority/Meetings-Agendas/ANAC • The ANAC Subcommittee meets (time TBA) Wednesday, March 15 at San Diego International Airport Administration Building, Third Floor, 3225 N. Harbor Drive. san.org/Airport-Authority/Meetings-Agendas under “ANAC Subcommittee.”

This FAA map shows the upcoming COMIX STAR landing path and its approach over La Jolla Shores. Aircraft flying over the area should keep an altitude of 7,000 to 8,000 feet.

Worn play structures at the La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St., have been in place for decades. An opportunity to modernize the playground sits before the board.

La Jolla Park & Rec Board has a commitment of $350,00 to use for a new ADA-compliant playground. Question is: What kind of playscape would best serve the community?

Park & Rec board seeks more input on playground re-do

Looking for a theme, structure types, designs and layouts BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla’s Park & Recreation board is struggling to move forward with upgrades to the Rec Center playground, due to a lack of suggestions since it asked for public feedback late last year.

Pending one detailed presentation, specific ideas for a possible $350,000 playground renovation — including themes, types of structures, layout and more — have not been forthcoming. The board discussed the challenge during its Feb. 22 meeting at the Rec Center, and cited possible reasons for the input shortage as: a lack of public knowledge about the project, people with broad concepts rather than specific ideas, and questions on what City requirements must be met in designing a new playground.

To resolve these issues, the board decided to dedicate its March 22 meeting to compiling information, and to staffing a question-and-answer booth at the Rec Center’s Spring Egg Hunt on April 15. The board presented the idea of updating the playground during a community meeting on Dec. 8, at which dozens of parents, playground users and playscape design firms offered feedback. The board said it received a commitment of $350,000 from an anonymous group of donors, who requested the community weigh-in on how to best use

the money to improve the outdated play structures. However, given the lack of forward momentum, one board member stressed urgency on the matter and said she was worried the donors “might get nervous,” and possibly withdraw their support. One idea to come forward involves a complete overhaul of the playground, including moving basketball courts and redesigning the play structures for children. However, concerns including fencing, additional cost (and time) and basketball court location are making the board hesitant.

La Jolla Park & Rec, Inc. members Mary Coakley Munk, Gail Forbes, Lizzet FitzCluster, Pat Miller, Carolyn Parrish and Jill Peters at the Feb. 22 meeting Opined member Lizzet FitzCluster, “In the past, we talked about the look of the Rec Center, and having fences surrounding it made people think it looked like a jail ... we, specifically (board member) Hobe Schroeder, worked very hard to look at different types of fencing, and the plan that was brought to us last month — bringing the courts to the front near the Draper Avenue entrance with even more fencing — goes against what we previously discussed. Plus, many parents use the Draper Avenue entrance and it can be intimidating for young children to walk past basketball courts.” Additional challenges to this plan included higher costs and questionable feasibility.

Overcoming obstacles

The board cited a lack of public awareness for the lack of feedback. Community member Hilary Daly, in attendance to offer a parent’s perspective, said, “My kids go to The

Bishop’s School (which is right next to the Rec Center) and I’ve talked to other parents and they have no idea about this project or that these discussions are going on.” Further, it was noted there is not a dedicated website nor phone number for sharing playground renovation ideas. The only option is to attend the 5 p.m. fourth Wednesdays meetings at the Rec Center each month or e-mail chair Cindy Greatrex at cindy.greatrex@diplomats.com “At the community meeting in December, we got lots of ideas. We took notes with what everyone wanted and we should review those (at a future meeting),” said member Bill Robbins. These suggestions included more sitting spaces, better safety, ADA-compliant play structures, adding a mechanism for shade, using marine weather-resistant materials, replacing items that are rusted or cracking, and incorporating structures that encourage creativity.

However, member Carolyn Parrish pointed out, “We need more than a ‘wish-list.’ That could go on for the next 10 years. We need to pare it down, refine it and get some real plans that people could look at.” Member Pat Miller said the public was not likely aware of the limitations facing the board when it comes to ADA-compliance and working with existing City infrastructure. “If we re-do the playground, it has to be ADA-compliant. And with that comes special conditions, such as the spacing of the play structures and pieces of equipment,” she said. “What we’ve learned since the first meeting is, if we wanted to just replace the existing equipment exactly as it is, we couldn’t do that because there isn’t enough space between the structures. One of the ideas behind moving the basketball courts is that it would give us more play space, given the ADA requirements. There are things we

PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN

are learning as we’re going and the community needs to know these things, too.” The February meeting’s acting chair Mary Coakley Munk added that the board would need to review City infrastructure plans to know what sits under the Rec Center. “The City has new drainage requirements, and we would need to – regardless of what we end up doing – get a survey done of the underground infrastructure. We need to have a definite understanding of how things drain, the way they are, etc. … We can say ‘this is what we want to do,’ but we can’t do anything until we know what our limitations are. The survey will tell us what we can do.” — La Jolla Park & Rec, Inc. next meets 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 22 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. Those with ideas for the playground renovation are encouraged to attend and present their suggestions.

COURTESY

The WindanSea Surf Shack was reportedly built in 1947 by former soldiers of World War II ‘for shade and aloha.’

A Plaque for The Shack

Proof of historical designation comes to WindanSea

BY ASHLEY MACKIN A plaque recognizing the Surf Shack at WindanSea beach as a historical landmark has finally been installed — 70 years after the iconic La Jolla shelter was first constructed. The Shack got its historical designation May 27, 1998, but due to the “aloha spirit” of the surfers behind the designation, the plaque was a little slow in coming.

for shade and aloha.” According to the “Historical Landmarks Designated by the San Diego Historical Resources Board” document that identifies such sites, the Surf Shack at WindanSea Beach (6800 Neptune Place) is the “oldest continuously used shelter of its kind on the West Coast.” Melinda Merryweather, one of those responsible for the designation and later the plaque, said The Shack needed the protection that comes with designation, in case it were ever destroyed. “It was built by surfers, not a

formal construction company, and a while back we thought, ‘we need some assurance in case it comes down.’ Lo and behold, it did come down during a storm and we were able to rebuild it as it was,” she said. “We admit, it was a farfetched idea to designate a shack, because it’s not some important house or building, but we wanted to do it. For me, it’s a church in my neighborhood. I christened my son there. It’s the heart of our surfing community.” Among other criteria, historic designation typically goes to properties identified with

‘Sunbeam’ cottage fails City historical designation BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A 1911 beach cottage built at 1271 Cave St. recently came before the City of San Diego Historical Resources Board (HRB) under the 45-year review rule, a historical screening process triggered by an application to fix up, change or demolish a building age 45 or older. With one story, square shape and wood shingles, the construction represented many characteristics of the Craftsman style, featured in most early La Jolla beach cottages from 1880 to 1930. (See story on A18.) But a series of additions in the form of gables, sheds and a brick chimney and fireplace across the façade distorted that image, and eventually prevented the HRB from designating the property “historical” when it came up for review during its Feb. 23 meeting. Property owners Babak Roboubi and Marjan Keramati, who reside in Maryland, were not present at the HRB meeting. The additions to the property started as early as 1936 with re-roofing (also in 1939 and 1943). The chimney and fireplace were added in 1943. The independent consultant’s report, prepared by attorney Scott Moonjian, recommended the board not designate the property. “The original size, appearance and the character of the property have been radically changed, so it no longer reflects its original design construction,” Moonjian writes. The City of San Diego Historical Resources staff’s report agreed with the consultant, recommending the board not designate the

The 1911 ‘Sunbeam’ cottage, and its 1943 brick chimney addition at 1271 Cave St., did not meet the requirements for a ‘historic’ designation from the City of San Diego. property. It almost passed without designation on the consent agenda, but HRB chair Courtney Coyle pulled the item for full review at the Feb. 23 meeting. “I pulled this because I think we need to have a discussion about it ... we have so few of these properties,” she explained, adding that as a resident of La Jolla, this type of building is “near and dear” to her heart. HRB trustee Priscilla Berge stated, “We have designated La Jolla cottages ‘historical’

that have had modifications, but the designation is under Criterion A (structures that are significant to the history of a community) and not under Criterion C (structures that are architecturally significant), so we’re not focusing so much on the architecture characteristics.” City senior planner Kelley Stanco replied that historical resources staff had, in the past, recommended La Jolla cottages be designated regardless of modifications, “but

we are recommending against designation in this instance, not only because of the cumulative modifications, but very significant changes to the front façade with the chimney. This building now feels like a Mid-Century cottage,” she said. In the 1955 book “La Jolla Year by Year,” by Howard Randolph, a picture of the cottage with the name “Sunbeam,” is included, but no further information. Also, as the independent consultant’s report indicated, the property wasn’t documented in any other historic inventory of the era. Still Coyle insisted, “What I struggle with, on this one, is that it’s a ‘name’ cottage, and a bungalow of La Jolla, we don’t have a lot of them. From my standpoint, it is a surviving example of the properties that played an important role in the development of La Jolla. For those of us who live in La Jolla, we get sort of attached to our name cottages.” HRB trustee Todd Pitman offered, “there is an argument to be made about Criterion A, but I just don’t feel that this particular resource has the ability to convey that history ... it’s just too varied, it doesn’t read as that type of cottage to me.” Berge put forward a motion to designate the property as “historical” under Criterion A, but the motion failed 2-4-0. Coyle concluded that she was glad the discussion happened “regardless of the motion,” and hoped that the independent consultant took notes as to what information to include for the HRB in future reports.

Cluster group discusses school Foundation funding limits

ASHLEY MACKIN

La Jolla Cluster president John May (left) leads a discussion on budgeting, scheduling and more at the Cluster Association meeting, Feb. 16 in the Muirlands Middle School library.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN A recent San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) decision could affect where the money from La Jolla’s school foundations goes. At the Feb. 16 La Jolla Cluster Association meeting at Muirlands Middle School, the topic of the 2017-2018 Budget and how foundation contributions can (and cannot) be allocated, was discussed. The La Jolla Cluster Association includes representation from La Jolla’s five public schools: La Jolla High, Muirlands Middle and La Jolla, Bird Rock and Torrey Pines elementaries. In the course of annual budget planning, teachers receive a site-based budget in early February, and for most, this year’s budget had slightly less cash, and it noted that foundation funds could be used for “certified” personnel such as teachers, but not “classified” personnel such as nurses and librarians. Each of La Jolla’s Cluster schools have privately-funded foundations that support programing. La Jolla Elementary School Principal Donna Tripi opened, “Our discretionary money was cut 10 percent, so for us, it didn’t make much of a difference. The only other thing (SDUSD) said is they were centralizing some of the positions we have in staffing allocations. We can hire professional experts and teachers, but no classified staff … When we got a one-day allocation for a nurse and two days for a health tech, the foundation paid for

Bird Rock Elementary School principal Amanda Hale, teacher Jennifer Vick, Torrey Pines Elementary teacher Bruce Kent and principal Sarah Ott in discussion. additional days. The foundation was paying the rest of it, so we could fully staff our health office, but now we can’t do that.” Muirlands Middle School principal Harlan Klein added, “We didn’t find out about not being able to use foundation money for classified personnel until the day before the budget was released … but we were able to rearrange things and make it work.” He explained the extensive process he had to go through to keep things as they were without violating the SDUSD order. “It seems unnecessary to go through a process. This isn’t a District phenomenon, it’s a Cluster phenomenon and we’re not talking about that many positions.” One parent attendee noted La Jolla and only one other unidentified Cluster has multiple foundations that supplement staff and programs. As such, Cluster president John May said in the past, the number of positions funded by foundations was around six, and four were in La Jolla. On hand to explain the situation, Superintendent Mitzi Merino (who works in an area of the District unrelated to budgeting) said SDUSD is trying to avoid cases in which the foundation hires someone, and in the event they can’t or won’t fund the position going forward, then SDUSD must continue to pay their salary. “If we have an employee that is not otherwise funded or would be funded that we can’t afford, we have to find a place for them to avoid laying them off. So this year, we are going to staff for allocation, so we don’t end up on the hook for salaries when we are in such a big budget crisis.” SDUSD information officer Andrew Sharp later explained to La Jolla Light, “Our projected deficit is $124 million. We have a large range of interim steps we have to take to close that deficit. … The District brought

forward the first set of budget solutions for next year last week and will hear and vote on these solutions, Feb. 28.”

In other Cluster news: ■ Start date in question: May, who also sits on SDUSD calendar committee, said a discussion was underway to decide when the 2018 school year would start. Another meeting is scheduled for March 6 at which time another alternative might come up, with a final decision due in May. “We settled-in on two scenarios: leaving the date as it is, the week before Labor Day, or moving back to the day after Labor Day. But there is a twist to starting the week before,” he said. “This year and next, we will start on a Tuesday. The reason we do that is because if we start on a Tuesday, we end on a Tuesday. This is due to one of the rules for start/stop dates: school cannot end on a Monday – no one would come and the Friday before would effectively be the last day of school. “Each school year must be 180 days with holidays and breaks, so we can start on a Monday and get another day off to make the last day a Tuesday. Many have advocated for making Columbus Day a holiday.” May said a digital survey would be circulated asking parent and student preferences, but would clearly state the decision could be vetoed by SDUSD Superintendent Cindy Marten. “No matter what we do, the person who ultimately makes the decision is Cindy, if she decides she wants to move it (in opposition to what we decide), it is within her authority to do so,” he explained. — La Jolla Cluster next meets 4:15 p.m. Thursday, March 16 at Muirlands Middle School, 1056 Nautilus St. lajollacluster.com

New residential, commercial development planned for Prospect St. Permitters review the earliest concepts

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During the Feb. 21 meeting of the La Jolla Development Permit Review committee (DPR), board members heard a “courtesy” presentation from project applicant Chris McKellar, about an upcoming application for a 21,997-square-foot mixed use development at 850 Prospect St. The presentation didn’t require a board decision or vote, but provided the chance for board input on the forthcoming application to develop the building. “We encourage people to come here before they go to all the trouble downtown, through the permitting process, spend a great deal of money and find out that the PDO (Planned District Ordinance) does not allow something, or we would rather see this than that,” said acting DPR chair Mike Costello. McKellar replied, “We’re happy and

classical details, such as cornices, arches and symmetrical columns,” said Barlow. The most controversial design element for the board was the front patio, which will be created at a level lower than the sidewalk — from 7 feet to 5.5 feet below the street. DPR member Angeles Liera said, “I really have a problem with retail that’s at a different level from the sidewalk. Traditionally it’s at the same level, and when we do things like this, there’s problems … that needs to be analyzed.” She also criticized the setback and the transition with other area construction. However Barlow pointed out, “The entire building is over 10 feet back from the property line. One side is 10 feet and then on the other side it gets to 14 or 15 feet.” Board member Diane Kane stated “the PDO also calls for courtyard and pedestrian spaces, and this seems to be closing itself off from the street instead of opening itself to the street.” The project will be subject to community review once the owners have submitted an application to the City of San Diego.

In other DPR news: ■ Condo Conversions. Liera came up with a series of recommendations for the board’s approach to condominium conversion map waivers, which have generated controversy in the past few months. During the DPR’s Jan. 10 meeting, members voted to form a subcommittee charged with studying the local legislation around condo conversions and looking for clarification on the community review

Architect Chris Barlow details information about an upcoming project at 850 Prospect St. at the Feb. 21 Development Permit Review commitee meeting.

conversion projects come to DPR. “When these (projects) come in,” Kane said, “we should be asking to see if the t’s are crossed and the i’s are dotted, because we don’t get to see it, so we have no idea what we’re blessing. What’s the point? Why are we even part of the review process? If you want to do it that way, please keep us out of it.” For Liera, the most important request would be the parcel map “because in a condominium, the parcels are not delineated as clearly as in a subdivision. In a condo, the owner owns the building, so that’s your parcel. Anything around it is either exclusive use, common area or private area. So those things are important to see because then you have an understanding of how the site is going to be arranged.” The board members on the condo conversion subcommittee (Liera, Kane and Brian Will) are in charge of creating a checklist that could serve developers when they face the community review. Later, DPR plans to present its final checklist to La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA), the community advisory board charged with making recomendations to the City in local matters. Chair Costello hopes LJCPA will approve their recommendation “to go downtown in the form of a letter to the development services and the mayor’s office,” and eventually become the standard for condo conversion presentations in the community review process.

process. “The City of San Diego has a pretty complete set of regulations dealing with a building conditions report, a review of electrical system standards, energy window requirement, smoke alarm, street landscaping, even for small projects, parking

requirements, and a lot of these things are waived or relaxed for four and less units. But there has to be a finding that the conversion doesn’t have an impact,” she reported. Board members speculated that, as City requirements, the above list should be available for review when condominium

Barry Bielinski and Seonaid McArthur at their Spanish Revival home, 391 Via del Norte FROM LANDMARKS WEEK, A1 There are approximately 165 local landmarks designated “historical” by the City of San Diego, according to LJHS director Heath Fox — 137 of them are private residences. “Collectively, they give a sense of the community’s history,” Fox said. “The importance of preserving these old buildings is that they represent the eras from which they came. They are visible, tangible representatives from the different periods of La Jolla history.” McArthur added, “(Historic homes) are connected to their sites and the history of the town. They give the town its identity, and I think it’s the reason a lot of new people come to La Jolla. Every time one of these buildings is taken away, we lose our character.” In 2016, the San Diego City Council proclaimed the third week of March “La Jolla Landmarks Week” to highlight the importance of historic preservation. The celebration week is sponsored by the La Jolla Landmark Group, which was created in 2014. McArthur, who was a LJHS board member at the time, asked the organization’s leadership if they had a record of the historically designated landmarks in La Jolla. “And they didn’t!” she said. “So I got together with other board members and set about identifying the historical houses in La Jolla using the phone book, knocking on doors and asking people if they wanted to be a part of this group with other historical-home owners.”

Seonaid McArthur poses with her front door’s stained glass, depicting Spanish-inspired scenes such as Don Quixote, colonialism and the founding of San Diego.

La Jolla’s Historic Landmarks Eras ■ Prior to 1920s: Most historic buildings are beach cottages with very basic designs and layouts. At the time there was no electricity or running water in the community, so the construction methods were very simple. ■ 1920s to World War II: The predominant home featured a European style with a number of famous architects designing the residences. These homes are bigger in size and offered more amenities. You can learn more about this period in the book, ‘Jazz Age to Our Age: Architects and Developers of 1920s La Jolla’ by La Jolla Historical Society, which will be presented in the March 12 La Jolla Landmarks Week event. ■ Post WWII and Midcentury Modern: Most designated landmarks in La Jolla are from the earlier periods, but a renewed appreciation for the Midcentury Modern style is encouraging designation of these landmarks. Architects in this era used geometrical and simple designs, with special care given to the relationship of the inside and the outside spaces. For Fox, Landmarks Week is also an opportunity to celebrate property owners who steward these historic properties. “Whether they bought a home that was designated (historical), or rehabilitated a home and pursued the designation, there’s a level of personal gratification and joy of living in a residence that has a character to it from an earlier era,” he said. McArthur said the owners of historical homes have a lot in common. “We deal with the same issues. We love history. And we

The book is based on the 2016 LJHS exhibition “From Jazz Age to Our Age: Architects and Developers of 1920s La Jolla,” and is dedicated to former San Diego State Senator Jim Mills, who developed the Mills Act, a property tax relief measure designed to encourage historic preservation. This event is not open to the public. ■ The lecture, “Architectural Styles and Landscape Design in San Diego,” by architects Todd Fry and Jennifer Phelps, will be held 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, March 16 at LJHS Balmer Annex, 7846 Eads Ave. Free. ■ A Historic Homes Designation workshop, 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, March 18 at Wisteria Cottage 780 Prospect St., will provide information about the designation process. It’s open to those who own homes aged 45 years or older (or who are interested in purchasing one). Specialists who prepare designation reports will be there. Admission is $15 to LJHS members, $20 to non-members, and includes a Historic Designation Project Tool Kit. — For more information, call (858) 459-5335 or visit lajollahistory.org/events

In an annual post-victory tradition, Bishop’s School water polo coach Doug Peabody jumps into the pool to celebrate.

Girls Water Polo Champs

Bishop’s wins 7th CIF title after defeating La Jolla High BY ASHLEY MACKIN istory repeated itself at Coggan Pool Saturday night (Feb. 25), when The Bishop’s School girls water polo team defeated the La Jolla High School Vikings to once again claim the title of CIF Open Division Champion. The win makes for the seventh straight CIF victory for the Knights, and the second time in as many years that The Bishop’s School and La Jolla High School squared-off for the title. With intense defense and frequent interceptions, the game was reminiscent of a tennis match. But thanks largely to Bishop’s goalie Cassidy Ball — who received the game ball in a post-victory ceremony — the score was kept tight and the Knights ultimately came out on top 3-2. The first quarter ended scoreless though several shots by both teams were made, but no side arm or over-the-shoulder throws were getting past Ball or Vikings goalie Bennet Bugelli.

Bishop’s School Knight Robyn Carter scores two of the Knight’s three goals in the CIF Championship.

Supporters from both sides fill the stands, with Bishop’s fans taking up the section behind the goal.

A minute-and-a-half into the second quarter, Bishop’s senior Robyn Carter scored the first point to put the Knights ahead. At the half, it was the only point scored. Way into the third quarter, Carter scored the second goal for the Knights. From there, with a 2-0 lead in Bishop’s favor, both teams were off. The last two-and-a-half minutes of the third quarter saw a third Knights’ goal and two from the Vikings, to end the third quarter 3-2. While the Knights fought to maintain the lead they created, including the strategic calling of time-outs, the Vikings tried to rally and come back. And as the clock wound down to a narrow Bishop’s victory, the Knights spent the last minute and change maintaining possession to prevent a last-minute upset. In the end, and to thunderous applause from parents, classmates and supporters, The Bishop’s School won its seventh CIF title.

City rules: La Jollans can’t mess with Cove sea lions BY ASHLEY MACKIN The San Diego City Attorney’s office has issued a memorandum on the sea lions at La Jolla Cove, indicating the City cannot transfer its authority to remove or deter sea lion congregation to a nonprofit organization, such as the La Jolla Town Council or La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group. The opinion could effectively cut the legs out from under the La Jolla Sea Lion Task Force (formed under the auspices of La Jolla Town Council), who for months have been asking the City to designate a local organization as “authorized” to shoo the sea lions away from La Jolla Cove, and implement other approved deterrence methods. The five-page opinion was issued by letter Jan. 24 to Herman Parker, director of the San Diego Department of Park & Recreation from the office of the City Attorney. The opinion states: “Community members have asked the City to authorize a nonprofit organization and its volunteers to undertake certain (sea lion) deterrence methods under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA)” and poses the question “Does the MMPA allow the City to transfer its authority to a nonprofit organization to deter sea lions at La Jolla Cove without approval from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA)?” The short answer, it reads, is “no.” It continues: “The MMPA allows City officials, in the course of their official duties,

ASHLEY MACKIN

A San Diego City Attorney opinion suggests organizations such as La Jolla Town Council cannot be the authorized entity to deter sea lion congregation at La Jolla Cove. to take sea lions at La Jolla Cove under certain circumstances; however, based on the plain language of the MMPA and narrow construction of exceptions to its broad prohibition on taking marine mammals, the language of the statute does not support the City allowing a nonprofit organization to engage in the same takings without approval from NOAA.” After it was announced at the Feb. 27 La

Jolla Parks & Beaches meeting, newly seated chair Ann Dynes said, “I read the letter and it’s a classic example of a letter whose author is seeking to come up with reasons why you can’t do something, not how you can get something done.” Board member Debbie Beacham added (as the La Jolla Parks & Beaches representative on the Sea Lion Task Force), “The opinion is being dissected and looked at as a way to

move forward, even though the City is hesitant to work with (an organization not associated with) the City. The important thing to note is there are still discussions being had with the City, the Town Council and with NOAA. There is nothing to suggest that this is finished, as this will constantly be moving.” The Sea Lion Task Force formed after La Jolla Town Council held several “Crisis at the Cove” forums in 2016 to address the growing population of sea lions at La Jolla Cove and their increasing acclimation to humans. Fed up with a lack of action at the City level, the Task Force, chaired by Ann Kerr Bache, asked that a local entity be given authority for removing the sea lions, so there would be consistent implementation and accountability. Undeterred by the City Attorney’s opinion, Kerr Bache told La Jolla Light, “This will not stop us from asking to work with the City to get the authority delegated to us. The problem with the opinion is that is misunderstands what we’re asking for, we are not asking for the complete transfer of authority, we’re asking for the City to maintain its authority but delegate us as authorized to do something. We’re going to continue to meet with the City and try to do something before the sea lion situation gets worse.” The item will likely be discussed at the La Jolla Town Council meeting, 5 p.m. Thursday, March 9 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollatowncouncil.org

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

OUR READERS WRITE Soccer players for a clean (and public) field I am part of the fight to keep the track and athletic field at La Jolla High School open to the public. On Feb. 11, the soccer group that usually plays there showed up early to walk around the facilities and clean up. We are trying to go out of our way to show that we value the school fields so much, we will gladly clean them up! We picked up many bags of trash, spoke to some neighbors and even a couple of high school lacrosse coaches who are all on our side! We cleaned the softball field, football field, football stand and bleachers (these were covered in trash), and also the surrounding streets of Rushville, Eads, Fern Glenn and Draper. Devin Kostrzewski

Time for compromise on school track use I have been following the recent debate on public use of the La Jolla High School track and field. It appears the school is taking a position that the turf and track upgrade funded by Propositions S and Z does not obligate the school to permit public use. The California School Facility Program Handbook provides the core guideline for the joint-use of the facilities by the school and public, to be an integral part of the community. Propositions S and Z funding was to repair, renovate and revitalize the district school facilities that already exist and not for creating exclusive assets. Therefore, I do not believe it is fundamentally right to restrict the usage. Leaving aside the technical debates that can go forever, I do fully appreciate the principal’s basic desire to protect and preserve the track renovation from the wear and tear of uncontrolled use, as if it were a public park. The community needs to recognize and use the facility with abundant care. I strongly urge we pursue a compromise approach with more than normal cautions, warnings and restrictions on the use of the facilities when school is not in session. Access through a single or a few entry points monitored by cameras and clear warnings at the entrance should be adequate. If that fails, a slightly expensive approach of tracked access through entry cards may be used to permit public use. The case for joint-use with community is compelling since La Jolla, with its superb beach areas, still lacks nearby safe level walking and jogging facilities like parks or commonly available school tracks all over the country — a real need for the senior citizen community and others of all ages. Having no public access is not a right solution for a proud community like La Jolla. Sri Iyengar

Support for crosswalk on Torrey Pines Road We are neighbors of Sherry Nooravi, who wrote the Guest Commentary in the Feb. 23 issue of La Jolla Light about the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project. I, too, want to make a comment about the danger of crossing Torrey Pines Road without a safe crosswalk. We have twin 8-year-old girls and we moved here 2 1/2 years ago. When we moved into our home, my husband and I, like Sherry, were surprised that there is no safe way to walk from one side of

DEVIN KOSTRZEWSKI

Torrey Pines Road to the other. From my house, I can see pedestrians walking on the south side of Torrey Pines Road (where there is no sidewalk) and trying to cross Torrey Pines Road daily. It is so dangerous! Cars are whipping by with no regard for pedestrians. We need a safe crossing point for pedestrians. In addition, there are no sidewalks between Amalfi and Prospect to enable us to walk our girls to school. It is necessary to have a crosswalk and sidewalks on both sides of the street, not only for our neighbors, but for visitors to La Jolla who would like to explore the town on foot. I look forward to safety on Torrey Pines Road! Jill Peters P.S. I have included the following comments from my daughters, who are in the second grade at La Jolla Elementary School: • Camille: “It would make me so happy to be able to cross the street safely, so I can walk to The Village! It is too scary to try to run across (Torrey Pines Road) now.” • Celeste: “I would really love to be able to walk to town, but we can’t now because it (crossing Torrey Pines Road) is too dangerous.”

City left crosswalk projects unfinished I hope you can use your editorial sway to encourage the City of San Diego to complete crosswalk improvements at two intersections. I’ve contacted them twice in the last year (with photos) about these pedestrian safety issues: • Crossing the street on Ivanhoe Avenue is one such striking need. That unfinished crossing connects two handicap accessible yellow ramps on each side of the street, with markers in place for where the crossing would be painted. • The second hazards are at the corner of Cave Street, Prospect Place and Exchange Place. There have been markers up denoting painting, but the existing crosswalk markings are barely distinguishable. This is an intersection I often use on my way to The Cove. Having those crosswalks painted were part of the street improvements, which were completed many months ago. Why can’t a City crew be assigned to finish the job? Jim Stewart

Reagan National Airport. It has gotten worse. Arrivals are much worse for those of us in Maryland, and FAA plans to push further channelization on us without working with us through the community working group that was created by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) to address airplane noise. Prior to 2015, those of us in Montgomery County barely noticed a plane in the sky. If we did, it was a silent silver dot high in the sky. Now, they are screeching and roaring over our rooftops lower than 3,000 feet, often several a minute, all day long, with some of the worst offenders in the early morning and late night hours. The FAA tries to tell us that it has always been like this, when we know it has not, and we never would have bought homes under a flight path. Susan Lanham ■ I live in Bethesda, Maryland. I woke up one day to a new Metroplex Flight Path at Reagan Airport, Washington, D.C. It has ruined my home/property, neighborhood, other neighborhoods here, too. 450 planes on average over some Bethesda neighborhoods. I had no idea the FAA could destroy my quality of life and home and property. We have formed a Group here in Bethesda, trying to ask the FAA for some “relief.” I wanted to let you know the DC Metroplex is impacting some of our Maryland neighborhoods. Mary Britt

‘Faultline’ message on sidewalk no folly I thought about the faultline “mystery message” put forth by a reader in the Feb. 16 La Jolla Light issue. The word “faultline” is inscribed on the sidewalk in front of the big condominium near La Jolla Children’s Pool. Along the road going north past the Torrey Pines Park, is a faultline on the west side of the road where the two sides have slipped in relation to one another. Maybe the namer (who inscribed the message) was a geologist. Art Cooley

Time to move ahead on playground renovation

nyone with young children in their lives — moms, dads, nannies, grandparents, teachers, families on vacation — knows the indisputable, day-brightening value of a trip to the playground. It’s a universal joy that provides all concerned with the promise of fun, fresh air, friends, relaxation, exercise, the chance to hone athletic skills, try something new and tap the imagination. In the words of author/educator, O. Fred Donaldson, “Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play children learn how to learn.” Another super great thing about playgrounds is they’re free and everyone’s welcome to use them. How fortunate for The Village of La Jolla that its Park & Rec Board has received a generous gift of $350,000 (thank you very much anonymous donors!) to improve its Rec Center playground. The aging equipment is outdated, not accessible to children with disabilities, and there are no shade structures to provide relief from the sun on hot afternoons. But now, with the sky as their limit (along with a $350,000

OUR VIEW budget and city regulations), the Park & Rec Board has the means to add some new sparkle to The Jewel for its children and visitors. Imagine building a “Playscape By the Sea” with marine-inspired features, or a “Dr. Seuss-ville” with a Cat in The Hat or Lorax Trees to climb. Or we could challenge the town’s many artists to design a “Surfboard Cityland” with play equipment positioned inside “waves” of all sizes, “clam shells,” and a replica of the WindanSea Shack. For more traditional ideas, playgroundequipment.com lists these playful plans: Pirate Ship with flags, panels with portholes, a bow, ship’s wheel, roof designed to look like sails, a crow’s nest, birds and monkeys! Outerspace structures featuring satellites, robots and spaceships. A forest with tree stumps, animal panels, treehouse roofs, slides and crawl tubes. A castle with turrets, flying flags and

The Park & Rec Board is in the process of choosing a plan for a new playground and is seeking ideas, expertise and community support to move forward.

Jewish Community Center receives third bomb threat La Jolla’s Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (JCC) was evacuated after its third bomb threat of the year, Monday afternoon. Jewish Centers in at least 20 other states have received similar threats since the start of 2017. In a statement, Center officials said the threat came in by phone call at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 27: “Law enforcement quickly determined the threat to be a non-credible hoax. Under an abundance of caution, we followed our practiced emergency procedures, and safely evacuated our facility. By 6:20 p.m., San Diego Police had concluded its onsite review and the JCC fully reopened to the community by 6:30 p.m. While these threats are being investigated, we continue to take numerous security measures to ensure the safety of our members and guests.”

Her parents owned and managed a popular restaurant in their hometown of Huntington, aptly named Leo Gerard’s, which served hearty american cuisine. The oldest of three children, Gen had one brother, Robert Gerard (deceased)

and has a sister, Carol McCann, who still resides in Huntington, NY. Gen met her husband, Dr. Richard (Dick) Conroy, at a Halloween party where she was the only one there who wore a costume (she dressed as a Toreador). Dick came in his doctor’s

coat and Gen noticed him right away. The romance began soon after. They were married in 1957, and their daughter, abby Conroy-Kramer, was born in 1960. She and Dick came to La Jolla in July 1969, where Dick practiced medicine at Scripps Clinic. They had a busy social and volunteer life in La Jolla. They travelled extensively around the world as time allowed. Gen enjoyed interior decorating and selling real estate. She was an active volunteer in Meals on Wheels for over 30 years. another important charity for Gen was the Social Service League of La Jolla and had been a member since 1997. She served as league

house director, treasurer, and hostess. She was especially fond of having dinner with and helping the senior retirees living at League House. Gen was always kind, had a quick wit and a great sense of style. She will be greatly missed by her many friends and family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard (Dick) Conroy 2012. She leaves behind her daughter, abby ConroyKramer; grandchildren, Justin Kramer and Viktorija Blanchard; sister, Carol McCann; and many close friends.

18 members of the University of San Diego (USD) HERO Club, after they completed the 12-hour Hero Raider Challenge on Feb. 4. For the challenge, college students, ages 18-22, began their high-intensity test of strength at 9 p.m. the night before at Fiesta Island and hiked across San Diego, carrying heavy equipment, without knowing what their final destination would be. At 9 a.m., they concluded their trek atop Mount Soledad. “The intention was to challenge the participants physically and mentally,” said event coordinator Derek Abbey. “Through the HERO Club at USD, we hold workout challenges every other weekend and dedicate the event to a fallen service-member. Typically, we have a member of the military speak to our participants so they learn the value of service.” Representatives from the Mount Soledad Memorial Association spoke to the participants who completed the trek at the Feb. 4 event, which was dedicated to deceased service-member Matthew Manoukian. More than $8,000 was raised and given to the MARSOC Foundation for families of injured or fallen soldiers. marsocfoundation.org

Storm brings flooding to Bird Rock

eginning in the earliest morning hours and lasting steadily through the night, heavy rains poured down on San Diego Monday, Feb. 27. The San Diego Police Department reported roadway flooding on different sites of the coast, including the 5600 block of La Jolla Boulevard. A fallen eucalyptus tree reportedly blocked the I-5 on-ramp at La Jolla Village Drive. The National Weather Service issued flood warning alerts, which were in effect until 9-10 p.m. — María José Durán

Losses to homes as a result of chimney fires, leaks, and wind damage exceeds one hundred million dollars annually in the US. CHIMNEY SWEEPS, INC, one of San Diego’s leading chimney repair and maintenance companies, is here to protect you and your home from losses due to structural damage and chimney fires.

The north side of La Jolla Boulevard at Forward Street flooded during the Feb. 27 rain event, inundating the road. However, cars were able to drive through with caution.

FROM WINDANSEA SHACK, A7 that they wanted a place to surf, and needed it have a sun shelter for their children. Merryweather said, “When these guys would go surfing, their wives would say they needed to take the children with them. Then they would get here and realize there was no shady, protected place for their kids.” Tony Ciani, also part of the team that got the Shack designated, said he heard it was because their board wax would melt, and a shady place was needed to keep their equipment cool. “Maybe it’s both — the kids needed shade and their boards needed shade,” he said. Regardless of the impetus, The Shack’s synonymy with surfing at WindanSea makes it arguably relevant to the history of La Jolla. Ciani added, “It’s just legendary, part of the legend of surfing. It’s one of those landmarks you want to be able to touch over time. In 1966, Congress adopted the National Historic Preservation Act because they wanted to protect these buildings because of the feeling and connection to a historic time.” The Shack has been moved twice. Both times, its orientation was kept the same — a crucial factor in maintaining its connection to surfing. “The story I was told is that the

orientation of two of the poles allowed you to line up along a surf break along a certain swell,” Ciani said. “If you lined up on the northwest pole and southeast pole, you could paddle out and use those as landmarks. Then you are in the primo spot for a take-off.” The first time, at a date unknown, The Shack was moved directly inland because its sandstone base was deteriorating. In 2015, a storm destroyed The Shack and it was rebuilt by Friends of WindanSea. Now that the Shack has been designated, and there is the plaque to prove it, the Friends group is trying to get the word out to not hang hammocks or other swings from The Shack’s roof. “You can’t do that on historic buildings in Balboa Park, why would you be able to do that here?” Merryweather posed. Although it has historically been topped by palm fronds, recently the Friends group has removed the leafy roof when storms are projected to be large. Landscape architect Jim Neri, a member of Friends of WindanSea, said the roof is not made to withstand the weight of water and pounding waves, and each year, the decision to remove the fronds is made. Expecting the heavy rains that took place in late 2016 and early 2017, the fronds were removed. New fronds should be in place by mid-March.

It’s Spring Musical Time!

La Jolla High to stage ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

ASHLEY MACKIN

Robert Mackey (Seymour) and Blue Schroeder (Audrey) on the set with a mini version of the man-eating plant puppet, Audrey II.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN “Little Shop of Horrors” — the musical that helped usher in the era of “new age weird musicals” that includes “The Rocky Horror Show” (1975), “Hair” (1968) and “Jesus Christ Superstar” (1970) — is La Jolla High School’s spring musical, onstage March 10-11 and 17-18 at Parker Auditorium. The story surrounds Seymour Krelborn, an adorably nerdy lovestruck florist who finds an usual plant, which he names Audrey II after the object of his affection. Magically, little Audrey II starts to talk and grow and Seymour soon learns it is (spoiler alert) a man-eating plant. The kitschy “horror comedy musical” set in skid row had its off-off-Broadway premiere in 1982. The film of the same name, starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene and Steve Martin, was made in 1986. “When ‘Little Shop’ came on the scene, people were confused and didn’t get what it was. It was off Broadway for while, then it gained an audience and made its way to Broadway (in 2003 as a revival). I love it because it’s fun to watch, it’s weird and it’s funny. For students, the music and singing are very catchy and fun, but very doable. It’s not like ‘Phantom of the Opera’ or ‘Les Misérables’,” said La Jolla High drama director Stacey Allen.

nita Woods has been running La Jolla Mailbox Rentals, at 5666 La Jolla Blvd., for the past 30 years. When customers come in, she greets them with a smile and readily jumps to get their mail or ship their packages. Tiny, smart- and tidy-looking, this 74-year-old isn’t planning to retire any time soon.

Where are you from?

“I’m from San Diego. I’ve been here all my life. Now, I live in Mission Bay.”

When did you open La Jolla Mailbox Rentals? “I opened Feb. 21, 1987.”

How did you come up with the idea?

“It was after my divorce. I knew I wanted to run a business, I just didn’t know what kind of business, and the opportunity came up with La Jolla Mailbox Rentals, and I jumped on it. The only regret I have is I didn’t do it sooner (laughs). One of the customers (of the former owner) who had a mailbox here was an acquaintance of mine. He called me to say the owner wanted to sell. He told me it was a postal business, and I had no idea how to run a postal business (laughs). He said, ‘I think you would be really great. The gentleman will stay with you for a month and train you.’ And I thought, ‘I have nothing to lose, I’m going to go ahead and try it.’ And I did.” SEE ANITA WOODS, B19

Dawn’s way too early light

inally I’m living the life I was meant to live. I just had to wait 65 years for it. I’ve always been a night person, or more specifically, NOT a morning person. But until I retired a few years ago, circumstances maliciously forced me to live the life of people who were compelled to get up in darkness. The second that alarm went off, I’d lose my will to live. Sometimes for days at a time. I’ve always felt that alarms were cruel and unusual treatment. It didn’t even matter if it was soothing music from a clock radio or a jarring alarm. Unnatural awakening is unnatural awakening. I actually know people who like to get up early. It’s obviously a birth defect. It just goes against nature to wake up before it’s light. Cave people knew this instinctively. Personally, I am of the belief that anything before 10 a.m. is still the night before. In my first marriage, I was married to a morning person. This should be a screening question on a marriage license application. Morning people should be legally enjoined from marrying night people. One person I know who would absolutely agree with this is my former husband. On vacation, for example, crazy psycho

morning people want to get up two hours earlier than usual while nice normal night people want to sleep two hours later, which is the whole purpose of a vacation. Night people would never throw a plastic tarp over a sleeping spouse so they can get an early start painting the bedroom ceiling. (You know who you are.) I concede that sunrises are beautiful. If only you didn’t have to get up so early to see one. I mean, it’s not like I haven’t seen plenty of sunrises in my life, especially while feeding an infant. They have absolutely no respect for the rest requirements of their parents. I’ve also experienced a fair number of sunrises en route to the airport for an o-dawn-thirty flight to the East Coast. What with TSA lines now, you have to get up at 3 a.m., which even morning people would have to concede is in the middle of the night. I admit that the soft light looks really pretty on Mission Bay as those gluttons-for-punishment, the rowers, glide across the glassy water. Which leads us to the third way I’ve seen a lot of sunrises: as the glutton-for-punishment parent of one of those rowers. OK, I get that you have to row when the water is quiet if

you don’t want the boat to be swamped. But for all four years of high school, my younger son Henry was a rower, which necessitated him being on site at the boat house as the first potential ray of light peeped over the horizon. One of the happiest days of my life was the day he got his driver’s license and I heard the car pulling out of the driveway to rowing practice without me in it. But there were still frequent regattas in not-nearby places, like Long Beach and Newport Beach, for which the rowers had to be on site at precisely 6 a.m. This meant that we had to be on the road at 4 a.m. Henry would be snoozing in the back seat while I fed cups of industrial-strength coffee to the semi-conscious Olof who was driving. We’d turn Henry out at the dock then go have breakfast in the dark at the Denny’s in Long Beach, watching the sun come up over the bright yellow obnoxiously cheerful Denny’s sign, the sight of which I hate to this day. And then, of course, I frequently had to get up before dawn for work, depending on what season of year it was. And that’s my second favorite thing about retirement: waking up when I want to. If I’d known how good retirement was, I’d have spent my entire working career being despondently depressed. The other side of not having to get up early is that you can read late into the night. Some (my second husband would be one of them) would consider it the next morning. In my frantic single-working-mom years, I managed to read one book a year. Now I get to read three a week. The only way I’d willingly see sunrises again is in a recumbent position. This, I

Attendees learn about Guatemala’s history and culture at a Pantai Inn event, Feb. 15.

A three-day hike from the closest road, the Mayan settlement, El Mirador, has been abandoned for 1,000 years in northern Guatemala.

Mayan city concealed by Guatemalan rainforest Archeologist discusses the site and tours at La Jolla’s Pantai Inn

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN El Mirador (Spanish for lookout) is a group of Mayan pyramids and settlements, abandoned since 1,000 BC, that occupy the most secluded nooks of one of Central America’s largest rainforests in northern Guatemala. Discovered in 1926, they’ve been the subject of sporadic study until 2003 when Richard Hansen, who spoke at the

“Bella Guatemala” event Feb. 16 at the Pantai Inn on Coast Boulevard, established major investigation, stabilization and preservation programs onsite. Hansen, who has a Ph.D. in Archeology, told La Jolla Light that El Mirador is “a scientific jewel,” and its environment is “pristine.” “It’s a virgin jungle, and it has been that way for 2,000 years ... and in the middle of it are the ruins,” he explained. Asked why the settlement is so well preserved, Hansen said it’s because it is surrounded by a lush rainforest with a three-day hike to the nearest road. “Or you can helicopter in,” he added.

thousands of acres of rainforest to render drug-traffic and support cattle.” To save the jungle and the Mayan ruins, Hansen said researchers have created a model based on tourism that will sustain the forest for 500 years to come. “That’s the whole purpose,” he said. “And that model is based on tourism, prosperity and conservation. If you put all those issues together, you have a home run.” Rodolfo Castillo and Gao Vilé are two Guatemalan musicians, established in Miami, who are involved with FARES and who attended the event at Pantai Inn to support the cause. “When you’re at El

Bella Guatemala Travel owner Elsie YiDonoy poses with Richard Hansen’s book ‘El Mirador’ at the Pantai Inn. Mirador, you can feel the vibrations of the people who once lived there,” said Vilé. “You can feel the voices and hums of those people in the middle of the silence, embraced by the jungle, and that’s gorgeous.” For Castillo, hiking up to “Tiger,” one of the pyramids, was a “magic” experience. “It makes you feel so little when you see the immense treasure that we have,” he said. The El Mirador collection of settlements are, according to Hansen, bigger than Los Angeles, and “connected by a web of ancient highways.” Danta, a 236-foot-high Mayan temple that’s a part of it, is one of the biggest pyramids in the world. “The Mayans were always a fascinating society because they were the only tropical forest society that developed complexity,” Hansen said. RICHARD HANSEN

Guatemala travel

Elsie YiDonoy, who was born in Guatemala but lived in L.A. most of her life, first visited her country of birth in 2004. “My sister and I had a bad experience. The hotels and restaurants we went to weren’t good. So I came back and I started Bella Guatemala Travel to help people have a good experience (in my country),” she said. Since then, she sells all-inclusive tours to Guatemala. “I don’t sell anything that I haven’t tried first,” she said. Now, YiDonoy is collaborating with Hansen to help El Mirador reach the U.S. tourism market. Her company is organizing two “Lost Kingdoms of the Maya” tours (May 3-14 and June 25-July 8) that, among other Mayan ruins, include a visit via helicopter to El Mirador, where tourists will visit the excavation sites led by Hansen ($6,195 per person).

The peak population of El Mirador is calculated at 100,000 to 250,000 people, judging by the size and extent of its construction parameters. Another reason to preserve El Mirador, Hansen explained, is the environment that surrounds it. “It’s the last large rainforest in Central America,” he said. Vilé added that the woodland acts as a “lung” for certain areas in the United States. “When there are fires at El Mirador, the smoke reaches Houston. In the same way, the oxygen generated also reaches Texas. If instead of a forest you build a city and a highway, what’s going to come over is a bunch of smog from non-regulated trucks.” ■ Want to learn more?

The La Jolla Community Center draws a crowd for Aboo Nasar’s talk on happiness, Feb. 16.

ASHLEY MACKIN

Food for Thought

Physician shares science behind mental health, happiness tools BY ASHLEY MACKIN “Happiness is a perception. It’s reflective of our perspective on life. We can look at life with different lenses and different prisms. We try to live in a world of Zen, but it doesn’t always happen that way,” said Aboo Nasar, M.D., a board-certified geriatrician

and internal medicine physician, during his “Pursuit of Happiness” lecture. The talk was given as part of the La Jolla Community Center Distinguished Speaker Series, Feb. 16. To assist the brain in creating that uplifted perception, Nasar said there are things we can do — eat a healthful diet, get enough

sleep, have good social connections and maintain a sense of spirituality. And while these concepts are not exactly breaking news, Nasar explained the science behind these lifestyle habits and their impact on the brain and overall happiness. After speaking at length about why

pharmaceuticals are only one option — and perhaps a detrimental one when taken in excess — he talked about how feeding the body well and integrative psychiatry are alternatives being considered more regularly. “Integrative psychiatry looks at the whole person: body, mind and spirit,” he said. “If I

Aboo Nasar’s STRESS plan

At the La Jolla Community Center lecture, Dr. Aboo Nasar said he advocates for the STRESS regimen to help people get a handle on their overall happiness: S: Sleep. Eight hours per night is “non-negotiable” T: Toxins. Avoid them, whenever possible, including artificial sweeteners and alcohol R: Relationships. It’s quality not quantity. One could have 5,000 friends on social media, but a few close pals one can rely on is a must E: Exercise. A little bit every day S: Sunshine. A 90-minute walk outside increases the speed of neural circuitry S: Supplements. Talk to your doctor about which ones and in what concentrations have to treat a patient, I have to work with multiple entities … so when we want to assess mental health matters, we have to look at a whole slate of things.” But, he added, “The most important thing is how you feed your body. If you look at a Ferrari, it can look nice, but to run, it has to have a sufficient engine and energy-dispensing system. Food is one of the crucial things that affects mood.”

Mood food

Nasar cited a recent study in Australia, which suggests a diet of whole grains, fruits, nuts, legumes, vegetables, lean meats, chicken and seafood — and a decrease of foods in the “beige diet” (white, carbohydrate-based items that are low in nutrients) — yielded positive mood changes that were comparable to those generated by certain pharmaceutical drugs. Conversely, he said high fructose corn syrup and other processed sweeteners can cause brain inflammation “and can contribute to depression and other mental illness.” Offering a few examples of foods that can contribute to a good mood, he said grapes have polyphenols “that are like a freeway cleanup crew for your blood vessels and take plaque and move it (which can boost energy) from around your heart,” he said. Wild-caught salmon, Nasar added, is high in Vitamin B12, “essential for your neural-integrity and the nerves in your brain.” Lastly, strawberries have Vitamin C and manganese, which are “crucial for making serotonin (a neurotransmitter that contributes to the feeling of well-being) and an amino acid known as GABA, which contributes to neuro-relaxation.” Other foods he recommends include raw almonds, avocados, shitake mushrooms and sesame seeds. Diets high in these foods, along with “beans, greens, citrus, berries, healthy fats such as coconut and fish oils,” contribute to the production of endorphins, he said. Other ways we can encourage the brain to make these elevating neurotransmitters include exercise, laughing, soothing scents such as lavender and spending time in the sun. “Endorphins are the ‘happy’ neurotransmitters used by your spinal cord

If you are having mental health issues, you could go see a psychiatrist, or you could see a monk and I think you would get better results.

”

— Dr. Aboo Nasar and our brain,” he said. “For chronic pain and emotional pain … they work very well. You want your body to make endorphins, and diet and time outside can help with that.”

Time to think

He also advocated for meditation as a way to stimulate the brain — both for its ability to relax the brain in the short term and stimulate activity in the long term. “We are a spirit enveloped by a body, not a body with a spirit inside it. How we feed our spirit is a huge component to happiness,” he said. “Spirituality and meditation increases activity in your prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for retention, and works on your emotional brain, as well. For the effective working of your brain, it needs relaxation, too. So if you are having mental health issues, you could go see a psychiatrist, or you could see a monk and I think you would get better results.” After the well-attended talk, several commented that, pending a few too many scientific terms, they appreciated the lecture. “(Nasar) had a lot of great content … He encouraged me to continue on the path I’m on, which includes low sugar, a healthy diet and lots of laughter ... And while my husband and I go to the beach, I now think we need to spend even more time in nature,” said Nancy Lo. Added Mary Jane Oates, “I used to design medical curriculum and teach yoga, so the title of this lecture attracted me here. There weren’t a lot of surprises, it was just encouraging to hear him reinforcing the ideas you hear from a lot of other health experts.”

Old Globe Theatre’s ‘The Blameless’ explores moving past tragedy BY DIANA SAENGER It’s unlikely to get through life without experiencing bad times. “The Blameless” acknowledges such and takes a look at the happy, close-knit Garcia family striving to overcome a tragic act of violence. Written by Nick Gandiello and directed by Gaye Taylor Upchurch, the play has its world premiere at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park through March 26. “Nick is a really great writer with a fantastic ear for dialogue,” Upchurch said. “He’s able to make a very intimate, personal story about one family so universal. When you’re watching the play, you see that his magic includes everyone in the room. It’s fantastic. “I’m very interested in how we get beyond tragedy and move through life when things don’t go as we plan them. Nick was able to laser-in on this family and how they are coping ... He does an amazing job of injecting grace, humor and pathos ... people writing about tragedy can be sentimental or brutal. In my experience of grief, we as humans have to find joy somewhere and survive. This family that Nick put together is in the process of doing that.” Upchurch said Gandiello wrote “The Blameless” from his own experiences. His characters must find a way to hold everything together as they welcome to dinner the one man who might help them heal — or reopen their wounds. “I’m not sure how much really relates to his life,” she said. “But, he did experience

The ‘family’ cast gets along very well on and off stage. They have a real respect and love for each other. This production makes me feel less alone in the world, and when we’re going through the process of grief, sadness, tragedy and feeling alone, it can be at the

heart of that.” The cast includes Amara James Aja as Howard Harper, Liza Colón-Zayas as Amanda Garcia, Antoinette LaVecchia as Diana Garcia, Frank Pando as Alex Garcia, Stephen Barker Turner as Drew Davis, and Carmen Zilles as Theresa Garcia. Upchurch said she hopes people leaving

the theater will “feel a sense of community, holding people you love tighter and being steeped in the love that creates fuller lives.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Blameless,” runs through March 26 at Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Tips for Your Sclerotherapy Treatment for Varicose Veins If you have varicose veins, you already may have been scheduled for sclerotherapy treatment to remove your varicose veins. But maybe you still have some questions about the sclerotherapy procedure and you want tips on maximizing the healing process. A quick refresher: The sclerotherapy procedure happens right in the doctor’s ofﬁce. Depending on the severity of the varicose vein—or veins—the procedure can

take only thirty minutes or it can even be done in as little as ﬁve minutes’ time. Sclerotherapy is an injection of the chemical sclerosant directly into a varicose vein in order to damage the inside lining of the vein. The subsequent scarring causes the vein to close. After the injection, pressure is applied over the veins in order to prevent the blood from returning once you stand up. Repeated sessions are sometimes necessary, depending on the extent of the varicose veins. Once the procedure is over, there are some common tips for post-treatment recovery. All doctors and therapists will recommend that patients wear compression stockings after sclerotherapy treatment. Some will recommend that patients wear them for several days, while others will extend the recovery time with compression stockings to several weeks. Compression stockings help maintain pressure throughout the legs (and veins), promoting healthy circulation

and reducing the bruising. It is always best to follow the recommended time frame for wearing compression stockings after treatment. Bruising around the injection site or sites is common among sclerotherapy patients, and the appearance of bruises can last up to two weeks—the bruising period is almost always longer for patients who are on blood thinners. But just as every patient is different, so are the healing times. A small bruise, posttreatment, for a couple of weeks is nothing to worry about. If the bruise increases in size and deepens in color more than a few days or a week after treatment, or an abscess appears around the injection site, go immediately to the hospital, as you may have an underlying condition that causes such a rare reaction. To be extra cautious, some doctors and vein treatment centers recommend avoiding any over-the-counter medications that act as anticoagulants or blood thinners, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and even omega 3s.

While there is no “down time” required after sclerotherapy treatment, it is good to avoid any strenuous activity or exercise. That being said, regular low-impact exercise, especially walking, is encouraged by most doctors and vein treatment centers beginning immediately after treatment. It will be important to report to your doctor any slow or lack of healing, either at the injection site or any localized clotting. There may be some discoloration of the skin at the injection site, but this is generally nothing to worry about and can be corrected with topical creams or even laser therapy. Remember, there are plenty of fake remedies out in the world, which are a waste of money and could delay potentially crucial treatment. Varicose veins are a medical condition and could be a symptom of a much bigger vascular problem, and they are a condition best treated early on.

Seafood Panzanella Salad ■ Ingredients: 1 crusty baguette (cut in chunks), 1 1/2 cups cooked, chopped lobster meat (tail and claws) and crab (shells removed), 4 Persian cucumbers (sliced in coins), 2 sweet red peppers (sliced in rings), 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved), 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced), 2 tablespoons olive or walnut oil, 1 handful basil (chopped)

For cold season et al zinc’s a real zinger

ike Hippocrates, I’m going to “make food my medicine,” by amping up a store of zinc-rich treasures in my diet to kick any blossoming cold viruses under the bus. Keep in mind, zinc levels have to be kept in a delicate balance like Baby Bear’s porridge — too little will cause deficiency problems, while too much will allow damaging free radicals to run rampant. The recommended daily dosage for adult males is 11 milligrams, slightly less for women (8 milligrams), but more if you are pregnant or breast-feeding (12 milligrams). While vegetarians should consume higher amounts since plant-based zinc is not absorbed as well by the body as animal-based ones.

Best zinc sources can be found in these foods:

1. Pomegranate heads the fruit list, followed avocados, and blackberries. Toss these ruby gems in green salads, smoothies, or stews and sauces to top wild-caught fish or chicken. 2. Soybeans are rife with zinc (9 milligrams in one cup), along with limas, chickpeas, kidneys, green beans and peas.

Roasted soybeans (organic, please) make a great portable snack, while other forms of soy, especially tofu and tempeh dial up salads, stir fries, egg and grain dishes. 3. Sprinkle toasted or raw wheat germ on both savories and sweets. This small, edible part of the wheat kernel has a concentrated load of vitamins and minerals to bolster the immune, digestive and cardiovascular systems, along with an anti-aging bonus. 4. Turn over a new leaf with spinach, endive and Swiss chard in warm wilted salads, Italian wedding soups, smoothies and pastas. 5. Beef it up, so long as it’s organic and grass-fed, or lean, immune boosting lamb as a hearty ragu over egg noodles, a herb encrusted rack, or stewed with assorted root vegetables. 6. Go nutty with cashews packed with almost 8 mg of zinc in a single cup, or pine nuts, pecans, almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts to bake, snack, toss, grind or blend in assorted dishes. Pumpkin, sesame, chia and flaxseeds also give a hearty dose of protein and zinc. 7. Food of the Gods, super dark chocolate with cocoa content of 70 percent or greater is not only an

■ For the dressing: 1/2 cup olive or walnut oil, 1 tablespoon white balsamic or red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 garlic clove (minced), 1/3 teaspoon honey ■ Method: Whisk dressing ingredients in glass bowl and set aside. Heat oil (2 tablespoons) on medium in large skillet. Add bread chunks, sprinkle with salt, toast until golden. Combine bread chunks and remaining salad ingredients in large salad bowl. Toss with dressing, and let sit for one hour. Top with chopped basil. Serves 4. antioxidant-rich mood elevator, but has an impressive amount of zinc (6 mg per cup). Indulge in raw, baked, melted, shaved, blended or drizzled chocolate on everything but your shoes. 8. Go wild for mushrooms, especially white button, morel, crimini, Portobello, oyster and shiitake for their meaty texture, rich flavor profile, versatility and immune boosting store of zinc. 9. The world is your oyster with these high-octane bivalves containing the greatest amount of the mineral of all food sources on the planet. Six oysters are packed with 33 mg

of zinc. While oysterphiles love eating them raw in the half shell, it’s safest to broil, bake or toss these sea treasures in a cioppino or fish chowder. 10. Crab and lobster, the gold standard of seafood, are also zinc powerhouses, so indulge in crab cakes, lobster bisques and rolls, crustacean cocktails, and this delightful Tuscan bread salad called panzanella (recipe provided), even more divine when tossed with succulent chunks of lobster and crab.

try to eat very healthy. I’m a good cook, I have Italian heritage so I like cooking lasagne.”

Did you grow up in an Italian household?

“Yes, both of my parents were Italian. It was great. My grandma was around a lot, so she spoke to me in Italian, but I really don’t know how to speak Italian that much because she wanted me to answer in English so she would learn. My dad was born in St. Louis, Missouri, my mom was 8-months-old when she came over from Sicily. They first got to New York, but she came from a family of fishermen, so they settled here, in San Diego. We would have pasta on Sundays, that was our Sunday meal, but generally my mom cooked normal stuff.”

How was your upbringing?

“They were really good parents, but they weren’t very open. Years ago, most parents weren’t ... we are more so now, as I was with my kids.”

“I work out. I only have time to do it three times a week, but I do get it in. I belong to a gym next to my house. I do weights, I bike and run in the treadmill. I love spending time with my family.”

What’s something people don’t know about you?

Where did you go to high school?

Are you planning on retiring?

“Cathedral High. I didn’t go to college because I got married early.”

What do you like to eat?

“I cook mostly at home, although I do like going out to dinner. I don’t cook as much as I used to, I make faster meals,

“People know everything about me (laughs). A lot of them probably don’t know my age, but they will now!” “I don’t think I’m going to retire very soon. I think about it, but I also think that I’m going to go on for many more years.”

What’s your hope for the future? “I hope I can retire someday (laughs).”

Eagle Scout project aids Rady’s Children’s Hospital

hilippe Naviaux of Boy Scout Troop 506 recently completed his Eagle Scout Project at Rady’s Children’s Hospital. Naviaux created an interactive display consisting of a Model Winter Village and a Model Railroad in the waiting room of the hospital’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). He said his hope was that the project will provide comfort to the families of children recovering in the PICU for years to come. The idea originated with Edda O’Connor, whose late husband, Kevin O’Connor, enjoyed setting up a Dicken’s Winter Village during the holidays. O’Connor contacted Kathleen Stark of the Rady’s Children’s Hospital PICU, and Stark put in a request to the Scouting Council looking for someone who might be interested in creating such a display for the hospital. Naviaux answered the call with the thought that it might be more interesting for children if the display also contained a working model railroad. He was mentored in the design by Assistant Scoutmaster John Stojic, a general contractor and owner of Classic Craft Construction. With Stojic’s help, Naviaux designed and constructed the 4- by 8-foot table and plexiglass cover. Assistant Scoutmaster and train enthusiast, Wendell Callahan, helped Naviaux with the design and construction of the model railroad and donated a special 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America Lionel train set to the project. Naviaux and his volunteers spent more than 200 volunteer hours building the display. — Boy Scout Troop 506, chartered for more than 50 years by the La Jolla United Methodist Church, is a High Adventure Boy Scout Troop, and is open to boys, ages 10-17. For more information, visit lajollatroop506.com

Having done the play several times before, Allen said he wanted to put some additional spins on the already quirky production, and this year’s cast has the talent to do so. “We gender-bent the role of Mr. Mushnik, which gets done a lot, so now it’s Mrs. Mushnik, and she’s great. But for the first time, the voice of Audrey II is a girl’s. I’ve always wanted to give the plant a female voice, but it’s hard to find someone in that age range with that deep voice that can pull it off. And whoever fills that role can only use their voice, so they have to be bigger than life,” Allen said. “Plus, seeing as this is my first year at La Jolla High School, I wanted to do something I knew I could do. I know it well and have solved all the problems many times before.” When it came to filling the roles, Allen said he had a larger pool of students who came to try out because musicals tend to attract people that can sing, but don’t necessarily act. “I get a lot of musicians and kids that aren’t in my drama class come and audition. And that’s great because we create a new family. Only four or five students that were in the school’s last production (‘The Diary of Anne Frank’) are in this one as well.” Case in point: Abbey Martin, the first female voice of Audrey II. “This is my first show where I’m acting,” the sophomore said. “I played piano for the soundtrack of last year’s musical and had a really good time, so I wanted to give this a try. It’s a different experience because you have to act only with your voice, I can’t use facial expressions or anything, so I have to really break down the lines and make sure I’m getting the mood and point across. And we’ve been doing some of the lines differently, so we’re making it our own.” Robert Mackey, who plays Seymour, said he’s also taken extensive steps to make the role his own, as this particular character holds special meaning to the 16-year-old junior. “I’ve had three separate directors tell me I should play Seymour one day,” Robert said. “It suits me and my range … plus, I’m a nerd and Seymour is a nerd. I love the role and finally getting the chance is really exciting. I’ve been doing theater here for a while and this is my first proper lead, and to have it be Seymour is great.” He added “theater has been my life since I was a freshman,” and said he was recently accepted into the La Jolla Playhouse Conservatory program. “When I heard we were doing this show, I watched it twice on stage and watched four versions all the way through (via video and YouTube) and another five versions in part,” he said. “I did a lot of prep for this.” Robert opined the best Seymours are Hunter Foster (2003 Broadway version) and

love it because it’s fun “toIwatch, it’s weird and it’s funny. For students, the music and singing are very catchy and fun, but very doable.

”

— Stacey Allen La Jolla High drama director on choosing ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ as its spring musical

Jake Gynenhall (Encores! concert staging in July 2015) and that he tried to pull elements from their performances into his to make the perfect Seymour. For 16-year-old Blue Schroeder, who plays (the human) Audrey, this production is also a dream come true. “When I was younger,” she explained, “I did a lot of musical theater … and we did a show once that was a collection of show tunes. We did ‘Suddenly Seymour’ and it became a favorite. I was about 7 at the time, and at that age, they wouldn’t let the younger kids sing those songs, they gave them to the older kids. I always had the dream of singing that one day, so to be able to do that is awesome. We’re having a lot of fun doing this show and that enthusiasm comes through.” A signature of the musical is The Ronettes — a group of backup doo-wop singers who provide peanut-gallery commentary throughout. Conventionally, it’s been a trio, but at La Jolla High, the group is a quintet. Lindsey Garterner, 18, who plays Chiffon (one of The Ronettes) and helped choreograph the routines, said this will be her last production, and she wants to make it count. “It’s fun for me that my last show gets to be this funny, intriguing, sort of dark musical and that I got a leadership role of dance captain (choreographer),” Lindsey said. “The Ronettes sing or sing back-up for a lot of the songs, which are actually pretty dark, but fun.” She added that The Ronettes have to be “really tight with our singing and dancing,” but all have been working hard to make that happen. Robert added, “I don’t think we have a single cog that is bad; it’s a well-oiled machine covered in WD-40. Everyone does a great job. We know our stuff and we know we’re here to have fun and to make sure the audience has fun.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Little Shop of Horrors” runs 7 p.m. March 10-11 and 17-18 at La Jolla High School’s Parker Auditorium, 750 Nautilus St. Tickets $10-$12 at the door. ljhstheatre.com
