BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla’s Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory group unanimously approved revised design concepts for the exterior of the Cove Pavilion restroom project in Scripps Park, during its Feb. 27 meeting at the Rec Center. The plans had to be revised because the board was unhappy with the project renderings from City-contracted Mosher Drew architects, who presented them in November. The project was originally designed by architectural firm Safdie Rabines, whose renderings LJP&B approved last year. But after the project was handed over to the City (and subsequently, Mosher Drew) for construction, aesthetic features changed, much to the chagrin of the board. Since then, the two architectural firms worked together to come up with changes to the facility. City of San Diego Project Manager Elizabeth Schroth-Nichols said the scope of the project is “replace the existing facility with a new comfort station that follows Park & Rec SEE COVE PAVILION, A10

La Jolla High principal has compromise for public use of track Rental fees still required, but reduced cost offered BY ASHLEY MACKIN In the ongoing saga over public access to La Jolla High School’s track and field, Principal Charles Podhorsky maintains that those who would like to use the field, rent the space through the San Diego Unified School District’s (SDUSD) real estate assets office, but he is willing to offer a reduced cost as a compromise. But some community members see the offer as unacceptable. In November 2016, it came to light that the newly renovated La Jolla High School track and athletic complex would not be open — as it was in years past — to the public (unless rented). Since then, a community group hoping for free public access during non-school hours has organized with more than 30 members.

“We want to make sure we are an integral part of the community, but partnership is a two-way street,” Podhorsky told La Jolla Light in an interview a week after the meeting. “The struggle we’re having is that we have rules in place and people aren’t following them. “We have and have had people riding bikes on the track and bringing their dogs (dogs are not allowed on campus). We’ve had to ask our PE teachers to go out at 7 a.m. each morning and make sure there is no dog waste.

Shade structure gets Shores café owners in trouble with City BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN When the Shorehouse Kitchen restaurant opened at 2236 Avenida de la Playa in 2015, its owners built a shade structure and a doghouse on the adjacent right of way. At the time, they didn’t think of getting a construction permit. “That was our own naiveté,” said John Freis, one of the owners. “We assumed that it wasn’t a problem, there was (another shade structure) down the street already.” Now, they are pursuing Neighborhood Use and Site Development permits for the shade structure, sidewalk café, outdoor seating, enhanced paving and seating benches they built without a permit on the public right-of-way. Their case was heard at the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC) on Feb. 21. PRC chair Dave Gordon told La Jolla Light that prior to the meeting, committee members received comments from City staff requiring Shorehouse Kitchen to take down the shade structure and doghouse. “There’s a lot of questions in my mind as to why the Development Services Department (DSD) is being so hard on them,” he said, “I haven’t heard from one single resident saying they weren’t happy (with the shade structure).” The 250-square-foot trellis features six vertical poles, 10 horizontal beams and a semi-transparent plastic cover that creates gentle shade. The problem is that the Municipal Code (Chapter 14, article 141.0621, Sidewalk cafés) states: “Awnings or umbrellas may be used in conjunction with a sidewalk café, but shall not be used as a

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

La Jolla residents Sharon Wampler and Diane Kane sip coffee at the Shorehouse Kitchen (2236 Avenida de la Playa) under its ‘un-permitted’ shade structure. permanent roof or shelter over the sidewalk café area.” The Code also indicates that: “prior to installation of any furniture or improvements in the public right-of-way and prior to operation of a sidewalk café, the applicant shall obtain a Public Right-of-Way Permit or Building Permit.” Freis said the owners had considered a portable shade structure. “We could put umbrellas out there or some portable structure that could be folded up at night, but the umbrellas blow away and this trellis

we designed matches the architecture of the building better,” he explained. He added that the partners have already paid more than $15,000 in City and attorney fees, and would like to keep the structure as it is. “(The restaurant) shouldn’t have built this without a permit, but the sad thing is, the City probably would have said ‘You can’t build this,’ but this shade structure is amazing,” said customer Sharon Wampler. Her coffee date, Diane Kane, agreed, “This is a wonderful space,” she added.

However, not all the community is in agreement. The City’s DSD website shows that the Code Enforcement case against the Shorehouse Kitchen was started March 16, 2015 with a citizen complaint. Asked whether the restaurant owners were going to be forced to take down the trellis or just get the pertinent permits, DSD deputy director Michael Richmond said the applicant requested to maintain the structure and the request was “under review.” The City hasn’t issued any fines to the restaurant so far, Richmond said. “Potential enforcement methods or correction requirements are not under consideration while the permit request is pending,” he explained, adding that the City’s goal is to obtain voluntary compliance once the affected party is notified of the violation. As for the doghouse, Freis said that it was installed as an ornament and to protect a water backflow meter sitting inside it. “It was just an idea to make it a little prettier,” he added. After the first presentation before PRC, both parties (applicant and committee members) seemed content to let the shade structure stay, but comments from the City caused the board to suggest a few changes before the final presentation. “I think if they just made some small changes to make the trellis portable, they should be able to keep it,” Gordon said. — The next presentation on the issue will be 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 28 at the La Jolla Recreation Center, 615 Prospect St.

Suspect arrested in connection to Jewish Center bomb threats Officials keep investigation open

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Juan Thompson, a 31-year-old former reporter, was arrested March 3 in St. Louis (Missouri) on cyberstalking charges connected to the surge of anti-Semitic threats across the country, including to the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (JCC) in La Jolla. According to a statement by Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office, the suspect cyberstalked a particular woman “by, among other things, communicating threats to JCCs in her name.” The statement alleges that Thompson recently made eight threats to Jewish community organizations. According the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), since the start of 2017, more than 90 bomb threats have been called into Jewish institutions, including three to the Lawrence Family JCC (4126 Executive Drive) on Jan. 31, Feb. 21 and Feb. 27. The investigation into the rest of the threats remains open, with authorities stating they don’t believe the suspect is behind all of them. The case against Thompson is based on a complaint deposed by Southern District of New York FBI Special Agent Christopher Mills that details an e-mail the subject allegedly sent to “the JCC in San Diego” accusing the woman subject to his harassment of hating Jewish people and putting “a bomb in the center at (the San Diego JCC’s address) to kill as many Jews ASAP.” The report alleges the

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

The Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center facilities in La Jolla, March 3. e-mail was sent 10:38 p.m. Feb. 20, just hours before the evacuation of Lawrence Family JCC in La Jolla. “After the threat was received, our staff practiced protocol and immediately safely evacuated the building and the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) arrived at the premises,” said Lawrence Family JCC director Michael Cohen in a statement on Feb. 21. In a different statement, issued March 3 after Thompson’s arrest was made public, Cohen added, “We are grateful to the authorities for their efforts and hope that very soon they will find the source/s of all the threats and are able to close the case.” SDPD media services officer Billy Hernandez confirmed to La Jolla Light that Northern Division detectives are

investigating the incidents. Asked if more incidents were expected in the coming weeks or months, he replied, “It’s hard to say. We always have to be prepared for any situation.” For Lawrence Family JCC director Cohen, the institution is “uniquely prepared” to offer a safe environment for those who seek a healthy lifestyle and use its facilities. La Jollan David Ballinger, a member of the Lawrence Family JCC who regularly swims at its aquatic center, told the Light he wasn’t afraid of using the facilities. “I feel fine, they’ve got security there, I think they’re on top of things very well in terms of who can go through the door,” he explained, adding that there is an armed guard stationed at the building’s entrance. As a JCC, Lawrence Family is part of the

Secure Community Network, an affiliate of the Jewish Federations of North America that monitors, advises and supports the safety and security of Jewish institutions. Cohen stated, “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.” San Diego City Council member Barbara Bry (District 1), who is an active member of the local Jewish community, said “I am deeply dismayed by the rash of bomb threats that have occurred across the nation, and I am especially concerned about the threats made to our local JCC over the past few weeks.” Bry added that after the third bomb threat Feb. 27, she dispatched a member of her staff to check on those who were evacuated to La Jolla Country Day School. Bry, who attended an ADL security briefing at the Lawrence JCC where community members met San Diego security forces leaders to talk about the recent incidents on March 5, plans to convene a group of leaders in the Jewish community for a meeting to discuss anti-Semitism and “the ways we can work together to combat it.” The date and agenda for this meeting has not been announced. SDPD agents recommend to always take threats seriously. “We never know what is on the minds of the individuals making threats,” wrote Officer Hernandez. “Be vigilant and always be aware of your surroundings. If you see anything that is suspicious, report it to the authorities.”

Online site offers tips on cyber safety for seniors To help senior citizens understand their risks online and take steps to protect themselves, the Home Instead Senior Care network collaborated with the National Cyber Security Alliance to launch a new public education program, Protect Seniors Online, available at protectseniorsonline.com The program offers free resources to help seniors understand how scammers operate and familiarize themselves with the most common senior scams and provides steps to protect sensitive information. The resources include the “Can You Spot an Online Scam?” quiz to test seniors’ cyber security knowledge. Here are 10 highlights: 1. Create strong passwords. Lock all Internet-enabled devices, including computers, tablets and smartphones, with secure passwords — at least 12 characters long and a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. 2. Secure access to accounts, with two-step verification. Many online services, including apps and websites, offer free options to help protect personal information. Learn more at lockdownyourlogin.com 3. Think before you act. E-mails or messages that create a sense of urgency (like a problem with a bank account or taxes) are likely a scam. Reach out to companies by phone to determine if e-mails are legitimate. 4. If an e-mail looks unusual, delete it. Clicking on links in e-mail is often how scammers access personal information. Turn on spam filters to filter suspicious messages. 5. Be aware of what you share publicly on social media and adjust privacy settings to limit who can see your information. 6. Use security software, including updated anti-virus and anti-spyware software. 7. Adjust browser safety settings for optimum security. 8. Use the computer’s default firewall security protection on your computer. 9. Log out of apps and websites when you’re

No beach access available on Torrey Pines Reserve trails Recent rains have caused the closure of Beach Trail at the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve due to major erosion. The only other trail providing beach access from the state park, Broken Hill Trail, was already closed for planned maintenance. Repairs are underway, but may take “weeks or months” to restore parts of the Beach Trail. Authorities recommend to abide by the closure signs for personal safety, the safety of the workers repairing the slopes and preventing additional damage. Black’s Beach is still accessible from the north (South Beach Lot) or the south (Torrey Pines Gliderport). More information at torreypine.org

Gender-neutral restrooms arrive at La Jolla’s high schools

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A state law requiring all single-stall public restrooms be designated “gender neutral” went into effect March 1 and high schools in the 92037 ZIP code were quick to comply. Restrooms with numerous stalls that can be used by more than one person aren’t included in the California law. The Bishop’s School (7607 La Jolla Blvd.), home to 800 students in grades 6-12, has a total of five gender-neutral restrooms. “We support transgender students as we support all of our students,” wrote public relations director Suzanne Weiner in an e-mail. “We continue to consider how Bishop’s can be a safe environment for all of our students.” With a student body of nearly 1,150 — from age 3 to grade 12 — La Jolla Country Day School (9490 Genesee Ave.) told La Jolla Light all the single stall restrooms within the premises are gender neutral, but didn’t provide a specific number. “Our students have the right to choose the bathroom consistent with their gender identity,” wrote Jennifer Fogarty, assistant director of marketing. She added that the school strives to create and implement policies and practices supportive of the students. “As shared by our Head of School to the community recently, ‘We are steadfast in our commitment to creating a gender-inclusive world for all people.’ ” Officials at La Jolla High School (750 Nautilus St.) said at least eight restrooms within the school are available to all genders. The 1,550 students, grades 9-12, who attend the 14.4-acre campus enjoy a

laws as soon as we are required to, and make sure all our students are safe.” SDUSD policy allows students to use the restroom “that corresponds to their gender identity exclusively and consistently asserted at school,” according to its Nondiscrimination of Transgender Students administrative procedure. “Where available, a single stall restroom may be used by any student who desires increased privacy, regardless of the underlying reason,” the document explains. The implementation of the gender-neutral public restroom state law comes at a political moment when transgender student advocates are preparing to fight the federal administration, which recently rescinded a directive specifying that transgender students have the right to use the public restroom matching their gender identity. Congress member Susan Davis (D-San Diego) led a Democratic effort within the Higher Education and Workforce Development Subcommittee of the House urging new Education Secretary Betsy Devos to protect transgender students, and 13 Congressional representatives signed a letter directed to the federal education administration. “We recommend that you convene groups of State and District leaders to discuss best practices for supporting transgender students, provide resources for school employees that detail how they can create inclusive environment, and highlight examples of schools that implement these best practices effectively,” reads the letter, sent Friday, March 3.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 9, 2017 - PAGE A7

Real estate signs upset La Jolla residents Practice restricted by ‘Gentleman’s Agreement’ BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN In preparation for the spring/summer real estate season, “For Sale” and “For Rent” self-standing ground signs are sprouting up on the corners of many streets and yards in The Village. The proliferation has led a few residents to contact La Jolla Light over the legality of the practice. La Jolla Light reached out to community planning consultant (and resident of Bird Rock) Joe LaCava, for his expertise on the subject. “Yes,” he said, referring to signs in the public right-of-way. “Some people think there’s too much interference on the sidewalks. For others, it’s just too much visual clutter, especially with the mix between City parking signs, commercial signs, etc. Maybe people would be more tolerant if there was a consistency in the designs.” The San Diego Municipal Code, in LaCava’s words, is “silent” on real estate signs. “Most people interpret that to mean they’re allowed,” he said. The Municipal Code includes a section for the La Jolla Commercial and Industrial Sign Control District, in which real estate signs are not mentioned. However, it allows “Freestanding Ground Signs” within property lines in front yards with a setback greater than 20 feet from the street: “No part of the sign shall extend over public property or have a height exceeding 20 feet measured from the base at ground level to the apex of the sign. In the Coastal Overlay Zone, however, no part of the sign shall exceed 8 feet in height,” the Code reads. However, for LaCava, it’s easier than that. “(For the most part) signs in the public right-of-way are not permitted, but on private property they are,” he said, adding that multi-family residential development (chiefly condominiums) are allowed to put up sings directing people to the site. La Jolla Realtors have sported a “Gentleman’s Agreement” on real estate signs for years. The practice is not to install

“For Sale” or “For Rent” signs within the 92037 ZIP code. Charles Stephens, president of La Jolla Real Estate Association (REBA), confirmed the “rule.” “We do have a policy with our agents and that is we do not use ‘For Sale’ signs in La Jolla,” he said. “But if the vendor is not a member of REBA, we don’t have much influence.” La Jolla resident Gale Baccaglini contacted the Light about a short-term vacation rental sign one of her neighbors posted in their front yard. “Signs such as this one degrade La Jolla neighborhoods and are a slap in the face to those who are living close to short-term vacation rentals,” she wrote in an e-mail. The Light took her concerns to Michelle Aarons, owner of La Jolla Vacation Rentals Ca. (the company responsible for the sign posting), who said that in this specific case, it was the home owner and not the rental agency who requested the sign. “We put signs up sometimes, depending on the location, in The Village and WindanSea we do, in other places we don’t,” she explained. “We have a great relationship with most neighbors and the community, and we don’t want any kind of ill feeling or ill will,” Aarons said, adding that most of the time whenever someone complains about a rental sign, they remove it. Asked if she was aware of the “Gentleman’s Agreement” not to post real estate signs in La Jolla, Aarons said she was, but “that’s a separate issue, because vacation rentals aren’t real estate, they are hospitality, we’re in a different arena.” The San Diego City Council has been wrestling with the short-term vacation rental issue in single-family neighborhoods for the past year. During a public debate Nov. 1, 2016 Council members voted to study a piece of legislation that would regulate whole-house year-round rentals. LaCava said illegal sign postings in La Jolla are rarely enforced. “They are just kind of tolerated. When you see Code Enforcement come out, and they don’t very often, real estate signs are something they don’t pay any attention to,” he concluded.

FROM TRACK, A1 must be on hand, but with that comes an expense. So while those who want to use the facility (when not in use by the school) still have to rent it, they could do so at a reduced cost to just cover paying the facilities manager. SDUSD real estate specialist Debora Beaver said fees associated with the school’s track and field include: $53.50 to rent the field, $43 per hour for facilities managers and $40 per hour for a custodian. But, if the group renting the field is simply a group of residents, she said the $53.50 field charge could be waived. “We’re not interested in charging community members and non-profit groups rental charges,” Beaver said, though adding there is a three-hour minimum for staffing support, and it would be up to the individual groups whether they would want the custodian on site to open and maintain the restrooms. “If a group doesn’t think it would need the bathrooms, it wouldn’t need the custodian,” she said. But a facilities manager is still required to make sure the rules are being followed and the track and field are being used appropriately.” (A three-hour window with a facilities manager is $129, for both a manager and a custodian is $249.) Further, Beaver said county-wide, all SDUSD campus facilities are closed to the public unless rented. Podhorsky explained, “The decision (to limit public access) is at my discretion, but it’s not like we are the only ones with closed facilities.” He added with the recently announced SDUSD budget deficit of $124

How to rent the Vikings’ track and field ■ Contact the San Diego Unified School District Real Estate office: (619) 725-7366 or e-mail Debora Beaver, Real Estate Specialist: dbeaver@sandi.net million, paying for nonessential staffing is a challenge. “With that kind of debt, we can’t afford to have someone here on weekends to make sure the facilities are being used properly, and to secure or clean the facilities,” he said. “We looked at, from a school perspective, hiring or paying per-hour for a facilities manager, but we just cannot afford it. “If someone wants to come forward and do that, we could keep the facilities open during the day to make sure they’re being used properly. We’re open to solutions, but those solutions must account for us being good stewards of our facility.” He said if a group wanted to privately fundraise or pool money to pay the per-hour fee for a facilities manager, hypothetically, for three hours every Saturday morning, “that would be fabulous.” However, based on reported use, some find that option unfeasible. Igor Grant, who said he used the track because it is gentler on his septuagenarian knees, explained, “There is clearly not an interest in restoring the situation that existed before for decades, so the casual user could walk the track when the school wasn’t using it. But the rental agreement is not a

practical solution for one person.” He offered as an alternative, communal monitoring of the track’s users. “I think it’s more reasonable to get the community involved in self-policing to make sure the rules are being followed,” Grant said. “If I ever went running and saw someone with a dog, I would let them know dogs aren’t allowed so we all don’t lose the rights to the track. It’s true there were some thoughtless people … such as those who leave their dog’s waste on the ground, but that’s taking place even though the track facility is locked. So it seems keeping people out isn’t working.” Grant also advocated for a community meeting on the topic in an open forum. Added Devin Kostrzewski, who previously used the field for weekend soccer games, “In short, I am not OK with any paid rate because this is a public school and my tax dollars — both as a resident and a local small business operator — are going to the government, and in turn, to that school.” Kostrzewski’s soccer group recently hosted a trash pick-up in the area. “I picked up so much student and construction worker trash on the school grounds and surrounding blocks,” he said, “and the worst area was the

■ At the nearby UC San Diego campus, there is a series of cement walking paths that are part of the Walk UCSD Program, and a track that provides a cushioned, rubberized surface. The paths range in length from one-half to four miles long. A description of each (including scenic opportunities, location and ease) can be found at: bit.ly/walkucsd The paths are open to the public, but the UCSD track is only available to community members carrying a Recreation Card. With the card, holders have access to all UC San Diego sports facilities during informal recreation hours. Card costs range from $125 a quarter to $500 a year. Learn more at: recreation.ucsd.edu/membership ■ Could a cushioned walking track could be added to the La Jolla Rec Center as part of the playground redesign? La Jolla Park & Rec Inc. board chair Cindy Greatrex said it’s possible, but trustees would have to study whether the size of the playground could accommodate a track. Currently tasked with upgrading the playground facilities, the board is accepting feedback (and donations) for possible improvements. Suggestions may be e-mailed to: cindy.greatrex@diplomats.com

standards and guidelines, including ADA-compliance, and is better suited for the needs of the majority of the users better than the existing station.” She added that when the project came before the board in November, “We got approval for the schematic plans with the understanding that we had a lot of work to do on the exterior and the aesthetics. We listened to all the comments and collaborated with Safdie Rabines. I’m confident that what we’re here to present will be everything you want in this comfort station.” Bill Magnussen of Mosher Drew added, “The original concept was to not look at it as

a comfort station, but as a pavilion in the park. But we heard our (November) renderings were too utilitarian. We brought in more texture and refined the roof structure to resolve that.” He said the exterior has been “texturized” to be softer and more natural to “better blend in with the bluffs around it.” Split nearly in half equatorially, the top half will have “board formed concrete texture,” which deters the posting of fliers and is easier to clean and has the appearance of “vertical boards that look like wood, so you pick up some of the knots, the graining and joints between.” The bottom portion will also be texturized to appear grainy and sidewalls will have cobblestone accents.

La Jolla Parks & Beaches member Patrick Ahern speaks about the La Jolla View Reservoir Project and why it needs an Environmental Impact Report, which the City claims is not necessary. simply rinse their feet. The surrounding trees, said City Engineer George Freiha, will be removed and replaced with “good sized” trees, with the support of the Park & Rec Department. Issues with the existing trees include maintenance difficulties (when the flowers and leaves shed, it’s a skin irritant for some), and fears they would not survive during construction. “With their removal, we can improve the location and angle of the station,” Freiha said. As for a timeline, Schroth-Nichols said after garnering LJP&B approval, “We are going to move forward analyzing what we call the 60-percent drawings, which is what we take to the City’s Development Services Department to start the permitting process. There is some environmental work that needs to be done, and there are permits we need to acquire., but we are looking to go to construction in fall 2018 and (accounting for eight to nine months of work) be complete by mid-2019.”

In other LJP&B news: ■ Board changes: Following her selection by the election board last month, Ann Dynes was seated as the new chair. Her first order of business was to seat Roger Guillemin (who in 1977 won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine) to replace Cindy Greatrex, who resigned due to scheduling conflicts. By way of procedure changes, Dynes proposed a meeting “consent agenda” for items such as approving the minutes and agenda, and the treasurer’s report. “Any item can be pulled for full discussion, but assuming that doesn’t happen, everything would be cleared at once,” she said. Dynes added that she would also ask representatives from the 10 working groups that report to LJP&B to let her know in advance if they would like to speak. Previously, the chair would call on each to see if they had a report, which some argued pressured people to speak. “I would also like to move the meeting back to 4 p.m. About a year ago, we moved it to 4:30 p.m. to allow more working people to join us, but as far as I can tell, that hasn’t happened. If we move it to 4 p.m., even if the meeting is two hours, we would be out by 6 p.m.,” she said. “Finally, I would like to

Ann Dynes is the new chair of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory board. add more information to the agenda when it calls for a vote to better inform people of what will be discussed ... a sentence or two would help.” ■ Board backs EIR request: In a similar presentation to the one given to the La Jolla Community Planning Association last month, LJP&B member Patrick Ahern requested the board support the drafting of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the upcoming La Jolla View Reservoir Project. Ahern proposed a motion for the EIR requirement, which the board passed unanimously. The project calls for the demolition of the above-ground La Jolla View Reservoir in La Jolla Heights Natural Park and the decommissioning of the Exchange Place reservoir/pump station near the corner of Country Club Drive and Pepita Way; the construction of a 3.1 million gallon underground tank to replace the two that will be demolished; and replacement of the 16-inch Country Club Drive pipeline with a 30-inch pipe. It’s expected that 300 truckloads will come and go to excavate the area, with the need to maneuver on a temporary access road to be built through the park over two years. Once complete, the La Jolla Heights Natural Park will be re-vegetated with native plants. “We have some issues with the City’s plan. This hillside is a beautiful place. To have this natural asset right next to The Village helps make La Jolla a special place,” Ahern said, noting that at its peak are “some of the most amazing views of La Jolla.” He added he has a lot of questions for the City that have not been addressed, which would have to be broached in an EIR. The City argues it would only need to file a Mitigated Negative Declaration (indicating there would be no major impacts) or other lesser environmental review. “We believe the project requires an EIR because such a report would look at a few things: Is this project necessary? Is this the best plan that could protect the hillside? How will the plan be monitored? And, what can we do to ensure the plan is followed and the hillside is protected?” Ahern said. — La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meets 4 p.m. Monday, March 22 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.com

A rendering of the planned UCSD Marine Conservation facility

A mark-up of how the new addition would impact views from La Jolla Shores Drive

CPA apprehensive about UCSD Marine Conservation facility plan BY ASHLEY MACKIN The planned UC San Diego Marine Conservation Facility may have passed muster at the La Jolla Shores Association board, but at the March 2 La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, the reception was not so warm. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, the project calls for the conversion of the former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Southwest Fisheries Science Center buildings on the northern end of the campus, into laboratories for Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) students, and the

addition of a two-story building to house a 100-student forum and a café. Architectural firm Safdie Rabines, who designed the nearby Caroline’s Seaside Café, designed the new facility. Steve Gallagher, assistant vice-chancellor of Marine Sciences at SIO, made a presentation to LJCPA and said, “It’s an important building for us because we want to reinvigorate the north end of campus and provide amenities for the staff at NOAA, which has offices just across the street, and we look at this as an anchor to our campus.” He added students would use the classrooms, but the ocean-view conference rooms, coastal overlook rest area and café

would be available to the public. When the plans were presented to the La Jolla Shores Association Feb. 8, he said the board was “complimentary” of the designs. The $22 million project, paid for with campus funds, is expected to start construction this fall and be complete by fall 2018. However, with the construction, “a little snippet” of the new facility will block some of the ocean view from La Jolla Shores Drive. Gallagher presented renderings showing the existing facility’s visual impact and that of the new addition. For some, the elephant in the room was the unwanted reminder of the UC San

Diego Marine Ecosystem Sensing, Observation and Modeling Laboratory (MESOM) building. In 2012, SIO’s MESOM building, also located off La Jolla Shores Drive, caused controversy when it was constructed at a height greater than what was initially presented. “We learned from that and were obsessed with maintaining view corridors when we were planning this building,” Gallagher said. “We put a lot of attention into making sure the building didn’t come up and block the view from the road. So the existing building and new additions are, to a large extent, hidden by vegetation.” As to whether there would be a last-minute change similar to MESOM, he said, “We are getting ready to

move forward … drafting construction documents that will be bid on, so what you are seeing here is what you’re going to get.” Undeterred in his opposition, LJCPA trustee Mike Costello said, “Many of us are veterans of the MESOM building war. … It was a crushing blow to this community. The result of the MESOM building war was UCSD would not do what you have there (the addition that blocks the view). UCSD said it would not do that anymore. The word of the institution should be your bond. Is your word your bond? If so, why does your word change? You said you would not do this again … You said you would put nothing in the way of the view.” Gallagher responded, “We looked at all the options and went with the one we thought had the least impact because the alternative would be to bring down the entire building and construct a completely new building.” What is not covered by vegetation, and provides visual blockage, includes an upward sloping trellis that covers the café and a portion of the top story. LJCPA trustee Dolores Donovan said that although she thought the site will be “beautiful,” she was worried about whether all the possible users were being equally considered. “My concern is whether the interests of the community with the interests of the university — and in this case, the interest of those eating in the café — are being balanced. I would submit to you that the interest of the community and preserving the view from La Jolla Shores Drive are far more important and weighty than those sitting at that café having the shade. I would ask you to reconsider the balance of interest.”

LJCPA trustee Dolores Donovan asks if the needs of all the Marine Conservation facility’s users are being considered. Gallagher countered that both the building and its shade structures are crucial to SIO’s mission. “We have one eating facility at Scripps and that is Caroline’s, and there are always lines for students and the public. We thought having the café amenity was crucial for our students.” Added architect Taal Safdie of Safdie Rabines, “The trellis is really slim and I don’t think it will have significant impact on the views. A terrace like that without a cover will never be used properly. You can’t put umbrellas there because it’s always windy and at Caroline’s, everyone tries to get a spot under the trellises. For this area to be successful, it is worth that sliver.” The item was slated for discussion, not a vote, so the board took no action.

In other LJCPA news: ■ Mesa Housing revised: Anu Delouri, UCSD community planner, said a revised Notice of Preparation on the Mesa Nueva Graduate and Professional Student Housing project was issued and the public comment period has been reopened. The project site is on the east campus at Regents Road and La Jolla Village Drive. “We issued a Notice of Preparation, which is the start to the environmental process … but before the scoping period closed, the regents of the UC system said they needed to increase the number of beds proposed,” she said. “So the comment period has been reopened, if you submitted comments already, those comments will be considered. You don’t need to re-provide comments unless they speak to the change in project scope.” Information about the project can be

found at physicalplanning.ucsd.edu ■ Moratorium waived: Phyllis Minick, speaking for the Children’s Pool Walk Beautification Project, requested LJCPA vote to suspend the summer construction moratorium this year to accommodate the project. “A yes vote will allow Children’s Pool Walk to proceed on schedule, starting in early June, and through completion before the start of harbor seal pupping season (Dec. 15),” she said. The project was introduced in 2010 and has been delayed following permit and fee issues ever since. It would replace and upgrade the sidewalk area above Children’s Pool to include winding sidewalks and a seating area. With the City ready to proceed, the moratorium on summer beach construction (Memorial Day to Labor Day annually) just needed to be waived. A motion to suspend the summer construction moratorium passed unanimously. ■ Cove Pavilion OK’d: After a similar presentation to the one given Feb. 27 to La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group on the Cove Pavilion restroom facility project, which will double the amount of toilets at the Scripps Park facility and improve the aesthetic (see page A1), LJCPA also voted to support the project. ■ Election results are in: LJCPA’s March meeting doubled as its annual election, in which six candidates ran for six, three-year seats. The winners will be seated at the next meeting. They are: Bob Collins, Cindy Greatrex, Dave Gordon, Sheila Palmer, Bob Steck and Brian Will. — La Jolla Community Planning Association next meets 6 p.m. Thursday, April 6 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Regional championships await Vikings girls soccer this week BY ASHLEY MACKIN The La Jolla Vikings girls soccer team claimed its first CIF title in seven years on Saturday, March 4 after defeating West Hills 2-1 in the Division Two CIF San Diego championships. Along the way, the La Jolla High School Vikings defeated The Bishop’s School in the quarterfinals before defeating Oceanside High School in the semis. Following the victory, the team advances to the CIF regional girls championships this week. As the March 4 match approached and the gravity of the situation began to sink in, players like senior Emma McCall-Delgado started to feel the pressure, but rose to the occasion. “I personally was so nervous and tense, my coach thought something was wrong with me,” she said. “But once we got on the field and got our first score, 15 minutes into the game, our energy went up. We all got excited and it became a reality that we could actually win, we just had to lock it down.” McCall-Delgado, 18, scored that first goal, which went unmatched through the first half. But in the second half, West Hills scored one for themselves, and following a “self-goal situation,” the Vikings got another point. “One of the (West Hills) players tried to play it and scored on herself. It was a bizarre situation. She hit it strangely, and it had a back spin and went back into the goal,” McCall-Delgado explained. “But hey, a goal is a goal – just has to get into the other team’s net.” The game ended 2-1, and the Vikings were able to take home their first title since 2010. “It was a surprise for all of us, because in the beginning of

the season, we didn’t have CIF on our minds. And I’ve been on the team since I was a freshman, and I never thought I would be on a CIF-winning team. It was such a fun, cool experience,” she said. Vikings coach Kristin Jones, in her 14th season with La Jolla High, said this year’s team was stronger as a whole and focused on the “team” mentality. “In a lot of seasons past, either the offense or defense stood out, but this year, it was a whole group effort,” Jones said. “We had strong defensive athletics, and offensively, we had a lot of firepower and could score at will against the teams we played. It was about balance, and that made us a hard team to break down. And this year, the girls really wanted to win.” With heavy reliance on the team’s three seniors – McCall-Delgado, Jessica Penner and Olivia Riley – Jones said the upperclassmen mentored the younger players so they would come together as a team. “If the team plays together and lacks egos, when they get on the field, they are working that much harder for each other,” she said. Agreeing, McCall Delgado said, “We as a team are so much closer, on and off the field, than in years past. It made a difference … because we know each other, respect each other and can almost predict each other’s next move. We can work together and communicate without talking. During the championships we weren’t talking about ourselves as individuals, we thought and worked together as a team.” Taking that attitude to the CIF regional girls championships this week, the Vikings took on Clairemont High School March 7. The regional semifinals are March 9 and the finals are March 11, with opponents and locations to be determined.

Knights advance to CIF state championships

Bishop’s School girls basketball team to take on Harvard-Westlake in LA BY ASHLEY MACKIN The Bishop’s School Knights girls basketball team may have hit a speed bump on their way to the CIF state championships, but they are still steadily on the road to the title. The Knights took on Mission Hills High School for the San Diego CIF Open Division championships March 4, but fell 65-47 against the San Marcos-based Grizzlies. But, because of their successful season record, Bishop’s will still proceed to the 2017 CIF State girls basketball championships. “Saturday just wasn’t our game,” said Coach Marlon Wells of the March 4 match-up. “We jumped out and had an early lead (16-14 Knights at the first quarter), and we knew we needed to do that and keep that to stay in the game. We played six girls on a rotation and Mission Hills plays 12, so while we jumped out in front, they began rotating and got fresh legs out there. It wore us down. And at the third quarter, they just exploded (it was 47-33 Grizzlies at the end of the third quarter).” But those six played hard, with Destiny Littleton scoring 31 of the Knight’s 47 total game points, and Alessandra Aguirre and Madison Chang scoring eight a piece. “They all played hard, but it just wasn’t our night,” Wells said. Hoping for a better outcome March 10, the Knights take on Harvard-Westlake High School from Studio City, near Los Angeles. “They are similar to us in that they play about six girls also, so I like our chances. But

And our girls are happy to be in this position, but every team we face is going to be tough,” Wells said. Harvard-Westlake is ranked 12 nationally and 5 in the state against Bishop’s 107 national placement and 21 in the state. To prepare, he said the team watched game tapes of their opponents and will strategize accordingly. “(Harvard-Westlake)

has good team chemistry and we are going to do what we can to throw them off balance. We’ll use light pressure then back up into half-court defense and make them work at every possession,” he said. But, he said, each team has a different set of strengths and they will need to approach each one individually. “Our school is small and some of the other schools that qualified to play are six times the size of ours, so they

have a bigger pool of athletes to draw from (and a larger roster). For us, this is the 34th game we played this season, for our core girls, that’s a lot.” — The Bishop’s School Knights take on Harvard-Westlake in the first round of CIF state championships 7 p.m. Friday March 10 in Los Angeles.

Local sommelier has tips on developing your wine palate BY DEREK BACCIOCCO LJ Crafted Wines Think of your palate as a living, tangible thing, like a physique, or a muscle. Your palate can be sharp, “on its game”or in need of practice. While it’s OK to subject yourself to “wine monogamy” by drinking the same wine nightly or weekly, challenge yourself to become an adventurous wine taster. Let’s get started. Evaluating wine is a complex, multi-sensory experience. Palate development is linked to training your olfactory sensory system. Next time you are drinking wine, coax your palate and brain to make the connection between sight, smell and taste to create your own personal impression of wine. Take the time to follow these four steps and make note of what appeals to you in a wine, but also what you don’t enjoy. 1. SIGHT SEQUENCE: • Clarity: This is the degree in which you can see through the wine • Color: Is the color light or dark, ruby or crimson? • Other: Observe if there is any rim variation, sediment, gas, or tears/legs 2. AROMA SEQUENCE: Try to distinguish or detect these aromas: • Fruits: Berry, citrus, dried fruits, melon, apple, pear, tropical or stone fruits. • Earth: Barnyard, forest floor, musty, petrichor (wet stone) • Other: Floral, spice, nuts, herbs, vegetative or animal notes • Faults: Check the wine for “faults,” or any deviation from what is normal. Cork taint, volatile acids or oxidation can be assessed by the funky odors of wet newspaper, band-aids, vinegar, rogue yeast or envelope glue smell. 3. TASTE SEQUENCE: When the wine is in your mouth, assess these qualities: • Sweetness: The presence of unfermented residual sugar on the palate • Body: The impression of weight on the tongue. (Does it feel like whole-milk or non-fat milk?) • Tannin: Astringent/bitter chemical compound found naturally in the skins and seeds of grapes. • Structure: The relationship between the

elements that make up a wine’s backbone • Texture: The tactical/physical sensation on the palate 4. QUALITY SEQUENCE: • Complexity: Number and amount of aromas, flavors and nuances and how they interact. • Balance: Relationship between aromas, flavors and the wine’s structure • Finish: A wine’s flavor, texture and the sensation that stays on the palate after the wine has been swallowed. • Length: Amount of time the perception of a wine stays on your palate Take the next step. So you enjoyed a glass of wine and made mental notes of what you smelled, tasted and felt on your palate. How do you know if your palate has developed? The next step is up to you. Go to your trusted fine wine shop owner down the street and tell them you enjoy a full body tannic Cabernet Sauvignon but want to branch out. They might have you try a Nebbiolo from the Piedmont region of Italy. If you like the earthy qualities of Pinot Noir, maybe a Tempranillo from La Rioja might become your new favorite summertime barbecue wine. If you need more of a personal experience, come by LJ Crafted Wines in Bird Rock and join me or one of my fellow associates in walking you through a wine tasting. Our winery specializes in vineyard specific, small batch wines from Sonoma and Napa poured directly from the wine barrel. A few of the unique wines we serve are Viognier, a full-body white wine with aromas of peaches and cream, and native to France’s Northern Rhone Valley; Albariño, a high-acid grape with striking notes of white peach and tangerine, native to the Rias Baixas region in Galicia, Spain; Petit Verdot, a grape that’s famous for it minor role in the red blends of Bordeaux. Currently, my favorite wine is our Grenache, a dry, earthy plum and cranberry driven wine with overtones of white pepper. LJ Crafted Wines is at 5621 La Jolla Blvd. Hours: 3-9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday; noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. ljcraftedwines.com — Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support La Jolla Light.

OUR READERS WRITE Rotary Clubs have annual get-together Once a year, all five Rotary Clubs from the La Jolla area gather for fellowship and inspiration. This year they got together on Friday, March 3 at the Braille Institute with guest speaker Brenda Cressey, the incoming Rotary International Trustee. She updated the group on Rotary International’s multiple humanitarian projects, including the ongoing fight to eradicate polio in developing countries. Jan Percival

Rethinking possible Cove Odor solutions With the prospect of a more reasonable EPA, solutions to the malodor from sea lion waste at the La Jolla Cove, previously ruled-out by strict regulations, might become possible. Consider a pipe embedded along the cliff a few feet above the rocky shelf where most of the offending waste stagnates. When ocean water is pumped into the pipe, nozzles along the length of the pipe allow the saltwater to wash down the shelf. A timer would be set to turn on the pump often enough to limit contamination from any single washing to below an acceptable level. After installation, the recurring costs would only be pump maintenance. Harry MacKay

City not doing enough to protect harbor seals On my visit to La Jolla on Saturday, I was horrified to see so many people on the unprotected beach at The Children’s Pool touching the baby seals and blocking the way of pups and their mothers from entering the sand, while they photographed and had their children prance about the harbor seals. I am outraged that nothing was done to stop this! Many visitors and some residents were yelling at the people to move away from the seals and many of us called the Seal Conservancy and spoke with the lifeguard on duty. The City has an obligation to keep San Diego a healthy and happy place to live and visit. This disgusting

People are ignorant, but City Hall knows how these harbor seals must be protected and City Hall is not fighting enough to do so. I, and many of the people there Saturday, plan to put up pictures of this scene on social media and I will let people know that La Jolla is not a good place to visit. Perhaps only when the greedy dollar and the town itself is jeopardized with fewer visitors not spending their money, will government officials help protect the seal pups and their mothers.

Aircraft noise in Shores a problem ... or six The FAA’s change of routes over La Jolla raises many issues — the incessant, peace-disturbing noise is one, which is happening at all hours over The Shores.

Further, and maybe most importantly, health, lungs and hearts will be affected by the minute particle pollution generated by fallout from

So, aside from fighting this unwanted change in the airpaths … questions for the FAA are: 1) Do you have major money set aside for health compensation for each resident and business employee affected? 2) What would be the fair value, in the interim, for less property taxes since you have devalued our homes? 3) And here’s a general, but big question, Who is really benefitting (i.e. making money) from this unwanted decision?

The top shelf of the Draper Avenue ‘Little Library’ has a ‘mystery medal’ in it.

Draper Avenue ‘Little Library’ owner Sonia Teder-Moore

The ‘mystery medals’ across Draper Avenue

ASHLEY MACKIN

‘Mystery medal’ left in Draper Ave. ‘Little Library’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN Among the many “treasures” dropped off in the Draper Avenue “Little Library,” a box filled with free books anyone can take, one has recently been deposited that deepens a mystery. The box hangs in front of a house across the street from La Jolla High School, and homeowner Sonia Teder-Moore discovered a “mystery medal” was in it. “We’ve been watching the medal-mystery unfold and were disappointed to see them disappear ... but not entirely. My additional puzzle piece is that one of the medals ended up in the library box we installed on our driveway. I sincerely hope someone comes forward to explain the medal mystery and the inspiration behind it!” she told La Jolla Light via e-mail. The “mystery medals” are a collection of marathon medals that were tied to a fixture and strung between a

utility pole and a house on Draper Avenue (just a few doors down from Teder-Moore’s) in December 2016. A few months later, maintaining their configuration, they were moved across the street immediately in front of La Jolla High School. At an unknown date, the medals were taken down. “My daughter checks the box every day to see what people leave inside, which she calls ‘treasures,’ and she told me a little while ago someone had left a medal,” she said. “We’ve had magic wands, snow globes and stuffed animals left in there, in addition to books and magazines.” The “Little Library” box is part of a national program, sometimes known as Free Little Library, that encourages passersby to take a book and/or leave a book. There are similar boxes further down Draper Avenue, on Beaumont Street in Bird Rock, and near Soledad Mountain. “I always wanted to put one up,” said Teder-Moore. “’I’ve

had this one for two years and it’s been great. We haven’t had any problems with people leaving trash or anything in it. My hope was always that the students at La Jolla High School waiting for the bus would get curious about what it is and walk over, and take a book. “The first time someone did that, it made me so happy! Plus, I meet so many neighbors this way. People stop me when I pull in and start a conversation about it, which is nice.” The bibliophile said when she first posted the box two years ago, she stocked it with books, but since then it has become self-sustaining. “People drop off a book after they take one most of the time. Sometimes they don’t and that’s fine because sometimes people just drop off books without taking one,” she said. “Once someone left an entire bag with an entire series in it. You will find absolute gems in there.”

The tidepools lie just below the bluffs here. ■ Coastal Meander through Scripps. The boardwalk begins just at Biological Grade and La Jolla Shores drive and the walk takes you down through the Scripps campus. There are several lookout spots (most with benches) where you can get great views of the Scripps pier and the wide blue Pacific.

To get a great view of La Jolla to the south, the Scripps campus hill is a great spot to visit. A single swing hangs here from a eucalyptus and it’s quite quiet, despite being just off the road at Discovery Way and La Jolla Shores Drive. While you swing, you’ll see paragliders riding air currents above the bluffs if you look to the north. — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation who writes about the flora and fauna of La Jolla.

‘Family’ photos sought for library art exhibit The La Jolla Library Art Gallery committee is preparing summer’s One Subject exhibit, “FAMILIES: A Juried Show of Photographs,” and is seeking participants. The deadline for submissions is April 14. The exhibit challenges photographers to take the subject “families” and create an image that represents that idea within their own personal context. “Families exist in broad interpretations from a pet rabbit adopted by a cat to a night shift group of dedicated nurses or a neighborhood established over the years,” the committee suggests. “Photographers may submit up to five images for the show, black-and-white or color — no smaller than 8x10 or larger than 30x40.” Accepted photos must be framed simply in black or wood frames. The artists must live, work or exhibit within San Diego County and their submissions must have been created within the past five years. Questions?

‘Marshmallow Run’ characters celebrate the San Diego Girls Scouts reaching the funding goal to develop their coding abilities.

Girl Scouts raise $27K to learn programming The San Diego Girl Scouts have raised $27,178 through the Kickstarter.com online fundraising platform to develop a computer game based on the Scout experience: “Marshmallow Run.” With characters inspired by the cookies Girl Scouts used to sell door-to-door, the platform game promises loads of fun for developers and users. The game’s basic idea — “a bunch of marshmallows hanging out with chocolate, graham crackers and other friends” — has been set, but the platforms and code are yet to be written by Girl Scouts of different troops and ages throughout San Diego. Participants will learn skills like physics programming, gameplay scripting and data analytics. For more details, visit bit.ly/mrungame

Enhance La Jolla receives 501(c)3 designation Enhance La Jolla — the organization that will manage the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) for The Village, has received its 501(c)3 designation from the Internal Revenue Service, reports Phyllis Pfeiffer, board member and chair of the La Jolla Community Foundation. “The next step is to negotiate a contract with the City of San Diego to become the local manager of the MAD. Once the contract is finalized, the

board of Enhance La Jolla will need to develop a budget for the first year of operation, which needs to be approved by the City Council. A competitive bid process will then occur to select contractors to perform the maintenance functions spelled out in the contract and budget,” she said. The Village MAD was approved by voters and ratified by the San Diego City Council in November. The assessments — which will mean about half a million dollars a year for maintenance in La Jolla — will start to be collected via a property tax bill beginning in late 2017 for use in 2018. Ways in which these assessments could be used include: new and upgraded trash cans; benches; enhanced signage; traffic calming projects, such as roundabouts; park improvements, in partnership with La Jolla Parks & Beaches Committee; La Jolla Recreation Center improvements, in partnership with La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc.; tree canopies on main thoroughfares; and public art.

Gillispie raises record $3,139 for blood bank Gillispie School students in third grade (and their teachers) raised a record amount of money during this year’s blood drive and bake sale, which will be donated to the San Diego Blood Bank: $3,139.60 and 33 pints of blood. On Wednesday, March 1, a representative from the San Diego Blood Bank visited the Gillispie School for a check presentation ceremony. This annual event began in 2011 in response to a former student who survived leukemia, thanks in part to a life-saving blood transfusion.

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.

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.

Country Day grad recognized by Hall of Champions Kelsey Plum, a La Jolla Country Day School grad and current University of Washington women’s basketball standout, reached the pinnacle of individual success by setting the NCAA all-time career scoring record. The accomplishment earned her an amateur Hall of Champions Star of the Month award for February — among 15 professionals, amateurs and high school athletes (including La Jolla Country Day basketball player Alaysia Styles). Plum’s recognition comes after a Pac-12 game against Utah, in which she scored a college personnel-high of 57 points, giving her 3,397 for her career with the Huskies. She added to the record with games in the Pac-12 tournament and the NCAA Tournament.

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

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!

Bessie Huang Gilula April 5, 1945 - March 2, 2017

LA JoLLA — Dr. Bessie Huang Gilula, a retired research scientist of The Scripps Research Institute and 30 year resident of La Jolla, died peacefully at her home on March 2, 2017, after a long, courageous bout with cancer. Bessie was born on April 5, 1945, in Chungking, the wartime capital of China. She came to the United States two years later with her parents, when her father, a diplomat, was posted to the Chinese embassy in Washington DC. At a very early age, Bessie took a keen interest in the study of ballet. When her family moved to Queens, NY in the early 1950’s, she began studying at the American School of Ballet under George Balanchine. Bessie was an exceptional dancer and was selected to join a number of productions including the original cast of the American classic ballet “The Nutcracker”. After graduating with

honors from the High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan, Bessie attended Sarah Lawrence College and majored in biology. Following her graduation in 1966, she pursued graduate studies in cell biology at UC Berkeley. While at Berkeley, she earned a Ph. D. in cell biology in 1971 and met the love of her life, Norton Bernard Gilula, a fellow graduate student. The two were married at the United Nations Church Center in New York in 1972 and enjoyed a 28 year professional and personal

partnership that was cut short in 2000 with Bernie’s untimely death. Bessie’s scientific pursuits focused primarily on the molecular mechanisms of cellular motility. After completing postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard Medical School in Boston and The Rockefeller University in New York, Bessie was an assistant professor at both Rockefeller and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Bessie and her family moved to La Jolla in 1986 joining the faculty of the Departments of Cell Biology and Molecular Biology at The Scripps Research Institute where she thrived until the time of her retirement in 1999. During her professional career, Bessie authored many articles featured in prominent scientific publications and was a member of numerous boards in the field of cell biology. Bessie truly was a lover of life – she traveled the

world, enjoyed cooking and eating, was an avid golfer who had two career hole-in-ones, closely followed the ups and downs of her favorite team, the Boston Red Sox, enjoyed morning walks along the beach at La Jolla Shores and most importantly was an amazing wife, mother and grandmother who always put family first. Preceded in death by her mother, Carrie Huang; and husband, Bernie. Bessie is survived by her sons, Jonathan Gilula (Robin) and Daniel Gilula; her father, Shing-Yi Huang; sister, Belle Huang (Ed); brother, Sidney Huang (Lauren); grandchildren, Brin and Cameron Gilula; and longtime companion, Lowell Dicke. She will also be missed by many dear friends and family, and especially by her beloved dog Lai-Fu. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds and race track, in 2014 completed a $4.5 million widening of the track’s turf course. Other upgrades, such as additional luxury suites, helped seal the deal, Harper said. “It’s pretty easy for me to sell something like this,” Harper said at the news conference, gesturing toward the panoramic ocean view behind him. “Of all the venues the JOE TASH Breeders’ Cup has been to, this has to be the icing on Del Mar Mayor Terry Sinnott speaks at a Breeders’ Cup the cake.” Local officials hope this news conference at Del Mar year’s Breeders’ Cup will be Plaza, Feb. 28. the first of many to be held at Del Mar. If the event is a success, said Harper, such a scenario is likely. Other Breeders’ Cup venues include the Santa Anita track in LA and Keeneland race track in Lexington, Kentucky. Next year’s Breeders’ Cup will be held at Churchill Downs, in Louisville, home of the Kentucky Derby, one of horse racing’s triple crown events. Attendance at the Del Mar Breeders’ Cup will be capped at 37,500 per day, much smaller than the crowds of more than 40,000 that attend Opening Day of the Del Mar summer race meet. The Breeders’ Cup and Del Mar Thoroughbred Club are investing $4.5 million in temporary luxury seating for the event, including two trackside “chalets,” each seating about 900 people. Also, 900 box seats are being added to the Clubhouse and Stretch Run areas of the track. The infield will feature “The Beach,” a sandy area that will hold up to 250 people with casual seating, umbrellas, a video screen and private bar. Shuttle services, as well as drop-off areas for ride-sharing and taxis, will be available, as on-site parking will be limited to those with official parking credentials, according to event planners. Over two days of racing, the Breeders’ Cup includes 13 races — plus an “under-card,” with purses and awards totaling $28 million. Local officials said the event, which attracts horse-racing fans from around the world, is expected to generate tens of millions of dollars in economic activity for the San Diego region. The event will be broadcast on NBC and a week-long festival with concerts, a golf tournament and a 10K run, is also planned.

Get to Know a Majungasaurus

theNAT presents a tribute to ‘Ultimate Dinosaurs’

BY LINDA HUTCHISON hether looming over us in a museum — or flying or galloping along in a movie — dinosaurs have been frightening and fascinating us ever since their bones were first discovered. From the Greek, dinos saurus, the word means “terrifying lizard.” Where did they live? When and why did they die out? While scientists can now answer many questions about dinosaurs, they are still uncovering whole new varieties of these ancient reptiles. Replicas of 16 of these “Ultimate Dinosaurs” are now on display at the Natural History Museum (theNAT) in Balboa Park. All are from countries in the Earth’s Southern Hemisphere, including South America, Africa, India and Australia. They evolved separately from the more familiar dinosaurs in the Northern Hemisphere, when the giant land masses broke apart approximately 250 to 65 million years ago, carrying the ancient creatures into the beginning of continents we know today. “Thirty years ago, many of these were unknown to science,” explained Tom Demere, curator of paleontology at theNAT. “They were still in the ground, waiting to be discovered.” Up until recently, he continued, paleontologists made discoveries in the northern countries, but now international and Argentinian teams are making significant discoveries in the Southern Hemisphere. “This dinosaur exhibit is unlike any seen before,” added Judy Gradwohl, president and CEO of theNAT. “Ultimate Dinosaurs features species virtually unknown to North Americans. They are interesting and different looking from when we were kids.” Beth Redmond-Jones, senior director of public programs, agrees. “These are dinosaurs that people didn’t know about before, they are not a part of pop culture.” SEE DINOSAURS, B14

The happiest years of your life

La Jolla Cultural Partners

ome months ago, AARP Bulletin ran an article about happiness and cited a study that maintained people reached the peak of happiness in their lives between 65 and 70. This, of course, immediately piqued my interest since Olof and I are both in that demographic. Some of this happiness argument makes sense. By 65 you’ve presumably turfed the kids, have maybe even paid off the mortgage, and may well have grandchildren. In our case, I think it helps that both Olof and I have decided that we’re about as good as we’re ever going to be. Since 60 has been deemed to be the new 40 (who comes up with this stuff ?????), one is statistically likely to still have a modicum of health, which is defined as two working hip joints and at least one working knee. Personally, I have the body of a centenarian. I used to say that between childhood polio, a horrific auto accident, and just plain age that I had the body of a 90 year old, but my 90-year-old friend Natasha, and my 95-year-old mother-in-law both have stronger backs and clearer minds than I do. But if 60 is the new 40, there’s pretty strong agreement that 70 is still the old 70.

It’s like your body knows it can’t keep up the pretense any more. I have to confess that when I see obituaries of people in their 70s, I’m inclined to think, “Well, they were OLD.” I’ve had to work overtime to keep up the disconnect now that I am edging up on that decade. It is a testament to the power of self-delusion that I’m still able to see people who pass away in their 60s as dying young. The AARP-quoted study maintained that people tend to be least happy in their teen years and 20s. Personally, I think eighth grade is a year that should be put out of its misery. I’ve never known anyone who was happy in eighth grade. All sorts of factors determine happiness. Most moms I know would say they are only as happy as their least happy child. And then there’s the common expression, “Happy wife, happy life.” Or as we say in our house, “Healthy dog, happy life.” We spent a whole lot of our life and assets at the vet last year. Of course, most decades are mixtures of good times and bad, but I had one decade that was pretty much a total loss. My thirties were the tough years. I got divorced. I had two tiny kids. I was poor. I had an entry level job that in its initial phase was so mind-numbingly boring that I used

to have fantasies of drinking White-Out (the stuff you used to make corrections on typewriter-generated copy in the pre-computer Pleistocene era.) Swimming laps in a very depressing dating pool, I watched my criteria for suitable guys shrink to “hasn’t been in prison.” I was really, really lonely. I was 19 when I became engaged to my first husband while still in college. Let me just say that the rules of dating in high school and early college are a whole lot different than dating as a 30-something divorcee with little kids. I decided with true Pollyanna optimism that everyone has good qualities so if someone asked me out, I initially always said yes. Everyone deserves a chance. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Who knew how many sociopathic commodities brokers were out there? “Sociopathic commodities broker,” by the way, is all one term. I still can’t believe how polite I was to these guys. I even got a marriage proposal from one of them. Actually, I think my house got the marriage proposal. (It, unlike me, had commercial value.) I guess he went long on pork bellies when he should have gone short. In my 39th year, my now-husband Olof came back into my life. We were high school exchange students together in Brazil our senior year of high school and knew we’d be lifelong friends. So my forties were exponentially happier. Who knew what a difference it made when you could actually believe a word the other person said? Other than health issues of the cancerous persuasion for both Olof and me and one horrific auto accident, the 50s and 60s have been pretty good too. I do wish spinal transplants were not in their infancy. Travel is

STUDIO M/MICHAEL SPENGLER

no fun when the airplane seats are torture and the beds leave you crippled in the morning. The AARP article said to not make your happiness dependent on other people. I’d have to disagree. For the last 30 years, happiness has been where Olof is. So we’ve still got a little time before we leave the AARP-designated happiest years of our lives and descend into the dark unknown of the 70s. There’s only one conclusion to make: Let’s just party on, Olof. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

John and Toni Bloomberg attend the Las Patronas Jewel Ball at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club in 2002.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT In 2014, when 79-year-old John Bloomberg was given an Honorary Alumnus Award by the University of Utah, he was asked, “Do you consider yourself a Wall Street guy who happens to like skiing or a skier that happened to work on Wall Street?” he quickly answered: “A skier that happened to work on Wall Street!” Bloomberg, a champion ski racer, art collector and philanthropist who, with his wife, Toni, maintained residences in Manhattan, Park City and La Jolla, died at their La Jolla home on Feb. 22 after a year-and-a-half struggle with glioblastoma, a highly malignant form of brain cancer. Until then, his life had been a series of adventures in business, sports, travel and art. One of his last wishes was to leave most of their La Jolla art collection to San Diego Museum of Art. Born in New Rochelle, New York, Bloomberg majored in chemistry at Amherst, received an MBA from Harvard, and went on to Wall Street, where his chemistry background boosted his fortunes as a pharmaceutical and chemical research analyst. He became a partner at Bear Sterns and began founding small companies on his own. Then in 1968, on a blind date, he met Toni. “I was at the New York School of Design and he was on Wall Street,” she said. “We didn’t hit it off right away; I thought he was kind of bossy. But afterward, he called and said, ‘I think we should give this another try, I really think we could get along.’ And he was right. We were married six months later, and we led a great life together for 48 years.” Bloomberg retired at 45, ready to devote himself to things other than work. In Utah, he fell in love with ski racing, though every time he entered a race, he came in last. SEE JOHN BLOOMBERG, B22

Chinese Finds a Home in Digital Age

New exhibit traces the language’s techno journey

PHOTOS BY WILL BOWEN

An item on display in the exhibit ‘Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age’

BY WILL BOWEN A full house listened attentively to a fascinating lecture by award-winning Stanford University history professor Thomas S. Mullaney, Feb. 21, at the Chinese Historical Society Archives Building in the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown San Diego. The lecture was part of the opening for the exhibit, “Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age,” on display through April 16, at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Extension of the museum, 328 J St. “We are very excited because ours is the first museum in the country to show this exhibit to the public before it travels all around the world!” said Tiffany Wai-Ying Beres, executive director of the museum, who recently took over from retiring leader Alex Chuang. “This exhibit is highly important because this is the first time the history and significance of Chinese Information Technology (IT) has been examined in a scholarly manner. “It was just the right combination of good luck, good fortune and good connections that brought the exhibit to our fair city.” Tanya Aubin, the museum’s communications coordinator, added, “The exhibit is headed next to the SFO Airport Museum in San Francisco, followed by The Museum of Chinese in America in New York, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, before ending up in Beijing and Nanking.”

Among the items on display is a pair of rare Chinese and Japanese typewriters, a 1980s Chinese word processor, an interactive Chinese character-generating computer, plus numerous books, pamphlets and posters.

FROM CHINESE TYPEWRITER, B5 Professor Mullaney introduced the exhibition by stating his purpose was to “explore how one of the oldest written languages in the world found its place in the 21st century digital world.” “I want to demonstrate,” he continued, “how the currently popular and accepted history of IT development — which focuses on westerners such as Steve Jobs, founder of APPLE, and the like — is incomplete and erroneous because contributions from East Asia have been left out. In a nutshell, the evidence suggests that East Asians working on the development of a Chinese language typewriter made substantial contributions to IT that ended up influencing the development of the modern computer. “My hope is that people will gain a deeper appreciation of the Chinese innovators who made the Chinese typewriter and word processor possible. These Chinese may have

experienced a series of grand failures in developing a usable typewriter, but these failures added up to something highly significant.” Mullaney went on to explain that 16 percent of the world’s population (about 1.2 billion people), speak Chinese, which is one of the six languages of the United Nations. Although there are many variants and dialects, the majority of speakers use “Standard Chinese,” based on the Beijing dialect. Mullaney said Chinese is one of the world’s oldest languages, dating back over 3,000 years. Although spoken Chinese has changed quite a bit over the millennium, the written script has remained about the same. The first examples of written Chinese were found on divinatory “oracle bones,” dated to 1,250 BCE, during the Shang Dynasty. The first Chinese books, such as the “I Ching” or Book of Changes, were written during the Late Shang period.

An item on display in the exhibit ‘Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age’ Although the Chinese language has survived under changing conditions, people were very worried its days were numbered and it would become obsolete as humanity moved into the modern digital age. How could Chinese, a logographic form of writing with no alphabet and over 70,000 characters — and with a knowledge of at least 3,000 characters needed to read a daily newspaper — be fitted onto a keyboard for use with a computer, the Internet or cell phones? Faced with this seemingly impossible dilemma, the Chinese got to work trying to construct such an instrument. The first Chinese typewriter, called the “Tong Xhi,” came to life in 1916. It was developed by Hou-Kun Chow, while he was studying at MIT. But it never made it into production. The second Chinese typewriter, the “Ming Kwai” or “Quick & Clear,” was built by Lin Yutang in 1946. Wan Runnan of the Stone Typewriter Company in China developed the first

usable word processor in 1984. Called the “MS2400,” it made his company one of the most successful Chinese businesses during the 1980s and 1990s. According to Beres, “For the longest time, the idea of a Chinese typewriter was laughed at and seen as a metaphor for something that was ‘absurd, complex and backward,’ but the truth is that it’s now possible to input Chinese into a computer at a much faster rate than English — making you wonder where the future of computing just might go!” ■ IF YOU GO: “Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age,” runs through April 16 at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Extension of the Chinese Historical Society Archives Building, 328 J St. in downtown San Diego.

The Therapeutic Kitchen

hh, the heady aromas of pies, cinnamon buns and cookies perfuming the house are both nostalgic and intoxicating. But the whole baking process to me, including measuring, blending, kneading, rolling, pouring, and decorating is a calming cakewalk (pardon the pun). As long as you follow directions closely, the end product will be divine. And even though creativity is limited by the fixed methodology, there is still some leeway, especially when doing the finishing touches. But the pièce de résistance — the masterpiece that emerges from the oven, gives a great feeling of accomplishment, and instant gratification. Then when serving the delight, you nurture with a slice of love, which tends to warm one’s own heart. But for those intimidated by baking, some “coping mechanisms” to help embrace the process, include using light-colored cookie sheets and pans to lessen the chance of burning the bottoms of cookies, crusts and cakes. Also, the middle oven rack, along with parchment paper, are a baker’s best friends to prevent overbrowning, and heavy-duty mitts will protect you from burns. It’s also OK to cheat a little with ready-made crusts, pie fillings and puffed pastries.

Baking vs Cooking

While baking’s more of a structured event, a symphony where the players follow the maestro, on the other hand, cooking is a jazz improvisation with a lot more flurry and creativity. It’s still a good distraction from life’s worries, creating a calming effect. Yet, people angst over cooking, perhaps because they’re preparing dishes for others to judge.

Super Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Fondue ■ Ingredients: 1/2-cup heavy whipping cream, 1/4-cup hazelnut or almond milk, 1-teaspoon hazelnut extract, 20 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or chunks, 1/4-cup chocolate liqueur or Frangelico ■ Dippables: (Your choice) Dried apricots, pineapple chunks, tangerine segments, almond biscotti, jumbo strawberries, ladyfingers ■ Method: In a small saucepan on medium heat, bring cream to a soft boil. Remove from heat and add chocolate. Stir until melted. Blend extract and liqueur. If too thick, stir in milk. Transfer to fondue pot and arrange dipping items on a platter. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

So to alleviate the stress of cooking for a crowd, plot out a game plan. Compile a guest list with their dietary tastes and restrictions, then create a menu. Finally, prep and cook ahead. Some foods actually taste better days after they are made as flavors meld. Many dishes can be frozen or refrigerated, then simply reheated on the day of the event. Now, how about some bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of 70 percent or higher to boost your mood, thanks to its high levels of antioxidants, namely polyphenols and flavonols. A recent Swiss study has also shown the darling to lessen stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. (See recipe above!)

Former La Jollan is stepping out in ‘Kinky Boots’

JOAN MARCUS

Timothy Ware as Lulu in ‘Kinky Boots,’ coming to Civic Theatre March 9-12.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “Kinky Boots,” first a hit British movie and then a hit Broadway musical, is making a return visit to San Diego as part of its long-running national tour. Based on the 2005 film, which was inspired by a true story, “Kinky Boots” is about a man who inherits a failing shoe factory and ends up forming an unlikely partnership with a flamboyant drag queen to produce a wildly successful line of high-heeled boots — “fetish footwear” — for drag artists. With a book by two-time Tony-winning writer Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by 1980s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, the show opened on Broadway in 2013, was hailed for its “heart and soul,” and took home six Tonys, including Best Musical and Best Score, adding a 2016 Olivier Award for Best New Musical after its London opening. Broadway San Diego originally brought “Kinky Boots” here in 2014, at the start of the national tour. This time, one of the cast members is a young woman who got her start in La Jolla. Meryn Beckett, now 27, said she was born in New York, and moved to La Jolla when she was 8 years old. Soon after being enrolled in Torrey Pines Elementary, she went to see a performance at San Diego Junior Theatre in Balboa Park with her father, who was also an actor. “It was ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,’ and I remember turning to my father and saying: ‘I have to

do this!’ ’’ she said in a recent interview. “They were having auditions for ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and I was heartbroken when I didn’t get a part, but then I tried out for ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ and I made it, and ended up doing tons of shows with them over the next 11 years. And they’ll be doing that same show, my first, at the exact same time I’m here with ‘Kinky Boots’ on my first national tour! So I really feel that

this is full circle for me.” Besides Junior Theatre, and several musicals with the J*Company at La Jolla’s Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center, Beckett credits her teachers with encouraging her to continue her studies at Boston Conservatory Theater. Now based in New York, she is currently Assistant Dance Captain and Swing in the touring “Kinky Boots.” “The Swing is a show’s super-hero,” she explained. “If anyone gets sick, I go on. I’ve played all my roles multiple times. It’s a lot of work, but it’s taught me so much, and nothing is ever routine. Every time I’m onstage, it’s different, and I get to experience the show from a different point of view.” In Spokane, the tour’s last stop before San Diego, Timothy Ware took over the lead role of drag queen Lola, while the previous Lola, J. Harrison Ghee, moved on to Broadway. The original Lola standby on Broadway, Ware will be in Lola’s boots at San Diego Civic Theater. “We were the third city to have ‘Kinky Boots’ when it began its tour,” said Christann Heideman, associate marketing director of Broadway/San Diego. “Our audiences were definitely fans of the production, so we’re excited to be bringing it back.” ■ IF YOU GO: Meryn Beckett is scheduled to be onstage 8 p.m. Friday, March 10. “Kinky Boots,” plays matinee and evening performances, March 9-12, at San Diego Civic Theatre, 3rd and B St., downtown San Diego.

LeTip of La Jolla president Natasha Serrano speaks at a recent meeting.

The LeTip of La Jolla chapter is 68 members strong ... and growing.

It’s 35 years for LeTip of La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN March 2 marked the 35th anniversary of LeTip of La Jolla, considered to be the “flagship” chapter of the international business networking and referral group. The group meets 6:45 a.m. Fridays at the Sheraton La Jolla Hotel, 3299 Holiday Court, to exchange information about their businesses and provide “tips” of prospective clients. To celebrate its longevity, the membership held a party, March 2 at La Jolla Woman’s Club, 7791 Draper Ave. “LeTip of La Jolla is successful because people want to do business with those they know, like and trust. Yes, the Internet and sites like Yelp are great, and often times we leave Yelp reviews for one another, but you don’t have that personal support and connection. You don’t get to have that personal dynamic,” said LeTip of La Jolla president Natasha Serrano. “The energy of this group is really what sets us apart from other chapters. This is what LeTip chapters aspire to become,” she added.

“Most chapters have 15-20 members, and we have 68 and growing. We are proud of the fact that we are considered the flagship of the region. When people contact LeTip corporate in Arizona saying they are interested in joining a chapter in the San Diego area, they are immediately referred here.” Here’s how it works: Members must represent area businesses (that do not have to be in La Jolla), and each week, have the opportunity to share what their business does and provide any news or updates, so members can get to know one another and confidently refer prospective clients to the people in the group. “Every member of the club knows me, knows my business, knows my family and feels good about referring people to me,” Serrano said. “It has transformed our businesses and I credit this membership with doubling our revenue.” To avoid competition within the group, only one person can fill each “category” of business, but with nearly 700 categories from which to choose, opportunities are still

LeTip La Jolla members Jason and Manda Hall, Brandon Methey and Katie Holt

available to join. The categories get fairly specific, and there is a five-page, multi-column list of categories available at letiplajolla.org, put out by LeTip International and ranges from Auto Detailer to Restaurant Fine Dining (and Restaurant Casual Dining) to Yoga Instructor. Membership chair Sidney Loiseau added, “When I first joined the group, I just referred myself to people when I needed a painter or an attorney. But we have a ‘menu’ of people in our club that I keep in my car in case I, or someone I know, needs a service. It’s good to know someone in that industry, and have them know me, when I need something.” Providing referrals, which are known as “tips” in the meetings, is part of membership requirements. To better help the membership get to know one another, two or three members speak for about seven minutes each at every meeting. “We are here to grow each other’s businesses and when someone speaks, you get amazing nuggets of information that

make you that much more confident in referring that person to someone you know,” Serrano said. Members, in turn, are very selective about who they invite to the meetings and, ultimately, to become members (a prospective member must be voted in, and only if their category is open). “I brought someone that I worked with a few weeks ago, but I waited until I had seen her work ethic and got to know her personality,” Serrano said. Other membership requirements include paying the one-time $390 Le Tip International fee and quarterly dues of $195, which cover breakfast at the meetings and the four functions the club hosts each year. Loiseau noted the more people you bring in, and the longer you’ve been a member, the dues go down. — The next LeTip of La Jolla meeting is 6:45 a.m. Friday, March 10 at the Sheraton La Jolla Hotel, 3299 Holiday Court.

SPONSORED COLUMNS PANCHO DEWHURST GDC Construction 858.551.5222

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s

recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13. The San Diego Historical Resources Board is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you are interested in restoring or preserving a historic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a signiﬁcant alteration, or demolition, to a

building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties. Restoring a house means returning the appearance of both the exterior and interior of the structure to the time period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally have

indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood ﬂoor in hard-to-ﬁnd pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home. Rehabilitating an historic house means making it functional and livable for contemporary life, while maintaining its important historic and architectural features.

FROM TIM BESSELL, B1 started doing fine art. I grew up making art with her on Cabrillo Street. So I’ve always made art, but I didn’t really make surfboards until I was 13, so I was an artist long before I was a surfboard maker. But surfboard making has allowed me the great opportunity of embracing my art and paying for it, because it’s a good business to be in.”

What do you do for fun?

“I love hanging out with my family. I have two daughters and a wonderful girlfriend, Robin. I love surfing, I occasionally play golf, I travel the world surfing and having art shows. That’s super fun! I have a fun lifestyle.”

Where do you surf?

“Usually down the street at WindanSea because it’s easy and usually better than most places.”

PHOTOS BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Surfboard shaper and artist Tim Bessell poses with some of his Andy Warhol-inspired creations.

“I get up and I walk to the beach with my dogs and my girlfriend, then have breakfast and get to work around 9 a.m. I work and then go home for lunch. Depending on the surf, I pick a time to go out. Incoming tide with low wind in a building swell, that’s the combo. I go surfing, come back. Robin is a great chef. She’s a real urban farmer, I’m super lucky. We have chickens and bees, and she uses almost everything out of our garden to cook.”

And back then, there were surfboard factories in La Jolla. In the early 1970s, WindanSea was a hub for surfboard manufacturers, great designers … we had such a great lineage in advancing the world of surfing — both the sport, and the craft and design of a surfboard. Then I worked in a factory in North County called Sunset Labels, which at that time was one of the premier labels in the world. But I loved Hawaii and I was so enamored with surfing the North Shore, that’s all I wanted to do when I graduated from high school. I also wanted to go to work for the best surfboard company in the world, which was also in Hawaii, so I did, and that was a real honor, and it launched my career.”

How did you learn your craft?

Do you have a favorite board?

How often do you surf?

“Depending on the quality of the surf and the water, I’d surf twice a day if I could. But on average, I probably surf five days a week.”

What are your routines?

“I made my first surfboard up the street, and then I sold one, and another, and another. I did everything from start to finish.

“Over the years, you’re going to have these memories of certain days’ waves, and boards, and you don’t have that many. So I’d say the

board I’m riding now, called the Barracuda, is the best surfboard I’ve ever rode.”

What do the different tails on surfboards mean?

“There’s basically two tails, the swallow and the pin. If you have a pin tail, the board is going to drift through the water really straight; it’s good for big waves, riding the barrel and if you want to go fast. But with the swallow tail, the wave is breaking off two points, which is making it much easier to turn. So as a designer, I want to make surfboards that are super fast, light, durable and responsive.”

How has the craft evolved?

“About 30 years ago, they invented the first machine for making surfboards. The machine scans one side, and then duplicates it. Which is great, for models and big production. But if you’re not in big production, and you’re more custom, it doesn’t lend itself to it. For part of my business, we do use machines for high-performance board production, but custom boards are all hand shaped by me.

La Jolla craftsman and designer Bessell shapes a surfboard blank at his Westbourne Street workshop, March 1. And I love that, I love shaping.”

How much does one of your surfboards cost?

“The high-performance riders go from $500 to $1,500, but the art series boards range from $5,000 to $40,000.”

How has La Jolla changed?

“When I was a kid, we would be able to walk every street and not see a car. We knew everybody in school. In my second grade class, there were 22 kids. It was a very small town. Today, there are very few vacant lots, and there were many when I was kid. I loved growing up here. But some things are a lot better now, like our air. When I was in my early teens, the smog was so bad, and today the air quality is as good as I’ve ever seen it. The water quality is much better, too, because of Donna Fry (former San Diego City Council member) and all her work to make that happen. Thank you, Donna! But we have a big problem with pollution and the seals. They’re polluting the water, and that needs to be addressed in a positive way.”

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

La Jolla Library celebrates children’s author with storytime, party

n what would have been Theodore Geisel’s (aka Dr. Seuss’) 113th birthday, March 2, the La Jolla Riford Library held a Dr. Seuss Party in its community room. Youth Services Librarian Angie Stava kicked things off with storytime, specifically the lesser known “10 Apples Up On Top” and then a part of “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.” Next, the children embarked on craft making and cupcake decorating, some dressed in Seuss-themed costumes. Sarah Beckman, 8, said she loves Dr. Seuss

books because they include “imaginary creatures that say (silly things) ... and I like to say silly things like ku-ku-it.” Her sister Anna’s favorite is “Green Eggs and Ham” because the story lines rhyme. For a different reason, “Green Eggs and Ham” is also one of two favorites for Alexander Allbort, 6. “My favorite color is green, so my favorites are ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ and ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas’ because the Grinch is green and you can actually make green eggs and ham. I made them once and it turns out, they are my

favorite way to eat eggs and ham!” For Jake Weiss, 6 (and a half), a favorite is “Oh, The Places You’ll Go” because, “When you read it, you can see different things and different places. The animals are really cool. I like that all the Dr. Seuss books rhyme and they are fun to read.” Dr. Seuss lived in La Jolla for more than 40

years until his death in 1991. In his lifetime, he produced more than 60 children’s books, which have been translated into more than 20 languages. Some of his most popular — “Horton Hears a Who!” “The Cat in the Hat,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” and “Green Eggs and Ham” — were reportedly written from his La Jolla home.

Undaunted, he kept at it and two decades later, he won the U.S. Masters Championship (twice), joined the Board of Directors of the U.S Ski and Snowboard Association, and finally, at 78, proudly accepted the gold medal for senior racers at the International Ski Federation World Championship in Park City. Art became another of his passions. He and his wife amassed an impressive collection of impressionist and American Art, and he served on the State of Utah Arts Advisory Board and the Getty Museum Paintings Conservation Council. His life was not always smooth skiing. In the 1990s, he suddenly started losing his vision. In the process of researching solutions, he found Dr. Randall Olson, an ophthalmologist at the University of Utah’s Moran Eye Center whose surgical intervention managed to save his sight. Deeply grateful, the Bloombergs made significant donations to the Moran Center, enabling the creation of the John and Toni Bloomberg Ophthalmology Library. They also gave the Center many of the paintings by early Utah artists that they had been collecting over the years, and Bloomberg joined the Board of Trustees of Research to Prevent Blindness, an organization that supports the work of vision scientists nationwide. Meanwhile, the couple enjoyed their time in San Diego. Toni became a trustee of the San Diego Museum of Art and they filled their La Jolla hilltop home with impressionist and post-impressionist paintings. “We love all our homes, but La Jolla has always been a special place for us,” Toni said. “We were in New York for John’s 80th birthday, and had a fabulous dinner party at La Grenouille. Then he was diagnosed with glioblastoma. Last year, we celebrated his 81st birthday at home here, around the table with a few good friends.” Among the art works the Bloombergs will

His enthusiasm was infectious, and his collection will greatly enhance our holdings of late 19th and early 20th century art.” In his wife’s words, “John was the smartest, most interesting person I ever met, and the most fun companion. He was also a philanthropist who truly believed in giving back. As a friend of ours wrote, ‘He left a legacy of philanthropy, great friendship and sporting prowess behind.’ ”

(619) 405-8172 or grandykreder@gmail.com ■ San Diego Police Department’s Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol (RSVP), Northern Division, seeks additional volunteers to serve in the communities of La Jolla, University City, UTC, Pacific and Mission Beaches, Bay Park and Clairemont. RSVP duties include patrolling local neighborhoods while serving as additional eyes and ears for the police department. Volunteers must be at least age 50, possess a California drivers license and be willing to work at least one day per week and attend a short monthly training session. Each patrol is about eight hours. Although the work is not very demanding

physically, one must frequently get in and out of patrol cars, occasionally climb stairs, move light materials and have good hearing. Directing traffic sometimes necessitates standing two or more hours. After a background check, volunteers are trained at a one-week academy. Following graduation, new members do a ride along with a SDPD officer and then are assigned to an experienced RSVP Field Training Officer for four training patrols prior to beginning regular RSVP patrols. For more information or to sign up for the Ride-Along, contact SDPD’s Northern Division RSVP at (858) 552-1737 or e-mail sdpdnorthern@pd.sandiego.gov
