BY ASHLEY MACKIN he Murals of La Jolla public art project has a new and innovative addition in “Suns,” which was installed on the Empress Hotel at 7766 Fay Ave. on March 6. The mural is the first in the project’s six-year history that was done by more than one person. “It’s exciting to have two important artists of our time collaborating on a creation for La Jolla,” said Lynda Forsha, Murals of La Jolla curator. “The mural is experimental and the image is very powerful and dynamic.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Suspect arrested following sexual assault in La Jolla A man accused of sexually assaulting a woman in La Jolla on Wednesday, March 2 was arrested a short time later, police said. Marco Antonio Villasenor, 25, pleaded not guilty Friday, March 4 to assault with intent to commit rape and other charges. He was ordered held on $100,000 bail. Villasenor faces up to eight years in prison if convicted, said Deputy District Attorney Judy Taschner. Police said the 25-year-old victim was walking to her car on Exchange Place near Virgina Way shortly after 9 p.m. when she noticed a man following her, and then heard him running up to her. Police said the assailant, reportedly from Oxnard in Ventura County (more than three hours north of La Jolla) grabbed the woman from behind, threw her on the ground and sexually assaulted her. The woman fought the man off and screamed for help, then called 911. Officers found the suspect walking on Fay Avenue near Kline Street shortly after. The woman identified Villasenor and he was arrested. A readiness conference was set for March 15 and a preliminary hearing for March 17. Editor’s Note: After hearing about the attempted sexual assault, a La Jollan told La Jolla Light she had been accosted hours before, when someone grabbed at her thigh while she was walking to her car. She tried to
report the incident to authorities, but said she hung up after being placed on hold for what she thought was too long a time. She repeated her attempts to report the encounter, but could not get through to the appropriate agency by phone.
La Jolla Elementary community warns of residential burglaries Families and neighbors surrounding La Jolla Elementary School are reporting – and want to get the word out about – a recent increase in home burglaries during the daytime and early evening hours. An e-blast was sent to the school community warning of this trend and suggesting concerned citizens establish Neighborhood Watch programs and/or sign up for neighborhood-based social networking sites such as nextdoor.com Through sites like nextdoor.com neighbors and police can post updates and reports of criminal activity in the community. Police remind residents to always lock their car doors, and their home and garage doors and windows.
Art supplies stolen from local teacher La Jolla resident Cherry Sweig, who teaches painting classes along La Jolla’s coastline and exhibited at last year’s La Jolla
Art & Wine Festival, had more than $2,700 in art supplies stolen from her car. “I was teaching painting lessons on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I left my supplies in the car Tuesday night (March 1),” she told La Jolla Light. “Someone broke the window of my car and stole all my art supplies — including my best paints and brushes.” The supplies were in her car near her home at WindanSea, which has experienced a rash of burglaries from houses and vehicles. “The worst part is that I can’t imagine these people know what they have,” Sweig said, “There was $400 in paint alone.” She said she filed a police report online, after multiple attempts to get through to police over the phone.

Parks & Beaches group grapples with bylaws
Conditions for new members, term limits under the microscope
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Continuing its lengthy discussion (which technically started in late 2015), La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group debated revisions to its bylaws during its Feb. 25 meeting. At the forefront was how new members would be brought on and what board term limits might be. Revised in 2011 and again in 2013, LJP&B chair Dan Allen explained of the bylaws, “We thought we ought to revise them based on our experiences in the first few years, adding clarifying items such as ‘excused absences’ and institutionalizing the waiting list for new members.” A sub-committee came together to pour over the current bylaws and adjust the terms to more accurately reflect how meetings are run, and conform the bylaws to match a new set of standardized guidelines for recreation councils, issued by the city. At the LJP&B February meeting, the board reviewed the proposed changes, preparing for a vote in March. However, planned revisions that address membership and term-limits generated more than an hour of discussion and debate.
voted in to guarantee equal representation. … So we would need to say ‘we need representation from this area not that area’ and ‘thanks but no thanks (to prospective members that represents an area we already have)’ ” Member Phyllis Minick opined, “This is beginning to sound like a sorority.”
Term-limit terms

Who can be a member?
The first major change, which would be implemented to get LJP&B bylaws in line with city standards, alters how members are brought onto the board. “Right now, in order to become a member, you have to come to three consecutive meetings in a 12-month period and then not miss three subsequent meetings. If any opening doesn’t come up, you have to keep coming,” Allen said. “Under these revised bylaws, you have to attend consecutive three meetings within 12 months, submit a
letter of intent, statement of qualifications, residence and interest to the council.” Further, member Ann Dynes noted because the city guidelines require boards like LJP&B be representative of a wide variety of groups that live, operate or run a business in the area, a member could only be seated if he or she meet a representative need. “Right now, we let whoever is next in line become a member, so how do we ensure that kind of representation? It’s a very different model,” she said. “The new bylaws suggest a new member would be
Preferring to craft the language to either impose a secret ballot or reject the voting element altogether, the board documented its concerns, and proceeded to the next contentious item: term-limits. Carrying over from discussions at a special meeting held in early January and a regular meeting in late January, the board previously determined (reluctantly, for some members) to adopt term limits. LJP&B member Patrick Ahern, who assisted with the bylaw revisions, said the sub-committee took a random sample of 10 recreation councils out of 32 in the city of San Diego and most, if not all, have term limits. “There are different ways to approach term limits, so we need to get a consensus and rewrite and refine the bylaws,” he said. At the January meeting, the board informally approved term limits of four years with the option to succeed oneself for an additional four-year term. After two, four-year terms, one would have to take a year off. However, it was noted that if a member initiated or worked on a project,

Downside to limits
ASHLEY MACKIN
La Jolla Parks & Beaches member Patrick Ahern with bylaw revision suggestions, and new member Cindy Greatrex during the “year off,” he or she could still advise on projects as a general member. Alternatives were put forward for consideration that formalizes how to implement the new term limits — including drawing lots for how long current members would remain on board (terming out in 2018, 2019 and 2020) and grandfathering in everyone who is still on the board, and starting everyone’s four-year term at the January 2017 meeting (the latter raising the concern of everyone terming out at the same time). The option most favored (without a formal vote) was to have all members on the council at the January 2017 meeting not be subject to term limits. Any potential member who joins the council after the January 2017 meeting will begin a four-year term and will be eligible to serve a second four-year term.
The notion of term limits previously raised concern for some members, who argue LJP&B members initiate projects on city land, unlike many other community advisory groups. “This is a blanket policy for a lot of different kinds of groups that don’t do what our group does — our group is involved with many, some multi-million-dollar, projects,” said member Ken Hunrichs. “Not just as an advisory to these projects, but initiating those projects and carrying them through. The people on this committee drive those projects forward, we’re not just advising.” Agreeing, Minick — whose Children’s Pool Walk Project will cost more than $250,000 to complete — said she thought the imposition of term limits would “squelch” the efforts of those who want to launch public improvement projects. Member Judy Adams Halter, who established a project to replace restrooms at La Jolla Cove, disagreed. “Because the parks are on city land, we need to be in good standing with the city to get anything done,” she said, and she supported adopting bylaws that align LJP&B with the city. Added Ahern, “The city will listen to us as an advisory group (the status we maintain if we adopt city-approved bylaws), but if we are an independent group, the city can choose to listen to our recommendations or not. If we lose our position as an advisory group, we lose a lot of power.” The board intends to vote on the bylaws at its next meeting, 4:30 p.m. Monday, March 28 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org
FROM MURAL, A1 the colors in the sky, you realize it’s not just a photo of a sunset. There is richness, if people look at it longer.” The image began as a photo taken by Fu of the La Jolla skyline after the sun went down, from the vantage point of what would become the mural’s home — the Empress Hotel. “It’s the view from the window,” she said. “I took several pictures that day, and the photography I’ve been doing lately is much more abstract, so to take an image of the sky or a sunset isn’t something I would have done.” Pleased with her shot, Fu sent the photo cross-country to longtime friend and first-time collaborator Kim in New York, who said he pinned it to the wall of his studio to study it. “A sunset is such a typical image, and we didn’t want a corny/clichéd tourist image for our mural. We wanted to make a new thing by adding our process,” Kim said. “The sun had already set in Victoria’s photo, so I took a bright lamp in my studio shone the light at the photo, and the glare from the lamp looked like a sun, so I took a picture of her picture on my wall.” The title “Suns” is meant to suggest that there are multiple suns in the picture — the real sun you don’t see that created the colorful sky and the fake sun you see. “It just came to me once I saw the photo,” Kim said. “I really wanted it to be about light and the digital photo process. And that particular spot in La Jolla was the perfect place for it.”
He added that as a La Jolla Country Day School graduate, he’s excited to have his art displayed in his hometown. “Some might see a beautiful sunset, or a corny sunset, but I think most people will walk by it and see something nice. But if you stop and really look at it, you’ll see the sun doesn’t really look like a sun, it’s beyond seeing a pretty thing, that’s not art. It’s when you stop to think about it that it becomes art.” Echoing his point, Fu added, “I wanted something that works at first glance, even for a millisecond; viewers can enjoy it for that second, but if they look at the image a little longer, they see there is so much more there.” Both artists derivate from their standard media for this project. While Fu dabbles in photography, she is known for her videography and film installations. Kim, who began his artistic career as a poet, said he found that monochromatic or dichromatic painting was a way to create visual poetry. After years of discussing a collaboration, the two looked forward to working together for the Murals of La Jolla project and going outside their comfort zones. “It was a 50/50 effort to conceive and form an idea. I took pictures in La Jolla. He took a photo of the photo. We both took a single shot and manipulated it,” Fu said. “What I love about collaborations is that they push you. The project might be in the realm of what you normally do, but there is an added perimeter that keeps you going at a rapid pace.” ■ ON THE WEB: muralsoflajolla.com

FROM SEA LION BARRIER, A1 the sea lion presence on the bluffs, Coastal Committee president Steve Haskins presented the rolling cylinders plan to various community advisory groups in recent months — and all approved of the plan. The barriers got the support of La Jolla Parks & Beaches, La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association and La Jolla Town Council during their monthly meetings. As previously reported in La Jolla Light, the idea is to install posts and stainless steel cables across key access points on the lower portion of the bluffs next to The Cove (which the sea lions use to climb to the rarely-rinsed upper level so they can rest and dry off ), and string rotating, plastic cylinders across them so the animals cannot climb to the larger, flatter area where they congregate and defecate. The lower bluffs, which are doused regularly with the tides, would still provide them a resting spot. “Although it is not as big a deal this time of year as it will be in a few months, you can bet this will be a big issue when the weather warms up,” Haskins said. “I think moving forward in some fashion is something everyone can support, and maybe some expert will come up with another way of implementing this plan, but at least we’ll be moving forward. Up until now, there has been no real proposal brought forward.” Presenting various alternatives the committee explored — and soon deemed inappropriate for the area — Haskins offered options such as visual deterrents, audio deterrents, larger physical barriers, and more, before revealing the committee’s final recommendation.
deflate one. “These are often used on boats, 70-90 foot-long boats, and made to withstand other giant boats crashing into them on a regular basis; they are virtually indestructible,” he said. However, LJCPA member Brian Will noted, “This won’t just be subject to the random vandal looking for a cheap thrill. I think there will be people opposed to the barrier who will intentionally try to dismantle it.” Haskins said he realized this was a possibility, but hoped it would not be the case. ASHLEY MACKIN
Yolanda De Riquer (with help from LJCPA president Cindy Greatrex) holds an example of the inflatable barrier to string along the bluffs at La Jolla Cove. “The Western Regional Head of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Long Beach suggested a barrier with some sort of spinning object that sea lions cannot get a grasp of,” Haskins explained, adding that the posts would be easily removable should the need arise, and would be installed below the line-of-sight to preserve views. In total, 70-75 linear feet of cable would be strung. “These are strong, inflatable plastic barriers that would not harm sea lions and are made to be in marine environments for long periods of time,” he said. “All the parts are available on the shelf now, nothing would have to be specially made.” One audience member asked if the cylinders are strong enough to withstand the occasional vandal, and Haskins said it would require a “large knife” to puncture and

Two million-dollar questions
At every previous presentation, and at LJCPA, two key concerns arose: Where will the sea lions go should they lose the bluffs as a resting place, and Why can’t the city just wash the rocks with water to remove the pervasively pungent sea lion waste? ■ Where will they go? “This is like the idea that if you squeeze a balloon, it’s going to get fatter somewhere else. I don’t know where they will go,” Haskins said. Although he entertained the possibility that the animals might to go the beach at La Jolla Cove, he did not see it as a strong possibility. “Generally, they prefer rocks and prefer to stay dry. At the Cove bluffs, they can stay on the rocks all day and all night without getting wet, which is harder to do on a beach.” Should the sea lions decide to haul out on the beach, which Haskins said was “conceivable,” it might be the lesser of two evils. “It might smell, but it would smell a lot less because the tide would come in and wash the beach daily,” he said. “The rocks will sit for months and not get cleaned, so
the waste builds up.” ■ Why can’t the city just wash the rocks? Haskins said the discharge permit required from the state’s Water Resources Control Board to do this, involves a five-year application process and extensive scientific testing. Further, it might not be allowed because of the possible impacts to the ecology of the underwater park at La Jolla Cove. “Our idea was to use lifeguard boats that have a fire hose and use water from The Cove and wash the rocks. But it’s viewed as taking water and discharging it back into the ocean, so we would need the discharge permit, and we didn’t want to wait five years. We would also have to consider the amount of bacteria that would be going into the water if we were washing it every day,” he said. Outgoing LJCPA member Joe LaCava, who previously supported the idea of starting the permitting process concurrent to the barrier plan, said he was “no longer in support” of that idea. “The important thing is to not only get rid of the smell but to also ensure those rocks are available to the public,” LaCava said. “So the key thing is keeping the sea lions away from the ridge. If we try washing, that is not going to keep them away. It just doesn’t make sense to me anymore.” Arguing that it was “time for action,” LJCPA trustee David Little moved to accept the barrier in concept, which passed unanimously. Now that all affected La Jolla groups have weighed-in — and agree on the proposal by near unanimity — the proposal will be on its way to the Mayor’s office. Stay tuned.

White House Science Adviser visits UC Institute John Holdren weighs in on his heavy duties BY WALTER MEYER “Dr. Holdren has about 15 positions, but only one paycheck,” said Tai Ming Cheung, as he introduced the director of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy for a lecture Feb. 29 at the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. John Holdren’s talk, “Science, Technology and Innovation: The View from the White House Science Adviser,” was the fifth annual Herb York Memorial Lecture. Cheung, the director of the IGCC, listed the incredible number of committees that Holdren chairs and co-chairs, and the range of sciences both theoretical and applied that fall under his purview and joked, “We only got him here because it’s a leap year and his assistants forgot to book him for this day.” The list of Holdren’s responsibilities would be daunting enough just by their number, but their importance is equally impressive. His team looks at weapons of mass destruction, cyber security threats that could paralyze the country, mining genomes to study diseases and researching how to deflect asteroids that could wipe out life on Earth. He said they are asking, “Are we smarter than the dinosaurs?” who failed to do anything about the rock that killed them.
ERIK JEPSEN/UCSD PUBLICATIONS
John Holdren has degrees from MIT and Stanford and has been a MacArthur Fellow, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and a recipient of the Heinz Award in Public Policy. He was an adviser to President Clinton on science issues and taught at Harvard prior to joining President Obama’s science team. And he added President Obama has told him, “We need to better understand space weather” because solar storms and other events outside Earth’s atmosphere could disrupt communications and more on the planet.
He hit the ground running
Holdren said that he was not aware of
the range of responsibilities he had and learned about more of them on a daily basis. Shortly after taking the job in 2009 at the beginning of Obama’s first term, Holdren learned that the head of NASA reports directly to him and through him to the president. He goes from meeting to meeting on high-level, complicated topics where it would be impossible to not do his homework and try to bluff his
way through discussions with some of the smartest people in the world. It was apparent that Holdren respects the president and in reference to Obama’s keen interest in science, he quoted from his first inaugural address, “We will restore science to its rightful place.” Holdren is also on the President’s Science Advisory Committee and from the number of reports the president has requested, it is apparent that Obama respects Holdren and that team as well, “unlike President Nixon who fired his science advisers for giving him reports he didn’t like.” Holdren said he has been privileged to be director of the largest team ever in their roles — 135 members — three times the number under President Bush and twice as many as at the previous peak under President Clinton. Holdren said Obama “has talked more about science than any other president,” including welcoming science fairs and student mathletes to the Oval Office.
Global warming and climate change
Although Holdren said he was supposed to avoid discussing politics, it was clearly difficult for him to refrain, especially when discussing the resistance he meets with many elected officials when discussing global warming. He said he was “having trouble with certain members of Congress who inexplicably

don’t support basic research.” He devoted a good portion of his talk to climate change and the imminent peril it poses to the planet. “We know the projected harm will be less if we take immediate action,” Holdren said. “And the cost will be much less than if we do nothing.” He talked about having to relocate entire nations of people because of rising sea levels and added, “There are no climate deniers on those islands.” Holdren praised San Diego for being a pioneer in the Sustainable Cities Initiative and he complimented the way the

Holdren demonstrated knowledge of things from the 92-million-mile view down to knowing specific figures about California’s water crisis.

Home Care Assistance helps older adults live well at home BY MARTI GACIOCH As the number of aging Americans continues to grow, Jennifer Muskat, Regional Director of Home Care Assistance, is acutely aware of the need for high-quality care to help older adults maintain the independence the enjoyed in their younger years. "There's now a silver tsunami of aging people sweeping the United States," Muskat said. "We see it locally, too! San Diego’s population of seniors is growing and so is the need for experienced, well-trained caregivers to help these cherished members of our society and their families.” The original founders of Home Care Assistance foresaw this continuously growing need when they opened their first office eight years ago. They have since opened their Fay Avenue office five years ago to assist the ever-growing population of people in need of various levels of care. The Home Care Assistance model of concierge-level care is serving thousands of happy families and the company is growing, too, with almost 150 locations opened across the country so far. In La Jolla alone, Home Care Assistance has not only grown over 25 percent each year, but their staff and caregivers feel like they've become a real part of the community. "More and more people stop by our Fay Avenue office to share their own concerns about aging family members and how to plan for – and even cope with – meeting their needs. They ask

"These hands-on family caregivers often find that they can't provide the care their love one
needs sometimes 24 hours a day," Muskat said. "We're here to help family caregivers navigate their way through the care options available. I feel like we're not only providing professional caregivers to help out, but we're also serving as a local resource center that always has a client care manager available to counsel families, answer their
questions and discuss their loved one's needs." If you know someone that might need extra help, there are early warning signs that you should look out for: • "Watch for forgetfulness, for example, when a loved one finds it difficult to recall consistently," Muskat said. "Also, watch for a messy home that used to be clean, as well as poor hygiene and inadequate grooming for women and men, who previously had taken good care of their appearance, clothing, etc." • Other signs can include a lack of socializing or interest in activities they used to enjoy, along with signs of depression and/or dementia. "We help with basic activities of daily living and provide support to keep our clients healthy and safe at home," said Sarah Christ, senior care adviser. "Because of this, we have developed robust training programs and classes, which include weekly meal preparation training in our Fay Avenue kitchen, fall prevention workshops, and even senior yoga classes with the La Jolla Community Center.” —Home Care Assistance, 7521 Fay Ave. Office hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but the care team is available 24/7 by phone.

La Jollan Derek Dunfee is riding a wave of success Titans of Mavericks contender vows to take the title one day BY CHRIS SAUR Five days after pro football’s most prestigious game, and just 45 minutes west of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, the 24 best big wave surfers in the world — including La Jolla’s own Derek Dunfee — competed in the Super Bowl of their sport, Titans of Mavericks. With the rider looking like a tiny blip in the middle of a 40- or 50-foot swell, big wave surfing videos are the ones where the viewer isn’t sure if it is real or CGI (computer-generated imagery). For Dunfee, a 33-year-old who has chased big waves all over the world, the Titans of Mavericks event — this year contested on Feb. 12 — has been his focus for more than a decade. “Getting into the Mavericks event is such a huge deal in the surfing world. It’s probably the best big wave surf spot in the world and for me coming from California, it’s pretty easy for me to get there,” the La Jolla High graduate said of the mythical surfing spot located near Half Moon Bay. “I’ve been surfing Mavericks for 10 years now and this

I focused pretty much the entire winter on Mavericks.” Although he looks the part, with the tattoos and a laid-back
personality, Dunfee’s approach to his sport differs from the stereotypical surfer character. As one of the elite surfers in the world, Dunfee said he has to be as cerebral and hardworking as a top athlete in any other professional sport, and be prepared for even greater risk. “It’s life or death. Every single time I go out there, I could possibly
drown or hit my board and die,” he told the La Jolla Light during an interview at the Pannikin coffee house. “It’s happened out there, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. That’s why I try to do as much preparation, mentally and physically, as I can for it.” In preparing for the Titans of Mavericks event this year, Dunfee augmented his regiment of working
out, running, long-distance paddling and yoga by reading up on sports psychology, learning to control his adrenaline when the time came. And after Dunfee found out in the fall that he would be in the first heat, he designed his morning routine around surfing from 8 to 9 a.m., the approximate time he would be out there competing. Despite all of the preparation, Dunfee scored a 6.44 and did not advance from his heat. Nic Lamb was the eventual Titans of Mavericks champion, a title Dunfee believes could be his someday soon. “It’s a big goal for me, I really want

I got waves in my heat. I broke my board in my heat. I wanted to win, it just didn’t happen for me in this event.” Dunfee has good reason to consider himself a contender for that crown. He’s been surfing at Mavericks for a decade and even won the XXL award for largest global wave of the big wave season in 2009. After that, he was on the alternate list for the Titans of Mavericks event for five straight years before finally getting into the 2016 competition. Not bad for a kid who learned surfing from his dad on the beaches of La Jolla 15 years ago. “I’ve surfed my whole life, my dad taught me
What if I told you there was a new way to firm up, get healthy, feel better than you have in years AND was as easy as standing in place? You’d think this was to good to be true!
Well I’m living proof of how the La Jolla Wellness Studio changed my life. My doctors are amazed at the improvement in my overall health. After coming very close to facing the prospect of declining health I made a real commitment to take care of myself and now, less than two years later, I am the poster-child for how well the techniques and 21st century process at La Jolla Wellness Studio really work. My body is the vessel that has supported and carried me throughout my lifetime. I have worked very hard and been challenged by some diagnoses that might have left some discouraged. Even though I have lived through six decades my body belies my age ~ and it is reflected in my face, my energy, my spirit and how the world looks back at me. I am clearer, more agile and have a consistent source of energy that lasts all day. More importantly I feel great and I love my body again! The changes I made weren’t difficult or timeconsuming. As I began to feel better and better I made the commitment to stick with it, show up and change my lifestyle. With the Studio’s trainers help, I have discovered an incredible anti-aging program.
to surf when I was like 8 or 10 years old and by the time I was 12 or 13, I was surfing WindanSea almost every day,” Dunfee said. “I played a few sports when I was 8 to 10 years old … but from 12 or 13 on, me and my twin brother Taylor were on the (La Jolla) beach every day.” The sport has taken Dunfee across the globe to surf places like Indonesia, Fiji, Japan, Ireland, Spain, France, South Africa, Costa Rica and Easter Island, and the accomplished photographer has taken advantage of those trips with his board and his camera. But no matter where he goes, or how big of a wave he catches there, Dunfee always returns to his La Jolla home, his wife Brianna (also a La Jolla native) and his dog Pepe.
My friends are more amazed than my doctors and some haven’t even recognized me! Forget the fad diets, the expensive TV celebrityendorsed food programs, the time-sapping, sweat-inducing gym visits, and the feeling that time has passed you by and it is too late to turn it back. In just a short period of time you will begin to see and feel the difference. Without any inducement I am here to shout from the rafters that my journey to wellness began at the La Jolla Wellness Studio. You can love your body again and make it lovable as well. Join me and talk to the knowledgeable staff and in just a short time you too will look in the mirror and say “WOW! I love it!” Thank you La Jolla Wellness Studio, Marcie Cecil
La Jolla High School has hired two head coaches for the Vikings football and girls volleyball programs. Matt Morrison takes the helm of the football program and Kelly Drobek is the girls head volleyball coach. Morrison, a San Diego native, was a two-time All-Costal league player and all CIF selection as quarterback. His most recent coaching stint was as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Division I La Costa Canyon for the past two seasons. Before coaching at LCC, Morrison coached at the nationally ranked Punahou School in Hawaii as wide receivers coach. Morrison began his coaching career at his alma mater Francis Parker, working alongside his father, 2016 coaching legend John Morrison. "I am extremely excited about the opportunity to lead the football program at La Jolla High School. The support I’ve received from everyone in the La Jolla community, from the administration to the parents, has been overwhelming and shows the commitment that they have toward building and sustaining all phases of a successful football program."
Drobek, also a San Diego native, led Cathedral’s volleyball girls program for more than 17 years. During her time there, she led her team to 14 league championships, 15 CIF Division III Championships, four State Division III titles and five Regional Division III titles. In 2013, Drobek was named the California Coaches Association Coach of the Year. Along with this accolade, she was also named the 2008 and 2011 San Diego Female Coach of the Year. “I’m honored to join such an amazing school with such a great volleyball history and I am so excited to start this new chapter in my coaching career.” Of the hirings, Vikings Athletic Director Paula Conway said, “We are thrilled to continue a strong tradition of academics and athletics; both Kelly and Matt are exceptional coaches and we look forward to their leadership both on the field and court. This is an exciting time for La Jolla High School athletics as we as we prepare to open our newly renovated athletic complex in the fall of 2016.”

Area resident Robert O’Neill sheds new light on the speed limit increase suggested for Soledad Mountain Road. FROM SPEED LIMITS, A1 Requests for speed limit adjustments are often made after traffic engineers conduct a speed study to gauge how fast the average flow of traffic is going. If 85 percent of the vehicles are traveling at a certain speed, it becomes the recommended speed limit. Should the speed limit not be adjusted to reflect the results of the study, police cannot use radar to enforce it. However, O’Neill, a retired police and traffic enforcement officer, alleged the information from the speed study might not be entirely accurate. Further, he said people are already going well beyond the speed limit on that stretch, and increasing the limit would only increase the current threat of danger. “I’ve lived in this area since 1989. I can tell you, it’s a very dangerous situation,” he said. “In the morning, we have people going up the hill to get to (All Hallows Academy, La Jolla Montessori School and Evans School) at the top, and drivers are passing other drivers using the left turn lane. I pull out from my driveway into the street and by the time I am in the street, there are cars on my tail.” Noting that his patrol once included the area near where he now lives, O’Neill added he used to park his motorcycle in front of his now home. “People think they won’t get a speeding ticket unless they are going 12- or 13 miles-per-hour over the speed limit, so if the speed limit is increased to 40 miles-per-hour, people will do 50,” he said. Taking issue with the speed study itself, in addition to the request to up the speed limit, O’Neill reported when the city’s traffic engineers conducted the study, the flashing/illuminated signs that show how
fast cars are going were not on or functional. “I’m told that they were turned off when the city did the traffic study,” he said. “When the (illuminated speed limit) signs are not working, people aren’t being consciously notified that they are going over the limit.” Considering the illuminated signs a deterrent to speedsters, LJCPA trustee David Little said, “If those signs are turned off or not functional, you are not going to get an accurate reading during the speed study. The speed study should reflect average speeds when a traffic-calming device, which is already in place, is in use.” Added trustee Brian Will, “If the city could be compelled to repeat that study, with the illuminated sign on, the 35 miles per hour may very well reflect how fast 85 percent of drivers are going.” Arguing that the city would prefer to increase the speed limit so it can use radar, trustee Fran Zimmerman, said, “Using radar means issuing tickets, and tickets means money for the city, that’s why they want to go that route. But what you want is for people to go slower. One way that happens is with speed limit signs and illuminated signs that show how fast you are going.” However, LJCPA trustee Joe LaCava noted, “It’s never in our best interest to just bad-mouth the city. If the city turned off those signs, there was probably a legal reason to compel them to do so.” LJCPA trustee and T&T member Tom Brady said O’Neill’s comments were not made available when the traffic board made its decision, largely because O’Neill said he learned about the decision by reading La Jolla Light’s coverage of the T&T meeting. “There are 145 houses in that area, and when I surveyed some of the neighbors to see if they were aware of the proposed change, none were,” O’Neill said. Had they known, he added, residents might have attended the T&T meeting when the item was initially discussed. “We were unaware of the information Mr. O’Neill has provided today, but his comments would be have been appropriate for us at T&T,” Brady said. As such, Brady moved to have the item returned to T&T to further discuss the issues presented. The motion passed unanimously. ■ IF YOU GO: The next T&T meeting is 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 16 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org or manana@san.rr.com

A sea lion parks himself on the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club promenade.
Sea lions growing bolder I thought La Jolla Light readers might be interested in one of the sea lions that found its way from the rough ocean and high tides to the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. First off, one was found last week or so in a booth in the Marine Room restaurant. Now, daily, they are showing up on the promenade at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. This sea lion did more flapping and aggressive pounding on its way down the promenade toward the club’s dining room. It was quite large and fast moving. We are there each morning for a promenade walk and coffee. Today, we only got to the coffee part. —Elaine Evans

This high-maintenance lawn is a dubious choice for a draught-ridden city park.
Why install a lawn here? With all the renovations going on at La Jolla Cove, it seemed to be the perfect time to make a smart drought decision regarding the large area in front of the bathrooms. For many months that area has been used to store equipment and construction material while the new lifeguard tower was being constructed. In the past, the area was covered in grass and was over watered — always a muddy mess — not to mention constantly being reseeded because the divers would put their tanks, wet
suits, and other diving gear on the grass. I have been swimming at The Cove for decades, and for all those years that area never did well because of the crowds and over watering. As I arrived this morning this is what I saw. Another stupid lawn! Is this state not in a drought? Aren't folks in San Diego being asked to pull out their lawns and get creative with water-saving landscaping? Why does the city continue to repeat a bad situation when they have the opportunity to be creative in such a prestigious spot as La Jolla Cove? This is very frustrating. —Chris Holmes
New crosswalk signal is most welcome Last week the Light published my letter “Gravilla/La Jolla Blvd. needs a crosswalk.” Well, sometime after the paper went to press, the city installed the crosswalk!

Gillispie event yields 36 pints for Blood Bank
The Gillispie School hosted a blood drive and bake sale Feb. 9 to collect 36 pints of blood and more than $2,300 for the San Diego Blood Bank. The check presentation took place the morning of March 9 at the school on 7380 Girard Ave. Over the last seven years, Gillispie School has collected more than 250 pints of blood and more than $13,000 for the Blood Bank. Teachers Erica Hurley and Linda Davis worked with the students to produce a video that encouraged parents and friends to support their efforts (https://vimeo.com/ thegillispieschool/ blood-drive-2016). The school’s annual Drive began in 2010 after a former fourth-grader suffered a relapse of the cancer she battled as a kindergartener. Her fifth-grade brother saved her life with his bone marrow. Hurley said she donates blood in honor of her father, who died from kidney and bone cancer in 2014. “We can all think of a relative, friend, co-worker or neighbor who has faced cancer or other life-changing

Words fall short, and while there’s often nothing tangible one can do to alleviate their pain, donating blood in honor of a loved one will directly impact the health and well-being of
someone else who is suffering.” Founded in 1950 with the support of the San Diego County Medical Society, SDBB is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that serves hospitals in San Diego, Orange, Imperial and Los Angeles counties with blood

Group to address prostate cancer from patient point of view BY PATTY FULLER It was 1982 when Dallas socialite Nancy Brinker announced she was starting a foundation in honor of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died of breast cancer at age 36. At the time, if a woman was diagnosed with breast cancer it was never talked about in public. Fast forward to 2016. Now, there is a new movement on the horizon for men. It’s called the Informed Prostate Cancer Support Group (IPCSG), and the San Diego based non-profit is on a mission to arm patients with the tools to fight the escalating diagnosis of prostate cancer among men. IPCSG meets 10 a.m. to noon, the third Saturday of every month at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Center Auditorium, 10905 Road to the Cure, San Diego. There is no charge for the meetings that offer a wealth of information — from speakers, library materials, DVDs of past topics, newsletters etc. The only cost is for some of the books and library materials.
“Prostate Cancer is the No. 1 silent disease in men and early detection is the key,” said Lyle LaRosh, IPCSG president and a 16-year survivor. “Our goal is to teach men (and their loved ones) how to be your own case manager. The psychological journey, myriad of treatment options, and its effect on relationships puts men in a challenging position. Men are now moving from providing support for their loved ones to seeking it out.”
New technologies and therapies have evolved over the last decade, but patients are at the bottom of the learning curve, he contends. The groups’ goal is to inform men about treatment options, side effects, how to negotiate the healthcare system, and last but not least, get support. IPCSG provides a forum where men can get their questions answered by men who have lived through the experience. Some therapies include active surveillance, robotic surgery, IMRT radiation therapy, proton radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, cryoablation therapy, and a host of new medications. As for lessons learned, these recommendations come from the experienced patients: • Retain a copy of all medical records and create your own medical file. • Manage your disease: Explore treatment options, how to minimize side effects, relationship issues, depression and mood changes. • Read books (access the library at IPCSG).
• Don’t surf the Internet. You will access too much information and misinformation, which may lead to depression. • Join support groups, interact with professionals and family members. • Take a significant other to appointments with you to document treatment recommendations. • Get second opinions from different specialists. • You may have to seek out more options for insurance carriers. IPCSG members can share their experiences with insurance options for men. • Explore complementary therapies to mitigate the side effects of treatments, such as exercise, change in diet, or meditation. ■ Want to know more? Visit ipcsg.org for meeting directions and other information. The March 19 speaker will be James Rucks of GenPath Diagnostics/BioReference Laboratories on the Opco 4K test, which assesses a patient’s risk for aggressive prostate cancer prior to a prostate biopsy.

City reveals resident satisfaction survey results BY ASHLEY MACKIN In late 2015, the City of San Diego mailed out 9,000 comprehensive surveys to a random sample of citizens to determine how satisfied residents are with city services, to learn where they thought the city could improve, and see whether they believe the city has improved already. And the results are in. Lots of them. At a press conference March 2 at Villa La Jolla Park, Mayor Kevin Faulconer, City Council President Sherri Lightner, Councilmember Scott Sherman and Almis Udrys, director of the Performance & Analytics Department, announced the findings and how they will guide council policy going forward. Although the department that oversaw the survey effort was expecting less than 1,800 responses, they got 2,478. “This survey quantifies constituent feedback as opposed to looking at complaints and how they fit in the overall scheme of how the city does business. To have a broad-based survey is very helpful to putting things in perspective,” Lightner told La Jolla Light. “It shows us where resources should be allocated and how to streamline the process to deliver on these things. Because infrastructure is a critical issue, for example, let’s streamline that process and deliver on that.” The results have not been broken down by council district, but they will be, she assured. Following the press conference, Mayor

San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner speaks about survey results, with director of performance and analytics Amis Udrys, Councilmember Scott Sherman and Mayor Kevin Faulconer. Faulconer told La Jolla Light, “We’ve never done a survey as thorough and as comprehensive as this, but this is the type of tool we should be using and we’re going to use every year to measure how we’re doing and measure satisfaction with the changes that we’re making. From my perspective, it was great to see people think things are getting better. But we also know there’s a lot of work to do, particularly in the areas of street repair and infrastructure. Survey
results will help the council and myself continue to invest those dollars in infrastructure.” Of the results, Udrys said there were some things that were “very positive,” such as 43 percent of residents thinking the city “is doing better than we were a few years ago.” Specific services, like public safety and libraries, were very highly rated (upwards of 70 percent). Poorly rated services, such as infrastructure (24 percent satisfaction), did
not shock surveyors. “Infrastructure did not do well, but that was not a surprise to us … we’ve been talking a lot about it and doing a lot about it,” he said. Added Lightner, “Based upon the combined percentages of ‘very satisfied’ and ‘satisfied,’ 66 percent of residents noted the effectiveness of local police protection, and 59 percent were satisfied police visibility in the city. How quickly police respond was also highly ranked at over 50 percent. And 78 percent of respondents were ‘very satisfied’ or ‘satisfied’ with fire and rescue services, with a 72 percent satisfaction for our lifeguards.” Within that category, there was 73 percent satisfactory for beach maintenance, she noted. Library services also came in high with 77 percent of respondents indicating they are either satisfied or very satisfied with the availability of library facilities and the quality of services. Noting La Jolla’s Riford Library has had a 3D printing lab and a biotech lab open to the public for almost a year, she said she would like to take that model and open up other labs at other libraries. “As a proponent of STEM education for our youth, I propose that at least two libraries in every district have a Fab Lab for students. Fab Labs are a great way to provide hands-on learning and get students excited about science and engineering. My City Council colleagues are enthusiastic about this proposal.” ■ Full survey results: sandiego.gov
LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Bruce Lightner enters District 1 race Like his wife, San Diego City Council President, Sherri, Bruce Lightner is an engineer and longtime La Jolla Shores resident. And like Sherri, he wants to serve his community through a seat on the City Council. Last week he announced a run for the seat, in which she's being termed-out. “Although I had never considered running for public office before, I've decided to throw my hat in the ring because I feel so strongly about continuing Bruce Sherri's work as an Lightner independent, effective voice for our neighborhoods," Lightner said in a statement e-mailed to supporters. He'll run against entrepreneurs (Democrat) Barbara Bry and (Republican) Ray Ellis for the seat that represents La Jolla and University City and Carmel Valley. If any candidate gains an absolute majority in the election on June 7, that person wins the race outright. If there's no absolute majority, the top two candidates face off in November. Lightner is co-owner with his wife of Lightner Engineering, is an expert in onboard diagnostics systems for vehicles, and holds numerous patents. Additional candidates for the seat are Louis Rodolico, a political novice who
retired a few years ago after a career as a hospital architect; and Kyle Heiskala, Council President Lightner's representative to University City and a policy advisor on infrastructure and transportation issues. The race is the most closely watched among San Diego politicos because it could shift control of the city council from Democrats to Republicans. San Diego’s City Clerk Elizabeth Maland announces via Twitter whenever someone pulls the required paperwork to become a candidate for city office and posts other updates relevant to the election.

Bird Rock seeks funds for new Watch signs At the March 1 Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting, president Andy Ward said burglaries in the area continue to distress homeowners and the burglars are becoming “more bold.” With the hope of deterring home invasions, the council is accepting money for more Neighborhood Watch signs to post throughout the community. “There are about 53 Neighborhood Watch signs now — and many are looking pretty
faded — so we’d like to collect donations (at $42 per sign) along with volunteers who will put up the signs,” said BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar. “We need to replace as many signs as possible, but the ones that are the most faded will be replaced first. There are some places where there are no signs and they are really needed, so those areas will also be looked at.” She added, “People ask if replacing the signs really works and the response from the police has been ‘yes.’ If thieves see well-maintained or fairly new signs, they assume the Neighborhood Watch program is active and it does cut down on crime in the neighborhood.” Forms to donate to the Neighborhood Watch signs can be found at birdrockcc.org
Bird Rock Elementary registration in April Also at the March 1 Bird Rock Community Council meeting, resident Joe LaCava announced (as a proxy for his wife Lorene, a Bird Rock Elementary School teacher) that the school registers students during the month of April. “So if you know any families that have moved to the Bird Rock area and have school-aged kids, packets will be available April 6, and April 20 is registration day. We encourage parents to register their students as soon as possible so the school knows how to plan come September,” he said. Bird Rock Elementary is at 5371 La Jolla Hermosa Ave. sandi.net/birdrock

La Jolla High School celebrates its first CIF victory in 18 years!
Vikings win soccer title, fall to LJCD in basketball BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla High School’s boys varsity basketball and soccer teams made it to the CIF championships in their divisions early this month. In a La Jolla square-off, the Vikings competed against the La Jolla Country Day School Torreys March 4 in basketball. Vikings soccer took on – and defeated – Lincoln High School on March 5, giving them their first CIF win in 18 years.
Soccer
Although the soccer season started with its share of issues, Coach Marcos Gonzales said, in the last few weeks, the team turned things around – and just in time for a CIF victory in Division IV, 4-1. “Discipline and injuries were a factor in the team not being the best they could be earlier this season, but they had the right work ethic,” he said. “We had been lacking communication and volume this season; these last few weeks they’ve been louder and
talking about what we need to work on.” Gonzales added, “When we were getting closer to a championship, I told my boys to be greedy and get the wins. They’ve always been fun, they led by example, and we have a couple of leaders who are the backbone of the team.” Gonzales said he relied on these leaders — goalie Tai Nguyen, center-defensive players Jack Barone and Noah Shen, and center-mid player Andrew Estrella. At CIF, “Our guys on offense did their job and knew what to do. Our defense was strong and held us down so we had a chance to win,” he said. The young team is made up of four seniors, six to eight juniors, eight sophomores and one freshman. Credited with playing an organized and strategic game, the Vikings sealed the deal with a penalty kick by Barone.

FROM VIKINGS, A25 Torreys took home the win 66-61. Going into the game, Vikings coach Paul Baranowski said, “The team is completely in this for each other, while there are some designated leaders on the team, everyone has the ability to step up when someone is struggling. They are a nice group to be around.” The team leaders include: Reed Farley, credited with being a coach on the floor with a high basketball IQ; Eddie Parker, a co-captain to Farley; Alex Pitrofsky, who provided a big scoring punch all season; Morgan Albers, who provided a boost from the bench; and Nick Hammel, who had a strong defense presence all season.
In other sports news:
■ Baseball hosts alumni opener: On March 5, the baseball team kicked off the season with its annual tradition of taking on some Viking alumni. The current players defeated the alumni team (representing seven decades of Viking baseball), 13-3. Seemingly a huge victory, Viking coach Gary Frank said, "This was a very close game until the seventh inning and was one of the best played alumni games we have had. The alums were very competitive and proved to be a challenge for our varsity team." The Vikings started the season March 8 against Mira Mesa at home. ■ Girls basketball, soccer close seasons: The sister teams to those that made it to CIF, girls Vikings basketball ended its season 7-15 overall and 3-8 in the league; girls Vikings soccer ended the season 5-12-4 overall and 1-4-2 in the league. ■ Wrestling advances players: The Vikings newly revived wrestling team had “a great season and we are right on track in terms of building our young program,” said coach Kellen Delany. “We qualified two wrestlers for the CIF Master's tournament (sophomore Elliot Austin and senior Jake Harvey). We did not qualify anyone for the State tournament this year, but with the young talented wrestlers we have now, the State tournament is the goal for the coming years.”

Flowering trees, shrubs brighten spring days
I
t was very hot this February. It seems that the flowering trees are blooming a bit earlier than usual, maybe because of the rain we’ve had. We are sure to have a spectacular spring bloom. Evergreen pear trees (Pyrus kawakamii) graced our streets in early February with daydream-like blooms covering their canopies; these were especially abundant along Kline Street, at Girard Avenue. In full bloom, they are very impressive, but unfortunately they don’t last long. With just a gentle breeze, the petals flutter off the tree like soft confetti, covering the ground like snow. These trees are not really evergreen; they do lose
their leaves over winter. They are native to China and Taiwan. We also have an abundance of jade plants (Crassula ovata) throughout town. They are found in hedges and in pots and planters. Flowering furiously right now, one can barely see the rubbery dark green foliage. Jade plants come in various shapes and have flowers that are delicate white or pink. Jade is sometimes called “friendship tree.” These hearty shrubs are from South Africa and Mozambique but San Diego provides a perfect climate for this very popular plant as they require very little water.

Joe D’Angelo marks 25th year as La Jolla dentist Growing up in a modest Long Island, New York suburb, Joe D’Angelo, DDS, said he learned the lessons of hard work and determination at an early age. After high school, he was introduced to the world of dentistry during his time in the U.S. Air Force. He was determined to prove himself ready for his chosen path by being one of the first in his family to graduate from college, and did so with honors. After graduating from dental school at University North Carolina, Chapel Hill in 1986, he decided to start his new life and career in La Jolla. Without a single patient, Dr. D’Angelo opened his first new office in an old Joe D’Angelo professional building in 1990. The practice has grown steadily since. After 25 years, the offices have once again been expanded and remodeled. In La Jolla, he met his wife, Lisa. The couple has two children, Vaill and Joey. With extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry, Dr. D’Angelo said he enjoys helping people and then seeing their beautiful smiles around town. With his implant training at The Misch Institute, he knows one of the reasons some are smiling is because he’s been able to replace any missing teeth with comfortable and attractive dental implants. What brought you to La Jolla? On a summer trip touring Southern California after dental school, I was mesmerized by the beautiful coastline and community. The outdoor lifestyle and mild weather sealed the deal. What might you add, subtract or improve in the area? As La Jollans, we could make our community even more of a world-class idyllic location if we had more local control of our area improvements, schools and roads. Succession from San Diego would provide this control. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Leonardo DaVinci, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Christopher Columbus, Jonas Salk, Stephen Hawking, Neil Armstrong and Ferdinand Magellan. What are your five favorite movies of SEE QUESTIONS, B19
The documentary ‘Allende, Mi Abuelo Allende,’ is a granddaughter’s attempt to learn more about the president of Chile who lost his power and his life in 1973.
Latino Film Fest 2016 170+ gems to screen BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ow in its 23rd year, the San Diego Latino Film Festival is gearing up for a really big show. March 10-20, they’ll be screening more than 170 films, full-length features and shorts, mostly at AMC Fashion Valley 18, with a grand opening night concert and party March 10 at Music Box San Diego, on India Street. Moises Esperanza, a Columbia University film studies grad who started out as the festival’s short films programmer and is now programming manager, heads a selection committee of 18 dedicated movie-watchers. “We look for unique, visionary films that offer different perspectives, and we try to be advocates for independent cinema, too,” he said. “This year, we had over 800 submissions, twice as many as last year, and the caliber of work was really unprecedented.” Some of the most interesting offerings seem to be documentaries, which show fresh and intimate slices of life all over the Spanish-speaking world. There are 32 of them on the schedule; here are four of the best. 1) “Allende, Mi Abuelo Allende” is about Salvador Allende, the first democratic/socialist president of Chile who lost both his power and his life in 1973, on Sept. 11. His death — suicide or assassination? — was followed by 17 years of murders and torture under the Pinochet regime. The film, made by his granddaughter, Maria Tambutti Allende, is an attempt to find out more about the grandfather she never had a chance to know. (Screens: 5:15 p.m. March 11 and 15 at AMC Fashion Valley.) 2) “Alumbrones” offers close-ups of 12 Cuban artists — the old and the new generations — talking about their art and their country. The title is a Cuban word for “blackouts,” so common in the 1990s that artists could work only in daylight. Says one of the artists profiled: “In Cuba, it’s very easy to be a surrealist.

Insanely grateful
A
La Jolla Cultural Partners
few months ago, I wrote about the dead possum that died under our house the day before Thanksgiving, its mephitic miasma threatening the holiday meal. Until a local pest control company saved the day by locating and removing the noisome decedent, I had assumed it was a dead rat in the wall. The same day, by coincidence, my Christian Scientist friend Virginia, who likes to send me inspirational items, e-mailed me an article about boosting your gratitude by adding the words “well, at least it wasn’t …” when things don’t go as planned. Known in psychology terms as “downward counterfactual thinking” this is, of course, not a new concept. My now-deceased former Jewish mother-in-law’s life philosophy, phrased slightly differently, was always “Well, it could be worse.” Of course, as a Russian immigrant refugee, whose parents and nine siblings had fled across the border in the dead of night with only the clothes on their backs, she was well aware just how worse things could be. I replied to Virginia: Good timing Virginia. A creature has died in the wall of my kitchen.
Stinks to high heaven. Family all coming for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Well, at least it didn't die in the wall of the dining room! Virginia replied: OMG! At least it's not a decaying human corpse! I responded: At least it’s not the decaying human corpse of the person who was supposed to be bringing the candied yams! We went on pretty much all day getting ever sillier and more ridiculous. But I confess I’ve found myself using “at least” phrases more and more. When we had a blow out at 70 miles an hour on I-5 on Christmas Eve day on the way to LA for Christmas with the grandkids, I found myself standing by the side of the road waiting for AAA chirping: at least it’s not night time and raining! When our dog, Winston (who has intractable ear infections, a heart condition and massive allergies) had eight seizures in one day, I said to my husband, “Well, at least he doesn’t need ACL surgery!” (another common bulldog problem). No matter how bad my day goes, I’ve found I can’t go wrong with: At least I’m not a Syrian refugee! But sometimes life affords an opportunity of flat-out positive gratitude,

no “at leasts” necessary. Such was the case a few weeks ago when I walked out of Staples in Pacific Beach with an armful of packages into a sudden downpour. It didn’t look like it was going to let up anytime soon, so I decided to make a dash for my car. I hurled my purse and packages into the front passenger seat and jumped in, quickly slamming the door. As I put my car in reverse and started to back up, someone started knocking frantically on my window. When I rolled it down, a very wet security guard who had been standing outside the credit union was holding my iPhone in his hand. “It fell out of your purse when you got in the car,” he said. “You were about to run over it.” You want gratitude? I couldn’t believe my good fortune. There are few things I would rather do less than get another phone setup. I’d sooner have a root canal. Brain surgery. A dead possum under my house the day before Thanksgiving. The
current one took weeks with multiple visits to the Verizon store on Pearl Street. They have my picture with a line across in it their back room. No, really, they do. I HATE technology. But like everyone else in America, I’ve become dependent on the stupid phone. The poor guy was getting soaked, so I quickly grabbed my purse. “Please,” I said, “I’d really like to give you a reward.” But he refused, and ran back to his covered perch outside the credit union. Afterward, I thought of all the more likely possibilities. It’s pouring. He’s a credit union employee not a savior of cell phones. Watching the idiot lady run over her pricey iPhone could have been a source of all manner of fun stories with which to regale his friends. The delicious crunchy sound of bytes biting gravel. Siri’s frantic final screams. (That I would have liked to hear. I loathe the little robot.) But he ran out in the rain and rescued my phone at the last possible second. When I got home, I sent a letter to the manager of the credit union recounting the story and lauding the character of their security guard, Charles. I’m at that shopping center pretty frequently. The next time I was there, I thanked him again and he thanked me effusively for the letter to his boss. And now, I stop and chat every time I’m over there. Not too long; he’s on duty. Bad things happen. But at least Charles was working that day. —Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light. Reach her at Inga47@san.rr.com

Students examine art in cultures for UCSD exhibit Reading ‘Lure of the Local’ inspired Brynjolson and Checa-Gismero to compile show
BY WILL BOWEN Noni Brynjolson and Paloma Checa-Gismero, curators of the art exhibit that opened in the Structural & Materials Engineering Building (SME) on the UC San Diego campus Feb.18, are both Ph.D. candidates in Art History. They said they were inspired to compile the show after reading the art book, “Lure of the Local,” by Lucy R. Lippard. The exhibit consists of works by three MFA students at UC San Diego with whom they share affinities. “We wanted to explore how the place of work influenced the art that was created,” said Checa-Gismero, “and to show the artist at work in different contexts and cultures.” Added Brynjolson, “Our guiding question was, how is the social and material context of production translated into the context of the actual art work?” MFA candidate Sindu Thirumalaisany, a filmmaker from Bangalore, India, has a large-scale video in the show that is projected on an entire wall of the gallery. “Different Colourful Designs,” was shot with a non-high definition camera over the course of three years. It consists of a series of photos of the large murals that were commissioned by the government of Bangalore and
Dominic P. Miller
PHOTOS BY WILL BOWEN
painted by sign painters. Thirumalaisany explained that the government’s aim was to prevent graffiti and the posting of advertisements in public spaces in an attempt to improve cleanliness and civic pride. The murals worked for a while, but then they were defaced and posted-over, so the government has begun to restore them. The murals include a mix of images, which are thought to depict a good sense of Bangalore identity. One sees everything from modern fishermen to ancient gods and warriors fighting mythical beasts. Thirumalaisany filmed the murals from across the street or
A still from the Indian mural video standing precariously in a highway median. Pedestrians and passing cars are also seen. Her aim was to give busy people the opportunity to look more carefully at the images and consider how they function in terms of identity-making. “People do not spend much time looking at these images, which I find
quite bizarre due to their large size, because they are headed somewhere,” she said. “I wanted to provide some opening or space to give people the opportunity to consider them more closely, especially their identity factors; like for the women they represent and hold up as good and essentially Bangalorese.”

”
Paloma Checa-Gismero, curator The second exhibit artist, Saul Hernandez-Vargas, is from Oaxaca City in the south of Mexico, where he worked as a printmaker before coming to UCSD. His mixed-media project, “Let Us Now Foliage Famous Men: Benito Juarez Eco-Monument,” consists of two decapitated resin busts, a head, and other parts of what was once a full-size resin sculpture of Mexican President (1858-1872)
Benito Juarez, which was first constructed in 2008. The sculpture pieces are adorned with plants and scattered all around a large part of the gallery space as a comment on the Mexican drug wars and the decapitations of hundreds of Mexican citizens. Its brokenness stands for the broken dreams of Mexico, Hernandez-Vargas said. “Our recent presidents care only about

special interests and have lost the idea of creating a better Mexico.” He added that unlike artists in the United States, “in Oaxaca, artists are more involved in community life and have greater political influence.” Artist Dominic P. Miller has a three-part exhibit in the show: a paper sculpture, a framed text of a page of field notes, and an explanatory video, collectively called, “Diagrama de Dependecida II.” Miller’s work is the result of a Fulbright Scholarship to work with labor groups and artists in Tijuana. Miller said he wanted to examine the conditions of production in the city. In addition to his interactions with local
workers, Miller rounded up a group of 10 artists who make piñatas, and paid them to work on a paper sculpture where the drawing lines, generated by a computerized data spreadsheet, were punctured into the paper with a needle. The sculpture in the exhibit is valued at $8,000, and required two weeks of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. labor by the group. ■ IF YOU GO: The show is open from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday through March 10 in the Structural & Materials Engineering Building on the UCSD campus. visualarts.ucsd.edu

Susan and Hugo Barrera with Suzanne Sette
o celebrate Piatti’s 25th anniversary in La Jolla Shores and Las Patronas’ 70th year of community service, a massive party was held at the restaurant on Avenida de la Playa, the evening of Feb. 25. The event generated $22,000 to be shared by Las Patronas and the La Jolla Shores Business Association. Of the restaurant’s success over the last quarter-century, Piatti manager Tom Spano said: “It is difficult to narrow it down to one thing, but if pressed, I would have to say it's the consistency factor provided by everyone involved. The food is consistently prepared, the staff consistently cares and is happy to be here, and our guests are also consistent. We've developed many dining relationships into family relationships.” —Photos by Ashley Mackin

Elias and two of the artists, Alejandro Zacarías and Julio Orozco. La Caja Gallery was another delight, especially with Ruiz Otis on hand to share stories about the pieces he creates from industrial trash. There were a few glitches along the way, starting with a lengthy, unwelcoming wait before we were allowed in to see the CECUT exhibit. And Ingrid Hernandez, who was also part of the Elias-Fontes Collection, showed only three photographs in her small studio, not quite enough to warrant a special visit. But in all, it was a good day in TJ, and there’s already a waiting list for a repeat trip, planned for sometime in April. ■ For more information, contact April Farrell at aefarrell@mcasd.org/

Featured are four now-famous chefs from Tijuana to Valle de Guadalupe, including Javier Plascencia, who has multiple prospering restaurants on both sides of the border.

It tells of a poor community living on a landfill who change their lives by turning some of their trash into musical instruments, and learning to play well enough to tour around the world. Says their orchestra’s director: “The world sends us garbage. We send back music.” (Screens 4:30 p.m. March 10; 1:15 p.m. March 12 at AMC Fashion Valley.) These are only the tip of the fest-berg.

he Women’s Auxiliary of Seacrest Village Retirement Communities held its 38th annual gala, “Silver Screen,” Feb. 27 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla with Esther Fischer and Linda Platt serving as co-chairs. Some 350 guests attended the gala to raised more than $450,000 for the provision of charitable care for those residents who, many due to illness or injury, have exhausted their financial resources and have nowhere else to turn for housing and healthcare. Guests received a red carpet greeting, complete with the flashing cameras of Hollywood paparazzi, movie premiere searchlights, and flowing Champagne as they entered the gala to enjoy cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and Hollywood tunes provided by Wayne Foster Entertainment.

Avoid El Niño Car Breakdowns with a Spring Cleaning Car Checkup Spring is the time to thank your hardworking vehicle for a great performance over the winter by doing a maintenance overhaul. There are several things you can do yourself and with the help of a mechanic to ensure that your vehicle is prepared for top performance this spring and summer. Use the following
tips to manage your vehicle effectively and avoid accidents and expensive maintenance concerns down the road. Fluid Levels Keep an eye on your brake fluid, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, engine oil and transmission fluid. It’s a good idea to consider a brake fluid flush as well to make sure your brakes are working in top condition. Wires, Plugs and Batteries Anything older than three years old should be replaced as should any weak wires, plugs or batteries. Hoses and Belts If your belts are soft, brittle, cracked or worn, consider replacing them. Anything older than five years old should also be replaced.
Tire Pressure Make sure that all of your vehicle’s tires, including the spare, are properly balanced and inflated. Making this a habit will decrease the chances that you’ll find yourself on the side of the road with a flat tire. Brakes A brake pad change and an inspection for the brake system can work miracles for your San Diego vehicle. This is especially true if heavy rains are anticipated, because you’ll rely on the braking system performing at 100%. Engine Filter It’s a good time to replace your engine filter as you head into the spring, as it’s likely that there has been a lot of build up over the winter months.
Wheel Alignment and Suspension Any time you hit major potholes, you can do significant damage to your struts and shocks. Make sure you ask your mechanic to conduct an inspection to avoid bigger and more expensive problems down the road. After a season of tough conditions, it’s a good idea to have your wheels aligned properly. Following these tips can minimize your maintenance costs overall as well as decrease the chances of you being involved in an accident as a result of poor vehicle maintenance. For additional tips, advice or legal help, contact us at 858-551-2090 or visit our website at https://seriousaccidents.com/.

St. Paddy’s Day tribute to spuds
T
he noble potato — the most popular vegetable in this country — is enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even dessert. In the 1800s, the tuber was so beloved by the Irish it became their diet staple. Unfortunately, they used only one variety for mass planting and when that species was struck by a potato blight in the 1840s, the whole country’s crops perished. More than a million people starved to death throughout Ireland in The Great Famine. This led to a mass emigration from the Emerald Isle to America, Britain and Australia. With St. Paddy’s Day around the corner, let’s pay homage to the 3.5 million Irish in this country — even though they were seeded by an original disaster that conferred the luck of them upon us.
Potato Perks
The precious root was once revered by Incas for healing wounds, easing childbirth, and even marking units of time by how long it took to cook a potato. The skin contains a concentration of nutrients, while the flesh also has a rich store of essential minerals and vitamins. This fat and gluten-free, high-fiber starch has more immuneboosting vitamin C than a tomato, more fluid-balancing potassium than a banana, a load of B6 to ratchet up energy, along with magnesium, folate, iron and resistant starch to amp up colon health. The spud also has a slew of phytonutrients depending on the potato skin’s pigment. Keep the potato powerhouse healthful, by going light on the fattening toppings, such as butter, sour cream, crumbled bacon and wholemilk cheeses (and not to mention, deep-frying).
Lots of Appeal
While there are thousands of potato varieties sprouting around the world, here’s a short line-up of my faves: • White flesh and dark brown skin with a netted pattern, large Russets are the potato of choice for baking. The skin crisps while the center is fluffy with a rich graininess. Russets also hold up well for mashed potatoes. • Reds have rosy almost wax-like skins with creamy flesh. They add a pop of color to mashed and roasted potatoes and salads, and nicely absorb flavors for soups and stews. • Yukon Golds are sturdy spuds that keep their shape whether boiled, baked, grilled, roasted or pan-fried. The smooth, tan-colored skin surrounds a buttery flesh with a sweet, delicate flavor. • Petite potatoes, diminutive versions of full-sized varieties, pack an intense flavor punch, and come in Technicolors — from red and yellow to brown and purple. They are ideal for roasting whole, leaving the skin intact. • Dark-skinned purple potatoes have flesh of various nuances from violet to lavender. These jeweled beauties add eye-candy; rich, nutty flavors; and loads of antioxidants to green salads, roasted roots, pastas and egg dishes. • There are several varieties of elongated fingerlings with waxy red, purple, white and yellow skins, and varying firm, flesh colors.

Elegant and mild-flavored, fingerlings jazz up any meal whether roasted with fresh herbs or tossed in Nicoise salads.
Pick a Winner
Select firm, smooth-skinned spuds without blemishes, cuts, sprouting “eyes” (a sign it’s trying to grow), or discolorations — especially green patches. These are a concentration of Solanine caused by the potato’s over exposure to light. Discard or cut away these spots as they are bitter and dangerous to consume.
Tuber Trivia
• The potato plant is pollinated by bees. • The potato was the first vegetable grown in space by a joint NASA/ University of Wisconsin venture. • French fries were inaugurated in America in the White House during a dinner hosted by Thomas Jefferson.
Feast for the “Eyes”
For St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, try a mouth-watering potato dish, bursting with fresh green shades and flavors of spring. Try a mix of Fingerlings with rosemary and thyme, potato pancakes with scallions, pesto pasta with grilled reds, mashed potatoes with roasted celery root, or the above recipe for a refreshing riff on classic potato salad so scrumptious you’ll think you kissed the Blarney Stone.

all time? “Good Will Hunting,” “Forrest Gump,” “Schindler's List,” “Jiro Dreams of Sushi,” and “There’s Something About Mary.”
What is your philosophy of life? I believe that finding passion in your career means never having to work a day in your life. Looking at life’s challenges as opportunities to learn and grow as a person will make the journey fulfilling.
What is it that you most dislike? I dislike misleading half-truths (intentional deception). What is your most-prized possession? I am proud of my home of 23 years, here in La Jolla, where so much of my life has roots. What do you do for fun? I enjoy cycling and spending time with
What clothing item in your closet will you never part with? I have a cycling jersey that I got after completing the “Death Ride,” which was a grueling 120-mile ride with 15,500 feet of vertical climbing in one day. What would be your dream vacation? Cycling around Europe with my wife, who incidentally does not ride.

“Can you name the 8-letter word for a shield from rain and sun?” asks the Crossword Puzzle on Page 13 of ‘My Colorful San Diego Coloring and Activity Book.’
Gift shop owner publishes ‘local’ coloring book Molly Rossettie of Hi Sweetheart gift shop at 7920 Ivanhoe Ave., just released a hometown coloring/activity book with help from illustrator Matthew Perdoni and graphic designer Jessica Wyman. She said the idea for the coloring book came from a customer, looking for gifts for her grandchildren. “She mentioned that she hadn’t seen any local coloring books, so I pulled my ideas together, selected the landmarks and popular San Diego spots for the illustrations, and then wrote the story of the Adventurous Wright Family,” Rossettie said of the process. “My family and their visits from Orange County and New York really inspired the storyline. I gave Matt a really rough idea of the illustrations I envisioned (something like Calvin and Hobbes meets Wes Anderson, ha ha!)” and the project took off. Wyman was in charge of the design and layout. “My Colorful San Diego Coloring and Activity Book,” sells for $14.95 and includes 12 delightful pictures to color that depict the Wright Family enjoying La Jolla’s Ecological Reserve, Balboa Park Botanical Building, San Diego Zoo, Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla Cove, the Torrey Pines Nature Reserve (and Gliderport) and even the La Jolla Open Aire Market. There are five educational and “fun” activity pages, too. It’s recommended for ages 4-100. For more details, visit the store, hi-sweets.com or call (858) 729-1985.
