BY ASHLEY MACKIN The onset of Daylight Saving Time (March 12) brings the busy season to officers in the Department of Animal Services — especially when it comes to dogs being off-leash at area parks. Since it is lighter later, compliance officers report an increase of residents who allow their dogs to run free. Laurie Joniaux, North County Region Deputy Director for the San Diego Department of Animal Services, attended the March 7 Bird Rock Community Council meeting to discuss the situation.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The bridge at Coast Walk Trail was closed Feb. 28 due to erosion, and will remain closed for the foreseeable future, said City Public Information Officer Anthony Santacroce in an e-mail to La Jolla Light. Signs have been posted on both sides of the bridge prohibiting access, and additionally, caution tape and A-frame barricades are on site to indicate particular problem areas. The Coast Walk Trail lies between Goldfish Point and Coast Walk, a short street west of Torrey Pines Road between Prospect Place and Amalfi Street. A portion of the trail near the Coast Walk entrance has also been closed due to erosion. “There is a visible crack on the trail that

indicates instability,” said Santacroce. “Geologists have visited the site and there is a meeting next week to determine what is to be done. The Coast Trail is a shared asset of City’s Parks & Rec and Transportation & Storm Water departments, with maintenance falling on the latter. There are no plans to reopen the (bridge and affected portion of the) Trail at this time.” There is no sign at the Goldfish Point entrance indicating the bridge is closed. Along the Trail, there is another area where a gap has opened and the resulting hole, leading to the cliff, is covered by plywood and barricades. La Jolla Light will report any new details, as they become available.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN From 2001 to 2015, two pedestrians were killed and seven were seriously injured at the La Jolla Village Drive and I-5 South ramp intersection, according to a report by Circulate San Diego. In the same period, 17 pedestrians were injured in 16 crashes at Mission Boulevard and Garnet Avenue. These two intersections were among the 15 identified for safety improvements in a City of San Diego staff report, which was unanimously accepted by the City Council on March 6, when Council members expressed hopes that upgrades would be underway or completed by the beginning of summer. “In progress” at the La Jolla Village Drive and I-5 southbound off ramp, are a high visibility crosswalk, pedestrian countdown timers, audible pedestrian signals and improved street lights. At Mission Boulevard and Garnet Avenue, a high visibility crosswalk, pedestrian countdown timers and added signs have been completed, while audible pedestrian signals and improved street lights are “in progress.” Kathleen Ferrier, director of advocacy at Circulate San Diego said these improvements are basic, but effective in preventing pedestrian/vehicle crashes.

Construction progresses at the end of Avenida de la Playa, where in winter 2016 a box culvert exploded creating a sinkhole.

Two visitors read the road signs at the Avenida de la Playa construction site, March 10.

Avenida de la Playa construction signs confuse tourists

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) board member Izzy Tihanyi protested the confusing signage installed around the Avenida de la Playa construction site, during the March 8 meeting. “A student told me today that she was walking in front of The Shores Hotel, turned around the corner (on Avenida de la Playa) and there was all this yellow tape. She followed the sidewalk all the way to the next corner and then she realized there was no way out, and she had to go back all the way around the block,” Tihanyi said, adding that the sidewalks on both sides of the street have been blocked. “The signage is just awful from every

dimension,” she continued, noting that one of the “Road Closed” signs was actually hanging upside down. City of San Diego Public Information Officer Alec Philipp told La Jolla Light that crews working at the Avenida de la Playa construction site regularly walk the pedestrian routes “to ensure that signs are properly posted and readable.” City of San Diego senior engineer Steve Lindsay, who’s in charge of the Avenida de la Playa construction, wasn’t in attendance to provide his scheduled update on construction, so LJSA chair Nick LeBeouf read a communication from him wherein Lindsay stated confidence in the execution of the

work within the Memorial Day deadline. “The update that I have is that they are on schedule, they’ve laid cement over the pipe today, and they should finish up before the moratorium (which starts Memorial Day weekend),” LeBeouf said. Board members had expressed their fear of delays in the construction along Avenida de la Playa since November, for the fourth consecutive winter since the City began the stormwater and utility replacement project in 2013. The La Jolla Shores Business Association, represented by president Angie Preisendorfer, communicated the low economic results of area merchants during

this construction (and rain) season. “We are struggling down there because of all the construction on the streets,” she said, “Please, go to The Shores, buy a T-shirt, rent a board, get a kayak … do something down there!”

La Jolla Shores Association board member Mary Coakley Munk holds a poster detailing all the species that inhabit the La Jolla Shores Underwater Park, associated with The Map project. FROM LA JOLLA SHORES, A3 Shores Drive. The project’s presentation at the La Jolla Community Planning Association brought residents’ complaints about the addition blocking ocean views from the street, and trustee Dede Donovan repeated those complaints to LJSA board. “The architects are looking at the design and studying the design, it’s still on the drawing board,” Delori said, adding that the presentation “didn’t do justice” to the project and that UCSD is pressing to get the exact height of the project to show a detailed plan of how the views will be affected. ■ Election delayed: Although LJSA was supposed to hold board elections in March,

LJSA board members vote unanimously to support changing the boardwalk’s honorary name to ‘Walter Munk Way.’ Currently the street is knows as ‘La Vereda.’ human error caused a delay in the process and the vote will take place in May. There are six open seats with one- and two-year terms. Those interested may contact ljsa.org@gmail.com ■ Walter Munk Way: LJSA board voted unanimously to recommend the City of San Diego honor beloved local oceanographer Walter Munk by designating the public street running along the La Jolla Shores boardwalk “Walter Munk Way.” Trustee Terry Kreszewski highlighted the depth of community support behind the plan to recognize the scientist who discovered the underwater canyons that shape the marine ecosystems of La Jolla. District 1 City Council member Bry’s

representative, resentative Daniel Orloff Orloff, told La Jolla Light, “Once there is ‘widely demonstrated community support,’ Council member Bry can take the steps to bring the honorary street name change to the Council.” To do this she will use a new City policy that went into effect two weeks ago and provides designation and signage for the new street name, but it’s not a complete street name change, which would include approvals from many City Departments. “Our office will now be in charge of the next steps toward implementing the honorary street name,” Orloff added. Munk is turning 100 this year. ■ Police report: Northern Division Officer Larry Hesselgesser reported to LJSA

COURTESY OF LA JOLLA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

In 1919, when the 7824 Girard Ave. building was constructed, it housed a grocery store and post office, and was the first commercial-use structure on the street.

In 1952, Burns Drugs opened for business in the building and served La Jollans for 62 years, before closing in 2014.

Construction on former Burns Drugs building underway

Owner hopes to find new tenants within months BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The commercial building at 7824 Girard Ave., where the beloved Burns Drugs store operated for 62 years before going out of business, is undergoing a remodel. The architect in charge of the project, Paul Benton, said the owner, who wishes to

remain anonymous, is renovating the property to house one or two retail tenants on the ground floor and two residential units in its second story. Possible tenants have not been identified. Since Burns Drugs went out of business in May 2014, The Village storefront has been vacant. To maximize its utility for today’s market, Benton is building a street level flexible space that could house one or two retailers. “We can put two entrances and two

tenants, and if one tenant wants the whole thing, they’re welcome to that as well,” he told La Jolla Light. The downstairs features 4,591 square feet of commercial space, and the residential units will be a one-bedroom 1,222-square-foot apartment and a two-bedroom 1,531-square-foot single-family residential unit. A garage in the rear of the building will be constructed to add two parking spaces, in compliance with the residential parking

requirements of the City of San Diego. For residential use, two windows will be added on the second story, facing the street front. Historical photos show that the building originally had such windows, but those were removed when Burns Drugs reshaped the building. The second story’s ceilings are quite high, and according to Benton, “The kids from La Jolla would gather and play basketball there. It’s really a nice space.”

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 16, 2017 - PAGE A7

Building history

The two-story commercial building was originally built in 1919, according to the book “La Jolla: Then & Now” by Carol Olten and Rudy Vaca. “At the street level, it housed the Barnes & Calloway grocery and the La Jolla Post Office. The upstairs was a meeting room for the La Jolla Brotherhood men’s organization,” it reads. Olten said the old Burns Drugs set the pace for Girard’s commercial turn, adding that the use of the street, originally known as Grand Avenue, was at first residential. “Along Girard, change has always been constant,” Olten wrote in the article “Girard Avenue: The Grand Evolution,” published in the La Jolla Historical Society newsletter, “Timekeeper,” in the Fall 2014 edition. The story tells how the street started as a “dirt road with a few beach cottages” and became “a commercial core for ever-changing storefronts.” The owners of 7824 Girard Ave. are once again leading the changes along the street by bringing a commercial/residential mixed-use building to a block where most other buildings are exclusively commercial. Benton hopes the next retail tenant(s) can be up and running within a few months. “In the coming months, you’re going to see a lot of changes on the outside. We’re probably going to spend more time on the back, and the remodeling of the residential units,” he said, adding that if a possible occupant of the commercial space required further changes, the building owners would gladly incorporate them while construction is underway.

ASHLEY MACKIN

Bird Rock residents turn out for the Community Council meeting, March 7, to hear Congress member Scott Peter’s representative Brian Elliott (at front) talk about recent FAA flight path changes.

Bry talks short-term rentals, mansionization at Bird Rock meeting

BY ASHLEY MACKIN City Council member Barbara Bry spoke to the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) for the first time as an elected official during its March 7 meeting at La Jolla Masonic Lodge. With two months under her City Council belt, she addressed the progress made on issues concerning Bird Rock and greater La Jolla residents, such as short-term vacation rentals, “mansionization” and DecoBike. Hopeful to have a resolution in place promptly that addresses the proliferation of short-term vacation rentals, Bry said the City is working on three different policies. “My position has not changed since the campaign in that I’m fine if you want to rent a room in your house if you are on site, and fine if you rent your house while you are on vacation, what I’m against is houses that are permanent mini-hotels (houses purchased just so they can be rented out) in residential neighborhoods,” Bry said. “But we have a strong-Mayor form of government at City Hall, and right now the City’s Planning Department is drafting three ordinances to deal with this. I’ve asked to be involved in the process and have a meeting in the next few weeks … I’m optimistic we will make progress on this.” Although Bry said she hasn’t seen any of the proposals, “I think one of them would require that renters apply for a Conditional Use Permit, which means they’d have to provide or show proof of adequate parking to be able to operate a whole house rental, which we think will be a deterrent for some.

There may be a requirement that (renters) get a business license for $75, so we know who they are. In other areas, interns were brought in to help get the database of renters with a business license up and running, and their salaries are quickly paid by the fees.” In terms of mansionization — homes built to the largest legal size based on the lot and in a boxy style not consistent with the neighborhood — Bry said she has reviewed locally created guidelines, and would like to see them implemented. “Sharon Wampler and Diane Kane (who, as part of the La Jolla Mansionization Committee, spent more than a year developing a policy the City could implement) wrote a report and I am very pleased with the recommendations they’ve made,” she said. “Right now, we’re looking at what the process is for moving some of these recommendations forward.” When it comes to the City’s planned bike-share program, DecoBike, which has drawn the ire of many La Jollans, Bry said, “I’ve been assured DecoBike is not even close to coming to La Jolla. And before anything comes to La Jolla, they would meet with the community to field your concerns.” The City has recommended as many as 17 bike-share kiosks from Bird Rock to La Jolla Shores, despite the fact that every community advisory group in 92037 has opposed their presence due to unsightliness, competition with local bike rental companies and lack of safety features such as helmets and locks.

In other Bird Rock news: ■ Peters’ office requests “patience” with flight noise: In light of changes to airplane flight paths that went into effect March 2, Congress member Scott Peters’ representative Brian Elliott was on hand to answer questions. After Bird Rock and La Jolla Shores residents reported an increase in airplane noise starting in November 2016, Peters’

www.lajollalight.com office began an “open dialogue” with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine the cause and a possible solution. “The FAA presented a lot of data, but not a lot was conclusive on what the problem was. The FAA said there haven’t been any flight plan changes, but the data supports an increase in planes turning (sooner) and then continuing on that path, which is closer to the coast going north,” he said. By way of a solution, he said on March 2, the FAA implemented new waypoint signals that provide better direction on where pilots should turn to head north. “The signal that tells pilots when to turn is now further out to sea and further away from the coast. Flights departing and going north have to go past that point … but air traffic controllers and pilots are still trying to get a sense of what is going on, so there is a grace period. We’re still looking at the data and seeing if these flights can reach further out (before turning) and what impact that will have. We’re joining with the San Diego Airport Authority and the FAA in asking for your patience.” However, Elliott noted this would not affect noise generated by incoming flights that could come in past the 11:30 p.m. curfew. “The airport, being a public airport, can accept flights at any time of day. However, airports like San Diego will fine airlines for late flights, and that’s a choice the airlines make.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 16, 2017 - PAGE A9

Last month, there were multiple $30,000 fines from San Diego.” Elliott said he would return to a future meeting with any new information. ■ MAD rates decrease: Barbara Dunbar, BRCC treasurer and manager of Bird Rock’s Maintenance Assessment District (MAD), said the property assessment amount for 2018 probably will decrease from previous years. “The proposed budget is being reviewed by the Park & Rec Department as part of the City’s budget process. But last year, everyone was told they would be assessed $90 a year, and it will likely be closer to $84 or $85. This is because we had less spending for the year and we accumulated a little more in the reserve fund, plus we are doing things a little better,” she said. “We only want to charge the bare minimum of what we need to charge.”

I’ve been assured “DecoBike is not even close to coming to La Jolla. And before anything comes to La Jolla, they would meet with the community to field your concerns.

”

— Barbara Bry District 1 San Diego City Council member

■ Landscape committee? After discussion about Bird Rock’s problems with some dying landscaping, an idea to form a BRCC Landscape Committee was raised to weigh in and determine what plants would be more appropriate, manageable and affordable. Current BRCC members (those who’ve paid their $35 annual dues) are eligible and can e-mail info@birdrockcc.org for more details. — Bird Rock Community Council meets 6 p.m. first Tuesdays at various venues.

La Jolla art crawl proposed for Breeders’ Cup event BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Various La Jolla organizations are partnering with Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (DMTC) to spread the economic impact the Breeders’ Cup will have on the region when it comes to the Del Mar racetrack, Nov. 3-4. DMTC vice president Craig Dado gave a presentation on the topic at the March 9 La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) meeting. Dado described the Breeders’ Cup event as “the Olympics of horse-racing,” because

“there are a lot of different events: for male horses, female horses, long races, short races, on dirt, on grass … and it’s also an international event. Horses are flying in from all over the world.” He reported that an art crawl starting 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4 in La Jolla is in the works. Town Council president Ann Kerr Bache added, “You check in every gallery and there’s a little gift or something, plus the

restaurants would team with the galleries for appetizers and wine.” Other projects include a gala dinner at a big hotel in La Jolla to honor Dick Enberg, who broadcast the first seven editions of the Breeders’ Cup, and the installation of a life-size horse sculpture somewhere in La Jolla. The project, called “The Art of the Horse,” will replicate the Breeders’ Cup trophy on 20, six-foot-tall sculptures that will be set down throughout San Diego.

Some of the meeting attendees came to hear Patrick Ahern’s third community presentation on the need for an Environmental Impact Report for the La Jolla View Reservoir Project.

“We’re going to have them painted by local artists as well,” Dado explained. “You’re going to start seeing them in July and they’ll be up through November, and then we’re going to auction them off at various events.” Kerr Bache interjected, “So we’re looking for a place to put the horse ... we’re thinking in front of one of the art galleries.” A food event at Birch Aquarium and a golf tournament at Torrey Pines Golf Course complete the list of projects shared by racetrack officials. Dado said that the last economic impact reported from the Breeders’ Cup called for a $65 million economic investment in the region where it was held. “We think we’re

“defensible space,” where combustible vegetation is cleared in a 100-foot radius from any structure, but not cross property lines to comply. “You may plant fire-resistant, irrigated landscaping in the first 50 feet of the 100 feet from your structure,” reads the website sandiegocounty.gov/pds/fire_resistant.html, where more details can be found. Fire-resistant plants are those that grow close to the ground; have a low sap or resin content; grow without accumulating dead branches, needles or leaves; are easily maintained and pruned; and are drought-tolerant. Yamame also suggested homeowners

■ Fire-safe homes: San Diego Fire Department battalion chief Grace Yamame reminded all to make sure their landscaping is fireproof. “We got a ton of rain, and we might get a little bit more. You probably saw a lot of grass is growing, those are really light fuels, they will burn easily once we get some more hot weather,” she said. She said homeowners should maintain

■ Election postponed: LJTC unanimously passed a motion to move its board election to June. The vote traditionally happens in the spring, but Kerr Bache reasoned that “all the community groups do elections at this time, and that means it’s more difficult to get people to run.” The change will also affect the group’s fiscal year.

Mountain out of a molehill?

FROM OFF-LEASH DOGS, A1 “We’ve had issues in the parks and we know there are community concerns. Some are proponents of letting dogs run free in parks and others are upset by it,” she said. “People who allow their animals to run free, know full-well they are not supposed to do this. Some have been given warnings and yet they continue to do it, and we’ve received complaints about repeat offenders, primarily in La Jolla Hermosa Park, Bird Rock Park and specifically, Calumet Park.” The weekend prior to the Bird Rock meeting, she said, 11 citations for off-leash dogs were issued in Bird Rock parks. Expanding that window to the months prior and including Kate Sessions Park (another area where violations occur), officers issued 35-40 citations. The cost of a ticket starts at $50, but various assessments could bring the total to as high as $400. “We’re getting more and more contentious people who are more angry, arrogant and bold ... maybe they’re mad because they got caught or they have to pay the fine, but they are getting more aggressive,” she said. “It’s just like driving faster than 65 miles per hour on the freeway, people know they’re not supposed to do it, but they take a chance and hope that no one is there to catch them. They know we can’t be everywhere at once. There are literally thousands of parks in San Diego County and we have 31 officers for the entire county.” Joniaux said officers operate from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., with one on standby through the night for emergencies; that’s a rate of one officer for every 85,000 people. Encouraging those who witness a violation

Dogs, some off-leash and some on-leash, at Calumet Park to report it, she said options to reach Animal Services include: contacting the department at sddac.com/patrol.asp to file a report and/or take a photo of the perpetrator’s license plate. “If we have the license plate number, we can (obtain their address and) send that individual a letter after the fact,” she said. In extreme cases, should a witness be so inclined, he or she can perform a citizen’s arrest. “A police officer or animal control officer cannot issue a citation unless they see the violation, so the law allows you to cite an individual by writing out a ticket using our forms. Then, we would deliver it. If the violator pleads guilty, you have no further

Laurie Joniaux, North County Region Deputy Director for the San Diego Department of Animal Services, speaks about the expected increase in off-leash dog activity. involvement. But if they plead not guilty, you have to come and testify to what you saw,” Joniaux explained. “Most people are not willing to do that.” One meeting attendee shared a story of being bitten by a dog whose owner left a gate open. Joniaux responded by reminding those gathered that all dog bites must be reported. “The animal must, legally, be placed in quarantine for 10 days and we check to see if there is a history of dangerous incidences with the animal. It’s something we need to know about,” she said. “We have a team of people working with area medical groups to help with treatment, and we may be able to assist with a bite victim’s medical bills.”

However, there are some dog owners who don’t see the practice of letting their dogs run off-leash as a problem. The La Jolla Light spoke to a few the next day in Calumet Park. “I don’t see it as a big deal,” said resident Kyle Candee. “I do it because I don’t like having my dog on a leash anywhere. If I was a dog, I wouldn’t want to be on a leash. My dog loves to run and he doesn’t get to run on a leash.” Candee said Calumet has become “an unofficial dog park” for those who live nearby. “We are pretty respectful ... if anyone were to have an issue, we would be respectful.” Kathleen (last name withheld by request) added, “I don’t understand why everyone thinks dogs should be on a leash. They aren’t bothering anyone and everyone cleans up their dog’s droppings. This is a neighborhood hang. Those who come here are neighbors and friends. Since I’ve lived here, I’ve made more friends in this park than anywhere else. I grew up in Australia and we never put our dogs on a leash, so I’m just not used to it.” Oliver Noble said he takes his dogs, Benji and Sofia, to Calumet in particular, despite the “multiple” tickets he has received, because of its convenience. “There are no dog parks between Del Mar and Ocean Beach, and we are right in the middle,” he said. “So it’s a 20 to 30 minute drive to a dog park, and by the time I get home from work, get everyone in the car and get to one of those spots, it’s dark, so I bring them here. There is a caged dog park on Soledad, but that caged environment can make dogs very tense,” he said. “We get tickets here, but to be honest, it’s worth it to me. You just kind of put up with it.”

FROM INTERSECTIONS, A1 High visibility crosswalks, Ferrier explained, are the “zebra” markings on roadways, that provide more visibility than the traditional two parallel lines. Audible signals are implemented when the traffic lights have some sort of audible indication for pedestrians, and countdown signals feature “a hand or a numerals counting down to one,” she said. The proposed improvements will cost the City approximately $10,000 each, she said, adding, “That’s not a lot of money.”

Fatal Fifteen

In October 2015, the City Council adopted “Vision Zero,” a report by Circulate San Diego, with the goal of reaching zero (no) traffic deaths in town by 2025. One year after that, the City Auditor issued a report revealing that the City hadn’t been using its resources to maximize pedestrian safety, and that by checking available data, the City could improve dangerous intersections by upgrading the infrastructure where pedestrian crashes were more likely to occur. “The City has invested resources for pedestrian safety infrastructure at many locations where pedestrians were at lower risk,” it states. The report identified 43 intersections where no upgrades had occurred and where crashes involving pedestrians had occurred since 2001. Of those 43, Circulate San Diego chose 15 unimproved intersections where more than five pedestrian crashes had occurred, and released the campaign “Fatal Fifteen” on Feb. 1, a call for the City to use its resources to get closer to the “Vision Zero” goal, and starting

A high visibility crosswalk, countdown timers, audible pedestrian signals and street lights are underway to improve pedestrian safety at the La Jolla Village Drive and I-5 South off-ramp intersection. with the 15 “fatal” intersections. At that point, Ferrier said, the City hadn’t put any infrastructure improvements on the ground. “They had put together a plan for some of the most dangerous corridors, but none of it was implemented,” she explained. Based on the “Fatal Fifteen,” City staff created the memo to City Council, approved March 6, detailing the improvements to come at 15 dangerous intersections. However, Ferrier said, the 15 intersections weren’t the same as the initially identified in the Circulate San Diego campaign. “The initial list had more intersections in

southeastern San Diego,” she said, adding that the La Jolla Village Drive and I-5 South intersection was added by City staff. “These crashes tend to happen more in low-income neighborhoods and urban areas,” she said, “And as the City continues to grow, we will see more and more crashes each year. We want to stop that, so we’re asking the City to implement a data-driven approach to help save lives.” Pedestrian deaths in San Diego have risen steadily in the last five years. Since 2015, there have been 55. Read more at circulatesd.org

Cristina Q the Salon for polished pampering

BY DAVID L. CODDON For 30 years, Cristina Q. Navarrette has been doing nails in La Jolla. She’s so beloved by her longtime clients that she’s simply known as Cristina Q. That’s also the name of her salon on Fay Avenue, where she’s the only manicurist among a staff of 12, most of them hairstylists. It was family obligation that originally led Navarrette to become a manicurist. “I went to school for fashion design merchandising,” she explained, “and I ended up doing nails, because having small children at home I wanted to make sure I could make my own hours. Being a nails technician I found was the best route to go. “A friend of mine in LA had a nail salon and that gave me the idea to start my own.” It wasn’t simply convenience that set Navarrette on her path, however. “I love working with my hands,” she said. She loves working with yours, too, if you’re in need of a manicure. “I allow an hour for every single client,” she said. “Whether I take the whole hour or not depends on their nails. I don’t cut corners.” As for her fee: “I charge $35 for a simple manicure — but it’s not really a simple

fine because her loyal customers enjoy coming back the next week for service and the kind of friendship that evolves from two people seeing each other so often. “They’re very special,” Navarette said of her regular clients. “I sit across from them

every single week. I’m there mostly to listen to them, and of course as time progresses they listen to what I have to say. But my main role is to listen to them, to cater to them. “I have been through childbirth, grammar school to high school, and bar mitzvahs to weddings; I’ve been through all of that with my clients,” Navarrette said. “They are my family. I see them more than I do see some family members.” In case you’re wondering, Navarrette also does pedicures at her salon. “A lot of my top-notch clients call me their foot doctor,” she said. “They tell me, ‘You have saved me from going to the podiatrist.’” Whether it’s fingers or toes she’s working on, Cristina Q takes immense pride in her work. “With every person I want them to feel as if it’s the first time that I’ve done their nails,” she said. “I take my time with what I do. The day that I can’t take the time I won’t do this job anymore.” Don’t count on that day coming anytime soon. Cristina Q the Salon is at 7741 Fay Ave. in La Jolla.

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

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

Key-less car burglaries on the rise San Diego Police Department Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser informed members of the La Jolla Shores Association board about a new type of vehicle crime, and gave a possible solution to car owners. Hesselgesser said thieves have recently stolen key-less vehicles by using a device that amplifies the signal the key fob emits, which otherwise wouldn’t unlock the car unless within a few feet of the vehicle. To combat this crime, he said car owners can purchase “faraday” boxes or cages online that block the signal. Also, he said, putting the key fob wrapped in aluminum foil or inside a small metal cage may have the same effect. — María José Durán

Rebounding from a late start to retirement savings

ome people do not have the ability to begin saving for retirement early on. Others may have brushed retirement savings aside for so long that they are now worried that it’s too late to begin socking away money for retirement.While it’s best to start saving for retirement as early as possible, the good news is that it’s never too late to start planning for retirement. If your 40th birthday has long passed and you’re finally thinking ahead to retirement, consider these catch-up strategies. Research tax-advantageous retirement savings plans. A financial planner can point you in the right direction, or consult with your employer about employee programs. Deposit money into a 401(k) or 403(b) plan or another retirement vehicle. Jump on any opportunities when your employer matches invested funds. Investigate an IRA and find out if there are any government incentives. Depending on your age, you may be able to deposit more money into such accounts than other investors. Cut back on expenses. Cutting back on unnecessary expenses is a great way to save more money for retirement. Figure out where you can save some money you can then allocate to retirement savings. Maybe you can reduce insurance coverage on an older car or raise your deductible? Downsize cable packages or skip that costly cup of coffee on the way to work. Perhaps it’s time to look for a smaller, less expensive home or a compact car instead of an SUV. Any money

saved now will benefit you when the time comes time to bid farewell to the workforce. Delay your retirement. Many people who retire find themselves bored and looking for ways to fill their time, and as a result more and more people are delaying their retirement, which also gives them more time to save for that day when they do call it quits. If you want to work less, discuss and negotiate a phased retirement with your bosses that allows you to stick with your employer but gradually work fewer hours until you retire completely. You may be able to work part-time for several years and retire when you’re most comfortable. Consider more aggressive funds. Even if you are 50 you still have a few decades before retirement, which leaves lots of time to grow your retirement savings. But you may want to consider more aggressive funds that can help you catch up more quickly than less aggressive investments. Just know that aggressive funds may also leave you susceptible to substantial losses. Don’t amass debt. If you’re saving for retirement but only paying minimum balances on your credit cards, then you’re not really saving. Pay down credit card debt before you begin to set aside money for retirement. Delaying retirement planning may mean you have to work a little harder to build up a solid reserve. But by following some financial tips and persevering, you can still enjoy retirement with security.

Kudos to La Jolla’s school teams at recent Science Olympiads La Jolla High School competed in the Regional Science Olympiad Competition Feb. 18 for the first time in many years and did extraordinarily well against schools from all over San Diego County. There were more than 70 teams competing. Placing in any of the 23 contests of the day is a huge accomplishment for any team and La Jolla impressed by placing in seven contests — five in the Top 10. Muirlands Middle School, under Head Coach Celia Cravatt, also did extraordinarily well in the Science Olympiad on Feb. 4 for Middle Schools (Division B). Participants placed in many events and obtained 10th place overall with more than 110 teams participating. La Jolla High results: Fifth place Anatomy & Physiology: Maddie Leone and Isha Raj-Silverman. Ninth place Ecology: Chloe Covington and Maddie Leone. 14th place Microbe Mission: Riley Saham and Aspen Pastore.

Don’t blame dog droppings for community’s loss of track use As one of the community representatives with whom La Jolla High School Principal Podhorsky met unsuccessfully, last week’s article shows him staying on course with his stated intention of keeping the public off the track and ending, in his words, this “entitlement.” The solution he’s offered is unworkable except for an elite few willing to pay heavily to run at very restricted times, and so will go nowhere, as he expects. My sense is that he’s just attempting to check a Community Relations box. This “entitled” public is actually a diverse and responsible group with limited options, for whom the principal explicitly demonstrates no empathy. The track is that rare outdoor site in La Jolla offering fitness combined with safety — a cushioned, even surface removed from the dangers of vehicles, cyclists and exhaust fumes. Users included senior runners and walkers, younger people with physical impairments or just trying to get fit, athletes training during off hours, those without cars who

can’t travel miles to run safely, people who can’t afford the cost or space of treadmills, and many others. That they all are denied access to such an important public health asset when not in use by the school is deplorable. To advance his agenda, the principal places quite a spin on the public’s abuse. He refers to violations of posted rules, although I’m one long-time track user who has yet to find them. We can all observe that the track lasted for many years and was still in decent shape just before it was resurfaced. While every reasonable step should be taken to set and enforce rules to ensure the track’s longevity, let’s also keep in mind the principal’s motivations are to exaggerate the threats. Speaking of which, the principal repeatedly mentions dog droppings. You can find droppings on the unlocked part of the school grounds, too, (and perhaps from the skunk I’ve seen there). If there is a solution for removing droppings on the main school grounds, can’t that solution also suffice for the area around the track? I travel on business and often run on high school tracks in various places. Somehow lots of schools engage with their communities rather than idle their public health assets (including, although sadly not enough, in San Diego). In the wake of your story, many in the community have been circulating good, practical ideas, which will be described separately. Meanwhile, given the magnitude of the school districts reported budget deficits, building a $12 million facility and then denying the public any reasonable access raises questions about whether that much was really needed to be spent. Is public support for various school activities and future tax levies going to erode as a result? I’m not seeing any passing grades here in Community Relations. It’s time for the principal to stop the propaganda and excuses and finally engage with this community. Nick Ecos

My name is Mauricio Medina and I am her council representative to La Jolla. I have spoken with the Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla and they have it in their renovation plans to keep the tree.

Pinniped stench is putrid, pervasive I am here visiting my father and stepmother (Gene and Betty Sally) who live at White Sands. This morning (March 8) I took off to get some exercise and take in the breathtaking coast. The beginning of the walk could be described with the usual superlatives — stunning, serene, life affirming — and then I got to The Children’s Pool, where I grew up swimming. I’ve seen the transformation from beach into seal sanctuary, so I was not surprised. There were not a lot of seals on the beach, so the funk was not as strong as it could have been, and I jogged through the stink fog and

The fetid assault on my senses was a physical blow and even mouth-breathing could not ameliorate the rank and rancid cloud. I am just a visitor now, and don’t have a dog in this fight, but those who live or work near there — I am sincerely sorry for you! I feel certain that in the thousands of miles of coastline available to these animals, someone could figure out another spot. La Jolla is indeed still breathtaking, but now in the very literal sense.

City of San Diego cannot take action on pinnipeds There are those who believe the City of San Diego should offer protection to local pinnipeds. The City is forbidden by Federal law from taking any action that could be construed as “seal or sea lion management.” Marine Mammal Protection Act, Section 109. Federal Cooperation with States. Section 109(a) clearly states that no State may exercise

management authority unless this authority has been formally transferred. Neither the State of California nor the City of San Diego has been granted this authority. Therefore, it is illegal to make any attempt to manage these species unless they represent a clear health and safety hazard or become a nuisance. In these instances, Section 109(h) explicitly authorizes the City to eliminate the problem. The Federal Government is responsible for marine pinnipeds. The City of San Diego is responsible for the health and welfare of its citizens. By requesting the City to protect the California sea lions at the Cove and harbor seals at the Children’s Pool, people are asking the City to violate Federal law. The City has favored pinnipeds over people for several decades with impunity. David Valentine Retired Marine Biologist

District Attorney fights ‘stereotypes’ of human trafficking Lawyer points out how to spot victims

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN La Jolla Bar Association members were briefed on how to spot and combat human trafficking at their March 9 meeting, held at the Empress Hotel on Fay Avenue. Chief Deputy District Attorney Summer Stephan, who has been battling the illegal activity for over a decade told those gathered, “We have an image of human trafficking, and it usually involves some international affair, some border crossing, some lines between states, some foreign national or immigrant, when in fact, sex trafficking is 80 percent domestic in the United States.” She said the average age of a sex-trafficking victim is 16, adding that a study investigating 20 San Diego high schools found confirmed cases in 90 percent. “We find victims all the way across the county. We’ve had sex-trafficking cases in Carlsbad, La Jolla ... from every area,” she explained. Stephan said social media has revolutionized the recruiting techniques of sex traffickers. “When I first started with this issue, it used to take place in low socio-economic areas. That’s changed now because of the Internet. Through social media, traffickers and recruiters are reaching into our children’s bedrooms, and using their devices to lure them and recruit them,” she said. In recent cases, recruiters were using a fake modeling agency as an excuse to get close to the victims. Up until 2012, sex-traffic victims under age 18 weren’t viewed as such if there was consent. “If you are a minor, it’s totally irrelevant if you consent to prostitution,” Stephan said. “It’s incredible to imagine that if a child under age 18 is molested by a stepfather, teacher or whatever it may be, society acknowledges that’s a crime. But if that child is subjected to 10 acts of sex abuse every night at a hotel where he or she is being sold, somehow society feels like they’re just prostitutes, and no longer a

San Diego Chief Deputy District Attorney Summer Stephan (at the podium) announces the results of a multi-agency operation across California to stop the sexual exploitation of young women and girls. ‘Operation Reclaim and Rebuild’ took place over a two-day period at the end of January.

Summer Stephan received the 2014 Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition ‘Angel of Human Trafficking’ award for her 10 years of dedication in this area of law.

victim of sexual abuse.” She further pointed out that legislation for human trafficking has been late-coming in the United States. Until 2000, there wasn’t a federal law tackling the issue, and the state version didn’t come into existence until 2005. “My feeling is that the reason we didn’t have a law until 2000 is that we had a belief that this didn’t happen in our country. It happened somewhere else. It didn’t make sense until we realized we really needed it.”

How she’s now going to be used for prostitution all weekend while claiming to be at her girlfriend’s house?’ The reason is the gangs know exactly what to do; they’ve given her drugs and alcohol and put her in a compromising position at a party with lots of pictures taken. What do teenagers fear the most? Being humiliated by their classmates. No force is needed. No chains are needed. The psychological chain of feeling ashamed and that you’re going to be embarrassed is enough for teenagers to do everything they’re asked to do.” Another problem in the fight against sex trafficking is that victims don’t consider themselves such. “We need to be the eyes and ears to see them. And report it,” Stephan concluded. ■ To report a victim of sex trafficking: Call 1 (888) 3737-888 or text BeFree (233733).

How to spot sex traffic victims

In January 2016, a state law went into effect requiring mandatory reporting of minor-age victims of commercial sexual exploitation. “Before this law passed, if a teacher overheard that a child in school was engaging in prostitution, the teachers did not have a duty to report that because it was not considered child abuse,” Stephan said.

She has been training teachers, school nurses and hospital personnel about how to spot victims of sex traffic. Some of the behaviors include a steady need of abortions, possession of material objects (jewelry) that haven’t been accounted for and frequent disappearances from the home. Minors who’ve experienced homelessness or are in the foster care system are at a higher risk of becoming victims. “When I train school nurses, I’ve had some of them in tears because I’ve described scenarios they’ve seen,” Stephan continued. “(For example) on Friday, a young girl comes in and says she has cramps, she needs to go home. With her in the room there’s another girl, posing as her friend, but that girl is only there to make sure she says the right thing so she can go. “Now you wonder, ‘Why is this girl not telling the nurse what’s happening to her?

Nancy Davis Kronemyer September 1, 1921 - March 4, 2017

La JoLa — Nancy Marie Davis Kronemyer, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully in her sleep. She was born to Marie Jacobs Davis and Edward E. Davis in Chicago, Illinois. In her youth, she traveled throughout North america as her father, a general contractor, supervised the construction of large-scale retail, industrial and military installations, along with other public works, including the former downtown San Diego Public Library. She graduated from Mills College and then went to work at IBM. It was during this time that she met and married the love of her life, Robert Edwin Kronemyer. Family fable has it that he collided with her on a ski slope, whereupon she yelled, “You meatball!”, with his proposal following a few days later. Following the birth of their elder son,

David, they moved west to San Diego. Robert, who was a gunnery officer on board a destroyer escort in the Pacific Theater, had been based there during World War II. Daniel and Kristen were born shortly thereafter. They resided in La Jolla for their 64 years of marriage. Nancy was a devoted mother to her three children, as well as a talented equestrian, photographer, and business partner with Robert, investing in real

estate in the growing San Diego market. Nancy was best known for her tireless community engagement and volunteer activities. She was involved in many organizations, taking leadership roles in a number of them. She held offices in the San Diego Bar auxiliary and Gift of Loving Donors as well as serving on committees for the RCH Charity Ball and Social Service League, among others. Her later focus was on helping seniors through Meals on Wheels San Diego County, serving on the Board of that organization. She also supported the Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts. In recognition for her many years of helping others, she was honored by the Salvation army Women’s auxiliary as a “Woman of Dedication.” She still had time for hobbies. She was an avid reader and intrepid world traveler, visiting most of the countries around the

globe. She welcomed all she met into her home as a friend. anyone who was fortunate enough to sit next to her at a dinner party would enjoy a wonderful evening with a lively, witty and brilliant woman. Nancy is survived by her husband Robert; children, David (Judith Gasson), Daniel (Cynthia) and Kristen Pieper (Michael Rossbacher); grandchildren, andrew, Lauren, Dane, Drake, Nan, Cade and Makena; and the many friends she made along the way. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome a donation to Meals on Wheels San Diego County (http://www.meals-onwheels.org/give; 2254 San Diego avenue, Suite 200 San Diego, Ca 92110). Services are pending. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Court offers online service for jury exclusion requests San Diego County residents can now submit online requests for exclusion from jury service. The Court’s website sdcourt.ca.gov provides a link where residents can explain why they are either disqualified to serve on a jury or should be excused due to various reasons, such as recently sitting on a jury, active military service or financial hardship. The service began March 6. Juror summons are blindly drawn, twice a year, from information obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles and the San Diego County Registrar of Voters. Potential jurors can be summoned for service once every 12 months, however if they have served as a sworn juror on a trial they may request an excuse for up to 36 months. Exclusion requests via regular mail, are also acceptable.

City Council group seeks changes on school boards A memo signed by the four Republican-affiliated San Diego City Council members (Lorie Zapf, District 2; Mark Kersey, District 5; Chris Cate, District 6; and Scott Sherman, District 7) proposes to limit the terms of those serving on the San Diego Unified School Board (SDUSD) to two consecutive four-year terms. At present, there are no term limits. Directed to Council president Myrtle Cole, the memo also recommends amending Article 6 of the Municipal Code to make sure that after the June primaries, candidates from the different districts go to a November runoff election locally instead of citywide. The election rules that have thus far governed how SDUSD elects its board members are, according to the memo, “in direct conflict with City, County and State election processes, all of which place limitations on terms and require district-specific general elections.” The Feb. 28 memo asks Council president Coyle to bring the issue to the full Council for a vote.

La Jollan chosen for Airport Noise Subcommittee San Diego Airport Authority president Thella Bowens selected Chris McCann of La Jolla to serve on the Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) subcommittee, to fill a seat vacated by a member who resigned. During the Feb. 15 ANAC meeting, where for the first time La Jolla surpassed Point Loma in the number of airplane noise complaints, committee members acknowledged the lack of representation from the 92037 ZIP code. Former pilot McCann volunteered for the job. With nearly 30 years of aviation experience, including 5,000 hours of flying time as an Air Force test pilot, he told La Jolla Light he has a deep understanding of “how aircraft operate, how air traffic control works, what it means to fly a SID (standard instrument departure) or STAR (standard terminal arrival), what a pilot experiences in the cockpit, the impacts on flying of weather and wind and the engineering and operation of today’s GPS-based navigation and autopilot systems.” McCann was seated at the March 15 subcommittee meeting.

Five local students are Presidential Scholar candidates Five La Jolla students have made the list of U.S. Presidential Scholars candidates for 2017. They are: Posy K. Stoller (La Jolla Country Day School), Lorenzo J. Calvano and Haoran Guo (La Jolla High School) and Kevin Chen and Ryan T. Feng (The Bishop’s School). The program was established in 1964 by executive order to recognize some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Roughly 2,600 students are named as candidates. In April, the Commission on Presidential Scholars selects up to 161. All are honored during the National Recognition Program, held in June in Washington, D.C. and receive an expense-paid trip to meet with government officials and educators, and receive the U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House.

Community planners to discuss park policy at April 6 meeting La Jolla Community Planning Association will discuss developing a policy on whether to vet non-profit organizations that would like to host ticketed events in public parks, 6 p.m. Thursday, April 6 at La Jolla Rec

Center, 615 Prospect St. Spurred by a discussion during its March 2 meeting on the Concours d’Elegance, which uses nearly all of Scripps Park for its three-day car show, trustee Dan Courtney said the board should revise its review process. “There used to be an informal policy that any time an organization uses public property for an event and charges admission, it had to disclose how much money was made and where it was going. We wanted to see how much was going to the promoter and how much was going to charity,” he said. “Every year, the group behind the Concours d’Elegance makes presentations and requests use of the park but refuses to disclose their finances. This year was no exception.” He argued for a policy going forward that groups wanting to use a public park, need to disclose the event finances. Trustee Janie Emerson added, “This is not the first time this has come up. I think it’s appropriate for us to establish a policy so when organizations come before us we can cite the policy and say ‘this is the information we need.’ ” lajollacpa.org

PT’s owners purchased BRCR on Jan. 31. Both company brands will remain distinct, and former BRCR owner Chuck Patton will stay on as Head Coffee Buyer for both companies. The acquisition will mean new locations, new coffee offerings and new products. “In the midst of so much excitement with expanding to the West Coast, we have even more to celebrate,” said Jeff Taylor, co-owner. “As a result of the merging of business assets, we will be able to source more award-winning coffees from more countries, increase socially responsible direct trade coffee consumption throughout San Diego, and expand opportunities for our incredibly talented employees.” birdrockcoffee.com

Animal control issues warning about snakes After a woman in Del Mar was recently bitten by a rattlesnake, Laurie Joniaux, North County Region Deputy Director for the San Diego Department of Animal Services, addressed the issue at the Bird Rock Community Council meeting, March 7. “People are often surprised to learn they can find rattlesnakes around here or at the beach,” she said. “The snakes tend to hibernate, but the weather is so beautiful here that they’re out all the time.” She added if a rattlesnake is out of hibernation, it is likely looking for a food source such as mice, rats and other small rodents. She advised residents to keep the rodent population down in their neighborhoods to discourage snakes from looking for food there. “If you see a rattlesnake, visit sddac.com/patrol.asp to report it,” Joniaux said.

A New Type of Psychotherapy Like many good things in life, clinical psychology and Dr. E.B. (Barry) Keehn did not meet up until he’d sampled many other forms of insight and learning. Born in the nation’s capital but partly raised in London, he left home at the age of 17 and hitch-hiked his way across Europe and then traveled overland to India and Thailand, where he stopped and studied to become a Buddhist monk.

However, traveling on to Japan, he met his wife, who soon presented him with twin girls. That focused his mind on earning a living, so he returned to the U.S. and obtained a Ph.D. in political science at Berkeley, specializing in the politics of Japan. Then, with a third daughter, he accepted an appointment at Cambridge University in England, where he taught for several years. When his oldest girls reached high school age, he decided to return to California so they could prepare to go to college here, while he became the President of the Japan Society of Southern California. Dissatisfied with a life mostly devoted to business affairs, Japanese interests, and raising money, he once again changed course and got a second doctorate in Clinical Psychology. But as his Los Angeles practice developed, he realized that traditional approaches to psychotherapy did not satisfy either his perceptions or the needs of many of his patients. Many of his patients came to him with immediate problems that, on closer inspection, derived from emotional reasoning, narratives, and behaviors that stemmed from much

earlier life experiences. But these historically embedded guides were often completely irrelevant to the choices, circumstances and challenges they faced now. Keehn therefore developed something he calls Present Moment Analysis because he believes that once we cultivate our “inner observer” we can better understand our thoughts and behaviors as they occur and move away from repetitive patterns of worry, depression, and anxiety. In Present Moment Analysis the client-therapist relationship includes three things: a) psychotherapy based on focused dialogue, b) broad-based readings and current research findings in areas of direct relevance to each client’s concerns, and c) the integration of meditation practices to enhance feelings of calm while augmenting insight, self-awareness, and social intelligence. This approach is not a quick fix and requires thought and effort on the part of the patient. One reason Keehn moved his practice from Los Angeles to the San Diego area is that he likes working with older people who have the necessary time and patience. He’s currently based in Solana Beach but is looking for a permanent office in La Jolla. He can be contacted via his website: www.presentmoment. healthcare.

Let the Games Begin!

St. Germaine invites newcomers to fundraising play days BY ASHLEY MACKIN or more than 20 years, a group of women have gathered at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club once a month for an afternoon of games and camaraderie to help raise money for St. Germaine Children’s Charity, whose goal is to stop child abuse in San Diego County. Now, the approximately 24 current members are looking for more people to join them. Participants (predominantly women, but men are welcome) can play any game they’d like, as long as it’s suitable for a table of four people. Most play Bridge. Other games include Mahjong, Rummikub and Canasta. The so-called “Games Day” group meets 10 a.m. the first Tuesday of the month, and plays until lunch, around noon. After lunch, participants can stay if they’d like, for as long as they’d like, but players typically leave by 2 or 3 p.m. Players do not have to be members of the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club or St. Germaine Children’s Charity to participate. Current group president Marguie Bartels explained, “To sign up, you get a group of four friends together and let us know you are coming by at least the Friday before. You have to have your own group, but we have a short list of substitutes in case someone falls out. SEE ST. GERMAINE, B19

Like many seamstresses, she needs glasses after a life of looking closely at the needle of her sewing machine. Her hands are soft and strong at the same time. She speaks softly and with a strong accent, but the pitch of her laugh comes across as easy as pie.

What’s your full name?

“Vasilike Spounias Kiki, but everybody knows me as Kiki.”

Where are you from?

“I’m from Greece. I came to Toledo (Ohio) when I was 22, got married and moved to San Diego.”

When did you come to La Jolla?

“When I came to San Diego, I didn’t speak much English, so once I had my children, I stayed at home. I had a few clients in La Jolla, so I would come to their homes, fit them, and do the alterations back at my home. Then in 1983, I started to work in La Jolla for another alteration store that was where mine is today. The owner left and went to the end of Girard, but I stayed. That was 1990. I’ve been open for almost 30 years.”

Fiduciary advice from Auntie Inga

La Jolla Cultural Partners

s you’ve probably been reading, the fiduciary rule — the one that says that financial advisers have to put the client’s interests first — may not go into effect in April after all. A recent article in US News reported that non-fiduciary advice costs Americans $17 billion a year. And my response is: only $17 billion? Welcome to Inga’s School of Fiduciary Failures. I’ve never had a single piece of good financial advice from a broker or a bank. You’d think that just once somebody would have sold me a product that inadvertently made money not just for them, but for me too. But nope! Even in up years when people were routinely making 10 to 15 percent, I had investments that were losing that much. In 1984, a year after becoming single, I invested a $6,000 inheritance with a broker at a downtown La Jolla brokerage with the hope of buying a new (used) car in two years. He invested it all into international currency bond funds. I was lucky to get $3,000 back. Important lessons: 1) Never ever invest in vehicles you don’t understand. 2) Do not buy investments from someone you’re dating. (No. 2 may in fact be even more important than No. 1). My father always had a stock broker.

People in my generation still think of it as a respectable profession. But we would be wrong. Now that there are virtually no more company pensions, we’ve all had to become investors, making our own retirement fund decisions. We’re basically roadkill for the vultures who populate this industry. After the brokerage fiasco, I tried to get my investment advice from “financial counselors” at my bank. But the turnover of those folks was higher than the swing shift at Jack in the Box. It didn’t help that my banks kept folding (the one on Pearl where the mattress store is now went down for fraud) or being swallowed up by bigger banks (all the rest of them). At one of my myriad ex-banks, I took their free “Finance for Women” course, which came with a complimentary financial consultation afterward. I showed up with my check for $1,000 and said that after taking the course, I had targeted a particular fund that I thought suited my financial goals. Oh, no, says the investment counselor, she’d like to suggest a much better fund for me from the Pacific group of funds. Turns out that the ONLY funds they sold were Pacific funds, which obviously were hugely commission-driven for them. I’m

embarrassed to report (I am such a slow learner) that I allowed myself to be convinced that the Pacific fund was the better investment, a sentiment I did not share a year later when it was worth $800 (in an up market!) and the investment lady was long gone. (Soon after, so was the bank.) When we got a home equity loan to remodel our kitchen at the big red brick bank, their investment adviser attempted to get us to put our investments “under the umbrella” of their bank so they could “manage” them for us. “Bwaaahahaha,” I said. I should note that along the way, I’ve had two excellent sources of financial advice. I had three dates with a really seedy boiler room guy. (Those are the guys still swimming around the dating pool when you suddenly find yourself divorced at 35.) No background in finance required in his biz. Arrest record OK. His company targeted Midwesterners who would send back a card from some publication where this company heavily advertised. The investments were total crap; the boiler room guy said they made 40 percent on every deal. Why doesn’t word get around? I asked. Because people only brag about making money, not losing it, he said. Thank you, seedy boiler room guy. My second, and definitely best, source of financial advice was, of course, my second husband Olof. Olof, who has always done his own investing, was horrified at the “investment” advice I had received. He convinced me that I could read a prospectus as well as anyone (a subject strangely absent in the “Finance for Women” course). More to the point, the advantage I had over an

LIGHT FILE

“At one of my myriad ex-banks, I took their free ‘Finance for Women’ course.” — Inga “investment adviser” was that I was putting myself first in the profit equation. At my worst, I did better than I’d done with “professional” advice. I don’t want to suggest that all financial advisers should be painted with the same brush. In the absence of Olof, I would totally trust my financial adviser neighbor Bob, but only because Bob knows me really, really well. He is not confused that if he churned my account, his cruelly dismembered remains would be found in the ashes of his house. And that’s really the most important lesson I’ve learned in all this: Whoever manages your money should be clear on your definition of “fiduciary.” — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

citizen, so I brought my mom and two sisters, who still live in San Diego, but my mom passed away. I still have some cousins in Greece, I go there some times, but it’s so far away ... and there are so many beautiful places here.”

What services do you provide?

“All kinds of alterations leather, suede, jeans … anything you can imagine. We have also added wedding dresses.”

Where do you live?

What is the craziest thing people have asked you to do?

“I live in a condo behind the La Jolla Hotel. I bought my house in the 1990s. I used to live in North Park and drive here every day, and I was working so hard when my kids were in high school, so we moved closer to here, and finally we moved to the condo.”

“Once we made a custom dog suit. A lady brought us the sun protective fabric and we made a custom full outfit so the dog, who had surgery, didn’t get skin cancer. And we had to fit the dog! Can you imagine that? (laughs)”

Do you do a lot with family?

Who works here with you?

“Yeah, we get together, we’re very close with my daughters and son. They come to my house for dinner, I make Greek dishes. They like pastitsio, lasagna, moussaka, salads, lamb and roasted chicken with lemon.”

“I was by myself for many years, now, my daughter Tami, has been working with me 10 or 15 years, and I have three more employees. I have a specialist, who works on wedding dresses, I do the fitting and she does the sewing.”

What’s your favorite time of the year in La Jolla?

Where did you learn how to sew?

“In Greece, when I was 9 or 10 years old. I come from a very small village, and every winter it snowed, so we couldn’t go out and work on a farm. There was a seamstress coming to town, and she taught me and three other girls.”

Why did you come to America?

“In 1959, my aunt (my mom’s sister who lived in the United States), came to visit us in Greece after three or four years away. I told her I wanted to come to America. I said, ‘Please, aunt, take me!’ And one day I received a letter, and when I opened it there was an $800 check inside. I felt like I was

Kiki still sews at age 78. She learned her craft at age 9 in Greece. flying! She brought me here for a one-month visit to learn about couture. In 1961, I arrived in New York after 11 days on a boat, and I came to Ohio. But, for me to stay, I had to marry someone who was an American. So I married my husband, who passed away years ago.”

Why did you stay?

“When I came to the United States, I felt like I was in heaven, I loved it.”

What do you like to do for fun?

“I like the sunny and hot days, I don’t like it when it’s cold and rains.”

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

“I’m a little workaholic (laughs). I get up in the morning at 6 a.m. and I go swimming, there’s a pool where I live. I swim half an hour, I go home, take a shower, and come to work. I just love coming to work. Sometimes I travel. I go to Ohio, and last year, I met my cousins there and we took a bus to New York with a group from church, and it was awesome.”

Do you miss your family?

“After three years, I became an American

What do you like to do around town?

“I like to go walking at The Shores, going to the nice restaurants there, walking to The Cove and shopping around to support the local people. I love it here.”

Describe your marriage?

“I got married by arrangement. I knew him for four days when we got married. He was Greek, too, but he came here when he was 13. But we were happy, because love comes and goes, but if you respect the person, it stays.”

Redemption comes emotionally to ‘The Blameless’ at The Old Globe LET’S REVIEW BY DIANA SAENGER n the opening of ‘‘The Blameless,” Diana Garcia (Antoinette LaVecchia) is anxiously running around her kitchen and yelling at her daughter, Theresa (Nataysha Rey), for all kinds of things. They scream back and forth contradicting each other, until Theresa runs to her room to be with her friend Howard (Amara James Aja), about whom her parents know little. The family plans a dinner that night and has invited someone who is somewhat connected to a tragedy that has befallen each of their families. Eventually, Alex (Frank Pando) “husband/dad” appears in the kitchen, makes simple conversation and starts preparing his dish for the meal. Family member Amanda (Liza Colón-Zayas) also scurries around, while Diana continues to be stressed, in this disturbing picture. When guest Drew Davis (Stephen Barker Turner) arrives, everyone is now slow to speak or finish making dinner. Through Drew’s stilted conversation, it’s soon revealed that a son from both their families was involved in a situation involving a gun that did not end well. There are terse moments, explanations, kind words, unkind words, and some rude reactions throughout dinner. The need for redemption is evident all the way around. For some of the characters, it’s easier than the others. ‘‘The Blameless,” by Nick Gandiello, can’t be labeled lighthearted or uplifting, but its seriousness reaches the audience through great performances and great direction by Gaye Taylor Upchurch. One definitely leaves The Old Globe Theatre in conversation with others after seeing this world premiere drama.

Are You Able To Enjoy The Most Important Things In Life? Get mobile with Active Release Techniques® ! Voted Best Chiropractor in La Jolla for 4 years!

Free Initial Consultation For All New Patients. Active Rest Chiropractic specializes in head, neck and back conditions and Active Release Techniques®. A.R.T. is a combination of stretching and pressure point therapy that breaks up scar tissue and knots in the muscles, increasing the body’s ability to achieve and hold proper alignment.

The Non-Popping, Non-Cracking, Gentle Chiropractic Experience Our goal at Active Rest is to help as many people as possible to regain and maintain health. It is difﬁcult to enjoy the ﬁner things in life when you are living in pain or dysfunction. We would like to be given an opportunity to restore your health so you can do the things you want most. They might include: enjoying family time, playing with your children or grandchildren, exercising regularly or improving performance, having additional energy or feeling and looking younger! This can all be achieved because the Power in the body can Heal the body!! Dr. Collan Koeppen, D.C. knows what it’s like to have chronic pain. As a child, he suffered a sports injury that knocked his neck out of proper alignment. The ripple effects of this injury caused headaches, behavioral changes, back and leg pain, muscle spasms and more. Not realizing the underlying cause of these symptoms, Dr. Koeppen treated them with traditional medicine, without a resolution. It was 20 years before he found the true healing he needed, an upper cervical adjustment. From there his chronic pain was relieved, and his mood, energy and performance dramatically improved. We now offer this same healing treatment to others. In a relaxing clinic located in the heart of La Jolla, Dr. Koeppen specializes in upper cervical care, using a gentle manual adjustment to the vertebrae of the neck and spine without any cracking or popping. He treats patients of all ages, even infants. Dr. Koeppen also utilizes Active Release Techniques® (A.R.T.) in his treatments. A.R.T. is a soft tissue management system that breaks up scar tissue and knots, muscle tension, and nerve entrapment. A.R.T., simply put, can help you move better and hurt less. Many things can lead to body imbalance: a sports injury, repetitive movements, long hours sitting at a desk, driving, a fall, an auto accident, and more. If you are experiencing symptoms you didn’t have before, or have suffered with them for a long time, visit Active Rest to discover how we can help you.

Dr. Collan Koeppen, D.C.

“Dr. Collan & Evan are turning back the years on my body. Shoulder & foot are painless, plus have an expanded range of motion. Strides are longer and posture improved with each treatment. Muscles and ligaments are functioning independently rather than in a jumbled mess. Very happy with the results. - Jim E.

MCASD to host private shows in La Jolla during construction

ANGIE OLLMAN

Art patrons admire a private collection at the first ‘Cocktails & Collections’ event from the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN “Cocktails & Collections,” a monthly art program sponsored by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) will be held at private collectors’ homes all over San Diego throughout the construction period at their La Jolla galleries at 700 Prospect St. The next event will take place Thursday, March 23 at Margaret Jackson’s home. MCASD closed its doors in January to undergo a renovation and expansion that will keep the gallery spaces under construction until 2020. The downtown building (1100 Kettner Blvd.) remains open. To stay connected to its community, MCASD is making an effort to maintain a presence, and Cocktails & Collections is one of the featured events. “Guests enjoy an evening of great art, local

cuisine and cocktails, and mingling with new friends and old as they learn about MCASD’s current exhibitions and expansion plans,” wrote marketing manager Leah Straub in an e-mail, adding that the program presents a unique opportunity to explore the many great collections that reside in homes and to connect with like-minded art lovers. MCASD will also partner with The LOT (7611 Fay Ave.) to present “An Artist Perspective,” a “casual and engaging” lecture series featuring artists across the San Diego region. The next program is slated for April 18 with Los Angeles-based artist Tanya Aguiniga. ■ For more information, contact MCASD’s advancement director Elizabeth Yang-Hellewell at (858) 454-3541, ext. 79 or e-mail eyanghellewell@mcasd.org

SPONSORED COLUMNS STEPHEN PFEIFFER, PH.D. Clinical Psychologist 858.784.1960

To Tweet or Not to Tweet, That Is the Question See if this is familiar: You post a picture on your social media account, maybe of your vacation or of the meal you prepared, or of your pet doing something so adorable that it puts videos of other people’s grandchildren to shame. Your few dependable “likers” are the ﬁrst to acknowledge your post with the requisite “thumbs up” or heart. You put your mobile device away to work on that project that’s due at the end of the week, or to eat the meal you just prepared and showed off online. But then you start checking in with your social media account to see if any new reactions have come in. Maybe you pull out

your phone during the dinner, or you get stuck on a section of the project and think, Well, I’ll just go back online to check my social media account, see what others are up to. In the meantime, maybe another “like” or reaction has come in, and then you see a fascinating article, or a video, or a friend’s post, and you ﬁnd yourself responding, and all of a sudden, three hours of your life have gone by and you haven’t gotten anything done. Or perhaps you’re the type of person to engage online in political discussions-turneddebates-turned-all-out-battles, spending hours checking to see if your online combatant has responded to your last comment. You feel angry, even stressed out, that someone could be so ignorant, and you have to set them straight (or at least not let them get away with their ignorance unscathed). In any of these cases, you can become sucked into the loop of constant checking, a habit that becomes an addiction. For some, being a constant checker is a search for validation. For other people, constant checking is the same kind of addictive behavior as unconsciously reaching for the third straight cigarette or

dipping into the bag of chips when you’re not hungry. But the patterns are the same, and an increased focus on social media is now shown to cause an increased level of stress among Americans. In fact, in its most recent annual survey on stress in America, the American Psychological Association found that stress and anxiety levels have made the ﬁrst signiﬁcant jump higher in ten years. According to the report, “Between August 2016 and January 2017, the overall average reported stress level of Americans rose from 4.8 to 5.1, on a scale where 1 means little or no stress and 10 means a great deal of stress.” The American Psychological Association made its surprising announcement last month. The report that stress levels are up may not be news to most Americans; however, the extreme rise in rates is what’s so surprising. Between last year’s election and the inauguration, 57% of Americans have reported that the political climate was their main source of stress. An important corollary effect of the increased levels of stress was the increase in health issues. According to the same APA report, respondents

reported “at least one health symptom because of stress rose from 71 percent to 80 percent over ﬁve months. A third of Americans have reported speciﬁc symptoms such as headaches (34 percent), feeling overwhelmed (33 percent), feeling nervous or anxious (33 percent) or feeling depressed or sad (32 percent).” It’s no accident that stress levels have gotten higher. In the same ten-year span that the APA has conducted its stress survey, the Pew Research Center has reported that usage of social media has increased from 5% of Americans on social media sites in 2006 to roughly 69% today. With 69% of Americans on social media sites, many of them becoming constant checkers, being constantly bombarded with contradictory viewpoints from the 24-hour news cycle or from social comparison , it’s no wonder that anxiety rates are up.

www.lajollalight.com FROM ST. GERMAINE, B1 Everyone can do their own thing. They decide what they want to play and everyone is in charge of their own table.” Added regular player Sarah Forster, “People like it because you play at your own pace … it’s a beautiful setting and the lunch is so sumptuous. People like to get together and play Bridge, and with us, they can enjoy the club and its facilities without needing to be a member.” The monthly gathering was started more than 20 years ago (exactly when is a bit of a mystery) by St. Germaine founder Barbara Christensen, as an alternative to the formal fundraisers, such as the Silver Tea and galas. “It was supposed to be for St. Germaine members, so they could have fun and still give something to charity. But now you don’t have to be a member to participate. A lot has changed since the beginning. For example, the ladies wore suits and high heels back then, but now we wear jeans,” said Geri Horton, who ran the group for 10 years before handing it over to Bartels. “I like the camaraderie, and I like coming to the Beach & Tennis Club.

KITCHEN SHRINK Greet the great Guinness on St. Paddy’s Day BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN n March 17, some 13 million pints of Guinness — the Emerald Isle’s beloved brew — will be guzzled around the globe as hibernophiles pay tribute to their patron saint and apostle — Patrick. You don’t have to go to Dublin, Ireland, the site of the Guinness Brewery that created the dry stout some 250 years ago to celebrate the virtues of this iconic liquid treasure. Sláinte! A Crafty Fellow: In the mid 1700s, intrepid brewer, Arthur Guinness experimented with fermentation using roasted unmalted barley, pale malt and an extra dose of nitrogen and carbon dioxide creating a ruby red hue with delicate bubbles, a tangy, toasty flavor and a thick creamy head. The dark brew, soon the drink of choice of London train station porters, earned Guinness the moniker “porter” stout, the latter referring to its full-bodied richness. Becoming such a popular drink, Arthur Guinness decided to exclusively brew the stout, and discontinue production of other beers. Today there are 19 versions of the stout, and the Guinness Book of World Records created by the company’s managing director in the 1950s to provide answers to trivia questions and debates that originated in bars where Guinness was served. For All that “Ales” You: The ad slogan of the 1920s — “Guinness is good for you!” — still holds water today. Cheers to beers, especially dark ones like Guinness that dial up the immune system with a rich source of antioxidant flavonoids. Also loaded with silicon, the stout boosts bone health by revving up skeletal cell production that increases density, while its store of iron pumps up red blood cell count. In addition, beer’s ample supply of folate and B6’s has been linked to reducing heart disease risk by lowering harmful homocysteine levels in the blood, while raising “good” cholesterol, which prevents clotting.

Soprano Ariana Strahl

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 16, 2017 - PAGE B21

Mezzo-soprano Victoria Vargas

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus

320 musicians will fill the stage for Verdi’s ‘Requiem’ FROM LJS&C REPORTS The La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) will be joined by four operatic soloists, and two guest choruses when Music Director Steven Schick conducts all in Giuseppe Verdi’s magnificent “Requiem,” for three performances, March 17-19, at Mandeville Auditorium on the UCSD campus. Now in its 62nd season, the non-profit LJS&C is San Diego’s oldest and largest community orchestra and chorus. Its 100-person orchestra and 120-person chorus perform groundbreaking orchestral and choral music along with traditional favorites. Irish-American soprano Ariana Strahl recently made her American debut as Blanche Dubois in “A Streetcar Named Desire” with Opera San Jose, and has been celebrated as a singer with “fearless, accurate vocalism” by Opera Now. Mezzo-soprano Victoria Vargas has performed some 15 roles for the Minnesota Opera, as well as performances with Opera Theater of Saint Louis, Chautauqua Opera, Sarasota Opera and others. Tenor Robert Breault enjoys an international career that features an extraordinary breadth of repertoire. His warm, flexible voice and superb artistic sensibilities combine to make him a consummate singing actor. Bass-baritone Colin Ramsey’s voice has been described as “a foundation you could build a castle on” by Seattle Times. His body of work includes performances with Seattle Opera, Austin Lyric Opera, Sarasota Opera, Des Moines Metro Opera and the Wolf Trap Opera Company. Verdi composed his “Requiem Mass” in 1874, when he was in his 60s and thought

that he had retired. The work came about as a result of the death of two quite different men. The first was composer Gioachino Rossini, who died in November 1868. Verdi suggested that several Italian composers collaborate on a Requiem in Rossini’s memory. Verdi began the effort by submitting the concluding movement, “Libera me.” The project, however, collapsed due to bickering among the participants and sponsors, and the disillusioned Verdi put his manuscript on the shelf. In May 1873, the Italian writer Alessandro Manzoni died. Verdi had admired him all of his adult life and, upon hearing of his death, resolved to complete a requiem — this time entirely of his own writing — for Manzoni. Verdi completed the work in Paris over the next several months and conducted its triumphant premiere in Milan, one year to the day, after Manzoni’s death. There had never been a setting of the requiem mass like it. Verdi used the musical language that had made his operas so effective: gripping and memorable melodies, solo and ensemble writing, a large chorus often employed in dramatic ways, and a virtuoso orchestra. Today, it is regarded as greatest of all settings of this solemn text. ■ IF YOU GO: Hear “Requiem,” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 17 and Saturday, March 18, and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 19 in Mandeville Auditorium at UCSD. Tickets: $39 general, $37 senior, $18 student. Group discounts. Parking fee Friday. Saturday, Sunday parking free. Pre-concert lecture by Schick one hour prior to concerts.

New Zealand’s Black Grace combines traditional Maori and Samoan dance with modern dance and hip-hop at the Spreckels Theatre April 8.

Dance into springtime with La Jolla Music Society BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT La Jolla Music Society traces its roots back to 1941, when Nikolai Sokoloff, former conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, originally founded the Musical Arts Society of La Jolla. Over the years, the organization has grown and prospered, adding dance to their offerings a decade ago. This spring’s Dance Series programs are particularly appealing: two very different companies from two very different parts of the world — the south of France, and the Southern Hemisphere. On Saturday, March 18, at the Civic Theatre, Malandain Ballet Biarritz will present a new spin on the old tale of “Beauty and the Beast,” set to music by Tchaikovsky. Under the direction of choreographer Thierry Malandain, known for combining classical technique and contemporary vision, MBB has become one of Europe’s most popular dance companies since its beginnings in 1998, in the resort town of Biarritz, on France’s southwestern coast. This full-length “Beauty,” called “beautiful and dark” by French reviewers after its 2015 premiere, is influenced by Jean Cocteau’s 1946 classic film and Malandain’s own inner demons, and brightened by “the choreographer’s acute sensitivity, wit and talent.” Here in its U.S. premiere, it’s as far from the new Disney film as you can imagine, but promises to be a stunning experience. The company’s last visit here was quite an experience, according to Leah Rosenthal, LJMS Director of Artistic Planning, who had seen them perform “Cinderella” in France and excitedly booked them to be part of the Dance Series in May 2015. “A week before, we got word that all their crates of costumes were stuck on a boat somewhere off the east coast,” she said. ”We Malandain Ballet Biarritz brings a new spin on ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to San Diego Civic Theatre, March 18.

didn’t want to cancel, so they offered to do a program of short pieces, bought costumes at whatever shops they could find, and somehow made the whole thing come together beautifully, and did master classes too. They were fabulous!” This month’s visit should be less fraught and just as fabulous — definitely a don’t-miss event for dance-lovers. And next month, on Saturday, April 8, Black Grace, which has been hailed as “the most positive, living expression of any New Zealand art,” will present their own six short pieces at the Spreckels Theatre, combining traditional Maori dance and Samoan body percussion with modern dance and hip-hop. Founding artistic director Neil Ieremi may have been, at 19, a late-starter in dance, but he went from becoming an accomplished dancer and choreographer to establishing a company that uses his New Zealand’s indigenous dance and his family’s Samoan heritage to create exciting, powerfully athletic works that have won him worldwide acclaim and prestigious awards. These two dance troupes will surely bring something fresh and new to our stages, and each performance will be preceded by interviews with the artistic director and selected dancers. “We’re so thrilled to be able to bring them to San Diego,” Rosenthal said. “They really are unique voices in the dance world.” ■ IF YOU GO: Malandain Ballet Biarritz, 8 p.m. March 18, Civic Theatre, 1100 Third Ave., downtown San Diego. Black Grace, 8 p.m. April 8, Spreckels Theatre, 121 Broadway, downtown San Diego. Pre-performance interviews at 7 p.m. Tickets: $20-$75. (858) 459-3728. ljms.org

BY PHILLIP MOLNAR The San Diego County median home price was $495,000 in January, unchanged for three months, CoreLogic said. In October 2016, the median hit $507,500 — its highest point in a decade — but has remained under half a million dollars since and pushed the nominal 2005 peak of $517,500 (or $644,487 in 2016 dollars) further out of reach. January is typically the slowest month of the year, a lingering effect of buyers and sellers closing up shop for the holidays. There were 2,480 sales this January, up 4.6 percent from the same time last year. Alan Gin, economist at University of San Diego, said a reason for the unmoved median home price could be rising interest rates since Donald Trump’s election victory and high prices. “While people want to buy houses, we’ve hit a big affordability problem,” Gin said. In 12 months, the county’s home price increased 7 percent. The January resale house median was $537,500, with 1,628 sales, and resale condo median was $385,000, with 748 sales. Both medians were up roughly 6 percent in a year. The newly built home median was up 25 percent in a year, to $615,000 in January. Reflecting a lack of new home construction, 104 homes sold in January, the second lowest number since CoreLogic started keeping track in January 1988. The record belongs to January 2015 with 74 new homes sold. Cash buyers made up 19.2 percent of sales in January, down 1 percent from the same time last year and way off the peak of 37 percent in February 2013. Absentee buyers, usually investors who don’t intend to live in the homes, made up 21.2 percent of sales, nearly unchanged from a year ago. In early 2013, 31.3 percent of sales were to absentee buyers. Southern California’s median home price was up 5.3 percent year-over-year across the region. The biggest increase was in Los Angeles County, at 7.1 percent to a median price of $525,000. It was followed by San Diego County’s 7 percent increase; San Bernardino County with a 6.8 percent increase for a median of $283,000; Riverside County with a 6.5 percent increase for a median of $330,000; Orange County with a 2.6 percent increase for a median of $635,000; and Ventura County with a 2.2 percent increase for $510,000. San Diego County’s housing market in

December 2016 grew more slowly than the national average, reflecting a trend of decelerating price increases since the start of 2016, said the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices released Tuesday. The regional index of home prices, adjusted for seasonal swings, was up 5.4 percent in December compared to a year ago. It rose 5.8 percent nationwide. While San Diego’s increase was still higher than many major cities — Chicago, Phoenix and others — it was below year-over-year jumps at the start of 2016. In January, the San Diego index had risen 6.9 percent in the 12-month period. The growth rate stayed above 6 percent until the end of summer, when the increases began to slow. San Francisco had the biggest December 2016 escalation in the Golden State of 5.7 percent year-over-year growth. Los Angeles County grew at the same rate as San Diego County, 5.4 percent. The change in fortunes for Southern California was not an isolated event. Half of the 20 cities studied by the index in December had higher year-over-year gains at the start of 2016 than the end. Aside from Seattle, the markets with the biggest gains since the start of the year were in places with lower median home prices, such as Tampa, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Chicago and Cleveland. The change could be a reflection of higher mortgage rates since Donald Trump’s election victory. Markets with higher home prices are hit harder by rate increases. Mark Goldman, a finance and real estate lecturer at San Diego State University, said affordability constraints are pushing down prices in San Diego even as a lack of home homes for sale is driving them up. “I think 5.4 percent is sustainable rate of appreciation,” Goldman said, “in contrast to 10 to 12 percent per year. It’s safer.” David Blitzer, managing chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, wrote in the report that although prices increased in all 20 cities studied this year, it was not remarkable in the historic sense. When adjusted for inflation, the index’s nationwide annual increase of 5.8 percent would be 3.8 percent. Since 1975, the average pace has been 1.3 percent annual growth. “Home prices are rising, but the speed is not alarming,” Blitzer wrote.
