The Camino del Oro street in La Jolla Shores was in the dark on Wednesday, March 15. Lack of public lights on the east side of Kellogg Park and an outage in area street lights contributed to the situation.

She took the concern to the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation (LJT&T) board meeting March 15, hoping for resolution to the safety problem. “On La Jolla Shores Drive, between Vallecitos to Camino del Collado, all of them are out, but every other street has five or six lamppost lights out on each street, as well,” she said.

565 Pearl St., Suite 300 La Jolla, CA 92037 (858) 459-4201 lajollalight.com

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Over the past few months, complaints have been reported to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association and the La Jolla Light about businesses using what some La Jollans see as overly aggressive tactics to get customers into their stores. At least three of the shops are on Girard Avenue and another two are on Prospect Street. These are primarily skincare companies with employees who stand in the doorways handing

out product samples and urging passersby to enter the stores. For Julie Durkee, who works in The Village, the practice has changed the way she walks and shops around town, and she said she finds the presence of these clerks “distressing.” “They stand in the doorways and are very friendly and smiling, but if you make eye contact, they say, ‘I can fix the bags under your eyes’ or wrinkles or whatever they notice at first glance.

But if you don’t make eye contact, they follow you, stepping out further,” she reported. “If they just stood in the doorway with samples that wouldn’t bother me, but when they see I’m not making eye contact and they pursue me, that’s not OK.” She said she likes to stroll through town on her lunch break, but no longer walks along Girard Avenue because of these businesses. “It’s unnerving.

Airport Noise Advisory Committee subcommittee members review FAA slides at the March 15 meeting.

La Jollans one step closer to reducing aircraft noise Local committee rep attends first meeting BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The March 15 meeting of the San Diego Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) subcommittee was the first with a La Jolla representative seated at the table. As his first order of business, Chris McCann of La Jolla Shores Heights, requested that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) be asked if it agreed to influence air traffic patterns during the Farmers Insurance Open, which took place at Torrey Pines Golf Course, Jan. 28-31. “Many Bird Rock residents said anecdotally, that it seemed quieter the weekend of the golf tournament — basically back to the normal noise level,” he told La

Jolla Light. “When one of the folks in our group did an analysis of the data on the Webtrak system (used to track landings and departures), it was very apparent to him that aircraft departing to the north from San Diego International Airport were staying further away from La Jolla Shores than they had previously.” Meeting facilitator Heidi Gantwerk said the question could be posed to the FAA, but pressed McCann,“What’s your concern?” McCann replied (followed by an ovation by the Bird Rock residents present at the meeting), “The concern is that if you can make an adjustment to air traffic control to accommodate a golf tournament at Torrey Pines, why couldn’t the FAA make the same accommodations for the citizens and taxpayers in La Jolla?” The ANAC subcommittee reports to

ANAC. Its function is to host expert discussions about airport noise issues that, when relevant, transcend to the parent board. La Jolla residents obtained their first subcommittee representative after a member resigned and the ANAC board made a recommendation that a 92037 resident be added to address the community’s growing concerns.

FAA changes

Since the announced FAA flight-path changes kicked in March 2, Bird Rock residents reported a “slight” and “circumstantial” decrease in airplane noise, but agreed that the problem is still there. “The perspective is that I’m going to be awakened by airplanes at 6:30 a.m. every single morning until I die,” resident Gillian Ackland told the Light.

At the March meeting, FAA reps showed a series of case studies from the planes flying over different San Diego areas in December 2009, 2014 and 2016, and board members noticed a “shift to the right” over time in northbound departures, which could affect the perception of noise from Bird Rock. Airport Planning & Noise Mitigation program manager Sjohnna Knack showed a case study of the northbound departures since the FAA changes were implemented where a slight shift of the flight paths further offshore could be appreciated.

La Jolla Mesa Drive to get roundabout at Cottontail Lane

Traffic board approves changes to Girard Ave., Coast Blvd. parking configuration

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Residents of La Jolla Mesa Drive prevailed in their efforts to get some traffic calming on their once-quiet street. The group of neighbors originally requested a four-way stop sign in September, citing speedy drivers who cause hazardous conditions, but La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation board (LJT&T) suggested letting the City evaluate the situation and make a recommendation. Having completed the analysis, the City has recommended a traffic circle, aka roundabout, at the intersection of La Jolla Mesa Drive and Cottontail Lane, which came before LJT&T for approval during the board’s March 15 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. A vote to support the installation of the roundabout passed unanimously. La Jolla Mesa Drive, which some use as an alternative to taking La Jolla Boulevard to get into The Village, starts at the top of a hill near La Jolla Scenic Drive and goes all the way down to Pacific Beach with no stop signs in between. Drivers speed up the hill and then even more so going down the hill. There is only a usable sidewalk on one side of the street in some sections, so those who walk to Pacific Beach have to use that side of the road. For some, that means crossing a street subject to speedy drivers and low visibility. “The City said they agree with the need for traffic calming … the traffic on that road and the speeding has been excessive. It hasn’t ever abated despite a stop sign being installed a few blocks up at La Jolla Scenic Drive South,” said Stacey Canan, who is spearheading the effort. “We’re gathering signatures of neighbors closest to the roundabout that show their support (in accordance with City requirements). There are 10 neighbors that are immediately

La Jolla Mesa Drive is often used by commuters as an alternative to taking La Jolla Boulevard to get into The Village. A roundabout proposed for this intersection would ideally slow speedy drivers down. impacted and so far we have signatures from seven of them. We only need one more to satisfy the City’s guidelines of 75 percent.” She added there was “large amounts of support” and could get additional signatures if need be. Resident Tom Sparrow commented, “We’ve lived there for 33 years and we’ve watched the traffic pattern accelerate over the last 10 or 15 years. Now it’s a virtual raceway and police have tried to control it, but they can’t be there enough. The

traffic circle is something we think will really work.” Bob Collins said there is also a pedestrian safety issue. “There are many pedestrians who cross La Jolla Mesa to access the sidewalk that takes them down to Pacific Beach. The street is 100 feet wide, which doesn’t give a pedestrian much time to cross the street before a car going 60 miles per hour poses a threat,” he said. “It’s an unsafe situation.” He alluded that slowing the traffic would give the pedestrians a safer environment for crossing, and if needed, pedestrians

could stop on the roundabout and allow traffic to pass. The San Diego Fire Department still needs to approve the concept, and the design has not been finalized, so it will be up to the City whether to have a pedestrian ingress and egress and other pedestrian safety features such as a crosswalk. Landscaping and maintenance would be determined after the design phase is complete. LJT&T chair Dave Abrams said the City has a fund for the installation of roundabouts, and is willing to use it at this location. A motion to support the City’s recommendation for a roundabout passed unanimously.

In other LJT&T news: ■ Scripps Park parking to be re-drawn: A City request to rearrange the parking adjacent Scripps Park that came before the board, despite some “voodoo math,” gained unanimous support because it would add seven parking spaces. “City staff brought forward the request to reconfigure parking along Coast Boulevard next to Scripps Park. It has diagonal parking now and the City wants to make it head-in (perpendicular) parking. In doing so, the City would gain seven additional spaces,” explained chair Abrams. “It’s always good to get extra spaces if possible and the City believes it’s safe to back up onto the street. I think it’s a good thing.” However, meeting attendee Bill Robbins called the City’s request “voodoo math.” “They are giving you seven spaces but asking for four to be (yellow curbed) commercial loading spaces, which the public cannot use most of the time, so they are actually only giving you three,” he pointed out. Commercial loading spaces are limited to vehicles with a commercial tag on the license plate, and in effect 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday. The rest of the time, the public may use those spaces. In September 2016, the City requested four public parking spaces be converted to commercial loading spaces. At the time, City shoreline park ranger Michael Ruiz explained that he has seen an increase in events that create the need for a

Traffic & Transportation board chair Dave Abrams and trustee Tom Brady listen to parking plans for Waters Catering. commercial loading zone. He added there are more than 50 large events that have taken place or are scheduled this year, and 100 smaller events. The board voted to support the conversion of one parking space into a commercial loading zone with standard restrictions (8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Saturday) for a one-year test run. After a rehashing the September discussion, a motion to approve the Coast Boulevard parking reconfiguration to become head-in parking and include only one commercial space, per the September vote, passed unanimously. ■ Upper Girard parking: A request for a 15-minute limit parking space to front the planned Waters Catering eatery, 7441 Girard Ave., evolved into a larger discussion of upper Girard Avenue parking. Applicant and Waters representative Leslie Morra requested the short-term space. “We have a deli case full of food you can bring home, sandwiches, fine foods, salads. … Most of the businesses around us are salons, schools, etc. where people stay for an hour or more. Our shop, while some people sit down, most of our business is people stopping in to pick up food to take home. A 15-minute spot would be helpful for us. There are 15-minute spots across the street, but we don’t want to encourage jaywalking. We also work with food-delivery

services, so they need a spot to run in, pick up the food and leave,” she said. LJT&T member Nancy Warwick said having Waters come to The Village is a “dream come true” because “there is nothing like it in the Village, it’s healthy, gourmet and fast.” However, she noted the request stirred a thought about the parking layout of upper Girard — and eventually yielded a unique motion. “When you look at the business mix on that street … there are more retail, fitness, educational and salon-type businesses across from where Waters will go, and there are four 15-minute spots on that side of the street. I wouldn’t think they would want that many short-term parking spaces there,” she opined. Several suggested a store might have been in place years ago that would have benefitted from a 15-minute space, but the current ones might be OK with a change in parking limitations. The 15-minute spaces near Pannikin Coffee and La Jolla Elementary School would remain untouched. “I wouldn’t be opposed to going to the stores across the street and asking them if they have issues with the 15-minute parking or whether they would rather have two-hour spaces. If none of those businesses want the 15-minute spaces, we might actually gain two long-term spaces,” Warwick said. LJT&T member Patrick Ryan suggested a “beg, borrow and steal” of other parking spaces. “I would love to take one of the street spaces across the street (and convert it to two-hour) and then designate one in front of your store as 15-minute. There are already a lot of green (15-minute) spaces, and the use from the businesses there is conducive to longer-time spaces.” A motion to recommend the installation of one 15-minute space in front of Waters was approved with the note that should one of the 15-mintue spaces be converted to a two-hour space, a second 15-minute space could be installation in front of Waters. — La Jolla Traffic & Transportation next meets, 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 19 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

And another fun thing about it is that the parents of the alums get a reunion just like the players. It’s a neat thing for the varsity players that they get to meet the varsity players who preceded them,” he said. Most high school games are seven innings, but because of its highly competitive nature, this game went to nine full innings. On offense, Frank said, players like Mike Boggs, Spencer Oliver and Jeff Ponsford were a productive asset.

On defense, Brett Volger stood out, as did alumni pitcher Johnny Agbulos. On hand to throw out the first pitch was Cathy Hutchins, La Jolla High School alumna and current ASB and graduation coordinator. In addition to her school ties, Hutchins’ two sons — also La Jolla High School grads — were selected for the major leagues. Her son Bradley Zimmer was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 2011 MLB June Amateur Draft, before being picked up by the Cleveland Indians; and Kyle Zimmer was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 2012 MLB June Amateur Draft, where he is currently a Minor League pitcher.

To make matters worse, Durkee said she has a health condition that requires medication every day, which affects her skin. “I know what I look like, and nothing they can sell me is going to help. So reminding me of all of that is hurtful. My situation is unique, but it’s not just me hearing this. There are other women who hear such comments several times as they walk down the street.”

Merchants Association response

Durkee reported her complaints to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA) and, she is not the only one to do so. LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune said she has received multiple complaints about high-pressure business practices in recent months, but tasked with supporting local businesses, the association’s hands are tied. “I’ve gotten phone calls and e-mails from people wanting us to shut down these businesses, but what they are doing is ... not illegal,” she said. “Technically, they are not supposed to come out of their doors, but we’re getting reports that they aggressively approach people. I’ve even had it happen to me! They throw samples at me and try to get me in the store,” she said. “It’s frustrating and it’s getting worse.”

Skincare companies with employees standing outside their stores’ doorways are soliciting passerbys and distributing product samples in the Village. inviting people in” is legal. On the topic, San Diego Municipal Code Chapter 5: Public Safety, Morals and Welfare, states: “It is unlawful for any person on the streets, sidewalks or other places open to the public … to aggressively coerce, threaten, hound, harass or intimidate another person for the purpose of soliciting money or goods,” and that a person’s actions are considered to meet this rule when (among other things), “The solicitor persists in following the solicitee closely, and continues to demand money or other thing of value after the solicitee has rejected the solicitation by words or conduct.” Further, the Municipal Code defines “aggressively” as “behaving in a hostile manner,” and “harass” as “to irritate or torment persistently,” and “hound” as “to pursue relentlessly and tenaciously.” Fortune said she reached out to some of the offending store managers, but had difficulty getting through to them. La Jolla Light had a similar experience and could not reach management at two of the stores for

this story. One store manager claimed to have given a supervisor’s phone number to a different Light employee, which was untrue. Fortune said when people call or e-mail their complaints, she advises them to ignore the vendors and just keep walking or say, “no thanks.” One Village business owner, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the tactic poses a “huge problem” and customers are complaining. “One woman told me she has stopped walking along Girard Avenue and she only takes the alleys to go shopping,” she said. “More and more of my customers are not going to shop here if they’re getting harassed. A lot of people, especially elderly people and women, feel like they have to respond, and then they end up in the store. I just wish they knew to just say no or not pause to answer.” Another local business owner, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, said a longtime customer now requests to be let in

Better Business Bureau response

Mike Sedio, vice-president of operations and general counsel for the Better Business Bureau San Diego, Orange and Imperial Counties, recommends the “just say no” method. “The BBB advocates for savvy and empowered consumers who can make decisions at their own pace, and when a company creates an artificial sense of urgency, there is nothing wrong with saying ‘no’ or ‘slow down,’ or saying you need to look them up, research their product and come back,” he said. Of the reported five stores that post employees at the door to distribute samples, only one store manager returned La Jolla Light’s calls to be interviewed about its sales practices. That manager said the store has not received any complaints about sales clerks outside offering samples. “It’s just something we do at all of our stores to market the products better, to offer something more friendly and exciting for the client,” she said. “We try not to be aggressive, we try to be classy. Our reputation is important to us. When it comes to complaints, we will address any or anything that people are not happy about.”

Short-term rentals don’t belong in residential zones, City Attorney opines City Council land-use committee to hold discussion March 24 BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott issued a memo March 15 stating the Municipal Code doesn’t allow short-term vacation rentals in single-family residential zones. “The City has a ‘permissive zoning ordinance,’ ” the memo reads, “This means that any use that is not listed in the City’s zoning ordinance is prohibited. Short-term rentals are not specifically defined, expressly permitted, or listed in any of the zone use categories, including residential or commercial.” The City has been dealing with the short-term vacation rental issue for years, since the explosion of web portals such as AirBNB or VRBO made it easy for owners to rent out their properties for short periods of time. On the two sides of the issue, neighbors demand peace and tranquility in their residential zones and owners claim their right to make ends meet by renting parts (or the whole) of their homes. Shortly after Elliott’s memo was issued, District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry circulated a statement saying she was “pleased” to confirm the short-term rentals “do not fall under any permissible use in the Municipal Code and are therefore prohibited in the City of San Diego.” Both Elliott and Bry were endorsed by Save San Diego Neighborhoods, a local group seeking to

The Save San Diego Neighborhoods alliance presses for more regulation of short-term vacation rentals with signs posted on resident’s yards. tighten the restrictions on vacation rentals. However, the memo admits that the Municipal Code alone doesn’t offer enough grounds to tilt the balance in one way or another. “This office appreciates that the Municipal Code, as currently written, does not allow the reasonable compromise our communities seek; a compromise respectful of those who wish to enjoy the quiet enjoyment of their homes and those who wish to take advantage of the innovation economy,” it reads. The attempt to stop the expansion of short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods by former City Council president Sherri Lightner in October 2016 failed when the City Council voted down her proposal to enforce the Municipal Code as Elliott understands it. The City Council Smart Growth & Land Use Committee will hold a discussion on short-term rentals during their on Friday,

March 24 meeting. “We understand that the Planning Department will present options that provide a regulatory framework for short-term vacation rentals” during that meeting, the memo states. “The memo is a game-changer in a struggle begun by citizens in 2007 to regulate short-term vacation rentals,” reads the Save San Diego Neighborhoods website. “Armed with this memo, as well as dozens of supporting legal opinions, Save San Diego Neighborhoods will be working to protect San Diego neighborhoods by stopping the sale of homes that may be converted to (short-term vacation) hotels.” However, not all the players have the same view. La Jolla Light reached out to La Jolla Vacation Rentals owner Michelle Aarons, whose company shows short of 20 single-family residences available for short-term rental within La Jolla. “We still have a majority of the votes in City Council,

so that’s a good thing,” she said. “They’re going to explore a little further, but I don’t think the City Attorney can change regulations like that, I think it would come down to a vote.” Aarons added that, would the City Council vote to regulate the short-term vacation rentals, lawsuit actions would be forthcoming. “We will play by ear and hope this doesn’t amount to anything like that,” she said. Bry’s rhetoric on short-term rentals has been consistent since the start of the District 1 campaign in differencing owners who rent rooms in their own homes, which she is fine with, from entire homes rented out in residential neighborhoods, which she opposes. Elliott’s memo hints at a three-way solution coming from City planning staff. “It is our understanding that there are three options that would regulate short-term vacation rentals of whole homes and three options that would regulate short-term vacation rentals through home-sharing,” it reads. Bry, who is not a member of the Smart Growth & Land Use committee, said at a previous public meeting that her hope was the issue would come out of the committee without recommendation for full discussion in front of City Council. “I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Council to determine the best way to allow property owners to participate in home sharing, while also enforcing existing City Code to protect residential communities from the proliferation of mini-hotels,” her statement reads.

Got a family photo to share in the next La Jolla Library ‘One Subject’ show? The deadline for submissions is April 14.

Last call for photos to La Jolla library’s ‘FAMILIES’ art exhibit The La Jolla Library Art Gallery committee issued a “Last Call!” for submissions to its next One Subject exhibit, “FAMILIES: A Juried Show of Photographs.” The deadline for entries is Friday, April 14. Entry forms can be found at the library, 7555 Draper Ave., or online at lajollalibrary.org/your-library/art-exhibits/ The committee challenges photographers to take the subject “families” and create an image that represents that idea within their own personal context. Photographers may submit up to five images for the show, black-and-white or color — no smaller than 8 x 10 inches or larger than 30 x 40 inches. All accepted photos must be framed simply in black or wood frames. Questions? E-mail pjasper@sbcglobal.net

University of California regents proposed to cap the enrollment of out-of-state undergraduate students to 20 percent, except in seven of its campuses, including UC San Diego. Non-resident students numbered 34,673 in fall 2016 (that’s 16.5 percent of the system’s 210,170 undergraduates), but colleges like UCSD are at 22.8 percent non-resident undergraduates. Some state legislators have been trying to cap the number of out-of-state students admitted in the UC public-funded system to ensure the enrollment of California undergrads, but other voices allege that non-residents bring extra funds to the UCs, which help the university improve its quality.

Scripps Institution uncovers fault system off La Jolla coast Offshore, from San Diego Bay to Seal Beach in Orange County (and then inland through Los Angeles coast), a newly-discovered fault line could create earthquakes up to a 7.3 magnitude.

Construction begins on argued-against Shores home A La Jolla Shores home-build project that drew mixed reviews in 2014, moved forward with construction in mid-March. The 1,624-square foot single family dwelling at 8374 Paseo Del Ocaso, has been demolished to make way for a 3,860-square foot single family dwelling unit with an attached 415-square foot garage. According to a City of San Diego report on the project, on Nov. 18, 2014, the La Jolla Shores Advisory Board voted 4-0-0 to recommend denial of the project based on bulk and scale, and setback concerns. After the meeting, the applicant increased the front setback, reduced the overall floor area and added elements to break up the bulk and scale. The revised design was presented to the La Jolla Community Planning Association, and on Feb. 5, 2015, the group voted 12-0-2 to recommend approval of the project. Janie Emerson, who sits on multiple boards and reviewed the project in 2014, told La Jolla Light, via e-mail, “This project in the current form should have gone to La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance committee, La Jolla

Shores Permit Review Committee and then to La Jolla Community Planning Association. … To my knowledge that never happened.” The City report goes on to state that the revised project design provides articulation along the facades, architectural projections, and uses stucco, textured limestone, wooden gray marble veneer, mahogany wood veneer and various green wall/screens on the exterior of the building, in muted earth-tone colors … consistent with what has been generally used in the surrounding development. The proposed setbacks, in addition to the offsetting planes, variation in building materials help break up the perceived bulk and scale and are an adequate transition between the proposed development and the existing one- and two-story single family dwelling units, and implement the community character recommendations within the La Jolla Community Plan.

Kyoto University office coming to UC San Diego Kyoto University of Japan, one of the University of California San Diego’s international partners, will open an office in San Diego in early April, both campuses have announced. The Kyoto University Office will be located in the Sunroad Corporate Center, Suite 200, at the Eastgate Mall near UC San Diego. When UCSD opened an office in the heart of Tokyo in 2016, Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla said: “By opening this new office, UC San Diego is demonstrating our commitment to strengthen our global partnerships and advance the frontiers of knowledge in order to benefit our planet and humankind.” ■ Have a La Jolla news tip?

Q&A

JAWAD BISHARAT

LA JOLLA’S NEIGHBORHOOD INSURANCE AGENT FOR 19 YEARS AND COUNTING!

Q: What is the value of using a qualified local insurance agent? A: Many people will shop online for insurance but it’s important to speak with an

agent before buying or making changes. You want to be careful and ensure you are protecting your assets and covering your bases. As an experienced agent based in La Jolla for nearly 19 years, I am very familiar with the landscape of the area. My knowledgeable team will sit down and review your current policy, explain the various plans available, and help you determine the best coverage for your situation. I have found that most people don’t realize what they could lose over and above their liability limits—they can garnish your wages and come after your assets. We will help you look at your insurance coverage in all areas. In addition to auto and home insurance, we will go over the options for an umbrella policy and life insurance to ensure your assets are protected in the unfortunate occurrence of a spouse’s death. We do our best to make sure you are properly protected.

“I was shocked how much I was overpaying f o r m y h o m e o w n e r ’s i n s u r a n c e . J a w a d w a s a b l e to lower my deductible and save me over $4,000 a y e a r. I t w a s d e f i n i t e l y w o r t h t h e t i m e t o v i s i t h i s o ff i c e . ” — S e r g i o G a m i z , c l i e n t Q: What should I be aware regarding my automobile policy? A: Auto insurance rates are currently going up. Part of this is attributed to

distracted drivers incurring more accidents because they are emailing or texting while driving. It’s always a good idea to call your insurance agent to discuss ways to bring your rate down while not sacrificing important coverage. We can discuss your policy and help you understand your policy limits, especially if you have teenage drivers.

Q: How do I know if I have enough insurance to cover my high-value home? A: It’s important to purchase insurance that will protect your home as well as

personal property such as jewelry, art, wine and other collectibles. We’ll help you determine the amount of coverage you need and fill any gaps. With the brush exposure in La Jolla, many insurance companies charge high premiums. It is important to check rates; I have helped many La Jolla residents save thousands of dollars on their home premiums.

Q: What is an umbrella policy and how will it help me? A: An umbrella policy is an extension of liability over and above your underlying

policy limits. For example, if you have an insurance policy with $300,000 of homeowner’s insurance but are sued for $1 million, you’ll want to know who picks up the difference. An umbrella policy will extend past the liability limits of your home and auto policy as well as all your underlying coverages. It’s an incredibly important policy to help protect your assets.

Q: Does it cost anything to have you look over my policy? A: There is no cost to use an agent. Our qualified professionals pride themselves

on providing personalized service. If you have a question or want to run something by us, we are available to talk to over the phone or in person. You can rest assured that we are here to help make the insurance world simple and straightforward. Overall, I highly recommend having an agent review your policies to determine your coverages. It will give you peace of mind so when something unexpected occurs, you can sleep well at night knowing that you’re going to be properly covered.

FROM AIRCRAFT NOISE, A3 people’s experiences on the ground. “I can’t understand why there’s a discrepancy between what you’re showing us and what we’re experiencing,” said ANAC member Sandra Valone, referring to the slides FAA representative Rob Cook brought to the meeting. McCann reported he had verified this scenario himself when he tried to find a Southwest plane a Bird Rock neighbor claimed had flown over her house. “I looked at Webtrack 20 minutes past and minus that time, and there was no data anywhere around that time. The odd thing was, if you watched, the noise sensors were getting illuminated as if a ghost airplane was flying out of the airport,” he added. Knack said the airport is trying to improve its tracking system, and explained that those “ghost airplanes,” at times, are military operations whose information gets filtered out of the feed. “We are working to switch to System Wide Information Management . We’re working to make improvements, but we are also hoping to make improvements on how we receive noise complaints,” she said.

Noise complaints

“I have 1,218 noise complaints in my inbox right now,” Knack reported. “75 percent of them are from the same three people, which I have no problem with, but the concern is that the motive is mostly ‘low plane over my home.’ I can’t do much with

How to best report an airplane noise complaint: ■ Airplane noise complaints can be submitted via webtrak5.bksv.com/san, san.org/Airport-Noise/Flight-Tracking (click on ‘Submit Noise Concern’), sending an e-mail to airnoise@san.org or calling (619) 400-2799 (English), (619) 400-2797 (Spanish). ■ In your e-mail or call, include the following information to maximize the complaint potential: Name and last name, address, disturbance time, aircraft type (jet, propeller or other), operation type (arrival or departure), flight number (if known), pictures (if taken). that (in terms of case studies or analysis), so what we’re looking to do is create a system much like the 15 other major airports we’re looking at.” She explained the new noise complaint system will avoid the e-mail complaints and focus on a web-based system where citizens will have to include information such as whether the source of the noise is a landing or departure, a jet or propeller. “It’s not a perfect science, we’re cleaning our data, and the time we spend with the complaints doesn’t leave us the time to do the analysis we want to do,” she concluded.

But that’s not all. La Jolla Light canvassed The Village the night of March 16 and found that all the acorn lamppost lights on Wall Street and Herschel Avenue (plus some on Ivanhoe and Fay Avenues) aren’t working either. Erika Torri, executive director of the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, said at the LJT&T meeting that she noticed the acorn lights on Wall Street “have been out for a very long time. We’ve called the City about it, but haven’t seen any (repairs) yet.” At the same meeting, La Jolla Shores resident Nancy Lo petitioned for street lights for Ardath Road, which runs parallel to La Jolla Parkway. “There is a quarter mile where there are no light (fixtures). If you head east, our street has one light fixture. If you head west, there are no lights until you get to Hidden Valley and Ardath Road,” she said. Lo added that she used to go for walks from her house to the beach, but doesn’t anymore because, “in the evening it’s very scary to walk around ... a lot of people walk to the beach for sunset, but walking back (in the dark) is scary.” LJT&T board chair Dave Abrams forwarded Lo’s request to the City.

LJT&T board member Brian Early said the acorn light wiring in La Jolla Shores was installed in the 1930s, and suggested the cable work might be “running thin.” According to the City’s website, San Diego has more than 40,000 street lights in operation and there are two types: Induction Lights, which emit a white light; and Low Pressure Sodium (LPS), which emit a monochromatic yellow light, aka “acorn lights.” The newer Induction Lights largely remain running in different areas of La Jolla. Preisendorfer, who in the past worked with former District 1 Council member Sherri Lightner to repair street lights when they went out, said her efforts got “a few” fixed, but “now there are so many out, I think it’s

more than a light-bulb issue.” The Light contacted the City for background information. Public information officer Anthony Santacroce said the City is aware of the outage along La Jolla Shores and the lights were “energized” last week, but suffered another outage over the weekend. “These lights are ‘series circuit’ lights. Imagine a string of old Christmas lights. When one goes out, the entire strand goes out,” he explained. Santacroce added that 11 circuits malfunctioned across the City. “Troubleshooting circuits can be a time-consuming process that involves staff manually checking the wiring for each light until the damage/short is located so the proper repairs can be made,” he said. “City crews are working diligently to resolve the core circuitry issues brought on by an incredibly wet season so far. We are aware of the other lights out in the surrounding area — Wall Street, Herschel Avenue, etc. — and will be working on them shortly.” Santacroce said recent rains and flooding caused many of the “series” circuits throughout the City to stop working, but in La Jolla Shores, “it’s possible that construction in the area might have affected circuit infrastructure — but that’s just speculation.” Preisendorfer is certain that, whatever the cause, the outage in The Shores is a public safety issue. “With all the damage to our streets from construction, and the potholes (caused by rains), we’ve got a dangerous situation here,” she said. The Light has received an e-mail from a San Diego Gas & Electric liaison requesting information about the street names and cross streets involved with the malfunctioning street lights. A statement from District 1 Council member Barbara Bry’s office said, “Our La Jolla representative is out in the community, he’s aware of the issue and in communication with local merchants. We’re going to continue to monitor it.” — Ashley Mackin and Susan DeMaggio contributed to this report.

Lifeguard union says dispatch changes delay rescues BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN On Jan. 21, a woman swept up by the current was rescued by a citizen at La Jolla Children’s Pool (aka Casa Beach). Lifeguard Sgt. Ed Harris, who is a steward for the Teamsters 911 union, said lifeguards were made aware of the emergency call with a 5-minute delay. “We couldn’t see it from lifeguard tower because of high tide,” he explained. In his opinion, the delay was caused by changes in how emergency calls are dispatched at the Fire Department. “Historically, all water rescues would come straight to the lifeguards, also all medical aids within a few blocks to the beach. The changes add a step, and that’s what’s delaying us,” he said. However, San Diego Fire Department Chief Brian Fennessy said

in a press conference March 15 the changes in the dispatch service were directed to improve the system. “Lifeguard calls often go unanswered because they don’t have training or technology to respond to more than one call at once,” he explained, adding that as a result no calls went unanswered during extreme weather events this year. Harris said the lifeguards are starting to think of separating from the Fire Department. “San Diego has a so many lifeguards and we make 9,000 water rescues per year. Most of us believe that the city has to start looking at separating us,” he reported. La Jolla Light will continue to follow this story and report any updates.

High visibility crosswalk, pedestrian 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.

Readers call-out dangerous intersections After the March 16 story, “Two La Jolla-area intersections cited among City of San Diego’s most dangerous,” La Jolla Light received e-mails from several concerned residents reporting additional dangerous road crossings throughout the 92037 ZIP code.

Torrey Pines Road and Girard Avenue

■ “The intersection at Girard and Torrey Pines is treacherous for those crossing to the north across the street. There is a ‘No Turn on Red’ sign, but drivers will routinely run that light just as pedestrians are stepping into the crosswalk. Maybe the ‘No Turn on Red’ sign should be repositioned. It is somewhat lost up there right now, and people either aren’t seeing it or are ignoring it to the peril of pedestrians. I’ve experienced two or three close calls, and I’ve just been in town nine months.” John C. O’Neal ■ “I’ve had several close calls crossing Torrey Pines Road where it intersects with Girard Avenue. There is ‘No Right on Red’ sign but cars very regularly don’t see it and zoom right around that corner and I’ve seen several near misses. Suggestion: I’ve seen lit-up ‘No Right on Red’ signs that switch on with the red light and that intersection certainly needs one or at least a red arrow.” John Iversen

Torrey Pines Road and Hillside Drive

“Thank you for your article. I consider a very critical need exists to protect pedestrians attempting to cross Torrey Pines Road at the foot of Hillside Drive. There is a bus stop on Torrey Pines Road just east of Hillside Drive. People working in the homes north of Torrey Pines Road who ride the bus from downtown get off at that intersection and try to walk across the street. The average traffic speed is over 35 miles an hour. It is a four-lane road, without a protected center island, and it is a treacherous undertaking to cross.” Tom Fetter

Genter Street and La Jolla Boulevard

“I have noticed that at the zebra crossing to the west side of La Jolla Boulevard from Genter Street (at the 7200 block) more and more cars do not stop at all, even when there are pedestrians

actually standing on the zebra crossing. As the La Jolla Elementary School is at the top of Genter Street (on Upper Girard) I am concerned that it is only a matter of time before there will be a pedestrian injured in the crossway.” Anne M. Ring

Fay Avenue (at Vons Market)

“At the exit from Vons Market onto Fay Avenue (there is no pedestrian crossing) to the side where Bernini’s Restaurant is located. Many, many shoppers can be seen walking across between cars coming at them in both directions. Again, I am concerned it is only a matter of time before a pedestrian is injured.” Anne M. Ring

Prospect Place at Cave

“I live on Prospect Place. At the crossing where Prospect meets Cave Street and Silverado, there is a crosswalk painted there. But cars are coming around a curve and the crosswalk is not completely visible from all directions. The cars are often speeding up to complete their turns before the next car comes around the curve and aren’t looking for pedestrians. I feel at risk every time I cross there.” Elaine Galinson

Costebelle Drive at Esterel

“I am an 80-year-old woman who has to back out of my driveway into the intersection in order to leave my house. There is a stop sign at the intersection of Costebelle Drive and Esterel Drive, a ‘T’ intersection in front of my driveway. On so many occasions I have been almost crashed into by cars that just blow through the stop sign. Can you please ask the police to make the sign brighter or bigger or do something before I am severely injured due to this hazardous situation.” Arlene Barry

Kudos to animal control for off-leash ticketing Your recent article in the March 16 La Jolla Light about the problem of off-leash dogs and the impending enforcement operations by Animal Control put a smile on my face. Go to any park in San Diego (especially Kate Sessions Park) and you’ll see off-leash dogs running wild. They run up to children, sometimes knocking them over; they put their snouts into your food; they urinate on the grass; and, of course, they defecate wherever they please. This is what dogs naturally do. It’s not, strictly

speaking, a problem. The problem is with irresponsible and presumptuous dog owners. They know the law requires a leash at all times in parks such as Calumet Park, yet they defiantly ignore such postings. These dog owners also waltz into stores like CVS and Vons without even batting an eye. The anthropomorphization of dogs is so pervasive that owners aren’t even aware of its occurrence. You see dogs in strollers, you see dogs “shopping,” you see doggy manicures and massages, and you see doggy hotels. It has gotten so bad that dog-owners purchase unauthorized vests from the Internet to pass their dogs off as service dogs. How outrageous. Why do dog owners consider themselves exempt from laws that are meant to protect everyone? Shocking as it may sound, there are good, safety-related reasons for the City’s leash laws. Dog owners should take responsibility by, first and foremost, leashing their dogs, and second, they should clean up after them every time. You know, Basic Ownership 101. I wholeheartedly support the efforts of Animal Control to instill some respect for the law. Lord knows many dog owners need it. Bill Smith

It’s time to curb your pets ... it’s the law Dog owners: Please stop bringing your Fido into the post office, the grocery store, the department store, the pizzeria, the bank and the hair salon, it’s against the law. And when you do stroll around The Village with Fido, make sure he’s on a leash. That’s the law, too. And for many good reasons. Adam Brightmore

Municipal codes should apply to the City, too I read the article in the March 10 issue about the fact the City of San Diego’s Development Services Department has cited the Shorehouse Kitchen for the improvements it installed in the City’s right-of-way outside the restaurant. I find this highly ironic for a couple of reasons. First, this is an improvement to the City’s property. Seeing as the City cannot adequately maintain our streets, sidewalks and curbs in La Jolla Shores and La Jolla overall, it is nice to see some part of the City infrastructure improved. The rest of it is in a steady decline as anyone who has walked La Jolla Shores Streets can attest

www.lajollalight.com

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 23, 2017 - PAGE A25

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) to. Secondly, the Development Services Department rarely cites code violations for homes around our neighborhood in spite of violations. Walk around the corner from Shorehouse Kitchen to 8010 La Jolla Shores Drive. The weeds grow chest high; the trash cans sit for weeks on the curb; and an area of the sidewalk is unpassable, and has been for months. Although we need municipal codes, perhaps the City should live up to its own strict codes for its own property before citing property owners for improving the City’s property. What a complete double standard. Ted Levis CCIM, Emerald Properties

Fake news abounds about La Jolla’s seals and sea lions 1. The Children’s Pool is closed until May 15. No seals encounter people there, so the ranger is employed elsewhere. Lifeguards have no jurisdiction with seals, so must stay out of it. Angry citizens can best call the City’s Park & Recreation office to complain. 2. Seals with pups are seen meeting people on a different unprotected beach. Some seals choose a beach with people on it, avoiding

the artificial Children’s Pool pen. I have seen mother seals and pups push people back to claim a spot. Sea lions learned the same fearlessness at The Cove. 3. The City did not close all the beaches seals go to, expecting them to retreat to their “sanctuary.” The Coastal Commission was told La Jolla Children’s Pool was the only beach in Southern California where seals go, and a unique valuable tourist attraction. Nope. 4. San Diego is done spending resources on beach animals in La Jolla. Tourist revenue does not cover expenses. The City did not disperse the seals a decade ago because it knew the Feds were not being honest about the difficulties. Park & Rec knows making them leave a good spot would be an expensive endless fool’s errand. 5. It’s too late. Best to just let people and seals go where they want. Fearless seals mixed with people for 20 years, by choice,

BABY BOOMERS’ MUSICAL PREMIERES

‘The Geeze and Me’ brings humor, honesty to aging BY ASHLEY MACKIN When La Jolla residents Hedges Capers and Nancy Locke Capers were researching their play, “The Geeze and Me” (matinee and evenings March 31-April 29 at the Tenth Avenue Arts Center, 930 Tenth Ave., downtown San Diego) the husband, of the husband-and-wife duo, compiled an in-depth definition of the word “old.” The condition Hedges Capers came up with was “showing the effects of time or use; worn or aged; diminished in value or usefulness; wearied; enfeebled; tiresome; boring; showing the effects of wear; ancient; spent; senile; wasted; over the hill; past one’s prime; broken down; obsolete; useless or wanted; no longer used by anyone; done.” Hoping to disprove the negative aspects of this notion, while providing an honest look at aging in a humorous and musically oriented way, “The Geeze and Me” looks at what people can expect about getting older, and what they don’t have to accept. With three replaced knees and a replaced hip between them — in addition to extensive research, personal experience, and a few decades in the entertainment industry — the two bring varying levels of expertise to the production. “We think we’ve taken as many of the issues those in the Baby Boomer generation are facing that we can consider, and approach them both as seriously and humorously as we can,” Hedges Capers said. “We look at money, homelessness (reportedly one of the No. 1 fears facing women over age 50), mobility, finance, retirement, the sense women get about being invisible, sex and more, and we do it with songs.” Both Capers have a background in the music and theater industries. He was a singer/songwriter in the 1960s and half of the “socially conscious folk rock” duo Hedge & Donna; she is an actress of film, commercials (including one for Jane Fonda workout wear) and theater, and a screenwriter. Although retired from the music-making businesses, Hedges Capers said he would still

ASHLEY MACKIN

‘The Geeze and Me’ playwrights are La Jollans, Hedges Capers and Nancy Locke Capers write songs when inspiration struck or as gifts for loved ones. One day, when he was at the piano writing songs for the show, he physically couldn’t sing and originally chocked it up to, well, getting older. “I had no breath control, no range, I couldn’t maintain a note,” he explained. “I went to UCSD and they checked me out and said, ‘We know why you can’t sing, and we’re surprised you can even speak.’ I had a growth on one of my vocal cords, so when I tried to sing, my vocal cords couldn’t come together and air would slip through. They said it had to come off now, so I had it removed and after 30 days of silence, I could sing again.” He added, “Singing was all I had done ... it was all I wanted to do. And I was that close to accepting that these things happen and that a part of my life that I loved was gone. The crazy part for me, was that there was a part of me totally willing to accept that. But when all was said and done, I took a step back and looked at what is it we’re willing to accept about the aging process.” The pair got in touch with the UCSD Center for Healthy Aging (script consultants

for the play) and with UCSD’s research and blessing, together co-wrote “The Geeze and Me.” After several years of writing, re-writing and hosting staged readings of the play to various audiences, the two were ready to produce the show in San Diego. In addition to writing roles, Nancy Locke Capers directs and produces, and Hedges Capers wrote the music and stars in the production as John, a “soap-boxer” and beat poet. The show features projections as a way to set the stage, and crucial scenes take place at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters. One of which, Hedges Capers said, makes fellow actors cry in rehearsal. “After a Silver Sneakers senior exercise class, two people meet for coffee. He needs a knee replacement and she used to be a dancer. She arrives in a walker and explains that she fell going down the stairs … she doesn’t need the walker, but feels unstable without it. She lost her confidence,” he said. “As they leave Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, she’s on a walker and he is wobbling because of his knees, and some kids on skateboards make fun of them and sing a song (that goes) ‘Old folks, they can’t do nothing … they

ain’t good for much at all …’ ” The old man returns, in song, suggesting their time will come. “In the course of things, the old woman’s feelings are hurt, but she wants to prove them wrong and gets her confidence up, folds her walker and starts to dance. Toward the end, she stumbles slightly, and goes back to get her walker,” Hedges Capers continued. “When we rehearsed that scene, even though they knew what was going to happen, nine of the other cast members started to cry.” “It’s very moving,” adds Nancy Locke Capers. The cast is comprised of 13 people of various ages, but the production staff is on the silver end of the spectrum. There are four producers in the show, their average age is 73; there are six members of the band, their average age is 69; there are three screen hangers, with an average age of 71; the four-member promotion team has an average age of 67; the set and design builders are “too old to mention.” “It’s a really talented cast and crew,” Nancy Locke Capers said, adding they help bring the couple’s vision to life. “We hope the poignancy of the play moves audiences and I hope they laugh a lot and walk away humming at least one of the songs they enjoyed,” she said. Added Hedges Capers, “I hope people will leave asking, ‘Have I lived the life I want to live?’ If so, terrific, keep doing what you’re doing. But if there is something left that you want to do — you’re still here, do it!” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Geeze and Me” is on stage 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays March 31-April 29 (previews March 29-30) at Tenth Avenue Arts Center, 930 10th Ave., downtown San Diego.

It’s Ligne Roset & Poliform for European style in La Jolla BY DAVID L. CODDON Italy meets France in La Jolla. That could well be the motto of Ligne Roset & Poliform La Jolla on Girard Avenue. But CEO Amir Kazerani would probably prefer calling his residential- and commercial-furnishing business a “one-stop shop.” “They’re both European,” Kazerani said. “Poliform is Italian and Ligne Roset is a French company. What makes them special is that both brands offer full service, meaning if you go with either one you can buy closets, you can buy carpet, you can buy furniture and more.” What also distinguishes these two lines is “the quality of the brand and the design,” Kazerani explained. “Everything these two brands carry is designed by an iconic designer from their region or from somewhere else in Europe. Every year they come up with new collections. Ligne Roset comes out with a new collection each January in Cologne, Germany. Poliform? They come out in April in Milan. These two brands just keep updating.” Both Ligne Roset and Poliform are family-owned businesses, the latter in existence since the late 1800s. Poliform is a relatively new brand, having been founded “only” 61 years ago, in 1946.

COURTESY

The Ligne Roset brand focuses on furniture, while for Poliform it’s closets and the kitchen. The Ligne Roset brand,Kazerani said, focuses on furniture, while for Poliform it is closets and the kitchen. Ligne Roset is “more affordable for a median household, but Poliform is definitely for the niche market,” he added. “That’s one of the reasons we want to carry these two lines in Southern California — we capture the two different markets.”

BIRD ROCK COASTAL | 337 BANDERA STREET

The La Jolla showroom is staffed by two designers (one for residential, the other for commercial), and an architect is also available for clients who want to plan their closets, kitchens or other spaces in the home. Kazerani’s business offers master planning, which includes interior design and architectural design services.

Customers at Ligne Roset & Poliform La Jolla come in two varieties: those who browse and buy on site, and those who come in with a plan (or want help with formulating one) for their home, multi-unit residential property or business. “You can do both,” Kazerani explained. “You can come to this showroom and buy pieces as shown or you can order pieces and customize any item that both companies offer.” The furniture you’ll see in the showroom is a European-crafted triumph of form and function all in one. These two brands “care about design,” Kazerani emphasized. “They’re beautiful, but they’re also functional and comfortable. This is their (Ligne Roset’s and Poliform’s) philosophy, their vision, and the reason that I decided to carry these two designs in La Jolla. People don’t have to travel to LA.” In fact, it’s been the other way around, Kazerani has discovered. Perhaps it’s the lure of La Jolla? “I have clients,” he said, “from San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles.” Ligne Roset & Poliform La Jolla, 7726 Girard Ave., La Jolla.

Tiffany Torgan Philips, Owner Harcourts Prestige Properties

858-459-5478 7938 Ivanhoe Ave., Suite A

Tiffany Torgan Philips is the Business Owner of internationally based Harcourts Prestige Properties of La Jolla, which opened in January, 2012. A highly successful real estate professional for 25+ years, she has developed extensive knowledge and expertise in all aspects of the real estate industry. Over the course of her career, Tiffany has closed deals on more than 1,000 homes and has worked closely with hundreds of families, diligently assisting them with the details of their transactions. What is your background and what inspired you to get into Real Estate? I earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Texas A&M University and got a job with the #1 Dallas builder, Centex Homes. Working for a builder onsite, I was able to learn aspects of new construction, architecture, and blueprints, as well as loan structure and neighborhood development. I was able to sell 100 homes a year starting at age 25. Needless to say, I fell in love with the industry. How did you build your career? I became an independent REALTOR® with REMAX Plano and figured out an effective strategy to compete with the established agents… I decided to embrace the concept of the internet, which was new at the time, and started my own website for marketing properties. At the time, there were very few REALTORS® using the internet to effectively sell residential properties, and it led to over $25 million in sales my first year. What brought you to La Jolla? A girlfriend wanted to move to La Jolla in 1999, and luckily I was up for an adventure. I didn’t know anyone when I moved to La Jolla and saw it as an opportunity to start my career over. I was excited and confident about the opportunity. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and a can-do attitude and invested in purchasing a residence within a year of being in La Jolla. I am very grateful to have developed so many great friendships here. It has been such a pleasure to be able to live and work here as well as work all over San Diego County. Why did you choose Harcourts? Harcourts is an amazing international company, based in Australia. I was impressed with their professionalism and stunning marketing support, and their technology is stellar. Using my entrepreneurial spirit (and a dash of craziness), I decided to take the risk and purchased the first Harcourts franchise in San Diego in September, 2011. No one knew who Harcourts was unless they had traveled extensively overseas, so a lot of naysayers in our local real estate industry were concerned if I could pull it off. But I was confident in myself and with the one of the oldest real estate companies in the world. I am not one to quit and with people saying I couldn’t make it happen, it encouraged me to work even harder. We are now in our 6th year in business in an extremely competitive marketplace. Now, one of the best things that sets us apart with Harcourts is the newly introduced in-house Auction Platform. It is a brilliant “accelerated sales” process for non-distressed properties and a win-win for agents, buyers and sellers alike. Of course we also conduct traditional sales, but the auctions provide a good option here at Harcourts. What is your favorite part of owning the brokerage? It has afforded me the opportunity to give back. We have supported local charities such as Epilepsy Foundation, Promises 2 Kids, Helen Woodward, A Bridge for Kids, Canine Companions, and Challenged Athletes Foundation. We conduct local La Jolla business mixers, called Barcourts at Harcourts, to raise money and awareness for the charities. It really feels great to be part of something bigger and to support the La Jolla community. Another great part is getting to work with our agents… we have a very talented crew! What’s next for you, Tiffany? We have a new App available that will be an amazing tool for our clients and we’re very excited to start working with it. In the coming year, I also want to emphasize our strength as an international company. I don’t think people realize how big Harcourts is in the international marketplace. Whether it’s on auction or via traditional sale, we have the power to connect with a huge international network, and those who list with us receive a distinct advantage. It’s a great combination along with being connected locally in La Jolla. We have much to be excited about! An experienced and effective marketer, Tiffany has significantly raised the profile of Prestige Properties Realty by appearing as San Diego’s real estate expert on (HGTV) Home & Garden TV’s, “What you get for the Money” program and she is currently in the works for appearing on a similar show this year. She has also been featured and interviewed on local market conditions on several local news channels such as San Diego’s KUSI Channel 9, KGTV Channel 10, and KFMB Channel 8.

After graduating, she accomplished her goal of becoming an Aveda™ master stylist and owning her own salon. However, she never let go of the knowledge and interest she gained from working at the gym. Thus, with health and fitness a constant theme in the Murphy household, Kera and Brett dreamed of owning an upscale health club.

CIF updates and La Jolla coach hired by Francis Parker School Bishop’s School basketball loses in CIF regional semis The Bishop’s School girls basketball team cleared the first round of CIF state basketball championships March 10, when they defeated Harvard-Westlake 63-60. Going into the match, Harvard-Westlake was ranked 12 nationally and 5 in the state against Bishop’s 107 national placement and 21 in the state. But on March 14, the lady Knights could not overcome the Clovis West Golden Eagles from Fresno — a team with a National rank of 4 and State rank of 2 — and lost 73-32, concluding their successful season. Coach Marlon Wells said he was “happy” about the season overall. “The girls over-achieved and worked really hard to get that far. If anyone told us at the beginning of the season we would make it to the CIF State girls basketball championships, I would have said no way, but the girls believed in each other and believed in the coaches and went far,” he said. He added that next season will be one of rebuilding. “We lose three seniors — Alessandra Aguirre, Linette Pan and Destiny Littleton — and we’ll have no seniors on next year’s team. But hopefully we can capitalize on this year with the experience the girls were able to get and grow from there.”

Coach Morrison out, Coach Roach in for La Jolla football Almost exactly one year to the day since he took the helm of La Jolla High School’s football program, it was announced that coach Matt Morrison was hired at his alma mater, Francis Parker School. According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, Morrison was a two-time, all-league quarterback at Parker and coached with his father for seven years. At La Jolla High, Morrison guided the team to a 7-5 record with the Vikings advancing to the quarterfinals of the section playoffs. Morrison’s replacement will be Tyler Roach, who was the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach for three years at La Jolla High School before his most recent job coaching at La Jolla Country Day School. According to school reports, Roach led the La Jolla Country Day School Torrey football defense to a CIF Division Four title, Southern California Regional Championship.

SECTION B

Northern Division welcomes new captain, lieutenant Tina Williams, Erwin Manansala advocate for community-aided policing BY ASHLEY MACKIN or San Diego Police Department Captain Tina Williams and Lt. Erwin Manansala, being posted at Northern Division is a homecoming. Each was promoted to their posts on Feb. 11, but both were acting in their positions beforehand. And both already have experience at the 4275 Eastgate Mall police station, which oversees La Jolla, Bay Ho, Clairemont Mesa, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, University City and more. Williams said she became a police officer in 1994 and — in the course of her extensive rotation throughout the department — was stationed at Northern Division as a lieutenant for the inland areas. Her resume includes time in Southeastern, Eastern and Northern Divisions; with the gang units and SWAT teams; and positions such as patrol officer, sergeant, supervisor, detective sergeant, commanding officer and finally, captain. “Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a police officer,” the San Diego native said. “There wasn’t one particular moment that stands out. I just knew from a young age I wanted to be in law enforcement. “I’m the first one in my family to serve, so it’s not like it was a family tradition. The biggest thing is that I’m helping the community and doing something different every day.” SEE POLICE, B3

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Meet retired Village of La Jolla barber Dean Blundell BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series shines a spotlight on notable locals. Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar, friendly faces to bring you their stories. If you know someone you’d like us to profile, send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call (858) 875-5950.

ean Blundell cut La Jolla men’s hair for 50 years, first working for a third party, and since 1978, out of his own Village Barber Shop at 7517 Fay Ave. From Gregory Peck and John Wayne to generations of locals, men have sat in his chair to have their hair trimmed and spill their thoughts and feelings, which led to solid bonds of respect and friendship. Blundell retired earlier this year. MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Before retiring earlier this year, Dean Bundell cut hair for 40 years at his Village Barber Shop on Fay Avenue.

Where are you from?

“I grew up in San Diego, in Point Loma, but I’ve been working in La Jolla for 50 years. Now, I live in Santee.”

What brought you to La Jolla?

“I worked in Point Loma for five years, and then I saw an ad for a barber job in the paper, answered it, and I’ve been here ever since. At first, I worked by what used to be John’s Waffle shop for 12 years, then I started my own.”

How did you learn your craft?

“After high school, I went to barber college for one year, and then I started working right after that.”

Did you have many loyal clients?

“Yes, I had a handful of clients whose hair I’ve cut for over 40 years. Some were not even married (when I started cutting their hair) and now they have grandchildren. So, it’s been a while. And I really appreciate all the nice people I’ve met over the years.” SEE DEAN BLUNDELL, B20

La Jolla Cultural Partners

For Manansala, who became a police officer in 2005, his first year on the job was at Northern Division, patrolling the beaches. He was then transferred to Central Division for six years. After that, he returned to Northern Division to patrol the inland communities, ran the Mid-City Crime Suppression Team, worked on investigations with the Internal Affairs Unit, and did a tour with the SWAT unit and Emergency Negotiations team. But when he was promoted to lieutenant last year, he again found himself back at Northern Division. “Being a police officer was never something I thought about,” Manansala explained. “In college I was thinking about law school, but I was in the Marine Corps at the time. When the Towers fell (during the 9/11 terrorist attacks) we were called to active duty, so I was going to school at night while on duty in the Marines. “So my grades weren’t exactly top tier to get into law school and I was debating what kind of career path I would take. A friend of mine’s father was a San Diego police officer and she told me she could see me as an officer, so I talked to her dad and took the test, went through the whole process. I got hired and fell in love with it.” Now that they are here, both Williams and Manansala said they are ready to keep the “complex” areas of Northern Division safe, and are both advocates of community-assisted policing. “In Northern Division, we have both inland communities and coastal communities and the inland residents have different concerns than the coastal residents,” Williams said. “In the coastal areas, there’s an influx of tourists and part-time residents over the summer and holiday weekends. Any time you have that many people in one area, you’re going to have an increase in traffic congestion, people dumping trash and, unfortunately in the beach areas, people don’t always pay attention and they leave things in plain sight in their vehicles and things get stolen, which we get calls about.” Between the police staff shortage and the large geographic area within Northern Division’s jurisdiction, officers cannot

San Diego Police Department Captain Tina Williams has been with the department since 1994. respond to every call, noted Manansala. “Our division is one of the largest in the City,” he said. “We encompass more than 41 square miles and we have over 220,000 residents to look after — and that’s not including the summer months when we have tourists.” Williams added that having made the rounds at community advisory boards, she noticed that residents seem to think they should be cautious about calling the police — a perception she would like to see changed. “It’s OK to contact us. Please contact us,” she said. “We

believe if you see something, say something. Public safety is a shared responsibility. So if we never get that call, we never receive that information. “Depending on how active the command is that day, sometimes things get prioritized lower … but for us at least we have that information. If we aren’t hearing it from the community, we have no way of knowing there’s something we should be keeping an eye on.” In light of the short-staffing at San Diego’s police communication centers, which was deemed a near-emergency in late 2016 (with people reporting busy signals when they called 911 or the non-emergency line), Williams said the department has hired 40 new dispatchers. “Now the wait time for calls has met and exceeded national standards,” she said. In addition to incident-specific calls, Williams and Manansala advocate for Neighborhood Watch programs as a resource for exchanging crime and safety information. “We have some of the strongest and most active Neighborhood Watch programs from Clairemont to the beach communities, which is evidenced by people’s postings on nextdoor.com and their willingness to call in and report suspicious activities,” Manansala said. “This area’s Neighborhood Watch programs and the police have a great working partnership because they let us know about suspicious activities to give us a leg up on crime in the community. Whether it’s someone unfamiliar in the neighborhood, someone rummaging through trash, or an armed robbery in progress, our priority is public safety, serving the community and providing a better quality of life.”

Infuse these sips with the season’s bounty of organic and local strawberries, cherries, zesty limes, sassy rhubarb, apricots and juicy mangos. For savory palates, blend beverages with young, tender vegetables bursting with fresh flavors from arugula, baby spinach leaves and spring onions to pea shoots, Persian cucumbers, fennel bulbs and cactus pads. And to amp up the body’s systems to alleviate winter’s maladies, including stiff, achy joints, congestion and indigestion, add choice herbs, spices and flower buds to create healing tonics for a good spring cleaning. Whether concocting a sweet or savory drink, sprinkle some potent spices into the mix like golden turmeric — an anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, allergy-calming immune booster, musky cumin and mustard seeds, powerful digestive aids, coriander, also a warrior against inflammation, and zippy fresh-grated ginger, a natural remedy for all that ails you from nausea and digestive discomfort to stuffy noses and scratchy throats.

Fragrant springtime herbs will dial up mocktails and cocktails with a vibrant tang. Mint, the season’s quintessential herb, one of the most popular since classical times for its culinary and medicinal attributes is a high fiber, vitamin-rich, antioxidant powerhouse that has been linked to tempering bad cholesterol (and breath), heart rate and blood pressure, easing indigestion and sunburns, while awakening the senses and perking up memory. Toss some fresh leaves into a tall, chilled glass of limeade or iced tea, whip up a mint julep with or without the booze, a strawberry and mint spritzer or an ancient Persian sweet and sour treat called sekanjabin that blends lemon peel, ginger, mint, vinegar, honey and pureed fruits or shredded cucumber for a syrupy energizer. Originating from Mediterranean climes, thyme was revered by the ancient Greeks as a cure-all for everything except mending a torn tunic. Add these delicate sprigs to infuse a minty lemony essence to teas, sparkling waters, strawberry or honeydew agua frescas or vodka cocktails. Beautiful green-leafed basil, as fragrant as it is brilliantly-hued, while the most commonly grown herb in the world, is anything but common. A

■ Method: Bring water and sugar to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add lavender blooms. Cover. Remove from heat. Steep 1 hour. Strain through a fine sieve into large a pitcher. Stir in lemon juice. Add sparkling water. Fill pitcher with ice. Garnish with lemon slices and sprigs of lavender and mint. Yields 10-12 servings.

native of India and Asia, and member of the mint family, there are dozens of varieties, the best known being Sweet Basil, followed by Lemon and Thai. Basil enlivens rhubarb bellinis or margaritas, strawberry or cucumber slushes, orange blossom honey limeades, mango, perfume-pulped cherimoya or leafy green smoothies, or a simple pitcher of ice water adding an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant oomph to every sip.

ice cubes for a pop of color and creativity. Culinary flowers, including brightly pigmented nasturtiums, aromatic fennel buds, yellow calendulas; pink, red and white roses, snapdragons, delicate pansies, and mauve lavender petals are a few favorite edibles. To jazz up salty and savory cocktails and vegetable-based beverages use assorted Mediterranean olives in the ice cubes, spring onion tops, tiny rainbow radishes, or chopped seasonal herbs, such as parsley, chervil, lime leaves or rosemary.

In Praise of the Granny Flat: What You Need to Know about San Diego’s New Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance Last fall, California passed new legislation to make it easier for San Diego homeowners to build accessory dwelling units on their property. In large part, this is a response to the housing crisis and is a way to give San Diego homeowners more control over what

they do with their property. This legislation took effect this January. First, an accessory dwelling unit is a small dwelling on the property of a pre-existing residence. This can include a converted garage, or a small apartment over the garage, or a basement apartment. Sometimes, these are small structures built onto a foundation behind the main house. Once known as “mother-in-law’s quarters,” you might know an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) as a “granny ﬂat.” In San Diego luxury homes, you’ve probably heard them called “casitas.” Now, it’s a homeowner’s right to build an ADU on their property, without the enormous fees that used to be required to get the permits, as long as the ADU meets certain building code guidelines. In the new legislation, if a garage is being converted into an ADU, the only requirement is that the new dwelling pass ﬁre safety

standards and show proof of sewer/septic service and water. All provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation must be included on the same parcel. One inhibition is that an ADU cannot be added to a lot that already has an existing guest living quarter or accessory apartment. Because of the increase in property values and home costs, not to mention the increased cost of living, Millennials have had a harder time buying homes in California, especially if they’re working on building their career. Families may want to help out, but some may ﬁnd it difﬁcult to have adult children living at home (or, for that matter, to be an adult child stuck living at home). In many ways, the ADU is the perfect compromise, giving everyone a little autonomy and independence. The same is true for elderly relatives who many not feel comfortable (or be able to

afford) living on their own, but who are not yet ready to move into an assisted living facility. Having an ADU is the perfect balance of keeping an aging relative close without having to be on top of each other all the time. An ADU is also beneficial for those who have out-of-state family or regular houseguests but want to retain a modicum of privacy. An added benefit to this is that the ADU can serve as an office or workout room when not being used by guests. For many homeowners, though, ADUs are the perfect compromise of having an income property with a much lower commitment requirement than owning a separate property. Next month, I’ll discuss how the right accessory dwelling unit can be the perfect addition to your backyard retreat.

Government can help cover day camp costs Parents should inquire into whether the camp participates in income-eligible subsidy programs, for instance through Title XX. For day camps: ■ A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account allows parents to be reimbursed on a pre-tax basis for child care or adult dependent care expenses for qualified dependents that are necessary to allow parents to work, look for work, or to attend school full time. Visit the FSA Feds Web site for more information. ■ In certain circumstances, day care expenses, including transportation by a care

provider, may be considered dependent care services and paid with pre-tax dollars. Visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for more information. ■ Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. The IRS allows an income tax credit of up to $6,000 of dependent care expenses if you have two or more dependents (up to $3,000 for one dependent). The amount of the credit is based on your adjusted gross income and applies only to your federal taxes. This applies to qualifying day camp expenses.

WOMEN PAINTERS

JANE BOOTH, MEL DAVIS, & KAREN SILVE: APRIL 8 - MAY 21 Madison Gallery presents Women Painters a group exhibition featuring the work of abstract artists: Jane Booth, Mel Davis and Karen Silve. Throughout art history many women artists were encouraged to divorce art practice from female experience and self-awareness in order to succeed professionally. This shifted in the twentieth century, as women became an integral part of society and female artists found their space within male-centric art movements, most importantly, Abstract Expressionism. Abstraction became the vehicle in which gender became obsolete, as it centered on movement, color and emotion. The exhibition strives to combat the oft-repeated and false compliment unthinkingly paid to women, that genius has no sex; there may be equality of power, but in its quality and application there will be and must be, difference and distinction. Like Helen Frankenthaler, Kansas-based Jane Booth began staining color directly into large pieces of canvas. She creates a formal vocabulary from this technique. Booth’s style serves as an example of intimacy between artwork and viewer, like a dance her work is free, lyrical and feminine. Mel Davis derives her style from non-relational, colorful surfaces of post-painterly abstraction. She follows the instinctive elements of reductive abstraction in both her treatment of the canvas and in her use of color and forms. Portland-based abstract artist Karen Silve midpoints the extraordinary dichotomy between nature and technology and brings together a harmony or colors within pure abstraction. Renowned art writer Ann Landis describes this as a movement “into the realm of pure abstraction, and at this juncture in time, the possibilities appear to be boundless.” Silve utilizes the computer as a design tool and creates vivid landscapes that resonate with memories and senses. As art critic Peter Frank says “Her paintings do not describe or even suggest her surroundings so much as taste of them.”

UCSD’s University Art Gallery showcases ‘Art and The Border’ LET’S REVIEW BY WILL BOWEN The exhibit “Making Communities: Art & The Border,” opened March 3 at University Art Gallery (UAG) on UC San Diego campus, and turned out to be a delightful surprise. Although the premise is serious and hotly controversial, the exhibit’s personalities and playfulness, along with their deep insights on opening night, made for an exciting evening. Curator Tatiana Sizonenko gathered some of the best examples of art associated with the San Diego/Mexico border, which will remain on exhibit through April 13.

Collectively, the show brings back many memories. Victor Ochoa, aka Mr. Mural, who was lead artist on the colorful murals under the Coronado Bay Bridge in Chicano Park, brought in a collection of small paintings depicting Chicano cultural icons, like “Vato” or “La Migra.” Louis Hock, contributed thermal, night vision photographs taken over the shoulders of Border Patrol officers. David Avalos, who helped establish the Centro Cultural de la Raza in Balboa Park, in addition to co-founding the Border Art Workshop, offered a memorial piece. Debra Small created a beautiful exhibit of medical plants used on both sides of the border by Native Americans. Elizabeth Cisco’s oversized photographs of “La Migra”

(Immigration) chasing immigrants loomed menacingly overhead. The notorious Las Comadres had me running after them through the gallery trying to snap their photos during an improvised Keystone Cops performance piece. Near the end of the evening, reflections by San Diego State University (SDSU) art professor Richard Keely, brought everything together in a light of understanding and appreciation. The exhibit is a retrospective of the last 50 years, with 20 artists each imagining a more just and interconnected world. At the time the works originated, they were powerful and provocative, and they brought out the ire of some people, but have since become accepted and “mainstream.”

Perhaps the most famous artist at the opening was Ochoa. He told the group he was born in LA and sent back to Tijuana with his family as an illegal immigrant when he was 7 years old. He said he was constantly hassled by police and Caltrans when he began painting the world-famous Chicano Park murals. “Nowadays, however, Caltrans claims that they were responsible for putting the murals up!” Ochoa remarked with a chuckle. Ochoa said that he did not receive compensation for painting the murals, but did end up getting about $1 million for the technical manual used for their upkeep and restoration. “I tried to spread the money out to all who were involved,” he said. Ochoa pointed out that he didn’t have to

www.lajollalight.com worry about graffiti artists painting over his mural work because he set up an organization, based on mutual respect, to help them with their artwork and to give them space for their painting. He added because of his work on the Chicano Park murals, he’s been invited to speak and work all over the world. “I’ve been painting murals in Cuba for the past 15 years and the IRA invited me to Belfast to help them do some murals supporting their cause,” he said. Avalos, who in 1990 received a MFA degree from UCSD Visual Arts, is a member of the Committee on Chicano Rights, and professor in the School of Arts at CSU San Marcos. He explained that his work in the show has been sitting in a cardboard box for many years. It’s a colorful, scale model of the old donkey carts that lined Revolution Avenue in Tijuana. Tourists would don sombreros and have their pictures taken while sitting on the carts as a souvenir of their visit. As Avalos explained, “the people who took the photographs of the tourists developed their pictures in little boxes on the spot. They painted the donkeys with zebra stripes so the donkeys would show up better in the photographs, which were sometimes a little washed out. “But on a more serious note, this sculpture is actually a tribute to Francisco Sanchez, who was shot to death at age 40, on Dec. 8, 1980, by the Border Patrol.” Avalos said he helped start the Border Art Workshop with the aim of educating border artists and bringing up the standard of their work. “Our most important accomplishment was the art show we put on at Galeria de la Raza,

Chair sculpture in the exhibit which is located in the Mission District of San Francisco. The thing I remember most about the show was meeting artist Robert Crumb, world famous for the Zap Comic Book series of the San Francisco hippie era,” he said. Three of the 15 original members of Las Comadres, a feminist art group concerned with the rights of immigrants, also attended

endangered freshwater fairy shrimp. Hicks is a performance artist who teaches both Chicano Studies and Comparative Literature at SDSU. One of Las Comadres’ projects was filming Hicks getting married at the border fence! She said the work of Las Comadres and the Border Art Workshop were included in a book that came out in France titled, “Geoesthetique.” She also mentioned being in an art show at Wisteria Cottage in La Jolla, which was sponsored by the La Jolla Historical Society. O’Cain, who is married to SDSU professor Keely, said in 1989, Las Comadres hired a small plane to trail a banner through the sky with a poetic response to all the people who lined up and were shining their car headlights on the border fence to protest growing illegal immigration. The banner read: “A Thousand Points of Fear: Another Berlin Wall.” Keely called the exhibit “important and vital,” explaining, “I remember going to all the events for this artwork when they were happening for real. Those were very exciting times, but things are different now. Rather than having a socio-political agenda, like back then, these artworks now offer a historical perspective to help educate new David Avalos with one of his artworks students.” ■ IF YOU GO: UAG is open 11 a.m. to 4 the opening — Ruth Wallen, Emily Hicks p.m. Tuesday-Thursdays.

FROM DEAN BLUNDELL, B1

the shop. Not with me, I stayed out of it!”

Are you married?

How have La Jollans’ hairstyles evolved through the years?

“Yes, I had a wife pass away, so this is my second marriage. We’ve been married 17 years, so I feel like I’ve been married all my life, but that’s a good thing. I have three children, Lisa (52), Kim (50) and Mark (48), and three grandchildren, Niko, Deven and Tehya, my youngest granddaughter, who started college at NYU this year.”

What’s it like being retired?

“It’s difficult when you just retire; I have nothing to do. I find or create jobs around the house, and try to stay out from underneath my wife’s feet, because she’s retired, too. Her name is Denise. It happened very quickly; a man came along who had been after me for 15 years to buy my shop. And I think I was getting tired, my shoulders and that kind of thing ... but my clients, sometimes I feel like I deserted them, but there’s nothing I can do, is just the way it is ... life goes on. I also wanted to have a little life after I retired. We want to travel a little bit, and I’m looking forward to that. I’m beginning to think that I deserve it (laughs). It takes a while.”

What did you like about having your business in La Jolla?

“I think the personal relationships with people. The work was OK, it was fine. I got to where I could do it with my eyes closed. But it’s the personal relationships that were important to me.”

What’s your secret for keeping clients loyal? “Treating them like I like to be treated. That’s an old time thing, but it’s very true. Every single time it works.”

What’s the craziest haircut someone asked you to do?

“I didn’t really have that, no ‘mohawks’ or that sort of thing. In the 1970s and ’80s, the kids wanted their hair long, and their parents wanted it short. There were some battles in

nice man, very sweet. Of course, you didn’t mess with him (laughs).”

“It was just a normal men’s haircut, like I have, and then it got longer for a while, long sideburns, even the news people had long sideburns and hair over their ears, and it’s gone back now to something like I have, a normal haircut.”

What were your business hours?

“I had a lot of early business. I’d open at 6 a.m. and close at 2 p.m.”

Did you have a favorite client?

“I had many clients who were my favorites. That’s the truth! I made personal friends, I got a couple of buddies who were clients, we would go get lunch together and hang out. It’s more than just a customer-barber relationship, it’s a personal relationship.”

What do you miss the most?

“The people and the conversations. People shared a lot. And of course, they knew that nothing left the shop, just like Were there people getting haircuts at 6 a.m.? Las Vegas (laughs).” “Absolutely! I had a couple of 5 a.m. walk-ins, and a lot of appointments at 6 a.m. So I built a business on being there How has La Jolla changed over the years? early.” “In 1967, when I started working here, the University had just started. It grew and grew, and it brought art, music, What were some of your routines? theater, and a lot of well-educated people. It changed the “I got up very early in the morning, and got ready for work, town dramatically, and I think for the best. It was a nice and there was no traffic. I would come to work, get my coffee, town, but it was small. It’s a nice mix of people now.” read the paper, and then either have appointments or walk-ins early. And I enjoyed that, I enjoyed the people. It’s What do you do for fun? been a great run.” “I do everything I can do in a hobby, and then I get bored with it. Photography is one I really stick with. I mostly take Did you ever cut famous people’s hair? pictures of family, some scenery. And what’s funny is that “When I worked on Girard Avenue, I cut the hair of a lot of people now take pictures and get them in their computers, movie stars. Gregory Peck, John Wayne … and former FBI but never get them developed. I’ve got 4,000 pictures in my director J. Edgar Hoover used to hang out here! He was short, computer, and maybe 10 that I’ve developed. That’s crazy!” like I am, and he was surrounded by big tall guys. It was a different time!” If you got to do it all again, would you

change anything?

Which haircuts would the stars ask for?

“Just a trim. They didn’t want anything radical because they might be filming or doing something. John Wayne came in one day for a trim, and there was a little man sitting in a chair waiting, he must have been age 80 or so, and when he saw John Wayne he got so excited. John Wayne got up out of the chair after I trimmed his hair and went over and talked to that guy for 20 minutes. That made that guy’s day! Wayne was a

Keeping best friends out of the dog house for 65 years.

“I might have chosen something else to do. I did two years in college, but figured that I was not going to make a living in biology and I was married and had a little girl, and I needed to make a living, so that’s what I did. I might have done that differently somehow ... I’ve always had this wish to have a job or career where I could help people. If I did so with the barbering, fine, but I would have liked to be a scientist, a doctor or something like that.”

Symposium offers latest on breast cancer treatments BY JOE TASH Joan Lunden was busy with her career as a journalist, author and motivational speaker, and didn’t always get her yearly mammograms on time. In 2014, things changed. “I heard those words no one ever wants to hear: ‘You have cancer,’ ” said Lunden, a former long-time host of “Good Morning America,” and one of the featured speakers at a dinner symposium held Thursday, March 16 at the Del Mar Marriott hotel, before a sold-out crowd of 370. “I didn’t think it would happen to me.” These days, Lunden travels the country, trying to raise awareness about breast cancer, current treatments, and the importance of early detection and diagnosis. Thursday’s event, sponsored by Susan G. Komen San Diego, provided her with another opportunity to spread her message. After her diagnosis, Lunden underwent aggressive chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Her signature blonde hair has since grown back, and she appeared energetic and in full health as she addressed the gathering. “I am now NED — no evidence of disease,” she said to applause. “I’m still here and I’m rocking the boat.” The symposium, titled “Screens, Genes and the Choices We Make,” was the third annual edition of the event put on by the Komen organization, a nonprofit that funds cancer research, provides diagnostic mammograms and other services. Along with being a forum for breast cancer

Komen San Diego CEO Laura Farmer Sherman (left) and broadcast journalist Joan Lunden stand in front of the mobile mammography coach, an RV painted pink and equipped with 3D mammography equipment. More details at komensandiego.org education, the event raised $210,000, and the money will be used for such purposes as paying for mammograms for women who can’t afford them, said Laura Farmer

Sherman, president and CEO of Komen San Diego. On display in front of the hotel was a mobile mammography coach, an RV painted pink and equipped with 3D mammography equipment. “Regardless of the money in your pocket, you can get a mammogram,” Farmer said. “We launched the mobile unit so there would be no more excuses for not getting a mammogram. It goes everywhere women are and helps them out.” The mobile unit is a joint effort of Komen San Diego and Community Health Imaging Centers. Sherman said both reservations and walk-up screenings are available. For

information about the mobile unit’s schedule, visit komensandiego.org As attendees dined on kale-beet salad and coconut curry (edible centerpieces made of beets and leeks adorned the tables), Lunden moderated a roster of speakers that included cancer specialist Dr. Deborah Rhodes of the Mayo Clinic and Dr. Dennis Holmes, a surgeon and medical director of the Los Angeles Center for Women’s Health. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer also expressed his support of the Komen organization and its work.

La Jolla Library hosts sense-based science day

ittle scientists had to use all five senses to complete the La Jolla Library’s Big Science for Little People activities on March 17, when the Fleet Science Center presented “Making Sense of It All,” at 7555 Draper Ave. Led by education coordinator Rebecca Monte, the participants had five puzzles to solve that required their use of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. For a full lineup of free children’s activities, including upcoming Big Science for Little People themes, visit lajollalibrary.org

Noah Van Zeeland, 5, shakes two containers — a clear one with a visible item inside and one he cannot see through carrying an unknown item — to determine if they sound the same, and could be the same item. Lots of little scientists and their guardians participate in the day’s activities.

Miles Bryson, 4, feels a hidden item to see if he can figure out what it is by touch alone ... and its a golf ball!

Lucia Scull, 2, tastes a liquid to see if it is sweet, salty, sour or bitter. For this test, guardians dipped Q-tips in the liquid, let their child taste it, and then tossed away the Q-tip.

Mobile Mammograms

Dangers of dense tissue

Rhodes explained that some women have “dense breast tissue,” which can mask a tumor on a mammogram image, and dangerously delay a cancer diagnosis. She and her colleagues, using duct tape to rig up a prototype model, developed a technique called “molecular breast imaging,” which she said can more effectively spot tumors when women have dense breast tissue. “Mammography does save lives,” Rhodes said. “But I don’t think it’s enough for women with dense breast tissue.” Those women, she said, need an additional diagnostic test, such as an MBI, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or an ultrasound. In Lunden’s case, she said her mammogram in 2014 did not detect her cancer, but an ultrasound test showed her tumors. Lunden and Rhodes stressed that women need to know if they have dense breast tissue, so they can discuss it with their doctors. Early diagnosis is linked to higher survival rates, they said. One source of more information is the website, areyoudense.org Lunden said one of her motivations for speaking to

■ Komen San Diego and Community Health Imaging Centers offer free mammography throughout the year with its mobile mammography coach to check for breast cancer in women. Both reservations and walk-up screenings are available. For information about the mobile unit’s schedule, visit komensandiego.org or sdchic.org groups about breast cancer awareness is to carry on the legacy of her father, a cancer surgeon who died in a plane crash when she was 13. Another motivation, she said, is to repay the kindness she received when she was going through treatment. “It’s not a sorority you necessarily want to join. The initiation stinks,” she said of being a cancer patient. “But the community is so supportive. As a survivor, you want to reach out your hand and help the next woman on her journey. Now is my turn to pay it forward.”

Virgil DeWitt Shuck

January 3, 1916 - January 10, 2017 La JoLLa — Virgil DeWitt Shuck, 101, passed away peacefully on January 10, at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, with family at his side. The way he lived his life embodied the greatest generation’s values of hard work, community involvement, philanthropy and kindness to others. DeWitt was born January 3, 1916 in Nelson, Mo, the son of Lee Irvine Shuck, a country doctor and Mary Virgil Wing Shuck. He grew up in nearby Boonville. He worked his way through Westminster College during the depression, joining Phi Delta Theta fraternity and earning his B.a. in biology in 1937. after graduating, he took a job with the finance department of Phillips oil in Tulsa, oK, where he met the love of his life and future wife, Carolyn, whom he married in 1950. after winning a scholarship to Harvard Business School, DeWitt graduated in 1942. During World War II, he served as a captain in the office of the quartermaster general in Washington, D.C., where he helped to plan and deploy the supplies needed for our fighting forces. after the war, he joined Hoerner Boxes in Keokuk, Io, a corrugated-box manufacturer owned by another Harvard Business School graduate, Richard Hoerner. Shortly after

joining, DeWitt became the chief financial officer. In Keokuk, DeWitt was a leader in several civic areas. He served as president of the Keokuk Community School board, the Chamber of Commerce, the Community Chest, the Rotary Club and was an elder of the Presbyterian Church. In 1966, Hoerner Boxes merged with Waldorf Paper of St. Paul, MN. DeWitt and his family moved to Minneapolis, where he became the chief financial officer of the new company, Hoerner Waldorf. In Minneapolis, he was a director of Hoerner Waldorf, First Trust Company of St. Paul, abbott-Northwestern Hospital Corp., Miller Hospital, Boy Scouts of america, United Fund and Northstar Research and Development Corporation. He served as a Trustee of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis. In 1972, DeWitt and

Carolyn moved to La Jolla, where they lived for the rest of their lives. For several years after moving west, DeWitt worked as the manager of the western division of Hoerner Waldorf. after retiring, DeWitt continued to serve on a number of boards, including the H.G. Fenton Material Company, Scripps Clinic, Scripps Research, the San Diego Museum of art, the Parker Foundation and the La Jolla Country Club. For both Scripps Clinic and the San Diego Museum of art, DeWitt served as chairman of the board. DeWitt was also an active member of the La Jolla Presbyterian Church. an integral part of DeWitt’s life and character was sharing his abilities, time and financial resources with community philanthropies. DeWitt was an avid follower of the stock market, calling his broker in La Jolla first thing nearly every morning. He loved sports and played golf at La Jolla Country Club into his 90’s. and he loved clothes.... How many men buy three suits when they are a 100 years old?! DeWitt was a devoted husband, father and friend who was truly interested in others. He was known as a gentleman but he was a gentleman because he was genuinely kind. While waiting in the emergency room in the middle of

the night for an urgent procedure at age 99, DeWitt told his caregiver she should go home and get some sleep! all felt his affection and love. With all of his life’s accomplishments, what he will be most remembered for was his sincere smile for everyone, every day. DeWitt was preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn, who passed away in 2002. He is survived by three children, John (Maria Shuck) of Rye, NY, Ted (Marsha Shuck) of Centennial, Co and Ellen (Peter Haley) of Portola Valley, Ca; four grandchildren, John Robert and Carl William of Rye, NY and Will (Joelle Milov) and David of New York, NY; and three step-grandchildren, Dylan Haley of Gisbourne, NZ, Hillary Haley of Los angeles, and Michael Haley of New York, NY. He is also survived by his loving caregivers who became family during the ten years they cared for him, Carmen Knowles, Josie del Rosario and Raul Doria and more recently, Raul Santiago and Beni Balajiada. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations in DeWitt’s memory be made to Planned Parenthood of San Diego or Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation of La Jolla.

LA JOLLA GEMS OF THE WEEK

Coming in June

n a rags-to-riches story — brilliantly told by University of San Diego history professor Molly McClain — Ellen Browning Scripps (1836-1932) was worth an estimated $30 million by the 1920s and gave most of it away ... in La Jolla! The how and why is revealed across 366 pages and 32 photographs in “Ellen Browning Scripps: New Money and American Philanthrophy” to be published June 1 by University of Nebraska Press, $34.95 at nebraskapress.unl.edu McClain tells us that Ellen was born in London, but grew up in rural poverty on the Illinois prairie. With her brother, E.W. Scripps, she built America’s largest chain of newspapers, linking Midwestern industrial cities with booming towns in the West. When in her 50s, Ellen made La Jolla her home and became the Jewel’s most-beloved “fairy godmother.” Her story is La Jolla’s story, and it’s a fun read filled with the skinny on other local faces and places.

Wish I’d Said That! “Last night at around 7:30, our friend Rachel Maddow unleashed a Force 5 tweet-icon with: ‘We’ve got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9 p.m., MSNBC. Seriously.’ It’s so important for news networks to add ‘seriously’ to any announcement, so the audience knows you’re not pranking them.” — Stephen Colbert

True or False? The Western Sea Gull is an opportunistic feeder, capturing its own live prey, scavenging refuse, or stealing food from seals and other gulls. It is known to steal milk from lactating female seals while they lie on their backs sleeping on the beach. True! And furthermore, according to allaboutbirds.org, in colonies with many more females than males are present, two females may establish a pair bond. Each lays eggs, and then takes care of the double-sized brood. The female-biased sex ratio of some Western Gull colonies may have been the result of pollution by pesticides that acted like estrogen and made some male embryos develop as females. The oldest recorded Western Gull was almost 34 years old. It was banded in 1973 in California, and sighted in the same state in 2007 and identified by its band.
