City hopes shoreside sign solves seal, sea lion saga BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Cove got yet another pinniped-related informational sign, March 24, when the City of San Diego hung a large poster sporting

facts and pictures about seals and sea lions on the fence that surrounds the scenic overlook. In addition to ways to tell these sea mammals apart, the new sign encourages visitors to stay

“at a distance” from them. It reads: “Can I get closer? No! Seals and sea lions are wild animals. Disturbing hauled out seals or sea lions is considered harassment, which

violates federal law and can lead to a citation. Sea lions have also bitten people who get too close or try to snap a photo. For your safety and SEE SIGN, A19

A 1934 Packard Twelve Runabout Speedster will be on display Sunday, April 9 at The Cove as featured car of the 2017 La Jolla Concours d’Elegance.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The 1934 Packard Twelve Runabout Speedster — featured car of the 2017 La Jolla Concours d’Elegance — was finished in black with black leather accessories when it was delivered to Washington D.C. as one of only four such cars built. In 1985, General William Lyons purchased the vehicle and commissioned restorer Richard Martin to refurbish it, adorning it with the shade of blue it will wear for the La Jolla event. From Friday, April 7 to Sunday, April 9, the 1934 Packard, along with more than a

hundred other signature automobiles, will take over the streets of La Jolla. With parties and parades to cocktail-time shows and receptions, car lovers have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the elite automotive world. The La Jolla Concours began in 2003 as a way to showcase the beauty and charm of downtown La Jolla during the winter months, according to a press release. “In 2003, Michel Ullman, Terry Underwood and Yvette Marcum met at Georges at The Cove SEE CONCOURS, A8

It’s All About Service and Luxury

Jewelry, interior design, nail salons open in La Jolla NEW BUSINESS ROUNDUP BY ASHLEY MACKIN Thus far, 2017 seems to be good for business in La Jolla, with jewelry stores, nail salons, interior design firms and art galleries (to name a few) opening from Bird Rock to The Village. Here’s the lowdown on a few:

Under new management

■ Ligne Roset: KAZ Design Group, an American-based company specializing in interior design and architecture, acquired La Jolla’s Ligne Roset interior design store in January at 7726 Girard Ave. and is building a Poliform showroom within the showroom. “We focus on residential, commercial and hotel/resort developments. Our company offers a vast variety of products of the highest quality in interior and exterior furniture, kitchens, closets, doors, baths and lighting,” said Amir Kazerani. “KAZ Design Group came in a few months ago, we purchased the existing Ligne Roset business and we are adding Poliform to our inventory. A few months down the line, we are going to add a bathroom line. We want to create a one-stop shop to purchase our products and see the (interior design) services we offer. We can do everything from doors, flooring, knows, fixtures, closets, etc.” Ligne Roset offers interior design assistance, and Kazerani said several designers and architects bring their clients because of the firm’s “modern, contemporary, very functional and sophisticated aesthetic.” (858) 876-2138 or ligne-roset.com/us ■ iNails/Perfect 10: Perfect 10 Nails, formerly iNails salon at 7523 Fay Ave., opened in January next to the Vons parking lot. With the takeover comes a more upscale

experience and spa services. “My girlfriend and I were looking for a good upscale location for a salon. She previously had experience in Vail, Colorado, which is a similar clientele to La Jolla,” owner Bruce Mitchell explained. “So we’re offering the same basic services that were there before, but we’re adding more spa-type experiences with our treatments, such as more massage options and scrubs.” Specialty services such as facials, eyelash extensions, eyebrow tinting and permanent makeup are available by appointment only. A descriptive website with services and prices will be live “any day now” at lajollanails.com ■ Timeless Treasures: When Suzanne Deeb Naboulsi —

La Jolla resident and environmental scientist-turned-jewelry designer — acquired Timeless Treasures fine jewelry at 7703 Fay Ave. in January, it was a dream come true. She said she always wanted a jewelry business, but the circumstances were never quite right. That all changed this year. “My family moved to La Jolla after my son was accepted to The Bishop’s School … I would eat at The Cottage restaurant (across the street) and would look at this store and thought about buying it. A month after we moved here, this business became available for sale … and I didn’t even think twice about it,” she said. SEE BUSINESS ROUNDUP, A4

FROM BUSINESS ROUNDUP, A3 The store now carries a diamond collection, gold collection, Italian-inspired pieces, custom jewelry options, and offers jewelry and watch repair, cleaning and polishing, stone matching and restringing of beads. Timeless Treasures is also the exclusive carrier of a jewelry line by Nina Nguyen. “She deals with all natural stones,” said Deeb Naboulsi. “She takes the stone and does not change its features in any way. She casts the metal casing to fit the edges of the stone and doesn’t smooth the stone to fit the casing. Sometimes, with a pair of earrings, they will be slightly different and I like that. It’s quite beautiful.” (858) 454-1929. timelesstreasuresjewelrystore.com

Brilliant Earth Jewelry

The newest addition to the La Plaza La Jolla shopping center is Brilliant Earth Jewelry, which sells ethically-sourced bridal and fine jewelry. The store is open by appointment only, beginning April 7. Brilliant Earth San Diego showroom manager Jesse Strot said, “Our mission revolves around making the jewelry industry as transparent as we can and fostering change toward a more ethical culture. We go beyond the Kimberley Process (an initiative to stop the sale of diamonds from sources that financially support violence by rebel movements) and make sure diamonds and gems come from sources that adhere to fair labor practices.” A portion of Brilliant Earth sales goes to countries impacted by the diamond trade, and funds educational and environmental causes in Africa and other areas. The store

La Jolla resident and environmental scientist-turned-jewelry designer Suzanne Deeb Naboulsi in her Timeless Treasures store on Fay Avenue will provide a variety of jewelry types — rings, necklaces, bracelets — at a variety of price points. Pieces can also be custom made. Said Strot of the decision to come to La Jolla, “San Diegans, in general, are socially-conscious people, and the La Jolla mindset meshed well with our mission. Having a store here is a great fit for the brand.” 1 (800) 691-0952. brilliantearth.com

home décor items, clothing and jewelry. “I had a business 10 years ago, and everything was kept very secret. Now it’s the opposite, people want to know everything and share everything,” she said. “I love telling them about the items, what they’re made out of, who made them, where they’re made. We have a sweater in stock right now (and the sale of those sweaters) helps villagers in Peru live a happy life. I love telling people about things like that. I like to educate through representing these artists and sharing that knowledge.” The store has been open since late 2016 and offers specialty items by a select pool of artists. “I bring them and their work in and showcase their pieces. If someone came in and had a blank space in their house, they could purchase something from our showroom or we could connect them with the artist who would create a custom design for them,” James said. “If someone is looking for something different … there are so many things you can find here. I’m not trying to be everything to everyone, but collectively, we have some beautiful things,” she said, adding that she chose La Jolla for her store, because “The Village has its own little, very special type of community. I love all the stores here and the locals. I shopped in La Jolla for many years and always loved the weather, the people and the tourist presence.” (858) 291-8041. graciejames.com

PROGRESS home-goods

During the five years the PROGRESS home-goods store was open in San Diego’s South Park neighborhood, it was considered a local favorite. It has several great reviews

PERFECT 10 NAILS (formerly iNails)

online (some expressing disappointment at its closure), with one reviewer calling it “Anthropologie meets West Elm.” Owner Bruce Jaynes closed the previous location in 2015, and is opening a new location at 5648 La Jolla Blvd. in Bird Rock on April 1. “I was born and raised in Pacific Beach, so I know Bird Rock well,” he said. “It is a very well established retail area. The shops here are fantastic. There are great anchor stores, and I can add to the experience without stepping on anyone’s toes, because nobody in Bird Rock is doing what I do.” He describes his offerings as “Mid-century mixed with a Scandinavian influence.” They include cards, gifts, books, bags, blankets, décor, furniture, candles, soaps and more, at an accessible price point. Jaynes said gifts start at $10. “My hope is this would be the go-to place for gifts, and a place for the community to shop and hang out,” he said. The store will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

La Jolla Louvre gallery

To highlight the labor-intensive oil paintings of artist Josh Serafin and surfboard artist Shanna Tweedy, the La Jolla Louvre gallery opened at 7629 Girard Ave. on March 10. “Shanna and I have always loved art, and she’s an incredibly talented artist,” said co-owner U.S. Marine Corps Captain Myles Tweedy. “We were always spending time in La Jolla and seeing what the local artists were doing. We see a lot of fine art in La Jolla … but everything we have here at the gallery is an art form that doesn’t really exist elsewhere.”

www.lajollalight.com Using a method known as reverse-tempered glass painting, Serafin creates ocean-inspired pieces by laying a layer of colored oil on glass, backwards. He lets it dry and then paints another layer. In between, he cleans up the lines or gives the image more definition. He also uses metallic leafing to create an underwater, glistening effect. One piece in the gallery took three months to make, Myles Tweedy said. Further, Shanna Tweedy’s pop cultureinspired surfboards are also on display. “It’s more of a retro, fun, pop art style. They are still usable surfboards, so people could take them out into the ocean if they want,” she said. Some of the prominently placed surfboards include images of the 1990s cartoon Darkwing Duck and an image of Marilyn Monroe in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform. Shanna also works by commission. Going forward, the Tweedys would like to “dedicate one wall to local children’s art, maybe have a ‘child of the quarter’ when kids can submit their art and have it hang,” Myles Tweedy said. “If people come in and check it out, they will see that the art Josh is doing is unrivaled and how talented Shanna is,” Myles said.

iSweat Lodge

iSweat Lodge opened at 5709 La Jolla Blvd. in Bird Rock in October 2016, to provide a place for infrared heat body wraps and vibration exercises, which owner Kat Pytka says offers “a laundry list of benefits for the body.” The heat-based program helps elevate

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MARCH 30, 2017 - PAGE A5

the body’s internal temperature for calorie burning, detoxification, increased blood circulation and more. The regimen begins with a 10-minute “whole body vibration exercise,” which involves standing on a platform that vibrates, causing the muscles to contract. “It helps build stability and balance while getting that massage feeling. I incorporate into the sweat lodge experience because it preps the body by warming the muscles and getting the blood flowing,” she said. Then, participants get tucked into the heat wrap, which is more similar to a sleeping bag than an on-the-skin wrap, and lay down on a table, 50-60 minutes. “The first 30-40 minutes are really warm and cozy, and people think nothing is happening, but then those last 10-20 minutes get more intense,” Pytka said. In that hour, the body’s core temperature raises, which increases the heart rate for a cardiovascular exercise (without leaving the table) and Pytka said a participant burns 1,200-1,500 calories per session. Other benefits include muscle relaxation, detoxification, lowering blood pressure and soothing arthritis pain. “People come in for different reasons,” she said. The iSweat Lodge offers different pricing options, including buy-one-get-one free packages and monthly memberships. A native of the East Coast, Pytka said she chose Bird Rock for its “neighborhood” feeling. “I love north Pacific Beach and the Bird Rock area, being from back East, I’m used to the smaller neighborhoods where everyone knows one another, which you don’t see much of in California,” she said. “I love La Jolla, but Bird Rock has always had this great uniqueness, so I wanted to open here.” Hours are 1-9 p.m. Monday and

Taking the conventional nail salon experience to the next level, Gloss Hand Spa opened at 7553 Girard Ave. in January. The salon offers conventional services, with add-ons such as hot-stone massage and specialty polish (gel) and packages of combined services. Rather than individual stations, manicures are given at a table and pedicures in deluxe spa chairs, said manager Tu Pham. “We also have a ‘dry bar’ to dry your hands and feet. We use an air purifier to reduce dust and the chemical smell sometimes found in salons,” he said. “We are the only ones using a nail-polish shaker, so when a polish has been sitting on the shelf for a while, we shake it up so the color is properly mixed. This reduces chipping.” The salon uses hotel-grade towels kept warm in a temperature-controlled box rather than heated immediately before use. Pham also prides himself on additional sanitation measures, including medical-grade disinfecting equipment for anything that is re-used. “It’s the same equipment your dentist uses to clean tools,” he said. “We use porcelain bowls rather than plastic because plastic tends to carry more germs. We are very conscious about cleanliness and hygiene.” The salon also features organic scrubs and lotions bought in small batches. Certain services include a complimentary glass of wine or beer to patrons age 21 and older (served in glasses) and coffee or tea is available in mugs. Salon hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. (858) 412-4450. glosshandspa.com

Short-term rentals issue remains unresolved

San Diego City Council committee votes on home-sharing regulations BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Members of San Diego City Council Smart Growth & Land Use (SGLU) committee couldn’t reach a consensus on City staff-proposed regulations to address the short-term vacation rental issue that has divided San Diego coastal communities since home-sharing platforms became a factor in the rental market. After a four-hour hearing Friday, March 24, committee members discussed the regulations proposed by City staff, who were charged with studying solutions to the short-term rental issue in November 2016 when then-Council president Sherri Lightner’s efforts to end the dilemma failed. The staff report proposes two approaches to the problem with three options each — one for whole-home rentals, which committee members could not agree upon, and one for house-sharing, which obtained the required votes to pass as a recommendation to the full Council. The committee voted to allow home-sharing (renting out parts of one’s home while the owner is on the premises) of up to two bedrooms in all single- and multi-family zones without any limitations of use. Those wanting to rent more than two bedrooms could do it in the RM-5-12 zone, commercial zones and the Mission Beach Planned District Ordinance (PDO) zone, but this option limits the number of guests to four and the surface for rent to 25 percent of

Home-sharing, with three to five bedrooms for rent, would need compliance with the “limited use” regulations, which include the requirement of an annual permit for homeowners, the existence of an occupancy agreement and a designated-local contact available during the use of the property as a home-share. The whole-house rental proposal consists

of three options, the strictest one requiring a 21-day minimum stay for most residential zones, and the most permissive one allowing whole-house rentals in many multi-family and commercial zones with compliance of the “limited use” regulations.

where the main house remains fully occupied by the owner. To rent both spare rooms in the main house and the accessory dwelling unit on the same property, owners would have to obtain a Neighborhood Use Permit. If the whole-house rental regulations were approved by the City Council, companion units may be use as whole-house rentals where the owner resides in the main house on the premises. The staff report includes the contents of a letter from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) addressing the short-term rental issue, which states that the CCC doesn’t support a full ban of these properties on coastal residential neighborhoods but recommends certain regulations such as limits on the number of rentals per area, types of houses allowed to be rented and maximum occupancies. The short-term rentals will likely go back to the full Council in the fall, when the issue will be discussed by all City Council members with the recommendation of the SGLU committee to approve the proposed legislation for home sharing and with no recommendation as to the proposal for whole-home rentals. City Attorney Mara Elliott issued a letter March 15 stating the Municipal Code doesn’t allow short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods.

La Jolla Historical Society turns exhibit into a book

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The 10 La Jolla subdivisions developed in the 1920s — Barber Tract, Prospect Park, El Pueblo Ribera, Lower Hermosa, La Jolla Shores, Country Club Estates, Upper Hermosa, Ludington Heights, The Muirlands and La Jolla Hills — were showcased in summer 2016 at the La Jolla Historical Society (LJHS) exhibit “From Jazz Age to Our Age: Landmark Homes in La Jolla.” Now, LJHS has taken their story one step further by turning the exhibit catalog into a book titled, “Jazz Age to Our Age: Architects and Developers of 1920s La Jolla,” available starting April 15 at Wisteria Cottage, 7846 Eads Ave., and at Warwick’s bookstore, 7812 Girard Ave., for $25 to LJHS members and $30 to non-members. Author Seonaid McArthur told La Jolla Light that the book is comprised of exhibit visuals. The idea came about when La Jollan Ann Zahner visited the exhibit and said it would be a shame if there wasn’t a catalog derived from it. “She came forward and offered to fund it,” McArthur explained. Zahner is listed in the book as one of the many donors whose contributions made it possible. “Jazz Age to Our Age” chronicles the architects, lifestyle, geography, transportation and culture that shaped the outskirts of The Village in the 1920s. “By 1920, the resources, the funding and the money were available and the people were poised in developing all the land surrounding The Village of La Jolla. The Panama Canal had opened, so there was more investment coming into California,

the period, according to McArthur, is the variety of styles that manifest in La Jolla’s constructions. “The architects were so inventive — from the Pueblo Ribera Native American look to Spanish and Tudor Revival and from California Craftsman to Modernism — the whole spread is really spectacular.” For her, the best thing about the book (and the exhibit) was the willingness of many families to volunteer their historical materials. “It was really fabulous that the people who own these homes are so proud and wanted to share their information. What I enjoyed was their enthusiasm to bring material forward. To me, that was the exciting part of the project!” But, McArthur added, what surprised her was the need for historical research in La Jolla. “The cataloging of La Jolla’s history has a long way to go. There needs to be a lot more work done in interviewing architects who are alive and helped build the town. There needs to be a lot more work done in gathering historical material, and it’s thanks to this exhibition process that these things are brought forward.” She highlighted the importance of families coming forward to help historians figure out the past of La Jolla. “Often times, we don’t have the identities of the people in photographs, and it takes their families to come forward,” she said, encouraging private collection owners to donate to the LJHS. — La Jolla Historical Society can be reached at (858) 459-5335 or 7846 Eads Ave. lajollahistory.org

The cover of the La Jolla Historical Society’s new book, ‘Jazz Age to Our Age,’ shows how the newly constructed homes in The Muirlands subdivision served as a backdrop for golfers at La Jolla Country Club in 1929. and the 1915 Panama-California Exposition celebrated that,” she said. Another factor in the development of historical La Jolla homes was the architects. Many had arrived in San Diego for the Panama-California Exposition, and were readily available to build custom homes near La Jolla beaches or on top of Soledad Mountain, the book reports. McArthur explained that when putting the exhibit together they originally wanted to pay tribute to La Jolla historical buildings “and we found that the ‘20s were such an important time period that we should take

that time and make the whole exhibition about it.” LJHS, publisher of “Jazz Age to Out Age,” has ordered 500 copies so far. Director Heath Fox told the Light they used professional designers and printers in the process. When asked what LJHS wanted to accomplish with the book, Fox said, “To document and promote public awareness of the property owners, the architects, the architectural styles and the neighborhoods that grew up around these 1920s homes, which we still know today.” One of the most remarkable things about

Tickets $175. ■ BH Gold Tour d’Elegance departs 7 a.m. Saturday, April 8 from the Symbolic International Garage, 11425 Sorrento Valley Road and will take participants on a caravan-style cruise to La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, where lunch will be served, followed by a fly-over of World War II-era planes.

restaurant and drew up plans to host a car show on the lawn at Ellen Browning Scripps Park,” it reads. At the March 8 La Jolla Village Merchants Association meeting, Concours d’Elegance chair Michael Dorvillier highlighted the various ways the event contributes to La Jolla business. For example, the various Concours parties don’t serve dinner “to encourage attendees to eat at Village restaurants. We specifically chose not to valet, so people have to park in The Village and walk around,” he explained. The main event set for Sunday, April 9, features 150 one-of-a-kind classic vehicles parked in front of breathtaking views of La Jolla Cove. The 13th edition of the event

brings top-quality cars and activities to several La Jolla locations. Proceeds from Concours d’Elegance benefit the La Jolla Historical Society, among other local organizations. Through the charity code program, ticket buyers have the opportunity to donate $10 to their favorite local non-profit while receiving a $5 discount on their ticket. To take advantage of this, guests can enter the organization’s code when buying tickets online. The codes are: La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), La Jolla Parks & Beaches (PARKSANDBEACHES), La Jolla Rotary Club (ROTARY) and San Diego Automotive Museum (SDAUTOMUSEUM).

Park & Rec begins fundraising for playground project BY ASHLEY MACKIN As the La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board continues to wait for ideas and feedback on the La Jolla Rec Center playground renovation, it announced at its March 22 meeting that it would begin the fundraising phase of the project. The topic of the playground was not on the agenda, but discussion took place nevertheless during the meeting’s public comment period. With little money in hand and hundreds of thousands of dollars needed to make the playground ADA-compliant (and even more cash needed for an upgrade and complete overhaul), acting chair Mary Coakley-Munk told attendees, “As a board, we feel it’s important to note that there is no money and we are not aware of any grant that is coming in any time in the future. … We definitely are in need of donations.” The contributions thus far have been a $25,000 gift from Audrey Geisel, and other donations that could be used for the playground, but were not expressly given for its renovation. Board chair Cindy Greatrex, who was not at the meeting, later told the La Jolla Light that no actual grant money is coming in, but an anonymous donor(s) is still planning to make a major contribution, which is expected by the summer. It was previously reported that $350,000 was committed by this donor. However, Coakley-Munk noted, “$350,000 is approximately a third or a quarter of what we’re going to need for the project because

The La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board discusses fundraising plans for the playground renovation. of all the ADA issues. The new restrooms alone, which will need to be ADA-compliant, will be close to $300,000. Realistically, if we would like to be creative and end up with something special, which is what I’d like to see, it’s going to cost more, but we can do it. “This community knows how badly we need to renovate the playground and I think the community will support the project. We encourage people to be interested in the project, we want to hear what they have to say, but we need to have funds to make it happen.” Other adjustments needed to reach ADA compliance include increasing the space

between play fixtures and making changes to the play equipment.

Status report

Save for one idea presented by La Jollan Dan McCandless, specific themes, features, configuration and more, have reportedly only come forward via e-mail and were not disclosed at the meeting. In December and January, McCandless presented his suggestion for a complete playground reconfiguration with the acknowledgment that his idea would cost more than simply replacing the existing features with more modern ones. His plan calls for the basketball courts to be moved to

what is now the toddler area (close to Draper Avenue), and combine the different play areas into one space. This would increase the amount of available space, and keep children close together for safety. His wife, Alexis McCandless, a mother of three, said, “We use the space all the time … a concern of mine has always been the disjointedness of the play spaces as they are now. With a 15-month-old in the toddler section, it’s hard for me to maintain a line-of-sight to my 4- and 6-year-olds in the other section. Going between the two spaces is difficult. … Consolidating the play spaces in the middle of the Rec Center is a brilliant SEE PLAYGROUND, A12

FROM PLAYGROUND, A10 idea for those with multiple kids.” However, Dan McCandless expressed concern about the lack of forward momentum on the project. “I had hoped, by this point, we would have come to a decision as to which layout we’re going to go with — whether we are going to keep it as is and replace the equipment (at its current footprint) and replace the basketball courts, or do a new design for the whole space just to get it going,” he said. “Once we have a decision on the layout, the next step is fundraising, because until all the money is raised, you cannot put a shovel in the ground.” He also said he would spearhead the fundraising effort. The board has yet to vote on a renovation layout and has not put forward an alternative to McCandless’ plan. In past months, the board said it needed more community feedback before voting, but has yet to set a deadline for that feedback.

Coakley-Munk said the topic will “definitely be on the agenda next month,” and meetings for design ideas would be scheduled for a time of the day that better accommodates working parents. The board also hopes to have an information booth at the Rec Center’s Spring Egg Hunt on April 15 where donations would be accepted from those who wish to contribute to the playground renovations. Further, a website dedicated to collecting ideas and donations is being established. While the website is live at reviveljrc.org there is no content on it. At some point, the website will be a forum for updates and schedules, and a way to e-mail suggestions or donate to the project. The City of San Diego’s La Jolla Rec Center website does not contain any information about the project. A Facebook page and dedicated e-mail address are also being planned. — La Jolla Park & Recreation, Inc. board next meets 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 26 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St.

Personalized, customer service is key at OneWest Bank BY DAVID L. CODDON The “West” in OneWest Bank isn’t there just for show. This 8-year-old financial institution was founded as a Pasadena-based savings bank and today boasts 70 retail branches in Southern California. Among them are three in San Diego County — in Escondido, in Rancho Santa Fe and right on Prospect Street in La Jolla. “We’re Southern California born and raised,” said Jeffrey Lenhoff, vice-president and branch manager. “We try and support the communities that we’re in. Within the 70-branch network, for example, we do a lot of work with Junior Achievement.” Being a friend to the community goes hand-in-hand with being friends to customers of One West, which Lenhoff likes to call a “boutique bank.” “We try and differentiate ourselves primarily by our customer service. Clients are going to sit down with somebody when they come in. We have some who come in almost daily just for a cup of coffee. We know our clients by name.” Clients and their friends, as it turns out. “Clients bring their dogs into the branch and we have little doggy bones for them,” Lenhoff said. “So the dogs love us, too.” OneWest is a full-service bank with both residential and commercial customers. For

We will do, if it makes sense and the person qualifies, all the very large loans that a lot of banks will shy away

from. We’ve done this from day one.” Part of maintaining the trust of its customers is keeping current with the ever-changing face of the financial landscape. “Every month we have some kind of training we’re going through to stay abreast of what’s going on in the industry,” said Lenhoff, “so

that when we have conversations, we’re able to stay current with our clients.” That ongoing relationship is another key component of the OneWest service. “We like to stay in touch with our clients,” said Lenhoff. “We are constantly inviting them to go over what we have with them and make sure it’s the best option for them, make sure of what their needs are.” Setting yourself apart is a must if you’re doing business in this part of the country, of course. “The biggest challenge,” said Lenhoff, “is the number of banks that are here. Everybody wants to be in Southern California. The real estate market is phenomenal. It’s a very competitive market among banks.” With that in mind, OneWest’s staff (seven in the La Jolla branch) is prepared to help both existing homebuyers as well as potential first-time buyers. Either one can expect to come in, sit down with somebody who either knows or will quickly learn his or her name, and if there’s a dog on a leash, too, that’s A-OK. OneWest Bank is at 888 Prospect St., Suite 140. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 9 to 5 p.m. Friday.

Village Garden Club gives 14 Jacaranda trees to Balboa Park BY ASHLEY MACKIN gray day at Balboa Park was brightened by ladies in lavender and spring saplings on March 22, when the Village Garden Club of La Jolla (VGCLJ) donated 14 Jacaranda and seven Torrey Pine juvenile trees to the Morley Field Dog Park. It marked the first time the VGCLJ added trees to Balboa Park through its Jacaranda Planting Program, so a small ceremony was held to celebrate. Mauricio Medina, on behalf of City Council member Barbara Bry, offered a congratulatory message to the Club for “its successful Jacaranda Tree Planting Program” and for keeping San Diego “beautiful and green ... well, purple.” Since the Club was founded in 1974 — and the Jacaranda Tree Planting Program was established in 1986 — the members have planted more than 2,200 trees in San Diego County. Some are at the Central Library, the Embarcadero bayfront park, Horton Plaza downtown, and recently, 45 trees at the La Jolla YMCA. VGCLJ president Devonna Hall explained, “The goal of the project is to help beautify our neighborhoods and City landscape. We hope these trees will help the dog park and provide shade for those who come here to walk their dogs, and so that they won’t just see dirt. The Torrey Pines provide a big statement and the Jacarandas will provide shade and beauty.” The Jacarandas should mature in two years, and bloom in April or May, she added. The idea for the Morley Field trees came about after a VGCLJ member met with the Balboa Park Conservancy to suggest a partnership between the groups. Club member Linda Shaw said, “Having lost more than 50 trees in the park since the beginning of this year due to winter storms — on top of a massive die-off caused by five years of drought — the Garden Club is determined to help reverse the trend by planting these trees in Balboa Park.” At the ceremony, Balboa Park Conservancy

Devonna Hall, Jan Nelte, Dodie Williams, Faye Kitchell and Linda Shaw president and CEO Tomás Herrera-Mishler said, “Today is an example of the kind of collaboration the Conservancy was established to facilitate. (When you) think about the incredible generosity of the Village Garden Club of La Jolla, and the partnership with the City of San Diego Park & Rec Department, the expertise of our landscape architects … you see it truly takes a village to make this park the world-class destination

we’re working toward.” Hall agreed. “We love Balboa Park and hope this will be the first of many plantings and partnerships. We are always looking for places to donate trees where they will make an impact and help the community,” she said. The Club accepts donations of $50 to plant a tree, and Hall said several trees are planted in memory of a loved one or to

Donations can be made to The Village Garden Club of La Jolla, The Jacaranda Project, 1140 Wall St., #783, La Jolla, CA 92038-7033 or through its website: vgclj.com VGCLJ meets 9 a.m. fourth Thursdays, September-May, at Congregation Beth Israel, 9001 Towne Centre Drive. Their theme for 2016-2017 is “Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together.”

Village Garden Club members at the Jacaranda planting in Balboa Park include Pat Miller, Gleneva Belice, Vicki Lugo, Nan Kaufman, Libby Levine, Sue Miller, Dodie Williams, Linda Shaw, Devonna Hall, Merrily Goff, Faye Kitchell, Penelope West and Jan Nelte.

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

OUR READERS WRITE Readers express disdain for product ‘hawking’ ■ Ah yes, welcome to La Jolla! Home of the Cove stench, the empty storefronts, the lack of parking, and on nearly every street corner distracting “greeters” with outreached palms asking for money! Now comes “The Gauntlet.” And what might that be? It is the pestering Girard Avenue “free sample” cosmetic merchants who won’t take “no” for answer! Just when one thought it was “safe” to walk along Prospect Street, surprise! Now there are two more recently added stores that won’t leave pedestrians alone. It is sad to see how The Village is evolving. Is it any wonder why friends and family don’t care to visit La Jolla like they used to? Can you blame them? Annette R. Buis ■ I, too, on multiple occasions, have been solicited by skincare sample hawkers on Prospect Street. However, the last time I encountered them, I happened to walk by with my husband who stands 6-feet, 5-inches tall. Amazingly, they didn’t approach or even make eye contact with us. After reading the March 23 La Jolla Light article on such business practices, I realize just how predatory such behavior is toward women. Next time it happens, these hawkers can expect a rude and unprintable response from me. Mary Helen Ish ■ Many of us in The Village are upset with the aggressive sales tactics used by some cosmetic and skincare businesses in town. Similar stores are located in other places around the country, and I think there is a greater story behind these operations. It doesn’t seem possible that they could all be very profitable, yet they keep opening up … similar merchandise and sales tactics, but with different names. Irwin Kwatek

Up the fines, not the laws After reading the last few issues of La Jolla Light, I felt compelled to weigh-in on two public concerns making headlines: Dangerous intersections and off-leash dogs. Dangerous intersections: I find it interesting that the City of San Diego installs traffic congestion signals to help improve bad traffic areas and yet this makes the traffic worse, Torrey Pines at La Jolla Shores Drive is a perfect example. The only reason there are dangerous intersections is because there are negligent drivers. If the Department of Motor Vehicles decided to give driver licenses is to truly qualified individuals, there would be a lot less drivers on the road running “No Turn on Red” signals at Torrey Pines Road and Girard Avenue. What the public should be asking, is for the laws to be changed, so when somebody does run the “No Turn on Red” intersection, instead of getting a $200 fine, they get a $2,000 fine, and they have to go to traffic school for 30 hours. That will get negligent humans to stop creating dangerous intersections. Dog/pet problems: Bill Smith’s letter last week concluded, “The problem is with irresponsible and presumptuous dog owners.” He couldn’t be more correct, but there is still a small related issue. There are quality humans out there who give nothing but rules to their dogs, and when they walk their dogs off-leash,

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Skincare companies with employees standing outside their stores’ doorways are soliciting passersby and distributing product samples in The Village. they pick up the poop and make sure their dogs don’t run into people’s picnics, etc., but they still get ticketed. I think that’s wrong. As a pet trainer who has taught many dogs to walk off-leash, I suggest that instead of ticketing people who have an off-leash dog, let’s change the fine structure. If your dog poops off-leash and you don’t pick it up, you get a $1,000 ticket. If your dog runs into the street off-leash, you must pay for all damages caused by the dog. If the dog runs into some one’s picnic and destroys it, you pay a $500 fine, plus the cost of the food lost. There have been a few non-negligent humans who’ve gotten tickets for off-leash dogs and afterward, those dogs end up having more behavioral problems because on a leash, the dogs feel dictated to after a life of freedom, and without that off-leash freedom, dogs end up with more anxiety and stress when they are forced back on the leash. There are too many laws humans must follow and most of those laws are ridiculous. Taylor Freeman

Clarification to story on architects in La Jolla The recent article on the history of architecture in La Jolla, mentioned that there really were no real architects working in La Jolla prior to the 1920s. It is important to note that Irving Gill, through Ellen Browning Scripps’ patronage, had constructed the series of buildings in The Village after 1900 that set a contemporary tone — her home (now the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Woman’s Club, Community Center, Bishop’s School and Scripps Hospital. Gill’s buildings were important to anchoring and giving style to what was essentially an artist’s colony with beach cottages and a few homes. Gill’s designs were important and helped to give confidence in the future of The Village, encouraging the post 1920s investment in surrounding subdivisions. There needed to be a “suitable” town — people could enjoy! Seonaid McArthur

Overgrown plants are a hazard for walkers This morning (March 27) as I was walking up Nautilus Street on the sidewalk just west of All Hallows Academy, I witnessed a young mother with her toddler son in a stroller run into some ice plant that is so far overgrown on the sidewalk that the baby and the stroller went flying and she tumbled right over them. It was horrifying to see. They seemed to be OK (for now), but very roughed up and the child, of course, was hysterical. Can we get some help for our sidewalks and roads? This should have never have happened! It’s just so out of control. Thank God this pair was OK because the accident could have been much worse than it was! We’re all just looking for a little help from the City to keep our sidewalks safe to walk on. Ceci Filter

Correction to story on ‘Tower 18’ book I greatly appreciate the information you recently printed about me and my upcoming book release for “Tower 18.” The exposure will hopefully be beneficial to book sales. However, there is a typo in line one that misspells my last name — Bathney. There is no N in my name. It is spelled Bathey. But more important, the news brief states that I am a retired Airborne Master Sergeant. My bio includes a statement that my father is the retired Master Sergeant. I certainly do not wish to misrepresent myself as an Army veteran when I am not. Tony Bathey

City OKs MCASD expansion plans in La Jolla

Museum to jump from 10,000 to 40,000 square feet

La Jolla Light launches website videos with tour of MCASD’s expansion plans

FROM STAFF REPORTS The San Diego Planning Commission on March 23 unanimously approved plans for a $55 million expansion of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD)’s La Jolla campus at 700 Prospect St. The expansion will quadruple the museum’s exhibit space from 10,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet, add ocean-view terraces and increase parking by replacing a 24-space surface lot with a 41-space underground garage. (The City is requiring that valet parking be provided for events with expected attendance of 320 people or more.) Plans also call for converting the surface lot into an outdoor sculpture garden. The La Jolla Community Planning Association voted 11-1-1 in favor of the expansion in 2015. The work is expected to be finished by summer 2020, after two years of construction slated to begin in 2018. Commission chairman Stephen Haase said it’s impressive that the museum, founded in 1941 as the Art Center of La Jolla, has the required community support and financial contributions for such an expansion. The new design, created by New York architect Annabelle Selldorf, will build upon and re-work a significant 1997 renovation that included work on the current museum buildings, the Sherwood Auditorium, offices, workshops, storage spaces, book store and cafe. The expansion will increase the museum’s footprint of just over 2 acres by 10 percent. The site of an adjacent single family home at 636 Prospect St. will be added to the site and the home will be demolished.

The museum, which is 55 feet above ground level at its highest point, already exceeds the City’s 30-foot height limit for coastal areas because it was built before that limit was in place. The expansion will also exceed the 30-foot limit, but only by 3 feet. The museum site is bounded by Prospect Street, Cuvier Street and Coast Boulevard near the Pacific Ocean. The expansion will shift the front entrance to the museum from

the north side to the east side along Prospect Street. Access to the garage will be from Cuvier Street. The La Jolla campus will close during construction, with exhibits shifting to the museum’s downtown branch on Kettner Boulevard. —San Diego Union Tribune contributed to this report.

FROM SIGN, A1 the safety of the animals, please remain at a distance that does not frighten or disturb them.” It is one of at least seven other such signs already posted at The Cove. At both staircase entrances, there is a City sign posted. It reads: “Caution: Do not approach seals/sea lions. Seals/sea lions can bite. Agitated seals/sea lions may attack. Harassing seals/sea lions is against the law. In an emergency, contact 911.” It also features a graphic depicting a human hand and a pinniped with a red “no” symbol over it. That same City sign dots Coast Boulevard near the entrance to the bluffs (via a gate that was installed in January 2014). One more sign, just a few feet away from the new one, is partially overgrown by vegetation. Other signs on the other staircase entry cites City beach regulations, such as no

alcohol and no disturbing noise, and regulations on dogs and beach fires. Another one, also posted at the western staircase, reads “Tidal pools are natural preserves. Look but don’t touch. Help save marine life.” A very dated sign, affixed to the wall leading to the staircase, has several letters missing. At one time, it listed the rules in an Ecological Reserve. At the March 27 La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group meeting, acting chair Bill Robbins (who chairs the LJP&B subcommittee on signs) said he “knows nothing of” the recent sign posting. “I heard a rumor that something was coming, but (the City) did not come to me and ask my input or ask to be put on the agenda. They just put it there. The City spent a lot of money to put up new signs at The Cove ... which proves the point that when they want to do something, they can find the money to do it.” The price of the signs has not been disclosed.

The sign installation could be part of the proposed Coastal Management Plan, which has been in development since 2014. City of San Diego public information officer Tim Graham told La Jolla Light, “Using signage to inform the public about the seals and sea lions will be an element of the Coastal Management Plan ... (but) the final plan is still under review.” He added that the Coastal Management Plan will be a comprehensive document that will address “a number of coastal topics including seals, sea lions and birds,” and that it was expected by early April. Marine mammal expert Doyle Hanan is assisting with writing the plan. He released the “Hanan Report” about the sea lions at La Jolla Cove in July 2016. Contracted by the City in February 2015, Hanan’s study was intended to “identify potential opportunities for changing the behavior or haul-out conditions of the sea lion colony now expanding along the La

Jolla coastline.” However, Hanan’s research led to the conclusion that the sea lions “are not likely to abandon the area” and that “the City is in the position to develop strategies of how to best live with them and, hopefully, take advantage of their presence.” Addressing the already sign-laden beach at La Jolla Cove, Graham told La Jolla Light, “The new signs are designed to provide additional education about the sea lions and seals in an effort to help the public better identify each species, as well as provide recommendations to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals as well as the public. Having additional signs allows additional opportunities for the public to see and read the signs.” Graham added that the signs should not be interpreted as a direction of City policy that accepts the sea lions’ presence at The Cove. He said, “Those plans will be detailed once the Coast Management Plan is released.”

YMCA working to keep flying baseballs from its swimming pools COMMUNITY CONCERN

t is apparent that the new swimming center at La Jolla’s YMCA could be a dangerous one. On Sunday morning, I pulled my middle child out of a swimming class there after three baseballs landed almost consecutively in the pool. These baseballs cleared the inadequate netting that was installed to prevent baseballs hit from the adjacent Cliffridge Park baseball diamond from reaching the pool. It should be noted that no fault belongs to those involved in La Jolla Youth Baseball. As a parent of three young ballplayers, I encourage my boys to swing for the fences. Thus, the fence-clearing shots represent young ballplayers doing exactly as they are encouraged to do. I believe the blame rests solely with the management at La Jolla YMCA. As I lodged my complaint there, I was told by some YMCA employees that the issue of flying baseballs is prevalent. They also mentioned that complaints have been lodged to management. They were overwhelmingly apologetic and encouraged me to wage this battle before someone was seriously injured by a 300-plus foot home run. That is what I doing here. Adequate netting needs to be installed immediately. The warning shots have been fired. The extended game of dodge ball cannot continue. As anyone who has played dodge ball knows, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hit. The only question is not if — but when? And who? Scott Blumenthal

La Jolla YMCA at 8355 Cliffridge Ave. offers beginner and advanced swim lessons for all ages. ■ Editor’s Note: The La Jolla Light reached out to the La Jolla YMCA for comment and more insight on this situation. In response, the following statement was received from Sue Ball, regional vice-president of YMCA of San Diego County, regarding the La Jolla YMCA pools and the nearby baseball fields:

“Safety is always our top priority at the La Jolla YMCA and we appreciate the community’s efforts to eliminate any potential risk from the neighboring baseball field. We’ve been actively working with both the City of San Diego and the (La Jolla Youth) Baseball league to resolve this issue.

LIGHT FILE

In the short term, we are working with coaches to coordinate the closure of our pool during batting practices and game times. For the long-term, we know all parties value the safety of families and children above all else, and we are confident that we can come to an agreement to ensure the safety of all involved.”

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS Pearl Street gets ‘bus shelter’ As part of a citywide upgrade to bus stops, San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) replaced bus-stop benches in La Jolla in January, and on March 24, converted one bus stop bench on Pearl Street at La Jolla Boulevard into a “bus shelter.” “MTS has made a commitment to improve all of our passenger amenities,” said Rob Schupp, MTS spokesperson. “These new benches will not only improve the streetscape, but their higher quality will attract higher advertising revenues, which are used to help maintain our level of service.” Like their predecessors, advertisements will be allowed on most benches. Press material states that shelter installation will take place over the next five years and cost $6.4 million. MTS currently has 450 shelters, so the improvement project will not only replace existing shelters, but include up to 150 additional shelters for passengers. Shelter amenities include: solar and LED lighting systems, dual purpose receptacles for trash and recycling, five-foot custom aluminum benches, larger and easy-to-read display cases for system maps and timetables, and custom roof design preventing rain runoff from the shelter’s front and side openings shelter.

School district suggests layoffs in budget crisis

ASHLEY MACKIN

Crews install a ‘bus shelter’ on Pearl Street, March 24.

Layoff notices proposed to resolve the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) $124 million budget deficit have been issued to employees. According to SDUSD reports, “The total number of positions eliminated by the Board … across all classifications is 977. … These employees are being notified of their impacted status and offered

options, which vary according to their hours, seniority and previous positions held. The actual number of employees affected in this group will also decrease as employees choose early retirement or leave for other reasons.” Known as the “Golden Handshake,” eligible teachers are offered early retirement in exchange for one year’s salary paid over five years. Those who were offered the early retirement have until April 21 to announce whether they will accept it. At that point, the SDUSD will confirm how many employee positions will need to be terminated. “We anticipate that many employees who receive layoff notices at this point will, in fact, have positions in the District when the new school year begins. The actual number of impacted staff will continue to decrease (and layoff notices will be rescinded) as employees choose early retirement or leave for other reasons. Therefore, the final number of layoffs will continue to change until the process concludes,” SDUSD wrote on an informational page on the subject: sandiegounified.org/stableschools Rumors have also circulated that Visual And Performing Arts (VAPA) programs would be reduced or eliminated. But a letter from VAPA advisory council chair Jeanne Christensen and VAPA director Russ Sperling reads: “Despite the tough fiscal constraints facing the district, we have full confidence — and the personal support of district leaders — that all four arts disciplines will continue to live within our schools. Dance, Music, Theater and the Visual Arts will continue to be taught by highly-qualified teachers at every instructional level — elementary, middle and high school.” It is not yet known how many La Jolla positions or programs would be reduced or eliminated. The decision will not be finalized until later this year. SEE NEWS NUGGETS, A22

New operator needed for Torrey Pines Gliderport The City of San Diego is searching for a new Torrey Pines Gliderport operator. Possible tenants have until April 10 to apply. There is $3,412 annual fee and a 10-year minimum lease involved. There is no on-site power, water or sewer supply. Applicants must have at least three years of experience running a similar operation in the last five. It’s also stipulated that tenants shall not provide food in polystyrene foam packaging. For more information, email roswithas@sandiego.gov or call (619) 236-6721.

Permit reviewers nix meetings due to lack of projects The La Jolla Development Permit Review (DPR) committee’s March 14 and March 21 meetings were canceled due to lack of projects to review. The committee met Feb. 21 to hear one courtesy presentation, but the Feb. 14 and Jan. 17 meetings were also canceled. The number of development projects reviewed by DPR has decreased over the years, according to an investigation conducted by the La Jolla Light. In 2015, the committee overlooked a record number of projects with 36 entries. In 2014, it considered 31. In 2016, it conducted 22 project reviews. So far in 2017, no projects have come forward for formal review. DPR member Diane Kane told the Light she has “no idea” why there aren’t any projects coming before the committee. “Building is cyclic, so this could just be a slow period,” she said, adding that many builders have lately preferred the “50 percent remodel” option that allows a builder to elude the community review process by keeping 50 percent of the existing building on a property.

Appeal process open for new City street lights The City of San Diego posted a “Notice of Right to Appeal Environmental Determination” regarding its Intelligent Cities Outdoor Lighting project. Plans call for the citywide replacement with LED light fixtures, of 14,000 High-Pressure Sodium street, roadway, park and decorative pedestrian lights in the public right-of-way. “Benefits of this retrofit include a 60 percent reduction in power consumption; a reduction in backlight, uplight and glare by 90 percent; and a reduction in related greenhouse gas emissions, thereby reducing harmful effects on nocturnal wildlife,” the notice reads. Recently, 11 light circuits citywide went out, including one in La Jolla Shores and another in The Village. The City reports it conducted an environmental review that determined the project meets the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) regulations for replacement or reconstruction, “which allows for the replacement or reconstruction of existing utility systems and/or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of capacity.” The decision is appeal-able to the City Council. For more information or questions, contact project manager Lorie Cosio Azar at (858) 627-3352 or lcosioazar@sandiego.gov

Short films needed for Atheneaum festival The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library is accepting submissions for its third annual “Shorts and Briefs in the Library” film festival.

The “Shorts and Briefs in the Library” film screening will take place 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 20 at the Library, 1008 Wall St.

The City is searching for a new Torrey Pines Gliderport operator. To qualify, the filmmaker must live, work or exhibit in San Diego County; and can use any film format to tell a narrative story, documentary or other visual expression. Entries must not exceed five minutes, including credits, and be suitable for all ages. The jurors are 25-year film critic Beth Accomando and San Diego Latino Film Festival curator Miguel Rodriguez.

First Zika birth defect in San Diego reinforces travel advisory Pregnant women, women who could become pregnant and couples considering pregnancy are advised to avoid traveling to areas with known Zika transmission after a baby with the severe birth defect microcephaly was born in San Diego County. The County’s Health & Human Services Agency reports the mother was infected with the Zika virus while traveling in a foreign country where the virus is common. “Pregnant women who must travel to one of these areas should strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites and speak with a health care provider upon return,” said Wilma Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. This infant is the first reported case born in San Diego with microcephaly associated with Zika virus. Microcephaly is a condition with multiple causes where a baby’s head and brain are smaller than normal. Children born with this condition frequently have other developmental and neurological health problems as well. Details about the case are not being released due to privacy concerns. As of March 24, HHSA has confirmed 87 travel-associated cases of Zika infection among San Diego County residents. This information is updated every Friday on the HHSA Zika website. No local mosquito transmitted cases of Zika have occurred in California, though limited local transmission has occurred in Florida and Texas. Four out of five people with Zika infection have no symptoms. People with symptoms report having fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito. There is currently no vaccine or treatment for Zika other than rest and supportive care such as fluids and fever relief. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) maintains a list of countries and territories with known Zika transmission at the CDC Zika Travel Information website. People visiting these areas should take steps to avoid mosquito bites: ■ Use insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol for long-lasting protection while traveling and for one week after returning home. If using sunscreen and insect repellent, apply sunscreen first and then the repellent. Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding should use an

K.C. ALFRED

EPA-registered insect repellent according to the product label. Do not use insect repellent on infants less than two months of age. ■ Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants. ■ Use air conditioning and keep windows closed if possible. If windows and doors are open, make sure screens are in good condition with no holes or tears. If mosquitoes can come indoors, sleep under a bed net. ■ Reduce the number of mosquitoes outside by emptying standing water from containers, such as flowerpots and buckets. Zika virus can be transmitted through sexual activity as well as by mosquito bites. Sexually active adults who travel to areas with Zika transmission should use condoms or other barriers to avoid getting or passing Zika during sex, even after they return home. Couples planning pregnancy should speak with a health care provider about a safe length of time to wait before trying to get pregnant. HHSA advises anyone who develops symptoms of Zika infection after travel to seek medical care. To learn more about Zika virus, several CDC websites have useful information: Zika, Zika and Pregnancy, Zika and Sexual Transmission, and Mosquito Bite Prevention.

New California law puts charge in lead-acid battery sales Beginning April 1, as signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, sales of lead-acid batteries will be subject to two $1 fees. Manufacturers will pay a $1 fee for every lead-acid battery sold to a retailer, wholesaler, distributor or other person for retail sale in California. Consumers will pay a $1 fee on each purchase of a replacement lead-acid battery. The Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Act of 2016 requires retailers to register, collect and remit the fee to the Board of Equalization (BOE); and manufacturers to register and remit the fee to the BOE. A lead-acid battery (the type commonly found in vehicles) is any battery that weighs more than five kilograms (11 pounds), is composed primarily of both lead and sulfuric acid, and has a capacity of six or more volts. Retailers will charge a refundable deposit, subject to sales tax, when a consumer purchases a replacement lead-acid battery and does not simultaneously provide a used lead-acid battery to the dealer. The fee is expected to generate $26 million annually. Revenues collected will be deposited into the Lead-Acid Battery Cleanup Fund, where they will be used to investigate, evaluate, clean up, remediate, remove, monitor, or otherwise respond to any area in the state that may have been contaminated by the operation of a lead-acid battery recycling facility. Beginning April 1, 2022, manufacturers will no longer be required to collect and remit the $1 fee. Instead, consumers will pay a $2 fee upon purchase of a replacement lead-acid battery.

It’s time to plan for tomorrow, today! BY STEWART J. WEISSMAN Wealth Preservation, LLC Many people don’t understand extended care coverage or why they may need long-term care in their lifetime. Most men believe the need for long-term care cannot possibly happen to them and many women believe they will be able to simply remain in their homes, should care be required for their lifetimes. While this may or may not be accurate, here is what is true. Long-term care is a serious problem today that is getting only worse as people have longer life expectancies. Some people believe they have coverage under Medicare and or Medical, which is not exactly true. Many people are experiencing their parents or loved ones receiving some type of care in their home or a facility. They may even be helping to pay the costs. Many people believe they have sufficient capital to cover these unexpected expenses and/or

Stewart J. Weissman someone will take care of them, which is the real problem. Normally, providing care to a chronically ill person takes its toll on the caretaker who can become chronically ill and resentful. Most children would put aside their life to help care for the parent. Paying for extended care basically is a reallocation of

resources from cash flow and in many situations, those funds are already committed. Here are undeniable facts to consider: • 70% of people, age 65 or older, stand a chance of needing long-term care somewhere along the way. • 40% of people currently receiving long-term care are adults, ages 18-64. • 50% of the population will require long-term care sometime over their course of their lives. At Wealth Preservation, LLC, we offer new linked benefit products, covering long-term care, for all services in home and/or in a facility. We provide a death benefit to each of you if long-term care is not required and you can have your money back in the future if you don’t need it or want the policy any longer, for whatever your reason. The same monthly benefits are available to both spouses as it is a

joint policy. Here are the advantages of this product and why it is different than most others: 1) Premiums are guaranteed. 2) The amount of death/long-term care benefits are guaranteed. 3) The money earns interest with a minimum guaranteed interest rate. 4) You both have lifetime coverage for long-term care expenses at a guaranteed premium. The best thing about the product? It is not “a use it or lose type of policy.” If you ever change your mind, for whatever the reason, your monies are returned, plus a small amount of interest, less any distributions taken. There are numerous ways to fund this policy, as mentioned, it is a joint policy, same benefits for either, you can make a single premium payment, or pay for it over 10 or 20 years. It is your choice. I understand the value of extended care coverage. My 93-year-old mother is completely

bedridden, my older brother is her caretaker 24/7. His life is very difficult today, in fact, he has no life of his own anymore and the dynamics between my siblings and I have taken their toll. So, I can share with you firsthand what can happen if you are not prepared. I told my parents over and over to do the planning for this reason, they ignored me and the result is what has happened to my brother and our family. Extended care is a real problem today and it is not getting better, but worse for many of us. Stewart J.

The Scene at WindanSea

Surf Culture lesson taught at The Shack L BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN egendary WindanSea Beach surfer Jack “Woody” Ekstrom said he bought his first 79-pound 11-foot balsa redwood board in 1944. “That was the first surfboard I owned, and I paid $7.50. It was a good deal,” he explained during a guest lecture for University of San Diego (USD) students at the local surfing spot. Every four years, USD Associate Professor of Anthropology Jerome Hall teaches a “Surf Culture and History” class at the university. For the 2017 winter semester, he took his students on a field trip to WindanSea where Ekstrom and another veteran surfer, La Jollan Ken Haygood, taught them about the culture and history behind the local surf scene. “You’re in for a real treat today,” Hall told his students as the class got underway at the iconic surf structure known as The Shack. “You’re sitting under a piece of surfing architecture.” Hall said California surf “pedigree” descends from the Hawaiian tradition. “In the late 19th century, a Hawaiian princess who surfed visited Northern California, and then with a group of people coming up after the Second World War from the Islands, we have this great cultural transmission,” he explained, adding that the surf tradition developed into “local micro cultures” that came down to particular breaks or beaches.

My antediluvian view is that it should make people’s lives easier rather than utterly suck the life and the will to live out of people. A case in point: I’d only had my iPhone 6 for 18 months when it stopped charging. After endless wasted hours trying to troubleshoot it on the Internet, the cell phone store guy diagnosed it within two minutes. “The port’s gone bad,” he said, demonstrating. “You can send it to Apple and have it fixed for $199. Or you can upgrade to the new iPhone 7 today for $70.” He was genuinely surprised at my lack of enthusiasm. “Nothing ever works the same,” I groused. “Oh,” he insists. “You won’t notice the difference.” Come back, iPhone 6 with the bad port. I should have just fixed you. Unfortunately, to get the “deal” on the iPhone 7, they make you turn in your old phone where it will be “refurbished” and inflicted on some other hapless iPhone customer where it will never work right again.

Technology has simply run amok. The Apple people just keep adding stupid features, which for reasons known best to them, they think people actually want. One of the first aggravations I had with this phone is when I turned off the screen to save the battery, it would come right back on when I was carrying it in the upright cell phone pocket of my purse. It was sucking the heck out of the battery. After more fruitless on-line research, I ended up back at the cellphone store. “Oh,” says the sales kid-du-jour, “It’s a new factory set feature on the iPhone 7 called ‘raise to wake.’ Every time you put the phone in a vertical position, the screen automatically comes on.” He adds, seeing my grumpy face, “A lot of people really like it.” WHO??? More to the point, WHY??? To me, it would seem that if you wanted this idiotic feature, you could activate it instead of torturing techno-morons like me who would not have figured this out in 10 zillion billion years. He disabled it for me. Now another feature I liked about my previous iPhones, which the malevolent geniuses at Apple have done away with, is the headphone jack. If you want to plug in a headset now, you have to use a cheap junky worthless adaptor that comes with your new

iPhone which plugs into the charging port. This, of course, means that you can’t charge your phone while you’re using a headset or do myriad other functions, which I don’t do anyway, but if I did, I’d be seriously annoyed. Plugging my former earbuds into the adaptor and then into the phone, there was a steady clicking noise and a lot of static. The sound cut in and out. It didn’t take me long to find out on Google that many other iPhone 7 customers had the same unhappy experience. Personally, I don’t think Apple ever cared whether the adaptor worked or not. They want you to buy Bluetooth stuff. But the idea of having yet another gadget that has to be charged irritates me beyond belief. I just want low-tech earbuds so I can listen to music or meditation programs on my phone. I am trying to learn to be a calm person. It is not surprising that there are dozens of links for “Solutions to iPhone 7 lacking a headphone jack” on the Internet. It would not surprise you to know that virtually none of them are cheap. The Audeze Lightning Headphones are a mere $800. I should mention that along with the crappy useless adaptor, the phone came with a set of earbuds that can be plugged directly into the charging port, but were clearly designed for persons with mutantly-large ear canals. No hope I could get them into my little ears. The Apple non-support guy was unapologetic and more to the point, vastly unhelpful. He recommended “going to the Apple online store and picking out some new head phones.” So I was right all along! Meanwhile, both Apple and non-Apple

When I hung up with Apple, Olof listened to me rant for 10 minutes. “What are you trying to listen to?” he inquired. “My ‘Overcoming Stress’ program,” I said. “HOW DO THEY EXPECT ME TO FIND INNER PEACE WITH CONSTANT CLICKING AND STATIC?!” I’m saying it right now: my next phone is a Jitterbug. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

FROM SURF CULTURE, B1

and dance that helped expand the “aloha” spirit.

Surf chronology

■ The ’60s to the 2000s Haygood called this era “The Invasion of Surfers.” With the emergence of polyurethane and styrene, surfboards could be easily shaped. The appearance of the shortboard (smaller, lighter and more “surfable”) broadened the scope of surfing from just a few locals to bigger crowds. “T-shirts reading ‘Long Boards Rule’ were often worn by older guys but sneered at by grommies (young surfers),” explained Haygood. “Times were changing fast. Good wave spots like WindanSea became crowded. Really young guys and girls became expert surfers.” With the changes came the formation of surf clubs and the first glimpses of Localism (the exclusion of strangers) arose. Haygood said the WindanSea Surf Club was created in 1964 “and swept the contests. WindanSea was suddenly famous among hardcore surfers and was referred to as the ‘heaviest surf crew ever.’ ” Surf was slowly becoming a worldwide phenomenon, and WindanSea’s small crews transformed into larger groups. For Haygood, movies like “Ride the Wild Surf,” “How to Stuff a Wild Bikini” and “Beach Blanket Bingo” drew crews to the sandy beaches of La Jolla. “A lot of young people said, ‘I want to do that! I want to go to the beach and get on a surfboard,’ ” he added. The shift from a small group of locals surfing at WindanSea to the attraction of big crowds created a sense of competition for the limited space on a wave, he explained. “The shifts came from a sense of belonging to a small group to being simply one of many — from longboards (smooth and graceful) to shortboards (fast and furious).” After the year 2000, Haygood said he stopped surfing. “Many of us, as we get older, something happens, one way or another ... in my case, it’s balance. I can still catch a wave, but I can’t get up. So the wave crashes on me and it’s no fun!” he said.

Haygood, who holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology, assembled a timeline on the history of surfers at WindanSea for the occasion. ■ Before the 1940s “What you had at WindanSea was almost what you see today, a rocky shoreline, not a good white beach for kids to play, and where the surf is sometimes dangerous. People didn’t come here for normal beach activities,” Haygood said, reporting that only a few “ardent swimmers and surfers” would venture into the ocean at the Neptune Place beach. The underwater surface of WindanSea makes its surf break unique in Southern California. “This is the closest thing we have to a Hawaiian break, a reef break along the North Shore, anywhere along this coast,” Hall explained. ■ The ’40s to the ’60s “WindanSea began to come alive in the 1940s,” Haygood began, “Because young people and people who were in the military were surfing here a few at a time, and others began to say, ‘Hey that looks like fun!’ ” Board surfing was starting to root in the West Coast, according to Haygood’s class notes. “A few surfboards were manufactured and relatively inexpensive ($35). Lots were homemade, sometimes hollow.” Skimboarding gained popularity in The Shores, body surfing at Boomers Beach, diving for abalone and lobster at The Cove and surfing at WindanSea. “Surfing then was primarily a summer sport when the water was warm. In the winter, surfing without a wetsuit or leash, if you lost your board, you could be in 55-degree water for 15 minutes — if you could swim!” Haygood said. “Here’s where the cultural anthropology comes in,” he continued, “A lot of people are getting into surfing; we’ve got older guys who know the culture, the rules, regulations, language, the attitude, and the younger people who were coming in and taught all that. The elders brought in the neophytes and began to teach them the culture.”

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Ken Haygood teaches University of San Diego anthropology students about the surf culture at WindanSea on March 16. A sort of “tribalism” began to develop at the surf enclave, according to Haygood. “It was sometimes called the ‘WindanSea tribe,’ and nobody liked that name. But there were all the characteristics of a tribe coming in. Ekstrom would be the historian of the tribe; he would remember everybody who had done everything and so forth.” A kinship was in the making at WindanSea around the “aloha” spirit, Haygood explained, where the teachings being passed along, were not only surfing techniques, but an attitude that many carried forward into the world. “We didn’t ‘drop in,’ ” he said. “That means if I go and catch a wave, the other guys would back off, not take the wave. Also, we don’t crowd out or cut across, we shared waves with another surfers.” Ekstrom reported Hawaiian-style celebrations taking place at WindanSea among surfers, such as luaus with food, music

Actor Albert Jones appears as actor Ira Aldridge in ‘Red Velvet’ through April 30 at The Old Globe Theatre.

Roles and race take the stage in ‘Red Velvet’ The Old Globe Theatre’s thought-provoking drama set in 1833, London

he Old Globe Theatre’s newest production, “Red Velvet,” is a thrilling drama that transports audiences to the turbulent backstage world of London’s Theatre Royal in 1833. It’s there that young, black American, Ira Aldridge, takes over the role of “Othello” at the Royal Convent Garden Theatre. This is not OK with some cast members, critics and audiences, because no black man in the 19th century has ever starred as Othello on a London stage. In discussing his path to the role, Albert Jones, who portrays Aldridge, said he appeared in a play as a young boy and thought he might enjoy acting. “I was heading to law school, but I kept thinking about acting,” he said. “So I stopped applying at law schools and applied to graduate programs for acting. I got into a really good one and never turned back.” His impressive resume (Globe for All’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Macbeth,” “Pericles,” “Richard III,” and in film “House of Cards”) proves he made the right decision. His role in “Red Velvet,” centers on a man Jones said he’d heard of, but knew little about. Jones credits Lolita Chakrabarti and Stafford Arima for their talents in

playwriting and directing, which make Alridge’s story relevant to modern audiences. “When I got the audition, I remember reading the play once and then again the same night,” Jones said. “It kept calling me. The language was very captivating and it didn’t take much more than that to make me want this role. I see Ira as a truly fearless man to leave his country, his home, and go to England to confront the societal issues of that time. He became a living legend — lauded from the footlights of Stratford to the halls of Saint Petersburg. I truly look up to him, and I’m amazed at his fearlessness and willingness to be out front. “I hope audiences see the lengths he was willing to go, to pursue his passion in life and to try and become as good at his craft as he could.” Jones added that he’s very happy to be at The Old Globe and to participate in how it works. “The Old Globe is comprised of artists, so there’s artistry and collaboration on all levels,” he said. “The set design is astounding. The costumes of all the characters are amazing ... It all works to breath new life into the action for the actors as we step on that stage.” —Diana Saenger ■ IF YOU GO: “Red Velvet” runs through April 30 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Please discuss your professional life

FROM LOU CUMMING, B1 lot, and even then it wasn’t a lot, and I wanted to save money to buy a car. I’m not a real party person, and a lot of the junior officers would get together and rent an apartment in Mission Beach or a place like that. So I lived aboard ship. The ship was my home.”

Are you married?

“In September 1963, I met my wife on a blind date. A friend of mine set us up, and after years of blind dates, one finally wasn’t so bad (laughs). We clicked the first night, and I invited her out two days later. I’ll never forget it. We hit it off, and 10 weeks later I proposed and she said, ‘Yes.’ We decided we would get married when my ship came back from a deployment. Before a ship goes, they always have a Dependents Day Cruise where the ship sailors can bring their families aboard to give everyone an idea of what the father did. I asked the Captain if I could bring my fiancée on the Dependents Day Cruise. He looked at me and said, ‘Not only no, but hell no! I’m not turning my ship into a floating whorehouse’ (laughs). I told that to Glory (who became my wife), and she was mortified. When we got back to port, I guess he must have said something to his wife, and a few days afterward, I got a call from the Captain inviting my fiancée and me to have Sunday brunch in his cabin with him and his wife. This was his way of trying to make up for being so harsh. Two weeks after that, the ship left for deployment. We were due back by Thanksgiving of that year. Our wedding date was set for Jan. 2. My entire family was coming out. In August 1964, we had the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which started the Vietnam War. We were supposed to be replaced by another carrier, which on its way over from California, blew two boilers. So they sent it to another base for repairs and we got extended at sea. The question was, ‘Am I going to be back for the wedding?’ We got back two days before Christmas!”

“I got out of the Navy in June 1965. My in-laws lived by Pomona, and my father-in-law kept telling me, ‘You’re not going to take my only daughter back to New York. Before I was in the Navy, I spent time working for Chase Bank in New York, so my intent was to go back to that. But I told my wife, ‘If I can get a banking job here in California, we’ll stay here. If not, we’re moving back to New York.’ I ended up in a training program for First National Bank, which today is Union Bank. I started to work for them and I began my banking career in San Diego. I worked for a number of banks.”

How did you come to live in La Jolla? Do you have any kids?

“Yes, Glory (51), Christine (46), Lou (45) and David (42). The two girls and their spouses live in San Diego, one of our boys lives in Illinois and the other one in Florida.”

How many years have you been married?

“52 years. It only gets better with age. The longer you’re married, the better it gets, as long as you and your spouse respect each other.”

What do you do now that you’re retired?

“I’ve been quite active with the San Diego County Taxpayers Association and the Pacific Beach Town Council. In 2015, they elected me Honorary Mayor of Pacific Beach. I’m the only resident of La Jolla that’s been the Honorary mayor of Pacific Beach because I was very involved with getting the City of San Diego to prohibit overnight street parking for oversized vehicles.”

What did that mean to the community?

“An oversized vehicle is any vehicle that someone can live in. Those kinds of vehicles would park on the streets all through the beach areas — La Jolla, Ocean Beach, Point

What do you do for fun?

“I do a little gardening, play with my grandchildren. I love reading and I read a lot of history.”

What are some of your routines?

“The first thing I do is ‘jumpstart’ my day by kissing my wife. I tell her that every day, ‘Jumpstart my day, honey!’ (laughs)”

“We bought this house in June 1972.”

ON THE MENU:

Loma. These neighborhoods all had visitors coming in their RVs. At night these people would pull into a residential street and park their RVs there overnight. A lot of them would empty their gray water and their black water on the curb. Some streets would be entirely taken up by these vehicles! The change to the San Diego Municipal Code went into effect in 2012. It took me eight years!”

What was your involvement with San Diego Symphony?

“Shortly after I got elected to the Symphony board of directors in 1981, they held a special meeting about their financial problems where they told us, ‘We have a payroll on Friday and we can’t make it.’ They had lost $500,000 over the summer. There were four of us who took control of the organization. I was elected the next president of the Symphony. We had a tight-knit group working on its (survival), who cut the staff back and started tight financial controls. The Symphony owned a lot of people money. I put all the creditors in one room and I said, ‘You have three choices: 1) Write it off, and we’ll give you season tickets for the winter season; 2) Write half of it off and we’ll give you tickets to certain shows’; and the third option was if they wanted to be paid in full. We were able to write off a whole bunch of debt. In summer 1983, we turned a profit of $2,500 — the first time the Symphony made money in the summertime.

San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Can My Varicose Veins Affect My Blood Pressure? Some truths about venous hypertension. Statement: I already know my varicose veins can be caused by my elevated blood pressure. The real picture: Sure, elevated blood pressure can be accompanied with varicose veins as a symptom. But elevated blood pressure might not be the cause of everyone

getting varicose veins. Very often, varicose veins are hereditary. They are caused by a weakening of the venous walls. Statement: But only older people or pregnant women can get varicose veins. The reality: While many women do ﬁnd themselves with varicose veins during pregnancy, and while venous walls do weaken with age, the truth is that anyone can get varicose veins, including men and young people. Varicose veins can occur from standing too often, or from sitting too often, either at work or during traveling. When the venous walls weaken, too much strain from a heavy workout elevates the blood pressure, and the veins and valves have to work very hard to pump the blood from the feet and legs back up to the heart. Conversely, when the body sits for too long, blood can pool in the weakened veins because the body isn’t

working hard enough to pump the blood back up to the heart. But again, sitting, standing, and working out too much in and of themselves don’t automatically cause varicose veins. However, varicose veins are common enough in people that a moderate workout routine and an active lifestyle are good practices for just about everyone. Statement: So, if varicose veins may be caused by elevated blood pressure, that means the reverse can’t be true, that varicose veins don’t affect my blood pressure. Right? The reality: Not so fast. Doctors are still working on learning the full effects that varicose veins have on blood pressure. However, what they do know is that varicose veins can contribute to venous hypertension. When blood pools in the veins in your lower extremities, that puts additional pressure on your heart, which has to then work harder

to pump all of that pooled blood back up the body. This is especially dangerous to people who already have an underlying heart condition. That is why varicose veins are themselves, in fact, considered a medical condition. Statement: I don’t have to worry, then, if I don’t have varicose veins. The reality: Incorrect! Many people suffering venous hypertension have no visible symptoms. This is why regular medical checkups are a must, especially if you have a family history of high blood pressure, hypertension, or heart disease.But since varicose veins are known to have a negative medical effect on the body, apart from being unsightly, it can be worthwhile to get them removed with a simple in-ofﬁce sclerotherapy treatment.

Classic Matzo Brei

Matzo’s gone mainstream!

n the evening of April 10, millions of Jewish families around the world will be sitting at the Seder table celebrating Passover or Pesach, an eight-day holiday that centers around the retelling — and through symbolic foods and imagination — reliving the historic Exodus of the Hebrew slaves from the fleshpots of Egypt more than 3,400 years ago. In haste, as the Israelites fled from Pharaoh, they packed dough that didn’t have time to rise and baked in the desert sun forming a flat cracker. Matzo, the special unleavened Passover “bread” (perforated and baked to a perfect crispy char, while probably the butt of as many jokes as Christmas’ fruitcake), commemorates freedom and liberation. If Moses were alive today, he would be impressed by the array of modern matzo choices to suit a range of taste buds and dietary restrictions. Perusing the many Passover supermarket displays around town, I found organic matzos in both plain and whole wheat varieties. I also found several GMO-free and gluten-free ones, along with spelt, bran and egg matzos (even yolk-free), and an “everything” version flavored with onion, garlic, poppy seeds and salt. Further, I came across round, handmade Shmura matzos following strict Orthodox

standards so that fermentation, which is part of the leavening process, does not occur at any stage of the preparation — even the harvesting of the grain. Finally, the divine selection of scrumptious chocolate-covered matzos would satisfy even the most discriminating sweet tooths. While scoping out the offerings, I met an old acquaintance of Irish descent, who does not celebrate Passover, but nevertheless was stocking up on a variety of matzos. She told me that she uses them throughout the year as a bread substitute. She tops them with everything from chopped heirloom tomatoes, fresh garlic and a drizzle of virgin olive oil for a zesty bruschetta — to almond butter and bananas as an afterschool treat for the kids. That made me think outside the matzo box for these concoctions to enjoy year ’round: 1. Bridging Passover with Easter, which follows six days later, construct an open-faced sandwich on whole wheat or onion matzos topped with chopped eggs (a symbol of rebirth and resurrection) or shredded spring lamb with a creamy horseradish dressing. 2. Bake a bubbly matzo pizza or lasagna with fresh mozzarella and basil leaves, and zippy marinara sauce. 3. For elegant hors d’oeuvres, top thin tea

An easy, classic pancake-style recipe called ‘matzo brie’ has been said to have more variations than Jewish grandmas. Sweet versions served with fruit preserves or maple syrup (like the recipe featured) are a traditional breakfast dish, while savory ones blended with onions, mushrooms, herbs and spices accompanied by hot sauce or ketchup make a satisfying lunch or dinner. ■ Ingredients: • 4 sheets of plain matzo (organic preferred) • 4 large eggs, beaten • 1 cup hot water • 1/4 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract (optional) • 2-3 tablespoons of unsalted butter or olive, grapeseed or sunflower oil ■ Method: In a large mixing bowl, break matzo into bite-size pieces. Cover with hot water and soak for about one minute until soft. Drain. Add eggs and seasonings, and mix well. Next: Add butter or oil to a large skillet COURTESY and heat on medium. Add matzo mixture, and cook till bubbling and edges become crisp. Flip either whole or in wedges. Cook for another three minutes, and transfer to a serving platter. Serves 4. — Courtesy of Kitchen Shrink’s grandma. For more matzo recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

matzos with olive or eggplant tapenades, or a layer of thick sour cream, chopped red onions, and red or black caviar. 4. Concoct a vegetable, chestnut or sausage and matzo stuffing for a capon, turkey, chicken and duck. 5. For a savory breakfast, whip up a wild mushroom and red pepper matzo frittata, or slather cracker of choice with cream cheese

and top with lox or smoked salmon, capers and thinly sliced red onion. 6. For a sweet breakfast, make fluffy vanilla bean pancakes called “bubaleh” with ground matzo meal. 7. Break into bite-size pieces, drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, and assorted herbs for crispy chips for hummus, guacamole or other favorite dips.

Antonelli: Design can and should be tool for social betterment MoMA curator outlines design frontiers for lecture series BY WILL BOWEN You could not pick a better place in La Jolla than the Seaside Forum at Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a lecture on design by curator Paola Antonelli from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. It’s a beautifully conceived small auditorium with a high balcony above, and walls of fine and richly stained wood. The entrance has all-glass walls that offer an enchanting view of the surf in La Jolla Shores. Antonelli, senior curator in the Department of Architecture & Design at MoMA, spoke as a guest of the Helen Edison Lecture Series on March 14 at the Seaside Forum. Antonelli is, perhaps, today’s top spokesperson for the world of design. Her visit was prompted by Donald Norman, author of “The Design of Everyday Things,” and a former retired cognitive psychology professor at UC San Diego, who now directs its Design Lab. Norman brought Antonelli to the attention of Dan Atkinson, programming director for the lecture series and for UCSD Extension. “Paola Antonelli tops the list of the people I think are of critical importance in today’s society,” said Norman, in his introduction. “She is a person with a broad range of interests that encompass all the latest developments in the design world.” Antonelli left the podium to stand center stage and speak without notes, underneath the beautiful slides she showed. She described herself as “a hunter-gatherer of design ... I go out there and forage for the best examples of design from all over the world. Then I then bring them back to the museum to share with the public.” Antonelli structured her lecture by illuminating a series of things that design should be — what she called “a minestrone soup” of orientations. For instance, she thinks good design should be both critical and communicative. It should have a questioning attitude and highlight (or

Designers should subvert or change the normal way we view things, and offer us new perspectives. Foremost, she argued, design must also have an aesthetic component. It must be beautiful. As an example, Antonelli offered an American wind map that graphically shows the speed of the winds across the country by way of a topographic display of swirling waves for any given moment of the day. Next, Antonelli said good design should be constructive. It should suggest how we might build a different world. For instance, by creating objects that are more “organic” or natural, by modeling the greatest designer of all — nature. “The quest to create truly ‘organic’ design is the Holy Grail of the design field,” she explained. She illustrated her point by showing slides of a project that combined the direction provided by computer programs with the building ability of live silk worms that were used to construct intricate and unusual structures in which we might live or work. Antonelli went on to say design should have a political dimension. A project she presented reflected on how we might construct Donald Trump’s proposed border wall. What if there were large teeter-totters

This design for the U.S. Mexico Border Wall, features a teeter-totter that children on both sides of the ‘fence’ can ride together.

build into the fence that children on both sides of the border could simultaneously ride? Wouldn’t that change the meaning of a border wall from exclusion to cooperation? Design should be visionary and provide possibilities, she continued. She described a family portrait project that featured a gay couple and their two possible children, which was created using Photoshop and based on their images and DNA profiles, so they could get a visual sense of what their future family together might look like. Antonelli said design should be responsible. One way, is through mining for old, lost techniques or skills, like Italian methods of ceramics that have been replaced by mass production. Another way can be seen in a prison in Norway that was designed to create buildings, walls and living quarters more conducive to prisoner reform than suffering and punishment. In yet another project, a circular, rolling mine detector that resembled a beautiful sculpture was built by a man who played around mine fields as a child. During the Q&A portion of the evening, a woman commented, “When I studied design some 60 years ago, everything was male-oriented. It is so refreshing to see that

Donald Norman you’ve included the woman’s perspective on design.” Another added, “Antonelli’s lecture was designed to make you question your own concepts of design and to think more about it.” Some said they were disappointed that Antonelli did not go more into the future of design — as in the type of clothing, cars or houses people might desire to own in the future. However, Antonelli made it clear she is more interested in the “frontiers” of design rather than the “future” of design, which she said, “is more akin to science fiction.” “My job,” she concluded, “is identifying the best of new and contemporary design and then presenting it in an artistic way for the appreciation of the public.”
