‘No Selfies with Seals’

Parks & Beaches hears of more pinniped signs posted BY ASHLEY MACKIN eading up to the installation last week of a prominent new sign at La Jolla Cove that provides facts and issues warnings about seals and sea lions, new signs were also posted at South Casa Beach (next to Children’s Pool) to advise visitors about appropriate ways for humans to interact with marine mammals. The South Casa Beach signage went up — with one set of signs at the top of the stairs that lead to the beach, and another set of the same signs about half way down the stairs — in early March. The Cove sign went up March 24. A discussion about the signs was held during the public comment period of the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group meeting on March 27. Diver John Leek brought the signs to the board’s attention and opined that they may guilt beach-goers from entering the beach to avoid getting near the seals resting there. There is an area where harbor seals haul out and give birth a few feet away at Children’s Pool, but because seals reportedly prefer space, some have begun also hauling out at South Casa Beach. Leek said with messages such as, “Mother seals may abandon their SEE SEALS SIGN, A6

High school track access hopefuls take issue to local groups La Jolla Parks & Beaches hears pleas for restored public use

Soccer player Devin

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Proponents of restoring public access to the recently renovated La Jolla High School athletic facility are taking their pleas to La Jolla’s community advisory groups for support, and started with the March 27 La Jolla Parks & Beaches meeting. The track and field have been closed to the public since the start of the fall 2016 sports season, following more than a year of construction to upgrade the athletic facility. Individuals who use the track for recreational running, jogging and walking — as well as pick-up athletic groups — have met with La Jolla High

Podhorsky said, “We want to make sure we are an integral part of the community, but partnership is a two-way street. The struggle we’re having is that we have rules in place and people aren’t following them. We have and have had people riding bikes on the track and bringing their dogs (dogs are not allowed on campus). What we’ve had to do is have our PE teachers go out at 7 a.m. and make sure there is no dog waste,” he said. To ensure the track and field are being used appropriately, Podhorsky said a facilities manager would have to be on hand, but with that comes a cost. So while those who want to use the facility (when not in use by the school) still have to rent it, he said they could do so at a reduced cost to just cover paying the facilities manager.

Study shows La Jolla beaches may disappear in a century BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN University of Illinois Engineering professor Sean Vitousek, author of the research paper, “A model integrating longshore and cross-shore processes for predicting long-term shoreline response to climate change,” told La Jolla Light the computer model he developed for the study shows La Jolla’s sandy beaches will likely disappear in the coming years. “A lot of the beaches in La Jolla Shores and going north to Torrey Pines Reserve tend to disappear from erosion in 50 to 100 years, meaning that the shoreline is water all the way up to the cliff or the infrastructure in the area,” he said. The study, developed throughout the three years Vitousek was a post-doctoral student at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), presents a model predicting shoreline erosion with limited human intervention in Southern California. According to the obtained data, 31 to 67 percent of area beaches may be completely eroded by the year 2100 under scenarios of 3 to 6.5 feet of sea-level rise. La Jolla Shores may be one of the most affected beaches in San Diego County, he said, “(Because it) already experiences really big seasonal changes; in the winter time with big waves it gets very eroded, and in the summer it recovers and accretes sand when the waves are smaller to a much wider beach position. But when you add sea-level rise on top of this seasonal cycle, (you get) a shoreline that continuously erodes.” SEE BEACH EROSION, A27

SEAN VITOUSEK

In this graphic, the green line shows the initial shoreline of the study; the red line the predicted shoreline for Jan 1, 2100; the yellow area the margin of error; and the red area the margin of error plus the cyclical winter erosion after an El Niño year. ‘This graphic shows that in a lot of cases, that red line comes right up to the beach infrastructure, like in the parking lot, and if you go south, the red line goes all the way to the infrastructure by the La Jolla Shores Hotel and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Essentially, this is predicting no beach, all water,’ explained research engineer Sean Vitousek.

4.45-acre Shores site to be subdivided into eight lots Permit reviewers hear presentation on the plans

ALCORN & BENTON ARCHITECTS

Site elevations of two lots as planned for the 8280 Calle del Cielo subdivision and development.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A project to demolish an existing home and subdivide its 4.45-acre site in the heart of The Shores brought unprecedented attendance to the March 28 meeting of La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee (PRC). “There’s a lot of attention on this property,” project architect Paul Benton began. “A lot of us have enjoyed looking at it as an open site, but now it’s time to talk about how to subdivide it.” He made it clear that the presentation was an information-only one, seeking public input and subject to changes. The 8280 Calle del Cielo site is east of La Jolla Shores Drive and south of Calle del Oro, at the end of a cul-de-sac. Benton’s plan is to subdivide the land into eight, approximately half-acre lots, seven of which would have access from Calle del Cielo and the eighth from Calle Frescota, a private street off La Jolla Shores Drive.

The developer proposes to grade the parcel and build a road extending Calle del Cielo first, and then construct the individual, custom houses once buyers are identified. This plan was unsettling to some of the more than 30 community members in attendance. “What we’re going for is a Coastal Development Permit for these houses,” Benton explained. “They’ll be 7,500 square feet, with grading and landscaping. And as we meet the individual buyers we will tell them, ‘You can make small changes in the appearance (or configuration) and start construction in four months, or you can come back to the coastal development process and maybe, a year later, start construction.’ I can’t imagine who would prefer that.”

Drainage issues

Area neighbors brought their concerns about drainage to the committee. Architect Tony Crisafi, in charge of the project’s civil engineering, explained the details of the plan to reduce runoff. “Right now (the runoff) runs straight off,

but what we’re trying to do is capture it and run it through these bio-retention basins that slow the velocity down, and then it will overflow into this larger pipe and be emitted at the street,” he said. A 14-inch pipe is in the plans to discharge the stormwater onto Calle Frescota, 30 feet before it reaches La Jolla Shores. Resident Leanne McDougale expressed her distress to hear the location of the pipe. “I think that’s right where my house is!” she said. Benton replied, “I know it feels like a 14-inch pipe is a firehose coming right at you, but the reason (we do that) is we don’t want to create the puddle that’s occurring on the middle of (Calle Frescota). We’re going to get the runoff to La Jolla Shores Drive.” He added that the location where the pipe discharges would be calculated to prevent flooding and give runoff time to disperse over the hardscape before it reaches La Jolla Shores Drive. Special paving and other efforts to increase the permeable areas on the property, to further reduce runoff, are included in the project.

A gated community?

Coming into the meeting, the plans called for an extension of the public access street, Calle del Cielo, but community input made Benton reconsider this option. Lynn Shenk, who resides on Vallecitos Court in one of the properties adjacent to the development, asked, “Is there going to be beach parking on that road?” By the end of the meeting Benton clarified that no parking would be allowed on the road extension because it’s considered a “fire lane.” He asked residents if they would feel better if the development was fenced off from Calle del Cielo, and when they answered, “Yes,” he said, “Thank you, this is why we’re having this meeting.”

Landscaping

Only one home now stands on the property, and the site is filled with vegetation. According to project landscape architect Jim Neri, “it’s like a nice little slice of old California,” with eucalyptus trees. “What we’re planning on doing is maintaining a lot of those plants around the

Architect Paul Benton explains his plans for the 8280 Paseo del Cielo subdivision.

The presentation on a proposed eight-lot subdivision in La Jolla Shores draws a standing-room-only crowd to the Permit Review Committee meeting, March 28 at the Rec Center. perimeter as a buffer between the neighbors. And to keep that feel, we’re using mostly Australian non-invasive plants, mixed with some of our native plants, and maybe throwing in a few South African plants just for fun to create the very drought-tolerant but appropriate landscape,” he explained.

Property setbacks

During his presentation, Benton said the setbacks in La Jolla Shores “can be as little as 4 to 5 feet, but we’re providing 10 feet (with the adjacent properties). Internally, we have reduced setbacks, because we’re talking

about our own properties.” By the end of public comment, former PRC chair Phil Merten expressed disagreement with this notion. “I want you to bear in mind that when (the La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance) talks about the building setbacks being in conformity with those in the vicinity, for decades that’s been interpreted as when you go on a site, you look at the property next door. If it’s set back 4 feet from the property line, you’re welcome to set back 4 feet. But if the property is set back 10 feet, or 20 feet, then you’re obligated to be in general

conformity with that property and set back the same distance.” Thanking the public for their attendance and comments, Benton finished his presentation without setting a date to return to the committee for the formal review process.

In other PRC news: ■ 8247 Paseo del Ocaso: A second information-only presentation was heard by PRC members for a project to build a single-family residence on Paseo del Ocaso.

The architect, who said he had previously met with area neighbors, hinted at the possibility of going at it through the “50 percent remodel” exception granted by the City. Real estate agent Peggy Davis opposed the idea insisting there is termite and mold damage to the property that would require more than 50 percent to repair, and the plans to build a basement could “compromise the investment.” Committee members also objected to the proposed design, claiming it made the building look “commercial” rather than “residential.”

FROM SEALS SIGN, A1 pups (if you get too close),” this implies that “any decent person would stay off the beach, so you are threatened and cajoled,” he said. Leek noted the signs are in three languages, and bear the emblem of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), but not the City of San Diego. LJP&B member Jane Reldan explained to him that, “There is a federal program by NOAA to discourage people from taking ‘selfies’ with seals up and down the coast, and this is part of their outreach. The crowding and photos with the animals is not in the public’s best interest. I don’t understand what the objection is to these signs.” Reldan added, “I think the signs were put up by NOAA in response to the number of complaints that have emanated from the activity down there.” NOAA stranding coordinator Justin Viezbicke, who was not at the meeting, later verified to La Jolla Light that NOAA has received videos and other documentation from concerned citizens that people at South Casa Beach are getting too close to the seals there. “We’re trying to change that behavior and make it known that is it not OK to touch seals,” Viezbicke said. “This is the first time we’ve posted those signs there, and we’ve found (signage) is one of the effective tools we have to educate people.” He added that the signage there has been posted in different versions. First, they were printed out and laminated; then the City of San Diego worked with NOAA to post the more “permanent” signs, which currently stand.

Parks & Beaches treasurer Sally Miller talks about the group’s new donations policy.

La Jolla Parks & Beaches members Bob Evans and Marie Hunrichs at the March 27 meeting “We’re going to see how effective it is … and then we’re going to talk to the City about the possibility of more signs to educate people before they get onto the beach. We are also working on getting education tables filled with animals skulls and pelts, so visitors can have that textile experience and educate themselves in a way that is better for the animals.”

should be non-refundable. My argument was, if we are going to ask people for money for a specific project, it’s not ethical of us to move it to another project if for some reason we don’t use it, without the consent of the donor.” LJP&B treasurer Sally Miller said, “Nearly all the donations we get are for specific projects. We have only received two donations to the general fund.” The new policy was largely agreed upon, save for one section that addresses refunds, which was presented for full review and vote at the March meeting. It reads: “Except as hereafter provided, all donations to LJP&B are non-refundable. In cases where an approved project acquires replacement funds or the project is abandoned, and there are unexpended donations of $1000 or more which have been designated by the donor(s) to support that project, the chair of the working group for that project shall contact

In other LJP&B news: ■ Donations policy revised: One of LJP&B’s roles is to raise funds for capital projects, some of which are taken over by the City (such as the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project) or have funds leftover once completed. Following one request for a donation refund, the board decided to revise its donation policy. Member Mary Ellen Morgan explained, “We had a discussion that all donations

those donor(s) with a request that the donations will be reallocated to a replacement project or the LJP&B general fund. In the event a donor requests a refund, the chair shall calculate project expenses previously debited from such donation and pro-rate the balance to the donor.” Noting the City Attorney would need to review the policy and approve it, the board voted to add the new verbiage to the board’s larger donation policy. ■ New Coast Boulevard stairs: Maurico Medina, representing City Council member Barbara Bry, reported that the project to reinstate the staircase at 100 Coast Blvd. is about to begin. “I spoke with the project manager and the start date for construction is the week of April 17 — they don’t have a specific start date — and they expect, weather permitting, to be done with construction 6-8 weeks thereafter,” he said.

At the end of 2015, a strong storm obliterated the staircase that leads to a beach area known as The Horseshoe near 100 Coast Blvd., and the access was fenced off. After being declared an emergency in July 2016, the City attempted to collaborate with a nearby homeowners association to get the stairs put in place, but discovered a cavity in the seawall at the base of the stairs, which

posed a problem. Rather than wait for the seawall cavity to be repaired, Medina said, “The City is building a foundation for the stairs that is not against the sea wall, it’s detachable, so we can move forward.” — La Jolla Parks and Beaches next meets 4 p.m. Monday, April 24 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.com

SeaWorld agents rescue one abandoned harbor seal pup at La Jolla Children’s Pool, during the 2017 pupping season.

1 seal rescue, 4 deaths to date during 2017 pupping season BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A harbor seal mother and her pup were being harassed by beach-goers March 22 at South Casa Beach. That scene repeats daily at the La Jolla enclave, only a few feet away from Children’s Pool, where the seals (by City law) have the shore to themselves during pupping season (Dec. 15 to May 15). Seal Society of San Diego volunteer Ellen Shively told La Jolla Light that

during the process of getting the Children’s Pool beach closure, they thought that would be enough space for the seals. “But what’s happened is some of the seals were born on South Casa Beach, so when they grow up and have their own first seal pup, they go back to the place where they were born.” In South Casa Beach, the unprotected seals are constantly harassed by visitors.

Reflections on the Past 100 Days

New City Council member Bry talks to home crowd BY ASHLEY MACKIN A hair past her 100th day in office, District 1 City Council member and La Jolla resident, Barbara Bry, spoke to guests at La Jolla Community Center, March 29, as part of its Distinguished Speaker series. Bry was sworn in Dec. 12, 2016. At the Community Center, Bry discussed her life, her priorities at City Hall, what she has accomplished thus far, and what La Jollans can expect in the coming weeks and months. “It’s going to be a challenge to do everything we want to do when we want to do it,” she said. “How can we do more with what looks like less? It’s going to take a business mind and it is my mission to bring that entrepreneurial mind to City Hall so we can get things done for the community, and to expand what is do-able for the betterment of my district and the entire City of San Diego.” Making good on her campaign promise to look into regulations for short-term vacation rentals, Bry asked in her first 100 days, for a legal opinion — in writing — from City Attorney Mara Elliott about whether the practice of renting out one’s home short-term is allowed under the San Diego Municipal Code. On March 15, Elliott issued that opinion. “She put out a memo saying that short-term vacation rentals are illegal,” Bry

“

It’s going to be a challenge to do everything we want to do when we want to do it. How can we do more with what looks like less? It’s going to take a business mind and it is my mission to bring that entrepreneurial mind to City Hall.

”

— Barbara Bry District 1 San Diego City Council member reported. “We have a permissible zoning code, which means unless something is specifically listed, it is illegal. This opinion is a very important first step toward effective regulation of the industry.” In the next few months, Bry added, the San Diego City Council will be presented with recommendations to regulate rentals in

residential neighborhoods, and she encouraged community involvement in the form of writing letters and making phone calls to City Hall with residents’ concerns. Bry’s position on short-term rentals, she said, is, “I’m fine if you rent out your primary residence when you go on vacation, I support renting a granny flat if it is on the

ASHLEY MACKIN

same site as your primary residence and I support renting a room if you are on site. What I’m against is absentee investors buying up single-family homes in residential neighborhoods and turning them into what I call mini-Marriott’s.” Another issue in La Jolla on which Bry will focus is the continuation of the Torrey

ASHLEY MACKIN

A packed house fills La Jolla Community Center, March 29, to hear District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry speak about local issues. Pines Road Corridor Project, for which she’s discovered there is money available in the 2018 and 2019 fiscal year budgets. She said she has a meeting scheduled to discuss the specific next steps. The Corridor Project’s completed Phase 1 made the north side of Torrey Pines Road more pedestrian-friendly with the construction of a sidewalk on the south side between Calle Juela and Roseland Drive that has curb ramps on each end. The yet-to-begin Phase 2 would see the installation of a pedestrian-activated crosswalk across Torrey Pines Road mid-block between Amalfi Street and Princess Street, and the installation of an asphalt concrete overlay, a buffered bike lane and a non-raised, decorative median. Bry also pledged to continue working to resolve the “stench” at La Jolla Cove, and said a Coastal Management Plan was being developed that would hopefully offer a solution soon. “I’ve already had several meetings with the Mayor about this plan, the importance of completing this plan and getting it out to the community,” she said. “I’m hopeful that something will be released in the next few weeks. I’ve seen a draft of the plan, but it is not final yet, so I cannot say more tonight.” Bry was asked several times after about seal and sea lion issues, but continued to say the answer lies in the Coastal Management Plan.

Citywide budget

Offering some insight into the City’s budget process, she said her next major project would be tackling the budget. “We’re going into budget season right now … the Mayor has asked each City department to develop a budget that is 3.5 percent less than they spent last year,” she said, adding her budget priorities are assuring adequate funds for public safety. “I

want to make sure we have the funds to fill the approximate 180 police officer vacancies, and (additionally) there is a new piece of legislation that requires police officers across the state collect certain data when they stop people, and I want to make sure we have the technology, probably an app, to implement this effectively.” Next year, when San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman retires (as part of the City’s Deferred Retirement Option Plan, which states she must retire by March 2018, per the City’s pension system), Bry said she would like there to be funding for a nationwide search for a new chief. On April 14, Bry said San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer will present a budget for the City Council’s independent budget analyst to review. In early May, the City Council starts two weeks of budget hearings, including one in the local communities, where the public can comment. “This is the time to let us know what’s on your mind,” she said, adding that the final budget is issued in June. Although more than half of Bry’s talk was dedicated to hearing from constituents, the response from the audience was mixed, with some saying they would have liked to hear more answers than just offer their thoughts. Richard Wolf said, “We have problems with the seals, with the roads, with police protection, just about everything you can think of … I thought it was great that she came, but she evaded every issue.” However, another attendee said it was, “wonderful that she spoke” and “I think it’s great that she listens.” ■ District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry can be reached at (619) 236-6611 or barbarabry@sandiego.gov

The latest phase of La Jolla YMCA’s current capital improvement project has views to the recently opened Ann Woolley Aquatics Center.

The new construction will also feature spacious new locker rooms, a new Child Watch center, a kitchen, an intergenerational center and community space.

La Jolla Y construction project advances on schedule BY MARIA JOSE DURAN ith an August opening in the works, La Jolla

YMCA is halfway through construction of its new Dan McKinney Family Center on the 8355

Cliffridge Ave. campus. According to YMCA staff, the construction is right on schedule. Once the new facility opens, the current wellness center will move to the new building and the old building will undergo renovation. Sue Ball, regional vice president for the YMCA of San Diego county, said in a press release, “The expansion and renovation of our branch (a $15.5 million project) will allow us to serve thousands more children and adults for the next 50 years, many of whom are on financial assistance, giving them more opportunities to grow in spirit, mind and body.”

The Dan McKinney Family YMCA facility is set to open its doors in August.

FROM TRACK ACCESS, A1 Unwilling to pay the proposed rentals fees, soccer player Devin Kostrzewski, who used the field for weekend pick-up games, said he is reaching out to raise awareness and support for opening the facility to the community for free. “As far as running tracks and large green spaces, there isn’t really anywhere else to go unless you leave the area,” he said. “The first complaint we had levied against us was trash being left behind, so we organized a trash pick up on the field, which was littered with more school papers and lunch items than with what we brought. “We barely use the field compared to school usage, so it doesn’t seem right that we were asked to pay thousands of dollars a year (in rental fees) to use the facility for a few hours on weekends when the school is not using it.”

Pay to play

Debora Beaver, SDUSD Real Estate Specialist, said costs associated with the La Jolla High School track and field include: $53.50 to rent the field, $43 per hour for a facilities manager (three hour minimum) and $40 per hour for a custodian. Should the group think it would not need restroom facilities, the latter fee could be waived. Kostrzewski reported that the level of security at the field varies, with the gate sometimes being padlocked and chained; or the tennis court gate is left open, leading some to think the campus can be accessed that way; and other times the gate is left wide open. When they are able to access the field, “We’ve been harassed or told to leave

Recreational rules for La Jolla High School track ■ The posted ‘Guidelines for Recreational Runners’ remind users ‘This facility managed by La Jolla High School. Organized use without permission is prohibited. Scheduling information, contact La Jolla High: (858) 454-3081.’ The rules are: • Runners and walkers are to use lanes 4, 5 and 6 • Proper athletic training shoes only — no spikes • Bicycles, strollers, skateboards, inline skates and all other wheeled vehicles are prohibited

• No dogs allowed anywhere on the La Jolla High campus ASHLEY MACKIN • Recreational use is not permitted during scheduled games, meets and other school-approved This sign posted at La Jolla activities High School explains the • (The) public must leave the premises if directed to rules for recreational runners. do so by a school representative. • Surveillance cameras are in operation. Repeated infractions of guidelines may result in individuals being banned or the track being permanently closed. • Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining the LJHS track as a public resource. by school officials. We’ve had security guards ask us to leave, the police have been called,” he said. He argued that because the athletic facility’s $12-million renovation was funded through Proposition S and Z, bond measures passed by San Diego voters in 2008 and 2012 respectively, the track should be open to the public for free. Some members of LJP&B agree.

will protect and can take ownership (ensuring it is being used properly) if they can access it.” In terms of LJP&B action, member Tom Brady suggested “marching down to the school board” to plead their case, while member Mary Ellen Morgan said the proponents of track use should “make the rounds at all the community meetings,” such as La Jolla Town Council, “and get the drums beating on this.”

Merryweather suggested the proponents write a letter on behalf of LJP&B to sign and send to the City. “I live two blocks from the high school and we’ve always used the facilities — the baseball fields, the tennis courts, the track, everything,” she said. “The fact that now they are saying no one can use it is, to me, ridiculous.” Member John Shannon added, “I can understand having rules such as no dogs and the school’s need to take care of the facility, but people who use the facilities

The closure comes in the midst of a partnership between the City of San Diego and the SDUSD to make more public parks out of public school facilities in areas that are considered “park deprived.” Known as Play All Day, the partnership will take 32 public school campuses and make them into new joint-use parks. La Jolla is not one of the campuses being considered. However, Kostrzewski suggested it sends a mixed message — touting the need for parks and the benefit of using existing facilities to create them, while La Jolla High School is closing its gates to the public. Further, some public access proponents report “weak” signage at the athletic fields to explain what’s allowed on the track, arguing that installing more prevalent signs would be an inexpensive way to let people know what is acceptable use, and would reduce violations. There is currently a small sign that reads “No Dogs Allowed” next to a gate, and another that outlines the “Guidelines for Recreational Runners” posted on the fence at the Fay Avenue/Coggan Pool parking lot.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

This pothole and cracks along Coast Boulevard caused a skateboarding accident last week and remains unrepaired.

Dangerous pothole remains on Coast Blvd. A skateboarder sustained a head injury March 30 when he hit a gaping pothole on Coast Boulevard, it was reported by ABC10News. Eric Nunn, who works in La Jolla, said he couldn’t see the cracks as he rounded a bend, and so suffered a gash to his head and a concussion. On Tuesday, April 4, La Jolla Light visited the scene to report that the pothole (close to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego on Coast Blvd) hadn’t been fixed. To report a pothole call (619) 527-7500 or use the City of San Diego’s Get It Done phone app.

Abalone poacher pays $30K fine A fisherman who illegally caught and removed abalone from the ocean at South La Jolla State Marine Reserve in fall 2015, will pay a $30,000 fine and be barred from ocean fishing in San Diego for three years as part of a plea deal. This is the fourth time San Diego has prosecuted someone for taking or possessing abalone, which has been illegal in California waters south of San Francisco Bay since 1998,

due to dwindling populations of the shellfish. The $30,000 fine paid will be split equally between the state’s Abalone Restoration & Preservation Account and the County of San Diego. Anyone who witnesses unlawful hunting, fishing or pollution may call (888) 334-2258 or send a text message to: TIP411.

Homeowner wakes to intruder, opens fire San Diego Police received a call at 3:58 a.m. Monday, April 3 from a resident of the 3,400 block of Via Pasear, south of Westfield UTC, who had fired his hand gun after being awakened by an intruder in his home. The homeowner told police he saw a light from a flashlight inside his room, so he grabbed his handgun and then noticed someone else inside the house, allegedly a male. He reported firing three rounds with his handgun and the intruder left through the garage, which he had unintentionally left open. Police doesn’t know if the intruder was hit by gunfire. The homowner did not sustain any injuries, and only a nail gun was missing from his house. SDPD is investigating the matter as a burglary. — María José Durán SEE CRIME NEWS, A29

Eyes on the Future

$75M gift kicks off $2B UCSD fundraising campaign FROM UCSD REPORTS ain that flows upward. Robots that take selfies. 3D printing that saves lives. These are just a sampling of the innovations showcased at an invitation-only celebration of the technology developed at UC San Diego, March 25 at RIMAC Arena. The event launched the Campaign for UC San Diego, a $2 billion fundraising effort “to transform the student experience, our campus and the world.” Computer science alumnus Taner Halicioglu kicked off the Campaign with a $75 million gift. He said his undergraduate experience, along with a desire to help students while also promoting the field of data science, is what led him to make the

largest alumni gift the campus has ever received to establish the Halicioglu Institute for Data Science at UCSD. “Data science touches so many areas — biology, physics, chemistry, medicine, computer science, math,” said Halicioglu. He cites personalized medicine as an example of what could be accomplished with data science. By examining an individual’s genetic makeup and other factors, a course of treatment could be developed targeted specifically for that individual. If a drug works on one person with an illness, will it work on another person with the same illness? It may depend on factors such as a person’s metabolism or other traits.

“This is all a data problem, ultimately. Gathering and storing all this information, analyzing it, finding correlations and causes to determine how things are related and what that reveals, this is what data science can do,” he said. Halicioglu graduated with a bachelor’s degree in computer science in 1996. He went on to work for Loudcloud and eBay before landing at Facebook in October 2004, less than a year after the company was founded. Halicioglu was Facebook’s first full-time hire. As a software and operations engineer, he was instrumental in developing hardware infrastructure that enabled the social network’s explosive growth. The company now has about 1.8

billion active users worldwide. He left Facebook in 2009 and served as a reliability engineer at Blizzard Entertainment before returning to UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering in 2013 as a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering. Halicioglu remains active in industry sectors as an advisor and investor in San Diego area start-ups. The Campaign began with a silent phase in July 2012. Since then more than $1.2 billion has been raised. Honorary chairs include Joan and Irwin Jacobs, Ernest Rady and Denny Sanford. Chair of the Campaign’s international leadership committee is alumnus Ken Kroner. — Learn more at campaign.ucsd.edu

FROM SEALS, A7 Justin Viezbicke, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) stranding coordinator, said the federal agency requests that people show some “courtesy” to the animals. “Taking selfies with the seals can result in problems, so we’re asking people to be more respectful and not get too close.” Since the Marine Mammal Protection Act was enacted in 1972, all marine mammals are protected by federal law, regardless of where they haul out. However, NOAA has no power of enforcement. This year, no animals have been considered abandoned at South Casa Beach, but five pups were found starving at the nearby Children’s Pool. When one of these cases arises, NOAA coordinates with the San Diego County designated agent for marine mammal rescues, SeaWorld Rescue. “For Children’s Pool, we’ve set up a case-by-case authorization, and it depends on a number of factors,” Viezbicke said. “We need a minimum 48-hour watch to determine if the pup is really abandoned. We don’t want to rush down there and take a pup from the beach if the mother is still there … In particular, on that beach, we don’t want to go down there and cause any disturbance because there’s potential for animals to get trampled or mothers and pups to be separated.” SeaWorld lead rescue coordinator Jody Westberg told the Light, “If it’s decided there’s potential that a pup has been abandoned, the next thing we’re going to do is look at the entire colony or rookery of animals.” She said SeaWorld would never put the entire Children’s Pool colony at risk to save one animal. She explained, “These animals don’t understand that we’re here to help them, so the first thing they’re going to do is either fight or flight, and with harbor seals, the majority of the time it’s flight. They’re going to rush to the water, putting other animals at risk.” Westberg confirmed there was one harbor seal pup rescued this pupping season from Children’s Pool.

The Sierra Cacachilas wandering spider was recently discovered in Baja California Sur, Mexico. It measures about 1.06-inches COURTESY long.

Naturalists identify new spider species

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

Visitors can be seen harassing harbor seals recently at South Casa Beach in La Jolla.

new species of large cave-dwelling spider, the Sierra Cacachilas wandering spider (Califorctenus cacachilensis), has been discovered by researchers at the San Diego Natural History Museum (SDNHM), as well as experts from Mexico and Brazil. Published in the March 2017 issue of Zootaxa, a peer-reviewed journal, this international study has brought not only a new species of spider to the scientific community and the world, but also a new genus (Califorctenus). Califorctenus cacachilensis is in the same group of spiders (Family Ctenidae) as the notoriously highly venomous Brazilian wandering spider. Said Jim Berrian, field entomologist at the SDNHM and one of the authors describing the new species, “I got bit while handling a live specimen of Califorctenus cacachilensis and I’m still alive. We haven’t analyzed the toxicity of the venom, but most wandering spiders are not as dangerous as the Brazilian wandering spider.” Many are unaware, but most insects and spiders on the planet have yet to be discovered. There are about 1.1 million species of insects and spiders on Earth to which scientists have given names, but most researchers estimate that there are 2-5 million that remain undescribed, according to the SDNHM.

“SeaWorld did get permission from NOAA to take this pup and move it back onto the beach in hopes that it would reunite with its mother. Unfortunately, that mother and pup did not reunite, and that pup found its way into a rocky crevice. Now, this was an area in which SeaWorld found we could be very stealth and try to rescue the pup without disrupting the rest of the animals,” she said, adding that the pup is now developing in one of SeaWorld’s rescue facilities and will be released into the wild when appropriate. Many visitors mistake a starving pup for one that’s being weaned, Westberg explained. “The mothers will wean them at 4-6 weeks of age. What that means is we’re going to see these pups with this amazing, robust fat layer, start losing weight, and they will continue to vocalize for their mother. But this process is natural, and eventually, they’re going to learn how to (find food and eat) on their own and they’re going to gain all that weight back.” ■ To report a seal in distress: Call the SeaWorld Animal Rescue Hotline at (800) 541-SEAL.

La Jolla resident and environmental scientist-turned-jewelry designer Suzanne Deeb Naboulsi in her Timeless Treasures store at 7703 Fay Ave.

A love for jewelry design leads to Timeless Treasures

BY DAVID L. CODDON Suzanne Deeb Naboulsi’s concern for the welfare of the environment has carried over from one career to another, and what might seem an unlikely transition isn’t really unlikely at all. For 13 years, Deeb Naboulsi was a certified assessor in the environmental protection department of Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil company of Saudi Arabia. “I was following up on all kinds of surveys and collecting findings about whatever was harming the environment,” recalled Deeb Naboulsi, whose husband was a Saudi Aramco executive. When her husband decided to retire after 21 years with the company, Deeb Naboulsi made a decision of her own: to go into the jewelry business. “Although I had a couple of opportunities to pursue my career in terms of environmental science,” she said, “I felt it was time to do something that I loved, that I have a passion for, which is jewelry.” That, and her son’s acceptance to The Bishop’s School, brought Deeb Naboulsi to La Jolla, where in January she acquired her own showroom, Timeless Treasures, the collections of which are grounded in environmentally responsible jewelry making. “I come from a family of jewelers,” she said, recalling her interest in jewelry going all the way back to her childhood. “I used to design my own items and anything that I wore.” Now she’s designing items for a growing following of customers. “We specialize in hand-made jewelry that is high end. We can make anything that the customer wants, too,” said Deeb Naboulsi. “It’s unique. We have items that no one, no jewelry

showroom, has.” The environmental connection is an important facet of her new career, and it’s reflected in the pieces she sells in her showroom. “I like to use those designers who have a background or who are activists in terms of preserving the environment and helping it,” she said. Among them is Vietnam-born Nina Nguyen. “The reason I chose to have her collection in my showroom is because she cares about the environment,” said Deeb Naboulsi. “She deals with natural, organic stones. She recycles these stones and makes beautiful designs out of them. Fantastic. This way she does two important things: She produces very beautiful designs, plus she helps the environment.” Although Deeb Naboulsi’s Timeless Treasures has only been open a few months, its customers seem drawn most to the diamond collection of Deeb Naboulsi’s own design and to “a collection that I have personally picked from Italy.” For now, she’s running the showroom with just one assistant and, in her words, “I have my hands on everything that is going on.” But Deeb Naboulsi foresees a time in the near future when she may add an employee and, beyond that, when Timeless Treasures becomes a chain of stores.

Since opening its doors three years ago, True Life Center for Wellbeing has helped thousands within the La Jolla community and beyond to recognize their highest potential, discover their most authentic selves, and achieve whole-person health and sustainable wellness. For those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, and more, True Life provides compassionate care and unparalleled support through outpatient psychiatric and psychological services and programs. Dr. Krista Roybal, True Life’s Founder and Executive Medical Director, recognizes mental health conditions as biological, psychological, and spiritual conditions, and not just brain-based diseases. “Often, I see patients presenting with issues like abdominal pain, insomnia, loss of appetite, low libido…comprehensive treatment reveals an undiagnosed root cause to these complaints,” she explains. “By addressing the individual’s whole health, not just a series of symptoms, we are able to not only help these individuals feel better, but also to provide them with a template for complete and sustainable wellness.” True change and deep healing require holistic attention to all aspects of a person’s health – body, mind, and spirit. Anyone who has experienced the physical aches of grief, the sleep disturbances of depression, or the debilitating terror of a panic attack knows that these conditions affect more than just one’s state of mind. Mental health conditions can affect an individual’s entire being. Effective treatment must therefore address the whole being as well. Dr. Roybal created True Life Center with this unique, integrative approach to treatment in mind. Prior to opening True Life, Dr. Roybal spent nearly ten years in private practice, where she oversaw the recovery and healing of countless individuals. She also treated thousands of patients while on the renowned Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla staff, where she served as Co-Medical Director of the Scripps Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program. During this time, her integrative philosophy of practice began to emerge.

The staggering statistics on mental health (an estimated 1 in 4 struggles with some type of mental health condition) suggest that many could benefit from such a thoughtful, comprehensive treatment approach. Yet many of the same individuals are hesitant to seek help because of the stigma associated with mental health problems. “It’s unfortunate that, even with increased awareness and education efforts, there still remains so much shame and cultural stigma associated with mental health and addiction issues,” says Dr. Roybal. “I’ve always believed that the best way to combat shame is with compassion, and it has been so gratifying and humbling to see the positive results of patients who have been on the receiving end of the compassion, expertise, and guidance of the True Life team.” The True Life staff – 21 dedicated professionals and growing – is the heartbeat of the center. The team is composed of multiple psychiatrists, psychologists, and licensed therapists, as well as holistic practitioners including a meditation instructor, fitness director, acupuncturist, nutritional and massage therapists, yoga instructor, and a registered dietitian. Individuals in True Life’s Intensive Outpatient Program have up to eight professionals working to help them meet their physical, psychological, and spiritual goals. These practitioners are in constant communication about each patient’s progress, allowing for concierge-level care and a 360-degree view of patient wellbeing. Treatment centers offering truly holistic, customized, and compassionate care from a collaborative team of dedicated experts are far from “industry standard.” But Dr. Krista Roybal has embraced the opportunity to innovate. In True Life Center, she sees a chance to redefine mental health and addiction treatment. Her hope is that True Life patients are able to redefine the way they view themselves and their unique journey. “Illness, pain and struggle can rule your life,” she says. “Or they can be the gateway to profound healing and lasting change.”

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

OUR READERS WRITE Long-suffering residents fed up with Shores construction project I’m writing to inform everyone concerned about the impact the construction project in The Shores has had on residents. The March 16 edition of La Jolla Light, had a story about tourist confusion at the street closures in The Shores construction area. Mentioned in the article is the La Jolla Shores Association and their repetitive complaint of the loss of business caused by the construction, which is significant. What is always missing in the coverage of this construction is mention of the impact on the residents who are caught up in this mess. I live on Camino Del Oro, just 100 feet from the main construction, and it has been an extremely frustrating and trying experience for more than two months now. While I fully understand the project and the fact that the street was to be torn up and a trench dug, what exasperates me and other residents, is that there is a complete lack of sensitivity for our well-being. Construction activities that could be minimized to save us some sanity are not curbed at all. I have written a series of e-mails with links to videos I’ve taken to the City Engineering Department informing them that the contractor’s practices show blatant disregard for residents’ well-being — jackhammering from 7 a.m., six days a week on cement that could be carted out in larger blocks, trucks blocking driveways, trucks parked at my building with loud generators running. I work at home. My building shakes constantly due to the jackhammering, and with that and the constant noise, dust, trucks and diesel exhaust — I’m literally at the end of my rope. If I shut my windows, my apartment heats up quickly, so I’m stuck just dealing with this. At times, I can barely hear phone calls so my business is taking a hit. When you next report on the impact of The Shores construction project on area businesses, please don’t forget to mention the residents who are living in hell through this. Name withheld by request

Disappointed by bus shelter installation I was so surprised to read in last week’s La Jolla Light that we have a “bus shelter” recently installed on Pearl Street. As long as I can remember in La Jolla, we have always opposed the bus shelter as it is really just a big billboard, and we do not allow billboards in La Jolla, which is why we look different than other communities. We are billboard-free. This placement is a shame and will affect the way La Jolla looks, I have no idea how this slipped by Community Planning. Melinda Merryweather

Nice story on retired barber, Dean Bundell Thank you for a fun story and interview with retired barber Dean Bundell, in the March 23 Light issue.

Congregational Church of La Jolla members gather in the church garden on Cave Street, April 2, for the blessing of the solar panels.

Congregational Church of La Jolla goes solar Two years ago, while planning a centennial celebration, members of the Congregational Church of La Jolla found themselves peering into the future, imagining a meaningful legacy they could impart to future generations. At that moment, a commitment to into tap into the energy of the sun, in order to power the church’s present and future energy needs, took shape. On Sunday, April 2, the congregation gathered in the church sanctuary at 1216 Cave St. to celebrate the installation of the 34 solar panels that will fuel the church’s energy footprint. The ceremony also recognized the big-hearted people whose vision and determination made the project possible, including installer Travis Nixon of Absolutely Electric. Pastor Bear Ride likened the blessing of the solar panels to a ship christening. “We celebrated our continued good stewardship of the Earth by being green and smart. My sermon touched upon how the solar installation will benefit both the church and our planet, as a step

of faithfulness, environmental stewardship and good common sense.” A musical program, featuring the church choir’s rousing rendition of the beloved Beatles classic, “Here Comes the Sun,” and a post-service Champagne reception in the adjacent fellowship hall rounded out the festivities. Dating back to 1889, the church is La Jolla’s oldest faith community. Its covenant is rooted in the worship tradition brought to America by the Pilgrims in the early 1600s. Inspired by the United Church of Christ’s history as a leader of cultural movements advocating for a just and inclusive society, Congregational Church of La Jolla welcomes all people into its church family.

A King Tide floods La Jolla Shores boardwalk, Jan. 12.

DEBORAH SEILER, CALIFORNIA SEA GRANT

FROM BEACH EROSION, A3 Other factors that endanger The Shores are the relative narrowness of the beach and the closeness of development to the shoreline. During El Niño years, most of the sand gets deposited deeper on the ocean’s floor (see bit.ly/SandLaJolla), and the King Tides regularly flood the boardwalk and nearby beach infrastructure. For Vitousek, the King Tides are a representation of what may come in. “The scary thing is if you get 3 to 6.5 feet of sea-level rise, your King Tide becomes your main sea level. Everything on top of that is going to flood the infrastructure,” he said.

Cliff erosion

Vitousek’s colleague at USGS, Patrick Limber, studied the erosion of cliffs in Southern California, and his cliff retreat projections are being reviewed for publication. Using some of Limber’s data, Vitousek updated the Light on the latest predictions for the La Jolla area. “Around Seal Rock (La Jolla Cove), the cliffs have been historically retreating 7.8 inches per year on average,” he said, adding that the more resistant materials of the bluffs (starting at The Cove and going south), slow down coastal retreat. “Whereas the cliffs around Torrey Pines (and Black’s Beach) are softer, and erode at 11.8 inches on average.” Cliffs don’t retreat the same every year, because “the nature of cliffs is that sometimes you have sudden failures, so it’s not always a continuous retreat. Events like El Niño can cause the cliff to erode several meters (in one year),” Vitousek explained. When the effects of sea-level rise are entered in the equation, the bluff retreat rate surges. “Based on Limber’s projection, he’s seen about a doubling of cliff retreat in both La Jolla and Torrey Pines — so in the future, we’ll lose maybe 15.7 inches around La Jolla and 23.6 inches at Torrey Pines,” he said. In an all-natural environment, the cliff erosion would infill the nearby beaches with sand. However, sea walls, retaining walls and other human-made beach infrastructure

The presence of pebbles speaks to the missing sand at Torrey Pines State Beach after an El Niño storm from May 2016. prevent the natural process from taking place. For Vitousek, “The future cliff erosion does not affect the shoreline position. Some of the areas around Torrey Pines and Black’s Beach will probably have some small beach there because of the continuous cliff erosion, but in other areas where there’s no cliffs or they are armored against erosion, the beaches may disappear in a few decades,” he said.

Beach nourishment

The sand acts as a protective layer for the beach infrastructure developments in Southern California. Without the sand, Vitousek said, sea-level rise becomes a much greater threat for flooding areas. “We wanted to do this model to see how our susceptibility to flooding would increase,” he added. A proven solution to the retreat of sandy beaches has been the costly process of beach nourishment, which involves adding large amounts of sand to the eroding beaches. Vitousek did a comparative analysis of beach erosion in beaches that receive nourishment versus others that don’t, and concluded that the ones that received extra sand eroded less. “I would predict that in areas currently experiencing problems — like La Jolla — beach nourishment, although expensive,

would help combat the erosion problem,” he said. Other approaches, like building sea walls may prevent flooding, “but it may cause the beach from disappearing and not coming back.” However, La Jolla Shores is a Marine Protected Area, where beach nourishment is not permitted and would have severe effects on the underwater ecosystem. “That issue is going to be critical in terms of the state of beaches going forward,” Vitousek stated. “In areas that are not Marine-Protected, a solution is: continue to receive the nourishment, spend the money to have the recreation and tourism benefits, and have the protection against flooding. But for areas like The Shores, I believe that it may come to a point where we find a way we can nourish these beaches within the Marine Protected Area and minimize the effects,” he explained. A follow-up project for Vitousek and Limber is to pool their efforts and analyze the combined behavior of sandy shorelines and nearby cliffs. “Because the material eroded from Torrey Pines cliffs is distributed along the coastline, maybe in that case we could nourish the beach on an area that’s not protected, and the natural movement of the sand may replenish the beach in the Marine

Protected Area,” he said. Beach nourishment is not permanent, Vitousek said, “It may last for a few years, maybe 10 ... but it’s effective at building a shoreline.”

How it’s calculated

Many scientists have calculated the effects of coastal erosion, wave action and sea-level rise before. What makes this model different is it combines the three disciplines and applies a “data assimilation” technique for better results. “Data assimilation is a method wherein we take historical shoreline position data to train the model so it can learn about the behavior based on observation, and adjust to come up with a more accurate modeling, based on historical data. After that model is trained, we apply future conditions and sea-level rise to predict what’s going to happen. This is a new approach, but it takes existing models developed in the area,” Vitousek explained. He added the study benefited from many models developed in the past, such as M. Yates “Equilibrium shoreline response: Observations and modeling” or André Doria’s “Observations and modeling of San Diego beaches during El Niño.”

FROM HISTORICAL BOARD, A8 confirmation by the City Council. As for the board chair, the Mayor must appoint one in March. The code reads, “If the Mayor has not designated a chairperson by April 15, the Board shall elect a chairperson from among its members.” Following this rule, Coyle was elected chair by her fellow board members seven months ago. “I want to thank Courtney for filling in for us, I personally think La Jolla resident she’s doing an Courtney Coyle unbelievably great served as Historical job,” McCullough Resources Board chair continued. He for seven months. proposed that the item to confirm Coyle as chair be withdrawn from the agenda, but member Priscilla Berge protested. “Can the item on the agenda be addressed in terms of a motion of appreciation for Coyle’s service?” Berge asked. “She was elected by the board at a time when the Mayor was not able (to do it) and I think it would be nice to have something in our minutes rather than just a blanket withdrawn.” Berge, the most veteran member of the HRB board, will also step down, as was announced during the meeting. Her motion to convey appreciation for Coyle’s service passed 5-0-1. During public comment, meeting attendees

The 1968 Richard Lareau-designed home at 5645 Taft Ave. in Bird Rock was designated ‘historical’ at the March 23 meeting of the Historical Resources Board. expressed concern over the unexpected chair change. Former board member and Native American advocate Abel Silvas, called the move “a blow to the heart” for Native Americans. “I had a whole speech about confidence in Courtney Coyle. (She) has supported a lot of projects within the San Diego city limits and with the (HRB’s) Archeological Subcommittee. I’m a little thrown back by this. I’ll go back to my communities and explain it, and maybe I’ll be back next month with a reply.” Preservationist David Swarens added, “Ms. Coyle was a real chair, not a substitute chair,

and I hope we don’t diminish her service in any way. I would like to say that Ms. Coyle has guided the board with professionalism and balance, which has served the community and the City very well during her tenure.” Coyle accepted the Second Vice-Chair position. Board member Tim Hutter will be the HRB’s First Vice-Chair.

Bird Rock home ‘historical’

The Michael and Clara Brown house at 5645 Taft Ave. in Bird Rock was designated “historical” during the meeting, under

Criterion C, for its embodiment of the Post-and-Beam architectural style. The 1968 Richard Lareau-designed home was originally nominated as representative of the Modern “Organic Geometric” style, but board member Berge pulled the item from the consent agenda to correct the record. “It has the horizontal massing, it has the shallow-pitched roof with deep overhangs, the fix wood windows, the wooden planks and sidings as part of an exterior finish, and an absence of decorations (of the Post-and-Beam style) … It doesn’t have the motifs you expect to see with Organic Geometric,” she said. The applicant, who in 2016 built a two-story addition in the back reflecting the Secretary of Interior Standards to pursue historical designation, agreed with the terminology change. Board member Matthew Winter said he supported the designation, adding, “One of the troubles, when you hit Mid-Century Modern, (is that) these styles can all blend together.” Pitman agreed with the designation but, as a landscape architect, requested more information about property landscaping changes in the future. “There’s been some landscape work done to this house, and I’m happy to hear the (front) tree is original, but we need to give equal time to these kinds of revisions as we do to the façade and the addition,” he concluded. — The next HRB meeting will be April 27 at City Concourse North Terrace Rooms, Civic Plaza.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS (CONTINUED) FROM CRIME NEWS, A15

Lifeguards rescue dog at La Jolla’s Wipeout Beach A medium-sized black-and-white spotted dog was rescued by lifeguards from Wipeout Beach in La Jolla, April 3. Lifeguard lieutenant Andy Lerum told La Jolla Light they received the call at 1:20 a.m. “The situation was the dog owner and dog were at Wipeout Beach, which is a pocket beach, and waves and tide were picking up. It caused the situation where they couldn’t leave the beach without being swept up by the waves,” he said. The area where they were trapped was reportedly “very steep” and the dog was unable to climb up the cliff. By the time lifeguards arrived to the rescue site, the dog owner had vacated the area and only the dog was left. “Lifeguards lowered themselves to the area with a rope. It was an 8-foot drop. They made friends with the dog before lifting it up the cliff with help from the rope,” Lerum explained. No injuries resulted from the rescue.

Birch Aquarium debuts ‘Infinity Cube’ of bioluminescence For three months, London-based artist Iyvone Khoo worked alongside Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego scientist Michael Latz to better understand the role of bioluminescence — light produced by living organisms — in the marine environment. They filmed more than six hours of footage of single-celled marine organisms called dinoflagellates reacting to various stimulants, such as the human heartbeat, music, water flow and air pressure. Those videos have become the basis of the Infinity Cube, an exhibit opening April 7 at Birch Aquarium, 2300 Expedition Way in La Jolla. The 8-foot cube, funded by Rick and Patty Elkus, will surround guests in projected and reflected larger-than-life images of bioluminescence accompanied by soundscape. Additional support for the exhibit came from the National Science Foundation. “Through this project, I hope to raise public awareness of how we as a species relate and communicate with our natural world. There are energy, vibrations and songs in everything, one just

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Henrietta Montague Sparks March 16, 1922 - March 28, 2017

La JoLLa — Henrietta was born in Dunlap, Nebraska, as the ninth child of ten, having five brothers and four sisters. The daughter of an Irish immigrant, their first home was a sod house dug in the side of a hill. In time, the family had a post office, general store, mill, cheese factory, icehouse and dance hall, which hosted many famous traveling bands such as the Lawrence Welk Band. She attended assumption High School in Chadron, Nebraska, paying for her tuition and board through cleaning, ironing and working in the kitchen. She also managed to have a lot of fun singing in a traveling choir and dancing. In 1940, she moved to Denver, Colorado, where she met and married Earl Edwin Sparks. She packed and moved 17 times during

Earl’s air Force career, including an overseas move to England in 1957. In 1972, Henrietta made her final move from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, to La Jolla, Ca, in a VW hatchback with two teenage sons and a parakeet, for one reason - she was “tired of the cold.” Henrietta didn’t know a soul in San Diego initially but her years in La Jolla would turn out to be the best of her life.

She was active in the community: Club amistad, the Lunch Bunch, and the Newcomers Club, as well as in her church, St. Brigid’s, serving Sunday donuts, participating in the Bereavement Committee and seasonal homeless shelter, working the shelter at nights in her 80s, no less. She worked for five years at the Rafael Gallery, formerly on Prospect St. Her home in Bird Rock was the hub of life for her many children and grandchildren. With her beloved companion of 25 years, Leo Robin, a man who adored her, she traveled the world over. Leo passed away in 1998 and she missed him every day since. Henrietta is survived by her children, Monty, Dianne, Daniel, and Jack Sparks. Her eldest son, Michael, predeceased her. She was blessed with 9

grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Her granddaughter Danielle predeceased her. Friends and family will always remember “Nana’s” feistiness, positivity, strength of character, “can do” spirit, her deep faith and her tremendous love of family. She was the bedrock of the family and will be greatly missed by many. The family wishes to extend our deepest gratitude to the staff and sisters of the Nazareth House, for the loving care they gave our Mom during her last five years. Services will be held at St. Brigid’s, 4735 Cass Street, San Diego 92109, on Monday, april 10, at 10 a.m. Reception to directly follow at the church.

Taxes rise on cigarettes and vaping devices California voters approved Proposition 56, which increased the excise tax rate on cigarettes and expanded the definition of “tobacco products” to include any type of tobacco, nicotine, little cigars and electronic cigarettes sold in combination with nicotine. On April 1, the cigarette tax rate increased from $0.87 to $2.87 per pack of 20 cigarettes. In addition, the distribution of nicotine delivery devices —including, but not limited to, electronic cigarettes, e-cigars, e-pipes, vape pens, and e-hookahs — sold in combination with substances containing nicotine will be subject to the current tobacco products tax rate of 27.30 percent of the wholesale cost of the product. Nicotine delivery devices sold independently and not in combination with any liquid or substance containing nicotine are not subject to excise tax. This includes any battery, battery charger, carrying case or any other accessory used in the operation of a nicotine delivery device, including nicotine patches.

The Children’s School will host art exhibit The community is invited to the 18th annual Great Artists’ Grande Finale Art Exhibit, 6-8 p.m. Thursday, April 13 at The Children’s School, 2225 Torrey Pines Lane. During a six-week program, students explored the life, work and artistic style of chosen artists through an integrated curriculum of developmentally appropriate activities in language arts, math, social studies, science and art. Much of the content covered emerged from the unique interests of the students. Said art teacher Carrie Difini, “Students thrive in an environment where art is viewed as an adventure and an exploration of ideas and perspective. Since we focused on the process of art rather than the product, our students had only themselves to please as they painted, glued, splattered and sculpted. And by studying the works of great artists, students gained a deeper appreciation for art and its styles and techniques. We are excited to invite families from outside our school community to share in learning more about art through our exhibit.” More details at tcslj.org

Construction crews working on the Avenida de la Playa stormwater infrastructure construction site are reportedly on schedule to finish by the Memorial Day deadline. City of San Diego information officer Alec Philipp told La Jolla Light crews are currently working from east to west completing the walls and deck of the new reinforced infrastructure. “That will continue through mid-April when we pour the street, curb and gutter over the top, which we anticipate will last through late April,” he said. After that, crews will move to reconnecting and testing the water main in early May. The City expects that part of the work to be done by mid-May. “Lastly, we will perform the final street, landscape and hardscape repair before the Memorial Day deadline,” Philipp said. “Please note that our construction timeline can be delayed by inclement weather.”

La Jolla High School robotics team heads to World Championship BY ASHLEY MACKIN he young men of the La Jolla High School robotics team have come a long way in short time. Just one year into the group’s existence, the team is going to the VEX Robotics World Championships, April 19-22 in Louisville, Kentucky. The team qualified for the championship tournament, themed “Starstruck,” and will need to program a robot to fling stars and cubes over a three foot wall into zones of varying points. The team — seniors Franklin Ye, Macky Broido, Jae Yoon Kim and Alex Smith, and sophomore Alex Levine — has been perfecting the robot since September. SEE ROBOTICS, B16

A pilot makes pizza

La Jolla Cultural Partners

hen my engineer husband announced he wanted to make homemade pizza, I recognized a thinly disguised excuse to use the fancy stand mixer that he bought to make cookies for my book event two years ago. This is a man who has never met a gadget he didn’t like. He was dying to use the dough paddle feature. Olof’s baking style is an engineering marvel. When he decided to make five types of Christmas cookies using the old family recipes he employed “a simple application of undergraduate quantitative analysis” (the family recipes included no yield), and FIVE spreadsheets (projected output per recipe, master ingredient list, etc. etc.) We’re pretty used to engineering terms around our house (the kids remember being declared “left turn-capable” in their driving lessons with Olof). But Olof is also a former Air Force pilot so the pilot terms have become part of the family parlance as well. While I would spell out words over the phone like “S as in Sam, E as in elephant,” Olof is strictly NATO Phonetic Alphabet: alphas, bravos, deltas, foxtrots, tangos, whiskeys and zulus. Any project designed by Olof will also have “Ops checks,” traditionally confirming the correct proper operational parameters for aircraft oil pressure, temperature, etc. As it

turns out, they can also be applied to pizza dough. In December, we had acquired a pizza stone (on which you cook a pizza in your oven, to make the crust more crisp) and a pizza peel, a special shovel to insert the pizza onto the stone. But we had used frozen supermarket pizza dough and pizza sauce from a jar. The store-bought dough kept shrinking when we tried to roll it out. An Internet search advised us to let the glutens “rest.” We were hoping that the glutens in our homemade pizza dough would have already had a good night’s sleep and the rolled out dough would stay rolled out which I’m happy to report that it did. In true Olof fashion, the pizza dough effort entailed a three-page post-project documentation entitled “Pizza Dough Apportionment” with subheadings including “Statement of the Problem,” “Factors Bearing on the Problem,” a “Solution” section full of mathematical equations, and, of course, assorted Ops Checks. Alas, the La Jolla Light’s news layout system will not produce formulas with readable subscripts, so I can’t reproduce them here. But if I could, you’d be totally dazzled. It was clear that our dough recipe was going to make more dough than we needed for one

pizza. Some of us might just wing it, but not Olof. Factors Bearing on the Problem included: (i) We cook our pizza on a round stone, 16-inches in diameter. The crust cannot exceed this size. (ii) Inga likes her crust thin and crispy. She’s a little vague about how thin, so I estimate a target thickness [T(subscript c)] = 1/8-inch = .125-inch Olof procured a 6-inch dough cutter from Sur La Table to cut out the dough rounds. As for the Final Problem Statement? How to separate an as yet undetermined volume of pizza dough into equal portions any one of which could be rolled out to a crust 1/8-inch thick and 15-inches in diameter, and the others conveniently frozen. A bunch of formulas later involving Ds (diameters), Ts (thickness), Cs (crusts), Vs (volumes) and even, fittingly, given what we were making, some pi’s, the estimated thickness for each 6-inch round was determined to be 3/4-inch. A footnote noted the problematic nature of the V measurement since the crust was still rising. In Experimental Result, Olof described manufacture of the dough, rolling it out to the pre-determined 3/4-inch thickness, and cutting five equal 6-inch rounds. Scraps were discarded. And now for the Ops Checks: Ops Check 1: Will the four extra rounds fit in a 7-inch diameter freezer bag? After separating them with parchment paper sheets, they slid snuggly into the bag and are now in sub-zero hibernation. Ops Check 2: Will the fifth round roll out to a 15-inch pizza, 1/8-inch thick? Using a well-flowered rolling pin I rolled one round out on the 15-inch parchment paper template. It fit

Olof cuts out precision pizza rounds

INGA

perfectly, reaching the 15-inch edge just as the dough’s thickness reached 1/8-inch. Ops Check 3: Does the homemade dough make good crust? Conclusion: very tasty, but crispier if you remember to start pre-heating the oven and stone at the beginning of the process. Ops Check 4: Can the frozen rounds be thawed and rolled into future crusts? Check scheduled for future accomplishment. Postscript: Ops Check 4 was a Fail. During the freezing process, the dough rounds retained sufficient fluidity that the weight of the stack caused the lower rounds to extrude beyond the intervening parchment paper separators and adhere to each other. Also: Next time consider placing a thin layer of edible lubricant between the separators and the dough rounds. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

North Coast Repertory Theatre

Actors play a whirlwind of roles in ‘Travels with My Aunt’ BY DIANA SAENGER In 1969, English author Graham Greene wrote the novel, “Travels with My Aunt.” British playwright and actor Giles Havergal adapted the book and wrote a version for the stage, which opens at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, Wednesday, April 12. The novel follows the travels of Henry Pulling, a retired bank manager, and his eccentric Aunt Augusta as they find their way across Europe and further afield. He meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time in more than 50 years at his mother’s funeral. Directed by NCRT’s Artistic Director David Ellenstein, four actors — James Saba, David McBean, Richard Baird and Benjamin Cole — perform the more than 20 roles with different identities, nationalities, ages and genders. Saba — an actor, director and executive director of San Diego Junior Theatre — said he was excited “Travels with My Aunt” is returning to San Diego, as he starred in it at The Old Globe Theatre in 1997. “I auditioned for it in New York, for the role of the fourth guy who doesn’t say anything, but didn’t get it,” Saba said. “I knew Craig Noel at The Globe was looking for a project. I was an assistant to him during six shows at The Globe and knew this was right up his alley. I was chosen to play the silent guy, and the one who moves all the furniture and holds up the props. Ever since, I wanted to be in that show again. When I

We go to places like Istanbul, Brighton, Paris, two places in South America — and that all takes place in couple of months, and all we have is a few prop pieces. We’re named Actor 1, 2, 3 and 4. We all play Henry, the protagonist, a 55-year-old bank manager who has never done anything

exciting with his life even 20 miles from where he lives.” Becoming knowledgeable about Greene’s work, Saba said the author has his own type of audience. “The story is fun for a person who has an imagination, one who appreciates an actor’s range and versatility, someone who loves to be taken on a journey through a play, and one that might become inspired to take a few more risks in life,” Saba said. “There is also a surprise when Henry learns

something quite significant about his Aunt throughout this journey, which happens after developing a relationship with her, because he hasn’t seen her since he was a baby.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Travels with My Aunt” is onstage April 15 to May 7 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Qasim Anwar

PHOTOS BY JANE WHEELER

Two artists have spring shows at Bird Rock café BY JANE WHEELER The passion-driven works of Qasim Anwar and Jason Workman are on view throughout the month of April at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, 5627 La Jolla Blvd. Anwar is a self-taught street artist who spent six years in South Korea, working with other artists to beautify the urban landscape of Seoul. Of his work in Bird Rock, he writes: “Each piece is a moment in time that I recorded in California during the summer and fall of 2106. The pieces are created in a way that the viewer falls into them, as if they are looking through my mind’s eye at my innermost self. They are meant to be stared at, to be dissected, and to be fallen into.” Learn more about Qasim’s work at inananimal.com Workman said he is passionate about painting, music, photography and filmmaking. At college, he studied art

history and later, filmmaking at the Seattle Film Institute, where he was writer/director on several shorts. During the 14 years he lived in the Pacific Northwest, he held art shows around town, recorded music and played solo acoustic sets. An avid music collector, Workman said he began painting in real time while listening to various albums, connecting the sounds with visual art, curious to discover how different sounds would influence the style and mood of the paintings. He continues to paint in this style and now has several series of music paintings. This show is a selection of his three latest concepts: painting to the 1980s, painting to the 1960s, and painting to political albums. He hopes to show the full collections in future art shows around San Diego. Find more about Workman’s art at imejaw.wixsite.com/jawart

Are you retired?

FROM JUDY BEE, B1 know if I would have been a great mom, but I’m a superb stepmother’ (laughs), I think all three of the girls would say that. I have a great relationship with them. I’m going to tell you a secret here, I’m also really good friends with his first wife. So, we grandparent together, but when I came down here, I knew no one! Michelle graciously took me under her wing socially, introduced me to her book club, which I’m a member of — The Literary Ladies. There’s nine of us. We meet once a month and we’re a great gang of gals. Then, Michelle introduced me to some philanthropic areas that I looked into.”

Describe your professional life.

“I’ve been a management consultant for physicians for over 40 years. That means I show doctors in a private practice group or solo, who don’t know anything about how to run a business — how to deal with personnel, scheduling appointments, collecting from insurance companies or any of those business disciplines, which is what I know about.”

“Yes, since 2015. However, I still work with clients that I’ve had for 25 years. When I retired, my friends asked me, ‘Are you going to travel?’ I said, ‘Are you nuts? I just spent 40 years on the road!’ (laughs). Why do I need to leave La Jolla?”

How was working with your husband?

much, there was no social life for me. There are not very many men who want to say ‘Hello’ Friday night about 10 p.m. and ‘Goodbye’ on Sunday when you must get on your next plane. So I was thinking, ‘If I’m going to have a stable relationship, I’m not going to be able to keep up this traveling.’ Being my best bud, I sat down with him that evening to talk about what I wanted to do, and I wanted him to help me think it through and I swore him to secrecy, because I wasn’t sure I wanted to leave the company. Over a long discussion and a little bit of Jack Daniels (we found out we liked each other) (laughs). Maybe it was a lot of Jack Daniels, I don’t remember.”

“We were colleagues first. We worked together for about six years before we realized there was anything else going on. It was a small company and I think there were five of us consultants, and from the day I was hired, he and I could finish each other’s sentences, which was kind of strange, but fun. And then we found out that there was something else How did you get involved with besides collegiality in the mix. I’ve never had a Just in Time for Foster Youth? problem working with him.” “It started with another organization called Women Give San Diego, and that’s a giving Would you tell us your love story? circle, which is part of the Women’s “We were going to work in New York City Foundation of California. So, when I started doing workshops for a week. (The first night to think about slowing down work and there) I was thinking about changing probably retiring, I went to my friends in employment, because since I traveled so Women Give, and I said, where should I look? And they all pointed me here.”

What do you do for Just in Time?

FREE Mind Fit Class to Boost Brain Health Do you find yourself asking the following questions? ! How can I keep my mind healthy and fit as I age? ! What lifestyle factors have a positive impact on brain health?

“When I first came here, I said, ‘Here’s what I know how to do: I know my way around Excel, Word, I can do public speaking, I know all about management, I’m good at training … so, is there a place for me where I can extend your paid staff so that I can do stuff that you normally would have a paid staff do, that would give them the opportunity to do other things?’ It took us a while to figure it out, but we did. I work on the Walk and Talk fundraiser event, this is my third year, the presentation of our College Bound program ... but I’m always in the background doing stuff mainly from home.”

What’s the mission of Just in Time?

“If a foster youth finds himself or herself in

a jam — they need a bus pass, they can’t make the rent, they need some food. ... that’s what we do here (for kids who don’t have families). When most of us, who have a family, got ourselves in a jam when we were 18 and 19, we went back home.

What do you do for fun?

“Read, walk, watch movies, play tennis, volunteer … I get great joy out of volunteering.”

Do you have a favorite color?

“I like yellow a lot. I’m told there are not very many people who can wear bright yellow, but there’s something about my coloring that will allow me to do it, and people associate that with me.”

Do you have pets?

“We couldn’t have a dog for all the years we traveled, because it didn’t make any sense. So when Jeff finally announced, ‘That’s it! I’m not traveling anymore.’ I said, ‘OK, we’ll get a dog.’ So we found a rescue place and I had three requirements: 1) not a puppy; 2) under 30 pounds; and 3) no shedding. I went into the rescue and I told them what I was looking for, and they said, ‘We have your dog!’ They did, and we got Sam. Sam wakes me up in the morning, we have breakfast, and then we go for a 45-minute walk up and down hills in Windemere. So we get lots of exercise, most of our life revolves around Sam. I enjoy the Inga column in your newspaper because she and I have similar feelings about dogs.”

What’s something people don’t know about you?

“Many people don’t know how humble my background was. I was raised by a single parent with very little money. It was just mom and me against the world. Lots of people — because we settled in La Jolla — assume that I come from money. Not at all.”

If so, join us for the Mind Fit Series. You will learn about proactive ways to enhance your brain health, including fun and challenging activities developed as part of the Cognitive Therapeutics Method™, a science based cognitive stimulation program.

Franklin Ye takes notes that make their way into the engineering notebook. FROM ROBOTICS, B1 Franklin said, “We still have a little bit of work to do before we go to the World Championship — we always do (laughs) — because every time we compete, we note what went right, what we wrong, what we need to improve and so on, and adjust the robot accordingly. That’s what we’re doing now. We’re adding more gears, adjusting the coding and making a few other changes.” The road to the Championship was one of steady growth for the team, aka 133T (teams are called by either their high school or a team name), which started last fall when they signed up for the VEX tournament and got their challenge details. The task the robot must complete is the same throughout the year, but only the most successful proceed beyond local tournaments. Team 133T started entering into — and clearing — regional meets and winning

awards that qualified them to move onto the higher levels. On Jan. 22, The Bishop’s School hosted a regional tournament at which the La Jolla High team won the Excellence Award that qualified them for the VEX State Championship. At the State Championship in Bakersfield, March 3-4, the La Jolla team competed against 42 teams and received the Design Award, which qualified for the World Championships. “A big factor in our moving to the State and now World Championships is our notebook,” Macky explained. “You have to keep an engineering notebook that documents the design process over the course of the season. We worked really hard at keeping our notebook up to date, we spent a lot of time at meetings writing down what we did — including CAD models, design drawings and calculations — and all of it had to be explained and recorded. By

the end of the challenge, we had a 300-page notebook. It was very thorough and the judges like that.” Added Jae Yoon, “In theory, if you took the notebook and gave it to another team, they should be able to recreate everything you did just from the notebook. It includes diagrams, and how we came to those decisions.” Maintaining a detailed notebook will also help next year’s team “carry the legacy,” Franklin said. “Every year, the challenge changes, so we want to make sure the team next year knows how to make certain design decisions and the thought process.” Other than the notebook, the team watched other teams and other robots to see where the others were successful and whether they could incorporate those elements into their robot.

Lessons learned from last year

In the team’s first year, their efforts were

less than fruitful. Franklin, Macky and Jae Yoon founded the team as a hobby, and the three of them explored the VEX Tournament to put their skills to the test. “We weren’t nearly as organized as we were this year, I think last year we got no points for the notebook. We were building the robot at the competition,” Franklin said. “Last year, Jae Yoon got out his laptop to change the coding in the middle of a match. People were looking at us like we were crazy.” Further, they didn’t have a stable workspace or money for supplies. “At first, it was really rough getting fundraising and financial support and establishing a place to work,” Franklin said. “We worked out of four different garages. But now we’ve settled at one of our teammate’s garage.” To raise money for supplies and space, the team hosted a winter robotics camp with Muirlands Middle School students and will continue to fundraise for travel expenses.

SAVE THE DATE: April 12 at La Jolla Community Center

Opera Wednesdays marks third year with free concert BY ASHLEY MACKIN Much like an operatic crescendo, the regular attendance at the La Jolla Community Center’s Opera Wednesdays has been increasing steadily for the last (almost) three years. The monthly concert series will celebrate its third anniversary with a special party, featuring more singers than found at an average concert. Soprano Anna Belaya, soprano Carly Cummings, mezzo-soprano Kiana Bell, tenor Gustavo Hernández García and baritone Radames Gil, with Janie Prim on piano, will take the stage 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 12 at the La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. for a free celebration concert. (Guests age 21 and older also get a free drink ticket!) However, the $10 suggested donation goes directly to the performers to support their artistic endeavors. La Jolla Community Center executive director Nancy Walters said the program started after a performance with tenor Alexis Alfaro. “He loved our space and thought it was optimal for opera. We agreed that there were not enough venues in San Diego, nor opportunities for opera singers (especially young ones), to practice and share their talents,” Walters said. “Music and the arts are so vital for everyone and La Jolla is a community made up of a listening crowd who really enjoys and looks forward to events like Opera Wednesdays. It has been a real joy

watching the event grow and listening to world-class artists for the past three years. We hope to continue the series for a long time to come.” Opera Wednesday co-director Derek Legg added, “The first concerts had 15-20 people in attendance, and now we’ve had as many as 70 people at one concert. We have a lot of talent in San Diego and there is obviously the desire for events like this because the audience is growing and people enjoy it.” For the last three years, on the second Wednesday of each month, four singers would take the La Jolla Community Center stage to practice new material, perform the classics and get their names out there. Singers straight out of college, those practicing for area opera choruses (including the San Diego Opera), those embarking on professional careers, and established singers from San Diego and out-of-town perform in an informal, intimate setting. “We present solos, duets, some Italian

Radames Gil, baritone

songs, classic operas, but also some musical theater,” Legg said. “The artists introduce themselves, talk about their passions or aspirations and where they are coming from. They educate the concert-goers about the song and then sing. It’s interactive.” He said Opera Wednesdays emphasizes music sung in English to avoid a language barrier. Opera Wednesdays also tries to focus on variety, so there is something for opera newbies and longtime lovers. “Audience members learn new music or about a style they haven’t heard, but in the same show, a dedicated opera lovers will hear the classics,” he said. And more than the variety, Legg said the thing that impresses audience most is the local talent found in San Diego. “Most of our performers are not full-time singers. One of our singers works at a golf company, but sings on the side and people are amazed by him,” he said. One of the singers on the bill for the big

celebration, though she has performed at Opera Wednesdays before, is Kiana Bell, a member of the San Diego Opera “Opera Exposed” apprenticeship program. “I like performing in the small intimate space (at La Jolla Community Center) because you can see the audience’s faces and that creates a different energy. The fourth wall that comes with a larger venue is broken and I can watch as people react to the music, rather than just sing into a faceless crowd and just gauge the performance by the applause afterward,” she said. “I find it to be warm and lively, and a safe place to be creative.” ■ IF YOU GO: Opera Wednesdays Third Anniversary Concert, 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 12 at La Jolla Community Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd. Free. $10 suggested donation to the performers to support their artistic endeavors. ljcommunitycenter.org or facebook.com/operawednesday

SPONSORED COLUMNS PANCHO DEWHURST GDC Construction 858.551.5222

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13. The San Diego Historical Resources Board is

responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you are interested in restoring or preserving a historic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a signiﬁcant alteration, or demolition, to a building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic

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

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

Richard Deacon Presents

Sculptures draw awe and smiles at SDMA

PHOTOS BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO

In his welcoming remarks, British sculptor Richard Deacon told guests at San Diego Museum of Art they are ‘lucky to have a museum of this quality in your city.’

BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO “Richard Deacon: What You See Is What You Get,” opened with a gala reception March 23 at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. The noted British contemporary sculptor (he prefers fabricator) was in attendance to discuss some of his 40 featured works, which will remain on display through July 25. Deacon uses everyday materials such as laminated wood, linoleum and limestone, which he molds into abstract forms that challenge viewers’ expectations of the limitations of materials. In a brief interview with La Jolla Light, the 67-year-old artist said his inspiration for each remarkable piece comes from “the places I visit, the things I find, things I read about ... I never know what will strike.” He added that the size of each work dictates the time he spends on it, finishing some pieces in a week, others in six months. An online search of his bio reveals Deacon was born in Bangor, Wales and educated at Plymouth College. He then studied at the Somerset College of Art, Taunton, at London’s Saint Martin’s School of Art and at the Royal College of Art. He left the Royal College in 1977 to study part-time at the Chelsea School of Art. Deacon’s first one-person show came in 1978 in Brixton. His work includes small-scale pieces suitable for showing in art

galleries, as well as much larger pieces shown in sculpture gardens and objects made for specific events, such as dance performances. In 1987, Deacon won the Turner Prize (nominated for his touring show “For Those Who Have Eyes”) having previously been nominated in 1984. For his contributions to the art world, Deacon was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1999. In 2007, he represented Wales at the Venice Biennale. The Tate Museum in London held a retrospective show of his work in 2014. His exhibit at SDMA has garnered praise from guests and museum “guards” alike. “This is a fun one to watch over,” one docent said. “It’s like a playhouse for adults with everyone wanting to walk through the pieces and touch them. The kids want to run through all the openings!” ■ IF YOU GO: “Richard Deacon: What You See Is What You Get,” is on exhibit until July 25 at The San Diego Museum of Art, 1450 El Prado in Baboa Park. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Closed Wednesday. Admission: $8-$15.

Tips for cooking with kids

hanks to the popularity of such shows as The Food Network’s “Chopped Junior,” the kitchen has become the new cool playground. In response, readers have requested kid-friendly advice for having a fun and safe culinary play date with their young children and grandchildren. So, roll up those big and little sleeves, and game on!

Mother Hubbard needs well-stocked cupboard

Be prepared. Map out a thoughtful game plan for the event. Select age appropriate recipes, and compile an ingredient list. Remember, kids have different tastebuds and palates than we do. Flavors are amplified, spicy foods are not well-tolerated, while sweets are overly welcomed. If you have a plentifully stocked pantry, freezer and produce drawer you might be able to skip the trip to the market.

Little hands make big messes

Expect spills, dribbles, splashes, overflows, splatters and flour dust —everywhere! Put aprons on all chefs, and try using plastic sheets on counters and floors for damage control. Have everyone pitch in at the end for cleanup.

Rub-a dub dub

Make sure all wash their hands before any food preparation, after handling fish, chicken, meat or anything sticky, and, of course, before eating. Explain the dangers of bacterial and viral “kooties” that can cause serious foodborne illnesses.

Safety first

When doling out kitchen patrol, leave the chopping to older kids. Even still, give a crash course in basic knife skills (see below), and always supervise. For newbies, a cutting glove might be a good bet, along with a sturdy stool for standing on if the prep counter is too high. Other safety tips include turning pot handles inward to prevent burns, tying long hair back, keeping knives in blocks, and breakables away from edges.

Chop goes the weasel

There are three cardinal rules for using knives at any age: 1) keep them sharp as they are safer than dull ones, which can easily slip off foods and cut you; 2) uuse cutting surfaces that will keep blades sharp like wood or plastic; and 3) always clean knives by hand. Use a serrated knife for slicing bread, a paring knife for peeling fruit or trimming fat, and a chef’s knife for slicing

and dicing. Grasp the blade handle with thumb and forefinger, making an “O” formation. Hold food in place with your free hand, curving knuckles inward, claw-like, away from danger. Slice away.

Baby Bear’s porridge

Kids shouldn’t have foods too hot that will burn delicate mouths and throats, or too cold that will cause brain freeze.

The ABCs of GMOs

Talk to these future stewards of our planet about the beauty of seasonal, sustainable, local, organic, and hormone, antibiotic and GMO-free foods. Tell them about freaky Frankenstein creations like the peach that was crossed with the DNA of a cold-water fish to preserve the fruit during early frosts.

Teachable moments

This is also a good time to incorporate math (measurements, metric conversions, equivalents in recipes), chemistry and science (reactions with leavening agents and acids, denaturing of proteins, creating emulsions, etc.) into the mix.

Don’t (rolling) pin them down

While most first kitchen experiences start with baking, you should expose them to the art and joy of cooking. Let them marinade, toss, sauté, shock, scale fish, debone chicken, peel, mash, shred, zest, garnish, and take pride in the fruits of their labor.

Camera, Action!

Record video of the event to capture the memory, and dole out kudos. Most importantly, have a blast!

Easy, Cheesy Baked Ziti ■ Ingredients: • 1 pound ziti, cooked slightly al dente, drained • 1 jar quality marinara sauce • 14-ounce can/jar diced tomatoes • 4 garlic cloves, minced • 1 sweet red pepper, diced • 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced • 1 handful fresh basil, chopped • 1 teaspoon honey • 3 tablespoons virgin olive oil • 12 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese ■ Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Add oil to large pan on medium heat, and add garlic, peppers and mushrooms. Sauté until tender. Add sauce, tomatoes, honey, half the basil and seasonings. Toss pasta with sauce and transfer to oven-safe casserole dish. Top with thick layer of mozzarella. Bake until brown and bubbly (about 20 minutes). Garnish with basil.

Country Day students build playhouses for Head Start campuses

a Jolla Country Day School six-graders recently built eight wooden playhouses for hundreds of children who will enjoy them at Head Start locations throughout San Diego. The students got some support from San Diego Habitat for Humanity, Head Start and State Farm. On Feb. 22 and 23, some 40 students assembled, decorated and painted the playhouses (with adult supervision), giving free reign to their imagination and choosing their favorite themes. Going through six different workstations, they learned lessons ranging from architecture and engineering, to sustainability, advocacy and even home insurance. On top of that, the students learned how to raise money! Their target goal was $4,000 to support the project, and the mission of San Diego Habitat For Humanity to help everyone achieve decent housing. “This project is a wonderful way to get youth involved in helping others and also thinking about affordable housing issues throughout the region,” said Lori Holt Pfeiler, CEO San Diego Habitat For Humanity. “We are so grateful to State Farm for providing the funding to make this come to life.” The insurer provided a grant of $1,500 to help fund the project. — sdhfh.org/Camp-Habitat

Preparing one of the many playhouse floors

It takes teamwork to build a playhouse.

San Diego County home price increases fall behind national rate

HOME HOMEOF OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

La Jolla Seaside Living At Its Finest

BY PHILLIP MOLNAR San Diego County’s home market continued to show signs of decelerated growth in January, falling behind the national average for the second month in a row, said the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices released Tuesday. The indices, adjusted for seasonal swings, showed San Diego County home prices rose 5.7 percent in a year. It was 5.9 percent nationwide, the strongest increase in 31 months. Of the 20 major regions followed by the indices, San Diego ranked No.14 in January — above Los Angeles, Phoenix, Cleveland and other markets. Last year at this time, San Diego’s home prices were increasing nearly 7 percent in a year and outpacing the national average. While mortgage rate increases could slow price growth eventually, it hasn’t made an impact yet, wrote David Blitzer, managing chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “Higher prices and mortgage rates shrink the number of households that can afford to buy at current price levels,” he wrote. “At some point, this process will force prices to level off and decline. However, we don’t appear to be there yet.” Seattle had the biggest yearly increase at 11.3 percent, followed by Portland at 9.7 percent and Denver at 9.2 percent. The lowest were Washington, D.C., at 3.9 percent and New York at 3.2 percent. The coming year appears to follow a similar pattern as 2016 of low home inventory driving up prices, said Zillow chief economist Svenja Gudell. The difference this year is mortgage rates are up since Donald Trump’s election victory and could continue EN UN OP & S M P T SA 1-4

to go up following the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise rates. “(Mortgage) rates are rising slowly, and what inventory is available continues to fly off the shelves,” she wrote in an email. “Nobody should expect these overall market forces to shift meaningfully overnight.” The median home price in San Diego County was $495,000 in January, CoreLogic said. The Case-Shiller index goes beyond evaluating home transaction prices to track repeat sales of identical single-family houses as they turn over through the years.
