PDO committee looking into ‘sandwich board’ regulations
Sammy’s Pizza eyes summer reopening
BY ASHLEY MACKIN To address the presence of numerous, illegal A-frame signs or “sandwich boards” popping up on the Village’s commercial streets, La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance committee has been asked to adopt the city’s guidelines. The advisory committee reviews development applications within the portions of La Jolla related to the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance (PDO) and makes recommendations to La Jolla’s Community Planning Association on projects requiring no other discretionary permits (for example, building signs, façade renovations). Sandwich board regulations were introduced at the PDO board’s March 28 SEE SANDWICH BOARDS, A12
BY ASHLEY MACKIN After numerous inquiries about the status of Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza and Grill in La Jolla — which has been closed since a two-alarm fire broke out there in September — owner Sami Ladeki told La Jolla Light the restaurant will open, hopefully this summer. “People think because Roppongi Sushi closed, that Sammy’s is going to close, but that is not the case. It will reopen,” he said. The 702 Pearl St. restaurant, opened in 1989, was the first of now 17 chain locations. It suffered smoke and water damage following a fire over Labor Day weekend in 2015. Officials determined the fire cause to be accidental, starting in the restaurant kitchen hood. Damage is estimated at $150,000 to the building and $50,000 to the contents. One firefighter sustained a minor injury. Citing problems with the various insurance agencies involved, the city and the adjoining apartment complex, SEE SAMMY’S, A9

Causes of beach erosion? El Nino storms, less sand replacement BY ASHLEY MACKIN Where’s the sand? Those who walk the beach along La Jolla Shores and a few other La Jolla beaches in recent months have noticed an increase in rocks and stones along the shore. Just past the ends of Kellogg Park, residents have reported severe sand erosion, the likes of which they’ve never seen before. While scientists say erosion happens every winter, this year has other factors making the situation more noticeable. “I walk on the beach with friends at least once a week and we’ve been doing that for years,” said Shores resident Susan Tschirn. “It’s part of enjoying the Shores. But in the last few months, the sand has eroded and these rocks appeared, and part of the beach is gone. I’ve never seen it like this, ever.” Terry Krazewski, owner of Ocean Girl beach apparel, echoed Tschirn’s concerns. “There are so many rocks in that area and I don’t recall ever seeing that many there,” she said. “Were these rocks always there or did they appear abruptly? And from where?” La Jolla Light reached out to Scripps Institution of Oceanography coastal oceanographer Scott Jenkins for some answers. He said there is an annual cycle of sand movement; it drifts offshore during the winter and returns during the summer. However, this year, there are unique factors in place
Where’s the beach? A recent image at La Jolla Shores. affecting the cycle. “The sand is always in motion; it’s a movable thing. You know that when you pick it up and it slips through your fingers,” Jenkins said. “(Sand erosion) happens every year, but in some years the changes are more severe. This year, there are a lot of moving parts.”

One of those moving parts, as many have suspected, is the El Nino storm. “Every time there is a strong El Nino year, such as what we are having now, there will be a lot of beach erosion,” he said. “It’s happened a number of times.” This year, coupled with the increased intensity of erosion beyond what
occurs every winter, is a decrease in sand replacement, he said. “Beaches will lose sand in the winter,” he said. “It goes to sand bars and marine canyons, and some of it comes back in the summer, but not all of it gets through.” This is true particularly in La Jolla Shores, where the underwater canyons are located; here sand loss is not unusual. “But for us to have stable beaches, we need new sand and where does it come from?” Jenkins continued. “We have several big rivers nearby that flow into the ocean, but many have dams on them … so not a lot of new sand gets to the ocean to replace the sand that gets lost.” While there is typically a rate of loss and a rate of replacement, “The supply of new sand hasn’t been keeping up with the loss of sand,” he added. Another source of new sand is La Jolla’s coastal bluffs, which are actually ancient beaches lifted by tectonic activity over the centuries, but Jenkins said sea walls and other infrastructure on these bluffs has slowed the rate of new sand getting to the beach. “We’ve cut off our two sources of new sand,” he said. “There are rocks underneath our sandy beaches that are just now getting exposed.” Despite all the outlying factors this year, Jenkins said some of the sand is expected to return this summer.

The construction project will upgrade the athletic stadium and make it more accessible to people of all abilities.

G
radually becoming more and more visible from Fay Avenue, construction on the new $12 million athletic complex at La Jolla High School is moving along on schedule, said a school district spokesperson. It’s slated for completion in mid-August. “When school begins in the fall, the Vikings will have a new, more accessible, stadium that includes new home and visitor plazas, entry gates, bleachers, a press box, concession buildings, restrooms and weight rooms … and a new tennis plaza,” said San Diego Unified School District communications supervisor Cynthia Reed-Porter. Other project additions include replacement of the synthetic turf field; resurfacing the running track, which will reportedly extend the life of the track by
another six to eight years at a cost of $169,863; and construction of a new boys locker room and additional storage space. The school will concurrently spend between $200,000 and $1 million to repair its emergency communications system. “San Diego Unified thanks the community of La Jolla for supporting the school district’s Propositions S & Z bond programs (which fund capital improvement projects) so these, and other improvements, can become a reality,” Porter said. “La Jolla High has already received interactive classroom technology throughout its campus, thanks to the bond program, and there is more modernization work to come, including campus-wide air conditioning.”
Slightly visible from the corner of Fay Avenue and Rushville Street, the new athletic complex at La Jolla High is taking shape.

Parks & Beaches partners with Shores to stop illegal camping Letters off to city over sea lion clean-up and broken beach stairs BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory group will join forces with La Jolla Shores Association in its proactive efforts to deter illegal camping in La Jolla’s parks during summer holidays. At the Parks & Beaches March 28 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, acting chair Bill Robbins explained that in La Jolla Shores, there is a reported problem of people illegally camping in Kellogg Park ahead of and during Fourth of July and Memorial Day. “It’s always been against city law to camp overnight in a park … and have a tent with all four sides down. It’s always been against the law to stake out spot and hold it for your family ahead of time. But we’ve let it get out of control over the years,” he said, noting that other issues, such as bonfires and drinking, tend to arise with incidents of illegal camping. Anecdotally, Robbins said a few years ago, someone camping in the park had a heart attack, but paramedics couldn’t find the victim because there were too many people in the park. The victim was eventually found when someone near him waved paramedics over and he was treated. Because Kellogg Park has become a “tent city” in recent years, the La Jolla Shores Association decided to be proactive and engage in a public outreach campaign and

better signage leading up to the problem holidays, to discourage camp set ups before the problem gets out of hand. “If the Shores Association takes the action they are talking about, we need to be prepared because the campers will leave Kellogg Park and come to Scripps Park,” Robbins said. “We need to work together.”
resources to get the no-camping word out, and 3) request better signage. “We might not get it perfected in one year, but I want to start on Memorial Day as a rehearsal to get an approach figured out by the Fourth of July,” he said. A motion to support writing the requested letters passed. Noting that it would take additional research to see the type of social media outreach might be available to them, Robbins said, “If we can get the message out through (Twitter and Instagram) it could deter that behavior, just like at Marine Street Beach, where drinking and partying was an issue,
A three-fold approach
To help, Robbins said he wants to take three courses of action: 1) Write letters to the Department of Park & Rec and the police department asking that something be done ahead of time 2) use city social media

until the police started showing up — word got out through social media and it stopped.” Lastly, he said he wants to order bright orange signs, larger than what is already posted at park entrances, clearly identifying city regulations. The additional signage would be temporary, only for the day or so leading up to the problem holidays. Audience member Sarah Alexander suggested that item No. 1 printed on the temporary signs be “No setting up or establishment of tents in the park” to deter camping. She said, “The camping in the park is the last step, the setting up the tents is the first one. If you can’t do step one (setting up

Sea lions on the stairs above the Cove. the tents) you can’t get to overnight camping.” Robbins said he would ask about whether that is a possible addition, “We cannot put anything on the sign that is not already a city regulation,” he noted. In other Parks & Beaches news: ■ Sea Lion cleanup plan: As the burgeoning sea lion population at La Jolla Cove continues to be a hot topic, Robbins reported that sea lion waste on public spaces is becoming more of an issue. “The sea lions are now leaving the beach and resting on the stairs, on the benches and on the lifeguard tower landing. I suspect one of them is going to be a flower girl at a wedding at the Bridge Club before we know it,” he said. “But the city doesn’t seem to have a plan for cleaning up

their mess (fecal matter, urine, and stillborn pups born ahead of the birth season).” To determine whether the city, and which department therein, is responsible for cleaning up animal waste on public property, and whether the city has drafted an ongoing cleanup plan, Robbins suggested writing a letter requesting said information. “I’ve spoken with the city about this and they say clean up will be available ‘as needed,’ but I don’t know who the judge is that decides what is ‘as needed.’ We need it every morning,” Robbins said. The only constant option available “as needed” is the city’s dead animal removal service, but even that is not without its faults. “Sea lions are having premature births, which happen this time of year (the normal birth cycle is to have pups in summer),” he said, and that while the animal removal service is available, it tends to conclude at 2 p.m. on Fridays and workers don’t come back until Monday. “So if something happens over the
weekend for the tourists to look at, it gets to be an issue.” A motion to draft a letter that addresses sanitation issues on public property at the Cove was approved, and any available response will be reported at the group’s next meeting. ■ Storm-broken stair repairs: During the storms that took place at the end of 2015 and beginning of this year, 11 stairs were blown off a coastal access point between properties located at 100 and 202 Coast Boulevard, in an area known as “the horseshoe.” Following the damage, the city closed off the access with a metal fence. However, any plans for repair or replacement have not been announced. “The city sent us a letter indicating they had an engineer – probably their own – visit the site and report that it cannot be fixed,” Robbins said, adding that residents have come forward hoping the stairs will be restored. Meeting attendee John Alexander said his family used
that access point for years and does not want to see it in disrepair for years. So much so, he said he is considering launching a crowd-funding site to privately pay to have a new set of stairs put in. Although LJP&B supported the private fundraising effort, the group also voted to inquire from the city whether the stairs will be repaired and according to what schedule. Robbins said, “We need to know what they are doing. Is this a two-year project that requires the Coastal Commission to weigh in? That would be OK. Are they going to repair it in-house or put the project out to bid? I just feel like an idiot when people ask me what is going on over there and I have to say, ‘I don’t know and can’t find out.’ ” A motion passed to write a letter to the city requesting a timeline for the stair repair. —La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meets 4 p.m. Monday, April 25 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

Sammy’s at 702 Pearl St. has plans to re-open this summer. FROM SAMMY’S, A1 Ladeki said he wanted to have the restaurant open by May, but doubts that will happen. “All the different agencies are working together, but it’s still going to be difficult. I need to open that place. It’s one of the best locations we have,” he said. “We’ve been working hard to get it back open soon.” In the meantime, Ladecki said he has been redesigning the interior and exterior of the restaurant, and adding new items to the menu. “We’ve been working on the inside to repair the water damage, and will renovate the outside patio. I’m taking out the awning and adding umbrellas and generally cleaning up the outside eating area.” As with many of the other Sammy’s Pizza locations, Ladeki said the menu would also be updated when the restaurant opens. “We have a beautiful new burger, and will have more small plates and tacos, as well as more Peruvian-inspired food,” he said. Ladeki added he would like the restaurant to reopen on June 15, since it originally opened on that date in 1989.

FROM MURAL, A1 Shores,” said Murals of La Jolla curator Lynda Forsha. “Lorenzo’s unique style and perspective brings a new energy and character to the site and his image connects perfectly with the building’s tenant, Galaxy Taco. Lorenzo’s work is vibrant and optimistic. The brightly colored Papel Picado (paper banners with designs cut into them) and sunburst in the image pay homage to Mexican Folk Art and signal special occasions and celebration.” Initiated by the La Jolla Community Foundation, Murals of La Jolla is now a project under the auspices of the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library. The art works are funded by private donations. “The theme of the mural is Thanksgiving and I thought a restaurant — where friends and family gather to break bread — was a good setting for the piece,” artist Segovia told La Jolla Light. “And I deliberately gave it a Spanish title. Most of my pieces are titled are in Spanish because I’m from Mexico and it goes against the grain of English being the language of the art world.” With golden rays that radiate throughout the mural and a brightly colored background, the image is of strings of Mexican paper flags with patterns or words on them. For example, one flag has the word “Por” (Spanish for “for”) and the word “Amor” (Spanish for “love”) another has the word “Gracias” (Spanish for “thanks”). “I wanted to create an image … that when you see from the front, the eye will sweep across in an upward motion to look up into the heavens. It signals hope and goodness,”

Los Angeles-based artist Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia he said. “Without being a dogmatic mural that enforces any one type of belief, eating food with friends and family is something to be grateful for. So the words on the Papel Picado are meant to be little prayers of thanks sent up to the heavens.” Starting with hand-drawings, Segovia said the piece has evolved since January, and the
”
— Lynda Forsha Murals of La Jolla curator finished product is the largest piece he has ever done. “I wanted to make something new and unique for this occasion,” he said. Known for his sculptures, drawings, paintings and textile-work, Segovia’s most recognizable works are painted pieces of paper cut into strips and weaved into different configurations.
Having grown up outside of Juarez, Mexico, Segovia said he always saw people making things with their hands. “People would make or constantly repair items in their homes or their clothing, so making was a big part of my formative years. But I didn’t think of it as art.” Learning from those around him, Segovia became skilled in making things by hand and designing household items. Deciding to become an engineer, he came to the United States to get a degree, thanks largely to a full scholarship. One elective shy of completing his studies, which he joked he “had been putting off” until the very end, he took a drawing class. “It changed me. Something clicked. In drawing and art in general, one could have grandiose and abstract ideas and have immediate results by taking material to surface. It opened a lot of possibilities,” he said. Segovia transferred to UCLA where he received an undergraduate degree in art, and later to Otis College of Art and Design for a master’s degree. “Art is really open and it can be liberating, but there is a lot of pressure to do something that goes beyond initial curiosity to be developed into a reached body of work and a reached thought. “That’s the magical part. Something can be so simple, but become so special,” Segovia said. “I also think the public engagement aspect is great and I’m glad to be part of it by participating in the Murals of La Jolla program.” ■ ON THE WEB: For more information on the Murals of La Jolla, visit muralsoflajolla.com

FROM SANDWICH BOARDS, A1 special meeting, and slated for a full discussion and vote at the 4 p.m. Monday, April 11 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. Although prohibited by the now defunct Promote La Jolla group — whose dissolution gave rise to the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association (LJVMA) — the sandwich boards are being used as marketing materials on the sidewalk right-of-ways to catch the attention of passers-by and announce specials, services and more. Most areas of San Diego have regulations to keep the boards in check, but Promote La Jolla decided to instead ban them altogether in La Jolla. “We are the only Business Improvement District (BID) that does not have an allowance for that,” said LJVMA president Claude-Anthony Marengo. “The other districts have regulations as far as what size the copy area can be, where they can be placed, and their permitting process, so there is a regulatory body that can watch over that at the city level.” Without any regulations in La Jolla, the signs have become more prevalent, to the point that Marengo reports they get lined up and block eight feet of a 16-foot sidewalk. In addition to the proliferation of sandwich boards in front of stores, “What we’ve seen in the last three to four years is people putting A-frame signs on streets other than where their business is located,” he said. Because La Jolla does not have specific regulations in place, the Merchant’s Association attempted to manage the situation by notifying business owners in violation, which has reportedly caused conflicts, so some board members now want to bring the issue directly to the city’s Code Compliance Department. As LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune explained, “I had someone from the city’s Code Enforcement out here for an hour (to assess the situation) and he left because it was too much.” Added Marengo, because La Jolla has not adopted city rules, “The city said, ‘you have to become the policing agency,’ but that’s not what a merchants board does. We

don’t police our merchants; we support our merchants.” Because all merchants are equal, Marengo said, the Merchants Association would not be the appropriate entity to monitor the violations. He suggested adopting city guidelines to regulate the signage, so those in violation would answer to Code Enforcement. The city’s Public Right-of-Way Enhancement Program addresses freestanding sign standards with detailed rules as to where a sign can and cannot be, and what can be on it. For example, only those businesses fronting on the PROW (Public Right-of-Way) and located on the first floor may participate in this program. Enhancements may be placed only in the PROW directly in front of the business storefront. Further, no sign copy referring to off-premise locations (Example: “Visit our main store in Clairemont”) shall be permitted and no live advertising (such as character actors or employees holding a sign) shall be permitted.
“Our hope with doing this process this way is that it will put a line in the sand so everyone has an equal chance to comply,” Marengo said. “We’re not saying get rid of the signs, we’re saying comply with the city rules. Whether they have had the signs for 10 years or not, they will have an equal chance to have amnesty and play by the rules or get out.” Although presented at the meeting with a complete package detailing the language used in other areas, PDO chair Ione Steigler said, “I feel uncomfortable asking our board to vote on something they haven’t read.” Opting to table the discussion, she later told La Jolla Light via e-mail, “We will be hearing it with the full language proposed at the next meeting.” — PDO next meets 4 p.m. Monday, April 11 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

‘Yoga is about feeling good about yourself’
COURTESY ANDREW BEINBRINK
Andrew Beinbrink, second from right, founded Yoga 4 Homeless. He is shown from a few months ago giving yoga mats for some homeless men, including Mark Heffron, second from left.
La Jollan launches drive to fight homelessness with yoga Want to help? “ ” BY GARY WARTH SPECIAL TO LA JOLLA LIGHT “This is not a new idea,” said Andrew Beinbrink, CEO of SportsForce, a local college recruiting company. “This is already being done in different communities on a small scale, and the evidence of its successful so far is mind-blowing.” Yoga, Beinbrink said, has been shown to reduce traumatic stress, depression, insomnia and addictions. It also has been used to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. All of those conditions are major contributors to homelessness, and Beinbrink said his plan to bring yoga to shelters and social service programs across the nation could have a profound impact on the problem. “We believe yoga should be accessible to every homeless person that wants to practice,” Beinbrink said. The La Jolla resident has launched Yoga 4 Homeless, a nonprofit that he plans to expand nationally throughout partnerships with yoga studios and homeless programs. So far, he’s aligned with about a dozen studios and has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for mats, instructors and other expenses. Beinbrink hopes to recruit yoga teachers across the country to work in different cities. Locally, he already is working with Serving Seniors, which works with a homeless population, and the San Diego Rescue Mission.
The major cause of homelessness is not the economy, but mental illness and addictions.
Robert Marbut, U.S. consultant on homelessness
“If it does anything to help their mental wellness, their spiritual well-being, and their physical wellness, I’m all for it,” said Michael Johnson, vice president of development for the Rescue Mission. While yoga may not be the first thing that comes to mind when most people think about the needs of the homeless, Johnson said he could get 10 different answers if he were to ask 10 people about the best way to help them. “But the sooner we treat them with dignity, respect and give them opportunities, the better they will be,” he said. “And I think the program that Andrew is doing, treating people around wellness and wholeness and focusing inwardly among their own selves, I don’t see how anything bad can come from it.” Beinbrink donated about 100 yoga mats to the mission, where about 400 people reside on any given night, Johnson said. With some offices moving from the mission’s main building to another building across the street, Johnson said he hopes they will have room to hold yoga classes for residents by summer. Beinbrink said his project is the first
■ “We just launched a national awareness campaign that started March 29 in San Diego that will, with the support of Lululemon and other partners, cover almost every major city in the U.S. in the next 45 days,” said Andrew Beinbrink. ■ The Yoga 4 Homeless: yoga4homeless.org
national attempt at coordinating yoga programs for homeless people, but there are similar programs across the country. In the Bay Area, Marty Fleetwood led yoga classes for homeless people as executive director of Homebase, Inc. “Participants over time started reporting their progress,” she said about the program that ran about five years. Some people reported that their doctors had lowered the dosage of medication they were on, and some said they had met goals that resulted in them moving into permanent housing, she said. Before she stopped the program two years ago because of her own medical reasons, Fleetwood said she and other instructors had worked with Berkeley Support Services in Alameda County and with emergency shelters. Robert Marbut of Marbut Consulting, which advises more than 100 cities nationwide about homeless issues, also said the yoga program makes sense. “As soon as I heard about it, I thought, ‘That’s ingenious,’” he said. “I wish I had thought of that.” Marbut said he believes the
major cause of homelessness is not the economy, but mental illness and addictions. “The balancing, the calming, the breathing,” he said about yoga. “Those are all really good processes that help in mental and behavioral health issues or addictive disorders.” No one is talking about diverting resources from existing homeless services for yoga, which has been popping up in all sorts of different places across the region, including wine bars, breweries, pubs and, controversially to some, public schools. Beinbrink said he got the idea of creating a yoga program for homeless people in October, when he ran into a homeless veteran sleeping on the sidewalk. He went back home and brought him a yoga mat. “I’m back in the saddle again,” said the man, Mark Heffron, 53. “I just started back in a job, going on a month.” Heffron said he hasn’t started doing yoga yet, but he credits Beinbrink with helping him get off the street. Heffron said he’s done yoga in the past and understands how it could help homeless people. “It’s about exercising and feeling good about yourself,” he said.

Celebrating 25 Years in La Jolla We can help you with all of your dental needs Angie Stava, La Jolla Riford Library’s new youth librarian
Library welcomes new youth dept. librarian La Jolla Riford Library recently added a new youth librarian to its staff when Angie Stava started the job in late March. Filling in for outgoing youth librarian Bill Mallory, who moved on to become the branch manager at Clairemont library, Stava said, “La Jolla has a fabulous reputation for being one of the most innovative libraries in the system, so when I heard of the opportunity, I knew I would love to work here.” Fairly new to San Diego, Stava and her husband moved from Wisconsin after he got a job at a biotech firm two years ago. “I got my master’s degree in 2011 from the University of Wisconsin. Since then, I’ve worked at libraries in Wisconsin and in Carlsbad, before moving to the San Diego system,” she said, noting she worked at the North Park and College-Rolando branches as the youth librarian. “I’ve always been interested in youth services. I love working with kids, I love connecting with families, and seeing little kids grow up. I get a kick out of it,” she said. “I’m very excited to bring a few more programs for the littlest patrons, maybe a baby storytime or other programs for our very youngest visitors. We already have great STEM programs, so hopefully we’ll expand on that as well.” But first, she has to prepare for the summer reading program, which starts June 15. La Jolla Library is at 7555 Draper Ave. lajollalibrary.org

The purpose of the design charrette is to use the new proposed zoning language and incentives to evaluate their efficacy in promoting design that keeps with the scale and density of La Jolla’s coastal communities. crcd.sandiego@gmail.com

LA JOLLA NEWS NUGGETS (CONTINUED) FROM NUGGETS, A19 City of San Diego requested a speed limit increase for Soledad Mountain Road between Pacifica Drive and Soledad Road. Although the request was previously approved by T&T, new information was made available, so it will be debated again. • A discussion of road humps (more gradual versions of speed bumps) proposed for West Muirlands Drive, is also scheduled, though there are traffic calming measures in place at that location. Affected residents have reportedly signed a petition in favor of the installation, but La Jolla Community Planning Association president Cindy Greatrex said the LJCPA is receiving letters of opposition. T&T will make a recommendation to the LJCPA following the April 20 meeting for ratification.

He said his appreciation and concern for the oceans increased as he pursued his Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy and Management at UC
Berkeley. “Yet, it was not until after my daughter was born that I began photographing the underwater world,” said Lever, a resident of Bird Rock. “When I returned from a dive she would ask, ‘What did you see down there?’ It was beyond me to accurately describe the fantastic environments and wonderful creatures that inhabit our oceans and bays. I wanted to show her. I began with a point and shoot, and as long as my underwater subjects stayed still, I could capture them in muted blues and greens. My daughter could now vaguely see what I experienced while diving. “With time my technique and equipment improved. My daughter marveled at these images even more and my photos garnered admiring comments from family, friends and fellow divers. With their encouragement, I now share my passion with you.”

Bishop’s junior Stephanie Plowden (18) makes a move against the defense of La Jolla senior captain Helen Lee (22) in the Vikings’ 7-6 overtime win over the host Knights on Saturday.
PATRICIA WU/COURTESY
La Jolla defenders Fifi Thrift (5) and Maggie Garvey (15) put pressure on Bishop’s senior Eileen Mahler on Saturday afternoon. The visiting Vikings edged the Knights, 7-6, in overtime.
PREP GIRLS LACROSSE
Vikings vanquish Knights in rivalry match BY CHRIS SAUR In an epic girls lacrosse matchup that lived up to the teams’ historically powerful namesakes, the La Jolla High Vikings outlasted the host Bishop’s School Knights, 7-6, in sudden-victory overtime on Saturday. After Viking freshman standout Reagan Jetter tied the contest at the regulation buzzer, it was another Viking youngster, sophomore Yassi Mesri netting the game-winner less than a minute into the extra period of the rivalry game. “It’s always been a rivalry so to win it for the seniors was really my goal,” said Jetter, whose game-tying goal came with her team a man down. In a match that went back and forth all day, neither team leading by more than a goal, the final sequence was memorable. Following an impressive run of four straight saves by Bishop’s sophomore goalie Dory Bertics, a steal by senior teammate Sydney Yockey resulted in an open shot for Elle Schneider. The Knights sophomore buried it to put her team up 6-5 with just 1:40 to play in the regulation. Junior Stephanie Plowden then won the draw for the home squad, and Bishop’s tried to run out the clock. But with 20 seconds left, La Jolla pounced on a turnover and
Jetter ran the ball down the field. A timeout with six ticks remaining gave her a breather, and then when play resumed, her shot found the back of the cage. Moments later, the Vikings won the overtime draw and their initial attack ended with Mesri’s heroics. “I was glad they called timeout so I could take a breather to see what’s happening, think it all out in my head and make sure I could get make that shot,” Jetter said of her goal. “(Mesri’s goal) was insane. It looked like a no-angle shot and my mind was blown. It was awesome.” And it wasn’t just the ending that was exciting as the teams were tied at 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5 and 6-6 at different points in the game. It was a fitting contest for a pair of schools separated by just less than a mile within The Jewel. “Overall, it was an awesome game, the schools are down the street from each other, we have a great rivalry going and it will continued for years. We always want to beat Bishop’s,” said La Jolla coach Sam Farrell, whose team improved to 9-3 on the season. “Our girls fought hard to the end and I’m really proud of them. We are definitely pumped about this win.”
And while the result was more disappointing for Bishop’s — the 4-1 Knights suffered just their first loss of the season — coach Meghan Carr said her girls benefit each time they play their neighborhood rivals. “I always like playing La Jolla because it’s a great game to play,” Carr explained. “We like to play aggressively and every year we are about evenly matched. They kids know each other. “In the end it didn’t go our way but I’m really proud of our girls.” Bishop’s was playing catch-up the whole way after Vikings sophomore Sadie Lee opened the scoring on a free-position shot just 70 seconds into the game. After a La Jolla penalty put the Knights a man up, Bishop’s sophomore Drew Hemerick knotted the score at 1-1 with the first of her two goals on the day. Sophomore Maggie Garvey scored the next two Viking goals, while the Knights kept pace with tallies from senior Caroline Edwards and junior Alexandra Tsai to send the teams into halftime at 3-3. Edwards’ goal was particularly impressive as she scooped up a loose ball and darted through several defenders before bending the net.
“Caroline Edwards was getting the ground balls, getting the transition going,” Carr said. “She really shined, positioning the ball where we needed it to be,” After intermission, goalies Bertics and Josie Ballard — a La Jolla sophomore — traded nice saves, then Viking freshman Savanna Zurbriggen gave her team a 4-3 lead with 19:23 to go in regulation. Goals by Hemerick and La Jolla sophomore Shelby Gayner made it 5-4 Vikings just before an impressive game-tying goal by Bishop’s. Freshman Ave Larson started the sequence with a nifty steal inside the Viking half and got the ball to Eileen Mahler. The Knights senior then found a driving Tsai and she put in her second goal of the game. That knotted things up at 5-5 with 10:56 left, setting the stage for the exciting conclusion. For La Jolla, Saturday’s win was a little sweeter as it made up for a loss in this rivalry game last season. The Vikings played at San Diego High on Tuesday (April 5) and will travel to take on a strong Cathedral High squad on Friday (April 8). Speaking of tough opponents, Bishop’s will play at Torrey Pines on Friday night (April 8).

Coast Walk Trail hit by vandals
C
oast Walk Trail, the scenic pathway between Sunny Jim’s Cave Store and Coast Walk at Torrey Pines Road, has experienced a rash of graffiti attacks in recent months, a La Jolla Light reader reports. The fence posts, wooden benches (many of them memorial benches), handrails and fences have been carved into or tagged with spray paint. According to the City of San Diego’s website page on graffiti,
“San Diego Municipal Code makes parents civilly liable for up to $25,000 of property damage caused by their minor children ... Furthermore, California Penal Code makes a parent liable for any fine that his or her minor child is unable to pay. The amount of the fines depends on the amount of the damage; the maximum fine is $50,000.” Anyone with knowledge of these incidents is asked to call the city’s Graffiti Hotline at (619) 527-7500.
Near its entrance at Sunny Jim’s Cave Store, the fence at Coast Walk Trail was ‘hit’ more than once.
The handrail across the bridge at Coast Walk Trail is carved nearly end to end.

T
his year, the 35th annual La Jolla Half Marathon race — organized, staffed and produced by the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla — will see some 10,000-plus people rumbling through the streets of La Jolla on the morning of Sunday, April 24. The runners start off at 7 a.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and by 11 a.m., the last runner is expected to cross the finish line in La Jolla’s Scripps Park. This is the main fundraising event for the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla, and its proceeds are given (in the form of grants and scholarships) to schools, community service and youth service organizations in La Jolla and the greater San Diego area. This year for the first time, we will hold registration and check-in at the Del Mar Hilton Friday, April 22, and Saturday, April 23. As in previous years, we provide shuttle bus service for race participants to the start and finish areas of the race. Due to construction and street repair activities in the Shores’ area, the course map is slightly different this year. The map shown here is the
current best course map, but may be subject to change as Shores construction schedules shift. I will update this information as the situation develops. The Kiwanis Club would like to thank the residents along the race route for their longHenry Chiu standing support and forbearance of any inconveniences the marathon might bring. The bulk of the organizing and staffing of this event is by community volunteers. If you are interested in helping out, please visit our volunteer link at lajollahalfmarathon.com If you, your business, or group would like to support the Kiwanis Club with sponsorship, contact Nicole Rawson at nicole@nicolerawson.com or (858) 829-1049.

Regarding the queries about what happened to La Jolla Shores Beach, North Pacific Beach has disappeared as well, and is now un-usable due to a huge influx of rocks — even at low tide. I’ve been walking on this section of beach for four decades and have never seen anything like this. (See photo at left.) I’m hoping the experts will predict that the rocks will disappear as fast as they appeared! (See A4) Philomène Offen

GUEST COMMENTARY
A MAD can transform a community: Bird Rock case study BY JOE LACAVA y now, many of you are aware of the effort underway to establish a Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) for the Village of La Jolla. The goal of this effort, led by residential and commercial property owners and community leaders, is to develop a dedicated source of revenue to improve the public spaces in the Village. There is little argument that the Village is in need of improvement. Trash cans are frequently overflowing. The sidewalks are dirty. Landscaped areas are not maintained. And all this has taken its toll on our community. The City of San Diego provides a basic level of services to all of its communities, but it is not enough for many neighborhoods. As one of San Diego’s Joe LaCava older neighborhoods, this is especially true for the Village. This is why MADs are so important. They provide a tool for property owners to directly affect the quality of life in their community — funds are generated
B
locally, used locally, and managed locally. With a self-managed MAD decisions about the services to be provided are made by the property owners and other stakeholders that will benefit from them. So the question is, how do we know that the MAD will work? There are 63 MADs in communities throughout the City. From Mission Hills to Downtown to Carmel Valley, these places have successfully used MADs to ensure a steady stream of funding that is guaranteed to be used to improve their neighborhood. In La Jolla, we have a successful example of a MAD in my neighborhood of Bird Rock. Prior to the establishment of the MAD, La Jolla Boulevard, the heart of our neighborhood, was in decline. Businesses were struggling and there was little pedestrian activity, reflecting poorly on our neighborhood. The city’s installation of the roundabouts changed the appearance of the community, but a MAD was needed to maintain them, and to address maintenance issues throughout Bird Rock. Like the MAD proposed for the Village, the Bird Rock MAD is self-managed and includes residential and commercial
property owners and services are provided to benefit both. With 10 years of operation under its belt, I’ve seen firsthand how a MAD can transform a community. Maintenance is consistent and issues are addressed promptly. Bird Rock’s public spaces are clean, beautiful, and activated. And the commercial district is thriving from the increase in pedestrian activity. The real measure of success of the Bird Rock MAD is that residents and merchants came together for the common good of our neighborhood. La Jollans now have a similar opportunity to come together to create this same success for the Village. By pooling investment by all property owners — commercial and residential alike — the entire Village will benefit. We all agree that additional services are needed and are long overdue. A MAD can help us ensure that the quality of life we all value in the Village is maintained and enhanced. — Joe LaCava is a member of the Enhance La Jolla Volunteer Steering Committee and a co-founder of the Bird Rock MAD. If you own property in the Village learn more at http://EnhanceLaJolla.org or contact info@EnhanceLaJolla.org
OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Four ugly things they don’t tell you about the MAD The four ugly things the city and others don’t want to tell you about the establishment of a special Maintenance Area District aka “MAD” are: 1. The City of San Diego uses it as a scapegoat to duck their responsibility. The City of San Diego should be doing a hell of a lot more to support La Jolla. 2. Our District 1 City Councilmember used the Bird Rock MAD as a scapegoat to pay the fees the City of San Diego should’ve paid to have the trash cans emptied at the end of Forward Street and Bird Rock Avenue. 3. La Jolla and La Jollans pay more property tax, federal income tax, and state income tax more per capita than anybody else in the city, so where the hell is our money going to? Certainly not La Jolla, but to other parts of the City and State of California. 4. Demand that the City of San Diego and our District 1 Supervisor do their jobs and clean up this stinking eyesore that was formally the Jewel of San Diego. La Jolla has about 13 different boards and councils now. Isn’t it time we show leadership to the rest of the City of San Diego by creating our own City of La Jolla, and then share that model and success with the rest of the downtrodden areas of San Diego such as Hillcrest, The Midcity and North and South Park? I say yes! Follow me! Lance A. Pelky
(MAD) for the Village of La Jolla. The idea to establish a MAD for the Village came from a concerned group of La Jolla property owners — commercial and residential — who recognized the need for greater maintenance in the community. The fact is the City of San Diego simply doesn’t have the resources to provide the level of maintenance the Village needs. As a result, we see overflowing trash cans, litter in residential areas, dirty sidewalks, graffiti and more that are taking the shine off our “jewel.” MADs are not a new idea. More than 60 neighborhoods have MADs (including Bird Rock) and they enjoy the benefits of added services, a cleaner environment and the positive impacts to the community that result. A MAD will generate revenue from properties in the Village that will be used exclusively to benefit properties in the Village. For both residential and commercial properties, this means that litter will be picked up, sidewalks will be cleaned, graffiti will be abated, and landscaped areas will be maintained on an ongoing basis. It is understandable to question a new fee, but we feel this is long overdue for the Village. We have worked hard to apportion the costs in a fair and balanced way — residential owners will pay a flat annual fee of $86.87 and commercial owners will pay based on their parcel size. As the largest property owner in the Village, the City of San Diego would be the MAD’s top contributor to help fund these enhanced services. We all love the Village and want to help keep it beautiful. A MAD will give us the tool we need to accomplish this goal. Mark Dibella LA VALENCIA HOTEL
A MAD is the tool for restoring the Village Yes to road humps on As the chair of the Enhance La Jolla West Muirlands Drive volunteer Steering Committee, I want to respond to recent letters about the proposed Maintenance Assessment District
I was struck by the short report in last week’s La Jolla Light in which La Jolla
Community Planning Association President Cindy Greatex commented negatively about the petition made by residents of West Muirlands Drive for installation of road humps on their street. Her comments that “It’s been quite a volume of mail — all in disfavor” and “we at LJCPA are expecting a full room —due to this being the second round of traffic calming devices requested by the same people at the same addresses, and also the problems with the first island installation” are (whether intentional or not) potentially prejudicial against the residents’ petition. I think that would be unfortunate! I drive down West Muirlands Drive almost twice daily en route from our home to the Village, and can attest to the unnecessary, often thoughtless, driving by some persons (obviously in a hurry) who use this narrow, windy road to reach Fay Avenue. I agree that the original “island installation” attempt to calm traffic just before reaching the school has been a failure, and should probably be removed — in favor of judicious, and carefully placed road humps above and below that perilous section of the road. David H. Katz, M.D.
Water District must make rate model open to public I’m writing about about a serious problem facing San Diego County and I’m asking for your help to protect our ecomony from predatory water rates and charges being considered by the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. I invite you to take a moment and weigh in on this important issue. The MWD board is scheduled to vote April 12 on a rate proposal that would increase the cost of treated water for our region in 2017 by 62 percent and increase the cost of untreated water by 12 percent.
The district’s public relation’s spin is that the “average” cost increase for its entire service area is 4 percent — but that number doesn’t apply to the San Diego County Water Authority. MWD’s methodology increases San Diego County’s costs while lowering costs for Los Angeles, without any rational basis for doing so. The huge proposed increase in the treated water rate is the result of a new fixed treatment charge that will be a permanent tax that doesn’t go away — no matter how much or little treated water MWD’s member agencies actually purchase. It accomplishes this feat by basing the charge on treated water purchases during the time period 1998-2007; MWD’s approach is not supported by water industry practice or California law. MWD is also increasing by 6 percent the “wheeling rate” paid by the water authority to transport its independent Colorado River water to San Diego. And, it is proposing to increase property taxes by $112 million in 2017 and 2018, in a manner that is inconsistent with the laws that govern MWD. Lastly, MWD is continuing to impose rates and charges based on a methodology ruled illegal in superior court last year. The judge invalidated MWD’s transportation rates for 2011-2014, finding that they violated numerous provisions of California law and the state Constitution. He also ordered MWD to pay the water authority $188.3 million in damages and $46.6 million in prejudgment interest. The judge mandated that MWD “enact only legal transportation and wheeling rates in the future” and “set its rates based upon cost causation” — that is, MWD must charge for its services based only on what it costs to provide them. Despite the clear ruling, MWD is poised to adopt two more years of illegal rates. Please join me in asking MWD to make its rate model public, and produce a cost-of-service study and rates and charges SEE LETTERS, A28

Make the switch from plastic shopping bags I moved from Switzerland to La Jolla more than a year ago and immediately fell in love with the city and its people. I had the idea that in California, people were highly aware of the big problem of plastic pollution and its adverse effects on the environment, wildlife and humans. So, it was really shocking to me to see how much of a common practice was to have

The
available plastic bags in so many shops in La Jolla and surrounding areas. When we shop for groceries in Switzerland, we have two options to carry out our supplies: 1) pay for paper bags or 2) organize them in our own shopping bags. In Switzerland, plastic bags are almost extinct from the cashier station and are given for a few special occasions. When I started to shop for groceries in La Jolla, I ended up having lots of plastic bags to carry for a few products, and as they accumulated at home, I had to store them as I didn’t want to throw them away since I could reuse them. This became a challenge. Then I discovered with great pleasure that I could ask for paper bags instead of plastic bags and I could reuse them. What a good change! I want to bring your awareness to this matter; avoiding plastic bags is not only good for me/you and my/your family, but also for the reduced plastic chemicals in the environment. I want to encourage people who still use plastic bags to change their habits. You will be very helpful! Maria Delgado

Jane ‘Desdy’ Kellogg Baggott November 6, 1926 - March 31, 2016
LA JOLLA — Jane Kellogg Baggott, a.k.a. Desdy Kellogg, left this world on March 31, 2016, at her home in La Canada, CA with her daughter, Jane Kellogg, by her side. She fought a long and hard battle with cancer, extending her life for more than two and half years beyond the initial pronouncement of three months. During those two and a half years, she made the most of her extra time on earth and accomplished more in that time than many people accomplish in a lifetime. This was a testament to the amazing and talented woman she was. Desdy was born in La Jolla, CA to William and Helen Jackson. Her maiden name was Jane Catherine Jackson. As she put it herself, “I was born there so long ago that the most controversial issue in town was whether or not to remove the horse watering trough from the center of Girard Avenue”. This would have been an important issue for her because one of her lifelong passions was horses. Her first riding lessons were at the Del Charro Woods stables in La Jolla Shores (no longer there) and she told us stories of riding on the beach, riding to the top of Mt. Soledad for Saturday morning pancake breakfasts and riding across the mesa with the Meanley brothers to have barbecues at their house
in Miramar Ranch. As she tells the story, she met her future father-in-law, William Scripps Kellogg while riding her horse along Ardath Road (La Jolla Parkway for those new to town). Mr. Kellogg asked her to take his daughter, Jean Kellogg, riding with her and a lifelong friendship was formed. Desdy was an accomplished horsewoman and later became a riding Instructor for the Bishop’s School, working out of a stable located on Ardath Road. She again encountered Mr. Kellogg, and this time he managed to introduce her to his son, Will. They were married in 1950 in La Jolla, CA and Jean Kellogg was her maid of honor. Desdy and Will initially set up house in Santa Paula, CA, where they published the Santa Paula Chronicle, but they soon moved to Altadena, CA where they raised their family of four children: Bill, Bob, Fred and Jane. Desdy developed a
lifelong passion for art and became an accomplished sculptress and painter. She held frequent art shows in Altadena, supported the arts in many ways and promoted the works of her husband’s aunt, Elena Scripps Kellogg. Aunt Elena was also an accomplished horsewoman, who rode with her brother in the Rose Parade of 1911 (they won a trophy) and eventually acquired the Altadena Stables. She passed the stables on to Desdy and Will, who ultimately made many improvements to the operation. Today, the Altadena Stables, owned and operated by Desdy for many years, is a gem tucked away on the side of the Arroyo Seco. Desdy added Danny’s School to the property, a school dedicated to teaching autistic kids. Desdy loved tennis and sports of all kinds. She dabbled in community politics – many times going through the neighborhood collecting signatures for the cause of the day. She took in animals of all kinds and had an amazing menagerie at home featuring: peacocks, chickens, a woolly monkey, a parrot, a skunk, Daphne the opossum, a chicken coop, a snake and many dogs (German Shepherds were her favorite). She was a natural target for the guy from the Humane Society. And she simply loved people.
After Will’s passing in 1989, Desdy eventually remarried. As she put it: “I encountered Charles Baggott, who had been one of my (difficult) pupils during the early days of the Altadena Stables. Since I don’t give up easily, we married and I am still trying to persuade him to follow directions.” They moved to La Canada, where they have resided for the rest of her life. Desdy was a member of the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, Valley Hunt Club, the Altadena Town & Country Club, the Athenaeum, the Flintridge Riding Club, the California Art Club, the American Saddlebred Breeder’s Association among many others. She was always a “force to be reckoned with”, a compassionate and caring person who made a huge positive difference in many peoples’ lives, and a person who lived life to the fullest. She is survived by her husband, Charles Baggott; her brother, Robert Jackson; her four children, William J. Kellogg, Robert P. Kellogg, Frederick C. Kellogg and Jane J. Kellogg; twelve grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. Services will be held at the Mountain View Cemetery Chapel, 2400 Fair Oaks Avenue, Altadena, CA 91011, at 11:00am on Wednesday, April 6, 2016.

THIS JUST IN Deadline is April 13 for non-partisan mail-in ballot requests
V
oters who don’t belong to a political party have less than a week to request a mail ballot if they wish to vote in the presidential primary without having to visit their local polling place. Nonpartisan ballots do not list presidential candidates, but nonpartisan voters can still participate in the Democratic, Libertarian or American Independent partisan primaries. To do so, they must complete and return a postcard the county Registrar of Voters mailed in March and indicate which party’s ballot they’d like to receive. The deadline is April 13. Nonpartisan voters who can’t find the postcard should call the registrar’s office at (858) 565-5800. Around 300,000 cards were mailed, and so far around 29,000 have been returned, and nearly all are requesting a Democratic ballot, Registrar Michael Vu said. Nonpartisan voters cannot request a Republican, Green, or Peace and Freedom vote-by-mail ballot as only registered party members can vote in those respective primaries.

Two lectures tackle climate change at the crossroads • Scripps Institution of Oceanography climate scientists Professor Lynn Russell and colleague Ellie Farahani will present the documentary film, “Merchants of Doubt,” based on the book written by former UC San Diego science historian Naomi Oreskes, now at Harvard. Russell uses the film in her teaching. It demonstrates how climate change deniers and special interests have attempted to influence the science-policy landscape. The free event is set for 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 21 in Seuss Room at Geisel Library on UCSD campus. • Professor Emeritus Richard Somerville will discuss “Climate Change: Strong Science, Forceful Actions, Positive Outcomes,” 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 28, also in Seuss Room at Geisel Library on UCSD campus. Somerville has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of the key physical processes that fuel climate change. Last year he was awarded the American Geophysical Union’s Climate Communication Prize. The author or co-author of more than 200 scientific publications, Somerville’s award-winning book, “The Forgiving Air: Understanding Environmental Change,” was reissued by the American Meteorological Society. This event is also free and open to the public. For more details,

Her father was a butcher and her mother was a homemaker. She had two older brothers, Ernest and Fritz. Ernest is 102 and resides in New Jersey. Fritz died in 1980 at the age of 68. anneliese arrived in New York City on December 22, 1938, despite a treacherous journey escaping Hitler. She managed to diligently work her way into the garment district where she learned to become a fabulous seamstress. She met her husband, Herbert, a doctor, on the tennis courts in New York City. Within four months, they were married in 1940. Being the adventurous type, they managed to work their way West. They first made a stop in oklahoma but eventually made a loving home in Hobbs, New Mexico. anneliese and Herbert were married for 52 years
as Herbert died on april 30, 1992. They bore three children, Linda, Stephen and Susan. Herbert was a doctor who developed a prestigious practice as the local doctor who made house calls at any time of day or night. They lived on 40 acres in the country where they developed the land by leasing the acreage in order to farm cotton and corn. anneliese studied art in Berlin, Germany, until she had to escape in 1938. She continued her studies in art by officially graduating from San Diego State University in 1974 with a degree of Bachelor of arts in art. She further developed her artistic talents by exhibiting her art within the La Jolla Watercolor Society as
well as the San Diego Watercolor Society. She had several one woman art shows in La Jolla. She competed monthly in shows and continually came home with awards. She painted all media of art including watercolor, chalk, pastel and oil. Her passion flourished in life drawings and nudes in her later years using watercolor, pen and ink and chalk.

She sewed clothes, made an oasis out of the desert with her gardening talents, played bridge and tennis and continued to develop her name as a watercolorist. She became a Diamond Life Master in duplicate bridge by earning 5,000+ points. She competed nationally as well as locally in tournaments in order to earn this prestigious award. She learned to play bridge on the computer with people all over the world. This, she would say, was her ‘medicine’! as a young child in Germany, she also played
tennis competitively. She continued her love of the sport by playing competitive tennis until the age of 90 where she won awards in many tournaments in the Doubles Hard Court arena in La Jolla.

Michael spent some of his early years in New Bedford, Ma, with his grandparents, Elise and Lucien Bernique. Because of this, his first language was French and a life-long love of France and all things French ensued. Michael lived in a number of cities during his childhood including Karlsruhe, Germany, and Washington, D.C. after attending several prep schools, in June 1961 he graduated from Williston academy (now Williston Northampton School). He went on to Notre Dame for his undergraduate studies earning a Bachelor of arts degree in June 1965.

Michael is a legend in the Swift boat community and a number of books about the Vietnam era write of him and the subsequent change in naval operations his actions brought about. after honorable discharge from the Navy, Michael went on to earn his Master of arts in Social Sciences (International Relations) in December 1970 at the University of Chicago. He began his business career at IBM and quickly moved up the management ladder at IBM. always aspiring, he moved on
to higher executive management positions in such companies as Exxon, Federal Signal Corp, Northern Telecom, Motorola, DSC, and locally in San Diego as President of General Instrument. During his retirement he served on several boards including CPS Technologies and RFMI. Michael possessed a prodigious intellect, incisive wit, commanding presence, deep voice and hearty laugh. His French accent and understanding of the French language, linguistics and idioms was so impeccable that the French assumed him native French. He was a fervent Notre Dame football fan and forever passionate about watching their games. His other loves included French and world history, art and antiques, travel, fine dining, French wines and cognacs, and golf. He is a former member of Bent Tree Country Club in Dallas, played golf regularly at Golf du Cognac while he lived in the PoitouCharentes region of France, and is a member of La Jolla Country Club and La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club.

including Chicago, atlanta, Dallas, La Jolla and Saintes, France. on November 1, 2011, Michael married Michele “Mimi” Bonvillain Ellingsen and they resided in Dallas and now La Jolla. Early in 2012 Michael was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Face and thus began a prolonged and brave battle against the disease. Never separated in spirit or in person Michael and Mimi fought to overcome his cancer. Many thanks go to the doctors and medical personnel at UCSD and UCSD Moore’s Cancer Center. Their excellent medical attention and never-ending caring support provided great help and comfort to Michael and Mimi throughout their entire journey.

St. Jordi Jubilee
Spanish celebration of books, roses, love coming to Warwick’s BY ASHLEY MACKIN fter experiencing the grandeur and lore of St. Jordi’s Day in Barcelona, Spain last year, Nancy Warwick of Warwick’s bookstore decided to bring the celebration to La Jolla. On Saturday, April 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Warwick’s will host a St. Jordi’s Day Festival with a day full of traditional activities at 7812 Girard Ave.
A
The Spanish version of Valentine’s Day, St. Jordi’s Day is celebrated by lovers exchanging books and red roses in the town square. As the legend goes, a dragon terrorized a medieval town with no hero in sight to save the day. According to one version of the tale, frustrated that the royal family would not send someone to help, the villagers decided a princess would be sacrificed to the dragon. Enter
Saint George (Sant Jordi in Spain), a knight who came to save the princess — and the townspeople — by slaying the dragon. After the village was saved, he then plucked a red rose to give to the princess. In addition to celebrating the heroics of St. Jordi, the event honors literary personalities Michael de Cervantes, William SEE ST. JORDI, B24
Eighth-grader wins Mickey Award, qualifies for state Science Fair BY EMILY WILLIAMSON The Children’s School or Tyler Billings, an eighth-grader at The Children’s School in La Jolla, the time and effort he put into his science fair project, “Does College Help NBA Players or Hold Them Back?” has been very rewarding. During the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair Awards Night, in late March, Tyler was awarded First Place, and then was later called to the stage as winner of the “Mickey Award,” for the sports-related project that most captures the spirit of the late Mr. Mikkelson, a sports, engineering, science fair enthusiast. Additionally, Tyler was recognized as a
F
Broadcom Masters nominee and has qualified to enter the 65th annual California State Science Fair to be held in the California Science Center on May 23-24. This year 1,000 participants from 400 schools throughout the state will meet in competition for awards totaling $50,000. Tyler’s science fair project started as a class assignment to design an experiment and collect data on a topic of the student’s choice. As a huge basketball fan, Tyler chose to research the NBA’s ban on players entering the league straight from high school. He looked at 140 players who entered the NBA between 1995 and 2005 and played for a minimum of 10 years. Using various
categories, such as All-Star game appearances and length of NBA tenure, Tyler ranked the players, and found that those entering straight from high school had the best success in the NBA. At the completion of the class assignment, Tyler and his 14 eighth-grade classmates entered their projects into the Science and Engineering Fair; nine of them were accepted into the competition. Tyler was thrilled to have his project accepted into the fair, but never dreamed of finding such success. Science teacher Tina Brown said of Tyler’s success, “I am so proud of him! He did a tremendous amount of research and worked hard to clearly articulate his finding.”

Kitchen Shrink’s Rustic Squid Sauce
Pop the Question
R
La Jolla Cultural Partners
eaders are constantly querying me about how to solve assorted culinary crises. A panicked newlywed recently contacted me when her husband asked her to prepare a casual meal for his boss who he would be bringing home after their round of golf. He told her to throw some steaks on the barbecue, and bake a couple of potatoes. She was fine with the steak part, but needed advice on the spuds. I told her to preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, scrub the potatoes, rub the skins with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, then stick a fork in them and bake for about 60 minutes. After an hour she e-mailed me complaining that she had burned her fingers on the inserted fork. While I had told her to stick a fork in the potatoes, she didn’t realize she had to remove it before baking. My mistake for not being crystal clear on the instructions. Now, here are my precise answers to your latest culinary questions. Q: Is there any way to tenderize calamari? A: Squid is a treasure of the sea with tender tentacles simmered in sauces, soups, paellas and stews, while the tubes are typically sliced into rings, breaded and fried for a popular calamari appetizer. These rings tend to be chewy, and sometimes even rubbery. Marinating in milk for an hour or longer will help tenderize the tubes. Also, by cooking low
and slow, or fast over high heat will make this delicacy less of a work out on the jaw. Q: How can you tell if baking powder and baking soda are still fresh? A. These powdery white substances are leavening agents to make your cakes and breads rise by a chemical reaction that creates bubbles of carbon dioxide. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, a pure base that needs to combine with an acid to counter its acerbic taste. When it mixes with liquids, the chemical reaction is an immediate one. Doughs and batters need to be baked pronto, or the baking soda won’t have leavening effects. Baking powder, on the other hand, is a hybrid being both an acid and a base, blending sodium bicarbonate with cream of tartar and starch, yielding a neutral taste. It is typically used in recipes with other neutral-tasting ingredients like milk. While these do not spoil, they simply lose their leavening properties. To test for freshness with baking soda blend one teaspoon with two tablespoons of plain vinegar. If it doesn’t effervesce, then discard. For baking powder mix one teaspoon with one-third cup of hot water. If bubbles form then it’ll still do the trick. Q: Most baking recipes call for unsalted butter, but if I don’t have any on hand can I use salted butter? A. While baking lends best to sweet cream
■ Ingredients • 3/4-pound fresh squid, tentacles and tubes (sliced into rings) •1/3 cup virgin olive oil • Juice from one lemon • 4 Roma tomatoes, chopped • 1 handful fresh flat leaf Italian parsley, chopped • 2 garlic cloves, chopped • Sea salt, oregano, and cayenne pepper to taste To tenderize, pre-soak calamari rings in bowl of organic milk. Rinse. (Optional). ■ Method: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on medium and sauté garlic until tender. Add squid, tomatoes,
(unsalted) butters, you can still use the salted variety, just don’t add any salt to the recipe. Q: What is spring garlic? A. Tender spring garlic, also called green garlic, young garlic or garlic shoots that resembles a baby leek is an immature version of white-skinned American garlic that has not yet developed its mighty bulb of pungent cloves. While milder in aroma and taste, spring garlic still has the essence of regular garlic, and can be used as a substitute for vinaigrettes, dips, stews, sauces and pesto dishes without the collateral damage of bad breath. Q: Is there an alternative method for making
lemon, remaining olive oil and seasonings. Cook until tender (about 10 minutes). Toss with egg noodles and sprinkle with parsley. (Serves 2.) —Reach the Kitchen Shrink via e-mail: kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
risotto without having to stir the rice constantly until done? A. Risotto is a creamy northern Italian dish made from super starchy, short grain Arborio rice in a wine and broth sauce. The traditional stove-top preparation is tedious and tiring since it requires continuous stirring until several cups of liquid (adding one cup at a time) are absorbed. An alternative methodology starts with sautéing the rice in wine in an oven-proof dish or Dutch oven, then adding the entire quantity of liquid and baking until the liquid is absorbed and the rice tender.

Schwab sisters recommend new Timken exhibit BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO Two very talented sisters from La Jolla — Social Diary photographer/ publisher Margo Schwab and historian/archaeologist/artist Katherine Schwab — joyfully celebrated the opening of a masterful work by Katherine on March 31, which is on exhibit through June 5 at the Timken Museum in Balboa Park.
Katherine created a series of some 30 drawings that address the tone, depth and texture of the sculptural reliefs of the Parthenon in Athens, which have been comprised by age, weather and pollution. The works celebrate the famed mythological battles between the Olympian Gods and Giants, as well as the sacking of Troy. “She’s amazing,” boasted Margo.
FREE ACT PRACTICE TESTS
Of “An Archaeologist’s Eye: The Parthenon Drawings of Katherine A. Schwab,” University of San Diego Art Professor Derrick Cartwright said, “In studying these contemporary interpretations of culture created 2,500 years ago, we remind ourselves of the enduring quality that informs the best creative processes.” Katherine has taught at Fairfield University in Connecticut since 1988, after completing her Ph.D. at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. She has served as department chair for two years, and as Art History program director for several years. Her areas of expertise encompass Greek and Roman Art and Archaeology, as well as South Asian and Asian Art.
The exhibition was organized by the Bellarmine Museum of Art, Fairfield University and Creighton Universiy, with help from former Timken director John Wilson. ■ IF YOU GO: Related events include lectures by art historian Marina Belozerskaya, “The Parthenon Through Many Eyes,” 10 a.m. Monday, April 11 (free); and “Classical Hairstyles: Identity, Society and Fashion,” by Katherine Schwab, 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 5 (ticketed event). The Timken is open free of charge, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, and noon to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, on the Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park. (619) 239-5548. timkenmuseum.org

Why ACT over SAT?
Current Harvard Admission Board Director Dr. Andre Tran explains why to choose ACT over SAT:
ACT has a science section (this section doesn’t test •science knowledge, but instead critical thinking and
ability to draw conclusions from data presented) ACT has a concise writing section, asking you to choose an argument and defend it ACT Math is straightforward, has no data-analysis, and a calculator is permitted There are no long lists of vocabulary words to memorize

Fusion Academy University City is revolutionary Fusion Academy University City is a revolutionary private middle and high school where positive relationships unlock academic potential. We are a nontraditional community of learning with the smallest class size possible: one student and one teacher per classroom. This allows us to personalize and customize curriculum for each student’s unique strengths, interests, and learning style. This one-to-one model also allows for customized scheduling. Students can enroll at any time, even during the summer, and take classes at a time that works best for them.
Our supportive staff and campus environment provide a safe space for students to flourish emotionally, socially, and academically. It includes a state-of-theart recording studio and a mixed-media art studio for students to express their creativity. Our Homework Café® is where students complete all their homework before they leave for the day with help and supervision from a teacher. Classes are offered at three levels: essential, college prep, and honors. From algebra to yoga and everything in between, we have a wide variety of classes to choose from. Students can enroll full-time, take classes for credit, or utilize our tutoring services. In addition to academics, we partner with outside therapeutic professionals to support students’ emotional health and help foster a balanced life. While it’s impossible to put our students into categories, we generally serve students with the following backgrounds: ADHD, accelerated/gifted learners,
dyslexia, dysgraphia and learning differences, social challenges and school anxiety, or students with challenging schedules. Students who attend Fusion have one thing in common: traditional school isn’t working. Fusion started right here in San Diego when our Founder, Michelle Rose Gilman, began tutoring and mentoring students out of a garage in her home. She and her team later expanded their offerings, moved into a building, and became the revolutionary private school we know today. Since then, Fusion has grown to more than 30 campuses across the country in California, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Texas. Fusion Solana Beach was our very first campus, and we are thrilled to be opening Fusion University City on April 11th. Chevie, a parent at our Dallas, TX campus, says “I’m so grateful for Fusion and what it’s done for my son. He suffers from anxiety and depression with some learning differences… [The Staff has] done an amazing job of getting to know him and teaching him in a way that engages him. The entire staff welcomes him and he finally feels like he fits in. He loves the one on one with the teachers and is able to learn at his pace. Fusion has saved his life and brought happiness back into his school world.” Fusion University City is opening on April 11th and is located at 5060 Shoreham Place, Suite 130, in San Diego. A great way to connect with us and learn more is to attend one of our events. Learn more at FusionUniversityCity.com.
Catch up, get ahead, or try something new! On your time, at your pace, for fun or for credit. Taught just for you - one-to-one -always. Join us for a summer semester! Fusion Academy is an accredited school for grades 6 through 12. We provide a comprehensive learning solution for students of all ages, on their terms, fit to their schedule, and crafted to support their unique learning style. We offer academic tutoring, enrichment, and classes for credit - all just one teacher and one student per classroom.

The Old Globe’s ‘Rain’ is intense and gripping
B
ravo to the efforts and talents of composer/lyricist Michael John LaChiusa, book writer Sybille Pearson, and Old Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein for their musical interpretation of Somerset Maugham’s 1920’s short story “Rain,” onstage through May 1. The first awe-moment greets playgoers as they enter the theater and get their first look at the massive three-story structure that represents the modest Horn Hotel in Pago Pago, Samoa. The Globe’s design team did an excellent job of creating an area void of most things a hotel would have, such as beds, but through their inventive structure, words can flow through with the winds and it’s easy to keep track of the tenants. The next awe-moments arrive as the actors portray the drama. The hotel is run by Jo (Jeremy Davis) and his wife Noi Noi (MarieFrance Arcilla). Due to a problem with their ship, the passengers are stranded and fill the rooms and Noi Noi is not happy so many strangers are in her space. The guests vary in their personalities. Minister Alfred Davidson (Jared Zirilli) and his wife Anna (Elizabeth A. Davis) are on the island to save souls. Their mingling with other guests is unavoidable and their
mission becomes somewhat explosive. Guests Louisa (Betsy Morgan) and hubby Alec’s (Tally Sessions) relationship is rocky from the beginning. He has a drinking problem, shows little affection for his wife, and is immediately drawn to the badly behaved prostitute Sadie Thompson (Eden Espinosa), who quickly sets her eyes on all the men. Days pass slowly and although the hotel is wide open, unexpected situations and guest’s contacts become a fog of change with each one’s hopes and desires. The play is well cast. Zirilli is very believable in Alfred’s adjustments to his beliefs and behaviors. Davis is genuine in how she deals with her husband’s changes. Sessions pulls off his no-so-nice character so well, he’s easy not to like. Meanwhile, it’s just as easy to feel for his wife, humbly played by Morgan. Espinosa is the attention-stealer. She captivates in every sexy, determined-to-get-her-man, and naughty scene. Offering a nice balance from the weight of the serious situations is humor from Arcilla. She delivers surprises to the guests as she badgers her husband to get rid of them all. When he keeps reminding her
The cast of the musical ‘Rain,’ onstage through May 1 at The Old Globe Theatre they are making money from these tenants, she pops up in different hiding spots and throws fruit at him. The occasional rain (real water) that pours down on the set intensifies the drama. The music and lyrics by LaChiusa are a great asset in heightening the emotions of the story. If the plot seems familiar, it’s because the story became a stage play in 1923 and was later developed into several films: the 1928 silent

film “Sadie Thompson,” starring Gloria Swanson; “Rain,” starring Joan Crawford in 1932; and Rita Hayworth as “Miss Sadie Thompson” in the 1953 film. ■ IF YOU GO: The show is for mature audiences only. “Rain” runs through May 1 on the Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

Murfey Construction 858.352.6864
The [High] Rise of San Diego— and What it Means for You Many residents of San Diego are now aware of Downtown’s new Pacific Gate project at Broadway and Pacific Highway, Bosa Development’s 41-story, 215-condo structure. This is a marquee project designed to crown the Pacific Gateway waterfront project, which will also include a Ritz Carlton hotel. Downtown’s planning agency, Civic San Diego, has reported there are another 63 projects in various stages of review, approval, or
construction currently underway and valued at over $6.4 billion. Residents It is an exciting time in San Diego, but also one that asks many questions about the future identity of the city. Development has been booming along the California coast, starting with the tech boom in San Francisco, and now in Downtown Los Angeles. But that has also led to some residents being priced out of their community, or other businesses being forced to other locations, as the new million-dollar starting price for the Bosa condos will likely do. But if you can’t afford one of the new million-dollar condos, it’s not all bad news. Now may be a good time to invest in Downtown-adjacent neighborhoods, where urban sprawl will likely attract the young, hip and diverse crowd who want to be in the proximity of a vibrant and
revitalized city. Keep in mind that the redevelopment is slated for incremental growth over the next decade, so don’t feel that you have to pack your bags just yet. Businesses If you’re interested in starting or moving your business, now is the best time to get into a Downtown space, before the major boom hits. As San Diego becomes more densely urbanized, the population growth will create a demand for jobs— and workspace. Most of the younger generation who either can’t afford to live in the suburbs (or don’t wish to) want to be able to walk or ride their bikes (and eventually take public transportation) to work. Tech companies are already moving into the area, as they did with San Francisco and Los Angeles. This will bring in more residents who want to live near work, and it will increase demand
for restaurants and shopping that are also equally walkable. There are even planned developments slated for mixed-use spaces, similar to the in-progress renovation of the old May Company Building as the new Broadway Trade Center in Downtown Los Angeles. Urban Infill One of the best ways to maximize city space is to rely on urban infill projects. These projects take vacant lots or decrepit buildings and build new structures in the available space, or are projects like the Broadway Trade Center that update existing structures and maximize the space available.

Leguizamo brings a ‘Latin History for Morons’ to La Jolla Playhouse BY DIANA SAENGER “John Leguizamo: Latin History for Morons,” unfolds at the La Jolla Playhouse Mandell Weiss Theatre April 6-17, as part of its Page To Stage New Play Development program. Created and performed by Leguizamo, the show is directed by Tony Taccone, who is returning to the Playhouse after several other productions. This is Leguizamo’s second Page To Stage New Play at the Playhouse. In 2010, he performed “Ghetto Klown,” which later went on to Broadway and won the Drama Desk and Outer Critic Circle Awards for Outstanding Solo Performance by Leguizamo. The multi-talented and Emmy Award-winner Leguizamo is known for his comedy in many films (“Chef,” “Super Mario Bros,” “Ride Along”) and as the hilarious voice of the lazy sloth, Sid, in the “Ice Age” movies. Taccone’s work as the Michael Leibert Artistic Director of Berkeley Rep, new work “Culture Clash,” “Continental Divide” in London and on Broadway, and “Tiny Kushner,” along with many others, has garnered him many accolades. As a playwright, he debuted “Ghost Light,” “Rita Moreno: Life Without Makeup” and “Game On,” co-written with Dan Hoyle. In 2012, Taccone received the Margo Jones Award for “demonstrating a significant impact, understanding, and affirmation of playwriting, with a commitment to the living theatre.” He said he became aware of Leguizamo’s talents when the actor came to Berkley with “Ghetto Klown.” “John is astonishing,” Taccone said. “His talents are enormous, his intelligence and obvious comic abilities are top-of-the-line. We also share a culture, as my mother is Puerto Rican. Latin History is something we both inherited, have opinions about, and know stories we want to share.” With his energy as rampant as that of his Sid character, Leguizamo needs a director who understands that. Taccone said he does and was excited for this opportunity. “His bordering-on-manic

A pants-free John Leguizamo stars in his ‘Latin History for Morons’ at La Jolla Playhouse until April 17. energy is something we have in common. He’s very serious about his work. There’s kind of a sheen over the work that makes it look like it’s just put together, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s very much a craftsman, a rigorous artist who takes the work seriously, in spite of the fact it often borders on lunacy. So like any great clown, he’s a serious artist.” Taccone said this show is one of the funniest he’s ever worked on. But also found the historical elements important. “It’s a carousel of laughs,” Taccone said. “The idea of one man staging the wars between Montezuma and Cortez in the decline of the
Aztec Empire and told in three minutes of choreographed insanity is inspired by a man wanting his son to know more about history, and is also a way for John to educate himself and his son. Through this piece, with its challenges and struggles, the audience will understand, be enriched and inspired by the parent/child dynamic of what’s going on and the history itself.” ■ IF YOU GO: “John Leguizamo: Latin History for Morons” runs through April 17 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive.

ENHANCE LA JOLLA MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT
Griffith reinterprets residential fence and gate patterns into elaborate and abstract sculptures and installations made from hand-cut paper and water jet cut aluminum and other metals.
New artist takes the Lux show-and-tell stage
FROM LUX ART INSTITUTE REPORTS argaret Griffith is in the house! Griffith is the fourth of five resident artists participating in the 2015-2016 season at Lux Art Institute. She is living and working at Lux through April 23, and her exhibit will run through May 28. Griffith begins with photographs of gates that she transforms into flowing, organic sculptures. The twisting and billowing pieces, made from waterjet cut aluminum and hand cut paper, are installed along the wall, suspended from the ceiling, and piled on the floor. The result is one of visual and conceptual floating, as a previously rigid and recognizable architectural detail becomes abstract in form and function. In deconstructing and reconstructing a tangible object of residential living, Griffith both reexamines the function of the gate and explores its metaphorical role in creating divisions and boundaries in modern American society. “It is important to me that the forms be stripped of functionality yet recognizable as urban structures that were constructed to protect and divide one space from another within a complex residential environment,” she said. Griffith received her BFA in painting from Maryland Institute College of Art in 1994 and MFA in sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan in 2001. She has exhibited throughout the United States, including solo exhibitions at the Ruth Bachofner Gallery in Santa Monica and

Gala proceeds will benefit patient care and research at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, including to help launch a new Cancer Immunotherapy Program, which will make possible groundbreaking immunotherapy clinical trials with novel drugs and vaccines, as well as an experimental treatment where patients’ own immune cells are genetically engineered to fight their cancer. Gala co-chairs Wanda and Cam Garner know firsthand how destructive the disease can be. Cancer has touched four generations of Cam’s family, primarily in the form of leukemia and lymphoma. His father died at age 49, when Cam was 17, and his sister died at age 39. His brother and mother also died of cancer-related causes, and his niece has been diagnosed. “We want to be sure that San Diego has a world-class cancer center, with the best doctors and researchers, so that no one here needs to leave in order to receive the highest quality of care,” said the Garners.

Crowds at St. Jordi’s Day in Barcelona
COURTESY
FROM ST. JORDI, B1 Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso. As such, the festivities include men giving their sweethearts a red rose, and they in return, get a book. Reportedly, more books are sold on St. Jordi’s Day in Barcelona than the rest of the year combined. “Nothing can prepare the first-time visitor for the floods of people who take to the streets in Barcelona in an enthusiastic celebration of literature and romance,” Warwick said. “It is simultaneously romantic and a celebration of the intellect. How could we not introduce such a festive tradition to Warwick’s and our La Jolla community?” Added volunteer Stacey Haerr, “In Barcelona, they shut down the streets, and booksellers and publishers put booths all up on the streets and sell books all day. They also have people reading sonnets and actors break out into plays. They know how to celebrate and have fun — so we’re trying to emulate that.” At the local celebration, representatives from Penguin and Random House publishing will provide their top book recommendations and Adelaide’s Florist will sell roses. Throughout the day, music professor and classic guitarist Fred Benedetti will play Spanish music. At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. costumed volunteers will lead a storytime for children. Starting at noon, Spanish bites (particularly Paella) will be served. Periodically, a gallant knight will read works by Cervantes. Raffle drawings will also be held every half hour from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no charge for admission. “It’s going to be a cultural event we have not had before and an introduction to a Barcelona tradition,” Haerr said. “It’s a chance for people to share their love of books with those they love. Plus, children will get to participate in a new festival they might never have heard of.” Children are encouraged to come dressed up as a knight or a princess, and Haerr alluded that a few Warwick’s employees will do the same. For storytime, there will be a costumed knight and dragon. Because the event will be heralded as “a day of celebrating literacy,” 10 percent of proceeds will go to the libraries of La Jolla’s elementary schools: La Jolla, Bird Rock and Torrey Pines.

Expert says ease into gardening with a raised bed BY MELINDA MYERS aise your garden to new heights for easier access and greater productivity. Raised beds allow you to overcome poor soil by creating the ideal growing mix, plus make gardening time more comfortable thanks to less bending and kneeling. Whether you purchase a kit or build your own, there are a few things to consider when creating a raised bed garden. Locate the garden in a sunny area if possible. Most plants require at least six hours of sun, and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers and melons produce best with a full day of sunlight. Select a long-lasting material such as interlocking block, fieldstone, plastic lumber or naturally long lasting wood like cedar. The material selected will influence the shape and size of your garden. Some materials allow for curved beds while others are limited to squares, rectangles and other angular shapes. Design your raised bed to fit your space and your needs. A three- or four-feet width makes it easy to reach all parts of the garden for planting, weeding and harvesting. Raising your planting bed at least 8 to 12 inches improves drainage and provides an adequate space for most plants to root and grow. If you want to minimize bending, go higher. Add benches to increase your gardening comfort and ease. (Find free downloadable plans for building a raised bed garden with benches in just one afternoon at bonnieplants.com/library)

Raised bed gardens with benches make it easier to plant, maintain and harvest. Roughen or loosen the existing soil surface if your bed is built on compact, slow-draining soil. This will allow water to readily move from the raised bed into the soil below. Cover the bottom of the bed with newspaper or cardboard, if needed, to suffocate existing weeds and grass. Line the bottom of your raised bed with hardware cloth to reduce the risk of animals burrowing into your garden. Lay the hardware cloth over the ground and bend it
up along the inside of the raised bed walls. Fill the bed with a quality growing mix that is well drained but also able to retain moisture and nutrients. This may be a mixture of quality topsoil and compost, a high quality potting mix, or a planting mix designed specifically for raised bed gardens. Grow any plants that you normally would grow in ground. Just make sure the plants are suited to the growing conditions (such as sunlight, heat and wind) in your area. Since
the soil mix and drainage is ideal in a raised garden, you will be able to grow more plants per square foot. Just be sure to leave sufficient room for plants to reach their mature size. Keep your plants healthy and productive with proper watering. This even more crucial in a fast-draining raised bed. The simple act of raising the garden height increases drainage, and a raised bed filled with planting mix means more frequent watering. Consider using drip irrigation or soaker hoses for watering ease. Always water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Add some mulch to help reduce watering and the need for other garden maintenance. Spread a layer of evergreen needles, pine straw, shredded leaves or other organic matter over the soil surface. This helps conserve moisture, suppresses weeds and adds nutrients to the soil as it decomposes. You’ll spend less time watering and weeding throughout the season. Add an organic fertilizer at planting if your planting mix does not already contain one. Apply again mid-season if the plants need a nutrient boost. Always follow the label directions on the fertilizer container. The time and effort invested in creating raised beds will be returned many times over with years of healthy and productive gardens. —Melinda Myers has more than 30 years of gardening experience has written some 20 gardening books, including “Small Space Gardening.” She hosts the nationally syndicated “Melinda’s Garden Moment” TV and radio segments. melindamyers.com
