Runners in the 2016 La Jolla Half Marathon head down the coast from Del Mar to La Jolla.
RICH CRUSE
La Jolla Half Marathon runners ready for April 23 race
T
he 36th running of the La Jolla Half Marathon and Shores 5K is set for Sunday, April 23 with more than 5,000 runners expected to participate in the simultaneous events, presented by the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla. Half Marathon runners start at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and race down the coast 13.1 miles to the finish line at Ellen Browning Scripps Park. 5K runners start at the top of the hill on La Jolla Shores Drive, run the last 3.1 miles of the course and also finish at The Cove. Both races start at 7:30 a.m. with a three-hour time limit for the Half Marathon.
Southbound traffic will be affected on Highway 101 in Solana Beach and Del Mar, along Torrey Pines Road, in La Jolla Shores, and on Prospect Place and Coast Boulevard. “Many competitors will stay in The Village to enjoy the shops and restaurants after the race,” said Don Hodges for the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla. “So restaurant owners and managers should be aware and look for the proud finishers sporting their medals and race shirts.” Hodges added that net proceeds from the race, typically about $200,000, are donated to charitable organizations in the months after the
races, “So please residents, pardon any inconvenience caused by the event. The money raised makes a huge difference in the lives of many people.” ■ To participate (as a runner or a volunteer) sign up at lajollahalfmarathon.com Registration is also available at Hilton San Diego/Del Mar, 15575 Jimmy Durante Blvd., noon to 6 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Participants receive T-shirt, souvenir cinch bag, B-tag timing and more. There’s a finisher medal for Half Marathoners. — Susan DeMaggio

‘WindanSea Farms’ pop-up shops on the way
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The vacant lot at 6710 La Jolla Blvd. at Gravilla Street, which provides a place for strawberry sales in the summer, pumpkins in the fall and holiday trees in the winter, has a new tenant — a pop-up shopping space for multiple businesses. The lot will still house the seasonal offerings, but until then, it will be home to Everyday California surf apparel, Pura Vida bracelets and accessories, and fresh organic produce. Dubbed WindanSea Farms, the collaborative is slated to open April 29. Ahead of the opening, a Volkswagen bus from Everyday California and an airstream trailer from Pura Vida have parked there, and a farm stand is being set up. Griffin Thall, CEO and co-owner of Pura Vida, said he is a friend of the pumpkin patch and Christmas tree operator, who rents the lot for the whole year, but only uses it during the applicable months. “I asked my friend if, during the down months, I could put a pop-up shop there. He said I could, but it had to be on wheels (due to permitting limitations),” Thall said. “We wanted something cool that matched our brand, so we researched airstream trailers and found one on Craigslist, gutted it, and made it like a functional retail store.” The “store” will sell Pura Vida bracelets and other accessories, as well as shirts and sweatshirts. “A lot of people are familiar with our brand through social media, but we wanted to offer a different shopping experience and way to extend that personal

‘WindanSea Farms’ will open with pop-up stands from Everyday California and Pura Vida, and a fresh produce stand. connection,” Thall added. As the idea developed, Thall said, other businesses got on board. One of them was Everyday California surf apparel. Chris Lynch, owner of Everyday California, said, “We wanted to bring a fun, unique shopping experience, and because it’s San Diego, one could be outside all year round. We wanted something in the sun where people can come and hang out, shop and learn more about the brands available here,” he said.
The Everyday California van will serve as a display for surf-inspired apparel for men, women and children, and a place to sign up for the outdoor recreation activities offered by the La Jolla Shores-based business. The van was supposed to be a display at the 2261 Avenida De La Playa brick-and-mortar in La Jolla Shores, but it was too tall and disrupted the line of sight for shoppers. “We were using the van for other events and street fairs, but when we realized we had the opportunity to use it at WinandSea

Farms, we decided to build some shelving on the inside for storing apparel,” Lynch said. Once the “farm” is established, other vendors, such as a coffee cart and/or a flower shop, might post there. When the holidays arrive, Thall said, the lot would likely be reconfigured to accommodate the pumpkin patch and holiday trees. Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekends, but Lynch said they might change to reflect customer traffic. Learn more at windanseafarms.com

Library’s new Memory Lab can preserve old photos Las Patronas’ grant funds data transfer equipment BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Who doesn’t have a box of old VHS tapes or slides in the closet, filled with images of the new baby, backyard barbecues and other treasured memories? To bring the information on these obsolete files into the 21st century, the first Memory Lab on the West Coast — and second one in the country — has opened and it’s located right in La Jolla’s Riford Library. The Memory Lab opened April 1 with a small ceremony and will henceforth be open in the upstairs history room. Funded to the tune of more than $10,000 by the La Jolla-based philanthropy group Las Patronas, the Memory Lab features equipment that takes files found on VHS tapes, VHS-C (aka compact VHS tapes), DV (camcorder), Betamax, audio cassettes, floppy disks, along with photos and slides, and digitizes them to modern files that can be readily accessed and preserved. Unlike for-profit companies that will take your files and update them for a cost, the Library’s Memory Lab will do so for free, thanks to volunteers who will staff the Lab. Branch manager Shaun Briley said the Lab does not have specific hours, but would be open as long as there are volunteers available. To schedule an appointment, call the library at (858) 552-1657. However, the Lab is booked through the end of April. “One of the reasons we have libraries is to help with the storage and access of important information, and to help people link the past with the future,” Briley said. “This equipment is getting harder and harder to find, even the library had to shop around on eBay to find some of it because it isn’t for sale anymore. … At the Memory Lab, you remain in control of your materials at all times and are present for the conversion and to make your own choices on labeling etc., assisted by our trained volunteers. We will even advise you about how to preserve the originals.” Las Patronas 2016-2017 president Leigh Plesniak said she was “excited” about the project and that the group was happy to fund the “incredible community asset.” In her lifetime, Plesniak said she has seen storage devices come and go, such as floppy disks of different size capacities and CDs, to make way for flash drives and digital clouds to come into use. “It can be hard to keep up,” she said. “We have a large aging population in La Jolla and there is all this history in their lives that would be lost of not preserved. The idea is to take things that people have stored and archive them. If these things need to be scanned, their owners can get things scanned and get help.” She added that in looking at her own family, there are an abundance of historically valuable stories that should be preserved and accessible. “My children have a grandparent who lived in Holland during World War II and apparently a German soldier tried to take the family bike and she stood up to him. The townspeople surrounded him and helped her stand up to

Deadline set for private security sign-ups in Bird Rock
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON A September deadline has been set for Bird Rock residents to sign up for private security patrols through La Jolla Safety before the effort will be abandoned. At the Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting on April 4, organizer Ron Fineman said the group does not have enough sign-ups to launch the patrol. “Thus far, we have only received commitments from half the people we need to get it off the ground,” he said. “We need 60 homeowners to start services and we are at less than 30 … If we don’t reach that number by September we are going to refund the money that almost 30 homeowners have paid.” In June 2016, Fineman and a few other residents formed La Jolla Safety to bring a private security patrol to the commercial and residential areas of Bird Rock following a perceived increase in crime. The idea is to have a patrol car and footman in the area at random times to discourage criminals that would carry out the low-priority crimes the police department does not have the staffing to address. The cost would be $50 a month per household. At previous BRCC meetings, some residents said having the presence of private security could discourage criminal activity before it occurs, and provide an alternative to calling the police to investigate suspicious persons. “When we started with this idea, there were staffing issues at San Diego Police Department with no changes in sights … and an increase in crime. I don’t think the crime is getting any better, so we still need residents

The initial service area would be Bird Rock and Upper Hermosa only. In November 2016, when organizers were more optimistic about La Jolla Safety’s success, it was announced that the patrol could extend to The Village or even The Shores. But for now, Fineman said, the focus will be getting enough commitments to launch the patrol. BRCC president Andrew Ward said he would like to have a speaker from the San Diego Police Department at the group’s next meeting to discuss the current status of crime in Bird Rock. Homeowners who wish to sign up for the private patrols or learn more, may visit lajollasafety.org
In other Bird Rock news: ■ Infrastructure projects backlog:
BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar said there are several infrastructure repair projects that have been reported to the board, and in turn to the City, but have not yet been fixed. “People have been asking about the median light outages and periodically malfunctioning pedestrian crossing lights along La Jolla Boulevard,” she said. Examples include La Jolla Boulevard at Chelsea Place, Forward Street and Camino de la Costa. “There are ones that are out and do not work at all, and one that appears to either be stuck ‘on’ or there is an electrical malfunction,” Dunbar added. “They are all on the list of things we’ve submitted for repair.” Residents have also reported a buckling in the sidewalk at Colima Street and La Jolla Boulevard that poses a tripping hazard. As a temporary measure, BRCC painted an orange stripe and the City posted an orange A-frame sign atthe site so the danger is more visible.
“We’ve seen people fall down at that spot when they’re not paying attention,” Dunbar said. “We know there is a problem and the City is aware, but they just haven’t gotten around to fixing it, though we have been reporting the problem for almost two months.” Also, BRCC requested that the City take down the orange netting that surrounds the Midway Bluff overlook. The fencing was put in place in 2015 to help the vegetation on site take root, as part of the bluff restoration project. “It appears the vegetation is stable and the fencing was supposed to be taken down in August, but the City kept it up a little longer because of the period in which there was no rain,” Dunbar said. “The plants look very good, so we are trying to get that taken down. Those who’ve reported this to us should know we are working on it.” ■ Summer Run: Details for the 18th annual End of Summer Run were presented. The four-mile fundraising race will be 8 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 27. It will start in La Jolla and migrate on the south side of La Jolla Boulevard through Bird Rock and into Pacific Beach. Proceeds benefit Mission Beach, Patrick Henry, Point Loma and Clairemont High Schools. The race uses a “rolling closure,” so as runners clear an area, it reopens to traffic with assistance from volunteers and police. — Bird Rock Community Council next meets 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 2 at a location to be announced. birdrockcc.org

Steven Bliss of the City Engineering Department, explains Phase 2 details of the Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project. FROM PLANNING, A1 Other improvements include building a wall to stabilize the nearby hillside and installing a flat, decorative median. He added that the work along the south side would be done with two lanes open in each direction, “so traffic will be the same throughout the duration of the project.” LJCPA trustee Dan Courtney requested the presentation, but stated his disappointment that it was not on the agenda. “There is a Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project committee that I would have notified along with the community if I had known,” he told Bliss. “I question whether we should even be talking about this without more community input. It’s such a huge item and a big deal in the community.” Nevertheless, Bliss presented Phase 2 Corridor Project details and fielded board questions about the HAWK beacon, the median, slope restoration, bike lane, and touted the plan as a traffic calming solution.
The HAWK beacon
A HAWK [High Intensity Activated CrossWalk (sic)] beacon will be installed on Torrey Pines Road, mid-block between Princess and Amalfi streets, via lights hung on a mast arm over the street. Bliss explained that until a pedestrian activates the crosswalk, traffic flows uninterrupted and the lights are dark. However, once activated, he said, “The beacon signal starts alternating flashing yellow lights to suggest a yellow light is approaching, and then it goes to solid yellow that should be interpreted just like a yellow light in traffic. “Next it turns red to stop cars completely, and pedestrians get the signal to cross. After a short amount of time, pedestrians get a countdown timer with how many seconds they have to cross. The last stage is flashing red lights that indicate traffic can proceed if clear.” There is currently a HAWK beacon in Mission Valley across Mission Center Road between Camino de la Reina and Hazard Center Drive. As to how drivers will know how to maneuver the crosswalk, Bliss said, “One thing we will need to do is a public education program here in La Jolla,” but he did not have a plan for visitors and tourists. LJCPA trustee Mike Costello advised: “Good
LJCPA trustee Janie Emerson swears in new board members Robert Steck, David Gordon, Bob Collins, Brian Will and Sheila Palmer. luck with public education, we’ve had roundabouts in Bird Rock for years and most people still don’t know how to use them.”
The center median
As for the decorative median, several concerns were brought up over the prospect of losing the pre-existing raised medians along Torrey Pines Road. But the change reportedly comes at the request of the San Diego Fire & Rescue Department. “We had a lot of discussion about the medians, but the fire department and other emergency entities said that when they need to get into The Village, not having a raised median was important,” Bliss explained. “Having the raised median creates an issue with response times, especially when traffic on Torrey Pines Road is dense. We looked at as many alternatives (that an emergency vehicle could maneuver that regular vehicles could not) as we could, but the others just didn’t work.” But Courtney said the installation of a non-raised median would create “a fifth lane” of traffic. “My concern is people are going to use that median as a lane when traffic is stopped and they need to turn left and take a shortcut. I’m afraid this is going to become more and more common. I’m scared to see the raised medians go away,” he said. Trustees Janie Emerson and Dolores Donovan said they agreed with his concern. “The basic problem with this is,” said Emerson, “yes, you talked to the fire department who are major stakeholders, but you didn’t talk to us – the biggest stakeholder in this entire development. We need to have as much input as anyone else if not more. It’s our lives and our town at stake.”
Slope restoration
To make room for the sidewalk and stabilize the hillside, a retaining wall will also be built in Phase 2 of the Corridor Project. Although LJCPA approved designs for the retaining wall — after resoundingly rejecting the first proposed rendering — Bliss did not provide an image of what the retaining wall would look like, which caused concern for some. “Not having an image of what you’re going with is a big problem,” opined Emerson. “The City has done this before, where we approve something and then they come back with something else.” The board rejected renderings in May 2015 based on the
retaining wall’s stark appearance and 25-foot height. In April 2016, the City came back with a more natural design, which was approved. Bliss said the approved version was what the City would use.
Bike lane and traffic slowing
To create continuity and a safer bicycling path, he said a buffered bike lane would be installed on both sides of the thoroughfare. “A ‘buffered bike lane’ means there is a two-foot (painted) barrier on the side,” he said. To accommodate the new bike lanes, the vehicular traffic lanes would be narrowed; the lane widths would be adjusted to a 10-foot left lane and 11-foot right lane, a two-foot bike lane buffer and a five-foot bike lane. “The narrower lanes will make motorists feel a little pinched, so they will slow down a bit, and the HAWK beacon will provide a break in traffic. The buffered bike lane will suggest a bike corridor, and we think all these measures will slow traffic down,” he said. Trustee Phil Merten agreed. “One of the reasons traffic moves so fast on Torrey Pines Road is that it is designed like a 55-mile-per-hour highway. The curbs are gentle, visibility is good, the lanes are wide, and people feel safe driving 55 miles per hour. As the lanes narrow and the bike lanes start showing up, people will slow down. They will pay a lot more attention. I think it’s going to improve safety significantly,” he said. Bliss said he would return to a future LJCPA meeting to give a similar presentation for a larger audience.
In other LJCPA news: ■ New board members: The new and re-elected trustees voted in during the March annual election were sworn in at the onset of the April meeting. They are: Robert Steck, David Gordon, Bob Collins, Brian Will and Sheila Palmer. ■ Mansionization update: Sharon Wampler, who formerly chaired the LJCPA subcommittee on “mansionization” (the practice of building large homes that reach the fullest allowable size for the lot), gave an update since the subcommittee’s work ended in January 2016. She said, “We continued our efforts as a private community collaborative. We’ve had meetings and a charrette last year
to create an incentive-based alternative to the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) process or a ‘tailored zone,’ for development.” The group’s hope is to find an alternative to the “50 percent rule,” which exempts a project from requiring a CDP if it retains 50 percent of the original structure — a rule some developers have pushed. “We are now on version five of our proposal and getting input from architects … if we get this to a point where it is a usable proposal, we’re hoping to present the plans to architects come May or June and then to the community groups and finally to this board with a final recommendation,” Wampler said. ■ Shores water project: City of San Diego senior engineer Michael Ninh said the sewer and water replacement project in La Jolla Shores (on the east side of La Jolla Shores Drive and away from Avenida de la Playa, which has been under construction off and on for three years) is in the final stage of design, and construction will continue to summer 2019. “The group job consists of replacing almost four-and-a-half miles of water lines and another third-mile of sewer lines. The construction timeline will also be shorted by the two summer construction moratoriums (Labor Day to Memorial Day annually) where we don’t work,” he said. “Along with this water work, we’re going to improve the ADA ramps in the area so they are up to date. Afterward, all the streets are going to be covered with slurry. We are also going to improve some of the side streets where there are a lot of out-of-date ADA ramps.” For more information about this project and to sign up for updates visit sandiego.gov/cip/projectinfo and search for Group Job 1011 (S) and (W) for sewer and water. ■ Webmaster wanted: Someone to maintain the LJCPA website is “direly needed,” said trustee Costello, as it has not been updated in months.

Day 1: Construction starts at the Whale View Point sidewalk construction site, April 4 as City crews block off the space needed.
Work on Whale View Point sidewalk starts on Coast Blvd. BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A part of the long-awaited Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project began last week and is expected to be finished in mid-May: the installation of 1,100 linear feet of sidewalk and two pedestrian beach-access ramps along Coast Boulevard south of Cuvier Street. The budget for the project is $120,000 to $150,000, said Alec Phillipp, City of San Diego public information officer. The path work is the first structural improvement to the area since the Whale View Point project emerged from the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) board two years ago. Construction started on the sidewalk adjacent to the Wedding Bowl (555 Coast Blvd. South) and is expected to advance south in the coming weeks. “It’s a victory for La Jolla Parks & Beaches,” said LJP&B chair and project organizer Ann Dynes. “It’s a big deal to get the City to listen to the community, find the funds, spend the internal resources to design it, and get it done right.” The section of the La Jolla coastline from 274 Coast Blvd. to the northern end of the Wedding Bowl, aka Whale View Point, has had different names in La Jolla history, according to Dynes. But, when LJP&B took over the project, board members decided to make the name, to the name it was referenced in the initial 1889 map of La Jolla. The installation of the sidewalk has been a hot topic in the community, since preliminary plans didn’t involve adding
Day 2: Construction workers pour the concrete on the first section of the new Whale View Point sidewalk in La Jolla. more concrete along the shoreline. “When I took over the project, I discovered that because of changing community needs for hardscape, as well as City requirements to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the only sensible thing to put in here, was a sidewalk,” Dynes said, adding, “Maybe the only legal thing.” After heated debate, LJP&B decided to go for a six-foot sidewalk. In the final design, 100 feet in front of 375 Coast Blvd. is shown as a 4-foot-wide transition. At both sides of this section, the ADA-compliant ramps will be installed. Both ramps will have a 7.7 percent slope, handrails and concrete slabs

to transition to existing infrastructure. Some of the existing concrete benches will be relocated, Dynes said. Also, City crews will replace sunken sections of curb and gutter as needed, and damaged street panels will be replaced. To make it all happen, LJP&B asked the City to include the sidewalk project in the capital plan priorities for La Jolla. “For the last two years, I’ve been regularly in touch with the department designing it, and ultimately, commissioning it to be done. With help from (former City Council member) Sherri Lightner’s office, funds were identified to pay for it,” Dynes explained. She became involved with the project
while attending LJP&B meetings as a citizen. “At a meeting, two years ago, the Whale View Point Project was presented and I stood up and said, ‘That’s something I would really like to work on!’ ” Dynes recalled. She has since become a board member, and in March, became president of LJP&B. The Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement project has had many phases, and smaller pieces of work were completed. Among them, the beautification of the Wedding Bowl, the installation of ropes and signage to allow native vegetation to grow and the replacement of the old blue trash can lids for ones of a pale, “more natural” color. “(So far) I’ve done what I consider the low-hanging fruit,” Dynes said, pointing out the sidewalk is the start of the structural improvements she wants to see done, along with new picnic tables. “On some of the benches the rebar is peeking through,” she added. The initial project also included area enhancements that have been rejected by the City, such as the installation of a stencil-painted whale on the sewage pump station and the elimination of parking on the west side of the corridor. However, Dynes told the La Jolla Light she hasn’t given up yet. “I’m going to circle back at some point,” she said. “I’m waiting for the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to get underway. With a MAD, and the promise to restore the whale (painting) when it needed to be restored, the City would have to come up with another excuse for not letting me do it!”
Ropes mark the ground where visitors may not enter to protect the vegetation at the Wedding Bowl, also a part of the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project.

Center for Novel Therapeutics to open in 2019 on UCSD campus
T
he long and tangled history of cancer treatment is, perhaps, the most obvious argument that defeating this Gordian knot of diseases will require every tool we have — and can imagine. No single act or epiphany can cure cancer. The effort requires the efforts of many, using every mind and means available. That’s the thinking behind the new Center for Novel Therapeutics (CNT), which officially broke ground Tuesday and will open for business in 2019. Located just east of Moores Cancer Center (MCC) at UC San Diego Health on the east campus, the CNT would be a 135,000-square-foot home to MCC and UC San Diego School of Medicine scientists and physicians and perhaps dozens of local research organizations and biotech companies focused on finding new treatments and cures for cancer and related chronic diseases. Indeed, more than half of the three-story building, which will include wet and dry labs, bioengineering facilities and research facilities including a biorepository, will be available to both UC San Diego and non-university investigators and enterprises. MCC will literally be just across the street, with our partner La Jolla Institute for Allergy
and Immunology (LJIAI) also next door. MCC’s growing immunotherapy program will be based inside CNT. This proximity and critical mass is important. MCC researchers and physicians possess an intimate, daily knowledge of the disease. They work at the leading edge. They have access to resources and services (and thus their patients) that are available only at a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. MCC and LJIAI investigators will always be close at hand to help private industry develop new treatments. CNT will be common ground for men and women with a common goal: conquering cancer. The idea of such an “incubator” is not new, though this is the first UC San Diego-linked accelerator. It is largely the brainchild of two MCC physician-scientists who have steadfastly pursued and developed this dream over many years: Dennis Carson, M.D., who was MCC director from 2003 to 2011 and who still runs a lab, and Thomas Kipps, M.D., who served as interim director until my arrival in 2012 and who is currently deputy director for research and a Distinguished Professor of Medicine. Both men have made their mark in cancer

The 135,000-square-foot facility, located next to Moores Cancer Center on the east campus of UC San Diego, will house university scientists, local research organizations and biotech companies, all focused on cancer and related chronic diseases. research and drug discovery. Carson is perhaps best known for his landmark work in developing a new agent called 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine, or 2-CdA, for the treatment of hairy cell leukemia. This drug, now marketed as Leustatin, is the treatment of choice for this disease and has resulted in long-term, complete remissions in about 75 percent of patients, often after just a single infusion. It is also effective in other lymphoid cancers, multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. “We don’t often say ‘cure’ in cancer, but
Dennis has accomplished that for people suffering from hairy cell leukemia,” Jack Dixon, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology, cellular and molecular medicine, chemistry and biochemistry and himself an internationally recognized scientist once said. Kipps may be on the cusp of another breakthrough. From the glimmerings of an idea through the hurdles of basic research, he has nurtured a first in-human stem cell-based therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the most common

Called cirmtuzumab, the drug therapy is currently in clinical trials and has shown potential for a variety of other cancers, including breast, pancreas, colon, lung and ovary. Of course, neither Carson nor Kipps would claim to have worked alone. Cancer research and treatment requires the talents and resources of multiple collaborators, including those beyond the university. Carson, for example, has founded six biotechnology companies over his long and distinguished career to pursue his research and discoveries. Kipps and colleagues have been leaders in creating new academia-industry partnerships that have accelerated progress at MCC and beyond. The CNT represents tangible evidence of this idea and purpose. It brings together faculty entrepreneurs with bold ideas, experienced managers in fundraising and drug development and others who will be critical to the process and to ultimate success. “It’s an exciting new addition to the university’s Science Research Park,” said UCSD Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla, “a place where a diverse array of researchers from every sector can advance technology and medical science to benefit patients.” Cancer is notorious for using every weapon it can muster to prevail. The CNT will work on the same prevailing principle. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UCSD Moores Cancer Center.

This 8-foot red seahorse sculpture on the 7200 block of La Jolla Boulevard was stolen the night of April 6.
Red seahorse sculpture stolen A red, 8-foot tall decorative seahorse fronting a two-home complex at 7256/7258 La Jolla Blvd. was stolen some time the night of April 6. The tenant reported coming home around 9 p.m. and seeing the sculpture, but when she woke up the next morning, it was gone. Property owner Clem Elgazzar, who purchased the home — complete with the seahorse — four years ago, said the piece was “chained down” but it is “lighter than it looks. I don’t know if (the theft) was a spring break prank or something, but I would just like to see it returned.” The piece has been at the front of the property for about 20 years.

Lifeguards present case against Fire-Rescue plan BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN San Diego Fire-Rescue Department officials presented the San Diego City Council Public Safety & Livable Neighborhoods committee with the CityGate study on lifeguard services, April 5, which reviewed and made recommendations on operational, economic and dispatch issues. After the presentation, several lifeguards provided opposing thoughts on the report. CityGate, which was issued in January, has sparked controversy over one of its recommendations — integrating the lifeguard dispatch and tracking resources into the Fire-Rescue facilities. As a result of the plan, land-water rescues (at rivers, lakes or other inland bodies of water) are first transferred from the 9-1-1 dispatch to a Fire-Rescue dispatcher, who then identifies the best agency to handle the call. For Fire Chief Brian Fennessy, this change was positive and he said it helped the department deal with the large amount of calls dispatchers usually receive when a large storm hits San Diego. As an example of the improved coordination, he highlighted the swift water rescue performed Feb. 28 at a flooded hotel in Mission Valley. “(There were) police officers, fire fighters and lifeguards working together,” he said to
the Council committee. But for lifeguards, this change is delaying their everyday work. The most noted incident happened late January at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool, when the 9-1-1 call was allegedly delayed by five minutes. City Council member Chris Ward (District 3) asked Fire-Rescue personnel about the changes. Lifeguard Chief Rick Wurts responded that only the inland calls are being transferred to the Fire Department. “The change was one of the biggest challenges we had, handling gigantic amounts of calls. It’s been a tremendous improvement,” he explained. Lifeguard Sgt. Ed Harris, who is a steward for Teamsters 911 union, told the Light the new policy is confusing, and beach rescues are now being filtered to the Fire-Rescue department. “(The policy) wasn’t vetted, there was no instruction and no training, and they didn’t look at the whole picture,” he said, adding that lifeguards agreed to integrate the lifeguard dispatch in the Fire-Rescue Command Center whenever there is a heavy rain event. “But that’s only two or three days a year,” he said. The lifeguards presentation made clear that the fastest way to process water rescue calls is to send them directly to the lifeguard dispatcher, who then issues a SEE LIFEGUARDS, A23

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
Residents on the 7600 block of Hillside Drive said they are weary from withstanding constant construction projects, as revealed by all the patched concrete along the street. For the past five years, the neighborhood has been littered with orange worksite paraphernalia. At the time this photo was taken April 10, a crew from the City of San Diego was installing a water main at Tyrian Street and Soledad Avenue.
An Open Letter to City Council Member Bry Hillside Drive residents fed up with extant home constructions BY CHRIS DAY, LEED AP, DBIA he Hillside Drive neighborhood of La Jolla is being destroyed by incompetent speculative developers and the City of San Diego is allowing this destruction to continue uncontrolled. Please help us put a stop to it, or at least some controls on it. There are already three homes at the top of Hillside Drive that have been under construction for five years. I’d provide you the addresses, but the developer has failed to post the addresses on his job sites. It is unreasonable for us to live that long with that much disruption. I’ve built 200-bed hospitals faster. There are now an additional five homes proposed for development in the 7600 block of Hillside Drive. Some are already fenced, and even that fence is already in disrepair! That means that for the next decade we can look forward to the following neighborhood disruption: 1) Home sizes out of context for the neighborhood, such as 7661 Hillside, which proposes a 5,300-square foot home on a 6,000square-foot lot. 2) Traffic. Hillside is a very narrow street with no shoulder, no sidewalks and no lights. Now we will throw in another couple of dozen pickup trucks parked along the road. (When we
T
build on hospital or college campuses, we are required to provide offsite parking and to shuttle our workers in and out.) 3) Emergency vehicle access. These guys park without consideration for those of us who live here. What will happen the first time someone dies because an emergency vehicle can’t get through? Who will step forward to say, “I allowed that to happen.” 4) Post-lunchbreak trash. Our street is littered with fast-food bags and empty Red Bull cans. 5) Property damage. During the development of 7666 Hillside, our front retaining walls were destroyed by the workers who parked in front of our home or used our driveway for a turnaround. When I tried to get it fixed, all I heard was “wasn’t me ...” 6) Vehicle damage. Our street is littered with drywall screws and roofing nails. I don’t know anyone who lives on our street who hasn’t suffered at least one flattened tire every few months. Yet no one takes responsibility to clean the road or repair the damage they create. 7) Roadway damage. Hillside Drive may be the roughest road in San Diego. I’ve driven roads in Ruanda that are in better shape. Why? Because these people cut into the road for utility access and then patch back without proper
backfill and compaction, and they are not inspected. 8) Abandoned, partially completed projects. When this real estate cycle turns down, many of these guys will default and simply walk away from their projects. We saw it last time, with several half-finished project that lay derelict for 10 years. 9) Our home value drops to zero. Will our property taxes be reduced for the next 10 years while our homes are unmarketable? Does it really seem reasonable that we should have to live with this for the coming decade? I guarantee you that it will be at least that long. I’m also submitting a second letter that hits the same points in detail and includes photographic examples. Please study the images. Thanks very much for considering our plight. I know you have lots of us who each have special causes. Gotta be tough to keep up with. Hang in there. I am willing to help. — The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) is an organization that defines, teaches and promotes best practices in design-build.

OUR READERS WRITE Are La Jolla High track info signs misleading? Thanks for the front-page article about La Jolla High School track usage in the April 6 La Jolla Light issue, as the ongoing coverage of this topic is needed and appreciated. However, I and others were not sure what to make of your photo of the posted rules for use. The caption states “The rules are.” Did you mean to state “were” instead of “are,” since the track is closed to the public? It might be worth clarifying why you included the rules in the article. It is sensitive matter since the school’s principal has noted that the public has violated posted rules. His statements are misleading since those rules are posted at only one of the many entrances to the track. I ran on the track for years without entering at the single point where the rules are posted, so never saw them. Like most users I met there, I complied with the rules anyway. (I verified yesterday that the rules for the track are posted only at that one point — rules for tennis, only, are posted at another entrance to the track.) Unfortunately, your otherwise good article, by showing the posted rules, seems to support the principal’s suggestion that the public generally ignores them, his justification for denying access. I ask that if you are going to post the rules in your newspaper that you also note the facts about their limited disclosure in order to avoid the appearance of bias in favor of the principal’s agenda. Nick Ecos Reporter’s Note: Although the sign in question was removed April 10, the photo of the sign was included in the story to address questions raised about the type of public notice listing the rules at La Jolla High’s track and field. School officials reported signage was posted, while some track-users said there was none, and others called the signage “weak.” To let readers form their own opinions, La Jolla Light located a sign on March 28 and took its photo. The sign was posted at the Fay Avenue entrance/parking lot when the track was open for public use under previous principals. La Jolla High athletic director Paula Conway told the Light on April 10 there were previously multiple signs posted, and that “The majority came down months ago (when the track was closed), but I guess one was missed at the Fay Avenue entrance. That was taken down Monday.”
Time to speak up for arts and tech training at La Jolla High School La Jolla High School (LJHS) was founded in 1922 and has always been a top-rated high school in California and the nation. It provides all core academic and AP courses, but what makes LJHS so special is the variety of courses offered to students including Music, Wood Shop (construction technology) and Auto Shop (transportation technology). Sadly, this could be the last year for some of these programs unless we as a community pull together and save the great resources
REMEMBER WHEN?
Looks like an old sign was uncovered during the recent demolition and construction project taking place next door to Beaumont’s Neighborhood Eatery, 5662 La Jolla Blvd. Does anyone recall it? — Chris Cott that hundreds of La Jolla students enjoy. An estimated 45,000-plus have participated in these programs over the nine-plus decades they’ve existed. The amount of time and resources that have gone into building these programs are immense. If we allow the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) to do away with these programs, they will never come back. My brothers and myself took Wood Shop and played in the orchestra and band at LJHS. My twin brother, Ramsey, took Auto Shop and as a result, enjoyed building race cars and racing all his life. My son is a sophomore at LJHS where he plays in the orchestra and takes Wood Shop. These are his most enjoyable classes and what excites him about going to school, as is the case with so many students. These classes build self-confidence, self-reliance and a sense of accomplishment, attracting a high percentage (43 percent) of females in Wood Shop and students of all academic levels. Girard Mattio (LJHS Wood Shop teacher for 15 years) and Ken Davis (LJHS Auto Shop teacher for 27 years) have taught tens of thousands of students. Michael Fiedler has increased the number of students in the Music Department 12-fold since he took over seven years ago. It’s a possibility that in light of budget cuts, the Wood and Auto Shops will be closed and the space used for other purposes unless we, the La Jolla community, do something about it. These teachers know their classes put math, science and design art into practical, hands-on 3-dimensional understanding to build the basic, requisite skills for engineering, architecture, musical instrument-making, automotive design and bio-medical instrument design, to name a few. A LJHS alum told Mattio, “I’m a surgeon now because I learned technical eye-hand coordination when I was young by using a lathe in wood shop at LJHS. I discovered I was good at it and it made me want to become a surgeon.” Davis told me about a former student who
is now in charge of battery development for TESLA. Other former LJHS auto shop students work for Toyota, Volvo and Nissan, while others run their own automotive shops (Mode Automotive and Agile Off-road) in San Diego. Numerous others have gone on to become mechanical and electrical engineers, getting their start at LJHS Auto Shop. Training to “do-it-yourself” is an indispensable skill that all students will use throughout their lives. Let’s not forget the great musicians that have come out of LJHS, to name one, George Sakakini played with me in the orchestra at Muirlands and LJHS, and is now the principal bassoonist with the Tokyo Symphony. Opponents of these programs see things differently. They say times have changed and we don’t need them any longer. I disagree. Today, as many as 40 percent of American college graduates in the past five years are unemployed or under-employed. Students are learning that a college education does not necessarily give them real job skills or a career. They are starting to opt for vocational skills, as in Germany, where only 28 percent of young people seek university degrees. The vast majority of young Germans attend skilled vocational schools. American youth will need to think more in this direction. Therefore, it’s more important than ever that we provide high school students with ways of building transferable skills that lead them to vocational training if they opt out of college. Our La Jolla community can surely support these programs. Call LJHS at (858) 454-3081 and tell Principal Podhorsky to keep our Wood and Auto Shops, and protect our Music and Arts programs. Sign your kids up for music and shop classes. Contribute generously to the LJHS Foundation to safeguard this historic, wonderful school. The LJHS Governance Team will meet 2:30 p.m. Monday, May 1 in Room 301 at La Jolla High, 750 Nautilus St. This team will decide
how budget cuts will be implemented. Students, teachers and administrators sit on the team. Everyone is invited to attend and give input. Nile El Wardani, Ph.D.
Cameras and higher fines will work to slow speeders down My comments are in response to Taylor Freeman’s letter in the March 30 issue about the fines for traffic violations at pedestrian crosswalks. I totally agree that fines should definitely be upped, a $200 fine is not going to solve the problem, a $2,000 fine could! Unfortunately, such drivers will still turn on red anyway! I see it everyday in the morning and the afternoons. Why not install a camera at these intersections to show proof of these careless drivers? Furthermore, our alleys are not raceway shortcuts. There are people who drive very fast, ripping down the alley and around the corner for no apparent reason. There are children, elders and people walking pets who frequent the alleys of Hershel Avenue, facing north and south. I wish people would slow down before they end up hurting someone or something. What’s the rush anyway? La Jollan since 1964 Name withheld by request

Pottery Canyon kiln to be ‘evaluated’ The 6-foot historically designated kiln adjacent to Pottery Canyon Park, a municipal trail off Torrey Pines Road, is being evaluated by a specialist in historic preservation, said City of San Diego supervising public information officer Arian Collins. After a controversy involving the crumbling state of the resource (read bit.ly/PotteryCanyon), the City issued a Civil Penalty Notice and Order for un-permitted work taking place on site to Lai Ngai, who owns the property where the kiln stands. However, Ngai told La Jolla Light no construction work had been done since he purchased the property in 2013. He confirmed hiring an architect, who is in communications with the City. From the City’s perspective, the development of an evaluation report on the kiln is enough action to refrain from issuing penalties to the property owner, however, “a time-frame has not been determined.” Collins said Code Enforcement Division staff will continue to monitor the issue “to ensure forward progress is made.”

Everlasting memories of loved ones
Alan Webster Bentley
February 23, 1933 - January 31, 2017 La JoLLa — Panthers, Banshees, Cougars, Demons, Skyhawks, and others: as a Naval aviator, alan Webster Bentley flew them all. alan passed away on January 31 after a short illness. Born in Brookline, Ma, son of Caroline Porter Bentley and albert Bentley, alan graduated from Brookline High School and Tufts University, where he received a degree in electrical engineering. after graduation he went to flight school in Pensacola and shortly afterwards was assigned to Va-124, the Moonshiners, at Miramar NaS. He looked around and decided that he preferred San Diego to the East Coast, brought his high school sweetheart and new wife, Nancy McNeilly Bentley, across country in a car, and in 1956 bought a home in La Jolla. alan flew F3H Demons off the USS Lexington on a 1957 Far East cruise,
then moved to the Naval Reserve. Throughout his career he worked in the San Diego aerospace industry, first on the atlas missile at Convair, then at Electro Instruments, and later at Cubic Corporation. He brought an engineer’s analytical perspective to problem-solving and loved studying the stock market and playing bridge. He earned an MBa degree at USIU and taught electrical engineering courses at Mesa Community College. In 1968 the USS Pueblo incident returned him to
active duty. one happy moment during that uncertain era came from alan’s low, slow passes in an a-4 Skyhawk over La Jolla’s Troop 4 Boy Scouts as they paddled down the Colorado River. When the Pueblo was released, his squadron went back into the Reserves and he returned to designing computer hardware. alan and Nancy loved the theater, american musicals, and classical music, especially the Romantics. He was a Boston fan, rooting for the Philharmonic (especially at Tanglewood), the Pops, the Patriots, and both the Braves and the Red Sox. He retired shortly after Nancy had a stroke in 1994 and wrote a manuscript that retells the stories portrayed on postage stamps about flight and flying. He spent 20 years caring for Nancy until she passed away in 2015. alan leaves behind his children, Charlotte
and Scott (Leslie); grandchildren, annalise and andrew; sister, Caroline White Bentley; nephews, Trentwell White II, Dana White and Stephen White; niece, Markell Ness; and their families. alan loved spending time with his grandchildren and teaching them to be card players. He also enjoyed spending time playing bridge at La Jolla Riford Center. He asked that contributions be made to Wounded Warrior Project, Po Box 758517, Topeka, KS 66675-8517. The family is indebted to Rodel Magealas, alan’s caregiver and friend who also helped with the care of Nancy in her final years. a memorial service will take place at La Jolla Presbyterian Church on May 5, 2017, at 3:00. His ashes will be interred with Nancy’s at Miramar National Cemetery. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

FROM LIFEGUARDS, A16 radio call heard by all lifeguards on the field. “CityGate does not provide a justification for forcing a caller who needs help to go through three dispatch centers before being connected to the safety personnel who are most equipped to help,” the lifeguard presentation concluded. For District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry, who’s a member of the Public Safety & Livable Neighborhoods committee, the change in policies is “a seasonal issue mostly geared toward the rain,” she said, adding that she was impressed to hear lifeguards perform 9,000 water rescues per year.
Cliff Rescues
Another hot point included in the CityGate report is the recommendation that Fire personnel be alerted and sent to cliff rescues. “This issue is how the Department utilizes the Lifeguard Services Division’s Cliff Rescue personnel and equipment for cliff rescues during daylight hours but then utilizes the
Fire Operations Division special rescue personnel at night to provide the same service,” the CityGate report reads, “It should be the mission of the entire Fire-Rescue Department to send the closest, most appropriate resource and personnel to any emergency, including cliff and inland swift water rescue situations, on a 24/7/365 basis.” But for lifeguards, this policy is a waste of City’s resources. “Over the last six years, Lifeguard Services have made approximately 300 coastal cliff rescues utilizing from three to six lifeguards. Of those, Fire-Rescue was needed in only 40 of those rescues,” lifeguards claim. According to the report, the service could also be improved thanks to geographic location emergency technology. Bry showed interest in this upgrade. “I have a background as a technology entrepreneur and I’m very interested in this. Would you recommend to spend some money to upgrade the operation?” she asked lifeguards, adding that they should include the technology upgrade in their budget request.

Fencing A Physical Game of Chess
Young fencers run drills at La Jolla Fencing Academy.
Academy opens in La Jolla to teach swordsmanship BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON n mid-February, La Jolla Fencing Academy opened at 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive to bring the classic sport to anyone who has ever wanted to shout, “en garde!” Touted as “a physical game of chess,” fencing enhances one’s abilities to concentrate and to strategize, which founder, head coach and international champion Dmitriy Guy, said are among some of the most important traits of a good fencer. “Fencing teaches you how to be focused and make quick decisions. It also works the other way around; if you are already able to make fast decisions and focus, you could be a good fencer,” he explained. “You have to lure your opponent into the chain of your actions or change your actions based on what they do — so you have brain work, foot work and blade work at the same time,
I
which is not easy.” Other qualities include quick reaction time, agility, leg strength and fast footing. Guy’s mental skills were actually what got him into fencing when he was a child in the Soviet Union. “I was not an athletic child and was not good at sports, but I liked math. When I was 9 years old, the main sports club in the Soviet Union was accepting students for its fencing program. … The first year was difficult, my first coach hated me because I wasn’t coordinated or athletic, but I was able to strategize. Slowly I got better … and I’ve been fencing ever since,” Guy said. “I think it’s the greatest sport in the world.” There are three types of swords used in fencing: foil, sabre and epee, and the objective is to touch your opponent with the tip of the weapon. Both fencers wear heavily padded vests to prevent injury. Guy’s sword of choice is the sabre. Among his accolades, Guy is a former professional fencer for the USSR fencing team, a national champion for the Soviet Union, a European champion and a finalist at two junior world championships. After he
ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON
La Jolla Fencing Academy founder and head coach Dmitriy Guy moved to the United States in 1991 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union (which brought several prominent fencers to America), Guy began representing the United States in similar competitions.
“A couple of years ago, I fenced on the North American open circuit and everyone thought I would get eliminated in the first round. I didn’t ... and went on to fence against kids who were 20 years old and a college student from Penn State. I beat the college student and his coach tried to recruit me!” he said. When it came time to switch to coaching, Guy opened the Spartak Fencing Club — named for the gladiator Spartacus — with several locations across San Diego. In that time, he instructed two of the now-coaches of UC San Diego’s fencing program, multi-medal winner Barron Nydam and Olga Kalinovskaya, one of three people in the world to win a NCAA fencing title during each of her four college years (plus two more for her team). As to why he opened an academy in La Jolla, the Del Mar resident said, “La Jolla did not have a fencing club and I thought as a community it should have one. I love the families who are interested in this sport … Plus, with the proximity to UCSD, La Jolla was a good fit.” SEE FENCING, B15

How we became a canine dentist’s dream
B
La Jolla Cultural Partners
oy, have I had a chance to eat some words. And since they involve teeth, the phrase is apropos. A little more than a year ago, I wrote a column about brushing dogs’ teeth which at the time I found to be an absolutely hilarious concept. When I was growing up, every household in my family-centric neighborhood, including us, had a dog. No one had fences and the dogs were simply let out as needed. The dogs generally went to the vet twice in their lives: once to get a rabies shot (if they hadn’t already had one at the pound where you got them), and then when they died, which was usually from being hit by the car they had been chasing at the time. If my parents were alive today, the concept of brushing a dog’s teeth would incite both incredulity AND hilarity in them. Which it did in me when our vet first suggested it for the now-deceased Winston. I researched doggie tooth brushes and doggie tooth pastes (you can’t use the ones for people) and even tried it once on Winston. An English bulldog, Winston was clear he had the advantage and it was never attempted again. In the meantime this past year, we have had the full-on expensive education in
canine dental health. For reasons I hope someone can explain to me, small breed dogs are notorious for bad teeth, which not only cause the animal pain and difficulties eating, but makes their breath smell like they just ingested a barrel of rotten mackerel. Percy, our first foster dog last year, was a Shih Tzu who had been abandoned on the streets of Bonita and rescued by a small volunteer rescue organization before being placed with us. Our vet said this dog had some of the worst teeth she’d ever seen. Let me emphasize that when you foster a dog, the foster agency pays all the expenses: food, medical and dental care, neutering, beds, grooming, toys etc. The foster parents just have to provide love and care while a forever home is found. Or in the case of our second foster, Lilly, until the foster parents fall madly in love with the dog and keep it. The many volunteer animal welfare organizations locally are constantly scrambling for funds to treat the animals they rescue so as a donation to ours, we said we would pay all Percy’s expenses including dental, neutering, grooming, food, etc. Any money they didn’t have to spend on this dog was money they could spend on another one.
My husband and I agreed afterwards that it was probably the most gratifying money we’ve ever spent. Usually when you donate money to a charitable cause you don’t get to see the results, but after five weeks and just under $1,000, Percy was totally rehabbed. He went to a fabulous home and has given a 75-year-old widow reason to get up in the morning. At the time, we thought that $500 for Percy’s teeth was a lot of money. We were such virgins. A neighbor with three small breed dogs has spent more than $4,000 on the teeth of EACH of them. “You could get a whole lot of new dogs for that,” opined my husband Olof. Well, yeah, but the problem is, as we know too well, you get really attached to the old ones. The first thing we noticed about our second foster dog, Lily, was that her breath was even worse than Percy’s, if that was even possible: a 9 on the “ickter” scale. Lily’s previous owner had relinquished her to the County shelter saying she couldn’t afford the dog’s dental care. The County’s medical in-take report was all of four words: “Nice dog. Terrible teeth.” Fortunately, the same volunteer organization who rescued Percy rescued Lily. They spent $500 to pull the worst of Lily’s teeth but it was clear that this was only going to be the start. As happy as we had been to sink $1,000 into Percy, a dog we didn’t even own, this was not something we could do every month. But Lily rapidly worked her way into our hearts and before we knew it, we’d adopted her and sunk another $1,100 into her teeth beyond what the rescue agency
INGA
Lily shows off her newly-rehabbed teeth. had invested. (We consider her dental care our new 401k.) But what a difference in her breath which previously would have scorched your eyebrows. And all of a sudden she was eating voraciously. But now, of course, it was up to us to maintain this brand new mouth into which we now have such an investment. So just as we became pros at cleaning Winston’s ever-infected ears, we’re now absolutely whizzes at brushing Lily’s teeth. And every time I do it, I look heavenward toward my parents and say, “I know. I know.” — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

La Jolla resident Justin Maletic in front of the La Valencia Hotel, the inspiration for a piece of art he commissioned
The customized ‘rendering’ is of the La Valencia Hotel, as if it was in the process of being painted pink.

Painting project shows ‘Pink Lady’ in progress In 1926, La Valencia opened as a white-hued apartment hotel
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Across the board — or should we say the canvas — a recent painting commission has roots in La Jolla. Following a recent La Jolla Light story about the 90th anniversary of the La Valencia Hotel at 1132 Prospect St., resident Justin Maletic commissioned a painting of the “Pink Lady” by Pannikin Coffee barista and local artist Natalie Bessell, daughter of WindanSea surfboard artist Tim Bessell.
Maletic said after learning that the La Valencia was only painted its standout hue in the 1950s, he started thinking about what it must have looked like beforehand. “I’ve lived in La Jolla for probably 12 years, often in places where I can see the Hotel, and just always thought it was pink,” Maletic said. “I started envisioning what it must have looked like before, and got the idea to commission a piece of art using a historic photo of the Hotel and make it look like it was in the process of being painted in color. The first idea was to paint it green, call it the ‘Green Man’ or something (in contrast to the Hotel’s nickname ‘Pink Lady’). But after thinking about it for a bit, I changed my mind.”
REFRESH
Sticking with the idea to colorize a historical photo so it appears to be partially painted, he decided to stay true and have the color be La Valencia pink. He sought out a local artist to carry it through. “I get coffee from Pannikin, and Natalie works there and her work is on display,” Maletic said, which prompted him to choose her for the project. A lifelong painter (having already been commissioned to paint a replica of The Whaling Bar mural that was taken down to accommodate the construction of what’s now known as Café La Rue), Bessell was happy to oblige. “I did a lot of research to find an old image of the La Valencia that would work, because in this day and age, I thought I could find something online, but nothing was quite right,” she said. “I needed to find something historic with the tower in view and enough wall space showing. I had to go to the La Jolla Historical Society to look through the archives to find just the right one.” Once she did, she printed it on cotton paper so she could add to it. She digitally added painters to the picture who appear to be mid-work turning the La Valencia’s exterior pink before colorizing the building with the unique shade. “Making the pink was the fun part,” she said. “I’ve been painting a long time and I always blend paint to make my own colors. So I played around to come up with just the right shade of pink.” In total, from concept to delivery, the piece took about a month and now hangs in Maletic’s apartment. “I like original art and things that are one of a kind,” he said. “And

La Jolla artist Natalie Bessell created the custom ‘Pink Lady’ piece. if I ever move from La Jolla, I’ll take it with me to remind me of what a special place it is — both La Jolla and the La Valencia.” He added, “I really enjoy going to that Hotel for cocktails, I celebrated Easter there with my family one year. I love the La Valencia, so it adds value to the piece.” And he’s not the only one. Having grown up in La Jolla, Bessell said she, too, has fond memories of La Valencia, including family outings with her art-oriented family. “I’ve been doing art almost my whole life,” she said. “I focused on it in high school. I went to art school in New York for a year, but left after that because it was expensive and I feel like I got a lot out of that year. I came back to San Diego seven years ago.” ■ Want to know more?

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
“Stella Maris is a kindergarten through eighth grade school, then I went to La Jolla High and then UC Santa Barbara, so that’s when I broke the circle of just being in La Jolla. After college, I came back, moved back home, and I’ve been here ever since.”
community coffee and they asked me if I wanted to go. I said ‘no,’ but I looked on the back (of the invitation) and it read, ‘We’re always looking for volunteers,’ so I said, ‘OK, I’ll see if I can volunteer.’ I joined their fellowship program, and they said, ‘You can put in more time than high MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN schoolers, so why don’t Mauricio Medina turned 24 you start working full years old on the day this time?’ photo was taken, April 6, 2017. So I was there; one of the last people on the campaign with Barbara, until the very end. I guess you could say it was a very long job interview, and after the election, Barbara said, ‘We really like what you did; you built ties in the community. You obviously know La Jolla and you’re really up-to-date with what I believe and I do, so, come on board!’ And I was like, ‘Sure, let’s do it!’ ”
What did you study in college?
Was that your first political campaign?
M
auricio Medina, also known as the “bow-tie guy” in some La Jolla circles, has assumed the responsibility of representing District 1 San Diego City Council member Barbara Bry. His tender smile and peaceful demeanor belie what’s under the surface — a smart, down-to-earth, funny 24-year-old young man with a wish to change the world.
Where are you from?
“I’m from San Diego, but I’ve been in La Jolla since I was 4 years old. My parents moved here because I went to school at Stella Maris Academy.”
Where else did you go to school?
“I majored in Political Science with an emphasis in International Relations, and I minored in English.”
What do you do for fun?
“I play soccer with my friends. A couple of us in the office are in an indoor soccer league. I read, I have a book club with about six people with whom I went to college. It’s cool because everyone moved away; there’s a girl in Australia, one of my friends moved to Pennsylvania, some are in Sacramento and I’m San Diego … so this is a place where we meet once a month through Skype or Google Hangout. We started it last year and we’re continuing this year. Like a typical La Jollan, I also like going to the beach, swimming, hanging out with friends — all that cool stuff.”
How did you land this job?
“I guess I have to go back to almost a year ago, when my parents got an invitation in the mail to join Barbara Bry for a
“Yes, it was. I liked it a lot; it was very eye-opening. Campaigns are very fast-paced, and I was lucky it was a City Council one. I was able to wear multiple hats and poke my head into different places — fundraising, drafting talking points — and you see the immediate results of your actions in the campaign. You type something up and it gets published. You say something and it gets tweeted by five different people. You knock on doors and you see those ‘yes’ votes rise in number every day. It was very exciting, but I’m glad I get to sleep more now and I get to enjoy the sunshine.”
You are the youngest Council member rep in La Jolla in a while, how do you intend to tackle the challenge? “Daniel Orloff (another Bry rep) has a good metaphor about it — it’s like drinking water through a fire hose. It’s very intense, all at once. But it’s just handling people who call angrily, not taking it personally, but personally enough

Why the bow tie?
“I had to completely redo my wardrobe going into City Hall because I have to wear suits. I was wearing ties, but I found them really annoying, because they’re long, and when you’re sitting down or you’re eating, they fly everywhere. And bow ties are very comfortable! I just like wearing them, they’re cool! People know me now as the ‘bow-tie guy,’ so I guess I’ll own it!”
How was your experience growing up in La Jolla?
“It was cool, I liked it a lot. My first job was at Harry’s Coffee Shop. I started hosting and then I moved to busing and taking drink orders. I had a lot of friends growing up in La Jolla, I’d always go to Bird Rock, play soccer at the La Jolla High School. When people ask me, ‘Oh, you’re from La Jolla, do you know how to surf?’ I’m like … ‘No’ (laughs). I guess I missed a check mark there. I do love the ocean. I do bodysurfing, but I guess I was more of a land kid growing up.”
Where do you live now?
“In La Jolla, with my parents, on Herschel Avenue. The immediate blocks next to where I live have developed so much … Chipotle, Starbucks, The LOT, the YMCA just got rebuilt … It’s really cool, I say this jokingly, ‘I’m very urban,’ because I walk everywhere! I walk to the grocery store, to get food, to get my coffee … I like it here a lot, and in the summer months, I get to walk to the beach.”
Do you have any early memories of La Jolla? “I remember going early in the morning with my mom to The Cove, and then I remember learning how to ride my bike without training wheels at The Cove. And then, falling down (laughs).”
Where are your parents from?
“My father is from Tamaulipas (Mexico) and my mother from Michoacán (Mexico). They moved here around 1986, and then my brother was born in 1991. I was born in 1993. At the time, we were in Normal Heights, and we settled in La Jolla, and we haven’t moved since.”
What’s something people don’t know about you?
“I like to pay trivia. I play on Tuesdays every week at a bar on Turquoise Street. I also play disc golf.”
Do you like movies?
“Yes, I remember there used to be a Blockbuster in La Jolla, down where Rubio’s used to be, and my parents had an unlimited rentals pass, so my brother and I would go there almost all the time. We saw so many movies. Basically, every mob movie ever made because that’s our favorite. The ‘Godfather’ trilogy, ‘Goodfellas.’ … If it’s been made, I’ve seen it.”

to sympathize with them. Know their issues, know the gravity of their concerns and try to deal with them as reasonably and quickly as possible.”

“De Niro. He has way better characters.”
What would be your dream job?
“Working in international-conflict resolution. What I do now, but on a much larger scale.
If you could change something in La Jolla, what would it be?
“The streets. I get upset when I drive. I’d like to see the town flourish more. I’d fix the empty storefronts because The Village is really cool, a really good neighborhood, and I do appreciate it a lot. When I walk my dog, if I see something (on the ground) I pick it up. So if someone else leaves their dog droppings, it hurts me, so I pick them up.” — Mauricio Medina can be reached by e-mail at mauriciom@sandiego.gov

Village Garden Club’s 15th ‘Art and Flowers’ show, April 20 BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT In 2003, inspired by the popular “Art Alive” exhibitions at The San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) in Balboa Park, the Village Garden Club of La Jolla (VGCLJ) started an annual event of its own called “Expressions in Art and Flowers.” A more intimate affair, featuring 36 pairs of artists and floral designers, the 15th event will take place April 20 at Congregation Beth Israel on Towne Centre Drive. The annual show is a grand party that draws over 300 art- and flower-lovers, with attendance limited to club members and their families and friends. At last month’s club meeting, artist members brought in their favorite artworks — paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography and textiles — and prospective floral designers chose the pieces they wanted to interpret. “What’s so neat about the show is that it’s not judged; you can just let your creativity flow,” said Shabnam Miglani, this year’s
event chair. “I’ve participated twice in this show as a floral designer and once in ‘Art Alive,’ and it’s been so rewarding. You learn a dimension of yourself that you didn’t even know you had. I always did flower arrangements for my house, but until I took part in the shows, I never thought of myself as a designer. Now I do!” Miglani, a former lawyer who originally belonged to VGCLJ years ago, gave up her membership and her law practice when her daughter was born. She subsequently co-founded a software company with her husband, and rejoined the club in 2013. Participating artists and designers this year include event co-chairs Paula McColl, Patti Cooprider and Dottie Stanley. To find out about joining, visit the club’s website at vgclj.com AND: From April 28-30, you can attend the event that inspired it, SDMA’s 36th annual weekend-long “Art Alive” in Balboa Park.

Room to Grow
NCL members update challenged teen’s bedroom
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON To improve life for Emma, a 14-year-old with cystic fibrosis living in Spring Valley, the (La Jolla) National Charity League (NCL) Seaside Chapter engaged in a bedroom makeover project with Cecily’s Closet. Before the National Charity League stepped in, Emma was still in her childhood room, which was in dire need of some updating. “We wanted to give Emma something she could grow into, something functional, but cute,” said 16-year-old NCL member Julia Munson. “After we got to know her, we spent months planning the design. It’s a tiny room, so we wanted to have lots of light and lots of storage. We wanted to keep it practical, but also girly and fun.” On an informational web page about Emma and the project, she is described as “a mature, fun-loving, sassy, sweet and simply lovable girl, who is very excited about all things girly. She loves the color purple, Taylor Swift, glitter, make-up and all things Lego.” Cecily’s Closet pairs volunteer groups with children in San Diego County who have medical or special needs, to provide these children with room makeovers. When volunteers agree to redo a room, Cecily’s Closet gives the group $1,500 to fund construction services, furniture, decoration and whatever else the room needs. Rachel Ackerly, Cecily’s Closet president explained, “We're committed to helping children in the community and our efforts would not be possible without the hard work of volunteers who make it happen. We partner with organizations of all shapes and sizes, and our volunteers range in age from six to 70-plus. We are passionate about providing hands-on opportunities for our youth to improve the lives of children with special needs.” Because she is the treasurer for the NCL junior year group, Julia was in charge of keeping track of everyone’s purchases “to the cent,” she said. “Whenever someone bought something, I had to write it out, including shipping and taxes, and keep strict track of everything.” Julia was also tasked with designing the bed, including a new bedspread and pillows. Others were asked to rearrange the closet, decide on an area rug, purchase a couch, install a

vanity and come up with ways to improve storage. “Emma loves LEGO, so we needed a place for her to put everything. She gets tired very easily, so keeping things clean can be challenging to her. We needed to provide her with easy-access storage. Cleaning out the thousands of LEGO bricks in her room (so we could put in new furniture) was the hardest part. Emma has an oxygen tank with her at all times, so we also needed to clear the dust out of her room.” Another challenge for the group was contributing ideas that would yield a cohesively designed room with everyone’s ideas heard. “The walls went from blue to purple to lavender, and the bedspread changed like eight times. Even the day of, we had three choices and were still picking between them,” Julia laughed. When the big “room install” day came in February, Emma was in Northern California on a regular visit to Stanford Health Care for a medical check-up. The NCL girls spent a few hours cleaning out the room, freshening up the paint and bringing in new furniture. They recruited volunteer help for construction services
and were able to stay on budget with the exception of one item — a television. “We all pitched in as a group to get her a TV because she really wanted one,” Julia said. “When she saw her room for the first time, it was so great. Once we all saw how happy it made her, it was a great feeling.” Ackerly said Emma’s reaction was “priceless” when she saw her room. “The NCL team truly spent the time necessary to understand Emma’s likes, dislikes, her wishes ... and they got to know her, not just her disability. As a result, Emma adored her room. It was evident that she was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness, and the room was full of special touches that the teens made just for Emma,” she said. The Seaside NCL Chapter was founded on June 1, 2015 as the ninth NCL, Inc. chapter in San Diego County, and the 203rd NCL, Inc. chapter nationwide. National Charity League is a mother-daughter group that engages in community service projects. ■ On the Web: seaside.nationalcharityleague.org and cecilyscloset.org

Spring into Savings! 2017 VW Jetta S Young fencers run drills at La Jolla Fencing Academy FROM FENCING, B1 And though it has been open for less than two months, students have flocked to Guy’s studio and some of his former students have come back to assist with coaching. Student James Gordon, 17, also a sabre fencer, said he got into the sport when he lived in Virginia as a child. Fencing is reportedly widely popular on the East Coast and throughout Europe. “There was an after-school fencing program for elementary-schoolers,” Gordon said, “and I would go for an hour or two, a few days a week. My interest carried over when I moved to San Diego. I didn’t fence competitively, it was more recreational, but I love that I get to say I fence, which is not something most people get to say. It’s an odd sport, but it’s fun.” He added that he hopes to continue fencing in college. “Fencing is definitely a factor in which college I’ll decide upon,” James said. Sabre fencer Alex Reinsch-Goldstein, 14, said his interest in fencing spurred from his interest in history. “Fencing grew out of war and dueling, and other violent activities. I thought this was something with hundreds of years of history and development to it, so it appealed to my other interests, as well. Thanks to fencing, I’ve developed the ability to strategize, and now I can say I do a sport that is rather unique,” he said. Fencer Ilan Jinich, 13, said he appreciates that fencing places priority on intellect. “While in most other sports, athletes have to have a physical advantage over others, in fencing, being smart is the advantage,” he said. For part-time coach and Guy’s former student, Nydam, having fencing as part of

his resume opened up opportunities for travel and education. “I was a four-time All-American at Notre Dame and a NCAA national champion in the team event. Then, I was a member of the junior world championship team (for fencers under age 20), representing the United States, twice,” he said. “For six or seven years, I was traveling to Europe five times a year for competitions. It was a wonderful time of my life. I got to see the world and know people from all over — an amazing experience to have at such a young age.” Nydam also said fencing was an asset when it came to applying for college. “I had good grades and good SAT scores, but the schools got to know me from fencing. I had my choice of colleges,” he said. “Fencing is one of those sports with a presence at all the great institutions. It’s an amazing way to open doors.” Case in point, Guy’s son, Philippe, also a competitive fencer, is a freshman at Harvard. When home, Philippe is also a coach at the La Jolla Fencing Academy.
What to expect
A typical lesson at the studio consists of stretching and agility exercises, followed by drills and suiting up for exercises with a coach or one’s fellow students. Private lessons are also available, and Guy advocates for a mix of private lessons and group classes. Ready to train expert fencers, the flooring at the facility is similar to the flooring found at high-level competitions. In May, the studio will host a fencing competition, at which Guy will fence. In June, there will be summer camps with world championship fencers on hand. ■ ON THE WEB: Learn more at lajollafencingacademy.com
The ‘point’ of fencing
■ To succeed in fencing, you need to hit without being hit. “The rules are built around European dueling — kill without being killed — only we don’t kill anyone, we just score ‘touches,’ ” said La Jolla Fencing Academy owner Dmitriy Guy. ■ In a match, you fence until you touch your opponent with the tip of your weapon, then the two fencers step back, return to the “en guarde” position and fence again. Whoever scores five touches first wins. ■ Historically, touches were measured in blood; when one fencer was touched, he would bleed and that’s how judges would know who got the point. Then fencers used paint on the tips of weapons because judges could see it on a fencer. Next, it evolved to having referees and judges visually determine touches. Next, came wires running through uniforms to record a touch. Now, at the highest competitions, wireless technology is used.

True or False? Keeping the attention of a Generation Z-er (those born in the mid to late 1990s, mostly to Generation X parents) is harder than ever. Their average attention span is 8 seconds, compared to the 12-second attention span of Millennials (born in the early ’80s to mid ’90s, mostly to Baby Boomer parents). It’s true, according to Matt Stewart, co-founder of College Works Painting, who employs hundreds of Gen Z-ers and who’s done some research on their habits. His other findings: Generation Z children were raised in classrooms that focused on diversity and collaboration. Despite this fact, they tend to be more private than Millennials, perhaps as a result of seeing many of the downfalls of previous generations in the Great Recession.

Fresh Strawberry Risotto
Culinary facts I learned on spring break
W
hile home on the range during spring break, I attended to matters I had long put off, and along the way, I learned some handy tips I’d like to share. A dental procrastinator, I finally went to get my teeth cleaned, at which point the hygienist gently reminded me that certain foods and drinks are notorious stainers. The obvious ones include berries, cherries, dark chocolate, coffee, assorted teas, colas, red wines, and alas — white wines. Ahh, the crisp, full-bodied Chardonnay — golden hued and exuding lively aromas of tropical fruits — seems an innocent and unlikely culprit to stain teeth. But the white wine has a sneaky habit — attacking porous enamel head-on, opening the door for dark-colored foods and drinks to do their dirty work on the surface of teeth. The Best Zest: While a squirt of juice from an orange, lemon or lime enlivens everything from green salads, risottos and grilled chicken or fish to scones, quick breads and biscotti — the zest from the rind of assorted citrus fruits is even more expressive when used in those dishes. The peel is packed with aromatic oils that burst with fresh flavors and bright colors.
When delicately grated or shredded it becomes “zest.” Some basic zesting rules and tips include: • Before zesting, wash and dry the skin well; where possible, buy organic citrus. Sevilles, Valencias and tangerines make the best orange zest, while Meyers are divine for lemon zest; • A microplane (for long, thin curled strips), a citrus grater (for fine pieces), a paring knife and vegetable peeler (for larger strips of peel like “twists” or curlicues to garnish cocktails and other dishes) are popular zesting tools of the trade; • Shred, grate or peel gently and with moderate pressure to avoid snagging the bitter and spongy white pith beneath; • After juicing, freeze the rinds to use for zesting at your convenience. Stalk in Trade: Rhubarb, a lip-puckering spring treat, is botanically a vegetable belonging to the buckwheat family. Sold in bunches like asparagus, choose the short, darker pink stalks over the long green ones that tend to be bitter and stringy. This high-fiber, low-cal Vitamin C powerhouse balances well with sweet strawberries, raspberries and fresh ginger. So, whip up a crispy cobbler, tangy
■ Ingredients: • 1 cup Arborio rice • 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil • 1/2 cup dry white wine • 4 cups hot vegetable stock or broth • 3 shallots, minced • 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese • Dash of ground nutmeg COURTESY • Zest from one Meyer lemon or orange ■ Method: Heat oil in a heavy skillet and sauté shallots, and half the strawberries until soft. Add rice, coating the grains with the oil. Over medium heat, stir in wine until absorbed. Add the remaining liquid one cup at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining strawberries, cheese and seasonings. Garnish with lemon or orange zest and additional sliced strawberries. Serves 6. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
chutney or refreshing compote as a topping for gelatos, sponge cakes, parfaits or trifles. Rhubarb Alert: discard the leaves, which contain oxalates, an irritant to the mouth and throat. Strawberry Fields Forever: The most popular berry in the world, the mighty strawberry comes in 600 varieties, both wild and cultivated. Packed with Vitamins C, K and assorted Bs, trace minerals, fiber and antioxidants, strawberries have been touted
for everything from removing tartar from teeth for a mega-watt smile to warding off a throbbing ice-pick-on-the-skull migraine. Pick a fresh pint of firm, small to medium-sized berries with a rich crimson hue that tend to be sweeter and juicier than large, paler ones (and make sure the green stem cap is still attached). Eat them solo, jazz up a tossed salad or sweet chilled soup, soak in Grand Marnier and orange zest for a versatile topping, dip in bittersweet chocolate.

To Tweet or Not to Tweet, That Is the Question See if this is familiar: You post a picture on your social media account, maybe of your vacation or of the meal you prepared, or of your pet doing something so adorable that it puts videos of other people’s grandchildren to shame. Your few dependable “likers” are the first to acknowledge your post with the requisite “thumbs up” or heart. You put your mobile device away to work on that project that’s due at the end of the week, or to eat the meal you just prepared and showed off online. But then you start checking in with your social media account to see if any new reactions have come in. Maybe you pull out
your phone during the dinner, or you get stuck on a section of the project and think, Well, I’ll just go back online to check my social media account, see what others are up to. In the meantime, maybe another “like” or reaction has come in, and then you see a fascinating article, or a video, or a friend’s post, and you find yourself responding, and all of a sudden, three hours of your life have gone by and you haven’t gotten anything done. Or perhaps you’re the type of person to engage online in political discussions-turneddebates-turned-all-out-battles, spending hours checking to see if your online combatant has responded to your last comment. You feel angry, even stressed out, that someone could be so ignorant, and you have to set them straight (or at least not let them get away with their ignorance unscathed). In any of these cases, you can become sucked into the loop of constant checking, a habit that becomes an addiction. For some, being a constant checker is a search for validation. For other people, constant checking is the same kind of addictive behavior as unconsciously reaching for the third straight cigarette or
dipping into the bag of chips when you’re not hungry. But the patterns are the same, and an increased focus on social media is now shown to cause an increased level of stress among Americans. In fact, in its most recent annual survey on stress in America, the American Psychological Association found that stress and anxiety levels have made the first significant jump higher in ten years. According to the report, “Between August 2016 and January 2017, the overall average reported stress level of Americans rose from 4.8 to 5.1, on a scale where 1 means little or no stress and 10 means a great deal of stress.” The American Psychological Association made its surprising announcement last month. The report that stress levels are up may not be news to most Americans; however, the extreme rise in rates is what’s so surprising. Between last year’s election and the inauguration, 57% of Americans have reported that the political climate was their main source of stress. An important corollary effect of the increased levels of stress was the increase in health issues. According to the same APA report, respondents
reported “at least one health symptom because of stress rose from 71 percent to 80 percent over five months. A third of Americans have reported specific symptoms such as headaches (34 percent), feeling overwhelmed (33 percent), feeling nervous or anxious (33 percent) or feeling depressed or sad (32 percent).” It’s no accident that stress levels have gotten higher. In the same ten-year span that the APA has conducted its stress survey, the Pew Research Center has reported that usage of social media has increased from 5% of Americans on social media sites in 2006 to roughly 69% today. With 69% of Americans on social media sites, many of them becoming constant checkers, being constantly bombarded with contradictory viewpoints from the 24-hour news cycle or from social comparison , it’s no wonder that anxiety rates are up.
