Soledad Cross upkeep underway
One Step (or Stroke) at a Time
“
Don’t let fear stop you – you are never too old to learn.

Companies volunteer repair services FROM MT. SOLEDAD REPORTS The large white cross atop the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial is getting a much-needed facelift, courtesy of a number of local business volunteers, and the McKinnon Family Foundation, which has given the Mt. Soledad Memorial Association a donation to be used strictly for the maintenance of the cross. The cross is now surrounded by scaffolding as many years of weathering and wear are being scrubbed away and a new coat of paint is added. It has been determined by an engineering company that after “all these years ... since 1954,” the cross is still structurally intact. The 29-foot cross, which can be seen for miles, anchors the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial, where more than 4,200 service members, living and deceased are honored with plaques. It is the only memorial of its kind in the nation, honoring veterans from the Revolutionary War to the present day, and draws more than 70,000 visitors annually. Several local contractors have agreed to donate their expertise and services SEE CROSS, A6

LIGHT Visiting brothers petition for more signs to protect seals An Edition of
565 Pearl St., Suite 300 La Jolla, CA 92037 (858) 459-4201 lajollalight.com
More than 65,000 signatures collected BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Brothers Joshua, 11, and Josiah, 9, visiting La Jolla from Nevada in March, were watching the harbor seals sunning south of Children’s Pool from a 20-foot distance, when a mother seal hauled out of the ocean in front of
them and started nursing. They held their breaths to allow the animal to continue. “It was a very cool experience,” said Joshua. His younger brother added, “she probably has to get used to (having so many people around), I
don’t think she likes it.” The brothers report they were having a great time enjoying the ocean life, but they saw something that horrified them. A crowd gathered and surrounded the group of seals south of Children’s Pool and the boys report the “seals and their babies were touched, stepped over, had cameras put in their faces, were not viewed

from any distance.” While the north side of Children’s Pool (Mencinger Point) features different signs that inform people that harassing the harbor seals breaks federal law, the south side beach doesn’t. A group of 10 to 30 harbor seals can be found on the southern side at most times. SEE SEALS, A27

‘The fault lies with poor planning’
Engineer discusses Shores street construction setbacks BY ASHLEY MACKIN Although the jackhammering and construction vehicles in La Jolla Shores will be temporarily silenced at the start of the summer moratorium (Memorial Day), there will be a lot taking place this summer to get the project, to replace underground sewer and water infrastructure, back on track. In progress since December 2013, and scheduled for completion in late 2015, the street work has seen multiple problems that put the project behind schedule. Among them: the sinkhole that opened up at the end of Avenida de la Playa after a storm surge, collapsed storm drains, drain systems not holding up to the requirements for which they were designed and infrastructure not being sized properly (thus needing to be replaced). During the La Jolla Shores Association April 13 meeting, San Diego Civil Engineer Steve Lindsay said city engineers would take the summer to address these problems and redesign the plans to ensure no further delays and that the work is done right. The first step in making sure work going forward will not see the same setbacks was to dismiss the former engineering firm Tetra Tech and hire Rick Engineering to draft the designs. “As far as we can tell so far, the fault lies with poor planning,” he said. “We will have a lot of people looking at this and investigating, we have insurance companies going up and

down the street, taking photos and so on. It could be a contractor issue, but I think the problem was the design. But the investigators will find what they find.” He added that a legal claim has been filed against Tetra Tech and more could be coming. “We tracked the additional charges (because of the design errors) and estimated a cost and said, ‘you owe us this much.’ We will go through the process needed to reclaim any lost dollars,” Lindsay said. Between now and the summer moratorium, he said, “We are working on the temporary repairs at the end of Avenida de la
Playa. We hope to take care of a lot of problems and create a mechanism in case the water pressure does come back up, so there is a way to relieve the pressure and not create a sinkhole. We don’t expect big storms this summer, but we want to be prepared anyway.” To “button up” the work on surrounding streets leading to the beach during the summer months, the street will be coated with an asphalt layer. “It will be in perfect driving condition, it just won’t be as pretty as it could be,” Lindsay assured. Work at the site will resume after Labor Day.

PDO committee OKs ‘sandwich board’ regulations BY ASHLEY MACKIN After lengthy debate April 11, La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance (PDO) review committee voted to recommend adoption of City of San Diego guidelines on A-frame signs (sandwich boards) to regulate the copious freestanding structures on the commercial streets of the Village. The idea behind adopting the regulations was to give the city tools for enforcement. These regulations do allow A-frames, but under strict limitations on who may post one, the sign’s contents, and where it can be placed. Sandwich boards were prohibited in any form under the now defunct Promote La Jolla group, which has re-formed as the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association (LJVMA). But in the last few years, the number of A-frame signs has increased throughout town, with no proof of enforcement at the city level. It’s a bit of a tricky issue, as noted by PDO chair Ione Steigler at the meeting, “I still get hung up on the idea that the city is going to enforce the changes but cannot enforce the rules as they are now. It’s inane.” At the hands of Promote La
La Jolla’s PDO committee recommends adoption of city guidelines on A-frame signs. Jolla, the sign prohibition was stated simply in the city’s Public Right-of-Way Ordinance program: “In La Jolla, A-frame signs are not permitted. However, Promote La Jolla-sponsored signs in the right-of-way (one or two per
block) may be permitted.” (It was later disclosed the “Promote La Jolla-sponsored signs” referenced the way-finding signs the group tried to establish years ago, before its dissolution.) La Jolla is the only area in the city with
ASHLEY MACKIN
such an exclusion. However, LJVMA president Claude-Anthony Marengo, who pushed for the regulation adoption, argued that it was because La Jolla was unique that there’s been a roadblock in
enforcement. “I’ve been told by city officials that if La Jolla were just like every other Business Improvement District (BID), there would be an enforcement mechanism in place,” he said. LJVMA executive director Sheila Fortune added that she walked a code compliance officer through the streets of La Jolla to illustrate the sandwich board proliferation problem, and “the city said to us, ‘you wanted to be different, so you enforce the rules you wanted to have.’ ” If La Jolla were to have the same regulations as other areas, Marengo argued, code compliance officers would not have to cross-check for any disparities in La Jolla’s rules, they could just proceed with enforcing the code they know. Further, because the city’s PROW Ordinance is specific with what is permitted, an officer could (theoretically) spot anything in violation and quickly notify the party at fault. Under the current prohibition, enforcement involves writing a letter to the violator and the city, waiting 30 days, and then writing another letter to the city’s code compliance to schedule a visit and SEE SIGNS, A29

Police to lock Shores park gates pre-holidays to deter camping BY ASHLEY MACKIN Law enforcement officials weighed in on the La Jolla Shores Association’s (LJSA) plans to deter illegal camping in Kellogg Park during summer holidays, at the board’s April 13 meeting. As reported in March, LJSA chair Nick LeBeouf said leading up to holidays such as Memorial Day and Fourth of July, cars arrive “in heavy, heavy numbers” late at night to set up a tent so campers have a prime beach spot the next day. However, overnight camping in a fully enclosed tent is illegal in the park. To prevent the problem from getting out of hand, board members agreed more proactive efforts need to be taken, such as larger, clearer signage and social media outreach. To further assist, lifeguard Lieutenant Rich Stropky said lifeguards will partner with area park rangers. “We are going to integrate our efforts to work together as the problem dates get closer,” he said. “But the community activism already going on will help a lot to deter the issues that are taking place.” Further still, San Diego Police Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser said officers would close the gates to the Kellogg Park parking lot, hopeful that those
La Jolla Shores Association chair Nick LeBeouf, treasurer Jenny Fineberg and members Dede Donovan and Dave Gordon. with large amounts of camping and party gear will not want to walk several blocks to the park. Using Memorial Day as a test run, Hesselgesser said the park gates would be locked at 10 p.m. nightly that weekend and reopened at 4 a.m. the next day. Anyone illegally parked in the lot during those hours would be ticketed. Recognizing the idea is not without its flaws, Hesselgesser said, “That curb surrounding the lot is very small and we might see people going over the curb and driving over the grass to get to the lot. We will not be able to post someone there overnight to make sure that doesn’t happen, but if we could have someone to cite illegal parking in the morning that would be good.” Another concern is whether people would turn to the
neighborhood to park their cars, and bring the problems closer to area homes. “It’s a double-edged sword,” noted chair LeBeouf. On the advice of city staff, LJSA moved to request additional funds from the department of Park & Rec for staff to open and close the gates on an annual basis on the problem weekends. A motion to send a letter to the department of Park and Rec, Council President Sherri Lightner and the Mayor’s office passed unanimously. In other LJSA news: ■ 23 students rescued over Spring Break: Lt. Stropky reported that 60 high school swimmers from Murrieta, just north of Temecula, were attempting to swim from the Cove to the Shores, and several had to be

But colder-than-expected water temperatures led to panic and hypothermia before they could finish. The water temp was about 59 degrees, Spropky said, “which for a pool swimmer would be devastating.” The 23 rescued students were examined on scene, and one female who became unconscious was taken to the hospital. ■ Farmers Market faces challenges: Angie Preisendorfer said the proposed Shores Farmers Market in Laureate Park was still being explored, but there are challenges in getting vendors. “The park’s not a huge piece of property,
and the market would just be for locals some night in the week so not to conflict with the Open Aire Farmers Market (on Sundays at La Jolla Elementary School). As such, it wouldn’t yield a huge profit,” she said. Izzy Tihanyi added, “It would be for residents to pick up produce after work. It wouldn’t include food trucks or pre-made food, just organic produce. We wouldn’t try to bring in a huge crowd.” Preisdendorfer said she would report back with more details as they became available. A motion to support the Farmers Market concept passed unanimously. —LJSA meets 6:30 p.m. second Wednesdays at Martin Johnson House of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org

From Silicon Valley to La Jolla
Startup company aims to create 100 jobs in town BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Silicon Valley has been the most appealing location for tech companies for decades. Now, those directional wheels may be turning. Bizness Apps is a tech startup in the process of moving its headquarters from Silicon Valley to La Jolla. Behind this decision is one big reason: talent. CEO and founder Andrew Gazdecki said the company creates apps for small businesses. The startup launched in 2010 made $7.6 million in 2014 and was ranked 91st on the Inc. 5000 list of fast growing private companies in 2015. “Any sort of small business that has repeat costumers is a great candidate for Bizness Apps,” Gazdecki said. For $29 a month his company offers mobile-friendly websites and for $59 businesses can create their own apps for iPad, iPhone or Android. “We saw an opportunity to take our company to an area where there’s less competition but still very high amount of talent,” Gazdecki said, adding he figures that moving to San Diego gives him a better chance at recruiting the best in a less competitive environment. And, among all locations in San Diego, Gazdecki chose La Jolla for the headquarters — at 7590 Fay Ave. “We just thought it was a beautiful area and it had a lot of amenities outside of the

Gazdecki said he intends to create 100 local jobs over the next three years. “It’s a pretty big goal and

we are going to work hard towards it,” he said. Engineers, developers, sales and customer service representatives can apply at bizness-apps.workable.com. Before moving away from Silicon Valley, Gazdecki said he calculated that the cost of living is 30 to 40 percent cheaper in San Diego County. The cost of rent and quality
of life in the San Diego area were other factors to consider for the move. Not only will the company be saving rent money monthly in San Diego, but its employees will increase their purchasing power. “You pay (your employees) the same salary, but their dollars go further,” he explained. “So normally what they would pay for a one-bedroom (in San Francisco), can now pay for a three- bedroom apartment here,” he said. The year-round sunny San Diego weather appealed to the Bizness Apps CEO, too. Gazdecki, who grew up in San Clemente, said he’s looking forward to surfing after work. “I am excited to get out in the ocean and take advantage of all the great things that San Diego has to offer, and surfing is definitely one of them,” he said. ■ On the Web: biznessapps.com

Cory Briggs brings Citizens’ Plan to La Jolla BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Attorney Cory Biggs was the guest speaker at the La Jolla Town Council meeting, April 14, where he presented the so-called Citizens’ Plan for San Diego, which he co-authored with Pedro Quiroz, Jr., Richard Lawrence, Livia Borak, and former City Councilmember Donna Frye. The initiative could be up for vote on the November ballot, although it’s being met with resistance from City Attorney Jan Goldsmith who argues it isn’t legal. Originally called the “Pay Their Own Way” plan, the initiative would raise hotel room taxes and use that money to build an expanded convention center in downtown San Diego — but not on the waterfront. Briggs said that it’s important for San Diego to protect its natural beauty. “This is La Jolla, you know that value of beaches,” he said. Under the Plan, the San Diego River would also be guaranteed extra protection. The area currently being used for parking lots would be transformed into a park or used for higher education purposes at no cost to taxpayers.
MARIA JOSE DURAN
Cory Briggs pitches the Citizens’ Plan to the La Jolla Town Council, April 14. Briggs emphasized that the Citizens’ Plan will open a transparent discussion on important development issues, rather than them being decided behind closed doors. A downtown stadium for the Chargers could also be achieved via the Plan, Briggs said, because it would pave the way
for a joint-use facility with the off-waterfront convention center. Briggs’ calculates that building the convention center and the stadium together would save $400 million. However, the petition prohibits the City from paying for a stadium without a public vote. The reason behind this,

said Briggs, is the unpopularity of a Chargers stadium paid for by taxpayers. “When we did our poll in the summer, no one wanted to give the Chargers what they wanted,” he added. The trade-off for the hotel industry is a reduction in the environmental litigation that projects may face. Hotels in San Diego, including La Jolla, would see their room tax increased if the initiative is approved. Establishments with more than 30 rooms would tax visitors 15.5 percent, and below this number 14 percent. “The hoteliers that have worked with me said this is not a problem for San Diego because places like Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Francisco are at least 15.5 percent or above. People say it’s competitive and it shouldn’t be a problem,” Briggs said. The initiative has gathered nearly 90,000 signatures thus far and it’s close to the pledged support of 10 percent of registered voters that it needs to make ensure the City Council doesn’t kill it outright. If it were put on the ballot, the initiative would need to pass with a 50 percent-plus-one SEE BRIGGS, A24

‘I didn't build this just to tear it down’
Artist seeks compromise, not demolition, of controversial piece BY ASHLEY MACKIN s the deadline approaches for La Jolla sculptor Nasser Pirasteh to either take down an artistic installation on his property at 6706 Avenida Manana, or face fines of up to $250,000, the artist told La Jolla Light he has been seeking a compromise with no avail. In March, the city issued Pirasteh a notice indicating he has until May 7 to remove a 10-foot dome-like piece fronting Nautilus Street, claiming it is an “unpermitted structure.” “They are trying to force me to tear down this piece of art. I am not going to give up. No one has convinced me yet that this is a ‘structure,’” he said. Counter-arguing the piece is actually a “sculpture,” Pirasteh said he does not intend to remove the work from his property. “I’m not disagreeing with the law, I respect and understand the law. But the law says I cannot have a structure or a building and I don’t. I have a sculpture,” he said. “I never thought when I built my sculpture it would come to this.” The San Diego Municipal Code violations defines a “structure” as “an edifice or building of any kind or any construction built up or composed of parts joined together in some definite manner including a wall, fence, pier, post, sig, or shelter.” Further, an “accessory structure” is “a structure attached to or detached from a primary structure located on
A
ASHLEY MACKIN
La Jolla artist Nasser Pirasteh with the sculpture the city claims is an ‘accessory structure’ on his property. the same premises that is customarily incidental and subordinate to the primary structure or use. The term accessory structure includes accessory buildings.” The city’s notice indicates Pirasteh constructed an accessory structure.
If so, he jokes, it wouldn’t be a very useful one. “The sculpture is less than 120 square feet, with openings that cannot be closed, so if it rains, rain is going to get in. If the wind blows, it’s going to be windy in there,” he said.
Rather than take the installation down, Pirasteh said he has been searching for a compromise the city might find amenable. “There are plenty of things I see being added to the neighborhood that I don’t like, such as balconies, decks or other additions to homes, which I have to look at, but I understand it’s their home, so they can do that,” he said. Pirasteh added when those home additions are going through the approval process, there needs to be a certain number of people who support it. Comparing that to his situation, he suggested the city poll his neighbors. “Many others have supported me on this, people have come from the neighborhood to tell me they support me,” he said. An alternative, he suggested, is to have the city provide a location where Pirasteh could move the installation, so it could still serve its artistic purpose. “I don’t have room on the property to move it somewhere else on site (so it doesn’t face the street). But if we can find a place for it, I’ll move it,” he said. “But the city is not offering any other solutions and I’m sure a compromise can be found here.” If no such compromise can be found by the May 7 deadline, Pirasteh said he plans to appeal the city’s decision. “I’m going to fight this ... If I lose, I’d want to lose with a solid understanding so I can hold my head high. But I didn’t build this (sculpture) just to tear it down.”

DPR OKs modern Sea Ridge home, Country Club area development BY ASHLEY MACKIN For the first time in close to a year, La Jolla’s Development Permit Review committee (DPR) exercised its right to turn a preliminary review into a final review during its April 12 meeting. After reviewing for the first time the Turquand Residence at 1745 Castellana Road in the Country Club area, permitters determined findings could be made for the requested Coastal Development Permit for the demolition of existing one-story single family residence, storage and stairs, construction of a new two-story single family residence, site retaining walls, site stairs, pool and exterior hardscaping. Applicant Taal Safdie, of Safdie Rabines Architects, said the proposed development is similar in bulk and scale to the surrounding homes. “Our approach was to take advantage of the spectacular views and keep the concept of how the house looks from the street the same,” she said. “From the street, you only see a very little bit of the house. The majority of what you see is a series of terraces of landscaping up to the top of the house.” Of the landscaping planned for

DPR chair Paul Benton examines renderings for the Sea Ridge Drive project during the April 12 meeting at Rec Center.
Applicant Elizabeth Carmichael shows material samples for the home build project at 311 Sea Ridge Drive. the terraces, she said several cypress trees on the property would remain. There is also currently ivy and bougainvillea, but developers are planning to remove much of the ivy and replace it with more bougainvillea in different colors, and other
drought-tolerant plants. Other slightly visible (from the street) elements include the underside of the roof, which Safdie said would likely be a type of wood and the retaining wall, which will be similar to what is already in place.
Meeting attendee Patrick Ahern said, “I think the bulk and scale is relative to everything around it and it will fit in nicely. And I really like the green garden wall.” Others in support, and in attendance, included the homeowners and a few neighbors. So while DPR members said they were “excited” about the design, the thing reviewer Brian Will was most excited about was the proof that neighbors had been contacted, and that they were in support of the project. Because the neighbors offered “positive words and wishes of good luck,” and the board could
think of no other questions for the applicant to answer, Will moved the presentation be made a final, which passed unanimously. The recommendation will proceed to La Jolla’s Community Planning Association for ratification.

Sehgal’s sends Vikings home from Petco as winners BY CHRIS SAUER Tickets may have been a bit cheaper on Monday night for the game at Petco Park, but fans watching La Jolla High edge Point Loma, 4-3, got just as much excitement as any San Diego Padres game. After trailing for the entire contest, the Vikings used an infield single, an error and a balk by a Pointers reliever to tie things at 3-3 in the bottom of the seventh and final inning. Two batters later, junior Zach Sehgal smashed a walk-off RBI single up the middle, sending La Jolla senior teammate Ben Wintringer across the plate for the winning run. “I knew I was going to come through, that’s just the way I play, with confidence,” Sehgal said while standing in front of the dugout that his team had borrowed from the Padres for the night. Sehgal’s smash was the second walk-off hit Petco Park had seen in three days as Pads standout Melvin Upton Jr. won Saturday’s game with a 14th-inning home run. “I got my pitch, I’m a lowball hitter. The ball came in, I told myself this is my pitch right here … I stayed short and the rest is history,” said Sehgal. “(This team) fights. We fight to the end. That’s just how we play. I’m

La Jolla High’s Ben Wintringer (9) scores the winning run on a hit by teammate Zach Sehgal as the Vikings beat Point Loma, 4-3, in a game played Monday at Petco Park. happy for the guys. (Playing at Petco Park) was a great experience. Especially with our crowd out here, it’s something I’ll never forget.” That crowd of more than 300 and the special surroundings may have contributed to some sloppiness for both teams. In the top of the first
inning, Point Loma (8-9, 0-3 Western League) put some pressure on the Vikings defense, forcing a pair of errors. The first Pointers’ hitter, Mathew Amberg, led off with a bunt single and teammate Aidan Yackly followed suit. The juniors moved to second and third
on a passed ball, then Philip Huber’s groundout and an ensuing error by La Jolla (14-4, 3-0 entering Tuesday) allowed both runners to score. Though the Viking made another error in the inning, La Jolla starter Nick Ferenczy got out of the inning. Then, the junior right-hander started rolling,
giving up no runs, just two more hits and striking out four in his four-inning stint. His Point Loma counterpart, senior lefty Cole van den Helder, was even better, allowing just three hits and one run in five innings pitched. That one Viking tally came in the bottom of the third after senior shortstop Trenton Fudge earned a one-out walk. Senior Johnny Agbulos followed with a single, classmate Stone Scoppettuolo worked a free pass to load the bases and Wintringer’s walk forced home his team’s first run. Still leading 2-1, the Pointers doubled their advantage with an unearned run in the sixth inning. In that frame, freshman Anthony Hall singled against new relief pitcher Agbulos and pinch runner Joe Pasquill scored on an error. “I think all of the hoopla and all of the extra-curricular stuff (with playing at Petco Park) was kinda taking some of our focus away early on,” said La Jolla skipper Gary Frank. But the Vikings were laser-focused when they needed to be … With his team still behind 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Fudge beat out an infield single to shortstop. Agbulos came up next and sent a single SEE BASEBALL, A22

FROM SWIM, A1
Breaking it down, step by step, Holley said the very first step is to get into a pool. And it has to be a pool. “Many people think swimming in a pool is boring, but it’s crucial to start learning in a pool to build these skills because of the security that comes with it. When you’re in a pool, you can look down and see the bottom and if you get tired, you can just stand up.” From there, he instructs on the five basic safety skills as guided by the American Red Cross: Be able to jump in the water, tread water for 60 seconds, turn around in the water, find an exit and exit the pool. These skills are considered lifesaving in the event that someone who doesn’t know how to swim or has less than strong skills finds themselves in a body of water. More than once, Holley said, he’s heard of a vacationer relaxing poolside, when someone pushes them into a pool (assuming they know how to swim) or slipping and falling into a body of water. Not to mention the many people he’s met who come from circumstances like McCormick’s — to San Diego as an adult who never learned to swim. Swimmers who eventually transition to open water not only have to face the changing conditions not found in a pool, but the mental stresses, as well. “We ask ourselves, ‘what if I get tired,’ ‘what if I can’t see the bottom,’ ‘what just touched my foot?’ Panic can set in. Ocean swimmers have to build confidence first in a pool,” Holley said. Although slowly building confidence, McCormick said he is not quite strong enough for open water, but he would like to be soon. “Once I get more time in the pool, I may tread out in the ocean and see how it feels ... I want to get out there and eventually learn how to surf,” he said. With the support of those around him, and working with “a great teacher,” in Holley, McCormick recommends other non-swimmers face their fears and try something new. “Don’t let fear stop you – you are never too old to learn,” he said. “If I can do it, anyone can do it. It was terrifying for me, so if I can take this fear and, pardon the expression, swim with it, anyone can.” —If interested in learning to swim, visit usms.org or to reach Holley visit chrisholleyhealthcoach.com
came back to San Diego and decided to execute a “Southern California re-do,” he said. At the top of that bucket list of California activities,was learning to swim. In February, McCormick started taking lessons with instructor Chris Holley at the Coggan Pool. “The hardest part was making the decision to commit to it. The first lesson, I promised myself I would go in with no fear,” McCormick said. Of his early encounters with McCormick, Holley explained, “He was a little apprehensive about first getting into the water, but he slowly went through the steps and finally I watched him go from one end of the pool to the other for the first time. You could see the emotion on his face and I’m honored that I got to be a part of that.” Contrary to McCormick, Holley grew up near the lakes of Minnesota, and has been swimming since he was 5. “I was also a swimmer in high school and college. After I graduated, I let my swimming, and my fitness, fall to the wayside,” he said. “At one point, I tipped the scales at 400 pounds. When I decided to get healthy, swimming was something I knew how to do. And unlike running, it was easy on my joints. So I used swimming to get back in shape.” Wanting to give back for all that swimming has done for him, Holley decided to get certified in teaching adults. He would like to establish Coggan Pool as an Adult Learn-to-Swim site with time slots just for older learners. “Most swim instructors teach kids, who are fearless and don’t over-analyze everything; some don’t know how to handle the unique challenges that come with teaching an adult,” he said. “Adults have different fears and it takes more patience.” For example, when an instructor tells children they have to stroke their arms and kick their legs, “they kind of go for it,” Holley said. “Adults start to think about how what they’re doing looks like compared those around them. With adults, we have to break down the lessons to focus on one thing at a time, so they can develop that one thing and not get overwhelmed.”

La Jolla senior hurler Johnny Agbulos delivers a pitch in his team’s 4-3 walk-off win over Point Loma on Monday at Petco Park. FROM BASEBALL, A21 through the middle where it was bobbled by the Point Loma center fielder, allowing Fudge to score and Agbulos to get to third base. The Pointers brought in reliever Matt Lombardi to settle things down, but the tall right-hander balked home Agbulos on his second pitch, tying the game at 3-3. With the momentum all in the La Jolla dugout, Wintringer and catcher Garrett Brown hit back-to-back singles to set up Sehgal’s winning poke. “It’s what we preach to our kids, it’s what they’ve been doing all year, play all 21 outs,” Frank said. “We battle, we fight, we scratch to the very end. We’ve got a lot of heart on this team and they
showed it here (Monday) where they never gave up against a good team. “To come up with a win, at probably the biggest venue most of them are ever going to play at, made it a fun night all the way around.” Fudge reached base in all four of his plate appearances — finishing 3-for-3 with a double and a walk — while Agbulos went 2-for-3. In addition to his key seventh-inning hit, Brown also threw out a runner attempting to steal in the second. The Vikings took on Bishop’s on Tuesday before a showdown at Madison on Friday. For the Pointers, Amberg was 3-for-4 and Yackly added two hits. Point Loma hosts Mission Bay on Friday.

FROM SEA RIDGE, A12 Rock garnered board approval. After discussions in March and April, DPR voted that findings could be made to demolish an existing single dwelling unit and construct a 8,968 square-foot single dwelling unit at 311 Sea Ridge Drive. The project incorporates a roof-mounted photovoltaic system consisting of solar panels sufficient to generate at least 50 percent of the project's projected energy consumption. Following some problematic renderings, in which the color was portrayed inconsistently, applicant Elizabeth Carmichael presented newer renderings and material samples in the proposed colors. The board also discussed a clear glass wall that lines the property that creates a view corridor, but also creates a stark divide between the house and the street. “We played quite a bit with the side wall and the materials to get the transparency you wanted to the front patio area. So we lowered the sidewall to three feet and utilized clear glass above that,” Carmichael explained. Observing that the proposed sidewall does create a view corridor to the ocean, DPR chair Paul Benton commended the project. Answering all board questions, a motion that findings could be made for the requested permit passed, 5-1-0. ■ Moran Residence plans: Draft plans for a second story expansion for a home at 7348 Vista del Mar Ave. (near Marine Street Beach) were heard, but the applicant, Claude-Anthony Marengo was asked to return with more information. Marengo requests a Coastal Development Permit and Site Development Permit to construct an addition and interior remodel at an existing single dwelling unit totaling 12,344 square feet. “We have a one-story and a second-story element, most of which is in the same footprint as the first floor, that we are going to add on to,” he explained. With the additions, the house will be 27 feet at its highest point. He will return to a future DPR meeting with more details. – DPR meets 4 p.m. second and third Tuesdays at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Runners and walkers on their mark for Sunday’s Half Marathon
A
re you ready for La Jolla's 35th annual Kiwanis Half Marathon this Sunday (April 24)? This historical Del Mar-to-La Jolla run starts at the fairgrounds, runs through the resort town of Del Mar, along Coast Highway with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, through the beautiful Torrey Pines State Park, then south by Torrey Pines Golf Course and the campus of UCSD to La Jolla Shores Beach before finishing at picturesque La Jolla Cove. (See photo above from 2015’s race.) More than 7,000 runners and 8,000 spectators each year experience either the Half Marathon or the 5K. The La Jolla Shores 5K starts simultaneously with the Half Marathon and proceeds along the final five thousand meters, roughly 3.1 miles, of the Half Marathon course. It’s not too late to get involved as a volunteer or participant, visit lajollahalfmarathon.com and follow the prompts to register. See you at the Expo and Packet Pickup (Friday, April 22 and Saturday, April 23 at the Del Mar Hilton), and Del Mar Racetrack or La Jolla Cove. Trenton Bonner
Eat sustainably to help save our planet Earth With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day April 22, it’s a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conserving Earth’s natural resources for future generations. A 2010 UN report charged animal agriculture with 19 percent of man-made
greenhouse gases (more than all transport) and recommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50 percent. A report from Oxford University found that global adoption of a vegan diet would reduce greenhouse emissions by two thirds. The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has recommended reduced meat consumption and an environmentally sustainable diet. Just as we replace fossil fuels by wind, solar and other sustainable energy sources, we must replace animal foods with the more sustainable vegetables, fruits and grains. Being mindful of this can help us make better choices at the supermarket. Sheldon Daniels
Dogs don’t belong in Vons grocery store People, please stop bringing your pet dogs to Vons! Our only Village supermarket is small and crowded enough without undisciplined dogs getting underfoot and long leashes blocking the aisles. Of course, I am not referring to ADA-trained service dogs that accompany people with disabilities. But the rest of you, please use common courtesy and leave your dogs at home while grocery shopping. According to the U.S. Department of Justice: “Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.” Joanie Connell
I’d like to respond to two recent letters. First, in regards to forming our own City of La Jolla via the State of California Special Reorganization process, I’ve been part of that effort for many years, as have many cities up and down the coast of California, and we see that some cities have become too big and can no longer take care of all the communities within them. The beauty of becoming your own city is you can contract the services needed, so instead of paying $80 for a pothole repair you could pay $8. That’s why when you look at Del Mar, Solana Beach and Coronado, they are beautiful with no potholes and no cracked sidewalks. We can and must become our own city, and to that end, we are putting out a request for $75,000. That sum will fund two things: an updated Fiscal Analysis to show we have enough money to become our own city (the initial study done years ago ended in the black) and we need to define La Jolla's boundaries using the ZIP code 92037. To learn more about us, visit independentlajolla.org It’s all there — questions and answers, how to donate, and what the process is. I’m sure there is someone out there who wants to be the founder of the City of La Jolla. As to the other letter commenting that the opportunity to incorporate La Jolla has passed, that is incorrect. We are right where we need to be, in line with many other cities that realize their time has come. The State of California has a process in place to do this and we now need to establish our mapped boundaries and prove our financial solvency via a 2016 Fiscal Analysis. Melinda Merryweather

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) the Village, cherish the Village. Indeed, many people experience the Village as an extension of their own backyards. It is also true that there is a shared concern that the well being of our community has been undermined by the deteriorating conditions of our sidewalks and landscaping. I was moved by the willingness and generosity of private donors — residents, property owners and business owners — to step forward and participate in the grassroots Sparkle & Shine campaign. With the establishment of Enhance La Jolla, the vast majority of program costs will be paid for by property and business owners, based on property size. For surrounding homeowners impacted by the business community, the fee will be a flat annual fee, less than $7.50 a month, for inclusion in a program to keep the neighborhood sidewalks and planters attractive and clean. With 63 MADs in San Diego, it is certainly not an unusual approach to improving a community. Instead it is a proven “big picture” solution, a forward-thinking solution, and the only one that can re-establish a beautiful Village. Nancy Warwick
Some thoughts on artist Nasser Pirasteh’s dilemma Just wondering: If Nasser Pirasteh had applied for a permit to build his sculpture, would it have been granted? Just wondering: If Nasser Pirasteh actually pays the daily fine up to $250,000, will the sculpture be allowed to stay? Just wondering: If one person can complain and bring about this removal result, can one
person object and have this process halted or reconsidered? Just wondering: Nasser Pirasteh is an artist whose great imagination, artistry, and dedication produce works that are a joy to behold. His concept of using recyclables alone should cause us all to rejoice. Why would our society choose to punish him and his work in this deplorable fashion? Deja vu: In 1978, as a new arrival in California, I began teaching piano in my home. At the time, getting a permit was an ambiguous process here in La Jolla. A neighbor soon complained about the “noise” and “traffic,” and after a court hearing and fine of $562.50, I was given a Conditional Use Permit by the Zoning Administration.

CORRECTION The April 14 story about the pre-parties for the La Jolla Concours d'Elegance, should have stated that the Friday, April 8 party was hosted and donated by THE LOT (not Scripps Park). THE LOT crew worked hard to make it a great evening.

Brothers and Joshua, 11 and Josiah, 9, view Casa Beach (aka Children’s Pool) from the elevated observation walkway. FROM SEALS, A1 The brothers decided to do something about it and started a change.org petition, which in two weeks has gathered more than 65,000 signatures from people representing more than 81 countries around the world for the installation of south side warning signs. “It’s encouraging to see how many people care about the seals,” Josiah said. Joshua and Josiah sent the petition via e-mail to San Diego Mayor Kevin Falcouner on April 15, and offered to assist the city to make it happen “as soon as possible.” The request seeks additional permanent signs to inform people they need to stay at a reasonable distance from the seals. With a passion for wildlife and conservation, the two homeschooled brothers said they started the website thinkconservation.worpress.com to support zoos, aquariums and marine parks that take responsible care of their animals. The full story of how and why they decided to help the harbor seals of La Jolla can be found there, along with knowledge about how to protect native fauna. Their mother helped them build the website, but the research is all theirs. An angle the two brothers didn’t explore in their online petition is that steering people away from the harbor seals is also a way to protect people from possible bites from the marine mammals. Children’s Pool beach is closed to the public until May 15, due to seal pupping season (December-May). To read the petition, visit change.org/p/additional-signs-needed-toprotect-the-la-jolla-seals

Marge was instrumental in starting the International Center for foreign students at UCSD, and her children remember how interesting it was to have students from africa, South america, asia and Europe living in the Hopkins home at different times over a period of many years. While living in Maine in the 1990s, Marge was involved with the outreach program at the First Congregational Church of Camden, including the Food Pantry, the SoS Room, and the start-up and initial days of the thrift shop, Heavenly Threads. In addition to her numerous volunteer activities, Marge always enjoyed working, particularly her job in the personnel department of PSa airlines in San Diego.

George was a student there. Marge made many close women friends, including the ‘birthday girls’, who remained lifelong friends. Marge’s friends have recalled that she was always ready with a warm smile, a kind word, and encouragement, and that she was helpful and supportive during difficult times. Marge was a 45 year member of the P.E.o. Sisterhood and her membership in chapter BB Rochester, New York was deeply meaningful and a great source of pleasure to her. Following George’s death in 2010, Marge lived at Quarry Hill in Camden and her family is grateful for the excellent care and support she received at The Courtyard there, as well as at Knox Center, where she has lived since September 2014. The support of Kno-Wal-Lin Hospice in recent months is also much appreciated.

La Jolla Meals On Wheels receives $500 grant La Jolla Meals On Wheels received a $500 grant from the San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization (CECO) to pay for low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, subsidized meals delivered by volunteers Monday-Friday to low-income seniors in need. Clients receive one hot meal (lunch) and one cold meal (dinner) daily, said Jane Semelsberger, program director. "We are extremely thankful for this very generous award," she added.

In addition to its senior nutrition program, La Jolla Meals On Wheels offers its Friendly Visitors Program at no charge to homebound seniors in its service area. Clients are matched with the most compatible volunteer visitors for one- to two-hour weekly visits.

FROM SIGNS, A4 confirmation of violation. From there, it is up to the availability of the officer. “We would prefer no sandwich boards at all, however, we understand that our merchants need them, so we’re trying to find a way to control it,” Marengo said. Still, some board members were unconvinced the change would be effective. Gail Forbes said, “I don’t see how these regulations will lead to any better enforcement than what we have now.” Joe Pitrofsky questioned whether the discussion of a regulations change was premature, due to a lack of information. “Often, when things come before us, I have a sense of how people feel about it. For example, I know people don’t like the smell at the Cove, or they don’t want paid on-street parking. But with this, I have no idea. Maybe there’s a strong feeling from the citizens or merchants of La Jolla one way or another, but I don’t know what that is.”
Steigler said after the PDO meeting, the discussion would go before La Jolla Community Planning Association for ratification, and those with opinions could express them there. LJCPA meets 6 p.m. Thursday, May 5 at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. After the LJCPA vote, the item would still need to be approved by the City Council. Should the change be approved, Marengo said LJVMA would do mass informational outreach and every eligible business would be given the opportunity to apply for a permit to have an A-frame sign. He opined that there would be an immediate decrease in sandwich boards. “You are going to get a certain amount of compliance from this simply from those who say, ‘oh shoot, I didn’t realize this was against the law.’ Plus there are those who will decide whether the fee (for an annual permit to have a sign) is worth it, and will assess whether such advertising is worth it. If they say the fee is not worth it, they will
remove the signs,” he said. Further, those who are eligible to place a sign would be limited to where it could be located in proximity to their business, and whether it impedes the pedestrian walkway. “I’m doing this because I think this is the way to do something to get them regulated. I don’t think I’m going to win the war of getting them removed altogether, but it’s something to push toward,” Marengo said. PDO member Michael Dershowitz, “It seems to me that we have a problem that has festered and gotten worse and worse over time and has gotten so out of hand that the city can’t enforce it, and the only way to remedy the problem is to the point that at least its better, would be this process.” The motion to approve the change passed 5-3-0. PDO meets 4 p.m. second Mondays at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

Bonnie Tarwater
Deborah Waitley
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN year ago La Jolla High School alumna Bonnie Tarwater stood in front of a huge orange, black and white snake that had taken over an entire community center. The animal bit her index finger, and it wouldn’t let go. Then, she woke up. Her interpretation of that dream pushed her into a new adventure: leading dream-sharing groups in San Diego. “The index finger has to do with authority,” said Tarwater. “I was bitten by the fact that I was to be a teacher and lead worship, study groups and meditation.” On Saturday, May 7, Tarwater
and Deborah Waitley (another La Jolla High alumna), will host a first-of-its-kind conference in La Jolla, “The Dreaming World: Creating Local and Global Dream Communities,” 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Congregational Church of La Jolla, 1216 Cave St. The goal of the event is to create a community of people who honor and share their dreams. But Tarwater and Waitley are two very different people. Tarwater is a minister who started out in the most liberal branches of the Protestant Church but ended up rebelling against institutionalization and hierarchy to create her own faith community, The Church For Our

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A seven-foot mutant, a blind pretty librarian, corruption, pollution, and rock ‘n’ roll are the main elements of the La Jolla High School (LJHS) PG13-rated spring musical. “The Toxic Avenger” premieres 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 22 with performances at the same time on April 23, 28 and 29 in the school’s Parker Auditorium, 750 Nautilus St. A special pay-what-you-can performance will be presented at 2:30 p.m. April 27. “We have some special tricks up our sleeve,” said director Marjorie Treger. “I teach the technical theater classes and we have been working really hard to create some special effects, make up and costumes, so I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.” More than 50 kids are
working on the production, including seven students who will play the live music of the show. “Good sound, rock music, nice and loud,” said Treger. David Bryan, keyboardist and founding member of the rock band Bon Jovi, wrote the play’s music and lyrics. The musical is based on a cult film from the 1980s that became a comic book and a cartoon series. The storyline is irreverent and covers contemporary topics such as global warming. In the end, it’s the ultimate superhero story where everything went wrong. Melvin Ferd the Third is an unlikely hero. He mutated after being dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste.

Dirt be not proud
I
La Jolla Cultural Partners
’m not the worst housekeeper in the world. But I am a contender. That said, I really do try to keep both clutter and dirt under control in my small garage-less house. I also have an alternate-week cleaning lady, so with the food-shedding goober-fingered grandtots in town only about monthly, the house really doesn’t get very dirty. Where my husband Olof and I disagree about housekeeping is the kitchen. Olof, I can assure you, would never have made it as a divorced working mother. For 12 years, I always seemed to have eight balls in the air between my job, carpooling, Cub Scouts, managing youth sports teams, and trying to keep my house and yard from descending into chaos and ruin. I can remember way too many nights when I fell asleep exhausted on top of the clean laundry piled on top of my bed, and way too many weeks when the dishes sat in the sink. There are only so many hours in a day. When Olof came into my life and was commuting down from the Bay Area on weekends in the years before we married, he would joke on Sunday nights as I was taking him to the airport that he was going to make an X in one of the dinner plates on the
kitchen counter to see if it was still there when he returned. Very funny, I said. Like I didn’t always make sure those Sunday dishes were done before I left for the airport on Friday. Life is all about priorities. The kids turned out well. So if the dishes got a little furry sometimes during warmer weather, so be it. That’s what the fur, er, superwash cycle on the dishwasher is for. Astonishingly, Olof married me anyway, since Olof is not a furry dishes kind of guy. Ah, the dishwasher. That is one area on which Olof and I will never see eye-to-eye. He took over the dishes when he retired two years ago. Though he’s too nice to say so out loud, I’ve sensed he’s never been all that happy with the job I did on the stove and counters and sink, which the dishwasher, maliciously, refuses to clean. (We can put people on the moon but someone can’t invent this?) The sound of dishes being done and I’m not doing them is music to my ears. But it makes me truly crazy that he spends at least a half hour doing the dishes just for the two of us. I always had that sucker loaded up in four minutes flat. When he’s done, the stovetop is spotless, the granite countertops positively

sparkle, and you could be blinded by the shine in our stainless steel sink. And then – listen to this – he sweeps the kitchen floor. Why, I asked him one night as he emptied the dustpan, would you do that when the cleaning lady is coming in another week? Olof held out the broom. “If you want, I could teach you how to use this,” he offered with an evil smile. For reasons known best to Olof, the dishes are so clean by the time they’re loaded, they probably don’t need to be run at all. Since I’m the dishwasher unloader, I couldn’t help but comment that if you can’t tell whether the dishes are clean or dirty, some of us could give them the benefit of the doubt. But worse, Olof runs the dishwasher half full. Now, to be fair, I think the Bosch people
would probably consider it correctly loaded. But seriously, I could have crammed three more days’ dishes in there, easy. (If you can see the bottom of the machine, you’re doing it wrong.) “Inga,” I have to remind, myself. “The man is DOING THE DISHES. If he wants to run it with two friggin’ forks, let him!” But even after two years, I truly feel that spending a half hour on kitchen cleanup is time that could be used far more wisely. Like reading “War and Peace” with a snifter of Laphroaig. Or in my case, “People” with a glass of chardonnay. Olof just isn’t getting it. —Ingas lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light. Reach her at Inga47@san.rr.com

FROM DREAMS, B1 met at a class reunion a few years ago and their common interest drew them together in this new enterprise. As Waitley explained it, “There are a lot of people out there who just do dream analysis or interpretation. This process goes much deeper than that.” During their dream-sharing sessions, people verbalize their dreams in very deep detail. Then, the rest of the group asks questions about the dream that will guide the dreamer to realize its inner meaning. “Inner meanings relate to challenges you might be having in your life and may give you some specific revelation or actions to take that can better yourself, lead to deeper personal growth,” she said. Added Tarwater, “Dream group is we drink tea and we share dreams.”
A Bit of History
Dream theory in psychology started with Sigmund Freud in the second half of the 19th century. However, humans have wondered about their dreams since ancient ages. “This is an ancient spiritual practice whose time has come back,” said Tarwater. “The indigenous people of the world have known intuitively that dreams are divine as they come in the deepest part of the god within us.” Some branches of modern psychology have challenged the
MARIA JOSE DURAN
Deborah Waitley and Bonnie Tarwater Freud-based idea that dreams are initiated in the unconscious. From a neuropsychological point of view, dreams are a reflection of things that happen in everyday life. The La Jolla Light contacted Tim Rickard, a Psychology of Sleep professor at UCSD, for a second opinion on the topic. “Theory says (dreams) are not really driven necessarily by unconscious sexual aggressive impulses, they may have some emotional content, but they are
not necessarily an expression of the unconscious in any systematical way,” Rickard said. Waitley doesn’t agree with this notion. “There are a number of theories out there that say dreams are basically a brain damp of things that you have gone through during the day and there’s no inner meaning to them,” she said. “But dreams live in part of you that’s not in your conscious awareness. That’s why most people, when they wake up, immediately forget their
dreams because they go back to that realm that you don’t have access to.”
Can dreams save the planet?
The May 7 conference will include a Stephen Aizenstat workshop. Aizenstat is an international authority in dream theory. He’s the founder of Pacifica Graduate Institute, an accredited university near Santa Barbara that cover the fields of clinical
psychology, counseling, mythological studies and the humanities. Aizenstat’s dream theories go even deeper. He believes that by studying the meaning of our dreams and the symbols in them, we can save the planet. “Many of us have this feeling that the Earth has always been speaking to us in our dreams,” Tarwater said. The night of May 6, Aizenstat will lead a dream incubation ceremony with a bonfire and a sing-along from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at La Jolla Shores beach. Waitley said she believes that La Jolla is the perfect place for a dreaming community to flourish. “La Jolla has so much physical beauty, it’s all around us, we tend to think that’s enough in our lives,” she said, encouraging La Jollans to attend the conference because “our dreams are jewels that can illuminate bring this tremendous amount of beauty and illumination to our lives.” ■ IF YOU GO: The Dreaming World: Creating Local and Global Dream Communities, conference is 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 7 at the Congregational Church of La Jolla, 1216 Cave St. Tickets at asdreams.org/regionals/ are $85 for members of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (AISD), $95 non-members, student members $60 and student non-members $70.

This year, we wanted to do something that was the total opposite of that to give kids different opportunities to explore big
characters in a very contemporary show.” La Jolla High is one of the first schools in the nation to perform this show. “The Toxic Avenger” rights became available last year. The play was first performed in New Jersey in 2008 and since has gone to Broadway, Toronto, Texas and Hawaii.

Methodist Church works to stop world hunger
Volunteers pack non-perishable food items to ship to countries in need.
BY SANDY COLLER La Jolla United Methodist Church hosted a meal packaging event for Stop Hunger Now, from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 17. More than 160 volunteers — from La Jolla, San Dieguito, Abundant Life/Korean and Pacific Beach United Methodist Churches and Scout Troop 506 and Venture Crew 506 — packaged more than 30,000 meals to be sent to developing countries. The event was one of many that have taken place over a wide geographical area that occur at a Stop Hunger Now warehouse
or at the volunteers’ location through a mobile operation that delivers ingredients and supplies. Volunteers worked in teams at each packaging station. The assembly process combined rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a packet containing 23 essential vitamins and minerals into small meal packages, which were then boxed and stacked on pallets to be loaded along with the equipment back on to the truck. The meals are shipped throughout the world to support school feeding programs,

orphanages, and crisis relief. The food can be stored easily, transported quickly, and has a shelf-life of two years. The meals are distributed through feeding programs operated by partner organizations in developing countries that promote education, encourage children to attend school, improve students’ health and nutrition, address gender inequalities, stimulate economic growth, fight child labor, and are part of the movement to address global issues. Stop Hunger Now gets food and life-saving aid to the world’s most vulnerable people, and works to end global hunger in our lifetime. Established in 1998, the organization has provided over 225 million meals in 73 countries. Mission of Hope in Haiti is just one of the many schools that provide Stop Hunger Now’s meals for its school feeding program. After a year of documenting the difference it makes to feed a child at school, Mission of Hope had exciting statistics to share. The average weight gain for children outside the school not receiving the free lunch is five pounds per year while children at Mission of Hope have an average weight gain of 10 pounds per year. The grade point average of children receiving meals is also double that of children not being fed at school. These four United Methodist churches have made a difference in thousands of children’s lives through their two hour effort that Sunday. For more details, visit stophungernow.org

Museum’s annual ‘Art Alive’ about to burst into bloom T
FROM MUSEUM REPORTS he San Diego Museum of Art is about to welcome two big exhibitions — the 35th annual “Art Alive” floral exhibition and “Brush & Ink: Chinese Paintings from The San Diego Museum of Art Selected by Pan Gongkai,” which features some 40 works from the museum's collection of more than 200 Chinese paintings. 1) “Art Alive” (April 29-May 1) is the museum's signature fundraiser that brings in floral designers who use natural elements to create stunning takes on the museum's paintings, sculpture and contemporary art, so fresh flowers (and scents!) fill the museum for three days of celebrations, festivals and workshops. Jim Lennox and Ben Lucero of Pacific Event Productions will transform the rotunda into a lush floral design and art experience reflective of the museum's Asian art collection, encompassing the creativity, emotion, and powerful energy embodied by the element of fire. 2) “Brush & Ink” (April 29-Sept. 4) was curated by acclaimed contemporary Chinese artist Gongkai, who selected the
works based on his personal history, experiences and dedication to the medium of ink painting. The exhibit showcases the evolution of brush and ink painting from the 15th century to the present day, with works that include hand scrolls, hanging scrolls and fans. Ink painting has a centuries-long history in China that endured many cultural shifts, including a period when the art form was suppressed due to political turmoil. ■ IF YOU GO: Floral show 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 29-May 1, tickets $20. Related events: Bloom Bash, 7 p.m. to midnight, Friday, April 29 with food, cocktails, music and dancing, tickets $200 members, $250 nonmembers. Garden of Activities, noon to 4 p.m. April 30-May 1, museum-wide flower hunt, children’s reading area and floral-themed projects for families, free with exhibition admission.

HUNT SLONEM
WHEN ART MEETS DESIGN Exhibition Dates: May 7th – June 11th, 2016 Opening Reception and Book Signing: Saturday, May 7th, 2016 • 6-8pm
M
adison Gallery presents Hunt Slonem’s third solo exhibition, When Art Meets Design. Arguably one of the most fascinating artists of our time, Slonem has remained a representational and expressionist artist even during conceptualism’s dominance. He is one of the few contemporary artists that have remained true to himself and his style. When Art Meets Design celebrates Slonem’s approach to color and defined aesthetics with new selected artworks featuring Slonem’s popular series of bunnies, butterflies, birds and new landscapes. The opening reception will feature a book signing by the artist of his recent publication When Art Meets Design. The book celebrates Slonem’s fascination with collecting and design. As the artist says “to create decoratively is to live decoratively.” Since 1977, Hunt Slonem has had more than 350 exhibitions at prestigious galleries and museums internationally. His work is exhibited globally, in cities including Madras, Quito, Venice,
Gustavia, San Juan, Guatemala City, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Stockholm, Oslo, Cologne, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Slonem’s work is in over eighty museum collections worldwide, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, and Kansas City’s own Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. He is highly collected by artists and celebrities alike like Yoko Ono, Jimmy Fallon, Sharon Stone, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz and Mary Tyler Moore, among others. Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California.

‘Great Scott!’ Comedy, drama join forces at San Diego Opera BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ow many operas can you think of that have been called “hilarious, endearing, sophisticated and profound”? Starting May 7, San Diego Opera, in partnership with the Dallas Opera, will present the West Coast premiere of one of those happy few — “Great Scott,” a thoroughly modern opera about a diva, a faltering small-town opera company and football. The prolific composer, Jake Heggie, lists eight pages of operas, song cycles, chamber and orchestral works on his website, including the whale-scale opera “Moby Dick,” which had its West Coast premiere here in 2012. And “Great Scott” has a libretto by acclaimed writer Terrence McNally, who was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame 20 years ago for his contributions to the Broadway stage. Besides a Tony Award for “Master Class,” his play about the ultimate opera diva, Maria Callas, he also won “Best Book for a Musical,” Tonys for “Ragtime” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” and did the libretto for Heggie’s first opera, “Dead Man Walking.” The third man behind “Great Scott” is director Jack O’Brien, well-known in these parts as Artistic Director of the Old Globe Theatre from 1981 to 2007, and a three-time Tony-winner himself. Together, this trio has crafted a production well worth seeing and hearing, with more comic lines than most librettos could ever imagine. How did Great Scott come into being? “After Moby Dick, I was asked to do another

A scene from ‘Great Scott,’ coming to San Diego Opera May 7. opera for the Dallas Opera,” Heggie said in a recent interview. “I wanted to write something for the great mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, and I wanted to work with Terrence McNally again, so I said yes, and Terrence said, ‘Let’s be really bold. Let’s do something with comedy and drama.’ Usually it’s one or the other, but he came up with the story and right from the start, I was swept in. “It’s very contemporary, bringing up the questions we ask ourselves about the sacrifices we make for our careers: Was it worth it? Does my contribution matter? Does my presence make a difference in the world?” The San Diego production includes four cast members from last year’s world premiere in Dallas, plus four additions. “So it’s 50 percent
the people we wrote it for and 50 percent new people, which is very exciting,” Heggie said. “In opera, we don’t get to do previews; it’s just shot out of a cannon opening night. Now we’ll get a chance to hear it with new voices, and fresh ears. I haven’t worked with Kate Aldrich before, but she’s a real star, and it will be a completely different interpretation.” Fifteen minutes have already been cut from the Dallas version, and more changes may be made during rehearsals, which began April 18. “We get a two and a half week rehearsal period for a very big show — that’s our world,” Heggie said. “So it’s not easy to make changes. But that’s why you work with the best people around.” “Great Scott” asks the question: does opera
The trio behind the opera — director Jack O’Brien, composer Jake Heggie and librettist Terrence McNally. matter? And both Dallas and San Diego know something about struggling opera companies, and caring enough to step up and fight for their continued existence. “Opera does matter,” said Heggie. “People are glued to their flat screens; they need to go out and experience something alive. And opera only exists when it’s being performed; the final character is the audience. I can’t wait to see what happens in San Diego!” Next up for Heggie: An opera-based on the classic Christmas film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” opening in Houston in December. Right now, it’s Scott-time in San Diego, and you can be the final character in the West Coast premiere. ■ IF YOU GO: “Great Scott” takes the stage 7 p.m. May 7, 10 and 13, and 2 p.m. May 15 at San Diego Opera, Civic Theatre, 1100 3rd Ave. Tickets: (619) 533-7000. sdopera.com

Back row: Max Macke (deputy, scruffy man, doctor), John Herzog (warden, man, captain), Geno Carr (cotton farmer, lame man, Cajun, Mr. Allen) and Benjamin Cole (Tommy). Front row: Richard Baird (Aikins), Sara Fetgatter (Ellie) and Robert Grossman (Ike), star in Edward Morgan’s adaptation of William Faulkner’s ‘Old Man,’ ‘Way Downriver’ through May 8 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre.
‘Way Downriver’ downright incredible
N
ational disasters seem to be on the rise. Nightly newscasts feature tornadoes, typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, raging storms and floods. “Way Downriver,” Edward Morgan’s adaptation of William Faulkner’s play “Old Man,” is centered on one such disaster — the record-breaking great Mississippi flood of 1927. The story unfolds onstage at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT) through May 8. First to draw acclaim is NCRT’s resident scenic designer Marty Burnett for his amazing set design, that starts off in a Mississippi jail cell with three inmates. Aikins (Richard Baird) has just returned to this cell after escaping and presumed dead. He paces the cell as he is badgered by questions from young Tommy (Benjamin Cole), who is fascinated by Aikins’ bravery at trying such a thing, and he wants to know every detail. Ike (Robert Grossman), an older man glued to his guitar, sometimes answers the question for Aikins, as if he has had an eye on the tough guy for a long time. Aikins begins to tell his inmates the long story of what happened to him. He describes how he had to save a pregnant woman (Sara Fetgatter), and survive his capsized boat as the river rolled everything from one side to another and also changed flow direction.
David Ellenstein’s clever direction artfully details the many elements of this story, which are surprising, sometimes funny, and a pure pleasure to see so well developed by the wonderfully skilled cast. Cole’s youthful yearning to hear about Aikins’ adventures is amusing. Grossman’s role is very unique as he often fills in the words of Aikins’ story, or offers an amusing comment to Tommy about a situation. Grossman is responsible for many of the laughs in this play. Fetgatter easily transforms Ellie’s personalities from a desperate, but strong, mother about to lose her unborn baby to a soft and caring woman who offers Aikins advice and motivates him with her praise. Baird, a veteran of many NCRT productions, can play any character and gives a tour-de-force performance as Aikins. He alters his physicality going from a down-trodden inmate, to a man struggling to amend his deeds, to a recovering soul who knows what he must do when challenged. “Way Downriver” hits high scores on every level, and is one of the best shows of this season. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘Way Downriver,’ runs through May 8 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $43. (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org

BY DIANA SAENGER here are many wonderful things about theatrical productions — playwrights can see their ideas, strange or common, come to life; directors can identify with the theme of a play and have a hand in its exposure; actors can stretch their talents in new directions; creative teams can come together to highlight a story that will charm or escape an audience’s praise. Nick Payne’s “Constellations” at The Old Globe is an example of this fine art. Marianne (Victoria Frings) and Roland (Christian Coulson) meet at a barbecue and began a conversation. He is a beekeeper, she a theoretical physicist. She approaches him and asks as a conversation-starter if he knows why it’s impossible to lick the tips of your elbows. Roland looks at her as if he can’t get away fast enough and says, “I’m in a relationship.” Strangely, after a few moments, the stage lights go dim, they switch places, and then repeat their same conversation. One wonders if perhaps they didn’t perform properly. But then the same thing happens again and each time their dialogue and answers change. They talk about their careers, and Marianne finds Roland’s beekeeping interesting. Yet as she makes conversation, she twitches with strange arm and hand movements. Their conversation covers many elements of their situations with
T
short simple statements. She also utters random comments out of nowhere — like asking him if he wants to come to her house — he does, and within minutes she begs him to leave. Roland is confused and they debate what really is going on. Marianne explains she spends a lot of time analyzing data. He turns the conversation to wanting to spend the night while she talks about String Theory. Roland apparently has one too many drinks. He likes listening to Marianne and tells her that her Quantum Multiverse explanation turns him on. Time seems to jump and the couple is together with Marianne revealing she has a grave illness. She talks about her recently deceased mother and reveals some admissions to Roland that really upset him. It’s not long before he also has confessions to make. Payne’s play is complex in many ways. Comments from playgoers varied. Some thought it brilliant, others boring and vain, and still others remarked about its ongoing use of profanity. That’s why playgoers are lucky to have theaters like The Old Globe that bring a wide variety of entertainment to audiences and is not timid about going beyond the norm. ■ IF YOU GO: “Constellations,” runs through May 8 at the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

La Jollan stars as ‘Billy Elliot’ with siblings also in the cast BY ASHLEY MACKIN When the California Youth Conservancy Theatre production of Billy Elliot takes the stage at Lyceum Theater May 28 to June 5, La Jolla’s own Luke Garbacz will hold the title role. And he’s not the only one from the Garbacz household in the musical, as brother Matthew and sister Juliet also have parts. Although Luke has had prominent roles in youth productions of “Into the Woods,” “Les Miserables” and “Aladdin” at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, this is his first title role, which he shares with young actor Aaron Schueler — an honor that is not lost on the 12-year-old Creative Performing and Media Arts student. “The most challenging part was the huge responsibility that comes from being the title character, how many lines I have to memorize and how hard I have to work,” he said. “They are really hard, but at the same time it makes going to rehearsal every day and doing the show much more exciting.” Luke Adding to the excitement is the fact that Luke Garbacz has seen several incarnations of the production, and loves them all. “A few years ago, I saw the show when it came to the San Diego Civic Center and I also watched the movie, and studied that. So before I even went for the show, it was one of my favorites,” he said. “The music, the historical aspects and the dancing are amazing.” Set in an English mining town, around the 1984 miners strike, the story surrounds a young boy who discovers dance, and the struggles he faces to follow his passion. With music by Elton John, the production is based on the 2000 film of the same name and was first staged in 2005. To prepare for the role, Luke said he re-watched the movie, practiced tap and ballet like he never has before and watched “everything I could find on YouTube” to get a complete understanding of the character. The role incorporates much more dance than other roles Luke has held, and he said the most rewarding part of rehearsals has been successfully executing the choreography. “There have been

At that moment, I feel like I’m on top of the world,” he said. For sister Juliet, who has more ballet experience and plays one of the ballet girls, the dance scenes have presented a unique challenge – being a bad dancer when she is actually good. In her role, she
“doesn't know what she's doing and makes crazy faces, is silly, and sticks her butt out.” But as a diligent student at City Ballet who focuses on perfect form, Juliet said, “I can’t do those things!” But thankfully, she has her brothers to ease her nerves on stage. “They make me feel comfortable when it gets tough,” she said. For brother Matthew, who plays Michael, while the dancing is fun, its all about the music. “Elton John is my favorite musician and my favorite thing about ‘Billy Elliot’ is dancing and singing to his music,” he said, noting the family has tickets to see Elton John in Las Vegas at the end of April, and they hope to meet him. In addition to his brother and sister, Luke said it has been a joy to work with the other actors in show, specifically director Shaun Evans and actress Leigh Scarritt. The musical has also given Luke the chance to prove his emotional range. “Compared to other roles, this one has a lot more emotional highs and lows,” he said. “At one point, Billy’s really angry and sad, then at another point, I get to be super silly. So that’s different for me.” But the rigorous rehearsals have given Luke lots of time to practice. Director Evans said what makes the California Youth Conservancy different is the fact that all the actors in the 40-person cast (including the 18 young people) are expected to take the production seriously. “We cater to kids who are career-minded in terms of the performing arts and they’re treated like working adults. Every one wants to be here and have identified performing arts as something they want to pursue more than as a hobby. For them, performing is not a recreational thing and it shows,” he said. The cast, he said, “is fantastic and the dancing is fabulous.” Of Luke in particular, he said from the moment he opened his mouth to sing, “I said to myself, ‘there you go, we have our Billy.’ Luke has a phenomenal voice and he’s a good dancer ... and he looks like a movie star already.” Joining the Garbacz children in the show are other La Jollans: Julia Van Skike, Isabella Walther-Meade and Lauren Muehl. ■ IF YOU GO: CYCT’s “Billy Elliot” is on stage May 28-June 5 at Lyceum Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego.

Vegan Chili
Honor Earth Day: Waste Not, Want Not ‘Opie, you haven’t finished your milk. We can’t put it back in the cow, you know.” —Aunt Bee Taylor, “The Andy Griffith Show”
M
uch like Opie, I was a wasteful child, my mother constantly reminding me that “my eyes were bigger than my stomach,” and I should only take as much food on my plate as I could eat. Today, I try my best to conserve, preserve and recycle as I kick up my sustainable heels and shrink my carbon footprint. With Earth Day celebrated globally on April 22 here’s a primer to help you enjoy more of our planet’s bounty, and waste less. Mulch Madness: Instead of tossing biodegradable wastes into the trash, pile them into a well-aerated, lidded compost bin. A mixture of coffee grounds and tea bags, citrus and melon rinds, apple cores, egg shells, cardboard scraps, leaves and old flowers will eventually decompose into a rich, organic mulch or humus to feed your garden beds with homemade, nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Certain items are persona non grata in the composting bin, such as, dairy products that might attract pests, breads, pastas, table scraps, bones and nuts that don’t easily decompose, along with anything plastic. The Time is Ripe: Some fruits and
vegetables can be salvaged even though they are soft, wilted, and unappealingly discolored. In fact, certain ripe fruits make the best treats (banana breads, peach cobblers, apple strudels, poached pears), the creamiest smoothies (mangoes, guavas, papayas), and the sweetest preserves (strawberries, blueberries). While vegetables past their salad days can still enhance assorted dishes. Very vine-ripened tomatoes make refreshing gazpachos, rich marinara sauces and cioppino stews; spongy carrots and soggy celery are still fine in soups and casseroles, while mushy avocadoes make divine guacamole. ‘Tis the Season: Buy seasonal and local (if possible, organic, too), that’s healthier for you, your wallet, and the community. These not only have fewer pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, but a smaller carbon footprint since they are not road- or jet-lagged. Best seasonal picks for April and May are asparagus, broccolini, new potatoes, radishes, spring onions, avocados, rhubarb, strawberries, and blood oranges, while best catches include mackerel, trout, Dover sole, cod and crab. Stay Thirsty, My Friend: Despite the recent El Niño effect, California is still desert dry as we enter the fourth year of a severe drought. Become an intrepid landscaper by cultivating “green” gardening techniques —
From the kitchen of Herringbone, La Jolla; a rustic, hearty vegan chili that’ll warm the cockles of your heart. Serves 6. ■ Ingredients: 2 ounces tomato paste (high quality); 8 cups spring water; 4 cloves garlic, peeled, chopped; 1/2 pound yellow or white onion, chopped; 1/2 pound carrots, chopped; 1/2 pound celery, chopped; 1/4 pound white or yellow corn, kernels; 1/4 pound red or yellow bell pepper, chopped; 1/4 pound yam or sweet potato, chopped; 1/2 pound roasted green chile, peeled, chopped; 1/4 pound dry lentils (any color); 1 tablespoon cumin; 1 tablespoon coriander; 1 tablespoon paprika; 1 tablespoon cayenne; 1/2 cup red wine; 1/2 cup olive oil. Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste. ■ Method: Sweat vegetables together,
enliven your outdoor space with water-conserving, native plants and pesticide-free edibles. Start with a fragrant Mediterranean herb garden of basil, thyme, rosemary and Italian parsley, along with fruit trees and veggie gardens suitable for California climes (heirloom tomatoes, avocados, apricots, low-chill apples and figs). For apartment dwellers, plant a windowsill garden and dwarf Meyer lemons that thrive indoors. Be a Bag Lady (or Man): Environmentally friendly eco-totes are flying
except garlic, in a large saucepot with oil over medium-low heat until translucent. Add tomato paste, garlic, spices and wine. Simmer until alcohol is evaporated from wine. Add water and simmer over low heat 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lentils at the end, and simmer until lentils are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. —For other earthy recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
off the shelves faster than you can say “paper or plastic?” In this country 88 billion plastic bags made of non-renewable petroleum are consumed yearly. Some of these troublemakers suffocate birds, choke sea critters and take a century to decompose. While paper bags produce heaps of solid waste, and require more energy to recycle than plastic. Invest in reusable cotton totes, some insulated and waterproof that also keep perishables from spoiling. And don’t be caught bagless in municipalities around town where plastic ones have been banned.

San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263
The Myth of the Home Remedy Vein Cure Many people go out of their way to avoid surgery or other invasive treatment, which is understandable. For some, there is a genuine squeamishness when it comes to needles and the potential for any level of pain. Then there are those who are wary of the time or financial commitment involved in surgical and non-surgical procedures, with added time for recovery. Others yet have a mistrust of traditional or western medicine, preferring the homeopathic approach, favoring herbs, poultices, and essential oils. Thousands of dollars can
be spend each year just by one person on supplements and home remedies—even in the case of varicose and spider veins. There are popular searches on the internet for “Get rid of varicose veins naturally” and “How to get rid of varicose veins at home.” There are certainly plenty of results for supplements and remedies to “melt away your symptoms.” Millions of dollars, in fact, are spent a year, both on personal online retailers and at general nutrition stores, on supplements and creams that have no proven medical effects, have not been approved by the FDA, and in some cases can be hazardous to your health. Supplements are an unregulated industry—and because of the fact that 50% of people will develop varicose or spider veins in their lifetime, and many of those will seek home remedies, millions of dollars will continue to be spent on just vein remedies alone. It won’t matter if they are proven to be effective or not because people will continue to buy them, companies will continue to make and sell them for a profit, and until the companies
are forced into regulation, new consumers will continue to pay up, seeking magic potions and snake oils. It is generally a good thing when people make choices toward an active lifestyle and healthy living, including organic eating and avoiding unhealthful habits, especially with diet. In my columns, I’m an active proponent on doing whatever you can to prevent the conditions for varicose and spider veins to proliferate. But the truth is that some people are genetically predisposed to the condition, and there is no 100% proven prevention for any venous condition. And once you develop this condition, no home remedy will make them go away. Pine bark, witch hazel, grapeseed oil, cayenne pepper, immersion baths, green tea, chestnut bark, St. John’s wort, aloe vera, butcher’s broom, arnica Montana, and even turpentine and enemas have all been cited as cures for varicose veins—but they do not work. Any “improvements” noted from home remedies are a result of the placebo effect.
Topical creams and ointments are a waste of money as well, and even exercise is not a cure (although don’t give up on exercise!). I know people’s fears of procedures are real. And for those whose mothers had the old fashioned vein treatments, those fears are not unfounded. But vein therapy has become much less invasive than the outdated veins stripping of years past. All but the most severe treatment is a quick office visit that is so simple and non-traumatizing that it can be done on a work lunch break. Laser treatment and foam sclerotherapy are stateof-the-art treatments that, for some, involve almost no pain at all. Varicose veins are a medical condition, and if left untreated, can become something very serious indeed. You do not want to jeopardize your health. But it is good to be informed about your options. Speaking to a medical professional such as a phlebologist can answer many of your questions and put you at ease about treating your vein disease the right way.

Bishop’s School to present sketch comedy show Bishop’s School seniors Matthew Kerr and Perry Falk created an original sketch comedy show called “Twelve Angry Thespians,” which will be shown 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 27 and 7 p.m. Thursday, April 28 and Friday, April 29 in the Black Box Theatre on the school campus, 7607 La Jolla Blvd. Theater-goers can expect Perry Falk several filmed and performed pieces featuring 12 students who aren’t afraid to “embrace ridiculousness.” During the show, the audience will view a collection of sketches, which make fun of irritating characters like bad improv actors and pretentious individuals. “My main goal is to make people in the audience think, ‘Oh god, I've totally been that annoying character before,’ Kerr said. “Comedy is frequently strongest when its characters are absurd, yet relatable.” The pair said they got the idea for “Twelve Angry Thespians” Matthew Kerr after last year’s comedy show, “Behind the Polyester Curtain.” They wanted to continue the tradition of having a fun, stress-free show for people to perform. This year’s show is darker than last year’s, and pushes the actors outside their comfort zones. After graduation, Kerr said he plans to continue performing forms of comedy while studying film and television at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. Falk said he too, plans to continue acting and exploring comedy as a student at Yale University. For ticket information, call (858) 875-0728
