Merchant survey produces no ‘best’ time span BY ASHLEY MACKIN A series of parking and no-parking/street-closure topics came before La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory board (T&T) during its April 20 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. Among them: The results from a survey on the various parking time limits in the Village, reconfiguration of parking on Coast Walk, two events that require street closures, and the city-required signage for events requiring street closures.

Formed in August 2015 to address the inconsistent and confusing parking time limits throughout La Jolla, a T&T subcommittee headed by Tom Brady subsequently circulated a petition among merchants to see if a change to uniform parking times might be in order. Ninety-four businesses on Fay Avenue were polled to see if they favored a parking time limit of up to 90 minutes, a time limit of two hours, or were unaffected by the varying block-by-block time limits. But only 32 businesses responded, and the results were close, so the subcommittee felt they did not get a clear picture of what merchants wanted. Further, board members gave each business one vote, whether it was a hotel or a hair salon, and later realized something weighted might have been more appropriate. “We wanted to see if we could come to a consensus as a subcommittee and present a recommendation on parking SEE PARKING LIMITS, A12

Speed limit changes, traffic calming, draw crowd to T&T meeting BY ASHLEY MACKIN A petition may soon be coming around to residents along Soledad Mountain Road to determine the consensus on the speed limit between Soledad Road and Pacifica Drive. The City of San Diego is recommending the speed limit be increased on that stretch from 35 miles-per-hour to 40 miles-per-hour, but residents have come forward hoping that doesn’t come to fruition, due to already overly speedy drivers. The city recommendation was brought to La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (T&T) advisory group and approved at its January meeting, but before the findings could be

Concerned citizens turn out for the La Jolla Traffic & Transportation April 20 meeting, many for the speed limit increase discussion. ratified at February’s La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meeting, the topic was pulled for further review, and ultimately sent back to T&T. At T&T’s April 20 meeting, area

residents packed the Rec Center to share horror stories of lead-footed La Jollans and commuters coming up their street, causing near-misses and fears of crossing the street, and it was obvious residents wanted the speed

limit kept at 35 mph. T&T chair Dave Abrams explained to the crowd that the city conducts speed studies on a rotation basis throughout San Diego, and if findings determine 85 percent of drivers are going above the posted speed limit, the speed limit is changed to reflect what the majority of drivers deem a safe speed. Should residents request the current speed limit remain, the police would not be able to use radar enforcement. Acknowledging that increasing the speed limit to create a safe driving environment seems “counter-intuitive,” T&T member Patrick Ryan added, “The reason the SEE TRAFFIC, A25

CRIME & PUBLIC SAFETY REPORT Suspect arrested in on-street robbery A 22-year-old male was arrested for a robbery that was reported 7:10 a.m. April 21 on the 1100 block of Torrey Pines Road. He did not use a weapon. According to San Diego Police, the suspect tried to take a bicycle in front of the Come On In Bakery. He engaged in a physical struggle with the bike owner. The victim suffered minor injuries and was able to keep the bicycle.

Accused burglar to stand trial A man accused of burglarizing several homes in mostly gated La Jolla communities over a three-month period must stand trial on seven felony charges, a judge ruled Monday. Louis Swanson, 58, faces more than 30 years in state prison if convicted, said Deputy District Attorney Jim Koerber. Judge Joan Weber ruled that enough evidence was presented for Swanson to stand trial June 14 on five counts of burglary and two counts of attempted burglary. Witness Richard Gibbs identified Swanson as the man who rang his doorbell on Feb. 28 and asked to speak to a person the resident had never heard of. Gibbs and his wife realized a few days later that they had been robbed that night, according to

Hillel project receives $5 million donation Gift kickoffs capital campaign, EIR is still under city review

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The long-debated and oft-rejected Hillel Center for Jewish Life project received a $5 million donation this month from Joseph “Chickie” Glickman, which will serve as the lead gift in a capital campaign to build the proposed center. Planned for a triangular parcel of land at La Jolla Village Drive at Torrey Pines Road, the project would be named the Beverly and Joseph Glickman Hillel Center and has been discussed at La Jolla’s community groups for more than a decade. The building proposed would serve as a “center for Jewish life and Jewish students at UCSD,” said Hillel Executive Director Michel Rabkin. “It’s an off-campus center for small group meetings, pastoral counseling, holiday celebrations, prayer services and a place for cultural exploration. It’s a drop-in center where professional staff will work with students on a

Plans are currently being reviewed at the city level, and the process includes the challenging and contentious Environmental Impact Review (EIR). “Money is always a factor in making sure you can build a facility. (And this gift00 is) just a beginning to the campaign, but a

strong beginning. It’s a strong vote of confidence … to get a gift of this magnitude,” Rabkin said. “It gives us a real boost of energy to finalize the EIR with the city.” During multiple reviews and revisions to the EIR, La Jolla’s community planning groups voiced consistent objection to the project, largely due to the prospect of a public facility in a single-family residential zone. In one of its most recent reviews in February 2014, La

Jolla’s Community Planning Association re-committed to its March 2013 position against the project, incorporating notes from La Jolla’s Permit Review Committee (PRC) on the EIR. PRC notes included: The EIR used an attendance limit of 50 persons for a noise analysis, though the proposed building has an occupancy limit far greater; the Hillel Center would increase traffic in the area; onsite parking is inadequate for both a

Changing Interests of Home Buyers throughout the Decades In the 1970’s buyers craved appliances in funky colors like avocado and harvest gold. In the 1960’s the average home size was 1,200 sq. foot. In the 1980’s the average number of televisions per household was 1.5 .and in 2010 the average television per household jumped to 2.93%. Today’s buyers seek homes with flexible spaces. They like great rooms that combine kitchen, living and dining areas. Outdoor living areas are very important for entertaining and enjoying our weather. What will the next decade bring us?

religious use and for a student center that could hold as many as 100 to 150 people; and more. Focusing on the parking concerns, attorney Julie Hamilton told La Jolla Light that if the facility will be used as a religious facility, the parking plan would need to reflect city standards. “The primary concern is that the religious center is being placed in single-family residential zone and … if they build the facility according to code, the minimum number of spaces they would need to provide would be 47 spaces and Hillel is proposing (less than that) and taking away on-street parking. So not only are they not meeting parking requirements, they are taking away parking from an area that is heavily impacted.” The Light later learned that 33 parking spaces, including ones for motorcycles and a van, are proposed. Hamiliton noted that the land on which the facility is proposed is considered “undevelopable because access is so difficult,” and that the center would be “out of scale and character” with the area. “It would be like having a church or a student center across from your house,” she SEE HILLEL, A17

Permitters reaffirm vote on Zephyr Project Victory for large home planned in Muirlands

BY ASHLEY MACKIN The bulk and scale of the proposed Zephyr Project in the Muirlands came under heated discussion during the April 19 Development Permit Review committee (DPR) meeting at the Rec Center. At issue was how plans for a 8,885-square foot, two-story residence with attached garage and a 703-square-foot guesthouse at 921 Muirlands Drive fit in with the size of surrounding homes and whether that size conformed with the La Jolla Community Plan. First discussed by DPR in January and February — and approved in March — the Zephyr Project was pulled for review at La Jolla Community Planning Association’s April meeting and sent back to DPR for more discussion. At the LJCPA meeting, residents Ruben Islas and John Dyer said the development abuts their properties and would be significantly larger than their homes. As DPR and LJCPA member Jim Ragsdale explained to the board, “At the LJCPA meeting, the level of concern by the neighbors took me and the applicants by surprise. Their primary issues were the lack of public notification and the size of this

project.” In the re-presentation to DPR, project applicants Mike Lake and Mandy Miller said in the months leading up to the April 19 meeting, they met with “a couple of homeowners,” and their questions were handled one-on-one. “One of the concerns is the proximity between their house and ours,” Lake said, “and I’ve volunteered to screen the area with plant material and upsize it to something mature, so it will grow taller and thicker.” Miller added, “Our biggest hope is that the focus (of this discussion) is on the code and understanding that we are following all of the code requirements for this project.” DPR chair Paul Benton attempted to set the record straight by stating, “Our mission is the land development code … it is a requirement that we find whether the proposed property will be consistent with the neighborhood in terms of bulk and scale, materials and design elements. In previous discussions, we found it had very good setbacks in relation to the property, and this committee recommended approval. So the question now before this committee is, with the project largely unchanged from previous presentations, whether it still conforms to the community plan.” Although notification issues are not within the DPR purview, residents explained they were not properly notified that the project would be built, nor did they have any idea how large it would be until story

poles went up to mark the height at various points. The project’s Floor-Area Ratio (FAR) is .37 where .45 is allowed. Further, the zone in which the Zephyr Project is located has residential lots generally larger than the ones next to it, with Lake reminding the DPR committee that there are 10,000-square-foot lots next to 20,000 (or more) square-foot lots (in town). One of those living on a smaller lot is Dyer, who spoke at both the LJCPA and the DPR meetings. Dyer said he reviewed the La Jolla Community Plan, and referencing it, he read, “One of the goals is maintain the character of residential areas by ensuring that redevelopment occurs in a manner that protects natural features, preserves existing streetscape and allows a harmonious visual relationship to exist between the bulk and scale of new and older structures. For large lots … apply development regulations that limit the perceived bulk and scale differences relative to surrounding lots.” However, based on features such as FAR, setbacks, height limitations and design features, the DPR committee found the project did comply with the La Jolla Community Plan, and member Matthew Welsh noted that based on what is allowable in the area, “they could have actually built this much bigger.” Lamenting that their hands were tied and there was no “transition zone” to ease between small developments and larger

ones, DPR member Mike Costello commented, “I moved here from north Pacific Beach 25 years ago and … there has never been a time when someone hasn’t torn down a house and built one three times bigger. I hear your pain and know your pain; we’ve experienced it and see it all the time. But you had a right to build your house and they have the right to build theirs. There is not much we can do.” In conclusion Benton advised those present, “There is nobody who tears down an existing house and builds a smaller one. There is nobody who buys a vacant lot and doesn’t put a house on it. This is the way it works and this is the world we live in.” A motion to reaffirm the their original motion to support the project passed 5-1-0.

PREP BOYS, GIRLS SWIMMING & DIVING

A Swimming Carol

La Jolla, Bishop’s put on good show in the pool BY CHRIS SAUR Like a tale straight out of a Charles Dickens novel, Friday’s meeting between The Bishop’s School and La Jolla High featured glimpses into the present and future of elite San Diego swimming. The homestanding La Jolla Vikings represented the present as they captured both the boys and girls contests at Coggan Family Aquatic Complex, while the Bishop’s Knights’ mix of youth and talent hinted at a bright future. Within La Jolla’s two victories — the boys won 101-72 and the girls cruised to a 120-58 triumph — the two teams delighted the crowd with a few fantastic finishes and a poolful of outstanding individual performances. The fans got loudest during the 100-yard breaststroke race, where Bishop’s freshman Michael Xu edged Vikings junior Parker Seale by a hair, 1:02.44 to 1:02.50. Xu — who also joined Knights teammates Noah Fales, Phillip Richman and Pierce Dietze to win the 200 freestyle relay in 1:33.32 — got revenge on Seale after the La Jolla standout nipped him 2:04.49 to 2:07.89 in the 200 individual medley event earlier in the afternoon.

Xu edged Seale at the wall, but the Vikings took overall wins in both the boys and girls competitions. In all, the Vikings won five of the nine individual boys races and two of the three relays. “I was impressed with their breaststroker (Xu) to out-touch Parker there at the end because I thought Parker swam a really good race,” said La Jolla coach Tom Atwell. “I was proud of the

way we swam. We are always a little bit stronger than (Bishop’s) just because we have a little more depth, a few more kids than they do.” Seale teamed with sophomore Johnny Dickerson, junior Dominick Wallace and senior Simon Hirschfield for victories in the 200 medley relay (1:42.78) and the 400 free relay

(3:17.75). Wallace added a pair of individual wins — going 53.86 in the 100 butterfly and 54.49 in the 100 backstroke — while Vikings senior Paul Hedlin took a close 200 free race in 1:48.40 and teammate Jordan Schultz was the day’s top diver (222.20). Dietz, a freshman for the Knights, was victorious in both the 50 (21.95) and 100 free (49.43) races and sophomore William Tian touched first in the 500 free, posting a 4:54.34. “William Tien swam one of his fastest 500 times, he didn’t think he could go that fast,” said first-year Bishop’s boys coach Sean Guthrie, who noted that his team gave a great showing considering they were missing five athletes and swam with just nine. “I’m excited to look toward city, CIF and the years coming. We have a young team, only a few seniors … and my fastest guys are all freshman and sophomores.” Though the girls competition wasn’t as close — La Jolla won all three relays and swept the top three spots in three of its five individual event victories — the 500 free, 100 back, 50 free and 100 breast races provided plenty of excitement. In the 500 free, a 20-lap marathon, Vikings

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 28, 2016 - PAGE A9

Members of the Bishop’s and La Jolla boys swim teams dive in to start a race April 22 at Coggan Family Aquatic Complex. The Vikings won both the boys and girls competitions. freshman Leigh Ann Malinger came on strong in the final 100 yards to edge Knights sophomore Klara Chisholm by the slimmest of margins (5:35.10-5:35.39). A few minutes later, Chisholm notched a victory when she nipped La Jolla’s Margaux Kelley, 1:09.43 to 109.98, in the 100 back. Bishop’s freshman Athena Leota got a win for her school in the 50 free, out-touching Viking sophomore Bennett Bugelli at the wall (25.55 to 25.70), before it was Bugelli’s turn for a close win, edging Knights junior Skylar Gering, 1:11.63-1:12.95, in the 100 breast. Gering won the 200 IM (2:20.62) for Bishop’s, which saw freshman Leah Parsons take top honors in the diving event with a score of 219.70. “Sklar Gering did a great job in her 200 IM,

finishing strong. She looked really smooth and she was really happy with that performance,” said Knights first-year girls coach Kaley Kastrup. “We only have a few seniors, so we want to finish strong this year and then push forward to next year. “A lot of girls have been sick so it’s put damper on us actually scoring points and winning these meets, but the girls have been dropping a lot of time which is great to see.” For the La Jolla girls, Ciara Franke contributed to a pair of relay wins then led 1-2-3 Viking sweeps in two individual events. The junior went 2:00.16 to capture the 200 free, just ahead of teammates Sydney Boland and Malinger, then posted a 55:30 to edge Boland and sophomore Izabella Brazell in the 100 free. La Jolla sophomore Phoebe Dillard

captured the 100 fly (1:04.42) ahead of second-place Viking Hazel Friedman and third-place teammate Chloe Cisneros for another sweep by the hosts. Dillard also contributed on relays, as did senior Lexi Atwell. “The kids that were supposed to come in first, for the most part, came in first, and I thought our second-tier group actually out-performed what we expected,” explained coach Atwell. “So I was really pleased with the results (Friday). It really set us up for city and conference. Coming up on the end of the season, we are looking good. “I think we have a really good shot at winning the whole thing, on both the boys and girls sides. We really need to keep fine tuning the relays … and (Friday) helped us figure some of that out.”

La Jolla senior Kira Bruno gets set to swim the 100 breaststroke race on Friday at Coggan Family Aquatic Complex. The Viking girls squad topped Bishop’s, 120-58, while the host boys defeated the Knights, 101-72.

Studying cancer disparities among ethnicities

ancer is not an equal opportunity killer. African-American males have the highest incidence rate of all cancers combined, for example, followed by whites, Hispanics, Asian/Pacific and American Indian/Alaska Native men. But among females, combined cancer incidence rates are highest among whites, followed by African-Americans, Hispanics, American Indian/Alaska Native and Asian/Pacific Islander women. Dig even deeper into data from the Centers for Disease Control and it gets even more complicated. White women, for example, have a higher incidence of breast cancer than African-American, but the latter are more likely to die from the disease. African-American men develop prostate cancer at almost three times the rate of Asian/Pacific Islander males, who have the highest rates of stomach and liver cancer, except in places where they don’t, such as San Diego County where liver cancer is

more prevalent among local Hispanics. At every level, cancer confounds. Depending upon your population group, which the National Cancer Institute may characterize by race, ethnicity, age, education, gender, geographic location, income or disability, there are measurable and often disproportionate differences in cancer incidence (new cases), cancer prevalence (all existing cases), mortality, survivorship and related health burdens. In recent weeks, there has been much talk about President Obama’s announced “cancer moonshot” project, a proposed $1 billion initiative to hasten the elimination of cancer, which will kill an estimated 600,000 Americans this year. The idea is broadly popular: a STAT-Harvard poll recently reported that 83 percent of Americans surveyed supported a whopping 20 percent increase in federal funding for cancer research. President Obama has proposed $755 million in mandatory funding for new cancer-related research activities in the

E ST

2017 fiscal year budget. In the meantime, under the leadership of Vice President Biden, a lot of people are working hard to translate the moonshot vision into reality. One of these people is Maria Elena Martinez, Ph.D., professor of family medicine and public health and co-director of the Reducing Cancer Disparities Program at Moores Cancer Center. Martinez was recently named to the Blue Ribbon Panel, a panel of 28 distinguished and diverse cancer scientists and physicians who will advise the Vice President on what’s happening in cancer research, prevention and treatment, what should happen and how best to “reach for the moon.” Martinez has devoted her career to championing the fields of cancer prevention and disparities, a role that has earned her honors and a leading place on many national boards and committees. “Why is it that your race or ethnicity increases the chances of dying from cancer?” she asks. “Is it biology, education, money, access to health care or culture that creates cancer disparities? It is very complex. Biology is part of it, but you cannot ignore cultural and economic factors that get in the way.” Relatively few cancer scientists work to address cancer disparities. The topic has only really gained national attention in the last decade. Martinez brings a much-needed perspective to the moonshot committee, one that it might not otherwise have.

She also brings it daily to her work at Moores. Since she arrived four years ago, Martinez has helped build and lead a growing team of investigators across departments, disciplines and the UC San Diego campus – and across the region, including a National Cancer Institute-funded partnership with San Diego State University to better understand the reasons why cancer disproportionately impacts Hispanics. As I and many others have noted before, cancer is a different disease in every patient. Every diagnosis and treatment is personal. That applies as well to cancer in communities. “You have to take into account the needs of each population within a community,” says Martinez. “There are risk factors, language and cultural differences that are unique for each group. And it’s these populations that often do not seek medical care or preventive care due to a variety of personal, cultural, or economic reasons.” In the weeks and months ahead, the cancer moonshot initiative will seek to improve the future of cancer research and treatment. Martinez will be there to help make sure that pursuit of progress involves everyone, that everyone is heard and understood. —Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. His column on medical advances from the front lines of cancer research and care appears in the La Jolla Light the fourth Thursday of each month. You can reach Dr. Lippman at mcc-dir-lippman@ucsd.edu

Patrick Ryan shows a rendering of how city signage (required when an event would close a street) could change to be more clear.

FROM PARKING LIMITS, A1 time limits to the city,” Brady said, “But the results of this survey are inconclusive. However, if any interested party would like to pursue a change in time limits … they could have our information.” The subcommittee took up the issue after resident Deborah Marengo presented the board with the findings of an in-depth study on the ever-changing parking time limits on the streets of the Village. For example, on Wall Street, there is one side of the street with 1-hour parking while the other side has 2-hour parking. At its eastern end, near the post office, the parking limit is 30 minutes. Fay Avenue also alternates between one-hour and two-hour parking. Along the coastline, parking varies between 2-hour and 3-hour periods. There are also sporadic 15- and 30-minute parking spots throughout the Village. At this time, the various parking times will remain as posted.

Coast Walk turnaround left up to city

After considerable discussion at its March meeting, T&T re-addressed a reconfiguration of parking on Coast Walk off Torrey Pines Road. Spearheaded by La Jollan Melinda Merryweather — but opposed by many residents of that street — the proposal is to remove two parking spaces on the Coast Walk bluff and install a turnaround for cars to make a three-point turn. To account for the two parking spaces lost with the turnaround, Merryweather proposed installing two more spaces somewhere on the street. “A lot of people take that way thinking they can get to the Cove. … I see cars take that way and then have no place to turnaround, so they have to back out onto Torrey Pines Road and it’s scary,” she said previously. Coast Walk — a short street west of Torrey Pines Road between Prospect Place and Amalfi Street — is a paved, residential road that connects to the Coast Walk pedestrian trail and scenic path that starts at Goldfish Point. T&T chair Dave Abrams said those in favor and against the idea have provided historical and municipal materials that are “conflicting in many ways” and discouraged the board from entering into a he-said, she-said discussion. “It isn’t

cross-promotion, and encourage participants to stop by both events, and the motion to approve the street closures passed 8-2-0. ■ Street closures for the End of Summer Run mini-run on Aug. 28 also earned approval. A benefit for area schools, the run begins at 8 a.m. on the south side of Prospect Street at Girard Avenue, with staging starting at 6:15 a.m. Applicant Kathy Loper said the run uses a “rolling course” that opens up as the runners complete the race. Affected streets, largely the southbound side of Prospect Street and La Jolla Boulevard, are expected to be completely open by 10 a.m. A motion to approve the street closure passed 10-0-0.

really this board’s charge to fare out the facts from historical documents and maps that are very technical. I would advise our board to come up with a concept to recommend to the city so it can move forward on this issue.” Member Patrick Ryan moved to recommend the city remove the two spaces on the bluff and make them a turnaround, conditional that the city secures two alternative spaces on the inland side of the street. The motion passed 9-1-0.

Street closures OK’d for two events

■ Organizers behind the planned So Fine on Kline block party slated for Sunday Nov. 13, requested and received approval for a temporary closure on Kline Street between Ivanhoe and Girard avenues. Sponsored by Mary, Star of the Sea Church, the block party includes food, music, a beer garden and more, and is intended to be open to the community-at-large. A portion of the proceeds will go to La Jolla Village Merchants Association. However, the event is proposed for the same day as the La Jolla Merchant’s Holiday Open House (which has been held for more than 20 years on the second Sunday in November), drawing concern from Nancy Warwick of Warwick’s Books. She reported that last year, when the two events were held on the same day, there was a decrease in attendance and sales at the Open House. The board recommended that those involved do some

Street closure signs under review

Considering the number of events that come before T&T that require street closures, members Warwick and Ryan argued that city-required signs are not clear. At issue is that current signage, required 72 hours in advance of a street closure, reads in large letters across the top: No Parking, and drivers often do not read further for specifics. “When we approve a street closure, we want the signage to not have a bad affect on the businesses on that street,” Warwick said. “People drive by the sign, see the words ‘no parking,’ think it is in effect at that time and keep going. We looked at the city code with a staff person and there is the opportunity for some changes, which would have to be approved by the police department, but we would like to put something together.” After reviewing the criteria, Ryan said any proposed changes to signs would have to be simple to produce, comparable in price to what is already the protocol and include all the city-required information. “There are 10 different ways to do this, but we came up with a tentative concept. Now we have to look at what has to be on the sign and go from there,” he said, showing an example that lists the time and date in which parking is prohibited first, followed by the remaining regulations. Following planned meetings with city staff, more formal sign renderings and updates will be presented. — La Jolla T&T meets 4 p.m. third Wednesdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

FROM HILLEL, A4 said, observing there are other religious institutions in the vicinity but they are set “well back from the street” and on “parcels that can accommodate them.” She also cited concern that if one student organization with religious ties would be allowed to build a facility, a precedent would be set for the nearly 50 student organizations with a religious affiliation on campus. “It opens the door.” Added Janie Emerson, who has seen the evolution of the project from her seat on multiple review committees, “It’s not that the community doesn’t want Hillel, this is just the wrong location.” Still in draft form, Rabkin said the public

Valente Hair & Co: ‘Luxury for everybody’

COURTESY

Salon executive assistant Capri Clark and Lauren Valente

BY CHRIS SAUR Launching Valente Hair & Co salon in February in La Jolla and then seeing it immediately become successful, is an impressive feat for a 25-year-old woman. It’s less surprising, however, when you consider that owner and CEO Lauren Valente — who grew up in San Diego — did the same thing a few years earlier in Italy. “I graduated from Paul Mitchell School in 2009 and went to Italy shortly after that,” Valente explained. “I had a salon in Naples for all of the women who were living there at the military base and couldn’t find a place to get their hair done. I’m very driven and I’m an entrepreneur, I always have been since I was younger.” Valente, who was just 20 years old at the time, went to Naples with her dad John, an architectural engineer for the military, and they stayed for about three and a half years. Back in San Diego two years ago — she grew up splitting time between America’s Finest City and Phoenix, Arizona and graduated from Patrick Henry High School — Valente began rebuilding her cliental base and

planning to start a stateside salon. It all came together when she and her dad were driving past the location at 7722 Girard Ave. one rainy day. “We happened to be in La Jolla and we saw this location was available. With the brick building, it gave us that feeling of the New York lifestyle, which is the glamorous Manhattan appeal,” Valente said. “And what’s a more beautiful area than La Jolla? The location is probably the No. 1 reason why we’ve attracted so many clients.” Valente got her corporation up and running in June, signed her lease in August and the salon opened its doors less than seven months later on Feb. 9. Business is already booming, and it’s not just thanks to the great location. In addition to a big social media presence, it is the salon’s customer service that makes it one of a kind. “There’s nothing like this in La Jolla,” Valente said. “It’s really a very luxurious, modern, exclusive style. Everything is white. Everything is catered to people being comfortable.” The salon has massaging recliners in front of the wash sinks, and snacks like chocolate, as well as Champagne and

wine, are complimentary for customers. Another interesting feature is the availability of master stylists for top dollar but also junior stylists, who are training with the masters and provide a more affordable option. And customers at either price level will enjoy all of the comforts of a high-end salon. “It’s luxury for everybody, that’s our slogan,” Valente said. Valente Hair & Co carries the top, celebrity-endorsed hair products and provides additional services including one that Valente said is unique to her salon. “You can actually rent out the salon for your bridal party. Hair, makeup, nails, Champagne, hors d’oeuvre and transportation to and from your event with a junior stylist who will follow you there and make sure your look is maintained throughout the whole entire wedding.” Valente Hair & Co, 7722 Girard Ave., is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays,Wednesdays; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday.

Jewelry donation by Vahid Moradi and CJ Charles Jewelers raises $100,000 for cancer research FROM CJ CHARLES REPORTS The 35th annual Spark Gala for UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center took place April 16 at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, where one of the largest jewelry donations to date in the greater San Diego area was auctioned off. Vahid Moradi, president of CJ Charles Jewelers in La Jolla, donated a rare Golden South Sea Pearl Diamond necklace and earring suite with an estimated value of $88,000 with more than 500 diamonds. Auctioneer Grant Snyder opened the bid at $30,000. Momentum grew once the gala audience felt the positive synergy and excitement. Bid numbers rose, cheering grew louder and applause resonated throughout the room. Finally, a benevolent couple made the final bid at $100,000. Immediately, Moradi personally introduced himself and congratulated them. “Their generosity has far surpassed my expectations. I am proud to be part of such a cause,” he said.

will support the center’s new Novel Cell Therapy Program, which is a type of immunotherapy treatment. More than 450 people came together to support cancer research through the Spark Gala and the result was “astronomical.” The event raised $2.5 million, which

exceeded last year’s fundraising amount of $2.1 million. — CJ Charles Jewelers, 1135 Prospect St., La Jolla. (858) 454-5390. cjcharles.com The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

ART: To be or not to be? This is the question.

BY NILE EL WARDANI, PH.D. hese days La Jolla is struggling to find its center, its identity. Will La Jolla be allowed to be an artistic village by the sea, as it started out to be? Or will conservative homogeny take over? There is a new fight in town. Perhaps it will replace the decades-long fight over whether the sea lions or the children should inhabit the Children’s Pool? The new fight: ART, to be or not to be? This is the question. If Dr. Seuss were creating his eccentric home and art in La Jolla today, would Nile El Wardani his neighbors (and San Diego city) threaten to destroy it? Just up the hill from Muirlands Middle School is the home of one of La Jolla’s living eclectic fascinating artists. Nasser Pirasteh designed and built (with his wife Zari) their exceptional and rare home, from the ground up. Their home is surrounded by Nasser’s art. There is a huge mural of flying horses, more than 60 sculptures of stone and metal, a super fantastic

GUEST COMMENTARY Gaudi-esque water fountain in the shape of a huge fish and so much more. Nasser is totally inspired by nature. Fish and horses play and swim throughout the garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Local school children stop by daily to admire the fanciful home, where adults and youth regularly stop by to take art classes. It was my son and his friend that brought my attention to the home when we drove by “Look at that awesome place!” But hold on to your hat, a new sculpture that Nasser spent 10 months erecting is under attack. It is in the shape of a dome and looks like Mother Earth’s spacecraft, but not just any spacecraft. This craft transports one’s imagination into the starry midnight skies and deep into the sea where soft corals sway and sea anemones protect clown fish. This innocent sculpture, apparently, is not loved by all. (Did everyone love Barcelona’s Gaudi or La Jolla’s Dr. Seuss in their day?) Someone lodged a complaint and the City of San Diego has threatened Nasser with destruction. Beginning May 8 — if the sculpture is not demolished — the City will fine Nasser and Zari $2,500 a day. The city has not yet scheduled a public hearing,

which was requested in writing by the couple on March 17. This seems illegal or unconstitutional or downright unfair, penalties before a hearing? Assumed guilty before proven innocent? Is this American? Important facts: This sculpture is on Nasser’s private property and Nasser has an impressive resume as an internationally recognized artist. So while La Jolla tussles for its newfound identity with the commission of 14 new murals going up around town (BLAH BLAH BLAH — enough said) others are trying to strip La Jolla of its identity as an artistic village by the sea. Where do you stand? Stop by the corner of Nautilus Street and Avenida Manana and share your feeling on art in La Jolla. The sculpture has come to life and has shared its story on the big white wall surrounding its home. You are welcome to write or draw whatever you like in response. The artists of La Jolla and San Diego need to unite on this issue. Nasser hopes to receive support from fellow artists. For a start, muralist Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia, who painted the mural in La Jolla Shores and Murals of La Jolla curators ought to stop by and partake of Nasser’s art. The people of La Jolla and San Diego can also have their say, a chance to vote between conservative homogeny or artistic expression. My vote: ART — Let it be.

ASHLEY MACKIN

La Jolla artist Nasser Pirasteh with his sculpture, which the city claims is an ‘accessory structure’ on his property and visible from Nautilus Street.

As three-year residents of La Jolla, we have been learning about the wonderful heritage of art expression in this special neighborhood of San Diego. From the Museum of Contemporary Art to Dr. Seuss to the outdoor performances of the La Jolla Playhouse and UCSD, it’s a place that celebrates the unusual and idiosyncratic. The whimsical private sculpture garden of professional artist and teacher Nasser Pirasteh, set along a roadway frequented by middle school and high school kids and their parents, reminds the next generation every day that art is to be seen and not hidden away. Except when the City of San Diego decides to apply local building codes to an obvious gazebo. Will our city leaders blindly follow rules meant for greedy landlords and selfish iconoclasts or make a thoughtful exception in the name of personal expression and beneficial art? We hope enough San Diego citizens stand up for an urban environment that allows for the occasional exception to the rule. Grant and Yvonne Bentley

LA JOLLA LIGHT - APRIL 28, 2016 - PAGE A23

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Do not miss the craftsmanship in disputed artwork The photo you printed of Nasser Pirasteh’s disputed sculpture unfairly misrepresents it. In the rendering, it appears to be a carelessly painted hovel. In fact, the sculpture is a meticulously designed and exquisitely crafted study in filtered and reflected light, comprised of costly and fascinating materials: a penetrable prism at least as worthy of long study as the local murals touted by your newspaper. Pirasteh’s presence in the doorway demonstrates that this “structure” is scarcely larger than any humdrum gazebo, which homeowners may purchase and install in their yards without recrimination — but no one inhabits it or throws parties in it. Your article neglects to mention that Pirasteh’s entire yard constitutes an outdoor museum of remarkable original sculptures. In my view, just his extraordinarily beautiful mural of galloping horses along the north wall of the property qualifies this home for landmark status. I wish he lived next door to me! In fairness to a gifted artist, who generously makes his creations visible to us all, surely this work should be regarded as but a single formal — not utilitarian — element integrated within a uniquely lovely garden. Freya Smallwood

Here’s more support for artwork’s survival La Jolla, as aptly meaning “beautiful,” should encourage the introduction of beautiful artworks and not discourage them, let alone destroy them. Both sides of Nautilus Road connecting the top of Soledad Mountain to the Pacific Ocean have special magical appeal to visitors of La Jolla. Without a doubt, this particular artwork of Nasser Pirasteh under question — strategically located with full view for the passersby — adds beauty to the ambiance without intruding or interfering with anything or anybody. There seems to be lack of knowledge for understanding the definition of installation

art. I’ve been using Nautilus from Soledad Mountain down to the edge of ocean for my daily meditation practice for the past 18 years and will definitely be sad not to see this colorful sculpture if it is removed. Emil Zolfaghari An 85-years-young citizen

New mural detracts from Shores’ beauty Walking home recently, I looked up to see the “painting” above the taco shop here in the Shores. I am horrified! It is “visual pollution.” It does not belong on a building exterior, possibly in a gallery, and then one may choose to see it. I have not that choice. We have enough distractions in our lives. We do not need this attack on our senses. I am disgusted. It is sanctioned graffiti. Shame on you, La Jolla! Katherine Henry

Beware of ‘service dog’ scammers I, totally, agree with Joanie Connell (letters April 21 issue) regarding dogs in Vons — or any other stores or restaurants, for that matter. It has become apparent the “service/emotional” dog certification is a poorly regulated business that it is used by people who, basically, only want to take their dogs into public places where their dogs would not, otherwise, be allowed. I’ve spoken to the Vons’ manager and have even written to Congressman Scott Peters’ office regarding this abuse of a privilege that is needed by some, but has surged out of control. The ADA states that a service animal “must perform a special task for the owner,” and stores have a right to ask exactly what service the dog performs. To say that you need to “pet the animal,” does not qualify. After tripping over a dog inside Vons, I called the ADA to verify the rules. Stores seem to be intimidated, and afraid to ask dog-bringing shoppers “what service is performed?” Many times Vons looks like a pet shop. One day there were three dogs in the store — a pink poodle, a Chihuahua in a

cart sitting on his dirty blanket, and a very nervous and unhappy terrier. Vons, and other stores, should not allow this abuse to continue as it cheapens the needs of a people who have REAL needs for help. Also, the law should be changed to specify what qualifies as a “service animal” and rein in the companies on the Internet selling service dog documentation, and little vests, for around $39.95. As a side note, I’m not some old crank who hates animals, but quite the contrary. I’ve always had pets and support way too many animal causes. To feign disability just to take your dog along with you is a disgrace. It’s an abuse of a good law and a slap in the face to people with REAL needs. Write your Congressman to insist on regulations regarding qualifications for service animals, and speak with Vons, and other stores, that turn their backs on this abuse. Mary Rayes

Dogs don’t belong inside grocery stores Kudos to Joanie Connell for bringing up the subject of dogs in our local grocery store, via a letter in the April 21 La Jolla Light. As a caretaker of canines, we’ve had dogs in our household in La Jolla for 25 years plus. It is a joy to walk them in the Village and be greeted by merchants happy to offer them a cool drink or a treat. However, the grocery store is not a place for our pets! I cringe watching folks bring their dog(s) — yes, sometimes two — into the store as they peruse the produce! On Monday I watched as a female shopper placed her furry friend in the shopping cart basket and then proceeded into the store. Outrageous! What if I place my child/grandchild there and they are allergic to dogs? These dogs are not certified service dogs, so let’s please leave our canine companions at home! Cristina Sear

Proud to see local volunteers in action As a native La Jollan of 57 years, I want to

draw attention and praise for jobs well done: First: I walk the Shores Beach regularly and have noted how well manicured the beach looks lately. This beach has not looked this good for decades! Second: Contrary to a long-standing trend to leave infrastructure maintenance to unresponsive, inefficient and expensive government bureaucracies, it is refreshing to see how community volunteerism and collaboration can band together to fix our deferred maintenance issues. The refurbishing of the Mt. Soledad Memorial by responsive, efficient, and cost-minded locals is getting the job done in our lifetime. Cameron Campbell

St. Jordi’s Day fest at Warwick’s was fun Everyone agrees that Warwick’s is indeed one of the treasures of La Jolla. Saturday, Warwick’s celebrated the Catalonian festival of books, roses and love, bringing this grand tradition of St. Jordi’s Day from Spain to La Jolla. The St. Jordi’s Day event was truly beautiful and inspiring, a celebration of literature, romance and knowledge. We hope this exceptional event will become an annual celebration in La Jolla. Myrna Naegle

CORRECTION The photo caption in the April 7 feature on the San Diego Crew Classic should have stated that Michael and Liz Copley present The Copley Cup every year at the rowing regatta, and that the award is sponsored by the Copley family and the David C. Copley Foundation.

Concours Best of Show: 1936 Delahaye competition convertible BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO he Best of Show trophy and French Curves Class winner at the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance at Scripps Park on April 10 went to the 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Disappearing Top Convertible, owned by Ken and Ann Smith of La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe. The Smiths believe it exemplifies the very best of the golden years of automotive design, “a one-off piece” by famed coachbuilders Figoni & Falaschi of Paris, considered the finest craftsmen of the period. The 3.5-liter six-cylinder Figoni Delahaye (which Ken Smith guesses to be worth $12-$15 million) was the first of the streamlined competition cars. “I bought it from a Southern California car collector; saw it at a show and went weak in the knees,” Smith said. He explained that these cars were equally at home on the streets of France or one of the many weekend race rallies of the SEE CONCOURS, A24

No stranger to the Concours scene, this ’36 Delahaye has won more than 20 Best of Show awards from other events and has been consistently judged by the Classic Car Club of America at 100 points, a perfect score in their highest Premier Level. Club Delahaye France authenticates it to be correct in all respects and numbers matching original records.

Chief Concours judge Nigel Matthews, award presenter Emily Davis, Concours chair Michael Dorvillier, Best of Show trophy creator and artist Alan Taylor, winning car owners Ken and Ann Smith, assistants Patti and Stacey Baker, transporter Alfredo Garcia and Chief Honorary Concours judge Ed Gilbertson. FROM CONCOURS, A23 1930s. Of the 30 created, only about half survived due to race trackwrecks and WW II. In those days, Smith explained, a buyer could purchase the running chassis of engine, transmission and drive train from the manufacturer and then have it “dressed” in a unique body design by one of a number of coach builders approved by the factory. “Rarely do competitive racing chassis and imaginative aerodynamic coachwork come together in a single car, but such is the case with this Figoni masterpiece,” boasted Smith. “There are more than 200 handmade louvers on the engine compartment hood for warm air to escape. The exterior is finished in Bleu Foncé, a color that changes hue with the light, and accented by chrome strips accenting the flowing streamlined lines of the coach.” Smith said on a recent trip to France, he and his wife got to hobnob with hospitable French Delahaye Club members, who were astounded to learn of his car’s existence in Southern California. “They thought it was a lost car,” he said. “They had current registration from it, but didn’t know where the car was or even if it existed anymore.” To ensure the treasure stays in top-running shape, Smith said he regularly “exercises” it along a cul-de-sac in his neighborhood. “I’ve got to be really careful with it to keep the car in 100-point condition,” he said. “It will be entered in other Concours … maybe San

Marino, Los Angeles, Pinehurst North Carolina.” He credits event chair Michael Dorvillier for taking La Jolla’s Concours up a notch this year with fewer cars, and finer cars. “This Concours is growing in prestige to become one of the top in the country,” Smith said. “And La Jolla will reap its value as attendees come to stay in town, eat meals in town, visit the art galleries and shop for last-minute dresses to the parties. I’m happy the proceeds go to the Monarch School and La Jolla Historical Society for their good work in the community.” Dorvillier called the 2016 Concours “absolutely amazing,” and added that even though rain threatened all the events planned for the April 8-10 weekend, “in La Jolla we remained a bubble of sunshine.” He praised LPL Financial for its title sponsorship and thanked the 175 volunteers and 127 vehicle owners for carrying the day. “We had 80 judges from all over the world come to town to participate at their own expense ... all the big manufacturers were here ... Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Bentley ... some unveiled cars and others took in the venue. Twenty local restaurateurs provided samples at the VIP center and the Friday and Saturday night parties were wonderful.” Dorvillier said the financial success of the 2016 Concours has yet to be tabulated, but next year’s event will build on the progress made this year.

FROM TRAFFIC, A1 85th percentile system is set up as it is, is that people will drive as fast as they think is safe, regardless of the posted speed limit. So moving the speed limit up from 35 to 40 miles per hour won’t actually change the speed that people feel safe driving … the people going 50 are going to do so whether the speed limit is 35 or 40.” So if residents opt to keep the posted speed limit at 35 miles per hour, and drivers speed beyond that, Ryan said, “police cannot do anything about it. If you move it to 40 and someone is going over the speed limit, police can enforce it via radar. But it comes down to the residents. This is your street, the city has said they won’t push too much if they get kickback from the residents, and this board typically heeds the residents. If you come to us with a petition saying you do not want it moved, we will try to do what the residents want. You have to decide what you want.” With many in attendance stating they would be willing to circulate such a petition, others said the street merited a slower speed limit, as well as additional traffic calming measures, to deter speeding.

Keeping Residents in the Loop ■ Following the April meeting, Traffic & Transportation board chair Dave Abrams said he would try to notify La Jolla Light of any proposed speed limit increases from the city as soon as they are requested. That way, the newspaper could report the plans and residents would have more time to weigh-in on the changes at T&T meetings. ■ Abrams said T&T agendas are available 72 hours prior to a meeting, and posted at lajollacpa.org and La Jolla Rec Center. T&T meets 4 p.m. third Wednesdays at the Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org Resident Andy Shorenstein, who credited stories in the La Jolla Light for informing him of the issue, said he was not otherwise notified of the proposed speed limit change. “My daughter’s car was parked on that street and was sideswiped, but thankfully, she wasn’t in it,” he told meeting attendees.

“And I have observed postal workers dash across the street like a game of Frogger. What we need to do is slow things down, not increase the speed limit.” Another attendee noted it might cause confusion to have the speed limits alternate along the street. Heading north, the speed limit is 40 miles per hour on Soledad Mountain Road between Garnet and Beryl streets. After Beryl Street, the speed limit drops to 35 miles per hour, where it remains until La Jolla Scenic Drive South. So to add a section in the middle where the speed limit is 40 miles per hour, he argued, might be confusing for drivers. Resident Robert O’Neill, who pulled the item at the LJCPA meeting and spoke out against it, said the only traffic-calming device in place now is an illuminated speed limit indicator, which has been turned off since last year. “There are traffic-calming devices that can be very effective for most people … such as speed limit signs with blinking lights along the edges,” he said. Agreeing that additional traffic calming could be considered at another date, the T&T board recommended concerned citizens first circulate a petition addressing only the

speed limit and report back at a future meeting for a vote.

In other traffic calming news:

To slow speedy drivers on West Muirlands Drive, residents presented T&T with a petition for the installation of speed humps, which the board approved unanimously. Often used as a feeder street to Fay Avenue and a drop-off for La Jolla High School students, the street snakes through a residential area and along the back of Muirlands Middle School. However, residents report speeding is a frequent issue. In an attempt to slow drivers down, a traffic choker was installed in October 2014, and standing plastic pylons were installed after that. Deemed ineffective, residents circulated a petition to area residents and the fire department requesting speed humps — which are more gradual than speed bumps — be installed. It was not known when the humps would be placed, but residents said the city has identified funding for the installation. Once set, the pylons would be removed but the traffic island would remain.

La Jolla Cluster Association reviews changes in school district budget BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During the April 22 meeting of the La Jolla Cluster Association (LJCA) at Muirlands Middle School, members got to take the first look at the hot-off-the-press draft of the 2016-2017 San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) budget. The document, named Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), is a three-year plan revised annually. The consensus of the representatives from La Jolla’s five public schools was appreciation for the district’s effort to increase local control over the curriculum. Donna Tripi, principal of La Jolla Elementary, has been in the LCAP committee for two years, and highlighted the benefits of the increased control. For one thing, the higher performance of students in La Jolla sometimes doesn’t match the curriculum requirements of the district. “Our students are very high-performing, we have a large number of gifted students, so we’ve always felt our students have been somewhat different than maybe across the district,” Tripi said. “The district always aligns how we are teaching and what resources we are using, and the timelines that we are using them in, so we cover the common

august 10, 1953 - april 1, 2016 La JoLLa — on Friday, april 1, 2016, our dearly beloved Sue was taken from us after a courageous struggle with lung cancer. She died in the comfort of her home with the assistance of hospice care and her husband, Rick Fox. Sue is survived by husband, Rick Fox; son, Danny; two grandsons, adam and Will; father, William Bettles and his wife, Jonelle; siblings, Barbara Jill St. John, Tom Bettles, Steve Bettles, Jeanne o’Leary, Carol Murphy, Dave Bettles, Laura LeBlanc and Kathy Sessions; in-laws, Gail Bettles, Kathy Bettles, Tom o’Leary, John Murphy and Tracy Bettles; 11 nieces and nephews; and 8 grandnieces and nephews. Her mother, Jean Bettles, preceded her in 1996 at the age of 73. Sue was the daughter of Bill and Jean Bettles. She was born and raised in La Jolla, California.

Mitzi Merino explains the budget review procedure to members of La Jolla Cluster Association, April 22. curriculum, but we cover it in a more rigorous and challenging way.” Specifically, the second bullet point of the draft’s first page reads: “Central office staff supports area superintendents, principals, and school staffs to design site-based assessment systems that promote a culture of revision and continuous improvement of student learning.” La Jolla High School principal Chuck Podhorsky agreed to this change in the district’s policies. “The site-based common assessments are really critical for schools to measure the progress of students along the way,” he said. “It’s also important that it’s site-based because the teachers at the school are really the ones who are working daily with the curriculum and know the best way to align that.” Site management could also be extended to career development and professional learning. Torrey Pines Elementary School principal Sara Ott reviewed that section of the LCAP draft. “Our cluster is very unique, we track kids at a very high level and some of the district’s support and

professional development is at a lower level,” Ott said. The draft document also included different initiatives to improve the performance of diverse students. Mary Taylor, principal at Bird Rock, reviewed that section. “We are not living it because we don’t have a lot of diversity at Bird Rock,” Taylor said. “But I could see how many of the changes they’ve made in this document will assist getting children of color, foster youth, and children who live in diverse situations closer to meeting the standards.” Mitzi Merino, Area 5 superintendent for SDUSD was at the meeting to receive feedback and answer any questions the school representatives had. “One of the things that we have been doing all along is going out to our communities and seeking input around their priorities for LCAP plans, so we can then align our district support,” Merino said. When the review process is done, if changes are approved, these measures could go to the 2016-2017 budget. To provide input on the draft, visit sandiegounified.org/what-lcap

Is your yard a breeding ground for mosquitos? San Diego County officials warn residents that West Nile virus season is back and two new invasive mosquitoes have arrived in town. West Nile virus is a disease transmitted to humans, birds, horses, and other animals, by infected mosquitoes. Mosquitoes get the disease from feeding on infected birds and can later pass it on when they bite animals or humans. In 2015, 44 San Diegans were infected with the West Nile virus, and six died from the disease.

How much EXTRA did you pay in taxes on April 15? It’s disturbing to know that 45 percent of Americans paid no Federal Income Taxes in 2015! How much did you pay? Wheree to look? Find your 2015 tax return: Thee front page is Form 1040. Check line 63 (which hich shows how much you paid in federal income ttaxes). ) Next, check your California tax return Form 540 and find line 64. Find your Kleenex box and calculator, total both numbers and divide by 12. That number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Shocked? Want to be shocked even more? Most of you reading this actually paid more than you should — why? You probably only had your taxes prepared vs. planned. Has your tax preparer ever taken time to read and explain your return with any suggestions? Keep this in mind: Taxes are not just taxes — taxes are dollars. Our firm does not prepare taxes — we leave that to the accountants, enrolled agents, CPAs and tax attorneys. However, we do READ tax returns, and (just maybe) could show you some ideas and strategies so you will only pay your “fair share” and no more than necessary. In my 30-plus years as a private financial planner, I have reviewed literally thousands of tax returns — and the great majority of people simply pay much more than necessary. I have clients who pay zero taxes and some others who pay more than $1M in taxes. It’s interesting to review these tax returns and great to show people how they might be able to reduce their tax liabilities. My challenge to you is to find your most recent tax return. If it’s your 2015, jot down what you paid in federal and California taxes — total both and divide by 12. Remember, that number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Wow, you say! Did I really pay THAT much? Yep, you did! So what to do if you want to potentially pay less this year? Our firm provides a complimentary meeting to review your most recent return. Now, it’s up to you.

David Johnson, Yuntaisha, La Toya Johnson and ENF driver Gloria Chavez need the Ride With Emilio van for a medical visit.

Cheetah Charity Runners seek others to help kids with cancer BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN t age 15, Yuntaisha has gone through more suffering than the average person in a lifetime. She beat leukemia when she was 4, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2013. Yuntaisha’s family doesn’t own a car, and lives a two-and-a-half-hour bus ride away from Rady Children’s Hospital, where she receives treatment. Her mother, La Toya Johnson, said she would have to take three buses and a trolley to get there. The Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF) helps families like Yuntaisha’s. Its program, “Ride with Emilio,” gives children with cancer and their parents rides to the hospital. “To know that the foundation is there to provide that transportation whenever you need it, is amazing … I0 couldn’t ask for anything better,” Johnson said. La Jollans Sheryl and James Sheremita created the Cheetah Charity Runners (CCR) to raise funds for ENF in June 2015. Their first team of 65 runners collected $100,000 by

running marathons (26 miles) and half marathons (13 miles). “Each person has a fundraising website and they ask people to fund us while they are training,” Sheryl said. James commented, “It’s very significant and important that we have this local connection. The organization is right here, so we can meet the families and see what’s happening.” The CCR founders are putting together their team for the fall season and need more volunteers to help their mission. Volunteers get a personalized training plan from the Sheremitas, who are experienced coaches and long-time runners. James won the La Jolla Half Marathon two years in a row (1991 and 1992), among many other national and international races. Sheryl estimates the CCR team will cover more than 80,000 miles this year, at premier destination races that include the Kauai Half Marathon on Sept. 4, 2016, and the Dublin Marathon on Oct. 30, 2016. The fall team will start training in June. SEE CHARITY RUNNERS, B8

Airline outsources security questions to pod people

La Jolla Cultural Partners

ecently United Airlines notified both my husband Olof and me that we would have to strengthen our passwords on our mileage accounts and select new security questions. Olof and I hate security questions. For virtually all of our accounts – financial, travel, etc. – we try to use a single account so we can have security questions that we would both know the answer to. City where we were married (La Jolla) is always a good choice, although this is actually both of our second marriages, so even that one has potential for confusion. We always go for Olof’s first pet. City where you were born has at least a 50 percent chance of being correct. We never use grandmother’s maiden name since neither of us can remember our own much less the other person’s. But with this new system, United as outdone (undone?) itself. We were each offered 15 security questions and were required to pick five of them and select answers from a pull-down menu that was alleged to provide pretty much any option one might choose. It goes

without saying that if either of us, but especially Olof, has to prove identity to United with the answer to any of these questions, he’ll have to take the bus back from Chicago. There was not one single question of the 15 that we would both know the answer to. That is because United outsourced this project to pod people from a parallel galaxy who have not visited Earth in any recent time-space continuum. To be accurate, there WAS one question that I knew we’d both know the answer to without a single doubt: What is your favorite pizza topping? Woo-hoo! Anchovies! But is anchovies one of the options? Nope! WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? Something called Za’atar is an option, as is mashed potatoes. On a pizza? Even something called giardiniera. Sounds like an intestinal disease you get from camping. Another question is favorite subject in school? What age? In elementary school I might have gone for “recess” (not an option, although “penmanship” is.

Penmanship is anybody’s favorite subject in school?) First major city that you visited: I was born in Boston and grew up in a suburb of New York City. Do either of those count as visits? “Major city” seems to be up to some debate as well: the extensive list includes Guangzhou, Lahore, Reykjavik, Jakarta — and Fresno. What is your favorite sea animal? To eat? The list includes oysters, manatees, sea cucumbers, and stingrays. Hard to imagine that anyone’s favorite sea animal (food or otherwise) is a stingray. What is your favorite breed of dog? There are 57 (yes) choices before you even finish the C’s. English bulldog isn’t there but bulldog is. News flash, United Pod People: English, French and American bulldogs are very different breeds! What was the make of your first car? Like dogs, a long list which included Bugati, Armstrong-Siddeley, Bentley, DeTomso, Lamborghini, SsangYong – but no Yugo. We’re talking FIRST CAR here folks. I would aver that far more people had Yugos as first cars than Lamborghinis. Favorite type of movie: Olof loves those icky Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies so maybe “fantasy” for him. I’d opt for “anything without car chases or special effects” (not a choice). I’d never dare select “romantic comedy” because Olof would sooner forfeit his plane ticket than opt for that. What is your favorite type of reading? For

Olof, computer books or technical books, which really should be an answer but isn’t. The closest is “professional development,” but he likes technical books for their own inexplicable sake. I would have selected memoirs if that were a choice, but I’ll concede that biography is close enough. What musical instrument do you play? Olof used to play the guitar but hasn’t in decades. My answer, “I am terminally tone deaf and do not play a musical instrument” is not an answer, although nose flute, didgeridoo, shamisen, tambourine, sousaphone, and sitar are all choices. There were slight variations in the options on our lists: Olof got What was your least favorite fruit or vegetable as a child? while the question on my mileage account was What was your most favorite fruit or vegetable as a child? Answer to both: Seriously, we’d remember? What is your favorite warm weather sport? Drinking pina coladas on the beach? Not an option, but “disc golf” (what the heck is that?) and “biathlon” are. What is the month of your best friend’s birthday? OK, at least there are only 12 choices instead of 2,000 dog breeds or car makes. But do either of us have a single best friend anymore? So here’s OUR question for United: How many fails do they give you before your ticket is cancelled and you’re assumed to be a site-hacking terrorist? Inquiring minds want to know.

Building ‘Hearts of Compassion’

Stella Maris students help Father Joe’s Villages BY ASHLEY MACKIN hen six-year-old Mariella Smith and her class at Stella Maris Academy were tasked with a writing assignment on the topic: What you would do if you had $100? Mariella wrote that she would give it to help homeless people. When the first-grader brought her letter home, mom Gina asked her if everyone else in the class answered the same way she did. “She told me most kids said they wanted toys or something from Star Wars or had other aspirations, but this was how she would have used $100,” she said. Moved by her daughter’s kind-hearted

response, Gina wrote a check to Father Joe’s Villages for $100. “She actually wanted to give it to a homeless person directly,” Gina said, “but instead we decided to send her letter with a check to Father Joe’s. We don’t do an allowance yet, but we wrote the check to honor what Mariella likes. I want to nurture this piece of her. That’s my job.” To recognize Mariella’s compassion, the CEO of Father Joe’s Villages and Stella Maris deacon Jim Vargas, stopped by her classroom April 22 to say thanks. After a brief discussion on the many ways to help Father Joe’s Villages and in turn, help homeless people, Vargas recognized Mariella and thanked her for her gift. “For $100 we can feed 50 people for a month, but there are a lot of things we do with donations based on the need,” Vargas explained to La Jolla Light post presentation. “We have a therapeutic child care center so we can work with homeless children before they start school. We also have a medical clinic staffed by pediatricians, so $100 could have a huge impact depending on where we use it.” In addition to Mariella’s assignment, third-graders at Stella Maris are studying the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy: To feed the hungry, to give drink to the thirsty, to clothe the naked, to shelter the homeless, to visit the sick, to visit the

In a group exercise on the first three, the third-graders held a canned food and clothing drive, which was also earmarked for the needy at Father Joe’s Villages. “It’s so amazing that at this young age, children are thinking of others. It’s so very important because these are our future leaders and we need them to be compassionate people,” Vargas said. “They realize that they are blessed, and with that comes certain obligations to take care of those who are not so blessed. They are building hearts of compassion.”

William Moyers to discuss Gala proceeds to support addiction recovery those with bipolar disorder FROM JFS REPORTS Addiction crosses all socioeconomic strata, from the affluent and career professionals to the unemployed and homeless, it does not discriminate. To shed light on the issue and in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, a Jewish Family Service of San Diego’s (JFS) luncheon will feature William Cope Moyers discussing his personal struggles with addiction and his journey in overcoming the disease, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday, May 23 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, 3777 La Jolla Village Drive. Moyers, son of veteran broadcaster and former White House Press Secretary Bill Moyers, went from a life of privilege to one of powerless addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine. It would have ended his life if his family had not intervened. Moyers shared his gritty accounts of substance use and recovery in his best-selling memoir, “Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption,” and continued his dedication to break down the walls of denial that surround addicts with “Now What? An Insider’s Guide to Addiction and Recovery.” His story stuns, inspires and shines a bright light on how addiction is a powerful illness and recovery is a lifelong pursuit – one that requires the whole family and community to recover together. As the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation’s vice president of public affairs, Moyers leads

Luncheon tickets are $50 before May 9, and $60 afterward at jfssd.org/recovery

International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF) will host Behind the Mask: Carnevale di Venezia, a gala benefit, auction and awards dinner to support the organization’s programs designed to educate, erase stigma, provide support and fund research for those living with bipolar disorder. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million adult Americans, or about 2.6 percent of the U.S. population. The gala will be held 6-11 p.m. Saturday, May 7 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine and will feature appearances by 2016 IBPF award winners including Paul Dalio, the producer of the new Spike Lee film, “Touched With Fire” starring Katie Holmes, Luke Kirby and Christine Lahti. Dalio, who himself lives with bipolar disorder, will be at the event to accept the award. The producer recently traveled with IBPF to speak at a March 23 pre-World Bipolar Day press conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. where he also assisted in the acceptance of a Congressional Resolution, acknowledging the special day co-founded by IBPF. World Bipolar Day is held each year on March 30, the birthdate of the painter Vincent Van Gogh who is widely known as a historic figure identified as living with bipolar disorder.

Keyboard Connections

Athenaeum music series to celebrate the piano FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS “The sparkling mistress of keyboard and talk,” Jacquelyne Silver, returns to the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library with a new four-evening series that connects ideas in the arts — poetry with music, art with music, musical ideas that merge, and composers who play off each other. The series is set for 7:30 p.m., Thursdays, May 5, 12, 19 and 26 at 1008 Wall St. ■ May 5: Hear the story of the piano, from its humble birth and its rise to becoming the favorite instrument of kings, classical virtuosos, jazz players and living rooms all over the world. Silver will lead guests through the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Gershwin, Joplin and more, as the voice of the incomparable piano displays its grand versatility from thundering “louds” to whispering “softs.” ■ May 12: Silver was born in St. Louis on the Mississippi River and steeped in the lore of blues, ragtime and early jazz as a child. Her father played ragtime on the riverboat clubs that grew up along the path between New Orleans northward. She will discuss and play blues, jazz and ragtime, showing their paths of connection by focusing on works by W.C. Handy, Clarence “Pine Top” Smith, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, “Fats” Waller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and jazz innovator Bill Evans. ■ May 19: Silver will sweep you away on a musical carpet to connect composers who you’d never think to combine. Did Frederic Chopin inspire “The Phantom of the Opera?” Did Wolfgang Mozart dictate “The Pajama Game?” Did Johannes Brahms write parts of “Brigadoon?” Explore the music of the romantic Schumanns, Clara and her beloved Robert; were his melodies really hers? Did Felix Mendelssohn use his sister Fanny’s compositions as the basis for his works? ■ May 26: Silver will be joined by baritone Walter Ritter for a dialogue of insights and musical highlights. Their repertoire will include the music of Mozart, Brahms, Schubert and Beethoven, along with a segment of Broadway songs. —Individual programs are $17 members/$22 non-members; series tickets are $60 members/$80 non-members at (858) 454-5872 or ljathenaeum.org

A leopard shark.

They’re back! Have you spotted a leopard shark yet?

a Jolla snorkelers’ most-awaited marine creature has made its appearance along our coast. Although the peak of the season starts in late May or early June, leopard shark sightings have been reported. They are here in small numbers, but they have arrived. These marine bottom feeders, especially the females, come to La Jolla Shores searching warmer waters during their mating season. Despite their name “shark,” this species is completely harmless for humans. Leopard sharks usually suck up invertebrates from the ocean’s floor. Although they have teeth, they swallow their food without chewing.

Leopard sharks are typically 4 to 5 feet long, and the heaviest ever recorded weighed 40 pounds. Their spotted skin makes them very recognizable for the non-expert eye. These marine animals’ love for kelp beds and reefs makes them easy to spot while swimming around the southern side of La Jolla Shores. To enjoy these creatures, you can reserve a tour with Bike & Kayak Tours (858) 454-1010; Hike; Bike & Kayak (858) 551-9510; La Jolla Kayak (858) 459-1114; Snorkel and Scuba San Diego (858) 539-0054; or grab your wetsuit and goggles and try to find some on your own! —María José Durán

Murder, glamour, mystery loom in Playhouse’s ‘Hollywood’ premiere

rish-born American actor/director William Desmond Taylor was a popular figure in the early days of the Hollywood motion-picture scene. He directed 59 silent films between 1914 and 1922 and acted in 27 between 1913 and 1915. In 1922, he was murdered inside his bungalow at the Alvarado Court

Apartments in Los Angeles. The murderer was never found and the crime remains a cold case. Perhaps playwright Joe DiPietro’s world premiere of “Hollywood” at the La Jolla Playhouse will shed more light on the mystery. “I’m an old movie buff and growing up, loved movies from the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s,” DiPietro said. “Many are better than most modern movies. The black-and-white photography, the words of dialogue and nature of the dialogue — even under the Hays Code — was stunning in what they were able to do during those early times. That era is really my sweet spot. I’ve always wanted to write something about early Hollywood.” Since the press release announcing the show — production as yet unseen — the Playhouse has extended its run. “That’s quite unusual, but very exciting,” DiPietro said. “In writing the script, I learned that William Desmond Taylor had just walked the actress Mabel Moorman, who was visiting him, to her car. She was the Jennifer Lawrence of her day, a huge star. When he came back to his bungalow someone inside shot and killed him. This caused quite a scandal,

The poster from the new thriller coming to La Jolla Playhouse and was the birth of the modern celebrity scandal. My play is basically a whodunit, combining the history of Hollywood, modern celebrity and the rise of censorship and conservatism in Hollywood.” The play also touches on William Hays, known for creating the Hays Code of censorship in early Hollywood. “Hays was very influential politically and was hired by the studios as a public relations man because Washington wanted to start regulating the movies,” DiPietro said. “As he is trying to figure out the mystery of the murder, he is also trying to clean up Hollywood both onscreen and off.” The cast features seven actors from the

New York Theater, seven or eight returning La Jolla Playhouse actors with Scott Drummond playing Taylor (“Mother Courage and Her Children”); and four students from the UCSD theatre program. DiPietro said he’s also excited about the design team and what awaits the audience. “A great state-of-the-art design team is going all out,” he said. “The costumes fit the era, there will be projections of silent film moments, headlines, and it’s going to be a very modern look at a very glamorous time in the Hollywood district.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Hollywood” runs May 10-June 12 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus.

There is a minimum fundraising goal of $750 to attend the marathons. “Some people cover the $750 themselves, and others raise all the money,” Sheryl said. “I have seen people raise up to 10,000 in a single event.” James called the experience “a complete package.” “If you just train for a race event, it’s just about you. And if you are fundraising for a cause, but there are no activities involved, you might feel like something is missing. And combining both, that’s creating an energy that’s very powerful, motivational and emotional,” he said. Runners of all levels are invited to participate in the program. Diane Nares, co-founder of ENF, said she was a first-time runner when she joined the team last summer. After four months of training, she was able to complete her first half marathon (Big Sur, November 2015). “They take people from the couch to running a half marathon. It was very

‘Fallen Star’ film coming to ArcLight-La Jolla BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ow many people does it take to hoist a 70,000-pound artwork onto a seventh-story rooftop? A 50-minute film about Do Ho Suh’s “Fallen Star,” the small house perched Wizard-of-Oz-like on the roof-edge of UCSD’s School of Engineering, will let you see for yourself May 5 when it’s screened at ArcLight Cinemas-La Jolla. “Fallen Star: Finding Home,” co-directed by Vera Brunner-Sung and Valerie Stadler, is about the combined efforts that took the 18th piece in the university’s Stuart Collection from conception and construction at ground-level to its designated spot at a nerve-wracking hundred-foot height. It’s a story of creative collaboration, a coming together of inventive engineering and commitment to art, warmed by the feelings people have for the idea of home. Suh, the Korean-born artist, is the film’s executive producer. In 2007, he submitted two proposals to the Stuart Collection, which commissions contemporary, site-specific sculptures for the campus. He thought his less-complicated “Secret Garden” was more likely to be chosen, and was surprised when the choice was “Fallen Star.” His experience of disorientation when he first came to this country inspired the piece, which he envisioned as a homey cottage crashed into a tall, institutional building. But UCSD students, many of whom could relate to the experience, were more enraged by the expense of the project — a

One of the donated photos on the ‘Fallen’ cottage wall is of Stuart Collection director Mary Beebe (above) with her mom. ‘In the Renaissance, they put pictures of their patrons on the walls; here, we have baby pictures,’ said a docent. shift of opinion, as he came to acknowledge the overwhelmingly positive reactions people had — and continue to have — to the piece he helped raise. In November 2011, once construction was completed, with everything built to code so the off-kilter cottage could withstand high winds, severe rainstorms and earthquakes, it was time for the house-hoisting. Suh had contacted Brunner-Sung, a filmmaker whose work, like his own, is concerned with the definition of home, and asked her to film the event. Sung brought Stadler, an L.A. director-producer, onboard, and the film, a first collaboration for the two that included a crew of 35, turned into a joyful five-year process. “There’s been a tremendous amount of good will and joy around the project,” Stadler said. “People are enchanted by Do Ho’s piece and

were excited to be part of the film. It’s been a great experience.” The film’s future journeys are still in the planning stages, but you can share the excitement now at the ArcLight screening. ■ IF YOU GO: Try the Do Ho Suh Trifecta: • See “Fallen Star: Finding Home” at ArcLight Cinemas, 4425 La Jolla Village Drive, 7 p.m. Thursday, May 5, (858) 454-3541. • Visit “Fallen Star,” on the 7th floor of the Jacobs School of Engineering, open to visitors 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Trip to Southeast Asia inspires young La Jollan BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Last March at the Mary Chapman School for the Deaf in Yangoon, Myanmar, 21-year-old La Jolla resident Spencer Kennedy had a life-changing experience. He was touched by the life of a five-year-old who received a hearing aid device two years prior to Kennedy’s visit and not only could hear and respond to sounds, but was able to recite the alphabet. “(He) was learning at a similar level to other children and socializing with them. Without the hearing aids he couldn’t hear at all,” Kennedy explained. Kennedy spent three weeks in Miammar, Cambodia and Vietnam volunteering with the San Diego organization Americans Helping Asian Children (AHAC). On the trip, he delivered scholarships, hearing aids and helped provide medical attention for children at risk. AHAC promotes two trips per year to Southeast Asia so volunteers can make sure the funds raised by the organization are used to help children who don’t have families, live in poverty or have disabilities. The volunteers pay for their own trips. During his visit, Kennedy had the opportunity not only to help others but see and experience a very different part of the world. “Even coming out of the cab I was overwhelmed with emotion; I was just seeing everything, feeling everything,” he said. Among the experiences he highlighted, was a ceremony he attended at a university

ceremony Kennedy also connected with a young man more or less his age, who showed him around and gave him insight into what it means to be a poor child in Southeast Asia. “He came from a very poor family, and he was able to study thanks to a scholarship AHAC donated … This had given him a sense of affirmation. He was very inspiring,” Kennedy said. Geoffrey Smith is Kennedy’s uncle and a retired doctor from La Jolla. Smith has been collaborating with AHAC since the 1990s, and more actively after he retired in 1999. “It’s a superb experience,” Smith said. He emphasized how more than 90 percent of the money AHAC raises goes directly to children in need. “Some charities have

advertising, marketing budgets … AHAC doesn’t. I like that a lot,” Smith said. It was Smith who encouraged his nephew to volunteer and funded most of Kennedy’s trip. The rest of his expenses were covered with the wages from his job at a hotel in La Jolla. Kennedy said he is getting ready to continue his higher education at UC Davis in the fall. He highly recommends other young people take a year off after high school and travel or volunteer before starting college. “This experience has made me mature as a person, and has elevated my determination and maturity in relationships,” he said. ■ WANT TO KNOW MORE?

Secret Sale at Athenaeum this weekend COURTESY

The City Ballet of San Diego is under the direction of Steven and Elizabeth Wistrich.

City Ballet to stage ‘Romeo & Juliet’

ity Ballet will present a full company production of “Romeo and Juliet,” complete with exciting sword fighting sequences, the famous ballroom and balcony scenes and flashy gypsy dances — everything audiences have come to expect of this romantic story ballet. Three performances are scheduled: 8 p.m. Friday, May 6 and Saturday, May 7, and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 8 at Spreckels Theatre, 121 Broadway, downtown San Diego. There will be an onstage Champagne reception following the Saturday performance. Tickets from $29 at cityballet.org

he Athenaeum Music & Arts Library at 1008 Wall St. will have its second “Secret Sale,” in which original pieces of art (that are currently on display at the Athenaeum) will be sold for the blanket price of $200. Starting 10 a.m. Saturday, April 30 interested art buyers will have the chance to take home art from well known — but at the same time some unknown — artists. In total, there are nearly 130 pieces available. Here’s how it works: Artists that have shown at the Athenaeum any time between 1990 and now were asked to create an original piece of art, which are on display until 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 29, but identified only by a number. Athenaeum Music & Arts Library Executive Director Erika Torri explained the name of the artist is written on the back, and hidden until the sale is over. Those interested in taking one of the gems

home may walk the halls and write down the number(s) of their favorites. Starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, the doors will open and those in line will have the chance to purchase their first choice piece. Should someone else have snatched the first choice, they can opt for their second or third choice and so on. All the pieces will sell for $200. “This will be the second time that we are doing this. We had the first Secret Sale in 2010 to celebrate our 20th anniversary of exhibitions in our expanded space, now we are celebrating the 25th upcoming Juried Show and all the exhibitions we have done over the last 25 years,” Torri said, via e-mail. “We have some well-known names, and I am so excited that they agreed to participate, like John Baldessari and Ed Ruscha and Mel Bochner and Terry Allen and more.” Questions?

Home Interiors—Choosing your Materials from the Ground Up In February’s column, I discussed what to consider when purchasing materials such as rooﬁng, siding, windows, and doors, and landscaping materials for the exterior of your building project. This month, the process shifts from the criteria of primary function, style, and quality to a set of more personalized and exciting decisions to be found when selecting your interior materials. Because interior materials are more about you, the decision making process becomes more personal and therefore more complex. Decisions, both large and small, inﬂuence

cost, style, and quality when selecting surface materials for flooring, countertops, and walls. Appointing architectural details, such as moldings, staircases, railings, builtin bookcases, and entertainment centers are details integral to the structure, while fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, and hardware are part of the furniture that will influence your overall budget and stylistic outcome of your home. Cost, style, and quality are three of the many factors that come into play when shopping for materials for your home building project. Therefore, it is best to plan carefully for this in your initial budget, as there are broad differences in prices for these materials. Our strategy at GDC is to appoint the entire project prior to breaking ground. Creating allowances in this design stage is critical to maintaining your budget and will provide for a cohesive design and smooth schedule. Whether your project is a traditional or contemporary style home, the material choices that contribute to the overall style of your home are endless. So let’s start from

the ground up and pose the question. How does you choose a floor surface? When shopping for flooring of any kind, you can visit showrooms to view completed floor sections and take samples home for review. This is true of wood, stone, tile, and laminate flooring, which all come in different surface finishes, colors, species, and price points. Characteristics vary dramatically with flooring, but durability, scale, and pattern are key factors to consider when appointing this material throughout the home. Today many homeowners are electing to put wood in the kitchen areas, as a continuum of the living room; however, tile and stone surfaces are more commonly used for their durability. Depending on your preference, tile and stone materials come in multiple sizes, finishes, and colors. There are many options to choose from, and these materials are often tied into wall and countertop selections in the bath and kitchen areas. A primary design consideration when selecting a floor, no matter what material

you choose, is the pattern. Wood planks come in sizes from 2 – 8” wide by 4’ – 10’ in length. Engineered wood, which is a 1/8” veneered wood species adhered to a board, comes in board lengths and can also be selected in a variety of patterns, such as herringbone, parquet, Versailles, and other decorative designs. Tile and stone flooring are typically found in a square format, although oblong, rectangular, and decorative shapes are also available. Here the application, size, and configuration of the room play an import role in the selection process. Scale is also an important characteristic to consider when selecting materials for your floor. Depending on the room, flooring should be considered as the base of your interior design, and the proper scale of decorative pattern, size, and shape are critical. In the next column, we will look at how interior architectural features contribute to the overall design and look of your home. For further information you are welcome to call us at 858-551-5222.

Ginger ‘Tea’

Spring Cleaning: ’Tis the season to detox

t’s time to detox with choice foods that cleanse from the inside out. Natural Roto-Rooters will rid the body of assorted toxins, create glowing skin, shiny hair, amp up digestion, the immune system, and energy levels. My favorite is a warm cup of lemon and ginger water in the mornings to clear my gut from anything naughty I may have indulged in the night before. My daughter was recently home for college spring break, and I noticed a bowl of lemon water on the kitchen counter that she had just prepared. Still warm, I poured it into a mug and started relishing the first few sips. She jarred me out of my seat while screaming not to drink the lemon water as she had just used it for a facial cleanser and foot soak! Here’s a lineup of some powerhouse detox foods for spring cleaning and beyond. Lemon Law: The lip puckering lemon, whether a Eureka or the mellower yellower Meyer variety is a rich store of Vitamins A, B6, C and E, along with folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, and antioxidant flavonoids. A few swigs of lemon water flavored with orange blossom honey and hibiscus, lavender or mint will flush toxins through your system, crank up liver function, immunity and digestion, ease the inflammation of achy arthritic joints, and

even help prevent crystallization that can cause kidney stones. Adding some drops of olive oil to the mix has also been linked to preventing gallstones and even tempering snoring. Pleasant dreams. Clove Cleansers: To ward off viruses, bacteria, inflammation, scratchy throats, colds and creatures of the night like mosquitoes and the occasional vampire, eat a smashed clove of raw garlic with your buttered toast about once a week on one of your stay-at-home days. Raw garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent sulfur compound that has been credited with having the power of killing 23 types of bacteria and assorted viruses, along with tweaking the liver to produce enzymes to help flush toxins from the digestive tract, making this “stinky rose” immune system’s best friend. A Head Start: Cabbage provides a phyto powerhouse of antioxidants, such as, Vitamin C, glutathione and anthocyanins (especially abundant in red leaves), along with mighty sulphur compounds. These help purify the blood, boost liver’s detox function, and rid the body of free radicals that cause assorted ills from arthritis and cancers to eczema and the gout. So shred some green or reds for coleslaw, probiotic kimchi or sauerkraut. Wrap leaves around various stuffings for cabbage rolls or whip up a pot of steamy sweet and sour

Ginger’s a natural remedy for all that ails you — from morning sickness and digestive discomfort to stuffy noses and scratchy throats. The Herculean spice gives a smooth, warm bite, while enlivening squash soups, stir-fries, roasted roots, nut breads and preserves, or this invigorating and detoxifying tonic to prep your body for spring training. ■ Ingredients • 4 cups spring water • 2 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled, shredded • 2 Meyer lemons • 1 lime • 2 tablespoons honey (Acacia, cabbage soup for a detoxifying oomph. Core Values: To paraphrase J.T. Stinson, “an apple a day, especially flavonoid powerhouses like Fujis, Red Delicious and Cortlands, keeps the doctor away.” These are particularly high in phlorizidin that stimulates bile production to help the liver slough off environmental toxins, food additives and metals. The fruit’s high pectin content also provides a digestive aid, while quercetin acts as a histamine buster to ease allergic reactions.

filtration. Turn Over a New Leaf: According to an ancient Chinese proverb, drinking a cup of tea will starve the apothecary. The leaves, especially the grassy green variety have a rich vitamin and mineral store packed with immune-boosting antioxidants, particularly catechins that put the skids on stress and inflammation, boost liver function, and reduce the risks of assorted cancers and cardiovascular disease. Use your Bean: The mung bean, a legume used by Ayurvedic healers for thousands of years is most popular in Indian and Asian dishes, both sweet and savory. Highly digestible, the magic mung like a sponge absorbs toxins from the intestinal lining.

Kitchen Shrink pays tribute to Prince with a ‘rain’ of purple foods BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN rince, the iconic pop star, who transcended generations with his electrifying performances has now saddened and shocked millions of fans by his untimely death. I’d like to pay homage to this Purple Rain vegan innovator with an A-list of purple foods that have rocked the culinary world. These jewel-hued beauties have a mother lode of phytonutrients called anthocyanins, which endow them with their brilliant colors, along with an antioxidant oomph to boost the immune system, temper inflammation, keep many cancers at bay, and protect cells from free radical damage. So purple up!

The Garden Egg

Eggplant is beloved throughout the lands from the exquisite “aubergine” central to many French dishes to Persian “badnjan,” the base for savory stews and dips. The eggplant is a true botanical berry rich in dietary fiber, calcium, folic acid, body balancing potassium, vitamins B1, B6 and bioflavonoids to put the skids on high blood pressure and stress. The nightshade is also rife with a potent antioxidant called nasunin that protects against cellular damage. Where possible, leave the eggplant unpeeled as the glossy purple skin has the greatest source of nutrients.

Quirky Carrots

Carrots come in designer shades of “Purple Haze” and “Atomic Red,” their original hue when they were first cultivated in Afghanistan 5,000 years ago. Dutch growers in the 16th century tinkered with mutant purple, yellow and white strains to produce the traditional orange carrot. Embrace the purple pigmented root that has less carb and sugar content than its orange sibling, and an abundance of beta-carotene, Vitamin A and anthocyanins that ratchet up

memory and vision, provide cardio-vascular protection, and help control inflammation and weight gain. Shred these violet gems in coleslaw (recipe below), green salads, taboulis and risottos. Roast with a drizzle of olive oil and Meyer lemon juice. Toss in your morning smoothie or crunch on them straight up with hummus or yoghurt dip.

The Mauve Clove

Hardneck or purple garlic imparts sweet rather than bitter notes to a variety of dishes, especially desserts and confections, along with breads, pastas, pizzas, soups and sides. The bright violet stripes or blotches surrounding the uniformly sized cloves are attributed to the rich store of anthocyanins that wards off assorted bacteria, viruses, and even the odd creature of the night.

Purple Potatoes

These vibrant tubers once considered food for the gods have dark purple skins with flesh of varying nuances from violet to lavender. Native to Peru, these spirited spuds were revered by the Incans thousands of years ago, and served to kings of their empire. They add eye candy, rich nutty flavors and loads of antioxidants (four times the amount of other potato varieties) to green salads and roasted root blends.

Best of the Bunch

Plump, juicy grapes in royal jewel tones of purples and reds are loaded with iron, fiber, folate, anti-inflammatory quercetin to reduce the risk of heart disease, lutein to boost ocular health, and bioflavonoids that pack a powerful anti-cancer punch. Grape skin, in particular, a bountiful source of resveratrol synonymous with wine has been found to weaken enzymes that stimulate cancer cell growth. Resveratrol has also been linked to longevity by the activation of three anti-aging genes.

Have you ever tasted the new purple carrots?

Recipe: Shredded Purple Carrot Salad

Candi DeMoura’s Holiday Food Drive collected 1,247 pounds of food, providing more than 1,039 meals to people in need.

Local Realtor collects 1,247 pounds of food for the needy FROM COLDWELL BANKER REPORTS Looking around La Jolla, it’s hard to believe more than 10 percent of San Diegans live in poverty. Local Realtor Candi DeMoura, who is affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s La Jolla office, holds a food drive every year to help make a difference. This year, she reports that she collected 1,247 pounds of food, providing more than 1,039 meals to people in need throughout San Diego County. “According to the latest estimates, more than 475,000 San Diegans live in poverty and almost 140,000 are children,” DeMoura said. “Every day these San Diegans often don’t know how or

where they will get their next meal. This is an annual event that I do and I’m excited about doing it for years to come. In the three years that I’ve been holding my food drive, I have raised more than 2,776 pounds of food.” During her Holiday Food Drives, DeMoura knocks on doors in the neighborhoods she works in to encourage the communities to donate food. In 2015, she knocked on more than 900 doors around San Diego County. For the past three years, she has donated all the food collected to the Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank.
