Where’s all the sand? First of a two-part look at La Jolla beach erosion
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A carpet of pebbles covers the sands of Tourmaline Surfing Park. The ocean washes the rocks at WindanSea. The waves dangerously approach Highway 101 at Torrey Pines. La Jolla beaches present an erosion level that has surprised residents and
visitors this spring. The La Jolla Light has received several letters from concerned beach-goers who want to know why their sandy, wide beaches have turned into narrow rocky corridors. We decided to look into it and shed light on the question: Should anyone do anything about beach erosion? Here’s what we discovered ...

and comes and goes with the seasons; that is nature’s way. During the fall and winter, sand is taken from the part of the beach where we walk and deposited deeper on the ocean’s floor. The next spring and summer brings that sand back to where it was. During El Niño years, the sand
retreat is expected to be greater than during a normal winter. Principal Regional Planner Robert Rundle, a sand expert at the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), explained how this happens every few years. “With El Niño we see a lot stronger SEE BEACH EROSION, A6

No dogs allowed ... or are they?
Government agencies offer guidelines on bringing Fido into public buildings BY ASHLEY MACKIN Since La Jolla Light readers are reporting with greater frequency, seeing dogs in public buildings (grocery stores, post offices, banks, department stores), we asked the County of San Diego to outline the rules on the practice. The Law and Service Dogs Service dogs that perform tasks to assist a person with disabilities are allowed anywhere their person goes. According to the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) publication on Service Animals, these animal are defined as “dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.” The regulation further states, “State and local governments, businesses and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is normally allowed to go.” However, the publication goes on to say service animals must be harnessed, leashed or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, “the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal or other effective controls.” Another document addressing Service Animals and the ADA goes on to explain, “In situations where it is not obvious that the
SUSAN DEMAGGIO
Whether or not dogs are allowed in public buildings depends on varied factors. dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: 1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? 2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff (members) are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person’s disability.” A service animal is not required to wear a vest, ID tag or specific harness. The Law and Support Dogs Concerning the issue of “emotional support” animals, often used by those with anxiety, depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the U.S. Department of Justice does not consider them to be service animals.
According to Department of Justice policy, the terms “emotional support,” “therapy” or “comfort” are “used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person. Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. However, some state or local governments have laws that allow people to take emotional support animals into public places. You may check with your state and local government agencies to find out about these laws.” No Dogs Allowed Near Food When it comes to dogs in places where food is sold or served, County Department of Environmental Health communications officer Alex Bell explained that as of last year,
dogs are allowed on restaurant patios, but dogs are not allowed in grocery stores, convenience stores and restaurants. The Guidelines for Allowing Dogs Into Outdoor Patio Dining state, “Patrons may only bring dogs into outdoor patio dining areas directly from outdoors. The dog may not go through any other part of the food facility.” However, “the presence of dogs in the outdoor dining area must not create a sanitation nuisance” and “Make sure your dog is well-behaved and on a leash. Food and Housing Division expects operators to exclude undisciplined, uncontrolled and/or aggressive dogs.” Bell added, via e-mail, “If customers observe a non-service animal within a food establishment, they can file a formal complaint by e-mailing fhdcomplaints@sdocunty.ca.gov or calling the complaint line at (858) 505-6903, and the County Department of Environmental Health will follow up. Dogs in Public Buildings “If there is no food being prepared or served — such as a bank for example — it is up to the business owner to allow dogs in or not. In any case, the dog has to be well-behaved and trained,” Bell explained. Patrons who wish to bring a dog into a business should look for signage that reads either No Dogs Allowed or Pet Friendly. — For more information, visit ada.gov

Residents want answers about broken beach stairs
Parks & Beaches group forms committee to investigate
BY ASHLEY MACKIN As the stairs leading to Horseshoe Beach — located between 100 and 200 Coast Boulevard — remain in disrepair and fenced-off to prohibit public access, the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory committee discussed the issue at its April 25 meeting. The questions confronting the board include when the stairs (which were destroyed during this winter’s high tides and storms) would be repaired? Who originally constructed them? What city permits would be required to fix them? What would be the cost and source of funding? “The stairs have been damaged beyond repair, which means they must be redesigned or re-engineered from the beginning,” said LJP&B chair Dan Allen, adding that any beachfront project requires a permitting and subcontractor selection process that could take years, which he said is “very unfortunate.” Further, Allen reported that in his communications with the city, he found that a private contractor associated with the nearby condo complexes might have constructed the stairs. If so, either the original engineering plans would have to be tracked down and evaluated, or new plans would need to be drawn up. “If the original plans were found, that would save a year,” Allen said. Either way, the project could take years. Opposed to such a timeline is nearby resident John Alexander, who spoke at the meeting. “We dream of getting the stairs put back in the next few months, but we’d like to see them put in sooner than later,” he said. “I think we should set up private fundraising and see if we can light a fire under this project.” He later told La Jolla Light, “The people who live near the coast have favorite beaches and they are dedicated to those
The stair access to Horseshoe Beach is fenced off for repair, but no one knows when the repair will take place. spots. I grew up on that beach, in that water and on that sand. It’s my beach. … I don’t want to wait years to go down there again. I cannot fathom why it is going to take so long, it’s mind-boggling to me.” After the meeting, San Diego Park & Rec district manger Dan Daneri told the Light, “When doing something like this, engineering could be complicated because the staircase is hanging off a seawall. You want to make sure it’s strong enough to hold on and withstand tides, winds and storms. It’s not like putting a straight set of stairs somewhere.” Over the years, when minor repairs were required to the stairs, the city carried them out, but thus far, a complete replacement was never merited.
Daneri said city departments are working to determine the cost and which permits will be needed, given the stairs are on the coast and contiguous with a walkway installed under the guise of the California Coastal Commission. Although the staircase is at the end of a Commission walkway, the stairs are not under the Commission’s jurisdiction. Marcia Venegas, California Coastal Commission coastal program analyst explained, “The walkway itself was required as part of a previously issued permit (around the 1970s), however, our records do not show anything about the stairs.” Because the departments (and projects) are separate, she added, “We have no way to compel the city to fix the stairs.

■ Board OKs sidewalk plans: During the March meeting, LJP&B approved, in concept, plans for the sidewalk associated with the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement Project. With formal renderings in hand, the board voted to approve the plans unanimously. The new sidewalk will replace the current dirt walkways along the parks of Whale View Point, and connect existing segments of concrete sidewalk with an ADA-compliant walkway. A schedule will be announced as soon as one is confirmed.
The walkways along Whale View Point will be replaced with an ADA-compliant sidewalk. We would support that they be replaced because it is an actively-used beach and it goes with our mission to provide public access to the coast.” Although there are other access points in the area, residents like Alexander still want this beloved path back. To the north, the nearest beach access point is at the end of the 200 block of Coast Boulevard. To the south, there is a driveway at White Sands retirement community and further beyond that is Marine Street Beach. However, Alexander noted, “All the kids park near Marine Street, so there’s no parking and no one wants to schlep their family’s stuff for miles. At Horseshoe, there is a lot of parking and the access is right there.”

To assist with funding and get the ball rolling, Alexander joined a LJP&B working group to investigate the origin of the stairs and be a liaison for city updates, and maybe raise private dollars. “I was going to set up a crowdfunding page … but if we do, we want to make sure whatever we raise wouldn’t just go to the city’s general fund, that it would be earmarked for this project,” he said. “The main reason I wanted to do that is to show the city that we are serious, we’re not just entitled La Jollans telling them what do to, but are willing to put up our hard-earned cash to get it done. If that fails, we will try to present the city with a public/private partnership idea and raise the funds, get an engineer to draw up plans, and give
■ Whale View Point ideas: Whale View Point project organizer Ann Dynes announced she intends to apply for funds from the La Jolla Community Foundation during its next grant cycle, which focuses on beautification (read more at sdfoundation.org/grantseekers). During a previous grant cycle, the Whale View Point Project was awarded $8,500. Dynes’ hope is that the next grant would fund new trash can lids that would be more resistant to weather, animals and rummaging, but still acceptable to the city and more similar to those found at WindanSea Beach. “They cost $68 a piece and we would need 70 (less than $5,000 in total ) to harmonize the trash collection units across the coastline,” she said. “To me they look a lot better and look more coastal, and don’t stick out so much.” A motion to support her efforts passed unanimously. ■ Children’s Pool Walk schedule announced: Allen said a notice to proceed on the Children’s Pool Walk beautification project will be posted May 2 and the permitting process will continue to Oct. 28. Plans call for improving and redeveloping the sidewalk area above Children’s Pool (aka Casa Beach), including adding landscaping and new sitting areas. The hope is to begin construction in April 2017.

storms so it exacerbates that natural occurrence,” he said. “However, not all of that sand will come back. If it surpasses the 44-foot depth level, the currents won’t take it back to the beach. So, most of the sand comes back, but there’s a part of it that gets lost every year.” In a natural undeveloped environment, that sand would be replenished with sediment carried by rivers and bluff erosion. In the past century, however, in the development of Southern California, dams were created on the rivers and houses were built too close to cliffs that would otherwise erode onto the beaches, so those sand supplies are lost.
Can we do anything about it?
The cities of Encinitas and Solana Beach
approved last October a 50-year plan to manage their coasts through beach nourishment that would cost $164.9 million. Beach nourishment is an artificial, man-made substitute to the natural replenishment of sand that places it on a beach after being dredged from elsewhere. There are “opportunistic” beach nourishment programs that use sand that results from different development projects, for instance the construction of the trolley in Solana Beach. The Encinitas and Solana Beach plans include a mix of opportunistic and non-opportunistic projects to maintain the sand level of their beaches in good condition. Marco Gonzalez is a long-time coastal conservation activist who was involved in this project from the beginning. “If we don’t replenish our beaches with sand, then the only option is to either build
A bit of history
The San Diego coastline has undergone two big beach nourishment programs in recent history. The first one, in 2001, placed 2.1 million cubic yards of sand in 12 receiver beaches, including Torrey Pines. At Torrey Pines, the beach fill consisted of 245,000 cubic yards of fine sand placed from April 6 to April 27. The second beach nourishment program happened in 2011 and placed 1.5 million cubic yards of sand on eight beaches for $26 million. This time, Torrey Pines beach was not included. La Jolla Shores has never been part of any nourishment programs, said Rundle. “We have never placed sand in La Jolla, that’s never been part of our program, primarily

What happens with the sand?
Torrey Pines Beach in May 2016 similar. However, the effects of the extreme erosion agent on West Coast beaches was very different from along the San Diego coast. Scripps scientists have analyzed the changes in sand levels on four San Diego beaches throughout seven years and linked that information to weather patterns. Three of those beaches — Cardiff, Solana and Imperial – received a sand placement in 2012, and the fourth one — Torrey Pines — didn’t. They found that the nourished beaches were far less eroded than those that weren’t. Scientists B. C. Ludka, T. Gallien, S.C. Crosby and Robert C. Guza wrote the paper “Mid-El Niño erosion at nourished and un-nourished Southern California Beaches,”
MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN
which was accepted into the Geophysical Research Letters journal on April 22. Their research suggests, Torrey Pines’ sand level descended 13 meters (42 feet) during the 2009-2010 storms. This measurement reached a minimum of minus-15 meters (-49 feet) after the 2016 El Niño storms. Under similar conditions, nearby beaches that received sand, like Solana and Cardiff, lost 6 meters (19 feet) of sand surface in 2016, considerably less than they lost in 2010, which was 22 meters (72 feet) and 15 meters (49 feet) respectively. Guza said he has concerns about the low levels of sand that Torrey Pines beach presents this year. “If you drive along Highway 101 you will see what I’m talking about; the beach is cut right through the
Around 50 leopard sharks were found dead April 12 on the banks of the Tijuana River. A sand blockage at the mouth of the river prevented the animals from swimming into the ocean. Guza said he believes this event is related to the 2012 nourishment programs. “In Imperial Beach, there was so much sand that I think it contributed to clogging the mouth of the Tijuana River,” he explained. Guza’s theory is that even if our perception tells us that nourishment sand is washed away from the beach, it doesn’t completely go away. Instead, the sand stays in the reach of currents before the 44-foot depth, where it can be naturally placed back on the beach. The scientists also maintain that placing sand on our beaches lends protection to our coast against El Niño episodes. “In February 2016, Cardiff, Solana and Imperial Beach, nourished in Fall 2012, were wider than 2009-2010 by 10 meters (32.8 feet) or more. Torrey Pines, nourished in 2001 … was eroded slightly below 2009-2010 levels,” they wrote in their paper. Not all the scientific community agrees with this notion. Gary Griggs is the Director of the Institute of Marine Sciences at UC Santa Cruz. His research is focused on the coastal zone, and he has published several papers about the quick disappearance of artificially nourished sand in Southern California beaches. He studied how sand vanished from the Torrey Pines beach after the 2001 SANDAG nourishment. “A detailed study of the Torrey Pines State Beach fill project was carried out as part of the post-nourishment
monitoring,” Griggs and Nicole Kinsman write in their report “Beach widths, cliff slopes, and artificial nourishment along the California Coast.” “The fill was stable for approximately seven months of low wave energy conditions, but was removed from the subaerial beach (exposed at low tide) within a day when the first large waves of the winter arrived, suggesting that there may have been a significant sand deficit extending across the entire beach profile and offshore,” they conclude. Although Griggs and Guza seem to disagree on sand nourishment, the truth is they’ve both found that placing sand on beaches helps having sandy beaches and seems to protect our shorelines from El Niño effects. The only point where they seem to disagree is on how long that sand stays in the system.
Is replenishment worth it?
Guza explained that to find out if sand nourishment projects are worthwhile, we should compare the costs with the benefits. “Nourishments cost money, they are not free; the sand is free, but you have to get it from miles away and that costs millions of dollars.” ■ Coming next week: In part two of this report, La Jolla Light will analyze the costs and benefits of a beach nourishment plan, its effects on the ecosystem, and much more. ■ Got photos to share?

Creator of the ‘Hockey Stick’ speaks at UCSD for Earth Day BY WALTER G. MEYER n an Earth Day talk at times funny and at others sobering, Michael E. Mann, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn State, issued a dire warning if climate change is not addressed with firm resolve in the near future. He spoke at UC San Diego on April 22. Mann was one of the creators of the 1999 graph that has become known as the “Hockey Stick” due to the abrupt upturn it indicates in the rise of the Earth’s temperature over the last 1,000 years. The graph became a key point of Al Gore’s argument for climate change and made Mann, like Gore, a target for critics who deny that global warming exists or that is man-made. “It is as settled as science can ever be,” Mann said. And that, “At these meetings, you won’t find people debating this,” referring to gatherings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He said the IPCC tends to be non-alarmist and bend toward the lowest common denominator, but he quoted from one of the reports that made their findings clear, “It is extremely likely that human influence has been a dominant cause of climate change in the 20th Century.” Although he has become somewhat of a lightning rod for those seeking to claim climate change is a hoax he said, “It’s convenient to portray the science as based on one person and one graph.” But said, “Now there is a veritable hockey league. There are now 78 authors from 40

Professor Michael Mann chats with attendees following his presentation. institutions that got the same answer.” When President Obama’s science advisor, Dr. John Holdren spoke at UCSD on Feb. 29, he also made it clear that there is no doubt left in the science community that climate change is real and man-made. Mann said that if you watch certain news networks or listen to certain radio shows, you live in a bubble that makes it seem there is some element of doubt to the findings, and accusing Mann and his colleagues of
fudging the data because, “There is all that money to be made in science.” It was clear that the Penn State professor has done a version of this presentation many times, enough to work in some laughs, including saying, “ ‘Predictions are hard, especially about the future.’ And that was Niels Bohr, that wasn’t Yogi Berra.” He referred to the Heartland Institute’s annual conference as “Denial-palooza.” And said he is proud that according them, “We have perpetrated the greatest hoax ever! We even got the oceans and polar ice caps to go along with it!” He said, “I used to end this sequence with the polar bear stranded on an ice flow, because it’s the law if you give a talk about climate change.” But he said, “In making the polar bear the symbol of climate change we have sort of conveyed to the public that this is an exotic, far-off problem. It’s not really a problem for me, now. But I talk about the negative impacts, where we are now, today. It’s disturbingly easy to do that.” He showed a dry lake bed in Texas in the worst drought on record. He also cited the extreme flooding in the U.K. and the severity of
Superstorm Sandy as being other indicators of how radically and rapidly things are deteriorating. When he showed a photo of Sarah Palin, the audience burst into laughter and he said, “Hey, I haven’t said anything yet!” Mann has dueled with Palin and other deniers on Twitter and in op-eds. The book, “Merchants of Doubt” by former UCSD professor Naomi Oreskes, showed the tactic attempting to discredit Mann and his fellow scientists is “an old playbook,” even using some of the same scientists deployed by the tobacco industry to cast doubt on the harmful effects of cigarettes. Mann said it is not only environmentalists taking the problem seriously: “The Pentagon is looking at worst-case scenarios.” The cost of preventing the problem is small compared to trying to protect cities including New York and Miami from rising tides and increased flooding. “When we are talking to events like Hurricane Sandy becoming an every three- or four-year event, we can no longer talk about adaptation, but retreat” from vulnerable areas. Mann told the audience that they were fortunate to live in California where Governor Jerry Brown “has been very proactive on climate change.” As the state suffers its worst drought in 1,200 years, it is hard to deny the very real problems that have been plaguing the region. “The Madhouse Effect,” Mann’s next book, will be out this fall and in the meantime, he SEE EARTH, A11

San Diego Blood Bank issues urgent plea for blood donations
T
he San Diego Blood Bank, primary supplier of blood to the majority of hospitals in San Diego County, is asking the public to donate blood in the face of a recent shortage of donations, which has put the blood bank and area hospitals in an emergency situation in the coming weeks. The drop in donations is due in part to the Zika virus travel deferral, which asks donors who’ve traveled outside of the continental United States to wait 28 days after returning to the United States to begin donating again. On average, the San Diego Blood Bank must collect a few hundred donations every day to ensure a reliable supply for local hospital patients. All blood types are needed. Current inventory levels for some blood types are at less than a 3-day supply, with the universal blood type, O negative at less than a 2-day supply. Standard inventory levels are generally at 5-7 days. “Our inventory is at dangerously low levels,” said Robert Baracz, marketing vice president. “We strongly encourage donors to visit any of our six donor centers or bloodmobiles and donate blood today.” To be eligible to donate blood you must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 114 pounds and be in general good health. For donor center and mobile drive locations and more information about SDBB, visit sandiegobloodbank.org or call 1-800-4MY-SDBB

Although he has not given up hope as some scientists seem to have — he even publicly chastised Bill Gates for saying the planet has passed the point of no return — he warned that major changes will have to come and very soon, or “it won’t be the planet that we grew up on.” Mann said his daughter cried when he

Duke’s La Jolla aligning with the surf scene BY CHRIS SAUR When Duke’s La Jolla took over the 1216 Prospect St. location formerly filled by the iconic Top of the Cove restaurant, general manager Shaughn Helliar, assistant general manager Alex Hoehn and the rest of the staff knew they had big shoes to fill. Now, six months after its Nov. 4 opening, Duke’s is flourishing thanks to friendly service, inventive cuisine, commitment to the community and, of course, the beautiful ocean views. “Obviously the views are insane, both top and bottom levels,” said Hoehn, who has been with the company (the T.S. Restaurant group that runs 14 eateries, including six Duke’s in California and Hawaii) since 1997, working mostly in Hawaii until coming over in July to open Duke’s in La Jolla. “It’s a combination of friendly, really great service, approachable atmosphere, gorgeous view and excellent cuisine. It’s a California fusion cuisine, Chef Sinsay is just a creative wizard and all of our restaurants are known for their fresh fish.” The first Duke’s restaurant opened nearly 30
years ago in Kauai, and they all pay homage to Duke Kahanamoku, a six-time Olympic medalist in swimming and a legendary surfer who is said to have pioneered modern-day surfing. “He was a humanitarian who was known for his aloha spirit. Our thing is to try and embody that,” said Hoehn, who noted that customers are greeted in the front of the restaurant by a huge statue of the Duke, who actually surfed in La Jolla at WindanSea Beach. “Each Duke’s restaurant pays homage to the local surfing crowd.” La Jolla is a very tight-knit community and people are very loyal to places that are good. We want to be that next restaurant. And we immediately got involved with the local community.” Before it even opened, Duke’s worked with La Jolla Shores Surfing Association on a beach cleanup in July and got involved in the annual La Jolla Pier-to-Cove Swim, which takes place in an area of the ocean visible from the restaurant’s outside tables. Duke’s is also one of the sponsors for the La Jolla Shores group’s annual Menehune Surf

The view, the vibe and the varied menu are keys to Duke’s La Jolla success. Contest, for younger surfers. This year’s event is scheduled for May 7. Urban Surf for Kids is another organization that Duke’s has helped sponsor. Inside the restaurant, Helliar and Hoehn have been rolling out more and more options for local diners to experience the great food and atmosphere, most recently opening for weekend brunch. “We are evolving,” Hoehn explained. “We started out with just dinner and then we opened up with lunch a month later. We first started with just the downstairs level and now we’ve got the upstairs going. People can book it for their own private events … and we open (the upstairs) up on Friday and Saturday nights too

now. The response has been huge. “We did our first brunch on Easter and it was a great success.” While brunch is available every weekend (Saturdays and Sunday’s from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), the restaurant is gearing up for another big one, this time for Mother’s Day on May 8. The fun atmosphere that day will include a photo booth for moms and giving away mimosas to mothers who get their pictures taken. — Duke’s, 1216 Prospect St., La Jolla is open weekdays at 11:30 a.m., and closes every day at 9:30 p.m. (858) 454-5888. dukeslajolla.com The Business Spotlight features commercial enterprises that support the La Jolla Light.

FROM LA JOLLA COVE, A1 “When my contact at the Health Department tested the water a week ago, he said if the bacteria levels are high enough during a subsequent test, the area would be considered ‘perpetually contaminated’ and the county won’t test it any more. It would just post the warning sign and leave it up. Right now, there is reason to believe there are high levels of bacteria there (attributable to sea lion waste).” Cove-goers still have the choice of whether to go swimming at The Cove, but at their own risk. In addition to the water, Harris cautioned about bacteria-laden waste in the sand. “The bacteria is working its way into the sand, where people visit and walk barefoot and kids play, so it’s like sending your kids to play in a litterbox,” Harris said, “And it will get worse because we have the big tides in the winter and rain, but we don't have them in the summer as things heat up. So the litterbox won’t be changed until next winter.” Because of their diet of oily fish, sea lion waste is often “runny and oily” and due to their size, (males can weigh 770 pounds) their excrement is “quite large,” Harris said. Adrianna Issakov, owner of La Jolla Swim and Sport, said she swims at The Cove almost every day and the sign has not deterred her swims, partly because of its lack of information. “Based on what is on those signs and where they are placed, it’s hard to make a smart decision as to whether to go in,” she said. “The signs are not placed where they are clearly visible. In fact, on my last swim, I didn't see the sign when I went in, but I did see it on my way out. Plus, there is not enough information on there, is the advisory due to rain, or sea lion waste, or what?” Community activist Bill Robbins, who frequents The Cove, said he and other swimmers are “upset” by the advisory, and

Is this what we think it is? Because it sure looks like sea lion waste on the steps at La Jolla Cove.
Beachgoers continue to enter the ocean at La Jolla Cove despite warning signs posted by county health officials.
believe the situation is only going to get worse. “We had over 100 sea lions on the beach one night not too long ago, so some swimmers are not going to The Cove anymore, and they’re going to places like The Shores, instead,” he said. While his own Cove swims have not been deterred by the health advisory, Robbins said he goes in with “a mask and snorkel.” He added, “This is not a good sign of what’s happening in that area. This is what happened at Children’s Pool (before it was closed completely).” One swimmer who has been deterred from swimming in The Cove waters is La Jolla
Cove Swim Club President Dan Simonelli. “It’s one thing to go down there after a rain (when there is germy runoff) and go swimming a little further from the coastline … but coming in and out — and if it’s continually contaminated — that is a real deterrent,” he said. The threat of bacterial contact is that much worse for visitors, Simonelli said, because they don’t know what they’re coming into contact with. “A lot of swimmers who frequent The Cove know what (sea lion waste) looks like and we look for those dark streaks and avoid them. But most visitors don't know what to look for, and they step in it barefooted,” he said.
Arguing there can be no other culprits than the sea lions that haul out there to blame for the increased bacteria levels at The Cove, Simonelli added, “It’s pretty obvious ... (due to the extended high bacteria readings) I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise.” — Ashley Mackin ■ Fellow La Jollans: Please send La Jolla Light your leads of Village eyesores and we will go after the perpetrators.

CRIME & PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS Police seek male driver wanted for questioning
A
41-year-old driver who fled police in La Jolla crisscrossed the coastal San Diego area for about 45 minutes before finally pulling over in the East Village and escaping on foot, San Diego police report. Patrol officers were responding to a request to check on Ahran Haugley's welfare when they found him sitting in a parked Honda Accord in the area of Caminito Eastbluff and Via Sonoma about 5:15 p.m. April 28, police said. Seeing police, Haugley drove off, and the officers followed and tried in vain to pull him over. Haugley is also wanted for an outstanding warrant. Haugley then fled to the north through La Jolla, speeding and driving so recklessly that police decided to back off the chase for safety reasons, San Diego police Officer Robert Heims said. Haugley continued to Del Mar and towards Solana Beach, police said before heading southeast toward downtown. A police helicopter crew watched as Haugley drove on city streets for several blocks and pulled into an underground parking lot below a multi-use building in the 900 block of F Street, Heims said, adding that officers converged on the structure and found Haugley's car abandoned inside. Police took up positions in the area and searched the
building and surrounding areas for the driver, but he was not found and the search ended about 7:30 p.m., Heims said Haugley is white, about 5 feet 6 and around 170 pounds, according to Heims. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans. Haugley was heading north on 9th Avenue when he was last seen. — City News Service
Lawsuit filed on behalf of hospital patients Denver-based Avery Law Firm, and Hillyward Wahlberg Kudla Sloane & Woodruff LLC, along with Kansas City-based Paul McInnes LLP have filed a lawsuit on behalf of patients at Green Hospital in La Jolla against Scripps Health, alleging patients suffered extreme emotional distress and bodily injury from exposure to HIV, Hepatitis B and C related to the hiring of convicted drug abuser Rocky Allen as a surgical technologist in the Green Hospital Operating Room. Allen was court-martialed and discharged from the Navy in 2011 for stealing and possessing Fentanyl with the intent to use it on himself while on duty in Afghanistan. He was hired at Green Hospital after that. The firms have also filed or initiated suits in three other cities on behalf of patients exposed at five other hospitals where Allen was employed. Approximately 5,000 patients are suspected of being exposed to infection as a result of
the employment at six hospitals. More information at coloradosuperlawyer.com or paulmcinnes.com

Ray Ellis: “The market wants an expansion of the convention center on the waterfront, and we need to be driven by the market.”
Barbara Bry got her biggest round of applause when she said she wasn’t endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce and the conservative Lincoln Club.
Kyle Heiskala has an interest in climate change: ‘There are houses in La Jolla Shores that are in danger to be underwater,’ he said.
Louis Rodolico told the audience, “I’m the guy who wants to build the Regents Road Bridge.”
District 1 City Council hopefuls face voters Clash over transit policies at meet-the-candidates’ forum BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Noting the absence of one District 1 candidate (San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner’s husband, Bruce Lightner), the other four candidates — Barbara Bry, Ray Ellis, Kyle Heiskala and Louis Rodolico stated their positions on a variety of topics in the people-packed community room at La Jolla Village Square on April 27. La Jollans will have the chance to vote for a new City Council representative in the June 7 Primary Election, as current council member Sherri Lightner terms out. Around 80 people attended the event hosted by the La Jolla Village Community Council, and their many questions about transit and transportation indicated a key issue of this campaign: How to shorten commute times. Bry, who has been endorsed by the San Diego Democratic Party, said that by using technology, we could get a lot of cars off the road in the next few months. Her strategy would be to encourage employers to subsidize workers who use Lyft and Uber carpool services to commute, and when possible, allow employees to work from home one day out of the week. Ellis said he’s waiting for the SANDAG traffic studies that are due out within the next month before making his recommendations, but in the meantime, he suggested synchronizing traffic lights to make traffic move faster. Ellis has picked up endorsements from the San Diego County Republican Party, the conservative Lincoln Club and the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. Heiskala, an aide to Council President Lightner, highlighted his experience at City Hall, and proposed extending local public transportation to make it a good alternative for commuters. Heiskala wants to build “bus rapid lanes” that run over or underground and are exclusive to bus transport. Rodolico was the sole candidate to voice support for the construction of the Regents Road Bridge over Rose Canyon. The project has been contested by environmentalists who want to preserve the canyon as is, and residents who believe an extra north-south artery in one of San Diego’s most congested
About 80 people packed the community room at La Jolla Village Square to hear the candidates speak.
Next Meet-the-Candidates Events
To put questions before the candidates for the District 1 City Council seat, you can attend the following free community events: ■ Monday, May 9: La Jolla Community Center presents its Distinguished Speaker Series with the candidates, 6-7 p.m. at 6811 La Jolla Blvd. ljcommunitycenter.org ■ Wednesday May 18: Congregation Beth Israel Dinner Forum, 6:30-8 p.m. at 9001 Towne Centre Drive.

areas will relieve traffic. Bry, Ellis and Heiskala support other alternatives to get cars off the roads and make San Diego more walkable and bikable. Rodolico repeatedly defended his plan, alleging that we need to build roads that “make sense.” Lightner, excused himself from the forum due to a family emergency. The La Jolla Light contacted him post-event to get his take on the transportation issue. Via e-mail, Lightner said he opposes the Regents Road Bridge, adding other ideas to the transit policy debate. “As a City we need to plan for and encourage the coming driverless vehicle revolution and entice companies, like Google, to invest in ultra-fast fiber-based Internet service here in San Diego (to achieve telecommuting jobs),” he wrote. Minimum wage San Diego’s proposal for a minimum wage increase to $11.50 in 2017 (and then tie it to inflation from 2019) will also be on the June 7
ballot. Political analysts called it the No. 1 issue in the District 1 campaign because this elected official could tilt the balance toward a pass or a fail in a City Council vote. The approval of a statewide minimum wage increase that will put the hourly salary at $15 in 2022 has overshadowed the citywide proposal. Three of the candidates (Bry, Heiskala and Rodolico) support the extra bump for minimum wage workers at the local level. Bry and Heiskala said the San Diego proposal also increases the number of earned sick days, while Rodolico said, “I would like to see San Diego go its own way.” Bry said increasing the minimum wage will help the homelessness crisis. “This is the least that America’s finest city can do for its workers,” she said. Ellis said he would vote “nay” to the measure. “I do not want to make San Diego less competitive,” he added.

Fire stations and police officer retention All the candidates were in favor of building new fire stations in the district and working toward better retention of police officers in San Diego. Before their closing statements, event host and treasurer of the La Jolla Village Community Council, Janay Kruger, reminded the audience, “One of these four people is going to be the most important person to the community for the next four years.” District One includes the communities of Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Mesa, Pacific Highlands Ranch, La Jolla and Bird Rock, Rose Canyon, lower San Dieguito River Valley, Sorrento Hills, Sorrento Valley, Torrey Hills, Torrey Pines, University City and UCSD. Postscript: In his April 29 column in The San Diego Union-Tribune, journalist and District 1 resident Logan Jenkins, who was at the forum, linked Kruger’s “four people” comment to conspiracy theories that Lightner’s candidacy (as a registered Republican) is an attempt to split the Republican vote to challenge an Ellis victory over Bry. However, Lightner rebuffed the thought, telling Jenkins he does not like candidate forums because they generate little or no interest. “You’re not going to change anyone’s mind,” Jenkins reports Lightner said, “in hot, stuffy rooms.” (Read the column online at http://bit.ly/1NXZGbU)

Ray Ellis ahead in fundraising for District 1 council seat race
T
he Jan. 1 to April 23 campaign donation period was dominated by the Republican-endorsed candidate Ray Ellis. During that period, he raised $175,993 — more than double what his opponent Barbara Bry reported ($83,223). The past campaign finance period, July to December 2015, Bry was also behind in fundraising, with $121,834 against the $188,189 that Ellis disclosed. The January to June 2015 period, both candidates raised similar amounts, Ellis: $151,611 and Bry: $138,892. Ellis wrote in an e-mail that he thinks most of his support comes from his experience as a community volunteer. “As a centrist, I am proud to have a broad base of support from business leaders, non-profit leaders, Republicans, Democrats and Independents,” Ellis wrote. Comparing the amount of cash they have in hand, ready to be spent on their campaigns, Ellis is also ahead with $198,925 compared to Bry’s $110,643. In a statement, Bry wrote, “Unlike our biggest opponent, we are running a grassroots, volunteer-driven campaign. We are spending wisely, our fundraising is on track, and our grassroots momentum continues to grow.” Ellis accumulated donations from 141 La Jolla residents during this period, and Bry 89, including a donation from Congressman Scott Peters (D). In his non-monetary contributions, Ellis counted a $1,395 donation in office furniture from the Republican Party of San Diego County. Their next report will be disclosed the Friday before the election. Candidates Bruce Lightner only reported a $500 loan to himself. Kyle Heiskala and Louis Rodolico reported total donations under $2,000. These three entered the race in the past trimester. — To access more details about candidate finances, visit static.netfile.com/agency/csd and click on “Campaign Public Access Portal.” —María José Durán

Appraisers evaluate La Jollans’ old books at library event BY SUSAN DEMAGGIO hen he signed up for the Antique Book Roadshow April 10 at the La Jolla Library, Ron Hurov was anxious to find out if his tattered copy of “A Naturalist’s Voyage ‘Round the World” (copyright 1875) was really signed by its author Charles Darwin. A graduate of Christ College (renowned for educating some of Cambridge's most famous alumni, including Charles Darwin and John Milton), Hurov said he didn’t want to sell the treasure, but only verify the signature within. “He said it wasn’t authentic,” reported a somewhat disappointed Hurov of the verdict by the representative from PBA Galleries of San Francisco (appraisers/auctioneers) who evaluated the tome. “But that’s OK, I wasn’t interested in selling it. I was in the Colonial Service and have acquired a few rare books.” Betty Little said she brought in an old book on artillery that she inherited. “West Point was established in 1802 and my great grandfather was a graduate, so that book was probably his,” she said. “PBA took it on consignment
W
for $350-$500 at auction (with a 17 percent commission) and told me there are a lot of people who would be interested in the information and calculations in that book.” Library volunteer and event organizer Jim Stewart said about 60 visitors stopped in for a free, informal appraisal that day and several patrons asked for PBA to represent them in a future auction, “which resulted in a large box of books returning to San Francisco. “Among the books brought that afternoon included an artist signed, limited edition Henry Moore retrospective; a seven-volume, limited edition history of California, signed by co-author James Copley (of Copley Publishing); a hand-printed 8- by 4-inch book from the early 19th Century; and many other keepsakes and family heirlooms,” Stewart said. PBA appraiser Gregory Jung said he was delighted the event “sold-out,” and enjoyed thumbing through the books presented. “We would consider an encore visit, but nothing’s been set up yet,” he said.

Support for artwork grows — Children from the neighborhood arrive last week to leave words of encouragement on artist Nasser Pirasteh’s wall at Nautilus Street and Avenida de Manana in an effort to help him keep his art sculpture up in his front yard.
JANE WHEELER
Nasser Pirasteh with the artwork in question at his La Jolla property.
Time to ‘Make Art, Not War!’
More support for artwork
“Without fine art civilization will die” is the core of Nasser Pirasteh’s art. He creates and shares his love of art for our community to see and experience. Residents of all ages have passed by the corner of Nautilus Street and Avenida Manana and felt the whimsy, delight and joy from his work. Having art alive in the community has created some of the most intriguing cities in the world — Barcelona, Paris and Rome, to name a few. Art is here to inspire and create wonder for all ages. It is expressed from the soul of the artist and flows out to affect the viewer in numerous magical ways. It is time for art to play an important role in our community and all communities so its transformational qualities can be expressed. It interesting that numerous McMansions in our Village and Bird Rock have been approved by the city, yet a simple Gaudi-like sculpture is threatened to be destroyed, one that a child would love to play in all day. The awe-inspiring Watts Tower Sculpture in Los Angeles was almost demolished, yet because community members loved it and fought for it, it’s now a place-maker for the area and an art center for the community, as well as a catalyst for change and gentrification. We should be grateful to have a fine artist like Nasser in our Village and embrace his art alive in our neighborhood. Please support him by signing the petition to save his sculpture, write him a letter, or sign your name and a message on his wall. To sign the online petition, visit bit.ly/artpetition Jane Wheeler Founder, Bird Rock Artist Guild
My name is Lily Gover and I’m in the fourth grade at the Gillispie School. On April 21 you wrote that Nasser Pirasteh has to tear down his structure at 6706 Avenida Manana or pay a $250,000 fee. Will you please write just one sentence in your next newspaper about how silly that is? I drive past it everyday on my way to school and think how pretty it is. Without it, that road would not be the same. P.S. I really enjoy reading your newspaper. It is so interesting! Lily Gover
One’s joy is another’s not-joy It is difficult to understand why anyone would object to Nasser Pirasteh’s work of art. It is always a joy to see what he has done to entertain us on our trips up and down Nautilus Street. I do hope there will be a solution in his favor. As for the complaint last week about the dogs in Vons, I am in the store at least once every week and I have never encountered an unruly dog blocking the aisle or making any kind of disturbance. Like Mr. Pirasteh’s artwork, the dogs always bring a smile to my face and a happier experience grocery shopping. There are many more important things to grouse about, for instance, those two monstrosities on Neptune, the ruination of the “living room” in La Valencia Hotel, and other large buildings destroying the Village atmosphere we cherish.

LA JOLLA LIGHT - MAY 5, 2016 - PAGE A27
OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Re: Dogs and art — The law is the law I agree that we in La Jolla have a “dog problem.” You can’t blame the dogs; it’s really about the owners. The owners, unfortunately, have become rather presumptuous and inconsiderate. So many of them allow their dogs to foul lawns, yards, etc. They also allow them to run unleashed on our beaches. And we all know that bringing dogs inside Vons (and many other stores) is against all health codes. Laws are laws; why do dog owners consider themselves exempt? With regard to the “art” at the Pirasteh house, it is obvious that this is a structure. This particular house is so out of character with the neighborhood that it doesn’t surprise me that Pirasteh would presume to place a monstrosity in his front yard for all to see, like it or not. The art we see around the Village is in a public place; Pirasteh’s is most definitely not. This is a residential area, not an art exhibit. Allowing an exception here will only encourage others to do the same, and this slippery slope is why the city should enforce its rules and regulations. Dog owners and homeowners are — surprise! — subject to the reach of the law. If they would only accept this, our neighborhood would be much improved. Bill Smith
Dogs have rights, too
judgments of the general public who tend to discriminate against people who bring dogs into stores. What gives people the right to judge someone based upon how they look as to whether or not they are legitimately disabled? Do you know the struggles some people endure on a daily basis? Surely not. How could you possibly know if someone is “feigning a disability?” This prolific ignorance is a problem in society. Instead of complaining about ADA laws that allow disabled people autonomy, why don’t you practice compassion? Chances are you know someone who is struggling with simple tasks that you take for granted, i.e., going to the grocery store. If a dog helps them achieve independence, why be so quick to judge? The Vons in La Jolla should be celebrated for its consideration in allowing dogs of all kinds. It is the only store I’ve been to where I’ve not been assaulted by ignorance when I bring my small service dog with me, and it is a respite from the publics’ judging stares. As for writing your Congressman to “insist on regulations regarding qualifications for service animals,” I say that unless you suffer from some serious dog-related affliction, you do something better with your time like educating yourself about invisible disabilities. Who knows? You might become part of the solution rather than the problem. More at invisibledisabilities.org, fmaware.org and ehlers-danlos.com Name withheld by request
New La Jolla mural clashes with Village
The majority of people who take their dogs into stores are people who care about their pets. They pick up after them, keep them clean and groomed, and train them to behave in public. On a hot day they don’t want to leave them in a car or tied up where they can be frightened or stolen. A toddler with a runny nose or dirty diaper can spread more germs on a grocery store cart than a leashed dog can by walking down a store isle. I hope store managers will welcome all customers, four-legged or two. Alicia Quackenbush
In tenor with the letter printed in the April 28 La Jolla Light issue, the mural outside the Galaxy Taco building at La Jolla Shores should be moved inside where it would harmonize and blend with the decor of the establishment. Outside, facing the seashore, it appears as a glaring affront to the tranquil ambience of our Village. John S. Armstrong
Discrimination doesn’t belong in stores
Cruelty to sea lions is truly inhumane
As a five-year resident of La Jolla and an individual living with an invisible disability, I’m compelled to share my perspective regarding comments about dogs in Vons. I am sadly not surprised by the harsh
A baby sea lion was born on the beach at La Jolla Cove Friday, April 29. What I witnessed after that both broke my heart and enraged me. A mob of tourists pushed in to take photos and selfies with a clearly
distressed mother sea lion. The lifeguards and Parks & Rec representative did nothing to intervene as dozens of people crowded in. One civilian gentleman begged the throng to back away but to no avail. At some point the mother seemed to reject the pup, no doubt, in part due to the human interference. I was later told that the lifeguards and Parks & Rec have been told to stand down and not intervene as humans harass the marine mammals because the powers that be want them gone. I have even witnessed a family petting a sick and starving sea lion too weak to even lift its head in protest. I rushed over to tell the lifeguards at The Cove and they simply shrugged. Surely the good people of La Jolla do not support this level of animal cruelty. Janet St. Aubin Webster, New York
Sea lions are not the problem I’m a 28-year resident and business owner in La Jolla, and yes, I could do without the stench, but not at the expense of having the sea lions driven away. I’m a believer that the stench comes mainly from the aviary friends that populate the north side of The Cove, where we feel it the most. The sea lions have made The Cove their home and they are a main attraction for tourists in the Village. I propose an experiment be done: Limit the birds from occupying the area north of The Cove to see what the results will be. Open that area to the public and place picnic tables there so people would be attracted to it. Of course it would have to go through some real cleaning first! This would perhaps drive the birds away further north. The sea lions are not the problem! Norma K.

Time to curb events in La Jolla It seems to me that La Jolla hosts a disproportionate amount of so-called “special events” that disrupt traffic, not only to and from La Jolla, but also inside La Jolla itself. It is not only aggravating for La Jolla residents, but also for the people who are trying to enter La Jolla and for those trying to get around once in La Jolla. It’s time for other places in San Diego to do their share of hosting so-called “special events” and to bear some of the disruptions that these events cause. I’m sure their merchants would also like a share of this pie! IB

Community Center to host lost art history series
Traffic board waiting for city’s Fay Avenue Bike Path report La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation (T&T) advisory group is expecting – any time now – a presentation about the Fay Avenue Bike Path. A slate of safety tips was introduced by representatives of La Jolla’s Parks & Beaches committee, and the T&T board is waiting for a presentation from the city about what is feasible to improve safety in the area. “We found out there is a man with the city named Brian Genovese, who is the Bike Path Coordinator, and he has agreed to evaluate the situation,” said T&T chair Dave Abrams. “We had hoped to have some input by now, but that is not the case. He’s the one would determine which safety enhancements, if any, would be implemented.” Agendas for T&T’s monthly meetings are posted 72 hours in advance at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. or lajollacpa.org

Couple donates $11.8M to UCSD Health for geriatric ER UC San Diego Health announced an $11.8 million gift from local philanthropists Gary and Mary West to create a senior emergency care unit at the Jacobs Medical Center, which is under construction in La Jolla. The unit will enhance care for older adults and be located within the future emergency department, which will be named for the Wests when the Jacobs Medical Center opens in the fall, according to UCSD Health. UCSD will also form a multi-year medical research initiative in partnership with the West Health Institute. The donation was split into two parts — $6.3 million from the Gary and Mary West Foundation to create the emergency care unit, and $5.5 million in planned research funding from the West Health Institute. "Mary and I are committed to helping seniors age successfully with dignity, quality of life and independence," said Gary West. "We believe health care specifically tailored for seniors, especially geriatric emergency care, is critical to achieving these goals." The Wests also support a senior wellness center in downtown San Diego that serves low-income older people. According to last year's San Diego County Senior Health Report, the number of residents 65 years and older is projected to double by 2030, and those 85 years and older are projected to increase by about 41 percent. Last year, patients 65 and older represented 24 percent of total emergency department visits at UC San Diego Health. —City News Service

KINDERGARTEN ART PROJECT T
o raise funds for the La Jolla Elementary School gala April 30, each classroom donated a piece of student-created artwork for the auction. I lead the project for my son’s kindergarten class, choosing a Japanese style shibori-dyeing project. The students wrapped, clipped and bound up pillowcases using twine and PVC pipe, binder clips, wooden shapes and tongue depressors, rocks, cable ties, etc. and dyed them in a vat of natural indigo (the color traditionally used to make shibori textiles). They really enjoyed the project and their favorite part was removing their fabric from the dye to find it was fluorescent yellow. Once the oxygen hit it, the color slowly changed to indigo. A few days later, the students opened their creations as a group to reveal the designs. I took this photo March 25 at The Wedding Bowl (in La Jolla’s Cuvier Park) to showcase their creations. My husband and I had been scouting a good location for the shot, but when my kindergartener, Rhett, and I were in the backyard of the Contemporary Art Museum, we saw those two trees and thought “perfect.” I met many locals while setting up and that was nice because we’re new to the area. Morning walkers loved the pillows (and they loved my patient baby in a stroller). A metal print of the photo was up for auction at the fundraiser, titled, “We’re the Kids in K1.” The pillows all sold for $50 each (most were purchased by parents of K1 students). They were a hit! — Nicole Pugh

Scripps unveils new Point Loma marine facility
O
n April 15, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and UC San Diego cut the ribbon on the new Nimitz Marine Facility in Point Loma. More than five years in the making, the revitalized facility includes $20.9 million worth of improvements, including a new pier, new wharf, better berthing, upgraded utilities and environmental protection systems. Built by Marathon Construction Corporation of Lakeside, and local subcontractors, the
project includes a 30,000 square foot waterfront “terminal” consisting of a 307 lineal foot wharf and a 365 lineal foot pier and pier utilities including electrical, mechanical, communications, wastewater and fire. The facility will house the UC San Diego Scripps Ship Operations and Marine Technical Support, and operate deep-sea research vessels on behalf of the entire University of California system. “The Nimitz Marine Facility is now well
positioned to serve as America’s finest oceanographic support center for the next half-century and beyond,” said Bruce Appelgate, head of Scripps Ship Operations and Marine Technical Support. For more than 50 years, the Nimitz Marine Facility on San Diego Bay has served as the homeport and operations base for the Scripps academic research fleet. Home to research vessels Roger Revelle, Robert Gordon Sproul, and research platform FLIP,
the facility serves as a coordination center for research operations around the world’s oceans as part of Scripps/UC San Diego’s ongoing effort to understand and protect the planet. Later this year the facility will welcome the arrival of R/V Sally Ride, America’s newest research vessel, named for the former astronaut and UC San Diego professor by the ship’s owner, the U.S. Office of Naval Research. —Scripps Reports

In addition to the musicians new to the festival this year, 2016 will mark the first SummerFest for La Jolla Music Society’s new president and artistic director, Kristin Lancino. The former artistic director for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and director of artistic planning at Carnegie Hall, Lancino calls overseeing SummerFest “a huge privilege.” Lancino last fall succeeded Christopher Beach, now LJMS’s Theatre & Development consultant, closely involved with the ambitious Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center project on Fay Avenue. The future home of SummerFest and other LJMS concerts and events is slated to open by summer of 2018. As such, Lancino has her eye not only on this summer’s festival but on the future. “With any festival there has to be an evolution, not a revolution,” she said. “We have to think about the next five to 10 years. What do we want to be then? And how does that integrate with The Conrad?” In the meantime, SummerFest 2016 begins with its free “SummerFest Under the Stars” program on Aug. 3 at La Jolla Cove. The concert will include the San Diego Youth Symphony’s International Youth Symphony and the unpredictable string trio Time for Three, which performs everything from classical to hip-hop. What’s most important to Lancino, she said, about this outdoor event is its engagement with the community. “It’s as much about sharing with the community as it is about great music,” Lancino said. “That’s a very important

Among concerts Lancino is looking forward to is “An Evening with Marc-Andre Hamelin,” whom she calls “a monster pianist who also composes.” This

1) What is your child's age? Children under age 7 may not adjust easily to being away from home. Consider the day camp experience to prepare them for future overnight camp. 2) How did your child become interested in camp? Does your child talk about camp and camp activities on a sustained basis? How much persuasion is necessary from you? 3) Has your child had positive overnight experiences away from home? Visiting relatives or friends? Were these separations easy or difficult? 4) What does your child expect to do at camp? Learning about the camp experience ahead of time allows you to create positive expectations. 5) Are you able to share consistent and positive messages about camp?

Secret Garden Tour includes six La Jolla gems, May 14
T
his year’s Secret Garden Tour in its 18th year is anticipated to raise $60,000 for the La Jolla Historical Society and will provide beauty and inspiration to all who participate. The tour is set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 14, with six “secret” La Jolla gardens to be revealed the day of the event, open for viewing. The theme is California Living in Outdoor Rooms. In each garden, there will be an artist working on a painting of that location, a musician playing tunes, and a tabletop arrangement done by various designers. Following the tour, the paintings crafted during the tour will be on display at La Jolla’s Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. for about a month. There are three levels of participation on the Secret Garden Tour . The $150 Platinum Tour ($140 for Historical Society members) starts with brunch at La Jolla Country Club,
transports participants to each garden on a small bus, and includes an extra (seventh) garden, exclusive to Platinum Tour Ticket holders. Alternatively, a self-guided tour is available for $50 ($40 for members). On the self-guided tour, participants drive themselves from garden to garden in the order of their choice. The self-guided tour check-in is at Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St., where participants receive a map of the garden locations and the wristband necessary to gain entrance. The free level of participation is The Secret Garden Boutique at Wisteria Cottage, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Open to the public throughout the day, vendors will be on hand to sell gardening accessories, plants and gifts. A portion of these proceeds will also benefit the La Jolla Historical Society. — Get garden tour tickets at (858) 459-5335 or lajollahistory.org/events/secret-garden-tour

Create a garden anywhere with straw bales BY MELINDA MYERS dd productive garden space and raise your planting bed with straw bale gardening. This technique allows gardeners to create raised bed gardens on a patio, lawn or any area with poor compacted soil. Straw bale gardening has been around for centuries, but thanks to Joel Karsten’s book “Straw Bale Gardens” it has gained new popularity. All that is needed are a few straw bales, fertilizer, a bit of compost and time to condition, plant and water the garden. Be sure to purchase straw bales made from alfalfa, wheat, oats, rye or other cereal grain that have less weed seeds than hay. Start a few weeks before the designated planting date. Place the bales in their permanent location with the cut sides up and twine parallel to the ground. Once you start the condition process, the bales will be very heavy and hard to move. When the bales are in place you are ready to start the conditioning process. This is done to start the inside of the straw bales composting, so they’ll support plant growth. On day one, spread fertilizer over the top of the bale. Use a ½ cup of a complete garden fertilizer or three cups of an organic fertilizer like Milorganite (milorganite.com). Then completely moisten the bale. The organic fertilizers feed the microorganisms that help decompose the straw into a nutrient rich planting medium. SEE STRAW BALES, B15

What is biltong? La Jolla is about to find out
First stop New York. Next up La Jolla. Jonty Jacobs is executing a cross-country business expansion, unveiling its product to the hungry West Coast. And if New York was any indication, it won’t take long for the only U.S. provider of the full, customto-order biltong experience to take off. What is biltong? Glad you asked. Utilizing traditional South African curing methods which have been perfected over hundreds of years, Jonty Jacobs brings you the finest quality of dried beef products on the market. “Whatever you do, don’t call it jerky,” says owner Camran St. Luce, who started the purveyor business with his wife Monique. If you haven’t heard of biltong, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Jonty Jacobs specializes in satisfying the need for natural, untainted and delicious beef products. While relatively unknown to most U.S. consumers, biltong (dried beef slices) and droewors (dried beef sausage) are traditional beef delicacies that originated in South Africa. What makes them truly unique is that unlike other biltong providers, Jonty Jacobs provides customers with a fully customizable experience. You choose the cut, moisture, fat content and slicing style as well as additional spice options. Jonty Jacobs is an all-natural, grass-fed, U.S.-made and USDA-approved cured beef snack range. Like many great businesses, it was borne out of the need for market innovation. Monique – a South African raised in Australia who relocated to New York in 2010 – was disappointed by the lack of delicious, natural biltong in the American supermarkets. So she made her own. Biltong is available in two cuts: Traditional includes the fine layer of fat which maintains the meat’s tender, natural flavor and a lean cut for more health-conscience consumers. The products are made by fine cuts of beef and rubbed down with vinegar and spices prior to being hung for natural drying. “Unlike many beef jerky products
flooding the U.S. market, Jonty Jacobs biltong and droewors do not contain chemicals / additives and are not cured using sodium nitrates,” Camran said. Biltong is ideal for any gourmet meat enthusiast whose refined palette appreciates the tender flavors of beef without unnecessary additives. Here are some of the primary benefits of biltong, according to the company: • “Clean” food available in grass-fed and Kosher • Gourmet beef snack with 54 percent protein • Ideal for low-carb, high-protein diets • USDA-approved and made in USA • Zero controversial ingredients, including MSG, sodium nitrate or artificial colorings Customers have several choices to make when ordering biltong. First, do you want regular beef, grass-fed or aged? Do you want it lean or traditional, which is the fattier option of the two? Do you want it shredded, sliced paper-thin or served in larger chunks? Regular beef biltong is $40 a pound and the prices increase from there. As for the taste? Biltong is nothing like jerky, Camran says. Its flavor and texture are closer to steak. Jonty Jacobs urges its customers – who can order online or in-store – to keep the products refrigerated after opening. Their use-by dates vary from three months for the biltong slices to six months for the sausage. The products are made fresh to order, so the company recommends ordering for timely consumption. For ordering questions or to learn more about the company, call 858-750-2501, visit www.jontyjacobs.com or stop by the new La Jolla location on Prospect Street.

Mother’s Day breakfasts around the world
G
rowing up, my mom would reiterate with Queen Solomon wisdom the proverb, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper,” as she prepared morning feasts several days a week. For all the thousands of breakfasts your mother has made for you over the years, it’s time to reciprocate. Take her tastebuds on a global adventure with this line-up of some favorite foreign (and domestic) breakfasts you can whip on Sunday, May 8, and throughout the year.
A Yen for Japanese Eats
A breakfast from the Land of the Rising Sun starts with a steamy bowl of miso soup accompanied by grilled fish, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) or a raw egg, pickled vegetables, seasoned nori (dried seaweed), natto(fermented soybeans), rice porridge, and a cup of antioxidant-rich green tea. And don’t forget to teach mom how to use chopsticks!
Le Petit Déjeuner
While French cuisine tends to be rich and heavy, a customary breakfast is a light and petit offering, more sweet than savory, too. A café au lait or chocolat chaude (hot chocolate) might be paired with a mouth-watering brioche, a pain au chocolat (chocolate bread), a flaky almond croissant, a tartine (buttered baguette with
preserves) or a chausson aux pommes (apple filled Danish). Surprisingly, French toast did not originate in France, rather regional recipes filtered through the borders over the years from ancient Rome to Spain, Germany, and even the court of Henry V. And yes, the French adapted a version that salvaged stale bread called pain perdu, which translates to “lost or wasted bread,” that would otherwise be thrown out. Bon appétit!
Beyond the Kibbutz
A typical Israeli breakfast is a harmonious blending of the flavors of Europe and the Middle East that pleases a wide range of palates, along with the ethos of locavores who enjoy the sustainability and seasonality of fresh fruits and vegetables. The centerpiece of the savory breakfast is a confetti of raw vegetables, and a variety of olives and sprouts. The salad is complemented by protein sources of hummus, hard-boiled eggs, sardines, herring in a wine or cream sauce, and lox or smoked salmon. To round out the meal an assortment of breads and crackers, like pita and bagels is served. (See FreeRangeClub.com).
A Jolly Good Show
A conventional British brekkie might include beans, bangers and mash (sausages and mashed
■ Ingredients: 1 can fava beans; 1/2 small onion, diced; 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1 Meyer lemon, juiced; 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper; 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and more for drizzling; Sea salt to taste; 2 scallions, halved; Tahini sauce. ■ Method: In a small saucepan, sauté onion in olive oil until translucent. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the beans with its juice, and blend in

potatoes), rashers (slices of bacon), really runny sunny side up eggs mopped up with buttered toast or crumpets, followed by sweet scones and a strong cup of English breakfast tea. Cheerio!
Mamma Mia – When in Rome
Italians start the day with caffè latte, which translates to “milk coffee,” or an espresso accompanied by a flaky pastry or a crispy golden toast called fette biscottate. In some parts of Italy like the Tuscany region, a glass of Chianti is served for dipping these crunchy biscuits to reduce the need for dental visits.
The Canadian Way, ehh!
onions, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, and seasonings. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with olive oil and tahini sauce, if desired, and serve with warm flat bread and chopped scallions.
Our neighbors to the north might serve a hearty plateful of sweet and salty dishes, including creamy porridge or oatmeal, poached eggs, pea-meal bacon, flapjacks drizzled with pure Canadian maple syrup, and a cup of orange pekoe tea.
Whip up a batch of traditional Russian pancakes called oladi. Soft on the inside, crisp on the outside with a sour tang from the kefir yogurt and vinegar, they’re divine topped with fresh berries, sour cream and honey.
A Yankee Doodle Dandy
Some good all-American celebratory breakfast choices might include almond butter and jelly stuffed French toast, veggie egg scramble with home fries, thick cut bacon, a double stack of buttermilk pancakes, and a bagel topped with cream cheese and lox. Mimosas and coffee will wash it all down nicely.
A Pharaoh’s Repast
In Egypt the taste buds are awakened with a traditional dish of foul mudammas — a savory blend of small fava beans with herbs and spices, drizzled with golden olive oil and tahini sauce.

FROM TYPEWRITERS, B1 Public type-ins, buzzing with typewriter lovers inviting passers-by to try out their machines and join the fun, are being held throughout the world. In Santa Cruz, the “Love Letters” event held by Santa Cruz Writes, a grassroots nonprofit, pairs participants with writers, who type a love letter or poem. In Nebraska, tens of thousands gather annually throughout the state to type “valentines” that flood local post offices. An eBay search will reflect this cultural shift. Most collectibles in working order will run you $150 to $200 or more, and that’s without shipping. “I’ve had so-so experiences with eBay. Most typewriters aren’t as described, or need cleaning or are damaged during shipping,” says Ernst. Plan on spending $40 or more for a typewriter bought online. Ernst charges $80 or more, depending on condition, for a cleaning, which may take days. Keep in mind that similar work on your typical PC will cost twice as much.
Back to basics
What’s in it for you? Why buy a relic when you’re just hunky-dory with your newfangled computer? You can’t do social media, send e-mails, browse the Web or play games. It’s backwards, man. Precisely. Web browsing can be a hazard for writers. You write a sentence or two, get stuck and start wandering. You visit Facebook, maybe start tweeting. You shop at Amazon or eBay, maybe dash off an e-mail or two. You play some poker. Time passes and the writing

You didn’t even get a graph down and you’re pooped. You can’t cheat a typewriter: You get it done or not. To my left there’s a stack of yellow paper, which Mickey Spillane said enhanced focus, and on my right is a sheet of typed paper. That’s what I have to show for three hours’ work. Results are easily quantifiable. Writing tends to get pared down with a typewriter. You’re more deliberate with word choice. You learn economy. You kill adjectives. You simplify.
Ralph Ellison and Tennessee Williams used an Olivetti Studio 44. It’s a sleek manual typewriter favored by writers who need to crank out pages. Francis Ford Coppolla Cormac McCarthy favor the Olivetti Lettera 22.
That’s not entirely accurate. Typewriters invite a free-flow of words; after all, that’s how we got Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.” (Kerouac wrote the manuscript on a 120-foot roll of paper. He used an Underwood Portable). Typing often prompts stream-ofconsciousness writing. Unlike hyper-editing common with computers (writing, rewriting what you just wrote, tweaking it, adding or deleting sentences, shifting paragraphs and so on), typing is about getting the message down and worrying about condensing and cleaning up later.
It’s a markedly different approach to writing and editing that requires an adjustment period. For the first weeks, you’ll probably be overanalyzing as you type. Relax: edit and tighten later at ease. It may require additional typing, but that’s part of the fun.
‘Dirty some paper’
When I began my career in journalism in the ’80s, a grizzled reporter advised that the only way to overcome writing blocks was to “dirty some paper.” He wrote his literary investigative pieces on a typewriter.

www.lajollalight.com Writer’s block was why I turned to typewriters again. Or maybe it was laziness. I’m working on two manuscripts. One is a book of fly-fishing stories; the other, a book of poems about dealing with loss while maturing as a fly-fisher. Both had progressed nicely (I had 12 stories and was closing in on the book of poems) until the rigors of work and the daily three-hour commute undermined my writing schedule. The manuscripts languished. After a month of attempts, I couldn’t even complete the first paragraph of my latest story. I remembered that while working in Palm Springs, I used to write late at night on an old electric typewriter. I liked the physicality of typing, the staccato of the keys, the bell at the end of the line. It hummed under my fingertips like a live wire. I bought an Underwood Standard from Stears and, in a moment of weakness, an Underwood Champion from eBay. It’s in excellent condition, but as Ernst warned, it needed a cleaning. When I returned to the store, I played with the Olivetti. I typed a few sentences, marveling at its crispness. My finances were shaky, but I bought it. In love, go for broke. Some typewriters are like that: they fire off your synapses — searing the black holes in your creative recesses. The more I type, the tighter a manuscript gets. It’s like stretching a drum’s skin.
You’re my type
It hasn’t been as tidy as that. I still struggle to find time and energy to write (T.S. Eliot said poets need a certain amount of laziness), but find I’m doing more of it since I started using a typewriter.
LA JOLLA LIGHT - MAY 5, 2016 - PAGE B15
Part of that may be because I don’t have a printer hooked up in the house (I have a brand-new Canon wireless, but I’m still recovering from the hour or so it took me two years ago to set it up over the phone) and have regained my fascination for the printed word in terms of its immediacy in my writing. I like to see my thoughts in Pica type, and I love the messiness of a rough draft wounded by strike-throughs and a fountain pen. The clack of the keys striking the platen (that’s the rubber spindle) makes me want to write more. I even started typing my to-do lists on index cards. Writers like the sound of their machines: Henry James allegedly asked someone to type on his beloved Remington as he lay dying. Every typewriter has a unique personality. Find the one that jives best with you. I shelved the Underwood Standard after a few days because it’s too bulky and sluggish for my tastes. The Olivetti is compact and jaunty. The former is film noir; the latter, Technicolor. Don’t feel bad about buying several machines during your quest for “the one.” Compared to a state-of-the-art computer, they’re relatively cheap, rarely break down and may boost your creative currency. They may give traction to your book or play, and add a new aesthetic to your creative life. — E.A. Feliu is a copy editor and page designer at La Jolla Light, and author of a poetry collection, “Postcards from the Tattooed Man’s Chest.” Edwin Feliu
The idea for straw bale gardening is centuries-old, but making a comeback! FROM STRAW BALES, B9 Thoroughly soak the bale everyday. On days three and five you will add more fertilizer at the same rate used on day one. Days seven through nine use half the rate used on day one. This would be ¼ cup of a complete garden fertilizer or 1½ cups of an organic fertilizer. Thoroughly water the bale each time. On day 10 you will add one cup of 10-10-10 or three cups of an organic fertilizer rich in phosphorous and potassium. This completes the conditioning process. Bales treated with a complete fertilizer should be ready to plant. You may need to wait a few more days when using an organic fertilizer. The inside of the bale should be the temperature of warm bath water or cooler for planting. If it is hotter than this, wait for the bale to cool a bit before you plant. Use a trowel to pry open a hole in the bale. Place the plant in the hole and cover the
MELINDA MYER
roots with potting mix or compost. Create a planting bed for seeds by covering the bale with a one- to two-inch thick layer of planting mix. Follow the planting directions on the back of the seed packet. Regular watering is critical for success with this method. Soaker hoses or drip irrigation make this an easier task. You can also use gallon milk jugs with holes in the bottom or inverted two-liter soda bottles placed near the base of each plant to provide water where it is needed. Give your straw bale garden a nutrient boost about once a month or as needed throughout the growing season. Follow these steps and you’ll be well on your way to growing a productive straw bale garden to enjoy throughout the season. — Gardening expert Melinda Myers has more than 30 years of horticulture experience and has written some 20 gardening books, including “Small Space Gardening.” Reach her at melindamyers.com

Soliloquies and Self Talk: Absentminded Habit or Powerful Tool of Self-Control? Anyone who has taken even a 10th grade literature course has come across a Shakespeare soliloquy at some point. Richard III goes through the list of all the reasons for his discontentment then boldly declares he will be a villain. There are seven soliloquies in Hamlet in which he walks himself through more possibilities than a Rube Goldberg Machine. And the Macbeths talk to themselves through everything they do. Perhaps most memorable is the example of Juliet, who uses logic and reason to validate her love for someone her family
wants her to hate. Many teachers (and others) have declared the soliloquy to be a necessity of the stage, calling it a precursor to voice over narration. The characters are only thinking these things. But what if they’re not? What if Shakespeare, over 400 years ago, understood the power of self-talk? Flash forward 400 years to the work of leading expert in the field of self-talk, Ethan Kross, director of the University of Michigan’s Emotion and Self-Control Lab. He describes “self-talk” as the running monologue that we have with ourselves most of the day. Mentally working through the scenarios, whether asking ourselves where we left our keys, saying the steps of a recipe while we make something, or whether we should kill the usurper king of Denmark—and especially going through the scenario out loud—actually helps us to focus. Saying a word out loud helps us to keep an image of that object in our minds, which often helps us find the object more quickly. But Kross wanted to take this further, to see how self-talk could make
us, without sounding like something out of pop-psychology, more confident and in control. Kross conducted a series of experiments studying how people conducted their soliloquies. The most significant observation was not only the internal monologue of self-talk spilling into open speech, but the way in which successful people used it. They spoke to themselves in the third person, using their own names. During Kross’s study, people who spoke to themselves using I or me tended to become more flustered and have a diminished performance on a particular task, or found difficulty in overcoming a problem. Those who used their names to talk themselves through the same tasks or problems in a self-advocating manner had success rates that shot through the roof. While some self-talk can become negative, especially for those trapped in a cycle of self-defeat, self-talk itself is not an optimal solution. We learn self-talk as babies, babbling, then repeating sounds and words, and then walking (or singing) ourselves
through various steps in the education process. Positive and negative feedback then influence the ways in which we continue this self-talk; children who hear they aren’t good enough or are doing something wrong will often tell themselves they can’t complete a task because of this negative feedback. The corollary is that positive feedback fosters positive self-talk. This continues as we age. Negative feedback can be rewired with positive self-talk. What is impressive is how this can be achieved through switching to the third person. It’s a way to toggle how we can address the self. Switching our selfaddress is the same as flipping a switch in our amygdala, which controls our fear, and our cerebral cortex, which controls thought. These switches can increase or lessen the intensity of how we feel about a situation (or our sense of self within that situation).

‘Pride and Prejudice’ spin-off proves mother knows best La Jollan pens ‘Mrs. Bennet’s Sentiments’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN Those who’ve read Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” might remember focal character Mrs. Bennet, a woman described as “of little information” and perhaps perceived as melodramatic. She says things that mortify her five daughters – each with a different personality and at different stages of their lives – and is seen as the fool of the family. But that was then. Now, La Jolla resident and executive artistic director for Vantage Theatre, Dori Salois Salerno, has written a “Pride and Prejudice” spin-off from the perspective of Mrs. Bennet – and mama is no fool. Available at amazon.com “Mrs. Bennet’s Sentiments” explains the “method to her madness,” the author said. “I re-read ‘Pride and Prejudice’ recently and there was a section that seemed different this time around. Darcy was making fun of country families and Mrs. Bennet called him out on it, and her daughters disregarded her with the all-too-familiar eye-roll. But I thought, this mother is telling the truth. It made me think that maybe there was another reason for her to act the way she does besides just being ridiculous,” she said. For example, in the classic story, Bennet’s youngest daughter runs away with someone and rushes into marriage, which elates her mother despite the fact that the groom is a
‘Mrs. Bennet’s Sentiments’ by Dori Salois Salerno “terrible person,” she said. In her spin-off, Salerno takes Bennet’s joy at the situation as a cover-up. “Mrs. Bennet might have thought if she acts embarrassed, everyone will know this is a scandal. So maybe she thought, ‘I’m going to celebrate and be happy,’ so no one thinks twice. So there’s a reason and a method to her madness, not just ignorance.” Salerno began to draft a version of the book in 2010, but it fell to wayside between college visits for her own daughters and theatrical productions. But when she had the time, she would look at the five daughters
COURTESY
Austen wrote into her novel and the types of personalities they possess – one dreamy, one sarcastic, one wild, one intelligent and one emotional. Drawing from her own experience and watching moms in her circles of friends, Salerno looked at how different parents handled those personalities, and wrote it into her book. “I based a lot of this on the mothers I’ve met in La Jolla … they are all in there in the way Mrs. Bennet interacts with her daughters. The mothers here in La Jolla are very strong and have different modes of mothering, so I used that to give Mrs. Bennet
the tools to support her daughters in whatever their needs are,” she said. “In fact, I saw one of them at the grocery store and she asked what I was up to these days, I had to tell her she was in my book!” Although written from the perspective of a mother, Salerno assures that both mothers and daughters will be able to relate to the themes in “Mrs. Bennet’s Sentiments.” “Most of us have or had teen-age daughters and they’ll all recognize some moments,” she said. “She is good to her daughters, but her daughters are not so good to her. But then they come together.” Salerno added that the only frustrating part for young women who have read the book, is that the mother is always right! A derivation from Salerno’s regular medium, “Mrs. Bennet’s Sentiments” is the first book by the 30-year resident of La Jolla. As the Executive Artistic Director of the Vantage Theatre, her most recent works include Lynne Kaufman’s “Be Here Now: The Journey of Ram Dass” at the OB Playhouse and Joel Drake Johnson’s “Rashida Speaks,” a 2015 nominee for Best Off-Broadway Play, held at a makeshift space at the La Jolla Congregational Church. Next for the artist is a “massive” production that will combine “Cadenza: Mozart’s Last Year” and “Mozart’s Requiem” with orchestra and choir. “It will be a huge undertaking. I’d like to have it in La Jolla, but we’re still in the ‘we’ll see’ stage,” Salerno said. Beyond that, perhaps a sequel to “Mrs. Bennet’s Sentiments?”

Empty Bowls soup lunch set for Saturday in La Jolla
T
he 10th annual Empty Bowls San Diego will be held to raise funds for those who are hungry and homeless from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, May 7 at the La Jolla United Methodist Church, 6063 La Jolla Blvd. Guests choose a bowl from hundreds on display for $20 and then have it filled with delicious soup and bread, donated by several La Jolla restaurants. After enjoying the simple meal, guests take their bowls home as a reminder that their donation has helped to fight hunger. All bowls were handcrafted by local potters during a recent “Bowlathon.” Event proceeds will be donated to Third Avenue Charitable Organization (TACO), which has been feeding the hungry, the homeless and the elderly in San Diego for 41 years. tacosd.org Empty Bowls is an international fund-raising program that began in 1990 when a high school art teacher in Michigan and his students were searching for a way to earn money for a food drive.

NASA’S GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER/COURTESY
Get up close and personal with the sun in ‘Solarium,’ one of the immersive cinematic experiences at ArtPower’s day-long Filmatic Festival May 7.
PIERS MUSSARED/COURTESY
Take a virtual reality journey into the Australian outback with ‘Collisions,’ a film about culture clash that combines cutting-edge technology and powerful storytelling.
High-tech multimedia to dazzle the senses at Filmatic Festival BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT If you’re ready for some really new cinema, featuring the latest developments in virtual reality and immersive storytelling, put Saturday, May 7 on your calendar. ArtPower’s third annual Filmatic Festival will be a 12-hour adventure in science and art at UC San Diego’s Qualcomm Institute. Led by Rebecca Webb, ArtPower film curator and Filmatic Festival founder, the 2016 festival will showcase multimedia works that draw the viewer into the worlds of Australian Aboriginals (“Collisions”), Dinosaurs (“Jurassic World: Apatosaurus”); Mongolian yak-herders (“Nomads: Herders”) and outer space (“Irrational Exuberance”). You’ll be able to track the path of an asteroid, follow a drone through an extensive system of caves, and stare at ultra-high-res NASA images of the sun in Solarium. And that’s not all. See digitally-animated Chinese calligraphy set to music, play “Marble Tracks,” an interactive 3D puzzle game, and experience Mass Effect, a new
generation of 4D sound. “VR is really a nascent technology, and we’re just at the very beginning, not just in cinema, but in science and medicine too,” said Webb. “We’re presenting cutting-edge work at the festival, and providing immersive encounters with the possibilities of this exciting new medium.” The key word, she said, is “immersive.” She compared the effect of Filmatic’s room-scale installations to the early days of cinema, “the way the train feels like it’s coming off the screen and right at you.” While some, but not all, of the pieces will require donning headsets, the festival itself will be “a transformative experience,” a stunning glimpse of the new audio-visual frontiers that are opening wide. Are you ready for the Visual Revolution? Don’t miss the panel discussion at 7:30 p.m., with some of VR’s hottest movers and shakers telling you everything you didn’t even know you wanted to know about VR and presenting their visions of cinema in the 22nd Century. After dark, you can bliss out in the Qualcomm Institute
tunnel of lights and geek out at Gareth Walsh’s three-channel, video projection-mapped universe, Ursa Major, as it turns Tim Hawkinson’s 180-ton “Bear” sculpture into a spectacle of light, optical illusion and movement. Then join the celebration at an after-party, with food trucks, craft beer, a slo-mo video booth, and ongoing demonstrations and performances until 10 p.m. May 7 will be a full day of total immersion in high-tech, multimedia razzle-dazzle that may change the way you think about the future, and the present, too. And you don’t have to be a college-age techie to have fun at the festival. If you’re anywhere between 10 and 100, you’ll surely find something that will blow your mind. ■ IF YOU GO: Filmatic Festival 2016: Art of Science and Cinema, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, May 7 at Qualcomm Institute at UCSD.

Globe drama offers inside peek into history at Camp David BY DIANA SAENGER Plays based on history are appealing to diverse audiences. Mature people who were around that time can identify with what was happening in one way or another. Younger playgoers can come to understand more of something they’ve heard about or wish to know. Such is the case with The Old Globe Theatre’s Arena Stage production of Pulitzer Prize winner Lawrence Wright’s new play “Camp David,” directed by Arena Stages artistic director, Molly Smith. Camp David revisits the turbulent 1970s when a much needed peace in the Middle East was about as possible as money growing on trees. Director Smith deftly guides the four actors representing those charged with such a heavy mission. Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin will be portrayed by Broadway veteran Ned Eisenberg (“Golden Boy”). Tony and Emmy Award nominee Hallie Foote (“ividing the Estate” on Broadway and at The Globe) steps into the shoes of Rosalynn Carter. Anwar Sadat is portrayed by award-winning Egyptian actor and activist Khaled Nabawy (“Kingdom of Heaven”). Richard Thomas returns to The Globe after his phenomenal role two years ago as Iago in “Othello,” as President Jimmy Carter. Thomas admitted he was somewhat nervous when he performed the role for the “Camp David” world premiere in Washington, D.C., with President Carter in the audience. In an interview, Thomas said playing a

The West Coast premiere of Lawrence Wright’s Camp David, May 13 to June 19, at The Old Globe Theatre. living character is always a unique task because you have some kind of obligation to not imitating the person. Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein said he finds Wright’s work exciting and moving and sees issues that Carter, Begin and Sadat wrestled with in 1978 are still present today in the Middle East. The subject, and Wright, were the main reasons Thomas took on his role, he said. “I love the play and playwright Larry,” Thomas said. “I’ve read his terrific plays and his pieces in The New Yorker over the years. He’s a journalist, playwright, screenwriter, and I knew he knows this stuff, especially about this part of the world.
“When I read this wonderful play, I was astonished at the depth of the dramaturg and the dramatic qualities of the piece. He definitely has a gift.” It’s a thing about a play based on history that the ending is not a surprise. However, Thomas said this play has so much suspense and a feeling of what’s going to happen — yet it might go another way. “That’s another beautiful slight-of-hand that Larry performs,” Thomas said. “Carter was having a rough time as president so this was probably the task most dear to him as he tried to affect peace in the Middle East. Not only is he having trouble on the domestic front, but he’s doing this thing that
everyone thinks is a pipe dream and wishes he wouldn’t give his time to because the deck was stacked.” Thomas finds it ironic that there were three heads of state spending 13 days in a private place with no press. “Can you imagine that happening today?” he said. “Yet all three men, particularly Carter and Sadat, were so strong ... the difficult process of getting an agreement was long, so it was a tribute to all of them that they didn’t give up. “Rosalynn Carter was a big part of this action. She could do what the men couldn’t and became kind of a peacemaker between the peacemakers (‘which Larry likes to say’). Sadat got along great with Carter; they were like brothers, and their wives got along beautifully. “Rosalynn was able to move between the three men and not just mollify, but listen to them and bring as much as she could to the conversation. She helped to drive Jimmy. Not so much as a facilitator, but an active member of the negotiations in terms of force. It was her idea to do the peace talks at Camp David.” He added, “The need for resolution of problems stands out in this piece. I’m happy to be here with a good play, back with Larry and Barry, and to a place where I feel safe and had wonderful experiences.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Camp David,” runs May 13-June 19 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

A life-threatening accident could have kept surfer Joey Converse from ever walking again. As he dove under a breaking wave last summer, it drove him right into the sand, breaking his neck. Lucky for Joey, he was rescued by two off-duty EMTs and taken to Scripps where an expert trauma team gave him a second chance at life. After two spine surgeries and extensive physical therapy, he was able to walk again — down the aisle as best man at his brother’s wedding. Stories like Joey’s show why Scripps has been named one of the Top 15 Health Systems in the Nation by Truven Health Analytics — the only health system in Southern California to make the Top 15 list this year. To learn more about Joey, and how he is celebrating his recovery, go to Scripps.org/JoeyConverse.

Student Chamber Opera Premiere
UCSD grad students to stage ‘Noon at Dusk’ BY WILL BOWEN Kallisti, the vocal ensemble lead by UC San Diego music professor Susan Narucki, will present the world premiere of “Noon at Dusk,” a chamber opera created by graduate students Stephen Lewis and his wife, Yi Hong Sim, 7 p.m., May 11, 13 and 14 in the Experimental Theater at the Conrad Prebys Music Center on campus. This opera is the latest in a series of important premieres by Kallisti, which have included Viktor Ullman’s “Der Kaiser von Atlantis” in 2012 and Anthony Davis’ “Lear on the Second Floor” in 2013. Narucki, who founded Kallisti in 2009, said “one of the missions of Kallisti is to bring new and distinctive operas to life.” Kallisti has also staged classic chamber operas, like “Three Penny Opera” by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weil, which met with enthusiastic response. Narucki explained that a “chamber opera” is similar to a regular opera, except that it has a smaller cast and fewer accompanying musicians. “Actually some of the very first operas, like those of Haydn, were chamber operas, put on in small intimate settings,” she said. “What I most like about them is that they give the audience a chance to experience the beauty and power of the human voice in close proximity.” Narucki said she named her chamber opera ensemble “Kallisti” after the Greek “Golden Apple of Discord” (signifying beauty), which the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite fought over. “What I wanted to express is that even though some music may be discordant, it can still be

Ashley Cutright beautiful!” Narucki said. Lewis, who is working on a doctorate in both musical composition and piano performance at UC San Diego, wrote the score for “Noon at Dusk.” His wife, Yi Hong Sim, also a graduate music student, wrote the libretto. Narucki said this is the first time that Kallisti has presented the work of graduate students, but “that makes this collaboration very special and quite exciting.” Lewis said the couple’s inspiration for creating the opera, “was born out of issues that intensely affect our lives together as we enter a very challenging job market and face difficult choices. But even as we search for our physical home, we have begun our creative home together in this opera.” The opera is a story of two young couples at the turning point of their lives, torn between the lure of ambition and the ever-changing possibilities of love. The first couple is Elliot, an entry-level product tester, played by Jonathan Nussman, who meets up with Lisha, played by Hillary Young, for a first date which goes

very well for both. But then Elliot is offered a promotion by his sinister boss, played by music professor Philip Larson, which would involve a move away from Lisha. Elliot must decide what is most important to him — his job or his budding relationship. The second couple consists of a librarian, played by Kirstin Wiest, and an architect, played by Ashley Cutright, who’ve been together for a long time. But in a similar vein, Cutright’s boss, played by Tiffany Du Mouchelle, is offered the chance to design a building far away from home and she too must
decide her course of action. The opera could be classified as a kind of psychological futuristic romantic fantasy, set in the year 2030. Although it is a “new music” production, it is quite lyrical and highly enjoyable, chiefly due to composer Lewis’ admiration for opera greats, Wagner and Puccini. The story has a sci-fi twist because the device Elliot has been testing, although meant to only photograph a person’s silhouette, actually captures their essence and turns it into a living souvenir! The crew for the opera includes guest conductor Dana Sadava, who
turned to music after earning a degree in engineering from Cal Tech. She is currently artistic director of the Pasadena Opera. The sets and lighting were designed by Jessica C. Flores who said she will be projecting giant shadows on the stage by way of light passing through a “diorama” of the characters in the production. Annie Le, a graduate student in the theater department, designed the costumes. "They are a futuristic alternative reality, creating a sense of allure and attraction in the dark world of this play," Le said. A series of background videos of close-ups of the singers will also be projected onto the stage, created by Jason Ponce. Narucki, who usually sings in Kallistri’s productions, stepped back to serve as stage director. ■ IF YOU GO: “Noon at Dusk” will be performed 7 p.m., May 11, 13 and 14 in the Experimental Theater at the Conrad Prebys Music Center on UCSD campus. Parking is available across the street from the theater in the Gilman Parking Structure for a small fee. Tickets: $15.50. (858) 534-3448. music.ucsd.edu

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,524,822.87 If the Trustee is unable to convey title
If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 012050-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 CLEAR RECON CORP. 4375 Jutland Drive Suite 200 San Diego, California 92117.

RoBowties finish third in robotics championships The La Jolla-based team The RoBowties took third place at the World Championship FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competitions in St. Louis April 27-30. Comprised of high school students from La Jolla High School, The Bishop’s School, High Tech High in Point Loma and Maranatha Christian School in 4S Ranch, the team includes: Max Sun, Anna Azeka, Owen Gallahue, Isabelle Ho, Erik Holm, Alex Azeka and Macky Broido. In the world championships (and the qualifying matches that lead to it) the RoBowties engineered a robot, which they named Hugo, to complete certain tasks and challenges autonomously and through remote commands. A similar judging and competition framework was used for the West Super-Regional (where 72 teams from the Western United States competed to advance to the World Championship). At the qualifying contest, the students had program Hugo to move across a 12-foot by 12-foot field, pick up and move an object and climb two mountain-like structures. The top 3 percent of teams worldwide qualified to advance to the World Championship. In St, Louis, RoBowties ranked second of 64 teams after qualifying matches in the Edison Division, and won third place overall in the Finals. RoBowties were also recognized for their creative booth design based on the 2011 movie “Hugo,” tying for second in the Crowd Favorite Pit Design contest.

Maxine and Marti Gellens
COURTESY
Team Gellens No. 13 in nation FROM BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES REPORTS axine and Marti Gellens consider themselves lucky people, so it’s only fitting that they’re ranked “Lucky” No. 13 nationwide within Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices top agents, for the second year in a row. With more than 40,000 agents in 1,200 offices throughout 47 states, the ranking among the elite top-producing agents is formidable. “We’re lucky and we work hard,” said Maxine Gellens. “We have fun doing what we do; if we didn’t, I don’t think we’d be as successful.” Added Marti Gellens, “We are thrilled to be No. 13 in the nation and could not have done this without our amazing clients and team.” From selling the most Girl Scout cookies in her Girl Scout troop, to selling the most Diane Von Furstenberg dresses at a high-end department store, Maxine has always had a knack for selling. It was only a matter of time before she and Marti would become the dynamic duo that they’ve been over the last 22 years. Maxine and Marti have always been ranked near the top and were No. 1 in the country in 1994 when they joined forces, and again in 1998. Maxine and Marti Gellens are well-known residential coastal real estate agents based in La Jolla. They have sold thousands of homes in San Diego County.
