BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Plans for a new $1 million day spa attached to the La Valencia Hotel were approved at the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) meeting, May 4. Dubbed “Spa La V,” the facility will occupy the three-story house at 1125 Coast Blvd., which is owned by the Hotel and located next to the staircase that connects Prospect Street to Coast Boulevard. It will be open to the public. If all proceeds on target, work will start next month for a grand opening in December. La Valencia Hotel managing director Mark Dibella told La Jolla Light the intention is to have a grand opening on Dec. 15 — the Hotel’s 91st anniversary. Nearly all the remodeling work for Spa La V would be to the interior, including adding a new elevator and spa facilities. The exterior work would include adding a new deck, privacy walls and entry court, along with modifications to select openings. The color and style of the building will keep the current aesthetic pink “where possible.” Project plans were previously heard and approved by La Jolla’s Planned District Ordinance committee. The item was presented for full LJCPA review largely to answer questions about potential historicity. Dibella, along with designers and architects, attended the meeting to speak about their respective contributions. SEE SPA LA V, A10

La Jolla cyclists talk biking around town Potholes, angry drivers, infrastructure woes are the complaints

La Jolla cyclist Charlotte Norton, 11, still rides her bike to and from La Jolla Elementary School, in spite of an accident last month when a motorist hit her and sped off. BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN -year-old Charlotte Norton of La Jolla was biking home from school at 3 p.m. Thursday, April 20 when she got hit by a car at the intersection of Pearl Street and the alley where she lives, south of Draper Avenue. “I was about to turn and all of a sudden the car just rear-ended me. I fell over, scratched my leg a little bit and bruised my knee. … I couldn’t see the license plate at all, and I’m not sure if they just

Charlotte is one of many cyclists who responded to a Light call for testimony on the safety and convenience of navigating the 92037 ZIP code on a two-wheeler.

On some streets of La Jolla, new homes keep getting bigger, maximizing the allowable floor area, and dwarfing other homes nearby.

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A group of La Jollans called Citizens for Responsible Coastal Development (CRCD) are proposing a new era for construction projects in La Jolla. Their proposal, which is now being distributed among community groups, has the potential to change the way new building projects are done in the Coastal Zone and solve the problems contractors and neighbors have been complaining about for years — if it garners enough support locally and,

eventually, from the San Diego City Council. The proposed Coastal Development Permit (CDP) exemption, which pertains to coastal single-family residential areas within the La Jolla Community Plan, offers a “fair, predictable and cost-effective review process” based on an incentive system that rewards good design practices with extra square meters for over-the-counter building permits.

UCSD downsizes Marine Conservation facility plans to add more ocean view BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Following a less-than-stellar reception by the La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) in March, plans for the UC San Diego Marine Conservation Facility were revised to create more of an ocean view around the proposed development. The updated plans were presented as an information item (not subject to a vote) at the LJCPA meeting May 4 and include: reducing the length of a canopy that cantilevers out over the rooftop café, reducing the height of a second story, and removing a cluster of non-native trees to create more of a view for pedestrians. The project calls for the conversion of the former National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and Southwest Fisheries Science Center buildings on the northern end of the campus, into laboratories for Scripps Institution of Oceanography students, and the addition of a two-story building and a café. Architectural firm Safdie-Rabines, who designed the nearby Caroline’s Seaside Café, also designed the new facility. The $22 million project, paid for with campus funds, is expected to start construction in October and be complete one year later. The current footprint for the project includes the vacant and seismically retrofitted “Building D” (as it’s known) and the base for “Building A,” which was partially demolished, leaving only the first floor. When it was introduced in March, board members expressed concern over losing some of the view from La Jolla Shores Drive, and hesitated to take the university at its word that what was being presented was what would be built. “We wanted to let you know we listened to your concerns and we believe we heard many of the comments in the room and have made modifications to the project,” said Anu Delouri, UCSD assistant director for communications and community planning. “Since the last time we were here, we’ve reduced the height of Building A (additions), reduced the length of the canopy and opened up additional ocean views.” Added Robert Cloissin, director of UCSD campus planning,

“The university owes us some view back. They took views from us and did not tell us the truth. They owe us something for that,” he said. As an offer, Cloissin said he would install story poles to show height of planned work as plans get closer to construction. He also invited interested parties to participate in a walk near the site to get a better sense of the scope of work, details of which have yet to be decided. The project must still be approved by the California Coastal Commission, but it will be discussed informally at the next meeting.

■ Sound wall discussion revived: Residents of Ardath Road, hoping for noise abatement from the volume of traffic on La Jolla Parkway (which runs parallel to Ardath Road), asked that the plans for a “sound wall” be readdressed. In 2015, plans for a sound wall extension along La Jolla Parkway made the rounds at La Jolla Community Planning groups, gaining support at La Jolla Shores Association and La Jolla Town Council, but raising eyebrows at La Jolla’s Traffic “After the March meeting, we met with our architect team to & Transportation board.

FROM CONSTRUCTION, A1 In July 2015, an ad-hoc subcommittee formed out of La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) determined to end the “mansionization” of La Jolla, namely the building of houses that are out-of-character and too big for their neighborhoods. Before it disbanded in February 2016, and started proceeding as CRCD (without the constraints of the Brown Act), members found their enemy had a nickname, the “50 percent rule.” In the San Diego Municipal Code, the 50 percent rule is defined in article 126.0704, “Exemptions from a Coastal Development Permit,” as: “The demolition or removal of 50 percent or more of the exterior walls of the existing structure.” This, according to CRCD member Diane Kane means, “If you are keeping at least 50 percent of the exterior walls at an existing home, you don’t need a CDP.” For Kane, the problem came when developers started interpreting the rule in more “liberal” ways. “Since the coastal zone was enacted in the 1970s, what we call the 50 percent rule has turned into complete tear downs where people are keeping two walls of studs, and they’re building completely around it with entirely new homes. So the reality is almost nobody is going for a CDP.” The number of projects the community group overseeing most of La Jolla’s development permits (Development Permit Review committee) reviews has sunk in the past few years. As La Jolla Light previously reported, in 2015 the committee reviewed a record number of projects (36), five more

walls each time. But, for him, the worst part of the current exemption, is the lack of options for good design. “There are design principals you want to employ, but you’re handcuffed by this crazy set of rules from the City. And that’s the most frustrating part, because almost every client wants to desperately avoid what’s becoming a more costly process, which is financially crippling to a lot of clients. It’s time to find something that’s better,” Golba concluded.

A long-awaited solution

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

This ‘remodel,’ underway at a single-family residence on Fay Avenue, includes ‘demolition, addition with existing attached garage, remodel of the remaining first floor and second floor completely new addition.’ (Source: opendsd.gov) than the year before (31) and since has been declining, with 22 project in 2016 and so far in 2017 three projects have come forward for review, one of them being an application to convert existing dwelling units into condominiums. Developer Tim Golba, who has collaborated with CRCD on the proposal, articulates a different point of view. In his experience, the cost of a CDP has risen from $10,000 to $12,000 (10 years ago) to $30,000 to $50,000 today for a single-family residency, factoring in fees, consultants and other costs associated with supplying the

information and complying with the requirements. “From my clients’ perspectives, they see (a CDP) as a major impediment to move forward, so they look for exception criteria to avoid it. The current system the City has, and it’s been on the books for a long time, is the 50 percent rule,” he told the Light. Golba admits to having used the 50 percent rule many times but, in his words, the exemption is “ripe for abuse.” One of the ways the rule is abused, he explains, consists of completing a total teardown in two or three 50 percent remodels, keeping half the

The proposal, named “Incentive-based zoning for coastal development,” suggests giving “over-the-counter” permits to all developments in the coastal, single-family zone under 0.4 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The FAR shows the relationship between the constructed square footage and the size of the lot. (The allowable FAR for most of La Jolla is 0.6.) But that’s a tricky thing, too, Kane says. “The other problem is the definition of what goes into the FAR is incredibly liberal, people have learned how to work around it.” Features such as underground basements, roofs or patio decks, storage units, porches, balconies and carports are currently not taken into consideration when calculating the FAR. The proposal requires a more conservative definition of FAR, including “all built portions of a structure.” Projects that, abiding by this definition have a calculated FAR under 0.4 and comply with an 11-point list of base conditions, can obtain ministerial, over-the-counter permits, avoiding the CDP process.

includes elements such as setbacks, height, mature trees, landscaping, public views and grading. “(If you comply with that) you can do whatever you want. Go to the counter, stamp your plans, and you’re out of there. No CDP, no problema,” Kane said. “If you want to get up to 0.6 FAR, there’s some additional things you need to do,” Kane added, referring to the incentive-based system included in the proposal. For example, if the design is for a single-story house, you automatically earn 0.1 FAR to add to your structure. Other design practices, such as breaking up the building mass, setting back the second story from the first or placing a roof deck in the center of the design, allow for extra FAR points up to 0.6. For CRCD chair Sharon Wampler, this approach is a “win-win-win, because 1) people are not going to have to work around the 50 percent rule, the builders and homeowners will save money, and they can build what they want as long as it’s in context and respectful to the community; 2) the neighbors won’t freak as much because there’s going to be a context, now they won’t wake up one day and have a 30-foot wall right next to their yard; and 3) the City will have an easier time and won’t have any complaints.” Group members have met with District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry, who has offered her support. Bry told the Light, “Preserving the unique character of our single-family residential neighborhoods is one of my priorities as Council member. I want to make sure that there is a fair and transparent review process that addresses community concerns and also respects the rights of property owners.” In the following weeks, community planning committees and subcommittees will discuss the proposal during regular meetings. CRCD will try to garner their support before presenting the plan to the San Diego City Council. — You can find community group agendas at bit.ly/LaJollaAgendas

Enhance La Jolla holds first meeting

Board asked to brainstorm Village improvement projects BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON The Enhance La Jolla board of directors held its inaugural meeting May 3 at La Jolla Riford Library to lay the groundwork for improved maintenance services and beautification associated with the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) newly established in The Village. Enhance La Jolla is the board that will administer the MAD, which was approved by voters within its boundaries in November 2016. Funding for ongoing maintenance — including landscaping, street and power-washing, trash collection and graffiti removal — will be generated by property owner assessments that will begin to be collected later this year. Through its 501(c)(3) non-profit status, Enhance La Jolla can also receive grants and private funds to carry out capital improvement projects in public areas. The board expects to sign a City contract and establish liability insurance in June or July, at which point it can begin capital projects. Maintenance services will begin in January 2018. At its first meeting, the board received training in the Brown Act, voted to establish a checking account for funds that come through the MAD and a separate account for grants and/or donations, and filled a vacant seat on the board. Regarding the latter, La Jolla Community Foundation representative and La Jolla Light publisher Phyllis Pfeiffer spoke on behalf of Enhance La Jolla board member Nancy Warwick (who could not attend) to recommend Prospect Street resident Ruth Yansick fill the seat. “In looking at the board, we look for diversity. We have commercial property owners, non-profit property owners, and two seats for residential property owners. One (resident) represents the Park Row area and we thought it was

Members of the Enhance La Jolla board include: Mark Dibella, Phyllis Pfeiffer, Steve Haskins, Bill Tribolet and Ed Witt. important to have someone from another part of the community so we can have eyes on all the neighborhoods.” Yansick’s nomination was approved and she was seated. Yansick joins the other 12 board members: Mark Dibella, Steve Haskins, George Hauer, Kathryn Kanjo, Leon Kassel, David Marino, Andy Nelson, Pfeiffer, Bill Tribolet, Peter Wagener, Warwick and Ed Witt. To demonstrate “what we can do together through pooled philanthropy,” Pfeiffer tasked the board with generating a few suggestions for capital projects that could be carried out this calendar year. She said the La Jolla Community Foundation was instrumental in getting the MAD and Enhance La Jolla established so it could assist with capital projects. As such, La Jolla Community Foundation voted to fund continuation of Joe La Cava’s consulting services to set

up the MAD, as well as loaning funds for liability insurance so capital projects could be started as soon as contracts are signed. Further, she said, “The La Jolla Community Foundation has $65,000 in its non-endowment fund that can be granted out in 2017 for projects within the community. So we would like Enhance La Jolla to come up with two or three projects (we can carry out) that can be voted on by Foundation members.” Early suggestions were planting trees and setting out new Village benches and trash cans. However, member David Marino opined that a broader look at The Village might also be beneficial. “To take a step forward, we need to take a step back and get our arms around what existing conditions are and what the plan is.

Enhance La Jolla consultant Joe LaCava and member Kathryn Kanjo We need to level-set and say ‘what do we want things to look like in the future?’ “There needs to be a landscape plan and a hardscape plan to get our collective program together, so the MAD has a cohesive theme to it. We need to get rid of some stuff that’s there currently, for example, there are all kinds of mismatched trees. Right now it’s just a hodge-podge.” Member Mark Dibella suggested working with the La Jolla Village Merchants Association, who previously facilitated maintenance work in The Village, and its design committee. —The next Enhance La Jolla meeting is 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 13 at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. The meeting is open to the public.

This portion of sidewalk on La Jolla Boulevard at Colima Street has yet to be repaired, despite multiple reports.

Bird Rock repair requests go unanswered by City BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON A handful of repairs in the Bird Rock area that have been reported to the City of San Diego for months, continue to be put on the backburner, it was announced at the May 2 Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) meeting at Bird Rock Elementary School. Chiefly, the orange netting surrounding the Midway Bluff overlook is still in place, there are street light outages and pedestrian crossing signal malfunctions, a sidewalk tripping

hazard remains and there are missing bus stop benches. As previously reported, BRCC requested the orange netting that was put in place as part of the Midway Bluff restoration project in 2015, to help the vegetation on site take root, be taken down. “The plants are established now, and we’ve put in a couple of requests to have it removed, but have gotten no response,” said BRCC treasurer Barbara Dunbar.

San Diego Police Department Community Relations officer Larry Hesselgesser and Lt. Erwin Manansala offer summer safety tips. FROM BIRD ROCK, A7 Dunbar added that she made progress in communicating with District 1 City Council member Barbara Bry’s office, and would report again when more details are available. Secondarily, street light outages “continue to be reported,” she said, including ones on the west side median adjacent 5640 La Jolla Blvd., a lamp near 5622 La Jolla Blvd., and the corner light immediately fronting Starbucks coffee shop. There are also malfunctioning pedestrian crossing signals, particularly one on La Jolla Boulevard just south of Camino De La Costa. “The City is following up on that and it will, hopefully, be fixed soon,” Dunbar said. “It appears to have an electrical malfunction and a sticky button so if you push it, it stays on. It’s got several issues.” Another pending repair is to a portion of sidewalk that has buckled to create a tripping hazard on La Jolla Boulevard at Colima Street. An A-frame sign has been placed across the

uneven portion to alert pedestrians, and Dunbar said the Bird Rock Maintenance Assessment District would pay for the area to be painted orange “until the City can make repairs,” she said. “That has been reported for quite some time now and has not yet been fixed.” Lastly, two MTS benches that were taken out as part of a City-wide project to replace bus stop benches, have yet to be re-instated. Dunbar said they have been reported. However, one repair project was carried out in the days following the May 2 meeting — to replace guardrails damaged recently through a car accident. Dunbar said a hit-and-run driver “knocked the whole thing loose” and the repair would “improve pedestrian safety along La Jolla Boulevard.”

In other BRCC news: ■ Summer safety tips: The BRCC Neighborhood Watch chair said while criminal activity has been quiet in recent months, thefts and burglaries tend to increase in warmer

weather. “Most burglaries happen through unlocked doors and windows (which are left open during the summer). Thieves look for things they can just grab — jewelry, cash, small electronics and guns,” she said. Police Community Relations Officer Larry Hesselgesser advised, “People like to leave their windows open and can get a little careless, so make sure you keep doors, windows and side gates closed. And keep an eye out for each other.” Also in attendance, Police Lt. Erwin Manansala added, “The same goes for vehicles. Do not leave valuables in plain sight. It makes you an easy target.” He said report suspicious activity to the Neighborhood Watch Captain, post the news on nextdoor.com and contact the police through the non-emergency line: (619) 531-2000 or sandiego.gov/police/services/nonemergencies ■ Aircraft noise: BRCC president Andrew Ward said there would likely be a discussion about perceived increases in airplane noise at the next meeting — 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 6 at a Bird Rock venue to be announced. birdrockcc.org

FROM SPA LA V, A1 “The Hotel itself is historic and the property (in question) sits adjacent the Hotel. The house was built at the turn-of-the-century and has been remodeled twice. It was acquired by the Hotel in the 1990s,” Dibella said. “They were once apartments, but the property hasn’t been used as apartments for quite some time.” Addressing potential historicity, Kerry Algaze, director of planning and development for Pacifica Hotels (which owns La Valencia) added, “The City determined the property is not an individually designated resource … but in 2013, the City determined the property is potentially historic.” The City reviewed the plans to see if they were consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Treatment Historic Property. Algaze said the first version of the plan was not consistent with those standards, so the City recommended design changes to make it compliant. “We agreed to make the revisions the City requested, such as retaining certain windows and doors. With the changes, the project scope does not adversely affect the building’s historic posture,” she said. La Jolla Historical Society executive director Heath Fox spoke in praise of the project, claiming there “couldn’t be a better outcome for this building.” Fox said, “We’ve been monitoring this project and been in communication with the hotel management and the City’s Historical Resources Board staff. They have been working collaboratively to make sure the historic characteristics of the building

An exterior rendering for the planned three-story Spa La V, attached to La Valencia Hotel at 1125 Coast Blvd. remain. This is a classic adaptive reuse historic preservation project where the historic exterior of the building is retained and the interior is adaptively reused for a purpose that is relevant to today and tomorrow. We are fully supportive of it.” Landscape architect David McCullough said some of the plants would be removed, but the mature trees will stay in place around the spa. There would also be a “privacy hedge,” which will be more natural and subtle than a wall. “It’s a beautiful property, but a little bit overgrown,” McCullough said. “What we want to do is keep the plant material

consistent with the Hotel so the experience when you walk from the Hotel to the spa is similar. It’s more cleaning up and adding than anything else.” The hedge will be California Bay Leaf, and while it can grow up to 15 feet tall, it will be trimmed to 6-8 feet. All said, LJCPA voted to ratify the findings of the PDO committee, 13-0-2

Spa La V amenities

Dibella later told La Jolla Light that with the LJCPA approval, he expects work to begin in mid to late June and take about five months. Once open, Spa La V will have six

indoor treatment rooms and two on the outside deck to offer “experiential” services, such as massage with sea salts and aromatherapy. “It’s rare to have a California Craftsman-style house with ocean-facing windows and we feel that setting is all part of the experience,” Dibella said, adding that custom services could be added to a massage such as hot rocks and body wraps. A 60-minute massage would start at $125. There will also be a food and drink menu to accompany spa services and down the line, a larger wellness program that includes fitness training.

La Jolla Vein Care offers minimally invasive treatment

BY DAVID L. CODDON Being a nurse practitioner is a gratifying profession, and especially so for Anna Cardinell at La Jolla Vein Care, which is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of vein disorders. “There’s a lot of patient teaching involved, which I really enjoy,” said Cardinell. “You have a chance to make patients feel better and look better, and they don’t always realize the benefits they can obtain by having the treatment.” “The treatment” for bulging, or vericose veins has come a long way from the traditional practice of vein stripping, a surgical procedure. La Jolla Vein Care specializes in minimally invasive treatment procedures. Among them is radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing the vessel on the inside to become inflamed and then close. This allows the remaining healthy veins to predominate. Another commonly employed treatment at La Jolla Vein Care is sclerotherapy, which consists of injections with a pharmaceutical solution. RFA is intended to be a one-time procedure, and Cardinell says, “The recurrence rate is very, very low.” Sclerotherapy may involve repeat injections to get the vein to close, but she says, “The majority is all done in the first month of the therapy.” While there may be multiple reasons for vein disease, such as pressure on the lower body from pregnancy, increased weight or being on one’s feet a lot, genetics is the No. 1 factor, according to Cardinell. It is also seen more commonly in women than in men. Ultimately, she says, “We don’t really understand” why it happens. “The vein walls just become weak, and when they become weak they

tunein tunein

start to dilate and the blood starts going in both directions. It builds up pressure in the veins, and it’s just a cascade of problems.” Vein problems are not confined to an older demographic. “We see patients in their 20s, even their teens,” said Cardinell, who has a surgical background that ended up taking her into interventional radiology. Treatments at La Jolla Vein Care are covered by insurance if they are done for medical and not strictly cosmetic reasons. “Insurance wants to know that they (patients) have tried and failed conservative management, which consists of primarily wearing medical-grade compression hose for three months. That can help temporarily control the symptoms, but it’s not going to change the disease’s progression.” Those symptoms, by the way, can include in addition to visibly bulging or spider veins, heavy or tired legs, cramping, throbbing, swelling, even restless legs. Not having any symptoms at all, however, can be deceiving. Cardinell recommends a visit “if you have a family history as well as if you start to experience symptoms.” La Jolla Vein Care, founded in 2010, boasts a workforce of seven in addition to Cardinell: a physician, two medical assistants, two ultrasonographers and two administrative staff members. Patients come from as far away as Northern California and even from Mexico. La Jolla Vein Care is in the Scripps Ximed Medical Building, 9850 Genesee Ave., Suite 410, La Jolla.

OPINION

www.lajollalight.com

Time to lobby for traffic relief on La Jolla Parkway GUEST COMMENTARY BY CHARLIE HEIN o matter who you are or where you live in La Jolla, we have all spent some serious time waiting at any one of the spokes of the intersection at Torrey Pines Road, Hidden Valley Road and La Jolla Parkway. In the morning, Hidden Valley backs up, sometimes all the way to Via Capri, and in the evening, everything else does — La Jolla Parkway and Torrey Pines Road in both directions. On the weekends, the beach traffic on La Jolla Parkway can extend for well over a mile. I have tolerated the growing traffic problem there for years. But while redoing my homeowners insurance recently, I was reminded that because of the undeveloped land that is Mt. Soledad, much of our town lives in a serious fire threat zone. Beyond that, I realized that we also live under the threat of earthquakes, severe coastal weather and even terrorism. The unique geography of La Jolla, bound by mountains and the ocean, offers only a small number of ways in and out of town. It then dawned on me that the severe traffic problem at this bottleneck has evolved from being a daily inconvenience to a serious threat to our town.

ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

Commuters often face heavy traffic entering or leaving the Village via its main thoroughfares, La Jolla Parkway and Torrey Pines Road. Should a disaster strike our community, evacuating or bringing in aid to La Jolla would be next to impossible. With viable solutions, such as completing the bridge to span the La Jolla Parkway and/or even building ramps off of La Jolla Parkway to I-5 North, there is no excuse for not resolving this problem. I am forming a group to bring attention to

this problem and lobby for an effective resolution. This group needs your help. We are looking for volunteers to assist with petitions, lobbying, networking and navigating the legalities of city government. Be part of a rewarding movement to get traffic moving in La Jolla. Please contact me, Charlie Hein, at lajollatrafficsolutions@gmail.com

OUR READERS WRITE Concours d’Elegance has not grown ‘too big’ I was distressed to read the comments by some La Jolla Parks & Beaches members in last week’s story, “Parks & Beaches board weighs Concours d’Elegance: Perhaps ‘now it’s too big.’ ” The annual Concours brings in revenue to La Jolla businesses and the City, while providing visitors and residents with a touch of class weekend. For Mary Ellen Morgan to say she has an issue with the park grass and ocean views partially blocked for 2-3 days out of 365 days of the year, is irresponsible, in my view. La Jolla needs this event and others that bring the kind of tourists who spend money at shops and restaurants, as well as on hotel nights. Would board members rather have the stream of people and traffic going to see the sea lions, who don’t spend any money in town? Or the DecoBike stands for tourists who mostly don’t shop in La Jolla? As for the port-a-potties, that is an easy fix — just add more of them next year and in locations that are more accessible. Lastly, calling Concours organizer Michael Dorvillier’s $500 donation “a bribe,” is outrageous. He should be thanked for the time he spends on behalf of the community putting all this together and for the proceeds from the event going to support many charities in need. Not mentioned was the group of 26 pilots who volunteered to do the flybys with their vintage planes. The Concours organization donates money each year for an aviation scholarship given out by the Antique Airplane Association San Diego Chapter. Those who are upset about the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance weekend, should go out of town next year for a few days and leave the show alone! Willis Allen

Keep up solid coverage of aircraft noise issue

City is right on target for sidewalk work

■ Thank you, La Jolla Light, once again, for the wonderful report you did on the Airport Noise Advisory Committee (ANAC) meeting last week. You covered it perfectly. This issue is very important to the community. We need you, so keep up the good work! Beatrice Pardo ■ I saw the May 4 issue of La Jolla Light and the read the article by María José Durán covering the increase in airplane noise and recent ANAC meeting. I thought it was an excellent article. Obviously, I am on one side of this unfortunate problem, but irrespective of that, I thought the article managed to synthesize the crux of the issues between parties involved — residents, the ANAC subcommittee, ANAC itself, the Federal Aviation Administration and local government. It was nice coverage of a problem that we La Jollans were slow to respond to, but is a growing concern. Krishna Ratnam

I write to respectfully disagree with the letter in the La Jolla Light last week criticizing the City for its work at the Whale View Point sidewalk. First, La Jolla Parks & Beaches only put this project at the top of its priority list two years ago. Then the City worked conscientiously with our community to design it to our wishes. This project was done by the City’s Transportation & Storm Water department. It was designed in-house by staff from the Transportation Engineering Operations division and construction was performed by Street Division staff. They budgeted $150,000 for this project and it is currently under-budget as well as ahead of schedule. In addition to the sidewalk work, the crew repaired and expanded the concrete pads for the benches. They also constructed two pedestrian ramps that now provide ADA-compliant access to the picnic bench areas that previously were not ADA accessible. Commemorative plaques were reinstalled.

Save the butterflies ... or the flowers?

t is Monarch Butterfly Season and my spring flowers are in full bloom at the office. This dainty yellow

flower sprang up on its own and the Monarch Butterfly caterpillars fell in love with it. They have been very busy. I asked a few pedestrians for their opinion on whether to save the butterflies or save the flower. They voted to save the butterflies. You might ask your readers to vote and see what type of response they provide! — Mark Bucon, local design architect

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Repairs were made to various segments of deteriorated curb and gutter, as well. A section of roadway was also repaired as part of this project. All of this work has taken place over five weeks of construction. I share the critic's frustration with many governmental inefficiencies, but this just is not an example of anything but the City serving our neighborhood well. Ann Dynes

Thumbs down on skate park at Rec Center Marnie Cheney’s assurance that the idea for a skate park at our beloved La Jolla Rec Center would not be “as loud as people think” is of little comfort. Even if the noise is half of what we think it would be, it is too much. I think the skate park is a disaster waiting to happen. Go to the Ocean Beach Skate Park and you

can see how noisy and trash-filled it is. Our poor little Village has too much of that already … just take a look around! Alicia Quackenbush

School memorial for Barb Hagey, Saturday The public is invited to an Appreciation of Life for Barbara Hagey, 55, a beloved community leader who passed away after battling brain cancer for nearly a year. The event is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 13 in the auditorium of La Jolla Elementary School, 1111 Marine St. “She was one of the most talented, efficient and patient people I will ever know,” said Donna Tripi, principal of La Jolla Elementary. “I enjoyed working with her and her family. She will be missed by a community of people.”

Said Harlan Klein, principal of Muirlands Middle School, “Barbara was the type to be trusted and counted upon, but who never sought recognition. She led by example and with her heart, always for the benefit of others.” Barbara served on the Parent Teacher Organization at LJES while her daughters attended the school, and then she became active at Muirlands Middle School. She also was a Girl Scout leader and served on the La Jolla Cluster Association, which oversees the five public schools in La Jolla. Her husband, Bill, is a longtime La Jollan, and they have two daughters, Carolee, 16, and Ella, 12. Sharon Jones

Inga’s right about cell phones on airplanes Inga's column of May 4 was spot on. The

Geneva Convention outlawed torture many years ago. Can you imagine what it would be like sitting on a plane and having to listen to several hundred inane conversations? It never fails to amaze me that people think they have to be available 24/7. Unless they are “on call” medical people or the President of the United States, there is no real reason they cannot shut off their phones for a few hours and stop their senseless blabbing. IB

FROM BIKING, A1 However, her parents set a rule: Avoid Pearl Street as much as possible, even though she must cross the thoroughfare to get to the apartment complex where she lives. Local cyclist Trent Wagenseller, who bikes to work from Bird Rock to Prospect Street, told the Light that one of the pending tasks should be “to get cyclists off Pearl Street. It’s got four lanes of traffic and no room for bikes. We need to find another street,” he said. He pointed out that tourists and cyclists who don’t know the area, often find themselves riding on it. “The City should have Safe Route indicators, or something that identifies to tourists that these are streets you want to be careful on.” Many cyclists who are afraid of sharing the roads with motorists, ride on the sidewalks, instead. Charlotte said that since her accident, she rides mostly on sidewalks, which she knows is wrong. “I don’t want to take the risk (of riding on the street) again,” she said. Ardath Road resident Nancy Lo agreed. She said she bicycled to work at Southwest Fisheries Science Center (8901 La Jolla Shores Drive) every day for 20 years, and did so riding the sidewalks. “I really feel bad when I ride on the sidewalk,” she said, “But I do because I feel a uneasy riding on the roads with cars. Every time I see a pedestrian coming toward me I say, ‘I’m sorry, I hope you understand.’ Sometimes they move to the side and let me go past.” Since she retired two years ago, one of Lo’s frequent rides takes her to Scripps Memorial Hospital, but she said it’s difficult to cross the I-5 on a bicycle. “Sometimes when I have to go to Scripps, I go to (UC San Diego) campus and then take Gilman Drive and somehow get onto the road that leads to the hospital.” In the area, two bike lanes are in the City plans for future construction, a one-mile stretch of Villa La Jolla Drive (between its two intersections with Gilman Drive) and a 1.2-mile bike lane at La Jolla Village Drive (between Gilman Drive and Regents Road). But on a scale of “medium,” “high” or “higher,” these projects ranked “medium” in priority urgency, even though La Jolla Village Drive was identified by City staff as one of the City’s most dangerous intersections in a March 6 City Council-accepted report. Lo said she also finds it “scary” to ride on one of the few streets sporting a painted bike lane — Torrey Pines Road (also the most-used access to La Jolla from the east). Wagenseller agreed that it’s one of the worst roads to ride in La Jolla, and a third cyclist, 70-year-old Rocky Booth, insisted Torrey Pines Road is “the most dangerous part.” “That bike lane sometimes gets overgrown and it’s poorly maintained,” Booth reported. “There tends to be potholes. So you’re going downhill, you have a lot of traffic, you’re looking for a break to turn left (into The Shores), and then you have to worry about hitting a pothole or a giant crack.” The Phase 2 of Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project, to start this fall, will “create continuity” of its bike lanes, which will be buffered from traffic by lines painted on the concrete, not physical barriers. Project plans also intend to slow traffic and install light-enforced crossings to augment pedestrian — and cyclist — safety. La Jolla resident Jessica Weinas, a native of Sweden, said she mainly rides her bike around The Village to run errands

La Jollan Jessica Weinas took the Light on a bike ride through one of her favorite places to ride, WindanSea May 5. MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

or go to restaurants. For her, the most dangerous part is riding at night on the poorly lit streets. “We have the little front and back bike lights, and sometimes a little headlamp, but then you don’t really see the street, so it’s an adventure!” Weinas explained. She took this Light reporter on a bike ride from La Jolla Boulevard (at Nautilus) to The Cove and back. She pointed to the many cracks and potholes along the bike-designated route (bikes share the road and drivers are made aware of that with vertical signs, but no signage on the road) and said “it’s downright dangerous.”

The Bicyclists’ Wish List

All the cyclists who contacted the Light for this report have one thing in common: They love riding their bikes in La Jolla. They said they enjoy the weather, the natural beauty, the exercise and not having to look for a parking space. La Jolla bikers have their grievances, but they want to make sure there’s a future for two-wheeled transportation town. Here’s how, they offered: 1) More and Better Bike Lanes. “Without safe bike lanes, people are stuck in car traffic with no option for enjoying this perfect climate,” wrote Kate Eliot, via e-mail. Jennifer Phelps wrote: “It is imperative that we make bike lanes safe. Ideally, these would be separated from traffic (and pedestrians) on heavily-used streets, as they’ve been incorporating in San Francisco.” Weinas cited Sweden as an example of good practices for encouraging bike commutes. She described long-distance bike lanes with under- and over-passes separated from traffic that take people who live outside the City to work centers. “In European countries, the bike infrastructure is thought

out, planned out and safe,” she said. 2) Try an Electric Bike. To conquer the challenges of La Jolla’s terrain and plentiful in hills, Booth found a solution in electric bikes. He said he and his wife, who formerly didn’t want to ride uphill, own one. “It’s a kind of bike that’s very sophisticated; you can tell it how much of the work you want the bike to do,” he explained. “My wife sets it low, so by the time she’s up the hill, she has gotten a workout (but she’s not burned out). These bikes are very popular; some friends of ours tried them and immediately went out to buy them.” 3) Avoid the Main Streets. Booth, who commutes from La Jolla to Mission Valley, said he changed his route (through Mission Boulevard) to Soledad Mountain. “The street conditions were so poor when I would ride I would be looking for traffic, potholes, cracks on the road. Now, I go over Mount Soledad. It’s a prettier ride, I try to use to the streets that aren’t heavily traveled.” 4) Know Road Etiquette. According to the California Driver Handbook, drivers must allow at least a 3-foot distance when passing cyclists. 5) Welcome DecoBike. The possibility of the bike-sharing company adding stations in La Jolla, has been repeatedly rejected by community groups, but for Wagenseller, bike-sharing should “absolutely” come to La Jolla. “We need to be encouraging (as opposed to discouraging) people to bike,” he said. Wrote Eliot, “Bike rental kiosks benefit locals and tourists. In Paris, we rented bikes from a kiosk and joined people of all ages enjoying safe biking. Quality of life for all ages should be a priority.” 6) Maintain Bike Lanes. Keep La Jolla’s few bike lanes free of potholes, cracks and overgrown vegetation.

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Herschel Avenue Citibank robbed

Costa, 1 p.m.

Authorities are looking for a man who robbed a Citibank branch on Herschel Avenue in La Jolla, the afternoon of Tuesday, May 2. San Diego police report he walked into the bank about 3:10 p.m. and demanded money from a teller. The teller handed over some cash and the robber left, headed west.

Meet ‘Sir Raleigh’

The 1967 Rolls-Royce owned by Ed Parrish

‘Sir Raleigh,’ R l i h ’ a 1967 Rolls-Royce, R ll R sits i at iits home h in i La L Jolla. J ll The Th same model d l was driven di in i ‘The ‘Th Thomas Th Crowne C Affair’ Aff i ’ and d featured f d in i 1980s 1980 commercials i l for f Grey G P Poupon mustard.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Editor’s Note: In response to an invitation to classic car owners to share their vehicle love stories, more than a dozen car buffs contacted La Jolla Light to be interviewed about their prize possessions. In this new series, we present their delightful roadster experiences.

“T

here is no other ride, even in a modern car, like one in an old Rolls-Royce,” claims Ed Parrish of La Jolla, the proud owner of a 1967 silver and black Rolls-Royce named Sir Raleigh. Synonymous with luxury and coolness, the same model was driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 sexy thriller “The Thomas Crowne Affair,” and was featured in the 1980s commercial for Grey Poupon mustard, in which a Rolls-Royce pulls up

La Jolla resident Ed Parrish alongside another Rolls-Royce, and a passenger in one asks “Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?” The other responds, “But of course!” and the closing shot is of the Grey Poupon jar being passed between the vehicles.

PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON

The car has both extinct features — like cigarette lighters and serving trays in the back “for your Champagne, of course” — and modern standards, like an automatic transmission and 6.5 liter V8 engine. Rare for its time, the car’s German-built

body has lightweight aluminum and steel, whereas only race cars would have aluminum on the body. It was one of the early Rolls-Royce models to include disc brakes and other safety improvements, such as across-the-shoulder belts, while in the United States, cars only featured across-the-lap belts. An aerospace engineer by training, Ed purchased the car in 2011 after he and his wife Carolyn retired in La Jolla. “We lived in Arizona before we moved here in 2004, and one day we were driving through Coronado and my wife saw an old Rolls parked on the side of the road and said, ‘We ought to get one of those someday.’ In 2011, this car was parked down the street with a ‘For Sale’ sign on it. So I bought it,” he said. “I took a chance and it’s worked out pretty well.” The name Sir Raleigh came soon after, in honor of English writer/poet Sir Walter Raleigh. In researching the car’s history, Ed learned the car spent some time in West Palm Beach Florida, was once owned by a woman in Beverly Hills, and for an unknown reason, was confiscated and auctioned-off by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “How it got from Beverly Hills to a Federal auction, I don’t know and I don’t want to know,” Ed joked.

It was in the cards

La Jolla Cultural Partners

still have the now slightly-moldy handmade card my older son Rory gave me for Mother’s Day when he was 10: You’ve been like a mother to me, it reads. In point of fact, Rory had no lack of mothers in his life. He had a biological mother. I was his adoptive mother, and my ex-husband’s second wife his adoptive stepmother. When he married, he ended up with a mother-in-law as well. I used to joke with him that I hoped 1-800-Flowers had a multi-mother discount. For the record, I consider myself this kid’s mother. The others were also-rans. Rory could just never resist pushing the envelope on Mother’s Day (or in fact, on any other day). Another handmade Mother’s Day card that I’ve saved has a wonderfully ornate cover with flowers and buzzing bees and the words “To a Wonderful Mother.” Inside it reads: “Roses are red, violets are blue. Something smells, I think it’s you!” Did he mean that it smells sweet like all those flowers on the front cover? Rory always liked to leave things up to interpretation. This was equally true of another homemade Mother’s Day card that announced, “I love you higher than the sky and deeper than the pool.” Adorable error?

Intentional Rory-ism? (And did he mean the deep end or the shallow end?) My younger son, Henri, has had his Mother’s Day moments, too. His freshman year of college, he only remembered Mother’s Day two days before the event. The campus bookstore was fresh out of English language cards, clearly bought by more mother-conscious students than he (or certainly ones with better calendaring apps), and without a car, he had no way to get into town. So imagine my surprise when the next day, a lavishly ornate card arrived announcing “Para mi Mamá — Con cariñosos y felices recuerdos de ti.” I just burst out laughing. He was apologetic about it when he called the next day, but I so enjoyed it that it became a tradition. I have a whole packet of cards reading “Para una madre excepcional,” “Especialmente para Mamá”and “Para usted, Mamá, nuestra Reina.” One with a princess theme had a tongue-in-cheek handwritten note, “Mamá, Para todo el tiempo, tu eres mi Cinderella. Henri.” It is not too surprising that Spanish was his lowest grade in high school. After both of my sons married, the Mother’s Day cards were clearly being

chosen by my beloved daughters-in-law, just as I had always done once I married. So no more wishes for a “Felicisimo Dia de las Madres,” no more handmade cards with ambiguous messages. The flowers and phone calls came directly from the sons, but the cards were definitely more generic. One year, however, the daughter-in-law-selected cards ran a little amok. A year earlier, when Rory was 32, we had been able to find his birth mother, who I think I was even more excited about meeting than he was. I had thought about her thousands of times, although I have to confess that the first 950 were in the form of “Who spawned this child???” From his earliest days, Rory was a handful, quite possibly the most diabolically creative child ever to be unleashed on this planet. It was a week after Mother’s Day and Rory’s biological mom and I were having lunch locally. She’d never thought she would ever have a chance to meet him or to know his family, and was thrilled she’d had the opportunity. There were a lot of tears on both our parts as she recounted having been forced as a teenager to relinquish Rory by her very religious mother. She never even got to hold him. I can’t even imagine the trauma. But on that particular day, she was beaming as she pulled out the drug store Mother’s Day card — definitely a daughter-in-law pick — that she had received from Rory. “You are the most special mother anyone could ever ask for,” it read. “There is no one like you.” It was her first Mother’s Day card ever (she never married or had any other children). “I’ll always treasure this,” she said tearfully, clutching it to her chest.

INGA

The now-slightly-moldy handmade card my older son Rory gave me for Mother’s Day when he was 10. I didn’t dare tell her I received the exact same one. Dollars to donuts, Rory’s adoptive stepmother got that one, too. Maybe even her own mother. But hey, my poor daughter-in-law had just given birth to her second child so it’s not like she didn’t have other things to do. And how many women marry a guy with three mothers? So no argument from me. The medium is the message. I wouldn’t mind a Spanish Mother’s Day card again to add to my collection. Their ornate flowery charm is just so irresistible. And in a now-much-treasured family tradition, flowers always come from Rory with the card, “You’ve been like a mother to me.” And yes, I’m happy to say that I really have. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light.

Soup’s On! at Empty Bowls benefit

he annual Empty Bowls fundraiser will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, May 13 at the La Jolla United Methodist Church, 6063 La Jolla Blvd. All proceeds will be donated to the Third Avenue Charitable Organization (TACO), which has been feeding hungry, homeless and elderly people in San Diego for more than 41 years. The event works this way: you choose a handmade pottery bowl donated by local artisans (to keep); fill it with soup and bread from local participating restaurants; make a donation ($20 suggested) to TACO. Reservations are not needed. Just stop by for lunch. For more details, call the church at (858) 454-7108.

When he brought it home, the car was in less-than-perfect condition. Or, as wife Carolyn puts it, “It was a sloppy mess! He did a lot of work on it to get it how it is today.” But because older cars are not as reliant on technology as modern cars (and because of Ed’s know-how), restoring the car to its current condition and fixing any problems that arise, aren’t an issue for the most part. “I grew up with cars you could work on. My dad would change the oil and make repairs, so I learned how to do that,” Ed explained. “As an engineer, I enjoy designing and making things, and when they break, I get to go back in and fix them. That was my career. “I also like to understand how things work, so I like working on this car. Most modern cars are computer-controlled and hard for most people to fix without special training. There are some things I need to take Sir Raleigh into a shop for, but other things I can do myself.” To collect information and resources, Ed said he turns to the “invaluable” Internet, to find digital car forums specific to his car, and international car clubs that post electronic versions of service manuals. He shops online to purchase parts and watches repair videos on youtube.com That’s not to say that getting the work done isn’t expensive due to the rarity of parts. One of the first repairs Sir Raleigh needed was brake work, which cost $2,500. When it came time to replace the hub caps, they rang in at $150 apiece. “But that’s what it costs to do it right,” Ed insisted.

“You have to be careful with these old cars because they can be money pits. With this car, it would be worth more in parts than the car itself,” he added. “But I like it, it rides like nothing else.” To take advantage of the upscale feeling and smooth ride, Ed often donates “A ride around La Jolla in a Rolls-Royce” to auctions for organizations he supports. Earlier this month, he took a group of ladies who won the item on a drive around Mount Soledad. But that’s about as seriously as the Parrishes take having an old restored car. “This is not a show car, or a parade car, it’s just a nice old car that is fun to drive,” Ed said. “Some of the cars in car shows are driven off the trailer, onto the grass and then back onto the trailer, but that’s all the driving they get. This is fun to drive around and it has some blemishes. And that’s OK.” Added Carolyn, “People with pristine cars live in mortal fear of scraping or denting them, but we got a mark on Sir Raleigh early on, and after that it wasn’t a big deal. Life happens. We don’t take it too seriously and it shows that we aren’t snobby about it.” She added that people feel comfortable approaching them with questions about the car. Ed said the most common are where he got it? How much it costs to maintain? And how many miles are on it? Surprisingly, he said there are only around 50,000 miles on Sir Raleigh, to date. “Whether it’s up close or through a window, it makes people smile, and that’s what I really like about it,” Ed said. ■ Next week: Taylor Miller talks about her “mermaid” car; a pink 1956 T-Bird.

Protecting Coral Reefs

See research in action at new Birch Aquarium exhibit FROM AQUARIUM REPORTS A new exhibit in the Hall of Fishes at Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego is unlike any other in the history of the aquarium. More than a display, “Research in Action: 100 Island Challenge” is also a working laboratory for SIO scientists studying coral. The exhibit serves as an experimental reef that allows scientists to develop coral research techniques and test equipment and ideas before traveling to remote locations. In addition to enjoying the display, aquarium guests will be able to meet scientists and see prototype digital cameras and underwater robotic equipment before it’s deployed in the field. “The new approaches used in ‘Research in Action: The 100 Island Challenge’ are designed to create deeper connections between our visitors and the beautiful and often complex habitats that exist in the wild,” said Harry Helling, aquarium executive director. SIO scientists have taken on the gargantuan task of collecting coral reef data from 100 tropical islands around the world to understand how reefs are adapting to the rapidly changing planet and what the future holds for these important habitats. While a majority of reefs have been negatively impacted by climate change, ocean acidification and human activities, others seem to be rebounding, and a few are even thriving.

Birch Aquarium’s new exhibit, ‘Research in Action: 100 Island Challenge,’ doubles as a laboratory for SIO scientists studying coral. The big question for scientists is “why”? “We now have a coral reef in our back yard, allowing us to work in the tropics without leaving San Diego, all the while

sharing the discovery process with visitors to Birch Aquarium,” said marine biologist Stuart Sandin. “Research in Action” features an Indo-Pacific coral reef habitat, and was designed with sustainability in mind, featuring both artificial and nursery-grown corals. Birch Aquarium has propagated and raised coral in captivity for more than 20 years through the Coral Propagation Program and many of these home-grown

St. James by-the-Sea

Church will open gallery/library with Hubbell art exhibit FROM ST. JAMES REPORTS World-renowned artist and architect James Hubbell will exhibit a selection of his works in “That Which Must Be Hidden,” May 19-July 23, at the new gallery/library of St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, 743 Prospect St. in La Jolla. The exhibit will feature stained glass, paintings and sculptures. It will be open to the public 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Private showings will be available by appointment through the church office. “St. James is very honored that James Hubbell’s exhibit will be the first to debut in our new gallery/library,” said Midge Coburn, chair of the church’s Visual Arts Committee, which is sponsoring the show. “It will be an enlightening event for St. James and the wider community.” Walter DuMelle, assistant to the Rector at St. James, said the gallery/library space has been under renovation and new lighting is among the improvements. It replaces the Gift Shop, which closed two years ago. Hubbell has written five poems specifically for the exhibit and will be present at many of the free events planned around the art show, beginning with a Opening Night Reception, 6-8 p.m., Friday, May 19 and then a Taizé Service at 5 p.m. Sunday, May 21. St. James will host a private showing for San Diego’s top non-profit art groups, 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 31. The 85-year-old artist hopes his exhibit will be a catalyst for bringing together local arts organizations in an effort to expand their offerings.

“Through art we may break the shell and allow the real world to influence us,” Hubbell said. “We have spent the last 500 years trying to understand the world by dividing it into parts (and) now are at the task of putting our world back together.” The Rev. Dr. Mark Hargreaves, rector at St. James, will lead a conversation with Hubbell’s son, Drew, about art and its environment, 6-8 p.m. Friday, June 9. Drew runs a San Diego-based architecture firm specializing in green building processes and materials. A light reception will follow this event. On June 25, from 3 to 5 p.m., Marianne Gerdes, executive director of the Ilan-Lael art foundation, will give a lecture about Hubbell’s art and studio, which is located at the artist’s famous Ilan-Lael house in Santa Ysabel. Designed by Hubbell, the house is one of San Diego’s most architecturally significant homes. Several of the award-winning artist’s most famous sculptures are on Shelter Island and in Coronado. Hubbell’s installations also grace parks, schools and gardens around the world. On July 7, Gerdes will return to St. James from 6 to 8 p.m. to lead a presentation on Hubbell’s art in public places. The exhibit will close on July 23 (St. James Day) and both will be celebrated with Vestry-hosted barbecue for the congregation and visitors from 11:15 a.m. to 3 p.m. Hubbell’s art will be for sale during the exhibit, along with a catalog, prints and postcards. For more information, call (858) 459-3421 or visit sjbts.org

Spring’s best stalk options “Europeans of the Renaissance swore by it as an aphrodisiac, and the church banned it from nunneries.” — Barbara Kingslover

Boys of Summer

Being dioecious asparagus has both male and female plants. The female species produces fruit as the flower morphs into little red berries. This energy intense process results in puny, slender female stalks compared to thick, brawny male ones, making the boys the preferred choice of growers.

hh, the seductive asparagus spear, considered the caviar of the vegetable world, heralds the arrival of spring as bright green bunches line produce aisles and farmers market stands. Close to botanical perfection, this member of the lily family has but one quirky trait — it perfumes urine with an odiferous pungency as a result of the chemical breakdown of amino acids, specifically asparagusic acid. Get the best out of these seasonal treasures while they’re good and plenty during their peak season from April to June.

On the Stalk Market

While the most popular variety of asparagus is the green-hued, this delicacy comes in shades of purple and white. The latter version is grown beneath mounds of sandy soil to stave off photosynthesis and the formation of the plant’s green-pigmented chlorophyll, while purple and pink plants are naturally occurring Italian varieties thanks to the presence of an antioxidant-rich pigment called anthocyanins, and 40 genes (compared to

• For more tender spears, trim stringy, wood-like ends and peel two inches from the bottom with a potato peeler. • Wine pairing is tricky with asparagus as it contains a sulphur compound that imparts a metallic taste to the drink. Best to serve grassy, aromatic white wines like Italian Prosecco or cool climate ones with herbal notes. Steer clear of astringent wines like reds with high levels of tannins.

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus ■ Ingredients: 24 asparagus, trimmed; 6 slices thick-cut bacon; 3 tablespoons virgin olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika; chopped scallions ■ Method: Preheat oven to 400 F. Whisk together oil and seasonings. Set aside. Divide asparagus into 6 bunches. Wrap bacon around each bunch. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with oil mixture. Bake 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked. Drain. Garnish with chopped scallions. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

PEOPLE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Meet diver and community volunteer Nick LeBeouf

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Editor’s Note: La Jolla Light’s “People in Your Neighborhood” series shines a spotlight on notable locals we all wish we knew more about! Light staff is out on the town talking to familiar faces to bring you their stories. If you know someone you’d like us to profile, send the lead via e-mail to editor@lajollalight.com or call us at (858) 875-5950.

them out to be. They’re very calculated, and I’ve been inside and outside the cage, and it’s always the shark that you don’t see, the one you have to worry about. You have to keep your eyes open, even when you get in and out of the water; there are certain rules you have to follow.”

What’s your take on the shark attack at San Onofre?

t age 32, Nick LeBeouf owns a dive shop in La Jolla Shores and has chaired the La Jolla Shores Association community board, but there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye. During this interview, 6-month-old puppy Elle sleeps on his lap, relaxed by Nick’s gentle strokes. In other lives, Nick has been a semi-professional football player, a gambler and collector of Chinese art antiques. Originally from Modesto, California, he moved to San Diego in 2007.

How did you end up in La Jolla?

“I decided that if I could live anywhere in the United States, San Diego was the best place to live. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I now have a company and a lifestyle that allows me to work on the ocean, which has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. I have an ocean-based job, specifically with sharks. When I moved to San Diego I didn’t even know I was going to do that, I wasn’t even a scuba diver, I was in real estate.”

“It was probably a mistaken identity ... to me, it doesn’t seem like the shark was feeding on her, it just took a bite and left. If sharks don’t know what you are ... they don’t have fins to come up and feel you, they just have their mouths ... and shark teeth can tear up flesh pretty fast. More people get struck by lightning than are bitten by sharks every year, so it’s just an unlucky situation.”

Nick LeBeouf, owner of the SD Expeditions tour company

How did you become interested in diving?

“When I moved to San Diego, the housing market crashed. I became a kayak guide, which was something easy to do, recreational, which led me to scuba diving, and the shop I worked for was a dive shop, I got certified, and I had the opportunity to go on a Great White Shark diving boat, and ended up getting a job on that. I spent the

next five years working offshore on a little dive boat in Baja California (México) and Southern California. When I got enough experience, I started my own business in 2013. Two boats and a shop later, here we are.”

What’s it like to dive with great white sharks?

“It’s exhilarating! You realize they are not the ominous animals that Hollywood makes

What kinds of trips do you organize?

“We organize diving trips daily out of La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Cove, then we have ocean safaris with whales, dolphins and ocean sunfish. We motor around for 15-20 miles to the blue water, where the visibility is a lot better. What a lot of people don’t realize is that offshore there are Hawaii-type conditions, and being out there, you never know what’s going to happen. I’ve had a whale surface next to my boat! California is a super highway for animal migration. Gray

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Sonia Hamburger

July 31, 1924 - February 8, 2017 LA JOLLA — Sonia Hamburger, 92, passed away from heart failure in San Diego, CA. She was born in Vienna, Austria, to Emma Gross and David Von Dishbach. Sonia’s saga began as the daughter of an indomitable mother who carried Sonia and her sister Alexandra through a chaotic Europe to refuge in Brooklyn, NY in the early 1930’s. Sonia and Robert met immediately prior to his distinguished service as a pilot in the Pacific theater. In his absence, Sonia held the family together refusing to accept an official notice that he may be missing in action. This faith remained for all 72 years of their marriage, enduring tragedy and

triumph. After his military service, Bob entered Yale Medical School, then early pediatric practice and a Yale professorship. He was asked to help establish the UCSD Medical School in the early 60’s. The family began a new life in La Jolla and became an integral

part of the community for over 60 years. Sonia returned to her own education becoming one of the earliest medical anthropologist and established the first menopause hotline, providing resources for women undergoing fundamental biological changes that society largely ignored. From her cherished Tertulia sisters, to close friends and relatives, travels around the world and the Robert & Sonia Hamburger Family Chamber Music Series at UCSD, the family enjoyed life to the fullest. Sonia was predeceased by her husband, Robert N. Hamburger, MD; and beloved daughters, Hilary, Debre and

Lisa. She is survived by granddaughter, Toya Holiday; greatgranddaughters, Saylor, Jasper and Mercy; niece, Stephanie Hanks; cousins, Arlene “Florence” Falk and Richard Gross; sister-in-law, Evelyn Anderson; sonin-law, Anthony Bila; and grandson-in-law, Brandy Holiday. Sonia possessed a natural elegance and fiery temper, intrepid honesty and laser like intelligence. Returned now to her lifelong companion. The love remains.

What’s your relationship with technology?

whales, blue whales, humpbacks, sometimes you see orcas. So that’s exciting.”

“I use my cell phone every day. I’m an Android user. I switched from Apple because running a business, it’s a lot easier for me to customize my phone now, and I couldn’t do that as well with Apple. I use a lot of ocean satellite apps, sea surface temperatures ... I can check my boat when I’m offshore to see exactly where I’m located. All my apps are ocean-related.”

Where’s your favorite diving spot?

“The Southern California Channel Islands and this island called the San Clemente, about 60 miles from here. The military owns the island, so there’s not much traffic and it’s well preserved. I’ve been at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and you may see 300 different species of fish on a dive, but they are this big (gestures about an inch with his fingers) and I like to see the big stuff.”

How did you get interested in community service?

Do you like reading? Diver Nick LeBeouf works out of La Jolla Shores.

“I grew up as an Eagle Scout, and since I was young, I was always on the student council in school. I care about the community I live and work in, so the little time I have, I like to volunteer and give back where I can, like preserving La Jolla Shores and the ecological reserve. It’s been very rewarding, and I have learned a lot.”

the surface for whatever reason, you have your diving buddy to take a breath or two. There’s always a backup. As long as you follow the rules and check your air gauge you’re fine. I’ve done over 3,000 dives, which is not bad for 10 years.”

of the dirt trails down there. I got a touring bike that can go on the road or on an unpaved road. I like to get out on the boat, go to Catalina Island … I really enjoy being on the water.”

What’s the diving community like?

What’s the worst part of your job?

“The worst part of my day is going back to gravity.”

“Increasing awareness about our planet. I want to amplify how important it is to protect and preserve what we have, because we’ve taken a lot from the world and if we continue to take, it’s going to be hard to come back — it already is.”

“Divers are technical people. They like to share information and have the latest diving gear and video cameras because diving is kind of like being an astronaut, you are kind of in other world.”

Is it scary to depend on a breathing apparatus?

“No, it’s very redundant. You have a backup regulator, in case your primary goes out. You dive with a buddy so in case something goes wrong and you don’t go to

Are you married or have kids?

“I have a fiancé and we’re going to get married in Italy in October. Angela is very supportive and I’m really lucky to have her. We’ve been dating on and off for the past 10 years.”

What do you do for fun besides diving?

“I like to travel. I have a motorcycle. I like to go down to Baja (California) and hit some

What’s your hope for the future?

How has La Jolla changed in the past 10 years?

“I’ve been in The Shores, primarily, and rules have been developed for the kayaks renters ... surfing associations have helped mitigate some issues that we had in the past. The parks have some increasing popularity; I hear it’s due to Yelp (laughs). It’s been more businesses coming in, and that’s been nice.”

I do enjoy reading. I read a lot of non-fiction, history books. Chinese history is really interesting to me.

Why Chinese history?

I used to collect Chinese art antiques. Before I moved to San Diego, I was gambling as a Black Jack player, and I would take my winnings and convert them into art and antiques to hold value. I always believed that if you don’t buy something with what you win, then you don’t win anything. And I learned that art can hold currency value. So I started buying Chinese art. Not a lot of people know that about me, it was a whole different life. It was a good few years.”

Describe your younger years.

“They were really good. I kept very busy as a youth. I played football and we were a State championship winning team. I played in high school for Central Catholic High School in Modesto and then at Fresno State for one year, and then went into water rafting. I didn’t want to play football anymore because it’s really rough on your body.”

‘The Old Man and The Old Moon’ has West Coast premiere at The Old Globe

BY DIANA SAENGER Like to laugh and leave the theater in a delightful mood? Then you won’t want to miss PigPen Theatre Co.’s “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” already attaining great reviews at The Old Globe Theatre. It’s sort of a fable, a myth, or as the Broadway World dubbed it, “A glorious fusion of music and theatrics.” Arya Shahi, who received a B.F.A. in Acting from Carnegie Mellon University was part of the actors and writers who co-created every iteration and appeared in every production of PigPen’s “The Hunter and The Bear,” “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” “The Mountain Song” and “The Nightmare Story.” He said PigPen Theatre Co. liked working with The Globe on this play. “It’s very exciting to be in California and introduce a brand-new community to this show that we’ve been doing for five years,” Shahi said. “PigPen has been the same seven guys for 10 years now. We were freshman in an acting program at Carnegie Mellon University when we met in 2007. “We began writing short stories and fairytales together, and also music to accompany them. It was mostly just for our friends and teachers, but then we took our show on the road and went to the New York Fringe Festival where we earned some awards. That kicked off our career in professional theater. “This production, in the style of an odyssey, is inspired by a lot of Celtic folklore, and also from Ryan Melia, who plays the old man. He came to us when we were in college and told us a little story he made up when he

JENNY ANDERSON

Stuart Carden directs the cast of ‘The Old Man and The Old Moon,’ created by and starring the PigPen Theatre Co. was a camp counselor and had in mind for us. It was about a giant who filled the moon every night with light. “It really made us think about that scenario. Over the next year, we chipped away at that idea and wrote a story around a giant who became a very small old man who had to climb a ladder. In essence, for us it became about why the moon has it cycles. When his wife suddenly disappears, the old man has a very hard decision to make.” Shahi plays five or six different characters

as does most of the cast. They like creating stories where the actors can play different characters and surprise the audience over how different they can be. In writing the folk music performed throughout the show, they discovered its power and what it can do to an audience. As a writer, performer or any kind of artist, Shahi said he will never get over the fact that he and his comrades are making things up that people are responding to emotionally. “Just to have someone change a point of

view from a story you created, which now is thousands of people, it’s hard to process that. A lot of our work is inspired by the Disney cartoons we grew up with. We have a central protagonist who meets characters, and we get to play them all. We just do our work and hope people get something out of it.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” plays May 13-June 18 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Identity Beyond Career Between the economic recession beginning in 2007-2008 and into this new presidency, American jobs have been on the forefront of most discussions of national concerns. The demise of the manufacturing industry, once the backbone of the national economy, is in large part due to technological advancements, especially with the development of robotics and computerization. In fact, it is believed that in the next 20 years, as high as 47% of America’s workforce will be replaced by machines, according to an Oxford University study from back in 2013. For much of the workforce, their identity is tied—almost inextricably, as it would seem—to their jobs, and jobs that are at risk

of disappearing. While the decimation of jobs is a dire forecast, there are still opportunities for workers if they would be willing to adapt to this new globalized (and computerized) climate; however, these workers often don’t identify with this new world, as their identities lie firmly with what they’ve known and done, probably for years. Extreme dedication to work has its roots in the European Protestant ideal that hard work can purge the soul, which the aristocratic classists and other Toryists were more than happy to reinforce. But without their career, many workers find themselves suffering from depression and even a kind of hopelessness, stemming from a life without the job that can provide meaning and self-worth. This is equally applicable to workers who have become disabled due to physical injuries, as well. Two paths promoted as the most practical approaches to finding a more transcendent meaning to life, beyond the career, are pursuing acts of kindness and charity and achieving mastery within a certain field. The first, engaging in charity, may be a hard

pill for some workers to swallow, especially those who may not feel so charitable if they’ve been out of work (or have seen a decline in their work opportunities) and may be suffering financially. Still, the ability to give time and energy as an act of kindness is a type of empowerment, and even small acts of kindness and compassion can go a long way toward a meaningful self-satisfaction. But more than kindness and charitable acts, the pursuit of mastery is perhaps the greatest means toward achieving meaningfulness, even more so than finding it with work. Diving headlong into a project for no other reason but the satisfaction of doing it has been shown in multiple studies, and reported by many people to psychologists, to have a profound improvement on personal wellbeing. This phenomenon is hardly new. Even two thousand years ago, Aristotle wrote that mastery was the key to a meaningful life. And the specific act doesn’t matter as much as the ability to lose oneself in the pursuit of mastery. This is what leads so many people to become “addicted” to marathons and

triathlons; aside from the endorphin high from the exercise, it is an endeavor that requires a form of mastery to complete, including daily practice and specific training for endurance and time improvement. Others may lose themselves while playing an instrument, or pursuing another artistic field such as painting, sculpting, photography, woodworking, or writing. These require training and practice, as well as a devotion to craft. Suddenly, those who delve into these fields to achieve mastery find themselves identifying with this pursuit. Because this isn’t for income, at least not purely, the motivations aren’t loaded down with necessity. The pursuit to be mastered belongs purely to the pursuer. Once people identify more with their own pursuits than with their work, the difficult transitions and disappointments of the jobs climate will be more manageable, and changes to the work or career field won’t feel as personal. What’s personal should not be dictated by any outside source, and that is true empowerment.

Cult classic musical gets new look at Cygnet Theatre BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Looking for something totally different in musical theater? Check out “Shockheaded Peter,” coming to Cygnet Theatre in Old Town, May 18-June 18. It’s a 1998 British-born musical that took a 19th-century German children’s book full of cheerfully gory rhymed stories about what happens to kids who don’t do what they’re told and turned it into a theatrical classic. The original stage production, featuring music by The Tiger Lillies, a three-piece, accordion-centered late-night club band, won worldwide raves two decades ago. It’s been described as a macabre steampunk cabaret, a series of grim fairy tales, and a perverse delight. The play might not be every theatergoer’s cuppa soup, but may well become a cult hit at Cygnet, whose mission is ”to startle the soul, ignite debate and embrace diversity.” Rob Lutfy, Cygnet’s associate artistic director, said he first heard of “Shockheaded Peter” when an agent told him that rights to it had just become available. “When I mentioned that at a meeting, three people on our staff freaked out. They knew the play and immediately wanted to do it this season.” Lutfy admitted that at first, the script was a challenge. “It’s only 22 pages, devised for a group of friends who simply wrote down what they did. So there are stage directions like: ‘a series of disturbing images.’ But actually, it’s a director’s dream. I have the freedom to redirect the piece for my own group. It’s super exciting.” He and his creative team, including costume designer Shirley Pierson and choreographer Michael Mizerany, have been working for over a year now, crafting their own version of the play. “There’s only a threadbare narrative, so you’ve got to put a vision into it,” Lutfy said. “And we’ve managed to create a real narrative arc in between the cabaret acts.” There will be a three-piece, accordian-centric band, with a falsetto singer, along with a cast who have mastered the arts of modern dance, clowning,

Each gory story will be told in a different style — using shadowplay, Bunraku puppets, masks, and full-body marionettes. “It’s been a really beautiful collaboration, I’ve never seen so many smiles and so much passion,” Lutfy said. “If we all love it so much, I think other people will, too. They’ll love the spectacle and the music and the playfulness. It’s creepy and dark but no scarier than Tim Burton’s ‘Nightmare Before Christmas.’ I think there will be people who’ll come to see it many times, the kind of people who go to Burning Man — this could be their play.” It could be your play, too, but don’t bring the children ... unless they’re at least 14 years old.

Short history of ‘Shockheaded Peter’ ■ ‘DerStruwwelpeter,’ written and illustrated by Heinrich Hoffmann, a Frankfurt physician, was first published in German in 1845 as ‘Happy Stories and Funny Pictures for Children 3-6 Years Old.’ Translated into English by an anonymous author in 1848, it captivated British readers. In America, a year later, the book’s wild-haired cover boy became ‘Slovenly Peter.’ In various translations, and a confusing number of editions, it has remained in print ever since. ■ According to Wikipedia, the first theatrical production of ‘Shockheaded Peter’ was in London in 1900, with a second one following in 1914. There were other spinoffs, including a ballet, two films and a song cycle, and then, in 1998, a group of A 1990 edition of the alt-theater Brits got together, turned the rhymed stories into 1845 German book that musical numbers sung in an unearthly falsetto, added giant puppets, strange props and a sinister MC, and opened it in West inspired ‘Shockheaded Peter,’ a macabre Yorkshire as ‘Shockheaded Peter: A Junk Opera.’ It quickly became a cult hit, moving on to London’s West End and theaters musical coming to around the world, winning kudos for its out-there originality. In Cygnet Theatre May 18. 2002, a London revival won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment, in 2005, there was a Broadway revival, and now Cygnet is offering San Diegans the Shockheaded Peter experience.

La Jolla Phototravelers Club to host NASA ‘Twin Study’ speaker

Scott Kelly with his identical twin brother, former Astronaut Mark Kelly

COURTESY

BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON For more than 30 years, the La Jolla Phototravelers Club has met monthly to share photos and stories from faraway places, but this month’s meeting is taking things farther than they ever have — to space! The next speaker is Brinda Rana, Ph.D., associate professor at the Stein Institute for Research on Aging, UC San Diego School of Medicine, who will talk about NASA’s Twins Study. The Phototravelers Club will meet 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 17 at Wesley Palms retirement community, 2404 Loring St. in Pacific Beach. The NASA Twins Study focuses on identical twin brothers Scott and Mark Kelly. Scott recently became the first U.S. astronaut to spend a year in space and landed home March 1, 2016; while Mark remained on Earth and served as “ground control” for the study. The research sheds light on the physical effects of space travel on the body (which some akin to accelerated aging) and will be the first of its kind to have such a direct comparison by using twins. According to NASA, the Twins Study is “a stepping stone toward long duration space exploration, such as journeys to Mars” and a published summary of the results is expected later this year. Christa McReynolds, La Jolla Phototravelers member said the Twins Study talk is “very different from what we normally do, but we couldn’t pass up such a unique opportunity.” She explained, “Our speaker was involved with the study before it began and when

Scott Kelly landed after a year in space, she was there to take his vitals so she could compare them to his brother’s. It’s a unique situation and it’s wonderful to have someone who was intimately involved give a talk.” Like most meetings, questions and comments are welcome following the talk. McReynolds said the group has been meeting since the 1980s (possibly the 1970s) at venues such as St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church and La Jolla United Methodist Church, but she got involved in 1995. “I gave a talk about a trip to Yemen I did and kept coming back,” she said. “I’m giving fewer talks now because I’m more focused on finding good speakers.” A “good” speaker, she said, will have illustrative photos and insights into what the country is like historically, politically and culturally, and can provide travel tips. “We also ask that you include a map that puts the country you’re going to talk about into context, and say something new so our guests leave thinking ‘I didn’t know that before,’ ” she said. The talks typically last an hour and refreshments are served. “I’m fortunate in that I’ve been to countries where you cannot safely go any more — Yemen, Libya, Syria — so I’m grateful that I got to go and I can share my photos and stories with people. Those who’ve had similar experiences or been to places that aren’t accessible anymore are welcome to speak,” she said. McReynolds’ next talk will be about a hiking trip she took in Iceland.

The tall dorsal fin of the Risso’s dolphin; the nicks and scratches on the fin help scientists identify individuals.

Risso’s dolphins are playful pests to other cetaceans

he Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus) is a species that is fairly commonly seen off La Jolla, and they are widely distributed throughout the world’s oceans. However, they are inconsistent in their distribution or reliability of being spotted. Risso’s like deep water, where they eat squid mainly at night. La Jolla is a great place to spot them, because we have deep

water close by in the submarine canyons right off Scripps and La Jolla Cove. Risso’s dolphins are about 9-feet long and gray all over, but they are often completely covered with white scars, which gives them a pale gray-white appearance. The scars may be from interacting with each other, with other species or from encounters with sharp squid beaks.

A little Risso’s dolphin with dark gray body, white scratches and a dorsal fin that has been injured

Their dorsal fin is tall and curved, and they are sometimes mistaken for other species, like pilot or killer whales. They have markings on their dorsal fins that allow for individual identification. Risso’s have a very distinct head, with a crease between their head and body. It is blunt and lacking a beak. With their upward curving mouth, they clearly have a dolphin smile. Indeed they seem to be a very playful species, interacting often with other dolphins and whales. Either they are playing, or pestering! I’ve seen them bothering migrating groups of gray whales off our coast. Generally, the dolphins initiate the contact with the whales, surrounding them tightly in a circle, and then brushing past. They may swim directly toward the whales until veering off at the last moment. It may be

that the whales are passing through Risso’s dolphin habitat, over deepwater canyons and the dolphins are reacting. They may be protecting their herd by checking out the intruder in their habitat or it could be that the younger dolphins are simply playing. Gray whales usually respond by taking up defensive postures or fleeing and changing course. Other times the whales may react by breaching or slapping flukes, but after a time, the two groups separate peacefully. Risso’s dolphins hang out in small groups (although large groups are possible) and they are very active at the surface of the water. While you are at the beach, you may even see them leaping, slapping their flukes and spyhopping. — Kelly Stewart is a marine biologist with The Ocean Foundation.

La Jollan makes the Cannes Festival ‘Short Film Corner’ BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A 9-minute-long bank robbery thriller, written and directed by 20-year-old La Jolla resident Tanner Perry, was selected for the Cannes Festival Short Film Corner, a networking event that runs parallel to the film festival, May 17-28, where industry professionals and up-and-coming filmmakers share knowledge, space and (camera) shots. “I think that one of the things that impressed (the judges) was the quality of work we did being so young,” Perry told La Jolla Light. The “we” means Perry, Vlad Jebran and Noah Wilson, partners in a La Jolla-based small production company named SpiderBite. Although he won’t be competing for one of the sought-after awards, Perry said he believes the opportunity is “still very prestigious and extremely lucky,” and a chance to network and “get ready to become feature film makers.” The film, “Aftermath,” describes the events that occur after a bank robbery goes wrong. For Perry, what amazed him about the production was “how well my actors did, so a big shout-out to them because they portrayed the emotions and feelings like any adult actor would. For both of my lead actors, this was their first time doing anything film-related,” he explained. A La Jolla High School grad, Perry attends Mesa Community College and works at a clothing store at UTC Mall. “I never went to film school, never got any training,” he said. “I just watched people do it. … (The film) looks amazing, the actors work really well, I think I’m a pretty decent writer and I’m generally impressed with the overall project.” Inspiration for the script came when he was revisiting old SpiderBite projects. “It was a good story, there were things there that were missing, but it was a good story, so I decided to pick it up and add to it,” he explained.

‘Aftermath’ cast and crew: Michael Chen (actor), Aquarius Burke (actor), Gavin Smith (actor), Hanne Manriquez (actress),Vlad Jebran (producer/actor), Tanner Perry (writer/director) and Noah Wilson (producer)

Perry shot the film mostly at a trailer park in Logan Heights for a total of four days, which followed a month-long pre-production, in color, and using his own camera. “(I used) the kit lens (the default lens that comes with the camera), though a lot of filmmakers use a bunch of fancy lenses, and since we were working on a budget, it’s mostly hand-held or on a tripod.” After that, he edited the piece on his own, which he said was the most difficult part of the process. During his years at La Jolla High School, he worked as an actor in some 10 performances. “I go to Vons in La Jolla, and parents of my classmates would say to me, ‘I saw you in that play 2-3 years ago,’ ” he said,

adding that the experience he gained was instrumental to his filmmaking, “One thing that outs me as a good director is I did start as an actor, so I know how to talk to an actor at a level they’re going to understand, so we both have a mutual understanding of what I’m trying to do.” Although he said he is still somewhat pursuing an acting career, with an agent that sometimes gets him auditions in L.A., “For now my main focus is behind the camera. I’m not beat up by not doing as much acting, I’m having fun that’s for sure.” His favorite directors are Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee and Barry Jenkins (”Moonlight”), but he watches movies of all genres. “I watch action, crime, drama, rom

coms … I try to watch everything that I can so I have a mindset of what can be done. I feel like for anyone to be a (film) director, you have to be open to anything and everything, so you can really feel out what people want to see and you want to tell, different perspectives make it good, in my opinion,” he added. Perry moved to La Jolla six years ago when his dad, KUSI reporter Brad Perry, got a job in the area. “Since moving to California and La Jolla, I’ve met and made so many great relationships and people. I’m very happy to be here and I don’t want to leave any time soon,” he said. To pay for the travel costs, he started a fundraiser at gofundme.com/goingtocannes

Congregational Church welcomes participation in community garden FROM CHURCH REPORTS Congregational Church of La Jolla invites the community to cultivate fresh culinary herbs, vegetables and fruits in an expansion of its Memorial Life Garden at 1216 Cave St. Calling it the “Seeds of Inspiration” project, organizer Laura Russell-Seymour explained that with the garden’s closeness to the church’s commercial kitchen and Fellowship Hall, meals prepared and enjoyed by congregants and community members will be enhanced by its seasonal bounty. “We welcome our congregation and community residents to offer suggestions of plants they would like to see and eat in this garden,” she said. “We plan on making a space that is visually pleasing, organic, accessible and easy to maintain. In addition to a garden, we would like to have a compost to use for all of the food scraps from the kitchen.” Russell-Seymour will work with volunteers to chart the course of the project through photographs and detailed notes, resulting in a field guide of garden progress in the months and years to come. Interim Pastor Bear Ride said she saw Mother’s Day as an ideal time to share “Seeds of Inspiration” with the

community, and will incorporate the plans into her Sunday, May 14 sermon, collaborating with music director Nina Gilbert to weave a gardening theme into the service that begins at 10:30 a.m. Afterward, guests are invited to the Fellowship Hall for a presentation by Russell-Seymour and light refreshments. Russell-Seymour said she grew up in San Diego, attending Nazareth Elementary School, Our Lady of Peace Academy, Coronado High School, San Diego City College and the UCSD Extension programs. She has a bachelor’s degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as certificates to teach yoga and practice ayurveda, an ancient Indian set of principles that promote health and longevity. To recover from a bicycling accident in Chicago that left one of her legs shattered, Russell-Seymour said she pursued yoga, ayurveda, organic gardening and natural remedies, in addition to the surgery that helped repair her leg. Five years later, she is passionate about bringing food to communities as a wellness tool. Her experience living and working on organic biodynamic farms in Sonoma and Marin counties informs her local practice.

Team Cairncross joins Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties FROM BHHS REPORTS One of the nation’s leading real estate teams has joined Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Led by 33-year veteran Steve Cairncross, the team includes sales associates Lisa Perich, Patrick Cairncross and Caitlin Cairncross, and licensed assistant Caitlin Church. Experts in the marketing and sale of coastal properties in South San Diego County from Point Loma (South) to La Jolla (North), the team’s chief focus is representing individual buyers and sellers in the purchase and sale of resale properties. Team Cairncross also excels in the marketing of large-scale new developments and major infill projects, boasting a growing new construction portfolio in excess of $198 million sold. Their name is tied to some of the most beautiful and well-regarded new development projects the City has been witness to over the past few years, including Heritage at Ivanhoe, a 14-home community that was originally part of the Copley estate; Altair in La Jolla, a seven-unit waterfront building on Vista Del Mar; and One Neptune, an ocean front complex of 18 condominiums overlooking WindanSea Beach. The ability to sell large amounts of properties in record-breaking time requires sophisticated marketing systems and a work ethic that Steve Cairncross explains “bolsters not only multi-unit sales, but also single-family resale properties. We’ve developed a powerful engine that is providing extraordinary results for all of our clients.”
