BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) will have a more active role in fielding information about UC San Diego projects, it was decided at the group’s May 5 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. A UCSD community-work group is forming, with representatives from a few of La Jolla’s
advisory boards, which will regularly meet with university administration to discuss its 2018 Long-Range Development Plan. Further, to prevent misunderstandings on the specifics of planned projects, LJCPA requested better detailed presentations from university reps going forward. The long-awaited community-work group, which LJCPA member Janie Emerson said has
been “talked about for a while (by) a number of us,” will likely begin meeting in June. Details, including who would serve as local representatives, and when and where the group would meet, will be forthcoming.

Where’s all the sand? Part 2
Coastal erosion in La Jolla leads experts to consider replenishment BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The shoreline is in a constant state of change and we humans do as much as we can to keep up with it. We build seawalls, nourish our beaches with more sand and constantly create barriers to physically minimize the effects of that natural process. But it never stops — and it never will. In the first part of this report, the La Jolla Light provided several scientists’ analyses of coastal erosion
and beach nourishment along our coasts. In this second chapter, we researched answers to the question: Is replenishment worth it? We looked into some of the factors in the equation, like seawalls and sea level rise. Here is what we found out:
Seawalls
Seawalls are both part of the problem and the solution at the same time. These structures are built SEE COASTAL EROSION, A24

After a year off the streets, Shauna may become homeless again Her forthcoming biography will raise funds for living expenses
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A year ago, thanks to the generosity of the community, Shauna Smith left the streets of La Jolla where she lived for eight years. But on June 30, the crowdfunded donations that pay for her apartment will run out and she fears she might become homeless again. Kirsten Harrison-Jack, a psychologist and co-founder of local coaching business Soul Wise, has become a “case manager” for Shauna. “It’s hard to take someone from their life on the street and just sort of pluck them out of there,” Harrison-Jack said. “So now you’ve got an apartment and you need to trust that this is not going to go away.” A biography about Smith’s life, co-written by Harrison-Jack and Smith, will be published in the next few months in an effort to portray what it’s like to be intersexual and homeless and receive the support of the community. About the book, Smith said, “I’m 50 years old and I’ve been through so many things in life, so hopefully, my story will be enjoyable to read and it can touch people’s lives as well.” The co-authors want the eBook version to see the light in June, and print the hardcover edition next fall. Book sales will be a way for Smith to have some income and at the same time contribute to the community that has helped her get back on her feet.
Doing errands for businesses and active coaching are some of the employment options they are considering. They’ve also looked into the possibility of Smith leading a Bully Buster program at local schools to help children deal with bullying. Harrison-Jack started a new GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for Smith’s expenses while they figure out a better way to pay her rent. But besides cash, what Harrison-Jack and Smith want is to create a nework of people willing to offer their talents to help Smith attain a situation where she is almost self-sustaining and independent. “We want to make it realistic,” Harrison-Jack said. “People feel like, well, that’s their problem, not mine. Well, it’s all of our issues. When we help somebody else, we help all of us.”
Meet Shauna, the person
Shauna Smith during the photoshoot for her biography. “She wants people to understand what it’s like to live in the intersex category and possibly turn the book into a course that can be taught at schools and universities,” Harrison-Jack said. “The whole point of the book is to have a compassionate base, which is all of these businesses coming together to help Shauna.”
KIM HOFFMAN
Smith and Harrison-Jack are also exploring feasible employment options. “We are trying to find sustainable things that work within what Shauna can handle. Because if it’s too much, she gets overwhelmed and that’s part of her body changing and some of the emotional issues that she has,” Harrison-Jack said.
Personal trainer, teacher, babysitter, and college graduate are some of the roles that define Smith. The six-foot-five athletic African American woman said she has no history of drug addiction, violence or criminal record. She is a kind and thoughtful person, single and religious. Her favorite things to say are, ‘I’m so blessed,’ ‘Thank you,’ and ‘I can’t say enough.’ La Jolla Light learned these things during a 45-minute conversation with her. “I’m a teacher, and I love children and people. I would love for people to come and say hi, and go for a cup of coffee. I don’t drink coffee, but water would be nice,” SEE SHAUNA, A7

Board seat opens on La Jolla Planning Association BY ASHLEY MACKIN A La Jolla Community Planning Association special election will be held during the Thursday, July 7 meeting to fill a seat vacated by Jim Fitzgerald who left the board due to health reasons, it was announced during the May 5 meeting. LJCPA president Cindy Greatrex explained eligible candidates need to be members by the June 2016 meeting. They must submit a membership application and have attended three LJCPA meetings between July 2015 and June 2016. Tasked with advising the City of San Diego on land-use matters, specifically concerning adherence to the General Plan or a land-use plan when it relates to the La Jolla Community Plan boundaries, LJCPA also advises on other land-use matters as requested by the cty or other governmental agency. They meet 6 p.m. first Thursdays at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. A candidate forum will be held at the June regular meeting, allowing each candidate to introduce themselves to the audience if they so choose. Voting will take place 3-7 p.m. July 7. Voting is in-person only, and requires a photo identification. The results will be announced as soon as they are verified. At the May meeting, residents Bob Whitney and Claude-Anthony Marengo announced their interest in running for the two-year seat.
In other LJCPA news: ■ Water project laid out: Representatives
COURTESY
‘Demos Gracias’ by artist Lorenzo Hurtado Segovia was installed at the Galaxy Taco building in La Jolla Shores as part of the Murals of La Jolla public art series. from the City of San Diego and contractor firms Orion and Humanability were on hand to explain Water Group Project 1010, which would start in the next few months to replace and upgrade water pipes in La Jolla. Affected streets include La Jolla Mesa Drive, La Jolla Rancho Road, Cottontail Lane, Germain Lane, La Jolla Scenic Drive South, Coral Way, Citadel Circle, Deer Hill Court and Box Canyon Road. Orion spokesman Jason Danks explained the project would replace 8,720 feet of water main, fire hydrants and some of the curb ramps on those streets. “Parking will be impacted due to equipment staging of dump trucks and tractors. We will move through in a phased approach, only taking up the area, as we need it. Our production rates are about 200-300 feet a day. If we are in front of your house, we shouldn’t be there long,” he said. Added Paula Roberts with Humanability,
“All city projects are preceded by a 30-day written notice by mail to all properties within 300 feet of the alignment and five days before construction, the crews will post door-hangers. No Parking signs will be posted 72 hours in advance of the no-parking situation.” For more information on the project, visit cipapp.sandiego.gov and search District One projects. “AC Water Group 1010” is under the Project Name menu. ■ Mural discussion postponed: A conversation on the “Demos Gracias” mural that was positioned in La Jolla Shores against the Galaxy Taco restaurant building in early April, and whether its placement is allowed in that area, was postponed until the June LJCPA meeting. At a previous meeting, board member Janie Emerson said the response to the mural was not positive and residents were upset there was no outreach before its installation.
Emerson further reported that the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee would take up the issue at the end of May with organizers behind the Murals of La Jolla public art program. The findings would be brought back to LJCPA. Years ago, trustee Phil Merten said, LJCPA approved the concept of a murals program in La Jolla, but within the limits of the Village. Since the mural in question is in the Shores, it is not included in the LJCPA vote. ■ Two home-builds OK’ed: Slated for full review, the 311 Sea Ridge Drive and Zephyr Resident projects were presented and approved. The project at 311 Sea Ridge Drive includes the demolition of an existing single dwelling unit and construction of a 7,388 square-foot single dwelling unit. The Zephyr Residence at 921 Muirlands Drive includes the demolition of an existing residence for the construction of a new 7,388 square foot, two-story residence with attached garage and a 703 square foot guest house. ■ Three items scheduled for next meeting: Rather than being approved as part of the consent agenda, three items were pulled for full review at the board’s June meeting. They are the proposed installation of speed humps on West Muirlands Drive, the street closures affiliated with the So Fine on Kline street festival in December, and changes to allow sandwich boards (aka a-frame signs) in the public right-of-way. — For more information about LJCPA, visit lajollacpa.org

FROM SHAUNA, A3 Smith said, adding that she feels a lot of people misjudge her. “I wish they would come and ask me questions. I wish those people would see me.” Smith was born with male-like genitals but a uterus and a cervix. She reports changes in her body that have affected her deeply. “I tried to be Sean and it never worked,” she said.

Orange County judge: Children’s Pool closure unlawful
BY ASHLEY MACKIN An Orange County judge has decided that the seasonal beach closure at La Jolla’s Children’s Pool (aka Casa Beach), which went into effect in 2014, violates citizen rights to coastal access and is therefore unlawful. The San Diego City Council requested the closure in March 2014, through an amendment to its Local Coastal Program, which allowed a seasonal beach closure at the Children’s Pool during the harbor seal pupping season, Dec.15 to May 15 annually. The California Coastal Commission approved the amendment unanimously that summer. In a “final” ruling in La Jolla-based Friends of Children’s Pool vs. City of San Diego and California Coastal Commissions dated May 3, 2016, Orange County Superior Court Judge Frederick Horn said, according to a press release, “The City’s action to close the Children’s Pool beach was unlawful. Further, the City and the California Coastal Commission are prohibited from enforcing the Local Coastal Program amendment and the Coastal Development Permit issued by the California Coastal Commission and City ordinance for the seasonal closure of Children’s Pool.” The case was in an Orange County court because Friends of Children’s Pool requested a change of venue to help avoid any appearance of outside pressure or influence on the assigned judge, said Friends of Children’s Pool president Ken Hunrichs. “The City and California Coastal Commission selected Orange County and we agreed to that court venue.” The case was filed in October 2014, and much of the correspondence was done in writing or via e-mail. Locally, beach-access advocates are considering the ruling a victory, while members of the Seal Conservancy and city representatives are encouraging an appeal. Leading the charge, the office of City Attorney Jan Goldsmith issued the following statement: “The Orange County judge’s decision was in error ... His decision would require cities to get federal government permission before

During the annual closure of La Jolla Children’s Pool from Dec. 15 to May 15 for harbor seal pupping season, people are not allowed to step foot onto Casa Beach. An Orange County Superior Court Judge ruled May 3, 2016 that the city of San Diego’s policy since 2014 to restrict access to the beach is unlawful; violating state and federal laws. making land-use decisions on the coast where seals congregate. That is not current law. We will urge the City Council to appeal.” Given this opinion, San Diego City Council President and La Jolla resident Sherri Lightner has declined to comment on
the decision. Representing the Seal Conservancy, Adrian Kwiatkowski said, “We want to express our disappointment with the ruling. We think the judge made a mistake and we are going SEE CHILDREN’S POOL, A19

FROM NEW GROUP, A1 community boards in La Jolla and two from University City to “better learn how we will be moving forward with the 2018 Long-Range Development Plan and what it will entail. It is our hope that with the new group, will engage with the community so we can understand your (concerns and) and priorities and work together,” she said. The Long-Range Development Plan, which all University of California campuses are reportedly expected to have, will provide a blueprint for growth. The last one was drafted in 2004. A land-use document, the plan is comparable to the City of San Diego’s General Plan and will include an updated capacity analysis. One project already in the preliminary stage addresses capacity and would expand the campus’ student housing offerings. It could be the first topic reviewed by the community-work group. “Each (University of California) campus is expected to expand student housing over the next four years ... It is the result of state mandates and housing initiatives announced by the UC (system) president aimed at supporting current and future student enrollment across the UC system. To that end, the campus has initiated this project, which will redevelop housing on the UCSD east campus adjacent Regents Road and La Jolla Village Drive,” Delouri said. The new housing will accommodate approximately 800-1,000 beds, with a shared parking structure that will provide approximately 1,200 spaces. When it comes to proposed remodels or new construction on the west side of the campus, that may or may not be included in the Long-Range Development Plan, LJCPA requested more elaborate presentations to its Development Permit Review (DPR) and Permit Review Committee (PRC) sub-groups. LJCPA trustee Dolores Donovan said, “I’m aware there is a huge difference between what gets presented to (community groups such as La Jolla Shores Association or LJCPA) and the kind of presentations that architects make to PRC, so what I’m seeking is the level of detail and transparency architects

A motion passed that “LJCPA requests knowledgeable design professionals from UCSD present all preliminary plans for proposed remodels or new construction to the DPR and PRC sub-committees of LJCPA, and the findings of those sub-committees be presented to LJCPA for review.” Whether LJCPA reviews would lead to a vote would be

AUSTRALIAN AUCTION PROCESS HITS U.S. REAL ESTATE MARKET TOTAL PROPERTIES LISTED PROPERTIES SOLD AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET
H
ave you noticed the amount of auctions going on in Southern CA lately? If you didn’t know any better, you might think we are back in 2008. But if you look closer, you’ll realize it’s different; it’s Australian. The last 24 months have created curiosity, questions and excitement about a unique twist to real estate sales. For decades in the USA, the auction process has been associated with foreclosures and distressed properties. For decades, most Realtors could only provide one option for helping their clients sell their home for top dollar… Not anymore! Did you know our Aussie friends from down under, have been conducting traditional real estate sales via auction for nearly 130 years? In 1888, JB Harcourt, a hardworking visionary, opened Harcourt & Co. He wanted to provide more than just traditional real estate sales, so he got his auctioneer license and began providing homeowners with 2 options for selling their property. “Our process doesn’t replace traditional sales, it simply enhances them by providing owners another option for selling their property,” says Ben Brady head Auctioneer Head of Auctioneering Harcourts USA Ben Brady.
In 2010, Harcourts entered the USA placing its headquarters in Newport Beach. In 2014, Harcourts brought their Australian Auction Platform into the USA. With over 162 successful auctions in 2014 and 269 in 2015 Harcourts’ 93% success rate is causing naysayers to open their minds and accept that the process works the same way in the USA as it does in many countries around the world. This process steers away from distressed homes. Did you know that in Australia and in many other countries around the world, the auction process accounts for nearly 65-70% of all real estate sales? The process aims at achieving the fair market value for the property in a faster, more transparent procedure. “When you really look at it, we are simply accelerating the sales process to get the owner fair market value faster, in a more transparent process with a 93% sales rate in 35 days or less, 98% of the time with multiple offers and 95% escrow close rate. The numbers don’t lie and they are impressive. I wish we could sell all homes this way,” says Justin Brennan, La Jolla Realtor 619-823-2120 CalBRE #01866398 Justin Brennan.
How is it different than other auction platforms in the USA? 1.No buyer premium. 2.Don’t have to wait for the auction date to offer on the home. More than 70%, sell prior to the live auction date. 3.Fully disclosed process: all reports, disclosures, inspections, termite report, request for repairs, etc. are done upfront increasing the success of closing to 95% vs. 70% as seen in traditional sales. 4.Fully financeable just like a traditional sale. 5.Attract owner occupied buyers. “Nearly 85% of the buyers of our auction properties are owner occupied buyers, another reason we are able to achieve fair market value,” says Auctioneer Ben Brady. Additional benefits of choosing this option are you set the terms and conditions of sale, marketing with a bidding price to start ensures the final sales price is negotiated up, not down as is the case in a traditional sale. And by setting a sale date for auction, creates a sense of urgency, bringing buyers to a point of decision. “It’s never the promise of a price from an agent that gets a property sold…. it’s the process which gets the true market value that gives a seller the chance to say yes or no,” comments Head Auctioneer, Ben Brady. Open houses are one of the most effective ways of marketing a property and attracting interest from a wide variety of buyers. When choosing to sell your home through auction,
269 252 27
open houses are essential, so that potential bidders can get a good feel for the home before committing to attend the auction. A positive statistical sales rate, together with property being on the market for shorter periods of time, have many regarding auctions as the most successful ‘non-price’ method of selling. “What I love about the Australian Auction Platform is that it gives our sellers options. While the process is not proprietary to Harcourts, Harcourts is currently the only real estate company in the USA that has its own in-house auction division,” says Harcourts broker/owner, Tiffany Torgan Philips, Tiffany Torgan Business Owner/Broker CalBRE #01940952 Philips. There is a lot to be excited about and much more coming. Harcourts hopes in time, all U.S. real estate companies will embrace this process and begin providing it as another option for their agents to help homeowners in La Jolla and throughout the United States. “It’s a great way to sell homes. I’ve found that once I explain it to buyers, sellers and agents, they see the benefits and how it helps them get what they want, while reducing the headaches we all deal with purchasing or selling real estate. It’s a well thought out system that’s been shaped over 130 years of success,” says La Jolla Realtor Justin Brennan.

‘Third time’s a charm!’ say Paws & Pints organizers Annual F.O.C.A.S benefit set for May 19 at THE LOT FROM PRESS REPORTS La Jolla Veterinary Hospital will present its third annual “Paws & Pints” fundraiser 6:30 p.m., Thursday, May 19 at THE LOT movie theater and café, 7611 Fay Ave. The event will be held in support of the F.O.C.A.S. (Friends of County Animal Shelters) program at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society and The FACE Foundation. “We wanted to do something in our community, for the
community, that would evolve and grow into something La Jolla could look forward to year after year. I think this year, we have finally achieved that,” said event founder Stephanie Coolidge of La Jolla Veterinary Hospital. She added that the fundraiser will feature an auction with autographed items from the San Diego Chargers, VIP tickets to Padres games, works from local La Jolla artists, and countless restaurant, wine, museum and brewery packages. Other small businesses including Warwick’s, Ark Antiques and MyOwnSpace, have donated items and/or gift cards that will be auctioned off. THE LOT will also donate a portion of the food and beverage sales from the night’s party to the beneficiaries.
For those who have never attended a “Paws & Pints” event, know that this is more than a fundraiser, Coolidge explained. “There is a greater purpose than throwing back a few brews, hanging out with your dog or sharing a flatbread with like-minded, animal-loving people,” she said. “It is about conserving a deep-rooted, La Jolla-founded program that started more than 30 years ago. F.O.C.A.S, which stands for Friends of County Animal Shelters, was started in La Jolla in 1982 by residents Peggy Howell and Sue Geller. F.O.C.A.S. is a foster program responsible for finding homes for thousands of animals in shelters all around San Diego County.” The “Paws and Pints” event was established in honor of Howell, who passed away in 2013.

“Peggy was one of the most wonderful, genuine, kind and hard-working animal advocates we have ever known,” Coolidge said. “She started F.O.C.A.S. when there were less than a handful of animal welfare groups in San Diego. F.O.C.A.S. was La Jolla's very own animal-welfare charity. Participants marched with their pets and family members in the La Jolla Christmas Parade every year, distributed their own newsletter to La Jolla residents on a regular basis, held countless adoption events, funded hundreds of spays and neuters through veterinary hospitals in La Jolla, and partnered with La Jolla merchants and businesses to raise funds for foster and education programs. “Their board of directors consisted of many animal-loving La Jollans who wanted to help save the lives of homeless animals in San Diego County. Peggy was proud of that. After she passed away, La Jolla Veterinary Hospital committed to carrying the torch for the philanthropic efforts of Peggy, Sue, and all those who worked so hard to help homeless animals in our neighborhood.” Today, La Jolla is full of pets. The weather is always perfect, businesses support strolling through their establishments with furry family members, and many restaurants permit dog owners to share a meal with their pet. There are multiple veterinary hospitals, plenty of boutiques specifically for Fido and friends, and business fronts scattered with water bowls and treats for dogs. “We have to believe that Peggy Howell had a hand in laying the foundation for the pet-enriched community that we live in today,” said Dr. Julie Breher, owner of La Jolla Veterinary Hospital. “The support for this event from the community, and the opportunity to honor Peggy and her efforts every year, is overwhelming and absolutely makes you feel good about where we live and work.” This year, La Jolla Veterinary Hospital added the FACE Foundation as a second beneficiary. FACE is a non-profit that provides financial assistance for San Diego animal owners who are unable to afford the cost of their pet’s life-saving emergency veterinary care. FACE is unique. It helps keep animals that are adopted from programs like F.O.C.A.S. at home, with their beloved owners, even in times of medical

Not everyone has that kind of money, nor credit, to be able to afford that expense,” Coolidge said. “In the spirit of Peggy, we have included FACE this year. They are a group of hard-working animal advocates, working tirelessly in a unique way to make a definitive and positive impact on the animal-welfare community.” This year’s event will be bigger than last year’s, Coolidge predicted, “We look forward to coming together as a community to better the lives of homeless animals and even cherished pets all over San Diego County.” ■ IF YOU GO: For more details about "Paws & Pints,” visit pawsandpintslajolla.com or call La Jolla Veterinary Hospital at (858) 454-6155.

4 Beds / 2.5 Baths, 2521 Sq. Ft. $2,298,000
BY ASHLEY MACKIN After an uprising from Soledad Mountain Road residents at Traffic & Transportation (T&T) advisory board meetings, the City of San Diego has retracted its request to increase the speed limit from 35 to 40 mph between Pacifica Drive and Soledad Road. According to an e-mail from a City Associate Engineer, the city’s speed survey “pertinent information” was reviewed again and it was determined that, “The segment of Soledad Mountain Road between Pacifica Drive and Soledad Road can be incorporated into the segment to the north. Therefore, the new segment limits are now Pacifica Drive to La Jolla Scenic Drive South with the enforceable speed limit of 35 mph in both directions of travel.” The recommendation to increase the speed limit was brought to T&T and approved at the board’s Jan. 20 meeting. But before the findings could be ratified at La Jolla Community Planning Association’s February meeting, the topic was pulled for further review by a concerned resident who objected to the increase but was not notified of the proposed change, and sent back to T&T. The topic was briefly addressed during T&T’s March meeting, but discussed at length during the April meeting, when residents opposed in attendance were asked to circulate a petition to show support for keeping the limit at 35 mph. The results of the petition could still be presented at the May T&T meeting for future reference, but chair Dave Abrams said the city’s retracted request will be announced and the item will be considered closed. — T&T next meets 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 18 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollacpa.org

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS
La Jolla Bank broker admits to obstructing bribery investigation
ASHLEY MACKIN
Chedi Thai Bistro at 737 Pearl St. was robbed around 9 p.m. Monday, May 9.
La Jolla restaurant robbed
A
n armed robber struck Chedi Thai Bistro at 737 Pearl St. around 9 p.m. Monday, May 9 and forced employees to give him money, San Diego police said. The gun-wielding robber was seen casing area businesses just before bursting through the back door of the bistro. He fled with an undisclosed amount. He is described as a black man likely in his 20s, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, 160 pounds, with short, curly hair. He wore a gray, long-sleeved shirt, brown shorts and white shoes. Those with information are encouraged to call the San Diego Police Department non-emergency line at (619) 531-2000.
Jocelyn J. Brown, a loan broker for the now-defunct La Jolla Bank, pleaded guilty May 5 to making false statements in relation to an investigation into bribes paid to the bank’s Vice President and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) lending department manager Amalia Martinez. As part of her guilty plea, Brown admitted that she paid cash bribes in return for the banker’s assurance that the loans Brown referred would be approved and funded, and, therefore, that Brown’s commissions would be paid. Brown collected tens of thousands of dollars in referral fees from La Jolla Bank, and kicked back a portion to the bank manager, in cash, every time she was paid. Brown faces maximum penalties of five years’ imprisonment, $250,000 fine, $100 special assessment and restitution. La Jolla Bank opened its SBA lending department in 2005. In February 2010, the bank failed, and was taken over by the FDIC.

Here’s a mini guide to the June Primary Election Last day to register to vote is May 23 at sdvote.com BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN he Tuesday, June 7 California Presidential Primary Election is called a “primary,” but it’s functionally a general election. In most of the races where a candidate obtains a majority of the votes (50 percent plus one) he or she will win the election with no need to advance to the Nov. 8 ballot. May 23 is the last day to register to vote. Make sure you can exercise your right at sdvote.com Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. (To find your polling place call 1 (800) 345-VOTE or visit sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place) The last day to request a vote-by-mail ballot is May 31.
T
Mayoral Race Two contenders have challenged incumbent Republican Kevin Faulconer, who obtained the seat after Bob Filner’s resignation. Ed Harris, local Lifeguard Sergeant, is running as a Democrat and former assemblywoman Lori Saldaña, as an Independent. ■ To read more about their plans for the city, endorsements and events, visit their websites: kevinfaulconer.com; harrisformayor2016.com; lori4mayor.com
District 1 City Council Republican Ray Ellis and Democrat Barbara Bry are running on platforms based on their business experience. Independent Kyle Heiskala, a council representative to current District 1 representative and City Council President Sherri Lightner, wants to bring his progressive views to the city. Democrat Louis Rodolico entered the race as an architect who supports public transit, increasing the minimum wage and building the Regents Road Bridge. Republican Bruce Lightner, husband of Sherri Lightner, entered the race late and wants to continue his wife’s legacy. ■ Check out their websites: ellisforcouncil.com; barbarabry.com; kyleheiskala.com; louisrodolico.com; brucelightner.org
City Attorney The race for City Attorney will be one of the most contested elections this year with five challengers. Four Democrats – Mara Elliot, chief deputy at the City Attorney’s office; Gil Cabrera, chairman of the San Diego Ethics Committee; San Diego Port Commissioner Rafael Castellanos and Bryan Pease, an environmental lawyer known for defending the La Jolla seals – and Republican Robert Hickey, a deputy district attorney, all highlight their experience in politics. ■ Check out their websites: gilcabrera.com; rafaelforsandiego.com; maraelliott.com; hickeyforcityattorney.com; bryanpease.com
Presidential Primaries If you are a registered Republican, you may vote in their primary. In the Democratic race, you can vote if you are registered as a Democrat or Nonpartisan. The Republican primary recently lost most of its contenders. Still, Donald Trump needs the 1,237 pledged delegates to reach the nomination. In the Democratic field, Bernie Sanders intends to fight Hillary Clinton all the way.
Propositions Propositions A through G were recommended by the San Diego Charter Review Committee and were designed to update the City Charter to be consistent with other San
Diego city laws, state laws, and the city’s government structure. No formal opposition to these was found on the City Clerk’s website. • Proposition A: Redistricting The city’s redistricting process would be updated, adding members to the redistricting commission from seven to nine, and preventing City Council members from appointing members if no experienced candidates came forward for the positions. • Proposition B: Authorization of Bond Issues — If this proposition gets approved, a two-thirds of the City Council vote would be needed to approve revenue bonds. • Proposition C: Property Taxes — This proposition does not authorize any new taxes. Proposition C amends the City Charter to comply with state regulation for property tax collections by the city. • Proposition D: City Officials Salaries — Under this proposition, the salaries of city officials would be consistent with other provisions of the City Charter. It addresses who has authority to fix the salaries of officers and employees of the City of San Diego, and how and when salaries are determined. • Proposition E: Budget Reform — This proposition amends the City Charter to change the budget approval process to comply with state and federal law. • Proposition F: Financial Operations — A yes vote is a vote in favor of updating and clarifying the city’s processes and requirements for the management of funds. • Proposition G: Removal of Close-Out Audit Requirements — If this propositions gets approved, the City Auditor will be allowed, but not required, to audit city officials upon their deaths, resignations or removal from office. At present, the City Auditor is compelled to audit every city official in the above circumstances. • Proposition H: The Infrastructure Funds — This controversial proposition, unlike the prior seven, has arguments against it. Proposed by Councilmember Mark Kersey (District 5), it intends to establish a dedicated fund for infrastructure. The fund would be restricted and could only be used to fund costs, including financing costs, related to General Fund capital improvements such as streets, sidewalks and buildings, and the maintenance and repair of such improvements. However, Scott Barnett, president of the San Diego Taxpayers Advocate; Lisa Haughey, Affiliate Hospital President for United Nurses Associations of California; and Clare Crawford, executive director of the Center on Policy Initiatives, signed an official argument against the measure. They reason that the proposition would lock away funds for infrastructure without a certain plan on how to develop them, taking those funds away from other “more urgent” needs of the city. Leading advocates for Taxpayers wrote, “Prop. H is a very bad idea. It ties the hands of the City Council for 25 years. It could deprive the city of needed money for emergency services. It is riddled with loopholes and completely lacking
San Diego City Council District 1 is best known for its beautiful beaches and picturesque highlands. Among its many attractions, it is home to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, Birch Aquarium, Salk Institute and the Sandford-Burnham Institute. District 1 has become a nationally recognized hub for higher education, scientific research and the biotech and high-tech industries. It covers the northwest part of the City of San Diego and includes all of the following ZIP codes: 92014, 92037, 92038, 92067, 92073, 92093, 92121, 92122, 92130. in any effective oversight or transparency.” ■ Read more about the proposition: sandiego.gov/iba/reports/infrastructure • Proposition I: Minimum Wage — Gov. Jerry Brown signed the statewide new law that will rise minimum wage in six years (2022) to $15. But up for San Diego’s vote in June is the San Diego proposition that would place the rise at $11.50 in 2017 and link it to inflation in 2019, and would take effect earlier than the California law. Additionally, it increases the number of earned sick days for San Diego employees. Detractors, including District 1 candidate Ray Ellis, allege that the increase will make San Diego less competitive and damage employment, especially for those with lower-skilled jobs. Supporters, like City Councilmember Todd Gloria (District 3), argue that a higher minimum wage will help low-income families make it to the end of the month and will revitalize the economy. • Proposition 50: Suspension of Legislators — Under this statewide proposal, California legislators would require a two-thirds vote in their respective chambers to be suspended. This proposition will amend the California Constitution. — Voters will also find on the June 7 ballot, candidates for Congress, State Senate and Assembly, County Board of Education, San Diego Unified School District, and Superior Court Judge. Complete details at voterguide.sos.ca.gov ■ Coming next week in the La Jolla Light, a report on the District 1 Candidates Forum held at the La Jolla Community Center on May 9.

FROM CHILDREN’S POOL, A8 to encourage the City Council to file an appeal.” In the meantime, he added the group would look at “our legal options and other actions.” Conversely, the beach-access advocates who opposed the closure from its onset, said they are pleased with the decision. Among them, Melinda Merryweather said, “It is about time a judge got it right ... in California it is your constitutional right to enter the ocean. I believe Ellen Scripps (whose financial gift funded the construction of the seawall that created Children’s Pool) would be pleased and proud of all of us who would not give up until the truth was told.” Added Hunrichs, “I’m very pleased with the decision, though I must say we expected it because the legal points made in the judge’s decision are very clear. They are very much the same points of law we presented during all the public hearings with the City and Coastal Commission (leading up to the

Visitors can observe the seals from a pedestrian walkway on the wall. closure). It was when the City and Coastal Commission tried to misapply a general policy of the Coastal Act ... that we knew we would have to bring this lawsuit. The
Coastal Commission ignored all other coastal access protections in the Coastal Act; most of which profoundly favor coastal access as the top priority.”
Regarding any appeal, Hunrichs said, “We believe this decision reflects the correct interpretation of the law regarding the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the State legislation, and any appeal will affirm that position. We hope the City will do the responsible thing and at least consider the amount of money it has spent on all of this before deciding to appeal the decision.” In addition to court and attorney fees, the city’s expenses thus far have included the posting of a ranger fulltime to oversee interactions between humans and harbor seals at Chilren’s Pool, and the installation of a guideline rope that spans the beach parallel to the tideline. At the end of harbor seal pupping season observance, early morning May 16, the beach will be open for public access. However, the guideline rope to separate humans from marine mammals in the will remain up year-round. Beach-goers are advised to keep a safe distance from any harbor seals that might be hauling out at the beach, and remember they are wild animals.

Aeonium is one of the fairly common types of succulent that has large rosettes of petals ranging in size from an inch to over a foot in diameter. They flower only once and then die, but generally there are many little pups (or mini versions) that have started to take root near the main stem. Aeoniums are native mainly to the Canary Islands but also to parts of Africa. The flowers are the best way to correctly identify aeoniums. Another favorite is the agave plant or century plant.

OUR READERS WRITE La Jolla at a crossroads with Cove swim advisories
Executive Editor • Susan DeMaggio susandemaggio@lajollalight.com (858) 875-5950
I’m not sure I’ve ever posted a comment on a news article before, but the recent health advisory posted at La Jolla Cove, is only another step in what is becoming a downward spiral for La Jolla. You can’t swim at Children’s Pool, The Cove has enough bacteria to where the county has to put up warning signs, our streets are falling apart in key areas but are re-paved in areas that were OK to begin with. The entire commercial area in the Village reeks in the summer. Trash bins are overflowing everywhere. There is very little public landscaping on our main streets. Beautification efforts start and end at massive, strange murals painted on the side of buildings. La Jolla is one of the most highly sought-after communities in San Diego, California, and the USA. But it pales in comparison to other high-end beach communities in our state when it comes to many key factors. I’m shocked that we’ve let minority conservancy groups prop up the nuisances that are reported year-after-year in La Jolla, namely the seals, sea lions and birds that cause the stench and bacteria problems. How many people will have to get sick, how many businesses to lose customers, how many beaches to be closed until the conservancy groups are happy? Matt Cadwell

Mammals and wildlife have to be managed. Just like humans. We wouldn’t let anyone just set up living quarters on the beach. We even regulate the type of structure that can be erected. Our beaches are no different. Our coastline and access to the water are our main attractions. Not the seals and sea lions. With a lack of natural predators in our waters and population growth, the problem (yes, it is a problem) will continue to get worse. Will it get your attention when seals and sea lions start to populate La Jolla Shores? I can almost give up the Children’s Pool, but not the beloved Cove. We as residents of La Jolla need to stand up to these irrational animal lovers and do the right thing for EVERYONE. J.J. Bacino

Shared use? With last month’s posted water quality advisory at La Jolla Cove, human swimmers need to think twice about going for a dip in the waters.
Where can I swim? Well, if I can’t swim at The Cove, I can swim at Goldfish Point. No, there are sea lions there. I can swim at Boomer. No, there are sea lions there. I can swim at the La Jolla Caves. No, there are sea lions there. I can swim at Children’s Pool. No, there are seals there. I can swim at South Casa Beach. No, there are seals there. David Pierce
Sea Lions vs People: A case of first come-first served? In 1948, Max Miller, author of “I Cover the Waterfront,” wrote a chapter called, “And There Are Sea Lions” in his book about La Jolla, “The Town with a Funny Name.” His report describes sea lions playing tag with him and local divers, and following him around on his daily swims. Seals and sea lions have been part of La Jolla’s natural setting since before it got its name and it maybe they are simply returning to their habitat abandoned during the California Fur Trading that began in the late 1700s. Tony Ciani Pacific Grove
Are seal protectionists’ hearts in the right place? Does anyone believe the seals and sea lions actually need protection from humans on these teeny, tiny beaches? They are obviously overpopulating the area, evidenced by ever-increasing numbers of starving pup rescues by SeaWorld and others. The only thing the animal activists are accomplishing is allowing seals to overpopulate the area, increasing pup starvation and escalating the potential for disease to suddenly wipe out the local seal population. The seal poop is overwhelming due mainly to the overpopulation in the area, which came from overprotecting the seals by closing off the Children’s Pool from human use. The people who really care about the welfare of these animals are those who want the seal population to normalize — no starving pups. I think the animal activists care more about their own feelings. They want to feel warm and fuzzy about themselves with the mistaken notion that they are “protecting” the birthing mothers and seal pups, when in reality they’re dooming the entire population, carelessly.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Support for Pirasteh’s sculpture is support for so much more I walked by Nasser Pirasteh’s “structure” the other day, trying to figure out how it could cause the City of San Diego such grievance as to impose a $250,000 fine (if it is not removed). It was nearing sunset. I paused and all logic was swept away by the magical colors glittering in all directions, each reflection causing a new enunciation of the scattering light. The hectic day done, I felt inspired, energized, and I started to smile for no apparent reason other than the sheer joy of seeing a kaleidoscope of colors whirling around in his space. I dearly wished I could stand inside the clever dome and continue to be transported into the world of imagination, blocking out the hard edges of our realities. I followed the writings on his white retaining wall — all the comments in support of art, beauty and freedom of expression. Take those away and what do we have left? Thank you Mr. Pirasteh for your generous gift to us, for your vision, for your skill, and for your courage. Neva Sullaway
Watch out for new phone scam I’d like to report a scam phone call last week. A male voice identifying himself as a
Sheriff’s Department officer said that I was required to appear in municipal court within the next two hours for failure to respond to a jury duty notice. When I protested, the caller said I could forestall immediate arrest by giving him a credit card number, which would put my case on hold until I appeared. I asked for a phone number to verify his claim. Of course, I did not give a card number or call the number he gave me, but instead, I called the Sheriff’s Department, which was a different number. The answering person said, “What you experienced is a scam, report it to the police department. I did and, after a 15-minute wait for someone to pick up, I was told not to bother filing a report, because they could do nothing about it! Phyllis Minick
Slow water leak can lead to high water bill My last water bill was $1,116.76 — about six times my normal bill. My plumber found an undetectable underground sprinkler system leak. San Diego public utilities were very unforgiving, and would not discount my bill even though most of my charges were in their highest cost level. If the water company billed every month, like every other business, my water leak would have been discovered sooner. Why are they allowed to bill every two months? Check your water meter often to make sure this does not happen to you! Rebecca Jorgenson
Service dog rules nicely presented Thank you, La Jolla Light and reporter Ashley Mackin, for the May 5 article clarifying the ADA guidelines for service animals in public places. It is very specific and I hope those who bring their dogs into grocery stores will read it and understand. Vons a is a great store, and if they, or any other store, should ask a customer “if it is a service dog and what service it performs,” remember, they are not being mean, or discriminating, but following the law. True service animals should always be welcome, but all others should be left at home, never in a hot car. Mary Rayes
La Jolla Light’s library coverage helps connect community The La Jolla Light continues to provide superb coverage of the La Jolla Library events, most recently the full page (May 5) dedicated to our very well received “Auction Book Roadshow” that brought in 60 visitors wanting to know the value of their old books. Your story with the accompanying color photos is a perfect example of the newspaper’s value to the community.

FROM COASTAL EROSION, A1 where the sea directly impacts the landform of the coast and their chief purpose is to protect property, infrastructure and human habitation. Scattered all over our coast, they appear in different forms. The boardwalk in Mission Beach and the Children’s Pool walkway are seawalls. Robert Rundle, principal regional planner and sand expert at San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) explained that these structures are very controversial. “Some of them appear to be natural because they’ve made them look like natural rock and aesthetically, they look better,” Rundle said. “Others are just big concrete walls.” When people started constructing property and infrastructure too close to the shoreline, and the eroding effect of the ocean jeopardized those investments, it made sense for some to attempt protection with seawalls. Bird Rock, Solana Beach, Encinitas and other cliffside coastal communities offer examples of this practice. Building a seawall not only modifies the natural state of the shore, but it prevents the constructed stretch from erosion and that will add sand to our beaches. In fact, when a community gets approval from the Coastal Commission to build a seawall, it needs to contribute to two mitigation funds: one is a recreational impact fee and the other a fund for future beach nourishment programs. “There’s a good reason for seawalls, people want to protect their property, but that has a consequence,” Rundle said. “The contribution to the sand budget has been reduced.” Attorney Marco Gonzalez is a long-time coastal activist. He said he believes that people who built on an eroding coastline took a risk and taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for projects to protect them. “We shouldn’t be subsidizing them,” Gonzalez said. “That being said, the California Coastal Act and coastal laws require the State to approve seawalls to protect private property.” Rundle added, “There are a lot of people who want to see the shore stay as natural as possible.”
Sea level rise
The scientific community and worldwide leaders took a unprecedented stand during the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris: They want to fight predicted sea level rise. The United Nations website for climate change (www.cop21.gouv.fr/) predicts that the average sea level rise is expected to be 9-12 inches by 2065 and 16-24 inches by 2100. NOAA has developed online tools to calculate what a rise in sea level would mean in our local context. Using those tools, the La Jolla Light offers three maps to illustrate the effects on La Jolla Shores and Torrey Pines Beach. The maps show that even a minimum 1-foot increase would result in serious flooding in the Torrey Pines area. A 2-foot rise would inundate part of the existing beach in La Jolla Shores, as well as compromise the Spindrift Golf Course. A third map shows the intense devastation that 6-foot flooding could cause in the area. These maps can be accessed at coast.noaa.gov/slr Linwood Pendleton, an environmental
La Jolla Shores in the event of a 2-foot sea level rise. Note that the Spindrift Golf Course (displayed in green), is an unconnected low-lying area that also may flood. A more detailed analysis of these areas is required to determine the susceptibility to flooding. economist who holds the International Chair of Excellence at the European Institute for Marine Studies, has published papers like "Estimating the potential impacts of climate change on Southern California beaches." He currently lives in France, so he answered La Jolla Light’s questions via e-mail. “The effect of sea level rise on beaches is complicated,” Pendleton wrote. “More than just increased inundation, sea level rise can change the nature of waves (direction, angle, etc), and the degree to which beaches naturally accrete or erode, even when sediments are readily available.”
Torrey Pines, a case study
The paper “The economic costs of sea-level rise to California beach communities,” (Philip G. King, Ph.D., Aaron R. McGregor and Justin D. Whittet, California Department of Boating and Waterways San Francisco State University) modeled sea level rise scenarios in the next 100 years in five California beaches, one of them Torrey Pines. The analysis considers the economic benefits of sandy beaches in terms of the funds they generate from residents and tourists, and the tax revenues garnered. In the costs category, it considers the monetary investments that beach nourishment and

coast armoring require. The study takes estimates of 3.2, 4.5 and 6.5 feet of sea level rise in the next 100 years and delves into the consequences of each. The scarce development at sea-level in the Torrey Pines Beach area would prevent much of the infrastructure flooding damage, that would be basically Highway 101 and the railroad, which would cost taxpayers $3.4 million in 2050 and $5 million in 2100. The scientists calculate that building seawalls to protect the infrastructure (at a computed cost of $68.5 million), the concurrent loss of a quarter of the existing beach by 2050 could result in a more than $45 million loss in habitat value, beach-goers spending and tax revenues. The study states that using nourishment projects to maintain the existing beach width would require $6 million. “While nourishment could help to minimize losses related to recreational value, spending and taxes, nourishment could also result in reductions to habitat value not modeled in this report. Any future analysis should seriously evaluate incremental planning approaches, like managed retreat that promotes both the wellbeing of the natural coast and the long-term sustainability of coastal economies,” the study concludes. Managed retreat is a concept many
scientists are talking about, but one that many near-shore property owners may not like. It consists of allowing an area that was previously not exposed to flooding by the sea to become flooded by removing coastal protection. Gonzalez called himself a “big fan” of managed retreat.
The costs of beach nourishment
Beach nourishment is not only expensive, it also takes a toll on the natural environment where sand is placed. A research paper by UC San Diego biologists Tyler Wooldridge, Heather J. Henter and Joshua R. Kohn states that the recovery time for invertebrate populations living in the sand after a beach nourishment is longer than previously thought. The team monitored the invertebrate community for 15 months following the 2012 SANDAG replenishing program. Those invertebrates are the food that sustains many shorebirds, and are a key agent of marine life ecosystems. "It's thought that white, sandy beaches contribute to the tourist industry, and that's a very big component of our economy," Kohn said recently, in an interview with KPBS. "Those forces need to be weighed SEE COASTAL EROSION, A27

After an April weekend of community voting at La Jolla’s Riford Library and La Jolla Farmers Market for C2 Education’s Gallery of Dreams — an art show featuring work created by La Jolla’s young artists — Muirlands Middle School student Olive Winograd won a $1,000 scholarship. On April 16, Olive presented her artwork, which showcased a “dream genie” and represents her hope “for everyone else’s dreams to come true.” As part of the grand opening of support center C2 Education, 18 students submitted artwork to compete for a $1,000 donation from the tutoring company for a college scholarship. The community chose the top winners through a voting campaign. The Winograd family plans to save Olive’s winnings so she can attend a school in South Carolina to become an animator.

Garrett J. Bleakley wins Northwestern Mutual’s Managing Partner Achievement Award Financial Security Company Award Recognizes Overall Excellence
Torrey Pines as it would be affected by a 1-foot sea level rise FROM COASTAL EROSION, A24 against potential biological harm." Surf communities also don’t like beach nourishment. Julia Chunn-Heer, policy manager at San Diego Surfrider Foundation called these programs “a necessary evil at this point.” The surfers group has monitored the effect in the wave brakes of the 2012 SANDAG sand placement. Their conclusion is that smaller amounts of sand may less disturb the surf spots along the coast. Chunn-Heer highlighted the economic and cultural importance of surfing. “How many people would sit at the beach if there were no surfers?” she asked.
So, is it worth it?
Environmental economist Pendleton suggested that there is no simple answer to whether beach nourishment is good or bad. “Whether or not beach nourishment makes sense economically depends upon the cost and effectiveness of the nourishment, the potential benefits to people, the potential costs to ecosystems and the benefits they provide, and the alternatives (which include managed retreat, sea walls, etc) including all of the costs and benefits of the alternatives,” he wrote.
COURTESY OF NOAA
Pendleton suggested that a growing population and a possible future scarcity of sandy beaches should be computed in the economic analysis of the beach nourishment benefits. He wrote, “We have to look at the annual costs and benefits of beach nourishment, as well as the long-term costs and benefits to understand whether beach nourishment makes sense for San Diego and where.” When asked the question, Is beach nourishment worth it? Gonzalez replied, “Absolutely. We loose the beach, we loose the recreational opportunity, we have a negative impact in terms of property, values, tourism and quality of life.” He added, “In the extent that we value those things, I think we have the option of building seawalls, removing property or putting sand on the beach. Sand on the beach is our best option.” On the topic, SANDAG planner Rundle said, “Someone needs to answer the question, Is it important it is to have a white sandy beach at Torrey Pines? And if that’s the case, chances are you are going to have to do artificial replenishment to keep it that way.” ■ Got questions? E-mail them to mduran@lajollalight.com

Heady topics for young actors in two new shows ‘A Piece of My Heart’ tells stories of female Vietnam vets FROM NORTH COAST REP REPORTS hen the high school-age actors step on the North Coast Repertory stage to tell the stories of six women who served in the Vietnam War in “A Piece of My Heart,” the audience will likely be filled with many who know little of the harrowing history of the women who served in Vietnam and one who lived it — and inspired the play. Highly decorated U.S. Army Veteran Doris “Lucki” Allen, who inspired the character “Steele” in Shirley Lauro’s 1991 play, will be on hand Thursday, May 19 and Friday, May 20 for talk-backs after the performances. Allen, who volunteered for Vietnam service in the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) at age 40 and retired 30 years later after a distinguished career in military intelligence with the rank of CW3, has called the character of Intelligence Office Steele a true portrayal of her three tours in Vietnam and “A Piece of My Heart” “a masterpiece.” Lauro’s play, which is suitable for middle school ages and up, follows Steele and five other women through their enlistment, tour of duty and return home to a not always so grateful nation. It’s based on Keith Walker’s oral history of 26 women who served, including nurses, Red Cross workers and WACs. “This story is so important to remember because often the women who served were not considered vets — they were written off,” said director Siobhan Sullivan Crews. “With all that is happening around the globe today — and especially with the 22 women now approved to serve in combat leadership roles — I think it is important to remember those SEE NC REP, B8

J* Company stages Caribbean tale of hope, perseverance BY DAVID L. CODDON eet Asaka, Mother of the Earth. She’s one of four gods ruling over a Caribbean island in a spirited musical tale about the power of love and breaking down barriers. The show is “Once On This Island,” produced by J* Company Youth Theatre Group and opening May 13 at the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Its Asaka is 17-year-old Noga Tour, a senior at Canyon Crest High School and a seasoned veteran of past J*Company productions including “West Side Story” and “Rent.” Tour calls the role of Asaka “a motherly, sassy part. She’s very loving, but it’s a behind-the-scenes kind of love.” Her big number is “Mama Will Provide,” in which Tour gets to exhibit her considerable singing and dancing talents.

Nursery school revisited
P
La Jolla Cultural Partners
reschool is a whole new world since my sons went. Two of my grandchildren go to a preschool in L.A. that is not only very environmentally conscious but also has a zero tolerance policy for sugar (bad for you) and nuts (someone could be allergic) on school grounds. (Knives would probably be OK.) I’m almost sure I remember my preschool sons being given ice cream from time to time, and certainly cupcakes for a classmate’s birthday. My daughter-in-law says it’s a challenge to find a treat you can bring in to school for a celebration. Or at least one that any of the kids actually want to eat. I also remember that the curriculum at my sons’ preschool involved a lot of time in a Superman cape. Current events? Not so much. That’s why I’m pretty dazzled at what my five-year-old granddaughter has already learned in school about environmental issues. We were down watching the sunset over the ocean, the pelicans gracefully coasting the wind currents overhead. I told the grandkids that if I could come back as something else, I’d want to be a pelican. I like fish and the idea of flying around with my pelican friends seemed like a pretty good life to me, especially if it also avoided Time Warner Cable and United Airlines. (For the
record, my husband Olof wants to come back as one of my sister’s cats. No creature on Earth has a better deal.) I asked the kids what they would like to be if they could. My three-year-old grandson knew immediately: A cheetah because they run really fast. My granddaughter knew right away as well: A polar bear. But then she got teary. “But I’d probably be all by myself since they’re nearly es-tinct. There might not be any others besides me!” She launched into a lengthy discourse about the plight of polar bears using terms like “global warming” and “Arctic” (she carefully pronounces it Arc-Tic) and has already made it her life’s work to save them. I consider this a good thing. But I was pretty amazed to hear her say it. We still have all the “Curious George” books from when my kids were little, and my granddaughter asked me to read her the first one in the series. This is the one where George, the monkey, is captured in the African jungle by the Man with the Yellow Hat to bring to a U.S. zoo. My granddaughter was shaking her head in dismay the whole time. “You should never do that,” she kept saying. “You should leave the animals where they are. They don’t belong in a zoo.” (Watch out, SeaWorld. She’s coming for you next.) Interestingly, I have my own issue with
Grandparents get to read the ‘Curious George’ series, a third time around. Curious George. In the book “Curious George Gets a Medal,” George brings a box of soap flakes into the house along with the hose and creates a big soapy lake which, the author mentions in an afterthought/aside at the end, the (un-named! unseen! unpaid!) “kind woman next door” spends “hours” cleaning up. As a fourth generation feminist, I felt morally compelled to note to my granddaughter, “George and the Man with the Yellow Hat should have rented a Shop Vac and cleaned it up themselves!” She nodded. I wonder what she would make of stories I grew up reading like “Little Black Sambo,” which I’m sure has disappeared from children’s libraries. Unlike the unfortunately stereotypical fare of its era, it was the story of a clever, resourceful kid who outwits four tigers who are out to eat him. (The tigers ultimately do themselves in through no fault of Sambo.) Now that I think of it, it’s probably the Save the Tigers folks who put the kibosh on this book. One thing that has absolutely not changed since my kids were in preschool: germ

warfare. Between two different nursery school classrooms and a baby in Mommy & Me, at least one of the grandkids is always sick. Our pediatrician used to assure us that these early childhood illnesses were building up the kids’ immune systems, which would benefit them greatly later in life. So why are the parents’ immune systems, veterans of all those preschool ailments, getting regularly flattened with all these bugs as well? Or are these new breeds of microbes to which the folks – never mind the grandparents — have no defense? At least one grandkid invariably shows up with a runny nose and we are generally sick within days of the time the little germ bag leaves. At this point, we don’t even try to avoid getting sick because a) it doesn’t work, and b) we’d miss a whole lot of snotty hugs. Hugs are hugs, snotty or not. Still, I might just be glad I got to school when we were allowed to eat cupcakes. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light. Reach her at inga47@san.rr.com

First Prize winner ‘Members’ Choice,’ is this floral interpretation of Francisco de Zurbarán’s ‘St. Francis in Prayer in a Grotto’ by Hiroko Fukuhara, from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana. teacher at Ohara Ikebana, explained her own floral design, based on Pan Gongkai’s 45-foot long brush-and-ink piece, “Noble Virtues.” “ ‘Noble Virtues’ is a very cultured form of Chinese painting, over 2,000 years old, that shows the character of each season as expressed by its finest plants — bamboo for summer, chrysanthemums for autumn, plum blossoms for winter, orchid for spring,” she said. “And Pan Gongkai is very famous in China, for creating a new way to do this traditional painting. Very contemporary, and so good!” Since Zhang didn’t have any plum blossoms, but she did have a graceful apricot
branch with a single small fruit on it, she used that instead. Such substitutions are allowed in Ikebana, but every part of the arrangement must be perfect. “We are very picky,” she said, smiling. And she noted that it wasn’t really odd that an exhibit of Chinese painting should inspire so many Japanese floral arrangements, since Ikebana originally came from China. After admiring the blooms, Bloom Bash guests moved on to the rest of the evening’s attractions, which including tasty tidbits, creative cocktails, lots of live music and dancing. For the 1,000-plus attendees, it was definitely a Bash to remember.

Field trip to Costa Rica yields lesson plans for teacher
BY ASHLEY MACKIN ishop’s School science teacher Pamela Reynolds spent an inspirational week on a field trip to Costa Rica in April, which she hopes will be stimulating for her students as well. Drawing from her experiences in the Caribbean, Reynolds said she will bring a new approach to field research to the Bishop’s classroom. Out of more than 200 applications nationwide, Reynolds was one of 30 teachers selected for this year’s Ecology Project International (EPI) Research and Educational Fellowship program. Aimed at reminding teachers why they became educators and hoping to re-ignite that passion, EPI offers professional development projects at five sites across the world – Costa Rica, Baja Mexico, the Galapagos islands, Belize and Yellowstone. “We look for teachers who have experience with field study, already integrating these experiences into the classroom and getting students into field science outside the classroom,” ASHLEY MACKIN said EPI marketing coordinator Micah The Bishop’s School Sewell. “The teachers tend to come science teacher from different experience levels. Some are just starting but looking for tools to Pamela Reynolds bring field study into their classrooms, others are long-time educators with a proven history in field study. Our hope is to create a fellowship where educators can learn from each other as much as they learn from us.” Reynolds,who has taught at Bishop’s for the past seven years, spent eight days in Costa Rica studying “cloud forest” ecology and leatherback turtles, and said she benefitted greatly from engaging in first-hand field research in the role of the student. In the cloud forest ecological system – a rain forest that is constantly in a high-humidity state and named because of its high precipitation appearing like clouds – Reynolds looked at

EPI Fellows study signs of leatherback turtles and their nests. the abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) components of that ecosystem. “So as a group we evaluated the system, asked questions, proposed research projects and things to test, and then we went out and performed these tests and presented that data, noting ways to do better,” she said. “A lot of the stuff in the classroom is very controlled, and this is not a controlled environment, so it gave us an understanding of how to design a good research question and some of the pitfalls of working with living organisms. It got us thinking of how we can take that back to our classrooms.” As a tentative project, looking at microenvironments, Reynolds said she might facilitate experiments at La Jolla Cove. During her time in the second research station to study turtles, she and the group traveled by boat down a river system to an estuary where leatherback sea turtles nest. “There aren’t any cities nearby, so the estuary was bought to prevent development and loss of habitat. The issue is that turtle eggs are valuable because they’re high in protein and considered an aphrodisiac in some cultures,” she explained. “So we patrolled the beach to deter poachers and protect the turtle nests. If the turtles lay their eggs and nest below the tide line, we’d move the nest to higher ground. Or we’d cover up the traces of a nest so poachers don’t look for it.” An added benefit, she said, is that local teenagers work with EPI Fellows in areas affected by poachers and are less likely to poach as adults.
Needing to pose and answer questions about the nesting turtles, Reynolds said she got a refresher course on the KWL method. “I was reminded to ask my students what do you know, what would you like to know, and what did you learn? Rather than leading research or telling the students what they should be looking for, we want to allow them to lead themselves through it.” By doing so, she said with infectious enthusiasm, “It puts a student’s education back on the student. And that’s what we want our kids to get out of any education, the ability to be autonomous and be independent learners. “A lot of times, we have so much content to unload and not enough time to do it. Maybe learning might be strengthened, not by more information, but more tools to creating an independent scholar. That’s what I came back with. I’m stepping back more in the classroom,” she said. Sewell said what teachers bring back to the classroom varies, but more often that not, they come back to their schools “fired up” and inspired to step back. “That's one of EPI’s biggest strengths, rebuilding that passion. Educators are always excited to exchange ideas with each other. Whether it’s the curriculum pieces they gather or laying the framework for a research project that they can do with their students … It’s so cool to see the ripple effect,” he said. — Teachers interested in applying for the program must go through an application process that opens July 1 at ecologyproject.org

FROM NC REP, B1 who initially paved the way. “This show is definitely a labor of love for me. I was in a production of the show in 1995 and it changed my life,” said Sullivan Crews, who also directed and acted in “A Piece of My Heart” at Mo’olelo Performing Arts Company in San Diego in 2005. “That was the first time I realized how powerful a tool theater was in bringing social awareness and responsibility to a community.” To ensure authenticity and help her teen-age actors understand the complex material, Sullivan Crews brought in former military nurse Susan Farese to teach the cast about nursing, her overseas experience in Korea, and the intensity of the female Vietnam veteran experience. (Adding to the authenticity, Sullivan Crews added that, “Our WAC and Navy Nurse uniforms are actually from the early to mid-1960s.”) Farese said she was moved by the experience of teaching the young actors about nursing. “I definitely feel this play is important for all generations … to teach us, remind us, celebrate and/or convey history
and the fact that females were not regarded well — appreciated, valued, etc. — in Vietnam or afterward, and that they also suffer from PTSD, drug and alcohol issues,” she said. “They endured early losses, provided nursing care to patients with tragic, horrific medical injuries, and experienced death at such young ages.” The timing of the production is apt, running on Armed Forces Day May 21 and a week before Memorial Day. The audience is asked to bring a small care package of personal hygiene items to donate to a shelter for homeless vets. A performer playing guitar and singing Vietnam-era songs in the café will accept donations to help homeless vets, as well. ■ IF YOU GO: Showtimes are 5 p.m. May 19; 7 p.m. May 20; and 2 and 6 p.m. May 21 and May 22 at North Coast Repertory Theater, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

FROM J* COMPANY, B1 never heard of it,” Landwehr said, quickly adding that “Once On This Island,” among other things, delivers a potent message. “The theme of the show is really about how we need to, as a society, not allow ourselves to be sectioned off into silos or different races or classes. It’s perfect for what’s happening today in the political world. It speaks so well through the ages. We’re all one melting pot, especially here in America. We need to embrace that. “The goal of everything we do here is to try to find what the theme is and how we can bring in what we discover in this play and use it to make the world a better place.” Besides looking for answers to inequities and injustices in the world, J*Company’s young performers’ athleticism is being tested. “Once On This Island’s” choreography is by San Diego luminary Michael Mizerany, who has collaborated on Landwehr productions before. “The dance that Michael Mizerany is doing is challenging these kids in ways they’ve never been challenged before,” said
Landwehr. “It’s very earthbound and Africana. They walk out of rehearsal and say ‘I never knew I had a muscle here!’” Even with the challenges, “Once On This Island” is proving to be an exciting experience for Tour. “There’s a lot of intrinsic joy” to the musical,” she said. “The parts are all very bright and large.” On a bittersweet note for Tour, this will be her last time working with Landwehr as her director as she’ll be heading off to UCLA in the fall. “He gives us the artistic liberty to find the roles in ourselves,” she reflected outside a recent rehearsal, ” and (emphasizes) that it should be our production. He’s incredibly supportive and he values the ensemble.” “Once On This Island” will run through May 22. Coming up next year for J*Company Youth Theatre Group: productions of “The Wiz” and “Ragtime.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Once On This Island,” plays matinees, evenings May 13-22 at the Garfield Theatre in the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive.

La Jolla painter Leah Higgins in her studio
PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN
Kate Sessions estate provides backdrop for art classes BY ASHLEY MACKIN a Jolla painter Leah Higgins, known for her paintings of architecturally and historically significant houses and glorious gardens, offers art classes twice a week in her home, an estate once owned by San Diego horticulturalist Kate Sessions. Between the house and structures on the property, and the lush and diverse garden, the Soledad-area house provides the perfect backdrop and inspiration for budding painters. After retiring from the health industry in 2001, Higgins reignited her love of painting. With strength in painting houses – thanks largely to her college fiancé, who studied architecture and whom she assisted by drawing architectural renderings – she decided that would be her niche. “I like gimmicks because the art competition is so stiff in La Jolla because so many people love to paint landscapes and plein air, so my gimmick was houses,” she told La Jolla Light. In the years surrounding her retirement, she would paint (by commission) people’s houses onto birdhouses.
L
“I did that for years, not so much anymore, but I did get a request recently for a house as a wedding gift,” Higgins said. “Because I’ve gotten better at it, I included the bride and groom on the house.” As the birdhouse demand faded out, she returned to painting houses on canvas. “I started out painting pictures of homes for Realtors as closing gifts,” she said. “I love painting homes because I can landscape them however I want or how the Realtors imagine. When the homes are new, there is no landscaping, but people would tell me what they planned to do, and I would paint that on. Then I print them onto a little card and they can have it with them.” Higgins added, “I started showing my paintings at Girard Avenue Collection … but I was encouraged to paint local scenes and historic places, like the La Valencia Hotel and Mary, Star of the Sea Church, The Bishop’s School, St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church and more.” She also shows work at Bird Rock Art Nest. With a blossoming reputation, Higgins was soon asked to teach painting classes. She had garage space on her property, so she SEE ARTIST, B17

Marine art featured at Coffee Roasters this month
BY JANE WHEELER The work of Bird Rock Coffee Roaster’s May artists — Mark Rosen and Ralph Pace — create a bold and conscious vibe in the art and music collective this month at 5627 La Jolla Blvd. Artist Rosen has produced a new collection of dynamic abstracts in his signature bold style. Environmental photojournalist Pace is showcasing his most amazing photo, a 140-pound Opah fish off the coast of San Clemente. Known to be the only full-bodied warm-blooded fish, Pace’s shot of this rare fish in its natural habitat was featured in National Geographic magazine. Pace brings his love of marine science to a conscious level by using it to create awareness on environmental issues. Each photo is framed (with reclaimed oak wood once used to store Prussian helmets), by his father Oz Pace, a famous Virginia artisan, framer and woodcrafter who has his work hanging in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Pace said always had a strong appreciation for nature. In 2009, he moved to San Diego to attend graduate school at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) to study marine conservation. There he used an economic value of a surfing break and photography to stop the construction of a marina project that would ruin a lagoon, critical sea turtle nesting habitat and a world-class surf break in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
Ralph Pace has photographed marine life across the globe. After working in the traditional marine sciences, he said he realized he could have a broader impact if he focused on using photography as a way to raise awareness and educate the public about the issues the world’s environments are facing. Using his education in science, Pace works with scientists, nonprofits and governmental agencies to act as an interpreter to simplify

scientific messages through imagery to help push conservation agendas. Pace has worked with The Nature Conservancy, PEW, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Whale Trust Maui, Sea Turtle Conservancy, Parque National Tortuguero, Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research (P.I.E.R), Medical
Missionaries, Sportfishing Association of California and SIO. His works have been published by National Geographic, Nature, Smithsonian, GEO, Discover, Science et Vie Junior, National Wildlife Magazine, Sportdiver, National Wildlife, Sportfishing Magazine, Golf Range, Southern Fried Science and the Weather Channel.

A second facility in Kerney Mesa, Door of Hope, will also be financed to continue offering housing to homeless women with children. Altogether, 15 women from San Diego received the Women of Dedication lifetime achievement award this year, which has honored more than 500 community volunteers since 1955. Four women from La Jolla were among the honorees: Valerie Cooper, Karin Friedrich Donaldson, Charlotte Perry and Lisa Wilson.

Sci-fi meets architecture in Arthur C. Clarke Center series What would it be like to live in 2080 London? BY WILL BOWEN magine it is the year 2080. You are living in London and you work for an architectural firm. The waters of the River Thames, which pass through the heart of your city, have risen significantly and are expected to rise even more as the result of a rise in the North Sea’s levels. In response to a global temperature increase that has caused the polar ice packs to melt, the entire Atlantic Ocean is cresting over shorelines. As an architect, what would you do to house London’s growing population, knowing that the Thames is rising and some of the most sought-after living space in the city is now underwater — and more will soon disappear? This was the futuristic question (or “thought experiment”) posed for consideration by the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, May 4 during the first of a two-part series at the Atkinson Auditorium in the Calit2 building on the UC San Diego campus. Although the focus was on the city of London, it could just as easily have been on La Jolla or any other coastal town facing the imminent threat of rising ocean level. Scientists estimate that 200 million people live along coastlines within 15 feet of sea level, which is the amount the oceans may rise in the next 100 years. Visual Arts Professor and Director of the Clarke Center, Sheldon Brown, introduced the topic and served as moderator of the discussion, which included a talk on the science involved in the predicament by sci-fi writer Kim Stanley Robinson and a speculative architectural proposal submitted in real time over the Internet by London architect Usman Haque.
I
Could global warming and sea level rise submerge London in 2080? Brown started off by stating the intent of The Clarke Center was to create, “An engagement with the future,” a speculation about how we might deal with an upcoming possibility. He then introduced Robinson observing, “He has probably thought about the future more than anyone else.” Robinson, a UCSD alumnus with a Ph.D. from the literature department, has written more than 18 science fiction novels, including “The Mars Trilogy,” which all rely
FILE
on hard science. He has won many awards, including the Hugo Award for best novel, and is currently completing a book about a futuristic New York City now mostly under water due to sea level rise. Robinson warned those gathered that sea levels are rising even faster than scientists thought they would. “This is one of the greatest problems that humanity faces,” he said, SEE LONDON, B21

A Guide to Remodeling Your Business With the recent boom in Downtown San Diego and the neighboring areas, many business owners may be thinking of ways to fit in with the new surroundings. Now may be the time to consider an update or facelift to keep up with the demand for newness while also paying service to the locals who have their favorite establishments. At Murfey Construction, we do more than just home builds and remodels. We have a long history of ground-up construction as well as remodels for commercial properties. As with any major project, it is important to have a solid plan before you make any big steps,
especially with something as important as your business. So here are a few key points to keep in mind. Remodeling is an Investment Most remodels will be costly. But an update can boost the perceived value of your store and your overall brand. Determine the needs of the community This will also help determine how much of an investment you make into your remodel. Many businesses have suffered by spending too much on a cosmetic remodel, only to see the business fold within a year of completion. Some of this comes from hoping that an underperforming store or restaurant will be miraculously changed with a cosmetic update. But also don’t confuse outdated for “homey”—with the changing clientele, you want to make sure your business can attract the new residents who will be flooding into the community. Curb appeal will go a long way. Set a clear plan for your project What needs to be done? Is your property in need of demolition? Can you preserve
infrastructure such as plumbing, loadbearing beams, and the gas lines and electrical panels? Do you need to add new restrooms or update an old kitchen? Is the layout underperforming? Can you get away with minor refacing, such as new flooring, wall paint, and fixtures? Do you really just need to replace appliances or repaint? Think of the best way to maximize your investment at every price level. It might end up being only a new sign or storefront. Choose an experienced contractor and team If you are making an investment into your company, you want someone who knows the ins and outs and can help you plan for contingencies. Also, inexperienced workers can delay the time of construction, losing you valuable business. You also need a team that can ensure what permits are needed and how they should be processed and who are up to date on the most recent safety codes. Bad work can end up shutting down your business just as you’re ready to take off. Make sure you set a viable timeline
You and your contracting team should work not only the finance numbers but the time numbers (time is money, after all). Working with a set timeline helps to minimize costs and losses. If your business remains open during construction, utilize the space well Have a set plan for what work will be done in what area at what time. You will still need to present your merchandise in a way that doesn’t detract from both its appeal and its accessibility. Make sure you have an uncluttered space that makes the flow of traffic easy for customers (without interfering with the construction team). Consider how cash registers will fit and how all your customer’s needs must be accommodated. Column continued at http://www.lajollalight.com/ news/2016/apr/12/A-Guide-toRemodeling-Your-Business/

Automatic La Jolla painter Leah Higgins in her garden FROM ARTIST, B9 converted the room into a studio, and started teaching one-on-one. But the requests starting coming in more often, and her one-on-one sessions morphed into classes. “I take people of all levels, people with no experience whatsoever, and those with some experience. I start with lessons such as sketching, color theory, perspective before we start painting,” she said. “I don’t want them to copy anyone else’s art, but I encourage them to take a photograph and paint from that. I prefer painting from photos so people don’t spend hours sitting in the sun.” But some days, when the weather is nice, Higgins will let her students paint in the garden on the grounds as a group. “They can spread out to wherever they want to go and

just paint. But it gets to be a shade issue, most plein air painters wear big hats, so I tell them to bring a hat and slather on the sunscreen,” she said. “I encourage them to take pictures with their cell phones and we print them out here so they can paint in the studio.” Some of her students have painted gardens during the La Jolla Historical Society’s Secret Garden Tour (which this year is Saturday, May 14). That’s a point of pride for the San Diegan, who grew up in the house where she resides. Kate Sessions was a botanist and horticulturalist in the early 1900s. She is responsible for the majority and variety of old trees in Balboa Park and is credited with importing and popularizing jacarandas and other plants found throughout San Diego. —For more information on the art classes, visit leahhigginsart.com

The Kitchen Shrink to the rescue with a guide to defensive shopping: That’s Greek (or Latin) to Me: The old adage, “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it,” still applies, especially with the tongue-twisting names (derived from ancient Greek and Latin) of such notoriously toxic chemicals as: • butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) that are designed to extend shelf life even though they may shorten human life; • potassium bromate used to fluff up baked goods; • sodium nitrate that wallops the pancreas and liver, but preserves cured meats, such as hot dogs and cold cuts, while also infusing foods with unnatural but appetizing colors; and • monosodium glutamate or MSG, a neurotoxin that spikes the flavor of everything from soup to nuts, but triggers jack-hammer migraines, vision impairment, and even disorientation if consumed in larger quantities.
To Dye For: Save the electric shades of green, red, blue and yellow food coloring for Halloween décor and science experiments. Artificial dyes, including Blue #1 and #2, Green #3, Red #40, and Yellow #5 and #6, which are laced into snacks, cake frostings, candies, soft drinks and sugary cereals have been linked to various health risks from neurological and behavioral problems to certain cancers. If you still want to add vibrant eye candy to special confections or desserts — such as red velvet cupcakes — use natural food colorings extracted from red berries or beets for ruby hues, chlorella algae for flamboyant greens, elderberries for striking purples, turmeric for bright golden tones, and the butterfly pea for true blues. Be an Organic Fanatic: Not all organics are created equal. While we strive to look for the “9” that starts the code for organic designation on USDA labels affixed to fruits and vegetables, make sure you also check where they were grown. Safest and healthiest choice is to buy locally (or at least U.S.) sourced produce, since it is fresher, in season, and not having been transported over long distances has a small carbon footprint. Even more important: Foods carrying the “USDA Organic” stamp adhere to stricter codes and standards for organic certification than imported ones. The latter may also be toxic (in
■ Ingredients: 1 jar (18-ounce) crushed or diced tomatoes 8 ounces mushrooms, (Crimini, button, your choice) sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 red pepper, diced 2 celery stalks, diced 1 handful Italian parsley, chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon honey ■ Method: In a large saucepan heat oil on low and sauté garlic, celery,
spite of being ‘blessed’ with the “USDA Organic” logo) because of the environment in which they were produced. China’s organics, for example, are often contaminated because of that country’s heavily polluted air, water and soil. Can the Cans: Once thought to be inactive and thus harmless, the industrial chemical bisphenol A (i.e., BPA) used in the 1960s to make resins and plastics to prevent food contamination is still found today in the linings of aluminum cans, plastic bottles and other food storage containers. The venerable Mayo Clinic advises consumers to buy BPA-free products to avoid ingesting the chemical, which tends to leach into foods and liquids, especially when they have acidic content, such as tomatoes, pickles, etc.
peppers and mushrooms until tender. Add tomatoes, honey, parsley, seasonings. Simmer for 30 minutes. If desired, transfer sauce in batches to a blender and pulse until smoother texture is reached. Enjoy on pasta, meatloaf, chicken and eggplant dishes. — For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit freerangeclub.com
BPA has been found to elevate blood pressure, increase risk for Alzheimer’s disease, breast and other cancers, and pose risks to the neurological and behavioral development of fetuses, infants and children. Solutions include using glass, porcelain and stainless steel containers and kitchenware. Pyrex and similar impermeable plates and bowls are microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Choose organic juices, vinegars, olive oils and other bottled products sold in glass jars or bottles instead of plastic. If you must buy canned foods — usually recommended as backups during hurricanes or earthquakes — look for cans marked “BPA-free.” I have seen Eden Organic products and some from Muir Glen and Wild Planet in such safer cans.

IN THE GARDEN
Do you know the truth about hot peppers? BY MELINDA MYERS on’t be afraid to add a little spicy heat to your meals this season by growing a few hot peppers in the garden or containers. It’s easier than you think and many of the hot pepper myths floating around the garden are simply not true. Don’t worry about your hot peppers heating up your sweet peppers. Peppers are normally self-pollinated. If an insect happens to move the pollen from a hot to sweet pepper, it will not affect the flavor or heat of this year’s harvest. If you save the seeds from a cross-pollinated pepper and plant them in next year’s garden, the plants they produce may have hot or sweet fruit (or a little of both), but only time will tell. And don’t assume all green peppers are sweet or you will be in for a surprise. jalapeños are typically harvested when green and others, like habanero, Anaheim and Poblano are hot, whether harvested when green or red. You’ll also find that hot peppers can be yellow, orange, brown and, of course, red. You can turn down the heat when preparing your favorite recipes, too. Contrary to popular belief, all the heat in hot peppers does not come from the seeds. While partially true, the majority of the capsaicin that gives hot peppers their heat is in the white membrane that houses the seeds. When the seeds are growing they may also be coated with extra capsaicin from the membrane. So remove COURTESY OF BONNIE PLANTS the white membrane and the Golden cayenne seeds, just to be safe, if you want peppers are hot with to turn down the heat. a Scoville heat level The spicy heat of hot peppers is of 30,000 to 50,000. measured in Scoville Heat Units. The ratings are based on the amount of sugar water needed to neutralize the spicy heat in the extracted capsaicin that has been diluted in an alcohol-based extract. A panel of five taste testers decides when the spicy heat has been neutralized and then assigns the rating. Today many companies use a chemical process (liquid chromatography) but translate their results into the popular Scoville heat units. The Scoville heat unit ratings vary from one type of hot pepper to another, with Poblano rating between 1000 to 2000, jalapeños 2500 to 6000, habaneros at 100,000 to 300,000 and one of the hottest, the ghost pepper, at 1,000,000 to 2,200,000 Scoville heat units. Check online for the Scoville ratings, growing tips and a Pepper Chooser to help you pick the best varieties to grow. Ratings may also vary from individual plants within a specific type based on individual plant differences and the growing conditions. Whatever kind you grow, be sure to label hot peppers when planting, harvesting and storing to avoid any mix-ups. The sweet banana pepper, for example, can easily be confused with hot banana. This could make for an unwelcome surprise when preparing, serving and eating. Also, consider wearing rubber gloves and avoid touching your face and eyes when working with hot peppers, as they can burn. Wash your hands, utensils and cutting boards when finished to avoid any future issues. And don’t worry if you are having a bad day when planting your hot peppers. Contrary to some old adages, planting hot peppers when you’re angry won’t make the peppers hotter, but unknowingly taking a bite of a hot pepper may very well change your mood. — Melinda Myers is a columnist and contributing editor for Birds & Blooms magazine and was commissioned by Bonnie Plants for her expertise to write this article. melindamyers.com

Sheldon Brown
‘Ocean Rising’
FROM LONDON, B16 noting America might end up with some of its major cities — like New York and Miami — halfway under water, becoming a “Super Venice, Italy.” Robinson explained that the problem stems from melting ice in western Antarctica and Greenland, an unstoppable process once it gets going. He is also worried that the ice from eastern Antarctica will also begin to melt to compound the problem. Robinson mentioned one possible solution; building 60 huge pumping stations that would pump the melting ice water back up onto the Antarctic bedrock for refreezing. His presentation was followed by a
“Telesmatic” lecture slideshow by architect Haque that came over the Internet from London in real time. Haque is a founding partner of Umbrellium and Thingful, and has won awards from the Design Museum UK, World Technology, Japan Arts Festival, and Asia Digital Art Association. Haque prefaced his talk with the statement, “I tend to work in the here and now. I don’t usually speculate about many years into the future,” and went on to clarify that he doesn’t consider his work to be “speculative,” which typically produces ironic, tongue-in-cheek designs. He calls his type of futuristic architecture “participatory design,” because “it has no final images or outcomes, but rather designs a system that enables others to produce outcomes.”

Haque said he thinks that in 2080 London, people will be moving away from the Thames River and looking for more space by digging basements and will leave the digging machines in the basements because that will be more cost-effective than bringing them back up to the surface! By necessity, people will be changing their definition of personal space and will be living in closer proximity, in what he calls a “Liquid Democracy.” Things will get done, not by the government, but by liquid groups of people who form their own organizations as needed. The Internet will no longer exist, Haque reasons. Instead, people will communicate by posting messages on giant electronic billboards, which he calls “light walls.”
The main food staple will be algae that people grow at home. There will be no live pets, but instead people will have virtual pets, like holographic cats and dogs. They will sleep in converted, driver-less cars from the company Uber, which they will drive into their homes. ■ IF YOU GO: The Clarke Center will hold another free discussion on London in the year 2080, titled “Mega Malls,” 10:30 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, May 25, at Atkinson Hall Auditorium on the UC San Diego campus. It will feature the speculations of sci-fi writer Vernon Vinge and London architect Marjan Colletti of the Bartlett School of Architecture. The public is invited. imagination.ucsd.edu
