New La Jolla Town Council officers pledge to serve BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN During the May 11 meeting of the La Jolla Town Council (LJTC), new officers were sworn in. Ann Kerr Bache will serve as president; Joseph Pitrofsky, first vice-president; Yolanda de Riquer, second vice-president; Charles Hartford, secretary and Ron Jones, treasurer. Kerr Bache’s first action was to propose a modification to the organization bylaws to keep the immediate past president on

the board as a trustee for one year after he or she steps down. “Most community organizations keep a past president on for another year, to help with the transition,” Kerr Bache said. “For some reason in our bylaws, we did not think about that, it was not included ... and our former president Steve Haskins has served so well.” Changes in the bylaws require 30 days SEE TOWN COUNCIL, A7

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Are you a small business owner looking to fix up your brick-and-mortar? Would you like to do some minor things that wouldn’t require a permit, but would give the place a facelift? There is a city program that offers design assistance and a grant to cover half the improvement costs, up to $8,000. Alissa Gabriel, manager of the San Diego Storefront Improvement Program (SIP), made a presentation to the La Jolla Village Merchant’s Association during its May 11 meeting to remind business owners about the city initiative designed to help businesses fix up the fronts of their buildings. It’s a program that hasn’t had any La Jolla takers for years. “The point is to give yourself a new look or introduce yourself to a neighborhood if you are new to a community,” she said, noting that program funds have been around for more than 20 years and have helped some 400 businesses. “If you have a business of 25 employees or fewer, have a business located in the city, your storefront faces the right-of-way and you have a valid Business Tax Certificate (you qualify),” she said. “Both the property owner and the tenant can qualify for the program. But if you are the property owner, the conditions apply to your tenant.” Improvements that are eligible under the SIP include awnings, lighting, change of exterior color/repainting, SEE VILLAGE MERCHANTS, A3

Vikings to play on new synthetic field come fall BY ASHLEY MACKIN Although La Jolla High School’s Class of 2016 will not be able to walk on their home field at Edwards Stadium as part of graduation next month, when the Class of 2017 walks, they will be doing so on brand new synthetic turf — part of the ongoing work to replace the school’s athletic complex. But some parents have raised safety concerns about the synthetic materials being used. “The stadium field at La Jolla High School is an engineered system that includes a synthetic turf product manufactured by Field Turf. Because the safety of our students is our first priority, the reduced injury rate and

playability associated with the Field Turf product was the primary reason for the district selecting it,” said Cynthia Reed-Porter, communications supervisor for the Communications Office of San Diego Unified School District. The reported benefits of the synthetic turf fields over natural grass fields include reducing overall maintenance compared and better drainage capabilities that reduce the need to reschedule games/events due to poor field conditions after a heavy rain event. Porter said the field includes a crumb rubber infill, which has raised SEE ATHLETIC FIELD, A21

regulations, and take other major portions that are important to communities and retain those as sub-sections of the Code.” Currently evaluating North Park’s regulations, Marengo said he would report back when the La Jolla Land Development Code is up for review.

adding rocks or tile on the surface, landscaping, windows, sidewalk cafes, new address tiles/markers, lighting — anything that affects the way it looks from the street, Gabriel said. “It’s the stuff that wouldn’t require a permit, but just be something that helps a business get going.”

Here’s how it works

When business owners apply for the program, the first thing city representatives do is work with an architect to come up with a design concept for the frontage. After a few meetings, when the business owners are happy with the design, they go out and seek the bids and hire the contractors to carry out their work. Once the work is complete, the owners fill out a final application and attach the receipts and “they get a check from us,” Gabriel said. Maintenance concerns or fixing broken items would not qualify for the funds. Applications also cannot be retroactive, she said, and all paperwork must be in hand before any construction takes place. “Otherwise anyone who has been to Home Depot lately would be calling me.” She added that not a lot of businesses in La Jolla have applied in recent years, with only Wheat and Water Pizzeria in Bird Rock (currently implementing the work), and several years ago, The Cookie Lady (now closed), coming to mind. Other projects eligible for grants include historic projects and multiple-tenant commercial projects. According to the city’s website, applicants for historic projects are awarded two-thirds of the eligible

For multiple-tenant commercial projects, property owners with a commercial building that leases to multiple small business tenants could be awarded one-half of the eligible construction costs up to a maximum of $16,000. Each qualified tenant must have his or her own street-facing entrance.

In other Village Merchants news: ■ PDO to be dissolved? LJVMA

president Claude-Anthony Marengo, who sits on the City’s Code Monitoring Team, reported that the team is evaluating, community by community, respective Land Development Codes and whether they can be simplified. For La Jolla, he said, that could mean integrating the terms of the Planned District Ordinance (PDO) into the Land Development Code. Marengo is a longtime advocate for the abolition of La Jolla’s PDO, due to its antiquated language and frequent derivations that come up during project applications. “Even though I said last year I wanted to get rid of the PDO to force revamping, the revamping process is already happening by way of getting rid of PDOs,” he said. “The (City’s Code Monitoring Team) is going to take the PDO and look at it alongside the Land Development Code for items that have already been integrated, such as parking

■ Mapping the District: As LJVMA’s Economic Development team continues its efforts to attract needed businesses to La Jolla, they will now have a map of La Jolla “districts” to better situate these prospective merchants. Last year, team member Elsie Arredondo (later joined by Brett Murphy and Ike Fazzio), sent out a survey to residents and visitors asking what types of businesses they want to see in the Village. Currently evaluating the results and drafting a proposal to actively draw them to La Jolla, they also now have a map of groupings of similar businesses where appropriate businesses could go. Drawn up by Marengo, the “districts” include an entertainment district where The LOT movie theater sits and where The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center will be located, and a “restaurant row” where restaurants are grouped. The maps were recently handed over to the Economic Development Team. “That’s going to make it easier for us to sell a certain type of business in a certain area,” Murphy said. “I think it’ll do really well.” — La Jolla Village Merchants Association meets 3 p.m. second Wednesdays at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave. lajollabythesea.org

PREP SOFTBALL

Senior powers La Jolla High into playoffs

BY CHRIS SAUR Senior Mazzi Tamaiko has been through it all in her four years as the starting center fielder for the La Jolla High softball team. The Vikings won just seven games total during her freshman and sophomore seasons. So it should come as no surprise that she remained upbeat after La Jolla dropped its final regular-season home outing — Tamaiko was honored before and after the contest as the team’s lone senior — on Friday, May 13. The 8-3 loss to Western League foe University City, a playoff-bound Division III squad, will have no bearing on the Vikings (14-12, 5-7) as they open the D-IV playoffs Thursday, May 19. “We just have to come out harder. We just have to hit a little better,” Tamaiko told the La Jolla Light following a short ceremony where coach Anthony Sarain said some kind words to the crowd about his longtime stalwart. La Jolla earned the No. 3 seed in the CIF San Diego Section Championships and will open in the friendly confines of Mark Wallner Field. It will face the winner of a play-in game between Mission Vista and Morse. “We are looking really solid, we haven’t lost to a Division IV team yet this

But with a

memorable sign made by her teammates hanging on a nearby fence, Tamaiko was part of a rally that gave her squad the early lead. Freshman leadoff hitter Kyra Ferenczy opened the bottom of the first with a single off of Centurion starting pitcher

Natalie Minteer. Next up was Tamaiko, who ripped a single to left, moving Ferenczy into scoring position at second base. One batter later, junior Linda Brown’s single plated Ferenczy and the hosts were up 1-0. University City had an answer, however, as catcher Sabrina Schnaubelt’s double started a two-run rally. Schnaubelt had a huge game, finishing 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run and three RBIs. The Centurions (15-9, 8-4) did most of the rest of their damage in a five-run third inning that featured back-to-back home runs by Schnaubelt and Minteer. But with the postseason on the horizon, the loss wasn’t enough to spoil the celebration of Tamaiko’s four-year career. “It’s been really fun playing, I had a really good time,” said the soft-spoken senior who finished the regular season with a .333 batting average after notching two hits and a walk in her three plate appearances Friday. “It’s been a great experience because we are like a family. This is probably the best season we’ve had in a really long time. We’ve got a lot of good players and I think they are going to well in the next couple of years too.” Though Tamaiko’s average is

Brown enters the playoffs at .518, with team-highs in home runs (seven) and RBIs (32), while Ferenczy’s two hits Friday put her at .473 for the season. Also the team’s pitcher, Ferenczy leads the Vikings with 10 doubles and has slugged three home runs. Another young stud is sophomore shortstop Josie Sinkeldam, who is batting .439 with 27 RBIs. Junior Ava Verbrugghen knocked in La Jolla’s final run Friday. “Our hitting has been really good,” Sarain said. “Our hitters are all very strong, we are scoring a lot of runs. It’s all about hitting for us, scoring runs. Our defense and pitching will keep us in the game. Our defense has been the best we’ve had in the program so far and our pitching has been solid.” When it comes to fielding, third baseman Brown, second baseman Vanessa Shaffer and left fielder Verbrugghen each made sparkling defense plays in the contest. In addition, Tamaiko was steady in center. “She’s doing a great job in center field, which is one of those really tough positions. You have to really be on top of the ball,” Sarain said. “Mazzi has been through tough times and here through good times. “She is one of our captains and she has done a really good job of setting the tone by example. She comes here, works hard and does a good job of putting on a smile when she needs to. I’ve known her, been coaching her off and on, since she was 8 years old. She’s a great kid.” The May 19 playoff opener is set for 3:30 p.m.

Youth baseball ends with championship games BY GEOFF LONGENECKER La Jolla Youth Baseball La Jolla Youth Baseball wrapped up a memorable 2016 season with exciting Championship games in the Pinto, Mustang and Bronco Divisions May 14. The Shetland Division completed their season earlier in the month and the three pony teams play their San Diego Pony Inter-League Playoffs over Memorial Day weekend at Tecolote. The Pinto Championship came down to a matchup between the No. 1 seed Hagan Dentistry, coached by Luke Daniels, and the No. 2 seed Wells Fargo, managed by Greg Spiro. Daniels’ squad rolled through the regular season, notching just one loss, a few weeks ago to Wells Fargo. The stakes were high throughout the game and the play was great on both sides. Big hits by Hagan’s Quinn Daniels, Clyde Kates, Axel Sauvage, Trevor Kula and Beau Sudberry all helped their team take home the 2016 Pinto Championship.

As Red Door Interactive Manager Rick MacDonald said, " I have seen a lot of Mustang baseball, and I think the LJYB history books would be hard-pressed to find a better championship series." The matchup featured Jay Sakamoto's Willis Allen team, the No. 5 seed entering from the "losers" bracket having to win two games against "winners" bracket entry, Red Door Interactive, the No. 7 seed. The first game was close all the way through with quality pitching on both sides — Luke Westfall, Red Door, and Cameron Ouyang, Willis Allen, did an outstanding job as first year Mustang Division players. The game featured clutch hitting throughout — notables were Devin Jones with several blast doubles for Willis Allen and doubles by Walter Birnbaum for Red Door. Willis Allen prevailed with closer Koji Sakamoto recording the final out in the bottom of the 6th to secure an 8-7 win and force an afternoon game for all the marbles. SEE BASEBALL, A30

FROM TOWN COUNCIL, A1 and public notice before they are voted in, so the matter will be discussed at the next meeting. Kerr Bache also set forth her intention to strengthen the Town Council. “I’d like to expand our outreach and intake, inviting other community groups, neighborhoods to participate,” she said. She highlighted the role of the Town Council as a forum for community members who don’t belong to any other organizations, like merchants who aren’t part of the La Jolla Merchants Association. “Or those who don’t read the La Jolla Light back to back every week,” she added. Kerr Bache said the Town Council’s monthly agenda makes time for open discussions about issues before they go through their respective boards for approval, so the Town Council acts as a first contact with the community to provide advice and avoid future problems that can cause items to be pulled from the planning association or other committees. Kerr Bache said she hopes to improve Town Council communications, and has prepared online tools to make the board more efficient.

down. District 1 City Council candidate Barbara Bry added that many of her signs were taken down, too. “And the signs were on private property,” she said. Bry used her turn to ask trustees for their vote and also to rebut accusations made by a Political Action Committee (PAC) that benefitted her contender, Ray Ellis. On a pamphlet sent by mail earlier this month, the Lincoln Club-backed PAC, “Neighborhoods. Not Stadiums” claimed that Bry supported a Charger’s stadium funded by taxpayers. “And it’s unfortunate that one of my opponents has taken the low road and has made misrepresentations about my positions on some key issues,” Bry said.

she would like to see the council host less events, but “bigger and more successful ones.” Second vice-president Yolanda de Riquer described how going forward the monthly mixers, “Sunsetters,” will be less frequent and a “Masquerade 66,” a Gatsby-like costume party in former president Haskins’ plans, will be discussed.

Dist. 1 Council hopefuls share priorities, personalities at forum BY ASHLEY MACKIN The political hopefuls vying for the San Diego City Council District 1 seat that will become available this November gathered at La Jolla Community Center May 9 for a candidate’s forum, which was moderated by La Jolla Community Planning Association President Cindy Greatrex. Each was given the chance to discuss his or her experiences and priorities for the position. Democrats Barbara Bry and Louis Rodolico, Independent Kyle Heiskala and Republican Ray Ellis provided opening and closing remarks, answered pre-selected questions, and audience inquiries during the evening, which drew nearly 75 people. Republican Bruce Lightner did not attend due to a scheduling conflict. The primary election is less than a month away, Tuesday, June 7. Bry, an entrepreneur and former journalist, founded or was part of the founding team for several high-tech companies, such as proflowers.com and she taught entrepreneurship at UC San Diego. “District 1 is the heart of our regions’ high-tech and biotech industries, which are creating the good jobs of the future. If elected, I would be the first high-tech entrepreneur on the San Diego City Council,” she told the crowd.

911 Safety Issues

ASHLEY MACKIN

Kyle Heiskala (standing) answers questions alongside (from left) Barbara Bry, Ray Ellis and Louis Rodolico. Ellis, a community volunteer who has sat on many boards, once chaired the city pension board at the request of former San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders. “I want to bring my successful business experience and leadership skills in the nonprofit sector … to get people that might not agree on all the issues to come together and move the needle on an issue and bring that collaborative spirit to City

Council.” Heiskala, a council representative for outgoing City Council President Sherri Lightner, is a UC San Diego graduate and the only candidate with City Hall experience. “It’s my pleasure to take your phone calls and take your daily requests. I love serving the public and that’s why I got involved. I have a passion for problem solving. I know the job, I see the job being done every day.”

Rodolico, a retired hospital architect, moved to San Diego 15 years ago from Philadelphia and is running for office to “give the Regents Road Bridge (project) a voice,” he said. “When we don’t build the bridge, our high-tech center of UTC suffers because we add 15 additional serious accidents every year involving property damage, injury and death. I do not want to leave those injuries and

Bry said she has a detailed public safety plan that she would implement if elected. In it, she said she would upgrade 911-dispatch technology. “It’s embarrassing that in a high-tech center of San Diego, our police and dispatch do not have 21st century technology,” she said. “I would like to use my high-tech background to make sure we change that; and the first thing I want to do is a survey of 911 dispatch personnel and police officers – those that have left and those that have stayed – to find out how happy they are with their work environment and what we can change.” Added Heiskala, who said the problem has come up in the District 1 office, the solution has to do with staffing for dispatch centers. “Currently in police department dispatch, we have 19 vacancies,” he said. “There are a lot of reasons for that, so one of things we can look at is how we train these individuals and the requirements for training; and if we can increase the pay to make the job more attractive. We also need to look at the system, because if more than 32 people call at the same time (the 33rd and subsequent callers) get a busy signal SEE CANDIDATES, A12

FROM CANDIDATES, A10 and that is not acceptable.”

The Environment

Addressing environmental concerns, such as rising sea levels, increased wildfires and persistent droughts, Ellis and Rodolico also drew from their respective experiences to formulate a solution. Rodolico said, “By not building the Regents Road Bridge, we are putting 10 million pounds of carbon dioxide into the air each year (from idling cars in traffic jams) so building the bridge will assist environmental preservation,” he said. “Also, completing infrastructure, going with mass transit, going solar, all those tools work, but first and foremost we have to educate people on the issue.” Ellis said, “While volunteering with Equinox Center, I went before City Council to urge them to vote in favor of the Climate Action Plan. It was a collaborative effort, involving the business community, the environmental community, and many nonprofits through San Diego. I will work to bring those groups together (in future efforts).”

Short-Term Vacation Rentals

On the contentious issue of Short-Term Vacation Rentals in La Jolla, each candidate shared a plan. Ellis said, “We cannot take our residential areas and turn them into business districts. I want us to consider at Conditional Use Permit (for these rentals) that will outline the details of length of stay, how many people are allowed, making sure we’re collecting all the fees, making sure insurance is in place.” Heiskala shared a story of a man who lived

next to a Short-Term Vacation Rental and called District 1 for help. “He wasn’t getting good sleep due to constant parties. It turned out he’s a brain surgeon, and that should be reason enough to look into regulating this sort of industry. One idea is we can raise the fees to allow for more enforcement, add more code enforcement officers and police presence.” Rodolico said some sort of database of vacation rentals should be created with every rental listed and a point of contact in case something goes wrong. “A lot of times, people don’t know whom to call and we have to correct that,” he said. Addressing the different options within the home rental scene, Bry said she is “fine if you rent a room in your house and I’m fine if you

rent your house when you are on vacation, but what I’m against is houses being turned into permanent mini-hotels in residential neighborhoods.” Each candidate also revealed the endorsements they were most proud of, specifically those from La Jolla. Rodolico explained “endorsements are not something I really pursued (because) I believe in looking at the issues and coming to a conclusion.” Similarly, Heiskala joked, “You all here tonight have an excellent opportunity, because I don’t have any big name La Jolla endorsements yet, so someone here could be the first. Being a late entry into the race, it was a little difficult to pursue endorsements.” Bry said she was most proud of the support

of Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs and community volunteers like Joe LaCava and Sharon Wampler. Ellis said he appreciated his range of supporters, including Ernest Rady, business leaders in the community, and his bi-partisan support. He referenced democrat Tony Young, and republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer as supporters. On the issues in which the candidates were in agreement, all but Ellis said they support the effort to increase the minimum wage. Further, all but Rodolico agreed they would support Proposition H, which would amend the San Diego City Charter to dedicate a portion of future revenues to infrastructure. None of the candidates support using public tax dollars to build a new stadium for the Chargers.

www.lajollalight.com FROM ATHLETIC FIELD, A1 recent speculation regarding the safety of the material and prompted staff to sample available studies and reports addressing the safety of the material. “Current studies by reputable institutions, such as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), report no scientific evidence suggesting the crumb rubber infill material is harmful to humans. In 2008, the CPSC declared that crumb rubber artificial turf was ‘safe to play on.’ The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and the CPSC are continuing to study this issue,” she said. “The district does not have any scientific evidence that alternative infill products are more or less safe for students than the products currently in use. The district would need to study safety, maintenance and operational characteristics of any product(s) with alternative infill before drawing any conclusions or making changes.” She added, “As a school district, we make our decisions based on facts, so we will continue to monitor the scientific research by reputable institutions and governmental agencies on this subject, and change our procedures accordingly.” As part of Proposition S, San Diego Unified School District’s bond measure passed by San Diego voters in 2008, the district began a program to upgrade all high school athletic facilities by either constructing new synthetic turf stadium fields and all-weather running tracks or refurbishing existing facilities where substandard synthetic turf stadium fields and all-weather running tracks were installed in the past. Other San Diego Unified School District schools that have synthetic turf on their fields have the same Field Turf material as La Jolla High. Slated for completion in mid-August, the $12 million construction project will also see the resurfacing of the running track, which will reportedly extend its life by another six to eight years at a cost of $169,863; and the construction of a new boy’s locker room and additional storage space.

Shores Association to ask city for more project funds

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Frustration filled the room at the May 11 meeting of the La Jolla Shores Association (LJSA) as board members showed their irritation over the relentless fight against city bureaucracy and the lack of dedicated funds for community improvements. “It all comes down to financial issues,” said LJSA chair Nick LeBeouf. “I hear us month after month talk about needed changes, and some of these changes happen and some don’t happen.” Drawing their line in the sand, the board voted unanimously to send a letter to Mayor Kevin Faulconer requesting the creation of a specific fund for the Shoreline Park at La Jolla Shores, using some of the revenue generated from kayak concessionaires and other Shores businesses, which the city keeps in its general fund. Trustee John Sheridan confronted Council President Sherri Lightner’s representative Justin Garver on the slow movement of affairs when the city is involved. Garver explained that “the way Park & Rec operates is most of their budget comes from the general fund, so the increased trash pickups are general funded, the additional lifeguards for the area are general funded, additional equipment for the lifeguards is general funded, so currently all of these departments that operate in La Jolla Shores operate off the general fund.” Still, Garver recommended LJSA

bring their request to city authorities. LeBeouf suggested that board members consider starting a Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) in the Shores. “I believe that a MAD for La Jolla Shores would be an incredible improvement for all the projects that we want done that don’t get done for the lack of funding, basically,” he said. LeBeouf encouraged board members and the residents come forward to lead the project. “It’s a lot of work, but I think it would be a great solution,” he said. The drive for a MAD in La Jolla Village is also underway for similar community improvement reasons. (See story, A26) ■ Kayaks and Buses: San Diego Lifeguard Marine Safety Lt. Rich Stropky presented a Shores traffic report to the board. Last summer, a Request for Proposal (RPF) was carried out to reduce the amount of traffic caused by kayak transport from the businesses to the beach. Stropky said kayak-related traffic dropped 70 percent. “We took control of it,” he said. “We made a very efficient schedule that revolves around the duplication of kayaks. So in the morning, they drop 24 off and those kayaks are recycled. They can use 20 kayaks to go on a tour for two hours. When they come back, the next group is ready to go.” Though pleased with the news, the

board brought up another issue: The tourist buses. Stropky said that not much can be done about them. “As long as they are not breaking any community codes, there is no violation for them to come and drop off people, as long as they are abiding by the rules,” he said. Trustees reported that buses, not having four or five parking spots in a row open, stop to drop off tourists on crosswalks. Stropky replied, “If there’s a violation, then absolutely; there’s some enforcement around to take care of that.” Garver suggested citizens remain vigilant of parking violations and identify hourly patterns so authorities can be present. ■ California Pesticides: Trustee Terry Kraszewski brought up concerns about the pesticide used citywide for parks and lawns. She said the substance, which was previously accepted by the State of California, had now been deemed “unsafe,” and “Our children and pets are playing on the grass,” she said. Garver explained that the issue is in litigation, and the State won’t be able to change its legislation about pesticides until the case resolves. But Kraszewski pressed, “We should be the city that bans it, because it’s been deemed unsafe.” The board tabled the discussion to next month’s agenda. ■ Next meeting: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 8 at 8840 Biological Grade. ljsa.org

Air Superiority has your rodent issues covered BY EMILY SORENSEN ired of dealing with gophers, ground squirrels and other rodents in your yard? Air Superiority can help you rein in the rats in a unique way. Air Superiority, owned and operated by Tom Stephan out of Ramona, sells barn owl boxes that can be mounted on 16-foot metal poles or in tall trees. These boxes are designed to attract barn owls, who will live in the box and feed on the rodents surrounding your property. “There are three methods of rodent control,” said Stephan. “There’s poison, there’s traps, and there are barn owls.” Stephan said that poisoning rodents is only effective about 20 percent of the time, and the rodents become used to eating poison. Poisoning rodents also leads to the death of baby barn owls, he said, and using traps means handling the bodies of the rodents. Both methods also only deal with rodents after they’ve invaded your property, he said. “Barn owls will hunt on your property and around it, preventing (the rodents) from getting to your property. Barn owls can consume up to 2,000 rodents a year,” he said. Boxes are required to attract barn owls to your property because they are vulnerable to crows during the day and need a safe place to hide. Stephan recommends buying two boxes, as the male of a breeding pair will be kicked out of the female’s box once eggs are laid, so he will need his own box. Air Superiority offers three styles of barn owl boxes, ranging from basic to luxury. The largest, “Hoo’s Hoo,”

Air Superiority's Tom Stephan, with a basic owl box. has an optional camera that can be installed so homeowners can get an up-close look at the owls living on their property. For an additional fee, Stephan will also install the box on your property, which will ensure it is in the right location and at the right height to attract barn owls. For Stephan, birds of prey have been an obsession since childhood. “I wanted to be a falconer as a kid,” he said. .

“I cut my teeth as a falconer as a kid in Poway. I climbed up to every raptor nest (I saw) as a kid, so when I needed a job, I became a tree trimmer.” Stephan spent 20 years in the tree trimming business, and in 1992, was bidding for a job when he spotted an owl box hanging low on a large sycamore tree in her yard. The woman mentioned that her late husband had installed the box, and sadly no owls had ever nested in it. “I said that I’d throw in properly installing the box with my bid, and she accepted.” Three days later, Stephan said she called him, saying a pair of barn owls had begun nesting in the box. Since that first box, Stephan said he has installed about 32,000 owl boxes. “That’s a lot of boxes,” he said. The boxes weren’t originally marketed as rodent control, but after several years of reports from clients on their effectiveness, Stephan began marketing the boxes as such. In addition to years of experience with birds of prey and installing owl boxes, Stephan also uses a proprietary formula in his boxes to keep bees away, as bees can take over a box for a hive. “It’s guaranteed to keep bees away for the life of the box,” he said.

Coastal community ‘ La Vida Del Mar’ offers residents many choices

ife doesn’t stop when it’s time to transition to a senior living community. In fact, those at Senior Resource Group believe life should only improve with age. That’s why residents of La Vida Del Mar in Solana Beach, a property owned by SRG, spend their days playing pool, reading a book, watching a movie, swimming, shopping — or doing it all. “Just because you might need to make a move from your existing home into a senior living community doesn’t mean that life ends for you,” said Donna Thomas, director of corporate communications for SRG. “The key to living is choices. What SRG communities are all about is providing folks with choices for living.” Nestled between the villages of Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe, La Vida Del Mar offers 105 one- and two-bedroom residences. Units come with fully equipped kitchenettes, air conditioning and heating, spacious en suite baths with safety features, walk-in closets, patios or balconies with storage space, and covered and onsite parking. Community features include a restaurant,

fitness center, heated swimming pool and spa, media room, library, sundry shop, full-service beauty salon and barbershop, and landscaped courtyards, walking paths and outdoor covered seating. “The whole idea of senior living is that while your residence might be a little smaller than the home that you transitioned from, the rest of the community becomes an extension of your home,” Thomas said. Health and fitness classes, including aquatic exercises, are available, as well as social, cultural and recreational programs and activities. All utilities are included in the community’s monthly fee, including air conditioning, heating, water, trash removal, basic telephone, and cable TV. Others services included are meals, weekly housekeeping and flat linen laundry service, 24-hour emergency call system, 24-hour onsite staffing, scheduled group transportation, and maintenance. La Vida Del Mar is SRG’s flagship community. The company started when it took over the ownership of the community in February 1988. La Vida Del Mar opened in

July 1987. “It was our first community and we still have it,” Thomas said. “It’s beautiful.” SRG currently serves more than 4,000 retirees in 18 retirement communities across the United States. With two locations in San Diego County, SRG has housing communities in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia and Oregon. In addition to La Vida Del Mar in Solana Beach, SRG has La Vida Real, located within the East County community of Rancho San Diego. La Vida Real opened in July 2003. With rich Spanish-village style architecture and interior design, the community offers 353 alcove, oneand two-bedroom residences. “It’s an award-winning community,” Thomas said. “It truly sets the tone for senior living in San Diego East and South County.” Both La Vida Del Mar and La Vida Real offer

independent living and assisted living. SRG became the first major senior living provider in the United States to earn company-wide accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities in 2004. CARF is recognized as the leading independent accreditation body for providers of health and human services. La Vida Del Mar also became one of the first senior living communities in the U.S. to achieve accreditation for both independent living and assisted living. In addition, La Vida Real offers memory care for people living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. --La Vida Del Mar is at 850 Del Mar Downs Road in Solana Beach. (858) 314-8757. srgseniorliving.com.

COURTESY/NYCGOVPARKS.ORG

The High Line is an elevated freight rail line transformed into a public park on Manhattan’s West Side. It is owned by the City of New York, and maintained and operated by Friends of the High Line.

Founded in 1999 by community residents, Friends of the High Line fought for the High Line’s preservation and transformation at a time when the historic structure was under the threat of demolition. It is now the non-profit conservancy working with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation to make sure the High Line is maintained as an extraordinary public space for all visitors to enjoy. In addition to overseeing maintenance, operations, and public programming for the park, Friends of the High Line works to raise the essential private funds to support more than 98 percent of the park’s annual operating budget, and to advocate for the transformation of the High Line at the rail yards, the third and final section of the historic structure, which runs between West 30th and West 34th Streets.

Future of La Jolla Village depends on a MAD BY PHYLLIS PFEIFFER President, La Jolla Light Chair, La Jolla Community Foundation

raffiti, grime and crime. My husband and I fled New York City in the 1970s to get away from it and found paradise, settling in La Jolla. During a visit to NYC last week, we were struck by seeing the fact that the graffiti and grime were gone, as was the appearance of criminal activity on every corner. We were wowed by New York circa 2016. The High Line, a public park built on the historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side is terrific. The landscaping is stunning as is the street furniture design — benches and lounge chairs provided to relax and enjoy the scenery. It was spotless and a great place for people to congregate. The Friends of the High Line raise 98 percent of the park’s annual budget through private donations and maintains, operates and develops programs for the High Line in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation.

St Patrick’s Cathedral has been restored and truly glowed. There are artfully designed and landscaped pocket parks scattered about the city with sculpture, fountains and flowers. Our Village of La Jolla overlooks some of the most beautiful coastline in the world. But in comparison to NYC, the Village looks neglected, and tired around the edges and the core. Our sidewalks are dirty and falling apart. Our landscaping and street furniture are a hodge-podge of design. We have many vacant storefronts. A group of local activists and philanthropists (myself included) have banded together to give the Village what Bird Rock enjoys — a Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to take charge of cleaning and maintaining the Village, supplementing services the city provides. Back in 1973 when I came to La Jolla, Bird Rock was nicknamed “Baja La Jolla,” and La Jolla Boulevard was singularly the most unattractive street in town. Bird Rock is now the best maintained neighborhood; the pride and envy of all La Jolla neighborhoods.

But the fees that will be collected from property owners for the MAD are only a part of the overall plan. Those fees will go to sidewalk cleaning and power washing, augmented trash collection and landscape maintenance. A goal of Enhance La Jolla, the group established to oversee the MAD, is to work with the La Jolla Community Foundation to raise private funds for capital projects, like the Friends of the High Line did in NYC. The MAD will provide the necessary vehicle to which the City of San Diego grants permission to work on city-owed property. We need private funding and the vehicle of the MAD to build the Belvedere Project, a piazza at the intersection of Girard Avenue and Prospect Street, for La Jollans to enjoy.

GUEST COMMENTARY (CONTINUED) the Seville. A MAD is one of the only community organizations permitted to do any work on or with City of San Diego-owned property. The La Jolla Community Foundation was not even allowed to empty city-owned trash cans on the weekends due to liability issues. But a MAD can. Without a MAD, generous La Jollans can only dream about funding projects that will make La Jolla a more inviting and attractive place to live, work and play. We need to pull together as a community to enhance our community. Learn more about Enhance La Jolla from its website enhancelajolla.com and attend one of two community outreach meetings 10 a.m. or 6 p.m., Wednesday, June 22 at the La Jolla Rec Center. Write a letter to La Jolla Light or to City Council President Sherri Lightner expressing your support. Talk with Enhance La Jolla steering committee and board members, whose names appear on the website. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Get involved! Get MAD.

BILL ALLEN

La Jolla resident Bill Allen said he has spotted campaign signs for city council candidate Ray Ellis wrecked along Torrey Pines Road and also on private property.

Shame on those who destroy campaign signs There have been dozens of city council candidate Ray Ellis signs wrecked on Torrey Pines Road and many on private property. I’m appalled at the actions of some very nasty people out there who are destroying signs, even going onto private property and twisting the metal stands into a ball. I think it is important to note this bad behavior in the La Jolla Light. It is not just a few of the signs but a large number of them. Where do the first amendment rights stand in the minds of those doing this? I wonder if a reward for the arrest and prosecution of these bad apples would be a way to stop this? Bill Allen Editor’s Note: In the Town Council meeting story that begins on page A1, damaged campaign signs were also reported by city council candidate Barbara Bry and 78th District State Assembly candidate Kevin Melton. In California, the taking or damaging of political signs is a violation of the law and anyone apprehended after the unlawful taking or damaging of political signage is subject to arrest and prosecution.

The letter in the May 12 La Jolla Light issue about seal and sea-lion activists is right-on — especially the suggestion that their primary motivation is not the protection of our local marine mammals, but a desire “to feel warm and fuzzy about themselves.” Directly above the letter was a photograph of the La Jolla Cove, once famous for the beauty of its location, clean beach and swimming opportunities. It is now, thanks to these animal-rights advocates, probably the most polluted and malodorous swimming beaches in America. Its closest competition for that title may well come from the Children’s Pool, just down the road. Interestingly, the photographer has only to turn his head to see, across the street, yet another product of misguided do-gooder activism: A property containing two slum-quality hovels known as the Red Rest and Red Roost. For over 20 years these cottages have been uninhabited and disintegrating into unsightly rubble. At what once was one of the nation’s most beautiful coastal locations, we now have visual contamination on one side and bacterial contamination on the other. This is a twofer that La Jolla could do without. The visual mess is the consequence of an unprincipled desire to interfere with another person’s private property, without any personal financial risk to those interfering. To fully develop this property as normally allowed in San Diego, city permits must be obtained; but the issuance of permits has been blocked because of activist insistence that the original structures be preserved — at the owner’s expense. What nonsense! This property is potentially some of the most valuable real estate in America if it could be developed economically. Even if one doesn’t care about the ongoing financial loss to the owner, then at least consider the property tax that has been lost because of such obstruction. A rational and ethical solution is for the preservation advocates to move the cottages off the property for relocation and restoration, at their expense. Imagine the outcry if there was an attempt to create a new dump or pollution source along La Jolla’s coastline. There would be no warm and fuzzy thinking, just outrage. Shame on the activists and their city council-enablers for giving La Jolla the appearance and smell of a dysfunctional community. Carl Lind

We need to review Marine Mammal Protection Act The seal/sea lion debacle at The Cove and at The Children’s Pool is a disgrace, more because it’s like a broken record with no solution in sight. Why hasn’t our Congressman Scott Peters taken the lead in addressing this smelly fiasco since it’s federal legislation — the Marine Mammal Protection Act — that is the root cause of the problem? His silence speaks volumes. The MMPA has turned into a typical federal runaway train that needs to be slowed down with amendments to this 45-plus year-old law to allow communities like ours to fix this disaster for the betterment of our coastline and community. We can’t be the only community in the nation suffering from the infestation of hordes of “water rats.” Why can’t we manage these “water rats” the way the federal government is now managing the grizzly bear population in Yellowstone? Lou Cumming

Enough of spending tax dollars on Children’s Pool issue How much is too much wasteful spending of taxpayer money trying to close the Children’s Pool? For some, there is no limit as long as you are using someone else’s money. Unlimited spending is an irresponsible use of city resources on a misguided public beach closure that has already cost the City of San Diego millions of dollars and with no end in sight. Is yet another appeal, to a losing lawsuit over beach access, the right thing for responsible city leaders to do? Just a few years ago, City Council President Sherri Lightner asked for an accounting of all the costs to the city pursuing beach closure. She never received an answer. Certainly, this figure should be known as part of any effort to curb wasteful city spending and bring the city’s budget under control. Friends of the Children’s Pool request the media begin making a serious inquiry of city leaders about how much they have spent and are willing to spend in the future to secure an unlawful beach closure at Children’s Pool. Friends of the Children’s Pool and Councilmember Lightner have asked and been ignored. No surprise. It’s nothing to be proud of. Ken Hunrichs Friends of Children’s Pool

How to WRECK Your Retirement by overlooking possibility of need for Long Term Health Care LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faces by retirees. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if she’s in a semiprivate room that costs in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91%.

I would like to voice my strong support for the beautiful and unique art of Nasser Pirasteh. It certainly is a work of art and not a building that needs a permit. Nasser is an internationally known and respected artist. He is one of the most socially responsible artists that I have ever known. The city should be proud to have an artist like him residing in their city. People have already spoken in favor of this inspiring art by writing on the surrounding wall and by casting their votes. I invite you to see his two other awesome art pieces an addition to our art collection “Replacing Violence with Art” at iherc.org I hope you help and support Naser and his amazing art, anyway you can and that this work will stay intact forever.

Fan of public mural in La Jolla Shores I am disappointed to read that some people don’t like the beautiful new mural, “Demos Gracias” by artist Hurtado Segovia, on the Galaxy Taco building in La Jolla Shores. I think it is colorful and delightful. Every time I see it, it gives me pleasure. It makes me happy. I hope it stays there for a long time. I’ve seen a lot of art in my 43 years of buying and selling art. I think the murals of La Jolla are wonderful and a great addition to the neighborhoods. Leanne Hull MacDougall

Garden Club loves front-page story We appreciate your wonderful article and photo coverage of the La Jolla Garden Club’s recent Gardeners’ Market in the May 12 issue.

Headline gets it so wrong I was doing some research about artist Do Ho Suh for my final paper for my contemporary artists class at Cal State San Marcos, where I am majoring in visual arts, and came across an article featured on the La Jolla Light website on his installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. The title of that article is “Art Exhibit: House of the Rising Suh lights up MCASD in downtown San Diego.” Not only is this title not capitalized correctly, this title references the Japanese phrase “land of the rising sun,” which is a term to describe the island and country that is Japan. Do Ho Suh is a Korean artist, from South Korea. If you know anything about his artwork, his nationality, as a KOREAN, is central to much of his work. I find it incredibly disrespectful that the author found it appropriate to lump him in with Japanese culture by using this title “Land of the Rising Suh.” It is racist and misleading. Korean and Japanese cultures are different and should not be casually mixed in with each other just because they may appear to be similar on the surface. Melissa Scrivnor

Fire chief issues prom safety reminder Prom and graduation season is here and you want to make sure your graduate is part of his or her class! Unfortunately, these happy occasions sometimes involve underage drinking that can result in tragedy. It is critical that parents keep the lines of communication open when it comes to talking to their kids about the dangers of underage drinking and drunk driving. Know who is driving all evening: Are your kids or a friend driving? is there a designated driver, or will they be renting a limo? Make sure your teen has a way of contacting you and you can contact your teen; warn them of the dangers of talking or texting while driving. Get the evening’s itinerary as well as a list of names and phone numbers of each person with your teen. Make sure your teen knows how to handle difficult situations; avoiding accepting a ride from a drunk driver, rejecting offers of alcohol or legal and illegal drugs, or not succumbing to pressure to engage in sexual activity. Insist that no changes be made to the evening itinerary unless you grant permission. Know who is supervising all events in which your teen is participating. Make sure your teen has money to cover alternative transportation costs (cab), if necessary. And parents, the same lesson here goes for you. Set an example of responsibility and accountability to your children! For additional prom and graduation safety, talk to school administrators. Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna

FROM BASEBALL, A5 As the day concluded, the entire Mustang outfield fence was lined with parents and players from Pinto to Pony who hung around to watch this fantastic Championship game. The second game was another nail-bitter going into an extra inning with Red Door Interactive going ahead by two runs in the top of the 7th. Willis Allen had several infield hits to load the bases after scoring the tying runs. Gabriel Rebeiz knocked in the bases loaded winning run to secure the Championship for the Willis Allen team. Final 12-11. A very exciting Mustang Championship matchup and indeed, one for the history books! And while we are on the subject of history books in LJYB, the Bronco division celebrated an incredible year of power baseball this season. Anyone who has visited our website (ljyb.org) and perused “Homer’s Alley” will tell you that we’ve seen balls fly out of the park at a record pace. I believe the final tally saw over 60 balls clear the fences this season, led by Jack Boynton and followed closely by Nathan Latimer. What a year for the long ball! The Bronco Championship was played between Ben Grieve’s Chris Smith Personal Training team and Michael Solis’ The Patio squad. Grieve’s team had a fantastic regular season and came into the playoffs as the No. 1 seed. Their road to the championship game was highlighted by several close victories, including a game winning walk-off

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Harlene Mary Hinds Walton August 21, 1934 - May 2, 2016

LA JoLLA — Harlene Mary Hinds Walton, 81, passed away on May 2, 2016, in Kennewick, Wash. Harlene was born in La Jolla, Calif., on August 21, 1934, and lived there for her first 18 years—a proud graduate of La Jolla High School and known to her friends in the Class of 1952 as “Snooky”. She remained in contact with her high school classmates for the last 64 years as an attentive member of the LJHS Alumni Association and never missed a reunion. Harlene cherished her years growing up in La Jolla. She told stories of a lifetime of sweet summers at La Jolla Cove and warm, sunny winters in what she believed to be the most beautiful city in the world. She also spent many of her teenage years gracefully gliding on the Glacier Gardens ice-skating rink that once stood on Eighth

and Harbor Drive in San Diego. She was married in 1952 to Larry Walton and began her fruitful career as a devoted homemaker throughout many Southern California residences, most notably Riverside, La Mesa, and Spring Valley. Harlene’s last California home was in Escondido, before she moved in 2013, to live near her daughters in southeastern Washington.

In addition to a lifelong vocation of motherhood, Harlene enjoyed a 25-year career later in life as a merchandiser for American Greetings Corporation. She was also an avid gardener, a talented seamstress, world traveler, and affectionate caretaker for the many little dogs that shared her home over the years. Harlene is preceded in death by her parents, Donald Hinds and Isabel McLean Norris (formerly Hinds). She is survived by four siblings: Anne Gutridge of Yuma, AZ; Don Hinds of San Diego, CA; Tom Hinds of Starwood, WA and Bonnie Quilon of El Cajon, CA. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren: Ryan (Cat) DeWolf of Fallbrook, CA; Dustin (Erica) Clontz of Pasco, WA; Sarah DeWolf of Richland, WA; Brad Rindone and Patrick Rindone of Escondido,

CA; Matthew Johnson of San Marcos, CA; and Annie Green of Prosser, WA, as well as five greatgrandchildren: olina, Aurelia and Maverick DeWolf of Fallbrook, CA and olivia and Harper Clontz of Pasco, WA. She will be greatly missed by her five children and their spouses who will forever honor her, respect her and love her for all that she sacrificed as their mom: Laurel (Bill) DeWolf of Grants Pass, oR; Lynn (Farrell) Clontz of West Richland, WA; Larry Walton of West Richland, WA; Lorraine (Ed) Constantine of Escondido, CA; and Leanne (Don) Green of Prosser, WA. A private memorial service will be held at a later date near her hometown in San Diego County, CA. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

started. First up is the traditional Memorial Day Tournament hosted by Tecolote Youth Baseball. LJYB entered 12 teams in this festive event: Bronco (3), Mustang (4), Pinto (3) and Shetland (2). The tournament is excellent preparation for the official PONY Section Tournament that starts in June. The PONY tournaments play through Section, Region, Super-Region, Zone and ends with a World Series in each division. For a small league, LJYB historically fares well in these tournaments as evidenced by the many PONY tournament banners displayed around the La Jolla fields.

CORRECTION In the May 5 story on the Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations for dogs in public places, the role and definition of a service dog versus a support dog may have been unclear in terms of the use of those animals by people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). After receiving additional information, the La Jolla Light has learned that the DOJ defines service animals in its Disability Rights Section under ADA Requirements as follows: “Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. This definition does not affect or limit the broader definition of “assistance animal” under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of “service animal” under the Air Carrier Access Act. Some State and local laws also define service animal more broadly than the ADA does. Information about such laws can be obtained from the State Attorney General’s office.” The La Jolla Light apologizes for any confusion the original report may have caused. Service animals are indeed used by people dealing with PTSD. To read more visit, ada.gov

Sue Kalish finds community service her way to give back

ue Kalish has been a community volunteer for more than 35 years, with most of her efforts focused on children and education. She served as the president of the Foundation of La Jolla High School, and PTA president at Muirlands and La Jolla High. She also served as fundraising co-chair for Project S.P.L.A.S.H., La Jolla High’s Capital Campaign to build an Aquatic Center and Technology Center. She was a founding member of Kids Aid Auxiliary for the San Diego Center for Children, as well as president of Las Patronas. Currently, Kalish is president of UCSD Town and Gown, whose mission is to Sue Kalish integrate residents into the life of UC San Diego and support the university through student scholarships.

A History of Hospice PHOTOS BY ASHLEY MACKIN

Dr. Doris Howell of La Jolla is considered ‘the mother of hospice’ in San Diego. She is also the founder of the Doris Howell Foundation for Women’s Health Research. With the motto, ‘Keeping the women we love healthy,’ the Foundation hosts lunches, lectures and workshops throughout the year to promote women’s health issues. howellfoundation.org

Dr. Doris Howell addresses La Jolla Woman’s Club BY ASHLEY MACKIN earing a pale seafoam green suit, and standing just under 5 feet tall, 93-year-old Dr. Doris Howell, the founder of San Diego Hospice, walked slowly to the podium at La Jolla Woman’s Club on May 11 to give a speech as guest of the club’s Women in Leadership series. To a quiet crowd of more than 50 attendees, Howell told how a woman, dressed head to toe in navy blue, was instrumental in pushing her to bring hospice care to San Diego. But she opened her speech with, surprisingly, an apology.

Howell said she was sorry that her presentation would be given in pieces by three people, because one week ago, she had a heart attack and knew she wouldn’t have the energy to give the entire speech herself. “Today is a special day for me, even if I am in a condition I wasn’t expecting to be in,” she said. “Some of you know I have lost some of my mobility in the last 10 years … but on May 2, my cousin and I had lunch and she noticed I was acting peculiar, well, more peculiar than usual. She watched me and listened to me try to talk, and called 911.”

Howell said she did not have the typical symptoms of a heart attack, just difficulty moving, which she attributed to her ongoing lessening in mobility, but her cousin saw otherwise, and sent her off in an ambulance. She joked that though she could normally talk at the drop of a hat, “I must not have brought the right hat today.” Assisting in the lecture, Howell Foundation chair Carole Banka said with degrees from universities in the United States and Canada in pediatrics and hematology (the study of blood and blood SEE DORIS HOWELL, B10

Saving your own life

La Jolla Cultural Partners

t’s a cruel twist of fate to be lucky enough to live in the Sunbelt but not be able to go out in it. After Olof’s four surgeries for in situ melanoma (the less serious form that hasn’t penetrated below the top layers of skin) and my surgery for malignant melanoma (the type that has) we asked our dermatologist where we’d ever be able to go on vacation again. She replied, “Oregon in the winter?” Both Olof and I are of Northern European extraction, the preferred hosts for skin cancer. When I was growing up, not only were there no effective sunscreen lotions, but girls slathered themselves with a concoction of baby oil and iodine (early self-tanning product) then reflected sun right onto their faces with homemade aluminum foil sun reflectors. (Do not try this at home!) It is no wonder that in addition to malignant melanoma, I’ve had five Mohs* surgeries for squamous cell carcinoma on my face and hands. Regardless, I still walk on the beach every day, even in summer. But no matter how hot it is, the only part of me that is exposed to the sun might be my fingernails. And usually not those. Bikini-clad teens roll their eyes at me like “What’s the point?” From under the six-inch brim of my sun hat, I try

to beam back, “You have no idea what that tan is going to cost you.” I’ve often thought I should get a beige beach-walking burqa made that says “Cautionary Tale” on the back. The current theory is that melanoma comes from bad sunburns of one’s youth. I certainly had plenty of those. The first warm weekend of spring, usually Memorial Day, I’d get absolutely fried. But if that theory were true, my skin cancers should have been on my back where I got the worst of it, happily snoozing on my stomach in the warm sun after a long East Coast winter. But all my skin cancers have been on my face and forearms. Now, my theory is that what got me is all those weekend youth soccer and baseball tournaments in places that seem to have some unwritten law that there can be no shade within 100 yards of a youth athletic field. Despite a hat and heavy doses of sunscreen, and sometimes even a shade umbrella, I’d still get cooked on my face and forearms, the only places not covered. It goes without saying that we have made our dermatologist a wealthy woman. In fact, every time Olof has an appointment with her, he’ll announce, “Well, time to make Dr. X’s Mercedes payment!” But given

melanoma’s 100 percent fatality rate if not treated, better that she gets a nice car then we get dead. Having personally known four people who have died of malignant melanoma, I’ve always been diligent about scheduling skin cancer screenings. So I was genuinely surprised to suddenly see what looked like a slightly raised freckle on my forearm. It didn’t look anything like the grody melanoma pictures you see in doctors’ offices. But it met four of the five markers for melanoma: it was asymmetric, had an irregular border, was a little darker than freckles usually are, and most importantly, it hadn’t been there before. I called my then-dermatologist immediately. Sorry, they said, first available appointment is five weeks. I couldn’t get in with any other dermatologist any earlier as a new patient. “Everybody thinks they have melanoma,” soothed the receptionist at one. When I finally did get in five weeks later, my dermatologist wasn’t initially impressed but biopsied it anyway. Eight days later, she called me on a Wednesday night, biopsy results in hand, and said, “You’re having surgery tomorrow.” The chunk they took out of me felt like a full arm-ectomy. “I hope you realize you just saved your own life,” the surgeon assured me. I tell the grandtots that the big Z scar on my forearm was from an altercation with Zorro. That I lost. Of course, after this surgery, co-workers flocked to my office to consult on suspicious bumps or freckles. “Does this look like melanoma to you?” they’d want to know. I’d review the five classic signs of melanoma with them and then implore them to schedule an appointment with a

dermatologist. It’s been 13 years since that surgery so I’m cautiously optimistic that whatever ultimately does me in is not going to be melanoma. But since May 22 is The National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention’s Don’t Fry Day, it seemed like a good time to mention it. I’m always happy to see that my five young grandchildren are slathered with sunscreen and wearing floppy hats when they’re in the sun. As for that disfiguring scar? Don’t care. I’m here playing with the grandkids. *Note: During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light.

Armed Forces Day is celebrated in the United States on the third Saturday in May. True! First observed on May 20, 1950, the day was created to honor Americans serving in the five military branches — the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard — following the consolidation of the military services within the U.S. Department of Defense. It was intended to replace the separate Army-, Navy-, Air Force-, Marine Corps- and Coast Guard Days, but the separate days are still observed, especially within the respective services. The nation’s longest continuously running Armed Forces Day Parade is held in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Because of their training schedules, National Guard and Reserve units may celebrate Armed Forces Day/Week over any period in the month of May. Armed Forces Day for 2016 is Saturday, May 21. — wikipedia

I’m personally inspired to make a difference with the San Diego Center for Children, a nonprofit that helps children and families in need. I have been involved with the Center’s efforts for over 20 years when I joined the Kids Aid Auxiliary that served the Center. Since that time, I continue finding different ways to be involved and I’m excited to be a part of their event committee for this year’s 129th Anniversary Celebration. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? I think I need to make my table a little bigger. Besides my husband, I would include Theodore Roosevelt, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Oscar Hammerstein, Clara Breed, Elon Musk, Steve Martin, Tina Fey and my two grandmothers, who were so influential in my life. I would love to know what they think about our world today. What are you reading? I’m in two book groups, so my current books are “The Nightingale,” by Kristen Hannah and “Americanah,” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. What is it that you most dislike? Judgmental people. What clothing item in your closet will you never part with? I’m not really attached to any article of clothing, but I would feel very sad if I woke up and found a closet that did not include my exercise shoes, clothes and a baseball cap. What do you do for fun? Walk, play bridge (it’s fun when it’s not frustrating) and be with friends. What is your motto or philosophy of life? Be kind, appreciative and enjoy each day to the fullest. What would be your dream vacation? My dream vacation would be any vacation with my two daughters and their families, which includes three grandsons. We all just celebrated my birthday in Kauai. Any day you spend with three little boys is magical.

The supermarket is a land mine: Part 2

et’s continue the dialogue from last week’s column alerting food shoppers of the hazards at the supermarket, and how to avert them — especially contradictory or misleading claims that lurk among the ingredients listed on packages and labels. Here are your defensive maneuvers. ■ Strategies for Going Solo: Many products from olive oil to ground meats contain blends from different sources. The former frequently combines oils from Italy, Spain, Greece, Tunisia and Cyprus. While these might all be organic, the integrity of the product is compromised by the variety of sources with differing standards of growth and production. Ground beef is more problematic, since a contaminated batch from a single source renders thousands of widely distributed “hamburger” meat a national food poisoning menace and huge expense (and headache) for food stores and the Federal Drug Administration’s (FDA) recall process. It is therefore more prudent to read labels carefully as you look for single-source olive oil; and if no single source ground meat can be found, either ask your butcher to grind your beef or fowl picks to order, or buy your own meat grinder for homemade

hamburgers or meatballs. ■ Jumping on the Gluten-free Bandwagon: Gluten is the protein found in certain grains and their hybrids, including wheat, rye and barley. Like its namesake, gluten is the “glue-like” substance that gives bread and pasta their wonderful chewy texture, and provides a load of nutritional value. But for those suffering from Celiac Disease or a sensitivity to the protein, gluten is the enemy. There are a slew of gluten-free products on the supermarket shelves from crackers and pastas to baked goods and even soy sauce. These are all made with a variety of gluten substitutes, such as, quinoa, whole grain cornmeal, nut flours, brown rice, millet, teff, buckwheat (grouts) and amaranth. Sly food producers and advertisers in a ploy to boost sales are misusing the gluten-free label on food and beverages that never had a trace of gluten. So just ignore the white noise on labels of raisins, apricots, dried cranberries, canned and sun-dried tomatoes, seafood and alas, wines, Champagnes, tequila, vodka, iced teas and pure juices that boast of “gluten-free” status. ■ A Foot Note: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has defined “Free Range” or “Free Roaming” in

vague terms, whereby, “Producers must demonstrate to the Agency that the poultry has been allowed access to the outside.” This gives Farmer Fred a wide scope of interpretation so that his chicks need only see the light of day for a brief period where they can stretch their legs in the pasture, then return for the bulk of the day to the crowded coop or barn. So be leery with egg cartons stamped, “free range.” Best choice is organic eggs, without hormones or antibiotics in the chickens’ feed. ■ It’s Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature: “All natural” is a murky claim that misleads the trusting consumer. The tag line is not synonymous with organic (grown and produced without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers), GMO-free (absence of genetically modified organisms) or even hormone or antibiotic free. While there are no clear-cut parameters set by the FDA for manufacturers touting their products as “all natural” — simply free of artificial colors and flavorings could probably pass the test. So if the product’s only claim to fame is “all natural,” toss it out of the cart. ■ Bittersweet Enemies: While sugar is one of the most energy-depleting toxins, other sweeteners are equally as harmful. High fructose corn syrup is an empty calorie, GMO monster that creeps into everything from breads and cereals to condiments and snacks. It has been linked to obesity and increasing the risk of Type 2 Diabetes, along with hiking bad cholesterol levels. The artificial sweetener Aspartame is a notorious neurotoxin and carcinogen laced in diet sodas and sugar-free foods including yoghurts, sauces, salad dressings and flavored waters — a bitter pill to swallow.

Savory Olive Oil Dip My honest, down-home single-sourced olive oil dip is a safe bet to enliven crusty breads, pastas and sandwiches. ■ Ingredients: • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 2 tablespoons champagne or white balsamic vinegar • 1 garlic clove, crushed • 1 teaspoon Italian parsley or basil, chopped • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes ■ Method: In a glass mixing bowl combine ingredients. Gently whisk. Chill. — For additional recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com or visit freerangeclub.com

FROM DORIS HOWELL, B1 diseases), Dr. Howell chaired the UCSD Department of Community and Family Medicine for five years, before returning to the Pediatrics Department. In the course of her work, she found that though the standards in the departments for which she worked were high, there was something missing – hospice care for families and children. So 40 years ago, she began her exploration into the program. Howell said, “I gathered other pediatric doctors in town and asked if they thought their patients would benefit from hospice care, but many didn’t know what that was. I explained to the extent of my knowledge what it was, and they asked how they would implement it? I told them I was a pediatrician just like they were, and we don’t do that. We treat the disease not the child fighting it. But we need to. They were very unhappy with me, so I closed the meeting with no success.” Seeking more information about hospice, which had a presence in other parts of the world, but not yet in San Diego, Howell reached out to those in the medical community. But her greatest wealth of information came from an unexpected source – a neighbor. “My neighbor called me one day asking for help, and told me he had a lady physician friend from England coming to visit and he wanted to know what to do with a lady physician? So I said, ‘What would you do with any lady? Talk to her!’ He said he didn’t know what to talk about and asked me if I would take her to lunch,” she said. The “lady physician” was Cicely Saunders, creator of

one of the first hospice centers in England. “When she arrived, she was dressed in navy blue, from the top of her hat to her stockings. She was over 6 feet tall, and I felt diminished,” Howell reminisced. “She knew a lot about hospice, but I did not feel profoundly educated. As the afternoon wore on, I showed my ignorance and she waxed prolific about it and had me wrapped around her fingers.” By the end of the lunch, Howell said, Saunders (who was later made a Dame by the Queen of England) asked her to assist in

a talk she was giving, by showing slides. “I took the slides from her. She said they were paired slides, with a slide 1 and slide 2 for each patient (18 in total) that was admitted to St. Christopher’s Hospice in England. I picked up the first slide, and it was of a patient who was morbid looking, stretched out and wrapped in a white sheet. She told me the first slide showed the patient upon admission to the hospital. I thought it couldn’t be admission, he looks like he’s going out the door! “The second slide showed the same patient, holding a cocktail glass, sitting on

his bed in a colorful robe, in a room with a curtain and bedspread, and I thought this had to be the slide of the patient upon admittance. So we argued for a while about the order of the slides. It turned out the picture of the patient looking happy was on the day of his death,” she said. “I was speechless.” Motivated, she started out small with a group of nurses in the 1970s to open a hospice center for all ages. That same decade, San Diego Hospice Hospital was established in Hillcrest. “It had to be started by nurses, they are the ones closest to patients and who know the patient’s needs, what they’re getting and not getting. So it was a natural marriage to reach out to them for a hospice program.” Growing steadily, San Diego hospice centers moved from empty storefronts and houses to medical centers. In 1982, a bill was passed to include hospice care for six months under Medicare. But in 2012, a government audit found that hospice was caring for patients beyond the limit of six months, and the program went bankrupt, said Cheryl Wilson of St. Paul’s Senior Services (who had taken over for Howell at the microphone). “San Diego Hospice closed because there is a narrow window of care … and after six months, the patient must be dis-enrolled, and the hospice team couldn’t deal with that. So they would keep the patients on. There was an audit of the hospice program and insurers found that’s what was happening, so they cut funding. I didn’t like it, but if I’m taking money from the piper, I have to dance to his tune,” Wilson said. The silver lining though, was that Scripps

Health purchased the Hospice Hospital in 2013, which continues to be used for in-patient hospice care. Further, 24 hospice centers, as well as in-home options, have opened up across the county for those with terminal illnesses. To provide assistance past six months, Howell established San Diego Hospice and Palliative Care. “Palliative care,” Wilson explained, “means we are going to meet your needs where you are at this point, and we are going to be with you at your last point. That’s something hospice can’t do, because care might be needed for two years, based on the illness. Doris knew this was the right thing to do because she had seen all the good hospice does for those in their last six months of life.” Reflecting on events, Howell said, “I thought hospice had a future here. Certainly a future that would outlive me, but it’s a learning experience, and I hope that San Diego Hospice can return one day.” Banka reported that since the establishment of Palliative Care in San Diego, UCSD hospital established the Doris Howell Palliative Care Service, and last November, Rady Children’s Hospital followed suit. With many relating to experiences with having loved ones in hospice care, audience-members shared stories following the event, and called Dr. Howell, “inspirational” and “strong.” Mithu Sherin, president of the La Jolla Woman’s Club, said the club’s next speaker series would focus on women in science, with presenters and program dates to be determined.

Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler’ comes to North Coast Rep Theatre

AARON RUMLEY

Mhari Sandoval, Ray Chambers and Bruce Turk star in a new translation of Henrik Ibsen’s ‘Hedda Gabler,’ June 1-26 at North Coast Repertory Theatre.

BY DIANA SAENGER Playwright Henrik Ibsen was born in Norway in 1828. He spent his growing years as a writer of poetry, drama, and eventually, as a celebrated playwright, penning a new play almost every year. Ibsen is the second most produced playwright in the world, after Shakespeare. In 1890 he wrote the classic “Hedda Gabler,” which opens June 1 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT), under the direction of NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein. Making her third return to NCRT (“Chapter 2,” “Time Stands Still”) is Mhari Sandoval who portrays the discontented Hedda, a character to whom she said she has a connection. “I’ve been a whatever-job-comes-along type of actor,” she said. “I believe all work is worth doing, and work begets work, so who am I to say no? There’s an amazing universality to the character of Hedda. Every woman I’ve spoken to knows the show. Nine actresses have said to me, ‘I’ve often felt like Hedda.’ I felt like maybe I could bring something to this character that would be specific, so it’s my Hedda versus anyone else’s Hedda. I had to do it.” Sandoval said she realizes few women have the life they thought they were going to have at age 20 or 25, especially in this era. But today’s woman has the freedom to reinvent herself all the time. Hedda did not have that freedom

during her lifetime. “I’m excited to play this role because I understand her dilemma. She thought her life was going to be one thing and it turned out as something else altogether because of her circumstances and era. She has little ability to change it. It’s about understanding her good intentions and not always being able to control the impulses, temper and feelings of disappointment. Hedda did not know how to fix her life.” But before rehearsals could begin, NCRT staff decided there had to be some changes to the script. “Rather than using the existent translation, we worked with the brilliant dramaturg Anne-Charlotte

Harvey,” Sandoval said. “She did a direct translation of the text from the Norwegian script including word order, grammar, sentence structure, American idiom to help to clarify, and more ... until it was completely workable as a script. What was intended in this range in 1890 is now in America; so it’s still that play, but now it doesn’t sound strange to an American audience.” In research about Ibsen and this play it was revealed that Hedda’s married name is Hedda Tesman; Gabler is her maiden name. On the subject of the title, Ibsen wrote: “My intention in giving it this name was to indicate that Hedda, as a personality, is to be regarded rather as her father’s daughter than her husband’s wife.” Sandoval supports the premise. “That is clear on every page of the script,” she said. “She’s in a world where she’s supposed to go with her husband as a wife. Her husband’s very single-minded and rooted in his own perspective. His life is supposed to become her life, but Hedda just isn’t suited for that. I think the audience will really enjoy this drama. It’s extraordinary how relevant it continues to be and how beautiful and funny it is at times.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Hedda Gabler” runs June 1-26 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $39 at (858) 481-1055. northcoastrep.org

Doctor’s book details quest to solve mystery of hereditary colon cancer BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The death of La Jolla resident C. Richard Boland’s father in 1970, during his first year of Medical School at Yale, sparked the lifelong quest of the soon-to-be gastrointerologist: Solving the mysterious causes of the widely-extended cancer disease in his own family. In the years to come he learned that 10 of 13 of his father’s siblings had cancer. “There were colon cancers, uterine cancers, and ovarian cancers ... and they were getting them young ... and if the person survived the cancer, he or she would get another one later. That just didn’t fit what colon cancer was, generally speaking,” Dr. Boland said. His thesis tackled his family’s disease. He had his professor take a biopsy from his rectum for the sake of science, and gathered the medical history of the Bolands. “I went to the hospitals and they let me walk in, rummage through

the files, take notes, photocopies, that kind of thing. So I pieced it all together, and I said, there’s something really strange going on here,” he said. But in the 1970s and ‘80s it was too soon in the history of modern medicine to finish the puzzle. In the 1990s, the advances in genetics, and ultimately the discovery of the human genome, were the missing pieces in Boland’s research. He incorporated the large amount of data

accumulated in 20 years of research with the tools that allowed him to look at the big picture and earmark the mutation of the gene that was causing the suffering of his family. “And there it was, the basis of hereditary colon cancer right in front of me,” Boland said. In 2015, Boland self-published “Cancer Family. The Search for the Cause of Hereditary Colorectal Cancer.” The book explains his research ingrained with his very captivating family story. Boland discovered that the key factor in his family’s history of cancer was a hereditary mutation of a gene that caused, what he named, “Lynch Syndrome.” Colon cancer runs in families. Dr. Boland explained that one in every 10 Americans with colon cancer has a direct relative who’s also had it. But only three percent of colon cancers are a consequence SEE DOCTOR, B21

Let’s Talk About Home Care. Let’s talk about how high quality, personalized in-home care can help you or a loved one. Home care can keep older adults in their homes. 9 out of 10 of seniors prefer to age in their own homes. Hiring a caregiver provides the extra support an older adult may need to stay where they most prefer: at home. Home care helps seniors stay independent longer. A caregiver provides support with activities of daily living, while encouraging mental and physical stimulation and overall wellness. They also promote safety in the home by preventing falls or other accidents. Home care is personalized to each family. Our care plans at Home Care Assistance are tailored specifically to each client’s unique needs and preferences. Caregivers are expertly matched and managed by our client care team. Caregivers are available for a few hours every day or around-the-clock. Home care supports advanced care needs. Our caregivers are experienced and trained to support older adults who are transitioning home from the hospital, recovering from a stroke or a major medical procedure, or managing chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or diabetes.

La Jolla High sophomore to appear on ‘Jeopardy’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla High School sophomore Sabrina Duong has always had goals, and has achieved them sooner than she expected. She wanted to be an author by the time she was 15, and had a story published through a writing contest when she was 13. She wanted to qualify for the State Championships in Speech and Debate, and did so on her first try as a freshman (and again as a sophomore). She wanted to go on the television quiz show “Jeopardy” when she was an adult, but did it at the age 15. Her episode will air as part of the two-week Teen Tournament Sept. 12-23 on NBC 7 San Diego. A member of the La Jolla High School Academic League Team, Sabrina was one of the 15 students from across the nation invited to the Tournament, and recently returned from Washington D.C. where she was filming her episode. “When we got the call that I was one of the kids selected, I was really surprised. I didn’t even think I would get past the online test, I just wanted to see how far I could take it,” she said, adding the process was full of surprises. After watching “Jeopardy” one night with her dad, Henry, Sabrina joked about signing up for the Teen Tournament. “We didn’t think about it for a few months, but then one day I thought of it again and realized we never looked into (the requirements). I looked it up online and the online test was the next day. I thought, ‘OK, I have no time to prepare,’ but I signed up anyway,” she said. But there was a technical difficulty so

Sabrina Duong

ASHLEY MACKIN

she couldn’t take the test. However, because of the technical issue, a makeup test was offered a month later. “The online test was 50 questions and they give you 15 seconds to type each response,” Sabrina explained. “About 10,000 signed up for the online test and they bring 500 of those that pass a certain percentage (of correct answers) for in person interviews/auditions. We drove to LA for my audition, which consisted of a written test of 50 more questions and mock games where you use a buzzer, pick a category and practice answering in the form of a question. Then they have a personality assessment to see if the person would be good for TV.” With personality to spare, Sabrina explained that she wore a headband with cat ears on to for the audition (but wasn’t allowed to wear it on the show), and when

asked what her goal is for the future, she said she wrote “be happy.” When asked what she wants to study in college, she quipped she would one day like to have a Ph.D. in underwater basket-weaving. Although she had little time to prepare, her natural intellect and love of trivia carried her through the tests and ultimately the episode. “When I was in eighth grade, my school had a Quiz Bowl team, where we read trivia questions and could buzz in. They have what they call ‘pyramidal questions,’ where the bottom questions are ones you would know right away and the top questions are really obscure,” Sabrina said. “So I joined the Academic League Quiz Bowl team as a freshman and again this year. It’s so cool how my teammates are so smart and great. We also have great teachers (and team coaches) in Mr. Quesnell, and Ms. Lyon – without them I don’t think I would have gotten on ‘Jeopardy,’ because Quiz Bowl is a great way to prepare for the stuff that comes up on ‘Jeopardy.’ ” With an impressive ability to retain tidbits of information, Sabrina is able to recite Pi to 505 places. But the years of watching the show at home provided little help, she said. “Whenever you sit on the couch and watch ‘Jeopardy,’ you can yell out answers without having to buzz in or think about competitors, or not answer in the form of a question. You can pause and think about it a little bit, and not have to think about the audience or that (host) Alex Trebek is a few feet from you. When you are playing for the

show, you’ve got lights, mics, the buzzer, the competitors and the audience to consider, there’s a lot of pressure! It’s a lot harder than it looks on TV! Even now when I watch ‘Jeopardy,’ I think, I actually did that.” Dad Henry added that Sabrina has been watching the show since she was about 5 or 6 years old. The two also watch “The Amazing Race” together, and no surprise, Sabrina said she would also like to audition for the reality competition show. “Watching that show is the one thing I look forward to every week,” she said. “When I have a difficult test to study for, I think to myself, if I get through this I can watch ‘Amazing Race’ on Friday. My dad is one of the most skilled people I know, so I think we would make a great team. It would be ‘amazing’ to solve these tasks and see the world.” But before she can audition for “The Amazing Race,” she needs to finish high school. So in the next two years, she hopes to score in the 99th percentile on the SATs, again qualify for State with her Speech and Debate team, and graduate with above a 4.0 GPA (with her AP course load, she is well on her way). Smiling, her father said while Sabrina’s accomplishments are impressive, it is the bond they share that he is most grateful for. “It’s great that we get to spend so much time together. I’m proud of her and am happy about what she has accomplished, but I’m most proud of and feel blessed by the closeness we have.”

Isabella Itkin is ready to high-five a friend after making a successful dish (don’t leave her hanging!).

La Jolla siblings plan kids’ cooking channel BY ASHLEY MACKIN While most children cringe at the sight of something green on their dinner plates, La Jollans Isabella and Benjamin Itkin love their veggies ... at least, some of them. And they love to cook at home. So 7-year-old Isabella and 5-year-old Benjamin are launching a YouTube channel for ages 5-12, where kids can post videos demonstrating their favorite healthful dishes and snacks. In development, with a launch in the coming months, “Mi Kidz: The Ultimate Cooking Playground” will provide a place for young chefs to share recipes. As mom Masha Itkin, founder of Mi Advice health and wellness coaching, explained, “We want to raise awareness and get the community involved and uploading videos. They can start now and look at recipes they like that they would want to share, and maybe film a video so when the website is ready, they can upload them. “We want to make cooking — and cooking healthy — cool and accessible for kids. Anything you cook at home, even if it’s not ‘healthy,’ is healthier than going out because you know what’s going in the food.” Noticing that when Isabella would make her own food, she took more ownership of it and would make healthier choices, Masha added, “It’s easier to start them eating healthy than force them to change their habits. We want to get them cooking early and developing a palate that likes broccoli and other veggies. Cooking also benefits every part of a child’s life and development – math, motor skills, history, geography and teamwork.” Quick to jump onboard with the Mi Kidz project, Isabella said she loves making salads and healthy alternatives to mass-produced favorites. She even has her own homemade version of a cinnamon-y crunchy cereal. While on spring break, she volunteered in her brother’s classroom to make healthy lollipops. “Not like the ones you lick that have food coloring, this one has coconut, nuts, raisins and seeds,” she said. “They are just like energy bars, but you roll them into balls and can put a stick in it. You don’t have to bake them so you can just make them.”

the government every year

Brother Benjamin chimed in that he “loves them.” Always willing to lend each other a hand, Isabella said she loves to make salads and Benjamin helps by making salad dressing. “One time when we were making a video, I said my name is Isabella and today we are making … and I completely forgot, so Benjamin said (in the background) ‘Salad! Salad! Sal-aaaad!’ ” Isabella said. Her other specialty is what she calls Mason Jar Rice, an alternative to fried rice. “It has carrots, rice obviously, peas, eggs and some more things. It’s a great thing to take to lunch,” she said. Benjamin’s specialty is bloopers, which will also be posted on the site. “They are so funny,” he said. Mom Masha explained in one blooper, Benjamin was mixing something in a bowl on the counter, and the bowl fell to the ground, causing a messy explosion. The shocked look on his face said it all, Masha joked. Hopeful that the enthusiasm for cooking in children will be more contagious – bloopers and all – if it comes from other children, Mi Kidz hopes to create a generation of healthy eaters. So chefs (or their parents) will be encouraged to use the hashtag #goodeaterforlife when posting videos. More information can be found by visiting kickstarter.com and searching “Mi Kidz.”

taboo. His father, who suffered his first colon cancer during World War II, never discussed the issue openly. “He was scared to death to talk about it. I was his son and his namesake and he never discussed it with me,” Boland said. “It was like saying, ‘You know that Uncle Harvey is gay,’ back then in the 1950s.” Boland recommends full disclosure of health concerns within families. Knowing if the Lynch Syndrome runs in your family can save lives. In Boland’s family, most of his father’s generation died of cancer. In his generation, only the two elder cousins succumbed to the disease. His sister, Suzanne, to whom he devotes an entire chapter in the book, has survived four cancers. “Once we knew who had the gene and who didn’t have the gene, those who didn’t carry the mutation didn’t need this intensive screening. But once you have it, you say, ‘You have to have a colonoscopy every year,’ and if you are a woman you need to do this and that, because of the gynecological cancers,” Boland explained. He added that the average person should get his or her first colon cancer

of the Lynch Syndrome. “And then a whole bunch more will have a strong family history probably because of their habits,” Boland said. Diet is a key risk factor in developing colon cancer. People with diets high in fat and red meat see a higher occurrence than people with vegetarian diets. Alcohol, smoke, exercise and the amount of sunshine one gets are also factors in the cancer equation. “It’s probably because sunshine drives vitamin D production in the skin and that’s moderately protective of colon cancer,” Boland said. The size of his family contributed to the success of his research. “Geneticists love big families,” he said. “I am one of 27 first cousins among the offspring of my father and his 12 siblings. My two eldest cousins died of their cancers (one was the eldest, Trudy, from whose blood we found and cloned the family's mutation), and her brother, who refused to be tested, had no children, and finally died of his third cancer.” In Boland’s family, cancer talk is a

screening at age 50. The results of the colonoscopy will not only determine if that person has cancer, but it breaks down the frequency with which subsequent colonoscopies should be repeated. Five to 10 years is the most usual period. Lynch Syndrome is very different from other colon cancers, Boland pointed out. It appears earlier in life and it develops faster. If you have a first-degree relative who suffered a cancer with these premises, you could contact a genetic counselor to find out more about your family’s medical history and if the mutation runs in your genes. —“Cancer Family. The Search for the Cause of Hereditary Colorectal Cancer,” is available at amazon.com or by contacting crichardboland@gmail.com Editor’s Note: On May 22, Dr. Boland will receive the Julius Friedenwald Medal from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) at its annual meeting in San Diego. Established in 1941, the award recognizes an individual who has contributed significantly to the AGA and has made lifelong contributions to the field of gastroenterology.

In 2015, Dr. Boland was awarded the AGA William Beaumont Prize, which recognizes a senior investigator who has made a contribution to significantly advance the care of patients with digestive diseases through clinical or translational research. In October 2015, he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Collaborative Group of the Americas on Inherited Colorectal Cancer (CGA-ICC). Of the recognitions, Dr. Boland told La Jolla Light, “As I heard Michael Brown, M.D. recently say about awards (and he is a Nobel Prize winner), if you are a MLB team, the point is to win the World Series. If you are an NBA team, it's the Championship. But in science, it's about finding the truth, and the awards are not the point, but a ‘pleasant afterthought.’ Indeed this is the case, and all three of my daughters and a couple of other family members are traveling to San Diego for this Sunday's awards ceremony, so it will be very pleasant and meaningful to me. It's nice to be honored by one's peers, but that was never the goal. It just worked out that way.”

New gallery to show images of La Jolla BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN a Jolla landscape photographer Aaron Goulding will hold a grand opening for “The Aaron Goulding Photography Gallery,” 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, May, 21 at 1273 Prospect St. A smaller reception will be held for family and friends 6-10 p.m. Saturday, May 20, although he said, “pretty much everyone is welcome.” The space will host 15-20 photographs by Goulding that feature the natural beauty of La Jolla and its ocean life, priced from $1,500 to $5,000. His creations are printed on canvas or aluminum. Goulding said the caves and WindanSea are some of his favorite shooting spots. “The ocean has been a big part of my life since age 15,” he said, adding he was born in Linwood, Los Angeles and lived in Southern California most of his life. “My wife and I have been always in love with La Jolla … We always wanted to live in this area,” he said. Like many other landscape photographers, Goulding uses long exposures to capture the motion of the ocean and colorful sunsets and sunrises. But, one thing he does differently, is go into the ocean to shoot the waves from the inside. “Sometimes I get beat,” he laughed. “I get in the water and I capture waves that break over me. I’m just swimming and my camera goes in a water housing. It’s fun, I take a beating to get those shots, and it’s something

The picture ‘Graceland’ portrays La Jolla Cove.

I’m very passionate about.” The results are beautiful, detailed pictures of roll-like waves, underwater selfies or colorful ocean surfaces. In the back of the gallery, there is a small studio that Goulding intends to rent out to other local or visiting photographers to use. He will set hourly, daily and monthly Aaron fees for the space. “I Goulding want to give people a place to get work done at an affordable price.” Goulding said he is excited for the grand opening. “For me it’s a big dream of mine to open my gallery to show the people of La Jolla what I’ve seen for the last 25 years inside and outside of the water.” Currently, Goulding rents a small studio at 1255 Coast Boulevard, across from the Cove. He said he receives many visits from tourists there. He called the new gallery an “upgrade,” because the studio he’s been in for the past three years is very small. The artist also has a second job. He owns a teeth-cleaning service for sensitive pets that doesn’t use anesthesia. “It keeps me busy and I love the animals,” Goulding said. The phone number for the gallery is (858) 312-0970. —On the Web: aarongouldingphotography.com
