City: Coast Blvd. stair project to start June 14
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON It’s been over a year since La Jollans lost the beach access staircase at 100 Coast Blvd., known as The Horseshoe, due to a storm that destroyed the steps (See timeline on A21). Despite the fact that the lack of access was declared an “emergency” by the City, the stairs have been fenced-off since late 2015. Throughout 2016, work to get the stairs reinstated faced multiple stumbling blocks (from determining
whether the project was a “replacement” or “repair” and scheduling the work accordingly, to discovering a cavity in the seawall that jeopardized its stability), but City officials believe all the issues have been resolved and work will begin next month. In spring 2016, the La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) advisory group formed a sub-committee to investigate getting the stairs back and the subcommittee has been
reporting on the issue at monthly meetings ever since. Jong Choi, senior civil engineer with the City of San Diego Public Works Department, updated the group at the LJP&B meeting May 22 at La Jolla Rec Center. The most recent issue, he explained, has to do with the shoring structure that will support the staircase. The original idea was to attach the staircase to an adjacent seawall, but SEE STAIRS, A20

LA JOLLA LIGHT - JUNE 1, 2017 - PAGE A3
Motor Vehicles, states: “This law means that you may never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. For example, if you are driving 45 mph in a 55 mph speed zone during a dense fog, you may be cited for driving ‘too fast for conditions.’ ” There are four main conditions that should affect the speed drivers use in California: 1) Other vehicle’s speed; 2) Road surface conditions (smooth, rough, graveled, wet, dry, wide, narrow); 3) Proximity of bicyclists or pedestrians; 4) Weather conditions (rain, fog, snow, wind, dust). Most California highways have a set speed limit of 65 mph. Drivers may exceed it up to 70 mph where posted. For a two-lane undivided highway the speed limit is 55 mph unless otherwise posted. Other speed limit signs are posted for the type of roads and traffic in each area, all speed limits are based on ideal driving conditions. Constructions zones usually have reduced speed zones. California’s fine for speeding starts at $35. But San Diego County drivers can expect to pay at least $235, thanks to court fees, a state surcharge and increasingly hefty penalty assessments — extra dollars tacked on to fund local and state programs.

Park & Rec board debates next move with playground project
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON When it comes to moving forward on the La Jolla Rec Center playground renovation project, the La Jolla Park & Recreation (LJPR), Inc. board, admittedly worried about “spinning our wheels,” debated their next move for over an hour at the May 24 meeting. Board members ultimately decided to ask for color renderings of different playground layouts, and present them for community input over the summer. At issue was whether the board has given the community enough time to provide feedback, how to make decisions that would best appease residents, and the appropriate time for taking such actions. LJPR announced plans to renovate the playground in November 2016. Some of the play equipment is as
much as 60 years old. In December, the board hosted a town hall forum to collect ideas. A question of whether to replace existing structures or completely redesign the playground was raised. Since then, only one new plan has been presented: to move the basketball courts to what is now the “tot lot” and combine both play structures into one in the center of the playground. The board has discussed playground plans and welcomed additional presentations at each of its monthly meetings in 2017. There was also an information booth at the Spring Egg Hunt in April, and a survey that went out online at reviveljrc.org/survey LJPR acting chair Mary Coakley-Munk opined, “At this point, we’ve been available to the community SEE PLAYGROUND, A6

Class Dismissed!
Four Bird Rock teachers retire with parting thoughts
Retiring Bird Rock Elementary School teachers: Peggy Ray, Barbara McDonald, Sandy Sibley and Lori Van Orden
ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON Between the four teachers retiring from Bird Rock Elementary School (BRES) in June, there are almost 100 years of education lessons to be learned. Before Lori Van Orden, Peggy Ray, Sandy Sibley and Barbara McDonald conclude their longtime careers, they sat down with La Jolla Light to reflect on their experiences at 5371 La Jolla Hermosa Ave. Kindergarten teacher Van Orden has been at BRES for 19 years. First-grade teacher McDonald has been there for 29 years. Ray has been teaching for 37 years — in second grade at Bird Rock for 14 years and some time teaching through the Department of Defense. Second-grade-turned-first-grade teacher Sibley taught at Bird Rock for 27 years, after six years as a teacher in Connecticut. Oddly enough, in all that time, they agree the school hasn’t changed much. “That’s a good thing,” said Van Orden. “It’s always been such as a strong neighborhood school with family support and hands-on parents who are here so much. It’s a positive that the school has kept that.” Added McDonald, “It’s a family and always has been. It takes a village to raise these kids, and we have a great village here, with lots of support from the families in the classrooms.” The education system, however, has changed quite a bit, they insist — education

standards and expectations have become more rigorous and there are higher demands on students and teachers. “Technology has come into the room and that’s a big thing nowadays,” Van Orden said. “There is also more testing, maybe not at the level we teach, but there is more of it. The curriculum has also been moved up. It used to be that kindergarten was for teaching children how to behave at school, now you’re expected to teach them to read in kindergarten.” Ray added, “There are more demands placed on teachers now, and while things are being added to the curriculum, nothing is being taken out. We are expected to design the curriculum and lessons (to include everything) as opposed to using a teacher’s manual you can tweak. This means teachers work 10-12 hour days and weekends.” But, at the end of the day, it’s all worth it for these dedicated educators. Especially when you consider the young age of their joyful pupils. In elementary school, they point out, “every day is the best day ever” and “you are their favorite teacher” and “you’re beautiful.” Sibley said, “School has to be fun for them, especially at this age, or they won’t want to come to school ... and neither will we!” Van Orden added, “A lot of things are new to them, so you get to watch them experience things for the first time. Being able to see the kids as they go through the grades is something I’ll miss. First, they are yours and you see them grow through the years, and you check-in with them when they’re in second grade and fifth grade and when they come back for visits. Once they

are yours, they are always yours. The kind words from parents make this such a fulfilling job.”
Entering the profession
Each soon-to-be retiree entered the profession from a different path. For Ray, her “horrible” home economics teacher motivated her. “I thought the teacher was horrible and I thought the stuff you did in home-ec was important and could be so much more fun. I decided I could do (better), so I did. I taught high school home-ec and worked my way down in grades until I reached second grade,” she said.
Sibley, who grew up in Connecticut, said teaching was a natural progression. “I worked for the Park & Rec department during the summer and loved being with kids, so it was the love of kids that got me into teaching. I also have sisters who are teachers,” she said. For McDonald, teaching was in her lineage. “My dad was an administrator downtown. I have two sisters who are teachers. I think I was born to teach. I don’t know if teaching is something you can learn, it’s a gift you are born with,” she said. Van Orden said for her, teaching was a second career. “I started in marketing and
public relations. But I have two children, now grown, and when they were in school I volunteered in the classroom and in Girl Scouts, and then thought about making a career out of that. My dad was also a teacher.”
A message to parents
By way of parting words, each shared insights into student needs and what they wish parents knew. Van Orden: “Savor this time with your young child because it goes really fast. We all have adult children now and it does seem like yesterday sometimes that my own were going to kindergarten. With technology, it’s easy to become distracted, so put the phone down and play with your child.” Sibley: “There is so much going on with children, they get taken from this sport to that play-date, so slow down! And listen to them because they have good thoughts in their heads.” Ray: “Your kids need to fail to learn from their mistakes. Let them fall on their face. Don’t bail them out and do things for them. Change is inevitable, so let your child experience change when you are there to support them. Help them solve problems, don’t solve the problems for them. When they solve something for themselves, it’s like candy for the heart. It makes them feel so good when they’ve done something empowering for themselves.” When asked if they had a message for the Bird Rock community, they simply said, in unison, “Thank you.” The last day of school for Bird Rock Elementary, and these four teachers, is Wednesday, June 14.

La Jolla Park & Rec, Inc. board members Lizzet FitzCluster, Pat Miller, Jan Harris and Jill Peters FROM PLAYGROUND, A3 at the Egg Hunt, the town hall meeting, our meetings have been completely open, and most people have not expressed an opinion about anything.” Member Jeff Gerwin added, “This has been going on since last year … and we can have another town hall meeting and present what we have, but we are dragging our feet. We need to step up, especially if we are going to start fundraising and see this progress. We should have plan A, B or C and create something people can see and ask the community for feedback.” Conversely, some board members argued that the community had not had enough time to properly weigh in. Parent Hilary Daly said, “I know you (as a board) want to move this along, but this is an important place, it’s an important historical building and … you can’t just snap your fingers and come to a decision. This is bigger than just moving things around or not. I want my kids to have a place to play, but it’s more than that. You can’t force it through at this pace.” LJPR member Gail Forbes added, “If it takes us two or three more months to build consensus in the community, it will pay off in the long-run. I can’t tell you how many projects went through full review and then at the last minute, opponents came out of the woodwork and the project had to be re-done.” Hoping to meet somewhere in the middle, LJPR member Bill Robbins suggested presenting any available color renderings at the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla’s Pancake Breakfast, July 22 at the Rec Center. “The pancake breakfast is the first opportunity, not the only opportunity, so if renderings are available at the pancake breakfast, let’s present them there,” he said. Any additional playground ideas could also be presented, and those interested in submitting plans may contact Coakley-Munk. The proposals thus far that would be presented in renderings are 1) to leave the layout as it is, but with an upgrade to the play equipment and increasing the space between the structures to accommodate ADA laws; 2) rearrange the playground and move the basketball courts; 3) a plan with the playground at its current footprint, but with the addition of shade structures. The shade structure concept emerged as a playground need as a result of the online survey that went live in April. As of the May meeting, LJPR members had 217 digital responses and additional ones that were hand written. The deadline to complete the survey is June 1. “The No. 1 thing (respondents) said they wanted, thus far, was a shade structure — that’s from 64 percent of responders,” said survey facilitator and volunteer Dan McCandless. The No. 2 thing was improved
bathrooms. “There was also an ‘other’ option where people could write out comments, which included everything from sand volleyball courts to support for a skate-park and then, some directly asking that a skate-park not be constructed,” he explained. Because no other additions or changes were definitive front-runners, some board members supported including shade structures in the plans they would present, but little else. LJPR Pat Miller suggested reaching out to architects and landscape designers to ask them to create the renderings. Coakley-Munk said she would see if it is feasible and advocated for a “concerted effort” to have detailed renderings at the Pancake Breakfast. In addition to the Pancake Breakfast, several board members supported hosting a day at the Rec Center at which the renderings could be posted and the community could come by and cast their votes. As to when the board would vote on a layout or concept, Coakley-Munk noted many people are out of town during the summer and questioned whether there would be a quorum at the June and July meetings. The board does not meet in August. The soonest LJPR could likely take action is September.
In other Park & Rec news:
■ Support for track access: After a presentation by La Jolla High School track access advocate Kay Plantes, the board voted to sign a letter in support of restoring the community’s access to the track. “The track used to be open to the public, but the current school principal (Charles Podhorsky) has closed the access and we think having the track open is important for the health of residents. It’s the only level place where people can run and walk without proximity to cars,” she said. She added that she and those hoping for restored access would be willing to pay a nominal fee to use the track, or some other mutually agreed upon compromise, such as a waiver. Plantes also said she would plead the case at other community advisory groups. ■ Funding approved: The board also approved expenditures associated with hosting the Kiwanis Club of La Jolla Pancake Breakfast (not to exceed $1,000), the Senior Luau dance (not to exceed $1,800), digital advertising in the form of E-blasts (not to exceed $1,000) and the purchase of two small fans for the meeting rooms (tentatively $77, with more to be bought if needed). ■ Teen programming: At the next meeting, LJPR will hear ideas for expanding the program offerings for teens to go beyond pick-up sport games and basketball teams. The board next meets 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 28 at Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. bit.ly/ljreccenter

PDO board approves 8-lot subdivision in La Jolla Shores
Plans next heard by Permit Review Committee BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The La Jolla Shores Planned District Ordinance advisory board (LJSPDO) approved an eight-lot subdivision for a 4.45-acre site at 8280 Calle del Cielo during the May 15 meeting at La Jolla Rec Center. The project, presented by architect Paul Benton, has been making its rounds around the town’s advisory boards for information-only presentations, and the LJSPDO was the first one to give the project a thumbs-up. The 8280 Calle del Cielo site is east of La Jolla Shores Drive and south of Calle del Oro, at the end of a cul-de-sac. Benton’s plan is to subdivide the land into eight, approximately half-acre lots, seven of which would have access from Calle del Cielo and the eighth from Calle Frescota, a private street off La Jolla Shores Drive. The plan proposes to grade the parcel and build a road extending Calle del Cielo first, and then construct the individual, 7,500-square-foot custom houses once buyers are identified. For constructing the two-story houses, architects are taking advantage of the steep slope within the lot, making the structures look like one-story homes from the east. Developer Louis Beacham spoke of the effort the team behind the subdivision is making to gain the neighborhood’s support. “We’ve met with neighbors in their homes,

Currently, the Calle del Cielo site drains rainwater to the west on Calle Frescota, where neighbors have previously reported flooding. The subdivision project proposes to catch the stormwater in basins and slow it down before it’s released through a 14-inch pipe onto Calle Frescota so it dissipates before reaching La Jolla Shores Drive. Calle Frescota resident Richard Van Wert said (referring to the sloped terrain before Calle Frescota reaches La Jolla Shores Drive), “We worry that the reservoir is in the right-of-way and directs back toward our house.” Project Civil Engineer Tony Crisafi said the plans include paving the area VanWert is worried about to prevent any flooding. “We want to slow it down even more, if we run it through rock before going to the street, that slows (water) down,” he added. Beacham reassured Van Wert they will look into it further.

Genetic background can provide clues about possible future tumors
I
n Steven Spielberg’s 2002 science fiction thriller “Minority Report,” Tom Cruise leads a futuristic police unit whose job is to prevent crimes based upon three mutated humans called “precogs” who “previsualize” crimes via visions of the future. In other words, the precogs predict where and when something bad is going to happen. It’s Cruise’s job to make sure it doesn’t. The notion is fantastic, originally conceived by novelist Philip K. Dick, with an emphasis on the definition of fantastic — to be imaginative, fanciful, remote from reality. Or not. “Minority Report” was Hollywood fantasy, but a research article published in the journal Cancer Discovery earlier this year suggests the idea isn’t so far-fetched, at least in terms of potentially predicting and preventing individual cancers. Hannah Carter, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine, and Trey Ideker, Ph.D., professor of medicine and genetics, both at UC San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center, are the first and senior authors of the article, respectively.
“Our findings suggest that a person’s genetic background can provide clues about what their tumor might look like if they did happen to get cancer, including where it might occur and what mutations might appear,” said Carter, a recipient of the prestigious NIH Early Independence Award, which is designed to accelerate the research of exceptional scientists early in their careers. It’s well known that a person’s genetic background plays an important role in cancer. We are all vulnerable or predisposed, in varying degrees, to different kinds of cancer based upon our genes or mutations. “Researchers tend to focus on genetic cancer risk or on DNA mutations in tumor genomes,” said Carter, “but they don’t often relate the two. We did a genome-wide screen looking for inherited genetic variation that directly affects observable characteristics of tumors.” Specifically, Carter and colleagues tested more than 2 million genetic variants in 10,000 cancer patients participating in The Cancer Genome Atlas, an ongoing,

‘Minority Report’ was Hollywood fantasy, but a research article published in the journal Cancer Discovery earlier this year suggests the idea isn’t so far-fetched, at least in terms of potentially predicting and preventing individual cancers. national effort to catalog genetic mutations responsible for cancer. “We found more than 400 variants that influence either the tissue site where a tumor emerges or the genes that are mutated in that tumor’s genome,” Carter said. “Some of
the variants affected nearby genes that were performing similar functions to the mutated genes in the tumor, providing new clues to unravel how an individual’s genetic background shapes the genetic landscape of their tumor.” In essence, the researchers revealed a landscape of common germline variants (mutations in heritable genetic material) that influence how and where tumors develop. It’s a possible preview of what kind of cancer might appear later in a patient’s life — and where. “This type of information could help improve screening to detect tumors and maybe even allow pre-emptive design of drug combinations that will be effective,” said Carter. “Now we need follow-on studies with much larger numbers of patients to really map out this landscape and determine how to best use it to fight cancer.” In past columns, I’ve written that the best cancer treatment is the one that prevents cancer altogether. Modern medicine and common sense (exercise, eat right, don’t smoke) are already driving that effort with measurable success. Carter, Ideker and colleagues are writing the next chapter — and maybe the future-forward script for another Hollywood movie. — Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is director of UCSD Moores Cancer Center.

A Few Good Women Sgt. Major Jennifer Simmons talks about her life as a Marine BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Major Jennifer Simmons is one of 23 females in her rank across the force (there are 419 male Sgt. Majors). In the first “Women in Leadership” lecture of the next series (which will be dedicated to women serving in the military), Simmons spoke of her experience in a male-dominated field May 24 at the La Jolla Woman’s Club. Women make up seven percent of the Marine Corps, Simmons said. “The history of women in the Corps began August 1918 when the first woman enlisted,” she said, and she went on to relate how between World War I and II women weren’t allowed to serve. It was 1948 when Congress passed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act that allowed females to become permanent, regular members of the Armed Forces in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force. “The playing field is not completely level, but neither is it as gender institutionalized as it once was,” she explained. “The Marine Corps prides itself on the motivation, tenacity and ambition of its women.” Simmons has served in the Marine Corps for 29 years, and in that time she has led roles that range from intelligence to recruitment. In her words, “It has not been easy. (But) I cherish it, and when I think about it, I’m glad I went through all those troubles and tribulations because it made me a stronger woman.” She said she joined the service right after
Marine Corps Sgt. Major Jennifer Simmons high school because “I grew up poor in North Carolina and didn’t want to be on welfare.” However, the reason she gave for choosing the Marine Corps was “everyone in my high school was joining the Army and I wanted to be different,” which sparked

audience laughter. During her first years on the Force, she got married and had a daughter, but ended up getting a divorce and raising her daughter as a single parent. “I used to live payday to payday,” she began, “My leaders in the
Marine Corps had no idea what I was going through because I knew how to put on a different face, because I had to represent women and myself. I felt at times I was leading a double life.” As an active service member, Simmons went on many deployments to remote parts of the world. When asked how she managed to raise her daughter while away on duty, she said, “Some of the people I’ve met in the Marine Corps I find myself closer to than my blood relatives. (When) I deployed as a single parent, there was always a family on base that helped me. We rely heavily on each other.” Nonetheless, the support of other Marines didn’t save her the heartache of not being present for her daughter’s 16th birthday. After many years, Simmons remarried another Marine and she’s proud to say she outranks him. “We’ve been married for 12 years, and he’s my best friend, but I have an issue with him, he retired before me,” she explained, “But trust me ladies, I have your back, I make sure that he does the laundry and keeps the house!” All Active Duty Marine Corps members have education benefits. Simmons said she took advantage of them and completed her associate, bachelor and master’s degrees. Also, she reported, “I got all my credits for my doctorate, I just haven’t had a chance to do my dissertation, but as soon as I retire, the first thing I want to do is defend my dissertation so I can get my business degree SEE MARINE, A24

Active Rest Chiropractic: Helping the body heal itself
BY DAVID L. CODDON The words “active” and “rest” might seem contradictory, but when it comes to healing the body or treating its pain, the two constitute a winning combination. Said Dr. Collan Koeppen of Active Rest Chiropractic in La Jolla, “Active Rest is a philosophy of healing where people realize over time, whether they’ve been immobilized, broken an arm or had a serious injury, that they need to get active as soon as possible so their body can heal. People think they’re resting, but their body’s actually working extremely hard to heal. “The whole point is to have the notion of activity in the healing process. We help people get out of pain, but I want them to think they’re going to live their ideal lifestyle, and we’re going to help them heal themselves.” Those people, by the way, include athletes in “the majority of professional sports and the Olympics,” Koeppen said. But this treatment is available right on Fay Avenue in La Jolla, where Active Rest has called home for more than seven years. Besides ART (Active Rest Techniques), upper cervical adjustments, cranial facial release, ultrasound imaging and massage are among the office’s services. Treatments frequently incorporate massage. “It is extremely beneficial for somebody to have massage in conjunction with this type of

care,” explained Koeppen. “It gets the body, No. 1, out of a spastic, contractive state; and No. 2, it relaxes the muscles and breaks a lot of the knots to allow me (with the ART protocol and the adjusting) to really do the more difficult areas, the underlying
problems that aren’t always addressed with basic massage.” The relationship between mind and body is also a chief factor in healing. “Our whole idea is that if you remove the interference to somebody’s natural self-healing process, the
body does have the ability to heal itself as opposed to looking from the outside in for something else to heal you,” said Koeppen. “We unlock the availability for you to heal yourself. “There are many people who go through their whole lives looking for something from the outside, including happiness. The best things in life come from within.” Active Rest’s patients include those who are in pain when they make their first appointment, as well as those “on maintenance and continuing to improve,” said Koeppen, who added that maintenance is based on an individual’s three categories of stress — physical, chemical and emotional. The category (or categories) in place determines the course of treatment. For Koeppen, who was inspired to heal others after suffering a childhood sports injury and recovering from it, “Every day is rewarding. We want to make sure we help people not just get out of pain, but also have their body work right.” Active Rest Chiropractic is at 7590 Fay Ave., Suite 504 in La Jolla. Hours: 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday and Thursday; 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday.

Ask the Psychiatrist:
Depression Those suffering from depression often compare their condition to living underwater: interactions feel muffled, perspective is blurred, and completing even simple tasks can be slow and difficult. For the estimated 14 million American adults suffering from depressive disorders, symptoms like isolation, numbness, lethargy, irritability, and helplessness can interfere with every aspect of life. While depression is incredibly common, society-wide stigma and misconceptions often prevent sufferers from getting the help they deserve. Below, True Life’s Executive Medical Director, Dr. Krista Roybal answers some common questions on depression. When I bring up my struggles with depression to loved ones they either encourage me to “snap out of it” and “cheer up,” or remind me of the many things I have to be grateful for – which only makes me feel guilty for not feeling better. Are they right? Am I “too blessed to be depressed”? I’m so sorry that you are struggling and that your loved ones aren’t responding with the empathy you might hope for. Unfortunately, depression is largely misunderstood, and though your friends and family may have the best intentions, they are likely unaware of the complexity and severity of the disease. It’s an invisible condition that affects you every day while the rest of the world carries on, unable to understand what’s going on inside you. Similar to chronic illnesses like cancer or autoimmune diseases, depression does not discriminate. It can affect anyone at any time, even those who are otherwise “blessed.” Trying to force yourself out of it is not the answer, so don’t feel guilty if you’ve been struggling to deal with it alone. Depression is a biological, brain-based disease that requires proper care. A great practitioner or center will provide you with the compassionate support you are seeking and help you to educate your loved ones. Ever since my dad’s death last year, I’ve felt hopeless, restless, and can’t sleep through the night. My primary physician recommended
antidepressants, but I declined. I’m just grieving, I’m not depressed…right? My condolences on the passing of your father. Losing a parent is always difficult, and there is no right way or length of time to grieve. Grief can easily turn into depression (just as pre-existing depression can complicate grief), and the symptoms are nearly identical: despair, fatigue, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, inability to concentrate, and loss of interest. I’m much less concerned with whether grief or depression is causing your suffering than I am with the fact that you are suffering. One year of struggling with insomnia, low energy, and poor motivation has probably been incredibly disruptive to your sense of wellbeing. Talking with a mental health professional about your loss and exploring options for healing (which may or may not include medication) could help you to cope with this new reality and find the strength to return to a full life. A close friend recently confessed that she has depression. This came as a shock to me as she consistently optimistic and cheerful. Is there anything I can or should do to support her through this? You’re a good friend to ask this question. Depression can be an extremely isolating illness, more so when loved ones drift away because they’re afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing. Often the most powerful support you can give is simply being there for your friend without judgment and letting her be however she needs to be without pretending. That might mean holding her hand while she cries, offering to drop by with dinner, or leaving her a sweet voicemail. Don’t be afraid to ask if there’s anything you can do to help. I would also recommend that you learn as much as you can about depression. Popular myths about depression, including the idea that those who present as optimistic and cheerful can’t be inwardly depressed, can be harmful and minimizing. If you have questions about depression or want to learn more about the treatment of depression or other mental health issues, please call True Life Center at 858-384-4535. We would be happy to provide information, resources, and support.
The 100 Coast Blvd. stairs, as seen from the beach below FROM STAIRS, A1 issues with the homeowners association of the building that owns the seawall caused the City to reevaluate the plans. The City’s new solution is to build the stairs independent of the building and forgo the shoring. “We had plans to start construction in early May, but at the last minute, the shoring contractor pulled out of the project because workers came on-site and realized the stairs are so close to the water that the shoring could wash away from high tides,” he said. “So the contractor contacted 10 other shoring companies and none of them wanted to be part of this project due to the shoring concern. One contractor was willing to do it, but his price was twice the overall construction budget, so we couldn’t accept it.” The City decided to postpone construction by one month to research the beach conditions and find alternatives. Choi explained that the sand level increases “quite a bit” during summer months and the waves are smaller than in the winter months. As such, engineers believe they can build a concrete foundation during the summer without shoring. “It is a bit of a risk, but that is our plan right now,” Choi said, adding that construction would start June 14 and take eight weeks to build the whole stairway. After the construction, the City would own the stairs and maintain them going forward.
In other LJP&B news:
■ Burgers & Brews event introduced: La Jolla Village Merchants Association vice-president Brett Murphy explained plans for a “Burgers & Brews” event in Scripps Park to kick-off the Breeders’ Cup horse races. He said the Merchant’s Association is partnering with the Breeders’ Cup organizers (the event is Nov. 3-4 at the Del Mar Racetrack) in the

hope of bringing race-goers to La Jolla. “Burgers & Brews will give us an opportunity to get in on the Breeders’ Cup and bring people here so they can shop. We need them to see what great dining and shopping we have in La Jolla,” he said. Breeder’s Cup management suggested La Jolla host a Burgers & Brews festival, which is run by an independent company that hosts events across the country in partnership with other events. Proceeds would benefit the University City-based BraveCort Foundation to support research in the fight against childhood cancer, specifically pediatric brain cancer. The Burgers & Brews proposal will also be heard at La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory group meeting, June 21. Rather than vote or take action on the event, LJP&B decided to wait until T&T can review the details and have the proposal return to LJP&B’s June 25 meeting. ■ New member seated: To replace outgoing member Zack Spitzer, LJP&B chair Ann Dynes seated Janet Collins. “She is a New England native and was an educator. She moved to La Jolla in 2005,” Dynes said. Collins later told La Jolla Light that her interest in the board is to see the Coast Blvd. stairs reinstated. ■ Black’s Overlook bench: Discussion continued on the Black’s Overlook vegetation project, and its lack of a bench. The project was introduced in 2016, and when it was first discussed, a bench was requested. When the project was revisited, a bench was included in the plans. Earlier this year, seedlings were planted at the site, but no bench was placed. The vegetation was privately funded by neighboring residents. “The project was executed without the bench, so (LJP&B members) Melinda

Janet Collins joins the La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory board as a voting member. Merryweather and Mary Ellen Morgan are of the opinion that the failure to install a bench justifies asking the neighbors to tear out the plants and (replace them with) woodchips,” summarized chair Dynes. Merryweather added, “I would never have voted to support this without the bench. I would rather have the ocean view than the shrubs and bushes that are now there.” However, LJP&B member Judy Adams Halter said she was worried about the message it would send if the board were to take such action. “It would be terrible bad-will to tear out those plants because of a bench and we don’t want to come off that way,” she said. A motion to remove the vegetation failed. As an alternative, a sub-committee to visit the site and research bench options agreed to form and report back at a future meeting. — Parks & Beaches next meets 4 p.m. Monday, June 25 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org
■ Late 2015: A winter storm blows the staircase apart between 100-200 Coast Blvd., which lead to the beach area known as “The Horseshoe.” ■ Early 2016: The City of San Diego blocks the access and posts a chain-link fence at the top of the stairs. ■ March 2016: A La Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) sub-committee forms to explore getting the stairs reinstated, but is told the stairs were beyond repair and would have to be built from scratch. As such, the project would have to be ADA-compliant and meet City Code and would take years to complete. ■ June 2016: The City declares the lack of access an “emergency” and says the stairs will be treated as such in getting them replaced. At this time, former City Council member Sherri Lightner told La Jolla Light, “I strongly support the decision to designate the Coast Boulevard stair replacement as an emergency. This is an important coastal access and public safety issue, and our office will continue to work with City staff to expedite this project.” ■ Late summer 2016: City representatives announce staircase repair work would begin in October. ■ October 2016: City engineers discover a cavity in the seawall and announce they will need to work with the homeowners association of the adjoining building to get it evaluated. With the pending winter and predicted storms, it is expected that the work will be postponed to 2017. ■ January 2017: City public information officer Mónica Muñoz reports: “The design of this project has been completed and we have awarded it to a contractor. The site observation performed at the beginning revealed there was a void under the seawall that is owned by the adjacent homeowner’s association (HOA). We advised the HOA to have this evaluated by an independent geotechnical firm. “The HOA hired a consultant and shared the findings with us back in early November. The report recommended repairs in order to preserve and maintain the seawall. Since it’s imperative the repairs be done first, the City notified the HOA that we would suspend our project until they complete the repairs. Once the repairs are complete, we can move ahead with our project. We have been e-mailing the HOA but have not yet received a response from them.” ■ March 2017: Mauricio Medina, field rep for now City Council member Barbara Bry, reports the City decided to build the stairs independent of the nearby wall, allowing work to begin in April. ■ May 2017: Jong Choi, senior civil engineer with the City Public Works Department, tells the LJP&B board that engineers believe they can build a concrete foundation during the summer without shoring, adding that construction would start June 14 and take eight weeks. — Compiled by Ashley Mackin Solomon

OPINION
www.lajollalight.com
OUR READERS WRITE Has UCSD expansion reached its limits? The article in the May 18 issue of La Jolla Light about the development of a Living & Learning Neighborhood at UC San Diego was read with great interest and even greater horror. The proposal as pictured on page A14 reminds me of the overbuilding of multi-story apartment buildings on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, New York. Stacking thousands of bodies in such a restricted space is akin to monstrous beehives in addition to being an overbuild for this neighborhood. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing, and this is a bad thing and for what? To take in even more students so as to make a case for even higher pay for the school’s administration, which is already over-staffed and overpaid. The Blackhorse residents have it right! Why won’t the UC System listen to its neighbors? Oh, yeah, I forgot, the UC Chancellor is an engineer on a runaway train that is accountable to no one! Lou Cumming
Planners should not OK a student center within a neighborhood Oliver Jone’s letter in the May 18 Light about the Hillel Student Center plans reveals the San Diego Planning Commission’s predilection for letting UC San Diego expand into adjacent residential neighborhoods. I hope the City Council will show support for the neighbors by prohibiting such intrusion into the single family zone. I see five points: 1. Hillel is an esteemed campus organization with religious purpose for students. 2. Campus life rhythms and noise are incompatible with the single family zone, which relies upon quiet for fostering family life. 3. Hillel claims a right to build under a past (no longer existing) zoning provision by which it has grandfathered rights. 4. The old zoning law permitted churches, temples and any house of worship (place of religious assembly) of any religion. 5. Hillel is asking for something different than a house of worship when it asks for a campus student center with religious purpose. It’s textual interpretation focuses only on the old zoning words “primarily for religious purposes,” while ignoring their context with the preceding words “churches” and “temples.” With a reasonable interpretation, the old code permitted religious houses of worship (because ancillary to residential use) but not religious campus organizations (which are extraneous to residential use). I contend that the twisting of text as excuse for cramming a campus organization into the family zone would unfairly ignore reasonable expectations of residents relying upon the City Council to uphold the promise that residential zoning means residential use. John A. Berol
Life, law, liability and panhandlers ... In recent weeks, I have seen three instances where panhandlers on the medians on Torrey Pines Road or La Jolla Shores Drive have fallen, stumbled or miss stepped into the street and oncoming traffic. At both locations, there are
two lanes of cars/trucks turning left. At La Jolla Shores Drive, drivers making the tight turn are additionally watchful for vehicles turning in or coming out of the gas station. This is dangerous for both parties and nearby vehicles. I ask the La Jolla Light to please provide the following information or at least where concerned drivers can find the information in an effort to be safe drivers: • What are the legal rights of panhandlers? • What liability exposure do drivers have if a person places themselves in front of an oncoming, traveling vehicle? • What are the legal rights of the drivers not to have their vision impaired or distracted by persons using the safety medians for unlawful purposes? S. McWalden Editor’s Note: Since we received this letter on deadline, we did not have time to look into the questions proposed to get answers from the City and the police department. We will reach out to these sources and provide their responses in next week’s issue. Thank you for giving us all something to consider when approaching these busy medians, made even more precarious by the panhandlers poised there.
Pinnipeds’ gains are residents’ losses As a La Jollan since 1960, the Hanan & Associates, Inc. proposal to the City to post educational signs at The Cove and Children’s Pool (Casa Beach) to protect the pinnipeds there makes me wanna cry. About 18 years ago, I took my youngest son down to the Casa Pool for his first adventure with a mask and snorkel. I forgot about the seals and how the beach access was restricted, so off we went to The Cove instead because, at that time, the sea lions had not taken over the beach there. It was a beautiful day, warm water and when my son first went under, he swam through a huge school of Garibaldi. Plenty of other snorkeling and swimming, and my son made his way to one of the rocks near where the arch used to be and took in the view from the water inland. Few people see our coast from that perspective. All of that is now lost as that once spectacular area is nothing more that a sewer. I never go, he never goes, and my grandchildren will never experience what we once had and treasured. The argument is often made that children are the beneficiaries of the current situation. Well, the children of La Jolla and the beach area are deprived of the great joy we once had, and simply put, I want what is best for our kids and not tourists. John Jackson
Pinnipeds and the City’s malfeasance All of our previous District 1 City Council representatives over the past five decades have fought to maintain and improve the La Jolla shoreline for visitors and residents alike. Why has Barbara Bry decided to support the City against the clear wishes of local businesses and residents? Several weeks ago, a swimmer was attacked by a shark at San Onofre. Adult white sharks eat pinnipeds. The probability of a similar shark attack in La Jolla is small, but the law of large numbers says an attack will occur. This presents a conundrum for the City: to protect people or
pinnipeds? When an attack occurs, and it will, the City will be sued. Any decent seated juror will automatically support the plaintiff. Vocal environmental groups believe the presence of pinnipeds in La Jolla enhances the City’s coffers. This is a mantra that if said often enough makes it seem true. It is not. City officials seem oblivious to the well-publicized increase in white sharks and support a shark restaurant stretching from La Jolla Cove to the Children’s Pool, historically two of the most widely-used protected swimming beaches in San Diego County. The City has spent a considerable amount of money defending its position in court. If the City had followed sage National Marine Fisheries Service advice and dispersed these animals before they became habituated to people, then there would be no problem. Do not let pinnipeds control our coastline. David W. Valentine, Ph.D. Retired Marine Biologist
Wild marine mammals pose danger to humans I appreciate very much that you published my letter last week, which I know represents the stance of nearly all old-time La Jollans, as well as later arrivals who wish to have our precious Cove and Casa beaches restored for human use. Unfortunately, you left out one of the main points in the Guardian article I quoted in support of my statement that “we can be attacked by sea lions with rulings by environmentalists that it is not the sea lion’s fault.” The portion of the May 22 Guardian article stated: Professor Andrew Trites, the director of the marine mammal research unit at the University of British Columbia, said the sea lion was not at fault. “My first reaction to the video is just how stupid some people can be to not treat wildlife with proper respect,” he told CBC News. “This was a male California sea lion. They are huge animals. They are not circus performers. They’re not trained to be next to people.” Professor Trites does not quite respect the fact that pinnipeds belong to the order Carnivora and their closest living relatives are bears, weasels, raccoons and skunks. Perhaps he should reconsider who the predator is and the inherent danger to humans by reading T.J. Roffe’s article, “Abundances and feeding habits of pinnipeds in the Rogue River, Oregon,” in the Journal of Wildlife Management. I quote a statement from this article “Seals typically consume their prey underwater where it is swallowed whole. Prey that is too large or awkward is taken to the surface to be torn apart.” This is what the environmentalists, who live far away from our La Jolla, are using their official and legal power to impose on us to accept on our beaches that belong to our children, while thousands of miles of other beaches along the Pacific Coast lie vacant.

La Jolla Elementary bans Fidget Spinners In an E-Blast to school families that went out last week, La Jolla Elementary banned the toy, Fidget Spinners, featuring a photo of the gadget with the caption: “These are NOT allowed at school. Please make sure they stay home.” A fidget spinner is a type of stress-relieving toy, reports wikipedia. A basic fidget spinner consists of a bearing in the center of a design made from any of a variety of materials including brass, stainless steel, titanium, copper and plastic. The toy has been advertised as helping people who have trouble with focusing or fidgeting (such as those with ADHD, autism or anxiety) by acting as a release mechanism for nervous energy or stress. Experts were divided on this claim, with some supporting it while others disputed its scientific basis and argued the toy may actually be more distracting. Although they were invented in the 1990s,
A rendering of the Muse La Jolla finished exterior at 1020 Prospect St. fidget spinners became popular earlier this year. Often marketed with health benefits, the toy began being used by school children, resulting in some schools banning the spinners, arguing that the toy became a distraction in classrooms. Other schools are allowing the toy to be used discreetly by children in order to help them concentrate.

Dr. Daniel Gibson Joins Dr. Jenny Rens at Their Historic La Jolla Dental Office Dr. Jenny Rens is very pleased to announce that Dr. Daniel Gibson has officially joined the La Jolla Dental Office. Located next to the Gillespie School and across from La Jolla Elementary School on Girard Avenue, their office was established over forty years ago by Dr. Jenny’s father, with Dr. Jenny taking over nearly 25 years ago. Having built the practice by providing comprehensive care in a highly personal environment, Dr. Jenny is excited to have Dr. Gibson bring his extensive background and warm personal approach to the practice. Similar roots – Growing up in a dental family As Dr. Gibson’s father was also a dentist, he has a natural understanding of the concerns and challenges people face when seeing the dentist. Dr. Gibson continues Dr. Jenny’s same traditions and beliefs - helping people achieve their optimum dental health and their own personal smile goals. A myriad of experience and training – Harvard, University of Maryland, and More Originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Dr. Gibson attended college at the business school at the University of New Hampshire. Then, moving to Cambridge, MA, Dr. Gibson completed his postbaccalaureate program at Harvard University. While in Boston, he completed research in Anesthesiology and in Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. This experience culminated in co-authorship of clinical research on pain management. After receiving acceptance to dental schools in Manhattan, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, Dr. Gibson selected the University of Maryland School of Dentistry - the first dental college in the world. Dr. Gibson completed an externship at Children’s Hospital Boston and was one of four residents selected for the highly competitive General Practice Residency at the San Diego VA Healthcare System. Dr. Gibson’s continued education (CE) has been with great mentors - the highly respected Spear Education, Stephen Phelan DDS, and the Academy of General Dentistry among others. Dr. Gibson’s CE focuses on 3D dental imaging, and the relationships between the esthetics of our teeth, our bite, muscle discomfort, and tooth wear. Helping the next generation – Teaching upcoming dentists Dr. Gibson works in their practice full-time, and is also a Career Mentor with his college, an Adjunct Faculty at the Roseman University College of Dental Medicine, and has a faculty appointment with UCSD
as a Voluntary Clinical Instructor, where he enjoys working with and educating pre-dental students. Serving his community – Giving back to society Being an active member of his community has always had an importance in Dr. Gibson’s life – he started a volunteer program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, initiated an access to care program for domestic violence survivors at his dental school, and has volunteered to practice dentistry at numerous locations including a mission trip to Honduras and in San Diego with UCSD Free Clinics. A true partnership in care – Caring for each person with the latest in technology Dr. Jenny’s solid dedication to on-going relationship-based, comprehensive dentistry has allowed Dr. Rens to earn her reputation for providing the very best in dental care with understanding and compassion and has gained her patients’ fierce loyalty.
FROM SHORES SUBDIVISION, A8 future homeowners association. “What guarantee do you have that these (proposed homes) are going to be built like they are?” he said, referencing the Montoro community’s disparities between the plans and what was actually constructed. “Montoro is over 50 homes and it was in the 1970s,” replied property owner James Riha. Benton added, “Every point you heard (from Merten) is outside the purview of this committee.” The response prompted a reminder from LJSPDO chair Dan Goese, “What Paul said is true, there are a lot of objections that can come up, the City does a lot of work that none of these (advisory) boards do ... but here’s a note to our board that CC&Rs, how long someone’s lived in La Jolla, if they own property (or not) … we don’t want to hear about it, because we can’t rule on it one way or another.” The development team reassured board members that the City and the State will perform several reviews to make sure the proposed project is what eventually goes in — including a Substantial Conformance Review that the individual homes will have to go through before breaking ground. “God only knows why this property is available to you at this time, it’s been there for a long time,” said LJSPDO board member Andrea Moser. “I believe you are sincere in trying to do a good project. It’s big, there’s no affordable housing, it is what it is, but I believe there’s integrity in what’s been proposed ... something, at some point, is going to be done with this property.” On those grounds, she made a motion to
Key Issue Summary ■ Property setbacks ■ Drainage to La Jolla Shores Drive ■ Disparities between plans and construction ■ Present and future trees ■ Installation of front fence ■ Street parking ■ Noise and light contamination ■ Construction staging
approve the project. Trustee Herbert Lazerow asked Moser, “Would you be willing to amend your motion to make that subject to the understanding that the City will clear the drainage problem and that plans for the individual houses will come back to this board?” After chair Goese clarified the amendment wasn’t possible and LJSPDO had to trust the City to do its job, the motion passed 4-1-0. After the vote, LJSPDO member Suzanne Wiseman said, “This is a much bigger project than I can ever recall. If we voted on the overall concept, it looks like it conforms to the PDO. I’m just concerned there are so many open (issues).” — The next review of the proposed subdivision is before the La Jolla Shores Permit Review Committee, 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 27 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. Find meeting agendas at bit.ly/LaJollaAgendas
“I’m very happy to have the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Gibson, who shares both my personal approach to each individual patient as well as a dedication to finding the best clinical solution for each patient with the latest proven technology. We share so much in how we enjoy both people and dentistry.” Dr. Gibson finds great pleasure in making each interaction compassionate and personalized. His continued education and passion is focused on helping each patient achieve their greatest level of dental health and function. “I just love being a general dentist. I get to meet new people every day, and I always learn something wonderful with every interaction, no matter their age or background. One of the best things about our practice with Dr. Jenny is the patient centric care that our team provides. We listen in a one-on-one environment to each patient to understand their questions, concerns, and the life they live outside of our office. We also understand our patients’ time is important and we efficiently work with them in many ways which includes completing same day crowns.” Outside of the office, you’ll probably run into Dr. Gibson exercising at Orange Theory, doing photography, attending the recent La Jolla Concours d’Elegance and other social events, or enjoying a great meal at one of our wonderful local restaurants with his wife.

We have a few who returned to service in the Marine Corps, but the majority transition out, because when they come to us it’s not just with a broken leg; we take the ones who are more seriously wounded and have multiple things

Because the Marine Corps operates around the world, it’s first in readiness. “Women in the Marine Corps boldly proclaim the title of Marine, 24 hours/7 days a week,” she said, “Our reputation as the ‘First to Fight,’ has rightfully earned us the title ‘Marines,’ a title that’s earned and not given.

Water discharges from a hole in the curb originating in a commercial building (6830 La Jolla Blvd.) have continued after the City of San Diego issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) May 5, neighbors Dana Nelsen and Monica Kelly reported to La Jolla Light. WindanSea residents started reporting gas-smelling water coming out of the hole late last year. “(The water) smelled really bad of diesel and sulfur, and it stained the concrete, so we knew it wasn’t clean water,” Kelly told the Light. The City investigated the claims and concluded the discharges were from a sump pump that is fed by roof drains and balcony drains (verified by a plumber hired by the management company). City staff started working with the building management to stop the illegal leak. A second NOV was issued May 18 after further reports of discharges onto the right-of-way. “To date, the property has been inspected three times and Code Enforcement staff are trying to meet with the property owner to go over what corrective measures, if any, have been taken so far,” City communications officer Anthony Santacroce wrote in an e-mail to the Light. “Code Enforcement staff is also updating the reporting party on their efforts.

La Jolla YMCA closes pool during baseball games The La Jolla YMCA at 8355 Cliffridge Ave. has what some are calling a questionable solution to protect swimming pool users from errant balls from the nearby Cliffridge Park baseball games. Earlier this summer, users reported an increase in baseballs flying over the fence and toward the pool. So the YMCA is closing select pool lanes while the field is in use, said Sarah Iantosca White, YMCA communications director. “Safety is our No. 1 priority at the La Jolla YMCA. While no one has been injured by a baseball in our pool, we are taking every caution to protect our swimmers from errant baseballs. We are vigilantly working with both the City of San Diego and the La Jolla Baseball League to develop a long term solution to this issue,” she said. “In the short term, we have been and will continue to close a portion of our recreational pool as necessary while people are hitting on the field, however, our lap pool, spa, splash pad all remain open.” lajolla.ymca.org

Mary Fitz Randolph ‘Randy’ Hobler 1922 - May 26, 2017
La JoLLa — Mary Fitz Randolph (Randy) Hobler, a resident of Princeton, NJ from 1945 until she moved in 2004 to Stonebridge in Skillman, NJ, died May 26, 2017 at the age of 94. She was co-author with Jeanne Silvester of “Princeton Trivia,” “on the Streets Where We Live,” and “The Present Day Club 100th anniversary History.” She also wrote “on the Streets Where We Live Revisited” in 2003, a history of the Professional Roster, and many other historical articles. Mrs. Hobler, born in 1922 and raised in Bronxville, NY, was the daughter of Howard and Mollie Fitz Randolph. She also lived in La Jolla, Ca, for ten years, where her father, a well-known genealogist, researched and wrote a book on early La Jolla history, “La Jolla: Year by Year.” Graduating from the Bishop’s School in 1940, and occidental College in 1944, she married Herbert W. Hobler in 1944, (also raised in Bronxville) when he was serving in the army air Corps. after the war, they settled in Princeton
and raised four children. While her children were in elementary school, Randy volunteered at the YMCa, and when her husband founded the Princeton radio station, Nassau Broadcasting Company (WHWH), she joined him there for 10 years as assistant treasurer of the board. In the 1970s, she pursued a master’s degree in counseling at Rider University, graduating in 1975. For 18 years Randy was a career counselor with the Professional Roster and was also one of the founders of Youth Employment Services in Princeton. over the years, she served on the boards of the Present Day Club,
the YMCa of Princeton, Youth Employment Service, the Professional Roster, and was a trustee and secretary of the board of the Princeton-Blairstown Center. Upon moving to Stonebridge in Skillman in 2004, she created and produced a monthly Stonebridge newsletter called, “Views from the Bridge.” Inspired by her love of history and genealogy, she also wrote histories of her maternal grandmother’s life, and of her youth in Bronxville and La Jolla. always interested in the arts, Randy took up painting in mid-life, and was well known for her landscape works and paintings of many Princeton historic homes. Her interest in architecture and art blended when she designed and built beautiful doll houses, building numerous models of famous Princeton homes complete with all the tiny household pieces. over the years, Randy and Herb traveled all over the world -70 countries in allon planes, barges, buses, boats, ships, railroads and zodiacs. one of their
favorite trips was a monthlong round-the-world trip with 65 others on a private jet. With her razor sharp intelligence, Randy was always able to complete the New York Times’ crossword puzzles; she was a lifetime lover of reading and books, chocolate and all things British. Those who know and love her will remember her for her dry wit, common sense, creativity, interest in others, and for being a loyal and devoted friend. Married for 73 years, besides her husband, Mrs. Hobler is survived by a son, Randolph of Dobbs Ferry, NY; three daughters, Deborah Hobler of Santa Barbara, Ca, Mary Hyson of Cheshire, CT and Nancy Hobler of Germantown, MD; six grandchildren and ten great grandsons.

Co-founder Judy Adams Halter added the line will include dinnerware, a vase, candleholder and perhaps a decorative piece. “We want to create jobs for challenged populations in San Diego and give them a job they can feel good about. And we want the pieces to be unique to San Diego, so we would like the artist to be from San Diego.” Semifinalists will be announced Sept. 1. The winner(s) will be announced on Sept. 15. Interested artists are asked to submit up to five digital images of their proposed design and caption information, for each image, including materials, processes used, firing temperatures, and dimensions, and an artist statement and resume.

C ro s s C o u n t r y
’77 Volkswagen V van travels from California to Chicago ... and back Editor’s Noote: In response to an invitation to classic car ow wners to share their vehicle love stories, more th than a dozen d car buffs b ff contacted t t d La L Jolla Light to be interviewed about their prize possessions. In this new series, we present their delightful roadster experiences.
BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON he 1977 cherry red Volkswagen van now kept in the Lower Hermosa area of La Jolla has come a long way in its lifetime. In the last 20 years alone, the van has been in Hillcrest, Berkeley, Portland and Chicago before coming to La Jolla — all with its owner, psychiatry professor and vice-chair for basic research at UC San Diego, Abraham Palmer.
T
Palmer first came to own the van, which doesn’t have a name, in 1997 when he was living in Hillcrest working on his Ph.D. At the time, he said, the van was “completely destroyed” and he was not in the market
for a vehicle. “I already had three motorcycles and a car, so I did nott need d another th one. But B t the th van was parked in my neighborhood with a sign inside that read ‘$850 OBO, needs work.’ I would walk past that van every day and after two months, I realized it wasn’t being sold and wasn’t moving. So I called the number and asked what the current best offer was. The owner said her brother wanted to sell it, or that the junkyard would give her $200 for the parts. I offered her the $200 and she took it,” he said. Among the “work” needed, the engine had to be replaced. But Palmer was up to the task. “I like working on engines and I had rebuilt lawnmower engines, but I had never rebuilt a
VW engine,” he said. “But they t were designed to be easily taken out and light enough h that th t one person could put it on the counter. It was designed so that every 100,000 miles, you would have to take out the engine and rebuild it. That’s what people would do. All the parts are cheap and it’s easy work to do. So I got all the books, and piece by piece, took it apart and put it back together.” Soon after, Palmer moved to Portland, Oregon and drove the van north. A few years later, when an educational opportunity presented itself in New York, he and wife, Stephanie Dulawa, headed east, but left the van behind. “New York was not the place for SEE ONE FOR THE ROAD, B14

The Case for Letting Yourself Go
W
La Jolla Cultural Partners
hen my young granddaughter was visiting one weekend, she queried, “Mormor, why do you always wear the same thing?” I turned to my husband, Olof. “I think I’ve just been fashion-shamed by a 5-year-old.” As I explained to her it only looks like the same thing. I actually have eight pairs of those black slacks and at least as many of the white tops the combination of which make me look like a server at a trendy trattoria. I do actually have slacks in other hues, but it is my personal opinion is that black best minimizes years of food felonies. In my defense, I do possess a wide selection of colorful sweaters and shirts. Sometimes I even wear them. Both sons cheerfully insist that Olof and I dress like bag persons. And we assure them that this is intentional. I think this comes under the heading of “letting oneself go,” a philosophy we think is underrated. Of course, we’re both retired so we can dress any way we want. In college, I was seriously into fashion, owning at least 40 pairs of shoes, the blue Pappagallos with the green trim, the green Pappagallos with the blue trim. I was also really slender. But in 1983, the year I was divorced, two major
factors impacted my sartorial life. I packed on 30 pounds on the post-divorce Mrs. Fields Cookie and Chardonnay Acute-Depression Diet©. I was also suddenly poor. In my post-divorce working years, I was wearing makeup and skirts so I was probably in the top one percent sartorially in my department. That’s because I worked in an uber-casual male-centric office where if a guy was wearing shoes and long pants, somebody would call security. Or think he was a Dell salesman. This environment was ideal for the retail-challenged. One might think that it’s just since we retired that we’ve let ourselves go. But we told the travel agent who was booking our honeymoon in 1995 that she could immediately eliminate any place where Olof was required to wear a jacket at dinner. We’ve just been achieving a higher level of goneness since retirement. Frankly, I might try a little harder if the clothes I could actually try on in a store were a little easier to acquire. Finding apparel at any price in my size in most shopping centers is an exercise in futility. I would chat it up with the personal shopper at Nordstrom who would inform me that they usually only order one size 16 in any
particular style and those are so in demand that she immediately pulls them for her regular customers. Now, I’m not in retail, but if I had a size that was instantly selling out, I’d order, well, more. But I’d be missing the point. Once you get past a certain size, department stores don’t want you waddling around in there among the osteoporotic svelte. Chunker departments, where they even exist, are invariably hidden in a corner of the third floor, which you can spot from 50 yards: racks of nasty brown, navy and black polyester slacks, and skirts with hideous floral prints in colors not found in nature. We chunkies just HATE wearing this stuff — a point that I routinely note in the feedback box at Nordstrom Oinker. (It’s actually Nordstrom Encore, but if you say it fast it comes out sounding like Oinker, which, in fact, I’m convinced is the subliminal meaning in that choice of word. What, after all, does “encore” have to do with fat people?) It quickly became apparent that for any reasonable selection, I would be relegated to catalogs from the Talbots Butterball Collection or Lands’ End-Porcine. Logging on to Lands’ End in search of attire for the adiposely-amplified, I was happy to discover a feature called Virtual Model. You type in your assorted measurements, hair color, age, and voila! there is a virtual you standing there in your undies ready to try on clothes. You can fine-tune the virtual you to a certain extent, but I did notice that “modify My Model” did NOT include such features as “add cellulite” or “increase sag.” In fact, the My Model of me with my weight and measurements wasn’t half bad —
LIGHT FILE
Olof and I are both retired so we can dress any way we want. because of course, I had the flabless thighs of an Olympic speed skater. Given this, I enjoyed trying on bikinis and even making myself different races. Alas, clothes that looked great on the virtual me rarely looked good on the real me. Fortunately, I know exactly what size black slacks and white tops fit me on Lands’ End. And hence, my patented orphan look. In recent years we’ve only dressed up for weddings, funerals or our office Christmas parties. And now since we’re both retired, we don’t even have those. Hopefully, no one will die any time soon. We’d have nothing to wear. — Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in La Jolla Light, inga47@san.rr.com

New Dances, New Music
Bi-coastal collaboration coming to Lyceum Theatre BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Here’s one way to chase away June gloom — an exciting program of dance and live music that will start off the month with a burst of joyful creativity. It’s a three-way collaboration, joining the forces of Malashock Dance, Art of Élan, and the New York-based NOW Ensemble, a dynamic group dedicated to making chamber music for the 21st century, which is currently Art of Élan’s ensemble-in-residence. They’ll banish your gray-weather blues with “Minor Fall/Major Lift,” a line you may recognize from Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” June 1-3, at the Lyceum Theatre. If you’re a dance aficionado, you’re surely familiar with the work of award-winning choreographer John Malashock (a La Jolla High alumnus) and his almost 30-year-old company. They love partnering and pushing artistic boundaries, which made them a great match for Art of Élan in their previous collaboration at La Jolla Playhouse in 2014. Art of Élan, now in its 10th season, is devoted to turning audiences on to new kinds of music they’ve never heard before. This time, they’re showcasing
Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah,’ first verse I’ve heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah.
COURTESY
Justin Viernes, Andrea Rehm and Lara Segura are three of the 10 Malashock dancers who will be onstage in ‘Minor Fall/Major Lift,’ June 1-3, at the Lyceum Theatre. works by five contemporary composers, including a newly-commissioned score by NOW’s composer-in-residence, Judd Greenstein. Art of Élan co-founder, executive director and violinist Kate Hatmaker will be sitting in onstage as “Guest Musician” and the NOW Ensemble — flute, clarinet, electric
guitar, double bass and piano — will provide the live soundtrack for Malashock’s dancers. The theme of the program is Change, and Greenstein’s commissioned piece, “The Jewish Pope,” was inspired by a (probably apocryphal) life of changes. It’s the tale of a young Jewish boy, taken
from his family and raised as a Catholic, who rises to the highest position in the Church but ultimately decides to return to his own people. “When Judd and I started talking about creating a new piece, we decided we wanted to delve into our Jewish backgrounds in some way,” Malashock said. “Judd found this folk legend, and his music has an ethnic feel to it, and kind of travels the journey from ghetto to Rome. I’m using the characters and the story in my choreography.” “The Jewish Pope” is the final piece in the program, and Greenstein also composed the opener. “It’s called ‘Change,’ and it’s completely different — so exuberant, with such a wonderful sense of build and personality,”
Malashock said. “In fact, I’m almost shocked at how different all the pieces feel from each other, though each one is fresh and incredibly appealing. It’s great for me as a choreographer to have that much of a range.” The program’s title isn’t specifically a homage to Leonard Cohen, Malashock noted. “I just thought ‘Minor Fall, Major Lift’ is a reference to both music and dance and has a nice poetic feel.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Minor Fall/Major Lift,” 8 p.m. June 1 and 2; 4 and 8:45 p.m. June 3 at Lyceum Theater, Horton Plaza.

Sonia Hamburger
July 31, 1924 - February 8, 2017 LA JOLLA — Sonia Hamburger, 92, passed away from heart failure in San Diego, CA. She was born in Vienna, Austria, to Emma Gross and David Von Dishbach. Sonia’s saga began as the daughter of an indomitable mother who carried Sonia and her sister Alexandra through a chaotic Europe to refuge in Brooklyn, NY in the early 1930’s. Sonia and Robert met immediately prior to his distinguished service as a pilot in the Pacific theater. In his absence, Sonia held the family together refusing to accept an official notice that he may be missing in action. This faith remained for all 72 years of their marriage, enduring tragedy and
triumph. After his military service, Bob entered Yale Medical School, then early pediatric practice and a Yale professorship. He was asked to help establish the UCSD Medical School in the early 60’s. The family began a new life in La Jolla and became an integral
part of the community for over 60 years. Sonia returned to her own education becoming one of the earliest medical anthropologist and established the first menopause hotline, providing resources for women undergoing fundamental biological changes that society largely ignored. From her cherished Tertulia sisters, to close friends and relatives, travels around the world and the Robert & Sonia Hamburger Family Chamber Music Series at UCSD, the family enjoyed life to the fullest. Sonia was predeceased by her husband, Robert N. Hamburger, MD; and beloved daughters, Hilary, Debre and
Lisa. She is survived by granddaughter, Toya Holiday; greatgranddaughters, Saylor, Jasper and Mercy; niece, Stephanie Hanks; cousins, Arlene “Florence” Falk and Richard Gross; sister-in-law, Evelyn Anderson; sonin-law, Anthony Bila; and grandson-in-law, Brandy Holiday. Sonia possessed a natural elegance and fiery temper, intrepid honesty and laser like intelligence. Returned now to her lifelong companion. The love remains.

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%.

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “The Spitfire Grill,” a down-home musical now in previews at North Coast Repertory Theatre, opened off-Broadway in 2001, and has been produced worldwide ever since. Called “soul-satisfying” by The New York Times, it’s about a young woman just released from prison who hopes to make a new life for herself in a small town far away from her sad, Southern roots. She manages to find a job as a waitress in a café called — you guessed it — The Spitfire Grill, and a room in the home of its crusty-but-kind-hearted owner. Step by step, she starts out on her rocky road to redemption. The musical was based on a 1996 film featuring Ellen Burstyn as the café owner, Marcia Gay Harden as a downtrodden young wife and mother, and the less-famous Alison Elliott as the unlucky but plucky ex-con. It won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and several years later, caught the attention of James Valcq and Fred Alley, two writers who were old high school music camp pals. They had just done a show at the American Folklore Theatre in Wisconsin, where lyricist/librettist Alley was co-founder and artist-in-residence, and thought they could turn the film into a great, rootsy musical play. The show they came up with, replete with catchy, country-style tunes by New York-based composer/musician/former boy soprano Valcq, changed the locale from Maine to Wisconsin, combined two male characters into one, and gave the script a more upbeat ending. After a New Jersey production in 2000, where they were mentored by renowned playwright/director Arthur Laurents, New York’s Playwrights Horizons chose it to kick off their 2001 season. Then, a week before the pre-show workshop, Alley died of a heart attack during a run near his Wisconsin home. He was only

38, and his untimely ending sounds sadly reminiscent of Jonathan Larson, creator of the mega-hit musical “Rent,” who died of a heart attack at 35 the night before his off-Broadway opening. But, as with “Rent,” “The Spitfire Grill” goes on. At NCRT, it’s helmed by Jeffrey Moss, an award-winning director whose credits include developing new musicals and staging tours of Broadway hit shows. In 2014, he came to NCRT to direct “Rothschild & Sons,” which went on to New York and is now headed for London. Last year, artistic director David Ellenstein invited him back and gave him a copy of “The Spitfire Grill” to consider. “I’d heard of the show, but never seen it,” Moss said. “It was a new discovery for me, a kind of hidden treasure. I’m all about putting humanity on the stage, and this one does it in a very lyrical and sweet way.” Moss compares “Spitfire” to classic musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein. “There are tunes, real tunes, and the songs are compelling,” he said. “They tell the story, expose the hearts of the characters, and reach out and connect with the audience. I don’t call this a play with music, I call it a folk opera; it has strong, big emotions that are captured in the songs, and there’s a sense of humor too. And NCRT is such an intimate theater, a good match for the show.” The cast is terrific, Moss added, and even in rehearsal, the play is moving. There’s live music, too, by a trio of local musicians, playing guitar, mandolin, violin and cello. As one of the songs goes: “Something’s cooking at the Spitfire Grill.” See for yourself, through June 25, at NCRT. ■ IF YOU GO: “The Spitfire Grill” is on stage through June 25 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive Solana Beach.

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus season finale all about love Conductor David Chase to conclude 44-year tenure FROM LJS&C REPORTS David Chase will conduct the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) in two performances of its season finale (which will also mark the end of his 44-year tenure as Choral Director) June 10-11 in Mandeville Auditorium at UC San Diego. Chase’s sendoff will be a musical program inspired by love in its many faces: Hector Berlioz’s “Overture to Beatrice and Benedict,” Arnold Schoenberg’s “Verklärte Nacht” and Samuel Barber’s “The Lovers.” The guest artist will be baritone Gregorio Gonzalez. “Love and loving appear often in song and in opera, but seldom in the repertory for chorus and orchestra,” Chase said. “In my last concert with the musicians of the LJS&C, we will explore that psychological space — Love: romantic, sensual and erotic — with works by Barber the ‘American Romantic’, Schoenberg, a latter-day Wagnerian in his youth, and a bit of Berlioz, the exuberant romantic.” In 1927, Berlioz attended a performance of Hamlet in Paris. He came out of the theater a changed man, smitten with leading lady Harriett Smithson, later to become his wife, and moved by the language and power of Shakespeare’s drama. The marriage proved an unhappy union, but his infatuation with Shakespeare lasted a lifetime and led Berlioz to compose a number of works inspired by

The last was Beatrice and Benedict, “an opéra comique” in two acts, based loosely on Shakespeare’s “Much Ado about Nothing.” It was commissioned for the opening of a new theater in Baden-Baden, Germany and premiered in 1862. The opera is filled with twisted plots of love tricks, schemes and misunderstandings between lovers and enemies. The overture is the sparkling introduction that sets the stage.

dramatic, evolves through uncertain tonalities, and concludes on a bright major chord. Originally composed in 1899 as a string sextet, Schoenberg later arranged Verklärte Nacht for string orchestra. At this concert, the music heard is Schoenberg’s final version for string orchestra (1943). “The Lovers” (1971) is scored for baritone soloist (Gonzalez), chorus and large orchestra. Barber had long wanted to set the work of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, and a commission from Girard Bank in Philadelphia provided the impetus. Incorporating nine poems from Neruda’s “Twenty Poems of Love and a Song of Despair,” Barber arranged them in a way that tells the story of a failed love affair. The music opens with an orchestral Prelude that flows without pause into nine vocal movements. Some are for full chorus, one is for men alone, one for women alone, and several are for baritone alone. It is Barber at his best. The non-profit LJS&C is San Diego’s oldest and largest community orchestra and chorus. Its 110-person orchestra and 130-person chorus perform groundbreaking orchestral and choral music along with traditional favorites from the classical repertoire. ■ IF YOU GO: The concerts are set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 10 and 2 p.m. Sunday, June 11 in Mandeville Auditorium at UCSD.

Cauliflower is the New Kale
L
ow temps and other quirky weather patterns in California’s central valley — the agricultural nucleus of the West Coast — has caused cauliflower to become caviar costly. But this highbrow crucifer with an antioxidant oomph and starchy, potato-like texture is well worth the sticker shock. Here’s why. Cauliflower Power: A member of the Brassicaceae family with noble cousins (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, collard greens, turnips and watercress), the giant cauliflower head with its tightly packed florets is high fiber, low cal and fat free — so long as you don’t pile on the butter and cheese. Its “curd” also has a surprisingly hearty dose of Vitamin C to ratchet up the immune system. There’s much more. Having a rich store of omega-3 fatty acids, this mighty crufier is an anti-inflammatory warrior to alleviate creaky, achy arthritic joints. Abundant antioxidants kick free radicals to the curb, lower the risk for assorted cancers (especially breast and bladder) and cardiovascular disease, and put the skids on physical signs of aging. A healthy helping of B9s (folate) makes cauliflower an ideal pregnancy food for the developing fetus.
COURTESY
The technicolor varieties of cauliflower are even more healthy than the albino ones. Finally, its load of calcium, phosphorous and selenium boosts bone strength, while other elements and enzymes detoxify the liver. One word of cauliflower caution: For those with thyroid problems, eat it in moderation as the crucifer tinkers with the absorption of iodine, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the gland. In Technicolor: Pedestrian-hued white cauliflower can be swapped out for its show-stopping, jewel-toned siblings — whether vibrant purple, soft coral or lime green. The Technicolor varieties are even

healthier than the albino ones, containing an extra dose of antioxidant phytonutrients. The purple heads are packed with anthocyanins, the same pigments in red wine and cabbage with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-cancer properties, while the orange-tinted curd is the result of a genetic mutation that enables the florets to retain beta carotene, endowing this variety with Vitamin A for skin and eye health. The green cauliflower is actually a hybrid cross of cauliflower and broccoli, known as broccoflower. These pigments not only dial up the body’s defenses, and please the eyes, but also awaken the palate with rich, nutty nuances. Pick a Winner: When choosing cauliflower make sure it is firm with a good heft. Examine the florets for soft or dark spots, blemishes or mold, and discard these heads. The stem should have a satiny gloss, while the leaves a fresh and bright green appearance. Don’t rinse cauliflower until ready to use, and store for several days in the coolest part of the refrigerator like the crisper drawer. Use Wisely: The versatile crucifer can be enjoyed raw, cooked or pickled as an appetizer or snack, side dish, soup, salad, relish, or incorporated into a main dish meal. The tough green stalk and leaves can also be used to make soup stock. Cauliflower pairs well with garlic, assorted cheeses, nuts and raisins, along with the pungent spices of India and the Middle East, particularly turmeric, cumin, cayenne, cardamom, ginger, mustard seed, sumac and saffron. A trio of purple, green and orange or white florets makes striking eye candy on a crudité
Garlic & Parm Roasted Cauliflower ■ Ingredients: 1 head of cauliflower; 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil; 2 large garlic cloves, minced; juice from one lemon; 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese; paprika ■ Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Garden Club gives to fellow green thumbs at scholarship lunch BY ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON he La Jolla Garden Club held its annual scholarship luncheon May 23 at La Jolla Country Club to dole out financial support to budding horticulturalists and close-out its year. Each May, the Club’s “Gardener’s Market” has plants and treats for sale the Saturday before Mother’s Day to raise money for the scholarship program. This year’s three recipients are: Southwestern College landscape and nursery technology student La’toya Jackson, whose interests are floral and landscape design; Cuyamaca College ornamental horticulture student Michelle Conway, who learned to garden from her mother, who continues to garden at age 86; and Mira Costa College horticultural student Olivia Miethke, who wants to build a career that allows her to preserve natural open spaces in urban environments. The luncheon also served as a farewell to outgoing Club officers (who were gifted with a pair of gardening gloves) and the installation of new officers. California Garden Clubs parliamentarian Jane McKee
T
did the honors. “Do you ever think about your hands?” she asked the Club officers. “Most of us may not stop to appreciate them. Without our hands, we could not greet a stranger with a friendly handshake or write a note.” As she presented each new officer with a pair of gardening gloves, she had hand puns for each — the corresponding secretary may require “hand-written” notes, the treasurer must avoid “sticky fingers,” and recording secretaries must be “even handed” in chronicling meeting activities. The new officers are: president Mary Mitchell, first vice-president Patti Garretson, co-second vice-presidents Pam Filley and Caroline Meade, recording secretary Karen Morse, corresponding secretary Claudia Chan-Shaffer and treasurer Kathy Easter. — La Jolla Garden Club meets 1 p.m. third Tuesdays, September-April at the La Jolla Womans Club, 7791 Draper Ave. Guests are welcome to attend and hear the speakers’ presentations. Dues are $35 per year (plus an encouraged $25 tax-deductible donation for the scholarship fund). lajollagardenclub.org

FROM ONE FOR THE ROAD, B1 a large van, so I left it with my brother in Berkeley. Even though he’s a bicycling anti-vehicle guy, he loves this car,” Palmer said. When a job became available in Chicago, the family moved once again. This time, they were ready for the van to come with them. Palmer flew to Berkeley and drove the van to the Windy City. “It was a real rarity because nobody can have a VW van in Chicago because they salt the roads in the winter and the vans just rust out. And while older people remember them and would stop and tell me stories about the van they had, young people had no idea what it was,” he said. “Kids thought it was an ice cream truck. They had never seen one and didn’t have a place in their mind or context for something like this. I felt like I was doing a huge public service to the world by having the VW van in the middle of Chicago.” During the time the Palmers lived in Chicago, daughter Ariela and son Samuel were born, and the van continued to be an attraction for neighborhood children, including hosting “pancake parties,” where Palmer would cook flapjacks in the van’s “kitchen” and children would eat them at the fold-down table. In 2015, the Palmer family moved to La Jolla, but the Chicago weather had caused wear-and-tear on the car, and it needed a new coat of paint. So the van was worked on while the family moved, and Palmer returned to Chicago to pick up the van a few months after they settled in The Jewel. “Ariela and I flew to Chicago and drove the van back along Route 66. There were states where children could sit up front, and Ariela loved that,” Palmer said. Ariela chimed in, “I loved driving through the rainstorms!” But with the different terrain along the way, Palmer was reminded of the challenges that come with having an older Volkswagen. “There are the practicality questions because this van tops 45 miles per hour on mountain roads and has no air-conditioning or heating. But we got lucky with the weather (on our drive to La Jolla), it wasn’t too
Ariela and Abraham Palmer in the back on their van, which has a fold-down table hot or cold. Plus, on any given trip, there’s always a possibility that it might not make it, but we made it,” Palmer said. “To keep it going, if I have a free hour, I’ll do a little bit of work on it. If you don’t like working on something like this, you shouldn’t have something like this because it would be a money pit to have someone do everything. You have to enjoy it.” But now that it’s here and running, the van is used as a camping vehicle, much to Ariela’s delight. “We went
ASHLEY MACKIN-SOLOMON
camping and it rained so everyone had wet tents, but we slept in the van, it has a bed!” she said. In addition to his daughter’s memories, Palmer said everyone has a VW van story. “Everyone of a certain age has some memory, so wherever you go, people tell you stories about the role the VW van played in their life. If you stand back and let them talk, you hear some amazing things. And these are people you might not otherwise meet or strike up a conversation with,” he said. “It’s a happy thing, this van.”

Get help covering day camp costs Parents should inquire into whether the camp participates in income-eligible subsidy programs, for instance through Title XX. For day camps: ■ A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account allows parents to be reimbursed on a pre-tax basis for child care or adult dependent care expenses for qualified dependents that are necessary to allow parents to work, look for work, or to attend school full time. Visit the FSA Feds Web site for more information. ■ In certain circumstances, day care expenses, including transportation by a care provider, may be considered dependent care services and paid with pre-tax dollars. Visit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for more information.

G3 Kids: Summer camp and beyond School is out, and that means summer camp is in session. The fantastic staff at G3Kids prepared for this season all year long, combining educational fun, confidence building gymnastics, and creating activities that take advantage of the best that San Diego has to offer. G3Kids, located on Garnet Avenue, about 2 blocks from Pacific Beach, takes full advantage of being close to the ocean. Not only will kiddos of all ages enjoy beach-filled fun, but G3Kids also takes a special interest in teaching kids about the ocean. Take for example the first week (June 5-9) themed Under the Sea Adventure, their staff of California Credentialed Teachers will take part in educating youngsters about marine life and ocean safety. “It truly takes a village to raise a child,” says Nicole Britvar, who founded G3Kids with her husband Paul. “G3Kids hopes to be the playground in that village.” She lives like she preaches, as a mother of three in La Jolla, G3Kids is built around her dream of bringing her passion for gymnastics together with an opportunity to grow her children’s developing minds. “At a very young age, children learn a lot through kinesthetic development and spatial and body awareness, and these are things that just aren’t taught in the classroom,” Britvar adds. In other words, G3Kids is attempting to connect children’s minds with their bodies. With this powerful connection comes an
ability to learn their strengths, overcome difficulties, power over-above-through-and-beyond obstacles and challenges - not to mention have some good old-fashioned fun while doing so. Thirteen weeks of summer camp fun is about to kickoff, and each week brings a different theme to connect your child’s expanding mind with their growing body. Whether it’s learning about events in the Olympic Games during G3 Olympics (July 17-21), or learning about wildlife in Zoo and Jungle Exploration Week (Aug. 21-25) there’s something for everyone! And every kiddo gets the benefit of lunch and snacks each day, handpicked by G3Kids’ certified nutritionists (quite yummy too!). They will also thrive among the child safety trained staff and coaches who are experts in child care. Don’t take their word for it, check out their website at www.g3kids.com for a complete listing of all summer camp themes and schedules. Partial and full day options are available, but space is limited so call today at (858) 333-9009. If you’re still not convinced, come see for yourself at an Open Gym event to celebrate G3Kids’ One Year Anniversary, 9 a.m. to noon, Sunday, June 11. It’s free for all ages, and kids who attend will place their handprint on the gym walls to leave their mark on G3Kids for many years to come.

T
he goal of the La Jolla High School Health Expo, held 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, May 25 on the main campus quad, was to encourage students to make their health a lifestyle priority. The featured 35 booths were staffed by local businesses with wellness information, resources and support for incorporating healthy habits into daily life. The NCHS (mental health club), Principal Chuck Podhorsky’s Health & Wellness Committee, the Parent Teacher Student Association and Associated Student Body all worked together to make the event happen. — Neda Mesri

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13.
The San Diego Historical Resources Board is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you are interested in restoring or preserving a historic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a significant alteration, or demolition, to a
building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties. Restoring a house means returning the appearance of both the exterior and interior of the structure to the time period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally have
indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood floor in hard-to-find pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home.

Art Prize winners’ work on view at Athenaeum LET’S REVIEW BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT On May 12, the opening night of San Diego Visual Arts Network’s (SDVAN) Art Prize event, art-lovers came to the Athenaeum in La Jolla to see the work of the 2016 winners: Irma Sofia Poeter, a self-taught, Mexican-American artist who has lived on both sides of the border; Shinpei Takeda, a Japanese artist equally at home in Tijuana, San Diego, and Düsseldorf; Richard Keely, a sculptor who uses found objects and teaches at SDSU; and William Feeney, a maker of narrative sculptures. This year’s exhibition turned out to be more modest than expected.
Poeter’s bright-colored “Undercurrents of Possibility,” painted fabric overlaid with textiles, sequins, lace and embroidery, was the most notable piece on view. Talking about her process, she said she first painted a large piece of fabric red, then folded it in half, so that when opened, left a kind of Rorschach pattern, which she covered with animal figures. “The idea behind this is that we all see something different, and the piece expresses the individuality of everyone,” she said. “The animals represent different traits of human beings, and I combine very expensive and very cheap fabrics to create something that unifies and creates beauty.” Feeney, who had a number of sculptures on display, explained his prickly, female-breasted, hanging-in-midair whale: “I

was trying to make a piece about women seeking powerful positions in 2016, an election year,” he said. “It’s a sperm whale, like Moby Dick, but a female, and those are harpoons in her back, signs of that obsession to destroy.” “No matter how many harpoons are stuck in her, she keeps on moving,” said Patricia Frischer, coordinator of SDVAN. “Like Moby Dick,” Feeney added. “You’re not sure he dies at the end; he can’t really be conquered. It’s that kind of perseverance.” The two so-called “emerging artists” were less entertaining. Takeda, this year’s most ubiquitous artist, was not at his best here, though his impressive installations have made him the toast of San Diego and beyond. Hopefully, he’ll rise to his full capacities in September,
