Adaptive Signal cameras installed on La Jolla Parkway to ease traffic flow BY ASHLEY MACKIN o lessen traffic congestion on La Jolla Parkway (hallelujah!), a program for “adaptive signal timing” is being rolled out, and is expected to be fully operational in the next few weeks. Using cameras mounted on the mast arms over the intersections of La Jolla Parkway at Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla Parkway at La Jolla Shores Drive, and Torrey Pines Road at
T
Ardath Lane, adaptive signal timing adjusts green light duration based on real-time increases and decreases in traffic. In its pilot effort in Mira Mesa, the system showed an 18-24 percent decrease in delays, depending on the time of day. “It’s an automatic system that will continuously monitor the traffic and change its (green light) time accordingly to SEE TRAFFIC, A6

ADA ramps possible for Marine Street, Horseshoe beach access BY ASHLEY MACKIN Before progress can be made on re-instating the stairs between 100-202 Coast Boulevard that lead to the beach known as The Horseshoe, the city must evaluate the possibility of an ADA-access ramp at that location. And that’s not the only beach access being considered for such a ramp. As announced at the May 23 La
Jolla Parks & Beaches (LJP&B) meeting, Marine Street Beach is also being considered for an ADA access ramp to the beach. During the non-agenda public comment part of the meeting, resident Cynthia Chasan said the week prior, she spotted city engineers at the foot of Marine Street, measuring for an ADA access ramp.
“They said they would like to put in a zigzag ramp down to the beach,” she said. “I explained to them the sand level fluctuates during the winter by about four feet, so they’d have to engineer that project very well because during some of the year the sand would be above the end of the ramp and some of the year it would be below.” She added the area would not
likely be appealing to those with disabilities because the shore-break is aggressive, the area does not have full-time lifeguards and there are not beach-friendly wheelchairs such as those available in La Jolla Shores, which is 2.9 miles away. Engineers would also have to figure on extensive work on the street to accommodate the ramp. SEE RAMPS, A24

Green sea turtles return to La Jolla waters BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN A green sea turtle was spotted south of La Jolla Shores, Tuesday, May 24, feeding in the reef between The Shores and The Cove. They love to swim in warm and shallow waters, which makes La Jolla Shores a perfect place for them. Curious to learn more about them, La Jolla Light contacted Ryan Schaeffer, lead aquarist for the only sea turtle in residence at Birch Aquarium at Scripps. He explained that green sea turtles swim the coasts of La Jolla from June to September. “You will normally find them basking kind of higher up in the water where they can get some good sunshine. There is an eelgrass bed out there where they congregate and munch on the eelgrass,” he said. Green sea turtles are mostly herbivores, although juveniles sometimes eat invertebrates like crabs, jellyfish or sponges. They are also, Schaeffer said, “opportunistic eaters.” “If a green sea turtle happens to swim by a dead fish, it will take advantage of that and get a little extra nutrients out of that one,” he said. Weighing up to 700 pounds, green turtles are among the largest sea turtles in the world. They can grow as long as 5 feet. The one spotted last week was 2-3 feet long. Schaeffer said it was probably a juvenile, about 15 years old. These turtles can live to age 100. “If you see one, stay about 5 feet away from it,” Schaeffer explained, “because the
Green sea turtle turtle doesn’t know if you are a predator or not. The best thing to do is observe and not startle the animal. They are really fun to watch; they are really friendly as long as you’re not harassing them or getting on their nerves.” The length of time in La Jolla waters

varies with each turtle. “They will stay here for a few days — especially if they find something good to munch on. However, longer stays up to weeks have been reported to the Birch Aquarium staff,” Schaeffer said. You can tell green sea turtles from other species because of their brown or olive shell,
which is very smooth around the edges, and for their greenish skin color. Unlike their land relative, the tortoise, sea turtles are fast swimmers that can travel thousands of miles in their migrations. They use currents in their journeys, but scientists have yet to learn how sea turtles navigate the oceans. Some of the local green sea turtles are travelers passing by, and others could be part of a larger population (around 60 individuals) that live in the San Diego South Bay, said Schaeffer. The presence of a power plant in the area heats up the water and maintains the population year-round, making it the only place on the West Coast where they are known to congregate. Green turtles are listed as an endangered species. Although they thrive in the South Bay, several have been killed in boat strikes, one of the many threats humans pose to this animal. Accidental catches in commercial fisheries, destruction of their habitat or entanglement in marine debris, also pose serious dangers. Green turtles are commonly hunted for their meat and their eggs. This species has not been known to breed in La Jolla or anywhere else in San Diego. Their mating is one of the most appreciated worldwide. They lay eggs on the beach and go back to the ocean. Two months later, the eggs hatch and the newborn turtles struggle to make their way to the ocean through predators like crabs and gulls. — Have you seen any unusual marine life in La Jolla?

Vikings girls track & field qualifies for state SPRING SPORTS WRAP BY ASHLEY MACKIN Despite not having a track to call their own due to construction of a new athletic field, La Jolla High School’s boys and girls track & field teams did very well this season, according to Coach Paul Byrne. With the girls edging out the boys, several runners qualified for state championships to be held later this month in Clovis. “We had 13 marks or times break into the La Jolla High’s all-time records (this season), four of which are all time freshman or sophomore records,” Byrne said, via e-mail. “In addition to these athletes just breaking records at La Jolla High School, we have athletes that are top in the county.” Shedding light on the Roberson sisters, he said, “Junior Sakura and freshman Sierra Roberson are running with the some of the top times in the state in the 800 meters. The two sisters, along with older sister and senior Satori Roberson and sophomore Petra Eaton, make up our girl’s 4 x 400 meters relay team that has run the fastest time in the county all season.” Of the 75 athletes on the roster this season, 25 athletes qualified (some in multiple events) in this year’s CIF preliminaries in late May. Leading up to the CIF Championships, Sakura Roberson placed first in Division II, third overall and qualified for the state meet. Sierra Roberson placed second in Division II, fourth overall, but just missed qualifying for state. As a 4 x 400

La Jolla students take top honors in city essay contest BY ASHLEY MACKIN Challenged to answer the question “If all the books in the world were about to disappear, I would save …” approximately 2,000 students citywide entered this year’s San Diego Public Library Student Essay Contest. And La Jolla’s Riford Library had two winners. La Jolla High sophomore William Dorst won “Best Overall Essay” and La Jolla Elementary fourth-grader Ellie Levine won the grand prize in the elementary school category. William chose “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak for his essay, while Ellie chose “Pollyanna” by Eleanor H. Porter. The grand prize ceremony was held in mid-May at Balboa Park. Each semi-finalist received $20, and the 14 Grand Prize winners (selected from the 50 top entries this year) each received a computer from Computers 2 SD Kids, a medal and a certificate. As winner of the Best Overall essay, William also won $500. “I was really surprised to win the whole thing,” he said. “At the award ceremony, I heard everyone read their essays and they were all really good.” As to why he chose “The Book Thief,” he explained, “I love the book itself, it’s about a young girl in Nazi Germany but it’s nothing out of the ordinary, it’s grounded in reality. It’s a story about ordinary people in a strange time. It has a message about the importance of

being an individual … the main character has no inhibition about standing up to a Nazi soldier and telling him exactly what she thinks.” Connecting to the essay theme of saving books, William said the story mentions book burnings that took place during the Nazi occupation, and the main character steals books that the Nazis plan to destroy in an effort to preserve them. “It seemed appropriate for me to ‘save’ this book given that the story addresses that same idea,” he said. For 10-year-old Ellie, she said she chose “Pollyanna” for her essay because of its positive message. “There are a lot
of bad things going on in Pollyanna’s life … but she’s always optimistic and she chooses to be happy. You have to choose happiness. I really like that message,” she said. In the story, orphan Pollyanna is sent to live with her unfriendly aunt in a new town, where she introduces “The Glad Game” – finding something to be happy about in every situation — to the community. The contest is organized around a city branch library and its feeder schools. Students submit the essays to their library, and that branch’s “Friends” group selects one essay at each grade level (4, 8 and 10) to go forward for consideration as a Grand
Prize winner, said contest founder Wendy Gay. “Semifinalists are chosen at the branches. From these semifinalists, the Grand Prize winners are chosen by a panel of professional writers, English teachers and librarians,” she said. The themes change each year, and those who would like to enter next year’s contest can look for entry forms and contest rules in late September/early October, which are sent to all city libraries and schools. Essays are due in mid-December. “Our goal is to encourage students and their parents to think about and use their Public Library. The process is also intended to foster cooperation among all the libraries in the city, and local schools,” Gay said. “In the process, we hope to strengthen reading and writing skills in San Diego students!”

The front yard art project by Nasser Pitraseh that was ruled a structure not sculpture by the city, and directed to be removed, under penalty of daily fines.
Artist will appeal city order to remove his installation BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla artist Nasser Pirasteh is appealing the city order that an artistic installation on his property at 6707 Avenida Manana (at Nautilus Street) has been deemed a “structure” and needs to be taken down. Arguing the piece in question is not a structure, but a sculpture, Pirasteh had until May 23 to take the installation down or face fines of up to $2,500 per day. An administrative hearing is being scheduled, likely for mid-June. In the meantime, the city is not imposing the fines.
Hopeful that the hearing can be held on the property so the city panel can see the 10-foot installation in person, Pirasteh said, “There is no way to see everything clearly through the photos, so I hope they can come here and see there is no electricity or running water in the sculpture, which would make it a structure.” Since the city notice was issued in March, friends and neighbors have turned out to support Pirasteh, and the wall surrounding the piece has since been marked with notes of support.
improve the congestion on that corridor,” said Scott Robinson, Senior Public Information Officer for the City of San Diego. Noting that the summer tourist season is here, he added, “We know (La Jolla Parkway is) congested all the time so we wanted to go ahead and make this change. If it’s successful, it could be used in other areas in the future.” La Jolla Parkway is the second major street to get this technology, but the first heavily trafficked arterial road. City Traffic Engineer Duncan Hughes explained the pilot program was on Lusk Boulevard in Mira Mesa, and the next streets to get the system are La Jolla Parkway, Mira Mesa Boulevard and Rosecrans Street. “Those are three of the busiest corridors in the city, so now we’re going to see how it works on a highly congested corridor,” he said. “In the case of La Jolla Parkway, we’ve also always had seasonal traffic in the summer. We’re hoping to get some adaptability automatically without us having to go out there and constantly be making (light timing) changes.” During previous summers, the green light duration was manually adjusted by traffic engineers, and occasionally re-evaluated. As Hughes explained, “This system is set up to try to get progression through the intersections as much as possible based on the traffic volume and vehicle counts that are detectable through the camera. But they also use that information to minimize side street delays. A traditional coordinated system will generally be on a fixed cycle for a couple of hours in the morning and then maybe a different cycle in the evening, or as we
determine necessary. The idea of the adaptive system is we can automatically increase or decrease that cycle in response to real-time traffic conditions.” The cameras were installed on the mast arms in late May, and then traffic engineers experimented with angles and pointing directions to get the best read of how many cars are in the area. The next phase is to have the city get a baseline of wait times that the system can “optimize away from.” Once that baseline is established, the cameras will go live, ideally by June 11. The pricetag for equipment is just over $150,000 for all the cameras, with additional labor costs (from the installation) to be determined. After about three months, the data will be reviewed to make sure the system is running smoothly. However, if a problem or area of improvement is detected before that, adjustments will be made at that time, Robinson said. Hughes added, “It may take some fine tuning, so we are going to give it time to make sure it is performing as efficiently as it can. There are adjustments we could make … based on what we see and what we hear from the public.” Those who would like to report a problem with the adaptive signal timing or any other traffic issue are encouraged to use the city’s new app, found from Google Play Store, the Apple Store and the city’s website. Robinson said, “We want to improve commutes, so if there are any issues, please report the problem.” The app can be found at sandiego.gov/get-it-done But hoping for success, Hughes said, “This is a very congested corridor, as anyone that drives it knows, so there is no magic bullet, but we are hoping to see a change for the better.”

CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Kayakers need rescuing in La Jolla San Diego lifeguards rescued a tour group of 13 kayakers who capsized or got washed onto a rocky shore in La Jolla May 26. The kayakers, including a leader and two children, were buffeted by waves as they were passing an area known as the Devil’s Slide, south of La Jolla Shores. Some or all of the rented crafts capsized just before noon, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Lee Swanson said. Lifeguards used personal watercraft to pick up the stranded kayakers and take them to safety. Swanson said some suffered minor cuts or scrapes but did not need medical attention.

Educators Working As A Team
Cluster Association wraps up school year
BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Cluster Association held its last meeting of the year May 19 at Murilands Middle School to discuss priorities for next year. The group is comprised of principals, teachers and representatives from La Jolla’s five public schools — La Jolla High, Muirlands Middle, La Jolla Elementary, Bird Rock Elementary and Torrey Pines Elementary. Focusing on the success of more active collaboration and communication, teachers shared the benefits they’ve seen thus far, and expressed hopes for building on them next year. “I love the idea of looking at best practices because there are so many amazing things happening at all the sites,” said Muirlands Middle School science teacher Julie Latta. “In these meetings, I hear a lot of what my colleagues are doing and I am always noting and stealing their ideas. But I don’t think all of my colleagues at all grades levels have an opportunity to do that.” Added Torrey Pines Elementary School teacher Chris Ramirez, “I’ve been in this area for eight years, and for the first six years we weren’t getting together in a formal way. The last two years have been a great experience in working with La Jolla and Bird Rock (elementary schools) … we’re really collaborating and getting ideas to each other.” In July 2014, an agreement approved by San Diego Unified School District trustees gave governance teams from La Jolla’s five public

Last year, the Cluster Association’s goal was to focus on “vertical teaming,” in which teachers in the later years of elementary school and earlier middle school, and teachers of middle school and early high school students met to ensure an easy transition between schools.
“I’d like to see more vertical planning for K-12. I still think we are under-represented as far as the amount of time we spend getting an understanding of what’s happening in the grade levels that come to us and what happens beyond us,” Latta said. “It’s not that we want to mold everyone into the same frame, but I’d like to see more of an awareness
of what kids are coming to you with, and actually build on that. I always thought that was one of the fundamental purposes of this group.” With the planned roll out of Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools (NGSS) over the next few years, better communication across grade levels will be key. The new standards, issued by the California Department of Education, call on teachers to integrate new science curriculum as early as next year. However, some teachers in the San Diego area are hoping for flexibility. “At the elementary school level, the district is asking that in 2016, K-5 teachers roll out the Earth Science strands of NGSS, and then in 2017 add on Physical Science, and in 2018, the Life Sciences, so by the end of 2018-2019, everyone is fully integrated,” Latta explained. “What we heard from elementary school representatives is that they are very slowly trying to align with NGSS, but there seems to be a lack of awareness with what the standards are. They also felt that rolling out six grade levels of new curriculum is overwhelming.” Planning to rely on each other as the new standards are integrated, teachers in attendance said success would hinge on communication and viewing the change as “grassroots,” with the effort starting at the schools, then to the city-wide Clusters and beyond. — La Jolla Cluster Association will resume meeting in the fall. lajollacluster.com

How Walkable Is La Jolla?
Experts say there’s assets, room for improvements Editor’s Note: Last week, La Jolla Light teamed with some experienced cyclists to evaluate the bike-ability of La Jolla, in connection with Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s new “Climate Action Plan” for San Diego. The consensus was there’s a lot to be done before bicyclists and motorists can share the roads safely. This week we look at La Jolla’s walkability.
BY ASHLEY MACKIN irculate San Diego (CSD), an amalgamation of the organizations Walk San Diego and Move San Diego, has what they call the five “ingredients” to a walkable community. These are: safe sidewalks, safe crossing opportunities, traffic calming, destinations, and beauty/comfort. Looking at these ingredients through a La Jolla lens, CSD Director of Advocacy Kathleen Ferrier said La Jolla has some walkable assets, and some areas for improvement. “The Village itself is walkable because a lot of these factors for a walkable area are present. But getting to the Village is very challenging, and it’s hard for people to walk there, so they are more likely to drive, especially tourists, and that makes it harder to reach that walkability factor,” she said. “The biggest challenge with La Jolla is that it doesn’t have a grid pattern that we see in other older neighbors, which disperses traffic and gives someone walking a choice of numerous routes to get from one part of the neighborhood to another. There are walkable neighborhoods within La Jolla, but it’s very challenging to get from one to the next.”
C
The wide sidewalks in the Village contribute to La Jolla’s walkability.
more people walking. A frequent type of crash is a car not yielding to a pedestrian in a crosswalk,” Ferrier said. “But it’s common courtesy to give someone a little more time so they can be safe.”
Traffic-calming Tactics
State of the Sidewalks
“For a community to have good, safe sidewalks, these must not be broken or uneven. Ideally, there should be something in between the sidewalk and the street, like a row of trees or a parked car, so if a person falls off a sidewalk they are not going to be hit by a car,” she said. Although La Jolla has its fair share of cracked sidewalks, often featured in the Tarnishing Our Jewel series, La Jolla is not alone in its predicament. While Ferrier said she doesn’t have data as to how many cracked sidewalks there are and how that affects walkability, she said, “The availability of a sidewalk is the most important factor in determining whether people are going to walk, according to research.” The condition of sidewalks is an issue, not just in San Diego, but in cities across the country. “Over time, sidewalk quality declines and we have to look at who is going to pay for that; it’s an ongoing conversation.” Unique to La Jolla, however, is the hilly thoroughfare of Torrey Pines Road, which does not have consistent sidewalks on both sides of the street. “The Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project Phase II will improve the sidewalk and add bike lanes, but what they have to do to make that happen is shore up the hillside with retaining walls. That drives the cost up substantially, so what we see is those projects don’t often get funded

During a recent stroll through the Village, a car was observed turning right in front of the pedestrian crosswalk entrance ignoring the ‘walk’ signal and ‘no turn on red’ sign. immediately.”
Pedestrian Crossings
Ferrier opined that oftentimes there are not enough safe crossings for people. “We see them at signalized intersections and at stop signs, but it’s in between that makes it difficult and there are a lot of stretches in La Jolla where we have space in between,” Ferrier said. Using Torrey Pines Road as an example, she said there is a mile between two signalized intersections. However, as part of the $1.2 million Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project Phase II, a pedestrian-activated crosswalk will be installed halfway between the two existing signalized intersections at Almalfi Street. Explaining the system, Ferrier said, “With a normal traffic signal, it operates on its own
system and regularly goes from red to yellow to green, and keeps traffic flowing. With this system, it would only turn on when a pedestrian is there wanting to cross and activates it. Overhead lights flash yellow, then flash red when the pedestrian is crossing, and stops traffic for 8-20 seconds, and then traffic resumes afterward.” Looking the crosswalks at wide intersections of the Village, specifically on Girard Avenue and Fay Avenue, a common but dangerous habit of some drivers is to proceed through an intersection and wait in the middle for a pedestrian to cross, and then proceed as soon as the pedestrian is out of the way, but not out of the intersection. “In a car, there is a sense of immediacy that folks should be able to drive anywhere and get there quickly. Meanwhile, we have
One of the fundamentals for Walk San Diego, traffic calming, is critical to slowing cars down and reducing injury in the event of vehicle-pedestrian accidents. “There are a lot of techniques as far as street design that traffic engineers and cities can employ that will slow cars down but keep cars moving,” she said. Areas that have done well in terms of traffic calming are Bird Rock, which has become a national model for how to implement roundabouts; and La Jolla Shores, which has more narrow streets, stops signs and “bump outs” on corners. “Bump outs are curb extensions that pop out of the corner of an intersection, which helps make pedestrians more visible and slows the car speed around that turn so it’s safer for the person to cross the street,” she said. However, the majority of streets in the Village do not have traffic calming.
Proximity of Destinations
An area where La Jolla thrives, is the “destinations” component. “It doesn’t matter how great your streets are, if the grocery store is two miles away, you aren’t going to walk there. So creating these 20-minute walkable neighborhoods where you can get to different services and destinations in proximity is really important.” Because Circulate San Diego research suggests people will comfortably walk about half a mile from one destination to the other, especially on the coast or on vacation, La Jolla Light looked at the proximity of SEE PEDESTRIANS, A31

Film producers hope their offices become community hub BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Petra and Pierce Kavanagh’s story is one made out of love. Love for art, the ocean, each other and San Diego. Eight years ago, they met at a Padres game and they have been together since. “It was love at first sight,” said Petra. “It made sense that we met at a San Diego event and now we are holding San Diego events,” Pierce added. Two months ago, the Kavanaghs opened their new headquarters of Misfit Pictures in La Jolla, at 565 Pearl St., Suite 100. Calling their company just a “film producer” would fall short. They have produced three documentaries since 2011, “Manufacturing Stoke” (2011), “ReSurf” (2014), and “What The Sea Gives Me” (2014). They also organize the San Diego Surf Film Festival whose fifth edition (May 18-28, 2016) featured more than 20 films in three different venues. But, more important than what they already are, is what they want to become. Acting, photography and after-school art workshops for kids, book releases, monthly art expositions, and film showings are some of the activities Misfit Pictures intends to organize in their new space. “Basically, things that I would like to see myself around town but I don’t … (We want to) become a community center, I guess,” Pierce said. The Kavanaghs have been organizing such events around San Diego for five years, but now for the first time, they have a home base. “Now that we have a venue it’s a new twist on it because we can do things on our own. In like a day-to-day basis. If one of our friends has a book to release, they can come

Bottom: Misfit Pictures founders Petra and Pierce Kavanagh and do it. We used to do massive events a dozen times a year, this one now it’s changed to more of a day-to-day operation,” Pierce said. “We can do the things we want to do without worrying about renting places,” Petra added. When they visited the New York Surf Film Festival in 2011, they said they couldn’t believe San Diego didn’t have one. “We came back and started it, so it was just the two of us, so we didn’t really know what would happen … but we’ve been growing ever since,” said Pierce.
Last year, 3,500 people attended the San Diego Surf Festival. This year, besides the film screenings and question-and-answer sessions with cinematographers, they organized a full moon surf session, a brewery crawl, hosted three surf world champions, and the international artist Damian X Fulton created a mural at their headquarters. “We had many things that we wanted to show outside visitors and even our own neighborhood people, what we love about this town and what we love about San Diego,” Pierce said.
When it comes to their filmmaking, they explained that right now they are too busy with the new space and the films festival to work on a new piece. However, Pierce said he has a short film in his mind. The pair work together as a team. He’s the creative force, the director and filmmaker. She’s the producer who makes sure everything happens. Their documentaries have merited two international awards, Best Ocean Sports Film for “Manufacturing Stoke” at the Blue Ocean Film Festival in Monterrey and Best Cinematography for “What the Sea Gives Me,” at the London Surf Film Festival. “What the Sea Gives Me,” their last documentary, addressed the different connections between people and the ocean. “We interviewed 13 people from all walks of life, whether it be artists, oceanographers, photographers, just anything connected to the sea and we asked them about their intimate connection and just kind of wove it together,” Pierce said. Other than being a creative hub in La Jolla, Pierce explained that he wants to inspire people. “We’re not following anyone’s path, we want to make it different, when I go into galleries is more like a museum … in here you’re going to be able to create, as opposed to just go to a gallery and view. That’s the environment we’re going for,” he said.

OPINION
www.lajollalight.com
OUR READERS WRITE Story on bicycling in town draws much reader feedback ■ I was delighted to see La Jolla Light put bicycles and cycling on the front page (May 26). More cycling means less cars (maybe) and safer streets (also maybe). Before I continue, I acknowledge that some cyclists don’t behave in a manner that is courteous to other road users. Nor do they obey all the traffic laws all the time. Having said that, is there any reason to endanger a cyclist with your 4,000 pound vehicle because you saw a different cyclist blow past a stop sign yesterday or last week? Is 10 seconds of your time worth endangering a person just because they are on a bike? Bulletin to motorists: Driving faster does NOT get you to your destination sooner. You just wait longer at traffic signals and stop sign queues. Is La Jolla safe for cycling? It can be if all road users stop competing and start cooperating. Bird Rock’s roundabouts are a boon to the community. They slow traffic yet increase average speed through the area. There are two things to remember when going through a roundabout: 1. Bicycles should not ride next to a car. Take the lane. Don’t let a car get alongside you. Don’t squeeze by on the right. 2. Motorists should not drive next to a cyclist. Slow down and wait until the next straight to pass. Torrey Pines Road can be intimidating. I never ride on Torrey Pines Road between Prospect Place and Girard Avenue. Virginia Way or going through the Village are preferable to me. I do appreciate that most motorists are tolerant of cyclists heading toward the Village on Torrey Pines Road as we climb the hill up to Prospect Place. The Village is a great place to ride if done effectively. Traffic is slow and most cyclists ride at the speed of cars. Intersections are 3- or 4-way stops. My advice to cyclists is to stop at the stop signs, take your turn at the stops, and take the lane (motorists will see you better and you can see cars pulling out from the curb better). Remember, the law is for drivers to leave at least three feet between their car and a cyclist. That’s from my left arm, not my wheel. That applies whether there is a bike lane or not.Let’s look out for each other. And no distracted driving please! Richard Wolf ■ I was pleased to read the May 26 article by Maria Jose Duran, concerning biking in La Jolla. It is my hope that La Jolla will continue to add and improve biking lanes and biking trails for all of us. How special it will be to see more families biking together and all young (and not-so-young) La Jolla residents and visitors biking regularly. Biking is great for our health. With more safe, designated biking trails and lanes, our roads will be less congested. For those who have enjoyed biking in Hilton Head and Kiawah Island in South Carolina, we know that biking improves the community for residents and visitors. Improved biking trails and lanes will encourage our students to bike to school every day. Let’s also encourage parents and grandparents and all those who work in town, to start biking again. Let’s cut down on pollution by biking instead of driving. Join me and let’s make our community a safer biking community. The website time.com/3854835/best-bike-work-cities lists many biking communities that could be models for us. Susan H. Shmalo ■ As an avid (100-plus miles a week) cyclist in La Jolla, I like the tone of the Light’s recent article on biking in town — yes we are bike-friendly, but as some comment, we could do much more. I’m glad to see us moving forward with “friendlier,” including more dedicated bike lanes, but always with an eye for “safer.” The issue of safety is so important for cyclists and drivers that I wanted to add a few points to those already mentioned. People for Bikes is a wonderful organization; their Green Lane project is something I hope La Jolla will embrace and perhaps become a focus city in the near future: peopleforbikes.org/green-lane-project/landing/focus-cities I happen to be a personal injury attorney (yes, insert joke here _____) as well as a lifelong cyclist, so I’ve seen it all: driver opens car door into cyclist, driver hits cyclist from behind, driver cuts off cyclist turning right in front of him, driver turns left in front of, and hits, an oncoming cyclist,
driver plows head-on into an oncoming cyclist. I’ve seen every iteration of “bike versus car” and “bike” has yet to win. I’ve also seen several of my good friends become my clients. La Jollans may remember Juan Carlos Vinolo’s 2014 bike accident on Fiesta Island, paralyzing him from the chest down. Juan Carlos is my friend of many years and I filed a lawsuit on his behalf, but the truth is, I’d rather not have his business — I’d rather have my friend healthy and fully mobile. His family feels the same way. As La Jolla works to increase bike friendliness and bike safety, please, let’s all educate ourselves as to how to be part of the solution, rather than the problem, as cyclists and cars, and pedestrians and dogs, continue to share the road — mikebomberger.com/bike-resources offers links to bike safety resources from AAA, California Department of Motor Vehicles, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and more. Mike Bomberger ■ Biking in La Jolla is fun and scenic but not safe. Primary safety issues are the conditions of the road itself (potholes, lack of bike lanes, danger-squeeze intersections, etc.) and less-than-careful drivers. One suggestion to riders who like to ride in the Village: Take advantage of the many “lanes” (aka alleys) that grid our picturesque little Mecca. They’re safer and you get to see the lesser-seen parts of town. For fun, maybe one Sunday a month, we could close off some Village streets to bikes/walkers only. (Event sponsored by La Jolla Light?) Such a happening would turn the Village into a magnet for families, hipsters and race teams to come for a La Jolla bike regatta! Cal Mann ■ Is La Jolla a good place to bike? NO. NO. NO. La Jolla is the worst place to ride a bike! It’s scary and dangerous with almost no separate bike lanes. When I want a biking trip, I go to Minneapolis/St. Paul to visit friends and bike all over on separated bike paths for miles — including through downtown. All of San Diego needs to improve bicycle lanes, which will make it safer and fun to cycle around town. Jack Resnick ■ Due to the “pedestrian friendly” nature of La Jolla Village, I find that biking around the Village is pretty safe. However, getting into La Jolla and exiting from the north is very unsafe due to the high speed traffic along Torrey Pines Road. Since Torrey Pines Road is the primary access to the Village, it would not be practical to add a lot of bicycle lanes to this route. It would be fairly simple, however, to add a two-way section to the sidewalk between Prospect and Princess streets to give bicycles a path to the Shores and points north. Most bicycle riders just illegally ride on the sidewalk now. Why not provide a legal path to make La Jolla much more bicycle friendly. This would be a very small and low cost change to an existing route. Jerry Allen ■ Probably the only reason my family still bikes around La Jolla is because we rode bikes to school in the 1960s and refuse to give up this wonderful recreation despite the serious dangers. We love San Diego for the activities spent in the fresh air, not for the time in our cars. Of course our concern about Climate Change is another reason we try to bike. Let’s brainstorm together how we can make space along our streets for activities we need outside of our cars. 1) Please walk or bike along the “scenic coastal route.” The car congestion is nearly unmanageable. The sidewalks are too narrow. Strollers, dog walkers and joggers have difficulty sharing the limited sidewalk and often jump into the street between moving cars. 2) Parents drive high schoolers a few blocks to school as biking is too dangerous. It’s so scary to bike with a car door opening on your right and a car passing you on the left. How about some one-way streets with room for bikes, runners, strollers and others alongside the curb — no parked cars on that side? Diagonally parked cars on the other side. In Denmark, bikes are given priority and an hour commute by bike is popular, safe and enjoyable. For a happier, healthier community, we need safe biking, running and walking. Kaia Gantzel
Artist and his questionable yard work must adhere to laws There are several fantastic architects in La Jolla. Most would agree that they are great artists. Should they be allowed to exempt themselves from setbacks, building codes, electrical and plumbing inspections? Should we consider their work so special that it can exceed legal height limits? Can they use their artist exemption to build 4- or 5-story houses as long as they’re labelled “sculptures”? Some of us may disagree with aspects of the building and zoning codes. But one section that has almost universal support, probably even from Nasser Pirasteh’s supporters, is the setback laws that prohibit building too close to the sidewalk. Don’t we all want a little open space as we walk or drive down the street? How would La Jolla look if everyone constructed a 120 square foot “sculpture” a few feet from the sidewalk? Should Mr. Pirasteh’s self-proclaimed right to maintain an illegal structure trump his neighbors’ right to legally mandated open space outside their windows? Should building and electrical permits and inspections be optional for a self-declared special class? What happens when flimsy construction collapses or burns in an electrical fire? His supporters claim that only one neighbor complained to the city. They conveniently ignore the fact that the La Jolla Light poll more than two to one (67 percent to 32 percent) in favor of removing the structure from his property. We don’t know whether people want it gone because they consider it an eyesore or because it is illegal. But we do know that most La Jollans support the city’s removal order. Contrary to the opinions expressed by some of supporters, this is not a case of an artist being oppressed by the city. It’s about a man who believes he is entitled to violate seven sections of the building and zoning laws that the rest of us have to live by. The city is correctly telling him that he is not so entitled. C. Curtis
Stop cutting La Jolla’s trees! It seems that the powers that be will not be satisfied until La Jolla is turned into a desert, sans cactus or camels! Every time I look around it seems someone has hacked down a thing of beauty -- a tree. Now, yet another, and this one a true beauty, is gone. Whenever I walked along Prospect Street, just beyond what used to be the old IHOP Restaurant, I used to stop for a few minutes to admire the absolutely stunning beauty of the gigantic Podocarpus growing in all its glory. Today, to my horror, and, yes, distress, I find it has been hacked down. Who is the person that requested this ghastly act? Is there no one left in La Jolla who will stand up and say “no” when someone with no thought for anything except themselves, decides that yet another beautiful tree be hacked down. I dread to think what will take its place. Let me see, could it be cement, perhaps? Yes, that would really add to the beauty of La Jolla. Anne Ring
CORRECTION Carlos Rodriguez of the local rock band, Stone Horse, e-mailed to say bassist Al Venditti is no longer with the band. Bassist Jeffrey Bloom of Bird Rock, a graduate of La Jolla High School Class of 1984, joined the group in January. In the May 26 issue, the Light had a News Nugget about the band’s recent Indie Award.

FROM RAMPS, A1 “It totally shocked me,” she said. Commiserating, those hoping to see the broken stairway at 100 Coast Blvd. promptly replaced, said they, too, have heard this beach-access point might need an ADA access ramp, which could add years and permits to the project. Broken down by winter storms in early 2016 to the extent that the city fenced off access, residents would like the city to expedite the process. If it is carried out as a “replacement,” it would require extensive permitting and consideration of an ADA ramp. If it was called a “maintenance” or “repair” project, the process might be quicker and could be carried out privately. Horseshoe-area resident John Alexander said, “I spoke to someone in Public Works and she said that the stairs are beyond repair, so they are doing preliminary engineering on them … and developing cost estimates for new construction. So we are back to square one. They are looking at Environmental Impact right now, Coastal Commission permits and ADA issues. It sounds like it’s going to be one of those gigantic projects.” San Diego City Council District 1 representative Justin Garver, in attendance at the meeting, explained that several beach-access points were being considered for the feasibility of adding a ramp. “By Federal ADA laws, they have to do an evaluation and right now, and that’s what this is. The determination will show whether

something is feasible or not.” He said he would report back with future details. Meanwhile, a lawsuit is underway to establish better ADA access to the Children’s Pool. With the construction of the new lifeguard tower there, an ADA accessible ramp was installed to the restroom facilities, but not to the beach itself. Citing the gentle waves and easy transition into the water at Children’s Pool, paraplegic swimmer Jack Robertson is suing the city to get an access ramp to the sand.
In other LJP&B news:
■ Cove Pavilion progress: Representing the project to replace the restroom facility at
La Jolla Cove, LJ&PB member Patrick Ahern said the details were in negotiation at the city level, and could take up to four more years. “It’s going a little slower than we expected … so we’re putting a little pressure on the city,” he said. “It will be a spectacular amount of work and a beautiful place when it’s finished.” ■ WindanSea Shack: The famed WindanSea Shack that was destroyed during the winter El Nino storms, is gradually being replaced on the bluffs at the end of Playa Del Norte. Friends of WindanSea co-founder Melinda Merryweather said, “The main poles are in and (soon) we hope the rest of it will
go up, and the last thing will be to add the palm fronds roof. We’re getting closer all the time.” The Shack is privately cared for under Friends of WindanSea, after it was designated historic. ■ Taste at the Cove: Because LJ&PB reviews uses of Scripps Park, the planned Taste at the Cove event was presented for review and approved. A fundraiser for San Diego Sports Medicine Foundation, the event is set for Aug. 25. — La Jolla Parks & Beaches next meets 4 p.m. Monday, June 27 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. lajollaparksandbeaches.org

What brought you to La Jolla?
What brought you to town?
I was working for the Los Angeles Times, and was pregnant with my first daughter. We moved to San Diego because my husband and I thought it was a better place to raise our children. In 1983, we bought a house in La Jolla, and I have lived here for the most of the last 33 years.
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area?
With a snap of my fingers, I would establish on-demand tram service all over La Jolla (I live on Mount Soledad), so that it’s easy to get to the Village and the Shores without driving your car. Second, I would instantly repair our aging infrastructure so that there are no more potholes, our sewer and water pipes are pristine, and our sidewalks are in perfect condition. Lastly, with a snap of my fingers, I would clean all of our beaches and restrooms.
Who or what inspires you?
My greatest inspiration and role model is my mother Adelaide Bry who died too young at the age of 62 (she lived in La Jolla for the last few years of her life). She was a woman ahead of her time. She was an entrepreneur, psychotherapist and author, and she broke many glass ceilings. Because of her, I believed that I could succeed in the business world, and I earned an MBA from Harvard. Also because of her, it’s been important to me to empower other women, so I started Athena San Diego for women in the tech and life science community and Run Women Run to elect qualified San Diego women.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?
My mother Adelaide, so that she could meet my husband Neil Senturia, my two daughters Sarah and Rachel (who never knew her), my son-in-law Jason, my future son-in-law Daniel, my grandson Colton, and Margaret Mead. SEE BRY, A29
I first came to San Diego on business and through family connections. I realized immediately it was a special place and I knew this was where I wanted to live, raise a family and start a business. One of the best decisions I ever made.
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area?
I would add more thriving businesses in the Village to fill the empty storefronts. I would eliminate the stench at the La Jolla Cove that we all want to go away. I would improve our streets throughout La Jolla.
Who or what inspires you?
I’ve always been inspired by our Founders and their vision and commitment to freedom. I’m also inspired by volunteering with others to address homelessness, education, foster care and other tough issues in our community.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?
Of course my wife, Gina, and then: Harry Truman, Condoleezza Rice, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Bill Gates, Jack London and Doris Kearns Goodwin.
What are you reading?
During the campaign, I’m reading a lot of public policy reports and related materials. For fun, I’m reading “The Generals,” by Winston Groom.
What is it that you most dislike?
Intolerance. It’s fine to respectfully disagree, but I have no patience for intolerance. Some people in politics forget the lessons all of us learned at a very young age. You can disagree without being disagreeable. Take the high road. You’ll be glad you did. SEE ELLIS, A29

10 Q UEST I O NS WITH DISTRICT 1 CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES
Kyle Heiskala
A
s a Representative for San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner and a graduate of UC San Diego, Kyle Heiskala has been dedicated to improving the communities of District 1. A native San Diegan, he was first inspired by the impact of local government when he interned in the Council District 1 office in 2010. Ever since, Kyle has dedicated his life to public service. Environmental sustainability is one of his greatest passions. The lack of affordable housing and alternative transportation options in District 1 are Kyle’s top priorities. As a hopeful future Kyle Heiskala homeowner, he wants to ensure that there will be affordable places to live that are located near quality jobs with easy options to get to work. One of his proudest achievements was implementing an overhaul of the UCSD student transit program, the new Triton U-Pass. He negotiated with Metropolitan Transit System officials and developed the $20 million five-year proposal that secured overwhelming approval by a student vote. The Triton U-Pass program gives 31,000 students unlimited access to all bus and light rail routes in the San Diego region until 2019 with the option to renew the contract in five years.

Bruce Lightner
B
ruce Lightner is an experienced business owner and community activist who fights for the neighborhoods of District 1. Bruce and his wife, Sherri, are both UC San Diego graduates. Bruce and Sherri own a successful engineering business. Bruce is a design engineer with more than 33 U.S. patents in computer architecture, electronics and software algorithm design. He has been involved in multiple high-tech startup ventures over the last several decades, collectively employing hundreds of people with high-paying jobs and creating hundreds of Bruce Lightner millions of dollars in shareholder equity. The employees and partners in these ventures have created several San Diego-based high-tech companies. Both Bruce and Sherri have volunteered for many community organizations over the past 20 years, with Bruce providing tech support for the La Jolla Shores Association and the La Jolla Town Council. Bruce also led the successful fight to keep paid parking from La Jolla’s streets and beach areas. On the Web: brucelightner.org
What brought you to La Jolla?
I first came to La Jolla to attend the UC San Diego and got my degree in Environmental Systems.
At age 17, I moved from Los Angeles to La Jolla to study at UC San Diego. I’ve lived and worked in San Diego ever since, including the last 25 years in La Jolla Shores.

What brought you to La Jolla?
A reliable public transportation connection that could get you between La Jolla and downtown faster than a car.
Who or what inspires you?
How about having the same minimal amount of traffic on the freeways as the day I moved here — and more sand on our beaches?
That would be the genuine appreciation that happens when you help someone with their problem. That keeps me going each day.

Louis Rodolico
L
ouis Rodolico has been a resident of District 1 for 15 years. He was a licensed California architect before retiring last year. He said he worked mostly on hospital projects, but was also a project architect for the renovation of the US Grant Hotel and the Viejas Gymnasium. He has served on numerous boards, including the YWCA. His volunteer life includes donating blood and coaching youth baseball for seven years. He has a 30-year history of pro-bono work, including being an advocate for a $300 million transportation center, Louis Rodolico gymnasiums, a women’s shelter, commercial stores, playgrounds and others. He also builds houses in Mexico with a church group. He has two children and deep ties to the community. On the Web: louisrodolico.com
What brought you to La Jolla?
It’s not so much what brought me, but whom. I met my wife Katie when she was in Philadelphia, we got married at Cuvier Park in La Jolla on Jan. 1, 2000. I always know exactly how long I’ve been married. Katie was born and raised here and it did not take too much convincing for me to agree to move to this wonderful city.
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area?
I would like to see the Regents Road Bridge built. Developer Impact Fees to build the bridge were placed in the community account almost half a century ago. Talking to doctors, medics and fire personnel, the bridge is sorely needed. Not having it lowers response times and the time it takes to get a patient to a hospital. The number of deaths and consequences of the delays remain a part of private hospital records. I will do what I can not to leave those deaths and late treatment consequences on the table.
Who or what inspires you?
I have known countless community volunteers, some with overwhelmingly powerful positive personal force. Some of the other candidates have provided unpaid volunteer work for their community as well. These individuals have a strong sense of community and do not simply complain, but put their own time in to help those most in need of support. I see them as angels on Earth. SEE RODOLICO, A29

All Hallows Academy seventh grader Chrysanthe Frangos at the California State Science Fair
All Hallows student earns top honors at state Science Fair All Hallows Academy seventh-grader Chrysanthe Frangos took first place in the microbiology category at the California State Science Fair. The 65th annual Fair was held in the California Science Center, May 23-24, with 941 participants from 421 schools presenting 845 projects in competition for awards totaling $60,000.
In the junior division of the Microbiology Category, Chrysanthe won for “Using Rice and Silica Gel in the Prevention of Bread Mold.” Her project summary states that the goal was to “see if rice can safely and effectively delay or prevent the forming of mold on stored, preservative-free bread. Rice is a known desiccant used in salt shakers to absorb excess moisture and prevent clumping. Many cultures twice bake bread (biscotti, zwieback) as a form of preservation.” Chrysanthe detailed her methods/materials, results, conclusions and help received. Eric Kokke, another All Hallows Academy seventh-grader, did well in the Environmental Engineering Division, also earning a nomination to apply for the Broadcom Masters national Middle School Science Competition.

FROM PEDESTRIANS, A12 places within the Village near the coastal landmarks. From the Children’s Pool, La Valencia Hotel, Herringbone restaurant, Lean and Green Café, Public House, and the La Jolla Library are within half a mile. From the La Jolla tide pools, a half-mile walk will get you almost all the way up Pearl Street, but not as far as the Pannikin coffee house, and then into residential neighborhoods. From the Cove, within half a mile are residential areas, Torrey Pines Road, The Cottage restaurant (barely) and La Jolla Historical Society (barely). Also from the Cove, Vons is .7 miles away, so anything inside of that is up in the air.
Aesthetics
Addressing beauty/comfort, Ferrier said, “It’s much more pleasant to walk in a place that is beautiful and if there are benches, trees, views, appropriate lighting (Circulate San Diego advocates for acorn lights because they are better for pedestrians rather than the overhead lights, which are better for cars). People might be willing to walk a mile if that mile is pleasant.” Because La Jolla is a fixture for natural beauty, the team behind the Whale View Point Shoreline Enhancement project are working with the city to install a new sidewalk along Coast Boulevard, where there is currently uneven paths and segments of dirt walkways.
Hope for the future
In addition to the Whale View Point project, two other projects are underway that would improve walkability. Five years in
the making, the aforementioned Torrey Pines Road Corridor Project would improve the sidewalks and create safer crossing opportunities, and help connect La Jolla Shores to the Village. Next is the planned Mid-Coast Trolley Project, which would have a stop at UC San Diego and Westfield UTC, and would give visitors more options for how to get around. Ferrier explained, “There will be a lot of space between that and the coastal area, but there will be more people with the choice to park their car elsewhere, ride the trolley and then walk or combine the trolley with bike-share or car-share. That all contributes to walkability.” Construction of the project is expected to begin later this year, with service to begin in 2021.
Pedestrians Speak Out
Jack Leow and Deepti Bhogle work on Prospect Street and said they walk to get lunch almost every day. “La Jolla is very walkable because the downtown area is so centralized and all the shops and restaurants are right here,” Leow said. “I also like that there are so many galleries around, and the beach is so close by, so if I’m taking a walk there is a lot to see.” But for all its beauty, Bhogle said, “Pedestrians get ignored at times. We’ve had issues where we walk around and see that the cars just don’t pay attention ... I’ve heard enough stories about drivers in the Village who don’t stop for pedestrians.” Leow added, “I think if you make eye contact with the driver, it isn’t really a problem, but sometimes you get a driver who will just go past you, and you just have to deal with that.”

Symphony & Chorus ending season on a personal note BY DAVID L. CODDON hen the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus closes its “Soundscape San Diego” season on June 4 and 5 at UC San Diego’s Mandeville Auditorium, it will mark the realization of a long-cherished dream. In his penultimate season as choral director, LJS&C’s David Chase will conduct a performance of Paul Hindemith’s “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d: a Requiem for those we love,” a 1946 work based on the sprawling elegy by Walt Whitman. Hindemith’s work, one of two offerings in the concert that wraps up LJS&C’s 61st season (the other is Benjamin Britten’s “An American Overture”), is special to Chase in part because it was originally commissioned by his mentor, conductor Robert Shaw. This performance of “Lilacs” will also find Chase conducting his son, baritone Darren Chase, along with mezzo-soprano Janelle DeStefano. “It’s a daunting piece on numerous levels,” said David Chase. “For a very long time, I was afraid of it. I always thought of it as a piece I ought to be Barritone Darren Chase able to do someday, but I never felt I was quite ready for it. … I got the notion 20 years ago that I would like to do it with Darren. It has such a big, gorgeous baritone solo part. “I thought that one of these days there would be a reason to man up and do (‘Lilacs’).” That’s where Darren came in. David talked with his son about a couple of possible pieces they could collaborate on, the two of them having not appeared on stage together since 2006. Darren, his father recalled, was all in on “Lilacs.” SEE SYMPHONY & CHORUS, B25

Mozart’s sister ‘back’ for a night at Balboa Theatre
BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ozart’s sister, nicknamed Nannerl (short for Maria Anna), was a gifted musician/composer who could have been a contender ... if she hadn’t been a girl. Billed as the “Wunderkinder,” Nannerl and Wolfi were a pair of prodigies who performed together, touring Europe under the direction of their father, Leopold, until Nannerl turned 18, when she was sent home to her mother to prepare for a proper marriage. She married late, lived more than twice as long as her famous younger brother, and became a stepmother, a mother, and a music teacher, not a star. In 2013, actress/playwright/musician Silvia Milo brought Nannerl to life in a remarkable one-woman show, “The Other Mozart.” Originally staged at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, the show went on to a successful run off-Broadway, winning an award for Outstanding Solo Performance. After three years of touring, it’s now coming to the Balboa Theatre, Sunday, June 12, part of

Silvia Milo brings Mozart’s sister to life in ‘The Other Mozart,’ June 12 at Balboa Theatre. Mainly Mozart’s 2016 Summer Festival, whose theme is “An Exploration of Prodigy.” Performed in and on an enormous, corseted dress, “The Other Mozart” is based on historical facts and Mozart family letters, and features music by Wolfgang and
Leopold, as well as Marianna Martines, a woman composer of the times who managed to have a successful career. There is also original music by Nathan Davis (Milo’s husband) and Phyllis Chen, members of the International Contemporary Ensemble
(ICE). Using clavichords, music boxes, bells, teacups and fans, they created an award-winning score filled with sounds that Nannerl would have found quite familiar. Born in Warsaw, Poland, Silvia Milo started playing piano at age 4, moving on to the violin. At 18, she went to study music at NYU, and made New York her home. As an actress, she took on unconventional roles, including Bob Dylan and Hamlet. As an acoustic and electric violinist, she performed with jazz and avant-garde rock bands and composed scores for dance and theater companies. Then, 10 years ago, Nannerl changed her life. Milo never knew about Nannerl until she went to Vienna for Mozart’s 250th birthday celebration. “I saw a small portrait of Mozart’s family,” she said. “And there was this young woman seated next to Wolfgang at the keyboard, their hands intertwined. In all my years of music classes, women were hardly ever mentioned. Where were the women Mozarts? When I saw one, it really shook me SEE MOZART’S SISTER, B21

Eating my way through Parma: An Italian food series, Cheese!
G
La Jolla Cultural Partners
rowing up, I never really embraced Parmesan cheese, a stinky powder, which was typically sold in shiny, tinsel-green cylinders. When I heard the story of the iconic entertainer, Liberace, who mistakenly sprinkled Comet (a doppelganger for the Parmesan tin) on his home-baked lasagna nearly poisoning his dinner guests, I took a hiatus from the cheese for several years. I have since experienced a cheese conversion, especially during my recent tour of the CIBUS International Food Exhibition held in Parma, Italy. One of the highlights was the discovery of the complicated and exhilarating production of Parmigiano Reggiano (authentic Parmesan) cheese, first created by monks 900 years ago as a means of preserving surplus milk. The cheese, emblematic to the region of Parma, has put the latter on the map with its pungent aroma and rich flavor. Chunks cut from the golden wheel in which this robust cheese is presented, appear on breakfast and dessert tables accompanied by acacia honey, fig jam and fresh fruits, and shaved onto salads, soups, pizzas, pastas, risottos and eggplant dishes for lunches and dinners. This ancient cheese is thoroughly
ensconced in the culture and tradition of the region, and is even designated by law with the certification acronym DOP, which stands for Denominazione di Origine Protetta (Protected Designation of Origin). This guarantees to the consumer that the product was locally grown, produced and packaged in the region of Parma using traditional and artisanal methods set out by the Consortium. Wearing hair caps, shoe coverings and lab coats, our group of journalists marveled Consorzio Produttori Latte, sampling different aged cheeses at the end of the adventure. Feeling like a Lilliputian, my jaw dropped at the gargantuan copper caldrons as big as Jacuzzi tubs, and stirring paddles resembling ships’ oars. But most remarkable was the dedication of the cheese master who, according to Simone Ficarelli, marketing representative with Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano, “has only taken six vacation days during the past 40 years.” Just as remarkable was the process of producing the Parmesan wheel, pampered like a newborn baby — coddled, swathed, bathed in warm, salty water, strictly monitored and cared for daily for up to 36
months in a temperature-controlled environment until branded with its date of birth, the dairy’s logo, and regional certification, only after passing the cheese master’s rigorous tests. By law, the cheese must stay in the aging room a minimum of 12 months, considered an immature teenager in the cheese world, still soft, pale and difficult to grate. Other cheeses will continue to age until 24 or 36 months. Ficarelli recommended older cheeses, “as they are more evolved with complex elements like marbles of granulated protein that burst with an umami flavor, and crunch to the teeth.” But no matter what age of the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, the processing removes all but trace amounts of lactose sugar, making it easily digestible for most people who are typically lactose intolerant.
A Cheese Sidebar
■ It takes 150 gallons of milk to produce one 80-pound Parmesan wheel. ■ One in 1,000 wheels fails the cheese master’s test, and is declassified and sold as “grana” or granulated, shredded cheese at half the price of Parmesan. ■ For centuries cheese masters used their elbows as thermometers. Marie Louise, Duchess of Parma and second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, used her influence to transform the age-old (and potentially injurious) process. She invited Monsieur Reaumur, a French scientist and inventor of the Reaumur temperature scale to Parma to modernize the elbow technique.
Melt-in-your-Mouth Eggplant Parmesan ■ Ingredients: • 1 large eggplant, thinly sliced (skin intact) • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, and more for pan-frying • 1 24-ounce jar crushed Italian tomatoes • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 handful fresh basil leaves, chopped • 1 teaspoon honey • 4 ounces each Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese (aged at least 24 months), shredded and blended ■ Method: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a saucepan, heat oil on low, and sauté garlic til tender. Add tomatoes, honey, basil and spices, and simmer for 15 minutes. In a large skillet, coat the bottom with olive oil, and pan-fry the eggplant slices in batches until tender, but still firm. Set aside cooked slices on a baking sheet until completed. In a rectangular, oven-safe baking dish, alternate layers starting with tomato sauce, then eggplant, and repeat. For the top layer sprinkle cheese mixture to make a covering. Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is golden and melted. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Consider the day camp experience to prepare them for future overnight camp. 2) How did your child become interested in camp? Does your child talk about camp and camp activities on a sustained basis? How much persuasion is necessary from you? 3) Has your child had positive overnight experiences away from home? Visiting relatives or friends? Were these separations easy or difficult? 4) What does your child expect to do at camp? Learning about the camp experience ahead of time allows you to create positive expectations. 5) Are you able to share consistent and positive messages about camp? Your confidence in a positive experience will be contagious. —Source: American Camp Association

Fair goes ‘mad’ for the magic of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK This year’s San Diego Fair theme is “Mad About the Fair,” fusing the magical adventure of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” with the artistic movement known as Steampunk. “We have gone completely mad — absolutely bonkers,” said Frederick Schenk, chairman of the Fair Planning Committee, during a press conference and fair preview on May 17. “We have tea parties and hats. White rabbits and cats. A fabulous day and queens and croquet. We are mad about the fair.” The 2016 San Diego County Fair opens Friday, June 3 and runs through Monday, July 4 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The 26-day fair will feature the "Mad About the Fair" theme exhibit, which will include a first edition of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” first published more than 150 years ago. “A Steampunk twist on ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll, the exhibit is a retro-futuristic vision of Alice and all of her friends,” said Schenk, who also serves as a board member of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. Fairgoers can also visit Steampunk Corner with cosplay-inspired teetotalers, or stop by “Grace Slick’s Mad Tea Party,” an exhibition of original artwork based on the book and created by Slick, the lead singer for the rock bands Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. Among a variety of other theme-related
activities, there will also be a nightly Hatter's Mad Party, a dance party for people of all ages. The fair will also demonstrate how agriculture was, and still is, at the core of the fair. California Grown Exhibit, the fair’s newest exhibit, will show attendees the past, present and future of California farming. “We honor the mission of the 22nd District Agricultural Association by bringing together our agricultural heritage with family-friendly attractions and exhibits,” said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “The San Diego County Fair is a premium value, providing entertainment and fun that gives families a reason to visit the fair year after year and time after time during the 26-day run.” The fair will also feature animal exhibits, rides and games, car shows and a variety of festivals, including The Toast of the Coast Wine Festival on Saturday, June 11, San Diego International Beer Festival from Friday, June 17 through Sunday, June 19, and Distilled: Spirit & Cocktail Festival on Saturday, June 25. As the largest fair in California, and one of the top five fairs in North America, Fennell said the San Diego County Fair attracts more than 1.5 million fairgoers annually. “Given this year’s theme and its fabulous opportunity to adventure through the looking glass and into the magical world of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, fantasy, and subgenre of Steampunk, I predict, in 2016, we will make history once again by breaking all records,” Fennell said. The nightly Toyota Summer Concert Series is
the fair’s premier entertainment event, featuring internationally-known artists on the Heineken Grandstand Stage. The concert series opens June 3 with San Diego favorites Switchfoot. Other artists include Lady Antebellum on Sunday, June 5, Rachel Platten on Wednesday, June 8, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on Thursday, June 9, X Ambassadors on Wednesday, June 15, 3 Doors Down on Thursday, June 16, Matt Nathanson and Phillip Phillips with Eric Hutchinson on Friday, June 17, Hunter Hayes on Tuesday, June 21, Kenny Rogers on Wednesday, June 22, The Jacksons on Friday, June 24, Charlie Puth on Tuesday, June 28, Brian Wilson on Thursday, June 30, and Kool & The Gang on Saturday, July 2, among other artists. Sebastian Maniscalco will perform on the Fourth of July. And when the fair returns, so does the fair food. The fair favorite Chicken Charlie’s food stand is back, frying fan favorites as well as some new creations. Back by popular demand is Chicken Charlie’s triple cheeseburger on Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The popular chicken and shrimp pineapple bowls and fried Kool-Aid are also making a return. Among Chicken Charlie’s new concoctions is chicken and waffles on a stick — a fair-friendly version of owner Charlie Boghosian’s popular dish from his Clairemont-based restaurant FryBQ.
Boghosian is also introducing fried shrimp rice on a stick and Kool-Aid hot wings. “Every year we have to outdo the year before, and it’s not easy, so we have to be really creative,” said Boghosian, who has served fried food at the fair for 33 years, 20 years as the owner of the famous Chicken Charlie’s. “I’m living the American Dream — that’s really what I’m doing,” Boghosian added. “I love it. I love everyday.” From savory to sweet, selections from other vendors include bacon-wrapped baked potatoes, deep-fried lemonade, deep-fried nachos and deep-fried pizza, among many other treats. Some of the vendors have also had fun with this year’s theme. Pink’s Hot Dogs is debuting the Madhatter Dog, a mild Polish dog topped with chipotle mayo, grilled mushrooms and onions, shredded carrots and red cabbage. Vista-based Grant’s Tasti Burgers — also of Tasti Chips fame — is introducing the Hatter’s Mad Mash Up Burger, a 4-ounce ground beef patty on a pretzel roll with cheddar cheese, a bacon cheddar bratwurst, chopped candied pecans, iceberg lettuce, tomato, Sriracha bourbon sauce and chipotle sauce. “It was really fun,” said Lori Southerlend, owner of Grant’s Tasti Burgers and Tasti Chips, a family-based, second-generation company. “I just like the theme.” Fair admission is $16 for adults, $9 for ages 6-12, and $9 for ages 62 and older. Entry is free for ages 5 and younger. Find a daily events schedule at sdfair.com

Vinge was one of the speakers at the second program of a two-part series called “London: 2080,” May 25 hosted by the Arthur C. Clarke Center for the Imagination in Atkinson Auditorium at UC San Diego. Vinge was joined by architect Marjan Coletti, a teacher at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, who spoke via a transatlantic Internet hookup. Visual Art Professor Sheldon Brown, who is also the director of the Clarke Center, introduced each speaker and facilitated the dialogue. He said the series was created to give people an opportunity to speculate about what the future might be like and how we might organize public spaces in years to come, both here and in big international cities, like London. A concept to keep in mind, Brown said, is if and when we reach the state of “singularity,” when computer intelligence reaches the level of human intelligence and man literally joins forces with machine to think through problems. Coletti began by saying, it’s difficult to think about a future post-humanistic era of

computer/man interface, “but since architects are considered to be seismographs who sense the future,” he felt it his duty to try. Coletti showed a video clip from French architect Philippe Stark’s TED Talk, where Stark discussed the many types of architectural vision, from the profit-oriented cookie-cutter apartment complexes of Paris and Seoul to the genius-like cathedrals of Europe, which he said elevated civilization, but can no longer be built as they once were by master craftsmen. Coletti then turned to what he thinks is the first example of a futuristic megamall — Walt Disney’s Disneyland, built in 1952. He described the characteristics the highly malleable mall of the future might possess, “gelatinous, hybrid, jelly-like, kaleidoscopic, latent, emergent, mutant, neoplasmatic, ornamental, quirky, robotic, unpredictable, exuberant, zealous and poetic.” Next up, Vinge said, “When you think about the future it’s best to have a lot of possible scenarios at your disposal.” One of his is that people will own wearable computers, prosthetics, sensors, eye implants and “smart glasses,” which will help them perceive more of the world around them. Vinge believes public spaces, like malls, will be highly malleable or alterable, depending on the season or event. People will be able to tap into and use their wearable computational devices to create even greater changing physical and social worlds of

Both rich and poor will have equal access to the changing interiors and exteriors of co-created worlds that are part actual and part virtual, and expandable upon demand into multiplicities — in the same way children can create different objects with Lego bricks, Vinge predicted. The megamalls of the future will appeal to our cyborg post-human descendents and will replace current megamalls — Amazon, Google, and Ebay — where many people now do their shopping.
Artist Kirsten Zirngibl, in attendance, said she looks forward to the new malls where she can go shopping to “buy data because it would be fast and easier than downloading it online.” Another attendee wondered aloud if people might eventually want to escape the fantastic virtual worlds of the megamalls with a return to good, old-fashioned sensory experiences in real environments, like “walking barefoot at the water’s edge on the beach at La Jolla Shores!” Only time will tell.

Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast. Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking; it is a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-discipline and sacrifice. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is considered one of the 5 Pillars of Islam — five activities that shape a Muslim's life. Prayer occurs on a daily basis; pilgrimage is done once in a lifetime; charity and professing one's faith are ongoing; fasting the month of Ramadan is an annual observance.

In the Know
Speaker touts lifestyle changes for better health BY ASHLEY MACKIN cience says diet and exercise are keys to a healthy life. But Dr. Dorothy Sears, as a guest of the Howell Foundation, offered two ways to adjust diet and exercise habits for long-lasting improvements to well-being. At a luncheon lecture May 20 at La Jolla Country Club, the Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at UC San Diego, shared her research, the data it yielded, and her “lifestyle interventions.” The take-aways: it’s not what you eat, but when you eat it; and sit less. An advocate for lifestyle changes to supplement (or in some cases to replace) traditional medications, Sears explained that in a study of those with “pre-diabetes” (starting to experience metabolic problems or with diabetes in their family), researchers looked at the effectiveness of a drug intervention compared to lifestyle changes. The data suggested that a moderate diet modification — such as eating more fruits and vegetables, walking more, etc. — was associated with a 58 percent reduction in incidences of Type II Diabetes. Those who used medication saw a reduced risk of 38 percent. “So in this battle, lifestyle modification won,” she said.

Dr. Dorothy Sears, Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at UCSD, speaks to a full house during a luncheon at La Jolla Country Club. She was a guest of the Howell Foundation.
A ‘fast’ way to health
Sears is studying the effectiveness of intermittent fasting, particularly for long periods at night, using biological markers for certain cancers, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. “We studied large populations and found that those who eat during the night have increased risk of chronic disease,” she said. “We hear a lot about what’s healthy to eat — eat this, don’t eat that, count calories, look at nutrition labels — but what if you could eat whatever you wanted, just so long as it was at a certain time that you ate it?” Intermittent fasting, she explained, can mean fasting for one whole day per week; increasing the hours of not eating between dinner at night and breakfast the next morning; or engaging in a fast called the 5-2, where participants eat whatever you want for five days and then for two non-consecutive days participants only eat 500 calories. Focusing on “time-restricted” eating (only eating for certain hours during the day) Sears studied how the practice affected both mice and women. “In mice, we found the length of that nightly fasting period impacts health and is associated with better glucose control and decreased inflammation,” she said. In humans, “We looked at more than 2,500 women and we found that every three-hour increase in this fasting period of time during the night, yielded a reduced risk of having an elevated hemoglobin A1C (a marker of high glucose in the blood). So the longer the nighttime fasting, the lower the A1C.” In a similar study of breast cancer survivors, which Sears said was “the first time a human study has been able to demonstrate clinical outcome of cancer recurrence,” researchers looked at 2,300 women over seven years. “We know who got breast cancer after the start of the study and we know what they ate
Dr. Sears shares her ‘lifestyle interventions,’ with guests. Among them are time-restricted eating and sitting less! and when they ate it. We were able to ask about whether intermittent fasting affects breast cancer recurrence. We found that when women fasted for 13 hours during the night (for example, eating dinner at 7 and breakfast at 8) they had significantly reduced cancer recurrence,” she said. “So we’re excited about that.”
Sit on it … or better yet, don’t
Although little quantifiable data is available on the harmful effects of sitting for extended periods of time, Sears said she
wants to be the one to find it. “It’s true, across all ages, sitting too much is bad,” she said. “But the effects of sitting are under-studied. We do know that the length of uninterrupted sitting time is important and we need to find practical ways to break that up. But we don’t know how much (sitting) is too much, we don’t know what we should be doing when we’re not sitting, and we don’t know how to realistically change our behaviors.” To quote the American Medical Association, she said the final word is: “sit
less.” In a pilot study to gather empirical data, Sears said her team is looking at using a new device, taped to the thigh, that can read if you are sitting (it registers as horizontal) or standing (it registers as vertical), which they can look at throughout the day. “We found that every 10 additional sit-to-stands, going from a sitting posture to a standing posture and back down, the women had decreased inflammation and decreased insulin,” she said of the early results. “There’s a lot that we don’t know, but we’re committed to finding more information about that, and findings for real-world practical ways to interrupt sitting.” Because sitting involves a “folded position,” the torso being vertical and the thighs being horizontal, she said she’d like to see how sitting affects blood flow, and measure how frequently people should stand for maximum benefit and for how long. Using biological markers for diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease including glucose, insulin, blood pressure, heart rate, blood vessel functioning, Sears is working on a lab study while a colleague is working on a real-world study. “We need new knowledge, improved measurement, why sitting is bad, how to break it up and evidence-based support of recommendations because the current recommendations of standing once an hour or every 90 minutes are not backed by science yet,” she said. Shy of quantifiable data, Sears simply advised that we should “get up, stand up.” Sears’ presentation was part of the Howell Foundation speaker series, which focuses on women’s health, and named for its founder, Dr. Doris Howell. The next speaker will be Karen Possemato on “Unlocking the Power of the Genome,” Thursday, Aug. 25. For more information, visit howellfoundation.org

Boston shares quilt exhibit with San Diego Museum of Art
SARAVUTH NEOU
One of the 45 quilts on display through summer at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park.
FROM SDMA REPORTS An exhibition that explores sophisticated principles of color theory in the design of quilts from the 19th to the early 20th century, is on display through Sept. 4 at The San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park. “Quilts and Color from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,” features 45 quilts from the acclaimed Pilgrim/Roy Quilt Collection. The various sections focus on color contrasts, chromatic vibrations, mixtures, gradations and harmonies in the quilt designs, and examine innovative optical effects of shape and color, as well as creative variations on more traditional quilt patterns. The majority were made before 1900 by mostly anonymous women from Amish and Mennonite communities who sought an opportunity to express themselves artistically. While most of the designs adhere
to classic American quilting patterns, their bold compositions are comparable to the groundbreaking work of later 20th century Abstract Expressionist and Op Art pioneers. None of these quiltmakers had such training. Rather, they understood innately how to compose quilts with dynamic, pleasing, and challenging color combinations. ■ IF YOU GO: “Quilts and Color” will be accompanied by a range of programming, including a themed Culture & Cocktails (June 23), Family Day (July 3), Painting on Tap (July 28), Film in the Garden (Aug.1). The San Diego Museum of Art, 1450 El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego. Admission: $12. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, closed Wednesday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

‘Star of Bethlehem with Pomegranate Trees Quilt,’ circa 1850
R.I.P., UAG: Sept. 10, 1966 - June 2, 2016 Art Gallery would have celebrated its 50th anniversary this fall BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Sad news for art-lovers on and off the UC San Diego campus: The University Art Gallery, which would have celebrated its 50th anniversary this fall, is permanently closing June 2, reportedly to make room for more classrooms. It was not a complete surprise, since there was a “temporary” closure a year ago, but Visual Arts MFA candidates were readying their final exhibition for the gallery when they got the news. Thanks to an offer from the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, they moved the show to the museum’s downtown location, where it will remain through June 3. And Tae Hwang, half of the graduating Magpie Collective, organized one last exhibit at the soon-to-be-empty space, calling it “Dispossessed: A Call for Prayer and Protest.” On May 26, after about 100 people showed up for an afternoon protest march, somber-faced students and friends of the gallery came to walk through the closing installation, which looked like strings of white, slimmed-down Buddhist prayer flags draped around the room. Stamped on each strip of paper were the words: “University Art Gallery UCSD Sept. 10 1966 – June 2 2016.” “The room seems so much smaller now than my memory of all the shows that occurred in it,” said Richard Gleaves, who was manning the desk. “You can really transform a space by filling it up with art.” According to the UCSD Guardian, this will soon be the only UC campus without a gallery. Its last formal exhibition was the Visual Arts Department’s weeklong undergraduate art show, whose May 5 opening attracted more than 500 visitors.
Inside the Gallery See “Dossier Thalamus,” the exhibit by graduating VisArts MFA candidates, at MCASD downtown, 1001 Kettner Blvd., through June 3. Artists include Tae Hwang and MR Barnadas, aka Magpie Collective. Mention the show for free admission. —The University Art Gallery, founded in 1966, has had a long-standing commitment to new and diverse forms of artistic practice, hosting some of the earliest exhibitions of performance and installation art on the West Coast. It is deeply tied to the history of artistic innovation in Southern California and the border culture of the U.S. and Mexico. Source: visarts.ucsd.edu

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids? Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.
Father’s Day WEekend
Nightly Dinner Specials | June 17-19 | 5:30 p.m. Brunch Buffet | Sunday, June 19 | 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Treat Dad to a place of honor at the head of the table in celebration of Father’s Day. Hearty dishes including American Kobe Beef New York Steak will be served all weekend with June 18 and 19 also being High Tide Dinner nights! On Sunday, come early for our sumptious brunch buffet where you’ll be sure to find something to satisfy everyone.
There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting attention by wearing a visible hearing aid. This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manufactured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom-fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.
For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behind-the-ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.
Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss manufacturer Phonak, presents the new Virto V hearing aids.
Virtual function of the ear “Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech understanding, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom-fit solution.
See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine. If you are interested in finding out more about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and determine if the new Virto V technology is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet in-the-canal hearing solutions.
At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these state-of-the-art hearing aids. Call 1.888.454.4817 to book your complimentary evaluation today.

New soft, flexible boards intrigue surfers San Diego-based ‘Moda’ partners with Surf Diva to test its prototypes BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN reton Woo’s two passions have come together to help him create a surfboard that could change the sport altogether. The 38-year-old San Diego native, explained that he spent the first half of his life searching for waves. “I went to Australia and Indonesia, to Hawaii and Costa Rica,” Woo said. The second half, he spent sliding down mountain tops. “I lived in the mountains, worked in resorts, snowboarded a hundred days a year.” Since 2007, Woo has been trying to put together the best of surfing and snowboarding to make surfing easier, but it wasn’t until last year that he came up with the idea of building a foam surfboard over a snowboard. “I made a snowboard float,” Woo laughed. He pointed out that there is a trade-off with traditional surfboards between performance and maneuverability. “Flat boards are fast and rocker boards turn better, but my question is, why can’t your board be both?” Woo said. He used his talents to create a prototype, and eventually a brand to commercialize it, and Moda was born. “Surfboards and snowboards actually work in identical ways, given the differences between water and snow, but fundamentally, the principals are the same,” Woo said. However, surfboards are fixed, and snowboards flex. Woo wanted to build snowboard flexibility into surfboard construction. “Flex had to be the answer. But it took us many tries to find out what kind of flex,” Woo said. He found that the best way to make a surfboard flex is to use soft materials. He experimented with hybrids between a surfboard, a snowboard, and a body board. “We made our boards flex for performance, but then discovered flex made our boards more user-friendly,” he said. The result is a foam body board sealed over a wooden snowboard core that became a lot more wonderful than Woo initially planned. “(We encountered) all these serendipitous discoveries we didn’t plan for … Now we have all the benefits of soft construction. We have the safety, the durability and the low cost of soft construction, but with the performance advantages of flex,” he said. For instance, the surfer doesn’t have to pump for speed, and to turn the board “you just direct it to the desired direction and trust it will take you there,” he said. “You won’t know until you try it, that’s why we are trying to put it under people’s feet,” he said, inviting this reporter to try one out at La Jolla Shores on May 26. After our interview, I took the 6-foot prototype into the water. It was a fun, user-friendly experience. The conditions were not ideal, and I’m a novice surfer, yet I realized the advantages of a soft, flexible board under me. It was rough to go past the constant break of Shores’ waves with a highly floatable board — and one that was slightly too big for me. I found I couldn’t duck under the waves that broke right on my face. But once I passed the white wash, my experience vastly improved. Paddling around was fun and easy. Even lying on the board, I could sense its high maneuverability. It felt like a hybrid between surfing and boogie boarding, with the best of both worlds. It was highly enjoyable, easy and not scary, like a body board. And just when you start thinking ‘I wish I could stand on this thing,’ you pull yourself onto it and ride with the wave for as long as it lets you.

Surfboard entrepreneur Brenton Woo, founded Moda with his flexible surfboards Surf Diva Surf School in La Jolla Shores was the first company to collaborate with Woo. “Who better to test Moda boards than their coaches?” he said. To get the opinion of more experienced surfers, I contacted Surf Diva and spoke to Izzy Tihanyi about the Moda boards. “The instructors said the board has a really different feel to it; it’s a whole new way of experiencing the wave. It feels more like you are snowboarding on the wave, and the board fits into the curvature of the wave, it’s actually flowing with the curvature of the wave. I see a lot of potential with this new technology for the man-made wave or wave parks. As a surf school, we really like the fact that these are soft boards because they ensure safety,” Tihanyi said. However, this new technology is not yet adapted for newbies, Woo explained. “For someone from, like Kansas, who has never seen the ocean or has never tried to surf, this might not be the best way, because all they want to do is stand up. When the kids can paddle themselves, can already catch a wave themselves, then that’s when they’re going to find Moda a lot easier,” he said. Moda boards are $350 and can be ordered from modasurfboards.com

FROM MOZART’S SISTER, B1 up. I started researching her story, and found it fascinating. I really thought it needed telling, and since no one else seemed to be doing it, I felt I had to. It’s been my mission ever since.” It took two years of research, a year of writing, and the help of director Isaac Byrne to create the theater piece, which has won acclaim in cities like Vienna and London, where the wunderkinder performed, and Salzburg, where the Mozarts lived. It’s currently in New York again, where two other actresses, a German and a Brazilian, are taking turns in the role, trained by specialists in period movement and the language of fans. Milo will do one-night-only performances here and at San Luis Obispo’s Mozaic Festival in July, then it’s back to Vienna, where she first saw that life-changing painting in 2006. “The Other Mozart” is a chance to watch an unusual performance, learn some little-known socio-musical history, and listen to lovely music. “It’s so magical to hear the re-creation of how Nannerl might have heard the world,” Milo said. “And then there’s the dress! So gorgeous! Made by a designer friend of mine in Poland, and packable, too, so it can fit inside one suitcase! The show is a full theatrical experience, full of beauty and longing, and an emotional experience too, for me and the audience.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Other Mozart” takes the stage 7:30 p.m., Sunday, June 12 at Balboa Theatre, 868 4th Ave., downtown San Diego.

Globe tells a ‘Tokyo Fish Story’
Playing through June 26 at The Old Globe BY DIANA SAENGER Playwright Kimber Lee (“To the Yellow House”) said she looked inward when creating her unusual and charming “Tokyo Fish Story,” directed by May Adrales at The Old Globe through June 26. “When I was in college, my parents had a little café and it was non-stop work,” she said. “I love food and eating sushi, but I was completely ignorant of the tradition behind the craft, so I first came to sushi as a consumer and a fan. I read some books and saw documentary films, and the more I learned about it, the more I became fascinated by the minute attention to detail and the amount of effort, forethought and concentration that goes into producing this small piece of food that is meant to be consumed in that moment.” Her new-found knowledge reminded her of the elements of theater. “Making sushi is just like

Her play is set in Japan at the restaurant owned by Master Sushi Chef Koji (James Saito), considered one of the greatest in Tokyo. But new trends and techniques are drawing his customers elsewhere. He has only his skilled protégé Takashi (Tim Chiou) to help him, but will Koji
give Takashi the freedom he needs? “The mentor and protégé aspect really intrigued me,” Lee said. “Takashi is incredibly gifted with a long experience with sushi, however, his abilities reach beyond the forms and restrictions that exist in Koji’s world. He is grappling with how to honor his father, but at the same time, have the growth that happens to others in the

restaurant, to do something very beautiful. “I find in some relationships, people who are very close can communicate with each other without even speaking. It’s a communication through just a look, and it’s always fascinating to me. It’s an interest of mine to come up with ways of putting that on stage, so all of us can be in on the meaning of that look. I find this to be very powerful.”
Lee said she’s happy about working with director Adrales. “We’ve known each other in New York for a few years now,” Lee said. “She’s directed a lot of work for playwright friends of mine. She’s fantastic, and she’s also someone The Old Globe was really excited to work with. All the timing worked out great.” The cast includes: Tina Chilip (Ama Miyuki and Woman), Tim Chiou (Takashi), Raymond Lee (Nobu), James Saito (Koji); and Jon Norman Schneider (Tuna Dealer Apprentice, Oishi, Toru, Yuji, Daisuke and Hirayama). In this production, Lee is excited about the use of real fish. “Anyone who likes a good story about family will enjoy this show,” she said. “Because although the situation seems to be very particular, detailed and set in Tokyo, the restaurant and those kinds of things have a push/pull of love and frustration. All the similar stuff we have with our own families is something that anybody can relate to.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Tokyo Fish Story” runs through June 26 at the White Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

Tips for designing an outdoor ‘room’ IN THE GARDEN
BY MELINDA MYERS o matter your budget, space or gardening experience, you can design an outdoor entertainment area for you, your family and friends to enjoy. Start by gathering ideas from magazines, the Internet and websites like Gardener’s Supply Company for examples of outdoor garden spaces. Next, select an area that is convenient and suitable for your outdoor entertaining. Define the space using outdoor rugs and furniture or tall planters to serve as the walls for your garden room. A bistro set and a couple of chairs makes for an intimate space on a balcony. Those with more room may want to include an outdoor wicker and teak dining set. Fill the planters with ornamental grasses, papyrus, cannas and other flowering plants to create a living screen. Add a splash of color and flavor to the space by growing herbs and vegetables combined with flowers in these and additional planters in your garden space. Include ingredients for your favorite drinks, appetizers and meals. Your guests will enjoy plucking a few mint leaves for their iced tea or mojito, harvesting fresh greens from a Salad Garden Bar and
N
dressing up the meal with a few pesticide-free edible flowers like nasturtiums, calendula and daylilies. Busy gardeners and those that travel may want to try self-watering pots. These containers have built-in water reservoirs to provide a constant flow of water to the plants. This means you need to water less often, while still enjoying healthy and productive plants. Add some height and focal points with topiaries. Purchase a sculpted evergreen or train vines up a twist topiary frame to create a bit of living art. And don’t forget to add some garden art and statuary. Extend your enjoyment with outdoor lighting. A few votive candles in old punch cups are perfect for intimate gatherings in small spaces. Add a bit more illumination with the help of solar illuminated planters, solar deck lights, post caps, and solar cubes and spheres. No buried electric lines or extension cords needed. Use these lights to lead you down the path to your garden space or brighten the space for an evening of fun. Once you get started, you will be looking for more opportunities for that quiet getaway, outdoor kitchen and more ways to enjoy your garden. — Melinda Myers has more than 30 years of horticulture experience and has written “Small Space Gardening.” melindamyers.com

Marathon in North Korea beckons La Jolla runner BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN 0-year-old La Jollan Gloria McCoy finished first in her division (women ages 70-90, half marathon) at the Pyongyang Marathon, April 10 in North Korea. “I was only person in my division, so I was first and only,” she laughed during a phone interview with the La Jolla Light. But that was only the first of a series of astonishing events she said she witnessed during her trip. Americans weren’t allowed to enter North Korea until 2010, when the Asian country lifted the restriction. However, the State Department “strongly urges” U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to North Korea due to the serious risk of long-term detention. On its website, 1.usa.gov/1sdvTYe, the federal agency says that 10 citizens have been arrested in the country in the past few years. Despite the warning, McCoy traveled to North Korea to run its capital’s half marathon. For four days, she only spoke to guides or other travelers. Exiting the hotel where they were staying was forbidden without a guide. Their visits and stops were limited and timed to the second. “We were very guarded,” McCoy said. “We had two North Korean guides for our group of 15, and we were always with a guide.” She said the group visited all the buildings any tourist would want to see in a new country — a library, a science center, a museum — and each contained large pictures of Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung, father and grandfather of Kim Jong-un, the supreme leader of the Democratic Republic of the

What differenciated these from other public buildings around the world is that travelers are strongly encouraged to pay their respects to the leadership. “As we walked in, our guides told us that our group was to stop and bow to the leaders,” McCoy said. She explained that she first heard of the trip opportunity from a friend at the Travelers Century Club, an organization that brings together people who have visited 100 countries or more. As an experienced traveler and a staunch runner (she finished third in her division of the La Jolla Half Marathon), McCoy decided to register through the Koryo

Group and visit the country only 100 Americans vacation in every year. For the first time, during her visit, travelers were allowed to enter North Korea with recording devices. “They allowed cameras and GoPros, but no journalistic-type cameras and no systems with GPS,” McCoy clarified. She said she only saw the streets of Pyongyang from the shuttle that showed them around the city. She saw no restaurants, no stores. The only places to dine were inside the hotel. “The streets were new streets; absolutely spotless with no there debris of any kind … no graffiti ... and everything was clean. There aren’t many cars there, people get around in buses and in a beautiful new subway system,” McCoy reported. The big race consisted of a 6.2 miles-long loop around the city center. The 10K-ers run it once, half marathoners twice, and marathon runners four times. The event’s kickoff at the May Day Stadium (the largest in the world with a capacity for 150,000 people) was attended by 90,000 North Koreans, McCoy calculated, who cheered on the 1,800 international runners. “All the runners went to the center of the field and the applause from the crown was amazing,” she said. Along the circuit, a uniformed guard was stationed at every 20 yards, McCoy said. “People were doing high-fives, there were people along the entire route of the marathon. They were very supportive and cheering,” McCoy said.
‘Women and children dressed in western-type clothes,’ McCoy said. The marathon participants were instructed not to take any pictures of a section that was under construction. “They didn’t want any pictures of any place that wasn’t perfect,” she said. Would McCoy recommend fellow La Jollans visit North Korea? “Not really,” she sighed. “Because you are just so guarded and guided that you really don’t have an opportunity to meet the people to understand their culture. There is a difference between a tourist and a traveler … I did not see their everyday life, I did not have that kind of an opportunity in North Korea.” North Korea tours, including the Pyongyang Marathon are organized by koryogroup.com

FROM SYMPHONY & CHORUS, B1 Whitman’s extended poem was written in 1865 at the time to help ease the broken hearts of Americans who’d just lost their president, Abraham Lincoln, to an assassin’s bullet. Hindemith’s musical composition sought to provide the same catharsis for a nation that had just lost President Franklin D. Roosevelt, another wartime president. “Lilacs,” David explained, both Whitman’s poem and Hindemith’s work, is also about those lost in wars and those left behind. The world remains in need of comfort and understanding. “I think that any great music written by a first-rate composer and with a first-rate libretto stays relevant,” said David, “just like any great piece of art. It’s so damned good. Beyond that, I’m afraid to say it, but I think we’re nowhere near finished with war and all of the things that this poetry reminds us of and that the music helps us feel.” Baritone Darren is also a high school English teacher in New York and brings with him both a literary and a musical perspective on “Lilacs.” “The piece is really unique because there aren’t a lot of successful settings of Whitman. The first time I heard it was in my teens and I was really struck by how perfectly the text is set musically. I love literature. Possibly I’m more of a literary person than a musical person, and so the text and the text setting attracted me to the piece more than anything.” From the vocalist’s standpoint, Darren added, performing “Lilacs” is “about making the diction as clear as possible and the phrasing as lyrical as possible so that you get
Mezzo-soprano Janelle DeStefano out of the way of the poet’s work and the composer’s work.” Besides both father’s and son’s appreciation of Hindemith’s piece is the one they feel for each other. “I really wanted to do this,” said Darren, by phone from New York. “I know my father is, in my mind, always a young man and that he’s a big presence in my life.” David can say the same of his son. “I learned from him (Darren) things that I had not fully learned about society and about how to be an individual. It’s been the same musically.” ■ IF YOU GO: La Jolla Symphony & Chorus performs Paul Hindemith’s “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d: a Requiem for those we love” and Benjamin Britten’s “An American Overture,” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 4 and 2 p.m. Sunday, June 5 at Mandeville Auditorium, UCSD campus.

Wonderful cast relives history of ‘Camp David’ peace talks
I
t’s not often we get to go back in history to experience notable events as they happened, but through the magic of great theater, an opportunity is possible with The Old Globe Theatre’s production of “Camp David.” The play explores the 13 days in 1978 that President Jimmy Carter, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Prime Minister of Israel Menachem Begin spent together at Camp David (the country retreat of the President of the United States, located in wooded hills about 62 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.) working on the Camp David Accords peace treaty. It was a stressful time for Carter, his advisors, and his wife, Rosalynn, as they dealt with the two foreign leaders and their disputes. Israel’s occupation of the entire Sinai Peninsula gained in the 1967 Six-Day War, also meant it had possession of the West Bank, Gaza and the Golan Heights, which was not alright with Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat. The new play penned by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lawrence Wright and directed by Arena Stage’s artistic director, Molly Smith, wonderfully unfolds this dilemma with a great cast. Richard Thomas portrays Carter. He’s first shown in the Florida woods with his wife Rosalynn (Hallie Foote) as they
bicker back and forth about what the President is facing. He sums it up as workable, she says it’s impossible. Sadat (Khaled Nabawy) saunters in as Carter stands and welcomes him. They are very good friends, and Sadat is anxious about making the treaty. The next day, Begin (Ned Eisenberg) arrives. They learn he has no plan, but is ready to listen to offers. For days, they argue back and forth with Rosalynn – hearing the heated conversations – occasionally stopping by with refreshments or blurting out a word of advice. One day after another goes by as the trio discuss faith, history and peace. But no one seems to be on the same page. The set design by Walt Spangler, production design by Jeff Sugg, and lighting by Pat Collins, draws in audience members as if they are sitting in the middle of the action. Watching Thomas wheel in and out of the scenes in the golf cart brings laughs several times during the performance. Considering the huge amount of dialogue they had to learn and remember, all four actors are convincing in their roles and keep the audience’s attention throughout. Thomas never stalls in his challenges to his guests, occasionally he’s very direct, other times wallowing in slight despair. Foote is

History has noted that Rosalynn had a lot to do with the outcome of this event. Nabawy settles into his character quite well. Sadat knows what he needs to get before signing the agreement, but after so many days, anyone would be ready to throw their hands up in the air and leave. Carter challenges Begin over and over again about his refusals to sign a peace treaty, and one would think the real Begin was on stage as
Eisenberg serves the role well, stating over and over again that he’s leaving and not signing the treaty. Director Smith does a super job in staging the production. “Camp David” is a great play to see, to experience the incredible talents at The Old Globe and the actors in this play. ■ IF YOU GO: “Camp David” runs through June 19 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Shiley Stage at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Home Interiors—Choosing your Materials from the Ground Up In February’s column, I discussed what to consider when purchasing materials such as roofing, siding, windows, and doors, and landscaping materials for the exterior of your building project. This month, the process shifts from the criteria of primary function, style, and quality to a set of more personalized and exciting decisions to be found when selecting your interior materials. Because interior materials are more about you, the decision making process becomes more personal and therefore more complex. Decisions, both large and small, influence cost, style, and quality when selecting
surface materials for flooring, countertops, and walls. Appointing architectural details, such as moldings, staircases, railings, builtin bookcases, and entertainment centers are details integral to the structure, while fixtures, cabinetry, appliances, and hardware are part of the furniture that will influence your overall budget and stylistic outcome of your home. Cost, style, and quality are three of the many factors that come into play when shopping for materials for your home building project. Therefore, it is best to plan carefully for this in your initial budget, as there are broad differences in prices for these materials. Our strategy at GDC is to appoint the entire project prior to breaking ground. Creating allowances in this design stage is critical to maintaining your budget and will provide for a cohesive design and smooth schedule. Whether your project is a traditional or contemporary style home, the material choices that contribute to the overall style of your home are endless. So let’s start from the
ground up and pose the question. How does you choose a floor surface? When shopping for flooring of any kind, you can visit showrooms to view completed floor sections and take samples home for review. This is true of wood, stone, tile, and laminate flooring, which all come in different surface finishes, colors, species, and price points. Characteristics vary dramatically with flooring, but durability, scale, and pattern are key factors to consider when appointing this material throughout the home. Today many homeowners are electing to put wood in the kitchen areas, as a continuum of the living room; however, tile and stone surfaces are more commonly used for their durability. Depending on your preference, tile and stone materials come in multiple sizes, finishes, and colors. There are many options to choose from, and these materials are often tied into wall and countertop selections in the bath and kitchen areas. A primary design consideration when
selecting a floor, no matter what material you choose, is the pattern. Wood planks come in sizes from 2 – 8” wide by 4’ – 10’ in length. Engineered wood, which is a 1/8” veneered wood species adhered to a board, comes in board lengths and can also be selected in a variety of patterns, such as herringbone, parquet, Versailles, and other decorative designs. Tile and stone flooring are typically found in a square format, although oblong, rectangular, and decorative shapes are also available. Here the application, size, and configuration of the room play an import role in the selection process. Scale is also an important characteristic to consider when selecting materials for your floor. Depending on the room, flooring should be considered as the base of your interior design, and the proper scale of decorative pattern, size, and shape are critical. In the next column, we will look at how interior architectural features contribute to the overall design and look of your home.

Irreverent love story plays out at Cygnet Theatre BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN “Stupid F**king Bird” onstage through June 19 at Cygnet Theatre in Old Town, confronts playgoers with a bold, irreverent and contemporary version of Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull.” Playwright Aaron Posner, who also wrote “The Chosen,” an adaptation based on Chaim Potok’s 1967 novel of the same name and “My Name Is Asher Lev” (2009), based on Potok’s 1972 novel, premiered “Stupid F**king Bird” in 2013 with the Wholly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington D.C., and it’s been performed across America since. Directed by Rob Lutfy, “Stupid F**king Bird” features a complicated love story between an actress, an actor, his mother, and a renowned novelist. “It’s a play about love in all its forms — passionate, lustful, betrayed, Shakespearean,” Lutfy said. The cast features Ro Boddie (Con), Karole Foreman (Emma), Francis Gercke (Trig), Walter Murray (Sorn), Brian Rickel (Dev), Rachel Esther Tate (Nina), and Jacque Wilke (Mash). Lutfy said that the cast is “like a family”; he went to high school and college with Boddie, and Tate, who was recommended by the playwright, is his partner of five years. Rated R for suggestive themes, strong language, sexual content and nudity, the play doesn’t hide its irreverent nature. Each act is presented in a different style of storytelling. The characters are also characters in a play within the play. “They are ‘real’ people living the story of the play,” Lutfy said, explaining that the meta-theatrics have been one of the

Cast and crew: Rachel Esther Tate (Nina), Ro Boddie (Con), Karole Foreman (Emma), director Rob Lutfy, Jacque Wilke (Mash), Francis Gercke (Trig), Brian Rickel (Dev) and Walter Murray (Sorn) most challenging staging features. Cygnet chose this play in line with an ongoing conversation with its audience about forms of storytelling. Lutfy said, “Early in the season our audiences saw Noel Coward’s ‘The Vortex,’ which Coward called his ‘attempt at Chekhov.’ We then took the torch farther by exploring the limits of form and naturalism in, ‘When the Rain Stops Falling.’ This was followed by ‘The Rocky Horror Show,’ which exemplified what makes live storytelling thrilling: the audience is here, now with us and is just as important to the art making as

the actors onstage. “This takes us to “Stupid F**king Bird” — new forms of storytelling, deconstruction, and the legacy of the second most produced writer behind Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov.” The play’s deconstruction of “The Seagull” is an attempt to bring symbolism to the ground, and portray the simplicity of everyday living. “I get tired of the melodrama and symbolism that I see in so many Chekhov productions. Chekhov fought against meaning, he wanted only to present the messiness of life,” Lufty said.
RELIGION & spirituality La Jolla Presbyterian Church
However, Lufty explained that ingrained in its entangled storytelling, “Stupid F**king Bird”0 is “purely” a love story. “Posner isn’t interested in black and white or any simplified way to label people. This play is about the mess of life and how important our day to day is to the inertia of our lives. These are real people with huge passions struggling with the ‘actually, actually’ of existence,” he concluded. ■ IF YOU GO: “Stupid F**king Bird” runs through June 19 at Cygnet Theatre, 4040 Twiggs St. Tickets: From $36.

Campaign Finances Report
Here’s how much District 1 City Council candidates have raised in their runs for the seat The latest campaign finance disclosures were released Friday, May 27 by the District 1 candidates and Political Action Committees (PACs) on their behalf. The statements cover the period between April 24 and May 21, 2016. During this Period, the top fundraising candidate Ray Ellis was almost caught up by his opponent Barbara Bry, $36,770 to $32,508.05. However, Ellis almost doubles Bry in the amount raised in the calendar year, $212,703.33 to $115,731.05. Bry personally contributed to her campaign $4,000 this past period, totaling $35,610 in the election. PACs lack the regulation constraints of a candidate’s own campaign fundraising, such as donation limits. PACs can’t contribute to a candidate’s campaign, or even have conversations with the candidate they benefit, but they can spend on their behalf. Both Bry and Ellis have PACs raising money for them, and spending it on polls, mailers, advertisement and campaign signs. The Lincoln Club, a pro-business political action group in San Diego created the PAC “Neighborhoods. Not Stadiums. A Political Action Committee in Support of Ray Ellis for
Council 2016.” Also, it donated the $100,000 that forms the total reported contributions of the group. Most of the expenses, $61,384, reflect online advertising and campaign literature sent to voters’ homes. The “Coastal Communities for a Fair Economy supporting Ray Ellis for Council 2016 sponsored by and with major funding from the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce Political Action Committee and the Lincoln Club” PAC raised $79,000 in this period and $212,500 in the calendar year. The San Diego Chamber of Commerce is the biggest contributor to this PAC with $55,500 given in the calendar year, but others such as the Building Industry Association of San Diego ($30,000), the Infrastructure PAC of the Associated General Contractors ($20,000), the San Diego Restaurant and Beverage PAC ($30,000), and The Lincoln Club have given to benefit Ellis’ chances on June 7. The “Coastal Communities…” PAC reports spending $62,387 in this period and double that amount in the calendar year. Their current cash balance was set at $100,908. The “Committee to Support Prop I,
Barbara Bry, and Justin DeCesare Sponsored by Alliance San Diego Mobilization Fund” PAC raised most of its funds in the last period, a total of $105,000. It reports spending $12,560 among both candidates. The contributors of this PAC are California trade unions. For instance, the Alliance San Diego Mobilization Fund San Diego contributed $ 28,872, the CA Works: Assembly Speaker Emeritus Toni Atkins Ballot Measure Committee $25,000, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 569 Candidate PAC $25,000. The least spending PAC of this election was “Citizens for Good Government Supporting Barbara Bry for City Council 2016,” which submitted a report for the April 24-May 3 period. In the whole calendar year, the PAC raised $1,568.45 from a single donor (San Diego Forward), and spent most of those funds in Deane & Company, a political advisory company based in Sacramento. Bruce Lightner has raised a total of $1,500 in his campaign, and all of it in two loans to himself from his company Lightner Engineering. He has spent $713.30 mostly on voter lists. The remaining two candidates, Kyle Heiskala and Louis Rodolico don’t report any fundraising activities or expenditures. Want to learn more? Visit static.netfile.com/agency/csd

Salvation Army names Willis Allen realtor Kerry Appleby Payne ‘Woman of Dedication’ FROM WILLIS ALLEN REPORTS Willis Allen Real Estate congratulates Kerry Appleby Payne on being named a Salvation Army “Woman of Dedication” for 2016. The award was presented to Kerry at a recent luncheon at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Kerry’s brother and real estate partner, Scott, and her father, Addison, escorted her to the event. Kerry was one of 14 women honored for their service and dedication to the community. This was the 51st year for the charity event, one of the longest running in San Diego County. It raises funds for the Salvation Army’s SD Centre City Corps Community Center and various Salvation Army programs throughout the county. “My parents are my role models for volunteerism and taking care of family, friends and neighbors,” Kerry said. “A day doesn’t go by when they aren’t calling, driving, entertaining or reaching out to others.” She pointed out that Willis Allen Real Estate, which holds community involvement as one of its core values, is a good fit for her both professionally and personally. “I am proud to represent a company that has a synergistic view about the importance of giving back.” As a member of the Junior League of San Diego, Kerry served as treasurer of the annual rummage sales, Encore Fashion Shows and the JLSD Board of Directors. Additionally, she served as president of The Bishop’s School Alumni Association and on
The Bishop’s School board. She is is a member of the “Fleurs de League” Garden Club and the USC Trojan League of San Diego. She’s also been active on the Barnes Tennis Center Foundation board and led a private capital campaign that raised Kerry Appleby Payne $650,000 to fund the Cathedral Catholic Tennis Center in memory of her neighbor and fellow tennis player, Jane Johnson, who died from ALS. As a Rancho Santa Fe resident, Kerry shares her time and resources locally with The Nativity Catholic Church/School, Just in Time for Foster Youth and Helen Woodward Animal Center, where her passion for dogs led her to twice co-chair the animal center’s annual “Spring Fling” gala.” Kerry really doesn’t let any grass grow under her feet where charity work or her clients are concerned,” said her branch manager, Jane Dreher. “She is an inspiration and we are happy to add our congratulations on this outstanding award.” Kerry can be reached at (858) 204-7920 and visit applebyfamilyrealestate.com
