Town Council forum June 9 to address sea lion situation BY ASHLEY MACKIN frustrated La Jolla Town Council will host another community forum to address what it is calling “The Crisis at The Cove,” caused by “the recent occupation of the popular beach by California sea lions.” The hearing will take place at the council’s meeting
A
5 p.m. Thursday, June 9 at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. A press release announcing the forum states, “La Jolla business owners and residents have long complained that the La Jolla Cove has been a source of foul odors emanating from sea lion and bird waste. Now swimmers and city lifeguard staff
are informing the public that The Cove’s environmental problems have escalated due to the ever-expanding population of sea lions occupying the sandy beach in addition to the rocky area east of The Cove that, up until recently, seemed to be the sea lions preferred spot. SEE SEA LIONS, A7
Fundraiser set for tennis court upgrades at La Jolla High BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN When Jack McGrory heard the rumor six months ago that La Jolla High School tennis courts were going to be closed to the public, he launched a campaign with other residents to get them back. “I was concerned, and obviously a lot of other tennis players were concerned ... those tennis courts have had a very long story of public use,” McGrory said. “My kids grew up playing on those courts before they actually went to the high school. The courts are a very important part of the whole tennis
infrastructure in the La Jolla community,” he said. With the blessing of the La Jolla High School Foundation, McGrory started a fundraising campaign to improve the high school tennis courts for all, which has thus far has produced $23,000. The goal is $75,000, and to achieve that number, the group is hosting an event 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 15 at La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Tickets are $10. Food will be offered and drinks will be available for purchase. “We’re going to put a lot of SEE TENNIS COURT, A7

Three candidates vie for planning board seat BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Community Planning Association (LJCPA) will hold a special election during its July meeting, to fill a vacancy left by a trustee who resigned due to health issues. At the June 2 LJCPA meeting, John Shannon, Shelia Palmer and Claude-Anthony Marengo announced their candidacies for the seat. LJCPA president Cindy Greatrex explained the election will run 3-7 p.m. Thursday, July 7 at the Rec Center. “Only current LJCPA members will be allowed to vote and proxy voting is not allowed. You must provide proof of identity with a photo ID,” she said. “Upon closing the polls, the ballots will be counted and the tally will be presented to me as soon as practical and I will certify and announce the results during the meeting.” Each candidate was given two minutes to introduce themselves, which Shannon and Palmer took advantage of. Marengo submitted a candidate’s statement, as he was not present. Information on all three candidates can be found at lajollacpa.org Shannon, who joked that he “practiced” his speech to get the timing right, said he works in La Jolla and believes “our greatest responsibility is to take an active role in bettering our surroundings.” That philosophy brought him into community service years ago. Having spent eight years on the Pacific Beach Planning Group (four as chair), Shannon is a member of La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group and several other city ad hoc committees. “As a longtime member of La Jolla Cove

Candidate Sheila Palmer says she sees a conflict between residential interests and people making a profit out of property.
Candidate John Shannon says ‘our greatest responsibility is to take an active role in bettering our surroundings.’
Swim Club, I’m passionate about preserving the natural beauty and accessibility of our natural coastline, supporting healthy vibrant, walkable communities, and supporting local small businesses,” he said. “I have a great interest in understanding, anticipating and heading off problems before they start. If chosen to serve, I will continue my commitment to bettering La Jolla.” Palmer, a La Jolla resident and business owner for more than 40 years, said the greatest difficulty she sees is the conflict between “residential interests and people making a profit out of property. “I think we can convince both sides that there isn’t an antagonist there. Similar communities have expensive properties but
have not jeopardized their integral qualities. We would be 100 percent better off if we didn’t have this constant antagonism between people involved in investment real estate … and their neighbors. I plan to make this my course of work.” Marengo, a principal with Marengo-Morton Architects, has lived in La Jolla for 40 years and is a homeowner and business owner. His service commitments include: past president, past vice president, and past treasurer of LJCPA; past chair of the Coastal Development Permit Review committee (now known as DPR committee); member of the La Jolla Planned District Ordinance committee; member of the Mayors Task Force for parking in La Jolla; vice
How does proposition 60 and 90 provide tax savings to you? Propositions 60 and 90 may result in significant tax savings for seniors 55 and older as it allows the adjusted base year value of the original (sold) property to be transferred to the newly purchased or constructed home if eligibility requirements are met with some exceptions. A transfer of the lower property tax base may only be done once and the homeowner must buy and sell within two years. Proposition 60 allows transfers of base year values within the same county. Proposition 90 allows for the transfer of base year values within the following counties; El Dorado, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardo, San Diego, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Ventura.

In other LJCPA news: ■ Klein project OK’d: After an hour of discussion, the Klein Residence at 2585 Calle de Oro in La Jolla Shores was approved. Originally presented to LJCPA in February, La Jolla’s Permit Review Committee determined findings could not be made to approve the requested Coastal Development Permit and Site Development Permit to demolish the single dwelling unit to construct a new 10,938-square foot two-story residence with attached garage. However, after communications with neighbors (many of whom were at the meeting to support the new design) and architect Paul Benton explaining the revisions and how they addressed committee concerns, LJCPA approved the plans.

If you have a complaint about something, you need to get involved, and I guess you can say I like to stay involved. I wish to put my years of experience to good use to help our community. Please vote for me.” The seat available terms out in 2018. In addition to these three candidates, write-in candidates will be allowed, but ballots containing more than one vote will not be counted.

La Jolla architect Paul Benton shows revised renderings for the Klein Residence project. ■ Coming next month: Pulled from the consent agenda, two items are docketed for the July meeting — discussion about the “Demos Gracias” mural in La Jolla Shores and a request to eliminate the two-hour parking in front of 6626 and 6628 La Jolla Boulevard between Kolmar and Rosemont streets. The latter was approved by La Jolla’s Traffic & Transportation advisory group last month. ■ UCSD working group: It was decided that three LJCPA trustees —Greatrex, Helen Boyden and Dolores Donovan — will sit on the working group formed to better communication between UC San Diego and La Jolla and University City. Noting several projects in the pipeline, UCSD planner Anu Delouri said, “This (working group) is to help us streamline the communication effort because there is a lot happening and at these meetings, I can give
snapshots, but it’s hard to provide in-depth understanding of all the construction and everything else happening on campus.” An inaugural meeting was slated for later this month, and reports will be given as appropriate. ■ Website update: Although the current LJCPA website is “fabulous and amazing,” said chair Greatrex, a new site is being developed. “We’re going to archive the information on our current website publicly as lajollacpaarchive.org and as of this month, launch a new lajollacpa.org that is more user-friendly, so any of us can update it when needed.” — Reporter’s Note: At press time, LJCPA chair Cindy Greatrex contacted La Jolla Light to state that Bob Whitney would also be running for a seat, although he did not speak at the June meeting nor submit a candidate statement. lajollacpa.org

Visitors’ naivete near marine mammals prompts Public Service Announcement on YouTube from NOAA.
NOAA issues PSA on safe way to view marine mammals Responding to reports of sightseers getting “dangerously close to marine mammals in the Children’s Pool area” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released a
Public Service Announcement last week with guidelines on the best way to enjoy the marine mammals found at La Jolla beaches. “This PSA informs those visiting the beach to avoid getting too close to seals or sea lions. … By giving animals adequate space to rest and recover, we are protecting them as much as ourselves and our pets,” said Justin Viezbicke, NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region stranding coordinator. Among the PSA’s admonishments: Keep your distance, you’re too close if an animal starts to stare, fidget or flee; Seals on land are especially wary and may rush into the water or abandon their pups, threatening their survival; Keep pets away and on leash, pets can disturb or harm wildlife or separate mothers from their offspring. Press material goes on to inform that harbor seals and sea lions come up on sand to rest, modulate their body temperature, nurse their young or give birth: “Although they may appear docile they can, like other wild animals, bite and carry diseases that may be contagious to pets.” Sea lions and harbor seals are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and it is a federal offense to disturb them or do anything that may make them change their behaviors. A video version of PSA is available on YouTube by searching “Share the Shore” or “Share the Shore: Give seals and sea lions space public service announcement.”

Sea Lion ‘Crisis’ Timeline
■ May 28, 2013: Responding to citizens’ requests to reduce the noxious odors in the Village emanating from The Cove (which at this time everyone believes is due to cormorant guano), Mayor Bob Filner announces that the city hired Blue Eagle Distribution to clean the excrement from the rocks. The Blue Eagle product contains seven, lab-cultured microbes that feed on the waste, leaving only a chalky substance behind. “The biggest risk we have in the siutation is the sea lions moving higher up on the rocks, being more of an impediment,” said Keith Merkel, supervising biologist. A second phase starts Sept. 24. ■ January 2014: In another effort to reduce the noxious odors from The Cove, now believed to be due to sea lion waste on the bluffs, a gate goes into the railing to allow pedestrian access. The intent is have more human presence diminish the number of sea lions on the rarely-rinsed rocks, and encourage the pinnipeds to spend more time in the water and on lower ocean-rinsed rocks. ■ February 2015: The City of San Diego hires pinniped expert Doyle Hanan of Hanan and Associates, Inc., to evaluate and propose a solution to the situation. More than $24,000 is set aside so Hanan can, “study and identity potential opportunities for changing the behavior or haul-out conditions of the sea lion colony now expanding along the La Jolla coastline,” and file a report with the city. The results have been considered “pending” ever since. ■ March 2015: A 5-year-old boy is bitten by a sea lion at La Jolla Cove. The boy’s father reportedly lets him approach a group of sea lions to pet one, when an adult sea lion turns and bites the child on the cheek. The boy’s father declines medical coverage, but later takes him to the hospital.
■ March 27, 2015: A Superior Court judge rejects claims against the City of San Diego contained in a lawsuit filed by La Jolla business owners and citizens who sued the city for public officials’ failure to rid La Jolla Cove of its pervasive odor from bird and marine mammal waste. Confirming his previous tentative ruling, Judge Timothy Taylor granted the city’s motion for summary judgment in the lawsuit filed two years ago by Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement (CONA). Its pro-bono lawyer, Norm Blumenthal plans to appeal the decision. ■ April 2015: La Jolla Town Council hosts its first sea lion forum to get a better understanding of the biology and behavior of the animals, and meets with the Citizens for Odor Nuisance Abatement group suing the city for failure to act on the pervasive stench. ■ Mid-April 2015: La Jolla Parks & Beaches advisory group gives the city until May 30 to address growing concerns. Calling it “an emergency waiting to happen,” the board presses the city to install some sort of mechanism to keep sea lions from moving off the beach; conduct regular cleanups of the stairs, deck and walkway areas; and institute a monitoring program of beach inspection and sand cleaning. ■ July 2015: San Diego Park & Recreation director Herman Parker responds to La Jolla Parks & Beaches request with a letter explaining how the listed concerns were being addressed. Among his comments, “The city has engaged Doyle A. Hanan, Ph.D. of Hanan and Associates, Inc., to monitor the sea lion population at The Cove area. Based on this ongoing work, the city will look for opportunities to address issues that may arise from the sea lion population. Additionally, funding was allocated in the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget to begin work to develop a coastal

marine life management plan for the area that will address the interaction of people, animal and marine life in the area. The activity of sea lions will be part of that plan.” ■ January 2016: Then La Jolla Town Council President Steve Haskins announces at La Jolla Community Center, a rolling barrier plan to keep the sea lions off the bluffs. The proposal calls for the installation of metal cables across key access points along the bluffs with rolling plastic cylinders to keep the sea lions from gaining enough traction to climb onto the rocks. Their alternative would be to rest on the lower rocks, which are washed by the tides. (Note: Since then, sea lions increasingly haul-out on the beach at La Jolla Cove, quickly making it their habit to rest on the sand, rocks, stairs and benches.) ■ March 2016: La Jolla Town Council hands over the rolling barrier plans to Mayor Kevin Faulconer. His office reports it will need to wait for the results of Hanan’s report to see if the barrier proposal is feasible. ■ May 2016: The San Diego County Department of Public Health posts Water Quality Advisory signs at The Cove, cautioning swimmers to enter at their own risk. The signs read: “Warning! Contact with this water may cause illness. Bacteria levels exceed health standards.” ■ May 31, 2016: Due to the bacteria contamination in Cove waters, La Jolla Cove Swim Club announces it will cancel the 100th anniversary of its annual Rough Water Swim, set for September. (See letter, A23.) ■ June 1, 2016: La Jolla Light learns from Alex Bell of the county communications department that, “the most recent water quality advisory was lifted in late May, and that is when the swim advisory signs were removed. The county tests the water regularly, and found that enough samples meet state health standards.”

People and pinnipeds at The Cove will be discussed at the 5 p.m. Thursday, June 9 La Jolla Town Council meeting at La Jolla Rec Center, 615 Prospect St. FROM SEA LIONS, A1 “The La Jolla Town Council hopes that by bringing together all available sources of information and public comment — including government officials, residents, local business people, wildlife experts, beach users, ocean swimmers, divers and other interested parties — a reasonable and responsible solution can be developed to both protect the human visitors to La Jolla Cove as well as protecting the sea lions from harassment by visitors.” Noting that the three-year-old situation has “escalated in a short period of time,” La Jolla Town Council President Ann Kerr Bache told La Jolla Light, “When we reviewed this issue before, there were potential

problems with potential solutions. Now the sea lions are there and there is an actual problem. We thought before, ‘this is going to get worse if we don’t do something,’ now it has gotten worse.” She said she wants to hear from any available government or environmental representative with whatever updates they may provide. Invited were officials from the Mayor’s office, Council President Sherri Lightner’s office, and several environmental agencies, including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). City representatives confirmed plans to attend. “Maybe the city can’t do anything, but at least we would know that so people aren’t pounding their heads against the wall looking and hoping for some response from
the city,” Kerr Bache said. “Maybe the people we have invited to speak will have ideas we haven’t heard of before that we could explore. But the state of things, for who knows how long, has been that no one is doing anything and something has to happen.” Expressing his disappointment and annoyance at the inability to see progress on the lengthy “crisis” situation, past La Jolla Town Council President Steve Haskins, who also hosted forums on the topic last year, said he hopes as many people as possible show up and any government officials on hand bend an ear. “My hope is that different parties with different interests attend and as a group, we come up with some possible solutions.”

pressure on a lot of people,” McGrory laughed. A collection of old pictures from La Jolla High graduates and tennis players will be shown at the event. “Many people, women and men, will want to see what they looked like in high school,” he said. The six school tennis courts have since been reopened to the public on a first-come, first served-basis, which makes them easily and readily available, McGrory said. “They were closed during construction in the area during the earlier part of the year, and the rumor was they were not going to open them back again.” Funds raised will be used to improve the court conditions, a promise McGrory used as leverage to get the facilities re-opened. The plan is to pay for new windshields with the Vikings logo, install new shade structures between the courts, tend to the nets, and complete a full-on resurfacing of the installations. “We should have a top-notch tennis club court at La Jolla High that assures the high-quality tennis tradition there that will be accessible for future generations,” he said. The courts have priority access for the students during class hours, but then they are open to the community after hours and weekends.

Will November ballot measure ease traffic in La Jolla? Those behind the tax increase offer Rapid Bus, more freeway lanes/connections
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is finalizing the details of a tax increase to improve traffic in the county that will most likely be on the November ballot. The measure proposes a half-cent tax increase over 40 years that would raise $18 billion, which equates to collecting 23 cents from each person in the region every day. Of the raised funds, 42 percent ($7.5 billion) will be spent on transit. For La Jollans, this means a Rapid Bus Line that would run parallel to the current local MTS bus Route 30. The investment of $105.5 million will be divided in capital expenditures ($54 million) to acquire the buses and $51.5 million for operations to pay for drivers, gas and maintenance over a 40-year period. Fifteen of 21 SANDAG board members voted to pursue developing the ballot measure on April 28, and board members will weigh-in on the final text July 8. If agreed upon, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors would review it for the November ballot. SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos said the Rapid 30 will be a new line, and will not just add more buses to existing routes. “The local buses will stay for people making short trips, but the Rapid Bus is designed to provide faster trips for the longer trips. It’s an addition to La Jolla’s existing Route 30. It’s faster because it doesn’t stop in as many places,” he said. One of the challenges of the overlapping route is locating the bus stops in such way that the services don’t interfere with each other. The specific stops of the Rapid buses are still unknown. “We’re trying to avoid having all the buses punching up at once,” Gallegos said.

If the transit tax increase is approved by voters in November, it will fund a new Rapid Bus that would run parallel to the existing MTS bus 30 route in the area, but with less stops to keep people and traffic moving. the funds. Gallegos identified three projects that will directly affect La Jolla traffic — a $144 million investment to add two general purpose lanes to SR 56 from the I-5 to the I-15; $278 million for missing connectors between the I-5 and SR 56 (west to north and south to east); and $1.5 billion to add HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes to the I-5, from the SR 56 to SR 78. Gallegos said these projects may not directly affect La Jolla, but the Village’s traffic will eventually be improved by the
overall implementation. “Not many people live and work in the same community. About 3 million trips get made every day (to commute to work). 70 percent of San Diegans work in a sub region outside the sub region they live in, so an investment on I-5 or I-8 or on a trolley line that may not be directly in La Jolla, may help its residents because they may not all live and work in La Jolla,” he said.

FROM TRAFFIC, A8 Also, a new railroad line will be built from San Ysidro to Kearny Mesa along I-805. “For people traveling to those employments, if we shift some of them to transit it’s going to make traffic better on our surface streets,” he said. A locally-directed fund will give 24 percent ($4.3 billion) to cities across the county for infrastructure improvements. Every city will start with $100,000 and then the rest will be distributed by population. “In the case of La Jolla, it would have to work through the City of San Diego,” Gallegos said. Smaller percentages will be allocated to acquiring open spaces ($2 billion, 11 percent); bike and pedestrian improvements ($540 million, 3 percent); signal synchronization grants ($178 million, 1 percent). The measure has received criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Mayor Kevin Faulconer voted “nay” to the measure in the April 28 SANDAG board meeting pressured by environmentalists who believe the investment should be overwhelmingly for transit, and not road improvement. “The extremes are opposed,” Gallegos admitted. “Right now, the plans are scheduled for July 8 final reading of the ordinance (with the SANDAG board), to pass to the County Board of Supervisors to put on the ballot. At that point, the campaign would be run by using private dollars from the private sector, and hopefully, that campaign would be detailed enough to help San Diegans understand its benefits.” Asked whether he prefers a transit or road-based future for the region, Gallegos answered, “The key is to provide competitive choices, so instead of the government telling you you have to either drive or you have to ride transit, San Diegans can pick what works for them. To get there, we need to have transit that is competitive with the automobile. If the transit trip takes you an hour for something that you would be able to drive in 20 minutes, that’s not a very competitive choice.” SANDAG research shows 66-70 percent of voters identify the project as a need in the county. To pass, the measure will need two thirds of the vote (66 percent).
CRIME AND PUBLIC-SAFETY NEWS Mental health calls to police up Law enforcement agencies throughout the region have reported seeing an 84 percent increase in the number of calls for service that stem from mental health issues, according to new data compiled by the SANDAG Criminal Justice Research Division. In 2015, these calls exceeded 31,700, compared to 17,276 in 2009, and do not include calls for other reasons that later were determined to be related to an underlying mental health issue in some way. While the region as a whole has increased its number of Psychiatric Emergency Response Teams (PERT), the growing calls continue to consume significant law enforcement resources. Some jurisdictions require two sworn officers to respond to mental health-related calls; additional time required is to assess the situation, and time is required to transport and supervise an individual to a licensed facility to be evaluated.

Sarapy Clinic opens Doctor provides care in La Jolla focused on adults
Dr. Sarah Ghayouri
COURTESY
FROM SARAPY CLINIC REPORTS Dr. Sarah Ghayouri moved to La Jolla from Atlanta, Georgia two years ago. She had practiced internal medicine and anti-aging in Atlanta for 20 years, and when she arrived in Southern California, she accepted a job as a medical director at the federal detention facility in downtown San Diego. “I transformed and improved the quality of the health care at the facility,” she said. “Everybody says they can’t compare it now to the way it was before I came here!” But she wanted to start her own practice, and she opened the Sarapy Clinic at 850 Prospect St., where she offers integrated health and wellness care that ranges from hormone therapy, skin care, weight loss and cosmetic laser treatments to internal medicine. “I have practiced conventional internal medicine for more than 20 years. I took care of my patients at my office, at the hospital, rehab centers and nursing homes — whenever needed,” she said. “This continuity of care provided an opportunity to witness natural course of different chronic diseases. Chronic inflammation is the main cause of most of our common chronic medical conditions such as heart
disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and dementia. My goal is to offer most of adult preventive health and wellness services under one roof to help people control chronic inflammation and increase their health span.” Her ultimate purpose, she said, is to improve people’s quality of health, vitality and longevity. She specializes in internal medicine, bio identical hormone replacement, anti-aging and cosmetic laser treatments. Her best advice for a healthy life? “First, control your stress. Stress is the No. 1 killer. Find a way to manage your stress with meditation, yoga and social support. Second is sleep. Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. Third, of course, is a healthy diet. Like Mediterranean-style diet and daily exercise. “Finally, at night, put your computer and your cell phone outside your bedroom and It is best not to have a TV in your bedroom! You’ll sleep better and live a longer healthier life. Sarapy Clinic is at 850 Prospect St., Suite 2. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. Saturdays by appointment.

New look, menu for The Grill at Torrey Pines’ Lodge FROM PR REPORTS In January, Executive Chef Jeff Jackson’s popular longstanding eatery, The Grill at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, temporarily closed to undergo a $2.5 million remodel. Upon reopening its doors to the public the week of June 13, The Grill unveiled a reinvigorated patio expansion overlooking the iconic Torrey Pines Golf Course — complete with five outdoor fire pits, an overhead wooden trellis, additional seating and an outdoor lounge — alongside a revamped kitchen, which sets the stage for Chef Jackson’s highly anticipated new menu, and an expanded selection of local craft beer with 12 taps from some of San Diego’s finest craft breweries. Chef Jackson’s reimagined take on The Grill’s culinary program includes menu classics alongside newly created dishes, which marks the first menu revamp since The Grill’s inception in 2002 with the opening of the AAA Five Diamond Resort, The Lodge at Torrey Pines. Offering a more casual, laid-back atmosphere in comparison to The Lodge’s critically acclaimed, fine-dining counterpart, A.R. Valentien, Chef Jackson brings a playfulness to the menu with hints of nostalgia as he reminisces about childhood moments and favorite dishes with a mature twist, while incorporating the classic and time-honored techniques for which he is respected. The pride and joy of Chef Jackson’s enhanced culinary program is a beautiful, custom-built wood-fired grill located for all to see on the restaurant’s remodeled outdoor patio. Designed by San Diego-based grill expert, Phil Roxworthy, this four-in-one statement piece stands six feet tall surrounded by natural boulders and incorporates a guest facing fireplace opposite a massive six foot

Alongside Chef de Cuisine Kyle Wiegand, Chef Jackson incorporates a variety of global influences which make up California’s culinary heritage, but it’s his homage to the Santa Maria-style wood burning grill, oven and rotisserie that will set a distinct tone and serve as the foundation for the menu with an abundance of slow-cooked proteins and farm-fresh ingredients sourced from some of the region’s most notable organic farms. Standout menu items include: Chef Jackson’s reinterpretation of the Monte Cristo with wood
roasted turkey, Applewood ham and gouda on raisin brioche served with strawberry green pepper jam; a pressed Salmon sandwich with tomato, Bermuda onion, Nicoise olive, lettuce, boiled egg, radish, and red wine vinaigrette on French bread; and The Grill’s famous trademark Drugstore Burger served with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and French fries. ■ The Lodge at Torrey Pines is at 11480 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla.

Fusion Academy features one-on-one instruction BY CHRIS SAUR Most middle and high school-aged students, as well as their parents and teachers, know the struggle of class sizes that are just too large for them to get enough individual attention. Not at Fusion Academy. The accredited private middle and high school (grades 6-12) — which has locations around the U.S but still maintains its flagship campus in Solana Beach at 512 Via De La Valle — has a take on class sizes that is, quite literally, unique. “We teach all of our courses one-to-one,” explained Alexis Archambault, the enthusiastic and personable head of school for Fusion Academy’s Solana Beach campus. “We have a heavy focus on mentoring and the teacher-student relationship. Not only are the teachers there to teach the content and the curriculum, but they are there to mentor the students and be a support for them.” What started in 1989 as a learning center out of founder Michelle Rose Gilman’s house in Cardiff, has now expanded to five other states — New

Classes range from art classes that allow the teacher to tailor instruction to a student’s particular talents, to a music room with a working recording studio, to a visual arts class where students can learn graphic design and video game design, to yoga and, starting next year, karate.
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas and Virginia — as well as Washington D.C. There are 15 California campuses in the San Diego, Los Angeles and Bay areas. All of them are founded on the principles that Rose Gilman discovered while working with kids in her garage. “She was curious about the disconnect between understanding
the information in a one-to-one setting (like tutoring) and then not being able to show that mastery in a classroom, and to her it really came down to the relationships,” Archambault said. But its one-to-one classroom setting isn’t the only aspect of the Fusion experience that stands out. Students can get the individualized instruction in a variety of ways that
often appeal directly to kids that have trouble staying engaged in traditional classes. Available classes range from one-to-one art classes that allow the teacher to tailor instruction to a student’s particular talents, to a music room with a working recording studio where students can play guitar, drums, bass and learn the mixing equipment, to a visual arts class where students can learn graphic design and video game design (and several students have created their own apps which are available on iTunes), to yoga and, starting next year, karate. Additional experiences for Fusion’s full-time, high school-age students come from the required Wellness Courses. This includes a class called Healthy Habits, where the high-schoolers learn problem-solving skills, coping skills and work on building relationships and achieving physical, mental and emotional balance. Along with the usual Spanish and French, students can learn Japanese and American Sign Language.
The majority of Fusion’s courses are UC-approved and transfer to college applications, and the academy has a counselor who helps with college admissions or the transition to whatever the students’ next phase of life entails. Almost every hour-long class is followed by an hour of what the school calls Homework Café, an innovative concept that fills two important roles: socializing and finishing school work before getting home. For the students who need therapeutic help, Fusion’s staff includes a marriage and family therapist and one that deals with substance prevention. Archambault adds that tuition varies greatly because students pay by the class each semester, but for full-time students, the cost is comparable to the private middle and high schools in the area.

Jackson Design & Remodeling launches Home Expressions by JDR FROM PR REPORTS Home Expressions by Jackson Design and Remodeling is the latest innovation from Todd Jackson, President and CEO of Jackson Design and Remodeling (JDR), who has built his business as an industry game changer since 1989. Jackson Design and Remodeling is a design build remodeling company with a unified team of architects, designers and construction professionals that focuses on whole home remodeling, additions, outdoor living spaces, and other high concept designs for the home. Jackson decided to launch Home Expressions after several years of hearing from San Diegans who wanted to work with JDR but had a project different from the company’s high concept structural and architectural focus. Home Expressions specializes in remodeling projects with no structural changes or architecture needed. With the 9,000 square foot Home Expressions Selection Center now right next door to the Jackson Design and Remodeling headquarters, the two companies can handle almost any remodeling project for a client, no matter the size and type. At the Home Expressions Selection Center, visitors can easily see, touch, and experience hundreds of choices in cabinetry, countertops, flooring, windows, doors, mirrors, lighting,
fixtures, plumbing, accessories, finishes, interior and exterior stone, solar options and much more. Professional designers are on-site to offer expertise, ideas and guidance. The number of choices the Selection Center offers is unusually expansive, with vignettes, displays, display boards, and more, all designed in an environment that feels easy to understand, welcoming, and stimulating. Home Expressions by Jackson Design and Remodeling celebrates its launch with an Open House on Saturday, June 18 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Home Expressions Selection Center in Kearny Mesa. Jeff Lewis, star of Bravo TV’s hit reality show “Flipping Out,” will be on hand to meet fans from 1-3 p.m. Guests will also enjoy a special performance by legendary jazz musician Gilbert Castellanos along with food and a champagne toast. The event is open to the public, but guests are required to RSVP on the Home Expressions website or by calling (858) 384-4196.

Equality and the environment are the main things on my agenda. The people I voted for supported those as much as they could. I chose Barbara Bry for District 1 because of her stands on keeping La Jolla as it is and holding back on development. — Isaac Mitchell
I wanted someone who said ‘no’ to the stadium and ‘no’ to more spending. I want efficiency in government service with the money of the people. We pay a lot of taxes. I fell down the other day, and I’m the third person in the last two months to do so because the Fern Glen alley is such a mess. The roads should be in good condition, that’s not asking for too much. We deserve to come out and not be falling on our knees because the streets are in such disrepair. — Melissa Manfredi
I listened to Barbara Bry and Ray Ellis, and also did some reading. It’s important down here (in La Jolla). We need to get the odors out of the Village, get the sea lions out of there and return The Cove to beachgoers and snorkelers and swimmers. It’s being taken over by tourists and selfies, and I would like someone working to bring back the beach. — Bob Evans
I chose who I thought would be the best at improving the economy; funding things that need to be considered in terms of streets, roads and public transportation; and how transparent I believe the elected official would be in their decision-making. Also, on what I thought was their understanding of the issues we struggle on a day-to-day basis in La Jolla. — Susan Hafner

The plethora of sandwich advertising boards throughout the Village adds to “Tarnishing Our Jewel.” On this one corner (Fay Avenue and Kline Street) there are six!

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) City has authority to remove La Jolla seals and sea lions Hardly a week goes by without a letter being printed about “our” harbor seals at the Children’s Pool or California sea lions at The Cove. I find it personally offensive when someone who does not live in California writes a letter regarding our “inhumane” treatment of these marine mammals. These folks have been fed a line of misinformation and don’t know that neither species is facing any significant population challenge. According to the most recent NOAA Stock Assessment Report, the most probable population of harbor seals in southern California is 30,968 and California sea lions 298,750. And for this the City of San Diego is denying beach access to 1,381,000 City of San Diego residents (latest population estimate). Another writer chastised our 52nd Congressional District representative Scott Peters for not approaching Congress and requesting a change in the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Peters was a City Council District 1 representative for eight years. He tried to do something positive about the harbor seals, but he always stood alone against the other council members. His success in Congress would fare no better. The city has no authority to protect these marine mammals, but it does have the legal authority to remove them under MMPA Section 109 (h). The city need only claim the animals are a potential health hazard or nuisance and they may be removed by any city employee using published non-lethal methods. The city’s recalcitrance to act on behalf of our residents, especially those who are physically handicapped, is reprehensible. David W. Valentine, Ph.D. Retired Marine Biologist
It’s time to cleanup La Jolla’s stinky beaches My nephew and his wife were visiting La Jolla from Phoenix, June 1-4. They are an anesthesiologist and registered nurse, respectively, here for the first time in 26 years. I met them for lunch right after they’d been walking around The Cove, Scripps Park and Children’s Pool areas. They were nauseated from the sea lion/seal/bird stench, had a hard time even looking at food and were aghast that beautiful La Jolla had become such a cesspool. Rollers on the cliffs are not going to help! It’s way past time to get rid of the cause of the air and water pollution, fowl and foul, and return these sites to residents and visitors. Also, Ellen Browning Scripps could use a little rest from writhing in her grave. Althea Brimm
Please leave the pinnipeds alone This letter goes to the La Jolla Town Council and the community to say I am for the sea lions of La Jolla and support calls to close The Cove to the general public. The sea
lion population at La Jolla Cove deserves their rightful and peaceful place on Earth. Pieter Cornelis
Election signs are illegal eyesores It’s another election and our public right of ways are littered with illegal signs! California Penal Code section 556.1 states: “It is a misdemeanor for any person to place or maintain or cause to be placed or maintained upon any property in which he has no estate or right of possession any sign, picture, transparency, advertisement or mechanical device which is used for the purpose of advertising, or which brings to notice any person, article of merchandise, business or profession, or anything that is to be or has been sold, bartered or given away without the consent of the owner, lessee or person in lawful possession of such property before such sign, picture, transparency, mechanical device is placed upon the property.” Not only do I view the antiquated practice of campaign signs as a blatant disregard for the law, but for the community as well. I see no value in this form of “advertising,” other than simple name recognition, and I personally associate the names with inconsideration and a propensity to waste money. Both parties are guilty, but some candidates more so with multiple signs all in a row! I have heard excuses like “our volunteers did it,” so I ask, “If you can’t control your own campaign workers, what hope do we have when you are in office?” The majority of signs go up in the dark of night, seemingly knowing this is the best time for criminal activity. It also sets a precedent for other illegal signs such as WE WILL BUY YOUR HOUSE, SWIM LESSONS, SOCCER LEAGUES, etc. With all the social media available, why would anyone choose to use the same methods we saw in the 1960s? Even when used in yards, all these signs accomplish is letting neighbors know who YOU are going to vote for. I seriously doubt anyone has been swayed by these signs other than to despise a view or party different than their own. We have to live next to each other long after elections, as well. I am asking all the guilty parties to go out immediately and collect their signs from the public right of way (or have your volunteers do it) and respect the neighborhoods you expect support from and hope to lead. Chris Cott
Club cancels annual Rough Water Swim Due to the poor ocean water quality and high bacteria levels currently present at La Jolla Cove, we will be deferring the annual La Jolla Rough Water Swim event until The Cove’s ocean water and beach conditions improve. The safety of our swimmers has always been our primary concern. The LJRWS committee feels that to subject our entrants to The Cove’s poor ocean water quality this year would be irresponsible and contrary to the high standards of this
100-year-old-event. We have always strived to provide a first class aquatic event for all members of the family and we don’t feel that would be possible this year considering the current conditions at La Jolla Cove. We are hopefully optimistic and look forward to seeing everyone again in the near future. Bill Perry LJRWS Public Relations Director
In defense of art, it’s better than having hoarders next door I’ve read the many opinions from La Jolla residents about the art house in the Muirlands. I wanted to offer an alternative perspective to neighbors who many see this inspiring art as an eyesore. I have a hoarder on my block; yes, in La Jolla. There are countless broken-down cars in the driveway and on the street, and a disassembled airplane and engine block covered in a tarp less than one-inch inside the property line. Broken chairs and a used kitchen sink greet you as you walk by. There’s probably more furniture on the outside of my neighbor’s house than I have on the inside of mine, and yet there is nothing we as neighbors can do to clean up the eyesore on our street. Eventual intervention by the city for the numerous code violations and the fire hazards will take years, if not longer. So, from my perspective I’m much rather have inspiring art next door than junk. What about you? Anne Reisewitz
Codes and laws apply to all, even popular art I respect the fact that Nasser Pirasteh’s friends like his artwork. Hopefully, they are equally respectful of the fact that his neighbors and the majority of La Jollans do not. That’s the nature of art. Some will enjoy, what others do not. The problem is Pirasteh’s piece fits the building code definition of a structure and is constructed in a setback area that is legally required to remain open space. Contrary to his quotes in the media, the city’s definition of a structure has nothing to do with electricity, toilets, waterproofing, eggs in an omelet or the Chargers. And it doesn’t cease being a structure just because the builder calls it a “sculpture.” Pirasteh’s piece is an illegal structure. He can construct whatever he wants if it’s done legally. But he has no right to illegally impose his work on his neighbors. J. Mannix
Support the Mission Bay Rewild Project Did you know that over the next few years, 170 acres will be restored back to wetlands in the northeast corner of Mission Bay? The San Diego Audubon Society is supporting the project, Rewild Mission Bay. Only six percent of the original marsh remains today.
You may ask “Why are wetlands important?” First, at least 200 species of plants and animals live there. Second, the marsh cleans the water that passes through so it can be fresh and clean when it reaches the bay. Third, the marsh filters carbon dioxide from the air better than the rainforest. Also, the marsh protects us from floods, droughts and sea level rise by soaking up the water like a sponge. If we don’t protect marshes, animals and people might die!

UCSD changes mind on art gallery closure This letter goes out to all academics, staff and students at UC San Diego regarding the University Art Gallery (UAG). Last week, we shared with you that given the significant growth of the undergraduate student body, the UAG was one of several spaces on campus being considered for use as classroom space. We have heard from many of you that, although the classroom need is urgent and important, it is equally important to preserve campus spaces that allow the arts to thrive. We acknowledge these concerns and consequently, with the support of Chancellor Khosla, have removed the UAG from consideration for redevelopment at this time. We remain open to considering a viable proposal for the revitalization of the UAG. Additionally, we have directed our planners to review our portfolio of existing capital projects to determine what opportunities may exist to create alternative new and vibrant replacement spaces across the campus. The UCSD campus is rich with opportunity to experience art in multiple venues. Recent culturally significant installations, the Sojourner Truth Statue, the Chicano Legacy 40 Años Mural, and the Black Legacy Mural, have enriched and humanized the campus, and our Stuart Collection has long demonstrated the power of art in nontraditional spaces. In addition, traditional venues for art exhibition remain, including the Adam D. Kamil Art Gallery, Visual Arts Gallery at SME, Visual Arts Facility Gallery, gallery@calit2, Geisel Library and other spaces. The arts are deeply embedded in UCSD’s past, present and future. Suresh Subramani, Executive Vice Chancellor Cristina Della Coletta, Dean, Division of Arts & Humanities

Red crabs wash out at beaches in La Jolla for the second year BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN arge numbers of red crabs were reported washed ashore in La Jolla Shores on May 30. But Linsey Sala, museum scientist and manager of the Pelagic Invertebrates Collection at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) assures this is a natural phenomenon that occurs off Baja California and also seen in past years off Southern California. “It’s not really known why they strand, particularly; these are small, mainly swimming crabs that spend quite a bit of time in the water column. If they get entrained in certain strong, fast-moving currents or tides, they can get swept onshore pretty easily and don’t necessarily have the ability to crawl back into the water,” Sala said. Last year, hordes of red crabs were found dead or alive on the beaches of Southern California, especially North San Diego County and Orange County. And although they don’t have an accurate count of them, Sala said marine biologists have seen them present in their samples throughout 2014-2016. “Fishers have reported seeing them in the gut contents of their catch, and nearshore divers report seeing them on the

A crustacean among the kelp seafloor,” she explained. “They have a plausible explanation for their reappearance on our beaches: the crabs might have established a local population in our waters.” The El Niño event of 1957-1959 brought red crab populations to Southern California, where they were noted through 1960. The phenomenon was studied by scientists who noticed the crustacean lingering near our coasts. “The red crabs seemed to set up a population and they were here in higher numbers for another several years after the El Niño event. They can be brought in by northward flowing currents and inhabit these coastal waters, which can be a suitable place for them to live,” Sala said. The May pelagic crab stranding was reported to
SIO, said communications officer Britany Hook, but when scientists went out to study them, most had already been brought back into the ocean or eaten by predators. Red crabs are a good food source for many local fish, sea birds and mammals, Sala explained. “Even some whales will eat them,” she said. In their native Baja California, they are called “tuna crabs” because they are a favorite food of several tuna species. However, these crabs are not recommended for human consumption, even though they don’t pose any threats. Their known life span is about three years, and they are often deemed “grazers.” They feed on plant-like organisms such as microscopic algae, or animals like krill and other small crustaceans.

Pamela Mae Babcock May 24, 1953 - May 11, 2016
La JoLLa — Pamela Mae Babcock was born in Tacoma, Washington, to James alfred and Patricia Marie Babcock. The family moved to San Diego in 1964 and they settled in La Jolla where she and her younger brother, Jimmy, were raised. In the early 70’s, she worked the summers at the Del Mar racetrack. Pam became the first woman ‘allowed’ to work the private Turf Club, serving Desi arnaz, Harry James and Telly Savalas. a natural salesperson like her father, Pam sold advertising for the Chamber of Commerce in Sacramento. She returned back to the San Diego Convention Center where she earned many sales awards. The love for sales and food brought her to a successful catering career. one of her events was a private party honoring Lucianno Pavarotti, who asked her to prepare his special diet of grilled scallops, the only way he preferred them – on
a hibachi while wearing white gloves. She happily obliged. The sport she couldn’t resist was boxing. She had a private meeting with her favorite boxer, Mohammad ali, in Las Vegas. She always remembered what he told her, “The Will must be stronger than the Skill“. That meeting lead to catering many fundraisers in the boxing world such as Larry Holmes vs the Chargers and other events the boxer held. In the 80’s Pam’s adventures took her to the sea, where she lived aboard a beautiful 44’ motorsailer named the
‘Hem Kara Hem’, in taking from the Swedish roots of her mother means ‘Home Sweet Home’. Pam’s creativity abounded when she traveled to Soreze, France. an ‘art heaven’ where she created her first painting. From there she became hooked on painting and travel. She took art classes in Italy, Mexico, La Jolla’s athenaeum and most recently returned from Cuba. Licensed for many years in the insurance industry, she found more joy in selling beautiful ‘twisty necklaces’ that she discovered on her travels to Provence, France. Pam found a niche and created Babcock Imports to sell necklaces and other jewelry to boutiques. Pam led the Neuropathy Support Group of San Diego for many years. She was a member of the La Jolla Garden Club, International Pen Women of La Jolla and the Rolls Royce owners Club. Pam was honored to follow her mother’s footsteps and was a standing member
with the wonderful ladies of Club altura. Pam’s artistic talent showed through her daily life. She was a very talented creator who saw things differently. You would be blessed to receive one of her custom birthday cards with pressed flowers inside, along with a whimsical poem. With her beautiful smile and infectious laugh, she will always be remembered by those she met. This is truly a loss for all of us. She was predeceased by her mother, Patricia, and her father, James. She is survived by her brother, Jimmy, and his wife Michele, Babcock; niece, Britton Babcock; and nephew, Brandon Babcock. a Celebration of Pam’s life will be held on June 17, 2016, at 11 am at Torrey Pines Church, 8320 La Jolla Scenic Dr. North, La Jolla. a reception to follow at La Jolla Country Club, 7301 High ave, La Jolla.

California Senate passes ignition interlock bill
COURTESY
Kiwanis Club’s Junior Olympics find Capri Lewis and John Guckian to be ‘The Fastest Kids in La Jolla.’
The California Senate unanimously approved a bill that would require ignition interlocks for all drunk driving offenders in the State on June 1. The breathalyzers would be installed in cars and impede the ignition if the driver’s level of alcohol in breath exceeds the limits. DUI offenders could have a device in their cars for up to a year. The bill is now headed to the Assembly for consideration. Alameda, Los Angeles, Turale and Sacramento counties are part of a pilot program that requires ignition interlocks to offenders. Mothers Against Drunk Driving, a nonprofit that
helps victims of drunk driving, reported that the devices have prevented more than 1 million attempts to drunk drive in California. The organization applauded the bill sponsored by Senator Jerry Hill.
250 street miles repaired in San Diego so far this year Eleven months after San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer promised to repair 1,000 miles over five years, the city has completed a quarter of those miles. “Working together with the City Council, our neighborhood investments are paying off, especially in communities that hadn’t received the attention they rightfully deserved and the investments they required,” Faulconer said in a press release. The Mayor has proposed $109 million in funding for street repair in the 2017 budget.
World Ocean’s Day beach clean slated for June 11 in The Shores To commemorate World Ocean’s Day, San Diego Coastkeeper is holding a beach cleanup 9-11 a.m. Saturday, June 11 at La Jolla Shores.

Rabbi Philip Graubart gives a shoutout to healthcare workers
R
abbi Philip Graubart has been Senior Rabbi of Congregation Beth El, 8660 Gilman Drive in La Jolla, since 2002. His Farewell Havdalah is Saturday, June 18. During his tenure, Beth El has become a vibrant center of Jewish life and engagement, say congregants. He has held leadership volunteer positions in many organizations, including the Rabbinical Assembly, United Synagogue, San Diego Rabbinic Association, Hillel, Jewish Federation of San Diego, San Diego Jewish Academy, and Jewish Family Service. He received his rabbinic degree from Jewish Theological Rabbi Phillip Seminary and a Graubart master’s degree from Hebrew University. Prior to joining Beth El, Rabbi Graubart served as the rabbinic leader of congregations in New York, and Northampton, Massachusetts. He is an accomplished writer, with regular columns in The Jerusalem Report, The Jerusalem Post, San Diego Jewish Journal, and Jewish Journal of Western Massachusetts, and blogs at timesofisrael.com and cbe.org He is the author of five books: “My Dinner with Michael Jackson,” “Planet of the Jews,” “My Mother’s Song,” “A Suicide Note” and “Rabbis and Gangsters.” What brought you to La Jolla? I vacationed here years ago with my family and told myself then that I wasn’t interested in moving, but if a job opened up in La Jolla, I would reconsider. In 2002, Congregation Beth El was looking for a Senior Rabbi. It turned out to be a remarkable fit and a spiritual community that has been our home for 14 years. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? Better parking for clergy in area hospitals. It can take us more than a half hour to park, to visit our sick parishioners. Who or what inspires you? I’m most inspired by healthcare workers in our hospitals and nursing homes. They are often the most spiritual people I meet. They’re not always highly-paid, or highly-recognized, but they embody a pure spirit of service to humanity.

Jazzing Up the Place Historical Society exhibit chronicles La Jolla development in the 1920s
BY ASHLEY MACKIN he 1920s was one heck of a decade in La Jolla. Wrapping up a round of street paving that included Torrey Pines Road and Prospect Street, La Jolla Boulevard was also paved in 1920. The San Diego Electric Railroad opened a terminal at Prospect Street and Fay Avenue in 1924. La Valencia Hotel debuted in 1926. Several of La Jolla’s prominent subdivisions were developed by 1927. Paying homage to the momentous decade, the La Jolla Historic Society’s latest exhibit “From Jazz Age to Our Age: Landmark Homes in La Jolla,” displays photos and drawings of notable homes, as well as historical biographies of some of La Jolla’s most influential architects and homeowners. It can be viewed from June 11 to Sept. 4 at the Society’s Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect St. At the same time, the photo project “Cows on the Beach 1906-2016” will be on display. “The 1920s were a time when the community was emerging from what had been the ‘beach cottage’ Village in the 1890s and 1900s and through World War I,” said Heath Fox, La Jolla Historical Society executive director.

La Jolla Cultural Partners
n Olof’s and my relationship, I’ve always been the one who resisted change and he the one who embraced it. So it was puzzling that when the big tree in our front yard died, Olof refused to let it be removed. It was when he started using “feeling” words about the tree that I became officially alarmed and knew it was time to call the Klingon embassy and ask for my real husband back. My husband is an engineer and a former Air Force pilot. He’s out-going, universally liked, incredibly kind, and has a great sense of humor. But a sentence that starts with the words “I feel” is never going to come out of this man’s mouth. Actions, he maintains, speak louder than words. OK, but as I’ve pointed out to him on more than a few occasions, sometimes words would come in really handy. I, meanwhile, am pathologically sentimental toward anything that has been in my possession for more than two minutes, and particularly toward trees. I had an especially strong attachment to this tree which had not only been the focal point of our front yard for four decades but was the backdrop for every family photo. I’d spent hundreds of happy hours reading under its abundant year-round shade. In earlier years it was constantly full of kids, both ours and neighbors. The tree tolerated all that activity well, even the rope bridges and tire swings and having endless wooden steps nailed
into its trunks and branches, never mind all manner of platforms and tree forts. If it could speak, I think it would say those were its happiest years. So when the tree started losing its leaves and oozing sap last fall, I hired numerous agricultural pest people and arborists to try to diagnose its afflictions and save it. One tree guy looked me right in the eye. “Well, you know, lady, sometimes things just get old and DIE.” “I’m aware of the concept,” I said coolly, making a note to savage him on Yelp. Multiple arborists said that the tree, if not officially dead, was terminally moribund, and more to the point, unsavable. With the heaviest of hearts, I started researching tree removal companies and even a new tree to replace it. After being cut back 40 percent as a last ditch effort in January, the tree did begin to produce a few leaves this spring — the operative word here being “few.” Every day Olof was out front examining it, counting leaves. “It’s coming back!” he insisted. “I told you!” “But Olof,” I countered, “22 leaves can’t support a 35-foot tree.” “But it’s trying so hard,” he insisted. “I just think anything that is working so hard to live needs to be supported. You’re not being fair to it!” Fair? And now it has a persona? Did it also have a name he wasn’t sharing with me? And by
Our beloved tree, down to two (moribund) leaves. the way: who ARE you? In the 51 years I’ve known him, Olof has always been gracious about not pushing me into changes I wasn’t ready to make no matter how crazy it made him. So giving the tree another month seemed perfectly reasonable. There was still time to take advantage of the growing season. But three more months went by, the leaf count was down to 11, spring had sprung and to me it just looked like we had a large dead tree in our front yard. Sitting outside reading under barren branches is very depressing, never mind seriously low on shade. But Olof still clung to hope. “Just one more month!” he implored. And then he’d go out and count the leaves again, now on the fingers of one hand. In a strong wind, I feared the tree could come crashing through the roof, ruining our whole day. Finally, I said gently, “Olof, I think it’s time to pull the plug. But I won’t do it unless you say OK.” In retrospect, he never actually said OK,
INGA
just quietly nodded his head. I thought he was on board with this until he glumly queried a few nights later, “So when are the assassins coming?” Ironically, the night before the “assassins” came, I was the one outside with my arms around the tree trunk, crying and thanking it for so much joy and happiness. The kids, who had planned to build some new tree forts in it for their kids, were really sad to see it go as well. We at Nostalgia Central are trying to bond with the new tree, its 10-inch circumference looking pretty puny in comparison to the 65-inch circumference of its predecessor. So now all I have to do is wonder if the embassy on Klingon has returned my real husband. There’s an easy way to find out. I could just ask him how he’s feeling. —Inga’s lighthearted looks at life appear regularly in the La Jolla Light. Reach her at Inga47@san.rr.com

FROM HISTORICAL SOCIETY, B1 La Jolla and the arrival of the electric street car, people started moving to La Jolla and hiring architects to build homes. “So it was a formidable time and there was a very interesting group of architects and architectural styles that they used for these homes.” Exhibit Curator Seonaid McArthur said, “It’s also about learning who these families were that came here, where they came from, why they came here, and much more.” As she explained it, “With the 1920s and the financial incentives that came down from the government, there was this huge sense of wealth — the rich became richer and the middle class had more money to spend. So people like Ellen Browning Scripps were able to share their wealth.” Sharing anecdotes that stemmed from a “remarkable amount of research” on the principal areas that formed or became architecturally significant that decade — Barber Tract (1921), WindanSea (1922), Prospect Park (1923), La Jolla Hermosa (1923-1926), La Jolla Shores (1926), Country Club Heights (1926), Muirlands (1927) and Ludington Heights and La Jolla Hills (1927) — McArthur said certain key players contributed to development. Starting with the Barber Tract, she said, “Phillip Barber came from New York and made a trip out here without his family and saw how beautiful it was compared to congested, dirty New York, and he bought some acreage. He hired the same architects that designed the La Jolla Library and built his first home. That’s an important part of the exhibition because the Phillip Barber
The Barber Family home was one of the earliest important residences in La Jolla, built in 1921.” Because that house was recently renovated, a portion of the exhibit will be dedicated to the process and challenges of working on a historic home. When it came to putting WindanSea on the architectural map, McArthur said, “It was really an important and amazing development by architect Rudolph Schindler … and the story of that development, which is now a pilgrimage site for architects from around the world, is a story that has never been told here. Before 1923, when it was built, there were ugly row houses there. They were all the same. Everyone looked into each other’s houses. No one had gardens. (After

Philip Barber House, 1923 Schindler) you have this site, a block from the beach, that had private gardens, you could see the water. It’s one of the most amazing designs of its time.” The La Jolla designs of other architects are also featured in the exhibit — homes by Richard S. Requa, Edgar V. Ullrich, Ralph L. Frank, Herbert E. Palmer, Thomas Shepherd, Cliff May and two pioneering female architects, Florence B. Palmer and Lilian J. Rice. “This was also a time when there were these wonderful craftsmen who came from Europe and Mexico, and who knew how to forge iron, use leaded glass, and create this craftsman aesthetic of woodworking and carving. The exhibit tries to teach about the styles and what makes them up,” McArthur said. In addition to Craftsmen homes, other architectural styles — Spanish Revival, Moorish, English Tudor and early Rancho/Hacienda — are highlighted with drawings that are half rendering, half photo, and notes that point out the features of each.

dedicated to the “Cows on the Beach: 1906-2016” photos, an exhibit loosely tied to the “From Jazz Age to Our Age” display. In what McArthur calls “a pre-1920s innocence” the side exhibit shows a 1906 photo by Herbert R. Fitch of cows resting on the beach of La Jolla Shores when the area was predominately a dairy farm. Behind it will be the 2016 re-creation by photographer Philipp Scholz Rittermann, which was taken in March. Fox explained, “Along with the cows photos, we will have a history panel about La Jolla Shores, so it’s very much tied to that early Shores history … In a sense, it’s like two little exhibitions in the same gallery space, but in another sense, it’s very much a tie there.” ■ IF YOU GO: “From Jazz Age to Our Age: Landmark Homes in La Jolla” and “Cows on the Beach 1906-2016” will be on display from noon to 4 p.m. Thursday-Sunday through June 11-Sept. 4 at Wisteria Cottage galleries, 780 Prospect St. Admission is free.

Keeping It In The Family
Developer surprised to learn he’s working on house built by great-grandfather BY ASHLEY MACKIN f the many projects carried out by La Jolla-based GDC Construction, owner Pancho Dewhurst’s current project holds sentimental value. A Spanish-style, two-story house on Arenas Street, the house Dewhurst is redeveloping, which will be complete in November, was built and owned by his great-grandfather. To keep the family roots, Pancho’s wife, Brandy, is the architect. “One of my good friends purchased a home in La Jolla, and said he found some plans in the attic and asked if I had any relation to E.W. Dewhurst, and I said that’s my great-grandfather!” Dewhurst said. “The plans say ‘proposed residence for E.W. Dewhurst, La Jolla’ and that he would be the builder and contractor. So this was early on when my great-grandfather moved to La Jolla and built a personal residence for himself. He actually lived there and these are the original blueprints.” In the course of the project, Pancho added, “It was kind of fun to take the house apart and see the existing (frame)
O
... It’s sentimental for me to be doing a project that was built by my great-grandfather, and to continue the tradition of building in La Jolla (that has been going on) since 1929.” Pancho is a fourth-generation builder in La Jolla. In addition to the homes built by his great-grandfather, Pancho’s grandfather remodeled the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library and built the Mount Soledad Cross. Pancho’s father George (a former president of La Jolla Sunrise Rotary Club) led the remodel of the Firehouse YMCA, among other projects. “I take a lot of pride in (this project and) the history and the passion for building … and continuing our legacy in town,” Pancho said. As to why Pancho didn’t know about this house as one of many of the family worked on over the years, he said, “My great-grandparents and grandparents moved around a lot, so they would buy houses and flip them. I know my father showed me different houses that they build and sold, but we didn’t know about this one.”

Center for Healthy Aging opens at UCSD
Intent is to become a magnet for renowned scientists and groundbreaking research BY WILL BOWEN By the year 2050, the average life expectancy will be 90 years old — about twice as old as the life expectancy at the turn of the century. New research, coming out of England, has suggested that soon, 30 percent of all senior women will live to be over 100! Mainland China now has about 500 million people over age 65. That is 200 million more than the entire U.S. population of 300 million! 20 percent of our 300 million, or 60 million, will be 65 years old by the year 2050. That’s a lot of senior citizens! As populations age, more services will be needed for older adults. Hence, the Center for Healthy Aging was created at UC San Diego. An inaugural event to open the center was held May 28 at Atkinson Auditorium at the Qualcomm Institute on campus. The overflow crowd necessitated the opening of a second room where late-comers watched the proceedings on a huge video screen. David A. Brenner, M.D., Dean of the School of Medicine and Sandra A. Brown, Ph.D., vice chancellor of research, introduced the program, which was six hours long. The first speaker was Dilip V. Jeste, M.D., director of both the Stein Institute for Research on Aging and the Center for Healthy Aging. Jeste considered the questions: Why do humans have such a long life span? How is this longevity beneficial to
Todd Coleman
John Feather
our species? What is the evolutionary significance of our long life span? He said most animals die soon after they are no longer fertile and able to produce offspring, but humans continue to thrive past that point, so there’s a reason and a benefit to longevity. Older people become wiser and more in control of their emotions. They are able to advise younger people. Jeste pointed out that new research has shown children are happier and healthier when their grandparents are involved in their upbringing. Further, he said, many older people continue to make contributions in the arts, sciences and humanities that benefit the species. The next speaker was Gary L. Gottlieb, M.D. and M.B.A. and professor of psychiatry at Harvard University. He went into depth analyzing the rising costs of health care. His research is focused on trying to improve
Gary Gottlieb
Dilip Jeste
health care while lowering costs. He said 60 percent of all seniors are using social security and Medicare to pay for health services. Gottlieb suggested a way to go is to create complex care teams that look after individual patients. These teams coordinate information and get the best service at the lowest cost. Remote care with patients and doctors communicating information by way of computer “platforms” is an essential part of the process. Gottlieb’s experiments with care teams have shown they can save up to 7 percent of costs and produce better health outcomes for patients. Next to speak was a panel consisting of Ron Knight, Todd Coleman and Sallie Rafie. Knight, Ph.D., is a computer science and engineering professor. He studies the field of human microbiomes, which are like the beneficial flora that live inside intestines. This healthy bacteria, which some scientists
Rob Knight
Carmen Roa
call “our bugs,” has more DNA than our actual DNA. Our bugs live in our mucus membranes and on the skin. They appear to play an important role in susceptibility to disease. Coleman, Ph.D., is a professor of bioengineering. He studies wearable sensors and computational devices that monitor body functions, like pulse or blood pressure, and send the information directly to your doctor. Soon most of us will be wearing these devices, which are like the Apple watch. Rafie is a doctor of pharmacy in charge of medication safety at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy. Her job is to try and prevent prescription errors. She advocates for patients taking an active role in their care to make sure they get the correct prescription. John Feather, Ph.D. and CEO of Grantmakers in Aging, spoke about building communities conducive to healthy aging. He

said we need to link housing with health care, transportation and social services. He talked about his mom’s senior housing in Texas. She lives in a great community, he said, but as soon as you step outside the main gates, there are no sidewalks and no street lights on the main drag, so she cannot walk across the street safely to go to the bank or the post office. Poor planning! To fix the problem would require a bond measure, but the seniors themselves voted it down to save taxes. After Feather’s talk, came another panel discussion. Jason Childers, vice president of Merrill Gardens, discussed getting seniors affordable housing and Eduardo R. Macagno, Ph.D., founding dean of the Division of Biological Sciences at UCSD, spoke about Alzheimer’s disease. Panel member Carmen Roa, a 74-year-old retired real estate agent, stole the show by laying down the law about not abandoning or neglecting seniors. “Find the time to visit and love your elders, they gave you everything they had when you were growing up,” she advised.

Urban Tides Citizen Scientists La Jollans may help chart sea level rise via phone app
BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN o you frequently walk the beach? Do you own a cell phone or a camera? Would you like to contribute to the study of coastal erosion and sea level rise? If your answer to these three questions is yes, Urban Tides has the perfect project for you! Urban Tides is a program sponsored by University of Southern California Sea Grant that connects citizens and scientists to document the impact of sea level rise in urban communities. Since the program started in 2015, the database has received more than 300 updates from locations ranging from Point Conception to the U.S. Mexico border. Sara Giddings, who is one of the scientists involved with the program, studies estuaries and coastal oceanography at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). She works with in situ measurements. “For me it is incredibly beneficial to also have photographs to document changes that are being observed near the estuary mouth,” she said. Participants send their pictures of beaches, cliffs or estuaries through a free phone app or a computer program that can be downloaded from the website dornsife.usc.edu/uscseagrant/urban-tides-initiative. Then, scientists from several fields use them in their research. “We are using these images as a window into the future,” Giddings said. She explained that the program was ramped up during El Niño because the conditions that it causes are comparable to what scientists expect sea level rise to be. “El Niño conditions lead to a background rise in sea level, and that rise is accompanied by more extreme events, so we have very large waves, and it also happens during the winter when we have our largest astronomical tide,” she said. During the winter, pictures of flooding of coastal infrastructure, cliff erosion or flooding estuaries are of great value to scientists. However, they are as interested in the summer season that brings the sand back to beaches. “We want to see how much comes back, and how quickly it’s coming back, so that we get a sense of how the response varies after such a large event like this winter’s El Niño … so that we can get that comparison point,” Giddings said.

SARAH GIDDINGS
La Jolla Shores after an El Niño storm, winter 2016 For Giddings, the most valuable pictures are those that capture the same place in different points in time. “If somebody takes a daily or weekly walk on the beach, and they record a photograph from the same location multiple times throughout the year where they are looking in the same direction and trying to get the same point of view over and over again, this allows us to build the timeline,” she explained. The photo guidelines available on the Urban Tides website provide a few tips on how to take helpful pictures: “Find the highest wet water line in the sand. Then, take two steps or strides landward from the water line. Take the photo facing
parallel to the shoreline. Include some sort of structure or feature in your picture, such as a pier, jetty, breakwater or dock, for perspective. This will help scientists better identify the water line. Ideally, you’ll want your picture to catch the wave as it reaches the water line again.” Giddings said that for many people, the phone app could be easier. “If you are walking down the beach and you see something of particular interest, you can bring up the app on your phone and take a picture right then and there on the spot, and it will record your location and the time stamp, and you can add a couple of notes and it’s done! You have recorded your first entry!” Pictures from all locations along the San Diego coast are encouraged, however, scientists defined the best spots to shoot in La Jolla: “Photographs from regions that are particularly at risk for erosion and flooding are important. We have had a good number of pictures taken from La Jolla Shores, which has seen a lot of changes through the winter. My particular interest is in the estuary, I’ve been encouraging people to take pictures at the estuary, for example Los Peñasquitos Lagoon which sits at the border of San Diego and Del Mar at Torrey Pines State Beach. That location is a good one. And there’s a scientist at Scripps who’s studying cliff erosion, so he is really interested in folks who are capturing some of the cliffs near Torrey Pines.” Giddings highlighted the importance of this program in the long-term. “Next year is projected to be switching to La Niña conditions, so we would expect less extreme weather level events, but that’s really valuable for us to have a comparison images. This is something we would like to get going longterm,” she said. For now, the project doesn’t have a time tag on it. — The Urban Tides program also organizes beach talks with scientists where citizens can learn about sea level rise and coastal erosion, and receive tips for taking photos for the project.

Prosciutto and Green Pea Risotto Eating my way through Parma: High on the Hog with Prosciutto
P
rosciutto is to Italy as a burger is to America, a crepe is to France or ramen is to Japan. The naturally marbled ham delicately aromatic with nuances of dried fruit and barley malt, sliced so paper-thin, if you held a strip in the air you could practically see your dinner guest through the pinkish meat is ubiquitous throughout the land. Perfectly balanced with sweet and savory notes, this delicacy is served at every meal – with fresh figs and melons for breakfast, on a crusty roll for lunch, or blended with pasta or risotto for dinner – you’ll never meet a prosciutto you didn’t like. The moist, fragrant air of the bucolic hills surrounding Parma provide the perfect conditions for curing, while the ancient art of charcuterie passed down from generations of skilled master butchers has created one of the culinary masterpieces for which this region is world famous. Let me share my experiences through prosciutto land as I toured a charcuterie museum and production facility (Fattoria Ca’Dante) in the mountainous countryside of Modena (40 miles southeast of Parma), then pigging out with a luscious lunch of the melt-in-your-mouth velvety slices. The Saintly Swine: During the Middle Ages the pig had been targeted as the embodiment of evil spirits, until Saint
Anthony, patron of farm animals, vindicated the pig for being wrongly maligned. Every year on St. Anthony’s Day, porcines are to be spared from slaughter. A large statue of the beloved pig is displayed in the center of the village across from the church in Modena near the Museo della Salumeria. This three-floor charcuterie museum was built by the Villani Salumi Company, a family business that has been dedicated to curing meats since 1886 to pay tribute to this ancient culinary art. Get a Leg Up: It is typically a 10-stage process from pigsty to table. Only certain breeds of pig are suitable to become prosciutto ham. The fresh hind leg is sent to a cooling room, trimmed of excess fat and skin, then transported to a curing house where it is seasoned with both humid and dry salts. Washed, dried and then hung on wooden frames called “scalere,” and sometimes greased with a mixture of lard, salt and pepper they are transported to dry “cellars” where enzymatic processes create an aromatic delight. Finally, after 12 months, an expert uses a horse bone needle to ensure that the prosciutto is ready to be branded with the certification stamp. A Tale of Two Hams: There are two kinds of prosciutto each regulated by the Consortium of the region where they are produced – Prosciutto di San Daniele and Prosciutto di Parma. The former cures in northern, drier

conditions, producing a leaner, savory ham, while the latter cures in the moist, humid Parma air creating a softer, more marbleized, richer meat. Prepared with only Italian pigs and natural sea salt prosciutto is easily digestible, and has a mother lode of protein, B vitamins, phosphorous, zinc and fluid-balancing potassium. Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room: Speck, also called “farmer’s bacon” is the new prosciutto, a smoky-style riff on the traditional Italian cured ham.

tasteful barbecue flavor of Speck really appeals to the American palate, and is growing in popularity both in Canada and the U.S.” While Speck is also from the hind leg of the hog, the bone is removed before the curing process, which takes place in the delicate climatic region of the valleys of Alto Adige, where the hams are hand-rubbed with a blend of salt, pepper, bay leaves, rosemary and juniper berries, then cold-smoked with beech wood, and exposed to fresh valley air. The aging process is around 22 weeks, where hams hang in special temperature-controlled rooms to mature.

SPONSORED COLUMNS STEPHEN PFEIFFER, PH.D. Clinical Psychologist 858.784.1960
A Better Solution to Alleviate Stress These days, there seem to be an almost limitless number of reasons to feel stress, from finances, supporting a family, and work (or lack thereof), to social pressures, competition from online social media, loneliness, the current political landscape, and the online comments section of any type of media. We have developed many ways to cope with this stress—and usually, coping involves a type of reward, such as a treat, either with food or with shopping. But psychologists recently published a study that reveals that such rewards have almost no affect in actually relieving stress. In fact, levels remained the same as those
who gave themselves no such reward. So is there actually something people can do on a regular basis to lift their moods when confronted with stress? As it turns out, there is—and it involves not looking inwardly but looking outwardly: Helping others. The reward study, led by Dr. Katherine Nelson of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, followed a group of almost 500 participants, assessed and questioned to determine their emotional, psychological, and social well-being. The participants were then divided into groups: one was asked to perform acts of kindness for themselves, which could include taking the day off work or even exercising more; another group did good deeds for the planet and society at large, such as picking up trash; a third group performed acts of kindness for others, which could include anything from helping cook dinner for the family, buying someone lunch, donating to someone’s Kickstarter campaign—helping someone in any way, big or small; the fourth group served as the control to do nothing
that differed from their ordinary behaviors or practices. Over six weeks, participants reported their emotions, positive or negative, and then filled out a final questionnaire at the end of the study. The results found that those in the two groups who performed acts of kindness, either for specific other people or for the world, reported more positive emotions, either joy, contentment, satisfaction, or love. On the other hand, those who focused inwardly—treating themselves with acts of kindness or rewards—reported no change in emotions, no improvement in well-being. This matched the results of the group that did nothing extra. I have previously discussed the benefits of acts of kindness and other pro-social behaviors on well-being. There is a sense of empowerment that comes from participating in kindness toward others, a way to have positive control over the world, even if that is small. In helping others, we take pride in our actions. Furthermore, by participating in acts of kindness, we not only promote
kindness but will experience the benefits of kindness, either in reciprocation or appreciation. This helps to establish a better view of the world, especially in times of stress (and political divisiveness)—and this better world view, while putting us in a more calm environment, can have a real physiological impact in ways that include lowering blood pressure. Furthermore, according to acclaimed psychologist Dacher Keltner, head of UC Berkeley’s Social Interaction Lab and consultant to Pixar on the film Inside Out, acts of kindness release dopamine, the feelgood hormone. He’s spoken at length on the connection between compassion and emotion and has written books on how acts of compassion serve to reduce stress. So in a way, by doing something nice for someone else, our brains end up rewarding us by making us feel good.

French-American students score at international math contest
COURTESY
Alexander Price, David Llewellyn Smith and Emma Berman of the San Diego French-American School with their awards
BY ASHLEY MACKIN Three students from San Diego French-American School in La Jolla placed among the top in the world at the spring 2016 “La Course aux Nombres” (Race for Numbers) math competition. Schools within the French-International Network (about 500 worldwide) were invited to participate, and SDFAS students Emma Berman, Alexander Price and David Llewellyn Smith had some of the best scores. They received certificates at a small ceremony in early June. Head of School Christian Jarlov explained, “The contest is quite challenging because the students have to find answers as quickly as possible to 28 math problems. The contest starts easy and gets harder, and participants have only seven minutes to solve all 28 problems. You really have to be quick and cannot make mistakes. It’s a matter or being good with numbers and being quick with mental calculations, so you can solve the problems.” The test is administered online. Because of repeated high scores, Alexander placed first among sixth-graders for the United States and placed second internationally. He and his classmates are under the guidance of math teacher Catherine Mevel. Eligible classes were given an initial test as part of the contest, and those
that did well enough were invited to go online and take practice tests before the big time. For 11-year-old Emma, those practice tests made a huge difference. “I like to improve wherever I can, so I practiced at home every night,” she said. “It’s like riding a bike. When I did my first test, I thought I needed to practice more like when I fell off my bike for the first time. I fell off, but I kept practicing and now it’s easier and more fun.” David, 12, said he practiced a few times a week, but found the test to be easy. Having competed in other math competitions, he said he is “pretty good at math.” Alexander, who scored high enough to earn first place, said he thought he did “terrible and was going to fail” the initial test and was surprised at his results. “I was so nervous,” he said. “But I guess I did OK on the first test, and I got 27 out of 30 on the last test. I was really surprised when I won the whole thing.” He added, “I like math because doing calculations is interesting to me and arithmetic is fun for me.” Although not “extremely surprised,” Jarlov said he is proud of his students. “We know that their results are due to the very strong academic environment where they study.”

Maestro Steven Schick conducts the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus in ‘Missa Solemnis.’
COURTESY
La Jolla Symphony & Chorus picks 2016-17 concert theme FROM LJS&C REPORTS “Music From the Middle of Life” will be the theme of the next La Jolla Symphony & Chorus (LJS&C) season, which opens Oct. 29, 2016 and closes June 11, 2017. Music Director Steven Schick said he built the concerts around music that composers wrote at the rich midpoint of their careers. In many cases, these works acted as pivot points, leading to new arcs of musical development in their later years. Season highlights of the six-concert subscription series include Beethoven’s Fifth and Sixth symphonies, Verdi’s “Requiem,” Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition,” Stravinsky’s “Symphony of Psalms,” and contemporary works by three women composers who offer diverse perspectives:
Iranian-American Gity Razaz, Icelander Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Canadian Vivian Fung. Guest artists will include the San Diego Master Chorale and San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus; violinist David Bowlin; UCSD’s Kallisti vocal ensemble; flutist Carlos Aguilar, winner of the LJS&C 2015 Young Artists Competition; and more. “For Beethoven, the mid-life awakening was the awareness that his increasing deafness meant life would never be the same,” Schick said. “And on one day in his late 30s, he premiered both the Fifth and Sixth symphonies: the first an acknowledgement of fate and faith, the second an encomium to a natural world he could no longer hear. We will explore through this music the art of the pivot — from Beethoven to
Luciano Berio’s ground-breaking ‘Sinfonia’ to Stravinsky’s ‘Symphony of Psalms.’” The 2016-2017 season also marks David Chase’s final year as the ensemble’s Choral Director. Chase will retire from LJS&C after conducting the finale on June 10-11, 2017, culminating a 43-year career. ■ IF YOU GO: Concerts are performed Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. in Mandeville Auditorium on the UC San Diego campus. A free pre-concert lecture is given by the conductor one hour prior. “Early Bird” discount subscriptions are on sale through June 17 for $60-$165. Single tickets go on sale in late August.
